Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, January 19 2023. This
is your award winning
accumulation media assassination
episode 1522
This is no agenda,
deconstructing Davos and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas new country here in
February to number six in the
morning everybody I'm Adam curry
in from Northern Silicon Valley
where we've got the king tide.
king tide. I'm Jesse DeVore
actually kill
the king tide is that word dead
fish roll up on the beach or
what is the king tide again?
king tides when everything's
lined up the moon, the sun,
everything in between him? Raise
the tide seven feet.
Oh, we're all gonna die.
What happens if
the tide rises? Seven feet
is whatever the Yeah, that's
that's that's pretty high as
well. I'm looking at this at the
mud flats. Yes. As one does.
Yes. And the mud flats are
filled with water.
Okay, so there's it's high tide.
It's super high, but it's super
high tide king tide king called
king tide. Look it up.
So do we have that here? Or is
only where you are?
It's everywhere. worldwide
phenomenon. Oh, oh,
no wonder they're doing all this
climate change stuff in Davos.
Perfect, perfect. Time to do it
to king tide is where you want
to do it. I have been enjoying
Davos covered so much. Oh, good.
Because I haven't. You haven't
you haven't been enjoying it or
you haven't been looking at it?
I am. I don't care about oh,
it's
genius. There's so much goodness
happening. This. I mean, it is
really lovely.
But I'm sure you have a report
for us. I'm sure that there's
some clips that are dynamite.
Yeah. But before we even go
there, we have a very sad, we
have sad news to share for the
show. Oh, yeah. We're losing one
of our favorite subjects.
Who Yes.
And a surprise announced by Yang
from New Zealand Prime Minister
Jacinda Ardern. She's stepping
down she became a global icon.
But her popularity took a turn
last year due to COVID
restrictions and inflation. She
was the world's youngest female
leader in 2017 at age 37, and
gave birth while in office. But
she says now it's time for
someone new.
But I'm not leaving because it
was had had that been the case,
I probably would have departed
two months into the job. I know
what this job takes. And I know
that I no longer have enough in
the tank to do it justice.
She's got one more month on the
job.
She doesn't have enough in the
tank. I don't even know what
that means. I don't have enough
in the tank to do the job. But
But what I what is so
unfortunate is they didn't play
her choking up. This is this is
a piece of the original audio,
but also one of the more
challenging, you cannot and
should not do it unless you have
a full tank plus a bit in
reserve for those unexpected
challenges. This summer I had
hoped to find a way to prepare
not just for another year, but
another term because that is
what this year requires. I have
not been able to do that
concern today I'm announcing
that I will not be seeking
reelection in my term as Prime
Minister will conclude no later
than the seventh
of February no man should
quivering lip and everything. I
wonder
so that was that report they
don't give the real reason she
quit.
Her tank is empty but doesn't
have enough in the tank. That's
that's the report. She said it
herself. You need a full tank.
And I don't have enough in my
tank.
Well, I wish I could get to the
recording of this but what
really happened?
Oh, we know we know what
happened. She had a hot mic
incident right?
She had a hot mic incident.
Where she cussed with with the
foulest mouth imaginable said
she said prick. That's all I
think that's all she said was
it? She said fuck a couple of
times. I think I thought it was
calling him a prick. The problem
was she made a big point of
kindness. She was the kind of
Prime Minister and she was going
to be kind and kind was was the
watchword and so then she goes
off after this guy in a hot mic.
And I guess the opposition shows
the opposition leader the
opposition leader and I suppose
that
so you have to resign over that.
Day. We're going to pound her
about it.
I think I think seeing her moved
before this. I think she's got
something pretty cushy lined up.
Now I'm sure She's thinking
she's got a think tank or you
know, she'll definitely. I
wonder if she'll she won't go
out to the World Economic Forum.
I don't think she's out there.
But she was lined up. She'll
have something lined up. Can you
hear thirsty Third Thursday? Can
you hear it? The third my th
it's fixed.
Yeah, okay. It was fine before
but it was
not fine before. Okay, thanks.
Thanks for being happy for me.
I also mentioned this to horror
was brought to us up and I said,
Because horror was got sick.
Yeah, he's got COVID again.
COVID. He texted me yesterday to
laugh about it again. He's not
but now he has fever. He's she
has chills.
No, he's in bad shape. It's
not good. No,
he did the show, though. The I
heard even and I thought he did
a good job of covering up his
sickness and he was uptempo
enough. And I talked, we talked
about you because you're the
master of sounding good, no
matter how you feel. And I made
the comment that if curry had no
teeth, he could still pull it
off. He said, well, well,
thanks. mine personally, isn't
that loose? But
all right. All right. I was just
happy. Nevermind.
I'm glad you're happy for
something that no one notices.
Just like
it's like when I hear a buzz.
You know, if I hear a buzz
somewhere in the audio chain, no
one hears it, but I hear it and
it's distracting. Yeah. Okay.
Back to the back to Davos. We
had it was really fantastic that
everybody came out. Everybody
got a shot somewhere I got a
chance to say something. Let me
see up first we had of course,
as the Lensky his wife because
you know the vlog Volodymyr had
to had to video conference in to
play for more more weaponry. But
now Now she she gets to go to
top top of the bill. By the way,
right off the bat, he or she is
the first lady of Ukraine.
You're all united by the fact
that you are really very
influential early adopters.
There's also something that
separates you are some NFC on
that is that not all of you are
using this influence, which has
some crossover. Or sometimes you
use it in a way, that device
even more when we talk about
energy security, we mean that no
child in the world should have
to do their homework by
candlelight, like children in
Ukraine are doing that no doctor
would have to perform surgeries
in the light of flashlights as
recently in cave on leaf excites
you. At some point, we have to
pronounce an end to this for me,
it's so that our people can
return home scattered around the
world right now. So that our
fathers or mothers, sons and
daughters can return from the
frontlines.
Very, very passionate plea. Of
course, everybody responded very
well to this. But the but the
real theme this year is climate
change, and we're all going to
die. And John Kerry watermelon
head is back on the scene.
Typically we don't play clips
from from John Kerry, this is a
short one. But it really gets to
the heart of who John Kerry is.
And when you stop and think
about it, it's pretty
extraordinary that we select
group of human beings because of
whatever touched us at some
point in our lives, are able to
sit in a room and come together
and actually talk about saving
the planet. I mean, it's so
almost Extra Terrestrial to
think about, quote saving the
planet. And if you said that to
most people, most people they
think you're just a crazy tree
hugging lefties liberal, you
know, do good or whatever. And
there's no relationship, but
really that's where we are.
He's part of the select few who
were touched. Touched early on.
Yeah. Touched I think just a
good word for touched.
Yes, we were touched in it is
us. We are the chosen ones to do
this. The Chosen Ones. Big
keynote opening keynote by oh,
by the way, you know, there was
there was rumors just before
everything started that George
Soros and Klaus Schwab would not
be appearing this year because
of health concerns or something
and it was all over Twitter went
like fire. literally five
minutes later, Klaus Schwab is
on stage it was it was
phenomenal. Well done Twitter.
Good to go. So we had the main
keynote from our girl Queen
Ursula. And she made it very
clear about what the what the
agenda is. As she is she's
actually quite quite pissed. And
this was really part of the
whole discussion as well as that
seems like America and even
China are screwing with her her
her Green Deal. And she does not
like it,
we Europeans have a plan, a
Green Deal industrial plan, our
plan to make Europe the home of
clean tech, and industrial
innovation. On the road to net
zero. Our Green Deal industrial
plan will be covering four
different pillars, the
regulatory environment,
financing, skills, and trade.
The first pillar is about speed
and access, we need to recreate
a regulatory environment that
allows us to scale up fast, and
to create conducive conditions
for sectors crucial to reach the
net zero goal that we've set
ourselves. This includes, for
example, wind, heat pumps, solar
clean hydrogen storage and other
topics, which demand is boosted
by our next gen
shoot. So these are the four
pillars. And when it comes to
climate change,
net zero goals that we've set
ourselves. This includes, for
example, wind, heat pumps, heat
pumps, again,
they keep on keep I told you
heat pumps, this is heat pumps,
staying heat pumps,
because you can't have your your
heat created by gas, it has to
be electricity. So you know, you
reverse the refrigeration
process, you get your heat pump.
Yeah, it's the second thing she
mentioned. So it's going to be
big. I'm very bullish on heat
pumps. Now back to her anger
about the USA, we're not we're
not really playing fair,
the United States are our
friends and our partners very
clear. And it's very good, that
we are all now investing heavily
in the green transition.
Important is if we look at Green
Tech, the tech industry is that
we have a level playing field, I
think we should compete on
content on quality, but not on
subsidies. If such subsidies are
necessary to boost the
development of the clean tech
industry, then we should do it
as a joint effort, which we're
just working on as European
Union with our American friends.
And so does that leave China as
the main competitor in this
area? Indeed, we want to work
with China on fighting climate
change. But it needs to be a
work where fairness and a level
playing field is provided. And
we see that China is massively
subsidizing in a hidden way, its
industries, while it is not
giving access to the market, to
European companies, and that can
be that is not acceptable. So
competition is good. Trade is
good. But it has to be fair and
a level playing field.
The Europeans are really angry
because the inflation Reduction
Act put a whole bunch of
subsidies for really American
manufacturers, even the car
subsidies, they don't apply to
anything built in Europe, it has
to have American parts and so
they're all bent out of shape
that we just like China are
subsidizing this phony baloney
deal. And they don't want to do
that. Like why do we don't want
to subsidize everything? So
that's one of the main themes
people a little bit angry about
us, us being the United States.
I know. But luckily, they still
have, you know, the true
diehards out there. The climate
change, guys, the researchers,
this is a great guy, his name is
Johan rock strim. And he's
wearing a north face, you know,
like red polar outfit. Like he's
ready to go off and save some
polar bears himself. And he had
such a cool word salad. I think
this is a Deutsche Avella,
he'll on the global risk part of
the World Economic Forum climate
risk is on top of the agenda.
How bad is the situation? How
bad
is the situation?
The situation is really
worrying. We are at 1.2 degrees
Celsius warming already today is
the warmest today. And within
the next 10 years, we may reach
1.5 degrees Celsius and
scientifically with today's
show, clearly, that's a physical
limit go beyond it. And we risk
triggering many tipping points
to Greenland Ice Sheet
many tipping points. Not just
one many tipping points.
What do you how many tipping
points do you need many
you need many otherwise nothing
happened. Clearly.
That's a physical limit go
beyond it and we risk triggering
many tipping points. What is
clearly business what is clear,
and within the next 10 years we
may reach 1.5 degrees Celsius
and scientifically we today show
clearly. That's a physical limit
go beyond that and we risk
triggering many tipping points.
Oh, the Greenland ice sheet the
West Antarctic Ice Sheet that
represents 10 meter sea level
rise, abrupt thawing of
permafrost which will amplify
warming even more. Uh huh. So
the risks are real. But what I
find really significant in this
year's World Economic Forum's
Global risk report is that in
the top five, it's climate Chang
is geopolitical instability, the
food system crisis, and its
risks to the global economy due
to inflation, which just shows
that we're intermeshed in a, in
a global crisis situation.
Climate change is at the core
because climate impacts on food,
climate impacts on energy,
climate impacts on stability and
societies. So it's really kind
of a complex of many world
governments at the same time.
We got a poly crisis going on.
That was another one poly
crisis. So when you have a poly
crisis, you got a whole bunch of
douchebags sitting together, you
got something to do with poly.
Poly isn't multi, not poly,
poly, the YouTuber. Poly isn't
multi poly, I don't know, stop
watching her. So when you're
when you're when there's a lot
of nut jobs around, you got to
bring in the top nut job, Al
Gore Al Gore resurging at Davos,
2023, and just in top form, and
he's heavier than ever. And just
to put the science in a slightly
different context. People are
familiar with that thin blue
line that the astronauts bring
back in their pictures from
space. That's the that's the
part of the atmosphere that has
oxygen atmosphere. And it's only
five to seven
is that is that where the oxygen
is in that thin blue line. It's
not all around us.
It's only in the line. And
he laughed when he when he said
this bullcrap thing too.
That's the part of the
atmosphere that has oxygen that
drove a sphere. And that's only
five to seven kilometers thick.
Oh, that's what we're using as
an open sewer. If you could
drive a car straight up in the
air at interstate highway
speeds, you get to the top of
that blue line and five minutes
stop shitting on the thin blue
line. And all the greenhouse gas
pollution would be below you.
We're still putting 162 million
tons into it every single day.
And the accumulated amount is
now trapping as much extra heat
as would be released by 600,000.
Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every single day. Oh,
wait a minute. Wait a minute.
Did he increase that number?
I don't know. He ever find one
of the old clip? Yes. Well,
yes. Because here he is. What do
you just say? 6000.
Playback. extra heat
as would be released by 600,000.
Hiroshima class atomic bomb.
100,000 100,000. Let's go back
to 2015 as
would be released by 400,000
Hiroshima class 400,020 18. And
it now traps as much extra heat
energy every day, as would be
released by 500,000. Hiroshima
class atomic bomb,
man, it's now 6500. Yeah.
600,000 for heat
as would be released by 600,000.
Hiroshima class atomic bombs.
I can't believe we accelerated
so fast.
So he's going he's at home
thinking the following. You
know, I've been saying this
400,000 thing. Nobody's paying
any attention to it. Let me Jack
it
up. Well, then he went, he went
from 400,000 to 500,000. Now
he's any six
and then no one paid any
attention because it's like,
just a stupid thing to say. And
okay.
This 2015 It was 400,003 years
later, it was 500,000. Now we're
okay, technically four. But
really, three years later, it's
600,000. So at least he's
consistent with his increases.
But it'll go up to 700,000 next
time around, but it's like, it's
like a ludicrous analogy. It's
dumb. And so nobody pays any
attention to it. He doesn't get
it. He doesn't understand why
people don't understand that
400 500 or 600,000. Hiroshima
bombs.
It's still pretty bad with one
accumulated amount. He's now
trapping as much extra heat as
would be released by 600,000.
Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every single day on
the earth. That's what's boiling
the ocean. Every
single day, every day every
single day. Wait, did he say
that in 2018? I gotta go back
and check
and it now traps as much extra
heat energy every day. Yeah,
it's every day. It was always
every day every day. 100,000
Hiroshima class atomic bombs
exploding every single day on
the earth. That's what's boiling
the oceans creating these
atmosphere.
The ocean is boiling. What the
ocean is boiling the ocean. The
ocean is boiling. I'm looking at
the ocean from here. And DC
bowls. Do you see bubbles? I see
no boiling whatsoever. In fact,
if you got to the San Francisco
Beach, which is right there on
the real ocean, I'm freezing
cold
cry. Boiling man. You You're not
out you don't know what he
means, say
on the earth. That's what's
boiling the oceans creating
these atmospheric rivers and the
rain bombs the moisture out of
the land and
rain bombs. Wait a minute. What?
Right What a rain bombs.
Yeah, there was a rain. They
brought the rain bomb up. And
some really? Yeah, recently
I've not heard of why shouldn't
the bomb cyclone now it's the
rain bomb,
and bomb, Cyclone rain bomb
whatever is boiling
every single day on the earth.
That's what's boiling the
oceans, creating these
atmospheric rivers and the rain
bombs and sucking the moisture
out of the land and creating the
droughts and melting the ice and
raising the sea level and
causing these waves of climate
refugees predicted.
Sugar in his bio,
melting the ice and raising the
sea level and causing these
waves
Is he is he Alex Jones gets
better
climate refugees predicted to
reach 1 billion in this century.
Look at the xenophobia and
political authoritarian trends
that have come from just a few
million refugees. What about a
billion we would lose our
capacity for self governance on
this world, we have to act. So
in answer your question, I would
say we have to have a sense of
urgency much greater than we
have yet had and we need to have
had and we need to make some
changes,
we make changes wow, this guy is
have another clip, believe it or
not.
Wait, wait, that was an answer
to some question. Yeah, that's
just
a general, I don't even know
what the quote who cares what
the question is question. The
guy is fantastic. He does not
stop. So now of course, the
problem, one of the pillars of
Davos this year is the
financing. We're just not not
spending enough money, we need
to free up some cash
enough already enough. And I
don't want to get sidetracked on
to what needs to happen. But we
need to scale up climate
finance. But we need desperately
to scale down anti climate
finance. And we are still
subsidizing the burning of
fossil fuels globally at a rate
42 times larger than the
subsidies for the shift toward
renewables and EVs, etc. We need
new leadership at the World
Bank, we need them to scale up
the leverage and vastly increase
the amounts that are committed.
And we need to rein in the anti
climate activities of the fossil
industry.
I think this is the second time
we've heard someone say we need
new leadership at the World
Bank. In regard to climate
change, there's something going
on about how this is going to be
financed to the World Bank, I
think I'm not sure. But why
would he say that? We need new
leadership. Hmm.
sketchy. Interesting. Yeah.
That's a very interesting catch.
Yeah. Your mic is.
Has my interest wondering. The
World Bank?
Your mic is loose again.
Yeah, exactly. Yes. Sorry.
So there was a I'm almost done
with this with this basic
report. There was let me see.
Add the fee to get
more love by the way. He
Yes, I did get Borla the thing
you I have a couple of things on
Borla. You on Borla. Now I will
finish what you're doing wind
up. Yeah, I wind up with boys a
part of it.
I'm gonna look up the World
Bank.
The so the 15 minutes city,
which we've been, we've been
hearing a lot of this. And in
fact, we have a couple 15
minutes cities one is Oxford.
Well, and people just blowing
through the barricades. We
haven't talked about the 15
Minute city on the show. But we
haven't
Okay. Well, I have I thought I
thought we did talk about the 15
Min. Yes,
we know I think we talked about
in in DayZ. Which clips for the
15 Minute city and we never
brought it okay.
Well, the the I'm sure we've at
least brought it up once the 15
Minute city idea is the idea
that to combat climate change,
you won't need your car. Because
everything you need will be
within a 15 minute radius. You
can drive your car if you want,
but you won't need to go very
far. And now in these 15 minutes
cities one is Oxford. There's
another part of London being
scheduled for one. The UK seems
to be all in. They literally
have barricades that pop out of
them in the middle of the
street. Like okay, you can't go
past this point with your car
because this is our 15 minute
city. So you have your grocer,
your doctor, you know you're one
hooker. I mean, everything you
need is within the 15 minutes. I
don't like to store I want to go
to a different store when you go
to Raleigh rallies Riley's or
whatever it is other than
Safeway. You won't be able to
you're not supposed to drive at
that because I know that for
example, Lucky's is the only
place that carries a certain
kind of linguist sausage. So I
want to go there instead. But
that's on the other side.
If you are an elite you're
linguini you don't need sausage
yet. Linguini linguists Yeah,
but you want a sausage? No Bugs
bugs is what you get bugs, bugs.
Here's the clip we did not play
from the last show. This is a
short clip about these
barricades that pop up in Oxford
as part of this 15 minute city
ring.
In the dead of night. A hooded
figure removes a base plate for
a Barnard then pour cement into
the hole. The aim to make it
hard to install a new one. This
footage obtained exclusively by
ITV meridian is one of hundreds
of incidents of vandalism in
Oxford's local traffic
neighborhoods,
those removing the barriers
often don't even wait for the
cover of night. Now New figures
show just how much this kind of
activity is costing delivery
drivers, some films
flouting the rules can go now
that I couldn't understand it,
because they're not listening to
us in nuts where the angers
coming in, you know that in
people being stuck in traffic,
there was no democracy and
Oxford
bombs on vandalism are a form of
civil disobedience.
Right? So people are vandalizing
these things that pop up because
they don't, they don't get it.
They don't understand it. So why
are we even doing this? This is
crazy. Of course, it's good. So
here's Swedish posh politician
says Name Bastiaan Gerard just
kind of follows up with with a
general tenant this this they're
very serious about these 15
minute cities, they are in fact
the future of living properly
within your city's borders and
for for policies really to
change the rules of the game
now. So that sustainability
becomes the easier choice not
just for the people, but also
for the companies now, so also
then, changing the way districts
work, for instance, I indirectly
have a lot of districts where
you actually don't need a car.
Because all the activities, no
school, buying something,
everything you can do in walking
distance, no, no. And by doing
that, no people don't buy a car.
And it's not felt like actually
they would like to have a car
and they're not allowed to have
it. But they simply don't need
it. Because the environment was
built in a way that they don't
need it. And I think this is
what policy needs to do. They
have to change the environment.
So a sustainable lifestyle.
lifestyle in harmony with nature
is the easiest way to go.
Yep, it's the easiest way to go.
It makes total sense. So yes,
the Pfizer team was out lots of
big pharma Of course, you'd
expected big finance, big
finance, Big Pharma, big, big
education. A lot of American
politicians cinema and mansion.
Why does Why does the senator
from Massachusetts or the
senator from West Virginia need
to be a Davos?
I mean, I mean,
there's that and of course
Albert Bula was indeed the you
know, the chairman of Pfizer, or
the CEO of Pfizer, he was there
and he's very excited because
they have the new flu flu
vaccine is ready good to go.
Where are
you in developing because I know
I think that's what you
originally do it but yeah, it's
accurate because I've got an RNA
for flu Where are you on a flu
vaccine based on mRNA
arriving that has completely
recruited to a waiting for cases
as they accumulate means that
people have been vaccinated
group placebo vaccine and the
disease some of them will get
this and then we are waiting to
unblind the data to see what is
coming
out we're just waiting for cases
we've been vaccinated we need to
wait let's see for that that
happening. We're coming
in that's what's gonna ask I
mean, you can't guarantee a
timeline depending on the
clinical trial No,
because if you miss guess, what
would you think? I think by the
first half of the year maybe
first half of
the year so are how far are we
away from one vaccine that's
both COVID and flu together
if we have a flu already we
started experiments to combine
the two so that you don't lose
time again. I think will come
more or less all together if it
is successful.
All right, so it's just it's all
successful. It's all working
it's all beautiful now what is
odd this year? Maybe not odd,
but it is odd. If you're a guy
like Borla and you're walking
around the streets of Davos
don't or even Schwab Don't you
think you would have like some
body guard on these guys really
important and top notch and you
know, they have to be protected
at all times? Don't they expect
to to be hounded on the streets?
In Switzerland? Yeah,
well, it because Alright, so
what it's almost like these,
like news. People go on podcast
and they say way too much. The
elites. They're walking around
Davos thinking I'm safe. I'm
here with all my friends. I'm
protected except people are
walking around like rebel news
from Canada. The Oh, yeah, you
tell me when you when you don't
want to hear it. So they
literally have three cameras,
one of the side, one behind and
one in front. They got two guys
with mics. Just hounding the
guy. He doesn't answer anything.
You can kind of hear the PR Li,
the PR lady struggling. But it's
just and this goes on for six
minutes, please support
like, can I ask you? When did
you know that the vaccines
didn't stop transmission? How
long? Did you know that without
saying it publicly? That
question. I mean, we now know
that the vaccines didn't stop
transmission. But why did you
keep it secret? You said it was
100% effective, then 90% and
80%, then 70%. But we now know
that the vaccines do not trans
sub transmission. Why did you
keep that secret? Don't have a
nice day. I know the answer. Why
did you keep it a secret that
your vaccine did not stop
transmission.
It's time to apologize to the
world, sir, to give refunds back
to the countries that poured all
their money into your vaccine
that doesn't work.
This is almost like a stuttering
John bit. You know, go ask all
these horrible questions and the
guy. You won't say anything, but
they just keep hounding.
I like I'm sorry. I don't know
if he had to keep playing it.
But I liked the idea of double
teaming the guy. Yeah, we have
two guys with a mic and one
guy's asking these one kind of
question. And other guy asked
another kind of question, even
though it's the same news
organization. It's pretty funny.
I've never, I've never seen that
before. It's a pretty good idea.
I'm gonna play a few more
seconds. And then there's an
also another great Gambit, which
I discovered
something that you notice shamed
of what you've done in the last
couple of years, Germany,
apologies
to the public, sir.
Are you proud of it? You've made
millions on the backs of
people's tire livelihoods? How
does that feel to walk the
streets as a millionaire? on the
backs of the regular person at
home in Australia, in England
and Canada?
What do you think about on your
yachts? What do you think about
on your private jet?
So that's one way of doing it
another way which is really,
really smart. is you get a
Japanese girl and you get heard
ask the horrible questions this
time. She's hounding Schwab. Now
I don't know Matt, if Schwab
truly is the evil genius at the
top of the pyramid, and all the
I'm gonna play this whole clip,
it's about a minute 15 And all
you have is a PR lady and a
driver pins, then you're really
ignorant, or you're just not
that important. But this is a
good way to do it, because she
gets his attention. But she
screws up at a certain point by
saying she's an independent
journalist. Otherwise she would
have gotten him to talk
I'm from I'm from Japan. And I
asked you know, we're on our way
to the next thing. We're a bit
late so I think we're gonna
we're gonna rush actually, but
thank you. Thanks very much.
Media us. I am an independent
journalist.
I love that. I'm independent.
Oh, yeah. No, thank you.
Thanks. Thanks, you. Try again
I can just smoke a word, a big
rush. We've got so many things
tonight. Thank you.
I mean, she she could have been
wielding a weapon anything. The
guy's completely unprotected.
And it was a good way to get him
to talk. But she messed up. She
does it out. Yes. I'm with
Tokyo. leading independent news
for anyone said anything.
Anything other than I'm
independent. I don't talk to
you.
Thank you. Thank you very much.
Thanks. By the way. I did a
little work on the World Bank.
Yeah. Which fine. I think I know
what the what the key is. Okay.
Okay. The head of it is David
Malpass, who was a
Undersecretary of Treasury for
under Trump, Assistant treasury
secretary under Reagan. worked
under George HW Bush. He's a
Republican. That's the guy
heading the World Bank is a
Republican and we can't have
that. Oh,
this isn't this isn't outrage.
No, we can't have that at all.
All right. Last climate change
clip that I have just To kind of
accentuate it
a woman and a young boy have
been killed in a polar bear
attack and Alaska. It happened
in the village of whales in the
northwestern part of the state.
Police say the polar bear chased
multiple residents before being
shot. Experts say decreasing ice
is making polar bear encounters
more common.
So first there were no polar
bears. Now because it's melting
not only do we not have polar
bears, but now they're attacking
people
as you're more calm and
unbelievable. I love it. I love
it. I love it. I love it. So
much fun everybody
okay
I have one thing from Davos
which is you and at Davos I
picked it up off NHK
second, you got to open your
phone. Oh, I'm sorry. I have to
refresh.
NASA time to take a shower.
What can I tell you? What's it
called again? You in US salvos
Okay, got UN Secretary General
Antonio Guterres is in Davos
Switzerland at the World
Economic Forum. He's been
highlighting the divisions
between developed countries and
emerging nations. The theme of
this year's meeting is
cooperation in a fragmented
world,
we face the gravest levels of
geopolitical division and
mistrust in generations. And it
is undermining
good terrorists said he remains
unconvinced wealthier nations
and leaders truly grasps the
frustration and anger in the so
called Global South. He also
said political and business
leaders need to work together
and called for, quote, private
sector resourcefulness and
cooperation, to be able to
advance in our common objectives
of peace, sustainable
development, and human rights,
unquote
money, give us money. It's all
about the money all about the
money. There was something else
going on at the same time as
Davos, which I was unaware of
when someone alerted me to it.
Another global Global
Initiative, a global streaming
webcast with all kinds of
luminaries, this is also
obviously a climate change
thing, but not just about the
climate change. But what we need
to do when we can't eat beef
anymore. Because this clearly
killing the Earth. This is just
the opening with this multi
CultI lady who opened up this
whole I mean, it was a big thing
that really big people speaking
on it and link in the show notes
if you want to see it was the
name of it. She says it right
here. Good morning,
good afternoon, and good evening
to wherever you are in the
world. I'm Natalie, Becca
Markovic, and I'll be hosting
this global dialogue. I'm a co
founder of thought leader global
and we destroy telling around
people in organizations having a
positive impact. And through our
work. I'm an advocate for
community health. And that
starts with ensuring that
everyone has access to
nourishing food. I'm thrilled
and excited and happy and
inspired to be part of today's
event. Now on behalf of our CO
hosts eat and the Rockefeller
Foundation, I'd like to join and
welcome each and every one of
you and thank you for joining us
to reimagine food systems.
COVID-19 our program today was a
hard look at where we are what
we're up against. We will look
at the street level perspectives
on COVID damage to the food
system. From there we will
explore clear plans and actions
to back a more nutritious,
sustainable, equitable and
resilient food system for the
wild post COVID-19. And they
will also be food will be
okay good one.
The reimagining food system
shaggy dog story I was because
COVID ruin that all COVID co
yeah, there's no food anymore.
Tina and I went to KFC cattle
yesterday to pick up a new a new
Booth was about a third of a
cow.
Yeah, there was quarters in
quarters here.
It's a third No, it's a third.
They sell a third nobody does
that.
Both. Okay Kara? Yes, they do
sell that to me because they
love me. But the main point of
the story was that everyone is
is asking coal from KMC Are you
going to put two mRNA vaccines
into your cattle? This is like
the big question. They are well
of course they're not so
we're going to be eating mRNA
vaccines now with the meat that
is grifter? I'm not that place
is going to do anything like
that. No, of
course not. But not just the
into the animals but into
vegetables, all kinds of stuff.
They want to
push the ball. Yes. Vegetables
don't need a vaccine.
No, but it's to put the vaccine
into us. That's the Oh to get
the
vaccine into us.
Yeah, that's yeah, that's the
idea,
talking about trying to kill us.
So I have Somebody said,
somebody said that's my segue. I
love it. But go ahead. Oh,
somebody sent me a three pack of
the Kraft macaroni and cheese.
Oh good. gummies
Oh, the one that tastes like
macaroni and cheese.
Well, that's the joke. That
looks like a little Macaroni
Cheese colored. It tastes
nothing like macaroni orange.
Oh, it's actually pretty good.
Be honest about it for a gummy.
it's us versus everyone gets
grossed out. Oh, and then you
have it you go. And you eat.
This doesn't it's got a citrus
notes. No. It's like a fine
wine. Kind of a citrus notes
with a little maybe some some
milk good tones. It's it's
actually quite tasty. It's a
It's not bad. I mean, it's a gut
funny looking box, and it gets a
gimmick, obviously. But the
gummies themselves are edible. I
am like gummies
I'm a little disappointed
because we got pictures of those
for the longest time people say
oh, look at this at the end of
it. That's mac and cheese
flavored. gummies is what I
thought but it's not crap. Oh,
man.
No one's gonna eat those. They
actually have some you can
actually you can choke it down.
It's not like macaroni and
cheese flavored. gummies Oh,
man, I'm so disappointed to give
a report on that. Yes, very
good. That person who sent me
those mac and cheese? I don't
know who said it because it came
on Amazon. They went through
Amazon is supposed to be a gift.
I never know note in there. I
don't know. Well, that's very
kind.
That's very kanji gotta there
were two other kinds of
interesting things that I picked
up from Davos. One is the Saudi
finance minister or I should say
finance minister. And he did an
interview with Bloomberg. And it
was mainly about China. And we
know because they're, they're
getting close to China,
apparently. And the big question
that we've kind of had is what
is the deal with the Riyadh Is
it the Riyadh are the real we
don't have real realistically,
Riyadh
no real Riyadh.
Riyadh is the village Rio is the
money and it seems like that's
been unplugged from the dollar.
And that was just kind of a
warning sign. But the whole idea
behind the petro dollar is we
went to Saudi Arabia in the 70s
and said, You guys, you and your
camels here you can be kings and
shakes and whatever you want to
be will make you rich beyond
your wildest dreams as long as
you keep selling your oil in US
dollars so that the American
dollar is the reserve currency
of the world. Do I have that
correct?
I'm not sure if you have it
correct, but it's kind of what
happened Okay, enough was in the
70s I don't know that. It the
reserve currency is more than
just a petro dollar
correct.
But that what but it was
important it was important in
anyone who would but I know for
a fact and you've noticed anyone
who bucks this system gets
killed,
right Gadhafi Saddam Hussein,
they wanted to sell their oil in
the gold dinar or possibly euros
anyone er
get out of town. So listen to
this,
was there a discussion
around paying for oil in yuan
fit or kill on this rumor?
things? One is we enjoy a very
strategic relationship with
China and we enjoy that same
strategic relationship with
other nations including the US
and we wanted to develop that
with Europe and other countries
who are willing and able to work
with us to advance the public
goods in the woods. I think with
regard to China, they are the
largest trading partner with
Saudi Arabia. I think there are
no issues with discussing how we
set up our our trade
arrangements whether it is the
US dollar with zero with our
sister saudi riyal or there
is no discussion on that.
I don't think we are waving away
or rolling out any discussion
that will help improve the trade
around the world.
Sounds to me like you said,
Yeah, whatever. You got your
euros
he's maybe he's saying he's
beating around the bush which is
what he was doing. Seems to
me he said we no issue as long
as an impedance match. Right?
It is possible that when he's
when he's not being specific, I
think he may be saying well, we
don't have any issue but what we
don't
want to get killed. We don't do
it on the Qt people like Don't
say so loud, man. Just okay,
I'll take that.
I'll take we'll see.
And then just another one just
because it can lead me into an
interesting statistic about
Congress. JPMorgan Chase
Chairman Jamie Dimon onset with
CNBC. It used to be we covered
Davos almost every year since we
started the show, I think. And
the main source of clips was
really only CNBC. Because no one
else would really care. It was
it was a bit like just no one
cared. It was the elite show
that that have helicopter shots.
Well, we can see down there
Davos important people are doing
meetings this week, and now
we've got people hounding
borlodan Schwab on the streets,
so it's a little different, but
all you could always better,
much better. could always count
on CNBC to have their full panel
with a snowy mountain set
outside, they're all dressed up
in their coats, and they always
have Jamie Dimon on and this
year they had an on once again
and he just he just goes nuts
over Bitcoin for some reason.
You mentioned Bitcoin you said
you didn't know what we were
talking about. We pretty much
always have some crypto
conversation with you I'm just
curious because I don't think
we've talked to you since I
think all
that's been a waste of time and
why you guys waste any breath
and it's totally beyond me
because you just think the whole
thing just is zero gonna zero
and is fake. Bitcoin
itself is is hyped up fraud to
pet rock back rock.
So what do you make then of a
black rock and other firms that
are investing in infrastructure
that's different. Blockchain is
a is a technology ledger system
that we use to move information.
We've used it to do overnight
repo, intraday repo, we've used
it to, we're going to use it,
we've used it to move money,
right? So that is a ledger.
That's a technology ledger type
of thing that we think will be
deployable. Remember we remember
we've been talking about that
for 12 years too and very little
has been done so tokens
and I agree with you, but but
Bitcoin face on a distributed
ledger? All the characteristics
of a store of value. It's
immutable. It's scarce. It
totally untrue. It's
21 million for Yeah, really?
How do you know it's gonna stop
at 21 million because it's
mentioned the Toshiba everyone
says that well, maybe it's gonna
get to 21 million and Satoshis
pictures gonna come up and laugh
at you. There isn't. By then
Satoshi have taken out the
doors. I love
that. Satoshi said all about
I don't know. Well, I think what
he's saying is
once you know but why is Sorkin
insisting on on hounding him
about it? And what is the point
of the discussion in so far as
Davos
I believe the idea was to
promote the stable coin USDC
which Blackrock is as we know
from the last show was in
heavily invested in and he said,
we move money over intraday
repos we do on blockchain
really. Now, that means that
they're passing money around
which is backed on the money in
the first place. I don't know it
just to me it felt like there's
some message there. Obviously
Bitcoin bad because when we hit
21 million, which will be in
about 150 years, when we hit
when we hit 21 million, Satoshi
is going to pop up and go ha ha,
and he'll exited by then from
the grave. And then all this
other stuff is going to be super
good. But there's crypto in the
air. The big, big arrest, big
arrest.
Checking the top stories a
Russian national has been
arrested in Miami accused of
using his cryptocurrency
exchange to launder more than
$700 million in illicit funds.
The Justice Department says the
company was also an online
marketplace for drugs and stolen
financial information.
Yeah, crypto bad crypto bad
business. But here's a very
short just a headline from coin
desk and this is perhaps
interesting in this regard.
You analysis from coin desk
reveals 196 lawmakers to cash
from sandbank been fried or
other executives at FTX
that's almost a third of
Congress was on the take from
this kid a third across the
board. Did you hear about this?
No but that doesn't surprise me
no but but this is this is going
to be used against people and I
would hope so and McCarthy got a
couple million Chuck Schumer got
a couple million all the new
Republicans who are now on the
the agriculture board which I
think oversees commodities not
so I think if you look at some
some of these Bitcoin that is
considered a commodity so
they're looking for regular yes
it is by the by the SEC I think
they ruled it and the the other
guys the I forget all the
regulators yet everything is a
security except Bitcoin that's a
commodity. That's what they say.
So you know, to oversee that, I
don't know. It feels
like you put out a list of the
people they got money from this
guy. Coin desk. How Is it it's
quite list and actual list that
you can publish. Okay. Yeah.
Yeah, I'll
say it in the show notes. It's
worth it's worth taking a look
at. It's, it's a little more
Democrats and Republicans, but
it's a lot of money. And you
know, half of these people say,
Well, you know, I donated it to
a good cause.
What the hell is that? Sure. Did
you my wife? Did you
set it aside? Oh, it's always
their favorites, their favorite
nonprofit? Yeah, run by their
wife. I think that money belongs
to the shareholders or the
depositors who got screwed.
And I think it does. I'm telling
you, John will never get it out
of them. No,
no, but they won't. But this
thing is deep that this there's
a lot going on with this FTX
thing. They brought that Enron
guy and he covered up stuff. We
still don't know who put up the
bail for Sam bank been freed.
It's got to be one of those.
Maybe it's maybe it's
blood. My understanding is that
he never put a bail. It was a
promissory note.
Yes. From two from two people.
He has parents. Well, it was
covered. It was redacted. His
parents do not have $25 million.
No debt,
but it was a probably you don't
have to have $25 million to put
up a promissory note. I could do
it. I am going to give you $25
million. sign my name and we
have to show the assets don't
you? I don't know that if the
judge doesn't demand it.
Of course. Well, the judge
probably also got some coin who
knows? Course everybody got
coin. Oh, no, it's weird. It's
very weird, man.
Like Dick Cheney today. Oh, you.
Hey,
anyway, good luck. COVID. All
right. Good news. birth rate is
down. death rate is up. Good
work. Everybody.
Has their China stuff. Okay, got
the first US do COVID vs. Ron
DeSantis. This is good stuff.
Okay.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
announced a new plan yesterday.
It will make protections against
course of biomedical policies,
permanent entities and Daniel
Monahan has more.
V in the Free State of Florida
did not happen by accident.
The legislation will prohibit
COVID vaccination passports and
any COVID Mask requirements. It
will also bar all discrimination
based on vaccination or booster
status, including for schools,
you still have universities that
are forcing these students to
get these booster shots even
though
oh, let me back it up a little
bit. I've been trying to I've
been listening to DeSantis in a
kind of in anticipation of
comics doing his voice. Yeah.
Now when you listen to him here,
tell him he doesn't sound just
like Glenn Greenwald.
It will also bar all
discrimination based on
vaccination or booster status,
including for schools,
you still have universities. Oh,
right. Their universities.
He sounds a little gay.
Actually.
It totally ha You still
have universities that are
forcing these students?
This is exactly Greenwald. Oh,
is this a mill you issue a nail
that you did to
get these booster shots, even
though there have been studies
showing they're at more risk
from negative effects of the
shot than they are from COVID
itself at that age. And so the
governor
discussed the past battles
Florida, you
really did nail that. You almost
expected me to say back to you,
Tucker. I mean, it's incredible.
Thanks, Tucker. Thanks,
Tucker from negative effects of
the shot than they are from
COVID itself at that age. And so
the governor discussed
the past battles Florida had to
wage to preserve such freedoms,
saying it required standing up
to major institutions in the
society, the medical
establishment, what he called
the legacy media and even the
President of the United States,
who together we're working to
impose a biomedical security
stayed on society. They sought
to marginalize people who
declined COVID jabs by using
things like vaccine passports,
they sought to prevent people
from being able to
earn what happened there and
just go nuts in the in the in
the crabs
by using things like vaccine
passports. They sought to
prevent people from being able
to earn a living if they
declined the jab through the
Biden employer mandate. He added
that Florida intends to protect
the right of medical
practitioners to be able to
speak the truth
and they sought to silence
medical practitioners who follow
the evidence and back the
science over The narrative. This
is
really quite something that
we're hearing here besides the
fact that He sounds just like
Glenn Greenwald. Trump I think I
don't have a clip he came out
and he combated this and said,
Well, you know, I did the
vaccines. We did it. I'm
paraphrasing super warp speed.
We got it all done, save
probably 100 million people
worldwide. But I didn't mandate
it. Which he didn't. He let that
happen. But it seems so
counterintuitive. DeSantis is
truly doing a Trumpian speech
here. And Trump himself keeps
defending
it made Trump's nose painting
himself into a corner here.
Yeah, and DeSanto senses it and
he's going in for the kill.
He's not the Santos is DeSantis
Weiss is ever Yeah. I still
think Trump may mean but he may
be saying is if I hadn't fast
track these vaccines, y'all
would still be in lockdown.
That's possible. But it's
told us that would be good.
It's time to give that up.
He's got to bail. It's really
it's really longer he drags it
on the worst is going to be
and people are migrating towards
de Santos de Santos de Santos
from now on. Glenn de Santos
by the way that that the way he
pronounces certain words like
impose and some of these other
words that are in his in his
Glenn Greenwald like pattern is
very similar. I pointed this out
before to the pronunciation
profile of Rand Paul. Yes. Has
this kind of drags out certain
kinds of words. Well, where's
like, where's
the Santos from? Where was he
born?
Well, let's we had to look this
up to figure it out because
there is a million possibility
here.
Now he is a Yalie. He's a Delta
Kappa Early life Born in
Jacksonville, he's from Florida.
He's from Florida. How about
that couldn't
be part of a Florida accent.
Well is Glenn Greenwald from
Florida? No, but
the Brazilians in Florida are
very tight.
Again, something she would say.
Glenn Greenwald is born. Let's
see where was he born? New York
City that he ever live in
Florida.
Know that he did but he I don't
know where you did. Again. It
might be Miller you have more
than state but I know there's a
peculiar number of
waters out inspired by his
grandfather's time on the then
Lauderdale Lake City Council.
Yes, he attended Nova Middle
School and Nova High School in
Davie, Florida. Wow, what a
catch John. They may have been
lovers. For all we know,
well, the Floridian accent it
just I found this because I just
a number of words that annoy me
when people say it. And one of
them is feud. When the same
thing food. They see us food
is that anything like okay food,
you don't like food?
And so I've tracked that down to
North Carolina. Hmm. That's a
North Carolina accent when
people say that and there's a
number of other FM affectations
from North Carolina and I picked
this finally got a good clue on
this from a show. A PBS cooking
show called the farmer and the
and the cook or something. It
was this woman and her did this
special for about two seasons
and they got divorced because he
couldn't take it any more great
words over him great show. It
was and so she's still on the
air. And she's got this really
strong North Carolina accent
which includes all the screwball
pronunciations, which are all
annoying. And, and so Florida, I
think has similar accents. And
because I'm hearing that North
Korean North Carolina accents,
too. So it's some southern
thing, but exactly why Rand Paul
has it from Kentucky, but I
don't know if he was. I mean,
was Dad was from Texas, I think
or I'm not sure what that talks
nothing like that. No. So I
don't know. It's interesting to
me. But
yeah, I mean, yeah, I think
we've worn it out.
So let's do part two of the same
clip
DeSantis was joined by Florida
Surgeon General Joseph ladipo.
Is all of
these crazy ideas, whether it's
whether it's the lock downs or
the or the mask mandates for the
vaccine mandates or the you
can't have your your you can't
cook with gas, you can't use
fire, whatever it is, right.
It's all
these crazy ideas. And then he's
a little different here. It's a
little different. It's not it's
not same accent I'm not quite
sure why some
species like Trump. Yeah, yeah,
he speaks from a prompter. He
has one sound Yeah. And then
when he speaks off off the cuff
he has another sound yes God
whose fire
whatever it
is right right all these crazy
ideas and then Governor DeSantis
gets to say no that doesn't make
sense
some other guy No wonder he
shops different
gratitude that there is a lot of
consensus around the new
legislation to quote codify more
common sense in Florida.
There's just a lot of there's a
lot to see out there and having
a, a place of just Common Sense
and Sensibility.
I again the Florida is a
different guy, but he's got that
Florida accent. It's refreshing
to a lot
of people be compared
that to California and Assembly
Bill 2098. Governor Gavin Newsom
signed that legislation which
punishes the dissemination of so
called misinformation related to
COVID-19. That means medical
practitioners could lose their
licenses for opinions not in
line with the current medical
establishment.
Yeah. Now that is the bill that
will debt is going unless Newsom
does something about it pretty
soon they don't that's going to
ruin his career. He will tank
him Yep, that'll This is the
notion I call it you know,
they'd like to rename bills.
Yeah. I like term this bill, the
no second opinion bill. You can
not get a second opinion on
anything that violates the
government edict. So you go to a
doctor and he says, yeah, he's
you get the shot. Love to get a
second opinion. Sorry. You can't
get a second opinion.
Now can new. Is this past or can
he still veto this bill? He
signed it. He signed it. So he
recently signed it is the
dumbest thing he's ever done. He
could have had a million phony
baloney excuses for not signing
it. But he's signed it like an
idiot. He this is probably I
don't know why I haven't written
an essay on this. But I should,
because I gotta get this down.
He is. This is a huge mistake a
blunder as the highest order.
As a side note. Pfizer just gave
a million dollars to the
Republican Party of Kentucky to
expand its headquarters just to
just to bring all that in. The
unit party doesn't care about
you people doesn't don't care
about you. Don't care about you.
Now we go to China, and I want
to play these COVID clips about
China because there's a tidbit
in here. I didn't know. Maybe we
knew it, but I don't remember
it. I do remember a couple of
things, though you do it. Well,
actually. Let's play this first.
And then we'll talk about a
couple of things is COVID in
China, weird stat. So continuing
with the COVID crisis in China,
what exactly is going on?
official government COVID
numbers and death tolls are
generally dismissed. So how is a
true picture of the situation
established? And today's Tiffany
Meier reports,
it's unclear how much of a toll
the COVID-19 pandemic has on
China's population. That's due
to what many call a lack of
transparency on data coming out
of China. But some unusual
numbers have brought the true
scale of the pandemics death
toll under suspicion. One
example came in 2020, when
China's biggest cellphone
carriers reported losing 21
million subscriptions. That's
just the first two months of
that year when the pandemic
first hit China. In contrast,
users increased during the same
period of time and 2017 2018 and
2019. The sharp decline over the
span of two months is unusual,
as Chinese citizens use their
phones for pretty much
everything from cashless
payments to settling rent and
transportation costs. Some users
do have multiple cell phone
accounts, but it's shy of
explaining the 21 million
number. The current around in
China is also considered heavily
underreported. Over the weekend,
a resident in China disclosed on
social media that all four of
his grandparents as well as his
mother and father had all passed
away. Being an only child, he
explained, he's now alone.
Looking at another clip. Last
week, a Shanghai resident took
video of caskets lining the city
streets and stretching for
several miles.
Yeah, I get such conflicting
reports from everybody.
I know you get the reports, but
the 21 million is a big deal.
Yeah. Because there's no
evidence that the numbers ever
decreased by one, let alone 21
million for that cell phone
carrier.
We've had we had this report,
like a year ago, I think or
something similar to it, and
they were counting the cell
phones.
Yeah. And if you remember during
the early outbreak of the
disease when the China's was
They were shutting down a lot.
There was this rumor that that
the virus was genetically
targeting Han Chinese remember
that? Yes, yes. Yes, I do. And
with that rumor combined with
these cellphone subscribers
bailing out 21 million of them,
and also rumors of the certain
Yeah, we get conflicting reports
because we have people over
there. Yes. And now we have this
guy shows I can't really
Photoshop I guess you could. But
you started to Photoshop movies.
Unless you have lots of time on
your hands. A mile long, or
miles long cast gay are listed
the piles of coffins. Hey, hold
on.
Hold on. Hold on a second. I
knew it. I prayed is phenomenal.
Episode 1228. So when was that
1228 was
no shows ago? Yeah, that's about
so it's ready to show to go and
be? Yeah,
here it is. 21 million fewer
cell phone users in China may
suggest a high CCP virus death
toll. This not and that's from
Epic times. So at March 22 2020,
what's going on here? So this is
the same statistic
from the same period. That's
what this report is to
Oh, okay. Okay. I'm sorry. All
right. So then we knew this.
Yeah, we knew this. But it's
been brought up again.
By NTD, who of course, are
filling well, who are epic
times? Yeah, exactly.
All right. So we, you know,
again, is there maybe it's true,
maybe it's not? Do we know that
number 21 million is accurate?
Yeah. She pops up.
Yeah, so she pops up as funny.
Good coincidence? I think not.
Let's play a clip to part part
two of this.
In China. Some doctors are
saying they've been instructed
on how to certify COVID-19
deaths. It meant what some
experts are calling a peak of
Beijing's COVID-19 Wave
hospitals are posting out a
notice. Citing a directive from
China's National Health
Commission. The Post says
doctors should try not to list
COVID-19 on death certificates.
Instead, they must report
related cases to their superiors
for inspection by authorities.
That's before they can decide on
what cause of death to confirm
on the certificates. Several
doctors and other Chinese
hospitals said they received
similar instructions, either
verbally or via hospital policy
announcements. A doctor from
Shanghai shared an article
online earlier this month. In it
he said he was asked to change
the cause of death on a
certificate from COVID-19 to
something else. He explained he
didn't want to alter it in front
of the patient's family and
started questioning the official
directive on coming it deaths.
And over in California, a now US
resident from China says he's
endured the death of multiple
family members. All of them died
during the current virus surge
in Beijing. He said his
grandmother and uncle in law had
tested positive for COVID-19
before they died, while his
father, father in law and uncle
died of heart disease, asthma
and lung infection. None of them
were entered into China's
official COVID-19 death count.
It was you know, when Horowitz
texted me yesterday. That was
interesting because I was just
listening to the DHS plug a
show. And he texted me said I
got COVID Again, like wow, this
is this is crazy, man. So we're
just going back and forth. And
he says you know a guy I met who
cuz he tested because he was
going to go to a wedding this
weekend. Everyone's worried
about spreading so that's why he
tested and so of course not
gonna go to the wedding. But he
said a buddy of his who I think
is in vaccine manufacturing.
They're all blaming this on
China and letting everybody out.
It's all China's fault now. It's
not it's not because of people
being over boosted and creating
variants and that keeps spinning
around the globe. No, it's
shining because of China.
Yeah. And as we know, a Fort
Lauderdale, Florida is crawling
with Chinese nationals.
I know they're a plague. And the
last dose Greenway Yeah, that
makes sense that you would do
that. Yeah. So
that's probably where a lot of
this propaganda is headed is to
blame China for a failed
product. Whatever you do, I have
a supercut whatever you do, do
not go on Twitter to find
information about COVID Have you
heard this warning
this the same? Clip I said no.
Back to a guy We played this
clip. I don't remember this. I
do because I am the one who
produced it and had it on the
show. Let me say
so I got duped here. Let me say,
super cut.
I don't know how well the title.
I mean, it's worth listening to
again, I don't have a problem
listening to Supercuts over and
over. Let's
see. Let me see if this is the
same one hold on a second,
you'll want to be even more
cautious when reading about
COVID. On Twitter, be extra
cautious when you're looking for
information in the Twitter
company drops its COVID
misinformation policy witters
Trump, sorry. All right, well,
we'll play it out since it's
fun. I thought it was new. So
fun clip is a new, the new
version that you have. It's the
same version if it's
COVID-19 misinformation policy.

I got two stories from Twitter
that I want to discuss. One is
the FDA apparently will no
longer require animal testing to
be done before human trials for
any type of drug that comes from
Science Magazine.
That's not good. No, it
depends if you're if you're an
animal, I guess it's good. But
yeah, it's good for the animals.
Well, that's probably who forced
this. And the new COVID variant
is yet another one a new one.
It's orthros us, o r th R Us or
thrusts forth now
there's just screw this. Why?
Jamaica mocking us we had coming
up with crikey crackpot name.
What
is an array? What is orcish?
Isn't a Greek mythology or
through size? It's the two
headed dog of Greek and Greek
mythology. It's a two headed
dog. So it is Greek mythology.
They went from the Kraken from
Kraken two or three second door?
Yeah, well, they had to get rid
of Kraken. That was a problem.
Well, I've got two Twitter
clips. Okay. I got to Twitter
files, the new the new FBI
timeline, which is now you know,
there's by the way, a lot of
these stuff I noticed today, and
this is a good example. And the
example of the 21 million clip.
This is all to do agenda show
has covered this two years ago.
Yeah, we are so ahead of
everybody else that does stuff
comes you know, kind of snaps
back and you know, oh no. Okay.
Well, we already knew that. But
that's here. That's here. The
newest version of it. This is
the which Twitter, which does
make it kind of difficult
because sometimes everyone's
like, Oh, have you heard this?
And I'm just I'm kind of bored
because we did that already. And
I
feel years ago sometime.
I don't know if it's good or bad
that we sometimes don't reach
back. Because people just seem
to forget stuff from three
months ago even when
they forget stuff from two weeks
ago. Let's go a Twitter fails.
New FBI timeline.
One of the journalists involved
in releasing the so called
Twitter files is sharing what he
learned about the FBI. He wrote
an op ed detailing his findings.
journalist Michael Shellenberger
is one of a few who worked with
Elon Musk in releasing the so
called Twitter files file stay
Fox News released showing
Berger's op ed titled Elon Musk
chose us to report on the
Twitter files. Here are the
disturbing things I learned
about the FBI Shellenberger says
he discovered that the FBI and
intelligence community
discredited factual information
about 100 Biden's foreign
business dealings both after and
before the New York Post reveal
them to the world in October
2020. He says in December of
2019, the FBI issued a subpoena
for Hunter Biden's laptop and
then picked it up at a repair
shop in Delaware. In December,
Shellenberger tweeted that it
would have only taken a few
hours for the FBI to confirm
that the laptop belonged to
Hunter Biden saying it only took
a few days for a journalist.
According to Shellenberger, the
FBI did nothing to investigate
the many signs of criminal
activity revealed by emails and
other documents on the laptop.
Months later, Rudy Giuliani
received a copy of the laptop
and brought it to the New York
Post. Then in October, Hunter
Biden and his lawyer learned
that the New York Post was
planning to run the laptop story
on that same day, just two hours
later, the FBI reportedly sent
10 documents to Twitter's then
head of site integrity. If
you're off when the post to
publish the article in the next
day, it was censored by Twitter
and other social media companies
almost straight away. The FBI
reportedly kept warning Twitter
and Facebook of Russian hacking
leak campaigns. Shellenberger
writes that an FBI agent
admitted those warnings weren't
based on any new findings
through our investigations. We
did not see any similar
competing intrusions to what had
happened in 2016.
Okay, this kind of jumbles the
timeline as we know it, because
it goes to pre you know, pre New
York Post and they also
know it's all the way back to
Obama. That's why the timeline
has to be all secretive and
shit.
I guess. Yeah. Okay, that's a
part two of that.
Shellenberger also writes that a
big number of former agents
started to work for Twitter. As
of 2020, there were so many
former FBI employees BU alumni
working at Twitter that they had
created their own private Slack
channel and a crib sheet to
onboard new FBI arrivals. After
the Twitter files came out.
Representative Jim Jordan said
he was concerned about the
government running a
misinformation operation on
Americans entity reached out to
the FBI for comment on
Shellenberger op ed, but did not
hear back before broadcast.
Oh boy,
I liked the fact they had their
own Slack channel.
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so I can I
can communicate all the time
just quickie or Thrace. I'm
sorry to go back to this was a
monster in Greek mythology. A
dog with two heads and brother
of Cerberus the three headed
dog. That
girl does come in next to the
god of the underworld.
Well, then we also have typhus
and Shin mechana at s should I
should not Yeah,
that won't happen because you
can't pronounce it. No, I
think yeah, I think Surber
should be next. I agree. Hmm.
They are just messing with us. I
agree. They're messing with us.
And messing with us. It wasn't
funny though. It's cute. three
headed dog. It's cute. I'd say
it's cute. Not a dog. So we had
the key of chopper crash. Yeah.
Ukraine before we go into the
break.
Do you want to do you know
looking at the donations again,
you don't want to do just
one donation direct one on one
big long donation. It's not even
going to be one big long one.
But I know it's less than 50
people total who donate to this
show on my mailing list of
30,000 and viewership or
listenership of 850,000. So
that's you know, is this a I
blame the news? The news is
boring.
What how does that affect us?
Here's the only good well it
because I haven't given them
money for this boring.
I have a quick I have a quickie
ABC 14 second teaser to get us
into it.
We have breaking news from you
going back home. It's
14 seconds to live and we have
breaking news. Ukraine. There's
word that Ukraine's interior
minister has been killed in a
helicopter crash near the
capital of Kyiv. At least 16
people were killed including two
children. There was no immediate
word on the cause of the crash.
But we'll bring you more details
as we get them
now. I'm sure that didn't mess
up here. Oh, you won't. It's a
lie. Okay,
my key key chopper crashes.
Have they captured you?
It's one point yes. 1.11. Has a
little more detail.
At least 16 people were killed
in a helicopter crash just
outside Kev on Wednesday,
including Ukraine's interior
minister. It came down between
this kindergarten in the eastern
suburb of bravery and a
residential block. Three
children were among the dead
President Volodymyr Zelensky
said calling the crash a
terrible tragedy. The pain is
unspeakable. He said in a
statement. Ukrainian officials
said the cause wasn't
immediately clear. They made no
reference to any Russian attack
in the area at the time. Not at
the moment. National Police
Chief eco commando confirmed
that interior minister Denise
monastero ski was killed
alongside his first deputy have
Henny here Nene and other
ministry officials on board.
monastero ski was the most
senior Ukrainian official to die
since the war began. The French
made super Puma helicopter was
operated by the State Emergency
Service. At least six people
were killed on the ground
official said including the
children. According to the
Regional Governor at least 29
were injured 15 of them children
Air Force spokesperson Yuri if
not said it could take several
weeks at least to investigate
the disaster.
Yeah, I love the we got a
producer who have you ever heard
from this producer before who
all sudden started to send us a
story Same as emails a day.
Yeah. Has he been around?
You know, dial recall him? I'd
have to look at my history.
Yeah, I
didn't recall him either. And,
and he had this whole breakdown.
And you know, it was clearly
Russia. And you actually thanked
him on email said, Hey, thanks
for the briefing, which I
thought was funny. Thanks for
the briefing.
It was a briefing your new guy
and
it seems there may have been a
device planted on the
helicopter. Yeah,
it was there's no evidence of
this yet. And I heard that it
was so foggy Dan, that you can
barely see it in front of your
face.
That's always very dangerous
with helicopters. See, I'd
say
but I heard that that the rotor
had separated from the from the
aircraft itself that no evidence
of what I saw on the crash from
crash pictures. It seems like it
was intact, so I don't know. But
in general, you get these these
French helicopters, which are
fine. You know, Eurocopter also
the fine helicopters and the
super Puma. But if maintenance
is everything, you need
maintenance for these things. I
won't even get on a helicopter I
won't even fly myself or and
with anyone else if if I don't
know who's been maintaining it.
They're not they're not really
great machines. You know, if the
super Puma man, it's a big it's
a big helicopter. So I don't
think we're well, you're right.
I don't think we'll ever learn.
But of course, it is being used
immediately for fundraising for
Ukraine.
Of course, why not?
And we have the Dutch Prime
Minister was in Washington DC.
Margarita, of course, no one
cares about him. And in fact,
when he sat down with with the
President, all the press were
just yelling about the dot the
documents that the in his
Corvette. And yeah, Margarita is
is seen as a total goofball,
Dumbo, just waiting his turn
until you get to go to get some
cushy job in Brussels. And so of
course, he he's a ward Hall.
Yeah, we're totally going to
participate. We're going to help
you out. We're going to help you
out there, Ukraine. You bet.
On Tuesday, the Netherlands
announced that they will join
the United States and Germany in
helping to equip Ukraine with a
defense system. According to
Dutch Prime Minister Mark
Rutter, this would not be a
complete Patriot system, but
rather equipment to supplement
American and German aid.
Volodymyr Zelensky, for his
parts, is trying to put pressure
on the Dutch Prime Minister by
announcing the sending of a full
battery, or
Ukraine will receive another
Patriot battery, thanks to our
Dutch friends, we already have
three guaranteed batteries. But
this is only the beginning. We
are working on new solutions to
strengthen our air defense. And
that's the purple. The
announcement was made just a few
days after the Russian strike on
the city of nipro. One of the
deadliest since the beginning of
the war.
So this is not a full battery.
This is only some supplemental
stuff. And you can hear that as
a Lenski immediately pressuring,
by the way the from what I
understand that attack on the
you know, the bombing of the
apartment building. Apparently,
there was Ukrainians who tried
to shoot this missile down and
diverted it into
that building. Yeah, that
wouldn't surprise me.
Now, of course, that may be
Russian propaganda.
You never know. It could all be
we don't know. That's the
problem. It could all be a movie
set for all. And the other thing
is, you know, we have to we keep
forgetting the size of Ukraine.
Oh, my goodness. Yes. It's a
monster country's huge. And what
you're going to have three
Patriot missile batteries. I
mean, they're didn't Patriot
missiles. You know, protecting
Israel, which is a dinky country
wasn't enough to really do that
much of anything. Mod admin can
maybe put put up a couple of
batteries around Tel Aviv, a
town a city in Israel, and that
would probably be the desired
dome idea. But the whole country
of Ukraine, these things aren't
going to be used for anything.
Maybe it'd be used once in a
while at some point to protect
somebody's farm, or some
particular installation. But
it's ludicrous. Yeah.
Margarita made zero impression
on the press or the President or
anybody, no one cares. But he
did.
He did go to the Atlantic. He's
well known on our show. He went
to the Atlantic
Council, and he had something to
say there, if we, if we would,
except for one moment that Putin
could be successful in Ukraine
that he would get pF and he
would get the whole country in
front end there. He will
continue history has taught us
his lesson. I'm not going to say
there. There are analogies
between him and his or her some
are saying but it is one
analogy. And then as she has
been Munich 38, when Chamberlain
came back and said, I bring you
peace in our time at Churchill
saying Britain had to choose
between war and his honor. But
it didn't chose this honor, it
will get worse. And for me, that
analogy is absolutely there. So
he's doing the Churchill thing,
as well as the Lensky. Just like
Churchill said, he approached it
from the reverse angle, saying,
well, Chamberlain said, and then
shortly, Churchill said, no.
Yeah, guys get some good people
that brief him. Not his ideas,
as for sure.
On the grand scale of things.
This is all about the military
industrial complex. The general
now in charge of the Ukrainian
fighting forces, says, hey, you
know, we're a great testing
ground for new weapons, send
them over boys.
And lift stating the obvious,
yes,
and it verbatim. And we're, you
know, we have some pretty good,
did anybody come up and say,
hey, that's what do you think
we're doing?
Yeah, and the idea is probably
that these Patriot missiles will
fail. It's not going to go to
work, right? Of course, they
have to go through six months of
training, they already the
Ukrainian soldiers have already
arrived in the United States, I
forget what base they're out
there getting their training. So
I don't know if so no one's
going to be operating them just
based in Oklahoma. Yes, it is.
You're right. So no one will be
operating them. But when they
do, they should fail
spectacularly so that we can yet
again, get some more money to
build better stuff that we can
kill people with who live in
sandy areas, mainly, but
which brings me to the to the
movie that people should go
watch this on YouTube. Actually,
the whole movie is called
Pentagon wars starring Kelsey
gras. Yeah, he plays a great a
whole, like Kelsey Grammer is
terrific in playing certain
acting roles. And there was
always a comedic element to it.
But to Pentagon Wars is a true
story of some Air Force.
Lieutenant Colonel, I guess I
think it was what his ranking
was, it got into the Pentagon.
And his job was to push through
no matter what, the Bradley
fighting vehicle right, which
began as in the test, the whole
story began as a as a troop
carrier. And it evolved into a
just a nightmarish kind of a
homer simpson designed car that
does too many things and didn't
work. And it was just junk. And
it's the movie itself, which is
Pentagon wars. I got 99 in the
show notes. 90 890-898-9898 is
terrific. And I'm sure it will
go according to of course,
according to the comments that I
read, it is still used as a
training film, at the Pentagon,
for people in
well, they must have paid they
must have paid for it then
because how else is it on
YouTube and its full glory from
1998. It must be paid for and
bought and paid for by someone,
someone, but it's used as a
training film, even host has
accomplished his nothing. And
you can see why when you watch
this movie. It is quite funny.
But it's about the Bradley
fighting vehicle, which was
always considered a white
elephant which we got to been
sent over as we sent him to get
rid of them.
Shouldn't we couldn't leave in
Afghanistan, send it to Ukraine
get rid of that stuff. Here's
the little report from TR T the
Turkish foreign minister came in
because we're doing a deal where
it's selling f6 teens to them.
Maybe Joe shoulder is in
Washington DC for crucial face
to face talks with his us
counterpart. As the State
Department kicked off the
congressional approval process
last week for the sale of F 16
fighter jets to Turkey. With an
informal notification sent to
Capitol Hill, a handful of
members of Congress publicly
aligned themselves with a Greek
position to block the sale
they've already promised to do.
So again, the Turkish Government
is calling on America to weigh
up the situation carefully.
You know, here's what we are
saying generally to the US the
balance in US relations with
Turkey and Greece has been off
or the US used to have a
balanced policy. The balance
between the Turkish and Greek
Cypriots has also unfortunately
been off and Ally like the US
should pay attention to the
balance within the
US President Joe Biden could
soon move forward with a formal
notification, despite staunch
opposition from Senate Foreign
Relations Committee Chair Bob
Menendez, the president can
still technically override
Congress to get the deal over
the line. Thank you Jeremy. For
single cornets to find an
unlikely a two thirds majority,
we should sell them the F 16.
Jets and modernize those jets as
well. It's not in our interest
not to do that. And I indicated
to them that I've not changed my
position at all since December.
And there was no quid pro quo
that was just we should sell but
I need congressional approval to
be able to do that. And I think
we can get
that. Probably good to get it.
They didn't hold yet. But we
did. It was first flop flown in
1974, which means it was
probably designed in the late
60s.
Why don't we give it to them,
then if it's all junk?
Well, they still make him
they've modernized him a bit.
But why don't we just sell it to
him?
I don't know why we're not
selling him the F 35. That's the
moneymaker. Now
whenever I say add that Turkey,
I immediately get people who
work on the F 35 program
emailing me. Could you please
tell me why you think it's a
turkey? And I'll just say that's
what everyone else is saying. I
don't know.
That's what everyone says it
won't fly supersonic. Right? My
wrong but I don't
I'm not sure. I really don't
know. It's a push because I
asked the guy who emailed me and
I said that's just what
everyone's saying. Um, I thought
there was there might be
something with there was
something there were a couple of
minor things. I recall that that
were not right. But mainly
because it's been such a
boondoggle for so long. It's
costing you know, the overrun is
worth 10 times or some
incredible amount of what it was
supposed to cost. And then I
said can you get me some
simulator time? Which was a hard
No. So I got oh, I'll come over
to your factory. Let me fly this
thing. Would it be fun? He says
the Push Button plane says
anyone can fly it. About that.
Will they have it? Maybe time to
bring up a Smedley Butler wars a
rocket as something that people
are we're recommending things
anyway. Like the Pentagon wars,
that's probably a good thing to
read.
War is a racket from Smedley
Butler is in public domain, you
get copies of everything just
download a PDF.
With all this material flowing
throughout the world as we're
just sending stuff over all of
our excess stuff. You get things
like this happening
back now was something TSA found
inside a checked bag at San
Antonio's airport. What appears
to be an anti tank weapon
agency. It was declared chicken
but the airline never told the
TSA about it. It was not allowed
through screening.
Someone declared Hey, I got a
tank bomb.
A tank bomb.
Oh, anti tank weapon in my carry
on. Is that okay? Sure. Go
ahead. You could just take it
through TSA. Checked it. Are
these things coming from? Are
they coming from I asked you
so so I got listed with anything
else I get. The Ukraine update
from NHK is probably worth
listening to.
Yes. Okay. Hello.
Hong Kong. Russian President
Vladimir Putin says he has no
doubt that victory in Ukraine is
inevitable. The comment comes as
his commanders move to expand
and strengthen their armed
forces. Putin commemorated the
80th anniversary of the Red Army
breaking Nazis during World War
Two.
Did you hear that? That that
bugle sounded like one of those
European ambulances from this
from the 70s? Yeah. Yeah,
exactly.
commemorated the 80th
anniversary of the Red Army
breaking a Nazi sees during
World War Two. He met with
workers and a missile factory
now in the middle of ramping up
production
measures to equalize national
weight. So this is the courage
and heroism of our fighters
during the special military
operation on the frontline and,
of course, the work of defense
industrial complexes, people
like you,
Putin revisited an old thing
calling Ukrainian leadership,
neo Nazi. He said again, that
Russian troops are fighting to D
notify the country. Ukrainian
president Volodymyr Zelensky
also took up a familiar appeal.
He asked leaders gathered at the
World Economic Forum for more
weapons.
Wow, that's news.
Wait a minute. Is Putin dead yet
from the cancer? No, we're from
the Parkinson's.
Yeah, didn t we have the shakes?
And this is annoying. I thought
this would be
buffaloed I do think so the
second part of this is about the
tanks and the tanks and more
tanks.
Eyes around the world will soon
turn to Germany where defense
cheese with the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization are set to
meet the Friday talks will once
again focus on help for Ukraine.
And this time the main topic is
tanks titled new input German
Ciao So are all of assaults that
are said in doubles, that
Russia's aggression must fail.
That is why we are continuously
supplying Ukraine with large
quantities of arms in close
consultation with our partners.
This includes defense systems
like Iris T, or patriot,
artillery, and armored infantry
fighting vehicles.
But Shultz declined to say
whether Germany will allow its
leper to battle tanks to be sent
to Ukraine. They're the go to
tanks for about 20 countries.
Poland and Finland have already
announced they want to provide
the text to Ukraine. But Germany
can veto the move. So it
suggested Tuesday that he'd be
willing to allow the move under
certain conditions. It follows
some US prodding, as Washington
seems concerned about a spring
offensive from Russia. Ahead of
Friday's gathering, Germany's
new Defence Minister will host
his us counterpart to discuss
the issue.
It's worth noting that as as bad
as everyone thinks Putin wants
to conquer Ukraine, so he can
get the rest of Europe Thank
you, Prime Minister that he
really hasn't been bombing Kyiv
that much he just kind of seems
to leave that alone.
bombed it a few times there's
been some some hits. But of
course, we don't know too much
about it. But key of is of
course, the
you're slipping into you're
saying keep your key if
that time key if you kind of,
okay. Key of is, is the
motherland is the home base.
It's where Russia was first
founded founded yet, right? So
you don't want to blow it up,
necessarily. I mean, you might
eventually but you know, it's
like blowing up your old old
family home just out of spite.
It's other places you can blow
up instead.
Let's talk about this for a
moment because we hear the World
Economic Forum, queen, Ursula
and others talking about the
we're going to rebuild we have
to rebuild Ukraine that will be
the next the next tranche
than me the next money grab,
right. So what will the trigger
be to settle this to stop it? It
sounds like Putin has to it has
to be Putin Putin has to die.
Otherwise, it just they will not
stop. It's whatever it is
Alinsky dies, same thing. Now
because his wife will just slip
into that spot. She'll tell,
you know, I'm gonna guess
what it was the Lansky goes, and
then all of a sudden there's
going to be peace now. It
there's got to be a better
signal for that, don't you
think?
Well, if Putin is not going to
die, so he's got years to go. I
mean, I don't think I mean, look
along, Fidel Castro lived, and
they were trying to kill him
from day one
within the walls. They could try
the old exploding cigar
business. And cigar. The
exploding coke. Yeah, go ahead.
Zelinsky. I don't know. I don't
know. I
don't know. I like to know. I
like to die. If you haven't
heard anybody suggestions. How
about this. The only way we
could do it is if a new theater
opens up for the military
industrial complex.
Rosaleen spent or throw money
away someplace else. Yeah. Maybe
Taiwan. You saw a little
evidence there with the turkey?
Greece? Yeah. It's a bit there
travelers. Big. The big.
We're talking a couple f6 teams,
we need other stuff. And how can
you get compassion on the level
of Ukraine? For Turkey? Turkey
A,
you can't get it Africa's falls
in that same category. Oh, man.
Everything at the World Economic
Forum is about Africa. Oh, yeah,
that's where we're gonna get all
of our minerals from Hey,
Africa, we're coming. We're
coming to get you. And the
Africans are not stupid. They
know it. Like oh, no, not these
jokes. Again, that coming in and
just gonna ruin everything. Give
us no chance to climb out of
this. They already run their
money. They run everything the
Chinese are in there. Well, you
know, there you go. This is
something we could do. What if
we found a particularly perfect
African country that is being
harassed by China? And we we
build a theater of war there.
You could even make up an
African country no one would
know.
disrupt the Chinese scamper.
They're not dumb. They may if
you recall, during the Libyan
conflagration in around Tripoli,
there was a huge series or just
like a giant mall of Chinese
buildings that were being built
to China was moving in on on
Libya, something that wasn't
discussed too much even on the
show. We talked about this, and
they just took off that when
that war broke out. There wasn't
one Chinese left in the whole
country saying now we're out of
here we don't have we got out of
things to do. So they just shut
out of there so I just
I just like to figure it out and
you know what what are they
going to do? How will this end
they keep saying whatever it
takes will go forever nothing's
going to stop we is no no, no,
no, no. But then could they want
to rebuild so how what is this?
How is what is the signal?
You can realize a little more
well, yes, but you still the
longer you do it, the more
rebuilding they'll take.
I understand but how can we
can't figure out the stop moment
It really must not be there yet.
Even though Ursula herself is
saying oh the the long
reconstruction it will take
quite a while but we'll get
there. We'll have to do it. No,
no, ma'am. The cabinet pretty
close to the chest.
there plenty let's go to this
Chinese warship concerns. This
is interesting. Oh, I don't Oh,
I see two clips at the exact
same time. Not liking that. But
okay.
I'll play the first one. Then.
In the blue waters of the South
Pacific, the French military
spotted a Chinese warship. This
warship appeared near French
Polynesia on December 22. Last
year, a group of islands in the
South Pacific Ocean. A week
later, the French military
against snapped photos of a
Chinese warship. This time your
New Caledonia, a French
territory in the Southwest
Pacific over 700 miles east of
Australia. It's unclear if it's
the same warship that emerged
earlier. Captain James Bunnell
is the former director of
intelligence and information
operations for the US Pacific
Fleet. He said having this
warship out in the South Pacific
demonstrates how China is
pushing its military
modernization forward
that the PLA leadership feels
confident that their platforms
are able to transit long
distances.
What's unusual about this
worship is that at the time it
was spotted. It was over 6000
miles away from his home base
that's beyond the range of
missile destroyer of this scale
could sustain without a refill
and ship following behind
their ships have the capacity to
transit these long distances.
And I think that's something
that also Americans should
understand is that we hear
conflicting reports from so
called experts who talk about
the inferiority of PLA Navy
warships, and that they don't
have long range. And that's
actually not true.
The for now said there's another
possibility there
diplomatic efforts in
establishing relations and
improve relations with a number
of nations in the South Pacific
as enable them to be able to
transit out there without a an
oiler that would go with them to
ensure that they always had
fuel.
So what do you think this is
about then?
I think he's just some lone ship
floating around, you know,
checking things out. It's just a
small destroyer with a missile
destroyer. And they say, there's
a number of things that were odd
about the report. One is that
oh, the French guy took a photo
a saw it, you know, are you
telling me that the 1000s of
satellites that we have aren't
tracking every single ship that
China has on the Pacific Ocean?
You think so? I would think so
it's never mentioned in this
report. Now, there's more
information if the second half
of this report is actually the
second half.
For example, the President of
the Philippines visited Chinese
leader Xi Jinping last week, the
two countries published a joint
statement pledging to boost
cooperation.
So it's entirely possible that
there was a port call by a
Chinese warship in somewhere in
the Philippines. And as I
mentioned previously, it's
possible also that they could
have stopped somewhere else
along the way by the want to
cure a boss probably not cure a
boss because they don't have a
lot of resources there. But the
Solomons is also one.
Beijing has been competing for
clot in the South Pacific,
several countries there have cut
off diplomatic relations with
Taiwan and recognized Beijing
instead, the Solomon Islands is
one of them. The same day the
French military saw the Chinese
warship near New Caledonia, a
Chinese aircraft carrier group
as close to Guam. That's
according to Beijing's official
mouthpiece Global Times. The
island of Guam is a US territory
and the site of a major military
base is home to Air Force and
naval facilities. It's also a
critical hub for submarine
communications cables between
the western US Hawaii, Australia
and Asia.
So I think we're going what
we're seeing now is These are
indicators of the PLA Navy
resuming its pursuit and its
strategic trend line of becoming
a global naval force.
He noted that having a global
naval force is critical for
Beijing's global economic
outreach,
having a big Navy, that can be
able to ensure that their
ability to transport goods and
services across the oceans of
the world to extend this Belton
Road initiative that extends
China's economic power to assure
that they have access to these
resources is the main main goal.
Yeah, that's the Belt and Road
strategy and have your spots
around the world where you can,
can refuel. Hello, everyone
knows this is happening. So
those two clips were exactly
exactly the same length. I know.
I don't think I've ever
accomplished that before. You're
a genius. And that's why we call
this the best podcast in the
universe. Now, before we go to
our break, a quick word about
value for value. For 15 years,
this program has been running on
value for value, the concept
being if you get value from
listening to anything that we
do, and it could be just
laughed, maybe you found a
friend, maybe a new
relationship, maybe you went to
a meet up, maybe you had found
something worth investing,
whatever it is. You just turn
that into a number and send it
back to us. And that has worked
very well for us for I mean, as
well as we could want. I mean,
we have a consistent job. I'm
very happy. I love what I do.
Something interesting happened
this past couple of days, with
Steven Crowder, did you follow
this at all? Because a lot of
people were tagged. Yeah.
You know, I never watched
Crowder, but I was watching this
and I think I made a comment on
the no agenda social. He looks
like and sounds like Ron
Burgundy.
Well, yes, I wasn't going there.
But he does. He's very pumped
up. He's very pumped up. So he's
a he's a, I didn't know that. He
was originally a comedian. I
didn't know that. And in what I
like, what I'd like Crowder, I
like his change my mind stuff
where he goes out with the
table. And you know, he makes us
Oh, yes, that's
a good bit. It's a great bit.
It's a very good bit. So
apparently, he was with the
blaze. And he left the blaze.
And he did this segment, which I
saw on YouTube. So he's still on
Yeah, I thought he was kicked
off YouTube. But he's still
always back on YouTube. I'm not
sure exactly what's happening.
And he was very unhappy about
what he calls big con, as in big
conservative. Yeah. And he and
he showed this contract,
redacted. And the contract said
something to the effect of okay,
and this was either a renewal
contract or a new contract. He
was like, I'm not going to call
him which kind of pissed me off
like, well, if you're going to
show contracts, why don't you
tell us who it is. So we're all
guessing. You know, it's just
from the blaze? Most people are
just guessing, right? Is it from
rumble? I mean, who knows. But
he was he was mad, because he
says the big conservative, they
just want to control messaging
as well. And it was very
interesting take he showed the
contract that said, if if your
show was taken off YouTube, then
we cut 20% of the money we pay
you if the show was taken off
Apple, the actual numbers on
there, they were in the 1000s
hundreds of 1000s of dollars as
well. How much are they paying
this guy?
Well, interesting. You ask that?
Because an answer came back now
and again. You know, we're
thinking, like, you know, this
is the blaze or something or I
actually I thought it would be
rumble, you know, because I know
that you know they're paying
Glenn Greenwald and all kinds of
other people. And And just
before I continue into the next
part, everyone's tagging is good
value for value is the way to
go. Man, you should do it value
for value. Totally cool. You can
do it. And I'm sure he has the
mug club or something. I'm sure
he could totally do that. He
could. Absolutely. He has the
audience. He has the momentum he
could do value for value. And
your question was answered last
night. Apparently this contract
came from the daily wire. As a
lot of people guessed, and
Jeremy boring the CEO. I have
it's 41 second clip P said let
me just read to you the contract
which was just an opening
negotiation. This is not the set
and done deal. This was just to
get him to the table. And
let me let me mention something
here in Iraq before you start
that. It was the dummy contract.
He's pitching on his show this
Crowder guy moaning and groaning
about the dummy contract and
anyone who's worked with
contracts. You always throw his
stupid his contract out there to
see if he's gonna someone's
gonna sign it. They don't just
use these zero pushback on any
changes. You want to make? And
I've done this in the book
business where you go in there,
the guys throws the dummy
contract out in the say, you
take the big markers. No, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no and no.
And you give it back to me,
okay? This is not even a
negotiation, it's just a can
use. It's like a game, can you
spot the bowl crap into dummy
contract? It seems to me as
though he's never seen a dummy
contract or even knows what it
is.
Or whoever was reviewing it for
him. Because in this 30 minute
video, boring says exactly that.
He said, You know, this was, we
made a stab, this is just, you
know, this is our opening, it
was just to get Crowder to the
table. They sent it to his
agent. Now, the thing that's
interesting about this, and that
Tina has a different she's she
she's with him on this, which
was interesting, because I just
see it differently. That Crowder
is saying, the way this contract
reads they're no, they're in bed
with big tech, they want me to,
they want to censor my speech.
Because if I say something
wrong, and I'm kicked off of
YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or I
think Facebook, they're going to
dock my money, they're going to
take my pay away. So his
conclusion was, this is they're
just trying to curtail my
speech. And which is why
everyone said, dude, go value
for value. What's your problem
that makes that makes sense. You
know, you can, no one can can
curtail your speech. You can say
whatever you want, and maybe
even stopped doing video, just
do audio, you know. So that was
his take is he said that, you
know, clearly the daily wire was
in bed with big tech to censor
him by docking his pay, which
would make him unable to speak.
How do you read that? That's
what
he said. Yeah, pretty sure
that's what he was saying. Yeah.
Even though he should have said
big Texan in bed with big
banking because as a result of
money and writer.
Okay, so here's, here's the
enter the shaggy dog story,
let's find out what the offer
was opening offer of the dummy
contract.
And so here we go. Here was our
offer a four year initial term
with two year renewal at DW sole
discretion. That just means
Stephens going to work for DW
for four years. And if it's
going really well, DW can retain
him for an additional two years,
you want to take a guess yet?
5 million a year
to the fee. Remember, this is
the minimum number that we
thought would get the
conversation started with
Stephen $50 million for the
initial term, plus $25 million
for the renewal term, extended
paid in monthly installments,
like I say, a pretty big number.
But we thought for talent like
Steven, this is probably the
minimum number that's going to
get get us in the door so we can
sit down and talk to him.
50 million 50 million for what
what are we
doing wrong?
Hello. Hello, Jeremy.
Hello, Jeremy. Hello. Daily
wire. 50 million. That's funny.
Now, the way
he's bitching about it, though,
and this is the funny thing
about you see this with people
that are somehow they get caught
up in some other world and some
other dimension? And and the
numbers don't match normal
normal numbers. No. And, and so
the and then they then they get
haughty about it 50 million is
all they want to give me?
Well, his point was cuz you
know, if you're whatever you're
making, if you know if we had to
be doctor told, I think it was
like 60% could be docked if he
was deep platformed everywhere
except the daily wire website.
That still $6 million a year.
That's a lot of dollars. You
know,
he's complaining.
I don't know. I was shocked by
that, that. Like I understand,
like, you know, it's, you know,
it's like half a million and you
got to pay your crew or maybe a
million you got to pay your crew
because I think that's included
in it. And then you get docked.
It's like, but man, I mean, I
have to say I see it from the
daily wires perspective. They
make their money by selling ads
that then are carried on iTunes
and and Spotify and YouTube ad
reads and everything.
The funny thing is I noticed
that thing in there but the he
has to be sincere something in
his ad reads. There was some
note about
So bottom line is I'm actually
happy we don't have because he
has to do 196 shows a year and
now he has to be careful of what
he says if he doesn't want to
hurt his own pocketbook. I
guess. It sounds like a raw deal
on it sounds like it's great
with all this money, but I think
I would prefer value for value.
Mainly because we have no
meetings. So we have no
advertisers suck up jobs to do.
Yeah, that's really a pain in
the ass but for 50 million bucks
I think you could stomach it.
No, it's only four year deal. So
it's like 10 million to over $10
million a year to suck up on
some. Hey, how you doing?
No, hey, yeah,
like I couldn't do you could
that's nice you know, once you
get those cufflinks
and with that I'd like to thank
you for your currency in the
morning to the man who put the
season the big con contract
which is a dummy one ladies and
gentlemen say hello to my
friend, Mr. John
well in the morning to you Mr.
Adam curry in the morning all
ships and see what's on the
ground feet in the air subs in
the water. And all the games and
nights out there in the
morning to our trolls and the
troll room who've been hanging
out working with us trolling
along doing all the stuff that
they need to do, which is mainly
trolling. And we had a problem
this morning with the troll
counter it was broken it was
returning zero so let's count is
1831 could be it we're not sure
if it's correct, but seems to be
working now. Seems to be working
1830 as low as broken then
obviously broken. Everything's
low these days. It's January's
what happens. Those are the
trolls which you can join in the
troll room troll room.io You can
listen live to the to the
stream. And you get the troll
room right there. You can log
into the chat. So pod verse does
this now at one of our new
podcast apps pod verse and also
podcast addict. Now apparently,
I don't know if it's out of
beta, but they are also doing
the live bat signal. So you use
that for all of your podcasts
when we go live or any other 2.0
compatible podcast, you get a
bad signal on your phone, click
it right there, you're into
there into the chat room, in our
case troll room. Listen to the
live stream. It's beautiful, new
podcast apps.com. And we also
have no agenda social.com Which
as you heard is where John is
posting thing. So you would want
to follow John C. Dvorak at no
agenda. social.com While you're
at it, follow Adam at no agenda
social.com Or if you want and
you're daring enough, sign up
for an account signup.no agenda
social.com You will have to
answer a few questions that
pertain to the show if you can't
answer them. No joy for you.
Thank you to our artists for
episode 1521. We titled that the
health scare system, which we
thought was quite cute. And
capitalist capitalist agenda
brought us just a groovy piece
of art the no agenda super shot,
which was total cartoon drawing
of a triple headed syringe in
beautiful comedic comic book
called colors. It just jumped
off the page. I mean, I think we
were in agreement pretty quickly
if I recall.
Yeah, there wasn't anything to
compete with it. Just some other
stuff. That was interesting.
Well, we were we were sad about
the the Corvette classified
roundy did a Corvette classic
pacojet. First of all the
Corvette and Biden with the
documents flying out had been
done several times. But he was
it was too I think the comment
was is too bad. That didn't do a
little more the Corvette logo
you could that could have been
something even more fun if
you're not just adding the word
classified.
Yeah, that was well, I didn't
have any.
We're looking for oomph people
are looking for oh, we're
looking for oomph. There were
some brownies.
A brownie has been mellowed out
by some woman friend. I believe
DC girl has mellowed him? Is
that what you're saying? I don't
know. I don't know. Honey, what
are you doing? I'm doing art.
Come back too bad.
Huh? So there wasn't anything
else that was competitive with
the double jab, which was kind
of funny piece. It was a good
idea to use another piece for
the I use Joey's files, the
filing cabinet or the newsletter
because of course the newsletter
is kind of about skift since and
it has a long, long briefing
from one of our producers about
how it classified information
supposed to be kept. Even though
I did get a note this morning
from another producer who worked
in intelligence and says I
suppose should by a deadline. He
has a whole bunch of
corrections. Oh for it, and for
the next day, not major but for
the next newsletter. It'll come
it'll eventually be used
somehow. But it's so Joey's
files which is Darren O'Neill
throw away. I don't want to call
it that throw away But Darren,
Darren has zzs like, it's like,
he's the perfect guy in an
advertising agency to just get
something done.
Yeah, functional and very
functional,
functional, but it's good. It's
not like it's not like crap.
No, no, it's very usable. It's
very usable. It's the one you
show the client as the second
choice. We have this thank you
very much capitalist agenda and
all the artists who do this
phenomenal work you can follow
them and no agenda art
generator.com, almost 30,000
pieces now, since the when did
we start with the with our
generator was that early on the
second iteration, we had a
previous art generator that was
done by Brandy and wasn't Paul
was somebody else. And that in
the beginning, early on, is the
very beginning. We started doing
art somebody immediately the
guys who did all their initial
art, there's two guys. And and
they did, they created this
little website where they kept
putting the art up and we could
pick from it. And then coutures
decided at some point that it
was to kind of exclusive I
guess, and he anyone could do
it. But it wasn't a very it
wasn't a slick site like this
one. There was probably a
femoral screw that now. Let's do
something better. And that was
way. You know, it was, I think
couple 100 shows in before this
one came up. Yeah, once we lost
that original art.
We lost a lot of early show
stuff. Remember dropped.io?
Vaguely. Yeah. Yeah, that was
like, that was where we were
saving the show notes,
dropped.io and the clips and art
and then one day we woke up and
it would have been purchased by
Facebook and they shut it down.
That's what's so great about
technology.
We couldn't get anything back
and like a Free for life. We're
never doing that again. That's
what we thought. Thank you.
Again, catalyst agenda, all of
the artists it's highly
appreciated. We believe that it
really helps in people
discovering the show. It's
something put it to look at when
we post it on social media. It's
inviting people want to click on
it. And we think it's
contributed enormously to the
show. So it is value for value
which consists of time, talent
and treasure and the treasure.
today comes from our executive

ridden tech industry? Thanks for

I was reading that Amazon is
letting yet another 18,000
People go.
Cool. Have a clip. I have a clip
or oldest. Oh, let's do it.
Since we're here, why not? Let's
let's turn this into content.
Yeah, it's a layoffs.
Let me see. I don't see.
economic slowdown, layoffs got
it.
Managers that tech companies
went on a frenzy of hiring for
set to satisfy demand for their
products during the height of
the pandemic. Now, those that
Microsoft have joined others in
laying off employees cutting
10,000 jobs. CEO Satya Nadella
says he's seen customers change
how they spend their money. He
says some parts of the world are
already in recession, and
organizations in every industry
are exercising caution. He says
the decisions to reduce the
workforce are difficult but
necessary, executive have said
other technology companies have
made similar decisions over the
past several months, though said
Amazon plans to layoff about
18,000 employees, those that
Facebook's parent company metal
platforms about 11,000 and those
at Salesforce about 8000
Microsoft this morning 10,000
And I think the Amazon is 18,000
times to
the joke is Amazon makes nothing
but sense. During the lock downs
and all the rest of it, people
were ordering a lot of stuff
they weren't going out to some
stores were closed. But
Microsoft, what's the lockdown
got to do with anything? Are
they are they COVID have to do
with anything their job to do?
I don't think the problem is
COVID I think the problem is
recession has nothing to do with
COVID Unless you want to say
COVID was the instigator of the
recession but so that's about
60,000 tech workers and it's not
people at the Amazon warehouse.
No, it's probably if they're
smart is probably middle
management HR.
Yeah middleman is always below
to help all these tech companies
get rid of them. But anyways
have loads they have nothing but
bloat and then they use any
excuse they can to get rid of
and when this is kind of a clean
sweep don't even do the problem
I've always had is they don't
even do a good job of it. They
just take a group and get rid of
them
now. Yeah, well it's gonna be
interesting in your area in
fact, I
think it was exhibited best by
Elon Musk. Yeah, he's firing
people willy nilly. They don't
know what he did. He has no idea
what any of them did
remember when that when it was
Twitter's good? It's gonna fall
over it'll shut down tomorrow.

laughing together through it
all. No agenda has definitely
helped our sanity. Yes, if

we're going to help you laugh
about it. That's exactly right.

its own little stamp. And
someone was very confused. They
said you know I got I got the I
got everything got my ring. But
but then the stamp is like is
George Washington. George
Washington? What are you talking
about? So I guess we send a
guess a sealing wax comes with
its own little George Washington
stamp. Have you heard about
this?
No. I've heard about somebody
and they sent a picture. I have
no idea what that's all about.
Maybe it's just part of the of

something last night we had
dinner they were in Texas with
Chris and Anamika they are long
term no agenda producers. And he
was he had an so they came to
Texas and went to Costco because
he had heard of this fantastic
wine. The cost $7 And I had some
last night and I want to pass it
on to you. Because this may be
one of those one of those Easter
easter eggs you ready? It's the
Kirkland Signature Bordeaux
super year 2020 Yeah, have you
tried this one
is get to blood the dark blue
label? Yes. Well, this is the
one we mentioned every year this
is a no one. No wonder okay,
like it's a big shocker to
anybody wants to me I have
copies though. They don't do
them in bad years, which is
interesting because 2017 It was
never released. Excuse me. 2020
is not shown up here. I am
always on the lookout for this
particular wine. It's usually
698 which is seven bucks. It's
very they come in as I think
Costco bought this Chateau is
the same chateau. If you look
very carefully on the label at
the very bottom, the name of the
Chateau appears and Yeah, very
small, four point type. It's a
dynamite wine. It's always been
really, really
not now,
I just want I always get a case
every year I don't even taste
it. Boom case I'm in.
So he's your level man. He knows
about this stuff. I mean, maybe
heard about on the show but I
forget about these things. It
was really nice. You know what,
what are you good? What do you
what do you got us for dinner he
bought the Robert Craig mountain
feeder 2018
This should be decent home.
Oh my god. It was off the hook.
It was great.
Robert Craig winery I did their
first website. You did know. And
I traded wine for
the website wine for web or
drank a lot of Robert Craig's
wines. They've gotten way, way
up in price since the early
days.
But it was like 95 bucks on this
is
not cheap anymore, but it's very
good dining. Wellmade tastes
like a Cabernet supposed to
taste and when anyway, so I was
doing the website and then their
son came along. Oh, and he took
over your gig. He took kick me
out. Basically they did it brick
websites a lot better than one I
did. That's for sure. And what I
did is kind of sloppy by
comparison. It did have blinking
things. And but they didn't know
Yeah, little cat running back
and forth at the bottom. So I
had taught he didn't have a
website and I loved their wines.
I was over there. And so I
visited with him once and I said
I gotta go to a website. I mean,
come on.
I got a website, man, man, and
so a man got it. All right,
well, yeah. So I was as I was
correct, it was all good. And
that Costco that Costco is
fantastic. $7
that's at Costco. You didn't get
to Robert Craig cause no, no,
no, no, no, that was at the
restaurant. No, they bought this
at Costco and brought it to us
and like here we got a gift for
you.
Yeah, it was great. The wine is
a great gift.
It's a great gift. I suppose.
I got one. Yeah. Okay, I see it
here. Let's play it. Quite hot.
White White Hot. White Hot white
hot
white hot. No, no,
there's only one
enough already.
That has to be the case. Good
enough. That
has to be the one it has to be
gore. ranting Yes. All right.
Let's go to a couple of
interesting clips. I got one
here. Before I get to my my
banning tick tock clips. Which
by the way really looks fishy
but let's go into this story. I
got my attention is AI at CNET
is you heard about this? No.
Will artificial intelligence be
writing news articles in the
future? A popular tech news
outlet was recently found to
have published articles written
by AI here are the details.
Popular tech news outlet CNET
was recently outed for
publishing articles generated by
AI, online marketer and
authority hacker co founder
Gayle Brayton first made the
discovery and posted it to
Twitter earlier this month.
Brayton said CNET started
experimenting with AI articles
in early November of last year.
The articles are about personal
finance, and Brayton reported
that CNET has published about 75
such articles so far. See net
didn't make any prior public
announcement or disclosure to
its readers about the use of AI.
Only when readers click on the
byline do they see that the
article was actually AI
generated
because of the journalism over
at CNET as so as such high
quality that it's an outrage
that they're using AI hopefully
a drop down description reads
this article was assisted by an
AI engine and reviewed fact
checked and edited by our
editorial staff. Okay, here's my
AI from CNET. Look at this
phone, okay.
Put into futurism.com. The news
sparked outrage and concern.
This is mostly for the idea that
AI generated journalism could
potentially eliminate work for
entry level writers and produce
inaccurate information. A writer
on crackberry.com wrote was a
job like that. That got me into
this position today. If that
first step on the ladder becomes
a robot, How is anybody supposed
to follow in my footsteps. The
criticism led to see nets editor
in chief Connie Guglielmo to
respond with an explanation. The
platform admitted that starting
in November 2022. It decided to
do an experiment to see quote,
if there's a pragmatic use case
for an AI assist on basic
explainers around financial
services.
So you're all getting fired.
Surprise, surprise.
I saw that come in 10 years ago,
hey, there's a term that I
learned just yesterday that ties
into this. perma Lansing you've
ever heard I don't know this
term. perma. Lansing. perma
Lansing is is where you're hired
as a freelancer but you don't
get any benefits. They pay you
as a freelancer every two weeks
on payroll so your tax is taken
out. But you get no benefits and
basically you can be fired at
the drop of a hat.
Is this even legal? In
California? betches notch
I wouldn't I heard this is
happening in New York. I don't
think it's
New York. They don't care.
They don't care about people
perma Lansing though. It's
interesting term. And we got to
keep our eye on this.
Yeah, perm Well, the robots will
take those guys out
normal answers
let's look at what they're
trying to do because the
Congress and everybody's now
getting all jacked up about tick
tock as those you know, it's a
horrible worst thing in the
world and you spotted it right
away right at the very beginning
this is just nothing more than
an the numbers that will show
out in this that what the theory
is why it's obviously I think is
confirmed that they just want to
get rid of these guys because
they're make they're taken too
big a piece of the pie and it's
going to chain on chain. So you
can't show as a as a capitalist
you can't possibly that the
Chinese get any of your money.
So let's go with banning tic tac
one
US government seeks to outlaw
tic tock President Joe Biden
signed legislation in December,
banning federal employees from
using the video app on
government devices. However,
obstacles still remain entities
Daniel Monaghan has more.
More than 25 states have also
taken measures against Tiktok.
But some believe that these
measures are not enough.
This company should be banned. I
don't know why they're allowed
to operate the United States.
They contend that it could be
used for an American right FCC
commissioner Brendan Carr on Fox
News,
funny dance memes and video is
simply the sheep's clothing
underneath. It's a sophisticated
surveillance app.
The Biden administration has
reportedly been looking into
ways to split the app off from
Chinese owner bytedance While
the department's of justice and
defense are advocating for a
forced sale of tiktoks US
operations due to national
security concerns of
hundreds of employees with
amperes access to us user data.
Who is this guy? The Republican
what's his name, again? With the
long head, the guy talking now
with a long head that may very
well be members of the Chinese
Communist Holly Holly. Yeah,
these guys are on the take from
Silicon Valley. Man. These guys
are all all in on it. James
Andrew literally stood there
right away. I didn't I wasn't
paying attention to who it was.
But the guy with the long head
there's only once a Democrat.
Carry and once a Republican
Holly, long heads, long head
guys,
beware of long heads. This is
It's disgraceful. Really. It
really is disgraceful. And Trump
started this. And Trump might
have he might have meant it. But
I also think he had an ulterior
motive like hey, man, if I'm
going to start any kind of media
company, I gotta get these guys
out of the way. They're eating
everybody's lunch. All the ad
money all the ad money is going
to him
that may very well be members of
the Chinese Communist Party,
or Louis DeRay. director at the
Center for Strategic and
International Studies says the
US government does not have the
authority to ban speech. He
noted that any attempt to
restrict Americans access to Tik
Tok would not withstand a court
challenge. However, Law
Professor Fred Cates as the US
government has vast powers if it
believes a company is
threatening national security,
FBI director Christopher Rea,
its
parent company is controlled by
the Chinese government.
The government does have the
authority to compel Apple and
Google to remove the app.
And I said Apple and Google
should kick them out of the App
Store based on those undisclosed
data flows alone.
However, this step would have no
effect on the 100 million
Americans who already have the
app on their phone.
So Apple and Google they of
course need laws. They Google
has a real problem. They they're
losing money, they're losing add
money to Tik Tok. I don't know
exactly what Apple's loss would
be. But those guys that are too
deep into China, they need a law
to say oh, you can't have these
guys on your app store.
Because I'm sorry, that that
Apple's indebted to China for
all the phones that they make
for him. I know.
They wouldn't be able to kick it
off of their own accord they'd
have to have a ruling Yeah, of
course they're not gonna do Oh,
hey, we
got nothing to do with this as a
damn lawyer. This guy's in our
Congress's how much they hate
you. We love you.
Meanwhile, this the same guys
who basically neutered
Facebook's app, then Instagram
have their tracking
capabilities. Yeah,
and it's fun Honey. Wow. So
here's banning Tik Tok digital
short finish on this
tick tock accumulates massive
amounts of personal data. CIA
director William Burns reacts to
that on PBS.
I think it's a genuine concern.
I think for the US government.
The average American viewer
spends 80 minutes per day on Tik
Tok, which is more than the time
spent on Facebook and Instagram
combined.
Nice payoff. Wow, what a farce.
Paulie, total
force is Rubio.
Who else who else was in there?
We got a volley. And did they?
I'm gonna cross reference. Did
they get money from FTX? Oh, I'm
sure they did. And you got to
look at all these things now.
Every day unit party is
compromised across the board.
They're all scoundrels.
Scoundrels. Scoundrels. So
there's a
cool,
I think, obvious fake. I
wouldn't call it a deep fake,
but it's kind of cool. Of Biden
calling Hunter Biden President
Biden calling Hunter Biden have
you heard this clip? No, I
don't. I have not heard his your
mic is really is it's really
loose or something. It's so
weird.
What it is, I think it's because
it's been sitting here for 15
years. And I can look at it. And
the rubber bands on the tuckus
is one of those cradles. Yeah.
The rubber bands on the top shot
way long. And the other end of
his bang at the bottom part of
the thing. I gotta have to flip
it over somehow. You need to
restring it. kind of rude. Yeah,
something's got to give because
it's bang and I can see where it
hits was doing
him this thing here. Yeah, it's
very unprofessional. And we're
not we're not yes,
it's totally unprofessional.
That's why we don't get to $50
million.
Exactly. It's all your fault.
Because you're not prophy
Alright, here is a so called
phone call between President
Biden and Hunter Biden.
About these documents there's
five more places that I can
remember very, you can't hear it
at all. No, it's just muffled
and low. It's almost done.
The red cell phone call up the
rock Michelle. Them operation
crashing ago
Tom sorry, you couldn't hear it.
He says call up. Barack and
Michelle let him know operation
crash and burn is is a go.
Because he has five more spots
where he's hiding documents.
That sounded so realistic that I
wanted to remind everybody what
our president actually sounds
like. This is from Martin Luther
King is celebration. Martin
Luther King the third's wife. It
was her birthday and our
president did the following
congratulations
a day the honorees including
your wife who I understand the
birthday today well look my wife
has a rule our family when
somebody's birthday sing Happy
Birthday. Ready? Be birthday to
you. Happy birthday to you.
Happy birthday. Happy birthday
to you
seem to remember anybody's name
is the second time he's done the
same bit. But
it's particularly when he does,
which everyone does. But he
moved the mic away from your
mouth President Happy Birthday
valve
Oh, man. I think I've, uh, two
clips that I'd like to play
because there's some political
things being set up. We had and
I think this is this is a
general trend that we've
detected. So we had January 6
Worse than 911 Worse than the
Civil War worse than World War
Two more casualties than the
trenches in the in the trenches
of World War One. Then we had
January 8, January 8, which was
what was that again?
I already forgot.
Oh, was it it was
another important democratic
point to this.
January I forgot what it was.
Where was it? January you it was
okay. Well, it will come back to
my my Hello troll row helped me.
Then we had the threat to our
democracy. Obviously, we had the
Canadian trucker protests and
this is all it's all the same
theme. It's Oh, well. You've got
people wrapped in your flag. You
got people who Oh, Brazil, of
course, it was January 8 was
Brazil. Yeah, they use the, you
know, it was like Maga was just
like Trump. And then we had the
the Germans remember the
Germans, who were the the
prince, the German prince, who
was going to take over the
country with all of his elderly
friends. dead guy, that guy.
Yeah. And so now we have a
version of it in France,
although this goes back to the
2018 plot to I think it was to
cat to kidnap or kill for French
president Macomb to this is now
a trial and all over Europe,
they're out basically, this has
to be stopped. It's a worldwide
problem. It's happening
everywhere. And if you see
anyone who is a patriot, or is
walking around with your
country's flag, they are to be
deemed suspicious. So
we'll look I think there's a
number of ways to look at this
group, the partial or crazy. I
mean, to start with, I mean,
it's not clear that they had a
hugely coherent and competent
organization, but they had
principally a Facebook group and
some meetings. But this doesn't
mean they're not representative
of something concerning the
question, of course, in the
trial, is whether the
prosecution can sustain the
claim that this was some form of
organized conspiracy. And I
suspect this is going to be a
challenge. What this represents,
I think, is a it's really an
international pattern. That's to
some extent, self radicalized
groups, which are circulating
around a set of quite
established themes and ideas
associated with new rights, to
some extent mainstreamed by
political parties. And so what
you see here is, in a sense, a
microcosm of a pattern that's
repeating itself all the way
across Europe, whether in, in,
in Sweden, with Sweden,
Democrats, or, you know, in the
US in Poland, where you have
mainstream parties producing
culturally organized narratives
that are to some extent, you
know, reliant on a body of
support wider within society
that has more much more extreme
perspectives. And this is, is
groups like this fully. Yeah,
this is the problem. If you're a
far if you're a conservative or
right leaning or just anything
that is on the right of the
spectrum. You are creating
terrorists. You are in fact,
probably terrorist group
yourself. You will move from the
right to the far right doesn't
matter if you're in Italy, if
you're in Sweden, if you're in
Poland, if you're in the United
States, if you're in Canada. No,
yeah, this is the problem. And
of course, it's all Trump in
America.
The other big story making
headlines tonight a failed
Republican candidate accused of
targeting his opponents. Police
say Solomon Pena falsely claimed
his November election loss was
rigged. While he's under arrest
tonight suspected of
orchestrating a number of
shootings at the homes of four
Democratic lawmakers. We get new
details from CBS is Scott
McFarlane,
did you hear this report? This
guy,
I missed this.
Salomon Pena, just three months
ago was a candidate for the New
Mexico State House championing
himself as a maga Republican.
Tonight, he's under arrest
accused of targeting democratic
officials because he was unhappy
with his loss in November, which
he falsely argued was fraud
false. This
was about a right wing radical
and election denier who was
arrested today. And someone who
did the worst imaginable thing
you can do when you have a
political disagreement, which is
turn that to violence,
Pena allegedly hired for
accomplices to fire bullets into
the homes of two high profile
democratic state legislators and
two county commissioners.
According to police. One was
Adrian Barbosa who found
evidence of gunfire after
returning home from Christmas
shopping.
My home was sad, right they may
send or four times out my back
window right through my living
room and kitchen. Right where I
had just been playing only hours
before with my brand new gag
grandbaby
pain, you confronted at least
two of the four targets at their
homes just weeks earlier. After
the election. He said in so many
words at your home, don't
certify this election.
He said I want results now and
he was he was definitely
aggressive.
In their report police a photo
show Pena with one of the
alleged accomplices and that
individual with multiple guns
and ammunition and that Pena
paid one of the shooters $500
The police report says Pena was
unhappy with one of the
shootings and asked the shooters
to be more aggressive to shoot
lower into the houses to do so
earlier in the evening when
targets would less likely be
laying down. New Mexico House
Speaker Javier Martinez, whose
home was also targeted was born
in Mexico. That is a place where
politics and journalism can
actually get you killed.
I would have never thought that
that could be the case. In my
own country here.
Police am one of the shootings a
state legislator His 10 year old
daughter woke up to bullet
debris falling on her head.
Solomon Pena makes his initial
court appearance tomorrow in New
Mexico,
man. I mean, how can that even
be real? What kind of kind of
Dumbo is
in spite of being some setup to
somebody's establishing this can
never go to jail see a cell
everless Follow this to the end?
Yeah. Yeah. Typical, like sum up
that we're yet to not Oh, you
haven't used the awkward. Yeah,
there we go. You got anything
else?
Yeah, I got a couple of things.
Let me just get the display of
North Korea. Let's catch up with
North Korea. What's going on?
Okay, here we go. North Korean
lawmakers have wrapped up a two
day discussion on how to balance
the country's 2023 budget. its
leader Kim Jong Hoon chose not
to attend. But the session
appears to have led to some big
decisions around the country's
language and culture. North
Korea has adopted a new law in
debt what it calls the
protection of the culture or the
Pyongyang dialect. It appears to
be an effort to tighten control
over the spread of South Korean
styles of speech and strengthen
measures against the influence
of foreign pop culture. Media
also report lawmakers discuss
ways to help the economy and
improve the standard of living.
They also agreed to maintain
current defense spending. At the
ruling party's meeting last
month, Kim announced plans to
ramp up its nuclear and missile
programs. That includes the goal
of developing a new
intercontinental ballistic
missile.
All right, that was kind of
interesting. They worked about
Kpop probably having an effect
on the use of North Korea. Yeah,
through tick tock, yo, yo, yo,
no, no, no, you can't say that.
You can't say that. Yo, yo, yo.
Oh, you can't say yo, yo, yo, is
that bad? No,
of course not. And suits against
the rules.
Alright, this is my last clip.
That's my last clip. I'm playing
it just to break up any the next
Asian voice I hear from your
clips. It's like all you're
doing is watching Asian TV.
I made a point of it. Yeah.
Yeah.
They're so dynamic. The delivery
is fab.
Well, you know, you're just
racist.
So, you know, we probably never
talked about the Megan Markel
Harry book, documentary, etc.
Because, frankly, what do we
care? Although it'd be fun to
watch when the pendulum comes
back, because as you know, it's
a boomerang when you abuse the
media for your own benefit. It
will come back and hurt you
very, very badly. And I think
Meghan Markel, when there's
nothing left to tell that, you
know, it'll be end of story and
they'll get desperate and
they'll wind up like that. Kony
2012 guy, you know, running
around on drugs naked on top of
cars, you watch Mark my words.
So Jeremy Clarkson, he made fun
of Meghan Markel, and he said,
he said something horrible. And
he's being canceled over it
this morning, Prince Harry and
Duchess Megan Markel, are saying
Apology not accepted after
British TV host Jeremy Clarkson
posted a lengthy May a culpa for
saying in his newspaper column
that he hoped the Duchess of
Sussex would one day be forced
to parade naked through the
streets, or the crowd chants
shame a reference to a scene
from Game of Thrones shame.
This is interesting that the
that the the common history that
we have now, when it comes in
with when it comes to marching,
terrible people down the streets
naked that actually comes from
world wars where collabora tours
were shaved and marched down the
street naked. Yeah, it's
pathetic what's happened but
these these days, it's, it's a
game. By the
way, that essay, I think it's in
the show notes. The original
one, which you can get off of
the archive.org was quite
entertaining to read.
Which essays this now. Oh,
Jeremy Clark. I thought it was
funny too. But But Whoa, he's in
trouble while
the crowd chants shame a
reference to a scene from Game
of Thrones, Shane Shane Clarkson
who rose to fame on top gear,
and now stars and Amazon Prime
videos, the grand tour and
Clarkson's farm issued an
apology on Instagram saying I
really am sorry, all the way
from the balls of my feet to the
follicles on my head. This is
putting my hands up. Carson says
he was in a hurry when he wrote
the column which was pulled by
the Sun newspaper. Prince Harry
addressed the column during a
recent interview with ITV
not only to what he said was
horrific, and oh, and cruel
towards my wife. Oh, but it also
encourages violence around the
UK and around the world. Men
particularly men go and think
that it's acceptable to treat
women that way
no i spokesperson for hair Being
vegan responded to Clarkson's
public apology Monday saying
what remains to be addressed and
his long standing pattern of
writing articles that spread
hate rhetoric, dangerous
conspiracy theories and misogyny
unless each of his other pieces
were also written in a hurry as
he states, it is clear that this
is not an isolated incident.
Variety reports Amazon is likely
to part ways with Clarkson after
this controversy did
Veritas did they fire him, they
cut them off. Yeah. Wow. I hope
he got 50 million.
Well, he probably didn't get
anything. And it was a funny
piece. I read it. I've sent it
around. You had a copy? Yeah.
And it's it was well written.
I'm sure it wasn't just knocked
off because it was you could
tell it was because there was a
lot of comedic timing and there
was written as a funny piece.
And that note can't be funny
anymore.
Yeah. That's kind of, dare I say
lame.
You can say whatever you want.
Well, yeah, well, he was kind of
a dick. Anyway.
She was a national Dick

him. Oh, he was a treasure.
