Flash to Bang

00:00 You take him off the ballot to protect a democracy. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah. This is your award winning Gamer Nation Media Assassination Episode 1619! This is no agenda. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I've concluded that broadcasting live sports events over streaming services doesn't work. I'm John C. Dvorak. No, that's not what happens. Oh! What's the problem then? It just crashes. It crashes?! What are you watching is it YouTube TV? Well now let's just quickly... Okay The NFL which is a corrupt organization to the way I see they just take whatever whoever throws money at them Look at Taylor Swift yes

01:02 whoever throws money at them. And so the Amazon decided to stream live football on Thursday nights, and nobody liked these Thursday night games anyway so let Amazon do it. So they're livestreamed it doesn't work! It doesn't load...it says oh go to amazon help you can't get your video and then And then it loads, all of a sudden you'll get a bit of it and then it crashes with the message something happened! Okay. So you have to go back and reload again and again. Wait wait wait doesn't say something went wrong? Yes, something went wrong. That's what it says my favorite message. Yes something you've seen that Not during sports ball but yes I've seen this yeah Amazon is overwhelmed their prime video is out of control and yes You see that message? I tried to watch a reacher I had similar problems But when you try to watch the Thursday night football game

01:59 except I suppose in some areas, it's almost impossible because it's all going through one small pipe. Normally a football game is distributed all around the country through local stations over the air and even on local cable and it gets distributed fine. It's not one thin pipe where everybody has to go to this pipe to get their stuff. This is a stupid idea And they're gonna promote it even more because I guess they just did a game recently where they streamed a football game on the Peacock Network. I don't even know how to get that and nobody watched it This is unbelievable, this is unacceptable Wow! Twice in a month? Start off with a complaint What's going... well you know we need to clear what we need to do

02:48 We need to buy up a whole bunch of those local OTA stations and then start broadcasting live sports. I mean, we'll have... Of course it will have to be badminton with what we can afford but it'll be a start. We can do if we can do it with the fund? Everybody has a TV that will do everyone's TV does that you just got to get your $12 antenna Don't you think? It's a genius idea. I think people are flocking to over the air Yes, yes, I think we have an exit strategy Wow Do you have an over-the-air connection? Of course you know that! Where is... where are your channels coming from Oh man all over San Antonio Austin Bernie Let me see if there is another one Those are the big ones oh I have over 100 stations Beautiful Over the Air OTA

03:42 OTA, OTA going OTA. I'm an OTA kind of guy. Uh oh everybody stand by it's that time again! It's that time of year that's right its Christmas when its Christmastime what do we do? We have to scare people! This morning with three days before Christmas law enforcement on alert reporting the most challenging threat environment since 9-11 Many of the threats tied to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas. Since October 7th, the FBI has received more than 1800 reports of threats or other types of tips or leads that are somehow related to or have a nexus to the current conflict in Israel and Gaza. The FBI now has 100 active full-scale investigations tied to that Middle East conflict.

04:34 Who is that woman? She has that gravelly Lisa Monaco, Susan Rice. Lisa Monaco! You nailed it. That was Lisa Monaco. And get this now what... Council on Foreign Relations creep. Yeah and what is she wearing a red... A funny sweater? No a red blazer because you know she's important go ahead go out on the street Point to me how many women are walking around with a red blazer on. I have never seen one You only see it in Congress and with douchebags, and of course Santa Claus Mrs.. Claus which may be a subliminal message But you know women who wear these red jackets sometimes it's yellow

05:22 They... You're right, no it's mostly red. It's a power play and she is sitting there with Pierre Well Pierre we got some threat vectors Threat environments it's very dangerous 1800 tips And officials also reporting a spike in threats to public officials Agents and police now investigating violent threats against the Colorado Supreme Court after its ruling disqualifying former President Trump from running for office citing his alleged role in the January 6th insurrection Trump is expected to appeal that ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court as soon next week, a deputy attorney general telling me in an ABC News exclusive that US public officials are at a level they've never seen before.

06:06 I'm president! and a couple podcasters. To be clear, Monaco and other top law enforcement officials including the FBI director are saying there's no reason to panic but all of us should be vigilant for the foreseeable future and through the holidays. 1800 kids right back there trying to kill! But don't panic No ABC New York took this and went to streets their very own streets because not only do we have Christmas We also have you know new years

06:47 And we have Trump, to be honest about it. We got all kinds of stuff there now let's just listen how the local newscaster starts it off by saying There is no evidence of anything going on but... We have covered the holiday weather forecast The holiday travel situation Now the more troubling angle and yes there was no confirmed terrorist threat in our area for either the Christmas holiday or New Year's Eve in New York City But Intelligence agencies and security experts believe that with the war and chaos in the Middle East, we are in a kind of danger zone. We can't for New York minute ignore. You'll find an increased police presence in Times Square this year both officers you'll see and ones you don't even know where they're at. Stop stop! Is this different than any other New Year's Eve ever? Increased police presence

07:40 Oh, of course it's not different. It is exactly the same as it has always been an increased police presence during New Year's I will say in 1987 when I had just freshly arrived at MTV my first gig now I did something for Halloween but then my first gig was live from Times Square back when Times Square was not made a rubber Back when you had this little island between Broadway and 7th Avenue, you could get killed on those streets. Yes it was a good time It was a good time? And I had police presence around me! It was definitely more dangerous then

08:21 Just the sheer nature of Times Square. You could trip and die, but now... Yeah, Times Square was bad! A real threat Security experts say police are facing the most challenging threat environment since before 9-11 They're receiving more tips What happened to January 7th? Come on people, you're messing up your messaging here. Working behind the scenes to that demo. Social media tips from people following all these leads Oh yeah social media someone posted on X that something could go on and we're following all these leads then they cut to war footage! All of these leads

08:58 The increased threat started on October 7th. Is that a machine gun in Times Square? Yeah, all of the sudden there's sand in Times Square and machine guns. ...to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas... With the pro-Palestinian watches right now it's sapping a lot of the strength and in the end, you have this police department. Hold on a second! It seems the real threat here is the pro-Palestinian marches So that's of course concerning Nationwide, the FBI has investigated more than 1800 tips since then And it has more than 100 open investigations They're in some way tied to the conflict We've had cases involving threats to kill FBI agents A Supreme Court Justice and three presidential candidates

09:39 gold rings. It's something the director of the FBI testified about in front of Congress earlier this month I've never seen a time where all the threats or so many of them are elevated, give us more money! All at exactly the same time The biggest concern lone wolves and small groups taking actual little to no notice it is time to really be concerned about this We won't panic, of course. But nonetheless we're in rare times. You look at the hate crime numbers that are up in New York City... Hate crime! These are extraordinary levels that we haven't seen. But the country's largest city is used to threats and police say they're more than prepared to host the country's largest New Year's Eve celebration safely. This is going to be the safest place... Cancel it! Now listen all of that

10:23 We've got machine guns, we've got threats that can kill everybody and then... But this will be the safest New Year's Eve ever everybody. His largest New Year's Eve celebration safely. This is going to be the safest place in the country if not the world. The New York City Police Department has the greatest resources, the greatest intelligence the greatest... And we smell good! ...the goal wherewithal to know how to deal with these situations. Wherewithal? Get this, in just the past two months there have been 450 local demonstrations directly connected to the Israel-Hamas war and police are preparing for the possibility that one of those demonstrations could take place in this area on New Year's Eve So that was just ABC but CBS faced the nation

11:10 I mean, they deserve an award. What kind of award can we get for bull crap scaring the public? Maybe that's the award we should be giving out every single year. Scaring the public. You can do that too. There is no reason you can't do multiple awards were in the position to do that. Okay. I don't know what your reluctance is. I can't figure it out. You need a plan. No! What?! That means meetings forget it. Margaret Brennan brought in all of her favorites. I mean, I have to give it to them they were working well Of course they recorded this yesterday or maybe even Friday They're not sitting there live in the studio on Sunday night. Not on a Sunday? I don't think so not on Christmas Eve

11:53 So they brought in the poop guy. I'm surprised Margaret was working this must have been really recorded a while ago. They got him, Pegues and Pixie Girl CIA stooge Harridge everybody was in on this because we need to scare everybody about all kinds of stuff including including including It's tradition here at CBS News to scare the crap out of you on Christmas Eve. Gather our Washington reporters and look forward to the year ahead. Oh yes. Catherine and Jeff, I know you talk a lot to law enforcement sources as well what is your degree of concern about what happens? What is your degree of concern John? What is your degree of concern? Uh... two

12:38 Already law enforcement across the country is dealing with an uptick in domestic terrorism cases. An uptick? Uptick! Because there's... An uptick in domestic terrorism, where has there been domestic terrorism?! Where's this? Where's the up-where's the tick? Dealing with an uptick in domestic terrorism cases because there is this concern about how will the public react if there is a conviction in any of these cases. And already, the number of domestic terrorism cases that they've been investigating at the FBI specifically compared to the number of international terrorism organizations and those kinds of cases

13:15 They're about running even so hold on a second. There's no evidence of this There's not been any stories about what's the most recent domestic terrorism case we've heard of there was a school shooting somewhere but month ago, maybe I mean some guys It doesn't seem to, I don't know. You're asking me? Yeah, I'm sorry what am i doing? Law enforcement is also very focused on preventing any kind of domestic terrorism in this incredibly dynamic threat environment right now. Or dynamic threat environment, right? Law enforcement's interested in maybe stopping more than nothing else or more than anything else is stopping speeding but... Merry Christmas domestic threat environment and merry Christmas everybody we're looking forward to your domestic

14:07 Terrorism is not what the local law enforcement's doing around here. Trying to clean up the homeless encampments I need, I need to uh...I need to help these people out a little bit They have this report- You want me to add some machine gun fire? What are you gonna do Catherine, you have this extraordinary job of covering the presidents. Oh I'm sorry, I went too fast. We're in this incredibly dynamic thread right now and the focus squarely is on lone actors or lone offenders. Lone offender! Individuals who are inspired by events overseas or they're inspired to act radicalized by domestic events. Wait stop listen that sentence again they're inspired to act radicalized? Yes

14:53 Stop that I said it no when Christina was a baby. I said stop acting radicalized you stupid child alone offenders individuals who are inspired by events overseas or they're Inspired to act radicalized by domestic events and very opportunistic what so it talks about car ramming attacks It talks about weapons it talks about knives And a very short, what law enforcement calls flash to bang. That period in between wanting to act and then making the decision to act. Oh God! Flash to bang? Wow this is a new... I gotta write this down. Flash... What do you think it's flash to bang? T-A bang? Slash 2 Bang slash 2 bang which is good show title. No not slash, flash

15:38 Flash not slash? No, it was flash. Flash to bang. Oh, flash to bang! It's like a flash bang. Yes. It's like one of those little grenades. Yeah, flashbangs. So she is taking it and parsing it creating a new term called... Flash to bang. To bang. Yes, flash to bang. So it's like a flashbang. It flashes. And then it bangs. And then it bangs. Yes, flash to bang. It's like a flash in the pan. All of sudden could just fire up someone gets radicalized. Someone is acting radicalized Back to the... Yeah, but Flash in the Pan has other meanings. Catherine you have this extraordinary job of covering the president's own son

16:18 And his legal issues. Hunter Biden with these indictments, three related to a firearm felony counts nine related to tax issues where does this go? Tax issue that's cool related to tax issues he broke the law. If she's gonna answer honestly where is this going to She should say if she's going to answer honestly, I don't know if she does or not because I have never heard this clip. But I'm guessing she'll answer honestly and say well it will lead to a pardon. Where does this go? 2024 is going to be a year of incredible legal exposure for the president son. And these criminal prosecutions are gonna unfold at the same time that his father is running for re-election in January he will be arraigned in California court on tax charges

17:12 and I would pay special attention to the California case. I had two lawyers look at the 56 page indictment, and they reached the same conclusion that it is a shot across the bow by the Special Counsel he identifies Hunter Biden as a lawyer of consultant and a lobbyist, and then goes into considerable detail about his business transactions with Ukraine, with China, Romania and others. And they see this as... Romania? What's the Romania stuff? Oh the Romania has always been in play. They always talk about It's Ukraine, China and then they throw in Romania even though they've never given us any details on this Romania angle. Romania on... Merry Christmas Romania! With China, Romania and others

17:58 And they see this as an indicator that the special counsel at the very least is investigating potential violations of foreign lobbying laws, maybe even a superseding indictment. The Logan Act! Alright now we're getting down to the nitty gritty because you know we have to get our Christmas message out there people so we need to start looking forward to 2024. Well, mine's a little dark. I just feel a lot of concern that 2024 may be the year of a black swan event. This is a national security event with high impact that's very hard to predict. There are number of concerns that I have that factor into that and not only this sort of enduring heightened threat level... Enduring, enduring heightened threat level? Orange

18:42 Yes, orange man bad. Not only this sort of enduring heightened threat level that we're facing the wars in Israel also Ukraine and we're so divided in this country in ways that we haven't seen before and I think that just creates fertile ground for our adversaries North Korea China and Iran and that's... Wahoo? That creates fertile ground! The North Koreans are gonna come in and sow their seed on our fertile grounds Maybe the Chinese, maybe the Romanians. North Korea? Just creates fertile ground for our adversaries like North Korea China and Iran and that's what concerns me most a lot of people did she get paid this is like does she have a fee schedule so she could the extra 500 bucks if she says North Korea well she blew it cuz she should've thrown Romania in for $1.50

19:33 up at night with that concern, Catherine. At least in this town. All right now let's go to the longer predictions here this is uh... this is going to wrap it all up this segment. Here on Face The Nation we've covered a lot of tough stories this year. Tough stories! So we asked- It was a hard year he was so hard for us But let's pat each other on the back because we did a good job everybody. It was hard, it was tough stories but we did it! We're CBS. Mark Strassman to go back and recap some of the good news. Oh, GOOD NEWS! The Good News! Do you think this will be puppies and pancakes? And pajamas? I think they are stealing our material... Yeah no not entirely

20:13 Ladies first. Women headlined all over in 2023, Taylor and her jubilant Swifties. Oh no! It's amazing how everybody comes together and we're all dressed up and we all participate. Beyonce and the Beehive. Both tours generated billions for local economies mostly from women cheering their heroes. No this is good news women. Heroes? Women cheering their heroes. Yep very good I have never been more confident and proud to be in my own skin because of her. And Barbie, not just a Hollywood hit... A cultural conversation! Barbie is like such a strong and empowered woman she has like 90 jobs Good

21:02 She has like 90 jobs. Wow, that's the clip of the year right there. Cultural conversation Barbie is like such a strong and empowered woman she has like 90 jobs. Barbie is empowering yes Yes with the legs that are five times too long from any normal woman With the boobs that are bigger and firmer than any woman and look at her hair Barbie. Good news, speaking of jobs in 2023 America's rate of working women between 25 and 54 hit a record high put him to work and the overall economy inflation is down recession fears fading. No it's not they just actually went up but they don't like to report that. It's bull crap

21:45 Inflation's coming down, recession fears are fading. Nothing to see here! Rack up the credit cards people! Four hit a record high and the overall economy inflation is down recession fears fading We're seeing inflation making real progress these are the things we've been wanting to see Core inflations down to 4% back in January it was 5.6 No Joe! This is cumulative, people! Please explain. I'll pause the clip for this. Barbie shut up you're next Okay, so you have an inflation rate that goes... it went to eight. So it goes to eight and then it goes to five. That doesn't mean inflation is going down. It means you're paying the eight plus the five. And then when it goes from four to three, it's still going up! In other words, its cumulative. So if inflation went up 8% and then it goes up another 4%, it's going up another 4%. And another 3%.

22:44 It goes up and up and up. It's not going, it's not reversing, it's not going back to old prices. It's goin' parabolic man! I mean it is slowing, there's no doubt about that. But it's the rate of increase that's slowing. It's still going up. See? Core inflation's down to 4%. Back in January... Down! ...it was 5.6% No justice! No jeeps! 2023 emboldened workers especially union workers Remember this is the good news segment On strike nurses auto workers Hollywood

23:20 They all picketed a path to a happy ending on payday. We were finally realizing wait We know our worth fans of comeuppance or just telling the truth also hit the jackpot Oh Rudy Giuliani ordered to pay millions for lies told about two Georgia election work news everybody when no good news we got And George Santos, the prince of make-believe. We got that guy! Good news everybody! Drummed out of Congress In entertainment Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win The Best Actress Oscar and a salute to Admiral Lisa Franketti She's the first ever female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

24:05 In sports, the Buffalo Bills' DeMar Hamlin played again in an NFL game 10 months after he nearly died from cardiac arrest on the football field. Good news everybody! The Vax didn't get that one To be able to still do what I love at the highest level in the world is amazing And Brittany Griner playing again in the WNBA after languishing for 10 months in Russian custody. The love from fans when I came out was amazing. Amazing! And finally, 2023 was a great year for ten Americans released last week from Venezuelan custody and five Americans released in September by Iran

24:46 All in time for the holidays. They never mentioned that we got Fat Leonard in that report, did you notice? No... Hey I got a note about Fat Leonard! Yeah I saw it. Should I read that real quick? Yeah go ahead The title of the last show was a sign I needed to donate Oh he's gonna donate It was a dude named Ben stationed on the USS Blue Ridge for two years My job was to help Com 7th Fleet officers learn how to computer Captain David Haas and Commander Michael Misovic work in the department that arranged schedules for all ships in the 7th Fleet. They seemed like nice enough guys, and there wasn't much to tell I got out December 2012 and shortly after this here Fat Leonard story shows up turns out these officers were among the group that diverted ships to ports where old Lenny was able to scam the US government by overcharging for services

25:41 If these officers had shared their money, hotel rooms or hookers with me maybe I could have told them that all of their computer activity was being watched and showed them about this thing called encryption. Oh man! So those guys are the biggest scam in history and they're idiots to boot. They're idiots Well, if anyone thinks they're gonna get away with anything that involves a computer. Yeah Good luck good luck with that and good luck If you think you know how to stop all the record-keeping that's going on in the background good luck Good luck You're not gonna do it good luck And the reason for these giant hard disks by the way big giant double terabytes 10 terabyte

26:24 You know 18 terabyte drives that are 150 bucks now is to keep your shit on keep your stuff It's the keep all they keep all the evidence against you. No way, you don't you never clean the disk? It's all there so you're done did I see that there's a 2 terabyte SD card coming out That's small. Two terabytes? I'm sure there is a two terabyte, there has been two terabyte SD cards Oh really oh i didn't know that! Well the thing now that getting to me is these 18 14-18 terabyte drives for 150 bucks yeah it's ridiculous that's great again that way you don't never clean when I was a kid There we go

27:07 We had like a drive, it was big deal. It was like 10 megabytes and so you know it wasn't good for anything because you had to keep cleaning the disk. You had to spend at least one month out of the year clearing out everything and erasing it because you couldn't keep it anywhere or backing up something else. So everything was... You kept yourself in order but now I'm not. No no. Who knows what's on your disk? While we're at it Jonesy the Vorak, Bay Pride Today's Teddy K. He's an OTG kinda guy Yeah baby! OTG kinda guy Hey but before we go into that Really? You're gonna cut off I wanna push that off and you can play it again But i think i was very misled by the opening of todays show

27:58 Because you said at the opening that you have a Christmas like a classic every year Christmas report Which isn't true. It wasn't true I didn't say I have the reports I didn't say that I said making a list kind of what it was and checking it twice That's what I heard well You heard so you're gonna interrupt my OTG segment which and and I'm looking at the rundown says right here It says, uh... 27 minutes into the show. Start the OTG segment You have it you got your call sheet But no you're gonna inter- That was what I thought was B block Well do it in b block then but okay you're calling an audible? I am because I think that what's the classic Yes I am Is that a sports ball term? There we go! Nailed it nailed it nailed it So.. It's uhh

28:55 This is the NBC, this is what- this is the report that everyone has on Christmas. This is the NBC News NORAD following Santa report! Oh brother... Uh, where is it? I can't see. It's under NBC No it's not under NBC because I'm looking at your clips right now Oh there it is! Yes I got you Finally tonight Santa Claus is putting the final touches on his flight plan for Sunday night and once again he'll be counting on members of the US and Canadian militaries to make sure he has a clear path as he departs North Pole Do the Canadians even celebrate Christmas The remote arctic is more before Trudeau. America's front door and guarding the sprawling expanse from adversaries is the job of the North American Aerospace Defense Command or NORAD, but not every object on NORAD radar is an intruder especially when Santa takes flight on Christmas Eve

29:55 I spoke to Lieutenant General Blaze Frawley to learn more about the critical mission of tracking Santa. Blaze, I know your main job is to protect the North American airspace against intruding aircraft or bad guys Yeah they want to fly into like buildings in New York but how good was that? So how do you use that technology to track Santa Our main job at NORAD is to defend North America with the binational command, US and Canada collectively. Balloons! We use our systems to track Santa. We use our north warning system as well we use worldwide global satellites and finally our fighter aircraft

30:32 NORAD's Santa tracking mission began in 1955 when a child trying to reach Santa instead called an unlisted number for the military's Continental Air Defense Command. The commander on duty, realizing what had happened assured the child they would guarantee Santa a safe journey. This sounds like a bunch of bull crap! Is this the genesis of this thing? I've never heard the Genesis story before. I've never heard this, i thought it was ham radio guys who track Santa And then I'd like to know if these guys are so such hot shots, how did they miss that air balloon that came floating over until it got to Montana? Military industrial complex weaponizing Santa. A promise NORAD has kept every year. Throughout the years many different fighter aircraft have intercepted Santa and we'll normally give him a wing waggle as he... They've intercepted Santa what?!

31:31 Wow. Thank God they didn't shoot him down. Right. I just left a curbstab. Throughout the years, many different fighter aircraft have intercepted Santa and we'll normally give them a wing waggle as we peel off after we've intercepted him. Would you like to know where Santa is right now? Thanks to that technology, millions of kids are able to call in to NORAD's Santa Tracking Hotline or log on via social media for real-time updates making sure Santa is indeed on his way. Wait a minute, of course I didn't see this. Are they taking calls from kids at NORAD? Is that what i was hearing? Somebody's taking calls. Oh man... And they have a website and everything it's pretty interesting It's advanced somewhat since the 50s Yeah because they need to recruit children now when they're six because no one wants to work for these jamokes anymore

32:37 Well, I guess that's the report. I was expecting from you Yeah, you're right now. I fell down on this job man So now I want to go to the otg which by the way usually a second half of show anyway but And just and i don't know I think you're getting a guilty conscience the reason you're bringing this otg up because you know that I Who as of january 1st will have been with actually? To be honest about it since the next Christmas. I will have been without a cell phone in my pocket or any place else for that matter, I have not looked at one for an entire year. Yeah you're amazing

33:20 I am amazing and have not used... And you know what? It didn't make a damn bit of difference in my life. Well, no that's right! You're just as lonely No one visits you. You don't know anybody. But besides that... But besides that, you're winning! No, uh..I need to bring this up because of the previous In that previous note, two people notified me this morning that Prince... Eric Prince the guy from G Academy formerly known as Blackwater. He's rebranded three times. The Blackwater guy? The Blackwater guy. We know him. He's coming out with a phone

34:13 And he's out there shilling the phone. Oh, what a great idea for him! That's an exit strategy for a guy like that Well this is why I wanted to look at it It's the unplugged phone At unplugged dot com Boy they must have paid alot for that domain name But thats a good one Unplugged dot com Yeah, they paid for that. Someone's a lot of money and but I it's $1 million but you know it's like they've got this so it's an Android derivative then I need the dude's name Ben to weigh in on this thing because of course I haven't seen they're using the libert OS libert libert lib hard liber toss lip tart OS which yeah maybe a graphene OS type deal? I don't know

34:58 They're they're also selling you and this is where it gets real sketchy for me. Well, I would before he continue with what you think is sketchy? I think because of his background in intelligence I'm very skeptical Of course especially when he's selling you the UP messenger so you use their special messenger app I don't know what's wrong with signal Signal seems fine to me. And they're selling you a VPN, well that's a big red flag right there! Yeah let's use Eric Prince's VPN... What could go wrong with that? So I want the dude's name Ben to let me know what they think of this

35:41 But it is great. I'd like to know myself because i am going to start using a phone again next year Why? At least for... Well, you're lonely! You're lonely! I knew it! I need to call those girls on the 800 line Boy there's a dated reference It's 900 lines Whatever some line I don't know Well hold on a second I have a clip for you A recent search in general advisory found that lacking social connection can actually increase your risk of death by 60%. Pay attention, pay attention now. Yeah right! It also raises the chances of dementia stroke and heart disease and it can be the equivalent of smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Whoa! This Oreos are bad as cocaine

36:27 You have called this one of the defining issues of our time and usually when a surgeon general declares something an epidemic, we're talking about... you John. That fruity Surgeon General we're dealing with here? Hey who are you calling fruity? Epidemic! We're talking about AIDS for example or cigarettes It's like AIDS That is how severe you believe this is for people. And what could they be talking about? This by the way, and you giving me grief and listening to this...this is all part of a giant scheme to make sure everyone's hooked on one of these stupid phones

37:07 So they feel dependent constantly. This is creating a giant world of dependent people that they can control with the one-world government. John C. Dvorak on fire today! I'm on fire! I had to double hit him, but... Double espresso? The double espresso when I go to this espresso machine and look at it and say Well, do I want to be just regular on the show and have a good time? No. Today I'm going for the double hit because I know it always brings the best out in me. Well, one of things that's really important to recognize is we didn't get here overnight. COVID certainly contributed to this loneliness crisis but it was a problem long before as a result of lesser participation and the community organizations that used to bring us together, rec leagues churches

37:51 synagogues, etc. But also the impact of technology and social media has not always been positive it's often diluted the quality people's relationships taking them from in-person interactions to online interactions this is about quality of friendships quality of interactions not quantity I know they age of social medias convince us that we need thousands of followers and on thousands of friends We do not. It's we just need a few people in our life who see us for who we are, with whom we can be ourselves and who can show up for us in a crisis and hopefully we can do the same for them. Such an important message around the holidays.

38:37 Yeah, well that's a good early plug for the meetups. This show is the antidote to this HIV cigarette cancer they were talking about called loneliness but I think your take is right Well we caught the loneliness trend in the news six months ago It's an op it's an obvious op What's the op designed to do? What's the purpose of the op To make people depressed? Yeah, to make you feel like crap. That would be one. I mean there's a lot of ops playing out right now. There are too many in there and some of them are bumping into each other The Taylor Swift op was ratcheted up a notch This one is getting on my nerves that she brought that clip up

39:21 We've talked a lot about how the Taylor Swift effect is changing the NFL. If you were to look at the video of Taylor Swift watching now her Kansas City Chiefs, it's very clear that the NFL has radicalized Taylor Swift. Ah! The NFL has radicalized Taylor Swift? She was cursing she was yelling she was furious as furious Patrick Mahomes who was spiking his helmet on the ground after he threw two picks in this game It was a home game for Taylor Swift I, you know...I have to say that something is wrong with Taylor Swift because her image is not her using the F word so everybody can see it. And she's very-she's hyper aware of being on camera. Totally So she knows that she's doing this there was something about that that was very very wrong It broke my heart

40:15 I like the crack in your voice. Good, huh? Broke my heart! It was good it's very good yeah There is another part of that loneliness op Is have you been following this beeper iMessage thing No So...I don't think I have a clip of it You wouldn't know this but Thank you Yeah you wouldn't know this But there is a social issue And I even get crap for it from my adult AARP friends, you're the green bubble in our chat group. You're ruining the- you're ruining the chat group

40:55 What? Yes, I thought you wouldn't know. So there's a difference between iPhones when you're text messaging with an iPhone You're no longer going through the SMS short message service system. You're going through iMessage Right and with that with iMessage you can you know, you can delete stuff you can edit stuff You can add stuff you can name your group But if you add one person into the group who has a phone that is on the SMS system, i.e., Atom with Graphene OS, that ruins all the features then it breaks and then because... And you will show up as a green bubble where everyone else is a blue bubble and it's so bad there are people who we've talked about this people will not date someone who has a green bubble If you got Android phone your undateable

41:50 Well, this was years ago we talked about. It's only gotten worse! I would guess 10 years ago when somebody sent us an email saying that they wouldn't date anyone... I think it was Buskill Jr., actually who filled us in on this? It could have been but it was like if you're at the bar and you pull out anything but an iPhone, you're a loser And so the girls wouldn't date these people, but I thought that way by the wayside with the foldables and all the great other phones that are far superior. I might add to the iPhone now this of course this could be iPhone public relations propaganda as possible yeah So this guy came up with an app then he reverse-engineered the iMessage protocol

42:41 And he released this app and Apple of course lost their crap because there goes the whole reason for getting an iPhone. So I actually think that this is Apple propaganda And now the FTC is looking into this guy, you know. The FTC should be looking into Apple! Of course well the EU has now forced Apple's hand and they in the EU in 2024 I think it'll be worldwide they're going to adhere to the RCS standard rich communication services I think so So I think they'll let the Android people, I think they'll still give you a green bubble.

43:22 If I were Apple, that's what I'd do. If I were the horrible people at Apple are, I would give you the functionality. That's actually the right strategy used a new standard but you'd have some other still get a green running underneath that would let you know it was coming from a loser from a loser. It's a green bubble. Yeah, that's what I would do exactly what I would do so yeah people If this is important in your life, then if they're... and I've given my friends grief about this. You're a horrible person when you say that! My pastor he's like we're in a group message with him like you're a horrible person Pastor! You shouldn't be complaining about my green bubble-ness it's really bad

44:05 This sounds terrible. Oh, I see the triggering mechanism here What's the triggering mechanism? That your pastor has rebuked you He threw in a quick smiley wink emoji Yeah that is a rebuke from Pastor I knew it was all okay But this is seriously If your pastor listened to this show oh absolutely I doubt it. Oh, absolutely loves the show yes he loves This is where we send you an email saying quantum 5 which will be the code word. I just gave quantum 5 okay Don't repeat it. I won't make sure that he Here's how here's how I connected with the pastor

44:55 When he was over at our house for the first time when Phoebe bit his wife, that was cool. This is before we sent her away to the boot camp. Did you say bit? Oh yeah! That's when Phoebe went away for three weeks You know, so we didn't really know them. And so like oh the pastor and his wife coming over for dinner and then were sitting there and I said hey you Know what? I wanted to say is I really loved your service this morning What came out was I really love your show and he cracked up But and then we realized that we actually both are doing shows and there's a lot of similarities between them Pastor John huh just saying

45:39 Yeah, well I don't want to be blasphemous so as far as i'm concerned we're doing a podcast and that's that. Let's be blasphemous for a moment then. The European Union is squaring up to porn sites saying some companies have to follow the strictest level of the EU's new digital rulebook that means they'll have to beef up measures aimed at policing illegal content and protecting minors it won't we welcome news for platforms like Pornhub, it says it doesn't have enough users who deserve that level scrutiny. The newly listed platforms will follow Elon Musk's ex- which Brussels suspects isn't doing enough to clamp down on disinformation. After all, if tech firms are found to be in breach of the EU's rules they could face fines up to 6% of revenue or be banned from the bloc for repeat offences. Brussels is just getting started with enforcement so we've yet to see just how tough the laws are in practice or what they mean for businesses The European Union says platforms can run from new rules but they cant hide. The EU has lost man... Lost!

46:41 They have no free speech. It's gone, it's gone! I like the way they happen too they just kind of put up with it You have always been a pushovers. I mean, that's why there's all those wars that break out every you know so often with the one German country beating up the other one and then all hell breaks loose in their World War And it spreads all over the place those guys are horrible they're hopeless the worst thing they don't even realize What's going on? They don't they didn't even know about the Digital Services Act They don't even know what's going on with them That's the thing

47:18 It's like, what? What we can't say that. We have to register for porn by taking a picture of my face? When did that happen because you know Brussels is people think well of course the UK is different. The UK has its own issues but they're still part of it there's only broke away and Kind of a fake way. I think the whole thing is wait until Nigel Farage comes back He's gonna run. Well, he's making a movie He's fronting for someone else who knows who? I have a I have a three by three Oh Three by three Experiment by JCD comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC

48:10 The never-ending story. That's right, John's got three stories from three networks Let's see what the script is today Are they all the same? Did they are in a collusion did they get their talking points from the White House or so from the intelligence agencies it is your 3x3 Well I have to say that Thank you for the intro. You're welcome. I have to say that our producer Jones that finds these Steve the clip clip collector yes Steve our buddy yeah It's like, I'm kind of surprised. Yes, I'm surprised that I stopped doing this myself because it's more apparent than ever that is like the same newsroom these stories are structured to say this certain two three networks that are supposedly in competition with each other and the three networks put together the exact and this is goes on and now we're just one story.

49:07 He sent, he sends different samples of different examples. Hold on a second! No wonder I'm getting fewer clips from him. Is he like? Oh this is so much easier to do the three by three for John. I can just needle drop on that stuff. I just needle drop it boom there it is boom there it is boom there it is. Yeah, I think it's true. I think he himself is stunned by the stupidity of these three networks, these major networks worldwide and international. These networks are playing us

49:48 exactly the same story. So somebody else is doing the stories, they're not doing it let's start with this is about the SCOTUS denial of Trump... The trials yeah Not the files, the fast tracking of the trial. Fast tracking exactly let's start with NBC Tonight the US Supreme Court handing Donald Trump the practical victory he wanted punting for now on a legal issue that could make or break the federal case that accuses him of plotting to overturn the last election The high court declining the special counsel's request to answer right now whether Mr. Trump is immune from prosecution, a lower court concluding the presidency doesn't confer a lifelong get out of jail free pass, a decision Mr. Trump had appealed arguing complete immunity for

50:39 anything that happened while he was in office. That led prosecutors to ask the Supreme Court to step in and quickly resolve the issue now, today's decision all but guaranteeing the existing trial date set for March will slip All this as the prosecution's hand is strengthened on a different front. The Detroit News reporting it reviewed audio recordings of Mr Trump pressing two local Republican officials not to certify the 2020 election results in Wayne County, Michigan telling them we can't let these people take our country away from us. He thanked me for my service

51:16 asked me how I was doing. NBC News has not heard or verified the audio, the Trump campaign maintains the former president was focused on election integrity The call itself only described benignly by one of those local officials at that time Are you saying the President's call had no influence on you recamping your vote? Absolutely Wow! So there is NO story They have no evidence No call No-one saying it's an outrage They got nothing. No, they do have the same quote everyone uses which is Trump. Trump said that we have to take back our country you're gonna hear that was NBC you're going to hear ABC and this is going to be I would say you'd think it was the same exact report they have the same cutaway to this bullcrap recording

52:10 Everything's in the same order. This is unbelievable to me. Tonight a legal victory for former President Donald Trump, in one sentence order the US Supreme Court says it will stay out of the federal election interference case against him until a lower court decides whether he's immune from prosecution for crimes he allegedly committed while he was an office Special counsel Jack Smith had asked the justices to move fast and bypass a federal appeals court. Today's decision almost certainly means Trump's trial, currently scheduled to begin March 4th will be delayed. Trump faces conspiracy and obstruction charges for plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The special counsel said Trump used deceit toward state officials to subvert the legitimate election results

52:53 And tonight a new report claiming to show how deeply engaged Trump was in efforts to cling to power. The Detroit News reports he interviewed a recording of Trump on the phone with two Republicans on the Wayne County Board of Canvassers, pressuring them not to certify Joe Biden's victory in Michigan. The paper says Trump told the two canvassers Monica Palmer and William Hartman they'd look terrible if they signed the certification and pro trumped telling them we can't let these people take our country away from us Republican chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, who was on the same call reportedly said do not sign it. We will get you attorneys Trump adding we'll take care of that ABC News has not independently confirmed the report neither Trump nor McDaniel disputed the paper's characterization of the call Palmer did not respond to our request for comment Hartman died in 2021 The pressure campaign did not work but canvassers ultimately certified the election for Biden

53:45 Trump spokesman says the former president's actions were taken in furtherance of his duty as president to ensure election integrity. McDaniel said the call reflects her belief there was ample evidence that warranted an audit, the call fits a pattern of Trump strong-arming state officials to change the 2020 election results like he has called Georgia Secretary of State I love that pressure strong arming me what is I'm gonna shoot you and arrest you What is this? That's mafias, mafia practices man rights. Hitler! Hitler did that You'll notice the structure of that story is identical Exactly the same Exactly the same and how does that happen I would like to Almost the same length John these clips are almost all the same length Well these have been cut back These were edited down to the same lenght I have this...I tell Jones you know hey

54:35 We can't go over two minutes. These guys, the Joneses, Clip Collector and Clip Custode... You know they have a Discord? They share together so they don't overlap clips. They're managing us! They probably both work for some agency. For Poolboy. The Jones Brothers! So the point is that this is ridiculous, these reports. And they have the same structure almost... I mean it's just like how does that happen on two independent newsrooms? It can't happen unless you're being guided by above.

55:15 Now, I will mention that when this first came up probably a month ago that they were at this Joker was going to send us to the Supreme Court directly. I said on this show that they're not going to accept this because the Supreme Court in this case definitely wants it to go through some lower systems. It has to be you just can't go from zero to the Supreme Court. I can take my parking ticket to the Supreme Court because I want to So, this is a foregone conclusion. Nobody mentions that they don't nobody in any of these three reports even discusses the mechanism here or reads the one terse line saying

55:57 to send it back. They all tell you about the Supreme Court in one sentence, send it back but they never read us the sentence here we go now now we go to CBS with Robert Costa and it's going to be a little... Always different. They change up a bit but they don't change it up in this case they don't change it up enough and they don't bring in anything new. Today's Supreme Court order could delay the March 2024 start of Trump's trial on charges of interfering in the 2020 presidential election The immunity issue will be heard by an appeals court in the second week of January

56:35 and now a potentially stunning development. The Detroit News reports it has heard of recording of a November 17th 2020 phone call where Trump pressures two Wayne County officials. Hold on, who heard that? I'm gonna listen to that again. A recording of a November... I'll back it up a second. Detroit News. Oh Detroit News. It's a newspaper guy! Supposedly heard a recording now. Now I have to say this CBS is the only one who refuses to say we can't verify The other two networks say we can't verify this recording or that it even exists CBS just passes it through as though It exists for sure, or we could actually say without evidence

57:16 Without evidence. CBS reported without evidence. Development, the Detroit News reports it has heard a recording of a November 17th 2020 phone call where Trump pressures two Wayne County officials Monica Palmer and William Hartman to not certify the 2020 election The paper also says Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel was on the call. If you go home tonight, do not sign it! The paper reports McDaniel told the officials We will get you attorneys Trump told them to fight said it would be terrible if they certified Wait stop hold on

57:55 Now, you have to pull it back a little bit. I have to say that having listened to this for the umpteenth time...I would say this was new information because what he said was that it was McDan- Ronna McDaniels who's the one who pressured them not sign Trump! Not Trump! Exactly Now this wasn't, this was okay. But this is interesting so I can continue sorry go home tonight do not sign it the paper reports McDaniel told the officials we will get you attorneys Trump told them to fight said it would be terrible if they certified and said they must not let these people take our country away from us

58:34 The call was detailed in the House Select Committee's January 6th report, but the existence of audio was not previously known. In the report Palmer told investigators she could not recall what exactly Trump said or if he raised election issues Palmer has said she was trying to protect the vote. Make sure every vote is counted whether it's a Republican or Democrat A Trump spokesman said Trump's actions were within his duty as president and an attempt to ensure election integrity In a statement McDaniels said that at the time there was ample evidence that warranted an audit

59:18 Special Counsel Jack Smith has been investigating how Trump worked to throw President Biden's victory into doubt and spark chaos during the congressional certification, often by leaning on Republicans in key states to declare Trump the victor. Smith's office declined to comment. Weak! He declined to comment... Okay yeah exactly the same report this I mean, this is really... they're reporting on the Detroit Herald. What was it? The Detroit News. So they're commenting on something they read online. Oh, I see a tweet from them. No no! All of their reports say that they heard the tape, the news somehow—I don't know who at the news, they never say—it's not the whole operation obviously but they said that they heard

1:00:11 tape and that's the breaking news of this tape exists. Oh, that's like the Pee Tape and all the other tapes they had of Trump Yeah And if it's such a why didn't why doesn't Detroit News post the tape? Yeah exactly how hard can that be they have a website They could post the tape well heard this is just what they heard yeah did someone just play it over the phone This is bullcrap. Yeah Well in this vein with Former President Trump being taken off the Colorado ballot. I think it's time to go to our friends You take him off the ballot of protected democracy

1:00:56 Elitist Voices of America. This is NPR or PBS. It's actually NPR and it is clearly the B team, the B Team is loose because everyone's off for Christmas holiday so we can just go crazy and we can just say whatever we want! Violent rhetoric is raging in some corners of the internet... I mean come on when you start a report with Violent rhetoric is raging. I mean that's good stuff, that script writing! The news would be no violent rhetoric was raging on parts of the internet That would be actual news It's Chad GPT writing their scripts Violent rhetoric is raging in some corners of the internet after this week's... Some corners of the internet? Okay So what does a corner of the Internet? Just to be nitpicky about it

1:01:46 What does that mean? There is no such thing as a corner of the internet. Well, in some corners there's not just a corner there are some corners. It was more than eight corners but maybe multiple corners. But they can only be four How many corners? Well technically... Yeah, you can only have four. No! You could have a what about you had a hexagonal room?! Oh okay then you got multiple corners. You got wedges. Violent rhetoric is raging in some corners of the internet after this week's historic ruling from the Colorado Supreme Court. After judges barred Donald Trump from the state's primary ballot some supporters of the former president are fuming over the decision. Fuming!?

1:02:21 I'm fuming. Fuming! And have begun circulating personal information about Colorado Supreme Court justices who ruled against Trump. Some are even calling for civil war. Ah, there it is. Some are calling for civil war over Colorado. Anything going on in Colorado really? Let me guess this has to be far right is the far right how far NPR domestic extremism correspondent.

1:03:08 So how much domestic extremism is this person covering? Enough to have a title, enough to get paid to do this on a regular basis. That's gotta be a great business card! What do you do I'm the domestic extremism correspondent for NPR your national treasure Wow, nice to meet you. Wait until you hear this jabroni. Are even calling for civil war. NPR domestic extremism correspondent Odette Yousef is here to tell us more. Odette? Odette Yousef! I was reading some of this, Odette and I thought oh i've seen all this before and then I thought to myself that's not good That's not good because you know, because I'm gonna editorialize everything cuz no one's listening Yeah, I mean on some of these far-right platforms this kind of talk is right. Hold on far right platforms That would be Fox I'm thinking X rumble Oh xx and rumble rumble brighteon

1:04:05 Yeah, yeah and bitch shoot. Bitch shoot! Yeah I mean on some of these far-right platforms this kind of talk is everyday stuff Listen to the editorializing. It's everyday stuff, it's my job on the far right corner platform domestic terrorist extremist correspondent. It's every day stuff. Ah, my job! So hard." Yeah I mean A.) On some of these far-right platforms this kind of talk is everyday stuff But when there are events that affect Trump adversely, whether it's an indictment or say the search of his property at Mar-a-Lago, it spikes. And so this time we're seeing claims online that this is a Democratic Party conspiracy to interfere in the election. We're seeing calls to arm up or to hurt or even kill perceived political foes. Arm Up!

1:05:00 You know, so far people monitoring these spaces say they're not seeing indications of a credible or imminent threat. Well but hold on a second! Then what's the story? Arm up Civil War but so far people monitoring these spaces isn't that your job correspondent?! This is confusing, but they also caution that this doesn't mean it should be ignored. So yeah authorities still want to be watchful then? Oh yeah of course I mean you may recall after the Mar-a-Lago search for example Online rhetoric heated up and there was an individual who attacked in FBI field office in Cincinnati And so it is important to understand how the baseline threat level is evolving was that guy left winger oh

1:05:41 Wasn't there no connection between the field office in Cincinnati? What's that got to do with anything in Florida? I don't think it was like some place some screwball. No, I don't remember even that story Do you remember something somebody did you threw a brick through the window or something like that well There's a second part to this. It just gets better! You know, one person I spoke to who has been keeping an eye on this online activity is Daniel J Jones he's with the nonpartisan nonprofit Advanced Democracy. Oh yeah right. Well there's a front organization if you've ever heard of it. Let's just take a look. Advanced Democracy let's do this in real time.

1:06:23 Advanced Democracy Inc. is an independent nonpartisan not-for-profit organization that conducts public interest research... Yeah, nonpartisan my ass! Let's just take a look let's see do they have they don't even where is it? Where's their about? Where's there a boot page? They don't even have on a boot of course not please wait hold on Their boot is ActBlue That's what I'm thinking now I've gone to the dashboard For advanced democracy, let's see. Tracking political donations in the complex US campaign finance system? That's what they do? Search by... Oh man! So they basically just open OpenSecrets.org They just take from their stuff This is a lame looking website This is weak

1:07:11 This is weak. So, but I mean how to- How are they a source? Yeah! But let's see... They do climate and it looks like a fake web. These guys don't even look real. They have a Climate and Environment Programme Government Accountability Corruption Programme Global, oh global extremism program. We work to- That must be it Oh here it is! We worked to identify and document the growth reach and influence of violent extremist groups as well as political rhetoric in the United States and Europe targeting communities of color immigrants the LGBTQ population and religious minorities, that's me. That has contributed to a surge in global hate crimes. Hold on hold on a second advance now we've got to do this one last second if they're non-profit then they have advanced democracy then they have uh let's see advanced democracy okay let's see then they have a oh where are they that's funny

1:08:15 Advanced Democracy Inc. Okay, they got 2.3 million dollars in 2022 so I'll have to look at their 990s see what they're up to They have 4 point...they've 5 million dollars in assets Let me tell you that's more than this show Yep. So anyway, let's continue he says he's not just watching the uptick in violent language I think it's equally concerning that we're not seeing pushback against this language We're not seeing push back against dehumanizing language from presumptive Republican nominee We're not seeing push back from language from political leaders on the right What do you mean? We're not saying push back the mainstream media went ape crap over this

1:08:58 Oh, he said vermin. Oh, he quoted Hitler! He's parroting Putin What do you mean we're not seeing pushback? What are you talking about dude? I heard it...I was listening to somebody on one of these networks And she actually said that was a quote, which we debunked already and I didn't get the clip. But she says it was a quote from Mein Kampf Yes We looked at Mein Kampf. We got our own personal copies out Yeah you can get on the PDF and do a search It's not in there I have in here on the bookshelf right next to... You can search the PDF faster Right next to the manifesto from the Unabomber Come on people! You gotta read all that stuff We're seeing mainstreaming of this extremism and this encouragement of violence from right-wing media

1:09:40 And I hear this across the board when I speak to extremism researchers. What they're concerned about is violence from the right, and they say that... By the way, stop it again! This idea that there's getting no pushback is... is really getting on my nerves, because all you get is pushback. Trump says the minor thing in ad-libbing a speech in Iowa and they jump all over him These people are either living in an unbelievable... What they mean by no pushback They mean that the entire country doesn't rebuke Trump And his numbers go to zero Yes correct Correct Hold on a second Let me look at this lady

1:10:24 Odette Yusuf. Here she is, Odette Yusuf let me see what her deal is. She's a domestic... oh there it is NPR she has a page Domestic Extremism Correspondent. It says that on there? Says that right on her page Odette Youssef is a national security correspondent focusing on extremism. All right, but it says domestic extremism correspondent in her reporting Youssef claims to explore claims aims to explore how extremist ideas break into the mainstream Yeah on NPR how individuals are radicalized and efforts to counter that well so far We haven't heard any of that she comes from WBEZ in Chicago

1:11:06 where she most recently was part of the Race, Class and Identity team. She must have dynamite business cards! I'm part of the Race, Class and Identity Team also known as RCI while there she was a reporter for Host and host for season three of WBEZ's investigative podcast Motive it won the 2021 Edward R Murrow Award Wow A podcast? Yes Explores the emergence and spread of the neo-nazi skinhead movement in the US. I haven't seen a skinhead probably for 20 years. It's been awhile since i've seen any skinheads! You see them on TV shows... Those guys at January 6th, the feds they were skinhead kind of guys They all had the same crew cut shortcut Yeah those guys are the skinheads She was also part of the team that in 2016 won The National Edward R Moore Award for Best Continuing Coverage and receives A 2018 Studs Terkel Community Media Award

1:12:08 She's an award winner. She's also on IMDB by the way Oh is she now? So you can go there and she does have the motive podcast series listed from 2019 And that's all she's going to think she's really got on there, but it just shows you that people that executive produce our show can get on here too. Yeah, so she's no better than you people is what we're saying. What they are concerned about is violence from the right and they say that if high profile figures would just clearly disavow that violence that some are calling for it could really help bring the temperature down. But everyone is... High-profile figures need to disavow that violent rhetoric that is raging

1:12:53 Well, that's all I ever hear. What violent rhetoric? From Trump! Vermin! What he say vermin and so we have to... It's not doing anything. Who are they kidding, these people? But when it comes to this ruling in Colorado... I mean many are expecting that the ruling from that court may not be the final word on this or any acknowledgement of that. No! Yes. In fact, I spoke with Catherine Keneally of another organization, The Institute for Strategic Dialogue. Oh, another one. Institute for Strategic Dialogue. Let's see, let's see ISD global dot org all right a boot they got an aboot page power oh here's their slogan powering solutions to extremism hate and disinformation they got solutions

1:13:52 They have solutions. Yeah, and I'm noticing that looks like the code base for this particular website is very similar to the one you just used. Okay so let me look at their donate page... Let's see what they have.... You can donate in US dollars? Oh, they have a oh they've got all kinds of you can donate in euro. This is a big outfit man No this this outfit is much bigger than that other one there was a front for these are the dudes These these are big guys. Yeah, these are guys let me just see Let's look at their board for a second which is to make sure we we can see I got UK board mom where's our? Oh uk and Germany

1:14:35 Interesting. Yeah, in fact I have this website site is in German yeah, yeah They got oh they home and they got a lot of a lot of Germans. I don't see any Any funny names that we read these are a lot of white women here You know what? They're racist they got no black people Oh There's one some means era the youth civic action coordinator Wow there's a racist outfit They have no people of color. And she said she noticed this, we did also see a large number of people post statements that they weren't concerned because they believe that the US Supreme Court is going to shoot it down anyways so oh my god anyways anyways where are you from?

1:15:20 A common refrain that I started seeing was the use of nothing burger, not even accent violence. You know, this is still very concerning to people who care about democracy. Right? Because right now, you know, even when let's take people's name off the ballot, that's that spells democracy Even absent violence, you know this is still very concerning to people who care about democracy right because even when threats of violence against judges voters really anyone participating in civic life become normal that can have a chilling effect. You know obviously I read the New York Times like all day long mainly on my iPad app

1:16:04 So Tina, yesterday. She says you know I was watching an interview with Whitney Webb and she's kind of saying the same thing you are said nope! Nope! And so we sit down to watch it and she's been making the rounds and spoiler alert neither of us like Whitney Webb and so i'm watching this and she literally talks out of the side of her mouth now this is new She's talking. It's been developing it wasn't that way this now it says he has this continuous smirk and I'm not sure why people are so enamored with it because she's not really saying anything other than well they're gonna bring in the CVDC to control everybody through a cyber event with the banks and it's all planned through the WEF,

1:15:20 A common refrain that I started seeing was the use of nothing burger, not even accent violence. You know, this is still very concerning to people who care about democracy. Right? Because right now, you know, even when let's take people's name off the ballot, that's that spells democracy Even absent violence, you know this is still very concerning to people who care about democracy right because even when threats of violence against judges voters really anyone participating in civic life become normal that can have a chilling effect. You know obviously I read the New York Times like all day long mainly on my iPad app

1:16:04 So Tina, yesterday. She says you know I was watching an interview with Whitney Webb and she's kind of saying the same thing you are said nope! Nope! And so we sit down to watch it and she's been making the rounds and spoiler alert neither of us like Whitney Webb and so i'm watching this and she literally talks out of the side of her mouth now this is new She's talking. It's been developing it wasn't that way this now it says he has this continuous smirk and I'm not sure why people are so enamored with it because she's not really saying anything other than well they're gonna bring in the CVDC to control everybody through a cyber event with the banks and it's all planned through the WEF,

1:17:01 And so we're watching and I said, well let me see what you're looking at. She was on Jimmy Dore but this was a different one this week oh this was Peter McCormick from what Bitcoin did he's a big bitcoin guy nice guy i've been on the show couple times But every five seconds, Whitney's going right? Yeah. We're just gonna be a shy revenge with the West, right?" And so I go, right and then Gina says that's it! I'm not watching with you anymore! She can't handle how you hate her. They don't hate her. No we don't hate her. Don't hate her but she... You know she's derivative. She doesn't even live in the United States and she's making, doing this analysis to

1:17:43 So she's not in the milieu, so she can't pick up on anything going on. And everything she's done somebody else has done before and when people call her out and I have a website that keeps sending people to it don't have any handy. That busts her because it was an old Whitney Webb fan that found that she won't You know that she's actually ruined people. She's not a good person, you know? And then she keeps going on and on about they want to control us by making it forcing us to use our real government ID for social media and they want to control you. Then up, then you'll sign up for the Internet at home and then they'll know everything you're watching. Hello! Where have you been?!

1:18:32 It's just like, you know and I don't want to pick on her but crikey man. It's like it's like the redacted people No, not interested in the redacted people either And I'm kind of down on all of these info mavericks and there you go again Yes Well because now people are saying your you're just crapping all over them who should who should we do our urine? You know what hater? I'm a hater. They're right You're a hater and you're crapping all over the good people like Whitney Webb, Tim Pool and all the rest of these guys who are just trying to straighten people out. They mean well! Well they do mean well. They absolutely mean well I think they do mean well But it's like listening to Twitter all day It's nothing new... By the way Do they mean well? Or is it part of something bigger

1:19:28 And they don't mean well. Well, John at Dvorak dot org on that one... This is suggesting the possibility exists! No one's getting paid you know if I'm like Whitney Webb comes from a billionaire family she's connected to the Rockefellers whatever. Does she? Who cares no one's getting paid to do this Yeah, well they are. By the way... They're getting paid to keep you afraid and keep you focused on stupid stuff all day long. Yes, they're doing a good job of that. I would actually unfortunately put your buddy Alex Jones in that category Speaking of! But before we go there, I want to go back to this-I just stumbled upon this ISD page? One of their big things is to push back against if you remember

1:20:18 The Reich Reichsburger movement. Oh, it was Germans of course that was the German attempt to attempt to overturn Germany's government by some one guy who happened to be a vet 70 year old guys at some 70 year old guy and so that's all part of the so this is part this is a one world government operation I'm telling you Well, yes. I mean well the thing is you just got to follow the money if Whitney Webb has a non-profit then then i'll say okay she's in on it but she's not but she's that's like Ava van der Laar um you know the the blonde girl? I mean what...she's uniquely beautiful to look at and so which one who? The Dutch girl Ava! You know she's married to some guy from PragerU she's in that whole group

1:21:08 I don't know her. Yes you do, she was on Tucker, yes you do! And so she's at the turning point USA and saying your rights are given by God and everyone is like ohhh she's the best Oh, she's Joan of Arc. I think most of these guys are... what they're saying is already printed on the dollar bill! It's not like it's new information No but that's my point is everyone was like yeah and all you're doing is sitting around in a circle jerk going yeah You know, go to your local community. Run for school board run for city council do something productive These people are distracting you I love Alex Jones I always will then he taught me a lot He's been right about a lot before we did the show I was listening to him But when you put him together with Mike Adams you get dynamite dynamite content all of you watching and listening We're all gonna have to become experts at frankly

1:22:08 Killing the Terminator robots that are trying to kill us. That's the way the world works for survival of the fittest The globals are gonna deploy this and see what happens yes, this is a big contest It's been decided we're gonna face the machines mother sabotage the military with wokeness getting humans out So only drones can fight the wars because they'll follow orders And you're not going to be able to out-shoot a Terminator ballistically because they will have built in ballistic software. They'll be able to outrange you with rifles, they'll have of course infrared cameras and so on that will see you at night so you don't go out at night trying to fight the Terminator What you do is set traps for it where it can't anticipate what's going to happen

1:22:47 There's going to be a whole field of knowledge about how to kill Terminators. You're going to have autonomous flying drones making decisions about who to bomb and who to kill, you're going to have autonomous dog drones and also I call them Terminator squirrels believe it or not because Squirrel the size of a squirrel is actually the best size on a battlefield Because it can go up in a tree and it can traverse a forest by leaping from tree to tree And it's very hard to stop and they can carry about 100 gram explosive so these terminator squirrels I'm not making this that's mainstream as you Terminator squirrels will be programmed to seek out enemy soldiers to leap into their faces and

1:23:27 and then detonate in their face a small charge that's enough to kill them like a small grenade okay so those are going to be unleashed on the battlefield very very soon in the coming few years. Squirrel! I can't wait it's coming holy moly where'd you get that? Somebody sent it to you. I think the Clip Custodian sent this. We have maniacs that listen to this, that is... You're right! That's kind of a critical massive craze those two together It was on the Joneses Discord i think that's where that came from but so all I'm saying is

1:24:05 You can't even get these autonomous things to go more than a, you know, two feet before the battery goes dead. Did you see Elon Musk's Optimum version 2? It's a robot that walks like it has to take a dump! They all have that... All the robots I've seen, Sony robots, most of them I've seen have to walk like they're gonna take a dump or they'll fall over You know, I said just beware of false idols people. Be careful with your amygdala and be careful with your mind because that's the danger... All these people are great! A squirrel jumping onto your face and then detonating? Individually, I mean... Could you duck it maybe? Could you duck the squirrel? Jordan Peterson individually these people they're okay but they get into this like... And everyone gets spun up

1:24:59 to just get spun up. They're like, easy does it? Read a book! Now this is... So now we have the following. This is a great A great hit piece which was sent to me is, oh! Great Nikki Haley supercut. How she's full of crap and she contradicts herself." Well this is clearly from Team MAGA they have hacked the- I mean... I'm certainly not a Nikki Haley fan. I think it's hilarious that there's rumor going around that Trump is talking to people hey should I make her my VP? Please. Yeah that'll be the day That's not gonna happen

1:25:36 I mean, she would have a knife in his back within two seconds. But then they put together... And by the way before you play this clip i want to say that I put it in the newsletter and I'm going to use it as a theme for next year Trump and whoever the geniuses are that work on his campaign will be developing all kinds of, you know, I think this is the reason they came up with all these I think the Democrats know this and we hear a lot about, oh misinformation disinformation. AI is going to kill us all! Yeah. AI is going to be used by Trump and his boys and the rest of them in memes included. I got the meme alert out to kick ass and it's gonna be a year of hilarity because like you said... You agree with me on this one thing about AI? It's funny

1:26:23 Oh, but that's the business model. What is the business model of AI? It's comedy! It's hilarious. The stuff that they're doing with existing AI you don't need anything more than what's out there already You know we can already kind of do video and do voices and as far as I'm concerned you can stop the development although Wow, OpenAI John is now in talks to raise funding at a $100 billion valuation. But now we see what's really going on and you know what the money is for? It is to... so they're raising funding with Abu Dhabi based G42 for a new chip venture that's... We talked about this that's where the money is compute let's make

1:27:12 crazy big things to take a lot of processing power, tell people it's great and then sell the chips that do it. Yeah yeah and then soak the well you won't be soaking investors will be soaking the public when you go public anyway. Global warming be damned! Anyway... There is a good point And here's the Nikki Haley hit piece supercut. A huge issue that I'll deal with as soon as i get there is social media. They need to verify every single person on their outlet because and I want it by name. I never said government should go and require anyone's name. That's false! I think China has been a really great friend of ours, yes I view China as an enemy

1:28:16 That was not what I intended to say. I do not think we need to pull money from the UN The UN, the only thing is that we would defund the UN as much as possible When a 12 year old child in this country assigned female at birth says actually I feel more comfortable living as boy What should the law allow the response to be? I think the law should stay out of it and i think parents should handle us. I think there should be federal involvement you should not have any gender altering anything done to a child before the age of 18 So, im just gonna defend Nikki Haley a bit here these are clips that are taken out of context really an if your really honest troll like she's liar now if you really listen to it

1:29:02 If you really listen to how this was cut, I mean this is like man on the street stuff. Don't be fooled by this don't be fooled by this but this is cut together to make her look worse than she already is and again would never vote for her if she's if she would beat Trump's...if I was gonna vote for Trump and she was the VP I wouldn't vote for Trump. I agree with that That's a bad idea so anyway it's just we're being hoodwinked by the internet But that's the whole idea. Oh man, The Washington Post ran a long article on Sam Altman and I'm surprised that they don't realize themselves They are hyping this guy up in exactly the same way they did to Sam Bankman Freed

1:29:54 I mean, stuff like how Sam Altman took over Silicon Valley from powerful friends to open AI. And they say things like you could drop him on an island of cannibals and within five years he'd be king! Oh please... Who wrote this? One of his PR people? That's interesting let me see if there is a byline here Gerrit de Vink and Kat Zawarski reporting. I don't know who they are. Two people? Two people, yes. How does it take two people? There's stuff in here like... You know, I had a private meeting with Sam and he was on two phones at the same time He is very introverted He throws parties And then he has like an internal clock He knows it's time to retreat to his room

1:30:48 He's not a schmoozer. Here, to some Altman could be awkward even anti-social Even when he throws a party he retreats into his room pretty quickly He has a timer or social clock where he needs to stop socializing said investor Lackey Lackey Lackey groom A close friend? He is not a schmoozer Another close friend Investor Keith Rabois Recalled how when he first met Alban, he spent their first hangout glued to two different phones. Oh! He's so introverted...He is so smart!! If you're an introvert, you're not on two phones let me tell you right now. I never met anyone as smart as Sam said Senator Kirsten Sinema You're right this sounds exactly like Bankman Freed This is Kirsten Sinema Are you sure you are reading the right thing there? Yes different Sam He's an introvert and shy and humble And all of those

1:31:39 are things that are not normal for people on the hill, but he's very good at forming relationships with people on the hill and he can help folks in government understand AI. I thought he wasn't a schmoozer? Somethings up! Oh yes... But this is just it was dripping with goo this entire article. Well what's up is they're hyping this they're just hyping it Yeah but why what's going on there's another op The stock market, that's all they got. They need a story of this... It was Sam Bankman-Fried when it was blockchain! This is what I keep telling you. Quantum computing is next the pivot has come. No, its not. Its done over. When the next thing comes along we'll both have our eye out for it and when the next big thing which is always a Silicon Valley

1:32:34 Derisive term used for Silicon Valley the next big thing is when it comes around we'll notice it Probably within a week or two of it happening, and then well we can point to it. Well at this moment I'm still on ICIC little green shoots of quantum computing bullcrap. I see yeah It's trying to survive Then have a question here for you two lawmakers filed a bill requiring creators of foundation models you know, foundation models are I guess something more important than LLMs. To disclose sources of training data so copyright holders know their information was taken? Here's my question when i write something and I put it on the internet and I published on my blog

1:33:22 Mm-hmm. The minute I wrote that, I have copyright on that correct or not? Under the new law yes and you don't even have to declare it its automatic So by definition unless I've given my rights up to let's say X because when I post on x I've already agreed that they have a an unlimited license anything I do forever then they can't use my training data or my data for training purposes of their foundation models. Why? Because they're going to have a bill requiring creators of foundation models to disclose sources of training data so copyright holders know that information was taken. So, your information actually taken is just read by machine. Well I mean...I read your...for example, i'm kind of on the other side of this argument

1:34:21 Because I've always been annoyed by the fact that early on in the 70s and then into the 80's people were talking about all the great things that could happen when all of the data is accumulated into some giant library, all the books of the world. And all the knowledge can be accessed and it became a buzz phrase information at your fingertips. Information superhighway! And there was the, well the information superhighway's part of that. And so you had all this and then once Google started scanning books everybody started squealing like stuck pigs about it. I scanned my book! You know your out-of-print book from 40 years ago got scanned by Google and you're upset about it because you're gonna lose money somehow? You're not gonna make a nickel anyway

1:35:07 And so I noticed that there's this kind of, you know, this back and forth and whether this is good for society or bad for society. I personally think it's good for society that everything gets scanned into some giant database. Okay all right well then enjoy your AI! Your chat GPT is dynamite, all good. I never said anything about... what you're doing is extrapolating a simple comment by me into something that's got nothing to do with anything. That's what I do best. I'm not enjoying my chat GPT. I don't even use it! I don't use chat GBT

1:35:46 Oh, I love people who send me emails. Hey man you have no idea how good it is at coding yeah you're a script guy and i'm sure but it's not going to optimize the next mac os for the new chips it's not gonna... No it doesn't JC who works in this industry And he's an AI. He says it's nonsense, he says you still get better code from Pakistan and they do lousy coding. He says it's cheaper and better to get real life coders and maybe the AI can clean up some stuff that might be or might optimize something on the side but it can't write code from scratch is no good. No I think your code is going to be the same as it writes English flowery

1:36:31 In an ever-expanding world where podcasting... I've met a comic strip blogger who is, you know he has a career now in this stuff. And he keeps saying oh look what chatgpt4 said about podcasting 2.0 like well you know a 12 year old could have written that so what? It pulls and whenever it's from Grok I recognize the tweets. It's like, oh this...I recognize that tweet that tweet that tweet. I recognize because if it's about me like Oh look what Grok said about you! I put Grok into funny mode. Grok is the worst kind because its AI can't even do humor right so anyway people will call me a luddite

1:37:25 You are a Luddite. Dude, say what you will! I'm not afraid of you. Use that clip at the beginning or put it under this. Yeah, yeah...I already clapped it. I'll do it again hold on. YOU my frie- nah never mind I'm gonna ham it up. Gonna ruin it. Nah just try one more time. No wonder I can't get work. Go and go and go! You're a Luddite! Nice okay I will be sure not to use that alright Okay I got some stuff here that we need to talk about. Okay good Well, first of all you know I had this thesis about that. First of all thank you and thank you for joining me today for our Christmas Eve yeah we could be doing lots of things if we work for CBS Yeah people should need to be reminded at that Here we are We're warning you were helping you or spinning you down on Christmas Eve I should be drinking nog

1:38:18 Nog. You should be drinking nog. I want to be drinking nog, yeah No we're working because it's an important work Yes it is So I had this thing I'm bitching and moaning about the Houthis And why don't just... We got satellites Why don't we just bomb Bomb the Houthis? Where they're sending these... The Houthis So I'm not convinced that this is all us to sell our, our LPG, our oil or whatever. Oh yeah. To sell it all the way to Europe. There's actually...I agree with that but this guy a book writer who is on NTD and they're going to discuss...they introduced him so you know his name

1:39:00 the Houthi discussion about the weak response. And I have these clips from NT, and I thought this guy had it nailed and he's got a nut kind of a different angle so here we go. Thanks for joining me here today Lee Smith The US' response to the Houthi attacks has been called weak by some political and national security analysts What is your assessment on the U.S.'s response to attacks? How do you think this response will be interpreted by Iran which backs the Houthis Well, I certainly agree that it's been a very weak response. And the main reason for it of course is because the Biden administration wants to renew the nuclear deal with Iran and so the Biden administration is already concerned that Israel is attacking another Iranian asset Hamas

1:39:50 in Gaza and so the idea that the United States itself would protect itself as well as protecting shipping lanes. This is beyond the pale for the Biden administration because again, the key foreign policy initiative of the Biden administration is to get back into that nuclear deal. That was the key foreign policy initiative of Barack Obama and so Biden wants to get back into it Wow, well I just want to remind us that my buddy Lex in Holland who was married to an Iranian Fariba. She visits regularly she's over there and we saw her when we were in Holland when we went on our trip this summer And she always says everybody in Iran knows That America and Iran are always working together It's all a show

1:40:51 Well, there you have it. I think that she might be correct but let's go with part two of this clip And let me ask you this too We know that Iran and the Chinese Communist Party are allies right? and work together to undermine the US Is there a role that uh...the CCP could be playing in this Well, I'm sure the CCP couldn't be unhappy about this. That it has shaken the world's confidence in the United States' ability to protect shipping lanes and remember, The United States has been doing this since the end of World War II This is one of the most important things that The United States does And its important for the entire world or certainly for the free world For Europe, us and our other allies

1:41:38 And the idea that the Iranians, through the Houthis have shaken the world's confidence since the United States is not firing back. That weakens not only America's prestige but it also is going to cost other countries and industries a lot more to ship these goods around the world This is a scam So, scam. This is a scam it's so obvious and so he goes on and on one would analyze this but I just took this last piece just right straight up with a really interesting assertion that we will not protect the shipping lanes

1:42:24 Because we have another chief interest, which is a nuclear deal with Iran that guarantees Iran's nuclear weapons program. It doesn't stop it – this very important understanding – it doesn't stop it rather makes it legitimate. That's the point of the nuclear deal so the message, the larger message that the Biden administration sending to the world is you think things are bad now in shipping lanes around the world. Wait until Iran, which backs the Houthis get a nuclear bomb then everyone's going to have to be paying off the Iranians and their allies to be able to ship their goods across the world so it's an insanely destructive message that the Biden administration is sending to the world You know the tip-off for me which I didn't hear a single US media or I was expecting at least a BBC report on it

1:43:19 that the French walked away from Operation Prosperity Guardian. They said, no we're not going to participate in this and I think the Greeks said screw you we're not gonna be a part of this now when why would the French leave? The French is it time they break out the Freedom Fries again why would the French leave? I think it's because of Total Oil they like oh you guys are screwing us Yeah, you're screwing our oil. I'd say that's probably true! Yeah. Yeah total it really is half of France. So this makes no sense though Tom Hanks needs to do a movie. He already did one about the Somali pirates so and this whole thing

1:44:10 When are they going to have that nuclear bomb? Two weeks? Is it just around the corner? It's always gonna be two weeks. Just around the corner, I'm sure Well, once they get back on track I'm sure it'll go a little faster. But after having Trump come in and disrupt everything that didn't help and it's not going to help if Trump gets back in office at least is not to these schemes these one world government schemes the way I see them. I mean now I'm also thinking that whole thing that Trump uncovered we're gonna attack Iran? That's probably a gambit too! All right now we're gonna pretend we're gonna try attack you guys

1:44:48 We're gonna do something over here and then we'll do this. And then, you know... Oh actually maybe that document implies that? Ooh I would be even better. That's why it's secret He probably buried that with Ivana as well It's in the coffin. Is he set to dig her up? Dig her up! Now normally we have a veto on playing this guy but i think oh no yes can i guess who it is You already know Go ahead. Okay, go ahead. Is it John Kerry? Of course it is you got it but... Ugh! But I have not- You've been doing this. I know well because of the COP 28 you're in clear violation of the treaty Well its COP28 so me oh I have a veto in the Security Council In the CLPP council

1:45:39 So we're summing up COP28 and the big news that came out of COP 28 is we actually, Chad GPT used the line transition away from fossil fuels. And then there's a second part to it to reach a net zero economy which is code for carbon credits because net zero doesn't mean that we're not using fossil fuels It means that we are buying pieces of Africa, then you just call that a carbon sink. You know all the... We plant some trees this kind of stuff but this was the bill! This is fantastic! We did our job it took us 28 cops

1:46:30 28 cops and we finally did it. I'm John Kerry! Now the beauty of this is it's Christine, Christiane Amanpour who I am now convinced is so dumb she has that elitist vibe over her and for years you know he was like oh yeah she's Christiane Amanpour but I'm Christiane Amanpour my poop don't stink Well, she's done. President Biden's top climate envoy John Kerry says only greed can now get in the way of combating climate change. Kerry was right at the center of a high stakes deal making at COP 28 in Dubai where remarkably all 195 nations agreed to transition away from fossil fuels earlier this week he and I talked about age activism and how hard it was to get to that agreement so first of all the whole notion

1:47:22 that this was a big deal to transition away from fossil fools. I mean, is this not what they've been saying for 15 years? Well here's the other aspect to this... They actually wanted and we had clips i don't know if you even replayed them uh from COP28 where they didn't want- The wording was not transition away it was eliminate. Yeah exactly And the guy was one of the head honchos in one of the big Middle East oil companies. Yeah, he was running the show! He managed to change it from eliminate... To transition away from which is what they've kind of been doing you know Transition away doesn't mean anything it's meaningless That's what Elon Musk has been helping with that's what it is. Transition away from fossil fuels okay

1:48:15 Secretary Kerry, welcome back to the program. There was a lot written about how you were able to leverage if that's the right way your contacts with the Saudi... Remember isn't his daughter married to like some Iranian dude? I can't remember the relationships. I'm remembering that, yeah boy... Anyway, oh, I'm John Kerry! I did it all! With the Chinese official et al., tell me just what it was like in terms of personal negotiation getting them to sign on the dotted line? Well, it's really tough. This is as tough as any multilateral negotiation gets

1:48:51 When you have economic interests and different capacities, different capabilities, different amounts of money, different cultures, different economies. And you bring them all together in a multilateral forum? I think people who expect them to all of a sudden, you know terminate what they're doing are just not operating on the reality of how multilateral governance works. It's the hardest kind of all and what happened in... Multilateral governance New World Order is the hardest of all but I'm John Kerry ...is that 195 countries actually came to a consensus any one of them could have blocked

1:49:33 Any one country could have walked away and said, no we're not doing this. They didn't they gathered together and said time for a transition away from fossil fuels with acceleration in the 2020s commensurate with net zero 2050 and keeping with the Paris agreement which means keeping 1.5 degrees alive if there's one thing that worries me what is it? Well what worries me now is greed and procrastination, and business as usual. And people who just aren't going to step up. This is a perfect example of what you say, ben jezelf met je kop door de helft. The greed part? That's you! All those people there they're in it for the greed

1:50:17 I can sell carbon credits. Oh, we don't have to be done until 2050! John Kerry... Yeah let's set up an exchange Yes John Kerry will be dead in 2050 because he is well into his 80s now i think or bees 80 I don't know. I think so, but let's check it out doesn't matter let's talk about Trump if you're the envoy for President Biden what happens if Biden doesn't get elected and the climate you know I don't even know what to call him the Climate Agreement puller-outer the Climate Agreement puller outer that is your elitist Christiane Anampour there He's actually 80, you're right. I don't even know what to call Trump but a climate agreement puller-outer! He is a puller outer. Puller outer! We've known he is a puller outer. He is a puller out of the first order! Climate...you know..I don't even know what to call him The climate agreement puller-outer of Donald Trump which he did after 2015 comes back. Let me tell you something Even while Donald Trump was President of the United States and pulled out of the Paris Agreement

1:51:18 37 governors, Republican and Democrat alike in the states of America all continued to apply the Paris Agreement. Even while Donald Trump was out of the agreement? This is a lie! What do you mean did we send money to China? Did Texas send money to South America?! That's the agreement! Puller Outter 75% of the new electricity in the United States that came online, came from renewables. Now he probably didn't know it or he tried to stop it but bottom line is nobody can stop this now. The economies of the world have made this decision I think no one politician anywhere in the world can undo the direction the world has now moved in. Particularly young people who are really there for it and won't

1:52:07 allowing to die a quiet death. The young people are not polar outers at all, at all! All right now since after this clip I want you write this down January, December 24th 2023. After this clip I will never play John Kerry again. Oh bullshit! Because... Bull crap! This is... Do you think he's gonna die or something? What do you got going on here? This is the end. He has done his job He has done what no one could do. Oh, you think he's retiring? He's done! He's out and will no longer be around. He is already talking about how great he is. He'll tell his grandchildren how great... Well, he's telling his grandchildren how great he is This is it. It's a swan song. Sayonara You just celebrated your 80th birthday still going strong What line can you draw from that from the young man who came back and told his country that this war was the wrong war

1:53:09 to today, to what you will tell your grandchildren about what's been achieved after this COP28. What will you tell them about their future? Well that we can make a difference that all of us being citizens and being active and being engaged We have that freedom, that power to make a difference The struggle for us now in the United States is to make sure That truth is on the table, that we are ratifying truth not disinformation that

1:53:57 Felt that responsibility because we survived and we came back wait, but wasn't he a traitor. But why do I remember? Did he throw his medals in the water or something all he threw up but it was alive supposedly during some protest, I think anti-war protest in Vietnam. He supposedly threw his medals into some you know burning heap but then somebody found out that he'd bought some medals at a pawn shop and threw those in. That's the rumor. It was the swift boat thing, it was this that was and then he had the swift boat where I'm ready for duty He comes out at the convention, I am ready for duty! And salutes to crowd and then he has a Swiftboat guys came out full of crap, this guy is phony

1:54:49 Yeah, he's a phony baloney this guy. He's always been. But now he is talking about his crew... My crew? What are you two live crew? What are you hip-hop guy now? That comes from the saying that many of the guys on my crew and many people I knew there... I run with them some bad dudes... Felt that responsibility because we survived and came back And so you treat every day as extra. And when you say to me, I'm 80 years old and that don't think about age honestly, I know the other day I said to my friends when we were gathered, at 80 I can do everything I used to do when I was 50 but I don't remember what it is.

1:55:30 on galvanize people around critical values that are at stake in Ukraine. Critical values? I don't know what has happened to a lot of people who back away from that now because the cost of not persevering would be just extraordinary for the world and i think he knows how the Congress works, he knows America and he also knows how the world works and that's what you need today. Thank you very much indeed. Goodbye John Kerry

1:56:15 Ban forever so you think that you show you are putting this date down as Christmas 2023 yep, as a Swan song yeah he's done. He's out. That's bullcrap There's no way guy like that's out. He's done. He's done. No he's done We will and he's done on the show there will be no more clips of Joe well I don't know about that well then I'm gonna bring clips he might is he might as Well be dead to us. He's dead to me. He's dead to me Now, I will say the one thing that I was absolutely right on was this... and it started in the EU. Then we then said you watch this is a thing and it is indeed! It's the green hydrogen. Hydrogen is all

1:56:58 about now. We're moving away from wind and solar because that's no good, it's all about the hydrogen." And hydrogen producers could soon be eligible for billions of dollars in tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden administration today released its proposal to boost the hydrogen industry as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels under the proposal cleaner energy projects would get the most tax credits Those that use fossil fuels to produce hydrogen would still get them, but in smaller amounts. Hydrogen production credits could deliver $140 billion in revenue and 700,000 jobs by the year 2030." Sure how's that hydrogen working for you? What is this climate change mini clip? Well should we have a listen

1:56:15 Ban forever so you think that you show you are putting this date down as Christmas 2023 yep, as a Swan song yeah he's done. He's out. That's bullcrap There's no way guy like that's out. He's done. He's done. No he's done We will and he's done on the show there will be no more clips of Joe well I don't know about that well then I'm gonna bring clips he might is he might as Well be dead to us. He's dead to me. He's dead to me Now, I will say the one thing that I was absolutely right on was this... and it started in the EU. Then we then said you watch this is a thing and it is indeed! It's the green hydrogen. Hydrogen is all

1:56:58 about now. We're moving away from wind and solar because that's no good, it's all about the hydrogen." And hydrogen producers could soon be eligible for billions of dollars in tax credits through the Inflation Reduction Act. The Biden administration today released its proposal to boost the hydrogen industry as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels under the proposal cleaner energy projects would get the most tax credits Those that use fossil fuels to produce hydrogen would still get them, but in smaller amounts. Hydrogen production credits could deliver $140 billion in revenue and 700,000 jobs by the year 2030." Sure how's that hydrogen working for you? What is this climate change mini clip? Well should we have a listen

1:57:50 Yeah. 50 plus architecture, landscape architecture and design offices have participated in this exhibition. They've come together to creatively design an entire city which is edible. An edible city? That's right they're going to do that next. Where was that from? That's hilarious! This story was about a about climate change, but they decided they're gonna do a green gingerbread city designed by the world's top architects.

1:58:29 And so they designed this thing and it turned out to be edible. I thought just that sub clip itself was funny Where's Sir Mark and Dame Astrid when we're designing a gingerbread city? Those guys could do it They could do it, man! They were gonna be involved in today's... Dame Astrid for sure on today's donation segment She contributed money to us Still listens Are you doing a show on Tuesday with the Horowitz? Of course. Well, could I? It's after Christmas he doesn't care about Chris. He is Jewish and so the joke is...I always like to chide him about it. He totally confirms this most Jews go and eat Chinese dinners on Christmas. And it's like a tradition which means that they observe Christmas or they wouldn't have a tradition around Christmas

1:59:24 And he has no problem saying Merry Christmas to me. No, of course not! You know what? I love him because he's one of those Jews who loves cooking up lobsters He's boasting about it all the time It's like...love that guy That guy is obviously a good cook Only he's a little bit nuts about it He goes out of control He's out of control! He'll cook for 25 people Nobody in their right mind who knows how to cook well will cook for 25 people. It's just too much work, it's ridiculous you get a caterer and have them do it you just don't do it but he'll do it yeah no I love Andrew and Jill they're some very fine people

2:00:08 They're very fine people. I have a question about how this will work because what the new president, Millet of Argentina said he would do he has done! He re-pegged the peso, the peso's been pegged And it's not, he promised it would be bad but its bad. Economic shock treatment is the only solution according to the new Argentinian president in a televised address Javier Malay said he would repeal more than 300 laws and a bid to reboot the country struggling economy

2:00:46 Today I've signed a decree of necessity and urgency to begin to unblock the oppressive legal and institutional framework that's destroyed our country. Among the announcements made on Wednesday are a reform of labour law, the scrapping of a law regulating rent and the elimination of rules preventing the privatisation of state enterprises. But before the measures can take effect they must first be assessed by a joint committee of lawmakers from both chambers And Malay's far-right party only has 40 seats in the 257 member lower house and seven senators out of 72. Fearing street protests, the government threatened to take away demonstrators' social welfare benefits

2:01:31 which didn't stop these Argentinians marching in Buenos Aires on Wednesday. You won't let them take our freedom, it costs too much! They're taking people off buses asking for documents and banning protests is the dictatorship back? Is that what those who voted for Malay want?! On Monday, Argentina's Minister for Human Capital issued a warning via social media. Those blocking streets won't be paid! The move to discourage protests was declared unconstitutional by opposition MPs In Argentina one in two citizens receive aid from the state or an organization Okay so and I should mention DH Unplugged every Tuesday it's an hour-long casual conversation between money manager Andrew Horowitz and columnist John C DeVore

2:02:20 And so my question is, how does this mechanism work when you want to stop rampant inflation? You then re-peg everything becomes 30% to 50% more expensive overnight. Half the people from the report depend on government handouts. I mean, what's the mechanism? This is not the first time this has been done how does it work? What is...I mean does it last two months to years? How does it work but how is this going to help everybody in the end?" It stops inflation pretty quickly. This was done in Brazil. This has been done in Argentina I think a couple of times and once you repeg

2:03:00 Yeah, it goes everything goes up. It seems to go up 30%. But it's been going up 15 or 20% a month anyway. So if it goes up 30% once and then stops going up that seems to be a benefit yeah okay things are gonna be a little more expensive for the short term Brazilians did it they took in they had these different First time I went to Brazil, I went during the period of hyperinflation and I still have a couple of bills. The Cresero's bill and they...I have one that's 500 thousand and it was worth like about $1.

2:03:39 And then it became worth less and less and less, they just got rid of it completely. They had two different versions of it. They got rid of it and brought in something called the Real which means real. It was pegged to the dollar one-to-one And it pretty much stopped inflation. And one of the things I think that caused the inflation to stop dead is what Milton Friedman's, we had a clip, we played it where he discusses something in one of the states during the Civil War where they're having this inflation problem and they just stopped printing money and the inflation stopped.

2:04:18 It was just that simple and that easy, and that's exactly what this amounts to. Here is the clip I believe this one you're referring to 40 years ago on inflation's cause? Would that be the clip? Could be! In the modern era, the important next step is to recognize that today governments control a quantity of money so that as a result inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else Of course. No government, any more than any one of us likes to take responsibility for bad things We're all of us human If something bad happens it wasn't our fault I don't think this is the clip but i want to play it out Yeah play it And the government is the same way So it doesn't accept responsibility for inflation if you listen to people in Washington talk they will tell you that inflation is produced by greedy businessmen or its produced by grasping unions

2:05:20 Or it's produced by spendthrift consumers. Or maybe, it's those terrible Arab sheiks who are producing them? Yeah those guys! Now of course businessmen are greedy Who of us isn't? Trade unions are grasping Who of us isn't? And there is no doubt that the consumer is a spendthrift At least every man knows that about his wife But none of them produce inflation For the very simple reason That neither the businessman nor the trade union, nor the housewife has a printing press in their basement on which they can turn out those green pieces of paper we call money. Only Washington has that printing press and therefore only Washington can produce inflation." So what do we do?

2:06:15 with our rampant inflation in the United States where our debt payments on almost $34 trillion is now 1.7 trillion, which is more than we give to the military-industrial complex can we peg ourselves to our own dollar? Well, we tend to do that yeah so you pay off the debt with cheaper money But how do we do that what did we do we just devalue the dollar it never happens No So we don't tend to do that as what you're saying well it's always on the table. The result of this... Or we can let inflation go nuts if it goes up like crazy, like in the 70s It fixes that for a while Well, it seems to me If you look at the lay of the land because now with effectively the whole Suez Canal Red Sea The whole thing all the way down to the Gulf of Aden where we know the Stargate is Yeah and do you know what comes through that star gate? Yes

2:07:19 Fish. Yes, only when it's open then the fish come out. Already we're hearing all supply chain supply chain which I think could be used to blame inflation on? Yeah code! Oh it's the Huthis, the Huthi price hike so the answer which we've been discussing for a long time is universal basic income And PBS NewsHour had John Yang, I mean Michael Tubbs. Is he? I think he's the mayor of Stockton because this has been one of those experiments in Stockton where they give people money as a... They don't call it universal basic income they call it something else. Yeah giving people money It's called giving people money

2:08:10 But the people are getting serious about this. You want to hear some clips of this? Yes, I would like to hear some clips. It's not a new idea! No strings attached payments to provide people with a financial floor what is called a guaranteed basic income it actually dates back to 16th century England Today it's being tested in dozens of pilot programs. Is there any evidence of that? Did they use it in the 1500s in England, they gave people a universal basic income? I'm sure there was some sort of giveaway going on back in the day that has been misinterpreted as such. Yeah okay... Across the country? Don't you think? Probably In cities as big as Baltimore and small as Yellow Springs Ohio population about 3700

2:08:54 Some of them use taxpayer funds, others use private contributions or foundation grants. Stockton California was among the first to launch a pilot program in 2019 Earlier I spoke with Stocktons mayor at the time Michael Tubbs he's also founder of a group called mayors for guaranteed income. I asked him about the genesis of Stocktons program. A guaranteed income there it is At the crux of all issues from homelessness to crime Crime to education was this persistent poverty and economic insecurity. So, my 1st 100 days I gathered in my team into office and I said you guys, I want our legacy to be anti poverty pro economic security administration so let's come up with.

2:09:37 all the ideas for how can we as a government ensure that people have enough to live and survive and eventually thrive. And through that, my team came back with this idea of a guaranteed income citing work that was happening in places like Kenya and Mexico and Brazil. Now I had heard about guaranteed income from studying Dr King in college so I was familiar with the idea Let's do it. I love that we're now on the level of Kenya and Brazil, yeah that is getting pretty bad and there's a whole...I think this is possibly a plan for Democrats for 2024? And honestly you know everyone pays attention when oh are you gonna give me money then no strings attached you know but well this would be this is a classic potential

2:10:28 Democrat promise to the black community, which they never deliver on. And they should all remember that welfare reform, which was throwing a lot of money into that in that direction was promoted and implemented by Bill Clinton and other Democrats who pulled all that money back. But yeah it looks like a promise this is not going to happen at least Did you say black community? I said black community. Shame on you, shame on you! All right so let's find out what did he find... I think i can say the black voter that tends to vote Democrat and as I understand it the program ran for two years You had 125 participants from neighborhoods where the median income was at or below the city's median which I think was about $46 000 they got five hundred dollars a month for two years

2:11:20 What did you find? This is, by the way $46,000. I mean...I know people in New York City who make less than that so people would pay attention. Oh! I'd be eligible for something like this So many people said the money would be spent on drugs and alcohol or that people would stop working Or that people would use that money to commit crimes etc And what we saw was that people spend money the way you and I and viewers spend money We saw them be two times less likely to be unemployed. We saw them spend the money on things like utilities, on necessities, on food and other children but we also saw health impacts. We saw those with a guaranteed income saw their stress decrease just as small amount of money was enough not for people who become millionaires but for people not to be evicted or people that take care of their children, for people to be able to pay to get their car fixed, for people to live and contribute onto their communities

2:12:14 It sounds like this was a raging success. No one bought drugs! I mean, is that how they use the money? So everything you just said it sort of contradicts or counters what the critics say because the critics say that this takes away the incentive to work uh...that this will foster bad spending decisions but it sounds like that's not what you found in Stockton That's now we found in Stockton and increasingly from any of the dozens of pilots happening across this country and this world consistently, which suggests to me John that part of the issue is not just a data issue but a storytelling issue. That we have to get people to see the myths, the lies, the prejudices, the stereotypes and biases we have against people who may have less money

2:13:02 Yeah, let's go to the myths and the lies because this guy thinks that Social Security is just like a thing that the government is just nicely giving people. Skips the whole point of you pay into Social Security your entire life I think he's setting us up for a... You know there's not going to be any social security cause we're- That money as you've pointed out John Is gone It's been used. Stolen! So, you know do some local tax and give people money from that Do you see guaranteed income programs supplementing government assistance programs or replacing government assistance programs? I see it as a supplemental. I see it really as an extension of the social safety net. I see this is our 21st century Social Security. In Great Depression we decide that folks who are older

2:13:56 deserve to have a little bit of cushion post 65 because they've done so much for our communities and I also think... Because they've done so much for our communities? No, because they paid that money in. You're supposed to steward it Man, you didn't. You stole it! And I also think our current government programs should take note about what makes guaranteed income works because A.) It's the money but B.) It's also the trust that maybe people don't need to do a bunch of paperwork Maybe folks don't need someone to sit down and make them come in and set goals Maybe a lot of folks just need cash and maybe that will make some of the investments we're making as a government that much more efficient He- they're banking on people not noticing this.

2:14:41 Oh, it's gone. Yeah I'm sorry it's just gone where are we gonna this is the final clip where are we going to get the money from? These programs the pilot programs some of them use government money some of them use private donations some of them use grant money from foundations if you were able to make this permanent across the country how do you think it should be funded We ARE able to make this permanent across the country and again I think that child tax credit is a huge start which was a guaranteed income albeit for families with children State governments, county governments local governments were doing pilots there because those governments can't deficit spend. They have to have a balanced budget every year

2:15:21 Our federal government can, and we do. We could also raise revenue. We could legalize cannabis nationwide and use the tax revenue for that to pay for guaranteed income. We could close the 2017 Trump tax cuts which gave $2 trillion away to the riches among us. And we could close other tax loopholes and create a guaranteed income. There's no shortage of ways of paying pain for it. I really believe the question is how do we build the wheel? How do we make a necessity? It's a political question and we have to organize and demand of our elected officials that this is what we need, let them know this is not scary. This is not an extreme position. This is not a utopian position.

2:16:03 This is a position that Republicans and Democrats alike are both suffering. And that's where some of this anger we see, this raging populism we see comes from economic anxiety in some ways. So this isn't a partisan issue which has a long answer to say it's a political question but we've been doing the work to build political will and continue pushing until we get there See, I think it will happen. And then I think this is the plan and now I'm going to go a little Whitney Webb on you but this is where you bring in your central bank digital currency. This is where you can print your money, you could make it all magically appear put into people's pocket that would be the way to do it not whatever he was saying like foundations grant money no no no and this is on PBS so it's not obscure they're working this angle

2:16:57 Well, it's gonna take a lot more work. I'm not gonna argue that it's not gonna happen eventually because the way things are set up, it has to happen. It's almost inevitable but... The time frame... What? The basic income, the universal basic income? Yeah. Yeah. It's inevitable but especially after robbing the Social Security money. And then they've ratcheted everybody down. I mean, I make money on Social Security and my wife makes half as much and you know it's gonna be almost nothing... Well of course she is a woman of course expect that. Well there you go yeah never thought of that so they're going to implement this somehow because it's a necessity and I don't know how its gonna come out. It's not gonna be good

2:17:48 It's gonna be something screwed up about it, you know that because of government. But maybe we won't be around? Maybe it'll take a long time. I think it's gonna take a long time. We can cruise along for awhile. First they gotta get set up the shanty towns... Yes, yes, this is good news. And I have a shantytown story kind of just like a street on up here in Novato. I didn't know anything about this as watching this on the news Where's this clip? Good question. It's on here. Homeless Novato solution, gotcha! That would probably be the clip. Campers began showing up on Binford Road in rural Novato shortly after the 2017 Tubbs fire made a lot of Sonoma County residents homeless over the years it's grown thanks to the pandemic the economy and high cost-of-living

2:18:42 Dino Monterello moved his trailer here from Sonoma County about eight months ago and says a lot of the stress has been relieved. Here is nice because you don't have to worry about the sheriffs coming in and kicking, making you move go to another spot then they're making you go to another spot back-and-forth instead at Sonoma that's what we were doing constantly shuffling individuals around or moving them from location to location doesn't really solve anything Marin Supervisor Eric Lukin says the county is taking a more practical approach to the RVs on Binford, making the encampment more livable rather than just trying to remove it. They supply portable toilets and hand washing stations and trash pickup three times a week so you don't see piles of garbage and junk like at other camps but Lukin says there was a necessary first step

2:19:31 Number one we stopped it from growing any larger. We physically closed off spaces on Binford Road to stop the growth as soon as a vehicle leaves offense or earthen berm is put in its place Slowly the number of people living on Binford has been reduced to 101 individuals just in the last month We've seen 10 individuals on Binford Road move into a more permanent support permanent housing solution. You know, the approach we're taking on Binford is we want the next move that anybody on Binford Road has to make that next move they should make should be into a house." To encourage that, the county is trying something new an idea that worked to clear out many of the unwanted anchor-out boats in Richardson Harbor

2:20:15 They're offering to pay people on Binford Road who find permanent housing $175 per linear foot for their old RVs. So in standard RV that might be four or five thousand dollars these funds can be used for first last month's rent, security deposit or a whole variety of things needed when they make that move yeah sure give me the money Yeah, give me the money. They're going to get the money here's what I think the people experiencing homelessness and we have a few people listening who have been experiencing homelessness sure you have two by the numbers We have we have to have quite a few actually one of our producers actually sent to boots on the ground He he doesn't say he's homeless. He says He is van lifing which i think is great way of just van lifing. He's a van lifer

2:21:06 And he gave me a boots on the ground report about Humboldt Park in Chicago, these horrible tents that they've put down for migrants that are not waterproof. They're trying to throw plastic over them to waterproof or make them a little bit warmer. What kind of tent is not waterproof? Well there's these orange things that are kind of like geodesic dome tents and no good And I was thinking, considering all the reports we're seeing about the migration replacement program from the United Nations into mainly the United States but of course all over Western Europe is your best bet is to find one of these

2:21:48 one of these people who works for these agencies, these NGOs who shuttle illegal immigrants around. You can always you know because I have a clipboard or maybe an umbrella or both and just go over there say no ingles! And then you'll get a debit card to get a phone. You'll buy your phone. You can get a piece of paper that you can travel to any city you want this is... People are mad Everybody's seeing this now. People are mad about these long lines to get on the plane, paying customers now have to wait while the illegal migrants get on... they board first, they don't have to show any ID. It's people are mad!

2:22:34 This is, this is they've... Biden has screwed this one up. They really you know, oh well it's Texas! It's Texas no no no no no they're coming from Arizona they're coming from and there getting on flights so it's Texas now I'm sorry? You said something. No I just mumbled Texas. I think have a migration update It says miration, but it's actually a migration update on NTD. More people are entering the United States illegally this week Fox News on Friday published this video of African men arriving at the southern border saying only two border agents were on the scene to process all of the people you see here CBP tells The Outlet that there have been 45 thousand encounters at the border since Monday

2:23:24 Able to fill Yankee Stadium in just four days. Monday was the highest day of encounters ever recorded with 12,600. December is on pace to become the highest month ever many say they're heading for sanctuary cities New York Chicago Mexico's president on Friday acknowledged the situation is getting worse. We will boost as much as we can to help maintain an orderly flow of migrants. Recently, there was an abnormal surge of migrants. He now says he'll step up efforts on Mexico's southern border with Guatemala and seek agreements to manage higher numbers of immigrants attempting to enter the U.S.. Higher numbers? Oh well just manage them don't worry about it!

2:24:12 You know, Africa there are now these so-called travel agencies in Senegal. They have websites they've got complete packages. We'll get you to the US! Yeah well the guy in that report whose voice I love he showed that mostly Africans coming in it's a lot of Africans but if you play part two Meanwhile, Texas is now reportedly adding anti-climbing technology to its fences in Brownsville. That's by erecting 12 foot tall fences laced with three feet of concertina wire. This comes just... I love the anti climbing technology!

2:24:53 This comes just days after a court temporarily prohibited the federal government from removing the state's razor wires. And lastly, in New York City the United Federation of Teachers is suing Mayor Eric Adams Back in November Adams warned off budget cuts for city services It was going to be extremely painful for New Yorkers and that is why we continue say we need help The mayor now wants to cut half a billion dollars from education in order to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. Oh, this is great! All right, I have one clip from Chicago just so we can hear what Chicago has done because you know it's Texas... These people the one you just heard they're getting on planes flying into Chicago but okay it's Texas It's that horrible Texans government. I can't believe that governor That guy's no good if he wasn't in a wheelchair I'd beat him up

2:25:47 They've now put a rule in place in Chicago that if you're coming with the bus, with illegal immigrants then you have to call up five days ahead of time to get permission. Yeah or they impound the bus. Of course no one's going... because your not gonna get permission from the sanctuary cities? No, no. So they're just dropping them off anywhere now. Bus companies from Texas are dropping off migrants in areas outside Chicago Friday night Hinsdale became the latest suburb to see migrants dropped off without advance warning City officials say communication has broken down between Chicago and officials along the southern border

2:26:26 buses transporting migrants are avoiding the city's designated landing zone. This is in response to tougher penalties for bus owners who violate a new city ordinance this week, migrants were dropped off in areas like Wooddale Aurora and Kankakee Sheriff Mike Downey says migrants were found walking on Interstate 57 they were dropped off Thursday morning at a truck stop they were told they had reached Chicago he says migrants were wrapped blankets and several Children were among them They all came from El Paso Texas His office is working on tracking down the bus company. Meanwhile in Aurora, we didn't turn anyone away and I hope that as you all leave this room today you have that clear. Aurora city leaders held a special meeting Friday afternoon to discuss the influx of migrants arriving by bus at the Aurora Transportation Center they say migrants are being encouraged aboard Metro trains and head to Chicago they passed an emergency ordinance requiring bus companies now give a five-day notice

2:27:22 get approval for a drop off along with the detailed care plan for their passengers. It's necessary for us to be responsible and take those steps to protect Not only those individuals that bing are dropped off here in Aurora, those migrants but also protect the residents of Aurora. And again just today migrants were seen boarding trains from Aurora to Chicago that new ordinance in Aurora going into effect tonight buses and violation will be facing fines and potential forfeiture of their bus. This is the single issue that makes Biden un-electable unrelectable

2:28:01 Americans are sick of it. They're sick of it because, you say like we don't hate these people but no just stop this is ridiculous have you seen the Eagle Pass video? Yeah wow! It's like Disneyland lines and we're like Disneyland this is totally crazy so what does Biden do uh I'll go talk to Mexico. In the town of Eagle Pass, hundreds of people wait in the cold to be processed by US border officials. In recent weeks illegal border crossings have seen a surge straining immigration services President Biden who is seeking re-election next year is trying to regain control of the issue he has been under significant political pressure

2:28:47 to curb the numbers. Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and White House Homeland Security Advisor Liz Sherwood-Randall to travel to Mexico in coming days. The US president has been accused by Republicans at being too lax on immigration In recent weeks border police have been recording almost 10,000 people crossing the border every day This comes as the governor Texas signed a bill Monday effectively criminalizing the illegal entry migrants

2:29:35 with penalties ranging from 180 days in jail to 20 years in prison. The law, known as SB4 will also give local authorities the power to deport migrants to Mexico and is set to come into force in March I'm also signing Senate Bill 3 from the 4th special session Senate Bill 3 adds $1.54 billion more to build more border barriers and walls like what we have here The Biden administration's takeover comes at a time when parliamentarians in Washington are discussing an agreement on immigration, A condition imposed by the Republicans in order to unblock the financial aid Ukraine sought by the president There you go Did you know she said that Biden administration's takeover?

2:30:24 Yeah, I heard that. Who does that mean? I'm not sure...I'm not sure. Where was that report from? The France 24 All they have to do is just say, no we're just going to adhere to the law. They don't need comprehensive immigration reform. No they don't need anything! The law's the law. We have a law that's in place... We're gonna get comprehensive immigration reform and it will require ID in order to work. Now that Whitney Webb, that's what's happening. That's where your government ID comes in. That's where it comes from not from X

2:31:05 Alright, let me just so we can... Just a little bit of Christmas cheer. Let's go down under for Christmas cheer We're in for a COVID-Christmas this year as cases rise particularly in children Liz Daniels takes us through the latest data from NSW Health Well school is out and COVID is about The number of emergency department presentations has been climbing steadily over the past three weeks driven by children and people aged between 17 and 49. New South Wales Health sewage surveillance now pointing to Bondi, Liverpool and Quakers Hill as the virus hotspots with new variants including JN1 on the rise there were also increases in the number of influenza and RSV cases both also surging in children. The New South Wales health advisory

2:31:54 Perhaps the greatest gift you can give your vulnerable loved ones this Christmas is to take them to get the newest updated monovalent booster shot. There ya go! And it's the waste water, we know this because of your poop water that's how we know COVID is on the rise. Yeah cause we know its on the rise because of the super clip I have. Please don't play it cause we played that in 2021. It's just a classic How about this? How about I play your classic but I play it from episode 1392-2021. Does that sound good to you? The same one or has there been added two? It's the exact same clip. Especially the TV broadcasters! There is a fabulous supercut that has been doing the rounds which i shall play for you

2:32:48 illustrates exactly how much Big Pharma owns the media. I'll just, just... Okay. I'll tell you this is not the exact same one because the first clip in this new one It's longer it's the same thing It has a woman passing out and then every other clip has a woman or guy falling over CBS This Morning sponsored by Pfizer Good morning America is brought to you by Pfizer CBS Health Watch sponsored by Pfizer Anderson Cooper 360

2:33:25 Brought to you by Pfizer. Against the nightline We're not brought to you by Pfizer, but I would like to say in the morning to you The man who put the C's in the COVID Christmas Say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John C DeVore And good morning to you Mr Adam Curry In the morning ships will see that boots on the ground their feet in the air the subs in the water and the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls of the troll room Let me do a little countdown Wow, a whole bunch of them ran away. I don't even want to tell you what the count is for today It's Christmas. It was Christmas it's bad John is bad. It was the best of times or was the worst of times 13 Nobody suspected to be listening to our show excepting deep ones that are important people out there

2:34:19 On a day like it's a holiday when they should be spending time with good friends and family. 1,393 Torals Holy moly that is the record low for a Sunday It's pretty bad That's the record low for a Sunday because that's half of what the audience should be. It's low What can I tell you? It's just low Maybe the material was no good today. The material was dynamite we did nothing but laugh I mean, if we're not laughing then we didn't do our job. Oh no! No, and you know what? These are the true trolls these are the hardcore trolls. Yeah, hardcore trolls and you can become one of those trolls on Thursday's and Sunday's who do this show live You can do it at work go to trollroom.io or just put it in your web browser If someone comes along, alt-tab Alt tab to the back you bring up that spreadsheet

2:35:12 Then pretend like you're doing something. But meanwhile, the troll room and it's great because you can just say whatever you want. You can go, well, I'm a troll. And then, and it was cool then there's no accountability because it scrolls off its ephemeral should be lowered next Sunday because that is actually New Year's Day where people are starting to receive where people are partying? Yes. Well they'll be we have partying trolls. There's some trolls who like to party Yeah, it'll be good. I'm looking forward to it. We don't mind working on these days because... No we actually enjoy it! Yeah we do. I don't know why but for some reason we enjoy it

2:35:48 Trollroom.io is where you can find us live, you can also get one of those all the podcast apps now have new versions that everybody worked really hard so podcastapps.com get a modern one it'll alert you when we go live with the show it's the same app where you get the show when we publish it and especially those of you who may... some of you apparently about 4% of the podcast app market was Google podcasts They're closing down. People are getting their emails now and they say, well you can export your subscriptions to YouTube music! Don't do that! You can export your OPML file That's what they call it, OPML And you can export it right into any of the new podcast apps The modern ones So do that PodcastApps.com Value for value is how we have survived through the podcast winter

2:36:42 We've been doing it for 16 years. There's a big podcast winter coming up right now as advertisers just run away because Spotify failed and all that, you know? A whole bunch of reasons for it but we knew that we would weather the storm if people actually enjoy the outstanding product that we make and then you keep telling us that it is not standing products so we're still here when that ends the show ends It's that simple What was that story you had about that meats shop Oh yeah. You know, so here's the thing... So I'm uh....I like game

2:37:19 And there was, you know, reindeer meat is delicious. You don't get that here in the United States but it's delicious. Elk you can get deer, you can get moose by the way killer. And so there was this game shop that was in a peninsula and it was known to have all these crazy meats including quail and different duck And one year I was going to go down there and get some meat for a special event, and the place had closed down completely. It was gone! And it left me feeling that well maybe myself and others who like eating elk in mousse

2:38:01 If we had supported the place just for maybe once in a while instead of waiting five years to go down there, the place would still be in business and be doing good business. And I could now go down there and get what I wanted. No! Gone! For good! Never came back. And you're still sad about it? I'm still irked about it. So don't let that happen to you people This is what happened to Cranky Geeks by the way same thing It's never coming back. The same thing because people doesn't come back that's the point people weren't buying your goes away did never comes back I mean this is reminds us are you and I have been talking about some of these return to TV bullcrap shows like oh, yeah, like Frazier no good. It's just terrible they lost them they lost the plot it's not funny It's not the same writers as its no good

2:39:01 And my favorite one, and I have to apologize to you for this one because you made the comment just out of the blue. I'm talking about The Jon Stewart Show. Jon Stewart had a show on Apple or something and he said he was fired! Yes. I said, no he wasn't fired he agreed to quit but i made it...i was making it up! I didn't know until i watched the show and then you're like no wonder he was fired It was terrible he wasn't funny oh He was like you know knee-jerk liberal stuff that was no good he's buttoning in on things he shouldn't have anything to do with Didn't have the same writers obviously No And it was no good and they yeah and he got booted off But and i think he was fired

2:39:42 Yes, he was fired. He was fired the out you're fired you done your toast goodbye But this Kelsey Grammer thing is no good That's not good what it is good They did the same thing by the way with it with the show that have what was the name of this show? The guy was the gunslinger Marshall It's not called vengeance as well clouds McLeod No, oh god wasn't McLeod What cloud was the show yes, but when I'm talking about Timothy Oliphant was the main character somebody might remember what it is gonna try to bring that back gun smoke

2:40:22 You know, they should try to bring Gunsmoke back. I bet you that would really fail fast. They should bring back Hogan's Heroes! That would be funny. Well you needed Bob Crane to make that work. Justified. Yes exactly. Justified. They brought it back... So here is a show whose premise was the guy who was a marshal but he also had the premise of being a quick draw artist So he would get into some beef with people and he would just gun them down. He was killing people in the first year especially, everybody... somebody was getting going down every show so on the second day bring it back after a few years of hiatus they left it then they brought it back and they left the gunslinger part out which was the only part that was interesting How dumb is that? That's right when we're gone there's-that's it I mean no agenda you can never be no agenda again

2:41:15 And if there is, it'll be like a dud. No it won't! It'll be Adam and Moe what are you talking about? That one won't be a dud... Yes that's what I said What was not a dud was the artwork although I did have some comments on it You didn't like it at all The artwork which came from Dame Kenny Benn for episode 1618 of course we titled that Fat Leonard how could we not and well Even though the art generator is back up, and thank you so much Sir Paul Couture for resurrecting it. For bringing it back from the dead The artwork...for some reason John you wanted to go for a traditional Christmas thing I'm like no let's do that on Christmas! I wanted the Curry Dvorak swear jars

2:42:01 which I thought was great. You were like, man has no dynamics and then you're like, I want the Christmas stockings hung by the fire. And my business is boring pretty much. So there were two choices from Dame Kenny Ben one with just your stocking my stocking and then she had a second one with M5M but when under the bag of coal in a bag of coal but then mine my stocking's in the fire Yeah, this is your complaint. You said yeah and you say here's the limit did you give a little insight baseball here? He also said okay we'll take this one but I'm gonna bitch about it on the next show because my stocking was in the fire yours his talking was in the fire. I don't like it in the fire there like as I didn't tell me a drawing We both kind of liked Darren O'Neill's press stooges But we agreed that The Press

2:43:00 badges in their hat band was too small and people might not get it. Although the goofy look was pretty good for AI, you know it's AI obviously. Yeah, it was AI. It was AI. Everyone is going to AI You even tried to pawn off that no weed, no phone thing That was also damn Kenny Ben. You were like oh thats great No its not Its not Did not And then what else was there? That was kind of it. There really wasn't much, it looks like people understand for this show people have caught on there's a lot of traditional Christmas artwork so I'm excited to look at that when we're done but thank you Dame Kenny Ben we really appreciate your time and your time. That is two in a row for her! Yes that's right. So if she gets it again today... Then it's the hat trick

2:43:50 She gets it. That's right, so the competition is on and she'll get on the front page of The Art Generator NoahJenArtGenerator.com You can play along! You could actually participate you can upload your own artwork now get your whole artist profile It's all swanky if you win you go on the front page as leaderboards there are all kinds of cool things that Sir Paul Couture has done And thats another example of time, talent or treasure. Time and talent a lot of time in town that probably put some treasure in there too just to make this thing work we appreciate it same with all the producers who help us here It is value for value We provide the value up front There's no paywalls No Patreon levels You know tricks no gimmicks no advertising no creepy corporate money

2:44:34 We just say, hey if you got any value out of the show send it back to us. Some people don't do it for years then they do some people do a little bit every single month for years and years and all sudden their night or day doesn't matter we can't determine the value that you receive we can't tell determine what value place on that but we do have a number of people who have given us the treasure of The Time Talent & Treasure And we want to thank them right now, starting off with and there he is the man who always saves a day at the end of the month. Sironimus of Dogpatch on Lower Slobovia He sends it...He's always sends it to us in cash It always includes a $2 bill I'm just going to guess that was one at least one two dollar bill today or maybe six No, One Four thousand dollars four thousand twelve dollars

2:45:25 Wow. This is massive, massive thank you for this huge it's a beast one of his biggest donations ever for this end of year thank you so much and he always has a typewritten note but when today's note interestingly has a footnote I noticed because little one and there's a footnote do you see that? I'm gonna go open it now. He has a foot pose, but it hasn't...I'm trying to see where the number one...oh okay! When I hit the footnote, I will read the footnote from Sir Animas of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia. Thank you to all producers that always make this such an insightful source of information. Deconstruction of the three university presidents testimony was enlightening and paralleled a discussion with another University President. Sir Animus gets around

2:46:18 She shared the view that the presidents were over-lawyered, which is what I said. And had a 47 word Title IX mindset that no congressperson would understand or appreciate it's what you said! So... A fourth university president who was smart enough not to get invited confirmed that we were spot on Happy Hanukkah and Merry Christmas to the many producers Thank you for your faith Oh wait The footnote She shared the view that the presidents were over lawyered and had a 47 word title 9 mindset. Now, word I have here the footnote no person in United States shall on the basis of sex be educated...be excluded from participation in... You got it right! I've got it right. Oh read again No person in the United States shall on the basis of sex be excluded from participation in be denied the benefits of or be subjected to

2:47:17 discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal finance financial assistance. There you go, they can't do it otherwise money goes away is that the basic premise here? Yeah, the premise is that they would have been violating Title IX by their interpretation at the moment. And that's what the lawyers I think convinced them of when in fact they could have said any number of things there too rigid these women were not Smart train. They're nuts well, they probably weren't smart but they weren't trained in obfuscation and how to talk to agencies Properly and how the beat around the bush the proper way Happy Hanukkah Merry Christmas of the many producers Thank you for your faith I hope all have a blessed holiday season happy Hanukkah Merry Christmas aloha bar No jingles no karma And we thank you profusely sir Animas of dog patch on lower slobovia

3:21:31 a pony for Christmas. He lives at a senior living location in Yuba City and as you see here, they teamed up with Blue Zones Project to make his dream come true. Oh and as you see here, he was all smiles when he was finally able to pet that cute pony pony, something that he had wished for when he was a kid. I have to keep thinking that I wrote this letter to Santa Claus 90 years ago and never got my pony but this time i got it so just don't give up hope and keep wishing Santa Claus eventually come through Yes, he will. Mr. Berg's advice to children is to not be surprised if you don't get what you want immediately but keep wishing and believing and eventually as you heard him say it might indeed come true

3:24:35 the buildup in the north just like that so we're behind the north again so we're gonna bomb them. We'll take the heat right over christmas tree and then it's christmas They are coming for us.

I have two words for you Predator drones You will never see it coming Every nation and every region now has a decision to make Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists

3:25:34 the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq. I mean, of Ukraine... Iraq too. Anyway Well, we should have kept the oil while we got out. And you know it's very interesting had we taken the oil You wouldn't have ISIS because they fuel themselves with the oil that's where they got the money So you believe we can go in and take the oil? We should have taken the oil When I searched John McCain on YouTube The biggest thing that comes up is you singing bomb bomb bomb bomb bomb Iran 744 thousand hits in case you haven't checked it recently are you proud or embarrassed of them

3:26:10 I'm proud. Look, when i'm in the company of veterans which I was and one of them says to me when are you going to send a message to Iran and we're joking around? I'm gonna joke around and if someone doesn't like it my advice to them is to lighten up Do you still stand by your call to have Putin be assassinated? Yeah, I hope he'll be taken out one way or the other. I don't care how they take him out How dare you! Watch out where the Huskies go, don't you eat that yellow snow. When I was small I believed in medicine If i was sick I'd tell my dad And from the doctor we get a prescription Opened the bottle and I'd be glad But now it's painted by big pharma business

3:29:13 I took on Putin in terms of Iraq. I mean, excuse me, in terms of what was going on Ukraine. 200 and I suffered the pressure! He wasn't really elected. Elected president by acclamation. Massive voter fraud was detected It's a right for people that bad to count their... His son is a real creep. Broke my leg down The swamp is pretty deep. I'm gonna give you the whole load today, then watch the hair come back up again. True Internet suffered a pressure.
