Starting point is 00:01:54 Yeah, I did. It's like, it turns out that guy that got killed was one of the opponents. I know. So,

Starting point is 00:02:04 let me just read the headlines so people hear this. Helicopter crash in Kenya kills defense chief and nine senior officers. Now, what were you saying about the other guy who got killed on his way to Vegas? I don't know about the guy

Starting point is 00:02:22 who got killed on his way to Vegas. Oh, okay. Tell me about that. No, that was the guy who got killed on his way to Vegas. Oh, okay. Tell me about that. No, that was the guy who got killed a while ago. Oh, no, this guy got killed in the chopper. Yeah, this would like half the cabinet. This is Kenya. It's Kenya.

Starting point is 00:02:35 Kenya? Is it Kenya or Kenya? It's Kenya. It's Kenya. It's one of the two. Kanye. So this guy was the guy who tried to overturn Ruta, who's the head of the country. Oh, that's right.

Starting point is 00:02:47 Oops. Oopsie. Tried to throw his election over, and now he's dead. Yeah, bad idea. That's a shame. Darn helicopters. Can't trust them. With your permission, I'd like to start with Max Azzarello.

Starting point is 00:03:04 Does this name ring a bell for you? I guess not, huh? That's like a softball. I could have just pretty much said a lot of different funny things. But yes, please start with Max Azzarello. Azzarello. Yes. Yes.

Starting point is 00:03:20 Max Azzarello is the guy who burned himself at the Trump trial. Yes, he has a hilarious. Well, I wouldn't call it. It's not meant to be funny. Well, allow me to give you some background. First of all, not fake, real guy, not a stuntman. First of all, not fake, real guy, not a stuntman. Azzarello and some of his thinking was known to me before this happened through a friend of mine who was asked me not to discuss it. So I won't. Okay, well, why are you discussing it? No, not to discuss that part.

Starting point is 00:03:57 I'm going to discuss him. So it's real because immediately like, oh, look at this. This is fake, phony, stuntman. No, no, no. The guy actually burned himself alive and right away what was the first thing we heard right away right away within seconds from the police chief from everybody the reporters on the scene it's in this clip tonight the full jury of 12 people and six alternates officially sworn in to hear the hush money trial of former President Trump.

Starting point is 00:04:26 But it was a chaotic and disturbing scene just across the street from the courthouse steps, putting everyone on edge. Video capturing a man setting himself on fire in the park area reserved for protesters. Bright orange flames engulfing his body shortly after 1.30. I heard someone scream, he's going to set himself on fire. I turned around and I saw a man dump liquid on himself on his face and he immediately lit himself with a lighter or something and everyone was screaming. There were some frantic moments as police looked for a fire extinguisher. Police managing to extinguish the blaze after several minutes

Starting point is 00:05:12 before an ambulance arrived to take him to the hospital in critical condition. His exact motivation tonight, unclear. But police say they see no connection between the incident and the trial of Mr. Trump. We do not believe he is, this was targeting any particular person or any particular group. We just, right now, label it as a sort of a conspiracy theorist, and we're going from there. Authorities say he threw pamphlets in the air before lighting himself on fire. The pamphlets seem to be propaganda-based, almost like a conspiracy theory type of pamphlet. Some information in regards to Ponzi schemes. Okay.

Starting point is 00:05:51 So you must ask yourself, why was his entire substack not deleted? This is something that usually happens immediately after something weird goes down. The manifesto is gone. It's no longer there. It's not available. They took it away. They had it goes down. The manifesto's gone. It's no longer there. It's not available. They took it away. They had it taken down because you're intended to read them.

Starting point is 00:06:11 And as you know, I, it's solidified. It's a conspiracy. It's just a conspiracy. It's just wacky, crazy, nut job. As you know, I like to read things

Starting point is 00:06:22 from so-called nut jobs. I, you know, we have talked for years about Ted Kaczynski's Unabomber Manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future, which is something everybody should read. We're kind of right in the middle of that right now. I only wish I had been able to know him to see that his amygdala was imploding. Nobody would listen to the guy. And this is, by the way, why this podcast and meetups are important. If you feel like no one's listening to you and your crazy conspiracy theories, stick around.

Starting point is 00:06:55 So I read everything, everything he has, all of the sub stacks. And I have to say he's not wrong about some things. Then I just wanted to discuss it briefly briefly the things that he talked about, because I think there's some validity to the Ponzi schemes, because we saw this exactly with FTX, Sam Bankman Freed, all this money being flushed to universities, to interest groups, voter fraud, politicians, corrupt groups in Ukraine. So he went really deep down that rabbit hole.

Starting point is 00:07:29 And this is why we really haven't been told much about FTX. And we just threw the autistic kid in jail, or really his parents. And this guy points out a lot about the Ivy League colleges. He says all of that is corrupt. But I have no doubt. He says all these crypto exchanges, the Silicon Valley bank collapse, which was heavily invested in crypto, all these altcoins. I think there are some interesting points that he made. And also that 27 of the Simpsons writers were from Harvard.

Starting point is 00:08:03 I didn't check it, but I'm going to just take it at face value. Meant to discourage us as meaningless drones. He says all of this stuff coming from the universities, especially Israel, Gaza, is all meant to facilitate confusion. His basic point is it's a big club and you're not in it. It's a big club and you're not in it. The COVID market collapse, checkmark recovery, money funneled out of Twitter by Elon. Of course, he thinks that's intended to crash and burn. Tesla with Bitcoin and Dogecoin and all of that being funneled away.

Starting point is 00:08:43 Elizabeth Holmes scam, Richard Branson projects, the Titan submarine submarine it's an interesting entertaining read not something we should just throw away that's all i had to say about him it what what i was i thought you were going to go into an exposition i have nothing on this by the way and i read all this stuff too and i read his pamphlets and i and his substance i will say it's highly entertaining yeah and uh there's something to the crypto ponzi scheme i i'd like that i like the crypto ponzi scheme but you know that has to execute before we can say anything well but it has i mean that's what ftx was that was billions of dollars that was slushed that was slushed in and out and and everyone's made whole i mean the whole thing is i i think there's a lot to it

Starting point is 00:09:31 it's sad i just don't give harvardians that much credit for being that into anything i think uh well undeniable the simpsons has predicted a lot of stuff he goes over the well it's foreshadowed 30 or 40 or 100 years uh and it's a goofball satire they're gonna end up you know just predicting stuff by accident but i think he exaggerates the predictions uh takes them too seriously and it's almost like comical because it is still a cartoon and nobody's been really watching it for the last decade. You know, he was a little over the top.

Starting point is 00:10:15 I don't take him seriously at all. I thought he was a lost soul. He obviously had issues, but there was a lot I was a lost soul he obviously had issues but there was a lot i thought that was very interesting and without a doubt i thought it was in entertaining period okay well that's i thought it was interesting beyond entertaining and people should read it for themselves and and it's intended for you to read it to call it a crackpot wackadoodle conspiracy theory that's why they leave it up.

Starting point is 00:10:45 It's very, that's, that's not the normal thing. Well, the one point you make, which I go along with, is why is it up? Yeah. So,

Starting point is 00:10:54 so you read it. And all the old stuff, he's got all his old stuff. The crazier stuff is actually in the background. Mm-hmm. And, yes, that normally gets taken down.

Starting point is 00:11:02 But then again, if I'm thinking, I'm in San Francisco, I'm running Substack, and I'm thinking, we're going normally gets taken down. But then again, if I'm thinking I'm in San Francisco, I'm running Substack, and I'm thinking we're going to take this down. Has anyone asked us to take it down? No, but normally people just take it down. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:14 We're getting views. We're getting Substack loot washers. We're not taking it down for a good reason. reason a little follow-up on uh Catherine Maher the um the the new NPR chief yeah well listen to this her dad uh her dad was Gordon Roberts Maher he passed away uh in 2020 and one of our producers dug up his obituary from Hoyt Funeral Home. Let me just read a little. Gordon Roberts Meyer, retired vice president of commodities operations and spiritual Parisian, died October 5th, 2020 in Newark, Connecticut of complications from alcoholism. Gordon, known as Rob, or less frequently more cherished to him, Gordo, was born in Noir, Connecticut, growing up in Wilton, Connecticut, for a time with his elder brother, Jim, elder sister, Pamela, and younger sister, Marcia. The family then decamped to Saint-Germain-du-Prez, France, as a result of their father's work at IBM, where family lore contends he may or may not have been a post-war spy.

Starting point is 00:12:23 Hello! It says it right there in the obituary and then it goes on to basically i mean this guy worked at all kinds of spooky organizations it sounds like the apple did not fall fall far from the tree huh yeah so that's just a little more solidification he worked at um he ran operations at astra goldman sachs ubs castleton commodities deep appreciation for tanker ships remarkable familiarity with the depth of the port of aden oh your favorite place. Yes, where the fish come out of the hole. The hole.

Starting point is 00:13:10 And this story will just not go away. Bill Maher, no relation, had something to say about this NPR not so much about Catherine but about uri who wrote the uh the scathing article uh calling them out as a bunch of uh radical radicalized uh anti-trump

Starting point is 00:13:34 nutjobs including himself there's not a big effort on the left to understand what they are talking about because i don't think it's insincere on their part i think they think we're going to hell in a hand cart and what isn't it hell in a hand basket what what yes it's always been hell in a hand basket but for some reason bill maher has more than once said hell in a hand cart because hand basket is from the guillotine right that's like your head gets chopped off your head falls into the hand basket and that's how you go into hell. But I don't know why he does that. We're going to hell in a handcart. And one reason I think that is because the story that came out this week about NPR. NPR is to them what this country would be if it was a permanent democratic governorship.

Starting point is 00:14:22 And if you missed the story on NPR, it's pretty interesting. A guy named Uri Berliner came out. He wrote it. He'd been there for a long time, 25 years. This guy, by the way, went to Sarah Lawrence and was raised by a lesbian peace activist. So he's... Very, very Sean Hannity.

Starting point is 00:14:42 Well, very Sean Hannity. He said, I've been at NPR for 25 years. He's very, very Sean Hannity. Yeah. Well, very Sean Hannity. Yeah. He said, I've been at NPR for 25 years. Here's how we lost America's trust. And it's just about how this place, which, you know, the show was called, the big show was called All Things Considered. It's not all things considered. He's not wrong. And he pointed out, for example, that of the 87 people working in editorial positions there, 87 are Democrats.

Starting point is 00:15:09 Even if you're a Democrat, you can't think this is good. There you go. Cracks in the armor, chinks in the armor. Bill Maher. Oh, no. Yeah, well, he actually had a really good rant about some other stuff later. But he's wrong about that. I know Democrats. I was a Democrat. I understand the thinking. That's not true. If you're sitting there in an operation where there are 87 Democrats and no Republicans, that's just peachy.

Starting point is 00:15:39 Nobody's thinking that. Oh, gee, this isn't right. He's full of sh*t. thinking that oh gee this isn't right he's full of sh*t you know i was listening i i could not clip it on the media which is a fine npr program brooke gladstone they were really you've been on that one for a while oh yeah because they're crazy besides you know besides now calling out christians as christians christian nationalist charismatic extremists, and it's these YouTube preachers who are dangerous to the country. They reviewed the movie. There's nothing more dangerous than a YouTube preacher.

Starting point is 00:16:14 I'm telling you. Like Dutch sheets, really? Yeah, and responsible for January 6th, by the way, because they had the white pinecone flags. It was the Christian nationalist charismatic extremists. for uh january 6th by the way because they had the white pine cone flags that's uh that's it was the christian nationalist charismatic extremists who with the white pine cone flag with the white pine cone flags i don't remember seeing that flag into and in my mind's eye i can't see what it is and i don't didn't see one on jan 6th no because because it's horse crap of course but then they went on to review the movie

Starting point is 00:16:48 civil war which i have not seen yet and for 15 minutes they because you know it's it's glorifying journalists i believe this movie like the journalists are trying to you know the whole point is you're glorifying journalists at this day and age. Yes, yes. Wow. Yeah, so they're all like, oh, yeah, these journalists. They were discussing it like it was a documentary. Like completely insane. This has to be listened to. I'll put a link in the show notes. Oh, you should have recorded it.

Starting point is 00:17:16 I have it, but it was just. Not clippable? It's. Sometimes you can get said. Now I would say this for people out there who want to know, you know, sometimes we have this situation where you have stuff and we did both dig them up yeah it's great but it's not not clippable and what that means is that they drag out the points it's impossible to edit you can't make it short and tight you can't do anything which, you can't make it bite-sized. No, no. Like the media wants.

Starting point is 00:17:47 Even though we like, we play long stuff, but it's, no, not clippable. I have this problem. I mean, yeah, I will try. I had some other stuff I was working on. It's easier to just summarize and move on. Yeah, I mean, insanity must be listened to. They're talking like it's literally uh the america post trump election re-election and we devolve into civil war and we have states california and texas have seceded

Starting point is 00:18:16 and these very brave journalists are making the trek all the way across the country to interview the president in dc And, you know, and then they literally are comparing it to their own experiences. Yes. It's like, you know, I know many war correspondents and they have the same feeling, the shell shocked feeling, but they're, yet they're happy to be live. And sometimes it's, it's just exhilarating and they're crazy. These people are crazy. Can I say that without, uh, can I say i say that without uh can i say does that uh suable can i say they're crazy yeah you can i think that's fine because it's just obvious your opinion i i would i would point to uh what journalists actually do with the clip

Starting point is 00:19:00 and this is what the journalists today do and. And so I would like to compare that to what you're analyzing in there. This is the NBC Today clip. Taylor Swift's new album came out. Taylor Swift is ushering in a new era with her highly anticipated album, The Tortured Poets Department, set to drop Friday. And Swifties around the world will not calm down about it. Overnight, rumors of an alleged leak of Taylor's new project buzzing online. Many Swifties quickly asking fellow fans to meet them at midnight for the official release. That's not cool.

Starting point is 00:19:33 Just wait. One tweeting, please do not spread the leak. Remember, this is Taylor's work. Respect it. The global sensation first teased new music at the Grammys. And in true Taylor fashion, she's been planting so-called Easter eggs about her album since then. Clues are embedded in old lyrics on Apple Music.

Starting point is 00:19:56 QR codes painted around the world directed fans to cryptic videos that some believe could spell out the album's first music video. And Swifties have the chance to tour a library pop-up riddled in secret messages in Los Angeles okay since you went there you took us there completely uncalled for nice tie-in with journalists was it nice talking about journalists I wanted to display some of their fine work nice tie-in of course most news is always intended to promote other entertainment products this is a no agenda staple we know that they spent a lot of there was money spent on this deal and so first of all parents i recommend you do not expose your children to taylor swift she is

Starting point is 00:20:40 a a witch uh i would, based on her stage performance, where she performs witchcraft plays, I believe she is part of the Wiccan lesbians in Hollywood who are controlling everything. And this is not a conspiracy theory. Pay attention. I'm sorry. Pay attention to my sub stack, okay?

Starting point is 00:21:02 Pay attention. But even worse, Taylor Swift can be dangerous to your child's health. It's a big day for Swifties everywhere. Has Taylor Swift's much anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department,

Starting point is 00:21:16 dropped today? I'm laughing because I'm trying to suppress a cough and I'm also thinking of Hunter Sowers going crazy in the newsroom right now. With song titles like I Can Do It With a Broken Heart, fans are in for some sad songs about heartbreak. But that may not be a bad thing. So how can Swifties and others possibly get some health benefits from that sadness?

Starting point is 00:21:36 Here's the answer. From a record-breaking tour to a brand new album, Swifties everywhere are united in their love of Taylor, heartbreak and all. But experts say there's an upside to sad songs. Listening to lyrics about the pain of a broken heart can actually benefit your emotional and mental health. The American Heart Association says a broken heart has ties to depression and mental health and can lead to conditions like heart disease. But experts say having a connection to someone can bring hope, even if it's an artist you don't even know.

Starting point is 00:22:08 And having a good cry can release feel-good endorphins and boost mental health, while holding back emotions may hinder your ability to have positive feelings. So, Swifties, turn off that music and let yourself feel it, because there's no need to shake it off. And that's the answer so uh so they're going to blame heart attacks on taylor swift's sad album that was very clear oh it could

Starting point is 00:22:34 could be dangerous to your health but it's okay to have a good cry what is this sponsored by the by the antidepressant big pharma industry get out of here well i didn't really expect you to top my clip yeah sorry i had to i mean who knew the antichrist would be a woman we never knew you know i i want to point a couple of things out in the most of the era of pop music there would be a superstar that come along and i'll back to Sinatra, probably, but after Sinatra, it became more obvious what was going on with Elvis Presley, and then later the Beatles, where you'd have these throngs of girls going nuts in the audience and crying and saying, you looked at me, all this stuff. In the audience and crying and saying, you looked at me, all this stuff.

Starting point is 00:23:40 But now we have the same exact throngs of girls of a different generation worshiping a woman instead of a guy, which was a very heterosexual thing when you had the screaming girls and the rock star on the stage. But now you have screaming girls and a female on the stage and who was it it's a hom*osexual event and who was it just before taylor swift who was the number one female artist come on john you know the answer well i'm i'm i think it's somewhere between madonna and taylor swift no no beyonce oh beyonce yeah well she rihanna come on man it's obvious. Well, she, Rihanna. Come on, man. It's obvious. Look at these,

Starting point is 00:24:09 the great Rihanna with her fabulous song, bitch better give me my money. Uh, whatever. It's a very, it's a toe tapper. I'm just saying that this is, this is a trend that you have identified that was never like that. And exactly what you said.

Starting point is 00:24:23 And it is not, not let me just go look at these children who parents are the children drag their parents but these are seven eight nine ten eleven twelve year olds completely in trance completely hysterical it used to be teenage teenage girls taylor swift is getting them even younger and it's not healthy. It's not good. And this album, I think it was like two old farts. Yeah, I do.

Starting point is 00:24:51 Rock and roll has got to go. Let's break all these records. We're going to steamroll them. Everybody come on in the morning, John and Adam, we're going to steamroll these records. Rock and roll has got to go. This is not rock and roll.

Starting point is 00:25:06 This is evil. No, it's not good either. It's evil. How does she expect? I'm sorry. I'm laughing because we are those guys now. Yeah, we are, but it's for good reason. Now it's finally come to fruition where it's actually needed. Now we really need to do it, yes.

Starting point is 00:25:24 This is the same thing that technology has've noticed as i talked about this about i've talked to with you too about how different technologies come and then they fail because they're they're the world's not ready for them and so you'd have it with ai for example but you know laptops uh just you know touch screens took forever to take hold yeah and now everyone has to have one. Except Apple. In the early days, they were mimicked and mocked, but then it caught on eventually. I would say the same thing for other societal trends. So now the rock and roll has got to go.

Starting point is 00:25:59 I guess now is the time. Yeah, I mean, it's damaging. Listen, I used to host Headbangers Ball. I mean, it's damaging. I'm not, I'm listen, I used to host headbangers ball. I wasn't worried about children. Now I am. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:26:13 Yeah. Yeah. Oh my goodness. That was a good concern about, to be honest about is there's no, where's the, there's no musicality or, or tremendous songwriting capabilities that I'm noticing.

Starting point is 00:26:26 This is not Bob Dylan level. It's not. Right. It's not. Yes, exactly. It's not Bob. We're not dealing with Bob Dylan. That's for damn sure.

Starting point is 00:26:42 Oh, good old Robbie Zimmerman, man. He had it down. He had it down. He knew what he was doing doing it's blowing in the wind brothers yeah it's no credence clearwater revival we can bring up more well anybody yeah oh man hilarious hilarious yeah but it's just not healthy it's really not healthy it's to me it's on the same level as the stupid books they leave in the school libraries. None of this is healthy, what's going on. Well, actually, that's the part that Bill Maher went off on. Oh, really?

Starting point is 00:27:17 Oh, that show. He went off on the trans thing, like there was no tomorrow. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Might as well play this clip then. the uh on the trans thing like there was no tomorrow oh really well yeah i just haven't well we might as well play this clip then um here we go you know because of course we know that you it's much better to have a living son than a dead daughter or whichever way it is and you know you've got to transition your kid well explain this. A possible school shooting was averted. Police in Maryland revealed new details today

Starting point is 00:27:49 about how they stopped a student's plan to carry out an attack. CBS's Nicole Skanga reports. A potentially catastrophic event was prevented. A possible school shooting thwarted. Authorities arrested 18-year-old Alex Yee, charging the high school student previously hospitalized for psychiatric treatment with making threats of mass violence at his high school and elementary school in Rockville, Maryland. According to charging documents, a friend alerted local police of a chilling 129-page memoir,

Starting point is 00:28:23 a story of a bully transgender teen's desire to shoot up his school, elements police say are pulled from the suspect's real life. Even after being removed from the school, he said that he could do something at graduation because he lived close to the school. He was preoccupied with self-harm school shootings and explosives police saying he google searched other mass shootings including sandy hook and nearby gun ranges police also recovered a bb gun from the suspect's home no other weapons were found and

Starting point is 00:28:59 the suspect is being held without bond was there any mention there of any psychiatric drugs in that report? No. And I also find it peculiar that they confiscated a BB gun. I know. Yeah, but... Good work, boys. And this is a girl who they constantly call he, he,

Starting point is 00:29:21 he, him, he. Stop doing that, M5M. There have been 140 threats made to Montgomery County Public Schools this school year, according to local police. The district has bolstered its security footprint and is now offering trauma counseling to students. The overall mood is definitely shocked, but thankful that nothing bad really happened. No one really expected this to happen. It's kind of crazy when it's your own school. We reached out to the suspect's attorney. We have not yet heard back.

Starting point is 00:29:51 Tomorrow marks 25 years since Columbine. Police say the suspect here mentioned that school shooting in recent online conversations. Margaret. Nicole Skanga, thank you. Yes, so if you bring up Columbine, you might as well bring up that those kids were all on SSRIs

Starting point is 00:30:08 oh I'm sorry we had no time for that there's a real crisis going on and when you jack up children on testosterone what do you think happens what do you think happens John? it's a bad mix

Starting point is 00:30:23 it's a very bad mix. Oh, man. This is so broken. So broken. Poor cats. Well, that brings me to a series of clips. All right. Here we go.

Starting point is 00:30:33 Which irks me because I wanted to put these in just before the break. Oh, why do you want to do that now? Why don't you do it before the... Because the punchline to the clips is related to this. All right. We can do all these. It's no big deal. It's no big deal.

Starting point is 00:30:50 I've done this a million times. We'll just do the... I have a grand scheme. It never works out. This is part of our... Once again, we rehearse something. John sends me the... I just got to tell people the story.

Starting point is 00:31:02 As always, when we... We never discuss anything. I don't listen to John's clips. He doesn't listen listen to mine we don't talk about what we're gonna do it just shows up so john sends me the clips and there's a a note there's a note it says note colon these clips are meant for just before the donation segment i'm like okay i can remember that and here we are once again a carefully scripted idea fails miserably this is but this is kind of our mo that's our default mode in fact we've done this so many times that uh i just just goes off water off a duck's back. That's right.

Starting point is 00:31:46 People are familiar with UnHerd. It's a website, a podcast. And a pub. And a pub. A pub in London, I think. Called UnHerd. And they're pretty famous. U-N-H-E-R-D. UnHerd.

Starting point is 00:32:02 No A in UnHerd. Right. UnHerd. not part of the herd. And so they decided they were kind of a value, not value for value, but they're, I wouldn't even call them that. There's kind of vertically, horizontally integrated, vertically integrated operation. So they're not value for value at all? Well, they have subscriptions and a mug club kind of thing. We need a mug club, John. We need a mug club john we need a mug club we need a mug club we we have a mug club people can go to no agenda uh whatever it says shop shop no agenda shop we get nothing it's a great club you get a mug the artist gets some money the shop gets some money we got nothing

Starting point is 00:32:43 donation from time to time. We've got a mug club. We've got a better mug club than anyone's. They need to get more business. Okay, so they decided they're going to start advertising, and it becomes an issue. And that's the connection to our break, where they start advertising, and I can say at the end, look, this is why we don't advertise, blah, blah, blah. I'm just going to...

Starting point is 00:33:07 That was the idea. Good plan, good plan. It was the idea, but here we go. This is the unheard advertising problem one. On the future of news, they'd invited me to come. And there we ended up talking a lot about disinformation because over the past few months, as part of our normal routine business

Starting point is 00:33:25 here at UnHerd, we seem to have stumbled upon something really quite important, which is a worldwide system of censorship that crosses continents and that we think more people need to know about. So it all started last year when we decided to put adverts on our website for the first time. We have a paid subscription, which I hope you are signing up to. We also have a cafe and a members club here in London. So we have a bunch of different revenue sources, but we've never had proper ads. So we wanted to add that. And we went to three successive ad agencies, each of which were really excited.

Starting point is 00:34:01 What happened there? What happened to the audio all of a sudden? It cuts to his testimony before the House of Commons. Thank you. What happened there? What happened to the audio all of a sudden? It cuts to his testimony before the House of Commons. Thank you, thank you. And we went to three successive ad agencies each of which were really excited about our product. We have a large audience in the UK

Starting point is 00:34:15 and the US, very influential people, etc. The numbers they were expecting us to get were very significant and each time, in three successive times, we only got a tiny tiny fraction of what was expected and this was a real mystery the ad agencies themselves were confused by just a comment for me this is one of them to be very very transparent about it when john and i started this we didn't want ads and the reason we didn't want ads is we didn't want to have

Starting point is 00:34:42 meetings with agencies that was that was the whole reason like do't want ads is we didn't want to have meetings with agencies. That was the whole reason. Like, do you want to meet with advertisers? No. Do you? No. That was really our reason in the beginning. That was a reason. It was probably the primary reason, especially coming from you, who was sick of it.

Starting point is 00:35:02 To do it, but you were sick of it. It's like whenever we screwed something up at pod show oh bring out the mtv got like bring out the gimp yeah you were the guy that was the gimp you were the go-to celebrity who is who's out to be shot in the head yes he'll take in front of somebody he'll take the bullet here's the guy okay now grovel grovel grovel monkey at every company advertiser whatever there was always some woman who remembered me from mtv woman woman adam you go take care of it okay so that was yes that was mainly you were not this is not you were not amenable no sir doing this for the rest of your life no no it had to end and it's been a glorious 16 years

Starting point is 00:35:54 it's been glorious it's been glorious yeah yeah you in fact your knee pads you sold them okay okay simmer down grandpa you don't have to be like that. Sorry, blatant ageist jokes. Not fair. So, is that the whole clip? Yeah, yeah, we're on to number two. Okay, so they're looking for what happened. We're a big operation, and they are. Everybody knows who we are.

Starting point is 00:36:21 This whole idea of advertising is flopping. What's wrong? Here we go. Eventually, with the third agency, they revealed what they were seeing on their internal dashboards. We were using an ad agency. They then used a technical platform called Grapeshot, which is a British company that was sold to Larry Ellison's Oracle back a few years ago. And Grapeshot, in turn, then pinged something called the Global Disinformation Index all the way up the chain for information about brand safety. That is, whether or not brands would want to be associated with particular websites.

Starting point is 00:36:59 It turns out we had been put on the GDI's dynamic exclusion list, which is basically their list of most dangerous publications that you should not go anywhere near. Obviously, we were a bit baffled by this, as was our ad agency, because we publish some of the most famous writers in the world, prize-winning authors, professors from prestigious universities. We interview politicians, professors from prestigious universities. We interview politicians, pop stars, cultural icons, playwrights, all sorts of people who you really wouldn't expect would end up on the exclusion list of some organization like that. So we complained. And eventually, after weeks of waiting, we got this in response. I kind of love hearing his British accent explaining this whole thing. I kind of love hearing his British accent explaining this whole thing.

Starting point is 00:37:45 Grapeshot. Yes. Part of Larry Ellison's Oracle, which is the biggest data broker in the universe. Hello. Yeah, but they were deferring to this operation. Yeah, the Global GDI, the Global Disinformation Index. Really? These guys didn't know about that i'm surprised and here we go well they've never advertised or anything before or cared yeah uh which by the way is

Starting point is 00:38:12 kind of an interesting blind spot because you know you're doing all these fabulous as he went on and on and on with these fabulous interviews basically they're completely oblivious to the simple reality that's in front of them basically ted talk but oh no oh no oh no so here's the note that they got and it's read by a third party it makes i think it makes it more dramatic and here we go our team re-reviewed the domain the rating will not change as it continues to have anti-lgbtqi plus narratives the site authors have also been called out for being anti-trans kathleen stock is acknowledged as a prominent gender critical feminist she has opposed transgender self-identification

Starting point is 00:38:51 in regards to proposed reforms in the 2004 uk gender recognition act so i've got to confess we were pretty outraged by that email i mean in the context of the past review here in the uk which has just found the whole parts of the gender affirmation so-called medicine treatments that were offered over the past few years to children were under evidenced and irresponsible in the context of that the importance of publishing dissenting voices like kathleen stock who email references, should be even more obvious. The GDI added further links to articles by Julie Bindle and another by Debbie Hayton, who is actually a trans woman but who has a slightly different opinion about some of the ideology. Apparently, the GDI thinks that holding quote-unquote gender-critical beliefs, i.e. believing that

Starting point is 00:39:45 biological differences are real and matter, equates to disinformation. Despite the fact, firstly, that those beliefs are now specifically protected in British law, since the Maya Forstater case we had here, it's actually enshrined in the Equalities Act that it's a protected characteristic. And it's also, polling evidence shows, held by the majority of the population. So you have a weird scenario where a self-appointed organization is deciding that a explicitly legal and majority-held view is enough to get an entire website blocked from international ad exchanges. Join the mug club, everybody. That's what it's going to be. Yeah. everybody that's that's that's what it's gonna be yeah and this is that's that wonderful cast review which you uh which i think you had the clips yeah we broke it down a

Starting point is 00:40:33 couple shows ago and uh which uh surprise surprise has received no attention in the united states and uh apparently uh very little attention in the, because if you bring attention to the cast review, you will be demonetized. Demonetized. Yeah. So there is an agenda, which is what... What? What? No.

Starting point is 00:40:58 Again, this is part of that long Bill Maher piece. There is an agenda, and it's a trans agenda, and this trans agenda is blocking things from the top down and the bottom up. So to speak. And they're keeping everything to their standards, and so you can't speak about any of this stuff if you're not doing what we do, which is value for value, which is what I wanted to do just before the break,

Starting point is 00:41:34 because to imply or to tell people, hey, this is important, you have to donate to this show. And that's the reason that this is all in a nutshell. You can't get. You won't get any information otherwise. It has to be done this way, which you've been advocating this since

Starting point is 00:41:51 you coined value for value and you're the one who brought it up first. And I know where it came from, who knows where, but you can't get real information to the American public anymore because of these restrictions, these artificial restrictions that are put on in and around advertising. It's a corrupt system.

Starting point is 00:42:15 Did Bill Maher say that the way you did? Pretty much. Oh, okay. Good for him. He'll be deplatformed. Time to go, Bill. It's your every 20 years he gets kicked off. It was a long piece that he did.

Starting point is 00:42:29 I find him hard to watch. It depends on the guests. Yeah, well, he's so glib. He's like, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Okay, well. And he brags about being childless, which I think is kind of pathetic.

Starting point is 00:42:42 It's sad. It's sad. It's sad. Yeah, see. childless which i think is kind of pathetic sad it's sad that's sad yeah see i'm so cool because i can smoke weed in my basem*nt studio with celebs like really katie couric i didn't clip that either but katie couric man what happened to her she used to be nice she was always seen uh in from insiders in the business as a shrew. Oh, well.

Starting point is 00:43:07 She was never nice. Interesting. Tina said, did you see what Katie Couric said? She's sitting there like, you know, I'm going to paraphrase. These dumb Trump voters, they're jealous of our intellect. Paraphrasing.

Starting point is 00:43:24 But that's pretty much what she said yeah i can see that like there's a weird arrogance amongst the uh amongst that the elite the globalist elite if i mean i well see the problem i have with it with saying that about her i don't see her as being an elite. I mean, she's a globalist, maybe, but she's not an elite. She's just a working stooge. She works for a living. She's not some hot shot.

Starting point is 00:43:59 I remember her. Back in the day, I had OnRamp, my my first company and she was like we have something very exciting you can now send something called electronic mail and they're trying to figure out what year was that uh well that must have been 94 i'm thinking oh brother yeah here um i wonder if i still have that no No, I don't see it anywhere. NBC email. Because I know I had that one. To say something like that in 1994 is an example of being a moron.

Starting point is 00:44:38 Well, yeah. You send it to NBC Today Show at, and it was like ge, no, it was like nbc.ge.net. That was back when the sysadmins were all anal about the naming of their machines. It wasn't just a simple, like, you know, todayshow.com. No, we didn't have any of that. like, you know, todayshow.com. No, we didn't have any of that. And by the way, so we got for you noagendaabc.com.

Starting point is 00:45:10 Yes. ABC, noagendaabc.com. I retrieved the coloring book from the mailbox, had a little chat with the neighbors. Hey, neighbor, how you doing? What you doing? Get my mail. And with...

Starting point is 00:45:23 Is it communal? Is that communal that people are in there with you yeah i just want you to imagine that i can't it's a little forget it it's a little island it's a little island and that's where people stop with their car and get out and get their mail from the mailbox yeah and then you know like i'm walking the dog hey neighbor how you doing yeah yeah it's quite communal we're a nice little group here um so i retrieve my uh my uh no agenda abcs written by adam curry john c devorek illustrated by jm devorek but should she not was this did she not take her uh her husband's name uh she's got so many names

Starting point is 00:46:00 now it's ridiculous uh-huh this is this is why are you using this name you have and she well and she has these excuses i'm using the you know she has her reasons jm sensor j morgan and but jm she likes morgan's a nice name i like morgan for it's a good girl it's a good so was that what you got to put in there mimi to came up with J and you said, but I want my name. No. Mimi picked both names. I wanted her to be named Reed. R-E-A-D or R-E-E-D. I'm sorry, R-E-E-D, but it would

Starting point is 00:46:34 be pronounced Reed Dvorak. So the people would be reading your blogs? Is that it? Wow, you're a horrible dad. It was a promotional idea that was a winner you're the worst no agenda no agenda abc.com is uh yeah but anyway so you like the i thought the book was dynamite the coloring book is the winner yeah i love it um i showed it to you know we had

Starting point is 00:47:01 painters going on painting in the house and wow. And then they're cracking up. I mean, it is to be given to your children under 10 with some supervision. There's some adult themes in there, like boots on the ground. Vaccined. You might want to discuss this or shut up, slave. Shut up, slave. A couple of things you might want to discuss with your kid before they go running around, say, in that bit at grade school. Shut up, slave.

Starting point is 00:47:31 Shut up, slave. But it is an outstanding product. I think, you know, Jay is really, she's done a great job. I think this Gateview Publishing is a great business that she seems to be running everything. Of course, we have. Yeah, we give her advice about it because we kind of know what to do. is a great business that she seems to be running everything of course we have yeah she always yeah we give her advices about it because we kind of know what what to do but yeah but uh it's i think going to be shipping on may 6th that little the coloring book the other book is always available

Starting point is 00:47:56 i think it's available now oh really oh that's already out there okay i think so whatever may 6 look at may 6 but yes the regular colored in book is $33, which... $33.33, baby. $33.33. The coloring book is $11.11. And someone pointed out to me that with this new Gateview publishing imprint... Is that what we call it? An imprint?

Starting point is 00:48:22 No, no, no. It's a public... No, an imprint is if you if you're running a publishing company and you got some superstar that's working for you as a as a writer or something and you and they're producing so much stuff and they have and they always have ideas hey let's all do this once you do that you give them they get an imprint and so it would be you know like uh adam curry gaveview publishing and you'd have your name on okay yeah i i had an imprint with mcgraw hill for a while one of our okay one of our uh phds in

Starting point is 00:48:52 media deconstruction dr derrick j visker sent me a note and he said i was listening to show 1652 and i i do believe john gave you a hint about uh he said, at time code one hour, two minutes, and 14 seconds, he said, this will be in my memoir, Douchebags I've Known. And Dr. Derek says, you know, that's going to be his vinegar book. And I'm like, yes. You've been holding back on me. The vinegar book is going to be you sour writing sour Dvorak sour Dvorak about douchebags

Starting point is 00:49:30 you've known it will be a hit I mean people always like to know who the douchebags are well of course that's what Kara Schwisher did that's her book it's like here's the douchebags is that what her book is about? oh yeah it's about all the tech guys and how douchey they are.

Starting point is 00:49:47 That's pretty much the book. Sarah Lacey is kind of in that same league. These women, they get involved with these douchebags of Silicon Valley. You and I, we know most of them. Yep. And yeah, a lot of them are douchey and they don't have much in the way of a lot of knowledge or personality or insight or wisdom, but they have the knack,

Starting point is 00:50:12 and when women get involved, they actually think it's going to be fair, even, and oh, the women are coming in, we're going to help the ladies, and then they get pushed aside unless they're pretty much like the guys, and they're not, many of them, and then they get pissed aside unless they're pretty much like with the guys and they're not many of them and then they get pissed off about it and write them up as douchebags yeah yep yeah um i have a presentation on uh israel uh uh gaza so if you have any clips to

Starting point is 00:50:42 get us going about the most recent events i'd like to play those first i have uh the israel airstrike killed a person and it's really oh let me play it here oh i'm sorry okay yeah start with that now see if there's anything else an israeli airstrike on a house in gaza southern city of rafa overnight killed at least nine people six of them children that's according to hospital officials oh that was that was it that was it that's all you got i don't have any more no i went toward you i have some ukraine and i got some no no no wait for all that wait you take it over you got it yeah of course we we did have uh the so-called retaliation by Israel, which Israel has not claimed yet. And there's a lot of back and forth.

Starting point is 00:51:30 But I was, so after our discussion on 1652, I got a lot of emails. I don't know if you did. I got a lot of email. I got a lot of hate mail. I think people misunderstood. And I had to block a couple of them. mail. I think people misunderstood. And I had to block a couple of them. Yeah, I think people misunderstood. They think that we're lumping everybody in into Jew haters.

Starting point is 00:51:51 But no, we were talking about actual Jew haters who just hate Jews. Yeah, they're up there. I think people misunderstood that. They think that we had people that are normal listeners. They seem to be. And then they say, I'm not going to be called a jew hater i quit this show oh no i didn't get any of those i didn't get any of those i got one of those yeah but but that is uh that's not what we were talking about um yeah it's very interesting

Starting point is 00:52:19 a lot of christians sent me very long emails quoting lots of scripture. Yes, of course, Isaac and Ishmael, and there's a lot of different things. I got none of that. Thank you, Lord. The Lord blesses you, John. And he loves you, and he loves you. However, one of our Jesus Freak listeners did send me a phenomenal half-hour interview, which it will be linked in the show notes, with Dr. Michael Hudson, Professor Hudson. And he's 85 years old. Have you ever heard of Hudson?

Starting point is 00:53:00 I can't say that I have. Okay. So Hudson has been around. He was in the Hudson Institute. The Hudson Institute was not his, just a coincidence. The Hudson Institute was set up by Herman Kahn. That name must mean something. I have heard of him.

Starting point is 00:53:16 Yeah, he was physicist, founding member of the Hudson Institute, regarding one of the preeminent futurists and military strategists. And so the Hudson Institute was Khan, in essence. You'll hear that he was actually the Dr. Strangelove. He was the example for Dr. Strangelove in the movie Dr. Strangelove. And it was the Rand... I'm sorry? Dr. Strangelove. And it was the random.

Starting point is 00:53:43 I'm sorry. Well, not to correct you, but the Dr. Strangelove was fashioned after, uh, Edwin Teller, university of California. Well,

Starting point is 00:53:52 even the Wikipedia says that he was the inspiration for Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. So that's up for the whole story maybe, but not for the character. Okay. Good point. Uh, but this is, uh, so the Hudson Institute, love so that's up for the whole story maybe but not for the character okay good point but this is so the hudson institute let me bring that up here the hudson institute think tank based in washington dc founded in 1961 it was called that because it was in croton on hudson new york

Starting point is 00:54:19 herman khan khan and his colleagues at the rand corporation there's one we haven't talked about in a long time the rand no it's because they've been subsumed they're they're largely missing they got a new name i think you know if they change names i think so um in 2023 politico reported the rand corporation was a driving force behind the White House's new AI reporting requirements after it took more than $15 million in discretionary grants on AI and biosecurity from Open Philanthropy. We all knew who that is. So, needless to say, these are still in business. Sorry. Yeah, they're still in business.

Starting point is 00:55:02 I guess they're still in business, sorry. Yeah, they're still in business. But these are not your above-board guys, Khan and the Rand Corporation. So when someone of this age speaks, I like to listen. Because someone who's 85 doesn't give a crap anymore, and will tell you the truth. Right. I'm just saying. And will tell you the truth about what's really going down. And he had a very, very simple, very historical take on what is going on with Israel. Now, in general, the thinking from people who hate the Zionists and are anti-Zionist, which is, I have no problem.

Starting point is 00:55:40 That's all fine. Zionism being that Israel should be the homeland for the jews and there's a a big um a big group of people who really believe that israel is running the show that israel uh controls all our politicians uh goes all the way through epstein and mossad and they have completely blackmailed everybody now Now, some of that may be true. Podcasting 2.0. I'm sorry? Yeah, Israel running Podcasting 2.0.

Starting point is 00:56:11 It's pretty obvious. Clearly running Podcasting. It was all their idea. And so when I started to watch this interview, I'm like, I have to clip this. And there's a lot of stuff I didn't, which I'll get to later, interview i'm like i have to clip this and there's a lot of stuff i didn't which i'll get to later because he did go into um the real you know the original idea of israel 1948 um but here's an intro he's going to explain who he is a little bit of his background he's an economist just so you know that's what he is 50 years ago in 1974 i was working with the hudson institute with herman

Starting point is 00:56:42 khan and my colleagues there uh were a number of Mossad agents who were being trained. Uzi Arad was there, and he became the head of Mossad and is currently the main advisor to Benjamin Netanyahu. So all of what is happening today was discussed 50 years ago, So all of what is happening today was discussed 50 years ago, not only with the Israelis, but with many of the U.S. defense people. Because I was with the Hudson Institute, which was a national security agency,. And the Defense Department used my book, Super Imperialism, not as an expose, but a how to do it book. And they brought me there as a specialist in the balance of payments. Herman brought me back and forth to the White House to meet with cabinet members and to discuss the balance of payments. He also brought me to the war college and to the Air Force think tanks.

Starting point is 00:57:50 Okay, so a couple important things. One is the balance of payments. Can you explain balance of payments simply? Yes, when we export less than we import and how that money goes back and forth and how it operates. It's an art, I guess. I don't know how to do it because I don't do it.

Starting point is 00:58:12 But it has to do with trade. 1961, I believe, is the year that Eisenhower did his famous military-industrial complex speech. Do I have that date right? It would have been before that. I think it was 1590.

Starting point is 00:58:24 It had to be when he was leaving office okay so now we get into uh herman khan and uh mr hudson's story starts to unfold so all of what is happening now it uh was described a long time ago. And Herman was known as a futurist. He was Dr. Strangelove in the movie. That was all based for him on his theories of atomic war. But he was also the main theorist behind Vietnam. And nobody seems to have noticed that what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank now is all based on what was the U.S. strategy during the Vietnam War. And it was based on the strategic hamlets idea, the fact that you could cut back, you could just divide all of Vietnam into little parts, having guards at all the transition points from one part to another. Everything that Israel is doing to the Palestinians in Gaza and elsewhere throughout Israel was all pioneered in Vietnam. So that to me was very interesting.

Starting point is 00:59:48 So the idea, as Dr. Hudson will continue to explain here, was always to rid all of Israel from anything else that was there. He goes into great detail about how the Jews were so mad they really wanted to get back at, they really just want everybody dead. Get everybody out. This is our home. Get rid of it. You know, 1948, the British and the United Nations, we put Israel on the map, and there's a lot of history there. But that's not as interesting as to how he takes that knowledge and applies it to Palestine today. takes that knowledge and applies it to Palestine today.

Starting point is 01:00:31 And surprise, surprise, it's actually not that Israel is in control of America. This is the exact opposite as we have been using Israel for our operations, a classic steal everybody's oil i could see that the intention from the very beginning was to get rid of uh the palestinians and indeed to use israel as the basis for u.s control of near eastern oil that was the the constant discussion uh of that from the american point of view. It was Israel as a part of the oil. So Herman's analysis was on systems analysis. You define the overall aim, and then you work backward. How do you do it? Well, you can see what the Israeli policy is today. First of all, you isolate the Palestinians and strategic hamlets. That's what Gaza had already been turned into for the last 15 years. It's been carved up into districts with requiring electronic passes from one sector to another, to go into Israel, to go to Jerusalem, or to go to Israel for jobs to work.

Starting point is 01:01:48 The aim all along has been to kill them, or first of all, to make life so unpleasant for them that they'll emigrate. That's the easy way. Why would anyone want to stay in Gaza when what's happening to them is what's happening today. You're going to leave. But if they don't leave, you're going to have to kill them, ideally by bombing, because that minimizes the domestic casualties. And Israel doesn't want its soldiers to die any more than Americans do. So the American form of war, as it was in vietnam is bombing them in fact i would say bomb them bomb them and then bomb them again uh before i continue what are you drinking i heard you i heard you crack it i have uh this is interesting this this is maison perrier perrier This is Maison Perrier, or Perrier, Perrier, or whatever.

Starting point is 01:02:47 And it, which is not Perrier, it is a, it's either owned by them or a spinoff. The French, you know, once they lose their copyrights, they allow copycats to come up and make product. Like Sabatier, there's about 10 companies making these knives now. Wow. And it's just sparkling water. And the kicker is with electrolytes. No. It really has electrolytes?

Starting point is 01:03:12 It says, yeah. Sparkling water with electrolytes for flavor. Because it's not mineral water. It's just French tap water that's been bubbled. With forever chemicals, no doubt. Electrolytes. All right, back to our story. Now, what I like about this guy is this 85-year-old guy, he says things that we have heard said in recent clips on this show.

Starting point is 01:03:37 For the United States, what they wanted was the oil reserves in the Middle East. And again and again, I heard the phrase, you're our landed aircraft carrier in Israel. Where have I heard that before? Ben Shapiro. The claim that America is basically just cutting a check to Israel and seeing no benefit on the other end. First of all, America gets massive intelligence benefits from Israel, which is the largest intelligence base for the United States in the Middle East. Second of all, Israel is essentially a floating aircraft carrier or a non-floating aircraft carrier for the United States in the Middle East. Second of all, Israel is essentially a floating aircraft carrier or a non-floating aircraft carrier for the United States. America works with the Israelis and uses Israeli assets in order to pursue targets in the Middle East.

Starting point is 01:04:14 Pursue targets. Well, now we know. The target has, of course, always been the oil. This is what the Bush family was after in Iraq, even though it was Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. And we all went, was after in Iraq, even though it was Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. And we all went, okay, Saddam Hussein did 9-11 or whatever. No, no, no, it's the aircraft carrier. That is our central base to go take the oil, which we're still doing in Syria. The phrase, you're our landed aircraft carrier in Israel. Uzi Arad, the future Mossad head, would be very uncomfortable at this because he wanted Israel to be run by the Israelis. But they realized that for Israel to get by with the money that it needed for its balance of payments, it had to be in a partnership with the United States. So what you're seeing today isn't simply the work of one man, of Benjamin Netanyahu. It's the work of the team that President Biden has put together.

Starting point is 01:05:12 It's the team of Jake Sullivan, the National Security Advisor, Blinken, and the whole deep state, the whole neocon group behind them, Victoria newland uh and everyone uh they're all so uh self-proclaimed zionists uh and they've gone over this plan for uh essentially america's domination of the near east for a decade after decade i like what i'm hearing now things are falling into place for me which also makes a lot of sense why trump is such a bad deal because he wants to drill in america it's like yeah let's not you know and what did trump say we did we were so stupid we didn't even take the oil he knows that was the theme is still a theme yeah he knows he knows he knows what they're doing he knows what the idea is

Starting point is 01:06:05 now we get an interesting comparison between president johnson and president biden but as the united states learned in the vietnam war populations protest and uh thought they uh the u.s population protested against the vietnam war what uh the the Biden administration wants to avoid is the situation that President Johnson had in 1968. Any hotel, any building that he went to, to give a speech for his re-election campaign, there were crowds shouting, LBJ, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today? There were crowds shouting, LBJ, LBJ, how many kids did you kill today? President Johnson had to take the servants' entrance to get away from the press so that nobody would see what he was doing. And essentially, he went on television and resigned.

Starting point is 01:07:09 How history repeats but really rhymes literally rhyming how many kids you kill today i mean i don't have to play the multitude of clips that we have of this chant of all of these chants so we're repeating history here in a very interesting way yeah well i'm liking this by the way this guy's analysis but it just brings to my mind what are they thinking in an election year yeah that's a good question that's a good i mean sometimes well i mean if we go back right if we go back and we look at october 2nd this is when uh Israelis went into the Al-Asqa Mosque. October 7th is when Hamas retaliated with the border wall left completely wide open. I think that Netanyahu was sitting there like, it's time. So maybe he jumped the gun. Maybe he didn't have a chat with

Starting point is 01:08:00 anybody. Maybe he was trying to save his own skin i'm actually coming around to your thesis now instead of this is intended to get him out it's intended to keep him in um i think there was a miscoordination here and it's not an election year for biden but maybe and maybe it's part of getting trump in john well yes there's that possibility okay so you got to rotate this biden guy out so uh only they can accomplish it's like let's okay jake sullivan's always seen as like the worst character and he's really running everything it's like one of those situations where you bring that like in a corporate situation you bring the hatchet man in. And he comes in and wrecks the place, but ends up doing what he's supposed to do, which is fire this guy, that guy, this guy, that guy, and all these other guys. You can bitch about it later.

Starting point is 01:08:54 And then you up in arms because he's butchered the place because that's what you brought him in for. He's a hatchet man. And then you get him out of there immediately and bring in somebody who can actually run the place. And that could be what's going on. So during the election year, it actually works out fine because it confirms our thinking that Trump has been benighted to become the next president, like it or not. And maybe, who knows? We don't know everything, but man, I love listening to this old coot because he's got some interesting insight. Now, if you recall, right away, and let's just look at what we've seen on television.

Starting point is 01:09:32 You have not seen 300,000 Ukrainian men being killed. You have not seen any real war. Yeah, you see some burned out buildings. We saw a little bit two years ago, but it's really all been Gaza, horrible images, body parts flying everywhere. It's been horrible. And right at the very beginning, if you recall, remember how many journalists were killed? They were counting how many journalists were dead. And they're still talking about it on the network, on NPR and elsewhere. And to prevent the embarrassment of journalists who were doing

Starting point is 01:10:06 all this, Seymour Hersh described the Malay massacre, and that helped inflame the opposition to Johnson. Well, President Biden has approved Netanyahu's plan, the first people you have to kill are the journalists. If you're going to commit genocide, you have to realize that you don't want the domestic U.S. population or the rest of the world to oppose

Starting point is 01:10:35 the U.S. and Israel. You kill the journalists. For the last ever since the October 2nd El Apsa event, you've had one journalist per week killed in Israel. That's part of it. The other people you don't want, if you're going to bomb them, you have to start by bombing the hospitals and all of the key centers. That also was part of the idea of the

Starting point is 01:11:07 vietnam war how do you destroy a population this was all worked out in the 1970s when people were trying to use systems analysis to think how do you work back and see what you need so um at this point in the interview he goes into a whole thing about ukraine and how um you know how it's always been about getting rid of the anti-semites which you know is not discussed but that's a lot of what was going on in ukraine and but the he said he in essence says these neocons they kind of lost sight of what the original mission was with the zionists and you know with getting back at at russians and ukrainian um anti-semites and he says that now this gone crazy about the oil of course everybody is everybody is making money off of this it's it's got to be a bonanza that we

Starting point is 01:12:00 have no idea how huge that is and i want want to, before you completely go into your next thoughts, I still want to back up and talk about these dead journalists. Yeah, sure. Because there's been, we've not really paid much attention to it, but there's been instance after instance of supposedly an Israeli soldier shooting the journalist. And they know who it was. Yes. And they make a fuss about it.

Starting point is 01:12:30 Oh, he shot this Palestinian journalist. And then, oh, yeah, well, it was an accident. And then one after the other, we have all these dead journalists, which everyone's now noticing because there's hundreds of them. And I like that. That was very interesting. noticing because there's hundreds of them. And I like that. That was very interesting.

Starting point is 01:12:48 But the second thing that he said in that regard, because I remember this, is the emergence of something called systems analysis. Yes, that's what Carb did. Which was a huge deal in the computer world because the IT guys were called systems analysts. But it was part of a bigger movement to try to understand complete systems of governing, of how things work, how corporate governance works. And the systems analyst was the one who was looking, who did the reorgs, and they said, let's look at this. There's all these things, downsizing, and then that became rightsizing,

Starting point is 01:13:26 and then all these other terms came and went. But systems analysis was the big deal, and that kind of disappeared. Well, it didn't disappear because they did systems analysis. Exactly what he said earlier is make these little hamlets. Everybody digital passes, go back and forth. I mean, he goes into a whole bunch of things about starving him out keeping him just barely alive but the whole idea is still as we've surmised before is they want palestine empty and so now you get to and this guy he's so on the ball um so when we look at oil there's not just oil there's gas and we know from the leviathan Project and what was the Bill Clinton company that he was in?

Starting point is 01:14:10 Was it Clinton or Bush? No, it was Clinton. Clinton had some of that gas. Yeah, I remember. It was some crazy company we isolated. We knew who we were. Someone invested in it and made money on it and then donated. I can't remember what it was.

Starting point is 01:14:24 Yes, I remember that. The stock skyrocketed. So there is a large gas field off of Gaza. Yes, we've talked about that. Yes. And so what is happening? As part of the relief effort, we are sending ships to Gaza to build a pier pier to build a pier let's listen to this so the united states uh is uh building uh these piers uh one reason it's doing it is it can pretend that

Starting point is 01:14:55 it can say we're not building the piers uh for uh israeli property owners to have yachts where we're going to deliver food but by the time we finish building the piers, there will be no more Gazans. I mean, that's the whole point. By building the piers, they've enabled Israel to prevent the food trucks from coming in from the south. So building the piers is a means of pretending to help without doing anything at all to help actually develop food to Israel. So, yes, all throughout the news, there have been statements by the Israeli real estate companies saying Gaza could have been a nice place to live if there weren't Arabs in it. And now, if we can clear the land of Arabs, make it a land without those people,

Starting point is 01:15:48 then this is a wonderful property. And it has natural gas to help the Israeli balance the payments. So the whole idea is to make this a center of Israel luxury development. You not only want beachfront property, you want docks for the buyers to have a place to tie up their yachts. Dude, this guy is so on it. And here's where Trump has a really big problem. Because he has a son-in-law who shoots his mouth off. Here's Jared Kushner.

Starting point is 01:16:18 And so my sense is, I would say, how do we deal with the terror threat that is there so that it cannot be a threat to Israel or to Egypt? Right. I think that both sides are spending a fortune on military. I think neither side really wants to have, you know, a terrorist organization enclaved right between them. And Gaza's waterfront property, it could be very valuable to if people would focus on kind of building up, you know, livelihoods. You think about all the money that's gone into this tunnel network and all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation. All right, Jared, well done. All right, we've got you. Yeah, that was a while ago.

Starting point is 01:16:50 We had that clip. I think we played it. Yeah. Oh, no, these are all clips we've played. Yeah, and it's like, yeah, he probably needs to show some restraint. Yes. Idiot.

Starting point is 01:17:04 As opposed to just yakking away like he does. Final clip from Dr. Hudson. That's assuming he was in on it, though. I mean, I just think he... Come on. This guy... He's... Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:17:16 The real estate son of a real estate guy that was so good at his job that he got thrown in jail. Well, there you go. Final clip from Dr. Hudsonson end game and this one really brought it all home so the question is uh what is how is gaza going to exist either it's going to be all israeli and the gazians will be forced to flee the the ideal what the israelis want them to flee by boats and to be sunk. Most of them will be sunk in the

Starting point is 01:17:48 Mediterranean, just like after America and France destroyed Libya. You mean Hillary Clinton? The Libyans tried to flee in boats, and they were sunk. So either they will drown, or they will somehow work their way into a prison camp that Egypt and its leader is setting up for Gazian refugees. And then the Gazians will somehow try to gain entry into Europe or other countries. So you can expect a huge influx of Gazians into Europe. Some people have suggested, well, now that Ukraine is turning into a land without a people, maybe either the Gazians can turn Ukraine over to the Palestinians, or we could give it to the Israelis, saying, well, this is your ancestral land. This is where all

Starting point is 01:18:46 of the pogroms that started Zionism began. Now you can go back and there are no more Ukrainians to have pogroms against you. Maybe the Israelis should go to Ukraine. One population or the other has to emigrate. And what did we see just two weeks ago with Queen Ursula? A controversial deal to inject cash into Egypt mired in its worst economic crisis in nearly 100 years. The European Union's 7.4 billion euro package includes 5 billion in concessional loans, 1.8 billion for investment and hundreds of million for bilateral projects like managing migration. The Egyptian president hailed what he called

Starting point is 01:19:30 a paradigm shift in his country's partnership with Brussels. And with that money, he's building prison camps. It's so clear now. It's like, and by the way, it's not Israel controlling us. Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, the entire State Department, we are a-holes. We're doing this. And it's been going on for a long time.

Starting point is 01:19:55 Project for New American Century, Bill Kristol, all these people. All of them. And I pray for Trump. I don't know where he is in all this. His son-in-law has got some issues. His whole thing is, let's drill in America. No wonder they hate him for that.

Starting point is 01:20:17 No wonder climate change is, oh no, less oil and gas from the West, everybody. No, no, you have to save the environment. Don't worry, we're going to get it all cheap from the West, everybody. No, no. You have to save the environment. Don't worry. We're going to get it all cheap from the Middle East. We're going to get it from those sand people.

Starting point is 01:20:33 It's horrible. Dumb sand people. Yes, dumb sand people. Sorry. Yeah, there is some. I can see the thinking that it's cheaper to get it from the Middle East, and we always have it here. to get it from the Middle East. And we can always have we always have it here. It's here. We got tons. And as Trump pointed out, we have more reserves pretty much than anyone.

Starting point is 01:20:57 And we have it's all over the place. North Dakota is loaded. And then if we really have to fall back into anything, we'll fall back under the sand tars in Alberta. But the Canadians are making a point out of making that, making a fuss about even talking about having that there as a backup. Now we have enough coal, and this is a well-known fact. It doesn't come up in the conversation much anymore. But we have enough coal reserves for 350 years of use at today's levels. So we're loaded with energy.

Starting point is 01:21:30 We're energy independent in some sense by nature. Yeah. And meanwhile, while this has been going on for decades, and of course we've seen a lot of it, you know, we all know 9-11 was, you know, it seemed to be just another reason to go in and score some oil and kick some people out who were being annoying. Some Arabs, they were no good. You just can't deny it. Just go look at George W. Bush's whole oil company. everything. It all fits together. And the center of this, okay, disproportionate number of Jews, but it's American Jews, okay? It's American Jews who are insane. This doesn't mean that it's all Jews who are doing this.

Starting point is 01:22:18 It's these insane people, neocons, and they're nuts, and they have to be stopped. But okay, this is what we get over here. Good luck. Yeah be stopped but okay this is what we get over here yeah good luck this is what we get over here protests continue on and around columbia campus tonight including a group of students still camped out on the university of lawn they are in solidarity with palestinians in gaza and are demanding the university divest from companies with ties to israel separated by a g fence, but united in the same cause. Protesters outside Columbia University returned Saturday to lend their support to the students on campus

Starting point is 01:22:54 who continue a sit-in with their sleeping bags and books. This is nothing compared to what people in Palestine are dealing with. People in Gaza, they are starving. They have lost everything. Their homes and their apartments have been bombed. So really, we feel like we have a moral obligation. Leila Saliba says she noticed something in the group taking part in the Gaza Solidarity encampment ever since police were called in by the university Thursday.

Starting point is 01:23:21 The mass arrests and the suppression of students, I would say that's galvanized us. The majority of protesters were charged with trespassing for refusing to leave the space in violation of school rules and suspensions were handed out. Here they are showing leadership and they are being censored and punished for it and it's wrong. Across the street from the protest, a small group of Jewish Columbia students stood by an Israeli flag, not able to speak with us on Shabbat,

Starting point is 01:23:50 but one man tells us twice he stopped people from tearing the flag down. So this is a struggle session. That's all that this is. Don't look at the White House. No, no, no, no. Don't look at us. No, no, no, no.

Starting point is 01:24:03 It's all the Zionists over there. They're doing it. No, no, no, no, no. Don't look at us. No, no, no, no. It's all the Zionists over there. They're doing it. No, no, no, no, no. Bill, you know what? This is funded by the same people. Let's go into the universities and get them to protest. It's great. Pay attention over there. Well, we're taking the oil. Yeah. We love the oil. We love the oil.

Starting point is 01:24:25 We love the oil and the Gaza gas. Hey, you can't spell Gaza without Gaz. Just saying. So it's pretty disgusting, but I'm glad I found this guy. And thank you. I think it was Andrew who sent me this. That was a nice. I'd like to hear the whole thing.

Starting point is 01:24:42 It's in the show notes. Yeah, it's about 45 minutes. It's pretty good. And yeah, you're right. You get a guy in his mid 80s and he's like. He doesn't care. They're going to tell you about aliens and secret meetings. Whatever you want to hear.

Starting point is 01:25:04 Whatever you want to hear. I got it. I got it. I'm sure it happened what are you thinking yeah i was there but the equated to the vietnam war is interesting because that uh yeah and the system's uh a fail by the way but you know yeah well there you go but if you go to v today, you can go visit yourself. It's a great place. And there's no hard feelings, it looks like to me. Yeah, 50 years later. There's no hard feelings.

Starting point is 01:25:34 It only took half a century. No hard feelings, everybody. We're all good. Hey, you sent Obama over here. That's great. He had some noodles. Had some noodles. Felt good.

Starting point is 01:25:43 Now, if you want to talk about 80-year-olds, I mean, you can have this guy, Dr. Hudson, or you can have our president. World leaders must choose their words wisely. They don't just speak for themselves. They speak for a nation. So the last thing you want is a gaffe

Starting point is 01:25:58 or an insult, or worse, both. But Joe Biden did not get the memo. This week, he visited a war memorial in Pennsylvania. It is dedicated to soldiers of World War II. Among them was Biden's uncle, Ambrose J. Finnegan. He died fighting in the Pacific region. As for how he died, we let his nephew tell the story.

Starting point is 01:26:19 He flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones. He got shot down in New Guinea. And they never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea. Took a wild turn, didn't it? Biden says his uncle was flying over the Pacific. His plane crashed in Papua New Guinea. And then cannibals ate him. Yeah. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:26:48 Yeah. I actually had that clip for a couple of shows ago that when he said it it was in one of his and he's like in one of his worst speeches because he's mumbling and he just can't get his thoughts together and he talks about the cannibals and I really liked it when I just like

Starting point is 01:27:04 Palki Sharma saying cannibals. I really liked it when, I just like Palky Sharma saying, No, I like the way she, her presentation's better than mine. Cannibals ate him. So good. Let's do a three by three on the KBS. Now it's time for three by three. Hey everybody.

Starting point is 01:27:20 Experiment by JCD. We got something going here. Comparing stories from ABC, CBS, and NBC. The NeverEnding Three by Three. All right, John. He's got the big headline story. He's got clips from every single one of the big three networks. What is this story?

Starting point is 01:27:38 This is about the not, this was a, all three networks covered this. Obviously, they were given marching orders to do so. Marching orders, yes, yes. And would I consider it to be a non-story? I wouldn't have covered it. I never mentioned it. I think we maybe in passing might have mentioned it, that some of the laggards in the Kennedy clan are turning on RFK Jr.

Starting point is 01:28:02 because they don't want him to take votes away from the fabulous Joe Biden, who they think is the greatest thing since sliced bread. And so they all covered it like it was major news when nobody in their, you know, most international news outlets, very few people covered it. But the mainstream media did. And let's start with ABC. Tonight in Pennsylvania, members of the Kennedy family, including brothers and sisters of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., throwing their support behind President Biden. Concerned, RFK Jr. will hand the White House back to Donald Trump. That's right. The Kennedy family endorses Joe Biden for president. The Kennedys worried RFK Jr. will use his family name to win support

Starting point is 01:28:46 from some Democrats in a tight race where every vote will count. We want to make crystal clear our feeling that the best way forward for America is to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years. Biden, who recently welcomed the family to the White House, has called RFK Jr.'s father his political hero. His bust sits in the Oval Office. RFK Jr., who has famously embraced conspiracy theories about vaccines, insists he's no spoiler. We know what President Trump and President Biden are going to do

Starting point is 01:29:23 if they win this election. They're going to do if they win this election. They're going to do exactly what they did before. Does anybody here want more of the same? President Biden would carry on the family legacy better, well aware that if people vote for RFK Jr. based on the family name, it could sway this race. And polling has shown that when his name is in the mix, it does make a difference. And tonight we have learned that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will now also be on the ballot in the key state of Michigan. I have to say something about this. Of course, I saw this. And this is one of those rare moments where video would have been helpful.

Starting point is 01:29:56 The Kennedy family look like they're inbred freaks. I mean, I think I think this is intentional. freaks. I mean... I think this is intentional. They... I mean... And then who's the... What spokesperson do they put up there

Starting point is 01:30:09 in this particular clip on... The one with the same voice as... The same bad voice. Yeah. Which makes you think it's some genetic thing. But behind her, to the left, the dude's just there with his mouth open, his teeth are like...

Starting point is 01:30:24 Like he's skeletal. No doubt that this was intentional. Yeah, to make it look like he's coming from a family of freaks. Well, if I can just say, that mouth on that guy on the left, and you have to go see it,

Starting point is 01:30:43 that, the way, and when he says, I have seen that type of mouth from politician type people, I have to say in my own family, but I have seen, and it's a creepy Washington DC face. There's something really uncanny about that.

Starting point is 01:31:02 There's some kind of inbreeding going on in political circles that we're not privy to. But it's apparent in the Kennedy clan. The offspring is weird. Yeah, they've lost it. They've lost the plot. They've lost the good genetics. So I'm thinking this is too...

Starting point is 01:31:21 Well, even if RFK had all these issues, he had some crazy disease and he had he was like his eyeballs were going every which way uh yeah same with ted ted was kind of the same thing with the eyeballs going every which way and i i met rfk in a rally and it seems like a nice guy i mean there's nothing wrong with that. He looks like, when you meet him in person, he's a robot. Or he was, he's dead.

Starting point is 01:31:50 But he was very robotic, weird, very strange, and his hair was like, seemed like a, the hair was like, it had some sort of a, kind of a Brillo pad type quality to it. It had a very strange looking.

Starting point is 01:32:09 Yeah, like the Crypt Keeper with those strands of hair, the really thick strands of hair on top of the skull just growing out of the skull. There's a lot of strands, but let's go to NBC. Hold on, just for analysis. Doesn't it seem to you like this is, you said it's intentional. It's intended not you know yeah vote for joe biden because otherwise you're gonna get one of us the freaks that's i don't think that was the intention i think the intention was to

Starting point is 01:32:36 to just draw more attention to rfk jr for the people that don't like Biden. And RFK himself is, who mentioned some positive things about Trump early on, now says Trump's a horrible guy because they want to make sure that he doesn't take votes away from Trump. Boom. I believe this is part of a master scheme. There you go.

Starting point is 01:33:00 It's just an element because no one's taking any chances that the Democrats and their machine are going to rig this election and get Biden in again. And I think that's what they're worried about. So what, they're worried about getting Biden in or not getting Biden in? No, they're worried about getting Biden in. Biden is still part of the Democrat machine that won the election against Trump. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:33:22 And that machine is in place and they have to make sure that it's disabled. Ah, yes, that's exactly. They're disabling that machine. If they can. But here we go with NBC. Today, with his opponents stuck in court, President Biden on the attack in Battleground, Pennsylvania. The campaign touting the endorsem*nt of 15 Kennedy family members, even though one of their own, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., is running against him as an independent.

Starting point is 01:33:50 The best way forward for America is to re-elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to four more years. Responding to his family's endorsem*nt of his opponent today rfk jr posted on social media we are divided in our opinions but united in our love for each other the environmental lawyer and anti-vaccine activists first ran as a democrat now kennedy's independent campaign is polling above 10 in a few key swing states where biden is also trailing trump democrats are aggressively attacking third-party candidates like Kennedy, whom they view as a threat to President Biden's re-election. People involved tell NBC News. Though it's not clear which candidate, President Biden or former President

Starting point is 01:34:35 Trump, would lose more votes to RFK Jr. Kennedy told NBC's Vaughn Hilliard this in February. I hope to draw equal numbers from both of them i think at this point i'm probably drawing more from president trump a source familiar with the biden campaign's planning says the kennedy family endorsem*nt was months in the making notably they didn't mention rfk jr's name once at today's event months in the making they had to prop them up so they could walk on stage. Zombies. It was bizarre. Let's go to our Intel agency's favorite station if they don't run it. CBS.

Starting point is 01:35:12 Fifteen members of the Kennedy family, a political dynasty, threw support behind President Biden instead of their own relative, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. relative Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Carrie Kennedy did not mention him by name, but she insisted the race is just between Biden and Donald Trump. A vote for Joe Biden is a vote for our democracy and our decency. RFK Jr. has sparked controversy with claims like vaccines cause autism in children, but his family's public endorsem*nt of Biden signals how seriously Democrats are taking his run. So far, Kennedy has secured a spot on the ballot in Utah and Michigan. The Kennedy campaign and its supporters claim they have enough signatures to appear on nearly a dozen other states, including key battlegrounds. Former Massachusetts Congressman Joe Kennedy II said he would encourage his brother to drop out. We cannot do anything that

Starting point is 01:36:14 in any way strips even one vote from President Biden. Today, Kennedy tweeted about his family's decision, saying, quote, I am pleased they are politically active. It's a family tradition. He added that they are divided in opinions, but united in their love for each other. Though there was clearly no love lost today in Philadelphia. Ooh, no love lost.

Starting point is 01:36:41 Hmm. Well, this is, uh, that was a freak show. I can't say it any other way. I just look like, was it a freak show? Yeah, I agree. It was a freak show. It was just this one. And Joe Kennedy III, whoever that last guy was on CBS,

Starting point is 01:36:57 I saw that one too, was freaky, very freaky. They're all freaky. It's like the whole family has gone downhill. So this is where I would have inserted the Taylor Swift news because that dominates the headlines.

Starting point is 01:37:14 Oh, Taylor dropped it right on time. She didn't just drop one album, she dropped a double album with a new video coming out. Pay no attention to the military-industrial complex. attention to the military industrial complex. After we just gave the military industrial complex $900 billion that we do not have, for what we do not know, it wasn't enough.

Starting point is 01:37:41 Tonight, with the Speaker's job on the line, the House passing a massive $95 billion foreign aid package with long-sought assistance for Israel and Ukraine. Inside the package of four bills, $60 billion in aid for Ukraine, $26 billion to Israel, and $8 billion for Taiwan. Legislation to force a sale of TikTok from its Chinese parent company also included. A major gamble by Speaker Mike Johnson, who's held up the aid for months and needed Democrats to get the legislation over the finish line, angering Republican hardliners. Mike Johnson is a lame duck. He's done. He's done. You do the right thing and you let the chips fall where they may.

Starting point is 01:38:22 Do you believe you will still be the speaker come November? Yes. Yes, absolutely, without question. Yes. Two other Republicans now joining Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene's movement to boot Johnson from his speakership. Hardliners claiming Johnson betrayed them by not focusing on border security, despite Republicans rejecting a bipartisan border bill from the Senate after bowing to pressure from former President Trump. What we're worried about is the signal we're sending to Americans and to send $100 billion overseas without reinforcing our own borders.

Starting point is 01:38:55 And Democrats now signaling they're open to backing the embattled speaker if Greene makes good on her threat to call a vote for his removal. I commended by name traditional conservatives led by Speaker Mike Johnson for doing the right thing. Even former Speaker Nancy Pelosi telling me she's pleased with Johnson's push for Ukraine aid. Do you think you can trust the speaker? Well, so far it looks that way. So missing from this report is 26 additional billion for the military industrial complex just thinking it's like yeah we got some for taiwan we got some for ukraine we got some from israel they throw some 26 billion bucks my way just a little tip give me an extra tip it's theft they're stealing all of this every single bit is it's just it's and i'm sure mike johnson is a dope he's not in on he's not read in or maybe though well i i have four clips

Starting point is 01:39:53 on this and i think good uh mike johnson uh well i mean we've talked about this as possible that he has a uh some intel skeleton in the closet. Intel issue. And somebody, you know, basically went and said, we're going to do this or that. But I found some old pictures. I was doing a little research and found some old pictures when he was in college. He has, I don't know, my

Starting point is 01:40:19 gaydar went off. You have gaydar? Well, I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area. I pretty much have to. It's not as good as my pal at the old tech TV who was just the guy. He was the go-to guy. But I don't have the contact with him anymore. You have this for self-preservation in the Bay Area is what you're saying.

Starting point is 01:40:43 Be careful. There's a million jokes you can go with. Yeah, I know. Let's go with more Ukraine money. Thousands of representatives passed a $95 billion foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. And Pierce Deirdre Walsh reports on the overwhelmingly bipartisan vote. Action on the assistance package for key U.S. allies was stalled for months in the House because of Republican divisions over sending more money to Ukraine. The legislation includes $60 billion for Ukraine, $26 billion for Israel, and $8 billion for Taiwan. House Speaker Mike

Starting point is 01:41:18 Johnson, who voted against aid to Ukraine before he was elected Speaker, said he believed the intelligence about a wider conflict in the region if the U.S. failed to support its ally in its war against Russia. It's an old military adage, but we would rather send bullets to the conflict overseas than our own boys, our troops. The package also includes a measure to force TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company within a year or face a ban in the U.S. The Senate will vote as early on Tuesday on the legislation.

Starting point is 01:41:50 Spoken like a true Christian. Send them bullets. Kill them. Kill them. Kill them. Send them bullets. I know I found that disturbing too. Disturbing.

Starting point is 01:42:00 Disturbing. Very disturbing. So the rest of these clips, there's three more. There's different reports. These are all from npr a national treasure that's a bunch of democrats and we're probably getting some of this money through cut out non-profits yes and so but but these clips are all discrepant they come from here and they come from there and it's not it's not a complete it's not from one presentation. It's from a bunch of them.

Starting point is 01:42:27 And so you get some funny stuff in here. And so this is part two. After GOP division stalled action for months, the House of Representatives today approved a foreign aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. House Foreign Affairs Chairman Michael McCaul, a Republican and vocal supporter of aid to Ukraine, and warmonger extraordinaire, argued before the final vote that his party had a choice. So as we deliberate on this vote, you have to ask yourself the question,

Starting point is 01:42:57 am I Chamberlain or am I Churchill? Wow. Wow. That's what I thought. Wow. What an a-hole man oh man hey how about fixing the homeless problem how about fixing you know john's potholes how about fixing anything y'all oh saturday it's saturday you know what they got to make room for the Gazans. We got to get it all done. So here we go. Here's another one. Disgusting.

Starting point is 01:43:33 Chamberlain. Are you Chamberlain or Churchill? Wow. I knew you'd love that one. Let's go with clip three. In the lead up to that aid package passing the House, Ukraine's Prime Minister, Denis Shmehal, was in the U.S. passing the House, Ukraine's Prime Minister, Denis Shmehal, was in the U.S. He was meeting with members of Congress and officials in the Biden administration to make the case for more aid to Ukraine, which he says is critical for their war effort. The Prime Minister took time to visit our DC studios, and I asked him what he'd tell Americans who are skeptical of sending more aid to Ukraine. If we just imagine that Ukraine lost this war, then it will mean that world global order is destroyed.

Starting point is 01:44:10 And all of us on this planet will be under threat that many kind of aggressions will emerge all around the planet. How about the aggression just being perpetrated upon the American people right now by not helping us and by the way what he what he expressed there was the domino theory yes of the the communists from vietnam going throwing doing a little call back there to your earlier clips yep uh this is bull crap but okay it gets worse is this the This is the last clip. It's the same guy who's the Zelensky clone

Starting point is 01:44:48 that's the prime minister, or whatever he is, president. He's the guy floating around. But if you want to hear a bullsh*t artist, listen to this carefully. The Pentagon's office of the inspector general issued a report earlier this year.

Starting point is 01:45:04 They have a report? How about an audit? Just saying. But I'm glad you stopped it there because I can say, note the structure of the question. The Pentagon said the following, and here we go. The Pentagon's Office of the Inspector General issued a report earlier this year and it said that there are nearly 40,000 weapons that were provided to Ukraine, but have not been accounted for. Will there be any improvement on how those weapons are accounted for and tracked so we know where they are? According to my information, all what United States supply

Starting point is 01:45:40 to Ukraine is absolutely clearly accounted, and we cooperate with inspectors generals from Ministry of Defense, from Department of State, from USAID. I personally have met them two times and we have regular communication with inspector generals and they never communicate about any problems with accountability and transparency of using of united states equipment or weaponry so we pay special attention to questions of accountability so you've never heard that like they've been like hey we don't know where these guys are no No, no. Shut up. Sometimes they told about this, but we shouldn't forget that we are under influence of Russian propaganda, Russian disinformation. Oh, yes, of course. And they especially implement these messages that Ukrainians are using weaponry not in proper way.

Starting point is 01:46:42 They are selling this weaponry and so on so on so because of this we cooperate with uh our partners very closely and we are very accountable for this to destroy this propaganda and this lie from the russia side okay yes i believe him he's a whole lot yeah yeah it goes like this the pentagon why is this follow-up where's our npr follow-up the pentagon said this, not the Russians. The Pentagon said this. And he says, oh, it's Russian disinformation. Coming from the Pentagon, is that the argument he's making? I'm sorry.

Starting point is 01:47:18 How does this bull crap get as far as it does? And NPR just drops the ball. It's the Pentagon, not the russians which means it wasn't 40 000 but 400 000 we're being ripped off oh yeah we are being ripped off and here's the recipient of 62 of this billion of this rip off so ukraine has finally got its wish the 61 billion dollar military aid package from the United States that President Zelensky so desperately wanted. Following months of delays by Republicans in the House of Representatives, the House has now finally agreed the aid. The bill now goes to the Senate and then

Starting point is 01:47:57 President Biden. Can it make any difference on the battlefield? President Zelensky seems to think so. field. President Zelensky seems to think so. Today, we received the decision we expected, the package of American support that we fought so hard for. And it's a very significant package that will be felt by our soldiers on the front line, as well as by our towns and villages that are suffering from Russian terror. Today, the U.S. House of Representatives voted. Thank you to everyone for helping to save lives. The delay in agreeing an aid package has allowed the Russian military to advance further into Ukrainian territory. And isn't it just interesting that one week after I sent my check into the U.S. Treasury, that they turn around and give it away to themselves? I'm very, you know, and again, not one of these reports mentions the extra $25, $26 billion to replenish stocks, whatever.

Starting point is 01:49:01 Yeah, we gave away so much, we need to, you know that that's literally a ripoff that is stolen money the champagne must be flowing all over washington dc yeah all over lockheed boeing too over here down the peninsula also not mentioned that the senate passed the uh section 702 reauthorization including i have a clip oh thank thank you. Thank you. Give me the clip. I couldn't find one. FISA signed. Here you go. President Biden has signed the bill to reauthorize the federal government's electronic surveillance program into law.

Starting point is 01:49:39 The Senate approved a two-year extension early this morning, down from five-year extension, less than an hour after the law expired. The controversial law grants the government broad powers to conduct certain warrantless surveillance of Americans as part of anti-terrorism efforts. The Biden administration and top leaders in both parties say Congress, say that that authority is critical to national security. that say that that authority is critical to national security. When he was president, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump reauthorized FISA. Now he opposes it. So not only a reauthorization, a warrantless reauthorization,

Starting point is 01:50:20 and an additional amendment not discussed by your media that makes every single supplier of cable box communications device has to by law allow the security and intel services uh into their system or has to hand over any information they request it's called the everyone's a spy bill and we laughed about Russia. I mean, so anything you have, your vacuum cleaner, you got a Roomba, ha, map of your house, now with the NSA. This is, we are now living in Soviet times. And then, of course, we didn't steal enough. We're stealing $100 billion from these saps, these stupid America. It's indecent.

Starting point is 01:51:07 You know what these people are? They're indecent. They're indecent. They let, they open our borders. It's just indecency and it's evil. I mean, they're controlled by Satan and it's,

Starting point is 01:51:18 yeah. And it's, I mean that, and it's not enough. Well, it's definitely a communist plot. It's Satan. And it's not an, look, every a communist plot you say to him and it's not an

Starting point is 01:51:25 look every as bob dylan said everybody serves somebody you know that song bob dylan call back call back to bob call back yes a call back to taylor swift actually but that wasn't enough no no let's steal steal TikTok, too. In the U.S., lawmakers have also passed a bill which could lead to a ban on TikTok. The bipartisan legislation forces the popular social media platform to divest itself from its Chinese parent company ByteDance or face a nationwide ban. The bill gives TikTok one year to sell its stake to a u.s based entity lawmakers in both parties have raised national security and data privacy concerns supporters of tiktok question the constitutionality of the bill the popular video app has an estimated 170 million users in the u.s alone oh this is so dynamite the money money, the champagne, it's caviar now. Hey, Google, where's my money?

Starting point is 01:52:28 Where's my hookers and blow? Because I did it for you. Oh, yeah, we're stealing all that too. Very successful. I like to, this is, I think, a good, I think people should know this is a good way of putting it. Stealing TikTok. It's super successful.

Starting point is 01:52:46 It's got nothing to do with anything if anything it doesn't gather enough data in terms of like spying on americans so but it's money maker it's a killer let's steal it let's do the america we can't compete no no what and you can't compete look we get we we tried. We gave it a shot. We tried to compete. We even invented a pre, you know, proto TikTok back in the day called Twigs or whatever the hell it was. Fine. Twigs.

Starting point is 01:53:13 Twigs. Twigs. Oh, man. It's a new video service by the No Agenda Show. Twigs. Everybody. Hey, did you post a twig? Yeah, I posted a twig.

Starting point is 01:53:24 I posted a twig i posted a twig and a branch and so uh it has a bud and so uh we tried it and it was that no one knew what they were doing these guys come along they're successful we try to compete on the other way okay well now we know how to do it right we can't do do it. Nobody can compete. So in the good old American way of free enterprise, we can't compete. Let's steal it. So, and I just want to break this down for one second, because we have insiders who have explained to me why TikTok is so successful. Because it is an advertising bonanza, and here's how it works. an it is an advertising bonanza and here's how it works when you become a tiktok creator which i despise there's only one creator and it's not on tiktok so when you're yeah yeah hey let me say

Starting point is 01:54:14 what i want to say if you're bored of me bored what kind of what kind of sentence is that because you went yeah yeah yeah yeah but you don't like me saying that? No, I think it's fine. It's just that, you know, you're making a point and then you bring religion into it for no real reason except a virtue signal. No, there is a reason. It's not a virtue signal. There's a reason that it's called creator because they want you to worship false idols. I think it's very intentional. That's why reason that it's called creator because they want you to worship false idols. I think it's very intentional.

Starting point is 01:54:47 That's why I say, I'll go with that. Okay. I think you, you might have be honest on it, but you need a little more evidence. Cause it's been, that term has been,

Starting point is 01:54:56 you know, the creative tie. I've never liked it. I've been before I was a Jesus freak. I didn't never liked it. Yeah, I agree. What is it?

Starting point is 01:55:03 I think it has a pretense, a pretense. that's slightly annoying. Okay. So I'd never have to mention it again. Right. So they take these TikTokers. They have ads and they have a whole back-end system with a leaderboard and they show which tiktokers have been successful at getting ads triggered by their tiktok so they'll say okay up for bid is ozempic that's the easiest one ozempic here's the trigger words that we're going to give you there may be a few more

Starting point is 01:55:40 if you put these into your tiktok we will actually promote that. We'll heat you. We'll heat up your TikTok and that will trigger ads and you start to make money. So they have an entire competition going on with a leaderboard. Who's the top? So everyone's looking at everybody else. Oh, what did you do here? Okay. What trigger words did you use so they have created this ad machine which is of course completely abusive of these poor people because you can't just do one no you've got to do five a day and every product has this so and they're not disclosing it they're not disclosing because they're not really saying go buy biozempic some do and there's a lot of gray area there but that's the system that tick tock has has built and they have really

Starting point is 01:56:31 figured out how to manipulate the algorithms to send it to the people that need it the most at that very moment and and that is the opposite of what the algorithms within Facebook and all these other things do. So they, and the create, I said it, the TikTokers are all there. They're not on reels and they're not on any, and they're not on YouTube shorts and shorts. It's a bonanza. So steal it, steal it. First of all, if I'm not mistaken, Jill Abramson, our girl with the vocal five, she, when she was at the New York Times and in her book, she discussed this kind of thing where,

Starting point is 01:57:20 and I think BuzzFeed was the first to perfect it, where they had these leaderboards on what was getting attention. It wasn't about what was triggering ad clicks, but what was triggering clicks. In other words, what is it called when you try to trick somebody into clicking on something? Clickbait?

Starting point is 01:57:41 Clickbait. And they had a clickbait board, and so they were rejiggering the way they do headlines and everything else in new york times and other places but it wasn't it wasn't so so it wasn't this they took it to the next level at tiktok yeah and they did and they did a beautiful job of it i you have to compliment them oh no you got to steal it from them that's what we do yeah right compliment and then steal it from them yeah just steal it just we'll steal it or you're shut down uh you know obviously sorry by the way this is the worst so yes play please play her i'm sorry i

Starting point is 01:58:18 read the new york times like all day long uh mainly on my ipad app so now let's go to china because i think there's a couple of things going on remember that we really need to pivot to some really big war stuff i'm just i mean now it's just i see where the money's going all our money's going to military president eisenhower warned us for it they probably killed killed JFK over it. Who knows? You know, the CIA goes in, makes a, you know, creates problems in a country. Then we need to get the military in. But, you know, Ukraine is done. There's nothing left. There's no people left. There's nobody left to shoot bullets anymore. By the way, that's not genocide. And it's over. Mike Johnson put his butt on the line. He'll never get reelected. We'll see. Poor guy, done, you fool. Whatever his problem was, they got to him. huge ships beautiful subs and we need to rearm the bases in the indo-pacific this is where all the big money is so we've got to start ramping up china so i think the tiktok's theft is part of it

Starting point is 01:59:34 it'll certainly irk china once that completes has to happen within a year and as part as part of the deal they have to within three months of the signing and approval of the bill we're not quite there yet um they have to make all of their stuff exportable so it can be easily imported into google into youtube youtube shorts or into reels or both whatever shorts yeah that's part that's part of this legislation every time i hear that i think of underwear youtube shorts yeah i mean it's it's stupid it's also stupid stupid um so first we've got to uh uh start we got to start rattling the cage here's the bbc china's president xi jinping has appeared at a ceremony in beijing is to bolster china's capacity to fight and win wars the move comes weeks after western countries including the u.s and britain accused the communist state of cyber espionage okay so that's the setup and i i am still all in that the U.S. and China are playing together.

Starting point is 02:00:45 Hey, I got a great idea. We both need to print money. We all want to steal stuff, certainly from our people. So why don't we rattle some sabers? Oh, here's my cyber. Here's my cyber force. Oh, and just right on cue. Breaking this afternoon, Honolulu police reporting a brief 911 outage in the city.

Starting point is 02:01:06 Coming after more outages Wednesday night on the mainland. You may have difficulty reaching us internally. We're having difficulty receiving 911 calls as well. 6 p.m. Central Time, multiple 911 centers suddenly cut off in parts of four states. South Dakota, Nebraska, Nevada, and Texas. Several call centers pushed out emergency alerts, telling locals to use their cell phones or text for help. To our knowledge, we have never experienced an outage of this magnitude or duration. U.S. cybersecurity has warned that hackers want to exploit vulnerabilities to

Starting point is 02:01:41 disrupt or degrade 911 service. At risk, sensitive data that could affect emergency responsibilities. Was anybody injured? Already, ransomware attacks on 9-1-1 centers, including Bucks County, Pennsylvania, have forced dispatchers to revert to manual systems. In 2017, 9-1-1 centers in more than a dozen states were paralyzed. Now, amid heightened global tensions and a divisive election looming here at home, concern that critical emergency communications can easily be undermined. Chris Krebs is the federal government's former cybersecurity chief. The homeland, as we say, is no longer a sanctuary. So we really have to bake in cybersecurity resilience measures into every business plan, into every operational plan.

Starting point is 02:02:28 Ah, beautiful, beautiful. Cyber rattling is what it is now. That was better than saber rattling is cyber. I do. The Russians have currently have been doing this in Ukraine. Supposedly have a clip, but you don't play it. I rather rather mention this. I want to stick on China because I have two NPR clips now.

Starting point is 02:02:46 I just like this harem-scarum kind of reporting. Oh, yeah. I'm flipping around. This is just an aside. I'm flipping around, so I go to story television. All this stuff over the air is fantastic. But over-the-air stuff, they play old stuff. I mean, that Leonard Nimoy thing that we played on the last show is being played as we speak.

Starting point is 02:03:09 They're still throwing it out there? So I clicked around, and there's an Armageddon story, because they're just killing airtime. They have all these channels. And it was about 2012. Do you remember the 2012 bull crap with the Mayan calendar and the world's going to end on January? We had a challenge coin. Yeah, we did. That's right. We had the challenge coin with the Mayan guys on it. Yeah, sure.

Starting point is 02:03:37 And I'm watching this. It was an hour. I've got to go back. I'm going to have to find somebody's it's got to be downloadable somewhere and get some clips from it because it is so ludicrous to listen to these guys go on and on and on and i think this was produced like in 2011 so it was a year before the 2012 apocalypse and it was just like a head shaker yeah do you remember the other big story of 2012? The big, big PSYOP? What? Kony 2012. Oh, that's right. Yeah, that guy was 2012. Yeah, that crazy story.

Starting point is 02:04:13 I mean, this is almost laughable. So how do we pivot to Indo-Pacific? How do we get to China? Well, let's pivot through iran there's a global diplomatic push to try to avert a broad regional war in the middle east following iran's attack on israel last weekend as israel weighs a possible response as part of that push the u.s is reaching out to china hoping beijing will use its influence on tehran. But it's unclear how far China is willing to go, especially now, because today the Biden administration announced it wants to triple tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminum imports.

Starting point is 02:04:55 NPR international affairs correspondent Jackie Northam joins us now to discuss. Good morning, Jackie. Good morning, Laila. Good morning. Why China? What sort of influence does it have with Tehran? Well, it's one of the largest countries that has some sway with Iran. You know, they're natural bedfellows in their opposition to the U.S. But, you know, Beijing also offers Tehran diplomatic support and certainly an economic lifeline.

Starting point is 02:05:18 You know, it's really the only country buying Iranian oil. So they do have this strong, if mostly transactional, relationship. Bullsh*t. No, this is all complete horse crap, but this is the new narrative. Oh, it's really China who's doing it. So if the U.S. is hoping for China's help in this moment to pressure Iran, which is warning it would respond harshly to any possible response from Israel, why make the decision to triple tariffs now?

Starting point is 02:05:44 It's hard to say. It's an election year. It could help the U.S. steel industry. You know, the timing is interesting if the U.S. is looking for China's help. There have been moments when China has stepped out, you know, it helped broker a deal to reestablish relations with Saudi Arabia and Iran. And at that time, there were indications Beijing wanted to position itself as a critical player in the region. Okay, so we've seen China play a really important role in the region, as you point out. Does that continue today? Would Beijing be willing in this moment, with fears of all-out regional war, to intervene with Iran? Well, that's a hope. I mean, several analysts I spoke with said there have been times when, you know, Beijing could have used its influence in the region,

Starting point is 02:06:23 and it didn't. You know, there were calls recently for china to exert pressure on iran to rein in the houthis and their attacks on shipping vessels in the red sea didn't happen yeah that was another thing that the professor hudson was talking about he's like the worst thing that can happen is that an oil tanker is sunk in the Gulf of Aden. That will ruin Biden's entire election chances because that will, of course, skyrocket oil, even though nothing has really happened. Isn't it like 90 bucks now? It has gone up a bit. You would know better than I do. Last time I looked, it was in the 80s, but let me take a quick look. It's 82.11, so it's not that high. Oh, so it's not that high at all.

Starting point is 02:07:07 Well, it's high, but it's not, you know, it should be in the 60s, but 82-11. So my eye is on this connecting, because, of course, we have the bricks, which is really the irony of all this, the irony of what we're doing in the Middle East. Oh, yeah, the bricks, yeah. That's something I personally think we don't talk enough about on the show. Well, because the media is very wary to discuss it. Because, you know, if you really look at it now,

Starting point is 02:07:35 that Saudi Arabia, Egypt, they've all joined the BRICS. Now, it's not going to happen overnight that they're going to have some magic alternative reserve currency. But it is hurting our petrodollar system. In fact, listen to this. Russia, this has worked out so well. Russia's economy is growing faster than all advanced economies, according to the IMF. And Bloomberg reports Russia's oil exports have hit an 11 month high well done everybody this

Starting point is 02:08:07 is good you're doing a good job and nobody wants to talk about that no then we have boeing melting down and uh a lot of boots on the ground reports uh most of them say that you know when when they moved the uh the op the the building to south car, it was non-union, and that this is probably a push to bring Boeing back into the unions. But here's Sir Viper, 515, he says, I've been a professional pilot for 30 years, helicopter and airplanes i think you and john got so close but so far from why boeing is in the crosshairs of the m5m and government i am certain it is because the south carolina plant is non-union dems want good paying union jobs for people not not in the industry the kinds of problems reported of boeing happen to every manufacturer except maybe for the

Starting point is 02:09:05 door plug blowout when i flew for an airline they had an engine cowling not a boeing product fall off in flight landing in someone's backyard i fly private now and things fail i picked up a brand new mid-sized business jet from the factory we had five aircraft on ground which is used to prioritize part delivery because the plane can't fly without getting fixed in one year i know of a plane that came out of sir out of a service center with a bolt in the emergency exit door making it unusable stuff happens aircraft are much more complicated than cars they go through tremendous temperature changes every flight and have forces applied to them from every direction and then he winds up by saying don't get me started on helicopters yeah gotcha um and then we have the 787 was an attempt to this is different boots on the ground was an attempt to offshore parts to be assembled in the u.s the reason lower costs and bypass the union

Starting point is 02:10:00 dominated pacific northwest assembly team To get the parts cheaper, international fabrication operations would tool wings and fuselages all to be Lego'd together. To avoid the costly Pacific Northwest unionized and senior assemblers, the South Carolina factor was built. Hey, let's just get some hillbillies to assemble the Legos

Starting point is 02:10:19 coming in from all over the world. So, you know, it's the aviation industry sees what's going on. I'm all in on this analysis. Yes, I think it's completely right. And especially, I don't think I have a clip, I thought I did, of this huge celebration

Starting point is 02:10:37 that the UAW just did because they got, I think it's in North Carolina, I think is where this plant is, a Volkswagen factory, first overseas manufacturer of cars. All the car makers moved there, put shops in South Carolina, North Carolina, those areas. And they got union. The union, the UAW, got in on the Volkswagen plant, which would be interesting to see how that goes and now they think they have a strength or they have a foothold

Starting point is 02:11:05 or a some place with a starting point in the south to unionize these auto companies yeah so the unions are making it inroads and it's like uh uh i don't know totally what to make of it but uh it's gonna everyone's gonna going to be unionized down there as you'd expect. Something that the algos are telling me to be very worried about that I don't have any clips from. But oh, my goodness. Are the controlled opportunists yelling and screaming about Title IX? Do you have a clip about Title IX? Because I couldn't get one.

Starting point is 02:11:42 No, I know. It's funny because I should have because I've been following it closely. But it's all because of Biden's recent proclamation that sex is gender and so you can be whatever you want. And it wasn't about Biden, but it was a policy statement that came out of the White House. And it's like, okay, that means Title IX is useless. Because Title IX was the provision out of the white house and it's like okay that means title nine's useless because title title

Starting point is 02:12:05 nine was the was the provision to give female athletes mainly uh some some mechanism to to be get as much money or to get as many scholarships or to try to keep them uh you know vibrant in in college athletes athletics i'm sorry and uh it's now pretty well they've rewritten it so that they they have actually rewritten title nine to change sex to gender say so therefore allowing uh biological men to compete in women's sports be in their dressing rooms etc etc um and you know tina who's my canary in the coal mine, a lot of like Megyn Kelly, she's like, Megyn Kelly was hot on this,

Starting point is 02:12:50 you know, hair on fire, algos all flipping out. Oh, wow. Everybody look at this. And what they fail to mention is that this can all be done away with Chevron deference, which will come up in our lifetime because this is just a rule written by the Department of...

Starting point is 02:13:06 Not enough this year. I hope so. The Department of Education just writes this rule. Like, oh, we're just going to change it to gender. I mean, Congress, it's their response. They really need to write the law. And, you know, they need to step in. They're too busy stealing TikTok.

Starting point is 02:13:26 Hey, we've got a TikTok stealing party going on here. Caviar! But that's what needs to happen. And Chevron deference will force Congress to take these matters into account. Yeah, they're degenerates. Yeah, I don't have any clips on title 9 there's a lot of complaining I can say that

Starting point is 02:13:50 of course it's horrible for women but you know there's no more it is horrible for women they have a right to complain women don't yeah we don't have a right to complain maybe that's why there's no clips women get us some clips need to do some climate change uh because there is stuff happening here and this is a call back to the uh whatever you do let's not do any oil here

Starting point is 02:14:13 in america the biden administration today finalizing a plan to prevent oil development across more than half the u.s government's mammoth petroleum reserve in alaska this move is among a string of actions by President Biden to curtail development on federal lands and wall off more than 41 million acres for conservation. It comes as Biden seeks to gain support from young climate-minded voters after disappointing some last year by authorizing ConocoPhillips' massive willow oil project. The administration is also moving to block road construction essential to opening a copper mine in the state the moves have drawn condemnation from oil gas and mining

Starting point is 02:14:51 interests who said the biden administration is locking up resources essential for fueling america's energy needs today and in the future that includes they say critical minerals for batteries and other technology yeah i'm just looking at this in a whole new light now. It's just, no. We are all on the Middle East oil train. And that's ultimately what Russia's about. These kooks, they want Russia. They don't care about Putin.

Starting point is 02:15:20 They want Russia's oil and gas. That's what they're after. That's why they hate Putin. Putin's the one that kicked him out after the wall came down. You had that drunk guy running the show. Everybody, Browder, this is what Browder, this is what it was all about.

Starting point is 02:15:36 Everyone was in there like, hey, this is great. We're raping Russia. We're getting all their gas. This is fantastic. Putin comes in and says, nyet. That's why they're mad at him i don't think even it's not ideological they just say hey hey we were taking that it's just thieving and elon musk is in on all this with the stupid stupid tesla that we all fell for it's a computer on wheels it's still still falling for it. Are you kidding?

Starting point is 02:16:06 Yeah, but it's getting, I mean, now he's like, oh, I'm going to lower the price $2,000, everybody. Come on, buy my battery cars. It's great. You don't need oil over here. The rest of the world can have it. We'll steal all that oil. You plug in your car. Hey, bought a Cybertruck?

Starting point is 02:16:22 Elon Musk car company Tesla has issued a recall for all of its Cybertruck? Elon Musk car company Tesla has issued a recall for all of its Cybertruck electric pickup trucks because its accelerator pedal can apparently get stuck down. Cybertruck owners reported that the pad covering the accelerator pedal could come loose and get trapped by the vehicle's

Starting point is 02:16:37 trim. That causes the truck to accelerate unintentionally, raising the risk of a crash. The Cybertruck is Musk's latest brainchild, being released just five months ago after repeated delays. Well, for more on this, I'm now joined in the studio by DW reporter Ben Dorman. So, Ben, this sounds like a pretty serious issue. What exactly is behind it?

Starting point is 02:16:58 Well, according to Tesla, it all comes down to soap. So what's been happening is that employees working in the factories making this truck have been using soap as lubricant to kind of get this pedal pad jammed on when they shouldn't be. And the reason they shouldn't be is because that's been leaving behind a soapy residue. And it's that residue that's causing this pad to slip off the accelerator entirely,

Starting point is 02:17:19 which gets stuck, which is causing these problems. And you have to bear in mind here, we're talking about a truck that weighs over three tonnes, that Elon Musk and Tesla are very proud. It can go from zero to 100 kilometers per hour in under three seconds. So if you're behind the wheel and this gets stuck, you might have very little time to act.

Starting point is 02:17:34 Now, Tesla is very keen to point out that if you slam on the brakes at the same time as this problem, you will stop the engine. They'll be okay. However, clearly they're acknowledging this is a very serious issue because as you said,

Starting point is 02:17:47 they're recalling absolutely every one of these trucks that have rolled off the production line since november they're saying to customers you've got to bring them back we need to fix this and i'd love this it's lubricant so the the big joke is we're all focused on battery cars but without oil no life you. You know, you got nothing. You have, look around your house. Where's plastic? I mean, without oil. Paint, paint, plastic. Plastic, clothing, every food, medication. A lot of medication, yeah.

Starting point is 02:18:18 Everything needs oil. The transportation is just a part of it. But we're being told we need to drive electric vehicles. And just to jam it all home, remember, no oil. They're taking all our... Not only are we... They're just... I'm so disappointed in our government.

Starting point is 02:18:39 They hate us. Our government hates us. Breaking. I don't think so. I think they don't us. Breaking. I don't think so. I think they don't care. Oh, okay. There's a thin line between not caring and hating. I don't think it's hate.

Starting point is 02:18:54 Some really do. Hillary Clinton hates us. She's not in government anymore. Jennifer Granholm, that is our energy secretary. You can always tell it's her because it looks like she has two saucers on the side of her head as her ears. And she was on The View to, of course, promote climate change. Department of Energy, we are a science entity, and we've got 17 national labs, and we're all focused on how do you extend the range of the vehicles.

Starting point is 02:19:21 So now when you buy an electric vehicle, most electric vehicles can go between 150, 300 miles, but they're working up to 500 miles, so they need fewer times. Listen to the ladies. Oh, yeah. But they're working up to 500 miles, so they need fewer times to charge.

Starting point is 02:19:39 If you're an Uber driver and you have to refill your gas... Hey, by the way, if all you've got is an Uber driver, because that's your job of the future, well, you. You know, if you're an Uber driver and you have to refill your gas tank all the time. Oh, no. On average, you go about 200 miles a day. I mean, that's a huge savings for folks. That is.

Starting point is 02:19:59 So anyway, that's one of the ways you can reduce. Is she nuts? Rhetorical. Is she nuts? The Uber car will go 300 miles and the fill-up takes about how long, you think? Five minutes, maybe. Maybe ten at the most, as opposed to waiting for hours.

Starting point is 02:20:16 In line? Yeah, you may have to wait in line for hours before you get to the charger, which takes hours. Yeah, but it's so much more cost-effective. You may have to wait in line for hours before you get to the charger, which takes hours. Yeah. I mean, but it's so much more cost effective. People like this are... Evil.

Starting point is 02:20:31 People like this really should be shot. Oh, you might want to take that back. Okay, they shouldn't be shot. They should be hung. People like this should be hung. Upside down. Huge savings for folks. That is.

Starting point is 02:20:45 So anyway, that's one of the ways you can reduce your bills and reduce your carbon pollution. How much more evidence? Carbon pollution. Notice, it's no longer carbon dioxide. I'm just going to keep hammering on that. It's now just carbon pollution. What do these people need when they see what goes on with hurricanes, et cetera? How do we convince these people to start believing the truth?

Starting point is 02:21:08 Yeah, totally, Joy. I think she's talking about us, John, these people. It's a version of fake news, right? People are believing things that are not accurate. For anybody who cares about this, we have a section on our website at energy.gov called Malarkey Corner, which debunks a lot of this stuff for the past 10 years it has been every year a record year of heat right right oh yeah right

Starting point is 02:21:33 right right uh wow malarkey corner there's some marketing um let's see now she talks about what the president has done i'm going to the site by the way looking for malarkey corner okay you go take a look you're seeing it globally the costs of cleaning up after all these extreme weather events taxpayers are having to pay for that and people are starting to experience but you know here's my good news about this you know we're all so cynical about politics etc but yeah but under you know the president had these bills that were passed and Lord knows, policy actually works

Starting point is 02:22:07 because what we are seeing is all of these factories being built across America, hiring young people in red states, in blue states. Young people who are illegally here. To be able to build the means

Starting point is 02:22:21 to reduce our climate pollution, like whether they're solar panel factories or EV factories or battery factories for those EVs. We've had, you know, I've come from Michigan. I was the former governor of Michigan. We saw so many jobs leave, so much offshoring, you know, of jobs and communities that are devastated by a factory going somewhere else. Car factories, right? Exactly. Car factories. But this was true in manufacturing all across.

Starting point is 02:22:46 Because, you know, we have economic competitors like China who have a strategic plan to go and get and build up their manufacturing sector. But what the president is doing is that. Blah, blah, blah, blah. We're not going to. Hold on. I hear the laugh till. Hold on. I hear the laugh till here.

Starting point is 02:22:57 Competitors like China who have a strategic plan to go and get and build up their manufacturing sector. But what the president is doing is that. We're not going to do that anymore. Well, laugh till. Well, the president has done something up their manufacturing sector. But what the president has done is that we're not going to do that anymore. Well, left, so. The president has done something. Their manufacturing sector. But what the president has done is that we're not going to do that anymore. We are going to get manufacturing back in this country.

Starting point is 02:23:16 And this sector, this clean energy sector, is a huge opportunity for jobs for young people, for old people, for rural folks, for folks in communities that have been left behind. Oh, John, for old people. There's jobs for us. There is a life after podcasting. Wow. We can go work in a battery factory. That's got to be a healthy job.

Starting point is 02:23:38 Final clip here. Since these bills have been passed, just in the energy sector, there have been 600 factories that have cropped up in pockets all across America to build these. It's amazing. The manufacturing sector is back. Jobs are back. Stamp it, made in America. Use it here. Use it with American workers.

Starting point is 02:23:56 Just saying. Hope you don't look convinced. I am convinced, but I do have questions because people are getting bills, energy bills, electric bills that are insane. And I don't understand how you can tell because I watch these guys. They come and they look at the little thing going around and then they read the number. How do you know $300 is on there? How do you know to charge me? Yes, good point.

Starting point is 02:24:23 Good point. Good point, Whoopi. Yeah yeah that's why we need smart meters that's the follow-up but granholm missed it what an opportunity um kind of related uh really more related to big pharma honestly and there's there's a couple of things that uh before we take a break. Actually, I'll do this real quick just because I'm still monitoring the bird flu. On the medical watch, concerns about the potential for bird flu to spread among humans. The World Health Organization is calling for more tracking and preparation.

Starting point is 02:25:10 H5N1 is a highly infectious strain of the virus that's been spreading within several mammal species, including cows here in the U.S. So far, there's no evidence it can spread from person to person. In the hundreds of cases, though, where humans have been infected through contact with animals over the past 20 years, the mortality rate is extraordinarily high. That's because humans have no natural immunity to this virus. Still keeping an eye on that for the election keeping an eye on the the bird flu it's you know they're telling you that hey if it gets out if it transfers i'm waiting for the story first human to breaking first human to human transmission of bird flu h5n1 that's when that happens you know that we're headed for some bad times. This will be one of my final clips here. As I think we've discussed, big pharma and big food, big ag, big food always work together.

Starting point is 02:26:07 And, you know, the whole idea is get people hooked, get people hooked on processed food, and then we'll give them some medication to fix that problem. Ozempic, the GLP-1 drugs is a great example of that. We need to expand this market. That's what Nestle was thinking. We need to expand our market, which will help our brothers over there at GLP-1 drug companies. This latest research from Public Eye comes with a very clear message. Nestle must stop adding sugar to products aimed at infants. The study showed that the Swiss consumer giant had been adding sugar to things like baby cereal and infant milk across the global south,

Starting point is 02:26:39 here in Senegal, but also in countries like Nigeria and South Africa as well. At the same time Nestlé hadn't been adding sugar to equivalent products sold in European markets. This toxic commercial practice flies in the face of all guidance from the WHO and other public health bodies. Sugar particularly when given to infants increases their risk of developing diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure and other non-communicable diseases later in life. It's a highly addictive substance and giving it to young children increases their risk of essentially getting a taste for it. The UN estimates that 39 million children under the age of five worldwide are either obese or overweight. Africa has seen a 23% increase in the number of obese and overweight children under the age of five since the turn of the century. The activities of companies like Nestle and other multinational

Starting point is 02:27:39 giants, which draw in huge profits, are certainly not making the situation better. I love that. Hook them young. Get them on the sugar. Well, I'm glad that they figured that out. They what? Hook them on the sugar or that they're calling them out on it? I don't know. Either one. I kept a couple of the last ditch ones here. Okay.

Starting point is 02:28:11 I thought this was funny. This was an illegal immigrant complaining about food since she just did a food clip. Meanwhile, in New York City, a clip from a Tuesday committee hearing is being shared online. It shows an immigrant criticizing the situation at a New York City shelter. At the shelter, the food, my kids cannot eat the food at the shelter. And on Ramadan time, we couldn't eat because when you come back for the breaks, the food is not good at all. The city held the hearing to probe whether black illegal immigrants are treated unfairly in the Big Apple.

Starting point is 02:28:48 No. No. We give our people and our children the same crap food. What's wrong with you? Yeah. I think that's the point. Before you move on, I do have a breaking clip regarding the replacement migration in Chicago. We might as well title this episode, They're Stealing.

Starting point is 02:29:10 This is awesome what they're doing here. The only difference from where I stand now and where I stood in November and May of last year was that I was a no then. Today, I'm a hell no. Several older people voicing frustration today at a special city council meeting at City Hall. A $70 million allocation to help care for new migrants and a $1.25 billion bond to fund housing and economic development.

Starting point is 02:29:37 It was a mixed bag of older people for and against funding the care of migrants in the city. We have to take care of our problems first. We have 3,200 children, 3,200 children in our shelter system. Where will they go when we can no longer operate our shelters? But overall, the measure passed, 30 to 18, approving Mayor Brandon Johnson's plan to take $70 million in surplus money to help pay for food and operational costs of migrant shelters. This $70 million is the responsible thing to do. There were several failed motions to put more aldermanic oversight on the second agenda item,

Starting point is 02:30:20 a $1.25 billion bond deal. The Johnson proposed plan did pass and will provide funding for housing and economic development in the city. Party time in Chiraq. $1.25 billion. That's $1,000 million homes that won't be built. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:30:42 And it's a bond, which means it comes from your taxes doesn't it usually it depends on how it's structured well yes but i mean how how mad do you think people in chicago are well it sounds like they're mad but they don't seem to have the wherewithal or gumption or the gum political selectivity. There's nobody that you can do. What are you going to do? You can't vote these guys out.

Starting point is 02:31:08 The next one that comes in is worse because there's nobody that's running that can fix the problems. It's time for revolution. It's always been corrupt there. It's time for revolution. It's a machine. The Democrat machine runs Chicago, so no matter who you're with, they pre-select who's going to win.

Starting point is 02:31:22 How did somebody like, for example, Rahm Emanuel, coming right out of the White House, become the mayor of Chicago out of the blue. How does that work? It was great. It was a machine. That was great. The Chicago machine, and nobody can do anything about it. They're the ones who put it in place. Yeah, it's fantastic.

Starting point is 02:31:39 So good. It's fantastic. It's good for the show. It's good fodder. Anything else you for the show this is good fodder uh anything else you want to play uh yeah i do have this is one interesting i thought you thought this was a funny clip because this is these are what i would call uh criminals who are just the kind of above the fray and this is the story about the crazy 3030 million heist. Oh, you've had this clip around for a while. Yeah, I've been wanting to play it. I'm glad because I'm kind of tired of seeing it show up every time.

Starting point is 02:32:13 I'm like, really, that clip again? We'll never play that clip. Here it is. Several days ago on Easter Sunday, a lot of folks went to church. A lot of folks hosted an Easter Sunday brunch. And the kids took part in the annual Easter egg hunt. Later that night, a heist of epic proportions, thieves broke into the Garda World warehouse just behind me and made away with $30 million. Garda World sits on the 15,600 block of Roxford Street in the Los Angeles

Starting point is 02:32:37 suburb of Sylmar. On their website, they describe themselves as a global champion in security services, integrated risk management, and cash solutions, and they're also simply referred to as a money storage facility. So it was a surprise for everyone on Monday morning when the business opened up and they realized they'd been robbed. The LA Times reported that the thieves were so stealthy that the safe showed no signs of a break-in from the outside, and the operators of the business didn't know a thing till they opened it on Monday. Next door to the Garter World warehouse, we caught up with retired LAPD detective Moses Castillo, who tells us who he thinks is responsible for the haul. To me, this

Starting point is 02:33:14 smells of an inside job, 100%. There's no downroom on my mind. Castillo went on to say that these buildings are very difficult to breach. These buildings have very sophisticated alarm systems and video footage cameras everywhere and to go undetected to the next morning it has to be somebody that knew how to bypass all that. One person familiar with the investigation said the thieves got into the building through the roof and they somehow managed to avoid setting off any alarms when they got into the money storage area in the warehouse. And just exactly who does he think is responsible for this monumental money grab? One person? Maybe a group?

Starting point is 02:33:55 Either it's a current dishonest employee or somebody that was recently discharged for whatever reason or retired or whatnot. But I believe this was really well planned out but i also believe they may have had looked lookouts and sometimes when they do the operations they'll have radio communications monitoring the police frequency to see if the police were dispatched and if they were they give the people a heads up hey the police are coming let's bail let's get out of here kind of glad we played this because it shows you how the media is so oh my god 30 million dollars was stolen while one trillion dollars was just taken right before our very eyes by our own government that's funny yeah it's a good bit and now when i think about it

Starting point is 02:34:38 it was 900 billion and then they wanted to make it the even trill. That's why they had to add $100 billion. I think they had a party. You think we can do it, Bill? You think we can get to a trillion? Can we get to a trillion this year? Yeah, watch this. Watch this. And with that... That's a good point.

Starting point is 02:34:56 I think it's well taken. I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the malarkey corner. Ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeVore. Well, in the morning, you, Mr. Amaker.

Starting point is 02:35:13 In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water. Oh, the game's a nice shot there. Hey, in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hello, trolls. Don't run. No, stop. Wait, hang on. That's not too bad. Hey, in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hello, trolls. Don't run. No, stop. Wait a minute.

Starting point is 02:35:25 Hang on. That's not too bad. 1847. We had a little bit more on the last show, but I think that was something special happened on that show. What was it? Something going on. There was a lot of extra trolls, but this is good trollage.

Starting point is 02:35:43 This is good. This is okay. Yeah okay yeah no it's good it's good i like it and they're listening to noagendastream.com they're doing that either at trollroom.io or they might be using a modern podcast app yeah yeah i'm going to promote them again how about just going on the irc and doing it direct well you want to listen because on the irc you can't listen i mean there's no link to listen you need to you want it all because on the IRC, you can't listen. I mean, there's no link to listen. You want it all in one go, which is why you want it on a modern podcast app, you see. That's why you want to do that.

Starting point is 02:36:12 You go to noagendastream.com. Which I always say, noagendastream.com, trollroom.io, noagendachat.net, noagendaabc.com. I mean, toomanyeggs.com. I mean, I can keep going. I mean, it's a bonanza, noagendashc.com. I mean, too many eggs.com. I mean, I can keep going. I mean, it's, it's a bonanza. Noagendashop.com.

Starting point is 02:36:29 Seriously, we love having you guys here. You're like the, we're still watching Cheers. We're still binge watching Cheers now on season seven. And everyone starts off with, Cheers is filmed before a live studio audience.

Starting point is 02:36:43 And I always think to myself, yeah, that's us. Live before a live studio audience. And I always think to myself, yeah, that's us. Live before no agenda, troll audience. What's the last sitcom that was filmed before a live studio audience? I don't think they even bother anymore. Is there even a sitcom anymore? Yeah, there was a couple, actually.

Starting point is 02:37:05 And there's one I can recommend. Oh, okay. Not dead yet. That's not new. Are they still on? They're not making new episodes, are they? I think so. I'm not so sure.

Starting point is 02:37:18 I never heard of this show. But anyway. Hey, why did you watch it? It's like unpromoted. I mean, these guys, they don't know what the hell they're doing. No, it's over. Television is over. It's ending. It's collapsing slowly,

Starting point is 02:37:30 then all of a sudden it'll go very fast. And I'll be left with TikTok, owned by Steve Mnuchin. That'll be a scandal. No, it's obvious to see what's going on. So, as we discussed earlier, unlike the unheard guys, we don't have to deal with being blocked by Oracle

Starting point is 02:37:55 and what was that other outfit called? Grapeshot and the Global Disinformation Index. That, of course, is because we're on Podcasting 2.0, which works on all old podcast apps. But in general, it's coming from the Podcast Index, which means that it's not going to be taken away. None of your favorite shows will be taken away from you. Not if I can help it.

Starting point is 02:38:21 And we run value for value, which is the only way we could do any of this. We couldn't even say something closely related to Title IX without being demonetized and possibly deplatformed. And I think we're going to see a lot of deplatforming. Absolutely. You're absolutely correct.

Starting point is 02:38:39 Just discussing that topic for just that one second would have gotten us banned for life. Done. Done, you're over life. Done. Done. You're over with. It's ridiculous. We rely on our producers, and this is not a listening audience, but we rely on our producers, who listen, of course, to supply us with time, talent, and treasure in return for us providing the value of this program twice a week. No questions asked.

Starting point is 02:39:04 No hoops no levels no subscriptions it's out there for everybody a percentage a percentage helps us out by the way i do want to say one more thing about that about that clip and about the banning and the it's also because of the oracle and grape shot and this and that and the other thing. Another example of the plague of microservices architecture. In advertising, absolutely. Absolutely. Why don't you, you know, in the olden days, you'd have a sales guy, go out and sell an ad, you put the ad on, you place the ad where you wanted it.

Starting point is 02:39:40 And then you would sign an affidavit, I played the ad. Remember those affidavit i played the ad remember those affidavits basically and you know and if the guy listened and the ad wasn't played correctly in the right spot you had to do a make good and that would all be done it wasn't done by a bunch of subsystems that are linked to this then that's linked to that And this is linked and linked and linked. It sucks. Yeah. So we don't, we don't,

Starting point is 02:40:09 we don't want any part of that. Now you can help us skip the middleman. You can help us by donating directly. That is of course, incredibly appreciated. That's our treasure, but you can also help us with your time and your talent. We have a lot of people doing a lot of different things who've helped us over the years and continue to help us

Starting point is 02:40:25 some for longer than a decade a decade and a half even and from very early on we've had even before most apps could even handle this we we had artists creating fresh album art for every single show now it's kind of a thing but still the quality is nowhere near what the no agenda artists do and you can find it at no agenda art generator.com there's uh about i think like 30 how many let me see it has a tally right on the home page let me see how many how many uh pieces of art do we have i think we have let's let's get this real quick. It's counting up. We have 32.1 thousand artworks from one and a half thousand artists. That's 1.6 thousand episodes.

Starting point is 02:41:16 That's about right. This is good. And we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1652. We that ashka normativity and uh john saw this one right away and uh it was a little small but man it every people who saw it and looked closely they got it and it was just mind-bogglingly good from capitalist agenda who i don't think has had a win for a bit now yeah and he's a pro tell us about this art yeah so this is the morton salt girl is walking it you know when it rains it pours is what the moniker usually says because morton salt has uh it's dry salt that it does

Starting point is 02:42:00 in such a way and i think they've got got something in there to keep it from lumping up. So you have, it rains at poor, so it's a high moisture, you know, blah, blah, blah. But it's the Morton Salt girl walking in the rain, but instead of just a regular Morton Salt girl, she's wearing a hijab and... That was pretty funny.
