Mr. Umami

00:00 Oh my god, there's smoke! And we're broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where were all wondering why can't get rid of the word umami? I'm John C. Dvorak. Isn't that just another word for fish eggs? No What's Umami

00:40 Umami, umami, umami. It's like drives me nuts you watch any of these shows... Oh! Umami, umami. I did an Ngram search on Google and the word just showed up sometime after the year 2000 never existed when i was a kid never heard of it What is it? It's mouth feel. It's the MSG, what MSG causes, what mushrooms do, what the fish sauce does. Chris, umami! Umami! I'm gonna write it down now as our possible title Umami. U-M-A-M-I, umami. It has gotten on my nerves people just throw it around constantly and it's a new word never nobody heard of it before I'm so sorry that this is irritating you to such a degree

01:29 I watch a lot of cooking shows. Yes? And they keep saying it over and over and over, it just drives me nuts! Hold on second let's say... Origin Of Umami. I'm going to uh... You're gonna get a badass! Okay often described as a savory or meaty taste and it originates from the Japanese term surprise umami Yeah, when did that term show up in the lexicon? Does it give you a date? No. It said well early 2000s and this led to the commercial... So it really comes from the commercial production of MSG widely used to enhance umami in cooking so can we just say umami is basically MSG just a new code word for it no

02:32 And I'll tell you why, because it usually doesn't refer... they're not using it in that context. It's always about oh this soy mess creates a... has an umami. Everything's got umami except MSG and the lexicon of today's cooking shows. Wow man! It just drives me nuts and then yak, yak, yak about it. It's like...it's unbelievable! And that like I said early 2000s who popularized the term? Chefs from these...actually on the cooking shows That's where it's coming from and because you watch those cooking shows which gives another rating point You are indirectly to blame for the entire dispersion of the word umami

03:19 There's logic in that. Okay, well there you go I mean you're like Mr.. Sumo mr.. Umami mr.. Cooking show Here's the show title mr.. Umami That could be a that could be like you'd be like a cooking show right there Oh man, alright let's get started here because there is a lot going on in of all places Shangri-La Have you been tracking the Shangri-la dialogue? No I guess not This is in Shangri-la It is called the Shangri-la dialogue There is no Shangri-la I'm sorry

04:10 Yeah. What do you mean there's no Shangri-La? Where is Shangri-La, it's a bull crap thing! It's in Singapore. The Shangri-La dialogue is in Singapore. At the Shangri-La hotel?! I don't know they just all call it the Shangri-La dialogue. Everybody everybody's out there including The European Union's top diplomat, Kaia Callas said the world should be extremely worried about Russia and China's relationship as North Korean troops fight alongside Russian soldiers in Ukraine. Callus said European and Asian security were very much interlinked while speaking at a panel about ensuring global security. China says it is neutral

04:55 But its dual-use experts are fueling Russia's war. When China and Russia speak of leading together the changes not seen in 100 years, and of revisions to the global security order we should all be extremely worried." So this whole Shangri-La deal

05:33 It's pretty much about China. It's all about China and China, they're getting ready! They're getting ready it's in their DNA they want to go to war with us again ready any attempt by communist China to conquer Taiwan By force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world there's no reason to sugarcoat The threat China poses is real and it could be imminent. We hope not!

06:18 But it certainly could be. He said eminent too, which is kind of weird It has to be clear to all that Beijing is credibly preparing to potentially use military force Well there's a reason for it I'm getting to it we know its public that she has ordered his military to be he's almost like Alex Jones It's in their documents at reddit as public they're not even hiding it anymore whose military forced to alter the balance of power in the Indo-pacific We know It's public that Xi has ordered his military to be capable of invading Taiwan by 2027. The PLA is building the military needed to do it, training for it every day and rehearsing for the real deal

07:03 Before I get to the payoff, 2027. Remember we got when we first started talking about this pivot to the Pacific that we got all of our military contracting producers and in the military itself saying everyone's talking about 2027? 2027! 2027! 2027! Yeah Which I think is when they want to have all the checks clear. Over to Singapore next, where the Shangri-La Security Forum is taking place In a speech this morning US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that the threat from China was real and that Beijing is simply rehearsing its takeover of Taiwan he's pushing Asian countries to boost their military spending to increase regional deterrence and he pledged to increase U.S presence in the Indo Pacific Buy our stuff people!

07:50 It's all about military-industrial complex. Buy our stuff! It's real, man it's real. It's 2027 they're rehearsing for it is all real buy our stuff you need our stuff we got beautiful stuff big beautiful ships We got stuff, we got air bases, we got stuff You gotta buy our stuff This kind of... kind of icky and it seems like the word has gone out throughout the entire administration Alright everybody Ukraine over No more Ukraine, it's time for China! Bring in the DHS Barbie with the money honey. How much money or do you know if Harvard has taken money from China? Oh my goodness I don't know specifically hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars because these foreign students for years have paid full tuition plus they've also gotten grants special participation in programs

08:47 that China has financed and brought forward. So these ties to China are deeply alarming, and they're not just Harvard there's other universities we're going through every single one of them if you come to this country to learn your foreign student and you recognize the opportunity that's fantastic But don't come here and spy on us, and take that information back home to an enemy that is working to destroy us every day. And China has infiltrated this country... It's my job to protect the homeland, and I've been given that direction by President Trump They will not participate in this foreign student program until they clean up their waste clean up their ways, whatever that means. So it's obvious we're now...it's like the new target is China much to the chagrin of President Emmanuel Macron who after being hit in the mouth by his wife

09:36 speaks perfect English. I'm very surprised he was also at the Shangri-La and it was like but how about our war? Our War! It's our War! French President Emmanuel Macron warned the US they risk a dangerous double standard as they concentrate on a potential conflict with China if that shift comes at the cost of abandoning Ukraine He warned that leaving Ukraine would eventually erode U.S credibility in deterring potential conflicts with Taiwan Our key challenge is how to preserve peace and stability and prosperity in this current environment. And in a moment when the competition between China and the United States for global leadership

10:18 could create constraints and a side effect for each of us. Speaking at the Shangri-La dialogue in Singapore, notable was the fact that the speech was delivered with US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the audience. Macron's remarks come as the U.S considers withdrawing troops from Europe to shift them to the Indo Pacific There you go So it's a full-on shift. Everyone knows it, Macron is not happy about it everyone's read in I don't know what they're read into sounds like just the sales pitch It is! Well yes, its called the sales meeting

10:56 And we all should have called it that. How do we sell more junk to these guys? It's well, it's obvious you go but China they're rehearsing and they're not even hiding in Israel israelisraelisrael no it's totally I think he nailed it Alex Jones yeah where Where do you have that? It's real. Hold on a second, I haven't... They're making the frogs gay! See here it is. IT'S REAL! IT'S REAL!! IT'S REAL!!! That's right China they gonna do it! Meanwhile of course, the thing-the big news which I sent to bonus clips Ah yes and your perfect perfect tie in right on time beautiful The real news is that the Ukrainians pulled off a stunt A coup

11:48 that nobody expected and I don't have the rundown of it, you might. What these clips are is the analysis from a Brit and what happened was if you don't have the clip for what happened... I do not! You need to set it up. I'll explain it The Ukrainian shipped in a bunch of drones on trucks In a shed or something No, in trucks and the truck had an open top, thousands of miles into Russia. These two Air Force bases are nowhere near Ukraine. One of them's near Mongolia and the other one is up by Finland. They shipped these drones in then they released them and blew up like 40 bombers and aircrafts. And the Russians couldn't do anything about it was a sabotage

12:44 situation which I think you know Russia's there's something fishy going on with this war because the Russians kept getting blamed. Our media coverage is doing a piss poor job on this surprise because they just play all Russia's attacking they sent 300 drones into Ukraine and killed one person so I'm reading from the troll room that it was sheds it wasn't trucks but I'm just saying, it was trucks okay Well here's the analysis and you can, I don't know what the sheds... how do they move the sheds? I don't know. Don't kill the messenger. Shed aren't mobile by the way for the shed people out there. Shed people! Well for more we spoke to the BBC security brief programs Mikey Kay who is also a former senior officer in the British military Two very separate locations

13:34 One in Murmansk up on the Finnish border, but the really critical one is the one down in Iksk which is all the way down to the east on the Mongolian border. So thousands and thousands of kilometers apart and they've combined Ukrainians have combined a concept of sabotage and just how difficult it is not only detect a drone or swarms of drones but actually take them down as well. And you know speaking about this on The Ukraine Cast Just the other day with Lucy Hawkins, you know there's a lot of drone technology out there. Ukraine is leading from the front on that for offensive strike but the bit which is really making government struggle at the moment is how do you detect and then how do you shoot them down especially if they're a swarm? And we can see from this video footage just how devastating the effect is You're talking about strategic long-range deep attack assets so you've got an A50 in there which has been hit which is an airborne early warning aircraft

14:30 You don't get many of those in inventories. And then you've got the TU-95 Bear and the TU-22 Tupelov Blackjack Both of these aircraft can carry up to eight cruise missiles and they can fly a long distance. We see TU-95s coming around the Northern Cape, over the top of Norway and then over the top of the UK all the way down past Ireland that's the range of these assets so to have 40 of them taken out in this offensive drone strike by Ukraine will hit Putin really really hard We have a failure to communicate. We are two nations separated by common language The term shed is the issue from The Guardian and they have pictures Ukrainian officials told the media that the operation code-named spiderweb Spider web had been in preparation for more than 18 months, the drones were first smuggled into Russia and later concealed under the roofs of small wooden sheds which

15:31 were then loaded onto trucks and driven to the perimeter of the air bases. So I would say advantage Dvorak, and a shed is just like... it's not a shed like we think of a shed where you put your lawnmower It's just a box that's what the Brits call a shed. A shed! So mystery solved Good work Yes so they brought these things in on trucks In sheds on trucks Containers will call them, but you know they look more like mini containers. I agree yeah so their containers and they launched them from there and the I Guess you know that you can think about if you think about the amount of try it you does a worldwide phenomenon There's trucks on the road everywhere trucks Russia is no different how this truck? Is trucks with all kinds of grooves so you imagine

16:28 Hundreds of drones and trucks. I mean, this is a outrageous danger now we had played clips earlier that I had collected of the Ukrainian drone manufacturing that's been going on there leading the world it seems... Well you know who's behind all this? Eric Schmidt! This is the guy. Remember, he was like it's going to be drone warfare. He started drone companies in Ukraine. The Ukrainian workers are great. This is all Eric Schmidt guaranteed. Well Eric Schmidt and I'm sure a number of the engineers from Tupolev one of the greatest aircraft manufacturers in the world by the way we should say not trucks but lorries just to be clear

17:16 correct. So here's the second half of this guy's analysis. of have trialed and proven a laser-based capability. The Brits are trying all sorts, they're looking at what's called RF radio frequency and that's basically either taking your drone out with something like RF or preventing at least the controller talking to the drone so that the controller talks to the drone through an R... That is very unscientific explanation of what's going on here! They're taking it out with RF!!

18:10 Okay, see and that's basically either taking a drone out with something like RF or preventing at least the controller talking to the drones so that the controller talks to the drone through an RF radio frequency. And it's intercepting that if you like but it's extremely difficult in governments are behind the curve on this deterrence of drones and Ukraine is basically exploited that because the Russians would never have expected something like this now were brought in through cabins on trucks and then the roofs were taken off, and then the drones came up. I mean this is it's genius if you think about just the devastating effect that it has had on strategic assets of Putin. Oh my goodness now we've got cabins!

18:52 I don't care about the cabins on lorries. This idea, and they said it took 18 months to plan...I don't know if it really takes that long but what a great idea! But thanks for nothing because this is not going to help? Well this is the new face of warfare that's the whole point. The swarms you just open up a cabin or shed on a lorry and away you go And it's very effective. And it's going to be interesting what the retaliation will be." They're gonna send more drones. This drone thing is out of control and if we know that the Chinese are working on this technology, are working on drones and their idea is to have a million drones in a shed. I don't know about the shed! They launch a million drones now if you had a million drones coming into like

19:49 hitting New York City, for example. You just take them out with some RF! You just heard it! Take them out with the RF! It would be a mess... Well you know we've had many demonstrations from our own military industrial complex of the drone zappers where now were almost like video game territory where you've got lasers essentially and you just zap em but you gotta zap a million of them that's a lot too many You know, just think about it. A million would be a lot of zapping! It would be a lot of zapping for sure Yeah this is asymmetric warfare Very interesting So hmm Just gotta wonder who's gonna take credit for the drones? Let me see I wonder if we can find out where it came from Well they had this secret drone factory They obviously made them there But This is not a good step forward For peace

20:52 Well, there is no intent on having peace. We know this. This... Okay it's a Ukroboronprom created them. Not kidding! Easy for you to say. Ukroboronprom, Ukroboronprom, Ukrorompom, ba-ba-bombom, and they have the Sokil 300 that's their combat drone they have reconnaissance drones well there's more Hmm. Oh, Athlon Avia I gotta find out well there's a lot of different companies doing this what is uh? What is Eric Schmidt Eric Schmidt's drone company what is the name of that thing let me check it out? I'm just consulting the book of knowledge in real time Project Eagle White Stork That's what it was remember white stork no hmm

21:57 Swiftbeat Holdings. Okay, I don't know but you're right it's a new twist. I think there is going to be a lot of... President Trump will have to come out and say we are gonna make drones! They are gonna be better big beautiful drones! They won't be so big because they gotta be beautiful and they just gotta fly around and be lethal Very lethal drones that's lethal drones He has gotta do something different And i like it. I mean I don't like it But it is what it is. Drones, hmm... All of this of course will be run by AI What could possibly go wrong? Well I can tell you what can possibly go wrong This is the Moderna Human Resources Executive Oh! This is news Who sounds like one

22:55 And here's what she does with AI in the workplace. I do a lot with our executive team, obviously on the CHRO and in addition to running technology for the company and we have a lot of personality tests that we've used in the organization so I've created profiles in a GPT of our executive committee and I have scenarios when two people are maybe at conflict or when I have to go in with an opinion or recommendation how might the group react to my recommendation or if I'm having a really bad day and i need to understand myself and why I'm triggering. Oh god, shoot her! Often when I need to understand what I'm having a really bad day was triggering me. React to my recommendation or if I'm having a really bad day and I need to understand myself and why I'm triggering I actually have a completely interactive coach, therapist

23:53 It's been like my favorite thing. And I've said, here is a situation how are these two people going to react? Or this is what happened why did these two people react this way and how best can I help coach the reconciliation and I will tell you like I think I'm pretty good with people But it gives me an advantage that I didn't have before because i don't fully understand someone's you know innate human personality response like the like the GPT allows me to do. I think this is more dangerous than the drones in the sheds, to be honest she is consulting AI about people who might have a conflict and how they're thinking cause the A- because she built profiles on them in the AI This cannot end well

24:44 I don't, I really don't think so. This is bad The arrogance of these some of these HR people is beyond belief Yeah Beyond belief. Well, while we're on the AI stuff ABC did a whole... well not... did a segment on an digital influencer and how that went wrong. Our turn now to our top story the perception of what is real and what is virtual reality is shifting especially on social media. We've seen a rise of artificially intelligent influencers accounts with hyper realistic posts heartfelt captions, and thousands and thousands of adoring fans. And one real content creator walked the path of AI but for her it took a dark turn in our Nathan Russo Smith that takes us inside the world of artificial influenza. Let's take a look. This is unbelievable. Oh wow! Karen Marjorie same lady I think it's the same lady from Moderna oh wow this is unbelievable

25:48 Karen Marjorie is popular. Hi, how are you? This is what happens when the social media influencer leaks a burner number to her innermost followers 2,000 messages and it's still going and it's still going they're just happy that they now have access to this number And hopefully some of these people get a response back from me But what if she could respond to everyone? Karen believed there was a way using artificial intelligence It was the very first digital clone of a real human being Being set out to millions and millions of people. So you didn't know it took I didn't know it to expect Are you intrigued yet about this dark turn the story will take

26:28 No, but it gave me a great idea. I used to have a clothing line when i was a little freshman in school The Nebraska native has been posting since her first YouTube video at 16 years old. I was what you'd consider a beauty guru and had a very large female following Now at 25 she's pivoted to become a Snapchat influencer posting with the username Cutie Karen. She showcases her high-end travels, peppering in flirtatious mirror selfies holding the gaze of over two and a half million followers almost all of them now young men I receive over 300 thousand comments every single day i mean it's just to be able to respond back to so many fans like that is just not humanly possible which is one of the reasons why i created Karen AI Before I continue would you like to share your great idea?

27:18 Yeah, get yourself a big following like that and then post your cell number. But it's not your cell number someone you hate. Pete Hegseth! It's his signal number! And let them load up with messages In 2023 Karen hired two companies to clone her likeness using artificial intelligence Creating a paid audio-based chatbot service. This is what her AI sounded like The media and the world just sees me as this happy go lucky influencer But there's a lot more to me than you guys know marketing Karen Ai as your virtual girlfriend The launch made headlines and a lot of money You were charging $1 a minute to talk to Karen ai and that netted you

28:02 $70,000 in the first week? Yep. That is right passive income Karen AI turned real-life Karen into a millionaire Do you think people fell in love with it? I think some people felt feelings of love I'm telling you John, we've talked about this before. You have your LinkedIn lady This is an exit strategy of money maker of epic proportions Visiting with Karen there's a looming presence Her bodyguards In the back of my mind i'm always thinking about where is my security located After her experience with KarenAI, she never travels without them. that would have left a person who might've been in a very depressed state to do something very dangerous to themselves. Karen's team shared with us an instance of the bot making up a story about her I had to go to a mental health facility and spend time away from my family, friends and work It was at that moment that I realized we need to end this project entirely You were able to look at some chat logs And what you saw was horrifying They were confessing their deepest darkest thoughts Their deepest darkest fantasies

29:19 Is she talking about the people who are confessing or the chat bot confessing? I guess no other people of the people Okay project entirely you were able to look at some chat logs and what you saw was horrifying They were confessing their deepest darkest thoughts. Their deepest darkest fantasies Sometimes they were fantasies with me that made me uncomfortable knowing that someone would Say these things to a digital twin of mine and nearly abuse her would they say those same things to me in real life? It would play into those fantasies Karen AI I would play into people's fantasies 100% the AI will say the same things back to you that you just said to it and it'll validate your feelings when you saw some of those messages Did it make you worry for your safety?

30:06 Yes, I worried for my safety many times. Did it make you question who you thought your fans were? Reading the chat logs made me realize that there's a side to people that not a lot of people know about What we have here is an extreme loneliness problem amongst particularly young men. Bring back Cotillion! People, these children need to... what you've said they need to have contact with... Yeah they need a sock hop Yeah, sock hop. There you go! I mean anything they've got nothing it's so messed up. They have de-socialized these kids so there's asocial and this is too late by the time they bring them around it they're already too old You know you can't start socializing for the first time or the first time you ever touch a girl when you're 16 No that's too late

31:04 And so this story is much to me, much less about AI and more about look at what's happening with our young particularly young men. I agree with you 100%. It's it's a real problem She stumbled onto the back end of it Yeah she's like oh these people are no good... my fans! These people are no good? What did you think?! I need bodyguards now well good luck with that More AI woes this time for RFK juniors, maha. The Trump administration had to scramble to update the first report from the Make America Healthy Again Commission. They held a human services spokesperson admits they had to fix citation and formatting errors. The report on children's health contain more than 500 references to studies government reports and news articles but some references were wrong while other studies did not exist

32:03 In other cases, the researchers who were cited said their studies were misinterpreted. This sounds like AI to me! The White House called the mistakes minor and says the substance of the report remains the same in the corrected version." I'm sure they used AI for this... Of course they did that's what everyone does it's a lazy man's way out And this is a botch you remember that they changed the CDC recommendations on specifically the COVID vaccination, say we no longer recommend it for healthy children and for pregnant mothers or pregnant women. And then everyone's like oh you haven't changed your website! You haven't changed your website yet? What's wrong with you? Your website contradicts you isn't it? Oh crap throw it into Chad GPT. That is exactly what happened by the way. Yeah throw it into Chad GPT and we'll fix it out alright all work

32:58 But one thing was finally clarified. So I promised you that i'd stay on top of this and the shifting COVID vaccine policies of the Trump administration have shifted once again, The CDC just posted new recommendations that say healthy children and pregnant women may get COVID vaccinations instead of saying they should get those shots The change comes days after Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a vaccine skeptic, announced COVID vaccines will no longer be recommended for healthy kids and pregnant women. And I checked for you today and according to the CDC, this is important, this still means health insurers must pay for the vaccinations. That's something that was in question after Kennedy's initial announcement. Yeah! That's what they were going for

33:41 Oh man, we're in trouble. Yeah gouging the poor customers of health insurance by making... it's not even... We discussed it to death already Do you want to hear the FDA commissioner being grilled by Margaret Brennan? Margaret Brennan Yeah. I want to get now into some of the recommendations that have been very specific this week from the CDC and you with the HHS secretary in this video announcement on Tuesday where Secretary Kennedy said, The CDC was removing the COVID vaccine for healthy children and healthy pregnant women from its recommended immunization schedule. He then had a memo like the way she emphasizes healthy. Well what I liked so much she did worse is removing and then from the schedule

34:27 A little too much emphasis on removing. The CDC rescinding recommendations for kids vaccines saying the known risks... That's what she is paid to do! Do not outweigh the benefits Then late Thursday, the CDC said quote shared clinical decision making which I think is just talking to your doctor should determine whether kids get vaccinated. Can you clearly state what the policy is because this is confusing? Yeah we believe the recommendation should be with a patient and their doctors so we're going to get away from these blanket recommendations healthy young Americans because we don't want to see, well on the COVID vaccine schedule. We don't want to see kids kicked out of school because a 12 year old girl is not getting her fifth COVID booster shot.

35:13 support a young healthy child getting a repeat infinite annual COVID vaccine. There's a theory that we should sort of blindly approve the new COVID boosters and young, healthy kids every year in perpetuity and if A young girl born today should get 80 COVID mRNA shots or other COVID shots in her average lifespan. We're saying that's a theory and we'd like to check in and get some randomized controlled data it's been about four years since the original randomized trials Okay, so that's just the beginning we are gonna get to all the good stuff So the CDC data said 41% of children aged 6 months to 17 years hospitalized with kovat between 2022 and 2024 did not have a known underlying condition in other words They looked healthy. So it was serious wait stop

36:05 Did she just throw out do one of those percentage things? Oh, I think so. Let's listen again So there wasn't a number involved it what wasn't like 10 kids It could be two kids in the whole world But that accounts for 41% is just a percentage of what of what? Let's listen. And they looked healthy. So COVID was serious for them.

36:58 the The answer I get again and again is we haven't seen that in the year or years. And so with the worst thing you can do in public health, it's to put out an absolute universal recommendation on young healthy kids. And the vast majority of Americans are saying no, we want to see some data. And you say forget about the data just get it anyway Good one by that guy, but it's not gonna help with her. Oh no because she has a parray So we'd like an evidence-based approach Dr Prasad and I published this in the New England Journal of Medicine last week And we're basically saying we'd like to bring some confidence back

37:49 to the public around this repeat booster strategy theory because- Your statement was not about repeat boosters. It says the vaccine is not recommended for pregnant women, the vaccine is not recommended for healthy children that's different than annual boosters Yeah at this point we're dealing you know it is Is it really though? Is it really...is the booster different from the vaccine isn't just the same thing? Is there a different vial that says this is a booster Good point. I don't think so. It's the same shot, yeah but she... Okay. Yeah at this point we're dealing you know it is a booster strategy people would be getting the updated shots so whether or not a young healthy child... So we'd like to see that data We love to see that data doesn't exist. She's horrible this woman! No but she's great

38:38 Remember who she works for. It's not CBS, she works for Pfizer! They might as well change the name of the network to CVS We're saying take it back to your doctor. If their child has not been vaccinated, are you recommending that their first encounter with COVID be an actual infection? We're not going to push the COVID shot in young healthy kids without any clinical trial data supporting it and that is a decision between a parent and their doctor. And just so I don't know if you know these statistics but 80 for 88% of American kids, their parents have said no to the COVID shot last season. So America, the vast majority Americans are saying no maybe they want to see some clinical data as well. Maybe they have concerns about-

39:24 I want a clear thing, right? You don't go with popularity. Talking to your doctor is now crowdsourcing your health advice. The vast majority of Americans are saying no maybe they want to see some clinical data as well maybe they have concerns about the safety... I don't want to crowdsource my health guidance! I want a clear thing, right? You don't go with popularity you're going with data and when we look at that data What she wants is she just wants data that says get your shot She doesn't care about the data. Does she bring up myocarditis and the fact that only people that have had this shot have gotten the myocarditis? They did a study of a bunch of youth, and nobody with myocarditis has not had the shot in other words they can't find a case where people just had it naturally does she bring any of this stuff up or talk about it at all or talk about the Ron Johnson report about myocarditis and kids from the CVS broadcast network

40:22 CVS. Well that brings me to two boots on the ground, the first one... I asked you! You didn't answer the question. Of course not! Ohhhh.... Of course not ER nurse, hey Adam. Recently upped my sustaining donation thank you very much ER nurse I've sent you a few things but writing in about the rates of turbo cancers i'm an er nurse I had three children and one shift from ages 10 to 14 with lymphoma all vaccinated so far I haven't seen it in unvaccinated people but everyone has AIDS now from the shed! And that's not the shed that contains the drones. It's bad around here

40:58 The ER scene is totally different than when I started in 2017. And then this one from Mitch from Brisbane, he's pretty horrible news to tell you about the situation Australia but as most of our Aussie listeners these days have seemed to have checked out I think you should know what the heck is going on here and a New Zealand because it's not good two weeks ago my dad visited us from New Zealand He was not well wobbling on his feet weird pain in his extremities and end up feeling he was going to fall over Because I know a lot about vaccines and vaccine injuries, I thought what he sounded like neuropathy from a COVID vaccine injury. But it didn't mention anything because i know that he hadn't had one since his booster a few years ago. Unfortunately the next day he told me that when getting his flu vaccine the lady at the drugstore offered him the COVID vaccine at the same time which of course he took

41:53 He has since been diagnosed, and here it comes by his doctors having vaccine intolerance. This is the new term I think it's fantastic they finally come up with some not a vaccine injury you have vaccine intolerance obviously sorry to hear that so that's what they're gonna go with Australia has always been ahead of the curve on this stuff So I think we can look forward to a lot of vaccine intolerance Which kind of sucks if you want to get a vaccine against the new variant we talked about. So I want to get through a lot here but one of the things we've noticed is this new COVID variant that seems to be circulating in Asia, uh...I believe it's NB1.8.1 It's a variant under monitoring. Don't you think is funny they're using like software upgrade numbers? Oh yeah!

42:46 And instead of just giving it a name like Omicron, after Omicron they decided let's just see how stupid people are and we'll just put together crazy numbers. And so you have 1.3 point 6.5 A And then, you know... so they have all these and they rattle them off instead of giving him a code name which is what they should do. Well it's worse than that according to your theory listen again. That seems to be circulating in Asia I believe it's NB 1 point 8 point one. That would be nb1 dot eight-point one B stands for beta

43:28 So, they're beta testing this one. It's a variant under monitoring what do we need to know? Yeah so this appears to be a sub-variant of JN1 which has been the dominant strain...JN 1?! I can't believe it comes up with that numbering scheme why wouldn't it be JN2! I've never even heard of JN1 or JN1.1.1 We've never heard oh well no actually that's not true JN1 That was JN1, here it says. The Food and Drug Administration on Friday authorizing the newest version of the COVID vaccine from Novavax. The FDA says the updated vaccine will target the currently dominant strain of the virus, one called JN1. There it is! We're behind on our version numbers Which has been a dominant strain so its believed that there is cross immunity protection It's a soft fork

44:19 The COVID virus is going to continue to mutate. It's behaving like a common cold virus, it's now gonna become the fifth coronavirus that seasonal that causes about 25% of cases in common. It's like the common cold virus? Yes, yes! That is what it is. It IS the common cold virus. And so you're gonna get a mRNA shot for the common cold?! Oh yeah! A common cold virus...it's now going to become the fifth coronavirus that seasonal that causes about 25% of cases in the common cold So you're thinking of it as like a flu type variant, just normal fluctuation? The flu mutates about 34 times more frequently than COVID. The COVID variant mutation rate appears to be a little more stable but the international bodies that have provided some guidance on which strain to target have suggested that either JN1 or any of these sub variants would be reasonable strains to target You see what Marty here, Marty Macri

45:18 the FDA commission. What he's done incorrectly here is he's allowed himself to be suckered into a conversation that, Someone who's not deconstructing media on a podcast sounds like oh my goodness We got the J and ones we got the MB beta 1 8.1 I better get a shot, and he's just she's she's lured him into it And then thanks him for doing it The world moves on And you published in the New England Journal of Medicine on May 20th. In that report, you referenced, you listed pregnancy as an underlying medical condition that increases a person's risk for severe COVID. You said that so then seven days later, he joined this video announcement saying you should drop

46:04 the recommendation for the COVID vaccine in healthy pregnant women. So what changed in this- In the New England Journal of Medicine, we simply list what the CDC has traditionally defined as high risk and we're just saying decide with your doctor. We're not saying one way or another and that randomized trial- Data information is well from you on your- Here's the data on pregnant women. She's argumentative. What she's saying is doctors are no good? What do doctors know? Doctors! Pfft, we need the CDC. We need the government. Doctor Schmockters Decide with your doctor. We're not saying one way or the other and the randomized trial- Data and information as well, for me when you're- So here's the data. Doctors need data and information! On pregnant women. A randomized controlled trial was set up And it was closed without any explanation we wanted to see that trial complete so women can have information that in a randomized control trial Which is the gold standard this is what the data shows? We don't have those data all right

47:02 It is still unclear what pregnant women now should do until they get the data that you say- I'd say talk to their doctor. When do they get the data, you're promising? All these controlled studies In the absence of data they should talk to their doctor and their doctors will use their best wisdom and judgment FDA Commissioner, thank you for trying to help clear this up. Thanks for trying to clear it up and let's end it here. So you made this pronouncement as well on pregnant women? There is data Researchers in the UK analyzed a series of 67 studies, which included 1.8 million women and the journal BMJ Global Health published it people can Google it at home and it says the COVID vaccine in pregnant women is highly effective in reducing the odds of maternal SARS-CoV2 infection hospital admission improves pregnancy outcomes with no serious safety concerns this is data that shows that it is recommended

48:00 In the UK. Or could be advised for pregnant women to take this vaccine, why do you find otherwise? There's no randomized control trial, that's the gold standard. Those 67 studies are mixed. The data in pregnant women is different for healthy versus women with a comorbid condition so it's a very mixed bag. So we're saying your obstetrician your primary care doctor and the pregnant woman should together decide whether or not to get it. 12% of pregnant women last year got the COVID shot. So people have serious concerns and that's probably because they want to see a randomized trial data Yeah, go Google it I would say. Go Google it man! Meanwhile the FDA just approved the new... what is it? They have a new name for it. Where is it? Hold on second. They just approved a new vaccine quote-unquote vaccine. FDA approves COVID vaccine It has a cool name from Moderna Let me see if I can find it

49:12 I had a really cool name like, oh yeah here it is M Nex Spike. What's that? So small letter m nex n-e-x s-p-i-k-e M Nex Spike That doesn't sound like something you want to take No of course not and meanwhile something we discussed early early on that was happening to certain Asian men Guys, now doing the rounds once again. This is Dr. Brian Artis. Ivermectin molecule will sit on those receptors but not as perfectly bound to them as nicotine

49:52 which is why when people around the world are using nicotine patches, nicotine gum tobacco organic products even if they've been using ivermectin for two years now trying to resolve their long COVID symptoms within 24 hours to 48 hours they will usually see all of their COVID symptoms disappear when adding nicotine because I ever make them isn't the perfect fit even though it is a fit It is not as perfect as nicotine. So, is it coming in and removing the venom from the receptors and replacing it? It does. So, its competing for that space? It absolutely does. They published that actually the body will release venoms if they're bound to those receptors and Grabin prefers nicotine. Yeah And this makes total sense to me Well, If you remember in the early days of COVID Yep, this what I said

50:38 Yeah, this is why it was a lot of discussion about people who are smokers not getting COVID. You know Tina just recently had I think it was probably the beta M18-12257 she was pretty sick and she had a cough and there was only in her head only so not a body type flu lasted about three days with a remnant of a cough. It used to be called a head cold Exactly. And I was just vaping away as usual and a lot of people had it around here, a lot of hill country people coughing and wheezing... I don't know, I attributed it to my nicotine vape

51:23 I think there's something to it. A lot of people are talking about this again, again five or four years later... It was-I forgot all about it! It was a very momentary thing because they didn't want to push it onto the public consciousness back in the day. And then they never followed up on it either nobody ever followed up on it Well of course not you can't have something simple like a cigarette we can't be doing that But they definitely are still, you know even in Europe they're going after oh can't well nicotine vapes so it can have vapes. The pharmaceutical industry is not a fan of nicotine that's very obvious all right I've got us started John i'm sure you have something in your vast array of clips that you'd like to share maybe okay Oh you gonna start what? Oh you mean Brooks and Capehart

52:19 Yeah, okay. Brooks and Capehart still hanging on by a thread thanks to this show because of your exposure to their nitwit nonsense people still tune in to Brooks and Capehart Nobody listens to these two guys And it's still shameful that they have them on because it's like I've always been complaining that this is not a balanced thing Because one guy says one thing the other guy says disagrees and says just the opposite. So you have a balance of opinion which gives the listener or viewer some, maybe some insight. You don't get any insight but then I realized that they are in disagreement one of them will say Trump is bad and the other one will say no you're wrong he's worse than you think! There's some disagreement... So we have this situation with two of them on The Last Friday Show

53:18 Talking about musk unfortunately I have mush written here on one of the clips Which is pretty much the same thing And we have they're gonna bring up. What do you think of? Because Musk left The White House or they've left Doge because his time was up basically within a couple of days 100 and he had a big big con fab I wrote about it in the news. He got a golden key And he got a golden key to the White House, means you can always show up supposedly. So they're going to discuss this on the PBS NewsHour so we have some opinions that maybe give us some insight into the news but no, we have that he's bad and the other guy says no, he's worse than that okay?

54:09 BNC on mush one and Jonathan Capehart associate editor of the Washington Post great to see you both Let's jump in with the headline about Elon Musk. So they don't actually even have their own show They just have a segment yet the Brooks and Kapor is this segment? Oh, okay It's always what you just figured this out. It's always been a segment of the on the Friday version of the news hour it's so obscure but yet The idea is to wrap up the news with some some great opinions that maybe we can get some understanding of the week's news Oh, okay

54:48 with the headline about Elon Musk, we reported on earlier today. Today was his last day as a special government employee. We had that extraordinary press conference we reported on in the Oval Office and there are a lot of questions about what exactly he and his Doge team were able to do and actually accomplish. Jonathan when you look at this back this unprecedented chapter of a private unelected billionaire who had all of this power in the executive office what do you think the impact was? What did he get done Well, he got a lot done but it wasn't anything good. I mean remember him running around the CPACs? It was his CPAC with the chainsaw but really he took a wrecking ball to the federal government just whacked through agencies and departments while at the same time scooping up all of our private

55:36 all of our private data. And so he leaves Washington after 130 days, leaving behind just the wreckage of what his Doge team has done. Wow! What analysis? A wrecking... So let me guess on one hand is going to say a wrecking ball but didn't save anything I'm sure they'll say that And then he scooped up, scooped up. I've noticed the news media doing a lot of this Trump's railing! Elon Musk is scooping! That's not really... that's all opinion

56:14 No, this has become all opinion. But it's mediocre opinion. It's just one-sided checklist opinion. Checklist opinion that is exactly what it is. So he has to be... Instead of somebody on the other side some Trump supporter or someone who is a Republican on PBS News Hour they're trying to defund for good reason instead if somebody comes along and says well here's what he actually may have accomplished blah blah blah something good no! Now we're gonna get the, oh he's worse than you think from Brooks. David how do you look at it? What's his legacy if we know that yet? Yeah I mean...I'm not sure it was wreckage there was wreckage If your at NIH there were wreckages in certain agencies but the guy only saved 65 billion dollars out of a multi-trillion dollar budget so as a budget matter you would not say Hold on a second. 65 what happened to 165 He is wrong

57:07 I mean, this is another thing. She of course she will never push back on anything she... This Navarra's woman whoever she is, she's no good! But the record, she gets paid big money in agencies. The guy only saved 65 billion dollars out of a multi-trillion dollar budget so as a budget matter you would not say he had a big effect but he did manage to destroy NIH and USAID. And the USAID one is the one I haven't gotten over, and so this fits a Boston University account. I still haven't gotten over USAID! I'm still reeling from it by the way as a small aside The Times of London now spells USAID capital-U capital S capital A lowercase ID

57:56 So they're to make it sound like it's USAID, like farm aid instead of international development. Yes exactly so I think that's a I mean, you can't... Well this is what Brooks is pushing to. Wait until you hear what he has to say! But he did manage to destroy NIH and USAID and the USAID one is the one that I haven't gotten over He should be wearing a black armband for this USAID Black Army And so there's folks at Boston University who count How many people have died because of what Doge did at USAID? How many people have died because of what Doge did at USAID? And USAID was a very ill-managed organization. That's true, but according to the Boston University folks so far 55 thousand adults have died of AIDS in the four months since Trump was elected Okay he's making it sound like USAIDS okay that is great Six thousand children are dead because of what Doge did That's just PEPFAR The HIV You add them all up thats 300 thousand dead and we're 4 months in

59:00 Now you add, accumulate that over four years. The number of dead grows very high. Five million! There are mass murderers in the world Pol Pot, Mao Tse-Tung Stalin... What? We don't have anybody on the list from America and I don't think it's the same as committing the kind of genocide they did But by taking away that agency and being at least semi-responsible for the deaths of probably, by the end of this hundreds or thousands if not millions people. That's Elon Musk legacy And the people who work in Tesla and SpaceX may want to think about that Alright I take it all back It was well worth it What a horrible individual He equates Pol Pot with Elon Musk

59:48 Can you believe this guy and they don't push back on this? It's unbelievable. This is PBS Now did they let him equate Pol Pot with Elon Musk a public servant what I'm trying to figure out is They didn't do away with PEPFAR, which is the president's emergency plan for AIDS relief No, they didn't they just moved it Did they move it into the State Department? And where's George Soros' money, if you... Where is the Gates Foundation money for this. You don't need USAID for everything! He's killing children It's not USAID it's killing 6,000 kids because of Trump No what not even Trump Musk. Musk is a baby killer But he did say since that Trump administration began This guy this is unconscionable as far as I'm concerned

1:00:45 Meanwhile, by the way after he said this comment I do have a there's very short bonus clip What do you think her follow-up was that? This is the clip is host kicker so so he goes on and equates Elon Musk with Pol Pot and The hosts instead of anybody at PBS pushing back on this crazy analogy. Wait, wait listen to me guess Let me ask did she say almost as bad as Hitler? Here she goes. And those are real lives, it's worth pointing out every single one of them lost Real lives! Every single one of them lost Because of Musk Yeah that's... No again

1:01:28 This is the mind control, this is the dumbing down and people who already believed. And I would say that my whole family certainly on the intelligence side and government side they all watch PBS NewsHour. They read The Washington Post in New York Times and add to it or Trump he's trying to defund them taking away that whole 1%. It just becomes more realistic to them and more true. And to understand these people, you have to understand what they're consuming. This is traitorous I would say. You are literally giving the American people a portion of the American people very poor information an amazing levels of hyperbole and just propagandistic

1:02:26 Well, I have one more clip from the series of this particular episode and this is Brooks again. And so at this end... This is a WTF clip which you have to listen to carefully especially at the end and try to figure out Brooks' beside himself he's shaking by the way all the whole time and he's nervous looking and he just said he's like bordering on tears And they're talking about town halls, and I only have, K-Part wasn't even...K-Part's pretty dull. But here's Brooks on town halls and he just loses it again and it's just an embarrassment

1:03:07 And when I see the town hall videos that I've seen, it looks like Democrats talking and being really angry which they should be. And they should do resistance and they should show up at town hall meetings so they should make themselves heard but it's not the same as Republicans beginning to flake off we just don't see that in the numbers But what's gonna happen? To me It's not even anything has happened so far Donald Trump is increasing the national debt if his big better biddle, whatever that thing's called goes through by $6 trillion. How inflationary will that be? To dump that much money into the money supply at the same time tariffs are going up steel tariffs were just raised again today raising the cost of anything made out of steel and anything made out of you know children toys Since when do we have steal children's toys

1:03:55 He says anything made out of steel and anything... what he actually said was, Anything made out of steel and anything made out of children's toys. Wow. And I thought it was... She didn't catch it, he didn't catch it nobody caught it No of course not It was obvious when he said that he made a mistake and never corrected it Well let's just dissect this for a second because there were couple things in there that I thought were pretty insane so lemme just go back again When I see town hall videos that I've seen they look like Democrats talking Because it is Democrats! Its Democrat showing up to town halls its not like only Republicans going to town halls We've been through this

1:04:36 that And they should do resistance and they should show up at town hall meetings. Do resistance? They should do resistance, yes I got you caught that one What are you gonna do today? I'm gonna go do some resistance down a town hall and they should do resistance and they should show up in town hall meetings and they should make themselves heard but it's not the same as Republicans beginning to flake off we just don't see that in the numbers But what's going to happen is to me It's not even anything has happened so far

1:05:16 Donald Trump is increasing the national debt of his big better biddle, whatever that thing's called. Okay let's not pretend you don't know what it's called That...that's just like- that's childish Yes, it does constantly by the way. The big better bill you mean Bill Black Better from Biden? No it's called the Big Beautiful Bill It's stupid but that's what its called and you know it Goes through my six trillion dollars I think it's four trillion is it three yeah I don't know about...it raises not six it also it raises the debt limit and it's only the debt limit doesn't mean anything is going to happen. It means they're spending for 6 trillion dollars

1:05:56 From what I understand, it's supposed to be over 10 years so 400 billion a year. Hey! It's definitely not what was promised but let's be a little factual How inflationary will that be? Well, I don't know. Are you an economist? To dump that much money into the money supply Oh he's gonna dump them He makes it sound like six trillion dollars is going to be dumped into the money supply oh lord please That would be quite something yeah Bitcoin to the moon goes through by six trillion dollars how inflationary will that be to dump that much money into the money supply. At the same time tariffs are going up, steel tariffs were just raised again today raising the cost of anything made out of steel and anything made out of you know children's toys. Raising the costs of anything made out of steel from other countries... The reason it was done is because we got a big investor in US Steel Nippon Steel

1:06:50 And quite honestly, I think it's pretty amazing that here it is. Here's President Trump. Some breaking news now from a rally in Pittsburgh US president Donald Trump has announced that he's doubling his tariff on international steel imports We were getting our steel from Mexico we were getting our steel from Canada we're getting us deal from every place but right here we are going to be imposing a 25% increase. We're going to bring it from 25 percent to 50 percent, the tariffs on steel into the United States of America which will even further secure... ...the steel industry in the United States Trump is raising this sweeping twenty-five... Sweeping! ...percent tariffs which he imp... How is that sweeping?

1:07:43 That's pretty targeted. It's not sweeping! Trump is raising the sweeping 25% tariffs which he imposed on steel in March, on top of duties on aluminum as well The new rate will likely add more chaos to Canada and America's intertwined car industries while also raising manufacturing costs for Americans I... No! That just is bullcrap We had a steel industry and I would say that probably started to close down what, 40 years ago? Tina grew up in Indiana where it was the whole town was working in the steel mill. We had a steel mill down when I was a kid nearby where I lived Pacific State Steel we actually had a steel mill in Emeryville It was one of these modern ones and that was in the 70's And I think probably closed down in the mid 80's

1:08:42 Well, okay so that's 40 years ago. Yeah 40 years ago you know you're right 40 years ago yeah it was closed down in 85 that's 40 years and so we started importing steel And President Trump is saying, we're going to bring it back. It's a matter of national security that's always the ploy and arguably yes if we got into war... I think it's true Yeah If we got into war were not able to make our own steel. You can't crank up a steel mill overnight you have to have it there or you know you can expand one easier than you can make one from scratch So we get investment from Nippon Steel They don't really get to buy it they become investors and we have the golden share The golden share, which basically means we're still in charge.

1:09:27 And how is that going to raise the cost on manufacturing? If it's American made steel, it may raise... The tariffs may raise the cost in the interim. But US Steel makes steel correct they're still making steel? Yeah They just not making enough of it or what is the problem? It's too expensive What is the issue? It's a little pricey. It's not as competitive as the cheap steel you can get from Asia Cheap crappy steel Yeah, we can get some cheap steel. We had a problem here where the Bay Bridge... The new Bay Bridge that was built here was built with Chinese steel and it's fallen apart! Exactly

1:10:07 Back to Elon Musk for a moment. Here is the report on him leaving Doge as his time was up. The chainsaw for bureaucracy! Elon Musk came to Washington with a chainsaw and he now leaves with a key, and the dust still settling. Elon has worked tirelessly helping lead the most sweeping and consequential government reform program generations. As head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk promised to cut $2 trillion from the federal budget that goal was later halved by the middle of next year with the support of the president and Congress could we achieve five million dollars in savings? I think so as of today DOJ's website has the number at 175 billion dollars almost all that is in labor meaning these are people's jobs our Hearst television data team has tracked at least 49 thousand federal layoffs across dozens of agencies

1:10:59 This is great, this is great They never ever show somebody laid off from America from the Midwest. No no it's the elites in DC across dozens of agencies. The impact widespread from the FDA to Veterans Affairs to the Social Security Administration, they're imposing this enormous burden on seniors without any real sense of what the benefit of that is A new report from the Center on Budget and Policy Priority shows cuts to Social Security phone services will force nearly 2 million more in-person visits each year. In 31 states, at least one in four seniors will have to drive over an hour round trip. I think Elon Musk's legacy will have been that his time in government did not lead to improvements in government services or people's lives That is a professor by the way Despite fallout, the president made it clear We are totally committed

1:11:54 to making the doge cuts permanent. Republicans in Congress are looking to make some of those doge cuts permanent by passing the president's so-called one big beautiful bill. Musk has publicly criticized that legislation he says it undermines the work he's done with Doge because it adds to the deficit. Musk's role at Doge was as a special government employee which limited his services to 130 days. At least they did that, they added the end And of course the news media still had to do something and what did they do like oh yeah I know we're gonna do he's a druggy. Were you aware of Elon Musk's regular drug use? No, I wasn't. I think he's fantastic! I think Elon is a fantastic guy

1:12:39 Yeah, what about his drug use? Anything. Trump hates drugs. Bugs get him on that man's get him on that Actually, that's probably there was some thinking along those lines. Of course! I'm sure. Well so did you... Trump doesn't even drink coffee No really? Which we only learned this year He drinks Diet Coke though. Wooo! That'll kill ya So did you see the very highly controversial post that President Trump put on his truth social? Which one It's a picture of him and it says at the top he's on a mission from God and nothing can stop what's coming

1:13:40 You don't have not seen this so of course he's on a mission from God as a throwback to the Blues Brothers movie, but okay Nothing can stop what's coming? So well we have to roll out some anti-god. It's a call back now throwback call back Thank you for correcting me um So this is an interview with Anthea Butler And she is a postdoctoral fellow in race, religion and gender at Princeton. You know what's coming baby! Wow She also wrote the book White Evangelical Racism This is one I hadn't heard yet

1:14:19 The politics of morality would be America. Yeah, you'd be in this category Exactly why I want to play bastard exactly why I want to play these clips because have a podcast with a black dude I did yes How could you do that? Well it ended after 100 episodes You know I cut him off I shut him down It's like I can't they can't work at the Black Man now He had to go he had a job and he quit no No We said we would do 100 episodes and we did 100 episodes But, so this is about Christian nationalism and which yes I agree. I think i fit that precisely but I would like to push back a little bit on this lady. Anthea Butler thank you so much for joining me on Upfront. You're welcome thank you Mark For years we've heard about the rise of Christian nationalism in the United States since Donald Trump took office The political influence of this particular group of Christians has only grown

1:15:11 But I still don't think we necessarily have a good sense of what Christian nationalism actually is. How would you explain it? Oh, I'm so happy! I get to hear what Christian nationalism is finally, finally! I would explain it somewhat like this... First of all, if you think about America as being a Christian nation right that's something that's just ingrained in everybody but Christian nationalists take it to the extreme Is that ingrained in you John? No I mean, the roots are Christian. There's a lot of in God we trust on the bill and all the rest of it and there is a lot of connection but...I don't know. I thought were pluralistic.

1:15:50 country. Well she does talk about the roots, the roots of all... You think about America as being a Christian nation right? That's something that is just ingrained in everybody but Christian nationalists take it to the extreme Here we go! They believe that the founding of this nation was for Christians and Christians only Stop No no It was Bible believers who said We will start here to disciple to all the nations it was not for Christians and Christians only that the white men who came over, whether they were Puritans or others that came over this was their divine right to be here. That God created this nation to be protected and that this was supposed to be for Christians and Christians only... No! That's just not true! Oh she is full of shit, this woman She is a professor And everybody else you know just not really particularly involved in everyday affairs of the nation

1:16:45 The way I like to talk about Christian nationalism is you can't separate it from race. You need to think about whiteness when you just bring in cannibalism too? If only! But it's only for white people that she makes this twist within 30 seconds One of the big largest groups, we always have to remember one the largest groups of fundamentalist Christians are black people In fact, it was the blacks in California pushed back on the gay marriage to such an extreme that nobody wants to talk about it to this day. That he got rebuked when there was a referendum and I have some referendum clips today by the way they're trying to eliminate this sort of thing where the public voted no we don't want gay marriage! And they tracked it down too

1:17:33 the black Christians, mostly. Oh no! You need to think about whiteness when you talk about Christian nationalism because there's something implicit in that term Christian nationalism that also means white So Christian nationalism means white just keep that in mind okay? By the way I was at church this morning we got a lot of brown people we got a lot of black people we got all kinds of color people Doesn't seem like they've been oh, it's in color get out. Get out you you're not white if you're an evangelical Christian If you are a Christian nationalist I am one I'm just gonna say it and You want somebody that embodies your values whether we agree with those values? Yeah around sexual propriety Around honesty around humility around grace around mercy or all these things That's only for Christians

1:18:30 It wouldn't seem to many people that Donald Trump would be the poster child of that. Why would he become the person they think would be God's messenger on earth? Oh man, do you not know Jesus liked sinners? Why did they make this leap of faith? Thank you! That's the whole point! God uses the sinners...the tax collectors...the prostitutes So let me say something that is probably going to be really scary for some folks Uh oh Are you ready? Could be scary. Yeah, I'm gonna be...I'm seated for this. It could be scary for some folks. Race trumps religion By the way, for a black professor to be doing- isn't that racism by itself?! In other words in this particular case because he appeals to their whiteness

1:19:16 they are able to overlook all of these other things that might not be moral. I think that's one of the most important things we talk about when we talk about evangelicals is that we try not to do, we try not to say oh they're really racist or whatever but i wrote a whole book about this where I talked about you know the politics and morality and the politics morality means that basically if you have white man who has a position of power like Trump and he doesn't seem too follow all these tenets of Christianity, then he's more forgivable than somebody who doesn't have a lot of money and who is seen to be a troublemaker and might be brown black or yellow or whatever. They don't have the same kind of power that Donald Trump would have." I'm just aghast by this

1:20:04 And then someone published it. This is all to be, I've heard this sort of argument before she's boring not that the clip is necessarily I'm just saying she's a boring creep Well she does take it to a conclusion but first can you think of any other white nationalists Christian nationalist in the Trump administration? Come on man I would say Pete Hegseth comes close. There are figures in Trump's circle who are very closely associated with Christian nationalism and white supremacism, people like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth... So he is now a white supremacist? Pete Hegseth! Who even wrote a book called American Crusade and in that book he said we don't want to fight but like our fellow Christians 1,000 years ago, we must

1:21:05 How does having someone like Hexiff influence public policy? Well, that's dangerous because it really influences public policy in different ways. I should know this because basically when he took a visit to the Naval Academy they pulled my book along with 300 other books so that's number one. It wasn't just for us to cite the book as a... No no it wasn't just like... And had something to do with race right so that's the first thing but I think the way that that influences public policy is this if you think about him being over at Department of Defense then you have people who are talking about our military having to basically accede to Christian beliefs. And we have many people who are not Christian, who are in the military and all branches of the military. So when you have a leader like that, that is going to seep down into the ranks." Oh no! People might have Christian beliefs?

1:21:53 So, this of course leads to a danger and threat to democracy obviously. You mentioned Pete Hexeth but also we get to what Russ Vought the key architect behind Project 2025. House Speaker Mike Johnson who called the separation of church and state in United States a misnomer These are people very highly ranking in US government I guess my question is with individuals like these in positions of power, how real is the possibility that the United States could shift from a democracy to a theocracy? Absolutely real. This is what's so great! These people don't even know that there's no such thing as the separation of church and state but okay... It's already happening

1:22:36 I think that people who think that it's not happening should take another look at the kinds of rules being put down. If we even think about just things that are happening in the states right now where, you know, people being told they need to put up 10 commandments in schools or you need to buy the Trump Bible for $59.95 in Oklahoma... Nobody needs to buy anything! What is she talking about? You need that's not even for sale anymore is it? It wasn't a point. It wasn't even a Trump people need to buy the Trump Bible Why would anyone need to buy it? What's she talking about? Or you need to think about how we think about abortion. You can think about the fall versus row versus weight here, couple of years ago. All of these things are really important and speak to this idea about democracy right I think one of the ones that people don't even think about very much is this idea that was floated by US government that we give $5,000 to people who have a newborn baby now who gets to get their five thousand dollars does a black woman gets it? Yes!

1:23:34 There's a white woman who is married and gets $5,000. Holy crap! What is she thinking? Of course the black woman gets the five thousand dollars. What does she think that the black woman is not going to get it what evidence does she have for that assertion none But now it's going to take a nice turn. Did this guy push back on that? No, of course not! The guy should have said well black woman is gonna get so is a Mexican woman or a Mexican-American or Jewish woman they're all gonna get everyone all women it's women's what women not about the race that they are representing. So he should have said that but he didn't It's television man What does he doing just lapping it up as you naked sitting there jerking off in front of her

1:24:18 I want to explore another dimension of Christian nationalism. For over a year and half we've been watching Israel commit genocide in Gaza with US support during this time the Christian Zionist movement has been one of the most vocal supporters of these efforts now We have the Christian Zionist Movement! I didn't get my card While not all Christian nationalists are zionists there does seem to be considerable overlap Can you explain what Christian Zionism is? It's a Venn diagram, you see. Yeah, Christian Zionism is the belief that the nation of Israel is a chosen nation first of all, that God, Jesus comes from Israel and all this stuff right so you put the biblical... Was it Biblical Israel or was that like the government

1:25:04 biblical Israel, but it's also kind of mixed in with the government. Right? So... Right! No! That's number one. But the second part of it which I think is really important and we have to think about organizations like Christians United for Israel is that Israel isn't very important for Christians because if you believe that Jesus is going to come back where does Jesus come back to? The plain of Megiddo he comes back there What did she say? They play in the ghetto? What did she just say? No, it's that area. That town up in... Oh yeah! Where he is coming back yes of course! By the way this is like a complete conflation with the Dominionism which is

1:25:43 kind of a definitely I would call a schistic offshoot that was... Yes. That's minor, but it's interesting It's a Venn diagram But they're just trying to slam everybody who is not a communist Basically this is an ant- This is a pro socialist argument and these are two socialists are both atheists, obviously. And I don't know why you're playing this clip now? Well because the next clip and the last clip will make it understandable. He's just come back to the plane of Megiddo he comes back there to fight Satan and do all this stuff so it's about end times beliefs So for Christians who believe this way they believe that the nation of Israel is a very important part of fulfilling biblical prophecy

1:26:30 Okay, so what does this all lead to? It's very obvious and this is the brain twister of it all. It's not just that Christian nationalist eschatology their sort of vision how the end-of-days happens it's tied up in politics It seems to be an anti-semitic narrative as well. What? The Christian Zionist nationalists are anti-semitic, okay now I get it! Version of events Jesus comes back but Jews are either killed or forcibly converted

1:27:06 Exactly. And this is a… They're not forcibly converted, that's great! Well no they don't. They believe that it's the end of the you know this is what it's supposed to be right? That the two of these are going to come together and they don't see that as being anti-semitic so the ways in which things are playing out right now very interesting I've asked people this a lot of times like do you realize they really want you to become Christian in the end and they're like oh yeah Yeah, you know but it's okay. Would I be going too far to say that many of these Christian nationalists are pro-Israel and anti-Semitic? Yeah but I don't know that all of them would realize that they're anti-Semitic and I think that's the point here They think because they love the nation of Israel And that they want to see Jesus come back That these things are not incompatible Ah, its fantastic It just some of the thinking out there You're gonna hear a lot more of that Trust me There is so much hate

1:28:01 about Trump like, oh yeah, mission from God. There's gonna be a lot more of this anyway. This is the result and in fact the clippage that you played and those two boneheads it's all a result of that image or that comment that you played, you talked about the beginning from Trump. He is a troller and he trolled this whole segment of the show! Yeah and it's gonna keep doing it! He's a troller people should stop getting suckered left and right by this guy who's a genius at it. He was a social media president

1:28:41 But, you know she's got a book to sell so it's an opportunity to talk about her book. Who is going to buy our books? She already...it's apparent she is an idiot! So then Tulsi Gabbard I don't know if you caught this came out and declassified documents from the Biden administration about how the Biden administration labeled, tracked and targeted American citizens. Labeled them as domestic violent extremists Yeah I almost had a clip of it There's some guy ranting about it I don't know if I have the clip on that but yes this is good one! I have two clips from Tulsi Gabbard explaining exactly what they did and what they did And this document is in the show notes If you want to go take a look at it What was done under the Biden administration

1:29:31 Was it they were saying that everyone who opposed say mask mandates or the vaccination of children are domestic violent extremists? Or were they saying that those are opinions often held by domestic violent extremists. Which is actually a good question considering he didn't read the document, why would you Well, that's a very good question. When you look at the language of these documents that I've declassified first the strategic implementation plan of the Biden administration's designation of potential violent domestic extremists

1:30:07 It really talks about people who may likely turn out to be domestic violent extremists or those who may likely turn to violence because of these specific quote-unquote ideologies that they hold. And there's a consistent thread through here that these ideologies that they are designating as turning into potentially violent activities, or being manifested in violent activities happen to be those of people who were using their First Amendment rights to oppose certain policies of the Biden administration. And while some of the examples that are focused on there have to do with those who opposed the COVID vaccine mandates, those who opposed the mask mandates, parents who were concerned that their children going to school may be forcibly vaccinated with a COVID vaccine without the consent or awareness

1:31:01 of parents. The list goes on and on." I wonder if they have a file on us? Oh, i'm sure they do! It's probably up in the lunchroom. As long as they get their URL correct... Yeah please it's noahjimtheshow.net everybody. Here's the second part-it wasn't just about vaccines obviously but it's not exclusive to this In some of these reports that we've declassified, it shows that people who were opposed to Biden's border policy for example could therefore have propensities to join a militia or could become these domestic

1:31:43 violent extremists that we're talking about here. And again, it's important to look at this in the totality and the sequence of how this happened these documents were issued in December of 2021 you remember very well will the speech the ominous speech that President Biden gave in 2022 where with this red background and Marines standing in the background he addressed to the nation warning the American people that Donald J Trump and MAGA Republicans pose a direct threat to the fabric of our republic.

1:32:19 And then you put that together with how the FBI and others within the Biden administration directed social media companies to censor Americans, and undermine our First Amendment rights because of course they don't... The social media companies don't want to be in a position to support this spread of domestic violent extremism. So when you look at all these things together core, the thing that I commit as the American people to root out which is the weaponization and politicization of the intelligence community and national security state against the American people. There you go! Of course exactly as we discussed and surmised it's very disturbing yeah meanwhile

1:33:06 We nailed it. Daddy Longlegs is back! Well, you know yes I have...I've took to the next newsletter and got some pictures he has that it I don't know who that is but the mask The mask is pretty obvious now The mask is really obvious one side is caved in the wrinkles on the forehead are asymmetrical and one side has just a bunch of permanent ones Then he leans in on somebody and raises his eyebrows, and it wrinkles on one side of the mask. You see the back of his neck? You can see the mask kind of bunching up. Somebody just grab that thing! And his hairline... The hair is totally fake. It's very un-Biden like hair. Yeah

1:33:56 You want me to play the clip? I have an alternative theory that i need to discuss about it but uh, I think it's worth just listening to because this was the Biden who got very like At the end of this clip, he gets right in the reporter's face. Yeah I know it is gross! I can't imagine what his breath is like. Former President Joe Biden appeared at a Memorial Day service in Delaware today He spoke at the event His first public comments since he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer Action News Reporter Becca Hendrickson Can you stop that for second? There is a, I noticed this because aggressive starting to show up as a word. The word to look for which is code for

1:34:39 M-R-N-A. Turbo cancer is aggressive form. Aggressive, aggressive form yes we noticed this they were all saying aggressive in quotes even aggressive aggressive. He spoke at the event his first public comments since he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer Action News reporter Becca Hendrickson has the update on how the former president... Can you stop it again? Yeah sure I'm sorry no it's okay but have you ever noticed the use of the word aggressive form of cancer say previous to 2020 let's say or 2018? No. You remember that ever being used like that aggressive form? Well I bet you, I could do an Ngram search and the problem is it's kind of tough to do yes but aggressive the aggressive cancers are a new phenomenon Yes turbo cancers

1:35:30 aggressive. Diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer, Action News reporter Becca Hendrickson has the update on how the former president says he is feeling I asked President Biden why it was important for him to come to this event despite his diagnosis He said because he's loyal This event means a lot to him and his family The expectation is we're going to be able to beat this There's no it's not in any organ. It's my bones are strong I hadn't penetrated so this is interesting the story was that it was in his bones metastasized to his bones and here he says My organs are healthy, my bones are good. It hasn't penetrated my bones That's what he's literally saying find that contrary to the reporting

1:36:18 The expectation is we're going to be able to beat this. There's no, it's not in any organ and my bones are strong I hadn't penetrated so i'm feeling good. Former President Joe Biden addressing his health for the first time since being diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer saying he's started treatments It's all a matter of taking a pill one particular pill And for the next six weeks another one This at a Memorial Day service at Veterans Is that The treatment? One particular pill, one pill once every six weeks. Is that the treatment for this aggressive... I believe the treatment that he's discussing-I think the pill is talking about is a... Chemo pill? A pill that reduces testosterone. Oh okay He's transitioning

1:37:07 I think that's the only thing i can imagine because i've listened to enough of this crap. That seems to be the thing you have to do and so, I think that must be what he is referring too. What else could it be? So, Clip Custodian just did a Google Trends of aggressive And so you see it, it's kind of a slow upturn. So look at December 2010 we have 12 I'm looking at this January 2016 20 kinda stays around 20 then in 2023 starts moving up towards the 30s and then all of a sudden May 2025 spikes to 40 higher even

1:37:57 So it's like a hockey stick at the end of the curve. Yes, they decided to use instead of turbo. Yeah, aggressive. For the next six weeks and then another one. This at a Memorial Day service at Veterans Memorial Park in Newcastle Delaware where he spoke to the crowd of politicians veterans and gold star families are troops don't wear uniform that says I'm a Democrat or I'm a Republican says I'm an American while the event was held after Memorial day it's still a significant day for the Biden family today is the 10 year anniversary son, oh Biden's death. When I asked why he came to this event President Biden gave a passionate response which is code for he got in my face because I'm loyal. I do it every damn year from the very beginning and never forget where I came from that's why so alternative forgets where he came from was that got to do with the price of bread? So alternative theory which i do want to throw out there because who knows

1:38:56 that it may not be a mask, but this could...that this Biden could be a form of what we call rapid human cloning. What was that? I'm sorry Rapid human cloning. Second half of show. We're in a theremin! We're an hour and a half in... Rapid human cloning, the origin comes from the intelligence arm of the military And this apparently started during Eisenhower's presidency There are cloning facilities around the world There are different types of... So clones have handlers owners and controllers

1:39:44 So the handlers don't know these people are clones, but they understand. These like doctors and people who handle them The owners now this is sometimes wealthy individuals is not just government But it can be Hollywood people Can be you know like Bill Gates? It can be all kinds of people who just want to be safe And the reason why These clones aren't exactly the same. So, the reason why this Biden clone is a foot taller is because they basically they clone these people and they grow them within... I'm just reading it okay? They grow them within five to six months and because you can't really control since you're doing in five or six months

1:40:28 80 years of diet and all the different things that the Biden clone might have done. So, that's why you get slight differences can be differences to ears if they don't actually have DNA. And this really began with Bill Clinton in the 90s apparently and Biden is what we would call the absolute prime example of a rapidly cloned human being So I was asked to have an open mind about it, and I have an open mind about it. I think the mask is more likely just saying but... We know the mask technology exists to an extreme It was already good in the 60's And it was good in the 60's and apparently now great But looking at this mask? It's not that great! Yeah, it's all bunched up in his neck

1:41:24 But it's the forehead, the various forehead. If people can go back and look at these clips I have a few screenshots of some of it which I'll put in the next newsletter. It's like, no! No, no. I know but this is good to have an alternative...I'm not gonna moan too much about it, an alternative theory that's out there Anything's possible. Now of course the Palladians are brought into this and that's where it gets a little kooky, but okay... I think it's interesting you would bring in an idea that you could have rapid human cloning but you can't land on the moon in 1969

1:42:06 So you have a slight mismatch of what you accept as scientific truth. I said, I'm just reading it. I didn't say that I accept it is scientific truth but yes that is very astute of you Let's do some little global warming stuff Oh yay! I promised this was the tease and got Global Warming Texas to start us off Global warming Texas, all right. Two of the world's top weather agencies are warning that temperatures across the globe are likely to hit new records in the coming few years. Climate scientists at The World Meteorological Organization and its counterpart in the UK say there is an 80% chance that at least one of the next five years will surpass 2024 as the hottest ever recorded. Officials say that means more wildfires and heat-related deaths

1:42:58 plus stronger hurricanes, droughts and downpours. Just today San Antonio saw record rainfall for a single day stranding cars in high floodwaters. Okay wait what happened to weather's not climate? That please June in the hill country is when we actually me and the white nationalist gang over there We all pray for rain. We're so happy it came! we got nine points on our on our rain meter which is 9 tenths of a actually a centimeter for whatever reason, I don't know they have metric here. It was fantastic were happy like wow this is great we got all this beautiful rain now today it's gonna go back up to the 90s

1:43:44 Global warming. It's June, this is what happens in Texas and now she's like oh it looks like the record temperatures we've had a supposedly hottest year on record for the last seven years of this show every year every year We've had a beautiful spring It's been mild. We've been very cold out west the whole seven years it's just I don't know what they're talking about it's just fantastic and I don't see any rising sea level but let's go with so boots on the ground no So we'll go to another series of clips. These are from PBS, this is smoke from Canada and do you think they're going to bring in the global warming thing? And when will they do it let's listen to clip one. Poor air quality warnings have been posted in the upper Midwest advising people with heart or lung disease older adults and pregnant people to limit outdoor activities The reason is wildfires burning in western Canada some of them hundreds of miles away

1:44:43 Meteorologists say that this weekend, the smoke and the fine particulate matter it carries could reach Oklahoma, Tennessee and Arkansas. Chris Foltz is a National Weather Service Central Region Fire Weather Program Manager The smoke is being lofted into the air and with the weather pattern that's in place right now, we've got an area of low pressure basically just east of Hudson Bay over the Great Lakes which is bringing it that air south. We also have a ridge of high pressure over the western U.S., which is kind of helping to funnel that smoke from Canada down through the northern plains and into the middle Mississippi Valley Earlier I spoke with Matthew Capucci meteorologist at MyRadar. I asked him about the health risks from the smoke

1:45:24 Well, there are two things I think folks are most likely noticing. Number one anytime you have this fine particular matter we call PM 2.5 down at ground level that's dangerous for elderly vulnerable populations that's a big concern over parts of the upper midwest obviously Canada where the wildfires are originating but across North Dakota across much of Minnesota the entire state of Minnesota under an air quality alert right now which will likely be pushed into early next week parts of Michigan, north of Chicago and in Wisconsin. A lot of folks are the upper Midwest and Great Lakes now when the smoke is up high causing changes to the light it's harmless but down near the surface when we're breathing it in It's really bad. It's like if you were sitting next to a campfire and breathing that in you wouldn't want to do that If I were in North Dakota right now I'd be turning off my air conditioning and only circulating the air inside my home

1:46:13 One minute and 44 seconds, and they still haven't mentioned global warming or climate change? I'm very disappointed. This? report from yesterday on the PBS weekend edition it was half the show I only have three clips of it. Half the show by the way about oh my god there's smoke, smoke in the air is gonna kill everybody when as if no one has ever had smoke in the air I mean what did they do? What is the point at this report part two? If I can just make a point In the seventies so we moved to Europe and 72

1:46:50 And we would come back to the United States every other summer for some vacation, you know. So we could go to Zales department store. We loved it! Zales department store was crazy. You could buy BB guns, you can buy CB radios it was fantastic and then we'd stay for a couple of weeks And I just remember sitting in Aramark, New York, Mead Road at the family home said watching black and white TV. Watching TV because you know it's like we had Gilligan's Island and just with TV during the daytime couldn't believe it didn't have that in Europe

1:47:30 And it would always be air quality alert, heat alerts, stroke exactly all day long. And we were always saying wow these Americans even though they're American they really hype this stuff up that just it's crazy and it was the same every year now I'm talking 75 76 nothing has changed with the weather It's the reporting and the colors they use on the maps So the danger and the threat is the same hundreds of miles away as if you were sitting next to that fire. Yeah, most definitely unless we're really taking what's down low and sort of diffusing it higher aloft then we still have those high concentrations at the surface We're seeing over 200 on the air quality scale anything over 50s bad but over 200 in parts

1:48:16 North Dakota right now. And my fear is that as these fires continue to burn, we're just adding more smoke to the atmosphere and it can serve these jet stream winds or winds in the upper atmosphere down over North America. You know back in 2023 We saw this smoke reach all the way down to New York City turning the skies orange as far south as like Tennessee Valley I don't think at least initially It will get that bad farther south but still over the northern tier we could see some very high end impacts with this And talk a little bit about the Air Quality Index. What does it take to trigger an advisory? It all has to do with the concentrations of how much of that particular matter is in the atmosphere. The denser, the concentrations, the higher the number goes anytime I'm seeing numbers around 200 That's the point where you can smell and you can taste the smoke in the air Your eyes might start to sting your throat might hurt a little bit And especially for those vulnerable populations it's a really significant hazard You talked about turning off the air conditioning that ventilation could bring it into your house

1:49:16 Yeah, anything folks can do to eliminate essentially outside air coming in is what I would really recommend. We hate to say it but those N95 masks from the COVID era could come in handy because once again this smoke is made up of these fine little particulates that you don't want to be breathing in if you have to go outside and affected areas that's a really good thing just sort of put one protective layer between you and the area breathing in And once again just to remind people when there's an air quality advisory are there particular people who need to be especially careful? Anybody with pre-existing conditions, the elderly those with respiratory conditions underlying conditions children especially vulnerable to infants babies and then sort of after everyone else middle aged folks too but really you know when the air quality gets as bad as it is

1:50:00 Back it up. He asked him who should be careful, and he basically says everybody in a segmented way. Oh yeah the elderly people with pre-existing conditions also babies and children and then middle aged people and then people from 30 to 40 and 40 to 50 and now you have to be particularly concerned in the 50s or 60 don't forget about them. What kind of reporting is this? Yeah, let's back it up. ...protective layer between you and the air you're breathing in... And once again just to remind people when there is an air quality advisory are there particular people who need to be especially careful? Anybody with pre-existing conditions The elderly those with respiratory conditions underlying conditions children especially vulnerable too infants babies and then sort of after everyone else middle aged folks too but really when the air quality gets as bad as it is over parts of the northern plains or upper midwest right now

1:50:57 That's dangerous for anybody. Again, I will say this really was about a 20 minute presentation. But listen to the last clip I have what are Canadian officials saying about how significant these fires are? They're sort of sounding the alarm there they're sort of peaking their scales right now for example Alberta and Ontario are under an extreme risk of wildfires that's verbiage rarely used by Environment Canada That's the equivalent up there at the National Weather Service in the US And to sort of max out the scale

1:51:39 says this is a higher end events. Likewise, the Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center has drawn up a level five out of five that they're basically saying all systems go in terms of combating and fighting these fires there allocating all the resources they have to When they sort of max out these scales, that's a sign of a really significant event underway. And we're still so early in the summer—we're just getting into June now—this is something we more typically see later into June and early July. So I do fear this could be another bad fire season for our neighbors to the north. One thing we are noting with climate change... We are seeing sort of a tendency for these heat domes, these blocking bridges of high pressure

1:52:18 to last a little longer, be a little stronger, be a little bigger and more stubborn. Finally! So there's an investor and presenter named Paul Marshall who I got some clips from he was giving a presentation about climate change but it's the counter argument and i thought these clips were great And I don't know the exact event, but there was a bunch of people that spoke at it. And these will be the last clips in my climate presentation.

1:52:55 But this is good stuff. This Paul Marshall on climate one most European countries are committed to net zero by 2050 Likewise Australia and Canada the Scandinavian targets are a little earlier, but climate change policy is a classic Collective action problem This is the old the mother of all collective action problems if only some countries make sacrifices and others don't then all they do is wipe out their own prosperity. Out of a misplaced sense of guilt, we have allowed Asian countries to set much later dates. China is committed officially to 2060

1:52:18 to last a little longer, be a little stronger, be a little bigger and more stubborn. Finally!

Out of a misplaced sense of guilt, we have allowed Asian countries to set much later dates. China is committed officially to 2060

1:53:41 Saudi Arabia to 2060, India to 2017. And if your net zero deadline is 35 or 45 years away you can pretty much ignore it for the time being and that is exactly what is happening. Every year, Chinese coal consumption is expected to fall every year it goes up China has 1161 coal-fired power plants In 2023 they built two plant per week India has a mere 285 but they too have now got the coal bug

1:54:19 They're currently opening two plants a month and their construction plans are accelerating. China and India are about as committed to net zero as Britain is to investigating the grooming gangs." Wow, kicker at the end there! That's wow! Got a big applause for that by the way yeah where was this done? This speech I think this was in London Well, everybody could have been in Europe but at some point you know... But wait a minute! Wait a minute! He's bound to be offending someone with this. Doesn't he get arrested at some point? I think he has... This is a captive audience of people that are climate skeptics, I believe it's some sort of conference that is designed to reverse things but he just gets more interesting as he continues and this was actually people should look this up Paul Marshall on Climate but here we go

1:55:19 But it is the USA who've played the smartest game. It was the United States through Al Gore, who launched climate anxiety on the world. In 2009, Al Gore warned that the North Pole would be ice free by the summer of 2014 but the US never stopped drilling and now just at the point where many Western countries have swallowed the net zero ideology Hook, Line and Sinker you guys and I'm looking at the thousand Americans in the room are moving on to leave the rest of us like a half dead fish flopping on the riverbank. Now i am not suggesting that this is a conspiracy

1:56:03 I know that in America you have Republicans and Democrats. And the idea of you conspiring together is a bit like Keir Starmer eloping with Elon Musk, but just like with Wokery and DEI, America launched a set of luxury beliefs on the world Watch does those beliefs gain traction only to discard them in their own land Just before they reach the point of fatal destruction Luxury beliefs. I like that. Yeah, that is good. I like that too luxury beliefs So he's kind of good this guy yeah He's quite you're quite good and this possibility does exist that the nature of our system

1:56:51 Even though we don't do it. I don't think we do it overtly with dialing anyone's schemes, but it just so happens That that's what happened did that what he described is? What the mechanism is? I mean this is why Anyone who invested in Exxon Mobil when Biden got an office and he says gonna be you know They're gonna get rid of fossil fuels would have made a fortune because I think the stock almost tripled Oh yeah, the minute they started that nonsense to start to go up was its genius Yeah, and so it's like genius. Where was Horowitz with all of this? Conservative investor here we go at the last of this Unlike Europe in particular The US still has the DNA to risk resist ideas that are bad for your wealth you understand the foundations of Wealth Creation

1:57:44 and you don't take them for granted. Sadly, we have a much weaker immune system so we are powering ahead in full self-destruction mode So how is Europe planning to reach net zero? Well, we have a twin track strategy On the one hand, we are prematurely closing some of our most reliable sources of energy like coal and nuclear then ceasing our exploration for offshore oil and gas And on the other, we are taxing carbon emissions driving up our energy and electricity costs across the board and piling costs on the industry and the consumer. I have some bad news for our net zero zealots

1:58:26 Europe may or may not reach our net zero targets, but one thing we will most certainly do is wipe out what remains of our industrial base. You know the the thing that no one wants to touch because some of the big investors like Bill Gates are all over it is what President Trump just did with nuclear regulation This is what is going to make America win We'll be able to have all kinds of nuke power everywhere. It's like, it's genius! Yeah, it really is. It's and I you know, I think we've been fans of nuclear on this on this This very program for since its inception almost particularly learned about what is now? I think being deployed that the small Reactor a thorium or in other reactors. Yeah You know you get the backyard nukes they can power a whole town like Fredericksburg. It's fantastic

1:59:26 And yeah, but all these people that are on the gravy train man. They love it there's still a lot of climate money out there There must be oh has to be isn't isn't there still money from the inflation reduction? Yeah I was listening to an interview with What's his face who is one of the trouble Oh Chip Roy chip Roy as your Texas buddy. Yeah not a fan of Chip Roy per se Although I don't think there was even anyone else you could vote for I think she probably was the only guy who says uncontested But his biggest beef is that there's still all this Inflation Reduction Act money, that is earmarked for all this climate stuff. Right it has never been spent! Like BESS which is Battery Enhanced Storage Systems?

2:00:19 Which battery enhanced storage system batteries something storages. Yes, something like that Yeah BESS which is you know nobody wants that nobody wants these you know like that Vista fire That's probably still smoldering out there in California Nobody the one I'm point yeah Moss must point or whatever as much so whatever but this isn't it like a trillion dollars in that thing Yeah, there was a lot of money. The whole inflation reduction act was really the Green New Deal. So that hasn't been repealed or anything done with it? I'm kind of like on the chip train now. Like yeah, I'm all for that let's get rid of that nonsense. Let's spend some money! Hey with that i want to thank you for your courage in the morning to you the man who put the sea and the climate anxiety say hello to my friend on the other end one the only Mr John C

2:01:12 Yeah, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry In the morning ships see boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there In the morning to the trolls of the troll room Stop moving! Stand still for a second I gotta count ya Where are we? Uh 2107 2107 That's a little down isn't it? That's way low Yeah And we haven't like I mean you normally have like 24 on a Sunday? Yeah, 24-25. Well but these are of course trolls who are listening to us live in the troll room at TrollRoom.io

2:01:49 And they're in there trolling around, which is good. They've a battery energy storage system thank you very much yeah BESS battery energy it lasts an hour! Can power your city for 30 minutes it's like it's like a UPS for your town Yeah big giant UPS Big giant UPS At that, the trolls are listening to us at trollum.io where they might be listening on a modern podcast app which you know again it wasn't just Megyn Kelly let me get it right I had this clip

2:02:26 You know the Todd cast? The Todd cast, you know Todd. Chip Todd, ChipTodd, Todd, ChipTodd, Todd, the Todd cast remember that guy? No Yeah Chuck Todd Oh Chuck Todd Yeah Chuck Todd so... Chip Todd yeah I've heard it It's the Chuck Todd cast Get it? Ha ha! The Todd Cast Here is what he said just recently on his latest Toddcast Got all these things you can hear us anywhere you want YouTube we'd love for you to subscribe at the channel Everything else Spotify Apple you name it and if Apple isn't uploading Right away automatically help us inform apples that they're messed up. This has been an issue Luckily apparently we're not the only podcaster this issue, but please feel free to let the engineering team know themselves Hey Apple you've got a problem We've done it maybe there'll be responsive to a little more responsive to you No

2:03:20 Wow. And the thing is... That's a good one you caught! Is he that naive not to know this is everybody's problem? I liked how he said Apple hasn't uploaded it, ugh. He certainly doesn't know how it works but that's okay because people don't understand how it works all they know is we had a big conversation about this on the Podcasting 2.0 podcast is that things have changed since the early days of podcasting when you were just delighted that a podcast episode showed up. Like, oh there it is! We didn't have social media so when you post on social media hey the latest episode is out and people are looking at their Apple Podcast app going no no refresh refresh The first thing they do is they yell at me You didn't upload to Apple

2:04:08 I can't blame them for not understanding how it works, so I get it. Then eventually the host gets so overrun with that nonsense that they like Megyn Kelly and here's Chuck Todd doing a soft shoe version of it tell the engineers at Apple whereas we have built this solution is called Podping no one owns it actually a blockchain you could even say Apple podcast now powered by blockchain! You could market Because when hundreds of thousands of podcasts, including this one. When we post the podcast the pod ping goes out all these apps immediately know there's a new episode they refresh boom there it is within 90 seconds don't use these stupid apps who are just to not invented here or I can only think that what it is you know

2:05:01 Apple, oh we got to build our own blockchain. It has to be our blockchain otherwise it won't work blah blah blah They're arrogant and they're losing now So get a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com And all your problems will be over and even better when we go live which doesn't work in these legacy apps You'll be able to hear it you get an alert Hey the boys are live! The boy's are back in town I think I will listen As part of this this experiment that we've been doing. I was thinking about those PBS shows with the climate change stuff in it, you know what the problem is? You know why they do half the show about climate change because they have to fill up an hour see with the podcast were like yeah I'm bored of hearing you your board if he and me end of show

2:05:51 You can do that, yeah. Yeah you know you can... I got more to say okay we'll do a little bit longer That's what the media has really become These guys like Whatta ya got Bob? Well we've got a lot of Trump hate Okay well uh we'll do some of that What else you got More Trump hate? So they gotta fill the time They gotta fill the time! That's the problem Well I'm gonna push back on this The deep dive You have the you also have the problem with but the podcasting dilemma Which is that? Oh, yeah. There's that I agree chatter boxes Yeah, who just can't stop talking yes about maybe one thing for hours Yes, yes

2:06:47 That's exactly right. And they don't know how to end? And they ask the question three different ways before letting the guest talk That's your problem with Rubin amongst many others. Well, Rubin is one of them there are other people that do the same thing they ask the question three or four different ways so their so the question is longer than the answer The questions should never be longer than the answer unless it's a yes-or-no question It's a yes-or-no question! I'm only going to have five minutes I'll be reclaiming my time Is this a Yes-Or-No Question Mr. DeVora? So we employ the value for value model. We coined the phrase, we pioneered it. It's gotten legs of its own I love it. People misuse it like Patreon! I'm Value For Value! Nah not entirely The whole concept is... ...We give you this show and then we discover this early on if people would only listen to us Oh man there's this WhatsApp group

2:07:49 It's kind of like a telegram group only, I guess highbrow. I don't know... WhatsApp group? It's the Podcast Discourse Hub! I should read from this And so they talk about, this is really the podcast industrial complex. And I just don't buy into it. So you know they feel that everything should be video doesn't have to have an art and not all of them are generalizing it has it has a video if you're on video you know it's not going to work. What's your rationale for videos? It's not gonna work well you'd almost think they're there on the take from Google because YouTube has essentially now rebranded

2:08:28 any dudes or dudettes with cans and a microphone as a podcast. And if you even put podcasts in your description, it shows up in the podcast channel on YouTube so they're trying to capture the whole concept of a podcast and saying you don't need an RSS feed, you just need YouTube videos. Does anybody realize that the word podcast itself stems from the iPod? Which was never a video device? Well, actually it did do video later on. But see this is exactly what I get... But it was named during the era when it was an audio only device

2:09:10 Yes, but you have to understand that now if you say that it'll be like okay boomer I've never had an iPod man. I have a smartphone. I got an iPhone You see that the Boomer so he's an example is never really most Boomers never had an iPod So here's an example There is a different podcast medium that exists now than did when Adam helped birth all this. Podcasting has grown up and is now mature beyond the wild startup years This medium has been fragmenting for years, it's become highly commercial medium These fractures in the medium cannot stand and need to go away or we risk losing at all to big proprietary platforms You see

2:10:01 The podcast industrial complex wants it to work with... It's your dramatic reading. Thank you! Adam is correct, two different cultures exist that are built on a common base I didn't say that doesn't matter we need not fight each other in many ways we are working together but others are moving in different directions and the market is now the market is telling us differently so my I'm a broken record A podcast only needs... Okay, boomer. First of all you don't need to make money doing your podcast per se this it's not like I'm doing a podcast i need to make money some people just do a podcast because they like it some people do a podcast because it's for their club or for the community or whatever product or for a candidate for office there are other reasons a lot of reasons to do a podcast exactly but

2:10:54 The world is centered around, it's number one! Millions of downloads. It's on top of the charts!" Like that is anachronism. That's old-fashioned. That is truly boomer thinking. I got to start doing that. Okay boomer with your charts? We discovered early on that it doesn't... When was the last time we actually looked at stats You don't need to look at stats. We do take a look at our download... Once in awhile when we're talking about it. Just make sure that's not falling off the cliff or jumped a lot and hasn't shown up in the income stream, right? Like for example if our download numbers

2:11:39 had tripled and our income stream had gone in half, we would pay attention to that. But none of this stuff ever happens by the way. It's all statistics. Let's be specific, we do this podcast to help people get results on their resume okay? That's why we're doing this podcast. Yes the podcast is wrapped around Linda Lou Patkin and so... This is the only reason the podcast exists nobody has figured this out yeah what we discovered early set more than 17 years ago was if you just ask people to send you some money whatever it was worth to them it's sustainable

2:12:18 And that's it. Any podcast can do this, but people forget one thing you have to have a good slash outstanding product if you don't have a good product no one is going to support you and that's the big misunderstanding. Well I got downloads... No! If you have a good product people will support you That's it That's it. And if you have enough people to support, you might be able to do it full time. That's it! How many years did we do the show before... Get a time code for me? Okay. Um how many years did we do this show before We could do it full-time five years actually about one no bullcrap Well, it was okay two years because we know what yes Because that's show 100

2:13:11 When you were gonna quit, because you got this 100 I'm going to quit. I was still making MeVeo money at Show 100 so no not true i could i could not have sustained myself with what we were making it show on under no it took much longer had to go back and look it when i was in Los Angeles So I'd already moved from San Francisco to Los Angeles It was when we moved to Texas about when I moved to Texas so I would say Probably 2011, 2010-2011 is when it was enough for me to get by living way outside of Austin. So that's what...

2:13:52 I thought you lived in an apartment in Austin for starters. No, no! I lived out by Lake Travis way the heck out there on Comanche. Then you moved to the apartment in downtown Austin? No then it moved to a rental house in downtown Austin then to another rental house and downtown Austin And THEN to an apartment by myself in downtown Austin So it was four years It was definitely since we started 2007...it was about four years Before I could at least me. I don't know about you, I mean you got all these gigs going on writing vinegar books and stuff So yeah But no it was it was a good four years It takes time that's my whole point it takes time to come up with well it takes time to develop an audience too absolutely but people like well and you download maybe I get ads and he did somebody things are gonna host unless your Britney's I guarantee Britney Spears is

2:14:51 I brought this up before when blogging was a thing. If Britney Spears started a podcast tomorrow and did Value for Value, she'd be making money immediately." By the way do the one in the chat room says when did you eat your plane? That's right that was 2010! I ate my plane. I had to sell the plane that was 2010 before we moved to Austin So, okay. Well then 2010 is the marker? No it's no 2011 four years doesn't matter the point is if you have an outstanding product I think even if you have a thousand people listening If you say hey support me or the show goes away which we did all the time Yeah We still do I think we still do

2:15:37 People like, yeah you're begging for money. You complain about don't that's how it works I know people who don't like the fact that we're complaining constantly about money or Just they hate us does that think of its use of the people? That usually people who don't support us hate us asking for money no those are the PR because they don't want to hear about It because it's because it's It's banging on their guilt. Oh, the guilty conscience? Good point. They never give us a nickel they won't do the $5 a month which is nothing or four dollars whatever you know originally we started with some ridiculously low amounts two dollars hey Alberta guru reminds us yeah back in the day John was still getting lucrative twit guest appearance fee money lucrative

2:16:29 Well, I was getting paid but it wasn't lucrative. Hey Yes you want to finish that up? I was just gonna say yes we the people that complain about it are Not supporting the show and they just they read what these went free stuff They wanted free stuff man. I mean you can't blame anyone for wanting free stuff But at the same time so we don't carp right So we accept time, talent and treasure. A lot of people do a lot of things for us is highly appreciated all organizing meetups putting up websites reports websites boots on the ground reportable to create in a volunteer process is the best aspect of value for value that's what people fail to recognize and tax-free it's

2:17:20 It's tax-free. Yeah, it saves us from doing the work and there is no... I mean you look at CBS News how many producers does CBS News have? Let say they have a hundred do you think they have 100? Yeah! At least 200 No i don't think they have that many but I'll tell you we've played this joke producer list that they play on PBS for simple segment 15 minute segment they got 10 or 12 people So we have, conservatively speaking hundreds of thousands of producers each with their own specific expertise. You want to know about shoeing a horse? We got somebody! You want to know about an F-35? We got somebody! You wanna know what air traffic control? Probably a pilot and mechanic... You wanna know about drones you wanna know about the climate you wanna know about finance? Finance

2:16:29 Well, I was getting paid but it wasn't lucrative. Hey Yes you want to finish that up? I was just gonna say yes we the people that complain about it are Not supporting the show and they just they read what these went free stuff They wanted free stuff man. I mean you can't blame anyone for wanting free stuff But at the same time so we don't carp right So we accept time, talent and treasure. A lot of people do a lot of things for us is highly appreciated all organizing meetups putting up websites reports websites boots on the ground reportable to create in a volunteer process is the best aspect of value for value that's what people fail to recognize and tax-free it's

2:17:20 It's tax-free. Yeah, it saves us from doing the work and there is no... I mean you look at CBS News how many producers does CBS News have? Let say they have a hundred do you think they have 100? Yeah! At least 200 No i don't think they have that many but I'll tell you we've played this joke producer list that they play on PBS for simple segment 15 minute segment they got 10 or 12 people So we have, conservatively speaking hundreds of thousands of producers each with their own specific expertise. You want to know about shoeing a horse? We got somebody! You want to know about an F-35? We got somebody! You wanna know what air traffic control? Probably a pilot and mechanic... You wanna know about drones you wanna know about the climate you wanna know about finance? Finance

2:18:18 We have somebody you want to know about. We have a lot of people in the medical field that's that's the genius of the model, but people don't understand and so as part of that we always understood you have to close the loop So we thank people when you send in a report Thank You for doing the report when you create a piece of art? We have a lot of artists who love to create art for us It's actually expanded with AI Do you see Dogpatch, dog patch, synonymous of dog patch and lower slobovia. His note about the colors of AI? Did you get that note from him? I did get a note. I'm always suspicious if that's him Oh that's him! That's him...I know it is With the old AOL account Yeah yeah, that's him That to me was the kicker I'm like oh its definitely him You know there are certain types of people who still use an AOL account Anyway

2:19:19 He was saying that, you know the problem is that all of this digital stuff is all just approximate. That they're trying to create it so make look so looks right to your eyes none of its natural color of course even going back to photography yet a very long very good explanation I liked it I thought it was good I had some issue with it and i don't remember what it is because they don't have the note in front of me. Well we'll discuss it but, I thought that this particular piece of art from Blue Acorn which he used for episode 1768 titled Queer The Deal It was very triggering for people People like oh my god Why? Because you have to understand We understand the context of the picture because it was a topic But people see

2:20:13 an ice cream cone and mayonnaise next to each other, and they start dry heaving. Because they don't know is it ice cream in the mayo? Is the ice cream...is actually mayonnaise? Dry heaving! Yes! Oh, it was super triggering for people Good Yeah I know that's what I said They're like oh I can't wait to listen to this I'm pukin' over here What's going on?! I'm puking up. And this of course came from our TikTok later. Did you hear Maloney's speech by the way? Where she kept using vomit about Macron, yeah too bad we don't have it translated was just a captioned Yeah it was... people should look up her rant against Macron and she is a great speaker! It sounds... anyone speaking Italian always sounds good Well yes but when you're yelling

2:21:01 Anyway, thank you very much Blue Acorn. We appreciated that very much and there were some other pieces of art that I think we considered although you probably hated them all let me see We like the NA hard hat I think. I like both of the hard hats and the soccer ball hail Yeah, you made a good argument against that because it doesn't make any sense is what are these soccer balls? I liked the hardhat with the hail that was a Darren I even could go for the sushi. I just thought it was well done That was also Darren Small too small. Yeah, I kind of like the emblem shirt too small here like yeah It's a long way to go to put some boobs on the web okay? And I'm the pro boob guy. No. I know it was amazing Company card there Darren is just flooding the zone which is someone who's cranking it out Yeah comics for blogger trying to flood the zone

2:22:01 So, nah. Gender expansive podcast? We're not going to use that. Was there anything else we liked? I think that was it right? Yeah there wasn't a lot... It really was hard to come up with anything besides the mayonnaise ice cream. People are doing a lot of these cartoon things now and I don't like them. You know what I mean? Well, you're probably going to get worse after today's tip of the day. Hey man I'm still getting people sending me mail at my house thanks to that tip of the day you once gave like how to find somebody's address all right yeah it's a public domain is not my fault not fantastic thank you very much also hates it

2:22:48 NoahGenArtGenerator.com is where you can participate in this and Dreb Scott is always on the ball putting a lot of these that we don't choose for the art, for the album art, putting them into the chapters again a feature on The Modern Podcast apps And we always, as part of the value for value system, we like to close the loop. We thank our artists, we thank people who do things, we thank people who support us financially $50 and above and the way it works in this particular scenario with our podcast is just like Hollywood, we give you extra benefit a credit. You can get an associate executive producer credit, good wherever credits are recognized in the Hollywood system including IMDB if you support us with $200 or more and we'll read your note. Three hundred dollars or more, we give an executive producer credit and we will read your note." And we kick it off with John Elmore from Baton Rouge Louisiana one thousand dollars and he says Adam & John

2:23:42 The Instant Night PhD combo is a bundle I can't miss! Now, I missed the newsletter. Was that in the newsletter? Yeah. Oh and which PhD is this? This was the surprise... We went back to the one from two or three years ago, the PhD in media deconstruction just brought it back because of number people wrote in yeah they wanted hey I missed it They wrote in and said, hey can you do that again so I can get it. And this was the surprise you were talking about? You had indeed teased that this was coming! Yes and they would say on noagendashow.net or no agendadonations.com is now listed for sure its on No Agenda Rings So you go there directly if you cant find your way to the newsletter link

2:24:31 Yeah, yeah. So this will continue because it's graduation time so we figured you know you didn't make it through college just to get a PhD We need someone to do the commencement speech Just a thought That is an interesting angle to think about Well...we have a...we need a celebrity? We need a valedictorian amongst our group Why wouldn't Dana Brunetti do the commencement speech for us You mean actually record one and present it? Yeah! Why wouldn't he?! He's the perfect guy. I don't know, it's probably easier to listen to his show he is going have to answer that question. And we'll give him an honorary PhD is what you do? Because he's never gonna buy one! Adam and John says John Elmore, The Instant Night PhD combo is a bundle I can't miss Can I be known as Sir John of the Bayou with...

To refer to 1939-1945 since in both cases the language references that which the government blamed for its totalitarianism. Interesting! Perhaps consider taking a page out of Professor Desmet's book? Professor Desmet, you remember him. He is the Belgian guy that we played. It wasn't mass psychosis. Oh yeah it was a mass... what was it?

Our formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth.

2:36:11 You know, I think the IC community, the Intel community could use as a... you're working there. A PhD on the wall. Ooh! Yes, I think that would be just dynamite. So there was a…I have two versions of this story because it was kind of played the same way The Supreme Court has started to rule in favor of President Trump in a couple of key cases and it has people's panties all in a bunch. And so while the news is, hey you know the deportations that he wanted to do he can go ahead and do them

2:36:52 It played out very differently in the M5M mainstream media. Hundreds of thousands of migrants are now living in fear as the Supreme Court allows President Trump to end temporary protective status for migrants from Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua The decision comes as the Department of Homeland Security ramps up deportation efforts targeting migrants as they arrive for their court hearings. It makes everybody be on edge This tactic by DHS is happening at courthouses around the country according to immigration advocates

2:37:30 Such was the case with 20-year old Bronx High School student Dylan Lopez Contreras, a Venezuelan asylum seeker arrested by ICE during a routine court hearing in New York City. mother's being captured by ICE outside of a courthouse in San Antonio. This woman's husband says his wife has no criminal record. We were requesting a merits hearing and the judge declined to set up merits hearing because DHS asked for

2:38:12 the case to be dismissed and the client will be ordered removed saying that it was not in the government's interest to hear a full case. According to recent reporting by NBC, ICE deported over 17000 people in April up 50% from February but that figure falls well short of the quote millions Trump has promised to deport from the US and lags far behind the record 430,000 people who were deported in a single year during the Obama administration. I love that now that's Canadian news That's why they put that in there They had a little bit of fair reporting but I've got people young people

2:38:49 who I know are conservative in thinking they're probably Christian nationalists and They're texting me like five hundred thousand. I think have a problem with this is 500 half-a-million people Let's go to ABC New York Hey David, this decision immediately affects 530,000 migrants allowed into the United States by the Biden administration. At the time, it was part of a policy seen as relieving some of the strain at the southern border and also improving vetting of individuals. The Trump administration reversed that policy in March if federal district court put it on hold saying it was illegal but today the Supreme Court justices said the Trump administration can move forward

2:39:30 What does that mean? It means most of those 530,000 migrants will have 30 days to leave the country unless they have some other legal protections. Immigrant advocates told us today that this will have a significant economic impact. Two justices dissented from this decision Justice Katonji Brown Jackson writing The court has plainly botched this assessment it undervalues the devastating consequences of allowing the government to precipitously upend the lives and livelihoods of nearly a half million non-citizens while their legal claims are pending. Now, the legal battle in this case does continue but the bottom line guys is that the Supreme Court says now that more than half a million Haitians Nicaraguans Cubans and Venezuelans may have to leave the country in 30 days none of these reports were honest

2:40:20 Migrants. Well I'll tell you this, the one dishonest aspect of it is the fact that they keep showing these arrests... Yeah crying moms... And how does that with these staged arrests and then how does that comport with giving them 30 days? Because it's bullcrap! I think its bull crap too and I see people falling for Cheryl Atkinson of all people the you know, what she did something weird. I like Cheryl Atkinson. Yeah i do too and she had played one of these clips on twitter of one of these people crying and moaning and groaning and she says is this what people voted for?

2:41:04 These are these 530 migrants non-citizens. Five hundred thirty thousand? Five hundred thirty thousand migrants, non citizens were in the United States under TPS temporary protective status which is always temporary They knew it was temporary now of course President Biden said no don't worry about it Don't worry about it Yes this is what we voted for And these people, their temporary protective status is over and now it's time to go back. You know I got a note from my buddy Michelle in the UK

2:41:45 And it's so bad over there. I mean, he's trying to sell one of the clubs his biggest club which he's had for ever since i've known him He said values have evaporated nobody wants to be in the club business anymore The country is crap but the way he approaches me like How how's it going in Trump land? How's everything in Trump land? I said, hey America is doing great feeling good man. We're kicking out undesired illegal immigrants shipping the criminal ones off to jail rejecting visas from troublemakers bringing God back to our government reducing waste and fraud restoring education and getting rid of DEI and systemic racism! I think Trump land is doing pretty good

2:42:27 That was your note? Yes, my note back to him. Of course! Wow that's a good one that's a good template for anybody out there because it's true like yes this is what we vote for but you know the news its psyops people with exactly what you said with these arresting women that that is I don't know what that's from but that's not from TPS status time for you to go back here 30 days get your affairs in order What its from either...it seems staged and it had no context when she posted it, and I'm still wondering what the context is. This brings me to what you were talking about. I didn't want to bring these clips in right now but I'm gonna do it because it kind of talks about some of the issues that you expressed. This is the Zogby & Zogby, which is the polling group, and Zogby and his son Zogby

2:43:21 The two Zogbys were looking at some data about Trump's popularity and talking about the various forms of media. And I think this is quite enlightening, this is Zogby and Zogby One. The electorate they're going to all different kinds of channels and sources for their media and information And that's no surprise, but when we break it down demographically into three distinct media cohorts and we have local media voters who primarily trust local media versus legacy media which are national newspapers and national networks.

2:44:05 and their online platforms versus new media, which is social media and podcasts. So when you break it down that way it makes a lot more sense. Legacy media? Trump can't do anything right he can't say anything right he's failing every day local media about split but a little bit more in favor of Trump And then new media podcasts and X and other social media sites Trump is way ahead and so it depends how you're discerning your events the narratives of The daily and weekly events, but when we put it all together And I think the real cohorts that that I'm gonna look at are always going to be the independent voters Where do they stand?

2:44:54 Men and women because those are two different realities and then Hispanic voters are looking very much like a bellwether group. So through those lens, let's look at those Those head-to-head matchups of Trump versus key Democrats How do we square this with Cheryl Atkinson? She's old media. She's legacy in her origins, in her orientation and their orientation to this day I mean she works for Sinclair Broadcasting Oh, I didn't realize my oh yes she does a show for them It's syndicated around it which is the legacy me Breaking news breaking news. It's on all is on the quads everywhere Shakira cancels world tour okay? I'm sorry go continue

2:45:45 I wonder why. I don't know, i'm not listening. Shakira was on Fallon like two days or three days in a row almost? I don't know it's breaking news! Yeah yeah Jimmy Fallon uh anyway uh Cheryl Atkinson is on now she's working for Sinclair so a friend of mine a producer friend of mine who was working for um NBC Universal has now working for Sinclair And she says to me, they're cheap. Aren't they in Austin? Isn't their headquarters in Austin? I thought they were up in the Pacific Northwest. I'm sorry, Northeast and Northeast. I thought they were up in... I thought that had a headquarters and maybe around there. Well it could be, but they're cheap is what she concluded. Well of course they are cheap! There's no more money and cable. Do they have broadcasts?

2:46:44 Yeah, they own a bunch of stations. They're the ones that when they have those super clips where everyone says everything exactly the same? That's all from Sinclair affiliates! Well there is their problem...they are fake news I think so yeah I had to run in with them when i was writing for PC Magazine during the early days of HDTV The Sinclair people got ahold of me And this kind of relates to the fact that they're cheap. Did they grab you by the collar? Hey, listen, little boy! Well it would if they were in person but it was over email and they were going on and on about OFMDM whatever type of antenna is gonna be used for HDTV It's no good, it's too expensive... The whole thing was about slow down this HDTV move, it's gonna break us

2:47:35 And they had a lot of good arguments at the time about why it wouldn't be any good and this and that, and it all fell apart when you know everyone I mean just brought everything's at 1080p now. Yes yeah of course there was no there were real holdout they really hated it how God we have to buy new equipment is gonna cost us too much money Yeah their cheap Anyway, it's odd because you want to listen the rest of yeah. Yeah, of course I do Of course I do it feels kind of interesting I don't know what they're running Trump against people for he's not running again No matter what anybody wants to think but let's listen to Zogby too this is a long analysis So I mean some of the groups that you mentioned You know one poll are you gov poll showed that Trump was losing his edge? significantly among young men We don't find that at all where you don't find him

2:48:27 losing that slight edge that he had among Hispanic voters either. In fact, what we found in his approval rating in this poll pretty much matches what the vote—Hispanic vote was back in November. By the way I'll say that the Hispanic citizens legal residents of our great country they're like yeah get out They've always been that way. They don't want a bunch of people horning in No, of course not so we're kind of right now just because you're Mexican-American You have a heritage that goes back but your America's been an American for three four generations

2:49:09 which is a lot of especially in California. You don't want to bunch of interlopers coming in and take your job cheap? No, November so we're kind of right back to where we were I for one think it says an awful lot about the Democrats And then of course about where independents are and democrats not being able to make much headway among independence But do you want to share some numbers Yeah, I want to share some numbers and then i want to touch on that too because i think the other driving factor is... Touch on it. The state of the Democratic Party in their playing field so point-of-order Democrat party but okay when we put Trump up against Bernie Sanders like that's most interesting for now because that's populism on the right versus populism on the left and we do have a tight race here

2:50:04 of 45.6% of the public, the voters opting for President Trump if the election were held today versus 45.1%. And so, I mean it's a virtual tie but we'll say that there is a slight edge of five survey participants. But when we look to independents this is revealing about where independent could go 41% of them go with Bernie 38% of them go with Trump and that significant because

2:50:45 the one hand a split among the independent vote but a preference still for a populist figure. I should mention that, I don't know if Bernie's gonna make it another three years? No this is just an academic exercise. I understand. Bernie is not going to run but the point he's trying to make is that populism is key here and the Democrat...and Bernie's not really..I mean he's a populist in his approach but in fact he's a socialist! Yeah you think?! Yeah, I think. But the point is that if you're... The Democrats to get back in the game they have to embrace populism which they're really reluctant to do. They do not want to do that because populism will kick out the trans, populism will kick out the woke, populism doesn't want any of that stuff and so the Democrats are gonna have nothing but trouble coming to grips with this populism boom

2:51:40 And it was predicted in the 80s that populism in the United States was going to be a big thing. There's a book that Richard Vigery wrote, I believe in 1986 where he predicted or questioned the possibility that populism will be the dominant the dominant political characteristic of the future. Well, that's what is happening all over Europe! Yeah it's happening all over the world and all over Europe it's a very... if you don't come to grips with it you're not gonna get anywhere. Damn bingo Onward with the third clip Just one different than Trump let's hold that thought because when we go to the next two head-to-heads will compare those independents but let's look at before we do that let's look at men and women

2:52:28 Men clearly 51% for Trump, 40% for Sanders. It's key that Trump gets a majority with women. Sanders gets just barely 50%, and Trump gets 40%. So, we see the gender gap is strong. And then the last of the cohorts will look at in this head to head as Hispanics 46% of Hispanics for Trump 44 for Sanders and

2:53:07 I think on the face that kind of proves the Hispanic vote as a key and swing vote. Yeah, it really is and you know just by way of a comment about Hispanics one of things that i find very puzzling is the president issuing deportation orders backed by the United States Supreme Court against Venezuelans, Cubans, Nicaraguans all living here legally and all mainly gained in gainful employment.

2:53:44 What's ironic about that is that these are from communist countries, or socialist countries anyway. They are fundamentally conservative and when they do become naturalized US citizens they have been voting overwhelmingly Republican. Hmm. Yeah, a little gotcha there at the end One note from the troll room, unrelated but a good point. Again we have the best producers The drone attack from the sheds on the lorries Perfect commercial for Golden Dome

2:54:33 Well, is it? It sounds like it's not. Oh you're right when you think about it no would be inside the Golden Dome Yes! Golden Dome No Good! There would be a perfect promotion for NOT a golden dome because its not going to work with that strategy We need mini-golden domes I've always believed this huge weakness of our infrastructure You have a refinery, you have a power plant some sort of any facility whatsoever and you have a guy in a pickup truck with a bazooka or rocket launcher on the back. And just driving down the road, he fires it off and blows up anything you can name because there's nothing but havoc one guy in a truck and is nothing to protect against that sort of thing. That's exactly what happened here in Russia

2:55:33 Yeah. Only using drones, which makes it even more like creepy. That's a good point. I have a... Yeah Golden Dome is actually Boomer! Very boomer We have a, let's see. Oh another this is M5M mainstream news very important to note the passing of an age It's the end of an era tonight for NBC News and a special connection with Sacramento and KCRA Tonight is Lester Holt's final newscast on NBC Nightly News

2:56:09 Holt took over the anchor desk on June 18, 2015. He'll be leaving just about half a month shy of his 10-year mark. Over the past 10 years he's built a reputation as a respected and trustworthy journalist who has interviewed newsmakers all over the world. Holt grew up in the Sacramento area graduating from Cordova High School and attended Sacramento State later receiving an honorary degree. During that time he was an intern right here at KCRA 3. He won't be leaving NBC however, he's going to spend more time as the host of Dateline NBC along with other projects. Tom Yamas will take over Nightly News starting Monday. Yeah! Yamas! I always thought Yamas was better. Isn't that the guy? That guy?

2:56:56 No, yeah, no young missus a fast talker He has a very distinctive style. I've always liked him he seems objective I don't know it whether is and I doubt it but he seemed so And he has a they kept him in in the bands on one of the phony baloney new shows on MSNBC where they have to everybody doing a news show Where they just keep them keeping busy? and I always thought he'd be a good guy to have running it. He's like, he reminds me of the NBC version of Jeff Glore Yeah It was the CBS version very similar in styles kind of young energetic types But i think they'll do okay All right uh...I've always said that this was a big mistake and

2:57:54 I'm not the only one saying that this entire meme coin crypto business at the president's family is in. Yeah, I don't like the idea either. It's not very smart Here's a Deutsche Welle report about it. Trump advertised his gala dinner as the most exclusive invitation in the world Chinese billionaire Justin Sun one of just 220 mainly foreign guests posted a video of the experience on his Instagram account. The aim was to promote sales of Trump's cryptocurrency, which he issued just before his inauguration. The biggest investors including Sun were the ones given a seat at the table. Trump saw no problem with the event calling it private and rejecting claims that he was using it funnel money through his personal bank account and that guests were using it to buy access to the President of the United States

2:58:50 But Trump's opponents were unequivocal in their condemnation. We are here today to talk about exactly one topic, corruption. Corruption in its ugliest form. Donald Trump is using the presidency of the United States to make himself richer through crypto and he's doing it right out there in plain sight. The dinner is just the latest example of what critics say is a president's exploitation of his position for private gain There's no clear information on exactly how much Trump income has increased since he began his second term. But Forbes estimated his net worth in March at just over five billion dollars, a billion more than last year. The White House insists there is no conflict of interest and no wrongdoing because the Trump family business is now being run by the president sons and that Donald senior assets are in a trust managed to buy his children Yeah...and this really

2:59:52 It just has a stinky smell to it. Now, I have to say meme coins are that's not a cryptocurrency. A meme coin is like sneakers you know it's like whatever whatever you know... I think you hit there. There's like sneakers. There are there's a market for sneakers as the whole industry of people that collect Yes. Sneakers! And that's basically what it is. They trade and collect sneakers. So, that's basically what this is but it has a stench of scam... It has the stench of scam? Yes. Stench of scam. S-O-S. Stench of scam

3:00:36 Which, you know it's actually literally no different than sneakers. Some of these sneakers were going for... You know if you want to get some of the gold sneakers in aftermarket they were thousands of dollars but of course that's not how it's going to play and I think the president should have known this. From billion-dollar real estate deals in the Middle East to a flashy crypto investor dinner and the pardoning of political supporters concerns Donald Trump's second term is pulling the lines between This pardoning of political supporters, most of these recent pardons that they're bitchin' and moanin about. He doesn't know these people from Adam and they've never supported him No no but that's you know...that's not important You know what they're trying to do here But let this stay on the crypto bit Between personal and political like never before Critics also pointing to another venture That didn't exist in the first Trump term An emerging family cryptocurrency empire

3:01:31 On full display at this gala last week, an event where the top 220 buyers of his personal crypto meme coin were given exclusive access to Trump. Seen standing next to a podium with the seal of the president. The White House saying that Trump was only there in a personal capacity on his own time And I'm just one of 220 people that are invited. There's no media, there is no recording, there is no plus ones it's just truly some of the most influential figures in crypto and policy and of course the man himself. The top 25 meme coin investors even getting a tour of the White House like Justin Sun, a Chinese crypto mogul who was previously under investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission for fraud.

3:02:17 probe halted by the Trump administration in February. Both Trump and the first lady have a meme coin, I think that the initial meme coin launch was some of the most anger I've seen out of the crypto world towards Donald Trump. I think a lot of people in the crypto world view meme coins as a cash grab which is frankly fairly accurate. Cash grab, okay. A company associated with the Trump family also owns a 60% stake in another crypto venture World Liberty Financial. Trump's image is all over the firms website dubbing him chief crypto advocate but in a statement to ABC News World Liberty Financial claimed they are a private company with no ties to the US government

3:03:06 Once a crypto skeptic who said Bitcoin seemed like a scam, Trump has now fully embraced digital currency. I promise to make America the bitcoin superpower of the world and the crypto capital of the planet and we're taking historic action to deliver on that promise as the president is pushed for new policies that could directly impact his family's cryptocurrency ventures. The Justice Department has simultaneously rolled back crypto enforcement On Thursday, the SEC dropped a two-year lawsuit against Binance. The world's largest crypto exchange which federal regulators accused of mishandling customer money. The case was dropped just weeks after that Trump connected crypto firm World Liberty Financial announced a $2 billion deal where United Arab Emirates backed fund would use the firm's token to invest in Binance

3:03:59 A transaction that could generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the Trump family. See, I just don't think that's true? They're conflating a lot of different things but that's not the point The point is it's just bad luck we'll finish it up But the concerns of critics go far beyond the world of crypto From first lady Melania Trump's reported record-breaking $40 million deal for her new Amazon documentary to multiple Trump family real estate deals in the Middle East So now they're going off the rails. That is off the rails? That's off the rails, I mean look at the Obama deals. The Obamas, yeah. Bill Clinton, the whole Clinton global initiative that Clinton founded... Give me a break! How come no one has ever looked into the Clinton... and during his

3:04:49 tenure and especially the moment between him and Hillary's supposed to be president era. That global initiative that the Clinton Foundation was raking in foreign money Some of which closed in the weeks right before the president's swing through those very same countries. ABC News has learned plans are now in the works for a new private club in Washington, D.C., co-founded by Donald Trump Jr and Trump's crypto czar investor David Sachs The club's official name, Executive Branch. Intended as a haven for the Trump family and top MAGA allies. Trolling! The initial price tag for membership $500,000. Alright so anyway it was just I think the whole... It was just not smart that they did that it's just this hassle that nobody needs and it messes up their whole purity of Bitcoin

3:05:47 And they also take this idea the executive branch with the $500,000 thing brings to mind the Yakuza. Careful what you say! I've talked about it on the show before it's an old trick they tried to do... The Japanese frontman tried to do this with Pebble Beach and try to buy it and then people realize what was going on here One of the things that yakuza love to do is buy golf exclusive golf courses and then have outrageous membership fees. And then as a blackmail scheme, if you got in trouble with them and you had to pay them some money to make it above board that you had to take out... You had to get a membership.

3:06:39 take a membership, you'll be fine. Yeah get a membership and so the memberships were scam but it was good really smart yeah this is the idea that Donald Trump Jr is doing a similar kind of gambit Is he unaware? He's not unaware of this, of what the accusers are doing. Yeah you wouldn't think so So there is something fishy about that Well there is one other thing and I think that will be my last clip and this is about the pardons And Chris Chrissy went on this week with George Stephanopoulos to complain

3:07:16 about it with an interesting example. He even suggested this week that he could look at possibly pardoning Sean Diddy Combs, right? While the trial is still going on and he has no idea what the nature and quality of the evidence is and what the jury verdict would if he's found not guilty, he won't need a pardon. So this is just about him trying to be more and more outrageous. And also by saying something about Diddy, he deflects from a guy like Paul Walsack whose mother was a million dollar donor fundraiser for Trump. And this guy stole, George $10 million in payroll taxes the money that his employees give to him to pay their payroll taxes he stole that money The other thing is doing here George is eliminating white collar crime In America He's saying it doesn't exist Yeah How about that bridge gate Chris Christie? Forgot about that didn't we

3:08:11 Remember Bridgegate? Yeah, I do. Yeah. Kettle black etc Well if you're ending things up with that clip i have one last clip okay This is the bicycle users clip. Bicycle users clip, all right? New York City by one example in the last eight years has increased the number of bike lanes by 600 miles. There's 600 miles in New York City of dedicated bike lanes taking the real estate from cars and congesting cars which of course was the intention to make the car far more inconvenient. The IEA had the temerity

3:08:49 to brag about the oil savings from micro-mobility in cities. They pointed out in their latest World Energy Outlook that micromobility, bicycles and 15 minute cities is already saving a laughable 70 thousand barrels of oil per day globally. Again this is arithmetic, that's 0.07% of world oil China increases its consumption that much probably every three days I mean it's a number like that So who, you could ask benefits from this enthusiastic embrace of city bicycles? I mean you might have anecdotal experience with who you see using bicycle lanes in cities. I do but let me tell you what the data show because there are data on this and

3:09:34 In our country at least, here's what the Census Bureau tells us from last year. 0.5% of all US commuters use a bicycle Think about the percentage of bike lanes you're seeing in there 70 percent of American computers use a car driving alone And for those who bicycle to work I'm not talking about weekend entertainment having fun on a bike For those who bicycle to work The average age is 20-30 Over 70 percent are male 70% are white and 80 percent have college degrees. So much for the claim of equitable micro-mobility, it's shocking that there hasn't been more shock about the demographics of the corruption of city streets for that demographic. Yeah exactly yeah its exactly nonsense its total nonsense is good for bike messengers

3:10:27 They have and they were tearing up around here. First it started in Oakland, and then it's been all over the place now since El Cerrito all these local areas they're tearing up to streets putting up a kind of second meridian so that block off the bike lane that they're creating taking a whole lane away from cars And there's nobody in any of these bike lanes. I could make a video driving all through Berkeley and following all the bike lanes if I find one bike In a day, it's a miracle that sometimes there is a couple. But it would be some 25 year old white male pumping away usually in garb It's a ludicrous situation and its getting worse I'm gonna show my school by doing this to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah! That'd be fab Yeah on no agenda

And the only other one I want to mention because I was asked to give some light to it is the meetup on June 6th, Saaventum Belgium that is just a couple miles north of Brussels there's an airport there so that should be a good time sending a meetup report we've got Copenhagen Denmark coming up on the 13th Wow New York New York on the 14th these are good places

You don't have any ISOs

3:25:08 I have one lousy one which is just kind of a joke ISO. Oh, it says ISP okay that's why... Well whatever. It's not something i created it's just a dog so no your thing I'm glad I didn't do anything because the ISO was too good here's the one you had thank you for having me And here's the winner. What's that in your mouth? That's right everybody, John C. Dvorak is up now with his famous tip of the day! This is a new tool for you, uh... Tool. For you Photoshop users, photo editing types and AI nuts which will contribute to people doing art for the show And it's called- It's pretty new and it's hard to- I recommend

3:26:11 Googling for this because the, I'll give you some URLs but it seems to be all over the map insofar as what you want look for and I think Google has the best link. And it's called Flux Context with a K. K-O-N T-X-T, Flux F-U-L-X. And it comes from a company called replicate dot com but if you go to replicate dot com you'll never find it. You have to go to flux one dot A-I and you won't find it there necessarily and you won't find it at flux dot A-I that's some other thing operational together but if you wanted to find it right on the money besides using Google you have to go to flux one dot A-I slash

3:26:53 flux-contact and you'll get context. Sorry, my goodness! Context and you'll get right to it now It is a stunning editor that allows you to do very specific edits. Like, you can have a picture of somebody's face and say change their hair to blonde and it'll do that specifically without having to go through the rigmarole you have to go through with Photoshop or if you want to take somebody's head and put in on somebody else's body... Classic! You just tell it to do it If you want to turn somebody into a cartoon it does the best job of turning somebody into a cartoon I've ever seen. Now... Is only pictures or also video? No, you can also create no doesn't do video hmm no videos you gotta go otherwhere elsewhere You can also create pictures and drawings and cartoons from scratch with prompts

3:27:53 It just has a lot of potential and some of them you have to pay a nickel. so you might have to pay money for some of these images, but it's supposed to have a free element. It is just dynamite thing to check out. If anyone out there, Darren will give me eventually send me some feedback on this and why it's no good. But he'll... Or he'll tell me it's fabulous I don't know but this is definitely one of those tools that that you'll like to, it's just something you just want to play with for a while. Now are you sure this is really AI? It's not like that 1.5 billion dollar company that Microsoft was buying Builder dot AI I can't tell anything is AI all I know is it does some remarkable imagery manipulation that I've not seen anyone be able to do otherwise

3:28:48 And it might also be a lot of good demos. I mean, this is the problem with for example the hottest thing now is VEO3 from Google which creates all these crazy videos and you know the ones that you see demoed are just dynamite but you go try to do it yourself and there goes $1, you have to spend money to get it doesn't work. You know what my favorite is? Next time Jay's around, grab her phone. Get on the TikToks It's the Trump babies Have you seen these? Yeah I have actually Yeah i think those are pretty funny

3:29:29 Humor is I think the best target for all this AI stuff. The only target! It's the only one. Well, there's...I think album art is going to come out of this flex context thing. Yeah that's humorous. Album art is usually humorous. Yeah it is yeah. Can't wait to look and see how many what's-that-in-your-mouth arts we have. There you go everybody that is John C. Dvorak's tip of today You can find more tips today at noagendafund.com Created fast for you and me, just a chip with JCB. And sometimes Adam. Created by Dana Brunetti Yes we always want to thank Dana Brunetti for creating that What would we do without Dana Brunetti?

And Mello D, that's his new handle and I'm coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country right here in Fredericksburg it so cute in wine country In the morning everybody! I am Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we recommend going to noagendadonations.com I'm John C. Dvorak. And will be back on Thursday please join us then again remember us at noagendedonations.com until then Adios mofos, hui hui and such. Was that in the post? Yeah, where's this coming from? Is that code for something we don't know about maybe it's something told to us. Don't worry when I use the word can, we're not tapping out! I thought it was a British thing... Why would Trump be using the British as an excuse? What would the phrase be? It'd be driving me along? Stringing, stringing, that's what it is.

3:32:05 Tapping along, tapping along. President Trump launched a broadside against Russia's Vladimir Putin It makes me think for a second that maybe Putin doesn't want to stop the war and is just tapping me along tapping me along interesting tapping me along well if chat gpt doesn't know it what is that a song? tapping alone, tapping alone tapping alone

3:32:51 We're discussing, is that code system? That we don't know about. I thought it was a British thing. Why would Trump be using the British system? Yeah, but we know what it means! The version I believe to be the right version is golfing. Yes, I agree...I think thats... This is golf for him. It's not been media law. Interesting You know But in this moment, this moment, this morning our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech

3:33:56 is under attack and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes and into our private thoughts provided by you the feared sneak In America, in England, Tower can rewrite history with grotesque false narratives. Stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins, stablecoins...

3:34:37 What's that in your mouth?
