About this episode

President Joe Biden issued a proclamation for Transgender Day of Visibility to coincide with Easter Sunday, sparking intense criticism from religious leaders and political opponents. The timing of the secular observance alongside Good Friday and the Resurrection led to accusations of a psychological operation aimed at the Christian faith. Simultaneously, the US Navy commissioned the USNS Harvey Milk in San Francisco, the first vessel named for an openly gay civil rights leader, while Pro-Palestine demonstrators disrupted the ceremony and Easter Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore has triggered a debate between mechanical failure reports and claims of a cyberattack or GPS spoofing. While maritime experts cite power outages on the Dali cargo ship, figures like Lara Logan and Naomi Wolf suggest more coordinated interference. The port closure has paralyzed the automotive industry, forcing BMW and Volkswagen to reroute shipments to Georgia. Meanwhile, the Biden administration authorized a multi-billion dollar weapons package for Israel including F-35A jets, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into Boeing supplier Spirit Aerosystems over manufacturing defects and DEI initiatives.

In a moment of high-society friction, the White House Press Corps received a formal warning to stop pilfering branded glassware and pillowcases from Air Force One. The episode also tracks the "death of the tie" as Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton appeared open-collared at a $26 million Radio City Music Hall fundraiser. John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry analyze the latest "Value for Value" milestones, including the knighting of Sir Chris and Sir Crocky into the No Agenda Round Table.

Biden Proclaims Transgender Day of Visibility on Easter Sunday

President Joe Biden issued a proclamation for Transgender Day of Visibility to coincide with March 31st, 2024, which also fell on Easter Sunday. Critics characterized the timing as a psychological operation intended to elicit a negative response from Christians. The discussion questions Biden's adherence to Catholic principles given the overlap of the secular observance with Good Friday and Easter.

Well it has been the transgender Day of Visibility on the 31st since Biden entered office and you know since he... I want to ask this question in general yes what kind of a Catholic is this guy Biden I'm just wondering, it just doesn't seem to match the general principles. No! At all! The president has to proclaim these things so he proclaimed it on Good Friday of course. Way to go Joe So it wasn't like they didn't know this is great He could have said you know what? I am proclaiming it on April Fools Day today That would have been funnier

USNS Harvey Milk Naval Ship Commissioning in San Francisco

The US Navy commissioned the USNS Harvey Milk in San Francisco, marking the first ship named after an openly gay civil rights leader. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi attended the event, where officials stated the military is strengthened by LGBTQ members. The vessel is an oiler designed to provide fuel and cargo to warships.

02:36 Or April 2nd for what all I care. Anyway, actually the...I don't want to jump to this clip but now you might look for humor Yes? I just think this is peculiar This was happened just a couple days ago This was the US Navy ship Harvey Milk And I have a clip here and it just warrants commentary. The US Naval ship named after civil rights leader Harvey Milk hosted a celebration in San Francisco this morning It's the first Navy ship to be named after an openly gay person, and one of six named after civil rights pioneers

03:12 Harvey Milk served in the Navy before coming to San Francisco, achieving the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade. He later became the first openly gay elected official in California. Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi reflected on Harvey Milk's own words as he was sworn-in as supervisor. Navy officials said that military is stronger today for the service of LGBTQ members. The USNS Harvey Milk is part of a class of ships that will provide fuel and cargo to Navy warships Okay, okay. Oh so here's what got to me yes So they have a gay he's a gay activist at the time He's the one of the guys murdered I would say he was an icon Twinkie guy he was a Guy con yeah, we made a movie about it a guy con. He's a guy con And so they put given it

04:01 It just seems to me if you sub maybe or a P even anything but an oiler for a gay guy. Oh, there you go I'm sorry There it is You know what? 15 forever brother! I love it You celebrate your 72nd on April 8th and you're still as funny as you were when you were 15. Is that April 5? I thought it was the 8th, no, no... That's your- No, April 5! No, April is some attack day, I'm not sure what that is. Okay, I'm sorry. Yes, April 5th. There is a meanwhile follow-up here to that clip if you want to play it. Outside the event at Pier 32 protesters gathered to sound off against US support for Israel.

CHAPTER 03 / 46 Discussion

Pro-Palestine Protesters Target Navy Ship and Easter Mass

Pro-Palestine demonstrators gathered at Pier 32 to protest US support for Israel, with some individuals chaining themselves to the gangplank of the USNS Harvey Milk. Simultaneously, protesters disrupted Easter Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan by unfurling a "Free Palestine" banner. The Navy clarified that the Harvey Milk is headed to Norfolk, Virginia, rather than the Middle East.

gaza· israel· st patrick's cathedral· us navy· protesters

04:54 Dozens of people chanted and waved signs as the motorcade left the event with protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. They also claim the ship is headed for the Middle East to provide support for Israel, but a Navy spokesperson refuted that claim saying the ship is headed to Norfolk Virginia where it will not be deployed for at least a year about half a dozen demonstrators made it onto a gangplank of the ship where they chain themselves to the game What kind of security does the US Navy have that a bunch of these protesters are making up the gangplank and then chain themselves, and have time to chain themselves through this thing? This is unbelievable. There were protesters this morning during Easter Mass at St Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan. Yeah? Yep! Came in unrolled a big banner Free Free Palestine Hey wrong building people

CHAPTER 04 / 46 Discussion

Francis Scott Key Bridge Collapse, Cyberattack Claims vs Mechanical Failure

Discussions regarding the Dali cargo ship collision with the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore center on conflicting reports of a cyberattack versus mechanical failure. While some media figures like Lara Logan suggest a GPS spoofing or hack based on intelligence sources, bridge engineers and maritime experts cite severe power outages and tripped breakers occurring days before the incident. The event is analyzed as a potential psychological operation to influence policy toward China or domestic infrastructure spending.

baltimore· francis scott key bridge· lara logan· military intelligence· cyberattack

05:47 You want Temple down the street? Well, they don't do that. No. Very, very odd. Well let's stick with the nautical theme for a second because I'm pretty sure and have some evidence of this that a lot of psychological operations which are very sad meaning you know your Twitter feed is a psychological operation so it's not like everything is a psyop but there is a psyop or couple psiops in play and it is my belief based on some evidence, I think that the military industrial complex specifically military intelligence is playing games with us. You think it's possible? Well, I held the DIA in much higher regard than the pickle factory CIA but they seem to be doing it only for money

06:45 You know, I know right? Whoa! Revelation. Well the reason why is that I have two women here who have spouses in the military intelligence or former military intelligence, which means you still have... I mean can you ever really leave the intelligence community? Probably not. You sign your life away so probably not No So we talked about my neighbor down the street Laura and now she is married to a former DIA

07:23 who I believe worked directly for Flynn. Maybe not, I'm not so sure and then they're sweet people but as we discussed on the previous show she really stakes her journalistic reputation on the line for this bridge thing being a hack, a cyberhack, a GPS spoofing and she got it as she said multiple places She got it from intelligence people, current intelligence people. So obviously if military intelligence wants to get some message out one of the easiest ways is to go to someone with half a million Twitter followers and you know one who appears on Newsmax and News Now and America Today in whatever all these programs are to spread this message

08:12 And I'm not going to read, but did put them in the show notes all anonymized. The unbelievable amount of boots on the ground that we have...I mean we have the best producers in the universe! This morning one came from a bridge engineer who said, no. Nope nope nope nope nope. All of these are pretty long notes and almost all of them said nope nope nope I think all of them said nope nope nope boots on the ground for one of our producers who was on the ship that hit the bridge in 1977 in Hopewell Virginia very similar very very similar we got one from

09:01 A very good one and with a great rant at the end from, now I know this spook personally who piloted naval ships for five years. He says nope nope this is not spoofing and everyone kind of lays out the obvious got a note from a trooper flight paramedic from the state police in Maryland who was flying over this while this all took place we have local boots on the ground just incredible people and I will take their word over any intelligence any day because they're on the ground. They've done this, and you know could we be silent? I ran one of these notes partially in the newsletter. Correct

09:49 So, and I will say that I myself have had in the past certainly before the 2020 election a lot of military personnel telling me things that turned out to be really crap. Yes! And of course I don't have a journalistic career to stake on it. It was like, I'm the MTV guy believe me! No one cares about that but it was through the ITV that I got a piece of information... that tells me that somebody is lying.

10:41 apparently blowing fuses in dock before it set out in the darkness. In a slowed version of the footage you can see the lights on the ship go off and black smoke emerge before the collision. Authorities have confirmed that it did suffer a power failure, A port worker has told us that the ship had experienced serious issues before it set off It was here for two days because it was a two-day working ship and those two days they were having serious power outages. Like I said, the reefer boxes that we have on there which is the refrigerated boxes they were actually tripping the breakers for our mechanics that were keeping the generators running on those while they were trying to fix the ship and it was just not...they weren't even holding that. They were tripping breakers on that so

11:25 They should they had a severe electrical problem the result of its malfunction today what the mayor of Baltimore has called an unthinkable tragedy Now this as far as I know this hasn't this worker who looked like a worker Yeah, she looked like one on the dock. You had the hardhat look real official This sounds very credible to me that, oh the refrigerator boxes are tripping the breakers this thing had it going on for two days. Now of course we haven't really heard this yet because as you know we're still looking for dead people and all kinds of other human interest stories but I think that this is being abused one

12:03 to possibly point the finger at China. That's what, because you know military industrial complex they want to pivot to China they want to build huge ships submarines want to reinstall bases on the islands the pivot to Indo-Pacific But I think also this may be used for some political means. I was talking to one of our producers, Eric. He says what you can almost just wait for is for Trump to start saying this has taken too long if it was me i'd have this thing restored in six weeks. Yeah and it involves building! This is true he can do that yeah so... To me this is a huge psychological operation and I'm just going to believe our producers

CHAPTER 05 / 46 Discussion

Naomi Wolf and Military Intelligence Claims on Border Invasion

Author Naomi Wolf appeared on the Dutch program Black Box to discuss illegal immigration in the United States, citing information from her husband, a former military intelligence officer. Wolf claimed that military-aged men from China and other nations are being stationed at strategic locations as a "staging area" for an invasion. She further argued that these populations are intended to replace Western citizens as part of a globalist plan to implement central bank digital currencies.

naomi wolf· immigration· military intelligence· globalism· replacement theory

12:47 and this particular dock worker, and I'm sure more will come out about it. Now the second military-industrial complex psychological operation is one that i've been looking at for a while And imagine my surprise when Naomi Wolf shows up in the Netherlands on a program called Black Box? Now I've been on this show before, and Ancilla works there. Now Ancilla was not doing the interview and Tilly's one of our producers, who has sent us a lot of stuff over the years. And I hold Naomi in pretty high regard for most of her opinions and she's influenced me in multiple ways including on my faith journey but here she is going to start repeating some tropes about immigration in the United States that come from as she credits here

13:48 Her former military intelligence husband. And it's 16.5 million people now just walked over the border, they're being airlifted, they're being flown to strategic locations around the United States, they are being housed in barracks type accommodation which never happened to immigrants before in my country and the same thing is happening in Europe. looks a little different, but it's been going on longer. But millions of people coming—no disrespect I'm the daughter of immigrants and the granddaughter of immigrants—but these people are being flown in from China, Uzbekistan, Afghanistan, Angola, places that export mercenaries

14:42 as well as Venezuela, cartel gang members whole cartels and you look at the footage my husband's a veteran and the former member of military intelligence he's identified that the groups coming in look like soldiers train like soldiers walk like soldiers stand like soldiers have military haircuts they're fighting age men Overwhelmingly, and they're being stationed at strategic locations throughout the United States in large groups. What is that? This is a staging area it's an invasion right at one signal these you saw the mayhem October 7th in Israel with a small group of terrorists crossing the border at one signal You could have so much chaos that the elections have to be suspended That's the or martial law

15:33 I mean, I'm sorry Naomi but you took her to a place that i did not expect from you. Wow! Oh yeah it'll suspend the elections uh okay military... This goes on almost every election cycle this There's a couple of things that have cropped up. This started with Nixon, I might add. They're going to suspend the elections and Nixon is by... this happened is going to crown himself king! Oh no like Trump oh my god And Biden he's gonna do it too Yeah so she gets this from her former military intelligence husband and I'm not saying that he is in the op

16:14 But I think that people are like, oh Naomi's got a... she's on the Banyan Show. Let's tell them about China and literally she said they have military crew cuts Well, I haven't not seen that yet. No, I haven't seen it either Why look at these videos which they show a lot of on Fox because they like to yeah And I don't see this at all I'll see this at all and she starts off right away with China and then compares it to October 7th That will have them on the inside ready to attack us well anyway was not the way October 7th operate know the way now So a second clip here, she's all in and this is this is a huge mistake on her part. She uses the term for illegal immigrants. Same thing as happening here but even if you just leave it right even if these are thoroughly peaceful newcomers

17:05 Oh, newcomers. Newcomer's I can't believe that she did that. Hold on a second. I was expecting you to say something like, you know, wetbacks or something the way you set it up. No, no, no. She says newcomers? That means she's oh, that's not... That's a boy! That's wow. Yes. Imagine my surprise. Same thing is happening here. But even if you just leave it right, even if these are thoroughly peaceful newcomers as Ed Dowd says. It almost sounds like she catches herself, doesn't she? She did! You could hear the oops in that three beat pause. Same thing is happening here but even if you just leave it right even if these are thoroughly peaceful newcomers

17:48 As Ed Dowd said so rightly, just wait five years and you'll have a completely different America. Now wait for it because now she takes us in a whole different direction! And a completely different Western Europe and in America... Why? Because well get there. In America the people who are injected will die off or be too weak to fight and the people who take their places don't come from countries that have a history of human rights or representative democracy And the same thing is true in Western Europe. So I'll tell you the why, and this is the same why that goes back to the end of America Western Europe and like Europeans need to wake up to the value of their own culture in their own history And this is not a racist thing to say it is just purely you know what Western Europe? Developed doesn't make you better than anyone else but They're precious things in your culture that you have to like realize in time You have to save and defend and fight for and the same thing with United States because

18:49 It's only the United States and Western Europe that are the last obstacles to this globalist plan, to create a feudal society around the world. And...and uh..to turn us into like nodes in a central bank digital currency you know vaccine passport thoroughly tracked surveilled um suppression society So I think she actually in the beginning there said these people would replace our military Are they attacking our military or are they replacing them? Make up your mind You know, this is psychological warfare. It is! And this is the hidden in plain sight that's taking place it is our own military and they're doing it just so we can sell more stuff That's all war is a racket everybody knows it Thank you Smedley Butler and This is just what its gonna be

US Weapons Package and F-35 Jets Authorized for Israel

The Biden administration authorized a multi-billion dollar weapons package for Israel, including 1,800 MK-84 2,000-pound bombs and 25 F-35A fighter jets. The decision faced criticism from within the Democratic Party due to the high civilian death toll in Gaza. Analysts suggest the timing of the report, which originated in Israeli media, may be intended to create political friction for President Biden.

israel· joe biden· f-35· gaza· weapons package

19:46 Which brings me to the 2,000 pound bombs they're shipping over to Israel. Hey this is I think this is a psyop from From the Israelis. Uh, yeah listen because I went looking for the initial Articles because I got the um hold on here's This is-I consider this to be a hit piece but let's just back up and explain what we're talking about Well I have a clip that explains it Oh good Let's do the clip and then we can uh deconstructed. The United States has authorized a multi-billion dollar weapons package for Israel according to several media reports It comes as President Joe Biden publicly acknowledged the pain being felt by Arab Americans over the war in Gaza. He has also faced criticism by some in his own Democratic Party The decision follows a visit by Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant to Washington this week The new arms package is meant to include 1,800 of the most destructive bombs used in Gaza

20:44 The White House declined to comment. Daniel, the US says it's concerned about Israel's conduct in Gaza Why then send 2,000 pound bombs which are highly destructive especially in densely populated areas like Gaza? Yeah that is a contradiction that has been discussed in the American media a lot No. Apparently the Biden administration doesn't see a contradiction here because it says it provides these weapons not to Prime Minister Netanyahu, with whom they have a difficult relationship at the moment and who is like of course calling the shots in the Gaza operation but that they're providing this for Israel's security I think for the Biden administration there are in a way in a lose-lose situation because its support for the Israeli military on the one hand and then

21:31 Its opposition to the behavior of the Netanyahu government or the other leads it into a difficult situation, into a quagmire. Netanyahu has successfully lobbied Congress not only the Republican Party but also the Democrats for many years and he's now cashing in on what he had been successfully doing over the last decades And on the other hand, of course Joe Biden has opposition inside his own party. Many young Americans not only Arab-Americans but young people in this country see that there is a contradiction in these policies and if you drive around here and in America you would probably see at the freeway a billboard which says your taxpayers money kills children in Gaza so

22:14 This is a difficult situation and Biden seems not to be handling it very well. This isn't up, this news reporting started in the times of Israel as far as I can tell. This is Netanyahu going oh yeah you and that douchebag who went to meet you? Our own guy? Yeah we're gonna take you down! And these bombs...I mean It's not like a new purchase or anything just part of the standing work order Though always okayed it and no one from the White House is commenting, okay? So to know the more interesting thing do this which wasn't even mentioned in that report is the 25 f-35 Yeah It's mentioned in The Times of Israel they did mention well I've got it mention all over the place let alone The Times of Israel. Okay, but I'm pretty sure it started with the Israeli media. I'm pretty sure You don't think so

23:11 The Washington Post is the first ones that I know reported it. Last Friday, they reported a quiet authorized arms shipment and unless you can predate from last Friday... But the point is they got It's a very strange situation because it seems to me that the way it was done, the way it was reported and everything else especially... What do they need 30-25 more jets for? Haven't they got their own damn jets?! It's just like how many more jets do you need? Do you have the pilots for them? I mean what is the point of the 25? Those jets cost 90 million dollars each. It's just to make Biden look bad! That's all I can see

23:57 I'm thinking the same thing. Yeah, just to make him look bad But I don't think it was...I don't necessarily think it was Israel trying to make Biden look bad. I don't think they understand the situation. And meanwhile Netanyahu is under the knife with full anesthesia and you know what happened last time one of the world rulers had this happen? You mean King Charles? Boris Johnson. Oh, that's right! Boy did they change that guy he came out a whole different dude He came out a whole different dude and so Netanyahu is going in I don't know okay He's going in for a hernia operation Ouch Under full anesthesia and it does happening as we speak Who's taking charge while he's under

CHAPTER 07 / 46 Discussion

Port of Baltimore Logistics and Auto Industry Impact

The closure of the Port of Baltimore following the bridge collapse has significantly impacted the automotive industry, as the port handles more light trucks and cars than any other US facility. Companies like Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen, and BMW are seeking workarounds, including using terminals at the mouth of the harbor or rerouting to the Port of Brunswick in Georgia. Processing tasks, such as installing accessories to qualify for EV subsidies, must be relocated until the channel is cleared.

baltimore· mercedes-benz· volkswagen· bmw· supply chain

24:47 I think Dick Cheney. That's a perfect time for a coup if there ever was one! Do it now! Before we get totally away from Baltimore, I do have some clips that want to play because they're more educational and they refer to what Baltimore really does there because it wasn't well explained but Three discreet three clips and they're kind of taken from two different shows that I pulled from NPR even though the one person. I think is the same About the cars did the business that is hurting is Mercedes. Yeah, remember That's what I said member I told you though no we talked about in the last show yeah But I didn't know all the details and the details are in these in these three clips And these would I consider these clips informational and this is a to me Wait a minute We're gonna give people some information on their show us try to just do deconstruction once they always step by information step back This is debate

25:46 Debate Baltimore update car info new in Baltimore crews are working on cutting up pieces of the collapsed Francis Scott Key bridge to remove it and large equipment has arrived to help including seven floating cranes ten tugboats and nine barges six people died in the collision before bodies remain missing Meanwhile, it's a worrying scene for the auto industry because the Port of Baltimore handles more cars and light trucks than any other port in the United States. And now most of it is blocked some car companies are scrambling to find workarounds to get their vehicles from ships to dealers

26:23 And Pierce Camilla Dominovsky says companies can use other ports and then send them by land to Baltimore. Once the vehicles come off the ship, there is really important processing that has to happen. This includes adding parts installing accessories on the vehicles. There's inspections, there's paperwork that has to happen before a vehicle gets the window sticker and that happens at the port. If you can't do that even if you've gotten them off the ship, you wouldn't be able to sell the car I would say especially the Mercedes-Benz G class, which is all EV. They have to install certain parts to even qualify for some of the subsidies. Oh! They have to be US parts in order to qualify for the EV subsidies

27:11 So that wouldn't surprise me that this is a problem for them. Although the CEO, he was on CNBC two days ago and he's like we're figuring this out of course he's like keep my stock up people Yes, that's why you go on CNBC. Everything is good! It's all fine! Don't worry about it everything is great Here's clip two What are the potential options? What are the alternatives? Yeah from my conversations there's three that really stand out One is there is a part of the Baltimore Port That is still open Right at the mouth of the harbor There's a terminal that Volkswagen and BMW use for their vehicles And that terminal has confirmed that they have the capacity to accept other vehicles too.

27:55 Second, companies could unload their vehicles at another port altogether and then drive them to Baltimore for the second part of the process. The processing I talked to the Port of New York in New Jersey and Newark they said they have been in conversations about this that they could take vehicles off a ship and put them right on a car carrier bound for Baltimore. And Scott one advantage of both those approaches for Baltimore is it would still support jobs port even while ships can't get through. The other is companies could use ports that are much farther away where they are already processing their vehicles so for instance there is the Port of Brunswick in Georgia

28:37 It's a long way from Baltimore, but the port says they have had conversations about being a backup option. And there are other ports up and down the East Coast that are also good candidates. They're places that companies are already doing this vehicle processing for other parts of the U.S. market It would mean a longer drive to dealerships, but a lot of ships go up and down the East Coast and stop at multiple ports. So it might not require a detour at sea. And it would mean the carmaker could unload them process the vehicle at the same port in the same place they already use basically their normal process until the drive. Well if I was BMW and Volkswagen, I'd be like hey Mercedes wouldn't be giving them any help

29:21 Yeah, yeah. I can see you being that way. So here's the thing... They're not American cars okay? The American cars is different. We're all one for all, all for one! This is a benefit to us that's for sure so this guy think there's a final clip just got a few little tidbits However does this mean that Baltimore could lose out on this important business in the long term People have really emphasized to me this would be an interim solution. Baltimore's location right in the middle of the East Coast, the expertise and equipment that Baltimore has for these kinds of vehicles in particular will still be there in the future I spoke to one supply chain expert who was very confident that this was not going to hurt the port's long-term outlook

30:08 All right, so now we're up to date. It seems... Thank you for that information I follow the thesis that this was an accident. I'm there too and there's been three of these in the United States in the past Yeah it happens And the newsletter had a nice piece by one of our producers who mentioned he has been on these boats when they come just after Right after their manufacture they immediately have electrical problems The boats yeah Yeah, the ships. They're junk! It's all junk? Yeah it's everything like everything else like that as I mentioned at the beginning of the show two Apache helicopters go down within 48 hours those Apache helicopters are made by Boeing Oh man yeah but Boeing is in trouble what was i reading about Boeing there's now websites that you can before you book your ticket

CHAPTER 08 / 46 Discussion

Boeing Safety Concerns and "Am I Flying Boeing" Website

Public trust in Boeing has declined following a series of mechanical incidents, leading to the creation of websites like amiflyingboeing.com for anxious travelers. The discussion notes that two Apache helicopters, also manufactured by Boeing, crashed within a 48-hour window. There is speculation that the company's struggles could eventually be framed as foreign interference by the military-industrial complex.

boeing· airbus· aviation safety· amiflyingboeing.com· apache helicopters

31:05 Yes, you mentioned that. You sent this to me and said wow this is not good. Yeah making it easier for anxious flyers to choose their preferred aircraft I think i'll choose that Airbus flight if you don't mind what's it called amiflyingboeing.com? Is that what yeah Amiflyngboeing.com Wow This is very, you know there's some thinking out there that you know the Chinese copied these 737. We've done stories on that in the past... Now I don't think the US airlines will be buying any Chinese aircraft pretty soon but I could certainly see international carriers buying them

31:49 They've been trying to get this in for a long time. How long until the military-industrial complex calls all of this, what's the word I'm looking for? Incompetence Chinese operations? I don't know but they're gonna have a hard time proving that one. They don't need to prove anything they just need to give it to Lara Logan Well... The idea that the DIA is messing with us is interesting because why not? Well for money, I mean it's obvious. Yeah the money is there, our thoughts are too. Not a little bit of money we're talking about. Laura's not a bad person her husband's on a bad person they think they're being used It makes me a little mad actually...it's not cool

CHAPTER 09 / 46 Discussion

Chinese Dirt Bike and Road Bike Market Expansion

Chinese manufacturers, specifically CF Moto, have successfully flooded the US market with affordable dirt bikes and road bikes. Initially viewed as lower quality, these products have improved significantly and gained market share due to availability issues with Japanese brands during the pandemic. This trend is seen as a precursor to Chinese electric vehicles entering the US market through established dealership networks.

32:44 You know, we were talking about BYD and Chinese vehicles etc. And there was an interesting note from one of our producers Emerson he says in response to the ongoing discussion of the potential for Chinese cars to be brought to United States I'd like to point to a parallel industry where they're already making big inroads cheap Chinese dirt bikes He says they began to flood the traditional multi-manufacturer dealerships back in around 2017. These were not outstanding products, but the price point and availability kept them flowing When the pandemic started good Japanese bikes were all held up at the ports Perhaps manufacturing delays in Japan as well these bikes became very hard to come by and was very annoying enter CF moto

33:29 A new Chinese road bike built on platforms that have been farmed out from other manufacturers. The bikes are okay, they already build many of the components for these other manufacturers. The prices are cheaper than anyone else's and the only real detractor is the stigma of a Chinese bike! They have absolutely flooded the market, will pose a serious problem for Japanese and other affordable makes and models. Following this model I can see an easy pathway for cars to enter the big box dealerships that already sell a variety of makes but you know there's a lot of these dealerships now, the no haggle dealerships? You've seen these i'm sure Oh yeah And it's like this is your price There's no haggling Buy it or get off the lot

34:11 Yeah, but the price is good. The price is good! Yes Now we have to note something which I've been trying to follow this as best I can Chinese manufacturing it often starts off crappy like these bikes might be But unlike our products which start off excellent and then deteriorate into junk Boeing an example, I'm guessing. The Chinese products tend to improve over time because as best price orientation they have another competitor comes in and makes pretty much the same product but sells it at the same price but is better quality and that goes on and on. Most of the hot high-end cameras today which are precision engineered for the most part

35:01 are made in China. The level of high quality product that comes out of China nowadays is pretty remarkable, so this frightening the fact that they took over the dirt bike business because they'll end up improving their product because they're very sensitive to criticism and you'll end up with just take it over your... You lost it! Yeah and ultimately best price matters Yeah, it's actually not a bad strategy. Well our producer here thinks that would be good way to especially with the port now this would be the time to strike! They gotta hurry up. Do what? Oh you bring in the cars? Yeah bring in some cars. BYD has got a factory as somebody pointed out is in Costa Mesa or Pasadena there's a place they make buses already

Lithium Iron Phosphate and Sodium-Ion Battery Technology

Chinese automaker BYD is utilizing lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are noted for being more stable and durable than traditional lithium-ion cells. Additionally, reports from Deutsche Welle highlight the development of sodium-ion or "salt" batteries as a cheaper, non-explosive alternative for electric vehicles. These advancements suggest China is pulling ahead in battery technology by reducing reliance on rare earth minerals.

byd· lithium iron phosphate· salt batteries· ev technology· china

35:53 And they have a new bat. They have about lithium-ion battery technology that doesn't blow up. Oh, please Yeah Okay I'm not gonna believe and I did a lot of research I used to be like the battery guy when I was writing for Forbes I don't do it as much anymore. You were the battery guy? I didn't know you were. I wrote a lot of columns about various battery technologies. Oh, I didn't know that! So i'm pretty good about battery technology and they use anode or cathode on these new lithium ions prevents and they don't use as much rare earths. The batteries last longer, they don't hold quite as much power but they're close enough and they last like 67% longer there's a fabulous battery are these the salt batteries? These guys at BYD make all of them

36:44 Are these the salt batteries? No, no. It's a lithium ion battery is called lithium I think it's called lithium ion phosphate battery They got an article from Deutsche Welle. Salt Battery Yeah yeah The future...yeah from Deutsche Welle It's not the future believe me Just reading let me read it! No I'm just saying to that guy not you It's Deutsche Welle Question will China pull ahead with battery technology transforming business when salt power e-cars rolled off the production lines in China and hit the headlines not only because sodium makes up one of our favorite table condiments, thanks Deutsche, but also because so far no electric vehicle has been able to run without lithium. And so Deutsche Welle here is saying that these lithium batteries or these salt batteries are cheaper and don't blow up and that they are the future

37:40 Now, I just heard you're the battery expert. So... I am and I'm unfamiliar with a salt battery so i'll look into this and I'll have it report by the next show Okay good very good Salt Battery Hey! I watched uh upon your recommendation I watched The Last Starfighter Oh, you found it and watched it. Yeah I was surprised that it came out in the 80s. I thought it was a late 70's movie. 1984 It is funny because you search for it on YouTube You get...I gotta tell ya thats kinda slick You get it on YouTube You get the trailer And then when the trailers over it says Would you like to watch it now? For $3? And you click yes and then your... I have my Google account connected to PayPal Done! I was watching

The Last Starfighter and Ender's Game Film Comparison

A review of the 1984 film "The Last Starfighter" notes its premise of a teenager being recruited by aliens after mastering a video game. The discussion compares this concept to "Ender's Game" and observes that while the original film has not been remade, its themes of gamified military training persist in modern cinema.

the last starfighter· ender's game· 1984· sci-fi movies· video games

38:29 And it was pretty good. Now, you said without evidence that the last Starfighter movie hasn't been reproduced where the idea was that someone was trained on... So this kid was trained on the video game then he got zapped up to another dimension to go and fight the evil empire but apparently Enders Game There was a couple of... what I said specifically, was the movie itself. Last Starfighter has not been reissued as they haven't remade that movie. They have used elements of it here and there i'm sure and somebody sent me a note listing a few of them yeah

Biden's Star-Studded Radio City Fundraiser vs Trump's NYPD Wake Attendance

President Joe Biden held a record-breaking $26 million fundraiser at Radio City Music Hall featuring former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. Simultaneously, Donald Trump attended the wake of fallen NYPD officer Jonathan Diller in Long Island. Media coverage of the Biden event highlighted a "show of force" and party unity, while Trump's appearance emphasized a "law and order" platform.

joe biden· donald trump· barack obama· bill clinton· nypd

39:19 No. All right, okay good. Without evidence the evidences look at the logs of movies I just wanted to say without evidence yeah you'd love to write in me about that no by the way the phrase is there's no and no no the phrase is President Trump said without evidence. That's how it goes. Well, there's that Oh speaking of so Tina was at Mar-a-Lago for this yes we need a report Yes will I have a report? We started off with where Trump was on the same day. Meanwhile, former President Trump was also in New York putting a spotlight on crime He attended a wake for an NYPD officer gunned down during a traffic stop The Trump campaign claims it will top Biden's fundraising record next week by bringing in 33 million dollars at a Palm Beach event. 33

40:13 So, oh my god I have a 3x3 about this if you want to play it before we talk. Do you want my report or do not want my report? We wanna do three by- I want the report but I think teasing it out might be- And now its time for Three By Three There is everybody Experiment by JC Dean Comparing stories from ABC CBS on NBC The never ending story That's right everybody, here are the top three news headlines from the top three ABC NBC CBS. Did they all draw from the same pool? Is it the same clips, the same nat pops what are we looking at John? What's interesting this is about to celebrate a big gala in New York with Biden and Clinton Obama yes and it was covered by the news media this when Trump did his he had a better idea to go to The Wake

41:02 And although he didn't get on the podcast with, was it... What's that podcast that just got a hundred million dollars? The podcast got $100 million and we get hardly 50 people donating. With Jason Bateman and Will. Yeah, what's the name of them? To be honest about us no sweat off our balls. And he drops the mic! So what's interesting about these clips is they had a female reporter do all, every network used the female instead of bringing any guys out. Are you sure? Or was it just someone who identifies? No that was Mary Alice Parks, Kaitlin DeHuey and Kelly O'Donnell. Smartless is the name of the podcast. Smartless. Yeah that's the name of the hundred million dollar podcast Amazon paid for that

41:59 Really good for them. I don't know what to expect to get out of it. Well, they've got a lot of ads. They got three presidents and a lot of ads yes exactly so let's go with ABC Tonight President Biden fresh off that record fundraiser A show-off force with Presidents Obama and Clinton by his side campaign claiming a $26 million haul in just one night. No press cameras allowed inside, the campaign instead releasing select clips. The president painting a stark choice for voters. This guy denies there's global warming and this guy wants to get rid of not only Roe v Wade but which he is

42:37 He brags about having done. He wants to get rid of the ability of anyone anywhere in America ever to choose and turning the tables on Donald Trump I mean all the things he's doing are so old speaking old You know, a little old and out of shape anyway. President Obama trying to energize voters around Biden's record. You've got record-breaking job growth you've got an unemployment rate that is low as it has been. The glitzy event at Radio City Music Hall

43:14 That sounds like a political party. Ladies and gentlemen- Which was designed to be a show of party unity, punctured by protesters blasting Biden for his ongoing support of Israel's war in Gaza. Shame on you! You are funding genocide and Those party divisions on full display. Today, Trump doubling down on his message of law and order after visiting the family of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller. It's got to stop we have to have law and order when you have people repeat this isn't a repeat offender this is ridiculous I like that she threw in penetrated by protesters and blasting Biden all in the same sentence

43:57 Well written, well written. I love alliteration yeah that really gets me you do and and i'll bet you they all had the same pop-pop-pop party from Lizzo didn't they? Ah...well let's listen to NBC and see what they had With a dramatic flourish, three presidents emerged. Democratic donors posted their images of this entrance at a glitzy New York City fundraiser needling a fourth president Donald Trump with a twist on the sensitive issue of age in this clip released by the Biden campaign and all the things he's doing are so speaking old.

44:43 You know, he's a little old and out of shape anyway. Anyway- Tapping into the political skills of Bill Clinton and Barack Obama to sell the Biden agenda. You've got record breaking job growth you've got an unemployment rate that is low as it has been for African Americans by the way lowest on record ever tickets started at $250 but donations soared as high as a half million for The Star Studded Knight The event raised $26 million, while outside a large and loud protest over President Biden's policy on the Israel-Hamas war. Meanwhile former president Trump created his own contrast joining mourners grieving NYPD officer Jonathan Diller who was shot and killed the suspect or repeat offender Mr. Trump slamming President Biden for not directly reaching out to the dealers

45:41 They could have called. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to know even a call would be perhaps, I'm not sure they'd take his call." Well so this was although they did not opt for the party from Lizzo they did have the same Trump clip and also literally said in the beginning that the party releasing this clip of Biden doing a very bad old joke whereas i saw some other jokes which were much better written So I don't know why they released that one, but they have an EPK electronic press kit. Now i'm curious what CBS did? They usually do something a little better. Well ABC and NBC's reports as you heard except for the fact that ABC had the protesters screaming and yelling which they left out of NBC which is

CBS and Les Moonves on Political Advertising Revenue

A retrospective look at former CBS CEO Les Moonves highlights his 2015 comments regarding the profitability of Donald Trump's candidacy for the network. Moonves stated that the aggressive political spending and "crap throwing" between candidates was "phenomenally good" for business. The segment suggests that media networks continue to prioritize the financial windfall of high-stakes election cycles.

cbs· les moonves· political advertising· donald trump· campaign finance

46:33 Yes, a democratic machine. This is the machine for the Democrats? They left that completely out they just kind of mentioned it in passing but it was an identical report other than that but let's see what CBS does. In New York City tonight a parade of presidents. Headline... Oh another good one! A parade of presidents I mean John I wish we could be that good In New York City tonight, a parade of presidents. Headlining an event at Radio City Music Hall that raked in $25 million dollars. It was 26 on NBC and ABC. Joe Biden's re-election campaign

47:12 It's a record for a political fundraiser bolstering Biden significant cash advantage even as he lags behind Donald Trump in the polls. Kamala and I desperately need your help because look there is only about six or seven states that are going to determine the outcome of this election The Biden campaign has 71 million dollars in the bank compared to the Trump campaigns nearly 34 million. He's gonna lose! Trump's legal troubles have been draining resources a super PAC supporting him spent eight and a half million dollars on legal fees so far this year including five and a half million last month A crooked judge shouldn't say we're going to have you post a bond and take

47:53 all of that money that I could be spending on a campaign. Sarah Briner is a campaign finance expert in a race this close can money move the needle? Money can definitely move needles and it's by getting just the smallest fraction of people to think about the race in the way you want them to think about it. takes a different approach and goes for a blatant sales job saying, oh that money's out there. You know it can make the difference you should advertise with us! Well they're smart because the idea is like old Les Moonves when he was there before he got cancelled He's always for the money yeah well you know Trumps good for the business We have that clip here

48:58 Great quarter, thanks to Trump. Yeah here it is! The advertising climate couldn't be better right now and I've never seen it this hot for a number of years Third quarter scatter was phenomenally good and fourth is even better than that It's 2015 So as the year ends and we move into 16 Guess what? In 16 We have an extra AFC champion playoff game We have the Super Bowl And we have a year Of political advertising that looks like it's shaping up to be pretty phenomenal. You know, we love having all 16 Republican candidates throwing crap at each other. It's great! The more they spend the better it is for us and go Donald keep getting out there and you know this is fun you know watching this let them spend money on us and we love having them in there We're looking forward to a very exciting political year

49:52 Great quarter everybody great you know I just dawned on me at this point that that comment go Donald May be the thing that got him cancelled not all the rest of it which could have been a setup for all we know Interesting, I never thought about until. I just reheard that clip for the fourth time Go Donald okay? You're out interesting interesting Yeah, it could be. That was... that was not smart. He was just being colloquial with all the financial reporters and the- Hey great Q Les! Great Q! Perfect yeah! It's gonna be even better next Q I have a report No

Stephen Colbert Moderates Presidential Fundraiser Panel

Late-night host Stephen Colbert moderated a panel with Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton at the Radio City Music Hall fundraiser. The event included scripted jokes about Donald Trump's golf game and democracy. Critics described the performance as "cringe" and noted that tickets for photos with the three presidents cost up to $100,000.

stephen colbert· joe biden· barack obama· bill clinton· radio city

50:37 I'm sorry. Okay, well but...I do have one more clip about this particular event Well let me play my report and then we'll do a clip and then I have some other stuff President Biden makes the big campaign stop in Big Apple today And it comes after last night's This is local Star-studded fundraiser where the current president and two former ones came together to break a record Our DC Bureau Chief Ben Kennedy is live in Washington with more Eden Calvin in response to that record you were talking about former President Donald Trump now plans to outraise Biden who had a multi-million dollar night. President Joe Biden boarded Air Force One Friday after campaigning in New York it's there he made fundraising history with the record setting 25 million dollars, in one star studded event with musical performers Queen Latifah and Lizzo

51:26 as Biden's two Democratic predecessors, Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined him on stage with late night talk show host Stephen Colbert moderating. Now listen to this written gag. How would you describe what's at stake in this election? I think our democracy is at stake. Some 5,000 supporters paid between $225 and half a million dollars a ticket with an option to get a photo with all three presidents for $100,000 as the group took aim at the presumptive Republican nominee former president Donald Trump. Donald Trump as far as we can tell has just been trying to win a third championship in his own golf course

52:03 My question to you, sir. Can voters trust a presidential candidate who has not won a single Trump International Golf Club trophy? At long last, sir have you no chip shot? Well look I'd be happy to play...I told him this before when he came into the Oval when he was being sworn in I said, I'll give you three strokes if you carry your own bag. A new national poll has Biden and Trump in a tight race in key battleground states with both sides opening up more offices and hiring hundreds of new staff in an effort to reach voters in lock-and-a-win come November. Can you imagine how cringe that must have been? I give you three strokes if he carries his own bag is the best that Colbert's writers could come up with for Biden? And he almost flubbed it too

NPR Fashion Segment on Presidents Foregoing Neckties

NPR aired a segment discussing the "death of the tie" after Presidents Biden, Obama, and Clinton appeared at a fundraiser without neckwear. Fashion historian Kimberly Christman Campbell analyzed the choice as a move toward casualness in Democratic politics. The segment suggests that ties are increasingly reserved for only the most formal events like weddings or job interviews.

npr· fashion· neckties· barack obama· joe biden

52:51 Jeez, that's just terrible joyful. Isn't one of the oldest jokes in the golf universe? I don't know. I only know a few golf jokes But I've never heard it before. It's not funny, that's probably why! Yet another clip? Because i have some stuff here... Yeah, I just got a kick out of this for a number of reasons and you can maybe guess one of them When NPR decided to cover this they didn't decide the cover the event necessarily. Oh yeah, I know which clip it is already They started this side to talk about neckties. The other day, Joe Biden Barack Obama and Bill Clinton three Democratic presidents were all in one place to help Biden raise money for his reelection campaign This by the way is the national treasure known as NPR This is not a campaign story though it's not a campaign finance story this is a segment about fashion

53:48 Because not one of these current or former commanders in chief was wearing what's typically a standard part of presidential outfits, a necktie. This prompted several men's fashion watchers on the internet to declare the death —or at least beginning of end—of the tie because listen if presidents are not wearing them at fancy events in midtown Manhattan then who is? To dig more into this critically important topic, I am joined by fashion historian Kimberly Christman Campbell. Hey Kimberly! Hey Scott how are you? Hi! How are you doing? What your first reaction was to the discourse or the pictures of this event wasn't really surprised to see this for a lot of reasons. People have been, of course predicting the death of the tie for at least 100 years but it really picked up after the pandemic and everybody went back to work back to the office. The tie did not right and like you said this has been a long time coming but is there something to the idea that they are far fewer ties in circulation than before? Absolutely!

54:47 ties have been dropping for a long time. And I don't think they're ever going to go away, but it's not surprising to me that especially at a Democratic fundraiser which was a slightly more casual event than say of White House press conference the timelessness was both a fashion statement and i think a subtle message to America. I don't think ties will ever go away, but they really are reserved for the most formal events. For weddings, for graduations, job interviews things like that and they can actually work against a man in a less formal setting because they may come off as stuffy or pretentious. Oh well i'm glad though for those one minute and 59 seconds from our national treasure. This is out of a 10-minute presentation it went on and on! Goodness yeah send back your tote bags

Trump's Presence and Security at Mar-a-Lago Fundraiser

A firsthand report from a Mar-a-Lago event for the film "Into the Light" describes the atmosphere and security at Donald Trump's Florida estate. Attendees included Vivek Ramaswamy, General Michael Flynn, and James O'Keefe. The report notes a lack of metal detectors for guests, though the Secret Service presence intensified significantly upon Trump's arrival from New York.

mar-a-lago· donald trump· vivek ramaswamy· michael flynn· james o'keefe

55:47 Well, this brings me to a little mini report. Tina was at Mar-a-Lago for that... There's a movie called Into the Light and it actually is about psychological operations I think it was part of a fundraiser for a group that goes and finds children who have been trafficked and rescues them And she was invited by some friends here, so she went for a quick overnight. And she said a couple of interesting things. She said Mar-a-Lago, by the way is very Florida. You know yes it's opulent I think was the word she used. Very Florida opulent. So not gaudy but Florida opulent No Ubers are allowed on premises. They rented a car and they had a nice valet

56:40 She was very surprised that there was zero screening, security metal detectors. Ladies didn't have to open their bags or anything and she was especially surprised because about halfway through the evening... And by the way Vivek was there? So hold on so they didn't.. There's no security? Did she pick up some secret folders while she was there? She brought me back a napkin She says, there was a goodie bag. What's in it? I left it there here's a napkin. Oh, okay well then there you go. Vivek was there and he spoke as General Flynn was there and he spoke and also there was James O'Keefe

57:32 And all he did all night was, he was on his phone. That's all he did! He didn't talk to anybody... ...was just on his phone all night which I thought was kind of interesting and halfway through the evening all of a sudden whoops put on the brakes he flew right back from New York and President Trump came in from the back of the room and she said now things changed he says the Secret Service was outrageously amazing it was just like this flood of people And then a hush came over the crowd and she said that she actually found herself, surprisingly... She was fangirling over President Trump. She said he has an aura that is unbelievable Yeah you know I ran into him once years ago when he was with Marla Maples and I felt the same way He has an aura

58:29 Yeah. It's hard to explain, it just has it you can see the guy is glowing as he's walking around and she took some pictures and he actually looked pretty youthful I would have to say so I don't know what happened there but he looked good He did have a tie on And uh...it was not his 2016 tie that's too long That always bothered me Uh..and I predict that he will never go tieless anywhere he shows up because it's a part of concealing his voluptuous belly. He will never show up without a tie and she said it was really quite interesting and he grabbed the mic and he spoke, you know she thought it was quite impressive

TSA Biometric Photo Requirements and Opt-Out Rights

The TSA has implemented biometric photo stations at various airports, requiring passengers to have their picture taken in lieu of showing a boarding pass. Travelers retain the right to opt out of this facial recognition process and present physical documentation instead. Concerns remain regarding the storage and potential misuse of this biometric data despite official claims that images are destroyed.

tsa· biometrics· facial recognition· privacy· airports

59:17 The only other thing she had to share is that now at all TSA, everywhere apparently where she was and you had multiple flights to get there. The TSA is now asking you to take a picture of yourself, a biometric picture and then you don't have to show your boarding pass." And she opted out. She said can I opt out? Yes! You can opt out, you have to show your boarding pass so this is now just standard operating procedure Your picture is being taken at TSA. Remember it was just a test in a couple airports? Now it's just... No, they want to do it that way And everybody's like, oh okay! That's great Yeah yeah, no it's easy Those things are pretty remarkable

1:00:00 Yeah, I mean you can't really disguise yourself and get away with it. No but the Upon some querying you know the answer comes oh no no it gets destroyed right away don't worry about it Don't know Oh Really like those x-rays of the naked women yes, it's still worried about it We destroy him we take him way right away. It's all good. Yes bullcrap Speaking of goodie bags and such, this was actually quite a little interesting tidbit that came in from the BBC. Details have emerged of a crime wave of sorts on the world's most famous plane. Branded items such as glassware and pillowcases have been vanishing from the official aircraft of the President of the United States Air Force One. The likely culprits? Oh please! Journalists... From Washington, the BBC's Will Vernon reports

White House Press Corps Pilfering from Air Force One

The White House Correspondents Association issued a warning to journalists after an inventory revealed branded items like glassware and pillowcases were missing from Air Force One. The email from Kelly O'Donnell stated that the "pilfering" by the press corps cast a negative light on the profession. The thefts were reportedly discovered following President Biden's recent trip to the West Coast.

air force one· white house correspondents association· theft· journalists· kelly o'donnell

1:00:53 A source has told the BBC that last month, the president of the White House Correspondents Association wrote an email to its members warning that removing items from the presidential plane is forbidden. Kelly O'Donnell said such behaviour didn't cast the journalists in a very good light and must stop. Reports suggest the press corps' pilfering was identified after an inventory was taken aboard Air Force One following a visit by Mr Biden to the West Coast. Several items were found to be missing from the rear cabin of the aircraft, the section reserved for reporters. On the next trip officials will likely be keeping a closer eye on the presidential wine glasses and hoping that journalists don't go home with anything other than a good story. There you go! Pilfering press! They've been stealing from that plane? Everybody who has ever been on that plane steals something. You do this what you do

Van Jones on Obama's Role in the 2024 Campaign

CNN commentator Van Jones discussed the necessity of a "full court press" by the Democratic establishment to ensure Joe Biden's reelection. Jones emphasized that Barack Obama is uniquely capable of reaching young African-American men who are drifting away from the party. The strategy involves deploying Obama and Bill Clinton to college campuses and battleground cities throughout the fall.

van jones· barack obama· democratic party· 2024 election· black voters

1:01:47 And they know it and they replace it. Remember when I was at Buckingham Palace? You stole something No, I wanted to steal something went in the bathroom to steal a towel or some soap and all they had was paper towel dispensers and Soap all bolted to the wall you know well yeah, they didn't want your stealing it well They're cheap if there are they are that she alright. I have some Anderson Cooper 360 here regarding Because of course, you know this is just amazing. It's just amazing and you can't underestimate what these presidents are doing for Joe Biden's campaign Here is the one and only hundred millionaire Van Jones I think that anytime a police officer loses his or her life That's a tragedy People should show up But the reality is that there is a big machine that has to be cut on for the Democratic Party

1:02:38 The Democratic Party cares about police, we can show that. But we've got to get this... I thought that was great! The Democrat Party they care about police? We can show that yeah by defunding them. The Democratic Party cares about police, we can show that but we've got to get this party pulled together and if anybody doubts Barack Obama in particular his ability to get some of the people back in this party, you got men leaving this party. You got young African-Americans leaving this party he can reach them in a way that nobody else can. Do you think he will be out there a lot? I don't think Barack Obama is going to sit this out I don't think, by the way i think we have two Obamas two Clintons and to Biden's who are not going to sit this out. I think you're gonna see a full court press from the top of his party... What? Well, I know when I first heard it like what if we got body doubles? I'm pretty sure they're talking about Killary and Big Mike. By the way I think we have 2 Obamas, 2 Clinton's and 2 Bidens who are not gonna sit this out! I think you're gonna see a full court press up from the top of this party to the bottom

1:03:37 because the consequence of a Donald Trump presidency part two is so catastrophic in the minds of Barack Obama or Bill Clinton, it just can't be allowed. So yes this unusual time that we're in but anybody who doubts Barack Obama's ability. Oh, well who cares? No no, Barack Obama can talk to people who are leaving this party and get them back and he has got six months to do it and he is going to play a tremendous role going forward. Ah okay so how will they be sent into the field? How will you dispatch them outside of the Biden-Obama Clinton event? Is the Biden campaign planning more these kind of joint appearances ahead or is it more likely former presidents Obama and Clinton will be dispatched separately onto the campaign trail?

1:04:22 Certainly this is not going to be the last that we see of the two former presidents and particularly I think former President Barack Obama. You know, the president probably is going to be hitting the trail a lot more especially as we get more into the fall our reporting is that he is likely to visit college campuses for example and also choose these key cities in key battleground states with the goal of course of helping to drive up enthusiasm among younger voters, as well as other key demographics like black voters and Latino voters. You know these are two men Anderson, who have been friends and obviously went through a lot together in their eight years together so you can imagine the time that they spent

1:05:03 together this time around, this afternoon a couple of hours that they had a lot to talk about and we were told by aides but they were catching up a lot and enjoying themselves talking about a lot of the professional things but also just their personal lives as well. It was an interesting trend on social network Twitter in particular so they had video footage Obama and Biden coming out of Air Force One on the tiny stairs, of course. The lower deck. Excuse me and I don't know if you see this trend... That's actually the hold Yes it is yes where they normally store horses They're coming out of a hold Yeah they're coming out of the hold And there's something about Obama's leg or something but but the trend is what do you notice? Have you seen this

Reid characterized the move as a "grift" and compared Trump's actions unfavorably to the ministry of Jesus, whom she described as a "Palestinian Jewish carpenter." The segment argues that Trump is exploiting evangelical Christians to fund his legal defenses.

1:05:56 So there'll be a video? I may have, but i never could figure out what to notice. Me neither! So they had this video and it was like, look at Obama. What do you notice? And then there's 500 comments of, oh he's got an ankle bracelet! Oh his leg is a robot! I'm like come on... This trend is annoying now that I just skipped them Anyway let's move over to Trump for a moment because we need to bash him appropriately particularly on the Jesus Super Bowl Sunday the Resurrection Day we need to complain about his religiosity and who better to do that than Joy Reid. I'm wondering what one or two of your most favorite Bible verses are? I wouldn't want to get into it because, for me that's very personal The Bible means a lot to me but i don't want to get into specifics Even just cite a verse you like? No, I don't wanna do that Old Testament guy or New Testament guy? Probably

1:06:54 A medium testament guy. Answer something Trump! An old testament guy or a new testament guy? Probably equal... Today is Good Friday, which if Donald Trump had ever read or even briefly scanned the Bible he might know but if you're a Christian believer You know that it marks the day Jesus of Nazareth, a Palestinian Jewish carpenter born in poverty Notice what she says there I love it! Notice what she says, the Palestinian She's a Palestinian This is genius! He might know. But if you are a Christian believer, you know that it marks the day Jesus of Nazareth, a Palestinian Jewish carpenter born in poverty as a displaced refugee in his own land...

1:07:38 This is phenomenal. Wow, they even got the displaced refugee angle. So good! And conquered by the Roman Empire was crucified for the... Bastards. Crime of defying the Roman Emperor by worshiping the God of Israel rather than the emperor himself An invented crime for which he was nailed to a cross and mocked by Roman soldiers who affixed to his head, a crown of thorns and labeled him King of the Jews. A man who performed miracles for the poor, the sick and the hated, and two despite being the son of the divine died for the sins of the masses. A man whose entire ministry was about serving the poor, the immigrant and embracing the rejected

1:08:19 Oh man, she kind of makes the whole tribulation there. The passion of Christ just kinda takes some shortcuts a little more than just that but okay let's continue Joy Reid And then there is Donald Trump A man born with a silver spoon in his mouth who has only ever served himself and to his running for president again to keep himself out of prison He has also cast himself as a modern day Jesus during this most sacred week in the Christian calendar. Well, to my knowledge Jesus the Messiah never paid off a porn star to cover up committing adultery while his third wife was pregnant with his fifth child. Jesus certainly wasn't hawking Bibles as part of a never-ending grift but for the low low price of $59.99 you can buy The God Bless The USA Bible! The only Bible endorsed by Trump

1:09:09 Because to Donald Trump, a Bible is no more sacred than a Trump board game or Trump water. It's just another cheap tchotchke to sell to his followers as is faith it's just another thing to sell to frightened white evangelical Christians to get them to set aside what they know about their faith and vote for Trump anyway... To keep him out of jail Trump has turned them into cult members, shared his persecution complex with them to get them to believe he's fighting a holy war for them. But because he doesn't know anything about the actual Jesus Donald Trump doesn't understand that a real Messiah would never say migrants are poisoning the blood of our country. There it is! Which actually says I was a stranger and you welcomed me before He died. He said father forgive them for they know not what they do

1:09:59 That was that was about the Romans, but okay joy read you're the expert and I think he also I think he also came in a money is or what is it? Yes. Yeah, I think Jesus also came in and And tossed everyone out of the temple and overturned the tax tables and did some other stuff You know there was was quite a bit of Violence action there was action. Yes, that's the word I'm looking for one last clip here of joy I mean enjoying you so much miss read I have to turn to my play pastor My part-time pastor every now sharp than did my theology did I get my theology? No Okay good cuz I listen I listened to the fastest including yourself my big brother let Because Trump is not any it's not a Christian. I mean he's not a religious man at all He's never do you know him? He was not religious. No

Al Sharpton and the Debate Over Trump's Religious Sincerity

Reverend Al Sharpton questioned Donald Trump's religious credentials, stating he has never heard Trump discuss faith or attend church. The discussion highlights the irony of Democrats criticizing a lack of religiosity while typically advocating for secularism. Additionally, the segment touches on the history of the King James Bible and its status in the public domain, which makes it a profitable version for Trump to endorse.

al sharpton· donald trump· king james bible· religion· fbi informant

1:10:46 I've never heard him even discuss religion, let alone be accused of attending religious gatherings. Hold on! Stop stop stop! Aren't these the same Democrats who do everything they can to keep any mention of religion or anything out of the schools and taking any religious note that shows up at City Hall? And you're moaning about it so we have a guy who's neutral on religion and now it's bad Or am I getting this wrong? He's the Reverend Al. He has credentials, man! No, I've never heard him even discuss religion let alone be accused of attending religious gatherings which is why it is so insulting to me as one who grew up in the church and have been a preacher since I was a boy Hold on a second Is Reverend Al forgetting his background

1:11:42 Reverend Al, allow me to play a little clip that reminds you of your days as a preacher as a boy. Even worse is Al Sharpton who's still hanging around this is the former backup dancer with James Brown who was a crack dealer he was caught on camera by the FBI dealing crack And they turned him into an informant. So he's certainly still on the FBI payroll, he's no reverend! Oh okay... Insulting to me as one who grew up in the church and have been a preacher since I was a boy for him did not only come with selling Bibles

1:12:19 During Holy Week, I mean this is the week that we believe in Christ. The real Christ. Oh! The real Christ? To take the Bible and say that... Which other Christ are you talking about? And when you sell Bibles during Holy Week isn't it time to sell them?! That's exactly what I'm trying to say! I'm not getting a lot of logic here to take the Bible and say that this is the only Bible endorsed by Donald Trump. If you believe it was the sacred word of God, who are you or I to endorse the word of God? And add to it! There was no Council of Nicaea that added to the Bible. Donald Trump did it he thinks he has a right to do it

1:13:00 I had to order one. You know that right? I had to order one, of course! By the way there are a bunch of conflicting Bibles that are out there available and if you do Bible research in any way shape or form especially online they'll list them all to you and a lot of them are so copyrighted you can't do anything And they do, and the argument is made this is the best Bible. That's the best Bible. It was nonsense! There was no one Bible? No but he... The Trump Bible is the King James Version so that would that would be considered by most the OG

1:13:38 Yeah, emphasizing the word old. The newer interpretations of the Bible which have come out since and are used by a lot of scholars are far superior Well here's what bothers me My grandmother, whenever this is some Curry family. I don't think I've ever told the story in the show my grandmother was a real Jesus lover and she had her King James Bible and Whenever we would assemble for Thanksgiving or some you know Christmas or some other stuff at Mead Road Which was what we called The Homestead up there in Armonk

1:14:23 Upon leaving, the oldest grandchild present would read Psalm 121 which she called the going away prayer. And we would always cringe because there was lots of yeas and other stuff in there that wasn't English! So it starts with I lift up mine eyes unto the hills And then I look at the New King James or the new international version and it's like, yeah! I took a glance over at The Mountains. It doesn't...it's not quite the same thing. And then there is The Message Bible which was written basically for truck drivers so there are lot of different versions but I think if you're Trump than yeah, you would sell the King James version

Governor Kathy Hochul and New York Crime Statistics

New York Governor Kathy Hochul appeared on Al Sharpton's program to discuss the death of Officer Jonathan Diller and the state's crime statistics. Hochul defended her administration's efforts to adjust bail laws while claiming that crime is statistically down. Critics argue that changes in reporting methods and under-reporting by citizens make these official statistics unreliable.

kathy hochul· nypd· crime rates· bail reform· al sharpton

1:15:10 Yeah, the one that's in the public domain you can make the most money from. Boom! There it is. Let's go back to Al. Governor let's start with the fatal shooting of New York City Police Officer Jonathan Diller Now this is Kathy Hochul, the governor of New York who was kicked out of the ceremony they asked her to leave Trump was there all the cops are there Hochul shows up and they ask her to leave Was that in this interview? met with family members. The tragedy obviously sparked a debate about crime, guns and criminal justice and many of us deplore the shooting of policemen you've been consistent with that but also consistent with everyone must stay within the law what can you share about your thoughts on these issues as crimes statistically has gone down in your state? But what do we need to do more off

1:16:22 Well, thank you Reverend for having me back on the show. And yesterday and today at the day of the funeral it's been a heartbreaking experience for all New Yorkers we grieve with this family especially a young widow who has a one-year old son who'll be raised without his father because of horrific acts by brazen criminal and I went to the way to meet the family and speak to everyone from his wife, mother father brothers sisters. Everyone is just distraught and yes there's a lot of anger understandably there's anger about how these individuals who commit crimes over and over are back out on the streets again so that's one of the reasons we worked hard with the legislature last year to change the bail laws so judges have more discretion

1:17:09 You know, there's a lot of complicated factors here but I totally understand the outrage of the family. I do and we're working hard to keep crime down Lady, lady, lady. I love this statistically it's down. Oh well by having a day under reported it's like the cops you know it just is its down for a reason yeah because of statistics yeah lies damn under report they've also changed as of 2020 they change the reporting I don't know what to call them, sheets or forms or whatever it is nationally. And so a lot of stuff doesn't get filled out anymore. There's there's a lot of reasons for these numbers being bogus but everyone knows is not true! I mean just go to San Francisco even though I went to Oakland Chinatown the other day and it was like

Random Punching Attacks on Women in New York City

A series of random assaults on women in New York City has gained national attention after victims shared their experiences on TikTok. Influencer Hallie Kate and others reported being punched in the face by strangers while walking on the sidewalk. The NYPD has made several arrests but maintains that the attacks do not constitute a coordinated pattern, despite felony assaults being up 3%.

1:17:57 Oakland Chinatown used to be a pretty vibrant place. Half the places boarded up. Here's here's a new trend of the oh so statistically safe New York City The NYPD is investigating this incident and several others like it A woman suddenly punched while walking on a Brooklyn sidewalk seemingly for no reason I literally just got punched by some man on the sidewalk. In the last two weeks, several young women have posted on TikTok about getting randomly punched on the streets of New York City. Out of nowhere this man just came up and hit me in the face. Tonight with those videos as part of their investigation police have made two arrests including this man Skiboki Stora charged with attacking an influencer known as Hallie Kate

1:18:40 whose video has been viewed 49 million times. Literally I fell to the ground and now this giant goose egg is forming in my head. A concussion, a black eye design student Michaela Toninato shared a similar experience so i just got back from the emergency room after getting punched in the face prosecutor said the man charged with assaulting her left the 27 year old with a concussion and a visible mark on her eye police are investigating at least seven random assaults where the victim later posted on TikTok. None is believed to be related to another tonight police are looking for this man in connection with the assault of a 25 year old woman in Times Square who was slapped in the forehead and this man who allegedly punched a 24 year old woman in the head

1:19:20 While police say these attacks are not part of a pattern, Mary that doesn't make them any less scary. Felony assaults in the city are up about 3%. Other statistics though show the post-pandemic violent crime surge is continuing to level off Oh okay! That's where the stats come from No pattern now There's no pattern here there's nothing to see here Nothing to see here Yeah they punched him in the face In Brooklyn Please This is unbelievable Oh, goodness gracious.

Oakland License Plate Readers and Subway Gun Scanners

Governor Gavin Newsom announced the installation of 480 high-tech license plate readers in Oakland to combat stolen vehicles and retail theft. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams introduced a pilot program using Evolve Technology body scanners in the subway system to detect concealed firearms. Privacy advocates have raised concerns about the expansion of "Big Brother" surveillance in both cities.

oakland· gavin newsom· flock safety· nypd· evolve technology

1:20:07 Oh yes. Hundreds of new cameras promising to help make Oakland and the East Bay safer Governor Newsom announced today the cameras will be placed on both city streets and on state highways as our crime reporter Henry Lee shows us many police departments already have this system but this will be on a larger in more regional scale governor Gavin Newsom says hundreds of cameras that read license plates will soon be in place in Oakland and across the East Bay and support the efforts of law enforcement to focus on stolen vehicles. The governor made his announcement in a video recorded along Hagenberger Road in East Oakland, a hotspot for burglaries. The camera system is from Flock Safety and one that's already used by many law enforcement agencies. The cameras take still photos of the backs of cars and not people or faces

1:20:52 From there, police can track down specific cars and potentially arrest suspects. 290 cameras will be on Oakland City streets under the purview of Oakland Police while 190 cameras will be set up on state highways in the East Bay and monitored by the CHP Images will be stored for 28 days With many officers barred from chasing suspects in property crimes, supporters say these cameras will allow the cops to catch up to them later. We also feel that Big Brother isn't watching enough that you know my big brothers they always looked out for me and I think that the ultimate big brother is our local police department. If it could help address some of the immediate

1:21:29 You know, public safety issues around storm vehicles and that kind of thing. Hopefully it'll have an impact." Others aren't so sure. Brian Hofer is chair of the City of Oakland's Privacy Commission. He questions whether the CHP's privacy standards will be the same as Oakland's. that people are acting based on fear and also an unproven misguided belief that these cameras are going to solve all our problems. Wait a minute, do I not recall story after story about how this was a problem? And no you can't have this is illegal. Did they change something somewhere along the way through the law change? Yeah, they let you forget! Oh, oh... You know what could I just

1:22:19 Can I just listen to this clip? This is a clip from 2023 about the, I think the San Jose license plate readers. Let me just listen to this for a second. Law enforcement and city officials have had enough and they believe perpetrators shouldn't have a license to steal so enter technology It reads license plate numbers and converts them to text format And if there's a match with a plate from a wanted hot list law enforcement is alerted Silicon Valley's San Jose implemented automatic license plate readers, ALPRs throughout the city in October near top spots like intersections and malls. I thought it was a big problem. I thought that there was legalities that had to be overcome and i guess that just happened? It's okay?

1:23:04 We probably have older clips that get there somewhere. Here's the second part of this Oakland report. James Birch of the Anti-Police Terror Project says money could be better spent elsewhere. Instead of these cameras, could we have professionals doing their work in the community to prevent violence? Those are the costs that were seeing here on the streets and in the city of Oakland It is not clear where these cameras might be set up but we've learned that the system could be installed beginning in the next 30 days and be fully complete by this fall in Oakland, Henry Lee. And in New York, they now have a new way of doing stop and frisk. Mayor Adams announced the start of a pilot program with a high-tech body scanner that could help keep people with guns out of the subway The system manufactured by Evolve Technology is in widespread use at amusement parks and in at least 10 stadiums far less intrusive Yeah that's private property than airport security

CIA Deputy Director on Cyber Hygiene and TikTok

Julianne Gallina, the CIA's Deputy Director for Digital Innovation, warned of foreign influence operations from Russia and China targeting US elections. Gallina stated that she forbids her family from using TikTok due to security risks. She emphasized that "cyber hygiene," such as avoiding simple passwords like "123," remains the most critical defense for the agency's enterprise.

cia· julianne gallina· tiktok· cyber security· election interference

1:24:10 The system generates an invisible electromagnetic field as you walk through, your body disturbs that field. And the system is designed to look specifically for the distinct pattern of a gun In a demonstration, the system detected the men with concealed handguns. A computer screen pinpointed exactly where the guns could be found. We're surprised how many people will see that machine and walk through thinking no one would pick up their gun. We see it in our hospitals. People are walking in with all sorts of weapons because they don't believe the machine actually works. The NYPD has not yet said how many they will use and precisely where they will be deployed but we'll start seeing them on subways early July

1:24:51 Yeah. It's less intrusive than TSA? No, they don't do that! Take your picture! What are you drinking I think I heard something open. Polar seltzer no big deal okay Now, the big fear of course is none of this. It's all cyber and we're all worried about cyber and we have the deputy director for digital innovation at the CIA who as far as I know they're not supposed to be operational in the US correct? No, that's not true. We've talked about this I had in the newsletter Ronald Reagan lifted those restrictions during his era

1:25:35 Well, that's good to know. They can do what they want. Well, Juliana Galina I think is her name? She appeared on NBC. Julianne Galina's title may sound bureaucratic... I'm the deputy director of the CIA for digital innovation But her portfolio is broad and essential Appointed in February she's in charge of the CIA's efforts to detect and protect against cyber threats from abroad Among her foremost concerns, threats to US elections. Particularly Russia spreading false information creating doubt and swaying US officials And with China she sees efforts to influence U.S opinion as the biggest threat If you're changing the minds of a group or many people

1:26:17 that's hard to undo. It's hard to even know what the source was or how it happened, including on social media. Are you on TikTok? No. Neither are her kids or her parents she says I tell them don't touch it. Tick Tock denies being owned by the Chinese government but back at CIA headquarters Her biggest concern might surprise you honestly The thing that that concerns me the most is worrying that maybe someone in my enterprise still has password 123 as the password. It's, you know, in other words basic cyber hygiene. Cyber hygiene? I like that! How's your cyber hygiene? Cyber hygiene.

60 Minutes on Misinformation Research and Kate Starbird

A 60 Minutes report featured University of Washington professor Kate Starbird, who leads a research group focused on election misinformation. The segment explored the conflict between academic researchers and conservative lawmakers like Jim Jordan, who allege a "censorship industrial complex." Starbird claimed that her team has been intimidated by political pressure and will no longer share findings directly with social media platforms.

60 minutes· kate starbird· misinformation· jim jordan· first amendment

1:27:01 And why isn't she on TikTok? Isn't she supposed to be checking this stuff out to make sure we're not getting screwed. You know, the CIA should be sending us donations because this is what WE do! I have a multi-part breakdown of the 60 Minutes special... Special?! Which is that? Oh, it's about TikTok and fake videos and AI. Yeah you want to hear some of this? This is I love it! You like the pain as big tech firms wrestle with how to keep false and harmful information off their social networks. Wait a minute hold on a second Is this Leslie Stahl interviewing the Biden stooge who's presenting herself as a fact checker?

1:27:49 She is that Kate Starbuck, I think. Yeah she's she works with the Biden administration but she's got set up shop as a fact checker to make sure that the Biden stuff doesn't get you know he doesn't get treated properly. That's truth yeah of course it's truth The Supreme Court is wrestling with whether platforms like Facebook and Twitter now called X have the right to decide what users can say on their sites The dispute centers on a pair of laws passed in the red states of Florida and Texas over the question of First Amendment rights on the Internet. The Supreme Court is considering whether the platforms are like newspapers, which have free speech rights to make their own editorial decisions or if they're more like telephone companies that merely transmit everyone's speech. Wow! That's very

1:28:45 It's a very simplified version of the issue at hand. That is a terrible analogy, it really is. If the laws are upheld the platforms could be forced to carry hate speech and false medical information. Forced? You will carry hate speech! The very content most big tech companies have spent years trying to remove through teams of content moderators But in the process, conservatives claim that the companies have engaged in a conspiracy to suppress their speech. Ah yes! Yes by the way did you make the basket? Sounded like you hit it

1:29:28 I have, uh... used to have a giant pile of cans in this studio. Yes we missed the sound effect. Which i've removed but unfortunately another pile has been forming and I tossed that can into the new pile So you literally have a pile on the floor of cans? Yeah yeah because it makes a great sound effect just listen You are an ummm....a unique man John C. Dvorak very unique Almost as unique as Kate Starbird. A new target is misinformation academic researchers... Now this is something we could get into, exit strategy! ...who began working closely with the platforms after evidence of Russian interference online in the 2016 election. Evidence? Are researchers being chilled? Absolutely. Kate Starbird is a professor at the University of Washington

1:30:24 a former professional basketball player and the leader of a misinformation research group created ahead of the 2020 election. Yeah, by Biden! Yes, of course and she's a former basketball player. She never mentions this report to CBS Report is classic Nowadays, kind of reporting where they just leave stuff out. Screw you the public! 60 minutes is just falling off the ship. Would you call that mal-information? Misinformation or disinformation? Definitely yes We were very specifically looking at misinformation about election processes procedures and election results and if we saw something about that we would pass it along to the platforms if we thought it violated their one of their policies

1:31:09 Here's an example, a November 2020 tweet saying that election software in Michigan switched 6,000 votes from Trump to Biden. The researchers alerted Twitter that then decided to label it with a warning I understand that some of the researchers including you have had some threats against them. Yes threats. I have received one Sometimes there are threats with something behind them and sometimes they're just there to make you nervous and uncomfortable. And it's hard to know the difference I love that just jumps from well, you know The votes change but you've had threats against you. I mean this is this is not even journalism anymore It's really bad. And by the way We all know who really is behind all the disinformation did your research find a

1:31:59 that there was more misinformation spread by conservatives. Absolutely, I think not just our research, research across the board looking at the 2020 election... How about safe and effective lady? ...found that there was more misinformation spread by people that were supporters of Donald Trump or conservatives and the events of January 6th kind of underscore this The folks climbing up the Capitol building were supporters of Donald Trump and they were misinformed by these false claims, and that motivated those actions. Did that come out of the January 6th commission? I thought it was Donald Trump's fault! Specifically with the false claims does she say? No, of course not

CHAPTER 27 / 46 Discussion

Jim Jordan and the Censorship Industrial Complex Debate

Congressman Jim Jordan argued that the federal government colluded with tech companies to silence conservative speech, citing emails sent to Twitter by the Biden administration. The discussion referenced a tweet by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. about Hank Aaron's death and a "doctor tape" of Nancy Pelosi that Facebook refused to remove. The Supreme Court is currently weighing cases that will define the First Amendment rights of social media platforms.

jim jordan· first amendment· twitter· robert f. kennedy jr· nancy pelosi

1:32:50 Now let's get the other side of the story. Let's go to Jim Jordan, a Republican Ohio Republican Congressman Jim Jordan is chairman of the House Judiciary Committee So how big a problem is mis- and disinformation on the web? Well, I'm sure there's some but our concern is the bigger problem of the attack on First Amendment liberties. Congressman Jordan's Judiciary Committee... First Amendment liberties? That's an interesting way to put it. Do I like that? First Amendment liberties? And you can be sure this has been chopped up. Oh, yeah!

1:33:26 the attack on First Amendment liberties. Congressman Jordan's Judiciary Committee produced a report that concluded there is a censorship industrial complex where the federal government and tech companies colluded with academic researchers to disproportionately silence conservatives, which Kate Starbird vigorously denies. But Congressman Jordan says her group unfairly flagged posts like this tweet by Newt Gingrich. Pennsylvania Democrats are methodically changing the rules so they can steal the election, he complains that government officials put pressure on social media companies directly. A great example 36 hours into the Biden administration,

1:34:15 sends an email to Twitter and says, we think you should take down this tweet ASAP. Just a call alone from the government he says can be unnerving You can't have the goverment say hey we want you to do X Government who has ability to regulate these private companies which has ability to tax these private companies He says that White House email to Twitter involved a tweet from Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and everything in the tweet was true, that tweet implied falsely that baseball legend Hank Aaron's death was caused by the COVID vaccine. Did they take it? It turned out they did it. Thank goodness! And that post is still up

1:34:57 Well, it must be true then. Oh my god! It's still up she decries So we need something just as equally outrageous on the other side that hurt the Democrats Katie Harbath spent a decade at Facebook where she helped develop its policies around election misinformation When she was there, she says it was not unusual for the government to ask Facebook to remove content which is proper as long as the government is not coercing. Conservatives are alleging that the platforms were taking down content at the behest of the government. They were! Which is not true. The platforms made their own decisions Okay what kind of decisions? What example do you have

1:35:44 and many times we were pushing back on the government. Can we talk about a specific case? Oh, which one do you think they have John? I'm sure it's a whopper. It's of Nancy Pelosi, it's a doctor tape where she looks drunk. We want to give this president the opportunity to do something historic This was the video of then House Speaker Pelosi posted to Facebook in 2019 slowed down to make it seem that she was slurring her words Do these people have no humor? Do they not understand this was a joke. No, no. They actually have no humor it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. It did not come down. Why because it didn't violate the policy. Why why why did they not take it? Why is disinformation? She's never drunk! Did it come down?

1:36:48 It did not. Why? Because it didn't violate the policies that they had So, did she put pressure on the company to take it down She was definitely not pleased and she definitely wanted the company... Yes and it really damaged the relationship that the company had with her. Oh, it damaged the relationship! Like she cared... She was too busy buying stocks. She got no... she don't care but what do you think of me Twitter? I'm to busy buying stocks with my inside information Okay, so now we're just almost done here. We get to the Supreme Court but a lot of this is now in the court. The conservatives campaign faced a setback at the Supreme Court on Monday when a majority of the Justices seemed poised to reject their efforts to limit attempts by the government to influence social media

1:37:40 The court is deciding in separate cases whether the platforms are like news organizations with a First Amendment right to control who and what information appears on their sites. It's gonna be so interesting what comes out of that. Let's wrap this up with some accusations Darrell West a senior fellow of technology innovation at the Brookings Institution says the clash over what is true is fraying our institutions and threatening democracies around the world Half of the world is voting this year and the world could stick with democracy or move towards authoritarianism. Well, we all know what we want? We all want authoritarianism! Half the world is voting this year. They're voting and they're voting for authoritarianism... How do you do that by the way? You have systems in place. This isn't great, but it's good. Yes how do you vote for authoritarianism? We have a system in place yeah and

1:38:39 kind of lame democracies that come late in the game and then they vote, you know a sharia government in place and they just dissolve everything. There's no mechanism there is no mechanism in this country to do that. Democracies around the world half of the world is voting this year And the world could stick with democracy or move towards authoritarianism The danger is disinformation could decide the elections in a number of different countries In the US, he says, the right wing has been flooding the internet with reams of misleading information in order to confuse the public. And he's alarmed by the campaign to silence the academic researchers who have had to spend money and time on demands from Jim Jordan's Judiciary Committee

1:39:29 I wonder if there's a way to measure the shifting meaning of misinformation. Stabbert says she and her team feel intimidated by the conservatives' campaign, so while they will continue releasing their research reports on misinformation, they will no longer send their findings to social media platforms. Well what good are you then? They have to pull back because this is Biden op Yeah, it's I want to mention in passing which they don't have any clips when I'm should have gotten some But I guess they're doing their there. They're unleashing the AI on medical research Yes, you heard this too? Yes yes You ever clean they're turning it turns out that most of the medical research that we've been inundated with bogus is totally bogus Well, I don't need a eye to deconstruct this particular information

1:40:24 information that came out. More proof this morning that eggs have been getting a bad rap, but new study shows it's okay to eat an entire dozen on a weekly basis researchers say eating 12 fortified eggs per week had no adverse impact on good or bad cholesterol levels in people over the age of 50 And there were signs of potential benefits for seniors who ate eggs each day, such as improved cholesterol and insulin resistant scores.

Eggland's Best Funded Study on Weekly Egg Consumption

A new study claiming that eating 12 "fortified" eggs per week has no adverse impact on cholesterol was revealed to be funded by Eggland's Best. The lead researcher and several team members also disclosed consulting ties to major pharmaceutical companies. Critics point out that the study specifically promotes fortified eggs rather than natural ones, serving as a marketing tool for the egg lobby.

1:39:29 I wonder if there's a way to measure the shifting meaning of misinformation. Stabbert says she and her team feel intimidated by the conservatives' campaign, so while they will continue releasing their research reports on misinformation, they will no longer send their findings to social media platforms. Well what good are you then? They have to pull back because this is Biden op Yeah, it's I want to mention in passing which they don't have any clips when I'm should have gotten some But I guess they're doing their there. They're unleashing the AI on medical research Yes, you heard this too? Yes yes You ever clean they're turning it turns out that most of the medical research that we've been inundated with bogus is totally bogus Well, I don't need a eye to deconstruct this particular information

1:40:24 information that came out. More proof this morning that eggs have been getting a bad rap, but new study shows it's okay to eat an entire dozen on a weekly basis researchers say eating 12 fortified eggs per week had no adverse impact on good or bad cholesterol levels in people over the age of 50 And there were signs of potential benefits for seniors who ate eggs each day, such as improved cholesterol and insulin resistant scores. But experts say more research is needed so talk to your own doctor before you make any changes to your diet. So I love... Oh really? Every time I make a change in my diet and want to eat new fruit, I have to call the doctor they won't answer! I love these types of news reports because it's blanketed all over the place

1:41:16 And of course, with our no agenda research hat on we go to look at the study. Diane before you do that did you notice that she dropped in the word fortified? No, I didn't. Yes start the clip over and why does it have to be a what's wrong with a natural egg? More proof this morning that eggs have been getting a bad rap A new study shows it's okay to eat an entire dozen on a weekly basis Researchers say eating 12 fortified eggs per week for two. What is a fortified egg? That means they're feeding the chickens hormones or some damn thing, who knows? So I go to look at this study and i didn't need AI. I just go to the study it's prospective evaluation of fortified eggs related to improvement in the biomarker profile for your health

1:42:11 And all you have to do is go to the lead researcher, Neha J. Pagdipati MD FACC and look at the disclosures by the way except for three every single researcher is a consultant for Big Pharma but the lead researcher states research and research grants provided by Egglands Best Which is a fortified egg. Yes, and I don't have to tell you who's paying for the website Egglands Best do i? No This is the fortified egg lobby Yeah And everyone just reports it

1:42:52 Oh yeah, oh this is great news! Remember? Blue jeans you're gonna get cancer. Blue jeans no cancer. Beef you're gonna die your arteries are going to get clogged and scourged. The same thing with cast iron skillets it's gonna give you a heart attack. They're going to kill ya! Meanwhile everybody who listens to the sound of my voice knows that you need... ...to go too many eggs dot com And don't get the fortified version. Get the regular, just a regular book. It's a free PDF you can take it and make recipes from it for nothing But the book itself is a work of art. It is well worth $800 for the book No, that's the ABC book May 5th I'm told! May 5th is the ABC book. Oh, I am so excited

San Francisco Crime Sweeps and Tenderloin Lawsuit

San Francisco police arrested 54 people in a Tenderloin district sweep targeting fugitives and narcotics. Meanwhile, residents and hotel owners filed a federal lawsuit against the city, alleging that the Tenderloin has been treated as a "containment zone" for open-air drug markets. The plaintiffs argue they pay taxes but do not receive the same level of security and services as other neighborhoods.

1:43:42 So can we go back to San Francisco for a minute? Oh goodness, okay. Although we haven't left it We were in Oakland yeah, we were close just a day in the life of San Francisco Okay I got three different stories here oh is it as fun and safe statistically as New York City Oh, probably better. Everything... crime's gone down. Here is San Francisco normal arrests. San Francisco police say they arrested dozens of wanted fugitives in a sweep in the Tenderloin this week. Officers say they arrested 54 people on Wednesday and seized 600 grams of narcotics during the multi-agency operation 34 of those arrested had outstanding warrants authorities with other city agencies also towed cars and impounded illegal food vending carts

1:44:28 Police say these operations will continue for the foreseeable future around UN Plaza and other areas. Yeah, there was somebody who had a cook stove and so they stole it. Say it ain't so! Here's another good one too. This is another San Francisco story. Normal, I put this as normal, BART shooting. And San Francisco police are still searching for more people who may have been involved in the deadly shooting at Powell Street BART station It happened around 930 last night at Hallett Plaza People, police found one person who'd been shot. They were declared dead at the scene. The victim's name has not been released. Hold on a second let me hear that again. People, police found one person who had been shot they were declared dead at the scene Was this a trans person? She is using the they them pronoun on a single person

1:45:19 That's interesting. Yeah, I caught it right away! You caught that? I missed it. So they knew something and they're not reporting. Police found one person who'd been shot They were declared dead at the scene The victim's name has not been released Police tell us they located a gun but no arrests have been made Hmm...okay Well, that's pretty standard. It happens If anybody out there wants to vacation in San Francisco, I advise against it Yeah, and certainly don't leave anything in your car And here's the thing, yeah for sure. Can you imagine the pain in the ass it must be to have a rental? You go to San Francisco and just park it and they bust the windows on it and you gotta take the car back. There goes your vacation! It must take forever to do the paperwork Well first of all since when are we considering San Francisco a vacation destination? Its a one way ticket to hell my friend

1:46:12 Here's the last San Francisco normal yenderloin clip. For the first time we are hearing from the plaintiffs behind a lawsuit aimed at the city of San Francisco over conditions in the tenderloin district. Escape TV's Christian Kapton shows us these residents say they want this city to take decisive action that put an end to open-air drug markets and homeless encampments Conditions in San Francisco's Tenderloin are the ongoing center of debate and now the center of a lawsuit filed last week. Residents and hotels in the area say, The city hasn't done enough to improve street conditions and filed a suit in federal court saying while they pay their taxes they don't get the same services that other city residents receive several of the residents chose to remain anonymous but are speaking out now for the first time about what it's like living in the tenderloin

1:47:02 It is dangerous to come outside. I work three days a week, and have to walk two blocks up where there's drugs going around in drug dealers." This resident is raising two children at the Tenderloin and says it's not fair that they have to live in a dangerous neighborhood. What I'm asking for is just one thing security The attorney representing the plaintiff says the city has allowed the tenderloin to sink into chaos. And it's a little bit more than that because there is evidence that the city has treated this neighborhood as the containment zone, this is where the city has directed this activity with hope apparently if we can contain it to the tenderloin then maybe it won't spread to other neighborhoods Oh my goodness!

1:47:46 I mean, I believe this to be true. Oh it sounds totally believable but the tenderloin that used to be hip? No! The tenderloin was never hip it was always a hellhole when I was little kid I remember going through with my dad and he's telling me this is the bad part of town and there was always the bad part of town still the bad part of town Why was your dad driving you through there? Was gonna drop you off? Sometimes you gotta go through the tenderloin to get from point A to point B The idea that they've made it this way on purpose, I never considered. But then I think of the concept of Hamsterdam in the TV series The Wire and I think yeah that's exactly what they're doing! And once its totally devolved into crap then they'll toss everybody out raise it as in R-A-Z-E and build a new stadium

CDC Warnings on Monkeypox and Meningitis Increases

The CDC issued warnings regarding a rise in monkeypox cases, which have nearly doubled compared to last year. Additionally, a rare and more deadly strain of bacterial meningitis is increasing, with 422 cases reported in 2023. Health officials are encouraging high-risk individuals and middle-aged adults to stay up to date on vaccinations for both illnesses.

1:48:39 They need a new stadium, but I don't think they're gonna. I don't know this has been going on too long I don't I think they're just gonna leave it as Amsterdam I want to play a couple of clips from the big pharma, from the medical. Everything's an industrial complex so it was the medical-industrial complex this is what your algos will tell you to be very afraid of and the CDC is warning that monkeypox is on the rise again in the US cases are nearly double what they were at this time last year It spreads via skin-to-skin contact with symptoms like smallpox but milder now the CDC says anyone with a high risk of infection should get vaccinated

1:49:17 To quote a trend, what do you notice in that clip? Vaccinated. No! What's different from the previous reporting on monkeypox? Skin-to-skin contact? Yes it used to be men who have sex with men Ah yes, your correct sir Now its skin-to-skin contacts complain a bit about the price of Ozempic? Tonight, a new study is raising questions about the high cost of the diabetes drug Ozempic and similar drugs now being used by millions of people for weight loss. Drug maker Novo Nordisk charging nearly $1,000 dollars a month for injections before insurance researchers from Yale King's College Hospital in London and Doctors Without Borders claim that it can be made for less than five dollars The study does not account for labor costs tariffs and legal fees

1:50:11 The company says it spent almost $5 billion on research and development. And advertising! Do they mention the cost of advertising they put into that thing? No, no. Which adds to the bottom line? Yeah it was half a billion dollars last year alone So on that tip there's, let me see. There is news that there are natural alternatives to weight loss drugs, Ozempic and we'll go with it. Yeah chewing gum! Well we know that its Slenderman, slenderman dot com but there are A team of computer scientists, here we go is planning to announce the identification of two potentially viable natural alternatives to weight loss drugs ozempic and Wachovia made from naturally occurring compounds. Currently identified as compound a and compound B the mystery extracts which are identified using the latest

1:51:04 artificial intelligence tools. Get ready, will remain secret until the researchers obtain patents on their formulations. Yeah and there goes the price! Exactly it's so sick. One more warning from the CDC get watch your kids And now to an alert from the CDC. A rare type of bacterial illness that can cause meningitis is increasing 422 cases were reported last year, the most since 2014 One strain proving to be more deadly than usual with one in six people dying Most of the victims are middle-aged adults The federal agency encouraging those eligible to stay up to date on their vaccines Oh, vaccines

Kenya Medical Research Institute AI Cough Analysis App

Researchers at the Kenya Medical Research Institute are developing an AI-powered app funded by the NIH to detect tuberculosis through cough sound analysis. The goal is to reduce diagnosis time from months to minutes, though the software currently falls short of the World Health Organization's 90% accuracy standard. The trials involve recording the coughs of both healthy and infected individuals to train the diagnostic algorithm.

kenya· tuberculosis· ai· nih· world health organization

1:51:51 The meningitis vaccine. Is there a vaccine for meningitis? I believe that, I believe there to be yes. Just everything's like stay up to date on your vaccine. Yeah just get your vaccine oh you've got monkey pox skin-to-skin used to be men who have sex with men but no now it's just skin-to-skin and then what i thought was the funniest uh... the funniest report from Kenya and this started in 2018 we had I think we did something on the show. Do you remember that they were doing, they were detecting tuberculosis with sound analysis? And they would- I actually don't remember that but it sounds reasonable. They would analyze your cough and then based upon your cough, oh! You got tuberculosis but they couldn't really get it above 70% accuracy

1:52:43 So now we've decided, well let's just give the Kenyans some tuberculosis and let's build our app down there. Developing an app that could detect tuberculosis and other respiratory diseases... That is the challenge set by this team at Kenya Medical Research Institute In this room, they record the coughs of both sick and healthy people. The aim is to create a software that can analyze the noises and diagnose whether the person has the disease. It's very convenient technology new technology. The trials have been funded by the National Institutes of Health in the USA but have not yet received regulatory approval

1:53:22 For Dr Nduba, the project's lead researcher... That's what I like about the report. They keep having this lady who is testing cough into a Yeti Blue Mic. ...curb the spread of tuberculosis by cutting down diagnosis timing from two to three months to a few minutes. The biggest achievement is reduced time for diagnosis so that when they get a cough If you can just expose them to this software and determine this is TB, it would reduce TB transmission in the community. And a lot of TB is due to transmission." The software has not yet met World Health Organization detection accuracy standards. The app must have a TB diagnosis accuracy of at least 90% and 80%, in detecting the absence of infection

Texas Attorney General Investigates Boeing Supplier Spirit Aerosystems

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into Spirit Aerosystems, a key Boeing supplier, following reports of manufacturing defects. Paxton's office is demanding documents related to quality control flaws and the company's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. The investigation seeks to determine if a focus on a diverse workforce has compromised the safety and integrity of aircraft components.

1:54:07 At present, the rate is 10% lower in both categories but gives researchers a lot of hope. Geez! Makes you want to cough listening to that report I just love the report and i didn't know if The World Health Organization had standards for cough analysis. I mean it's gonna be literally... You're gonna go on an airplane okay cough all right let me take your picture walk through this body scanner Why fly at all? Why even travel? Well, yes. I know this is the conclusion you've come to as a wise man. Here's another one. Why travel at all? Here's the Texas Boeing subcontractor clip. Oh yeah! This is another interesting story... The Texas Attorney General is investigating a key Boeing supplier that's already under scrutiny by federal regulators over the quality of its work on Boeing planes

1:55:09 Ken Paxton says he's looking into Spirit Aerosystems because of what he says are apparent manufacturing defects that led to numerous concerning or dangerous incidents. A spokesman says Spirit Aerosystems doesn't comment on investigations. Paxton wants the company to turn over more than two years worth of documents about flaws in manufacturing and also about the company's effort to create a diverse workforce Got a note. Okay, well they got the diverse workforce in there so I don't know why they slipped that in now. Well, I guess they weren't doing enough because it sounds like they weren't doing enough about diversity but... Oh that'll fix it? ...I've been an inspector in an industrial situation when products come into debt or subcontracted out they have to be re-inspected by the company that receives it. That's where their responsibility begins and ends and is also something called final inspection on all these

1:56:02 operations and that's where the real rubber hits the road. This is bullcrap, blaming some subcontractor who doesn't have enough diversity Yes, I'm with you. What can you say? The news is just filled with this! Why are we even watching news anymore and reporting on it? We should just fold it all up. It's all the same. It's lies. Lies! Lies, lies, I tell you.

Guyana President Irfaan Ali on BBC Hard Talk

Guyana President Irfaan Ali appeared on BBC Hard Talk to defend his country's right to exploit vast offshore oil reserves. Ali pushed back against host Stephen Sackur's questions about carbon emissions, highlighting Guyana's massive forest that acts as a carbon sink. Despite the viral nature of the exchange, Ali affirmed his commitment to "Net Zero" and carbon credits, while emphasizing the need for oil revenue to fund sea defenses against rising tides.

1:56:39 No, yeah. Sochmed! Yeah that's what I call it the sochmeds. Sounds like the name of a soft drink. Yes, sochmed. Now in small cans this um...I don't know if you saw this it was BBC hard talk Stephen Sackur Oh where he...I have that same clip but you haven't. But I have the whole thing It's a little more to it And I just, I have some commentary about this. So everyone saw... By the way Stephen is a dick and hard talk has been like this forever where they just think it's so cool to be with a British accent to just grill somebody unnecessarily and not let you know and have this it's just a terrible... Hard talk

1:57:32 16 years ago, we started this show. I used to watch it because he had a different guy but ever since the Stephen Sackler guy or whatever his name is came on it and the arrogance and condescension of his style... The show's unwatchable in the BBC should take it off the air Well, it was doubly disgusting because what everyone...the clip that went viral And we're like, yeah! You stick it to the BBC man. You tell them, you tell them. But meanwhile this was an entire net zero promotion complete acceptance that CO2 is killing us

1:58:16 And the president of Guyana did not push back on the bogus climate change charges. No, he's all in on it! This was a promotion of global warming and everybody fell for it like yeah man you tell him carbon sink we have to be very careful about this climate change stuff this is this is the stuff well we're looking at Trump and Biden and Algos... It's the climate change This is how they're going to lock you down. Welcome to Hard Talk, I'm Stephen Sacker and today i am in Guyana South America a country of some 800 000 people which right now can claim to have the fastest growing economy in the world The reason? Oil! Vast reserves of this stuff located offshore My guest today is Guyana's president Irfan Ali

1:59:13 His country's newfound oil riches have stoked tensions with neighboring Venezuela. They've also raised questions about this country's vulnerability to climate change, so is oil really a blessing or a curse? All right so now we get into the thing that most people saw let's take a big picture look at what's going on here over the next decade two decades it is expected that there will be $150 billion worth of oil and gas extracted off your coast. It's an extraordinary figure

1:59:53 Think of it in practical terms. That means, according to many experts more than 2 billion tons of carbon emissions will come from your seabed from those reserves and be released into the atmosphere I don't know if you as a head of state went to the COP in Dubai Let me stop right there Do you know that Guyana has a forest forever? That is the size of England and Scotland combined If forests that store 19.5 gigatons of carbon, if forests that we have kept alive... Does that give you the right to release all of this carbon?

2:00:38 On climate change, I am going to lecture you on climate change because we have kept this forest alive that stores 19.5 gigatons of carbon that you enjoy, that the world enjoys, that you don't pay us for, that you don't value, that you don't see a value in, and that the people of Guyana has kept alive Guess what? We have the lowest deforestation rate in the world. And guess what, even with our greatest exploration of the oil and gas resource we have now, we will still be net zero. Guyana will still be net zero." So he's right there with Net Zero which means carbon credits because that's how you get to net zero He says carbon but it really means

2:01:18 carbon dioxide because that's just become the thing now. Oh, it's carbon! It's just carbon... No its carbon dioxide and it goes downhill from there. The Center for International Environmental Law has described the oil and gas production in Guyana as turning your country from as you rightly put it a carbon sink into a potential quote carbon bomb Now you may say you have every right... I mean come on! This thing is a climate change promotion. Climate, carbon bomb give me a break. Potential quote carbon bomb now you may say you have every right to exploit that oil and gas. That is ridiculous we even with our exploring

2:02:01 and production of all our resources, we are going to still be carbon neutral. We are still going to be carbon neutral. Let me quote you Greenpeace who say quite simply, To avoid the worst impacts of climate change... And you know that your own country is one of the most vulnerable to climate change because most of your population lives below sea level! And we have feared guess what? Now this is interesting So this guy, not only is he all actually really on a net zero but now he's reminded that his country most of his country lives below sea level. But he's all in on sea levels rise Of course because you know that's what Obama knows with this house on the coast. And we have paid guess what? Guess what? We have paid for the mitigation. We have paid for it up adaptation. We are the ones who have to find revenue no

2:02:55 No, no. I want to confirm that we are below sea level. We need to keep the majority of the world's remaining fossil fuels in the ground. Greenpeace can say that. You're not doing that! Greenpeace and you can say that but we need to get resources In the developing world, we need to get resources to build sea defenses. We need to get sea defenses to build a drainage and irrigation system. You just said that we are six feet below sea level! Who is going to pay for the infrastructure? Who is going to pay for the drainage and irrigation? Who's going to pay for development and advancement of our country? Are you going to pay? It's not coming from anywhere. It's not coming from Greenpeace or anyone else.

2:03:35 So, he's admitting we've got to pump the water out man. When the sea level rises and people start to drown you're not going to pay for that hard talk man! No! We're gonna pay for it with our carbon bill. Isn't there a cynicism here in Georgetown best expressed by your vice president who said recently because there is this climate change imperative to decarbonize our policy is to get as much oil out of the ground as quickly as possible. Now, he said that's harsh for those who think that you should be environmentally sound but that is the reality of it Those were very honest words from your vice president And that is what we are honest We're practical So you're rushing to get this oil out before any deal is done To quote Dubai cop to transition away from oil and gas You can say we are rushing But we are very practical We have this natural resource

2:04:25 And we are going to aggressively pursue this natural resource because we have to develop our country. We are committed to development of this region, we have to create the opportunity for our people because no one is bringing that for us. You know what it's bringing back for us? No one is paying our agenda." So while everyone thinks this is a big win it's not! The guy's all in his vice president's all-in and they're just they have a different solution let's do quick I like the analysis. I'm gonna give you a clip of the day! Oh, that is very kind of you. Because you're right everyone just played the funny part and I had the clips isolated because not because of the analysis but it was humorous Yes Cause it was Yeah totally And...but You are absolutely correct The whole thing could might as well have been scripted Yep Why else is there guy there? Hard talk man

Zelensky on CBS and Russian Torture Allegations

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appeared on CBS to request continued US ammunition support, noting that the funds largely stay within the US economy. Zelensky dismissed Vladimir Putin's claims that Ukraine was involved in the recent ISIS terror attack in Moscow. Meanwhile, reports emerged of Russian soldiers allegedly torturing suspects from the Moscow attack, including a video purportedly showing a soldier forcing a suspect to eat his own ear.

2:05:22 Yeah, and why did he go to Guiana from UK? That seems like a kind of out-of-the-way trip. I hear Guiana is beautiful this time of year Probably yes probably great time to take a couple weeks off. It is too. Yeah it has to be Should we do a little update on the other war that we stopped caring about you know the war that killed ten times the amount of people in Ukraine What war is this? Well it's the Russia-Ukraine War, the full scale invasion. Oh that still going on?! Yeah but people don't care about that anymore 400,000 Ukrainian men have died... But Palestine

2:06:06 You have a clip? I have a couple of clips. Here's Zelensky on CBS. But one thing that strikes me is you're defiant still, you seem more frustrated than optimistic now No. I got that wrong, you're still optimistic? No no i'm normal, i'm optimistic because this is only one plan how to survive

2:06:44 That plan for survival relies on US support, which has helped keep Russian forces at bay in recent months. It was very hard but thank God our partners including the US and Europe helped us with air defense missiles so we lived through the winter I understand that, but Americans will think we have spent tens of billions of dollars supporting Ukraine. Tens of billion? How about hundreds of billions? What's this tens of billions all of a sudden? Huh! billions of dollars supporting Ukraine. It would not be right to say we just need another year or a billion dollars, it doesn't work like that. Ammunition is coming to us but its production takes place in the US and money stays in the US

2:07:38 and the Texas are staying in the US. We joined him as he inspected vast, newly built underground bunkers just a few miles from the Russian border. They're also bracing for Russian retaliation after President Putin accused Ukraine of supporting the ISIS terror attack near Moscow last week. Allegations Zelensky dismissed as ridiculous

2:08:15 But that doesn't stop Putin from attacking you anyway. Yes, and that's what I want to tell you for him he doesn't care what the reason is for attacking us. Yeah, he doesn't care! He doesn't care! So then we have some anti-Russia, anti-Putin information which is coming from Fox News run by the Democrat Party, staffed by Nimrods. And this is a good one there were four suspects who went to court on Sunday and they didn't look very good did they? No I mean in about six hours after the attack the Russian military

2:08:58 arrested and captured these four people. They were driving west of Moscow, and they were pulled out of their car, and there are videos online showing frankly some brutal torture. There's one in which a Russian soldier cuts off the ear of one of them and makes him eat his own ear. Wow! I didn't see that video is that on Telegram? I didn't see it either, but it's a guess somebody must have seen it because that's the way the Russians operate. Exactly! They love ear eating cartilage. Yeah, it's cartilage. Mmm yummy. Let's do some quick financial news which is always... What are you laughing about? Just this crazy clip you just played Well, I thought I was going to get Clip of The Day. I already got my Clip Of The Day so I'm happy Oh no, You're not gonna get Clip Of The Day for ear eating

Sam Bankman-Fried Sentenced to 25 Years for FTX Fraud

FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried was sentenced to 25 years in federal prison and ordered to forfeit $11 billion for his role in a massive cryptocurrency fraud. The judge cited a risk that Bankman-Fried could commit future frauds if not given a significant sentence. Critics noted that while Bankman-Fried faces prison, many celebrities and politicians who promoted or benefited from FTX have avoided legal consequences.

2:09:55 I think it's up there in the realm of Clip of the Day territory. The Poonami would have gotten Clip of the day if that was true. Once lauded as the wonderkind of crypto who kept the company of the rich and famous, this morning Sam Bankman-Fried begins a 25 year federal prison sentence. Bankman-Fried addressing the court, you just need FTX! FTX wants the go-to celebrity endorsed crypto exchange. Behind the scenes, customers did not know Bankman Freed was using billions of their money for himself to prop up his struggling Alameda hedge fund at trial prosecutors played this interview with our George Stephanopoulos So you do know and you didn't know that FTX deposits were being funneled to Alameda?

2:10:47 So I was vaguely aware that that was how some wires were being sent in the first place. Didn't that set off alarm bells in your head? So there are a lot of people who are involved in that process and look, I really deeply wish that I had taken like a lot more responsibility for understanding What the details were of what was going on there customers of FTX lost everything one victim telling the judge? The money which I wanted to spend on a family home taken away as well As my children's education in addition to the 25 years in prison Bankman Freed was ordered to forfeit 11 billion dollars to compensate victims It's one of the stiffest white-collar Sentences handed down in recent years and it reflected. The judges worry bankman freed could commit another fraud

2:11:34 There is a risk that this man will be in a position to do something very bad in the future and it's not a trivial risk So they I have a take on this so they send this autistic kid who was completely built up by Forbes magazine By the media particularly hello CNBC. They send this kid to jail He'll come out when he's 50 And everyone else gets off. All the celebrities who took money to promote this obvious scam, the politicians who took money, money that went was slushed through to Ukraine His parents... his parents on the payroll Lawyers from Stanford Professors Everybody gets a free pass and they send this schmuck to jail

Universal Basic Income Rebranded as "Cash Aid"

Pilot programs for guaranteed income are expanding across US cities, often rebranded as "cash aid" to sound more palatable to the public. These programs, supported by tech entrepreneurs as a solution to AI-driven job loss, provide low-income households with $500 to $1,000 monthly. Opponents express concern that permanent "no-strings" cash payments could discourage workforce participation.

Cash aid was fringe before the pandemic, but after all those COVID stimulus checks and emergency rental payments interest exploded. Also, cities got their own pandemic money. They're using that along with philanthropy for small cash aid pilots. They target low-income households and pay them $500 or a thousand dollars a month for a year or two But as that pandemic money runs out, it's possible this trend could fizzle. Basic income is not meant to replace other assistance but add to it. To be clear this and other guaranteed income programs do not require people to work at all! That's a selling point for supporters they say can give people time and space to find a better job or new direction

2:14:09 But it's a big concern for opponents, especially if no strings cached were made permanent. So far with short cash aid pilots researchers say there has been no impact on whether people have jobs Some parents though have cut back gig work to spend more time with their kids It's coming except we're not gonna call it universal basic income or calling it cash aid Cash aid. Sounds so friendly! I don't know what they're gonna do to make this work, but...I mean, I agree with you because it just seems as though their system is set up and it's not as though the educational system hasn't brainwashed everybody enough to kind of expect it. So... Yeah and Andrew Yang? Yeah he popularized it The Prophet Yes Do you want an offbeat clip

ADL Labels "100%" as a Potential Hate Symbol

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) included the phrase "100%" on its list of terms potentially related to white supremacy, claiming it can be shorthand for "100% white." Donald Trump Jr. and Greg Gutfeld mocked the designation, pointing out the phrase's ubiquity in common language and its origins in the "100" emoji. Critics argue the ADL has lost its way by labeling mainstream expressions as extremist.

2:15:02 Something that shows that we're like years ahead of everybody else. Sure, do we get to play We Told You So on no agenda? No! That is the most annoying of all the jingles you ever created Thank God we stopped playing it So I've picked this clip off the... This is kind of a weird, it was a weird thing that happened. It needs a little discussion but this is from The Gutfeld Show. You're gonna spike the ball? Is what you're gonna do! Good for you With 100% clip Oh, you're not going to spike them. Well before I play at 100% clip can I just spike the ball for you? Okay, spike. Gutfeld did the Poonami

2:15:49 He did it as a sub-segment. He normally does, he's a sca...he does the scatological piece every so often and I expected that's where it was going to appear It was, he literally did 20 seconds Yeah Which is a little disappointing but yes this is uh A lot of people pick this up because we have been on this for a long time Years For years The Knights! On everything is racist The phrase 100% Donald Trump Jr. recently called out the Anti-Defamation League for including 100% in its list of terms related to hate and extremism According to the ADL, 100% can be shorthand for 100% white

2:16:35 If that's true, I've been surrounded by white supremacists for years. But it's 100% about the gift! 100%. 100%. 100%. 100%. You right now! 100%. 100%. Yeah awesome! 1000%. 100%. 100%. 100%. 100%. 100%. 100%. Yes a hundred thousand times percent! That's 100%? Okay, so I think the reason why they're doing this is because... 100 fricking percent. They want to nail Trump with it but i can tell you from my close- My best friend Moe is black! I always want to say that. But I have a good friend who's black So called black and this came by the way almost everything comes out of Black culture in America

2:17:28 And it was before... That's a stretch. Oh, I'd say a lot comes out of- What are you talking about? A lot! Yeah, you said everything. Almost. I said almost everything. I didn't say everything. Did I say everything? Yeah Okay Strike that from the record Well just continue with yours This comes- Continue please continue Okay Go on But go ahead But go ahead I'm sorry I can never get it correct You're getting it wrong But go ahead This is from the 100 emoji, which comes from Black America saying one hundred. One hundred! And then it became one hundred percent and everybody started using it and then my friend who happens to be black stopped using it because it became so popularized that it wasn't fun anymore It's an emoji! We should make a little 100 emoji. Yeah shouldn't we call Apple racist for having a racist emoji? Yes

2:18:25 I mean, come on. Yeah this is the anti-defamation... And when did they go? When did the Anti-Defamation League go south? They have really lost their way and it's been that way for a long time John. I think it has too! People just haven't called them out because they're afraid of him. Well you know the Southern Poverty Law Center is called they want their spot back They're the ones that are supposed to be doing it. Yeah, they're the worst! Are you doing a DH Unplugged on Tuesday? This Tuesday? Yeah why? I have something that...I think Andrew Horowitz your compadre so every Tuesday DH Unplugged I listen to religiously

Spinning Fish Mystery in the Florida Keys

Scientists are investigating a phenomenon in the Florida Keys where over 30 species of fish, including endangered sawfish, are spinning uncontrollably and dying. While some researchers point to record-high levels of the neurotoxin-producing algae Gambierdiscus, others cite "off-the-charts" ocean heat. A separate study found that 100% of bonefish tested in the area contained traces of human pharmaceuticals, including opioids and antidepressants.

2:19:08 It is a fabulous show if you want to listen to it more often than not. I listened to it all, I think all the time mainly just to hear because how do you talk about me? Yeah we'd do that every show yeah so now I'm talking about your show and it comes on at 8 o'clock Eastern Time or 9 It's, let me think six seven eight nine Eastern. Nine Eastern so 8 Central and it's a podcast and it's a value for value podcast. It's on the stream? It's on the stream! It's live on the stream. It's very...it's outstanding product I have a question for Andrew Horowitz. He is uniquely qualified to tell me what's going on with this story. All right, we're back now with the baffling underwater mystery. Scientists are trying to figure out the strange phenomenon impacting fish in the Florida Keys

2:19:57 causing them to spin out of control and then wash up dead. State Fish and Wildlife officials, and Florida's Bonefish and Tarpon Trust have logged nearly 200 incidents with over 30 species acting this way mostly in the lower Keys but as far north as Miami Yeah this is crazy I was out on a six-hour charter I had two people on the boat we were down off a ligament biting bank and we happened see fish floundering on the flats And then so we got close to him. We wanted to see if there was a problem and we could obviously tell that he was in distress It turned out to be a sawfish, a critically endangered species That might lose four or five mature adults a year But in just a few months at least 27 have beached themselves Or died after intense episodes of what anglers are calling the spins

2:20:46 So typically when we think of fish acting strangely or dying, we either think of low oxygen conditions in the water or red tide. And so we saw neither." At the Water School at Florida Gulf Coast University Mike Parson's team is part of a statewide effort to solve the mystery of the spinning fish and while tests for most toxins have turned up empty The most promising suspect is found living off seaweed at the bottom, a tiny critter named Gambier discus. This is the highest we've seen of the gambier's cells in the Keys We don't know if it's the main cause The single cell algae can produce various neurotoxins and is showing up at record high levels

2:21:25 But it's just one more stressor on marine life already reeling from pollution, overfishing and off-the-charts ocean heatwaves brought by climate change. They gave it away! Took forever! Have you seen this? No I have not... Oh they're spinning in circles not horizontally but vertically Like just, you know... They jump up and spin? Not jumping out of the water. Underwater! Just spinning around and around and around so climate change is one answer and here's another one off the charts ocean temperatures are of course just one of the massive stressors on marine life down here these days there was a three-year study recently in which 100% of the bonefish

2:22:12 Racist! We're tested in the keys, turned up at least seven different pharmaceuticals from opioids to antidepressants. And so this behavior has not been seen before but it is sort of an attack from a thousand different angles for the creatures living down here and may be a warning for the rest of us Yeah if you start to spin in the bathtub You know what's up? You gotta lay off drugs Wow. Yeah! I'll ask him because he's a major league fisher. He's a fisher, exactly. He's caught all the big boys and has done a good job. I have a clip for you... Okay? There is going to be a lot of called uber-files or umbra files. Umbra files? Umbra files? That's the person who is nutty about

Solar Eclipse Preparations and CERN Activity

As the total solar eclipse on April 8th approaches, regions like Travis County, Texas, have declared states of emergency to secure federal funding and National Guard support for the expected influx of tourists. CERN is also scheduled to activate the Large Hadron Collider on the same day, leading to various online theories. Observers note the significant temperature drop that occurs during totality, which some use to argue against solar-driven global warming models.

2:23:08 Solar eclipse. In a little over a week, a total solar eclipse will trace an arc across North America in that narrow path the skies will completely darken temperatures will drop it'll feel like the dead of night during the middle of the day if you're traveling to witness this rare event LifeKits Regina Barber has tips on what to expect Science writer David Barron says seeing a total solar eclipse is the closest thing to space travel you can experience without leaving Earth. It's like for a few minutes, you are suddenly transported into some alien world. Like living in some sci-fi movie seeing the sky that you've never seen and seeing the universe in a whole new way it really can change your outlook for years to come if not the rest of your life

2:23:56 It's really, you know, eclipse fever is off the chart here. And Fredericksburg took the express position to not promote Fredericksburg as a place to come see the eclipse many other times. I think that was smart! Yeah, Travis County which is Austin everyone's declaring a disaster emergency now and I know why federal money. So they're all declaring, oh we have a disaster! They've got the National Guard coming out... For some reason CERN- this is concerning- CERN is going to fire up the Large Hadron Collider on April 8th? Why? Yeah I know it doesn't sound like a good idea

2:24:46 So, you know... What do they say their rationale is? I don't know. They're looking for stuff. They're looking for stuff! But if we survive we'll have a first-hand boots on the ground I'll tell you this, when there's an eclipse...I've never been to a 100% one. Oh! Racist! Racists! Yeah. I'm pretty sure unless I was kid that I have not seen the total but I've seen 90 and 70. They happen every so often we get lucky when there is no cloud cover

2:25:22 The only thing that's to me, that's super remarkable is as soon as it happens the temperature drops like a rock. It's really cold and then but obviously the sun has got nothing to do with global warming. If you're not convinced that the sun has everything to do with global warming go down to Fredericksburg and spend five minutes of totality. It'll be so cold you won't imagine it's just really cold So Sir Gene is coming out, he'll come out Sunday the 7th in the afternoon and he's staying overnight. And we figured we could do worse you know because if everything shuts down if the world goes dark at least we'll have Gene Yeah he can just get... He's armed! He's prepared I think he's bringing his urban assault vehicle he's got everything I told you to bring in

2:26:17 The night vision goggles and the thermal glasses? We gotta look out for snipers. We got to keep people off of our lawn, telling you! Hey with that I'd like to thank you for your courage in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the carbon bomb say hello to my friend on the other end the one only Mr... John C.

Value for Value Model and Podcast App Innovation

The podcast continues to operate on the "Value for Value" model, relying on producer contributions rather than traditional advertising or data tracking. The hosts highlight the benefits of modern podcast apps like Podverse, which support real-time transcripts and chapters. They also discuss a 25% drop in industry download numbers after Apple changed how iOS 17 handles automatic episode downloads, exposing previous "scams" in podcast metrics.

2:27:12 Well, but it's Resurrection Day. It is Easter, yes I accept that. People are doing other stuff. Don't! What was the transgender rationale or something? Yeah exactly. Practice your pronoun day here The trolls are joining us usually through trollroom.io, that's where you can listen live, that's we're counting all these live trolls listening along and you can actually join the chat room and troll Which is actually the trolling's been kept to a minimum today. The trolls have been quite easy Yeah, we got the Easter trolls the Easter trolls are out with us today You can also participate by grabbing a modern podcast app I've been using pod verse again It gives you an alert when we go live you can get the stream live

2:28:06 Also, the minute we publish the show you get all of those cool besides the fact that you get it within 90 seconds. You get all of those fantastic features, the chapters that Dreb does. We have a transcript that runs in real time and you can search the transcript There's just tons of additional stuff and it's brought to you by non Silicon Valley douchebags. It's Mitch and his brother, man that is doing this together go to podcastapps.com there are 25 I think now to choose from And seeing as Google Podcast is closing this week

2:28:42 Did you know? We know that. You knew that, right? Google Podcasts is... I thought they had already closed. Nahh! They announced it real early. And moved everything to YouTube Yeah, YouTube Music. Yeah. That's gonna work No of course not stupid So go ahead and import your podcast into a modern podcast app We are in our 16th year of Value for Value which is as far as I'm concerned the only way to run a show like this because we don't just get the benefit of being able to speak our mind and not being censored. If only for not being able to mention a competing product, can you imagine? I couldn't just say, I'm drinking Waterloo today! And what are you drinking again? DePoller

2:29:31 Yeah, no. We'd have to be like... Oh John are you drinking your Perrier? Are you drinking your Perrier again today? Everything would be promoted but we would be making so much more money! But the show would suck. Let's face reality and people gotta appreciate that in some way I wouldn't be able to say hey i had a gigawatt coffee roasters coffee beforehand No! No! I have to be like Starbucks is the bomb it's great Now, that would be horrible. I had a good Starbucks meme in the last newsletter Yeah what was it? It was instead of going to Starbuck's and make coffee at home Shout out my name and mispronounce it And then burn a five dollar bill or something like that It was actually quite funny

2:30:22 No, instead we have producers. We don't even have listeners. We have producers. We're not tracking you. We don't have pixels." That's how they track people on podcasts. Make sure you download it and we'll track you with a pixel. And that pixel gets tracked all over the place... That was so old-fashioned! That was years ago they used to track with pixels. This is why the podcast industrial complex is not doing so well. You know ever since Apple came out with iOS 17 They stopped and it's such a scam. The way the way it works or the way it used to work is, you know, you subscribe let's say you have a daily podcast and you subscribe this daily podcasts and then you listen to what on Monday maybe Wednesday you forgot and then you listen again the next Monday And what Apple would do which was actually even better than most of these scam apps

2:31:17 is the minute you listened again, it would then go and automatically download the previous episodes. And they would count as downloads even though of course you're never going to listen to them No, you're never gonna listen to those old downloads So Apple stopped doing that It was the... Oh there! There goes the numbers 25% 25% drop in download numbers and there are still companies that are writing checks to advertisers, doing make goods for the rest of the year. Oh it's horrible because the whole thing is a scam! Sorry to say I mean i'm sure that you know if you have your... If you use code Bongino then you can track something but even then I mean that's called DI direct inquiry

2:32:06 Anyway, it doesn't matter. Our producers help us with time talents and treasure when you help us with time and talent that is that can often be a huge saving to us as an example we love having modern art that is new every single episode. We think it's good, we know that it works and people see these things like oh that's hilarious or cheesecake! And then they click and they listen to it and they get reminded of how awesome we are Or they're just intrigued if their New Time listeners Welcome New Time listeners You're now producers Newcomers!

No Agenda Art Contest and Tantaniel's Winning Entry

The weekly art contest featured a winning entry by Tantaniel, which depicted a "Kremberger" following the news of McDonald's partnering with Krispy Kreme. The hosts discussed the professional quality of the logo design and the challenges posed by the influx of AI-generated art. They emphasized that celebrity-based art is avoided to prevent legal and promotional issues.

2:32:46 So we'd like to thank them. We basically just provide this show as is, there's no hoops nothing you have to... No tricks, no ads, no corporate money. Premium content! Premium content just full on full value we give it our all, we don't hide anything behind. It's all premium content that is the point! And if you value it we just ask you to do something back for us and we want to thank the artist who did something back for us it was Tontineel who was back again at Tantanilla, got the mojo back and brought us... I mean this was so good for a specific reason. This was we had the story about McDonald's now carrying Krispy Kreme doughnuts and Tantanilla made a Big Mac with a glazed big mac which looks utterly disgusting

2:33:43 with like pink glazing, which was interesting because a lot of people said to be honest I'd eat that. Can you imagine there are people out there? There's a lot of people that like...there are some restaurants around the country if you watch these obscure shows like I'd Eat That! that produce this product Well, it looked disgusting to me. Yeah well that was disgusting to me too But that on his face was funny but then what Tantaniel did with the McDonald's logo and put this Noah jit made in an N and a A I mean that is... To me that was high level

2:34:23 professional work. It was very good in fact you tip I look at the artwork before you do and I concluded there was nothing Here's how it works after we do the show and I'm sitting here drinking coffee. I'm drinking my My black rifle then my gigawatt that I'm drinking a red, dr Pepper then I'm drinking a waterloo So by the time we've done the credits, I'm like okay Why don't you look at the art? I've got to pee and then I'll come back And then I'll sit down say and what are you fine? You're like nothing Normally, I'll say something. I think there's three or four good pieces here and then see if we match up but in this case it said there is nothing and I didn't really get a good look at for some reason the creme burger. Is that what it was called? Cream burger. Crispy cream. And there are just a lot of Taylor Swift as the devil and you really just...and then a lot of AI. Let's stop there for a second

2:35:28 Why do people not know us? We're not gonna put Taylor Swift as a devil in our art No, and why aren't we gonna do that John well. It's probably some legal issues that could happen we can get in trouble Maybe slanderous and you also can't use the celebrity to promote your product without paying That's the main issue right there There it is you got to be very careful with that So just looking there was, yeah you know the AI art is really ruining everything. I gotta tell you the AI art just ruins stuff

2:36:06 You look at it like, oh more AI eggs. To continue the story so he comes back relieved and I say there's nothing, there's nothing and he says aww... And he looks, he can't find money then for some reason this happens a lot by the way There is a piece like this Kremberger and neither one of us really noticed it first pass but when you see it its the winner and that's what happened It was obviously the piece to pick That's why there are two of us And as I understand from the socials, Tantaniel threw that logo in as an afterthought. Good for her! Whereas to me that's like... That made it! Yeah it didn't make it for me. I mean I liked it a lot but I just thought the whole piece was the best It's better for two reasons with the NA and the corner like that One is it balances the piece so the composition is better Yes

2:37:06 And the second reason? It's cute. Thank you to all the artists who participate in this contest, you can be an artist too! There are no rules just throw it up there open account and if we like it we will choose it If we don't we'll criticize you and belittle you that something that you never get into professional art world they will not tell you that was no good They won't, they won't call you Why bother No much work. Won't call you, won't pay you. NoahJennerArtGenerator.com if you're listening live You can just sit there and refresh And watch the art come in in real time

Knighting of Sir Chris and Sir Crocky

The knighting ceremony continued with Sir Chris, a homicide detective from Georgia, and Sir Crocky of the Cosmic High Country. Sir Chris shared his background in the military and his transition to farming, while Sir Crocky noted the 33rd anniversary of his first Grateful Dead concert. Both were granted their requested "Round Table" refreshments and titles.

knighting· homicide detective· grateful dead· round table· georgia

2:59:57 which do add up. In fact, we have two layaway nights which we are going to night today. I'm going to read one note in full and one I will skirt around the first ones from Scott he says I've now completed my night layaway plan September 22nd to March 24th this month and I wish to be knighted sir stick in the mud! I began listening after Adam's Glenn Beck podcast appearance and have awaited each installation since Yes, it's another installation of the NO Agenda show. Here are several more years of deconstruction." Thank you very much Scott! Then Chris Snipes came in and he says I hope this note finds you both well Adam happy Easter? He is risen indeed. I love your conversion and pray that you continue your journey no worries God bless John as a Catholic myself i hope you return to the church one day

3:00:46 And he goes on to say, it's a very long note. He's been a longtime listener. He began listening to the best podcast in the universe when JCD was a regular on that show in Petaluma. You guys got me through eight years of active duty army service thanks to The Global War On Terror I continue to keep my amygdala small thanks for your media deconstruction My wife and I have been married for 25 years We have seven children and I'm a homicide detective at one of Georgia's largest cities Do we have the best producers in the universe or what? That's a good one. He says, I also work closely with the FBI and other three-letter agencies but i'm not a spook! My wife runs a non-profit working to end abortion." And he goes, so they moved out of the city they bought 20 acres, they're building a farm growing meat chickens pork laying hens and will soon have sheep... We want to know where our food comes from

Yeah, the egg book I'd like to be known as Sir Chris Knight of the thin blue line and tender of the fall line farm Very nice normal fare at the round table will do just fine He says I'd like some jingles I'd like you're gonna need a Bitcoin and Bingo boom shakalaka actually I see we have three nights here So let me do that for you first They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose And your going to need a bitcoin And then, I'm sorry we had a third. This is the very long note this is Crocky and he says in the morning gentlemen this donation brings me to the roundtable always hitting them out by fellow producer nearly normal early in this scandemic despite listening faithfully through every donation segment since then I have yet to hear him donate in that time so I shall call him out as a douchebag

3:02:31 I have found the show and community around it to be immensely valuable, and happy to reciprocate with some treasure and encourage others to do the same. The NAS community is a small island in a sea of insanity but it's good place to stop and catch your breath as the world swirls around us. The deconstruction skills I've gained from this show have been immensely valuable helping to more clearly see the manipulation and agenda that M5eb uses against us And then he has oh man, it just went on and when very very long here but Sunday On the 33rd and it was a this weekend was an assault of message on you everything seemed to align It only is today in Easter show day with thirty three in the date

3:03:12 But it also happens to be exactly 33 years since I took my first long strange trip with the grateful dead on a fateful Easter Sunday that would undoubtedly steer my path in new and interesting directions, with the community not that all different from ours. How about that? Please knight me Sir Crocky of the cosmic high country! I would like the following at the round table... Oh yes, a long note and very long order. Sierra Nevada Nevada? Did I say it right? Yeah. Sierra... I'm traumatized by Mimi!

They may be right they may be wrong who I like that one That's a good one yes never ended it never ended Okay, it's funny person think that was hilarious but okay

3:10:39 It's not clear, Chris. And then come back! And we're gonna come back and do it again? Nah, I think it was chopped off... Let me see.. They may be right they may be wrong. I like that one the best. Okay, I'm in with that one. The other one was shot- it was- believe me Yes, it's hard. It's a hard life. It's hard. It's tough go when you got the thing You stretch it out and you look at the little lips on there And then you cut it off and y'all didn't work if you try to get in again all the life of a podcast I got good news, oh yeah.

3:11:29 I want to mention that other people do send these in but a lot of them are really old or they come off at tick-tock you don't know the dates and some of them are staged and haven't gotten many good things. So, people are not doing their best is what your saying? Yes. Okay. So this is the rescued Owlette. A baby great horned owl which fell from its nest and faced hypothermia is back with his family. Yeah, and that's thanks to the teamwork of Think Wild and the Sun River Nature Center Last Tuesday someone found this baby great horned owl in Christmas Valley The owlet had fallen from its nest And you can see the nest way up on top of that middle tree there That's a long fall 20-30 feet The nature center made the two hour drive and rescued the owlet

3:12:16 They brought it back to the non-profit Think Wild. The owlet was hypothermic, but staff helped with its recovery then on Friday the Sun River Nature Center reunited the young owl with his siblings and parents They're back in their nest in Christmas Valley. Think Wild says it's baby season for animals throughout Central Oregon, so keep an eye out! That's a great story... I thought it was cool they had a picture of an owl that the little owlet could look at while it was in the place. It'll grow quite a bit Yeah, and it was getting big too already. That guy is a douche! But that's a great story. That's a great-it was a wonderful story

3:12:52 He doesn't know how to back announce a good news story. No, no these two guys from this whatever station is in Oregon it's like Waldorf and Statler as the anchors and it's just like... It's just a real eye-roller to watch these two That's why you want have a lady on this set! And the good news is There will be a fabulous special for you on Thursday that you will not want to miss because you'll hear some crazy stuff. Some that came true, some that didn't. Which ones? Which red books did it? You'll have to turn in Thursday to find out. John happy Easter to you! Happy birthday in advance for Friday and happy giving your daughter away

3:13:47 Well, thank you very much. Happy Easter to you and whatever else you're up to. And by the way we have to thank somebody for the good work that Red Book show is actually was I didn't think it could be done as fabulous Yeah well he will be credited ad nauseam on this show of course He's one of our knights End of Show Mix is coming up We have Stefan Jacobson We have Professor Jay Jones from China and Sir Michael Anthony And I'm coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, soon to be in That Larry Show with Sinner's Sunday number 77. Remember us at noagenda donations dot com until next time adios mofos a hui hui and such!

3:14:51 And today Krispy Kreme is giving away a free donut between 5 and 9pm to celebrate. Gummies, pills, cocaine and ecstasy? Disturbingly graphic and disgusting details British royalty Prince Harry. We're sending you all what we call Puffy Flavor Camping I don't know if I could indulge in understanding what i was even looking at it was pretty wild So nobody tried to...you know some woman didn't come along? I'd say yeah! I did say that they were very curious how this was taking place. Two breakfast powerhouses are teaming up, three types of Krispy Kreme donuts will reportedly go on sale at McDonald's! Have you ever seen your kid through puppy camp? No. And he called these his freakout parties and I didn't necessarily understand why he said these boozy drinks

3:15:29 are not available in Dunkin' shops. Instead, they will be at local grocery stores and of course, Jenna and the liquor section. Of course! Why not? Sweeney says flow can be a bit of a gateway to addiction but anything can be addictive if you do it too much unless they're putting that conveyor belt inside of the McDonald's and rolling them off hot sticks What's her name? Shanna-han. Shanna Chan, and that's your new name yeah so let's make it a little racist while we're at it So she's a druid She's had a druidic ceremony When I went to Info World back in the 80s It was run by Druids Horns on their heads doing some ceremony There is alot of druidic

3:16:06 bull crap in Silicon Valley and she's a part of it. I met a druid in Amsterdam, we got DMT from a Druid! How do you know he is a druid? Dude... He had the horns on his head and everything Nooo Yes yeah he had lots of Stevie Nicks type flowing robes and stuff Nobody knows anything about him Pliny the Elder wrote of the Druids appreciation for both mistletoe and human sacrifice To murder a man was to do the act of highest devoutness, he wrote. And to eat his flesh was to secure the highest blessings of health. He even described a battle in Wales in which druids covered their altars with the blood of captives! This woman was introduced into the campaign because Bobby the Op came in and he's polling about 12% and initially he was taking from both Biden and Trump

3:16:56 But by bringing a druid in, you know she's wearing like a druidic tree outfit with leaves and stuff. A pagan woman she will kill any chance that the Trump voters gonna cross over and vote for Bobby Depp because he is only going to suck away the votes from Biden and that's the reason she is there. That's the op right there I completely concur word around town oh no! No, no way. And yes I have to agree that I don't like calling people gold digger easily but she sure seems to have all the traits of one That was the choice it's like well look you got a lot of money i'll make you my VP Bobby the op is just an insurance policy to make sure that Trump gets in

3:17:43 The disinformation pandemic has been a growing threat to public health, institutional trust and even to our democracy. Until now... Introducing NPC the first ever vaccine against disinformation misinformation and malinformation NPC protects your brain from unapproved propaganda using mRNA, Misinformation Reversing Neuro-Linguistic Activation. This nanotechnology reprograms your brain to generate thoughts approved by the FDA CDC and WHO making it easier to trust the experts

3:18:20 In clinical trials, the unvaccinated were more likely to exhibit independent thinking and other risk factors. NPC does not prevent disinformation's transmission or infections but may slow the spread reduce extremism and prevent the need for mandatory re-education Side effects of NPC may include brain fog triggering and testicular shrinkage. If you are allergic to totalitarianism, do not take NPC! Contact your local Board of Health for free testing and indoctrination. Finally a safe and effective treatment for disinformation with just one weekly injection into the skull get with the program with NPC

3:19:05 The best podcast in the universe! They may be right, they may be wrong.
