News Desert

00:00 I want a watercolor of my dog! You know, it's Cinco de Cuatro.

00:38 Yeah, I know so the fourth and no may be made it forth be with you for us to be with yes indeed And we just we just missed it in in the Netherlands on May 4th at 8 p.m.. I think we've talked about this before At 8 p.m.. Everybody stops the bells toll for I think it's one or two minutes and We have a moment of silence for the victims of World War 2 because tomorrow is Liberation Day in Europe Yeah, we don't even celebrate any of that here. I'm so confused about you know we've got... We've given up! We got May 5th, we got May 9th. Yes, we got may ninth President Trump April 29th was

01:26 Was it 1606 that they landed and founded Jamestown? We got all kinds of proclamations. I need to get that going again, I used to track all the proclamations Obama was really good at it and then we got...I don't think Trump did many of that in his first term but Biden did nothing except for Trans Awareness Day which was Easter So I gotta keep tracking that. President Trump is doing a lot of these things Oh wait, was it May 6th? Right thank you Ad Melker. May 6th Pim Fortuyn was murdered in the Netherlands and that was now... crap what is that? That'll be 25 years ago I think He was he was the guy that won posthumously They assassinated him two weeks before the election Yeah, like they got knife in his heart No no no! That was Theo van Gogh. No they shot him in the head at the radio station

02:22 Oh, he was shot in the head at the radio station. That's what I just said yes no security at a radio station apparently well there was but It was outside in the parking lot He had just walked outside and then full court from the graph though We had a famous Denver this years ago 30 plus years ago as a famous Denver shock jock that was shot in the parking lot. Yeah, who is that? I forget that story... You remember that guy yeah. Yeah you remember that guy but this was a politician and it was 23 years ago right and and the guy who killed him is out free. The Dutchman! It's crazy man. Why not? He served his time. Pim's never coming back but let him walk around so good you can't even say his name in the media

03:15 You have to say Fulcrum VanderGee. You can't say his last name because he has protection, you know? He has rights! Yeah, you laugh but it's pathetic It is pathetic. It's really pathetic. Hey good news the Press Freedom Index is out The Press Freedom Index everybody Which is a big deal in press land. Yeah, especially if you're left-winger Yes well let's have a listen here as to who's the best? Who's number one at press freedom The European press is suffocating While the continent remains the leading region In the world Press Freedom Index published on Friday by Reporters Without Borders The situation is deteriorating Economic difficulties are threatening editorial offices Especially independent ones

04:05 The media are facing both the end of American aid and the strengthening of Russian propaganda. Oh, it's Norway? So it is American aid that makes press freedom a big deal? Without American Aid they can't do anything because they're too stupid They need American Aid! Wait until you hear the list... Norway Estonia and Netherlands dominate this ranking This is the best Number three in press freedom on the list is The Netherlands. Are you kidding me? One of the most suppressed countries news-wise in the world!

04:44 Oh no! Number three. Already this list is suspect. You think? Conversely Greece, Serbia and Kosovo are the continent's lowest ranked countries within the European Union Athens comes last in Greece a press freedom is really suffocated by impunity of crimes committed against journalists here I'm talking about the assassination of journalist George Skarabas in 2021. There has been one trial so far and the accused have been acquitted. Hungary! Why? Something happened in 2021, yeah that's what that puts them at the bottom of the list in 2025

05:29 It's kind of like the Oscars, the way they do this. It is bullcrap but everyone's talking about it. The press freedom index is out to single out... And it seems to be just because how many journalists were murdered? Well that gives you negative points yes What if they actually explain? Have been acquitted? Hungary, singled out for its attacks on the rule of law ranks higher than Greece. But it owes this to the fact that no journalist has been killed explains Reporters Without Borders. Well get on the stick Hungary! Shoot some of those people! He's not shooting them you're not doing a good job the organization points out that the hungarian prime minister uses other means to control information some 80 of editorial offices are controlled by people close to victor orban while europe remains the safest zone for the media reporters without borders stresses that the union must remain vigilant

06:21 and the... It's so interesting, but I'll finish in seven seconds. The precise reason is the adoption last year of the European Media Freedom Act by the European Union which is historical legislation So where do you think we are on the list? We're down two spots from last year. This is around 20 57 We're around 57. Yeah, and you know why? Heinz! Because President Trump has such good relationships with the press This is insane at the bottom you can already guess hundred and let's see where's Russia Russia 171 Djibouti one a little Egypt is higher than Russia

07:07 So yeah, the top five. Press freedom! Best places to be a journalist Norway, Estonia, Netherlands Sweden... Sweden? All they do is lie about the immigrant situation Finland Denmark Ireland Portugal Well we know Portugal They lie about their outage Switzerland Germany Germany Number 11 Yeah the more you suppress your people The more press freedom you have But Germany's eleven?! Yeah That's ridiculous. Yeah, right ahead of Liechtenstein who I think the only people who live there are journalists how many people live in Liechtenstein? I'm sorry Liechtenstein. Well when we get some Lichtensteiners to donate to the show maybe we can be a little more genteel

07:56 So of course this comes at an opportune moment where we have all kinds of issues in America, where we are suppressing the free press. We're shutting down Voice Of America and oh no! NPR PBS! For more on that let's bring in Clayton Wymos he is the US... No wait stop stop the clip again I'm gonna be interrupted You are you are interruptive today it was okay Remember as we listen to the NPR and PBS complaining The total loss of income to these operations if the government stops giving him money, which they will and when they have I guess I guess Trump did something is 1% 1% Remember that it's 500 million dollars is according to Miss Meyer Marr-Marr, but

08:41 But let's just continue. This is a report from France, Yvonne Cotreaux. for press freedom is at its lowest ever score. Just starting with the United States, help us get a grasp of just how much press freedom has slipped under Donald Trump. Thank you for having me. It isn't one... He's been there for 100 days already press freedom slipping all we see is press about him negative

09:19 All of it, except for Fox. We're all positive! Both sides of the same coin. Bullcrap. Yes but 85% of them are negative and that number's been floating around Yeah well then how come it's slipping? Remember that the index is a snapshot in time of the previous year all the data we collected is from 2024 and so the decline in the United States has really one that's been going on for the better part decade. Under Biden, I guess when we first started doing the index in 2002 the United States ranked 17th in the world is now down to 57 out of 180 countries and that is reflected in

09:57 All five indicators that we measure have been taking hits year after year, especially the economic indicator due to massive layoffs in the media industry and the closure of newsrooms all across the country. That's a problem but it really has become a political and cultural problem with massive decline in trust between the public and the media right attacks by politicians in particular President Donald Trump I should add though that everything that's happened in President Trump's second administration for the past hundred or so days has not been counted in the index data. So, the decline is continuing before our very eyes and things are only getting worse." It's only getting worse during Trump even though 85%- There was no data but it's getting worse somehow Here's what's so interesting they don't take

10:50 the plethora of alternative media into account whatsoever. There's been nothing but more, more press freedom! Go look at the Midas Touch folks if you believe them... But I think maybe there is a lot of them. Maybe that's the point is that there has been too much press freedom and the people who consider it their job to be journalists, who have data. That they think, oh we can't...it's slipping because all this fake news is... Podcasters! Newsrooms, you know a newsroom that's not the...you know the Midas touch there's no news room They got a news room

11:36 It's a little closet where the guy sits, but it's in his room. So thanks to the Jones Brothers Syndicate we have some of the morning... The Sunday morning shows are always there. That's the big press freedom round people like to do in Washington DC. Yeah they used to service me with some clips once and awhile but those days are over because you've somehow queered the deal I don't know what you did? Queered the deal?! I did nothing! Maybe I just send him a note and say, thanks. I really appreciate you. Yeah maybe that's why you know? I'm pretty good about that so CBS CBS Face the Nation Margaret Brennan had Paula Kerger on You're saying who is Paula Kerger she is Paula kerger She is the CEO of PBS your favorite station your Capehart and Brooks station

12:29 And she had, at the same time... I thought Mara was or she's NPR. No, she's NPR so that she had them both on. Oh, so she's a different spook? Do you notice a pattern here with the CEOs of the two largest government partially government funded news organizations with actual newsrooms are women and they got some complaining they're doing The president tweeted or socialed or truth Republicans must defund and totally disassociate themselves from NPR and PBS the radical left monsters that so badly hurt my country's I have to tell you This is Margaret, this is Margaret Brennan but it will be her net was Margaret. I didn't understand yes Paula Kerger ke r-g er Ker

13:23 Kirger, Kirger. You look her up and I'll continue with it. I thought of Cookie Monster. I did too actually. And I thought of that children's programming. That is in many ways what people think when they think of PBS. Absolutely. Is that impudently? Are you going to do that the whole show or... Ah, you step on my clips too! Pacted too? Absolutely, and out of this executive order we believe it impacts our funding out of the Department Of Education. Which is a 30 year program that has supported not only the creation of many of the children's programming that you see on public television but also the research that we do to ensure that that programming is not just safe and enjoyable but the children after watching come away with understanding of basic letters and numbers

14:11 Half the kids in this country are not enrolled in formal pre-K. That's why programming... Oh no! They're not enrolled in formal pre-k, we have to save the children think of the children as... Former Pre K? Formal. Former I mean for...formal. Yes so their job is now to educate our children she's saying it right here you have done if your child in pre-k it used just be k What happened to just K, k-12? Now it's PK. You're a bad parent if you haven't enrolled your child in pre-k! That's why programming for children on public television was created that was the idea with Sesame Street and Mr Rogers and everything that's followed since is to make sure that children do not have access to a full array of resources Here's my question what have you done for me lately

15:03 So that's your big claim to fame, PBS? Mr. Rogers has been dead for a decade. And Sesame Street! What have you done lately?! Have the opportunity to learn and develop skills they'll need the first time they enter preschool That may be at age 2 or 3 or 4 and sometimes 5 not until they start kindergarten That's what is at risk. That was it risk oh I thought it was press freedom but I'm mistaken It's not press freedom its children President Trump hates kids. They do, yeah. Let's go to Catherine Marr By the way there is nothing spooky about her No? Where did she come from what is her background? Baltimore...she was a pre-med kid

15:44 student. There's nothing that looks like she has anything like that. Well, unlike her here is Catherine Marr CEO of NPR. So Catherine I want to ask you about the news when we went and read the executive order the language in there says government funding of news media in this environment is outdated and unnecessary corrosive to appearance of independence Americans have the right to expect if their tax dollars fund public broadcasting that it's fair, accurate unbiased and nonpartisan. How do you respond to the implication that your news coverage is not? Well, just listen to the No Agenda show. They tell you every soul we do twice a week! It's not fair and nonpartisan... I'm biased. Yeah, yeah. I can't get over her. She is that is you know the the jingle where's my jingle? Yeah this one. Elitist voices of America This is NPR

16:44 Or PBS, totally an elitist voice this. Is not fair and nonpartisan I mean- Unbiased. Yeah well first of all I think it's important to note that i'm the CEO and we have an independent editor in chief who oversees the newsroom so I don't make editorial decisions and that is just always an important point to make but I think our newsroom would really take issue with that. By the way stop! Stop! I had to stop the clip. So what? So what? It's an important distinction to make. She says, oh you know I'm the CEO and don't make editorial decisions...I think that is an important point Why is it important who cares

17:20 But it's important to the elitist voices, I guess. I don't know. We have been on air for more than 50 years we've been covering news as it occurs across the nation in local communities overseas we have an extraordinary Washington desk and our people report straight down the line and I think that not only do they do that they do so with a mission that very few other broadcast organizations have which is requirement to serve the entire public That is the point of public broadcasting as we bring people together in those conversations. And so, we had a whole host of conservative voices on air lately and- What? When was this? I've missed the conservative voices making that must be like Brooks

18:03 A whole host though, a whole host. It's like Jennifer Rubin who always billed herself as the conservative blogger. The woman is so left-leaning it's ridiculous Making requests of the Trump administration to have their officials on air we would like to see more people accept those invitations hard for us to be able to say we can speak for everyone when folks won't join us. Oh, I see it's their fault because they don't want to take the risk of being on your airwaves okay so you're not participating and therefore we have to do what we have to do that's my takeaway The White House and the talking points and what they're saying because it's oh so mean. So that was the executive order then we went we looked at the White House um talking points, and what they're putting on social media that there are a lot more about you than you um and on NPR. Well that is a propagandistic usage she said when she says the white house statement about the situation is not talking points

19:04 There's a, their talking points are specific. There is usually a list of points or something that's transmitted around you can talk about this and talk about that it's not published on whitehouse.gov It is not a press release, a press release is not talking points she's saying there for very specific purpose to get it ingrained into the listeners mind that its propaganda from The White House it's bull crap That is a good point and I'm gonna talk to the kids about that this month that's a good one thank you So that was the executive order. I am, this is important to the kids understanding Oh that's right you're giving a lecture Yeah Well you might as well use the other one which will come up in one of my clips where somebody uses the word claimed instead of said That was already on my list Let's get back to uh...the news deserts When we went and looked at the White House um talking points and what they are putting out social media there are lot more about

20:02 you than you. And on NPR, they were saying things like a July 2022 editor's note that said the Declaration of Independence had offensive language against Native Americans. We checked and the word savages is used. The White House faults your editors for avoiding the term biological sex when discussing transgender issues. They apparently want you to use the term pro-life and faulted your use of the term anti abortion rights to refer to activists. Well, they got some good talking points there. So when you see specific editorial criticisms like that What do you interpret the intention of this being? That they hate us!

20:44 What's the intention? Let's do some mind reading people, mind reading. Well I interpret the intention of this being trying to create a narrative around our editorial independence and as I said in our- To control it? And I think that isn't an affront to the First Amendment we have an independent newsroom and we will always have an independent newsroom Hold on a second Just because they are exercising their part of the First Amendment, that is somehow an encroachment on NPR's use of the First Amendment? They want to control our newsroom. This is not true! There's a difference between criticism and control Thank you Yes thank you

21:28 It's good that we're doing this because people just watch us and they just sucked it all up. That is an affront to the First Amendment, we have a independent newsroom and we will always have an independent newsroom from my perspective part of the separation that the first amendment offers is to keep government out in fact the statute Well, then why do you take government money if you want to keep government out? Wow. Great point! What's up with that?! It was written when the Public Broadcasting Act was signed into law it was very explicit about interference from any member of the government whether it is elected officials whether members of independent agencies because- Hold on a second, should we stop again? Yeah sure

22:14 Right after she says this, Brennan does the same thing. She comes out and says well it was after all what you said then why do you want government money at all? That's what happens right Statute that was written when the Public Broadcasting Act was signed into law, it was very explicit about interference from any member of the government. Whether it is elected officials whether members of independent agencies because it is so sacrosanct that division between the state and independent media That was the Public Broadcasting Act of 1967. Set it up as a private corporation to give protection from influence and control, I would assume that's also from the White House

22:57 So, I've been listening to NPR. That didn't clip too much of it but they keep talking about that's why it was set up with two years in advance so that this money was done in 2023 and it's our money and you can just take that money away. This was to protect us from the government involvement with us but we're still taking government money. You understand? But we can have involved from the government government money.

23:37 insulate both of our work from political interference. I think that is critical that Americans understand that public broadcasting is meant to be independent so we can serve the public interest regardless of whatever administration is in office or whatever Congress's whim are. private corporation with that same intent. So I think there was a lot of focus even at that moment in when the act was signed. This is very interesting, they keep harping on this it's an independent company well yeah then go get independent money you know? It's like

24:16 And if it's only 1%, what's the big deal? We'll find out, of course. That protections would need to be put in place because if we do our job, it is possible that we will produce content that some people may wish we have done a different way and this way gives us the independence. The other thing that keeps us independent is most of our funding comes from viewers like you. Viewers like me! It comes It comes from viewers like you, but still we're here going to waffle on for an hour about the money from the government. But it comes from viewers like you. We ask people to make contribution to public broadcasting for something they get for free because we are available free to every home in this country and so both a combination of the fact that it was built as a public private partnership there would be some public money that went into public broadcasting that would enable stations and small communities

25:12 alongside the fact that most of our support comes from people in communities. That really does create something that is very independent and very responsive to the communities that we serve And by the way, a lot of them are red communities. So you know Republicans shouldn't be doing that I think we can wrap it up with this one The declining trust in the news and if I may just to give us sense of those numbers For every single dollar that the federal government puts in stations raise on average about seven dollars right from public private Sorry from private sources and so you also have to recognize that this order interferes with That was interesting flub from public priming I wonder if that was truth coming out there. Not sure.

26:05 You know, for every dollar government's closing the price we make eight bucks. Well why don't you just make seven bucks? I mean this is like throwing numbers around like... Every dollar results in ten dollars! Yes it's magic! We are a magic money machine! Seven dollars from public private sorry from private sources and so you also have to recognize that this order interferes with the the First Amendment rights of our listeners and viewers who've made a choice to contribute. That's just a basic lie. So the government not giving PBS money interferes with my First Amendment rights? Yours! Yours, well... That's what she said right? Well that she has she has a point because if they can't fund Brooks and Capehart and Scott Simon it will hurt the show so you know Scott Simon only works on the weekends he makes over $400,000 dollars a year

27:08 No, that's just painful to hear. That's very painful. Somebody did a breakdowns one of the... I came out of Doge I think The money that they pay their anchors on PBS is..I mean it's not Fox where you can get millions but For the amount of work they do, and it's mostly radio. We're talking about the radio side. Yeah. They get... For radio that's well paid. I mean there's very... 400 to 500 especially for a weekend gig. It's not working five days a week all day! No i mean most people in radio are making $35 000 a year

27:46 Seriously, except for you got a couple. Sean Hannity I'm sure Glenn Beck. Yeah they're making millions. Those guys make millions but they have syndicated deals. Yes yes all right let's continue the First Amendment rights of our listeners and viewers who've made a choice to contribute and this is the news that they want to see in here or the programming that they are committed to? It did just stand out to us as journalists ourselves because There's declining trust in media, in news and the president was talking about that himself there. That he wants a free and fair press we're going to continue to cover this and thank you for your time today. Thank you for having us. Hold on! Now that's over they thank you for having me why doesn't Brennan's got the woman there

28:36 She just brought up a point, out of the blue Brennan says well you know there's declining trust in the media. Goodbye! Why doesn't she say... I mean it makes no sense what? Yeah yeah you're right. Why doesn't she say there's declining trust in the media Why do you think that is? It's a simple question. That's not, you know Maybe she can't answer maybe she can but why wouldn't you ask that You've got the CEO standing right there and you'd say does declining trust in the media goodbye Well, she's taking that as a given fact. That's what she's doing there like everybody knows and we just had the report about the press freedom is on decline it's slipping ever since President Trump came in office slipping is going away people don't trust because I would like to know what her answer to that question that simple question Would have been but Brennan no didn't have No Because of what you just said shoot You just made this an assumption as a statement effect and didn't want even discuss it any further

29:36 This is a terrible show. These people get paid a lot of money to do this stuff, it's a terrible show and Brennan is no good! Here's the last clip I got. President Donald Trump signed a controversial executive order on Thursday It aims to cut money for NPR and PBS The American people are sick of funding institutions who promote values that they find repugnant The public broadcasters are accused of left-leaning bias I wanted to play both sides of the argument The White House and Republicans say one glaring example was NPR's refusal to cover the Hunter Biden laptop scandal shortly before the 2020 election.

30:23 At the time, NPR released a statement that said we don't want to waste our time on stories that are not really stories. But it did turn out to be a real story. Our current editorial leadership believes that was a mistake as do I. Yeah, the whole country knows that was a mistake definitely impacted the election critics also point out how drag queens have been featured on PBS children's programming The executive order Oh, that's what they're doing is see they didn't bring that up on the CBS meet the press But here they talk about it because after mr. Rogers and Big Bird we got Drag time story hour. We impacted the election critics also point out how drag queens have been featured on PBS children's programming The executive order directs the Corporation for public broadcasting to slash the more than half a billion dollars and federal funding for NPR and PBS Local stations could be hit the hardest with some at risk of shutting down altogether in a statement NPR said we will challenge this executive order you

31:22 If they get $7 for every dollar that they get from the government, why would they be shutting down? You know why is because they have to buy the incredibly expensive programming from American public media commercial organizations. If you want fresh air if you want any of these programs you have to buy them at true truly market value, syndicated programming market value. There's no deal here and you can't FTP it you have to get it off their satellite system which is another couple million bucks a year where you could have for $1.50 you got Starlink come on people. I'm at risk of shutting down altogether in a statement NPR said we will challenge this executive order using all means available and PBS said

32:08 The president's blatantly unlawful executive order, issued in the middle of the night threatens our ability to- In the middle of the night. He issued it in the middle of the night so that we wouldn't notice it. Oh, is that what you're trying to imply? And PBS said the president's blatantly unlawful executive order issued in the middle of the night threatens our ability to serve the American public. We use our broadcast as the emergency backup for emergency alerts for the country. Yeah this Oh, I heard this one yesterday. If the power goes down it's our broadcast that will save everybody like... Yeah but then there are little portable radios you'd be picking up PBS Like in Northern West Carolina No! It was Elon Musk Starlink that saved people not you guys I'm sorry And Ham guy Hams! Hams and Starlink It sounds like a breakfast

33:08 threatens our ability to serve the American public. We use our broadcast as the emergency backup for emergency alerts for the country and you need 100% coverage to make that happen we have news deserts 20 percent of Americans live in place... 100%, you need a 99.999, not 100%. And here comes the news desert again. other than public radio. The corporation for Public Broadcasting also released a statement saying the organization is not a federal executive agency subject to the president's authority, it's safe to say this executive order will be challenged in court. All right well this will be fun because now they get to talk about themselves which is all you should have heard on the media. Brooke I couldn't even clip it

34:16 It was all about us, you know. We're being suppressed! There's this little thing called podcasting people and you know what? You spent a hundred million dollars and had to shut it down because of your Neumann mics in your newsrooms Joe Rogan does more for information than you do. I'll put together all your stations, everybody knows it! You know that's interesting that point you make though about the using Starlink instead of these expensive satellites when i was doing a radio show for The Real Computing Show on PBA, PB News, the other network public radio and it was uh... It cost a fortune

35:05 You had to go up to the bird and then you had the transponder number, and everyone had to download it from whatever. Back in the day MTV didn't have that kind of money when I started there. They didn't even have a lighting director makeup or wardrobe And so to get the shows on the air we recorded on U-matic high band which is basically a glorified Betamax And then they'd put it in a commu- With the bigger cassette. With the bigger cassette, they put in a communicar which was low rent basically like a cab service you could call and then they would drive up to Long Island and then you have tape jockey sitting there just hitting the VJ segment than hitting the video, the music video We didn't have satellites

35:55 Couldn't afford it. And now, yes! It's actually like a buck ten. Not even 150 bucks. I think it started off 99 was the introductory price and now I think I pay 110 or 120. Honestly, it's an expense for the show because it's a backup to the backup to the backup But it's impressive. And, you know... So to say that you need this? No! The guys up at... They do Gramerica in Canada. They use it on the air I know and I didn't notice until they pointed out because I've been on that show and there is no latency It's quite nice Yeah You should go back on I should They haven't invited me back

36:38 They're probably... The ratings went to the toilet when they got me on. I don't think so! People love it when you're on, they do. They always tell me that. Ahhhh... Dvorak he's a ratings bonanza get that guy on all right well i can go all kinds of directions now but i will leave the floor to you sir Well what do i have? I get this a lot of stuff. We don't listen to each other's clips, so... What did you not get? And then tell me if i got it. What did I not get? Okay that is good point! That's new element in the show! New element of the show?! I didn't get any clip of Ben Gurion Airport getting bombed by the Houthis. Israel on high alert after missile impacted near Ben Gurion airport outside Tel Aviv

37:33 The attack was claimed by Yemen's Houthi rebels who have regularly launched attacks on Israel since the start of the war in Gaza. The attack resulted in a crater near the airport but didn't damage any structures. Authorities say at least two people were lightly injured. Israel's defense minister has threatened to strike back quote sevenfold at the Yemeni militants So this is a new version of Go Fish. So you say, I didn't get this and then... I really like this idea! And then I play it and if I don't have it, then I tell you to go fish and then you pick one of yours Let's try for the second one What do ya got?

38:11 Oh, well that would caught me flat-footed. Come on man! I had the one because that's the only one i was watching this morning and said oh it'd be nice to have a clip of that. So that's all you can think of? Yeah unfortunately there must be something else that happened this morning Well... I mean I figured most of morning stuff you pick up Well President Trump was on with uh... the Manhans lady A welker?! Yes so he did ABC we know how that turned out I respectfully agree to disagree about the Photoshop. Here's an interview in a nutshell, you suck ABC! You suck! Well do you want to hear... Yes i would like to hear Welker Okay this is pretty much all about tariffs which covers two topics and one

39:00 But sir, you acknowledge when you announced your tariffs for example the stock market dropped. It's been volatile it has since gone up. Do you take responsibility? Ultimately I take responsibility for everything but i've only just been here for a little more than three months But the stock market, look at what's happened in the last short period of time. Didn't it have nine or ten days in a row or eleven days where its gone up? So far we're cordial. It's not going to last! And the tariffs have just started kicking in and were doing really well

39:39 Psychologically, I mean the fake news was giving me such press on the tariffs. The tariffs are gonna make us rich We're gonna be a very rich country So let's talk about the tariffs and I want to ask you about something You said this week got a lot of attention you were at your cabinet meeting? You said quote I'm gonna quote what he said Maybe that children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls Yeah And maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more than they would normally I love this because this is my theory too. It's like, stop buying junk from China! Wake up people! Are you saying that your tariffs will cause some... Again Trump hates children This is the new meme This is interesting the way she's twisted this to Yeah? It's like maybe the kids would have two instead of thirty

40:23 And they were talking specifically about toys from China, which is junk from China. Which is what they're discussing and there's gonna be less of it perhaps I doubt it by the way yeah but So she and she twists it have you been ever? I mean we had we know some people with young kids here. I am astounded By this junk That these kids have they have an entire room that is just their junk room. Have you ever seen this? Well, I have the problem with Theo Uh-huh is that they won't let him have a lot of toys over there so the junk is over here in your office

41:05 No, in my downstairs front room which has... there's bins so he has to put the toys back in the bin. Oh good, good, good. It would look like I have a dozen kids if somebody comes and visits me. How many kids do you have here living here? Yeah well exactly it's a lot and why how come they won't... But what does the kid like to play with the most one of the main things is a wooden little car or wooden car with wooden wheels I know, it's astounding. It looks like he was made in Slovenia! It's astounding but meanwhile there is all this plastic junk and furry junk probably toxic It's everywhere, all right.

42:04 $30 I think they can have three dolls or four dolls Because what we were doing with China was just unbelievable. We had a deficit of hundreds of billions of dollars Well, he's already gone from two to four doll so he slip and he slipped it. He's like okay gonna for Every child can have four dolls now. Thank you, Mr President! We're very happy... By the way are you running a baby daycare there? Is that what you're doing on the side? You got the dog kennel and now your here running kids? We've got a dog kennel we get everything. Alright so um I have some tariff clips since you brought it up Oh don't want me to continue? Do you want an interrupt? Oh that was the end of her? We had more of Kristen? Oh yes its all about tariffs And its just about to get fun because

42:49 Okay, no play it out and then I'll play that. I have a Buffett clip, but Buffett came in and said something nasty... And then there's one more Well it's about to become a dishonest interview you as you understand When you say they could have three dolls instead of thirty dolls are you saying? Well now It's three he said two is it four Is it two or is it three what is it Kristen Welker? I'm confused now when you say they could have $3 instead of $30 Are you saying Americans can see empty store shelves No, I'm not saying that. No more dolls for the kids! Really? A memo went out somewhere... Alright let's go for the kids Trump hates children That must have been something like that alright here's our new angle everybody This will kill him yeah this angles gonna do it Yeah This'll get him to quit

43:44 When you say they could have $3 instead of $30, are you saying Americans can see empty store shelves? No I'm not saying that. I'm just saying they don't need to have 30 dollars they can have three. They don't need to have 250 pencils they can have five! This is NBC. What a conversation, this is network news! It's not over But you're basically saying there could be some supply shortages because of the tariffs We don't have to waste money on a trade deficit with China for things we don't need For junk that we don't need

44:27 Well, prices are already going up on some popular items. Tires strollers such a dishonest interview. There it is there it's a dishonest interview and we're only one minute in prices down on groceries price right down for oil prices are down for all energy prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline and let me tell you when you have The big thing, what he did. He spent like a stupid person which he was but he spent like a very stupid person and that was bad for inflation But what really killed us with inflation was the price of energy It went up to $3.90 even four dollars and in California five and six dollars right? Okay I have it down to 1.98 in many states right now Not in Texas Where's the dollar 98

45:19 What's it? I don't know. It's not a... We have, it's like Mississippi maybe? I have no idea. It's like $2.50 here now so anyways. There is still five bucks here Yeah well that's your taxes You go that much lower on energy which is ahead of my prediction because I really thought I could get it down into the two fifties we have it down at a dollar ninety-eight in numerous places that Let's keep on the children thing. Let's keep harping in that because we all know the number one out president Trump hates children Well, let me give you some examples of these are I mean these are actual examples there go So you're saying the prices that are going down? Some prices are going up tires strollers strollers some clothing and a weight of your terrace That's peanuts compared to what energy energy is

46:13 60% of the cost sir you can't use a big you campaigned on a promise to bring prices down on day Well, I don't know why say strollers are going up strollers. Keep on the strollers This is great kirsten what kind of thing i'm saying that gasoline is going down gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller someplace. But what do you say to Americans who say they voted for you because they want and they need relief right now? They're getting it! Right now, what about those different items I just don't care if they have the strollers... Despite the fact that we have a stubborn Fed You said dolls even dolls could cost a couple bucks Maybe they might but you don't need to have as i said 35 dollars you can have two three four

46:55 And save a lot of money. We don't need to feed the beast Don't feed the beast it's unbelievable clip of the day go on oh wow okay? Thank you very much I'll stop here because they kind of stay in tariffs, but let's put your tariff clips in here I think that's probably a wise idea She's is great It's fantastic so pathetic President Trump So they gotta bring in Buffett because he's retiring and he's got to have his last shot in there. You know, he's a Democrat. And uh... Bill. I guess he's not friends with Bill anymore? No! Because of Epstein we all know that yeah Buffett knows what's up He knows what's up so he does he wants no part of it and you know though is I don't think he likes divorce I think here that's the problem for him I think you might be right he said from you know he's from Wichita Yeah

47:56 Here's Buffett anti-terrorist short. Yeah, don't use him. Don't use him! Why? Because he's invested in Chinese companies that's why. Yeah of course Trump... there is another clip is Trump tariffs MT Meanwhile, President Trump brushed aside recession fears in an interview for tomorrow's Meet the Press on NBC. Mr Trump said the pains of this transition period will lead to a flourishing economy. It is the same question- There are many people on Wall Street say this is gonna be the greatest windfall ever happened. And that's my question long term Is it okay in the short term to have a recession? Look look yeah everything's okay

48:57 What we are, I said this is a transition period. I think we're gonna do fantastically This week new government Fantastically? Is that-is that the proper use of the word fantastic? Oh no! I don't think fantastically is a real word Fantastically What we are, I said this is a transition period. I think we're gonna do fantastically This week new government numbers show that the US economy shrank in the first three months of year That's the first drop in three years Imports in the first quarter surged as companies tried to beat tariff deadlines. The tariffs on cars and car parts kicked in today with significant changes intended to blunt the impact on US car makers. Okay, let's go back to Kristen Welker because now it is about Abrior Galagadon Garcia

49:47 I'm curious to know what it means. You declared a national emergency on the southern border. What does it mean? What does it mean because we had a national emergency on the border! A national emergency on the southern border, the order is still in place even though you're saying that the border's secure. It means we have the most secure border we've ever had question becomes, when will you know that the emergency is over? Are you planning to lift it at some point. Is it necessary because obviously the military's involved will you lift that emergency? Well, the biggest emergency is the courts aren't allowing us to take really- We're gonna talk about that but talk to me first about this. That's the main emergency because- Talk to me first about this emergency. The border now was not the emergency. The border

50:32 It's all part of the same thing though. The big emergency right now is that we have thousands of people that we want to take out and we have some judges that want everybody to go to court. Some of them you appointed, sir including three on the Supreme Court. I liked it! I've been hearing more and more so when they really wanna hammer a point home... Sir? Some of them you appointed, sir?! Yeah, shimmy your shoulders. And we have some judges that want everybody to go to court. Some of them you appointed sir. Hold on a second what's an implication here is that the judges are political?

51:09 They don't know that they're doing this, but they're actually impugning the court system by making the comment well some of them you appointed. In other words so if you appointed them they should go one way if you didn't appoint him to going to go the other as if the judges are all part of a political system instead of being a judiciary that's independent. Well I think... They're actually saying it out loud! She's admitting that these judges are political And that, yes I think you're right. That's a good catch The big emergency right now is that we have thousands of people that we want to take out and we have some judges that want everybody to go to court Some of them you appointed sir including three on the Supreme Court You know they change? It's unbelievable

51:55 It's unbelievable how that happens, but they do change. Overall, it's an overall emergency on immigration. And if the courts don't allow us to take people out... If we had to have a court case every single- think of it! Every single person, we have millions of people. We're gonna have millions of court cases? Figure two weeks in court cases would be 300 years. So meanwhile the EPP

52:33 The Euro Parliament, they have the what do they call them? The debates. They have this thing in the European parliament where they do debates and it's basically a reason to take a trip! So they all went to Valencia, Spain got there right after the blackout coincidentally and Queen Ursula spoke she spoke for about half an hour I only got two short clips from her But, yeah I mean this is great. What's happening in America is great for us! Now the world of trade is turning towards us and Frederich you mentioned it

53:14 Since last year we've concluded a new wave of trade deals from Melcosur to Mexico to Switzerland We're working with India and Indonesia with the Emirates and Thailand the Philippines and Malaysia If I clip this I didn't put what's-his-name yelling in Boston and Minnesota and then we're gonna go to Iowa. Yeah well that's why there are two of us They all want to deal with us because we are fair, we are reliable and we play by the rules I don't own rules but it is rules So my friends let's stay the course cool-headed

54:01 and united because that's who we are and that's the European way of trade. Let's stick to that. But the key to our prosperity is to put our own house in order, and to make business easy right here in Europe Okay, the business is anything but easy in Europe. So she referenced Friedrich... Friedrich? That's a... stop a second! That is a fabulous point that has to be made doing business in Europe as a pain in the ass for everybody tons of paperwork, blue envelopes... They can't get their act together with entrepreneurial stuff they don't have anything like Silicon Valley it's very hard to invest there's all these roadblocks and this and that

54:53 Even when they let you do something, it's a... They'll put up roadblocks. I'm reminded of this one time I went to France, this is long time ago and I had an import license so I worked with an importer so I can bring some wine back because otherwise he'd take the big wine to him. I was wondering what it was for? Yes, of course! Yeah, I imported about 30-40 cases. Oh beautiful! But half the first cases that I got because there were these two different kinds paper works that were involved with getting the wine imported and exported. And it was one kind, and there was another kind of one for doing something somewhere and one for getting it out of the country. So I collected a bunch of wine from the Jura region and then went to see a wine producer in the area

55:37 the guy who ran Hobai and he was looking at my paperwork, he says you got the wrong paper. Your papers are not in order Mr. Forek! Well he wasn't doing the exporting, he just looked at it and said this guy screwed you over by giving me the wrong paperwork now you're gonna have to go through a rigamarole to get this stuff out of here I said what? He gave me the right paperwork for his wines i got a bunch of wine out but when I dropped the wine off...I dropped it off and there's all these...oh you can't do it the French guys, the exporters that were there. And he said oh this is no good you can't do this I said okay here's the wine here's the paperwork If you could take care of it, you'd take care or keep the wine. I'm outta here! I gotta fly back. The wine all got shipped? It all got shipped Oh really?! Yeah it all got shipped. This is all bullcrap They were waiting for a bribe That's what they were waiting for Maybe...I don't know what it was Your papers are not in order Mr DeWijk So she referenced Friedrich Friedrich Merz also known as Mr Peepers

56:41 And Mr. Piepers made it so... I'm going to get to the blackout in a minute, but Mr. Piepers made a big deal about climate change. Oh, climate change! We have to be very careful because we have this issue where you know we want to increase our industrial base but we kind of have no energy So he has a plan for it and is very sneaky so he slips this in. We have to find a better balance between fighting climate change, which is necessary more than ever... More than ever! ...and protecting the environment on the one hand and avoiding de-industrialization on the other hand in our countries. Bravo! So they're all like yeah that's right we need more energy we can't do anything bravo! However my dear friends whenever someone says you my dear friends you're about to get screwed

57:39 This is a very real and serious issue We will not tackle the enormous challenges ahead with a shrinking economy a shrinking economy shrinking Sorry to make fun of your your Your accent there, but it's what it is the enormous challenges ahead With a shrinking economy. We should be ambitious about in cutting regulation and relying on market-based instruments such as ETS implemented by the European Union. Yes, ETS! ETS! So allow me to be very open on that. Please Let us fight over regulation on all levels. So he throws in ETS

58:38 which is the emissions trading system of the European Union. They, so... Oh it'll be less regulation because you just got to buy some carbon credits that's all! He's literally announcing a tax on all of the European Union member states and he's doing it under we're gonna well we gotta tackle regulation we gotta make it easier yeah I'll make it easier didn't say I was gonna make it less expensive So then they bring out Paula Pinault. She is the spokeshole for the European Commission, the worst spokeshole ever when it comes to English and so she chose to do it in English and I think if you're going to be a spokesperson

59:25 You shouldn't be... the whole time. And so she referenced the blackout that happened just a day, coincidentally just the day before this Valencia meeting and of course she brought it right away to disinformation! We can really see how far manipulation of information can go and what a negative impact it can be. On the basis of that fake article, there were reactions thinking that there had been a deliberate attack behind which is obviously very bad and can have very serious consequences so this again is an example on how

1:00:11 information manipulation and the minds that trust incredible sources and organizations. She's talking about the article that came out, that said it was a cyber attack And it can actually even divide our society in light of such a serious incident In the Commission we have several tools at our disposal to fight against manipulation of information. It includes a task force on strategic communication and countering information manipulation, but also active collaboration with fact-checkers with online platforms. Fract checkers! We have many fract checkers

1:00:56 By the way, just a small interstitial. Several people emailed me after I gave the report from our dude named Ben named Ben protector of megawatts whose actual job it is to understand protect grid networks understand how they're working, what is working and what isn't working. And he told me straight up from the people he coordinates with... He talks with it's in the business. He said this is what happened They lost 15 gigawatts from France and so they had no base load then everything started to fluctuate and then the system just starts to shut down that is what happened but oh no here's an example Adam

1:01:44 You are misinformed about what caused the outage. You must look at Kim Iverson's interview with Ben Davidson on YouTube called Magnetic Pole Shift, Europe's Just The Beginning! If you know his credentials he is the real deal and he has it right. Respectfully your fan." So this whole nonsense that they launched into the atmosphere right away Well, no it's a very rare event atmospheric conditions and then we've got the space weather guy saying oh that it's the magnetic pole shift. That's what caused it come on It's like a psyop on top of a psyop No It's much simpler than that although The European Commission doesn't know exactly what happened We go back to Paula Pinhole and she brings in at the very end here

1:02:35 She tosses over to the lady who's in charge of that. Thank you, Christiane for giving me also the opportunity to precisely make this point and how important it is and how we really need to work together in light of information manipulation in order to counter it. And if I still may add on renewables and use this opportunity. I want to say that the Spanish and Portuguese operators, they are well experienced in handling high volumes of renewable generation in their electricity systems so we also have clear rules on the EU level in this regard and we ensure that the balancing of the electricity system and its capacity is

1:03:18 is capable to absorb renewable generation. So we still don't know what was the cause of the blackout, but this is on the renewables that there is enough experience to handle it. A follow-up? Such – We will not yet elaborate on that before we really have a solid assessment by the experts. So, we don't know exactly what happened but just so you know we can handle renewables. We've got expertise. We don't know what happened but we can handle renewables. We can do it! We don't know what happened. We'll follow up when we know what happened Did you even hear my note that I read or were you offline at that point? Can you hear me? I can hear now yeah i saw what happened Well I had to go back...I had to do that because I was yakking at you for the last five minutes about one thing or another and didn't hear any of it. I'm sorry

1:04:13 Oh man, what were you yakking? Well I've gone it's old news now. Well give me a shot give me try me out! I don't remember it was just like some comment I had about something that one of these clips you were playing this has been going on for like six seven minutes. Uh-huh so sorry well I've got the thing...I'll put the monitor right in front of me now so I can see if it happens again It's very annoying I'm telling you it's a clean feed deal man That's what I think. It makes no sense for it to be anything else, it just switches interfaces like oh no... No! I expect that happened once a show Yeah whenever I'm talking about PsyOps there goes Oh let's... well since we're doing that

1:04:59 Let's talk about... CHEM TRAILS! This, ever since Bobby the Op came out and talked about this on The Dr. Phil Show everybody has to get back into it We're all talking about the chem trails we even talked about on the last show I do actually Yeah i think we talked it out in the last show we don't need to talk about anymore Do we? Well we have to play the mainstream media clips about it because its funny By the way, there is ample evidence – I'll send you the links – that there's aluminum barium all kinds of stuff in jet fuel in today's modern jet fuel.

1:05:42 that should probably not be in jet fuel. But this is French 24 here to debunk the Chemtrails conspiracy. Vedika Bail is over by the big bull good evening to you Vedika today then talking about a conspiracy theory Tell me what they are because I don't know and tell us what's going on. I don't know, i've never heard of it! I'm a news anchor...I've never heard- What is this chemtrails nonsense? I've never heard of this Well Mark the US Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr has pledged that the U.S will fight chemtrails. Now this is an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory that's been around for decades but it's been consistently debunked by scientists as completely debunked not proven incorrect but debunked so the chemtrails conspiracy theory is the belief that these long-lasting condensation trails that we've seen in the skies left by aircraft, that they are in fact toxic

1:06:37 chemical trails that are seeding the skies for weather modification, biological warfare in order to poison us or even to control people's minds and some of their believers question the existence of these chemtrails and the inconsistencies of them. They ask why they're not always there? Why is it only some planes that produce them or why do they come in then disappear essentially now in reality, let's talk the science behind them. Well the scientific basis behind these are not chemtrails at all they are in fact contrails in other words condensation trails they are essentially just temporary plane created clouds and they're made up of water vapor and they take place when the hot jet fuel exhaust which is mainly water vapor with some soot particles when that mixes with the colder air high altitudes this creates

1:07:32 ice crystals that then form these trail like clouds and these dissipate based on the weather conditions of the region that they're taking place in, of the day. There's many different regions now... It's amazing so these ice crystals they float all the way down to the Texas ground our weather conditions are perfect for ice! This isn't to say to say that weather modification is entirely false as a concept we know that cloud seeding exists to induce rain in dry areas but this is on a very, very small scale worldwide. But overall Mark according to a 2017 study around 10% of Americans fully believe in this chemtrails conspiracy theory? Yes and it's about 70 percent of the town of Fredericksburg

1:08:16 And so... That low? Well, I don't know. I don't know that 30% of Democrats expect the chemtrails before the grid goes down and So here she is with a very nifty way of turning it all around to say well You know it's actually not a bad idea. Not as scary isn't it? It's so scary! What's scary? The chemtrails or the fact that people think they're chemtrails? the emissions and he appeared to blame chemtrails, the existence of them on another government agency. When he was asked about chemicals being sprayed in the sky and what he'd do about it, he took the question seriously let's take a very quick listen to what he said. That is not happening at my agency you know we don't do that it's done I'm we think by DARPA and a lot of it now is coming out of the jet fuel. You know those materials are put into jet fuel

1:09:26 I'm going to do everything in my power to stop it. We're bringing on somebody who's gonna think only about... Now when he says, we think it's done by DARPA what he is referring to the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency which is a part of the US Department of Defense now this isn't the first time he has publicly endorsed this He has previously replied to Chemtrails Fanatics on X saying that they are going to stop this crime but more recently just a month ago he replied to this person, this believer in the theory who was pushing for bills in the US to ban atmospheric geoengineering and what that is it's a new field of science where scientists are trying to find ways to fight the consequences of fossil fuel pollution that we as humans are creating. Now Kennedy essentially said 24 states are moving to ban geoengineering and health and human services will do its part

1:10:17 Well, what we know about that is that Tennessee has already banned the release of airborne chemicals in geoengineering. The Chemtrails bill Florida is also moving along that bill forward and this February Alabama is also launched that discussion they're having those talks at the moment so we can see the escalation of this conspiracy theory throughout all levels of the US government. And as you said, there's zero scientific basis for this Mark so we will have to see how... Give it a second. Should US states move to ban geoengineering? It is in its infancy but this could have problematic consequences for looking for ways to fight the climate change and effects of pollution that we humans are causing here on Earth So us dirty humans were trying to ban chemtrails

1:11:04 because we don't like it, but that could actually kill us all. That's literally what she just did with her yak-yak-yak. Was she going to kill us all as a long winded observations? The lady doth protest this too much me thinks well I have serious doubts about things being put into jet fuel because those engines are very expensive and they're sensitive to do all kinds of things And then whatever the chemical is that goes through the burning process would be oxidized and screwed up massively. I don't know why if you're gonna start dumping stuff into the sky, you just wouldn't use winglets so you have a little thing at the end of the wing

1:11:46 just spew it out like when they did cloud seeding back in the 50s 60s and 70s in California. They weren't doing it through the engine fuel, they were just dumping it into the air! Yeah but its DARPA, they've got to come up with new things this is what they do I got a new way to do it You can be skeptical, that's fine. There are more in California than there are in Texas so I'm fine with that although the 70% of chemtrail fanatics as she said in Fredericksburg are all very upset that our Governor Abbott has not followed suit with Alabama and Florida, and banned this practice. This Alabama... She had Obama on her mind I think. Alabama! By the way, do we have a... I have to change the topic? Yeah you can change the topic. I don't mind changing it. I've done my chemtrails bit since you brought Abbott in. Where's my Abbott clip? You haven't Abbot click Texas voucher

1:12:44 Yeah, this is not reported anywhere. The governor of Texas has signed a law enabling over 5 million US students to be provided with state funds to pay for education in private schools the scheme costing $1 billion dollars in its first two years as being regarded as a watershed moment in a conservative campaign to remake public education in America David Bamford reports Texas Governor Greg Abbott has called his education voucher scheme the culmination of a movement sweeping through the US. Eligible parents in Texas will be offered $10,000 per year to opt out of the state education system. The scheme also being rolled out in other Republican states has been strongly supported by President Trump who accuses public schools of indoctrinating children with liberal ideology

1:13:34 But Democrats and some rural Republicans argue it diverts resources away from already underfunded public schools. the Texas Congress is going through right now. There's a lot of really amazing bills, SB 13 is one of them and that will ban completely outlaw books certain books in schools libraries class anywhere and we know what books they are Yeah. And I think it's gonna pass, everyone's... you know they'd already passed the House This voucher thing is getting no press! Well of course not! This was from BBC World Service that's where i got this story and it's a big deal It's a huge deal because this is what the Republicans have been trying to do since the 60s yeah go figure oh my god they're starting to accomplish it let's don't report on any of them give anyone any ideas

1:14:36 And we say, well okay finally we can homeschool but you're killing us with the chemtrails Abbott. Chemtrails! Where's the jingle? Where's the jingle? Chemtrails! I knew it. Of course Here is a funny story of the week just to...I have some thematic stories but i want to play couple these standalones This is the funniest story of the week. Trump... Somebody asked Trump about it Oh, oh! Is this about the picture? Yeah Somebody asked Trump about being the Pope on the White House lawn. He says, yeah I think... Who do you think's gonna be the pope? Would you like to be the pope? Yeah i think ill be the pope! He just casually said it as a joke so somebody either photoshopped they like to say its AI but at least more like Photoshop to me. Photoshopped Trump in a Pope outfit and then they posted it and then Trump

1:15:30 White House reposted it. Now, it's a big scandal on NPR and PBS. And critics are speaking out about an artificial intelligence generated image that President Trump posted last night to his social media platform. It shows him seated dressed as the Pope later who was reposted on the official White House account on X In a post of their own, the Catholic bishops of New York State said there is nothing clever or funny about this image Mr. President we just buried our beloved Pope Francis and the Cardinals are about to enter a solemn conclave to elect a new successor of St Peter do not mock us! Oh that's a tough one so I got a lot of emails about this because i am the resident religiosity scholar all of a sudden and from Finland

1:16:21 our producer, Sir Wonderhelm who was overboard and he came back and he sends me this. He says what is this? This is not okay! Is this supposed to be funny?! And I said you know we are strange in America but yeah this is American humor and it's...and you don't have to get it It IS funny You don't have to get it its American humor But then I also got ones like this Let's see, what is it here? You know this has to do with the Knights Templar and the Jesuits and Catholic infestation. The black Pope runs...

1:17:00 Yes, it's just a joke I mean timing may be a little a little but don't even care about the timing But people got so bent out of shape about it. It was mark void zero didn't say oh I'm outraged about this if voice zero said something they would say okay well maybe yeah he didn't say anything and And he's a Catholic's Catholic. He is the traditionalist, he is like the old... He is like the guys at FBI we investigated. Who says they aren't? Maybe they are but you can never find his house! But the point is that it's like no give me a break this is classic Trump does one thing and there's another thing he had to actually come out say not running in 2028 on one of the morning shows this morning

1:17:52 People are so upset about him saying he's gonna run for 2028. Yeah, he never said it by the way He has never said he's got a hat There's a hat and they had his funny and there was Bannon is have been pushing it weren't anything I should go still Go back and get those clips of Bannon on we need one of those hats is what we need. I mean those are collectibles Now that you mention it. Yeah, it's a collectible baby! And I have usually my...I'm used to look out for such things? Yes Well I'm sure some of our producers out there You know the thing is that one of our producers can send us each one of those hats if they can find them But you know what I forgot too, I was very remiss because I hounded the Ohio State folks For all these sweatshirts which I ended up with a bunch of them

1:18:37 But I never hounded the Florida people because they won the basketball championship, which i had predicted by the way way in advance that they would. Yeah you should have done it on the show did you? And I should've gotten... yeah I did on Horowitz's and I should have gotten a like a zippered hoodie with that says Florida! I don't have any Florida gear at all And I think having a floor, especially in California having a Florida hoodie or sweatshirt is nice too. That's good! Pretty cool. I want to stay with the Pope for a second because first they got this note... I just had to get that in. They're gonna send it to you don't worry you'll get it. I'm hoping So first it was Gateway Pundit and like okay headline Francis Macron reportedly meddling in the choosing of the next pope is terrified that conservative Robert Sarra may sit on St Peter's throne

1:19:28 Really? Yeah, and I'm like eh okay but then an article came through from Euronews. Is Francis Emmanuel Macron trying to influence who gets picked as the next Pope? And apparently he is. The Italian press is like, hey what are you doing?! He had a meeting at the French Embassy in Rome... You know he's talking to bishops Are they in the conclave yet I think they're doing the meetings now. I think it's just starting. It's cardinals not bishops What did I say? Bishops Yeah, oh cardinals. Preparations for next week's papal conclave are underway as Cardinals gather for prayer and reflection at the Vatican nearly all 133 voting Cardinals have arrived in Rome ahead of Wednesday's vote 10 of the Cardinals are American 108 were appointed by Pope Francis himself and inside the chapel they'll vote up to four times a day until a two-thirds majority is reached The ceremonial chimney was installed yesterday where voting ballots will be burned

1:20:28 What the church needs most at this time is to continue the mission that it received from Christ in response to the challenges and the needs, the difficulties and opportunities of our time namely from now on. And some things to watch for when those voting ballots are burned if you see black smoke that signals no decision was made and if the white... the smoke is white that will announce the selection of a new Pope So yeah, the story on Euronews is similar saying he's afraid that we're gonna get a Pope who doesn't like trans stuff. He doesn't like men marrying men? Yeah, he's got a problem with that. That looks like women! Not even a prerequisite actually

1:21:16 Boy, you're right. In Macron's case it is not a prerequisite because his wife doesn't look like a woman He's married to a dude It looks more like a guy And in Italy they've got psyops all over the place including a game for the kids An online game by the name Fanta Papa has been created to predict who will be the next pop. The app has 11 cardinals who are poised to become the next leader And by the way, my guy not one of the 11 in the game. Users have the ability to predict who will partake in the next pointy froll The site which was created in February when Francis was hospitalized has more than 60 thousand registered users

1:22:04 I believe this game is a really fun game to play with friends and have a laugh. Initially my dad sent it to me, ironically but now that it's going to be the Conclave I decided to have a go and try it And I noticed that has so many features and different things you can choose So... I decided to What kind of a game is this? It's like closer to the pin. No, no it's like football teams! I decided to put Tagli as my captain and main candidate because he looks like a nice guy and fun person so... He's a fun guy The users have the ability to select their team just like soccer They think they have the best chance to become the next Pope This app has attracted thousands of youths

1:22:54 You choose the top contenders or captain so far players top choices have been Francis Secretary of State Italian Cardinal Pietro Perolin closely followed by Matteo Maria Zubi, Archbishop of Bologna Yeah, my guy's not in there. He's not in the game. Your guys is the best idea by the way but I had to go back and just reflect on this Trump dresses as the Pope and the left being outraged by it especially PBS can all bent out of shape The gay community dresses as nuns

1:23:30 Constantly, men dresses nuns and they go around ridiculing the Catholic Church constantly. And nobody says crap about it! That is a very good point. I think you're spot-on that's right It's Story Hour with Drag Queen Story Hour in Nuns Outfits You're right Yeah? You are spot on as usual I'm glad you went back.

1:24:21 the call to prayer in Manhattan. Amplify. Oh, amplify. ...confusion about which communities are allowed to amplify their calls... Amplify! ...to prayer today we are cutting red tape and saying clearly if you are a mosque or house of worship of any kind you do not have to apply for permit to amplify your call to Friday prayer Yeah I've seen videos of these guys walking down the street with a big boom box and a wireless mic

1:25:14 Well, let me... I have some thoughts on this. Couple? Okay yeah go One if you've been in the Middle East at all i've been a couple times uh the call for prayer thing is not on Fridays It's six times a day all the time. And it's actually quite pleasant if you're, you know, a tourist because it's like... If you don't live next to it! You're not living there because there is something romantic about it and especially when you have some of these Muslim preachers whether they are Kamulas

1:25:52 who can sing and they can sing in Arabic, and it's very... It is just a great sound but very few people can do it well. But it's all the time and then they have amplifiers and it's very loud. And this contradicts something that I was given a lecture to, I think it was Dubai at the time by a British guy who said that Muslims especially as Middle East Muslims we're not talking about the ones of Indonesia which I never heard this going on there They have this big thing about, oh you can't do this. You can't do anything that's pre-Muhammad if it's not in the Quran so words for computer have to be manufactured they can't be...that has to made out of words everything has to be old fashioned but yet they can use amplifiers and they got these huge speakers and a giant 10 thousand watt amps that's okay? How does that work

1:26:45 Some Muslim can explain that one to me. When I was in Iraq, or as some would say, Iraq and I hope I have this...I'd have to dig deep into the archives That was 2003. I acquired an alarm clock And I think it came out of...I think it was made from Pakistan Plastic alarm clock and six times a day this clock would do the call-to-prayer Gosh, I hope I have that somewhere still. Well that's a great item! Yeah it was one of those things you pick up on your travels.

1:27:28 It's a show that's really unique. Donate to No Agenda, listen to John and Adam speak. Donate to No Agenda, science is turning into a clique! So let's amplify that in New York for the Church of No Agenda I'm all for it Well, the people in Amsterdam and Rotterdam are not happy because this has also allowed this amplification of call to prayer. And it's not the culture of the Netherlands or wasn't I think it probably is becoming that and people are annoyed by it

1:28:08 Just like they're annoyed by incessant church bells, I might point out. Yeah there was a lot of complaining about church bells in some areas most the time when there's churches around it's only been on a Sunday and they'll ring the bells and University California has the campanile and they used to play songs at noon various tunes I think they stopped even doing that. I don't know if they do it anymore, but there was a... They had enough bells up there they could play various recognizable songs. Like what? What recognizable song? Well jingle bells would be during their winter time they can play that easy Did they? Yeah!

1:28:56 Ding, ding, ding. I see you have a series and want to lead you into it with two very short clips we start off with breaking news A major scare everybody be afraid Be afraid It's very dangerous Breaking News Tonight from Chicago health officials are warning travelers about possible measles exposure at Chicago's O'Hare Airport They say an infected adult was in Terminal 1 From 10am until 8pm on Tuesday And then again on Wednesday of last week That person who lives in Cook County testing positive for measles Oh no! This is crazy. This is crazy Oh, important medical information. He was in the airport on Sunday and then again Wednesday. Let's get track him down and shoot him! Shoot him yes shoot him! Now to alarming health news. The CDC reports that 216 children have died from the flu in the US this season. The highest number in 15 years experts link the increase to falling vaccination rates among kids down from 64% five years ago to 49 percent this season

1:28:08 Just like they're annoyed by incessant church bells, I might point out. Yeah there was a lot of complaining about church bells in some areas most the time when there's churches around it's only been on a Sunday and they'll ring the bells and University California has the campanile and they used to play songs at noon various tunes I think they stopped even doing that. I don't know if they do it anymore, but there was a... They had enough bells up there they could play various recognizable songs. Like what? What recognizable song?

1:28:56 Ding, ding, ding.

Now to alarming health news. The CDC reports that 216 children have died from the flu in the US this season. The highest number in 15 years experts link the increase to falling vaccination rates among kids down from 64% five years ago to 49 percent this season

1:29:59 And with flu season still ongoing that number could climb 60,000 people a year die from flu. Yeah, that's what they say Thousand numbers questionable but so since you brought that up I do have a series of clips from PBS about the flu vaccine and how important it is and I want you to guess who the guests are gonna have they're gonna talk to on this on PBS the you know, this fabulous product that the government helps pay for. What stooge... I hate to use the word what stooge bullshit artists are guys the worst of the worst do you think they're going to bring on to talk about vaccinations? Well i have a couple of candidates

1:30:46 Without a doubt, I would put HOTEP at the top of the list. Boom! There were 12 seasonal flu-related deaths of children this week according to CDC that brings the total number of pediatric flu deaths this season to 216 That's the most in 15 years and the flu season isn't even over yet Oh...I'm detecting a pattern here The big pharma complex has injected into our news, into our independent newsrooms. Experts say one reason for this new record could be the plummeting flu vaccination rate for American children. It went from 64% five years ago to 49% this season and this week... Wait a minute was that the same amount they said on the other clip?

1:31:31 I remember having a specific moment. Now to alarming health news, the CDC reports that 216 children have died from the flu in the US this season. The highest number in 15 years experts link the increase to falling vaccination rates among kids down from 64 percent five years ago to 49% this season. Yeah, same number. And there were 12 seasonal flu-related deaths of children this week according to the CDC that brings the total number of pediatric flu deaths this season to 216. Yeah and the memo went out...the same numbers That's the most in 15 years Exactly! The same report It's almost the same guy ...years and the flu season isn't even over yet

1:32:15 Experts say one reason for this new record could be the plummeting flu vaccination rate for American children. Who are the experts? It went from 64% five years ago to 49 percent this season and this week Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr announced plans for new safety testing requirements for vaccines that could delay the availability of new vaccines including a COVID booster for this fall virologist Dr. Peter Hotez at the Baylor College of Medicine Dr. Hotez, there's a lot I want to talk to you about This guy needs to be tarred and feathered and run out of Texas Let's start with that new record for pediatric flu deaths this season What do you make of that? Well, I think it probably is related to the decline in immunizations Probably Most pediatric influenza deaths occur among the unvaccinated like most of the other viral infections That we've been seeing But remember The context of this This is on top of

1:33:15 four-fold rise in measles outbreaks over the last year, even before what was going on with this current major epidemic. A six fold rise in pertussis cases. Yeah, so he goes... yeah. So everything is because of vaccination of course this guy who they mentioned well play the second you play it play on The big picture is we're going in the wrong direction in terms of children not getting the vaccines that they should be getting Is this a holdover from the vaccination hesitancy that emerged during the COVID pandemic?

1:33:50 It very well might be. There's been some Gallup surveys and others that have shown that spillover effect, that the same parts of the country where adults were refusing to get COVID vaccines are now spilling over to childhood immunizations. So for instance in West Texas which had some of the lowest COVID vaccination rates in the country guess what? That's where we have our ginormous, ginormous, ginormous measles epidemic right now in West Texas and it's going up into the conservative rural areas of the Great Plains where COVID vaccinations were also low. So I think the big picture is there is that spillover effect from anti-vaccine activism that accelerated during COVID now into childhood immunizations. Oh yes, oh yes ginormous! It's bigger than gigantic or enormous...it's ginormous That's a very scientific term I understand

1:34:47 ginormous is what the left uses and that was popularized, the term was mostly popularized by Rachel Maddow. Oh you're right she loved saying ginormous you're right. I know you've developed vaccines yourself What do you make of what Secretary Kennedy said, that he wants to see new vaccines tested with placebos? What do you think about that? This has been his playbook the last few weeks. Every few days he comes out with a new statement that misrepresents vaccine safety or effectiveness for instance, you know, he made it almost sound as if we don't routinely test

1:35:26 vaccines against placebo control. In fact, just about all of the childhood immunizations historically have been tested against placebo controls typically in randomized studies so I don't really understand the basis of the new announcement Other than the fact that, you know when we do a randomized placebo-controlled trial for something like a COVID vaccine. We do it at the first time around but as we're updating because you're making minor adjustments in the composition of the vaccine to reflect new variants, we don't typically repeat the entire placebo

1:36:02 randomized controlled trial because they're incredibly expensive and sometimes they're not doable given the size of what they are in, and time it would take. So I hope he's not suggesting that we have to do an entirely new randomized placebo-controlled trial every time we update a vaccine." Wow! What a scathing admission that is I know, but we can't... We're tweaking it. We're just tweaking it! What does that even mean? You know what, just doing a little dance or tweaking a little bit you know It's like just tightening the bolts on this and some DNA yeah Yeah, yeah Just add some frags. Just adding some bits and bobs baby. We don't have to test that That's safe and effective They have to get liability back into the picture

1:36:52 There's no, there is no liability. You could be shooting people with dog poop it's no liability you can't sue them what good is it? What, how is this protecting the consumer? Is that the last clip or things? No! You have one more I'm delighted to say as more hotep all of the time. Is the effect of this to undermine confidence in vaccines do you think? Oh yeah, leading the witness. By the way this is not scripted at all! Or leading the witness? Is the effect of this to undermine confidence in vaccines do you think? Well this is the bigger picture remember what RFK Jr has been saying every few days first he said

1:37:33 the MMR vaccine was leaky, whatever that means. And when he talks about suggesting people get the MMR vaccine, he always pairs it or often pairs it with a cocktail of useless interventions for preventing measles. Or he says that the measles hospitalizations are due to quarantine and isolation, which is not true. These kids are really really sick now is the time the Department of Health and Human Services needs to be doubling down." Hold on a second he says something kind of odd here yeah you noticed it too didn't ya? Yeah so he's called like was like moving the Overton window whatever it is so Kennedy says

1:38:15 This is because people are quarantined and they're not getting measles anymore. And then he says, no these kids are sick like non sequitur yes quarantine in isolation which is not true these kids are really really sick now's the time the Department of Health and Human Services needs to be doubling down on telling the American people to vaccinate their kids and highlighting the emphasizing the safety and effectiveness of vaccines not tearing it down so I do think It's starting to have a very damaging effect. Dr Peter Hotez, thanks as always! As always you're on all the time we're bringing you back every chance we can because we paid money to do it yeah and on top of the government funding is pretty pathetic it's pretty pathetic Yeah come on Bobby where's the Rico case? Where's the stopping of advertising

1:39:08 Talk is cheap, Bobby. Come on now! I mean...I'll give him another hundred days. I think the next 100 days of the Trump administration they're gonna ramp it up. They're gonna ramp everything up so much Well they are going to have too because people are demanding it. I don't know what they will do about the Epstein thing because I believe now that doesn't exist and has been destroyed The Diddy stuff, I don't know. He's going to trial this week or coming...this coming week? Tonight Sean Combs makes it official- Hold on! It was perfect timing! Oh it was! Do it again and we'll edit it out. Diddy is going to trial any minute! Tonight Sean Combs makes it official he's rejecting the government's offer to plead guilty and spare himself the possibility of a prolonged term in prison When asked if he'd turn down the offer, Combs answered yes I do your honor

1:39:56 as he stood in a baggy beige jail uniform. Terms were not disclosed, but prosecutors did say that the plea could result in a shorter sentence for Combs than if he's convicted. The decision guarantees Combs will face trial beginning just four days from now that will test whether one of music's most prolific figures used his power wealth and fame to sexually exploit both women and men for decades Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution charges that accused him of coercing alleged victims into prolonged drug-fueled sexual activity that he called freak offs and threatening them into silence. At trial combs will ditch the jail garb and wear ordinary clothes as his lawyers argue the evidence shows consenting adults being intimate in their own way

1:40:42 Everybody's consenting in their own way. Yeah, I'm not... Passed out! I thought his way was being passed out so that's what they did at some point So no Epstein but we got Diddy get the black man and well the black that's also you know the thing he wanted to wants to go to trial because somebody at least somebody in this King camp knows You go to trial that means discovery. And discovery means some names are going to come out that don't want their names come out and maybe they can do a deal or something, or kill him!

1:42:19 Seems kind of odd. It is odd. I have... what's the time? Yeah, we can do this. I have three clips from the guy like most when it comes to EU UK Ukraine and NATO Andrew Rassoulis He's the former military dude from Candanavia, about the minerals deal that we signed with Ukraine which we've heard very little about. Have you have you heard much about that in the US media besides that something happened? Yeah! Do you know... We had a bunch of clips in our last show about it. But he just says we have a deal but do you know what the terms of the deals are? You don't anything about it? No! We didn't get any of that from our clips or do you know

1:43:07 I thought in terms of the deal that we just had to spend a lot of money, give them more money. We're going to speak with Andrew Rasoulis yet again he is defense and Eastern European affairs expert with the Canadian Global Affairs Institute. Andrew thank you for joining us again appreciate your time You're very welcome Shane Okay so this deal uh...we know this has been touted as key to Ukraine's fortunes here Zelensky saying he's hopeful this guarantees continued support from the Americans So this was absolutely essential right? Well, it's an important building block. It is a building block but it's not a keystone as the way I describe to peace settlement and we have to remember that the agreement that was signed now is reasonably watered down agreement Now they are the key element of the first agreement that Ukraine proposed was basically United States in return for having access to these minerals revenues and so on

1:43:58 would provide solid military guarantees to Ukraine in the event of a peace settlement with Russia. The Americans countered that with saying no way for security thing and by the way we want all this money back from Ukraine to repay loans or the It's an option. And for the Ukrainians, there is no obligation to repay debt so-called for American assistance rather the profits here both American and Ukrainian will be primarily directed at the reconstruction of Ukraine So that kind of it's a bit of a win-win but it's not that huge thing that was supposed to be the security guarantee in event of a peace settlement That's not there Okay, so the way I see this

1:44:59 If we make any money off of those minerals, if you got them then maybe we'll provide you some security if it's any good and all any profits will go and build stuff in your country which were going to profit off. Sounds like a good deal for us! But except for the fact we can't get to the minerals, there's no real mining going on and it is possible that there are no minerals at all in their full of crap those guys. The Ukrainians are criminals! No offense to the Ukrainian listeners that we have but they have a lot of shysters there let's put it that way Is this, does this mean there's a possibility of

1:45:54 Well, they continue. I'm not going to say diminish because that's every day it's a little different. I would say to you objectively that talks are continuing and like we're a lot of what's going on now We don't hear about because it's behind the scenes as it should be And so there's a lot of I think looking for the deals That are in court being quarters The Americans are talking to basically everybody and trying to broker something but they're also expecting the Depending on the terms both sides at some point get exhausted by this, but it's always it's the question of the deal You get exhausted. But for what? Benefit what carrot is out there for you to actually make a compromise and that's where things are right now You know may 9th looms out there That's victory in Europe day the Russians would love to have a peace settlement then with Ukrainians agree with what the Russians want with the Russians agreed

1:47:09 I don't know, Shay. But that's the next target date we'll see what happens. But there is some change as to the final clip water What does Russia is thinking about all this? Why have we heard from Russia like I say so let's keep talking about this deal being reached I mean rushes not involved in the deal but it affects what have we heard from Russia lately about this whole situation Well on the deal the Russians have not commented any political way they simply the Putin has said that he's prepared to meet with Zelensky, even though he sees that Zelensky is not a legitimate elected ruler because the five-year mandate has expired. This is an important concession and same for the Ukrainians. Zelensky said he's prepared to meet with the Russians or with Putin because even though there's a Ukrainian law says you can't negotiate with the Russians but he said that's an exception okay? And Rubio is saying at some point the Russians are

1:48:17 and the Ukrainians are going to have to sit down and make a final deal. And that's the point, you see? So the fact that we've heard noises from Zelensky and Putin suggesting that doors open to sit down at a table one day means they acknowledge this fact. I think Americans are hedging them to this. When will it happen? I don't know but eventually i believe it will Okay. I like that, by the way where's that come from? That is from Edmonton Radio that's why it sounds so crappy. That was quite good! Thank you. I like Rassoulos, I like this guy Yeah, he's definitely in the know. He is one of those ex-military guys... You can tell! The way people do a presentation whether they know what they're talking about or not So then we don't get that kind of information here In my opinion At least I'm not finding it In your opinion? It's a fact! I am not finding it Before we take a break should we do it you only have one I see That's still disappointing but

1:49:16 Well, actually I have a pre-break clip but i think it might be better for the second break which is the Victor David Hanson clip on the Democrat Dilemma. Oh okay But you what but well I think that's a good clip to lead into the second break and you'll see why when when you play the clip Okay...but let's for the clip your point is Yeah, everybody's favorite moment This was the worst I could not find any good tick-tock clips there were a lot of good ones that were visually interesting from distressed Weirdos but they didn't have the audio. I wanted and so this is the best I could do This is the only tick tock clip by half for today show disappointing only one

1:50:05 And it's short. Yeah, all right well we'll take what we can get how can anyone with a functioning brain cell still say that Donald Trump was the correct choice for president after these first 100 days? I just watched Kamala Harris' speech tonight and it is very very evident that it just should have been her she should be the President of The United States right now and not Donald Trump Did you see that speech by Harris? She was drunk! The speech was the worst. She just babbled on about meaningless crap, including the elephant stuff. I happened to have... what do i have? Um.. I have 30 seconds of it if you want Yeah play some of it

1:50:49 In fact, please allow me friends to digress for a moment. Okay? Okay. It's kind of dark in here but I'm asking for show of hands who saw that video from a couple weeks ago the one of the elephants at the San Diego Zoo during the earthquake Google it if you've not seen it Scene has been on my mind everybody's asking what you've been thinking about these days well Brother Yeah, she should be president. She's so these tick tock people you know I keep telling you that they're just engagement farming and they just want to get clicks and likes and people are pushing back on me about that like no, no You have to understand these people are real These people at my job these people or at my school? These people in my community I'm I'll take the side of the pushbackers

1:51:50 I agree with them. And well, and I'm actually sad about that. I mean these people are like clouds without water... There are very few moments in our relationship and the relationship with you in the audience that you're an optimist. Very seldom does this happen. Yeah well You used to wear rose-colored glasses when I first met you. I remember that That's correct But the uh.. Correct But generally speaking you have kind of a dim attitude or negative attitude. But in this case, you have an extremely positive attitude thinking that everyone's a phony and life is good. These people are legitimately nuts! They're insane individuals that are pathetic

1:52:34 And there's no other way of putting it. But that makes me feel sad! I know, you don't like the idea They are clouds without water they're autumn trees...they're autumn trees without fruit in fact John they are wandering stars for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever No, they ARE the fruit With that i want to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you The man who put the C in the chemtrail fanatic Say hello to my friend on the other end The one and only Mr. John C DeVore Wow, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Crane and Morriship see boots on the ground feeding the air subs in the water of the dames and the knights out there In the morning to the trolls in the troll room I encourage ya stop moving! Stop moving here we go! Okay... that's getting better 2403 peak trollage? That's not bad, I'll take that

1:53:25 They are hanging out at trollroom.io which is where you can go to join the trolls who are very handy I mean, I have the troll room open and out of the corner my eye in my peripheral vision I see what you're saying, I get one-liners, I get jokes, I get ideas all kind... criticisms, trolling, trolls lots of trolls But I like it. We in fact have a studio audience where we do flash the applause sign, but you don't hear them It's a beautiful system we've devised You can also enjoy this on a modern podcast app by going to podcastapps.com And you will even get alerted when the shows go live and there are many shows You know doing a big live show next Saturday on the no agenda stream with Boo Bury and who? Yeah, they're the No Agenda Stream people

1:54:13 They do these live music shows. It's really good! Is that right? Oh yeah, they do it all the time. Hello... Do you ever listen?! Saturday, it's gonna be Saturday. I think six o'clock is when it starts. I'm usually doing clips on Saturdays Well you can keep it on the background so you'll get an alert when that kicks off and of course we have all kinds of extra cool bits We've got transcripts, we've got chapters with chapter art to changes All these modern podcast apps observe that and change your way driving So you're entertained Keep your eyes on the road though And that art comes from people who support the show, our producers who support us. With time and talent we have three versions of support because all we want... We give you the show as a service just like PBS only! You're not required to spend your tax dollars on us. You can spend your tax return that's a good idea yes. Anywhere there is an internet connection you can get this show it's there's no desert yeah There is no desert and were available on Starlink I hear so yep

1:55:15 Yes. Time, talent treasure these are the three ways that you can support us and noagendaartgenerator.com is where you can upload your art if you want to participate it's also we can just follow along during the live show or if you prefer You can go back after the fact a lot of these images show up in our In our chapter art thank you very much Dreb Scott and Was a contentious pick It wasn't easy, the last show. There were a lot of different things nothing really stood out where we say yeah that's the one but Darren O'Neill just it was still laugh is very inside this piece of art because you are famous of course as an author of many bestseller books and that was the piece that was missing

1:56:10 It did not have the star emblem sticker little sticker little sticker that says instant bestseller This was the blackmail for fun and profit book. What's that in your mouth by John C? I still laugh when I see it And expertly done through the AI by Darren O'Neill I think there were some other pieces because at a certain point you said ah, you chose I don't like any of it I liked the maple syrup on fire. Yeah, but that was a Molotov cocktail. Which Darren also did Well what we really discussed were the Cobalt T-shirts So we for a long time... Yes, we did We talked about the cobalt knucklehead

1:56:55 I personally liked the cobalt is for schmucks. Yeah, but you violated your main rule. It's too small... was too small You liked the masterminds unclipable wench? But i thought that was to very... You also liked the boobs Of course there was a boobage there from Scaramanga The Booba Bon with the girl riding the bike on the pedal bike on the Autobahn You even said, oh how about the Ferrari in a country road? I mean none of that was right. We were just grasping at straws and... You make it sound like it was a maniac! A little bit and then we even discussed making Cobol for Schmucks the title and then went you know that's not a good idea No. I got a lot of feedback on the Cobol as expected Let me see where is my Cobol yes

1:57:55 So two things, one from John Daly says Yeah, it seems obvious John's never seen COBOL. The features of COBOL are straightforward yes however when you start talking about 5 million lines of production COBOL it's a nightmare the features of the language are limited which also makes it more difficult to do common and important things which creates a bloat so real world COBOL applications are not as cool as Java For instance, who thinks Java is cool? Which has features to create a kind of language of structure that allows quick interpretation learning and modification. Bad variable naming poor algorithms kludges hacks bad managerial input all create bad unmaintainable code in any language COBOL is not simple in any real world application so huh

1:58:48 He showed you then. Yeah, he saw me is really accurate to since I when I had a company called California software actually sold cobalt and they will postgraduate school cobalt. Well you can sell the couple copies inside encoding it was beside that I did oh I've never been huh? He says I didn't do the way he put it. He's like I was oblivious to the whole thing I used to sell the product. That's the way I see it as far as i'm concerned that gives me some credibility Okay, and then he says java and he uses java as example. That's where not javascript which is not even really a language That's where his argument fell apart I agree but then um interestingly very good article in uh dev dot two

1:59:35 which is a nerd website, about the dates. About May 20 1875? Yes I think... did i send you that or no? No, I sent it to you Oh somebody sent it to me and I sent it to you? Yeah yeah that turns out that's a big hoax Yeah, it's a hoax. And that... It was an excellent article I think I posted on Twitter if anyone follows my twitter account the real Dvorak you'll find a link to it yeah so I put in the show notes so that really truly was a hack perpetuated by NPR and that bogus lady on the last show yep because she acted like she knew exactly what she is talking about and this is a hoax there's a very detailed article about this hoax so just not true

2:00:19 It's not true that... That was a fantastic article. It was a great article, yes. Anyway thank you very much Darren O'Neill well deserved I mean deserve let's put it that way its AI so okay. Darren definitely has that down he and Scaramanga should start a company together. AI art but I'm just saying it'd be a great idea So we have a lot of good AIA people We do Yes Actually those two are amongst the top There is no doubt about that So that's the time and talent portion of the value we like to receive back. We always thank everybody who supports us financially, $50 and over on every single show And at this point we'd like to thank our executive and associate executive producers If you support us with two hundred dollars or more You get the title of Associate Executive Producer That can be used anywhere that these Hollywood style credits are accepted

2:13:31 So, as we were talking earlier it's obvious that the machine which is mainly media and all the money that comes in from pharmaceuticals and big food and everybody they're gonna start really hitting hard at Trump. I think we're gonna see a hundred days of craziness And I think you're yeah, they have to yes. We're starting to see the beginning of it with Hotez Yeah Well there's also and I always thought this was a mistake on the president's part But now they're going after World Liberty Financial World Liberty Financial both ABC and CBS did big pieces on them because this is clear corruption

2:14:31 When Donald Trump was campaigning for re-election, he was also campaigning for cryptocurrency. Big news! The World Liberty Financial token sale is now live. Crypto is the future. World Liberty Financial is a digital currency platform that says it's inspired by President Trump but it's more than inspired A company affiliated with the Trump family owns 60% stake We believe that His crypto assets are as much as $2.9 billion. Virginia Cantor has overseen ethics rules as a senior government lawyer in both Democratic and Republican administrations. President Trump has sold steaks, he's sold gold sneakers, Bibles... How is this any different? At least those had some intrinsic value This is like the perfect vehicle to funnel money to him and his family to enrich them

2:15:29 So, World Liberty Financial and I haven't done a deep dive on them. But what it appears... And there's two different things. There is the meme coin and then this World Liberty Financial. I don't even know if the two are connected. The meme coin is just dumb that was the mistake he never should have done him in Melania meme coin. I don't know if you wasn't even involved in it but that was annoying But this World Liberty Financial, it will be a lending as I understand that you'll be able to borrow money at very competitive rates and you'll have different types of collateral which could be Bitcoin stable coin who knows what dogecoin who knows what it is.

2:16:17 I'll dive into that deeper, but this is the attack vector on the president. And honestly, I think it's rightly so this was a huge dumb move world liberty says it's raised more than 550 million dollars and this week in announced received a new to is yours. Congratulations, thank you very much indeed. And then eating a $6.2 million banana duct taped to wall. Back in 2023 President Biden's SEC charged Sun with securities fraud after Trump's re-election Sun announced a 75 million dollar investment in World Liberty Financial

2:17:13 And just five weeks later, federal prosecutors asked a judge to pause the Sun investigation citing public interest. A CBS News analysis shows that the government has dropped a dozen cases against crypto firms since January. Sun is one of more than 85,000 investors in World Liberty so far. Most are unnamed and unknown. Unnamed, unknown... They're funneling money to the president for all kinds of favors although what they don't really mention here is that these were really dumb bogus lawsuits And the rules change, so that's why the lawsuits were dropped. Here is the final clip from CBS. We've got the president of United States' firstborn Donald Trump Jr.. At a crypto industry conference in Washington in March The founders of World Liberty Financial promoted the company along with the President's son I'm just super excited about what this can mean This guy is an attack vector For the future of banking for the future of financial systems Hold on stop

2:18:19 Back it up and start him again, and start to think who does he sound like? He sounds like Zuckerberg. Ooh! For the future of banking for the fu- Wait let me back them up a little more. Future of the finance- There we go I'm just super excited about what this can mean. Completely! He's hanging out in Silicon Valley too much, he's in the milieu... There is something going on with the milieu because that has a very distinctive sound. Completely agree. I am just super excited about what this can mean for the future of banking and for the future of financial systems. CBS News tried to approach the World Liberty team but they have declined our multiple requests for an interview

2:19:02 World Liberty did not respond to questions about the potential profits for the Trump family. statement. They said the Abu Dhabi company's investment sets a historic precedent, the SEC Justin Sun and the Trump organization did not respond to our questions and The White House said report on something people actually care about. So ABC had pretty much the same report and I'll only play the clip that was relevant by the way Elizabeth Warren is heading up a lot of this you know Elizabeth Warren she I think probably represents old school banks, maybe City of London. I don't know she's not just outraged because she is outraged but she has big financial backers Liz is in all kinds of stuff and we saw that over the

2:19:51 over-the-counter hearing aids and all. If anyone is quote unquote corrupt, I'd pin that on her but here's the kicker from ABC. The White House telling ABC News in a statement in part President Trump's assets are in a trust managed by his children and there are no conflicts of interest President Trump campaigned on being a champion for the crypto community and he has taken significant steps to do that. World Liberty Financial has also announced plans to launch a stable coin, a cryptocurrency pegged in the US dollar The company is reportedly sold two billion dollars worth with a Trump family entity receiving a 75% cut of every sale And at the same time, Trump's White House pushed for new policies that directly impact stable coins

2:20:35 I've also called on Congress to pass landmark legislation creating simple, common sense rules for stable coins. If Congress does what Trump wants it could help further legitimize cryptocurrency and he says expand the dominance of the US dollar just this week at a conference in Dubai attended by Eric Trump World Liberty Financial announced a two billion dollar investment from the United Arab Emirates to use the company's stable coin Binance and the foreign investment firm are going to use Donald Trump's stablecoin to finance their transaction. Essentially giving Trump a cut of that two billion dollar deal. Boy, looks like corruption smells like corruption. Stablecoin baby it's the future! It's coming...it's coming Then there is the exit strategy

2:21:28 the president Trump set up for himself. Stable point exit... Well, if it was all in a blind trust he didn't set up anything! It's Donald Jr doing all the hard liftings You mean Donald Zuckerberg? Junior? Donald Zuckerberg And and for Elizabeth Warren you know to jump in oh looks and smells like corruption okay Where'd her wealth come from out of the blue Yeah magic magic Well, I question the Trump make 75%. Oh no. That's not how does that even work? It wouldn't make any sense whatsoever Idiotic but maybe what was probably there's probably something I would guess that there would be a percentage of some transaction fee of 0.75 as somebody saw point seven five is seventy-five percent Yeah

2:22:18 No, I'm with you. That's bullcrap but so that's just poor reporting But it's a beautiful system You buy treasuries you get your 4% and then you make stable coin and you get a transaction fee on top of it It's what are we doing this podcast for? We should be buying Treasuries making stable coins Which involved in some Dutch coin or some sort some years back Oh yeah, that was a shitcoin that that um, you know what I got lucky I, God protected me. That was just one of those you know ICO scams Was it a scam? Well i mean it was an initial coin offering which people like Snoop Dogg and Kim Kardashian they've had to pay millions of dollars in fines Yeah! You could have... It could have happened to you Yes yes Why didn't it Because

2:23:09 Because those guys couldn't get their crap together and they didn't figure it out in time. You couldn't get the scam off the ground? You saved your bacon?! Yes, big-time! I'm thankful! Thank you Jesus, you saved me yes! It would have been a nightmare because that was Kim Kardashian of this coin... There's an ISO for ya Kim Kardashian without the big butt or the money. Let's go to TDS, a big thing on Trinidad and Tobago I think they got there I think they're onto something here okay it's not a big deal but it's big enough deal that you can make some inroads and go after Trump with this is the PBS report

2:23:55 on TDA, the guys they've locked up. In March in order to speedily deport 238 Venezuelan men under an 18th century law President Trump declared- Under 18th century law? Unlike our 18th century constitution which you always tout your first amendment With 38 Venezuelan men under an 18th century law President Trump declared many of them to be alien enemies He claimed there were members of a transnational criminal organization called Trinidad, which he said was conducting irregular warfare and undertaking hostile actions against the United States. But A New York Times investigation couldn't find any evidence linking many of the men to that gang. Ali Rogan spoke with Julie Turkowicz, The Times Andy's bureau chief based in Bogota Colombia and the lead reporter on that investigation

2:24:49 Thank you so much for joining us. In your investigation, for how many of these 238 men did you find connections to Tren del Agua? And how did you go about making those determinations? We spent a couple of weeks doing record searches in the US, in Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Chile, Colombia. And what we found is that of the 238 individuals sent on March 15th to a prison in El Salvador 32 of them appear to have some kind of serious criminal record. An even smaller number, just a handful appeared to have some possible connection to this gang Tren de Aragua and this is reporting to the best of our abilities barring any real information from the Trump administration

2:25:47 Interesting. First of all, if you're in the country legally you're a criminal I was hearing on NPR the other day that they are using Palantir to find these people which by itself is concerning because yeah they probably screw it up because it's AI let's use Palantir Well, you have to assume there's a screw-up somehow and that's what they're trying to track down. And I think they got one but it's like this dubious nature of this reporting which is well we... These are undocumented coming in! Does Venezuela have a laundry list? And they could go right up to them hey Maduro can you give us the list of the Trenta Aguilar guys so we can check their names against the names we have yeah This is bullcrap

2:26:41 But okay, but let's assume that they spent a whole two weeks. I mean it'd take you two weeks to get down there and find the right person to talk to. Okay, let's go on." You also reported on how the administration has been making these determinations what criteria they're using tell us about that? Some of the documents have come out in court filings in recent weeks indicate that the Trump administration is using a rubric to essentially grade individuals who law enforcement believes might be Trenderagua. When the person gets to eight whole points, they become a quote validated member of Trenderagua and thus are... It's a meritocracy baby! It's a merit-based system. Eight points you're out

2:27:31 eligible to be deported under the Trump administration's qualifications as an alien enemy. And so four points, according to this rubric are given for someone who has suspicious tattoos of the Trump administration that law enforcement officials believe are connected to Frida Agua Another four points are given out for style of dress that law enforcement officials believe are Trinidad Agua and experts we spoke to said, hey like these specifications don't match with what we know about this group. The example being tattoos specifically obviously are worth sort of half the points that makes someone a quote validated member of Trinidad Agua but experts in Venezuela tell

2:28:21 my colleague in Venezuela, they know in fact this group doesn't use tattoos as a marker of membership. This term rubric is interesting because you said it's a checklist but that's not the definition of rubric? No but she's using it the way I understand it she's using it meaning checklist and I mean... But read us the definition then I have a comment about last clip Well the definition has nothing to do with with checklists, but there's a company called Rubrik and they do data analysis. Cloud data management so I was just wondering if maybe they're using the system rubric because... No. Why should you look up their word rubric? Okay, rubric definition here we go Do you want Merriam-Webster or The Collins? Merriam-Webster of course. An authoritative rule

2:29:23 title of a statute, that would be it or an explanatory or introductory commentary. She's really beats the checklist she just now she just likes saying Chile and Venezuela that's what she likes in rubric and rubric now if she mentions that did that the whole kind of commentary at this point drifts off into these tattoos. Yeah, and at not one point in this entire I think is a four-part clip do they mention that MS 13 at all? Ms13 was part of this whole thing it was it was TDS plus ms-13 that were getting shipped off TDS ms-13 as solely regarded as if you always have tattoos It's part of the scheme they

2:30:13 Right, but they won't even mention MS-13 in this entire report and they'll just go on and on about the tattoos not being part of the Trente de Agua. They cannot bring themselves to bring in the other aspect of this deportation which is the MS-13 half of it Are you telling me that this PBS report is slanted and perhaps untrue? I think it's slanted for sure and probably untrue in some sense. One of the deported men whose family you spoke to is Arturo Suarez Trejo, can you tell me about him and his family? He had been living in Chile and was making a living working actually installing refrigerators but his real passion was music

2:31:04 He meets his wife, another Venezuelan in Chile and she becomes pregnant. And he eventually decides you know what? I really want to make some more money for my family So i'm going to go have the kid in America so I can get my papers. And he heads north. He gets into the United States. Actually he left she stayed Oh, oh. He's he heads north though. And she becomes pregnant and he eventually decides you know what I really want to make some more money for my family and he heads north sounds like she's saying she She's saying he? It sounds like she Are you sure? As far as i can tell

2:31:41 Well, play it again. I thought it was he heads north because he's the one that was in the country not her. He meets his wife another Venezuelan in Chile and she becomes pregnant and she eventually decides you know what really want to make some more money for my family? And he heads north. She gets into the United States. She enters with this Biden-era application that allows people sort of appear at the border and ask for permission to enter He enters the country, is working in North Carolina and one day he's in North Carolina filming a music video when I shows up. He calls his wife in Chile and says you know honey I'm coming home and that is when he suddenly disappeared and his wife stopped hearing from him

2:32:29 Until she types into Google, Venezuelans deported. And she sees him in a video shaved, cuffed and bent over in this Salvadoran prison. Arturo Suarez is one of the individuals who does not appear to have a criminal record or a connection to Friend de Aragua. Other than that he came in illegally They make it sound like, oh come on. Well no he came in illegally but he used that stupid system they had Biden set up The app? The app! So he came in legally through the channels that they allowed him to come in legally and then he got railroaded and got shipped off supposedly although I don't know how she recognized him bent over with his head shaved but somehow she recognized which I think that's part of bogus reporting

2:33:22 And now it turns out he's in the jail, but there is no proof of this that I can tell. This story may be manufactured from scratch. You know the media has been flooded with stories like this you know poor guy separates from my favorite is a four-year old girl with cancer Deported her, you know more Trump. Yeah with the children deporting children story is bogus as hell because those kids were brought by their mom was deporting this she wanted to bring the kid what's the kids and they're suggesting leaving the kid in the United States because it's an American citizen

2:34:02 Okay, well the kid's always going to be an American citizen. She can come back whenever she feels like it when she is older maybe and live on her own... No, but you see it's wrong because President Trump should have immediately opened up Walter Reed or Mayo and put the kid in a cancer ward that's what he should be doing Because, you know Trump hates children. He just wants children with cancer to die that's your right in your assertion Five ten minutes ago about they're gonna this is gonna be amped up Yeah I don't know about these stories being even remotely accurate They're definitely slanted and whether there's guy even exists this guy who was whose wife was pregnant in Chile Why didn't she come with him and have the baby here? Which would be the smart money seems to me Yep

2:34:49 Especially since he went through the trouble and they didn't want to you know They don't much a single males coming in. They like the idea of a family, but you bring her it makes more sense The whole thing is very his passion was music John It's so and then then they throw the artsy angle and there is a refrigerator installer whose passion is music It's like a Dire Straits video Reference lost on you. I'm sorry. Yeah, it's money for nothing. Oh he's got it! He's got it yes All right, got it. You and your colleagues also reported on how Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele has wanted more proof that these deported men are actually members of Trinidad Agua. Where does that stand? And might that impact this arrangement where he's going to house him in this prison for one year? He says that is negotiable moving forward

2:35:47 As far as what's going to happen next for these men, it's really unclear. Nayib Bukele the president of El Salvador has said that this is at least a one-year term for these individuals And he has called that sentence renewable. And we have also seen the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christine Noem come out and say that she believes that these individuals should be in prison in El Salvador for the rest of their lives, That is being contested in court but that case is still pending. That decision by Judge Bozberg in Washington D.C., is still pending. Julie Turkowitz with The New York Times, thank you so much!

2:36:30 Thank you. Yeah, they're going to attack him on everything it's gonna be nonstop nonstop nonstop anything they can do you know we had a dinner Friday night and I was sitting next to sitting next to woman and I know her husband he wasn't there so where the where is your husband said he's in the Dominican Republic buying tobacco so what And she goes through this whole thing about, he's a cigar guy and he has... Yeah Dominican Republic makes decent cigar tobacco. Yeah and it's one third fermented and he's got this Cuban roller and she's from Havana. Does she roll it on her thighs? She's from Havana! We were talking because she was in Florida I said oh Elion Gonzales

2:37:21 So you should listen to our show because that's how we roll. We don't roll on our thighs, we roll with Elian Gonzalez references." Anyway... She said what was that all about? I said well it was the first version of Tren de Aragua and that's when who was president then Clinton wasn't it Clinton? That must have been Clinton yeah It was definitely a scandal. And let's go to one of the most press-free countries in the world, the Republik of Deutschland and what they're doing with politics it's quite an interesting little affair that is happening now Germany's domestic intelligence agency designated the whole AFD party as a confirmed right wing extremist organization on Friday The agency says the AFD threatens democracy due its xenophobic views on ethnicity

2:38:15 It concluded that the party discriminates against non-ethnic Germans, denying them equal status especially those from Muslim backgrounds. As Germany's Minister of the Interior Nancy Faeser explained... The party reacted to todays decision saying it is a serious blow to German democracy pointing to the polls showing the AFD as its strongest force The AFD stated that it will continue to defend itself legally against defamation. The decision follows a three-year review of AFT actions, statements and extremist links. The AFD came second in February's general elections ahead of the incoming junior coalition partner the SP. Parts of the AFD like its youth link were already classified this way

2:38:58 Parliament could theoretically ask for the party to be dissolved, but this is considered highly unlikely. So we don't like that you're popular so we just gonna have our security services call you a domestic terrorist and We want to dissolve you but everyone's gonna stay away and by the way your youth clearly Jugend I've de-jugend well you already classified you as little terrorists Our Secretary of State Rubio had some strong words for this. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio called Germany a tyranny in disguise after its intelligence service labeled the far-right alternative for Germany party as right wing extremist. Rubios comments made on the social media platform X drew strong backlash from Germany's foreign office

2:39:53 They replied by saying the decision was a result of a thorough and independent investigation, and that Germany has learned from its history that right-wing extremism needs to be stopped. stopped. The label now applied to the AFD will allow authorities to monitor the organization more closely." Meanwhile, critics including AFD leaders and their US supporters say the move is politically motivated. It's unbelievable what is happening in Germany. Yeah, there isn't a right-wing organization run by a lesbian... L2! A libertarian lesbian. A libertarian lesbian seems unlikely? You know no sooner have we spoken about the Harvard endowment than President Trump says you know

2:40:48 I think we're going to remove the tax-exempt status from the endowment. Yeah, I discussed this in the newsletter a little bit. Yeah, I missed the newsletter unfortunately. What did you say? I think a lot of this is a trap And it was designed, it's a trap to get Harvard because Harvard is deciding to sue back and they're making a big fuss. It's bringing it to light what its doing is bringing to light the fact that government is giving private institutions billions and billions of dollars when they have billions of dollars in their coffers already, and then it turns out they're treated like churches. So they have tax-free everything. They can buy this huge amounts of land. They don't have to pay taxes or property tax. They don't have to pay income tax. You have to pay nothing and this is being brought the light and more that these colleges push back on it, the more brings into the public eye which something I didn't really know how bad it was. It brings them to the public eyes like wait a minute

2:41:49 Yeah. This is not, this isn't right and when you don't... So these guys are screwing themselves And when you donate to the endowment it's a tax deduction It's like you get it on all the way in and on the way out It's no good. No! These guys are charging students hundreds of thousands of dollars to go get an education, meanwhile they're tax-free and they're getting free government money and they're living the life of Riley? No! The life of Riley I've never heard that... The life or I'm sorry use that term. That dated me. Please do explain the life of Riley this is a good one. The Life O'Riley was a phrase that was used my dad used to use it too

2:42:30 And it really was based on a TV sitcom, and I think it was a radio show before there was this sitcom. So it probably goes back to the 30's or 40's and It was a show called The Life of Riley Huh? And you can look up The Life Of Riley and you'll find some references to it This should probably be a television watching tip The life of Riley. I've never heard of this and you've never, never used this? No it's an old... one of those phrases that your parents used Oh like fiddle sticks Because it's like you're living the life of Riley meaning you're not doing nothing So was Riley living it up? no he was just a lazy guy who uh.. He was not... Here we go

2:43:19 William Bendix in The Life of Riley. It's John, it's from the 50s! Nice nice and complete episodes on YouTube I'm gonna have to watch that now. The life of Riley. Say the life of Riley yeah. Some of the people who are in that tax scam probably are as old as the life of Riley So I think this is a setup. And they fell right into the trap and said, you're shutting up... Beautiful Putting the clamps down on the Jewish thing saying we're gonna not let that happen anymore but no they had to be big shots You had to be your biggest shot didn't ya? Alright Victor David Hanson We got the five minute warning Okay

2:44:10 Here's Victor David Hanson talking about... I think it's Victor Davis Hanson, actually. Davis! Yeah, I always say David. I don't know why but I do. But Victor VDH has a commentary about the Democrats and I don't know why but at least right into our donations If you look at the Democratic Party in the left in general they have boxed themselves in on the one hand they have no institutional power no ability to pass legislation, losing the House and the Senate. No presidency White House, no executive orders Ultimately all of the cherry-picked district and circuit judges will be overturned by a largely conservative Supreme Court In lieu of actual power then you look at what is the alternative Maybe the alternative is a 1994 Newt Gingrich contract with America An alternate agenda

2:45:05 Yes, we can do better on the border than you can. Yes We have a better foreign policy with Iran there's nothing there's no shadow government There's not a young Bill Clinton ascendant. There's no young Barack. Oh, there's nobody there's no leaders. There's no agenda I couldn't make it any slicker than that. It's beautiful and it is time now to thank our donors $50 and above we do have John's tip of the day coming up some dynamite end of show mixes a quick overview with the meetups and Some title changes on a Commodore to a Commodore or two John take it away Yeah, well you had a few people to thank including Baron Latikin who's back from Houston Texas And he came with 100 in John Robinet is honored Commodore 128

Yes you win once again I can't believe it every single time the AI the AI pictures are winning the AI Isis are winning if only someone could make a hit song with AI that seems to be impossible We cannot make a hit with the tip of today its original from JCD Look, it is actually a great tip. People have to pay attention the whole lecture though. It's going to be a little bit longer than usual. Oh boy okay so I've always liked bitters bitter after dinner drink you have at the end of the meal.

2:58:57 It helps you digest, it's got all kinds of herbs and stuff in it. They tend to have genetion which is typically the main thing of most bitters. Don't they have... What's the other thing in the bitters? Anise? Some do some don't that's mostly ones with anise tend to be more like pastiche. I like the anise ones. Well there are lots of those around but thats not what we're talking about they dont' have very little anise in these amaros which a sub-segment of bitters, the ones that are made in Italy. Most of these were designed in the mid 1800s using exact same formula and so what happened was I started drinking these things with my son-in-law Brennan they used to come over he has what I would call people who understand these things would say an inquisitive palate

2:59:49 definitely looking for something that in his memorizes taste he's really good. He's just sucking up to his father-in-law well, I do blind tasting with these kids just to make sure they're not trying to buffalo me so So, we got into these bitters and we got into these amaros in particular. And we started going through a lot of them over our two-year period. We probably went through it and I have a bunch of them already and we went to the ones – Swiss ones or French ones that we've got started focusing on the best ones. And we finally determined the absolute best after dinner and he had kind of some stomach issues but his bitters were fabulous for after the meal.

3:00:30 You have like a shot in a bigger glass of about an ounce of bitters as your thing at the end of the meal, the digestif. Digestif. As it might be called in France. Digestif. Braulio is the creme de la creme de la crème of the great amaros out of Italy. I tried them all, the fernets and all the rest of them It's so hard to beat this particular product. This is not a cheap product that you get, they sell in the liters for about 50 bucks. It's not a cheap product at all but you can go to their website it's available everywhere. You go to the web and its special kind of sub-segment of Amaro which is the Alpine ones which means it was done

3:01:17 in the mountains from mountain herbs and it's got a blend of mountain herbs that was determined to, and most of these things by the way were started off as medicines. And they were developed by pharmacists in the 1800s. Yep. And this particular one is a stunner Is it available at Costco? Not that I know of. It may be on and off, but I've never seen it there. I don't get it at Costco. But Amaro Braulio, B-R-A-U-L-I-O dot com Amaro M-A-M-A-R-O B-R-A-U L-I-O which is the name of the brand. That's their website dot com. It's a beautiful product. It's aged. The best of the best that we've tried all of them this is the go to

3:02:03 This is a very valuable tip. What is it called again? Braulio, B-R-A-U-L-I-O. Braulio! Do you have indigestion after dinner then you need braulio! It's John C.
