Oh my god, this is terrific.
Adam Curry, John C.
DeVora.
It's Thursday, May 29th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1768.
This is no agenda.
And we have a winner!
And we're broadcasting live from the heart of
the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region
Number 16.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're wishing
John F.
Kennedy a happy birthday.
He'd be a spry 108.
I'm John C.
DeVorak.
It's Crackpot and Buzzkill.
In the morning.
A spry 108, really?
Hey, we have a winner.
We have a new champion.
And for the first time in a long
time, he's Japanese!
Hold on.
Uh-huh, uh-huh.
A new champion?
Yes.
Come on, man.
This is your...
This is your beat.
Sumo?
Yes!
He's not...
He's won...
This, I think, is his fifth tournament.
He's won so many times Onosato.
Yes.
They're gonna boost him to Yakuzuna, the fastest
in history.
But it was always Mongolians who won.
No, no.
There's been a couple of Mongolians recently.
But Japanese are more traditionally the winners.
Because there's more of them.
Well, I'm just looking at the AP reports.
You're telling me AP is wrong?
Yeah.
According to AP, the big news is he's
Japanese.
Because for years, it says...
It doesn't say how many years.
For years, the winner has been Mongolian.
Yeah, four years.
Four years, to be exact.
Well, there you go.
Four years.
I nailed it.
There's been a number of...
Nailed it.
Hoshrorororor, is the name I can't pronounce.
They've been Yakuzunas and they're both Mongolians.
There's a bunch of Mongolians.
Now, there's two Ukrainian guys.
And one of them is really good.
Keep them out of the sport.
Keep them out.
Big fat white guys.
It's about time.
Get those big fat white guys out of
the sport, man.
That's no good.
So, wow.
We had forgotten how powerful the rainsticks really
are.
We got a rain stick ricochet here in
Texas after we shook it for the Dutch.
Yeah, Mimi was telling me about it.
She's following the news, following her favorite weather
guy on YouTube.
Max Velocity.
Max Velocity, yeah.
So, plug him again, plug him again, she
begs me.
Really?
He's a dweeb.
Have you seen this guy?
He's a dweeb.
He's a dweeb.
So we come home from Nashville, what was
it, Monday, Monday afternoon, and we knew there
were some storms brewing, you know, so it's
okay, and so we come home and we
open the suitcases, unpack, and then we said,
let's go get some dinner, so now it's
about 5.30. We go to the Chinese
place, which I discovered only a couple months
ago, been here for 14 years.
We independent business, okay?
And then we're in the restaurant, everybody's, except
mine, everybody's phone goes off with an emergency
warning, and it's kind of interesting to see
it all happen or to hear it all
happen in the restaurant.
So you're in a restaurant and a bunch
of phones went off.
Everybody's phone, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
beep, and Tina's like, should we get it
to go?
I'm like, no, it's, I look out the
window, it's not even raining yet.
So we finish our food, take our time,
I have my Sapporo beer, we go home,
and Phoebe is already looking a little like,
hmm.
So we put the Thunder shirt on her,
and she just sits there, but she's looking
out the back and she's just staring.
And there's this big, ominous cloud, oh yeah,
at this point, Mimi texts me.
Mimi never texts me for anything.
In fact, I think if something happened to
you, she wouldn't text me.
She sent me an email, eh, something wrong
with John.
And she's like, storm coming your way, Max
Velocity, he's always right.
You gotta get to work on another book.
Too much velocity.com.
So I turn on the YouTubes, and I
see Max Velocity, and wow, this is pretty
big.
And then it starts.
Golf ball-sized hail just pelting the house.
I mean, we have a small, I call
it a cocktail pool.
You can basically stand everywhere and drink.
It's like meteorites coming down this thing.
And we have a lot of glass in
the back, so they're all bouncing off the
tiles and against the windows.
Phoebe was just sitting there like, I got
my Thunder shirt on, I'm good.
Tina was nervous.
It was really- What's she nervous about?
The windows breaking.
Oh yeah, it could happen.
Oh, man.
Did you see that one hailstorm that was
the size of a soccer ball way up
north in Texas?
It was the size of a soccer ball.
So then after the hailstorm, we have these
lounges, the chaise lounges outside by the pool.
The fabric is completely penetrated with like winkle
hook tears.
Just holes in it.
Just bam, bam, all these hailstones just ripped
right through the fabric.
That's some max velocity right there.
That's some violence.
Yes.
Now, the next day- Did you go
outside to experience it?
Put a hard hat on and see what
it was like?
Hell no.
Hell no.
I would have.
No, I don't have a hard hat.
John, it was like, no.
It was like, yeah.
And of course, we have a metal roof,
which just makes- You don't have a
hard hat?
I do not.
You know, I need a hard hat.
I think this should be part of my
- We should have two in the go
bag just in case.
You should have a couple of hard hats
that have the New Agenda sticker right on
the front.
Yes, yes.
I'm looking for those.
So the next morning, it starts at 6
a.m. Text messages, phone calls, guys at
the door.
You know what they were?
Bible salesmen.
No.
Roof damage.
I'm sure you- Oh, roof damage, guys.
You have a dent in your gutter.
Because this is insurance stuff.
So they all know that the insurance will
pay for it.
Now, never mind that if I go, oh,
I'm going to get a $30,000 roof
job, I'll probably get kicked off my insurance.
Then we did not have any damage.
Yeah, one gutter had a little dent in
it, if I'm okay.
But it was amazing.
They were rolling up one after another.
You know, just right up there, hey, I'm
here.
You know, you could have damage.
That's interesting.
Yeah, there'd be an infrastructure for that, because
that type of weather does happen in Texas
a lot.
Yep.
And so you would develop an infrastructure for
just that, just that purpose, and it's pretty
cool.
And they must have voter rolls or something,
because how do they get my- And
they're all texting from 830, which is our
local area code.
Now, I have a 650 number, so it's
not like they were just spamming 630 numbers.
They had me.
They know I live here.
They have my number, and they just started
spamming.
I did some research and found out how
they had your number.
I was so annoyed, to be honest, by
everybody's show.
Oh, you're missing out, because this is valuable
information.
Yeah.
It may be something we could use to
market the show.
Oh, yeah.
I'm sure you can buy a list.
Conspiracy theorists.
Well, I know I can buy a list,
but it sounds to me as though there's
some pretty good lists out there.
Well, this was a pretty good list.
So anyway, I learned my lesson once.
It did rain in Holland, by the way,
so the rain stick did work, but, man,
the ricochet effect was just too crazy.
Yeah, I was against it.
We literally had storm chasers going up and
down Main Street or Fredericksburg.
I've never seen that before.
Yeah, we're here in Fredericksburg, and we're on
Main Street, and it's coming down pretty bad,
and Max Velocity is here.
Max Velocity is checking everything out.
Well, meep, meep, meep, we have another touchdown.
We've got another tornado warning.
Meep, meep, meep.
Oh!
I don't think anything actually touched down, but
it does freak people out.
Yeah, sure it does.
It freaks people out.
I mean, the hailstorm is one thing, but
having your roof ripped off is another thing.
Yeah, yeah.
And so last night, we got an email
from Steve and Stephanie.
Said, hey, we're coming through Texas.
I'm doing a show with Lyle, and we'd
love to take you guys out to dinner.
Who's Steve and Stephanie?
Exactly.
We met them.
Wow, well, I walked right into that one.
Yeah, so he said, hey, Jack's Steakhouse.
Want to go to a steakhouse?
Jack's Steakhouse.
Steve and Stephanie, we met them at the
Vegas Super Spreader event back in, I think
it was 2021.
Oh.
Remember, everything was locked down.
Yeah, I remember that.
We were all outside.
No one had a mask on.
No one got sick.
And at this particular meetup is where we
learned from the ventilation trainers, the vent machine
trainers who have a facility in Vegas.
We learned from them that, oh, man, we're
killing people.
This protocol they're doing on people is wrong.
So this is how valuable the No Agenda
producers are and going to meetups.
But there were a lot of interesting people
at that meetup.
Steve is a sound mixer, front of house
for bands, and he's currently touring with Lyle
Lovett.
And Stephanie, for 27 years, I think, or
23 years, has been the head chief technical
director for Cirque du Soleil.
And these people have interesting jobs.
That's a pretty cool gig.
Oh, yeah.
And she does all the – you call
it Cirque.
You don't say Cirque, you say Cirque.
Cirque.
Yes.
She's gotten pretty lewd, by the way, recently.
You should ask her about that.
I don't think she cares.
She loves her job.
Well, no, but I should ask her why.
Is the audience demanding more lewd content?
Without asking her, I'd say probably, and with
the knowledge that Vegas shows are down at
least 25% in attendance.
She says shows are closing, so you have
to have more of a draw to bring
people in.
Vegas is down.
Vegas is not doing well.
She says it's all sports now.
All the entertainment is sports, and Formula One
ruins it for everybody.
Of course, it's great for hotels, but, you
know, it's a street race.
So there are restaurants that have been in
business for 40 years, and, you know, so
people can't get to their restaurant.
The street's all torn up.
It takes, you know, two weeks for them
to clean everything up.
They're going out of business.
So thanks, Europeans, for ruining everything.
But that's not why I bring them up.
So Steve says, you know, I'm still so
mad at myself because I needed to go
to work, and I got the vax.
He said, I got the J&J.
I said, whew, well, if you're going to
have one, that's the one you want because
at least it's not an mRNA product.
And Stephanie didn't get one, but she had
to fill out a million forms and wear
15 masks and a hijab and God knows
what else.
Get tested every week.
Get tested every week, exactly.
And he says, but I can tell you,
seven people, not just someone I know, but
people I know personally have died from this
vax.
Seven.
I found that to be a disturbing number.
We get a lot of notes from people
that have nothing.
Their whole family has got something or other
going on that's not good.
No.
And this rolls right into what I would
say is probably the main topic of the
day on the M5M because they live and
die by pharmaceutical advertising.
And I know you have a couple of
clips.
I'll just shard us.
Yes, shard us.
I'd like to be sharded today.
Let me shard us off with a little
announcement.
Hi, everybody.
I'm Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr., your HHS secretary, and I'm here
today with NIH Director Dr. J.
Bhattacharya and FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty McCary.
I couldn't be more pleased to announce that
as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy
children and healthy pregnant women has been removed
from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.
Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children
to get yet another COVID shot, despite the
lack of any clinical data.
To support the repeat booster strategy in children.
That ends today.
It's common sense.
That's good science.
There's no evidence healthy kids need it.
And most countries have stopped recommending it for
children.
We're now one step closer to realizing President
Trump's promise to make America healthy again.
Well, you would have thought someone dropped a
nuclear bomb.
Oh, no, anti-vaxxer.
Wait a minute.
He said, we don't recommend it.
For healthy young children and pregnant women.
As sometimes in the mainstream media referred to
as pregnant people, for some reason.
And just every single show had all of
their doctors on a robot.
Well, we have a couple of, I have
a few things here.
I have the PBS, the shameful PBS presentation.
You want to do the three by three
or do you want to go?
But I, but yeah, I think it's now
it's time for three by three.
It is an experiment by JCD.
A long time experiment comparing stories from ABC,
CBS.
Three by three, three stories, three news networks,
all the same story.
Just to prove a point.
I want to thank Steve Jones for, of
course, putting these together for me.
Yes.
And congratulations, Steve.
Congratulations on two years today.
He's celebrating two years.
John is good.
We're very pleased and proud of it.
So we're going to start with the, I'm
trying to go reverse order and end with
NBC.
Oh, so we're going to start with CBS's
CIA broadcasting system.
And this will be their version of the
announcement.
Health and human services secretary, Robert F.
Kennedy jr.
Made the announcement on X COVID vaccine for
healthy children and healthy.
That right there is just them being mad
on X.
Doesn't even come.
Yes.
That's a good catch.
On X.
It's also, it also implies Elon nut job.
You got all these by built by associations.
You got Trump, you got Elon and you
have X health and human services, secretary Robert
F.
Kennedy jr.
Made the announcement on X COVID vaccine for
healthy children and healthy pregnant women has been
removed from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.
Typically the CDC's advisory committee for immunization practices,
votes on changes to vaccine schedules and guidelines
before the director of the CDC makes a
final recommendation to the HHS secretary.
In this case, the committee did not weigh
in instead flanking Kennedy today, the heads of
the FDA and the NIH.
Last year, the Biden administration urged healthy children
to get yet another COVID shot, despite the
lack of any clinical data to support the
repeat booster strategy in children's that ends today.
It's common sense.
That's good science.
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today.
And most countries have stopped recommending it for
children until now.
The government recommended COVID vaccinations for everyone.
Isn't that kind of interesting that it's beyond
them to just play the whole 47 second
statement.
They can't do that.
Wouldn't that be more of a service like
we just did to play the 47 second
announcements.
Instead, they've got to chop it up and
do all they don't believe it's necessary.
Okay.
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today.
And most countries have stopped recommending it for
children until now.
The government recommended COVID vaccinations for everyone, six
months and older.
The CDC maintained the vaccine is safe for
children and it prevented them from getting seriously
sick.
The agency also stressed vaccination is especially important
for people at highest risk of severe COVID
-19, including pregnant women during his confirmation hearing,
Kennedy promised not to change vaccine review standards
from historical norms.
We're now one step closer to realizing president
Trump's promise to make America healthy again.
Oh, good one.
Yes.
Well, that CDC advisory committee was considering removing
the COVID-19 vaccine recommendation for children.
But one of the members said he was
worried what message that would send because there
are still thousands of COVID related hospitalizations and
deaths.
Yes.
So I want to point out one thing
on that report.
And I want to want people to look
for it in the other reports.
First of all, was the Ron Johnson document
that came out from the government.
Yep.
The long report showing that it was causing
miscarriages in pregnant women and hurting the fetus.
It was just a dangerous thing to give
to pregnant women that was not brought up.
Myocarditis in young people was never brought up
in any of these reports that I know
that I can tell it is interesting that
I leave it out.
Well, because you played CBS, if you don't
mind, I'll just interject your three by three
CBS, Austin, strangely enough, filed a report about
just this.
A groundbreaking new study sounding alarms about the
safety of COVID MRNA vaccines, directly challenging claims
from public health officials and raising urgent questions
about transparency and trust.
So using hard data from disease trends, from
patient outcomes and immune system analysis, multiple research
reports show that heart inflammation risks tied to
the vaccines may be far greater and maybe
even more dangerous than previously reported, particularly among
young men joining us now to discuss this
as independent medical Alliance, senior fellow of pediatric
cardiology, Dr. Curt Kirk Mill home.
Good morning to you, doctor.
Welcome to the national news desk.
Great to have you.
Good morning.
Thanks for having me on this new study
about the safety of COVID MRNA vaccines was
published in the international journal of cardiovascular research
and innovation.
As I understand it, tell us about the
scope of this research and really your top
findings from it.
So it's a compilation of studies that really
have been out there since 2021.
We saw a signal in the vaccine product
causing problems, especially in the young adults, especially
young males that was causing heart inflammation.
And so what we have done is compiled
all those different peer review journals, articles, and
data and put them in one place, easily
accessible with 42 pages and 341 references of
our, our concerns that this is a real
issue.
And these vaccines do little good for healthy
children and young adults.
I think everything that the networks did was
to obfuscate this news.
This was the groundbreaking news.
Yeah, obviously.
And someone's getting, I'm surprised that was reported
anywhere that what you just play was not
local.
Yes.
Local.
Yeah.
It was local in Texas, but I don't
think very few markets had it.
Austin though at the national desk, mind you
the national news desk.
It is pretty screwy.
It'd be Austin.
Yeah.
So let's back, let's go to the next
one, which is the old original spinoff of
NBC, ABC, Rachel Scott.
Tonight in a significant change to CDC guidelines,
health secretary, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. announcing the department will no longer
recommend routine COVID shots for healthy children and
pregnant women.
I couldn't be more pleased to announce that
as of today, the COVID vaccine for healthy
children and healthy pregnant women has been removed
from the CDC recommended immunization schedule.
Kennedy and noted vaccine skeptic has questioned whether
the COVID-19 vaccine was successful in saving
millions.
Noted.
I like that.
Noted vaccine skeptic noted of lives today.
He was joined by other top health officials.
There's no evidence.
Healthy kids need it today.
And most countries have stopped recommending it for
children, but the move was quickly questioned by
public health officials, accusing the Trump administration of
bypassing the traditional independent review process, including recommendations
from medical experts.
We were kind of blindsided by this announcement.
Wait a minute.
Wasn't that guy literally from the independent review
who was on CBS, Austin?
No, he was an independent guy.
It wasn't the ministry.
They're talking about this little group that's within
CDC.
Yeah.
That's supposed to, he's supposed to run everything
past them and they've been trying to get
rid of most of them are, you know,
big pharma guys, a bypass, traditional independent review
process, including recommendations from medical experts.
We were kind of blindsided by this announcement.
We were not consulted about this.
Dr. Sean O'Leary with the American Academy
of Pediatrics said, and the leading OBGYN association
with this diner warning, it's very clear that
COVID-19 infection during pregnancy can be catastrophic.
Tonight, the CDC's website still listing the COVID
vaccine as recommended for everyone, six months and
older, including pregnant women doctors saying the new
recommendations are unclear and remove a healthcare choice
for families.
This comes after the deadly measles outbreak across
the country.
Most of the cases involving children, not stop
it.
Stop the clip, back it up.
How does it remove a healthcare choice?
I was going to wait until the clip
was done.
This is the big thing they're making it.
And I can tell you why, but I
will do that with clips later, but it
is just saying it's not recommended.
Doesn't remove it from anybody's healthcare choice at
all.
No, it's a lie.
Well, there's, there's an issue behind it.
I think my, by the way, we have
dueling clips then because my PBS material coming
up.
Yeah.
Might.
That's fine.
Address it.
And I'm going to let you go first.
Well, I don't know.
Maybe you should go first.
Well, let's finish the clips.
Women doctors saying the new recommendations are unclear
and remove a healthcare choice for families.
This comes after the deadly measles outbreak across
the country, involving children, not vaccinated.
Nebraska.
Now the 32nd state to report a measles
case, a rare breakthrough case in a child
who was vaccinated.
So far, more than 1000 people have been
infected with the virus since the start of
this year, three unvaccinated people, including two children
have died.
That is amazing.
They twist.
It goes straight from the COVID.
No long COVID vaccine, no longer recommended to
measles.
Does anything change with the MMR?
I don't believe so.
It's unbelievable.
It's front running.
They're front running.
Cause they know it's coming.
Ooh, you're using a stock market term.
I like it.
Yeah.
It's front running.
Well, in fact, it is relevant to the
stock market because if you're front running it,
you know, that a pharma stock's going to
go down.
So here we go with the, with the,
uh, King Viper at the moment, at least
NBC.
Tonight, health secretary, Robert F.
Kennedy jr.
Says the CDC is ending its COVID vaccine
recommendation for healthy children and healthy pregnant women.
And Thompson joins us now because how the
decision was made is raising some questions.
Let's say there's a lot of confusion tonight
in a 54 second video.
Secretary Kennedy says the vaccine has been removed
because of a lack of clinical data to
support the booster strategy and healthy children.
But apparently the decision did not go through
the typical CDC review process by outside advisors,
which would then make a recommendation to the
CDC director.
Right now there is no director.
So what does all this mean?
The affordable care act says insurance has to
cover CDC recommended vaccines.
It is unclear tonight.
If people will have to pay out of
their own pockets for their kids, COVID shots,
the CDC's own website does not match what
secretary Kennedy said today.
And we've reached out to HHS, but have
yet to hear back Lester.
Okay.
And thank you.
And there it is because everybody knows that
the insurance companies, they don't want to cover
anything.
They don't have to cover.
And, uh, by law, they have to cover
anything that is, uh, in the recommended vaccine
schedule for children.
And that's what it is.
The pharma companies are seeing their bottom line
declining because the insurance companies will like, no
one has come out and said it yet,
but they will likely no longer covered.
And that was the bottom line for every
single report.
Uh, exhibit a CBS, Dr. John.
What could this decision do when it comes
to access or even insurance coverage access access?
I don't have access.
Yes, you do.
You have access.
You have access.
Maybe not access being for free, but you
have access.
Yeah.
Well, so that's the big thing.
If the CDC is not recommending it, then
insurance coverage could go away right now.
It's covered in most cases.
Uh, we look to see what the, what
the price difference would be.
It's for kids.
Uh, it would be about $57 maybe according
to the CDC schedule and maybe about $137
for adults.
So that's not nothing.
Uh, nothing.
If you're trying to get a vaccine and
you don't have to tell the money.
So if you reverse engineer that, that number
sounds interesting until you reverse engineer it.
It means that the insurance companies are paying
over a hundred dollars a shot.
Yes.
For every man, child and woman on their
policy plan, which is costing everybody money for
a useless shot.
Let's be honest about it.
But it's the pharma guys and gals who
advertise on these programs.
And so that's where we have to make
even more apparent when you, when you hear
the great clips from PBS, that's not nothing.
That's not nothing.
Is that proper grammar?
That's not nothing.
It doesn't sound right.
Somehow.
It sounds like a double negative.
Something people say.
Okay.
If you're trying to get a vaccine and
you don't have a ton of money and
COVID is COVID.
It's not nothing.
Yeah.
Trying to get a vaccine and you have
a ton of money, 57 bucks.
Okay.
If you're trying to get a vaccine and
you don't have a ton of money, COVID
it's not nothing either.
COVID is still, I just got my, no,
we'll wait for this.
I got my booster last week.
Yeah.
Oh, Gail, Gail, extra points for Gail.
She gets a little something in her check
today.
COVID it's not nothing either.
COVID is still something.
I just got my booster last week.
Yeah.
Because I am over the age of 65
and I, I don't see the downside to
getting the booster.
Right.
And I, and I think that's, that's what
you want to do.
Wow.
There's the clip of the day.
I don't see the downside.
One more time.
One more time.
Because I am over the age of 65
and I, I don't see the downside to
getting the booster.
Right.
And I, and I think that's, that's what
you want to discuss in an open forum.
And, you know, it's not just getting COVID
and you can say, well, kids generally do
pretty well, but there are issues of long
COVID, other issues, complications, kids are not immune
from having a bad outcome.
So I, I'd like to see the open,
transparent discussion.
Yes.
Well, let's go to your PBS clips and
remind me, I have some NPR beauts as
well.
Okay.
So PBS, you know, which is all, turns
out that they getting a lot of money
too.
And they have to do a disclaimer by
bringing some guy on.
And I, while we're running these clips, maybe
you can run the 1099.
This guy's Rich Besser.
And he's the head of the Robert Woods
foundation.
It's a private foundation.
You have to detect the 990 PF, which
is the private foundation.
What's the name of the outfit?
Robert Woods, something foundation.
It's named in the, in the clip.
Oh, okay.
I I'm, I'm at the ready with my
nine 99th.
Good to go.
Because this is this operation.
It's unbelievable.
So let's play the clip one.
The world health organization said today that a
new COVID variant is causing an uptick in
cases around the world.
It says COVID Vax one.
What am I doing?
Am I doing?
No, no, no.
I'm just saying there's a kicker is the
real and the other reports left it out.
There's a new COVID out there.
That's the reason you need the shot.
You scared me.
You scared me.
I thought I was playing the clips out
of order.
No, no, I know you're paranoid about it.
No, we're good to go.
All right.
By the way, this report of the new
COVID variant, India, Africa, China, it's everywhere.
The reports were just so poorly voice.
I didn't clip them.
Every, every country that has crappy news voiceovers.
It's just horrible is talking about the new
COVID.
The world health organization said today that a
new COVID variant is causing an uptick in
cases around the world.
And it's been detected in some States here
in the U S the COVID vaccine is
expected to provide good protection against the variant.
But the news comes after secretary of health
and human services, Robert F.
Kennedy Jr. Announced yesterday that the centers for
disease control and prevention would drop the COVID
vaccines from its list of recommended shots for
pregnant women and children.
That decision and other recent changes under Kennedy
are leading to major worries and unease among
medical and public health groups.
Allie Rogan has more.
Oh, unease.
I'm not, I'm uneasy about it.
So we have this set up and they,
I think PBS, of course this goes on
forever.
Cause it's a PBS thing, but they got
a better set up because they first, they
scare you with the new COVID.
That's right.
Yeah.
New COVID, new COVID.
And unlike the old COVID and somehow for
some unknown reason, they didn't do the booster.
Yeah.
It doesn't, doesn't do anything or I don't
know, does the booster.
Kick ass is no, it's going to do
something.
no, it's doing something, but it's just, it's
going to be yours.
That's the problem.
So here comes, uh, Allie with her report.
Many experts are calling the move unprecedented.
Typically the CDC makes recommendations about who should
be vaccinated and when based on advice from
an advisory committee of experts, but it's unclear
if they were consulted before the announcement.
Joining us to discuss the potential impact of
this announcement and wider concerns from public health
experts is Dr. Richard Besser, former acting director
of the CDC and now CEO of the
Robert Wood Johnson foundation.
And we should know that Robert Wood Johnson
foundation is a funder of the news hour.
Dr. Besser.
Okay, stop.
Uh, I have my nine nineties now there.
This is how it's often done.
You have the Robert Wood Johnson foundation and
they get money from the, I'm looking at
it right now from the Robert Wood Johnson
health network.
Yeah.
So the Robert Wood Johnson foundation, which of
course is, you know, it's only $3 million
in, uh, in annual monies, but they get
their money from the Robert Wood Johnson health
network.
How much do you think they do annually?
Well, I looked up the nine 90 PF,
which is the foundation's nine 90, which is
1400 pages.
Why buy, but let's just go straight to
the bottom line.
They get their money from the Robert Wood
Johnson health network.
Who's a 2023.
They haven't filed yet.
They're 2023 gross receipts, $106 million.
So there's your, there's your farm of money.
It's nothing.
If you look at the, the nine 90
PF or the Robert Woods Johnson foundation, the
nine 90 PF, the 1400 page thing, this
operation has $13 billion in the bank.
Wait a minute.
Let me see.
Oh yeah, I see it.
Yeah.
It's, it's right there.
13 billion, 832 million, 302,000, $736.
You're on that.
Yes.
If you're on that and by the end,
stop $13 billion.
Yeah.
Of which 2.3 billion is invested in
the stock market.
This is crazy.
No, they have all their investments listed.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's all is invested in the stock market.
The other 10 billion plus Sequoia capital.
Yeah.
Oh yeah.
Pretty much holding up Sequoia capital.
They, every fund that Sequoia has ever done.
By the way, Richard Bessert, his annual salary
for this small little nonprofit, $1.1 million.
There are five employees that have over a
million dollars in salaries.
Yes.
It's great.
And the total salary outlay.
Get, take a guess on that one.
Well, I have it.
You had to scrounge around, but that document
is too big.
44 million, I think something like that.
Okay.
I'm only looking at half of it.
$90 million in salaries.
Well, he's the guy.
He's the guy.
He's the guy you can trust.
He is independent.
This is the numbers I have here.
Oh yeah.
Acting CDO, former acting CDC director.
Yeah.
Less than one year.
Yeah.
He was in, he was bumped in there
and kicked out.
In and out.
No, kicked out is like, okay, I got
my creds.
I know everybody.
I know where the bodies are buried.
If you look at him on LinkedIn.
Yeah.
He's a, he, him a bunch of posts
about how poor George Floyd was murdered.
Ukrainian flag.
Well, they don't let you to put flags
on LinkedIn.
And where's his origin story from?
Where, what, what, what spooky operation?
Hospital is very famous.
Let me, let me guess.
That would be the, uh, uh, oh, now
I'm blanking on the name.
The guys from the, from the COVID numbers,
the, uh, come on, you're getting there.
Yeah.
And the ones, Johns Hopkins Hopkins.
There you go.
So he's a Johns Hopkins guy, which is,
was, was, was he at event 201 by
any chance?
I don't know.
I didn't get that deep into it, but
I got a bunch of stuff.
Their grants for 2023 were 543 million.
Ah, beautiful.
From this 13 billion.
That's the administrative cost is 97.
Yeah.
97 million.
Uh, it goes on and on.
This is a nightmare.
And of course, then they, they help fund
PBS.
And so there, PBS is beholding way without
mentioning it.
I just told you what you just dug
up without mentioning any of that.
PBS is so with their, their, their, they
had their beholden to this guy and his
organization.
So they put him on and let him
say what he wants, but wait, the kind
of stuff we're getting from the public radio
and public broadcasting system, but wait, the troll
room.
Immediately.
He's a Jew.
There you go.
There's proof.
I don't think he is.
I don't think so.
It's hilarious.
He's got everything he needs there.
Yeah.
This is horrible.
And they disclaim, Oh, we get money from
them.
Right.
They had to put that in there, but
that's, and they glossed it over and they
ran right through it without mentioning any of
these other details.
This is one of the 10 biggest, the
Gates foundation.
Matt is a Brown 60 billion.
These guys are big.
These guys are big.
These guys are, well, they're not as big
as them, but they're big.
And it's, and they sit on that money.
It all started in the thirties.
And some guy, the guy, the job, the
guy's name, young, whatever his name is.
He started the organization and he got it
really going by donating his 16 million shares
of Johnson and Johnson.
Right.
And, and then I started looking into this
and these other, these are all, this is
all tax free shelter.
This is 13, but they give away, sure.
They give away 500 billion.
They, they are 500 million.
I'm sorry.
500 million of the 13 billion that is
sitting there tax-free growing and growing and
growing.
And this guy dumped his 16 million shares
into the company without having to pay any
tech capital gains.
This whole thing is a ridiculous that the
government should be taxing these operations and you
get to ride on the jet and you
get a corporate credit card.
It's a beautiful lifestyle.
You get a housing allowance.
You get a million dollars a year in
salary.
You're on the, you're right.
The jets and the expense, all the expenses,
God knows what you spanned.
It's ridiculous.
It, this is large.
Yes.
Yes.
But, but PBS is going to play it
because all, you know, well, they're a sponsor.
Okay.
Here we go.
It's Dr. Richard Besser, former acting director of
the CDC and now CEO of the Robert
Wood Johnson foundation.
And we should note the Robert Wood Johnson
foundation is a funder of the news hour.
Dr. Besser, thank you so much for being
here.
I want to take these two categories in
turn.
First pregnant women.
There are many public health experts who are
expressing concern that they should absolutely still be
getting the vaccine to protect, not just themselves,
but also their infants.
What are the concerns there?
Yeah.
Well, thanks for having me on Ali.
It's very concerning.
You know, I'm a general pediatrician.
I practiced for more than 30 years.
And one of the, the wonderful things about
vaccinations in, in pregnant women is it not
only protects them, but it provides protective factors
to their babies who often can't get vaccinated
against many infectious diseases during that first year
of life.
And so those factors will not be coming
across to, to the babies of moms who
are now going to be denied access to
this vaccine.
Okay.
Factually, he's full of crap.
He's full of crap.
And what is this denied access?
Well, that's just, that's just a hyperbole.
It's a lie.
It's a blatant lie.
Hyperbole at best.
But, but the kids were on the schedule
for six months.
So don't give me this first year.
They can't have anything.
That's not true.
Because it was on the schedule for six
months.
Unless it's poison.
Vaccinate pregnant women is like a bad idea.
Yes.
You can't even have sushi when you're pregnant.
So I'm told.
So we have the situation where the guy
says now they're denied.
Nobody's denying anybody anything.
No, this guy is a liar for saying
that.
Yes.
And he's on PBS.
And does she call him out?
Does she in her whole report?
I don't get to play.
I don't play the whole damn thing, but
I got a lot of it.
I'll tell you this.
She never once brings up the, the, the
Johnson report from the Congress.
She doesn't bring up the stuff that you
played from CBS, the Texas Austin report where
the, where the documents have come out showing
this is bad for kids and bad for
pregnant women.
None of this has ever discussed.
So this is the most disingenuous reporting you
can imagine.
And this, again, I'll mention it, say it
again.
This is PBS, PBS, everybody PBS, the American
college of OBGYN.
This is the body of experts who are
in, who are obstetricians and gynecologists raise concerns
about this recommendation.
And the, a big concern for me is
that the announcement didn't provide the thought behind
it.
It didn't provide the data.
And that's what we're, we're losing is that
that ability to really understand the decision.
Now I want to talk specifically about children
over the age of six months.
FDA commissioner McCary said there's no evidence, healthy
kids need it.
And there are some countries that have stopped
administering it routinely, including Australia, the UK, as
well as the world health organization.
So what are the specific risks among that
group?
Yeah.
Thankfully the, the impact of COVID has been
going down over, over the years.
The, the, the talking about deaths of, of
in the thousands per per week, that's no
longer the conversation, but it doesn't mean that
COVID isn't still causing problems.
And it does cause problems for, for children.
One of the things that I like to
see each year is the advisory committee, that
expert body you were talking about to the
CDC, they wrestle with these questions.
They look and see, well, how many children
are getting infected?
Is the vaccine effective at, at preventing long
COVID that we know so many people are,
are suffering from?
What about a child who lives in a
family where there's someone who, who has an
immune problem?
Who's at greater risk with vaccinating that child,
help protect the others in the, in that
family.
This is so insane.
People have long COVID are typically people who
were vaccinated to start with.
This guy is an, he's evil.
He's evil.
And you're still there.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'm waiting for you to get us into
clip four.
I mean, I'm flabbergasted by this guy.
And the fact that PBS doesn't say anything
about the myocarditis issues at all.
They say nothing about the Johnson report at
all.
They don't bring any quite.
They don't question anything.
This guy has to say, especially when he
said they're going to be denied access, which
is, which is a lie.
Yeah.
And they say nothing at all.
This is PBS reading from a script, but
that's pharma talking points.
You're right.
Why does anybody support PBS?
I'm going to tell you in a minute
after we play your next clip.
Okay.
I think this is the last clip, right?
It is.
Yes.
Here we go.
Okay.
Well, it has a nice wrap.
We didn't get to hear any of those
conversations because this was the decision that just
came down from, from the secretary, a secretary
who, who told Congress just, just within the
past couple of weeks that we should not
take health advice from him and told Congress
during his confirmation hearing that he would not
be messing with the childhood vaccination schedule.
It's very concerning.
Insurance plans have to cover recommended vaccine.
So if these vaccines are no longer recommended
for these groups, how do you anticipate health
insurance companies are going to respond?
Yeah.
You know, it goes even beyond that the
affordable care access that it's recommended vaccine.
It has to be provided at no cost
to, to people with health insurance.
But one of the things that that's wonderful
about our childhood vaccination system in the United
States is if there is a recommended vaccination,
there's a program called the vaccines for children
program.
And that requires Congress to, to pay for
vaccinations for all children, regardless of whether they
have insurance.
So a child who is from a lower
income family is going to get vaccinated just
as easily as someone who's whose family has,
has more income without that recommendation, there will
not be those vaccines provided for free for
lower income children.
So there won't be that choice.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And now no one in these reports, because
it's the conclusion of every single doctor on
every network.
You won't have access because your insurance won't
cover it.
Well, isn't that an insurance company problem?
Isn't that an issue we should take up
with the insurance companies?
No, instead it's RFK juniors fault.
We get it.
We understand who's paying the bills around here.
Now let me play the jingle.
Elitist voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
So you ask, why do people support them?
Why do people listen to them?
I went to see my hair girl in
Austin Tuesday.
I am still loyal to her over 15
years.
You do.
I'm loyal to her.
And not just because I like how she
cuts my hair, because although she is definitely
liberal, she's not someone who goes nuts and
she, and she has a very clear head
about it.
And it's very difficult for her sometimes to
not enter into conversation with her clients because
they will not be her clients anymore.
So she can always vent with me.
I think she enjoys me coming as much
as I enjoy going to see her.
She said, first of all, all of her
clients still believe, honest to God, that Elon
Musk is a Nazi.
The Nazi salute is still real.
He has secret meetings.
He's in Nazi groups.
Secret meetings.
He is a Nazi.
Two, despite the recent rhetoric from the president
about Putin, total, total puppet for Putin.
Russiagate was real.
He works for Putin, not for the American
people.
And here came, here comes the next one.
She said, all my clients are NPR junkies.
And I'll probably add PBS to that.
They believe everything NPR says.
They listen religiously, nonstop, continuously to NPR.
And they are certain that the defunding Trump
is doing is part of suppressing the truth.
You understand?
Yeah, I understand.
I believe they're sincere in their beliefs.
So even though we play these clips and
people go, ah, I think it's important that
we continue to play these.
I don't think there's an issue there.
No, I just want to say, to be
understood, you must first understand.
And if you don't, if people don't, you
can't just say, these people are nut jobs
and crazy.
They may be, but you have to understand.
But you have to understand the brainwashing that
is taking place on them.
And it's so easy to do this.
I think these are just probably good people,
but the brainwashing is intense.
So it's important that we continue to listen
to the brainwashing so we can at least
understand where they're coming from and not just
write them off as dead.
That's all I'm saying.
So here's NPR, new COVID-19.
Kennedy says that there was no evidence that
repeated boosters help healthy kids, kids with no
risk factors and FDA commissioner McCary agreed.
Here's what he said.
There's no evidence healthy kids need it today.
And most countries have stopped recommending it for
children.
And you know, while that might be true
in this country, this change still is raising
a lot of concerns among independent experts.
Okay.
We'll say more about that if you would.
What are those concerns?
Well, one big one is that the decision
appears to have been made without going through
the normal process of getting input from the
centers for disease control and prevention's independent advisors.
They've been mulling over this very question and
are scheduled to meet next month to review
all the evidence and make recommendations about this.
And beyond that, outside experts are worried what
this means for the health and safety of
pregnant people, kids, and their families.
Pregnant people.
Remember they're not women.
They're pregnant people.
Okay.
So let me ask you about people.
That is disgusting.
That's NPR for you.
Pregnant.
This guy pregnant people.
Okay.
So let me ask you about that.
Do healthy, pregnant women and kids still need
regular COVID boosters and what if they want
them?
They need them.
Well, one big question is will insurance companies
still pay for the shots and will people
be able to afford it if they don't,
because if the vaccines aren't recommended, insurance companies
may very well not pay for them.
You know, most healthy older kids are at
low risk for serious complications from COVID and
most parents haven't been getting their kids vaccinated,
but some parents still want to immunize their
kids, you know, to protect them against even
mild disease and long COVID and from bringing
the virus home to vulnerable family members like,
you know, grandma and grandpa, pregnant women are
at very high risk of serious complications from
the virus.
And that's not all their newborn babies are
in great danger of getting really sick from
COVID.
And they're too young to get the shots
themselves.
The only way to protect them is to
vaccinate their moms while they're pregnant.
So the babies can get antibodies in the
womb.
The said little brother Mengele.
Come on, man.
There is no evidence.
This shot works at all.
There's no evidence.
The other thing, the shot doesn't work.
There's no evidence that it does anything positive
other than the actual evidence as compiled in
this meta study compiled of peer reviewed reports,
which CBS Austin miraculously reported on that.
That is the evidence that it doesn't do
much for you.
In fact, they can do harm.
And we were lied to.
And these people, I'm sorry.
And they're continuing to lie, shave their heads
and walk them down the street naked.
No, you should star and feather them and
walk them down the street naked.
It'd be better.
So, um, before I go to the podcast,
a portion of our deconstruction, I, I, I
just have to have to play a couple
of clips here from broth.
Because he brought in Lena when who's back
on the scene, who was a liar during
COVID.
Trump administration officials led by health and human
services secretary, Robert F.
Kennedy, Jr. Claimed to have figured out why
so many American children are overweight, sick, and
don't behave.
They make their case in what's called the,
uh, Maha report, uh, make our children healthy
again, close quote.
And it points to things like ultra processed
foods, environmental chemicals, and warns that kids are
overmedicated while calling for a new look at
vaccines on CNN last night, secretary Kennedy explained
it like this in an interview with Caitlin
Collins.
Yeah, here we go.
This exercise was really a, uh, uh, a
diagnostic exercise.
And it's important because this has never happened
in the federal government where you have all
the agencies recognizing we have a chronic disease
crisis.
This was just the diagnostics 60 days from
now, we put out the prescription.
I'm not quite sure what he meant by
that.
Um, no, I quite understand that, but now
let's bring in Lena.
When I'm joining us now, Dr. Lena, when
she's the author of lifelines, a doctor's journey
in the fight for public health.
Dr. When, as always, thank you so much
for joining us.
What do you think the key takeaways are
from this report?
And what do you expect to see in
some 60 days?
Well, I think that right now, this report
is a bit of a mixed bag because
on the one hand, the public health establishment,
the medical community is in agreement with Robert
F.
Kennedy jr.
About the dangers of ultra processed food.
It's a real problem that 60 to 70
% of the calories that Americans consume are
these chemicals, these additives and substances that are
not good for health that are linked with
obesity, diabetes, heart disease, premature mortality, and so
forth.
So I think it would be a good
thing if their policy prescriptions that aim to
make healthy food.
Hold on.
I have to back it up.
Did she say 60% of the calories?
Oh, good catch.
Let's listen again.
Are these chemicals, these additives and substances that
are not good for health?
No, I think it's okay.
I'll back it up.
She says, she says 60% of the
calories are chemicals.
Let's listen.
Public health establishment.
The medical community is in agreement with Robert
F.
Kennedy jr.
About the dangers of ultra processed food.
It's a real problem that 60 to 70
% of the calories that Americans consume are
these chemicals, these additives.
Wow.
Wow.
I hadn't even caught that.
Holy moly.
Chemicals are not calories.
Typically 60% of the calories are these
chemicals.
Can that even be, can chemicals be calories?
Uh, yeah, some chemicals could, but it would
be, I mean, I don't know how much
you, it's ridiculous what she did on his
face.
That's if you got 1% of the,
you know, because calories is what, is your,
your power, your weapon will burn.
How they determine calories is they, do you
have this little caloric bomb it's called and
you put something in it, in a oxygen
atmosphere and then you burn it and it,
and there's a temperature goes up or down
by so much is the Cal caloric value.
It's a, it's a process that it's kind
of fake, but to have 60% of
your calories from chemicals means you'd have to
have a, you know, like a potload of,
I mean, it has to be all chemicals
you're eating.
Well, that may also be true.
Regardless, you're worried about the COVID shot affordability.
And this is your knowledge that we're, that
we're just eating chemicals.
Where's your priorities lady?
That 60 to 70% of the calories
that Americans consume are these chemicals, these additives
and substances that are not good for health
that are linked with obesity, diabetes, heart disease,
premature mortality, and so forth.
So I think it would be a good
thing if there are policy prescriptions that aim
to make healthy foods, the easy choice like
whole grains or fruits and vegetables.
But on the other hand, there are also
parts of the report that once again, so
doubt on the safety and effectiveness of childhood
immunizations.
I think it's good for Kennedy to be
talking about pesticides and toxins and eliminating those
things from the water, but he seems to
also imply that childhood immunizations, which are lifesaving
and prevent kids from getting ill and dying
that somehow they're part of these toxins too.
And I think it's for that reason that
many of us in medical and public health
are very skeptical of what those policy prescriptions
are and whether some of them are going
to be rehashing of what Kennedy has already
expressed as his anti-vaccine beliefs.
Anti-vaccine beliefs.
Are you going to Hammond Hall through the
whole clips?
Cause that'll just stop them then if you're
all, that's all you're going to do.
Or you do it all the time to
me.
Not like you do.
You have a special way of doing it.
The problem is I'll tell you what the
problem, what's the problem.
The problem is I'm looking her up on
wiki and reading her background and I'm right
on the mic.
You're just going, Oh, this is horrible.
Okay.
All right.
Apology accepted.
I get it.
I also Dr. Wen want to get your
reaction to something else that the secretary Kennedy
told CNN's Caitlin Collins last night about his
approach to trusting scientific experts.
Watch it.
Listen to this.
Trusting the experts is not a feature of
science.
It's not a feature of democracy.
It's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.
The what we should do is trust the
science and we are going to do the
science and the science is going to be
replicable and replicable and it's going to be
gold standard.
People should not be taking medical advice.
I'm somebody who is not a physician, but
they should and they should also be skeptical
about any medical advice.
They need to do their own research.
Ah, there's your talking point and do your
own research.
Do your own research.
Yes.
No good.
What he said.
Now I understand what he's saying.
What he's saying is we're going to get
a real study out there.
I want to give you the truth in
about six months.
I think that's what he's saying.
Dr. Wen, what do you think of that
message?
Well, I'm confused by that message.
And I bet that many people are confused
about this too.
Look, I'm a clinician.
I talk to my colleagues who are physicians
and nurses all the time.
And yes, we do our own research and
it's not about you doing your research lady.
Yes.
We look at scientific articles and we push
through them.
We look at recommendations, but the thing is
there are lots of different clinical topics.
It's not reasonable to expect that even clinicians
and scientists look at medical literature all the
time.
Hedging, hedging, backpedaling a little.
I didn't see those reports.
And parse through the literature ourselves on every
single topic.
We need the news media to the Fort
Wolfe.
You're the one that tells us what's in
those reports.
This is the reason why we looked at
guidelines.
There are medical organizations.
Oh, this is for that.
This is fantastic.
We can't read all the research.
We just read the summary.
The guidelines from the approved organizations.
All the time.
Like Robert Woods Johnson Foundation.
And parse through the literature ourselves on every
single topic.
This is the reason why we looked at
guidelines.
There are medical organizations that synthesize these data.
By the way, we look up to the
CDC or at least throughout history.
We have looked up to the CDC, to
the FDA, to compile these studies for us
and to make recommendations.
We have always, throughout history, depended on our
federal agencies as the gold standard for expertise,
for information, for unbiased scientific data.
Yeah, as long as you're run by the
right people.
Exactly.
Kennedy literally said the gold standard.
So when it's a gold standard from a
different person in charge of the CDC, you're
not going to believe it.
And so it's very confusing and quite distressing,
actually, to hear the person who heads up
these agencies, to whom these agencies report, now
say that expertise cannot be trusted.
I'm confused because it leaves people wondering, well,
what sources of information can I trust?
Good point.
Good point.
He woke up.
Good point.
Good point.
Last clip short.
Secretary Kennedy also plans to commission a study
to find the cause of autism.
And he says we should do that by
March.
Do you think that's a realistic time?
No.
No, because we have already had decades of
studies looking at autism that have so far
found that there is a complex interplay between
genetics and environmental factors.
And if anything, these studies point to the
fact that autism is determined before a child
is born.
What?
This is new.
It's determined before a child is born?
Who proves that?
Well, it's probably just making it up as
she goes along or somebody said that or
what was that?
Well, logical conclusion.
So it happens before the child is born
when you're sticking needles into the mother.
Just a thought.
The fact that autism is determined before a
child is born.
And so if you're looking at environmental exposure,
you would be looking at in utero exposure.
And so for any studies to be done,
we would require tracking pregnant women through their
pregnancy to the early years of a child's
life.
I mean, so we're talking years of study.
And if Kennedy is now saying that we're
going to have results within months, then one
wonders if there are already predetermined conclusions and
these so-called studies are just window dressing.
Thank you very much.
Beautiful.
So now we go to the podcast because
this is what you will not hear on
the mainstream.
This is Gary Breka's podcast.
Gary Breka, a very famous dietitian, I believe.
He's the one that I think advised Alex
Jones on his latest health journey with some
astounding results.
And this is all about pharmaceutical advertising.
Won't hear that on the mainstream media, of
course.
That's the difficult part for an agency like
yours to get into the private sector and
effectuate the private sector that way unless, of
course, there was some kind of executive order
that disallowed pharma from advertising directly to the
consumer.
Which do you see a day where that
could be a possibility?
There's a bad Supreme Court case recently that
equated pharmaceutical advertising with freedom of speech and
doubted it with a limited First Amendment protection.
There's still things that we can do, and
we're working on that.
So we think that we're going to be
able to do something, but I'm not going
to talk more about that.
And the issue here that people understand, because
a lot of the people who support us
are for freedom of speech.
Absolutely.
But this is a very different issue because,
first of all, the pharmaceutical companies are advertising
products that are being paid for by the
taxpayer.
When they advertise all these drugs on television,
the person who's going to get the bill
for that drug is my agency, and the
taxpayer is going to end up paying for
it.
Hey, hey, wait a minute.
That doesn't make any sense.
The other thing about pharmaceutical ads is the
company gets a tax deduction on them.
But we're paying for the ads, and we're
paying for the product.
When you think about that, it's mind-numbing.
We're paying for the ads, and we're paying
for the product.
And then we're paying for all the diseases
that that product is causing.
And so it's different than any other kind
of product, and it's regulated differently.
And those regulations, a drug company does not
have carte blanche from FDA to advertise any
product it wants and there are conditions that
we can place on it.
And those are some of the things that
we're looking at.
There it is.
Oh, yeah, you can advertise.
You just can't advertise that.
Well, here's one of the ads.
I'm going to start doing this again, adding
it back to the show.
You got ads?
The side effects.
No, not the ads.
The side effects.
The disclaimers, yes.
Now, this is the side effects.
Wait, this is the side effects for Eventi.
I think is the name of it.
It's a bone product you're supposed to take
to make your bones stronger.
A boner product.
She said the Avenity she's taking builds new
bones.
Builds new bones.
So, yeah, we still bike, babysit, and brunch
with the ladies.
Avenity can increase risk of heart attack, stroke,
or death from a heart problem.
Tell your doctor if you have had a
heart attack or stroke.
Do not take Avenity if you have low
blood calcium or are allergic to it, as
serious events have occurred with Avenity.
Signs include rash, hives, swelling of the face
or throat, which may cause difficulty in swallowing
or breathing, muscle spasms or cramps, numbness, or
tingling.
Tell your doctor about severe jawbone problems, as
they have been reported with Avenity.
Report hip, groin, or thigh pain.
Unusual thighbone fractures have occurred with Avenity.
Beautiful.
Yum.
I missed the anal leakage in that.
Too bad.
Weird thighbone fractures.
How do you get that?
It just snaps.
What?
Meanwhile, also not reported, I have no clips,
the Cleveland Clinic has just reported.
Do we think they're any good, Cleveland Clinic?
Are they any good?
I don't know anything about them offhand.
They probably do a lot of gender reassignment
surgery.
A study from the world-renowned Cleveland Clinic
has confirmed that flu vaccines slash overall life
expectancy slash...
Oh, that's no good.
You can't say that.
A study who found that people who received
the seasonal shots have a 26.9%
higher chance of getting the flu compared to
the unvaccinated.
That's the best part.
I know that.
That's a fact.
We're not going to see that.
You're not going to see that on CBS.
No, no, no.
But, man, oh, man, oh, man, oh, man,
oh, man.
And this is what Steve and Stephanie were
saying.
This was kind of interesting because, remember, I
went on Rogan the first time two weeks
before the lockdown.
In fact, what's his face?
Who was that?
You went on before Rogan got the COVID?
Oh, no, it was two weeks.
Remember there were some people on the plane
when I flew out to L.A. with
Gucci masks on?
I don't remember much.
Yeah, but Osterholm, he was on the show
after me.
I saw him in the hallway, and he
went on Rogan to make everybody afraid of
how we're all going to die from this
COVID thing.
So they had seen me on Rogan.
They found no agenda because they were freaking
out.
He said that we were freaking out for
two weeks, and then we started listening to
you guys, and we're like, oh, all right,
makes a little bit more sense now.
So that's what happens when you listen to
M5M.
Well, I'm actually writing an essay for my
Substack column on the origins of our attitude,
and I have to go back because I
still remember when the thing first broke out.
We followed it very carefully, and you actually
asked me, you think the whole thing's a
hoax at the very beginning.
And we started with the Washington State person,
but what happened immediately was when they started
doing the report, what got my attention right
off the bat was they started doing the
reports on the network news of all the
ambulances and all, and they had a hospital
in New York, and there's all these ambulances
backed up, and they were coming in up
and down the street, and they were bringing
in huge truck trailers so they could keep
the dead corpses in there, if you remember
that.
And a guy on YouTube, it wasn't up
for long.
I remember the guy on YouTube.
The guy on YouTube a few hours later
is in the front of the same hospital.
There's nothing going on, and he talks about
it, and he says, this is a YouTuber,
and he's saying, where's everybody?
Where are all these ambulances?
There's nothing going on here.
And that was like, whoa, this is pretty
dubious.
And it was obvious that he had seen
the reports on NBC and ABC and CBS,
and then he went to the same hospital.
There was nothing going on.
Nobody paying much attention to anything.
There wasn't ambulances lined up.
It was all fake.
And then, if you remember shortly thereafter, Trump
sent a Liberty ship or a hospital ship
to New York.
Not one person used it.
Ever.
Javits Center converted to a field hospital.
I don't think that was used either.
Yeah, not used.
So right there, that's when, if you know
those two things, that happened right away.
Well, also there was the anonymous nurse, and
she was saying, you know, people coming in,
and they just have a flu, but they're
so freaked out.
They've got elevated heart rate.
They're just freaking out because of what they've
been told.
And then they're putting them on vents.
That was the thing.
You put them on a vent, and that
was it.
I think there was maybe two cases where
someone de-intubated themselves by ripping the tube
out and leaving the hospital and living a
happy life.
So it's, I mean, we kind of come
across as cavalier talking about it, but that
is the fact.
It's horrible.
Yeah, and one thing led to another.
There should be pitchforks in the street over
this.
Well, you know, not everybody came to the
same conclusion because they weren't paying attention.
They were going along with your people that
go to that hairdresser.
But I saw the pain in Steve's eyes
last night.
He says, it was the J&J, so
that's my only saving grace.
He was like, I was afraid I was
going to die.
And there's lots of people, people listening right
now who think.
I'm hopeful that, you know, the dosages were
also different.
There was probably a lot of saline being
injected.
We're hopeful of that, that if nothing has
happened to you now, you're probably going to
be okay.
But, man, and the turbo cancers, all of
this stuff, it's just ignored.
It's ignored.
It's still ignored.
By PBS and NPR, the reports that we've
played.
Everybody, everybody.
And the mainstream media and the New York
Times and the Washington Post.
Nobody has really wanted to address this.
No.
Because they have to admit that they were
part of a scam.
So on that note, just a reminder about
how untruthful, dishonest M5M is.
This is Joe Scarborough of the Joe and
Mika Morning Joe show on MSNBC.
During the crisis of confidence over President Biden.
And he told us, he told us to
record it, so I did.
Start your tape right now, because I'm about
to tell you the truth.
And F you if you can't handle the
truth.
This version of Biden, intellectually, analytically, is the
best Biden ever.
Not a close second.
And I've known him for years.
The Brzezinski's have known him for 50 years.
If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say
it.
Okay, so if it wasn't the truth, I
wouldn't say it.
And now when he gets called out on
it, he deploys, defend, deny and deflect.
Looking back at that, do you say, well,
it was misleading to say best by never
without caveating and say, except on the days
when he's not the best Biden.
But I never, I never saw those days.
You did.
You did because you saw him address a
dead congresswoman and you saw him in South
Carolina.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I can show you the
RNC clip reels.
There were plenty of days in public when
he when he was not the best Biden
ever.
And of course, he stumbled and he stumbled.
He stumbled and bumbled around, Mark.
I mean, yeah, he he certainly did.
Donald Trump and other politicians did.
There it is.
But it's actually the same cases.
A lot of times when I've gone in
and talked to Donald Trump, we're going to
Donald Trump.
And I've heard the media narrative around Donald
Trump.
And certainly I've been very critical of Donald
Trump.
And when I leave, I have a better
understanding, just like Jeffrey Goldberg did a couple
of weeks on better understanding of where Donald
Trump is mentally.
If Donald Trump is is losing it, like,
you know, people have said through the years
or not.
And so, again, am I going to look
at a clip that's gone viral and and
and pay more attention to that than two
and a half, three hours?
I had with a guy one on one
going around the world.
No, I'm just not going to.
Are those are some of the clips bad?
Yeah, they certainly they certainly are bad.
I can understand why people would see that
without the context.
Can't even admit it.
At least Jake Tapper says, I'm humbled.
I'm humbled by it.
Liar, liar, pants on fire.
It's just a lie.
It's all lies.
And then so here's another one.
This was my favorite.
I'm sure I thought I had that last
clip you played.
I believe that was Halperin.
I think so.
Yes.
Yeah, it was Halperin because he's got his
podcast.
He's bringing I he is doing a about
face.
He's trying to get back.
You know, Halperin was with with John Heilman,
the bald guy.
Yeah, you're but I know him.
Let's put it that way.
Oh, yeah.
And we can order for dinner.
So he's not a friend.
Now, help.
But I know him and he's I don't
I know the guy.
He's gone.
He stayed with the with the left and
and Halperin who was who was marginalized because
he was a me too.
Me too by the group because he slapped
some woman on the ass or something.
Who knows what he did?
And he's been trying to get back in
the good graces, but he can't with the
Democrats.
So he's very slowly becoming going totally moderate
trying to make amends in some way.
That was part of it.
But it's on a podcast.
And this is this is the beauty of
what's with the media money.
Smart money.
What money?
No.
The smart no money.
So here's another thing.
We all saw it.
We all saw exactly what happened.
But no, I don't believe you're lying eyes
and the buzz over what French President Emmanuel
Macron called joking with my wife.
Video shows Macron taking hands to the face
as he's about to get off a plane
in Vietnam yesterday.
Moments later, we see those hands belong to
his wife, Brigitte.
The scene prompted one French newspaper to ask
slap or squabble.
Macron says the couple was play fighting play.
When's the last time you were play fighting
with your wife and you play slapped her
in the face or she were she play
slapped you?
Never.
Never.
Of course not.
What is this?
That is literally how abused people speak or
abusers even abusers.
Oh, my second wife choked me the first
time she came to.
Oh, no, I was talking to my girlfriend.
It all happens all the time.
What?
What?
While you're sleeping?
So we know my wife and I have
a mutual friend who is a comedian who
whose mom was like that, like your previous
wife.
She was had this personality disorder.
Borderline personality disorder.
Yeah, probably.
And she would go after people.
She'd grab it.
She's out of the blue.
She'd snap and grab a knife out of
the kitchen and try to stab you.
It's just fun.
It's just playing around.
Man, just playing around.
Just playing around.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Okay.
I think of a number of women I
actually know who are not in the carnal
sense, but I just know them.
Yeah.
Have they had dinner at your house?
Some of them.
None recently.
But just beside the point is that I
wouldn't trust going to bed with them because
I always get the feeling they stab you
in your sleep.
Yes.
You just get this sense.
I don't know.
This girl is going to stab me in
my sleep.
So I'll be sleeping and she's going to
have a, something's going to get on her
mind.
She's going to go in the kitchen, grab
a knife and stab me.
This is, I believe there are people out
there that would do that.
Yes.
Well, these days it's a trend.
We discussed it a couple of shows ago.
Hey, would you please shoot me in the
head while I'm sleeping?
Sure.
Sure.
No problem.
Sure.
I'll be glad to shoot you in the
head.
What?
So here we have all the networks, all
the public broadcasters, all obfuscating, all lying, literal
lies about accessibility and denying access.
By the way, not a single one of
these outfits interviewed anyone from the insurance company.
Hey, here's a journalistic question.
Are you going to not pay for people
who want the COVID shot when it's off
the schedule?
It's a simple question.
I'm sure you can get an insurance company
executive to talk about it.
Yeah.
And not one report that we played it.
Well, I don't know.
We play what, how many, 10 clips from
different sources.
And not one journalist quote unquote, journalists had
done that simple footwork, which just requires a
phone call.
So you have that example, multiple examples.
You have Chuck Scarborough denying, defending, deflecting.
You have Jake Tapper can't admit that he
excoriated people for even suggesting that Biden was
in cognitive decline.
Now writing a book about, Oh, it was
covered up.
We know.
And we have the, certainly the French media
just playing around, man.
He didn't slap him.
It was just playing around.
And so what does this all lead up
to Scott Pelly's commencement speech, but in this
moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule
of law is under attack.
Journalism is under attack.
Universities are under attack.
Freedom of speech is under attack and insidious
fear.
Is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our
homes, and into our private thoughts provided by
you.
The fear to speak in America, in England,
power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives.
They can make criminals heroes and heroes.
Criminals power can change the definition of the
words we use to describe reality or vaccines.
Diversity is now described as illegal equity.
What is to be shunned?
Inclusion is a dirty word.
Get off the stage.
White man.
This is an old playbook.
My friends.
Oh, Hitler.
There's nothing new in this.
My friends.
Thank you.
Pollute those kids minds on their way out
of school.
Good job, Scott Pelly.
You know, I'm surprised this guy's still working
there working for CBS.
He has come out with two editorials on
60 minutes.
First, when the guy quits, one of the
producers quits and he excoriates, he excoriates the
company.
Then he recently excoriated the company again and
he's doing what he can to do the
way I see it to queer the deal,
to sell Paramount CBS, the whole thing that's
his Sherry Redstone wants to get, you know,
she wants to move the company away from
her to get rid of it.
And he is queering the deal.
He's screwing it up for her, for Sherry
Redstone.
And she lets him work there.
She hasn't just come in and said, Hey,
you're out is the queering.
You reference anything related to LGBTQ queer.
I don't think the term queering the deal
is understood anymore.
I'm I agree with you.
And I think it's a perfect use, but
everybody must know what queering the deal means.
No, no, no, no, only boomers like us
get it.
Okay.
Well, queering the deal means you go out
of your way to screw up a merger
and acquisition, or you do something, you know,
you like, you create a poison pill or
you go out and you, you bring out
some facts that do that screw up the
possibility of, of something going through.
You try, you use submarine, you screw up,
you do whatever can.
And the easy term for it is queering.
Well, he wants to be very careful.
He could wake up with a horse head
in his bed.
I think Sherry, Sherry Redstone, Redstone is, is
no joke.
There's a lot of Redstone is a kick
-ass person.
I'm just, yeah, he could be dead.
Well, I mean, the guy shows up dead.
So, uh, over to the media, uh, of
course, NPR is now taking president Trump to
court.
When NPR is in the news, we report
on ourselves as we would any other organization.
So we invaded NPR president with bias lies.
When NPR is in the news, we report
on ourselves as we would any other organization.
So we invaded NPR president and CEO, Catherine
Marr to walk downstairs from her office.
I already played this clip.
No, I don't think so.
These are my clips.
No, I mean, I didn't already play this
clip like a month ago.
Is this new?
I think it's new.
I don't think so.
I think so.
It's from NPR.
Consider this.
I think it's new.
No, I don't think so.
Well, let's play it.
Play it.
You can look it up on Bing.io.
You'll see that it was played.
Catherine, welcome.
Lovely to be here.
The lawsuit cites NPR's first amendment, right?
Quote, to be free from government attempts to
control private speech, as well as retaliation aimed
at punishing and chilling protected speech.
End quote.
Can you explain in plain English what that
means?
What the thrust of this lawsuit is?
You played a PBS interview.
I think.
I think it was the NPR interview.
This is where she springs up to 1%.
Well, let's listen.
NPR is a private organization and we have
the right as a media organization to make
our own editorial choices about what it is
that we cover and how we cover it.
And what we found in the executive order
was that the order discusses the need to
end federal funding based on the accusation that
we are not presenting fair, unbiased news.
So from our perspective, what that means is
that the order implies that an NPR needs
to change its editorial posture.
If we are to receive federal funding, it's
very clear from the public broadcasting act that
public media is meant to be in an
independent source of information.
And in fact, it is protected in the
statute that established the corporation for public broadcasting.
We believe that this is an infringement on
NPR's first amendment rights, but it is also
an infringement on those rights of our station,
both their editorial first amendment rights and their
rights to associate with NPR.
If they are unable to use their funds
to choose to air our programming.
Yeah, this is different.
I don't think that you had these clips.
No, it's the same clip.
Really?
This one too, then.
So the argument, as I understand what you're
saying is that NPR, like any other news
organization in the United States is free to
choose what it covers, how it covers it,
what language we use to do so.
That's correct.
And even though we receive federal funding, we
are still protected by those same rights.
There's a line that jumped out at me
that I marked in the lawsuit and I'll
quote it.
It is not always obvious when the government
has acted with a retaliatory purpose in violation
of the first amendment, but this wolf comes
as a wolf.
Antonin Scalia.
Yeah.
It's a great line.
The late conservative Supreme court justice Scalia.
What does it mean here?
In this instance, it is evident from the
president's executive order, as well as statements released
by the white house and prior statements by
the president that we are being punished for
our editorial choices.
I think that's an interesting way of looking
at the executive order, but I can see
where that would be their only defense.
What about PBS?
Because the executive order targeted funding to NPR
and PBS.
Why is PBS not suing alongside NPR?
Well, PBS is a separate organization.
We know from their statement when the executive
order came out that they similarly find this
order to be unlawful.
Do you worry about further retaliation?
We're witnessing with Harvard.
What happens when an institution decides to stand
up and fight back?
We definitely thought about what the consequences might
be when we move forward to file the
suit.
And I should say that we are not
choosing to do this out of politics.
We are choosing to do this as a
matter of necessity and principle.
All of our rights that we enjoy in
this democracy flow from the first amendment, freedom
of speech, association, freedom of the press.
When we see those rights infringed upon, we
have an obligation to challenge them.
And that's, what's at stake here.
Retaliation is something we all think about.
And yet the principle of what we do
and how we do it, we have to
defend our editorial integrity and the integrity of
those rights.
From people listening, will NPR sound any different
as this plays out?
Please.
No, I don't believe so.
No, we've still got the same Neumann mics,
the same dead sound and the same dead
voices.
People listening, will NPR sound any different as
this plays out?
No, I don't believe so.
The entire point of going forward with this
litigation is to protect our editorial independence.
And as you started this segment by saying
there is a firewall between the newsroom and
management, such as myself, I believe that the
way that we do our work and the
way that we are successful.
The firewall in journalism is supposed to be
advertising and editorial, not management.
But she is all about the advertising.
It's her job to bring in the advertising
underwriting.
She's conflated.
What she's done is she's redefined management as
advertising.
That's correct.
Now I'll say this is probably new.
This is the same script, but it's newer
because they didn't bring in.
The money.
This lawsuit is from a couple of days
ago.
Yeah.
And they didn't bring in the 1%
thing, which I think is missing, which still
should be emphasized.
The government only provides according to them, 1
% of their finance.
So who cares?
What's your problem lady?
Exactly.
11 seconds left.
As you started this segment by saying there
is a firewall between the newsroom and management,
such as myself, I believe that the way
that we do our work and the way
that we are successful is by pursuing journalism.
That is excellent.
And so I don't think we'll sound different.
I think we'll sound exactly as we are
fair, responsible, non-partisan and seeking the facts.
You're right.
It was me.
I'm sorry.
That was me.
That was me.
I'll admit it.
That was me.
It was telegram and it was still open.
I forgot to close it.
That was me.
And who cares about NPR?
There was a windows alert sounds and we're
sorry to wrap up my M five M
clips.
Telegram.
Oh, you have to.
What do you mean?
You have to.
Oh, that's where, dude, you want to get
news, go to telegram.
You got to subscribe and listen to the
telegram groups.
First of all, I'm 90% of our
producers around the world have no agenda telegram
groups.
So I don't use it for instant messaging,
although void zero seems to prefer that.
I've got, um, no agenda, get my nation
low lands.
Uh, no agenda sharing is caring.
But then you've got stuff like, um, N
a Texas, uh, no agenda, ghetto.
I, I I'm a member of all these
groups, but I want to see what's going
on.
But then of course you have to have
the, uh, some of the crazy things, you
know, I'm like, uh, what's that nut jobs
name.
Can't even see her.
Um, that job.
Yeah.
She's a nut job.
Uh, Tori says, see, there it goes.
Tori says, Tori says, Oh, she's a nut
job.
We've played clips of Tori says, so you've,
you've got a, you know, this is, I
don't have to do anything.
Uh, Hollywood in distress.
Hollywood.
Well, it's more than just the iconic Boulevard
here in Los Angeles.
It represents a massive industry, $115 billion a
year, just in California.
And today Hollywood is under threat.
The movie business is going through a crisis.
Like it hasn't seen since the down of
television back in the 60 first, there was
COVID which shut down production for months.
And in 2023 came the actors and writers
strike 148 days of complete shutdown.
The longest in Hollywood history.
In the end, the strikers got some benefits,
but after that, well, nothing went the way
anyone expected.
Los Angeles is down about 40% over
the last two years.
I think we're down 38%.
We were down 20% in 2023 and
it fell another 18% in 2024.
So we had to downsize.
People had to do two jobs, three jobs
just to, so that we didn't, we wouldn't
close our doors.
Studios are not just filming less.
They're filming somewhere else where it's cheaper.
Take this studio in New Mexico.
For example, they've got cutting edge tech and
local incentives that let productions get up to
30% of their budget back.
The only way for Hollywood to survive.
Well, LA has to get competitive again.
There's talk of new tax credits for local
production.
So how will this disaster movie end?
Well, we'll see if Hollywood still knows how
to pull off a good plot twist.
No mention of the streamers.
No mention that Amazon bought MGM.
No mention that all of the award winning
shows and movies all come from streaming entities.
They don't, they don't, this bothers me to,
to Nick.
Well, I mean, I don't care.
I'm not getting any money from these people,
but how much does it really bother you?
It doesn't really bother me that much, but
it bothers me just from a marketing sense.
Why would you broadcast the Emmys on broadcast
TV and give awards to that?
Nothing.
That's on broadcast TV.
Exactly.
I mean, they like these guys know to
pat themselves on the back and here, give
me, you give me an award.
I'll give you an award.
Let's do this.
And that, but they can't promote their own
business properly.
Well, they can't get the apple should win.
Nothing ever.
Yeah.
But they, first of all, they have great
shows.
They pump them out one after another and
everybody works on them.
So they, you know, it's like it's, you're
right.
Why do we care?
Why do we care?
We're podcasters.
Well, why would we care?
Let's listen to a clip from, uh, from,
uh, what's her name?
Uh, Sarah, uh, not, no, uh, Kyra, Kyra,
Kyra Sedgwick, uh, Keira, Keira, Keira, Kyra, Keira,
who is a Hollywood actress making tons of
money.
They have a house in New York city.
They have, uh, who she married to Kevin
Bacon.
Right on.
So you got her and they got, they
got a farm in Connecticut.
They're living the life.
They've got tons of money.
The royalties.
He lost a lot of money with, uh,
with that, uh, Madoff deal.
Remember Kevin Bacon lost a lot of money
lost his shirt had all his money with
Madoff.
Well that indicates some some stupidity I guess
and and I think the real stupidity is
listening to this woman a Hollywood type and
this is what they think and this is
she might as well go to your hairdresser
hey doing I felt like it was important
to get on the blower.
The blower?
She had to get on the blower.
Wasn't the blower slang for the telephone I
get on the blower we get on the
horn?
Maybe I don't know it's an old phrase
that's lost to me.
And by the way who cares that you're
on the blower Kira Sedgwick was this on
tik-tok was this on where'd you pick
this up?
I believe this is tik-tok.
And talk a little bit about how I'm
feeling and wondering how you're feeling about the
state of our union.
I'm finding myself pretty scared about a lot
of things scared about using my rights as
a woman scared about losing my right to
vote as a woman scared about losing autonomy
over my body as a woman scared of
my parents Social Security checks scared of food
banks running out of food and not being
able to replenish because they're no longer getting
federal funding.
Yes the federal government can use improvement and
there's a lot of things that they've done
right over the decades.
So I think the answer to being freaked
out for me is about community and I
feel excited that that we're coming together as
a nation on Saturday.
You can look it up in your area
it's Hands Off March and I'm just gonna
go and hear what I hear and feel
less alone in the world because I feel
like that's really important.
So if you're worried about anything that's going
on in the world like I would suggest
that you might want to get out there
and have your body counted and your voice
heard and we'll probably learn a lot and
help each other just by being together.
Oh my goodness move to Canada.
Move to Canada.
I don't get it she is worried about
her rights as a woman and she's worried
about this as a woman and this and
that.
Who's attacking anything that's got anything to do
with her?
That's code for abortion.
Your rights as a woman.
That's what that's code for.
She's got plenty of rights.
Nah she doesn't have the same rights as
you.
California's got wide open abortion.
You can have an abortion to the last
second around here.
In your car.
In your car while driving.
I mean come on.
Hey speaking of Canada the King of Canada
showed up because we all know he's really
the King of Canada.
He really owns it.
He's really in charge.
Had a little speech.
It is with a deep sense of pride
and pleasure.
Pleasure.
That my wife and I join you here
today.
It was the main event of a historic
visit.
King Charles delivered the first throne speech from
a sitting monarch in decades.
His remarks and royal visit crafted to send
a message.
All Canadians can give themselves far more than
any foreign power on any continent can ever
take away.
The King never mentioned Donald Trump by name
but he nodded to the subject on many
Canadians minds.
Taunting tariffs and annexation threats from the US
president.
As the anthem reminds us the true north
is indeed strong and free.
But this evening Trump posted on social media
about Canada having to pay for an air
missile defense system if it remains a separate
but unequal nation.
While offering again to make Canada the 51st
state.
The speech from the throne outlines the government's
parliamentary priorities including plans to lower income taxes,
trade freely between provinces and make it easier
to build major energy projects including possibly pipelines.
What we're going to do is fast track
the approval.
Truly fast track the approval of those projects.
More can be done.
More should be done and from our perspective
more will be done.
So President Trump of course jumped on his
truth social to post in all caps about
this and the global news global news picked
it up because he's back on that 51st
state thing again.
The Prime Minister having to respond to more
of Trump's 51st state rhetoric after the president
once again turned to truth social to say
it will cost Ottawa zero dollars to join
his proposed US missile defense system the whole
Golden Dome if Canada joins the US.
He also went on to say Canada is
considering the offer.
Right that prompted the Prime Minister's office to
put out a statement saying in part.
By the way rule number one in business
just go out there and say publicly yeah
they're considering my offer it's really good.
Wait wait he's not lying.
No they are considering it.
Because once they heard the offer there they
have to be considering it because the consideration
is no.
But it's consideration regardless.
Canada joins the US.
He also went on to say Canada is
considering the offer.
All right that prompted the Prime Minister's office
to put out a statement saying in part
the Prime Minister has been clear at every
opportunity including in his conversations with President Trump
that Canada is an independent sovereign nation and
will remain one and for more on all
of this let's bring in Global's Reggie Cicchini
who joins us from Washington once again this
morning.
Look it's possible Jeff and Carolyn that there
was something in the speech that might have
you know triggered something in Donald Trump but
there's also a possibility here that this post
to social media were just thoughts from within
the executive residence and that's because Donald Trump
often likes to be his own press secretary
and put his thoughts out on social media.
Look dude dude hello 2015 reporting that he's
got all he's just pulled out old school.
Trump is his own PR company his own
this he's trolling you.
Social media were just thoughts from within the
executive residence and that's because Donald Trump often
likes to be his own press secretary and
put his thoughts out on social media.
Look there were a couple of different moments
during the speech yesterday from the King that
may have done something to put Donald Trump
into a mood number one saying that Canada
can give themselves more than any foreign power
or any continent can ever take away.
Obviously kind of an indirect hit at Trump's
target of the 51st state but there was
also the comments both from the King and
from the Prime Minister that Canada is looking
to enter a European armament act that would
see the continent and countries involved spending 1
.25 trillion dollars on defense over the next
five years.
That could be something that also potentially angered
Donald Trump.
He has been critical of Canada's spending when
it comes to NATO.
He has said that Canada would cease to
exist as a country if the American military
wasn't there but with the Prime Minister saying
that more than 50 cents of every dollar
spent on defense is going into the United
States and that needs to change.
There are a variety of different reasons that
Donald Trump may have gone to social media
but again it could simply be because he
wanted the narrative changed to focus on him.
It's about the money.
It's about the military spending.
That's what started with and that's what it's
about.
It's about spending on the Golden Dome.
Canada is going to have to pay if
you want to be under our Golden Dome.
I love the whole idea.
That's pretty much it.
You nailed it.
The Golden Dome.
Hey man, do your 60 Minutes Australia thing
because I love that.
I watched that whole thing.
I loved it.
Yes, 60 Minutes Australia which is actually a
good show and we have I think, do
we have it in the show notes?
Yes and it's not 60 minutes.
It's like 20 minutes.
It's not very long.
It was a spin-off originally of the
CBS but they've kept the journalistic standards high
and they have all kinds of just really
interesting interviews and stuff and they've got this
woman who's coming out with a book and
she's being sued and everything which is always
what you want if you want to get
the publicity.
Sarah Williams.
She's got a book, a slamming meta and
Facebook.
And Sheryl Sandberg in particular.
And that's the clip.
She actually got fired from Facebook.
She was there for a decade or more
and then she accused some dude of hitting
on her constantly, one of her bosses, and
they fired her.
Yes, of course.
Which is what you do.
It's Silicon Valley.
She's the troublemaker.
Get her out of here.
But this one commentary that she had about
a lean in.
Yes.
I just I thought was worth clipping and
here it is.
It's part of this broader thing at Meta
where the people at the top have so
much power and they don't really care about
the employees or what's normal or boundaries.
It's about giving them what they want.
No one gets to the corner office by
sitting on the side, not at the table.
Sheryl Sandberg was Meta's chief operating officer.
She wrote the book Lean In, which launched
a feminist movement to improve corporate culture for
women in the workplace.
We're going to lean in, believe in ourselves
and teach our daughters that they can do
anything our sons can do.
Sarah worked closely with Sheryl and says her
behavior at times went against many of the
things the COO publicly campaigned for.
In private jets, there's often a bedroom for
the principal at the back of the jet.
She asked me to come to bed with
her and that wasn't something I felt comfortable
doing.
I just think that you should not get
into bed with your boss unless you unless
you want to, which in this case I
did not.
That's just bizarre.
On the jet?
Correct, on the jet.
Sarah says she felt uncomfortable but wasn't the
only staff member to be treated the same
way.
Sandberg had a young female assistant who Sarah
says was sent to buy and model thousands
of dollars worth of lingerie.
Even more unusual, Sarah also claims the pair
would stroke each other's hair.
And it's scary to have a child and
have a job because you worry that you're
gonna go on maternity leave and someone is
gonna take your job away.
Sarah admits she always put her work first
and remembers it was certainly the case when
she was nine months pregnant about to have
her first child.
Did you feel so indebted to the company
though that you know you're you're in the
birthing...
You know to be fair, last time we
saw each other six years ago, we we
stroked each other's hair.
I mean you know...
I never touched your hair.
In fact, I'll mention this, I saw somebody
try to touch your hair once.
I got beaten down.
Don't touch my hair!
You're like an old black woman.
But I'm saying that for their protection because
they might break their fingers.
And so at the end of this, by
the way, and people should go to the
show notes and listen to the whole interview,
it's quite interesting.
It's fantastic.
But there's a disclaimer at the end, Sheryl
Sandberg, you know, denies this and it's not
necessarily true.
It could be lies.
Lies.
But it's too good to pass up as
far as I'm concerned and so far as
a good clip's concerned.
So, you know, the way she said it
though, hearing it now for the second time,
you know, maybe she's like, you know, just
come on, we'll just go to sleep.
Just sleep in the bed in the jet,
in the back.
It could have been as kind of innocent
as that, although I don't think I would
say that to any person working for me.
I'll be like, get in the jump seat.
This is my jet.
I'm gonna spread out.
I don't want anybody in the bed with
me.
So it wasn't like I want you to
come to bed with me and have sex
with me.
That was the implication.
Yeah.
You know, it sells books.
It sells books.
It sells books.
It sells the show.
The show is good.
Yeah.
And people should just watch it and think
for them and decide for themselves.
They also blast, they blast the whole system
of taking advantage of people.
I mean, the whole thing that makes Facebook
valuable is what they, the nasty things they
did.
She points out, for example, they would find,
they would keep track of everybody's actions and
when they take, like when a teenage girl
takes off a kind of not a great
flattering picture of herself, when they take off
and they erase photos from the service, that
they take notice of that and say, oh,
this person's, she might be getting depressed or
something and she doesn't like these old images.
Let's send her advertising to take advantage of
it.
And of course, this woman, she says that's
a bad thing.
Send her some likes.
Quick, send her some likes.
She puts it out as, oh, this is
horrible that they're exploiting these poor dummies that
are on Facebook and I'm thinking, what else
would you, what else would you do?
And I don't want to be cavalier about
it, but I am cavalier about it.
If you got somebody, you figure out somebody
is depressed because of their actions on Facebook
because you're tracking them like a dog, which
I don't have a Facebook account, I might
add.
You're tracking them like a dog and then
you figure something out and you send them
an ad.
I mean, that's what advertisers want.
You know, Instagram specifically, I think is a
big driver of bad mental health and a
lot of people can handle it.
No problem.
I agree.
But we were at, so we were in
Nashville and this is the, the K Love
Award, just a national radio station.
They play Christian music and this is very
popular, you know, big, big names, huge hits.
And so we go because they basically have
six concerts and then an award show.
I'm not part of any of the fandom
of it.
However, as we arrive Friday afternoon, we got
a text message, you're invited to the special
meet and greet.
Now, coming from the music entertainment business, oh,
that's cool.
Can you know, cause we, we got our
tickets last year and you know, so we
were first in line.
Oh, well, maybe we were special.
What does a meet and greet sound like
to you?
It sounds like a backstage gathering of VIPs
getting to meet the performers.
Yeah, exactly.
And there's, you know, some Prosecco, you know,
or some other cheap Andre's, a buffet, some
snacks, you know, some, some M&M's with
only red ones.
Stuffed eggs.
So, no, there was a line of 400
people, but it was moving very fast.
And like, let's just see what this is.
And so we're, we're moving along in the
line and it goes into one of these
ballrooms and it snakes around the room and
there's, there's the band for King and Country.
Are you in the line of 400?
Or are you walking through the line of
400?
We said, let's see what this is about
because we knew it wasn't going to be
what I expected, but you know, let's just
see what, let's see what they were cajoling
us with, with the secret text message.
Oh, what they were trying to sucker you
into, is a better term.
Four or 500 people in this line.
And so a snake, and so there's a
backdrop and there's the band and you come
up to the band, it's your turn and
it's going very fast.
They take your phone.
And I said, no, I'm just going to
take a picture of my wife with the
man.
No, no, we take the pictures.
Okay.
So we stand next to the band.
They do six pictures, hand your phone back,
you move on.
And what I realized is, first of all,
poor, poor band.
I mean, they are standing next to five,
600 people filled with God knows what kind
of germs and goo and germs spitting on
you and breathing on you and touching your
hands.
It's like you just want a constant Purell
dispenser.
And they're really nice about it.
But you know, they're trapped in the, in
this Kayla radio station world, they got nowhere
else to go.
So they're doing what they're supposed to do.
But what really dawned on me, and especially
the same thing at the award show, which
isn't the grand old Opry, you know, it's
a big, big to do, it's a big
television show.
People only want to post on Instagram, I
was here.
Here I am, look at me, look at
me, I'm with king and country.
There are people performing live on stage.
And half the half the crowd is holding
up their phone, looking at their phone screen,
while they're literally 10 feet away from the
performer on stage.
This is a sickness of epic proportion.
I agree.
We used to take pictures on vacation, you
get them back.
I know boomer talk.
Sure.
You get them back and be like, Oh,
this is a fun memory of our time.
Remember that?
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, that was great.
No, this is all about look at me,
look at me, look at me, my life.
I'm cool.
I'm awesome.
Everything's fantastic.
I'm doing great.
I'm doing great.
Look at me.
I'm doing great.
And they're dying, dying on the inside.
They're dying on the yeah, I'm not gonna
argue that and which brings me to a
clip.
Okay.
Wow.
Because I talked about the exploitation of on
Facebook.
And now you talked about these pictures.
So they're all social media.
Here's the kind of the kickback.
This is the visas.
They're gonna stop.
And they're gonna they're deciding this got everybody
in an uproar.
They don't know what to think.
I have been saying this for years.
You can find out more from going to
somebody's Flickr account.
You can go to their thing.
You see him?
Hello, Boomer.
Well, yeah, but I'm saying I said it
during the Flickr era.
Yeah, that's true.
You go to a Flickr account or somebody's
if they have a tick tock is less
less is less revealing, I think than something
like Flickr was where you'd see people at
a party drunk.
And they they post pictures of themselves and
all their drunk friends.
And you'd find out that I don't want
to kind of hire this guy is a
drunk.
But here's what's going on with the visas.
The United States is pausing all new student
and exchange visitor visa interviews, which covers a
broad swath of professions from doctors to camp
counselors, while it studies how to expand screening
of applicants.
Social media posts, according to a State Department
cable obtained by the NewsHour and signed by
Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
This comes as part of a broader crackdown
on immigration and higher education by the Trump
administration.
Yeah, I'm all in.
I'm all in on this.
Absolutely.
Yeah, of course.
You got people posting debt to America, and
then they want a visa.
Yeah, that's basically what they're looking for.
Yeah, it's this crazy.
So get off these networks, people.
Everybody's up in arms about President Trump's pardons.
And he just have a clip for a
couple of them.
Okay, bye.
I have the one about the the reality
show people.
And I don't I don't think this concludes
that when we play this, then you can
take it.
Take the rest of it.
Okay.
Okay.
What you got?
They Trump pardons or pardons?
I don't see it.
Maybe you misspelled it.
I'm just Oh, screwball pardons.
Here we go.
White House said today that President Trump issued
a full pardon for former Congressman Michael Grimm.
The Republican from New York's Staten Island was
convicted in 2014 of tax fraud and related
charges.
The former Marine and FBI agent had admitted
to under reporting wages and revenues from a
restaurant he owned before joining Congress.
He left office in 2015 and served eight
months in prison.
Also today, Trump commuted the sentence of Chicago
gang leader Larry Hoover, who's serving multiple life
sentences for crimes including murder.
But it's unclear how soon he would be
released as he still faces the remainder of
a 200 year sentence on state charges.
Yeah, so there were 26 pardons.
And so a friend of mine is actually
in jail right now awaiting a pardon from
President Trump.
And I witnessed this whole process.
The guy we've talked about on the show.
We haven't.
I don't think we've talked about him on.
We've talked about him after the show.
But it doesn't matter.
It's it's a friend of mine.
And he got wrapped up in a Medicare
fraud scam.
Yeah, he's an innocent bystander, basically.
But the way the Office of Inspector General
and the DOJ went after him was just
unbelievable.
The way this trial went, you know, you
have to prove that someone actually wanted to
commit fraud and was in a conspiracy.
And what they said is, well, you're a
doctor, you're smart, you should have seen the
red flags.
I'm not kidding.
That is that is pretty much how I
can see that happening.
In fact, the constitutional lawyer and I we've
been writing a just in case the pardon
doesn't happen.
I am I am actually going to have
a an amicus brief for his appeal.
Oh, yeah.
No.
And it's good because, you know, how about
the FTX scandal?
Did anyone go to jail?
All those people who got wrapped up in
this huge scan?
How about all those intelligent people who invested
in Elizabeth Holmes?
Did they go to jail?
No.
I mean, there's smart people get duped all
the time.
Good point.
But this in my mind, and there's less
direct evidence for this, but this was a
Department of Justice out of control going for
a pelt.
And it's it's he's a huge Trump guy.
You know, Trump flags on the house and
Trump ties.
And he's got to go to jail.
Got to go to pretty much got it.
That's the way I see it.
You know, there's less evidence of that.
But it's just you can feel that that
played into it, how they they railroaded this
guy.
So we're all praying that that, you know,
he's number twenty seven on the list.
So maybe he'll be next.
But here's an example of the way they
make it sound.
This is who did this report.
This is oh, this is all global news
from Canada.
But you'll get the idea.
They make it sound like he's letting white
criminals go free.
Three years after they were convicted of tax
evasion and bank fraud, reality TV stars Todd
and Julie Chrisley received a presidential pardon, freeing
them from their lengthy prison sentences.
Your parents are going to be free and
clean, and I hope we can do it
by tomorrow.
The president called me.
The Chrisley's daughter got the call after months
of lobbying, which included speaking at the Republican
National Convention.
Due to our public profile and conservative beliefs,
they accused my parents of fraud.
Same story for former Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins
pardoned this week despite being convicted by a
jury of bribery and fraud for accepting cash
in exchange for police badges.
Trump called him the victim of an overzealous
Biden Department of Justice.
Trump's use of the pardon power is part
and parcel of his effort to assert an
executive power over the law.
Under Trump, the pardon process has been turned
on its head.
Pardon seekers and their families have spent millions
on Trump events, lobbied his inner circle and
tried to pitch themselves to the president.
Trump, although he is using the pardon power
in a politicized way, doesn't seem to be
facing the same kind of political repercussions for
that as prior presidents at the Justice Department.
The Trump appointed pardon attorney posted no mega
left behind and is now urging Trump to
consider pardons for others, including the two men
who plotted to kidnap the governor of Michigan,
something Trump says he's now considering.
So when you look at these, this reality
show people who, of course, were, you know,
super mega trumpers and they had, you know,
they had cars and homes is what you
do in a reality show.
They were actually never convicted of tax evasion.
The I.
R.
S.
Admitted under oath they didn't actually owe anything.
Federal agent lied on the stand, admitted it
later, which was recorded.
The prosecutors called them the trumps of the
south, put the dad's face on a dartboard
in their office.
I mean, you know, there was a weaponization
for sure.
And I'd say, how about Hunter Biden?
I mean, talk about tax evasion, illegal gun
purchase while lying about being a drug addict,
smoke and crack on a video, hanging out
with underage girls and screwing them on video.
And, you know, honestly, we just like our
doctor back.
He's a good doctor.
That's that's all the really, really we want.
So anyway, I'm all you.
But, you know, this is this reporting at
this point is out of control.
Big.
This is not reporting what you just told
me about the reality story, because I didn't
pay any attention to any of this.
I said that one clip I got because
I thought was kind of funny.
And but I did see the old Trump's
going to let the Whitmer kidnappers get off.
And then they have this thing about the
reality show.
I saw it go through the news.
I didn't look into it.
I didn't get a clip.
I didn't care.
But now that you bring it up and
you actually deconstructed it and show that the
reporting on it is crap, it just disgusts
me.
And just I'm feeling like Tim Pool.
And just as a side note.
So my friend made a couple hundred thousand
dollars in a four year period signing off
on things that he was told.
It's telemedicine, telehealth.
All right.
So, oh, yeah, we've seen this person.
Here's their chart.
And he signed off on it.
The entire fraud was 70 million dollars.
Those people are in Singapore or God knows
where he gets dinged for 70 million dollars.
You've got to pay that back, by the
way, and sit and sit in federal pen
for 10 years.
So come on.
How does he get dinged for 70 million
when he made a hundred thousand eggs over
four years?
That would be another part of the amicus
brief.
Unfair, unusual, unfair punishment.
Not not in line with the crime, quote
unquote crime.
So anyway, so yes, there was a true
weaponization.
And these people were like they were, you
know, because I was going to be a
character witness and they did not want me.
I mean, they had sidebars in the courtroom.
No, no, no.
We don't want curry.
Don't want curry.
Like I'm like I have the persuasive power
of of God here.
Like, oh, that guy, he's going to ruin
our case.
And so they came to my house to
intimidate me.
But what this is news to me, you
didn't tell this story to me.
No, they the the the OIG came to
the door.
And I was OIG stands for Officer Office
of Inspector General.
So it's the special as a state or
federal, federal, federal.
So you got some feds that came over
the house.
And I wasn't here.
And Tina was here and said, well, we
want to talk to him.
She's like, well, he's not here, but I
don't think he wants to talk to you
anyway.
And then, you know, they were driving around
the neighborhood, driving up the back road.
Come on.
All intimidation.
Of course, I immediately called the constitutional lawyer.
He says, if they come back, you put
him on the phone with me.
I love that guy.
So, yeah, so it really is true that
the intimidation, the weaponization and it was all,
in my opinion, all what you you live
in a in a red town, you're with
Trump.
We're going to get to the guy has
Trump signs around the flag.
No, he's like Trump.
I feel safer in California.
Yeah.
You know, you know what it's like.
One of those guys, his kids are dressed
like Trump's, you know, these kids are doing
Trump.
Yeah, we're going to we're going to run
you in anyway.
Last last couple of clips I have here.
This is, you know, they just have Bitcoin
twenty twenty five in I think it's Vegas.
And everybody turned out for Bitcoin twenty twenty
five.
Everybody showed up.
All the important people were there.
I will first play a clip of J
.D. Vance, our vice president.
But I actually think that where Bitcoin is
going is as a strategically important asset for
the United States over the next decade.
It's one of the reasons why President Trump,
with the help of our great guy, David
Sachs, it's one of the reasons why we
started the Bitcoin Reserve, because we want to
start to put in motion the strategic importance
of Bitcoin for the United States government.
We know that the PRC doesn't like Bitcoin.
The People's Republic of China doesn't like Bitcoin.
Well, we should be asking ourselves, why is
that?
Why is our biggest adversary such an opponent
of Bitcoin?
And if the Communist Republic of China is
leaning away from Bitcoin, then maybe the United
States ought to be leaning into Bitcoin.
And that's one of the things that we're
going to be doing.
Leaning in like Sheryl Sandberg, leaning in, not
the only luminary to appear at Bitcoin twenty
twenty five.
Oh, no.
There was everybody's favorite mayor, Mayor Adams from
New York.
We have financial instruments for all other bonds.
You can have tax exempt bonds and other
bonds.
It is time for the first time in
the history of this city to have a
financial instrument that is made for those who
are holders of Bitcoin.
I believe we need to have a bit
bond and I am going to push and
fight to get a bit bond in New
York so you can do those same bond
investments in New York City.
Thinking big and being unafraid of the future
is what we want to do.
So I say to all of you who
are here, Summonsing, come out of the shadows,
come back to the city.
You no longer have to be afraid to
be part of this major industry that has
been attacked.
It has been criticized and it has been
denied the opportunity to move forward and grow.
We must lead the way.
We must be a city and country of
innovators and creators, not haters.
And even those haters that laughed at us
in the beginning, we have to ask in
a uniform manner who's laughing now.
Look at how Bitcoin has grown and we
must match what is happening on the national
level with what we're doing on the local
level.
If it grows in New York, it would
cascade throughout the entire country and we would
normalize and allow young people to know the
evolution and power of the Bitcoin universe.
You'd think he was at a human rights
rally.
It's amazing.
Yeah.
And now I have a supercut of the
entire rest of the conference.
The Bitcoin 2025 conference here is the summary
in supercut fashion.
Stable coins, stable coins, stable coins, stable coins,
stable coins, stable coins, stable coins, stable coin,
stable coin, stable coin, stable coin for Bitcoin,
stable coins, stable coin, stable coin, stable coin,
stable coin, stable coin, stable coin, stable coin,
stable coin, stable coin, stable coin, stable coin,
stable coin, stable coins, stable coins, stable coins,
stable coins, stable coins, stable coins, stable coins,
stable coins, stable coins, stable coin, stable coin
on stable coins, stable coin, stable coin, stable
coin, stable coin, stable coins, stable coin.
I could go on for another 30 seconds.
It's all about stable coins.
Stable coin is all about the stable coin.
And now, according to The Wall Street Journal,
the big banks are exploring venturing into the
crypto world together with a joint stable coin,
stable coins, stable coins, stable coins, stable coins,
stable coins, stable coins.
I'm telling you, Mar-a-Lago accords incoming
soon.
This stable coin thing, man, they got plans.
They just haven't explained it yet.
But they got plenty of that.
Yeah, I haven't explained it.
They got they got they have not explained
it, but they're coming.
And with that, I'd like to I'm sorry.
Oh, I was going to play two Memorial
Day clips before we went to the break.
All right, let's do that.
First of all, I have two Memorial Day
clips because we had Memorial Day and we
and I have to say we we produced
the show or we didn't.
Our producer did.
Guy Raya, he produced a terrific show.
Everybody who listened to it raved about it.
No, no.
There was one guy on X who said.
I don't want to be critical.
But I hated it.
After 15 minutes, I went to listen to
something else.
Well, OK, one guy didn't like it, but
I think that's true with all of our
show.
Yeah, I loved it.
I thought he did such a good job
with with Mel because it's easy.
You can just throw a clip of the
day together.
But he had little interstitials and he makes
it cool.
He just I think it's just a very
good taste.
Taste.
He had taste.
Yes.
And good demeanor.
Memorial Day missteps.
Oh, I saw a survey that I thought
was interesting recently.
It's from talker research, and it said that
only 48 percent of Americans can correctly identify
what Memorial Day commemorates.
And those numbers were 27 percent with Gen
Z.
So why do you think those numbers are
so low?
And what should we do about it as
a society?
Well, there are a couple of things.
I think sadly, a lot of our holidays
have become about the commercialization.
So for today, there are a lot of
people, although I don't begrudge them to have
barbecues and hot dogs and hamburgers and lemonade
and maybe a beer.
It really is about not just our heroes
in the military, but specifically our fallen heroes
in the military.
And I was told that by the military.
I said, thank you for your service to
that was on my radio show the other
day.
And he said, actually, Memorial Day is more
about those who didn't come home, as opposed
to somebody like myself who did come home
today after the show.
I'm taking a train to go see my
mom and we will go to my father's
grave where there is a flag and there
is a medal.
And the cemetery has cleaned the gravestones, especially
of those who served like my father served
in the Korean War.
I come from a long line of veterans.
My uncle Harry, a Jewish man who fought
the Nazis in World War Two.
And that was pride for him.
My cousin Keith, my cousin Keith, is watching
today.
OK, it goes on and on in the
missteps.
This is this is a conflagration.
Yes.
Of of multiple of multiple celebrations of Memorial
Day, which is about the dead, the fallen
and Veterans Day, which is a different holiday.
I know.
Yeah.
Well, she got it mixed up and as
everyone did.
But nobody did as good a job as
we haven't had her on much.
But this is the black the girl who
teaches black history.
Is this the one that white people eat
people?
Yeah.
The cannibals that white people are cannibals.
Yes, yes.
Well, she has a rundown of Memorial Day.
She's got one thing right, which was originally
was called Decoration Day.
But I didn't realize that that we've got
it completely wrong because she's got it right,
as usual.
And here's here's the explanation of Memorial Day.
Real quick, we also created Memorial Day.
It's pretty safe to say black people create
all things good.
We make things better.
I mean, take something simple as ice cream.
The should have mayonnaise in it before we
touched mayonnaise.
So I'm not trying to hear shows.
The holiday was created by formerly enslaved people
that wanted to just honor and commemorate their
veterans who fought in the Civil War.
And for 100 years, it wasn't recognized federally.
So it was mostly black people that celebrated
this this holiday.
It was also known as Decoration Day before
it was called Memorial Day.
It's actually called Decoration Day.
It's just the colonized word for it is
now Memorial Day.
Are we surprised?
Now you might ask, why do we have
a Veterans Day and then also a Memorial
Day?
Because Memorial Day was created to solely memorialize
union soldiers.
The union soldiers are the people that fought
against slavery.
Please do not confuse them fighting against slavery
for them being pro black.
A lot of these white union soldiers were
not pro black.
They were just against slavery because slavery was
making the South a lot of money and
the North was broke as shit.
We can just look at the North as
some haters to the South, which is ironic
because the South is literally using slave labor.
But they're haters.
Nonetheless, I mean, they was pocket watching before
I end this video.
It was actually celebrated in April for the
first hundred years until America got its hands
on it.
And here we are today in fucking May.
I don't know.
But happy Memorial Day.
Well, this is in this is a history
I'm unaware of.
Yeah, I didn't know about the mayonnaise either.
She says until black people came around, ice
cream was made with mayonnaise.
This is also new to me.
Yeah, it's I guess her course must be
fascinating.
Wait, you can subscribe to a course.
She's a teacher of black history.
Oh, well, I'd like to take her course.
I'd like to take her class.
Can I do it via Zoom?
I have no idea anything about it.
Hey, with that, I want to thank you
for your courage.
Say in the morning to you, the man
who put the C in the crypto cares
known as stable coin.
Say hello to my friend on the other
end, the one, the only Mr. John C.
DeVoree.
Yeah, well, in the morning, you must.
I'm Korean.
If I get a little ships, the seaboats
on the ground, feet in the air, subs
in the water and all the dames and
knights out there in the morning to the
trolls in the troll room to stand still,
stop moving.
I want to count you.
Hold on a second.
We're about on par.
Eighteen fourteen, eighteen fourteen.
It's about right for a Thursday, I believe.
I believe.
Hello there, trolls.
Welcome.
Good to have you here.
And just so you know, the troll room
is is open season.
I mean, you can do whatever you want
in the troll room.
People like don't say that.
Adam will close the troll room that I
don't think I've ever threatened or certainly ever
done that.
The troll people off once in a while.
But that's more just for myself, just to
make me feel better and powerful.
But it's not very often that I do
that.
It's only when I'm in a mood.
But no, the troll room is there.
It's there for that very point to troll,
to troll me, to troll each other, to
troll around, to say whatever you want.
It's ephemeral.
Scrolls away after one screen.
No one sees it anymore.
You are literally yelling into the void.
But yes, power tripping.
That's right.
That's my power.
When I'm when I'm on a power trip,
I'll kick someone out of the room.
That's true.
I admit it fully power trip.
I just want to have some power.
Now, of course, the trolls, they get to
listen live to the show, which is very
fun.
And and you can do that at troll
room dot I.O. I don't know if
you saw Megyn Kelly.
She was hopping mad the other day.
She's always hopping.
Man, he was hopping.
She's like Apple.
My show hasn't updated on your podcast app
for six hours.
What's wrong with you?
No one answers my questions.
She was hopping mad, of course.
Your iPhone could be on fire and no
one's going to answer your question from Apple.
Go to the forum.
That's where you can get your answers.
Now, that was on Apple on the modern
podcast apps.
It had been there for six hours because
the modern podcast apps use the podcast index.
It's a much better system.
And if she used Podping, a podcasting 2
.0, which literally you can do with on
a Web page, you can just say, oh,
I'm published.
You click a button and it would update
within 90 seconds on all the modern podcast
apps.
I'll send her an email.
Maybe I don't know if she cares, but
I don't care if she doesn't care.
But she likes to get worked out.
She knows her numbers go up when she
gets worked up.
There's nothing more entertaining than a mad blonde.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And according to Tina, she's tiny.
You think she's I thought she was tall.
Tina says she's tiny, tiny.
Does Tina run into her?
No, the women have this intuition.
She's not.
She's tiny.
She's real tiny.
So maybe just big head says tiny body,
big head.
Merv Griffin's dream.
That's how you get successful on video, which
is why she should be doing video.
That's great.
So get one of those modern podcast apps
and don't mess around.
There's there's many of them with podcast apps
dot com.
That's APPS, plural apps.
And you'll get this show and you'll be
alerted when we go live for the live
pod.
There's many live shows now.
And they also work on those podcast apps,
not on the legacy app.
So give it Kelly's five, six, according to
the Internet.
Really?
Hmm.
That's not tiny, tiny.
No, that's pretty average.
That's like the height of women.
Yeah.
Hmm.
OK.
There's a couple of references to it.
Yeah.
Well, then she's not that tiny.
She's skinny.
She's skinny.
She's very skinny.
Value for value is the motto for this
show, and it's been serving us pretty well
for over 17 years.
We provide the whole show to you from
beginning to end.
If you're listening live, you get a little
pre-show banter.
You get all kinds of fun stuff to
listen to.
If you're if you're really listening live, you
hear Darren O'Neill do the rock and
roll pre-show and he had the handover.
It's very professional.
This is like a real network we've got
going on here.
And then after the show, there's always a
show that comes on.
It's all it's all live stream.
It's all fantastic.
And you'll get notified if you subscribe to
those shows.
You get notified when they go live.
And if you can't listen live at the
time, then you can you'll get the show
when it's published.
And within 90 seconds, you know about it.
Podcast apps.com.
But value for value is is what we
do.
Here's the whole show.
If you get any value out of it,
send it back to us.
So what did Steve and Stephanie do?
They took us out to dinner that they
also donate Steve's night.
But they took us out.
They took out that thing.
You just got invited.
Yeah.
But then when the check came, no, no,
no, no.
That's for me, he said.
I said, you sure I'm happy to.
You didn't grab for it or you had
the alligator slowly, slowly.
Are you going to go?
Are you sure?
Oh, here's the way I got more on
Megyn Kelly.
She's one thirty five six.
So she's not that skinny.
Yeah, she's 32.
See, see, I don't believe that.
And she has a foot nine, got a
big foot, she got size nine.
So it says, wow.
And her figure is thirty five, twenty five,
thirty six.
Hmm.
So, well, thank you for these details.
It also says Megan Kelly.
Interesting facts.
This is kind of weird to put in
here this way.
But this is obviously generated, right?
She was groomed by Bill O'Reilly groomed.
Groomed, groomed by Bill O'Reilly.
Yeah, yeah.
That's one way of putting it.
I still listen to Bill O'Reilly.
I still listen to his podcast from time
to time.
His voice has become so weak.
That's it's kind of sad.
Bill O'Reilly, he's got to be 70
in his far in his 70s.
You should.
Well, he doesn't sound he does.
You're right.
His voice doesn't say I don't like his
voice.
No, the current voice is old voice.
What are you probably yelling?
I'll do it live too many times.
He's seventy five.
Oh, which is not that old to have
a rate.
But he's interesting because he's six four.
But he doesn't sound like this anymore.
Do it live.
I'll write it and we'll do it live.
He doesn't sound.
No, he doesn't sound like that anymore at
all.
No, it doesn't sound like he sounds like
he's been weakened.
Yes.
Weakened, weakened.
He's a beaten man.
So you can do that by supporting us.
And we thank all of our supporters.
Fifty dollars and above.
And at this portion of the show, we
thank people who have donated more for this
particular episode.
We just want people to donate.
It's not like you have to become an
executive or associate executive producer.
That's just something that people wanted because they
wanted to make sure their note is read
and they want to bless us with more
value.
And we understand that.
So the deal is also a good it's
a good attribution to be an executive producer
to the no agenda show because it's a
lifetime achievement.
It is.
It is.
And many people feel that way because they
proudly post that on IMDB dot com where
these Hollywood style credits are recognized.
So two hundred dollars and above, we will
read your note and you become an associate
executive producer.
Three hundred dollars and above, you become an
executive producer and we read your note as
well.
And of course, these are thank yous from
the past two shows since people continue to
do the art.
Oh, I'm sorry, I completely forgot the art.
How bad of me.
I'm sorry about that.
Thank you for reminding me.
Yes.
Time, talent or treasure.
You can support us in in any of
those manners.
So, you know, I clearly got some some
treasure the other day and some free food.
But time and talent.
How was the meat there?
It's Jack's Chophouse.
It's very good.
It's very expensive.
We do not go there typically.
But Steve, if somebody takes you, you'll be
glad to go.
Yeah.
Steve took us.
It was very nice.
So we want to thank the artist who
brought us the artwork for the best clip,
best clips of the day episode, which we
did not confer over.
No, we usually do.
Yeah.
But we both picked the same one.
I know.
Usually, usually you send me a couple and
you say, use this one.
I do that.
Yes.
And I think you use this in the
newsletter, I believe.
Yeah, I did.
Yeah.
This was the Nessworks clip of the day.
Now, to be honest, I didn't choose it.
I was in the hotel room because we
came back, you know, because I, of course,
wanted to hit the bat signal and then
upload the show so that people who were
listening live had like a five minute advantage
and they were ahead of everything.
And then people who just wait, you know,
if you get on the podcast, regular not
listening live, you had a little bit of
a delay.
And I showed Tina, I said, which one
of these do you like?
And she said this one.
And that's how it was chosen.
So please send your gripes and complaints to
her.
The ones that were in work in consideration
were Blue Acorns, Best of Mixed Tape.
You know what she said?
Too small.
Can't read it.
The Nessworks clipping through the ribbons is not.
And the megaphone, Darren O'Neill, she said,
that's cute.
I kind of like Darren's reel to reel,
I would, of course.
And I think Tina said no one knows
what that is anymore.
Good point.
Well, that, you know.
Yeah, Boomer, it's OK, because everyone else called
two or three of these machines.
Yeah, you got Reevox, right?
I don't have a Reevox, I got some
old, I got some classic Sony 777.
You want a Reevox, man.
You want a Reevox.
What you want is what you really want
for just for collecting.
You want the Tascam 4 track.
For collecting, you want the Ampex.
Yeah, that is a classic.
The Ampex.
And does yours have the.
You want the Ampex full track.
Well, what I liked is the Reevox had
a built in tape splicer.
Right on top.
Yeah, I used one.
I never owned one, but I used one.
I owned one.
It would be had to build it into
a table.
It was heavy.
Those things were heavy.
Well, yeah, all the good ones.
And you run it on 38 centimeters per
second.
You get high, high fidelity.
I have one in the collection that is
a T-ACC with a cartridge at the
bottom.
So it's got the reel to reel at
the top and it's got one of those
eight tracks so I can record and play
eight tracks on it.
That is a collector's item.
That's a total collector's item.
Playing a record.
I can still in other words, I can
still record eight tracks for someone who has
a 58 Chevy.
I had a 72.
What was that Buick called Skylark?
That when I was a kid.
All right.
I did have a Tascam Studio eight, which
was a four track Tascam with mixer all
built in.
That was another cool machine.
But that didn't win.
The honors go to Nesswork and we appreciate
your work and we appreciate the work of
all of our No Agenda artists who diligently
upload at noagendaartgenerator.com.
It's open for everybody.
Everybody can participate.
And we're big fans of your work, man.
We love it.
We also have to credit the show before
that because we didn't do it.
Good point.
Good point.
And the winner of that was there was
Cinematic Ambush was the title of the show.
And the art went to Darren O'Neill.
That was his Oval Office ambush, which was
contentious because I was like, I'm tired of
your you're sick, you're sick of this template
that Darren uses.
And then I realized we've never chosen it.
We've never chosen one of these.
Yeah, well, you you complained.
I said, we've never chosen it.
I know.
And then I looked and yeah, we have,
you said in that exact voice.
And then you looked and looked and looked
and couldn't find it.
So we used it and I used the
in the newsletter, the upcoming newsletter.
I used the Texas versus California one, although
we had discussed the the bull crap one.
Yes, but it was all off center.
Nothing made everything was wrong.
I thought it was a hundred percent bull
crap with no agenda.
Even though he's crapping on him, they had
to decide against it.
So now we thank our executive and associate
executive producers.
And we start off, he comes in monthly
when we're lucky.
And we're and when I say lucky, it's
because that means he's still alive.
It always comes in cash.
He sends it from there's a there's like
a brown stain on the paper.
I can see here on the scan.
Or is that a blood stain?
So that was I was having ribs for
lunch.
OK, and that's the barbecue sauce.
Two thousand seven hundred and forty three dollars.
Now, this is not typical.
There's an extra is an odd number.
So do you have a single in there?
No.
Well, how can you get forty three dollars
without a single?
He had I think he had a five
dollar bill and three two dollar bills or
four two dollar bills.
Oh, Matt, there was some there was some
combination that was a five dollar bill, which
gives you the odd number plus a bunch
of twos.
OK, you sure that's the number?
Because these are these numbers are.
No, believe me, I do the number and
then Jay does the number.
We both do the number.
This is the number.
If you have the wrong number, someone could
die.
Yeah, I know.
We that's why we do it twice.
I do one and then Jay double checks
and she gets the same number.
And then we we compare notes and boom,
this is the number.
And he has a note.
And they're always long, but we love reading
them from Sir Animas of Dogpatch and Lower
Slobovia.
Thank you to all the producers that make
this an important but underfunded source of information.
Yes, I didn't see Gitmo Nation on Trump's
list of tariff nations, yet somehow trade, a
.k.a. donations, collapsed.
Was the drop from the increased tolling charge
collected by most sources of funding transportation?
I would also like to thank the workers
of USPS for their fine service and importantly,
significant service improvements after years of a three
or four show interval from mailing to receipt.
Delivery has improved to a two or three
show interval, regardless of where it's mailed.
Important to my periapetic periapetic life.
What is peripatetic?
You know, I don't you know, I peripatetic.
Well, I can't pronounce that word peripatetic.
I got the pronunciation, but what does it
mean?
Yeah, look it up.
Well, you look it up while I read
small commentary regarding the cynical comment on bias.
Oh, the mixture of non is probably directed
at me.
The mixture of non-practicing Catholic and born
again Christian that offers Zionist, anti-Semitic, Islamophobic,
pro-Palestine, anti-white Christian, nationalist, homophobic and
pro-LGBTQ plus views.
Keep it interesting.
And peripatetic is meaning you're traveling from place
to place to place, in particular, working or
based in various places for relatively relatively short
period.
Well, he definitely has a peripatetic life.
So it keeps the show interesting with insight
from producers, provides great analysis that is both
personally and professionally useful.
I concur with your observation after Adam's high
school presentation that while M5M viewership has declined
and is not viewed by younger generations, it
continues to be a primary source of news
and information for decision makers, especially legislators and
investors.
It is.
How about that?
It is also a primary source of news
for TikTok X and Insta prognosticators.
I've noted that the alternative media, so-called
news, is often a reaction to M5M reports
and rarely offer primary sources, despite former M5Mers
becoming podcasters.
Good point.
Just another cacophony of opinions offering their version
of truth.
No jingles, no karma from Sir Dogpatch, a
synonymous of Dogpatch and lower Slobovia.
And we thank you, as always, for your
courage and for your support.
You know, thank you.
Now we go to a thousand dollar donor,
Rosie Lincolns.
Wow.
L.A. and K.E.N.S. in
Landisville, Pennsylvania.
And wrote in a hard copy note just
to prove that it's a note, I shake
it.
ITM, John and Adam, thank you for all
you do.
I found you in 2020 and thank you
for the sanity and humor, plus the information
that can't be found anywhere else.
Or at the minimum, days before other outlets.
Well, sometimes months and sometimes years.
We've had years.
Yeah, we have.
I enjoy Noah Jenner with my son, and
it also saved his sanity in this crazy
world.
Well, good for us.
It has been great bonding, a great bonding
experience for us.
I have a small recurring donation.
Come on, Noah Jenner Nation.

Cody's been working on this.
No forgetting us to do this on the
right day.
Yeah.
I.T.M. John and Adam, I've been
a douche bag for too long.
Been listening since Adam's 2020 appearance on Joe

but meaningful.
Ah, I lost my dad when I was
five months old and then my mom to
cancer when I was 19.
John is my dad's age and Adam is
my mom's.
Uh.
OK, so listening to you both feels like
hearing them in another life, if that makes
sense.
OK, we'll go for it.
Thank you for years of media deconstruction, laughs
and jingles that keep me grounded in this
crazy world.
You're both like the lanterns in the dark.
Lanterns in the dark.
That's us.
Yeah.
It's my 33rd.
Oh, there you go.
33rd birthday on May 28th.
No better way to celebrate than giving my

producer.
Don't he has a funny way of putting
possessives.
Please add me to the birthday list.

And he is on note page number four.
I have it here.
I.T.M. hosers.
What better way to celebrate being an executive
producer than to applaud your expose of the
PBS NPR socialist chills?
Right.
And so I unfortunately, I didn't see all
of this.
Hold on, because he has some jingles that
he wanted.
And I'm looking for him now because he
wanted this.
He says Scott Scheinman.
OK, I have something there.
Elitist voices.
Bullshit.
I have that one somewhere.
Geez.
Sorry about this.
I was unprepared.
Got that one.
And when a little kid, we're all going
to die.
Oh, my goodness.
Going to die.
Yes, it is too many.
But now I'm already in it.
And the window chimes sound from John just
to just to rile me up.
And he wants the elitist voices.
OK, I think I got it all.
Voices of America.
This is NPR or PBS.
Suffer and succotash.
I'm Scott Simon.
Bullshit and die.
OK, W.
Vincent Rowland.
Sir Tigger Max.
There you go, brother.
We did it all for you on the
floor.
Yeah, Jay James and Yonkers three thirty three
thirty three.
And this is a challenging note, handwritten, a
little lengthy, but not not too bad.
He does want us to start as it
at the end.
We're going to start off with a call
out to GC as a douchebag.
And James here needs a de-douching.
You've been de-douched.
He writes, shout out to my smoking hot
wife who hit me in the mouth when
we started dating about two years ago.
I've been short on cash ever since.
Yeah, it's a coincidence.
I wonder why.
Actually, I was dead broke when she met
me.
No, but not short on scruples.
I got I hit people in the mouth
every chance I get.
But a few shows back, my very own
keeper called me out as a douchebag.
Well, I reckon good for her.
Yes.
Good job.
So I reckon we're skipping date night to
add some treasure to the no agenda conference.
Excellent idea.
Just kidding.
This looks like an overdue.
You guys have provided immeasurable value to us.
Big thank you for everyone working behind the
scenes.
There's a lot of people.
Also, please don't rage quit or quit.
I quit.
We'll do it live or quit at all.
For that matter, because you guys are doing
such a huge service to everyone worldwide.
This is a fact spreading truth and cutting
through the noise.
It really makes the world a better place.
Thank you for your courage.
Yes, thank you.
We appreciate that.
That's nice.
Thank you for your courage and all the
time and energy you put into the show.
I know it takes sacrifice mostly to our
pocketbooks, but most of us are struggling to.
Yeah, it isn't that we take you for
granted.
It's only truly only four more years.
Please train a successor.
Larry and Darren, Larry and Darren, Larry and
Darren are cancer for my aunt.
It's true.
Classic.
It's a true she wants.
He was cancer.
It is true.
The classic.

James West.
OK, that's true.
You've got karma.
I love my truck and I love what
I do.

Brian McIver in Portage, Michigan, three twenty thirty

This donation on a second.
Make sure I got this because I can
see.
Yes.
Gents, thanks for all you do.
I'll keep it short.
Famous last words.
You didn't.
But I'd like this donation to cover a
few bases.
Two families are out in Colorado Springs this
week to celebrate the wedding of my daughter.
Hope to Jake, who's who's who some may
remember was saved from a full blown douchebag
call out during his bachelor party.
Thanks to a boobs donation on episode 1739.
You're welcome, Jake.
But today we're taking it to a new
level.
An unprecedented quadruple boobs donation in order for
incredible men who graduated today from the United
States Air Force Academy.
That's right.
Four roommates from Squadron 40, the mighty Warhawks,
now freshly minted lieutenants, Jack.
That's right.
Jack, who's my new son in law this
Friday, Nick Langenberg, whose stepdad Jeff will still
cook him on still cook him on the
moguls any day.
Ski moguls, I guess.
Jacob Lawrence proudly finished number 60 in the
graduating class.
Well done, Jacob.
And as Arnold Aza, just the greatest guy
rounding out this remarkable quartet.
These guys who were once just bachelor party
hooligans have done something truly extraordinary.
What they've chosen to do is to what
they've chosen to volunteer for and what they've
accomplished humbles me.
We should all be proud of the young
men and women who take this path.
Congratulations to Jake and Hope on their wedding
and to Nick, Jacob, Asa, Asa, Asa, probably.
And I don't just I'm just guessing.
And the entire graduating class of 2025 from
Squadron 40.
Congratulations, lieutenants.
You've made your families and your country proud.
And I concur with Brian McIver from Portage,
Michigan.
Good job, boys.
Real American.
Son of a mess.
Sons of America there love that.

It truly means a lot.
Thank you for your courage.
She writes at the end.

use handguns and defend themselves.
And Bonnie's barrels and bullets and barrels does
it as good name to.
Thank you, Bonnie.
Sean Holman, Noblesville, Indiana, to 1911 associate executive
position for him, and he says Proverbs three
verses five through six.
In all your ways, not most of your

In all your ways.
That's right.
And guess what other one you can read.
Grant and Sean in Mendham, New Jersey.
Two hundred and ten switcheroo.
Oh, we go switcheroo.
Hi, John.
And we've been listening to your show twice
a week for almost two years now and
love it.
We are turned on to it by our
good friend Rich Fontane, whom I'd like to
give this associate executive producership credit to.
OK, nice.
Change that right away.
Make sure we get rich in there.
But it being better, boom, we are news
to a news to a dot com.
Any W.S. number to a news to
a dot com, a widely read Second Amendment
news and media company with a bullpen full
of established authors such as John Petrolino, the
pen patriot.
He was the Second Amendment Foundation's 2024 Journalist
of the Year.
He's an excellent writer and was our first
supporter and just a solid dude.
And we actually just got our first piece
today from Mark Smith of the Four Boxes
Diner and member of the Trump transition team.
You guys love to talk about Pam Bondi.
A fun feature we recently added, given her
past position on gun rights, is the Pam
Bondi action ticker and tracker or tracker.
An easy to use near real time timeline
with a simple thumbs up, thumbs down rating
on every Second Amendment action.
The Justice Department has taken to date under
Pam bondage.
That aside, our meat and potatoes is publishing
Second Amendment news about court cases, laws, proposed
legislation, etc.
Similar to how you deconstruct the media, we
try to demystify Second Amendment news and litigation
for the common man with our in layman's
terms section that can be found at the
top of many of our articles.
We also do in.
We also do layman's terms for those that
simply don't have the time to read the
articles.
We sum it up in a sentence or
two for those folks.
By the way, we are based out of
North Jersey, so we're behind enemy lines.
Just a reminder, we can be found at
news to a dot com.
We are also very active on X.
And everybody should follow us at news to
a team on X.
And thank you very much.
Rich, we'll get the credit.
Eli, the coffee guy's up, he's in Bensonville,
Illinois.
Two oh five twenty nine.
We have some great news to announce, he
writes.
Five pound bags of coffee are now available
on our Web site.
Whether you need good bulk coffee for the
office or stocking your underground bunker or you
drink coffee by the gallon like me, we
got you covered.
So visit gigawatt coffee roasters dot com and
use code itm 20 to get your bag.
Big ass bag of coffee today.
He's caffeinated.
You know, his bags are actually I think
they're like 11 ounces or just perfect.
Mm hmm.
They're the perfect fit for the Breville coffee.
They have the grinder.
You can throw the whole thing in there.
The whole the whole bag fits right to
the top.
And then you push the lid down and
it's perfect fit.
It's I think is designed for that.
Nice.
And winding it up of the final associate
executive producer today is the one, the only
from Lakewood, Colorado, with two hundred dollars.
Linda Lou Patkin.
And she says jobs, Carmen, for a resume
that showcases your unique value proposition, tells a
compelling career story and highlights your standout accomplishments.
Visit it.
Wow.
New copy.
No, she's got a new copy.
I got to read that copy again is
brand new for a resume that showcases your
unique value proposition, tells a compelling career story
and highlights your standout accomplishments.
Visit Image Makers Inc.
Dotcom and work with Linda Lou.
That's Image Makers Inc.
With a K Dotcom.
Linda Lou, the Duchess of Jobs and writer
of resumes.
Wow.
Nice one, Linda Lou.
Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You got karma.
You left off the kicker.
Oh, did I miss something on the spreadsheet
again?
I got to get a different spreadsheet program
this.
No, no.
The kick.
Oh, I see it here.
She makes you shine.
I didn't see that.
I'm sorry, Linda Lou.
Bad.
We're doing cold reads of Linda Lou's copy.
Yeah.
Well, it literally did not show up in.
I got I'm going to use a different
product.
Excel is lame.
And now before we move on, I got
a note from Sir Mr. F.
He says, I've been a 20 dollar a
month sustainer since 2017 and a dude named
Ben for 15 plus years.
He wants to know if we really do
break for nights.
And I said, yes, I've been unemployed long
enough that we've cut every necessary expense, except
for my unbroken monthly sustaining donation to no
agenda.
But I'm a month away from having to
cancel my sustained donation because it's unfair of
me to ask my wife to sacrifice while
I continue the 20 dollar a month donation.
Since new jobs can often be about who,
you know, I'm tapping the greatest network of
like minded slaves between Portland, Oregon and Longview,
Washington.
So this dude named Ben can continue his
eight year long unbroken monthly donation.
Ping Bolt's computer at Gmail dot com.
That's Bolt's computer at Gmail dot com.
Yeah.
B.O.L.T. Bolt Bolt's computer at
Gmail dot com for resume and further details.
Cheers, Sir.
Mr. F.
And I will give you a jobs karma
for the jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs.
Let's vote for jobs.
You've got karma.
And that really concludes our first slew of
supporters.
Fifty dollars and above.
We thank everybody.
We'll be thanking more in our second donation
segment.
Affiliate's attention.
We're going long today with the show.
But of course, that is because we yeah,
of course we are.
We're going long.
But look at all the people we had
to thank.
Look at all the great news we had.
We were just it was all bottled up
inside us.
We needed to get it out.
It's hard for us to take a day
off.
It was it's ridiculous, really, because we just
we just want to give you the truth,
the information, man.
Am I right?
What did you do on your day off?
You did nothing.
You puttered around.
I did nothing.
Thank you to our executive and associate executive
producer of episode 1768.
Our formula is this.
We go out, we hit people in the
mouth.
What?
What?
That's right.
Slaves, be quiet, be quiet, be quiet.
So there was oh, I want to play
this not just because of my my faith,
but there was something that I think the
president screwed up on in this particular clip.
We recently had the National Day of Prayer.
And President Trump made a big day of
it, a big deal of it at the
White House.
But there's something we need to comment on
because that he had a perfect opportunity to
talk about it.
And maybe he doesn't understand it.
So hopefully someone can talk to him about
it.
He could not have asked for a more
beautiful day than this.
And maybe that means something that brings us
a little luck.
But it's a great honor.
And I'm delighted to welcome you to this
very special place, the White House, to celebrate
the annual National Day of Prayer.
And we're doing it up big.
This is the first time they've done it
this way.
And you deserve it.
We all deserve the White House.
The White House is special.
We're bringing back religion in our country and
we're bringing it back quickly and strongly because
for America to be a great nation, we
must always be one nation under God, a
phrase that they would like to get rid
of the radical left.
But Ben, I don't think we're going to
let them get rid of that.
We're not letting them get rid of that.
They say separation between church and state, they
told me.
I said, all right, let's forget about that
for one time.
We said, really, separation?
I don't know.
Is that a good thing or a bad
thing?
I'm not sure.
But whether there's separation or not, you guys
are in the White House where you should
be and you're representing our country and we're
bringing religion back to our country.
And it's a big deal.
So this is going to be really four
years of celebration.
So get ready.
And we're going to always bring God with
us.
We're going to bring God to those celebrations.
We're not going to forget about God.
So you're already laughing about it.
I hear this all the time on left
wing podcasts and shows and like separation between
church and state, there's no God in government.
But that is a misunderstanding of the founding
fathers and writers of the Constitution.
And I'll just revisit the First Amendment.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment
of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof
or abridging the freedom of speech or of
the press or the right of the people
to peaceably assemble and to petition the government
for a redress of grievances.
Now, they put this at the beginning because
they felt it was very important because the
founding fathers were all about God in the
Bible.
Shall make no law respecting an establishment of
religion.
Somehow this has been transmorphed, transmogrified into separation
of church and state, which is not in
the Constitution.
It means that Congress cannot tell you what
to believe or what to believe in.
The government cannot tell you.
It does not mean that people can't bring
their beliefs or God into government.
And it's just such a strange thing how
people just accept this separation of church and
state.
And here's the president who himself believes.
I think he believes in God now, since
he feels that God saved him to save
America.
And who's writing?
They have a whole faith office who is
writing these speeches for him.
That was lame.
There you go.
I'm like, yeah, I'd live to have.
Well, but come on, bring to it since
you brought that in.
I might as well bring these clips in,
which kind of back you up.
This is about the trans Maoism.
Yeah, which is a religion.
Yes, it is.
They don't want to admit it, but it's
a religion.
And there's some action taking place up in
Washington state.
And we have the trans Maoist clips of
Washington state.
So the DOJ and the education department are
joining forces for a first of its kind
investigation.
It's digging into Washington state's laws for transgender
students.
Dan Springer is in Seattle.
Yeah, Alicia, the Trump administration says it's pretty
clear that the Washington state laws on transgender
issues violate federal laws, a host of federal
laws.
And this newly formed joint task force is
designed to speed up the crackdown.
Today is going to be a work day.
Students in the center, Washington, stand out from
the rest of the state for what is
not part of their education.
Teachers don't ask them for preferred pronouns or
alternate names.
And if they do identify as transgender, a
meeting is set up with their parents.
School officials say not to out them, but
to include the most important people in their
lives.
If I leave the parents out, then then
I erode that trust.
And I'm expected to call home if they
want to use sunscreen.
But if they're going to change their gender
identity, I I shouldn't call home.
OK, which is a rule in a lot
of states, California being one of them.
You have to keep it a secret from
the parents.
Oh, by law, is that still a thing?
You can't tell the parents.
Yes, it's still a thing.
Hmm.
And by law.
Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know.
No one's been made an example of yet
for violating this law.
But it's coming as things progress.
But here we go with the second half
of this guy.
The center calls it a pro family policy
and is fighting to keep state funding because
state law says parents must be kept in
the dark if that's what students want.
Two sets of school records.
One parents can see and one they can't.
And that has triggered an unprecedented federal joint
investigation by the Education and Justice Department's education
secretary, Linda McMahon, writes Washington State appears to
use its position of authority to coerce its
districts into hiding gender identity information from students,
parents and to adopt policies to covertly smuggle
gender ideology into the classroom.
Some female athletes are also speaking out.
Annalie Wilson says she's competed against and lost
to three biological boys in the last year.
I don't want this to keep happening to
other girls.
I don't want other girls to have to
experience this.
So if I need to talk about it
and stand up for other girls, I will.
But state school superintendent Chris Reichtal is digging
in, calling the federal investigation an alarming attempt
to infringe on the rights of our transgender
and gender expansive students.
And of course, millions and millions of dollars
are at stake here, not only for the
state of Washington, but all of its school
districts.
In La Center alone, they get 80 percent
of their operating budget from Olympia.
It's all now at risk.
Alicia.
Did you hear the new term in there?
No, what was it?
Gender expansive.
Wow.
What is gender expansive?
I'm surprised you didn't hear it.
It was right at the near the end.
I have no idea.
I've never heard this is a brand new
term.
Gender is gender or something.
And gender expansive.
Is it the very end?
I want to hear that.
I'd say within 10 seconds of the end.
Talk about it and stand up for other
girls.
I will.
But state school superintendent Chris Reichtal is digging
in, calling the federal investigation an alarming attempt
to infringe on the rights of our transgender
and gender expansive students.
And of course, millions and millions of dollars
are at stake here, not only for the
state of Washington, but all of it.
Gender expansive students.
I like it.
What do you like about it?
What does it mean?
Well, I want to use, you know, all
expansive for all kinds of things.
I'm a podcast expansive student.
A gender expansive student.
So they expand their genders.
I have no idea.
Maybe.
Yeah, well, if you look at it by
pure definition.
Well, let's let's expand your day.
You were a male and now you're all
kinds of things.
Let's let's ask Grok.
What does.
Why not?
Does the term gender or gender expansive mean?
OK.
All right, Grok.
Sock it to me, Grok.
The term gender expansive refers to individuals whose
gender identity or expression extends beyond the traditional
binary categories of male and female.
Oh, cats, cats.
Right.
The litter box.
It encompasses a wide range of gender identities,
identities, including non-binary, gender queer, gender fluid,
a gender I'm a no agenda and other
identities that don't conform to societal norms of
gender.
Gender expansive people may express their gender in
ways that challenge or transcend conventional expectations, embracing
a more fluid, flexible or inclusive understanding of
gender.
OK, well, we're up to sounds like a
crock of shit.
If ever there was we're up to speed,
Boomer.
We know what's going on.
Well, on that note, one of our producers
works at Amazon.
I think in a managerial role.
So this person shall go unnamed, but sent
me a screenshot of a policy memo that
came out to management at Amazon Understanding G
Gen Z interns.
Would you like to understand?
Oh, I would love this sounds like a
gold mine.
Yeah, I think you're right.
OK, here we go.
The majority of our program's interns, though certainly
not all are Gen Z.
In fact, Gen Z is well on their
way to becoming the most influential group in
the workplace.
Research shows that Gen Z priorities and work
expectations have shifted in order to hire and
retain Gen Z talent.
Training and management styles must shift as well.
Outlined below is a high level overview of
current trends surrounding Gen Z employees and some
best practices that can be leveraged throughout the
internship.
Are you ready?
This is going to be good.
And as a backgrounder, I want to mention
that Jamie Diamond came out with some commentary
about Gen Z's in the workplace.
Do you have there's been a lot of
different?
I don't have a clip, unfortunately, but there's
been I'll get one.
There's been a lot of and we've do
it on this show.
Commentary about Gen Z's work habits coming in
late and thinking it's OK.
And all these characteristics that make them problematic
as employees because they they didn't have jobs
when they were in school and they didn't
learn much when they were in school and
they they don't have recess anymore, a lot
of them are fat.
Wow.
OK.
Gen Z employees dot, dot, dot.
And here's some bullet points.
Bullet point one.
Want to feel valued, included and empowered at
work.
I'll wait.
Oh, boy.
Little boy point to want to feel they
are making an impact appeal to their need
to accomplish something beyond themselves with purpose and
contribute to a higher ideal.
This renews motivation and engagement.
Third point, are less inclined to work with
managers that micromanage allow them some level of
autonomy to try new things and grow new
skills.
Simultaneously, you should be available to guide and
provide support when needed.
Point four.
Gen Z's value work life balance.
And get to work.
And point five.
Gen Z's value sustainability.
From these factors, we see community engagement and
support as equally important to interns as understanding
their project and how Amazon evaluates their work.
Managers own their interns experience and value making
the work you do to meet these needs
critical.
Well, they sound like royalty.
That's an interesting series of kind of meaningless
bullet points.
Yeah.
Yeah.
They value their work life balance.
So who doesn't?
But I mean, it's just like, why are
they so special?
Are you afraid of I guess they're afraid
of losing them because the Gen Z years,
if they don't get their way, then they
will not be they will not want to
work for Amazon.
That's how I read this memo.
It sounds well in Jay-Z, Jay-Z,
Jay-Z, Jay-Z, Jay-Z, Jay-Z.
Gen Z has put themselves in a position
of dominance.
If that's power, power, power, power.
So they pulled it off, if that's true.
But at some point you've got to say,
wait a minute.
Yeah.
We're paying you money to do something.
Yeah.
You don't need you.
You're getting it's not like you.
Well, if you're an unpaid intern, then I
think you can.
No, I think I think interns at Amazon
get paid something.
Yeah, I'm sure they do.
And so they get paid.
It's just a temporary job.
But you still get paid now on.
From now on, Gen Z years to be
known as Jay-Z years.
That's it.
Jay-Z.
No, it's no agenda vocabulary at this point.
Yeah, it happens.
Hey, so it seems that the United States
is pulling away from any support of Israel.
President Trump, I think, is mad at Benjamin
Netanyahu.
And probably with good reason.
Things are taking quite a turn for the
worse in in Gaza or where the Palestinians
live as they're starving.
And and the Israelis are blaming it on
the United Nations.
These chaotic scenes in a U.N. warehouse
underscore the desperation of starving Palestinians in Gaza.
For more than two months, Israel stopped humanitarian
aid entering the enclave.
Supplies have been slowly trickling in, but the
center became overrun with people taking what they
could.
The World Food Program said there were injuries
and death.
It's the same situation across Gaza.
Nearly half a million people are in a
catastrophic situation of hunger, starvation, illness and death,
according to the World Health Organization.
The U.N. condemned a U.S.-backed aid
system that has been recently distributing humanitarian supplies.
The head of UNRWA said they used to
have 400 distribution centers in Gaza, but now
it's three or four maximum under the new
model.
Israel says it is doing its part, but
accused the U.N. of worsening the situation.
There are more than 400 trucks already on
the Gaza side of the fence waiting to
be distributed.
But the U.N. has failed to pick
them up.
We opened the crossings.
We provided safe routes for those trucks, but
the U.N. did not show up.
So let me be clear.
The U.N. must stop spreading panic and
start moving aid.
Put your ego aside, pick up the aid
and do your job.
Well, this is interesting.
They say the U.N. is not doing
their job.
That's what they say.
Hmm.
I have a clip here from it might
be, you know, the U.N. might be
not.
It's possible that the U.N. is not
doing their job just to further humiliate Israel.
Yeah, to make it worse on purpose.
That's possible.
It's not a good situation.
Here is Judge Knapp's podcast, as we always,
by the way, almost no one sent me
any podcast clips or time codes of anything.
What does not count is some dude on
Instagram talking about the weather.
Yeah, I think this is going to be
the standard.
We're going to have to do our own
research.
I don't think people I think people listen
to certain podcasts, but they just don't want
to go through the effort of clipping.
It is not that many people know how
to clip.
You don't have to clip.
You can just.
I don't think they even want to bother.
You like apps like Podverse and Fountain.
You can actually clip in the app.
It helps you make a clip.
Some people say, well, I don't know how
to make a clip.
They'll send that to me.
But usually it's an ISO of someone saying
no agenda.
OK, yeah, it is stuff we don't get
a lot of that.
This is Judge Knapp's podcast, Judging Freedom.
And this guy's turned out to be some
of the some of the worst material.
I thought this was rather interesting.
Free Palestine.
This is exactly the same chant we heard
on October 7th.
On that day, thousands of terrorists stormed into
Israel from Gaza.
They beheaded men.
They raped women.
They burned babies alive.
Free Palestine is just today's version of Heil
Hitler.
They don't want a Palestinian state.
They want to destroy the Jewish state.
I could never understand how this simple truth
evades the leaders of France, Britain, Canada and
others.
They're now proposing to establish a Palestinian state
and reward these murders with the ultimate prize.
You won't be surprised to learn that Hamas
thanked President Macron and Prime Minister Starmer and
Carney for demanding that Israel end its war
in Gaza immediately.
Now, these leaders may think that they're advancing
peace.
They're not.
So don't give us this talk.
It'll be a peaceful Palestinian state.
It won't be.
Can anybody take seriously this equation of free
Palestine with Heil Hitler?
Hasn't 95, 98 percent, according to Jeff Sachs,
of the countries in the United Nations voted
to accept Palestine as a member country, as
a sovereign state?
And it keeps getting vetoed by the United
States and the Security Council.
Yeah, that's precisely true.
Something like 140 countries, I believe the number
is.
Netanyahu is going a little bit overboard with
this is the new Heil Hitler.
Well, I think he's in trouble.
No kidding.
He's he's gone so far that even Trump
doesn't want to deal with him right now.
Or at all.
Yeah, well, because there's this that may be
a ploy, though, it's possible that if Trump's
negotiations negotiations with Iran don't go the way
he wants.
Ah, Israel can attack Iran, blow up a
bunch of nuke sites, which they've done before
in Syria and elsewhere.
Yeah, they could blow it up.
And Trump can be, you know, you know,
I tried to stop him.
Interesting.
And so Trump, maybe it's, you know, like
what is it called when you're when you
don't want to be in a loop so
you can have a plausible deniability?
Yes.
The classic American plausible deniability.
Well, so as President Trump is mad at
everybody.
He is mad at Putin.
Now, U.S. President Donald Trump appears to
be changing his tone when speaking of his
Russian counterpart, while he is normally heaped praises
on Vladimir Putin, even once calling him genius
for invading Ukraine in 2022.
On Sunday, he said Putin started to go
too far.
I'm not happy with what Putin is doing.
He's killing a lot of people.
And I don't know what the hell happened
to Putin.
I've known him a long time, always gotten
along with him, but he's sending rockets into
cities and killing people.
And I don't like it at all.
OK, we're in the middle of talking and
he's shooting rockets into Kiev and other cities.
I don't like it at all.
Trump's criticisms come after a weekend in which
Russia and Ukraine traded a thousand prisoners of
war each, but that also featured massive Russian
drone and missile attacks from Saturday to Sunday.
Russian forces launched the largest aerial attack of
the war so far, hitting cities across Ukraine,
killing several people and wounding many others.
So while that's happening, looks on that clip.
Yeah.
And it would.
And I have a clip, by the way,
I don't want to miss on that clip
and all the clips.
It says the same thing, the greatest, most
massive attack they've ever done and killed three
people.
I mean, there's something wrong with the reporting.
I mean, if it's a massive, biggest attack
ever, which is what they say in that
report, they do.
And they say in all the reports and
it kills like three people and injured a
child, they usually throw that in.
Yeah, well, of course.
So what are these things hitting that they're
not really doing?
But if it's the most massive of all
time, shouldn't have got thousands of people be
killed?
No, it's just big booms.
Big net.
There's something fishy about this whole thing.
Well, it's part of the negotiation and they're
going to meet in Istanbul for the second
time.
Should I play your PBS clip for the
update?
Yeah, this is the update of the updates.
This was was released yesterday.
Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelensky, was in Berlin today
appealing to his country's biggest military backer in
Europe.
Germany's new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, offered to help
Ukraine build its own long range missile systems
that could strike deep into Russia.
A move Moscow called provocative.
Zelensky said the military muscle is necessary.
You can all see what Putin is doing
every night.
Massive drone attacks, hundreds of drones.
In order to protect lives in our cities,
we need constant support.
Ukraine said that Russia's latest strikes on the
city of Kharkiv overnight killed one person and
injured seven others, including a child.
That comes as a United Nations panel today
found that Russian attacks on civilians in Ukraine's
Kherson province amounted to crimes against humanity.
Its report concluded that, quote, these acts were
committed with the primary purpose to spread terror
among the civilian population in violation of international
humanitarian law.
Meantime, back in Washington, President Trump expressed frustration
at the timing of recent attacks.
I'm very disappointed at what happened a couple
of nights now where people were killed in
the middle of what you would call a
negotiation.
I'm very disappointed by that.
That frustration comes as Russia's foreign minister, Sergei
Lavrov, pushed a new round of talks for
next Monday in Istanbul.
Ukraine has not yet committed to taking part.
Got perfect lead in.
Here's the report about the second meeting in
Istanbul.
Russia has proposed to hold a second round
of direct peace negotiations with Ukraine.
Russia's foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, made the announcement
on Wednesday.
The announcement comes after Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan
Fidan concluded a two day trip to Moscow
where he met with Lavrov and President Vladimir
Putin.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Donald Trump says he's,
quote, very disappointed with his Russian counterpart's decision
to escalate fighting.
He also stated that it will be clear
to him soon whether Putin is sincerely looking
for peace or not, as he warned of
a potential shift in Washington's approach.
We're going to find out whether or not
he's tapping us along or not.
And if he is, we'll respond a little
bit differently.
But it'll take about a week and a
half, two weeks.
We have Mr. Witkoff is here, is doing
a phenomenal job, is dealing with them very
strongly right now.
They they seem to want to do something.
But until the document is signed, I can't
tell you.
The Kremlin's proposal comes at a time of
increased Russian bombardment of Ukraine and heightened tensions.
Moscow says it's ready to end the war
if Ukraine eliminates what it calls the root
causes of the crisis.
So I was only able to find one
report on the details of the proposed talks.
And that came from boots on the ground
at France 24.
Think this woman's in Ukraine.
As it stands, the Russian proposals haven't changed
since 2022, and they amount to a capitulation
of Ukraine.
And it's not something that Ukrainian troops or
the Ukrainian government are ready to do constitutionally.
This is Ukrainian territory.
And on a legal standpoint, Ukraine will also
not recognize that those regions are partially occupied
by Russia.
There's another bone of contention.
It is the fact that Russia wants a
written promise by Ukraine and its allies on
the non-expansion of NATO eastwards.
And that's also something that Ukraine is not
ready to do, because Ukraine has a security
guarantee to try and prevent any further any
future attack of Russia on its own sovereign
territory.
While Ukraine still is seeking to join NATO,
even if Kiev also knows that it's not
going to happen in the near future.
As also to show the position also of
of Ukraine's allies, the Netherlands said earlier this
week that Volodymyr Zelensky was a welcome guest
at the next NATO summit.
So there are there proposals by Russia that
on the Ukrainian side wouldn't be acceptable.
Yeah.
So Zelensky is invited to the big splash
in The Hague, the big splash, the big
NATO summit.
So that, of course, will not help anything.
And it looks like Germany, not at all.
Germany doesn't want any peace at all.
Mr. Peepers.
After days of intense Russian shelling across Ukraine,
Germany's newly installed chancellor made an announcement that
could reshape the war.
There are no longer any range restrictions on
weapons delivered to Ukraine, neither from the British,
nor from the French, nor from us, nor
from the Americans.
His announcement means that Germany could soon adjoin
the list of countries already supplying long range
missiles.
Both Paris and London have sent Storm Shadow
and Scalp missiles used to target Russian forces
inside occupied Ukrainian territory.
And in November, President Joe Biden gave Kiev
the green light to strike inside Russia with
the Army Tactical Missile System ATAKMS. For Germany,
Monday's move signals a major shift in defense
policy and could finally open the door to
delivering Taurus.
With a longer range than the British and
French models, it would give Ukraine the ability
to hit targets deep behind enemy lines.
Friedrich Merz has voiced support for the delivery.
But on Monday, he didn't confirm whether Germany
would go ahead or whether his comments referred
to other long range missiles.
But Ukraine, he said, must be allowed to
strike back by hitting military targets inside Russia.
The Kremlin responded swiftly, saying plans to lift
any range limits would be dangerous.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to meet
Chancellor Merz in Berlin on Wednesday, according to
media reports.
That's what could possibly go wrong.
Give them the Taurus missiles.
Of course, it's going to be fine.
They just want war, man.
They want war.
Those are Germans, of course.
And a new player has entered the game.
In the northern regions, since Greenland is just
a non-starter, nothing's happening, we haven't bought
them yet, no deal has been done.
A new player enters, the new prime minister
of Iceland.
Have you seen her?
No, I have not.
Kristrún Fróstadóttir?
Or something like that?
Yeah, something daughter is always at the end
of it.
Fróstadóttir?
It is son or daughter, son or daughter.
You should look her up.
I'm very happy to be able to come
here.
This is my first visit to NATO as
prime minister of Iceland.
And this is a very important meeting for
us, both in run up to the big
meeting at the Hague, but also just to
strengthen and continue to strengthen our relationship with
NATO.
We have a new government since end of
December, and it's important that we get the
message across that this government is very supportive
of our presence in NATO.
We are very supportive and head on when
it comes to continuing transatlantic relations.
Iceland is obviously geographically both in Europe, but
also in North America.
We have tight knit relations with the EU
through our EEA agreement and through NATO presence,
but also with the US through a bilateral
defense agreement.
So that's why always when I meet with
EU leaders, when I meet with global leaders,
when I met with Mark today, we talk
about the importance of this transatlantic unity.
And this will always be our message.
It's also very important for us to hear,
for me to hear, for for the general
public in Iceland and also just NATO members
as a whole to hear that there's an
understanding of Iceland's position.
Yes, we are a country without a military,
but that doesn't mean we don't have strong
defenses and a role to play in NATO.
We came in as a founding member with
certain strengths.
Our strategic position, our facilities.
We do our very best to be a
strong ally.
And like you said, we are conducting and
creating for the first time a new security
and defense policy where we are focusing on
our specific strategic position in NATO.
We're willing to spend more when it comes
to defense related investments to strengthen our facilities
when it comes to Keflavik Air Base, when
it comes to ports, when it comes to
general host nation support.
And also very good and constructive talks on
Arctic security.
Now she's going to be a player.
Looks like it.
Yeah, she's a player.
She's young.
She looks like she's early 30s.
Yeah, player.
She's got a bunch of she also is
a perky minister for foreign affairs.
Oh, Katrina.
What?
I didn't see the minister of foreign affairs.
Yeah, you should look at her.
She looks like your wife.
Well, she must be super hot.
Hold on a second.
Kristian, so what's what's her name?
The.
Well, some ice in a door burger.
Katrine Gunnar's daughter.
Let's see if Katrine Dahl Dornberger.
There you go.
Well, Dornberger is not her.
Katrina Bull Dornberger.
Is that what you just said?
No, no.
Gunnar Gunnar's daughter.
OK, it's your last name.
Foreign minister, Iceland.
How about that?
Maybe that'll work better.
Yeah, that you'll get her.
I don't see her.
Oh.
OK.
Tina is much better looking than that, man.
What an insult.
So I have a good picture of her.
Hmm.
You don't know.
Did you see the minister of social affairs?
Ruff Inga Inga.
Yeah, she looks like a like a Berkeley
liberal.
Looks like an Inga.
Wow.
It's an interesting group.
Reasonably good looking group.
But Inga, how'd she slip in there?
How'd they let Inga into the cabinet?
Well, you know, you're ugly shaming.
Well, that's what we do on the show.
Yes, that's true.
But that's what we do.
Not so obviously.
Well, she's making a play.
She wants to get there.
You know, she wants to screw Greenland.
The Icelanders never.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's one over here.
You know, we'll do we'll do a deal.
Yeah.
You can have a base right in the
north.
I mean, I got lots of places you
could put a base.
Absolutely.
I think it's better weather.
It's better weather on the front.
I shared this with you.
I got a beautiful email from Billy Samoa
at Podify dot media.
I wanted to share this because he emailed
me and I was I was very flattered.
Subject of the email.
Have you ever considered a podcast, Adam?
This is a classic.
Have you ever imagined thousands of folks tuning
in to hear your thoughts?
That's what a podcast can do for a
very busy executive like you.
I'm Billy, CEO at Podify.
We handle every step to launch your show.
So just share ideas.
Curious.
Billy Samoa, I don't believe this was a
generated, I think it was a canned letter
that they wrote is too short to be
a I.
It's not flowery and long, lengthy and boring.
And it sounds like just somebody put together
a stock letter.
But how did they know I was a
busy executive?
Yes, that's the point is just a stock
letter that they had a mailing list of,
quote unquote, busy executives.
And you've got one of the mailings.
How did I get on that list?
The point is, is that these people are
doing no work.
Probably a Gen Z or, you know, just
bottom feeding.
It's ridiculous.
Now, we do have another that you brought
it up.
I wish you'd started with Adam.
I hope this email finds you well.
I know I'm surprised with this.
That would have been perfect.
Now we have a request from one of
our producers.
I was going to send him an email
telling him to send you this note, which
is a long note.
But he is an author for an epic
new series called the Universal Testaments.
This is somewhat biblical, I guess.
But he wants to put some Easter eggs
in his story, which includes a reference to
no agenda spelled backwards.
And on a nega show and have a
couple have us as a couple of characters
in as Easter eggs above both spelled backwards
kind of things.
And he wants to know if it's OK
with us.
Sounds good to me.
It sounds fine to me.
I don't mind to me, man.
Sounds good.
Yeah, we can be people should incorporate.
We've had this happen before where someone to
Easter egg this in some with some storyline.
Yeah.
Yeah.
All right.
Final clip for me.
The latest SpaceX launch and its liftoff for
SpaceX mega rocket Starship hundred and twenty three
meter spacecraft traveled further than the two previous
launches, which both ended in fiery explosions minutes
after takeoff.
Oh, the incredible flip.
The two stage vehicle consisting of the Starship
vessel mounted on a SpaceX super heavy rocket
booster started off.
Well, both parts separated, as expected.
Ship engine cut off.
However, it wasn't a complete success.
There were hopes Starship could complete a test
flight and release mock satellites.
But that didn't happen.
The spacecraft was uncontrollably spinning in space.
I love how that how their commentators describe
it.
Just to confirm, we did lose contact with
the ship officially a couple of minutes ago.
So that brings an end to the ninth
flight test.
It then reentered the Earth's atmosphere, likely landing
somewhere over the Indian Ocean.
But SpaceX said it was part of the
learning process.
With a test like this, success comes from
what we learn.
And today's test will help us improve Starship's
reliability as SpaceX seeks to make life multiplanetary.
It's the biggest and most powerful launch vehicle
ever built.
And owner Elon Musk wants it to go
where no man has gone before.
Mars.
His aim is that humans will go to
the red planet as early as 2029.
Rapid, unscheduled disassembly.
Always.
Yeah, I like the way they put it.
But that rocket is a monster.
And it's got a really an interesting flame.
Well, it has 33 engines.
Just just a fabulous product.
This is good.
Well, I think it's true.
You know, the test is a test is
a test.
You know, it's a test.
That's what it's for.
We're going to have didn't kill anybody.
Not yet.
Not yet.
Killed some fish on the way down.
I want to see some clips for the
next show.
OK.
I got some climate clips that are going
to be dynamite, but I want to play
them today.
I only have one clip left to play
for today.
Yes.
Well, as you know, there's always a these
even though through the period of time that
we've done this show, which is almost 18
years, we've seen recycled news stories.
And it's one of the things that crops
many times, many times.
And my favorite one is always the flying
car.
Well, and I'm waiting for one.
Yeah.
Well, I've been hearing about the flying car
since the 70s.
Yes.
And it comes around and goes and comes
and goes and comes.
And there's a couple of new ones out
there.
They're complete fakes.
Oh, yeah.
Phony.
And but another story I realized when I
saw this one is another story that keeps
repeating itself, which is the the the eminent
discovery of Noah's Ark.
They found it again.
Scientists exploring a boat shaped site in eastern
Turkey have found compelling signs it could be
the real Noah's Ark with hints of decayed
wood and manmade features.
Researchers are gearing up for a deeper look.
Fascinating, because when you dig in that part
of the world, everywhere you look, there is
history.
That would be blockbuster history.
That would be amazing.
I'm here for it.
I'm going to continue to watch and wait
for updates on that one.
Yes.
Where where was it found this time?
Some in the middle of nowhere in the
mountains of Turkey.
And it's it looks like a geological formation
that kind of looks like a large boat.
It's bull crap.
I have seen this story crop up every
six or seven years.
Yes.
Noah's Ark.
I wonder if we have any previous Noah's
Ark discoveries.
Noah's Ark ready to open in Kentucky.
I remember that one.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's supposed to be pretty funny to go
to.
Well, you have to see it to believe
it.
A new full scale replica of Noah's Ark
called the Ark Encounter is set to open
in Williamstown, Kentucky this Thursday.
No, that's the money, honey.
That's the money, honey, from 2016.
Yeah, I'm going to look it up on
Bingit.io. I think that's that's a good
one.
I want to I want to find the
other Noah's Ark stories and flying car.
Yeah, I'm all about it.
I'm ready for it.
I can't wait.
Have you seen the latest one that flies
around with these little propellers that couldn't get
anything off the ground?
Have you seen this one?
Yeah, it's like it's like a plastic car
on top of a drone.
And they pretend it's a flying car.
That's the one if that's the one.
I don't know.
All I know is you've got four.
It's a quadcopter.
Yeah.
With somebody sitting on it.
And it's got the props are about five
inches, maybe.
And and there's four of it.
This thing couldn't lift anything.
Oh, it's just not physically possible.
Is this a single seater?
The yeah.
Yeah, it's like a motorcycle.
The Jetson.
Oh, the motorcycle one.
Oh, the motorcycle.
No, no.
There's two motorcycle ones.
You have to keep you and be a
lookout.
The one that I is the one where
he's inside of a hangar.
Yeah.
And the motorcycle takes off and flies inside
the hangar, then shoots outside and comes back
in.
Yeah, I've seen that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
That's like the eagle who picked up the
baby.
I'm going to show my support by donating
to No Agenda.
Imagine all the people who could do that.
Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
Well, trust me when I say the show
is not over yet.
We still have our tip of the day
coming up.
We have our meetup reports and we have
our fabulous end of show mixers.
And we also want to thank the rest
of our supporters.
Fifty dollars and above.
Quite the list today because it's for two
shows.
John C.

sticks of wax, which you can use to
seal your important correspondence with.
And of course, a certificate of authenticity.
But more importantly, we just want to welcome
you to the roundtable of the No Agenda
Knights and Dames.
Yeah, baby, the No Agenda meetups, that's where
you meet people like Steve and Stephanie, who
will take you out to lunch, to dinner.
Even better when they come through the hill
country.
You will meet many people at these meetups.
We brought up a lot of fond memories
of the super spreader event in Vegas.
It was so good.
And I wish I could go to every
single one of them.
It's physically now possible, but they are so
much fun.
You can find them all at knowagendameetups.com.
You will find people there who you will
connect with.
And that connection always brings you protection.
They are your first responders in an emergency.

I don't know whose dime he's going on.
It's not his own.
You'd be surprised.
You'd be surprised.
Unless he's got a gig.
I mean, that would make sense.
By the way, the hot water's better than
I thought.
Okay.
The Duke of the South gets around.

If there isn't one, start one yourself.
It's easy.
Sometimes you want to go hang out with
all the nights and days.
You want to be where you want to
be.
Triggered or held to blame.
You want to be where everybody feels the
same.
It's like a party.
It's like a party, everybody.
Now we do have a couple of selections
for an end of show ISO.
It's a thing.
We've been doing it for a long time.
It's a thing.
We like doing it.
Although John, of course, is cheating these days.
He uses AI.
And I just try to get the old
isolated clips, just stuff that is kind of
fun hanging out there.
Do you even have any ISOs?
Nope.
I decided not to cheat, as you put
it.
Oh, well, then you get- I'm giving
you the winner.
You get to choose from my house.
I have something good.
My voice should be heard loud and clear.
So that's my worst.
Yeah, I guess so.
I have no agenda.
Good luck for the weekend.
I hate it when they use artificial.
It wasn't artificial.
But okay, but okay.
Decent, decent.
Doable.
It's usable, it's usable.
The whole world is lying.
No, it's too corny.
All right, this has been an emergency pod.
Well, I mean, I like it, but I
don't like it as the end.
I like that one, the second one.
I have no agenda.
Good luck for the weekend.
Yeah, I think we'll go with that.
We'll go with that one.
And right now we have the always trusty
tip of the day.
It's one of my various iterations of this
tip of the day.
I have to nerd out once in a
while.
Nerding out?
This is a great tip for anyone who
has an old computer or they have an
old Mac, for example, or they have, or
they want to play around or they had
some software that they used to like and
the new stuff does no good.
Hmm.
This is, here's the website.
This is one of those sites where you
have to put the, you know, I don't
know why they do this, but the www
is necessary.
www.oldversion.com.
Oh, let me check this out.
Oldversion.com.
This is old versions of tons and tons
and tons of software that won't, a lot
of stuff that used to run on your
Windows 95 machine, but won't run on Windows
11 and it's something you liked.
Oh, wow.
What a list.
The list goes on forever.
And this is a great resource for people
out there who either want to go back
to an old version of a product, which
is sometimes better, or they have a machine
that won't run a new product, but they
like this old product.
This is a fabulous site.
I'm looking at it.
Windows, Mac, Linux, they got all this stuff.
They got Win Patrol.
I haven't seen that in a long time.
LimeWire, BearShare, Donkey, E-Donkey 2000.
These are all classics.
That is quite interesting.
It's an unsecure site, I might add.
Yeah, it's an unsecure site and you might
have, you know, you might be careful, but
I think this is, I stumbled onto this
and I said, oh my God, this is
terrific.
I am in complete agreement.
I think that is terrific.
I'm going to get me E-Donkey 2000
right after the show.
Can't, I can't wait.
There it is, ladies and gentlemen.
Find more at tipoftheday.net.
John C.
Duborek, tip of the day.
And we thank Dana Brunetti as always for
creating that.
Where would we be without Dana Brunetti?
We'd be nowhere.
We'd be nothing.
We'd be nobody.
End of show mixes.
We've got classics from Bill Montenay, brand new
Nautilus K, and Sound Guy Steve.
Classics, everybody.
These are good.
You will want to stick around for them.
Also coming up next on the stream, we
have a walk through the mind of the
one and only Billy Bones.
This is episode 321, Built Not Bought.
Billy Bones is an interesting fellow.
So check that out.
And you can just keep listening to the
stream if you're listening live at trollroom.io
or noagenda.stream or your modern podcast app.
Thank you, trolls, for being here.
And we'll be back on Sunday for more
hours of— Wow, we almost did four hours
today.
More hours of infotainment and media deconstruction.
Well, we had a lot of people to
thank, John.
We had a lot of people to thank.
Coming to you from the heart of the
Texas Hill Country, which is Fredericksburg, Texas.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Curry.
And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're still
wishing Kennedy a happy birthday.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
We return on Sunday.
Please join us then for another episode of
No Agenda.
Until then, adios, mofos, and hooey, hooey, and
such.
Shut up, slave.
Lift your shirt sleeve.
Fauci's gone.
Case is falling down, down.
I spoke to those high school kids here

And it was— Well, that's right.
You were a big— You were the superstar
speaker to the high school.
Yes.

Hairdo or hats or anything like that, propaganda.
Put simply, propaganda is the dissemination of ideas
intended to convince people to think and act
in a particular way and for a particular
purpose.
New CNN reporting shows there's been a sharp
decline in vaccination ads on television.
The COVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe
and effective.
There's a lot of misinformation about the COVID
-19 vaccine.
So it's critical that you get the facts
from sources you can trust.
The fact is the vaccines are safe and
effective.
More sickness and death across our nation.
A campaign of shock and awe has begun.
It's all of our responsibility to slow the
spread of the coronavirus.
People you know and trust are getting vaccinated.
The most affected are Black women.
Everyone has to keep everyone else safe.
The vaccines have all been through and met
the necessary safety and quality standards.
Now that every American over the age of
16 is eligible to get the vaccine, I
want to talk about you getting yours.
Getting a vaccine can protect not only you
but your loved ones.
The vaccine is safe, safe.
COVID vaccines are safe and effective.
It's effective.
It's effective.
It's easy.
It's free.
And it cannot change your DNA.
The next step on the journey is yours.
Our health is worth a shot.
I beg the public to take this virus
more seriously.
The ultimate end game of all this is
vaccination.
The best podcast in the universe.
Adios, mofo.
Dvorak.org slash N-A.
I have no agenda.
Good luck for the weekend.
