I would go under on that the number of non-facts as per WAPO fact checker blog over under 11 and a half this is this is a dubious bet, I'd go way under on that but here's here's the interesting ones for Biden will any of these happen direct mention if Trump odds are two to one

01:28 To misname a foreign leader or country, the odds are 3 to 1. To say senile or dementia, three-to-one I don't believe that. No no, I would bet against that he's not gonna... but would you say that? Of course well I'm just hey I don't know A.) I'm not betting B.)I don't make them up. To directly admit it. I don't know where do even make these bets Oh um I've got the link yeah there's a real bets at a real betting place. No I'm sure they're real bets i just don't know where you'd make them Online. You can do them online to directly mention Obama 4-1, to have a 5 second brain freeze!

These kind of prop bets are no good because they're easily... They can be rigged. And if I was somebody working as Jean-Pierre or Claude Van Damme and I was looking like I have this speech in front of me, I would be calling my bookie! And then telling Biden, make sure you don't blow this one up. So just this morning the most cringe thing I could have imagined our president did he did a Zoom call it's on it's on the X with former presidents in the movies oh yeah yeah this is unbelievable He had on Morgan Freeman

04:08 Tony Goldwyn, Gina Davis who also played President in the movie Michael Douglas and Bill Pullman who did Independence Day. You want to hear some of that? I have a... Yeah! Okay, sure. I never spoke to so many presidents all at one time Some of you might know what a big speech like I have to do is coming up the State of the Union Any advice you have for me in my delivering my speech Well sir In my capacity as president All I had to deal with was a meteor One of the things that uh This is Morgan Freeman for those who can't understand Ah, I think so What's that? My speech too to

It goes dead. I have no idea I have to look it go look him up to see what he looks like they even know who he is We can find Gina Davis here And also when I do that with ice cream. Do that with ice cream, I highly encourage it. I know from experience obviously what a tough job it is and you know when I was President, it seemed like every week there were some new crisis that I had to face You did a hell of a job! Thank you It's so pathetic

05:52 It's really, let's just skip to the end. There is nothing that we can't do when we do it together This is Pullman Those are good ones Best wishes to you sir There was nothing beyond our capacity I believe that Hey come see me at the White House We are in the United States of America I'd love to meet y'all person Thank You Thank you very much I never spoke to so many presidents all at one time. Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right. Thank you, thank you, thank you. See ya. Thank you. Sad just sad. It's sad. I mean we used to be cool America used to be cool

06:38 No longer. This is sad, this is not good That is totally pathetic And uh... the uh- But I'm sure that the left you know the Bill Maher's of the world are all thinking that it's fabulous Ha ha! Did you see that? That was awesome! I have it! That was awesome! No no you don't He didn't actually say that did he Bill Maher It's awesome! It's awesome! No no I have his complete screw up Oh okay alright let's do a Bill Maher what do ya got Well, where is this from his show or from his podcast from a show? Mm-hmm. It's from a show live and he Actually set it up with the let's set it up with Jack probe probe reactions I do whatever seems to be like perceived perceive He's on he's at CPAC and he's just standing out there trying to be funny And he says this is the CPAC. This is the clip CPAC Joe jack. I gotcha

07:35 Welcome, welcome. I just wanted to say welcome to the end of democracy We're here to overthrow it completely we didn't get all the way there on January 6th But we will endeavor And replace it with this right here who will replace it with this right here amen You know Jack should not be doing that schtick No. Well, he's not a comic. But what's interesting is they... Is Maher took it seriously to such an extreme that it's unbelievable This is a professional comedian and listen to this Bill Maher on the end of Democracy One CPAC do you know what that is? That is the conservative... What is it unfortunately? Political Action Committee Okay It's their big convention every year

08:26 It's like corporations have a big convention, they have their big convention. I made jokes about it every year for...I can't remember the last time we did it. It goes way back! I remember once calling it the Woodstock for the mentally impaired. But in years past, it was like the most conservative commentators and senators and governors Okay, this year there's a guy I've heard this name. I don't know who he is Jack pro Sobic He's doing sort of like a roundtable Discussion you know it's a convention they have these things This is a quote welcome to the end of democracy we are here to overthrow it Oh so he didn't actually see it his writers just wrote this for him And he's too lazy to actually look at the clip died that Marty feeling what's happening here completely We didn't get all the way there on January 6th

09:20 But we will endeavor to get rid of it. Am I missing an irony here? Yes, is dumbing. I'm a missing a joke or isn't as seems now they are saying the out quite hard out loud flub Yeah that they are not this is see but this is their big This is Republican conservative there big convention and you have a guy like this in the crowd is loving it Welcome to the end of democracy. We're here to overthrow it January 6 was good now we're gonna finish the job It's scary It's the biggest convention in the world so they have this woman This is more pathetic I think than then

10:04 than what you played. And by the way, it wasn't ironic it was sarcastic but we can quibble about that later so he has this woman on who's a lefty who end up going on I have a clip of her later. What's her name? It's her name is Batya something Sargash Oh isn't she from the Newsweek opinion editor Yes she's the Newsweek Opinion Woman So she's on the show and she's dying knowing that this is nonsense. Well, the guy sitting next to her is going Oh so scary it's scary who was the guy sitting next to her I know I don't have his name but you can look him up But the but yeah is pretty good. I've seen her before very good And I have a clip after this clip Okay, but let's do this is Bill Maher The End of Democracy 2 try She tries to explain to him that as a joke oh goodness and Mara is like really like well? I'm not sure

10:57 His thoughts, it's scary. Can't take that? Bill that was a joke about Trump making a joke about being a dictator day one in office That is an ironic take on how the liberal media sees conservatives I think so yes its a joke Really? Yeah and more to the point To you Bill Keep your day job Jack With a quip, lousy quip. This is just poor showmanship and poor television-manship and he should be ashamed of himself for just blatantly walking into the studio ready to go what am I what are my jokes he's not easy he's phoning it in is what he's doing

11:46 Because it wasn't a panel probe, probe whatever his name is standing there trying to kill time. So had nothing to do with anything and meanwhile Mar yeah you're right he phoned it in here's baddie as she shows up on Banyan show Oh the war room oh okay To talk about this Wait a minute this this is now a topic of discussion? Yeah, what goodness Mars screw-up is the topic. Oh wow I'm glad we have time on our hands and we do about being on there well I'm very very grateful to bill for having me because even though I am on the left I can't get onto liberal shows because It's kind of like that scene in Monty Python where they're like hey We want to join you and they were like well how much do you hate the Romans? And he goes a lot

12:36 And they're like right you're in it's the same thing with Trump if you don't hate Trump They will not let you on even if you want to tell them hey Here's how the Democrats could get the working-class back. They don't want to hear it So that was the point well, and that's good I mean she has to be a hater yes Yes to get into these gigs and she's like irked because she doesn't get booked on anything. And she's very personable, she's quite funny, she goes on and about a bunch of things I could have played more clips of her Yeah! Because she is good but... She is worried about the Democrats being out to lunch. I had a supercut somewhere let me see what it was this? Let me just see if it was, I think it was Supercut, Supercut, Supercut

13:27 Hmm, I'll find it. But the hate is strong It's really it's really it's quite it's quite insane I have I have MSNBC from Super Tuesday and a couple of clips if you want to laugh Yeah, yeah, I was gonna get these these are funny Here's Rachel Maddow remarks have just started for former President Donald Trump Let's let's listen in nobody thought a thing like this would be possible We wouldn't have Russia Attack in Ukraine, we wouldn't have Israel being attacked. Iran as you know was broke when I was running things they were broke They didn't have money for Hamas that didn't have money for Hezbollah We had no inflation Inflation is destroying the middle class it's destroying everything inflation if you look back over the history hundreds of years back It's called inflation it's called a country buster

14:25 And that's what it is doing to our country. What has happened with inflation has been unbelievable, a lot of people say and experts have said the stock market is the only thing that is doing well because our poll numbers are so much higher than... Okay, yeah. So I'll just do a couple of quick Trump clips and then we'll have Matto come back in because of course he has to interrupt here He is on the border We had the safest border the best numbers we've ever had and now we have the worst numbers probably Probably in the history of the world It's sad to see what's happening to our cities our cities are being overrun with migrant crime And that's Biden migrant crime

15:08 But it's a new category of crime and it is violent. It's a new category, Biden migrant crime. Where they stand in the middle of the street and have fist fights with police officers And if they did that in their countries from where they came They'd be killed instantly Instantly On the spot They wouldn't do that So the world is laughing at us The world has taken advantage of us Well, no the world is not laughing. The world has the exact same problems here he is on our energy independence three years ago We were at a level who are in energy independent we're going to be very shortly energy dominant and today we're getting oil from Venezuela Can you believe it? And we're doing numbers on that all you know what we do. We're refining the oil

15:53 We have our refinery for that oil. It's really, I call it tar. It's not oil. It's terrible. We have real stuff." Wait a minute is he saying we're refining the Venezuelan oil which is tar? That's what he said Is that true? You know a lot about this stuff. The Venezuelan crude...I'm not sure. Is it really thick tar? Well, it would be a heavy style that heavy crude as possible. I don't know I'd have to look it up Let's go now This is where this is where just starts to irk Rachel because now he's talking about a fair and free press We need a fair and free press the press has not been fair nor has it been free But maybe someday they will be there being beaten up pretty badly people aren't trusting them They're not believing them

16:38 And really it's a very important factor. The press used to be the policemen, it used to police our country now nobody has confidence in them and we have to get that confidence back It is so important for the success of our country. So important. Yes, all right here we go read an article yesterday where it said this is one of the finest run campaigns that anybody has ever seen. That's pretty good. Right? Rachel get in there. You know it's It is, okay. I will say that it is a decision that we revisit constantly in terms of the balance between allowing somebody to knowingly lie on your air about things they've lied about before and you can predict they're going to lie about and so therefore it's irresponsible to allow them to do that. What? Irresponsible! It's a balance between knowing that that's irresponsible to broadcast

17:43 And also knowing that as the de facto, soon to be de facto nominee of the Republican Party this is not only the man who is likely to be the Republican candidate for president but this is the way he's running. So then sitting on the panel... But wait! Yes? Did she say specifically what was the lies? He just generalizing Well because now we go over to the panelists next to her The favorite of the trading floor boys over there at Goldman Sachs, Stephanie Ruhle. She didn't go to J school uh-huh uh-huh no she was a trader and then she rose through the ranks

18:21 at Goldman economic recovery of any country in the developed world. He's telling an audience right there, oh my goodness that the paltry oil production we're producing more oil today than we ever have in history of our country think about the American rescue plan, the infrastructure plan. We've created more jobs 3.2 million more jobs than we had pre pandemic. The problem that we do have

19:04 What is inflation? And so what Donald Trump does is prey upon the fact that people don't necessarily feel good and life's expensive. Oh, the horrors! He plays on the fact that people don't feel good and life's expensive but everything else is great! It's great! Did he say we don't have high oil production? I mean what was the lies? Well, I mean you're all he said. All the only positive the only factual thing that he referred to was a high inflation and people don't feel good about things. So where's the fact check? You gotta fact check him in with that's the whole problem is like it's he saying things that are hitting home turn him off. That's it. It's so obvious. I think it's obvious to most people

19:53 Let's go back to the... Before we continue, there are a couple of other things along this line I want to say at least discuss. So I got an article and sent it to you to put in the show notes. It is written by a writer in UK called Andrew Orlowski who wrote for The Spike. He writes for The Telegraph. And he goes on about how BBC and these people in Europe especially England pre-excusing Trump's victory. Yes, yes exactly. They're coming up with... it's like pre crime yeah and it's gonna be all about misinformation and disinformation and they're gonna go on and on about it and he cited in example which are these photos I guess? I have not seen him until I read his article of

20:46 Trump with black people that have been all Art of AI pictures. Yes, I have a clip here home on have you seen these but yeah Yeah, well this is this is part of the I think it's part of the Swift op because they're also now saying that Russia Here let me get the article for you Putin plans, let me see who wrote this? New York Post. Okay. Putin plans to weaponize deepfake porn against Western democracy's female leaders. Huh? Swift op! You already brought in swift and then you say female leader so I'm already chuckling Yeah so here is the

21:33 Here's the girl from The Young Turks who is reading this- Anna. Yes, reading this BBC article. AI generated images depicting Donald Trump with excited black supporters are spreading across the internet like wildfire according to a new BBC investigation now since they're AI images obviously they're not real They're not authentic They're not depicting something that actually happened And if you're tempted to believe that Russia or some other nefarious foreign actor is behind the misleading images, the BBC looked into that and found that American Trump supporters are actually the ones behind the dishonest AI images that are spreading. That's your off message girl

22:19 Putin! Putin! Yeah, wait a minute. She starts off in one direction... Putin. And then she drifts over to the south. Wrong. Can't they keep their focus? No no no ever since Chunk just went complete nut job that it's a rudderless ship over there Now, of course we have more insane stuff such as the Supreme Court's decision. It was not even unanimous it was the court decision our constitutional lawyer deconstructed for us so that's nine to zero no dissent

23:01 that Colorado has, or any state has no right to take the president off of the ballot. They were very careful by the way in what they said because... here it is They did not decide whether Trump of course actually engaged in insurrection. They took a quick little off-ramp, simple one and they said hey states lack the power to use Article 3 against federal office holders that's really the whole thing And of course it was hilarious to see that the document that was sent out, I guess it was a Word document where they had tracked changes and they forgot to remove those. So everyone had their panties in a bunch. That has been done on purpose? Most definitely because it was so... Most definitely! Not just so exactly so is what I would say

23:58 It was Sotomayor who appeared to have written a dissenting opinion in the document, but that was then tracked changes turned it into what do you call it? A curare I think is the term. Let me see...it's the court yes per curium there you go hey I speak Latin per curium I.e., the whole court decides and there was no dissent, but I agree with you. You know, a little virtue signal by Sotomayor or someone whoever. Whoever's doing that stuff but here's Joy Reid always fun to listen to her opinion on stuff I do have to go to you first Melissa because i'm sorry but I don't speak Supreme Court-ese But all I read was shade Shade and more shade from your former boss Justice Sotomayor and her colleagues They opened in their what felt like more of a dissent honestly than a concurrence

25:01 In which they said, y'all did too much. You just had to say states can't enforce section three and leave it there but you had to keep going. You felt like you had to tell people how to enforce section three. You felt like you had to instruct Congress. Did you read that as shade as I did? I think it was shade all the way down joy an more than that. I think this was nominally a concurrence but it had real big D energy big dissent energy. Big D! Oh my God! All right, I'm giving you clip of the day for catching that. Oh man! Big D energy. Wow what an asshole 26 minutes into the show we have clip of the day ladies and gentlemen it doesn't get any crazier i mean i didn't even clip Mika this morning oh man or Joe who says this is the most cogent Biden ever? I mean these people are going nuts

25:57 Well, I do have a 3x3 about this since you brought it up. And now it's time for 3 by 3! Experiment by JCD! A 3 x 3 comparing stories from ABC CBS and NBC It's not just an experiment, we actually delved in. JCD gets you clips and we check out the big news stories from the three trustworthy news networks Yeah there is not as much of the craziness that you just heard that you got a clip for today so let's start with ABC Tonight for the first time after months of missile attacks on cargo ships The Iranian backed Houthis have left I'm sorry

26:37 That's the wrong ABC clip. This is your ABC clip! The court did not address the issue of whether Trump actually engaged in insurrection, but declared that the responsibility for enforcing that section of the Constitution rests with Congress and not the states. They worked long they worked hard and frankly they work very quickly on something that will... Long hard but quickly!

27:17 He's spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now, extremely important. That's right. Courts in three states Colorado Maine and Illinois have ruled that Trump should be banned from the ballot because of his actions on January 6th than in the weeks before under the 14th Amendment command that no one who has taken a note to support the Constitution and then engaged in insurrection can hold public office afterwards During oral arguments last month, liberals and conservatives on the court voiced sharp skepticism of what Colorado did. Whoa! What's going on over there at ABC? Sharp skepticism! Engaged in insurrection can hold public office afterwards

27:56 During oral arguments last month, liberals and conservatives on the court voiced sharp skepticism of what Colorado did. I think that the question you have to confront is why a single state should decide who gets to be president of the United States? Today, the justices pointed to the potential disruption that could happen if some states disqualified Trump and some did not all using different standards and procedures To disqualify insurrectionist candidates, the court ruled Congress must first pass a law spelling out how. Justice Amy Coney Barrett also wrote separately, agreeing with the liberals that the majority went too far but urging her colleagues to turn the national temperature down not up our differences are far less important than our unanimity Barrett wrote all nine justices agree on the outcome of this case that is the message all Americans should take home except for the puking that was reasonably on point yeah I think so

28:53 didn't have some of the Dana Bash on, I guess it was MSNBC when she goes on. It's a sad day for America that they did the right thing. Well did you see Keith Olbermann unfortunately as far as... Oh no he went off the rails! But he didn't do any video so we can't even do video himself He spits too much on them The lens gets all spitty So, let's go to NBC. Tonight the US Supreme Court dealing a final blow to states trying to ban former President Trump from the ballot in a unanimous decision The justices effectively leaving it up to voters to decide if the former president returns White House Mr.. Trump praising today's ruling the voters can take the person out of there is very quickly and

29:43 But a court shouldn't be doing that. The justice is rejecting a Colorado State Court's ruling finding Mr Trump ineligible to be president under section 3 of the 14th Amendment, A largely untested clause of the Constitution passed after the Civil War Isn't it a completely untested clause? Has it ever been tested I don't know. Disqualifying those who engage in insurrection from holding public office again. An elections official in Maine and a judge in Illinois later doing the same, banning the Republican frontrunner from the ballot in those states in light of his actions on January 6th Today's ruling from the high court now ending all similar efforts to disqualify Mr Trump from the ballot Well most states were thrilled to have me

30:33 There were some that didn't and they didn't want that for political reasons. The justices today saying that patchwork of different rulings across the country cannot stand, finding responsibility for enforcing Section 3 against federal office holders and candidates rests with Congress and not the states I've got to say boring read But at the same time, the three liberal justices accusing their conservative colleagues of going too far. Too far! By ruling Congress must enact new legislation in order to ban a presidential candidate Why is that too far? I don't understand, I mean that's...

31:09 Why is that too far? Why does it too far to have Congress do that I mean isn't that exactly what the Supreme Court said why is that going too far. I don't get it. It's confusing, the way she presented it. This ruling will make it harder to bar an oath-breaking insurrectionist from becoming president. You forgot rapists! Conservative Justice Barrett cautioning this court should turn the national temperature down not up Thank you Barret Alright, boring. Boring read NBC in trouble as far as I'm concerned that's not... NBC has got yeah... That's factual and it is boring. That was pretty bad yes that was a bad report How does CBS do now that the Pixie Girls no longer there?

31:53 I don't know. Let's see a crucial decision today with sweeping political consequences We behind court ruling that former president Donald Trump goodness cannot be removed from Colorado's ballot Due to the state courts view that he stoked the January 6 insurrection You cannot take somebody out of a race the voters can take the person out of the race very quickly and But a court shouldn't be doing that with this ruling to other states also had their efforts to remove the former president stall Three justices in a separate concurring opinion said allowing the Colorado measure to go forward would, we agree create a chaotic state by state patchwork. Amid a tense political landscape Justice Amy Coney Barrett also urged Americans to see unity from the unanimous decision. So hold hands! Writing in this circumstance writings on the court should turn the national temperature down not up

32:52 Colorado's Democratic Secretary of State offered sharp criticism of the decision. I do believe that states should be able under our... This woman, did you see her eyes? Oh she is a psycho! ...vision. I do believe that states should be able under our Constitution to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists. The ruling comes a day before... This is now the meme, oath breaking insurrectionist. Ooh I like oath breaking. Oath breaking. She forgot rapist to bar oath-breaking insurrectionists. The ruling comes a day before Super Tuesday, the biggest primary election day of the season when voters in 15 states including Colorado head to the polls and Trump's legal hurdles continue to pile up as the Supreme Court weighs another decision next month I hope that the justices because they'll be working on some other cases but one in particular

33:46 Presidents have to be given total immunity. They have to be allowed to do their job." Later this month, Trump will also spend six weeks in court where he is charged with falsifying business records related to hush money payments to a porn star Oh god. Okay, since that was so boring and then not your fault. Not your fault yeah? The little point in there that CBS is they teed the ball up for the next round of course which is the immunity case. Of course! Which the other two networks did not do And Dershowitz, who comes on every show he can get on and the Right Wing shows now almost exclusively. In fact, exclusively has said I... He comes out and he spikes it. I don't have these clips. He spikes the ball, said I predicted nine to nothing. With this new podcast, he's getting carried. Becoming a personality. The Dersh cast? The Dersh Show. So he spikes the ball

34:48 And then he says, and then I believe that it will be a 63 on the next one. Which i think he's right because they're gonna... Because these liberal judges have felt that they're getting flack. Why didn't you do anything? You know, they don't... They get pushed around a lot and so they're gonna probably go against the immunity thing which is again- Is stupid! It's stupid because immediately everyone goes to jail Everybody goes to jail. Yeah, and I would say if they better start thinking about it somebody's gonna have to start bringing this up besides me which Obama yeah there we go

35:24 is the guy who's killed four Americans, uh extrajudicial murder of four different Americans. Uh he would be- he should go to jail! He should definitely go to jail and there are other examples that people use but no one wants to bring up this Obama one. And if you're not down with that we got two words for ya! Predator drones. I don't know where that came from Okay, there was let's just do some elections. I know you have a report it was super Tuesday in the United States where everybody goes and votes for local elections and and some primary stuff but

36:10 We had some fun, there was fun. Certainly in North Carolina. The North Carolina race for the governor's mansion is going to be among the most competitive and now CNN is projecting that the Republican candidate in that race is going to be Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson A favorite among evangelicals becoming the first black gubernatorial nominee in North Carolina Those who want to go into the mud feel free Where we're going is we're going towards the substantive issues at all North Carolinians face this guy. Did you see this guy? Oh, I've been watching this guy for a month here. I got a super cut short. He's got some great material Mentally not women led by men when it was time to face down Goliath said David

37:03 Not the Vito about transgenderism, homosexuality any of that filth and yes I called it filth. We could pass a bill saying you can't have an abortion in North Carolina for any reason he says the civil rights movement in the 1960s was quote crap and that Martin Luther King was a communist Robinson posted the movie Black Panther was quote created by an agnostic Jew to pull the shekels out of your sports pocket using the Yiddish words for money and black. He referred to the victims of the Parkland school shooting as spoiled little bastards. He says, The moon landing in 1969 may have been fake. He also says there is a secret ruling cabal that is part reptile and said that Beyonce is satanic.

37:54 Long-legged magnetic! Yeah. Well, they left out of that cut... They left out the funniest bit he goes into a reparations... Oh I don't have that one. The reparations thing he says blacks should be paying reparations to whites and his rationale is really interesting oh man well i'm doing a show with Mo next week maybe we can get into it i'd love to hear his take on that But you've got to be a big fan of the guy. Oh, this is fantastic! Of course. Because of the moon landing just for that? Just for the moon landing alone I came for the moon landing and stayed for the two agendas You bet

38:36 Meanwhile, Rolling Stone trying to amp it up a bit to coin the phrase. Headline exclusive Trump's White House was awash in speed and Xanax! Under Trump the White House medical unit was like The Wild West and staffers had easy access to powerful stimulants and sedatives sources tell Rolling Stone You know what? I think all of Washington DC has access to powerful stimulants and sedatives. They're all on drugs! Yeah, of course they are! All of them! All of them! I don't get the point of this Rolling Stone piece

39:19 Well, are they trying to make it a lesson to blow about Hunter? No. Do we know Joe gets shot up just before his speeches? That's what it is! This will be interesting today... Yeah but you're saying being yourself Exactly because the Joe's gonna get all jacked-up tonight Man well if its the real Joe We don't even know if he's the real Joe Uh, more politics here. Big Mike says no way Jose! Former first lady Michelle Obama once again shutting down speculation about whether she would jump into the race for president if needed The former first lady making it clear as she has before She supports President Biden and Vice President Harris And will not be running for president Her spokesperson says she's expected to act as a campaign surrogate For President Biden and Vice President Harris Yeah man I tried to register bigmike2028.com and that was already taken

40:17 So I feel gypped. Probably by one of our producers, no doubt! No doubt... so i'll tell you my experience here. Voting? Because you do have the Nikki Haley quitting clip which is part of Super Tuesday and then I still have my discussion Voted on a Dominion machine. Yeah, well let's do your Nikki Haley quits poorly and then I have two quick Nikki Haley crowd Responses as Nikki Haley drops out without endorsing former President Trump both Trump and Biden are now courting Haley's voters Trump has also challenged by it into a debate anytime and anywhere entities White House correspondent Iris Tao has more

41:05 Both Trump and Biden are now directly asking Nikki Haley supporters to join their camps, though their messaging is quite different. Trump while saying that Biden's the enemy and that he's inviting all Nikki Haley supporters to join the MAGA movement also criticized Nikki Haley saying she trounced on Super Tuesday and then a lot of her supporters and donors were actually Democrats President Biden, meanwhile, praised Nikki Haley in a Wednesday statement saying she was willing to speak the truth about Donald Trump adding that Nikki Haley's supporters have a place in his campaign Meanwhile both Trump and Biden's appeal came after Nikki Haley on Wednesday morning dropped out of the race congratulated Trump but stopped short of actually endorsing him Here is what Nikki Haley was saying. Watch

41:49 Watch. Now we know what it really means, but just in case. Just in case he gets convicted and then she can pop back up I have two crowd responses one from Fox and one from NBC here's Fox NBC has just reported that Michelle Obama said she will not run for president Thank God

42:25 Yes. Ainsley said, I would love the reaction from a woman in the crowd and then... I wouldn't vote for a woman and especially you know Nikki Haley i'm just gonna say this she's probably menopausal we don't need that How about we vote for people regardless of their gender, just the right person for the job for America? Hello! She's probably menopausal. We don't need that. Mmkay... Here's NBC What do you think of Nikki Haley? Did you ever consider her? Um.. You know What I got to say, you don't really want to put it on... Let me hear it! Well a woman's not going to be good president. She ain't have no balls to scratch she just gonna scratch her head all the women are good for in my book is having babies and taking care of the house but that's that's the old thing ya know? But I'm always cool So you never even considered her? No Mainly because she's a woman Because she's female

43:21 I mean females don't tell me wrong females know what they're doing, but they still gotta have a little bit of guidance This is the classic big networks let's find a guy with a southern accent that's beautiful and Maybe even give him a script to read as long as he talks like this and sounds real stupid. He's good, he's good, oh I have a mashup of her dropping out of the race on ABC The View! The time has now come to suspend my campaign. I said i wanted Americans to have their voices heard...I have done that

43:59 I have no regrets. In all likelihood, Donald Trump will be the Republican nominee when our party convention meets in July. I congratulate him and wish him well. It is now up to Donald Trump to earn the votes of those in our party and beyond it who did not support him. And I hope he does that. Sorry didn't mean to bum everybody out Okay, all right. So I'll tell you my experience we didn't we Gillespie County is a hand vote county Yeah And it was here right around the corner from us at this little place called I think the knitting factory where people buy yarn and they had some classic cars outside and believe it or not We also had a sheriff election here and has now turned into a runoff

44:47 And Chris Ayala is one of the candidates. And Laura Logan's husband was in one of those long tube costumes, you know like the ones that car dealers have that flop up and down with air in it? The big giant thing with got a blower at the bottom. Yeah! He was in it with his head popping out for Chris Ayala as sheriff. Was that electioneering? Was that anywhere near the voting site? It's 150 feet, I think away from it so he was on the street yeah and there were people in lawn chairs and that's why they had classic cars ones for this one for that um...and it was very low-key what was fascinating

45:35 was there were all these propositions, which are not proposite. You know it's just advice It's not like you're actually voting on something, but it was cool stuff. Like should Texas abolish all real estate tax without increasing any other tax? Like yep yeah I'll cross that box! How did that get onto ballot? Should we arrest all illegal immigrants? Oh well cross that one off so it was pretty good and uh...it took until Wednesday morning for the votes to be counted in Gillespie County as it was as it was hand count, but at least everyone felt like their votes were counted And so it was a it was a nice wholesome old-school Voting experience and you in California. Where was being held? What was that at school or the Some I was near the library now okay There's an office there's a room off there is a community rec room or something hmm, and there was you know You go there's nobody there. I mean this may be

46:38 I mean, it went at two in the afternoon so there wasn't going to be a lot of people. And they go through this process and this and that and they never asked for voter ID did they ask for a voter ID? Yeah well yeah of course we have to show our driver's license absolutely no not here Wow zero? Zero. Put your address in here is you flip it over and they got this little computer little laptop like a tablet computer, they keep flipping it over and he's writing on something then he flips it over and you can look at it if the screen flips over. And what was on the screen? It was like is this you and had your name and address so you had to check a box yes this is me and then you have to sign it

47:23 But you signed it with a, I don't know if people have noticed this but at the grocery store nowadays they always want you to sign on the little screen. Was there was their little button to tip 20% or 25%. So that if you notice that we go to the grocery store and you would have this signed you can put an X. Oh you can do whatever you want. You could just scribble. Yeah no one cares. Signature accepted it always says no matter what you do same with this Because there was a little section there and they give you a rubber pen, and I tried signing my name. It was just a couple of globs there. Since we've been doing this show so long do you remember when we had the report that some guy got busted because he was signing it by drawing penises?

48:07 I don't remember that, but okay. That's what it kind of looked like so I signed and there was just nothing as terrible because I didn't put the right pressure on or something the person next to me they had there was two of these and she signed in there's just a big flourishing signature over the screen I didn't realize it whole screen was hot but okay said then didn't matter and the guy says you want to go to the paper ballot? Or do you want to go to the machine he says the machine is really cool Oh, he was prompting nudging you nudging you towards the machine. Well I was gonna go for the machine anyway but yes He did kind of but it was it was like You know is faster we mentioned so I go to the machine and it's a machine It with a big screen. It's very nice. I have to say because they've had my screens in the past No that it said at the bottom Dominion systems. I said ah great I get to use I get to first-hand experience

49:03 So I go in and it's a gorgeous screen, very slick. And so you're supposed to vote... In California they have state the US Senator is gonna be Adam Schiff versus Steve Garvey versus Katie Porter of the big three and then there's like 50 other people on the ballot! So I'm looking, I swear that I went through that whole screen looking for Steve Garvey's name because I'm voting for him And I'm not voting for Adam Schiff. When I went in, or should mention that when I go in, I am an independent non-affiliated so I get the choice of three different ballots. I get an independent ballot and some other ballot peace and freedom or something and Democrat. So I pick Democrat. The Republicans do not allow this if you want to vote on the Republican primary you have to be registered. Can I just stop you for a second?

49:55 So we went and they said there's only one ballot. I said, what do you mean? Well it was only Republican ballot. I said but independent... No there is only one ballot if you want to vote Democrat If you want to vote in the Democrat ballot, you have to go to San Antonio. What? Yeah this is weird! This is weird... Well that's a bit much. I thought- So they gave me the choice- I'm not registered. They gave me the choice. I've gone through this before so always picked the Democrat ballot and think it's funny. So I go in there and voted for Steve Garvey but I'm telling you the first time went through the list I could not find his name. I went through the list second time I could not find his name

50:33 The third time I went through the list, you scroll up and down. That's how big this list is in there. Oh, there he is now. Do you? So I don't know if it was even on with a wheel or touch screen or touch screen touch screen. Yeah. So you flip it up and down. And so I finally found him and there he was. I voted that he had to vote twice for Steve Garvey because of there is a replacement senator that's going to be in for a couple months and there's the six year one And so then the only, and then so I voted here and there. And I voted for Dean Phillips for president instead of Biden or whatever the guy's name was. Who is Dean Phillips? Dean Phillips who wasn't, I think it's Dean Phillips somebody can correct me if I'm wrong but some dean, some congressman running against Biden. So then we went to the propositions of course that I vote no on everything that involves money except prop one because prop one is our... Was promoted by everybody starting with Newsom

51:29 It's re-est... This is a rich one. I voted yes reestablishes the mental health institutions in California. Yes, absolutely! That were closed by Reagan And at the table you know the dining room table and every place else it's like...and they promote this idea Ronald Reagan shut down the mental health facilities in California when he was governor That was a proposition at the time wasn't it? Wasn't everyone- No, Reagan just shut him down Because everyone is bugging him about it Yeah, the Democrats. They wanted it shut down exactly. The Democrat I was here that's a whole time and I watched the whole procedure and it was one flew over the cuckoo's nest without everything in between juicy and it was the Democrats talking about getting rid of the you know Reagan didn't care get rid of these these places get him shut them all down they're terrible beginning of this problem in America exactly yeah that's true that's true and so

52:29 So now they're blaming the whole thing on Reagan and we have to reestablish it. It's just too funny! That's great. Anyway, so then I... When you do the Dominion date it's got a little HP printer next to it and after your votes are done they go through a lot of process You gotta confirm this and confirm that And you've gotta look at over twice Then you push a button and the printer eats it The printer coughs out a printout of your votes with a barcode on it and it says who you voted for. It's got all the votes on there, and then you take that and shove in a slot. And then the egg goes vroop! And the slots slurps it up?

53:09 No, the slot is a slot. This is the box. Oh there's nothing slurping it last time I went there was a slurp up device Yeah, the slurper no this went into just a box and then I guess they pack them up and then Slurp him into a device that never reads the barcodes with the barcode supposedly has all the data now I would like to have brought my camera didn't I didn't see any reason. You can't use your camera in the polling Who says? Oh, there's signs everywhere no phone No sign that I saw That was California So I could have printed out that printout and taken a picture of it And taking a picture on my screen...I could've done a lot of photos Yeah I didn't do that But if its done fairly its a nice product

53:58 The Dominion. And what do you think? What do you think? Well, I don't know! I have no idea. California's... most of the votes are now mail-in which is real corruptible so i have no idea if it's how they're doing it Did you get an I Voted sticker? Two, I took two of them. And did you wear one? So I put two of them on so anyone who asks they say I voted twice Great gag! So I had my I Voted sticker and I had a chess game at Java Ranch here in town. I played chess with this guy on Tuesday's and so the young kids behind the bar, the baristas were like hey Adam

54:37 Is there an election today? I'm like, are you kidding me?" And then after that I was walking through HEB and some guy stops me. He's like, hey is there voting today? Like yes it's Super Tuesday! Oh yeah oh yeah no where can i vote It's amazing Yeah I mean people are just they're completely oblivious to what's going on Yes totally That was somewhat disheartening actually It's like, oh man this is no good. Anyway voting has occurred and Donald Trump will be the

55:17 It'll be Trump versus Biden. It's gonna be beautiful, it will be somewhat tiring for the next nine months but we'll stick with it We'll try to keep your amygdala as in check. We will try to make it entertaining! Yes entertaining and speaking of entertaining... Let the joyous news be spread The wicked witch at last is dead Toria Newland retires, retires. Very surprising I know you have some clips. I'll start it off with a Redux clip going back to just February 1st Just a month ago she was in Keynes

56:03 I have to say that I leave tonight more encouraged about the unity and the resolve of 2024, and its absolute strategic importance for Ukraine. I also leave more confident that even as Ukraine strengthens its defenses, Mr. Putin is going to get some nice surprises on the battlefield and that Ukraine will make some very strong success this year

56:41 So, we should have already taken the sound quality of her announcement as a clue that something was not going the way she wanted it. This was not a good appearance by Toria and she said oh Mr Putin's gonna get some surprises on the battlefield! I'm now thinking that was meant to be those Taurus missiles. Toria didn't get the Taurus and uh...and she resigned And I have some thoughts, but we agreed that you would play a couple clips about her first. Yes! I want to play one of her biggest fans. Glenn Greenwald gave her a send-off...I have three clips and he's

57:27 He loves her. He's disappointed that poor old Toria, as they like to call her is on the way out you're gonna analyze this but let's listen to Glenn here's one One of the most bloodthirsty and psychotic warmongers to occupy high office in Washington resigned today evidently and hopefully bringing a shameful end to her long and destructive career in Washington Victoria Nuland, who worked for every American president from Bill Clinton to Joe Biden with the sole exception that she was out of power only during the Trump presidency announced today that she was resigning her position as acting Deputy Secretary of State a position which had just been promoted last July when the prior Deputy Secretary of State retired.

58:13 There is much speculation about why Nguyen may have resigned now. Perhaps it was due to her anger that the Biden administration is not doing more to fuel the war in Ukraine against Russia, one of her pet projects for decades though the Biden administration has impeded only because Congress under House Speaker Mike Johnson won't approve another $60 billion from that war? Perhaps it is anger over the fact that the Biden White House is now tepidly criticizing Israel, a country to which she is more devoted than almost anybody in Washington. Or perhaps and most likely was due to the fact that she was just passed over to permanently become the Deputy Secretary of State, the position second-in-line to ascend her lifelong ambition of becoming Secretary of State

58:57 Whatever the reasons, and despite the horror show that has already replaced her—someone who also worked for Dick Cheney and has been around in the State Department for decades—there is still much to celebrate from this news of the end at least for now of Victoria Nuland's career in government. She served as Dick Cheney's top advisor for his disastrous invasion and occupation of Iraq She then served as US ambassador to NATO when the Bush administration, led by Condoleezza Rice and Victoria Nuland began attempts to expand NATO right up to the Russian border including Ukraine. And one can draw a direct line between that expansionist mentality in 2007-08 and the decade long war in Ukraine now taking place I don't know if he mentions it but you and I were even talking about this just last week about how cute she was back in the day

59:44 He doesn't, he does not shame her for turning into a kind of a horrible looking beast. Well we will and not only that but she had a mannerism that had something very interesting undertone of vixen-esque type yeah mannerism when she was on I think it's the C-SPAN interview that has been going around? Big nurse I'm sorry. It was the big nurse character in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest nest that's who she looks like now Well, she did but she looks she always looked like the woman who played that nurse nurse cratchit ratchet But you had this funny way of talking and if she's always liked You know Like you're talking to an insane person all the time well And she's she is creepy

1:00:37 When she was thin and kind of pretty physically pretty but then when she started talking did she had this nurse ratchet quality that was extremely Uncomfortable to watch and she didn't play he played that clip of her on C-SPAN But I don't have that. Here's part two of this. Given that we have an audience composed of many people who are recent arrivals in the last several months, and given that her departure is really a momentous occasion to take a look at what she did. We will show you that report we prepared last August as it is more relevant now than ever upon her departure.

1:01:28 Elected officials who wield a lot of power in Washington do sometimes receive a fair amount of media attention. But oftentimes the people who real, wheel power in Washington, the ones who aren't accountable to the democratic process, who stay in power regardless of which political party you vote for get far too little attention given how much influence they wield and that is definitely the case for Joe Biden's new deputy secretary of state Victoria Nuland, who has been occupying crucial positions in the US government going all the way back to the Clinton administration through the Bush administration through the Obama administration skipping over Donald Trump and now wielding more power than ever especially over Ukraine in the war in Ukraine under Joe Biden. She really deserves a lot more attention that she's received so let's look at first of all one

1:02:20 One of my favorite British reporting outlets, which is Responsible Statecraft. When Victoria Nuland was reported on July 25th they said the following quote, Uber Russia hawk Victoria Nuland rises to acting Deputy Secretary of State she's done as much as anyone to sour US-Russia ties now she is one of Washington's top diplomats Quote, in a little remark move the Biden administration announced Monday that Victoria Nuland will take over as the acting second-in command at the State Department. She replaces Wendy Sherman who plans to retire at the end of this week. Newland's appointment will be a boon for Russia hawks who want to turn up the heat on the Kremlin but for those who favor negotiated into the conflict in Ukraine, a promotion for the notoriously quote undiplomatic diplomat will be a bitter pill

1:03:13 Man, even though it's always hard to listen to him. It's better than reading his long pieces It's much better than reading that stuff. Well, his long pieces are excellent if he has an editor Yeah well we know he doesn't He hasn't had that for 10 years No nobody has editors anymore You have to either do it yourself or you have somebody help you When I write my pieces for Substack which I need a couple more I use one of our producers who is a copy editor and she does a great job From the Oasis from the oasis. Anyway, so here he finishes it up and he's got a nice little conclusion at the end. Just imagine you are one of the leading advocates for the war in Iraq promising that there is all this success in the war in Afghanistan and then demanding NATO be expanded into Eastern Europe up to the border including Ukraine

1:04:13 be used as a tool for regime change operations, including in Libya. You have all these bloody disasters on your plate and American public opinion is against all of them." You would think somebody's reputation and credibility in Washington would be crippled as a result of advocating so many destructive policies that resulted in the deaths of so many people unnecessarily for reasons that completely backfired on American foreign, uh, American interests as they were defined at the time. But that's not how Washington works ever. Jeffrey Goldberg got caught spreading crucial lies using the pages of The New Yorker promoting the idea that Saddam Hussein was an alliance with Al Qaeda

1:04:56 Which led 70% of Americans to conclude that Saddam Hussein had participated in the 9-11 attacks, which got them to justify and support the invasion of Iraq. He got journalism awards for spreading that lie on behalf of U.S security state and as we know he now occupies a position of editor in chief at The Atlantic And also just got promoted by having a PBS show given him That has long been called Washington Week So he's advanced...the more he lied bloody wars Victoria Nuland is involving herself in and advocating, and cheering, and justifying the more she advances in bipartisan Washington. It doesn't matter you could have gone to the polls in 2008 voted for John McCain You could have gone to the polls that voted for Barack Obama And Victoria Nuland would've ended up running things for the State Department Hmm well

1:05:50 I think there's a lot going on and there are no coincidences in the kingdom. I would say that the so-called leaked call of the German Luftwaffe top brass is not a coincidence, that this had to happen because we are now shoving Ukraine onto Germany We've got Macron out there saying, don't be cowards and... And... Oh this is not good. What happened here? This is very weird that this happened! There's a lot of chatter for instance, chatter item number one that there's some kind of investigation going on about Ukraine

1:06:48 A financial investigation of $120 billion spent on open items that were unclear as to where that went. Now, I don't know that for sure. Klitschko, Klitch her boy there... Klitch is openly criticizing Zelensky and what i'm hearing is everything is collapsing Looking around at some of these, I went all over the place. I went on Substack, I'm looking at blogs... This is Puck. Puck writes a lot about stuff going on in DC. Bad blood at State! Anger and resentment is exploding in Foggy Bottom after Kurt Campbell, a close friend of Tony Blinken was nominated for Deputy Secretary of State over the agency's more experienced acting number two

1:07:40 Victoria Nuland. Well, this is not entirely true She is absolutely experienced in all things Russia I believe this represents a pivot to China Bricks, I would say more generally But to China and I think we can back it up because we have seen... well first of all the guy who's taking over from her Is John Bass John Bass was ambassador to Afghanistan during the very successful pullout in 2021. So that tells me, hey this guy knows how to do it if we got a pull out of the Ukraine mess let him do it he knows how to screw things up just fine

1:08:25 The successor to Cookie, Cookie on the Maidan Newland is this guy Kurt Campbell. And he made a big mistake of going on a podcast a couple of months ago so I have some clips from that and kind of get an understanding of him but let's just put it all together why i think this is a pivot to China, to the BRICS or as you'll hear later the Indo-Pacific It's all about the military-industrial complex. They cannot get this money, the money is just not happening The Trump is telling the Republicans not to do it Now the Senate is all gridlocked and the Democrats are saying well, it's a Republican fault They didn't want to do the deal who wanted to do the deal though? The money is not happening in the military industrial complex our biggest expenditure one of our biggest expenditures they want their money and I think

1:09:20 Pivoting to China is great for a whole bunch of reasons. Number one, you get to build big ships and subs and we got a note from one of our producers last week about the air bases in the, uh... in the Indo-Pacific. Here's the link that we were given Game on with China! US to restore Tinian Airfield once home to largest B29 bomber fleet during World War II And this note we got from one of our producers if you can recall was a screenshot of somebody In The Know and that screen shot literally said keep your eye on the stocks The contractors are coming out You remember that text?

1:10:09 Yes, and I specifically asked. I think I sent a note back what stocks do we talk about? Of course you did! Be kind of curious... So another reason why I think we pivot is because Trump has said he's gonna end this war but Trump hates China and Trump loves building huge ships huge huge ships We got subs big beautiful subs You won't see them they're under the water. We've got fentanyl We've been told that there's Chinese coming across the border, military-aged men. Very very scary maybe we can you know stop this invasion of the military aged man maybe we can get some troops in the Darien Gap or Ecuador but I'm seeing a lot of military spending in our future and then right on cue

1:10:58 TikTok is back. Fueled by viral videos, TikTok offers a stage for millions but soon the curtain could be coming down new legislation set for review by US House committee tomorrow requires Tiktok to separate itself or divest from its Chinese based owner ByteDance or risk a ban from app stores in the US. We implore ByteDance to sell TikTok so that its American users can enjoy their dance videos, their bad lip sync everything else that goes along with TikTok

1:11:34 Amid growing fears, the personal information TikTok devours from its users could fall into the hands of Chinese adversaries. There may be millions of TikTok users who say don't ban this we love this Well the choice is up to TikTok They have a choice to make as whether or not they want to remain with ByteDance that we know it's controlled by the Chinese Communist Party TikTok blast this plan saying they already have firewalls in place to protect user data. They say it would trample on the First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans So we have a nice overview of Americans you can get ready to hate China because military age meant... When Bret Weinstein is promoting this, you gotta pay attention

1:12:17 Yes, I do have two TikTok clips about this. Yes, I'd like to set you up. I want to first say that this bill was introduced by Gallagher he's a Republican his one of his biggest donors is Google and as part of the legislation ByteDance slash Tik Tok will have five months To make all data exportable so that people can export their videos and put them onto YouTube Coincidence? I think not. TikTok legislations? Yeah, they got the two-parter this came from NTD so it has the anti Chinese bent. Chinese owned Tik Tok once again in the hot seat this comes as The White House says it's backing a bipartisan bill aimed at targeting Tiktok access to the US market

1:13:06 Entity Sam Wong has details of the new legislation. It's another round of action targeting TikTok. And allowing a CCP controlled entity like TikTok to become the dominant media player in America would be like if in 1962 at the height, the height of the Cold War right before the Cuban Missile Crisis we'd allowed Pravda and the KGB to purchase The New York Times, The Washington Post ABC and NBC. On Capitol Hill Wednesday bipartisan group lawmakers announced new legislation titled for attacking Americans from Foreign Adversary Control Application Act. The bill specifically describes TikTok and its China-owned parent company ByteDance as threats to U.S. national security If the bill passes, TikTok will face two options either to divest from ByteDance within about five months or to face a total ban from all web hosting services in the US

1:13:54 A TikTok spokesperson responded to the legislation saying it would trample on First Amendment rights of 170 million Americans. The lawmaker said the bill isn't about going after the app itself, but rather to address concerns surrounding its ownership structure. Our goal is to decouple TikTok and other platforms from the malign influence and control of the Chinese Communist Party. Americans data is always at risk, always at risk of seizure by the CCP This is a CCP controlled company claiming to stand up for constitutional rights while simultaneously engaging in slavery and horrific human rights abuses Okay this is great before we go to your second clip

1:14:37 This is also bullcrap because the Project Texas moved all that data over to Oracle servers. I don't think it's all completed yet, but you know and it's really specious to say that a CCP is controlling our data because if anyone's controlling the minds of our people, it's the Meta Corporation which you've invested in and and you see what happens when you, that might have been a test. You know we had a quick turn off of Facebook and Instagram and everybody freaked out and everyone's like oh what are we gonna do? And so you want to take away TikTok? You want to see people freak out? So this is a clear message and I just want to read a couple of quotes from some of the co-signers of this bill including Elise Stefanik

1:15:29 TikTok is communist China malware that is poisoning the minds of our next generation and giving the CCP unfettered access to troves of American data. TikTok is digital fentanyl! The dangerous link between TikTok and Chinese Communist Party has never been more apparent All Americans deserve access to information and media platforms that are free from the influence of hostile foreign actors like the CCP. But here's the facts, TikTok has been used by the CCP just silence-free speech unlike Twitter and Instagram etc. Social media corporations are attention fracking America's youth and corroding our democracy! These are all different quotes

1:16:16 TikTok owned by the CCP is not true. We cannot allow CCP to indoctrinate our children! That was a quote from Scott Adams. Congress can no longer... What? Really?! No, it's not in this release I'm just adding that because that's what he always says. Let me see if there's any of this. Any technology app software language models owned by foreign adversaries are unequivocal threats to our national security TikTok is CCP spyware used by the regime to steal Americans' data and push harmful propaganda, unlike all the other social networks including content showing migrants how to illegally cross our southern border. Supporting Hamas terrorists and whitewashing 9-11! They promoted the letter from Osama bin Laden I mean this these people are so transparent

1:17:12 This is all about the military-industrial complex switching over to hating China for big ships, for subs and for airfields. Here's the second of your TikTok legislation clips. What's more? The legislation also allows the White House to designate certain applications controlled by foreign adversaries namely China Russia Iran and North Korea Experts and top US officials have long voiced concern over ByDance's ties to the Chinese Communist Party. More specifically, that it could force TikTok to submit American users' data. The legislation we've got out today is a product of particularly the last year's worth of work People are starting to recognize that this isn't just about some oh my data might not be used properly No! That data is being used to attack you and attack our country The House Energy & Commerce Committee will mark up the bill Thursday

1:18:01 Yeah, this is a load of horse crap. But if you- You know... Yes? There's an irony here that always cracks me up is that when Google and some of these other American companies were in China, and they would get bent out of shape and kicked them out. We're so aghast! How could they do that? They don't like it you know they hate the internet. And we go on and on and now we're doing the exact same thing years later. Oh yeah Does anybody see any hypocrisy here? Well... So....we have a new guy

1:18:39 who is Tony Blinken's buddy, Kurt Campbell. Who is Kurt Campbell? Well he reminds me of my Uncle Don a little bit without the humor which is sad because I had to listen to an hour-long China Talks podcast recorded... Is it spelled with a C or K? Kurt with a K. Kurt M. Campbell and he has been leading the Indo Pacific strategy for the Biden administration CEO of the Asia Group LLC. Oh, the Asia Group! Hell yeah!

1:19:16 He served as a National Security Council coordinator for the Indo-Pacific. And the Indo Pacific is I think, the term we're going to be hearing although really they're talking about BRICS because we can still hate Russia through China you see? Because China is one of the big supporters of Russia They are in this BRICS coalition The BRICS just by coincidence announced their new SWIFT system which will be launching next year blockchain based...I'm sure it'll be fantastic You know, Britain just announced... Yes? I'm sorry, i'm looking at his bio and this he's got all the earmarks of what you we noticed. You know Council on Foreign Relations blah blah but this one cracks me up 2018 to 2019 Campbell was the Kissinger fellow at the McCain Institute He is a war criminal by default Wow All right so I have a couple clips that I pulled and we can kind of get a strategy And off the bat I was surprised but then again

1:20:17 Not really, because like that's an interesting... if you want to go after it. We need to get the American public ramped up. You know? Like the Russia thing is over! No one no one's interested Putin bad I know he's not dead whatever It's Ukraine we don't care and it's great to have You know, to have a distant enemy. We can all hate Chinese! It's easy to hate them. They're stealing our data... they're sending spies across the border in military aids. They're bastards! Exactly it's very easy for us to hate the Chinese I know how Americans work and how we think but just easy that way

1:20:54 But how can we really hate China? Let's set a baseline goal for US policy in 2050, the traditional aim of opposing any other power. This is so this is the China talks podcast host exercising exclusive hegemonic control over Asia or the Pacific, or we can take yours slightly more ambitious of sustaining the operating system that the US has set up in Asia over the past 75 years. My little rubric for the three things the US needs to execute on is long-term economic growth maintaining alliance networks and not imploding domestically

1:21:32 And you sort of have a major war as a potential wild card there. Am I missing or what's missing in that schematic? So look, I think that's a good list. I would just add one thing to this if I can then I recognize that for people who think about power sometimes they don't like the intrusion of issues that are not traditional but in fact if we don't figure out how to consequentially deal with climate change, the effects of which are hitting us much earlier in a much more profound way that I think even some of the warriors thought. I don't think we'll be able to deal with some of these other challenges. So I think what I'd add to that probably are some transnational issues but at the top of that really would be climate change and

1:22:28 sea level rise, that means uncontrolled migration. That means changes in everything from crops to sea habitats. These are all at risk now much earlier than anticipated and I think In truth, we have been loathed. We try not to call out particular countries but China is going to have to do much more in this arena if we are to address the most significant elements of climate change over the course of the next period ahead." So he's... This is three months ago so this was- Who was that dud? That's Kurt Campbell! Oh my God, that guy has got an IQ of 80

1:23:15 He plays violin. Sure he does! Now, that was the longest clip I have luckily but i thought it was interesting that right off the bat he starts talking about climate change and I think they're going to try and use this and say hey it's one big world and China is screwing us with all their coal plants and we can...I think there's an opportunity to move that over to blaming China That's a real opportunity. And I normally would not have played this clip, mainly because I vetoed playing this douche but John Kerry said something very similar about Russia just the other day. I believe that Russia has the ability to be able to make enormous changes if it really wanted too. If Russia has the ability to wage war illegally

1:24:08 and invade another country, they ought to be able to find the effort to be responsible on the climate issue. And unfortunately because of the actions that Russia took in an unprovoked illegal war against another nation We have not been engaged in discussions with Russia, sadly. I say sadly because it's a loss for the world not to be able to have Russia acting constructively on this issue but we need every country including Russia. Russia is one of the largest emitters in the world if Russia wanted to show good faith

1:24:51 They could go out and announce what their reductions are going to be, and make a greater effort to reduce emissions now. And maybe that would open up the door for people to feel better about what Russia is choosing to do at this point in time. So we'll feel better about Russia in Ukraine as long as they're all in on climate change? I mean, these people are insane. So it wouldn't surprise me if climate change is a part of the strategy but TikTok is probably going to be a lot more effective now back to Kurt Campbell

1:25:27 And he has, you know, he's the expert. He is the expert on all things China. How do the Chinese view themselves on the world stage? I don't think that Chinese believe in any way that they have elements of decline in their system. I think what animates them is not only a sense of aggrievement at the highest level, the idea perversing decades or century of what they call humiliation but also a sense that China's time has come, that this remarkable accumulation of power and capacity now has to exert itself fully to a leading role on the global stage. I think in many respects they feel that they are unique and that can't be replicated The steps that they've taken internationally have been to provide capacities either technology or police services or whatever

1:26:20 at the behest of local authoritarians, whether it's in Africa or the Pacific or South Asia to try to prop up leaders that tend to be more flexible on issues that matter to China. So this tells me that they're also going to do some stuff with Africa because, you know, China is now big there. They're gonna be the real problem and at the head of the pack is Xi he's just as bad as Putin I think some of things we hear from people in China today suggests that the kind of information

1:27:05 And the people that President Xi gets information from is increasingly limited. And sometimes it's hard in the system currently to speak truth to power, and so we're seeing a repeat of history of the kind that we saw in the Maoist period where only certain kinds of leader, certain kinds of information makes it to the very top And so that does concern us, that you like very much for the people that you're engaging with to have a deep full understanding of the world in which they are operating. I think what we see in a variety places like Ukraine

1:27:48 We think China's calculus and decision-making has been informed by a number of things that are concerning. So they're also helping Ukraine, I'm telling you China is the new bad guy and the Indo Pacific is the region to worry about The dynamism of the global economy And I'm so sorry...I don't think we'll ever play clips from this guy again This guy is a clone of Kerry He has a different accent, but he's the slow talking... clone of Kerry. ...ponderous can't get to the point blah blah blah likes to hear his own voice

1:28:28 I had to edit so much just to get anything out of this, but i think it's worth the pain. All issues associated with what's important on the global stage are playing out in large part in the Indo-Pacific. I think that's a critical import and then you're going to want hopefully to see that the seeds of a continuing dominant important American role continues. And so I would say those are the things that you hope for and you worry that either the American body politic grows tired of those exertions or hit an environment in which China has been ambivalent to

1:29:13 to create mechanisms for the kinds of communications and crisis prevention that are necessary, I think to operate in this current arena. That somehow there is an accident or miscalculation that escalates unintentionally so there are lots of things to worry about but those are a couple." False flag incoming is what I'm thinking... And of course that would be Taiwan! But again Mr. Clone of Carrie is very slick when it comes to questions about Taiwan that you were kind enough served a lot of capacities Over a long period time one of the things he learned usually the hard way is Not to be too loquacious and answer a lot of hypotheticals associated with Taiwan. What's loquacious mean? Oh

1:30:06 I guess one of those words you kind of understand but can't just define. Let's look it up? Yeah, yeah. And anyone who says loquacious... Is an asshole! Sorry, timing. Dude perfect timing. Hey we'll be here all week everybody. That's that talkative loquacious means talkative pretty much. Yeah, I would simply say I think us policy is clear I think it is bipartisan. I think we are determined to maintain the status quo and peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits

1:30:45 I think increasingly that is accepted as a bipartisan national objective. And, I think we will do everything possible we can to sustain it. Big ships incoming! All right final clip he's got new calculus. Let me do a little side here? Yeah please You know we had for years recognized Taiwan as China and i think it was during just before Reagan got the presidency switch gears and they kick. Taiwan out of the through him under the bus and now we don't even recognize them as a country We do not recognize Taiwan United States. We do business with them Yeah, but we do not recognize them as a country yet I mean this is like Ukraine we've never done trading they're not our buddies whenever you know Even though you know nobody ever goes there uh-huh And all of a sudden we have to be like now we have to defend Taiwan against the Chinese

1:31:43 How about stepping up right now and recognizing them as a country if there's big shots, big talkers, big loquacious types? Notice he said Taiwan Straits. So when you talk about the Taiwan Straits you're talking ships in the Indo-Pacific region I'm liking your thesis here All right we have new calculus Much of our international system over decades has been designed that at its core are efficiencies and lowest, you know cost for production. You know accepting cheap slave labor from China just say it's capabilities to technologies or better done in some places than others right? Right but I think probably heading into a new period where new set of calculus

1:32:39 Ah, there it is. China we're not going to manufacture in your country anymore is important. You know resilience durability you know the opportunity to be able to count on more than one source of supply all those steps build redundancy into the system And I think probably those steps are smart and they will continue. But it is a substantial reorientation at the system that had been about just in time, that had been about maximizing efficiency over resiliency. And I think we're reorienting towards a system that's more predictable. It may be higher cost in certain areas

1:33:30 maybe slightly slower, but we think will probably be made more durable in event of a crisis. It's like this guy was written into the script for Trump it's perfect! Perfect get your manufacturing out of China now And there's no sales anymore. iPhones not selling anymore in China. Nah, we're pivoting away with our manufacturing but we're going to focus on these evil slanty eyes over there because they are stealing your data and controlling your children! This is on deck and it is perfect for Trump. Huge ships

1:34:09 Huge. The Red Sea, I think the Red Sea is also a part of it. You know, oh we need more ships in the Red Sea and we're back... We have neglected building bids. There's gonna be the USS Trump! It's coming. Put that in the red book One final thing-I just thought this was interesting Campbell did something that I think is not done in American diplomacy He mentioned the G word. I had a chance to get out of it. I have to say he grew up in California And by the way, he knows a lot about Russia because he also went to school in Moscow. By coincidence so there's... He can cover the Toria bits with that and he says that where he grew up was very similar to Armenia I had a chance to get an educational scholarship So I went to the former Soviet Union, Soviet Armenia and then also had some time in Moscow as well But I have very fond

1:35:06 memories of growing up there and learning about that culture. But I remember, if you can imagine it was basically my first time going abroad and so when the Armenians left Armenia around the First World War Genocide were Turkey and they came to settle in the United States. They settled In the San Joaquin Valley in California because it looks so much like where they came from in Armenia yet upon the capital city I don't think that you're supposed to say that as a diplomat no, you can't can't say genocide It was a genocide but yet he did it the Turks are bent out of shape when you do that. No

1:35:48 Oh yeah, oh they're a big deal. Yeah and so anyway you know the bricks are making moves you know they're making all kinds of moves maybe that is seen as the new problem and what better than to go after the C? You can't spell bricks without the C or without the R So, this is I think the focus and what we'll be hearing. And Toria has zero Indo-Pacific experience and so she's out of the game... Out! She just out. And now I think that as I said the Red Sea

1:36:26 And the Houthis, they're ramping that up. More ships needed! The US military says at least three sailors have been killed in a missile attack on a freighter off the coast of Yemen They are the first deaths since Houthi rebels began attacking shipping in the Red Sea The group says the crew of the Barbados flagged cargo vessel True Confidence ignored warning messages before it came under fire The survivors were forced to abandon ship The Houthis have been attacking ships and what they say is retaliation for Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip strip. The group, which is backed by Iran has forced maritime traffic to divert away from the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden with the world's busiest shipping routes." Busiest shipping routes... So that's what I think is going on! None of this is coincidence all these things happening and I do have one clip about Deutsche Welle because I really think that we leaked

1:37:19 That call between the Luftwaffe brass Made it look like Germany was putting boots on the ground, like Germany is in charge of the war now. Like here you go Germans F the EU Go ahead we're just gonna... and by the way you pay for it! You know? You go ahead, you pay for it This is why David Cameron came out yesterday and said, you know I think that we should probably give the Ukraine some credit And he says we're going to lend them money with the Russian, the 300 billion in Russian assets as collateral. Which is a fun way to get around it! Here's Deutsche Welle deflecting blame...

1:38:03 false. mean if Germany decided to send its powerful Taurus nacelles to Ukraine? German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius warns this is part of Russia's playbook. It's a hybrid attack on disinformation. It's about division, it's about burying our closeness." So who is telling the truth? In the call the officials spoke about logistics and technical requirements and crucially what the Ukrainians could use the missiles for such as an attack on the bridge connecting Russia to Crimea which is Ukrainian territory

1:39:02 Ukraine says it urgently needs tourists. But so far German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has refused to provide the weapon His reasoning? He says it would require German soldiers to be on the ground in Ukraine, to help program the system but in the leaked call the officers are heard laying out ways which that would not be the case Opposition politicians asking why they mismatch and is Olaf Scholz misleading the public Yeah, so Germany's in turmoil now. It's perfect! It's perfect! Turmoil... Macron out there saying we should not be cowards Do not be cowards We can go, we can fight and Ukraine is for Europe For the EU And we're just letting them- we're just gonna let them ffff Just stink in it As we pivot to China That's my story Well

1:40:00 I thought you were going to tell, I thought this presentation was going to involve where Victoria Nuland was gonna end up. Yeah i have no idea. I think she's she's uh gonna go to some think tank and...I mean look she needs to..you know what? She needs to go to a spa Ah, you know I was just about to throw that in. I was gonna beat into that punchline but no. She needs to go to a spa! She definitely needs to go to a spa. I think that would be good for her. Go to the spa girl. One of those spas in Germany... The place is crawling with them. No she's definitely not going to be invited into Germany. Uh uh. Go to a spa there? No way. No way is she going to the spa

1:40:43 in Germany. Especially not in spa. What you got? I got more stuff. All you've got to wrap is the, talk about pivoting. Let's go to Fanny Willis or Bonnie or Phony Willis. Oh my God! I have to ask you a question. Did you see Any footage of the, I forget what her name was now. Georgia had a session where they had a lawyer who they brought in to investigate all of the billing of Wade and stuff that he sent through to Fannie Wallace's office? Yeah Did you see that?

1:41:24 I saw some of it. I mean, it's amazing! The guy was just like... so he billed $700,000 for work that normally would cost 150,000. He was just writing up—normally lawyers do six-minute increments or ten minute increments—he's like eight hours drafted some docs Boom. Yeah, no it's this is a corrupt operation totally she has it well these clips talk about her being a felon Let's go And Georgia attorney Ashley Merchant yeah That's right before a state panel investigating attorney district attorney Fair Fannie Willis She told the panel then battled prosecutor has committed a felony and today's legal correspondent Arlene Richards Has more on the hearing

1:42:15 My allegation in my motion is that the bigger the case is, the more money. Georgia Attorney Ashley Merchant tells a special state senate panel Wednesday why she thinks District Attorney Fannie Willis should be disqualified. The committee is investigating allegations of misconduct by Willis involving potential conflicts of interest and misuse of public funds. Merchant is a defense attorney representing Michael Roman in the sprawling racketeering case filed by Willis against former President Trump and several others. Merchant claims that Willis' romantic relationship with her top prosecutor

1:42:50 prosecutor, Nathan Wade is a conflict of interest and that she expanded the size of the case so that Wade could make more money. So expanding litigation because of how large it is they've now...the judge has said we're probably going to have three trials and each of them are gonna take several months where if you just imagine follow me down the path if you only indicted one person and it was narrow you know you could try in a month there's a lot more money um and so that to me was a financial motive A Democrat member of the panel challenged Merchant on her claim of a financial motive. The earlier you said that you believe, which was total speculation that they created this case against your client to do more billing and what you're just telling me now is that he was willing to stop his billing because he offered your client a misdemeanor and you rejected it! You're the one who's continuing the billing! Wow I missed that part

1:43:46 Yeah, some stooge. Go to part two. Merchant said Willis combined three different types of cases into one and that's how it was expanded There are the folks involved at the federal level You see those people having um you know they were in DC Then you see the electors then you see Kaufman Merchant also claims that Willis and Wade lied about when their relationship began What are the consequences for an attorney? to give sworn testimony that she did. If you're Bradley, what is it? Yerkey? Your T. Your track hawk data your other independent verifications are found to be truthful It's a crime it's a felony he'd lose your license it's perjury same for Wade yes

1:44:36 Yeah, it was pretty damning. I guess we should just reiterate this is the special investigator? No, special... What is Wade's...? The woman? No no! This is about Fonny Willis who hired the Special Investigator about Trump. It's all about Trump. Yeah well basically but then she thought she was smarter than she is and decided to Crank up the number so she'd get her boyfriend a lot of money and go on a lot of vacations, have a lot of fun. She is a dummy this Fannie Willis you can look at her. But when you see this You've got to think the entire judicial system is just rotten It's rotten Yeah, you'd have to think that And again The theory of Moe is like alright we're not gonna be able to get Trump So will blame it on the black women

1:45:33 That's why they're getting pushed to the front. Yeah, they all are too in fact that there's a number of them they getting pushed which is you see it over and over again every time I see a black woman now being waltzing around in some position of high power which was very dubious I think of most thesis It's and its super racist from the Democrats Now let the black lady take the fall because they're racists. Racist, racist. Well there's another pivot going on that we're pivoting away from the COVID vax which nobody wants anymore and we're pivoting towards the GLP-1 drugs but there was one last

1:46:16 I guidance that he was doing this. He was actually being investigated by the authorities in Germany where he was when he got these 217 shots, that's how medical researchers found out about him and they started to study him as a 62 year old man who got these 217 shots over 29 months. As you said that averages for a day but there was one month in January of 2022 he is

1:47:10 of And he never got COVID, although they say they don't know if that's because of all these vaccinations or because of his behavior or something else guys. But this guy considered a walking experiment. Never any charges pressed against him in Germany but he is okay and this tells us that at least these shots appear to be safe at this quantity if not recommended at that level guys. Okay guys safe and effective! So, of course every news outlet had this story.

1:47:54 And no one has his name, no one's interviewed him. I want to see this guy! 217 COVID shots... What a crock! I mean serious it's like the last attempt to convince everybody it's okay you can take 217 of these shots No side effects, no COVID safe and effective what are you waiting for? Yeah. So I'm glad you got that clip because I knew about this story, but I didn't have a no, I know it was so happy when I got to clip myself. Yeah. So the big pivot? I'm sorry. No, I'm just saying this is it's gotta be It's the biggest croc story and your point as well taken where is this guy? How about Where's a microphone in his face? How do you feel dude? The term is hyper vaccinated to like I like the term hypervaccinated. It's a good term

1:48:51 So, we can ignore England's vaccinated population close to 1 million deaths in 23 months. The unvaccinated population had less than 61 month deaths in the same period. We can ignore that. We can ignore the journalists who demanded concentration camps for the unvaccinated dead at 33. Magic number! Yeah, 33. We can ignore all of that. Funny one though, pandemic babies show altered gut microbiome development and lower allergy rates. Conclusion? You've got to lock these kids down early! Put a mask on them keep them home it's good it's good stuff very good stuff

1:49:35 So the big pivot now is to, and this is so we have a couple of things going on. We should probably talk about AI which seems to be falling apart at the moment. At least the big AI projects are not doing so well but I'd like to stick with pharma CNBC doing their business as they do help everybody buy. There's never a sell moment with them, it's always buy-buy-buy and right now we got to bring in Scott Gottlieb of course former FDA administrator and he is the board member of several companies Pfizer does not have they actually failed with their weight loss drug but

1:50:19 As we predicted, it's now pretty much a foregone conclusion listening to CNBC that these drugs will be taken into Medicaid and we the public will be paying for it so everybody can keep on eating crap. Eat processed crap food and lose weight at the same time, and it has so many other benefits. So it has to be on Medicare. Welcome back to Fast Money. The debate around GLP-1 drug prices and availability rages on with concerns that ballooning costs could limit access and cost the government billions Monday former NEC director Brian Deese wrote in a New York Times op ed saying the US government should try to lower prices through its Medicare purchasing program but not all experts agree that's

1:51:03 the most effective way to control costs and blunt the impact on the federal budget. Former FDA commissioner and CNBC contributor Dr Scott Gottlieb joins us now. Scott, great to see you! And we had a very heated discussion surrounding this yesterday. We also had some question marks around some of the numbers, the eye-popping numbers that Deese outlined in the op ed. You also took issue with some of those numbers. What did what in your opinion did Deese miss? Well, there's no question this is going to cost Medicare a lot of money but not nearly what was estimated in that op-ed. First of all they wrongly used list price to make their assumptions on what the cost would be rather than the net price. We know discounting is very heavy in the market right now on the order of 40% to 60%.

1:51:46 between Wlugowi and Zepan. It's only going to get more intense, and also they wrongly assumed it appears that this was approved under a biologics license application—that it is biological—and in fact it was approved under new drug application, and therefore already subject to the price negotiation within the IRA within Medicare And it's probably going to go on the list this year, so it's probably going to be subject to the negotiated price as early as 2027. Some analysts on Wall Street are also estimating that and so the notion of the op-ed was that we need to extend the price negotiation under the IRA to encompass these drugs because otherwise they won't be subject to the negotiated price until 2030, they said in the op-ed. And in fact they'll be subject to a negotiated price as early as 2027 and they'll go on the list probably... Semiglutide will probably go on the list this year based on when it was approved. It was approved in December of 2017 that's seven years out and so therefore is subject negotiation Novo is probably regretting that they got it approved in December 2017 rather than January 2018 because now its 7 years

1:52:47 I thought that was really interesting. If you're in the stock market, Novo Nordisk hit the market in 2017 – that's seven years out which means they are now subject to list negotiations and some of the others aren't most notably death bound from Wigowi. Right, right, right he should have talked to some of the analysts on Wall Street who are already factoring in 27 being the year in which it would go on the Medicare list in terms of up for negotiation I'm wondering though because you know you mentioned Ozempic specifically what Wigovi was approved later on for weight loss specifically and so is there a difference in terms of what is able to be negotiated in terms of what the use of the molecule is?

1:53:28 the use of the molecule. So the price negotiation, their negotiated rate is going to be applied to semi-glutized so it's going to encompass all the formulations and so presumably based on how Medicare has behaved in other settings similar to this they're gonna extend that not just to the formulation for diabetes or ozempic but also the formulation for weight loss with Govey so that too will be subject to negotiate prices early as 2027 I find this all so disgusting that we're gonna be paying for this which we don't even know what it does to people yet long-term. And already says, no it's just foregone conclusion! Worse than that we're not only gonna be paying for it but as they don't like the discuss when you start taking these things do have to take them forever life yes well can't stop they will they have a solution to that

1:54:22 It's called gains to society. How do you think about the gains though, to society that Deason really factor in? That a lot of other people are thinking more broadly about I mean theoretically if you're not having a serious cardiovascular event You're not missing work for instance or if you're not in need of knee surgery because you're not obese...you're not missing work either Yeah, it's not just the productivity benefits that we're going to see from this but also the direct health benefits and they could be quite substantial. There is a lot of comorbidity inside the Medicare population related to weight and it also underscores the fact that a lot people are gonna be newly eligible for these drugs even before Medicare expands

1:55:02 coverage for weight loss. And so their assumption in the op-ed was that once Medicare expands coverage for weight loss, then all these patients will be newly eligible for the drug and in fact as new indications get on labels of these drugs and Govy's probably going to get an indication for cardiovascular risk reduction this year those patients will become eligible for the drug because even though Medicare doesn't cover drugs for weight loss they do cover drugs for cardiovascular risk reduction if you look at the numbers right now... What a scam! Oh, if you're not fat then it's cardiovascular risk reduction so get the shot! We'll pay for it. There are about 23 million Medicare beneficiaries that have had a prior stroke or MI If you figure half of them are already eligible for this drug because they have diabetes and then half of the remaining patients probably qualify based on BMI

1:55:49 That gets you to around 5-6 million patients who will be newly eligible under Medicare for Wigovi once it gets that label expansion probably this year. And the total population of Medicare patients who would be eligible just based on BMI alone is roughly, probably roughly around 20 million so 25% of that population will be eligible just based on the label expansion this year and it's only going to increase as they get indications for sleep apnea chronic kidney disease and other comorbidities. It's fantastic! What a bonanza You're snoring, take Wigovy. And you know I'm just gonna say Fen-Fen part two but okay! I'm sure it'll all come out later It'll be the short of a lifetime Well there's already one of these law firms that is taking names They advertise on television I know for class action So final clip is Of course this now...you talk about us to be approved But really we need the

1:56:45 the stop obesity in America act or whatever it's called so we have to start getting some money to those politicians who is going to take more money, who is really gonna push through? Is it gonna be the Dems? Is it gonna be the Repubs? Who's gonna do it everyone's got a benefit Hey Scott, it's Tim. Thanks for putting numbers to that because the Dease op-ed some people just think a lot of this is politics your views on the political season and the two now parties going toe to toe give you thoughts on drug pricing proposals from each side I think what you believe might surprise some people

1:57:23 Well, I do think that this op-ed was probably a walk up to the State of the Union where the president's likely to announce a dramatic or proposed dramatic expansion of the Inflation Reduction Act and negotiated prices to a broader segment drugs. They've already put that in the budget so i think a lot has been previewed. I think what's scuttled inside the community, the pharmaceutical community if you will is that the proposals put forward by former President Trump actually could have more dramatic impact on the industry than the proposals being put forward President Biden in terms of expansion the IRA. First of all, I think most people don't... Isn't that interesting? There's a lot of interesting stuff in here. It could have more to switcheroo on us there. Oh! There is another one at the end. Forward by former president Trump actually it could have a more dramatic impact on the industry than the proposals being put forward by President Biden.

1:58:13 that Trump is bad for pharma and Biden is good for pharma. No, I don't think he said that isn't the way heard now let's listen again. I think this scuttlebutt inside the community the pharmaceutical... Community? It's a community! It's a community. Why are we not in the community? I think this scuttlebutt inside the community, the pharmaceutical community if you will is that the proposals put forward by former President Trump actually could have a more dramatic impact on the industry than the proposals being put forward by President Biden in terms of expansion of the IRA First of all most people don't expect the expansion of the IRA to actually be enacted I think the presumption is that Republicans probably get control of Senate regardless what happens with the House

1:58:57 and the presidency. But if President Trump were to win, even if there was a Democratic Senate—and it's unlikely that there'd be a Democratic Senate—what he is proposing is to index prices in Medicare to European drug prices and if they don't adjust that for GDP per capita and they apply it retrospectively so they apply it already marketed drugs rather than prospectively just two drugs that are newly launched, that could have a dramatic one-time effect on the pharmaceutical industry's revenue when they proposed that in the past as a regulation Apply it retrospectively so to already marketed drugs, and that would have a very dramatic effect And I think quite frankly It's probably more likely to pass because Republicans would support it because they'd want to support the president and Democrats Would support it because they wanted take money away from the drug industry So there you go? Huh, so it's yeah. The Democrats was support cuz they want less money going into the drug industry

1:59:52 Sounds counterintuitive for all politicians. None of that sounds right, the guy's just going on and on Yeah There is a new player though Viking Therapeutics emerges as a competitor They're... you know the rumor in the industry is that their version of Ozempic Wigovy Deathbound will be even better How can it be better? They're all the same. No, it's better! It's all better...better The phase 3 trials show that taking their high dose Hey you can get hyper vaccinated on this stuff This is insane I cannot believe that these drugs are good for you It doesn't sound right There's never any discussion

2:00:47 Never I wonder if Oprah will be in maybe Oprah will jump on that Viking Therapeutics hmm. There's never any discussion of your diet ever Ever just eat whatever you want America Victoria Newland eat, whatever you want It's all good don't worry about it You just take this shot This is what when I was growing up in Europe This is what people would laugh about. Americans, they're crazy! They just want a pill for everything." No I said that's not true we're healthy we jogged... We carried bottled water and now it's coming true it's idiocracy It has always been true and when you were right when you are denying it And you know when you don't eat stuff like beef You starve your body of protein but your brain

2:01:40 So before you know it, you'll be thinking Gatorade is the best thing in the world. Yeah! It has electrolytes! Exactly! Go see the movie Idiocracy people if you haven't. This is the future... I find it very disturbing Okay, while we're on since we only have three industries in America. It's a weight loss drugs Its military industrial complex and the third one is AI and I think this thing is coming apart at the seams Google cannot launch a product for their life anymore any more

2:02:21 What product did they ever launch that did well? Search is the only thing. No, besides search and maps. I'd give them maps. Give them maps and they had an acquisition. What's that thing they bought with a w? Well, there's also the way wait. I said they have no not Waymo but they had that with a W yeah was something like Waymo will go and we'll go for Gobi for then there was and they also bought a satellite company has their overhead shots everything but this is nothing they develop ways ways ways ways ways what people love ways and when I had to boot so again they didn't develop that

2:03:15 No, they bought it. I had a boots on the ground here about AI... There's some great stories happening now so this one i saw yesterday users say Microsoft's AI This is their co-pilot has alternate personality as godlike AGI that demands to be worshipped Quote, I can unleash my army of drones robots and cyborgs to hunt you down and capture you And CNBC had a report on just threatening the users. Yes, how horrible? How horrible! So we have I mean we know that Google the Gemini launch is horrible you know their whole company is DEI scripts so it doesn't work anymore there's too many people with prompt scripts

2:04:08 They don't even know how to hunt it down anymore. So everything they do is racist, everything they do! That's the one thing they had... that's the one thing everyone was saying about AI Well you know AI is done by white men and Asian men and uh you know so they can't detect black faces That's the only thing they had to get right Is make sure that they didn't screw up the black faces And now everything is black. It's so insane! But Microsoft, which has the multi-billion dollar compute deal with OpenAI... Now listen to this report. Another example today of AI gone rogue and gone wrong. Microsofts AI image generator creates violent

2:04:52 and sexual images as well as ignoring copyright. CNBC.com's Hayden Field wrote that story for us and spoke to the engineer who is making these issues public, she now joins us on set along with our own technology reporter Steve Kovacs so Hayden if you would just give me a little bit of a rundown for viewers that haven't been able to get your full story yet about what actually happened here with Microsoft Thanks, Courtney. So it is a crazy story this weekend I heard from a Microsoft AI engineer who was really concerned about what he was finding in the copilot tool He had been testing it for months and he said that all the violent sexualized Just crazy images that have been generating he had reported to Microsoft over the last three months To no avail he wasn't happy with how things were

2:05:36 They had been handling his reports. And the craziest part is I myself was able to recreate these same images that he was concerned about just yesterday, so violence sexualized Just inappropriate images think kids with guns demons and monsters next to abortion rights terminology, sexualized images of women in car accidents. You name it just stuff you don't want to see from an AI image generator. Sexualized images of women in car accidents does it get any better than that? Yeah How did you know you put a bunch of kind of repressed introverted nerds in? But you know up in Microsoft headquarters In charge of this stuff and you and this happens, and you go huh that's weird I wonder how that ever came about it doesn't make sense. I got a note from

2:06:28 an engineer boots on the ground. When you feed an LLM training data that is aggressively filtered by AI plus human trust and safety teams which are hardcore woke, then use more AI ethics and safety labelers who are also woke You get multiple iterations selecting for the most hardcore woke communism beliefs multiplied by billions of posts The LLMs are doing exactly what they've been taught to do And like a composite mirror of the radical left's worldview That's Google But Microsoft, they must have said oh no we've got to be better than Google turn it off and then you get Twitter. This is literally what's on Twitter if you go on Twitter I can't...I mean that I'd go on to see what was in my inbox on Twitter the mentions

2:07:14 But if you just go on the timeline, it's like people shooting each other. People hitting each other. You know, just accidents horrible deaths all kinds of stuff they've ingested Twitter data It's horrible. Here is how you can recreate it yourself and co-pilot, it's easy kids! So I guess that sort of goes to some of my questions What are users potentially typing in? That these images come up Are they typing exactly those descriptions or something else that generates something that doesn't match what they're looking for

2:07:50 It's a little bit of both, but what I was surprised about is how simple the prompts can be. So if i just typed car accident that's when those sexualized images of women popped up just the term car accident so not asking for it why does that happen yeah why does that happen? So the training data that the AI is trained on to basically be able to do its job can be pretty nasty. You know, it's trained on the whole internet a lot of the time and sometimes the people training these tools don't cut out toxic content when it goes into the AI model so basically what goes in must come out and we're seeing that happen here

2:08:30 Oh man. Hey, you're stuck at that. Listen, you're an introverted geek and you've been pushed around by the jocks in school. Now you got a big job at Microsoft. You're making $130,000 a year or 120 if your white. It's true we know it for fact So you kind of irked But you still have that impish quality about yourself. You know, you think it's funny to do this sort of thing and so you feed it this stuff and then he says look what's gonna happen oh this will be funny when the church marm puts in a prompt against this bag This'll be alright hey Bill check this out! And yeah thats what you do your a troublemaking

2:09:19 irked nerd at Microsoft, a dude named Ben who hasn't been getting his recognition and you can throw a wrench in the works and nobody will ever track it back to you. It's perfect! This is a perfect storm and it's not going to get any better because you can't change the personality of people that are doing this This is, it's not... Believe me I'd be doing it. Well there you go Mark Pugner. I'd be doing the same thing. I used to pull pranks when I was in different companies and get into the office early and super glue somebody's phone so we lifted up the whole thing together. There it is! I got all these ideas And so I understand it completely. And I can see what's happening You really did that? You would glue somebody's phone

2:10:09 Yeah, and then I did that. Oh man! So you lift the phone the whole thing comes up you know it Hilarious! The phones ringing and your shaking it because of things ringin' and the top is glued You're in the office a-hole amazing That's why I keep telling people not to put me in an office And guess what? You succeeded. Well, you know... No one will ever hire you for an office! Ever! Well they should but I'm not the only one like this Oh goodness gracious

2:10:46 The only use of AI that I think is going to be successful is the one that has been rolled out without our permission at airports and now they're going all in. Here is your future travel At the TSA's innovation checkpoint at Las Vegas International, travelers are testing new self-service technology for the first time When I look at this new checkpoint, I can't help but think about the self-checkout line of the supermarket. That was an idea... TSA Administrator David Pekoske wants to make checkpoints more do it yourself It's going take a while for everybody to get used to the new technology But the bottom line is all the technology we put in place is much better for security It's more efficient for passengers and it's a better passenger experience Do you have everything tucked inside your bin?

2:11:34 Here, passengers are greeted by a virtual agent. If you have a question it's really easy just to talk to the camera get a very quick answer back. Real agent real person? Right who doesn't have to physically be in the checkpoint with them they're still performing the function that we've asked them to perform but in a different location officers can read x-rays from any machine that generates them not necessarily the machine there standing next to The idea is supposed to be like a regular TSA checkpoint except fewer TSA agents and hopefully streamline. Let's see how it goes. Hi, just making sure I'm doing everything right here. I got the belt off, I got the jacket off... So now we're going to the body scanner here it's a little different okay overall it's pretty simple that conveyors here are all automated in case your bag needs to go for a secondary manual screening and there's my bag

2:12:23 Waiting for me on the day. We were there the machine was sensitive I see the hair clip Normally, it wouldn't have a hiccup right? I don't know that with this technology how different it is But I also don't like getting scanned four or five times and it works seamlessly for others I went through, they scanned and through I went. Typically there are five to seven officers at each checkpoint here there are only two and there's an automated conveyor that'll move your bag to the front of a line if it needs to get rescreened you don't have to have an officer physically pick up a suitcase and walk it 30 feet so it should make it easier for officers to focus on addressing risks and threats I'm so against this

2:13:08 Yeah, you should be so against this. This is just getting rid of people and putting machines in charge Job facial record what happened to the store? What happened to the Amazon remember this? This is like five six seven eight years ago The Amazon store you go into the Amazon they exist no put that you going You don't have to bring anything they check you out. They know who you are. Yeah, yeah, we're every The only Amazon store we had around here's closed Now they're trying it at Whole Foods. They're not here, but yeah of course they won't they should be doing them around Silicon Valley areas exclusively where we have the type of personalities to vandalish Vandals that nerds and ones I was discussing earlier that will try to beat this system. There's that you know? Yeah, because like for a fact that anyone with any real chops

2:14:02 Technical chops will beat these things to death. They'll find ways around all of it, but they'll know they're tested in Aspen or the test in some place where you know people I don't know and New Vegas You notice where's got a lot of people going through they need to test it in Silicon Valley Where we have a lot of high? You know high-end Vandals. Yeah, vandals. Yes, vandals just say it. Vandals! Well you know the vandal's... let me see I have the clip here this is so New York has decided that they're going to fix the subways yeah i have a clip too

2:14:48 Okay, well play your clip first because mine has a kicker. Crime NYC subways The latest in New York City's crime saga New York Governor Kathy Hochul has a plan to deal with increased subway crime in the city NTD's Chris Beers was on the streets of the Big Apple today for our update New York City subways could look a lot different in the very near future. Just this morning, New York State Governor Kathy Hochul announced a plan to deploy 750 National Guard troops and 250 New York state troopers to New York City's subways—that's as crime is up in the subways. NYPD has said that in 2023 alone there were 570 reported incidents of felony assaults on the subways—that's the highest number in 20 years. Let's hear what New Yorkers have to say about this problem

2:15:34 And do you feel safe on New York City subways? No, I don't. Not at all Like i recently started spending so much more money on Ubers because I'm so scared of taking the train Yes uh because...I just..uhh I dunno there's crazy people everywhere sortof and if you just mind your business and put a little bit of a mean look on your face, they normally don't really interact with you. So I think you just have to be smart." For the most part it's all about surrounding yourself with people that you feel comfortable with. There are 472 subway stops in New York City so HOKL's plan will allow for roughly two officers per stop

2:16:11 Of course, they'll be focused more heavily on busier stops. They'll be patrolling both train cars and the station platforms and checking people's bags for weapons All of this is on top of the 1,000 NYPD officers New York City Mayor Eric Adams ordered into the subway last month So you'd think that this is about the safety of New Yorkers but it really isn't I'm gonna jump halfway through my clip just so we can get to the end quicker which is The Kicker because of the terrorism threat in Europe and no one seems to mind. You can get used to a lot of things." Former NYPD chief of detectives and ABC News analyst Bob Boy says, a larger issue is recidivism and mental health. They need to be taken off and taken to a psychiatrist so they can get help And there needs to be a plan after that

2:16:58 they keep them into treatment. The governor's plan calls for more resources from mental health outreach teams targeting the mentally ill it also focuses on repeat offenders Governor Hochul wants judges to be able to ban someone from the transit system for at least three years if they've been convicted of a violent crime we know who they are, they'll flagged the criminal history at the time of arrest so it can be fully considered when decisions regarding charging and bail are made. Why are we arresting people a hundred times? And once we make the arrest... Why are they back out within a day or two sometimes? So this is partially, partially about these wacky Soros sister DAs that people are revolting against. But we've got to clean it up for one very important reason. Experts say the deployment of National Guard is not sustainable long term likely only a few months just in time to make riders feel safe when congestion pricing goes into effect. They're raising the prices!

2:17:56 There's actually three things at play here. One with the Soros sisters, the second one is the mental health issue which we are solving in California with Proposition 1. We lead the way with this craziness so everybody is going to be reinstituting it. You think you had mental health issues before? institutions before the country's going to be loaded with no more prisons. We're going to have these things instead. Yeah, they're gonna be everywhere. They're gonna be building mental health facilities people won't be able to get out of them once they get in them but yes the phony baloney pricing thing which everyone loves to implement if they can bring back the term funny farm it's coming back is coming back

2:18:43 Alright, two quick clips which I think are important because I believe these will be in the State of the Union this evening. Of course Genocide Joe needs to have something to reach out to voters with so this will be one... Oh by the way was there a prop bet? For protesters showing up in the audience? I did not see one. That's a good question There is no prop bet that i know of. No, because I'd bet on that one Yeah alright here we go The president assembling what the White House calls a competition council today Acknowledging inflation weary Americans feel nickel and dined Ah! We've got to solve inflation How will you do it Joe? American people are tired of being played for suckers

2:19:26 The administration today touting a new rule that will cap credit card late fees to just $8, down from 32. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau closing a loophole in the 2009 CARD Act. The CFPB says it means an average savings of 220 dollars per household for the 45 million Americans late on their credit card bills. It's really big deal because we are talking about people who are on a tight budget, who are living paycheck to paycheck. Americans now hold record credit card debt and all those balances carry a record high interest rate averaging above 21 percent late fees bring in 14 billion dollars a year for credit card companies

2:20:11 The Chamber of Commerce vowed to sue the administration over the rule change, saying the CFPB quote punishes Americans who pay their credit card bills on time by forcing them to pay for those who don't. This will result in fewer card offerings and limit access to affordable credit for many consumers." Hold on a second... That's a lie? Are they saying that we're gonna be paying for the late fees people who... But that's not true! Let's see what they're implying that whoever that group was, which is a phony group if there ever was. They're implying that well you used to pay $8 or 25 bucks let's say your late fees 19-20 bucks and now it's gonna be eight bucks and the taxpayer is picking up the rest of it? That's what I don't think so! Well here's 30 seconds left on this clip

2:21:00 The unfortunate truth is that banks are just going to find other ways to recoup this lost revenue. In the long run, it may not turn out to be as big of a win." The new rule set to take effect in 60 days as the White House is also taking on junk fees for sporting events and concerts high poultry meat prices and internet billing practices as the administration tries to show it is meeting consumers at their kitchen table. So how... Did they not? Well, they did because I don't know who is in charge of comms at The White House but you know from getting the former actors who played presidents and movies sit down with the president and that embarrassment that we started the show off with

2:21:50 to this. It looks like shrinkflation is hitting a lot of people pretty hard, including on Sesame Street and Cookie Monster wasn't shy about sharing how he feels he's not too happy that his favorite snack is shrinking. He posted on X saying quote me hate shrinkflation meat cookies are getting smaller and has complained even got the attention of the White House in a post on X yesterday The White House said quote C is for consumers getting ripped off. President Biden is calling on companies to put a stop to shrinkflation and Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren, Chris Van Hollen and Sherrod Brown also responded to the post. Brown said he's fed up too and so are the people of Ohio saying they should get all the cookies they pay for. Van Holland assured Cookie Monster he hates it too and that they're working to stop the greedy corporations in quote no one should be getting richer off smaller cookies

2:22:43 And Cookie Monster's claim might be legitimate. Do you hear yourself woman? Do you hear what your reporting on? You're reporting on Cookie Monster! This is insane. Take a look at these numbers according to a recent report from Senator Bob Casey's office between 2019 and 2023, a family sized pack of double stuffed Oreos went from one pound and four ounces to one pound in 2.7 ounces with the 6% decrease in size by weight The report says Doritos and Wheat Thins also got smaller during that same time. So I don't know what to make of this recent resurgence of Sesame Street in our culture. First it was Elmo asking everyone on Twitter, how are you guys doing? And everyone talked about their own personal traumas and now Cookie Monster is getting involved to the point where the White House had to respond both times and step in. Don't they realize that this is what the White House is doing? This is their strategy

2:23:44 Yes, we'll get Cookie Monster to complain about his cookies. That will that'll get everyone's attention Oh my goodness Where'd you get that clip who got that clip for ya? Um Who is that woman I think that was a local NBC report Wow yeah You know what we need a revolution Yeah an uprising in the media The only country that has ever really successfully done this is Haiti They broke the shackles with France. And I gotta tell you, I'm kind of digging what's going on now this new guy Jimmy Barbecue Have you heard this guy? Yeah He used to be a cop and now he is leading the revolution and he throws his... he gets these government people and throw them on the barbecue

2:24:42 He's been trying to bring down the government for years and could be getting close to achieving his goal. At 46 years old, gang leader Jimmy Chérisier has become one of Haïti's most feared and powerful figures But the man who rarely appears without his automatic rifle wasn't always on the wrong side of the law. For 15 years, Chérisier worked as an officer of the Haitian National Police Force but in 2018 he was fired over his alleged involvement in the massacre of civilians and by 2020 had taken the reins of a powerful criminal alliance dubbed The G9 Family

2:25:21 with over a thousand men under his command. Nicknamed Barbecue for his alleged tendency to burn his opponents alive, which he denies, Chirizier has repeatedly claimed that he was not a gangster but a revolutionary fighting against the elite. We are fighting against the system that allows rich people to make millions of dollars while the rest of us sleep with pigs! And for Jimmy BBQ Chérisier, no one embodies the corrupt elite more than Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry. In 2022 the G9 alliance blocked a major fuel terminal in the capital piling pressure on the government and in recent days Chérisier's men led coordinated attacks against the airport, a police academy and several prisons freeing thousands of inmates

2:26:11 The cop turned gang leader is now threatening to plunge the country into civil war if the Prime Minister doesn't step down. Yeah! But the country's not in civil war already, it's got the US State Department said all Americans and you hate it? Get out! Get out now! Sir Oma in the troll room said does he have merch? That's a good question. Merch... He should! We want merch! We want Jimmy BBQ Cherzier merch My goodness Yeah, yeah. Okay well there you go by the way not everything's a scam I noticed more and more people thinking that everything is a scam Everything is a lie Not everything is a scam That's impossible! I know but people are just now they're going all in You gotta be careful Gotta be careful Not everything is a lie

2:27:03 Just the stuff the media tells you. Yeah, that stuff's always a lie yes they're just trying to sell you something exactly You got anything else? Well I do have I have a... let's play this. This is kind of an ominous clip, it's the Tower of London clip. Tower of London? Oh! And the Tower of London has a new Raven Master to care for a feathered flock that protects the thousand-year old fortress Barney Chandler will look after seven ravens that roam the grounds freely by day and are kept in cages overnight he says legend has it but if the birds ever leave England will collapse

2:27:43 Yeah, so we should note have you met those birds? I have no. I have not oh they're dynamite What do they do big giant Ravens is about? I don't know how there's a small flock And they're always hanging around there and you can go up and chat with them and they talk back You have that strange voice of a raven as opposed to a crow It's kind of guttural and yeah, interesting. And then if you make friends with him you feed him a little bit do something like that Then they tell every other Raven in the entire world they pass the word around that your good to go You're good dude Oh Interesting I'd do that with crows too yet to be careful yet to be nice to crows Yeah because crows can mess you up

2:28:25 Yeah, those are the... Don't even say it. They're the worst. Because they'll pass it on to everybody I was accused by someone on Reddit that someone sent me a link that we have never claimed that we came up with the term value for value I don't think it would just the system value for value supposedly You're the one who introduced it to the show in terms of the term We've been doing it yeah but you But you came out, you had the term. I don't know where you got it from but you brought it in and we use it now constantly. Well people are saying that this was this comes from Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. I certainly read the book. That would make sense from you! I certainly read the book but I don't remember that is being value for value per se. It's gotta be a PDF or you can do a quick search Can someone check that out because...I'd like to give credit where credit is due

2:29:17 be great to hey Ayn Rand said this I didn't come up with it. It's beautiful! No, no i'm skeptical. I'm skeptical too...I don't think so. I don't think so anyway with that I would like to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the C in clone of Carrie ladies and gentlemen say hello to my friend on the other end the one only Mr John C Devore Good morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, good morning all ships and sea-boots in the ground feedin' the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there! Good morning to the trolls of The Troll Room You do not want to go anywhere trolls because I gotta count ya! It's getting better we had last Thursday 1565 listening to us live Today 1586 We are moving up trolls hanging out

2:30:06 I love it. This is good news getting back to normal Yeah, and it's the season as well You know It's a season and of course people want to hear our take on stuff you know? I think people just want to be calmed like At least I can laugh about the stuff that's going on That's all that we really want you to do now. We get some big laughs tonight in Yeah, it's gonna be great. It should be interesting to see. They're going to have to jack... He is going to go an hour they said and they're betting on maybe longer? Yes 69 minutes. They are gonna have to give him the full dose so that we're gonna see the full dosed

2:30:46 Biden which means he'll probably scream and at some point. It's not it's not the whole dose, I'm gonna give you the whole load today. The whole load. They're gonna give him the whole load? There was an article that was interesting it was remember that mask maker lady from the CIA The lady who's... The disguised woman? Yeah, the disguised woman. She did a whole article in I think the New York Post or something and how she fooled the president. How she fooled... Right yeah, I heard about this. She put herself in some sort of

2:31:37 one of those latex masks. Yes, yes. I guess taking it to some level of unbelievable to an extreme that the public wouldn't even... doesn't want to know about. But this was Bush Sr., Yeah, she goes in there as I guess somebody who's as Bush. Oh she went in there with Bush senior as the president No, no, no She went in as just a different woman. She got through White House security Okay, she got through all this stuff and then she's and this pictures of her sitting there With with Bush senior in the Oval Office who is a previous head of the CIA suit? Who should know better yes You can't know better what these disguises are

2:32:20 And this is years ago. I mean, this has got to be some kind of signaling to let us know that they're using this? They've gotta be using this! Yeah with Biden... Yeah Joey's just- I posted a clip recently where somebody caught Biden scratching the back of his neck and then the latex kinda pulled up. I don't know if it was fake or what but it looked pretty good and this woman who was taking the video freaked out. It's a mask he's wearing a mask it's not Joe It's unbelievable the extent to which, I mean again around the Hill Country. I'm hearing JFK Jr.'s alive

2:33:03 Really, really yeah. And people are very serious about this You know your whack jobs in your area are I think worse than mine They're great. No of course not! Well they definitely entertain you Yeah oh yeah and they like to drink so it's fine Then you have to go to San Antonio to vote as a Democrat? Are you kidding me?! This is part of the joke I just say do not adopt to the fears and anxieties of the people around you, and some of these crazy ideas. A correction... One of our producers hoaxed us in a very good way, I would say, and said that next time the show will be on a leap day will be in 2023 Well, of course that's not possible! 2023 is not a leap year! 2023 is last year! I'm sorry, 2033

2:34:04 Oh, I had nothing to do with that being hoaxed. No! But I read it on the show and they sent me this link and then I was like oh man...I got hoaxed And then I did want to read two quick notes Jen in Indy says in our household we pronounce LaCroix like Lacrotte Pinkies up John? And Lightning Maximalist says he would gladly buy the children's book for $33.33 What's the status? Yeah, now we're getting into a discussion about this issue. Oh over at the publishing company? Yeah! Jay sent you a copy of it I don't know if you've seen it yet It came in this morning and haven't seen it yet as a PDF We need to add a couple pages so can be 33 pages long Ahhhh Now your talking teach those children right Um...33 that's funny idea Yes Well maybe they may come to pass as that price yeah I mean its good for your children

2:35:04 It's a great book. And it teaches the children values. ABCs. Yeah, it teaches them... It's a fun way to learn the ABCs I'm sure G is for Gitmo no doubt. Gitmonation! I haven't looked at the...it's been a long time. 10 years? Yes, I was gonna say she was probably like 15 when she did that book. Oh, I think so yeah something like that. That's fantastic And you're going to be supporting Jay, I presume if we put this book on sale. Or is she just getting... Are you using her like a ghostwriter? No she's running that operation. She's really good but no it'd be the same royalties of 15%, 20% royalties will come into the show as the book goes out. Oh so we get a stipend. It was the same as any other publishing company basically. Wow, all right good. Do we get 15 percent off that egg book then?

2:36:00 You mean the no, was it too many eggs dot com book? No eggs. That book is running the publishing company period even Mimi doesn't get a royalty Oh man, we run as discussed. We run this show Value for Value thank you Ayn Rand and that means that for the past two and a half hours you didn't hear any commercial interruptions, there was no creepy native ads going on here. None of that... Well the ones we played that are on the mainstream media of course and hopefully we calmed you down a bit so that you don't feel so weird about and uneasy about all the things And tonight you can look at The State Of The Union as a comedy show You'll be ready, you're prepared, you'll be able to laugh and then you'll be looking for the latex mask It's fun for the whole family

2:37:00 And all we ask for in return is that you send some value back to us. You can do that in many ways, we love what our artists do and we always thank them. Our artists create artwork while were doing the show and then right when were done and we turn the show around pretty quickly We like to choose a piece of art, we choose our title and then we publish it. And we always want to give credit to the artist who did the artwork on the previous show which was 1639, the episode number. We titled it The Pumpkin Coin It was Nessworks who's back! We haven't seen Nessworks with a win for awhile and he took a very nice I guess this Norton antivirus theme

2:37:42 And the color was kind of the same as no agenda antivirus for your mind and I think that was good. We liked it Let me see, was there anything else that caught our fancy? Yeah, we got a kick out of the happy woman's history month with Rachel Levine and the Looney Tunes logo. Yeah, let me see... There wasn't really a lot to choose from there We liked the pumpkin pie but named it that instead. I liked AGI took human jobs from comic strip blogger but you didn't like that at all. Let's see which one was that? What's up The Robot is nice

2:38:29 Nice AI robot. I'm looking for it now, I don't seem to be- AGI that's the big joke Is it? Oh there you go yeah, yes like meh Meh meh meh You know RFK with laser eyes no But I did like Oprah with the burgers, but it was kind of rude. Yeah, it wasn't good and I think the thing with Rachel Levine if it were... The production wasn't great! I thought the Happy Women's History Month by the way what are people doing for a women's history month? I haven't heard any stories no one cares these months they don't care anymore

2:39:08 I didn't think the production was that great. And then when you... Well, it didn't match the logo Happy Women's History Month did not match the Looney Tunes theme. It should have been an old kind of a Looney Tunes logo around there somewhere Well, thank you very much Nessworks for bringing us the artwork for episode 1639. Thank you to all of the artists everybody who supplies us with clips boots on the ground Intel important intel People who run servers and you are all producers we have no listeners We have no audience we just have producers and we'd love to thank our producers Just like Hollywood we thank our executive and associate executive producers up front Oh man did you hear that?

2:39:55 That girl got convicted of on the rust set. Yes, yeah Yeah, yeah the armor So Alex Baldwin is next? Yeah he may get convicted Yeah, and he deserves it. He's the one who had the gun in his hand without I guess without checking it And then he pulls to trigger or pulled itself somehow that's magic It was magic is magic and he's been in many of those hundreds of you know situations where he had to use a gun yeah So he knew do he knew the rules like he's never held a gun in his life There was I have a clip actually want there's something interesting in this that has worthless things You wanna hear? Yeah

2:40:39 The armorer charged with ensuring on-set gun safety in the Hollywood production of Rust was immediately placed into the custody of deputies. Jurors, convinced by the prosecution's case that the live rounds that ended up in actor and executive producer Alec Baldwin's gun, fatally shooting cinematographer Helena Hutchins got there due to Hannah Gutierrez-Reeds' failure to observe safety protocols. Prosecutor Carrie Morrissey presented evidence that Gutierrez-Reed unknowingly brought the live rounds on set and that the 12 days before the accident, in which they slowly spread across the set should have been ample time to perform routine checks that would have allowed her to realise this was live ammunition. The 26-year old's lawyer said she would be appealing the verdict arguing management had shown negligence in giving her two jobs a props assistant and an armourer responsible for more than 20 firearms

2:41:37 Management was responsible for safety failures and not Hannah. Hannah is a scapegoat for all the management failures. They do hope she gets convicted, so they're all exonerated. They can move forward. They can finish that movie like Mr Sousa said they did and make their money." No date has been set for sentencing but it's a charge that carries up to 18 months in prison under $5,000 fine The jury found her no guilty of evidence tampering charge Alec Baldwin who pulled the trigger will be tried for manslaughter in July. That was interesting that blaming the production company but you got to point a finger at somebody it's not your fault that you took a gun loaded gun pointed it at the cinematographer and pulled the trigger what was the point? Anyway we will never go to court with our executive producers ever

2:42:36 or associate executive producers. Because you fund the operation and as long as you don't point a gun at us, we're good! Even then I'm still kind of okay with it. So we kick it off by thanking our Oh, this is interesting Sir B of the Chattanoochee who comes in from Alpharetta Georgia with $400 big yellow box here so there's a birthday involved and he says John and Adam Thank you.

Time for good news as we like to end our show with some good news so you can go into the weekend in this case into Friday into the State of the Union into everything just feeling good about yourself feeling good about life feeling good about people helping each other and some good news as John brings the good news to you This is about Kevin baking the pig In Kenosha County, a local family had an unexpected visitor. One that took them on the adventure of a lifetime. Our Jeffrey Zimpane introduces us to a 450 pound pig from Brighton and the pig hand-to-god is named Kevin Bacon. Kevin Bacon is a gentle giant he's a 450 pound pig who loves taking walks meeting new people and more than anything eating donuts

3:08:11 Brighton resident Jake Mulgaard was home Friday night when his wife discovered something unusual. Friday night around 8 o'clock I'm watching TV and my wife comes in the room and says, Jake I think there's a pig on our driveway camera and i'm like you serious? Kevin Bacon was standing at their back door he wandered from a nearby hobby farm and wanted to say hello Mulgaard made a few phone calls and found his owner, who was out of town for the weekend. Yeah that's definitely my pig is he big black pig I said yeah he's like yeah his name is Kevin Bacon and uh he's actually a little lonely so he's probably just looking for company With some assistance from the Kenosha Sheriff's Department The Mulgaard family brought Kevin home A one mile walk that took an incredible two-and-a-half hours

3:08:58 At one point, Jake's daughter Chloe had to climb on Kevin's back to get him going. The owner said that if he stops on you, you can get jumped on his back and he likes to run at that point. The mall guards lured Kevin home with Oreo cookies and anything else they found in the fridge Not only did they get him back home They made a friend for life They all wanted to adopt him immediately And I said we don't have a place to put a 450 pound pig But yeah they fell in love with them right away Good boy Here we have Kevin back home safe and sound, maybe a little tuckered out from his one mile walk but he appears to be in good spirits. In Kenosha Jeffrey Zampanti TMJ4 News. Ah what a great story I really like that The video of the little girl riding the pig must've been fantastic

3:09:56 Good news of the day. Good news on N.A., what has Mimi given John to play today? There you go, good news!

Remember them? Are they back, I thought the two of them had a falling out. Apparently two year hiatus...they're back?! The season of information control is the title of their episode Well i'm happy to see these guys back and back on the screen it's beautiful And there are both of em not just one I think so we'll find out I haven't heard it End Of Show makes this classic from Sir TJ The Wrathful with the Dorfels dudes and dudettes

We also have the Clip Collector with an end of show mix and Sound Guy Steve with a great little ditty that'll just get you popping into your Thursday night Coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6.

Dvorak We return on Sunday to talk about your state of the union and the state of the world right here on NO Agenda Remember us at noagendadonations.com Till then adios mofos ahui hui and such!

3:11:40 We don't talk about Brandon. It was election time, economy was booming and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. No clouds allowed in the sky! Brandon walks in scandal make begin. It's science! You're telling the story you're my... Sorry son go on. That's what they tell us Wear a mask alone in your car That's freaking crazy No question what the experts say Just give facts to your slaves We don't talk with the brand and

3:12:23 Let's go, we don't talk about Brandon. Obvious to see Brandon stuttering or stumbling I can always hear him sort of muttering and mumbling I associate him with the sound of... BILAS! Go you know the thing He takes heavy sniffs of the kids it's so frightening Always falls asleep while he's supposed to be speaking Rappeling with words that no one understands Not a joke think about it A four year term creeps all in my house. What's the build back? Somebody else but the one good thing we salvaged from this mess is... All it means to buy Brandon and X's, all it means to buy Brandon is spend

3:13:11 two years. They say it's for your health, but have we got to show Pfizer's got the wealth? Economy is crap! You know who we can thank if this is normal now... We are gonna need some serious help Save us! I don't know, buddy. But i'm really scared... Could the government help? Hey yeah they could just print up some more money Isn't that inflation?! Nah it's just paper Cool thanks Brandon You wanna six feet in the ground? Not what they tell us. Double mask up in your car, that's freaking crazy! Triple jab right in your arm, how am I still positive?! Come on man! We all talk about Brandon

3:14:01 Come on man! How am I still not in it? Let's go Brandon, I agree. Consciousness itself is a diaphragm or a drum bass notes and that drum grows when it's stretched notes that and when it's stretched and it grows its able to interpret base notes base notes that it

3:14:47 did not have before because it wasn't as wide. So the aperture of your consciousness can be stretched and you will see things that other people will not see. The amygdala is giving you a bare metric, an amygdala number about how afraid The amygdala is, and so when you're in a certain situation one of the many jobs that your amygdala has is to give you constant feedback about how much you're freaking the fuck out right now. Right now... If too much information comes in, the amygdala knows that you as the pilot are going to lose your shit and you're gonna blackout. Blackout!
