00:00 You are in a horrible mood today. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday April 27th 2025 this year award winning Gilmore Nation media assassination episode 1759 This is no agenda I'm coding and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in FEMA region number 6 In the morning everybody! I am Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where they want to round up the judges I'm John C. Dvorak Yeah, best funniest thing ever. Funniest thing ever! Rounding up the judges oh no it's a constitutional crisis I love it do you have any clips of that? I got plenty of clips yep well first I need to tell you um I don't know if you've been following the news but there has been quite the setback in peace negotiations

00:57 This is just breaking. You're talking about this morning? Breaking big setback and peace negotiations between myself and Andrew Horowitz He called me Saturday night, no yeah Saturday night And you hung up on him. He drunk called me from a party, he had a party with friends he's like... He has these huge parties I can see that. Hey man here is someone who wants to talk to you

01:35 And he puts me on with, you know, Granted a No Agenda producer who was like I can't believe i'm talking to you. You saved me during COVID! I'm like oh well that's very nice of you to say. I'm like so did Andrew just sit there and go like uh I can call Currie whenever I want? She said yeah pretty much That's a funny idea. Yes, I can get ahold of the big boy! I could talk to that man whenever I want. Have us remember on speed dial? You've seen him on Joe Rogan? I have got him right here let me call him for you he always takes my call. So he pulled a Biden? A Biden?!

02:13 Yes, what Hunter Biden used to do all the time. Oh, Hunter Biden! But wait a minute then I'm Joe Biden in that case? That's where I was thinking. I don't like that so much. You're Joe Biden. So looks like things are not over yet Not over nope. Nope, nope. Nope. Nope. Well at least the producer got to talk to you that yeah She was very nice but you know still I mean and I even say Andrew are you calling? Are you just a drunk? Yeah Saturday night's not the time to call. I should have recorded it That was my bad now yet exactly. Yeah. No, I should have done that well then he'd been really irked Um

02:58 You know, this is... and then we'll get to the judges. So I had this Robert Serra Pope pic in mind you know even when the Pope got sick I was already looking around and that was the first guy that came to mind so I pick him on last episode as kind of a long shot but it's like I think this is the guy And now have you seen this? He has gone viral! He has become the anti-globalist faithful's favorite new Pope. There are articles about him everywhere all of a sudden! You know, people listen to our show... At The Gateway Pundit? Maybe

03:42 But the telegraph... Well, if anyone's gonna listen to me then. Yeah but the telegraph! Cardinal Robert Sarif Guinea is exactly the kind of anti-woke Pope that many conservatives... Gross, that means the likelihood I'm getting it is less than... It's just lessened, I know In fact I have some Pope... well let's start with that stuff. I got some Pope analysis. Alright, Pope, Pope, Popenow, Popenow, Popenow alright Let's start with uh see what we've got here Hold on you're a little low on volume today I'm going to crank your voice Give me a boost me Boost, boost, boost You're boosted. Consider yourself boosted, all right? Let's start with just the plain clips which would be...

04:20 Before paying his respects at the coffin, President Trump sat down with Ukraine's president Zelensky for the first time since their rancorous confrontation in the Oval Office two months ago. Trump reportedly pressured Zelensky to accept a plan in which Ukraine will formally surrender territory occupied by Russia including the Crimean Peninsula as well as granting the United States an enormous stake in Ukraine's mineral wealth. As far as the White House is concerned, this is the only feasible deal." On the ex-social media platform, Selensky described the meeting as very symbolic and potentially historic. Thanking Trump he said that he was hoping for results on everything covered in their discussions

05:12 protecting the lives of Ukrainians, a full and unconditional ceasefire and reliable and lasting peace that would prevent another war from breaking out. But in a post on his truth social network President Trump launched a broadside against Russia's Vladimir Putin He said there was no reason to shoot missiles into civilian areas. It makes me think, he said that maybe Putin doesn't want to stop the war and is just tapping me along." When Trump emerged in St Peter's Square, he was met with silence. The contrast with Zelensky's appearance could not have been greater warm applause greeted the Ukrainian president as he took his seat. And then the grand ceremony began in earnest with the coffin carried from the basilica into the square The congregation was addressed by 91 year old Italian Cardinal Giovanni Battista Rea

06:01 In this majestic St. Peter's Square, where Pope Francis celebrated the Eucharist so many times and presided over great gatherings over the past 12 years we are gathered with sad hearts in prayer around his mortal remains." I was reminded by our resident Catholic Void Zero it is pronounced Sar-ah Not Sarah. Okay, Sarah! Sarah! Pope Sarah! Sarah! So there's one thing in that clip and everybody reporting on this said... About the applause for Zelensky and no applause for Trump? No actually that was only reported by PBS. Everybody reported on Trump's post and without question they said I think he's tapping me along

07:00 Tapping me it was that in the post tapping me home. Yeah, yes in the post everybody read it and it's in there It is in that clip did always tapping me a look what does that even mean? And Noah's question I like what is but to what phrases where's this come from Is that code for something we don't know about maybe something told you know Don't worry Putin when I use the word tapping no worry not we're not tapping out I just found it peculiar that nobody, and you included right now... Well i thought it was a British thing. Why would Trump be using a Britishism? I don't know. I don't know tapping because the what would the phrase be it would be dragging me along tapping no uh stringing stringing that's it stringing me along well chat GPT doesn't know it chat gpt says what is that a song

07:58 Tapping me along. Interesting! And everybody read it without question, yeah? Without wondering what the hell it means or why he said tapping. It's like covfefie... It's a blurt! It's a mini-blurrlt! Well, it didn't work because I'm the only one who seems to have caught it. Tapping Me Along So let's go to Papal Event 2 where they wrapped us up and this is where PBS I mean they slammed Trump in that first clip about, oh you know as long as he got applause and everyone's silent when Trump came in. You're supposed to be silent anyway! But okay, let's hear it.

08:59 Raised his voice imploring peace War he said is only the death of people and the destruction of homes hospitals and schools Then the cardinal named what some commentators interpreted as a barbed missive at President Trump on the Mexican border This is PBS Yeah, it's got this British mi6 guy that comes over once when he gives his reports. Sounds like he's doing a newsreel from World War two War always leaves the world worse than it was before It is always a painful and tragic defeat for everyone

09:42 build bridges, not walls," was an exhortation he repeated many times. In conclusion Cardinal Battista Rea appealed to Pope Francis in the afterlife. Pope Francis used to conclude his speeches and also his private meetings by saying Do not forget to pray for me. He used to say, like no gays that's what he used to say in the private meetings Now dear Pope Francis we ask you to pray for us and we ask you from heaven to bless the church bless Rome and bless the whole world After communion and invocation of saints and martyrs funeral service came to an end

10:27 Before you move on to the analysis, I have three shorties. I'd like to insert if that's okay with you. It's fine with me it's from inside edition With Deborah Norville yeah, I didn't know the Deborah Norville had moo had been downgraded to inside edition Is that a low isn't that a downgrade? She's been on inside it. She's the one who who saved the show after she got fired from The Today Show on NBC. I completely forgot about it, yes! 20 years ago... Yeah well there you go, I forgot about it Here's her report that she filed Hello everybody and thank you for joining us as we broadcast today from Vatican City The funeral of Pope Francis will be taking place right here tomorrow at St Peter Square 130 foreign delegations are confirmed to attend including 50 heads

11:19 state and 10 reigning sovereigns. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be here along with former president Joe Biden all to say their final farewells to the people's Pope, the people spoke did you know that he was the People's Pope? I think may have heard that before it doesn't sound right wasn't The People's Pope He was the woke pope He definitely was the woke Pope. I thought he was a fantastic kind of guy. He wasn't the great Pope, he was a fantastic... Fantastic kind of guy! He was a kind of a guy you know? That's how gangsters talk about each other. He is a fantastic kind of a guy. I thought it was a fantastic kind of a guy. Seating arrangements could be complicated as spoke with CBS Evening News Hold on a second You have to get, Inside Edition does have some producers that..I never heard that clip

12:34 Trump saying that's a clip you want to use. It's great! That's why I'm playing the clips. But Inside Edition has done this, they had the little girls part and I didn't know about that either. Well scripted clearly. Having a good soundbite is always a winner, especially if it's off. The three mainstream networks everything they do is almost identical. I know...I know. Let's finish this up. Continue? I'm sorry. That's okay. I thought he was fantastic kind of guy Seating arrangements could be complicated. I spoke with CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson The President of the United States and First Lady will be here. I understand also former president Biden will be attending

13:17 What challenges, if any does that propose? At ceremonies like this former presidents usually put away all of their past acrimony and so you would expect that here. One would hope that tradition would hold in the behavior of the two past presidents but tradition has been taking a bit of a pounding recently Oh! Tradition's been taking a bit of a pounding recently Really? One example, Dutchman? None. But this little ditty was also something I don't think showed up anywhere but on Inside Edition. The funeral is a security nightmare These strange looking weapons are drone busters Did you see the drone busters?! Yeah they showed... there's a lot of pictures showing it Oh they were showing it? Okay alright

13:59 They've jammed the signal to a drone. There's also an extraordinary media operation underway in preparation for Saturdays historic funeral I spoke with ABC News 2020 co-anchor Deborah Roberts This is a Pope who touched people around the globe they call him the People's Pope and this is a man who really just embraced anybody, the poor or the least among us He embraced everybody, the people spoke. He was literally pulling his hands away from people remember that? He's like don't touch me you dirty pleb! I remember these things the people's Pope. Alright, that's it! That's all I got just a little intermezzo there for you. I have list that was sent of all the bad things this guy did in terms of traditional Catholicism Like appointing fake cardinals in China for instance? Yeah well letting the Chinese government pick their cardinals Well there ya go Named pro-LGBT clergy as Cardinals

15:06 Honored Martin Luther doesn't who broke up to cat. You know, yeah basically began the whole The whole Protestantism thing in he honored him there you go Which is like what? He credit criticized large Catholic families who breed like rabbits quote-unquote. I forgot that one Stop breeding like rabbits Which is like, you know... because we have a... now we have this population decline of Western civilization. Yes! Isn't it helping? Well he was the globalist pope that's why He was the... You'll be... own nothing and you will be happy Oh wait that was the other Pope That was Schwab. Pope Schwab Approved Holy Communion for adulterers Oh no! Shocking! Shamed Catholics into taking the COVID shot That was a big one

16:01 He promoted, what's the one he's got on here? This list is a mile long. I'm gonna just find a couple of gems and there's one I'm looking for which is where he promoted depopulation of the world. Promote depopulation kind of relentlessly belittled traditional Catholics as backwards rigid self-absorbed Told an atheist journalist that sinful souls are not punished, he didn't think there was a hell. Ushered in kind of a Marxism model. Anyway it goes on I told Muslims to stay Muslim. That's a good one! Do your thing man do your thing The list is a mile long and this is like one thing after another And therefore the people spoke. The people spoke.

17:02 All right, I think we're on. Did we went to clip two? I think we got that. Let's go to the analysis Yes okay also from PBS which is always on target John Allen has covered the Vatican for 30 years He's editor of Crux an online site that covers the Vatican and the Catholic Church Crux is that the name of this? Crux Yeah John practically all the Cardinals who are eligible to vote That means the cardinals who are under the age of 80 were at today's funeral They'll be in Rome leading up to the conclave In those days, are they gonna be talking to each other either formally or informally about who they might see as the next Pope?

17:38 Oh, absolutely they'll be talking to one another about who they see as the next pope. That is after all the business they have been called to Rome to perform and so in these daily meetings of cardinals for their meeting every morning called the general congregation meeting some of that is procedural but some of it allows Cardinal's the opportunity to talk to one another about what they see is the issues facing the church to sort through where the church stands and where these cardinals believe it needs to go Specifically at this time right now, what are some of the considerations the Cardinals will be thinking about? I think fundamentally the issue that's facing every conclave is do you want to keep going in terms of the papacy that just ended or do you want to try something else. But beyond that there is a complicated sort of bushel basket full of issues they'll be looking at from... Bushel basket full?! That's an odd way of putting it

18:37 A bushel basket full. Sort of a bushel basket full of issues they'll be looking at from geopolitics, where we're entering an era where old alliances seem to be falling apart and new ones are coming into view, and they want somebody who can steer the church safely through those storms, to internal church debates over contentious matters such as when women and outreach to the LGBTQ plus community, to more broad social concerns such as migration and climate change. All papal things. Climate change. Yeah yeah PBS. That's another offensive thing. The Papal broadcast system so

19:24 Now, there's a kind of kicker in the second part I thought was...I thought this second clip is quite entertaining. With talks about peace in Ukraine dominating the diplomatic agenda No you're not playing anal too Oh I'm sorry You're right The viewership of the movie Conclave spiked after the news of Pope Francis death A lot people think because they've seen the movie they know what a conclave is You've written a book about conclaves How close it to what actually happens? I've been telling people that taking the movie Conclave as a guide to a real papal election is like taking that zany 80s Mel Brooks comedy Spaceballs as a guide to real space travel. This is old world politics!

20:07 where everything is far more genteel and indirect and subtle. Now, don't get me wrong—and let's not be naive—there is real political sausage being ground during this period but this isn't the Iowa caucus. This is politics Vatican style." How do they know that more people are watching that? No one divulges any numbers. I don't know...I just thought the Spaceballs comment was funny. It's lame! Oh please it was a good comment about the movie Of course I didn't see the movie, so you have no idea. The guy at the end of the movie, the Pope they picked as a hermaphrodite? Well not entirely but yeah close enough. You saw it? Yes we discussed it! yes I saw the movie. Not a hermaphrodite... No not a hermaphrodite but had

21:05 had some kind of appendix, appendicitis and the doctors went in and found that the then ultimately chosen Pope had ovaries. So the pope had ovaries out a dick? That is the implication But that's a hermaphrodite I thought the hermaphrodite means you have both sex organs as well It wasn't clear from the movie And that was quite frankly a disappointment Yes. It seems like a long way, the movie sounds like a shaggy dog story No it's like they literally inserted that nonsense at the end for no good reason it was almost like Madame Butterfly Oh! It's a girl or boy whatever it was Boy, it wasn't a girl its a boy yeah I was just like ehhh... It was completely unnecessary for the rest of the movie

22:06 Really? So they didn't need a punchline at all. I don't think they needed a punch line, certainly not that one made no sense Well i like the spaceballs analysis there's a third clip here which is misspelled paper I got two Ps on it Do cardinals go into the conclave with a candidate in mind or a group of candidates, likely candidates in mind? Often cardinals do file into the Sistine Chapel with a fairly strong sense for whom they intend to cast their vote. I mean bear in mind that last two conclaves—that is the Conclave of 2005 that elected Pope Benedict XVI and the Conclave of 2013 that elected Pope Francis

22:48 Both of those were over in about a day and a half. Now, that would be completely impossible if it weren't for the fact that a number of cardinals had made up their minds before they actually went into the Sistine Chapel about which way they wanted to go. I know you said this isn't the Iowa caucuses but is it possible to handicap the potential popes? The likely people who could be pope Well you know there's an old roman saying that he who enters a conclave as a pope exits as a cardinal meaning sometimes getting that kind of talk does you more harm than good but, i said we can look at the reputations cardinals have held over the years the significance of positions that is jobs.

23:32 that they have held won odds on favorite and somebody who certainly will get a very serious look would be Italian Cardinal Pietro Paterlain, who was the Secretary of State. That is the top aide and the top diplomat under Pope Francis, who would be seen as somebody who in some ways carry forward the Francis legacy but is an extraordinarily stable careful measured man and given what's happening in the world, that's a prescription. I think number of hurdles might find a track it." Yeah they're supposed to listen to the Holy Spirit they're not supposed to be politicking! Well the funny thing is the irony of that guys last comments was that if you enter as the Pope which he now just named somebody who entered as the Pope

24:21 Pietro guy who I thought would be the guy that's your guy Would not make it and so the same would hold true for this raw guy that you picked because he's getting a lot of ink For a whole bunch of reasons they got a lot of emails about my Pope big but Everyone is if it would be very happy which you know makes me wonder. Oh But that's my pick, I'm standing by it. That's what i gotta do Yeah, I think it's...I think your pick is a great pick to be honest about it and he's old. He's not gonna be there forever so you got oh we get the black guy in? He won't be here for long! They won't even let Cardinals under 80 vote for the Pope and this guy's 80 No no up to 80 as far as far as yeah You can't-not over 80s. I don't think you can vote if you're if you're 80 or older That's what I meant when you're 80 and older you can't vote for the Pope So how could you be the Pope

25:24 It makes no sense. So... And I've heard this guy talk, admittedly only in French Oh man he's another one of these... How about a Pope with the clear voice? I think that Saraguy is a... or Seurat I think he speaks about four languages Yes, he speaks Italian, French English, French, Italian and Papal Latin? I don't know Three or four Fluently. We'll see all eyes on the Vatican now Now we go into the the big smoke thing and I'm waiting for the smoke just smoked a smoke Yeah, it's good branding though when you think about it those guys they know how to brand themselves You know you burning up the lots and then mixing it with the chemical to be black or white smoking That that's that's pretty awesome

26:24 Yeah, I had a meme about it in the newsletter. You probably missed it. I did! I'm sorry...I was out and didn't have a chance to... Now did you send another newsletter? Did you send a follow-up? Yeah, I sent a second note because we only had...because things had fallen off the cliff and so I had sent out the emergency plane text Did stuff get trapped in the spans again? I don't think it might have been a little bit, but I don't think that was the cause. I think it was just a lull. April... It's always April. There were couple of interesting Terms in this ABC report is from your girl Martha Raddatz or what do we call now? Radznik radnits, Martha Radnitz This is the continuation because oh lord We need to continue with signal gate but listen to these terms bring it the latest now on The controversy surrounding defense secretary Pete Heg set new security questions raised from his use of a commercial messaging app for sensitive commercial messaging app

27:28 Signal is a non-profit first of all. It comes back a couple times, the commercial... I've heard this too, they use that term specifically. What they're trying to imply is that this is some off the shelf thing Yeah, bonehead product that anyone can pick up and as opposed to a secretive government system that can only be used by you know spies and spooks. By Rocky and Bullwinkle yeah Security questions raised from his use of a commercial messaging app for sensitive national security communication Chief Global Affairs anchor Martha Rett is tracking that story good morning Martha Hello Good morning George this morning more alarming news out of the Pentagon sources tell ABC

28:09 that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth accused the then-acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Admiral Chris Grady, of leaking information to the press. The sources say Hegseth was shouting at Admiral Grady after a story appeared about Elon Musk's possible top secret briefing by the Joint Chiefs on China. The Wall Street Journal first to report that Hegseth demanded proof from Admiral Grady that he didn't leak the story, yelling I'll hook you up to a expletive polygraph. And this morning Hegseth's press spokesman denying that the defense secretary had the commercial app signal on a personal computer inside his Pentagon office sources told ABC that the computer- Hold on a second hold on a second now this was the last report we got was it was on his personal phone

29:00 Now she's saying he was running Signal, the commercial app on his computer inside the Pentagon. Yeah this has been a change in... In narrative that's a big change. The narratives have been changed there are couple of things and they also left out the fact that according to the guy who is the chief national security advisor for Trump it was spook was told by the CIA that this is the product to use. This is the one to use, yeah and so he's using it on his computer now you can use Signal on your computer

29:36 Sure, but this is like me my text message. Yeah I do everything on the computer use Google a voice so Texting because I can type away. I don't have to poke away in my thumbs and get you know You don't have to extract your phone from your drawer. Let's be honest about it. It's a phone in the drawer That's right nine that the defense secretary had the commercial app signal on a personal computer inside his Pentagon office Sources told ABC that the computer was connected to an unsecured commercial line, what is known as a dirty line since it does not have fi- They have a dirty line. Yes, this entire show operates on a dirty line. Firewall protection all... Whoa whoa whoa hold on a second let me hear that again. ... what is known as a dirty lines since it does not have firewall protection all this... Firewall protection? That's kind of skipping along

30:32 OK. aides to Hegseth. Those aides were escorted out of the building by security, George." And so now comes another piece of information it sounds like Pete Hegseth is taking a page out of the John C Dvorak handbook! Yeah real exodus there meantime The New York Times reported just moments ago that these phone numbers... Well it's not an Exodus if you're kicked out. A real exodus there they're not leaving on their own accord they are being kicked out know?

31:17 Think one of them quit. Okay, well that's not a real exodus Yeah real Exodus there meantime the New York Times reported just moments ago. I use the word Exodus yeah in Exodus is it three or four guys and exit with 245 people left walked out to same day that I would call that an Exodus yes Yeah Real Exodus their mean time the New York Times reported just moment ago that these phone numbers that Hagseth was using were actually available online Oh, oh! Like Google phone. He had a Google phone number like you John. It's just found online Yeah George you know any personal phone is vulnerable especially if you are the defense secretary foreign adversaries would like those numbers and those numbers are pretty easy to find and Hegseth had highly sensitive information on his phone in those signal chats Hold on a second So I have your phone number?

32:11 and you have highly sensitive information on your phone. What do I do? Call ya up and say, hey push that, let me walk you through some processes so you can send me all that information? What does that got to do with anything? You go his phone number of a... So what?! Well, if you're Huawei you're in the system. Yeah if your Huawei this is true You could probably there's much might be a back door into the phone that If you have the number you need that number to get them through the back door or if you or if you have The database at the NSA maintains and you need to just give them the number and they cough back every message you've ever Done or received? That's different I think what we can conclude Is that this reporting is very flimsy

32:58 They're using all kinds of adjectives to try and hype it up with commercial app and dirty phone line, found the numbers online. This is just exactly what it was always intended to be some form of railroading for the military industrial complex or the neocons, or whoever wants Hegseth out. Foreign adversaries would like those numbers and those numbers are pretty easy to find... Hey Pete can I have your digits? And Hegseth had highly sensitive information on his phone in those signal chats about the attack plans in Yemen Highly sensitive okay well there you go Martha Raddatz on the beat everybody The world is safe ABC's got issues

33:44 Yeah, I think they're more compromised than CBS. Yeah, I was trying to clip some of the latest on the media from NPR Your buddy yeah, and it's it was very difficult because they're just talking about how Brendan Carr the new FCC Commissioner how he's going after them and I think is it NBC has a 20 billion dollar lawsuit against it and or CBC CBS from Trump 20 billion dollar lawsuit. Yeah, that's been going on and it's ongoing I know! And like we're also in an investigation this is the problem with the report We're under investigation because the FCC believes that where we don't have Underwriting we have were doing commercial messages and then they went on to have no examples or even explain what the difference is It was very disappointing. I was ready to clip a whole bunch but just didn't happen anyway so

34:42 Well, yeah. The heck Seth is under fire and I don't think he's handling it well. No He should be more glib and less angry Yes So We don't know exactly what was discussed we had The president meeting with Zelensky which is kind of a cool move where you had that huge room? I presume somewhere in Vatican City And they put two chairs right in the middle and there's Zelensky hanging out with Macron And you know he's doing his little tat-a-tat and then Trump comes in they sit down, and I guess... I have some analysis of this. Well i'll play the news report first President Trump meeting face to face with Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky Saturday at St Peters Basilica The two discussing a ceasefire deal Zelensky sounding confident after the meeting posting He's hoping for results and ultimately a full and unconditional ceasefire

35:37 there The growing frustration from the president comes after his special envoy Steve Whitkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin met face to face for the second time Friday. The meeting lasting three hours, and being called constructive in a step in the right direction but so far neither side has agreed to a ceasefire and President Trump saying this Friday about a deadline

36:13 I have my own deadline and we want it to be fast, and the Prime Minister is helping us. He wants it to be fast too so we have a deadline And after that we're gonna have a very much different attitude Yeah he has his own deadline! He's got his own deadline She dropped the tapping along also with that comment This is actually... what do you call when something does not show up in Google? We had our word for that back in the day What's that word...? Google wash was no, no not google. Wash know if it doesn't show up in Google then it has a term that that doesn't happen very often But this tapping along is one of those phrases it does at Google nothing No search engine knows about it That's wow that's interesting hmm all right your NPR analysis well let's start with the first of all the tapping along here with the

37:12 the Trump-Vatican-Zelensky NPR clip, which is kind of what you played but this is their version. President Trump is back in the US after his very brief trip to Vatican City to attend Pope Francis' funeral. As NPR's Deepa Shivaram reports, while there he met with Ukraine's Zelensky The meeting between Trump and Zelensky took place in St Peter's Basilica shortly before the funeral program began The White House hasn't released any detail of the conversation between the two leaders But Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social and said he thinks Russian leader Vladimir Putin might be quote tapping me along and doesn't want to end the war. He was critical of Russia's attacks on civilian areas and floated the idea of sanctions against Russia, but provided no further detail. Trump is spending the rest of the weekend at his golf club in Bedminster New Jersey. Deepa Shivaram NPR News.

38:09 So that's pretty straightforward. The tapping along comes up again and it's straight forward, they don't talk about big applause for Zelensky and booed Trump. And so now we go to an analysis and they bring in this guy McFaul. If you see this guy he's got his dour quality to him. He used to be ambassador I think is a spook. A Trump hater to the core And so he's gonna be biased and he's gonna see nothing good going on. But everything that Trump did that he thought was positive, he does say but it's all you know kind of neoliberal crap but here we go. President Trump met with Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelensky at the Vatican this morning a photo shows the two leaders sitting face to face huddled together in seemingly deep conversation on the sidelines of Pope Francis' funeral

39:01 The White House says the two had, quote a very productive discussion and on social media earlier today President Trump criticized his Russian counterpart writing quote there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war. He's just tapping me along This all comes a day after US envoy Steve Whitkoff met with President Putin in Moscow To discuss a possible end to the war in Ukraine Here to talk about what all of this high-level diplomacy means is Michael McFaul. He served as the former U.S. ambassador to Russia during the Obama administration and is currently the director of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies at Stanford University, welcome!

39:42 Thanks for having me. Let's start with this meeting, what do you make of the meeting? What do you make of the fact that afterward Trump posted on social media criticizing Vladimir Putin not Volodymyr Zelenskyy Well I'm glad they had a meeting anytime they can meet especially one-on-one without cameras without staff That's always a good thing Without cameras Because then President Zelenskyy gets to explain his position directly to President Trump The reaction from President Zelensky on social media was very positive and other staff people have said positive things. And as you just noted, President Trump also did criticize Putin. He suggested that maybe he's not serious about peace and that there should be sanctions and that's in my view a correct assessment of where Putin has been so far. That would be a correct prescription to try to put pressure on Russia something president Trump and his team have never done. Yeah even Bolton came out and went oh this is good! This is good

40:42 Whenever these guys are all on the same side, they're all Putin haters Trump haters and so when Trump looks like he's Standing up to putin this is great. Yeah And if you got closer and started threatening a war it'd be even greater and if we bombed Iran that would be fabulous These guys would be all over themselves. Oh, yeah nice All right, onward. Sorry but I'd also point out that President Trump sounds always tough on social media and says a lot of things rhetorically and very rarely follows up with concrete actions when we're talking about pressure on Putin pressure on Russia. Trump said yesterday he thinks Ukraine and Russia are close

41:23 how do you read that what do you think is happening in the coming weeks to you think this war could end i'm not sure and worried that uh... putin's up serious about ending this war i think we can fix times on his side trump and his team will eventually get frustrated walk away they'll cut military assistance to ukraine and that's all in prudence favor for continuing the war and try to conquer the territory on the ground that he is already annexed on paper. You buy a map in Russia today and it has four of those regions of Ukraine as part of the Russian Federation. Curious what your best realistic read is right now, not what you would like to see but what you think is realistic? Well I would disconnect two different things that get conflated there's a ceasefire and then there's a permanent peace agreement end the war. And I think those are two very different things

42:15 I think most immediately getting a ceasefire and even if it has to be a minimum one, getting a ceasefire that both sides say we are not going to attack civilian targets. That would be a great achievement for the Ukrainians. Remember Putin constantly every day and just a few days ago again in their capital of Kiev is attacking civilian targets. I call that terrorism, that would be great to end and then that moment if you got to a ceasefire could create the permissive conditions for a longer negotiation than i think could go on for months if not years about some permanent peace settlement and I'm not optimistic they would ever get it

42:57 But at least the war would stop without forcing Zelensky to acknowledge annexation. And I think tragically, that's probably the best outcome. Google whack! That was the term? I don't recall that term. Yes. Google whack it's a google whack. Tapping along is not found in a google search. It is a google wack So, okay so we have all that taking place but meanwhile the president is definitely saying that it appears like there are already some terms that have been negotiated particularly when it comes to Crimea. Steve Whitkoff President Trump's special envoy met with Russian President Vladimir Putin Friday for a fourth time to discuss a peace deal with Ukraine

43:48 and Ukraine. I think they're coming along, we hope. Very fragile." The president said he's not placing a deadline on the talks but wants to get something done as quickly as possible. We're going try and get out of war so that we can save 5,000 people a week. And I think...I think we are pretty close. Russia's foreign minister Sergei Lavrov told CBS News Face the Nation moderator Margaret Brennan he agreed with Trumps assessment that talks are moving in the right direction but wouldn't discuss details. We are really polite people And unlike some others, we never discuss in public what is being discussed in negotiations. Otherwise negotiations are not serious. A major sticking point in negotiations is Crimea seized by Russia in 2014 In a new interview with Time magazine President Trump said Crimea will stay with Russia But Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky says he cannot accept

44:42 that because it goes against his country's constitution. Both President Zelensky and Trump will be in Rome for the Pope's funeral on Saturday, where the president says it is possible that they'll talk. Oh so now all of a sudden... Zelenskiy just keeps telling them no, keep going whatever they want just say no I can't do that. I can have elections cause its unconstitutional but I cant give up Crimea cause that goes against our Constitution! There there is no They have no intention of a truce. I don't see it

45:20 I don't see that we're getting accurate information. Well, that's what i don't see now like a good businessman running our country President trump has put a hedge in place and he sent little marco down to africa or over to Africa To take care of the deal The democratic republic of congo and rwanda have signed what they're calling a pathway to peace in a US-brokered agreement. As the Rwanda backed M23 keep up gaining ground, the Congo found it crucial to accept the offer made by the U.S.. A necessary step towards peace taken with resolve and purpose this moment carries particular weight for the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Goma, in Bukavu and beyond The declaration of principles, Rwanda says opens the door to definitive deal

46:13 Our common aim is to conclude a comprehensive peace agreement as soon as possible. But there are no shortcuts or quick fixes and we have to do the hard work to get it done right once and for all. The long simmering tensions between the two neighboring countries have led to one of the world's largest humanitarian crisis, yet the diplomatic breakthroughs that the US has facilitated is no accident. Trump administration in talks with Kinshasa to invest billions of dollars in minerals

46:51 DRC is the world's largest producer of cobalt and has vast deposits such as gold and copper. I think we're looking at some rare earth coming from the DRC You know, we can talk about rare earths coming from here and there all we want but the problem is and it's always ignored in these reports. We can't process these rare earth that's the problem it's not that China has nothing but rare Earths China has a hundred percent of the world's processing capability I thought Canada had some doesn't Canada have processes? Not that I know of all I know is that China

47:29 We dig up rare earths, we ship it to China. They process it and we get it back." Well you don't have to get mad about it! I'm mad at the fact that they keep not reporting on this. Okay... So what? We got a rare earth deal so what?! We can't do anything with it! Well what does it take to process rare Earth's? Can we start rare-earth processing? Does that take 100 years to get going? Personally I don't know but I will say what I suspect okay It's a mess Yeah, probably is. It's a dangerous thing to do it's probably toxic as hell ruins everything around it has got to be a laughable mess that the only thing I can think of otherwise we'd be doing it Send it to Canada! I don't think Canada is doing it No send... they should start! What you want me get rid of Canada? That's a great idea Canada why don't you process this We'll drop all the tariffs

48:30 But here's more evidence that I really don't believe that they want any kind of truce, and nor do we. Because our boy over there, our sales guy in the EU... We all know him! Mark Rutte! He just keeps on harping the same thing it's got to be more money more money and for a long time. The plans of the Kiev regime to create a so-called strategic bridgehead and disrupt our offensive in Donbass have failed. Russia also confirmed for the first time that North Korean soldiers have been fighting alongside Russian troops in Kursk. The Russian Defense Ministry released this video footage showing aerial shots, and soldiers running and others issuing instructions to raise a Russian flag over a village in the region

49:32 Ukrainian officials however say the fighting is still continuing. Ukraine's general staff said the statements of representatives of the high command... This is the wrong clip, how come you didn't stop me? Well, I was waiting for you to cut in with your root the voice wrong clip. I'm sorry NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte We urged all 32 member nations to devote more funds equipment and political energy to the world's largest military alliance The move comes as European countries ramp up defense spending to meet the agreed upon 2% threshold ahead of the upcoming

50:08 coming wanted to achieve by 2024. No it must be five! We have seen the last couple of days countries like Belgium and Spain and Italy saying we will reach 2% in time for the summit so that's not 2024 but close, but clearly with two percent we cannot defend NATO territory it has no considerably higher and I've said before you have to understand if there is not enough money we can't defend you we cannot defend NATO territory without the right amount of monies It has to be considerably north

50:51 North North ruta insists the increase in spending is to ensure NATO safety and not just for us He added that the Alliance must be fully competent and ready to weather any storm here comes generally against one common threat What could that come and thread me we all agree in NATO? That's Russia. It's a long-term threat to nature territory We all agree they all agree it is the long term threats to NATO territories to the whole of your Atlantic territory. The comments came during a visit to Washington, to meet with high-ranking U.S. defense officials including Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth. The NATO boss was also questioned by reporters on the ongoing peace talks to end the war in Ukraine but declined to give his opinion as not hinder the process I think this is all part of the forthcoming Mar-a-Lago Accords

51:43 If I put it all together with the trillion dollar coin, economic concessions if you buy our military gear. So no tariffs but we'll protect you as long as you spend the money. Of course dollar devaluation which i think is happening but it's going to be... The tariffs are gonna be linked to the United States protecting you And then we'll have the 100-year bonds or whatever. And it was actually, I come up with this... Didn't you have a clip on the last show from Besant at railing on IMF and World Bank about their climate change nonsense?

52:27 I'd have to look into Clipless, but I don't know specifically what clip you're talking about. Play it again! Well...I think that's what it was because I went back and listened to Bessen talking at the International Finance Conference Had two best in clips gambit. Let me see what they were the first one was about him railing on the Chinese Yeah, yeah And the other one was just a generalized not not as strong a clip well if you listen to the opening of that Speech that he did here's what he said in the final months of World War II Western leaders convened the greatest economic minds of their generation Their task to build a new financial system

53:14 At a quiet resort high up in the mountains of New Hampshire, they laid the foundation for Pax Americana. The architects of Bretton Woods recognized that a global economy required global coordination. To encourage that coordination they created the IMF and World Bank These twin institutions were born after a period of intense geopolitical and economic volatility The purpose of the IMF and the World Bank was to better align national interests with international order, thereby bringing stability to an unstable world. In short their purpose was to restore and preserve balance This remains the purpose of the Brenton Woods institutions Yet everywhere we look across the international system today We see imbalance

54:11 The good news, it doesn't have to be this way. My goal this morning is to outline a blueprint... ...to restore equilibrium for the global financial system and the institutions designed to uphold it." Sounds like a new accord to me! And what the IMF's original task as I understand it was to allow countries to devalue or revalue their currency but with everybody knowing it And so you had to go and get permission from the IMF, and that's how they provided stability. And that's how the whole foreign exchange business grew out of that, and of course eventually went completely nuts So he wants to rebalance everything...and then here is his clip on China In response to President Trumps tariff announcements more than 100 countries have approached us wanting to help rebalance global trade

55:07 These countries have responded openly and positively to the President's actions to create a more balanced international system. We are engaged in meaningful discussions, and look forward to talking with others." China in particular is in need of rebalancing. Recent data shows the Chinese economy tilting even further away from consumption toward manufacturing China's economic system, with growth driven by manufacturing exports will continue to create even more serious imbalances with its trading partners if the status quo is allowed to continue. China's current economic model is built on exporting it way out of this economic troubles It's an unsustainable model that is not only harming China but the entire world

56:01 China needs to change. The country knows it needs to change, everyone knows it needs to change and we want to help it change because we need rebalancing too. China can start by moving its economy away from export overcapacity and towards supporting its own consumers and domestic demand Such a ship would help with global rebalancing that the world desperately needs so Rebalancing rebalance. This is the most presumptuous this that last parts the part that you're talking about that I played in less show Yes This is the most I thought about this it's the most presumptuous thing who says that China doesn't all we were so

56:48 We wish we had more, our trade wasn't so unbalanced. That's bull crap! They've been saying for years that they want to own the manufacturing space for the whole world and then by some date they always have some date in the future where they expect to dominate all of it. China And what is he talking about? Well he's talking about doing the exact same thing. We want export Yeah, you can't be all the exporter we want to export and that we've been talking to the Chinese about it or have We us presidents Donald Trump said on Thursday that the US and China Have been in trade talks after Beijing denied any negotiations on tariffs during a meeting with Norway's Prime Minister at the White House Trump told reporters that his officials had a meeting with their Chinese counterpart on Thursday morning. I

57:41 Well, they had a meeting this morning so I can't tell you. It doesn't matter who they is We may reveal it later but their meetings this morning and we've been meeting with China Earlier China's foreign ministry denied Trump's assertion that the two sides were involved in active negotiations That's Chinese for fake news The Chinese comments came after Trump said Tuesday that the final tariff rate on China's exports would come down substantially from the current 145 percent. The trade war has raised fears of a global economic slowdown with the international monetary fund IMF slashing its 2025 growth forecast from 3.3% to 2.8%.

58:31 If these Mar-a-Lago Accords actually happen and they try to get everybody together, and they try to rebalance. I understand security guarantees. I understand debt restructuring. And I think actually President Trump could probably do that could convince everybody take on a hundred year bond at a much lower interest rate tariffs as leverage but dollar devaluation. So I have two questions one how do you devalue your current? How does the dollar devalue What is the key lever to doing that? Oh, and then all of a sudden you went away. I hate it with... Did that thing just do it again? Hold on John It did it again! It just decides all of a sudden I'm just gonna use a different interface These guys screw... Are you there? Yeah Okay now we're completely gone CleanFeed decided to change the interface again

59:38 This is doing this a lot to you. Yes, so anyway my question again How do you how does one devalue the dollar? How do you do that well you don't For one thing the dollar will slide up and down in its value naturally And it's not as devalued as it once was I'd say if I forgot how many years ago when the when the euro was a buck 26 I remember that because, I think it was in Europe that year. It's not like the peso where they all of a sudden make an announcement that it is worth half as much. Well, that's what I'm asking you because we're in the reserve currency We can't do that Can we do if we flood the world with stablecoin? Would that do it just by... I don't think so. I don't know why you want to do that. I'm not saying I want to do anything! Here I read all the time about dollar devaluation and how does China

1:00:37 devalue their currency. Their accused of doing it. Well, Chinese currency is not a reserve currency and they just arbitrarily move it up and down based on central planning you have to have central planning It's not possible! We can't go devalue the dollar. It's not gonna happen I'm asking for the mechanism so let's say how does China just wakes up one day and says we're worth less Yeah. That's how they do it, and they just say okay you just... Do they change the exchange rates on there? And I'm asking for the mechanics No they change rate So why couldn't we do that with a dollar You could do that with it, you could say well just get the exchange rates now this I'm not saying we should The dollar would collapse and whole world economic system would fall apart Oh who says that is not the idea

1:01:26 We don't want that. Do you have a worldwide depression and we'd be out of a job? We could talk about lousy donations! Man, you're fighting me like I'm the one saying this should happen. I'm just reading about it and trying to understand the mechanisms of it Well, I don't know what the mechanism would be Well... Could the mechanism by creating a flood of new dollars in the form of stablecoin. That would just by... Just start the printing presses up, that'll do it! It's the same thing. Well hell with the stablecoin you don't need to stable coin just crank out them... just change the money supply they Biden kind of did that and cheapened a dollar. It's more fun way doing is more fun to say stable coin

1:02:09 Yeah, you like the word stable coin. You are in a horrible mood today I don't know what did you get on out on the wrong side of the bed or what happened to you? What the hell am i doing over here on this side of the bed How does people get out of bed on the wrong side of the bed? I think that's an interesting phrase. Is this part of the Horowitz rift, are you mad being in the child in the middle? What is going on man? You're just in a bad mood and I'm trying to get a little conversation going... No, you're just saying I am in a bad mood! You're bringing up topics that I can't, you asking me questions. I can answer them just say I can't answer it and said I said that already said I don't know Instead you said you don't want to do that! Except you could do the printing press thing That will devalue this dollar But just hypothetically Just follow with me You could also Do a fake printing press With stablecoin

1:03:02 I don't know what that even means. That's the problem Well, you create more dollars only these are digital dollars just like the EU is gonna do with a digital euro Everyone's gonna be doing this this in the cards so the digital dollar is the stable coin is the same thing Yeah Yes You make us when you buy a Treasury you for every dollar of Treasury bill that you purchase you get to create a stable coin. There are hundreds of billions of stable coins already in circulation based upon this, that's what Tether does so they have already done this and that is what Lutnik was doing with Cantor Fitzgerald They're going to be the biggest provider of liquidity or I guess backing of stable coin Sounds like economic mumbo jumbo All economics is mumbo jumbo as far as I'm concerned

1:03:57 I think that's part of the plan. Just create stablecoin, that could devalue the dollar That is the same as a printing press only it's not the same as the money supply like M2 or whatever Anyway...I'm just waiting for the Mar-a-Lago Accord That's what i am waiting for You have some hang up on this Mar-a-Lago Accords Because I coined it now everybody using it! I talked about at first Okay. It's just like the Pope! Everyone is listening to our show and they're not donating. Well, that's for sure... These guys...these guys... And where are the Catholic donors? Oh, they're donating. What do you mean? Void Zero is one of our biggest value contributors. Mega-Catholic He's a meta-meta-metacatholic Metta. Metta metta metta. Uh okay well let me see if I can change your mood with this Sportsball little sports ball? And...? You were in the news

1:05:02 You didn't, you don't tell me you're not watching the playoffs. Yeah what playoffs? Basketball? The hockey league man! I haven't been following the hockey game. The Capitals versus the Canadians? Come on, man! Yeah there's a guy named Dvorak on the Capitals. From a capacity crowd first time they've had a fully attended playoff game here since 2017 Young upstart Montreal Canadiens team Last team in the postseason as they score! Dvorak! Christian Dvorak finds a way! Dvorak restores the Canadians lead

1:05:41 Dvorak finds a way! Come on, tell me you know this guy. Do you see him at the big... The big Dvorak conference? No, I didn't see him at the DeVore conference but every time I hear about the Capitals I keep thinking well I should get a hold of... you know I know the owner of the team. Really? Wait isn't that the guy from AOL Ted? Ted Leonsis? Yeah! I know Ted. Everyone knows Ted Well, you know Ted was on our board at Pod Show for like five minutes That sounds like Ted. He was on the board, showed up to one meeting and went nah screw these guys I'm off got no time to be on the board yeah Ted Leonsis funny guy very funny he is a funny guy I guess you get ahold of him Yeah Ask if we can get him on our board What i want to do is get an autograph from the guy where the players is not Dvorak but this Ovechkin guy that's there's a player

1:06:45 Well that didn't cheer me up. Well I'm sorry, okay well let me see if this cheers you up. Tonight one of Jeffrey Epstein's most vocal accusers has died. Virginia Dufresne... Oh there is a cheery story! Here with her family help to expose Epstein's evil CBS' Ali Bauman joins us with more tonight Ali? Good evening Good evening, David. Virginia Giuffre's family calls her a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and other survivors have credited her with giving them the courage to speak out She died Friday at her farm in Australia Virginia Giuffre was the first accuser of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein

1:07:23 wave her anonymity and go public. In a statement, her family says the 41-year old was the light that lifted so many survivors in the end, the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for Virginia to handle its weight Jouffre said in 2019 Epstein's sex trafficking ring passed her around like a platter of fruit to the rich and powerful, including Britain's Prince Andrew when she was 17. The Duke of York denies the allegations and questioned the authenticity of this infamous photo of him with his arm around Jouffre waist. They settled out of court for an undisclosed amount in 2022

1:08:01 We need to show the world that the rich and the mighty can fall too. Jufre spoke with Gayle King in 2020 about her fight for justice, and Epstein's death by suicide in a New York jail It would have been great to look at him in court and say you know You hurt me, you took away my innocence, you took away my youth But he took that away from us too. So they didn't really kind of buried the lead if not explained at all because the real story is I have two parts here is that she committed suicide. The woman who was one of the most prominent accusers of wealthy sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has died Virginia Jufre was

1:08:42 41 years old. Her family says she died by suicide." So this is, this is a very strange story because I have a clip that I clipped, I think three weeks ago with just within a lot of clips we don't get to in the show and it was an oddball story about her. So this is three weeks ago where she went on Instagram's like, Oh, I've been hit by a bus A couple of things before you play that. There's a very interesting, for people who like this sort of thing, conspiracy videos floating around saying that she was murdered and it's kind of fascinating because they say the bus accident which they've shown didn't account for her actual bruising but she is being beaten

1:09:36 by some lover of hers that was a sadist I guess and beating the crap out of her constantly so the pictures you saw were all beat up, it had nothing to do with the bus wreck. Then he hung her Ooh, I didn't hear that part. Well here's the report that I clipped three weeks ago. Police in Australia appear to have disputed a claim made by Prince Andrews' accuser Virginia Dufresne that she was involved in a serious crash which has left her with just days to live The 41-year old who previously alleged that the Duke of York had sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager wrote on Instagram yesterday that her car had collided with a school bus. Well, Lady Pitt is here there are some conflicting details in this aren't there?

1:10:25 confusing Mary because in her post online Virginia Dufresne said that she's gone into kidney renal failure and is being transferred to a specialist urology hospital. And she posted a photo where she appears to be in a hospital bed and has quite severe bruising to her face. She goes on to say that she has four days to live after a crash with the school bus near to home in Perth, Australia. Now Western Australia police explain they know of a minor crash between the school bus and car that was reported by the bus driver the following day but there were no reported injuries to them as a result of the crash here's what the officers have said

1:11:05 I do know there was an accident on the 24th of March. It was a bus with another vehicle And was there any passengers on the bus at the time when you were? I'm not aware of passengers on the bus but certainly, the bus driver reported as he was required to do and in the right time frames. And I am advised it's about $2,000 damage in the vehicle Not aware of any injuries So there is another option which is she has gone underground because Pam Bondi is about to drop the Epstein report

1:11:42 Well, if she's already out front about all that I can't see that being part of it. I'm just saying this...I think my thesis about the sadist and is more likely Oh, it's not my thesis. No but where is the Epstein report? That would be the big question Where is the Epstein maybe she here I guess the third possibility she hung herself because she's tired of waiting Wow oh that's pretty bad Bad, bad, bad. We're never gonna see the Epstein report. I don't think so either. We have to get that out of our craw. I don't think we're going to see it. Yeah, I don't think there is a report. I think whatever it has been burned with everything else and Epstein's probably still alive There you go Yep Alright well that didn't die- I hardly call that a cheerful uh... Well I was just trying to get in a better mood. I got some stuff I know how to cheer me up Oh no, TikTok clips. Oh please Talk! Talk! Tick Tock!

1:12:50 All right. I have two TikToks, I have two. Okay And the first one is this guy it looks exactly like Governor Newsom only he's got gray hair and he sounds like Newsom and I posted reposted this on Twitter in actually tagged Newsome because Oh! I'm gonna tag him that'll show him. I'm tagging Newsome that'll show them look at me my I'm the real Dvorak Well, he does follow me so it's has some meaning. You've got great followers name-dropping and so but this guy looks it looks exactly like him in a little more manic But I just got the biggest kick at it but this is typical of these guys and he's wearing a suit and tie and he's

1:13:35 Look, just a screwball clip. Donald Trump is now arresting a federal judge who disagrees with his immigration policy not only is this illegal but it's happening at the same time that Donald Trump is defying a nine to zero court order The law, it is at the same time that he's disappearing people without due process. A violation of the Constitution, a violation of the law make no mistake Donald Trump is breaking the law At the same time that he's breaking the law further by arresting federal judges. This is in plea and utter meltdown of the checks and balances to protect us from being an authoritarian regime now is a time America, To be honest, Of course The Time was a month ago two months ago three months ago last November but now

1:14:26 Now, if you are not feeling with fervor the desire to defend your country. To defend the promise of what you can be then you are no longer part of this American experiment! Call your senators call your reps knock on their doors at their offices and only one word should be on our lips impeach! Oh man That's pretty typical Yeah, that's a typical for Saturday afternoon in your office. It's just like wow now the other One I have which i think is quite funny and I don't know you know In between if I'm being logical about this This was at an AOC town hall what trolls on tik-tok? What?

1:15:20 This is at an AOC town hall, it's a question and answer. And this woman comes up and she goes on about her thesis about overpopulation and what we should be doing about it to save the planet for climate change There's a note of sincerity in her voice. She has me convinced she is a good actress, but it's total troll. It has to be. But Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez doesn't call her out as such and she just kind of goes along with it which is pathetic I might add

1:15:56 here it is. I'm not going to be here for much longer because of the climate crisis we only have a few months left! Troll, right there troll You support the green deal but getting rid of fossil fuel is not gonna solve the problem fast enough A Swedish professor saying that we can eat dead people but thats not fast enough so I think your next campaign slogan has to be this We got to start eating babies We don't have enough time. There's too much CO2! Really? Now you were questioning if this was true? All of you, your pollutants! Too much CO2! We have to start now please You are so great I'm so happy that you're really

1:16:42 supporting nuclear deal but is this the real Alex Stein dressed up with a voice changer? No it's just some random Swedish woman. Not enough you know even if we would bomb Russia we still have too many people, too much pollution so we have to get rid of the babies. That's a big problem to stopping having babies inside and out, we need to eat the babies and this is very serious please give us response. Thank you thank you. We'll go ahead okay no well go ahead it's so no no yeah no thank you so I think um yeah no so one of the things

1:17:28 that's very important to us is that we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency Luckily we have more than a few months. We do need to hit net zero in several years But I think we all need to To understand that there are a lot of solutions that we have And that we can pursue and that if we act in a positive way, there's space for hope There's we are never beyond hope now hold on a second. All right So I went searching for a clip

1:18:04 Because I know that we had eating the baby so at some point in the history of the show 2019 is this the same? It is That's an old clip. It's not from C-SPAN Climate crisis, that's from 2019 Well you think my memory be a little better than I can remember that clip was it mine And it was taken from C-SPAN by the way, it wasn't really a TikTok clip. I just call everything talk because it's easier to categorize. Yeah! One of your clips? I'm not calling out for that reason. I'm surprised. Well, I don't remember us playing it. I remembered okay Although I have to say we if that clip existed and I submitted it was definitely played Nobody wants to know I'm sure I'm sure it was played That's why I remember like wait. I remember eating but I didn't realize it was the exact same clip It's in fact is the same length buck 50 interesting

1:19:06 Well, this is why the internet sucks. This is what bothers me by the way, this recycling of clips. Oh I see it so often! It's just all over... In fact there was a couple of clip that I saw that I lost track of and then they you know like from about a year ago and boop there they are again coming back around So basically it wasn't AOC getting trolled You got trolled with another clip with an old clip I got trolled with an old clip but it's a great clip. No, it's a great clip! It's a great clip but this is... I should have just put classic on there. I wonder if we're doing a disservice because, you know the show started off in 2008. Well before 2008 but 2008 Ron Paul was running he had End The Fed he had his book out and everybody was talking about You know the Federal Reserve is as federalist Federal Express And everyone kind of understood that this was not a government agency and now that Ian Carroll dude

1:20:08 He's made a whole video like, did you know that the Federal Reserve is as governmental as Federal Express? And people are sending it to me like this is a good background or you need to watch this. You need to know that the Federal Reserve is not part of the government and I'm thinking to myself do we need to re-explain these things? Is that where we're at now? There's a number of people out there that have condemned... oh there was I forgot who it was somebody sent us a note going on and on about how basically taken for granted many of these issues with the audience expecting them to know stuff that's possible. It's possible, I think it's possible maybe we should just start re-airing old shows

1:20:48 I think we can get away with it. We can start with the baby clip, find that show and see what else was on there as far as gems For every time that the word Obama shows up like oh but Trump just insert that real quick and then i'll be the same show nothing's changed Eating the baby well I'm glad you remembered that So here is some delusional DC union dems This is beautiful. This is a toe tapper! You talk about tapping somebody along, this is your toe tapper They're so mad at Doge So mad at Musk that they made a song about it

1:21:26 And it's kind of a Negro spiritual when you listen to it. Which side are you on? Feel free to sing along! That's an old Union song from the 30s Oh, is that a Commie Union song? Yeah thats a classic Only you would know that! Well I do know it Is that a union song?! Yeah, which side are you on? I think it goes back into the 30s. Well i'll play this and look up the original ones. We'll fight against Joshi! We'll fight Elon Musk! No Elon's kept within our walls we will fight from dawn to dusk

1:22:13 Oh! Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Yeah, he's got this really old-fashioned... Here it is. It's the American Socialist song. Here we go. With a banjo apparently from the combined socialist states of America 1938. I'm trying to talk up the intro, it's taking a long time Come on sing Okay here comes So they're doing a socialist song yeah Wow

1:22:58 Which side are you on? He has an old socialist song from the... Wow! So a bunch of commies. Hello?! Oh man, that's crazy if anyone wants to make end of show mix I'll put the whole thing in the in the show notes. I was just like and they did a whole new lyrics too it was like oh brother give me a break so here's another interesting thing that took place So, Caroline Leavitt which I discussed in the newsletter with some interesting information because there's been some phony baloney YouTube videos about her. Oh? They're going after her personally now? They're going after her personally is that... No it was just the opposite!

1:23:44 It's like a reverse smear, is the way I described it. They're making her sound like some sort of genius and she just sued The View and she got $800 million dollars... What?! And it was all elaborate. Go check the newsletter there's link to the video And so I checked it and looked, this is... how come haven't heard of this? Because I'm watching it being hook-lined and sinkered. And after watching another video about her where she excoriated the Supreme Court under some circumstance which Which I eventually found the disclaimer for it on the YouTube video by clicking more so this is fiction. There's no fiction on the 800 million dollar lawsuit story which is very well produced and you'd be convinced... What was it for? What was the eight hundred million for? Defamation

1:24:33 Wow. Because they brought her on the show and they slammed her and made fun of her, and they found all these memos... So wait a second she won this suit? 800 million? No! This is the point. Oh okay It's it's an elaborate hoax but it's so elaborate oh wow that it's like you see this, you watch the video and you are totally convinced that this actually took place. It is very well done I mean the videos got clips from different people on Fox talking about how she how this is going down and well looks like she gets she got their apology she had an apology but she's not and they just but they clip it so beautifully as one of the great pieces a propaganda ever seen in my life So I look at it but I believed because I saw it just casually yes

1:25:15 And so I said, then I've never heard of this. $800 million is not chicken feed. That's almost a billion. Where's the news on this? There was nothing in The New York Times, nothing in The Washington Post. Oh they had you going! They had me going for a few minutes but then I ran it through AI searches. And I ran it through all of them. I ran it through Grok, spotted as a hoax. Chachibita, everybody spotted his hoax but Perplexity which is one my go-to's perplexity.ai they bought it! Wow and so I saw the thing about she won this 800 million dollar lawsuit and then I looked at that they have reference buttons you push in here see what their references are? Mmhmmm. There were two references both to the same fake YouTube video

1:26:05 That I guess they scanned and but I don't know how they managed to get it in there, but they did it what AI was wrong So I'm using this as an example of a I you know can't even do the fact-checking for you But but so this kind of things been going on. So so but anyway that's aside Carolyn Leavitt has made it so you have a couple of podcasters can now they have a podcasting seat. Oh it's the New Media I think it's the new media seat yeah the new media seat and there is a seat in front then there are some bunch of them in the back but the seat in front was now occupied for this one day by Tim Pool your buddy when you're in the New Media seat do you have to wear the dunce cap? Is that the idea, you sit there in the corner with his big pointy hat over to the side wearing his beanie oh with his beanie okay and he sits

1:26:56 there. I don't know if you saw this or not, but... No i did not! Okay, this is the clip from it. It's a... how long does this clip go for? 142. Yeah, it's about 140. It's scripted to such an embarrassing extreme that she should be ashamed of herself. This is unbelievable, they're gonna use this new media seat to slam the mainstream media with tropes! And she's gonna respond, oh you made such a good point. Yeah this is terrible! You're right! How does the phone call go? Hello Tim Poole this is the White House Press Office We are sending you a script we have decided that you are going to be in The New Media seat now since you have a beanie don't have to wear the dunce cap but we will be sending you a script and we expect you to read it Is that okay? Oh yeah I was glad

1:27:56 Aiyaiya. That is a Carolyn Leavitt line. Many of the organizations represented in this room... Yeah, right off the bat you can hear it's a script. Many of these organizations that are represented in this room have marched and locked step on false narratives such as The Very Fine People Hoax, The Covington Smear and now what's being called the Maryland Manhogs Did she have her hand up his butt? And moving his mouth I mean this is unbelievable!

1:28:33 where an MS-13 gang member adjudicated by two different judges, I believe is just simply being referred to as a Maryland man over and over again. Now in an effort from the White House to expand access to new companies you've created this new media seat so i'm wondering if you can comment on following this expansion you've had numerous outlets disparage the companies that you've had sit here as well as reporters. I'm wondering if you could comment on their unprofessional behavior, as well as elaborate if there's any plans to expand access to new... You're behaving very unprofessionally towards me. I am pool boy Sure, well certainly welcome diverse viewpoints in this room Which is one of the reasons we have you in here and there's many new faces in this room in comparison to the previous administration We want to welcome all viewpoint into this room we welcome any

1:29:22 unbiased journalist who really care about the truth in the facts and accuracy you rightfully pointed out the maryland man story which i from this podium when the atlantic publish it on that very first day i came to this podium instead this is wrong did that the press in this room have a story wrong and we have seen more and more evidence come to the table uh... that we have had all along time we were always write the president was always on the right side of this issue had to deport this illegal criminal from our community despicable to see the media continue to refer this individual as someone who is just a peaceful man living his life in Maryland. This was and always has been an illegal criminal, MS-13 gang member and designated foreign terrorist and the administration maintains our position to deport these individuals from our community so thank you for being here Tim. Thank you. It's great to see you.

1:30:12 How pathetic. And you know, if she says one more time from this podium...from this podium well I'm gonna start using that here at my podcast podium John are you what's your podium? What do you think about it from your podium? Yeah yeah Meanwhile I recorded it last night we had the White House Correspondents Dinner Also, no. I'm glad you know that they saw it mentioned and I was gonna go check it out because I do Why would you why? Just completely dropped the ball so I'm glad you picked it up Well, I just picked up a little bit of it because yeah And I what's the most fun is watching It's called the nerdball The nerdball the most fun is watching the people come in and C-SPAN

1:31:01 They, in essence just turned the camera on. They have their girl there who has a microphone and she's just grabbing people. Of course there was no comedian they fired the comedian There was no president And there were almost no celebrities Which is the whole point of fun of the White House Correspondents Dinner It was fun to watch because the comedian would roast the President and the President would sit there and take it And, you know it was that moment in time which is gone. Gone forever! Yeah and so they had the... So what do they have to do? Well then everyone else is the star. So he had all of the news anchors showing up and then I saw Dana Bash with uh what's-the-man woman what's her name um Caitlin

1:31:52 Caitlyn Collins Jenner no, okay. No, no Caitlin Collins Caitlin Collins and Colin's the lipless wonder yeah the lipless wonder and they are primping and posing for the camera and and shimmying their shoulders and laughing Yes yes I was my mouth was a gape oh I'm like, oh my gosh! They're the stars. They're the celebrities. As you all know every year we invite the president to this dinner for decades presidents on both sides of the political spectrum get gussied up and join us Have you seen this guy? The new president of the White House Correspondents Association Yeah it sounds a lot like what's his name...The black guy from Capehart

1:32:44 Well, he might be his brother but he's in a complete white suit with um... With instead of a tie. He's got like a pearl brooch and he looks- What? With the pearl broach you know like a broach Is it gay? He sounds it Hello! I want to be clear about something We don't invite presidents of the United States to this because it's for them. We don't invite them because we want to cozy up to them or curry favor. Sure sounds like K-word. You gotta look at this guy, his name is Eugene... I'm looking him now. Eugene Daniels! He looks like he walked right out... What's his name? Eugene Daniels. He looks like he walked straight out of an El Debarge video

1:33:26 I mean, it's like... It was a little obscure. Not for people who were around in the 80s. We only extend invites to the presidents who say they love journalists or who say they are defenders of the First Amendment and a free press we invite them to remind them that they should be We invite them to demonstrate that those of us who have chosen the public service of journalism aren't... The public service of journalism? It's a job. ...doing it because we love flights on Air Force One or walking into the Oval Office Yeah, you do! is to remind them why strong fourth estate is essential for democracy That's why we have podcasters A smattering of applause Here he is. Here's a picture of him in this outfit you're talking about

1:34:12 So he's wearing it, it's in variety. Of course! Hey everybody I made Variety. These people feel like they are stars and they're pontificating like this is public service Who are you sitting with? Well I'm sitting with a bunch of guys from AP and CNN there's no celebrities I got no one there so this guy's the MSNBC guy And he's obviously in the same milieu as uh, K-Part because he sounds so much like him. Oh totally! Why at the end of the day it's good for them even among the most... Huh? You know if you played this guy out of the blue and I had to guess who it was.. He would have said K-Part. He would have said K-Part no yeah. Free nations the WHCA what we do

1:35:06 is unique. It is an example of American exceptionalism, though we don't have the current president with us... This is more like an example of douchebaggery! Tonight, we wanted to hear from some of those who have been gracious enough to sit among the White House press corps. And here we go roll the tape Members of the White House Correspondents Association distinguished guests ladies and gentlemen Here I am Who was that from Saturday Night Live who did Bush? Do you think of Dana Carvey who used to do George W. HW Bush? No, this is W. Yeah well so then they played the clip of when it was cool! When he had people making fun of the president and the president making fun of himself but they jumped that shark so long ago anyway I just like... They jumped a shark with Obama

1:36:08 went after Trump. Yeah, yeah that's right and then everybody else went after Trump yeah and that was the end of it. I didn't pull that clip. Trump is funny but he can't take a joke when is just mean-spirited kind of uh...I think he's got a sense humor could take some chiding but not when its the way it was with Obama Yeah. Was Obama... I don't think I clipped that, he uh... Oh here it is The imagine if i did any of this clip Here we go Imagine If I had done any of this Let me just- I just want to be clear about there's a lot of his He does a lot of that in this clip I miss him!

1:37:11 Imagine if I had pulled Fox News' credentials from the White House press corps. You're laughing, but no this is what's happening. Imagine if I said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated That you will not be allowed into government buildings I don't think that happened, did it? Not that I know of. He had government buildings. It was a CIA skiff This is from the Midas Touch Network. I'm still a fan Come on We will punish you economically for dissenting from the Affordable Care Act What?! Oh! Is he talking—what is he talking about? I have no idea what he's talking about Or...the Iran deal The Iran deal? Huh? We will ferret out students

1:38:20 students, spooks who protest against my policies. Genius! Genius... I didn't know where this was? When did he do that? We can't believe you still pack a house?! People of the... Oh Obama wasn't that bad man it's not as bad as this was The mainstream the M5M is pretty much all they're doing now is polls. Ah! The country hates what Trump's doing 22% no one agrees No one likes it But the best this week came from the Supreme Court and this was a, this is Mahmoud versus V. Taylor This is about a Montgomery school district so Montgomery is in, is that Virginia or Montgomery? I think it's Montgomery No this is Maryland Maryland yes thank you

1:39:12 about the LGBTQ books in school. Yeah, for the fifth five kindergarteners they got to have the gay dog book and then there was all these other S&M books and leather yes so I pulled two very funny stuff well it's It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. I mean, it's just... In the defense of here is Supreme Court Justice Gorsuch First he's getting the details on these books Now this is just not the books in the library This is being taught as part of the English curriculum What age do you, in Montgomery County teach students normally about human sexuality?

1:39:57 I think that it begins in either fourth or fifth grade. A human sexuality class? Family life and human sexuality curriculum, but not entirely sure. Starts in fourth or fifth grade you think? Is there anything you can point us to on the record on that? Um...I don't think so. And second these books are being used in English classes That wow, you know what? He sounds a bit like when he said when he starts someone's gonna start this off What age do in Montgomery County teach students normally about human sexuality? Tell me about your DNA and Charlie Rose and George the same guy. What age do you In Montgomery County teach students normally about human sexuality I think that it begins in either fourth or fifth grade and

1:40:47 The human sexuality class family life and human sexuality curriculum, okay? I'm not entirely sure starts in fourth or fifth grade you think is there anything you can point us to in the record on that um. I don't think so okay and Second these books are being used in English class The division between English class and other things than a second-grade classroom doesn't really exist You're sort of in a room with the teacher and some no I appreciate that I went to second grade too yeah But it's part of the English curriculum that these books are being used in. I thought that was... Yeah, I'm not fighting the premise. It is certainly not the human sexuality class. I am just sort of fighting the premise but there is a neat distinction. And they're being used in English language instruction at age 3?

1:41:40 Some of them. So Pride Puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum, that's... Pride Puppy! Pride Puppy! ...the longer in the curriculum. That's one where they were... By the way this is unconscionable No kidding? They would introduce three years pre-kindergartner kids to pride puppy and some of these other things This has never got brought up in any of the conversations I think they've banned it term but this is It's pure grooming. Completely! It's grooming, grooming and who are these people trying to kid? Some of them... So Pride Puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum That's no longer in the curriculum That's one where they were supposed to look for leather and bondage things like that It's not bondage it's a woman and a leather sex worker

1:42:32 No? That's not correct. I thought, gosh...I read it! Gosh, I read it and saw it as bondage. I mean, I have to reevaluate my thoughts. Drag queen and drag queen. The leather that they're pointing to is a woman in a leather jacket And one of the words is drag queen on the surface. They are supposed to look for those? It is an option at the end of the book, correct. So this goes on, and by the way they brought in comparisons to religion which was very really confused the whole conversation. But so that's one... I'm glad you got these clips Yeah actually it was Rob the constitutional lawyer who sent them to me he says this is some good stuff He said this is show material! Yeah ya know? I saw almost all of his stuff because it was fascinating It's hard not to listen to it

1:43:23 And I don't know why it didn't clip it, but it's definitely important because it's insane. Well and here is the part that is even more insane... You've included these in the English language curriculum rather than human sexuality curriculum to influence students. Is that fair? That's what the district court found." So, the key word, influence... To influence students. Um, I think to the extent the district court found it was to influence, it was to influence them towards civility. Influenced them toward civility. The natural consequence of being exposed- Whatever! But to influence them. In the manner that I just mentioned yes. Okay. So, that right there is enough

1:44:09 You are not in school to influence children, are you? I mean the influence here is just another term for it. Nowadays yes! For propagandize Yeah...I mean obviously you want your teacher to be a good influence but that's a different use of the verb influence this is to propagandize children It really..this is homeschool people homeschool and responding to parents who are concerned, you agree that there was some intemperate language used? Yeah so and this is why it's Mahmoud versus Taylor. So it was the Muslims who said hey stop this nonsense! They're the ones that stood up and so I guess there was a temperative atmosphere at the school board where people may have gotten a little bit heated

1:45:00 And then this guy said something which, you know... well I didn't quite mean it. Whatever. I don't know that those were responding to parents who are concerned This was after the fact for most of these comments and this was in a very public setting which obviously got heated and some intemperate comments were used certainly. And i wanted to understand your your context that you're giving about the statement that some Muslim families it's unfortunate this issue put some muslim families on the same side of an issue as white supremacists and outright bigots I think in response to Justice Sotomayor, you're trying to give some context of that? I don't think I was speaking directly about that comment. I think that comment was given or made in June which was several months after the decision to withdraw the opt-outs was made. I do not have context for that statement now. Oh! I don't have context?! We understand the context!! You are telling these Muslim parents just like these white supremacist Nazis

1:46:00 This has to stop. I can't even believe that the judges had such decorum during this whole hearing, really? And this goes far beyond just a couple of books in the library They are influencing children Yes! Is it a synonym? Grooming Synonym Influence Let's see 38 similar words Doesn't show up but it does in my dictionary That's, this is really nuts. Yeah the whole thing was quite good and then Katanji Jackson-Browne... I missed her She kind of took the side of the school district saying well you know if you don't like it go someplace else. Well then she introduced the idea of school choice Yes

1:46:54 Of course, her final thing was homeschool. She did say that. No, that's the final answer obviously I got a note from one of our producers But we don't... it is the final answer except for the fact that were being taxed to death for the educational system and We should be able to use it. We should be able to send this kids to private public school And it should be fine so they learn how to read write and do math yeah, but no They're being taught about gay dogs. I mean, it's beyond me. Pride puppy is not a gay dog just search for the woman in leather boots on the ground peer network from mental health disorders among kids from one of our producers just pulled the kids from public school why

1:47:45 Why? Because of a cultural issue based in our rural schools that was persistently spreading amongst the children. We are privy to more knowledge because my wife worked for the school as well There was a chronically online over socialized seventh grader who determined she was a Therian You know what a Therian is? I didn't even know what a Therian is. A Therian, wow that's new one to me too! Kids who identify as an animal Oh furry Yeah well, Therian

1:48:21 Within three months, she had convinced almost 70% of the girls of this small school that they also identified as animals. I say... Yeah, the social contagion. I say convinced because she predatorily targeted the younger children to gain more self-assurance in her position. Children as young as four years old were asking their parents to buy them tails and masks to go to school in It worked its way back up the classes. The data from the school shows it was mostly all girls, from 4 to 14 and only a couple of mentally unstable boys." There's no bias here with our producer. The school refused... Well you know. Yeah! A couple of guys. Let me see if I can get in on this action. Hey! All the chicks are wearing tails. I'm in!

1:49:09 the school refused to acknowledge what was happening and do anything about it. So I agree, it's 100% the peer network social networks including YouTube and the Internet our children started coming home in using language and saying they are identifying as a cat or dog and then we have to have some long conversations about it and its dangers of what it really meant they got the idea They got the idea to understand the severity of identify and went to school to declare that they were mistaken but would love to play as a dog or cat etc. That was our compromise, it's not much one We ultimately decided to pull the kids halfway through the year to homeschool Parents who did not pull their kids are reporting their kids are more and more adamant about it defying them fighting with them trying to pursue their Therian selves Biting them! Biting their ankles

1:50:00 Other parents are starting to try and buy these children the tails and garb that they need to fully identify as said animal in defiance of these... This is a great note. ...showing that it takes one parent, one kid at school scared off a lawsuit over this woke language to really ruin the school district so I guess that they was getting...this is not okay And good for you, anonymous producer parent. Good for you! Although I wouldn't even have gone with the compromise. Forget that. Can't put up with that crap. Yeah... So this is what's happening? The internet killing everybody slowly. Oh goodness Well it doesn't have to No it- well no it doesn't have to Al Gore was on Bill Maher Friday

1:50:51 Yeah, I saw that. You know what? I wanted to get a clip from that. I did! I'm glad you did but you know... A clip I wanted to get just another one of these I didn't clip I have a million clips, but you know... You don't clip them. I got all these clips that i didn't clip because No! I got clips that I didn't clip and I got a lot of clips that I did clip You got up on the wrong side of the bed That's what happened Yeah it was But I wanted to get Steve Bannon when he was on yeah I think the week before and Bannon is the one who claims that he's the one who started the Trump 2028 idea. Oh really? Yes, he says he started it and they're looking into it and he says they think they can legally do it and then he wants to do it and he went on and on and so the whole thing is a Bannon scam clearly. And Bannon is the most arrogant character but President Trump unveiled in the Oval Office to Frau Ingraham

1:51:54 He said, come here take a look at this. Take a look at this. The hat? You're talking about the hat! Yeah Yeah, they had which I think Eric or Don Jr. Did it? I don't know who did the hat but he didn't say he but he never said he was gonna He thought it was he never actually Stated that he's gonna do it. He's around the bush course not He knows he's not gonna do it It's just bullcrap But but ban has taken a very unlike us and every other observer who thinks that Trump's a goof And he likes to do these kinds of things. Bannon's taking it very seriously Well, let me paraphrase from the text group here in Fredericksburg Texas Hill Country Look at this! The libs are losing their minds and constitutionally it can be done

1:52:46 That's what Bannon says. It is very clear that it can't be done. Well, you should tell Buzzkill Jr that because he's all... This is just another version of martial law. It's another version of the grid going down. Another version of micro dots. Okay, you didn't have to hurt me. You didn't have to pull me in I've already repented for all that. Well, I'm not condemning you! And 10 days of darkness... Forget about that one! And then when we come back after ten days of darkness everything is going to be a great reset Everything will be different and we'll all be billionaires because we bought XRP. I'm telling you the XRP thing is still in play Oh, I forgot about the XRP thing You know with the quantum off-world servers

1:53:45 Yes, there were people who are saying that you're in the you're right in the dead center of this I really think that's great. I love it And the thing is I can I can laugh with these people about it and like did you buy any more XRP? Yeah, it's going to 2000 I hear if we go at a thousand XRP that I bought at like five cents And I didn't even realize I had it until i looked at an old one. Oh, I got this and got some XLM too! They're like if it goes to 2000 I'm buying you a car because I will have two million dollars not you John. I keep telling them oh yeah what about me no you're not getting the car

1:54:32 Anyway, here is Al Gore on Bill Maher and here he is responding to the speech that he gave which we pulled apart on the last episode of The Best Podcast in the Universe. We generally have the same view of the Trump administration. Yeah. You were in the news this week for invoking Nazis Well, I didn't do what JD Vance did and call the Trump America's Hitler when he did that a few years ago He's what he actually said was I think about Trump a lot And he could be an asshole just like Nixon or we could be America's hit. Oh, it's and I remember thinking oh So the good option I like I like how Bill Maher is defending with facts is that? well

1:55:22 I think there's a big difference in comparing someone to Hitler. He, I mean we heard the clip he compared him to Hitler! But oh no and now is talking about the Frankfurt School? On the one hand which you which i don't do I think that's a big mistake and I said that in the speech that your referring too thats a unique form of evil that should not ever be compared to anything. But we are not living up to our responsibility, uh, to our Constitution if we don't remain alert to warning signs that we know from history, not only from the Third Reich but from a whole series of strongman dictators. When they start trying to tell people what to think when they start trying to expand their power so that they push the Congress around push the judiciary around and try to consolidate dictatorship

1:56:18 The first steps on that road are ones we should see as warning signs. And those warning signs are... Your own facts, your own truth. Lies! Nazi is a hard word to use with nuance so when you bring that word out I feel like they're the goat of evil and it just conflates- I agree with that but if you look at what I actually said in that speech There was a group of German philosophers that went back after the war and conducted a kind of moral autopsy. And they said, one of them said that the first step on the descent into hell in that case was

1:57:02 And I quote, the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power. They attack the distinction between true and false. And when I see and hear over and over again The assertion of complete inaccuracies that Ukraine is responsible for starting the war with Russia There's so many of them And they keep asserting these things, expecting us to believe that the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the Chinese. That windmills cause cancer, that clean as...that coal is clean and they try to assert with the force of power their own

1:57:39 Bill Maher. He may be part of the saving grace of the country I have to do a mea culpa. The one listener out there has history or has a background in science made it point that I made an error when I said, when I was talking about clean coal and glad you played that clip now it reminded me because I was going to do it and I forgot all about it of course as usual. And it was lignite is the worst coal not the best coal. The best coal is actually something called anthracite

1:58:28 Which is super clean coal and lignite is the dirty, dirty coal. But even though we can kind of burn it in these floating beds but I don't know why he said lignite? I know what it is and there was a blunder on my part. I'm surprised only got one note from one guy Well we've got a lot of notes about Coldwater Creek About the Manhattan Project waste Yes, and the notes were all over the map. Well we got ones like this... Please revisit the Coldwater Creek nuclear story from show 1758 minute marker 40 dot 02 to 46 dot 20 You and John were clearly lost! First not knowing about it! That's my favorite Not knowing about it!!

1:59:23 Second, saying repeatedly it was in Pennsylvania. And thirdly dismissing it as simply fear mongering! Easy does it people we're just here at the podcast podium you can just say hey you know you were wrong this is what's going on and there really is something happening there and a family of mine has indeed gotten sick from stuff that's probably around here But no, waste from the US nuclear bomb project was in fact buried in Missouri and is in fact still making people ill today! Also John... The most inexpensive Geiger counters under $800 will not detect alpha radiation. Oh my goodness. Maya culpa? I still hold the belief that it was a story that was brought back

2:00:22 to fearmonger against nuclear. Yeah, I think you're right. That, I believe that is correct. Well the exemplification of that idea is the... Actually we had another there's another story somebody pointed out and sent it to you and I think you may have got looked into it which is a story that had resurfaced two or three or four times over the last four or five years which is something you've spotted a lot And I'd say the baby eating thing is a good example on today show Yeah, and that was from five years ago. Yeah six so yeah recycling of memes yes it happens tropes it happened So very common and is like well as I could say we're work back there in those days Let's do it again

2:01:06 So no sooner had the president signed his AI in school executive order, then we start getting inundated with AI in the schools. I'd call this propaganda too because remember it was public-private partnerships so this is about the ABI robots, the ABI robot. The kids are sitting in the ABI lab And they all have a computer in front of them. The computer has a camera, it's scanning their eyes to see what they're looking at on the screen and the little cute little robot sits on its shelf They each have their own little robot and the robot you know his eyes blink You remember that dog? Remember the Sony dog? Aibo! Thank you, Aibo This is Abii Hmm I wonder if it's also from Japan So yeah It's kind of like that only it's more robot-esque

2:02:00 But it's not much more. It has some...it can move its arms and swivels its body, but it's doing great for the kids! Um, it's become like a little mascot Meet Abby We didn't know what Abby was It came with a promise of uplifting our test scores. The AI program is aimed at kindergarten through fifth graders and helps both students and teachers in the learning process They never complain about coming to Abbey Lab, it's like Ms Miller we're going to Abbey Lab today? It was like, yes we're going to the Abbey Lab. The robot uses the camera in the student's computer to track eye movements and their attention span and helps them stay on track. We'll actually pause the math or reading lesson call them out by name say hey you're not paying attention let's make sure we stay focused before we move on to the next problem. The program uses a student's account to track their progress by subject

2:02:53 Abby customized the lesson that they're getting. The children feel that at the end of the day, that Abby is meeting their needs. Abby is capable of adapting to students' learning styles and celebrates those who are succeeding. This new frontier may be worrisome to some parents but creators say Abby won't take the place of teachers it's an additional tool. Tools have a place right? They don't supplant they don't replace But they should have a place that helps empower teachers in a way that gives them the ability to do more in their classroom. And the school is seeing positive results, one teacher says this is accelerating the kids learning early in the school year The ones who come into lab are moving up into second grade. Abbey Lab has really helped them reaching goals that they need to reach in first grade and starting with solid foundation at second grade

2:03:48 So apparently it's working. It's one of our trolls said, is it like one of those monkeys with the symbols? Yeah that's kind of what it is a mechanical version of the monkey with the symbol so you did a ching-ching. You know I did some vibe coding over the weekend which is a vibe codings new word I learned vibe coding. Vibe coding is where you program computer code with AI. Vibe coding Because I have a project, and I'm working on this project. And it's the same thing that I talked about last time. It makes a mistake and then you know it says oh I see I made a mistake because I give it the error log. Then before you know what its like well... You have to recompile your kernel! I mean literally it takes you in circles, it goes around. Because I don't know what I am doing? I'm not a coder. And I want desperately help me make... Its not a very difficult program

2:04:46 But help me do it. And because I'm not a programmer, I expect the AI and I said, I'm not a programmer. And I brought up what JC said about this on a previous show because you made this complaint before which is that AI coding is no good if you can't code? So I want to take yes. I want take a little bit further because for Coding with AI is almost like working with a genius kindergarten who has ADHD and has a box of animal crackers. You know, can't focus it's all over them it's nuts! And then I realized we have to apply the Mann-Gellman amnesia thesis to AI

2:05:33 Remind us what that is. Mangelman is where you read something in the news, mangelman amnesia, where you read something in the newspaper about a topic you absolutely are an expert in and it's wrong ergo you can assume that every other article in the newspaper about things you don't know about is going to be wrong That's the mangelman amnesia effect Why is it called amnesia, you think? Because you forget. You're the amnesia part. Oh that... because you forget that hey they don't know what they're talking about so when it comes to aviation you know it's like well then they rarely have it right with accidents and all this I mean even with what we were talking about earlier

2:06:24 with the phone line. Well, you know it was a dirty line and it was commercial and didn't have a firewall like okay sure yeah that's what makes a line not dirty is having a firewall so thats bull crap So then we can presume everything else they say is bull crap And by the way its probably same with us too However We know alot about...we know a little about a lot Don't we know a lot about a little? Yeah we do! We know alot about a little and a little about a lot Yeah, which is better than most people that do podcasting who just shoot the shit. So when it comes to creating podcasts I would say AI gets a below passing grade It can't do podcasts! It's always the same thing... Let's take a deep dive! So if we know that it cannot properly do podcasting

2:07:22 It probably can't do great coding either. Could I, and so back to Buzzkill Jr., could I maybe use it for some things in podcasting? Yeah! You can make some ISOs for the end of the show That's about it I have some for today's show. But first, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put The Sea in his very own podcast podium say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr John C! Oh shoot... JOHN SEED FOREVER! We're talking 2473 trolls peak timage listening at troll room dot IO tuning into the live stream, which is good

2:08:16 And the trolls have been found and the trolls are now all turning into baby eaters. Yeah, it doesn't surprise me. Trolls like eating babies so you can join them at trollroom.io or if you want to you can listen live on a modern podcast app go to podcastapps.com I like Podcast Guru that's the one i've been using someone just asked me today what should I use? Well you should try them all! I would say try em'all there's a whole there's a cornucopia of podcasts apps who use they have many more features than your Apple or your Spotify or anything else you can find including the live bat signal which is for all of the no agenda live podcasts on No Agenda stream I think they pretty much all are using the live tag, it's called a live tag. The lit... Live Lit Tag is what we call it just live and you'll be notified so when Darren and Larry go live with Planet Rage which is typically I want to say that

2:09:14 I don't even know what day it is, but it's always right around the time I'm walking the dog and my phone goes like oh the boys. It was Planet Rage and I listen live while I'm walking around Also, you get chapters. You get transcripts all kinds of benefits and that's interesting Adam Where can you find all these podcasts? Is there a compendium or a list of what they are and where they are Well, I'm glad you asked John I would go to podcast apps calm That would take you to this entire list It shows it's a compendium and it shows you all of the features they support its well worth your time in trouble Wow Thanks. Thank you, podcasting 2.0 people thank you for that we are value for value which means we will not get a seat at the new media spot in the White House press chair if we don't we're not being put on the chair it's like getting to timeout congratulations you're now in the White House year and the time out spot

2:10:17 But that also means that we rely entirely on the value that you feel you get from what we do and send back to us. That's something we started in our first year, said this is never... We can never do ads Not because, you know... Yes? I didn't print this out but we did get like you know since they sent out the second note. Yeah, I get a lot of feedback. I try to answer most of it about why the donations are down and so and they all can be perked back up enough So that's not nothing to complain about but I got the one my favorite one with some one of our producers

2:10:54 It's because you're communists. He says, you're asking for money and then you're taking it from us and then you're passing it to yourselves... And he went on about it. The communist model is no good! It was described to me yesterday at lunch as God's economy I thought that was a good one. I like that too so I don't know about the communist one No, we just decided early on that... and a lot of people think well it's good you know because if you had ads you'd be deplatformed and people would pull their ad so yeah. Oh yeah this show would not be existing if we had used another model But that's not the prime reason

2:11:36 The prime reason we didn't want ads was we didn't want to have meetings with advertisers. Well that's your main reason because you always had to do that! Hi I'm the monkey boy, remember me from MTV? What a nanu nanu waka waka waka hey everybody headbangers ball yeah baby beavers and butthead Now buy some ads. Yeah, right and then you had to have the money from the ads go to this sales group anyway yeah and commissions everywhere and then it's no good yeah they have to be try you need a traffic department to deal with So instead we said, you know what? If you get any value from the show send it back to us. And that was kind of an experiment and it worked! People liked it they liked the idea of supporting us for the value they get Like even the producer from Horowitz's drunk party It was probably a Florida key party if you ask me What way does that mean? You don't know about... Wife swapping?! Yeah that's key parties yeah That's a big thing in Florida

2:12:42 Now the good days are over. No, it's... Hey! I'm telling you Remember we had a big group there in Florida and they disbanded all of a sudden? That thing was a key party gone wrong Well that's interesting. Yeah, that's a big disappointment I forgot what the name of the group is. It was good group and no one picked it up. Although we do have a meter report for Leo Bravo knocked it out of the park today he had 20 people at his Los Angeles meetup people coming down from Washington nice report No so instead we just ask you to contribute back time talent treasure

2:13:24 That's the three T's of the value for value model. It has now become a thing, people talk about oh I'm value for value. Oh really? Yeah where'd you come up with that? Well man it is from the Bitcoiners. No I don't think so but that is alright. Yes more stolen valor! Value4Value.info if you want to learn more about it. VALUE number 4 VALUE.INFO And so people can do all kinds of things. We've had people do many things throughout the ages to support this show, in fact the reason that you still get No Agenda at the top of all your Google searches is because one of our early producers was an SEO expert and he cemented us inside the algorithms. No Agenda is this show when you're looking for it also news with no agenda I think we pop up at the top of the list So that was a very valuable contribution back to the show

2:14:12 Another valuable contribution is the artwork that our artists diligently are making during the live show because they're using that modern podcast app. They get alerted, oh yeah! That's right I gotta listen to make some art and then they upload it to noagendaartgenerator.com another fine website that one of our producers Sir Paul Couture has provided and kept running for us mostly for the past 10-15 years And the artwork for episode 1758 which we titled Scream Circle It was a fine AI generated piece which just made us laugh from Francisco Scaramanga.

2:14:49 It was our black Pope done as a Muppet with the odds of him being chosen 33 to 1. And it hit home! People loved it, they were laughing their butts off and when I see on X people say the minute this popped up I had to pull over and get the podcast, I had to listen to what was going on...it's very funny It's something about the goofball smile I think that just makes it work. Yeah, the goofy smile is really good. Let's see if there are any other things that we looked at that were close seconds? Not really! No, I remember because typically... We liked a few pieces but none of them were getting to mark You liked the watermelon juice from Matthew Dropko

2:15:38 I thought you liked it. No, you liked it! You liked it...I was like eh...eh kind of simple the mustache wedding was cute but we didn't think anyone would really understand that one is pretty obscure oh the one that I liked uh you put the kibosh on right away and not without merit was the two popes doing rock paper scissors? Oh yeah The black pope and the white pope That's no good! Look at their hands, it's all AI. It's no good!" Yeah the one hand a guy's fingers were a mile long and the other fist couldn't even form a fist it was terrible. It's too bad because the concept was good but... You also liked the mustache wedding you said that in a minute ago but I'm just looking at it now No. No, I didn't fight ya on it

2:16:29 Didn't fight you. No, no the only one you really were yeah You're right that when you were really pushing was rock-paper-scissors I like the rock paper scissors But I mean but where we have veto power and that wasn't gonna argue I mean sometimes will argue over it like well I can make the case We've done deals We've done backroom deals I'll give ya two weeks of art if you give me this one just give me this one please I like it That was about it. And it's nice to see there is some real art in there, It's not all AI There are people doing stuff We appreciate you we appreciate all of our artists Especially those who are professional artists who are seeing that this can be a tool and I guess its working for them

2:17:15 I mean, just like...I remember when- I think a lot of artists like to see if they can crank something out. Yeah, i'm sure it's good to do production work once in awhile because you still it's still the concept without the concept so that you know the concept of The Two Popes was a great concept but yeah those two fingers of The White Pope that was just no good That was too much and I don't think that was intentional Go Foxx did that Anyway, thank you very much. We appreciate that now we also like to thank all of our producers who sent us some treasure $50 and above we will thank you profusely for supporting the show We got a lot of people who came in just under the wire for the Commodore promotion which ends on Wednesday Wednesday yes so I guess that's your last chance

2:18:02 And we're going to thank the executive and associate executive producers right now. That's $200 or above for the episode, You Become an Associate Executive Producer.

Jingle request they're eating the dogs plus that's true and I would like to become Commodore J the plumber no agenda is the reason why i was able to stay strong in the times of the COVID vaccinations when my employer would have liked to see me properly fill my properly filled out vaccination passport Shame on our union, by the way. But I resisted the vaccine successfully instead it was necessary for me and the other vaccine skeptics to visit one of the many Corona Testationen around the city each working day... FOR MONTHS!

2:23:26 The other vaccinated colleagues of mine were exempted by this rule and we're free to just visit work sometimes coughing and sniffing. To this day, no kidding! To this day I'm very thankful for the both of you informing all of us back in the days about the reports of all kinds of horrible side effects by this insane gene therapy for more years." And i have a bonus clip...I have a bonus clip This is from the BBC This is BBC, very famous for their snooker. Have you seen this clip of the snooker? Snooker? Snooker? The game? Snooker yeah the game that's like pool but with different... It's like pool only the balls are smaller and the rules are different So listen to the commentators from the BBC with this particular snooker play. Yeah very controlled I seem to remember reading an interview I think where Ben was talking about 62 after what he feels was

2:24:19 the Covid jab and then he immediately feeling 63 unusual that his hand was shaking a lot and uh i hadn't seen him play since then but no sign of that now that's good looks rock solid on the shot 70 yes his hands do look steady remember when we had the jab they'd say to you can you Please stick around for 5 minutes or 10 minutes, make sure you feel okay. And it was in that five or ten minutes he either fainted or collapsed It was one of the two Then he felt fine and went home and collapsed again So in the immediate aftermath of his jam He collapsed twice 75 And ever since then its been a very very gradual up-and-down return to full health I know there are certain weeks where In early days he couldn't practice more than 1 hour per day

2:25:16 Because it would be so exhausting. I think he's learned to manage that, still has periods if he is feeling tired where it comes back a little bit but by and large touch wood He IS healthy again But the normalization of this is amazing to me Worst bonus clip ever It works better with the video I guess They're eating the dogs! That's true Oh man I got the wrong thats-true again How can that be? It's true. What is this... It's true! I know, but it's-it's there's something wrong with my system. Now hold on a second what it's not showing up Standby That's true. That's true. That's true. What's this? We welcome in ISIS No that's not it

2:26:12 I remember that. That's true! There it is, mark it! Yes, it's marked, I got it. That's true. You're writing classic call a classic. It's true. True Classic. I'm gonna rename it right now okay? That's true Robert Petruska. That was Julian Tirado by the way. Classic. That was for him. Robert Petrushka goes up and he's in Stroudsburg Pennsylvania and he also went for 500 bucks would appreciate that In The Morning Donation Slump yes I bet the newsletter lately has been nothing but a piece...

Calling himself the Deadbeat Knight, it's been a long time since my last donation for the last 13 years i've run at firearms training company in Colorado that is based on the value for value model called guns for everyone Tyrants in the Colorado legislature have passed dozens of terrible gun laws since 2021, and while we can't fight them all ourselves guns for everyone is dedicating our efforts to fight a law that drastically changed the mandatory training requirements to apply for a concealed handgun permit. Tyrants are making it exceedingly difficult for students and instructors to complete

Referring to their newsletter now... He did send me a cutting board Oh how good is his cutting board huh? It's ludicrous! it weighs like 100 pounds That thing. It weighs a ton and it's got so much work on it its just ridiculous I don't know I mean it's really more of a presentation board than something-I wouldn't even cut on it I cut on mine and it didn't even hurt it at all. Well, that seems pretty hard. That's for sure. Like cherry wood... There was somebody without a last name named Hank and he's in...I forgot what part of California is in one of the areas? And he sent me a whole bunch of weird things with no note

2:46:13 A bunch of candy bars and some Kinder eggs, the real ones from Germany. You should eat them all John! Nothing suspicious about that... Well a Kinder egg is a hollow product that has a toy inside it I can't figure out how to open it. Well you bite into the egg But I... No, you can't. This is like a... this is no As a policy, I... This is hard piece of plastic Oh! The egg breaks open in this Oh okay As a policy, the egg is paper thin It breaks open and there's a thing inside Yeah And there's a trick to opening it I don't know what it is As a policy, I don't eat candy that people send me to the PO boxes Unless it comes from a company Like, you know

2:47:05 Those little Johns guys. He also sent me two Japanese 2,000 yen notes which I believe if you do the math it's 100 to 1 so it would be 40 bucks. James Green is our last associate executive producer and he's in Elfland North Carolina and says this is in honor of a dear friend Nick Dawkins who passed away recently from cancer I bitched about work and life issues, and watched a man in life's darkest days gracefully and by example spread his infectious Jesus freak passion.

As always these credits can be used anywhere that's Hollywood style. Credits are recognized and accepted including the White House Correspondents Association but you have to be wearing a brooch. Of course we'll be thanking everybody $50 and above in our second segment coming up soon Our formula is this...we go out, hit people in the mouth

2:48:49 I have a report on the re-emergence of our old buddies. Our old buddies? The white helmets! Oh, you mean the guys from Syria? Those white helmets? Yeah. The ones who faked all those pictures? Yeah. Huh...

2:49:25 Okay, they're back in action now. They're firemen But there's still the same group and where are they now? There was still so they came down from the hills and they're still in Syria of another downtown This is a white helmets report from PBS during Syria's long civil war emergency responders wearing white helmets became famous They were known for running into harm's way to rescue civilians from collapsed buildings in the aftermath of regime air strikes the White Helmets were nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize and featured in an Oscar-winning documentary. Well, now with Syria's dictator Bashar al Assad gone, the White Helmets have a new mission and a new challenge...

2:50:08 NPR's Lauren Frayer takes us to a Damascus firehouse to see them in action. Oh wow, this is all burnt! So we're rushing into this building of emergency here. Firefighters rush into a burning building in the Syrian capital. Firefighter Tarek Talib says they managed to extinguish the flames in time and no one was injured. Residents are gobsmacked They got here so quickly and they didn't ask for an abridged. Says Mohamed Bassem Said, a retiree who lived through Syria's civil war and says he never got help like this These new firefighters wear gold and navy uniforms And iconic white helmets For most of the war the white helmets operated only in rebel held areas

2:50:59 Dictator Bashar al-Assad had decked the capital with billboards vilifying them as traitors and terrorists. I never believed any of that, though, Said says, thanking the firefighters profusely. When Assad fell in December a white helmets convoy rolled south from rebel territory and into Damascus. I felt joy, grief and shock all together says Amr Zarifeh a white helmet who's from Damascus but hadn't been here since 2018 when he responded to a chemical weapons attack by Assad forces. When you do a documentary about a group which is clearly hoaxing shouldn't your award be taken back?

2:51:51 I would think so. Because the White House... That never happens? The White House Correspondents Association, they uh um I think they handed out an award or they highlighted the documentary oh no the news report about how Biden's mental health was covered up and they're giving out an award for that while they all participated in the cover-up Isn't that amazing Nothing. Well, I think some explanation will reveal it this is the clips of a reveal Oh And I think you'll hear your figure this out why this has nothing to come of it and why the white helmets are still being extolled Here we go in a Damascus fire house where the White Helmets have set up new headquarters their founder Raid Saleh is now in Syria's cabinet

2:52:47 And the volunteer force he founded 12 years ago is extending its reach for the first time to the entire country. It's the journey of the Syrian people and the Syrian revolution. Deputy leader Farouk Habib says their workload has actually quadrupled even though the war is over. Most of our country is destroyed, half of our people lost their homes and they are displaced either internally or they became refugees Okay, that wasn't the killer clip. We'll wrap it up with this one This is the killer clip! Now our main mission is to deal with the legacy of war Help find missing persons, we're dealing with mass graves, cluster munition They are also repairing roads and water pipes

2:53:39 These are people who started as shopkeepers, teachers, gas station attendants and engineers. Habib was a banker. I was regional manager at a private bank in Syria when the revolution started some people carried guns some people left and some people volunteered In the opposition held northwest the white helmets served about 5 million people Habib says they're now stretching to eventually meet the needs of more than 20 million Syrians even as their budget is cut USAID, the foreign aid agency dismantled by the Trump administration. It used to be The White Helmet's biggest funder Oh gee wouldn't you know it oh those horrible Trump people horrible

2:54:30 So we're funding the white helmets. Yeah, of course we were funding them. The American taxpayer is picking up the tab. We were funding it I have a couple Middle East clips that i'd like to play. We're running out of time for today but, I think that we are nearing a solution for Palestine as there's been some political moves... During a convention in Ramallah Mahmoud Abbas named the first ever vice president of the Palestinian Liberation Organization 64-year old Hussein Elsheikh, who has long been considered one of Abbas's closest aides. Elsheikh was born in the West Bank and spent 11 years in an Israeli prison in his youth then went on to become a veteran politician for the Fatah movement In 2022 he was named Secretary General

2:55:16 Any future president of the Palestinian people can only be a president elected by the Palestinian people through the ballot box. The Palestinian president must be elected. The Palestinian president will not be appointed, he will not come to power by force or because of some regional international interest or arrive on an Israeli tank." Abbas has not held elections since 2006 and is the President of both the PLO and the Palestinian Authority

2:56:01 His decision to promote Elsheikh as vice president is widely considered a move to assure his successor and to appease Arab and Western powers that have pushed for the organization's reform, and for them to have a central role in the post-war governance of the Gaza Strip. This guy, this Hussein Elsheikh... he's a ghost! I mean yeah, he has been around but there is nothing you can find on this guy Yeah, and he looks like... He looks like he's been in the West. You know? Just one of those guys so to me that says moves are getting made they gotta put someone in place we can't have a boss. They'll have a vote I'm sure and they'll bring him in So I find that encouraging One of my friends is in Tehran right now

2:56:49 And he's been sending me pictures. Man, the media does such a horrible job of psy-opping us about Iran... I mean it almost looks like the Iran pictures from the 70s You've got modern cars, modern buildings. Lots of women without head coverings Makeup... they look just... No! This is a lie! They've got a hockey team They've got all kinds I mean it's really It looks good If you take pictures out of Moscow they're even better Well yeah but Moscow we know But Tehran Now is still a stinking city

2:57:30 There's a lot of pollution, but it looks really modern and beautiful. Whenever we see Iran on television is bunch of towel heads walking around in dust Thanks M5M. So we're currently in negotiations with the Iranians and I found a report on Deutsche Welle about these negotiations. Iranian state TV showed its delegation in Muscat and announced the negotiations started midday. Officials from both sides are expected to hold in-depth discussions over how to limit Iran's nuclear program, in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions that US has imposed on Islamic Republic

2:58:22 For more, I'm joined by Niloufar Ghalami from DW's Persian service. Good to see you! Where do the talks stand right now? Yeah seems to take longer this time a post on X from Iran's foreign ministry spokesperson says talks continues in a serious atmosphere the seem to be talking about the details on this stage and Iran's emphasizes particularly on lifting sanctions. But also there was some reports that Iran's missile program is an obstacle to progress, Iran has previously said they won't negotiate on defense capabilities but we have to wait and see

2:59:21 So the question is, of course what do the Iranians want? Now Trump wants a deal. What does Iran want? Of course they also want an agreement because they know that the other options are not very pleasant and let's not forget that this Islamic Republic is a vulnerable position in these negotiations. The regime is facing various domestic and international crises and challenges, its proxies in the region have been severely weakened and the shadow of war hangs over Iran. In addition to that any agreement that only preserve Iran's nuclear program is a relief as there is a possibility of complete dismantling

3:00:05 And then most importantly, and the reason why I brought up my friend in Tehran is what do the Iranian people want? What about Iranians? What did they actually want for them like it might be minor economic relief for example. But the Iranian people have experienced 2015 deal at a time Iran's economic situation was not as bad as it is today but according to experts even that deal failed to improve the quality of life of Iranian people or even change it, the social situation and freedom in Iran. Instead, the government used additional resources to further strengthen its proxies in the region and suppress its citizens inside Iran. There are different views on that some are waiting for a final result somewhere in favor off an agreement and others are pessimistic

3:00:57 Like for example a large group of Iranians consider any agreement to failure and raise this question of why the Iranian people should pay the price for Islamic Republic's policies. Yeah, I think that the Iranian people... well they're more American than we realize, of course just like the Russians. Yeah well they won't be if we bomb them! No no it won't be hey i just got a new video in So that meeting between President Trump and President Volodymyr Zelensky, initially they had three chairs in the temple. And Macron thought that he was going to be sitting down with them and you can see Trump like not shaking his extended hand then touching him on the arm and then Macron leaves and they remove the third chair

3:01:48 That's interesting. Well, that's interesting! Yeah... That has not been reported? Well no only on your NOAA Jindal Show at almost the end of the show I might add We are running late but if you have something you want to sneak in there Something that you think is some shorties. I got some shorties. I got a couple of different shorties Let's do the real ID upcoming real ID fiasco Which is going to cause nothing but trouble at the airports in just over two weeks a major change Is coming for air travelers across the US Starting next month, the TSA will require adults flying domestically to present a Real ID compliant driver's license or other approved identification. Entities Christina Corona We're standing outside of a packed DMV here in the city of Omani where many people are lining up to get their real id before May 7th You may begin the process online however you will have to finish it at the DMV

3:02:42 Soon, travelers will need a REAL ID to board domestic flights. After the May 7th 2025 deadline it will also be required to enter federal facilities like military bases and courthouses Without a compliant ID, travelers risk being turned away at airport security This is part of the REAL ID Act of 2005 born out of the 9-11 Commission's push for stronger ID standards Real IDs are marked with a star or design like California's Bear Outline Other acceptable IDs include US passports, military IDs, DHS-trusted traveler cards like Global Entry and acceptable photo IDs issued by a federally recognized tribal nation Indian tribe just to name a few. To get a real ID you'll need documents proving your full legal name social security number address and legal presence one Southern California resident shared his experience navigating the process I've been here for maybe 20 minutes

3:03:40 So not too bad. Yeah, the line's moving pretty slow but yeah not too bad A lot of stuff was online like they had us upload our documents like some documents like a birth certificate or water bill to prove we live here And just like basic information, like address things like that. Just to prove you live here in California the DMV is extending hours at select offices including three in the Bay Area on Saturday May 3rd to help meet the deadline That's so American You can show us your social security card or a water bill either one is just Water bill? Did I tell you about my global entry experience coming back into the country

3:04:21 Um, not that I can think of. So you know so Tina and I because because you know it's like... You're a big fan of this but- I hate it I hate the idea that i had to do it but you know we always have to transfer either in Atlanta or Dallas or Houston and, you know, you have two hours typically to get from your international flight to your domestic flight. And, you know, we stood an hour...in line for an hour-and-a-half when we came back from Italy. And luckily our other flight was delayed but, you know, is not fun

3:04:57 And then you see all these jamokes, oh I've got global entry! Blah blah blah blah blah. Like, I want to be that guy so and you get TSA pre-check with it as well So i'm completely in the system but they give you a card You don't need this card. You go through the global entry, you stand in front of the thing takes a picture of your face It's all integrated boom keep walking and then As you're walking up towards the custom guys says curry you're good to go It's the whole system is all facial recognition. It's all it's all implemented We're all in the system everyone's it's this is our future life is all facial recognition That's quite disgusting So this real ID is just a little step because when you get your real ID guess what photo? Facial recognition, it's all gonna be facial and they don't tell ya I don't tell you that what they're gonna use it for

3:05:54 It's really it's use it to track you down. That's what they're gonna use it for Imagine all the people who could do that.

3:22:36 All right time to choose the ISO for the end of the show. I only have one, and it's okay but... I think you're gonna knock me out of the park here. You've got four so i'll just play mine and then we'll pick one of your winners okay? Sure. Do you know what Dvorak says? He says bullcrap! There ya go that's uh... I knew you would. Okay, so these are all the coded SS and you'll see the reason why when you start listening to them okay? And we will start at the bottom because once there's a dupe in here that was done twice one of our One of our special producers and this is it will start with bozos these two guys are not bozos Oh Scott Simon nice These two guys are not bozos That's pretty close for AI these two guys are not bozos

3:23:27 Except the end. Okay, what else you got? Podcasts that's what I call a great podcast We need to say I'm Scott Simon we need him to tag himself all right What else you got well then it'd be I think he was borderline illegal already if you think I'm pretty sure We get a note So now we have a variation of the same one because our producer decided that he's gonna, it's a guy who does Scott Simon. He's got this...he's got a lot of voice. What you're saying? This is not AI? This is a guy? No these are all AI. Oh okay. But the producer who does Scott's, the Scott Simon materials from his AI voice. He trained to train the voice. Trained the model yes

3:24:13 And it's a good model. In fact, the one with the horn is his. Okay here we go something 1 Wow! That was something right? and 2 Wow that was something right I still like... That's what i call a great podcast I think that's the best one okay I like it a lot I like it so much that I'm gonna start the tip of the day jingle because it is time for John C Dvorak's Tip Of The Day A lot of people want me to do some generalized wine tips. I'm going to do one a wine tip finally, a wine tip yes we all love the wine this is a type of wine i'm going to discuss the type of wines as sweet wine that people should check out and they're available if you go doing that If you're in a town where there's a liquor store that day when you have a wine guy knows anything that they're doing You'll probably find an example of this product

3:25:11 It's a Rhone wine, it is a sweet wine and I've discussed on the show Sauternes which is one of the great sweet wines. That's what you get the ladies with? The ladies love this Sauterne. They love this Sauterne. And then there are also German sweet wines that are worth noting which include Baren Auslese and Trockenbaren Auslese. Oh! They're trockenbären yes. Trockenbarens are very expensive Berenauslaeser means it's a late harvest of specific berries and Trockenberenauslaes is a wine that is dried, basically raisins turned into wine. And there's another type of German sweet wine called an ice wine which doesn't really hold the candle I don't think to these other two but the wine I'm gonna promote which is an inexpensive obscure wine that you can find anyone who knows anything about wine will know about this Boms de Venise

3:26:07 Can you spell that for the jury? B-A-U M-E S D E V-E N I-S C, Balm's de Venise. And Balms de Venice and it's used as sometimes referred to as muscat balmes de venice but the appellation is Balms de Venice but its a muscat wine that is incredibly sweet and its not super sweet that sickening, its not a sickening sweet wine, its just incredibly floral Like the best, it's a very specific muscat grape called the orange muscat. And it's only pretty much... I mean, muscats are varied and muscats have grown all over the place. A lot of them are table grapes but this particular grape which is specialty in this area makes a fabulous product as Muscat Bambus de Venise is a killer.

3:26:55 killer wine and if you see it try it. How much can we expect to pay for the bombs that made us? 15 bucks maybe, they're cheap! That's the price that makes a great tip of the day It's not an expensive, rare wine. Like a half bottle of Trockenbeeren Auslase can cost you $150. And what do we... Do we drink the Bombs de Venise with dinner or après-dinner? After dinner and it is perfect with almost any dessert. And do you drink it in a big wine glass one those little petite thingies?

3:27:33 You could drink it in anything you want. In a paper cup, it doesn't matter the stuff is really good. There it is! tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com Well you may have to wait for things but... ...you get such a fabulous Tip of the Day at the end that just makes it all worth it doesn't? I like it. I'm gonna go and get me a Bomb de Vinise bomb bomb de Venice and Iran. It's a beautiful thing

3:29:37 Boomer. When I was a kid, there were two things that were interesting to switch over... ...when i was a kid it was like a big deal that kids got caught smoking in the bathroom. Oooh! When you were a kid your parents kept YOU in the closet? You know what? I'm still stunned. Only a boomer! And everyone's bitching about it. It looks like it should have never begun! By the time I was out of college, it was like oh no nobody smokes in the bathroom but they smoke pot in the bathroom. Now all of a sudden they went from smoking cigarettes to pot in the bathroom.
