EULA for Ukraine

00:00 goes back and forth, and back and forth, and back and forth. Then it goes to Canada, back and forth, then to Mexico, back and forth, then a car comes out. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday March 6 2025 this year award winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination episode 1744! This is no agenda Without a mo to come up decency! And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're all saying Democrats free Wendy Williams. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot & Buzzkill... Is she locked up? Oh yeah she's been locked up for awhile. But not-I thought she was in the loony bin

00:46 No, she's actually just kind of locked up with a conservatorship of some sort. Oh yeah? She's not well! The woman is not well! Well they figure there are couple things going on... One is that she had dementia but they misdiagnosed it as an alcohol related dementia that would cure itself after you dry out That would be one thing as opposed to what they said she has and so it's a big controversy. What you're doing... Big controversy! Well, it is amongst the people that... Oh boy. What you're doing now is called engagement farming

01:27 I heard that too. That term, engagement farming... I love this term! Yeah, I saw that term today. Engagement farming means you're fishing? Like, I'm engagement farming for who to what?! The idea is if she gets back on the air show, plug the No Agenda Show. Yes we are engagement farmers is what we are. Hey! Hey, I am an engagment farmer here in Texas how ya doing California I heard of that Joe Rogan show. All right, everyone's tuning in they want to hear our take that's what we did what's their take? What do the boys think well first we need to understand and of course i'm speaking of the joint uh this what is it it wasn't state of the union a speech joint session It was a talk! Well you were right about one thing and of course we'd forgotten that this that the speech was coming up

02:23 On Tuesday on Sunday you said don't worry Trump will say something and everyone will forget whatever we whatever we were supposed to remember Let's see what the American people thought of this speech CNN give us the numbers to the results What was your reaction in Trump speech? 44% of speech watchers in our instant poll tonight say they had a very positive reaction to Trump speech 25 percent somewhat positive 31 percent negative Sounds like 69% liked it. I enjoyed it, It was a little long...I mentioned the newsletter and thought it was over two hours but it's only 90 minutes, 90 plus minutes. So we had to make that correction because you have to make corrections on everything. Oh yes when your engagement farming you have to be on point Yes And I don't have a clip of it but he did mention the ships He didn't say big beautiful ships That was a little disappointing

01:27 I heard that too. That term, engagement farming... I love this term! Yeah, I saw that term today. Engagement farming means you're fishing? Like, I'm engagement farming for who to what?! The idea is if she gets back on the air show, plug the No Agenda Show. Yes we are engagement farmers is what we are. Hey! Hey, I am an engagment farmer here in Texas how ya doing California I heard of that Joe Rogan show. All right, everyone's tuning in they want to hear our take that's what we did what's their take? What do the boys think well first we need to understand and of course i'm speaking of the joint uh this what is it it wasn't state of the union a speech joint session It was a talk! Well you were right about one thing and of course we'd forgotten that this that the speech was coming up

02:23 On Tuesday on Sunday you said don't worry Trump will say something and everyone will forget whatever we whatever we were supposed to remember Let's see what the American people thought of this speech CNN give us the numbers to the results What was your reaction in Trump speech? 44% of speech watchers in our instant poll tonight say they had a very positive reaction to Trump speech 25 percent somewhat positive 31 percent negative Sounds like 69% liked it. I enjoyed it, It was a little long...I mentioned the newsletter and thought it was over two hours but it's only 90 minutes, 90 plus minutes. So we had to make that correction because you have to make corrections on everything. Oh yes when your engagement farming you have to be on point Yes And I don't have a clip of it but he did mention the ships He didn't say big beautiful ships That was a little disappointing

03:23 But he did mention bringing the shipping industry back to America. We're gonna make ships, ships everywhere? I love my ships. Ships! James Carville went back to one of his old analyses of the president which i always find incredibly entertaining specifically when we can understand what James Carville is saying because it's hard to get a clip of him that's legible these days but here he is. Maybe I'll get a point Considerably earlier than this, when I pointed out on this very channel what Trump had red splotches of her hand on his hand which I was told by any number of medical professionals that when you see that condition the first thing that you suspect is syphilis.

04:13 We don't. Nothing beats Carville's analysis, man. Syphilis! I did not hear this clip. Oh it was good. It was good yeah of course what everybody in the space everyone in the podcast space they're all saying they're calling for Nicole Wallace to resign! Resign she must this woman is horrible there's a horrible person And I figured you figured that I'd have the clip. You know, there were two clips that they especially Fox's beat the death. One was a mad hour with the other one. Yeah I left her out. She was hopeless and then Nicole Wallace who seems to...I think she senile or something is wrong with her and so she comes off with this kind of cold-blooded analysis of the poor little kid, the poor cancer kid which by the way I need to set it up in America

05:17 We are the land of Jerry's kids. When you put a kid on television who has either got leg braces and crutches or, you know, has brain cancer 13 operations we come together as Americans! This is our tradition. What we do! Make-A-Wish Foundation, this is what we do So this was an obvious one it was a honeypot It was so obvious and Nicole Wallace... In fact the whole speech Was a trolling honey pot It was and it worked. It worked very well, let's listen to Nicole So let's just stick with DJ I mean i think that if there was a moment where your whole body could relax and you could celebrate someone...it was the 13 year old cancer survivor who would like to be a police officer ummm..it was a genuinely beautiful moment in the-in the moment that probably was most familiar to the state of the union addresses we were both apart of

06:15 The problem is in the beauty of that child, is the tragedy of the Trump presidency. We don't know how he survived pediatric cancer but it's likely he benefited from some sort of cancer research and it is a fact that Trump has slashed cancer research It's a fact by eliminating NIH and all the cuts Pediatric cancer trials are halted And God willing He won't need any more treatment But if he does I hope that NIH wasn't responsible for anything that let him live this long. So first she is able to twist this into Trump's going to kill this boy That's almost like saying Jerry Lewis is gonna kill the kid, you know? It's like nooo...you just don't do that but then she took it to an extreme I think this was a lesson in finding one thing that-that you let yourself feel and I've let myself feel joy about DJ and I hope he's

07:12 alive for another, you know 95 years right and I hope he lives And the life he wants to live it wants to be a cop He knows what he wants to do and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you? And I hope he has a long life as law enforcement officer but I hope he never has to defend the United States Capitol against Donald Trump supporters. And if he does I hope he isn't one of the six who loses his life to suicide. And, I hope he isn't one who has to testify against the people who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then lived to see Donald Trump pardon those people." So now, of course a lot...a lot of people had all kinds of... Yes! I know it's enough to make you cough along up. Unbelievable

07:56 And you know, she may have sounded a little slurry. She might have been hitting the sauce a bit whatever was happening when I and I think the main point here is that it seemingly was kind of hard to see from all the shots but didn't look like any of the Democrats stood up and applauded the kid. you know, became a Secret Service agent and he jumps and he hugs the head of the Secret Service. I mean how could your heart just not go...I'm crying on the couch! It was so beautiful it was Jerry's kids to an extreme well done Mr President that typically brings us all together now in these

08:35 in these joint sessions, when it was Biden, when is Obama? You know the Republicans wouldn't cheer and wouldn't clap. And Marjorie Taylor Greene like you're a liar! I mean we saw all of the same things but when it came to this one specific in issue with the kid. And you know, the Democrats were holding up ping pong paddles and it was the most pathetic display but after watching that speech How the Democrats responded in that very moment, all the rest is it's all political. It's fine I get it and Nicole Wallace's reaction to the 13 year old DJ one must conclude we don't have a political problem in our country We have a spiritual problem

09:24 As President Trump is bringing light into the world, he is despised by those who love the darkness. And they are afraid of this light because they know it will eventually expose their evil ways This was not political! This is a dark spiritual force that has come over this entire party and they need like an exorcism or something They really do It's sad for them. They cannot bring themselves into any modicum of decency, as I kept hearing over and over today on the channels—a modicum of decency. Well, here is the problem…I've been trying to figure out what is going on here and I think a lot of it has to do with repeated speech.

10:14 I'm putting the onus on, the entire thing on Chuck Schumer. And i'll tell you why... The first time this just started showing up on Twitter First it was Schu- I had to have two clips And I don't have the exact that just a one clip of one of these people, but this is a clip of Schumer and Warren and Hakeem all giving the exact same speech with the exact same punchline. This was it started with two then it went to five then it went to twelve Then it went to 23 senators

10:55 Yes, and I have the three talking over each other we can play that but then I want to play Stephen a Smith's bitching about this yes And I was and I will have to say and this is related because I watch Stewart's John Stewart's monologues on Mondays because he's actually for a lefty funny It's very good stuff. But he has been accusing Schumer of being the voice of the Democrat Party in a very negative way, and he keeps doing it and I just... dawned on me that Schumer is the one behind this now you have to remember that this particular speech Elon Musk came out says I will give us a Tesla- A Cybertruck! A Cybertruck! To whoever wrote this speech Well you better open up the garage door

11:43 Because you're about to reveal it. It's just so everyone understands if you didn't see it, these are the three videos next to each other with the exact same script almost in the same cadence and timing. I think we get the idea. Well, you gotta play the end part because it's the end that makes it work Okay...I'll just jump ahead here

12:35 Must do in order to make money and love others are taking away vital services from the people you so they can bring tax breaks for billionaires like them. The Republican plan is simple, families lose well billions win and that is the truth. And that is the truth. So they all say that at the end, so this turns out that they played this and it's floating around Twitter and then more came in there all using the exact same script with them That Is The Truth and this...and Bob let me play the rant from Stephen A Smith here about it because it's kind of funny but then I have some comments Now you see why Stephen a Smith was in the polls as a presidential candidate? See what I'm talking about

13:24 You see that idiocy right there? people being tone deaf. Why the hell would 22 Democratic senators be literally echoing the same thing and think that would resonate with the American people? All it shows is that the same fabric of our democracy is unchanging in the eyes of some of these officials, and as a result, the constituency they represent which is why Donald Trump is in office! What, do I have to come up to Capitol Hill and give you lessons? Seriously. You don't get it? Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Chuck Schumer! Let's all get together let's put this in a prompter and altogether albeit in separate rooms we'll grab a microphone and say the same damn thing and that what going resonate with the American people

14:22 And then you wonder why you're no longer in power. You wonder why Trump is in the White House." He may need to switch to decaf, his voice is kind of getting a little out of control. So here's what I'm thinking... Yeah? Schumer- this was Schumer's idea and the idea having 22 people or more who knows how many really We're gonna flood the zone! We're gonna flood the zone people I think there's a thought that, look this will get us some publicity because people are gonna notice that we're all saying the exact same thing but they will listen to the message and believe it. And this is what I'm telling you, this is kind of thinking you can imagine somebody doing who thinks they know how to do publicity and he's...I'm totally convinced he was behind the

15:11 the way the Democrats acted at the speech because Hakeem Jeffries told his contingency, the members of the House not to do anything. Right let alone bring up signs and do all that other stuff that's all Schumer and Pelosi probably would gave it the go-ahead too she still kind of running think somebody pointed out that when they hauled out Al Green? The couple of the guards kept Going to Pelosi to get the okay. Oh really? Joey this was shown this morning They had this clip of it what if you have to get the okay from her even though she's not the sergeant-at-arms or Yes, or anything hmm they were just making sure that he was okay with her I just thought it was cool She was chewing her cud that look like awesome ridiculous so I think so this has to be and it was a

16:04 Schumer and Pelosi and Obama behind the ousting of Biden, they're really running the party. And they're responsible for all of this. And Schumer I think is the key element. And Schumer's the one who has to because I think he's the first one that gives a stupid speech that everybody else copied. But it's like ludicrous to let Schumer do anything, this guy is not any good at anything! He's got no dynamics he wants to be the voice of the party I think maybe you're wanting him to run for president? Oh yeah well remember he was the kingmaker for Anthony Weiner that was his boy

16:43 Yes, good point. Shows you his level of understanding and insight So this is like really stinks of Schumer Well, I think you should get the Cybertruck. I mean...I don't know if it's proven- I didn't write this speech! It was whoever wrote the speech! I should get the Cybertruck. That is just what i need. You know? Yeah yeah oh wow I can just see you tooling around the Bay Area in a cybertruck what a sight that would be yeah hey girls beep beep John C. Dvorak, surely you've heard of me? Friends with Elon. You know who I am?! Well what I thought would be an interesting way to just look back at some points from the speech is to play the Midas Touch analysis Remember Midas Touch is the new platform where everybody gets their opinions from on the left

17:40 This video has already 2 million views on YouTube. So it qualifies as M5M and you start to understand the way, and it's always the same guy as Ben or Brandon or there are three of them. It is always the same guy in a disheveled T-shirt just head and shoulders with a big RE320 in his face He's like, okay. Yeah great podcast and he keeps saying play cut 21 he uses the cut cut 21 so what do you got 21 thinks? He's a broadcaster So but I thought it was interesting because you can see how that how What everyone saw is twisted

18:23 and how people will take this for truth. And I completely understand why they do that. This is the starting with the achievements Trump didn't do cut one. So we're not even halfway through Donald Trump's joint address to Congress, it's all already off the rails in one of the worst speeches I've ever seen. We are not broadcasting it live because i don't need to show Trump propaganda, I want to show you the low lights however in summary fashion. He's setting it up for us so this propaganda its low light is off the rails is no good! We're only halfway through all do a full review of what went down but here's what's happening so far Donald Trump

19:05 the Democrats for not applauding him for achievements that he did not actually do, but he's upset that they're not applauding him for hypothetical achievements. Play this clip. If such speech to Congress and once again I look at the Democrats in front of me and I realize there is absolutely nothing I can say to make them happy or to make them stand or smile or applaud nothing I can do I could find a cure to the most devastating disease, a disease that would wipe out entire nations. And I had to think about this one because I realized he's talking about the COVID vaccine

19:48 I didn't realize it at the time, like what is he talking about? Is that a cure for cancer but i realized now he's talking about warp speed and that the vaccine saved everybody. So it isn't achievement he believes he achieved or announced the answers to the greatest economy in history or the stoppage of crime to the lowest levels ever recorded And these people sitting right here will not clap, will not stand and certainly will not cheer for these astronomical achievements. They won't do it." Which was an interesting way of him doing his narcissist bit because he always talks about how great he is the greatest economy...and this was a kind of an interesting way of doing like these people won't clap for my achievements

20:36 And now we go into the gold card, even though it's a program that has existed for many years at a lower price. At a lower price than a lowered price jacked the price up and it exists in many other countries around the world is just as horrible. Then Donald Trump brags about the gold card that he is introducing that he's selling for five million dollars where Russian oligarchs and Chinese oligarchs can purchase citizenship in the United States here play this clip. With that goal in mind, we have developed in great detail what we are calling the gold card which goes on sale very very soon. For five million dollars We will allow the most successful job creating people from all over the world to buy a path to US citizenship It's like the green card but better and more sophisticated More sophisticated You also get access to all of the club lounges at the airport

21:40 And these people will have to pay tax in our country. They won't have to pay tax from where they came, the money that they've made you wouldn't want to do that but they'll have to pay tax create jobs. They'll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so we can keep them in our country instead of having them being forced out number one at the top school as an example being forced out not being allowed to stay and create tremendous numbers of jobs and great success for a company out there so well we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers. So you know an outfit like Midas touch by the way Midas everything he touched turned to gold just saying yeah but spelled differently what's the point of that? That their last name is Midass or whatever but this is this is so poorly understood well of course a Marxist socialist

22:35 Anarchists to some degree, movement would not understand this concept but we're always selling stuff. That's what we do just like Jerry's kids with the DJ This is our American culture It's good to see it back I don't think everyone can get back on board unfortunately But it's always been fun and kind of endearing And so now we move to the eggs. Then Donald Trump blames the surging prices of groceries and surging prices of eggs, the surging inflation and the terrible economy right now in the markets crashing. Crashing! He blames it all on- Is the market crashing? I just want understand is the market- is the economy horrible? No. Is the market crashing?

23:17 No, not that I can tell. He blames it all on former President Biden you can hear the audible groans in the crowd let's play it Joe Biden especially let the price of eggs get out of control! The egg prices out of control And we're working hard to get it back down, Secretary. Do a good job on that you inherited a total mess from the previous administration do a good job I actually have a clip from the agriculture secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins would you like to hear her plan to bring down the price of eggs?

23:55 The plan is just wait for the chickens to develop so they can lay eggs. It's a five point plan, man! Can we just jump right in on the price of eggs? Please. Okay so here we go. The first thing I think is important to note it's a lot more... We rolled a plan out last week raising chickens in the backyard is something that Democrats sort of gleamed onto that was sort of an aside that certainly if anyone wants to do that that's not a bad idea but At the end of the day, we had a pretty massive five-point plan. I was one week on the job this problem started years ago under Joe Biden our five point plan was almost $1 billion 500 million dollars for biosecurity to lock the barns down number two how we get the repopulated flocks back after Joe Biden

24:41 all And number five, the longer term plan was putting some good money into vaccine and therapeutic research. The vaccines are not ready yet a lot of people wanted us to move vaccines out right away but we just didn't believe it was the right time not enough research had been done and we need to ensure that will actually help the problem not make the virus stronger and jump to other species so that's the five point plan

25:22 So they have a plan. Importing eggs from Turkey, which doesn't... Sounds like a lousy plan! Yeah I'm not all... A billion dollars being spent? We don't need to do that. No no. I agree. Why Turkey? I mean why import German? He has great eggs every time we've gone there Don't we have emus here can we get some emu eggs? Nobody wants it believe me. You want an emu egg Have you ever eaten the emu egg No, but I have had an ostrich. Yeah it's about the same size as big. It has a big giant yolk yeah The yolk is bigger than anything. It's creepy, and it's about a dozen eggs in reality and they make good omelets. They make great omelets! All these crazy eggs including duck eggs which are really not edible... Duck eggs are too tough when you try to eat them. I don't like them but you know- But in a baked good dynamite. Yeah we can get it eaten start eating emu eggs

26:21 And you get insurance at the same time, only in America by the way. I will say that Tina went to Costco 24 eggs $8 and 35 cents so that seems cheaper than the norm. Yeah it's pretty good when you go to Costco is not the tip of the day but it is a tip for today is get those blue eggs when they have them oh yeah they're good Two more clips here. The LGBTQI plus was next on the menu, then Donald Trump mentions an African nation and the word trans and Republicans find this to be hilarious play this clip. $8 million to promote LGBTQ I plus in the African nation of Lesotho which nobody has ever heard

27:15 $60 million for indigenous peoples and Afro-Colombian empowerment in Central America. $60 million, eight million dollars for making mice transgender. This is real! That was a good bit. They'd always score, these are good bits and then finally the real kicker... The funny thing about the transgender mice thing is I think it was USA Today or one of the fact-checkers they said it was bullcrap but without even looking into it because it's not that actually wasn't grant yeah I'm sure there is transgender mice It's all minor money in the big scheme but it hits home

28:01 People can't count. Like, oh that's crazy! I think eight million or six million dollars is a good amount of money to counter nuts not chicken feed No Yes chicken feed when you compare it to a trillion but yes And then finally, and this was the big one. This is also what spurred on Al Green. This is the Social Security Medicaid all the cuts doge. Donald Trump lies and says that he's found probable fraud in these social security system which is basically just code for they're going after your social security just as they're going after your medicaid and clip

28:40 in other videos that I've done where Elon Musk, who you just saw get the standing ovation. Who's basically running the government says that social security is one massive fraud, one big Ponzi scheme so when they're saying that there's basically saying they're going to get rid of Social Security here play this clip. This is what the Midas touch does tell you it's code, this code that what they're doing coming after your social security. Dog whistles! That's the same as dog whistles yes it's dog whistles but it's destructive because people oh he's talking in codes these coming after my social... It is very destructive this sort of thing should not be on aired no but it is. Identifying shocking levels of incompetence and probable fraud and the Social Security program for our seniors and that our seniors

29:29 and people that we love rely on. Believe it or not, government. Now they're already targeting about 7000 or so social security administration workers to be fired. They are shutting down social security offices I saw one individual 80 years old she called the Social Security Administration today for applications and they said the wait time is somewhere in the range of 200-300 days based on staff reductions I'll do a whole other video of that in the morning. But this was, so I believe that besides the transgender hill that the Democrats want to die on. This is their strategy. Their strategy is to say the Republicans are going to cut Medicaid, cut Social Security they're horrible people you must go out on the street You must protest! You must be in their face everything you need to do and this is why Al Green stood up and here he is post his removal from the joint session So what were you shouting to the president?

30:31 The president said he had a mandate, and I was making it clear to the president that he has no mandate to cut Medicaid. I have people who are very fearful. These are poor people and they have only Medicaid in their lives when it comes And I want him to know that his budget calls for deep cuts in Medicaid. He needs to save Medicaid, protect it. We need to raise the cap on Social Security as a possibility and it's going to be hurt and we got to protect Medicare. These are the safety net programs that people in my congressional district depend on.

31:08 And this president seems to care less about them and more about the number of people that he can remove from the various programs that have been so helpful to so many people. So, these are lies. These are lies and I had to do a deep dive and get the truth because no one actually seems to be telling anyone, broadcasting anywhere what is really happening And it's quite simple...I just like to run through it This bill from the 118th Congress, it's from the previous administration actually states that roughly $750 billion in total was paid out improperly between 2021 and 2023. That's a lot of money in two years! About 9% of those improper payments were Medicaid that's about 67 and 1⁄2 billion dollars

32:04 or 22.5 billion per year this means according to this bill that money was paid to fraudulent claims, or they continue paying the person after they're no longer eligible so step one and this is again from the previous Congress stopping those payments and reduce the budget to account for the reduction step two They want states to have more control over how their Medicaid programs are set up. It means the states have to kick in a portion of the funding, which is why you get a lot of pushback from their state revenues based on their individual needs. States would be required to more strictly audit the Medicaid systems on an annual basis in order to reduce the amount fraudulent claims and improper payments. So far we've cut nothing except for going after fraud. And then step three work requirements this is a big one

32:53 And there's a lot of ladies on the TikTok complaining about this. In the bill it claims that about 25% of Americans receive Medicaid because Medicaid eligibility is determined by disability or income level. Many Medicaid recipients are completely able-bodied, the budget proposal that came in during Biden required able bodied adults without dependents to work engage in community service or participate in a work training program for at least 80 hours per month to remain eligible for Medicaid So, all of this was the budget levels for throughout fiscal year 2034 and again was proposed in the House under Joe Biden. Now the new house budget for the 119th Congress does not specifically mention Medicaid though everyone's all on a tizzy because it directs the House Committee on Energy and Commerce which oversees Medicaid to submit changes in laws within its jurisdiction

33:51 to reduce the deficit by no less than $880 billion. But this is for the next 10 years, it's 88 billion per year not 880 billion because you know everyone's conflating this 800 roughly 800 billion dollar number with oh that's all of Medicaid! So it's 88 billion per year 23 billion of which will already be achieved if improper payments are stopped. So it's really a complete canard, farce and wet fart what they're doing here but no one takes the time to just explain it for two seconds. Why?

34:30 I guess... Why would you do that? You want to get people worked up till they listen more. What am i thinking?! I'm so wrong! Clickbait! Engagement farming, yes this is what it is So the whole thing is just dumb But otherwise, I have to say Sir Mark Hall was here with us. He stayed... we went to an event at the Patriot Academy and he stayed overnight so we watched the speech together. And he's from Houston! He's like oh Al Green is the most corrupt politician there is. Everybody in Houston despises him. Like well how come he keeps getting re-elected? I haven't gotten that answer yet. Must be the corruption. I don't know. Yeah sure it is

35:13 But it's so, you know go and tell your friends and family who are all spun up over this that it is nothing. There's literally nothing. It is finding the so-called waste frauds and abuse which is not that hard to find when you dig into it The problem is there may be some back end deals that some people don't want us to find out about That's...no..that IS the problem That is the problem And, yeah. I did like the one bit...I don't know if you had the clip of it where he calls out... Pocahontas. As Pocahontas in front of everyone. Let me see if I... She actually responded to it quite, I thought, jocularly she was clapping and laughing Well her head was shaking a bit

36:02 You know, it's like she had a bit like kind of a little bit of Parkinson's shake there. I don't know if that's just something that she has or... It could be. Yeah yeah She might have some issues Where was Clarence Thomas though? I missed him he wasn't sitting with the Supreme Court judges Should we be concerned He may not have shown up Yeah i'm just wondering if we should be concerned you don't have to go to these things Well everyone else went! Was a good party Could be clapping and hooting and hollering Or like those guys who have to sit there the whole time Don't crack a smile. Also the Joint Chiefs, all the military guys are sitting there same thing dour except when they announced the cop or something they had Dale stood up for that one police guy and that was the end of it

36:47 That was kind of odd. Anyway, it gave everybody a few more days or something to talk about so President Trump will have to do something quick before Sunday's show. Yeah I think he'll probably do something tomorrow but the thing that's interesting to me is that they let him go on for 90 minutes this was a promotional speech where the networks all played it and PBS played A number of cable networks played it. They all play it, actually the cable networks and news networks played it. Yeah which is free airtime baby! It's perfect. I mean I think Trump knows this he saw it he says look... He said LOOK!

37:26 We're gonna, you know... because it's not the State of the Union even though some people said it was. It wasn't! It was not this state of the union speech which they will carry This is just a bonus speech that he figures if they're gonna all put me on the air for 90 minutes I'm good with it But it's not even The Constitution doesn't even call for a state of the union No, no the whole thing is bullcrap. Yeah but who started that? Because it used to be just a letter! The president would just send a letter to everybody like yeah things are doing okay or and things are not going okay... Yes this is true in the 1800's it was just a letter because once TV came into play Here, the President shall from time to time give the Congress information Oh, time-to-time which means what? Prime Time It means prime time. Prime Time Network TV It does say I stand corrected

38:19 give the Congress information of the State of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient." So it is called specifically, The State Of The Union. But that's just more a form of expression I think it's not like, THE STATE OF THE UNION! It could be a letter you know they could go do that but no why what who in there right as president Who in their right mind doesn't want to get up there and start bragging about what they did to the entire public with the networks that cut them right into prime time? I mean, Trump does it right. He starts at six o'clock West Coast Time. Yeah. I mean come on! It was in fact a Democrat president Woodrow Wilson who started the speech. The speech thing. Oh he did probably for radio Yes

39:12 Yeah, so he started that. Once mass communications came into play things changed But it was a little confusing for the networks because they didn't know if they needed the drums you know boom-boom-boom-boom straight up in your ear boom-boom-boom-boom They didn't know what to do with it like I don't know what's going on? No idea but he ran over and I said I saw The Times that were allotted and they ran over until every bunch of primetime shows And they still carried it and everybody was live afterwards with their analysis Yeah! And boy the best one was Capehart Oh, do you have him? The OK part. On PBS... oh my god was he- Do you have it? Do you have a clip? No I don't because it's the visual! The pursed lips, the look of scorn It was just dynamite He was just beside himself I think the real action though this week for my money Was Europe

40:11 I mean that's where the real action is taking place. I have two identical clips from France 24 and Deutsche Welle, and then i'd like to play the clips of what Ursula, Queen Ursula actually said Because there's action taking place and it's going to impact a lot of things. Here is just 30 seconds, France Vincatra. Meanwhile the European Union Commission Chief has presented a plan to mobilize 800 billion euros for European defense Let us hear what Ursula von der Leyen had to say Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities

40:48 Rearmed Europe could mobilize close to 800 billion euros of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe. We will, of course continue working closely with our partners in NATO this is a moment for Europe and we are ready to step up. So that was the French connection, Deutsche Welle very similar European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says Europe is ready to massively boost its defense spending and take responsibility for European security she has proposed a five-part plan to mobilize some 800 billion euros for defense and pledged immediate military support for Ukraine after the US paused aid to the country here's what she's been saying

41:32 Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities. Rearmed Europe could mobilize close to 800 billion euros of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe We will, of course continue working closely with our partners in NATO This is a moment for Europe and we are ready to step up. So exactly the same, but they are not informing their constituents, their viewers, their people of Europe. They're not telling them what the actual plan is so those of you in the European Union which is not the same as Europe and you're not yet the United States of Europe

42:17 Allow me to run through the five-point plan that Queen Ursula actually unveiled. Now, there are five points to this plan The first part of this Rearm Europe Plan is to unleash the use of public funding and defense on the national level. That's your money Europe! Member states are ready to invest more in their own security if they have this fiscal space. Fiscal space means borrowing so we must enable them to do so and this is why Why we will propose to activate the National Escape Clause of the Stability and Growth Pact. This is where red flags went off for me, the National Escape Clause? The General Escape Clause? The escape clause?

43:06 So I go looking at the Stability and Growth Pact, which is this document that I think started in 1999. And they keep upgrading it! And during COVID they entered this escape clause which means if there's anything that threatens the existence of the EU, the existence of the Europeans like COVID... It even says it specifically like COVID Then we can use the escape clause which means everybody can go spend whatever they want, borrow all the money. Let's go-go-go and that is what she is activating here. This will allow member states to significantly increase their defence expenditures without triggering excessive deficit procedure. So if... The Europeans aren't allowed to borrow? They cannot have deficits upto some certain level

44:00 But now you can! So, she's taking away the rules now and this is interesting to do because in the United States we can borrow money because we print our money. Everybody uses our money it's not exactly the same with the euro It's a little different when you don't have the reserve currency of the world so that's for the next four years We need some money right now Queen Ursula Zelensky wants it

44:41 The second proposal will be a new instrument. It will provide 150 billion euros of loans to member states for defence investment. This is about basically spending better and spending together And we're talking about spending better and spending together. That's it being capability ending better By borrowing a hundred fifty billion to buy bombs Oh, yeah in about pan-european capabilities domains like for example air and missile defense the artillery systems missiles and ammunition drones and anti drone systems

45:22 but also to address other needs from cyber to military mobility for example. This will help member states... Military mobility is code for your kids on the front line, I believe But also to address other needs from cyber to military mobility for example this will help member states pool demand and to buy together. And of course, with this equipment member states can massively step up their support to Ukraine so immediate military equipment for Ukraine. This approach of joint procurement will also reduce costs

46:01 it will reduce fragmentation but it will increase... It'll reduce costs! How does it reduce cost when you just borrowed 150 billion to buy something that you blow up? Yeah, well, it's reducing costs. ...support to Ukraine so immediate military equipment for Ukraine this approach of joint procurement will also reduce costs it will reduce fragmentation but it will increase interoperability and of course strengthen our defence industrial base. And it can be to the benefit of Ukraine as I've just described So this is Europe's moment, and we must live up to it!

46:42 How do we really finance all of this? We need to get the banks and the rich families. War is a racket! This is beautiful, everybody with some money get ready you can make a tonne of dough on this The third point is using the power of the EU budget Yeah that by the way is absolutely your tax euros at work So they're centralizing everything in Brussels which has always been the plan She keeps conflating EU with Europe throughout this speech, you know. It's like well Europe-EU but it's all going to be controlled by Brussels. Brussels is going to control all of this procurement that are going to control the money flow which means you'll get federal EU taxes pretty soon to pay it all back and there's a lot we can do in this

47:28 domain in the short term to direct more funds towards defense related investments instead of schooling, housing food kids whatever and this is why I can announce that we will propose additional possibilities and incentives for member states that they will decide if they want to use cohesion policy programs to increase defense spending Now the last two areas of action aim at mobilizing private capital by accelerating the savings and investment union, and of course through the European Investment Bank. There it is everybody! Come on bankers! So to conclude Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities Rearm Europe could mobilize close to 800 billion euros

48:19 of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe. We will, of course continue working closely with our partners in NATO. This is the moment for Europe and we are ready to step up." Thank you very much. Friedrich Merz of the center-right CDU said 500 billion euros would be borrowed to fix infrastructure and that strict government debt rules could be eased, to increase the military budget. Merz's conservative bloc won February elections and are trying to form a government with the center left Social Democrats who came third. Merz said the measures were urgent in the wake of recent decisions made in the United States

49:21 I want to say this very clearly in view of the threats to our freedom and peace on our continent. The same must now apply to our defense." And then listen to the Danish Prime Minister. This woman's a ghoul! I don't think we should panic, but i think we are in a hurry and i think we have been in a hurry for three years but now we really have to scale up and speed up because Russia and Putin is not only threatening Ukraine but all of us and we have to be able to defend ourselves

50:03 My idea about Ukraine is the same as it has been now for three years that they have to win this war. And if we allow Russia to win the war, I'm sorry to say directly to all of you he will continue and they will continue and maybe we will even give them a better situation than today because If we end this war now, with some kind of a frozen conflict or ceasefire it will give Russia the possibility to return to Russia. To mobilize more funds and people and maybe attack another country in Europe So if...if we have peace now Russia's gonna go back regroup raise more money and come back and attack another European country It could be yours That makes nothing but sense These people are nuts

50:52 They are nuts. It's great! I have a couple of short anal clips about this... We gotta get away from them as fast as we can, I mean I think we've put up with it long enough Here is..I just want to do these quick ones and then i'll hand over to you Bob This is Andrew Rasoulis He's the former, actually identify him Former defense guy in Canada I like his analysis Andrew Rasoulis he's a fellow with on the ground. Well, it will make the Ukrainians think very clearly whether they wish to continue on the long war which is what Zelensky said today and this is what Trump is reacting to because Trump is saying no you're not going to fight a long war not with our aid that's why he's given the pause so the Ukrainians have to really think hard now

51:47 now, whether they will back down from their insistence on U.S. guarantees and insistence on fighting a long war with Russia until they get the just peace as they define it or they will back down allow Trump to negotiate a deal with Russia that Ukraine will side all up too. That's really what this has come down to now And of course, Ukraine really can't do anything without the US even if the European Union wrote a big check today. And how much does Ukraine rely on USAID? It's a 40% figure versus 60%, what others supply but in the 40% are critical American military assets

52:32 that no other country can substitute. For example, the long-range missiles that hit deep inside Russia... That's American controlled and American manufactured or they control the license for those." I like the...I keep hearing this, the license. Zelensky said in The Oval Office give us the license! Don't we just have a EULA for those guys? They just click OK and they're good to go. The data for those systems, that's GPS stuff that only the United States can approve so even if it's a British system or French system that's using American stuff to go in deep in Ukraine they can't do without American data So they control that

53:16 They essentially remove a fundamental offensive capability that the Ukrainians have. Yes, yes no data for you it's not going to work how about Russia? What is their response? How do you think Russia is reacting tonight I think they are probably guarded I've not seen any statements within the hour but they have been open-minded about Trump of some cautious optimism that this might actually bring the Ukrainians to the table under pressure, to negotiate an end of the war that's sooner rather than later with watered down expectations. The Ukrainians are going have to water down their ideas on how this war ends

54:11 And, you know obviously the European Union can't do it quick enough. The 150 billion they want to free up is certainly not enough for short term We didn't get this on the last show but it popped up and kind of popped up and went away But as it turns out President Zelensky's really in no position to negotiate mineral licenses at all with United States because he already promised preferential treatment to the United Kingdom three days before President Trump was inaugurated. This is...

54:46 retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer. Well, first off they've got to change the fact that on the 17th of January the British signed an agreement with Ukraine that have exclusive rights to those deals. Kirchner this is a battle of dueling narratives you can go check it out this is on the British UK website and talks about this 100 year Ukraine and UK signed a 100-year deal over security guarantees and economic development. So what happened is that I believe President Trump and his team found out that they were being played. So this has become a set of dueling narratives the BBC just said today there's massive protests here, Zach Andrews just said all the European leaders are behind Zelensky We are being played we United States Are trying to be signed up to a deal that we provide security guarantees

55:42 to a economic development deal that Kirstallmer has already signed them up to do. So I have this treaty, the one he says is right on the website which it is and just a couple highlights this for 100 years Treaty will bolster military collaboration on maritime security through a new framework to strengthen Baltic Sea Black Sea and Azov sea security and deter ongoing Russian aggression will bring together experts to advance scientific and technology partnerships, blah blah. The new UK built grain verification scheme will also be launched to track stolen grain from occupied Ukrainian territories." And then it has here... It also cements the U.K as a preferred partner for Ukraine's energy sector critical mineral strategy and green steel production

56:37 So when I read that, I think he doesn't have a position or maybe that's what President Trump meant by you don't have the cards. They can't even negotiate a minerals agreement with us they've already given given those the preferential treatment to the UK. And I think that explains Kiermer, Starmer's Kiermer... We'll call him Kiermer from now on. I like Kiermer. Yeah, Kiermer. Starmer speech that we played two shows ago where he you know came out and said we're gonna do boots on the ground if we're gonna give them planes and yes he's signed a deal Yeah, he went on and on and on about it. And it seemed like he was just full of it but if you with this in mind which nobody seems to have pointed out until now yeah we did they're full of it and I think it also explains what why Trump in fact that two clips at three oh but I have two clips on the factor this is the piece

57:34 and no more intel clip. This is when, you know I think once we find this stuff out this is what happens." The US has paused intelligence sharing with Ukraine a move that will limit Ukraine's ability to target Russian forces it follows Monday's pause on military aid Russia meanwhile said future talks with the US would include discussions on Iran's nuclear program. And today's international correspondent Malcolm Hudson has the story for us. CIA director John Ratcliffe on Wednesday said the U.S. has halted intelligence sharing with Ukraine, the move could seriously hamper the Ukrainian military's ability to target Russian forces. US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz told reporters Wednesday morning... We have taken a step back

58:19 and are pausing and reviewing all aspects of this relationship. Since the start of the war in 2022, the US has provided Ukraine with significant intelligence including critical information its military needs for targeting purposes Waltz also said the US was actively engaged in talks with Ukraine on a minerals deal and potential peace deal with Russia. I think we're going to see movement in very short order. Waltz, in an interview with Fox & Friends said President Trump will consider restoring military aid to Ukraine if peace talks are arranged and confidence-building measures are taken. Trump halted the aid on Monday

59:00 On Tuesday night, Trump said he had received a letter from Ukrainian President Zelensky that expressed willingness to come to the negotiating table. Waltz said officials were in discussions over a date location and negotiating team that would lead to an end to the war and are already talking about confidence building measures to then take to the Russians. So the president mentioned that in his speech that you know I got this letter from Zelensky courier pigeon dropped it off And then he's willing to come to the negotiating table. Is that with Russia or is that with just us? It was unclear to me. Well, this is hard to say because a bunch of reports came out this morning contradicting all that saying you know he still doesn't want to meet with us it doesn't want to do anything and I think a lot of it has to do with his minerals deal which was the screw job

59:52 And I think we're aware of it and you guys don't want to do this deal, you tried to trick us. You're not getting any more intel and now good luck targeting anything because you can't. And we're revoking your license! I guess all their work was, if it wasn't for us they wouldn't be able to hit the side of a barn I guess... We are handing an olive branch to them because we are allowing Neil Young in the Chrome Hearts to play a free concert in Ukraine. Oh that sounds perfect

1:00:29 The Kremlin on Wednesday said that future talks between Russia and the United States would include discussion on Iran's nuclear program, a subject spokesman Dmitry Peskov said had been touched upon in an initial round of US-Russia talks last month. Russia's position is that the issue of Iran's nuclear dossier needs to be solved only through political and diplomatic means In our view, there is potential for it. Trump last month restored his maximum pressure campaign on Iran which includes efforts to drive its oil exports down to zero in order to stop Tehran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Iran denies any such intention Russia has deepened its ties with the Islamic Republic since the start of the Ukraine war and signed a strategic cooperation treaty with Iran in January

1:01:23 So what do you think? I mean, it seems the Europeans they need the Russian bear. They need the enemy to... It's not about Russia! It's about them! They want to complete the European project. Can they find any other enemy besides adding us to the list maybe? Well, they're definitely irked with us Because they will not give up on this. I just don't see how they can do it They want to print money, they want to build their own stuff... They want to have their own army They wanna do everything that you know The Third Reich tried to do And its one thing to get Ukrainian young men and women To fight the Russians because there's some ideological history there But good luck getting the British kids to do it

1:02:12 Like, no I'm not going to do that. You'll have to conscript them just like Zelensky did you know rousting him from the street Yeah...I don't see it I don't either. It's not gonna be pleasant, they just think they can do it but these guys they're not elected they're not responsible they are living in their own world the vandal line is the best example of this yeah she thinks she you know is she really does think she's the queen yes and uh these edicts and all the rest of it is just It's a disaster and there is nothing we can do about it. I mean, well you know we don't want to... You know I get into arguments with people by well we should be NATO, NATO, NATO. With who? With who did you get in an argument? Oh different people but its like the pro-NATO people and its like NATO has long passed its prime

1:03:08 It's supposed to be a defensive operation when it doesn't seem to be and you know every time people bring that up in the conversation was Defensives for the defense. Well, then you tell explain Libya to me Libya was a NATO operation There was no defense involved Libya wasn't attacking anybody No. He just decided to get Gaddafi out of the way Well, he wanted that gold dinar Yeah it was a bit of a problem Yes that was an issue What kind of bubbles up which is not Of course no being explained to the American people Is we did all this We set all this up! We have been the bad actor And I'm glad... Yeah we set up the Maidan All of that stuff and the revolution in Ukraine Eventually we didn't put in

1:03:51 This Zelinsky character. He got in some other way some backdoor but we basically set the stage for him as it were a stage and you know Lindsey Graham was a part of that and and Of course McCain McCain Victoria Newland Brennan all of these ghouls were all over there doing the thing recently with Flynn Accusing Victoria Nuland being behind the assassination attempt on Trump? Yeah, I didn't even clip it. I've kind of lost my trust in General Flynn. I'm seeing too much on the money train for other things and... And I'm pretty sure he's launched some of those odd rumors about you know, The grid is going down! There won't be an election!

1:04:38 I'm very cautious with the general. I want to like it, but... The kid's going to EMP! Yeah, I'm very cautious with him. I'm not a fan at this moment No, but I thought that was amusing. Yeah there was-I do have a supercut Well before you play that let's play at least this other thing This is just the short version of what we just played This is the NPR's take on the Intel cutoff. This is called Ukraine War Intel Cutoff The administration has hit the pause button on sharing intelligence with Ukraine. And PR's Tom Bowman reports Kiev has relied heavily on Washington for intel since Russia's invasion of Ukraine more than three years ago. From the start of the war, the U.S. has provided Ukraine with key information about Russian troop locations, key targets that Ukraine can strike especially targets deep inside Russia

1:05:29 I was told early in the war, the U.S had more information on Kremlin orders to its ground forces than even Russian low-level commanders The US would use its formidable intelligence infrastructure you know satellites and aircraft to not only pick out targets but intercept communications from Russian forces I mean, this really was a proxy war. It was the globalist proxy war! It was our State Department... it was all the way up to the Biden administration and Obama administration… it was a proxy war! An ongoing proxy war against Russia and then the Europeans just as far as I can see they went, oh this is a good idea

1:06:10 We can get more power. This probably was the mistake, yeah we gave them some sort of confidence that they could do this Here's a supercut of some Democrats including Brennan, it's all MSNBC CNN talking about how Trump is bullying Zelensky and of course he's doing it on behalf of Putin. And as you know President Trump is Putin's puppet. Donald Trump and J.D. Vance and then Putin believe that they're going to intimidate and bully and threaten president Zelensky to join the club of corrupts and unprincipled leaders They will literally need to wait until hell freezes over twice

1:06:53 Because this is a man who is committed to the survival of his country. The propaganda's what coming out of J.D. Vance's mouth and it's Russian propaganda! I saw the meeting as a despicable display of bullying by the president It was vice-president Fance particularly, who was on the offense, who was berating President Zelensky. It is absolutely shameful what is happening right now The White House has become an arm of the Kremlin have never felt such shame about American policy before. I don't know how our allies trust us after this. Putin and his cronies are probably popping champagne bottles right now We have someone that is occupying the White House, and as far as i'm concerned he is an enemy to the United States

1:07:37 Oh yes, what you say about yourself people. That was Jasmine Crockett there at the end Yeah who wants to be president I guess We were kind of right though about the blue suit guy and you probably saw the messages The blue suit guy who President Trump went to twice and said that you had a second question yeah how come How come you're not wearing proper clothes in the Oval Office? You Ukraine boy! That is Brian Glenn of RSBN, Right Side Broadcasting Network. They are the Trump streaming system and she is Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. She? So that kind of makes sense he might have been a little bit in on the gambit. You think? Yeah! Might have been in on the gambit there so... The giveaway of course was Trump

1:08:32 Almost rolling his eyes and saying didn't you have another question? Yeah, can you get to the one we talked about earlier that we rehearsed Remember the table read come on man. Get get with the program Rubio though Holding up very well Have you said do you notice his ears now because Tina finally saw it has their ears are big he's got huge years He could fly off if you wanted to so Here's a little interlude between him and George Stephanopoulos over at the ABCs. Well, even some of your Republican allies are puzzled by the steps that President Trump has taken to placate Vladimir Putin. I want to bring up a post of Lisa Murkowski- Which ones? What steps has the president taken to placate? Let me show you what- Are we arming the Russians? And you respond to that. Are we providing economic assistance to the Russians? Have we given the Russians $180 billion dollars? Please let me ask you a question

1:09:25 This is Lisa Murkowski, and here's what she says. This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense and shocking conversation in the Oval Office, and whispers from the White House that they may try- Whispers? To end all US support for Ukraine. Whispers! I know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart but right now, I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin. Putin! A threat democracy and U.S values around the world those are not my words That's Senator Lisa Murkowski What's your response Well, you know yeah we're a free country people have a right to these opinions I would just say to you what have We done the placate the Russians? The only thing we've done is said are you guys willing to talk about peace. I say at the same point We're not giving that we haven't given voted with North Korea and Russia Russia and Belarus in the United Nations And against our Western allies no let me tell you all right so You know what do you not do you know what the United Nations resolution was obviously

1:10:18 I'll tell you if you want to hear what it was. It basically said this has been a horrible war, it's time for it to end the job of the UN is to bring about peace in the world. I thought that's what the UN was created to do! To stop wars and prevent them and thats what the resolution did Was it antagonistic towards the Russians? No Back to the point But it also didn't praise the Russian All its said is bad war needs to end lets bring the two sides together Go Marco! Yeah There was a couple of pieces I saw saying, oh Rubio is humiliated by the president at his speech. No! And it wasn't true. He was complimented he gave him the old... well if it doesn't go right we know who to blame which was interpreted as criticizing Rubio but Rubio who's

1:11:08 Who's, you know I think Vance is pretty good at defending the president but Rubio is really good because he's faster. He's a little more angry. Vance is never really angry he's always kind of jocular. He's got his smile on his face and he just thinks he's smarter than you are yeah yeah And so he goes in that direction as it kind of over educated type. Rubio is the pissed off Cuban And he goes after him and he's nasty. I like him! I think Rubio is vying for presidency Oh, he wants to run? Sure Yeah and that's a logical step go from Secretary of State But if nothing else he's going to be... If these if he doesn't blow up He's going to go down in history as I think or hope

1:11:55 As one of the better secretaries of states, it's a famous job. Yeah people who do well He would he would also be really good as the new Pope I think I'm gonna put him on the list Cut me off guard wait what's that latest update on the Pope? He's not well no, but it's not dead No, he's thanking supporters for prayers and in a recorded evening rosary It's not good. It's not good, it's not good. You're old! 88 doesn't seem old but if you're not well that's not great No if you get double pneumonia and have missing lung anyway from a childhood incident Oh I didn't know that He already has... Yeah he had part of his lung taken out so he is basically infirm in that regard That's not good I'm working on my predictions should the unfortunate thing happen And since you brought it up

1:12:48 Conclave won nothing. Nothing! No, it's...nothing! The Academy Awards were boring and uh... Well hold on a second I have to say that I made a very big mistake My wife Tina is still mad at me That I made her watch the whole thing And I kept saying no no it'll get good in a minute She says, it's always boring. You get the supporting actors first then blah blah blah two hours of nothing and then you get the best movie and best actors and she was right! And Conan he didn't do any fun skits or anything. It just wasn't great Bring back Billy Crystal only in presenting mode

1:13:36 That was fun. I thought Kalkan was funny. He also said, hey baby let's make more babies! That was cool that was very good and that was good for the public and it was good for the whole the feeling of having more babies, let's get more babies. But the rest of it was terrible and they got... especially when Adrian Brody came out and made him stop the band that were trying to play him off and he had a lecture us about othering and other crap about who nobody was talking about! Well there wasn't a lot of trans talk which I think probably says shh not too much trans stuff

1:14:21 And only Daryl Hannah came out into the Slava Ukraine. Way to go, Daryl Hannah! 19.6 million viewers though up slightly from last year. I think there were like 35 million or 75 so it was huge some huge number for the Trump speech. Oh that must have been big yeah must have been big but yeah...I found that the I didn't watch the whole cat I tried to record it at speed watch it and Couldn't what even I didn't watch the whole thing. I missed the dead part where everyone's dead. I don't know who Dead segment you couldn't see it yes, because they had it in You know in front of the orchestra pit It was a small circle and was like that it went by really quickly and Gene Hackman got like he did two movies bye gene

1:15:14 Really? Yes, well they brought out Morgan Freeman to start it off like he was a good guy. I loved him that was nice but then i expected a whole Gene Hackman package no none of that none of it And I'm a sucker for the dead segment. I liked the dead segment, it was not a good dead segment Most people liked the dead segment that they've been botching it recently So you don't know who sometimes you remember if couple years ago You couldn't see who the names were no same same this year It was hard to see he was way in the distance yet A wide shot of the whole stage and so people in the auditorium maybe had a decent view but now it was it was not good and they never went back to the gag of

1:16:01 What's his face with the dour look? Remember that opening gag? Go Lithgow at the beginning. Yeah, yeah! That was a good gag dude So there are no callbacks to that? No zero callbacks they should have done that at least three times No, it was poorly done. I forgot to look who directed it. Tina was mad. Well now I'm glad...I'm not going to go back and even check it out! Do not do that. I was gonna pull maybe a clip from Brody but I wouldn't even do that. And it started off kind of nice. What's her face the wicked wicked girl? She did nose ring. No no who is bald with nose? And you know she's gonna play Jesus and Jesus Christ. I love it That's no good that goes, that's no pack them in for heaven

1:16:52 of nose ring black bald woman play Jesus. That's hilarious Now what's her name? The other girl Ariana Grande Yeah she was good She can sing, but she is on the O-Wagon man She needs a cheeseburger That's what everyone says She already has thin waify type woman Why would she do that? She was more fun when she was licking donuts and putting them back on the tray But no Something happened during the production of Wicked and it turned everyone strange. And I don't think it got any awards except for set, set design maybe? Yeah, it didn't win anything. That's good. I did watch the light-hearted comedy with Kiernan Culkin... What was he called? A Real Pain. How is it? A cute movie. It's an actors' movie! He's kind of doing his thing very similar to what he did with Succession

1:17:53 Only he's a good actor. He deserves that award better than all the others I'm sure But we watched it was like yeah, it was alright. It wasn't you know? It doesn't is not an action movie There's no explosion and it plays its plays out in Poland Which is why comic strip blogger wanted it to win all these awards man poland is kind of dour I've never been to Poland, but it's all post-Soviet Russia kind of architecture. And then went through the concentration camp and yeah... It was alright. I do have three fun clips from one of the contenders to replace Justin Trudeau that is Chrystia Freeland

1:18:42 who we remember was behind the disrupting the trucker convoy, honk-honk. Yeah. Was behind seizing people's money during this protest and she is running as a liberal candidate for prime minister and she's off the rails! A few weeks ago in Saskatoon I met a four year old girl named Ari She asked me, can you stop Trump from invading Canada? So the four-year olds apparently are upset and afraid in Canada that Trump is going to invade Canada Ari is a smart girl and she's asking the right question. She's asking the right question What is this miss Freeland? Jeez

1:19:31 I'm running to be leader of the Liberal Party and the next Prime Minister of Canada. She's making this up. Four-year olds don't, this is not... No. Unless the parents said here's the question I'll write it out But even then to get a four year old to enunciate it like pulling teeth Yes no It's clearly a lie but for some reason she feels necessary to propagandize this. If she would have said six year old maybe or eight year old I could almost believe her but four years old

1:20:08 You know, I got a baby. A toddler she's bitching and moaning about Trump Are you telling me that politicians are liars? Gambling perhaps? As Trump is posing the gravest challenge our country has faced Gravest challenge our country has ever faced Canada! Really?! Canada! We love you Canada This is no good Since the second world war Since the second world war He's threatening us with economic warfare That's not new. Last time he threatened to rip up NAFTA and he imposed tariffs on our steel and aluminum. He did actually! I fought back, and I won. Did she win? She won what?! I don't know she won something... This time Trumps threats are even worse

1:21:01 She wants to make us the 51st state. Trump is unleashed and empowered as your Prime Minister, I will be too. I like that unleashed and empowered. And I like that. I have the experience The plan and the guts To stand up to Trump to tell him that Canada is not for sale and if he hits us We'll hit him back We need a leader who understands the seriousness of the challenge and is ready to meet it. A leader who can say to Ari, and everyone across our great country I will fight for you! I will fight for Canada And together we will win Well if she keeps this up they won't be the 51st state They'll be 52nd after we get Greenland

1:21:54 Here she is, more banter on the 51st state. We need to recognize President Trump has said dozens of times he wants us to be the 51st state I don't think any of us want to be a leader who was asleep at the wheel and didn't get Canada defended did not work with our democratic allies to protect our borders They want to work with us. It's time for us to step up at home, to urgently reach out to them and build a new world order where democracy and Canadian sovereignty is protected

1:22:29 Ah, she wants a new world order. Well that's just perfect and defend your borders because there are Americans ready to invade you Canada For the first time since the second World War rather than guaranteeing the rules-based order The US is turning predator And so what Canada needs to do is work closely with our democratic allies our military allies I've been foreign minister I know how to do that. That's why I would start with our Nordic partners, specifically Denmark which is also being threatened and our European NATO allies. I would be sure that France and Britain were there who possess nuclear weapons. And I would be working urgently with those partners to build a closer security relationship

1:23:15 that guarantees our security in a time when the United States can be a threat. And I would also crucially reach out to our Asian democratic partners, Japan, South Korea, Australia they need to be part of the conversation too we need to be ready for a world where the US is not the leader of the free world anymore. Canada can be and must be a leader in building this new order. Our allies are looking to us, and if we do this will make ourselves safer as well." So I want to hear from our Canadian producers... Canada Uber all of us! Is anyone buying this? Are you guys really buying this that the whole world is now going to... Is it Polyester or Polyvere whatever his name is... Polyvere, Polyvere, Polyvere He's just gonna win

1:24:06 I would hope so. The apple chewer! But this is sad, these politicians are making us out to be the bad guy because we want peace and we want equalize some stuff... I looked at some of the tariffs on Canadian podcasts and these guys are going hey, but we have a thousand percent tariff on American milk The tariffs on our dairy is unbelievable up there. And eggs and all kinds of stuff. It's like hundreds of percent. Well, we don't have any eggs so... No eggs for you! So it was like what is going on? This more than just anti-Trump. They're trying to build coalitions I don't think she can build anything but they're trying to try to build coalitions of some sort

1:24:59 She's just silly. Yeah, well I wonder if Canada is an interesting place you know there it's multiple communities...I wonder if the French Canadians are into this? Does she speak French? Christia? They all have to speak French if you're a politician in Canada. I have one quick that's kind of that weird flat French, I've won quick Trudeau clip just to wrap it up So today the United States launched a trade war against Canada war their closest partner and ally Their closest friend at the same time they're talking about working positively with Russia

1:25:39 appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying murderous dictator. Lying murderous dictator! Make that make sense Canadians are reasonable and we are polite but we will not back down from a fight Not when our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake That's war talk War talk? Oh it's tiring four more years Four more years Four more years. At least twice a week we're gonna get some action Yeah, I have two tariff clips which i think are worthwhile. I have one. I have the update clip on NPR Give us the update. What is it called? Tariff Update. Ah! Makes sense. There we go U.S automakers are breathing a sigh of relief after President Trump said he would give them a tariffs reprieve

1:26:32 Wall Street investors are apparently relieved as well. The Dow is up 485 points or more than 1% at 43,006. The S&P and the NASDAQ are also closing up 1% to nearly one and a half percent. And Piers Marie Aspen has more. President Trump is giving U.S. car companies one more month without his new tariffs He's imposed 25 percent taxes on goods imported from Mexico and Canada, but he told the big three automakers that they will be exempt until April 2nd The U.S. auto industry has been vocally opposed to Trump's tariffs. Car companies warn that they will create major disruptions to their North American supply chains, and analysts say the end result will be much higher prices for consumers. Shares of Ford GM and other car companies rose after plunging earlier this week

1:25:39 appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying murderous dictator. Lying murderous dictator! Make that make sense Canadians are reasonable and we are polite but we will not back down from a fight Not when our country and the well-being of everyone in it is at stake That's war talk War talk? Oh it's tiring four more years Four more years Four more years. At least twice a week we're gonna get some action Yeah, I have two tariff clips which i think are worthwhile. I have one. I have the update clip on NPR Give us the update. What is it called? Tariff Update. Ah! Makes sense. There we go U.S automakers are breathing a sigh of relief after President Trump said he would give them a tariffs reprieve

Car companies warn that they will create major disruptions to their North American supply chains, and analysts say the end result will be much higher prices for consumers. Shares of Ford GM and other car companies rose after plunging earlier this week

1:27:22 However, the reprieve is still only temporary. According to the White House Trump also warned automakers that they would need to start moving production to the United States. What's your analysis on this? Well, this is getting a little tiresome where you know I'm gonna do the tariffs to put it off for week. Oh put it off a month up with there You know these never gonna do the terror terrorists just to get these guys to move toward Getting some plants built here and I think that's gonna happen There's been some movement in that direction and Honda is going open a big plant. I understand in Indiana, Indiana according to his speech and

1:28:00 I think that they know what the real problem is. You can't really pull it off, you can do the tariffs because the parts are made here and they go across the border then they come back as a finished thing and it goes back-and-forth and back-and-forth and back-and-forth... Then it goes to Canada back-and-forth and then New Mexico back-and-forth in a car comes out! It's a nightmare the whole thing because of that agreement that was made So Canada and Mexico could do all this trading without worrying about it. And so they've set up shop, these car makers have set up shop in just a... It's borderline nuts!

1:28:41 I don't know what, and you know that. I think what he's trying to do is get this consolidated. It used to be for example when the old Rouge plant was... The Ford plant, the Rouge, their giant plan where they had raw minerals or raw materials coming in one end a steel mill made the steel. The parts were all made just as giant facility and it didn't go all over the place for a car to come out the other end. Do you think that the idea, and maybe this is just testing the markets? Okay if I do this if I say this then the markets go down isn't maybe ultimately oil has gone down I think it's 2% so there's some movement there to potentially lower energy costs could be all a big play to play the market so that interest rates start to come down or we might get a cut Is that something that could be part of this

1:29:33 this plan? Maybe, but I don't see a cut in any time in the near future. We're not going to get a cut of interest rates even though Trump made a statement that the interest rates have come down a little bit but not from the Federal Reserve Here's CBS on tariffs, which was decent. In public presidential tough talk is fueling the trade war. Whatever they tariff us other countries we will tariff them even though you're a very smart guy this is a very dumb thing to do

1:30:12 In private, administration officials are in constant contact with Canadian and Mexican counterparts. With Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick leading negotiations just hours after Canada retaliated with tariffs on US exports he was working the phones calling Canadian officials sources familiar with Lutnick's call with the Premier of Ontario Doug Ford describe it as aggressive and tough Lutnick told Ford to stand down. Not only did Ford refuse, he said if anything his province would go harder. To President Trump don't force our hand you underestimate Canadians are making a massive mistake

1:30:53 Yesterday, President Trump had a call with the big three U.S. automakers Ford's, Delantis and GM who have been pressuring him for carve out for vehicles built in Canada and Mexico this morning. Letnik said Trump was considering walking back tariffs on some sectors by this afternoon. The White House announced a one month exemption for cars and trucks Still, the White House press secretary says Trump is all in on his tariffs plan despite the risk of rising prices. And why should Americans be OK with that, when so many are already struggling to pay the bills? The American people elected this president to have monumental reform and change including rebuilding our manufacturing base in this country. Standing up for foreign nations who have been ripping off our country for decades and that requires a little bit of disruption. Maybe he's just using it as a trigger to get them to commit to building a plant

1:31:52 It's like, I'll do it. Watch! I'll do it. That may have just happened with the Mexican woman. That's what I'm thinking. Shinebomb or whatever her name is... We'll see. I mean this is becoming kind of comical seems to me Ronald Reagan had a very negative stance on tariffs which I didn't realize Did you know that? I don't remember if i know it or not. Well here's a minute-long speech from President Ronald Reagan about tariffs You see, at first when someone says let's impose tariffs on foreign imports It looks like they're doing the patriotic thing by protecting American products and jobs And sometimes for a short while it works but only for a short time

1:32:42 What eventually occurs is, first homegrown industries start relying on government protection in the form of high tariffs. They stop competing and stop making the innovative management and technological changes they need to succeed in world markets. And then while all this is going on something even worse occurs High tariffs inevitably lead to retaliation by foreign countries and the triggering of fierce trade wars. The result is more and more tariffs, higher and higher trade barriers in less and less competition So soon because the prices made artificially high by tariffs that subsidize inefficiency in poor management people stop buying Then the worst happens market shrink and collapse businesses and industry shut down And millions of people lose their jobs

1:33:30 The memory of all this occurring back in the 30s made me determined when I came to Washington, to spare the American people the protectionist legislation that destroys prosperity. Jefferson was one of the first guys who experimented with tariffs and it sunk the economy. Wait! I thought it was the other guy...the president who got assassinated that Trump always talks about? McKinley? McKinley, yeah. He was the tariff guy. No before McKinley Jefferson had this... Oh Jefferson! Yeah Jefferson was a little bit before McKinley yes. Yeah just a little bit. And he got him into trouble and other people have done well with it it's just that I think there is time in place I think it could be I don't know we'll find out but I agree with you it's a little tiresome like because what is this gonna pay off

1:34:25 Well, he's definitely trying to get people to start making stuff here. Yeah well we know we have the boot company We got a boot company out of it Well maybe Honda will build that plant Oh I think they'll build that and Apple will probably And TMS Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing TSMC is gonna drop a lot of money into something 120 billion? But there's a different reason for that I think they're afraid because there's little lax Yeah, the Chinese take over their plant in...because the Chinese can't build ships at all. It's a hedge for them. They can't design them or build them and so they love to take it. The reason you want to grab Taiwan is so that he grabbed that factory but by time it happens, they could have been moved out to a safe place

1:35:17 That guy who runs TSMC is pretty much similar to Jensen over at NVIDIA, an innovative Taiwanese character. Tried it was been trying to get a factory built here, but he finds American workers And there's some issues with they don't like to work or something. He's got some problems with American workers Yeah well That wouldn't surprise me They've had we've had it too good We need some pain and the president has promised us pain or a little disruption perhaps we're getting it that's for sure

1:36:01 Meanwhile, we're working on stuff like this. I got a few clips on this This is the woolly you've seen the wooly mouse Yeah, the wooly mammoth bull crap by the way. I'm totally convinced. This is good good good But but I like the story. This is the wooly mammoth Mouse Mouse. Scientists have created a mouse that looks like a much bigger extinct animal, the woolly mammoth. Researchers say their woolly mouse is an important step towards achieving their ultimate goal of bringing a woolly mammoth-like animal back from extinction

1:36:37 And PR science correspondent Rob Stein has more. Woolly mammoths were big shaggy elephants that roamed the tundra until going extinct thousands of years ago, a Texas biotech company called Colossal Biosciences wants to bring the mammoth back by genetically engineering modern day elephants to have key traits from the mammoth like their long thick golden coat and they say they're a lot closer now with their mini woolly mammoth mice. For us, it's an incredibly big deal. Ben Shapiro is Colossal's chief science officer This is really validation that what we have in mind for our longer term de-extinction projects is really going to work To make these wooly mice, Shapiro and her colleagues started by comparing ancient genetic material from mammoths with genomes from modern day African and Asian elephants

1:37:30 pinpoint genes responsible for making the mammoths distinctive. And then we look in the mouse for those same genes and instances where those genes have been involved with making a woolly coat or longer hair, or changing the color of the hair so they could use the latest gene editing techniques to breed mice that mimic mammoth characteristics and it appears to have worked! We ended up with some absolutely adorable mice that have longer, woolly golden-colored coats. As well as fat metabolisms like the mammoths had to survive in the frigid Arctic Now did they actually use some woolly mammoth DNA? You know they never make any of this clear and I'm wondering about these little woolly mice which are cute They look like gerbils Yeah they kind of do when their hair is a little disheveled

1:38:24 I think that, I still think this is a crock the whole thing but i like the story and it didn't... Why? Why do you like the story. I liked the story because of the way it ends so we had to go through it okay uh but I'm skeptical very skeptical if they're doing anything because this is all Jurassic Park the movie came out there was before the movie I thought maybe the timing could be better yeah But here we go. This is exciting to us because it confirms that the genes and gene families that we identified using our comparative genomics approach really do cause an animal to have a woolly coat, and a golden coat, and longer hairs. And this is the way that we're going to create mammoths for the future by someday

1:39:12 editing the genes of the mammoth's closest living relatives, Asian elephants so that they have the traits that made them mammoths mammoths and then hopefully releasing herds of these animals into the Arctic. Well you better up the CO2 content in the air because I don't think their lungs won't handle the low CO2 amounts we have. Dinosaurs couldn't live today! We don't have enough carbon dioxide I don't know what they would need to live up there, but I don't think an Indian elephant which is the ones with the smaller ears would appreciate being turned into hairy elephants and shipped into Arkansas. Here you go boys! That is your friend. Have fun. See if he can reproduce.

1:40:03 So, but the way this ends is actually kind of interesting because there's a little gotcha in here. Now other researchers say the woolly mice are exciting. You know I'm pretty skeptical about this but that mouse is pretty adorable and for people like me who want to understand the genetic basis of traits it's particularly impressive. Vincent Lynch is a professor of biology at the University of Buffalo But Lynch and others caution a mouse is not an elephant. So who knows if they could do the same thing with that species? And even if they could, is that such a great idea? Critics say the money would be better spent saving living species on the brink of extinction. And who knows what unintended consequences could result!

1:40:47 Carl Flessa is a professor of geosciences at the University of Arizona. I don't know what the downside of having a bunch of hairy Asian elephants stomping around in the tundra might be, they don't know what would happen! They can't really assure me that oh everything will be just fine everything will be just like it was back in the Pleistocene...I'm not ready to play God like that Colossal scientists say introducing mammoth-like creatures back into the tundra could actually repair the environment where the mammoth once roamed. Our intention is to recreate these extinct species that played really important roles in ecosystems that are missing because they've become extinct. Colossal also says, the molecular tools the company's creating for the mammoth could be used to save other species from going extinct

1:41:32 The researchers hope to have Asian elephant embryos engineered with mammoth traits by next year and their first mammoth-like calves in about three years. And they're already working on also resurrecting the dodo bird and the Tasmanian tiger." Is that what we waited for, for the dodo bird payoff? Yeah here's why... The other one they of course left out is there's the passenger pigeon which would be the other one The Dodo bird, which was wiped out by the modern times. By the Flintstones? They were wiped out in a cartoon? No, the Dodo bird was into the 1800's I believe Really?! And they were wiped out because... and i think this is good reason to bring them back They were apparently delicious! The dodo bird is notoriously delicious

1:42:25 And I think it'd be great to bring the dodo bird back, breed them like chickens. Have dodo bird eggs and dodo bird meat? I think it could be a big deal. It would be a moneymaker! I'm looking to see when we last had them... First recorded by Dutch sailors in 1598 and in the 19th century yes research was conducted on small quantity oh that was remains The last widely accepted sighting of a dodo was 1662. That was the last one they ate! The Dutch, who don't have much of a cuisine... The Dutch! They ate the damn thing! Hey Jaap, what is this? It's a tasty birdie, man! Tasty birdie! Dodo! I'm eating my dodo!

1:43:18 That was my Dutch eating a dodo bird. Very good, very good. Dimensionality to the show? Yes yes I'm glad to provide it. Okay well 16C whatever the case was we did eat them and there were a lot of reports about their deliciousness They don't look delicious they look kind of odd. They look dorky they look stupid yeah you know well stupid can be delicious...you never know A little bit of tech news before we take a break. The founder of Reddit, Alexis Ohanian confirms he's trying to buy TikTok He is teaming up with real estate billionaire Frank McCourt To submit a proposal for the app which faces a ban in the US if it is not sold by its Chinese owner ByteDance The deadline for a deal is next month

1:44:02 So, in some of the documents that are coming out from some lawsuits their worldwide revenue is a paltry two billion dollars. That's less than I thought. That's worldwide as global revenue. The US revenues maybe half a billion? It seems low. Could be as high as a billion. Seems low. Yeah. I think they should buy just for the entertainment value It's definitely just got the highest entertainment value now that you mention it. Ah, ladies and gentlemen Yes, you thought it was never going to happen but yes here he is! It's time for John's TikTok videos Hold on where's my tick-where's my TikTok video? Nothing is as good as a TikTok video from John because it really lightens the mood

1:45:02 So here we now have the lot of black women there was a thing about black women they all got into politics and they were gonna be embarrassed but a lot of black women are showing up on TikTok prayed all walking away from the Democrat Party yes and praising the Republicans. And I have two examples here that are quite... By the way this is only the black women in your TikTok, there's a lot of black women who are very much Democrats on other Tiktoks. Oh yeah! I agree. These are the TikToks I'm doing for the show. Okay, so we got... We have first of all we have the uh let's try black woman on Dems. I voted for Democrats my whole life!

1:45:44 They never did anything they promised. They would come to the black church and sing some Negro spirituals with us, and then disappear once they got our vote. They never did anything they promised! I voted for a Republican once in my life? And this dude done did everything he promised on steroids. He ain't even been in office two months and everything I voted for, I'm getting it's amazing. Do he sleep? Like this dude is he sleeps, he wake up on a mission to do what Nikiya voted for

1:46:26 He said, uh, Nikkia want me to fix that border? I'm on it. Nikkia wanna make sure them tax dollars is being spent for Americans more than anybody else? I'm on it! Like this dude wakes up...I feel like with me in mind. You know what I'm saying? I feel like he be thinking about me It's like being at the casino You put in that Democrat coin, you put it in and you pull the thing. And nope! You gonna win. Gonna win. You put another Democrat coin and you pull the thing... Nope! You didn't win. You put in a Republican coin? I put in a Republican coin for the first time?! Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding! Freaking won!!! Wow!!

1:47:20 So you know what that tells me? That tells me to never vote for Democrats again in life. Ever! Because you not gonna win with them I voted for a Republican once and hit the jackpot honey, I will continue to do that again and again and... Yeah yeah You know what i miss? I miss Aunt Jemima syrup That was one of the great tragedies of the DEI initiative. What is he? Aunt Jemima Syrup Yeah, they just took her picture off the label What is it called now then? It's called... You don't know? Syrup No! It's not the same

1:48:09 Okay, you got another this is another black woman. This is a little shorter oh my god y'all this is too much I am watching this Address to the joint Congress let me see you guys since it's Democrats if you were a Democrat You should be so embarrassed they're acting like little bitty kids like that They all got an attitude. They had to kick Al Green out because he running there shaking the stick, Nancy Pelosi slobbering on herself, Hakeem Jeffries sitting over there and did you see Jasmine Crocker when Al Green got kicked out? She sit down like I don't think I should do it no more. You should not! They all over their holding up signs somehow false and E-Line and all of this they are

1:48:50 They are so embarrassing. I wouldn't want to be a Democrat, but you know what this does? It lets me know that I'm on the right side because everything that man is saying is good for America and now you see who does not want America to prosper. You see who does not care about America than Democrats sitting over there with an attitude. I'm sick of them all my God they're embarrassing. I couldn't be called a Dem. No way They look like old, brittle demonic demons. They look like gremlins just bitter bigots they just look like their life sucks! Their life sucks!! They look unhappy I wouldn't want to be married to none of them honestly they look like they are...they are just terrible in a relationship Like they frown up at everything you can't be yourself can have no fun there bullies they suck!!!

1:49:47 You know what I just realized? Nowhere on M5M, and did you know that... Have you ever seen YouTube has... YouTube TV has that quad view. Have you found that yet? Oh yeah, absolutely. When you watch sports there's lots of quad views involved. So I got Fox News CNN MSNBC and BBC. Yeah they do it too. That's good but what you never hear a real Texan You never hear one these black ladies and this is how we talk in America! You never hear that anymore It's very illegal. It's funny because in the olden days when I was a kid They would always bring it Texan in or a black one where some of you when they wanted somebody that especially the southern guy with a drawl talk like this real slow yeah, he'd put him on because he sounded stupid and So you'd ask him crazy. I don't know what the hell is going on around here and

1:50:46 But they don't do that so much anymore. I don't know why, not to mention it's... They're elitist! It is the elite messaging system. They are elitists, that is exactly right. That's exactly right yeah alright. Do you want to torture us some more with this? Two more gems now we get okay we switch gears okay I'm gonna I'm gonna switch gears go to the liberal women So now we got, uh... Let me guess. They're white? I'm guessing Yes they are white liberal women and let's see here is the mask one this is the new protest it's a mask for protest It's an effective form of protest you have right now that you can start immediately

1:51:25 Put a mask back on. Stop letting them observe your face and have the side benefit of better health and protecting the rest of us in the world. Put a mask back on. Yeah, okay She's not liberal, she's deranged. She's nuts! Yeah well the next one is too this is the do something girl I need Democrats to do something if you are in a party of people If your'e the party who represents us and has our best interests at heart Please, please I am begging you. I'm begging you as someone who is having a hard time affording breakfast for her kid. I'm begging you as someone whose dad feels like it's becoming insurmountable at this rate. I'm begging you

1:52:12 We the people, the people out here on the streets. The people are here every fucking day and doing their best we can it is your job to represent us I need you please do something anything make a noise make a protest do Something stop just all of them damn words No one believes you with no one trusts You know what thinks you're worth anything? Please do something were begging you Oh man But these, all of these women including the previous two they're just there for likes and shares and viral stuff. There's no reality. It's like a boomer moment you know we just sit here go yeah well I'm a boomer. So are you by the way. A boomer adjacent

1:53:02 I am the face of Generation X. Technically, you're on the cusp because if you just stayed in the womb maybe another week it would have gone on to the other side. I'm Gen-X! I had the hair of Gen-X and recognized as such. Recognized as such? Yeah one of those guys that tries to look younger than your age We need a jingle This has been The John C. Dvorak Boomer Moment No, we don't need that jingle but I will play this clip just as an adjunct to the first two This is the Arthur C Brooks is a guy who writes in The New York Times op-eds and he's been writing about how unhappy

1:53:41 The liberal women are in the liberal liberals in general. Mm-hmm And he's got new data and they was on a podcast and here he is ten years ago You wrote conservative women are particularly seem to be particularly blissful about 40% say they're very happy that makes them slightly happier than conservative men and significantly happier than liberal women The unhappiest of all are liberal men. Only about a fifth consider themselves very happy." That was true ten years ago, liberal women have overtaken liberal men as the unhappiest group you find that particularly young women... Very interesting new data show that white liberal women under 30 have almost a 6 in 10 chance of having been diagnosed with a mental illness. In America today, it's a really big problem and there is lots of speculation on what that has to do with politics or race or age etc., but what you find is this group that are struggling and its pity because it's not good for them, it's not good for society and thats where we see.

1:54:37 I don't think that being a political conservative is a panacea for being a happy person, but we see disproportionately these happiness and unhappiness effects in different parts of the population for sure. Well i blame that on Soma or you know the modern day Soma is uh on the diagnosis he said it right there oh they're diagnoses unhappy depressed and you give them some drugs and they don't get better they just get more depressed? I don't think these things work but I think it's being handed out like candy And that's the problem. That's the problem, there has got to be a direct correlation and Bobby Kennedy Jr is going to change all of that you know? We'll see! By the way...that was kind of interesting so in a nation of headline readers

1:55:26 I think it was Fox News, the first headline that got passed around by everybody. And the headline was Robert F Kennedy Jr measles outbreak is called to action for all of us! Vaccines!! And if you really read the article he says vaccines are an option And then he goes into great depth on the benefits of vitamins A, C and D. Foods rich in vitamin B12, C and E balanced diet but even Fox. Oh Bobby's all under Vax train! He's always said as far as I can recall that i'm not...I'm for safe vaccines so if they're safe then you can take them if you want to

1:56:15 But it's like now he is this big traitor, oh that what you get when you get a democrat in. It was like no... What were you hearing? I heard him say, You know i'm not against vaccines if you want to take the vaccine, take the vaccine! Yeah, he's had vaccines himself. I mean... Yeah so it was like, I'm not surprised. I do have some big pharma news though! But i do want to mention something that you mentioned because I don't have the clip and it irks me now that I think about because I had the clip slide by and I didn't make it there's a woman who claims she was on she claims that person in Texas who died in Texas of the measles? No, I played the clip on The Last Show

1:56:56 You did? Yeah. Oh, oh no I know what you saw there's no evidence it was just some woman on TikTok saying that the kid had pneumonia and they gave the kid an MMR vaccine in the hospital Right yeah but we knew this with COVID they would do you know somebody get into a car wreck and they test them for COVID and say they died of COVID Yes And this is well documented that this was going on I don't see any reason it wouldn't continue No I know but there's just some chick with uh It was gossip. Yes, it was gossip. I thought it was interesting. Not Gossip is the price war now in your Ozempic alternatives there's a lot going on in the market

1:57:41 A lot of interesting things happening now with Deathbound Direct. Drug maker Eli Lilly is expanding its business of selling prescription medicines directly to consumers, the company is offering more vials if it's obesity drugs that bound two patients at a discount but only if they skip their insurance and PR Sydney Lubkin has more every month roughly 100 thousand people buys that bound directly from Eli Lily through its website It's about the size of a small city. That was David Ricks, Eli Lilly CEO last summer Lily started selling vials of the lower doses of Zep bound online patients either need a prescription from their doctor or can get one online through a lily partner now The company is adding higher doses of set bounds

1:58:24 It's a cultural phenomenon. It's used by millions of people in the US and millions more would like to use it, so I think it's incumbent on us not just to invent great new medicines but get them to patients." The drug usually comes in an auto-injector pen like an EpiPen but the Lilly offer is for vials that patients then use with an old fashioned syringe to inject themselves. It's a cheaper option — a few hundred dollars a month compared to more than $1,000 a month The other catch is that to get the discounted vials, patients cannot use their health insurance. Novo Nordisk which makes blockbuster Wigovi announced today that it too will sell its obesity drug at a discount for people not using insurance. This is a big deal because what it shows first of all is uh... That we're crazy We're crazy All kinds of side effects and we don't care as long I'm not fat! I want eat my Snickers and not be fat

1:59:21 But really it shows that they're making more money by not using insurance because insurance doesn't pay it all out. Insurance like, well yeah $1,000 we're only going to pay Eli Lilly, we are only going to pay you 250 so they charge people 300 for a Lilly Direct This insurance scam has got to stop Free Luigi! It's got no end in sight. We have insurance on auto repairs now, we have insurance on home appliances... Give me a break! Oh your home appliances are all gonna blow up your car is no good I mean nowadays the cars are more reliable than they've ever been when i was a kid

2:00:06 I mean it's ridiculous actually how reliable they are, especially if you buy a Toyota. But that's when you still had that crank on the front when you were kid? You know... And you had to be careful or break your thumb if you don't hold it right Wegovy is seeing this, that's the other Novonordisk option. They are seeing this and they're in the price wars! To the index tonight, the maker of the weight loss drug Wegovy cutting prices by 23%. Novo Nordisk says effective immediately it's reducing the price from $650 a month to $499. Yeah it's a price bonanza! It was going crazy everybody's reducing cost

2:00:45 It's funny how the man goes up but the prices go down. That doesn't make any sense. Well, something is up it's the insurance part it's completely the insurance part they're cutting out the insurance that sort of one thing that's why you know Tina loves that crowd health thing. But it's amazing she got like $300 for preventative care and she only pays 250 a month ago and we're giving everybody because they have so much money now this fund It's so good as an alternative to insurance. People are just going around the system and it is great! They used to cost us $1800 a month, no way! No...

2:01:31 It's much better until we're old enough for Medicaid, which you know the Republicans are going to cut. Medicare. Yeah well Donald Trump is gonna do away with it we'll have no Medicare will have no Social Security when I wind up eating cat food. You'd be screwed. We'll be eating cat food my mom always used to say. Jay! Jay were gonna wind up eating cat food? Whatever happened in their stories there was a story that wasn't that long ago they were talking about The poor, you know the old people eating dog food from cans. When I was a kid... You read those stories? What happened to those stories? Yes! When I was a kid that was the story my mom would freak her out it's like if this if you lose your job then we're gonna wind up eating cat food. All I saw is dog food nobody wants to eat cat food well that and my mom always had it no she took it to an next level It's just like it's good it's gonna be worse than dog food Jay he's gonna be cat food

2:02:24 I'm reminded of there was a woman that the Daily Californian, a college newspaper from Berkeley. She did it...I still think this is genius. She did a column, a news column on dog food reviews. And she ate it? And she ate the dog food and kibble in fact, she'd eat kibble I've eaten everything I have ever given to my pets i've tried myself Really? Every single thing. You could write this up, because I read it! I wouldn't do it but I'd read all the stuff... Why not?! So we give Phoebe one cookie at night and she knows because time to go to bed she runs into the studio that's where her bed is She lays down and then she gets a cookie It's one cookie And sometimes its honey yogurt and sometimes bacon and eggs

2:03:18 And I gotta tell you, I smelled the bacon and eggs like, I'm gonna try this. It was like a bacon and egg cookie! It was pretty good! It's not that bad!" This is material where you're wasting it. What do you mean? I'm doing on the show! You're doing it now, but this has been going on for years in a pinch. Yes, I'd eat the dog's food. We want to know we want dog food and cookies. Milk bone reviews. The only thing... even with my new teeth I'm afraid to eat her chomp so So in the morning after our walk, she gets a chomp. It's good for her teeth. You're talking about that's like a rawhide cake? Yeah I can't eat that. That doesn't sound like something you'd eat when you have to review that! She crunches that and three seconds is gone. But if you want i'll do it...I'll do the cookie review sure. Because we buy it in a three-pack We get the honey yogurt, bacon and eggs and some other flavor which I can't remember because I probably haven't tried it yet so I'll give it a shot

2:04:20 Yes. I think you should, yeah! This will add dimensionality to the show Well with that i'd like to thank you for your courage saying in the morning to you The man who put the C in his TikTok videos Say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr John C DeVoree! Yeah! Good morning to you Mr Adam Curry Good morning Steve Bush and the ground feet And the air subs and the water the dames and the knights out there In the morning to the trolls and the troll girl Let me count you trolls Hold on stop moving here we go That's making fun of ya The odds are a little down I think, our average 2023 which is if i look over the last show on Thursday was 2135. Last 10 shows averaged 2057 but it is above the 100 show average so we're above the 100 uh show moving average which hey Phoebe's mad now because she's like you're not eating my cookie! She's growling yeah you good girl can I have your cookie? Yeah

2:05:19 Those trolls are in the troll room. They are hanging out there Man, we had a big server crash last night The troll room was up but the stream was down The downloads were down It was very troublesome for everybody What happened? Some server locked up hard and I could have woken VoidZero up at like 3 in the morning for him So I sent him a text message because sometimes you'll hear the text message But he didn't. I'm not gonna call him, so you know of course he was up probably within midnight or 1 a.m our time and he fixed it but something that has not happened in over a decade but you could tell the troll room was disturbed they were talking politics and yelling at each other because there's no stream to listen to all of a sudden the troll room turned into it a mess

2:06:13 You got Baron Spud the Mighty who knows everything about everything. He was just hogging the airwaves They go nuts! They do, they had nothing to calm them down But luckily the stream is back up and of course we do the show live every Thursday and Sunday but there's a lot of live shows at The No Agenda Stream. And you can listen to it at trollroom.io or noagenda.stream, Or I recommend the modern podcast apps Podcast Guru is one you can check out What's cool about Podcast Guru like some of the others when we go live You get an announcement

2:06:51 get a little alert and then you tap on that and boom, you're listening live. And whenever we publish the show if you can't listen live although you should because it's a lot of fun You'll get a notification within 90 seconds of publishing I did that keynote at the National Religious Broadcasters Conference. Yeah, you were the keynoter! I was...I did two keynotes actually. Two? How can that even exist?! Well they had multiple keynotes. It was billed as a keynote and it was a keynote. But I did The Future of Radio and The Future of Podcasting What is The Future of Radio? Local. It's all local and its podcasts

2:07:32 That's the future because podcasting has now finally disrupted radio and everybody knows it. But then I showed an example of, you know there was a lot of broadcasters slash podcasters there at the conference say have you ever had this happen to you where someone goes online or emails you and says You haven't uploaded! You forgot to upload to Apple I said, you know that's not actually how it works. Of course everyone is laughing because they've all heard this! Like yeah my show sometimes doesn't you know doesn't show up on Apple for an hour and a half or two hours later on Spotify takes forever And i said that's because you're not using a modern podcast app tell them to get a better app PodcastApps.com A lot of extra features for that by the way which you will enjoy when you go to PodcastApps.com

2:08:25 Of course we do this show live but we also do it value for value which means, uh... We don't have to think about much. Just—We have to think about delivering the best media deconstruction for you. We don't have to please anybody specifically Don't have to please advertisers or investors Or even have to worry about people going I'm unsubscribing! from your Patreon. From your Patreon, I'm stopping my payment! Yeah don't have to worry about getting debanked or debunked or defunct whatever it is no if you get value out of this show then you send us value back and if you don't get valued then we don't and eventually you know if we don't provide enough value then we go out of business and it hasn't happened so far over 17 years when our 18th year still going strong and were very pleased about it

2:09:14 So you can send back value to us in multiple ways. Treasure, which we appreciate and will be thanking as we always do every single person who supported us financially $50 or above You can also put your time and your talent to good use. People organize meetups, they do websites, they do promotions for the show And a great way to help promote the show is with artwork that we can use for each individual episode and of course The Modern Podcast apps always show The Modern Art Not all of the podcast apps do that in mainstream legacy podcast app land So we chose Dame Kenny Benn, another fine Dutch artist who did a great piece. We talked about the social charcuterie because that's how some NPR dude was pronouncing it and this social charcuterie board which

2:10:07 I'm going to presume this is an AI generated thing. What do you think? Do you think that was done with Photoshop? It had to be manipulated, I think it started as AI and there's some tweaking. Yeah could be wrong. I mean it's good the word social is hewn out of cheese And the charcuterie also cheese and perhaps some other sandwich. I don't know about the green, I don't know what kind of salami the green letters were from but it was a really good she actually did two pieces let me see then we went back and forth about which of the to do now that one with the bigger lettering is the one that will always win

2:10:46 Yeah, although I like the fact that in version 2 she had curry and Dvorak also spelled out in cheese and sandwich meats. Let's see what else did we talk about? Nothing really. Nothing at all? You may be right. I believe art is always a function of the show itself In other words if we don't have topics that that are inspirational so far as the artist is concerned. Ooh, I have an idea! If the art's no good we always blame ourselves because it's true. Yeah and then I believe to be our fault. So completely your fault is the woolly mouse art that I see showing up thanks a lot. Thanks a lot Dvorak good job you focus the artists on... A little mouse with tusks It's not good we're not choosing its mouth with mouse with tusk

2:11:41 People it's still wide open as far as I'm concerned. No agenda art generator calm That's where you can see all the art that submitted and guess what? You can submit as well. That's what makes it so cool It's like an ongoing competition We love to see our artists succeed, and we appreciate their work very much no agenda art generator comm And now we're going to thank our executive and associate executive producers.

My cumulative donations have now surpassed $500 which i believe should entitle me to the title of Squire Hmm. That was a thing we introduced like five or six, seven eight years ago that never took off and we never used. But we can call him a squire if he wants to be called Squire? Well he wants to be the Trans Squire. Until a decree from the roundtable drops on this matter I humbly demand to be spoken of as the Trans Squire!

We appreciate you so much. NoAgendaDonations.com and again thanks to our executive and associate executive producers. Our formula is this...we go out or hit people in the mouth

2:21:39 Right, so I need to go back to my...I had some technology news for you which is just not a clip but something i need to share. As I got this from Rob the constitutional lawyer A federal judge in Oakland, that's right up the road from you. Yeah I can see him from here. Has ruled that families from various states may proceed with negligence and wrongful death claims against social media platforms so this goes outside of section 2

2:22:22 203? Section 230. Yes, the legal theory is that these platforms purposefully addict minors leading to compulsive use that causes mental and physical harm The judge ruled that section 230 does not protect the platform from claims based on this addiction theory It's very interesting because you can claim a lot of damage and all kinds of stuff And there was some other, there's a new defense which is similar. Let me see where is this? Oh no I can't find it of course! There was a defense for autism. Maybe its under Big Pharma let me see... No because they're starting to get interesting with Autism

2:23:16 Yes, here we go. Listen to this. This morning newly released court documents show lawyers for accused killer Brian Koberger argue he should not have to face the death penalty at his upcoming trial because of his autism diagnosis. His lawyers claiming Coberger's Autism Spectrum Disorder or ASD makes him incapable of acting in a way that aligns with societal expectations of normalcy. The fear is that people will take as ASD and instead attribute some sort of guilt or menacing aspect to it And for that reason, the defense believes that the death penalty should be struck. Koberger is accused of killing four University of Idaho students at this off-campus house in 2022. His lawyers say Koberger's disability has already affected media coverage and would bias the jury claiming Mr. Kobergers facial expressions including his lack of effect and concentrated stare are already being assigned sinister meaning by observers

2:24:09 The strength of this motion is predicated on the strength of that diagnosis. And without more information because this motion is sealed, we may not know the full extent of Brian Kohlberger's ASD or how to apply it to this case. Both prosecutors and the defense making requests about the upcoming trial. Prosecutors want victims' family members allowed in court for the entire trial while the defense wants lawyers and witnesses banned from using the words psychopath and sociopath. No ruling yet on those requests. So law is getting interesting, I'm pretty sure we'll soon see well you know you transitioned your daughter so you know she killed you it's what you get

2:24:52 I found that case in the Idaho guy, because we know about this guy. He's been going on forever with this case. He murders four girls and then jumps in his car and takes off from New York or wherever he went. They caught him somewhere halfway there. Always looked like kind of a nutball in some way but they just brought this thing out of the blue? How long was it...he's always been autistic? I never noticed it. I guess! It's a wide spectrum. It's a wide spectrum. I'm sure that Rob, the constitutional lawyer will weigh in on it and he has also weighed in on this. You have a clip of this as well about the Supreme Court ruling. Tonight the Supreme Court narrowly ruling that Trump administration must pay out nearly $2 million dollars in foreign aid The first time the high court has weighed in on a Trump executive action in his second term The 5-4 ruling upholds district court order that money must be paid to non profit groups for work already completed on government behalf

2:25:49 Of course, typical ABC summary. Very very sparse and terse summaries a lot more. It's not much better here but there is little more information on this NTD report. Yep, got it. also known as USAID and the State Department. Aid organizations said in a Supreme Court filing they would face quote, extraordinary and irreversible harm if the funding freeze continues. President Trump ordered a 90 day pause on all foreign aid on his first day back in office that says he and the Department of Government Efficiency or DOGE continue to search for and cut what The White House has called waste fraud and abuse in the federal government

2:26:49 So, it's the $2 billion is work that was already completed. Yeah, that doesn't count but not reported is my not reported clip which actually brings a little more out than this not generally reported by the mainstream and more legal updates on Trump's executive actions A judge halts NIH funding cuts and the agriculture department is ordered to reinstate thousands of workers A federal judge today blocked the Trump administration from cutting federal grant funding for research at medical schools and universities. The nationwide injunction came at the request of 22 Democratic state attorneys general and related groups. The Trump administration said it was capping the rate at which it reimbursed research institutions for indirect costs

2:27:38 such as laboratory space, faculty equipment and infrastructure. The cap would be at 15 percent down from an average of around 28 percent the National Institutes of Health said this would save the government four billion dollars a year U.S District Judge Angel Kelly in Boston agreed to the NIH planned funding cuts were unlawful. The judge is an appointee of former President Biden in addition, the Department of Agriculture has been ordered to temporarily reinstate nearly 6000 workers who lost their jobs as part of President Trump's effort to cut

2:28:16 the federal workforce. The order from the Merit System Protection Board blocks the USDA from firing probationary employees for 45 days. Is this reporter's last name Lamas by any chance? Because she sounds like she has got to poop! No. The decision was issued a day after a federal judge blocked Trump from firing board member Kathy Harris Her term expires in three years The board has already halted the firing of six other employees at the request of the Office of Special Counsel Trump has sought to fire the watchdog agency's head

2:28:54 Hampton Dellinger as well. Dellinger revealed yesterday that he had asked the board to halt the dismissal of thousands of USDA employees. Hmm, that has not been reported you're right none of it's been reported but they do it they put in a key Bosch the kibosh on the other stuff but on the On the other payments, stopping the payments. First of all Amy Conant Barrett, Amy Coney Barrett She's the turncoat! They've turned on her They've turned on her? The right wing has yeah Well they should! Shes like oh well you know Although she is probably right actually because the $2 billion was work completed I don't know how they proved that but

2:29:42 But this is how it works in America. You have Article 1, Congress rights laws defining judicial jurisdiction. Article 2 the executive is in charge of paying taxpayer money to contractors which does enjoy sovereign jurisdiction and carrying out this function. The article 3 did judiciary that often invades these duties under the guise of judicial review You know, that's what we call that checks and balances in America. So this is normal they kick it back to the lower court. It goes back and forth. That's just how the system works Yeah And so it's not a big deal. It slows things down which is the best part yeah it is and I'll just reiterate something you said a few shows back We can laugh about the Democrats but we really need a strong Democrat party because things get out of control with Republicans. It could easily happen

2:30:31 could easily happen. And where is my Epstein files? This is very upsetting to me, I'm very upset... You're not the only one! Where's Kennedy's files too? Yeah, I want the JFK files, I want the Epstein files which now of course will be redacted to protect national security. How can there be a national security issue in the Epstein files? Hmmmm That's kind of interesting. I know what it could be easy Okay, give us a clue CIA was running Epstein yeah well we know that Well, that's Nestle security let it all come out. I don't know what yet They have to do a reset once in awhile Let it all come out Yeah We should just just let it all hang out they've got someone at least one person has to burn over this

2:31:23 Maybe that's the issue who's gonna burn it. They don't seem to wanted anyone to burn over anything ever is your phone ringing? What am I hearing is you're wearing the little chime the wind chimes if your wind chimes hanging Yeah, what what is that are you doing percussion on the side while you do in this show surprise You can hear yes. I can hear the mic. What is that oh It's this thing. It is one of my noisemakers, that whenever people send in... So when you're talking and just stroking your percussion instruments? I'm kind like Blofeld and the cat. Okay there's another reference no one gets

2:32:03 And I should have played this. There's always some one or two people that get it and they say, you know that was funny. Yeah. Let me send a donation in because these are really not doing well. Your chimes are the big donation driver. I forgot. That and this This happened early this morning. Today the president is expected to sign an executive order aimed at dismantling the Department of Education. This comes as the Trump administration continues to find ways to downsize the federal government with more details here's ABC's Nicole D'Antonio This morning, ABC News has learned the Trump administration is preparing to dissolve the Department of Education as soon as today. Sources say a draft executive order directs education secretary Linda McMahon to facilitate a department closure this week. The Department of Education employs more than 4,000 people spending $251 billion last year. Trump has said he wants to give education back to the state

2:33:00 I'd like it to be closed immediately. Look, the Department of Education's a big con job It's unclear how Secretary McMahon will close the department Congressional approval is required to abolish a federal agency Hmm... Is that true? Well i thought it was but- I thought it was Jimmy Carter who put this thing in play with executive order Let's double check. They must have codified it later Oh, they must have but that is a lot of money That thing is a joke Can you imagine being Linda McMahon? We're going to make you go through the hearings and everything and get to be secretary of education Are you kidding me?! I bet she loves it! She's into that wrestling stuff Well, yeah why not? Okay, I get to be last Secretary of Education Yeah, now I can see where she would like that

2:33:49 Let me see, originated... You know she knew in advance that was going to happen obviously. This is interesting the United States Department of Education is a cabinet level department of the United States government originating in 1867? As part of the department as a department it was either commerce or some other it was inside another department it was not a separate cabinet member I wasn't on a separate It was Carter that pulled it out and made it separate. Well, hold on I'll read from the Book of Knowledge. In its current form the department began operating on May 4th 1980 there you are having been created after the Department of Health Education and Welfare... That's where it came from ...was split into the Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services by the Department of Education Organization Act which Jimmy Carter signed into law so it was an act of Congress

2:34:44 So, so there. So you don't know what you're talking about misinformation split okay they split it off from HH at was now HHS that we used to call something else yeah but Carter was behind it yeah okay but it wasn't executive order he was a it was an act It was all an act! I don't know what i'm talking about. You're spreading lies, you're spreading lies to Laura. No it's gonna create that McMahon effect... What is that called there? The Edmangelman effect. Oh. Mangelman amnesia to be exact. Yeah yeah. You just forgot. I forgot because I had Edmangelman amnesia

2:35:28 Well, I do see on my quad screen now. I do see teachers yelling at the camera so I guess something's happened But you know that's where you have a screen in your studio? I can't really monitoring yeah, I can't really see it because I need my glasses but if I wear my glasses I can't see the screen in front of me that the You know the control panel of the whole show and Ah, without the control panel of the whole show there's no show. So here is possibly the most fun clip that we both talked about and I said, I got it! I got it! I'll play it but really its a clip for both us. We both saw it. This is Democrat Representative Sidney Kamlager-Dove

2:36:11 who for some reason just let the truth come out. You don't care about this country and that is unacceptable if you claim to be the president of the United States so we are here, we're not going anywhere We are gonna continue to fight back and we're gonna continue to speak lies to his truth To his stealing And to his cheating Thank you! Oh thank YOU No thank YOU Seriously thank you How can you get it so messed up? We're gonna speak lies to his truth. Lies to his truth, I tell you! It's amazing And there has never been a... Did she apologize or correct herself? There has never been a follow-up clip that keeps me going around like this? I have other things to do with my life than see if she corrected herself but someone on the spot should've said Hey hey

2:37:03 You said it wrong. I know the little crowd around her are clapping, they didn't even pay attention! Let's see... I have um well you know since you played a Stephen A Smith clip anyway he's my favorite sports ball guy yeah sure I like it. Now, is he still on ESPN or has he gone? He's gone right? Is he doing a podcast? I think he's independent now. No, he comes and goes. He's not persona non grata. He's doing a podcast! Yeah which is what you do... So he was on The View

2:37:42 And you know there's this ongoing like, Trump doesn't have a mandate. It was 1%. He doesn't have a mandate for anything new mandate and Stephen A Smith he's making a name for himself he's going out there and he's owning the libs his own people! It's only been in office six weeks seems like six years doesn't it? And he's been going around with his cronies touting his so-called landslide and blowout win. But he won the popular vote by 1.5%, one of the smallest ever, and he won the general election by less than 50%. So what kind of mandate is this really? Well it is a mandate that I'm going to explain why. And I don't mind the question but let me be very clear. I am no supporter of Trump. I'm a supporter truth in the facts. Here's

2:38:27 The man won every swing state. He increased in terms of his voter turnout and his favor from the standpoint of blacks, Latinos and young voters he increased his numbers in that regard from 2020 89% of the counties shifted to the right That's a mandate. We can sit up there and play around all we want to in 2020 They didn't win the popular vote He didn't win the Electoral College vote a matter of fact The Republicans had it won the popular vote if I remember 2004 but they did this year so 20 years after

2:39:03 After they last won a popular vote, they won the popular vote. They won the electoral college vote. The man want every swing state and on top of it all 89% of the counties shifted against I don't understand how people can look at that and say there's no mandate. There is a mandate. It's a different definition of a mandate but the problem is that if you're the Democratic Party or you lost 49.8% to 48.3%, are you looking at their 1.5%. That's an excuse for you to say what we did really wasn't bad. We should continue No, don't continue to find a new strategy. Now if the Democrat Party was smart they would promote this guy as the Joe Rogan of the left He doesn't have the views on YouTube yet he's in the low like hundred thousand kind of per episode? Think no now

2:39:53 They can't do that. Why not? His message is all negative! No, it's a... He slams the Democrats left and right he's worse than Carville You need this you need this This is how it starts and then he starts to... Let's say I'm a Democrat let's say I'm not but let's say I am I may unaffiliate for anyone who wants to know. But let's say, I'm a Democrat strategist right now. Now I'm thinking exactly what he said which is Trump only won by a little bit you know it could have gone either way and we don't need some guy in there slamming us telling us how bad we are. We want some guy...I have an idea there's a group called the Midas Touch they

2:40:36 These guys will do the job, they're going to promote us properly. They're not gonna say anything bad about us and I can assure a bunch of bonehead idiots that's what they want! You know what? We are the stupidest two guys on the planet here we are for over 17 years looking for an exit strategy. We know how to do this We can be the Joe Rogan of the left. We could do if we wanted, yeah! Let's practice it. How do we do it? Right and we'd be big phonies... How do we do it? Well let's practice I mean we need to practice we need to pick a topic so uh I can't believe that Holman that guy he is rousting children right out of their school benches

2:39:53 They can't do that. Why not? His message is all negative! No, it's a... He slams the Democrats left and right he's worse than Carville You need this you need this This is how it starts and then he starts to... Let's say I'm a Democrat let's say I'm not but let's say I am I may unaffiliate for anyone who wants to know. But let's say, I'm a Democrat strategist right now. Now I'm thinking exactly what he said which is Trump only won by a little bit you know it could have gone either way and we don't need some guy in there slamming us telling us how bad we are. We want some guy...I have an idea there's a group called the Midas Touch they

2:40:36 These guys will do the job, they're going to promote us properly. They're not gonna say anything bad about us and I can assure a bunch of bonehead idiots that's what they want! You know what? We are the stupidest two guys on the planet here we are for over 17 years looking for an exit strategy. We know how to do this We can be the Joe Rogan of the left. We could do if we wanted, yeah! Let's practice it. How do we do it? Right and we'd be big phonies... How do we do it? Well let's practice I mean we need to practice we need to pick a topic so uh I can't believe that Holman that guy he is rousting children right out of their school benches

2:41:22 He is separating families. He's putting kids in cages! And have you seen that guy? He looks like a moron. He's mumbling and bumbling, he's horrible looking. It is the worst in the world. Yeah that guy... Did you see that speech by that orange-headed freak?! Did you see what he did?? He politicized a kid with brain cancer. It was unbelievable I mean cold-blooded how low blooded how low can you go? Cold-blooded he got no heart and then he had the audacity when you had a long term sitting Democrat representative of the people of The great state of Texas where I live in Houston it was a great singer Al Green

2:42:11 He's a great singer and he is also representative. And he had the sergeant at arms, that's a military position! A sergeant-at-arms forcefully take him out and I thought he was going to take out Nancy Pelosi They were looking at Nancy like, you're next Nancy. Goose stepped in it! They goose-stepped in... You see Kyle? They were doing anything but sort of beating him up on the right in front of everybody else and hold him out of there. And the audacity... Unceremoniously I might add. Completely without ceremony and then he had the audacity to make that South African ball loving

2:42:56 on the spectrum crazy freak who's all over our social security records. The true president? Your medical, the real president yes we all know We all know They had the audacity to put him- To shine the spotlight on him And did you see that goofy look He's there like yeah I'm getting all your records I'm gonna make Grok that much better John i'm thinking we can do this It's worth considering Well, it's something that people would did there was a group of people that we don't that don't listen to our show normally We don't get a lot of hate listeners But maybe if we can get the troll room to play along with us You know so they can see we have an audience and you have the whole thing staged. Yeah, right And except we just have to do some advertisers and we're doing on a YouTube live

2:43:46 Yeah, with cans on our head. Well we have to do video if we don't do video it won't work. I agree maybe yes so we have to do video will make you will put a cheesecloth in front of the lens for you yeah just to soften it up a little bit Like the old actresses. Or Vaseline that works too. Vaseline on the lens, yes. Just smear the lens with vaseline and I'll be looking good And you know what? We'll share some of the love with the trolls we will have a fund for the trolls and give them all T-shirts and tote bags Yes everyone gets paid Everybody gets paid Rent a crowd rent a troll crowd You know i'm only half heartedly laughing about this it would be a refreshing change

2:44:30 It would be refreshing, John. Yeah it will give us some acting chops! Think about it... We could go for an award! Oh and then we can bring in Hollywood people because they'll come then like you know that's true there's no yeah we have like one lone Hollywood guy well two actually maybe three We have about three Hollywood guys total. And I guarantee... Right out of thousands! I can bring in the sparkle clergy, you know? Because Adam's a Christian but he loves LGBTQ. I mean we can really broaden the horizons on this thing Yeah and you could do the gay thing If it's enough money i'll do the gay thing John I can't believe what that orange man did again! And we can do TikToks

2:45:18 Well, we already do tick-tock. Oh you mean be on to beyond? Yeah We gotta be on you got a promoter. We need to meet followers man. We've flowers I can turn the tech grouch into a liberal. Oh man can do the Tech Grouch liberal how would he sound? Like this okay. Well there you go. I don't know that just blew the whole bit blew the whole bit It's worth considering, it's worth considering. Think about the money. If we get donations stay at this low level we're gonna have to do that. We're going to ads! We're going to ads and become libs. Ads and liberals. We need a good name. We need like liberal sellouts. We're gonna be co-opted. We need a good name for ourselves. The Lib Joes

2:46:06 Boom! He's got it. Hey everybody, welcome to the Lib Joe Show That's right I'm Lib he is Joe together we're the Lib Joes and today we are mad We are just hopping mad You know why? Because black people don't get treated fairly by this president He is a racist The only African he likes is the South African We can do this...We can so do this Oh oh wait....we gotta up talk Oh that's hard No..we can do it I think we can. I'm not absolutely sure, but I think we can talk like this if you wanted Did you watch the State of the Union? I did! And how about this... Let me think... Oh yeah, we got a little vocal flag to go with that Yeah let me think about it Or The Mad Libs We could be The Mad Libs Now there's a callback That might even better The Mad Libs So let's get off this track and play a clip Okay

2:47:05 I want to play this FEMA funded fiasco WTF clip. Ooh, i love the alliteration! All right a New York federal judge has denied the city of New York's request to order the Trump administration to immediately return over 80 million dollars in FEMA funds The judge says the city failed to show it would suffer irreparable harm U.S. District Court Judge Jennifer Reardon made a quick decision from the bench after an hour of oral arguments. She said although the city may experience some harm, it could try other avenues to get the money back while its lawsuit against the federal government plays out. The money approved by the Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA was to reimburse the city for costs incurred in managing the immigrant crisis, the city said

2:47:51 the trump administration removed the money from the new york city's bank account after you on most accused the city of using fifty million dollars in taxpayer funds to house illegal immigrants and luxury hotels luxury city denied that it was using the funds illegally and said it wasn't a compliance issue but rather an issue of the administration not wanting the funds to be used for certain programs uh... okay here's what right this is a wbf clip If we resolve, you have the media saying oh FEMA never paid for immigrants. During the North Carolina fiasco if you recall. Oh now FEMA all of money, we don't have any money left because we gave it to immigrants and wait a minute you had money left? No he didn't have! We did, we didn't, his money was FEMA money wasn't FEMA money this is confusing me

2:48:45 Was this money FEMA money federal emergency management? Administration money to pay for the hotel. They New York argued there was that they deserved it I mean what what I don't get it, I'm so confused That's that should be your your tagline on our new show. I'm so confused I'm gonna talk like a marble from my mouth Well, I heard the president say it was $22 billion that ultimately had gone from USAID into all of not just FEMA funds but into all of this for irregular migration. But I still can't get over the fact that they're calling The Roosevelt Hotel a luxury hotel. I always gets stuck on that one. That's always hard for me. Yeah it's never been... The sad thing is

2:49:36 I got a note from some producers in Western North Carolina. Those people are still completely screwed, it's like they're not on the news no one cares about them They're still in tents they've got no houses there's nothing being done...I think It would be a good idea for those of you in government circles who listen to this podcast You know who you are? The president should maybe make a visit Because they need something. They need real help, they have been ignored... Yeah it's ridiculous! And maybe because it is a liberal part of the country but It is despicable while we're all arguing over stuff there are actual Americans still living in tents completely lost everything There's probably still bodies strewn about the hillside

2:50:32 And they need help, they really do. Western North Carolina right in let me know what are you seeing? What's happening boots on the ground we need to expose some of this because it is really bothering me now It got politicized right away with the governor... Yeah right off the tracks Yeah, and then something else happens. Squirrel! This is our problem this is the real problem with our messaging system in America It's like okay we're gonna pay attention to you for five seconds and we'll toss your bone You know everybody was helping out I know there are still people helping out but these people need help And they're real Americans They are people who are being ignored by all parts of the government as far as I'm concerned

2:51:25 I hate to say it. What's your pardon czar clip? Let's move on from the Americans in tents and let's go to something else, yes The pardons are what this is about This is a black guy on TikTok talking about this woman Is this a woman that Trump pardoned in his first term And so he's revisited her. She was the one, I think that was it wasn't Diddy it was Kanye or one of these people. Kanye and Kim Kardashian? And Kim Kardashian they insisted this woman get pardoned they went in to visit the White House and Trump looked at over says yeah for sure pardoned her brought her back in this term and made her the pardon czar according to this guy here

2:52:08 And this got no play whatsoever. Everyone says, oh it's just exploiting her So Donald Trump just pardoned a black woman A real black woman I went to the spender and then he turned around and said you're now in charge of who gets pardoned Alice Johnson spent 22 years in prison 22 years She had another 22 years left Can you believe it? You've been inspiration to people And we're going to be listening to your recommendation on pardons. You're gonna go over and you're gonna be, she's gonna be my pardon czar. And you're gonna find people just like you that should not, this is should not have happened. So you mean to tell me a person that's been mistreated by the justice system really mistreated by the justice system now gets to go look at other people who possibly have been mistreated by the same justice system and recommend them for pardons?

2:53:02 Well, I can tell you that Alice is... there's friends of mine who are in contact with her actually. With the Pardons Czar. Oh really? Yes! You know our buddy who said to go to the slammer at The Big House Yeah They're uh... she's apparently looking at his case Wow She's taking it seriously then Oh yeah well there's a lot cases people got Wrapped up in things and other scams Medicare been Let's say thrown in the slammer For no for reasons that are dubious I guess And you get out and then you're given this job, and you really there's not a lot of other things You can do when you're gonna get paid probably well Yeah, you might take it quite seriously and become a maniac about it. Yeah Wow

2:53:58 Which is good. Yeah, we're all doing videos We're all doing tick tocks Pardon him please pardon him Wouldn't be fun if her first name was Dolly that would be best I could be dolly part only pardon Imagine all the people who get to us oh yeah, they'd be fine Oh I don't care what you say, but you never get that kind of top-shelf comedy gold anywhere else except on your NO Agenda show ladies and gentlemen.

Sorry about that, we clearly missed that so we're happy to make that up Well I've been lacking so sorely on these ISOs I'll just go first with my two...I mean what difference does it make at this point? You've got some well of unknown depth of great ISO's It's just you're knocking it out the park So here is what I have! I have these 2 Damn man! Hmm?

3:11:27 Okay, that's a flat and here's the other one. I just love it Almost usable almost usable okay? So what are we what are we really gonna use then well we got a couple We got uh I think this is beat oh man try and beat that for a show ah That one already kills mine And now you probably have a better one The best. These guys are the best of the best! Nah, I don't even know which one to choose let me try Oh man, try and beat that for a show That's pretty good These guys are the best of the best I like using this one because we can use that when we turn into the Mad Libs I think that would be very useful Alright everybody that is what we used for end of show I said but right now it is time for John's tip of the day

3:12:20 Created by, it's for you and me. Just a tip with JCB. And sometimes Adam created by Dana Brunetti Okay so I this is screwball tip but it's a good tip when you buy eggs the eggs are starting to come back on the market little bit not really in any extreme amount but they're out there I am going to recommend, I told Mimi said what do you have for tip of the day? So I'm gonna recommend jumbo eggs. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Of all the things Mimi calls you up and says what are you doing for tip of the day? Yeah! I gotta check and make sure you're doing a good job there really. Oh that's interesting well I like this cheese. Jumbo okay let me get back to it jumbo eggs when you see these there's all these different eggs they're double A whatever their sizes they have medium large extra-large and there's an egg called jumbo

3:13:14 Now jumbo eggs are interesting because besides being huge, like an extra minute to cook if you're gonna hard boil them is that they're rare. Because jumbo eggs it indicates the chicken is done for these are chickens when they start producing jumbo egg and sometimes you get double yolks on a jumbo egg the chickens have to be cold because the chickens making the eggs too big the chicken will get egg bound and probably have to be put down, and there's nothing worse than an egg-bound chicken because it's a suffering way to go. That is the worst. And so you end up with... So when you see jumbo eggs which are... You won't find a lot of them but when you see them buy jumbo eggs they cost maybe I don't know maybe $1 more but just like twice as much egg per egg. My recommendation of all things in my tip for today is buy

3:14:05 jumbo eggs when you see them. I will back you up, Tina has been buying jumbo eggs not the ones from Costco those are just regular size but the jumbo eggs it's more egg for the money Yes, and it's the end of the chickens life. You're not gonna have... The poor chicken that lays the jumbo eggs are done for so... You can always go for the emu egg I think the emu egg is still it is the way to go And that everybody is your tip of the day find it at tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com Great advice from you and me Just a tip with JC And sometimes Adam

3:14:48 By the way, before you end everything I want to mention to the No Agenda Fund group that puts together The Tip of the Day and puts it on their website that this sandwich I recommended some shows ago was from Burger King not from Jack in the Box.

The administration announced Friday it plans to cut 7000 jobs in response to an executive order from President Trump who has said he wants to slash the federal workforce even in what have been considered politically sensitive functions such as social security. Cutting social security is politically sensitive and he knows they're trying to conflate the two... ...to try to trick the dumb lusters of NPR into people that give him money
