Deputary

00:00 I'm going nowhere. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorah. This is your award winning Gilmore Nation Media assassination episode 1623! This is no agenda. Deconstructing decompression and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six In The Morning everybody. I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody agrees that the NFL season is too long, I'm John C. Dvorak. When's the Super Bowl? Oh a couple months. Oh that's too long! I thought it was January... oh wait no January is the Oscars. It used to be as a matter of fact like uh around 14th I think. See I remember and I remember used to be yeah I knew that. Yeah now it's in February March. I think it's February

00:54 You read about that conspiracy about the Super Bowl logo that you apparently can see? Yeah. So, the colors determine who's going to be in it. The colors that are in the newly designed logo at the beginning of the year are the colors of the teams and the game. Hey your volume is low I can jack you up here but your really outputting low did you change something? Nope Let me check. Why do I even ask? Why do you ask, I never change anything because i don't use this whole rig except once a week. I'm just gonna jack you up here man. It's regular! it is not but okay... It is! No, I'm going to jack you up here. Normally I have you plus two dog biscuits now I've got yet five so just saying maybe it's the connection no it's not the connection

01:51 The connection, it could be clean feed. Connection is protection Yeah sure Well you got no protection here This thing is no good Anyway so its okay I just jacked you up a bit Just want to make sure you gate the gate man Well well well It was very hard for the M5M to admit what was really going on What's going on? About this hole in the plane There's a hole in the plane The hole in the plane. You know, the way they made it when this story first appeared... I don't have any clips you probably do or maybe i do but whatever the case when they first showed the shot of it from the inside of the plane they made it sound like the side of the plane just flew like a hole yeah like a window and uh but there's a door! It was a door assembly that's the point

02:47 And they never mention this until later reports. Exactly! And I what's going on you must have some side thoughts on this. I do first Let's play the most recent update flight 128 to carrying a hundred and seventy seven passengers was 35 minutes into its journey from Oregon to Ontario California when part of the fuselage was torn off leaving a hole in the side of the aircraft The pilot was forced to alert aircraft control to the severity of the situation be pressurized but we do need to return back. Passengers spoke of hearing a loud bang before emergency oxygen masks dropped video footage shot on board shows the dangling masks and a huge gap where the windows should have been and the passengers themselves staying remarkably calm I look to my left, there's this huge chunk part of the airplane just like missing and the wind is extremely loud there's wind blowing everywhere What was it?

03:44 The plane landed safely at Portland to the relief of all on board, among them Evan Smith. There's not anything I have any control over and it's just wait and see what happens. And they said there was a kid in that row who his shirt was sucked off him and out of the plane. This this everyone had this bit and their shirt was sucked. I'm going to question that part of the report Like there was that and then the other one, which a lot of them I have on report for PBS. The PBS version from yesterday if you want to play that. Yeah, but see what did the other thing they kept throwing? They kept throwing into the mix was this cell phones. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cell phone flew out now. Well, I question that because who's nobody is on their cell phone in these on these everybody's arm there. So when's the last time you flew well covid

04:36 Everyone's on their cell phone, everybody. They're watching movies they're playing games that if home I well if you're watching movie yeah then you wouldn't have a people are on their phones John please like these days there's no in-flight entertainment You get what? You connect to the Wi-Fi and you can either pay for the internet or you can watch the movies on your phone How many laptops went out the window? You need to get out of the house. I'm going nowhere! Late today, the FAA ordered a temporary worldwide grounding of about 171 Boeing 737 MAX 9s until planes can be inspected It comes after a window blew out of a months old 739 MAX 9 last night at about 16 thousand feet six minutes after Alaska Airlines flight took off from Portland Oregon

05:27 The rapid depressurization sucked a t-shirt off of child. No one was seriously hurt and the plane made an emergency landing safely back in Portland. How come no one interviewed the mom? that they got everybody, everybody they interviewed but they don't have the mom or the kid whose T-shirt got sucked off. I would think that would be one person you'd interview and in this second one this report just came out yesterday This is from yesterday's PBS weekend news hour And again it sounded like a window blew out when it was an entire door assembly Well yes so first what is the reason for covering that up? Well because it's really

06:07 the airlines who have made determinations about your safety. And this comes from our buddy Joe over there to Anil Ria, which is airline backwards I have a hardest time remembering that URL. I have to look up his email every single time E-N-I-L-R-I-A Airline reverse Anyway... Anil Ria He says okay he says it was a door plug that came off Because Alaska Airlines with every other single airline, I think there's one. There's one of the low-cost European carriers when they receive these planes brand new they have determined by law and I don't know when this was or by FAA regulation don't know when this was determined that you only need one emergency exit per 50 seats

07:02 So, these planes come equipped with an emergency door right there where the hole blew out. But then they modify these planes after they come off the assembly line so that can put in a couple extra seats and the door plugs that hold that assembly in place minus the slide, minus all this stuff you would normally have there If the door plug, it should never blow out because this is a... The door plug is that basically a fake door that's been put in there. And it should never blow out because of its design which is concave But this plane had previous pressurization problems Oh they didn't mention that in the report Good work PBS! Good work BBC So either they over-pressurized

07:53 Or there may have been, which could have been for passenger comfort. 16,000 feet you're pressurizing at that point. You're pressurizing pretty quickly actually so overpressurization then maybe they under-pressurized and the thing just blew right out but it's all... So it's pilot error probably or aircraft error that's possible But the bottom line is there should just be an emergency door there, the way it comes off the assembly line. Just a squeeze in a few extra seats they might have and they're approved of course but if you have a hole in the plane where you have a door that comes off the assembly line like that maybe it would modify them up front

08:38 Instead of putting a door plug in there. That's really that it makes no sense. Yeah, they don't care boy They don't care about you They don't care they don't care about your safety at all at all So that's really what what happened is? You know this is a modified plane where they put a plug in there instead of the door. I will never sit next to that spot ever, in any plane if I know it's there which you'd have to know because you can't really tell and so the reason...the fact that they really didn't talk about a door in most of their reports To me a little suspicious. And no one- Yeah, that is very suspicious because when you see the side of the plane when they finally- It's a door! They did show that it's a door I know, I know So this news model had something else on her mind Developing news now Alaska Airlines is grounding its fleet of 736 9 max jets after Really? 736 nine Is that what you're thinking of What a gaffe that is

09:42 How do you get from 737 max 9 to 736.9? I may have heard that a couple of times myself, maybe there's just a bunch of jokers! Maybe... whatever the case... All aboard trains good planes bad And I and just because it was a female pilot doesn't mean anything. In fact, it's probably the first officer who monitors pressurization But there's lots of stuff going on with these DEI hires and we've talked about it you know we know that lot of ex-navy and Air Force pilots can't get a job because After they after they leave service because you have to either be gay black or female to get a job

10:31 That's what all the airlines are hiring. And this was someone on X, was xing, slashing tweeting to United Airlines because this person knows what's going on with aviation. On July 29th at United On July 29th, the United plane was nearly totaled after a hard landing. Who was flying that aircraft? Was it the co-pilot or former flight attendant who was fired and then rehired through United's DEI program despite being on list to not return to United? Am I correct that this individual failed multiple trainings including simulator training? Am i also correct that united has covered up this DEI disaster and many others? Was the number two at the Denver hiring center also onboarded through DEI did she or did she not change

11:19 failed grades for DEI hires because, quote, it makes the numbers look bad? Didn't the instructor who failed this copilot ask corporate why they passed him?" This is a disaster that's going on. And of course we know all the ATC guys are stoned and drunk—they told us so ourselves—that's great! So you know they're forcing people on the trains. That's always how it winds up get on the train So you've learned something here. You can sound smart now at the water cooler tomorrow when everyone's talking about other stuff, you say hey, you know what? That was an actual door and they take that door out because they want to jam more seats in! What...that's a safety issue. That's what they should be looking at not anything else but of course let's ground the whole fleet I'm sure it's a problem modifying it after-the-fact so there ya go, your up to speed

12:24 Sounds like it Let's just do something completely Completely off topic from news because I was so I was so excited to get this clip this morning Norman Lear passed away last year and we know that Norman Lear was part of the Hollywood he started the Hollywood Foundation which Created a lot of propaganda. There was actually called the Norman Lear foundation Was it called the... I thought it was the Hollywood Foundation. No, Norman Lear. Are you sure? Yeah Because we have a clip of the Hollywood Foundation. I don't think there is a Hollywood foundation Let me see foundation Foundation Hollywood that's what it is hold on Lear Foundation Holly... Oh no! I'm sorry You're right Lear Foundation Hollywood That's what it was Health and Society So we've talked about Norman Lear how influential his

13:25 his programming was, and I would say that we always thought the most influential was All in the Family which really created this Archie Bunker archetype which would have been a traditional Democrat back in the day but it's positioned as a Republican. And that really changed certainly United States' image of what a blue-collar Republican looks like right? When there was no such thing. Well he created that, he created that MAGA Archie Bunker OGMAGA so Desmond Wilson most people won't know his name He was Lamont on Sanford and Son legendary legendary show with Red Fox

14:11 That was what it was called, right? Sanford and Son. They ran a junkyard together. Desmond Wilson is interviewed by some podcaster because he was asked to question about Norman Lear by some M5M guy and yet he's got something in his craw about Norman Lear. In this relatively short clip He lays out just a little bit more of the genius of Norman Lear. What was the main point you were trying to make clear about Norman Lear that he wasn't involved with Sanford and Son as much, he was given credit for? The main thing was what a lot of people missed I said when my agent called me and said watch this show I said I don't want to do television

14:56 And I watched the show, and came away thinking this is the beginning of the dissolution of the patriarchal system. On the heels of that, the announcer tried to cut me off and said let me finish Because on the heels of that came married with children and then all of a sudden parents became idiots and kids became all-knowing Women young women started calling their mother BITCH word and rebelling, and it all started Norman Lee I said they asked me what I said. I could I will say this about him he was a visionary right but then when I heard about his political affiliations It all fell into place and I knew that, I knew I was right on the money.

15:41 No, I said it went on and on and on ad infinitum And what we're experiencing now is the evolution of what Norman Lear started with all in the family. And nobody got it They missed it totally they said oh Devon's talking about Norman didn't have... I said you people have been so dumbed down like Malcolm said some of us We're gonna have to leave behind You too brainwashed to understand Demond Wilson not Desmond Demond Wilson I just love that. I never considered that it started with Sanford and Son, makes so much sense Well he himself said it started with All in the Family Right but it was yes All In The Family but really when the child-parent relationship broke apart was Sanford and Son married with children we forget that one

16:37 Yeah, but that wasn't Norman Lear. No but it was a follow-on and it was the whole start of everything It was the extreme version of everything Well to this day I think Married with Children is a curious genius level of programming Oh yeah and everyone loved it Dads were proud of me. I'm like Ted Bundy, I sit there with my hand in my pants watching the TV People loved it was great yeah little did you know little did you know? I'll just stick with transgenderism for a second. Well you know what, just before you change the subject completely The new networks that have evolved from the open-air digital system

17:28 And if you get OTA antennas, there's MeTV, MeTV2. There's antennae. There's a bunch of these networks and they've got no programming. They're not going to do any but there is so much stuff in the can that they're recycling it. So the public at large is getting to watch black and white material from the late 50s and mid 60s, including Ozzie & Harriet and Leave It to Beaver. And these shows which have a completely different mentality than any of the program that came after Norman Lear. Right.

18:10 fascinating to watch some of these old dog shows that are, you know, many of them are put together especially Leave It To Beaver. They're put together so beautifully by producers back then who really knew what they were doing as opposed to the kind of the slop that comes out today it's It's very contrasting. I don't know what effect that is going to have on the American psyche, but it is going to have something. Some. So...I liked the two shows I liked. There was one that I can't find anymore really but the one that I like on OTA is Gunsmoke! Gunsmoke? Gunsmoke is on a couple of channels. Yeah, well of course. Heroes and Icons I think is that channel How about Little House On The Prairie

18:54 Little House on the Prairie is on. I have not seen it, what's that on? Where can i find...I love Little House! Oh, I cant remember which one of these networks, its one of these screwy networks. I loved Little House On The Prairie. I read those books! I thought that show was the worst. I hated Little House On The Prairie and the fact that it's on now makes me mad. It makes you mad?! It makes me mad! Its so stupid No but it was beautiful Have you ever read the books No, of course not. These are good books that Laura Ingalls wrote this about the pioneer I mean it was not the same as the TV show Paul the man those It was hard times back in the day. Oh Yeah when they were settling settling the West yeah, that's good stuff a group

19:45 I don't know if it started in the US, but there's a British group now. Just...I want to stick in the trans-Maoism which of course Norman Lear had a hand in as to where we are today But I find this so peak woke and so disturbing that this has now taken the UK by storm. Drag Syndrome is celebrating their big premiere in Berlin, they're Britain's first professional drag collective for performers with Down syndrome. The feeling I get when i'm performing is to be more myself. Hey, I'm Nick aka Nikita Gold, Dame Nikita Gold. I am Adam Wilde aka Lady Mercury.

20:41 Gregory is a quite loyal lady. She likes to work and show off. Nick, Adam and the other members of Drag Syndrome take on different personas when on stage For them it's a rebellion against society And a statement for more diversity and inclusion for people with disabilities Plus it's a whole lot of fun Since the group was formed in 2018 The members have toured on several continents. They've also performed at the famous Glastonbury Festival and for the fashion magazine, Vogue It's still rare to see people with Down Syndrome performing on stage The Dance Collective wants to encourage other people with disabilities to pursue their passion

21:30 This really disturbs me. I've worked with all kinds of Downey end of civilization you're And by the way instead doing that they should all be united pilots what? What did she say, I said he should be United pilots So yeah, I've worked with downies in a lot of different situations called down ease by the way and a lot of situations and I'm sure that they love performing, but i'm pretty sure they're not necessarily drag queens people who need to perform as women which is usually gay men. Usually it's you know this is just making a mockery! It's so woke and so yeah exactly they should just put them up in the cockpit if you want them on stage and drag have him fly around

22:23 I worked with a very famous Dutch downy band called the Josti Band. Did they ever tell this story? Nope! It was a Josti Band, j-o-s-t-i you can look it up they're still around the Josti Band, Yosty and so they would perform... They would perform at..I think i was doing a drive in DJ show or something and they were there And um and the way that uh certainly the keyboardist, they had a couple of keyboardists They, on their keys they had all colors. So they would hit the right colors orange blue yellow you know what to play so they could remember what they're playing but this particular gig they had a confetti can and this confetti cannon goes off there's confetti everywhere! They didn't know what keys to hit anymore because it was all over everything had all these different little colored balls on it ah good times with The Downies

23:16 Oh, God. So anyway I just found this disturbing end of civilization. It sounds it yeah. Yeah it's just so right. It's disturbing. It's disturbing. Like freak shows! Yeah that's exactly this like what is it? The Bearded Lady! Yeah and uh... A lot more of that anyway the 18 feet and 18 foot man with his midget wife oh my goodness So, where do you want to go? I mean there's been obviously been a lot of political news in the United States mainly Trump and Biden. Biden did his big January 6th commemoration speech on January 5th which... Yeah that sounds right Which was completely lame he was definitely jacked

24:12 But he wasn't overjacked. Not overjacked, but I did by chance have dinner with some friends who are in the medical field here...I don't want to take it too far and I said what do you think he was jacked up on? Without skipping a beat my man says adrenochrome No. Yes, and I say is it adrenochrome really? You see yes in powder form you can get adrenochrome in the United States powder. Yeah you can people should look up adrenochrome in the Wikipedia yeah he says that and probably some Parkinson drugs which it's like epinephrine, like on steroids. Epinephrine and steroids but he said adrenochrome Parkinson's drugs He says you got to be careful because you can take it too far But he definitely jacked up on that And the first thing he said was yeah is this not the old Biden This is a different Biden Which I also thought looking at his hair Did we lose the original Biden? This guy doesn't look like him anymore

25:18 Well, that's a good question. It is possible I mean we've seen enough movies and know that this is always in the script Doesn't really look like the well he still got to say it might be When did we lose him though? Do we lose them after the original election because he still has the same cadence and he still has the same No, no, I'm not kidding No joke, not a joke. When the applause... and it's like he's triggered when there is an applause line. Yeah yeah that was the OG. He'll say no I'm not kidding! No Joke! He didn't say that at all this time did he? Yes he did. Oh he did? I don't have a copy with me but he did. The first round of applause he got says no i'm not kidding

26:05 And I was thinking about why does he say that? If you're a politician and you get around of applause, have you been getting rounds of applause over the years for people telling you to just move along. Like in other words, you said something big. Yeah yeah yeah clap clap clap go on to the next topic so they're not taking you seriously because he'll say seriously when it gets around of applause. I think we lost the OG Biden in the basement Don't you think that's where the switch happened? Well, it's definitely the same Biden that got elected. And whether this is the original Biden... The real early Joe Biden who was a kind of wise ass and snarky. Yes

26:59 as opposed to the Joe Biden who has hairy legs. I got hairy legs! That Joe Bi-I think that Joe Biden was swapped out before the election. If you're new to The New Agenda... Remember this show, in our show we played the drunk not drunk jingle and we'd play Biden clips and those Biden clip are reminiscent of what were hearing today if your new to The New Agenda Show don't worry it gets better it does people like I'm new to this show they're already talking about two Bidens? I dunno man I have a couple of packages here, um...of his speech. This is-I'll roll these out. ABC!

27:38 Tonight, in his first major speech of the election year. President Biden made the case Donald Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. This is the first national elections since January 6th insurrection placed a dagger at the throat of American democracy sense that now there were some good writing I liked dagger at the throat of American democracy as writing goes if I were writing for him I kind of like that one so that moment we all know who Donald Trump The question we have to answer is, who are we? Another interesting line. Who are we? I think that's well thought out of course when he says that i'm like I don't know you're one of the two Bidens That's what's at stake! Who are we?! Biden traveling to Valley Forge Pennsylvania invoking George Washington's words to his troops At the dawn of the American Revolution A sacred cause...that was a phrase used..a sacred cause

28:38 freedom, liberty, democracy. Today we're here to answer the most important of questions is democracy still America's sacred cause? Now this was never... it wasn't democracy that was the sacred cause. Freedom! Liberty! He says that too but he has this thing about you know they're trying to push this idea this democracy idea and they're pushing it by trying Trump off the ballot yes, or try to arrest them. I think that's fascinating that everyone goes along with this but

29:14 It wasn't about democracy and besides that they were, they hated democracy. They wanted it... That's why they became a republic! Yes but that but that's the psyop and I don't-I wonder if that still lands? It's so oh it's almost like saying Hitler. It's so overused democracy, democracy, democracy is like how do you even lose democracy something we never had to start with but how do you lose it? And then and that was our sacred what he said what did he say exactly that was our sacred sacred cause maybe? Freedom Liberty, democracy. Today we're here to answer the most important of questions Is democracy still America's sacred cause? I think we need to ask chat GPT Can I be of assistance Yes Let's see so chat GPT The question is what is America's sacred cause? Is that what he said

30:11 What is America's sacred cause? Let's see. Chat GPT says the concept of sacred cause can be subjective and interpret blah blah blah some of the core values declaration of independence constitutional values freedom and democracy number three Hmm down at the bottom number five American dream. That's almost off the list it's not even in the top three Just getting by Overtake it Biden accusing Trump of using violence to cling to power Trump exhausted every legal Avenue available to him to overturn the election Everyone but the legal path just took Trump back to the truth Okay, that I'd won the election and he was a loser

31:00 The president, you know the script writers like yeah this will really get his goat. We'll call him a loser he hates it when we do that Yeah, yeah put it in thats good. I had won the election and he was a loser. The President reminded Americans what Trump told that crowd on January 6th He told the crowd to fight like hell And all hell was unleashed. The whole world watched in disbelief, and Trump did nothing. Was among the worst derelictions of duty by a president in American history. The President warning if Trump wins re-election the worse could be yet to come. Trump's not concerned about your future I promise you

31:46 Trump is now promising a full-scale campaign of revenge and retribution. His words Yeah, I was kind of weak Hey You know I was looking at those Rangers or whatever they were the monument did you see any of that footage? No, I did not so I guess there it seemed like Park Rangers They had like park ranger hats on it could have been But but they got like long hair dudes with really long hair that didn't sit right with me sure wasn't women no no No, it was just like hmm you know tats everywhere which is okay I guess that's permissible but when you think of Park Ranger you're thinking of a guy that's got a buzz cut. No your not! I don't Yeah well you don't think of a guy with a mullet

32:33 I think a guy, that's what i would think yeah the guy is a park guy dude likes to be out in nature man there's this chipmunk let's go say hi. But that's not the guy you put up front and center is it? No no we have Park Rangers. If can't get anyone else you got your DEI issue here We have, yeah that's true, we have Park Rangers in Gitmo Nation so they'll let us know shorter Report from NBC. Mr. Trump arguing it's partisan election interference The announcement coming just hours after President Biden visited the Revolutionary War site at Valley Forge Arguing democracy is at stake in November This is not rhetorical, academic or hypothetical Wait Mel, the significance of the Revolutionary War memorial What is that trying to tell us? That we're about to have a revolutionary war against something? Against some China? What are we- what is the point

33:46 That's when America... The point is, it might be a pointer with someone like Biden who is 80. Yes, yes It's pointless! It's totally pointless to the general public that has been dumbed down I would say if you went on the street and asked people what was Valley Forge, who was Valley Forge, where it was Valley Forge or anything. You'd get a zero yeah but the democracy is still America's sacred cause It's there it is democracy is still our sacred cause It's not even number one on the list Joe Is the most urgent question of our time The House did a question Not just a question the most urgent question

34:25 How does it go from, it's a sacred cause and it's a question? Yes. Well the- How is it a question? Most urgent question of our time! It's the president's latest effort to draw contrast with Mr Trump who he's warning isn't existential threat. You know Trump and his MAGA supporters not only embrace political violence but they laugh about it. Trump and his MAGA supporters. That's like deplorable level statement calling his MAGA supporters Mr. Trump in Iowa firing back! That's why Crooked Joe is staging his pathetic fear-mongering campaign event in Pennsylvania today did you see? He saying I'm a threat to democracy he's a threat to da democracy

35:09 I think it's good NBC put that in. And then finally, CBS. Kicking off the election year in battleground state Pennsylvania President Biden directly attacked his once and potentially future foe America as we began this election year We must be clear democracy is on the ballot Your freedom is on the ballot. The president rarely invokes Trump so directly. Trump's assault on democracy isn't just part of his past, it's what he's promising with the future. Trump is not concerned about your future I promise you. Trump is now promising a full-scale campaign of revenge and retribution There's no confusion about who Trump is

35:58 what he intends to do. The speech was meant to remind Americans of Trump's involvement in the January 6th insurrection three years ago Saturday. Trump did nothing, it was among the worst derelictions of duty by a president in American history. And it comes as the President's team believes he can try refocusing on Trump's attempts to overturn the 2020 election results, as the economy turns the corner. Inflation is easing there was another positive monthly jobs report today and gas prices are hitting recent lows Yeah that's actually in Biden's favor He should be talking more about that Yeah well he doesn't even know

36:36 Yeah, but let's go to that when I played Capehart and Brooks because they analyzed this okay Capehart and Brooks Is it so escape? Here's a we're gonna go with I'm trying to decide what these two decision in democracy are but let's go to K-part on Trump. This is about the, this is the level of discourse you have in the liberal elite media and what they actually think. This clip is k part on decision. The Supreme Court deciding today they will consider former President Trump's appeal of the Colorado State Supreme Court decision to remove him from the ballot there that was on the basis of the insurrection clause of the 14th Amendment this Jonathan puts the highest court in the land

37:26 squarely in the center of one of the hottest political battles this year. What's your reaction to them taking this case up and how it's going to unfold? They have to take it up because this is one of those questions, this ballot access question primary ballot access question and the immunity question has never been tested in our lifetimes or in recent memory. And the fact that Colorado and Maine have booted him from the ballot Illinois is trying to join the effort, Minnesota and one other state that skips Michigan have said no. You have a patchwork of states decisions and I think the prosecutor who you had on earlier makes a good point in what we have to look for now is whether the Supreme Court does a big broad universal decision or goes very narrow

38:20 For a court that puts a lot of emphasis on the Constitution and what the framers meant, and strict originalist interpretation. I'm looking forward to seeing them maybe upholding the Colorado decision. That's not what they're going to be arguing about but okay He thinks they should uphold the Colorado decision. Nobody in their right mind thinks this, including Brooks who says he thinks the world would go nuts if that happened but this guy thinks that they should and he's a complete lunatic and he is like one of the main analysts for PBS along with Brooks and listen to his second clip from him where he talks about Trump and Biden speech

39:15 Hold on a second, do I have the right clip here? This is- The BK part on Trump. Democracy. Democracy. Okay. Sure you all saw President Biden deliver that really powerful speech today at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania he is making- Powerful! The threat to American democracy a central part of his reelection campaign what did you make of this speech and also him centering that message for voters right now? Well this is going back to the beginning first this was his fifth speech since his election on this theme of threats to democracy. This is going back to the beginning because when he announced, he was running for president in 2020, he zeroed in on Charlottesville and talked about this as a fight for the soul of America. This speech today did not have that as the title but that's what he's talking about. That's what we talked about today. That's what has been talking about in previous four speeches and I think it is right for him

40:11 to do this, to focus on that. Because without democracy none of the other things that Americans want will get done and... to make a focus on the potential Republican nominee, someone who has said even today saying that you know I'm only going to be a dictator for one day and all of the other plans that we know he wants to put in place if he wins election again. Democracy as we know it will end if Donald Trump is re-elected. Okay! I have one Kpart clip because Kpart not only is on PBS but he's also an MSNBC

40:52 This guy is a piece of work. I mean, this is by far one of the best acting jobs I've ever seen from a news model which of course he is He brings on one of the Capitol policemen who has written a book and this interesting dude By the way, you know really burly dude with a beard and a huge neck tat And, and Capehart introduces him and then just falls apart. Joining me now in studio is Michael Fanone former DC Metropolitan Police Officer Courage for America Council member an author of Hold the Line The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul officer Fanon I'm going to try to get through this thank you

41:42 for what you did three years ago today. He has a hanky and everything! Capehart is fantastic He's an editor at the Washington Post. This is a shameful element in our news media, this joker." I gotta hear that again! I love how the voice cracks he's got the hanky... He's so emotional about this man who- he's a hero! He kept American democracy held aligned for America's soul Officer Fanon? I'm gonna try to get through this

42:25 Thank you for what you did three years ago today. Unbelievable. That was great, he's great! More K-Part I want... He's kind of the new Van Jones isn't Van Jones cry? Ben Drummond maybe is the new Van Jones. That's an interesting point you just made yeah The second half of the k-part group is Brooks Yes, you know you have K part and Brooks they do this analysis every Friday on the PBS NewsHour There's two guys agreeing with each other 90% of the time it's laughable It's great not you get nothing out of it But but you do get to hear a few interesting things Brooks is supposed to be them more

43:13 center-right, even though he's just as left as the other guy. But listen to this because you played a bunch of clips of Biden and his speech and here we go I want to play this is Brooks commenting on the Biden energy. I know we've talked about this before, I mean the economy has been such a big part of their message and even though the data show it is doing really well like when you look at the big picture numbers got 216 thousand jobs added in December inflation rates down to 3.1 percent unemployment below 4% rather for nearly two years and yet that isn't catching on with voters is this message going to resonate?

43:52 It's important but not enough, I think. I thought it was a powerful speech and when he continues to give powerful speeches like this he will further rebut the idea that he is out of it, that he is some doddering old grandpa He is clearly an energetic guy with passion with fervor and force. He is the guy running this administration Where is the sound effect? You didn't have a boeing or anything in there Come on! you needed that! Eww... cute Well, there was a lot about... We have an opinion by the way from our constitutional lawyer on this 14th Amendment Section 3. Which I will get to first we need to have a little mini cut. Now i must spend a moment on something that will garner too much attention over the next few weeks baseless claims by the president and his supporters

44:39 that there's been widespread voter fraud. Baseless claims of voter fraud. Baseless claims of voter fraud. Baseless claims of fraud. Baseless claims of fraud. Baseless claims of voter fraud. Baseless claims of voter fraud. Baseless claims of voter fraud. Baseless claims about voter fraud. Baseless claims about voter fraud. Okay, I think we got the message. Baseless... It's weak! Baseless. It has a base! It's a claim or it's not a claim? It's baseless, whatever it is...it's baseless but every claim has a base and doesn't matter Yes there's a base to every claim you make a claim

45:28 Unless you're claiming, I don't know what you could... What is a baseless claim? The fact that they put the talking point out there. The Democrats did it and did it good job of getting the media to parrot it. Baseless, baseless, baseless! It was successful. Did your job. The word of the day is baseless. All right got it So let's of course Trump is back on the Colorado ballot because the Supreme Court has said they will take the matter up. Former President Trump is set to be certified as a candidate on Colorado's primary ballot despite the state supreme court ruling him ineligible under the 14th amendment I want to bring in senior Washington reporter Devin Dwyer along with senior reporter Catherine Falders for more

46:09 Colorado Secretary of State certifying Trump on the GOP ballot despite that ruling. Right, so this is tied up in the courts a bit here but the bottom line is if an appeal of that was... I like how they just gloss over that you know it's like well this tied up in the courts a bit here blahblahblahblah That's the whole point! is if an appeal of that was filed before today he's essentially back on the ballot. We know the Colorado GOP appealed to the US Supreme Court, that was on December 27th and then Trump's attorneys effectively appealed this on Wednesday January 3rd so that put him back on the list. That's why he of course is scheduled be certified on this ballot today. So until the Supreme Court-and I know Devin could talk more about this but until the Supreme Court essentially picks up the case in acts by a

46:59 either refusing to review the case or by somehow siding with the Colorado Supreme Court. He is essentially, effectively on the list." I love the essentially effectively okay so we got that part. It's hilarious! Essentially effective let's bring in Devin he'll explain what's going on here. Devin when could the US Supreme Court take the case and what's at stake here? This is ABC. Well, Diane the justices are meeting right now for their first regularly scheduled private conference of the year. This is when they consider petitions like President Trump's petition and vote on whether they'll decide to even take up this case. Now ordinarily something like these Trump appeals which just came in in the past few days are sort of too soon to be considered in a conference like this but we know that the parties as Catherine mentioned have asked the Justices

47:47 expedite this. They want a decision quickly and that decision could come as soon as later this afternoon whether they will expedite consideration not necessarily that they'll take the case but But, Diane the justices are not on any fixed timeline so they can rule whenever they want to and they're gonna wanna be careful. This is a historic case, a highly divisive and political case one of the biggest cases politically that they will have heard or had a chance to consider since Bush versus Gore 20 years ago. So they're gonna wanna take their time and potentially take some off ramps here. Well I've been talking to our constitutional lawyer Rob Forbren-Jagg he's been around

48:24 Then, and he's... I put it all in the show notes his entire opinion. It's quite lengthy And he really broke it all down this section three And, you know he's analyzing the text the way you read it. Of course you have the traditionalists who might say we have to read it in the context of when it was written. He goes through all that but he says I believe that section 3 likely does indeed apply to the president even though it is a close call But That probably won't be the issue The issue will come down to, okay then if Trump was an insurrectionist which has yet to be proven somewhere. Section 5 comes into play which reads the Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provisions of this article

49:19 And you're already kind of hearing that narrative spin up where, okay the Supreme Court can say yes they'd apply it to the president but and they probably would put a but. Congress has to determine what sanctions you put on this, and to my knowledge that has never been done. And when it says the Congress I'm presuming that's...I don't know what rules that would go under if it's a straight up-and-down majority vote or if you need a supermajority obviously would be the House of Representatives and the Senate so that could You know, the House would probably say yes or no and the Senate would probably say yes based upon straight party line votes. But I think this could actually be a gambit and possibly because Trump wants it. He says, I want to know let's get this out there does this apply to me? It could be a boomerang effect if you know there's a lot of what was that guy from Louisiana, The Gruff Guy he's on some important committee

50:25 I mean, Kennedy. No no no no different guy forget his name bald guy he's a kind of tough guy tough guy okay he was on Tucker so he claims that there were approximately 200 federal agents inside and in the crowd on January 6th If that somehow comes out and they have some kind of, we have a year to do it basically. And we have some hearings and then you know determined well hold on a second this was a scam well then Biden would be directly involved in an insurrection! Then it could apply to him wishful thinking maybe but there's something up with Trump wanting this so quickly yeah yeah we want this

51:22 There's something going on here that I think it'll come down to, will Congress do this? Does Congress have the power. And so now of course we have to start determining if well two things really what Trump did Trump started insurrection What was his role and George Stephanopoulos They had a rundown and I guess they got Jonathan Karl to report on Dan Scavino, and others who were under oath. Good morning and welcome to this week as we mark three years since the January 6th insurrection The 2024 election is shaping up to be a referendum on what happened that day And what it means for the future of our democracy That was the theme of President Biden's first campaign speech Friday As he blasted Donald Trump for January 6th Blasted! Trump did nothing

52:16 was among the worst derelictions of duty by a president in American history. An attempt to overturn a free and fair election by force and violence. And in Iowa this weekend, Trump responded with repeated lies about the 2020 election and calls to free the convicted January 6th rioters whom he called hostages. This morning we have exclusive new reporting on what Trump is doing at the White House on January six as the rioter search through the Capitol chief Washington correspondent John Carl starts us off good morning John. Good morning George Exclusive, exclusive inside detailed reporting. Now Scavino was... We have to remember John Carl member of the Council on Foreign Relations head of the correspondence and the whole thing. Spook! Yes exactly. Super lefty

52:59 Dan Scavino was the White House deputy chief of staff. Before that he managed Trump's Westchester Golf Club They should have thrown that in I don't know why they missed that interesting detail You're right, it's dumb! I don't get why they keep missing stuff like this They're sloppy Well, Jonathan Karl I guess he had his marching order so he just did what he was supposed to do. Dan Scavino has known Donald Trump since he was 15 years old worked for him for more than three decades starting as his golf caddy nobody inside the White House outside of family That's good! The golf caddy is great Had a closer relationship with him The great Dan Scavino most powerful man in politics

53:43 Scavino. Great editing, I mean this is good you that's the sound bite you want. Who helped manage Trumps Twitter Instagram and Facebook accounts it also one of just a handful people who were with Trump on January 6th as the attack on the Capitol was unfolding The January 6 committee wanted to talk to him but he defied their subpoena after court battle he did finally talked to special counsel Jack Smith team investigators Scavino's office was just outside the Oval Office and sources familiar with the investigation tell ABC News, Scavino told investigators he went in to see Trump as soon as he saw that violence had broken out at the Capitol. Now remember, he has already said sources familiar with the matter so this is all conjecture that comes now

54:28 The next 50 seconds is all just whatever sources familiar with the matter said. No one's on record. And he described Trump sitting in his small dining room next to the Oval Office, his arms folded staring at the television watching live coverage of the attack on Fox News This is beautiful! There is no... there is literally this is baseless There's no evidence, it's just sources. It is baseless. Sources familiar with the matter now describing you can see Trump sitting there arms folded scowling looking at the television by himself like a crazy man. Trump was angry Skavino told investigators according to the sources saying the election had been stolen from him and that his supporters were quote angry on his behalf as has been described by the January 6th committee report Wait hold on a second

55:19 You have to, Scavino comes in and he says the election was stolen from me and they're acting on my behalf. What kind of dialogue is this? Well it's propaganda! Is what it is, of course. That's how you set the narrative! That's how you get people to sit there and look at a half-dead guy who was president and go yeah four more years. Stolen from him and that his supporters were quote angry on his behalf as has been described by the January 6th committee report other advisors came in to see Trump as well including White House lawyers chief of staff Mark Meadows and eventually his daughter Ivanka Trump all

55:58 urging him to make some kind of statement telling his supporters to leave the Capitol. The sources say Scamino described Trump as non-responsive and his demeanor is quote very unsettling, as he continued staring at the TV soon he told investigators all of the advisers left the room leaving Trump alone. Oh please! You know this is reminding me of this of the narrative that was created And people older who you might even remember this During Nixon's just before Nixon quit He resigned from the presidency because he was gonna be impeached and The end of media created and then this goes back by the way, there are media deconstruction We could have been doing this show 30 years ago in it. It wouldn't have been much different

56:51 They created the notion and it's again unsubstantiated but it became fact that's kind of like this. It reminds me of the J Edgar Hoover address which turns out to be bogus, yep. But Nixon was crawling around on his hands and knees in the White House! Yes I remember that yes I was young but yeah sure do And we get that stuck in our mind because the media created the image of Nixon crawling around on his hands and he's there is no evidence of this. By the same token I always have the image of President Obama

57:29 smoking cigarettes in the residence watching basketball games. I mean, that's also...I'm sure that's bullcrap too but that probably is the image that was created of him. Yeah, he quit smoking. No he never quit smoking. But i'm sure you watched a lot of basketball and loved it. Okay, so now we continue with Jonathan Karl's report. It is great reporting Jonathan it is just fabulous And John this all comes of course as Donald Trump is still making the 2020 election central to his 2024 campaign Yeah and George this a very important point according to our sources Yeah! It's very... yeah I heard that too and you usually catch him better than i do but that was obvious. Very! Why is he laughing? Well, I don't know if he's laughing but it's more like very... campaign. Yeah and George this is a very important point He IS laughing. That's laughing This is very...

58:21 He knows it's not an important point. He is making this up, he is a liar! Yeah and George this is very important point according to our sources Scavino was asked directly Our sources? I mean this is not journalism It's just not. Who is your- No, it's gossip! I mean you could even say a source in the White House or some- Give me the- This is our sources, this is gossip Whether or not he- His mother will be TMZ He saw any evidence that there was vote fraud enough to overturn results of any state Wait a minute wait let me go back here A court- Let me see what he's actually saying And George, this is a very important point. According to our sources, Scavino was asked directly whether or not he saw any evidence that there was vote fraud enough to overturn the results in any state? He said no variations of that exact question have been asked by virtually everybody who served Donald Trump at the White House and under oath they have said over regret again that none of them

59:21 any evidence that the election was stolen. They may have said different things publicly, but under oath they deny any knowledge that the election had significant fraud." This is fantastic! So you take some unrelated people who were under oath and said no-no-no and then they tie that to Scavino which is something sources say I mean it may all very well be true but come on this is not journalism Jonathan Karl But the other thing is, why are they still fussing about this? Even Hillary after the 2016 election and everybody was denying Trump made the one that was the same thing. And they were into Trump denialism and he's not a legitimate president, he's not my president blah blah blah blah blah. After two years of that within two years it ended

1:00:14 This is never-ending. What is the reason for them, this too much objecting? You know what is it the old phrase where you object too much? It's your cues! Just complaining to much... You doth protesteth too much The lady doth protesteth too much I think that's what it is Well, I think its coming down to a showdown Then I have the clips that will possibly show us that this is true. We have the current Speaker of the House versus the former Speaker of the House, it's going to come down to who do you trust the most? Of course we have these trials that could take place with Jack Smith's investigation and also the Supreme Court taking up this challenge to President Trump on the 14th Amendment Do you believe Donald Trump engaged in insurrection

1:01:05 Yes, I think that he engaged in insurrection. I think that he incited an insurrection and again that he would not stop what was going on as his own people said this is your legacy smoke coming from the Capitol is your legacy yes I do believe that who said that? Who believed who said that this is your legacy was that sources who said that I never heard it. All i remember which they don't want to bring up especially with Nancy Pelosi there, they don't want to bring up the fact that Trump requested National Guard troops at the Capitol just to prevent such a thing from happening and she refused to bring them in!

1:01:44 How come that's never brought up as some sort of thing that maybe defends him? And that her daughter was there with her documentary camera crew to document this story. There you go, another element. Pelosi is the smoke and gun here because she was... She is part of the plot! ...and again he would not stop what was going on as his own people said this is your legacy smoke coming from the Capitol is your legacy. Yes, I do believe that and it's a most unfortunate situation our founders knew that we could have a rogue president they didn't realize at the same time we could have a rogue Senate and Congress. I just think after all this happened

1:02:28 Poop on the floor of the Congress. Defecation, blood... POOP! POOP! POOP ON THE FLOOR! Was there poop? That's like San Francisco She should be used to it. Poop on the floor of the Congress, defecation blood disrespect for the people who maintain the Capitol coming after Pence coming after me and the rest that... Pence coming after me in the rest? Wow this is getting good Nance! A great majority other Republicans in the House voted not to accept So Madam Speaker Okay so this is good because she's floundering a little bit here at the end we have a second clip

1:03:08 And I have a feeling that she's not sure that the case is as tight as people would like to believe it is. That he clearly participated and incited an insurrection. So Madam Speaker, if you believe he engaged in insurrection under the plain meaning of the 14th Amendment You believe he's ineligible to be president? Those laws, those are up to the states. They have different laws from state to state I don't think he should ever have been president Did you say something? Yeah, I said no It shouldn't be up to the States and if it's up to the States...I hope that Kay Parks Wright in the Supreme Court says well it's up to the States and let the States do it That means that Biden will be taken off the Florida ballot

1:03:57 Just saying, DeSantis already said if this is the case we can take Biden off the Florida ballot because he's been his derelict of duty for stopping the hordes coming in from Mexico. I think she's waffling here she's waffling she stuttering she's not certain of the case here She has... This is not airtight Those laws, those are up to the states. They have different laws from state to state I don't think he should ever have been president but nonetheless... Who sniffed there? Was that Nance? I don't think he should ever have been president but nonetheless... I need a toot! George step back

1:04:51 Hold on a second, I'll be good in a second bro. I don't think he should ever have been president but nonetheless... Wow, see even thought to talk like that for a second. ...to state I don't think he should ever have been president but nonetheless But that... I just got a hit of some remnants. There is a view of the Constitution in Article 14, Section 3 that he should not be able to run for president but that's not the point now. That's not the point! Okay, what's the point? Is again different states have different laws. We don't think in California that it applied In our state That's what the decision was made here But anyway not to go into that because that's very intricate Not to go into that interesting yeah you're right She does not want that to happen but she sounds she sounds worried about What is very clear Well hold on a second stop

1:05:50 She said that's not the point and she was gonna say the point. Does she say the point? She missed the point! She moved to California talking about California, but that's not the point if that's not the point what's the point let's figure it out able to run for president But that's not the point now is Again different states have different laws we don't think in California that it applied in our state. That's what the decision was made here, but anyway not to go into that because that is very intricate. What is very clear is that the American people want us to honor our oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States

1:06:30 I, you know being from Baltimore and proud of the national anthem. And in it says proof through the night that our flag was still there we have to prove through this campaign in the night that our flag is still there with liberty and justice for all and not have an acceptance of Confederate flags under Lincoln's dome with a president sitting in the White House doing nothing to stop the violence to stop the violence. He talks about the big steal as he engages in the big lie." This is my point, she has nothing! She has no point all she says is well the states it's not that point the state is not the point well let's go to the current speaker of the house Mike Johnson

1:07:12 By the way, crazy guy believes in God. He has a sky daddy gotta be careful of this guy no separation of church and state who he's very wookie scary so we'll bring in Margaret Brennan from CBS to grill him 2021 you were the lawmaker who circulated that legal brief known as The Texas Amicus Brief challenging the 2020 election outcome in a number states which by CBS editorial standards makes you an election denier. Ooh, he's an election denied by CBS standards! Oh wait... By CBS she says, by CBS editorial standards it makes you an election denier

1:07:57 So in other words, doing what's legal and proper and going through the process of putting together this brief by going through that process by their editorial standards. Yes they have standards? That's amazing! You're an election denier because you did the work It's great Who runs this country CBS News We have the standards. I have read extensively some criticisms of that. You've read commentary about the brief, but not what we submitted to the court. But you recognize that President Biden won the 2020 election? Can you just put that aside as an issue? President Biden was certified as a winner in the election he took the oath of office and has been president for three years The argument that we presented to the court which is our only avenue to do so Was that the Constitution was clearly violated in the 2020 election It's Article 2 Section 1 And anyone can Google it and read it for themselves

1:09:07 The system by which you choose electors to elect the President of the United States must be done by the individual states and that this system must be ratified with state legislatures. That is language, plain language out of the Constitution. So we still have issues? with the validity of the 2020 election. The Constitution was violated in the run up to the 2020 election, not always in bad faith but in the aftermath of COVID many states changed their election laws in ways that violated that plain language it's just a fact we presented that argument and those facts to the court and it was never directly addressed because the Texas litigation but that was the only vehicle we had to present that issue squarely to the court

1:09:51 So she has not read the brief. And of course he's right, this was discussed ad nauseum about the changes that were made but that doesn't matter because you know Liz Cheney Your colleague Liz Cheney your former colleague wrote Mike Johnson and our Republican leaders have played a destructive role You, you she says convinced 125 other Republican members of Congress to sign on to an amicus brief That many never read Just like you didn't just like you didn't read it Like she didn't read it that many never read.

1:10:34 Margaret, you ignorant slut. That would have been funny but no man of God won't do that. You might have contributed in some way to January 6th? I don't spend much time responding to Liz Cheney's criticism these days. Liz Cheney worked with the Democrats on the January 6th Select Committee to make all this even more politicized than it was She was a close friend and colleague before she made those choices Which is why she was surprised, she said. Well I'm surprised that she's giving that criticism because during that process Liz and I were in constant dialogue about that and at one point she even considered signing on to that bill. And I'll tell you that is a fact. To that amicus brief. We talked about it at great length and we had a difference of opinion on the law and people can agree or disagree on that but I'm telling you that the plain language of the Constitution has never changed. A laugh tale! Why is Mike Johnson laughing here?

1:11:31 Because the Constitution hasn't changed? It's ridiculous. We talked about that at great length and we had a difference of opinion on the law, and people can agree to disagree on that but I'm telling you that the plain language of the Constitution has never changed What do you think that's about? Why is he all jitty? What's he all laughtely about? I have no idea...I'm baffled by it Well I think its because the Constitution hasn't changed How bout this I'm so certain of what i'm doing. You morons, the constitution hasn't changed! And people can agree to disagree on that but... ...I'm telling you that the plain language of the Constitution has never changed and what happened in many states by changing election laws without ratification by state legislators is a violation of the Constitution That's a plain fact no one can dispute Okay we'll wrap it up with uh... How do you make sense of the idea that

1:12:24 have issues with the validity of the 2020 election, but you have to negotiate. talk with the President of the United States, Joe Biden. This is water under the bridge I mean when when the Supreme Court passed on the Texas litigation and did not address the issue...I believe in the rule of law this is our system we move forward on it. I work with President Biden as the president of the United States! I think that he will be a one-term president but you know this discussion about what happened in 2020 is yesterday's news There's something there that we don't understand, but Mike Johnson does. The Supreme Court passing on that somehow has something to do with this maybe our constitutional lawyer can explain. But regardless we need to psyop the American people at least people who watch MSNBC and explain how an alternate slate of basically how the electoral system works because

1:13:25 Nancy Pelosi was partially right. You said, you know our Constitution was set up to deal with a rogue president it was really set up to make sure that no nut jobs become president that's what the Electoral College is about the confusion in the United States is that you vote for the president you don't! In fact the states most states I think you'll have to correct me John can send a whole bunch of other people to Washington DC for a whole different candidate. It's not even up to the voters, am I correct? I think it is technically possible but I don't know that mechanism anymore doesn't happen so it hasn't happened before. Maybe it happened in the 1800s This was what was happening States were sending alternate slate of electors in the mainstream media known as fake electors

1:14:26 Yeah, they're right. They would use the term fake. So Roger Stone does understand this process going speaking of Nixon and Ari Melber pulls it all apart One Trump ally who's actually flown under the radar Even in the coup case that I just mentioned is being brought by Smith and yet he's a very famous figure Roger Stone You may recall He was flanked by Oath Keepers on January 6th. He seen right there outside a DC hotel Now we reported on Stone discussing and coordinating a plot to try to get states and electors to overthrow the results that had Trump losing. And Stone discussed this idea about Trump trying to just push forward alternate electors, like a type of government fraud that then could sow chaos that could somehow help them steal the race in the sixth.

1:15:16 You may remember some of this has now been further documented, some of it happened. Here's what we have on tape. Any legislative body may decide on the basis of overwhelming evidence of fraud to send electors to the electoral college who accurately reflect the president's legitimate victory in their state which was illegally denied him through fraud. That is what he was saying. Separately and over time, we know that electors who pushed actual fraud have now been indicted or civilly sued in several states Stone denies wrongdoing He says the state could legally exercise the kind of authority he discussed there And amidst these reports We want to make sure you know that he previously posted online That he never plotted the seating of fake electors

1:16:09 I've interviewed him before and we welcome to come back on the beat if he wants to discuss the story, but that is his public response. To some of this? Yeah! He never... for fake electors alternate slate yes fake electors no right Right! Right, right, right, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep In the words, in the words of these guys are just twisting. They're called alternate is twisted. Yeah they're called alternates it's and so I think this fits in with Mike Johnson saying you know the Constitution was violated

1:16:54 Trump sent alternate slate and they have now been indicted or civilly sued. That means, okay so no one's in jail? No one's been convicted of anything of any wrongdoing certainly not to being an alternate slate I don't know then will this ultimately come down... So you think somethings up Yes! There is just too much discussion Yeah Nancy Pelosi is not sounding confident And Mike Johnson sounds overly confident. Yeah, he's cocky! Yes he is... yes he is Well you know we've seen this kind of thing it reminds me of what's the guy that's doing that one committee who keeps coming on things and

1:17:40 He's so overconfident, it's ludicrous. He hasn't done anything really. One guy's name is kind of got the round kind of a cube head. Cube? Cubehead guy. What topic does he... Is that the... He's running one of the investigative committees in the House. House investigation of something Biden He's the one that is doing the Biden family investigation. Yeah, the Comer? Comer? Comer! Yeah, that guy. Yeah, Cubehead. Cubehead Comer. Boy we're not shallow

1:18:17 No, we're not us. We're not superficial well speaking of appearances Let's go to Nimrod Haley's campaign recently sidetracked when a voter asked about the cause of the Civil War and she did Not mention slavery an answer she later clarified What do you say to people who? Say that you've really had challenges when it comes to talking about race. We were the only Indian family in our small southern town I was teased every day for being brown. So anyone that wants to question it can go back and look at what i've said on how hard it was to grow up in the deep south as a brown girl The civil war has always been known about slavery, I misread it and thought he was looking for a bigger answer going forward You got duped Nimrod! DUPED

1:19:10 Brown girl in the ring. Fa la la la la, she got duped. She got duped! Over done. She's just sending money back. Some Silicon Valley boys I know personally that are largely responsible for this What do you mean? They talk about her, she is the element. She is pushed forward by the billionaire class across the country and Silicon Valley's part of it. Oh I see what you mean. Yep they don't care. I got invited to some events like as if...I got invited to a event with Nimrod as well here in Texas Yeah well Texas is a ranch At The Ranch

1:19:52 Come on over to the ranch. One of the billionaire oil guys, sure I should have gone just to sniff it all out. It'd be a little weird. I wouldn't feel comfortable. No. Should've sent Tina go sniff out Haley see what's going on with her there is no good. Just a couple just a little topical change of pace here? You know about Lloyd Austin? Yes, uh no one did. Well they still don't here's the Lloyd Austin is down clip

1:20:29 Here we go. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has been in Walter Reed Medical Center since Monday, but the Pentagon didn't disclose it until last night and there are reports that he spent four days in the intensive care unit. Austin spokesman Major General Pat Ryder said he was admitted for complications from an unspecified minor medical procedure today. Ryder said Austin resumed his full duties last night while still in the hospital but couldn't say when Austin would be released This doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is a big deal. Fully vaxxed fully boosted! This guy calls shots and not speaking of... But he calls the shots on... He doesn't have to talk to the president about all the things that he's doing in the two wars that we're involved in And even when he went in The deputary... Deputy chair? The deputy secretary? Wow! I'm gonna write that down. Yeah me too

1:21:26 It's the nature of our show, people. Yeah that is how we do it! The Deputy Secretary of Defense was on leave so he should never have...it's like you know if the president is gonna have anesthesia then temporarily the vice-president has the helm there's a whole process for that and the same for the defense secretary this was a gaffe something was very wrong with this He may be dead already Is what some people think, others think he's been incarcerated. I love that one. That's like a QAnon. He's been incarcerated. I love the incarceration. Well I heard that the minor operation was that he had his balls removed. Thanks Marty!

1:22:12 I have a couple more details on this. There are questions tonight on why top levels of the federal government were not immediately told US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was hospitalized following complications from an elective procedure, the 70 year old has been at Walter Reed Medical Center since January 1st. A source tells the Wall Street Journal Austin needed to be admitted to the intensive care unit among those who did not know until three days later, the president and the National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan well tonight Austin released a statement saying he could have done a better job informing people

1:22:53 and he takes full responsibility. President Biden says he has full confidence in the defense secretary. So this is interesting, so in this report they say Lloyd Austin said I didn't do that right? So is he in the intensive care or not listen again Well tonight Austin released a statement saying he could have done a better job informing people. Is he awake? Is he okay can he come to the balcony and wave If Austin released a statement or was it the Pentagon? Tonight, a US official confirms to NBC News that the Pentagon did not inform senior officials in the White House's National Security Council for three days. That Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had been hospitalized at Walter Reed Medical Center on New Year's Day. And Walter Reed I mean i'm telling you the incarcerated bit is good

1:23:45 The news not shared with the American public until Friday, when the Pentagon announced that Austin was hospitalized for complications following a recent elective medical procedure. And NBC News has learned the 70-year old Austin not just hospitalized but also in the intensive care unit for at least four days according to two senior administration officials Asked why his stay wasn't disclosed sooner, a Pentagon spokesperson tells NBC News. This has been an evolving situation in which we had to consider a number of factors. Adding Secretary Austin is recovering well and he resumed his full duties the Pentagon declining to explain this is different now they're saying he's back on the beat but why isn't he out on the balcony waving? Adding secretary Austin is recovering well and he resumed his full duties

1:24:33 The Pentagon declining to explain what Austin's procedure was and what complications occurred. The lack of information strongly criticized. When presidents have issues, the other cabinet members have issues the public is notified so there's no real justification It's unacceptable. And Ali is in Delaware tonight traveling with the president. A US official, Ali just moments ago tells me that President Biden was not informed about Austin's hospitalization for three days either and you're hearing from the secretary himself tonight in a statement what he saying?

1:25:23 That's right, Peter. The defense secretary taking full responsibility for what he says were his decisions about disclosure saying in part quote I recognize that could have done a better job ensuring the public was appropriately informed. I commit to doing better. This stinks. It does! Something is very... We need him waving. Who is running the war machine? Maybe the war machine is like, hey man. Well I think the war machine can do fine How about this? How about the military-industrial complex like went into hospital you know put little machete or knife to throat and said hey man You're not doing it right we need more orders We need to sell some gear hmm maybe that's why he didn't tell anyone because he didn't want that situation to occur That's what he was afraid of oh Oh, that's even better Hmm

1:26:24 Don't let them show any weakness. Don't tell Biden whatever you do. No, shh! That's the way I would go don't tell Biden whatever you do. He might poop his pants. Oh, I'm out now. I'm fine. Don't... oh geez we didn't tell Biden? That's a shame. It's all good it's all good okay since that clip brought up Israel hmmm I think we have yes this was an interesting development The Israeli defense minister went on a PR blitz and what you're not seeing in this is all beauty shots of him looking really... that guy he does look kind of badass. He's got the shades on with the helmet, you know? Yeah no, he's got prime minister

1:27:20 Exactly, that's what this clip is about because he outlines a new phase of the Gaza war to the press before he presents it to the cabinet. Yeah well yesterday evening Israel's Defense Minister Yair Garonza unveiled his plans for the post-war running of Gaza first to the press then he submitted it to Israel's War Cabinet now under his plans at the war would continue until all hostages have been released and until Hamas has been completely eradicated. The plan then sets out how after the end of the war, Palestinian organizations would take over at the running off the Gaza Strip it does not however specify which organizations those would be it does

1:28:09 however say that under no circumstances would that be Hamas. It also says that there will be no Israeli civilian presence in the Gaza Strip after the war it does however say that the Israeli military would continue to be able to carry out operations in the Gaza Strip if necessary, and to maintain security now I think also worth pointing out but at this stage this is not official Israeli government policy it is just a proposal that's been put forward by by

1:28:59 the northern Gaza Strip has been completely flattened by months of intense fighting and bombardment. I mean just imagine Lloyd Austin starts laying out policy to the press about what we're gonna do in a war, any war before the president! Netanyahu's on loose sand here something something is going on yeah i agree 100% almost completely including this which discussed one or two shows ago. After more than 12 weeks of war in Gaza, a fundamental question remains what is to become of the strip and its people? Now Israeli media reports allege the government of Benjamin Netanyahu has held secret talks with the Democratic Republic of Congo for a quote voluntary resettlement plan

1:29:48 The Times of Israel, which published the report says a senior Israeli official has denied that any such discussions have taken place. But Israeli cabinet members have repeatedly raised the idea I call on the Prime Minister and the new foreign minister This is an opportunity for planning an immigration project And to encourage the migration of residents from Gaza two countries of the world So they got all kinds guys out there saying stuff without the president His whole cabinet is doing press briefings. Yeah, yeah. It's like kind of like the Federal Reserve when they start every board member starts yacking away about the economy No it's a little worse this is his cabinet is just doing hey you know we got to do this We gotta get something going and uh... You know send him to the Congo I love this Congo idea by the way Yeah! Congo was great for batteries and all kinds of stuff And it's easy to spark some crap over there

1:30:50 Meanwhile, Somalia... you recall that Ethiopia a new BRICS country said well you know what we're gonna open up a base right under Djibouti. That's our turf Djibouti right there by the where the Houthis are causing trouble by the opening of the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and they said we're just going to open this base in Somaliland. Which is not an official country but they've organized and pretended it is and Somalia well...

1:31:27 They got a call from Victoria Newland. On Saturday, Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohammed signed a law nullifying the memorandum of understanding signed between the government of Ethiopia and Somaliland. The symbolic move comes as Ethiopia in the breakaway Somalia region signed a deal on January 1st As part of the highly economic and political agreement, Somaliland plans to lease a 20-kilometer stretch of land along its coastline to landlocked Ethiopia. Somaliland President Moussa Bihi Abdi said the deal included a statement that Ethiopia would soon recognize the territory as an independent country. That is where the bone of contention lies. Somaliland is a self declared republic

1:32:10 It has taken issue for years with the process and the legally binding character of the State of Union law which was to form a unified country after Somalia and Somaliland respectively gained independence from Italy and Britain. The AUCHA person urged Ethiopia and Somalia to engage without delay in negotiations to settle their differences." I'm sorry, it's Africa Today but you can't get any other reporting about this stuff? Our media... Even Africa Today could find a spokes model that could do better job than that woman. They have better ones! This is like the weekend team or something, hey you get in here it's I know it's horrible but... Let's just summarize it for us okay so Somaliland claims independence and they are the republic of somaly land they are on the eastern tip

1:33:03 just the tip of Somalia, and they've done a deal apparently with the BRICS. And they said well you know what we're just going to work with Ethiopia recent BRICS member and we're gonna just create a base because you know Ethiopia's landlocked. Ethiopia doesn't need a port, I'm not talking about ports it's a base! A military base so iIm going to presume China or somebody else would have a presence there this cannot this will not stand under Djibouti Which is right above it. Yes, too close. It's like right next door Can't have that No, you shoot down the drones as they take off with a pistol I have one more...I think this is the clip here I'm not sure There was a great Nat Pop Let me see Is this the Nat Pop clip? Um yes Blinkin' So Blinkin' is back in the region He's in the region

1:34:02 Because he's got to, you know... He says look my president is brain dead. I've got my defense minister in the hospital. He's being debauled and I gotta do something. I'm the boss! U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken says he wants to make sure that conflict in Gaza doesn't spread This morning he traveled to Jordan as part a week-long diplomatic tour aimed at calming tensions Blinken says he's particularly concerned about exchanges of fire on Israel's northern border with Lebanon. U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken's week-long whistle stop tour is aimed at calming tensions that have spiked I love they call it a whistle stop tour

1:34:45 That's kind of weird US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's week-long whistle stop tour is aimed at calming tensions that have spiked since Israel's war with Hamas began This is not just workaday diplomacy. There is genuine concern to the conflict course has already escalating We have an intense focus on preventing this conflict from spreading far too many Palestinians have been killed Especially children. This is interesting language, too many Palestinians have been killed we figured it would be a thousand that would be okay this is not weird far too many far too many well how many was okay

1:35:32 Was there a level that was agreed to? Like, well you can kill couple of them. We have an intense focus on preventing this conflict from spreading Far too many Palestinians have been killed especially children far too many remain incredibly challenged in terms of their access to food This far too many is bad language for water, the medicine and the essentials of life That's the wheels of diplomacy There it is The essentials of life, water food and then a big tank explosion right after it. Food to water to medicine to the essentials of life As the wheels of diplomacy turn in Gaza there's been no let up in the past three months Israeli strikes claim more lives food and medicine are increasingly scarce and entire neighborhoods reduced to rubble

1:36:25 The UN's humanitarian chief said Gaza has quote simply become uninhabitable. But Israel says that it is making progress Yes, progress but far too many we had agreed only 1500 dead particularly children and they just went above and beyond can't believe them no good somebody's trying to make the thing spread somewhere I believe it's the Russians to take the pressure off of the Ukraine situation. They gotta resolve that so they had, they launched 200 missiles from Hezbollah supposedly because these numbers are all dubious but they supposedly lost launch 200 missiles what's what's the point? They had to be told to do this they don't want to do it and Lebanon doesn't like the idea but they're doing it anyway no Lebanon doesn't want any Lebanon can't use much more problem

1:37:19 So, there's somebody trying to stoke issues. I think it is the Russians because they're trying to get us to... It makes sense! The Russians are sick of this stupid Ukraine war and they want to get that resolved You know who is sick of the Ukraine war? The Ukrainians Oh, is there any left? No men to fight. And it's cold now! It's very cold. It's no longer the fighting season so they're just doing drones and the drones have a flaw you know that these are pre-programmed drones a lot of them So they fly a set route and then guys just sit there and wait okay done Here comes another one Yep, done

1:38:01 Here's NPR with the talk of this expansion up north. Tens of thousands of people have been evacuated from both sides of the Israel-Lebanon border, there are air raid sirens blaring across northern Israel today Lebanon's Hezbollah militia says it fired dozens of rockets across the border this morning and it's calling this just an initial response to the airstrike that killed a Hamas leader this past week as you mentioned in Lebanon's capital, Beirut. Israel says it has sent tanks artillery and airstrikes across the border into Lebanon for the past few days. Israel's Defense Minister Yoav Galant inspected troops yesterday at the Northern Command and then he recorded this video clip

1:38:42 I want to say clearly, we prefer... In which he says Israel prefers a political settlement with Hezbollah rather than a military one but that we are quote close to the point where the hourglass will turn. Well, The sad thing is if you ask the Israelis or the Palestinians Or the Lebanese no one wants death and destruction This is turf wars of probably just all money related But we have another area breaking out with issues. Mostly caused by us What? No, say it ain't so! What is this about now? Serb elections... Now there's all kinds of weirdness going on in Serbia The Balkan nation of Serbia is a flashpoint in Europe struggle between democracy and autocratic leaders Russia's war in Ukraine heightens Serbia's importance as it resists Western pressure to join sanctions on Russia

1:39:46 Now, the nation is being torn apart by protests accusing the government of authoritarian President Alexander Vukic who's a strong Putin ally. Of widespread voter fraud in last month's elections. Ali Rogin has more. In central Belgrade chants of Vucic you are thief! More than two weeks after what protesters say was a stolen election Vučić declared a sweeping mandate for his Serbian progressive party following wins in parliamentary and local elections that he called ahead of schedule. But international observers say Vučić's ruling party dominates Serbian media coverage and intimidates independent journalists, giving him an unfair advantage on election day there were reports of violence ballot stuffing and allegations people getting bused into different cities to vote

1:40:38 Since the vote, protesters have amassed in Belgrade demanding the results be annulled. They've paused for Orthodox Serbian holidays but will likely resume in mid-January People are on the street dissatisfied with the election fact which is obvious everyone confirmed it there has been a serious disruption of the electoral process and that is why the elections have to be repeated Opposition coalition leader Marinka Tepic has been on a hunger strike since the election. She addressed the crowds on December 30th, just before she was hospitalized. I'm sorry that I can't say much. The only thing I can say is that I have already said everything and that these elections must be annulled. Why could what was it? What why did she hospitalize? What happened

1:41:29 He's on a hunger strike and she is about to drop dead from lack of eating. Well, so does he think this has to do with Serbia's location? I think Trump should have gone on a hunger strike. He would still be on it! Do you think that this has anything to do with Serbia being right under...right next to Hungary?! It's got something to do with it. They try to explain it, they never do a full job... The Serbian guy who won by the way is just a Casper Milktoast character and he's just trying to I don't know whether he won or not, how fraudulent the election was. But it's just they run this story on PBS to kind of give us some parallels to what Trump might try to do. He's like Trump because this guy likes Putin and you know because everyone has to hate Putin or is no good and we're part of what's going on here let's listen these clips are interesting as it gets on with when they start discussing with our people. Here's part two.

1:42:31 Sorry, let me rewind that. Vucic has defended the results he and Russia say the protests were being controlled by the West. We want to steer our own politics here we don't mind paying the price for all the rubbish and lies because we know what the cost is The election process will be concluded by the institutions of the Republic of Serbia For more on the implications of these election results, I'm joined by Edward P. Joseph He teaches at Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies and served for a dozen years in the Balkans including with the US Army he has observed and organized numerous elections in the region

1:43:13 Edward, thank you so much for being here. First of all can you tell us a little bit about what sort of leader Aleksandar Vucic has been both internally within Serbia and with regard to other countries? President Vucic is the classic autocratic leader he's attempting to establish thorough control of Serbia with the veneer of democracy and that's what we see in these recent elections. This is what is known as illiberal democracy, his neighbor and his mentor and patron within the EU of course is Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary. I told you it had something to do with that. So this guy, this guy that they're talking to is from Johns Hopkins and he organized... what is an American organizing elections in these areas? What does that explain to me? Okay, I will explain it to you! I will explain it from this article one election system vendor in Serbia guess which one

1:44:17 Dominion. Yes, yes! They even have a software development office in Belgrade There you go Just just a little point A little point So they and then Orban of course is still seen as the fly in the globalist ointment Mm-hmm Is the bad guy for some reason Well he's not on board with any of the bullcrap He's not and this guy is like I guess one of his protégés, and this is an issue with us. Us particularly let's go to clip three. And Orban set the model for this where there's a veneer of democracy where you hold elections but the elections are actually meaningless because the ruling party controls has such dominance over the media landscape. The opposition is weakened that media are

1:45:14 hugely dominated by the ruling party and Independent journalists activists are intimidated. And that's what we've seen in search That sounds like us yes Hmm, it was the latest there some but I think was a pew or one of these guys did or gallop did a research on the media at political affiliation as something like 95% of everyone who's in the media today is a Democrat. Yeah, and Well, that sounds like a recipe for disaster. Where's the 10%? Show me that it's not Fox News now. Well yes, sir. Elections Newsmax I'm sorry news max there is but that's where the Cuomo kids on one American news now That's it one American is one American who can't with that one over made up girl Sir, sir, elections rigged or

1:46:08 And there was nothing requiring these elections to be held at this time, so why did he call for these elections at this time? Well that's exactly right. These are again early elections and the best explanation for them is that President Vucic As a result, in large part mistaken US policy by the Biden administration was in crisis. In late September there was a shocking confrontation in the north of Kosovo this is where NATO troops including U.S. troops are deployed and there's this Kosovo police patrol happening on a Serb militia group heavily armed

1:46:46 that could not have entered into Kosovo without Serbian authorities known and of course, that immediately cast suspicion on President Vucic himself. And this attack which led to a shootout... So we can go in there but the next door neighbor can't go in there? You mean Hungary no? No Serbia Right. Is the next door neighbor to Kosovo? Oh, yes! So they can't go in we can go... We're there and UN's there but they can't go in okay I just wanted to make sure that everyone got it. There has been problems in the region in the past. Well so we should go in of course we created a problem

1:47:28 We're, I'm sorry. We're dicks! And of course that immediately cast suspicion on President Vucic himself and this attack which led to a shootout in the north killing a Kosovo police officer and three Serbs was a huge shock Because it showed, in fact that the US policy of trying to supplicate a placate President Vucic and somehow bring him over from an autocratic pro-Hungary pro Russia orientation had failed. It was that crisis very likely that President Vučić wanted to put behind him, re-establish his authority as the sole preeminent political figure in Serbia and move forward. But it turns out that is not going to be quite as simple as he thought. Right so its strategic for the region and we want to make into someone who dances to our pipes? Exactly of course!

1:48:27 Orban's enough of a pain in the ass. We don't need this joker! Where do these guys get the time to think about all this? I have no idea, Johns Hopkins is part of the problem. Where's Victoria Nuland let me see... Victoria... She's probably been there. Victoria... While you're looking at her play the last clip So let's talk a little bit more about U.S. policy towards Serbia and the different priorities that the United States is balancing? How have they approached Aleksandar Vucic, what do you make of their response to this crisis?" I would say this about US policy which has again brought us to this brink President Biden has gotten the Balkans right consistently president Biden himself understands the region and he set off his administration with the words that we are in a challenge of democracy versus autocracy

1:49:15 the violent confrontations in Kosovo this year. We've had potential issues in Montenegro, which is a NATO ally and now within the government there are pro-Russian elements within that NATO ally and we have a brewing crisis possibly even beginning this month in Bosnia Herzegovina

1:49:51 So this is the mistake of the Biden administration, has been to treat President Vucic to this different softer standard. On on the belief that somehow we can bring him over instead what it has done it's projected fear. The US basically projecting fear of Belgrade which president Vucic correctly interprets as weakness and takes advantage And this all goes, of course to the benefit of his ally which is Russia. Yeah... Well we had clips of problems brewing in Serbia I think didn't they wasn't there something like something with their money if i recall

1:50:41 What is this? I don't remember the money thing, but you know that yeah. This situation is...I find it interesting that he says that Biden's got it right but the administration has got it wrong which says to me again like everyone else says Biden's not running anything! No no this is well The coverage was good, but we don't understand it. No there's no... We have no... Well at least we're familiarizing ourselves Are there Serbs in the audience? Come on Serbs! Talk to us Serbs! The Serbs hate our show How about this even though we break up the show a little bit differently very short donation segment today Attention all human resources now entering second half of Seoul That's right Second half of show is back

1:51:35 Finally! Woohoo! That's right everybody, second half of show. What's going on out there in the universe? And now to our number one trending story on CBSMiami.com It is a talk of alien sightings at Bayside Marketplace On New Year's Day there was massive police response in downtown Miami More than 50 young people armed with sticks began fighting Police say juveniles were also setting off fireworks causing chaos So now people are posting online saying that police weren't there to handle a group of rowdy teens, but rather 8-10 feet tall shadowy aliens. Conspiracy theories are saying a big creature could be seen standing in front of the entrance to the shopping area Bayside today the phrase is Miami Mall

1:52:26 and aliens of Miami have been among the top 10 searches on Twitter's trending tab. Twitter, of course now called X and Google News even has several reports questioning the event so we reached out to the Miami Police Department they issued a statement saying in part quote there were no aliens UFOs or ETS no airports were closed no power outages face palm emoji was included in this statement yeah obviously you cover up cover up by the Miami, obvious cover-up by the Miami police because there's no way you would have this. I mean there were hundreds of police vehicles that at least four helicopters hovering overhead it was obvious this was not just some kids fighting at the mall these were eight to ten feet aliens with fire sticks and we have eyewitness reports all over TikTok hey by the way whatever happened to getting rid of TikTok where did that go?

1:53:25 Why did that stop? I thought TikTok was dangerous to democracy. Serious question. Trump would have gotten rid of it, but no there's just benefiting the Democrat Party Oh so the lobbyists worked it out then I guess Yeah, there's a cash some cash changed hands perhaps Well we need to be talking to people about this because it was everyone was all in. We had hearings TikTok is bad China is killing our children Scott Adams He's commenced Tick-Tock is going to ruin America but yet It's still here And this is where we find eyewitnesses to this event.

1:54:17 For the New Year's you say me and my girl. I got a little time share We was down there on our own like a mini vacay You know just to I love this guy by the way near my girl we had a timeshare down in Miami Little vacay start the new year is all right so anyway, yeah, we happen to be at that mall so long We had a footlocker or whatever. Next thing you know, you start hearing all this commotion outside sounding like firecrackers or something so I grab her close and I'm like yo we about to get up out of here because I originally thought that they were shooting. Some type of gunfight had broke out whatever the case is because we're not familiar with Miami, we're not familiar with the city

1:54:58 I even got my blick so you know, I got my blick. I guess that's a glock Blake thing about the we bout to about this It's like crazy like we just see all these people running like, you know fat, fat chicks.

Like a few shadows but they were solid at the same time and then it almost looked like they was coming our direction, like they was chasing us, but they was disappearing and reappearing closer So I'm like, yo what? So we start really moving. The next thing you know, we start hearing more gunshots like these dudes started firing at this shit and get outside mad police all that in them saying they start the police is trying to get all the people that ran out the mall. They're trying to detain these people or whatever but me and my girl, we ended up just sliding past all that and everything like

1:56:20 But you know, a lot of people saying why didn't nobody film and all that. When that type of shit is going on? You're saying shit like that? Like some paranormal... Nobody thinking about no phone! No! No there's a bunch of John C Devoraks with no phone at all so they didn't get any in no video Well, I see this is the problem. Yeah, I don't care what monster you're gonna see coming in and out of Dimensionality as he describes it someone's gonna be pulling out their phone Well we didn't get any pictures of any teenagers shooting either so this is very suspicious Well here's here's what's going on? This is just the beginning wait let me think wait let me stop yeah okay

1:57:08 It's a movie coming out that has something to do with something about this thing. That would be great! It's a movie, it's bullcrap If I could roll out of a movie trailer that would be the best right now No this is Project Blue Beam This is where we start and of course you're going to use TikTok as you said it benefits the elites The Democrat Party and that's why TikTok hasn't gone yet No, this is where we start to bring in the aliens. People have seen it clearly eye witness And eventually these aliens will start talking to us and then we can get rid of religion, and we can all go towards the aliens. We can follow the New World Order. You'll see more of these craft in the air that will be projected. Project Bluebeam is as I call it now activated! It's activated and it's biblical.

1:58:06 It's been predicted. This is it's all it's all coming now this is just just the start we'll keep an eye out then blue beam activated yes I will, I will stay on the beat Yes you and this is your all yours Thanks Unless there's a local phenomenon takes place which I will use a regular camera to film Yes you will! You'll go out right away Now, there was another interesting legal case. By the way I do have a tick if you don't want to go into it if you're not following up I have a TikTok clip. Talk! Talk! Wait, wait, wait... Hold on, hold on, just roll with the problem This is some lunatic this is a lunatic that's threatening everybody should guys should just be arrested immediately but unlike your clip yes I took care of the profanity issues

1:58:57 I'm glad you did. And i apologize, im sorry. I missed it. I didn't have time to do it. I do wish death on transphobic people because they wished death on me and have caused death To many many many of my brothers and sisters in the trans community! I want to stab all of you to death as many times as I can! I wanna stab you in the throat and twist like Im carving a f***ing pumpkin! I wanna shred you into tiny f***ing pieces I wanna tear your f***ing bones out from your d**k body. I wanna scoop your brains out with a f****ng spoon! I wanna eat your f***ing flesh!!

1:59:38 I'd say decaf. Decaf may be a good idea for this person. Minimally, but i just want to show you how it's done by a pro You didn't do that the clip came that way Yes I did! You did that? Yeah Well that was pretty good The clip was extremely well you could tell is very profane This is the problem with social media these days I mean, if you go on X. You just go on X for five minutes and see people kill each other, murderers... It's terrible! It really is. And then these doofus threatening everyone. Yeah it's like pfff. Not that I'm against free speech. That's actually threatening. There may be limits to what you can do there. Now I'm all for open news media but it's not a healthy thing

2:00:29 to be going on social media and looking at all this stuff. I agree! And TikTok, as you know i've loaded up the app once or twice and deleted it immediately because you stop for one second on how this is kind of let's see how this guy gets killed oh man that's horrible then you get five more and then you scroll in and scroll out cause your watching them you shouldn't be watching no exactly its very unhealthy I never use an app. I go on the web browser, it goes on the browser and then I type in TikTok dot com. And it brings up a... Then I'll search for something specifically and maybe I'll find it or I won't. Now do you look for crazy transgender people? Is that your search term? People send those to me! This was sent to me by one of our producers

2:01:22 So dig this guy. This is a, uh, this is something that I saw this morning. Uh, it was on MSNBC the Katie Fang show never seen her show before. It was a miracle because I was watching it live on YouTube TV while taking a shower or shaving getting ready to electrocute yourself and like, Oh I wish i had this clip of this guy and of the situation. And lo and behold MSNBC had the whole show up on YouTube so I was able to get these two clips

2:02:00 And we know what's going on here, but I just wanted to accentuate the point of what's happening in this particular case. In May of 2022 rapper Young Thug whose given name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams and 27 other defendants were charged in a sweeping 65 count indictment accusing the suspects of being part of a criminal street gang named YSL or young slime life The RICO indictment alleges Young Thug and other Wyosaw members committed crimes like murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Theft drug dealing carjacking and witness intimidation young thug is charged with eight out of the 65 total counts since his arrest young thug has been in the Cobb County Jail for nearly two years awaiting trial then in November prosecutors secured to win when the presiding judge agreed to allow them to use relevant rap lyrics

2:02:53 in the trial as evidence. But the use of these lyrics raises the question whether that's constitutional in the first place, after all Johnny Cash didn't get arrested for singing I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die. Okay, idiot! So what was not in this report at all and which you won't hear but I want to circle back to it is this about drill rap And this is something I learned from Mo, we talked about it extensively when that whole gang got arrested in New York. Drill rap is very popular This is where gangs are indeed killing each other and then make hip-hop songs about it The sick part of this Is the music industry uses this

2:03:42 this drill rap once, you know, once something starts hitting the algos in YouTube then it hits the algos in Spotify. Then they sign these drill rappers to a sub-label of a major label and they're making money off of it! We've talked about that I don't know if you remember? They are literally making money off of black men killing each other and glorifying it It started in the UK And it's big. Oh yeah, it's huge over in the UK It's big in America and what is disgusting about it Is that this is the music industry They are promoting this they're propagating this they do not care

2:04:27 And so, of course they bring in the hugest music industry douchebag lawyer to defend it. Joining me now is Scott Grebin criminal defense attorney in Georgia who previously represented Kenneth Chesbrough in the Fulton County election interference RICO case So let's focus a little bit on some of these lyrics They include quote got a lot of followers A perfect leader I'm a boss I call the shots Another one. For slimes, you know I'll kill! Another one and I never killed anybody but i got something to do with that body Now wait until you hear this guy's defense Scott, what happened to the First Amendment in this case? I think the problem here is that rappers are not given the same artistic license as other artists are in music and other industries. You just gave an example about Johnny Cash. I'd like to give an example about the actor Joe Pesci. Think for a minute, Joe Pesci is prosecuted for some sort of violent crime

2:05:29 Would the prosecutor try to admit evidence of some of his scenes in his movies like Goodfellas, like Casino where he's engaging in violent acts? Where he is threatening violent acts. Of course they wouldn't and if they did the judge wouldn't let it in why Because everybody knows that Joe Pesci is playing the part. He's playing whatever, whatever character he's playing on that movie. Well guess what? So is Jeffrey Williams! This man is not named Young Thug this man is named Jeffrey Williams and he's playing a character too so when he says those things I'm the big slime...I had something to do with that body how is that any different than Joe Pesci saying hey

2:06:12 You looking at me. I'm gonna kill you on goodfellas It's really not and for some reason and I think there might be arguments as to what some of those reasons are Racism rap artists are not in the artistic license and freedom that these other artists are They should arrest all these record executives, arrest the labels, arrest the Spotify executives. Arrest YouTube people responsible for promoting this. This is really atrocious! It's so just sick and this is how these guys defend it? Racist

2:06:52 fascinating clips, I think. Yeah thank you! Because the argument is logical...I think it's totally logical but the background indicates otherwise in other words if you don't know about what's going on at a base level, you know what's going on? The argument is specious Yes, but the fact that you throw the specious argument out there because it makes nothing but sense because its logical Makes this interesting. Thank you I think everybody out there would at least find some level of interest in that Crazy thing he just brought in yes, I would hope so well never discuss it again. I hope oh wow You never know There is one more tick-tock related Clip actually had this for the last show

2:07:48 That's right everybody, the vape wars! Now even discussed on DH Unplugged how big tobacco companies bought up vape companies Was it for like, what did they buy that vape company for? Like $20 billion and then some outrageous amount of money. And they wrote it off for 400 million like okay that was... We failed at that. And if you look at the statistics cigarette smoking is back up! It's on the rise but we still have these idiot kids vaping which in my from my research is healthier than smoking

2:08:36 There may be other issues, but I'm a vaper and uh and i like it. I enjoy it. I stopped smoking tobacco and other plants products which I feel are perfectly fine for people to smoke but it wasn't for me anymore But vaping? Oh no! We're taking money right out of the big tobaccos pockets which directly affects the master states agreement, which is the money that states receive as compensation for all the people who are dying from cancer. This was the, this is the agreement. This is what the big tobacco agreement was all about and so we have taxes and those taxes you know good states can take these taxes because now they have to pay for people who are dying of smoking cigarettes and we can't have that go away and it seemed like the kids were stopping to smoke And then we had to stop that especially menthol because black people smoking that's a way We can't have people vaping menthol

2:09:35 So let's get these kids off the vape. A new trend on TikTok. I just want to tell you one more reason you should stop vaping. Encouraging people to stop vaping, but this time it is not about their health. It is aimed at helping workers in the Democratic Republic of Congo's artisanal cobalt mines smaller scale operations where the work is often done by hand These mines have dangerous conditions and even child labor according to humanitarian groups like Amnesty International. I'm quitting vaping the reason it's still happening is because of how much we consume. Tik Tok creator Christina Narkai heard about what happens in these mines and says she was so outraged she had to do something. And he just kept saying don't buy new electronics, and I'm like already do that you know what else can i do? Then I found just a quit vaping.

2:10:25 Cobalt is a key element used to make lithium ion batteries, which much of our technology depends on. Things like smartphones electric vehicles and most e-cigarettes I would buy vape pretty much like once or twice a week two thirds of the world's cobalt supply comes from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Africa but most of that is then sent to China where it's refined before its sold to battery manufacturers Brand name companies buy those batteries. I'm telling you tick-tock is a valuable property hold on a second first of all Artisanal mines, I love that small batch baby small batch And so we got that in play and the other thing is one vape device

2:11:14 It probably, one Tesla probably accounts for all the vape devices ever manufactured in terms of battery use. But we got to sigh up the children into not vaping get back on the stick and back on the tobacco stick children. TikTok is a valuable property and it pains me to say it but we have to pay more attention to it Hey, you're talking to your preaching to the choir here. This is what I've been doing Yeah but yours is always kind of the same it's always some nut job with eyeshadows like yeah come on man We have to look at other things tik-tok is doing And with that I'd like to thank you for your currency in the morning to you The man who put the C and the cube head ladies gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end one only mr John

2:12:04 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all fish at sea boots on the ground subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls in the troll room who've been quite active today I see you, Brooklyn 1-1 Oh okay 2153 that seems better Yeah, we're 300 low. But better than less? Yes, they were 1900 or whatever we had last week. Oh no, 1775! No it was bad that was really bad...no it was bad bad bad The trolls hang out in the troll room at trollroom.io You can go there yourself, troll around do whatever you want hope you feel good about it and you should It's fun, it's ephemeral so comes and goes And no one is going to make any trouble for ya

2:12:56 You can also get a modern podcast app, Save Yourself Some Trouble. They update within 90 seconds of the No Agenda Show updating and there's probably about 400 thousand podcasts that update within 90 seconds on the modern podcast apps you get all kinds of transcripts which you can search, album art, chapter art, all kinds of fun stuff by going to podcastapps.com and move away from the big boys, move away from the legacy apps screw those guys get on with the independent developers those small dudes small batch artisanal the artisanal apps of Podcasting 2.0 there you go yeah what you could also do of course is especially for artwork

2:13:46 You could go to noagenartgenerator.com if you wanted to, and over there you could refresh and see stuff updating in real time because we're a value for value podcast which means no corporate weird creepy money, no advertising all we do is put everything out there all of this media deconstruction I think today were probably about 69 or 72 clips depending on how much we play after the break You know, those are...thought goes into this. Work goes into this. We put it all out there we weave it together in the womb of no agenda and we present it to you free-of-charge!

2:14:28 The value is right there. If you find anything valuable about what you've heard, consider sending that back to us in time talent or treasure will get to the treasure but when it comes to time and talent are artists are top notch and I believe Sir Paul Couture has done some extra work for us and has upgraded some servers and he actually posted something this morning Are You Happy Now? You happy now you complainers! So we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1622. We titled that Juiced Joe, which of course is right he was juiced up and Darren O'Neill brought us the artwork that we used. Yeah! He lamented it on the Noah's Genesis Socials. What do you mean? He lamented it what what do you mean yeah he says uh-huh they picked my crappy piece of art go figure something like he said in those kind of words well we'll strike it from the record

2:15:24 If that's how he didn't think much of it himself this sounds like so well, we liked it It was the media do you like where we why did we like it because there was nothing else? It was a fallback piece of crap and most of us I'm gonna be on Darren inside on this Moses cuz people are posting AR AI stuff Oh No They're all posting AI stuff. And then a bunch of people are doing Disney stuff because of them Release we already said no, we're not gonna do that. No to that Don't we're not gonna pick it because we don't want Disney going after us Disney's already making trouble about people You know demonetizing D platforming YouTube videos you know this someone created an AI Art generator, let's hope that's all about Steamboat Willie Oh I'd love to see that yeah so you know every everybody's a prompt a prompt engineer now and

2:16:24 Yeah, that's what it is. Prompt engineering the stuff that was real was correct a record It wasn't great it was you know as an old what was it like? I look like a 286 computer with the best podcast on the net understand Execute, you know a lot of people did Hawking's art which believe me It's not great. Then we had, I mean it just it's AI stuff! This is my problem. There's lots of stuff being created but this has no soul that's what it is. Soulless. It's baseless soulless art Yeah right... It hasn't got any oomph. Oh yes its oomph-less

2:17:11 It's oomphless and soulless, and it's mostly not funny. That's the worst part! And I think what happens is because it's slick... Well, very slick. A lot of it—not all of it though. Some of this crappy. But the real artists like oh they'll probably choose this, this is so slick, I could never do this. Well you could! You could! Well you know I've used these art generators and if you do one or AI art And you do them and you get a bunch of sometimes you get select selections, maybe a few to look at. Then you look at it and go wow! That's pretty impressive. Yeah. And that is exactly what you said I don't think i can do this piece so im going to submit it Exactly But its oomphless and soulless

2:18:01 Pretty much. It's kind of just junk spot, junk spot art. Yeah and it makes me sad because we've had you know probably 27 000 submissions up until the AI revolution and it just sucks I mean um yeah people get mad at me Curry B by the way We should probably...we forgot to do a Mia Culpa about the Panama Canal Oh yeah Do it because you said it well the Panama Canal is largely filled and released water from this big giant lake Which I forgot about which is where the canal kind of goes next to this Lake fills, and the lake is down Because of the drought in Panama. And so that's causing issues with the canal the way its engineered

2:18:57 So it's not just ocean water going through there. I don't see why you can't just bring more ocean water in, but what's interesting is, you know, I love...I'd say 60% of people said oh no, you're wrong. You know, I lived there or I looked it up and you know, it was like, Oh No! It's actually a series of tubes and its fresh water There's people who say, I can't believe John didn't even... That same guy. I don't even know why he listens to the show It only took five seconds to research this and they send it to me

2:19:39 Yeah, that's the by the way. That's the best part and so I reply and say i'm not John's intern And I copy you did that yeah, I saw that you always cc me So you make sure that? I'm aware of your ire Yes Because it I mean people we're just dudes I mean yes We are the creative or a consulting group yes, we're pretty good at media deconstruction doing it for a long while. We're fallible But then we make a mistake a month at least more than that. But the but the snark of it, I'm sorry to your own podcast and by the way speaking of value out to be harder than it looks. Curative or consulting group time? We got a note from Elsie and Tali trying read this in the morning. This is Elsie and Talia ages 16 and 12. Hey John

2:20:39 This is a girls probably one of our youngest producers. We love the show for them We love the show and it has entertained us on multiple road trips So we thought we would contribute in the form of jingles Our mom is going to send in some money to deduce our dad, but hasn't got to it yet Come on, Mom when he waiting for so that we'll be the first in our family to contribute. We enjoy messing around with audio and stuff, so we hope you like these jingles! Also would you give us some advice? We'd love to hear it! So I'll just play what they sent to, well play one and then we should give them a little critique. Here it is! You know what fracture starts with? F. You know what people starts with? P. Do you know what FP also stands for? What?! Free speech! Wooo! So... It's a good start

2:21:35 It's a start. They need to drop their music back. I couldn't hear the words, I couldn't hear your voices you know what hello? So that should be very low i mean you know there's no reason they have a booming bed on top of everything yes it's annoying but if it was in the background very low while you guys were singing In the foreground with a little less echo, I might add. Yes that was also a problem. Echo was a little bit too much yes so you can but you know you could probably run it through one of those filters and take the echo completely out if you wanted to but yeah they got the right idea You got the right idea kids we're at work we're glad yes i mean how rare is it though that

2:22:21 Young people at that age who are doing audio production. That's none zero never happens That's what that's why I thought it was worth playing. I like that so yeah good start good start So that's your time, and now it's time for the treasure in our value for value model So we're gonna start with our executive producers an associate executive producers short list today. I would say this I would say, to be a performative here. We have 1 million listeners and we have 30 thousand people that subscribe religiously to the newsletter and we had a total of 28 donations over 50 bucks this really is pathetic! We are very appreciative though why don't you take the first one since there's no note? And then i can do the one that's very long

2:23:13 Yeah, which is probably what I was going to suggest. I have no idea why there's no note but we have a $2,000 donation after i just complained... It sounds like it sounds like I'm a pig but the fact is that the uh The fact is yes, the fact is that you know there's like one guy other people are overcompensating for the freeloaders Yeah, there's like one guy so I mean he's a great guy But I don't you know Paul why in Corpus Christi Texas? Is the guy and he comes in with two thousand

2:23:49 Dollars with no note that we could find and I'm sure he'll come in with a note when he feels like it And will be glad to read it when he does that Yeah, but we'll give him a double up Carmen until that happens. You've got karma All right then we go to Brad Renwick Brentwood Tennessee 1222 Which is also quite nice. Fellas! Fellas, consider me to be... Consider me sir-to-be thirsty because yes this is uh we're in insta instant night level here Sir to be thirsty I discovered you during COVID working for a major trillion dollar global company well that's that narrows it down To two which is Apple and Amazon

2:24:41 What a weird time and there was a ton of pressure at my company that's based in California stateside. Apple. They forced our hands during that period, and to this day I feel disgusted with myself for taking the shot! I waited a year and finally caved to do it, to keep my job. One of my biggest life regrets because i never caved just not what I do! I went out on my way to find the one place in town that served the J&J and did that one." You're probably okay actually no issues but I don't know yeah no issues but I don't know well you know the j&j would have caused like immediate blood clot death or nothing you're good to go My wife is a pediatrician and for at least 18 months I fought her tooth and nail on what she's doing, and what is reality.

2:25:24 Oh, does this end in divorce this story first half of that was me catching up to what's really going on when you guys showed up in my life We took a lot of walks after that argument so much So because she was certain that she was being told the what she's being told prescribed and recommenders accurate I mean we fought hard. I'm a sales guy She's a doctor who wins that Sales guy should win yeah anyways While she hates a lot of your machinations with the noises and you're obnoxious, she finds me obnoxious too. Over time though she's completely flipped." She's flipped! You guys were an integral part of that as she is representative for what Adam has mentioned many times before they all go by recommendations there's no debate on this nobody actually questions anything it is pretty crazy once you dig into all

2:26:18 Like this. I agree with Adam. Excuse me. Danke. I agree with Adam, you can't force the apology and rub it in their faces at least not in this case yeah that's right you must forgive doesn't mean you have to reconcile but just forgive because you're the one that is... You're eating yourself up over that let it go But she's not even recommending the shot for kids now, whereas this is still a thing everywhere else in my town of Nashville. It's wild! They won't give the shot. Lucky they never did I made sure she never provided that. Okay now i have to scroll a little bit because...

2:26:56 Yeah, no it's too long. Yes it is but that's a good note we went to dinner tonight and as we rolled down the highway I said can we put on No Agenda? She said sure! That's big thanks guys. All right in the end kind of a quick note there well thank you brother and uh...and you will indeed be knighted today and I'm glad that you when your wife are on good terms we love that even though she thinks were-she probably still thinks were obnoxious We are hey, what can I tell you? You have to be obnoxious at some level to get an audience to stick with you because it Obnoxiousness is part of personality. Oh yes Yes, don't you think it's charasma not necessarily good personality But yeah, it is what do you hate listeners it is Diane Bees not one of them she comes in from Ashington Great Britain

2:46:19 Good news everybody John does a lot of work just for the regular portions of the show I mean for those you who are listening those who support what what a show. You got second half of show and Another good new story to make you feel this is about your little Charlie Who was almost died in the car, but he was rescued Oh Thank God At 15 months old, little Charlie here loves to eat his veggies drop some for his furry friends and help mom clean them up too. Everything makes him laugh he's so cute but last month this bundle of joy in his mom faced a terrifying situation when he suddenly broke out with a high fever in the middle of the night. We jumped on E-470 and I heard something at the back

2:47:11 Pulling over as fast as she could, she saw her baby having a seizure. Something that's never happened before If he hadn't been convulsing, he would have looked dead like there was it was like lifeless And so I grabbed the phone and I called 911. In a minute and 20 seconds, she says a dispatcher was able to ping her location and get the nearest deputy directed as soon as possible moments later she says a team of fire and EMTs met them calmly helping get Charlie to the hospital for help they were so sweet So my gratitude came from like i've never needed it but when I did

2:47:50 Gosh, they were so amazing. So quick! I was just in awe." Gratitude they got to share in person with the firefighters EMTs deputy and dispatcher Misty credits for helping not only her son but her too Briott We talk to people on the worst days of their lives. So when it ends up with a happy ending, it's very exciting for them to come up and let us know and let us meet them and get to put faces to names." But its their faces...their compassion....and quick response this family will never forget. I'm praying for you guys every day like you are stuck with us in baby Charlie for the rest of our lives! Nicole Fierro Fox City One. To be honest, I mean it is good news story

2:48:33 I prefer not to be medical issues where people almost died. And, like the...I just like a cat did something cute you know? The only good news stories you've come up with so far is that something horrible happened and we can't-can we just have like, you know, like uh... I mean they can't save a dog in the last one! Yeah no but it's always saving a life. Good news stories could just be um There was a nice event or everyone had fun. You went soft to good news stories? I don't want the almost died, but luckily saved my life. That's boring. We need something that's... Oh, ploof! Okay, everyone out there who helps me find these stories now knows that Adam is picky. Yes, I am. He doesn't want good news stories which that was. I want the best ones.

2:49:25 Lame news stories. At least one a month I need one. That's not a problem, I get plenty of those. Alright! A good news story from JCD Happy vibes for you and me And we all feel better now he's done his bit So back to reality that's turning to shit Actually, I have a very good news story Good news? Good News who people who were on the juice And when I say juice, I mean the GLP Juice. That's right! Good news everybody if you're using the weight loss drugs good news! In our healthcast today the use of semi-glutide drugs things like ozempic and wagovi don't appear to be associated with any kind of a higher risk of thinking about suicide compared to any other medications for weight loss

2:50:18 Researchers looked at 100 million patient records backed by the National Institutes of Health. And according to their findings, six months after starting the meds people taking the drug to lose weight had a 73% lower risk of first time suicidal thoughts and 56% lower risk of recurrent suicidal thoughts for people with type two diabetes. The reductions were 64 and 49%, respectively. The lower risks were also observed three years out from taking the medications And these findings come just days after the FDA said it was going to review reports of suicidal thoughts among people using semaglutides and similar medications. It's good news! You don't want to kill yourself, this is good 70% less... I didn't even know that was an issue? The problem with that stuff is your stomach froze up and you dropped dead Well if you don't die at least won't be killing yourself. It's good everybody's happy

2:51:12 I think it's, and you know what? There is even better news. In America we have... New Zealand is the only other country that allows direct consumer advertising of pharmaceutical drugs. That is correct! New Zealand doesn't really count but now they're taking one step forward this is the ultimate this is the future This is how they really want to do it. Interesting news today, drug maker Eli Lilly launched a new online service sending medications directly to consumers the new service called Lilly Direct will ship the company's new anti-obesity drug to patients who have a prescription and they will also offer some of the company's insulin drugs for people with diabetes and a migraine medication Just send it! Just do direct

2:52:08 We don't need a pharmaceutical industry. We just do a little telehealth, because you know how that is like, you fill out a form on the website. Yeah, boom! Drugs in the mail. You don't need a doctor anymore or you have to have a prescription. They'll just ask you a few questions and fill out the form. Boom! You've got a prescription. This is great I think they finally got it. You'd think that maybe it would be smart to go check with a doctor, you know make sure that your doctor feels appropriate for you have this... Well do you think with these guys having the advantage of being able to advertise in the one country in the world that's allowed they would bring everybody and share their wealth a little bit but no! Now they decided take all the money themselves They're asking for cruising for a bruising here It is not going to work out And by the way its not even an American company

2:53:01 Is it no von Norden? You're right. This should be illegal, they're screwing our business! They're screwing our drug business! Well this should be... Yeah for Boten. Should be cut-cut, exactly for Burr Botan And then uh this is the worst tease of the week I mean i've heard bad teases But this one is, I mean if we did this people would be mad at us. Megyn Kelly. It's all fascinating and we're not done with Jeffrey Epstein. I can tell you that for a fact. Can't tell you how i know but I can tell you for a fact we're going to hear a lot more about Jeffrey Epstein in the coming year and you may even hearing from him

2:53:46 Directly more on that as I'm allowed to tell you. Oh, cuz I'm allowed to tell is I'm a loud What is that? Loud? Is that bull crap who's pulling her strings that she has to be allowed and I don't like it I don't like it It's not cool to do that. It's and as long as I'm allowed That's the worst tease ever That's like clickbait. Can you tell us? Tell us! Just tell us, what do you mean you're loud?! Who is telling her what to say and what to do? Get back on our show and call her out on this! I have a feeling that i'm not going to be called anytime soon...

I did not know that Many say they're heading for sanctuary cities It's gonna be extremely painful for New Yorkers The mayor now wants to cut half a billion dollars from education in order to deal with the influx of illegal immigrants. In recent weeks, border police have been reporting almost 10,000 people crossing the border every day. Officials here told us they did not have the manpower or resources. That's why we continue saying that we need help. Meanwhile Texas is now reportedly adding anti-climbing technology to its fences and grounds. Straining immigration services.
