SPLESH!

00:00 I call bogus. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in FEMA Region No. 6 In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where everybody has to resign... I'm John C. Dvorak Oh man oh man this is it's days like this when the job is just tough

00:43 Because there's just nothing else in the world is happening. There's nothing happening it's all signal gate I know you feel the same, because like well there goes the material. Well I found some stuff outside of Signal Gate Oh me too Because the car tariffs that's the other big news oh no but that's not news we don't want to talk about this morning The MS-13 guy some guy some 25 year old guy was arrested Well i'm glad you mentioned it here we go Here is Pam Bondage Good morning thank you for being here You're welcome Did you see Kash Patel in this?

01:18 They're all there. But did you see what he had on his FBI flight jacket? I thought that was camo No, it wasn't camo no that's just like outdoor arresting people jacket He got the hat on he's got a sneakers on yeah cash cash We have been out since about 4 30 this morning Stop for a second really why is she even there well they all report to her But what she was at, she's there with Cash. They're all there It's like... Well they were all out 4 a.m this morning and then they had doughnuts And I'm like come on let's go announce this thing alright Yeah everyone dressed right

01:59 It just seemed to be showboating if you ask me. You think? You think?! Whatever, this was a please pay no attention to Signal Gate we got an MS-13 guy! I think that's exactly right. Oh yeah totally The great men and women of law enforcement have been working on this operation for days and days and probably weeks What do...you don't know? You don't know? Probably weeks? Do they report to you I thought that she'd have an exact day when they started. We started this on this date and we got through, I guess not. This morning early this morning one of the top leaders... Top! I love this The top leaders the tippy-top all the way at the top of the pyramid top leader Leaders of MS 13 was apprehended he was a leader for the East Coast one of the top three in the entire country

02:54 right here in Virginia, living half an hour outside of Washington DC. He is an illegal alien from El Salvador and he will not be living in our country much longer He's in custody this morning. One of the top leaders right here near our nation's capital. Right there! Top, he was right there one of the top guys Hey listen, the biggest criminals live in Washington okay? They don't live in Virginia But good job everybody Just let me do... I have a couple Signalgate things Do you have the super clip

03:34 I have a super clip, yeah. I don't know which one you're talking about. That's the one with all the Democrats going how this is the worst thing that has ever happened to the country since 9-11? No! No, no, I don't have that one. Oh... Why? Because I was looking for Supercuts not Superclip. A Supercuts haircut. No actually got it at I thought it would be fun to do a different version of Supercut which Yeah, we're doing something different. It's upside down day here on the No Agenda Show people! The Lib Joes are in the house!! They've made a big deal out of this because we've had two perfect months. The main thing was nothing happened, the attack was totally successful. In my administration I'm going to enforce all laws concerning the protection of classified information! I always say you have to learn from every experience Hillary's private email scandal which put our classified information in the reach of our enemies disqualifies her

04:33 from the presidency. that you're enabling. The president's national security advisor sent top secret emails on an unsecured server that we know our enemies were trying to access he was sending back and forth freewheeling uh, and yet we see nothing there my communications to be clear in a signal message group were entirely permissible and lawful and did not include classified information this was a huge Mistake. Correct? No. Mishandling classified information is still a violation of the Espionage Act It started with Hillary Clinton, it has continued without accountability Nobody was texting war plans and that's all I have to say about that If there was anyone other than Hillary Clinton they would be in jail right now When you take something out of a skiff if you're a senator You know exactly what your doing So i found that supercut, thought that was rather entertaining

05:34 Yeah, but more fun was a trend we have noticed recently amongst Democrats affectionately called the delusional Dems and it's the cussing. And so here they have an opportunity to cut... They have an opportunity to have the upper hand on everything I mean, it's just from... because if. I mean politics truth doesn't matter It's just whatever is on X and whatever is being replayed by the media But they cannot help themselves here's Adam Schiff So tonight I want to talk about Signalgate and what a colossal fuck-up this is in terms of our national security Why? He doesn't need to he does a six minute video but that's how we starts it off

06:17 That's not good. And then... Even Van Jones, I don't know if you have a clip of that? Yeah, yeah, I have that first look Wait wait wait First let's- You're jumping the gun! I always do that You jump in the sequence and when I go yah yah yah that means quiet Yah yah yah Mayor Pete lovable adorable little mayor Pete throws a couple bombs Oh no! He has his breastfeeding thing on him It does not I try to not jump down with a tape By the way we should start our show Hates Pete I mean, who does he think he is? Madonna. Hey it's Pete! Hey it's Pete. I try not to jump in with a take on everything or comment on everything we see in the news of the day but what we learned about today is truly incredible The US Secretary of Defense, the National Security Advisor, the Vice President of the United States and other very senior very powerful Trump White House officials It turns out discussed highly classified war plans

07:16 not only on an unclassified channel, but accidentally and randomly it seems including a journalist. And to see this administration claiming that it cares about competence and merit and then be responsible for an epic fuck-up like this demonstrates that these are not serious people. Not done yet! This kind of intelligence failure calls the question on whether there is any place for merit or competence in this administration at all. Because if they're not highly serious consequences for this level of screw up, then it will make clear that all of the bluster about merit that you hear about from this White House is just bullshit. We deserve so much better than this. It's getting clearer by the day- Why? That people in charge of the American government

08:09 Cannot keep the American people safe. All right, here's the Van Jones remark I think that this party is scrambling trying to seem tough and And I'm seeing I've seen this party traffic in a lot of curse words That's supposed like the new cool thing to do. I don't think it that's going to be as useful. I even heard Pete Buttigieg It was a whole bunch of curse words man. I don't know who gave that memo. I don't think that's very useful Yeah So it wasn't memo it clearly there was a bit more they went out Van is questioning who gave out the memo. Is that another Chuck Schumer thing, do you think? Yeah let's all talk tough I think this is organic. I think it stems from the powers of the president. I've said this before that the president sets the moral tone of the country and has always been the case so the first they teach in college poli sci classes

09:01 So they've given the president gave the go-ahead because he says bullshit all the time. Yeah, but not the f word I haven't heard him F bomb No, yeah, no, I think he has but I don't think it's it doesn't The way they... the main people that do this of course are the main Screaming Mimis that are on the... Mimi's? Screaming Mimi's, what kind of... Screaming Mimi's. What kind of backhanded slap is that at your own stuff? Well it's what they're called, the Screaming Mimi's. I've never heard of them! It's a great band name but i've never heard of the Screaming Mimi's Screaming mimi's are the people that are on the tick-tock and they're screaming and yelling in and cussing and They're the ones who really set this stage for this it seems to me And now that the fact that their politicians are starting to cuss if this is really and they're the ones who bitched and moaned about coarseness so course Oh Trump is back. It's language horse yes, if

09:56 If you're gonna do that, if you're going to set up yourself by complaining about coarseness and then you start cussing this is not a good look. I do have a couple of insightful clips about this because we are not going to do what everybody else is doing... I was listening to DH Unplugged every Tuesday. They do it live at 8 o'clock We do It's also a podcast Yes, is John C Dvorak and Andrew Horowitz and Horowitz are saying why does the news always do five stories? they do five stories all day long five certain than you and you Backed him up by saying that's what Fox does every single Fox show Five Stories Five Stories And the reason for that is you play the hits man when you're in a linear time format

09:01 So they've given the president gave the go-ahead because he says bullshit all the time. Yeah, but not the f word I haven't heard him F bomb No, yeah, no, I think he has but I don't think it's it doesn't The way they... the main people that do this of course are the main Screaming Mimis that are on the... Mimi's? Screaming Mimi's, what kind of... Screaming Mimi's. What kind of backhanded slap is that at your own stuff? Well it's what they're called, the Screaming Mimi's. I've never heard of them!

10:42 People aren't watching all day. You want them to tune in and get the top five stories, that's what that's about. Play the hits you can't go wrong by playing Madonna Yeah That's probably the only... I remember when i was at Tech TV we had a GoPro that was running one of the guys it was one of the main producers of the whole operation he said and you get a story uh that's hot just milk it Yeah. It's all you do all day is just go on this story and it's all your play, yacky-yack about the one thing I mean we shy away from that on this show because it's...I think people are sick of it.

11:29 In this, I mean people always want to hear our opinions. We still talk about this stuff Oh yeah but we have opinions okay well we also have perspective and a different look at these things. We are awesome! That's what we're trying to say. Here is the backgrounder It was the screenshot that the world was waiting for after members of now infamous Hooty PC small group lined up on Tuesday to insist no classified information were shared in the Signal Chat The Atlantic magazine dropped the so-called war plan Pete Hegseth sent to senior intelligence officials and a journalist from the Atlantic that readers might judge for themselves. 1215 estimated time F18's launch first strike package 1345 trigger based

12:12 First F-18 first strike window starts. Target terrorist is at his known location, so should be on time. Also strike drones launch MQ9s." After the initial strike the target is identified on Signal as the Houthis quote top missile guy. Members of The Signal thread are now saying The Atlantic Magazine's editor Jeffrey Goldberg oversold the extent of the breach among them the Pentagon chief himself Nobody's texting war plans. There are no units No locations, no routes. No flight paths, no sources, no methods, no classified information." This after Goldberg's original article said the plan included precise information about targets but in the hands of foreign intelligence the messages sent two hours before zero hour would have been an ample tip-off to Houthi command of an impending attack

13:09 You're right about the president setting the tone because not a single person can just say, yeah that was dumb. They don't seem capable of that like yeah well we were in a hurry we're doing this you know it's an approved thing we just threw together a group And this is the era of no apologies. Yeah, yeah sorry about that Vaxx now No one no one is going to apologize for everything and President Trump he's still on the market Of course I mean get your eighth booster Get your eighth booster It wasn't interesting because you know this journalist is interesting

13:49 for a number of reasons and then we can talk about what we think happened briefly. Matt Taibbi was on Newsmax, he's the top guy on Newsmax as a guest and here is what he had to say about the Atlantic journalist Jeffrey Goldberg What exactly is Jeffrey Goldberg in your mind? What do you think of this guy Look, a lot of journalists when Jeffrey Goldberg's name comes up we all kind of look at each other with an amused glance. This is somebody who has a reputation for getting things massively wrong and somehow being promoted anyway. He was infamous for getting the WMD story.

14:29 wrong multiple times. In fact, he won multiple awards for getting that story wrong and somehow still ended up the editor of Atlantic Magazine so he's a figure of some mystery in the business Yeah that was The Great Terror article in The New Yorker in 2002 He is the one who promoted the Suckers & Losers story John Kelly commentary...He also did two or three other of these things There's got to be something like that. I mean, I don't have the...I am not looking at his wiki page so i can do a spot the spook analysis but there's something fishy about first of all why is he the guy that ended up on this thing? The second thing was is that the uh Walls, the national security advisor says when he went to CIA I guess the first thing they gave him was with secure phone it had signal on it and then he talked to some CIA guys but he talked about this in the testimony

15:27 And they had a communication, somebody there says oh no don't worry about it. Everyone's got this you know just use it as fine and then all of the sudden just Jeffrey Goldberg guy gets on the call how did that happen? And they're looking at course nobody can figure out how that happened and maybe they will maybe they won't this whole thing is a setup. Goldberg dropped out of college and worked for a time at The Washington Post because that's where all college dropouts go Did you drop out of college? You're hired, son. Come on in! What do you get hired by Woodward he then moved to Israel and served in the Israeli Defense Forces during the first Intifada He was a prison guard There he... let me see... You on his wiki page Yeah I am Oh can't be trusted dual Israeli citizen It's one of those guys Can't trust him

16:28 Well, the... Is there any other spot that spooked you? Indicators. I don't really see anything. Well that's actually good! It may actually be a real one. A real one as opposed to one that is just kind of sloppy because he is the guy of all people who ended up on this call why him? Well sometimes, just Occam's razor, things just happen Yeah, but this thing is anything but Occam's razor. It's like the opposite. Well it's so out there Not really I mean add if you're adding because the whole signal texts thread was about adding people to the mix yeah But first you have to have the number in your book Oh yeah well I mean you have lots of people's numbers in your book You wouldn't add to a text chat with me

17:23 I'm sorry you have an actual book. What am i thinking? You don't have it in your phone Actually, I do have the google uh... I do have a large address book on Google and they will move to my phone every time I get a new android You've gotten one? Well, it's not new but every time you get a different phone and I have different phones over time that end up in the same drawer. But when you boot it they demand that you log into somehow you gotta log your old account in and once you do that then they throw a bunch of crap on your phone

18:03 But they're throwing stuff on... I have phone numbers for people that i don't even know. And so it's possible, but again somehow that number got on that phone Walls' phone somehow. No, I'm pretty sure they know each other They know each other! Walls claims that he doesn't know him. Ah, I don't buy that. I am not buying that. I like what our Sir Grantilius of the Great Plains said Waltz was working for the Department of Defense as an advisor to Cheney in the Bush days. Goldberg was publishing work actively supporting the invasion of Iraq, that's your WMD The Cheney gang despises Trump could Goldberg have been invited on purpose and that's what he says That's reasonable not is that's reasonable you know but it's a lot of reasonable things that you can But who is this my who is this if I think this is tough? If its targeted It's targeted against Heggseth

19:04 Who has the capability? First of all. Well, they really hate Hegseth. Yes and Hegseth has responded very poorly he's not good at this No you think he'd be better because he's media savvy? He is so defensive and blah blah This is not this bullcrap that guy is no good! No it's just saying Hegseth plays too much of a tough character Yeah He's a tough guy They push him into this position where he's gotta Kind of assertive and he doesn't have experience in a large bureaucracy. So he's a little sensitive about that yeah, and so he's at position where they can she even get shook and So far you know I think Trump likes him I think he probably could do the job if they don't but they're gonna try to shake him out of there I think he has to go that out of all this They're not gonna stop

20:00 And if this was a targeted thing, then it was to get to make Hegseth look bad. Because it was Hegseth who's sitting there going like we got the Reaper drones! We're gonna kill this guy! The thing that is kind of sick about it all... Is the jubilee and like yay American flag emoji punching fist emoji fire emoji we killed him yeah that was a mistake Of course but that's how these people are It's probably how most people are. But it's always... Yeah, we're number one foam finger! It's always a little jarred. I mean to me that was the jarring thing. Not that this was... And clearly the timing of this and how much time there was before the Reaper drones and whatever else they were planning. Clearly that would have been enough to alert people. Here is my question though. This is the part I don't understand. This is where it smells of a setup

21:01 If this isn't you or I, and we get added to some awesome text group. And on this text group it's podcasters. It's Megyn Kelly...it's Dan Bongino- oh no he is not a podcaster anymore. It's Tucker Carlson they have like this top, top, top podcaster group. I would not be removing myself! Who does brought up on gut felt by one of the can one of the contestants? Who does that I forgot who was but one of them said why would you outdo yourself if you're gonna end up on these groups because you could as a journalist in particular because you're like the fly and now your fly wall yes why wouldn't you want to continue to be the fly on the wall as long as you can and you just build up do you build up do you remember him do you remember back well you still have one back in the landline days if you called someone on a landline you know the thing that's on the wall

21:59 And the other person didn't know how did it work? It was like, There was a thing where you could keep listening. I mean, if the other person doesn't hang up and there was something with this happening regularly... There were some situations with it. Well first of all when i was in France for the first time In 73 Getting your hair cut by Pierre? Yes That's when he had to always go to the postal office To make calls It was very strange to do an overseas call You had to go to the post office And they had to...it was a postal telecom

22:34 Telephone post office. Yes, we're a PTT but the phones that if people did have a phone in their in their house When you hung up it didn't hang up anything yes So you could stay on the line and when the other person hung up, you heard a click but their phone was still live for a good five minutes. This is what I'm talking about! I remember this There was something like that went on in this country too but it wasn't quite the same mechanism with something else No...I think i remembered from the Netherlands I remember it to because I remember people hanging out and then now you can still hear it Yeah Yeah, and what you did was you didn't hang up and say oh I hope we don't hear anything. No! You're listening. Well that's like being on the party line. Yes Which when your... When i was a real little kid And I was on the party line all of time and I've talked about this on the show before I got caught a couple times

23:28 By the girl talking to her boyfriend, I'm listening in. These two cooing over each other and she caught me somehow. Here's a modern day example let's move it out of Boomerland Butt dial. When someone butt dials you and you hear them... Same thing You don't hang up and go, oh butt dial? No! Let me hear what they say. You listen for at least a little while but if it's obviously you're not going to hear anything because you can tell by the nature of the butt dial because you just hear rustling then you hang up

24:07 But otherwise, yeah you listen a little bit if you hear anything. So but if you don't hear anything You don't listen so it doesn't make sense that this guy outed himself like this. And he's got nothing and his story was a nothing burger. You use nothing burger? Yeah It basically there wasn't really anything is just was there humiliate Hegg Seth so and Walls to lesser extent Well Walls is under attack So people are now combing through Waltz and they find out that his official ex account, he's following a gay porn star. Known as Big Dick Bottom A black guy Really? Yeah

24:58 I didn't catch that. And then he unfollowed him quick? Yeah, I would imagine... Sorry not porn star an adult content creator! By the way, I will say this so that could be planted. Oh yeah easy hey let me see your phone for a sec you know who do i know that does that who did things yes John C Dvorak give me your phone for a second and you boop-boop switch it to Korean And it would be impossible to find your way back to turn off the Korean light. Yeah, you have a lot of research to figure out how to do it! That was one of your most... It's not a horrible gag, just horrible. So yeah my feeling is this is the first major chink in the Hegseth armor and that was the intent also

25:50 from the account from Goldberg, it was Waltz who added him to his... Now that cannot... Signal doesn't send out invitations as far as I know. I was surprised just as an aside that Signal is an approved encrypted messaging app for the US government Do you know that the chairman of the Signal board is a foundation that runs... The woman she is the head of NPR No, she's gone but didn't the woman from Blue Cry also come to this? No. The woman from NPR still runs it because they... Here! Here is the clip They talk about it at one of their signals I have a couple of her clips But no, I have the disclaimer Okay Wow Yeah wow was right You sure you have it? I know I know I have it just that I just don't know what its called Breach Story Weird NPR Should we try that one

26:54 What is it? Breach story weird NPR. Oh yeah, that could be it! The fallout continues from the revelation senior Trump administration officials somehow added a journalist to a Signal group chat in which they discussed secret plans for military strikes in Yemen At a White House hearing today, Democrats disputed the administration's claims. The information wasn't classified and called for people to be held accountable. Here is NPRs Ryan Lucas. Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee pushed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard and CIA director John Ratcliffe for answers particularly after the full group chat chain was made public by The Atlantic

27:30 It showed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth texting details on timing, weapons and attack sequencing of the US airstrikes in Yemen. Here's Colorado Democrat Jason Crowe. Nobody is willing to come to us and say this was wrong! This was a breach of security and we won't do it again! Crowe who is a former U.S Army Ranger said the refusal to accept responsibility is outrageous and a leadership failure And he called on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to resign Ryan Lucas, NPR News Washington. NPR CEO Catherine Barr chairs the board of The Signal Foundation, a nonprofit that supports the app That's not the lady who was in Congress though Yeah No Her name is... I don't think that's her name No there were two ladies in Congress Hold on a second NPR News Washington NPR CEO Catherine Barr chairs the board of The Signal Foundation, a non-profit that supports the app

28:23 The other lady, Catherine... Catherine Detser or March? No no. There are two ladies from NPR called Catherine Marr. Did he say Marr? Let me listen again. Did he say Marr? Washington. NPR CEO Catherine Marr chairs the board of the signals company. Oh Marr. Okay oh interesting Well what is she doing that for? Well, that makes it all very suspicious. I thought it was very suspicious first time I heard that and that's one of the few times they actually ran the disclaimer. You're gonna grill me in Congress?! Watch this! Can I play a couple of those clips? I thought those were kind of interesting. I would like you to play them, but I didn't get any of those clips. The thing is they don't have... It was funny to listen to...I will say this. You listened and I was almost going to take this but then I was thinking well one too many Jesse Waters analysis isn't good for the show. Do we have more today? This is bad.

29:21 But Jesse Watters has some of the best of the clips and then when you played him up against a long version, longer exposition on PBS NewsHour. There was no comparison. The water stuff was far superior Well I focused really on one thing and that's the money because that's what it was about is about do we Do we continue to fund the national public radio? Where does the money go That's and the kicker is all with the government doesn't really have only gives maybe 1% of the total It doesn't mean a lot in oh who cares but we need this money Okay, I guess I don't need to play the clips you did again

30:01 You went straight to the kicker. But that's just what you set me up for it, you gotta do a better job of blocking me. I'm gonna play Catherine Marr be quiet! I understand this subcommittee has questions about funding for NPR and public radio The vast majority of federal dollars more than 100 million of 121 million annual appropriation for public radio goes directly to 386 local non-commercial stations across the nation This highly efficient investment enables your local stations to raise an average of $7 for every federal dollar. As a grantee of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, NPR received federal funding of $11.2 million last year These funds allow us to maintain the National Public Radio Satellite System helping safeguard our national security civil defense and disaster response and enabling public radio to reach every corner of America Additionally these funds help protect journalists covering our troops overseas and reverse the decline of local journalism

31:03 So people don't really understand how NPR works. They're all independent stations, they have to do their own fundraising The problem is they, you know, they basically can't create much of their own local content. I mean even KUT in Austin remember when we had snowpocalypse? They were playing fresh air with Terry Gross. They have to buy the programming and that's where a lot of the money goes because it's commercial companies making the majority of this content. It's not like You know, like government employees. All of this comes through the PRX, the public radio exchanges, you know the public... what is it? The Public Media... I forget the name of the group

31:49 So really the only thing that makes it a network is explained here. I'd like to spend the rest of my time talking about funding This is Jack, Representative Jack from Georgia And I know some of my colleagues talked about this today but could you walk us through the amount of money NPR receives from CPB annually? Yes, sure sir. We received $11.2 million this past year the majority of which goes to the public radio satellite system which we operate on behalf of the entire public radio network. We also received a smaller amount of funds... Let's just stop there! The PRSS, the Public Radio Satellite System is an anachronism This thing should be immediately shot out of the sky

32:34 I think there's still one show that broadcasts live, the morning edition maybe all things considered is a live stream from the satellite which of course we could do much cheaper with the Starlink dish. That would work in case of an emergency But you could still do it, I mean we've had T1 lines for a long time and what all these is very expensive very antiquated system where they in essence download WAV files of programming. That's the incredible importance of that 11 million dollars and of course Catherine Marr salary and whatever else they do with that

33:19 But that thing is absolutely not necessary, but I don't think any of these people in Congress actually understand what NPR is or how it works. We also received a smaller amount of funding in the course of the past year that went to help us hire those additional editors and analysts in order to be able to beef up that editorial review We received funding to support the coverage of the recent election in order to make sure that we had our journalists all across the country and were able to speak to Americans from all different political backgrounds. And what percentage of your budget share comes from the federal government? Depending on how you count it, sir, it is less than 5%.

33:59 And to help me understand too, the CPB you know as I understand it we've Congress has appropriated 500 million dollars in CPB. It flows out and i think smaller radio stations go and apply for grants for it. Five hundred million for CPB which includes PBS? What else does that include It includes a lot of those little stations who have to give the money back. I mean, the whole thing is something of a Ponzi scheme Do you receive payment and from smaller radio stations through licensing agreements and things of that nature? We do in the fees for that are Designed around the what does it would even designed the fees are designed And that this and of course

34:46 Jack is only out to get her, to stick it to her like everybody else. No follow-up questions on that. ...are designed around the amount of funding that they get from private member donations so its not...the fees are not designed around federal funding. How was the fee designed? I mean a fee is a fee So is it based upon how many people listen Is it based on how much money you raise This makes no sense They get money To keep the stations on the air, that's expensive. And then the fees are designed somehow? I think what she is trying to say is that if larger markets have to pay more money...

35:30 That's pretty common. It's like newspaper syndicates, if you're a small town paper with 100 thousand circ, you're not paying the same amount for the Dilbert cartoon as somebody with 250 thousand circ. Designed around the amount of funding that they get from private member donations so it's not... The fees are not designed around federal funding they're designed on what sort of direct private support and donations they receive from members and listeners Well, they're basing it on... she's saying that they based it on how much they get. So how much did you raise? $2 million dollars Oh your fee is just... I don't think that's right. I don't know what she's talking about She's just rambling. I mean, I think maybe she'd be snowing the guy

36:14 Well, here's the real question and this came from Jack as well. Could NPR survive without the 5% that we give NPR annually? My belief is that the funding is essential to the public radio system and that is the 246 member stations but the 1300 stations across the nation so that were able as a network to serve all Americans with 100 percent coverage. This is a snow job what she's saying right here. There is no substance to what she's saying She's not answering the question Federal funding for our network goes away It means that people in rural parts of America, places where they can't afford to make private donations To support their local journalism Those will be harmed but sorry if I may The bigger harm as well or the additional harm Is that Americans and places that are affluent Or do have many media choices Because they're children

37:06 She says something very interesting. At first I misheard her, but she's saying what i think she is saying here is rich people who who've got a lot of choice won't be able to hear the poor suckers out in the sticks. Tell me I'm wrong. Americans in places that... You guys started over there, yeah. Bigger harm as well or the additional harm is that Americans in places that are affluent or do have many media choices will not be able to hear from their fellow Americans that are often underheard Isn't that what she's saying? you won't hear from the poor people without us

37:45 That's exactly what she is saying. I don't know how... What else could that mean? So NPR... So the rich people are going to suffer! Yes, they're gonna suffer horribly. That's exactly what she is saying If they don't give the little people some money so the little people can speak up because a little people don't have a voice without the government money. You bastards in the government you better give the little people some money because You're shutting them down. Have you ever heard of X or Facebook? Little people have a voice these days, lady! Americans in places that are affluent or do have many media choices will not be able to hear from their fellow Americans that are often underheard And if you're an NPR guy please make sure that next time you hear some poor people who aren't heard make sure that if they're ever on NPR you clip it

38:34 Because usually I only hear douchebags. It's all douche bags. Bottom line, if the 5% went away would NPR still exist? Well it would be incredibly damaging to the federal excuse me to the national public radio system Well, this is why I say- Wait so in other words 5% goes to the poor suckers. The five percent is going to be incredibly damaging because despite what we do we can't make up five percent that funding. We can't find some other way of doing it, we can't open up a gates of hell of advertising, we can't do anything. That 5% is all there is to it." That was the question! Something's wrong with that answer... So instead we just hounded her I- It is fun to listen to this this was the representative Brandon Gill

39:32 who did exactly what they're doing to National Security Advisor Waltz. Let's comb through your tweets and embarrass you! It's interesting because a lot of your thinking as expressed by your public... Hold on, can you stop for second? Yeah. John Kennedy the guy from Louisiana I think is the guy who perfected this technique in Congress Oh he has his own YouTube channels and you don't even know how old it is I mean it's evergreen this stuff he does Yeah, he has nothing but... Showbiz appeal. Did you write this tweet? Let me just get it straight! Is that something you actually wrote and say well I think so Well you would know let's see if I'm reading right from it You might, then it goes on and on yeah This guy did a pretty good job It is interesting because a lot of your thinking as expressed by your public statements is deeply infused with economic and cultural Marxism

40:26 Do you believe that America is addicted to white supremacy? I believe that, I tweeted that and as i've said earlier, much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. I've evolved as a human being because... Wait she said over the last half decade! Isn't that great, you mean five years It was only four actually to be honest, look at the number. But it's four years ago she wrote that. Everything has evolved over the last half decade! That's amazing you mean during the Biden administration? Earlier I believe much of my thinking has evolved over the last half decade. It is evolved why did you tweet that

41:09 I don't recall the exact context, sir. So I wouldn't be able to say Okay Do you believe that America believes in black plunder and white democracy? I don't believe that sir You tweeted that in reference to a book you were reading at the time apparently The Case for Reparations I do not think I've ever read that book, Sir This is my best... this is the best one! You were reading a book or you tweeted about this book I don't think I've read that book, Sir I don't think I've read that book in the last half decade He tweeted about it. He said you took a day off to fully read the case for reparations, put that on Twitter in January of 2020

41:48 So she's a liar. Of course, she didn't read the book She didn't read white fragility either just virtue signaling I have a couple clips coming up later in this show that also do use this trick when you say hey I'm thinking about this half-decade thing The first thing that if you're if you're calculating that your mind you think that cut that's 50 years of Because when you think of it, when you say half and half is always at .5 so it's point five decade ten You multiply in your brain. You multiply it And so it says my know the last half decade It really I think subconsciously it sounds like 50 years

42:27 Hmm. I think it's a very tricky NLP, I think it's an NLP trick and is to gives you the sense of this long time Well she also slipped in their federal public radio which I thought was interesting Yeah she's good yeah she know yeah spook She may be a spook but what's her name again? Catherine Maher Maher Maher You took a day off to fully read the case for reparations you put that on Twitter in January 2020 Apologies, I don't recall that. Okay? No doubt that yours your tweet there is correct But I don't recall okay do you believe that white people and inherently feel superior to other races this is great This is this is your virtue signaling coming back and slapping in the face like a wet salmon People and inherently feel superior to other races. I do not

43:21 You don't you tweeted something to that effect. You said I grew up feeling superior ha how wide of me Why did you tweet that? I think I was probably reflecting on what it was to be To grow open in an environment where I had lots of advantages So that's a racist statement right there because you were white That means that you had lots of advantages have you seen and what about those poor schlubs who need 5% to listen to NPR to create content for NPR so the rich people can hear it Okay, yeah just let me stop you for a second After high school, Mar graduated from the Arabic Language Institute. Oh yeah we went to it a week before. An intensive program at American University of Cairo in 2003 she recalled that formative experience and she developed her interest in the Middle East and what's she doing here? Mar also studied at the Institut Francais. She was in Damascus, she was in Syria, she spent time in Lebanon and Tunisia

44:22 I'm reminded of a meeting I had with the economic hitman for lunch one time. He says, my entire family says don't take Arab because they're all CIA spooks and said don't take Arabic because you'll be stuck in the Middle East. No, you want Mandarin? From 2007 to 2010 she was at UNICEF then she was at the National Democratic Institute as an ICT program officer worked at The World Bank She worked at Twitter DC-based Access Now Operation Advocacy. This woman is Wikipedia Foundation, she was the communications officer there. Mary, just one thing after this is an unbelievable bio. US State Department Foreign Affairs Policy Board worked with Clinton, secretary with Hillary.

45:15 She's just unbelievable. Well, this leads me to believe that Signal is not a safe app. That leads me to believe the exact same thing or it was just a backdoor operation? I was probably reflecting on what it was... You know you could have probably... Talking about that It's possible that they just slipped Jeffrey in and nobody really put him on the call at all Very suspicious And this woman is extremely suspicious to grow up in an environment where I had lots of advantages. It sounds like you're saying that white people feel superior? I don't believe that anybody feels that way, sir. I was just reflecting on my own experiences. Do you think the white people should pay reparations? I have never said that, sir

45:59 Yes, you did. You said it in January of 2020. You tweeted yes the North, yes all of us, yes America, yes our original collective sin and unpaid debt, yes reparations, yes on this day I don't believe that was a reference to fiscal reparation sir What kind of reparations was it a reference too? I think it's just a reference to the idea that we all owe much to people who came before us That is bizarre way to frame what you tweeted And he went on and on But that was entertaining. Yeah, of course but she was slick I watched her she was calm cool and collected yeah in regards to Signal that's a little troubling

46:44 I wonder why she, well maybe on the other hand maybe that's exactly why it is sanctioned for use within the government. Which i learned! I didn't know that and think they could use their private phones for anything that had a government business how about the then we have the National Archive Act and all kinds of stuff you have to no matter what has been discussed has to be archived somewhere? Yeah, supposedly. Someone needs to fess up or someone needs to go and I think that Hegseth is one more gaffe away from being a... Yes you're right one more gaffe he's done

47:26 I like him, but the way he responded did not like him. Thought that was very poor. He's not using his resources... Use your words Pete! No i'm talking about you know there are people the Pentagon has something like 27 to 60 thousand public relations specialists? Yeah. That many people so they can just hound the media and they have people there that could... How should I respond to this? Meetings could take place with 10 of the top people, and they would give him the marching orders. I don't think...I think they'd cut him off." I wonder if this could've been a Pegasus-type deal where someone basically just controls your phone and can remotely add someone to his signal chat. Hey hey hey watch this!

48:22 That seems more likely. It wouldn't surprise me. By the way, Tina's out of town she is in Indiana visiting her mom and so that gives me an opportunity to watch stuff that you know how... well you don't know per se but we're sitting at home and I'm surfing through the Netflix like let's watch this oh no! That has Robert De Niro in it. I hate him Which by the way, I'm like yeah you're right. So i watched Zero Day which is starring De Niro and he plays the president or ex-president of the United States very good movie

49:01 And it deals a lot with what can happen with phones and apps, and even more delightful how the circumvention is. Everyone gets around all of these things when they're doing something nefarious? How do the bad guys communicate? How? Ham radio baby! Ham radio. That's when the story... Well, you know De Niro was also in Wag the Dog Which was a fantastic movie which is another fantastic He was great until he had to pull his own documentary out of the Tribeca Film Festival about how his kid got autism and he thought it was from vaccines And then they were like you'll never make another movie in this town again de nero Oh Okay Do you remember that? No I yeah that was during the show that information has been lost on no that was during the show

49:54 Yeah, he pulled from his own film festival. He pulled the doc. Oh no There's not enough evidence about this I've decided to pull this documentary That's when he went sour come on man taxi driver was he in taxi driver? Yeah yeah so well what else we got on this regard Well, I don't think much else I mean We'll just see what happens but we need to keep an eye on on Heg Seth because I think he's on deck Yeah, that's what it looks like. They're not they're not letting up on this doesn't matter you got a top MS-13 guy who cares signal gate? You you're gonna put 25% tariff on all cars coming into America who cares signal gates Who cares nobody cares Everybody wants to get some veterans well I've fought in the war and you know people I know died because of intelligence mess ups

50:51 So cynical all this stuff. I hate mainstream media, so let's go to the car tariffs okay? But they have the BBC I have a series these are all spelled CAE And tariff is misspelled I usually correct these with this sort of thing. You got Kaye Raifs, I thought Kaye Raifs was a lady that I was very interested in when I saw your clips come in people have to know John sends me clips and I don't listen to them. I just look at the titles and know okay maybe I do not need a whole series of clips here because if there is something about Kaye Rair-Rariffs in the news I don't need a clip on her It's a typo you know it's like visual blurry

51:35 So we start with the now. My vision was blurry! Do you drive? This is not the analysis clips, this is just the BBC straight up. Wait...is this World Service? Yeah, BBC World Service. And now another series of clips from the BBC World Service! President Trump has announced a 25% tariff on all cars imported into the United States from the 2nd April He claimed that measure would spur growth in US car industry and create jobs and investment Our North America Business Correspondent Erin Delmore reports

52:11 President Trump said the new tariffs would bring car and truck production back to the US, and generate billions of dollars in revenue. Mr Trump made clear that the new tariffs are permanent, and not a negotiating tactic designed to extract concessions from America's trade partners. But determining which vehicles are made in America can be complicated particularly when it comes to America's closest neighbors Mexico and Canada The new taxes will immediately hit millions of foreign-made cars sold in the US each year. The move is poised to send a shock through the industry with potential for higher prices, lower supply and lower production. Shares of the U.S.'s big three automakers fell in after hours trading. Hmm okay well shaking things up! I don't know why they price would fall because you think these guys the u.s. automakers would benefit but I guess the only car that's actually made here is Tesla

53:02 Yeah, the rest of them are made from parts from everywhere. Isn't there a carve-out for parts? No! Not yet. I think you're wrong Well, they've been talking about it. I listened to this morning. I was watching Outnumbered and They had Charles Payne on as the dude because there's a bunch of women in one guy And that's why it's called out numbers Yes And he went on about it and they talked about the car parts carve-out and it was like they were still unsettled ah well I'm just gonna interrupt them then we'll get back to your BBC anal clips This is friend analysis to sound what it is I know what it says.

53:53 We have again strongly urged the US government to exclude Japan from the scope of these measures. Other top suppliers hit hard by the attacks are Canada, Mexico Germany and South Korea Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney called it a direct attack on the country's workers. We will defend our workers we'll defend Our companies will defend our country. Currently, half the cars sold in the US are American-made and industry experts say the move could increase prices per car by thousands of dollars and impact jobs. President Donald Trump says it will revitalize American industry. We're going to charge countries

54:43 for doing business in our country and taking on jobs, taking our wealth. After a 25% duty on steel and aluminium this is Trump's latest move to renege on a trade deal he struck in his first term with Mexico and Canada the new tariff applies to cars and light trucks auto parts that comply with the 2019 deal will remain tariff free for now there you go Yeah, I don't think that's correct. Oh it's France 24 how could you doubt the French? Yeah i don't think they know what they're talking about all right okay so let's go with the analysis clips these should be fairly short here to make sense of that announcement is our north of america correspondent Erin Delmo clearest way through it is to think of it as a 25 tariff on all cars not made in the united states and no tariffs on cars made in the united states

55:34 He also made a mention that Americans would be able to deduct interest payments on their car loans from their taxes if their cars are made in America. You know, to me one of the big things that stood out is he said he's not budging. and that he's not putting this forward as a negotiating tactic to try to get concessions from America's trade partners in future tariff negotiations. He said, this is permanent we are going to bring domestic production, domestic manufacturing of cars and trucks back to the United States. What about car parts coming into the US?

56:08 Is there any clarification yet as whether they may face import duties? Because that would be significant, wouldn't it? Absolutely. Here's why it would be significant. Car parts can come in from foreign suppliers but they also are made in Mexico and Canada as well and then cross borders into the United States into US production facilities for cars that look to be US-made. They look and purport to be American made cars, but perhaps within the cars there are not American made parts those are foreign made parts and so now the question yes is will they be tariffed? The best indication and reporting we have now is that the answer to that question is yes it is yes that appears to be the case well there goes my Corinthian leather

56:53 Another boomer joke I'm easy. Yeah, I mean you're you're getting worse. I'm easing and I'm easing into it. I'm sorry The old-timers that listen to this show must get a kick out of us if someone hopefully somewhere does well the kids don't they go What the fuck are these guys talking about? So here we go with clip two. This announcement, I mean we are used to lots of tariff announcements this seems a pretty serious one because Donald Trump has clearly said he's not going to withdraw these tariffs

57:31 Absolutely. And it's a really interesting line in the sand and listening to Mark Carney there, you know having spent a lot of time in Canada you know the Canadian auto sector is hugely reliant this is hundreds of thousands of jobs billions of dollars so very significant but I think around the world now it's not going to affect Australia we don't make any cars anymore haven't for quite some time so won't have an impact directly in that way but these things have a tendency of having a big ripple effect right? and across other sectors. And you know, the steel aluminium tariffs that will be coming on to Australia already there's shaking the chain on drugs and medicines. That's something Australia provides a lot of medicines to the US and brings a lot in we have free medicines

58:18 policy or program for lots of Australians rely on the government to buy for no cost or low-cost medicines. Ireland's also worried about it, so... But I mean, can he really have a permanent tariff? I don't know whether that's possible. Unless he intends to be the permanent president, I wouldn't think there'd be permanent tariffs but I don't know and I don't think we should You're predicting too much at this point. Stephanie, it is a complicated issue and tariffs here because the global car industry operates in so many different parts of the world So you're sitting there in your office like oh yeah I gotta do this I got to get that laugh extra extra kooky We don't we don't...we do work for you people What was it? Shaking The Chain! I like that

59:09 shaking the chain. This whole thing is because, this is a non-significant or quite significant idea that he thinks he's gonna do you know this the global... You start to realize when you start hearing these analysis especially the moaning and groaning that takes place from everyone all the Australians now they're worried about this and that and all the Canadians think it's all about them You realize that the globalist entanglements have been set up so well. It's massive, it's massive. That it's like wow these guys... Trump is not gonna pull this off I don't think he's going to pull it off Oh I think he will oh I definitely think you will and I'll tell you why after your clips Okay alright Onward

59:54 Around 50% of cars sold in the US are imported. It is the world's biggest importer of cars, about 22 percent of those imports in 2024 came from Mexico Juan Carlos Beca Pineda, of course familiar voice on this program he's Mexico's former vice minister for foreign trade currently a researcher at the Pan American University in Mexico City. Quintus hello Juan Carlos! Hiya You know there's a lot going on in the world and there was a lot of confusion about many things You're in Mexico. I am, yes What do you make of this? It could have a huge impact on the car industry there. I love this! You're in Mexico Yes, yes, I'm a K2 Taliban Mexico

1:00:36 Yes, absolutely. The consequences of this are not entirely clear right now but as you say the impact on this is very significant because cars represent the largest export of Mexico to United States it also represents a significant sizable contribution of the GDP, anywhere between 8 and 9 percent of Mexico's GDP somehow is connected to the automotive industry. So the fact that these tariffs are announced and the fact that President Trump seems to have no regard whatsoever for the USMCA and its rules clearly is very disturbing right now today. The Minister of Economy Secretary Marcelo Ebrard

1:01:18 And his team are in Washington and it has been reported that they will be having meetings tonight and tomorrow with the people of President Trump's cabinet, the Secretary of Commerce. Clearly something has to be worked out because if the tariffs are imposed as the president suggests well then the impact on Mexico is going to be significant and it's going to change the mood I would say. between Mexico and the United States right now, and their relationship as it is going through some tense moments. And this clearly is not gonna help at all. Go on and on... So let's go to the last clip which I think another... so we have the Mexicans complaining, the Australians complaining—I don't know why they're complaining—the Canadians complaining, the Europeans complaining —everyone's complaining!

1:02:06 because they believe he's serious and I think he is. Let us hear a couple more voices now, firstly here's Glenn Stevens, he's executive director of Detroit based industry auto industry group Mitch Auto, you tell me these tariffs are bad news for the industry and customers? We don't see any positives in the short term we had anticipated this, the president had signaled this but About half of the vehicles sold in the United States every year are imported, 7.68 million last year so this is a significant shock to the system We also have steel and aluminum tariffs we have China tariffs now reciprocal and now these tariffs The cost of the vehicle, the input costs will go up

1:02:46 We expect anywhere from 3,000 to 10,000 depending on the transaction price of the vehicle. It will increase and in the US a vehicle already cost $49,000 to purchase new on average so it's already at an all time high we're concerned about this. We have a lot of questions right now tonight that were trying to sort through well. What's a tough one on your list that you're going to try and answer? Which is the one you, you're struggling with at the most of them. You should make sense of this. Yeah then the number 1 issue is our vehicles from Canada and Mexico because of the existing USMCA agreement are they included in this it appears that they are but we don't have confirmation of that And thats a big situation particularly for the companies based in Michigan Ford GM and Stellantis

1:03:35 So just to give you an idea, and actually one of our producers just posted that in the troll room. In the Netherlands you have something called BPM which is a special tax for cars And if you do the math... let me see.. A Ford Mustang which costs, what is it? $35,000-$40,000. Yeah In the Netherlands 120,000 after the VAT, the BPM, the climate tax all that stuff was put on but BPM is just a made up number It's like oh well you know we gotta tax you for that so Trump is not wrong No I think he's correct and when you look at

1:04:31 What I'm saying is that, I'm not complaining about his correctness or his righteousness about this. I'm complaining...not complaining but I am suggesting that the entanglements are so broad-based that it's going to be almost impossible to actually make any of this work. Well but this is the hill he's going to die on. This has been his thing For 30 40 years he's been talking about forever So now he has the opportunity and he means it any and he's trying to brand it, but he's not doing a very good job Well I may give a lot of countries breaks But we might be even nicer than that you know We've been very nice to a lot of countries for a long time but I call it Liberation Day April 2nd is liberation day

1:05:21 But today, as you know we did something with respect to Venezuela. You heard about that and that will be quite important. We'll be announcing some additional tariffs over the next few days having to do with automobiles cars and having also to do a little bit with lumber down the road lumber and chips are going to get all those chip companies coming back they're already coming back Without even doing it, so it's been very good But we'll be announcing some others but for the most part April 2nd will be a big day That'll be reciprocal day and will be bringing some of the money back that's been Taken from us. Let's be nice by using the word taken I don't want to use a stronger word because these guys are professional politicians And they don't like you hear those words I refuse to use the word stolen from us but

1:06:11 So it's Liberation Day, it's Reciprocal Day. It's... I don't know what day it is. It's April 2nd. He needs to work on- Well that's what you mean by he's not branding well? No! No, I mean if you're gonna do Liberation Day You need a media package, you need some memes out there on the internet of people with big F250s and Mustangs cruising around Yeah, it could be coordinated better. Not to mention much better there's really no he's sticking with us You know running a million miles an hour but not really coordinating anything in such a way that you have a big Splash that goes from one thing to another yeah So instead he has a very small announcement today We're delighted to report that Hyundai is announcing a major 5.8 billion dollar investment in American manufacturing

1:07:03 In particular, Hyundai will be building a brand new steel plant in Louisiana which will produce more than 2.7 million metric tons of steel a year creating more than 1400 jobs for American steel workers and then there'll be major expansion after that This will be Hyundai's first ever steel mill in the United States One of the largest companies in the world by the way supplying steel for its auto parts and auto plants in Alabama and Georgia, which will soon produce more than 1 million American-made cars every single year. The cars are coming into this country at levels never seen before. Get ready! This investment is a clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work and I hope other things also but the tariffs are bringing them in

1:07:52 levels that have not been witnessed. So a million American cars, well I mean everyone's going to buy an American car if you're gonna buy a car or American-made car I should say that part will work especially if you get...if you're allowed to deduct the interest on your car loan whoa now you're talking but that's a Congress thing too that's not an executive order is it? It's a tax thing yeah which is Congress The problem is we don't, you know with half the cars being imported until these reports came out I didn't realize that half of our... in other words our own automotive industry can't even keep up with Toyota and BMW and all the people that ship cars into this country. So we so half them are imported they'd have to double production of American cars which they're not gonna be able to do it you can't just double production yeah

1:08:49 Overnight and I think what one thing is gonna happen is the used car market. It's gonna heat up again Exactly, exactly. I'm like, I'm not driving my car. I'm keeping my miles but I'll need a car that's the problem Yeah, you need a car Do you have wind chimes in your studio now all of a sudden? Oh this is this This is these things in the back funny You know, I don't understand how that Mike can pick this up. It's my ears Well, I don't think anyone else can anyway does acid chat room again. I'm gonna we don't have a dream these trolls Trolls do you hear the chimes? I'm now I'm ringing them loud Yeah, well you hear that for sure well not necessarily That's on the backside of the mic is everybody hears it everybody hears it they all here that yeah They'll hear it huh yes

1:09:36 It's disappointing. It must be reflective, that could be it Of course one of the hottest car manufacturers right now is certainly not American BYD sales last year surpassed $100 billion mark beating rival Tesla on revenue for the first time since 2018 You wanted to say something? I'd like to know this BYD that i'm impressed with

1:10:23 But of course they don't sell any, even one car in this country. So the market possibilities for them is pretty high. I think you have the same question that I have about charging. How does this work? Well, I looked it up. It will charge within five minutes with a... Now they make it sound nice to say 1,000 kilowatt charger. That's a megawatt! You're going to put a megawatt charger in my house now?! No, it's not for... no the idea. No that's not the idea That's what I read! No, the idea is that you have gas station like facilities Yes That you drive to and you stick in just like a gas...in a normal gas station The big advantage we don't have a...I don't keep gas here at the house I go to the gas station within five minutes I fill up a tank of gas

1:11:14 The idea is that you should be able to do the same thing with an electric car as opposed to nowadays where you stop at one of these charging stations. You have to wait a half-an-hour for the car to get even a 300 mile, even a half charge it takes an hour or two hours sometimes to get a full charge. No I understand... So they want to make it so you don't have to charge at home? I understand but are you gonna get a megawatt at gas stations how was that going to happen One megawatt! That's a pretty big jolt. I mean, yeah yes you're absolutely right but that means you need a whole bunch of infrastructure to do what you just explained. The infrastructure is not there... You're right

1:12:00 They can't even affect Biden for the whole four years, if you recall. Right at the get-go in 2020 he says we're gonna build 300 thousand charging stations or some outrageous number it was at least 50 000 I'm not sure what the number is now because i've forgotten but he was going to build and he built one so BYD has a deal with Shell in Shenzhen and the airport has 258 public fast charging ports No, they're not. This five minute thing is brand new there's no way that they're going to have that many online right away it's gonna take forever so basically takes a megawatt yeah you know you can have some serious juice going in there So this is near the airport solar panels installed on roof could generate about 300 kilowatt hours of renewable electricity electronically used to charge vehicles I'm skeptical of that too

1:13:01 So, I mean a kilowatt hour. Especially in China or Iran that airport... With all the smog! There's no sun! Exactly so i'm skeptical about this announcement and to make them going to get the debt amount of power you have to have these coal burning you know power stations making the making this smog worse yeah yes i'm very skeptical about all that Yeah, I am too. I mean, they may have the technology but they don't think they have... Well sure! Sure. By the way, I'm skeptical about the technology to a little bit If i could get a megawatt of power, I'd be mining Bitcoin Come on man, if I charge my car and stay home and print money That's just a lot of power

1:13:53 One of the news girls, you'll recognize who it is. I don't know if it's CBS or NBC girl... talked to Warren Buffett about the tariffs and he had some interesting answers How do you think tariffs will affect the economy? Tariffs are actually we've had a lot of experience with them They're an act of war To some degree how do you think tariffs will impact inflation over time there are attacks on goods I mean What? Is that Nora? I think it is Nora, yeah. Yeah Well it's a highly edited piece but she's talking about inflation and he's talking about inflation but he's talking about money printing inflation as far as I'm concerned On goods...I mean you know the ferry doesn't pay up You always have to just

1:14:42 And then what? You always have to ask that question in economics. Always say, and then what? So is there an answer for that when people say inflation persists, consumer prices keep going up... When's the end in sight? No, prices will be higher 10 years from now and 20 years from now and 30 years from now And what do you think about what's happening in Washington right now? That's because of money printing. Of course it'll be more expensive 10 years from now, 20 years from now. Yeah always has been. We used to buy our Toyota trucks for $59.99 I think it was Washington It's you know technology changes things all kinds of things but Washington is Washington and the problem with politics is that it tend to have to make tiny compromises as you go along There you go, so they got they got him to say prices will go up But I don't think he was in the same conversation And we'll see. We'll see what happens. I mean it all comes down to what do want to buy? You know he's not taxing avocados

1:15:46 No tariffs on that. On a car? Wow, when's the last time you bought a car? 26 years ago? I bought this last car used of course. Of course. Bought it about seven years ago maybe Yeah that's what i'm saying It's not like oh no one will buy cars anymore We'll see In general though the economy of certain states is pretty bad Really bad in California. This was a shocking report, John! Shocking! Several businesses along the famed Sunset Strip have closed in recent months Others are on the verge and there is a community effort underway to save one of them KTLA's Annie Rose Ramos live in West Hollywood with more on that. Annie Rose good morning Hey guys good morning to you both Yeah we keep hearing about this happening over and over again We counted a total of five businesses and restaurants that have announced their closing just in the past week

1:16:47 Okay, so she's on the Sunset Strip. It's a big story an important restaurant is closing Which one is it you've been up and down the strip? You've been to La Dome It's not La Dom by the way. You've been to some of the cool places on Sunset Strip which one is closing Probably someplace I never heard of no you've heard of this one On The Sunset Strip I've been to this one many times I don't know. Here on the Sunset Strip, including the restaurant you see behind me, beloved Le Petit Four it has been around... Le Petit Four! That's where all the Russians in tracksuits hang out

1:17:26 I've never been there. You've never been to Lipiti 4? Oh, no For over 40 years and now some community members coming together to make a last-ditch effort in order to try and save it Take a look here they are posting this GoFundMe page Yeah with $6000 good luck keeping your restaurant going Especially on that property yeah but maybe the strip has just died It probably has Probably the last time I was down there. It wasn't that it didn't have the same Vibrancy that it used to have that's for sure man when I lived there didn't have that vibrancy was already horrible compared to like Late 80s early 90s when we go out to LA to film stuff no, it's no good Yeah There's a depressing aspect of la at the moment ah like San Francisco is this is a it's depressing because of all the homeless and

1:18:23 Just and it's got nothing to do with the California economy has to do with the policies regarding they homeless encampments and allowance of crime a lot of crime well But who lives in California just poor people on a bunch of rich people I'm just middle class in, California. It's not a lot of milk in the valley in the porn industry It's not generalized. Okay, all right you've got several series here so I'm gonna let you choose one. Let's see what we got because unlike you when you have a series I just step back and let you go yeah there's some of this

1:19:07 Let's do the order on... Oh, this is a quickie. This is an order on elections that didn't get any play at all? Oh I thought it was pretty big! Trump and the elections? I didn't hear much about it President Trump signed an executive order yesterday that aims to make sweeping changes to elections and voter registration, including a proof of citizenship requirement. Legal experts are calling it an overreach of presidential authority and warned that the provisions could block tens of millions of eligible Americans from voting. Joining us now with more is NPR's Jude Jaffe Block. Hi, Jude! Hello! Hello! Hello! Okay so what exactly is in this? Once again no time or expense spared for this program. Right right right well there's a lot in here and it lays out a number of new requirements and says if states don't comply they will not get federal funding

1:20:02 So one big change is this new proof of citizenship requirement to register to vote in federal elections. You'd need to show a copy of a citizenship document, like a passport, to a local or state official in order to register to vote, or whenever you update your registration—like if you move Another change, the executive order aims to stop states from counting mailed ballots that are postmarked by Election Day but arrive after. This is something that a lot of states allow. Wait legally can the president make all of these changes simply by executive order? Well that's really the key question so Trump is trying to assert that he as president has authority over elections and that's not been the case

1:20:44 We have a decentralized system where states make a lot of their own election rules. But this order seeks to expand the president's power and test how far it can go." Yeah, I don't think he's going to get that through. I like it but I don't think that's gonna happen. I agree not gonna happen. I did learn that in Title 18 of the U.S Code that if you vote in a general election as a non-resident and not, non citizen I should say. And your caught, you will not be prosecuted as long as you believed you were a citizen

1:21:22 Which is very interesting. I don't know when that snuck in, but it's like oh okay so you can do it if you get caught? Oh well no problem. You've already heard from voting rights advocates that lawsuits are going to challenge this And normally an overhaul like this would be something for Congress to take on. And in fact, Republicans have been backing a bill called the SAVE Act that includes a lot of the same provisions as this order. Oh man! That thing's been around for years, the SAVE Act. That's not new... It goes nowhere That bill likely faces an uphill battle in the Senate, so instead some critics are saying Trump is forcing through that legislation by executive fiat. Well what has President Trump said about why he's pushing these changes? Well he says it's necessary for election integrity here he is yesterday when he signed the order We gotta straighten out our election this country is so sick because of the elections and fake elections and bad elections

1:22:23 You know, of course Trump touts the results of the last election which he won but it's long been part of his brand to make false claims. False claims about voter fraud most notably when he denied the results of the 2020 election and in the lead up to this past election He and his allies made baseless baseless claims about the threat of non-citizens voting in large numbers which we know from audits and studies that such cases are really rare. Yet, that's what they're targeting here. Yeah OK well I'm curious how our voting experts reacting to this order? You know I just had an idea exit strategy does require work but we could get people to help us We could just do NPR remixed

1:23:01 And it's just doing exactly what you do. All those strange things they put in there, all of the little NLP tricks, all the hyperforas, all that stuff could just be NPR remix and it would be a popular stream! You know? Put into some music and we'd get a couple of our end-of-show mixers to put a beat under it... Yeah I'm sure NPR would take offense if we got a cease & desist for Well, for what? Copyright. For you... Well you know I think there's an argument that could be made that you could say it was for entertainment humor purposes. Yes! Parody under... What is it called? I don't know Fair Use? Fair use yes parody under fair use totally appropriate

1:23:52 Yeah, well until then I'm doing these. Well i spoke with UCLA law professor Rick Hasen and he brought up how very rare these cases of non-citizen voting are but that a proof of citizenship requirement would have a big impact and could disenfranchise millions of voters So you'd be using a very strict rule to prevent a very small amount of fraud, the intention seems likely to be to suppress the vote rather than try and make our elections filled with greater integrity. Of course And you know people are already asked on voter registration forms to attest under penalty for perjury if they're citizens and eligible to vote and they can face prison or deportation if they try to vote illegally Okay Say more No That's not true

1:24:38 Unless if they believe there were citizens, then that's no problem. Prison or deportation? Yes in fact that should have been in the report. In the report it should have been right in this. But it wasn't. Incorrect And you know people are already asked on voter registration forms to attest under penalty of perjury If they're citizens and eligible to vote and they can face prison or deportation if they try to vote illegally Okay say more about how Rick Hasen told you if this order stands millions of voters could be disenfranchised like How would that happen exactly Right. Well, past studies have found that almost one in 10 Americans doesn't have a proof of citizenship document or doesn't have easy access to one and this order is also a bit vague about even which documents would be accepted as proof of citizenship it doesn't explicitly name birth certificates it does name passports

1:25:24 But only about half of Americans have those they cost money and take a while to get so this rule would likely upend voter registration drives as well and other ways that America signing up to vote. This would really be a sea change Did I just hear it? An iPhone go Was that on the clip or was that you? It wasn't me. I don't have an iPhone. The upend voter registration drives as well and other ways that Americans are used to signing up to vote, this would really be a sea change. Oh yeah it was on the clip. I was going to say like wait a minute John has an iPhone! No So annoying that NPR, they just never have anyone on from the other side. They are just saying oh this is no good or this is bad or he's not going to make it through the course of the court. PBS is worse! Never! They have one side... It was brought up during the congressional hearings and I'm surprised you didn't have that clip where they asked this Maher woman

1:26:20 You know, you realize that they challenge the reporters. You had 87 reporters there all registered Democrats. There's not one Republican that works in the newsroom. Eighty-seven percent wasn't it? No, it was a total number. Yeah. Eighty seven to nothing. Thanks for saying your surprise. You should email me with that I'm surprised you didn't get that clip! I'm surprised you didn't get that clip because that was what I thought was a key element. Oh, it was surprise Big surprise, no Republicans at NPR. I know and she was like whoa that's interesting and she acted like she didn't know yeah that was the funny part about it what? What? Gambling! Oh I can't believe that She is a spook Okay...I want to...a couple of clips here That means this series don't go to the end

1:27:19 You used the word splash earlier. I can't remember... I did? Yeah, you said make a splash or something Well i think it had to do with Trump's approach without yeah maybe well because this is a word that we heard about a week ago and its back and you could say splash or you could say splesh for the Hague summit What I hope coming out of the Hague Summit is that it will really be a splash. A splash, a big splash! This is the splash this is Mark Rutte he's the head of NATO and this is the big Hague summit which he wants to be a SPLASH

1:27:58 projecting the collective NATO power and therefore also American power on the world stage. Yes, he's working for us still! Of course defending the Euro-Atlantic but I would even say to world states because it is not extending article 5 through the inner Pacific but working together as NATO also to make sure that we keep in the Pacific safe and that means spending more it means producing more Wait stop What does NATO stand for? North American Treaty. North Atlantic. North Atlantic Treaty Organization. What's that got to do with the Indo-Pacific? It's... North Atlantic is a very specific area. It does not make it different... It is the Atlantic Ocean, no northern part! You can make a splash in any ocean

1:28:45 So it does not matter where the splash is as long as it's a splash and it shows American power. And that means spending more, it means producing more... Spending more on war stuff! It means a fair distribution between the US and other NATO allies Yes, it's fair we need you not fair Europe. And as I said it will be about the lethality, lethality of NATO. Lethality! You know where we kill you with this stuff man? The NATO kill your lethalities and as I said it will be about the lethality, lethality of NATO showing that yes we will never be an offensive organization we are a defensive organization. Bullshit! We are defensive, we're not making any troubles. Tell that to the Libyan's. We're not making trouble but don't dare to attack us. Can somebody explain why they attacked Libya

1:29:38 Why do you ask these questions every time he's saying that we're defensive? Just shut up. Lethality of NATO showing that yes, we will never be an offensive organization We are a defensive organization but don't dare to attack us Don't you dare to attack us! Because you will not see the light of day again. And I hope that will be... This guy is the biggest warmonger in the universe! Don't you dare attack us! The real outcome after the Hague summit, a splash. A splash? Showing that reinvigorated alliance standing together one for all all for one We are the three Musketeers One For All All For One But but but but but but

1:30:24 Don't... this is not, we're not doing this because USA wants it. This is not about USA except you don't want to cross USA First of all by understanding that we do not do this because the Americans want us to do it but Because we need to do it's because of Russia We don't do it because the Americans, remember I will change my story at the end of this clip But it's not because Americans wanted And a threat By the way, by spending more you will also have a fairer burden sharing with the US because the US rightly is irritated about the fact that in Europe we have collected peace dividends and I myself as Prime Minister was part of that.

1:31:06 And that was wrong. Luckily, the Netherlands is now spending over 2%. Luckily! But collectively we have collected peace difference and rightly the US has irritated us so by spending more because of the Russian threat... The effect of that is also you have a fairish burden sharing with United States. It's not because America wants this just so you know it's not about that And yes, there are a few countries not yet at 2%. I would love to say that since I came in on the 1st of October things started to change. That was not true. But something on the 20th of January in the US and since then look what happened It's amazing it's not about America, what America wants for Trump who became president on January 20 but is amazing The Belgians have been saying we want to get 2% by this summer Spain now is saying they want to get to two percent this summer We know that Portugal Italy they all have these debates now And I tell them that

1:32:03 Well, now I am calling you to ask you to deliver the 2% by this summer so that collectively we can move considerably north of the 2%, because we have to spend much more than 2%. But this is not about America. This is not because America wants it! Now I'm calling you but you might get a very patient man from Washington on the line if you don't listen to me And I would love to listen into those phone calls, but let's hope they are not necessary. At this moment I must say that all these non-two percenters are having genuine debates to move to the two percent before summer." So all the non 2%'ers it's not about America But if you don't step up You might get a call from Washington and you don't want to get that call That's exactly what he said! That's exactly what he said...

1:32:55 Now we have to make sure that we all understand that this is long term. This is not just a Ukraine issue, I don't care what kind of peace deal is made it's never going to end. It's the result of 12 hours behind closed doors talk... Oh sorry wrong one here it is this is the one Well there will be no normalization of relations with Russia when the war is over That will not happen That will take decades because there is a total lack of confidence. The threat is still there, as I said in my speech even if the war comes to a conclusion the Russian threat is still there they are building a war economy They're spending so much money on defense It's a war economy! They are producing three months an ammunition what all of the alliance is producing in a year we are ramping up our ammunition production luckily we have to This is bullcrap

1:33:53 So there's no way that we can normalize relations with Russia after the war. No! I hope in many decades from now and post Putin, that might be some but... I mean i'm not optimistic Post Putin? This is the most outrageous thing you can say Well, even if we have a total truce there in Ukraine nothing's gonna normalize with Russia. Ever! Until... no post Putin post Putin post Putin and guess what Zelensky said? Ukrainian president Zelensky has claimed that his Russian counterpart Putin will die soon the remarks came amid widespread speculation about the Russian president's health Russia has strongly rejected all speculations and maintained the Russian leader is fully fit

1:34:43 The Ukrainian leader made the bold claim while speaking to French journalists in a televised interview after meeting French President Emmanuel Macron in Paris. Zelensky said Putin hopes to remain in power until his death and his ambitions are not limited Ukraine he added that the Russian leaders death would bring an end to the war between the two nations there have been continued speculations over Putin's deteriorating health videos have surfaced of the Russian leader with puffy face and making jerky movements He got puffy face and make it He's gonna die. He's got puffy face videos have surfaced off the Russian leader with puffy face and making jerky movements Some videos also showed him

1:35:28 Putin coughing continuously just last week that Putin suffered a mini stroke with video showing his legs shaking uncontrollably this was during a conference and interview and other times so What kind of a dipshit report was that? And he has restless leg syndrome, I guess. So he said it in Ukrainian and all the clips... France 24, Frans van Katra does not have any report of this even though he said it in France so I found that to be somewhat odd

1:36:04 But all the reports had, the mix was no good. Zelensky speaking in Ukrainian and the English translation is equally loud is very hard to understand but he says that's what he says oh Putin's gonna die soon anyway and then it will all end which is my mind a veiled threat Oh he's gonna die don't worry And if he dies no matter how he dies then it's all going to be over How does that work? Well, because it's the same thing. That's why they wanted regime change that's why the CIA said hey if you're living in Russia and you want to become a spook let us know here's our email address They've always... It's only Putin You never heard the Russian citizens are no good Never hear that! It's only Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin Putin The only baddie they have is Putin

1:37:01 And now, oh! The unthinkable has happened. We seem to be making headway with a peace deal... Oh no!" It's the result of 12 hours of behind-closed doors talks in a series of meetings over three days in Riyadh Two statements from the White House outlining separate agreements with Ukraine and Russia To ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea and to implement a ban on attacks by the two countries on each other's energy facilities Both sides agreed that third parties could oversee the truce. Separately, the United States also agreed that it would help restore Russia's access to the world market for agricultural and fertilizer exports – an incentive to Moscow blasted by Vladimir Zelensky. We believe this is weakening of position and weakening of sanctions in our opinion. We do not yet know details about this item and were no present at this meeting but it was not on our agenda

1:37:57 Nonetheless, Kiev said it would uphold its end of the agreement while calling for more talks to settle the details. The Kremlin meanwhile declared that the agreement could only come into force after lifting restrictions on its agricultural exports Earlier Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow didn't trust the Ukrainian president to uphold a ceasefire We need clear guarantees These guarantees can only be the result of an order by Washington to Zelensky The limited truce on energy and sea came about after Vladimir Putin responded to the originally proposed full 30-day ceasefire with a long list of conditions. The White House said Tuesday it would continue facilitating talks on both sides in a bid towards achieving a sustainable peace. Not quite the end the war in 24 hours that we were promised, I'm sorry that was sarcastic, he was being sarcastic so they're starting very very slowly

1:38:55 We need to make peace profitable again. I don't know how to do it Let's bring these clips in, this is Trump versus the EU on NPR. As we've reported before on this show US administrations at least as far back as George W Bush's have been pushing European nations to increase their defense spending but throughout the U.S has remained committed to the principle of NATO's article 5 which says that an attack against one ally is considered as an attack against all allies that commitment appears to have ended with with President Trump. Yeah, they go on with this one. Now for the record Article 5 of NATO has only ever been invoked once and it was by the United States. Bronislav Slonchev teaches military in war studies at the University of California San Diego When article five was invoked after 9-11 the Europeans responded Canadians they went then they died The British when did they die that everybody responded? Wait a minute didn't the French say that they didn't like it Didn't we have freedom fries for that whole reason

1:40:12 There was something of... where's the freedom for us derived from? It had something to do with it. Yeah, I thought the French were like nah, no we're not going to do that! I'll look it up That includes the French, by the way who supported the US by sending troops to Afghanistan. 89 of whom died and more than 700 of whom were wounded. Those Iraq war journalists. Public scorn for these sacrifices is just one barb on the arrowhead that has pierced the heart of the European-American relationship and shredded trust between them And it's galvanized European governments to make themselves independent of the U.S when it comes to their defense

1:40:48 But Fenella McGurdy says Europe was already ramping up its defense spending long before Trump came into office. Fenella is a senior fellow for Defense Economics at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London. In 2024, we saw record defense spending growth already 11.7% in real terms and that was itself an increase, so an acceleration from the level of growth we saw in 2023 which reached 5.2% and that was an acceleration from the growth year before." The EU plan announced last week will likely break new records it advocates a massive ramp-up of defence industrial production capacity and it unlocks a combined 866 billion dollars in military spending over four years

1:41:33 That's about what the US spends in a single year on defense, so Branislav says it's not even close to a conversion to a war economy. But it could still be good medicine for Europe. You know there is funny phenomenon I've noticed It goes basically like this. Well, Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump but we're gonna do that anyway. Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump well we were gonna do that anyway so it's not important. This is the same phenomenon you see with the NPR thing and there was other examples I've had on this show they say, oh its only 1% doesn't really... Oh they've taken all our money away but what's only one percent? Yeah yeah its only 1%, but still

1:42:16 Or the park services, like oh the government is making a great investment. The $10 billion on national parks generates 70 billion! What do you need the 10 for? I found this on and on just this idea that if you complain about something but then back it off and say well it's not important Just doesn't make any sense. Now, further on this... By the way this goes on forever The third clip is deep into the conversation near the end I just thought i'd put drop that in Everything is changing right now This current war things have evolved dramatically Initially for instance everybody was talking artillery and tanks That was a big thing Then the tanks turned out not to be super effective And now everything is drones and then the missiles right? Why is he laughing about that Is it because they're so cheap

1:43:08 It's like, drones? Now everything is drones and the missiles right. Why is that funny? That is an interesting... I didn't notice this but you're right. Why is it funny? It's a laugh tale but why? Drones! Drone, I don't know. Oh missiles! Everything is drones and the missiles right? And everything then is related to how you can keep electronic warfare from interference Do you have eyes in the sky so the satellites... So these are the kind of capabilities we should not be building to fight In other words the whole thing is a farce. I think that's why he's laughing War has become a farce

1:43:46 It's like, it just-it's like a video game. We just push this we just push that we got eye in the sky we go drones ha ha! We got missiles. Yeah its not really fighting in the trenches anymore the last three wars we should be building to fight the next one. Europe can do all sorts of things to move quickly, or at least more quickly than it usually does. It can convert old factories to make arms and reconfigure existing ones to become dual-use civilian and military production hubs. It can develop supply relationships with other arms providers like South Korea or Israel But whatever it does, it'll take time, Fenella says. And because of that the US will likely remain part of the European defense equation for the foreseeable future. It takes decades for a lot of these programs so I think that there's some level of dependence will always be there certainly in things like heavy lift

1:44:36 transport and things like that because those capabilities do take time to develop. And I think Europe could get there but not in perhaps in the timeframe it needs so there's always going to be that some level of reliance on the US and hopefully some partnerships going forward which ultimately is good for U.S defense industry as well Yeah, Eric Schmidt is a smart guy man. I remember we played clip of him all about drones, drones is the new warfare this is where it's going and there it is! There it is... It's all cheap technology to blow people up By the way food has been renaming food in time of war is not new

1:45:20 So Freedom Fries was indeed changed the name of French fries in 2003 France's opposition to invading Iraq which in hindsight, of course they were correct. Yeah so we punished them! We're going to show you frenchies World War I sauerkraut was renamed in America to Liberty Cabbage And frankfurters and hot dogs were changed to Liberty Dog. Liberty Dog We need to we need a we need an anti-russian kind of thing, but the thing is Russian food No, cuz Russians well vodka. I'm gonna change vodka Vodka you could change that freedom juice freedom juice I'm writing it down

1:46:14 Freedom juice. What else? Liberty sap! I mean there's all kinds of things... Liberty sap! Hey man, hit me with some liberty sap neat okay nice oh man the people are crazy the world has gone nuts it's gone nuts i tell you the world is going nuts well i do have a couple of uh these are clips i want to get out of the way This is the DEI DOA clips, there's only two of them. Okay... alright. President Trump has called for an end to- Oh you gotta warn me about that kind of stuff! You can't just launch into shush! Suffer and suck a tash! I'm Scott!

1:47:05 Simon. President Trump has called for an end to what he calls illegal diversity, equity and inclusion efforts so he has revoked a 1965 executive order that is guided generations of federal contractors on how to comply with non-discrimination laws as in Perez Andrea Shue reports that's leaving federal contractors who employ one in five workers in the US scrambling The end of Lyndon B. Johnson's executive order 11246 has kept Matt Camardella busy, his whole practice at the law firm Jackson Lewis is helping companies that do business with the government comply with that order and with other federal laws since Trump's return he's been fielding questions non-stop This is pretty much all I've been doing for last six weeks

1:47:52 The 1965 executive order required most federal contractors to take steps to identify and address barriers to employment for anyone, but especially women and people of color. Camardella says his clients took those responsibilities seriously. Every year, they'd analyze their hiring and pay practices to try to figure out for example if women were getting paid less than men. They plan out how to recruit a diverse workforce so that their hires reflected the pool of available workers around them. There was real risk in not doing this properly or at all for that matter But now things have gotten complicated

1:48:31 Not only has Trump revoked Johnson's executive order and halted its enforcement, the president has also issued his own executive order requiring contractors to certify that they're not engaging in illegal DEI. Yeah well you know it I didn't realize this went back to Lyndon Johnson No i didn't know that either but it doesn't surprise me strangely enough But it really, I mean the thing that people forget about DEI is it was a part of ESG. And the reason why companies all got on board with it is because if you were they had to score

1:49:13 And it was, I think it was the Blackrock guys. Didn't they come up with some board and this board determined... Yeah, Fink, Larry Fink Yes, the Finkelmeister and they had a score system and depending on your environmental social and governance score you became less or more investable by pension funds mainly That's why everyone got... It was real evil thing they did Yeah, they pulled the plug on it finally. Oh yes they did. Mainly because the investments were bad! The high-scoring ESG guys weren't good company. Lose your pants! A court has blocked that part of Trump's order for now still

1:49:55 Still, Camardella says the problem is... Nobody really understands what illegal DEI means. He says nothing about federal anti-discrimination law has changed — in fact he believes there's nothing wrong with a company carrying on with what it had been doing — looking at its pay practices or its hiring or outreach to ensure it's complying with the law. However there may be a perception that somehow that smacks of illegal DEI I'm very concerned. Jenny Yang headed the Labor Department office that enforced the 1965 executive order under President Biden, that office investigated employers and all kinds of industries tech manufacturing construction in 2020 Princeton University agreed to pay more than a million dollars in back wages and salary adjustments to about 100 female professors

1:50:44 after the government found pay disparities. The university denied it had discriminated against women, but agreed to look more closely at its pay practices Jenny Yang says the Office of Federal Contractor Compliance Programs, or OFCCP can claim many successes. So in the last decade OFCCP recovered for example over $100 million for women who were victims of discrimination Now under Trump that office is expected to be largely dismantled since its primary task is gone The Labor Department has not confirmed when that's going to happen Trump says ending illegal discrimination will allow people to compete based on merit. Speaking of DEI...

1:51:25 the Canadian Transportation Board released the data from the black box of, was it the Delta flight? The one that flipped over. They have not yet released the cockpit voice recorder which will be important to hear so just on the pilots... So indeed the first officer, the female co-pilot She had just about the, I mean she graduated from the right academy and it's all within the rules. Then you don't need 1500 hours but 1000 hours so she racked up another almost 500. She'd flown 56 hours that week and she was piloting which is very normal particularly when you note

1:52:15 that the captain, the pilot, the one actually in control of the entire flight not only a very high amount of hours but a trainer on simulators and real world. So that is exactly the scenario you want. You want pilots to be flying and learn how to fly and learn all kinds of scenarios when you have an instructor there next to her in this case There was nothing wrong with the aircraft, but there were wind gusts and this was a very hard landing. The landing gear is rated to drop onto the tarmac with a sink rate I think 760 feet per minute they headed at over 1,000 so what happened was as i said

1:53:01 is the full weight came down on the right rear landing gear. It snapped off and that's why the wing hit the ground, and then they were very fortunate how that all ended up so It's not necessarily a DEI issue. Now, there are female pilots out there who yell at me when I say this. This could have happened to any pilot but really the male pilot in command was in charge and he should have had his hands on the yoke He should've been following through the whole time so we'll see exactly what was said But I think this could've happened to anybody but it wasn't good. It was clearly human error

1:53:44 And that's your update from the air. Speaking of illegal DEI, there is another term that popped up in regards to the GLP-1 or as we say... I got my hair cut in Austin the other day and said what was it? Glut... What was the name of the compound Glutamate, glutamine. No it's not gluta-mine. Glutatide. Gluti-tudi. She pronounced in a French way and sounded kind of good. Oh semi-gluteus.

1:54:33 Because now every single hair salon hands out little flyers, little cards for the injection nurse which we learned just a few weeks ago. And you get your Botox, you get your lip fillers and you get your GLP-1, your semi glutates. What kind of place are you going to? Every place has that now, by the way. No they don't! Yes yes all... You're going to some sort of a screwball place or some sort of a place with an upper crust of Dallas or whatever, who would know Austin? Okay so first of all it's a women's hair salon mainly Well that would make sense Although the former New York banker also goes there I've been going to her for 15 years So when we left Austin i was not gonna give up on my hair relationship

1:55:21 But it's good because she is definitely libtard adjacent, but she has no problem with my views and we always have a really nice conversation. And she always... Because she has no one to talk to about how crazy people are. No one in her life not her partner nobody She can't just say- Is she lesbian? No! No, she's not lesbian. She's a deadhead though She goes to Vegas to sit in the sphere three nights in a row. And she loved John Mayer, but you know like she has no one in her life where she can... How old is this woman? She is 47 I think, 47. What does that have to do with anything? I just want to know who would go to Vegas and sit in this sphere for three days unless they were as young stoner. Thousands and thousands of people

1:56:15 Young stoners. Yes, and so she... And Vegas is now legal to be stoned everywhere I walk around the whole place smells like weed You can drink though on the street? yes you can smoke weed on the street too But now the hotels, the casinos everything smells of weed. Anyway it's horrible it's nasty to get to the point in the story so she can't just say oh I enjoyed watching Trump on Rogan she can't say that to anybody in her world in Austin and despite the fact that Rogan is in Austin he's a local yeah no that's uh that is not done And she said that she had a client the other day and these are just, yeah maybe upper crust I'm not sure but white Austin women. And the topic of Tesla came up and Elon's like eh well you know... Her customer said, You know he is Nazi right? My girl was like

1:57:19 No, he is a so these people These are educated people Actually believe he is a Nazi because like a literal not literal not just like a name you call someone know He's a Nazi. He is an actual Nazi Exactly anyway back to the It was a fun trip worth the drive trust me Back to this illegal term when it comes to the semi-glutides. Listen to this! A new report reveals illegal ingredients in knockoff weight loss drugs that are flooding into the United States Shabbir Imber Shaftar is the executive director of The Partnership for Safe Medicines and the coauthor of this new report he's joining me now live hello to you so illegal ingredients now when you hear that what is the first thing you think? Apparently nothing

1:58:19 You walked away. You walked away during my report! I didn't hear it Are you peeing? Do you just like... You always forget that i have speakers. Do you have something else to do? Yeah, the phone was ringing off the hook Well we've been doing this show for over 17 years take it off the hook already And and I listened to the clip and the clip was going on and on and I said well this clip is gonna go on long enough that I can walk over to the phone and take it off the hook and you can hear it beeping back there And then you come on with a question out of the blue. Oh, no! I thought we were doing a show but oh no... No? Okay did you understand the question would you like me to restart the clip and do the question again and we can end it out? Well I heard the clip I could hear that clip the question was vague

1:59:05 I'll play the clip again because you... It was about, no it's about what ingredients. No! They're illegal? Yeah You said what ingredients were illegal? No, when someone says an ingredient is illegal What does the, this is a news report What do you think that means And that what you just said is different than what I just said That your contradicting and said I didn't know what you were talking about Answer the question go What do I think that Mark Levin! And so, uh... go. The- the uh what do I think it means? It means that something's toxic Yes that's my point Thank you for answering the question correctly You go on to our second round Of this new report he is joining me now live Hello to you Hello and thank you for covering this critical safety information Clearly a PR guy

1:59:58 He's not a doctor, he is a PR dude. Of course you know let us start with what you found and what your report reveals when it comes to these illegal weight loss drugs that are coming into the country? Now all of sudden the whole thing is illegal So in our report we studied shipments of semaglutide and trizepatide The active ingredients in these very popular weight loss medications that were coming into the country and found that there were shipments that were declared as being made in factories, that the FDA did not even know of. Were not registered with the FDA and certainly never inspected. And some of them were marked for compounding which is a great concern of ours because there's been some issues with compounding these medicines and safety." So it's not that they were toxic ingredients They came from labs that the FDA had never heard of... This is a PR move

2:00:51 Because it's just semi-glutide, which is a non patentable peptide. But oh they came from labs the FDA has never... It's illegal! It's illegal!! Okay so are these legal ingredients getting into them? Oh boy she really punches that one up. Yeah she punched it up didn't she I like that. Which is a great concern of ours because there have been some issues with compounding these medicines and safety Okay, so are these illegal ingredients getting into the legal... It was in her script. I think it was italicized in her script like and really punch this one up because this is a disguise paying to be on okay So are these illegal ingredients getting into the legal supply of these drugs if that makes sense?

2:01:34 It does make sense. We don't actually know enough because the FDA doesn't publish where the shipments went, we only know that there were nearly 200 shipments that came in and that were made in places that could never have been safe even if they'd been known to the FDA One was a JW Marriott There is another one at Health Fitness Club and another one at high school in Canada None of those could possibly even believably be legal or legitimate or safe facilities And then he adds safe Legal or legitimate or safe So the message is get your brand name drugs everybody, get them now because all of your congress people have been paid off by them according to RFK Jr. Today over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempick with Medicare at $1500 dollars a month

2:02:22 Most of these members have taken money from the manufacturer of that product, a European company called Novo Nordisk. As everyone knows once the drug is approved for Medicare it goes to Medicaid and there's a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as six over a condition of obesity that is completely preventable and barely even existed 100 years ago. Since 74% of Americans are obese, the cost for all them if they take their Oseptic prescription will be 3 trillion dollars a year This is a drug that has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe It's a Danish company but the Danish government does not recommend it. They recommend to change your diet

2:03:11 to treat obesity and exercise. Virtually Novo Nordisk's entire value is based upon its projections of what Ozempic is going to sell to Americans For half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase regeneratively raised organic agriculture or organic food for every American three meals a day and gym membership for every obese American Why are members of Congress doing the bidding of this Danish company instead of standing up for American farmers and children? Because Novo Nordisk is one of the largest funders in medical research. The media, and politicians, and the medical schools all go along with them I like the calculation! I think we should give away organic food three meals a day to everybody and a gym membership. I'm all for that Put it on Medicare Here's my Medicare card Give me my beef

2:04:06 Talk is cheap, Bobby. Get on the stick already." I think there was a... Yeah actually did that and I'm with you on this talk is cheap get on the stick The main thing is let's get these advertisers off TV for starters which he has been threatening to do now He came up in the conversation just recently but there still no action Media of course won't be too happy about it Why not? That's where half their income comes from Oh, the media. I thought you said Mimi. Why would Mimi be upset with that? I have screaming mimi's in my brain ever since you said it. Screaming mimis is a phrase. Yes! I never heard it but learned something. There has been rumor going around and people like Zero Hedge even published it. No unusual whales.

2:04:56 There's a rumor that he's gonna do it. He's gonna do it, he's gonna... Gonna do it? He's going to do it! He's gonna ban Big Pharma advertising but I think that started with the parody account on X which a lot of people... Well he promised he was going to do it Was it true promise? It is one in three But let me just say one... What was it? Advertising Let's listen to it again. I'm not intimidated by the agencies, I know how they work and I know how to change them and most of those changes you do not need Congress for. The President, President Trump could have done it had the power to do it himself and president Biden has the power to do it himself And I'll give you an example with a stroke of the pen You can change back the rule that allows pharmaceutical advertisers To do direct-to consumer ads on television

2:05:59 That's one of the big problems. That's why, one of the reasons we have this entrenched agency capture not only of Congress because they control the airwaves, they control evening news 75% of revenues for those evening news shows are you know Anderson Cooper is coming from Pfizer and other pharmaceutical companies so and those companies are dictating content on those shows and dictate the official narratives And I have another clip here where he talks about it on Rogan. You know, ambitions have completely subsumed the regulatory function of those agencies and that has to end you know one of the things we need to do too is get rid of pharmaceutical advertising There's only two countries in the world that allow it One is New Zealand The other is our country Everybody who is knowledgeable against

2:06:52 uh... it and not only has compromised you know as compromise public health we now we take largely because that advertising we take three or four times the amount of drugs is european state and drugs at the number three killer in our country pharmaceutical drugs a number three killer after cancer and heart attacks they're not making us healthier we have we spend more on health care or point three trillion in the country and the world. In terms of our health outcomes, all of these drugs... The pharmaceutical industry is not making us safe. And you know we changed the rule in 1997. Prior to 1997 like cigarettes and liquor you couldn't advertise on TV We changed those rules and FDA allowed the pharmaceutical companies

2:07:45 advertise and they not only now have a platform from which they can tell everybody you're sick, you need this, you need that. But also they are able to dictate content on television so they can dictate content on the local news. And on YouTube Yeah of course. Okay get to it Bobby! Yeah we're waiting yeah because then we can finally get some big pharma ads on the podcast Oh, John I just got my Ozempic. I'm feeling great! I'm down 8000 pounds. I heard a drug advertised on the radio the other day like Restora or something

2:08:30 They have some of the more recent ones. I would guess are recording some of these because they're pushing a lot of drugs onto the TV that I've never heard, and they're all new and they got the worst side effects. And the worst names, but names are really bad in the side effects or just off their wild. Let me think what this was called it restores your muscle mass when you're on GLP-1 drugs Wow, it's called steroids. No no no! It was something like Restora. Do you like being thin but your legs are breaking? We've got Restora! Oh man it's so bad and that was kind of my point when I saw the card. You know get your Botox, get your lip fillers

2:09:28 They gave you a... okay, this is like a Shaggy Dog story now. I should have taken it with me! We're back at you didn't take the card with you? No It's got a cute one Oh wait a minute You go on and on about how great it is to go to Austin as always worth the price of admission you give me grief for just even suggesting anything then you leave the card?! I know I feel very bad about that You should. Inject... here, maybe I can find it. Injection nurse Austin. This but this so they put it- So there's an injection nurse at your hairdresser? Well she comes in and here 63 nurse injector jobs available in Austin Texas this is wow 29 to 56 dollars an hour injection nurse jobs in Austin no hiring! Wow It's called an aesthetic nurse

2:10:20 So they come in and Botox you or give you some GLP-1 in the gut? Yep. What else can they do, shoot you up with steroids or can they do anything else that's worthwhile? Well I think that's the upsell is the beer. The nurse, the Austin nurse, this is the Austin nurse concierge injection specialist It's concierge. I love that! Here we go, the Austin nurse is an experienced injection specialist committed to providing excellence in concierge injection administration and training We provide help with fertility medications anti-coagulants semiglutides like ozempic blood glucose and insulin injectors and more yeah so she'll come to your house she's got a blog nice

2:11:12 Yeah, but this is the thing. This is what people are doing You've heard of Botox parties certainly No? Women actually talk in mls How many ml's did you get as in milliliters? Yeah it'd be a milliliter yeah How many ml's oh I got 10ml's What do you charge per ml Oh its only $79 dollars per ml It's sad All women are fake. Not a single one is un-unbotoxed, I'm just guessing. I think there's plenty of unbotox gals out there Yeah? What do you think about Pam Bondage? Oh she's definitely got botox in the forehead You ever see her raise her eyebrows? Nope! Ever? Nope even when she said top guy and the eyebrows did not move. Top Guy.

2:12:09 And with that I want to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in shaking the chains say hello to my friend on the other end The one, the only, the legendary Mr John C. DeMora! Well in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry and more ship sequences of graphing the air subs of the water of the dames and knights out there In the mornings of trolls we troll Romey Hedgey for a second We may not make another four years John Only 1890 today That's average to me. You are, your numbers are off because ever since you started giving me crap about it I started tracking it. Yeah and 18 is the classic and 24 on Sunday No! The last 100 show average is 1904. Yeah well that's not the number I've ever heard

2:12:58 Yeah, but I'm looking at the numbers baby. I got the numbers like yeah You got numbers it but there are not the numbers you've been reading for the last 10 years Yes when you do the numbers you can go back and listen to past shows is 1600 1700 1800 1800 800 of this The number times you said 1900 for a Thursday show is so low It's like maybe once them once every few months But somehow it's the average It's the... I call bogus. You can call whatever you want, bogus. Speaking of old shows, I have a throwback. Do you wanna do this special bonus clip? Sure! And then it has to play two clips out to play the setup clip first and the set up clip is something that we all probably heard about

2:13:55 A year from now 23andMe will be... A year from now 23andMe will be growing and thriving. Five years from now, 23andMe will transform healthcare That was Anne Wojcicki CEO of the genetic testing company 23andMe she told us that back in November and now there's word that Ann has resigned and 23andMe is filed for bankruptcy protection Nancy Chinn is here with what this means for customers Nancy when I woke up to this news this morning sad and disappointed here because I know how hard Ann worked, and I know how much she loves this company. And there's a lot of customers who have also loved it for a long time so big surprising news for many but the DNC... No one loves the company! For a long time? I love 23andMe! Yeah yeah I use their services all the time every couple weeks. I love this company! Makes no sense! There are a lot of customers who have also loved it for a long time

2:14:51 It's amazing news for many, but the DNA testing company 23andMe has been facing serious financial challenges for months now. Last fall it announced major corporate restructuring and that's when concerns of what could happen to users' data started surfacing On Friday, the Attorney General of California where 23andMe's headquarter urged customers to request their information be purged. He says they should consider invoking their rights and directing the company to delete their data and destroy samples of their genetic material he said if 23andMe were involved in a bankruptcy merger or sale personal data may also be sold or transferred. No say it ain't so! Really?

2:15:34 Episode 599 of the best podcast in the universe September 29th 2013 is when we gave our first of many warnings about this. Here's what I want you to be cognizant of, when you sign up for 23andMe and you get on your little social network and sharing your little genetic defects Be wary as to who else has that information and at some point in the future Bill Gates might be going, well... Is that you? Yes. That's me What a muddy mic This is dangerous It was, to be fair it was 12 years ago. I didn't have the great mic that we soon will be selling to everybody. You walked right into that one pal! I did. Why don't you just throw... Here let me get a couple more softballs here to toss ya How about a book?

2:16:27 Or just the website since we're doing a donation segment. Dvorak dot org slash NA is not where you want to go, you want to go to... You can go there it's got stuff you can check on It's got outdated links its got the PayPal links don't work anymore come on Okay I'm fixing that site tomorrow If you don't fix it, I'm... There you go. I will stick my finger in the holes if it's not fixed and not doing a show that's it because I'm done. I'm boycotting the show! If you don't fix the website Thank You trolls who are hanging out on the troll room Everyone's writing it down in their own red books yeah there you go

2:17:10 The trolls are listening at trollroom.io or perhaps they're even on one of those modern podcast apps which are quite swanky indeed you can... Swanky? They're very swanky people like wow what app is that?! Oh, that's my modern podcast app of course oh that's beautiful What does it do? Well, it alerts me when my favorite shows go live. Including the Noah Jenner stream and you can listen to it live in the app. What?! You could do that in that app in a podcast app oh yeah! And with my favorite podcasts when they publish a show within 90 seconds I know exactly there boom again alert what I'm on Apple and sometimes it takes hours

2:17:54 That's why you want to go to podcastapps.com everybody, it's enhancements brought to you by the friendly folks at podcastindex.org Value for value is how we continue to somehow muddle through our last four years or our four more years I should say People send me links like You said that when Trump won the first time! That's correct But now we mean it for real Four more years And So we don't have ads, although people have found some interesting loopholes in our system. Yes they have! Loopholes indeed Some really good loopholes People are like hey man I'm making a killing on my business through that no agenda show it's fantastic here is what you do You become an executive producer or sadly chief associate executive producers Chief associate yeah

2:18:51 Yeah. The loophole is phenomenal, I love it! And now the way you can support the show is multi-pronged you can support us with your time your talent or your treasure and time and talent um you know people send clip ideas which always helps when they send time codes that's really highly appreciated People do organized meetups, they do jingles and show mixes. There's tons of stuff that people do run service for us everywhere servers are running everywhere like noagendaartgenerator.com which is where you can upload and it's actually it's had its ups and downs throughout the years but I'm in generally...I mean I don't have to maintain it but this I'd say it's a good deal for us we don't have to hire someone to maintain it uh and then we have the artists themselves

2:19:42 Who create this artwork for us and then we use that to draw attention to the show. It makes us look fresh every single time And we looked funky fresh with the artwork for episode 1749 We titled that show gynocracy or as I like to say gynocracy, and it was sir Shug aka faux diddley who came in with the winning piece that we picked uh the flexible eyes Live from Ursula Studios which was it was a poppy piece You know, it was definitely related to the show. And it popped all kinds of boys and girls dancing. They were flexing their legs... Did you get the note from the woman who used to be a jazzercise person and sent the original art? No!

2:20:26 Oh yeah, one of our producers had something to do with the original art which was jazzercise. Really? It had the same dancers only they were kind of different slightly different and the same basic logo this is where it came from oh so it's a ripoff! It's a ripoff she thought it was a compliment well of course it's a compliment but that's so cool but it was a ripoff but I'm wondering whether Sir Shug Developed it by Hank because to do a ripoff you had to have the originally develop a kind of a copy of it or AI Actually, I'll be there could be. I got an AI story for you for later Yeah, so yeah, I have a couple AI clips good when you do your clips? I'll bring the story. I don't know about that. I do I'm in control who's driving You're like the DEI hire on this show Shut up

2:21:25 No laughing. So we appreciate that of course, we use many of the pieces of art for our chapter artwork which Dreb Scott diligently does for every single show We appreciate it very much. We looked at a couple other things Creepy was helmet hair by Blue Acorn Which was Ursula That must have been an AI job but that's pretty interesting how it turned out Yes, everybody liked to harangue me about the Hague is the new Dutch capital. It's not Amsterdam! That's actually contentious we talked about after the show it's not a pure capitalist it was like a... No, it turns out that there are two capitals of Holland

2:22:10 And it turns out, and we also did a little research after the show. It turns out that there's about 10 countries that have dual capitals. Because the technical description of a capital is where the government has its seat. Oh! That was the term...it was a strange term Yeah, we looked at it. I think we used AI to do the research Really? Well that includes Chad GPT you're talking about you're always doing that That's exactly what talk about when you play your AI clips There was a term I can't remember what the term was

2:22:50 Yeah, so yeah Holland has two capitals. The origin of this capital confusion goes back to the Middle Ages back then. The Hague with the seat of government for the country of Holland and the courts of Holland Amsterdam was just your ordinary up-and-coming center of trade Anyway, fine. All right? Fine everybody do funny artwork I'm good. I'll say I was wrong. I'll say it was wrong but we're wrong technically The capital is where the government seats And what else did we have there were deep fake nudes No, there was a meter girls got a nice note We've got a couple of notes from Scientologists hello Scientologist Yeah, we have a number of Scientologists that were

2:23:33 Chuckling about our email. Even the producer who gave us meter who gave us the e-meters he still listens I love that yeah, that's funny Yeah The thing is he turns out We didn't mention this necessarily, but I forgot about it. He says his dad was a big shot in Scientology and he had a bunch of these E-meters and he couldn't sell them get rid of them after his dad died because if you try to sell him on eBay the Scientology community goes after you and makes life miserable. Oh no! They knock on your door say hey Don't give away our technology. So the guy says, hell with it I'll just send them to these two bozos and so he sends us a couple of these e-meters And we still have them! We still have them because... We didn't reach! Right? I'm using them all the time Yeah So i got another note from another Scientologist who made the point He said you should charge the E meter To make the battery last longer Because we probably haven't charged anything ever No, I've not

2:24:33 Oh, I should do that. Also, I got another note from... and I shouldn't say he's a Scientologist but people who are members of the Church of Scientology and said- So that would be a Scientologist? Yeah well, that's not how he introduced himself And he said you have a lot of... Okay, I'll use your term You have a lot of Scientologists listening to this show because there is a big crossover with you guys between your stance on vaccines, etc., other pharmaceutical products. Then there was something else. Your desire to have tax-free income, I think was the other thing? It makes sense! So hello Scientologists you're welcome here everybody's welcome here yeah we've never had a problem with anybody at least and we got some free e-meters hey it beats a punch in the head

2:25:31 Free you got that. I'd like to send it the guy got the e-meter, but we didn't get the pretty girl with it That's what it was So thank you very much sir sugar aka foe diddly We appreciate your support of the show as always and that brings us to our executive an associate executive producers Would like to thank them separately just like Hollywood does you know? I watched I watched another movie I watched a flight risk which is Mark Wahlberg and And, uh... Is this another movie you watch without Tina because she doesn't watch these kinds of movies? No. The last Wahlberg movie I watched was pretty dumb so I think if i'd suggested another one she might not have gone for it but it was really good and a lot of it took place in a Cessna airplane and at the end boom credits executive producer and director Mel Gibson like wow he's running for governor Of what state California Really

2:26:27 Yep. Wow, that would be... I think he might be able to even get the job. Wow wow because if Kamala Harris runs there's gonna be a backlash against her cuz nobody likes her no and people always like yeah you know let's give him a shot what's it gonna how bad could it be? It's Mel! He is pretty successful with movies He knows what he's doing. So we thank everybody $50 and above so you can keep track at home if you feel called to do that but we really just like to thank people and share with you the support they have given because it does keep the show going for four more years

2:27:04 $200 or above you get a credit like Hollywood and associate executive producer credit, and that is good for your lifetime. You can use it anywhere put it anywhere if anyone questions that we will vouch for you can use It on your resume as example three hundred dollars and above We will give an executive producer credit in both cases will read your note If it's within reason and not too long oh, we've got a long one here today I see em And and that gives you the same credit which you can then use on IMDB.com So we'll start off with our first and topic top guy top executive producer executive producer of episode 1750 The Archduke of Central, Florida I don't remember his his actual pre-Duke name but he lives in Winter Park, Florida and

2:27:53 And he came in with a, actually gets a double credit for this because he also gets a show number donation $17.50 Yeah that was a good one Which he says here to fore known as the Blofeld Donation from Archduke of Central Florida Keep up the Queen Ursula clips very informative five more years He says oh he's skimping five more years Five more years. Well, if we get more people that donated $1750 every show we'd probably do five more years Explain the Blofeld donation because I really forgot...I don't know! I don't remember What is Blofeld? Blofeld was one of the evil characters in the early James Bond movies Oh okay well now it's Stavros Blofeld He always used to have a big white cat and he would wear this gray outfit And had a scar on his face and he was bald and he was nasty

2:28:46 Thank you very much, Archduke of Central Florida. And yes we will now call this the Blofeld donation 1750. Clifford Remersma in Milwaukee Wisconsin $350.93, just bought a pair of work boots for $330. I figured it was time to invest in another luxury that helps me through the work day. That's the show, The No Agenda Show! That's 333.33 plus fees.

2:29:29 Two-thirds to the knighthood. Two... two thirds of the way to the knighthood, could I get a relationship karma please? Yeah absolutely He totally understands the system You've got karma That's exactly how you should see the show. He got something out of it and he put it right back in that's the value from a value model right there. Yeah, you look at these shoes. You said these are 300 bucks on it. They're going to protect by probably has steel toes and he said well you know what this is protecting my brain I have one rule which Tina and I adhere to if you're using anything on a daily basis you might as well get a good one so if it's a mattress if it's a pillow

2:40:26 You're a future president, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah that's what she is thinking of. That's what on her mind And then this one from Jasmine Crockett Everyone is losing their mind over this I think this way overblown A congresswoman from North Texas is causing controversy Over recent comments she made about Governor Abbott Fox's Stephen Dyle explains. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett is being called out by other elected officials for her comments last Saturday at a human rights campaign event. Referring to Governor Greg Abbott as Hot Wheels, Abbott was partially paralyzed when a tree fell on him decades ago I think this is stupid

2:41:14 It's actually a cool name. I think Governor Hot Wheels is pretty funny. Everybody, ooh! Outrage! Oh, can't believe she said that she made fun of the man in the wheelchair. How hypocritical is that? Like when Trump makes fun of people's ears and eyes, height and whatever. Oh it's great! This is actually... I have to say as a nickname i think it's pretty cool. I'm gonna call him Governor Hot Wheels from now on. Okay What did you think? Did you think anything of this at all? You didn't even know your loss was so big. Well everybody talked about this. And I thought it was..I think you're right It was overblown

2:41:59 I think it was kind of at the... she gave it at a human rights convention, which I think that was the wrong audience. Well there's that! I mean it was like you know ableist kind of thing Wow, you are the DEI hire. You use the term ableist? Yeah I'm just because that's the nature of when she says it yeah i think the venue was wrong and so she wasn't thinking but she said dummy so who cares what she says It still was funny! It is funny and I think high wheels is a good nickname for the guy. Yeah from now on... Although I never see him moving very fast in that thing Well that's kind of the funny part

2:42:37 It's like, this is what you do. You give people nicknames based upon their physical appearance and we do this all the time on the show Yes, we do it all the time. Okay so... But we're not in front of a human rights convention when we do it Well you are in front of Scientologists I mean Yeah that's true and we get the Scientologists We haven't really given anyone grief No Do they really donate to Scientology or they don't? You know its a good question We'll have to take a look and go back to this research Let's do a little couple I got a couple clips which kind of have a little gotcha in here that is worth talking about This is about religious

2:43:16 quitting. This is on NPD, especially when people are brought up in a religion and they quit! Hell no! People around the world are switching religions or leaving religion altogether A new study from Pew Research finds that large portions of adults no longer practice the faith in which they were raised Pew surveyed nearly 80 thousand people in 36 countries NPR Religion correspondent Jason Derose reports Switching is especially common in East Asia, Europe and the Americas. Kirsten Lesage is the study's lead author. Out of the 36 countries that we surveyed in, the three countries with highest rates are South Korea

2:43:56 Spain and Canada. In South Korea, Pew found that 50% of respondents had changed religions in Spain 40 percent said they'd left their childhood faith in Canada the number is 38 percent by comparison in the US 28 switched The Saj says two religions were most affected. The religious groups that have had the largest losses from religious switching are Christianity and Buddhism. The Saj says that change is particularly acute in parts of Europe For example, Italy has the highest ratio of people leaving to people joining Christianity For every one person who becomes Christian, about 28 Italians are leaving the religion. The biggest gains were among those who have no religious affiliation which is a group that includes atheists agnostics and those who describe themselves as nothing in particular So it's not the case that people are necessarily switching from one religion to the next

2:44:51 For example, there's not a lot of switching from Christianity into Islam. Rather, Lesage says most switching is people leaving religion altogether Yeah, well this is an interesting choice of words but maybe I should hold my white Christian nationalist perspective until the second clip? Yeah. I would say because there's a...I have the sense that they're trying to slam the Christians here in some funny way and I think the second clip has an exemplification of that

2:45:27 It's a tricky one and we'll listen to it. I'll ask you a question Oh a question Well, well let me go and walk away from the microphone So at least we're fair Meanwhile specific religions in some countries appear to be stickier than others You found very small percentages of the overall adult population have left or joined Islam in most of the country surveyed And nearly all people who are a joint or left Islam Very few people leave Islam. You found very small percentages of the overall adult population have left or joined Islam in most of the countries surveyed and nearly all people who were raised Hindu in India and Bangladesh still identify as Hindu today

2:46:09 Judaism's retention rate is also high. In Israel, 100% of people Pew surveyed who were raised Jewish still identify religiously as Jewish. In the U.S., 76% of those raised Jewish still identify that way today with most American Jews who've left the faith now identifying as unaffiliated." Pew also found that 19% of U.S. adults raised as Christian now identify as religiously unaffiliated. Jason Derose, NPR News. All right! Interesting report from Pew... So I'm going to ask you the question. Okay? Why do you think more Christians have become unaffiliated in the United States than Jews?

2:46:54 I can answer the first question, but the second one well you you are a Jew this not just a religion they consider themselves to be part of a population group and also not white. Well wrong According to Pew what did pew say? Pew said that more Jews than Christians have left the faith in the United States But you heard it differently, didn't you? I sure did. The fact that you could try to answer a question that was a misleading question based on what you thought you heard! Wow do i need to listen to that again to hear correctly? I'll explain what they did and then you can listen again. What they did was the old switch where they gave me the wrong side of the equation

2:47:47 you had to do the math in your head to understand what the leaving rate was and then they gave you the right side of the equation. This is NPR by the way, and then they gave you the right side of the equation for the Christian part of it in fact if you listen carefully I'm 24% of the Jews left and 19% of the Christians left the faith. Let me hear that, it's in the second clip or in the first clip? It's in the second clip right at the end. Wow let me move forward a little bit... That was wow! I got duped! You surveyed who were raised Jewish still identify religious... Oh I guess to go back a little bit

2:48:24 still identify as Hindu today. Judaism's retention rate is also high in Israel, 100% of people Pew surveyed who were raised Jewish still identified religiously as Jewish in the US 76% of those raised Jewish still identify that way today with most American Jews who've left the faith now identifying as unaffiliated Pew also found that 19% of US adults raised as Christian now identify as religiously unfiliated. Jason Derose, NPR News. Good catch! Wow I teased this early in the show with half a decade? With the half a decade yeah This is the kind of stuff that NPR pulls there's no reason for them to do it that way to say 76 percent and then

2:49:16 stayed and then 19% left for the Christian side, it gives you the sense that the Christians are bailing out. And in fact the opposite is actually true! That's why I thought you answered a question that really was a faulty question based on bull crap. Wow! Thank you, that was very good media deconstruction at its finest. I tip my hat to you, sir! Thank you very much. I will say the thing that I was focused on is the term religion. Religion...I am not religious, I do not belong to a religion and also when they say well all these Christians in Rome well their religion is Catholicism

2:50:00 It is in fact, and I do track this and I talk to different pastors about this. We are seeing record numbers of people leaving the Baptist Church and the Catholic Church And they're going non-denominational or just our believers and have faith So I think the whole study is somewhat skewed because if you actually look at the zoomers They're buying Bibles like no one else's business. It's up over 20% in the past year Yeah, I think that's veering off what the topic was. I think they were specifically talking about religion. Religion! But people who are atheists or non-believers when they hear religion they think oh church people but you know...I go to a church but it is not a religion Organized religion if anything is a problem In my opinion

2:50:53 And it's not been good for the Pope. The choice was whether to stop treatment and let him pass or try more aggressive drugs and therapies that come with a very high risk of damaging other organs. Man, we didn't hear that report that he almost died! It was all like oh he's gonna be okay just inhaled some puke it's okay it's alright where he's hanging in there He almost died they almost pulled him off the system The Pope was aware that there was a chance that he might not survive the night

2:51:41 According to the doctor who was then instructed to try everything and not give up. Back here at home, Dr David Manov at Temple University Hospital's Jeans Campus says this type of scenario is not uncommon. Once you are really really sick and in ICU sometimes some of the things that we really have to do or prioritize what the most life-threatening organ failure is going to be at that time, even if some of the things that we do potentially come at the potential for injury to other organ systems. So Dr Manoff says the Pope has a long road to recovery. Pope Francis was discharged on Sunday after 38 days in the hospital man. That was pretty serious gives me more time to think about the next pope

2:52:26 Yeah, this is a good break for you. I'm narrowing it down as three candidates, three candidates. I'm getting close to that. I'm not even going to ask you to tease it. No! International news just a little bit? International news everybody wait a minute... I'm guessing maybe it's the BBC World Service Yes This is good stuff now all hell breaking loose and we're not being told about It's amazing actually. Let's start with South Sudan. The UN mission in South Sudan has warned that the arrest of first vice president Riek Machar has brought the country to the brink of another civil war. The renewed political violence began last month. Paddy McGuire reports

2:53:07 The arrest of President Salva Kiir's long-term rival at his residence in Juba is a dramatic escalation. In a statement, the head of UNMISS said rising tensions between factions loyal to Mr Machar – a former rebel leader and the forces of Mr Kiir were jeopardising the 2018 peace agreement Nearly 400,000 people died in five years of devastating civil war before the power-sharing deal was signed. As that deal unravels and the violence escalates some 50,000 South Sudanese citizens have already been displaced." Oh will they be passionate at the universities about this? No, no nobody cares about this stuff so here we go to the other one is Pakistan oh I also have an Africa clip actually

2:53:53 Pakistan. Okay. Senior police in Balochistan say at least six people were killed on Wednesday in a spate of coordinated attacks in Pakistan's restless southwestern province according to the French news agency police accused gunmen of targeting bus passengers on the basis of their ethnicity A member of the security forces was among those killed. Local press reported explosions and trucks being set on fire in various parts of the province. Separatist insurgents have stepped up their activity against Pakistani security forces in recent weeks." Yeah, no one cares about that except us! And the Sudanese is even funnier about people not caring 400 000 people killed? No who cares?!

2:54:41 Who cares? Interesting. Do we have the same clip here because I have one Africa clip, cause you know manga make Africa news great again. This USAID Uganda BBC Well, let's try it. As a federal judge in the US blocks the Trump administration from taking further steps to shut down the U.S Agency for International Development we'll be asking what that means in practice for people on the ground running health programs in Uganda? Ah! Well I happen to have an answer Well there you go. Yes and this answer in the Africa News segment from the NOAA Gender World Service, we should do our own thing... Now from the NOAA Gender World Service we go to Africa! And what did we learn in Africa? This is from the former

2:55:29 African Union ambassador to the United States her name is Arekana Chihomboree Kwao. We need to understand that the real reason why USAID is in Africa and not just USAID but other NGOs you look at DFID which is a British equivalent and many of the smaller ones their sole purpose was to act as if They are coming to rescue Africa. They are coming in claiming that they're introducing grassroots initiatives that are going to help the people and so they use that as a way to go into the most remote parts of Africa when you look at it on paper, it all looks really good but they actually

2:56:09 wolf in sheep's clothing. They are using that open access, sounding humanitarian to constantly destabilize governments I can tell you right now the majority of African leaders and not just African leaders but leaders in the developing world are celebrating the exit of USAID if you think about it their sole purpose for example filling in the gaps in health care education where is the change? Show me one country that USAID was in and education improved show me what country where USAID was in and healthcare improved. The social services they're bringing, it's peanuts! The American taxpayer needs to know the billions of dollars that are being given to USAID a fraction is making it to the people." Oh there you go straight from the horse's mouth but not like we didn't know that No we knew it we had a note from one of our producers I wish I could find it because I was gonna

2:57:02 Oh, yeah. I remember the... We actually got a couple of good notes. He got some good notes there The guy says he was in Africa and the USAID guys came in with a bunch of stuff Mosquito nets. Mosquito nets And they took a bunch of pictures of them with them You know here's the pictures of us with their guys and then they left and left him high-and-dry saying it was only there for a photo op Yeah Do your AI clips, because then we can wrap today's show with that. These clips I don't know if this is going to work with what you have to talk about but... Oh maybe This is about AI in libraries and the benefit that it could provide and I think this is accurate stuff And this is mostly Bruce, the first clip was Brewster Cayley who was at the head of

2:57:51 the archive.org hey is it Kaylee kale I know the guy but he won't he won't take your call anymore no typical podcast your podcast went from important writer to podcaster that's the end of that if you were an important writer award-winning was important in sword winning yeah of course she did Yeah, it's a bestseller. Yes, Insta. Here we go. So not only just search engines for going and helping people find it, and then using digital interlibrary loan which is fantastic. And it's going on now but we now have these technologies the AI technologies that allows these to be put in new and different ways to go and correlate information across texts that have spanned over centuries and to be able to try to make that more digestible more learnable

2:58:58 more browsable, more interactible than ever before. The opportunity of our digital libraries coming and being useful to people because of these new technologies is just fantastic." Was that Brewster? I think so. Oh, so he goes on and on with part two. There's a three-parter there not much I can say And are you talking about your own AI engine or using somebody else's Well, lots of people are downloading... Hold on. What it sounds like to me is he pitching selling archive.org to AI companies? Is that what I'm hearing here? I didn't hear that in the clip but is quite possible and are you talking about your own AI engine or using somebody else's

2:59:43 Well, lots of people are downloading lots of things from the Internet Archive and putting them in the big commercial systems. But pretty much just the open materials because all the copyright lawsuits problems that we have in the United States. In Europe they've specifically encouraged cultural heritage institutions research organizations to work together, to use these for new and different things. So that's why I'm in Amsterdam right now working with these research organizations to make use of these materials because there is regulatory clarity in Europe towards having a blossoming of our library collections and bringing them to life." He has got an agenda here for sure!

3:00:24 Well, his agenda is he's getting sued left and right by these... Yeah. And I can't say it's... Whenever... Here's a little trick! It's the tip of the day. I have a browser plugin called ArchivePage and I have it on my Bravo Browser And so whenever I hit a Wall Street, whenever I hear it. Whenever I hit a Wall Street Journal article or anything like that, I hit my archive page browser plug in and it will immediately find that page which has then been archived by someone who apparently paid for it or archived before was behind whatever paywall and boom you got the whole page right there. You can read it no problem. That is a good tip

3:01:18 Somebody else sent a similar tip that I'm not gonna use today, but maybe we should gang him up and do the two tips in an upcoming show. Let's wrap it with the third of these clips. I want to look at another aspect of this, which is that we shouldn't forget that libraries preserve and make available many things other than books or magazines for example at the US Library of Congress less than a quarter of the objects held are books so what about web pages for instance Bruce they do tend to appear and disappear with alarming speed don't they? The average life of a web page is about 100 days before it's changed or deleted. It completely changes how we go and build our collections, we have to do it preemptively just in case that might be useful We collect over 1 billion URLs every day the number of web pages in the Wayback Machine is now 900 billion! The scale of it is a little hard to understand but its

3:02:17 just trying to record what's going on out there, just so that we can basically have our own history. Just requires a different view of how we see our old-fashioned trade of archivists and librarians." Huh! Well I certainly think he has an awesome index He has a very crappy way to search. I mean, unless you have... Oh it's just out of... the search is no good It's no good but this is In fact if you could really search that thing there's a lot of value in that. In fact they also have the thing about that collection as he has a collection of 78s Yes we've talked about this This is unbelievable and not only that but he has a bunch of these nut balls out there who have fixed a lot of these I mean using modern

3:03:07 Technology. Software. Fixed a lot of the 78s so there's no pops or crackles and the fidelity is better. It's a lot of work to do any of those, let alone a lot of them and there are two or three guys that have been doing it just kind of consistently I guess maybe they do a few every day but you know when... The collection of 78s is unbelievable! Do you remember when the MTV News webpage just went off the air? Yeah, I downloaded the entire archive of the MTV News website from archive.org There's a couple really good scripts out there because it is basically an open source resource It would be fantastic for Anthropic or someone to really put a good search engine on top of that In fact this is the trend as Google is about

3:04:01 This very thing. Google has introduced a new feature and this of course is AI, a story about AI read by AI called AI mode which is an advanced chat bot designed to answer search queries this update is seen as Google's direct response to competitors like ChatGPT which have been gaining popularity when users ask a question in AI mode google's Gemini 2.0 AI model generates a detailed answer This AI system allows users to ask follow-up questions or request additional links for more information. Google explains that AI mode is designed to simplify complex topics by organizing data and presenting it in a clear and easy to understand format. The company is making major improvements to its search engine, by integrating the latest version of its artificial intelligence. This change is part of Google's effort to provide faster and more expert level answers to users

3:04:54 Competition in the AI search industry has been increasing, with smaller companies creating innovative ways to deliver search results. To stay ahead Google has decided to enhance its search engine with more powerful AI capabilities The Gemini 2.0 AI model will now be used to answer complicated questions especially those related to subjects like computer programming and mathematics And there it is. So first of all, yes I just said it's an AI voice everyone's like this voice is AI! Okay are you listening to the show? Um so I decided...I decided to uh to use multiple AIs including chat GPT and I did not get not try copilot because I had a project I had a computer

3:05:40 No, I had a computer coding project and this is what it's supposed to be good at. And so I run a little streaming radio station called Hello Fred FM and I run it on a radio program called Station Playlist and then so it streams you can schedule do clocks when you want to jingle or kind of different format of music all that stuff And I was really interested in putting this on a Unix server and using something called Liquid Soap, which is a very extensive program. It has all its complete programming language it's all open source thousands of people have worked on this there's extensive documentation all the syntax is very well documented very well known

3:06:28 And so I'm able to set up the server and get a basic system where it just plays one song after another. But then, I want to script and have transitions work a certain way. I want it be able to put in a format, how many songs separation that kind of stuff And I just can't figure it out. So, I go to the AIs and they're very friendly. Oh sure Adam! It calls me by my name. Adam, I can help you with this no problem. I spent almost all of Monday and Tuesday trying to just get this thing to do a different type of crossfade.

3:07:10 Over 300 prompts and replies, and I keep putting the error And they kept getting an error and then another error. Then all of a sudden well you have the wrong version of FFmpeg So I'm recompiling ffmpeg from source, and then it's like well you need to recompile the kernel None of these things could actually help me write a successful script. It sucks This is the whole point it's supposed to make people be able to code Mathematics code they said it right there, yeah Yeah, it was good. It does a horrible job right into it and I even said here's the document Oh yes, I'm very aware of this documentation And then you'll be like oh no that seems like we have a problem You're using a different version of what time to step down from FFmpeg 5.5.1 to 4.4.7 It sucks! It is a time waste...I could have learned the language in the amount of time I put into it What a horrible experience This isn't going nowhere

3:08:09 And welcome to the No Agenda Grievance section of the show. I'm gonna show my support by donating to NO AGENDA! Imagine all the people who could do that? Oh yeah, that'd be fab! Yeah on NO AGENDA! I missed a semicolon somewhere. Yeah, that's right And by the way this is about grievance. I have a grievance with today's donation segment It said we had a total of 30. Yes. This is crazy. This is really crazy It's the shortest list we've ever had I say for at least two years

3:08:46 And I'll read the ones from starting with entry number 10 actually and take it to entry number 30, and that would be the total for the day. Mark Lane in Houston Texas starts us off at 199, and John W Schumann in Madison Wisconsin 184 29. Sir Ever of the Watt in Linwood Michigan $130.03 Kevin McLaughlin, there he is right away at 8008.
