About this episode

Vladimir Putin issued a stern warning from St. Petersburg this week, targeting Germany and NATO allies for authorizing Ukraine to use Western long-range weaponry against Russian territory. The Russian President suggested these escalations undermine global security and could trigger a direct conflict with European powers. This geopolitical tension coincides with the 80th anniversary of D-Day, where the legacy of veterans like Albert J. Schoebel is being contrasted against modern shifts in the Bretton Woods economic order.

Jeffrey Sachs recently criticized American diplomacy, citing a decades-long strategy by figures like Dick Cheney and Zbigniew Brzezinski to decentralize Russian resources. Domestically, Dr. Anthony Fauci faced a House subcommittee regarding the six-foot social distancing rule and the origins of COVID-19 in Wuhan. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization confirmed a human fatality from H5N2 bird flu in Mexico, though the victim had significant underlying conditions. Dr. Deborah Birx and other health experts are now calling for mass cattle testing and mRNA vaccinations for livestock, sparking concerns over the cost and implementation of RFID tagging for herd immunity.

In a bizarre linguistic turn, TikTok activists are now debating the usage of the term ENBY versus NB, claiming the latter is reserved for the Black community. Vice President Kamala Harris faced heckling from Code Pink protesters during a Jimmy Kimmel Live taping, an incident largely scrubbed from the final broadcast. The episode also reflects on the retirement of Pat Sajak from Wheel of Fortune, marking the end of a 41-season run that outlasted the era of the Fairness Doctrine and the rise of syndicated talk radio.

Heat Dome Weather Patterns, Texas and Silicon Valley

The hosts open the program discussing the return of the "heat dome" weather phenomenon affecting both the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley. They compare the muggy conditions in the Southwest to the typically dry heat of Texas, noting that the peak of the heat dome has moved across their respective regions.

00:00 Put cameras in schools. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Thursday, June 6, 2024. This is your award-winning Give My Nation Media assassination episode 1666. This is no agenda. Currently very concerned and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've got really nice weather, I'm John C. Dvorak. Oh man, genius, genius. Can the man ad-lib or what? Or what?

00:40 Or what is the answer? Yeah, well we have the heat dome right now. The heat dome is back. Well the heat dome came over us and then it's moved to the southwest. Yeah, it should be right over you. You didn't call me that the heat dome was over you. Well it didn't stay here long. It was like a couple of days and then it just moved on but it's good. The aftermath is... is, you know, fine weather. Well, apparently we're at the peak. On both sides, by the way. Fine weather on both sides. We're at the peak of the heat dome. Peak heat dome, apparently. Does that mean it's hot? Oh, it's hot. Well, it's not just hot, it's muggy. And it's not typically muggy or moist up here. No, Texas has got a nice dry heat. Except for Houston.

D-Day 80th Anniversary, Schoebel’s Raiders and Family History

On the 80th anniversary of D-Day, the family military histories of the hosts are detailed, specifically honoring Albert J. Schoebel. Schoebel, a German immigrant who arrived at Ellis Island in 1912, served in the Signal Corps and landed at Normandy, earning a Bronze Star. The account contrasts his service with the internment of Japanese-Americans and the South Pacific service of Lieutenant Commander Renwick Eugene Curry.

d-day· normandy· signal corps· albert j. schoebel· world war ii

01:27 I feel what is run on the, yeah, I can imagine. Yeah, Houston, Corpus, not so nice and dry. Well, today we honor those who fought at D-Day, including my grandfather, Albert J. Opa Al-Shobel. Who landed? He was a D-Day. He was parachuted in. How did he get in? No, he got in on the boats in Normandy. And he got a bronze star. He was part of the Signal Corps, also known as, what was it? The Schoebel's Raiders. That was, he was lieutenant. His guys were called Schoebel's Raiders because that's my mom's paternal father. Schoebel? Schoebel, yeah. From Schwarzwald.

02:13 was born in Schwarzwald in Germany in 1907. Wait a minute, Schauble's Raiders were a bunch of Germans? No, Albert J. Schauble was born in Schwarzwald, Germany, 1907 moved to the United States, came to Ellis Island in 1912 and then grew up to fight against the Germans. Well, that's interesting because if he was Japanese, they would have put him in an internment camp. And my other grandfather, Renwick Eugene Curry, was lieutenant commander in the South Pacific and was actually a base commander of one of the bad ones, one of those really nasty ones that didn't turn out well for a lot of Japanese in the jungle. So anyway, it's been fun watching the royalty

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Bretton Woods Agreement, Global Economic Order and War Cycles

A report from France 24 regarding D-Day serves as a springboard for a discussion on the post-WWII economic order established at Bretton Woods. The summary covers the creation of the IMF and World Bank, the historical pegging of the US dollar to gold, and the 1973 collapse of that system. Speculation is offered that current European tensions may be used as a pretext for a "great financial reset."

03:08 Over there Biden pooping his pants at least that's what everyone says did you see any of that? I didn't see Biden pooping his pants Can you imagine ever when we started this show that that would be something we'd be discussing The US president pooping his pants at D-Day. He dropped the bomb, that's for sure. So of course in Germany and France, you know, everyone's talking about D-Day. And there was this report on France 24 which, you know, given the current temperature of the war in Europe, as Deutsche Welle has taught us, the war in Europe

03:49 and Germany squarely getting blamed for everything. It looks like Germany's gonna have to go to war, and they're gonna drag the French boys and girls in with them. This report pops- That's spooky. You ever heard of anything like that happening before? Well, it's that cycle. that I found most interesting in this report from France 24. D-Day led to the end of World War II and we could see great contrast before and after this period in terms of economic policies. For example, before the war, world leaders established high tariffs to prevent imports, they prevented colonial subjects from engaging in free trade and devalued their currencies in a bid to aid their domestic manufacturing base.

04:46 Well, following World War II, delegates from the 44 Allied nations gathered in Bretton Woods in New Hampshire to negotiate international financial order and economic cooperation. Following this, what's now known as the Bretton Woods Agreement had a number of outcomes. Well, first, it established two important organizations the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, the latter which back then had a different name with the goal of managing funds available for providing assistance to those countries devastated by the war. The attendees also agreed to a fixed currency peg against the US dollar which was in turn pegged to the price of gold. But by 1973 the Bretton Woods system had collapsed

05:29 Countries were then free to choose any exchange arrangement for their currency except pegging its value to the price of gold. I mean, these horrible douchebags could totally be like, you know, this is good. We got another opportunity. We get some more going in Europe. Then we can do the great financial recess. Peg everything to whatever. Peg something to peg it to something. I just yeah, it's just like wow that's the opportunity. That's the opportunity and it seems like Russia is in on it. This is the Buk M1, a medium range surface to air missile system that comes from Russia. On Wednesday Russia's defence ministry released this footage showing the system being deployed alongside an anti-tank gun and a D-30 howitzer.

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Vladimir Putin, German Long-Range Weapons and NATO Escalation

Russian President Vladimir Putin issued a warning in St. Petersburg regarding Western nations allowing Ukraine to use long-range weapons to strike Russian territory. Putin specifically targeted Germany in his rhetoric, suggesting that such actions undermine international security and could lead to a direct conflict with European NATO members. The hosts discuss the potential "re-bellization" of Europe.

vladimir putin· germany· nato· ukraine war· st. petersburg

06:21 Speaking to international news agencies in St. Petersburg on Wednesday, he said that it would mark a dangerous step for Western nations to allow Ukraine to use their weapons to strike targets inside Russia. Do you consider it possible to deliver such weapons to the combat zone to launch strikes on our territory and create problems for us? Why don't we have the right to supply such weapons of the same type to some regions of the world where they can be used to launch strikes on sensitive facilities of the countries that do it to Russia? He spoke particularly of Germany, who recently joined the United States in allowing Ukraine to use the long-range weapons that they are supplying to Kiev on Russian targets, which according to Putin would completely destroy their international relations and undermine international security.

07:08 And notice he doesn't say... What is this woman and this way she pronounces things? How what's up? Russia! I don't know, she's from France 24. Security! It's the new milieu over there, I don't know. She also said Kiev instead of Keeve. And that would have been... Keeve would have been perfect for her, but no, no, no, she didn't do it. So I'm just thinking that Putin didn't say America. No, he said Germany. Well, that's an interesting catch. And... Any of those remember the the the fabled advisors it we're not here to fight. We're just here to to train and advise.

08:06 to visit training centers there. The news coincides with the US President Joe Biden lifting restrictions on Kiev using its weapons inside Russia. The Kremlin said it would go to war with NATO if US weapons are used. But really only with the European NATO guys, it seems to me. It's like, hey, if America puts your weapons in there, we're going to war with France and Germany. We've had this discussion before some, I don't know, year or more ago about how the US may actually be involved in finding a way to rebelize Europe. Yes, I think that's been one of your thesai. Yeah, this is rebelization. Now, I'm going to go to a podcast that gives people a little... Oh, there you go, podcast. A little history.

CHAPTER 05 / 47 Discussion

Jeffrey Sachs, American Diplomacy and the Dismemberment of Russia

Professor Jeffrey Sachs appeared on Judge Napolitano’s podcast to criticize American diplomatic efforts in Russia and Israel. Sachs provides a historical overview of Western policy toward Russia, citing Dick Cheney’s 1992 desire to "dismember" the country and Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 strategy for a decentralized Russia. The discussion links these long-term goals to the current influence of figures like Victoria Nuland.

jeffrey sachs· judge napolitano· dick cheney· zbigniew brzezinski· victoria nuland

08:58 So, Professor Jeffrey Sachs was on the Judge Napolitano podcast. Sachs is good, man. He always comes out swinging and doesn't hold back on anything, really. Well, I only have part of it. I only have this part because this particular, because Napolitano seems to have, he has the cadre of McGregor and Sachs. Who's the other guy? Ritter. He always has, you know, they're like the same, same. It's like a troop. It's always the same guys. It's the same. It's a troop of guys that all have pretty much the same message. There's also one other guy, an ex CIA guy. So this is the Judge Knapp pod? Yes, it's Judge Nepod and

09:44 Sacks goes on and I'll just to summarize what he comes on for is to condemn the American diplomatic efforts in both Russia and Israel as we're incompetent boneheads. We don't know anything about Diplomacy and this is just a it's a fiasco. Oh, I don't doubt it And he go it just goes on and on about that. But the clip I ended up taking is because Napolitano decides to ask him what is with this deep-seated hatred of Russia, and he gives us a little history lesson that I think's worth listening to. Why does the West hate Russia? You know, people have this capacity of delusion, rant, groupthink. But I'll tell you, I went back to take a look at the end of the Soviet Union.

10:39 In December 1991, our defense secretary at the time, Dick Cheney, said, okay, this is They don't want communism anymore. Maybe Russia should be dismembered too. Why stop at the Soviet Union? The idea was already there. It wasn't about this communism or non-communism. It was about Russia. And so he was defense secretary. That started in 1992. And in 1997, as I was reviewing yesterday, Zbigniew Brzezinski in his

11:18 foreign affairs article, a strategy for Eurasia says, yeah, Russia should be a decentralized country. There should be a European Russia, a Siberian Russia, a Far East Russia as a kind of confederation. What are we doing? planning the dismemberment or the dissolution or the turn to a confederation of Russia. This is just blatant American arrogance.

11:55 But extraordinarily dangerous. And it has played out now over 32 years. Yeah, I think that's that makes a lot of sense that they the elites always wanted the riches of Russia and wasn't Vicky Noodleman, what wasn't she already in that cabal with with Dick Cheney? Yes, I think so. Now I want to say something that's kind of annoying about Jeffrey Sachs is that when you listen to him, I'm hearing Jimmy Kimmel. He has that same twang. He has a Jimmy Kimmel twang. I actually heard a little bit of you in there. Oh, I'm sorry. No, I mean it wasn't bad, but it was somewhere

CHAPTER 06 / 47 Discussion

NATO Enlargement, CIA Jihadist Strategy and Russian Resources

The discussion continues with Jeffrey Sachs' analysis of NATO enlargement and the historical use of jihadist fighters in Afghanistan starting in 1979 to entrap the Soviet Union. The hosts argue that Western elites are primarily interested in Russia's vast natural resources, including wheat, oil, and gas, and that Vladimir Putin is hated for interrupting the economic exploitation of the country that occurred in the 1990s.

nato· cia· afghanistan· jimmy carter· natural resources

12:38 doing this? Why does the weather... It was in there somewhere. Okay, well anyway, just to continue, yeah this is part two of this, Sax is not happy about any of this and he expresses it well. With this NATO enlargement, with we don't hear Russia, with regime change operations, with the US support for insurgencies along Russia's borders. Also going back by the way to 1979, 1980, when President Jimmy Carter assigned the CIA to work with jihadists, Islamic fighters

13:21 to fight in Afghanistan with Brzezinski's idea of entrapping the Soviet Union into a war in Afghanistan. And then that kind of jihadist activity became part of America's secret arsenal, extraordinarily dangerous, leaving in its wake war wars and instability all across Russia's borderlands. And then the NATO push and the NATO enlargement and the coup in February 2014, and the placement of U.S. missiles near Russia's borders after unilaterally abandoning the anti-ballistic missile treaty, and then unilaterally abandoning the intermediate nuclear force.

14:07 treaty under Trump. We're number one. Keep doing this that we call call the shots. We do what we want. We don't listen. Oh, that's a bluff. We're going to have a really bad accident. That's that's the problem. Like our president, D-Day, bad accident. Here it is. Vice President Dick Cheney swears in Toria Newland as U.S. ambassador to NATO. So she was already in there. natural resources of all sorts. Wheat, oil, gas. We must have our eye on it. I mean they just coast with the little, I mean they produce a lot of oil and they could produce a lot more, but they basically coast on that sort of thing. They have never gone out of their way to just exploit themselves to an extreme.

15:06 Obviously somebody else wants to do it. Well, and no one's been able to even come close. I mean, Hitler may have been coming, came the closest, come the closest. It's ridiculous. But it appears to me that everything was going along hunky dory. You know, we, we have bankrupted Russia. Everybody moved in Browder. Everybody was, was basically raping the country. Setting up big oil deals, gas deals, I don't know about wheat probably. And then Putin comes along. The foil! So that's why they hate Putin the most because everything was great. Why'd you come in here and ruin it, man? Well, yeah. All I know is it's kind of ironic that the D-Day thing, we're taking credit for everything and everybody who's a historian knows that Russia is the one who beat the Germans. Exactly.

16:06 Well, yeah, we put up that nice front we moved in from the in fact much of it was due to panic because we were afraid that Russia's gonna take over all of Germany and just make it part of the Soviet Union and so we had to freak out and go nuts to get over there as fast as we could at least get half of Germany foam finger number one baby Russians we're number one We're number one! Now let's throw some fuel on it. By the way, it's the cavalier nature of what we're doing. That's so annoying. It's very annoying and it just gets, it has to get on people's nerves. But can we somehow blame this on the Jews? That would be better.

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

Microsoft Report, Russian Olympic Disinformation and Cyber Threats

A Microsoft report claims Russian influence actors are targeting the upcoming Paris Olympics with disinformation, including a fake documentary featuring a deepfake Tom Cruise. The report warns of potential disruptive cyber attacks and phishing scams. The hosts express skepticism, noting that Russia's conflict with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) predates the current war in Ukraine.

microsoft· olympics· tom cruise· deepfake· cyber attack

16:45 Yeah, but Russia, Russia, we got Russia's a big problem. They're meddling, meddling once again. Tonight with Paris gearing up for this summer's Olympics, two reports warn of Russian disinformation targeting the games, including fake videos aimed at spreading fear of violence and damaging the reputation of the Olympics produced a Microsoft report says. Well, that must take a lot of work. Isn't that great? Oh no! Spreading fear of violence and damaging the reputation of the Olympics. Damaging the reputation of the Olympics. Produced a Microsoft report says... Microsoft report, this is the best part. Well, Microsoft is my, you know, whatever happened to Microsoft, they became just another agent of the intelligence community. Microsoft, you might think, might as well give them one of those, a logo.

17:39 Their own little agency logo with it with an eagle in it. Yeah, I agree produced a Microsoft report says by prolific Russian influence actors this bogus documentary posted last summer titled Olympics has fallen featured a deepfake Tom Cruise while a second report published tomorrow by US cyber experts recorded futures seen by NBC News Says Russia is the most likely primary state actor to target the Olympics with a disruptive cyber attack. President Putin... Disrupting what? Disruptive cyber attack is disruptive. You know, when it says something bad, when you have a fake Tom Cruise, people get disrupted. And by the way, the fake Tom Cruise, which has been floating around for I don't know how long, way before the AI trend... Years. Years is great. Years. It is great because it's a fake looking Tom Cruise with a voice actor that's doing the voice.

18:36 Yes. To target the Olympics with a disruptive cyber attack. President Putin furious with France for its support of President Zelensky and Putin angry at the IOC for banning athletes from competing under the Russian flag because of the war. No, that's been going on for what? Years before the war. Way before the war. Yes, long before that. Why won't they tell us that? When did it begin? It was like the last Olympics the Russians weren't allowed. I think... And that was way before the war. Yeah. The Olympics is just a great target if you are Russia. Russia has a long standing beef with the IOC over the expulsion of Russian athletes for cheating. Paris has invested billions to beef up security. Facing challenges, one of the reports says, not seen since London 2012, from protests to cyber attacks.

19:30 Warning, cyber criminals will be attracted to such high-profile events and the chance to target the public with email phishing scams and suspicious links. So, oh, if only we could have the games free from cyber threats. Dude, have you looked at your inbox lately? It's nothing but cyber threats. This is continuous. Where's the AI to fix all that, huh? You know, you mentioned Jimmy Kimmel. Well, it doesn't happen often that I have... It's not really directly a Jimmy Kimmel clip, but something kind of fun happened. I guess this was yesterday at the taping of Jimmy Kimmel. He had Vice President Kamala Harris on.

CHAPTER 08 / 47 Discussion

Kamala Harris, Jimmy Kimmel Live Protest and Code Pink

During a taping of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by protesters from Code Pink who labeled her a "war criminal." Security guards reportedly told protesters they were under arrest for interfering with a live television broadcast. The hosts discuss the scripted nature of late-night talk shows and the removal of the heckling from the final broadcast.

kamala harris· jimmy kimmel· code pink· war criminal· protest

20:28 Yes, did you see any of this? I did. I saw quite a bit of it. It's not it was like how could you find a lighter softball? To toss to her constantly. She did was it the one of the words? Oh, you said hopeless. You saw the actual show. Yeah, I didn't I know anything about the pre show. Oh, no. While she no, it's not the pre show. They I guess. That's why I'm sad that I didn't see it. But so you didn't see any of the protests? No. So Code Pink, hello Code Pink and other associates, the minute Vice President Harris sat down, and this is only 45 seconds because it's a little hard to hear, I think probably through clean feed to you, but people at home with buds in the ear will hear it.

21:18 Coldpink and Associates were all over it. You're interrupting my flow. All right. Anyone else has anything to say? This is the time. You are a war criminal! You are a war criminal! They had the band play and they were dragging people out of the audience and then another pod of people would pop up and start protesting. I guess they had to start the interview over several times.

22:21 And obviously it didn't make it into the show. But I think the funniest thing for me personally is this little bit backstage where they, so they drag these protesters backstage and there's this guy in a suit and he's telling them that they're under arrest. You're under arrest for interfering with a live television broadcast. Wow. The guy's just a security guard and they're like, no, I'm not giving you my ID. Believe me alone. They tried to lock him in. They just busted the door open. No, but in all sincerity, this guy's like, that doesn't matter. You're under arrest for interrupting a live television broadcast. We are the mainstream media. Don't you know who we are?

23:12 Wow, that's hilarious. Flabbergasting. I missed that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's all cell phone footage. Good catch whoever got all those clips. No, I've found that actually. Okay, good. Well, congratulations. Yeah, but I mean, you're always trying to discredit the work that I do. No, yes. Yes. No. Yeah, exactly. There you go. Just to keep you in line. When it needs to be credited, I am always the first to credit. I'm like that. I'm like that. So the other action, which I know you have one of the clips, which is good. The other action, oh so much action, three hours of action. It was fiery. Wait, before you make, I'm sorry, before you make that segue.

23:56 Because what you just played I think it may may excuse Kimmel being extremely ridiculous with a softball questioning of Kamala because that's an embarrassment to the host of a show like that to bring a guest on and then have them heckle her to the point where they have to arrest them for interrupting a live broadcast. Oh, I don't think so. I don't think so. No, he was gonna saw Kimmel doesn't you think yeah, well, I mean, yeah, it makes sense that he would softball or anyway But it's script. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the whole thing is scripted. It's scripted. She knows the question She already has her answers

CHAPTER 09 / 47 Discussion

Anthony Fauci, Congressional Testimony and Social Distancing Rules

Dr. Anthony Fauci testified before a House subcommittee regarding the federal response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Fauci faced questions about the "six-foot" social distancing rule, which he admitted was not based on clinical trials, and the origins of the virus in Wuhan. The segment highlights Fauci's emotional response to death threats against his family and the partisan divide over his legacy.

anthony fauci· nih· cdc· social distancing· wuhan lab

24:37 These shows are scripted. I mean questions like what tooth whitener do you use? Did he actually use that one of his questions? No, but that's it was just one question short of that one. Listen, nobody in the Noah Jen the nation wants to softball her, okay? So that's just the end of it. Go! I'm just full of it. I don't know what to say. I'm horrible. I'm horrible today. I'm horrible. You're terrible. I repent. So back to the fiery action in Congress. In a contentious hearing on Capitol Hill, Dr. Anthony Fauci choking up as he described death threats against his family. It is much more troublesome because they've involved my wife and my three daughters. At this moment, how do you feel? How do you feel, Dr. Fauci? During the nearly four hour hearing, Fauci defending his record as the face of the nation's pandemic response, facing hostile questions over policies like social distancing and masks.

25:35 When you and your agency made mistakes, Dr. Fauci, what happened? We all need to be held accountable. Sometimes it's as simple as saying... We were wrong. But Fauci defiant, rejecting unfounded GOP accusations he helped fund research that caused the COVID pandemic. Unfounded? Covered up a theory the virus may have originated in a lab in China. None of us can know everything that's going on in China or in Wuhan or what have you. And that's the reason why I say today and I've said it to TI, I keep an open mind as to what the origin is.

26:14 David, House Democrats investigating the pandemic say they've gone through hundreds of thousands of documents over the past 15 months. None of them provide evidence showing that Fauci covered up the so-called lab leak theory. I mean, that's all the reporting was about. Yeah, that's all the reporting was about. Who was, what reporting outlet was that? That's terrible reporting. That was ABC, I believe. Yeah. Wow. I can't see. Yeah, ABC. Here's the NBC reports the same. Tonight, Dr. Anthony Fauci in the hot seat. You belong in prison. I am so sorry that you are subjected to those level of attacks. House Republicans pressing the former face of America's pandemic response on past COVID restrictions, including that

27:04 rule Americans should stay six feet apart. Fauci told the committee behind closed doors that six-foot rule sort of just appeared, today clarifying he meant there were no clinical trials done. just appeared is substantial justification for the regulations that we saw based on that six-foot rule. When saying it just appeared, it came from the CDC and you didn't feel an obligation as the lead scientist at the NIH to challenge that. I've challenged the CDC multiple times publicly. You challenged them on the six-foot distance rule? It is not appropriate to

27:43 be publicly challenging a sister organization. Republicans also pressing him on COVID origins. Fauci denying he downplayed the possibility of a leak from the Wuhan lab in China. Do you agree that there was a push to downplay the lab leak theory? Not on my part. Really? Really? Wow. Wow. I think I think most of the country find that find that amazing. But look at the facts. I've kept an open mind throughout the entire process. Fauci emotional talking about the threats he and his family still face. It is very troublesome to me. It is much more troublesome because they've involved my wife and my three daughters. So I think that to a degree, this whatever people saw of this hearing, and I know you have the, you've got the money shot clip, whatever people actually saw of this hearing,

28:33 It either just makes you give up on the public health system or completely confirms that Republicans are crazy. I mean, and it seems like such a dumb thing to do. Well, you left out confirms the fact that the Democrats are apologists for this stuff. They're just not going to put up with letting the Republicans ask any real questions or get to the bottom of anything as though they're part of some scheme. And all the people want is just for somebody, even if, and Chris Cuomo couldn't even do it.

29:09 In the value-tame-it debate, all we need is for one person to just say, you know, we really screwed up on that, didn't we? We really... and you don't even have to... I think you don't have to go in too far. Just say, you know, we were wrong, man. We were wrong. I mean, now you even have the Telegraph in the UK, which is, you know, it's not the Daily Mail. It's better than that, I'd say. Marginally. Marginally. But they have, oh, looks like COVID vaccines could be responsible for excess deaths over the past three years. It's coming out. The season of reveal is here. It really is. Well, they've been talking about the excess deaths for over a year. It's hardly what I would call a season of reveal. This has been dribbling, dribbling, dribbling. So it's like the season of dribbling. But a season can be a hundred years in my book, you see. A season is not like summer.

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

Chris Cuomo, Ivermectin and Media Accountability

The hosts discuss media figures like Chris Cuomo, noting his recent admission to taking Ivermectin after previously criticizing its use. They reference a report in The Telegraph regarding excess deaths potentially linked to COVID vaccines. The discussion focuses on the lack of public apologies from health officials and the influence of pharmaceutical advertising on news coverage.

28:33 It either just makes you give up on the public health system or completely confirms that Republicans are crazy. I mean, and it seems like such a dumb thing to do. Well, you left out confirms the fact that the Democrats are apologists for this stuff. They're just not going to put up with letting the Republicans ask any real questions or get to the bottom of anything as though they're part of some scheme. And all the people want is just for somebody, even if, and Chris Cuomo couldn't even do it.

29:09 In the value-tame-it debate, all we need is for one person to just say, you know, we really screwed up on that, didn't we? We really... and you don't even have to... I think you don't have to go in too far. Just say, you know, we were wrong, man. We were wrong. I mean, now you even have the Telegraph in the UK, which is, you know, it's not the Daily Mail. It's better than that, I'd say. Marginally. Marginally. But they have, oh, looks like COVID vaccines could be responsible for excess deaths over the past three years. It's coming out.

30:05 I would have said summer of reveal. It's the season. It's coming people and it's discrediting the maids. It's not coming. It's coming. It's coming. I can feel it. Yeah, well you can feel it all you want. It's not coming. It's been covered up. The Democrats are not going to put up with it. You can't even get Cuomo to say I'm sorry I was wrong. You're right. And everybody says that. Why doesn't he just do that? He's taken ivermectin after telling people never to take it. And he himself is now taking it as some sort of I don't know why he's taking it at this point. He's had COVID. He's over with it. I mean, don't you think that in the split nation that we have over this particular issue, that if I mean, what is Cuomo afraid of? What is he afraid of? That he's going to get no longer get invited to the New York dinner parties?

30:58 I mean, dude, you can come to the heartland. We'll embrace you. Well, actually, you've asked a good question because I wonder what he is. He must be, unless his ego is, which is possible, so nuts that he can't admit to being wrong ever. What is he afraid of is that I maybe it is that maybe what you just said is true it there He's afraid of not getting invited to the dinner parties or the cocktail parties or whatever they do And where's Collins and all this he kind of started to do a bit of apology and then he disappeared real quick This is like us. This is Let's just stop allowing pharmaceutical companies to advertise in the media period look and I bet you this would end and

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

Marjorie Taylor Greene, George Floyd Comparison and Fauci Criticism

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene delivered a heated critique of Dr. Anthony Fauci following his congressional hearing, suggesting he belongs in prison for "crimes against humanity." Greene also pushed back against Representative Jamie Raskin’s comments regarding Donald Trump, comparing the media's treatment of Trump to that of George Floyd.

marjorie taylor greene· anthony fauci· george floyd· jamie raskin· lockdowns

31:47 Well now the the shit the money shot I have is a money shot. It's the money shot. It's a good one Yeah, this is Marie Marie Marie Greene, who I didn't realize that she had such a foul mouth. Now is this in the house or is this outside? No, this is afterwards when she was... Yeah, yeah. This was the best. Because she got rousted and because she was... She's being a dick. That's what she does. She's a congressional dick. She's good at it though. Yeah. And so she comes on and now she's steamed up because of a number of things that happened

32:25 During the hearing and she just unloads on some poor reporter now This is one of those in the hallway clips that really got cleaned up beautifully by Adobe didn't that brains? No, it's clean. I'm sorry Okay, play it didn't that brains? No, absolutely not. I mean everything I said is correct. It's how the American people feel. It's what we know to be a fact. It's all the evidence has been proven true. We had Jamie Raskin in there accusing us of worshipping Trump, worshipping as a convicted felon. Well, yes, so is George Floyd. And you all too, the media worship George Floyd. Democrats worship George Floyd. There were riots and burning down the fucking

33:08 country over George Floyd and Rathkes in their state we worship them. Excuse me let me correct you and this is really important I don't worship I worship God. God. And Jesus is my savior. I don't worship President Trump. And I'm really sick and tired of the bullshit annex I have to deal with constantly from the Democrats. So that's what we just went through in there. And then they're sitting there, they can attack my character all day long. What's his face in there? Whoever was talking last was calling me insane. But yet we can't say, oh, they're attacking my character?

33:44 I don't know, it's nonstop BS and annex. You wanna know why? The Democrats don't have anything. They're responsible for the lockdown, forced vaccination, chance being forced to stay home, people committing suicide, and all the horrors that this country lived through during COVID. Fauci belongs in prison. He should be tried for mass murder, and he should be tried for crimes against humanity. That's how I feel after that hearing. That's how the American people feel. Okay, I'm gonna disagree that Adobe cleans it up beautiful. It makes her sound like she has a lisp. Fouty. I was not impressed with Adobe. Believe me, compared to the echoey origins, that was a very good cleanup.

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

H5N2 Bird Flu, Mexico Fatality and Media Alarmism

The World Health Organization reported the first human death from the H5N2 strain of avian flu in Mexico. NBC News coverage of the event is analyzed, with the hosts pointing out that the 59-year-old victim had significant underlying health conditions and had been bedridden for weeks. They criticize the media's use of "breathless" reporting to suggest a new pandemic is imminent.

34:29 So, and I think she made big mistakes inside Congress where all of a sudden she's holding up the beagles being tested. The beagles was the best. Yeah, I don't have that clip. I mean, come on with your beagles. I don't have the clip either. So what do you think the percentages, what do you think that, okay, let me rephrase this. So let's say we have a new pandemic on the horizon, scamdemic, because that's what this was. I mean, unless you believe that flu went away. What are the chances that they can pull this hat trick or this trick again? The flu went away. How does that work? Do you think that they can do this again? That enough of the media still, well the media still obviously is all in. Our government pharma agencies are clearly still in. Pharma is in. Pharma is still advertising. Do you think they can buffalo enough Americans into, I don't know, mail-in voting again? No.

35:29 They're gonna give it a shot. But they aren't exactly sure because he had no previous exposure to poultry or to other animals. They're not sure how he got it. His death came a week after developing a fever, shortness of breath, diarrhea and nausea. The organization adding he did suffer from underlying health issues.

36:10 The announcement comes as an outbreak of a different and more common strain of the bird flu was detected in a number of dairy cows in the US. There have also been at least three human cases tied to the H5N1 strain right here in the US, all connected to farm workers. These are the symptoms for the avian flu strain currently circulating around the US. It includes fever, sore throat, eye redness, and other symptoms similar to colds. There are a number of questions tonight, including if this new strain has made its way into the US. Yes. How is it circulating? There's three remote cases, none of them connected to each other. Here and there over like the last six months, three out of 300 million people, which is one in a hundred million. Hello. And it's circulating and they use the word circulating? This is why I asked you the question. Is this ABC?

37:04 This NBC. This NBC, that's Tom Yamas. So this is why I asked you the question, do you think they can do it again? And you said no way. And I say no way. I stick with that. Yes. And you don't have to be so shocked at the rest of the clips I have of this. Okay. You don't have to be, you know, I'm going to be shocked. You don't have to be shocked and yelling about how crazy it is. Because obviously they're doing it again. What we're missing is the people falling over in China on TikTok. We don't have that yet, but let's bring in our remote reporter now for some details on the contacts and the backstory, which of course

37:43 Of course softens it a bit, but we're not done yet. The World Health Organization says this 59 year old had about 30 contacts. 17 of them were at the hospital. One of those people reported having a runny nose, but Tom, not one of them tested positive for this strain of the avian flu. Now here's what's interesting. There were 12 other contacts near that man's house. Just listen to the words they're using. Contacts, spread. I mean, just stay with it because this is the same script. not clear, but among almost three dozen contacts so far, this man is the only one to actually test positive for this strain. H5N1, sorry, H5N2 is the version in Mexico, H5N1 is the version in the United States. As for H5N1, it had been running rampant, as you said, through cattle. It had led to cases, positive cases of three people at least.

38:50 in the United States have contracted it. None of them died, but it was also... He's breathless, he's breathless! Wait a minute, he's not only breathless, but he's making mistakes. He's ruining the script. It's H8N2 in Mexico, not H5N2. He says H5N1 in the United States and H5N2 in America. No, no. We already know it's not that. I'm not so sure. I think all these different numbers, I think they're meant to antagonize us. Oh, it's the H5N1. No, it's the H5N2. No, it's the H8N2. Oh, no, it's the H791. Well, it got me antagonized. It's like hit it straight if you're going to come up with some bogus story that's

39:36 Total horseshit. I'm just presenting the evidence. No, I know what you're trying to do. And I think your case is positive. You can make the case. You ask me what I think is going to happen, I still say no. I tested positive! My case is positive! spot and don't worry it's a shaggy dog John don't worry. None of them died but it was also obviously poultry before it was cattle in the US. When it comes to Mexico so far the only cases have been in poultry and again as you mentioned Tom this had not been detected in a single human anywhere in the world until now it's the only case and he has died but there is a back story to this. 59 year old man according to his relatives Tom was bedridden for some three weeks with

40:19 other conditions, right, unrelated to the acute symptoms he experienced from H5N2, but then also had underlying medical conditions and then reports these symptoms. So is this a function of his medical health or is it a function of the strain itself? That's what scientists right now are trying to determine. Now we of course laugh about this because the guy died clearly from death, you know, obviously, and he got a runny nose and that didn't help. But I think for the older generation who are all in on Chris Cuomo and Tom Lamas and all the M5M and love Fauci, I think that they're thinking, wow, I have all kinds of... I'm feeble. Anything could happen. So now, now it got exciting. Now we're going to bring in an expert.

41:04 I'm joined tonight by Dr. Nahid Badalia. She's an infectious disease physician and founding director of Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. We thank you so much because you're an expert in this field. Now, Nahid Badalia, she worked as the director of national outreach for Oxfam America, working on projects related to civic engagement of young Americans in voting and policy change issues. How about that? That's a good catch. In 2002, she worked with Massachusetts Campus Compact on a project funded by Pew Charitable Trust to promote voting among college students. Stop banging your drum. It's a little annoying now.

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

Nahid Bhadelia, Raw Milk Warnings and PCR Testing

Dr. Nahid Bhadelia, an infectious disease expert, appeared on NBC to discuss the H5N1 outbreak in U.S. dairy cattle. She advised the public to avoid raw milk and sick animals, though she noted the risk to the general public remains low. The hosts highlight Bhadelia's background in civic engagement and voting projects, questioning her role as a primary medical expert for the network.

40:19 other conditions, right, unrelated to the acute symptoms he experienced from H5N2, but then also had underlying medical conditions and then reports these symptoms. So is this a function of his medical health or is it a function of the strain itself? That's what scientists right now are trying to determine. Now we of course laugh about this because the guy died clearly from death, you know, obviously, and he got a runny nose and that didn't help.

Anything could happen. So now, now it got exciting. Now we're going to bring in an expert.

41:04 I'm joined tonight by Dr. Nahid Badalia. She's an infectious disease physician and founding director of Boston University Center on Emerging Infectious Diseases. We thank you so much because you're an expert in this field. Now, Nahid Badalia, she worked as the director of national outreach for Oxfam America, working on projects related to civic engagement of young Americans in voting and policy change issues.

Stop banging your drum. It's a little annoying now.

41:47 She completed her medical training in New York at Mount Sinai Hospital in Columbia, Presbyterian. So she is an expert on young people and voting, but yet she's now being brought in as an expert on the bird flu. She's going to backpedal a bit, but she's an important person in this scheme. want to be very transparent with our audience here. We do not want to scare anybody and I don't want to scare viewers out there because we're just getting out of the pandemic, right? So doctor, if you can kind of... Listen to what he says. I first want to be very transparent with our audience here. We do not want to scare anybody and I don't want to scare viewers out there because we're just getting out of the pandemic, right? Right. No. When someone says that, that's exactly what he wants to do.

42:30 That's exact, that's, if I were to write a script to scare people, I'd say, we're not here to scare you because we just got out of something like this. Don't worry, not here to scare you. So doctor, if you can kind of walk us through this, what do we need to be concerned about, if anything at all tonight? Well, Tom, I wanted to start by saying both in the case of H5N1, which is circulating here in the US, or in the case of H5N2, the risk to the general public as of now still remains pretty low. For H5N2, the infection that just happened in Mexico, we don't even know if it can be transmitted human to human yet. As you said, this is generally a virus that goes from poultry or birds into humans. Of course, with

43:08 strange about this is that this is a person who clearly didn't have that exposure. So I think coming weeks are going to tell us a little bit more. But in terms of how you protect yourself here in the US with what's going on, because it's circulating among cattle and circulating among birds, the biggest thing to do is to stay away from sick animals. And we know that this virus could appear in raw milk The forest pasteurizes and always drink pasteurized milk and avoid raw milk. Lies! Those are some of the basic things that you can do to avoid that particular outbreak that's going on. Is it transmitted at all through eating beef or chicken?

43:44 Yeah, there is no evidence currently that there is a risk of transmission because the USDA did a study looking at beef muscle and symptomatic cattle that they looked at and in 100 something samples that they looked at only one was positive. In most cases cooking killed it. And so there's to date nothing has been documented that shows that that could be a risk. So I would not I would not be worried about it at this point. That's good news. Okay, so now taking the script. But I would say raw milk is the new mask. As long as you stay away from raw milk and beef and chicken, not yet, don't worry, that'll be the wrong mask. Oh no, you just have a bandana. No, no, no, no. N95. Stay away from beef and chicken.

44:32 And now comes the most important part. Explain how humans and especially farm workers get this. Because from what I've read, it's transmitted from cows that are sick. Is it respiratory? Is that how it's transferred? Yeah, I want to differentiate what's going on in Mexico from this. So from the H5N1 that's going on here in the US. What's going on here in the US is a little bit more concerning because we're seeing this H5N1 outbreak appear in the first time in dairy cattle and it's really spreading. As of yesterday, it was nine states. It's really spreading. And 82 farms and of course... Oh, 82 farms. When you say farms, do a little downbeat. 82 farms. Yeah, make it down. And 82 farms. And of course, what the thought

45:13 majority of that exposure is farm workers working very closely in some cases with that raw milk that has a high amount of virus. Hello? Hello, the PCR test has a high amount of virus. But there is a concern that we don't know enough about how it's being transmitted. Even the PCR test has not proven that. They've only found particles. No, I know that, but no one else knows that. We know that. That's why we saved, literally saved people during this scamdemic. I'm just getting people to get saved again. be saved again. In some cases with that raw milk that has a high amount of virus. But there is a concern that we don't know enough about how it's being transmitted on farms between animals or between animals and humans. That's why additional testing is needed to nail that down. So while this is taking place and I could play you the NPR version, I could play you the ABC version. I won't bore you with that. But right on cue, in comes the CEO

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

Deborah Birx, Armata Pharmaceuticals and Mass Cattle Testing

Dr. Deborah Birx, now representing Armata Pharmaceuticals, called for weekly PCR testing of every dairy cow in the United States to track asymptomatic bird flu spread. The hosts calculate the immense cost of such a program—potentially billions of dollars per week—and suggest it is a strategy to benefit biotech firms and testing manufacturers.

deborah birx· armata pharmaceuticals· cattle· pcr testing· biotech

46:16 of biotech firm Armada, who specialize in respiratory diseases with new hair and a new facelift. Welcome back to the stage, Debra. We're seeing a lot of concerning reports about bird flu at the moment. The outbreak... No we're not. It's concerning. Wait, keyword concern. We're seeing a lot of concerning reports about bird flu at the moment. The outbreaks in cows leading to, you know, tests in milk. I'm getting questions from my friends who are also moms. Is this... Is this safe? Is it not? What is the level of concern right now about that potentially becoming a pandemic? Well, thank you, Casey, because this is why I'm really concerned. Because we're making the same mistakes today. Now listen, she's very concerned because we're making the same mistakes. Well, thank you, Casey, because this is why I'm really concerned. Because we're making the same mistakes today.

47:08 That was maybe you. I want you to see if you don't stop talking. I want to restart it every single time. She has good, funny things to say. You're going to miss it. I'm doing this thing. Nothing doing this for your benefit. I want you to hear the goodness. This is why I'm really concerned because we're making the same mistakes today that we made with COVID. Okay. And what do I mean by that? We're not testing to really see how many people have been exposed and got asymptomatically infected. We should be testing every cow weekly. You can do pooled PCR. We have the technology. The great thing about America is we're incredibly innovative. We have the technology. Test every cow weekly. We have the ability to have these breakthroughs. We could be pooled testing every dairy worker. I do

47:56 believe that there's undetected cases in humans. Wait, she do's believe there are undetected cases in humans. We could be pool testing every dairy worker. I do believe that there's undetected cases in humans because we're once again only tracking people with symptoms. When we did that with COVID, the virus spread throughout the Northeast undetected because it took a long time to get to the vulnerable individuals. But in In the meantime, thousands, hundreds of thousands of people were infected with asymptomatic or mild disease and never came to medical attention. We have to switch from symptoms

48:36 to actually definitive laboratory testing. We have the capacity to do that today, like that. All right, well, that's cheerful. I don't know exactly what to say, but it does, there's so much that happened that we saw play out in 2020 that I think is gonna matter in terms of the future. And you're right, that we learned a lot as well in terms of PCR testing. Dr. Burks, I'm very grateful for your time today. Thank you for having me on. Thank you very much for being here. I'm telling you whether it works or not. You don't think so? They're doing it again, and it's perfect flu season is here flu will disappear bird flu H8 5 n 9 7 4 3 2 1 is all gonna be all these variants a Symptomatic spread it's coming. It's coming. They're gonna. They can't pull it off This is funny that you played these clips because they're annoying and

49:29 but they're so transparent and this Berks woman should be strung up. Now I want to mention something here. How many, let me get the right number back. She wants to test every cow weekly. Weekly. And pool test. The PCR test runs about 70 bucks a pop. Yeah, bing, ching, ching. There are 87 million head of cattle in this country. Yeah. 87. Do the math. Somebody do the math quickly. You can do it in the chat room. 87 million cattle once a week at $70 apiece. What is she trying to bankrupt the country? Well, we did it before. We just, we did it on human cattle.

50:14 Same thing, you stick that thing in your nose everywhere you went. Send free tests at home. I bet you still have 10 of them at home. More than that. I grabbed as many as I could. Of those bogus tests? No! They... I think they have a shot at doing this. They can certainly close cities. They can do it. They are insane. The people who believe... You are absolutely correct. I nailed it. I have a correct... They're insane. This is insanity. Three cases. Period over the last what? Remember that... Oh now asymptomatic, asymptomatic. He got ready to urge a man for flu. President Trump called for the vaccines when there were only five people dead, not even in China. Mm-hmm. Yeah, well I'm not happy about that. No, we should not be happy.

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

Avian Flu Vaccines, Cattle Herd Immunity and RFID Tags

The Department of Agriculture is set to begin administering bird flu vaccines to calves, utilizing mRNA technology developed by the University of Pennsylvania. A report from a veterinarian in Nebraska suggests that herd immunity has likely already been reached in hoofed animals and that the push for vaccination and RFID tagging is financially motivated.

university of pennsylvania· mrna· cattle· herd immunity· rfid tags

51:10 But I can see with the experts they're bringing in, the voting and policy change issue expert who happens to be a respiratory viral expert now, you know, and she's Asian, so perfect. Perfect. Tell Central Casting they've done a good job. And, you know, we'll start doing what we always do. Well, there's a new vaccine to address the bird flu outbreak among dairy cows. Starting next month, the Department of Agriculture will begin administering the shots to calves. The vaccine was developed by the University of Pennsylvania. It is similar to mRNA vaccines that were created for people in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The bird flu virus has been spreading among more animal species in a number of countries since 2020. It was first detected among dairy cows in the U.S. in March. At least three people who worked at farms with infected cows have also gotten bird flu.

52:10 Current virus threat level is concern. Let's just keep it there. In the show notes, there's a beautiful picture of the virus. So it's a composite picture. You now see a rooster with a... for some reason the rooster's head is blue and is gobble gobble. What's that sack called? His gobble sack? Is blue. And then there's all these little balls with spikes Spike proteins. Spike protein and the caption actually reads bird flu death. So they're ramping up that again. We have, I have boots on the ground from a Nebraska family of veteran, of veterinarians.

53:00 This should be good. As I previously stated, bird flu has long had a vaccine, but politics has prevented its use. Several other countries have used the vaccine for years. Transfer to humans is now supposed to be a huge concern. Funny, I don't remember a similar panic over swine flu, which is a very good point. What we had not the swine flu that we that was Promoted as something that would kill us all yeah But the swine flu that was where that they had to call pigs by the boatload especially in China They just threw them all into a burning pit It was pathetic what we have seen in cattle is a surprising number of open cows last breeding season

53:43 Hunters last year were shocked at the lack of fawns last season. While many were angry at Game and Parks for mismanagement of the deer population, veterinarians were putting these two things together. It is suspected the transfer to hoofed animals is already at least a year old. The telling points we are watching is how many calves go to market for feedlot this fall. Yeah, they're gonna put them in early. How many fawns we see this spring and fall. Dairy cows are easier to track due to confinement and the forthcoming RFID tags. How many aborted or had calves die at birth? Long story short, we believe the transfer to hoofed animals has already happened and herd immunity has probably already been met. Vaccinating cattle now is just a waste of time and money. Money. Money. Keyword money. Keyword. As an aside, little fun, little ditty.

AI Election Interference, Deepfakes in India and Voice Cloning

In India, AI-generated deepfakes are being used in political campaigns, including the digital resurrection of deceased politicians to endorse candidates. NBC News demonstrates the ease of voice cloning and video manipulation. The segment covers a test by Global Witness where YouTube reportedly accepted dozens of fake election ads, raising concerns for the upcoming U.S. elections.

artificial intelligence· india· deepfake· santil nagia· youtube

1:00:39 I mean, yeah, you know, it wouldn't take much. It wouldn't take much. But she's using phages. Armata with a T. Yeah, Armata. Armata. Yeah, Armata. Phony baloney. Well, speaking of elections, I mean, we all know the danger. There's just one horrible danger about this election cycle in the United States. Everybody knows it. It's AI. AI is a danger.

1:01:16 to democracy. NBC. In a consequential year for global elections, nothing matches the scale of India. Nearly a billion voters and over 700 political parties, while election related deep fakes generated by artificial intelligence spread like wildfire across Indian social media. Like this video of a politician who died in 2018 and was digitally resurrected to endorse his son. Hi, nice to meet you. He's the AI handiwork of Santil Nagia. His company is at the forefront of a thriving but loosely regulated industry here, using AI tools to create deep fakes, mostly for films. But at a studio in Chennai, he recorded my voice, took photos and videos, and in a matter of hours produced a deep fake of me. I'm Janice Mackey-Frayer, and I'm not running for office.

1:02:10 But I'm doing this political ad to make a point, to show how easy it is for... And with AI tools, I can say anything to anybody in any language. Literally you have been cloned. It's like we have a seed and we can plant it anywhere. That AI-driven content is appearing in elections around the world could be a sign of what's ahead for voters in the US. Whoa, what could happen? Here as a test for tech platforms, digital rights groups Access Now and Global Witness sent four dozen fake election ads to YouTube and say every video was accepted. In a statement, Google said none of these ads ever ran, adding their enforcement process has multiple layers to ensure ads comply with policies.

CHAPTER 18 / 47 Discussion

OpenAI Whistleblowers, Microsoft AI Costs and Marketing Stunts

Current and former employees of OpenAI and Google signed an open letter warning about the lack of oversight in the AI industry. Meanwhile, internal reports from Microsoft suggest that AI development costs are "cannibalizing" other business units, leading to the dismantling of the quantum computing group. The hosts argue that public "concern" over AI is often a marketing stunt to exaggerate the technology's power.

openai· microsoft· azure· chatgpt· quantum computing

1:03:02 If you don't try to combat the collection and misuse of data by tech platforms, it will feed this problematic, often toxic sort of AI growth ecosystem. There is also the risk of AI generated content becoming a normalized part of the election process as deep fakes are set to transform the landscape for real. Oh, it's going to transform the landscape. I mean, this is such bunk and they're all in on it. This morning, current and former employees at two major artificial intelligence companies are sounding the alarm about what they describe as a reckless and secretive industry. In an open letter, the group is calling for more transparency, saying AI companies possess substantial nonpublic information about the capabilities

1:03:46 and limitations of their systems. However, they currently have only weak obligations to share some of this information with governments and none with civil society. A letter calls for AI companies to stop blocking employees from openly criticizing them and create anonymous ways for employees to voice concerns to regulators. If we let this horse get out of the barn, it will be even more difficult to contain in social media. Last year, Senators Josh Hawley and Richard Blumenthal released a bipartisan framework for regulating AI. We have a responsibility here now to do our part to make sure that this new technology

1:04:27 which holds a lot of promise but also peril, actually works for the American people. But more than nine months after that framework was announced, not a single federal law governing artificial intelligence has been passed. In response to the new letter, OpenAI is saying, we agree that rigorous debate is crucial given the significance of this technology and we'll continue to engage with governments, civil society, and other communities around the world. So I don't think this open letter was signed by anybody. So I'm calling bull crap on this. Moreover, because we have a dude named Ben inside the Microsoft organization in the Azure division where they just fired a bunch of people. Yeah, they did. Now, most of those people were from the quantum computing group, which is interesting.

1:05:14 And apparently they're trying to contain costs. I'm going to read from our anonymous boots on the ground. Microsoft is still ramping up on AI. However, the cost for that is through the roof. Most of our business expenses are being cannibalized by AI because it costs so much. There was a demo that someone did in my org for using chat GPT to answer questions about code and generate documentation. There were about 20 people using it and it cost $2,000 a day just for those 20 people using it. This is why the quantum unit was dismantled.

1:05:58 I think there's two parts to what's happening here. One is the stock price has been going up quite a bit recently around $424. It was going up before too, but it got a little stuck in the past couple of years around 280 low 300s. Ever since the open AI deal, it's almost been nonstop upwards. I was speaking to one of my managers a couple of weeks ago and I asked him if he knew what the expense to profit ratio was for AI. He said that is a very closely guarded secret and if we knew the answer we would not be able to sell our stocks. Yeah, it's a negative number. It's a negative number, of course it is. Of course it is. I believe that that letter that was...

1:06:42 run around, they go, the concern and all the publicity over the concern over AI is all a marketing stunt. I'm with you. To draw attention to AI to make it seem as that could do more than it can do. And so you do that by creating this hairy, scary idea and having people, we can't complain to our supervisor, we can't complain to, you know, we can't go out and be whistleblowers because all hell's gonna break loose. Making it seem as though this is a lot more powerful a technology than it actually is. It's a screwed up technology that doesn't do anything right, it gets wrong answers. I mean if you did right now went and asked a couple of questions about yourself, it's gonna be wrong. It's no good.

Grief Tech, Digital Immortality and AI Voice Reconstruction

Entrepreneur Michael Bommer, facing terminal cancer, spent $15,000 to create an interactive AI version of himself to provide comfort to his wife after his passing. This "grief tech" allows the AI to tell stories and answer questions in his voice. The hosts discuss the ethical implications of digital immortality and its potential to hinder the grieving process.

1:07:27 And there is an application, there is an application that is in the marketplace. It's catching storm, everyone's talking about it. When Michael Bommer found out that he was terminally ill with colon cancer, he spent a lot of time speaking with his wife about what would happen after his death. She said, Michael, one of the things I'm really going to miss is talking to you. The sound of your voice. That sparked an idea for Bommer. With the help of a friend based in the US, it took the 61-year-old entrepreneur two months to build an interactive AI version of himself. We have you say 300 different phrases that capture, I'll call it your emotional voice. So sometimes you say, I love you or you say, I love you and they say, oh, the door is open and we capture all that and then we compress all that and make it AI.

1:08:18 Bommer's AI voice, which cost $15,000 to set up, can answer questions and tell stories without regurgitating pre-recorded answers. He's excited about his digital immortality. The rise of grief tech comes with many ethical questions. Should those grieving use AI to interact with lost loved ones without their consent? And despite providing comfort during a difficult time, could it prevent people from moving on? Grief tech perfect wasn't this a Star Trek episode from the original series? I don't know. I'm pretty sure this has been this storyline has been done over and over again in the science fiction community Which is you have you know, you've offloaded your consciousness in some way or other and then you got some AI

DOJ Biden Audio, Deepfake Risks and Hur Report Transcripts

The Department of Justice is refusing to release the audio recordings of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, arguing that the audio could be used by malicious actors to create deepfakes. Republicans contend the transcript may be doctored and that the audio is necessary for oversight. The hosts argue that the "deepfake risk" is being used as a pretext for government secrecy.

1:09:09 agent making it sound like you're talking to your spouse. I'm sorry, honey, I had to die. I got hairy legs. There you go. I got hairy legs. It's a scam. So here's what AI is really being used for. We know that there's a rather damning interview with President Biden that the Department of Justice has where he sounds like a poor, confused old man, which he is. And this is how they're using AI. Here's what the DOJ said in their court filing. To be sure, other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden's voice is already available. But release of the audio recording presents unique risks. If it were public knowledge that the audio recording has been released, it becomes easier for- You have to give people a background on this. I just did. No, you didn't mention that this is-

1:10:04 No, you didn't. The background is that there's a transcript of the with the Department of Justice where Biden was let off the hook for stealing documents. It was a huge story. We covered that extensively. I know, but you're not covering it on this particular moment. At this hour, John C. Dvorak is going to give us the backstory on this 30-second clip. I don't think it's something to ridicule me about. I'm just saying you jump right into this clip and it's just out of the blue and you don't mention that this is part of a And I don't think a lot of people know this, that there's an ongoing debate going on between the Republicans mostly and the Department of Justice to release the original tape that matches the transcript that they provided, which a lot of people don't believe that has not been doctored. The transcript itself looks like to be a phony and the Department of Justice refuses to release the tapes and now it's become a big deal. You're right. I'm sorry. You're right. You're absolutely right.

1:11:04 You're right. Yeah, no, if you listen to Fox all the time, you'll know this, but I don't think everybody does that. All right, here we go. Here's what the DOJ said in their court filing. To be sure, other raw material to create a deepfake of President Biden's voice is already available. But release of the audio recording presents unique risks. If it were public knowledge that the audio recording has been released, it becomes easier for malicious actors to pass off an altered file as the true recording. Professor, I've heard of some creative reasoning for keeping things from going public. That about takes the cake. So there's how it's really going to be used. Exactly what we've been saying. They're doing it the opposite way. That's it. That thing does exist. Yeah. Yep. That thing in my mouth. That's AI.

1:11:53 That's what it's going to be. By the way, they're going to use AI as like, why is it? Yeah, we've predicted this when I first started emerging that you're going to go just the opposite. Yeah. It's like when somebody does something real as a that's not me. It's fake. Yeah, that's exactly what they're going to do. It's what they're doing now. In fact, this whole thing about this transcript and the recording, it's laughable, but that's exactly what they're doing.

Antonio Guterres, Climate Finance and the Highway to Hell

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres delivered a speech warning that the world is on a "highway to climate hell" and playing "Russian roulette" with the planet. He called for a global tax on fossil fuel profits to fund climate initiatives. The discussion previews the upcoming COP 29 summit in Azerbaijan and the G20 meeting in Brazil.

1:12:30 Yeah, we're doomed. No, it wasn't for this particular show. I don't know what people would do. You can't get information that's any good anymore. It's been ruined. I don't think you and I are doomed in any fashion. No, we're not. Four more years. Collectively, as a nation-state world, as a globe, we're doomed. As a globe. At the global level. If you want to, if you really want to know how we're doomed, then we need to go no further than listen to our United Nations Secretary General. I mean, the guy is now, he's now citing lyrics. I mean, he is

1:13:14 He is a poetic, poetic man. The UN's Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, has called for a tax on the profits of fossil fuel companies to help pay for the fight against climate change. He said time may be running out to control rising global temperatures. This comes as a new report indicates last month was the hottest May on record and the 12th straight monthly record high. We are playing Russian roulette with our planets. And we need an exit ramp off the highway to climate hell. We've got a highway to climate hell!

1:13:52 And the truth is we have control of the wheel. The 1.5 degree limit is still just about possible. Limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is a goal established under the Paris Agreement. With it, countries committed to keeping long-term median global temperatures below pre-industrial levels. The UN weather agency believes this bout of heat is human-induced and could become more frequent. There's an 80% likelihood that the annual average global temperature will temporarily exceed 1.5 degrees above pre-industrial levels for at least one of the next five calendar years.

1:14:37 is calling on the group of 20 to reel in the fossil fuel industry and limit carbon output. The G20 is holding a summit in Brazil next month where they are set to discuss the environment and an energy transition. OK, so that's not really what this is about. COP 29 is coming up, I think, in November, and it's going to be in Azerbaijan, I believe. And now we have to get down to brass tacks. We've got to talk about climate finance. How are we going to pay and what benefit will this amount have to the world to keep us safe from just keeping on driving up the highway to climate hell?

1:15:23 Now, important talks ahead of November's UN Climate Summit are kicking off here in Germany. Negotiators are facing thorny financial questions. They include how to get more money to developing nations that are hardest hit. More money! Climate finance projects like these will take centre stage at the UN talks in Bonn, Germany. Here, thousands of delegates will lay the groundwork for the UN Climate Summit in Azerbaijan in November. This year, there's a big focus on all sorts of issues, especially around finance. Where's the money for climate change going to come from and how do we unlock more of it? High income polluter nations have already agreed to pay $100 billion per year to developing countries. Money to be used to adapt to a heating planet or money to reduce the carbon emissions causing climate change.

UN Climate Funding, Developing Nations and Five Trillion Dollars

Negotiators in Bonn, Germany, are laying the groundwork for a new climate finance goal. The World Resources Institute estimates that climate funding needs to reach $5 trillion per year by 2030 to assist developing nations. The hosts question the source of such funding and compare the figure to the GDP of major industrialized nations.

1:16:10 Industrialized countries wanted to achieve this target by 2020, but they only hit it in 2022. And the deadline to set a new finance goal is just around the corner. It needs to be decided by the end of the year. Pressure to up the target is growing significantly. The U.S.-based World Resources Institute estimates that climate finance needs to rise to a whopping $5 trillion per year by 2030. Five trillion. These people like go big or go home. Let's just ask for 5 trillion, who cares? These people, they'll pay it. You know, it's about death. 5 trillion dollars per year. What is the GDP of America? 9?

1:16:56 The GDP of the United States? Yeah, what's our GDP? We should look it up instead of just guess. All right, well you look it up and then we'll listen to the last 15 seconds of this guy explaining why we need to spend five trillion. What we're investing now, even when it gets into the scale of trillions of dollars, will save multiple trillions of dollars in avoided damages and in savings on fuel costs. and in more efficient economies. Most of this yeah, most of that's a debt, but okay Where do you think the five trillions coming from it's not gonna come from taxes for the bankers they can clean up on this thing Yeah, but they are I think they are you played the clip for the guitarist character He's talking about the highway to close the fuel companies advertising advertising.

Fossil Fuel Ad Ban, Antonio Guterres and Media Funding

Antonio Guterres has called for a worldwide ban on advertising by fossil fuel companies, urging news media and tech platforms to stop accepting their money. He accuses these companies of using ads to spread misinformation about climate change. The hosts note the irony of NPR reporting on this while being funded by oil and gas companies, and they question which specific ads are considered "misinformation."

fossil fuels· advertising ban· antonio guterres· npr· chevron

1:18:18 No, you didn't get that part of his little speech about bitching about fossil fuel companies. Yeah. We'll play this claim at UN, he wants no advertising. Oh, I thought he wanted windfall profits is what the report said. Let's see. The UN Secretary General is calling for a global ban on advertising by fossil fuel companies. As NPR's Rebecca Hersher reports, It is the UN's latest effort to crack down on global warming. In a speech in New York, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said fossil fuel companies are using advertisements to spread inaccurate information about climate change and delay policies that would reduce planet warming pollution.

1:18:57 He called for a worldwide ban on such ads. I urge every country to ban advertising from fossil fuel companies. And I urge news media and tech companies to stop taking fossil fuel advertising. Burning oil, gas and coal is the main cause of global warming. There are currently no limits on fossil fuel ads in the U.S. Oil and gas companies are among NPR's funders. Okay, I want to ask you the question. Yes. What advertisement are they talking about? Can you remember an ad where Chevron or Shell or BP advertised the bull crap about climate change?

1:19:43 That they need to be banned? Every time I see that, they're talking about their fuel having a good detergent in it. Green stuff. It's always green. Oh, BP green. Yeah, but where's the bullshit? He makes the claim that they're lying about climate change and these ads need to be banned. What ad are we talking about? I don't know, but it's not working because the oil prices are not going up the way you'd expect them to. Maybe this is what it's all about. They're all invested in oil stocks. And like, well, maybe if we say this, maybe it'll go up. No, it's not going up. It's going down.

Mary Barra, GM Electric Vehicle Strategy and the Toyota Prius

GM CEO Mary Barra reaffirmed the company's commitment to an all-electric future despite a slowdown in EV sales. The hosts discuss the high cost of EVs compared to hybrids like the new Toyota Prius, which starts at $27,950. They also share an anecdote about the Ford Lightning's undercarriage sensors shutting the truck down when driving through tall grass.

mary barra· general motors· electric vehicles· toyota prius· ford lightning

1:20:19 It's really going down again. The price of gasoline in California is $5.50. I mean the price of oil, the price of oil is... The price of oil is still stuck around 73 bucks. But it's not going, it's not skyrocketing. We've got wars. I know, I should, you'd think it'd be skyrocketing. We've got wars, we got all kinds of groovy stuff. No, no, it's not skyrocketing. No, what's wrong? What is wrong? And, and, well, let's talk to the CEO of General Motors, which, uh, what's that woman's name again? Barra? Yeah, is that her name? Is she doing a good job with this company? I'm not a fan. Oh, let's listen. Despite a slowdown in EV sales across all brands, CEO Mary Barra says GM is all in on all electric. Sales growth has slowed. Prices are also dropping. The average now $55,000 and more popular in blue states than red. Is that a political divide, a cultural divide that will hurt sales, especially of the Silverado EV?

1:21:19 Well, when we look at it, right next to the Silverado EV in that showroom at that dealer is going to be a Silverado that's gas-powered. So the consumer's going to get to choose what they want. Do you still envision to stop selling gas-powered vehicles by the mid-2030s as you'd suggested at one point? Well, again, we'll be guided by the customer. But in the end, I think, and we're seeing this around the globe, it will be led by what customers want. And former President Trump's criticism of EVs is raising concerns among proponents he could dismantle the tax incentives if elected. Will you be just as committed to EVs if there's a Trump administration?

1:21:54 We will be just committed because we think in the long term they're better. Boris says GM customers will soon have access to Tesla and other charging stations, which should address concerns about charger availability. This is a cliff we're driving off of. Got a note from Sir Tom of the 1015 home team. Says, I thought you'd be interested in this information about electric trucks that were purchased for use by our Department of Power and Water. I don't know where it is. Specifically the Ford Lightning. A friend was checking out groundwater wells and that means he has to drive through fields with high grass and bushes. These trucks apparently have an undercarriage sensor if grass and bushes scrape, the truck thinks that you're having an accident and it shuts off. And the truck will then not start. You have to have a tow truck pick up out of the field and replace the $3,000 sensor.

1:22:49 This is genius because you know I'm sure the battery right because oh you're scratching the battery that we could explode It's a disaster and it's in the fact that she talks about $55,000 electric cars of course he's even more expensive than that if you go with some of the Tesla's yeah Is that you have to compete against some of the cheap Toyota hybrids the new Prius? Which is a pretty good-looking car even though that you'd think it wouldn't be but I saw a couple on the road so far It's like wow that's a Not a bad looking car. They're $27,000. Let me see. So it's like an affordable electric hybrid. It's got a motor in it too. 27, okay. Base price $27,950. Let's take a look at it and see if I'd want to drive one. Let me see. Oh, oh, you're right. It doesn't look very lame.

1:23:39 No, it doesn't look lame at all. It actually looks a bit like a Tesla. Well, it has a nice... I think it looks better. I think it's got nice lines. Tesla's kind of dated. It's got very nice lines. Let me see the interior. Yeah. Well, I mean, look for city use if you can afford it. For roaming around town. There's going to be some consumers who don't mind being controlled by their government. Whether they can have electricity or not, you know that I'm sure this this will be dynamite for them. Well, didn't know that You don't have to be charging it hybrid. All right. So what is the the limited all-wheel drive cost? No, it goes up exponentially there, but man, that's cool. That's not bad at all. Oh

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model and the benefits of "live to tape" production over highly edited content. They celebrate the success of the cookbook "Too Many Eggs" and the children's book "The Runaway Washer," both of which won awards at the San Francisco Book Festival. The segment emphasizes the importance of independent production without corporate sponsors.

1:24:31 Another no agenda tip. Hey, you should have saved that for the end of the show. No agenda tip. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put the C in climate finance. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora. Yeah, in the morning you Mr. Adam Curry, also in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and the knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. How the trolls look down on me. I think I got most of them. Some of them hid under that bush over there. But from what I can see, we have 1766 of trollage, which is up to two from last Thursday. It's not too bad. 1766. I mean, it's like, do these people not have a job? Are they just listening? Are they just screwing around with their boss, listening to the show while they're on the job? Do they have a little widget that makes their mouse move so that their boss thinks they're working? Who knows? It's a lot of them.

1:25:38 And they're listening live at trollroom.io or perhaps on a modern podcast app where you can get alerted when we go live, which is good because people do forget. You know, people often forget that there's a show. Did you know that? They misremember. I don't believe anybody ever thinks about it. This is the reason you do that. They're not thinking that, oh, no agenda, no agenda. They got a life to lead. No agenda's a side note, you know? It's a show, what? But then when they alerted it on their smartphone, like, oh, they're going live and you can click on it and listen right away. You don't have to do anything special. I mean, that's, I think that's pretty good. Fabulous feature. Podcastapps.com.

1:26:28 We, uh, by the way, trollroom.io is also great if you just hit the desktop. You can put in a tab, hide it, hide the tab, you know, and then bring up the spreadsheet. No problem. It's perfect. We are in our 17th season of Value for Value, which means we have never played a commercial, we've never taken corporate money. We've only asked people to support us with time, talent and treasure. And people do that. And it's a one, it's, I'd say it's an experiment that has been working well so far. We've had our ups and downs, there's roller coasters along the way. And that depends on all kinds of things. You know, vacation time, tax time, Christmas time, economy time, we roll with the punches.

1:27:19 And we're still here and people want us to go at least another four more years. I'm not sure. Four more years! I'm not so sure. We're gonna try. We'll try. One of the ways that people show value and send value back to us for the value that we give you absolutely in no upfront charge. You can go to noagendashow.net and you can listen to all the shows. You can use the bingit.io and search all the show notes, all the clips, all the transcripts. You can make clips there. I mean, all of these things are wonderful pieces of value that have been sent back to us over the years. People have built these up. No Agenda Art Generator is another fantastic example. And the artists who, many of them are Dutch masters.

1:28:04 We really love that we have such a cornucopia of selection available to us right after each show. And we do a pretty quick turnaround as well, since we're not trying to be NPR, Radio Labs and edit all the life out of it. No, we're just who we are. We just who we are and we just put the show out. We're live to tape. We're professionals that way. Combined we have probably about a hundred years of experience if not more I've talked to people about the idea of live to tape which you're a Nutcase about I believe it to be the way to go to yes I'm not and even at me via you were promoting the life to tape notion as opposed to people overproduce shows Yeah, and they come out dry and it's very strange phenomenon. I

1:28:55 live to tape because it's everybody does anyone who's really good does it yeah well then if you watch like the late-night comedy shows those are all live to tape there yes yes Now, they're overproduced in the way that the questions and the answers are rehearsed. Yeah, they have pre-meetings. Oh, another thing we despise. I'm going to do a pre-interview just to make sure. The pre-interviews are no good. No, it takes the life out of all of the... It sucks the soul out of the content. And the reason why this happened in podcasting is because we didn't really have the gear. I tried to build it, failed. That was over 10 years ago or about 10 years ago. No, it was actually, wow, it was probably 13 years ago. I think. I have to ask Gene.

1:29:46 And because there was no gear to do it live to tape, you know, to have a good processing and, you know, you had to use like mixers that were built for, you know, guitar players and musicians at home. It was not at all, it was not at all functional. And so we enter the podcast editor and then, you know, and obviously when you have a podcast editor, then you have to have a podcast producer, an executive producer, blah, blah, blah, blah. An engineer. An engineer. Oh yeah, engineer. So that's probably the only reason why we've been able to do this, because we do everything ourself. We do have some help from family members, mainly your daughter, Jay, who does a spreadsheet, which is a lot of work, and Mimi, who does... By the way, did I see that too many eggs.com won an award? Actually, too many eggs.com and Jay's children's book, which had a lot of competition, both won the San Francisco Book Festival awards for best... Wow.

1:30:43 But the thing, I mean, the cookbook won. For Best Cookbook. Sorry? For Best Cookbook, right? Yeah, Best Cookbook, too many eggs dot com. And you can get a free copy, PDF anyway. Which should have won a couple of awards by now. So it won that and then Jay's book, The Runaway Washer, which is a, children's book along the lines of the ABC of New Agenda ABC book won for best children's book and there was a there must have been a hundred competitors and I was oh she really is happy about that. I'm proud of her. That's amazing. So now can we enter the New Agenda ABC book in next year's competition? I think it was entered. I'm sure the judges went

Flag Controversy, Wethersfield Blue Line Ban and Pride Flags

In Wethersfield, Connecticut, the Town Council voted against flying the "Blue Line" flag to honor State Trooper Aaron Pelletier, who was killed in the line of duty. Officials claimed the flag represents "racism and antagonism." Instead, the town flew the Pride flag at half-staff to honor the fallen officer, a move the hosts describe as shameful and nonsensical.

1:31:37 What? What is this? Douchebag. Douchebag? Huh? What's douchebag? V for vaccine. What? No, no, no. This book is no good. Anyway, I'm not sure how I got there, but wanted to thank the artists. And specifically wanted to thank the artists for the artwork from episode 1665. We titled that one Flag Gate. And right on cue, Sir Net Ned came in strong with just an image that everybody understood. It was the Palestinian flag being replaced with the LGBTQ plus I flag.

1:32:19 on the side of a building. Well done. Good execution. Everybody understands it. You don't need any words, even though, you know, Flaggate refers to different flags. It was actually I think I had a flag clip. Did I have a flag clip here? That's something. What was it? What was it about? But what? Well, since we're talking about flags, I wanted to spice up the I wanted to spice up the donation segment with a flag. There was something about flags. Oh yes! Yes! Oh, you know what? How about some extra, since we're talking about flags here, how about two quick extra clips about flags?

1:33:05 I mean this is for people... Well, Flag Day is coming. I think it's next week. So there was... So maybe it's this week. No, I think it's next week. So there was in Connecticut, Wethersfield, Connecticut, a trooper sadly died in the line of duty. And they wanted to fly the blue line flag at half-mast. You know, the blue line flag is an American flag and has... It's an American flag with a blue line in it. A blue line in the middle, yes. And so here is part of the meeting. It was a pride ceremony today at Wethersfield Town Hall. Governor Lamont in attendance. The flagpole at the center of the controversy. At last night's council meeting, Councilor Rich Bailey requested the town fly the American blue line flag in honor of TFC Aaron Pelletier, who was killed in the line of duty. Town Council voted it down.

1:33:51 What does the blue line flag mean to you? Represent racism and antagonism to many, many people. And even if you don't personally believe that and you fly it at your own house and you think it means something to you that's much more positive, it's just not how many people feel about it. It's not appropriate to raise over our town hall, especially when our flag policy prohibits us from doing anything associated with hate. So in Connecticut, the blue line flag is associated with racism and hate. And instead, how does that happen? Well, maybe because this is the attitude. Here's part of the meeting. Respect for our law enforcement community. And I realize the dangerous job that they do every day out of respect for the tragic death of state trooper first class Aaron Pelletier. We won't be raising the pride flag today. It's already up on the pole at half staff.

1:34:44 In honor of his passing. Was he gay? No! So they raised the pride flag at half-staff. You are nuts. You people are crazy. That's really outrageous. They won't fly the blue line flag for trooper who died in the line of duty. Oh, here's a gay flag for you. Woo! I'm literally speechless. Connecticut is broken beyond repair, or at least this town in Connecticut. How crazy is that? That's unbelievable. It's shameful. It's shameful. I don't like to use the word. Yeah, well you have to because it is. And they're proud of themselves.

A viral TikTok video features a flamboyant interviewer questioning a "Queers for Palestine" supporter. The supporter, who claimed to have studied in the region, was unaware that homosexuality is criminalized in Palestine while protected in Israel. The segment highlights the lack of basic geographical and political knowledge among some activists.

1:35:32 Is it a gay town? If it's all, is it all gay? Is that the idea? I don't know. I don't know why, but the blue line flag is hateful and they have policy no hate on the poll. Well since you're playing this sort of stupid clip. Well, stupid. I have a stupid clip to back you up. Informative, was informative. All right, what you got? This is a TikTok clip. And this is some gay guy who is interviewing the pro-Palestinian people and he is gay but he's like flamboyant gay. He's wearing a big blonde wig and he's in a kind of a dress. I don't even know what he's wearing. So he's a drag queen?

1:36:16 I don't know if he's a drag queen or just a flamboyant gay. A flamer as they used to call him. Oh yeah, don't call them flamers no more. No, I can't use that. But anyway, here he is interviewing an idiot. Talk. Talk. Tick Tock. And so I did a study abroad in the Middle East with Israel and Palestine. Would you say you're pro-Palestine or pro-Israel? Pro-Palestine. As a gay man, I would be punished and or put in prison or killed if I were openly gay in Palestine. How do you react to that? I didn't know that. Really? So... It is illegal to be gay in Palestine. You are punished by prison or death. Is Israel? No, Israel has gay pride. Israel is completely open to lesbian and gay people. Palestine puts them in prison or kills them. You weren't aware of that? I was not aware of that, no. So that does pose an interesting

1:37:15 Have you seen the Queers for Palestine movement? It's a very common movement, but I don't see any Muslims for Queer movements. Uh, yes. That's where it gets gray, right? Like, that's where I feel like... Well, for me it's not gray. I am fearful of Islam because there is no Islamic country on earth that embraces me as a gay man. So, okay, okay, so maybe I'm confused because Israel, which is still an Islam country, right? No, no, no, Jewish. Okay, okay, okay, okay. So Israel's Jewish, Palestinians are Islamic. Go Flamer! You go, boy!

1:37:55 Flame on excellent what's funny about that clip overall is the fact that she prefaced the entire clip by saying she spent a year in Palestine in a year in Israel and she doesn't know that Israel's Jewish what he's full of shit. That's what John you're cussing I had to throw that in once. Well, if Marjorie Taylor Greene can cuss. And she's a congresswoman. She's a congresswoman. Thank you very much to Sir Net Ned, another Dutch master of art for his change of the season as he titled it. There were some other fine pieces that we looked at. I mean, we evaluate everything. There were some

No Agenda Art, Scaramanga’s Cheesecake Patreon and Newsletter

The hosts review recent submissions for the show's album art, including "Flag Gate" by Sir Net Ned. They discuss a regular contributor, Scaramanga, who has moved toward creating "cheesecake art" on Patreon. They also mention the No Agenda newsletter and various community-driven projects like the No Agenda Art Generator.

1:38:42 Some odd got milk Clips I didn't really work for us American flag upside down which we went like yeah, I didn't really like that Distraction Land, Home of Flaggate. I think I might have said that was worth looking at from Sir Shug. No, the one you like was Death Eggs. Yes, I did like the Death Eggs. Two fried eggs. But it violated your gruesomeness rule. Yes, it's gruesome and it's nothing you want to associate with the show. Yeah, yeah. The associative issues I have. And I folded.

1:39:20 There were a couple of ankle monitor, which would be funnier if there was an ankle monitor actually in play. There is the Scaramanga, who by the way now has a Scaramanga is he's he's gone off the rails. Scaramanga gone off the rails gone. He's gone off the rails, but he's been off the rails for a year. All he does now is is make cheesecake art and he has a Patreon. A Patreon for his cheesecake art. And they have meetings in the morning like, oh, do you have new, I need new cheesecake. This little... He really took it to heart. I wonder if his wife is aware of this. You gotta wonder. Well, at least he's making money on it. Because that was her... Making money. Oh yeah, you have to pay for the Patreon. Yeah. It's a $1 level. You can get in at $1 a month, I think.

1:40:19 Then you get the daily cheesecake the daily cheesecake from Scaramanga, so he's just throwing remnants out of us now You know here's some cheesecake stupid guys don't get any money for that So I use Parker Pauly's convicted felon 2024 Signed for the newsletter Yes, you did. You did. I thought that was a nice piece. I don't think that was there. Was it there when we were working on it? No, I think it cropped up laughter. The fact is... I think so too. Sometimes it comes in late and we don't see him. That came in late. It would have been a contender, but it probably still would have lost to the... to the one that won. Anyway, thank you, Sir NetNet. Thank you to all the artists. We appreciate what you do. Even if you're not chosen, it's valuable. And I often choose something that may not be chosen for the album art itself, for the pre-show art. And there's all kinds of good stuff. It's value for value, people.

Producer Donations, Retirement News and American History Knowledge

A donation from Jackie Connelly, a retiring teacher from Green Bay, sparks a discussion on the state of the public school system and the benefits of homeschooling. The hosts also read a note from an anonymous producer comparing historical knowledge in 1943 to 1976, lamenting the modern lack of awareness regarding figures like Woodrow Wilson and Patrick Henry.

green bay· wisconsin· homeschooling· woodrow wilson· patrick henry

1:41:16 We also like to thank in this particular portion of the show where we play cheesy clips, we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers. We love all of the producers. In fact, I'm going to prove this right now. You added a note to the donations. Our back office alerted me. Added requested by John. I'm going to read this. This is not an executive or associate executive producer, but we appreciate All producers, no matter what value you send back, as long as it's valuable to you, that's what matters to us. And this is from Jackie Connelly from Green Bay, Wisconsin. ITM, just sending a note to let you know that I've set up the No Agenda show on autopay to celebrate my retirement this week. I'm a widowed mom of 10 wonderful adult children, all formerly homeschooled. This is a woman right here.

1:42:09 This is Proverbs 31. She's got to be tired. I'm grateful for the fact that for the most part I could continue teaching my kids at home after my husband's passing, but eventually found myself in a situation where I needed to go back to school and get a job. Since then I've been teaching my own kids. I got a job as a public school teacher. I'm sure you know that it is a cesspool out there, and they are indeed going after the children. If things were bad when I started teaching professionally eight years ago, they are exceptionally worse now in such a short time. At any rate, I cannot think of a better way to celebrate my retirement than to give a little value back to you and Adam for the value you have shared with me since I discovered you a few months ago. Please continue to encourage others into sanity.

1:42:51 It is imperative that parents know that their children are not safe in today's public school system. You can expect a recurring $20 a month donation starting this month. No need to read this letter on the air, just want to thank you and share with you my happy news. Well, congratulations on your retirement, Jackie, and thank you. highly appreciated. That's what's appreciated is her point that she's in the system and she's come out and said this is a dangerous situation keep your kids out of these schools or at least know what the hell's going on. Yeah. That's why by the way this would all be corrected. I wrote about this over a couple years ago.

1:43:28 Put cameras in schools so parents can see what the hell's going on. I'm kind of with you. Well, this is what happened during COVID. When the kids were forced into screens, parents started saying, what's that? What kind of lessons are you giving? And now the cameras are gone. Put the cameras back. We kick off with our executive producers $300 and above. We read your note, associate executive producer $200 to $300 and we read your note. We start with the monthly, usually it's about monthly, donation from the infamous, seronimous of Dogpatch and Lower Slobovia. It's always a riddle why he sends these amounts. It always includes $2 bills. Today he sends $22.38.

1:44:12 Now, did he have four two dollar bills in there? Yes, he did. Always sends cash, always sends a printed note from a printer. And two dollar bills. I don't remember him not sending a two dollar bill, at least one. He says. And I thought when I was counting this out, I said, ooh. This is going to be 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2. It's going to be a row of ducks, a big one. And no. No? It was 38 and then what is this? We love Seronimous for obvious reasons. He's a big supporter of the show, always sends us value, varying numbers. It doesn't matter. It matters to him. It could be code. We could have triggered some kind of attack somewhere. I don't care.

1:44:51 A bridge just collapsed. For bridge collapses, you know us up. Thank you to all old and new producers for making this such a valuable resource and especially for the outstanding bingit.io website as a source for all things NOAgenda. Thank you, sir. Deanonymous. I appreciate all the hard work and efforts to deconstruct the message from the M5M politicians and other leaders. An observation about our education system. He's on the same tip as our producer, our mom. From May 2nd, 1976, New York Times article, and I will quote,

1:45:27 College freshmen know as much American history overall as did their counterparts 33 years ago, although the content of what they know has shifted somewhat. Remember this is from 1976. The ability to identify Lincoln as a Civil War president has increased, with 82% of the current freshmen correct on the item compared with 75% in 1943. On the other hand, 70% of students in 1943 knew Wilson was president during World War I compared with 49% now. Mr. Animas continues, I suspect current high school knowledge of past and modern day wartime presidents could be equally interesting. Well, but they know a lot about them. They were all racists and slaveholders. So the kids know a lot. I doubt that one kid in 100 today knows that Woodrow Wilson was the president, the World War One president. I'm with you. Probably not.

1:46:31 In fact, when they do the man on the street stuff, they can't even... when they ask who founded the country, half the people say Franklin Roosevelt. If you even ask who said, give me liberty or give me death? What about it? Who said that? John Patrick. Patrick Henry. Patrick Henry, correct. Correct. I think most people wouldn't even know that. If you don't know that, I don't think it's as important as not knowing who the presidents were or what we were doing. He was a founding father. I mean, he's no slouch. No, he wasn't, but there's a lot of people on that list who weren't slouches. You've never heard of him. Patrick Henning also wrote, the battle, sir, is not to the strong alone. It is to the vigilant, the active and the brave. Where have they gone? Thank you, Sironymous. We appreciate your notes and your support as always. You're a racist, Patrick Henry. Racist. Yeah, I'm sure he was a racist. And we must judge everything by today's standards.

Knighthood Ceremony, Satanic Donations and Inflation Adjustments

Several producers are recognized for reaching the threshold for knighthood, including Jimmy Fulton (Sir Bag of Balls) and Peter Verhoef (Sir PJ of Durden). The segment notes the use of "666" themed donations to match the episode number and includes updates from producers in Mexico City and South Australia.

knighthood· 666· inflation· mexico city· south australia

1:47:34 Jimmy Fulton. I don't know if he does that. He's in Stokesdale, North Carolina. He came in with 66669. Ooh, I think a lot of sixes there. ITM gents, becoming an executive producer has been such a great and satisfying feeling. I'm doing it again! Yay! There you go. This donation brings me to knighthood. I can't wait to see how this makes me feel. No jingles, no karma, just keep up the great work. I'd like to be knighted as Sir Bag of Balls. Jimmy Fulton. He is, I think, one of the few who came... Well, no, that's not true. So that was a satanic 666 donation.

1:48:14 Peter Verhoef from Katwijk, the Netherlands, comes in with 666 straight up. And he says... And he took advantage of the opportunity of Satan. Says, hey John, hey Adam, here's a donation to finalize my quest for knighthood, slightly over target, but I wanted to compensate for inflation. Thank you. Most people don't. Covering my first four years of listening, couldn't muster the inch tonight at the time. Besides, this makes a nice match to the show number, which reminds everyone either of a vintage Iron Maiden t-shirt or the symbolic reference that striving for perfection in humanity is the spirit of the anti- which means instead of Christ.

1:48:53 What could be more appropriate in these days of climate religion, DEI utopians and AI singularity evangelicals? Amen. Please knight me Sir PJ of Durden and I would love some sweet salmiak powder and sambuca at the table and some Jobs Karma would be fantastic as dessert. Well, since you asked that I have added those things to the roundtable and here's your dessert. Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. Thank you. 524 bucks from May 2024. This is the book that didn't win the award, but Gateview Publishing has the book on this website. You can get it. Yes. Noagendaabc.com. And you can get the hardcover book and the coloring book, which is nice. Yeah, it's a combo.

1:50:06 Then we have $480 from Anonymous, and I have a note here. Thank you John and Adam for providing so much fun and information. I discovered your show on Reddit last June. Well that shows those a-holes, the Reddit people. The Reddit haters. Thanks Anonymous. Heaven forbid the word get out to the... Reddit guys, yeah, you'd be ruined Brandon mango in Midland, Pennsylvania 350 93 and he just says simply put I love the show. Well, we love that. Yeah, we love you. Thank you Sir Chad GPT

1:50:47 He says, I request a nice, clean, big helping of jobs, Karma. Please! Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! Yeah! Karma. And that's $350.93. And another $350.93 which is Obviously an upgrade of some amount. $3.33 I'm guessing. Ah, okay with the fees paid. Thank you. I appreciate that. A lot of fees there. That's why checks are better. The fee is 15 cents max. Sir Black Knight, Sir AJ Anonymous in South Australia, Moss and Lakes to be exact $3.50.93.

1:51:36 Sir Black Knight, A.J. Anonymous, Knight of O'Here, no jingles, no karma should bring me to Baronet, but I will wait until Baron. Ooh, nice. Noah Vattenmacher, Wattenmaker, Wattamacher, Three Rivers, California, 350.93, probably a 333.33. Noah Vattenmacher, Sir Coya, Baron of the Sierra Betheleth. And that's all he says. Well, that's good. That's good enough for me. Thank you. Now we have the anonymous composer. Who composed quite the note. Yes, it's a long note but I'll read it. It's worth it. It's worth it. He needs a de-douching. You've been de-douched. It's though I'd normally cut down but it's actually interesting.

Anonymous Composer, Spooky Universities and St. George Louisiana

An anonymous composer on faculty at a "spooky university" (speculated to be Yale or Johns Hopkins) sends a donation, reassuring listeners that level-headed people still exist in academia. Additionally, a producer from St. George, Louisiana, celebrates the city's recent incorporation after a long legal battle with Baton Rouge.

composer· johns hopkins· yale· st. george· louisiana

1:52:28 So as an interesting note, it must be read, I'm an award-winning composer of electro-acoustic music as well as more traditional symphonic and chamber music. Hence he needs to be anonymous by being associated with the No Agenda show. Yeah, because that would get you kicked out of the chamber music community. Well, we had the anonymous lesbian is in that same category. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Whoever happened to her. Every time I say something like this, he's trying to say, no, I'm still here. I'm still anonymous and still a lesbian. And I'm stuck in New York. He says, looking forward to a new album release shortly. I'm currently on faculty at a highly spooky university. Now that brings that

1:53:14 Just that sentence alone made me wonder what the highly spooky is Johns Hopkins. You went looking, didn't you? No, I didn't. I didn't. I could have, but I didn't. I could have actually seen going into the file. I'm just guessing that what are spooky universities to you? You have a couple that you always like to cite. I have Johns Hopkins, University of California. Berkeley. Yeah. What's the I think Brown has spookiness to it. Brown could be. Sidwell Friends is high school. Yale for sure. Yale, spooky. Yeah, yeah, Yale. They're into chamber music too. George Washington. Washington, a couple in DC, some of those other ones in Virginia, University of Virginia might be spooky. Georgetown for sure. Georgetown, absolutely. Yeah, yeah. Okay, well I'll continue. I'm currently on faculty that's slightly spooky. I want a copy of the album when it comes out. I do too. Yeah.

1:54:13 Just send it and scratch out your name. I would like to reassure fellow producers that level-headed people, those who aren't hell-bent on promoting the trans-Maoist agenda and just want to teach aspiring students on honing their craft, do exist, even in performing arts departments. Yes, we have a number of performing artists who are, pay careful attention to the show and like it. It can be tough at times, but I'm nonetheless, nevertheless happy with where I am. I've never felt pressured by the administration to teach through an ideological filter that I don't agree with. Well, you're in the music department. Yeah, I'm in the music department. I don't care. I'm happy to finally be giving back to the very show that has kept the growth of my amygdala in check all these years.

1:55:04 You two provide an important public service and I echo the hopes of others that an exit strategy will take a long time. Look forward to continuing the support of the show and I finally attending meetups during my frequent travels. Oh, that's nice for jingles I like a shot of relationship karma as well as the glorious gitmo nation anthem if possible We play at the beginning of your way. It's a little sincerely anonymous composer long, but instead How about a goat karma? That's always welcome. You've got a Yakama

1:55:42 Did the yak eat the goat? Hmm. All right. Thank you, Anonymous Composer. Lovely. I'll take these next two, Johnson. That was a long one. Don't want you to get tired. Roy Nyberry in Oakland, California 333.33 says very short and sweet. Please deduce no note. No jingle You've been de-douched. That was easy. Then we have Dragon Slayer aka Shauvin Alamon 333.33 from St. George. Where's St. George? Parts unknown. Thank you for reading my longer than anticipated note on show 1665 for Dame Tracy of the Roman Rite. I tried to be brief and obviously failed, so I'm gonna do it again. Dragonslayer in St. George has been my alias so my wife wouldn't figure out that I have been a no agenda producer and spoil the surprise of her daming.

1:56:30 St. George is the fifth largest and newest city in Louisiana achieving, oh there you go, Louisiana, achieving incorporation after years of legal battles. Haters gonna hate, kiss my ass Baton Rouge. Hmm, fighting words. Must be nearby. With this V for V exchange I request knighting as Sir Canebrake. Please dedouche. You've been dedouched. And I look forward to mutton and meat at the round table or maybe liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti. That's what I ordered in addition to the mutton and meat. Thank you very much. Soon to be a night. Thank you. I like the fact that Baton Rouge, I guess this must have been a suburb or some little unincorporated area that the Baton Rouge was taking advantage of. I guess so. And they finally incorporated it. And so now they're their own.

Listener Make-Goods, AI Demons and New York Misery

Producers send "make-good" donations for lapsed support, including one using the "Biden hole" jingle. A discussion ensues regarding listener feedback on AI-generated voices, with one listener suggesting that AI hallucinations are "demons coming through the portal." The hosts also note a trend of donations coming from "miserable" areas in New York and New Jersey.

1:57:18 municipality. Yes. So plane crashes up he came in with 333 33 he wants a jingles the following Biden hole load clippity-clop little girl scary boat guiding. Based on your notification of the lack of donations I'm sending you 333.33 this mostly is a lot easier carry over from the last show we had. Yeah, in fact I would say all of them are. I've been listening for at least 12 years but have lapsed in my 33.33 donation. Never again hears a make good in the above amount.

1:57:54 Aside from your continued witty commentary, you make me question the jab and ultimately not get it. Uh-huh. We never advised anybody on anything medical. No. Money well spent, Sir Plane Crash. No, we have not advised anybody on anything. We just... All we do is play clips. That's pretty much it. I'm gonna give you the whole load today. It's Clippity Clop. The message is clear. Joe's Clippity Clop. Don't eat me, Bojied, and you're scary, so scary! Good to hear the Clippity Club jingle again, thank you. Been quite a while.

Which unfortunately happens, seems to be happening in the Western Hemisphere in general. Finally caught up to us. Brendan Wood in Koloee, North Carolina, 222 row of ducks. ITM Jens222.22. ITM Jens, I recently made my first donation. I felt so great. Giving is loving. Donation equals love. Can I get a JCD mic bump?

2:00:20 And a little girl, yay. I can do the mic. Now I know how to do the mic bump, because if I actually bump the mic, which is this, it doesn't really have the impact of the real mic bump, which is not bumping the mic at all, but I'm going to do it. Let me get the right, the little mic hammer out. Hang on. Ready? Yep. Good one. Cute. That was a good bump. It's a good bump. Okay, that was Brendan- Sherry Zucker, Scarsdale, New York. New York coming in, this upstate. 21060. I love you guys. Don't give up on us yet. Don't give up on us, baby. I'm getting really ha- It's getting really hard to keep it going. Okay. Too much information, maybe.

2:01:07 For me it's... What? I don't know what that means. It's getting really hard to keep it going. For me it's more a mental game. I mean just to keep going, life I guess. Please try to prevent us from losing our way. Living in New York maybe. Yeah well it's upstate, Scarsdale. You know the Dutch Queen and King are in upstate. They're in Albany. And somebody emailed me and said, is there anything I should know? And I said yes, they're lizards, stay away. And he's like, oh thanks. So I don't know if they're coming to Scarsdale, but they're in Albany. This is my third donation, but I have never shared my thoughts. We need you more now. Well, we're here. Sherry, thanks to your support, we are here. Well, okay. John DeSante in Belleford and New Jersey, another East Coaster here. 2106, exact same amount.

2:02:01 Well, I can't punch you in the mouth due to my finances. I can lightly slap you guys for now. I need a de-douching. You've been de-douched. Keep it up and let's go, Christians! Well, let's go with the donations, Christians. I can't... I... you know, we've never really analyzed this, but I have a feeling So like on the last show we had a lot of people in Texas. Now we have a lot of East Coasters. You can probably almost see where the misery is striking when people donate from certain states. You know what I mean? We should throw that into chat GPT, see if we can get an analysis.

Gigawatt Coffee, Code Bongino and Executive Resumes

Eli the Coffee Guy from Gigawatt Coffee sends a care package and offers a discount code for listeners. The hosts discuss the "Code Bongino" phenomenon where the name works as a discount code on various websites. Linda Lou Patkin, the "Duchess of Jobs," is also recognized for her ongoing support and resume services.

gigawatt coffee· espresso martini· dan bongino· resumes· bensonville

2:02:44 Well, you won't get a good one. No, but we'll get something. We'll get something Eli the coffee guy Oh, wait, wait before you go in since you brought that in there's a little side. So I've gotten to discrepant notes one note from a guy saying that the AI especially when I played the sounds from the AI makes and especially when the Hallucinations from the yeah, I'm one of these 11 11, whatever that thing was and he said yeah 11 labs he He says, don't play these, these are demons coming through the system. And that's where the demon entry into the world, into our portal will be through AI.

2:03:22 Which contrasts with a minister? I don't have the note in front of me. I should dig it up a Preacher who who came in with this just the opposite is AI will be God speaking to us Yeah, well, that's Elon Musk who says that So no, I'm thinking there's this too. I I would I'm thinking more the demons because the sound the Hallucinations that I got from 11 labs were demon-like. They weren't anything that was human. They were demon-like. No, we are literally trying to build humans in our own image with AI. I'm with the demon guy. I'm on board with him.

2:04:07 Yeah. Now Eli the Coffee Guy, Bensonville, Illinois, 206.06, likely $200 with the fees, thank you. And he says, with the farmers market season in full swing, I've had a chance to meet a few fellow producers who apparently hang out at the farmers markets. Of course. It brings a smile to my face when someone walks up to our booth and greets me with a hearty, in the morning! It's always a pleasure to meet like-minded individuals. After all, connection is protection. I hope to run into more of you in the Chicagoland area this summer. Thank you to the NOA Agenda Show for helping bring people together. And for producers who want fresh air roasted coffee delivered to their door, visit gigawattcoffeeroasters.com and use code ITM20 for 20% off your order. And I have to say he sent me another care package.

2:04:55 filled with, I mean, I'm really the cold brew. You're the can guy. I'm the can guy. And he also sent me, him and his wife, his beautiful wife, Jen, they sent me a bottle of spot remover since I'm having issues with shaking the can and then opening it and spraying it all over myself. Yeah. And he does say that the Live Wire, which I'm drinking right now, makes a great espresso martini. So now, espresso martini, does that mean you just throw it into vodka or gin? Which one is it? I don't think it'd be gin. I think it has to be vodka. I'm going to try it. I'm going to try it. Now, do you still put brine in there or is it just the coffee stuff? Why don't you look it up?

2:05:44 Stay caffeinated, he says. Now I want to say, since you said that, he also sent me a care package, but he sends me coffee beans. Well, he's smart. He knows that we're different guys. Well, I grind, you know, I have a grinder and I got the, I mean, I got a Breville, it's got a grinder built in and this doesn't, makes a great cup of coffee. But yes, thank you very much for the care packages. So you get the extra, we get to chat a little bit about it and you get to talk, he's a smart guy. He knows marketing and his wife designs the packaging which is dynamite stuff as far as I'm concerned. As an aside, I got a note separate from a donation from, I didn't never really realize this, we make jokes about Code Bongino

Non-Binary Terminology, ENBY vs NB and Black Community Standards

A TikTok clip explains why some white non-binary individuals use the term "ENBY" instead of "NB," claiming that "NB" was originated by the Black community to mean "non-black." The hosts ridicule the linguistic policing and mention "Mo" from the MoFactShow, who identifies simply as an American.

2:08:11 Those help a lot. They really do. Anybody can do that for any amount, any frequency. It's up to you. And again, thank you to these producers for being execs and associate execs of episode 1666. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. No agenda donations are trouble. You got a lot of nasty notes from people. Oh, it's not a pagan thing. I'm a new nouveau pagan Yeah, that was there. We don't it went on and on about it. So I said, you know what who cares? I'm not dealing no I've and yes, I think I think you made a wise executive decision. I'm okay with that So did you bring anything today besides no talk? No, nothing. I do have another tick-tock clip. We should listen to I

2:09:08 Let me do the jingle then. Let me do another TikTok jingle. Yeah, where's the TikTok? Talk. Talk. TikTok. Alright, I'm gonna play this clip because it's about something that involves black folk and you're like, you have a friend, I understand, one guy. One of my best friends is black. One of your best friends is black. And so you'll be able to answer this question. Okay, here we go. I'm non-binary and this is why I use this abbreviation and not this one. E-N-B-Y or NB is actually a phonetic pronunciation of NB for non-binary. So then why don't I just use NB? Because NB originated from the black community to mean non-black.

2:09:53 It predates the term non-binary. I'm white and because the black community has asked us not to use it. So I'm going to listen and respect that. It's that simple. Well, I'm happy to hear that the black community had a meeting and called her. They do that. And called her and called her not to use NB. Stop doing it. Stop doing NB. So I want to know what's the deal. It was ridiculous. That's what I thought. It's ridiculous. I think they like NBENBY because it's cute. Mo considers himself, here's a shocker, shocker, sit down. He can, I mean, you may not be aware, Mo of the MoFactShow with Adam Curry, Mo considers himself an American. It's a crazy, it's a crazy concept.

Right to Contraception Act, Poison Pills and Gender Surgery

Senate Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, introduced the "Right to Contraception Act" as a "show us who you are" vote. Republicans, including Rand Paul and Eric Schmidt, argue the bill is an election-year ploy containing "poison pills," such as provisions that would prevent states from regulating gender-reassignment surgeries for minors.

chuck schumer· mazie hirono· rand paul· contraception· gender surgery

2:10:46 I know a number of black people that consider themselves American and rightly so I might add. Yes, yes, yes they built some of it. So I do have a couple clips on this, this is kind of funny. There's actually there's a couple of funny items in here, but I'm gonna go with the crazy contraception. Oh So the Democrats decided to Because they're looking for a topic that they can Pound the Republicans with yeah, but they decided to come with this idea of creating legislation to get the Republicans to vote no and Anything then he did let's just make him look stupid in the season of elections. I

2:11:30 So this is a bill that guarantees the right to contraception as if there's some hindrance, and there isn't. There's zero hindrance. There's nobody saying we shouldn't have contraception. I mean, yeah, maybe back in the 20s when Planned Parenthood first cropped up, but no, there's nothing. So what's the point of this bill? The bill is to get Republicans to vote no on it, but there's a kicker coming up. Play clip one to get the background. MAGA Supreme Court and the Republican-led Senate has created. This is not a show vote. Wait, this is Schumer? Schumer's in on this nonsense? This is Schumer's idea. This is a show us who you are vote. Let me say that again.

2:12:23 This is not a show vote. This is a show us who you are vote and the Republicans don't want to show who they really are Senator Hirono the Democrat from Hawaii who co-sponsored the bill accused Supreme Court justices of being extremists Justice Alito respects his wife to her right right what right to to fly a flag upside down but he has no problems telling millions of women in our country what to do with our bodies. Obsession with power and control over women. Whoa! So he brought in Marcy from Hawaii, the clearly low IQ person?

2:13:04 She's the dumbest, everyone believes she's the dumbest person probably ever in the Senate. He brought her in, let me just hear the end of that clip. That was... Billions of women in our country, what to do with our bodies? Obsession with power and control over women. What you zegt, ben je zelf, lady. Who's obsessed here? Wow, Schumer really lowered himself with this one. Let me get some idiots. I mean, I'm not even going to use the word but... Let me see. Yeah, the thing is, one thing I didn't, I heard of Fox and these other guys are talking about, oh, and the right wing talkers, oh, you know, these guys are just trying to set us up for this nonsense. The Republicans could have voted yes on it, but they always, you know, the Democrats are really good at putting the poison pill in. And so, so you'd vote no. Then Rand Paul's always voting no on stuff because of everything. Just everything. He votes no on everything because there's always some little gotcha in the bill. Of course.

2:14:07 that says no, because I'm not voting for the gotcha, I'm voting no because of the gotcha. But nobody ever talks about that. In this case, it's discussed kind of as an aside and clip to which I call the kicker. Despite claims by Democrats, not a single Republican senator has shown support to restrict access to contraception. And on social media, former President Donald Trump posted never and will never advocate imposing restrictions on birth control and other contraceptives. and that the accusations are a Democratic fabricated lie, misinformation and disinformation. According to Senator Eric Schmidt, the Republican from Missouri, this Wednesday's vote was part of Democrats electoral strategy. No, that's a lie. I support open access to contraception. The fact of the matter is that's not a risk anywhere. This is an election year ploy by Chuck Schumer. He knows his party's in trouble. He knows that they're losing voters because

2:15:00 people can't afford things anymore and so it's a pretty desperate attempt and also tucked away in this is also the the provision that would disallow states from regulating sex change operations for minors. Oh there it is. Hello! Oh those they're so tricky. Nobody brings that up in any of the other conversations I've heard. This was on NTD by the way. Oh yeah, of course. And so in the bill, yeah, we gotta protect contraception as if it needs it. And then they slip in this little ditty about, oh no, the states have no, if everyone starts chopping off dicks and breasts, because they're ghouls, in any state you can't do anything about it, now it's federal.

2:15:43 What a, what a, this is horrible and the Democrats all voted for it. That's the thing that they should turn it around on. Who's obsessed? The Democrats want your kids dick cut off. Well, yeah, I think we can have that on our banner in Times Square. John C. Dvorak, no agenda show. P.S. John C. Dvorak speaks on his own behalf. So there's a third part of this just to wrap it. It's important to note that House Democrats have also filed a discharge petition to bypass Speaker of the House Mike Johnson and force a vote on the House floor to consider the Rights to Contraception Act.

Male Contraceptive Gel, Hormone Suppression and Alex Jones

Researchers at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting in Boston presented results for a new male contraceptive gel. The gel, rubbed on the shoulder blades, uses two hormones to suppress sperm production. The segment includes a humorous audio clip of Alex Jones commenting on chemicals in the water.

2:16:23 Oh, so they're trying to make it really happen too. Wow. They get the vote so they can say, hey, look at these Republicans. They didn't want to protect the right to contraception. But can I just say, they're not incorrect. The Democrats with the Right to Contraception Act, they are at least truthful to their mission because they don't want your kids to have kids. They just have a weird way of going about it. Yep. By making your kids infertile. Yeah, well they're doing a good job of that. There's also another way that just popped up. Researchers are reporting promising results with a male contraceptive gel. It combines two hormones and is suppressing sperm production faster than other methods of male birth control. An ongoing clinical trial involves more than 200 men being treated with the gel.

2:17:14 86% reached the desired sperm suppression level in just eight weeks. Study results will be presented Sunday at the Endocrine Society's annual meeting in Boston. And it is Sunday and we have a little bit of audio from the Endocrine Society in Boston. They have the results of this promising male contraceptive which combines two hormones which are rubbed between your shoulder blades. I don't like them putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin frogs gay! That is the results. Yeah. Man, what is going on?

CHAPTER 37 / 47 Discussion

Biden Border Executive Order, Asylum Restrictions and C-SPAN Callers

President Biden announced an executive order to restrict asylum claims when illegal border crossings exceed 2,500 per day. The move faced criticism from both progressives and Republicans. A C-SPAN caller, "Constance from Chesapeake," is featured praising Biden while calling for "firing squads" for treasonous Republicans, illustrating the intensity of partisan rhetoric.

joe biden· executive order· asylum· border patrol· c-span

2:17:52 Well, they've always been for population control. Yeah. And so now they're taking it to the next level. It's amazing. It's amazing. I think another big piece of news is the executive order that President Biden put out there. All of a sudden, it's amazing and about face. It's all about the border. The public has left you no choice. Flanked by border officials and Democratic governors, President Biden announced sweeping restrictions to the decades old asylum system. This ban will remain in place until the number of people trying to enter illegally.

2:18:33 This is very interesting. I looked, it's a very long executive order with a lot of preamble. But for some reason, President Biden says people from China. But it doesn't say that in the executive order. But he just said people from China. We remain in place until the number of people trying to enter illegally is reduced to a level that our system can effectively manage. The rate of illegal crossings has fallen from its peak last winter, but remains historically high. And polls show immigration is a top issue for voters, who consistently give Donald Trump higher marks.

2:19:11 On day one, we will seal the border. But progressives in Congress argued that today's move by Biden undermined American values and abandoned people fleeing violence and unstable conditions. While Republicans who have urged Biden to take executive action slammed him today for doing just that. Why didn't you do this in 2021? Why didn't you do this in 2022? If he was concerned about the border, he would have done this a long time ago. The restrictions are sure to face legal challenges. The ACLU telling CBS News Today, we intend to sue. A ban on asylum is illegal, just as it was when Trump unsuccessfully tried it.

2:19:52 Biden insisted his approach is more humane than Trump's. I'll never separate children from their families at the border. I will not ban people from this country because of their religious beliefs. What? He won't separate- He's out of control. Religious beliefs, China. This thing is so long and so full of legalese, it's almost incomprehensible. But I know for sure that it doesn't say only people from China. So I don't know why he threw that in and why CBS highlighted that. But if you want to know how strong the programming is for Democrat voters, all you need to do is go to C-SPAN, my favorite morning show. Thank you. Before you drift away from this topic, I do have a couple of clips. It is about this topic, John. Oh, OK. I said, if you want to know what people really think about how strong the programming is on Democrat voters,

2:20:51 Then you only need to go, thank you Chad Tolar, to C-SPAN and listen to this sweet, sweet granny who's calling in from the Democrat line. Let's talk to Constance in Chesapeake, Virginia. Democrat, good morning. Good morning, dear. I'm glad that I get to speak now because I've just heard several phone calls slanting our wonderful President Biden. not a liar. These people have obviously been listening to Fox News and lies on the YouTube or whatever on these computers. The media is ruining the minds of people and slanting them from the truth. Joe Biden is a wonderful human being and he's doing everything he can to save our democracy.

2:21:38 and closing the border at this point is a very wise choice. I just wish maybe we could have made that a few months ago. But these Republicans are repugnant in the way they try to prevent the United States from success, from doing the right thing. They are a tribe a cult of I don't know what they are anymore they're a combination of everything wicked and Yeah, they're trying to seize our government It was a coup and I would love to see some of these people put before a firing squad for treason The granny turns on a dime put him before the firing squad she says oh

CHAPTER 38 / 47 Discussion

Democratic Schism, John Fetterman and Asylum Officer Bandwidth

Senator John Fetterman defended President Biden’s border executive order against criticism from progressive "Squad" members like Pramila Jayapal. Analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies suggests the order may be ineffective due to a lack of asylum officers; with only 1,000 officers able to conduct a few interviews daily, the system cannot handle the volume of migrants.

john fetterman· pramila jayapal· ntd· asylum· border security

2:22:23 Well, that would have been a good clip after these clips. Because what you did when you played the CBS mainstream media stuff was they avoided assiduously, it seems to me, discussing the fact that there's a schism in the Democrat Party regarding Biden's border policies. Wasn't discussed, wasn't brought up, but it was on NTD. Democrats are divided in their support for President Biden's new executive order on immigration. The most progressive Democrats are now criticizing the president. But how exactly would the executive order actually work? NTD's Ariane Pallstar has the details. Doing nothing is not an option. We have to act. President Biden on Tuesday announcing executive action to tackle the immigration crisis.

2:23:13 Multiple members of the progressive squad think his steps are too strict, such as Representative Pramila Jayapal, who said this. I am profoundly, profoundly disappointed in this executive order. It is a step in the wrong direction. Now on Wednesday, some Democrats came to Biden's defense. Senator John Fetterman directly responded to Jayapal's comments. Well, of course she's entitled to her own opinion, but it does also seem that some of the harshest words for the president in this situation seems to be more coming from very safe and blue very kinds of places. And I never thought it was unreasonable for any Democrat to want to make our border more secure. You know, NTD in their infinite wisdom have created a new dance, the progressive squat.

2:24:08 I'm laughing. Something about the progressive squat that I like. Well, Fetterman makes a good point, curiously he's been making good points for a while. Yeah. Which is that the only people that come out against the Biden executive order are in super blue areas where they can't not get re-elected. They can say whatever they want. So you get to hear what they really think. Why do you think that Fetterman is making so much sense? I mean, it's almost like if you take a Democrat and give the Democrat brain damage, then they all of a sudden start to talk sense. Isn't it weird? Kind of weird, but it doesn't apply to Biden. He's had his top of his head removed twice. So obviously, Fetterman is an outlier.

2:24:59 So here's the second part of this. Democratic representative Jared Moskowitz suggested that some of his colleagues might be showing signs of hypocrisy when it comes to immigration. I didn't hear a lot from Democrats when we were trying to pass the bipartisan bill from the Senate. Most Democrats were behind passing that. But now that Biden's doing it alone, they're critical. Look, I think what the president doing is the right thing to do. The executive action works by not allowing any asylum applications between ports of entry. Immigration authorities should now be turning back illegal immigrants since the daily average of encounters is over 2,500. The last time the daily average was below 2,500 was in January of 2021, the month Biden took office. However, there are some exceptions to that rule, such as for unaccompanied minors.

2:25:47 And another big one, if migrants say they face persecution and torture in their home country, then they're still eligible for asylum. But in that case officers have to conduct a special interview which takes more time, as Andrew Arthur with the Center for Immigration Studies tells NTD. There are just over a thousand asylum officers to conduct those interviews. They take about two hours to do and an asylum officer can do about two to three a day. So the agency just doesn't have the bandwidth and so consequently DHS is probably going to continue to release migrants into the United States even after this rule takes effect. The math doesn't add up to me.

2:26:32 There's a thousand officers dealing with asylum seekers and they can do two to three a day and there's 2,500 asylum seekers coming in. That's more than adequate because two or three a day, two to three a day is two to three thousand asylum seekers going through the 1,000 officers. So this whining about we don't have the resources, which it seems to be all the government does, I think is somewhat bogus. Well, the executive order does call for thousands more agents to be doing this work. So is more money, more money, more money. So I don't know. I don't know. Just simple math. But you know, they just stopped this nonsense. They've already filled us up with too many migrants and there's all kinds of issues. They have to reverse it. Yes. All right. Yeah, I'm waiting for you.

South Africa Elections, ANC Majority Loss and EU Parliament Surge

The African National Congress (ANC) lost its parliamentary majority in South Africa for the first time in 30 years. Meanwhile, in Europe, right-wing parties like Marine Le Pen’s National Rally and Germany’s AfD are surging in the European Parliament elections. The hosts discuss the limited power of the EU Parliament compared to the European Commission.

south africa· anc· nelson mandela· european parliament· marine le pen

2:27:37 Well, that was the end of that little thing. I do have a, uh... A little bit on the Hunter Biden testimony, which I thought was funny. What about Africa? I'm getting emails. People want Africa news. Okay, I got South Africa. ANC is out. Yes. Hold on a second. Here it is. Yes. Africa news, everybody. South Africa's ANC party has lost its majority in parliament for the first time since the end of white minority rule 30 years ago. The party once led by Nelson Mandela got just over 40% of the vote in national elections this week. South Africa is struggling with high unemployment, electricity and water shortages, and rampant crime. So does this mean Whitey back in charge or is that, are they going to make a coalition with that radical guy, the EFF guy? I have no idea. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense what's happening. And of course, they have the same thing. You run into this everywhere around the world.

2:28:30 Rampant crime. What is you know, it's almost like it's being done on purpose I was looking at some of the stuff that's going on in Germany with its with its immigration issues where they also have border might as well be an open border and they're kicking the Ukrainians out and moving in these Syrians and and other and the Ukrainians like they you know, they're being taken back and they're rousting the boys and Yeah. Browsing them. Browsing them. Yeah, you know, so that they can get their global financial reset. I don't know, it's horrible. And today, or actually over the next few days, but today I think is, we're right in the middle of it, we have the European Union elections. It's a big deal. The European Parliament, I should say, it's a big deal.

2:29:20 Because, it looks like the far right, the far right, the far right might actually prevail. Wherever you look in this EU election campaign, parties on the far right are surging. They include the well-established, like Marine Le Pen's National Rally and Germany's Alternative for Germany. But they also include new ones, like Spain's Vox and the Belgian Vlaams Belang. In 16 of the 27 member states, right-wing parties are polling in excess of 20%. The traditional domination of centrist parties in the parliament is threatened. That could have real impact. Far-right parties have differences, but they all oppose migration and almost all want to reduce the power of Brussels and its institutions.

2:30:08 We must stand against them. We must sanction them. We must dismiss them. We must give this power the most crushing electoral defeat possible. Big gains could make it harder to pass new laws that give the EU institutions more power over national parliaments. Further divides could come over support for Ukraine. Some, like Giorgio Maloney's Brothers of Italy and Poland's Law and Justice, are strong supporters of Kiev. But France's National Rally, Germany's AFD and Hungary's ruling Fidesz are much less enthusiastic. Far right. It's so funny because not like these Euro parliamentarians have any power. They get to do, oh I don't like this red card, yellow card. They have zero power. No, they got no power. It's Queen Ursula. And the Starfleet Command there, the Commission, they're the ones that make, but you can't even introduce laws in the European Parliament. You can only vote on stuff with a card. I don't like it. Yellow card.

Hunter Biden Gun Trial, Crack Addiction and Form 4473

The federal gun trial of Hunter Biden continued in Delaware with testimony from his ex-wife and former girlfriend regarding his crack cocaine addiction in 2018. The defense argues Biden did not "knowingly" lie on Form 4473. The hosts clarify the specific wording of the federal firearm background check form and criticize the media's reporting on the case.

2:31:14 Don't like it. Yeah, don't like it. They don't like it. Well, we'll see. Well, you get a lot of good speeches there. People bitching. Definitely saw them. Yeah. Yeah. So a couple of things here. I do want to get the Hunter Biden stuff out of the way. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do Hunter Biden for sure. And again, the only place you can get some at least reasonable news coverage is NTD and I find that to be annoying. Hunter Biden testimony in TD. This is in TD. The criminal trial of the president's son continues today. Hunter Biden is accused of lying about his drug use when purchasing a gun. Taking the stand today, Hunter Biden's ex wife and former girlfriend, both testifying about his past addiction. Meanwhile, the man who sold him the gun said he watched the first son mark no to the question about drug use.

2:32:13 NTD's legal correspondent Arlene Richards has more on the second day of testimony. As prosecutors, FBI witness wrapped up her testimony Wednesday, two women from Hunter Biden's past testified about his addiction. The prosecution accuses Biden of lying on a form about being addicted to drugs before buying a gun in October 2018. The defense has been raising doubt that Biden was still using drugs at the time, saying he was only drinking liquor, which isn't mentioned on the form. Ex-girlfriend Zoe Keston recalled seeing Biden smoke crack cocaine every 20 minutes, except when he was sleeping, she said. She had a romantic relationship with Biden from December 2017 to October 2018.

2:33:01 Keston said Biden asked her to get cash from ATMs to buy drugs. He used a lot of cash to buy drugs, she said. On cross-examination, Keston said she didn't know what Biden was using in October 2018 when he bought the gun. Biden's ex-wife, Kathleen Buell, briefly took the stand in the morning. Her testimony confirmed that Biden was using crack cocaine as early as 2015. She said she found his crack pipes around the house and in the car, but never saw him smoking. What's this crack pipe? He has crack pipes all over the place. That's my friend's crack pipe. That's not mine. God.

2:33:46 So this is number two. You know, one thing that's never discussed and no one's ever asked Biden this. Joe, if your son is convicted, since this is a federal case, will you pardon him? Why is this not at the front of the questions when they have the press conferences or when they talk to Biden? And yeah, I mean, you'd expect the Fox guys to do that. They don't do it either. Nobody has said to Biden, hey, are you going to pardon your son if he gets found guilty? Because you know he will. I mean, it's what you do. He'd be a bad dad if he didn't do that. Yeah, I agree. But no, no one wants to talk about it because I think there's, you know,

2:34:31 Yeah, it's rigged. The whole thing's rigged. Let's play part two of this. Oh, what a revelation. Biden's attorney said the president's son didn't fill out the entire form himself and that the boxes were already checked. No. Former gun store clerk Gordon Cleveland, the man who sold the gun to Biden, testified that he watched Biden mark no on the question of whether he was addicted or using illegal drugs and that Biden didn't show any confusion about answering it. On cross-examination, Biden's attorney didn't get to ask about the form. Cleveland will resume his testimony on Thursday.

2:35:08 Earlier in the day, the FBI witness testified on cross-examination that she didn't have first-hand knowledge about whether Biden got help filling out the form. OK, this is complete bullcrap and I will tell you why. I don't know, when's the last time you filled out form 4473 upon purchasing a firearm, John? Do you remember? Probably a while ago. So I probably filled one out. I was only 14 at the time. Yeah, I probably filled one out in the last two years, probably. And the actual question on form 4473 is not, are you addicted to drugs? This is horrible reporting. This is the question.

2:35:54 Are you an unlawful user of or addicted to marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug or any other controlled substance? Alcohol is a controlled substance. It's also a depressant, an anti-depressant, probably a depressant or a stimulant. I mean, this is not what the question is on the form. The gun shop owner has to stand there and watch you fill it out. Well, the gun shop owner said he did and he checked the box. Yeah, so there's no pre-filled box or any nonsense like that.

CHAPTER 41 / 47 Discussion

Hunter Biden Laptop Evidence, FBI Testimony and 51 Intelligence Officials

During the Hunter Biden trial, the FBI confirmed that contents from Biden’s laptop and iCloud account were entered into evidence. The hosts highlight that this officially debunks the 2020 claim by 51 intelligence officials that the laptop was "Russian disinformation." They criticize the mainstream media for failing to emphasize this admission.

hunter biden· laptop· fbi· icloud· disinformation

2:36:39 So I think alcohol... That was the testimony of the... Yeah, lies. No, that was his lawyer's assertion. Lies. It's all lies. I have a one-minute clip about this which focuses on a different issue a little bit. With his wife by his side, Hunter Biden today was back in federal court in Delaware for opening statements in his trial on felony gun charges. First Lady Jill Biden and Hunter's sister Ashley sat behind the defendant in a show of support. While prosecutor Derek Hines laid out the government's case, telling the jury, no one is above the law. It doesn't matter who you are or what your name is. The president's son, Hines said, bought a gun and lied during a background check in 2018, knowing he was a drug user and a drug addict when he filled out the federal form for gun purchases.

2:37:23 Hence lawyer Abby Lowell told jurors in his opening statement, Hunter Biden did not knowingly violate these laws and said at the time he bought the gun, Hunter was using alcohol, not drugs. That his behavior was totally inconsistent with drug use, saying there's no such thing as a high functioning crack addict. So the part that's just not being reported is the fact that this laptop has been and the contents of the laptop from his iCloud account, which came directly from Apple. have been entered into evidence, ergo proving that the laptop was not Russian disinformation. This is what's not being reported because that's what the story was from all of our intelligence officials. Was it 51 of them? Yeah. That's the story. But no, no, no, let's let's not talk about that.

Pat Sajak Retirement, Wheel of Fortune and The Pat Sajak Show

Pat Sajak is retiring from "Wheel of Fortune" after 41 seasons. The hosts reflect on Sajak’s career, including his short-lived late-night talk show on CBS (1989-1990). Sajak had hoped to emulate the thoughtful style of Jack Parr, but the show failed to compete in an era that favored the high-energy comedy of Arsenio Hall and Johnny Carson.

pat sajak· wheel of fortune· vanna white· cbs· jack parr

2:38:15 Yes, the entire account is entered into evidence. Yeah. And it was from the laptop and the whole laptop fiasco thing. Well, yeah. 51 liars. Yeah. How can you trust these guys? It's inexcusable. You know what I'm waiting for? I'm waiting for someone to say, Mr. Hunter Biden, what's that in your mouth? Because it's a crack pipe, obviously. Yeah, it's a crack pipe. End of an era, John, and an opportunity for you and me in our never-ending search for an exit strategy. Tonight, after more than 40 years on Wheel of Fortune, five more spins for Pat Sajak. This week will be his last. My name is Pat Sajak and I've been fortunate enough to wander onto the set. Pat Sajak retiring after 41 seasons starting in 1981, watched by generations of families. We have a million dollar winner.

2:39:13 Today I'm here with Pat Sajak, interviewed by his daughter Maggie, who works on the show and is even filled in for Vanna White. Somewhere along the line, we became more than a popular show. We became part of the popular culture and more importantly, we became part of people's lives. What made you decide that this is the right time for you to leave the show. I'd rather leave a couple years too early than a couple of years too late. Could I still do it? Yeah, I think I could for a while. There's also some other things in life that we'd like to do and I'm enjoying this last year. It's been a great 40 years and I'm looking forward to whatever's ahead. So after 40 years, Pat Sajak is giving up on the ever popular show.

2:39:58 Which leaves a gaping hole, John, open for our game show... WIN, LOSE, OR DRONE! I'm telling you, it's time. The time is ripe. Our game show will be an instant hit. You know, the funny thing about Pat Sajak is that about, I don't know, about 15 years in, he, uh, He said this during that early era, that he always wanted to do a late night talk show. Yes. Yes. And he actually got one. It was like a... Yeah, he did. That didn't last very long, did it? No, and I'm not absolutely sure why because his thesis, and I...

2:40:41 thinking about it, I've thought about it for decades. His thesis was that what was missing from the late night talk show scene was Jack Parr and he felt that he could be the next Jack Parr which was the guy who was the precursor to Johnny Carson and Jack Parr was a kind of a Phil Donahue-like guy who was somewhat thoughtful and he did a different kind of a talk show, he was a little more emotional. And so they gave him a talk show and he tried to be Jack Parr and I thought he was successful at it.

2:41:21 But it turns, you have to assume, it turns out that nobody wanted Jack Parr. It was an over-the-heel kind of an idea. Nobody wants anything thoughtful. They want one-liners. They want, you know, gut-filled. They want people that are funny. And they just gave up on anything more elaborate than that and that's where it stands as we speak. Well, the Pat Sajak show aired on CBS from January 9th, 1989 to April 13th, 1990. Not a very long run. Short run. But here's the interesting bit.

CHAPTER 43 / 47 Discussion

Rush Limbaugh, Fairness Doctrine and the Rise of Syndication

The history of Rush Limbaugh’s rise in the late 1980s is discussed, noting how the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine allowed for the growth of conservative talk radio. Limbaugh’s success in syndication eventually displaced local talk show hosts like Leo Laporte. The hosts argue that podcasting has since solved the problem of centralized media control.

rush limbaugh· fairness doctrine· leo laporte· knbr· syndication

2:42:02 I don't remember this, I wasn't living in America. No, I was actually, but I don't remember it. I do. Two weeks before the Pat Sajak show was cancelled, on March 30th, 1990, radio show Rush Limbaugh made headlines when he guest hosted the program and in a departure from its regular format, entered the audience to get a response about the veto of a bill in Idaho that would have restricted abortion. No wonder he got cancelled. Well, he got canceled before Limbaugh showed up. Limbaugh was set up for a number of TV things. He showed up in 87. I know. Do you know where they taped that show? The Rush Limbaugh TV show? At Unitel Video, right in the MTV studio.

2:43:01 Interesting. Yeah. Well, he showed up on the radio in 87 and became an instant success. And what happened was there was a change in the fair use laws and they pulled the plug on it. It was done to prevent radio stations from hyping one candidate or another. It was a political thing. Right. And it outlived its usefulness. And so fair use It got pulled and then you could do a show like Rush Limbaugh did, which was yak about conservative values or whatever. He was very targeted. He was targeting an audience. And he was getting popular so fast that they put him on TV. I think it was ABC that did it first. But it was, I watched the show and it was done to set him up.

2:43:54 for failure. It was not a good show. It was a terrible show. It was very, even he never really went back to TV after that. No. And I think he realized what had happened. I think it was syndicated. I don't think it was a network. I think it was a syndicated show. I could be wrong. No, I don't think it was. I think it was ABC or one of the networks did it. I don't think it was syndicated at all. Yeah, I know his radio show was obviously, but there's some irony to the radio show being syndicated because Rush Limbaugh is the guy who kicked Leo Laporte off of KNBR.

2:44:32 Leo Laporte used to have a classic local talk show where he'd bring, you know, it was very formulaic and you'd talk to people and they'd take calls. Wait, weren't you the sidekick for that show for a while? I was, I've been on that show but I've never been a technical sidekick. So Limbaugh came along and then all of these syndicated guys started showing up because it turned out they could do a a compelling show that had national interest for like half the price because the syndication costs were a lot less than a live guy. Best price. And so Limbaugh really pioneered that and it kind of ruined the landscape for local talk shows. A little history there for people. Well, you know what solved that, don't you? No. Podcasting! Oh yeah, well.

2:45:31 Podcasting's worse. I'm gonna show my support by donating to KnowAgenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on KnowAgenda. In the morning. That's right, but you're just gonna have to deal with us being podcasters. Whether it's worse or not, I think it's better. I think it's an improvement for the world in general. Four and a half million podcasts? Yeah, what about it? Most of them are crap. That's the point. Only about 300 of them update episodes regularly. 300,000 of them update episodes regularly. 300,000. That's global. That's global. And there's a lot of podcasts in Spanish language. So, you know, there's plenty of room. There's room for us, John. There's room for you and me out there in podcast land. We should keep at it. We should keep at it. I'm telling you.

CHAPTER 44 / 47 Discussion

Producer Credits, Birthday Announcements and F-Cancer Karma

The hosts read through the list of producers who donated $50 or more, including those from Holland, Texas, and California. They announce several birthdays and deliver "F-Cancer" karma for a listener named Scott. The segment includes a discussion on the "weird" etymology of the word "Wyrd" (meaning fated) as used by a listener.

2:46:29 We're going to thank the producers who helped us out, $50 and above. Typically name and location only, unless there's something fun or interesting that we'd like to highlight, and John's going to take us through to $50. Yeah, let's start with Anonymous, $166.61.

Yes you were going to give us a report on your meetup at the get job house. Yes they're all mixed in with this on the spreadsheet so I didn't have anything specific about the donations. There's about 15 maybe 20 people maybe I don't think so showed up and it turns out that there was a we tried to figure out why the turnout was so low and it had to do with the

2:49:24 It was graduation weekend and there was all these issues and I got a lot of letters from people since they sent out a note. They said, oh, I wanted to come but I'm on a flight to somewhere to see someone about something. I thought you just weren't pulling them in like you used to. I don't think I'm pulling them in. You're not pulling them in, man. I'm not pulling them in. You're not pulling them in. Top-notch heating and air conditioning in Mantee, Utah, 85. Anonymous, New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 81, 95.

She is in fact a pastor. QQ in Key West, Florida, 68. Julie Shepard in Angola, Indiana, 6661. And she got a birthday coming up. Governor of El Dorado, oh, this is actually Dana Brunetti. And he came in with 6666 and he mainly hoping. He has a note. So he read his note, because he was irked. He was irked by the last show, I guess, where he, I don't think we said this, but he says, I'm not autistic, nor do I have Asperger's.

2:51:04 I don't think we ever suggested that. I might have. I might have. Oh, you did. I do have OCD, or as John puts it, I'm a neat freak. And so he sent in some 66.66 satanic money. He says satanic sex money. Satanic sex, which is the extra six. Wow. Thanks, Governor of El Dorado. Thanks. No, he doesn't have any signs of autism, let alone Asperger's. No, I think you identified him as OCD. I did. Boy, he is. He's a neat freak. He's got everything in the right... He's like you. You are too. And I think I brought up the fact that he didn't have Tourette's, which you do. Yes, correct. And I still think that ever since you mentioned this about five shows ago, you think that Tourette's was caused by a vax. Yes. Yes, it happened around seven, which is prime age for more stupid vaxes.

2:52:03 That's when it started. I've always thought about that. I said, gee, that's, you know, it could be. You said poor, poor Adam is what you thought. Poor Adam is what I said. Your life would have been a lot different. Oh, I would have been a loser. But I think Tourette's has got me where I am today. I think Tourette's has been good for me. Oh, you're pro-vax. Well, that's good. No, I'm pro-Tourette's. Joe Rizzi in Trago, Montana, 66. That's a birthday call out well Robert Henry six four six seventy and he's a happy birthday Dame Christina pearl yes Yes, our friend our Southwest Flight attendant and I do have a boots on the ground regarding our discussion Not about people poking her But from the blog an ilria.com which is airline backwards and

2:52:59 They were the first to report the change for Southwest. They announced early this year that they would switch to a cheaper, slim seat, but they said they would not add seats to the plane or increase the space between seats in coach. The math meant they are adding a premium class of either premium coach or first class that take up that extra space. The question is, of course, whether you can add the rag muffins as I like to call them to those seats without assigning seats. In April, Southwest said off the cuff on an earnings call they were evaluating a change in class of service and also the possibility of assigned seating.

2:53:40 Which will ruin my experience. It will ruin everybody's experience because you're used to the things the way they... Why fix it if it's not broken? Because they're bean counters. They're trying to make more money. That's because the CEO that really started that company and made it work is out. He died. He died. Herb died. And then you end up with these idiots running the thing. They're going to run it into the ground. It's just obvious to me. Sir Mainframe, meanwhile, from Ventura, California, comes in with 64. Matthew Martell in Brumal, Pennsylvania, 5856. And he wants some sales, Karma. Sir Hilton in Dalton, Georgia, 5809. Sir Ernesto Grande in Rutland, Massachusetts, 5809.

She homeschooled 10 kids as well. I know her. Thank you, Cheryl. 10 kids? Yep, 10 kids and homeschooled every single one of them. They probably went to Spelling Bee. They're musicians. They're all very accomplished musicians.

Heather Krausen, Lubbock, Texas, 5333, which I assume is 50. Preston Isaacson, we might as well just do all these as $50 donors even though Sir Rekhalcitrant in Santa Rosa is at the meetup. Came out to 51.50 but we'll go from there with starting with Heather Krause in Lubbock, Texas. Preston Isaacson in Boca Raton. Sir Sergeant Postal in Miami Lakes.

Alex Zavala in Kyle, Texas. Or is it Kylie? Kyle.

2:57:36 Michael LaBar in Williamston, Michigan. Alex Zavala is a knight by the way. I remember this now. Thank you Alex, Sir Zavala. Richard Hufford who makes mention of the newsletter. Got a kick out of the NFL meme. Carrie Law and Warren Ohio, Dame Abigail who is the baronetess of the rhyming lines was at the meetup and she sent a, dropped off a really interesting card. And what's interesting is she used the trigger word for me, etymology, and then calls herself the weird poet. But weird is W-Y-R-D.

2:58:21 which of course, I had to go look this up. This is not weird as in weird. It's an old Anglo-Saxon word, which I think people should adopt. It means, W-Y-R-D, W-Y-R-D. People should look it up. It's got a good page in the wiki. What does it mean? It means fated or destined. So you would be like, for example, the weird podcaster. W-Y-R-D. Now they say that the word weird stems from this, I don't believe it. But I was very interested in that usage. The various things get me going. Sir Montauk in Fremont, California, 50. Steve Meyer in Goodyear, Arizona. He needs a de-douching. You've been de-douched. And I think we need an F cancer for Scott, we can put that at the end, I hope.

2:59:22 Brian Watson in Raleigh, North Carolina and Walker Phillips wraps things up and he's in San Rafael and that's our group of producers $50 and above for show 1666. Yeah, good group. Good-looking group actually. Thank you all so much. And again to those who come in under 50 for reasons of anonymity, we see you, $49.99. And again, thank you. If everybody would just do a sustaining donation, also known as a subscription, you can set it up yourself, that would help out a lot. I'm going to do a couple of Karmas here since they were all requested. Jobs, jobs, jobs. You've got Karma. And one more for good measure. You've got Karma.

CHAPTER 45 / 47 Discussion

Knighting Ceremony, Pothole Warnings and Microsoft Layoffs

A formal knighting ceremony is held for several producers, including Sir Dean of the Green River and Sir Mikey Ramone. A note from a former Microsoft cybersecurity engineer who was recently laid off prompts a call for "jobs karma." Another producer warns about giant potholes on California freeways and Caltrans' refusal to pay for damages.

3:00:08 And remember no agenda donations calm become a no agenda donor and supporter today And we kick it off right off the bat with Henry Henry Mackey he turns I don't know what is he nine? Seven how old is Henry today John? I think he's 30 He celebrated on June 1st, Dean Powell on the 4th, Joe Rizzi is celebrating today, Anonymous Composer turns 44 tomorrow, Michael Gaff celebrates a birthday tomorrow, DigiGuru also celebrates a birthday tomorrow, Julie Shepard says happy birthday to Berenstain, turning one years old, and Sir Robert Charles wishes Dame Christina Pearl, who doesn't know her, a very happy birthday. Happy birthday!

3:00:57 everybody here at the best podcast in the universe. Now we have a couple of layaway night notes to read here since they will be knighted today. This is from Dean Powell. Dear John Adam, the time has come to claim my knighthood. I just recently celebrated my 50th on the 4th and decided to randomly check on my layaway plan. Just so happened that I checked right after the 33rd installment. Uh-huh! That combined with a couple of early donations should put me clearly over the mark. The discovery of your podcast has been vindicating and intellectually soothing. Wait, I forgot, did I forget an F-cancer? Just remembered that. Yes, you did. You've got karma. Yeah, with an extra schnoz blow from John, that always helps. The discovery of your podcast has been vindicating and intellectually soothing. The two of you have carried a torch for the slave class through many a dark M5M cave and I am grateful. I would like to be known as Sir Dean of the Green River. I'll have whatever everyone else is having at the table. No jingles, no karma. Dean Powell, Evansville, Indiana.

3:01:58 I know Evansville. Then we have Mikey Ramone. He says, hi gents, just completed my night layaway and now I'm a proud knight. I'd like to hereby be known as Sir Mikey Ramone. It is extremely important to donate to this show, he says. I was driving in John's neck of the woods and was reminded because of the constant bitching about potholes to be on guard. Lo and behold, a giant pool size pothole right on the 13. I swerve to avoid and can attest this show can save your life or a lot of money in repairs. It is an extremely important thing to donate to the show. Thank you for everything. He throws in a Heil Satan after that. I don't know why. I should mention something. I don't know why he did that. Yes, mention. So one of our producers goes on, you know, you got your tire damaged by a pothole. You should put in a claim.

3:02:46 And they pay him and it turns out, lately, Caltrans has been refusing all claims. The freeways are filled with potholes. The entrances are filled with potholes. There's potholes all over the place. And you put in a claim nowadays, whatever, we'll look into it. They're not going to pay you. And a final note from Sir Michael Black, knight of the dude's name Ben, he says, after seven and a half years as a cybersecurity engineer at Microsoft, I was laid off. Laid off on Monday, please send jobs, karma and prayers to find a new job to support my wife and three homeschooled kids. Thank you for your courage. Well, prayers have been delivered. Here's your jobs, karma.

3:03:29 And that is a tee up and we're ready for our nightings. We have quite a few so I'm gonna grab the big blade for today. John, you have a blade ready? Something you can share with us? Yeah, right here. There you go. On the podium please, Jimmy Fulton, Peter Fahoof, Dean Powell, Mikey Ramone, and Shoban Alleman.

CHAPTER 47 / 47 Discussion

Francisco Scaramanga Apology, Kini Motion Detector and Outro

The hosts offer a clarification regarding Francisco Scaramanga’s Patreon, noting it was intended to fund medical expenses. John Dvorak provides a "tip of the day" for the Kini motion detector, a small device that sends text alerts when a drawer is opened. The show concludes with a montage of "bird flu" media clips and a final sign-off.

scaramanga· kini· motion detector· pat sajak· bird flu

3:09:12 So apparently Francisco Scaramanga is all bent out of shape now. Cowboy. Yeah, he says that he started his Patreon to raise money for a medical issue he doesn't want to discuss. Well, I'm sorry, that was not apparent to me. Oh, well, that's why I can see him being a jerk. But I didn't know that. All I see is a subscribe and see Cheesecake. So, sorry. Sorry, bro. Yeah, it's not your fault. You miscommunicated. Yeah, it's no harm intended. Love you. It's just ribbing.

3:09:55 Ribbing? Let me see, do I have any ISOs? I got some ISOs. I got some ISOs here. Let me see. I only have two, two ISOs. You ready for the ISOs? Yeah, I'm ready. Why? Hmm? Okay, not very exciting. There's this one. We have the technology. Ah, come on. Come on. Oh God. Alright, do better! Do better for me! I know I can't do better, but I have something that might be better. Here we go. You only have one, I guess. You have one? Yes. Oh, gee. Okay, here we go. It's just unnecessary and disrespectful, I think. Ah, no. I think mine is better. Which one? The Berks one. Oh, it's Berks, huh? Yeah, that's Berks. Yeah, here it is. We have the technology. I mean, at least it's something. Yeah, it's good.

3:10:55 And now, John C. Dvorak with the tip of the day. The jingles are a bit lacking. Yeah, yeah. You have to do a tip once in a while, but I do have one. Yeah, I'll do a tip. I will do a tip next show. Next show. Next show, but I have zero Adam Curry tips. Jingles, but here's a product tip for people who want to do think people are stealing from them Mm-hmm.
