We protect you Americans six weeks cycle still in full effect and now it's time for a brief... Oops sorry I was so well timed No wonder were getting no donations

01:38 You're gonna blame me now. Police and the FBI say they have stopped a planned terror attack at a Metro Detroit military base, the accused mastermind a 19 year old former member of the Michigan Army National Guard again a lot developing here at this hour Gonna bring in Robin Murdoch with our Fox 2 Detroit team joining us live with what we know and what is still left to figure out. Good morning, Robin. Good morning Josh. Yeah, What could have happened here is absolutely frightening as you just mentioned a 19 year old Melvindale man is behind bars this morning for allegedly planning a terrorist attack at the take home military facility here in Warren where we are right now he

02:20 He apparently, according to court documents had been planning this attack for about a year and he was arrested on the day that he was supposed to carry this out. So he's arrested on Tuesday night. Omar said it had allegedly been taking a couple or talking to you. A couple of different undercover officers were posing as ISIS supporters now federal investigators say that he told them how to make Molotov cocktails gave them ammunition and even flew a drone over the military base here to help plot that attack. Again, Saeed was arrested on the very same day he was supposed to carry out this mass shooting now neighbors as you can imagine they were just shocked when they saw the FBI raiding his home in Melvindale. The allegations are alarming and

03:06 simply frightening. Yeah, okay same as it ever was they talked to this poor 18 year old kid for a year hyping him up they got pictures of him doing ala walk bar with the ISIS flag hey kid hey fly this drone around and the minute he gets ago we got you! We're protecting you America cash in peace Kash Patel that is lame but it would be one thing if I know that was the previous FBI but no. Why would they change the formula that works? It doesn't work except for you and I! It's entrapment of children... The guy always ends up getting off, most these guys end up getting off. No this is a child who has just been jacked up and they should have said to him hey son sit down A year ago sit down son what is wrong with you let's talk to you about this forget your parents in here

04:00 Yeah, but this is MAGA. This is America! This is New America! This is not Biden's America What is this nonsense? Bush era did it? Well of course Everybody did it But this is MAGA time The Kash Patel was going to be different, he was gonna be different I'm gonna do everything different No! When's the last time that happened? Well I'm just saying that I am very disappointed Very disappointed what a loser system Come on kid. Here, I'll show you how to make a Molotov cocktail. Make your own ammunition like you just can't go out and buy it? What? Make your own ammo. I'll show you how to make some ammo and we will keep ya busy. These guys have been working this for a year wasting our money on this nonsense! Well that...I agree with that part of it Nonsense No its just..it is

04:52 It is not cool. Very disappointing He's up there now with AG Barbie Strike one against... Actually, AG Barbie has two strikes For Epstein and for JFK I'm sure she was probably out there today too Well We saved everybody Terrorist attacks! If you're gonna go with that, if you go to strikes What about Diddy? What about Diddy? Where are the tapes? Well, the tapes apparently were showed in court Well, some well yeah the freak off tapes here Sean Diddy Combs and Cassie Ventura on the red carpet for a movie premiere in March of 2016 jurors shown similar pictures from that night today in court in the sex trafficking and racketeering trial of combs he has

05:39 pleaded not guilty to all charges against him. Ventura and Combs were dating at the time but split in 2018, taking the stand for a second day she told jurors she wore a lot of makeup and sunglasses that night to cover bruising on her face. Ventura testifying those bruises were caused by combs two days before the premiere during a drug-fueled sex party He called a freak off. She told jurors Combs threw evasive flowers at her when she tried to leave the hotel The jury seeing this image showing shards of glass on the floor in the hotel hallway This video of combs throwing Ventura to the ground... hallway beating what no, no No, listen and kicking her in that hallway was also entered into evidence

06:20 Prosecutors showing the jury seven still images from those videos in court today. Ventura testified when she got home a friend noticed that injury and her swollen lip and called police She said she didn't want to name Combs so police left juror was in here at two combs saying you are sick for thinking it's okay to do what you've done a prosecutor asked How frequently did Sean put his hands on you during freak-offs? Ventura responded, too frequently. A lot! The singer testified the freak-offs also became private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video equipment to record that she felt humiliated

06:56 Wow. I'm sure that this clip said they showed the freak off videos, hold on. Uh-huh! Told ya. The defense is arguing Ventura chose... That tells us not, they saw some of the videos only the jurors saw some of the what videos? Which ones? The freak off video she said it right there! The freak off videos that were recorded by Combs here. Saying she feared for her career and family prosecutors showing the jury and only the jury some of those videos in court today Yeah, the freak-off videos They've shown them some of the freak-off videos You keep throwing the word freak-off in there They said it

07:44 She said they showed the jury some of the videos. They didn't say freak off videos, you play it over and over again and they're not saying freak off video. No! You are hearing it wrong! They're talking about the pornographic video shot during the freak... Listen listen Open your ears and listen Just listen How frequently did Sean put his hands on you during freak-offs? Ventura responded, too frequently. A lot! The singer testified the freak offs also became private pornography shoots with Combs setting up video equipment to record that she felt humiliated.

08:20 it was just not okay for me and that she felt like an object without a choice in whether or not to participate Ventura testifying Combs threatened to release the videos when he was upset about something saying she feared for her career and family Prosecutors showing the jury and only the jury some of those videos in court today. That's so it's those videos That's clear from the report you agree? No I inferred Yes, it's implied. They're saying the video...the freak off videos that she was... Okay fine But they don't use it, they don't present it that way I'm gonna parse it because that's what they do That's what the media does They say one thing and then they kind of lead you astray And make you sound like something is going on when its not

09:09 Unless they said, they showed them freak off videos. I'm not... They show them videos okay? Well it showed videos Some of those videos and okay whatever you just hear it differently that's fine That's fine It's fine You know what I spoke to those high school kids here yesterday morning And it was really Oh thats right! You were a big guy..you were the superstar speaker to the high school Yes And it was actually very good for me because I realized as I was sitting there talking about, you know... It's supposed to be a propaganda. And if you look up the definition of propaganda it is influencing people through communications doesn't have to be mass communications can even be through hairdos or hats or anything like that and to work on their

10:01 on their emotions. That's exactly what it is and I referred to Edward Bernays who wrote the book, and that was all before Hitler in 1929 when he had the suffragettes and torches of freedom Kisses cigarettes. Yeah, and as I'm going through it, you know every single thing even stuff you and I say is all propaganda And when I said who do you think is the biggest propagandist in America right now? One kid Levi stuck up his hand he went President Donald Trump. He said yes! MAGA! He's got hats. He's got a slogan It's just he's not playing on fear necessarily

10:39 And then I just remembered... Well, you don't have to play on fear to make it propaganda. No but fear is much easier to do but all most people have is, he's Hitler! He's taking free jets! Speaking of which, I see you have a three by three. I guess the Jones Brothers syndicate has brought you back into their inner circle am I assuming this correctly? They chummed the water once in awhile and now its time for a 3x3 Show them the water. Oh yeah baby! So before you get into it, I just want to say that is it possible that someone in the M5M news media will figure out the algorithm that is President Donald Trump? Do they not understand by now that this is

11:34 to use a term, chum in the water. To look over here while I'm doing something over there because if you even try to figure out where did this story come from about the jet? Where did it come from? It came from the Trump administration themselves! They planted this, they launched it and everybody... Everyone went for it. It is baffling how- He's the master troller! Everybody knows this. He was a master propagandist. It was fantastic he played right into them No they played right into him Yes they played right into him And I'm just like The BBC is doing a better job at reporting these days than anything we have Oh man

12:23 They even have it worse than the name they have now for it. What was it? I saw the rising. What is the rising had something, the rising... The rise... Oh yeah! Yeah, listen to this. Bribe force one controversy. Bride Force One oh we have a name for it. Oh yes it's a controversy he's taking favors from Qatar He can't fly in a jet that might explode him in air because they've planted bombs on or are eavesdropping How feeble-minded are you people Or are they just playing a game? Do you think they really know it all and they're like, okay we'll play the game. Is that possible? No! I worked in there with these people. Then we are... You and i are working amongst people who are below our intelligence level. I don't know if we can do this anymore It is so insulting that this just... The news is filled with it Here in the United States We have no news. No news. It's all entertainment tonight

13:23 It reminds me, you know I was watching CBS. I didn't get any clips from the show but CBS with John Dickerson and this other character whose name i can never remember is French. And they're trying to recreate the Chet Huntley David Brinkley combo two guys yacking with each other And it's just not working. You can tell that both these guys, one guy is big, he has a big dark skin with a French name and maybe black or Spanish I can't tell. And John Dickerson who is white as you can be and Beta who is very soft spoken. These two guy are like

14:09 like water and oil. I mean, they don't let you can tell they don't like each other because Huntley and Brinkley people don't remember them. I'm old enough to uh they were they were cordial They liked each other. They'd hang out You just tell it was a good team He's watched these two guys It's like watching you know A couple that just hates each other Here's another thing I realized in preparation for my big speech for the high school These kids, why would they listen to this show? The next generation is not interested in what we're doing. They don't watch television at all! At all at all at all! Zero! They don't watch PBS, they don't listen to NPR... None of this! It's it you know where we're right but I'm yeah you brought this up

15:03 And it reminds me, I have seen some notes from some of these this group. There are some kids who do but it's rare a few sure but I've seen notes to this effect what you just said condemning the show because who cares about what CBS says? It is not the fact that CBS still has millions and millions of viewers And it does affect the public and it definitely affects Washington more than anything because to people in Washington, our leaders all watch these networks. Our leaders all read The New York Times etc., so there's some reason to do this but

15:48 Basically condemning us for being, what difference does it make? We need to be screaming and yelling about other podcasters. These kids... here was my test anyone hear about the President Trump jet controversy three hands three three hands This has been blanketing our media for a week. Three hands. How many kids were there? A hundred? No, less than that and I say how many of you have heard about the TikTok band? Boom! All hands up What was it about? China's tracking us! Of course I dispelled that for them, but that's the whole point. It's like you actually...I've been withholding you from the right direction from the show We just need to do wall-to-wall TikTok clips man Wall-to-wall. Yeah, we just need to do wall-to-wall TikTok clops, Tick Tock Clops, tick tick tock tock clops

16:45 And we just got to be commenting on them and we gotta be talking about Megyn Kelly, and we gotta be talking about Dave Smith on Tucker Carlson. All these people! That is the future of the show otherwise were riding our audience into the pearly gates. Into the pearly gates I tell you. There's something to be said for that and I think others would agree Now, I do have a Dave Smith clip that I want to play later which reiterate the reason why I caught this. It's a real good one too you'll get a kick out of it. I don't think most people caught it

17:20 But it reiterates something else that we've in the background have discussed. Well, do you want to do the three by three first or you want to go? I'm sorry he already introduced a three-by-three. We've got three clips about this stupid jet. Three clips from stations you kids don't watch! The kids don't care about but i'll tell you this This is not an emolument situation as far as I can tell. You have to remember that we receive gifts from foreign countries all the time We do? The Statue of Liberty! Oh no, I thought you and me liked the show. Oh I wish! Send me a jet! We get a box of candy once in awhile From out-of-state

18:06 Yes, I do get some sweatshirts and hoodies. Yeah but your point is well made of course there's all kinds of gifts but you know the whole idea here is let's start some noise that makes it look like Trump is trying to benefit from his religious kids you know they're doing they're doing hotels in Qatar and this is all this always a grift! It's a grift man! It's a bunch of grifters that's the implication so let's start with Let's start with the CIA and CBS. Air Force One, an undeniable representation of American power ferried President Trump to the Middle East today. But three months ago the president toured an opulent Boeing 747 described as a flying palace with a master bedroom elegant bathrooms and staircase offered to the US government free of charge by the royal family of Qatar. Trump seems all in. I could be a stupid person say no we don't want free very expensive airplane

19:10 But I thought it was a great gesture. Frank Kendall served as Air Force Secretary in the Biden administration and says this idea shouldn't fly. It's a symbol of the presidency, it's a symbol of the American people And it's just frankly wrong for the president to be flying an airplane which when anyone sees it will be seen as a gift from gutter. The Qatari plane is built by Boeing in the US, but would have to be scrubbed for spyware and lacks at least $1 billion worth of presidential parts, a flying situation room, a medical clinic and top secret technology. Air Force One is a flying White House It is equipped with everything that President needs so you can get into 747 So he can do his job while he's traveling

19:49 This aircraft will not have those things. So how much is it going to cost to retrofit a palace into the White House? It would take years and it would be very expensive But, Kendall says The commander-in-chief has the power to fly on any aircraft he wants He can say I don't care about any of those things All I want is a luxurious airplane that I can fly around on And is our other lawmakers in Washington okay with this gift? No! Oh, there's bipartisan condemnation of this. Democrats are saying they're going to block Justice Department nominees because officials there have signed off on this agreement The president himself back in his first term accused Cutter of being a funder of terrorism but for now says he wants the plane You know, I don't think anyone mentioned it might be in your 3x3 Not a single person news person or not mentioned

20:39 That the term Air Force One is any if the president decides to get into a Cessna 172 and fly around, that is then Air Force One. So just a small point but they didn't even make that. They don't make any points that said this is all bad. By the way, it's interesting these not the guys on the networks but all these people, these spokespeople I'm starting to hear this more and more People are pronouncing you know Cutter has been pronounced CUT-tar Yeah now they're doing Gutter, gutter! You noticed it too? Oh yeah! It's gutter

21:16 Cutter you can say cutter or Qatar. I always like guitar better guitars. I like guitar bad sounds like a guitar Yeah, yeah good to play my guitar in Qatar and my chicks for free so yes I've noticed this gutter thing myself well. I'm sure the subliminal gutter It's just the gutter is big the gutter over there that that's the reason There's a reason to say gutter was the reasons a Keeve oh So let's go with, let's move to uh I'm gonna say this go to NBC. The president is defending his decision to accept a super luxury jumbo jet from the Qatari government for the Pentagon to use as the new Air Force One amid ongoing delays for a replacement jet from Boeing A White House official confirms these are pictures of its interior

22:02 The president says the jet will be transferred to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation when he leaves office. The White House says legal details are still being worked out on the proposed gift, while Qatar says no final agreement has been reached. I think that was a very nice gesture now I could be a stupid person and say, oh no we don't want to free plane. We give free things that will take one too Aviation experts tell NBC News the jet would likely have to be dismantled part by part To look for listening devices then upgraded with expensive systems refueling and missile defense Democrats are blasting the proposed gift as a threat to national security What people will now see is wait a minute

22:43 Don't they want him dead? Isn't this, wouldn't this be great. Yeah! Get on that plane man who knows what's going on now it's a threat to national security all of the sudden Blasting the proposed gift as a threat to national security What people will now see is the most powerful man on earth flying around in a plane paid for by a foreign government It's disgusting. It's wildly corrupt. It is corrupt! There you go, it's corrupt They all took the chum. It was like a chew toy. Another aspect of this is to give the needle to Boeing

23:25 for not finishing the jet. They're supposed to be... This was taking 10 years and they can't get this, you know, the 747 presidential upgrade done? To me that was the whole point of saying it That's what I think-I think it was one of the points for sure Well but then he subsequently went and did a hundred billion plus dollar deal for Boeing And like uh..and he said Get those jets out there boys! Come on now! Can't believe we're discussing this But that's exactly what your propagandistic news media all around the world has done and we only have one left. And this will take it to any reason saving ABC to the end I do want to mention on today so it was very interesting on today's The View mm-hmm they had the regular team and then they brought Kelsey Grammer on to talk about his

24:18 What does he have? Does he have a new movie? Book. A new book?! Tell all books, because he's been distressed about the murder of his sister 50 years ago. Wow Kelsey Grammer is an interesting dude man So they brought him out Sonny Hauston and Joy Behar were not on this set when Kelsey was on this set Now I thought, well maybe they filmed it some other time but once Kelsey left the set those two came back on. I wonder why? Well because Kelsey works for Fox and he's a Republican! Kelsey Grammer works for Fox?! Yeah he's on the Fox whatever that streaming service is doing history lessons. I missed that... It's a gig

25:11 Well, it is a gig. But the fact is that those two stiffs would not... ABC has got to get it together! They can't put up with this kind of- This is.. You can't do that you can't walk out on a guest because of politics when they're talking about a book about a dead sister Like anyone cares what they do on The View Who cares? These old bags I guess ABC's execs sure don't care No no they don't But so here we go, so I save ABC for last because they're the worst. President Trump today defended the $400 million gift he wants to accept from the government of Qatar a massive 747-8 luxury jet that's been called a flying palace The jet which is bigger and more luxurious than Air Force One would almost certainly be the most expensive gift ever from a foreign power

26:02 It has two fully furnished floors, plush carpet leather couches and two bedrooms. Under the entirely unprecedented arrangement the Qatari royal family would give the plane to the Pentagon to be used as Air Force One but shortly before Trump leaves office ownership would transfer to the Trump Presidential Library Foundation I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer. I mean, i could be a stupid person and say no we don't want free very expensive airplanes Democrats say accepting the Qatari jet would be clearly illegal violating the Constitution's ban on gifts from foreign heads of state His shameless self enrichment is without equal in American history Hillary Clinton pointed to the president comments that children might have to settle for just two dolls because at the impact of his tariffs

26:51 Clinton posting, so American children should make do with two dolls while Donald Trump gets a free Sky Palace from the Qatari government. Well done ABC! Oh well done! Okay and the top Democrat on the Armed Services Committee Jack Reed flagged alarming national security concerns warning using the Qatari jet as the new Air Force One would quote pose immense counterintelligence risks by granting a foreign nation potential access to sensitive systems and communications. Trump today angrily dismissed the criticism. Or I could say, thank you very much. Attorney General Pam Bondi argues the arrangement with Qatar is legal insisting the plane is not a bribe because the Qatari royal family is getting nothing in return So that was Jonathan Karl right? Yep so did you see Jonathan Karl getting interviewed about this huge story he's been talking about

27:56 No. Oh, oh yes! In the meantime we turn to the uproar over the $400 million gift from the government of Qatar tonight a luxury 747 jumbo jet To be used as Air Force One until the end of Trump's term when The White House says it would be decommissioned and donated to The Trump Library Tonight President Trump answering questions on this And there are many critics asking is this ethical? Is it legal? How safe is it for an American president to be flying in a jet given him by a foreign nation President Trump saying he would be a stupid person to turn the offer down. Jonathan Karl broke the story and John's back on this tonight. He broke it? He broke the story! Did not break the story... He broke it baby, Jonathan Karl is the man. He broke the story. He had inside sources that oh they're giving Trump a jet someone in the White House called Jonathan Karl

28:48 and said, that's why by the way. That's why Trump did this. Mr President what do you say to people who view that luxury jet as a personal gift to you? Why not leave it behind- You're ABC fake news right? Only ABC well... A few of you would let me tell ya So he calls out ABC fake news because he gave the story to ABC to humiliate them It's so obvious whats going on here And they took the bait and the hook, and the line, and the sinker. But Jonathan Karl is a hero! Okay. Trump today angrily dismissed the criticism. They're giving us a free jet and we had all that maybe this okay John you broke the story alright John Carl you broke the story John you laid out there many of questions but there's another one and it's a big one, you know folks are asking how safe would this be for an American president to be flying around on a jet given by a foreign government? And wouldn't this jet have to be significantly taken apart to make sure it secure from surveillance from spying and how long would that take

29:56 David, it would require extensive modifications. The Air Force has strict requirements for any presidential aircraft in terms of the security and communications features a presidential plane must be able to operate even in the event of a nuclear blast. Blast! And as you mentioned it would have to go through a security sweep to search for listening devices and tracking devices how long would it take? The White House, White House officials have suggested it could be done by the end of the year. But many experts say it could actually take years to accomplish all that. All right John Carl who broke the story on this week. He broke the story! He was handed he was handed the story so they could be human Trump is in his element here

30:38 and he got everything he wanted, including delusional Democrats. The Democrats are fighting it only because they want to fight. They have Trump derangement syndrome with somebody else they wouldn't fight if you had a normal person that's stiff sitting behind here that'd be fine but they have trumped arrangement syndrome. Senator Schumer has become a Palestinian welcome I don't know when they're going to give him the ceremony whatever this is It's terrible what happened to the Democrats. So he got that extra? I thought France 24 did a great job because they pulled in some of his classic quotes while he was on the road Touchdown of Air Force One in Doha for second leg of Donald Trumps Middle East tour and the red carpet is rolled out greeted on the tarmac by Qatar's Amir Tamin bin Hamad Al Fahmy

31:29 The US president was treated to a traditional soul dance and a procession of camels for welcome at Qatar's royal court where Trump got down to business Signing an array of deals between Washington and Doha including a record order of Boeing planes by Qatar Airways from Boeing That's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing. That's pretty good over 200 billion dollars. Didn't hear anyone on ABC, NBC or CBS talk about that? But 160 in terms of the jets that's fantastic! A joint statement on defense cooperation and a drone deal were also signed The lavish welcome also saw us sit down in the luxurious Al-Ameri Palace where the US president was full of praise Look at this it is so beautiful

32:17 As a construction person, I'm seeing perfect marble. This is what they call perfecto. What a beautiful place and we appreciate those camels. I haven't seen camels in a long time Best camels ever! I love your camels you got beautiful camels express his admiration for the Qatari Emir and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman who he met in Riyadh on Tuesday. A charm offensive in Qatar as Trump comes under fire for saying he wanted to accept a luxury jet worth 400 million dollars from the oil-rich Gulf country, arguing that he would be stupid to turn down a free gift. So and I said the BBC they actually were reporting on stuff about this major trade deal it's

33:13 You know, it's reported between 600 billion and 1.2 trillion dollars I don't know exactly where it comes from but its impressive numbers and at least they had some journalistic reporting President Trump is continuing his tour of the Middle East On Wednesday he was in Qatar Where he signed a series of deals including a huge order for Boeing planes It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing that's pretty good It's over 200 billion dollars But 160 in terms of the jets, that's fantastic. So that's a record and congratulations. What? Was that error message in the middle of that clip was that from your clip he said 160

33:57 No, no I'm talking about the window sound. Oh I didn't hear a window sound that's on your head. Mr Boeing get those planes out there. Our North America editor Sarah Smith is traveling with Mr Trump so what sort of welcome? Was Jonathan Karl traveling with mr trump? I doubt it. Caravan of camels! And there were dancing men with swords the length of the highway. Now he's turning up for a state dinner at the Royal Palace and yet again, there is all kinds of ceremony to greet him there and he loves it I mean you can see how much he is enjoying this tour of the Middle East where he is being feted by royalty as he visits some of them wealthiest countries in the world

35:01 ...and he's sealed some very lucrative deals as he goes around clearly enjoying himself. Not just lucrative deals, but of course there is this huge arms deal with Saudi Arabia which is a clear signal... to the Iranians like, hey we're not going to do anything but these guys will. They don't like you so all I have to do is snap my fingers and you guys are in trouble so let's make a deal! We begin in Saudi Arabia President Trump has made a raft of significant announcements in the Gulf state on the first day if his tour of the Middle East Speaking after a lavish lunch hosted by the kingdom's crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman he said the two had signed commercial agreements worth more than 600 billion dollars. The White House said these included the largest defense sales deal in history. That was all minor detail Jonathan Karl didn't bring up? Mr Trump spoke at an investment forum in the Saudi capital Riyadh heaping praise on his hosts

36:02 I want to thank his royal highness, the crown prince for that incredible introduction. He's an incredible man known him a long time now is nobody like them. I've never forgotten the exceptional hospitality show to us by King Salman who's just we talk about a great man that is a great man. That is a great man and President Trump said Iran was the most destructive force in the Middle East and contrasted its actions with what he deemed as positive developments on the Arabian Peninsula. In his speech, Mr Trump urged Tehran to make what he called a deal with Washington or face devastating consequences. I'm here today not merely to condemn the past chaos of Iran's leaders but offer them a new path toward

36:55 far better and more hopeful future. I want to make a deal with Iran, if i can make a deal with Iran I'll be very happy if we're going to make your region and the world's a safer place but if Iran's leadership rejects this olive branch and continues to attack their neighbors then we will have no choice but to inflict massive maximum pressure. Pressure? Drive Iranian oil exports to zero and take all action required to stop the regime from ever having a nuclear weapon Iran will never have a nuclear weapon This is so good he goes, he's in Saudi Arabia and says I'm here to make a deal with Iran mm-hmm this is called the 600 billion dollar deal of devastation we will unleash on you if you don't do a deal

37:44 It's baffling that no news media puts these two little bits together. Well, NTD did. Not NTD...NTD I mean Fox did. Nah, not... Where is your clip? Well, I don't have to play those clips you're did but the point is is that it has it was discussed But you're right what you're saying. Is that the big three? Yes said nothing because they were there They're in the bag for the Democrat Party and Chuck Schumer yes And yeah, I agree and then this was underplayed I felt in the United States but

38:21 The meeting with the the new the new guy in Syria who's not a new guy We've known about this guy, but it's okay. This is a guy and Trump will go meet him It wasn't expected to be a long meeting Donald Trump had merely said he would say hello to the Syrian president Al-shara Visit to Saudi Arabia But this was the first time in a quarter of a century that an American leader met their Syrian counterpart. And more than that, Mr. al-Shara leads a group still listed as a terrorist organization by many countries – an offshoot of Al Qaeda but speaking afterwards President Trump made clear... It's changed his name! ...that brief hello is intended to be just the start of a new diplomatic era between the two countries. Brief Hello? We are currently exploring

39:10 normalizing relations with Syria's new government, as you know. Beginning with my meeting with President Ahmed al-Shara and Secretary Rubio's meeting Syrian Foreign Minister in Turkey. I am also ordering the cessation of sanctions against Syria to give them a fresh start." And that, of course represents a major concrete development in the new US-Syria diplomacy – a concrete step which is not merely of interest to business people and economists Just listen to these ordinary Syrians welcoming the news on the streets of the capital Damascus. The feeling is indescribable, unbelievable happiness! Hopefully God helps this country and it will be better for everyone. Congratulations to everyone

39:59 There is incredible happiness for all Syrians. It will be great for our country Construction will return the refugees will return everyone will return the prices will drop there is good to come God willing it just needs a bit of patience but good things are coming our way So you and I would just be okay well that's interesting guy used to be a terrorist and now we're gonna wipe The slate clean as probably a little little jab towards Israel at the same time. But see this is where we're doing things wrong, we need to be like Scott Horton! We need to go on Judge Knapp show and talk about what a horrible dictator and this is no good and Trump... Well before you go onto that clip since you're going and going I don't want you get too far off the track but I know what your headed

40:54 Just as a subtext I want to mention the fact that this show has determined early on during the ISIS era That Isis was created by us. Mm-hmm And they do one thing that was very noticeable about Isis is they never attacked Israel They never had anything negative to do with Israel. No, it's real their handlers. I think that's pretty well established now so so when Trump meets with his ex Isis guy as an employee Yeah exactly But you see, that's not the way to go. That's not what gets people to listen to our show! I'm just...I'm doing media deconstruction on ourselves. This is going be the theme for this show? It is it is Don't worry, I've got two TikTok clips coming. I know, I know You're gonna save the day with TikTok clops. I can't say it. Tick-Tock tick-tock Clop clip clops

41:43 So yeah, so of course Scott Horton who wrote the book. He wrote the book on everything he went on judge Knapp to set the record straight Max Blumenthal they are slaughtering Alawites and Christians in Syria by the guy that Trump embraced This is the guy that Trump praised and this is the guy the head of the government theoretically from which Trump removed Sanctions. This is a guy who until a month ago, Trump's own State Department had $10 million bounty on his head. Yeah and look the thing is I wrote my book called Enough Already Time to End the War on Terrorism and I don't argue in there that there are no enemies out there There are Bin Ladenites out there And I would never recommend in a million years that Trump lead another war against this new Bin Ladenite state in Syria Somebody else will have to work it out

42:37 But for God's sake we shouldn't be backing them. So lift the sanctions, yes but officially normalize relations with them? I don't know why! Why can't we lean on the Turks to put somebody who is not a... former, supposedly sworn blood oath member of Al-Qaeda in charge of Damascus. It's crazy and clearly it's up to the Turks to decide you know they have a thousand times 100 thousand times the state power that this new Syrian regime has They can go in there and change things Why does this have to be the status quo? See this is what we're doing wrong You need to go on Judge Knapp show And you really needed to get out there John Can't just say listen I wrote the book on vinegar

43:16 And this is, I know that this is not the way to go with Syria. We can't do this! This a murdering butcher we can have any of this happening and Trump is corrupt! With respect to Mohammed bin Salman, Trump has to cozy up to him. Trump's boys are building high rises in Saudi Arabia Yeah, Trump's boys I'm not gonna talk to you because you butchered. I forget the fellas name the reporter from here Washington Post Yeah, cuz Shogi crown prince

43:54 uh, Bonesaw we used to call him there. No the NBC called him that this there's still no actual evidence that took place but it's okay Scott Horton wrote the book I think i might have got Kennedy in trouble on Fox Business Channel for calling them that but um Yeah, he is a murderer and he's of course the butcher of the Yemenis from 2015 through 22 as well. Mohammed bin Salman is a terrible guy and I don't know the intricacies of Trump's sons business relations over there they ought to be able to keep that separate even if they are doing that nation not be doing that while he is in power But even if they are, they ought to be able to keep that separate and he oughta be able just like Joe Biden ought to be able to say I'm sorry. Your business interests don't mean anything compared the foreign policy interest of United States of America and if we have to play hardball with these countries were going

44:43 But yeah, clearly it's a major disincentive for doing that. Yeah see this is our problem we're too glib we're too cavalier We're laughing about everything to make people happy and then make them not so somber about the news... ...We have to be like well this is serious business man and they can't accept a jet What is your opinion of this? $400 million plane as a gift that the Qataris want to give to the Defense Department and then to Trump's library. I mean, do the Qataris give these things not expecting a quid pro quo? I can't imagine

45:20 And, you know it's really a shame. I mean the whole idea is just crazy Trump ought to obviously just turn them down and say thank you but no thank you It's a massive conflict of interest Just that there any foreign state if it was the English or the French Or anybody else The Statue Of Liberty Anybody? Germans we shouldn't be doing this kind of deal with any foreign country Um and clearly when its monarchy a royal monarchy in the Middle East, it's crazy. They were camel drivers man not a monarchy they just made them made up some titles for themselves that we would have that kind of relationship with their and then yes of course just like with every foreign expenditure in this country there is a massive conflict of interest you know with all these states

46:08 You gotta take responsibility. Don't worry, I'll spare the rest but it gets down to Israel eventually believe me we should not be paying for Israel to slaughter innocent people that's what always comes down too with these guys well there's also that there's another thing going on and i have a clip that kind of backs up that clip again on Judge Knapp hey you're fishing in my pond! Well this has been floating around and this is Scott Ritter Another fine, another fine specimen. Another fine example and I'll say this is this started once Trump here's the backstory was written up in the newsletter about

46:52 How it's possible that Hexeth was set up. Yes, they wanted him out They wanted him out because they want because Mike Waltz and all the there still neocons around and people don't like using a term anymore Because it's I don't know why but Mark Levin is part of this And he went after Tucker Carlson on his radio show Oh And calling him Oswald the 30, mocking him for being a kind of pretty boy. I went back and listened to the Dave Smith thing where Tucker brought up Mark Levin and Dave Smith

47:32 The Dave Smith clip, which is the one I have it's got nothing to do with this particular topic But Tucker was very mild about complaining about Mark Levin He said that mark levin once war with Iran and he does if you listen to mark living. Oh, yeah Or his TV stuff. He wants war with Iran? He wants a Ron to be bombed to oblivion in Israel's the greatest place in the world and Bambaran, he's the one that... John McCain bull crap. And Mike Waltz apparently was doing a thing with Netanyahu and the whole setup to get Hexhut was actually a set up it was kind of double crossed and the idea is they get rid of Mike Waltz because he has been

48:23 doing back deals with Netanyahu to bomb Iran. Yes, and Trump is totally against it And but that's one of the reasons he went to the Middle East them to tell everybody there that look we'll do it But we don't want to know what will have the Saudis do it We don't want to but if we have you know in anybody did we just so you just said he doesn't wanna know He doesn't wanna do anything like that. He's more anti-war than Dave Smith and Scott Horton combined So you got these guys coming out of the woodwork, and he would include Douglas Murray in that as I discussed in that article in the newsletter that people should be subscribed to. But here is a Scott Ritter

49:06 All of a sudden turning into a neocon and turning on the whole administration, Trump and everybody in between. In a way that's just like what is wrong with this guy? Marco Rubio is a bigger traitor to Donald Trump and Donald Trump's policies than Mike Pompeo was It is Marco Rubio that has sunk the Russia policy and he's sinking the Iran policy. He is preventing Trump from achieving the policies, when I say prevent Trump it's because Trump is ultimately at the end of day a very weak and insecure man who doesn't have what it takes to stand up look people in the eye and say you're fired! And that's what he needs do to Marco Rubio right now fire him terminate his existence but he took 100 million dollars from Adelman

49:51 widow and you know, gosh he surrounded himself with the wrong people. But Donald Trump this is why he's failing right now because of Marco Rubio and Marco Rubio is behind Mike Waltz being kicked out. Does Donald Trump understand what's at stake in the special military operation in Ukraine? No, I don't think Donald Trump can spell Russia let alone understand the complexities of Russia. He certainly doesn't understand Ukraine because he is a schizophrenic when it comes to Zelensky One minute he rightly calls him out as this irresponsible dictator The next minute he speaks about him as if he's the legitimate leader of a viable nation state He doesn't know how to deal with NATO or Europe

50:32 He's all over the place. And one of the reasons because of the conflicting guidance he is getting from his national security team, led by Marco Rubio who continues to sell Europe as a viable ally. Europe is not our ally! This is a very enlightening clip for me The Fred Freakout crew has been talking this way about Rubio for a couple of weeks, which means it's in the transom. It is being transmitted and we know exactly where that comes from – defense. Former Defense Intelligence people and so Rubio not to be trusted be careful yeah... And our problem here John is that we are swimming against the tide

51:18 The tide is you've got to be against our tax dollars paying for Israel to kill people Forget our tax dollars anywhere else killing people in much larger numbers, but that is exactly What we are up against and that's why people like And I hope you go to the Tucker clip next because I listened to the Dave Smith ball spike show with Tucker and I think it was a complete mistake the way they analyzed that conversation. And, I'll just reiterate it very shortly Douglas Murray went there and he can't because Tucker's correct Douglas Murray is like a boarding school kid and he debates in a certain way any and he says things in a certain way in that regard but what he was saying

52:12 We on the right and speaking for him not for me we on the right have to be careful what we're saying because The kind of stuff that were talking about with Israel leads to Jew hate That's what he was trying to say And he just couldn't say it that way Because he knew them you know Dave Smith. I'm Jewish, you know everyone Scott Horton. I'm Jewish That's not the point The point is, that's what going on. That is the narrative regardless of what our tax dollars are doing in every other nook and cranny of the world killing many more people. That's the narrative which is based on

52:51 The whole Whitney Webb conspiracy bull crap that Israel has the goods on everybody and that this is why we don't have the Epstein papers because we'll find out that the entire Congress and Senate, and everybody's being blackmailed for kiddie fiddling. You know? Is there some of that? No doubt! But is that rampant? No it's the other way around We control Israel as is witnessed by President Trump doing a deal with the Houthis, hey stop bombing our ships do whatever you want to Israel. It's the other way around and people are just they can't stand us for it John that's the problem that is it. You're still obsessed. What else am I gonna do? So

53:37 No, I'm not gonna play the Dave's because the Dave Smith clips are not about what you just said. Okay summarized it beautifully Okay, I do have some Trump in the Middle East analysis clips okay that bring in all kinds of interesting information That nobody discussed and I think is all good stuff. This is NTD. I'm presuming yes because I have to say this NTD they're bringing these experts and they'll go back and forth with Tiffany and And they really bring out a lot of stuff that other analysts on other shows, Fox and all the rest. Fox is really shallow which is what the Dave Smith clip's about by the way I'm sorry...I have to interject one more thing and then I'll be quiet about it because No, you're on a roll on this topic so keep talking Okay So again, I can see in the troll room okay! We control Israel but having Israeli handler for every one of our congressmen It's AIPAC man

54:33 I'll say it to you one more time. Follow the money! AIPAC gets its money from the American-Israeli Education Foundation Yeah, there's some rich Jews and American Jews who donate to that but the bulk of the money that goes to AIPAC is all from military contractors It's Raytheon, its Boeing... AIPAC is a military industrial complex system That's where the money is coming from, not from Israel. It's coming from our own companies who want to control... Are our congressmen and senators controlled by the military-industrial complex? Hello Eisenhower! Yes of course they are and the few that go against it I see you guy from Missouri whose wife died all of a sudden

55:26 after he told everybody exactly how it worked, it is not Israel that's controlling our Congress. It is the contractors! The big military industrial complex where does the term come from? From the warning President Eisenhower gave to us That's the warning. He didn't say, watch out for Israel! They're gonna get us they're gonna control us no you're being fooled by APAC nonsense all right I'm done I gotta say it I just got to reiterate people are wrong We've said it before and we say it again, and anyone who doesn't see it that way... Massey from Kentucky. I'm sorry. Yeah, poor Massey. And he just keeps... He's oblivious. He's a good guy! And he went on Tucker, and he said exactly how it works. And everyone took that to be Israel has got the goods? No! They will primary you. How do they primary you with lots of money? Where does the money come from? Follow the money. American-Israeli Education Foundation look at

56:30 Form 990s look at the money. It's Boeing it's Raytheon, it's the huge military contractors That's the problem Okay yes listen some analysis let's go to the analysis from NTD Progress report on President Trump's first trip to the Middle East like much of his presidency it involves a lot of deals and surprises One of which was his meeting today with Syria's leader, a former member of Al Qaeda urging him to normalize relations with Israel That happened after Trump announced he would lift sanctions on Syria. His actions are even drawing some support from congressional Democrats

57:11 Joining me now to discuss all of this is David Wormser, Middle East Affairs Analyst at the Center for Security Policy and Foreign Policy Specialist. Sounds like a spook what kind of guy is this? How come we don't have one of these operations?! The Center for Security Policy. Yeah, okay. David thank you so much for joining us now a slew of developments coming out of Trump's Middle East trip as mentioned above Trump's lifting sanctions on Syria and met with the current leader who calls himself a reformed terrorist How big of a change in diplomacy is this on Trump's part? What are his goals here? Well I think he did it somewhat as the favor to the Saudis He the Saudis really were pushing for this

57:50 And there wasn't an overarching reason that he saw to completely stiff the Saudis on it. So while there's grave reservations, and those are first of all his terrorist pasts as for Sharah the leader of Syria is terrorists past number one. Number two the fact that Syria is a divided country It's not unified so when Trump met Sharra He essentially said listen I'm willing to work with you. He said in very diplomatic ways than it was very but he said, listen I'll work with you but you got to put your country together and you're on probation. So he did lift the sanctions but they can be reimposed if necessary so i think this was more what he was giving the Saudis

58:33 And he walked into something, he may have realized. He may not have realized I'm not sure but it was really a very aggressive power play by the Saudis against the Qataris who are at strategic odds with each other this was really in the backseat backdrop to this The backstory to this is that the Saudis were trying out dance the Qataris Wow! That's yes well President Trump is genius hey I'm going to go get money from all these guys. Oh, no this is what you... This is sales! Yeah it's... They used a PC Magazine sales guy that used to work with...I mean I never got deals or anything but I just always take sales training and try to see what they're up too because it was interesting and one of them one of the publishers said oh yeah here's what I like to do. You go you've got these two computer companies in use and you say

59:23 You go into one of them and you say, look how much your competition's gonna spend on advertising this next quarter. That's what you do! Yes! You're not going to let them outspend ya are ya? I forgot to look was President Trump wearing his brown shoes I don't know, but he wore the purple tie which is very rare in Saudi Arabia. This is a tip! The Saudi Arabia thing and then when he goes to Qatar, he goes and they compliment these two guys and he keeps bringing them Ben Salman's name And the thing isn't anyone who follows this closely... They hate each other! Yeah of course

1:00:00 And so Trump is playing it, you know? He must be amusing the hell out of himself. But I like this guy's analysis that it was Ben Solomon that got Trump to say hey, meet the guy from Syria and maybe you can fix... Fix that problem. Patch things up. Yeah patch that up. That's what he did! Ben Salman's a more powerful guy than in this whole picture and he didn't drop his body. You mean Prince Bonesaw? Bonesaw, Bonesaw is pretty talented I love how they think that that guy like Ben Salman himself saw Saad Khashoggi in little bits and pieces yeah I'm sure of it you're following the mainstream narrative people

1:00:45 Yes, go on. I have five of these so... Yeah okay we'll move on. I want to get to that but first how likely are we to see Syria sign onto the Abraham Accords? Uh I don't think it's going to be very time soon uh very much very soon there first of all Syria the government only controls 40 percent of the country number one number two is number one number two is number one number two is a minority gravitating toward Stop the clip. I'm stopping am sick and tired this started with Biden I'm sick and tire you start to hear it all the time number one number two yeah, I'm hearing it on Fox I'm hearing it from From from Emily Campagna. Oh, I'm hearing it from Gutfeld everybody Number one number two number one number two number one number two. I'm sick of it Hi, I'm we just a first

1:01:36 Or well first of all, blah blah blah. Well how about this? There's a million things you can say either number one or number two Well it's because these people all got a briefing and memo and it had little numbers next to it One Say this Two Say that Okay there is always that possibility That was number one And what was number two Oh yeah I got number two Number two was this That's what happening there Number 1 Number 2 Number 1 Number 2 Number 1 Number 2 The minorities are gravitating toward Israel So their some tension between Syria and Israel over the minorities. The Israelis are protecting now the Christians to some extent, certainly the Druze and some of the others So I think it's a long time coming before Syria is put together

1:02:16 and Syria is in a comfortable state to deal with Israel. Then you have the strategic overlay where Syria is part of a larger strategic battle, and that may be more the key to what drives the Abraham Accords in the long run but for the moment Syria is way too much of a political football to initiate and join those accords. Where is someone talking about the son-in-law? Jared. Hasn't anyone brought up Jared yet? Jared's been completely out of this. Jared has, oh Jared's taken a billion dollars from the Saudis! Jared, Jared, Jared, Jared! Another Jew! Jared the Jew!

1:02:58 Somebody should ask the question where's Jared, okay? Hereby nobody does now of course not with Trump's Middle East you know trip How do you see this fitting in with his strategy for dealing with Iran because for instance we heard in Trump speech and With the Saudis that he doesn't believe in permanent enemies signaling a softening on Tehran But reiterating that the US will not allow it to have a nuclear weapon. How are you reading them yeah it's a great question to ask. I think what happened here is that there are a number of reasons why he went to Qatar and Saudi Arabia, UAE is kind of with Saudi Arabia So by bringing Qatar and Saudi Arabia into this happy family, again I think in the long run it's not such a happy family. I think Qatar and Saudi Arabia have two very different agendas that are not very friendly to each other but nevertheless the strategy here was if you get Qatar and Saudi Arabia, you pull them out of the Chinese orbit which is protecting Iran You pull them away from Iran And you essentially isolate Iran

1:04:00 in the region. And when you isolate Iran in the region and then if you impose sanctions, Iran really starts facing binary choices. You're alone, you're sanctioned, you're blockaded, the Chinese can't help you, the rest of the regions abandoned you and the Israelis are about to come after you so you have a choice." Give up your nuclear program and join this happy family or pursue that, but then you're going to face the consequences. So I think that's really Iran strategy behind some of this. Yes yeah of course give it up Iran and it's not the Iranian people... You know this is another thing I'm so tired

1:04:43 I was tired of now. I was talking to some Fred freak out people and all like you know Trump's a bread a bed like the Fred freak out yeah Trump's abandoning Israel what do you mean well he's no longer talking to Netanyahu Netanyahu is not Israel it's Netanyahu now Iran is not all the Iranian people Iranis is actually pretty cool-looking these days its modern people aren't wearing the hijabs anymore women are walking around in skirts Showing their ankles. You know, Russia! Russia is not... it's Putin you have a problem with Putin this is all dumb It's completely dumb and the people just sit around go What are they feeding me? Let me eat it all up. The Jews I got it They're running the world man Yeah This all started when we got rid of no agenda social this isn't when it all started

1:05:44 This is when we would start on the downhill slope. Because we did not... When they got rid of them? You mean when it formed? No, no, no! When they pulled the plug that's I call that getting rid of them. When they pulled the plug- I didn't pull any plugs. When they pulled the plug That's when people know those guys are all in on Israel They're getting chicks They know where their bread is buttered. They're all in on this. But you know what? We don't have that quirky face like Whitney Webb, the little face and we don't live in Chile and we can't talk about how it's the Jews and then they goes back to all the rich Jews... Okay let's go home, stop! And then Palantir, Palantir and Elon Musk are gonna control us! You did get your gigawatt coffee

1:06:51 I did. Yes, I did get the gigawatt coffee and we also got some decaf for Tina which i did not drink that's obvious but this is important stuff because you and I have other things to do if people are not going to listen to us...I don't know what but we'll find something we'll find something to do I would normally try to stop me from this never-ending lament yeah but you're not well no it's because I'm reminded of another great I don't want to call him an evangelist, TV guy. TV religious guy Gene Scott. Oh wow yeah. Gene Scott used to come on and complain about not getting enough donations Exactly He would stop the show Yeah! I'm stopping this, I'm walking away! He stopped the show I'm pulling the plug

1:07:48 He'd lower his glasses. Sometimes you wear two or three pairs of glasses on top of each other these glasses I'm wearing them now look I'm lifting up one of his glasses over his nose And he looked down over is over the glasses and he said are you you? Is this okay, this is important to you does it matter You're listening. Do you don't care And he'd go on, the whole show would be that. I don't want the whole show to be that because they got more clips let's go to clip four and i wanna dig into some of those deals with a happy family you just mentioned because trump did struck strike a deal with the Saudis that's about 600 billion dollars and a $244 billion one with Qatar. You just mentioned they're very different, but how significant are these two deals? And how do you see that changing the dynamic in that region maybe pulling away from China for instance? Oh they're very big I mean they really make America the economic focal point of these massive economic powers uh...these oil powers

1:08:43 We haven't even seen yet what's going to be unveiled in the UAE in the next two days, but that will probably add a considerable amount to this total of purchases consumed consumption and investment in the West and specifically in the United States. America first by these countries I think if you had it all up at the end of the day we're talking close to $2 trillion worth of deals and investments, and arms sales that will come out of this trip. That's a awful lot of money to infuse in the American economy. And it really helps the president with his America First agenda especially to get through the immediate period of offsetting the damage done by tariffs until longer term gains of the tariffs would kick in according to what he believes. We move quickly to tariffs that's interesting

1:09:36 Now, it's interesting to remember that something that we did because of Biden for four years as we did this show. We forgot about the... Because before Biden, we had other presidents that... This show has been on forever And we've noticed that one of the things all the presidents do is that they're ultimately salesmen for the military industrial complex and they go overseas, if you remember. All of them would go overseas and do deals By the way just to remind everybody That's all we really make Have you seen an American car recently? What does it look like They're all militaristic looking That's how I know how to make war stuff We make war stuff

1:10:16 It's high margin. Yeah, oh war stuff is super high margin! Yes so you know it's a winner yeah we're so we yes our presidents would always go over and do these deals Biden never did because he couldn't sell anything this guy was lost He couldn't sell his way out of the paper bag So we go on, but Trump's just... I mean Trump is old as he is. He's still a killer salesman and that's what we have to remember and this benefits the country beyond belief so let's go on no matter how much they hate him.

1:10:55 By the way, the TikTok clips coming up will prove that. Let's go to the final clip. Zooming out a bit here during Trump speech in Saudi Arabia he criticized those he called neocons and interventionists saying they messed up Middle East policy what are your thoughts on all of that? Yeah he is really reacting to the Iraq war and especially not just knocking Saddam out which had its own strategic issues, but there were ways to do it. What he's really reacting to is that we sat there after the war occupied Iraq and had sort of a... We had a nation-building presence trying to rebuild Iraq which became kind of an endless bogged down situation The Iranians and Syrians were taking pot shots at us there

1:10:16 It's high margin. Yeah, oh war stuff is super high margin! Yes so you know it's a winner yeah we're so we yes our presidents would always go over and do these deals Biden never did because he couldn't sell anything this guy was lost He couldn't sell his way out of the paper bag So we go on, but Trump's just... I mean Trump is old as he is. He's still a killer salesman and that's what we have to remember and this benefits the country beyond belief so let's go on no matter how much they hate him.

1:10:55 By the way, the TikTok clips coming up will prove that. Let's go to the final clip. Zooming out a bit here during Trump speech in Saudi Arabia he criticized those he called neocons and interventionists saying they messed up Middle East policy what are your thoughts on all of that? Yeah he is really reacting to the Iraq war and especially not just knocking Saddam out which had its own strategic issues, but there were ways to do it. What he's really reacting to is that we sat there after the war occupied Iraq and had sort of a... We had a nation-building presence trying to rebuild Iraq which became kind of an endless bogged down situation The Iranians and Syrians were taking pot shots at us there

1:11:40 for 5,000 soldiers doing this which is a horrific price and I think that's what he's really reacting to. Even if you have to do something like what you did just now in Yemen. You go in, you send a signal, you destroy the enemy or you make it clear to them there's a huge price to pay being in conflict with the United States but don't go and take over the country have a semi-colonial presence to rebuild it and take responsibility for the country is much more important To let them do that. Let the Iranians do it, let the Iraqis do it, let the Yemeni's do it It's just something America can't do in that region We're not Middle Eastern and we don't play that game well And we stop playing that game because we can't motivate a single smart young American person to go over there and die for this nonsense anymore! We're not gonna do it

1:12:32 This is why we have Israel. Let them do it! This is why we have Saudi Arabia, let them do it and let them pay to do it by buying our stuff They have ideological problems they that is the region that they live in That's the world they live in Trump's long-winded speech in Saudi Arabia was very interesting. It was kind of interesting. It is a very good speech, it got no coverage by the mainstream media but it was quite good, well written and he was too long as usual because just the way you put up with it I'm by the way, I'm reminded of...I was thinking about this because the speech was on forever. It was a long one and i remember when he puts his arm down he's leaning on his elbow reading the teleprompter you know like oh we're in for a long one this is going to be a long speech isn't it? And so I remember the first time I went to China uh We went to the mainland and I mean I've been to Taiwan and I've been to Hong Kong but never was in China itself when I first time I went there

1:13:34 The government came out and gave us, we were a bunch of touring journalists or managers. We couldn't put the word journalist on the passport because they didn't like that. So if you go to China always...you're always a manager so you There's these guys that would come out and start lecturing us. And it was like a Chinese harangue, it would go on forever I mean you wanted to shoot yourself, this yak-yak-yak... For some reason this is Trump style. Oh interesting You can't take it after awhile It's like just end it man! But I'm with you where do I sign?

1:14:15 Let me buy that. Where do I sign? You've worn me down, salesman! You've worn me down." Well actually interestingly enough if we can move away from the Middle East for a second... The sales continue in the EU and our boy Mark Rutter has paid off Germany has now come out and said yep We're going to push it to 5% for NATO defense spending. That was the ask, continuously. Five percent and Germany just said... When did this come out? This announcement thing came out today. I'm crediting Rutte! Well of course Rutte did it! Here German Foreign Minister Johann Wadischbüll said the country was backing US President Donald Trump's call to increase the defense spending target of NATO members to five percent

1:15:15 And so before Trump, before Trump in 2016 they were weren't even putting up the 2%. Yep. Well now they got the go ahead from Queen Ursula that they can borrow the money So like okay we can borrow the money, we're good to go let's do it. And just and just and just to give him the props here is the obligatory marketer clip I really want to welcome you to Antalya for this important foreign ministers meeting and i want to thank our colleague from Turkey. Really how come? He can't say so in Dutch it's Turkay But he can't say Turkey yay for some reason so he says Turkia! Our colleague from Turkey, really Hakan thank you so much. Thank you! For making this possible and the hospitality is amazing. Oh it's amazing hospitality it was just great I had cookies in my room

1:16:06 We will have a very important meeting today in the run-up to the summit in The Hague. Oh, The Hague! You know what's happening in The Hague? The Hague is my home country... ...this is where we're going to have our big big meeting and you know what it's gonna be?! We need to discuss how to make sure that NATO will be stronger That means more defence spending It means more defence industrial production But also how to make sure that NATO is fairer That we equally distribute the burden amongst allies and that is only fair but also a NATO which is more lethal. Lethal! Not by becoming offences We need to be killing machines But by being so strong nobody will ever attack us because they know if they would

1:16:53 This defensive alliance, if we will be attacked our reaction will be devastating. That's going to... it is gonna cost a lot of money! That is what you'll discuss today how to make sure that you make a success out of the The Hague Summit It will be a splash It's a splash! Of NATO which is standing there at the world stage stronger than ever. So again, thank you for being here and now it is my honor... This guy is the most effeminate weak girly man ever and he's just walking around like a peacock Like we're the rulers of the world NATO will have all We're gonna make a splash on you We'll splash you here, we'll splash you there

1:17:34 Yeah, don't mess with us. Just make sure you pay for it." It's amazing! It's amazing that this guy can actually... That he succeeded. He got Germany to the 5%. And once Germany goes how can France stay behind? No no everybody has to go Everybody's gotta go and it's fantastic. It's great You know Ritter was there I mean Rubio was there. Rubio was with Mark Hanging out together because they're all in an Istanbul and you want to yes, right? Yes for the yeah And so I have a little bit of Marco who by the way is not to be trusted. He's a snake There's no good careful with this guy Thank you, and I think today's meeting sets up what I hope will be I believe will be a very successful leaders level meeting coming up very shortly

1:18:25 NATO has the opportunity to grow even stronger in the alliance. You know, the alliance is only as strong as its weakest link and we intend an endeavor to have no weak links in this Alliance." That's interesting! The Alliance is only as strong as it's weakest link so if someone doesn't pay up that 5% were weak for some reason? This is a interesting analogy So it's setting up nice and it's good to see you know the president has just submitted a budget for trillion dollars of defense spending which is unheard of, it's unparalleled. And it's not just spending money It's spending money on the capabilities that are needed for the threats at the 21st century. It's not just spending money this spending money for important things We need the Golden Dome all kinds of different threats that look different from the threats in the past

1:19:07 And so I think today sets up that leaders meeting which will be very productive. I also think obviously the big issue on everyone's mind is what is happening with Russia and Ukraine, the President of the United States has been abundantly clear he wants to war to end He's open to virtually any mechanism that gets us to a just enduring and lasting peace And that's what he wants to see. He wants to see an end of wars, he wants to keep war from happening The purpose of NATO is to prevent wars through its strength and that's why we want it grow stronger The purpose, let me just hear that again. I just want...that should be on his tombstone the purpose of NATO is to stop wars And that's what he wants to see He wants to see an end to wars. He wants to keep wars from happening the purpose of NATO is to prevent Wars Okay, okay Can we just write that down? That the purpose of NATO is to prevent wars in places like I know Ukraine

1:20:02 All the all the states that we expanded eastward Libya, Libya is prevent wars prevent destruction a prevented to its strength And that's why you know we want to see it grow stronger Spending levels among all partners that allow everyone to be stronger and makes the Alliance stronger and also he wants to end wars And that's the hope with Russia in Ukraine. We'll see what happens over the next couple of days in that regard, but we want to see progress made in that regard and whatever mechanism is outlined whatever the process is it needs to happen. I mean We are open to being constructive and helpful in any way we can end a conflict. Oh! And end the conflicts by spending more money on our stuff It's genius. It's just genius There will be wars and rumors of wars at all has to happen as its never going to stop That is just the world the way it is

1:20:50 There is something much more important playing out this Saturday. This Saturday is a big day when it comes to competing countries, are you aware of this? This Saturday? This Saturday! This Saturday! Saturday! Saturday! Saturday's a big thing taking place in Switzerland of all places. It's a big meeting of the creative minds. It's that time of year again World Economic Forum? Close! To Switzerland, where the first of two Eurovision Song Contest semifinals have taken place in the city of Basel. 15 countries performed on Tuesday night including Sweden, Ukraine, Azerbaijan Norway and Croatia.

1:21:47 Among the favourites were Sweden, with a catchy tribute to sauna culture. Sweden with a catchy tribute to sauna culture? And Dutch singer Claude with his emotional ballad C'est la vie. The Dutch are in the running! In total 37 countries will compete for place in Saturday's grand final I heard more about the first semi-final from our correspondent Charlotte Gallagher who's in Basel. She began by telling us how the Swedish band got on Well they did really well. They are a huge favourite here in Basel, but also currently the bookies' favourite as well which is no surprise really because if there's one thing that Sweden does really well it's writing a Eurovision banger. A Eurovision banger? John have you got a vision for a banger?! How is this even news??

1:22:40 It's lightheartedness because they of course will make it political. Next year, it's a hugely popular song. It has great staging and they're sat in the sauna so it really catches the eye. I met a lady from Stockholm earlier, Karen she was really excited and said what will it mean for Eurovision to come to Sweden again? She went it'll probably mean higher taxes for us but I'm still excited!

1:23:18 This is a big deal. We do have a lot of people listening in Europe and all Europeans, believe me the streets are quiet on Saturday night everybody is checking it out and I need your insight and your expertise as a musical What is the listener? Aficionado is what I was going to say. That's a good word These are the top three contenders I have about 30 seconds of each and I would like to get your opinion as we start off with what so I have three Entrants Ukraine, of course We still need to have the political angle Ukraine could pull in the In the the top prize because hey Ukraine right?

1:24:02 We have Sweden because they are clearly the favorites with their sauna culture and we have the Netherlands with Claude. So I give you Zifferblatt, bird of prey from Ukraine this person...I don't know if it's a dude? I don't know if it's a woman? The person looks just like Zelensky What do you think? Journey from the 70s. Yes, journey! Nailed it! Alright so you say that's a journey from the seventies not bad I think The Netherlands has an interesting entrant

1:24:56 Claude with C'est La Vie. The song is apparently in French, spoken so often in the Netherlands. But C'est La Vie is a good title because everyone knows the term C'est la vie! And you complain about our end of show mixers All right, so that's a c'est la vie. Clouche on that one! What a dog! But I think Sweden will win because they have... It's a banger. It is believe me Europe particularly the Germanic side and the Viking side they still want drinking songs They still want to go oompa-pah, oompa-pah, oompa-bah, bah, bah, oompa-pah That's what they want And I think So you can hold the beer stein up Yes and I think Sweden has it locked up

1:26:02 oh Yeah! Here it comes. Maybe sneeze? See, that's the hook. Everyone sings... This is an anthem style Yes exactly Which should catch, could win the award. You might be right! It goes... But it still sucks as bad, it's mediocre. Let the dogs out why don't you just do that? But here is the hook, it says... See the whole world will be singing this song. Yes they win

1:27:00 Okay, just to wrap this up. Which is code for get naked! Yeah here's the political angle... And what's the atmosphere been like there in Basel? Well no one likes the Jews It's very different I'd say from Malmo last year it does seem a bit more relaxed. Malmö was quite tense at times because because of the conflict in Gaza and Israel, and you felt that as soon as you got into the city. We haven't seen that yet in Basel there is a protest though tomorrow against Israels inclusion in Eurovision and also when Israel perform in the second semi-final on Thursday

1:27:36 The contestant says she expects to be booed essentially and people will be allowed to bring Palestinian flags into the arena. They weren't necessarily allowed to do that in Sweden last year, people had those flags taken off them this year they will be allowed to bring them in so I think we'll probably see the mood towards Israel and the Israeli contestant here at Eurovision on Thursday But at the moment in town, in the city centre people seem pretty happy that Eurovision's here. There are lots of turquoise flags... Yeah blah blah blah The only reason they should be against Israel is because they're not… Why are they part of Eurovision? There's nowhere near euro! This is the problem I've had

1:28:14 Won't they have a Nigerian candidate? They could if you're a member of Eurovision. That's the only reason to pro- but oh no, I've got to protest. Oh well Israel can sing songs! It's a problem it's rampant and we are fighting upstream John, we're upstream To the TikTok, you don't stop. Talk, Tik Tok! Alright time to get real Hey young people we're hip We're with the in crowd We can do TikTok, Tiktok clops I got a bunch of them I got actually five TikTok clips

1:28:57 that are all various, they're various styles. Let's start with this one here is a black woman complaining or not complaining she's trying to educate us about gingers. Gingers are no good they have no soul I just need to remind y'all again everyone who is ginger who has red hair those are black people all gingers are black people if they have red hair they are black you see a white man with red hair that's a black man You see a white woman with red hair That's a black woman Gingers are black. All gingers Wow, wow okay well that's I can write that one down That's a t-shirt by the way Gingers are black Alright

1:29:42 I'm loving this insight from TikTok. Well, that was a different woman than the one who keeps going on about how all white people are cannibals. Remember that one? It's true! Everyone knows it. Now we have of course we have the wimpy guy Like, just really a wimpy guy threatening everybody because you're MAGA. Hey MAGA! Peter Thiel Trump J.D. Vance Elon Musk Fear us We are the masses You are the 1% we are the 99%. Think about it. Think about it keyboard warrior

1:30:25 You know, it's sad because he's clearly angry. He has no other means to show his anger other than speaking into the deep void on TikTok to people like you So I feel for these people. I feel bad for this guy. I'm in the minority. I'm inside the majority. You're in the minority on this What do you mean? Oh, no! I feel bad for all these people. you know, that they calm down and they... And this is not happening. Eventually it will one day it will Let's go to Department of Education nut. Good morning, it's Monday I have a question for those that have voted for this administration Did you vote for? The department education be taken out Yeah, let me check yeah. Yeah, I did yes Dismantled did you vote for that yep? Yes curious um I'm sure you wanted him to change things but dismantling a department that helps your children

1:31:26 You mean the department that puts those books into my children's schools? No, I'm pretty sure that I voted against that. a lot of people. Putting it with the states is not the answer, especially if the states don't have income taxes and if they're gonna start taking those away too like... Hold on second we have a state that doesn't have income taxes We have some of the most beautiful roads Some of the best infrastructure It's uh.. They get-we get taxed in other ways for sure But I think you're wrong on this TikTok gal Our children will hurt for this. They want to take away abortion, they... This is a great phrase! They want to take away abortion. Take it away!!! Our children will hurt for this. They want to take away abortion Well if you don't take away abortion that's when the children will really hurt for this You know they get aborted If you have a baby you got to take care of if they don't help you there

1:32:26 Then you take away education support. I just, I'm curious what's your mastermind thought plan? And if it's good as is then whatever have a great day." But this is just people who are grossly misinformed that's all she doesn't even understand how an income taxless state like Texas works or Nevada or others did... Just doesn't seem to understand it and she I don't know if she has children If she had children... What do you think? Probably not. So, she's just under-informed and a little over socialized. You can make excuses all you want for these people but here we are... I'm not making excuses! I have compassion for them because I feel bad. Yeah, I don't. Okay. Well it's okay that you don't need to shut me down just because i have compassion for them No, this is the

1:33:18 Toxic empathy is what you have. Oh no, oh no there's no empathy! Empathy is something completely different there's no empathy here No sir It is compassion not empathy Toxic compassion Is what you have Toxic compassion? Here we go The only one whose toxic is YOU Which ones? Here we go with the idiot leaving the United States Okay so since Trump won the election We're cooked ya'll I'm gonna be leaving the US and i'm going to be moving to Hawaii So we'll see how it goes. And I'll update you guys." Again, someone who has not been educated and completely over-socialized who does not understand the United States includes Hawaii! That is a kicker. You should have held that one for last unless this is the best of the bunch. No they're all good but this one... This was not... That may have been the best but let's try this one. It was pretty good. I just saw his video

1:34:17 I mean, I've been seeing a lot of videos. You need to set this up. I don't know what's happening What's going on with this? Okay here is the woman crying and she's letting it be known that this is the way everyone must be feeling because she is you know if your feeling a certain way because of Trump Obviously everybody's feeling that way. And so she's eliciting kind of like a, hoping I guess but yeah yeah we should overthrow the government and I'm not sure what the goal is this. Overthrow the government? Okay! Yeah...I'm all for it let's do it Let's do it.

1:35:04 watching the horror happen. The horror of so many people around you that either have no idea, don't care or are pretending it's not and like you're crazy and you're just a conspiracy theorist and you're just insane and you've just started too dramatic and you seem to calm down and you just need to shut the fuck up but you want to help and there's nothing you can do because if you don't have money, you don't billions of dollars I don't have any dollars than i can spare frankly like truly But that's the only thing that seems to kind of make a difference. And you can't even do that! You can't even do that? You could only speak, and now we can't even speak?! Um... So watch and cry it is I guess

1:35:45 You know the worse it gets. It's not like the quieter I want to get though It's it's the angrier I get the louder, I want to be I've just been screaming for so long that I'm not sure Who have even? Talking to anymore who's left That still what else do you need to see oh? No there's lots of you left There's a lot So and think the reason I have compassion for these people we have a family member who does this on tik-tok Exactly this and it's it is I can tell because I know this family member that it is. It's an outlet in The feedback is important like yeah, you're right on your spot on yes. I'm with you. I am also crying I'm also worried. I'm also scared these people are scared because

1:36:36 These dark media forces have scared them to no wits end about stuff. They can't... she did in a minute and 15, she didn't even say what she's scared of It was just scared She's scared of people, she's scared, scared So this is just it's just that's real That's probably the realist clip that you played of the bunch This really happens and people need this feedback because no one else in their right mind can have a conversation with them. That's for sure! And so the algos put those people together, they see more people saying this and they believe that the whole world is like them. That is the true genius of TikTok is that whatever you're into, you're going to get a lot of it all the time It's not just going to switch all of a sudden midstream

1:37:27 And so in that regard, she needs to get off the internet. She needs to get off her TikTok for sure. None of those kids really had phones by the way at the high school three. Three had a smartphone. Well that was... That's new information that needed to be discussed? Oh yeah! In fact, the most common phrase heard from their parents So they have phones They have like flip phones and other phones But nothing now they have computers at home and so they can go on YouTube. Okay The most common phrase heard is you can have a smartphone as a wedding present And that's the attitude of the parents here in Fredericksburg, which I think is good thing and they all wear uniforms It was nice Oh You went to a school that where there were uniform almost all the schools here have uniforms? I think even the public school may have a uniform. I think oh

1:38:27 Yeah, I'm for that. I always liked that when we were in England and Christina went to school uniform You know it takes away a lot of issues you know you don't have the cooler kicks on or whatever Everyone's got the same the same duds now. I'm for that you against that you don't like uniforms at school Well, I've never went to us. I've never gone to a school that had uniforms ever and I don't know anybody who did except you um So I can't say one way or the other. I think that theoretically in some situations it would be a good idea, but then again it's kind of militaristic No, yeah, it's only militaristic Hmm so no agenda millennial and the troll room says kids don't have phones But they have Adam Curry speak what the F kind of school is that okay? This is what's happening John we're alienating everybody even the know-agenda Millennials

1:39:27 I don't think we've alienated any no agenda millennials. Oh, the no agenda millennial literally just said that yeah but that's it still is did he quit? I quit! I'm off! I'm quitting the chatroom and never hear from me again No they would never do that because you know that's there that's where they get their feedback That's...they need that They NEED the troll room They need it It's part of their DNA So here's a TikTok crowd for The Elites A different venue to complain about America and Donald Trump, and guess where that is? Cannes baby! In France. The 78th Cannes Film Festival opened on Tuesday bringing together the world's most famous cinema personalities to celebrate another year of storytelling Day one featured a star-studded lineup from world renowned filmmaker Quentin Tarantino to supermodel Bella Hadid

1:40:19 American actors Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro, who've worked alongside each other on three occasions stole the show on the opening day. DiCaprio who skipped the red carpet awarded veteran 81-year old De Niro with an honorary Palme d'Or But every once in a while even the most private of giants deserves their moment A moment to be acknowledged, not just for their work but for the quiet lasting influence they've had on so many lives. We are so important everybody we...we...we are important to you On my life So without trying to speak for the entire world of cinema here tonight but probably doing it anyway

1:41:02 There is no one more deserving of this Pomdor Lifetime Achievement Award. Who is no more deserving to achieve for this Pomdor lifetime achievement award? Who is no more deserving? None of them Can you give me a name? De Niro got it, didn't he? Mr Robert De Niro De Niro, an outspoken critic of Donald Trump quickly shifted the moment to politics as he slammed the US president for his administration's attacks on arts and culture. America's Philistine President has had himself appointed head of one our premier cultural institutions He has cut funding and support to the arts humanities and education And now he is announced a 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S

1:41:54 Let that sink in stop the clip for a second couple of things Philistine was funny couple of things to note. Why is the government supporting? The arts it's did the government you don't want the government involved It seems to me because they're gonna try to influence one way or the other so I would say you are correct The second thing is, the reason about taxing foreign films was as which was not fully understood by me when I first heard about it. Is to keep the business in the United States and help locals make money have the people in Los Angeles, the Angelenos and the people of New York he's got a studio that he built in New York City with his buddy they build a giant

1:42:42 soundstage, De Niro did and the idea is to keep the business there and to keep the business in Hollywood. So what's wrong with that exactly? What's wrong is was wrong between the ears of Mr. De Niro who I guess he gets accolades for doing this He has taken every opportunity at every award show for the past eight years maybe longer To do this at award shows like I'm gonna show him Hold my beer. If you're the award show guys, I'd have to say I probably do it

1:43:21 Your awards show guys said, well you know our awards aren't getting any attention. What are we going to do? No one ever pays attention to the con palm door! Well no one's it's never been televised that I know of. The palm door especially the Lifetime Achievement Award which who knows who got it. You name one person has gotten it before I can think a one but your original point is spot-on. You don't want...you don't actually want for the obvious reasons, but here they are complaining because said the millionaire De Niro. Well I'm not making enough money now! I guess what else is he saying? Because he's saying that they're cutting the money off that's no good or is he saying because I hear a lot of this too like so here I am rich rich director producer

1:44:12 Movie star I presume he's rich. I have no idea but no, you've got plenty He's got plenty of money You would think he does what? He's kind of saying is all those little unsuccessful people get no chance like me That's what I mean It's very an elitist position to take it's like well all the things that are not sponsored, you know It's almost like and like the music business, you know, it's like ha the little people they have No chance they can't get on the radio They can't get on Spotify It's it's an elitist position. He happens to be a very good actor and I think a decent director He's produced a lot of things which means he put his money into it. I don't know. He's directed anything I think he's directed some things but even that series I watched on I think Netflix was you know about him being present was good And I watched it because I wanted to rid myself of bias, and I'm very I'm very able to separate the arts and His art from him the person

1:45:10 But remember, this is the guy who literally was saying what Robert Kennedy Jr. is saying now about the MMR vaccine and has a child with it and all this stuff It's just dark forces Hollywood must be controlled by Satan And support to the arts, humanities and education Now he has announced 100% tariff on films produced outside of the US Let that sink in for a minute. Okay, I'm letting it sink in because he's outside the US He's trying to curry favor determine to crib for decoying a term With the foreign audience fully well knowing that if you want to be successful in the film business You need the American audience

1:45:56 You can't put a price on creativity, but apparently you can put it... Well why don't you work for 10 bucks or scale then? It's creativity. Can't put a price on it as long as its $10 million dollars of film! You can't put a price on creativity but apparently you can put a tariff on it. Of course this is unacceptable All these attacks are unacceptable. The opening ceremony concludes... Yeah, unacceptable. Poor Robert! He made a bad deal. That's what happened he made a bad, bad deal and he can't get out of it. He has to stay stuck in that. So Jake Tapper is out with his book. He's shopping it around have you had a chance to read his book?

1:46:46 No, I have not. Have you? Of course not! But it's about... of course not! They did not send me an advance copy so how could i read it?! They didn't ask me to do a blurb So what can I say otherwise I would have been like best analysis of the Biden presidency ever. So here he is... I don't have the clips, but at least as a good it but i will say this that Fox in particular are spiking the ball because they were on to Biden being seen out old fart forever and so they have found every clip from Tapper's past that they can.

1:47:27 Well, there's the one about with Laura Trump but there's a ton more. I have a ton more! Well let's play them! Well you want that or do you want to hear the promotion of the book first? I want to hear the clips first, then the promotion of the book. and

1:48:21 of those supporting Biden, you said quote shame on all of you pretending everything is okay. You're leading us and him into a disaster do you worry that you damaged him at all? I don't doubt that that you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly some of them because they like you personally but i've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about you from your democratic colleagues sure i mean just like What is he thinking? Exercise in narcissism. I mean, false claims to the Wall Street Journal about President Biden's mental fitness and acuity. He's 81. False claims! And his memory... you know it doesn't seem great it's not horrible but I don't understand the outrage. Quote behind closed doors Biden shows signs of slipping unquote The Wall Street Journal was owned by News Corp which is run by

1:49:05 the Any concerns from anyone who has met with President Biden about him seeming a little slower? No. The Russians are trying to do, to make us and the public not trust our election integrity Joe Biden has dementia and all this stuff It's all crazy! Jake Tapper on the defense for years And now years and years he did this continually. Laura Trump is still demanding an apology, he brought it. He's the one who promoted the stuttering idea. And as somebody pointed out we've noticed this too never stuttered before. Never had a stutter in his maybe when he was three but he never stuttered throughout his career as a senator or even the vice president. Now all of a sudden he's a stutterer

1:50:04 You know, so Jake Tapper's a big phony. Well what's amazing is how Jake Tapper can get up in the morning and shave and look at himself and think yeah I wrote a good book! A new book is outlining new claims about former President Biden's physical and mental health the book original sin, claims Biden's health had become so severe that there were internal discussions about putting the president in a wheelchair after the election. They started putting aids around him as he walked to Marine One, the helicopter that was kind of hide from public view how bad his gait was, how bad his walking was. At a fundraiser last year with actor George Clooney the authors claim Biden seemed severely diminished and did not recognize Clooney despite Biden knowing him for decades according to the book former President Obama also at that fundraiser had difficulty making sense of Biden's behavior and blamed Biden's busy schedule but the authors say Obama would come to realize that scheduling was not

1:50:59 fundamental problem. A Biden spokesperson refutes the book saying, we continue to await anything that shows where Joe Biden had to make a presidential decision or where national security was threatened or where he was unable to do his job. In fact, the evidence points to the opposite. He was a very effective president last week Biden and the former first lady pushed back against a slate of new books claiming he was dealing with cognitive decline at the end of his presidency. Nothing to sustain that. The people who wrote those books were not in the White House with us, and they didn't see how hard Joe worked every single day. A Biden spokesperson says the authors did not fact check the book with them. That's the best part. He didn't fact check it man! None of its true this is just amazing

1:51:49 Did ABC Good Morning America call them out for like, hey everyone defended this sharp as attack over and over. And now oh is it great? Does ABC own a publishing company like CBS does is that possible I think they do but I don't think that's the group that brought the book out. It's I was yeah Well, there's a couple of different things here. Continue and I'll bring it up. All I was going to say was they should stop all of this is just elder abuse the guy's over he's done He's like let him just leave the guy be Here's the problem. Here's the problem. I have The 25th Amendment

1:52:25 doesn't work. It doesn't do Jack, it's pretty obvious it wasn't from the last month of this administration we saw when he is wandering around going into the jungle and loses his train of thought constantly losing his train of thought then screaming dignity! And one thing or another and obviously other people were running to White House and there was the auto pen signing documents The 25th Amendment is a fraud. It doesn't work, it's never going to get executed there has to be a coup

1:53:02 What do you recommend? I don't know. I think it has to go to Congress or somebody, or some other forum. The Congress could impeach but that's no good because it is pretty almost impossible in this day and age. We know that doesn't work. Well, it won't work because you can't get enough people in the Senate because you need like 60 or 70 people who say yes and that's not going to happen. And...I don't know! All I have idea all I know is that the 25th Amendment is a fraud It was put in place because of Wilson and this situation would have been the one where it should have been executed, but nobody's going to bring themselves to do it. Well government is a fraud in that regard then. It's a governmental amendment you know the Senate and the Cabinet they can they can do this but they don't because they were running... And their not going to ever! No cause they were running the show when they loved it Anthony Blinken Where's Anthony by the way? What's he doing

1:54:01 Does he have his consulting business up and running yet? Oh, he's probably working for some think tank. He'll be back. So of all the big news that the president had, which is you know trillions well no he had 600 billion dollars in deals everywhere deals of course we're going to spend a trillion we heard on defense which is a good 100-200 billion more than the last completely waste of money for an operation can't be audited The last big beautiful bill But I think the drug price executive order was big news because outside Congress,

1:54:46 is very hesitant to ever do anything against insurance companies and of course the unspoken of middlemen, the pharmacy benefit managers. And President Trump did just a beautiful job of explaining how massive the scam is of the overpayment we make in the United States With the insurance and drug companies and the pharmacy benefit managers Where your copay is basically what every other country in the world pays for something, but somehow you got screwed And you're still paying premiums for something that does nothing for you. Yeah, and you have to pay the drug price too! The premiums just go into somebody's pocket. That is like stealing. It is completely stealing of course insurance companies really are nothing more or less than banks and that's why everyone is deathly afraid of them they don't do anything but President Trump brought it to the people

1:55:43 And he explained very well what was going on. I thought this was probably one of the best things he's ever done when it comes to explaining the problem. I brought it up with a drug companies represented by somebody who is very, very... I'm sorry wrong one here. I mean I'll tell you a story friend of mine who's a businessman very, very top guy most of you would have heard him. Yep highly neurotic Who? What fat neurotic guy do we know that's very successful? Who could this be? Plenty of them. Brilliant businessmen seriously overweight and he takes the fat shot. The fat shot! Everybody loved this, the fat shot! He's taking the fat shot! And he called me up and said

1:56:30 President, he calls me president. He used to call me Donald now he calls me president so that's nice respect but is a rough guy smart guy? Rough guy Very successful I wouldn't even know how we would know this because he has got comments President could i ask you question what? I'm in London And I just paid for this damn fat drug, I take. I said it's not working." I love that Trump throws that in! It's not working right? Is that the problem is not work- No man is too ex- I'm a billionaire, it's too expensive this fat shot He said... he said.. I just paid $88 and in New York I pay $1300 what the hell is going on?! He said so I checked

1:57:13 And it's the same box, made in the same plant by the same company. It's the identical pill that I buy in New York... Hey hold on a second! It was a shot now it's a pill? Yeah there were- There was a bunch of people who jumped on that That's interesting Do you think that was just an oversight on his part he just made a mistake Yeah, he's winging it this story. He's doing schtick! This is not rehearsed most of his material that's funny is just off the cuff and he's working it yeah And its the same box made in the same plant by the same company It's the identical pill that I buy in New York and here I'm paying $88 dollars in London

1:58:01 In New York, I'm paying $1300. Now this is a great businessman so but he's not familiar with this crazy situation that we have but he was stunned. Stunned? He was stunned and so then what does our president do? He goes and talks to the drug companies Hey! Hey drug man The fat shot why is it so cheap over there and so expensive over here? I brought it up with the drug companies represented by somebody who's very very smart good person too And we argued about it for about half hour and then finally he just said, because they can't justify it. He just said, look. Look you got me. You got me. Yeah, he got me. Press. You got me? It's like a couple of gangsters around the table. Hey man how come that vigor is so high? Hey Mario! You got me?! I can no longer justify it. They've been justifying this crap for years they said oh its research and development. Well research and development other countries should pay research in development too its for their benefit

1:59:02 It was just one of those things, and the other countries would set a price. And they'd meet the price and they'd say if you don't meet the price you can't sell it in our country I said well then you walk away and you know They'll call your back and they'll sell it in the country but now they have to do that So for the first time in many years we will slash the cost of prescription drugs We will bring fairness to America Drug prices will come down by much more really if you think 59, if you think of a drug that is sometimes 10 times more expensive it's much more than the 59% and depends on the way you want to analyze but in one way you could analyze it that way. But between 59 and 80 I guess even 90%. So when I worked so hard on the first

1:59:51 term and if I got prices down, remember? I was the only one to ever get prices down for a full year. But I'd get them down like 2% and I thought it was like a big deal while we're getting them down 60 70 80 90 percent. So have you read the executive order about this? No, you have it right there though. Of course I do! There's a couple of things that are of note and this kind of flows into another freakout not here in Fred of course Another freak out is about Medicare That big beautiful bill because they never really explained this part

2:00:28 The big beautiful bill will have, you know, Medicare steep cuts. Here actually I'll play this. House Speaker Mike Johnson today working to solve Republican in party fighting as their proposed cuts to Medicaid divide the party late Sunday Johnson unveiling their plan to cut hundreds of billions of dollars to Medicaid fueling concerns it It would leave millions of low-income and disabled Americans without care. You're gonna die! I continue to maintain my position we should not be cutting Medicaid benefits Republican Senator Josh Hawley yesterday with an op ed in the New York Times writing if Congress cuts funding for Medicaid benefits Missouri workers and their children will lose their health care, and hospitals will close it's that simple And that pattern will replicate in states across the country I love how hospitals will close has nothing to do with hospitals

2:01:17 But Hawley is jumping on the bandwagon and he's wrong in this case because the numbers add up if you look at what's happening here. We are struggling with rural health care coverage, and Republicans we need to be making that better not worse. Protesters today blocking the doors to one of the hearings on Capitol Hill where members of Congress dissected proposed cuts A critical piece of the big beautiful bill President Trump has been asking for to fund his agenda. With the one big, beautiful bill we can ignite the second Trump economic boom and improve the lives of millions of our neighbors back home If the cuts are approved it would go against what Trump said back in February Can you guarantee that Medicare Medicaid Social Security will not be touched? Yeah I mean i have said it so many times You shouldn't be asking me that question Okay

2:02:05 This will not be read my lips. It won't be read by lips anymore, we're not gonna touch it. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer says the cuts would slash Medicaid more than ever before. It's cruel, its heartbreaking, senate democrats will continue to expose this devastating plan and fight for American families blah blah blah So, the whole point of the executive order which of course is an executive order so if it doesn't turn into legislation at some point it goes away but the whole point is you can slash money from the Medicaid budget because Medicaid is overpaying for all these drugs because of course Medicaid pays pretty much full price

2:02:49 what the insurance companies have, you know and the pharmacy benefit managers have jacked this all up to. But President Trump's executive order is to make it a most favored nation pricing and there's a whole bunch of existing laws on the books like the Sherman Act and all kinds of stuff where this can be done so that Medicaid will have to pay a lot less no one will actually lose anything that's the theory at least No one will lose any medicines They will just be cheaper to the United States government and the United States people. But the real gotcha in here is Section 4, enabling direct-to-consumer sales to American patients at the most favored nation price."

2:03:31 to the extent consistent with the law, the Secretary of Health and Human Services Bobby V. Upp shall facilitate direct-to-consumer purchasing programs for pharmaceutical manufacturers that sell their products to American patients at the most favored nation price." So you will finally be able to buy your medication at a normal price which most of you are already doing from India! From any other place That's the big gotcha here You know, if you look for ivermectin... ...you can get 2,000 ivermectin pills for like 50 bucks from India. If you can buy it in America, it's going to be hundreds of dollars! So he has really put a bypass here that also goes for hospitals and pharmacies etc., where you can get your stuff at most favored nation pricing and go around the system I think its long overdue

2:04:30 And everything else is just bullcrap. Okay, I don't have anything to add to that? No there's nothing to add! Just staying with Pharma for one minute...I told you it was coming that the Deutsche Lady she had her commission the Pfizer Commission they investigated what happened with Pfizer and Ursula and the text messages and they've figured it all out And nothing will happen. and

2:05:38 thought that this message did not include important information. So these need to be clarified and also in a way we can see that in general there is still a lot of secrecy around these, we still don't know it's stil unclear if this message were deleted as the court say were deleted on purpose automatically what happened there so in our opinion since the beginning text messages should be included. The court It criticized the Commission for failing to provide credible evidence to explain why it was unable to provide these text messages at the request of a journalist from The New York Times. In addition, the judges considered that the institution was unable to clearly specify whether or not these text messages had been deleted."

2:06:20 The Commission remains unclear on this issue. The Commission considers that the judgment does not call into question the procedures for registering documents, but rather a lack of explanation. It interprets the court decision as an indication that it will have to justify itself better in the future." Oh! You know they deleted themselves... you know? That's just what happens. And Ursula just waffs away no problem She is going to walk away with no problem anyway

2:07:08 There is of course somewhere there's a record of these text messages. Yeah, the NSA has it I'm sure the NSA does have it. Somebody has it so well I'm glad that German lady did all that work for nothing Nothing nothing nothing comes out of these things they corrupt corrupt R.F.K., Jr.? I got one clip from the hearing, they were grilling him left and right, R.F.K., Jr.'s in front of Congress... What was it all about? Was it just a... Because he's a bad guy! They're trying to get rid of him and so they they're trying to embarrass them, they can't do it, they try to contradict him that clip that was what

2:08:00 We talked about a couple of shows ago, the guy who headed one of the committees is supposed to be running Kennedy. Oh yeah! Yeah I'm in charge of him by own him he has to talk to me every month that guy? Yeah that guy so they he's got a couple of compatriots are all Democrats these Democrats mean they loved Kennedy until it became a Republican this is really simple But let's listen to him go, this is a... it went on with all of them but especially the Democrats. The Republicans were fine but the Democrats kept trying to You know, they're pushing vaccines. Oh the measles thing here had two dead kids! My God and we had 20 shootings in Oakland doesn't matter but these two dead kids somewhere in Texas... No no they're black it doesn't matter this it doesn't matter so uh So here's one of the back and forths Health Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr says that reducing dependency on China for critical medicines is a priority for him and the Trump administration NTD correspondent Jason Blair has more from Kennedy's testimony on Capitol Hill

2:09:03 They're directly and narrowly focused on creating dominance across the globe. During a House committee meeting, HHS Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr agreed when asked if over relying on China for critical pharmaceuticals poses a threat. We saw the problem with supply chain control by the Chinese during COVID. And this is a priority for me and for this administration. RFK Jr says that they've been working hard to bring more medicine production into and that he's been meeting with pharmaceutical CEOs. I've met repeatedly with Eli Lilly, which is now building nine facilities, nine factories in this country. Kennedy says that China also has a program called the Thousand Talents Program that is designed to steal US IP and technology. And we have facilitated that at NIH

2:09:54 I'm funding Chinese scientists with contracts that don't require them even to report their science back to our country, but they give it directly. They're Chinese military scientists! on bioweapons research that we gave him the technology for. After testifying in front of the House Appropriations Committee, Kennedy was a witness in a second hearing in front of the Senate. He was interrupted by protesters during his opening statement. The witness will suspend and the committee will come to order. Tina told me that the guy from Ben & Jerry's was protesting?

2:10:30 I don't get the protests at all. What are they protesting against? I don't get it, seems like a plant to me but then he did best clips or these which is Chris Murphy comes on and he starts asking Kennedy a bunch of pointed questions and Chris Murphy's a showboater from Connecticut we He shows up a lot, he's trying to become president. He sucks! He's stupid and here he goes into it this is the Chris Murphy series this is him talking to Kennedy That is not what happened you've done the opposite You canceled 12 billion dollars in grants to the states including my state that are used to administer and track vaccines

2:11:08 You promised Chairman Cassidy. When did I do that? Madam Chair, would you allow me to finish my question? Let me let me let me finish my question. Just tell me when I did it so I can understand what the question is. You have canceled 12 billion dollars in public health grants to states, whether you know this or not. That funding is used by the states in part to be able to administer and dispense information about vaccines. Why does it take 12 billion dollars to administer information about vaccines? Hey I'll take 1 billion and talk about it three hours long twice a week

2:11:56 It's unbelievable. That is just scam obviously for one state, but could he answer the question about it? Did he even know why had been canceled? Well it continues pretty much in order so here we comes Mr Secretary let me give you the full panoply of things you said before this committee that didn't turn out to be true You also promised Chairman Cassidy that the FDA would not change vaccine standards from, quote, historical norms. But what happened as soon as you were sworn in? You announced new standards for vaccine approvals that you proudly referred to in your own press release as a radical departure from current practice and experts say that that departure will delay approvals. He also said specific to the measles vaccine that you support the measles vaccine

2:12:47 But you have consistently been undermining the measles vaccine. You told the public that the vaccine wanes very quickly, he went on The Dr Phil Show and said that the measles vaccine was never fully tested for safety. He said there's fetal debris in the measles vaccine and this morning- All true! Do you want me to lie to the public? That's not none of that is it? Of course its true Let's have a little bit of order so that you can get your I didn't ask for response yet. I'd like to lay out the predicate on my question before i'm interrupted by the witness he should have some respect for this committee By the way, um The Ben and Jerrys guy ben ben gohen

2:13:38 He was kicked out of the hearing with Robert Kennedy Jr. for protesting Congress's funding of the Israeli military. Did he? He went to the wrong hearing somehow! Oh, that's funny... It's like a Woody Allen movie Yeah, exactly. So we wrap it with this one just this morning in front of the House of Representatives you also said that you in fact would not recommend that kids get vaccinated for measles You said you would just lay out the pros and cons Okay so this is the summation of everything that you have said

2:14:17 to compromise people's faith in the measles vaccine, in particular. It is contrary to what you said before this committee. You said you support the measles vaccine but then you have laid out a set of facts that are contested and I will submit information for the record from experts who can test what you've said about the vaccine and the result is to undermine faith in vaccines kind of like saying listen I think you should swim in that lake But you know the lake is probably toxic and there's probably a ton of snakes and alligators in that Lake, but I think you should swim in it Nobody's gonna swim in that lake if that's what you say And so I want you to acknowledge that when you say you support The measles vaccine and then go out and repeatedly undermine the vaccine with information That is contested by public health experts. That is not supporting the vaccine and so I guess I have two simple questions for you one is

2:15:08 Can you clarify what you said in the House this morning? Are you or are you not recommending that families get their children vaccinated, or are you just giving people the pros and cons. And do you understand that when you say these things about the measles vaccine what ends up happening is less people get the vaccine. That may be what you want but But do you understand that the result of constantly questioning the efficacy or safety of a vaccine results in less people getting vaccines? So I don't necessarily want to spend the remaining 20 seconds in an argument over this science, but can you at least understand that's the consequence of what you're saying and are you actually still recommending people get the vaccine or are you not.

2:15:49 Senator, if I advise you to swim in a lake then I knew there'd be alligators and wouldn't you want me to tell you there were alligators in it? So are you recommending the measles vaccine or not? What I've said... Doesn't sound like you are. Are you going to let me answer? Or are you gonna keep interrupting? Are you gonna let me answer? What I pledge before this committee when I during my confirmation is that I would tell the truth and I would have radical transparency. I'm gonna tell the truth about everything we know and we don't know about Are you recommending the measles vaccine? I am not going to just tell people everything is safe and effective if I know there's issues, I need to respect people's intelligence. Thank You for answering the question Wow! I don't think I saw that clip on mainstream news. I wonder why

2:16:38 I have a lot of really good clips about Big Pharma because outside of the military industrial complex, which runs a lot. That is probably number two they certainly run the media but before we do that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the caravan of camels. Say hello to my friend on the other end! The one and only Mr John C. DeWaar! Yeah well good morning to you Mr Adam Crane, good morning to Shepard Skewbwoods, thank Rafi and the Air Subs DeWaar names nice out there And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room Hello there trolls how ya doin? How are you rockin'? How are you rollin'?! Hello! Oh we don't have a peak troll count for some reason why is that now

2:17:20 Always something. It's always something we're around 1500 right now, but usually it's probably around 18 1900 Interesting didn't show up anyway the trolls are there the trolls are very cynical I've noticed I've been paying attention to them today They're like It's all performative. No one cares, these people are no good... we're all gonna die... blah blah blah They have no joy! Where is your joy in chaos trolls? it's all good it's all good really is everything's going to be fine this is a show put on for your benefit its just a show Bobby the Op is right I'm not gonna tell you swim in the lake if there's alligators and that I'm not gonna do that

2:18:09 So the trolls are in the troll room, trollroom.io if you want to go in there and be beating around like you're in a bouncy ball filling one of those ball bins with kids that's a good place to go and of course you can listen to the live stream or use a modern podcast app Fountain by the way is coming out with a new version where you can boost with dollars right from the app did I tell you that already? Yeah, you did last show. Oh okay yeah You went on and on about it. Yeah because that's what I've been... Ever since Apple made the change where you can have an alternative payment method in your app because that was the whole thing is you can't do it now

2:18:46 No, they lost that big epic court case and the judge excoriated them. So they have to allow buttons and links in apps that do not use the Apple in-app payment system ie Apple gets 30% of it so that's good news is good news for freedom John Freedom! Freedom, baby. Screw ya freedom That's right it's a good day for freedom and of course you also with those modern podcast apps at podcastapps.com yeah you can get the bat signal when we go live many of these shows go live any and you'll know it because it's all on Knowage in the stream

2:19:25 Everything is all there. You get the chapters, you get all kinds of groovy stuff and of course when we post the show within 90 seconds these modern apps know about it don't spend hours of your time wasting around waiting for Apple to update is just not worth it Value for value is how we hope to continue with this podcast, which means if you get anything out of the program and you feel like I got a good stock tip. I learned something that I can impress my family with...I felt better! I just felt better because they don't feel all spun up about all the nonsense being thrown at me 24-7 online and on cable and over the air even

2:20:05 Well then just send something back to us. Time, talent or treasure you can do any version of that that you want We have artists who love sending us their talents and their time by making artwork that we can choose right after the show they do it live while were on the air which is very impressive They use a variety of tools And it's clear that the tool of choice, although expertly applied was artificial intelligence generative AI. For the episode 1763 which is on Sunday we titled that AI factory We were contemplating doing a one factory to stay online with our fine Secretary of Education but we decided against that because we thought people probably look at and think that we were the dopes

2:20:52 And not the Secretary of Education. It's a fine line, very fine line however Francisco Scaramanga I mean we went way off base we're traditionalists when it comes to holidays and observances for veterans or for Christmas or Easter and Mother's Day has always been kind of sacred for us and we veered off the path No What do you mean no? We went over this and over this and over this, and I came... You! Yes you. I said I like this piece and you said it was gruesome which is a rule No no, I said does it apply to the gruesome rule? Can we apply that to this piece of art? The gruesome rule I think was in play And so I looked at it and I think its hilarious pieces very funny It's by the way there are..I will say this There's a bunch of these AI art pieces that come out dingy

2:21:51 Yeah, dingy and this is God does somebody's got to fix this Art is dingy. We had this the last couple of pieces came out dingy in other words there just a white they're doing the The dynamic range of the piece is minimal well as muddy look because it's a photocopy of something else Well, who knows what it is? Yes, but the piece I really liked was happy Mother's Day by Darren O'Neill with the with the flying mom You're not an NPC. Yeah, I was pushing that at the end But then you because I had oh No And this is gonna be your fault

2:22:31 And you insisted that we take this horrible piece by Scaramanga. Oh, you are turning history around! I'm telling the story of a pregnant mom and the kid in a body suit with a package as you put it... ...and then poor girl with eyes got poked I mean, it's just a tremendously gross piece. From now on, I'm taping our conversations about art so that I can play back the truth! You said you love this piece and this is great piece and I said...I said no, this is horrible And by the way, the kid has a huge package This is weird, this is not good That's what I said, that's what he said But you were pushing for this? You weren't pushing for anything else He was like, this is the one man, this is it This is the one

2:23:16 And you said Francisco Scaramanga is great. I heard you say it! I heard you say it. He is great, he's great but so is Darren. Darren is very good! Actually used the mom with the flying... The Flying Mom as a Bat-Signal piece of art. I like that as well however It was Francisco Scaramanga who scores once again with his Kegger for Mom Art That's what the title is And I'm just looking to see if there was anything.. I think I pushed maybe for one other Mother's Day No There really wasn't...it was weak Yes, and a lot of the art is dingy. You're right you're so right about that That's an interesting observation A lot of Pope a lot of Pope stuff a lot of raw dog and a lot of raw probably notice this more with this would not This piece but the one little aspies would look good on the art generator But then when it showed up on there, it was in G didn't have any white yeah, yes Not waiting contrast was much was minimized

2:24:16 And they said the scary manga piece is probably the worst example of this. There is no dynamic range No, but don't worry we'll fix it once we have more compute Just try a different system I had lunch with a new guy in town He's will be younger than me which was nice everyone just a little bit older than me wait wait How did this come about? Oh, they moved you. You just walking down the street and just had lunch with some rando? No he actually does the mixing at church for the worship team which is Christianese for band And he's a musician so he plays guitar but he's doing all of the mixing and finally it's starting to sound good It really sounds good He is a sales guy for the hyperscalers

2:25:05 And so he said, I won't mention his company but they sell AI products and they sell products where you can select the model you want. So this is great. So we go out to lunch have a little chat and i say what do you think of this AI? You know, people in the industry are saying like this is like jet travel. This changes everything he says this is bullcrap He says it's all still machine learning and it's pretty good at it But there's no... Like me? He says there's no intelligence in this artificial intelligence Zero zero... He says we're not even a 0.1% of anything intelligent Now if you give it structured data And you want to sift through it and find things and categorize Yeah that's machine learning It's machine learning That's where we were

2:25:51 before the AI hype took off. Then it took off because people like Scaramanga can make this stuff and we're gobsmacked, like wow! This is great how did you do that? Or you could make a country song because all the AI generators only make country songs You notice that? Oh man I made a great song with AI It's always a country song So he agrees with me it's just a parlor trick That made me feel very good I paid for lunch Good to go. Wow, he got you! What else do you want me to say that I agree with? Hey a big $49 check at Werner's Cafe... 49 bucks for lunch is a lot It's Fredericksburg baby it's better to eat at home here For two people two sandwiches two drinks and pie 49 bucks is kind of what do you pay for in California for that

2:26:45 Three dollars and fifty cents. Okay, all right I'm moving to Cali they'll tax you on the back end don't worry They make it up in volume So thank you very much Francisco Scaramanga Thank you to all of our artists who diligently participate in this wacky contest at no agenda art generator calm We really do appreciate what you do Now to the donations, it'll be a quick list and of course I've been grousing about this because this is the lowest that's been in a long time. I want to point out that this is the only gig we have so you know and this is a full-time job and it's not so much about executive producers or associate executive producers... It's really nice but where are the people who just appreciate us and just give us five bucks a show?

2:27:32 That's what I'm missing. Well the over 50s today Yeah, in other words everybody including associate executive producers and people paid over 50 is a total grand total of 28 people Since the newsletter is 29 thousand something this is less than one person Per thousand that's the news there we have about eight hundred thousand two million listeners well I'm gonna take it all right now. Don't take a look at that an only twenty-eight people. That's telling me something, that's telling us... It is telling us that they're listening we still have the terabytes flowing from the servers Well here I have in April we had 743 thousand unique listeners

2:28:25 That's down. It is down, it was down from about 800... 850-860 we used to be floating around in a bump. We're on our way out baby! We're old, we're yesterdays news. Not enough TikTok clips is the reason. Wrap us in fish I mean there's nothing were just all bunch of old boomers gotta play one tick. Old boomers nobody cares yeah so maybe you played tik tok clips anyway We do like doing this by the way. I have to say the tick-tock clips come in bunches Like you know you can't don't see anything Oh every once while someone will send me one so look at this one And I catch it and it just hooked to a bunch of other ones bang bang bang bang They're all you know they're nailing it called an algo by the way yeah, but the algo doesn't trigger right all the time oh

2:29:12 Because if it's I for example, if I'm using Jay's phone. Yeah Oh no that the elgo always drives me to the same but it's a phone It's an app the app is doing all kinds of stuff under the hood that you don't see That's why it knows how you what? I get a lot of If it's if left I'm left in my own if the thing figures who I am and they wouldn't give me stuff like Lousy cooking videos people who can't cook he has a lot of that And it's like a joke to watch. I mean, you can't not... It's like watching a train wreck. You just can't not watch what is who would eat this? And that's one. That's one the other ones are the phony baloney elaborate videos that show you that something you could do this, that and the other thing and then magically something happens which is bogus my faith The most recent when I had there's a guy okay guy takes

2:30:04 He takes a wine glass, he wraps the bottom in foil and puts some foil on the bottom of the stem so it's all foiled up. Then he lays it on a box and then he got the wine glass pointed against the wall and he's got all the foil around it. And then he takes his phone turns on a video puts the phone up against a foam block so its kind of up against the wine glass and suddenly, magically the image on the phone is projected onto the wall. Oh no! Yeah there's a lot... And it's like dead serious. It's bullcrap Well you know if you just gave up on this show and spent your time making TikTok videos of you cooking You would do better I guarantee you, you would do better Thank you Cotton Gin 1804 was the total The script broke That's alright that decent

2:30:58 But you're right, 28-29 people above 50 and a lot of the executive associate executive producers they figured out oh you know I can put an ad in here. So I'm a little down on it. The number says 29, but you got to remember the first cell is 28. Okay so the bottom line is its value for value and if we don't feel that we get the value back whatever that means to us whatever it means to you If you don't give us anything then we will find...I will find something else to do And if I find something else to do John you're gonna have to find something else to do You're not going to do this show on your own

2:31:35 It's not a threat, it's the promise of the value for value model. Now I would watch that! I would watch the John TikTok show. Tina shows me the cooking videos all the time. There is this one old bag and she... And I say that because she says about herself. She is cooking her son who is always there. But you were apologizing using the term old bag? Yeah, but don't want to be mean And she's throwing like, everything is cheese. And I throw some cheese... A lot of cheese! All these guys always top it with a bunch of cheap cheese. Cheese, melt the cheese on it and she always tastes it and says oh its delicious! Yes people love that. People love cooking stuff It's putting everybody out of business This TikTok is a scourge We should ban it The Chinese are tracking you with this No good

2:36:02 The town is named Lückenbach? Lückenbach, yes. Very famous town. Very famous. That whole area must have just been taken over by the Germans Well yes it was founded by the Germans in I want to say 1840 something And supposedly... Does anybody ever ask why? Who were these Germans that went to Texas in 1840. These were very brave people who were looking for a better life than jolly old Deutschland and they settled here and they apparently, the Fredericksburgians made a deal with the Comanche Indians that was never broken! They treated them right

2:36:44 And there you go. That's the history of Fredericksburg, you might notice the name Frederiksberg Yeah, named after... I know that! Frederick. But then I didn't know they had a bunch of ancillary towns names with German names all over it Oh man we've got the Schlitterbahn over there, you're hour away everything is German here and How this went over during World War II? So a friend of mine of ours he does estate sales which means you go into dead people's homes and you find all the gems, and you buy them up. And then you sell them he says here in Fredericksburg there is a lot of paraphernalia and flags and stuff with swastikas on it at the estate sales I don't know if he puts those up for sale right away but he said I find a lot of interesting stuff

2:43:43 And that concludes our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1764. It still is the best podcast in the universe, and I love getting notes like that. That really does make my day when you say that it helped in your homeschooling project not a home school but your schooling project at home. That gives me hope hope for humanity Hope For America Yes, I salute you of course all of these Titles are real ones. They can be used even in con if you happen to be there, you can walk around say hey Bobby Bobby De Niro I'm an executive producer did you know that? Oh yeah what up at the no agenda show? Oh really excellent Same for associate executive producer That's how those things work and you can use them anywhere these real show business credits are recognized including IMDB calm And we recommend you open up an account there if you don't have one yet You'll see

2:44:36 thousands of other no agenda producers there we love to flood the zone thank you very much for supporting us here for episode 1764 our formula is this before we continue on our merry way doing a play this Dave Smith Okay, get closer to the microphone though so we can all hear you. I'll try to okay if there's any close right be behind it Yeah that way it might work So he was on Tucker talk bitching and moaning about Douglas Murray and they went on at Murray They went on and on but a couple of things came out of that had nothing to do with that one was the comment by Tucker that is possible that they're gonna because there's the way

2:45:39 Smith saw it and I think Tucker to some extent they saw the future as podcasting No kidding Wait, did they say that? That Adam Curry had something to do with that. They didn't mention your name of course now why would they know but the point is is that they talked about how media has when a new guy comes along into light and exploits the media presidential candidate for example like Roosevelt exploited radio before anybody else did. Kennedy did television, did the fireside chat, Kennedy did television Trump did social media and then he got on the podcasting thing to three-hour podcasts they talked about that's right and Tucker said oh I think they're gonna crack down

2:46:25 I said what I think, or said to myself what I think is that I still think that someday down the road there'll be licensing or something like that because they can't let this thing go crazy. But we have only a visual license. But most of it, they talk mostly about you and Podcasting 2.0 which means they can't crack down on you. Correct So to give you kudos, that's minor compared to the one I thought when I got this clip where they brought up the fact that Smith was baby giving him a gig on Fox as a contributor. He did mention amount of money they get paid these rando contributors on Fox make 100K a year.

2:47:07 It's not bad. No! And so they just show up and do a comment, you know? There's always the same usual suspects But they brought this little ditty up, which is something you've been asserting since day one about Fox and I let it play. Greg Gutfeld and Tom Shalhoub who was hosting Red Eye at the time, they started using me on their Fox News shows and so it was like the first time in my career I'd like started getting on TV And I remember a few people at Fox had told me that they were like hey there's uh Like some people in management are like And I remember at the time,

2:47:54 broke. I mean dead broke. Only on just to be, put a finer point in that what do they mean? Not in your personal life your personal life is more buttoned down than most people who are at the time it wasn't this was before I was married and had kids and stuff but believe me that's not what they care about. They don't care trust me. I found out pretty quickly by just doing shows of Fox News and then going to the bar afterward with some of the people there you're like oh conservatism Inc is not exactly would use actually pretty liberal when it comes down the bar hang after the show. I would say but vindicated once again, vindicated yes of course a bunch of Democrats running Fox News we know that yeah but it is confirmed with that clip and of course

2:48:37 Tucker say yep, yeah a bunch of you switch again go to the bar and you find out what they're really thinking well I since you brought up podcasting. I have a question for you This is an industry-wide question It is it is rampant throughout the PIC the podcast industrial complex Which is basically people who do advertising by the way we could switch to advertising and do pretty well? I'm just telling even with our You know, because we have a million downloads a month. That's 1,000 CPMs. Um... that's not bad We could do okay I'm just saying Yeah we don't want to do that people No of course i dont wanna do that! Id rather give up. Id rather rage quit Would you be cool?

2:49:20 Adam Curry rage quits. Anyway... Adam Curry rage quits, leaves aging co-partner in the lurch. Septuagenarian Dvorak! You have a picture of you in a rocking chair like, he left me, he stranded me I got nothing to do no one visits me nowhere to go anyway this is a good question for you Because of the nature of how podcast advertising works, which I will say right off the bat is a scam. It's based upon downloads and you can buy downloads You can create bots that do downloads Yeah, most of the hosting companies they all adhere to the IAB standards and there they've been verified Which cost them $50,000 or some crazy amount

2:50:11 Because, you know it's in order to be verified. Which means they came we checked your logs there is no fake downloads here whatever Of course when Apple decided they weren't going to have past episodes download automatically everything went down 20% and people had to pay millions of dollars and make goods We'll just leave that by the side Downloads not a scam people Okay But then nature of the measurement is iffy at best So what happened is, and so podcasting is under attack. Not Podcasting 2.0 but podcasting itself is under attack because YouTube in particular came in and said oh no we're the number one podcasting platform in the universe! Have you heard this? Have you seen the numbers have you seen the press releases they barrage... I'm about to find out They well they barraged the market

2:51:03 We have the most podcast, now of course they're not a podcast platform because yes you can give them your RSS feed but they just use it to slurp in your videos and that's it. Or even your podcasts! You can't change your feed or take something out... No, no its ingested is done and you can mark your YouTube channel as a podcast Now, advertisers love this because I can advertise on podcasts and they can get real numbers. Of course YouTube has very detailed statistics and they can say well you got a million plays what is the play? Well it's 60 seconds... It's not even it's like 30-20 seconds of someone watching but okay that's fine that's a view or that's a play

2:51:51 So the advertising industrial complex for podcasting started to call videos on YouTube podcasts. Do you see the problem here? Well, the problem is every... The whole thing's a scam. Right but so when you don't have to me you have an RSS feed that's a podcast You host it at a hosting company or we happen to have Void Zero We hosted ourselves, we're in control YouTube can't... You know, you can even upload Audio with a picture on it or whatever, but that's not a podcast. A podcast is independent It's just it's decentralized its distributed no government No Silicon Valley company can take you down even if Apple decides which they've done in the past They don't want your podcasts on them on the Apple Podcast apps they do it all the time what? Spotify deletes episodes all the time and

2:52:50 That can't happen and that to me is a podcast. You have your RSS feed, and it's an independent thing Do you do you have an opinion on this? Can you tell me what is a podcast if someone said what's the podcast How does John C Dvorak define that I would say a podcast as an independently produced Audio product that might have a video component but it's basically an audio product that's distributed through RSS through various mechanisms and it can be anything from A to Z in terms of you know how its structured or how it exists or what is about. Thank You I'm with you on that let's listen to Bill O'Reilly's definition of what a podcast is. It drives me crazy people go oh, I watch your podcasts. Look if your guy has tattoos and dirty sneakers it's a podcast he's dressed

2:53:51 As dapper as I dress, it's a broadcast. There you go! If you have dirty sneakers and tattoos then it is a podcast. If your dressed like Bill O'Reilly its a broadcast He says this on his podcast No he refuses...he's moving to net cast next I hear Yeah im surprised he doesn't do net cast It was another denial. So the scam continues, they continue to scam the American public and everyone's in on it. Oh man! It was falling apart it's dangerous to fly don't go to New Jersey! Happening today the FAA will continue discussions with six major airlines about the ongoing delays at Newark Liberty International Airport The agency wants to reduce the number of flights at the airport in North Jersey Meanwhile we're learning new information about the two radar outages

2:55:03 in the last two and a half weeks at a Philadelphia facility that manages flights for Newark. During that time, air traffic control could not see or talk with planes The FAA explained on Capitol Hill yesterday that the primary and backup lines both failed The agency says it is now working to add a third line Again our air traffic controllers who are in this grand Gitmo nation all say That happens all of the time And adding another one of these lines to communicate with the radios is not going to help. You just need a whole different system, but they're really gonna go all out it's gonna be billions and it will take forever to implement and this is just like the drone story or just like any other story that hypes the media and scares everybody oh they can't see us on their radar we're all gonna die hasn't happened yet

2:55:53 And as predicted, the blame goes to the previous administration. Specifically Pete Buttigieg. So I was all set before we had the rigged election To give out a brand new gorgeous system to one company that was going to do it all thing One of the best companies in the world that you know very well You know there are three or four of them that do it And when they took over, Buttigieg has no clue. He drives to work on his bicycle with his... In all fairness with this husband on the back which is a nice loving relationship but he didn't have a clue This guy didn't have a clue.

2:56:29 Blame it on Buttigieg. Yeah, I'm glad you got that clip because I saw that clip It's old. It is great. But is so funny this man running his bicycle with his husband in the back. It's hilarious. He never stops he doesn't back to the of kind of the medical industry another huge controversy this is the controversy that we've been tracking with Casey means you know, we can't have her as Surgeon General. The meaningless post But okay, oh no we can't have her because she's a shill for big pharma with her brother and it's no good. And NPR investigated President Trump has a new pick for US Surgeon General He's tapped wellness influencer Dr. Casey Means That's in place of his original We need to be wellness influencers maybe that's a gig for us what do you think? I mean your living a long time

2:57:25 We just say, well this is how we live. This is how we've stayed alive so long don't you think that's a good gig? Wellness influencer yeah and wine reviewer choice former Fox News contributor Dr. Jeanette Neshwat MPR's Will Stone is here with the details hi will hey there why did Trump drop his first pick for Surgeon General So no official statement from Trump or the White House on that. But it seems there may have been a few issues at play here so first Neshwat had come under scrutiny recently for misrepresenting her medical credentials including where she went to medical school this was revealed by an independent reporter Anthony Clark and has been matched by other outlets

2:58:06 though NPR has not independently confirmed the reporting. At the same time, Nechua was also facing some strong opposition from those on the right and in Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr.'s Make America Healthy Again or Maha movement. One reason was her support for COVID policies like masking and vaccines. So whatever the rationale Trump took to social media this week and announced He tapped Dr. Casey Means instead saying she has quote impeccable Maha credentials Well, we're about to find out about those by the way The three stooges were far ahead of their time with Maha We continue what tell us more about Casey means who is she?

2:58:50 Yeah, she's a wellness influencer, author and entrepreneur. She has a company that sells glucose monitoring devices to consumers. Her background is in medicine. She went to Stanford Medical School and went on to surgical residency but she dropped out pretty far along the program. Her book is kind of self-help diet type of book it really catapulted her into the online wellness space She's been on big podcasts. She appeared at a highly publicized congressional roundtable on nutrition last year that featured Secretary Kennedy and other big names in the Maha world, but her resume is definitely a problem for many in medicine and public health she did have a practice in Oregon But again never completed her residency And she doesn't have an active medical license right now

2:59:35 I called up Dr. Richard Carmona to get his take on this, Carmona was the Surgeon General under George W Bush. Every previous surgeon general when you look they've got the license they've got their residency they have had at least some leadership ability that's scalable and we don't see any of that here i think that our nation deserves better. I think this is so great can you name three former surgeon generals? I can name Coop. That's one. The bearded guy, this last guy the weird Indian character... You can't name him! Navish Shreem Shreem? Navish Navidat No you can't because they're not just that important sorry to say and Coop said don't smoke and it didn't stop me How are her supporters responding to this

3:00:33 Well, Secretary Kennedy is doubling down on his support. He's claiming Dr. Means will be the greatest surgeon general in American history It's also worth noting her brother Callie means So Kennedy's picking up on Trump style he's totally got a baby or means will be the greatest surgeon general in American history and It's also worth noting her brother, Callie Means is a prominent advisor to Kennedy. A lot of her messaging aligns with the secretary she rails against the healthcare industry big food and big pharma. Rails! Talks about nutrition and lifestyle here's what Kennedy said on Fox News just the other day Casey means we felt was the best person to really bring division of Maha

3:01:17 to the American public. She has in this unique capacity articulated... Now Casey Means has made statements casting doubt on the safety of certain vaccines and the vaccine schedule she's also endorsed things like raw milk similar to Kennedy all of this is concerning to experts But some in the Kennedy coalition are not happy with the pick. For example, Kennedy's former running mate Nicole Shanahan has criticized the choice heavily as have others and some of the pushback has to do with her vaccine stance that she has not come out strongly enough against vaccines especially the COVID shots

3:01:54 So, this choice is revealing I'd say some fractures in the Maha coalition and that plus concerns about her lack of experience could derail her nomination. We'll see That's NPR's Will Stone Thank you so much for talking with us Thank You Glad that NPR finally got the story Yes yes there's a lot of problem because she has not come out strongly enough against The COVID shot And this is the criticism. Of course, I think Kelly... The last show we played Kelly... Megan Kelly? What's her name? Megan Kelly. That's right. Megan Kelly's clip where she made, I think you know does a reasonable job of defending the woman and says that you can't come out as a big anti-COVID shot person expected to get... No

3:02:39 Confirmed, because half of Congress is bought and paid for by the pharma companies. So they don't want to... as far as they're concerned fax is the way to go get vaccinated for everything get 86 when you're a little baby But this has been going on for a long time before she was even in play for Surgeon General she and her brother had have been accused of being shills, coming out of nowhere all of a sudden they're on all the big podcasts I don't think you anything until you've come on the Noah Jenner show oh wait we know already guess and they would not denounce the COVID vaccine and that is the problem and Maha is going uh-uh to her so it'll be interesting to see how this confirmation goes

3:03:27 In the meantime, this was very peculiar this morning that I saw on Fox News when it comes to vaccinations. And they brought out Tucker Carlson's old doctor pal remember that guy? The old dude whenever whenever Tucker was on Fox yeah he had he had this one doctor and it was the same guy over and over we always made fun of usual suspects as what they do usual suspects and here's the news HHS Secretary RfK Jr shifting 500 million dollars from COVID-19 projects with the goal of a universal vaccine to protect against multiple strains of a virus at once. Fox News Senior Medical Analyst, Dr. Mark Siegel is here to tell us all about this. This would be getting one shot for the flu that could maybe last 10 years How long have we heard this story?

3:04:12 One shot, you never... only one. One and done it's good to go for the flu never get another one for the rest of your life I'm surprised we haven't got clips on this from 10 years ago We probably do I think it is going to start with a flu And if we get there with a flu maybe we can broaden into more shots The whole idea Is that you get a different flu shot every year Right Or or we did that with COVID so It's because we look at the virus that enters the cell, only that protein. Just that protein gets it into the cell and causes a lot of problems and changes you have to change the shot all the time but it doesn't always work with flu so now President Trump is bringing into place

3:04:51 Jeffrey Taubenberger, who's the number one flu researcher in the world in my opinion. Very excited about this guy, Taubenberger. He is now the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases which was a job that Fauci had! And you know who this guy is? He went into the tundra in Alaska and discovered the Spanish Flu That's how amazing he is Amazing! He has been working on flu vaccines for really long time You already nailed it Which is...you try to get into the shot different proteins so you get one response that will work for all flu. We gotta get there, we gotta get there. That'd be great then you don't have to get a shot every year. Absolutely absolutely great program! Great program? I'm not for this...I don't think this is a good idea. Well the vaccine companies aren't for it either obviously thats why its never gonna happen. Thats true thats no good Why would you want that when you can give a shot every year? There could be dog crap in the shot who cares

3:05:46 You're, you're not liable for anything. So he just manufactured what could be distilled water shot shot shot shot by the ton free here at the pharmacy. Do you think this is a Robert Kennedy Jr? I think he's a beast just as like go over here and work on that for awhile. Is that what this is? Could be possible. All right. Last thing I have is about fluoride because of course and this is a very good thing Bobby has said, we got to stop this. States everywhere are stopping fluoridating their water should have happened decades ago but the pharma industry is not taking this lightly because oh then that Benny there oh no it's bad it's bad it's really bad and what fluoride tablets? No! It's bad in today's health watch the FDA is getting ready to take prescription fluoride drops and tablets for kids off the market

3:06:36 So this comes as Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy fights to remove fluoride from our drinking water Let's bring in CBS News medical contributor, that is Dr. Selene Gounder Head of the Lodge for Public Health at KFF Health News has sorted it out for us Good to see you, Dr. Sleen KFF Health News by the way is as far as I know a bought and paid for publication It's like one of these oh it's we do health news okay? No, KFF is the Kaiser Family Foundation exactly yeah They're just a Kaiser shill yes exactly sort it out for us But they sorted it out for us. Good to see you, Dr. Sleen! So how big a deal is this move from the FDA? So FDA Commissioner Marty Macri announced yesterday that they are considering or planning to phase out fluoride supplements such as tablets and drops for kids and what we know is that fluoride supplements really do still make a difference despite fluoride in the water. In some places you don't have fluoride in the water and many kids

3:07:34 don't necessarily brush their teeth regularly with fluoridated toothpaste. They don't all make it to the dentist on a regular basis and so we know that fluoride in general can reduce the rate of cavities by about 25 percent despite having other layers of protection." So, okay...so what she's saying here is for kids who don't brush their teeth and don't get regular checkups. I can understand that, but they don't brush... you don't brush your teeth? Fluoride can help! No! You can't have gunk in your teeth all day. I know a lot about teeth, you cannot have gunk in your teeth and think that a fluoride tablet is going to solve that but she, Celine Gounder, is on the sales path Is there any evidence of kids getting access to these drops and overusing them or any kind of negative effects? Oh we need access to it Well its interesting that you ask that Tony so the Attorney General of Texas

3:08:27 Interesting you asked that because it was in your prompter. The script was there. It's interesting that you ask that, Tony so the Attorney General of Texas is suing Colgate and Procter & Gamble over flavored kid-friendly toothpaste we do know that for example with tobacco or vapes flavoring can encourage more use oh yeah the argument here is they could encourage overuse of toothpaste if they're flavored for kids. That'll be the day! Kids are eating the tooth paste Give me a break. Hey, mommy can I brush my teeth another 10 times today? Cause that toothpaste is so tasty! Alright so fluoride is banned from water and fluoride supplements what are parents to do

3:09:09 Well, at least for now you still have the toothpaste and mouthwashes then dental applied dentist applied varnishes. But as I mentioned in Texas they're actually going after some of the toothpastes so we know that with the big concern here is that you have 70 million Americans who do not have dental insurance. We know that low-income kids have three times the risk of dental cavities that go untreated to other kids and so we know that certain populations are really gonna see a surge in dental cavities. Surge! Okay, I always raise fluoride good good good now this stuff is so confusing all about yes okay got it cut it thank you thank you all right good good good good good good It is they mentioned throughout these reports that the dentist can put a coating of fluoride on your teeth which is

3:10:15 Direct contact with the enamel. She said the fluoride tray yes, she did mention that briefly but The issue is there's a true issues we need to have better dental care people need more education on dental care It's very important take it from a person who has a small car in his mouth And and it just set us back quite a bit and it was so that I would be able to still speak and not have dentures So and that's because I just it's not because i didn't brush with fluoride believe me. All right well that went nowhere now what do you mean? It went nowhere, its important information man you're supposed to say man all right take us out you get one more shot. I got one shot. One shot. You got one shot. Well let's do the Trump in the judiciary cause

3:11:11 That's going on as we speak. This is a big deal going on in the Supreme Court right now about all the crap that's being thrown at Trump by these just rando judges, so let's play these two clips. A legal fight over one of America's oldest national security laws is heating up. The Trump administration just won- Federal judge in Pennsylvania has ruled that President Trump can invoke the Alien Enemies Act an 18th century wartime statute to deport migrants suspected of gang ties The ruling from U.S. District Judge Stephanie Haynes marks the first judicial support for Trump's use of the law, putting her at odds with three other federal judges in Texas Colorado and New York. Trump invoked the law in March targeting members of Trende Aragua or TDA a Venezuelan gang he labeled a foreign terrorist group... This is not where this clip was supposed to go! This has been misclipped

3:12:00 Well, I'm playing your clip. All right well pull it pull it all right pulled it pull oh no there goes building seven You get I'll give you one up one more shot not on this alright this time We're gonna go back to the public complaining about something and this time is God This was a complaint of mine too which has been about eulogies and Licensing and all the whole background that started with WordStar where you never really bought their software product. This stems back in the days, early days of mainframes You never bought the software products, you bought a license to use it Now Nintendo's making poor kids buying a game

3:12:39 Nintendo's making poor kids buying a game. Nah, you don't own the game anymore You get the license to use it. Me and Nintendo are updating our user agreement for the Switch 2 if you make any unauthorized modifications To your switch two we will remotely deactivate your console so that you cannot play any more games No! I understand deactivating online play and a store with mods installed, but deactivating the console itself? People will own the Nintendo Switch 2. They should have rights to do what they want with it Actually they will not own the switch 2 They will own the license to play The Switch 2. And that license can be revoked at any moment! What? You sound like the big brother of gaming In addition to this, physical games will no longer be installed on the game cartridge The game cartridge will only contain a key To install the game over the internet Then what's the point of physical and why are you charging another $10 for it People would be paying $80 for a key?! Yes exactly A key to access the license to the game

3:13:40 We won't own anything. This is insane! You know what else is insane? Selling out Switch 2 pre-orders within an hour. Do you know that my car, I have a console with like uh...you know a screen It popped up at EULA the other day Oh no. One of these days, it's like the insurance company taking over everything they took over a medic and that the medicine business they took over you know trying to take over car repair business or trying to take over home appliance business insurances create these middlemen The other big scam going on is never gonna end is the idea of licensing the car yeah in other words You're not gonna buy a car but you don't really own the car you got you bought

3:14:25 You've spent $20,000, $30,000, $40,000, $50,000 for a license to use the car. That's where it is headed! That is what coming and if you don't agree to the license they turn your car off. And do you know who will be doing that first? Elon. I guarantee Tesla will be the first. They already do it basically This is you don't, you won't own anything and be happy. This is what it stems from. We were way over today. It's my fault. Oh, not over again! Well let's start with getting these people out of the way here. Let's move them out! All right move them out. Lucas Williams in Roswell New Mexico our buddy there in the old space area an alien Roswell $100 boom right at the top Kevin McLaughlin

Up too?

3:24:14 some this and that the other I didn't get the sentient AI back yet but give her a rest. Why don't you do yours? I have only one, I think it may be a winner and specifically for this show so i'd like to go last if you don't mind. Oh is she just complaining yes of course we'll start with bear monkey that was better than a bear fighting a monkey Okay. All right, I'll take it. Do we have scared? I was scared out of my mind Nah that's too much background noise Then while best Wow best three hours you'll ever spend That's pretty good Here's mine It said no AI Buy and donate

3:25:08 You gotta admit, that's pretty good. I like it because it has the donate promotion Yes! I knew you would like it because of the donate promotion It is a little bit under modulated but uh...you can probably boosted it Yeah let us use that and I'm gonna pass-I am going to keep my two though cause' I liked them so much yes they are so dynamite I'm gonna bump em You're gonna bump them They've been bumped and now everybody we will never bump this it is John's tip for the day We have a complaint. I want to hear the complaint, we always get a complaint The complaint comes from Dana Brunetti creator of the tip of the day and he says vid angel? question marks Tip of the day has turned into my Frankenstein

3:26:05 First the tip about the Chinese crap app Teemu and now the censorship app vid angel It's a horrible product and shouldn't be used much less paid $10.00 a month for I use it you used it on the No Agenda podcast and it reduced it down to 30 seconds! Please let the listeners know of my disgust and disapproval of this censorship you are promoting, John C. Dvorak People who use this should be better parents and look at their ratings before watching something with their children Don't expose them to censorship Maybe vid angels should pivot and work only to remove all the woke propaganda in film & TV Actually even that censorship I couldn't get

3:26:47 behind thumbs down I have to kind of agree with him Yeah, I have to agree with her. I think Dana Brunetti's on the side... I disagree with you both and the thing is you sound like him when you do that over here. He never sent me that note of course And uh..I'm surprised at that when you said his complaint by David- Dana Brunetti I figured that The complaint was he was named wasn't pushed toward the front of the That would be a complaint No, no he cares for humans and he cares for art Oh yeah, well him and De Niro should get together. Yeah they should hang out together I agree. It'd be a fine pair Okay so this tip of the day is for...I thought I had it given that I think I mentioned it on the show I never gave it as the tip of the day and I went back and looked in the noagendafund.com and then searched the whole site couldn't find it So I figured oh you know give this tip of the day it's fabulous product its freeware product called IRF & VUE You've heard of it? IRF & VUE what?!

3:27:50 I guess you haven't heard of it. No, it's IRFANVIEW It is a image software package that for quick viewing of images also quick converting of images for example the horrible image format WEBP What's that iPhone format like they have iPhone sometimes send it There's a bunch of these screwball formats that nobody uses, but this will read them if you get... You have to also put in the plugin package. But this will read anything it reads KDC files which is like the early early digital format from Kodiak. HEIC that's what Apple phones send. It'll read it. It's horrible

3:28:38 But as soon as it loads it in and you want to save, go Save As. It'll save it as a JPEG, it'll save it as a PNG... And can you convert sizes? Yeah! You can do that too Well I should use that because I'm always converting sizes for the Noah-Junard. I will take your tip and let you know how I get on with it That's a good idea. And it does minor editing. It's really good for a fast crop Boom, boom, crop, boom It'll do a fast crop, it'll do a sharpened image. It will do a couple of quick and dirty kind of contrast changes and some other very simple super fast so when you hit the image it loads right away and also plays movies faster than the Microsoft products. The Microsoft players slow. And the Microsoft photo stinks. Get rid of those things but the problem I have to say just as add on here

3:29:32 You can't, it doesn't you know in the olden days when you loaded IRF fan view and say would you like to do all these things? And they have a list of GIF and AVI and all these different formats that'll read. Just click yes for all of them no now you have to go into the settings I think which is illegal. You have to go into the settings and hand change all the defaults to IRF Fan View but once you do that your good to go I think this is a good tip and this is now again, this is a freeware share where or is it open source? It's share where freeware. It's not open source So you can you can donate to the to the creator of this product Yeah, this has a donate button Okay buy him a coffee Well that I'd like I like paying for my software excellent everybody John C Devorah comes through once again And you cannot criticize her for this tip of the day

3:30:23 Created by Dana Brunetti. Well, you could of course criticize him but we will reject your criticism because that was a good tip of the day Oh there she is on time Tina the Keeper enters the studio meaning Meaning I gotta get dressed for dinner. So that means yes, it does That's it for our broadcast day We would really like you to consider supporting the show go to no agenda donations calm Coming up next we have another fine podcast product a real one and these guys don't have tats or doodoo sneakers It's random thoughts and this is episode 322 and they are vibe coding Oh boy guy know what that is?
