00:00 Wow, that's a desert Deadpool. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday March 23rd 2025 this year award winning Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1749 This is no agenda come back I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're saying head for the hills, they're going to deregulate ham radio! I'm John C. Dvorak. You know I would have clipped it, but the guy so verbose But it's a 10-minute video at eight minutes. He says what does this all mean? I don't know It was the worst kind of clickbait ever like what this what the new FCC means for ham radio I'm like oh man. It's either really good or really bad and

01:10 I am thinking though that it may be bad because Starlink is appealing to the FCC for more licensed spectrum and that usually comes from the Ham Boys. Yeah, they always steal it from the Hams. It's like hey you know there's this band over here nobody seems to be using... Never mind that the Hams finally did a good job in Western North Carolina. They did a great job there It was good. Somebody had to there was no communications whatsoever No, and he got the Starlink you have got no power what difference does it make? The solar panels solar panels to the rescue well speaking of such I think in our More than 17 years of history we have never gotten this one right We always forget

02:03 and we always remind ourselves to do better next year. Once again, we forgot! The Pacific Park Ferris Wheel over on the Santa Monica Pier joined other landmarks across the world today in going dark for one hour to mark Earth Hour 2025 This would join the Empire State Building in New York some landmarks in Paris Greece Rome China Rio's Christ the Redeemer and so many others across the world The hour is being called the biggest hour for planet. Biggest! And it's meant to unify and unite millions of people around the world in celebrating our planet We were not unified with millions of people around the world once again I am so disappointed in us Even the local news doesn't cover this No, of course not I'm in California where you'd think this would be covered It feels like the climate change thing is kind of falling away

02:59 I did make a comeback. Well, Europe is now one of the three legs of the three-legged stool. Yeah... What's the other two legs? Well that would require me to play Queen Ursula. I don't know if you want to start with her right off the bat. Let's take a chance! Okay well, The Starfleet Chamber over there was it Starfleet Command what was It's the one that's in Star Wars, whatever that thing was. The giant... The Death Star? Yeah this is what it is. The EU represents the Death Star. There you go! You nailed it Yes, so the Death Star had a meeting

03:45 Then they all got together and here is Queen Ursula bringing us a report. And this is what they have decided for the 340 million people of Europe. Now it's only two weeks after we last met that you Antonio have got time for another meetup! But as here again today I think it was very productive meeting We discussed... Is that all she does by the way? What does she do for a living? She has productive meetings and uh, and she gets her hair done a lot. Yeah I mean as a hair guy i know what it takes to get that helmet of hair of hers done every single morning. She must have someone on staff to do that or two.

04:30 Come, Queen Ursula. Let me give you a blowout. Competitiveness and I presented our competitiveness compass with the competitiveness compass clean industrial deal. Ah yeah here it is clean industrial deal! And we discussed the three important cross-cutting topics The first is energy The second is simplification the famous omnibuses And the third is savings and investment union. And I think it was a very interesting debate because it was clear when looking at the energy prices that… What is this cross-cutting thing she's talking about? She said cross cutting. Yeah, no, that's in the last clip. These aren't too long actually.

05:17 No, she said it in this clip. I know but she's gonna explain it in the last... She explained cross-cutting? Yes yes Is that like intersectional? Totally and remember she also threw out an omnibus so pay attention When looking at the energy prices that the main answer to reduce energy prices is... Is? ...to go more into the low carbon energies, that is nuclear and renewables. I mean Germany just... Tell that to the Germans! Germany just got rid of all of the nuclear. Bring it back boys! Because this fossil fuels that we import are the price driver The second point, the omnibus indeed strong support

06:01 Not only to have one, but to have a whole fleet of omnibuses. What? A whole fleet... Does she think an omnibus is actually a physical bus? Like something you drive and there's like hey get in the Omnibus! Okay how many people can it hold? The wheels on the Omnibus go round and round Round and round Ohhhhhhhhhh The Omnibus! Oh now there's an end-of-show mix So the Omnibus is a big spending bill and it sounds like they're going to have a whole fleet of them. Good luck EU peoples! And then, of course there's the... this is the most interesting one which I'm still trying to figure out. I looked at their explanation They have an explainer of this but you tell me what this means? I'm just gonna set up by saying that I think they are going to take your money

06:56 And I want to reflect very briefly on the third element, the savings and investment union. Savings and investment union? Hmm... Here is very interesting that we are in Europe world champion what savings is concerned per year 1.4 billion euros are being saved mostly on bank accounts while in comparison for example the American household save 800 million billion yes and it is Not the European market that benefits from being the world champion in savings, but it is mostly other markets specifically the American market. Why? Well here's the epiphora! Here's the epiphora... why because there's nothing to invest in we've got all the cool companies and the cool stock market

07:55 Silicon Valley, AI, machine learning and quantum. It is mostly other markets specifically the American market why? Because the European capital market is still fragmented it's complicated and slower and the Savings and Investment Union has as a goal that citizens get more and better return on their money. Oh whoa this is good! The savings and investment union means that if you invest in their stuff, you get better returns. But also that the startups, the businesses have access to much needed capital and the capital will go where the business case is. In other words we have to make sure that this fragmented market turns into one savings and investment union with one set of rules

08:48 where you can everywhere have the same entry point. This makes it then interesting to allocate the money here in the European Union and this was one of the main focus in our discussion." Now, how do you parse what she just said? The savings investment union... What can that possibly mean? I think she means that they want to create a giant mutual fund Yeah based on war And they want everyone to put their money into this thing and it's going to be divvied up amongst all these companies that they're gonna decide upon. Yeah, and then they're going to cash... They are going to produce profits which will be returned in quote-unquote investors. The savers! In some form that will be better than normal interest rates Yes So take your money out of America and invest in Europe

09:47 Because they're doing good things with your money. Yeah, although there's no track record whatsoever. So it should be said pig in a poke is what we used to say. So now she gets across that all the slices and the horizontals and it's part of what I just see as central planning across all industries. There's another point. It's not only the cross-cutting topics that... The cross cutting topics! ...we have been discussing but we also look now systematically one sector after the next We started with the clean industrial deal that is the energy intensive industry and the clean tech industry. We have... Clean Tech Industry has never made any money anywhere! I mean, clean tech in what is it? What does clean tech? Batteries? Windmills. ...industry and the clean tech industry we have done the strategic dialogue with the automotive industry with an action plan. Action plan

10:47 It's an action plan! That's a Ron Blumism. We have an action plan for you investors, we're gonna make more money... Action Plan! We've done the strategic dialogue with the steel industry also with an action plan and now the next one is the chemical industry that will follow Zyklon B for everybody The principle is here that we are very clearly sticking to our goals For example climate neutrality by 2050 but that we accompany the sector on the way towards the goals to see where we can support, adapt, flexibilize be better. Flexibilize? Did she say flexiblize? She sure did! To see where we can support, adapt, flexibleize be better. Flexibleize! Oh yeah baby. This is a huge transformation

11:39 that the sectors are undergoing and therefore this is a journey that we're doing together. A journey? How's it a huge transformation, what's huge about it? Because they're doing it together as a union They're completing the project By the way on the last show she was saying In order to avoid war you have to prepare for war, so... Yeah. You had to be loaded up with war armaments. People emailed me a lot of people and said this is really it resembles the art of war from Sun Tzu and also like some Greek stuff. Now here fourth century Roman writer Publius Vegetus Renatus

12:34 To prepare for war you to have peace. You need to prepare for war Yeah, and they never had any battles those guys sounds good to me Well, they're gonna have the big meetup in the Hague in June That's when our guy mark Ritter will be doing he'll have a booth and it'll be He'll have booth babes and he'll be Kissing booths. It'll be selling stuff on our behalf now I'm this is none of this is good none of it so And then it seems like, I'm not quite sure if it's a buckling or there are some backroom talks taking place but Queen Ursula also said she is going to delay the retaliatory tariffs. Also on the agenda was Europe's need to boost competitiveness and innovation amid sluggish growth in the specter of trade war triggered by US President Donald Trump's tariff announcements. Hold on... They have tariffs on us?

13:34 So who started the war is questionable. Earlier on, the EU said it was delaying until mid-April retaliatory tariffs against sector specific targets in the US. EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said a decision was made to allow for more negotiations with the White House We are in principle opposed to tariffs we think that tariffs are bad... Why do you do them? Thank You! Thank you. Why do you have terrorists as your principle against tariffs? With the White House, we are in principle opposed to terrorists We think that terrorists are bad They're like Texas they're they are bad for consumers they are bad for business They're like Texas? It's like Texas Hi! Is it like Texas? They are like Texas there and they are bad for consumers they are bad for business

14:26 on both sides of the Atlantic without any question. We are in active discussion with the US administration on this issue and I can confirm that we decided to adjust the timing of the entry into force of tariffs, The impact of our response does not change." Okay so yeah i don't understand why she's saying they're bad it's bad for everybody just like Texas But yet they have them. I don't know, it's all very baffling to me and the silence of the Europeans is just deafening that I don't think they care anymore. I think the Europeans just whatever let it go what could be the bad coverage?

15:17 There's nothing, it's just word salad. They'll just go, oh yeah we're gonna do this something union. Oh yeah fiscal union, well I have a green industrial deal clean industrial deal industry is never clean It's dirty! It's just dirty so there you go aren't you glad you asked? I always enjoy listening to her. It's always better to watch her she she is level twerp honestly A small woman, do we know? Yeah yeah she's very tiny. She's petite...very petite. Hmm...Napoleon complex! So it seems that as the Democrat Party in the United States is in total disarray with numbers through the basement everyone just resorting to Nazis and stuff like that with their pals in the media

16:17 And it's wearing on me, John. I'm going to be honest It's getting tired. It's like how many years do we have to go through this? These people are delusional... I'll start us off with Chuck Schumer Senator Chuck Schumer from New York on The View because that's where you go to talk to your delusional dems The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be and that's why were fighting them so hard Kettle of fish? Yes, it's a different kettle of fish Where does that come from, kettle of fish? I don't know why that even became a phrase. It's a different kettle of fish... It's a different pot of stew, it's a different cassoulet. Yes! Cassoulet! It's a different bean salad, it's a different... I mean there is a lot of things. Why kettle of fish? Who makes a kettle by the way of fish? Most people saute the fish Is a different kettle of fish than it used to be and thats why we're fighting them so hard

17:18 They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people. And you know what their attitude is? I made my money all by myself. How dare your government take my money from me? I don't want to pay taxes or I built my company with my bare hands how dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, the land and water that I own or my employees. They're playing them off! Government's a barrier to people. A barrier has stopped them from doing things they want to destroy it we are not letting them do it and were united Yeah, we're united. Woo! Yeah. I have a... You should play that delusional clip. I have to play this then. Okay This is Rosie O'Donnell Oh yes, yes. She went on an Irish... Everyone saw this. She went on an... you saw this? Yes. She went on an Irish talk show and talk about delusional. I'd like to know where any of the... Where do you get this perspective?

18:23 You know, a lot of people did vote for him. Yes Do you accept their right to do that and their opinion of him? Well I respect their right to do that. I question why the first time in American history A president has won every swing state And is also best friends and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the internet Is that Al Gore? Oh no, he just invented it. So Elon owns the internet. Yeah this is kind of out there Madame O'Donnell So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else That happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris Was filling up stadiums with people who supported her and Donald Trump was not able to do that so It's curious to me. And as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to

19:22 look at all of the reasons why this happened in our country. So for the first time in history, well for one thing swing states vary from election to election but Ronald Reagan won every swing state if there were any at that time I think he won every state except Minnesota or not sorry except Massachusetts And so he would have won every swing state. I think this is very common to win every swing state, but... What is wrong with her? Well... The guy who owns the internet or runs it what did she say? It doesn't make any sense at all! Umm..I watched the whole interview actually and now she is renouncing her US citizenship She has applied for Irish citizenship You don't have to you know if your Irish

20:13 You don't have to renounce the US citizenship. That's a symbolic gesture if she does it Because I know plenty of guys, our joke writer, our official joke writer Marty Higgins has got an Irish passport because he's Irish. Is Marty even alive? Where is his jokes? Yeah where are his jokes? Where are his jokes man! Well the way i understood it she's renouncing her citizenship but yet she ends with our country so I don't know exactly what what she wants uh but I pulled one other clip from earlier in the interview which You know, this is the work we do on your No Agenda show. And here's her answering why she left and it may be even more puzzling than what she just said in this clip. You stuck out the last Trump presidency. What's different about this one for you that made you realize you're out? Well right away was the problem with Project 2025 which The Heritage Foundation put out

21:14 And it detailed what they wanted to do. I read the whole thing and besides it being very tedious, clearly it was about 80 pages run through chat GPT everything was flowery but there wasn't anything really crazy in there that I can recall And I felt that anyone who read that would not be able to sleep as an American. I was able to sleep, John What type of stuff was in there? Well... I slept just fine! Oh no! The stuff that was in there was yeah closing the Department of Education and sending it back to the States but I still slept okay. Well gutting all of the social programs All of them Just the other day he

21:59 disbanded the Department of Education. You wanted to say disemboweled, did you notice that? Yes is the Department of Education a social service I would say if it's anything it has to be a social service because it does nothing else about education so what else could it be And I have a child who has autism and that child will be... Trump hates autistic kids. He hates them so much he wants to figure out why there's so many of them! Denied services and many, many autistic children because the funding for these programs for special needs children comes from the federal government as well as the states Never used to. It's going to be disastrous When i was a kid- Stop the clip

22:46 So when I was a kid, I went through my entire education including a degree from Berkeley without the Department of Education existing. which it only became in play in 1980, 1979-1980. So I went through the whole thing that we had special education we had programs for people that hadn't special needs that was always going on and quality of education was better back then In fact when I went to University California which still galls all my kids I didn't pay anything, it was free. I was a California resident, I qualified to get in and had high SAT score and why waltz right in? Now its cost like $70,000 dollars a year what changed? Do they have an endowment the Cal Berkeley they must have a huge... Sure they do all these big schools do Yeah I wonder how big is there must be huge It's not as biggest The big one is Harvard Is huge isn't it multi billions

23:48 Well, even though she says it comes from the federal government as well as the states but that was her reason to leave the country. For these programs for special needs children comes from the federal government as well as the states and it's going to be disastrous for children on this spectrum And that was terrifying, but the biggest reason that it was different than the first time he was in office is because of the Supreme Court giving him ultimate power. The powers are the king or a monarch and that's not what the United States is all about and it's a terrifying prospect. In fact what has happened since he's taken office has been terrifying I think for the world and definitely for the United States of America

24:34 Yeah, could everyone who's terrified please raise their hand without talking? You know I don't understand. I find it kind of sad although it's great for this talk show! I've never heard of this talk show and I'm gonna watch this talk show now yeah the talk show is interesting so If she leaves... It's kind of baffling how somebody gets themselves worked up into something. You see it all the time Well, I mean no hold on Rosie O'Donnell is special because she's kind of become President Trump's punching bag throughout the years Yeah, well she asked for it yeah well I mean if the thing he's not doing anything to her No, the thing is comedians

25:19 always like to make someone else or something else their punchline, but when they're a punch line themselves... Oh step back. I think that's what's going on here and it's uh... Yeah, I'm sad to see her so angry. But I knew her when she was rosy over there at the... What was the place in West Orange in New Jersey? Chuckles, no not chuckles. It was uh Yuck yucks. No wasn't typical place chuckles. Yeah punchline it wasn't any of those And and you know she could have been the the Joe Rogan on the left But she had she's so sour when's the last time she told a joke oh

26:04 She used to be very fine. Well, she made a fortune on her daytime talk show which now she was pre-Ellen and the show was an ass kicker Doesn't she have to pay taxes when you leave the country? Well it depends I think... well not if you renounce your citizenship but then get away from having to pay taxes But she had a huge hit The thing is that it's a huge hit It was Ellen, pre-Ellen. And she was funny at the time and then something soured her or something happened maybe the autistic child which what she didn't give birth to Maybe her lesbian circle Oh hold on a second So basically she got a bad purchase

26:56 She's mad. I'm not absolutely certain, but as far as i know she never was pregnant. But she is in a circle of lesbian haters and it turned her sour. It's very strange especially for a comic. Chelsea yes adopted by Rosie and Kelly as a baby Anyway, it's too bad. And she was funny. She was funny back in the day Okay Let's just stick with the topic for a second So this is the part that gets really tiring is when there's just this Constant anger and everyone's angry and everyone's losing their minds. Let me play some of that sound from CNN These town halls this week Town Halls I support Elon Musk and the Department of Homeland Security Next question

27:58 Look, just in case you didn't pick this up. That was Nebraska and Wyoming that you talked about 80 20 issues what they're doing with doge is by far one of the most unpopular things that Donald Trump is doing? No I think it's popular for many people but I think what you're seeing is Democrats organizing at congressional town halls I mean, all the polling says— No! All the polling says that voters do not support drastic cuts. They do not think Elon has the expertise to do the cuts. I don't doubt the polling. Wait a second. They don't even dispute that the government should shrink. They just don't like how it's being done.

28:49 My point is you played a video of a town hall as though it's evidence of some broad anger that's out there And it's not this is what happens every time. There's a Republican majority in the house the Democrats organized They go to town hall they go to town halls they organize that they get loud, they get viral moments I love Abby Phillips saying our party has not organized aren't you supposed to be at a news model? But then this guy, he... I think this is a slice of it. That's a good catch now that you mention it. It's CNN! Surprise

29:27 But then this guy, Jamal Bowman. I think he says something that could get him in legal trouble That's not true and this shows again the American people do not trust Elon Musk And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position and how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people It was challenged in court The court said the people have to go back and now the people are coming back He's incompetent. He's a thief. He's a Nazi and people don't trust him I think that's actionable. Well, actually Musk tweeted about this specific thing and he says he's taking him to court for slander. Yeah you call him a Nazi? Well no, thief is actionable. You can't call somebody a crook or a thief

30:16 Unless you make it very clear. I mean, it's possible that...I think there are ways to do it but generally speaking you can't. Not like that! And I tell people just avoid those sorts of comments. Yes and we have been very... You can call somebody an a-hole Yeah because that is provable Well no, its one of those things where Okay, Mr. President, prove to us that you're not in a hole! I mean nobody wants to go to court to deal with that Shall we listen to a supercut of the media before Elon bought Twitter and before Elon? This is a classic These are good And I would argue it's the new Jesus Christ of our era

30:58 are Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and it's important to have heroes. The 47-year old engineer has been called the real life Tony Stark better known as Iron Man. Elon Musk aka Real Life Ironman. The guy is brilliant he is a genius and at least for now the world is better off having Elon Musk in it than not. Elon Musk is one of the most interesting people in America In the world and I guess in the universe Elon Musk is doing things that may revolutionize transportation and climate change somebody as staggeringly rich and Staggeringly intelligent as he long enough. Yeah people this has there ever been a car salesman like Elon musk? Is is I think is beyond a car salesmen, I mean He's more like a you know A hero for for a lot of folks just today we were given a glimpse of something

31:45 something of a miracle at sea or as Elon Musk calls it Tuesday. Let's talk about SpaceX. Well, Kate the launch this morning was glorious speaking of wonderful out-of-this world incredible images from the first all civilian orbit around Earth a huge win for Elon Musk It's an amazing development that that's going on you got to give a lot of credit Elon Musk Elon Musk He deserves a lot of credit. Tesla founder Elon Musk says he knows the biggest threat to humanity and he has a plan An immigrant to this country cemented his status as a leader in science and technology whose name may indeed belong alongside those of Edison and Jobs Put another way, Elon Musk today showed the world how it's done

32:31 Edison and Jobs yesterday, Hitler and Mussolini today. This is why the media is just not trustworthy by the way Rob the constitutional lawyer says it's defamation per se I don't know why he says per say its lawyer talk. What do you mean? Yeah yeah no I know what he means. Good. It's defamation per se yes per se Whatever per se means. Although this is an interesting moment because I'm just going to have to say it again, AOC she has a shot! She's got the look, she's got the energy...she's got an old sidekick

33:19 Now she was in Denver and the people loved her. With Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touring the country, Denver delivered a loud message of support. In the hundreds of rallies that I have done We have never ever had a rally as large as this. An estimated 30,000 people filled Denver Civic Center Park Friday night. This registered independent voter came from Durango. You know he speaks for all of us. He speaks for inclusivity. He speaks for human rights across the board. Sanders and AOC railed against President Trump Elon Musk and widespread cuts to federal programs and employees. This nation was built by

34:02 And we're not going to let a handful of billionaires run the government. And our political system is ill-prepared for this kind of abuse of power In fact, much of our political system enables it. But both also had pointed comments for Democrats. There is today profound disgust at both political parties and that means communities choosing and voting for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class. Dumbling down on progressive goals like Medicare-for-all, and raising the federal minimum wage rally goers we spoke with agree the Democratic Party needs to change We need more Bernie and less Chuck

34:56 We're not going to take it lying down, and we're gonna stand up. It's gonna take a big effort on everyone to quit criticizing each other and just coalesce on how is this movement gonna move forward in a way that will make everyone feel welcome? For Sanders and AOC supporters Fridays turnout is a sign that their message is a popular one And they say the right one moving forward Yeah well they got a big crowd real because this is the idea the party should not move toward the center but move more left. That's the reason they didn't do well is because they weren't progressive, they weren't communist enough because the public wants a communist government with Marxist ideas because that's what they want! Yes well that's what they want

35:46 And you know, so this is a new group. Well it's not a new group It's the ethical union and that you have these ethical unions everywhere in the world Have you heard of this group, the Ethical Union? No. So they were taking advantage of the situation and it's not just United States but we have far-right governments all over Europe so everybody was protesting throughout Europe and listen to this clip... More than 10 000 people gathered in Dam Square in the Dutch capital Amsterdam to participate in anti racism and fascism protests Just a minor point but The Hague is the capital not Amsterdam

36:24 but okay. The demonstration comes against the backdrop of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination... You can't make that kind of mistake and then do a report! Well, it's your mistake. It's Euronews so we let them slide. It is Euronews. Demonstration comes against the backdrop of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination... Another day we missed? We missed the International Day for Elimination of Racism. ...annually on the 21st of March Protesters held signs reading never again as they warned against the rise of the far right across Europe, drawing memory to its disastrous history in the 20th century. Now was Hitler a far-right John? Just help me remember

37:04 Technically. Based on the American educational system, Hitler was far right even though it was a National Socialist Party. But technically based on the teachings that we have received in our university system he is far-right Demonstrators also waved Palestinian flags in solidarity with the people of Gaza after Israel moved to resume the fighting following the breakdown of a fragile truce with Hamas. Protests also took place in France across multiple cities including the capital Paris as well as Lyon and Toulouse The French Interior Ministry says some 91,000 people participated in the nationwide rallies

37:45 Protesters voiced their rejection of far-right parties amid the rightward shift in French politics and the government's recent pledge to crack down on immigration. Protesters also waved Palestinian flags, and carried placards accusing President Emmanuel Macron of complicity in what they called an unfolding genocide. So these placards many professionally printed The ethical union. And so I looked up there's the American Ethical Union and you have ethical unions around the world, and it says we're a 501c3 So i go to lookup their form 990 always interested to see how much money they have can we find out where its coming from? Who is getting the big dough This organization is not required to file an annual return with the IRS because it is a church How about that

38:34 Well, that was an interesting workaround. Yes the American Ethical Union Inc is a church It's like churches that give credit I'll say it's the Church I can say the Church of Scientology I can give them it says the word church yes at least have church in it This has done sound anything like a church do they have services Is there a building where you can go to the church? They have outdoor services on the street with placards and placards. Sounds like a scam! Yeah, they need a cathedral as at least the Scientologists have a cathedral... What was that article you sent me about Pam Bondi being? I didn't send you an article I sent you a... Substack what was it? I thought it was a video

39:22 Oh no. It was a YouTube. No, I don't think it was a YouTube. Yeah Pam Bondi is very closely associated with the Church of Scientology in Florida yeah but she but I'm not buying...I'm not buying you're not buying it I'm not buying the fact that she's you know did they this guy has to get there though it was a video because it was a YouTube guy who said one of the guys who quit the Church of Scientology. Life's blood now is to bitch and moan about the Church of Scientology. When I did a radio show, I had the Church of Scientology people on every so often when they needed to explain something that was going on that had to do with tech in the news. Tom Cruise? Whenever Tom Cruise was in the news... If Tom Cruise wanted to come on the show no problem but you know the people who are

40:11 quit the Church of Scientology for one reason or another. And I think this guy that's running it, the church currently is not necessarily a good guy. I just can't get into it to be just a Church of Scientology hater and I don't believe Pam Bondi like a stooge for the Church of Scientology she just takes advantage of the fact that she will exploit their vote! Yes...and I think it's smart Church of Scientology is very interesting. I have, uh...I still have my E-meter. I have an e-meter! You have an e-meter too? In a suitcase?! It's in a suitcase. Yeah, it's huge! With the two really big electrodes you hold on to? Yeah. Some...I don't know who sent it. One of our producers sent it to me. We both got one

41:02 Yeah, I mean this guy had. I should probably just hook myself up to it during the show. It's a hell of an...it's basically supposedly kind of a lie detector? No it's not! Do they even use them anymore? They used to use them too. Well its not a lie detector, it's to see if you're clear. Its basically a lie detector And they put you in, I don't know if they even do this anymore. They used to be on the streets of San Francisco there'd be a bunch of people with the E-meters and it gave hey buddy! You wanna take that? Usually have a pretty girl who was a great bit. They had like a dynamite pretty girl with real nice eyes and then they hook into the E-meter and she'll stare at ya until you fell in love with her

41:46 And the next thing you know, you're a member of the Georgia Star or you're signing up for Dianetics. It's just an astonishing process that they seem to drop the ball on I have it here right here! I got the suitcase...I knew i had it in my...it says on the front Mark Super Quantum QUANTUM!!! Who would've thought? I'm gonna open it up Let me see How does it open? When you open it up a buncha stuff falls out No no no no how come I can't open it Because you're not a member. Oh, here we go! You're not clear... No, here we go it's open here we go yeah I have the instructions and everything? I haven't looked at it for years. I have uh..you know what oh this is interesting It has a little white thing in there looks like that's called the radio and they're being broadcast right now to the communists. It looks like a modern hard drive that you put in you know like flat

42:46 And it says calibration resistors, courtesy of Hubbard Electrometer Manufacturing. 5000 ohms! Oh my god... These guys are nuts. It's a cool device though Well, it was very effective at recruiting. No I think that was the girl with the nice eyes that was effective at recruiting Yeah well thats for sure And so uh... yeah So Pam Bondi's got this and they're trying to smear her for that and uhh Im not buying it Uhh

43:23 But it's good to know. So then we have an interesting position taken by the Trump administration to the attacks on Teslas And this evening there is news amid the growing number of attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships, arson and vandalism across the US There are multiple people under arrest tonight Attorney General Pam Bondi now calling the attacks domestic terrorism and what Elon Musk says the company is now doing Here's our Chief Investigative Correspondent Aaron Katursky tonigh Tonight, Elon Musk says his company is stepping up security after a wave of firebombings shootings and vandalism targeting Tesla. As part of the enhanced security Tesla is activating sentry mode on every car in the dealership that means security sensors and cameras are on and recording Watch as Sentry Mode is activated on this Tesla this week A man seen allegedly keying the car at a parking lot in San Jose was arrested and charged with felony vandalism

44:19 Today Attorney General Pam Bondi said those charged with destroying Tesla property are part of a wave of domestic terrorism. Prosecutors said a suspect arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails at dealership in Salem, Oregon was also armed with high-powered rifle. Prosecutors said another suspect who allegedly tried to set fire to Teslas in Loveland Colorado was found with materials to produce fire bombs And Daniel Clark Pounder accused of torching a Tesla charging station in South Carolina and spray-painting profane messages allegedly found with a three page letter voicing objections to President Trump and Elon Musk's federal layoffs writing, we will not stand idly by. So I looked it up the definition of domestic terrorism and it seems to fit

45:02 as it needs to involve acts dangerous to human life, that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or any state and appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population influence the policy of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction assassination or kidnapping and occurring primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. So I guess you can define it that way as domestic terrorism Yeah well that adds to the charges It's so odd though why people do this

45:45 It is odd. And the number of people that have been caught on camera, especially if somebody parks their Tesla in a parking lot they always have the cameras on. People don't realize there's like eight cameras on a Tesla that are just recording everything going around the Tesla and it's sending it to headquarters too so there's nothing you can do about... You know, you can't erase the tapes and I think that's what happens So they get your guy, he's walking by and he's going back and forth. And he's keying you know subtly or so subtle keying the car. It's like why? Why are you keying somebody Tesla it just makes I don't get it is what kind of nut are you yeah people should be taken off the street that's actually a very European type of protest to do that kind of destruction like destroying people's property That's what they do in Europe. That's not really an American thing

46:42 You know, we go out and wave our flags on their stoop and yell at them but we don't really destroy property. But yeah the Elon is amazing it's amazing the hate towards him... The New York Times wrote this big article SpaceX positioned to secure billions in new federal contracts under Trump And just listen to the opening paragraph Under Trump? Yes Within the Trump administration defense department Elon Musk space X rocketry is trumpeted as the nifty new way the Pentagon could move military cargo rapidly around the globe. In the Commerce Department, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service will now be fully eligible for the federal government's $42 billion rural broadband push after being largely shut out during the Biden era." And it's like

47:34 Do these people know that SpaceX has always been a government company? It always has been. I mean, it's NASA people who work there... They're not getting money from me! No well startling but that was always a military project And as a minor aside, the FAA really needs to do something. We know from our air traffic controllers that they have to sometimes resort to dial-up just to get weather data because their dedicated lines go down I think the Starlink system would be a big plus It's just all this hate... it makes me tired

48:15 I'm tired man, I'm tired of the hate. Oh you poor tired thing! I know it's horrible. Let me bring it...I have some clips that can bring the Christian out in you. Okay bring the Christian out on me all right? You mean that Jesus lover alright give it to me well I gotta figure out what these clips are mm-hmm empathy Empathy bad. And this brings Elon into the picture, this is a good series of clips People tend to think of empathy or caring about other people's feelings as a good thing But in some conservative circles there is growing chorus of voices arguing that empathy could be bad The fundamental weakness of western civilization Is empathy That's billionaire Elon Musk speaking recently on the podcast The Joe Rogan Experience

49:04 They were discussing the idea that unchecked immigration into Western countries is threatening Western political and cultural values. Musk agrees, and warns that societies are at risk of self-destructing. There's so much empathy you actually suicide yourself. Yeah So we've got civilizational suicidal empathy going on. Musk, of course is a close advisor to President Trump and the leader of the administration's Doge Initiative which is making massive cuts to the federal government including humanitarian programs at home and overseas Musk said empathy can be good, but it's too often weaponized to persuade well-meaning people to support bad ideas. In recent months several high profile Christian conservatives have been sounding similar warnings Oh this is interesting Well I'll withhold judgment until after clip number two But i may have to come in soon

50:00 Well, you're definitely a highlight of this series. You're a Christian nationalist? I'm a Jesus freak! I've never said that... You are a Christian nationalist. It makes it better for these clips. Okay, for purposes of this demonstration the part of a Christian nationalists will be played by Adam Curry But the almost needs to be struck from the Christian vocabulary it does empathy is dangerous and but the is toxic empathy will align you with hell as Hoisted up as the highest virtue or even a virtue at all I think that really gets us into a really big mess most people have a hard time imagining how empathy could ever be harmful and therefore if I'm the devil

50:45 Where am I going to hide some of my most destructive tactics? That was Pastor Josh McPherson on his podcast Stronger Man Nation, conservative commentator Allie Beth Stuckey on the Family Talk Podcast and author Joe Rigney discussing his book The Sin Of Empathy on a podcast hosted by Al Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Oh where's the Curry and the Keeper podcasts in this lineup?! New York Times columnist David French has noticed this discourse and wrote about it in a recent column called, Behold the Strange Spectacle of Christians Against Empathy. French says Jesus, the central figure in Christianity... Embodied empathy by coming to earth as a man and enduring the human experience.

51:39 French notes that Trump has cut programs long supported by many evangelicals and conservative Catholics, including funding for religious organizations that help the poor. So how do you rationalize this change? Okay hold on they're conflating a couple of things here working backwards cutting for the poor these were huge NGOs that were just, I mean even the Catholic, no the Lutherans even distanced themselves from the Lutheran charity saying we don't really have anything to do with that they just used our name after World War II. A lot of these groups use like the Catholic Bishops Conference whatever that means was just an NGO to take money to resettle migrants illegal aliens

52:28 Yeah, these were scams. Scams but Christianity as a Christian nationalist for purposes of this discussion empathy has nothing to do with Jesus compassion yes empathy is a psychosis where you take on another person's feelings that there's it has nothing to do with Christian nationalism Well spoken. Alright, Cope 3 and decrying empathy helps them do that. Some conservatives also argue that women are especially susceptible to being misled by appeals to empathy, often when it comes to helping people who are suffering or in need. Here's Ali Beth Stuckey on Family Talk

53:32 They'll use emotional, compassionate kind-sounding language in order to get a woman to think well in order to be good person or to be kind and even love my neighbor then I have to In an interview with NPR, Joe Rigney said he believes women are more naturally empathetic which makes them better nurturers. Rigney says they're also more likely to reject church teachings they see as lacking compassion. And in that kind of context, the empathetic sex is ill-suited precisely because of the ways that empathy can be manipulated into say refusing to draw lines or in the name of helping a oppressed group we're going to abandon our biblical confession or something like that What is the purpose of this piece they did? Because I find it fascinating

54:31 Empathy is literally the problem. That is, the problem we have in America is empathy. Toxic empathy? No toxic empathy. I didn't hear Ali Beth Stuckey say toxic. Somebody said it that report. The PBS lady said... Well the purpose is going to be revealed with a clip from After this that the series is are I think that was clip three. Yes, this is clip Yeah, we're finishing and then I'll play the reveal. Okay? I'm excited David French meanwhile I'm all Judy with it David French meanwhile says the idea that women are uniquely vulnerable to manipulation Ties in closely with Christian nationalism. Yeah, the idea that Christian men should run the country yeah, so you do have quite a bit of

55:23 literature in the far right, the Christian nationalist right that is decrying what they see as a quote feminized church. feminized political discourse. They say that America is a gynocracy, is what they will call it. Nobody said- Hold on a second! We were just talking about that in church today. Who ever said this? I've never heard the word in my life we've been doing this show for 17 plus years and I've never heard the term gynocracy. Did you say guy-nocracy or die-nocracy? No, guy like gynecology

56:00 Oh, gynoc... Female-oriented democracy. Gynocracy. No I've never heard this. GYN. Yeah no i've never heard this. Uh feminized political discourse? Wait hold on you've never heard it and you're the Christian nationalist! You should have heard this over and over! We should be talking about it in The Connect Center After church when we're drinking coffee. This gynocracy is just no good! They say that America is a gynocracy, it's what they will call it and that empathy element is part of their argument. Rigney says he wouldn't flinch from being described as a Christian nationalist

56:36 And I want society to be Christian. So, yes, I think it's true and good for the world and quite frankly good for religious minorities. I think that in many ways in the absence of that tyranny is inevitable." French says he worries some Christians have shifted from fighting for religious freedom to fighting for Christian dominance But when it comes to calls for public policies grounded in empathy, he acknowledges that everyone has to draw a line somewhere. There are times when the head has to overrule the heart heart. That is something that has to happen sometimes in public policy, but at the same time there should be no objection to appeals to the heart because our compassion and empathy is a fundamental part of who we should be as human beings." French says there's nothing really new about accusing one's political opponents of appealing to emotion rather than logic but he argues there should be room in our political discourse for both

57:36 Oh my goodness. So what this leads to, yes this is an anti-Trump thing well obviously it's PBS and NPR of course. Gee! What was the giveaway there? But the idea is that you know these heartless Republicans are they just they're heartless and that's the problem and this carries over...that was NPR so let's carry it over to PBS. That was PBS now we can go to NPR. No we're gonna stay on PBS then okay That was... Empathy Bad 4. Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether that may have actually been NPR but whatever. I didn't hear Scott talking so it couldn't be NPR No it could've no So let's go to Brooks and Capehart Oh okay

58:23 And so, because they'll boil it down. Now we have a toss to Brooks the supposed... you know he's supposed to represent conservatives they're both Trump haters. We have for the people out there that like PBS to give you perspective they're going to have two people on this called Brooks and Capehart that both hate Trump's guts. And so, that's the perspective... This is giving you perspective according to somebody in the back because I'm one of their producers. So, I don't understand how that works but okay here this is boiling down what you just heard. This is boiling down what's really going on and why with what they end with them but they're trying Drum home, here we go.

59:29 Oh! Will somebody please think of the children? That's the essence of what it is. The essence of doge... That's the essence, all that it's about Is starving children Yeah, that sounds about right. It's not about cutting government waste or crazy programs and costing millions and millions of dollars to taxpayers money. John, Doge is the Department of Gynecological Efficiency this is why we have to starve children around the world! And it's not about sending $600 million sent to Australian universities for this so they can do their research because Australia can't pay for it I guess? No, no, it's none of that. None of this crazy stuff

1:00:12 It's about starving children. Yes, starving them, starving them to die. Okay so that there you go okay that's really great insight that's the kind of thing that people actually give PBS money for but let's see here's the second half of that The second thing it is its cruelty and ruthlessness I've had so many conversations over last couple weeks with people inside federal agencies when the Doge comes to when the Doge boys comes account and they are naked in their cruelty, that this agency disagrees with Donald Trump. People here we don't like what you believe and we're just getting rid of ya'. And so that cruelty is kind of naked and to me it symbolizes something that is at the epitome of this administration these Doge people Elon Musk went to Penn The Doge people went to Harvard they went to Stanford they worked at McKinsey These are not populists

1:01:02 These are elitists. These are conservative micro elites who've been in elite universities, who play in the elite circles and they want to take it out on their fellow elites and that's what this administration become about a battle between elites not somebody representing the working class for problems that are real And this is why people are angry Yeah yeah that was K-Part at the end joining into agree Of course That's why people are angry because it's a battle between the elites. This kind of commentary which is on PBS NewsHour is pathetic! Well allow me to give you some perspective from a white Christian nationalist, let's just call it what it is John as you already said. Empathy does not enter the equation

1:01:54 Following Jesus means you're filled with kindness, love, mercy, humility, forgiveness compassion and of course faith. And that is empathy is antithetical to Christianity or whatever you want to call it in fact many many white Christian nationalists have a problem with Elon in this regard because he calls himself a cultural Christian. So that's like, nah... He does? Yes oh yeah he calls himself- What does that even mean? Well that means that he's filled with everything but he doesn't really believe in Jesus and the resurrection I guess. Umm..I will say two other things that are being discussed in white Christian nationalist circles one is that

1:02:42 And this comes directly back from the guys who were in the faith office. You saw that all those, everyone was praying over President Trump? which includes David Barton, these are people that actually know. And they all come back and say you know Trump really did have a radical transition when the bullet missed his ear and he so he's really a brand new Christian President Trump. Then the second thing which means that you're a baby Christian you got a long way to go but it is a good start

1:03:18 The second thing is people are concerned. I find this to be quite interesting People are concerned about the the faith office Which did that ever exist before an office of faith of the Faith Office in? Indian administration was that totally new to Trump do you know I have no idea People are worried about it because Because well we have people white Christian nationalists the people I speak with People at church. Well, you know this is really great but what happens if we get a president who's a Satanist? He could then bring in the Church of Satan into the office... You mean like Biden? Exactly! So I still don't understand exactly what the point is of this

1:04:07 Of what? Of what they're doing here with NPR and PBS other than trying to say you're not being a Christian because you have no empathy but that's just it's bullcrap. No I don't think that's what the message is, I think the message is Trump and Elon are cold-blooded haters that are just trying to starve children because this is what you want! You want to see their kids die Okay, well there's... And Rosie O'Donnell had the exact same commentary. She thinks that they're out to get her autistic kid. Her autistic child yeah well you're right! Think of the children yes and that is it's always old people children and pets although pets seem to be doing better in America I mean that's what got Trump elected we all know that but got Trump elected? The pets

1:05:01 They're eating the dogs! That got him elected. That got him elected. Yeah, you know there's an element of truth to that. That got him elected. It didn't hurt as for sure. No but this is why as a white Christian nationalist I always say when you play these TikTok clips of these insane people I always say well and I pray for them they need prayers. I'm not angry at them. They're just under dark spiritual forces. They're under a spell That's what it... empathy! Empathy, I think creates spells. And that's what... You're just good you okay? What? You're veering. I'm veering? Stay the course is what you're saying? I was okay before and shut up? Shut up. Alright alright. We'll be back on track. How about the people are just nuts all right well yeah they're nuts

1:05:57 So I have two clips here. I don't know if you saw this, but this was a doctor in Missouri and they were working on a bill, an estate bill to prohibit the transitioning of children and this is a lesbian doctor who is pleading, that they please stop this practice because she learned how destructive it was. And when you listen to her and it's a little ghoulish but it's important to hear it... You can understand that this is exactly what empathy leads to

1:06:32 When you're so empathetic, oh you must be a girl. Oh you must be a boy The things that they have gone to with children is absolutely outrageous Thank You representative for the question yes I was once an absolute true believer I trained judges within the state of Missouri around gender-affirming care. I trained all of the other divisions within the hospital setting... By the way, gender affirming care as we learned last week is emotive conjunction. Uh, i'm trying to keep an eye on these things now. ...all of the other divisions within the hospital setting around what is referred to as gender affirming care. I believed wholeheartedly in this protocol my spouse

1:07:21 is trans, who has now walked back her transition. She was trans for 13 years There were three aspects that made me come to change my mind Number one this protocol itself was built on regressive stereotypes and it's homophobic The first 70 children that were put through this protocol 68 of them were same-sex attracted. The entire DSM protocol is based on stereotypes about what sex behavior looks like, and most gays and lesbians in childhood do not fit the mold of what regressive stereotypes look like for sex behavior

1:08:09 Of the 71st children that were put through this protocol, one of them died. Because the protocol itself destroyed what used to be the way we would invert an adult's penis into a vagina. The puberty blocker itself makes the penis not grow to the point where that child was put through a vaginoplasty that used their colon instead and they died of a massive infection. Mengele would be so proud of this, you know I like the thesis that this is an homophobic movement yes that's the only thing that could catch on and put a stop to it exactly we're seeing more and more certainly gay men saying no no you got to stop this

1:09:01 A lot of lesbian women are also not happy. This is an example of one of them, except for Kara Swisher and so now we go into something that is related to empathy I saw a patient population go from four new intakes per month of children who are mostly pre-pubital boys 250 to 60 new patients per month and 80% of them were teenage girls. Guess what teenage girls have in common? They are absolutely susceptible to social contagion, this occurred right when COVID lockdowns happened, right when we stuck one of these in all those teenagers phones and right when we saw all these girls watching videos, we actually referred it as TikTok tics

1:09:58 They literally were parroting and coming into our clinic with the exact same storyline that they learned online about what it meant to be trans. And then third, and finally was that I actually harmed patients This protocol itself physically harmed my patients To the point where i was sending children to the emergency room for emergency surgeries after they had their first sexual experience and their vaginas were ripping open. We removed the breast of a young woman who called us back begging to have them put on, she not only had detransitioned and was re-identifying as a woman she was also pregnant! And she literally told us that part of this identity for her was a social contagion." There you go... That's exactly what happened spurred on by nut jobs

1:10:55 And because of empathy and books about, oh my child is trans. How do I tell the neighbors? You know nothing to do with the kid we read the book yeah We read the book it was all about how do i deal with my political party how to deal with my neighbors how Do I deal with school how did you the skill at school board nothing about your child nothing just my kids trance And yes, that is... Only half people. Then you have the Hollywood elites. It doesn't help. Chalice Theron and Megan Fox with three boys that have transitioned to girls all in just a period of time. It's amazing! How does that work? Yeah. And she's like, this doesn't seem like a normal person. Yeah. Social contagion. Yes. Social contagion fueled by empathy

1:11:51 Empathy is powerful. It's very powerful and I think America certainly kind of fell into that Europe has always been a little bit that way We just kind of fell into it What do you think why do you think Europe allows itself to be destroyed by? Immigration that they don't really want empathy Ursula von der Leyen these kinds of people they they appealed to empathy day in and day out Imagine if it was you oh, can't you feel it can't you feel without feel like The whole the whole internet is one big empathy machine at least the parts that Elon owns according to Rosie O'Donnell Well, I think we made a point. Yes we did. I'm so proud of us yay How about some bogus and yeah? I got a couple clicks around the bogus it says biggest but since one bogus and

1:12:44 NIH grant. This brings up an Ask Adam in the middle of it, okay? The National Institutes of Health has terminated dozens of grants for scientific research projects related to vaccine use and hesitancy Researchers got written notices that their studies no longer aligned with the administration's priorities It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize research activities that focus gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and or explore ways to improve vaccine interest and commitment. Dr. Sophia Newcomer was one of the researchers whose grant was canceled, she's an associate professor at the University of Montana where work focuses on access to healthcare in rural communities. She spoke with Allie Rogan. Is that Joe's cousin?

1:11:51 Empathy is powerful. It's very powerful and I think America certainly kind of fell into that Europe has always been a little bit that way We just kind of fell into it What do you think why do you think Europe allows itself to be destroyed by?

1:12:44 NIH grant. This brings up an Ask Adam in the middle of it, okay? The National Institutes of Health has terminated dozens of grants for scientific research projects related to vaccine use and hesitancy Researchers got written notices that their studies no longer aligned with the administration's priorities It is the policy of NIH not to prioritize research activities that focus gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and or explore ways to improve vaccine interest and commitment. Dr. Sophia Newcomer was one of the researchers whose grant was canceled, she's an associate professor at the University of Montana where work focuses on access to healthcare in rural communities. She spoke with Allie Rogan. Is that Joe's cousin?

1:13:34 I don't think so. So they're gonna go on about that this research, you're going to realize that this is dumb research but there's going to be a missing piece of information and maybe you can identify it. Thank you so much for joining us, what was this NIH grant funding? My work focuses on figuring out ways we can improve vaccination services particularly for rural families and so for this specific project that got cut we were working to develop tools to measure the quality of immunization services that children receive. So you were looking at the quality

1:14:14 of Immunization Services, this grant cut was about vaccine hesitancy. Specifically they said how much of your research was looking at specifically that issue with vaccine hesitancy? Sure sure so my project involved analyzing existing data on vaccinations across the US And even though we were only partway through our project, we already had some important findings. One of the things that we are finding is that when children in the US fall behind or are missing vaccines a main issue are practical challenges to accessing high quality vaccination care. So while we did see that some under-vaccination in the U.S might be due to parental hesitancy

1:15:02 Practical challenges to accessing vaccines such as having clinics nearby that you can access, having a regular medical home for your child and having regular medical insurance are all also challenges in accessing vaccines in the US. Okay so how much money do you think was wasted on this idiotic study where you have to have where there's nothing there, it seems to me. This is just a vapid research project that doesn't tell you anything. You can go to the drugstore and get a free vaccine if you're worried about where you can get a vaccine

1:15:41 So how much money do you think was spent on this? Answer the question, go! Okay I will say 28 million dollars. Well let's play clip 2 In the next clip, I mean. We asked the Department of Health and Human Services about these cuts and they said in a statement that the decision to vaccinate is a personal one and funding would be better directed towards more urgent public health priorities. What is your response to that? So it's sometimes said that vaccines don't save lives vaccinations save lives

1:16:23 We have safe and effective vaccine products, but we also need to make sure that we have the medical and public health infrastructure. To ensure that high quality vaccination services are available in all corners of this country and high quality vaccination care looks like this All families, no matter where they live should be able to access vaccinations in clinics in their communities. These clinics need to be equipped with the right technology so that doctors and nurses can look at a patient's entire vaccination and medical history so that they know when to recommend the right vaccines at the right time

1:17:03 We want every parent and every patient to be able to have thoughtful conversations with their care team about vaccines, and to get their questions answered. And finally we need to be able to have the data to track and measure how we're doing with providing high quality vaccination care. Well there's no answer in this! What kind of Ask Adam is that? They never answer that question. The whole report goes on, these assholes at PBS... Heaven forbid that you tell the public what kind of money was wasted! That was kind of a borderline bogus Ask Adam. I mean, there's no payoff on this... Well it wasn't borderline it was a bogus Ask Adam but to make a point that the this is supposed to be reporting you don't leave out these elements why do you let what you only leave it out if it was ridiculous? It had to be some ridiculous amount because this woman she was an idiot

1:18:04 And so they obviously gave her, who knows tens of millions of dollars to do nothing more than look at vaccine data. Who cares? Well speaking of injections let's just call it injections I mean i had to go to a very reliable source to find out the latest on ozempic and like-minded types of weight loss programs. I'm sure you've heard about the venom that's in these things now Venom. Oh yeah, venom! Is it bee venom or snake venom? Good question! The Gila monster venom? Yes, it's the gila monster exactly let's go to the TikTok doc or as I like that what I have to call him the TikDoc. ...warning on Ozempic, Wigovi, Zep-Bound, Trulicity, Biota you name it all of them have a black box warning that this Gila Monster venom and the venom protein for those interested is called Xendin-4 E-X-E-N-D-I-N dash 4

1:19:00 Black Box warning is within 12 to 36 months you will develop medullary thyroid cancers of all kinds. Oncologists around the world after seeing my interviews about this drug being made from venom have told me it's not thyroid cancers they're seeing in all their ozempic patients, it's exploding breast cancer diagnoses in them You're going to see every form of cancer from these drugs. DA just added another warning that it causes gastroparesis, do you know what that is? paralyzed stomach for years. Meaning you will vomit every day for the rest of your life and there is a CNN article from last year says hundreds of thousands now have paralyzed stomachs that cannot be reversed four years after stopping Ozympic. Anybody with diabetes, this drug is promoted for diabetes it is published, it worsens and speeds up diabetic retinopathy do you know what that is?

1:19:57 You will be blind faster. TikTok Doc speaks! I like the Helo Monster Venom, you know that's not exactly Xendon IV but it sounds good it makes makes the Hodge twins go what? I think uh...it's a peptide, Xendon IV But These side effects, I think the big pharma and the M5M they're doing people a big disservice by not reporting on this in depth more properly.

1:20:34 I would say they're doing people a disservice. Yeah, because it seems like... Well let's think of... Hold on a second! Let me bring out my crystal ball and try to figure out why they're doing it? Oh that may be because that's all they do. Oh lemme see here comes is coming in clear. Pharmaceutical advertising owns the media When is RFK Jr going to swipe his pen and stop that Well, it's gonna have to be Trump that swipes the pen but when does it get recommended and when does it happen? Yeah. Here is my thinking I think they're going to use it as leverage for a while before they do it so maybe a year or more before they pull the plug on it Oh are they gonna threaten a little bit and get some stuff out of them first? Yeah That what I'm guessing because there no other reason What you think will come first

1:21:40 banning, which of course will be a huge... there's going to be a million judges because it's freedom of speech and blah blah. Will it be the banning of pharmaceutical advertisements in advertising in general or will we see the Epstein files? Which one comes first? Wow, that's a dead pool. That's a good one! Yeah Which will we see first? My guess would be the advertising. Yeah yeah probably right but I don't know if we'll see that either it's a hard nut man It has to be done Well yes What you just revealed with that guys clip this has to be done because we can't let pharmaceutical companies

1:22:28 Own the media like this. They own the media yeah, it's not good for the public health No clearly not and Kennedy promised us one of the things he promised you have the three needs in three clips that you have mm-hmm Which we should probably play again sometime? We don't to blame now okay One of the things that he promised was the Release is what I was releasing the data stopping the advertising and there were third one was going after the journals Yeah for Rico All completely valid. Yep Well let's go to Canada for a second before we dive in... Before I get a clip in, before we do that? Of course of course Because it came up in the conversation and just want to check out check it off the list Okay

1:23:15 This is the astronauts getting paid overtime clip. The two astronauts that you just helped save from space, they didn't get any overtime pay for all that extra time. They got $5 a day per diem for 286 days. That is fourteen hundred and thirty dollars in overtime. extra pay. Is there anything the administration can do to get them, to make them whole? Well nobody's ever mentioned this to me if I have to I'll pay it out of my own pocket okay i'll get it for us. I like that! I think that...I'll pay right out of my- is that all?! That's not a lot so what they had to go through and I want to thank Elon Musk by the way because think if we don't have him

1:24:01 That's our president right there. If I have to open it, I'll cut the check right now! Well okay that changes my Canada sequence to start with some grilling of the temporary PM Mark Carney, former... wasn't he the... Epstein Island guy. Yes! Epstein Island! Adrenochrome junkie allegedly Mark Carney He also was he the exchequer of the of the UK? Bank of England. He was the exchequer, was he not? I don't know if that was true...I thought it was the head of the bank in England. Oh maybe the governor of the bank. So he was grilled on some similar travel related items! You have not been elected in a federal election yet and you recently flew to Europe on government wide-body jet at the expense of at least half a million dollars so the question I have for you today is

1:25:02 And maybe I'll say this before I ask the question, these people around you all paid for that flight and you've not been elected yet. So will you commit to refunding these taxpayers for that flight? I'm going to allude to the question that was asked previously by Mr. Staples from the journal, and a situation we are in as a country which is we are in an economic crisis brought on by the tariffs put on Canada actual and perspective

1:25:42 One of the challenges... The economic crisis was brought on by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and you were his advisor at the time. I think he would find, I think you would... These people did not create that problem. I certainly, hey nobody in Canada created that problem. Nobody in Canada created that problem. The US government has decided to put tariffs on all of its closest allies. And that's what my job is... I'll take that as a no then? No, you'll take that as a very comprehensive answer to your question He's great! But what about the jet?! I'll pay for it out of my own pocket! I have a feeling he can pay for it out of his own pocket. I think Carney's done okay So we start with a Maple MAGA boots-on-the-ground Maple MAGA

1:26:29 Boots on the ground Canada, Adam and John we've gone full retard in this country. Pierre Polivarer, the guy running against our newly unelected WEF World Economic Forum PM Mark Carney has laid out a sound and solid plan to negotiate and find a deal with Trump while that PM no one voted for wants to fight! And put our elbows up every liberal politician is calling Trump names and stating we will stand up to this bully Every woke Lib Joe in this nation is full on in love with Mark Carney as is our media because our media receives hundreds of millions of dollars and stipends from the liberal government. Thus, yes 600 million thus they have a vested interest which is about 50 cents American thus they have a vested interest in keeping the liberals in power so if you ask the average Joe Pierre Polliver is a maple maggot Trumpian Nazi

1:27:23 Carney runs Brookfield, a huge asset management company which is said to have a lot of holdings in foreign oil. But Carney won't say what's in his trust. Carney is a net zero dude but he just repealed the carbon tax which was steadily creeping up higher and higher it was a liberal tax to begin with and now the party is claiming victory in eliminating it! The stupidity truly hurts... The plus side if Canada becomes the 51st state I can at least move to Texas but we But we have 10 provinces and 3 territories so it would be 60 states and three territories. Save us! So the most interesting... That was a good note, I saw it. The most interesting part of this is elbows up. Elbows up is there's two terms and unfortunately you won't hear the second term in this clip but they're signs people you hear lady talking she's holding a sign and her sign is hands off our beavers!

1:28:19 So this is you can't knock them for the creativity. Elbows up, hands off our beavers! A new rallying cry is echoing through Canada as Torontonians crowd is adamant Canadians are getting their elbows up. The phrase has caught the country by storm since Canadian actor Mike Myers brought it back during Saturday Night Live. It is now seen by many as a battle cry to push back against Donald Trump's tariffs and threats of annexation Fighting for this country is worth it. I would do it all over again and I think being here Is the best I could do at this point in my life to stand up for Canada This is a good rally where we're just saying like, yay We're not going to be treated shitty And its kind of like seeing other people who feel the same way you do Its community building El Bozo!

1:27:23 Carney runs Brookfield, a huge asset management company which is said to have a lot of holdings in foreign oil. But Carney won't say what's in his trust.

1:29:17 The elbows up saying originates from ice hockey associated with the legendary player Jordi Howe who famously used his elbows to battle for the puck. earning him the nickname Mr. Elbows in the process Canadians are gearing up for a fight both on ice and in the ballot boxes Canada's new Prime Minister Mark Carney is expected to announce snap elections to be held on 28th April Elbows, it's amazing they got elbows up from an American television show Well, yeah but does stem from a hockey player. Yes isn't that in the illegal move? Elbows up is that right? You can do whatever you want right bashing and everybody else on it. Yeah height sticking now that's ah yes

1:30:08 We love you Canada. We love you as Canada, we love you as a state doesn't matter. We don't want them as the state! You don't I do but i want at least Alberta give us Alberta. Well Alberta would be great but that's the last place it's going to go because that's the money. That's where all money is and then President Trump pulls a fascinating stunt which I think is very good for our economy He's not really talked about, but he smart because he throws in a you know. He calls the new fighter the F-47 so everyone can obsess over that instead of wow this was a company on the brink of disaster Boeing

1:30:51 And the president has thrown them the lifeline of all lifelines. A big win for Boeing as the aerospace giant secures the contract for what will be the next generation air dominance jet called the F-47, announced by 47th President Donald Trump. Thrilled to announce that... The Air Force says it will be the most advanced lethal and adaptable fighter ever developed designed to outpace outmaneuver and outmatch any adversary. Boeing's been sort of like drifting Getting this contract means they have to be a different company than what they've been. It's good enough- Aviation consultant Michael Boyd believes President Trump is well aware of the problems reported at Boeing, from 737 production delays to the door plug blowout on an Alaska commercial flight last year. He says awarding the contracts to the troubled aerospace company will force it to make major changes to safety and quality control. Bringing more oversight from me from the Trump administration they're not going to put up with excuses

1:31:47 Longtime Pentagon journalist turned defense consultant Marcus Weisgerber explains there have been years-long test runs of this upcoming sixth generation fighter jet. He believes this contract will bring decades more work to Boeing's fighter jet production site in St Louis, but that engineering or subcomponents could be built elsewhere meaning Renton's production facility is not off the table now the big question is you have to take this development program where they made a number one, two who knows how many prototypes and actually turn them into production quality aircraft. That will be the big test for the coming months and years ahead." I think this is a good move for America now keep them under wrap keep them under your thumb keep control over him like you can't you can't be the same old Boeing well what states are we gonna help out? I mean I thought it was gonna be big beautiful ships but it seems to be big beautiful airplanes first

1:32:43 I think it's great. Well, a couple of things one they haven't made i think they have made a jet for awhile the F-18 is theirs but the f22 which is the super that's Lockheed right? The Raptor? The 22 I think you have to look it up I don't know if its Lockheed or not but the F-32 no the F35 is Lockheed the F-22 I think is Grumman It's a joint it's a collab it's Lockheid Martin and Boeing Oh, the F-22? Yes. Well I don't know what Boeing makes on it. Whatever the case is... The paint job maybe? It's a super… it's THE jet of jets we won't even export them they're so dynamite. They're so good, the Raptor yeah But they are expensive and this F47 supposed to be better and cheaper supposedly, it won't be

1:33:34 But I think this has a lot to do with the fact that they can't get the new presidential, the big giant president jet finished. The new one. It's still not done? I thought it was done already! No there's... delayed and they can't get it right and all this in that. And- I wouldn't fly that thing first out. Let Vance fly that thing for a bit. So Lockheed Martin built most of the airframe and weapon systems and final assembly Boeing provided the wings, the aft fuselage. Yeah, Boeing wings are still good. And the avionics and training systems. I used to room with a guy who was an aeronautical engineer

1:34:15 when I was in college and he gave me a long lecture about the wings, the various type of... The flapping wings and the rigid wings and all the rest of it. And everyone believes Boeing makes terrific wings. I mean when it comes to wings Boeing's your company! And I wonder if South Carolina will get some business out of this or some other states? It'll be a beauty contest for sure but good that could be... The jet will run over I mean, this is a disaster. But President Trump's he took that even though he hasn't taken delivery yet so i'm sure he hasn't paid or at least not all tranches but the new Air Force One both of them went from four billion down to what did you get it down to? Well he had some he did some sort of a screwball deal which I think is why planes delayed

1:35:10 It was... So they can't over bill him because you know Boeing and all these guys, they like to say hey the price went up and your half way pregnant. You have now pay more money. No I think it was I think he said, I don't like the number 4 billion. You got to get it under four and they came at three... No under three he said. All right! I want under 3 and they came in 2.9 billion. We have a producer in the audience that will give us updated information because we're just yakking Well, I kind of remember this. Kind of remember this. Well, I can't find any. I knew we had a clip on it some point Trump Yes, we did. Air Force One It was a big deal at the time Yeah

1:35:53 So let's talk about Murdoch Media. Murdoch media, okay I mean who's gonna run it when the old man croaks? I think the old man is not running it now they always credit him with running it...I just don't believe it It's like Soros, like yeah Soros is doing it! He's not doing anything Soros! He has one foot in the grave that guy he's so old Alright, Murdoch Media. Is this Scott? I don't remember. President Trump can ordinarily count on the support of more conservative news outlets. But it's been tough to sugarcoat... There he is! Suffer and suck a dash!

1:36:40 President Trump can ordinarily count on the support of more conservative news outlets. But it's been tough to sugarcoat, nose diving... Man it's just like the jingle isn't it? It's been tough to sugar coat! ...stocks and consumer confidence trade wars and a looming recession. NPR media correspondent David Fokkenflik joins us now to tell us more good to have you David thanks where are we starting to see some of this pushback Well, let's set aside the never-Trumper right. Let's start with the most important part of the conservative press and that's the Murdoch media There are really four big parts of that There is a Wall Street Journal news section The editorial pages of the Wall Street Journal The New York Post And of course biggest of all Fox News All in various ways Some of it quite gentle some of it less so Are pushing back on Trump on this reflecting In terms of the Wall Street Journals I think rigorously reported News pages reflecting their own coverage

1:37:35 but also in the other elements, fulfilling their brand promise to various constituencies they're trying to take care of and also reflecting what Rupert Murdoch really wants which is to kind of gently ease Trump into what he thinks is the right thing. Predictable stable markets not trade wars How do we know this? how do we know that's what Murdoch wants We don't know that guys a mind reader This report is as bogus as anything I've ever recorded Well, let's hear the rest. So what are they saying? Well you've seen these big headlines in Wall Street Journal reporting particularly on fears about chief executives and finance chiefs and real concerns about how consumers are hurting up and down the household income levels and how they're accelerating fears about what they can do take The New York Post front page last week You saw this huge cartoon of Trump plunging straight down the incline of roller coaster headline buckle-up markets

1:38:29 You saw the Wall Street Journal's editorial page talking about tariffs. They called his moves on Canada and Mexico, the dumbest trade war in history a few weeks ago and sort of doubled up a few days ago repeating the line again. And then there is very gentle explainer by Fox News anchor Brett Baier explaining why tariffs don't really work the way that president claims that they actually end up hitting the American consumer And even Fox host Maria Bartiromo, a true Trump loyalist. Here's what it sounded like when she mixed it up recently with Trump's Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. I know you said you're not expecting recession but investors are on edge over the possibility of a recession this year after the Atlanta Federal Reserve said that its predicting a 2.4% contraction in the first quarter and of course President Trump would not- Wait wait wait say that again? A what?!

1:39:17 A what? The Atlantic Federal Reserve. 2.4% contraction?! Correct! And that's somebody who goes out of her way to frame things in the best possible way for Trump most of the time, she just got an appointment from Trump to the board of the John F Kennedy Center for Performing Arts Oh! Oh Maria can get me tickets this is good news You want tickets I've never been to the Kennedy Center have you No That would go too well I would go to a performance I wanna see nice ballet So the way they frame this in that little clip they took with Lutnick going, denying the two... Which is quite a retraction. It's ridiculous and it's just one off one Federal Reserve person said this Yeah And so they made a big fuss out of it They're trying to fomented This is the... Oh yeah because recessions are since we threw out the definition of recession They're just now just in your mind

1:40:21 Yes, it's true. So here we go with the end of this thing. And how have other pro-Trump outlets covered this moment? I think you look at the four D's defend, deflect deny disregard. You've seen that in a bunch of right wing pro-Trump outlets. No we saw the left wing guy kill the insurance CEO using those terms. Luigi it's Luigi talk! Defend, deflect, deny, disregard...you've seen that in a bunch of right wing pro Trump outlets Take Newsmax's Rob Finnerty he recently debated Ontario Premier Doug Ford about Canada's reaction to Trump's tariff moves

1:40:58 Is that fair? I think that Donald Trump just wants to get the best deal for the American consumer, even if that means some pain in the short term. There are other right wing and pro-Trump sites that simply are focusing the blame on former President Joe Biden for whatever's going wrong now or might in the future Well, what do you think the impact of this coverage will be? I think these things are both a leading and lagging indicator. They tell you where these outlets think their audiences are... What?! And in the case of Fox... What did he say? A lagging lead...? No! A leading AND a lagging! How can something be a leading and lagging? Well, it's Bollinger bands. Obviously! It's a new technical analysis you can put on the price of Bitcoin You have a lagging and leading indicator I think these things are both a leading and lagging indicator They tell you where these outlets think their audiences are And in the case of Fox, where they hope to get the president too Because few people know are watching Fox and media more closely than he does

1:42:00 Oh, okay. Yeah that's what he is doing all day. You know Fox acquired a podcast company this was couple months back actually it was February I think. What did they acquire? Red Seat Ventures well it's not really a podcasting company but its a They do technology marketing and support, and I think they also do sales for Megyn Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly. I don't know who else... So it's enough? Yeah you don't need much more than that

1:42:42 Well, going on this recession thing it's interesting that you brought that up with the Murdoch stuff. I have Good Morning America who were talking about a recession and they start with a definition A recession is part of the normal economic cycle right? It usually occurs every six to seven years and in a recession the economy just stops growing it actually starts shrinking for several months at the same time unemployment rises And there's actually a panel of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research who make this call. It's based on a number of factors, including hiring and consumer spending. Now today we've got uncertainty over tariffs, government layoffs falling consumer confidence all of that has some economists now raising the odds of a recession to as much as 40%. Even the Federal Reserve this week lowered its outlook for economic growth but they said the likelihood of a recession is quote not high

1:43:33 Oh, okay. What is... Not high 40% not over 50%, less than a half and half chance? Less than half and half chance. And of course the old definition used to be two quarters of contraction Well I'm glad you brought that up! Interesting and part of the conversation was how the recession previous recession impacted us all differently right and so if we were to slip into a recession this time how might it be different than what we've seen in the past especially for folks who are living would be living through a recession for the first time now. So there have been 14 recessions in the U.S since the Great Depression of 1929, and the shortest was during COVID that lasted just two months then prior to that the great recession remember up 2007 now that one lasted a year and a half it was painful it was triggered by the housing crisis

1:44:20 after banks gave risky loans to borrowers who couldn't afford them. That led a lot of folks to default on their loans and as we know it caused other financial problems. What was the... you posted on X about- It lasted year and half, oh no year and half yeah, year and half. You- that's about a year I think we both saw this and you reposted it? You reexit? You reslashed it on x There was something that we need to pay attention to, that was very similar. Oh it was the private equity, private equity, the CLOs... The private- Yeah well the private equity thing I think which Horowitz and I discussed is that these private equity operations are just basically raping the economy. Yes yeah so they buy up, they buy something like Joann's

1:45:18 Knitting factory whatever that is called Joanne's of yes The fabric fabrics. Yes, and then they saddle it up with debt But then the debt that they have is very short-term debt with variable interest rates And then they can't pay back and this has to start selling off pieces of the company but they've already taken their their fees and their percentages well Yeah There's also some but carry forward scam of some sort that has to do with taxes. Oh yeah, the tax loophole it carried interest. Carried interest? Yeah And so they get to make money on the deal and then... But the company goes bankrupt you have to bankrupt the company to make it work Well there's...but ultimately So I know that our HVAC company I think they were bought up by private equity because a lot of HVAC companies were bought up What? HVAC

1:46:08 Air conditioner. Air conditioner, heating and air conditioning companies. Oh okay! Yeah you don't have that in San Francisco That's why I don't know the term Exactly You just have a fireplace maybe you might need that and you got a fan That's all you have A fireplace and a fan It's freezing it's 50°C Yeah so spark up the fireplace So HVAC companies they've bought up a lot of these And i think also veterinarians, but the HVAC is interesting to me because we have two compressors. So if they go out of business or they make the companies go out of business because they have to sell off real estate or whatever inventory

1:46:52 Doesn't that create an incredible opportunity for new HVAC companies to just reboot and start up again? It doesn't mean like all of a sudden there's no more HVAC engineers, no more service. In fact, these companies took a long time to roll out. You just don't go from zero to 100. Right but... Start with one store then you got two then maybe four then eight maybe sixteen. My point is it doesn't have to be a huge conglomerate. It can have a Joann's fabric store in Fredericksburg. You can have one in Austin and you could have one in Berkeley

1:47:29 They don't have to be federated. It doesn't seem that hard to start a fabric store. Well, there's fabric stores in these same towns. There is a fabric store in Berkeley but the thing is it's not a mega-store. Joanns was a big store that had all kinds of stuff besides just fabrics. Yeah but maybe we don't need them? And then I got notes from people because we talked about this already and somebody said well you know the fabrics at Joanns weren't that good There are better fabric stores here and there. So it's not a loss then? It is not a loss. Well, if you were a Joann customer it is...

1:48:06 So the final clip from Good Morning America is how it affects, how does this affect normal people? And the reason why we wanted to bring you into our little hallway conversation is because everybody's always talking recession, recession, recession. But what does that mean like how does that affect the average person? Unfortunately millions of people can lose their jobs in a recession because businesses and consumers they're pulling back on their spending That means companies need to slash budgets lay off workers some companies if you have a job may cut pay They can eliminate a bonus It can also be harder to get a loan in a recession. That's because banks become choosier about who they lend money to, even if you have good credit and of course recessions also tend to be bad news for the stock market which means your 401k can take a hit This is why we have chosen wisely Recession Proof Gig Be A Podcaster You've muted yourself I'm not sure that was actually what i did...I don't know how that happened by the way it happens whenever you get the spreadsheet

1:49:15 When recessions happen, the donations go down. Yes So we're not totally... No no we just tighten the belt you know? We just tighten the belt along with everybody else I mean it's not the worst in the world It was in more than 17 years have we been through a recession yes Yeah, maybe two. We went right through the 2007-2008 thing That's right! That was the big boy. Yeah that was the best time for us remember Obama went there and said I need a trillion dollars? It was great. We went through the Covid recession actually we benefited from that one Yes although most of those people now hate us because you know we don't condemn Israel and we don't condemn Russia

1:50:04 The very same people have just... This is absolutely true. However, with that I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the C's in the cross-cuttings say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only Mr John C DeMoria! In the morning to you Mr Adam Curry, in the morning I was supposed to be business aggressive in the air so there were no names out there. In the morning to our trolls in the troll room hold on 1 second stop moving let me count you for a minute 23 2320 trolls are checking us out live at the moment and I will go to our... How much? 2,320 so i will go I will go to the tote board and yes that is 200 lower than our last Sunday which was 2535 it is just just above the 100 show average um and in general Sundays have been up 10.4 percent

1:51:03 For those of you on the prop base... I'm starting with Queen Ursula probably drove them away. Well, I did give you an out on that and we should probably stop there. Well, I was for it! I didn't mean that the listeners were. Well no, we probably shouldn't have done that The trolls are in Troll Room listening at trollroom.io or perhaps they are on one of those modern podcast apps Someone actually wrote me email says I'm always in the car when you're talking about where to get those modern podcast apps? I can't remember what it is Here comes podcastapps.com it doesn't seem like a tough one to remember podcastapps.com we are value for value which makes us not recession proof but it does make us rage quit proof there's always someone who is going to rage quit over something we said and usually those people didn't donate anyway so no they never know the number of people who are

1:52:00 are supporters, let's say. Producers' supporters When they complain to us about something or other, we pay careful attention to that. But the drive-bys... They just drive by you know? Or somebody told them somebody in their local Democrat party said here's the podcast you want to write notes to tell them that they're Jew lovers That's not true because the guy who was the last you called him a drive-by he had been listening since 2012 and then it was the first time he ever donated After we complained about him. Yes, but just because he said that I could and he just donated for the first time doesn't mean II have I'm skeptical I think is a list. I think is now He's a listener well because he's been called out

1:52:48 Well, also because once you donate or help to show in any way even $5 a month with the subscription donation or recurring donations what it really is. You are invested and once your invested then you'll be more conscientious And we got ya on the hook! We just have to reel you in It's all good People support us in many ways. And emails like our Maple Maga Canada note, I mean that's a great way to support the show to give us something of value to talk about we have the best hands down producers in the entire media landscape and the entire media universe there is not a single thing we can't talk about or that we could talk about someone out there isn't in that industry it's baffling how often happens

1:53:37 And so you can keep us they keep us on the straight and narrow. That's right I mean, yeah, right We just got a constitutional lawyer Rob just put in a straight Yeah, right during the show during this during the show and the trolls of course They help out as well they do that they do yo-yo? Yeah Well, they also just try to get my goat But they, no often that they'll correct like I said up a for it was hypophora you know it's like little mistakes Like that. It's good to be able to correct that in real time and they're just fun and they smell pretty decent No, yeah, they do They do we have many artists who participate in our grand bi-weekly contest

1:54:24 who can create the best art for the show that we will use in the mp3 file itself and... ...in the podcast feed, and we use it to promote the show everywhere. Now this was very interesting because the artwork that we chose for episode 1748... We titled that Brain Rot I did not notice until it was pointed out to me And it was brilliant, by the way. It was the steel porcupine strategy that Ursula von der Leyen talked about, that this is what they're going to turn Ukraine into a steel porcupine. So there were many steel porcupine images This one was great because it was a really nice picture of a steel porcupine It was sitting right in front on the Ukraine flag which made it... That was really the big hit But did you notice? That no agenda is not spelled No Agenda

1:55:25 No, I did not notice this. How's it spelled? It's spelled Noah Jenga There are two Gs in it and I'm trying to think... Oh you had the AI spell it that's why! That is what I think And we didn't even see it This is unbelievable Noah Jenga I'd like to look at now but there are generators down Are you kidding me?! Oh no! No, its' not down for me Its' down for me Well try again Maybe you misspelled it No, I've hit twice already Yeah, hit it again Hit it one more time. You must be missetting this. Let me hit it, let me hit it real hard It came up real fast for me so... Oh! My head! It's coming up fast no you're doing something wrong How am I doing anything wrong? Well because uh you know turn off your VPN

1:56:16 I'm not on a VPN. Okay, now second windows open still not coming up well that's interesting it's got to be a localized situation something do with my internet yes well it comes up fine for me and I'll just try and remind you of the things we looked at which was pretty much all porcupines there was Darren O'Neill did a chemistry set by the way did you know that chemistry sets they're illegal to be sold in in the state of Texas? Well that's because the kids in Texas are stupid. No, no they're not! They just make stuff that blows up we had... Why would you ban this is the legislature there these people that run Texas are not up to par well the people in the Senate uh they are up to par the people in the house they're basically Democrats

1:57:12 Yeah, and you got other Democrats from that state like Jasmine Crockett is from Texas. How does that work? Mac- who was it not Maxine Waters but the other one that used to be from Texas Listen this in Texas and only in Texas It is illegal to own any chemistry equipment without an explicit license from the state Furthermore, I can't even have a titration device or a pipette? A test tube. Is it pipette or pipette? Erlenmeyer flask No stop with your flask! In order to apply for license you must present a legitimate business reason for the ownership of the equipment. So podcaster would probably not be a legitimate business interest for a pipette...I'm thinking

1:58:03 Correct the record, had a steel porcupine. A blue acorn. Darren O'Neill of course tried it and that was AI stuff. Was there anything else? You used the big beautiful battleship so I blew acorn for the newsletter. Yes, I did. That's nice for a newsletter. It is kind of hard for album art because it is typically not very large on podcast apps. We'd love to know Data who did... Oh you know what? We missed it, but Data posted a fixed version of the steel porcupine correctly spelled later on. Oh! Well we missed it... Or actually today he posted it today. Yeah thanks for not bending me. So there you go that just shows you not only is AI stupid but we're even stupider than AI because we didn't catch it. We were so enthralled by the porcupine and the flag

1:59:07 that we just... Yeah, I think the porcupine also had bullets for hands or something. There's a lot of stuff going on. It was beautiful piece. So thank you very much Data. I did also get a note from our Triple J who had the artwork before that. That was The Flying Volkswagen, The VW Boomer. It was T-I-1 P-P-L-E-J Hi, Adam and John we are thrilled our VW boomer piece was selected for show 1747. Our artist name is supposed to be triple J TR exclamation point PLEJ But I clearly didn't check the typing before clicking submit We chose the name because there are three of us my girlfriend myself and our dog

1:59:53 And we all have names to start with the letter J listening since 2021 I hit my girlfriend parents and neighbor in the mouth We're excited to return the value of the show in form of our towns. Maybe even some treasure before long Thanks for keeping us sane with the show regards from Maine, Maine Oh man any having anyone from Maine is a win Triple J.

Oh ice it's right I see so he came in with $1200 and here's his note hello separate donations of seven and five My name is T Ryan Everett I am the studio manager of the new pot Angeles podcast studio in Port Angeles Washington all right I'm also an avid No Agenda listener and have been so since 2014. I heard through the grapevine about a podcast that might just interest me, so i did! I listened...and I didn't stop!! My brother Eric with a C who also listens knew I was a douchebag and donated $300 to make me an executive producer of show 1457 and dedouched me. My father passed away recently and left some treasure he wanted to share with you. Do you think that was in his will?

2:04:16 Maybe. Well, that's excellent! We need more of that. He says he wanted me to share... he left me some treasure that we want it to share with you the best podcast in the universe being close $700 is to bring me up to full night status The other 500 is to become a Commodore as I would like to be T Ryan Everett Commodore to the port of the Angels I would also like to be knighted as Sir Tim from Squim and I would like Korean barbecue and Red Dragon at the roundtable And he goes on to say, I recently watched a documentary about heroes and why they jump into action while others just watch. They found that heroes have a larger amygdala than those that just watch them." Hmmmm...

2:04:57 Hmm, interesting. There's also one other thing that goes along with this donation I feel it's time and I believe Mimi agrees that the Podangelo studio is ready for business! I'm excited and willing to learn from the podfather and The Tech Grouch as they truly have the best podcast in the universe And it also gives me the opportunity to steal and save Adam settings on the Rodecaster Pro 2 Oh really now? You think you're gonna-you think 1200 bucks is gonna get your s-my settings? Hmm You get a settings for free. I want to piece of that out, I want a piece of that pod Angela studio deal

2:05:35 You should give me some shares in that. I also must disagree with four more years because i believe perfection has no time limit! You owe it to your producers and your fans around the world! Humbly, T Ryan Everett Sir Tim from Squim Commodore of the Port Of Angels Alright, I will have your Korean barbecue lined up and I already ordered The Red Dragon And thank you very much soon-to-be Sir Tim from Squim There's a funny story about Mr. Kim, he's talking to Mimi and he says you think Adam is going to come up and visit the studios? That was Mimi's reaction. That is pretty funny!

2:06:15 Why would I do that? Give me a piece of that outfit. That's what I said too, that was my reaction to the second one Yeah you should give me like 5% founder shares You get some action Oh yeah, I want some back end Harry Seward or Sea War Make me whole on this deal Yeah Woodstock Georgia 103 342 that's good Very nice. I'm coming to you from FEMA region four with hat in hand and asking forgiveness for 4.5 years of douchebaggery, first discovered the greatest podcasting universe in the 2020 election.

2:06:56 I finally made the long overdue donation to the show in the amount of 103,342 and we'll be starting a sustaining donation each month which is a good idea. Very good. We've lost a lot of our sustaining donors. Yep If it would suit the peerage committee, I'd like to be instant-ited as Sir Harry Seaward of FEMA Region 4. I would love some need a de-douching with you. You've been de-douched! Now is that seaward or seaword? That's the question. Seaward i think its sea ward. Oh, sea ward. Sea ward okay. Not just a C word. It's W A R D... Ward

2:07:40 A note to fellow listeners, if I had made a recurring donation of less than $2.25 per show... That's two dollars and twenty-five cents. Two dollars and 25 cents a show since I started listening, I would have been knighted awhile ago and could have avoided 4.5 years of bowel shaking guilt! Don't be a Harry Seaward. I would also like to request emergency health and jobs karma We can do that the health Karma's for my mother Possibly the sweetest and most generous woman who has ever graced the earth she's 81 And very healthy, but was recently diagnosed with this This I can't even pronounce this we saw a cell carcinoma encasing her

2:08:26 core carotid artery that is wrecking wreaking havoc on her body. It's causing her to pass out unexpectedly. That's no good. Going into a-fib? Going into A-Fib and she's currently only able to get pureed foods and drink Thick liquids, this job's karma is for me as I need to find a new role that will allow me to spend more time with her and help care for he. As a dude named Ben named Harry, another dude named Ben, with nearly 30 years of IT experience, I have few good leads and I am confident that some karma from the No Agenda Nation can push me over the top jingle requests or eating the dogs

2:09:12 due to climate change. Yes, and for you and for your mom I will add in some white Christian nationalist prayer They're eating the dog! Due to climate change Jobs jobs jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs! That brings us to our next executive producer John Fehlman Fehlman f-e-h-l-m-a-n Fehlman Hello Fehlman Thank you all for the amazing work that you both do. This is my second time donating, but the value I've received through listening to you both has been much more valuable than what I have been able to contribute so far." A lot of people say that but we understand. You both were instrumental in helping my family and I remain sane during the lunacy of the COVID years like we're not in lunacy now We knew there was something off with a messaging machine of the M5M and y'all were vital in showing us it was nonsense because you because you both kept the receipts

2:10:07 This donation brings me to knighthood, so please knight me Sir John of the North State. I request Lagunitas Hi-Fi Cannabis drinks." I've never heard of this... Is that what it's...?

I want to mention and thank Robert Majors for sending me a big bag, giant triple bags of Hawkins which are also called Cheezys from Canada through Amazon. It's like a Cheetos or it's like that extruded cheese thing that we make in this country only its made with real cheddar. You mean like Cheetos?

2:11:30 Cheetos, you know? Only the substrate I don't believe is as good as the product we get. I love the term substrate! I think that should be used more often do people even know what substrate is anymore? It's the underlying architecture Yes, substrate fantastic word Word of The Day So these Hawkins, I guess they don't advertise. But I've been to Canada a lot and never seen this product When's the last time you were in Canada? Well it was years ago but besides the point these Hawkins have been around forever! I hear things have changed... No, I don't know that doubt it but this donation comes from Sir Anonymous and he sent me a piece of paper with his letterhead says Crackpot & Buzzkill on it Oh thats his letter head? That's interesting

2:12:19 He's a donor, he has been around for awhile. A donor? For the show...he got a long note but he only wants this to be read.

2:21:37 We go out, we hit people in the mouth. They're eating the dogs! Shut up, Steve! I have... No, go ahead after you sir. Let's do a series of clips from PBS on... because i think this is show title Deep fake nudes. A new report offers a troubling look at the latest digital threat to young people, deep fake nudes. These are realistic photos and videos that have been altered using AI technology to depict the subjects in sexually explicit situations and then spread online. Stephanie Sy spoke with Melissa Strobel she's vice president of research and insights at Thorne, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children online

2:22:38 Melissa, thank you so much for joining us. Before we get to these findings could you start by just explaining what deepfake nudes are? Absolutely! So deepfake nudes are synthetic media creations that depict a real person in a sexually suggestive or explicit situation or activity What were the main findings in this report who was impacted the most by the creation and spread of these deep fakes So what we heard from young people in this survey, and we surveyed about 1200 13 to 20 year olds is unfortunately this is becoming all too common of an experience within their landscape. And growing up in particular one in eight told us that they knew someone who had been particularly targeted specifically targeted by an impacted by deep fake nudes

2:23:29 On top of that, we heard that 1 in 17 themselves had been targeted by deepfake nude abuse. Now sometimes that number can feel a little bit small one and 17 That's a small percentage but when we think about what 17 looks like in our communities That's the size of our kids' classroom. That's the size of their soccer team, so this is really far too high a number for kids to be experiencing this type of victimization." I like the topic...I do not like it as a show title! I'm just going to tell you right now Deep fake nudes you don't like as a show title. No, it's not gonna be a show title I can do about it. You're gonna veto it no matter what I do yes That's correct. I'm vetoing it and pre vetoing it but I don't know why you have to announce that on the show itself Well, I'm gonna tell you why when you're done with your clips. It's a here we go Okay, by the way let's stop this stop the shows there's three clips here Yes This is nothing even remotely new

2:24:34 No, the day that Photoshop came out I don't have the exact date but i think it was in the probably the 90s early 90's or maybe late 80s could look that up. Immediately somebody would take somebody's head, because you can easily take a head off of somebody with the Photoshop. Cut the head off and put it on a nude body and have them doing something whatever the nude is because there has always been porn around that you could drop someone else's head on. It is not a new thing. And I know people were complaining about they've had to pass laws long before AI came around to keep people from doing this and then posting them as a revenge porn, it's usually called. Well since you stopped the show for this commentary... Yes that is true but the speed and ease at which generative AI which is not to be confused with agentic or quantum

2:25:31 It's too easy, so it's just so simple to make it and the life likeness of it is pretty good. You don't really need the skills that were previously required for Photoshop and if you hear the numbers they're quite staggering So it's nothing new, but it has gotten a bit out of control. Okay I can accept that but it's nothing new No And the other thing is I think the kids are aware that this is bullcrap when they see these pictures Well They must be aware of the fact that these pictures are fake Yeah But the harm that is done to children When its passed around

2:26:15 For my money it comes back to don't give your kid a phone, don't let them on social media. Don't let them take pictures and post them of themselves you may think is what the kids do right now but you know... That's been that policy too And this has been your policy for as long I've known you? Why would you do that? Yeah, it doesn't make sense. Okay on flip you the other important thing that came through here was about the availability of this technology and For the kids who told us that they had created deep fake news of someone else The technology is really readily available It's available through social media through browsers and through app stores

2:26:56 But the good news is that most kids realize this is a harmful behavior. And so there's a lot of opportunity for us to be having conversations with them and reinforcing those perspectives. You know, one interesting part of your research that I read were the responses from some of these teens even though we call these manipulated images deep fakes in a way they're very real right? Especially if you're a victim of deep fakes Yeah, very true. For those young people who've experienced deepfake nude abuse they have shared with us stories of severe anxiety fear shame as well as worries that they won't be believed or that their experiences will be dismissed

2:27:39 because of the involvement of AI generative technologies. What is being done about AI safety right now? What should be being done, because we're basically talking about minor sexual abuse. This is absolutely right at the end of the day whether AI generative technologies was involved or not an explicit image of a minor is still child sexual abuse material and that's really important starting point I'm trying to sentence what should be being done. I mean, that's a very well as you can PR I'm trying to create a deep fake nude of you with grok while we're doing this story and Grock is creating images But it's not what I'm asking for once you do one of yourself You got a lot more photos online than I do It's more fun. No, I want you to I want you to see What is like?

2:28:37 OK, we'll go to clip three and then we'll look at it later. There are responses across the ecosystem taking place for example our organization has been working directly with tech companies to make sure that these models are being built as safely as possible and if they are aware of abusive models that those are being made unavailable so that they can't be so readily accessed But there's a lot more work to be done. Right now we don't have a consistent institutional response that is reinforcing what kids already suspect, and that is an opportunity where we need to lean in and offer more guidance for kids." In the meantime, what should parents and other caretakers be doing to make sure their teens are safe?

2:29:23 Having really open and early conversations with the young people in our lives is going to be one of the most important steps we can be doing at home. Make sure that kids understand this is not a joke, it's not funny and carries real consequences for the kids that are being targeted. Naming that openly and directly at home is an important first step But we can be doing more for other adults within our communities, such as within schools. There's a lot of need for there to be clear guidance within schools for their school bodies that this is not permissible behavior. There are student handbooks in place that address things like harassment

2:30:02 This is something that we can lean into and acknowledge this type of emerging risk, and have policies in place that make sure that schools are prepared to respond in a victim-centered way. Now was there any other substance to this report before you cut it up? And I have a reason for asking... Not that I know of Did they at any point mention the first lady of the United States Melania Trump No. This is why it's not a good show title, this is her actual issue she had a huge roundtable the president introduced it I'm thinking maybe three four weeks ago she supporting a bill that aims to stop AI generated nudes its called the take-it-down act

2:30:48 And it's literally... I thought there was already a law that required you to take this stuff down. No, no they never got it passed. They never got it passed and this is supported by Senator Cruz also Amy Klobuchar so it's bipartisan Meta even has come out and said that they support it and It literally is called You know the problem is called deepfake nudes Not surprised, but shocked that NPR would not take the time. Well, now would you bring that up? Yeah. To mention that this is the first lady's issue... This is a classic example of them not telling you certain things it's like they the clips I played earlier where they wouldn't tell you how much money was being squandered on that stupid study on vaccine hesitancy yes why didn't why wasn't that mentioned and what you just said should have been mentioned in this report absolutely as the kicker yep no

2:31:48 No, they can't do that because then all of a sudden it's the Trump thing and no one will want to pass the bill. This NPR and PBS at this point in history is just useless Yes so are we just going to stop playing clips from them now? I'm sorry the mics not working. The speakers aren't working Hello? Is this thing on? So I'll pivot from this into a little bit of AI talk here for a moment As it seems the whole world has now gone agentic AI.

2:32:23 which as far as I can, and many people have emailed me about this and I appreciate it. It's really machine learning so they're just saying it's AI or say is a eyes are sorry. And but it's you know the machine goes in finds a form understands the question fills out the form for you and this brings me to a minor boots on the ground Tina had ordered a dress online, lots of online shopping. Dresses are very inexpensive online and So, and it was this typical oh it's in stock. And it was in stock in this color that she wanted and she bought one for herself. She bought one for her girlfriend who she is visiting in Florida at the end of the month different color. Then she gets an email sorry this one wasn't in stock so she fires...she goes to a website no actually it was on e-mail. She fire off an email and says

2:33:24 Well, you know this is not cool because you told me it was in stock. It said so on your website Is this Teemu? No no no it's an American company I don't know what the name of it was And she said, well then can I get it in the same color that I had it in? No we can't do that. We can't change the order but it will be back in stock April 23rd and she says well yeah but I'm going...I need this to take to my girlfriend in Florida at the end of this month. Well then can you just refund my money? No! We can't refund your money so now Tina's mad

2:34:00 And she's like, oh yeah? Oh yeah. Well you can have a very unhappy customer and I'm gonna blast you everywhere on social media! My husband is the podfather and you do not want to do this to me!" Then she got an email back. Hi hi it's Emily that was the bot. I am taking over here we can definitely refund your money So she was conversing with a bot...and these bots are no good This is the problem with the so-called AI, it's just...it sucks.

2:34:37 And I think that for all the money that goes into training these bots to make them even resemble some human emotion or dare, I say be empathetic to the customer. Well this would not have been an issue then...I'm going to argue this. The bot could have done if the bot was programmed with the old adage, the classic retailers' adage, the customer is always right This wouldn't have happened The bot was programmed by some nerd that doesn't never been in retail, doesn't know that the customer's always right. And this is what you get? This is the responsibility of the CEO of the company I don't think so! I'm not sure these bots are easily trainable by these online retail outfits They're getting a bot from somewhere

2:35:28 They run it through their, you know... Here comes the consultant. Well it's gonna cost you $15,000 but we're going to train it on all of your shopping experiences and then it just sucks and at the end of the day you would have been better to just have a human being answer this Human beings are the new AI I'm telling you It's going to happen This bot experience sucks And it doesn't seem like its going to Have much of a future anyway, because the pivot to quantum is here The pivot to quantum is here and the number one AI guy What's his name? Kwong? Kwong Jensen Jensen. What's-his-name? Jensen Wang Jensen Wang who just did an entire presentation Of their new upcoming quantum chip for quantum AI

2:36:27 screwed the pooch But then on January 8th, the sell-off continued. You saw it really dip down and that was after CEO Jensen Wang from NVIDIA stated at CES that quantum tech was likely 15 to 30 years away from practical implementation The market reaction was immediate and severe so you can really see that dip on your screen To the left of those Rigetti fell 45% D wave quantum down 36%, Ion Q down 39% Quantum computing 43 all in a single

2:37:17 single with the quantum computing sector and the timing is particularly noteworthy as well. It was announced this Quantum Day just one week after he made those CES comments in January, and following Tuesday's announcement in his keynote that NVIDIA is also developing a quantum computing research center in Boston so you can see that it is tone I guess more pleasant...not pleasent but just more optimistic about the technology despite today's

2:38:02 gathering though quantum stocks continue to trade down heading into the events and remain substantially below their previous highs. The ongoing volatility really underscores this speculative nature of investments in this emerging technology sector which we continue to cover given that volatility guys I think Jensen Wang is a great porn name you should consider a career change Quantum Computing is the new climate change John, that's what it is It's all bull All but smoke and mirrors. It's all of this, it's AI, it's all fantastic for making deep fake nudes! It's really good at that is great at making you know Scaramanga makes movies about Jesus in a coffee shop? That's great for that stuff but I just...

2:38:52 We know your position. But I would be all for, think of the exit strategy if we could train an AI to have our views and our insight and we have 17 years of transcripts and audio to train a large-language multimodal model on it and do our voices and answer an email or two...we could kick back and relax baby! How come we can't get this? We could. Show me! Well, I'm not gonna do it why? For one thing it wouldn't have the...

2:39:34 contemporaneous gags. So you're telling me the old material, the jokes would be recycled? Of course a lot of people haven't heard the material anyway... You're making my point for me! Yeah he might be right yeah I'll talk to some people about it. Let's go with an insult clip here this is a good one this is floating around Gavin Newsom on his podcast talking about Latinx. This is a clip from CNN! This is how bad it is, if Newsom's trying to get off the track off the Democrat track to run for president by being like sensible

2:40:13 It's not going to happen because they're gonna dog him and here is the example. Not one person ever in my office has ever used the word Latinx, so can we finally put that to bed? No more LatinX everybody! I just didn't even know where it came from like what are people talking about but there was a person who used Latin X was actually really important person with him Yeah, that's right. And look these aren't minor shifts these are progressive issues that Gavin Newsom used to champion until fairly recently and now he's not just walking away from them he sort of acting like they were never legitimate with that clip talking about Latinx in the first place but let's just let's take LatinX we did find somebody who used it repeatedly in his office let's take a listen

2:40:54 I hope we can really paint a picture in terms of our consciousness, uh, of how impactful this has been on the Latinx community. The LatinX community and the Latinx and black communities. You've got politicians that are banning not assault rifles but the word Latin X they're not even serious Yeah...I think Gavin Newsom thought he could be the new Joe Rogan of the left But it's looking more and more like Bill Burr is gonna be that guy He's showing up everywhere. No, Bill Burr can't do it. I'm saying... You see Rogan is a kind of normalized American he has questions that he's not as he's not a mean-spirited prick like Bill Burr which is why he's funny

2:41:47 Bill Burr is hilarious, but he is a mean-spirited unhappy person. Classic comedian by the way that most of them are this way just by their nature And Bill Berg is not of the sort of person that could bring out anything in anybody. You'd be afraid from the get-go that he's gonna just slam you for something, I will say Rogan is a comedian but Rogan is not the same kind of comedian. Rogan's more of a Jerry Seinfeld observational comedian and not a mean spirited prick

2:42:23 So no. But I do not think that precludes him from getting a big Google YouTube deal to be the Joe Rogan of the last year? Oh, he can get a deal but you know so what? Why don't we... maybe that's our exit strategy and we've talked about it before. Like get a deal? No well yes. He can't get a deal with the material we do! Well yeah but we can change our material this is like we go back to the lib joe. Go soft? No not soft um go uh you know let's be more empathetic It's the Empathy Joes, the empathy show. We could do it! Be very empathetic Yeah well you could I don't know...it's against my religion Let's go to...since we're talking about Newsom Cal Cap and Trade They're keeping this in play I thought it was dead The idea of cap and trade For climate change? Cap and trade for climate change? Yeah Under Cal And what outfit is this

2:43:23 I believe this is NPR. Southern California legislator Jackie Irwin can easily list the ways that the effects of climate change are hitting the state. Cycles have intense flooding, historic droughts rising seas threaten our coastlines unprecedented waves and home for me, devastating wildfires. Those fires like the ones that tore through Los Angeles earlier this year are making life more expensive for all Californians whether through rising utility bills because power companies are raising prices to update their equipment and limit the risk of starting wildfires on top of that insurance premiums which are going up for homeowners to cover them after- Did the Radio Labs people edit this? What is this?!

2:44:09 insurance premiums which are going up for homeowners to cover the massive losses insurers like State Farm are incurring in these disasters. Poll after poll has shown this is the number one issue for California voters, the cost of living That's James Gallagher, the Republican leader in the state assembly His party sees an opportunity to use anxiety over costs to chip away at the supermajorities Democrats hold in both houses. We need to do something, we need to act urgently on this issue and Republicans are prepared to do so But Republicans still have no real leverage at the California Capitol

2:44:47 it's Democrats who are now facing the challenge of weighing affordability against another top party priority reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are worsening these climate disasters and that balancing act could result in changes to the state's landmark climate initiative known as cap-and-trade That program is a key way states like California and Washington have come to fight climate change on their own, apart from the federal government. You know I was talking to one of our guys from the Koch empire, Koch brothers... Yeah? And you know California in order to build back better The state has determined that you need to use green lumber

2:45:33 And green lumber means it has not been dried. Yeah, and there's... You can't use green lumber? This is exactly what they're saying they have to use—green lumber! And the Koch Industries does have one green lumber outfit but you know that's not going to rebuild all of California The fact that they're even talking about cap and trade as a way to solve the problem, cap and trade solves nothing. It just moves it gives it the excuse well we've already traded for you know someplace else so were good to go. That's beyond me, do you want to play the second half? Yeah yeah let's play this. No its terrible! Well allow me to introduce

2:46:31 Theft to the show. Blatant theft, either that or you're sleeping with someone you shouldn't be sleeping with He definitely delivered yeah and who were you or anyone else To question the inherent genius of every impulsive blurt Of the 70 whatever year old god king Who rules without restraint Now how to alert, how did she come up with blurt? She didn't come up with it. She stole something that was she didn't even steal anything She doesn't do anything believe whatever producers one of the writer producers her listens to us mmm probably hate listens mm-hmm and They said you know that's pretty good term. Let's just start using it I

2:47:13 We're a hate listen for someone from the Rachel Maddow, well seeing as they had to fire everybody who knows what's left there. We get some international news, they're revoking immigration paroles is interesting. Yes let's do that for a second that is interesting. Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Caribbean and Latin American countries who came to the United States legally may soon face deportation. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said the Trump administration will revoke legal protections for more than half a million Cubans Haitians Nicaraguans and Venezuelans

2:47:52 The administration claims there's been broad abuse of humanitarian parole. That's the program that allows people from countries experiencing political instability to temporarily live and work in the United States. Empathy! Wow, where did this come from? Empathy...that came from PBS. No, the thing is it's called temporary protective status. Temporary. And they just oh that was here here's a report that actually kind tells us what's actually happening. Late Friday, the Trump administration announced it was revoking the legal status of more than half a million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela who came to the US legally under parole status. The Biden era program known as CHNV allowed the immigrants to live in the U.S through sponsorships by US citizens and permanent residents

2:48:45 In the next 30 days, there are war permits and deportation protections will be lapsed and terminated by the Department of Homeland Security which is warning that if these people do not voluntarily depart the country, John. They will be found arrested and deported from the country. It comes as Friday federal judge James Boasberg rebuked the Trump administration for ignoring his order to turn planes around mid-flight carrying Venezuelan migrants to a high security detention facility in El Salvador Bolsberg asked the Justice Department attorney, did you not understand? And accused the administration of disrespecting the court ignoring orders and missing his deadlines. The president has firmly stood by his decision and blasted to judge. We have bad people we don't want them in our country. We can't let a judge say that he wants him again. He didn't run for president. He didn't get much more than 80 million votes

2:49:41 And we just can't let that happen. The administration claims all the men who were deported are gang members, despite some having no criminal history and given no due process. The deportees are being held in one of the most notorious prisons in the world. This is a very interesting judicial move by the Trump administration. Well where'd that clip come from? That came from... CBS The reason I ask is because they don't know anything about these people that were shipped out of the country to El Salvadorian prison. So how would they say that many even have no criminal records? They've never revealed this! No, they revealed one...I don't think I clipped it. Did I clip it?... There was one guy who apparently was a baseball player

2:50:34 I thought that was the barber guy. No, well they really don't have any examples and what you would expect certainly from CBS but even from PBS is you'd have crying family members like he- they rousted him they deported him but i don't see any evidence of that But this is a very smart move by the Trump administration because you can just say oh I'm just revoking your TPS And it doesn't mean he's going to go send people back to Haiti right away. He can, or the administration can, or Department of Christy Noem, didn't she shoot her dog? You gotta be careful with her. But this is a way for them to get around the judge's orders and say well its TPS so I could just revoke that and have every legal right to send people back. It think its smart judicial move

2:51:27 And I don't think he's going to be sending people back to Haiti. I don't think you can even land a plane there anymore. That would not be true, it is not good. Well then there is the Venezuelan clip which is kind of follow up all those thoughts. Venezuela government says beginning tomorrow will again accept flights of its citizens deported from US. Repatriation flights had been halted by Venezuela's leader. The Trump administration had threatened to slap more sanctions on the country if the flights did not resume and PRs Carrie Khan reports, the president of Venezuela is National Assembly Jorge Rodriguez announced the resumption of flights in a statement on Instagram Rodriguez who has been negotiating with the US stated migration is not a crime and Venezuela will not rest until it secures the return of all those who require it

2:52:17 A week ago, the U.S sent more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador claiming most were members of a violent gang President Maduro says the deportations are a kidnapping and demands the migrants return Maduro's capitulation on accepting repatriation flights come as Trump is considering extending the Chevron oil company's license to operate in Venezuela which provides vital revenue for the country Yeah they're gonna have to do that We're running out of oil. Our gas to oil ratio in the United States is becoming more gas than oil, I have from The Oil Baron. Well they are trying to shut down refineries and I know out here they're trying to... Chevron's thinking about closing the Richmond Refinery at some point in the future and there's other refining issues that are problematic we not getting the crude that we want

2:53:14 We're not drilling more. I mean, it's at peak as far as I can tell they were drilling as much as they can we using a lot of oil but this little Chevron got you at the end of this thing was kind of interesting to me Maduro what did what quit pro quo took place with letting Chevron go in there and make money for Venezuela because they have to pay for the oil and I get it for free? I will get the details from The Oil Baron on what that's about None of those guys like Chevron. They don't like any of them Yes, it was indeed. You gotta say Reyes Barrios had been Renditioned to El Salvador but no crying family yet so know they'll find somebody yeah I'm gonna hire an actor I have an update on the Pope prior to being discharged Pope Francis is set to appear in public today for the first time since his hospital stay for double pneumonia the Vatican

2:54:15 The Vatican announced the Holy Father will bless the faithful from his 10th floor suite at the hospital, his first live appearance since being admitted last month. The Holy Father at the time of his admission to Gemelli Hospital presented an acute respiratory failure He is returning to his residence Santa Marta at the Vatican Catholics around the world have rejoiced from Rome to his native Argentina Up until today, this picture of Francis celebrating Mass at a small chapel inside Gemelli Hospital was the most recent image of the pontiff and this recorded message.

2:53:14 We're not drilling more. I mean, it's at peak as far as I can tell they were drilling as much as they can we using a lot of oil but this little Chevron got you at the end of this thing was kind of interesting to me Maduro what did what quit pro quo took place with letting Chevron go in there and make money for Venezuela because they have to pay for the oil and I get it for free? I will get the details from The Oil Baron on what that's about None of those guys like Chevron. They don't like any of them Yes, it was indeed.

2:54:15 The Vatican announced the Holy Father will bless the faithful from his 10th floor suite at the hospital, his first live appearance since being admitted last month.

2:54:50 Thanking for prayers was the last time we'd heard from Pope Francis. This hospitalization was marked by a roller coaster of setbacks, including respiratory crises, mild kidney failure and several coughing fits. The road to recovery will be a long one. The medical director at Gemelli Hospital said during his stay Francis twice presented critical episodes during which his life was in danger The Holy Father was never intubated and he always remained alert and oriented. Doctors say the Pope will need continued speech therapy after prolonged use of high-flow oxygen, and will need at least two months of rest and rehabilitation after he returns to the Vatican That doesn't sound very good... Two months of speech therapy?

2:55:41 Yeah, that's odd. I have one clip before we go to break Oh can i request one? Which one? The Voice of America Yep! That is the clip I want to play This is very interesting from the BBC World Service Oh wait a minute everybody It's the BBC World Service, live from London. Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty were founded during the Cold War before they later merged The organisation has been funded by the US Congress to promote democratic values it provides news to millions of users in 23 countries where a free press is either banned by authoritarian governments or weak Prime Minister Feeler said he knew what Radio Free Europe meant having listened when young during communist times

2:56:27 His government is looking to build a coalition of European nations to fund it or perhaps even buy it outright. They're going to buy it! Is it for sale? I guess it would be, that's what Trump will sell it That's fantastic Come on people these people have the internet they got smartphones everywhere They don't need to listen It'd be a sucker's bet that's for sure Hey yeah boy its up for sale sure here you go Maybe we could make some of that, give up some of that ham radio spectrum. Let them broadcast over there on 20 meters Oh man Yeah That... what do you think he could charge for it? You want to buy voiceover man? I don't know It's gonna be over-priced whatever it is I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who can deal with us Well yeah that'd be fab Yeah On no agenda

Yeah You mean uh...I did a good job you could just say Good Job Well for someone who did it back-ass word Oh yeah alright everybody Hey! It's time that everyone has been waiting for its John's Tip of The Day

3:08:52 Created fast for you and me, just a tip with JCD. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Burnetti Okay so this is a product that comes out I believe this is made in China because it says that on the package and everyone I've seen there's a bunch of these designed in the USA made in China and they're all exactly the same You can go look them up but I recommend people buy one of these The brands are different. This is a brand called Prepared Hero, it could be any other brand they all look identical they have the same functionality and these are fire blankets. Fire blankets? 40 inch by 40 inch fire blankets they're all made in China they're made out of fiberglass and you should have one in the kitchen hanging somewhere and you just...it's there all the same you can look them up

3:09:45 They have two black tabs hanging out of a red package. You pull the black tags, that's why it should be hanging up. You pull the black tags out brings out the fire blanket you throw it on the stove puts out to fire immediately without using a fire extinguisher which makes some mess. Yes! That is a good tip I once had when I was back at the apartment when I was single Also known as the penitentiary. I had a kitchen fire and I wound up extinguishing it with flour and while that was good, I then tried to vacuum up the flour And that ruined my Dyson vacuum cleaner and it was a mess you could find flower for months Yes fire blanket how big are they? These fire blankets? 40 inch by 40 inches just enough to cover the stove

3:10:41 Wow, that's a good tip. You get a grease fire you throw the fire blanket on top puts this fire out almost immediately I think and does it make a mess Can you also use it for your Tesla if your Tesla catches? Well, I wouldn't help but you could all right there you go tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com for John C. Dvorak's Tip of the Day Created by Dana Brunetti. Now I'm gonna get me a couple of those fire blankets, that is a very good idea. Yeah they actually in some cases they sell them by two sometimes you can get it five pack...I have just the one and like never had a kitchen fire. A five-pack? Well i've only had the one kitchen fire but that's a great idea! That is a very useful tip for today aren't you glad you stayed to listen to John C Devorah's secret. And they're cheap there like nine or ten bucks from China what could go wrong

3:11:38 Hey, coming up at the end of the show here we have some end-of-show mixes. We have The Existential Crisis from Matty J which believe it or not is a repeat but it's just as good six years later We have, oh yes the coveted arousal mix that Fletcher put together and brand new from Sir Michael Anthony The Trump anti-war in 24. You do not want to miss those Also stay tuned for the next program on your No Agenda stream or in your modern podcast app It's Unrelenting That is the podcast with Darren O'Neill and Gene Neftaliyev our Russian spy

3:12:17 And I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in Fredericksburg where we get middle-aged ladies sloshed by expensive schlocky clothing. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where I remain...I'm John C. Dvorak Remember us at knowagentthedonations.com Until Thursday adios mofos a hooey hooey and such I give them the old needle once in a while. I love eggs! Egg prices are continuing to soar. The cost of eggs has been soaring across the country. High costs of eggs... So what's behind egg prices?

3:12:57 Inflammation, inflammation. Pathogenic influenza more commonly known as bird flu the worst outbreak in years that has just swept through the country Tens of millions of birds have died or been slaughtered. Bird flu has reduced the egg laying hen population by more than 40 million Forty million? That's astounding to think about that looks like eggs are the new toilet paper It's extremely bad news. You might want to consider alternatives. This is an egg replacement item These chickens that were laying eggs, those are mature hens right? So we don't get a mature hen overnight It takes some time for a chick who hatches out of an egg to be ready This could be lasting us into the summer Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

3:13:42 Once it was reluctantly aroused, it was hard to get it aroused and it is hard to get it aroused but we got it aroused. We got it aroused in Iowa and everywhere else around the country's doing this It was hard to get it aroused Just keep it up And it is hard to get it aroused You know I mean... Hey come on! We got it aroused. Ooh! You know, it's gonna be even bigger now! Ooh! Look how long it is... It was hard to get it aroused. Ooh! I'll give you the gist of it. Quick get some white stuff somebody help me out here. Ooh! All cash baby! Uh-

3:14:18 I'm getting so excited about this. Sit, stay and come together in a row. The guy is jizzing all over himself! They're not gonna come because they wouldn't even think who would even think this? And everyone's like alright cool KK This is a crisis, this is all amateur hour.

3:14:56 stuff done in the control room or done by somebody who's not a good guy and done on purpose. How stupid have we been? And of course people got all kinds of fun clips... how stupid have we been?! People making songs from that I don't want to see wars, i think it's so horrible, so unnecessary and so costly in terms of lives and money and that order. I think it's just a failed mentality It is crazy! You can you can sell problems over telephone instead they start dropping bombs Recently they're dropping bombs all over Yemen. You don't have to do that, you can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you And the number of lives we are talking about is far greater than the numbers that you hear When they blow up this town when they blow up these buildings I mean it's big powerful buildings They come tumbling down to the ground and say nobody was injured A lot people were killed

3:15:46 And the numbers are a lot different than you think. When you will see that, when those numbers really get announced, it's much worse The whole world is on fire!
