Adam curry, John C Devora. Day
December 18 2022. This is your
award winning keep our nation
media assassination episode
1500 13.
This is no agenda.
We got missing mania and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in FEMA Region number six in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
Danna from Northern Silicon
Valley. We're all congratulating
Argentina and I have questions.
I'm Josie to kill
you came to the right guy if you
have questions
about soccer expert have no
agenda about football, football.
The football? Yes, just since
when did the French team become
all black? Except for the one
guy the gold?
I I think they've been pretty
black for a while.
I watch all these games, these
club games. There's never a
black guy. But now the whole
national team is all black.
No, no, you're wrong. The French
have lots of black guys on their
team always have. I mean, the
French actually can't play any
and you need to have your
African if you're African,
French. They're the ones where
you can pledge friendship for
God. For the for Africans.
They're the ones that know how
to play, but I think I think
that's pretty much been that
way. As far as I can remember.
Okay, that's question number.
Okay.
You got a question number one.
I got three questions. Okay.
Question number two. Yeah. So
this guy Messi. That's on
Argentina. Yeah. They say this
is his first World Cup. That
he's won. Yes. And he's been
playing for 17 years. And this
is the first time he's won the
World Cup. And yet is the
greatest player in the world.
No, actually, he doesn't get the
golden ball trophy. He gets the
he missed out because Bombay
Bombay did better than he did.
So he's not necessarily the best
in the world.
Well, that's what they said on
the on the broadcast. Yeah.
Well, what
was that NPR?
Thirdly why don't they just cut
the game short and just do
shootouts?
Come on, it was this was a good
match.
What's the point of a game it
goes on for hours? And then it
still have to sit there and do
shoot outs? Why don't you just
do the shoot outs to begin with
and give it up? Give the rest of
it up to half the games in this
World Cup tournament? Where
shoot outs at the end?
That's how it goes when you have
equal strength and it just comes
down to why don't you make that
decision early on to just to
shoot out so this is why no one
loves you in Argentina or France
or anywhere in Europe or even
even in Qatar because I asked
the obvious no because you're
you're you're mocking You're
mocking the sport that is bigger
than any other sport in the
world. Certainly your sumo Okay,
there There you go. that'll
that'll do it. Thank you. I had
personally I thought France
would win. It's interesting to
see Argentina wins. How does
this play on a political global
scale? Any any thoughts?
No, I was thinking about why
would the I think it's just up
to to cement the idea of white
supremacy.
Oh, how about that? Well, that
works. Because pretty much all
the Argentinian guys are are
white.
Yes, I think it was just uh, Oh,
interesting.
White supremacy and and
overnight, they flew in Elon
Musk and Jared, together,
hanging out in new Jared Kushner
are those the guy from Subway
sandwiches?
No, Elon and Jared were at the
World Cup together. We tracked
his jet on Mastodon Did you
can't track Elon jet on Twitter
anymore? We track it on Mastodon
So Elon has got nothing better
to do than fly. I'd say that
first of all this is make this
clear. Flying to Qatar is a pain
in the ass. Well, if
you have your own Gulfstream six
it gets a little
you know, it's still a pain. I'm
talking about the time involved.
Yes. Oh, yeah. And you went last
night. Via London's got
nothing better to do it despite
the fact that is on the game was
on in 4k. Yeah. On Fox. So you
can watch it in high res and
high def super high def. And but
I'd rather go I'm gonna go
there. I'm gonna fly. Dammit. Oh
my time. Yeah.
What you must be confused with
this illusion that Elon Musk is
running anything. This is your
confusion. And he's not I gotta
tell you right now. I am
convinced he doesn't do his own
Twitter. That is it's too good.
It's too sophisticated. I'm I'm
he at best he has someone
helping him. It's just not
possible to be that good with
your tools
writers. He must have money he
must have writers probably got
writers for everything movie
we've heard him speak I've got
that one clip
really speak anyway, we we lost
a lot of good people in the past
couple of hours, people just
falling down dead. I don't know
if you heard it was really
quite, quite horrific.
Take a look at this big number
right here. 1.5 billion that's
with a B billion people
worldwide are expected to watch
the World Cup final on
Sunday, hard to believe but it
is the most popular sport in the
world. That means a lot of
anxious fans everywhere. There's
a lot of research out there that
shows that rooting for your
favorite team can cause a lot of
stress. Yeah, not just
emotionally but also can cause
some physical
things. I mean, quite literally.
And all kidding aside, it can be
a stress test of sorts. So take
a look at some of the medical or
physiologic signs, as per the
Cleveland Clinic, but we have
documentation of this in the
medical literature.
What is well, thanks for the
backup details as to
that fight or flight response.
Adrenaline is released, that
forces our heart to beat faster,
to push more oxygen throughout
our body to our brain to our
muscles. What do we do sometimes
when we're watching sporting
events, while we can over
indulge maybe eating hot dogs,
fatty foods and alcohol, that's
also a strain on our
cardiovascular system. Who would
be most at risk in this
scenario, people with high blood
pressure high cholesterol a body
mass index of over 30 who are
dealing with obesity, let's say
we're using the condition of
overweight and someone with
diabetes or someone who smokes
all at high risk for this stress
test. As we say,
we lost people just guarantees
stress test. Horrible. So
I should mention that some years
back there was a similar study
that this is really old news to
be honest about it. And they
determined that if you route it
with if your wife for football
watchers, yeah, real American
format, not football, American
football, football, American
football. So they said that the
elation that you feel if your
team wins is fairly similar to
what the players felt. If your
team loses you have the same
negative kind of entered the
same form with you have you
suffer as much. And that led me
to becoming a fairweather
friend. I have or fairweather
fan. Same thing you don't want
to get so I've always route for
the top teams. It's good for
your health. Yeah, exactly. Now,
I have watched and just to say
just a little insight to my
personality. If I'm not really
invested in any team, and I'm
okay, I'm rooting for one team
or another let's say the Green
Bay's playing against the Kansas
City Chiefs and one teams
kicking the other ones as I'm
rooting for the team that's
doing that and the other team
starts making a comeback. It
looks like they're gonna win
your sides in the middle of the
game. They deserve to lose.
It's much better for you. And
you know what, ladies and
gentlemen, he is only 88 years
old. So you don't want to take
his advice. He's doing good so
far. And I think it's pretty
great
had been condemned by my friends
for being this way. You've
told me this and I've always
thought it was quite fabulous.
You have to have no problem
switching sides. Now then. I was
happy to see that FIFA the
International Football
Association. The Federation told
Zelensky No, you cannot share
your message of peace at the
World Cup final. That's the
first nerve. You know, I gotta
play this for you. You know,
goodness, this is so horrible.
So I've always been a David
Letterman fan you know back in
the 80s late 80s 90s Everyone
MTV we would not watch the
tonight show of course not. Now
you watch it a Dave You know
Dave was doing cool stuff. And
Dave you could kind of trust the
Dave would always be a little
bit against the man. But oh no,
no. Dave went to Keith. And went
to that phony baloney subway
station the one that's basically
a TV studio all lit No, all
beautiful. And he interviews the
Lenski And right on cue we get
an error at
the Java via key. Do you see it
other Java SE como Yo amo? Is
that a switcheroo? Yes, I can
hear the side Aaron what what
should we do? Nothing. In any
other circumstance, that
wouldn't be reassuring, but here
with you, I feel reassured what
was that? What was the siren
indicating?
And then he goes on. Thanks,
Dave. what a what a worse.
He sold out to the man. I said,
yeah, the man I'm years ago way
it was. It was. I think it was
before even before Trump was
elected.
Yeah, he'd already flipped. Gone
crazy became a
super. Because Obama maybe or I
know he's chummy with Clinton.
But Obama invited him to the
White House a couple of times, I
believe.
I think it wasn't Obama, one of
his first guests on that new
show that day. Yeah, I think so.
But he's always he's always been
the I remember no, he was doing
comedians and getting coffee and
cars or whatever with with
Seinfeld. He was raging against
Trump. Like who cares what you
think about that? Joke make a
joke, man. Don't don't. Anyway,
I did check in with you
yesterday to make sure you were
okay after the 3.6 magnitude
earthquake pretty much under
your butt.
Pretty close. It was walking
distance definitely to the
epicenter.
Now, did you go to the
epicenter? Is there a whole
there is
no there's nothing else or Ito
Plaza for all I can
tell. Now. 3.6 is not massive.
But
that club when you're on top of
it, you can feel it. Alright, so
what so what happened? What time
they just lay here
there was not much I managed to
giant rock. And so the rock is
like a big ship. And so the rock
loses one. And so it makes a
really lessens the effect but it
was noticeable. Woke it was 330
in the morning, woke me up from
a dead sleep. And I you know,
woke me up just as it started.
So I got to feel the whole thing
when I for a couple seconds. It
wasn't that much. But it was
rumble I was in the place was
shaken. And I did I wait, it
stopped. And then I said was if
there's gonna be another thing?
Nope. Remember, I packed a bit.
Now, is this because of fracking
in the area?
No, what is a million faults
around here? This whole area is
riddled with them. So
now you're on the fault line.
Now,
I don't know what that was. This
is probably an offshoot from the
Hayward Fault. I'm not sure what
I'm a little worried about this
rock you're sitting on? Can this
rock move? Can it roll
a little bit further? Well, it's
embedded into the earth deep
underground. Okay. If you want
to good, it's bad. Right?
Because most of the San
Francisco is this way is San
Francisco is actually when it
has a quake the only the
flatlands in the areas that have
been made with the bill that or
do you know
where they need the power? I was
reading the New York Times. I
know, outside that I was but I
was reading the I know, there
was this article about San
Francisco downtown San
Francisco, how it's completely
destroyed. Now that, you know
tech companies are firing
everybody closing their doors
going out of business. I'm sure
it was slanted being the New
York Times. But pretty much
downtown is just gone. There's
no activity. There's nothing
going on anymore except for
homelessness and drug users and
and bullcrap. And that's that's
human crap. Human. Yes. I'm
sorry, human crap. That's where
they need to have the epicenter.
Yeah, let's let's rebuild that
thing. Yeah, I think I think
it's time. If I was in general
planning, I'd say boys focus it
over there.
Well, I don't know what they
get. San Francisco has his
moments. Nowadays. It's just
poorly managed.
Look, I was in San Francisco in
2006 789. was horrible then.
It's been poorly managed since
before Governor Newsom ever
since the Democrats took it over
permanently. It's like a
permanent job for Democrats.
They have mismanaged it just
what they do. They don't know
how to do anything. said get
elected and and get good dinners
and know how to do that. Get
good dinners. They have taste.
Anyway, we'll have our own
moment here of destruction. It's
coming. I think Thursday. Where
the arctic blast is coming back
to Texas remember the one that
booty Arctic Blau Yeah, the one
that froze us to death
two years ago hitting again?
Yeah, yeah. arctic blast
to freeze Texas next week. We'll
bring fresh test to the power
grid. Yeah. humming
the same playbook.
And they're predicting 15
degrees. Which for Texans is
cold.
That's cold for anyone that's
cold for
us. Yeah, I think the cold blast
is slated for just around Korea.
dismiss. And it could be one of
the most extreme cold air masses
to pour into the southern part
of the country in years, which
would be exactly two years. Now
this is a computer model. So
that means nothing. But But that
means nothing. But if it's going
to happen by December 23, we
shouldn't see freezing
temperatures during the day is
way it's already cold. It's
already down to 30 at night
here. Yikes. That's not too bad.
It's not too bad. No, it's not
too bad. Let's, let's just talk
about Elon and Twitter for a
minute. Because this is this is
so fun to watch what's
happening. Whereas I would say
for decades and decades, the
brunt of all jokes in America
was certainly when it came to a
class of professionals would
have to be lawyers. What do you
call 10? Lawyers at the bottom
of the pool a good start? I
think we can agree that
journalists are have now become
more hated than lawyers. It's
getting there. It's really a
thing. It's fantastic.
But if you want to talk about
Twitter, I should mention that
right as we speak, the Twitter
auctions going on
now. But they have nothing good.
I looked at it, they got some
chairs, and
you gotta look at it with with
the no agenda perspective. Why
does an office in San Francisco
have a 230 $1,000 Cappuccino
machines? Plus another three or
four single shot? Five to $6,000
Cappuccino machines? And why
does every office chair there is
like 1000 $1,200 chair, they're
selling them for 50. So why do
they need all these screens?
There's like these workstations,
giant screens, a whiteboard,
electronic whiteboard things
which cost $20,000. They have 10
of them. There's it's
unbelievable what a just a
flagrant abuse of funds, which
went into that they just bit
more venture capital money. We
need more $1,000 chairs
now, though, that's the reason
why is it the time at Twitter to
get the best the best and the
best employees had to compete
with Google and Apple. And so
you have to have your perks.
That's how sick Silicon Valley
is.
And to make it worse, you know,
because if you don't Silicon
Valley, all these places have
their own kitchens and they have
their own cafeterias and they
have free food for all the
employees, the kitchen equipment
that they had, at the at the
headquarters over in San
Francisco, you never need to
leave this place in your
lifetime. They had like, like
most restaurants don't have the
gear that these guys have. Well,
did you put it in a bid on
anything?
No, no, because smart money is
going to pick up the stuff at at
half the price. I can't afford
it at a 25% of its value. I
can't afford it. That's how
expensive this What would
you like to have if you could
choose one item on the list?
I think the 36 inch stove would
be nice.
Gotcha. The 36 inch stove
I have a 36 inch stove with six
burners that I could use that
that's also a couple of chairs.
Maybe, but it's not that it's
not that
maybe we can hook something up
for you. A couple of chairs.
Okay
well, you got to you got to
oxygen go on as we're doing the
show.
I'm looking at it. Yeah, of
course. Why nice saw it. You
know, so everyone's talking
about the cappuccino machines
come on this bullshit. It's bull
crap has been going on for a
while. I'm not gonna argue that
point is an absolute fact what
you say and it actually kind of
is squandering money on behalf
of these companies using venture
capital funds and hoping to make
it on the back end with a public
offering. And they didn't make
it on the back end was $44
billion from from from Elon. So
it all paid out and then Elon
gets to sell off this stuff.
Sure. Not input into you know,
the crates and shit. He likes to
work with
crates, beanbags. beanbags.
I have I have some Twitter BS
clips from PBS. Okay, good. So,
Twitter B SPBs.
Twitter is facing intense
criticism after a series of
moves by billionaire and owner
Elon Musk. United Nations spoke
out against the company today,
calling its new suspensions of
some news reporters Twitter's at
Twitter accounts, disturbing and
setting a quote, dangerous
precedent. Then Avas has more.
That's right, Judy. Twitter
suspended the accounts of at
least eight journalists
yesterday from the Washington
Post CNN, The New York Times and
others with limited explanation.
Each of those accounts had
recently posted about Elon Musk
or his policy changes on content
mod ration. Some posted links to
an account Twitter banned this
week that tracked Musk's private
jets through public data. The
self described free speech
absolutist is now facing
backlash. Oh,
this is the best part is that
journalists are like, oh my oh
my. This is the end of
civilization. He is banning
journalists. Oh,
they can't believe this have
been banned in the past. They
were banned all the time on the
old Twitter's Yeah, but
not not not the New York Times
and Washington Post. And not
Taylor Lorenz. Oh, no.
Taylor Lorenz, just before going
to this clip, too. She has a
substack and she bitched in my
wife. But you know, you know
what, she only was off for like,
two hours they put her back on.
But
the thing was, she would she she
does this really, she
chickenshit type thing where she
will tweet out. We've we've
gotten some information that we
want to discuss with you. We
just want to handle this right?
So please contact us. I mean, if
I saw that I'd be like block you
get out of here Delete. That's
that's that's what she does.
very empathetic, very. It's like
you deserve to be deleted for
that. She does that everybody. I
knew I have a deadline and 11
deadline, you got to ask me to
how we're going to print
whatever we have.
So I want to read from her
column. All right. I've been on
Twitter since 2010. And I've run
Twitter accounts. But actually
she says and I have run Twitter
account to be clear Oh, sorry
about that ego. You know copy
editing doesn't hurt a Twitter
account for major media brands
including Verizon WordPress, the
Daily Mail People Magazine, the
hill and dozens more. Never once
in my 13 year career in social
media, if I received a single
Terms of Service or community
guidelines violations, and I'm
thinking wait a minute, is there
some conflict of interest
between this journalist and
somebody running the accounts
route for Verizon and People
Magazine and dozens of more
operations so probably, I would
think so. Anyway, so yeah. The
Okay, let's go to clip two.
For more on all of this. I'm
joined by tech journalist Kara
Swisher, she is the host of the
really, really really oh you
have to do that to
me Ah, Kara Swisher and pivot
podcast has been covering Elon
Musk for more than two decades.
Kara, welcome, as we just
mentioned, few people have known
uncovered Elon Musk as long as
you have. I'm just curious.
Did she also mentioned by any
chance I'll play the last seven
seconds that she is a paid
advisor for a competing product
that she mentioned that did you
mentioned in the intro at all?
This is you're watching my god
she didn't
unfold as you saw the
suspensions unfold last night?
What are you thinking? What's
going on here?
What are you thinking? Are you
from? Oh,
I again, I have to sit here for
a reason.
This is this is how my this is?
My blood pressure goes up when
you play this.
I know you got to root for her.
Yeah, so as you notice, this
clip has been stopped. I'm
introducing a new a new aspect
to our show. Oh,
we did not have a meeting about
this.
Do you want me to continue to
playing these clips? Or do you
want to stop them? Knowing that
is one of the people that you
hate listen to you know, I'm
giving you the opportunity to
stop the clip.
Thank you. Is that is that the
new item stop the clip.
Stopped. Yes, it that's what
we're gonna call it.
Stop the clip. Great. Okay.
Yeah, I don't want those. Let's
go on to something else. Okay.
No, I need to hear it.
Well, it's the latest. I mean,
it's been going on for since he
bought it. So one one crazy
thing after the next and this is
just the latest and things he
said he wouldn't do that he's
doing such as creating a
moderation Council and then
making decisions on his own or,
you know, tweeting
misinformation when he said he
wouldn't or release on Twitter
files that are probably
incomplete. This is just the
latest and he's just trying to
create a sense of crisis and
drama around the company, I
guess so people will be talking
about
that part is true. I agree with
Kara Swisher on this he's he's
creating the hype around the
company to keep people talking
about it. 100 100%
He likes attention. I don't know
if you've noticed. I'm like you.
This is the same man who
reinstated banned accounts right
arguing about free speech. Is
any of this about young speech,
do you think?
No, it's about the whims of the
richest man in the world and
what he feels like doing on any
given day and I think it's not
much more complicated than that.
He's bought it he bought it for
too much money and he'll do you
know, he bought and he'll broke
break it if he wants to, and
that seems to be what he's
doing. There's no this is not
someone who thinks deeply about
big issues like free speech and
things like that. It's a lot of
parody. Did nonsense that he
then uses as excuses to do what
he's doing. He's just mad at
some just a jet guy who, who
published public information. He
then took it out on journalists
who wrote about that, that
controversy. And that's where we
are. It's really not that
complex. It's someone who has a
who has who has who lacks
impulse control.
At the same time, we know that
there are real world
consequences to what we've seen
unfold on Twitter in the last
several weeks, right. We know
researchers from the Center for
countering digital hate the anti
Defamation League and others
have tracked a dramatic surge in
hate speech and anti semitism,
anti black rhetoric on Twitter.
How worried are you about those
real world consequences? While
all of this plays out?
She said without evidence. What
is that? What is that? You know?
If anything, Elon Musk went
right to work with, with anti
semitism after Kanye booted
Kanye off showed charts and
graphs, which was very
convincing. Luke, look at you
hate us down. Okay, so boy, this
is so riveting. I'm glad PBS has
time to have Kara Swisher on for
this in depth analysis. Can I
still start the clip? Or is it
too late? Now? Do I have one
more? There's one more. And and
it stopped. You notice where it
stopped on a question? Yes, you
can stop the clip. But I want to
mention a couple of things. One,
why do you bring somebody on if
she's not going to give analysis
but just spew what sounds like
bigoted hate. There's no
analysis here. It's just
calling. It's calling someone
names. This is not what PBS is
turned into. And I will have
clips later when we have
Capehart and Brooks discussing
things that there is no analysis
whatsoever is just
bigotry. I'm sorry. What she is
doing is she is doing
journalism, not bigotry,
journalism. Big, big lism. She's
doing journalism, because she's
saying it as it is. This is the
truth. This is what's happening.
She's just reporting the facts.
Alright, let's wrap it.
I'm not that worried only
because it's not a very big
platform. That's the one of the
big problems with Twitter, it's
never been a very good business.
And it's never been very big. It
does hold the attention of the
media and politicians,
unlike the company post dot
news, which I'm advising for
money. Celebrities have
long since abandoned this
because of the toxicity of it,
and it doesn't really help them
that much. And so I think I
think that's where the problem
is, is it can set the tone for
discussions. But in general, if
you if I walked outside here in
San Francisco right now, very
few people would know what this
guy was up to.
Most people outside in San
Francisco are drug addicts,
homeless who have no internet or
knows. So yeah, I walked
outside when she started in San
Francisco right now, you know
what the hell was going on?
They would probably beat her to
a pole pin,
except in broad terms is that
he? He's uh, you know, he's the
PT Barnum Barnum of the Internet
age. And so I'm worried about
it. And I think it's always
dangerous when things are
allowed to be toxic on a
platform, but at the same time,
it's not a very big platform.
Yeah. So I'm always worried. You
know, as the grandmother of
Silicon Valley, whenever there's
something toxic on a platform,
I'm a little concerned. At the
same
time journalists do use it, many
rely on it, it can be a powerful
message for journalism and
powerful tool. We saw the VP of
the European Commissioner
respond saying the suspensions.
She thought violated the EU's
digital services and Media
Freedom Act. She tweeted there
are red lines and sanctions soon
there. What about here in the
US? Do you think Twitter needs
to be regulated? No,
I don't. And I don't I think
that's going to be a real
problem here is because of First
Amendment issues. They really
Twitter can do whatever it
wants, unfortunately, and it
happens to be owned by someone
who's somebody responsible about
running it or not somewhat very
responsible about running it
very.
So she did not disclose that
she's a paid advisor the whole
pivot show. Her boyfriend Scott
Galloway is an investor in post
dot news. And what's
interesting, you know, I follow
all the journos on Mastodon and
first of all, every single one
of them, they tweet and and to
the same thing, so they whatever
they post on Mastodon, they're
still if they are allowed to if
they're having an account, like
Jeff Jarvis, Jeff Jarvis. Hi, I
show all the journalists how to
do the mastodon because I'm Jeff
Jarvis. I know how to do it. And
he is such a dick. But he also
crossed Oh, I just got he's he's
my new hate. He's my hate watch.
And he posts everything on
Twitter and Mastodon acting like
big man on campus. He's got he's
got the message on one on one
for journalists. Yes, I put that
together so I can show people
how to do it. And so the
journalists come in. They always
say, well, we've got to change
this Macedon is not working the
way we want it? And of course
they get exactly what they
deserve which is no Shut up, go
go build your own do whatever we
don't care. My favorite, my
favorite mean, are you
telling me that he wants them to
switch stuff when this is kind
of one of those open source
projects that you can do
whatever you want with and you
can make it yours exactly the
way you want especially
for black people. Because black
people can't live as their full
selves because there's no quote
tweet I think we went over this
on a previous episode because
there's no way to quote and
tweet that's the call response
that black Americans need to
have without that Macedon is
racist. Exactly. But the best
thing that happened was this was
this is a media ight you know
media I think I think they're
more right leaning than left
probably and so there's how Elon
Musk starts blocking or banning
any link to Mastodon and there's
you know, forever there's been a
join mastodon.com address which
is you know, explains how you
can join and sign up for for
instance and account on instant
somewhere. This num not miss
reads it. He doesn't read join
Mastodon No, he reads John
Mastodon and, and reports the
following. Before the latest
wave of suspensions, Twitter had
already suspended the account
posting the location of Musk's
jet. Then the platform removed
John Mastodon, the founder of a
competing social media company
named after himself, just for
posting a link to the jet
trackers Mastodon account. This
idiot doesn't even know where
Mastodon comes from. Miss reads
join mastodon.com Thinking that
the guy who created mastodons
name was John mastodon.
And he named Mastodon, Roseanne
Roseanna. Danna bit
completely. Of course, they
immediately know that's been
taken down, but I have a
screenshot of it in the show
notes is crazy.
Oh, send me a send me this.
Yeah. It goes to the newsletter.
Go it has to.
Let's see what else. Oh, yeah,
this was interesting. Barry
Weiss has written about the
Twitter reporting. And there's a
couple of nuggets in this
substack article that she wrote.
And here's here's the
journalists that she's been
working with Matt Taibbi
investigative reporters
connected to the free press.
This is the thing we're trying
to figure out what it is
including Abigail Schreier,
Michael Shellenberger Leighton
Woodhouse, plus Free Press
reporters Susie Weiss, which I
think is Barry's wife, Peter
Zavod, Nick, Olivia Ryan gold,
Isaac Graf steam. I have not
heard of any of these people. So
they camped out in a windowless
fluorescent lit room at Twitter
headquarters began looking
through the company's vast
archive of internal
communications. But what's
interesting is she says that
they had to work through lawyers
using E discovery tools, which
he describes as software
designed for lawyers to help
them search huge amounts of
information. If you're working
through lawyers, are the lawyers
using the eDiscovery tools and
giving you the results? I'm, I'm
troubled by the by the writing
the actual sentence, we had to
work through lawyers using E
discovery tools. Sounds to me
like they are being handed
things that has come
out exactly what it sounds like.
That's the way that sentence is
structured this which DNA we had
to work through lawyers that you
can stop, full stop right there.
Whatever tools they were using,
what difference does it make
that kind of doesn't mean
anything. But if you're working
through lawyers, and lawyers are
handing you stuff, which means
it's contaminated. Yes,
that's the way I read it. Yeah.
So this will just continue and
and she you know, I think Kara
Swisher is correct. And I've
always said to Elon, why say
differently? She said Elon Musk
is the PT Barnum of tech. I've
always said he is more like the
Kim Kardashian of tech. He's a
great endorser. And you know, He
clearly doesn't doesn't work at
any of these companies. Really.
I wouldn't have time to jaunt
down to off to Qatar to go hard
just to watch a one loan game
off
to Doha. Everybody has one does.
So as one does. I'm off to Doha.
What can I say? Yeah, so it's
stopped by your doulos shopper,
stopover in Dubai, pick up some
rugs and do some duty free
shopping and be on your way
back. Let's see. Let's see where
he is. Hold on. Let me go look
up Elon jet. I always love how
every every journalist that
complains about, you know Elon
kicking them off Twitter. It's
publicly accessible information.
Yeah, there's a lot of publicly
available in here. Go Elon, Elon
Musk jet. Let me see. Do we have
a new update? This is three
hours ago. So his trip to Doha?
15 hours, 30 minutes total. II
took up about seven, almost 8000
gallons of fuel. So probably
about 85 tons of co2 emissions.
I love how they're doing that to
him now. Oh, he's killing the
climate. I don't think he's ever
cared about the climate. Right.
He's still there. He hasn't come
back. Yeah, there was a party if
they went via London. So he flew
to London first then from London
there must have refueled there
and then went to Doha. Yeah,
that would be the route. Yeah.
So he's party. Yes. Party.
Party with Argentina. Yeah, of
course. Hello. I found he's
there. And they invited him over
and they're all with him. And
he's drinking with them and
smoking cigars. Probably. And
they'd get these Bobby doused.
doused. Yeah. Good for him.
I agree. Hey, Ilan, come on
over, man. Oh,
you can speak Spanish. You know,
he doesn't know what's going on.
Yeah, fine.
Excellent. All right. Now, where
do we go from here? And we've
already done the most the
biggest news, the only news that
anybody seems to care about.
Well, there was an interesting.
This is also all awfully long.
But there's a couple of gems in
here. But PBS NewsHour, Judy,
one of her last jobs. I was yes.
And I think this is a Philly,
they ran this yesterday. Or I'm
sorry. They ran this on Friday.
And I think it was like
Christmas vacation. And they
this is just a filler. She's
dead already. Yeah, everyone's
gone. Nobody except us. You and
I the only people that work
during these moments and
some trolls. Can the troll you
and me and some trolls. That's
all that's the only people
working. Yeah. So she
did an interview with the CIA
director Bill Burns. Oh, okay.
Now Burns is an interesting guy.
And the first clip is, uh, is
her introducing him. So we and I
kept it in there because it was
it's good background. This guy's
no slouch. When he speaks he's a
little like, some of those guys
in the past rules he I think
would be one of them. And some
some other guys that were very
soft spoken. Never gives away
the store does doesn't seem to
have a big ego that needs to be
stroked, or he doesn't brag
about anything like like Brennan
was the probably the worst CIA
director they've ever had
when it came to bragging for
sure.
And so it's hard to get. So
that's why I had to get so many
clips because you gotta like dig
into each one. There's only
there's two out of the eight
that have something interesting
in them that is like, oh, that
could mean something to us. But
let's start with billboards
interview PBS.
Bill Burns has been a career
diplomat, a pillar of the State
Department for decades, rising
to the number two job deputy
secretary in President Obama's
second term. He's been
ambassador to Russia, and was
instrumental in setting up the
Iran nuclear deal. But for much
of the past two years, he's worn
a different hat for President
Biden, Director of the CIA. It
was a change of venue and a
scene for him, but not of the
mission as he sees it. And with
a world full of direct and
urgent challenges. These are not
quiet days at the CIA. I met
director burns this morning at
the sprawling CIA headquarters
in Northern Virginia for a rare
interview
home game all right, should you
be went to see it? She went to
see the mountain went to
Muhammad.
She made a big mistake and there
if you listen carefully, what
was changed she says there's
going to the CIA as the head is
a change of venue.
Say again,
she said it was a change of
venue. Oh, as if he wasn't a
spook all along.
Okay, good point. I'll take it
all right, let's see what he now
you got to go. Okay, here's
number two.
Is the generation represented by
you or sorry? What was
that? Wow, I don't know. He's,
he eats master of disguise.
Bill Burns. Just about Ukraine.
We try to get a little
information on this. I think
this is a clip could easily be
skipped. But we're gonna play
all this busy.
Let's do it. No one else is
working.
Talk about Ukraine. I mean,
right now, Vladimir Putin is
talking about Ukraine, how you
guys went in there and 2014 and
screwed the whole country over,
that'd be great.
Giving every indication he's not
backing down. He's going to
stick with this war of attrition
as long as he possibly can, that
nothing will deter him. Is he
right? No, I think he's wrong. I
think I'm sorry.
What is this clanging?
I hear in the background is a
bunch of noise in the
background. What is going on
with that? And it's constant
throughout the entire interview?
Are they sharpening their
knives? Or is it the clinking
idea and
they don't show it they just say
it looks like they're in a
secluded room. But no, Skiff
with the champagne glasses, he's
wrong in that bed just as he was
wrong profoundly wrong in the
bed that he made on February 24,
when he launched this war.
Tactically, I think what we see
at least at CIA is a reduced
tempo and fighting between the
two militaries as winner sets
in. The Russian military has
badly battered right now the
Ukrainian military is determined
to keep up the pressure, build
on their battlefield successes
that the last several months,
but they also need time to refit
and resupply. But there's
nothing at all reduced about the
tempo of Putin's increasingly
brutal attacks against Ukrainian
civilians, and Ukrainian
civilian infrastructure.
But the cost to the United
States weaponry ammunition,
Europeans and what they're
sacrificing for this war to go
on. You're not concerned that he
could outlast all that.
I don't underestimate for a
moment. The burdens the
challenges that this war poses
for Ukrainians first and
foremost, but for all of us who
support Ukraine, but
strategically, I think, in many
ways, you know, Putin's war has
has less far been a failure for
Russia, the Russian military has
performed poorly and suffer huge
losses. The Russian economy has
suffered long term damage. Most
of the progress that the Russian
middle class has made over the
last 30 years is being
destroyed. I think Russia's
reputation has been badly
undermined and its weaknesses
have been exposed. The Russian
population seems increasingly
uneasy about the costs of war as
well the fact that Putin when he
launched at the end of September
a partial mobilization, the
reality was that more Russians
that military age fled the
country that he was able to
round up and send to the friends
so he's got a lot of challenges
as well.
So this is this is the new the
new new meme is a Daily Beast
wrote this, Russia can finally
see that Putin's days are
numbered. This is this is what
they're trying now, all people
at home don't like him. They
don't like him.
Well, we can see where the Daily
Beast is getting their talking
points.
What is in the dailies in The
Daily Beast. Isn't that
Shapiro's outfit? No, no, no,
that's Daily Caller. No, that's
no Daily Caller is Tucker
Carlson's outfit.
That's the daily wire.
The daily wire is okay. Daily
Beast is tard. Got it? You write
daily wire?
Daily really be sorry, Daily
Beast is a left wing operation.
Right. Well, they got CIA then.
Bingo. Yeah. So
the CIA's given them the talking
points, and they were producing
nice copy.
A lot of copy actually end game.
It has a little like red stamp
and game.
Read. And I have an idea. Okay.
That part's free.
Do you see any real threat to
his position?
Well, I think there's an unease
across the Russian population.
Right now. There's an unease
from some more hawkish critics
who are, you know, who see the
conduct of the war as being
flawed? And then you have the
unease I mentioned before, you
know, lots of Russians and
military age young Russian men
fleeing the country as well. So
I'm not trying to suggest that
that poses an immediate grip,
you know, threat to his grip on
power. He's created a very
secure and repressive
authoritarian regime in his
eyes.
Oh, yeah. Here's another article
I caught.
before. Before I go to that, I
want you to look at what he said
at the end there. He said, and
he's, he says that Putin thinks
that he's created a repressive
and authoritarian regime regime,
he's proud of it. That's
bullcrap. Putin doesn't think
he's created an authoritarian
repressive regime is reported it
might be authoritarian and
repressive. But that's not Putin
is thinking no think
well, but perhaps the director
of CIA is familiar with who
thinking, you know, these guys
are good.
These guys are good. Yeah,
they're great. They mind
readers.
There's, there's this other kind
of sub thread this running that
really this all of this started
with Putin homophobia. That's,
that's really where it all
started. Putin regards
homophobia as a means of
rallying a credulous population
during a failing war. It's the
best evidence scene of his
imitation of the tyrannies of
the 20th century because as you
know, both the Nazis and the
communists killed the gays
according to yet another band
journo okay.
I got nothing else on that.
Little bit on China now. Oh,
yeah. Oh, God.
They covered all the bases.
Everything out in the last weeks
is the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Mark Milley, General
Milley is speaking about winter
may be a time for negotiations
between us. We can't have that.
How do you see that most
conflicts and negotiations. But
that requires a seriousness on
the part of the Russians in this
instance, that I don't think we
see at least it's not our
assessment that the Russians are
serious at this point about a
real negotiation.
I want to bring China into the
conversation. What's your level
of concern right now about
cooperation between the Russians
and the Chinese.
When Xi Jinping and Vladimir
Putin have formed a pretty close
partnership over recent years,
you know, a few weeks before
Putin launched his invasion in
Ukraine, when they met at the
Winter Olympics in Beijing. They
proclaimed a friendship without
limits. What turns out that
there actually are some limits
to that partnership, at least in
terms of President Xi's
reluctance to supply the kind of
military assistance to Putin
that he's asked for in the
course of the war in Ukraine. So
I wouldn't underestimate for a
moment their commitment between
the Chinese and Russian
leadership's to that
partnership. But it's been
interesting to watch the Chinese
leadership's reaction to the war
in Ukraine, I don't think any
foreign leader has paid more
careful attention to that war,
and Russia's poor military
performance than Xi Jinping has,
as he thinks about his own
ambitions in Taiwan and
elsewhere.
This guy sounds like he's got it
all under control, doesn't he?
But as his style Cha, maybe he
does, maybe he's running the
show wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, maybe? Yeah. Well, he's
got the background to actually
do work. I wanted to play these
clips on the show, because it's
a good background or to
everything we do.
In fact, I have a couple of
clips to play into it once we're
done with the series.
And so let's go listen to what
it now this is the first clip
where it you have the rest of
these, you know, he's got some
misstatements I think about
Putin about Putin thinks he
doesn't know. But this is the
first clip on Taiwan that he
actually does. There's a factoid
in here, he actually let one go,
he let one out to the public, he
released a fact
here it is believe there are
near term ambitions on his part,
to take over Taiwan. And I mean,
in this next year or so,
yeah, I'm not sure I would
measure it in terms of months or
a year. But I would not
underestimate for a moment or
nor do any of my colleagues here
at CIA underestimate his
ambition to control Taiwan. In
other words, to unify Beijing
and Taiwan on The PRCs terms.
He's insisted publicly that his
preference is to do that by me
and short of the use of force,
but we know that he's also
instructed his military
leadership to be ready by 2027
to launch a war. And so I think
the honest answer is the further
you get into this decade, the
greater the risks of a military
conflict.
2027 Have you heard this? No,
it's a weird number. I haven't
heard of 2027 about anything.
2030 2050 by 2020 So
those are all Yeah, but it's all
United Nations World Order
stuff. The others numbers. This
is a number that they that they
got from China from there, who
if they even have any spies left
there, I guess.
Not even a lucky number.
Wouldn't it be 28 I mean, it's
911 it is 11 I don't know that
doesn't seem like
there's nothing there's just a
number. And, but if he is solid
with it, it says
the CIA chief familiar with Zhi
Jing, pings calendar predicts
that 2027 Hmm. Okay, well, we
got a while to go then. Yeah.
Oh, this
be a long time ago. So here we
go with it. Now he's going to
discuss tick tock.
One other question about China
is there Very popular social
media platform app, Tik Tok,
your domestic counterpart, the
head of the FBI, Chris Rea, has
said it's a threat to US
national security. Do you agree?
I do. I mean, I think it's a
genuine concern, I think for the
US government, in the sense that
because the parent company of
Tiktok is a Chinese company, the
Chinese government is able to,
you know, insist upon extracting
the private data of a lot of Tik
Tok users in this country, and
also to shape the content of
what goes on to tick tock as
well, to suit the interests of
the Chinese leadership. I think
those are real challenges. And a
source of real concern
is, you know, some American
lawmakers want to ban Tiktok, do
you think that's a good idea?
Well, you know, in my role See,
this is where blessedly as an
intelligence and an intelligence
roll, I mean, I'm not I'm not
gonna offer judgments on those
kinds of policy or legislative
decisions. What I would
underscore though, is that it's
genuinely troubling to see you
know, what the Chinese
government could do to
manipulate Tik Tok?
And what would you recommend
people tell their children or
their young friends that
went doors? No,
it'd be really careful.
You want to say anything more
than that?
No. really careful.
Wow. That's what was she going
for? I have no idea when you
hear that again. Let me get let
me hear that again. That was
kind of pathetic.
Was she expecting to manipulate?
I think she was expecting a
different answer. Someone at CIA
told her that I as is number
one, we're looking at where you
saved the children.
And what would you recommend
people tell their children or
their young friends about
whether us to
be really careful?
You want to say anything more
than that?
Nope. really careful,
huh? No,
you know what your your analysis
I has to be spot on. They told
her that she's got to ask this
question and to expect this
answer. And he never delivered
the answer you didn't deliver.
So she asked again, say Well,
maybe he forgot what the script
said. Let me ask it again. Hey,
Eliza Schlesinger with that
crazy.
I've been tracking Tencent who,
you know, they, they own the
bytedance. They also have a
significant stake in Elon Musk's
empire, more than likely in in
Twitter as well, certainly
Tesla. Ever since their
earnings, which was end of
November. They've gotten here,
they're up there on the NASDAQ.
They've gone from about five
bucks to eight bucks. They've
almost Well, they've they've
they've they've almost doubled,
they got pretty close that nine
there's something going on
people people in the know are
buying the stock, and it's going
up in like a parabolic almost
was this tic TOCs a hell of a
product. Yeah, they're, they're
concerned about the Chinese
gathering data. They're not
they're
concerned about the earnings
that tick tock, well, no,
no, no. Yeah. You're telling it
under, you're telling the
underlying truth? Yes, sorry.
I'm telling what they're
concerned about. And so they say
they're concerned about this,
oh, they're going to collect all
this data on what data they're
going to collect. I mean, it's
just a bunch of goofballs
usually on Tik Tok, or somebody
falling off a roof. And by law,
by the way, guys an idiot. He's
just schlemiel put him on that
list. It's Lexus.
It's LexisNexis. As we know,
Nexus, who does the vetting and
the onboarding? It's an American
company that does that. For
them. They're contracted to do
that?
Well, my point is not that my
point is, if they're so damn
concerned about all this stuff,
how come they don't mention or
even show any concern about
these genetic testing companies,
or these companies that do gene
testing to see what kind of you
look like, you're gonna get sick
when you get older, and descend,
and they're owned by Chinese
companies and that data of
American citizens genes
structures are being shipped to
China? The reason? There's no
mention of that,
because it's pharmaceutical
companies. They run the world.
Alright, on to the next topic is
Iran control is short. These are
last clips are short. On Iran.
This is an Iranian regime does
does not have good answers for
what's on the minds of a very
young population 70% of which
today is under the age of 30.
Can those protests continue
though given the number of
arrests of people who are dead
and now execution?
I think they can and it's been a
remarkable in the Keesha have
both that frustration that I
mentioned before, and also the
genuine courage of people out in
the streets. And so, you know,
this has gone on for just about
three months now. And it can
continue for some time.
And now, of course, we sat
around with the Russians in
Ukraine using the drones. How
worried? Are you about that
relationship?
Well, quite worried. I mean, you
know, historically, there's a
lot of mistrust between Russians
and Iranians, but they need each
other right now. And what's
beginning to emerge is at least
the beginnings of a full fledged
Defense Partnership. Oh, nice
to know that CIA will be
continuing to, to ignite
protests in Iran, because that's
clearly how he knows that.
Oh, yeah. No, I was listening to
this one with it. I was there
running the OP. In Iran, they
would have some insight. So
okay, so it's gonna continue for
four months, at least
good to know. Good to know.
Yes. Same exact thought, who
didn't know i Here's another
situation. This is the last
clip. This is him talking about
the North Korea, and this great
series of little clips. This is
a one where a Judy I guess, made
a mistake or said something
wrong. And she I kept the pauses
and stuff in because it was a
some sort of a botch or
something. I'm not sure what
happened. She's good. You'll get
a kick out of this. And this is
him talking about the North
Koreans. Just a question
about North Korea. There was
another test today of a saw, I
guess, a solid state ng missile,
and the US has no eyes on the
ground in the country. Is that
right? No answer. If where is
that headed? Where do you see
that regime going? And do you
see any evidence that the US can
head off the worst kind of
attack that the North Koreans
may be capable of? Well, I
mean, I think what we've seen
over the last year, just as she
said, Judy is quite troubling,
more than 50 launches of North
Korean missiles of various
ranges. And clearly preparations
for what would be the seventh
nuclear test by the North Korean
regime as well.
All right, so I'm gonna say this
was also the way the briefing
went and someone was not.
Someone didn't brief burns
properly. The briefing went.
Look, we're going to say we
don't have any boots on the
ground in North Korea. So don't
even ask about it. So what she
does is she says we don't have
anybody a boots on the ground.
Thank you. She's gonna get a
quick. That's right. But
instead, the guy was not
briefed. Anyone? I think that's
what happened. He was listening.
So I guess a solid state engine.
And the US has no eyes on the
ground in the country. Is that
right? No answer.
Wow.
Yeah, that was a fuckup.
I think it's the same. I think
it's the same briefing, someone,
something got briefed poorly on
one or the other or both sides.
That was a complete botch that
lasts. Why did they leave that
in? I know why. It's the it's
the holiday crew.
Exactly.
Now, did you at any point, have
anything to say about the still
not fully released JFK
documents?
I don't remember that. Now. I
don't think so. The public they
should do because that's, that's
that is a That's it. That's a
crime against
crime. It's a crime. Here's a
quick story.
Because it was it was give
everyone a background on this.
There was legislation. I think
it was in the 90s. That during
you had sorry, I think it was
during Clinton, wasn't it? Yeah,
I think it was during Clinton,
who said you have to release all
the JFK doctors, all of them.
Every single document. It's 75
years after the death. I think
that was basically the the law
and it was put in law. And then
it was so that minute during the
Trump administration, it was
supposed to be released. But
now, the CIA's pushed back on
Trump's that, don't do it. Don't
do it. Don't do it. And so they
didn't do it and Trump has
pushed it out, kick the can down
the road from your well, it's
gonna get released. So what, by
the way, which I think is
another flaw on Trump. He should
have just released it. But as
per law, they're going to
impeach him to impeach him for
that. That would be easier be
because it's a violation. So now
we have to come up again with
Biden and by the same thing, no,
no, I'm not going to do it.
Is that exactly I think he said
I believe it should all be
released. But
yeah, well, somebody's not gonna
do it. Yeah. Well, here's
the public is getting its first
look at newly released documents
about JFK assassination. 13,000
records have now been made
public by the Biden
administration, including
information about Lee Harvey
Oswald and his time in Mexico.
The National Archives says only
3% of its documents related to
the assassination are still
redacted due to national
intelligence concerns. Yeah,
there it is. Intelligence
concerns like you might find out
that we're a bunch of creeps.
Yes. Okay. So just responding to
a couple of these these
different things differently.
You
know, you've got to take the CIA
side on this day would make the
argument of course Ron Paul's
the one who said and we have the
clip somewhere you probably find
it. Ron Paul said that the CIA
took over the country. And we
just have you know, assumed as
possible. It bloodless coup. It
with the assassination of
Kennedy. Right. At some point
they decided well, Kennedy's
gotta go because he was he was
problematic. And I use the word
advisedly, you did is a
problematic President cuz he was
probably mobbed up like the
entire Kennedy family. And it
was like you having the mafia
running the country? It wasn't a
good, good idea. So sure, let
me see if this is it.
Why did you reject the Secret
Service protection? Seems like
that would be well, it's a form
of welfare.
No, that's not it. It wasn't
called. It wasn't called Ron
Paul, CIA. You know, the can't
find it. We do have the, I'm
sure we do somewhere.
But Ron Paul made the assertion
first. And it was dated at the
Kennedy assassination. And
anyone who knew anybody who,
whose family or friends was in
the CIA during that era,
including a woodworker that
worked here at this house. He
told me and his dad was a field
guy. And he says in Hong Kong,
or in I think it was Hong Kong.
He says he was called back to
the states on an emergency basis
the day before the
assassination. And he thought it
was kind of fishy.
My favorite is if you ask anyone
who was around and alive during
the 63 assassination of Kennedy,
where they were, it's very
similar to ourselves and me,
certainly. With 911. I remember
exactly where I was, you
remember where you were? You
were old enough to remember
where you were on. When Kennedy
was assassinated? What you were
doing? You remember that?
Literally, do you want to share?
I was in school? Uh huh. And it
was announced over the PA
system.
So for those who don't know,
there was only one person who
cannot remember where he was on
that fateful day. Good story,
and that is George Bush Senior.
Yeah, George HW. No, not HW. Ah,
no, it's HW. No, it's
George. Oh, you're right.
Herbert herbert walker. Yeah. Is
he I thought. Anyway, the old
guy the dead one.
Yeah, the one who ran the CIA.
Yeah.
He didn't know where he was. I
can't remember. I just can't
remember where I was.
And he was in Texas. I think
they have photos of him there. I
guess he was. I don't think they
have photos but they have
frozen in Dallas.
I think there's flight records
or some there's something that I
remember from many, many years
of
writing, you know, you have to
say, you know, doing the country
of favorite the way you saw it.
jump out of airplanes, save the
world. That's what it was back
in the day. All right. Let me
move on to some of the other
things the CIA director
discussed there. You know,
these, these collaborations
between Russia and China, Russia
and Iran. There was a big EU.
Storm Trooper, Star Fleet
command meeting. Everyone
getting together, talking about
what are we going to do Russia
has a real problem. And are we
still gonna be able to stand up
to Russia as a bloc? And I just
got this off of where'd this
come from? I think this is from
this may be from your own news.
They they interviewed one of our
buddies Gifford hofstadt. If you
remember he used to be the the
for a while there. He was the
Prime Minister of Belgium but of
course we remember him. As a
member of European Parliament
during Brexit he had a big mouth
and he likes to race old
fashioned cars, and he tells it
like it is
but for all that has been
achieved in the way of support
for Ukraine. The crisis has
exposed some deep cracks in the
EU system. Many in Europe are
concerned about the loss of
title in a changing world,
what we need is a will of the 27
member states to build a real
European Union that can be
effective and resilient in the
world of tomorrow. Because the
world of tomorrow, let's be very
clear about that. It's not a
world of member states or
nations, it will be a wealth of
blocks of empires.
A stronger European Union means
acting as a collective. But
member states have to be
prepared to cede more
sovereignty to Brussels to be
able to do that. But faced with
an energy crisis triggered by
the war in Ukraine, EU member
states have increasingly gone
the other way, pursuing their
national interests as they seek
to shield their own economies
and populations from the wars
consequences.
So we're gonna have blocks,
blocks, which also means we'll
have different reserve
currencies.
What they explain this to me
What is What did they say
they're gonna have blocks, like
countries, you know, like
sovereign nations.
Yeah, that we have blocks. So
you have the European Union
block. That's a block the United
States and I guess, eventually
they want to make it United
States, Canada and Mexico, that
will be a block. Yeah. And then
it'll be China, Russia, probably
Iran will be a block. You know,
what about South America that
these guys left with the short
sheet they just won the World
Cup now
they just who's gonna want
someone else to go down there
and invade them and bring them
into their block. Let's bring
them into their block. Now there
is a block forming against
China. And I'm pretty sure that
this is built on our military
industrial complex and our money
printing. As Japan gets ready.
Japan unveiled plans for its
biggest military buildup since
World War Two. The government
says it will double defense
spending bring it up to the NATO
standard of 2% of GDP. Japan's
move away from a self defense
only stance comes as it seeks to
counter regional threats. It
plans to acquire long range
missiles capable of striking
China. Beijing said the plans
undermined bilateral relations,
and I'm very pleased to be
joined now by Tomohiko Taniguchi
is a professor at Keio
University Graduate School and
formerly a special adviser to
Japan's late Prime Minister
Shinzo are they? And I
just want to say this is
Deutsche Bella, who are bringing
a lot of interesting reports
like this,
Professor Taniguchi Could you
give us an idea of how
significant this announcement we
just heard about is good, just
not only significant, but long
overdue, because the street
address and ZIP code that you
find around Japan requires much
much more insurance premium.
Japan is an immediate neighbor
to Russia, North Korea and
China.
Doesn't this guy sound like
George Takei? Like all of a
sudden he's gonna go hey, now,
just
k never went?
Oh, my No, he says
that's not something that you
could envy. And Russia is 1/3 of
Japan in terms of in terms of
economy, but China is growing
still fast. And it's already
four or five times as large as
Japan's economy. And China is 10
times as big as Russia as regard
GDP, none of which has ever
exercised the democracy and
investing in all of all of which
are investing very much heavily
in nuclear arsenal. So it's
significant, but belated action.
And all that all I see flying is
Osprey is I see Patriot
missiles.
There's an Osprey in the Bay
Area that flies over the house
every one did during the show
once I remember
they got they they've they've
killed the Osprey program. They
have new new
sensors will kill anything which
is like an Osprey rotor it's a
die slightly different looking
wing and but the Osprey when it
comes in it flew by the other
day to death thing is just a
noisy is right thing I've ever
heard in my life. Whap Whap Whap
it's just shakes the house is
worse than the earthquake. So by
the way, that report is not
unknown to the United States. We
do have a PBS version. Uh huh.
Okay,
hold on a second. Short and
sweet. This is the clip is
called Japan China is called
China update. No, it's called
Japan rearming?
Yes, yes, I've got it here.
Japan is making a major break
from its self defense only
security strategy. The new
policy calls for acquiring first
strike capability and cruise
missiles. Prime Minister Fumio
Kishida said today that Japan's
existing military cannot handle
growing rats from China and
North Korea today can the
current capability of the Self
Defense Forces deter a threat to
our country? When a threat
becomes real can they protect
our country? We carried out a
realistic simulation to say that
frankly the current situation is
insufficient
Beijing charge that the Japanese
move amounts to quote hyping up
the so called China threat
so hiding up
it's kind of overlooked in the
thing even though the Japanese
make good product we're the ones
that make them armaments jobs
money in the bank for us, but
isn't a money market, unexplored
exploited market?
But wait a minute, haven't we?
We as the Federal Reserve,
haven't we propped up Japan with
all this money, the Bank of
Japan, I think there was like
100, hundreds of billions of
swap. We
won it back. We want it back.
That's what it is. I agree. Just
saying It's our money, too. So
we're giving them that we
printed up the money. And now
we're gonna sell them this
stuff. Which by the way, is all
the new stuff that we built with
the Ukraine money?
Yeah. We got rid of inventory.
We're building back up. We had a
build better than better yet.
We got it. It's an Mi c term
build back better bombs.
Yes. All right.
Let's go back to Deutsche
Avella. As China is still in a
little bit of trouble. Beijing
specifically, as you know, they
had to, they had to release some
of the pressure as people were
getting really angry about being
locked up like dogs being welded
in their homes to die. In fact,
they remember when they were
killing the dogs and cats,
clubbing him and throwing in
bags on the street, only to show
up later in the rations. Now,
here's what's going on now.
COVID-19 cases are surging
across China as people take
advantage of new freedoms.
Nationwide frustration and
unprecedented public protests
forced authorities to ease
quarantine and travel
restrictions. But since then,
more and more people are testing
positive. official figures on
infections and fatalities remain
low. But some estimates put the
likely death toll at more than 1
million by the end of next year.
People in Beijing lineup to get
nasal spray boosters, cases are
surging
if you're gonna see MD gotta see
these nasal spray boosters. This
report has video. So you it's on
the street, the patient puts
tilts their head back and they
insert this syringe with like a
little obviously not with a
needle on the end but a a spout
and as a stopper that kind of
goes in your nostril and they
shoot this whole thing him like
right into the back of your
brain is like oh and you can see
the people wincing when this
happens.
Bad Beijing line up. Probably
killing
them here with what's wrong with
an inhaler. You gotta slow spray
like we have, you know in this
country, and yet, you breathe it
in
No, no there's fish, like like a
navy forcing
it down your throat with like a
neti pot.
Get nasal spray boosters, cases
are surging after the government
abruptly ended its strict zero
COVID policy in the wake of
nationwide protests against the
restrictions. Authorities are
trying to persuade reluctant
seniors and others at risk to
get vaccinated to prevent large
scale outbreaks,
hospitalizations, and deaths.
Those already showing symptoms
make their way to temporary
clinics set up around the city
like this public gymnasium where
they can get medical advice and
treatment. Others are opting to
stay home either because they're
already sick or trying to avoid
infection. That means deliveries
of food and everyday items are
in heavy demand. But scores of
workers are also coming down
with the virus. So packages pile
up on the streets unclaimed in
China's financial hubs. Shanghai
schools have switched to online
classes as cases soar nurseries
and childcare centers are also
set to close. Across the
country. People were quick to
return to old habits when the
restrictions were eased crowding
shopping malls and subway
stations, restaurants.
This is Giorgio Vela again, and
I am of the belief that they are
only reporting this in this
particular fashion because you
didn't see any video of what you
described except for the nasal
the nasal spray. I think they're
gearing everybody up to get all
freaked out and scared. Because
all it's happening. Oh boy, you
think they're gearing up for the
Europeans to have to go do
another long? Yeah,
I do. And here's part two.
The Chinese capital Beijing is
seeing a sharp increase in COVID
19 cases and high numbers of
workers testing positive for or
the virus means that the city's
funeral homes are overwhelmed.
Undertaker's say they're short
on drivers and workers, so
families have to wait longer to
cremate their relatives, local
media and reported more
Coronavirus, LinkedIn deaths,
even though official tallies do
not include the latest victims.
China have relaxed some of the
world's toughest measures to
control the spread of the virus
just over a week ago.
So we're all gonna die.
Well, they are all gonna die.
That's not we don't have that
angle here. I got a PBS version,
I think is about the same thing
as the China update, which you
cited earlier. And I think this
is all they have to say
China's leaders pledged today to
boost the country's economy
after pandemic losses that
followed a two day conference,
the Chinese government has ended
strict lockdowns that weakened
economic growth, but there are
growing fears of an explosion of
CO gossip.
It's coming, it's coming and
everyone's gonna forget. They're
all there already. Masking is
already happy here. ABC. Yeah,
here we go.
Good morning hospitals around
the country treating an inrush
of patients battling a perfect
storm and
in rush this is a new term, like
in rush. So not like hospitals
are overwhelmed or filled full
filled to the brim now it's an
inrush we're rushing in it's an
inrush
this morning hospitals around
the country treating an inrush
of patients battling a perfect
storm of viruses. Why do these
patients are very sick in
preparation of this winter, sir.
Did you hear that insert? It was
beautiful.
Classic like
a lot of these patients very
sick rush of patients battling a
perfect storm of viruses. Why do
these patients are very sick in
preparation of this winter
surge. The Biden administration
is once again offering
households free COVID-19
testing.
John There you go free. It's
free. But to go get him go.
I already already put it is
called COVID test.gov. I already
ordered for the family get
more. It's more free free
COVID-19
testing at COVID test.gov.
They promoted it for you. Oh,
John, you should just try to get
more. Just try to get more. I
think you should do you like
getting free stuff from your
government? Hey,
I already paid for
it. I want it be COVID-19
testing kits at COVID test.gov.
We saw at some resources left
Whitehouse health officials
urging people to test themselves
if they have symptoms and before
timely this holiday shopping.
Who is this? What who's
reporting here? I can tell you
actually CBS has got to be
CBS ABC and the ABC reporter is
I don't care about it's just the
way that ensued. It's the person
who did the editing with all
these drop ins. Yeah. You know,
it's me that resources left you
know, they just go right they
just plow through this report.
It's really funny the way they
put it together.
This is M Nuun so I think she's
a B stringer backbencher.
Oh, tell you we're on vacation.
Okay, so the guy who's editing
the package is like, I'm really
gonna show everybody how to get
done. Watch me put these little
drops in there. Watch me do this
little stuff, man. It's gonna be
great. Yes,
like
the people who come in.
They're gonna, the brass is
gonna notice me now
themselves if they have symptoms
and before visiting with family
this holiday season. The
President's plan comes as the
country faces a rise in
respiratory viruses COVID-19,
RSV, and the flu
flu is rising in many parts of
country. We're probably the
worst flu outbreak we've seen in
a decade.
One boy in San Diego county so
sick with two strains of the flu
he was put on a ventilator and
two weeks later still in the
ICU, his father urging others to
get vaccinated.
It was so bad that I was scared
that he wasn't going to make it.
Now the World Health
Organization is also tracking a
potential uptick in invasive
group A strep infections,
invasive group A strep
infection. Doctor Devorah Can
you elaborate Oh, I
don't have a clue. But I'll say
this. The way this package is
the way this this whole
presentation has been edited and
done. The guy should get put
into the A team. He's good.
There's a lot of value add.
Patient,
this report is compared to what
we've been playing so far. It's
the best. It's moves,
it moves, he moves. He's moving
me.
I was scared that he wasn't
gonna make it.
Now the World Health
Organization is also tracking up
one more time. The one thing I
have to say is every one of his
clips has this in the
background. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I know what does he get
those noisy clips he's got to do
some some some you gotta fix net
to noise gating some filtering
brah sucked in that Adobe
filter, what is that thing
called that Adobe filter that we
that we recommended to Project
Veritas, which I think they're
using. That thing's crazy good.
Adobe's got some pretty dynamite
filled, they have a blur filter,
that's unbelievable.
If I'm talking about one that
removes the noise that that
makes that gets your noisy,
hidden microphone that in a bar,
right? You get rid of all that.
And it's not that easy to do by
hand, you can do it, but it
always has, it throws the face
off and makes a mess.
No the stuff that Adobe needed
tool, whether he should have
used this,
I was scared that he wasn't
going to make it.
Now the World Health
Organization is also tracking a
potential uptick in invasive
group A strep infections as
sometimes life threatening
illness among children
invasive group a start is a
disease or is a cluster of
diseases actually caused by the
same bacteria. And when people
sometimes talk about flesh
eating bacteria, that's usually
the bacteria that we're kind of
pointing to.
Okay, hold on a second. This
guy's give me a little bit too
much information about invasive
group A strep, which now has an
acronym, I guess, I guess, I
guess.
You know, I'm back back to the
editing of this thing. I think
she did the whole package. She
did it. She went into the
editing
package. It's her own package.
I think she put the whole thing
together because this is again,
the skeleton crew over the
Christmas holidays, they
probably can't even get an out
an editor to work because the
most people that do these news
reports can can work in the AVID
editing room to do it
themselves. If they have time.
Well, let's take a look at em un
Ngu y e n, which is I think
that's very interesting. But
first, let's take a little look
at some images Vietnamese.
Oh, well,
she's no, she's tiny.
Yeah, she wouldn't be if she's
very tough East Asian.
Do you think she's doing the
package herself?
I think she did the whole thing.
Because it flows to it's just
like it's got the same machine
gun style that she has
personally. So she would that
would be reflected in the
editing job. Oh, did check it
out from the rap headline. This
is November cites of last year,
ABC News hires anyone as multi
platform reporter. If you're a
multi platform Reporter You can
do this. I think you're right. I
think you're right. M is a
skilled reporter and
storyteller, it will be a
fantastic addition to our
talented Washington team. And
she worked at spectrum news. Oh
yeah, you have to do everything
yourself at spectrum. You have
to bring your own camera, set it
up on sticks and stand in front
of it. Pretty much Oh, okay.
Well, I'm very impressed that
you know, m m should m should be
moving up
of diseases actually will ask by
the same bacteria. And when
people sometimes talk about
flesh eating bacteria, that's
usually the bacteria that we're
kind of pointing to. It can
cause sepsis. Most of those
patients you know, their illness
is obviously worse than the
typical
strep throat. One doctor is
saying the ongoing shortage of
the antibiotic. amoxicillin
could also be exacerbating the
situation
well, there you go. I don't know
about this invasive group A
strep. That's it doesn't stretch
just bothersome.
Bless us bacteria in your
throat.
I'm just saying it's bothersome.
That stuff pops up all of a
sudden. Do we have anything? Do
you have anything on COVID? We
should probably do just get
anything anything out of the way
if you got anything left nobody
talked about diseases. Oh,
let's let's bring in random
diseases then.
I have I take down a or a quest
more of a question. Today's
question day for me of the dough
Votto commercial, which is the
age thing you take. It's one of
those multi ingredient is it
prep prep, and no, stop prepping
someone else to finish advertise
to death. And of course ask your
doctor ready even if you're not
a gay. They always have these
really gay performers. They do
this. But there's a little
gotcha in here. I want to play
the whole commercial, which is a
buck 39 which is a buck to one
minute and 29 seconds book and
listen to it and there's
something there's something
peculiar in here that just I've
been trying to catch his eye
because I've seen it a number of
times on television every time I
hear it, I go this What a play.
Let's check this. Living with
HIV. I learned I can stay
undetectable with fewer
medicines. That's why I switched
to de vida. Vida was for some
adults who are starting to HIV
one treatment or replacing The
current HIV one regimen detect
this. No other complete HIV pill
uses fewer medicines to help
keep you undetectable than
Vivado. detect this. Most HIV
pills contain three or four
medicines to follow is as
effective with just two.
Research shows people who take
HIV treatment as prescribed and
get to and stay undetectable can
no longer transmit HIV through
sex. Don't take the bottle if
you're allergic to its
ingredients. Or if you take to
Adelaide, taking the bottle with
to Petalite can cause serious or
life threatening side effects.
Hepatitis B can become harder to
treat while on tobacco. Don't
Stop the battle without talking
to your doctor as your Hepatitis
B may worsen or become life
threatening. Serious or life
threatening side effects can
occur including allergic
reactions, lactic acid buildup
and liver problems. If you have
a rash or other allergic
reaction symptoms stopped avato
and get medical help right away.
Tell your doctor if you have
kidney or liver problems or if
you are maybe are planned to be
pregnant to vital may harm your
unborn baby. Use effective birth
control while on the battle. Do
not breastfeed while taking
Vivado most common side effects
are headache, nausea, diarrhea,
trouble sleeping, tiredness and
anxiety attack this I stand
detectable with fewer medicines.
Ask your doctor about switching
to the battle.
All right, what? Well, first of
all, as you detect this game
detect this is the idea is to
make you undetectable if you get
if you have Asia v
this is what the prep does. The
prep does all
while they make this comment in
there you can't transmit even
though you're undetectable. Even
though you have HIV, you're
undetectable which is cool. And
and you can't transmit HIV per
se. And they say this in every
one of these ads for say
interesting. Here's the sub
clip. You can hear it here.
Oh second sub clip Yes. Thank
you make
a tip treatment as prescribed
and get to and stay undetectable
can no longer transmit HIV
through sex.
No through sex. No, I said per
se no through sex. Sorry, maybe
I misunderstood. I heard you
cannot transmit well,
okay, you know if they say
through sex. That's interesting,
because the AD This is the one
commercial where it was unclear.
The other one I'm telling you,
she says per se it was very
clear. I think
she says per sex. I think you're
incorrect. Play it again. The
sub clip. Yeah,
take HIV treatment as prescribed
and get to and stay undetectable
can no longer transmit HIV
through sex
through so she's saying through
sex. She clearly saying,
Okay, I heard through sex that
time. Of course. Now I gotta go
back to find the original
commercial or I thought she said
per se. Well, now I'm Roseanne
Roseanna. Danna, I fall right in
that same category. Me and Jeff
Jarvis. Oh, no.
That's an opening right there.
Me and Jeff Jarvis. That's just
an opening anytime we can do
that. Okay, well, let me switch
it up for a second here. And
speaking of little things, you
might hear someone say, there
was this little, little little
itty bitty tidbit that was
picked up, which I didn't pick
up but someone pointed me to
this, Kevin O'Leary, you know
who that is Kevin O'Leary. He's
the guy
who was one of the guys to sit
stare at the shark on
Shark Tank. Yeah. So high, you
know, yeah, you
got a good idea, but I don't
like I missed a wonderful,
that's who he is. So Kevin
O'Leary is he I guess he had a
PR deal with FTX. I don't think
he invested any money. But he,
he had some kind of deal to
promote FTX and I believe that
number was $12 million. And so
he feels very comfortable going
around because he wasn't an
idiot that really lost money in
the investment, but maybe he did
is unclear. But he's the only
person who's going around and
talking on CNBC. Now, what
you'll hear in this 41 second
clip, there's one little thing
here that coincides so weirdly,
with a very newsworthy event,
let me see if you can catch the
odd name that is mentioned in
this quick clip.
I obviously know all the
institutional investors in this
deal. We all look like idiots.
Let's put that on the table.
Okay. We relied on each other's
due diligence, but we also
relied on another investment
theme that I felt drove a lot of
interest in FTX sandbagging,
fried is an American. His
parents are American compliance
lawyers. There were no other
American large exchanges to
invest in if you wanted to enter
invest in crypto as an
infrastructure play. So many of
us said, Wait a second,
who's coming to this deal? We
knew, for example, sounds like
this was a group thing.
Did you know there was no CFO to
hear it? I eager. Yes. And FTX
blew up the same weekend. Iger
was brought back as CEO of
Disney. of Disney. Yeah.
Yeah, he mentioned I agree he
was stepped on. Yeah.
And that never came back. The
Iger never came back in in that
interview. Now, it was well
known that
I raised me I will like know
what's going on there was Iger.
Well, I
don't expect CNBC crew to
actually ask any questions by
the
way the way he the way he was
talking, right? It sounds like a
guy who put money in and day and
all we all had to do diligence
these guys were compliance
lawyers and all these everybody
we needed some in the United
States. We needed a play. That
was a you know, an
infrastructure play. And this
was the one it was the USA.
Yeah, it sounds like he put
money in. So
one of one of my friends who was
top a top person and Disney
didn't know about this change
until Saturday that weekend
either. This was a very very
abrupt change to bring Iger back
to it to CEO of Disney.
Oh, wait, wait, let me guess.
You're thinking that I grew last
his ass maybe and had to go back
to work.
That was that's the logical
thing to me. Or like, Oh, this
is so embarrassing. We can't
have Bob wrapped up in this. Or
Holy crap. Disney's got a hole
in it. Let's cover it up with
some FTO oops. I don't know. I
mean, it could be anything. But
the fact that he was mentioned
as Iger was coming to this deal,
put deal. The investment deal
was a big buyout deal, but he
talks about a deal Uygurs coming
to this deal. So this was a
consortium of investors it's
very poor CNBC, a very poor
interviewing skills and that's
your Ross, Andrew Ross, scrotum,
whatever his name is. That guy's
pathetic.
But I agree their interviewers
are not good. But what I mean
they lost their best interviews
it was the honey money and then
what's Money Money?
Money, money. Money, honey. And
the other one I like honey money
that's even better. What other
one and what other ones did they
lose?
The one that's the Council on
Foreign Relations. Young younger
ones. She's the one I worked
with when I was just doing spots
for CNBC. Trump hater and she's
like, Oh,
that. That's everybody. Trump.
Hey, where is she now then? CNN,
you mean Erin? Yeah. Erin
Burnett,
Erin Burnett. She was a good
interviewer. You know, and
what happened to her because
once they killed the fat guy,
her co host because they killed
him that killed that guy. T was
when he was 50. Who the guy who
died her co host on CNBC.
When she was on CNBC. She had
her own show. Oh, man, she
did the morning show. No, she
did it. She was doing an
afternoon show that I worked on.
It was like a two or something
like that.
Hold on a second. It was the co
host on CNBC this morning. Come
on what was what was that? What
was that call
to look her up and look at her
bio.
I'm looking at her bio. But it
was the it was people know I'm
not mixing people up squawk on
the street co anchor of squawk
on the street. Here we go. It
was mark something rather. Mark
Haines and Mark Mark Haines. Oh,
I
don't even know who that is
the fat guy who was her co host
that guy.
fat shaming a dead man.
I mean, look, I'm saying they
killed him and I'm just trying
to give I'm not trying to say
that he died because he was fat.
Let me see Mark Haines.
Yeah, so no, I remember him.
Yeah, Mark. Yes, Squawk
Box, and then squawk on the
street in 2011. And he keeled
over. And then she then she
became bad. She just she was no
good. She can't carry the show
herself is my feeling. And if
you watch her whenever she asks
a question, Tina mentioned this
to me. She talks her head like a
cocker spaniel. Yes, she does
and it gets really irritating.
Like she's looking for some
sound. Dog Whistle Okay, anyway,
those two are out and they're
suit and then they had the other
girl that looked like Goldie
Hawn and she quit when some they
lost a lot of people because
they didn't mean they never paid
well. And once Fox moved in on
the territory into Fox Business,
even though Fox Business stinks,
that's where the honeymoon
Anyway, but it took a bunch of
people with it, because they pay
more.
Yeah, of course. Now she's no
good. No good. Oh, man. Okay,
where
are we?
I don't know, media
deconstruction
of the highest order. Yeah, I
think so that guy.
And with that, I'd like to thank
you for your courage and say in
the morning to you the man who
put the sea in the cocker
spaniel Coxhead. Ladies and
gentlemen, Mr. John Bora.
In the morning to you Mr. Adam.
qriocity morning all ships
seamlessly Rafi in the air subs
in the water. It all it aims A
Night's out there.
Yes, in the morning. To all the
trolls and the troll room. It's
not going to be very long
donation segment. I'll let y'all
know those who think that they
need to skip it. Skip it as very
poor form ICU skipping and
coming back. I see it. I see it
all the time. You see it. This
is where the real time this is
where the content is where the
content lives people. But I'd
like to say in the morning to
the trolls who are once again in
the troll room at troll room.io
They're here all the time when
we do our Christmas episode. You
know, a January 1 We're also
doing Oh man, it's gonna be
great. We have a New Year's Eve
listening New Year's Eve dinner
at the former New York Bankers
House. Oh, where's his house in
Austin, but it's gonna be with
like 10 people. So we will have
some good stories from the hoi
polloi. The hoity toity. Come
on. It's gonna be great. It
sounds like a winner. Yeah,
yeah, it's gonna be good. Hey,
anyway, big, big mad problem
yesterday. Somehow I was able to
docs, our class our cloud of
servers, and they wound up
talking trying to synchronize
with each other, sending out
about 13,000 confirmation emails
to a number of people. So it got
our attention. And it's possible
that the troll counting
mechanism doesn't work. But
let's give it a shot. Yes, it's
a lucky number today. 1888
to Sunday, yeah. Yeah,
I liked it. 122 No, but I liked
the 1888 people are probably
like 180 No, yeah, it's a
dynamite numbers better
than you like 2027 Give me a
break. 1888 is good is good.
Thank you, trolls. It's lucky
number it's good to have y'all
here. Of course. You can also
find these trolls over at no
agenda social.com Where whether
they're they have an account
there or they're just trolling
around with their own accounts.
Uh, turns out, we started the
mastodon five years ago. 2017 is
when we started are no. Hard to
believe. I know, I have
confirmation five years ago. I
don't want to say that we were
ahead of the times or anything,
but there you go. And we were
also one of the first to be put
on the block list as a bunch of
Nazih keh keh keh Quadroon. So
there you go. We are leaders
phone finger number one. You can
of course follow us even if
you've been put on a block list
or find yourself a better
instance. And just to follow
Adam and no agenda social.com
Jhansi Dvorak at no agenda
social.com. These are not email
addresses, if you don't know
what Mastodon is. Go over to
Mastodon go to John Mastodon,
and find out what
it is ask Mr. Mastodon.
Ask John himself. Oh, you know,
it was really lame. And I like
her, you know? Annalee Newitz
you know her reporter? Yeah, I
do actually know her. She you
like me? I used to come on
silicon and spin.
Yeah. And she used to that she
did a big article on me for Time
magazine. When podcasting was
just blowing up. And I really
liked him. We kept in touch and
she interviewed me several years
later about something else. But
she's gone kind of woke like
super woke. She's one of the
journalists that I follow on my
secret to secret account. And so
now the John Mastodon meme was
hilarious. But oh, no, we had to
turn it into Joan mastodon.
Because you know, we can't have
it can't have it be a man. And
she's pushing that is a little
disappointing. That's a shame,
Joan. Mastadon so it's like why
pretty sharp does this I think
she still is sharp, but it's
just like come on. That was an
unnecessary maybe she's just
being a satirical now. No, I
followed her account for a bit
she's she's kind of gone a
little overboard. Anyway, this
with the spike protein does do.
Really, I'm reliably informed.
Thank you very much trolls. Good
to have you here. Good to have
you on the mastodon. We
appreciate that. And thank you
for being a relay for being a
driving force and for being
there early. Knowing how it
works. We're not surprised by
anything or Are we? Of course,
we also want to thank the
artists who bring us fabulous,
fabulous. Oh, by the way, I
wanted to mention, whenever I
post the show on no agenda
social.com, I will post
something that says, no agenda
episode. It'll be 1513 today,
comment thread. You can you can
respond to that thread and it
will show up in all of the
podcasting 2.0 apps where you
can also respond. So it's like
cross app, you can be in one
app, see a comment, comment on
it, and someone else in another
app will see it as something
kind of magical that we put
together and it works on
Mastodon so you don't even have
to have the app. What you
comment there will show up in
the app. Just want to say that.
Now. Let's look at the artwork
for episode 1512. And bring it
up here we titled that one
cashes criminal boy is that ever
talked about that in a moment?
And this was brought to us by
Sir Paul couture. And I think we
we unilaterally universally
right away. We're like, this is
kind of the one that wasn't even
anything competing with it. It's
the sale. There's
a lot of cheesecake for some
reason. There was some nice
simple pieces I like that could
do it. We didn't really argue
against it. I mean, couture.
This is all licensed art. I
should mention anyone who has
some complaints about it. Yeah.
The Santa's running into the
snow with a couple of weirdos.
Um, we had picked a green one.
There's two versions of it. We
picked one with more green and I
believe
yes, we did specifically more
was more green and the stars
were lit up a little bit more in
the background. Yeah,
and they did a second one for
some I don't know why from
higher contrast maybe. But yeah,
but tour can throw this stuff
together pretty well. And it
wasn't there was a couple of
things. He also did his piece of
cheesecake that was kind of
cute. Very 50s looking one
called Miss Claus verse xx It
was weird because it was a woman
with a beard and
No, no not I'm not talking about
the one with the beard. That's
that wasn't him. That was
capitalist agenda. You're right.
You're right, which we did a
woman with a beard and a mic
first thought was where there's
the Eurovision Song Contest
wrapped up in a martini glass?
Yes.
Yes. Correct.
And
what else? What
was just like it was decorated,
but
it was you made a you made a
real pitch at a certain point
there for me see what was it?
Oh, a nick pickle. You made a
pitch for Nick pick.
Yes. Nick pickle was very funny.
I thought it was the funniest
piece. It was silly. And it had
said Nick pickle on there. And
you and who is dude did that
Nick pickle was done by Taunton?
Thompson, which would I think
would have sealed the deal for
her for the best artist of 2022?
Well, I was I wasn't taking any
of that into account.
I always say you always say you
if you're ever a judge, you take
everything evenly with Darren
O'Neill, who
I hate. That's the only that's
the only brown
if you didn't hate him he had
won again this year. So Nick
pickle I just thought was funny.
It was a pickle with a Santa
Claus outfit on and it was a
pickle. Pickle. Did I know he
that way? Adam was not going to
accept that.
No, no, that wasn't working for
me. What else? And it was
interesting because it was the
big news of the show of the show
day that we that we didn't even
talk about comics or Blogger
threw in the Trump superhero
thing there. I guess he released
NF T's that was his big super
announcement.
No, it was a good collecting
cards wasn't a card.
It's NF TS is NF T cards. Hold
on a second. Hello, everyone.
This is Donald Trump. Hopefully
your favorite president of all
time better than Lincoln. Better
than Washington. important
announcement to make. I'm doing
my first official Donald J.
Trump NFT collection right here
and right now. They're called
Trump digital trading cards.
And the down thing sold out.
Oh, I'm sure. I mean, this guy
with his Trump Steaks and the
Trump winery, which is still in
business and makes a credible
product. Well, people were he he
doesn't drink. But the thing
is, is Trump University
announced this big, big
announcement, very important
announcement and
people like the ROSAT in NFT I
mean, that is
although it hasn't stopped my
boy Paul, the septic guy. He
still wants Trump. He still
wants Trump.
I have some we have some clips
later on in this next segment. I
got Biden and I got some these
these guys on PBS talking about
Trump. But
well, thank you very much to Sir
Paul couture, not just for By
the fabulous art you made for us
and it's part of the value for
value model. I mean, and Sir
Paul has been providing
incredible value for many years
as he set up the entire no
agenda art generator.com and
maintains it and we really
really appreciate that he's
replacing another one before
that it was done by Asher and
someone else and who's I
shouldn't know his name but they
bailed their boats over
overboard. We haven't ever heard
from him since but yeah, the
early art that's over there that
we you know, gone
early. Yeah, I'm sure I'm sure
we lost something but right now
there's oh my goodness, what do
we have with close to 30,000
pieces of art, which is a quite
a nice level considering we've
had 15 113 episodes. So there's
always something to choose from.
We appreciate the work that all
of the artists do. Get yourself
an lb wallet people so we can
cut you in one. Thank you with
some with some streaming
goodies. And I see some dreidels
here Are we are we forgetting
our shapeshifting Jewish friends
for Hanukkah?
I think we forgot our Jewish
friends for Hanukkah. And you're
supposed to say it that way to
our Jewish friends. Or Jewish
friends from Hanukkah,
Hanukkah. I think we might have.
I can't believe we missed
Hanukkah. Hanukkah,
you know, we also missed the
Kwanzaa also met Well, Kwanzaa I
don't know he missed Canadian.
Thanksgiving, which was I think
then hours the goodness. Yeah,
we're for that no wonder that
donations are way down.
We need people to remind us
remind us of these important
milestones. And they, they do
seem to be a little bit down.
But let's thank our executive
and associate a little bit.

out there as a as any point of
interest. We're very we're a
miss We apologize to our Jewish
friends.

think you can always say our
Jewish brothers and sisters. I
think that's a little more
insincere. That even works
better.

our formula is this. We go out
we get people in the mouth I
want to get to a couple of Biden
clips because he's been able to
speak Oh, has he ever speak a
little too much as a matter of
fact, in fact, I've got I've got
important clips that are
informational, then I've got a
bunch of him babbling away.
Okay. But let's start with let's
start with the babbling away
from his African rundown where
he did this, this event. And
these two are I'm not gonna give
it away. But there's maybe
there's a little production
involved here. So he let him
play all the way. Yes.
Which one? Do you want the
internet or the rundowns?
I want to run down. Let's go
this is Biden. This is just
clip. Just chop chop, chop Biden
up and here's what you get.
Hello, hello. Hello.
Good to see you all. Please have
a seat. And I know you're saying
to yourself, make it short.
Biden. There's a there's a semi
final game coming up. I see
Secretary Kerry over there
nodding Hey, John. How are you
pal? I want to thank Secretary
Mundo. She is one of the
brightest minds. Yes, folks, I
have worker with me and for all
of you in this room for making

whole world succeeds as well.

They're throwing a lot of money
at Africa. It's just obviously
the back to Chinese office not
going to work. But let's do the
second one, which is maybe
funnier in its entirety,
investing in Africa's people. As
I said at the top of this forum,
Cisco Systems and cyber cyber

the $800 million in new
contracts to protect African
countries from cyber including
providing mobile payment

Forum has spurred more than $15
billion in new deals, which will
turn lift up and improve the
lives of people all across the
continent. And this is just the
beginning patient today. Thank
you all may God protect our
troops. Thank you very, very
much. Thanks. Okay,
so that's Biden's run down to
zero.
Do you mind if I just interject
with a little little clip here
for a second before you go to
the next one? Because I really
liked how and you're absolutely
right. I mean, all of a sudden
we have this USA for Africa with
its back. And and it's Africa,
because Africa is a continent.
It's not a country. And so
there's you know, I think
there's a lot of countries in
Africa probably wondering, well,
who's going to get the money?
Where's it really going? But the
way Deutsche Avella position
this, and again, it's only about
Africa, Africa, not the
individual countries, which is I
think anyone in any African
country is like, Well, these
guys are a holes. Listen to how
they presented this new push
towards Africa.
I stand before you as the
president, United States than a
proud American. I also stand
before you as the son of a man
from Africa.
I thought it was from Indonesia,
but okay.
The blood of Africa runs through
our family. And so for us, the
bonds between our countries or
continents are deeply first.
That was a former US President
Barack Obama at the 2014 US
Africa summit that that was fair
to say that America's relations
with the continent have been
warmer, but offensive remarks
about African countries made by
the former leader Donald Trump
took them to a new low.
Do you remember what the
offensive comments were by
former President Donald Trump
who took the relations with
America and Africa to a new low?
Well, they assumed when they
were talking about shithole
countries, that it was about
them exactly.
Nations with the continents have
been warmer, but offensive
remarks about African countries
made by the former leader Donald
Trump took them to a new low.
Now US President Joe Biden has
told African leaders that his
country is committed to Africa's
future, the US is looking to
position itself as a reliable
trade partner, including calling
for the African Union to become
a permanent member of the G 20.
shared success and opportunity.
Because when Africa succeeds,
the United States succeeds quite
frankly, the whole world
succeeds as well.
Yeah, there's another block for
you the African block
bull crap all right. So let's
let's listen to this before,
before I played it to actually
serious clips. This is Biden.
Really out of it. He can barely
speak. He's talking to some
veterans in Delaware, about you
know, their service and he's
like, half asleep half in the
bag. This is horrible. But then
he but when he's like this, this
is when he comes up with made up
stories. This is the Biden bogus
story and it's a generation
represented by you ray that
doesn't look for accolades. You
know, I my dad when I got
elected vice president, he said
Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the
Battle of the Bulge. She's not
faring very well now, not
because the battle the bolts,
but he said, and he won the
Purple Heart, and he never
received it. He never ever got
it. You think he could help and
get it will surprise him. So I
got to the Purple Heart. He had
won the battle of Bose and I
remember he came over the house
and I came out and he said
presented to him okay with the
family there. I said Uncle
Frank, you won this and I want
to finish it. I don't want the
damn thing. I'm serious. He
said, I don't want it. I said,
Listen, man, Uncle Frankie
earned it. He said, Yeah, but
the others died. The others
died. I moved. I don't want it.
Yes, this is a bogus story for
many reasons.
Yeah. Well, there's two reasons.
Mainly. When was Biden first
vice president? What? 2006? No.
2008 2008 He's Vice President
2008. His dad died in 2002. I
know. On September so How's his
dad telling him this when he's
vice president?
Joey from the grave. It's your
daddy. And so
and then Uncle Joe or does other
Uncle Fred whatever his name is?
He actually died in 99.
That's my bet. That's the punch
line. Right? Yeah, maybe made.
And did he ever receive said
Purple Heart? Or was
that a bad? Oh, no. I made it
dug a hole throw in his grave? i
It's this kind of making stories
up which has been a earmark of
the of Trump. Of Biden more than
anybody. Yeah. Forever talking
about, you know, getting just as
bad as Hillary getting shot at
like she wants claimed. Under No
buddy
in Costco,
I look at all these fact
checking site. I don't see
anything calling him out for any
of this stuff.
Well, no, he's just sad. We're
not going to do that. Oh, we're
just busy yelling at Elon Musk
for deplatforming us for
suspending our accounts. This is
this is the outrage, not the
lying.
So I do have two serious clips
where he's actually talking
about the internet and Africa
and how much money we're we're
going to spend in Africa to get
them all jacked up on the
internet. Let's go Biden,
Africa, internet,
digital transformation with
Africa, working with Congress to
invest $350 billion to
facilitate more than almost a
half a billion dollars in
financing to make sure people
across Africa can participate in
a digital economy.
I have something I got info on
this. I'm waiting. Did you look
at Did you hear what he said?
Yes. $350 billion. So people in
Africa can notice
a facilitate? Yes. To loaning 50
What is it? The voice of the 7x
amount? It takes a 10 bucks to
sell somebody? I think for $1
What What kind of business man
is this?
Are you trying to tell me you
you thought the US government
was ever prudent at spending
money?
I am remiss, okay, I have part
two of this clip you want to
play before we play
I do gotta close partnerships
like no collaboration between
Microsoft and visa to bring in
Internet access to 5 million
Africans part of Microsoft's
commitment to bring access to
100 million people across Africa
by the end of year 2025. That
means that means programs to
train African entrepreneurs with
a focus on women entrepreneurs
to code and build skills that
need to start their own
businesses to secure good paying
jobs and technology with
technology firms. And this will
include partnerships between
African American African
American companies to provide
cybersecurity services to make
sure Africa's digital
environment is reliable and
secure.
Alright, so I had the same clip
with the second part with the
partnerships that Microsoft
partnerships and I think that's
interesting because I went to
look up the visa partnership or
as he said, Visa, whatever he
said I
think he's thought I think that
what he said was not visa he
was he said visa because visa is
in this deal.
Okay, well, it sounds like he
said visa or something. Or some
African country now he
can't reach some African guys a
turnip. Okay, he's a turnip visa
will invest in Africa's digital
transformation, and has pledged
to invest $1 billion in Africa
to accelerate the digital
transformation. And this
announcement was made during the
US Africa Isn't this forum in
Washington on Wednesday,
December 14, visa will use the
money to scale operations,
deploy new technologies and
deepen collaboration with its
partners in the next five years.
Those include merchants,
governments, financial
institutions, fintechs and
mobile network operators what
this is, and this is what I
believe is happening with this
push towards Africa. They want
to get everybody on our payment
system. We don't want them on
any French thing and European
thing. Certainly not any Chinese
thing, any any central bank
digital currency, if it's going
to be one, it's gonna be ours.
And they're already getting
ready and pushing countries like
Nigeria in that direction.
Because you know, cash as we
learned on the last episode of
the no agenda show is criminal
for 12 years. Nandu Kumar has
grown his business by mostly
trading with large volumes of
cash. But under a new central
bank directive starting January
the ninth, individuals can only
withdraw 100,000, naira or $225
Every week, while companies are
allowed to withdraw just over
$1,000 weekly. The policy is to
rein in on excess cash in
circulation, curb inflation,
prevent counterfeiting, and
discourage for payment of
ransoms to kidnappers who demand
cash.
The kidnapping, of course, is
key. But I also like that, hey,
we just got to pull some money
out of circulation, we got crazy
inflation. And if you go back to
this visa announcement, as well
as acting as a partner to banks
that issue credit and debit
cards, Visa has African
operations require it to work
alongside the continents mobile
money and alternative payment
fintechs which use solutions,
including mobile wallets and
virtual cards to bring digital
payments to unbanked
populations. This is the
language of the central bank
digital currency. And it would
make total sense for the US to
roll out a digital dollar in
Africa first aid would be
genius. Let's see how it works
on those guys. Just like with
vaccines, everything we'd have
tried out on them first. Yeah,
I think it's smart move.
Now it is it's a genius move and
they're bringing in the bringing
in visa to help them MasterCard
is already all in with the World
Economic Forum. So they're
already doing their version of
whatever. So it's beautiful.
It's gonna be very, very
interesting.
So well on the topic of bashing
Biden let's go to the PBS
NewsHour we have this Brooks.
You know, the nervous to still
seems to be like a nervous wreck
when he talks to is it really a
nervous wreck? And this K part
guy who is now
a new partner because Brooks
killed the old guy.
The old guy died of old age and
are the VAX and K part is they
out gay, proud gay. Now
associate editor of the
Washington Post, he's moved up
actually, to the point where
he's got some power. Oh, and he
is such a bigoted gay guy. He is
a bigot. He's a bigoted, gay
guy. He hates everything it says
it's, uh, you know, writ all
over Democrat. He loves Joe
Biden. He's
big ated.
So let's do our brigaded guy.
Let's listen to the part one of
these three clips
and Jonathan, I'm going to eat
first. We just talked about the
the January 6. Committee on
Monday the wide reports tonight
that they are going to recommend
criminal referrals to the
Justice Department against
former President Trump's serious
charges. What what's your
reaction? What do you make of
it?
Well, my my initial reaction is
good.
What kind of journalist editor
of any newspaper would say good
make this kind of good. He's
getting arrested good nerves.
This is a bigot. He should not
be considered a journalist by
any means, let alone edit the
Washington Post
t should be doing a show with
Kara Swisher.
Okay, part two here.
blow to the committee. Jonathan,
if justice doesn't go ahead and,
and, and make charges based on
these referrals?
I don't think it'd be a blow to
the committee. But if the
Justice Department doesn't take
action, with all of the evidence
that the committee has presented
to the American people, not to
mention the evidence to the
Justice Department on its own,
possibly collected in its
various investigations into what
happened on January 6. That
would be more disappointing. I
think the committee's served its
purpose. It investigated it
interview With more than 1000
witnesses, it put on compelling
hearings for the American people
in ways that the American people
could listen, digest, understand
and learn about how close their
government came to teetering at
the instigation of the former
president.
Do we know the actual charge
that they're talking about?
Yeah, they're gonna dig out
three charges they're going to
they're thinking of doing but
let's review what he just said,
Okay. Despite the fact that,
that the President sent a memo
to Pelosi to fill up the place
with cops, so they don't do what
happened on January 6, and she
ignored it and never testified
about it. He knows that. And
besides the fact that he said
peaceful Trump himself said
peaceful and he said, but people
that are going to go to the
Capitol, and that he wanted to
go to at some point, and besides
the fact that these 1000
witnesses, most of them if they
weren't amenable to, to trashing
Trump, were testimonies behind
closed doors. He knows all that
but yet he's going on and on
about how there's if there's no
indictment there, they're nuts.
Now, on the other hand, we now
switch topics on the with these
two and this time Brooks chimes
in because he's, this is no,
this is the PBS NewsHour has
become a laughingstock, as far
as I'm concerned in terms of its
where they have and who are they
going to have replacing Judy?
The woman there's a multicoated
girl Oh, that's right. She she
she's she's gonna get the she
anchor the anchor, is she? I
think so. But she's really she's
you don't have the gravitas in
her voice to do it? Well, he
does have a
you have to you have to inhale
like that while
he does a lot. So and by the
way, I cut most of those out and
when I do clips with her because
she's always breathing in
partially, but let's listen to
this. This is this is two
Democrat mavens going on and on
about Great Old Joe. He's
probably the best president
we've ever had. And they both
agree with each other. As usual.
I agree with you. I agree with
you. And listen to this pathetic
excuse for analysis
poll that the NewsHour did
collaborating with NPR and
Marist. Asking people not only
about President Biden's approval
riches up a little bit 43%. But
they were but they were in each
party Democrats were asked about
whether they think Joe Biden
should be the nominee and in
2024, Republicans were asked the
same question about former
President Trump and Biden 35% of
Democrats think he should be the
nominee for Trump 45%. What does
that tell us?
It says for President Biden, the
fact that 35% of Democrats want
him to run for reelection
doesn't tell me a whole lot
because Democrats have been
wringing their hands about
President Biden, since the man
took the oath of office. And I
just would like for all of them
to chill out. He's just two
years hence the first term, let
the man do his job. And when he
does his job, as we have seen
over this last year alone, the
dude gets stuff done. So stop
the hand wringing, let him do
his job, and let them decide
whether he's going to run for
reelection, which I think he
will.
Democratic voters could be a big
pain in the rear ends. I mean,
the guy who has passed a lot of
legislation is masterfully
orchestrated a war and the
Ukrainian effort against Russia.
He's just more or less won the
midterms. What more do you want?
So he's, he's older than some
people. But you know, he's had a
successful presidency as far as
I can tell him and this is not
just about Joe Biden and Joe
Biden's age. This is something
in the DNA of the Democratic
Party. I've never really
understood why they can't be
loyal to a guy's like their guy.
That's so pathetic.
It really is. And he
orchestrated a great wars that
would Yeah. straighted a great
or good word, just an everyday
or
a good one. A great war, just
like the last great war. Well, I
have some ABC responses to this.
John Karl on deck telling us a
little bit about this January 6
committee and what's going on
after more than a year of closed
door investigations and dramatic
public hearings dramatic. ABC
News has learned the January 6
committee plans to recommend
criminal charges for former
President Donald Trump. Sources
familiar with the committee's
deliberations say the
recommended charges will include
conspiracy to defraud the United
States and obstruction of an
official proceeding. The
committee is also considering
recommending Trump be charged
with its direction. Over the
course of 10 public hearings,
the committee has methodically
made the case, Donald Trump was
singularly responsible for the
attack on the Capitol. Not just
that day,
gotta walk down to the Capitol
because you'll never take back
our country with weakness. You
have to show strength and you
have to be strong.
Wow. I don't think that sentence
was actually strung together
that way, the way they just put
this in the report sounds a
little fake, dishonest
during the weeks and months
after the election leading up to
January 6,
President Trump summoned the
mob, assembled the mob and lit
the flame of this attack.
The committee's criminal
referral comes as it is
preparing to release its final
report next week.
Oh, it's the final report that
we gotta wait for, oh, next
week, just before Christmas. So
no one actually reads it. Is
that is that the idea? I don't
know.
Let's ask why they wait. Well,
next week would be after
Christmas.
Let's ask Jess are talking about
next week being starting
tomorrow?
I think tomorrow. I think it
started tomorrow. Let's ask John
Karl, what are the contract?
What what does this what does
this mean for Trump?
So let's get right to John Carl
tonight with this late news. And
John bottom line. What does this
mean for the former president
that these would be criminal
referrals as we know this
decision is still up to the DOJ
here.
David, the bottom line is that
it is entirely up to the
Department of Justice, whether
to pursue criminal charges
against Donald Trump and with or
without these criminal referrals
from the January 6 committee,
the Department of Justice
already has multiple
investigations into Donald Trump
now overseen by Special Counsel
Jack Smith, those investigations
include charges related to
January 6, but also related to
his handling of government
documents after he left office.
But as you said, the bottom line
here is this is entirely up to
the Department of Justice
whether or not to see criminal
indictments of Donald Trump.
Now, what I don't understand is
that the Special Counsel Jack
Smith has subpoenaed officials
in all seven states that Trump
accused of, of playing funny
business.
So I thinking is if you're a
Democrat, the thinking is he's
doing that for the purposes of
finding evidence that Trump
called him up and threatened
him. Okay, well, maybe he can. I
mean, what do you think? Do they
think Do you think they will
have the balls to go through
this and I mean, forget how they
do it, but the idea is, whatever
they do to Trump it so that he
can legally not run for
president but that's what,
that's what they want. That's
the goal. How do you think
that's gonna go over in America?
Not Well, no,
I think it's gonna go over very
poorly. And who is is, is
Merrick Garland really going to
pull that trigger? Do you think
he'd really he
is a weenie looking guy when you
see him every time he just looks
so much like Don Knotts, you
know, shaking in his boots,
because you've got that one
bullet in his pocket? Yeah. And
when he loads the gun with the
bullet remains to be seen, but
he's getting a lot of pressure
to do something. And if they
does, it will change American
politics forever because now
every president will go let go
after be like South America,
where a guy's know the guy's a
president for six years. And
next thing you know, he's in
jail. Next guy comes in he's
been arrested after he gets
voted out. And yeah, I mean, it
came close to that sort of a
system and it would Berlusconi,
but it hasn't really happened is
also the same thing with in
France with supposedly they will
start cozy, whatever his name
was the previous previous prime
president was supposedly gonna
get indicted, never dead. It's
just a lot of it's not good.
It's unhealthy. And it is
trumped up. We've watched this
whole thing. These charges are
bulk bogus.
Yeah. So there's something else
that's happening with the
American news, which is I think
it's surprising. Well, maybe
not. We the borders of the
United States, certainly Texas
and the southern border, as it's
called a pretty much open anyone
can come in, and just It's
overwhelming, everyone's let
through. But there's this title
42, which Trump put into place,
which allowed border enforcement
to actually kick people out of
the country, and that's
expiring, I think at the end of
the year, which means they will
the border authority will not
have the authority to send
people back, and it seems like
the left wing media which is
what most media is m five M.
They're a little disturbed by
it. And they're reporting from
the border now. Here's Martha
Raddatz tonight. This is the
scene that the US they sent
Martha Raddatz to the border. So
this is serious reporting
they're doing now,
tonight. This is the scene that
the US Mexico border. Dozens of
migrants lining this fence to be
processed off from Cuba. along
the Rio Grande. You can see
their wet clothes shoes signs of
their arduous journey. But
despite miles of fences, miles
of border and the National Guard
along this border, you can just
look right there drive down.
There's the river. That's Mexico
just on the other side. By some
estimates, hundreds, maybe 1000s
of migrants are waiting in
shelters like this one in Ciudad
Juarez for the exploration of
title 42 the Trump era policy
that allows the expulsion of
migrants without letting them
seek asylum. Are Matt Rivers met
Carlos in Ciudad Juarez? He was
sent back to Mexico after
crossing into El Paso earlier
this week. He hit
on I put them in a bus and they
didn't say anything. They
brought them to the bridge and
he crossed back over here.
He is one of the 2500 migrants
crossing into El Paso every day,
Mexico just over the river. We
surveyed the border with Texas
Governor Greg Abbott. He tells
me they're bracing for a surge.
What do you think happens next
week when title 42 comes to an
end?
If the courts don't intervene
and put a halt to the removal of
title 42 It's gonna be total
chaos.
DHS has predicted as many as
18,000 people could cross the
border every day. If title 42
expires next week.
This is gonna be kind of
interesting.
Yeah, this is a good degrade Joe
Biden. This is one of his great
things that these two jokers on
PBS are talking about. So at ABH
elations
at ABC News, they have a new a
new theme, just as we heard John
Carl being asked So bottom line
it for us. This seems to be the
new thing at ABC News bottom
line. So
let's bring in Martha Raddatz
live in Texas for us tonight and
Martha bottom line here for
people who are really
why why are they doing this?
What is this bottom line thing
all of a sudden
just gets replaced at the end of
the day. Oh, okay,
let's bring in Martha Raddatz
live in Texas for us tonight.
And Martha bottom line here for
people who are really following
this issue title 42. A set to
expire next week, the White
House Congress will be pressed
on how they plan to handle this.
Exactly. David 19 GOP states
have appealed. So this is before
a judge but as of right now,
title 42 will be lifted on
Wednesday. And there could be a
massive wave of migrants but the
Biden administration says they
are preparing for that. And
Congress could provide emergency
funding. David says big
issue. Martha Raddatz Martha.
Thank you, Martha. We'll have
much more live from the border,
including her interview with the
Texas governor. This week. Of
course. That's Sunday morning
right here, Martha. Thank you.
So emergency funding, so just we
don't want to fix the problem.
Just send more money.
Yeah. Ah, goodness. Exactly.
This so bad. All right. I this
was a great story. If you ever
been to Berlin, you've probably
seen it. I don't know if you've
ever been to this particular
part of Berlin but this is
fantastic.
Sub freezing temperatures are
suspected of causing a five
storey high aquarium to burst
today at a hotel in Berlin,
Germany. People thought a bomb
went off when the glass exploded
more than 200,000 gallons of
water and 1500 tropical fish are
washed into the street and two
people were injured.
Now do you know how this story
played out in Europe?
Well, first of all, I want to
tell everyone that if you get a
shot at it, go look this up so
you can see this thing. This was
a massive aquarium that was in
the middle of a hotel. Astrium
atrium that looks like it's
about six storeys high, and it
was just right. It was huge. It
was monstrous. It's
unbelievable. It was even
manufactured. Anyway, not take
it from there. Sorry.
So in Europe, the story played
out that this is the fault of
Putin, of course. And I will
explain Oh, yes, yes, it is
because of the Putin dirty,
nasty oil and gas that he has
cut off. As you know, all
everyone has been asked to cut
back on gas. And because the
hotel had lowered their
temperature, because of Putin's
war, his illegal war. That's
what caused the differential in
temperature for Hate to crack.
So indirectly, another one for
Putin. Wow. Right.
I think he blame everything on
that guy.
Well, why not? It's pretty good.
I like it. It's very good. I
really I like it too. I like it
too. Let me see a little update
from the EU on the corruption
case. This is Eva Kylie, who I
as as we said we heard the
partner thing being played up.
And well turns out she may not
be culpable.
And in the latest development in
the corruption scandal involving
member of European Parliament,
Eva Kelly, her Italian partner
has reportedly confessed his
role in the Qatar graft scandal.
According to a report by news
agency, Reuters Francesco
Georgie has confessed to taking
bribes from Qatar to influence
the European Parliament
decisions on Qatar. This has
reportedly made a significant
contribution to the probe
underway by Belgian
investigating magistrates,
Georgie worked as an assistant
to an Italian Member of the
European Parliament reports that
Georgie has told investigators
that Kaylee was not involved in
the corruption scandal. Kaley,
who was sacked from her role as
Vice President of the European
Parliament has denied any role
in the alleged bribery, while
Qatar has also denied any
involvement in the corruption
case. Earlier Kaylee's lawyer
had suggested that Georgie might
have answers about the existence
the scatch found that home a
series of searches of the homes
and offices of politicians,
lobbyists and parliamentary
assistants turned up around 1.6
million US dollars in cash.
Kaylee, her partner as well as x
and NPR, Antonio Banbury, and
lobbyists, Niccolo figured out a
mantra are all charged with
corruption, money laundering and
organized crime. On Thursday,
the European Parliament
suspended all work on
legislation linked to Qatar and
Parliament's president told the
European Union leaders she would
lead reforms to prevent a repeat
of a criminal corruption
scandal.
Of course, we have to go to
India to get these this kind of
reporting W IO N I guess she's
because she's not guilty but it
seems like it the money went
from 600,000 euros to $1.6
million this this is not adding
up here. And I given us the full
story now
this you know, we're not getting
this story at all. No,
obviously. No. Well, here's an
interesting little side bit
here. Looks like I don't want to
play this up too much because
you don't know is PVS store in
Starbucks going on strike.
Starbucks workers kicked off a
three day walk out today, as
they tried to unionize the
coffee chain. Organizers
estimated more than 1000 says at
100 stores were taking part no
good paying union jobs. It is
the latest in a series of labor
actions. There have been votes
to unionize it more than 260 of
Starbucks 9000 company run
stores in the US.
Well, if you're going to play
that, then I need to play this.
This is from a YouTuber. So it's
just about a minute. This
YouTubers name is Patrick
Humphrey, and he works in
shipping in shipping and
particularly the trains. And
this is a little piece of
information. He started his his
YouTube video with a
massive railroad embargo has
just started. This has started
with Union Pacific Railway. They
have implemented this embargo.
And they are telling producers
and shippers to take off
hundreds and hundreds of their
carts individually. All right,
individual shippers are being
told to take off hundreds of
their cards. And they're being
told that shipping limits and
shipping embargoes are being put
in place. Right. So this is very
serious. This is a another
threat to our Railway. This is
just like the strikes we saw
last month earlier this month,
we are seeing these strikes.
Thankfully they were averted.
Right. But we are still seeing
repercussions and reactions to
it. And it's almost is this
intentional is this on purpose
because the rate at which Union
Pacific is shutting down. And
putting these embargoes in place
is extreme. It's almost 10x
compared to what they normally
do. Right. And this has been
happening this year. And it's
just almost makes you wonder if
they're trying to shut down the
railways on purpose.
I mean, I don't have much else
I'll just call it a boots on the
ground report.
Well, I only have one thing to
say about that is it kind of
explains what I saw a couple of
days ago and I don't know if
it's been going on every day
because they only catch it when
I look out the window and look
down it down the hill where the
tracks are Union Pacific BNSF is
with BNSF but they're was a
normally there's like a 100 to
200 car train goes by twice a
day usually filled with
containers from China that
they're bringing into the into
the into the hinterlands and
there was nothing but empty is
empty carriers there was just
like infinite number of empty
carriers are NO NO
NO NO NO carts on it at all just
no carriers whatsoever. So we
have empty holders that like to
think that you put that you drop
a container and then you drop
another container on it and off
it goes. Now these are all
empties, which I've never seen
so many heading out of the
border Oakland empty
well there you have it. We have

the Costco management. I didn't

Costco was in Australia. They're
everywhere. I didn't know that.
I didn't know they were in
Australia specifically. And when
you're done with this, I have
one less slip then because I
have a New Zealand report.
Okay. Costco, staff and
management of Costco. When can
we get this lettuce? I mean,
spinach at Costco

spinach shut away with warning

Just the opposite is this New
Zealand report where they're
banning. Well play this and
you'll see.
New Zealand has just banned the
next generation from purchasing
tobacco products ever. The
country passed a package of new
anti smoking laws yesterday. The
suite of new laws is among the
strictest in the world. It
includes prohibiting sales of
tobacco to anyone born on or
after January 1 2009. That's
punishable by fines of nearly
100,000 US dollars. The
legislation also reduces the
amount of nicotine allowed in
smoked tobacco products, and it
cuts the number of retailers
able to sell tobacco by 90% it
will drop from 6000 to 600 by
the end of 2023. New Zealand
already boasts low adult smoking
rates but the government hopes
to make the country's smoke free
by 2025.
Now I think we heard about this
and I wonder if this is you know
to still usher in the the eye
cos or anything like that. No,
no, but you know really they
should just give people the
option of smoking but
they didn't somebody never gave
him part two of the scam so the
eye cos is out of the picture
there's no smoking whatsoever in
New Zealand after a certain
year.
Man Hey people over there in
Australia you should do you
should get some of them spinach
from spinach the spinach sounds
like a much better deal than
smoking telling you I have not
