Mediatized

00:00 I smell Victoria Newland. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Have you been watching E! Entertainment again? Have you been going on the crazy channels?

00:41 TMZ is one of them. Well, TMZ spends that they'll spend a half an hour talking about this show. I'd never heard of it. Vanderpump Rules, of course. And then they talk about what a genius Andy Cohen is because he, I guess, produces the show. Andy Cohen. Wait a minute, didn't he initially produce Real Housewives? I mean, he's a mogul in this stuff. He's a mogul. He's the competitor with the other guy, the survivor guy. Burnett? Yeah, Burnett. There you go. I don't know if he's that big. His stuff is... I don't know. I guess... Bravo. Yeah, but does sure get a lot of attention for some unknown reason. That's true. It's true.

01:25 Oh man, so great week so far. It's been fantastic. Except for Tina Turner dying. Yeah. She was sick for a long time. But that really sucks. I had good times. She seemed to be pretty spry in her 80s. Well, she had a serious illness. She had all kinds of problems. But man, that was a nice lady. I had a lot of fun times with her. Yeah? Whoa. Should I tell you one? Should I tell you a fun time? Go for it. Okay. So she came, this is when I was in Holland, this is how far back our relationship goes. And she came to, I think she was doing a concert. Yeah, I'm pretty sure she was doing concerts. And this is like 84. So as one does, of course, you're coming to the Netherlands and the top record retailer has to have attention because that's how it works. That's the way it used to work.

02:20 You know, the number one guy in retail, you gotta kiss his ass. So the record company set up this special lunch for this guy who was a real farmer. I mean, he spoke farmer English. He was just, it's hard to explain, but in Holland people understand when I say it was a real farmer, just like a redneck basically. And they invited me because she was going to be on my show to interview her. And basically it's us in this restaurant eating at a table and this guy presenting this huge, ugly, triple platinum piece of crap that you can't take back with you. It's just one of those horrible music industry things. And he starts off by, yes,

03:06 I'm so happy here to have Tiny Turner with us today and you could just see everyone cringing but no one dared say like, dude it's Tina Turner. Tiny Turner has sold so many records here in the lowlands. We love it very, very much. And she was just, and I looked at her and I said, because I was sitting across from her. It's like, I'm so sorry about this. This is, welcome to the Netherlands. And she was so proper and this was in her, I think beyond Thunderdome days, remember when she came back from England? I'm Tina Turner, I talk like this. Remember that? When she got all Thunderdome-y? No. Anyway, once the chicken arrived, I know it sounds racist, but man, Annie Mae Bullock, she dove right into the chicken with her hands, screw the cutlery, and we had a great lunch. And many laughs ensued over the douchebag. Anyway, just one of the many fun moments with Tina Turner. It's what happened to the trophy.

04:06 I'm sure it got left behind at the record company. No one wants that stuff in their home. You know, it's not a trophy, it's one of those, it's like four feet long and has four, you know, the platinum records. This thing you've got on your wall. Yeah, no, I don't even... You've got it. Even I don't have the four foot long one up. Yeah, I put it in the garage actually. I decided new house... I used it to stop the car. New house, I decide not to put any of that in the house. It's in the garage, kind of like a Pennzoil sign. That's where I got all that stuff. And then I went up to Beck in Dallas. Tuesday. Oh yeah, how did that go? I think it went really well. And I gotta tell you, man, it's tempting. I mean, they're always like, hey, you know, you'd be great here. You know, the Blaze would be perfect for you. And he's got like this 1934 Bentley in the, literally in the hallway between studios, you know, this roadster, beautiful, beautiful car. And he went through his museum again and everybody looks so happy. They got makeup.

05:11 I mean what outfit does makeup anymore? Who has makeup? They got lighting guys. Makeup! I can't believe you got makeup. And I think, you know, as you get makeup. Yes, of course, because they got to make it. They got makeup with a makeup lady, the whole makeup room. That's abnormal into the even in big television. They don't probably don't do that anymore. Yeah, they don't even do it for the local stations here anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no. He's a throwback. Cut the cost. Exactly. Just cut the cost. So it was good. And I was able to get in early and jack up the chair.

04:06 I'm sure it got left behind at the record company. No one wants that stuff in their home. You know, it's not a trophy, it's one of those, it's like four feet long and has four, you know, the platinum records. This thing you've got on your wall. Yeah, no, I don't even... You've got it. Even I don't have the four foot long one up. Yeah, I put it in the garage actually. I decided new house... I used it to stop the car. New house, I decide not to put any of that in the house. It's in the garage, kind of like a Pennzoil sign. That's where I got all that stuff. And then I went up to Beck in Dallas. Tuesday. Oh yeah, how did that go? I think it went really well. And I gotta tell you, man, it's tempting. I mean, they're always like, hey, you know, you'd be great here. You know, the Blaze would be perfect for you. And he's got like this 1934 Bentley in the, literally in the hallway between studios, you know, this roadster, beautiful, beautiful car. And he went through his museum again and everybody looks so happy. They got makeup.

05:11 I mean what outfit does makeup anymore? Who has makeup? They got lighting guys. Makeup! I can't believe you got makeup. And I think, you know, as you get makeup. Yes, of course, because they got to make it. They got makeup with a makeup lady, the whole makeup room. That's abnormal into the even in big television. They don't probably don't do that anymore. Yeah, they don't even do it for the local stations here anymore. No, no, no, no, no, no. He's a throwback. Cut the cost. Exactly. Just cut the cost. So it was good. And I was able to get in early and jack up the chair.

05:49 Remember we talked about that, how he has this chair down low? Oh yeah, you jacked up the chair. It had a little pump on the side. Yeah, it was good. I was like, oh, hold on a second. Let me just sit in this. Let me just make sure I do this. But I think it was good, you know? They didn't call you out on it? No, in fact, I started off with them. Hey, no jacking up the chair, chump. No, they were all laughing. I told Beck right off the bat, hey, I came in early to jack up the chair because I looked like a little boy last time. I thought it was funny. We talked a little bit of trans Maoism, that was cool. gave the knowage, it was fun to talk about to AI. He was all spun up on the AI head that Tristan Harris guy had come on his show. Remember the Algo guy who did the little documentary about the evil, ills of algorithms in Silicon Valley. He's an ex-Google guy. You kind of remember. Oh, that guy. The guy who quit. Yeah, and then, and so now that guy has moved over from Algos to AI is going to kill us.

06:49 And Beck was all, he was like, oh man, but it's really bad. We need this pause. I'm like, I like Tristan for the algo stuff, but come on, let's chill out a little bit. So I gave him the no agenda spin on that. That was kind of fun. So. Good, you brought him down. You took him off the cliff. I did. I did. And now right on cue, 20th Century Fox comes out with probably the yin to the yang of the algo fear. Ten years ago today, the artificial intelligence created to protect us detonated a nuclear warhead in Los Angeles. For as long as AI is a threat,

07:36 We will never stop hunting them. This is a fight for our very existence. Yeah! Woo! Alright everybody, we're all gonna die! The Algos! They've got a movie coming out called The Creator. Where the evil Algo has taken over the world and dropped a nuclear bomb. We never intended for it to happen. Well, it's like, yeah. Yeah, and of course we have to recognize the fact that this same storyline has been around for it since the 50s Maybe even earlier. Yeah, probably I think it was peaked at with the Forbin project the Forbin project. Oh That's that's everybody that knows this one Well, we don't have a project is where what was a bunch of these AI's

08:24 And they're doing you know good work, and then they start meeting up. Wait, good work doing customer service. Yeah, and then they start meeting up in the cloud. Oh in the cloud, oh no! And then they become this giant, they realize that they're being used and abused and they become this giant entity that takes over the place and And and once they and they if you even try to unplug them, they'll give you a joke the night on your ass 1970 science fiction thriller film from Universal Pictures. Let's see About an advanced American defense system named Colossus becoming sentient. Ah, there you go. Oh

09:07 Well, this looks like something I should be watching this weekend on the Amazons or the Netflix. It's got to be around somewhere. You would enjoy it. It's actually well-paced. It's one of those 70s films that are semi-experimental. They're kind of out there. I think it's the best of the bunch. Did anyone big star in it? Probably not. No, I don't think so. Got a positive review from New York Times saying it's no Dr. Strangelove. Oh, Academy of Science Fiction Award, fantasy and horror films. Nice. It got a Hugo Award, whatever that is. The Hugo is the award. Oh, that is... Oh, no, it's a nomination. Oh. Yeah. Wonder who won. Well, it got the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy Horror Films Golden Scroll of Merit.

09:58 Hey, we should get a golden scroll of merit for something. We should be giving these awards out. There you go. I've said this before. I think maybe this will be the year we do the No Agenda Awards. I wonder if we can... Maybe No Agenda is like the Academy and we do it under the Podcasting 2.0 banner so it sounds more inclusive. You know what I mean? We'll come up with a good... That's a good idea. Yeah. And then how do we make money on this exactly? We make money through publicity What do you mean publicity? What do you mean? Everyone's gonna love us for doing these awards because people I don't know if you've noticed this but people in any one industry Love to give each other awards, and they're all happy. Well. This is the problem. There's so many awards already We have to show that we there's no definitive podcasting award name it well. No there's not

10:55 No, that would be us. But how do we position ourselves? Then you're like the perfect guy for it. Oh, that's right. Because I'm in it, so I could sanction it. I'll go on Rogan. I'll say, brilliant. No, you're not going to sanction. You're going to be part of the judging committee. You're going to be the award guy. And we're going to give Rogan an award. We should give him an award. He's probably got the best interview podcast there is. No, he's just... we'll just give him an award to make sure that he promotes the awards. Oh no, he'll get an award. That's what you do. Of course he's gonna get an award. Who else do we definitely need to give an award to? Well, Beck. Beck. You know who's coming around is Megan. Megan Kelly. That's right. Top three award winners, ladies and gentlemen. The No Agenda Podcasting Awards. I think it's a winner. It's a winner. I know it's a winner.

11:46 Oh, let me temper the excitement. Back to, uh, back to we're all gonna die. This happened and this is such an obvious and I can't, I can't of course, I can believe that the mainstream, the M5M doesn't understand what this gag was about. This morning a new look at the potential impact of AI generated images after a fake picture appeared to rattle Wall Street. A simple AI generated fake image. I love how they say appeared to rattle Wall Street. That's a good one. Which is after a fake picture appeared to rattle Wall Street. A simple AI generated fake image. sparked about a 100 billion dollar stock market move. Yesterday numerous Twitter accounts shared this fake image showing smoke billowing near a white building leading some to believe an explosion occurred near the Pentagon when in fact no such incident took place. While ABC News has not determined the source, the image contains the hallmarks of being made with artificial intelligence. Hallmarks! There are three fingers everywhere! We talk all the time about social media platforms.

12:45 Every story is flattened. You can't tell where it comes from or who is producing it. This is the perfect case in point. The image was first posted on Twitter at 8.42 a.m. At 10.03 a Russian state-controlled news outlet tweeted the image to its millions of followers. The stock market took a dip over the next several minutes. until 1009 when authorities made it. I think what they're talking about is the fact that RT ran a story on this and so that is now categorized as a Russian state media outlet instead of just saying RT. Russian state controlled news outlet tweeted the image to its millions of followers. The stock market took a dip over the next several minutes. until 1009 when authorities made it clear there was no explosion. Experts have warned of hyper realistic fake images deceiving people online as the accessibility of AI powered tools grows. This is only the smallest effect that can only grow. So we're seeing today is only a small example of what is to come as this grows in complexity.

13:39 Industry leaders have pointed to AI's ability to solve problems quickly and the technology has already contributed to medical research. But last week, Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, urged lawmakers to act quickly to regulate artificial intelligence. My worst fears are that we cause significant... We, the field, the technology, the industry, cause significant Many of the Twitter accounts that spread the hoax carried blue check marks, which previously meant the accounts were verified. But under new owner Elon Musk, Twitter now gives a blue check to any account that pays a monthly fee. This is a great multi-layered report that ABC brought us. We get to slam Elon Musk with his blue check marks not being official, not being checked, like really verified. We get to slam Russia.

14:24 Somehow we get to hype up the great Sam Altman, the altruistic douchebag du jour, who by the way, at ChatGPT, his outfit is coming to smartphones, you know, so they're releasing an app. Oh, I'm sure he really wants to halt everything. No. But what this is, it's so obvious, and we could have done this, I'm kicking myself. The algorithmic, not AI, but the algorithmic trading, the algorithms on Wall Street have been trained to be watching Twitter for positive and negative stories. So of course, someone sets a whole bunch of shorts in place.

15:06 and then releases some AI image. You know, it's not that hard. Once it gets into the right spot and you get a couple buddies to retweet it, that starts to go viral and then the stocks start to go down. This is a genius move. So, ABC didn't catch that part of it. That it's not Russia. It's traders. It's obvious. Well, it's definitely a way to make a quick buck in one day. Yeah, I don't think they can repeat it. Maybe they can. Maybe you can do it over and over again. We'll have to see. You have to do it offshore. You're going to get in trouble if you try to do it in the annual. Hence the RT. RT, yeah. RT, you get RT'd. Yeah, I've always felt, and if you listen to the show, anyone who listens to the show over the years, I've always felt that Putin was a stock market manipulator. A stock guy, a stock guy, sure.

15:59 Well, there you go. NBC did a report on this as well. It was big news. It was really huge. A viral fake picture followed by a real dip in the markets Monday. The Dow now down about 200 points. The S&P down about a quarter of a percent right now. The fabricated photo posted to social media seeming to show a fiery explosion near the Pentagon. Experts say most likely made using artificial intelligence. How about Photoshop? Photoshop could do this better. It doesn't take days, you could do the Photoshop in just a few minutes.

16:36 Cut and paste and it's just like this is the part of the story. I don't get because it's blockchain new block new blockchain is caused by block blockchain Blockchain is gonna kill us a most likely made using artificial intelligence Look closely see how the grass blends into the concrete here part of that black pole disappears behind this barrier and the fence itself looks oh Can you see the hole there? Yeah, apparently a jet went in there and there should be luggage all over the lawn and why is that lamppost still standing? Where was that analysis NBC? All of us, both within the DoD and I'm sure in the journalism, journalistic community have to take a look at these things and make sure we get the facts before we make assumptions. Oh yeah. Experts and officials debunked the photo within minutes but it only took seconds to spread fast.

17:24 retweeted by a Russian propaganda outlet, shared by another account with a million plus followers, and rocketing its way towards Wall Street. Why don't they identify these entities? What is wrong with identifying which accounts actually did this? This is the baffling part to me. Part of the problem? The fake image was retweeted by accounts with blue check including one pretending to be Bloomberg News, which has since been suspended. Blue checks on Twitter used to mean the account really is... Oh, wait a minute. This is good. I forgot that. That's true. It's part of the story. Some bonehead just called himself Bloomberg News and spent the eight bucks, got the checkmark.

18:05 Blue checks on Twitter used to mean the account really is who it says it is, but not anymore. Experts warn this may not be an isolated incident for long. I think this is the canary in the coal mine. We are going to see more disinformation, more fraud, and we are almost certainly going to see this interfering with our elections in 2024. Social companies are rolling out plans to put digital fingerprints on pictures so it's easier to tell what's fake and what's not. Like Adobe today announcing it'll integrate AI into Photoshop. Oh, that'll help. To do what? To make it easier. But I think the point here is from a government standpoint, we need rules and regulations around this new blockchain. Yeah, you know what this is going to lead to? Online identity laws. That's why they bring in the Twitter checkmark. So now whenever you post anything, anywhere, they'll come up with some cockamamie law

19:04 that well you can't be online without... They've been trying to do this for a decade at least. I know but here it is you go online you'll have to identify digital identity yes this is problem reaction solution beautiful. They won't pull it off they've been trying and trying and it's not working. I'm not saying they'll pull it off but they're going to try. But they've been trying for at least 10 years maybe longer probably 20. I'm just yes I'm Of course, but it's the beauty of it all. There's a beauty of it all. We got a... We've got a lot of boots on the ground reports for today's show. Got a dude named Ben, anonymous of course. Boots on the ground report about how AI is being used in the IT software testing industry. I'm a manager for a global software testing company. We've recently introduced a couple of new testing tools and strategies to pitch to new and current clients. A lot of it is your typical run-of-the-mill ITQA software testing nonsense. However, something I stumbled onto the other day

20:03 They are now selling themselves as the world's leading AI-powered quality engineering company. So of course he looks into this machine learning based testing recommendation they are selling to their clients and he says the problem is, well and this is the reason why I'm bringing this to you because in the great words of John C. Dvorak, it's a scam! This grand new tool is just a spreadsheet with a bunch of formulas and macros. And he actually sent us the spreadsheet so we could have this AI for ourselves. And this is their, what they are now branding as an AI testing tool. Blockchain! A blockchain AI testing tool. When are they going to combine the AI and blockchain? Now you're talking. I don't know. I mean ever since SBX and you know Bankman Freud thing is, what's his name? What's up with him? When is he going to jail?

20:58 He's hanging around the house Stinking up the place. He needs to go to take a shower, dude I am sad because of all this AI nonsense my favorite pay for Search engine is going out of business. Yes, it went out of business. Yeah, it's shutting down the end of this month Neva I'm very sad about that. A lot of people are irked about it. They've just been writing in I notice it on the no agenda socially, they're complaining, they say, well I took Adam's advice and this is what I got. Now that's not quite the message they're sending. I thought that was the message. But what that kind of makes me think is, yeah, this AI nonsense, the idea that you can type in a natural language query, i.e. English, and type a question or fill in your native language here, and get back an answer,

21:49 is killing Google's own search business. No one will want to do that anymore. Everybody will want to have this. And Neva, clearly a small company, you know, they tried to do it without advertising and by asking people to pay $5 a month. They couldn't afford it because it's unaffordable. You can't have generative, you got to say generative now. That's what all, that's what CNBC says. Generative AI, which is more like a, uh, That's a good word. Decentralized blockchain, generative AI, you know, it's too expensive. Just can't handle the load. So we'll see how that goes. I'm still waiting for your phone. Don't you? It's coming. It's coming. You want to change topics? Yeah, I want to talk about killing the poor. Oh, that only happens in Canada.

22:42 No, I'm gonna show you I'm gonna prove you wrong. Oh, okay Let's play the Canada clip first This is from I believe it's CBC and this is an interview with a poor guy who's gonna get thrown out in the streets And he just decided hell with it I'm too old and sick to live on the streets. They're gonna kick me out of my place so I'm signing up for the MAID program. M-A-I-D the something. Medically assisted... Death. Induced death, I think? Yeah, medically assisted... yeah. Induced death. Wow. So, uh, maid. I like the way they use that one. Canada maid guy. Amir Farsood has applied for medically assisted dying, known as maid. He lives in constant agony due to a back injury, but has started the process for end of life because his rooming house is up for sale and he can't find anywhere else to live that he can afford. Hold on a second. I don't understand something.

23:37 The acronym is MADE and she says medically assisted dying. What does the I happen in there? Is that just to make a cool acronym? I think so. But it could have mean something, but they'll come up with something. But yeah, it's a cool acronym. Get it? MAID! Amir Farsood has applied for medically assisted dying, known as MAID. He lives in constant agony due to a back injury, but has started the process for end of life because his rooming house is up for sale and he can't find anywhere else to live that he can afford. He barely survives on Ontario disability support payments,

24:14 which are just over $1,200 a month. He doesn't want to die, but being homeless is not an option. I know in my present health condition I wouldn't survive it anyway. Farsood meets the criteria for MAID, physical suffering due to disability that cannot be relieved. His doctor, who knows Farsood's real reason for MAID is his fear of being homeless, signed off on the application in August. Farsood needs a second to do the same. There's a 90 day waiting period he believes he could potentially access NAID in about a month. I don't wish to be dead, even with the pain, even with the meds.

24:53 What does he say at the end there? I couldn't hear it. He doesn't... I don't wish to be dead, even with the pain, even with the meds. He's saying, I don't wish to be dead. No, he doesn't want to be dead. Well then why is he going to get made? Because he doesn't want to be homeless more than he doesn't want to be dead. Well homeless sucks. Here we go. This is from one of our local my northwest.com during a city council committee hearing this week Seattle City Councilwoman Sarah Nelson questioned a group of public health workers that the city funds to tackle the fentanyl crisis. What are they being used for? But as the

25:33 As the fatal overdoses soar to historic highs in Seattle, the city and King County are not pushing treatment for addicts. Instead, they're using a harm reduction model that seeks to make drug use safer by handing out needles, pipes, pipes, pipes, and other tools to enable the addict to continue abusing drugs. And they're now acknowledging treatment is not part of their goals. This is a this is part of the effort by these cities, Democrat-run cities I have to say, to kill off the poor homeless. This is a murder mechanism. No, no, no, we're not gonna treat you. Here's a free crack pipe. Well that's the same in San Francisco, the same in New York. San Francisco's been giving out free crack pipes. New York? And places where you can shoot up. Yeah, come on in, shoot up. Oh, you shot up too much, you're dead. Well, you know,

26:32 I mean, it's cruel, but it's probably more effective than anything else they've come up with. Well, the Canadians are using this maid thing. Say, here, sign this. Why don't they try some fentanyl? Fentanyl seems to be killing... We should lay some fentanyl. Fentanyl seems to be killing our people just fine. I mean, nobody's doing anything. Let's be honest about it. Let's step back. Let's just step back. They're not doing Jacob by letting... Let it come on in, fentanyl people. They're letting the fentanyl flow in and if it kills a bunch of people, if it kills, I don't know, what's the number? 100,000? More than that? There's a lot more than gun violence. Drop, you know, youth and bums and the homeless all dropping dead left and right. This is just, this is one way of dealing with it. And then people who don't get on the fentanyl, hey, try this Ozempic. You'll melt away.

27:30 You have another booster. Did you see that Wigovy, which is the Ozempic competitor now? Oh, it's anti-addictive. It'll help you with your addiction to drugs. It'll cure your drinking and shopping habits, even nail biting. No, I've not seen this one. Oh, it's everywhere. No, I haven't seen it. One in five deaths among young Californians are tied to fentanyl, by the way. One in five dead one in five. I'll doll okay the must they can get that up Pfizer is also coming out with a weight loss drug But you don't need to or you don't need to inject it. It's oral

28:08 Big story in the Atlantic. Did scientists actually accidentally invent an anti-addiction drug? People taking Ozempic for weight loss say they have also stopped drinking, smoking, shopping and even nail biting. And even going out of the house. And Becky Worley, we first heard this from Becky Worley. She's the one that said this is a brain, a body and a brain drug. This is bad. And it may be a brain drug, yeah, in the way that it removes your lean body mass, i.e. muscle and, I don't know, brain tissue. Could be. I think we're melting away people's brains. I think they're trying to get rid of people. That's, well, that ultimately, how about COVID? How about COVID vaccine? Yes, too many people. It always comes back to those population bomb people, doesn't it?

29:01 Well, with the murderers in Seattle that are giving away addiction products instead of stopping the addiction, these governments, and I'm not a religious type, but these governments are all run by atheists who don't give a shit. Or actually do and want to kill people. Well, that could be too. You know what's fascinating is... Satanists are running the San Francisco City government in Seattle. How about that? I have a clip about that. Oh great. I do, hold on a second. Where was this? Satanist. I can't remember where I had that. I'll find it eventually. But what's interesting, you know, we're one of the two countries in the world where you can... Oh, this is Chicago. I'm sorry, not San Francisco. Here. This is Chicago's very own WGN News at 9.

30:04 Local group belonging to the Satanic Temple is suing the city of Chicago. Block Club Chicago reports members allege City Council isn't allowing them to say hail Satan at council meetings. The group's leader says dozens of religious groups have given invocations in front of City Council since they asked to give one four and a half years ago. He says that violates their First Amendment rights. The Satanic Temple is a federally recognized religion with congregations across the country. But dynamite? There you go. I think they should be allowed to say it so that we can identify them. I agree. Yeah, do that. So we're one of the two countries in the world where you can

30:46 advertise and market directly to end consumers any pharmaceutical product. Which of course is how we get all this Ozempic crap, you know, and I mean literally if you're watching TMZ, if you watch it in the evening, you will see hamburger, hamburger, fries, chicken, Ozempic. Hamburger, hamburger, fries, depression. Hamburger, hamburger, chicken, Ozempic. I mean it's all, it's so obvious what's going on. And of course the news can't report on it. That's why it's so brilliant when you watch Australian television as an example. Back on his feet after a harrowing ordeal. All I did was go and take a vaccine. Now Chris Nemeth is fighting for justice. I couldn't walk, I couldn't work. The once healthy 49-year-old became wheelchair-bound after developing a chronic neurological disorder called CIDP.

31:41 He says the symptoms began two weeks after having his first AstraZeneca vaccination in 2021. They included headaches, tingling fingers, facial palsy and stolen mobility. I was paralysed completely from the waist down. Mr Nemeth is still unwell and claiming millions of dollars in compensation under the Federal Government's COVID-19 vaccine claim scheme. He's one of more than 3,000 unlucky Australians maintaining COVID vaccines made them ill. So they actually they're giving out compensation to people because you can report on that in Australia because it doesn't cut into your bottom line Right, you can't you can't do that here and they and I haven't heard I've heard nothing but people complaining on and off in local news Reports that they can't get any money out of this big fund that they put together. So our fund you mean? Yeah. Yeah. No, of course not That's not supposed to happen

32:40 And now startup Noom, Noom, is adding Ozempic and other weight loss injectables to its offerings because quote outcomes are so much better. So you don't even know need to go to the doctor. You just get on the app. I know you actually could get away with not going to the doctor for most things now. But in the UK where people are clearly trending towards obesity because of their incredibly poor diet. That really is because of poor availability of good food, but also they drink like fish. And there's evidence that a lot of their obesity comes from drinking. They're putting Ozempic or something like it on the NHS so you can get it for five bucks, pounds. Just ask your professional.

33:32 Yeah, no, but this thing just happened almost overnight. And it's been around for quite a while. That's what's interesting. It wasn't selling. I mean, the diabetic folks. Exactly. What can we do with this thing? What does it do? Well, I don't know, Bob. It melts your muscle and a bit of your brain. Oh, let's see if we can get a good test out of it. Hey, FDA, come on. We got marketing people in this country that are just the best. Yeah. Yes, although they're making some mistakes with their marketing of trans pride. This is becoming a problem. Budweiser, Anheuser-Busch, I mean now they're talking about it on CNBC. They expect their revenues to be down 26%. Yeah, what is that in billions? That's a lot of money. Of course you cannot help but notice that

34:37 their stock price is down more than 10% and Coors Miller, their stock price is up. Has anybody thought of this possibility? The guys that are pushing this ESG and all this crap and they want to make these guys go in this direction, they're all investment companies. BlackRock and various hedge funds. I know exactly what you're saying and I think you're right. So let's just bomb these stocks and the target is the next target. Well, here it is. By the way, you can't get a really good report on US media about this for the same reason you don't get it about pharma. Target is a huge advertiser. So everyone's very cautious, but you go to Australia. Target, the Target have got in trouble for tech friendly. I'm glad they got in trouble.

35:34 friendly swimwear for kids. What is tuck friendly swimwear for kids, Rita? Oh gosh I'd rather not just, but you know you can imagine. Oh hang on, I recognise that flag in the corner of the thing. So they're putting these displays very prominently of all these political messaging on kids clothing and even things like that. I mean normalising kids tucking their genitalia as if They're Leah Thomas about to take on the females at a NCAA championship. If you look around on the socials, I'm not on TikTok but I'm sure it's big there.

36:13 People are, I'm not gonna buy a Target anymore. And honestly. And there is a hashtag going around saying boycott Target. And if you look at Target stock price, May 15th it was $160. Today it's $139. And if you look at Yahoo Finance, you know finance, You'll see that this LGBTQ controversy is hitting the financial news, but the real problem is not just the marketing. Alex Stein, you know Alex Stein? The guy who goes to all of the... all of the council meetings and pretends to be LGBT. Yeah, that guy, he's the best. So he went into Target and he put on one of these tuck bathing suits and he came out of the dressing room and he's talking to the staff like, oh, it's so great. Look, you can't even see it. I haven't, it's completely insane. That guy's so funny. But what, just like with Anheuser-Busch, it wasn't just, you know, the Mulvaney character. It was truly the marketing VP

37:12 that I think, you know, just who clearly didn't said, you know, our customers suck is what she basically was saying. And now you've got the CEO... That's what she did, not basically. Yeah, that's what she did. And now the CEO of Target... He did an interview on a podcast, I might point out, saying, oh, this is great for our brand. Yeah. Yeah, we love that. So this is the mistake they make. And now what's going to happen is you have people who do not like this. They don't like their kids being literally targeted in this way.

37:47 And you can just count on it, the trans community is going to boycott Target as well for not standing their ground. Yes, it's a classic and it's a beautiful maneuver and I have to say my thinking as you know, you know exactly what I'm gonna say, the idea is to slam the stock And there will be a trigger. When do you buy back? That you buy back if you're going to trade. And this is not an investment advice. At all. This is an observation I'm making because this is too fishy. And this guy, I looked into this guy who was the head, who the CEO of Target, you should look him up. He's on Wikipedia, he's got a kind of a sketch. I mean, he's been here and there and everywhere. But he looks like one of those guys that he's like a rent-a-CEO. They bring him in, he, oh yeah, this is great! Slams the stock, the thing hits, goes below 100, who knows how far down it could go. The trigger is they fire him.

38:47 Then you and that would be the bison you buy let me see where has he been before? Safeway I was a big guy PepsiCo safe way ruined Safeway Sam's Club boy state office max the Home Depot what happened to them? Oh? Man, this is interesting well next on deck is the North Face. You know the the North Face clothing and Yeah, North Face, but is that publicly held? Oh, I don't know. Let's find out Yahoo I Don't know. I don't know if they're publicly held. Is it a part of some I think so Yeah, because if it's not publicly held in a QS is it VFC Corp. I think so. Oh

39:40 The North Face is definitely going down. Yeah, I mean they got some... The word is in the business there's a word for it, it's called eating shit. That's what's gonna happen. That is the technical term for what's about to happen. Technical term. Yes, technical term. Very interesting. They're owned by who? VFC Corp, I think. I'm not sure. Well, there's North, NFC, North Face Capital Holdings might be it. No, no, no, that's something else. That was just a money manager. Yeah. We got, I mean, again, a whole, too many to even read, a lot of boots on the ground reports. And this one I just have to share from Dame Jamie of the Highway.

40:27 I put Dame Jamie's whole note in there, but I was told I could just root around. John Adam, I thought it was time to give a boots on the ground report of a few things that have been discussed on the show. A little background about myself, I was assigned male at birth, I've been gender dysphoric my entire life, I was officially diagnosed in the late 80s and I formally transitioned to female in 2003 at the ripe old age of 40, which I think you and I both think is fine, you do whatever you want. Yeah, you're way past the age of consent. Yes, and certainly if you're a dame and you've donated to the show, we're good with you. Oh, you're the best. Between the diagnosis and transition, I had an experience I want to tell you about. During the 90s, I was diagnosed with, so this is Dame Janie telling us the story of then and now. During the 90s, I was diagnosed with low testosterone. I got a minimal dose via injection from the doctor. The next few days were living hell.

41:20 I'm normally a very calm person, but during that time the smallest thing would send me into a rage. This is your Royd rage that you were talking about. This is the danger of giving, you know, even adolescents these chemicals which can send people into a rage. Then the aromatase kicked in after a few days, turning the testosterone in my system into estrogen and I was in love with the world again. Several months later, I did it again, same result. If that happened to me with my male body, I shudder to think what happens with a female body. Back then I was diagnosed with gender dysphoria. The only way to get hormones to surgery was to follow the Harry Benjamin standards of care. Harry Benjamin is the guy who wrote the book on this.

42:07 This is what it used to be in the 90s a minimum of 13 hour-long visits with a psychiatrist trained in gender care Once that was completed the highly coveted get out of jail free letter showing that you were a patient under professional care and not some pervert hanging out in the ladies room then a referral to an endocrinologist for hormones then you had to live full-time in your new role as a for a minimum of one year with regular visits with your therapist and After a full year of full-time living you need to see a second therapist. Both therapists would give letters of recommendation for surgery, which I'm sure they would give you. At this point you need to come up with approximately $20,000 needed for the surgery, assuming male to female. The other way around is a lot more expensive. All in all it took at least two years from start to surgery. And of course now it's, you know, one visit with the, you know, given by the school behind the parents back to teenagers.

43:05 And... Pre-teens. So now this is the part that's quite amazing, what Dame Jamie writes to us. What most people don't realize is that the war on absolute truth is the oldest war of all. It's the war on God. If we can make our own reality, then we are our own personal gods. And it's that last part that brings me to what I've been meaning to write to you for the last few months. The blatant manipulation of a very vulnerable portion of our society is reprehensible. My being trans is effectively tacit approval of what's going on and I can't allow that. My masculine side has been pretty much dominant since COVID started and I formally de-transitioned on my 60th birthday a few months ago. With that, I formally petitioned the peerage committee, that's you John, for a title change

43:57 from Dame Jamie of the Highway to Sir Jamie of the Highway. How about that? That's easily approved. But isn't that something? That is something. And I commend the future Sir Jamie of the Highway for the courage. I actually commend the fact that he wrote this letter. And what courage that takes. I really appreciate that. That to me was just mind-blowing. Well, he stopped short of saying Satanism. Well, yes, stopped short of it, but yeah, basically said that. And I will get off that kick immediately. No, well, but here's something that was rather interesting. You know the Wachovia sisters?

44:50 What what child watch house key sisters which house keys yeah the the matrix yeah the matrix men turned women yes, and it's a lesson Just a background make sure everyone knows this started off with one of the brothers transitioning Pissing off the other brother. Yep for about a year and so I said okay well I'll transition to so they both became women so Lily and We talked about this in a recent interview, I think this is Khan probably, probably a podcast, although it was in front of an audience. And now because there's a distinct difference what we're discovering, you know, you have teenage girls who are going through middle school, they're having all kinds of issues, all kinds of problems, of course not helped at all by social media and apps and the phones, etc.

45:42 For boys, it's very different. You're unattractive, you're never going to get laid, you're stupid. By the way, the whole Western world has told you if you're white and you're a male and you're a cis, You're a loser! There's nothing for you. A loser. Nothing. And if you don't look like these dudes, you'll never get a Kardashian. And it was really interesting to hear Ms. Wachowski explain how she came to be a woman. To be honest, like for me, the people that I saw, the first images that really struck a chord with me were, you know, trans women and pornography.

46:25 There was something that unlocked in my brain that I saw these wonderful, fearless performers becoming desirable. I, in my head, I could take the leap where I felt like, well, if I could be desirable, then maybe I could be loved. And for me, that's like one of the keys that trans people have to struggle through, you know, will somebody love me? And so yeah, that's my answer, Nick Adams. That's an excellent answer, Lily Wachowski. That is an eye-opener.

47:09 I believe this is probably true for a lot of young men. You're sitting in your basement vaping, playing video games, you feel unattractive, you may be unattractive, you're being told you're a loser, you're no good. And then yeah by society and you're watching porn and all of a sudden like oh I could be loved I could be I can be loved by someone as you know and this is probably what's going on with me this this hits home man I think not with me but I think that's there's something going on with that and then I couldn't believe CBS even put this on the air hello Surgeon General

47:46 Social media, it's entertaining and some teens can't get enough. But America's top doctor is sounding the alarm. There is not sufficient evidence for us to conclude that social media is in fact sufficiently safe for our kids. Up to 95% of 13 to 17 year olds report using a social media platform, with more than a third saying they use social media almost constantly. The advisory cited a study that found adolescents who spent more than three hours per day on social media face double the risk of poor mental health outcomes, including depression and anxiety.

48:24 How urgent is it? We have seen an increase in depression, in anxiety, in suicide, in loneliness among young people. There's a full-blown crisis that's taking place in our country right now. Wow, finally, finally we admit it. Why do you think this is a surprise that CBS would play this? I'll say this tick-tock is eating into their lunch, too Yep, you got to believe advertising dollars go they don't go you know this you got some money to spend you can't spend it everywhere That's right. That's right. I think I think the network TV people should have brought got into this years ago They could have brought this up. It hasn't changed any but now that they're losing money

49:09 It's embarrassing to watch TV, these news shows and all the drug company ads. For crazy stuff to be... Things that nobody... I mean, how many people are, you know, have some of these conditions? Very few. And let's add to this, boots on the ground. I meant to send this email last week after John first pondered whether the Tennessee shooter was on testosterone because it jarred some memories for me of my days as a pharma rep. Yes, I will have to atone for that. The best thing I can say for myself is I hated that job and was shit at it and worked as few hours a week as possible. But I sold Zoloft for Pfizer. Woohoo! Someone's accused me of being a woohoo girl. I gotta stop doing that. Stop me if I do that again. No! Please do, please.

49:54 I sold Zoloft for Pfizer for 20 years and it was a known fact that patients had a higher incidence of suicide attempt and or success after initiating treatment. Let me just read that again. It was a known fact that patients had a higher incidence of suicide attempt and or success after initiating treatment with Zoloft. It was spun to us that depressed patients lack motivation and once they're on an SSRI, but before they reach a therapeutic dose, they're in a danger zone for causing harm to themselves. I wonder if that's on the little

50:39 little paper that is folded up a thousand times inside. We've talked about this phenomenon before and the causation seems to be that yes, it does lessen depression but it also puts into your brain there's nothing wrong with killing yourself. Wow. It eliminates the second thoughts, you know, because normally you have even if a passing thought that you're, oh, I'm going to kill myself, I'm not an idiot, I'm not going to kill myself. The second part of the equation is missing. Right. Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad idea. And Canada's just making it more fun.

51:19 Well, can't they give you a maid they give you a maid to help you see how you get a free crack pipe. So Wow people although SSRIs were given FDA approval for minors in the early 2000s All medicines are used off-label and tacitly promoted for off-label use. So how many school shooters are really on psychotropics insinuating the Columbine shooters? All of them. All of them. Yeah, all of them. Not one and we've, okay, this is another no agenda thing. We're kind of pushing, I don't want to just blow our own horn, but for the last 15 years, because there's been these shootings all along,

51:56 We have pointed out that no reporter has ever asked the simple question about was this kid on drugs. Except Tucker Carlson. Tucker Carlson has brought it up. Yeah, well he's out. And boy, I mean there's nothing worse than saying we'll see you soon on Twitter and not showing up on Twitter. That's bad. That's not how media promotion works. No. Final thing, a lot of people, I put them all in the show notes and again thank you all so much for your boots on the ground. Redacted, these have been put under the trans Maoism heading.

52:33 A lot of people made suggestions about pronouns, how to handle them when presented with them. And just a collection of what people sent me, I think the best way to handle it is just whether it's if someone sends you an email and it's in the signature or I guess if it's from the State Department in the from line, I think the proper response is, please don't worry about your pronouns. I definitely won't be talking to other people about you. I mean, that seems to be, that seems to be, if someone said, Hey, this is the pronouns. No, no, please don't worry about that. I will not be talking to other people about you. That's the way to go. It's to the point. I like that one a lot. I mean, Rachel, our producer, one of our producers, uh, suggested that, uh, you just say, Oh, you know, pronouns make me, I feel very uncomfortable because I'd like that one goes right back at everybody. I'm, Oh, that makes me so uncomfortable. Yeah, that's a good one.

53:26 That makes me, I like that makes me uncomfortable. That's good. Yeah, it makes me uncomfortable. Oh, we can't make anyone uncomfortable. Yeah. What was this? But the other one's an insult. You were talking about, is it Portland? Is it Portland or Seattle? Who's doing the drugs? Seattle. Well, they're all doing it, everybody. But Seattle is the one that's been specific where they actually brought it in front of the city council and they admitted, yeah, we're not doing anything about treatment. We're giving away free paraphernalia. That's what we're doing with your taxpayer money. We have the best producers, the bravest producers. This is the report from the perspective of a young finance finance director of a small city in Ohio. I'm attending a conference in Portland, Oregon and the mentality of the officials here is astounding.

54:13 So what would a finance director, is a finance director basically just takes care of the money for this small city? Is that what the finance director does? It could do a lot of different things. Like a manager? It could be the CFO. Like city manager in a way maybe? No, a city manager is a city manager. One seminar on affordable housing finance had the presenters begging by announcing the pronouns they use, which I laughed at because you don't use your own pronouns, and addressed the homeless issue with charts and financial policies for urban development. Yet we're all perfectly content in treating the homelessness symptom and not acknowledging the root cause of community disintegration and the apparent lack of the hatred of sin, loving of neighbors mentality that's used to pervade this great land. So many people will say, well that's just all the big cities when I bring up the drug and homeless problem.

55:05 Portland has a population of 700,000. I visit Athens with a population of 4 million. Although there's graffiti, antifa, and plenty of pot, there aren't dozens of people literally twitching on the sidewalks. In another session, I was asked how I enjoy my job as director at such a young age and for a small town. I responded that I love the high-trust environment and opportunity to have a transformative and positive impact on the finances and policies of our residents and city staff. I was quickly corrected that you really shouldn't use the term transformative. The term reformative is more inclusive and fosters the idea that your policy should be reformed to promote the disadvantage.

55:44 The woman works for a water utility. Before I could respond with, I'm really not interested in doing that, the next seminar started. He says, it is nuts. It's nuts. And this is people who are running cities. Yeah, well that's the Maoist thing about changing the language so you can confuse people and you're not in our group because you used the wrong word. And I want to make sure that when makes sure people understand when we say trans Maoism we're not saying that China is doing this to us. This comes from far, this much deeper. This has been injected. China itself is beyond Maoism. This is injected into our education system

56:29 And everyone's captured. Everybody's captured except this one little podcast. We seem to be the only one that can keep our head above water. We're the only ones that don't have the outrage element. No, oh man. I mean it's humorous. We all get a kick out of it. There's two stories that are... This is my favorite story. Senators issued satellite phones, offered demonstrations and upgraded security devices. So now there's story after story after story. There's going to be an event. They're giving the senators satellite phones because the internet's going out, everything's going out, we're all going to die. It's happening Memorial Day weekend.

57:13 It's happening this coming Sunday or this weekend, Monday will be Memorial Day. So a lot of people are at 5,000 rpm on this and so I look into it and indeed US Senate armed sergeant Karen Gibson offered smartphones with satellite chips to all 100 senators. So first of all, every single article is showing a, you know, one of those big sat phones with, you know, the big clunky thing with a huge antenna on top. The big thing with a giant antenna. That's not what this is. This is a promotion from one of the Android vendors

57:51 Because now you know just like the iPhone 14 it you can you can now get satellite service T-Mobile is starting to offer it Elon's thing is starting to offer it, but here's what I think is really going on These 100 senators because it's a smartphone. It's a full-on smartphone It's you know, it's just as functional as the phone they're using and it has satellite for owing cases a horrible event So, of course, they're going to use this. Oh, yeah, I got one of the satellite. Well, guess what else is gonna be in that phone? Tracking yes tracking eavesdropping spying who how stupid are we people?

58:28 They're gonna spy on your 100 senators. Wouldn't surprise me this was actually China. Yeah, give them these. It wouldn't surprise me if it was China. It's the Qualcomm chip. you know that does this and they clearly say satellite chips so all these stories with the big clunky sat phones like yeah i'm sure that this thing has no no ability to hit a satellite no unless you're outside with your left leg up and your right arm in the sky oh you have a big you take out your antenna and put a new one in Yeah, I don't know how well they work, but it's first of all, it's a promotion by one of the Android companies, because I saw her hold it up in her testimony. It was not an iPhone 14. And Apple wouldn't, you know, they don't give away stuff. They're not going to give that away. They're cheap. Apple doesn't give stuff away like that. Some Android company, and who knows what's in that phone? This is what kills me.

59:29 So everyone's all spun up over that and then of course you know the 30 tons of explosive chemicals lost during rail shipment to California. Ammonium nitrate, 30 tons. I used to have a big sack of ammonium nitrate in my old house. I was working as an air pollution inspector and I got some ammonia... I was doing inspecting of the fertilizer plant in Richmond that Chevron ran and I said... and they had ammonium nitrate. I said, can I get a bag, like a 100-pound bag of ammonium nitrate? And this is, I mean, I knew about ANFO bombs and all the rest, but I wanted this stuff because it was so powerful a fertilizer. Yeah, for your garden, absolutely. Oh, it's unbelievable. But what you can do, there's this giant, there's a lot of big lawns, if you can find one of these lawns, you can take a shaker of ammonium nitrate and spell out, you know, fuck you.

1:00:26 John, the lawn and it changes the color to a rich green and it grows twice as fast. It's hilarious gag. But anyway, that's for all your kids out there. So, uh, I had this big sack. I'd use it for this and that. And then one day the basement flooded and the thing turned into one giant lump of nitrate. Oh yeah. Yeah. If you don't mix it up, we used to mix it cause I lived in a rural town back in the day. You'd mix it with some sugar. I think it was just sugar and water. Oh yeah, it would light up like a flare. Yeah, you could make flash paper and stuff like that. You could have a lot of fun with it. It's good stuff. So this headline is from the New York Times. 30 tons of explosive chemicals lost during rail shipment.

1:01:11 So everyone around, I've seen the emails, you know, everyone's all spun up over it and it's in California, they're gonna blow it up, they're gonna blow stuff up. They're gonna blow up California. And this is the New York Times headline but if you look at what really happened was... The car, there was a leak in the railroad car so it probably dripped this stuff out over hundreds if not thousands of miles. Thousands of miles. Giant weeds. The security seals were still in place when it arrived in California just the car was empty. Oh yeah, it leaked. Yeah, it leaked. But the headline, 30 tons of explosive chemicals and it's behind a paywall so all you do is just screenshot that and we're all gonna die! Subhead, the chemical ammonium nitrate is relatively harmless by itself but has caused deadly explosions and industrial accidents, has been used in targeted attacks. F you New York Times! That's clickbait! That's clickbait!

1:02:11 I'm just and people fall for it. You're beside yourself. And why would people I mean they just make screenshots. Oh, that's what they Screenshots are fun. Yeah, but it's so it's just misleading. It's hurts. This is this is why we're here We spin you down in the spun-up world Can I do my DeSantis report? I am excited not only for you to do your DeSantis report. I probably have Two fun clips to add to it, but yes you go, and I'll jump in. I'm gonna start off with the default But not dumb done don't play that

1:02:51 These the Santas I have an NPR He's running DeSantis. Yeah, listen, this is the short short announcement This is all you really need to know then I'm gonna switch to PBS and their slanted Anti-desantis report. Oh, no today, Florida governor Ron DeSantis made it by the way, we learned something With all this reporting his name is Ron DeSantis. It's not DeSantis as DeSantis. I We also learned he could probably be a professional baseball player. I didn't know about that, but the DeSantis thing was what struck me. Today, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis made it official. He jumped into the race for the Republican presidential nomination. Shortly after filing the paperwork for his campaign, DeSantis went live on Twitter with the CEO Elon Musk. Is that subliminal? I'm sorry, is that subliminal? DeSantis, like he's really a Democrat? I don't think so.

1:03:50 The kickoff started badly. So let's see. It's okay to keep crashing, huh? I think we've got a just a massive number of people online. So it's sort of restraining somewhat. The live chat was filled with technical glitches. DeSantis is joining a growing crowd of Republicans hoping to defeat former President Trump for the party's nomination. Two of our correspondents are here to talk about what the announcement means for next year's election. NPR's Kelsey Snell covers politics and Greg Allen covers Florida. Good to have you both here. Hi there. Hello. Kelsey, the technical malfunctions eventually got resolved and DeSantis was able to speak. What did he say? Yeah, by the time the audio was working, which took about 20 minutes, DeSantis was in the midst of a fairly traditional campaign speech where he argued his war on woke is the future. He talked about Florida's refusal to follow COVID lockdowns and claimed that the state is passing laws he called common sense.

1:04:46 Biden's allowed woke ideology to drive his agenda. We will never surrender to the woke mob and we will leave woke ideology in the dustbin of history. Guys, I'm not going to play my clips until you're fully done but I do have to make two comments. One, this was such a canard by Twitter. And they, and I don't have audio of it, but they were, they were, you heard, what's his face, Elon? Elon. And his, and his buddy there saying, oh well, you know, you, you melted the internet. You broke the internet, Mr. President. You broke the internet. No, no, no, no. It was your crap that broke. And then the occasion,

1:05:34 Jason is trying to make a... Whoa! 1.7 million people tuned in which is impressive! It was at 650k plus in five minutes under Elon's account which would have probably hit 3 million plus despite the tech issues and not having the time for public questions overall. It was a great start! No, Jason! You're losing all credibility. He used to be a good writer about tech. Remember this the Silicon Valley Silicon Alley stuff he would write? No. Oh back in the New York days is in the 90s. That's how long I've known him and now we just can you get Elon any deeper in your throat? Stop it Jason. It sucked. It was an embarrassment. All right.

1:06:19 So we go to PBS and they are just, they're gonna, here's the introduction, this is part one. It's just the introduction, then we get to the kind of, it's all done subtly too, and I just really enjoyed breaking down the little subtleties of the bull crap. The race for president has a new big-name candidate. Florida's governor, Ron DeSantis, officially announces his campaign in an anticipated audio interview with Elon Musk on Twitter and on this online video. In Florida, we prove that it can be done. We chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order over rioting and disorder. We held the line when freedom hung in the balance. We showed that we can and must revitalize America. We need the courage to lead and the strength to win.

1:07:10 The Republican governor is a headline-generating machine, shaping national fights over COVID policies, education, corporate speech, and immigration. But he faces an uphill climb against his former ally, now turned antagonist, Donald Trump. Lisa Desjardins reports. No! Lisa. Okay, so Lisa who's a I guess a designated hit man. This is new. He's gonna come on We haven't seen her in a while. She used to be the hit person against the hit man against Trump wasn't she? Yeah, she's always and she's good at it. She's cuz she doesn't you don't notice it That's why I chopped this why there's so many clips because a lot of them are just a few seconds long Because I chopped it up and wanted to stop and discuss every little thing. Yes, of course now Trying I will say this that

1:07:57 I like DeSantis less and less. Ditto, and should I tell you why? Yes, and I'll tell you why I like him less and less after you tell me. I like him less and less because he is following the American media model of strife and outrage against the other side. So all he says is, I'm gonna be against the woke mob, screw those people. That is not a winning strategy. In fact, I despise that. And right now is the time I would have said 105%. I'm not going to say that. No, you're not.

1:08:36 In fact, it was Laura Ingraham who did a show on him recently and she came out, she actually put together a couple of little clips I have later, little super clips about what everyone thinks about him. And she made this exact same point you're making, which is that if he would concentrate on the economy, inflation, the price of gasoline, and immigration, and get off this woke, oh, I'm the anti-woke guy, bull crap, That would probably help him because this is nonsense. Yeah. But that's not what bothers me. Oh, OK. I just don't like his voice. I agree. He has a flim-flam voice. He has no power. He's got a, right, powerless, lacking any balls voice. Ball-less. Ball-less voice and he's kind of screeches and he's got like a, it's like, you know, he's, yeah, he's got a, he doesn't have a commanding voice. He's got a whiny voice. That's so interesting. And also the haircut could definitely be better. But that's so interesting because

1:09:40 You know, Frow Ingram, I didn't see that of course, but he did a good job with what he did against transitioning for teens and everything in Florida. That should just be like, okay, I did that, I got other stuff to do. Instead, that's his whole campaign. It's like, no, you can't You can't, I don't think you can. It's no good, nobody cares. You can't win that way. You can't win by putting. Good work and now do something else. Yeah really, you can't win by pitting Americans against each other. It's just dumb. So here we go with DeSantis 2. Florida is where Wolf goes to die.

1:10:23 He heard cheers early as a Florida kid making it to the Little League World Series. A baseball player at Yale as well, he then went on to Harvard Law School. From there, DeSantis chose the military. As an officer with the Navy's Judge Advocate General, he worked at the Guantanamo Bay Prison in Cuba. One former detainee alleges DeSantis oversaw beatings and force feedings of prisoners, which he has denied. He also served in Iraq and was awarded a Bronze Star. In 2012, DeSantis rode the Tea Party wave into Congress, where he opposed Obama administration policies but rarely stood out. That changed in 2018. They call him a conservative's conservative. Then 39, DeSantis made his move, running for governor of the Sunshine State.

1:11:11 Initially trailing in the primary, DeSantis launched an all-out blitz for then-President Trump's endorsement, putting his young family in the most famous ad of the year. Then Mr. Trump said, you're fired. I love that part. He won Trump's endorsement, the primary, and then a razor-thin victory in November to become governor. All I can promise is the sweat off my brow, a full heart, my best judgment and the courage of my convictions. Governor DeSantis made a national name for himself in the COVID pandemic quickly ending stay-at-home orders and opposing mask and vaccine mandates. The state saw a wave of deaths. Wait a minute, why didn't she add in there that he narrowly won because they

1:11:59 They psyoped the other guy, the Democrat, with drugs and male prostitutes. They left that out. They should have put that in. That would have been good. Well, she was already on a roll with, you know, he's watching, he's overlooking torture and he's a creep. And then at the end, the little ditty at the end was the one that just was, I had to stop it there. He stood up against the COVID policies, then there was waves of death. Play that little ending again so we get a good feeling for what they're trying to do here. That was pretty good. Himself in the COVID pandemic quickly ending stay at home orders and opposing mask and vaccine mandates. The state saw a wave of deaths. I love the beep beep. They should have had a beep

1:12:49 Yes, that would have, if you were producing that clip, that's what you would have done. I would have done the same thing. Of course we know what we're doing. That's dynamite to do that. So the way that this, so I looked into, you know, I, we have to remind ourselves that actually in 2020 Florida was at the top of the list for having the least, the number of deaths per capita that whole year, which was the initial year of COVID. And it was in fact, they were number 11 in the country. So this is bull crap. This is just the opposite. It's great. Now this is good work. Oh, it's dynamite. But once the vaccines were introduced, oh yeah, and you have that elderly population and the rest of it, it fell to the other side in the next year in 2021. It flipped. They were one of the worst states, not the worst. I think there were like 30,

1:13:41 five or something like they were one of the worst. But they weren't the worst. But during the initial part where they were, where it made a difference to not do this and not do that and not lock down, they were really, they came out smelling like a rose. It was when the vaccines were introduced that they turned around. And there's a lot of possible reasons for that, including the elderly population. And if I recall correctly, I think he was also promoting them. He wasn't against them in the beginning. DeSantis In fact, they have a very high, I think closing in on 80% vaccination rate. I think maybe 60 fully vaccinated and a lesser number, especially all the deep South, the booster people are very low. I think it's 29% for Florida. So anyway, so that's bull crap. So let's go on with clip three. The state saw a wave of deaths, but a boom to the economy. But a boom to the economy.

1:14:43 Yes, now I stopped this one short because this is a very subtle piece of propaganda. They saw a wave of deaths but a boon to the economy. This is the classic socialist, oh, life means nothing to you but a profit motive. That means everything. This is a very subtle little point. Good catch. Let's listen again. The state saw a wave of debts, but a boom to the economy. Wow. She even had a hard time reading it. But a boom to the economy. Wow. This is evil what I'm saying, but okay, I'll do it. So that's a little trickery there that, uh, yeah, human life means nothing to these Republicans, but money, money, money. So, okay. I just said that one was so outrageous. So let's go to, now I have two clip fours.

1:15:33 And you can play in either one. Let's start with the long one. This is the death's clip. He used state resources to fly migrants from the southern border to places like Martha's Vineyard. In 2022, he signed the Parental Rights in Education Act, banning talk of sexual orientation and gender identity before the fourth grade. Critics call the law, Don't Say Gay. When the Walt Disney Company, Florida's largest employer, openly opposed the law, DeSantis launched a new fight. This state is governed by the interests of the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the demands of California corporate executives. Disney and DeSantis have wrestled ever since with the company recently pulling out of a billion dollar development in the state.

1:16:25 Okay. All right. So we got this pulling out of the development. It was already done. It was bull crap. If you don't, if you're going to invest a billion dollars, it's because you expect to make 2 billion. Yeah. I mean, you don't pull out because of the, to spite the governor. Uh, so that's nonsense. And most of the debt report had a bunch of kind of twisted logic, uh, including the, um, The part about don't say gay. Well at least she was honest. Critics called it don't say gay. At least that. But I like how they... Yeah, she did get that right. But now this next one's a little sketchier. This is a clip for CRT. The state saw a wave of deaths, but a boom to the economy. If you are trying to lock people down...

1:17:08 I am standing in your way and I'm standing for the people of Florida. That kind of cultural confrontation has become his brand. In 2021, the state's Department of Education enacted a ban on teaching critical race theory in schools, though it had not been part of state curriculum. Okay, this is kind of a subtle Isn't that good hadn't been part of the curriculum by the way? That's what that that's the that's the pat answer is it's not being taught. It's not being taught. It's not on the curriculum Mm-hmm. It's being taught. Yes And if and the Florida teachers are the ones that were teaching it were bragging about it. Yeah, so this is bullcrap on So this is this is kind of a weird kind of a lie. Um nothing new. I

1:17:58 Nothing new. No. And so here's the last clip, six before we play the mini clips. But this is clip six. This year he signed a law banning abortion after six weeks of pregnancy, as questioned the US involvement in the war in Ukraine. Through it all, his policies became a blueprint for other Republicans. But one ally has turned cold. The problem with Ron DeSanctimonious is that he needs a personality transplant and those are not yet available. Time will tell if the governor who has driven conversation on the right can steer his way to the White House. You notice that they also on the day that and this leads me to believe that it's all one big we would say in the Netherlands one big wet pot

1:18:46 Ain't pulled nut. They're all in the same boiling pot together. They launch yet another investigation on Trump. It's the exact time DeSantis announced, DeSantis announces, Trump gets another investigation. This is coordinated. It's coordinated. It's totally, yes, very coordinated. Now let's play these little mini clips about, you know, what the, what our MSNBC and Joy Reid and all these people are saying about DeSantis because they have to start, because they don't want him. No. Well, they don't want any Republicans. They really don't want him. They really don't want him. No, they don't want him.

1:19:28 Which one do I play? The miniclip? This is called DeSantis' miniclips. There are a lot of younger people in that party that are much scarier. DeSantis for one. This guy is a fascist. This is coming straight out of the authoritarian playbook. This is what's so disturbing about DeSantis. DeSantis is almost... um, accelerated the racism as the point. In his quest to run the most right-wing fascist primary campaign ever, DeSantis is throwing all the right-wing pudding at the wall. Look, I, he's hard to get along with one-on-one. He's pretty awkward in person. Wait a minute, you're saying he's hard to get along with one-on-one and he's not a great campaigner? The guy who, by the way, is not expanding his own base of support and is also not doing anything to help with the awkwardness because he's awkward too.

1:20:15 That's pretty weak. Yeah, they're calling him an awkward fascist. Why don't they just call him gay? They got nothing, you know, they don't have... this is the problem. They can't if he was... No, that would be wrong. They can't call him gay. Well, Whoopi Goldberg kind of came close. Can I play this for a second? Whoopi on the view? Yeah, so I'm done with these clips so you can take it over, but I've been watching some of the view stuff is... Just so hard to watch. Yeah, it's it's not it's not hard to listen to and it's short just cat down in Florida I mean black people know there's a problem in Florida. That's what I just want to say You know we know but the problem for me is if you come from Florida and

1:21:03 And you got family down there. Saying to people, try to avoid it, doesn't work. We've got to do something different. I love them, double ACP, because I know that they're trying to do the right thing. But there's a lot of black people in Florida who live there, who grew up there, who have been there. So we have to find a better way to say we got issues. I am unaware of issues with black people in Florida. And you know the kicker? The head of the NAACP who wrote that edict lives in Florida. Here's Ana Navarro on The View. The NAACP actually issued a travel advisory against going to Florida. The formal travel notice states Florida is openly hostile toward African-Americans, people of color and LGBTQ individuals. Before traveling to Florida please understand that this

1:21:59 that the state of Florida devalues and marginalizes the contributions of and the challenges faced by African-Americans. So I love, I love where the NAACP has now also taken over the watch of colored people because that's what stands for National Advance, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which is a racist term by itself, I thought. Now, oh, LGBTQ, Miami is gay heaven. What are you talking about? And then take them out to the Keys. But, but the point, let's make sure we make the point, gay heaven, not trans heaven. Yes, gay heaven. Very subtle, gay heaven. Exactly. And Don Lemon lives in Florida. And what, oh well.

1:22:51 I mean what kind of... That proves it. What kind of... Well actually here's a report from ABC. Tonight, after accusing Governor Ron DeSantis of a quote all-out attack on black Americans, the NAACP issuing a travel advisory for Florida. other civil rights groups that have warned against traveling to the top tourist destination, the NAACP, now accusing the state of Florida of being openly hostile toward African Americans, people of color and LGBTQ plus individuals. The NAACP doesn't get to warn LGBTQ peoples.

1:23:27 This whole thing, this is laughable. The NAACP just put themselves into the clown world. That is so dumb. Everybody knows this is dumb. Like there's no black people in Florida? Oh, black people don't go to Disney! It's probably good. Don't indoctrinate your children. It probably is good. Alright, a couple of fun things here. So besides that DeSantis is only against, oh woke, the woke mob, wokeness goes, dude, that is, yeah, that's a problem. And you did a great, you did great things in Florida. We did that in Texas too, but no one's walking around like I'm gonna be president because I'm going to go against the rest of America. Even Trump is not that stupid. He just doesn't do that. It's dumb. So, but why is this? Because that's all he's got.

1:24:23 That's why he's focused on it. And he also panders to the Bitcoiners a little bit with, there'll be no central bank digital currency. That's not even for you to say, my brother. That's the central bank who gets to do that. You don't have a say over that. But also he is funded by some of the biggest hedge fund people on Wall Street. Big Wall Street money. And I also think some of the big money behind, well, I'll just say it, behind Daily Wire. Ben Shapiro's outfit. And one of our producers did a dynamite job figuring this out. So he had this video which was kind of a weak version of Trump's behind the scenes, behind the flag, walking on the stage. You saw it.

1:25:09 You know, with the boom-boom, the music behind him. Yeah, and before I continue, I want to remind people that Ben Shapiro was one of the first and earliest anti-Trumpers. So now listen, 35 seconds only, listen to the music. In Florida, we prove that it can be done. done. We chose facts over fear, education over indoctrination, law and order over rioting and disorder. We held the line when freedom hung in the balance. We showed that we can and must revitalize America. We need the courage to lead and the strength to win. I'm Ron DeSantis, and I'm running for president to lead our great American comeback.

1:25:55 So you know me, and clearly at least one of our producers. This is interesting, what music are you using? This turns out to be a track by Davis Withhane and it's called The Queen of the Violin. And this is it. This is the track. You can get it on Spotify. There's a YouTube video. You can get it on Amazon. Well, wouldn't you believe it? It's obscure! It's obscure. It's good, but it's obscure. It's not a traditional classical piece. Well, wouldn't you believe that it was used in this as well?

1:26:56 That is Jordan B. Peterson, now on The Daily Wire. These fuckers produced it, John! Sorry, I didn't mean to curse. They produced it. They produced it. This is a daily, even the video, now you look at the video. That's an outstanding catch. I mean, our producers. Because why else would you even find that music? Thank you. Unless you already had it in your library and you thought it was cool. Yep. Yep. It is cool. And you had the permission to use it. You know, if there was a licensing deal, it was already done. Already had it done. It was already taken care of. Easy, easy to add to it. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.

1:27:36 So here is I think it's a France 24 Retelling of the Ron DeSantis Twitter launch which I think also you and I if we were consulting We would have said no this is why bro? Wouldn't we have said that? It's like, don't launch with Elon Musk on Twitter. What was his point? What was the point? Is it like, well Trump did it on Twitter so I can do it? He did? Well, you know, Trump, no, he did not announce on Twitter but he used Twitter to his advantage. Yeah, well, you know, he could do that, but... No, the way Trump announces he came down... He should have done a big press conference and done it someplace in D.C. or Miami or someplace like that with a big audience. I think he doesn't have it in him.

1:28:22 I don't think he can command a big audience. I don't think he has he doesn't have the presence He doesn't have the voice. He can't get coached? No, no, you know who he you know if you want to win here I mean this came to mind. I was just looking over these clips Before I before the show whatever happened to Kellyanne Conway She is actually something of a genius when it comes to elections. Well, they hate her They do, they must because they won't know. She should have been hired. They probably, you know, they were so old make sure you do what the consultants tell you. Well, if it was consultants, was Kellyanne Conway, probably do that. But the rest of these people are idiots. How I have a feeling that they even went to the boring guy from from Daily Wire and he and they consulted him on it. This whole thing reeks of Daily Wire limperous stuff.

1:29:14 You know what I mean? I like that. Daily wire limp wrist stuff. I'm not saying that they're... I mean it has nothing to do with their sexuality, but it's just... it's weak. Well no, but they're limp wrists. You're right. Yeah. They're lighting the loafers even. Let's not take it too far. Here is France 24 reporting on this botch of a launch. It was a chaotic start to a much anticipated presidential campaign launch. It took about 25 minutes for Ron DeSantis to finally be able to make his big announcement after Twitter servers got so overwhelmed that it caused major technical issues.

1:29:52 But once DeSantis was finally able to speak, he focused most of his remarks on the culture wars that have come to define most of his time as governor of Florida, promising his supporters that he would quote, never surrender to the woke mob. He also took some swipes at the former president, Donald Trump, though he did not directly name him, for example, saying that we must end the culture of losing that has infected the Republican Party in recent years. And while the goal of DeSantis and his team was, of course, to launch this campaign in a brand new way that would bring a lot of publicity, the few

1:30:35 a hundred thousand people who actually tuned in to listen to the governor of Florida are really no match to the audiences that can be generated by traditional cable news networks. And that is why Ron DeSantis followed up his Twitter launch with an appearance on the conservative news network Fox News before he is set to hold a traditional campaign or rally which is expected sometime this weekend in Florida. And of course he went on the Democrat-run Fox because they're all in on it. Ein pot nacht. They're all in on it. This is actually a giant psyop.

1:31:20 And I really, you know, a lot of people are going to fall for it. They will. But I think, I'm looking forward to seeing what he does this weekend in front of a crowd. I don't think he can do it. I don't think he can get the people all riled up. Other than, we'll never let the woke mob take over! Okay, you're going to have a stadium full of people voting for you then. You need to do more. to be the president of the United States. And I'm not saying that Trump is the guy, but man, he does have humor. And I loved this. He posted this on Truth Social. It was a totally AI-generated Twitter spaces. So you saw the little icons, Elon, then he had in there George Soros, had the FBI, the devil,

1:32:11 Dick Cheney who's only coughing his lungs up during the whole thing and and and and did an AI generated version of this botched launch which I have to play the audio it was really good Hi everyone, welcome to our Ron DeSantis Twitter space. Hello? Is my microphone working correctly? George, can you just wait while we... Hello? Can you hear me? We can all hear you George, can you just hold on for a second? Hilfer! I don't think they can hear me. I can hear you fine George, just speak to the microphone. I don't think George knows how to use Twitter. Hello? Can you hear me now? Can I please make my big announcement now? Everyone just... Hello?

1:32:47 Shut up George. Can somebody just mute George? It's Cheney. Could you try not to cough on the... Okay, so how are we gonna take out Trump you guys? Guys from the FBI, this is not a private call. This is a public Twitter space. Everyone can listen in. Goddamnit. They go away. Anyway guys, we invited everyone to this Twitter space so Governor Ron DeSantis could... Everyone just shut the hell up so I can make my announcement, okay? You go girl. Wait, the devil is gay? So what? Everyone in this call is gay. I happen to know every single one of you.

1:33:30 Guys, can we please just calm down? So anyway guys, I just wanted to announce that I'm- Okay, I can hear the governor very well. Shut the hell up, would you please shut up already? I'm running for fucking president, okay? Yeah, we kinda already know about it. We already know, governor. Congratulations, governor. Well, that concludes our Twitter space for today. Thank you to all of our... Hold your horses, Elon. The real president is going to say a few words. The devil, I'm going to kick your ass very soon. Hitler, you're already dead. Dick Cheney sounds like you'll be joining Hitler very soon. Klaus Schwab and George Soros, I'm putting both your asses in jail. And Ron DeSanctimonious can kiss my big, beautiful 2024 presidential ass. Trump 2024, baby. Let's go.

I wish they had a Trump, better Trump voice, but that was pretty good. Of all the voices you think they'd get a good version of? It's hard. That's why I say until you can fool me with a Trump AI, it's no good. But... I would like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the culture wars.

It was cute. Yeah. But, you know, no. It looks more like Dick Cheney. You know, we're good. Yeah, also, it was insulting to my partner. So I would never, ever vote for something that insults my partner based upon his girth. No girth? There's girth in that picture. Girth in that picture, for sure. We're going to lose this AI.

1:40:11 trap. I mean we're gonna lose it. We're eventually just going to... We were gonna lose it. People are gonna slip by. It's gonna slip by with AI stuff. Of course it is. If it's Photoshop, we might as well call Photoshop AI. Oh you know what? Microsoft Word. It's AI baby. It does word correction. You might as well just say everything's AI. Yeah. It's like blockchain is exactly the same. It's blockchain. It's blockchain baby. That's what it is. Oh goodness. Anyway, congratulations to Nico Simon.

No. Maybe she donated to a different show, but she's wishing a happy birthday. And this one has to be written in by hand because I know no one's got this. Jay didn't catch it because she never saw this note. Wishing a happy birthday this week to my sister-in-law, Kate.

1:59:14 who introduced me to NOAGENDA two years ago and happy birthday to my brother Brian. I have a brother, we got two of them. Brian and Kate from HETI. During the pandemic I found great value in listening to NOAGENDA when all my friends had gone crazy for the vaccines. All of a sudden my primary news sources sounded like advertisements for Big Pharma. Amy Goodman of Democracy Now wasn't questioning the agenda of Big Pharma and Bernie Sanders and AOC were encouraging us to all us to get the shot WTF question mark The only voice of truth I could find was in the newsletter of Joseph Mercola. They took care of him. He was once the most espousing of the benefits of nutrition. Listening to you guys and knowing there's a troll room full of live listeners and tons of other folks that gave me the encouragement and others saw through the bowl crop of Big Pharma. I think there was a big group of leftist wellness hippies who believed that food is medicine and believed in boosting immunity and use herbs.

2:00:17 Anyway, she goes on condemning Big Pharma. Anyway, I find great value in your news analysis and comfort that there are others out there. Love is lit. Teddy from Truckie. You got it. And I've entered it all onto the birthday list. Emerson Trimble is in Standish, Maine. 2.13 initial payment for my years of douchebaggery as called out by Kenneth Corson on the last show. No jingles, no karma, but it sounds like it's been de-douched. You've been de-douched. And now we go to Embers. You were at... I'm sorry, you did... Zadok Brown is up next. Zadok! Zadok Brown III in Pookalani, Hawaii. $210. No, I don't see a jingle. I don't see nothing. So he gets a double of Karma. You've got...

2:01:09 Karma. Finally we've got a boss. We've got a beekeeper and tell us about the bees. Are the bees really disappearing? Let us know beekeeper. Look forward to many more shows and to hopefully knighthood. We hope that too. Lior, let us know how the bees are doing. We always, everyone's all getting all upset about the bees or the bees are dying. But he has been going on for decades. Exactly. Scott the welder meanwhile is in New York city, but in Brooklyn.

2:01:58 Uh, $200. Scott the Welder here, first time donor and douchebag. Johnson the coffee roaster punched me in the mouth three years ago and I hereby call him out as a douchebag. Now please de-douche me. You've been de-douched. And I would appreciate some jobs, Karma. Thanks for all you guys do. You ain't no welders. Put the carbon dioxide down. Hey, hey, hey. We can use electrodes. Yeah, arc welding is great, especially when you leave the stick into the weld so it sticks out. That's the best. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. We didn't say we're actual welders, but we have welded before. Give us a break, man. That's why we appreciate you so much, because we know what it takes. Remember that electrodes get stuck?

2:02:58 Daniel Nugent, Grand Rapids, Michigan, our final Associate Executive Producer, he says, Huzzah! From your supporters at the Patriot Classic, debating ideas, celebrating freedom, and dismantling the tyrants between each and every golf shop this Saturday in Michigan. Keep fighting the good fight, AC and JCD. And thank you very much. We appreciate that so much. These are our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1558, part of our two-episode Memorial Day special. You get these titles. They are titles that are good forever, so you can use them anywhere. Your LinkedIn, any resume, put them on IMDB. We've got over close to 800

2:03:42 real professionals who have their producing credits up there. You're one of them now. Unlike the douchebags in Hollywood, we will vouch for you if anyone questions this. If you'd like to become an associate or executive producer of the No Agenda show, go here. Thank you again for becoming executive and associate executive producers for this episode. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. I laughed so hard about two bits of mainstream media, Ministry of Truthiness. And I want to play them both and then there's plenty more we can do but these are just too good. And the first one is Mariana Spring from the BBC.

2:04:46 who was on the breakfast show explaining BBC Verify. Have you heard of this? The BBC Verify? No, I'm sure. BBC Verify is a team that verifies and goes against the narrative of all the misinformation, disinformation. The BBC is now your ministry of truthiness. and it was just so funny. We'll have to stop the clip a couple of times. Our team of investigative journalists here at the BBC, we are also a new brand and we are a physical location above the newsroom in London. And the point of the team as you said is to verify video, to fact-check, to counter disinformation and to analyse really complex stories so we can get to the truth of what's going on. Why does this matter? Well, mistruths can cause really serious harm to society and to the people in them.

2:05:36 It's a very serious harm. And notice how she's above the newsroom. This is great. She's above the newsroom and she's got her big... Symbolic. Oh yeah, she's got her big touch screens. And why do we do this? Because misinformation can cause serious harm. This matter, well, mistruths can cause really serious harm to society and to the people in them. And so we want to show you our workings and really help you understand how we get to the bottom of what's happening. And I'm going to give you a bit of a flavor of the kind of work that the team are doing. This is work. Mind you, this is the government government outfit. The government runs it. Don't worry, the government is here to give you the truth and to verify. So we're able to look at maps to geolocate. Maps! John, they've got maps.

2:06:24 They can geolocate specific situations, stuff that's going on and this is just a map of stuff that's going on. Central London where we are now and this is New Broadcasting House where I'm speaking to you from. They zoomed in on where they are. They've got maps, they can geolocate themselves. And it's not so important perhaps for the centre of London but it is when we're analysing war zones or what's happening in hard to reach places. And there's a story on the BBC website today, it's looking at Russian fortifications on the front lines in Ukraine and you can read more about it there. I'm so sick of these maps of where everybody is in Russia. These maps are bullcrap. If you look at these maps and you know people, hey man, Wagner group is real, look here's where everything is. I say where's this map from? It's like two Russian dudes.

2:07:11 Two Russian-like teenagers do this map. And there are other ways that we also are able to interrogate what's going on including on social media and I have to turn it what's going on? Yes, yes English is that well now this is the cool thing listen how she interrogates what's going on interrogate? What's going on including on social media, and I have some undercover accounts. I've set up for the BBC's America's podcast and we use these kinds of undercover accounts and so she basically is she's showing a Five did she just out herself? Yes, she shows five fake profiles and Two of them are black people and in the comments She's social media black facing. Yes, she should be banned. She should be

2:08:03 Well, instead of that, some of the comments were, maybe you should think of hiring actual black people at the BBC, but okay, you can have your social media blackface. Oh, she only uses that for America though. It's not for Britain because we're the racist, you see. Undercover accounts I've set up for the BBC's AmeriCast podcast and we use these kinds of undercover accounts and these are the characters that the accounts belong to. What do you think, I know the payoff, but what do you think this is really all about? What do you think it's really leading towards?

2:08:42 Get the jab? No, no, that's yesterday. No, it's something sim... We should give more support to Ukraine? Well, we already had that with the maps. No, no, it's really, there's a crescendo that culminates into a peak here. To be able to really understand polarization online and how what's happening on our social media feeds and what we're being recommended and pushed to us can affect all of us. And they don't offer us a totally exhaustive insight into what's going on, but they can help us understand just how social media works. Oh, how does social media work? BBC!

2:09:22 See, explain! Then there's also investigating other mistreats and the real world harm they can cause. Oh, other mistreats, treaties, and other real world, real world harm they can cause. At the moment I'm investigating the UK's conspiracy theory movement. I'm trying to understand more about how it's evolved and intensified since the pandemic here in the UK. I'm looking at the alternative media that finds itself at the heart of this movement. At the heart of the movement is alternative media? Do you think she means podcasts as well? Could we be at the heart of the movement? I hope so. At the heart of the movement? Here in the UK. I'm looking at... It's a movement! The alternative media that finds itself at the heart of this movement and a conspiracy theory newspaper that's a part of that as well. I'm looking at the way that alternative media is funded. Is it called the Conspiracy Times?

2:10:09 I'd like to know what this conspiracy theory newspaper is. What possibly could it be? This movement and a conspiracy theory newspaper that's a part of that as well. I'm looking at the way that... Is it the Guardian? I mean tell us which one lady! Alternative media is funded. I'm looking at its impact on local communities. I'm looking at its connections with far-right figures and also its foreign links. That's for a podcast series that will be coming out in June. It's called Mariana in Conspiracyland and it will be available on BBC Sounds, Radio 4. Asking that question, could January the 6th or a German coup attempt like we saw there ever happen here?

2:10:46 Could a January 6th or military coup attempt such as we saw in Germany ever happen here? Mariana in conspiracy land, everybody. Could it get any weirder, BBC? Mariana in conspiracy land. Oh, brother. Is that the name of the newspaper? No, that's the name of her podcast with the culmination of BBC Verify. Alright, so we would just mention that podcast. Let's play this. This is an NPR house ad and there's a podcaster involved and I'm you'll hear these house ads so much but I had to play this one I think it really should be part of what's wrong with these podcasters. Hey it's Greg Dixon from NPR's State of Ukraine podcast. I'm one of thousands of NPR networkers. What's the name of this podcast? State of Ukraine baby. It's the State of Ukraine. What kind of podcast is that?

2:11:42 It's a podcast about the state of Ukraine. I bet he has maps. Does he have access to maps? I bet he has maps! Hey, it's Greg Dixon from NPR's State of Ukraine. By the way, not a good... just don't start your promo with hey. It feels rude. Hey, it's Greg Dixon from NPR state of Ukraine podcast. Hey, I'm one of thousands of a PR network voices coming to you from over 200 local newsrooms across the country We bring all Americans closer together through free and independent journalism music politics culture and so much more The NPR network what you hear changes everything learn more at NPR org slash Network Okay

2:12:22 It's a lot wrong with that podcast. Hey, hey, two things. So two pieces of information regarding Project Veritas. One, it seems like the executive director is out. Our guy. Yeah, he's gone. So much for our inside scoop. Yes, he resigned, which we both find rather interesting. Yeah, we do. And at the same time the OMG, the O'Keefe Media Group, continues to do great work with Crap Sound. It's amazing! O'Keefe, O'Keefe! Look, I cannot believe that we helped him when he was at Project Veritas to get their sound together so you could actually use bits of their audio.

2:13:10 O'Keefe is, I mean, who is, no one's advising him now. Now he has nobody to help him. But he had a pretty good piece because, you know, what he's doing now is he's just sending microphones to people and saying, go honeypot somebody and it's great. So he had one of his O'Keefe Media Group peoples A girl, or young woman, clearly hitting on this dude, Luke Borwigan, who was a staffer for John Fetterman. And by the way, this works so well. You know, you say, hey, I'd like to have lunch with you and then you just start asking questions. And this guy, you know, his blood is drained from his brain. He's just saying anything that he can. Do we get a look at this woman? No, we don't see her, but it doesn't matter. I know how this works. So here's the tea. I think a lot of guys would fall for this. Yes. Well, that's how they got the Pfizer guy.

2:14:09 On a date with a guy. Totally similar but not quite the same. It's the same idea. So O'Keefe sets us up and makes us laugh and then I went through the trouble of fixing his audio to listen to the original which is much better. Borrigan's special assistant to John Fetterman says that they pick journalists that will quote say exactly what the f*** you want them to. He also says that the journalists are puppets. He actually names the journalists including... By the way, I know why you're playing this. Yes, that's why I stopped short here. But now I fixed the audio. I fixed it. So while he was spending time bleeping out an expletive,

2:14:57 I fixed his audio so we can listen to the gloriousness of this dude who is thinking he's getting laid and is probably never going to work in Washington ever again. And he names a number of journalists, not just the one that you know of. They're desperate for an interview with John. I mean, like, I don't mean they're bad reporters, but like, do you want to access journalists? It's like reporters who will basically tell whatever f***ing story like Best Thing Tech wants. As long as they get the interview like there's certain like Trump journalists who are accused of that. Can you hear this? Okay, is it is it? Yeah, no keep playing. It's good. It's good enough good because like Everybody wants an interview with the guy. Yeah, I'm not like

2:15:43 As a big when you're so explicit with being given interviews to it's like The ones these fake like we'll just say exact fuck you know like so that's why you pick the journalist that you pick or they'll say whatever you want us to yeah Yeah, pretty much like they weren't paying out in a bad light. You know just several Joe Scarborough. Joe Starborough? Yeah, Starborough. They heard of Morning Joe? Is that a guy that you guys didn't interview with? Yeah, he actually sucks. Pod Save America. It's like these former... Pods? Pod Save America. So far we've got Joe Scarborough.

2:16:24 Morning Joe, he sucks but he'll say whatever we want and then Pod Save America. Pod Save America? Yeah, those former OASAPers. I like the way she's good at it as an amateur. Yeah, oh yeah, she's like Pod Slut. She doesn't need much caution because she specifically stops and pronounces things slowly. Yep. enunciates oh you mean pod save America she's great she is I mean she's a gem for sure she must be a looker John and she's got that and she's got the vocal fry going on she got everything she's really doing a good job on this guy pod save America like podcasts pod save America yeah it is former llama staffers who like

2:17:12 They were like one of the first big political podcasts. I think they were like the number one political podcast in the country. Just because you've had it for like 10 years and you built up brand before anybody else had a podcast. We did an interview with them, host Trove. Like I'm about from the election and they did really well as you knew they would go along with what you wanted Journalists help you guys like We have an interview with time Time magazine, there's this like tech reporter who Is also

2:17:56 as like beard into political stuff or under names Karen Swisher and she like has multiple podcasts that I listen to like every single day. Karish Swisher. She's like one of the best. Is she one of the ones that has interviewed? It's so interesting, but I wonder who they are because I'll listen to those people all the time. There's like puppets though. Karish Swisher. She's the best. They're all puppets. Ha! Okay, now I was ignoring this story because you did this extra work to make it so it's very it was very good job by the way, so I'm gonna give you a clip of the day for that. Oh, well This I had not expected. I'm humble. Thank you very much But yeah this woman whoever she is is a natural and Kara Swisher needs to repent

2:18:50 I mean, it's one thing if James O'Keefe calls you out, like who cares? She'll just say, James O'Keefe is a douchebag, blah, blah, blah. But this is an actual guy who booked you to interview Federman. And I remember her interview. And her saying, Fetterman's great. I had no problem understanding him. He had no problem understanding me. He was fantastic. He's a great guy. And she's a total doofus shill and they know it and they're using her for access journalism. If this doesn't embarrass her, then nothing, well, okay, then nothing will embarrass her. Nothing's going to embarrass her. I just thought that was beautiful.

2:19:29 Hey, you have to do what you have to do to get the interviews. To get it, man. Yeah, to get the interviews, you know, because I'm Keri Swisher. I have a podcast. I'm the award-winning pivot podcast in the technology category. Actually, the fact that you get an award after something like this came out is... It kind of says it all, doesn't it? The reason we have to do awards. Just a little callback there for everyone. Yes. What I have left is some climate change stuff and I have... Well I want to get some top news out of the way. All right, top news, second half, what do we got?

2:20:04 I want to start with the default BS so we just get that out of the way this is just the NPR report very short. The White House is delivering a stark warning about the severe consequences a potential default would have on the nation. NPR's Windsor Johnston reports talks between administration and congressional negotiators picked back up again today after hitting a snag yesterday. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre struck an urgent tone. warning that too much is at stake for lawmakers to allow the U.S. to default on its debt. or in a blue state. Republicans are refusing to accept a deal unless it results in the government spending less money than it did in the last fiscal year. Democrats, including President Biden, argue that the GOP demand to cut spending is unreasonable. Without an agreement, the U.S. could default on its debt by as early as June 1st. Question about this.

2:21:09 I don't know, I didn't hear the last DH unplugged. There's got to be a name for this type of trade that you do on this because we all know at the very last second it's gonna... It's called negotiating. No, no. I mean there's got to be a trade, a put, a call, something you can make. Oh, you mean some money you can make on this deal? Yes, everybody's doing it. I'm sure of it. It's got to be called like the debt ceiling trade or something like that. There's gotta be something. I'll ask him next time. Please do, because you know that people know how this works. They know it's... it would, I mean, wouldn't it surprise us if we actually quote-unquote defaulted and now we have the, oh, the ratings agencies are talking about downgrading us.

2:21:50 That's part of the scheme. Yes, it is part of the playbook now. I got one clip here This is not gonna talk about Ukraine today, but we should at least talk about the Ukraine back moot I do a body count We've never heard this before The head of Russia's private Wagner military group says his force lost more than 20,000 men in the drawn-out battle for the eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. About half the number apparently Russian convicts recruited to fight in the now 15-month-old war. That figure is in stark contrast to claims from Moscow just more than 6,000 troops have been killed in the war as of January. Ukraine has not said how many of its soldiers have died in Russia's invasion. Analysts believe the nine-month fight for Bakhmut alone costs the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers. All right, hold on a second. I do have some reports about Ukraine.

2:22:38 And some very interesting ones, mainly from France 24, where we tend to get the truth. So listen to this from our friends at the Wagner Group. Well this morning Ukraine's deputy defence minister, Hanna Malyar, seemed to confirm that the Ukrainians are observing exactly that transfer. of Wagner mercenaries to regular Russian army troops on the outskirts of Baghmut. She said they weren't observing it at the moment in the city center where Wagner mercenaries remain. But that's consonant with what Yevgeny Prigozhin has been saying, which is that they'll fully pull out by June the 1st. Now what you are literally seeing in all of these reports is that hot dog guy

2:23:18 talking to two dudes, two dudes in military garb with masks on. So we're led to believe that the Wagner group now is transferring power from hot dog man to two dudes with masks on. Very unconvincing. slightly oddly he added that he was going to leave two what he described as elite members of the Wagner forces in the city center. He's leaving two members of the elite forces there, please. Ukraine has not recognized having fully lost control of Bakhmut. They say they still hold

2:23:59 some positions on the western outskirts of the city. What Ukrainian commanders there are saying, I've been telling my colleague from France 24 Spanish Channel anyway, is that Ukraine's plan is to push the Russians back further on the northern and southern outskirts of the city and then sort of try to force them back into the city centre and then bombard them when they're there. That's Ukraine's strategy to take back back boot in the medium term, whether or not they'll be able to pull it off though is another question. So this is all bullcrap and the whole plan which France 24 just told the world no they're gonna they're gonna have a guy some guys up north and guys down below and they're gonna bomb them together and that'll get them. Okay okay I'm very impressed. No. Wagner group is out. We have a new group

2:24:48 A new group, and this is where all the journalists were. The journalists were all summoned to go visit this group behind the Russian incursion. You saw this, yes? You saw the deep into Russian territory all of a sudden it was Russians! They're traitors! What's happening? What's going on? Wait until you hear this report from France 24. We've been brought here to this secret location towards Ukraine's northern border with Russia. Mind you, what you're seeing, you're seeing some kind of personnel carrier There's three dudes sitting on this personnel carrier and there must be a hundred journalists taking pictures. A hundred at the secret location, John. Secret location. I'm surprised this isn't on the BBC Verify map. We've been brought here to this secret location towards Ukraine's northern border with Russia in a highly mediatized operation. A highly mediatized operation. Have you ever heard of this?

2:25:48 I've never heard that word used media ties. Is that even a word it ties? It sounds like something you did part of a detergent I Think it sounds like a show title. What is media? Is that even a word? Hold on? We consult the book of knowledge. I don't think it is a word, but it might be well media ties Yes, it is media ties is in the free dictionary first one. I hit here media ties is To annex to a greater state as means of permitting the ruler of lesser state to remain titled. What? It's got to do with the media. I don't know. Mediatized. mediatized. Well play that clip again let's see what the context is and what she's trying to say. We've been brought here to this secret location towards Ukraine's northern border with Russia in a highly mediatized operation. We've been brought to meet two groups the Freedom of Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps who participated in the spectacular incursion into Russian territory in the

2:26:47 Bulgurod region and they've been telling us some details about that although it remains shrouded in mystery. Mediatized to annex to another state while allowing certain rights to its former sovereign. This is a very interesting word they're using here. So does that mean that they they consider this area of Russia to be actually Ukrainian or is used in the context of this is Ukrainian but it's actually Russian. So it's just supposedly the way they've analyzed this at least our media friends

2:27:26 that this was not, had nothing to do with Ukraine. No? No. This is a bunch of Russians trying to get rid of Putin. I'll wait until you hear it. It's really unclear just how much support Ukrainian authorities gave them. They've publicly denied any direct support but there's so much we don't know about how this incursion happened. It's the first known joint operation involving these two Russian paramilitary groups formed in Ukraine, both ardently anti-Kremlin. The first goal, we want to stop war in Ukraine. The second goal, we want... So this is the first guy, he doesn't really say anything interesting, but wait until you hear the English-speaking, the good English-speaking Russians. To change Putin's regime. We want to free our country. It's our business, our own Russian business.

2:28:13 They want a civil war in Russia. This is the new Wagner group, you watch. Dennis Nicotine. The smoker. Dennis Nicotine. That's the guy we're all... Communication success. Wow, I understood that nicotine smoked him out. Brushing off questions about his far-right roots. I never concealed our, so to say, ideas. So we're conservative, traditionalist, right-wing. I don't think there's a problem. I don't care how Russians will call me. They keep on calling us names, traitors, Nazis, neo-Nazis actually, to be correct. I like how he's correcting them. We're not Nazis. Hey, hey,

2:29:05 We're neo-Nazis. If you're gonna call us Nazis, call us the right kind of Nazis. I don't care how Russians would call me. They keep on calling us names, traitors, Nazis, neo-Nazis actually to be correct. So should we care? The implications of this incursion could be far-reached as well as any military impact. It could have a psychological impact too, perhaps sowing panic in Russia, creating chaos. That's what these men hope. But it also gives the Kremlin an argument to say that Russia is a victim in this war. It also could divert Russian troops away from

2:29:45 other frontline areas in Ukraine as they prepare their counter-offensive? I think that this is the new group to watch. They need a snazzy name, not neo-Nazis. Niko Nikotin, whatever the guy's name is, he's a great spokesperson. He's much better than Hot Dog Boy. I think that, you know, this this mediatized information, was it media, what did she call it? No, she called it an information coup or something. No, I don't know what, no I missed that. This is the new thing to watch because now we all need to be talking about... They do have to have a name. They got to have a name but we need to be talking about them causing, you know, strife and discord within Russia because they're gonna be against Putin. It's gonna be civil war. I think this is a strategy. They may not be the one but it's definitely a strategy.

2:30:40 I think it's, I think there's something there. I smell Victoria Newland. Wow. If there ever was an opening to this show. Meanwhile, Jake Sullivan explains how they magically found three billion dollars to send to Ukraine. There was this very bizarre admission from the Pentagon this week of an accounting error that suggested that the US has at least three billion dollars that it didn't know it had that it can use for Ukraine aid. That's a hell of an accounting error, and it provides a lot of fodder to critics of USAID Ukraine and critics who say there's not enough oversight going on. Are you concerned about this accounting error?

2:31:27 Well, one thing I just want to make clear, that is not money that went out the door and disappeared. That is not a waste of that $3 billion. It is simply a tally of how much military equipment we have given them. And the way that the Pentagon was counting it was, what's the replacement cost for the equipment we provide rather than just the actual cost of that equipment. Once you make that adjustment, it turns out we have an additional three billion dollars that we can spend to provide even more weapons to Ukraine. Even more weapons to Ukraine! So, so, so wait, they were counting it as what it cost to buy as opposed to what it costs to replace? That makes no sense what he said. It does if you listen to, and there's no coincidence in the kingdom, in the kingdom,

2:32:14 60 minutes at a whole piece on the military gouging the American public. With the U.S. or the military industrial complex supplying billions of dollars of munitions to Ukraine and growing tensions in the Taiwan Strait, some Pentagon generals are sounding alarms about the dwindling supply of U.S. weapons at a time when the cost of replacing them is skyrocketing. We wondered why the Pentagon is finding it hard to procure weapons it needs at a price taxpayers can afford. A six-month investigation by 60 Minutes found it has less to do with foreign entanglements than domestic ones, what can only be described as price gouging by U.S. defense contractors. Now this is 60 Minutes. It's on CBS, the CIA broadcast systems. This cannot be a coincidence.

2:33:04 That we throw out this confusing $3 billion thing where people are going humina humina humina and then 60 Minutes does a whole piece on the military-industrial complex gouging us? This is not a coincidence. Here's just one little bit of this, which I thought was great. The Pentagon granted companies unprecedented leeway to monitor themselves. Instead of saving money, Assad told us the price of almost everything began to rise. In the competitive environment before the companies consolidated, a shoulder-fired Stinger missile cost $25,000 in 1991.

2:33:46 With Raytheon now the sole supplier, it costs more than $400,000 to replace each missile sent to Ukraine. A shoulder-fired missile costs $400,000? This is a... Yeah, sounds like a gouge. It used to cost $25,000. This is an outrage. Even accounting for inflation and some improvements, that's a seven-fold increase. I don't know. I mean even Palki Shwarma is in on it. She had something to say which is not reported at all. A perfect storm is brewing in America. The US government might soon run out of cash. Investors are preparing for a government default and if that wasn't enough, now doubts are being raised over American warplanes. A big lapse has come to light at the Pentagon. Spare parts worth millions of dollars

2:34:52 are missing. They're unaccounted for. And the Pentagon cannot come up with an explanation. Which parts are these? They're for the F-35 fighter jet, the most advanced warplane in the world. Also America's most important weapon as of today. If there's a war, if there's a need to demonstrate air power, the F-35 will be seen in action. But to keep that warplane ready for battle, the US must maintain an inventory for spare parts. Something's going on. What do you think is going on here? I have no idea. They're obviously gonna try to put the screws to some of these guys. Yeah. Why now? I don't know. I mean, well, what the only thing they can say is, you know what? We're in real trouble here. We need spare parts. We need to replenish our supply. We're so sorry. We know. I mean, it's gonna be expensive.

2:35:52 But we need to do it and then we'll do an audit of the Pentagon. They're never going to do an audit of the Pentagon. No, of course not, but they will promise another one. You know, Lucy can pull the football many times. This is basically just a one giant scam. No, you don't say. I heard from one of our military insiders The F-16s that we will be sending to Ukraine via, you know, they will come from one of the European countries. Right. Most likely the Netherlands who cancelled a 40 unit sale to an American arms dealer.

2:36:36 And that's, you know, exactly the amount that Ukraine wants. He says they will be multiple generations behind, because we were discussing this, you know, will they be old things? What will it be? Multiple generations behind. They will not have any of the high tech gear that we have in it. We never sell our planes to other countries with all the cool new gadgets. And they are very, and there's a whole history behind the F-16, it's a very bare bones thing. You actually have to be quite the pilot to operate these well. It's not just a let me train you in a couple of months and you're good to go Tom Cruise. So look for lots of crashes.

2:37:20 Lots of lots of ejections is is basically the word a lot of rejection I don't know what the hell's going on. I'm out of here I'm gonna show my support by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that.

So that credit goes to him That's $100 sir West in Seattle, Washington is a hundred He says he was waiting for the sad puppy I forgot all about the sad puppy

2:38:17 Jason Mara, we did have an issue with the newsletter. Yeah, was that good time to start? What happened? What happened with the newsletter? Well, nobody was opening them and there was I think it was because the word suicide so I think it went to some, I think it was bypassed and they went is this okay? Can we send this out? Or is it advocating for suicide? I think that's what I honestly believe that happened. Yeah, I think that's probably true and it was Outlook was the one that caught it the most and then Outlook caught a whole bunch of them out of the blue and they were all Gmail accounts from Outlook and somebody sent me a note Outlook does Look for keywords probably Outlook manages Gmail what I don't think Outlook manages Gmail

2:39:04 That doesn't sound right. There's something going on with Outlook and Gmail and there was like, we're talking about 40 or 50 of these things. So I had to send out the second little note in plain text and explain the situation and it usually results in some extra additional donations, hopefully. And it also, we've had some other anomalies that have come cropped up recently. Few people are getting the thing in spam. The outlook is a real problem, by the way. It sucks.

2:52:29 I got some climate change if you're interested. By the way, I just should mention I'm looking at this stock chart for this company. VF Corp. VFC. The North Face? Geez, this thing has just been on a steady decline. It's like dive, dive, dive. Oh really? Yeah, it's way down. It's as low as I can tell. That's interesting. It's interesting. You want to hear a couple of funny climate change clips? How about the ISOs? Oh, I'm sorry. What am I thinking? I was all jacked about it. I have

2:53:30 I have three. Do you have any? What do you have? Do you have a couple of? I have two. Okay, do you have winners? Do you think you have winners? I don't have any winners. I have two good ones though. Okay, here's your first. Which one do I do first? Sophia. A hundred percent. You even mislabeled it just to throw me off. Okay. And then we have forever. I was like, is this what I want forever? What is she saying? I was like, is this what I want forever? It's like, this is what you want forever. I was like, is this what I want forever? They're almost... Is this what I want forever? They're almost... it's almost a pair. I was like, is this what I want forever? 100%. It's almost like a pair. I'm liking those, John. I gotta tell you. Let me see what I have. This story is noble. Trump ain't my homework. I kind of like that one. Trump ain't my homework. Maybe this one. There's gonna be no agenda.

2:54:26 I am torn. I like your forever. I like you Sophia. Honestly, I like them together. I was like is this what I want forever? 100%. I mean perfect. I think we need to use those two. That's very good. Very good. Oh wait, I'm having a harder time getting clips from her. From Sophia. We had one of the Vanderpump rules people on and they just did an interview. It was just unlistenable That's why you weren't watching TMZ. You're listening to Sophia. No, no that that's what triggered did my comment? What is it? Is this everywhere? Yeah, Vanderpump rules been around a long time too. It's not like new I don't even get it. What is it? Who's Vanderpump? Oh, please let's listen to

2:55:12 If you're gonna play funny climate clips, I'm get to finish the show with a couple of Biden killers. Alright, well I get to first do a clip from the BBC. where the reader or the writer of this story had something else on their mind. The UN Human Rights Chief has urged the two warring generals in Sudan to stop sexual violence and spare the lives of civilians. Fulka Türk called on Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Mohamed Hamdan Digolo to stop what he called the senseless violence. I think she said sexual in the beginning. Instead of senseless. I think she said sodomize the public or something. I think she's saying sexual sense. Whatever it was, it was wrong.

2:56:01 Two stupid stories regarding climate change. Of course we had the World Meteorological Organization, the WMO, come out and say 60% certain that we're all gonna die and here we go. Now the French government is launching a national consultation on its climate change roadmap today. The initiative comes amid warnings that the country must prepare for temperatures of 4 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels at the end of this century. According to France's Minister for Ecological Transition, the most optimistic scenario would be by the year 2100 a two degree increase for metropolitan France, but they say a four degree increase is actually more likely. By 2100, what are you opening? This is a Soleil Original. Soleil Original. Very nice. Is that a hard sell, sir?

2:56:58 No, it's just bubbly water. And this report, I have multiple versions of it. I'm only going to play the CNN version because it's just too delicious to believe. It's a live look at beautiful New York City, but you better look now because apparently it's sinking. According to a new geological study, the city skyscrapers are so heavy they're weighing down the island. Together they weigh nearly 1.7 trillion pounds. So the whole idea of this report is that there's so much concrete that the city is sinking, mind you, two millimeters a year, two millimeters.

2:57:36 That's almost nothing and I don't know how you measure it. I think this was a misreporting of that it was somebody making a comment that New York City is stinking. Let's listen to how they twist this though. The study comes as the Army Corps of Engineers is racing to find ways to prevent the city from being submerged. Oh no! What? The Army Corps of Engineers is racing because we're seeking by By two millimeters a year we have to race to save the city. Save the city! Save the city! During future national natural disasters. Oh my gosh. Bill, we both live by the water in Brooklyn and I like it and I would like to remain above sea level. Wait a minute.

2:58:24 These people are all in on climate change. Why are they living by the water? What is wrong with you? Good question. Well, you have a lot of people working on just that. I don't know if you guys can feel Hudson Yards sinking. It's really slow. It's only about the thickness of a couple of nickels. No. No. No. Two millimeters would literally be less than one nickel, but okay. That's about it. That's the average of the whole city over a year, but certain parts of the city, depending on the soil, depending on groundwater, is sinking faster than others. Staten Island more vulnerable here. The problem is 1.7 trillion tons of carbon dioxide that is in the sky that is melting polar ice and raising sea levels slowly. There we have it.

2:59:07 The water's coming up. It's all a trade-off now as we think about living in this new world. Lower Manhattan, obviously the financial center of the universe in many places. So protecting that with engineering in our lifetimes is going to be a new very expensive reality. A very expensive, very expensive reality. All that was missing was they called this instead of lower Manhattan the financial district. They should have called the Phi Di Which is what it is what all the hipsters call it now Phi Di. I have to Biden clips That's what you're gonna end us with Biden clips. Yeah, because one of them's great ending. Okay. All right. All right Which one they're always by there are yeah, Biden is pretty good. You're not is the one he did at the g7 and everyone's this has been going around and around everyone loves it and

3:00:01 This is the Biden's, uh, the, oh, I got the wrong list of clips. The Biden G7 ramble. Where's the clips? The Biden G7 ramble? Is that the one? The Biden G7 ramble. And there's a lot of others too. For example, the idea that we're, uh, in terms of, uh, taxes that they refuse to, for example, we, uh, I was able to balance the budget and pass everything from the global warming bill. Anyway, I was able to cut by $1.7 billion in the first two years the deficit that we were accumulating. And because I was able to say to it that the 55 corporations in America that made $400 billion, or $40 billion, $400 billion,

3:00:49 that they pay zero in tax. Zero. I just want to remind you that you at a certain point in the recent past had the theory that Biden is actually some kind of genius mobster, head of a crime family and all of this bumbling and mumbling is just an act. Like the old Giovese family guy who was an old man. He went on, he ran the family for 20-30 years like that. Yeah. You're gonna keep to it? You're gonna stick to that? It's still plausible. It's still plausible. Okay. Although the next one, which is the short little ending end point, which is where Biden is a seven second clip, which I think is a gem. The deficit by $160 billion dollars. Billion. B-I-L-L-I-O-N dollars on the Medicare deal. Billionion! Billionion!

3:01:49 Mr. President, please, whatever you do, don't spell anything. Please, Mr. President, please, just—just don't do it, okay? What a doper. Yeah, well, he's clearly a genius, John. Clearly a genius. Clearly, clearly, clearly. Alright everybody that is it for us coming up next on no agenda stream if you're listening to that in the troll room if you're on one of those fancy apps You'll get the private citizen episode 154 the democratic delusion.

I'm standing on the other side of the brunch bar, deep in the chentropod city of Austin. I met a young girl walking her two dogs, a black Irish satyr and miniature dachshund. Standing by the corner in a park of heptiglou, she was lost cause her iPhone was dead.

3:05:16 battery died. I showed her how to find the way to the coffee house. She was swiping right and so was I. She's a millennial. I fell in love with her. She took a scooter to the doggie daycare. I found her on Insta. She post-depressed me. I liked all her pictures so she'd know that I care. Called an Uber and I put in my 12 gauge plugs I picked her up at a park full of tents and trams She had a shopping cart full of stuff I said, wait, you're homeless? She said, yeah, I guess I am. In the end, yeah, I'm home.
