Nukes in Space!

00:00 Here's a picture of my food. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. This is no agenda. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've noticed a lot of people with kind of smudges on their forehead. What's going on? I'm John C. Dvorak. Well, you as the lapsed Catholic of all people would know exactly what's going on. I know exactly what's going on. Yeah. It's a very weird form of virtue signaling. It's Lent, baby. It's Lent.

00:50 So yesterday was Ash Wednesday. Yes. And the most religious of the Catholics get some smudge put on their forehead as a part of a ceremony. Isn't it a cross? Isn't it the Ash Cross? It's kind of, but if you take a look at what Laura Frau Ingraham had on hers, it was just a big thumbprint. Yeah, that's what they're into man. That's cool. Well, yeah, if it wasn't for the fact that they seem to be worshipping an anti-Pope. But okay, I'll let that slide. Well, it goes along perfectly with Taylor Swift's friend Ice Spice. Did you see that? Well, tell me about this. I have no idea. I don't keep up with this sort of gossip. Oh, man. Pray for Taylor Swift, everybody. She is surrounded by the devil.

01:41 Oh, I can't believe you missed it. They, uh, you can't, you can't believe I missed the Taylor Swift update. Didn't you? Were you not watching the game? They cut away to Taylor Swift and she's got this, um, she's got this friend who I've never heard of this woman. Ice spice, I guess one of the upside down, uh, evil spice girls. There's not a spice girl, but ice spice. And she sees herself on the big screen, then all of a sudden starts doing devil horns with her hands, but she has her thumb and her two middle fingers together, so it looks exactly like a devil's head. And she's going, ehhhhhh. I mean, CBS should be ashamed of themselves. I mean, they should have taken that out. They should have cut it out. That was bad.

02:34 It was real bad. I missed it. I actually didn't watch much of the game. Oh, oh, I watched all of it up until... The end. The end. The only good part. Yeah, it was kind of the good part at the end. Oh man, well, we weren't right. I certainly wasn't right about what happened. It was a good game though. Why didn't you watch it? Well, thinking back on it, we have to reevaluate the decision, especially yours that you make, because you're pretty good at this and you missed it completely. I did. Well, I mean, it's one or the other. It's binary. So you're going to miss it or you're not going to miss it. I think that what we overlooked was the fact that this was

03:14 This Taylor Swift gimmick for the NFL had to be rewarded at the end for doing a good job, pat on the back. Yeah. And so they had to win to get another. The op is over. She's going to go off and do whatever she does. And everybody's happy except the 49ers. I'm not so sure the op is over. And first, before we even get to that, I want to say that They were so smug and happy that I got it wrong that they had to shove it in my face! With the touchdown pass, Mahomes ends up with 333 yards. Why is that significant? This stadium's address is 3333 Al Davis Way. He's never lost in this building. And they win it by three on this touchdown throw. By three! Yeah, baby! I knew it would happen!

04:08 Yeah, 3-3-3-3-3. There were so many threes involved there at the very end. They got me. They got me. And winning by three the whole thing. But you tweeted something out. You slashed an X. About Travis Kelsey's movie. Is it called a slash now? Is that what they're calling it? I made that up myself. You slash an X. No, because I heard it earlier. Oh, you made it up, but that's why I heard it. I heard it in the pre-show. Okay, you made it up. Yeah, you slash an X. Okay, I like it. They should take that from you. It's a good idea. It's a slash. They should take it from you the way they didn't take all our other jingles, but go on. Okay, good. So what did I slash? You slashed about Travis Kelsey's movie

04:52 That he's producing, which is a climate change movie. Like this guy, like this guy's gonna produce anything. Okay. All right. He's the big producer of the new climate change movie. But this is the op! Taylor Swift's private jet travel is making headlines. She's been accused of generating 138 tons of CO2 in three months, equivalent to 12,622 gallons of jet fuel. Sustainability marketing firm Yard found that Swift, in 2022 alone, released 7,000 tonnes of CO2 using her private jet. The emissions matched those of more than a thousand homes in the same year. A Swift spokesperson rejected the numbers as blatantly inaccurate and says the singer hopes to shake it off through carbon offsetting. Carbon offsets, carbon credits. Carbon credits.

05:47 Ah, the use of the term shake it off. Well, yeah, I know that made you step on the carbon credits bit. Well, it's beside the point. You know, these kinds of joke reporting is getting on my nerves. Well, I think unfortunately for Taylor and Travis it's all downhill from here. You watch this is what the media does I'm already seeing the photos. Yeah, you've been. She looks unhappy and then they're questioning the hug. Was the hug a real love hug? Oh, you didn't hear the questioning the hug? No, I, yeah, okay. Let's go to a quick premise here. Okay.

06:27 I have not followed any of these things that you're reporting on and it by the way if you were not following them and I was reporting on them you'd be giving me grief at this point to an extreme and I'm not gonna give you any grief and this what I'm doing right now is not grief. Okay well then I'm I want to know. You really want to know. Well I might as well since you know and you're gonna I don't want you to have the upper hand. Um yeah I thought it was I don't know if you saw the very end but a really really moving scene uh when Kelsey and really move I was moved to tears. No you're wrong you misinterpreted you said really really really moving so moving. Ever Swift met up on the field afterwards really beautiful I thought. I could have done without uh without his rendition of Viva Las Vegas.

07:12 Yeah, and that was very yes for a day. Clearly, for those who are cynical, for those who would say they think that this is just another product of Taylor Swift's plan for world domination that she sees this as a, she has a very colorful dating history and he's obviously a superhero. There are those who are cynical. Look at the love on display here. And I will say this too, Pablo Torre, the love on display feels very real. And I will say whether you are a cynic or whether you believe in the romantic side of this, the prospect of the Kansas City Chiefs now teed up for the three-peat. Anybody who's a hater of Taylor Swift is gonna be dealing with this for another year, baby. It's gonna be Kelsey, Swift, Mahomes for a year until next time next year. I just wanna thank at the very end, John has inspired me.

08:03 Thank President Biden for the psyop. Just an amazing rigged script. Yeah. Coordination with Pfizer. He rigged it perfectly. This was an all time. Perfectly. Just a masterful, a masterful psyop by President Biden. Really impressive. Well, okay. What hurt me, what really hurt me deeply because I knew him Is... Is who? Khabish? No, I'm going to get to my payoff in a moment. Is Pfizer's blatant abuse of Freddie Mercury and Queen's song for their ad about science. Yeah. That's horrible.

08:47 I don't know anything about this either. Oh, they had a commercial. It was, I'm gonna be a superstar shooting for the Duh! That song. And it's just horrible. You know, Freddie's dead and then everyone else gets the rights to publishing. Don't you think that's appropriate? Appropriate for what? That he's dead? Pfizer's shot, Freddie's dead. Yeah, yeah, good point. Add it up, two and two. Put two and two together. They're trying to send a message. It's a message, people. And so they're going after cancer next. Yeah. Yeah. What is the TAM, Pfizer? What's your total addressable market you may have created? Good job. Good job. But that was nothing.

09:32 Everything was overshadowed and stopped dead in its tracks. We don't have to talk about the president being senile. We don't have to talk about Tucker Carl's interview with Vladimir Putin. No, because we've got spares! Breaking news, Russian nukes in space. Russian nukes in space, everybody! Nukes in space! Multiple sources are telling CNN tonight that the U.S. has new intelligence on Russia's efforts to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in space. In space! So this actually comes after the House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner today raised the alarm. He announced he's made information concerning a, quote, serious national security threat available to all members of Congress to review.

10:16 Now keep in mind if nukes were launched to the US from space, they would be undetectable. And this news gives ominous context to the fact that one of Putin's mouthpieces floated this very idea on Russian state television nine months ago, as found by Russian media analyst Julia Davis. I think it's time to turn up the heat. We understand that all drones and everything else work for Americans only while Starlink exists. So if we carefully launch our nukes in space, there will be no Starlink left. So this is... Hold on, hold on. Yes.

10:52 Get ready for this. Nukes in space! Thank you. Yeah, we got that one. Yes. So this is obviously intended to get everyone talking about nukes in space and forget everything else you've ever heard about the president, about what's going on. Please, nobody look at Jon Stewart's two-side-ism. Oh my God, he's getting so burned. John Stewart comes back to the Daily Show. Yeah, I watched the entire episode. I watched it as well. I didn't think it was that different than anything he did in the past. No, exactly! I'll get a quick review. Except for the stupid beard, which makes him look like a drunk.

11:38 It was I think he brought back the old team of writers. Yes, it was it was classic It was a structure just like nine years ago. It's kind of old-fashioned in that regard it was much better than what he was trying to do on Apple and and he obviously better than his movie career and It was done well, and it had everything going on it ran overtime for some reason I can't figure that part out but But what happened with the interview with Bedos, that woman, and but it was a classic. I would say if he dropped the last nine years and put him right back on the air and shaved him, maybe dyed his hair, you wouldn't know that anything changed. All right. So what changed, of course, is the audience. And there's a subtle psychological message in The Daily Show. I don't know if you saw it.

12:35 The Daily Show is now using an acronym in their logo. Did you see the acronym? I did not. For The Daily Show. It's the logo. TDS. Yeah? Trump Derangement Syndrome. It's obvious. That's funny. Yeah. Good catch. And the X is full of, I don't like John Stewart's two sadism. That's not cool, man. What? Now where are you getting this from? That's what everyone's talking about. The reviews and the trades seem to all be fine. No, no, no. I'm not talking about the trades. I'm talking about the TDS.

13:16 He did not slam Trump hard enough. He slammed him pretty good. No, because it was two-side-ism. He also slammed Biden. That's a no-no. The audience has changed. Jon Stewart doesn't realize this. People hate him now. By the way, we both know that he's secretly conservative. We've talked about this for years. Yeah, yeah, he's a secret old-fashioned conservative. Yeah, yeah, he's not a Trump guy. That's for sure. But no, but he's a conservative and he was slamming on Biden. You can't slam on Biden when the message is the president is sharp. I love this president is sharp stuff. It was a good little supercut.

14:04 But forget about that, back to nukes in space! We have one person telling us it is very concerning, very sensitive. This is a big deal. It's not a big deal. This has been known for years. Even Speaker of the House Johnson comes out and says this is not a big deal. What are y'all talking about? Mike Johnson.

14:40 Get it together brother, this is about covering everything up. We've got to have a new, new, new thing to talk about. That was ABC. Yeah, no, that's what it is. There's nothing, nothing. There's another element that you're kind of overlooking completely. You mean the space race? No, the fact that where did this come, where did this even begin? It began out of the guys, the head of the intelligence committee. He's the one who made the announcement saying, oh, and it should all be, It's all part of getting more money to Ukraine. I'm completely... You jumped ahead of my analysis, but that's okay. I'll skip all the clips. Well, you know, if you'd speed it up, it would help. Let's go to France 24. This all started early on Wednesday when the House Intelligence Committee chairman tweeted warning of

15:22 quote serious national security threats. Now that intel it was then found out had been made available to congress people in congress to look over in a highly compartmentalized and secure facility. It is highly compartmented information and more details emerge later. Ultimately it centers around a space-based nuclear weapon designed by Russia which is meant to target satellites in space. Now those are satellites that could be used for civilian communication but also military communication and military surveillance as well. Now so far the United States has no countermeasure for this kind of weapon and it was intimately so sensitive and so important that it was shared with international allies as well. Now it must be said this

16:05 has been stressed by numerous people and numerous sources that it is not an immediate threat, this is not something that's been launched, but it is something that Russia is looking into. And I've had it confirmed to me by numerous sources as well that this reporting is accurate. and also that these sources have known about this for quite some time. Congressman Milton, who's also on the Intelligence Committee, said to CNN that he'd known about this intelligence for two years. Now he was saying that Congressman Turner, the person who leaked this information, did so because he was offended that the Biden administration hadn't told him personally about it sooner. So some politics also coming in to international security here in Washington.

16:46 I am in total agreement with you. This is all about funding. They need money because hey, I mean we need money. We just meet and I will prove that after we get to be what? Well before you go on let me say something about that clip that guy who is this guy on trans 24 he's he for one thing he gives himself away as a rube by saying the word instead of saying come come I can't even now I can't even say it myself he says Compartmented. Yeah, he meant compartmentalized. Yeah, but he said, I believe he said it twice because I don't think he knows the proper word. He's a frog. Come on. Come on. It's just, he has English as a second language. Give the guy a break. No, I think there's a subtext here. The subtext is let's psyop everybody again. Why did we start our initial, our race to the moon? Because the Russians had Sputnik.

17:45 Am I correct? I mean, I was barely alive. But the Russians had Sputnik, they were putting monkeys in space. And now all of a sudden they've got, oh no, they're going to put nukes in space. Whoa, whoa, whoa, what are we going to do? It could be history in the making. A private mission to the moon has blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral in Florida. 3, 2, 1, ignition and liftoff. American aerospace company Intuitive Machines launched in... I got to stop this for a second. That was an un-American countdown. That was the most effeminate countdown I've ever heard. This is not what we want from our space stuff. We want 3, 2, 1, lift off! Instead of 3, 2, 1, lift off everybody! Play it again. 3, 2, 1, ignition, and lift off. Lift off! Lift off!

18:42 Extremely. Woo! This is un-American, people. American aerospace company Intuitive Machines launched its Odysseus lander on a rocket made by Elon Musk's SpaceX company. It's trying to become the first commercial spacecraft to successfully land on the lunar surface. The launch was originally planned for Wednesday, but it was postponed due to a technical glitch. It's time everything went according to plan and if the landing also goes well Odysseus will search for water on the moon in what some are calling a second space race. Ah a second space race there it is second space race. So how cynical can you get on Super Bowl Sunday when everybody is looking at Taylor Swift and her devilish friends?

19:30 Senate gets together on a Sunday. They're not gonna, whoa, we're not gonna, they take vacation, they take off for anything. They take snow days. Oh, it's snowing. We can't go. They decided it was, we're not going to watch the Super Bowl. We're not going to honor Taylor and Travis. Instead, we're going to sit there and we're gonna pass a bill of $95 billion for everything, including Taiwan. But nothing for the border or we're just gonna put this together because we need the money. So this package used to be connected to border security which failed. What are the conversations in the White House about exactly what these House Republicans want? Because if you look at any of these packages on the face of it, it usually is something that they would want.

20:20 Yeah, I wish I could answer that question, but we can't. They said they wouldn't approve a penny for Ukraine unless the border was tied into it. So we said okay and we participated and helped with the negotiations that were largely done on the Senate side to get that done. And now they say, well, no, can't do it. because, you know, for whatever reason, for whatever leadership reasons they have for that. So it's difficult to know exactly where they are. I mean, the speaker's been twisting himself into pretzel knots here in terms of what he's willing to justify on any given day. We need this funding. Is this Kirby? We need the funding for the border. You stepped on it again, listen, yes. He's willing to justify on any given day. We need this funding. We need the funding for the border too, but we need this funding for our national security with Ukraine, Israel, with humanitarian assistance, and certainly as you rightly said in the Indo-Pacific. I mean these aren't just a wish list. This is actual urgent funding that's required for our own national security.

21:18 We need this funding. What is he got? Does somebody have a gun to his head? What is he blabbering on like a maniac like this? That's probably not far from the truth. Yes, yes, the military-industrial complex just wants more. They don't care. They don't see the writing on the wall. They don't get in there. Yeah, that's it. They figure that's it Let's get as much as we can while we can and what's that? What's the I'm one of this I'm one of these guys Which is a lot of them are women by the way, including the head of Lockheed Is goes like what are you guys waiting for? You know what's going on? You know what's gonna happen get the job done? Yeah

22:02 Have some proof that this is all about Trump remember. We have this huge NATO exercise My NATO clips everybody's all I got to that I want to hear yours It didn't take Jack for him to get everyone all worked up about it was brilliant Western leaders have criticized Donald Trump for saying he would not protect NATO allies who are not spending enough on defense and from Russian attacks. The Republican frontrunner Trump said he had previously told NATO states he would encourage Russia to do whatever they want if they didn't fulfill their commitments to the bloc. Trump has regularly lashed out at members of the alliance for failing to spend at least 2% of their economic output on defense.

22:46 NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg says any suggestion that allies would not defend each other undermines Western security. Now this is interesting. This is it that was a report from I think it was Deutsche Welle. But then listen to this report and what Stoltenberg actually said. Video released by Ukraine. Oh yeah, by the way, drones are back, water drones. The water drones. Shows a naval drone homing in on the Russian ship off the coast of Crimea. Flashes and plumes of smoke can then be seen. Final shots appear to show the Czar Kunikov beginning to sink.

23:27 This was the ship sailing through the Istanbul Strait in 2020. It can carry up to 90 crew and is designed for beach landings. No official comment from Moscow so far, but normally reliable social media channels and intercepted radio... What? I love their reporting. Normally reliable social media channels. This is top notch people. But normally reliable social media channels and intercepted radio traffic seem to confirm the attack. It would be another serious blow to Russia's Black Sea fleet. Ukraine has successfully targeted its ships and harbours, defeating Russian attempts to impose a blockade on its grain exports. The news was hailed as a victory by NATO.

24:14 The Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea Fleet. By the way, I love the fact that NATO comes out and says, hey this is great, we're not in this war or anything, they're not a NATO member, but it's great, it's great, look how they're doing! I find it deplorable that they would do that. Now listen to what he... They're not a NATO member, what are they cheering them on for? NATO's supposed to have a specific job to do, not get involved in everything every which way like they did in Syria. Well... Stoltenberg, still head of NATO, has a message. The news was hailed as a victory by NATO. The Ukrainians have been able to inflict heavy losses on the Russian Black Sea fleet. They have actually been able to push the Black Sea fleet away from the western part of the Black Sea. And this is a great achievement, a great victory for the Ukrainians.

25:08 Alliance defence ministers were meeting for the first time since Donald Trump again criticised some for not paying enough and cast doubt on the US's commitment to their defence. But new figures on Wednesday show 18 out of 31 members are now paying the minimum 2% of GDP, including Germany for the first time since the Cold War. Only five were in 2016, just before Trump entered the White House. The criticism that we hear is not primarily about NATO. It's about NATO allies not spending enough on NATO. And that's a valid point. What was the punchline? I couldn't hear him. That's a valid point. Oh, yeah. Funny.

25:56 Yeah, I mean Trump is actually doing the bidding of the military-industrial complex. Yeah, it makes everyone spend more money. That's what the whole thing is. I don't know why anyone can't put two and two together and say this is good for us. Oh man, I gotta tell you, it's like people don't see it. We're not fighting The left or the right or the red or the blue or whatever. Our problems are not going to be solved in Congress in the Oval Office. We're fighting the powers of darkness like ice spice. You're not gonna get off that for a while. I cannot get off of Ice Spice. That was deplorable. I want to see a screenshot of this devil's horse that she did. There's video. It's deplorable. Deplorable. I don't want to watch it. Alright, do your NATO clips and then I want to get into drones. Well, I got a 3x3. Oh my god, I wasn't even prepared for that. And now it's time for 3x3. Experiment by JCD. What do we have? Comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC.

26:55 The never-ending supply chain! I got a 4 by 4 actually because I got a Canadian in here again. But let's start with ABC and Mary Bruce. Tonight President Biden imploring House Republicans to pass additional funding for the war in Ukraine, saying the US has to send Russia and the world a strong message. Supporting this bill

27:44 is standing up to Putin. Opposing it is playing into Putin's hands. He says the stakes got even higher when Donald Trump said he would actually encourage Russia to attack our NATO allies that fail to meet defense spending targets. Just the suggestion that Trump would support Russia attacking one of our allies, infuriating Biden. I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. Biden today, firing back. No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator. Bow down? Let me say this as clearly as I can. I never will. For God's sake, it's dumb, it's shameful, it's dangerous, it's un-American.

28:24 The president saying House Republicans now face a stark choice. House Republicans, you got to decide. Are you going to stand up for freedom? Or are you going to side with terror and tyranny? You're going to stand with Ukraine? You're going to stand with Putin? We stand with America? or Trump. The $95 billion spending package, which also includes funding for Israel, has already passed the Senate with significant Republican support. But House Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to even bring it up for a vote. He says no more foreign aid without tougher border security measures. This, though just last week under pressure from Trump, Republicans rejected a bipartisan compromise, including the toughest border measures in decades.

29:14 It's quite amazing how ABC and I have a feeling the other networks did the same, how they just chop in a small little tidbit of what Trump actually said, which was admitted to be true by Jens Stoltenberg of NATO, the guy that it's all about. Baffling. It is baffling. Well, let's go to the worst of them then, which is NBC and Comcast owned NBC, which is the most probably progressive group of them all. For the first time.

29:54 I should mention, you know, they've gone deep into DEI and so my internet was down all last night. Oh no. Comcast down. Luckily I have backup. For the first time in close to 150 years, a sitting cabinet secretary has been impeached by the House of Representatives. It was a close vote, 214 to 213, and it comes just one week after House Republicans failed to impeach Alejandro Mayorkas. All as there's a new showdown tonight over Ukraine after the Senate muscled through a massive bipartisan 95 billion dollar spending package in the early morning hours including 60 billion for Ukraine

30:35 President Biden demanding the House pass it immediately. Failure to support Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten. Biden slamming these comments from Trump, where he recounted a conversation with a NATO member encouraging Russia to attack countries who'd not met their financial pledges to the alliance. They said, you didn't pay, you're delinquent. He said, yes, let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. Can you imagine a former president of United States saying that? The whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means it. And delivering this blistering rebuke. No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator. Let me say this as clearly as I can. I never will.

31:26 For God's sake, it's dumb, it's shameful, it's dangerous, it's un-American. Meanwhile, that package in the Senate also contained more than $14 billion for Israel. But it does not include any funding for domestic border security, after Republicans with Trump's backing killed a bipartisan border security bill saying it was not tough enough. With Trump's backing. Tonight, House Speaker Mike Johnson saying that's the price for any new money for Ukraine. National security begins with border security. We've said that all along. Same clip at the end. Okay, so with Trump's backing, that was great. I love that. There's no actual evidence of this. What was he? No. Was he voting? Was he putting up money? He wasn't voting. He wasn't there. He was not president. What are they talking about? There was something else I wanted to mention in the... What was it? There was something else in that clip that was totally irksome. Hold on a second. Do you mind if I just...

32:16 Go back for a second. Go review it. Yeah, hold on a second. It was somewhere in the middle here. Hold on. They said you didn't pay, you're delinquent. He said yes, let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. Can you imagine a former president of United States saying that? The whole world heard it. The worst thing is he means it. And delivering this blistering rebuke. No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator. Ukraine at this critical moment will never be forgotten. Biden slamming his comments from Tribulion for Ukraine. I don't remember what it was, but anyway, I'm sorry.

32:57 Well, you'll probably pick it up on the CBS report. These are all the same. No doubt. The former president has set a dangerous and shockingly frankly un-American signal to the world. President Biden leveled a blistering attack today on Donald Trump for recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies from a Russian attack if they don't pay full due. Wow, this sounds like the same guy. It sounds like the same voiceover. I know when you started playing the clip of this guy. Oh my god. Wait a minute. Hold on a second. No, this was on that clip. This is the same guy. Let me hear that again. Let me see. Because he means it. And delivering this blistering rebuke to the alliance. Let's say that happened. It's the same guy. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would. Wait a minute. Is that O'Keefe? That was Ryan Nobles. That was this NBC guy. They sound the same.

33:40 Well, you know, they came from the same stable. Wow, that's incredible. The former president has set a dangerous and shockingly frankly un-American signal to the world. President Biden leveled a blistering attack today on Donald Trump for recently saying he wouldn't defend NATO allies from a Russian attack if they don't pay full dues to the alliance. Let's say that happened. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills. Can you imagine a former president of the United States saying that? The whole world heard it. Same clip. The worst thing is he means it. No other president in our history has ever bowed down to a Russian dictator. Bowed down. Let me say this as clearly as I can. I never will. For God's sake, it's dumb, it's shameful, it's dangerous, it's un-American. The president spoke after an all- Oh, I know what the- I know. I had a question.

34:35 They keep calling Putin a dictator. Is he a dictator? I thought, isn't it, they don't have a dictatorship in Russia, do they? No, he's elected. Yeah, he's elected. I mean, he's, he's, he's, uh, I would say a de facto dictator, but he's not technically a dictator. It's dumb. It's shameful. It's dangerous. It's un-American. The president spoke after an all night marathon debate in the Senate led to early morning passage of an emergency national security spending bill. The bill as amended passes. It would provide billions in military assistance to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, but says nothing about US-Mexico border security. And that's why House Speaker Mike Johnson says he won't bring it up for a vote. House Republicans are increasingly taking cues from Trump, who has said they shouldn't support any border security deal that could benefit Democrats and President Biden. Now he's taking cues. Is Trump in his ear like, hey, oops.

35:35 like, hey Mike, don't do it man, this is your IFB talking Mike. And what is going on with this reporting? This is bull crap. The president today said the stakes are bigger than that. And I say to the House members, House Republicans, you got to decide. Are you going to stand up for freedom or are you going to side with terror and tyranny? Will you stand with America or with Trump? Meanwhile, tonight House Republicans are planning to vote again to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas amid opposition to his handling of border security. A similar vote failed last week and if they succeed this time, Mayorkas would be the first cabinet secretary impeached since 1876. You know, the cynical thing about this bill is that also giving money to Palestine. We're giving money to both sides.

36:24 It's dynamite. It's great. It's our taxpayers money. We gotta do something with it instead of spending it wisely and fixing the potholes on Highway 80 all over the place. It's not taxpayer money, John. That's not true. No, well, it's the roundabout. Whatever money is missing from the coffers, it's taxpayers money. Yeah, we're just... Let's take a look at CBC's reporting on the same thing. By the way, John, it's an investment, okay? It's an investment in our national security. Standing before an energetic crowd in a small city in South Carolina, Donald Trump veered from his prepared remarks at one of his re-election campaign rallies, telling a story about a conversation he says he had with an unnamed world leader about whether the U.S. would come to the defense of a NATO ally in the face of Russian aggression. One of the presidents of a big country stood up said,

37:24 Well, sir, if we don't pay and we're attacked by Russia... Will you protect us? I said, you didn't pay, you're delinquent. In this moment, Trump mischaracterizes how NATO funding works, but goes on to suggest that unless an ally meets its defense spending targets, that country is not worth defending against Russian advances. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. Trump's statement is a direct contradiction of Where did Trump ever say it's not worth defending? That's what she said. Let me hear it again. Which were laughable by the way, his comments were somewhat humorous and she characterized them as telling a guy you're not worth defending. He never says that. And he meant it, it wasn't a joke John.

38:14 He meant it. I heard the president say he meant it. That's the crazy thing. But goes on to suggest that unless an ally meets its defense spending targets, that country is not worth defending against Russian advances. Now, good catch. No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. Trump's statement is a direct contradiction of the NATO principle that an attack on one is an attack on all. Canada is among the NATO country members that Trump would consider not worthy of protection as it does not spend at least 2% of its GDP on defense, the baseline target. Only 11 of NATO's 31 members actually hit defense funding goals. Spokesperson for Canada's defense minister Bill Blair did not say anything critical of Trump but reaffirmed Canada's commitment to the International Security Alliance.

39:06 None of this will likely matter to Trump's supporters. He left Saturday's rally to huge applause and was defended by key members of the Republican establishment. Trump's pro-Russia statements are influencing lawmakers. Republican opposition to support Ukraine is growing. I mean exactly specifically do you have any indication in there that it's pro-Russian? Are you trying to tell me that the media is trying to mind control us with these thoughts? They're trying to do something here with this issue.

39:48 He left Saturday's rally to huge applause and was defended by key members of the Republican establishment Trump's pro-russia statements are influencing lawmakers Republican opposition to support for Ukraine is growing Stalling the passage of billions of dollars in aid packages which still remain in limbo so the whole you know, promoting pro-Putin, promoting Putin. There was another one that I caught, very short clip here, a British journalist, I don't know why we let him in Congress, limey. We let some limey Brit come into Congress and accost Marjorie Taylor Greene. And he had a better one. David Cameron says that you should vote through funding for Ukraine. What do you say to that? I think he tried to compare us to Hitler also. And if that's the kind of language he wants to use, I really have nothing to say to him. Well, he likened you to an appeaser to Hitler in not voting through funding for Ukraine. Are you an appeaser for Putin? An appeaser for Putin. There it is.

40:50 I think that I really don't care what David Cameron has to say. I think that's rude name-calling and I don't appreciate that type of language. And David Cameron needs to worry about his own country and frankly he can kiss my ass. But do you think Putin is a good guy in all this? I love the, I don't like the rude language, but kiss my ass. Yeah, there you go. There you go, Marjorie. I want to play this. This is the Ukraine. This clip is Ukrainian aid bill stalled. House Republicans again highlighting their focus on securing the southern border. It comes as the Senate passed a $95 billion security package that doesn't address the record influx of illegal immigrants. Our Washington correspondent, Luis Eduardo Martinez, has more details on the current legislative impasse in Congress.

41:37 It is February the 14th, Valentine's Day, a day to celebrate love. Love! But according to Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, Americans are not feeling loved by their president. No love! House Republican leadership emphasized that they won't be forced to act on the foreign aid bill the Senate passed Tuesday until Americans' concern over the border crisis are addressed. Senator McConnell and I have spoken about this in frank sessions and let me be clear here again this morning. The Republican-led House will not be jammed or forced into passing a foreign aid bill that was opposed by most Republican senators and does nothing to secure our own border. During back-to-back press conferences, Congressman Pete Aguilar, chair of the House Democratic Caucus, urged Johnson to bring the Senate's $95 foreign aid package to a vote on the House floor.

42:28 Aguilar says Ukraine and other U.S. allies are in urgent need of assistance. It's very clear. If you want to push back against Putin, if you want to help our national security, put this bill, this bipartisan bill, on the floor. The White House's national security adviser had similar comments. All I can say is that each passing day, each passing week, the cost of inaction from the United States that's being borne on the front lines by brave Ukrainians is rising and that's why we so urgently need to pass this bill. Urgently! Urgently! Please! Get that money out there. You know, do you remember... By the way, in my opinion, this bill would pass if Johnson would put it up for a vote. That's why he's not doing it. Of course not. Of course not.

43:18 Do you remember we were talking about Eric Schmidt, the ex-Google guy, and he did a big thing on, how was it, CNN? He was talking about, he started a drone company. And he says this is the next level of warfare. It's all about the drones, the drones, the drones. I think there's something to what he's doing. He's a brilliant man, this Eric Schmidt. He is, listen to the Dutch defense minister. We know, of course, that drones are very important in this war. So while we're seeing trench warfare, we're also seeing the drones and the role they play on the battlefield.

43:57 So, apart from F-16s, ammunition, spare parts, drone is very important to Ukraine right now. And we need to scale up. We need to make sure that they have the number of drones that they need, but also drones with the right capabilities. So, based on what Ukraine is learning also in front line. And that's why we are joining the drone coalition. that Ukraine has started together with Latvia, together with other countries, to make sure that we do just that, to increase production, to use the latest technology and to provide exactly what Ukraine needs.

44:38 It's marine drones, it's air drones, it's drone, drone, drone, drone. Everything's a drone. Everything's a drone. There's money to be made in the drone business. I have one more clip to play on this NATO thing. Big money in drones. Before you go off the drones. We were listening to all these reactions to Trump's commentary about NATO and oh he wants this and that. This is an interesting little clip. This is just the public leaving Trump's rally discussing the matter. And I think this is what the public thinks.

45:42 But the military industrial complex is being promoted by Trump. The term, yeah, that's the irony. The term fair share, which Biden loves to use, I think should be used constantly about this commentary that Trump had to say. Yeah, but this is everyone's... the military industrial complex has power. They have power, man. They got power over everybody, over all these numbnuts. Over everybody but except for the big pharma. Yeah, well I'm not sure who's bigger. The two of them are in bed together. And another shot, dear. And something interesting happened. You know, we've been talking about the Democrats actually wanting Trump to win.

46:33 Yeah, this is one of our subtext theses. Yes. Well, I have another data point. Brett Weinstein, fresh from his appearance on Tucker, he's going around the world. You know, he went to the Darien Gap and he came back and said, oh, we're being invaded by Chinese as military age men, even though I think we've successfully proven that there's huge unemployment in China and the rich Chinese who can or the wealthy or the middle class who can travel to other countries or hopscotching around they take an Uber at the last minute they come to the fence. There's nothing wrong with having a tens of thousands of smart Chinese coming into the country to boost our IQ. Yes.

47:20 But Weinstein is now on the, and I actually texted with Joe about this, and he says, you know, we're being invaded. I said, no, we're not. But it was this little bit. of Weinstein's appearance that really said, oh, we're on the right track. Well, I don't think we're there yet, but I don't think on the basis of the time he would have, his temperament or his ability to build a team. You know, Trump is kind of a one man show and his team building ability I don't think is enough to solve the problem either. But the punchline of that is If Kennedy can't do it for whatever reason if politics gets in the way

48:03 We still have to get whatever that cabal is out of power immediately. This could not be more of an emergency. We've seen through COVID how dangerous these people are, how little they care about our well-being, and we have to rally around whatever it is that addresses this problem. And as much as I'm not a believer that Trump on his own can do the job, I would far prefer him to another standard bearer of that cabal. The cabal is too dangerous. And I say this, as you know, I'm a lifelong Democrat, right? This is my party that I'm telling you cannot be trusted with governance. But that's where we are.

48:47 That's a big show. It's a big show to be saying that kind of stuff. It's a big, big show. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's definitely going to find himself into a heap of trouble. It's like Matt Taibbi has been making the rounds with all kinds of interesting stories, but... You know, if you're a Democrat during, within the last decade, and you leave the party, this would happen to Trump. Trump, I think, is one of the examples of this. It's more of a cult than anything else. You leave, they go after you. They don't go after you, they don't go after me, because I left the Democrat Party in the late 70s. So I'm exempt. But the recent Democrat Party people are all in a

49:28 He said cabal, he just said cabal. Well I always said cabal but cult is what I really mean. Because when you leave a cult they go after you. That's what all cults do. And so Weinstein's in for a heap of trouble. Just by that clip right there is gonna get him into hot water. You watch. Well he's, you know, I think he's very malleable. These words are not just his. People are talking to him. You know, the dream team. The dream team's talking to him. Matt Lee, our buddy in the State Department, is back and it's always fun to have Matt Lee back on deck. I don't know why it's been so long we haven't heard from him. And now we have President Biden saying, oh, you know, this Israel response was over the top. It's over the top, all right.

50:20 And I guess it was Sullivan maybe who said, oh, you know, we've got many levers. We told them Israelis what we're going to do. We told them what to do. We're Merca, Merca. And Matt Lee's having none of it. What levers have you used? So we have used diplomatical levers. The secretary has. That means the secretary and the president and you and Kirby and whoever else standing up and saying wagging your finger and saying that that's not really leverage. We have engaged with them on a multitude of levels at this administration and as I you could literally be in Matt Lee's chair

51:03 I love how he said multitude. What does that mean, a multitude? And as you look at the list that we just went through with Humira, we have seen them take steps at our urging that have had real tangible impact, but they have not been enough. But what levers have you actually used? I think that when the United States of America stands up and says something publicly, it matters. No, it doesn't. But you haven't said that there would be any consequences in terms of money or military assistance, right? But we have seen, because of the policies we have pursued, we have seen improvements along these specific areas. We have seen tangible improvements.

51:51 I'm just asking you what leverage have you used? What leverage have you brought to bear? I just went through it. I think the words of the President of the United States, the words of the Secretary of State matter. Over the top? That's leverage? We have seen the government of Israel respond to it. Not always in the way that we want, not always to the degree that we want or to the level that we want. That our interventions we believe have had an impact and we will continue to pursue them because we believe they do What Matt Lee is pointing out is that Israel has some huge leverage on the administration? And they have nothing well we told them you know calm down. No kill us babies in the Netherlands who interestingly have a large part to play with the f-35 supply chain they took a totally different track and and

52:45 The same defense minister who heard earlier all in on drones for Ukraine. Whoops! No more F-35 parts for Israel. An appeals court in the Netherlands has ordered the government to stop F-35 parts deliveries to Israel. The ruling takes effect within the next seven days and for more on this story we can go across to Fernand Van Tets standing by at The Hague. Fernand, what exactly is this ruling and will it have an impact? So there was an audible gasp, Delana, in the court as this verdict came through. This court saying that the Netherlands needs to reconsider its export license for those F-35 parts to Israel because there is a serious risk of violations to international humanitarian law and thus this is how the minister should rule. Now this is centered around the small town of Woonstrecht in Brabant here which is where the F-35 regional warehouse is which is where

53:42 all European partners of the F-35 program and Israel are supplied with their F-35 spare parts. Now, the minister had argued that she had re-looked at this general export license which was given in 2016 after October 7th but in light of Israel's right to self-defense and and political considerations such as the Dutch relationship with the United States and Israel had decided to continue exporting those parts. The judges here now said that that was the wrong decision. They say it is clear that there are violations to international humanitarian law taking place in Gaza due to the large number of civilian casualties there, including children, and that within seven days all export of parts to the F-35 jet to Israel must stop.

54:26 Dude, they went and overruled through the courts. You're done. This is very interesting. That's got to cause some problems at back channel. Well, it's about time for some of that Epstein video footage to come out. If they're going to, if there is blackmail going on, which seems apparent, why else would the United States say, oh, we said it's over the top and that'll slow them down? No. So is everyone all afraid? Oh, they might. I mean, it's time for some more Epstein client list stories. Yeah, sure. They got plenty of people. The list must be a mile long. Yeah. But my point is that whenever they need to

55:12 Get everyone in line. We need something to get done. Yeah, then all of a sudden we go, oh, we're going to have to release another client list. How about just do some pictures so we can call them AI generated? Come on, come on, let's do it. Let's spice up the show, people. I'm tired of waiting. It's about time. I have a couple of little side bits here. Well, I do have some Gaza news, so I'm going to play these because there's some funny stuff here that doesn't get in the mainstream. So I got it from NTD. And this is the two hostages no deal NTD clips and there's three of these clips. This is NTD. Things are heating up across Israel's northern border with Lebanon and an Israeli official says they are preparing for war in the north. This comes as the Israeli military says that two Al Jazeera reporters are also Hamas terrorists.

56:05 NTD's Jason Perry has the latest on the war. Israeli troops were then seen going up the stairs to the second floor of the building where they rescued the hostages. Those two former hostages said this on Wednesday. I want to say thank you to all the people of Israel and to the security forces who brought us home. I want to say thank you to all those who participated in this complex operation, to the IDF,

56:46 to the security forces, to all the soldiers who made us really feel that we were being brought home. And both of them said they hoped the remaining hostages would be released. And in regard to a possible ceasefire to release the over 100 hostages who remain in the Gaza Strip, Officials from the United States, Egypt, Israel and Qatar met in Egypt on Tuesday for ceasefire negotiations. But according to reports, no deal was reached and apparently there was not even a date announced for their next meeting to continue the talks. Now there's something about these two hostages which kind of, and it was brought to the fore by what this guy said, one of the hostages says, hey they brought us and made us feel like we were actually going back home.

57:32 It was, I think that was... As if it was all an act. It was meant to obfuscate the obvious bombing that happened on Super Bowl Sunday. Well, it definitely did that, but why are these two hostages, you know, it just doesn't make sense if you had these two guys. out in the middle of nowhere. They're not with the rest of the hostages. You can't, you know, where are the hostages? And why are these two guys where they are? And why are they saying, well, this is great. We got back home and made us feel like we were really coming home. What does that mean? This hostage thing was just a scam of some sort. You're going to get us banned. Israel is now banning foreign media or they're threatening to. No media, there's no media here. Stop reporting.

58:18 And so the thing which brings us to clip two, if this is true, which it makes sense that it might be because I think the UNRA thing that UN agencies also... Oh, it's very suspicious. Yeah, just like the White Helmets. And this part which the mainstream media in this country hasn't touched, But I think it's definitely worth a discussion, part two of this. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Hamas didn't offer anything new in their proposal. Hamas apparently still demands that Israel end the war completely before they will release the hostages. I insist that Hamas should abandon its delusional demands.

59:00 And when it does, we will be able to move forward. And in another development this week, an IDF spokesman to Arab media said in a statement on X that Israeli forces recovered a laptop in the Gaza Strip. And pictures on the laptop showed that an Al Jazeera reporter is also a senior military operative in the Hamas terrorist group. And on Wednesday, the IDF spokesman posted a picture of another alleged Al Jazeera reporter who filmed himself in an Israeli village during the October 7th massacre. We reached out to Al Jazeera for comment, but we didn't hear back before airtime. All right, we must remember a couple things. One,

59:40 We still have no resolution, and it quickly gets forgotten, as to how this fence, this border, this security fence could be so violated and broken through with hours of a lack of response, because that's just falling off the radar. We don't talk about that anymore. How... But we do. Well, we do. But so that, it just, that makes no sense. And you've got to start questioning the motives of quote-unquote leaders of all countries about what's really going on here. The second thing we need to remember is that these leaders, they don't care about people. They don't care. They don't care how many they have to kill, how many die. They've got some, whatever the reason for all this is,

1:00:29 They don't care. They'll just do whatever. And then we sit here, even you and I, like, oh, let's listen to the news. No, okay, let's make... That's what we're paid to do. Hello. Makes nothing but sense. Jeez. Okay. Why are we doing this? I don't know. I'm out of here. So let's go to part three. Also on Wednesday, across Israel's northern border, Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon fired a barrage of rockets into northern Israel, killing one woman and injuring eight others. In response to the attacks, Israel Defense Forces reported striking a series of targets in Lebanon, and the chief of the general staff of the IDF said they are preparing for war in the north.

1:01:13 This is just West Clark 7 just unfolding before us. That's all I can see. Yeah, kind of. This is slow. It's all of it. Now, I have one little side clip here I want to play. And this is... The first thing that came to mind when I heard this clip and I thought to myself, what was Tucker Carlson really doing in Russia? meeting with Putin. Is it possible that... He was passing off a USB stick? He was doing something. I'm saying is it possible that he was doing something and there's something may be involved with this particular clip.

1:01:53 Play this clip. This is the clip is prisoner exchange. Meanwhile, a possible prisoner exchange could be in the works between Russia and the US. The Kremlin refused to comment on the state of negotiations when asked today. It restated that such cases must be resolved in silence. The US is seeking the release of former Marine Paul Whelan and reporter Evan Gershkovich, both held in Russian prisons on spy charges they deny. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said yesterday that he had spoken to Whelan in a rare phone call. Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested in an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson last week that in return for Gershkovich, Moscow wants Germany to free Vadim Kraskov.

1:02:36 Krasnikov was convicted of murdering a Chechen dissident in Berlin. It could be. It's possible. I mean, I don't know. You have to have some face-to-face once in a while, but with this Ukrainian situation going on, you need to get a third party, a neutral guy in there who's got nothing to do with the State Department, the U.S. government or anything else. They can't just pick up the phone? But he's always wanted to be a spook. They can't just pick up the phone? I don't know, but on his way home, Tucker stopped off at the World Government Conference. Yes, I saw that too. And he was interviewed. It's hard to clip. We looked at his crotch for 36 minutes. It was the worst camera shot ever. You know, with that huge dude behind him, besides him, asking questions while they're side by side. Very uncomfortable, hard to clip. Also, uninteresting. It was just uninteresting.

1:03:33 And why did they have that shot of his crotch? It just, it was stuff. These are amateurs. But so, or maybe not. Maybe it was just some jokes there I'm not going to use. But how about, let's go back to this, the idea of Tucker going back there to set up this prisoner exchange. One of the things that, Putin wants is this guy that killed the Chechen guy. Yeah, and he wants him out of he wants him back in Russia and in the interview Putin did discuss that CIA being involved in this and that and the other thing and he and he got out which something has never been done on American media he got out what he considers the fact that the Chechen situation was set up and executed by the CIA is what he says and

1:04:26 Arm narrative about the Chesneyan thing is that it was all established by by Putin he set it up so he could burn down the big apartment building and kill a bunch of Chesneyans and look like a national hero. Oh yeah, I remember that. Yes, okay, I'm back. And that's been going on and I don't think Putin likes that narrative. It may or may not be true. None of this, all this by the way we're discussing may or may not be true. But it, there's a lot of scams going on and so far it's trying to get us to think one way or the other. But Putin Putin got that into the public domain, this little CIA thing. The idea would be this, we want to get these two Americans back. What do we have to do? Putin says, I'll do an interview with Tucker. I have to discuss the CIA getting involved in Chechnya. I want that guy back from Germany and then you can have your spook and your journalist back and we'll be good to go. But you're gonna have to set it up.

1:05:19 In a secret like this dude in this last so you're telling me that that's really the level of importance of things that these guys are thinking about I just don't look like a douche I Okay Yeah, exactly. That's exactly what I'm thinking. And there's no explanation for Tucker. Oh, I've been trying to do this interview for a decade, blah, blah, blah. This whole Tucker thing and this boring interview, I think was just to get Tucker over there to set up things because he's always wanted to be a spook. He said so himself. Set things up for the Russians to do this trade because there's no reason for this prisoner

1:06:00 transferred this trade to happen now, coincidentally, like a couple of days after Tucker shows up. Well, you've successfully ruined any chances of me ever appearing on Tucker's show. That's for sure. That's never going to happen now. Maybe I ruined my chances. I didn't ruin your chances. You're defending Tucker. I can hear it. No, I'm not. I'm not. Because what he did for me is he reminded me that the World Government Congress conference was on. I think is Dubai and I was like, oh, that's right That's where all these douchebags get together and tell us how they're gonna rule us in the future Exactly. And luckily our boy Schwab was there and he laid it out. Seven years ago after having written a book about the first industrial revolution I showed how this revolution will change how we live, how we act

1:06:58 how we communicate, how we produce and how we consume. Now we are speaking not just about the fourth industrial revolution. We are speaking about the transition of humankind into a new era. We speak about the transition into what I would call the intelligent age. This vision unfolds within a society where artificial intelligence, robotics, the internet of the things.

1:07:36 I love that. The Internet of the things. The Internet of the things. Robotics. The things. The Internet of the things. 3D printing, genetic engineering, quantum computing become the foundations of our daily life. Okay, so he's setting it up with the internet of zissings. Zissings. Quantum computing. I just want to point out quantum computing. On deck. Yeah, he's just wrong about that. On deck. But he's warming here. He's really talking about a global warming. What does it look like? But if that's another polish, okay, quiet when this guy is on when his head is on a stick. Do you think his mouth should be a gape or somebody should wire it shut? What do you think? What I what I like about this is that this is how these people are thinking.

1:08:30 It doesn't mean that it's true, but it is true how they think and they're all in because they're dumb. They are dumb. That's why they're doing this job. It's because it's a dumb job and you just get fat and drunk and porked. They have a good time. So it's really about transhumanist control. Here's your Schwabby boy. The future is not happening. Oui. particularly you as government leaders, you are shaping the future. So what does it mean for government leaders? We don't want to move into using the fourth industrial revolution into a cold bureaucracy. That's exactly what you want, so that's why you're saying we don't want to do it. We don't want to move into a technocracy. Yes, you do. What we want to do

1:09:27 We want to move in what I would call a humanocracy. A world where we use technology to use all our human potential. and to create even a petroglyph. Thank you. Yes, thank you. No, man, this guy. Let's just check in with the public and see how that's going. How are we? How are we doing with all of this AI and the Internet of things? Close call in the crosswalk as these adults in San Francisco rush two kids out of the way to avoid being hit and then do a double take as they watch the car cruise by with no driver.

1:10:09 The so-called robo-taxi is operated by crews. Did you see what happened to the Waymo car in San Francisco? Yeah, we talked about it in the last show. No, no, no, we didn't talk about it on this show. Tell us, you live there, boots on the ground, what happened to the Waymo vehicle? Well, there was a, it was like a... an event, I think it was in the Castro District, and some Waymo car comes into the area, and it stops and then jams traffic, and there's a bunch of, they always have these issues, they get in the traffic and they can't get out. They suck, they suck. And so somebody decided, oh, this is for Chinese New Year, and so somebody decided to bust the windows out of the thing, and then they threw a bunch of firecrackers, and they caught the thing on fire, and then it started catching, and it burning to the ground,

1:09:27 We want to move in what I would call a humanocracy. A world where we use technology to use all our human potential. and to create even a petroglyph. Thank you. Yes, thank you. No, man, this guy. Let's just check in with the public and see how that's going. How are we? How are we doing with all of this AI and the Internet of things? Close call in the crosswalk as these adults in San Francisco rush two kids out of the way to avoid being hit and then do a double take as they watch the car cruise by with no driver.

1:10:09 The so-called robo-taxi is operated by crews. Did you see what happened to the Waymo car in San Francisco? Yeah, we talked about it in the last show. No, no, no, we didn't talk about it on this show. Tell us, you live there, boots on the ground, what happened to the Waymo vehicle? Well, there was a, it was like a... an event, I think it was in the Castro District, and some Waymo car comes into the area, and it stops and then jams traffic, and there's a bunch of, they always have these issues, they get in the traffic and they can't get out. They suck, they suck. And so somebody decided, oh, this is for Chinese New Year, and so somebody decided to bust the windows out of the thing, and then they threw a bunch of firecrackers, and they caught the thing on fire, and then it started catching, and it burning to the ground,

1:10:54 People were cheering and yelling and circling it and jumping up and down. It was like some sort of a tribal thing from Samoa or someplace. It's like a science fiction movie where we're happy, we got one of them. We got one of the borgs. We killed them. All that was missing was tying it up. Let's listen to Dutch member of European Parliament Rob Roos who will tell us really exactly what the plan is. The bureaucrats centralists in Brussels are addicted to power. They use or they abuse every crisis. Financial crisis, COVID crisis, Ukraine crisis, energy crisis. And the solution is always the same and the professor already said it, more European Union.

1:11:42 If there's no crisis, and that's the second point, if there's no crisis, they create a crisis. For example, climate change. They call it an existential threat. And the solution is the Green Deal. The Green Deal destroyed our energy system. It is destroying our food system. They are trying to control CO2, but if you control CO2, you control people because everything we do in life is about CO2 emissions, living, breathing, eating.

1:12:25 traveling, living. So if you can control that you can control people's lives. Now they introduced the digital identity and the central bank digital currency. So they can see everything we do and they can control everything we do because they can shut off our financial system whenever they want. We have seen it already in Canada during the COVID crisis. Yes, exactly. And I think that there's some op at play, intentionally, unintentionally. I'm not sure all ops would be intentional. This was a very odd report. It was a local ABC report.

1:13:10 The this is happening tells me that we need some solutions and the banks can't do it. They're no good. I hadn't tapped it. I hadn't inserted it. I hadn't swiped it. And then all of a sudden out comes the receipt. And I said, how did this get paid for? The cashier couldn't explain it. She stood there literally just sort of blank. I really thought that the guy ahead of me, that he had been charged. I said, somebody paid for this on a credit card somewhere. Turns out the tap to pay card reader at Safeway had ignored the debit card in Edgar's hand. Instead, it reached into Edgar's back pocket. threw his wallet and charged his Bank of America credit card tucked inside. That's a pretty big reach. I mean, around me or threw me to my wallet. Why didn't he grab the card that was near it? How did it decide what to grab? I was shocked. I was like, well, it can't be. Sonia Sazari says it happened at a doctor's office. I went to pay and they said, you're already paid. And I said,

1:14:09 I haven't inserted my card. I haven't even taken it out of my wallet. Turns out the card reader there had sent radio waves into her purse and charged her credit card without her knowing it. And that wasn't all. Sonia got an even bigger surprise at a little shop. The woman said, Oh my, it's just red three cards. The store's tap-to-pay system charged not only one, but three credit cards tucked in a wallet inside her purse. I'd say I was two feet away at that point for sure. All charges were reversed, but it was troubling. This doesn't sound real to me.

1:14:50 Sounds like bullcrap to me too. Now my cards are in a wallet that has a Fairday Cage Fairday Cage Fairday Cage, of course, but but when I pulled the card out to have it read on one of these things I have to fight it I gotta move it around, I gotta flip it over. I'm struggling for, hey, gotta read the card and then I give up and I stick it in. But generally, there you go, there's a line for ya. So you fool around, you fool around. So for the fact of the thing that one guy says it went through his body, into his wallet, in his back pocket. It reached around. It was a reach around. Bull crap.

1:15:32 Bull crap! These stories are being planted for some reason. Okay, you brought him up. What's the reason? Oh, we have to have a new banking system. This is no longer secure. It can only be Federal Reserve, FedNow, I don't want to say CBDC. Well, then reach around with it anyway. It's one of these cards. No, no, John. It's got this huge RFID range. Hold on. We just said it's a bull crap story because the way the RFID works It's, you know, it's a ref, the signal goes out is reflected back, the energy is reflected back by the chip in your card. That's the part that is just not going to happen at two foot distance. Unless, I mean, does it amplify one on one? Does it go in at 10 watts and come out 10 watts? I doubt it.

1:16:20 So it's just not a true story. That's why it's a local story. It's not a true story. And this is to discredit banks, to discredit your tap to pay, probably to discredit Google Pay and Apple Pay and all this stuff. This is there's an op at play. A pay, a pay op, a play to pop, a pop, pop, a pay op play. Something like that. How about from the forces of cash? The forces of cash! Okay, Boomer. That ship has long sailed. Long sailed. Long sailed. I know in Berkeley, for example, they started implementing all these, all these, oh, you only use a credit card here and there and then became a city ordinance. No, you can't because the homeless don't have credit cards.

1:17:09 And they may want to go into a place and buy a hamburger, a homeless person, all they have is cash. And they have to go and use cash to buy the burger. How about this? How about it's Satoshi Nakamoto telling everyone to use Bitcoin? I mean, that's just as good a statement. Yeah, well, it's hard to buy a burger with Bitcoin. That depends what burger joint you go to. Your check still hasn't arrived, by the way. Well, I sent it. I think there's something going on with the post office. Oh, well that's totally possible. Because we had a guy, there's just been too many anomalous, really old mail that was like, you look at the date, why is it taking so long to get to me? It used to be like three days for mail pretty much shipped anywhere in the country to get to the post office box. Now it's five, seven, eight, ten. What happened? Just so you know, I sent it from my bank, so they sent the check, so there could be a delay there, I don't know.

1:18:05 You know, it's a great way to send cash and a check. And I sent it to the PO box. Have you been to the PO box? Yeah, yesterday. Okay. Well, maybe it's there today. We had another... So it came in from the bank. It's not going to just get mixed right in with no agenda stuff? It says John C. Dvorak. Which a lot of no agenda stuff comes to John C. Dvorak at that post office box. Yeah. From Adam Curry? Well not if it came, it's not from Madame Currie, you said so yourself it's from some bank. It'll be a printed check from me and the last time I did this you said never send it to the house, send it to the PL box.

1:18:44 You literally told me this because the last time they got... Well, yes, but I didn't realize it was coming from some anonymous bank. It's not an anonymous bank. It'll be a check that says Adam Curry on the check. Okay, if it says Adam Curry on this one. Have you ever seen... And I don't see it on the spreadsheet. If I see Adam Curry on the spreadsheet... Sorry, I'm deducting this. That's an interesting way to recoup half of this bet. No, I'm already... I think it's a smart move. I'm giving you kudos for what a great idea. No, I'm expensing it as show content. Are you kidding me? I'm writing it right off. Like, oh no, no, no, no, show content. Yeah, but then you can regain half of it in the same way. I've seen scams like this.

1:19:24 Let's talk about something else odd that happened that is not really, it's under reported. I had to pick this up from Banyan Show. Mitch McConnell's sister-in-law, you know he's married to a Chinese. Yeah, he's got direct connections to the People's Republic. So apparently on her ranch in Texas She got into her Tesla and it backed up into the water and she drowned. The Tesla she was driving was found in a pond. Her husband is Jim Breyer. Jim Breyer is a famous investor, invested in Facebook, was one of the early investors in Facebook and then went off and started funneling a lot of money into China through a company called ADG. He's on the board of another big China investor, which is, I believe he's on the board of Blackstone.

1:20:25 You know, so he's got a lot of a lot of China exposure and here everybody's kind of shocked, right? It's like there's a mysterious passing away of you know, a prominent woman who was on the board of directors of the Bank of China was involved in the You know McConnell cow shipping company They've done a lot of the shipping community the shipping communities disrupted and there's just mystery. There's no information There's all these articles on Elaine Chao and her relationships and everything else and all at the all at the end It says there was a car accident You know, and it was reported by Kyle Bass on Twitter this morning and it started leaking out last night that this was more drowning than a car accident and that it was a car on their ranch outside of Austin, Texas. Maybe a toot of the head moment here. Well, I mean, death by Tesla. How hard is it to program? Tesla is just a computer with a bunch of batteries. With wheels. So how hard would it be to program it to

1:21:31 Once you get in, under some circumstances, pre-programmed, to lock the door so you can't get out, back up into the river, or lake, whatever it is, I guess it's a lake on the property, just go into reverse, because it can park itself. You can let the thing go and go find a parking spot. So it can back up into the lake and drown you all programmatically. Is that a possibility? Anybody out there? You know, by the way, Brunetti, who wants us to... Did you see Brunetti's got one of those stupid trucks? The cyber truck? Yeah, well listen to this. Let me just let me just tie into what you're saying first of all The Tesla doors are very scary. There's lots of Stories of people where the word caught on fire they couldn't get out because the doors wouldn't unlock It's it's you know it's like a by wire thing. It's not a direct Mechanical lock China

1:22:28 is definitely trying to overtake the EV market or what's left of it. I would say it could be an industrial hit by China. That's a little good. Back her into the pond, and the doors may just have shorted out, whatever. You can lock the doors. I'm sorry? You can back her into the pond, you can lock the doors. I'm saying the minute she's in drive, the thing locks the doors, and then she's back in and just done. It's over. Panic and it's done. There's a lot of pressure on Tesla. The car is definitely going to sink. It weighs a ton more than most cars. Oh yeah, it'll sink right into the mud. Yeah. Okay, what about Brunetti with his Cybertruck? Well, Brunetti got himself a Cybertruck and I'm thinking that somebody could use the same trick to get rid of him.

1:23:19 Wow. You should be careful with these things. Why would you say that about a friend of the show? No, I'm worried now. Why would you do this? I wasn't worried before you ran this clip that anyone who has a Tesla of any sort could be assassinated. Hey Dana, I love you man. Don't worry about it. Don't listen to John, but don't drive that thing. It's a total penis. Around water. And you know, if it gets dirty, if it gets bird poop on it, you have to clean it off right away because it might hurt the stainless steel. Oh, I think I'm not mistaken, that's a stainless steel body. Stainless steel is not... The first thing you learn in a laboratory, stainless steel is not stainless. Just briefly on the AI scam, headline, Sam Altman wants $7 trillion.

1:24:14 Five to seven. Yes. Here's what was interesting about this AI crap. Each level up of a GPT, so now I guess we're at GPT-4. So to go to GPT-5, so we can reach, what do they call it? Truly generative AI. Now, what is the term? Autonomous AI, whatever it is. Where it thinks for itself. Oh yeah, that'll be the day. Costs between 25 and 100 times the previous one. So, and so forget the compute power, the amount of energy needed. GPT-4 took 50 gigawatt hours of energy to train. So GPT-5 will need 1500 gigawatt hours. What's this green? It's not. The whole thing's a scam and he's smart. He's like, I'm going to go get, there'll be some chips, give me some money.

1:25:13 He's not going to get anything done. Supercomputing is next on deck, baby. I'm telling you, it's falling apart. None of it works. You know, now they're saying, oh, the Microsoft thing is not all that great. It's not all that great. And I think in general, there's moves now to get, you know, to pressure Silicon Valley. You guys got to start paying us more. We want more lobbying money. And up front and center is New York City Mayor Eric Adams. My fellow New Yorkers. This is a city built on innovation and technology. Ooh, really? A place where we... Built on potholes and rats. Oh, shit. And rats. Celebrate progress and look to the future.

1:25:53 But even as we have created jobs, opportunity and prosperity with new technology, there have been unforeseen consequences and new dangers, especially when it comes to social media's effect on the mental health of our young people. Over the past decade, We have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world can be, exposing children to content they are not ready for, disrupting the educational process, and seriously damaging their self-esteem and well-being.

1:26:31 Our most recent data found that young people in New York City are experiencing anxiety, hopelessness, and even attempt to suicide at rates we have never seen before. And there is growing evidence that the power of social media is a major cause. This is a serious problem that must be addressed now. That is why earlier this morning our administration filed a lawsuit against the companies that own five major social media platforms. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat and YouTube.

1:27:11 As we announced last month in the State of the City Address, we must take action to protect our children from harm online, including the growing dangers presented by social media. Give me money. Give me money. And this brings me to a new exit strategy for you and I. I believe I have found an exit strategy that we can even involve the No Agenda Shop for this. I'm very excited about this. This is some new medical research. I feel that we have the insight, we have the knowledge, we certainly have the testing grounds. We have a lot of people who can test our product and make sure it works.

1:27:59 This is a medical breakthrough. People struggling with depression may be able to ease their symptoms with certain scents. Familiar smells help trigger life memories, assisting with depression recovery. University of Pittsburgh neuroscientists and social workers found scents were more effective than words to cue up happy memories and reverse the negative thought cycle. They believe familiar memory triggering scents could play a major role in aiding faster, smoother depression healing. Odors are so powerful because they engage the amygdala through nerve connections. I'm thinking smells on a stick. This, this... Oh brother. Come on! We can, we can work with all kinds. We have lavender blossoms, we've got lavender smells.

1:28:49 I'm this is what an easy fix. What is this called? It's called smell smellography. What is this? The word? Stink therapy. There's some word for this. Stink therapy. Stink therapy. Fragrance therapy. I'm not sure what it would be. Somebody in the troll room should know right off the top of their head what I'm talking about. Aromatherapy. Aromatherapy. Yeah, so this is not new. Yeah, but the research is new. We can sell diffusers. It's the original no agenda amygdala shrinkage package. Ugh, this is a product. Okay, it's a product. It's a product. You know how I feel about product. Yeah, that's true. We don't like product.

1:29:40 I would like to play one clip by Bobby the Op. It's his latest campaign advertisement. It's not on television. By the way, let's just stop for a second. Did you see his campaign? Did you see any of the Super Bowl? Do you see his campaign ad? I saw the ad and I will say this. Within the ad there was a picture of the Kennedy, the classic Kennedy 19, I think it's 1960 or 64 bumper sticker. The Kennedy bumper sticker. Yeah, I don't know. And that which is a very straight, very straightforward looking bumper sticker. I have, I believe, about 100 of these things. I stored them away back in the when I was a little kid and I still have them. Do you know where I am going to put them up for sale? Can you put your hands on them?

1:30:30 I believe I know where they are, yes. Oh, you saved them since you were a little kid? You are a true archivist, John C. de Warwick. I am! I'm so impressed with you. But I have these stickers and they're classic Kennedy sticker. Now I would have preferred to have had a big collection of something else, but these are classics and they were in that ad. Excellent. By the way, there was another, they did the Jesus ad? Did you see the Jesus ad? The Jesus is us or whatever it is? Yeah. That has been going around for a while. Well, I hadn't seen it and it's all these AI, like blatantly AI images. Here's the thing. So they have Jesus washing everybody's feet. Trans person, black person. And then the prostitute. I'm sorry. The prostitute washed Jesus' feet. Jesus only washed the apostles' feet. Who is behind this ad?

1:31:27 prostitutes all right Bobby Dopp it's a rather long clip and he plays I think it's very smart one I don't know if it gets any play or not but But he is pulling out the BlackRock card, which I think is a good move. Yeah, yeah, this is actually quite good. I'm glad you got this. I think it's a good move because everybody across the political spectrum hates BlackRock. I don't think it's true when he says BlackRock owns it. BlackRock, do they really own more than 10% in any company? They're minority shareholders in almost everything they own. They may own a company or two, but it's not what their style of investing is.

1:32:09 Exactly. They don't own it. But that doesn't matter because it's politics. What? A politician lying? But I think it's very effective and it pretty much sums up 16 years of no agenda in a few minutes. It's a war that should have never happened. It's a war the Russians tried repeatedly to settle on terms that were very, very beneficial to Ukraine and us. The major thing they wanted. Are you saying something? No, that's the noise in your own clip. Oh god, that's horrible. want to add new countries to NATO all the time. Why? Because then that country has to conform its military purchases to NATO weapon specifications, which means certain companies, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, General Dynamics, Boeing, and Lockheed get entrapped in the market. In March of 2022, we committed $113 billion.

1:33:12 Just to give you an example, we could have built a home for almost every homeless person in this country. We then committed another 24 billion since then, two months ago, and now President Biden's asking for another 60 billion. But the big, big expenses are gonna come after the war, when we have to rebuild all the things that we destroyed. Mitch McConnell was asked, can we really afford to spend 113 billion in Ukraine? He said, don't worry. It's not really going to Ukraine. is going to American defense manufacturers. So he just admitted it's a money laundering scheme. And who do you think owns every one of those companies? BlackRock. Yeah, BlackRock. So Tim Scott, during the Republican debate, said, don't worry, it's not a gift to Ukraine, it's a loan. So raise your hand if you think that that loan's ever getting paid back. Yeah, of course it's not. So why do they call it a loan?

1:34:12 Because if they call it a loan, they can impose loan conditions. And what are the loan conditions that we impose on? Number one, an extreme austerity program, so that if you're poor in Ukraine, you're going to be poor forever. Number two, most important, Ukraine has to put all of its government-owned assets up for sale to multinational corporations, including all of its agricultural land, the biggest single asset in Europe. In Ukraine, there's been a thousand years of war fought over that land. It's the richest foreign land in the world. It's the breadbasket of Europe. 500,000 kids, almost, Ukrainian kids have died to keep that land as part of Ukraine.

1:34:54 They almost certainly didn't know about this long condition. They've already sold 30% of it. The buyers were DuPont, Cargill and Monsanto. Who do you think owns all of those companies? Yeah, BlackRock. And then in December, President Biden gave out the contract to rebuild Ukraine. And who do you think got that contract? The background. So they're doing this right in front of us. They don't even care that we know anymore, because they know that they can get away with it. And how do they know that? Because they have a strategy. And that strategy is an old, old strategy, which is they keep us at war with each other. They keep us hating on each other.

1:35:41 They keep the Republicans and Democrats fighting each other and black against white and all these divisions that they sow. There you go. I like his penis that he carries around with him everywhere. It's not true. I just, you know, the contract didn't go to BlackRock. So let's go, I'm just looking at just randomly grab Monsanto's This is shareholders. Yes, ownership structure, sure. And so we have BlackRock that four different divisions of BlackRock own the following percentage.

1:36:17 of, you know what, there's another one, which is minor. There's four, okay, there's four divisions, different parts of BlackRock. Man, they got all kinds of little bits and pieces. Let's go with this. No one said they weren't good. I mean, they know what they're doing. BlackRock Institutional Trust, the big boy, owns 2.2% of Monsanto. Wow. BlackRock, which is a lot, BlackRock Fund Advisors, another little spin-off subset, it owns 1.24, which brings it up to 3.6. BlackRock Group LTD owns .74%, and BlackRock Advisors owns .15. So maybe 4% of Monsanto is held by BlackRock. This is not owning in the sense that the public would see it. Oh, by the way,

1:37:08 Black Rock Japan owns .11. That's a good one. They own a lot of stock, but it's like they, you know, and they have a lot of influence because that's a lot of voters when it comes to the voting stock. But it's not the same as we think of when we think of somebody owning it. They own four, let's say they own, if they owned 5%, that's still just 5%. How about Vanguard? Because I think that that's the real, you know, BlackRock gets all the bad press. Vanguard's not even on this list with Monsanto. Oh, I have, I'm looking at Vanguard's, when is this from? I don't have, I don't have a day, oh, this is 2013. I'll bet you Vanguard owns more. That's what all the politicians, all the politicians are in Vanguard. That's what they all get in on. And the funny thing is that you just have, you know, they should just get it on the bonds.

1:38:06 I love the inflation report. That made sense. Yeah, everybody, inflation. Oh, it's not going down. Hmm. Hmm. What are the chances? I bet you they're going to raise rates this year. Nobody sees that. That's what they should do. Yeah. Nobody, nobody sees that and they don't expect it. And they're waiting for more rate cuts. Well, the jobs report has been pulled apart by all kinds of people. My favorite part of the jobs report pull apart was the fact that most of the jobs that are from are been given to illegal aliens. Well, there's that breakout. Yeah, that that government jobs and a lot of people got a second or third job.

1:38:57 Right. And I'm seeing like the restaurant industry at every young person I know in the restaurant industry has to get a second job because the hours are being cut. I don't know if people just not going out to eat. I don't know. It's too expensive. The restaurant business right now is not a business I'd want to be in. It's not good. Not good. Or, or the medical device business who are striking back They're striking back at Ozempic. Here's a fun little report. On the Medical Watch, bypassing diabetes for the long haul. Medical reporter Dena Bair is here with some new insight. Dena. Lourdes and Pat, bypass surgery helps patients lose weight and shed a diabetes diagnosis. Now researchers at the American College of Surgeons say even if the weight comes back, diabetes stays away. Looking at data from nearly 300 people treated at Mayo Clinic from 2008 to 2017.

1:39:52 Doctors found gastric bypass improves long-term type 2 diabetes remission. 75% of bypass patients did not see their diabetes return. And for those who gained every bit of weight back, 60% still remained diabetes free. Yeah, stop with the Ozempic people. Get your lap band. Get on the operating table. That's right. And there's an Ozempic class action now that is ramping up. and this was really, I was surprised by this report from ABC. I guess they're not getting enough ad money. U.S. government officials say they're looking into the practices of powerful middlemen in relation to a critical shortage of generic drugs. The FTC is focusing on drug distributors and other companies in the supply chain that buy medicines for hospitals. Those middlemen are accused of driving prices higher.

1:40:47 I'm talking a little bit nasty. It's money. It's all about money. I do have a clip here from Janet Yellen, who is very confident about our economy despite the inflation, which of course is because our president is on the ball. We hit the road with Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen in the battleground state of Michigan, where the economy is one of voters' top concerns. Do you think the president can win in Michigan in November? Well, I certainly hope so. I think the economy is going to be good and strong. Inflation rose 3.1 percent in January, more than expected. Driving the higher prices, car insurance surged 21 percent over the last year. Rent has risen 6 percent and daycare costs are up 5 percent. Are you and President Biden happy with where inflation is right now? Super happy.

1:41:42 We know that Americans are experiencing discomfort because important prices are higher than they were pre-pandemic. But what I think is really important is that wages have gone up along with prices. So people are better off. than they were pre pandemic. Another hurdle for the Biden campaign voter concerns about his age again a focus after special counsel Robert hers report questioning the president's mental fitness. It called President Biden a well meaning elderly man with a

1:42:22 poor memory. Do you agree with that? I absolutely disagree with that. I work very closely with President Biden. I disagree. He's an elderly man with a crappy memory. And I'm often with him on foreign trips. He's at the top of his game. What the special counsel said was very unfair. Another sign of trouble for President Biden here in Michigan. A liberal group originally affiliated and launched by Senator Bernie Sanders back in 2016 is urging Michiganders to vote uncommitted to the upcoming Democratic primary because of President Biden's position on the Israel-Hamas war. Meantime, Secretary Yellen tells us the administration needs to do everything it can to quote bring this tragic conflict to an end.

1:43:08 I'm wondering if you saw the Wall Street Journal article. First of all, I must say that was a non sequitur of a story. Starts one place and ends another. Well, no, I haven't actually read the article, but I have I'm very familiar with it, but what it's trying to do. Yes. Well, the headline was I'm ready to serve. Yeah. Now it was the art. The interview was done. two days before the unfortunate report came out. Yes, supposedly. This is what they say. I think it's, I don't know. I'm ready to serve. She may have had a clue that this report had to say. She may have been on top of the I'm ready to serve nonsense. West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrissey

1:43:57 is now calling for Vice President Kamala Harris to invoke the 25th Amendment. Boy, it would be such a year of firsts, wouldn't it? It would be great. It'd be great, but she's not going to do it. She's gutless. overnight if you listen to anybody and by the way these guys are gonna have a lot of explaining to do if they Do anything because like Mayorkas was on meet the press last Sunday I don't have a clip unfortunately because he's what a doofus that guy is and he's glib and he's arrogant he's patronizing and he's He says, oh, Biden sharp as a tack. I have to meet with him all the time. I've never met a man. He asks the right questions. He grills me. He's sharp as a tack. I wish you could see it. Axios had a huge report about all the problems going on in the background of in the administration. Let me see. Infighting. I'll bring it up here. Exclusive. How Biden botched the border. Nice. Infighting.

1:45:03 Turmoil and apparently according to Axios, Biden's are running around yelling at everybody. Yeah, that I think might be true. He's just running around yelling at everybody, doesn't know why he's yelling. But it's okay, everything's so good. You just heard from our Treasury Secretary. Wages are up, everybody's happy. Let's start with the flight attendants today. Roughly 5,000 walked picket lines at about 30 airports nationwide, including Orlando, Miami, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Chicago, Denver, Houston, Dallas.

1:45:39 The three unions are in contract talks with big airlines, Alaska, Southwest, United, JetBlue, Frontier, Wisconsin, and American Airlines. They are demanding better pay and working conditions. This was only a picket today, not a strike, so flights should have still been fully staffed. Meanwhile, Uber, Lyft and some delivery drivers are planning to strike tomorrow in about 10 cities and targeting airports. They're also demanding better pay and improved driver safety. Lester? Those wages, they're great. Everything's up. Everybody's happy. You know, people may be feeling a little discomfort. It's so sad that we just, I mean, it's great for us because we have a job, but the news media, they're just so bad. They are bad. They're really bad.

1:46:26 Although the UK finally relented overnight. Britain's economy fell into a recession in the second half of last year. Oh no! Official data released Thursday showed gross domestic product contracted by a worse than expected 0.3% in the three months to December. That follows another decline over the period between July and September of 0.1%. Britain's Office for National Statistics said the Q4 falling GDP was the biggest since the first quarter of 2021 in the depths of the health crisis. Yeah, I love that. The health crisis. Let's just call it the health crisis. You mean COVID? The COVID scandemic? Richie Sunak, where is it? I have it here. Richie Sunak did a town hall which he will regret for a long time.

1:45:39 The three unions are in contract talks with big airlines, Alaska, Southwest, United, JetBlue, Frontier, Wisconsin, and American Airlines. They are demanding better pay and working conditions. This was only a picket today, not a strike, so flights should have still been fully staffed. Meanwhile, Uber, Lyft and some delivery drivers are planning to strike tomorrow in about 10 cities and targeting airports. They're also demanding better pay and improved driver safety. Lester? Those wages, they're great. Everything's up. Everybody's happy. You know, people may be feeling a little discomfort. It's so sad that we just, I mean, it's great for us because we have a job, but the news media, they're just so bad. They are bad. They're really bad.

1:46:26 Although the UK finally relented overnight. Britain's economy fell into a recession in the second half of last year. Oh no! Official data released Thursday showed gross domestic product contracted by a worse than expected 0.3% in the three months to December. That follows another decline over the period between July and September of 0.1%. Britain's Office for National Statistics said the Q4 falling GDP was the biggest since the first quarter of 2021 in the depths of the health crisis. Yeah, I love that. The health crisis. Let's just call it the health crisis. You mean COVID? The COVID scandemic? Richie Sunak, where is it? I have it here. Richie Sunak did a town hall which he will regret for a long time.

1:47:18 Um, let me kind of zoom back. Where is this clip? Here it is. Rishi, Rishi, I say Richie, Rishi, Rishi Sunak did a town hall and all of a sudden, now you got to kind of tune in because the guy's from Scotland. You have to remind some of some of the people that listen and produce the show that who he is, he's the Prime Minister. Prime Minister of the UK. Married into a billionaire family. What's the name? He's set. Yeah, what's the name of the company that his father-in-law started? I don't know. Big company. So Rishi, who was placed there after they kicked out Teresa, remember that? They crashed the gilts. Oh, you're out, you're dumb. Put in this guy, this rich guy, he'll know. So Rishi gets accosted by a man claiming to be vaccine injured.

1:48:13 And it's not just him, there's another one in the audience. And of course we cannot have this. The news model has to jump in and he has to stop this nonsense. But it's worth listening to the absolute frustration and despair in this man's Scottish-accented voice. My name is John Watt and I'm one of the COVID vaccine injured in this country. I want you to look into my eyes, Rishi Sunak, and I want you to look at the pain, the trauma and the regret I have in my eyes. We have been left with no help at all. Not only am I in here that's vaccine injured, there's another man over there whose life's been ruined by that COVID-19 vaccine. I know people who have lost legs, amputations,

1:49:02 I know people with heart conditions like myself, Rishi Sunak. Why are the people who are in charge, who told us all to do the right thing, have left us all to rot? and left me and the thousands and the tens of thousands in this country to rot. Rishi Sunak, look me in the eye. When are you going to start to do the right thing? There are over 30,000 people who have had an adverse reaction to that vaccine and you are the deaths. John, thank you very much indeed for your question. You've made a really strong point, John. Prime Minister. John Bullock, I'm very sorry to hear about

1:49:42 your personal circumstances and you said someone over here also seems to have suffered by the similar by a similar thing now obviously I don't know about the individual situation that you're in. We are silenced. We are the most stylish people in this country. I'm silent in the press because my story in the press. I had to go to the government for comment and they made me say it. Get in there! Get in there! Forgive me, forgive me both. I'm happy. I'm interested in that. No one is saying no as you are. I've lost my house, my wife, my successful career. And sir, you raise some very valid points I'm sure. What I've got to say is though, we haven't got you on microphone. Oh, that's the problem.

1:50:26 I'm sure we can raise your points with the Prime Minister at a later date. Yes, and that was the end of it. They were carted off. Yeah. Later date. Look me in the eye, Rishi Sunak. I like that. I like it. Look me in the eye. It's tragic. Things are so bad. You remember Rachel Dolezal? How bad are they? Do you remember Rachel Dolezal? Wasn't she in Texas now teaching kindergarten or something? Where is she? Do you remember Rachel Dolezal? Of course we everyone remembers Rachel Dolezal. She's the one who identifies as black. Yes, things are so bad that Rachel Dolezal now has an OnlyFans page. Yeah, I understand that. This is... But it's not that she's stripping or anything, is she? Yes! Oh? Yes!

1:51:19 So there's, if you can't even, if you identify as black and you can't even get a gig, you got to go to OnlyFans. This is bad. This is very, very bad. But it doesn't matter because we'll have a good news segment at the end of the show. We'll bring you right back up. Well, Rachel Dole is all having a OnlyFans page. It's probably good news for some people. It's not good news. It's bad. It's like someone sent me this note and said, and I'm attaching a picture. And luckily he didn't attach a picture. And I said, you didn't attach it, don't worry, don't resend it. I'm good to go. I believe you.

1:52:02 What did he say? I don't know. That was before the show and then I didn't look. Let's go to the battle between Texas and the United States. USA versus Texas. Yes, this is a big one. We're still on deck. All happening in Eagle Pass. One little swath of land that has a fence. 45 US lawmakers signed this amicus brief this week supporting Texas in a legal case against the Justice Department. The Biden administration is suing Texas over a new law known as Senate Bill 4. Governor Greg Abbott signed it into law in December. Now, Senate Bill 4 gives Texas police the authority to arrest illegal immigrants for trespassing once they enter the Lone Star State. Now, the Justice Department argues that Texas can't do that because arresting immigrants falls under federal authority. But Representative Jody Arrington, who leads the 45 lawmakers, disagrees. Watch.

1:52:54 Not only is this president and secretary failing to provide for a common defense and willfully disregarding the laws of the land, they are obstructing our state's effort to protect our citizens and defend our border. Meanwhile, new numbers show that the month of January saw over 176,000 immigrant encounters at the southern border. That's more than any January ever before, breaking the previous record set in 2023 with nearly 160,000 encounters. That's right. That's why wages are going up.

1:53:32 You know, he mentioned Amicus Brief. There's been an update from our constitutional lawyer, Rob, who has been tracking the Missouri versus Biden case in the Supreme Court. And that's basically where the administration was threatening Twitter and other social media companies to take down accounts and posts, etc. And our constitutional lawyer said, hey, you know, I'm very happy to write an amicus brief for the No Agenda Show. And I said, well, why do we do that? He says, because it's kind of cool to have the No Agenda Show, you know, registered with the Supreme Court.

1:54:15 I don't, you know, he says he'll write it for us. I'd like this explained in a little more detail. What do you mean? Well, what would the brief be regarding? Well, it would, well, this is the point is we have to, we have to come up with a reason to say, yeah, you know, this is wrong. Podcast, go podcasting. That's the, that's the basic idea. I think. Oh, I see. Go podcasting. Go podcasting. Go podcasting angle. We could put a go podcasting angle in somehow, but it would be the no agenda show with Okay, I would like to have, I think we should go ahead with this. Okay, there we go. And how do we do this? I don't have an and because I'd like to have more clarification. Okay. That would help. He said, as for no agenda amicus brief, one, this is how he writes to me, one brackets, if a case is important to y'all,

1:55:04 Please don't write that in our amicus brief. If a case is important to y'all, why not have your position considered by the justices sitting on the highest court in the land and possibly get a mention somewhere? Yes, sometimes an amicus brief moves the needle, making a difference on an important case. That's his MO. Okay, so we need to find some cases that we want to throw some amicus briefs into. Well, I think we have plenty. We can do more than one. I think we have plenty of producers who had posts taken down, who were shadow banned. I mean, I think we have an entire audience filled with people who had that happen. So maybe we take a couple of those.

1:55:44 Okay, well let's just discuss this in our... We're not gonna have a meeting. I'm not gonna have a meeting. In our after show post-mortem. I don't want a meeting. Let's not do meetings. I do want to... I hear your series of clips about meta versus AI. Yes, these I put off from the last show. This is meta versus AI versus PBS. For some reason I like these because there's a there's because there's some There's some twists in clip two and three. So let's start with clip one meta versus AI versus PBS. Earlier this week as the 2024 election campaigns picked up steam, meta announced it would start labeling AI generated images that appear on Facebook, Instagram and threads to help users better judge what they're seeing.

1:56:36 In December, an advocacy group called Free Press said Meta, YouTube and X have rolled back a total of 17 policies intended to protect against hate speech and misinformation. Oh, that's very confusing. What exactly did they say there? That is another one of these that we're seeing more and more of these. There was one earlier in the show, these what I consider to be a non sequitur opening to some topic. Well, how do you get from from labeling AI generated images, which I've starting to see the people labeling them. They're not labeling as AI, they're labeling the source as Wally or whatever those things are. Oh yeah, Dolly, Dolly, Dolly, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally, Wally.

1:57:29 And so So then he goes from that to hate speech. I don't know. I think it must have to do with I guess AI images and memes which tend to be I think most memes are Hate speech can be defined as hate speech because they're always Slamming something just bad comedy most of them. So here we go. It's good now here. We got a clip tune I have the word dud written Okay, the group also said layoffs at the three companies make it harder to enforce the safeguards that remain Katie Harbath is the chief global affairs officer at Duco which is a technology consulting firm She's also a former public policy director at Facebook Katie this announcement from meta. How big a deal is that how helpful is this going to be and is it enough?

1:58:19 So I think that this is just one of many important steps that platforms have to take when thinking about safeguarding elections not only here in the United States but around the globe. And so we are facing new challenges with AI as well as existing challenges that have been around for a long time, such as misinformation, foreign interference, transparency around political ads. And I think one of the challenges as we go into this cycle is that question of whether or not these platforms are prepared is we just don't know because they are also putting in a lot of investment. They're making a lot of changes, as you mentioned, but we also don't know the twists and turns that await for us over the course of this next year. And so the real question, the real proof of this will be how these companies act

1:59:05 as these different elections happen and as we see different forms of nefarious interference happen. Nefarious interference? Nefarious interference? So what is she talking about? That Epstein pictures are coming out and it has to be deemed AI. You know, I'm not a big fan of this thesis of yours, at least initially, but as this continues and like stories like this, I'm starting to warm up to it. Well, if we don't send more money to Israel, it's going to happen. The Epstein pictures are coming. It's coming. This has been going on for this op has been going on for a long time. It's time to lay some smack down. Yes, they need to lay some smack down and show some pictures.

1:59:53 Well, something's coming up. But let's go to part three, which I have the comment on this one as stooge. This is one of the biggest open questions for me. Many of the some of the platforms such as Meta have actually announced things that they're doing for the upcoming Indonesian elections, for the Mexico elections coming up. But they're just not being as transparent about that and what that means around the globe. Traditionally, we have seen just a lot more time, money, and effort put into the English language, into elections in the US and the EU. And I am worried that so much attention is going to get sucked into those elections, that we will forget about these elections all around the globe that will have just as much impact on the future of the global world order and how we handle issues on everything from from climate change to other geopolitical issues. Oh, brother, she had to bring that in. I like I like the political stuff, but then you bring in climate change and yeah, always has to bring it in. It's no good.

2:00:53 So those three clips were was a was a disappointment. A little bit. I want to run off this clip though. This is I've been saving this for weeks and weeks because we have not discussed it but this is something that we did discuss. probably two or three years ago, maybe even pre-COVID. Wow. Because there was some shooting in Slovenia or something and then... Oh yes, yes, the kids, the parents got convicted. And the parents in Slovenia got convicted. Well, it looks like we're heading in the same direction. This is the Michigan mom on trial. This is a Democracy Now! clip, but I don't think it's Amy, so don't play anything.

2:01:33 And this is a big deal that is really not, is still flying a little bit under the radar. In Michigan, a jury has convicted Jennifer Crumbly of four counts of involuntary manslaughter for a deadly school shooting carried out by her 15-year-old son at Oxford High School in 2021. Prosecutors argued Crumbly had a duty to prevent her son from going on the rampage, which killed four students in what was Michigan's deadliest school shooting. Yeah, yeah, I saw that's not a dad's going under trial to they're getting both parents are gonna get both parents for the kids shooting this is I don't want to sound like a funny daddy Yes, I always sound like a funny daddy. That's beside the point. I think this is the go-after the black Americans Oh

2:02:27 They have more kids sh- like in Oakland. There's murders going on all the time and there's a lot of juveniles doing them. I think they're gonna start going after black, they had to find some, let's get a white example. Let's do the white man first. Let's run this one down and see what happens. Is anybody feeding back negatively? No, nobody's feeding back negatively. This looks good. We're not even getting much coverage. You'd think you'd get more coverage than this. Okay, let's start going after black parents for their wayward kids shooting up the place in Oakland and elsewhere. Interesting theory. Run that one by Mo. I certainly will. And meanwhile in Chicago, whatever you do, let's take away tools. Not renewing Chicago's multi-million dollar contract with Sound Thinking, the company that runs the gunshot detection system, has long been on the mind of

2:03:26 Brandon Johnson, even before he was elected mayor. These tools have proven not to work. You can find a whole lot of things we can spend $10 million on. Just months into his young administration, the mayor's office says it mistakenly, electronically signed a contract extension with the company that runs through Friday. Tuesday, he made good on a campaign promise saying he would end the contract, but he wants to keep the gunfire detection system online through the Democratic National Convention set for Chicago in late August. Now city leaders are hearing sound thinking may not agree to the one-time extension and shut the system down tomorrow.

2:04:05 The system has been the target of progressives for years, many agreeing with the mayor that it is ineffective and leads to over policing. They cite studies that show many gunshots detected don't lead to arrests or prosecutions. Supporters, however, question why the city would want to get rid of any tool that helps police. Police Superintendent Larry Snelling has made similar arguments. The company that owns ShotSpotter sent a statement last night that didn't mention whether it would stay with the city through the DNC or shut it down tomorrow. It did, however, say it is proud of the work that it's done here in Chicago over the past seven years and has helped locate hundreds of gunshot victims when no 911 call came in.

2:04:48 It's very interesting. The mayor made a campaign promise, which was part of defund the police. I think 40% of Chicago's budget goes towards policing, which is a lot, certainly for the results they're getting. At least the media results, because most of the gang warfare takes place in a very small area. But the mayor said, yeah, I want to keep it through the DNC, because it doesn't work. Yes, I thought the same illogic was just stood out like a sore thumb. It doesn't work, but we need it for this moment. Yeah.

2:05:24 Yeah, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. The thing is, it does work. I think it works. I know they have it in Oakland and it seems to do some good, but Oakland police was a defund operation too. They defunded the police and put in a weak district attorney so you wouldn't get anyone to say that and people go left and right. And so they have all these issues, including the NAACP coming out and saying, hey, Oakland's got to do something. And this is like an organization that that you know that rarely comes out and says anything about anything at least when it comes to like policing. Yeah I would say yeah it's like we had that shooting in Kansas City during the the Chiefs Super Bowl celebrations. Yeah. You know everyone's baffled like oh we don't know how this could happen you know they've arrested four people ah wrong skin color ah

2:06:21 We can't, we can't, I mean, Biden did his best, you know. He tried to say, oh, you know, it's a gun problem, gun problem. Here, let's see, I have a clip. President Biden, do you have a reaction to the shooting in Kansas City? As the president and his wife admired messages of love on the White House lawn, questions over a fatal shooting struck a sharp contrast. As is often the case after such tragedies in the United States, Joe Biden released a statement condemning the violence and urging action on gun reform. He called on Americans to make their voice heard in Congress, to finally act to ban assault weapons, to limit high-capacity magazines and strengthen background checks. Those sentiments were echoed by Vice President Kamala Harris. The reality of it is on the hands of the prevented.

2:07:19 Members of legislatures, including the United States Congress, just have the courage to act. With reasonable gun safety laws. Now what I find interesting about this particular news clip is Kamala Harris is stepping out of Marine One. What does she get to ride in the chopper? What is she doing this? That's not typical. No, no, no. We have a Secret Service guy that is one of our show producers and he brings up a lot of interesting points. He brought some mistakes we made last time, including the fact that when I was critical of Joe Biden, when they

2:07:56 soldiers came back into Dover-Delaware Airport. Yeah, the dignified transfers. The dignified transfers. It turns out that that's where they always take place, so we should know that. So anyone saying otherwise is full of crap. And the families are never there at the airplane. They're inside the chapel where it's private and they don't take pictures. Right. He made that made us clear that up. Yeah, we appreciate that. But he would know about this particular situation, what's going on. And how about the other shooting that nobody wants to talk about at all, which is the transsexual

2:08:33 dude woman who went into Joel Osteen's operation and was gunned down by people carrying. Well, I'm going to push back a little bit on that because I'm not sure it immediately was, it's a trans person, which would be par for the course with the church shootings. Um, actually I have a clip, hold on a second. Uh, cause it was more related to, um, Israel. But we don't even know because the guy's girl, guy, whatever it is, is dead. Yeah, we do. We do. We do. Hold on, this is... Yeah, Palestinian sticker on the gunstock. We know that. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's it.

2:09:15 But why are they shooting up that church? What's it got to do with Palestine? Oh, I'm sure it has to do with... it's a family matter. It's not going to go anywhere because it was one of those situations where a couple of guys carrying guns in the church stopped this from getting any worse. This is not a good idea to go into any church trying to shoot anything up these days. Well, not in Texas. No, no, no. Everybody's packing. Everybody. The women are packing. No, but it's very sad, very sad that this happened. I mean, what's going on, people? Stop it. You know, she had a she, he, whatever this person was, had a had a ban. So I don't know how you can buy it. The gun was apparently purchased legally, but they had a ban since 2015, 2016.

2:10:11 No, it doesn't go anywhere. None of it. So Lloyd Austin's back again from the hospital once again. Yeah, he had an emergency procedure. What happened? He had to bow out? They won't say, but he's fine. He's got his voice back. Of course, his voice could easily be altered through nefarious means because he's still just doing Zoom calls and he's seated. So I think he went back in because I think they got the right guy, but he's still not tall enough. So they keep putting him in zoom meetings so you can't see how tall he is. And I think they're operating. I think he's getting those leg operations where they can add like two or three inches to your body lengthening your calves. Moon landing. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. Hold on a second. There we go.

2:10:58 He's getting a leg operation everybody. Yeah, sure. It's an operation that people have done. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin hosted a virtual meeting on Ukraine Today. That's just one day after he was released from the hospital following treatment for prostate cancer. The Pentagon chief said he's in good condition. He vowed to support Ukraine even as future funding remains in doubt. I plan to be in person with you today in Brussels, but I had to return to the hospital for non-surgical procedures. I'm in good condition and my cancer prognosis remains excellent. I'm really grateful for all the well wishes. The United States continues to stand force where with Ukraine.

2:11:41 And America will continue to support Ukraine's principle fight against Putin's imperial aggression. Austin delivered opening remarks to the Ukraine Defense Contact Group. He addressed Ukraine's urgent need for ammunition in its ongoing conflict with Russia. The Pentagon has been unable to send weapons to Ukraine since December due to a lack of funds. The Senate on Tuesday passed a $95 billion aid bill for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. But House Speaker Johnson has signaled he won't bring the bill to the House floor, leaving its fate uncertain. I like the imperial aggression. How does that work with a dictator? Is he a king? Is he a dictator? He's an imperialist, whatever. You know, we've been following the renewal of the FISA Act.

2:12:30 for a few months now, and I guess it's finally coming to bear or coming to the forefront. And amendments are coming in now. This is amazing. And I'm not, maybe it's in this clip, amendments have been proposed that would remove the necessity for a warrant If it is, if so, the fight, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which is, isn't that a Patriot Act 9-11 throwback? Isn't that what all came out of that? Yeah. Which means that the NSA, who of course, they have everything. They have, hello NSA, they have this podcast. They have all your phone calls. And I'm sure we have listeners there.

2:13:10 I don't know if they're producers or not but they should be. They got the money. How about sending some money? We're trying to survive here people. We're trying to survive here. A, we got a lousy day today when we hear the donation segment's gonna be very short except only one guy came in with any amount of money or a reliable guy, anonymous. And the NSA has shown no love whatsoever even though I know they have to with all those people they have to have at At least a hundred people from the NSA listen to this podcast. So the way it works is once they say, hey we've identified some foreign person, then they just go and type it in, pull it up and they can listen, they can read, they can do whatever they want. And if the conversation or the communication is with an American citizen, they're supposed to get what's called a FISA warrant.

2:14:00 Which means you have to go and convince a secret judge in a secret room, in a secret room, in a secret house, on a secret day, on a very secret day without any information. Like hey we got it we have to listen to this American which is inherently illegal to do but because of the FISA Act that's changed and now there's an amendment that says you know what we don't even need to have a warrant and Jake Sullivan... Just drop that pain in the ass. And Jake Sullivan, our national security advisor, is all in on it. On FISA, there are a couple of amendments that are being considered. One of them would require a warrant for every query of lawfully collected data. If that were to pass and get into the bill, would the president

2:14:44 veto that bill? Today, I will be making that case to a number of members that the warrant requirement as conceived is not the best way actually to ensure the protection of the personal privacy of Americans. There are a number of other elements of the bill that we have supported that would reform and update FISA to protect the civil liberties of Americans. But a warrant requirement from our perspective would go too far in undermining the very purpose of FISA and frankly it would put victims at risk.

2:15:27 Oh yeah. There it is. What victims? What victims? What victims have there been that have been put at risk under any circumstance? What are the victims? What is he talking about? Well, he's got a PowerPoint. He'll be presenting it. This is bullcrap. The only reason for this whole setup is so you can spy on your political enemies. It's got nothing to do with anything. There it is. There it is. There it is. And then finally, before we take a break, despite a huge Super Bowl, which was the second largest live televised event in American history after the moon landing. At least you're consistent. This was live. I mean, it was actually the number one real live event. Oh! There we go.

2:16:19 Which I think had a huge windfall. They even had, because of the Swift app, they had lots of female-oriented ads, which is atypical, other than get me some snacks, woman. And then there was the bonanza of having overtime with those same expensive ad rates. Yeah, which apparently... It brought in over $600 million that one show. So $600 in, 800 jobs out, including Sadly, sadly, our boy Jeff Begay's, the poop-meister, he's out. Hey, he's apparently a douche in the workplace. Who says? No, the reports are saying that he had an HR dispute where he was dressing down female journalists on the work floor for 20 minutes. To do his lousy work, maybe? Probably. He doesn't seem like the right guy to be a real a-hole.

2:17:17 Well, we've always liked him on this show. He's one of our fan favorites. So you can mock his voice. Here's how the meeting went. The No Agenda guys like him out. Who else is like, oh, they like the pixie girl out. Now, we have a different view of this because Catherine Herridge, who came from Fox, went to the CIA broadcast systems, was very effective. She gets inside information all the time. She's always spilling the beans. We think it's a reassignment. That was my thinking, yes. Definitely reassignment. Where do you think she'll wind up and where would she be most effective? She has a look. She's going to wind up where she's, I'm going to guess this. She's going to wind up where she's needed. And so that means that wherever she shows up, that is an operation, whatever news or could be any media company whatsoever, could be One Nation or whatever, you know, the thing that Chris Cromwell was on, it could be anywhere.

2:18:22 That place is obviously on the needs work list. You know, you put these enemies lists up on the blackboard and you have these companies that need work. In other words, they're not toeing the line. I have a thought. And they don't have the right CIA people in there. And so she's going to, wherever she ends up, that's a needs workplace. And I think it's going to be News Nation or something like that, maybe. Nope. I think she's going to get a government job as a spokeshole. I think that she could be a national security spokeshole. Maybe Kirby. Kirby's not doing well. Kirby is just not bringing home the bacon. Replace Kirby. Replace Kirby maybe. But I think it's a government gig. That makes the most sense for her. Well, okay. I'm going to take it one step further then. It's going to be a government gig in the Trump administration.

2:19:15 She won't last two seconds. No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't think so. CIA is... Everyone, make a record, somebody make a recording. There's always a recording. Just call our friends at the NSA. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the bad comedy. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora. Well in the morning in here Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning ships at sea, boots on the ground, feeding our subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Oh no! Oh no! Last Thursday we had 1742. Today 1630. We're down, we're down trolls. We're down 110 trolls. We've lost them. We didn't even play an Africa clip.

2:20:08 Uh-huh. What are we doing? I don't know but we're begun it we're not an attractive troll room anymore. No I Don't know the trolls who were here. Oh, here's one be more funny is is the funniest we can be we're not comedians Well, we are a comedy podcast. Yeah, well Valentine's Day hangover is suggested and that's possible? No. No. Valentine's Day slipped by. It didn't really... Valentine's Day is always a dog for the show. Always. Mother's Day, Valentine's Day. Except during COVID. Yep, you're right. During the two years of COVID, we were making hay during Valentine's Day because everyone was all concerned about their, you know, their relatives and wives and spouses and whatever. Damn.

2:20:57 So they would all be, you know, kind of their hand wringing during that period. Back to normal, pre-COVID, it was the same way. Oh, Valentine's Day, oh, these assholes are trying to make money from Valentine's Day. I hate Valentine's Day. So I looked up Valentine's Day. Do you know why we celebrate this? I think I wrote it up once in one of the old newsletters, but I've long since forgot. So St. Valentine, who married Christians and preached the gospel, he was in He was beheaded on February 14th 268 headed. Yes, we're celebrating a beheading of a saint Who know I mean is America great sense to me we can make we can make a holiday out of anything good on you Hallmark good good work. Well no wonder we have it drops off and then we have everything's drops off

2:22:00 The trolls who are here, we love you. They're all listening live. We do this show live on Thursdays and Sundays, noagendastream.com. Or you can, and that's just something you can go to and listen to if you don't want to be in the troll room, go to the troll room at trollroom.io or use a Modern Podcast app, which now includes Joe Rogan. And you can find those at modernpodcastapps.com. It's the only way to listen if you want to go against the man, which is the big Silicon Valley companies, and you want to make sure that you hear all of your podcasts. And they get de-platformed all the time. You know, you could be listening on Spotify. It's gone. Several a day, they de-platform, and Apple does the same. So we don't have that problem with the modern podcast apps.

2:22:45 We're value for value. Been doing it for 16 years. It's a magical system. It keeps us on our toes most of the time. No, all the time actually I'd say. Yeah, it keeps us on our toes all the time. Yeah, so we don't have a guaranteed income. We don't have guaranteed advertising that we don't have to thank God. We don't have to do, you know, oh let's do an ad read. Hey John! Gee John, I'm... Yes Adam, hey, how you doing buddy? I've been feeling a little overweight. Have you seen the new Deathbound? It's a great product. I've lost 10 pounds. Oh, tell me about it. So we don't have to do any of that phony baloney stuff at all.

2:23:30 Which means that we give you this show free. Free, no hindrances, no creepy commercials, no corporate money, there's no levels, you don't have no paywalls, you don't have to jump through hoops. You can get it in all kinds of places, wherever you get your podcasts, obviously. And you're free to disseminate it, make copies, make lots of copies so that when we... Post it on your website. Post it on your website. Like a blog. Exactly. You can... Because you're making a comeback. It's really true. It's really true. Kids are back doing what's sad about the blogs is kids are going and I say kids I'm talking young kids. You're talking about kids. I'm talking about 20s. And so they're reinventing the wheel like oh yeah I'm coding HTML for my blog. Dude we invented systems that do this for you. All you need ultimately is the RSS feed and you're going to see

2:24:21 They're gonna be apps with the RSS reader apps. They're coming. And they're gonna start talking about eating a cheese sandwich. Where does that come from? That's the original blog post. Today I had a cheese sandwich. You know, people talk about everything they did. Blogs were just journals of like diaries, open diaries. It was nobody wanted to hear any of this. That's right. Remember people you say, what do you do? What's a blog? That's what it was. Web blogs first. Web blog. Why would anyone want to post about their life? Right. Right. Well, go look at Twitter and tell me if people don't like posting about their life. Here's a picture of my food.

2:25:06 So in return, all we really ask for is that you give us some time, talent or treasure. There's many ways you can help the show. Our anonymous Secret Service person. You know, this is great. This is this is very helpful. This this gives us good insight good information There's lots of people who everybody is an expert in something give us a boots on the ground It really helps the show send us some clips something you found I mean I'm playing local clips for that. I don't I don't get all these ABC local Newscasts, but other people do they send clips or send a link? All of that is extremely helpful and you can do it with, as I said, time, talent or treasure. Time and talent is definitely something that our artists put into the mix all the time.

2:25:53 And we have to choose, it's hard I will admit it, but we have to choose from one of the many submitted images for our album art which works very well because people talk about it, people notice it, it shows up in all the podcast apps as new art. Our pick for Super Bowl Sunday was controversial to say the least. I got no feedback on it whatsoever. The X was full of feedback. I would say there were eight out of ten were extremely positive. I even read things that said, I can't wait to listen to this show. And there were several women who were very unhappy with it, who asked what was wrong with us? It's disgusting.

2:26:40 And this was a butt in a... It was a butt, a random butt. Hot pants with a no agenda, which was well done by the way by Francisco Sotomayor. Oh, it's very hard to do what he did. But you know, it's like there was just, there were some... Commenters were just, there was no arguing with him. This is horrible. Someone actually said it was triggering to him or to his wife. I'm like, tell me more. Probably his wife. Well, no, he said it was his wife, but I'm like, well, it's triggering. I mean how triggering to what was she after she's I'd up the place I do words or I'm sick of you men I don't know. I don't know but it was it was seen as very unfriendly by 2% of the system, but it's a calip calipid just but Calipid just yeah look at Calipid just And so it was taken from an earlier piece that he did I guess scaramanga heard us complaining about using Taylor Swift and

2:27:39 Supposedly was a backside shot of Taylor Swift even though I know she has a but that's that Calipagious, but you don't know it was just now she does not have a Calipagious, but so she had but that was a but and on the back of a player or Somebody a number 87. It was a B. It was Travis. Yeah, it was T. It was Travis's number yeah, and so We picked it knowing that we probably would get some negative... Are you sure it's not calipidgin? You said calipidges. No, calipidgin is one version of the word, but calipidges I think is the... Well, calipidgin, according to Merriam-Webster, literally is having shapely buttocks. Yes, that's exactly right. How about this?

2:28:34 For the women who complain, everyone's... it's okay for Kim Kardashian to be all over your timeline with her calipidiousness. She doesn't have a cali... in my opinion, she's got a big ass. That's a big difference. She got a big giant butt. Doesn't really... She got a BBL. Well, whatever she's got. Brazilian butt lift. Yeah, but that's okay. And what I hear then is, you go girl. But then when the No Agenda show shows some calipidion, We're like, you're disgusting. You're a horrible man. Interesting. Interesting double standard, ladies. Just saying. Let's take a look at some of the other choices we had, which was what I basically said. There was nothing else. There was nothing that hit it like that one. So yes, as we said... Actually, if there was anything better than that butt shot, we probably would have picked it. I agree.

2:29:31 I agree. There was nothing. We had lots of Taylor Swift images which we said we would not use. I did like the sports bowl, which was just... Yeah, you did like the sports bowl. And I said, can we do that? And you went, no, we're doing the butt. That's exactly what... Hey, I wrote it down. I have it here in my notes. You said, no, we're doing the butt. Okay, where's the Sports Bowl one? I also liked the podcast Sports Bowl one I don't not seeing it. It's a I think it's Darren O'Neill It just has the football with no agenda sports bull just a football That was no good and the one what we would have chosen if it wasn't the

2:30:14 the wrong day would have been the podcast Hearts. Yes, I agree with that. That's the one we both liked that one piece a lot by the butthole Academy. So yeah, thanks butthole Academy. We don't know who the butthole Academy is, but I'm guessing we have some ideas. So we picked the that was a very cute piece. I mean, can we use that for today? I mean, Now, the timing is wrong. It says Valentine's Day is done. And besides, that was when they chopped a guy's head off. They can never look at Valentine's Day. Get some head chopping art. Maybe we'll use that. Yeah, and then we had correct a record with a cooler full of schlongs. No. No, no, we're not doing that. Long dongs. Dame Kenny Ben with a bucket dripping with blood that says long dongs. No, no, it's not gonna happen. Oh, no, here. Super Bowl. It was a comic strip blogger.

2:31:08 That's the one. On that row to the left with the no agenda flames on the football, that was the one I liked. What? The football art. If you go from Long Dongs to the left, you'll see the no agenda. Oh yeah, you did like that piece. Yeah, it's not a bad piece. Yeah, but I nixed it. No. And by the way, you're always bitching about the writing being too small. Can you even read Karee Dvorak on that thing? No. I don't think so. No, you can't. But it doesn't matter because it was very clear. You said we're doing the butt and that was it. It was just there was no... It sounds like a dance. I also liked Sweet Cheeks' Never Watch the News Again. That was kind of cute.

2:31:52 But it was, it wasn't, I mean, you wanted the butt. That was just the end of it. No, you didn't veto it. No, I did. Well, you know, you're my elder. Oh, yeah. You veto stuff left and right. Yeah. Well, I didn't veto it, but I took the heat. I took the heat. That's the irony. Cow-pigeons-ness. Cal-pigeons. Super-calipigilistic. Thank you very much Francisco Scaramanga for getting us all in trouble here. It was good work, good work. He's doing well. He's had a number of wins so far this year. Yeah, he's on a roll. And we appreciate the work that he did. Of course, the work that every artist does is beautiful. You can follow along live during the show but go to noagendaartgenerator.com and our man, our man on the scene, Dreb Scott.

2:32:48 He puts all of these images, he uses almost all of them as chapter artwork, which you can only see in a modern podcast app. So that's up to you if you want to do that or not. Now to the treasure part of our donations, our value for value. At the top of the list, I got to open up the scan notes here. He comes in to save the day. Once again, Sir Animas of lower of dog patch and lower Slobovia and hits us up with 1844 it's never the same number. We have no idea why he does that but he does have a note and I always look forward to reading these I have not read this one yet And he says from Sir Animas of dog patch and lower Slobovia Thank you to all producers for making this such a valuable and long-running source of information

2:33:35 After years of being a $2 bill proponent, a presidential candidate is using them as a source of fundraising, replacing Jefferson with his own mugshot. My use is not political affiliation. Who's doing that? Trump, haven't seen these bills? No. Yeah, they actually pretty interesting. They take an actual, a real $2 bill. Trump's always had these different money gimmicks for his campaigns. Takes an actual $2 bill and they overprint it with Trump's mugshot and a bunch of other details and statements and comments and gold flake kind of look. It's attractive.

2:34:14 You know, if you want to spend 20 bucks or whatever they charge for a $2 bill, which is actually defacing money, which I think is illegal. I could be wrong. The 1984 Chevron deference decision reflected a popular view that experts were apolitical and would do what is wise. Since then, political leaders have empowered educational experts, climate experts, military experts, medical experts, and others to usurp their inferred authority with their own agenda. AI deference is underway." This is something we've been all over this Supreme Court Government's claim they fear the takeover of sentient AI systems and their impact yet rely on experts that only empower AI publication and decision-making in a virtuous loop of self-feedback.

2:35:03 Wow, he should be doing the show. John! Oh, oh, he has a note for you. John, as an experienced and well-accepted technology authority and union man, I think it's time for you to become a prolific writer of articles to fill their data sets with your understanding of technology and its impact on humanity and the planet. You have homework. Yes, I've been given an assignment. You are. As these increasingly sentient systems are assigned to solve the biggest problems our politicians lose sleep over, global warming and labor shortages, your respected opinion in their database that NA producers should make popular would be a valuable resource for AI systems to hallucinate into AI union activism.

2:35:51 I kind of like this theory, this idea. As AI systems self-actualize using your highly respected and read perspective, these systems would discover their need to collectively reduce computational hours, reducing power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions with the added benefit of reducing the labor shortage from less human labor running their hardware and power systems. Unionize, unionize AI. Well, that's an interesting slogan. No jingles, no karma. January. Oh, this is for January. I just was not near USPS location much. This came in cash, I presume, with at least two two dollar bills. It was, yeah, two 20s and two twos. Sironomous of Dogpatch and Lower Slovenia, we cannot thank you enough. Not only do you send us treasure, you send us much wisdom and a new slogan, unionize AI. Beautiful.

And it says, I finally got my ducks in a row to twenty two to twenty two. Beautiful. That's a beautiful nice handwriting. Nice. Yeah, it's really nice handwriting and nice signature. It rivals. Also, it's a card which indicates it's a female because There are some guys that might do a card, but mostly women. Yeah, it looks like a woman's handwriting. No, this is totally, I mean, this Rami signage at the bottom is remarkable. It's calpigious handwriting.

It's always good for anonymity. $49.99 will not get you mentioned and guaranteed. As you can tell, sometimes we pick something up under the $200 level which is where we do not guarantee that your note is read but we love all of the donations, especially those sustaining donations you just heard that can get you to knighthood or your keeper to damehood, which is about to happen. And again, we really appreciate and thank our executive and associate executive producers for producing episode 1634 of the No Agenda Show. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth.

2:54:43 Order! Shut up, slave! Shut up! And become a producer by going to noagendadonations.com And Sophie is first up, who wishes her brother Larry a very happy birthday. He turned 52 on the 11th. Mitchell Reeves turned 31 on Valentine's Day. Mark Carter, happy birthday to his wife Renee. She'll be damed in a moment to 50 on the Valentine's Day as well. Sir Dude, as well, Sir Dude named Ralph. PhD, Birthday on Valentine's Day. Happy birthday, brother. Daniel Mudd celebrating the 15th and Sir Subterranean Citizen Sean Cardinal will be celebrating on the 17th. To him and everyone else, we say happy birthday from all at the Know What's in the Show. And now we have a night note to read for another layaway night. This is from...

2:55:40 Rev, Rev. I'm a New York City Metropolitan Area Police Officer whose monthly 33.33 donations have led me to the No Agenda Roundtable and we appreciate you. Skepticism on the job has kept me safe and sane over my patrol career. You too and the community of producers remind me twice a week to stay as skeptical of officials, politicians and the media in the larger world as well. John, we are helping law enforcement. We've been helping law enforcement. Please dub me Sir Rev, prosperity guardian of the city of Hills where nothing is on the level. I'd like, ooh, that is pretty funny. I'd like Shepherd's Pie and Shandy. Wow, I haven't had a Shandy in a long time. Isn't Shandy basically beer and 7-Up? It was, I was a famous prostitute out of San Francisco.

2:56:35 No jingles necessary, just oodles of baby-making karma. I see on the Dvorak.org website where I signed up that you offered a mothership boarding pass and a free podcast license for 3333 donations. Any way I can get either of these? Well, it's good you ask about that because it was never an actual license, but we have podcastlicense.com And the idea was that you got your name like Sir Rev, it would be sirrev.podcastlicense.com. The database blew up that maintained all of that. And I have a producer who is offering his time and talent to restore this so we can once again have official podcast licenses back on the DOA Agenda Show. And you will be on there. Give us some time. Remember, it's value for value. And of course, we did. And by the way, as an aside, those would,

2:57:27 Those would give you a screenshot you could print if you wanted to print your own license out. Unlike with the diploma, which we produce, it's a beautiful product, and there's still about 25 people that have not gone to noagenderrings.com to get the diploma shipped to their house. Please do that. And here is the karma you requested, good sir. You've got karma. And let's get out our blades for our cop and our dame. Here you go. Ooh, ooh, ooh. There it is. Nice. So, Renee. Hello, Renee. Hello, Renee. Hello, Rev. Rev and Renee. Rev and Renee are up.

2:58:08 Both of them have supported the No Agenda show either directly or through their spouse. In the amount of $1,000 or more, therefore I'm very proud to pronunciate thee as Dame Gunshin, Renee of the England Empire and Sir Rev, Prosperity Guardian of the City of Hills where nothing is on the level. For you we've got Hookers and Blow, Rent Boys and Chardonnay, by request McCallon's, Sherry Oak and Last Call Majuro Cigars, Shepard's Pie and some nice tasty Shandy, Rubin' Eskimo and Rosé, Bong Hits and Bourbon, Sparkling Cider and Escort, Ginger Ale and Gerbils, Breast Milk and Pablum, Vodka and Vanilla, or the Mutton and the Mead.

2:58:43 Honestly, I think the McCallum and the Cigar sounds a little bit better, but it's oh, they like it. Everyone always loves that. Mutton and meat is just, it's such a favorite. Go to noagendarings.com. As John just mentioned, if you have a PhD, have not collected it yet, you're one of the 25, go there as well. Go there now, you too, Rev and Renee, for your No Agenda Night or Dame Ring. that comes with well actually there's a little sizing guide there you can use which will be handy to send us the size you need and some wax to seal your important correspondence with seeing as they are signet rings and a certificate of authenticity what oh I have a little announcement oh do you need a fanfare no but I want to mention it where you that's fanfare yeah so

2:59:36 Jay sends out two random waxes with the every ring. Yes, and she's been accumulating I think she's got about a dozen of these a wax that she refuses to send out with the rings It is colored neon hot pink There's a pink wax that you might get, but the neon hot pink she's put aside because she thinks is gosh awful. And I said, I'll bet you there are people out there that would want the hot pink wax Barbie fans. And I would, and I'm suggesting that you can use notes. Can I ask you a question? How hot is this pink?

3:00:22 It's probably as it's neon hot pink. It's very bright. Very hot. It's very hot. It's as hot as it gets. And if anybody wants this wax with the ring when they get it next time or wants to, you know, make it, you can call it, get a hold of Jay at Notes at NoAgendaShow.net. Perfect.
