This is your award winning give
on nation media assassination
episode 1529. This is no agenda,
opening Project Blue Beam and
broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here
in FEMA Region number six in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry,
and from Northern Silicon Valley
where we're opening project
bullcrap. I'm John C. Dvorak.
It's the same book, it's just a
different cover. There's no
difference between the two is
actually the playbook for the
Super Bowl.
Bowl crap. Let's do that right
away. Before we do anything,
let's let's just do our
prediction for the Super Bowl.
We do it every single year. You
do it based on sports analysis.
I do a based on God geographical
geopolitical, geopolitical
feelings. What do you say?
Well on sports analysis,
everybody's predicting the
Eagles. But I'm going to because
they've never been in this team,
this team. I mean, the Eagles
have been in Super Bowls, but
this team is, is rank amateurs.
And one of them's the
quarterback in particular, the
guy think they're gonna be
nervous enough, they're gonna
end up losing the game and I'm
gonna give it to the Kansas City
team.
Wow. Okay, well, you know, I was
already all in on the, the City
of Brotherly Love. So it's got
to be the Eagles and I'm gonna
give you a score to give you a
score.
Is it going to be the same score
that was in the newsletter?
No, I don't think so. My score
is eagles 38 Chief 17 Why would
you laugh at that?
It's so silly. Okay, all righty
then giving a score. You don't
even like football.
I love football. I love the
Super Bowl. It's gonna be great.
It's gonna be a great Super
Bowl.
It goes on right after the show
and I wonder how many people are
listening to all the bowl crap
that's going on before the game?
Yeah, you know? And then it's
showing pictures and I bet
they're free stuff you can do at
the Super Bowl when you were
there.
So I think Fox has the rights to
this year Super Bowl if I'm not
mistaken
Fox Yes. Which means it's going
to be broadcast in 4k
and Oh really? Yep. I didn't
know that ABC or whatever they
haven't they don't broadcast it
in 4k.
Nobody broadcasting 4k Except
that I know I think NBC does a
few broadcasts and 4k and a fox
does a lot of broadcasts and 4k,
but people like to condemn it
because it's faux que
focus. Oh, it's not real cage
focus.
Well, what they do is they
broadcast and high definition
and then they up convert as den
den broyage Send it out in 4k,
but it's not true 4k.
Lame. Is that lame? It
looks good. But the thing that
is different is that it comes
over in HDR, and that really
brightens up the picture and
helps a lot. Now, if you have a
set that can do it. The
tradition
is the network that is
broadcasting the Superbowl game
also has a sit down interview
with the President. Is this
happening? It's just happening
this year.
But Bush, Bush Bush a little bit
behind the time. Yeah, just a
bit. Biden says no,
that's, that's a lame name. Now
there's a lot going on. I
understand. Yeah. Before we get
to Operation Blue Blue bean bull
crap. Did you see the note from
Sir Daniels? No, came in late,
sir Daniels. This is a night of
the no agenda roundtable. He
recently took a position at
Project Veritas and he has an
update based upon our broadcast
from Thursday. And he says he
was able to finish the last
episode. And he calls bullcrap
on everything we said. I want to
read it we say well, remember
that we found out this whole
frog is going on that they did
they kick out James O'Keefe.
He's on a week leave. Turns out
there's a 501 C three and a 501
C four and I personally
questioned you know what was
going on? Was this some did
Pfizer take issue with one of
their one of their Why do I
get mentioned in this
condemnation? Then? Go on?
Okay, Kara. Don't do that. You
can say anything you want but
don't go
on. Don't do that. Is it is
Cara? Yes, Carrie.
i He He sent it to me. So you
were copied on it but you didn't
get condemned in this?
I don't I don't I get doing work
in the morning. I'm looking at
emails like it's too late. You
should have sent me a letter
sir Daniels from Veritas boots
on the ground. He says I promise
you your assessment on the 501 C
three versus 501 C four is very
much wrong. We don't lobby at
all. Okay, so strike. Okay,
wait, stop. He's going to
explain it. You'd like to know
why? Well, I first
the question that comes
immediately to mind is that why
do you have that designator,
which is specifically for
lobbying operations? Here
it is. We out of abundance of
caution, always put out stories
that involve elections or
candidates under our 501 C four
entity. Lawyers have suggested
this setup because when we show
a political candidate in a
negative light, it can be
interpreted as an endorsement
for the opposition. We do not.
Okay, I stand corrected on that.
We do not endorse or advocate
for anything, we just report on
what people say in private that
contradicts what they say in
public. This, we also honeypot
gay guys with no mention of that
this setup was deemed to protect
our 501 C three status makes
total sense. In principle, we
don't think we really even need
to see for it all but but use it
out of an abundance of caution.
As we state on our website. I'm
sorry, I did not read that. By
the ways as I am the Executive
Director for both entities. And
we're talking to the top here,
John, we're no slouch.
No, I think this Yeah, no, no,
no. The board has not capital n
ot ousted James, everyone wants
him at Project Veritas. And
Pfizer is not putting any
pressure on us. Well, that's
three strikes. I can't really
say much more than this, than
that, at this point as the
situation is fluid, but more
detailed to come as I'm able to
share service track. Okay,
well, this will that's the
official
word. I'd say. So
So you know, I'll explain
anything, but it's okay.
You know what, it's more
official word and I've heard any
podcasts or any Twitter person
have in which we just throw it
away. And we just throw it away
at the beginning of the show.
Throw away it's just a way for
us to toss away. All right. Wow,
this was an exciting time to be
a podcast or breaking news.
Breaking
News Tonight a US fighter jet
shoots down yet another high
altitude flying object this time
over Canada amid the growing
mystery of what was shot down
over Alaska on Friday. The US
military searching for remnants
of what it took down but they're
facing nasty weather off Alaska
and new questions today. What
was it and who sent it.
Breaking news breaking news
Canadian
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
announcing a US fighter jet took
out an unidentified object over
the Yukon scrambling both
Canadian and US aircraft after
coordinating with President
Biden Saturday afternoon, just
one day after another
unidentified object was shot
down over Alaskan waters with
recovery efforts underway in the
Arctic and more questions and
answers about who owned it, why
it was there and what
capabilities it may have had. We
don't have
any information that would
confirm a stated purpose for
this object
when President Biden ordered us
fighter jets to take it out with
a missile just hours after
learning about it.
Oh man it's so good. It's so
good. I'm sure you have a couple
of clips you want to share I
have all clips actually. We we
need to help people with this
one.
But I think that the real issue
is the lies by omission. Okay,
which I have documented quite
excellent let's do it quite
nicely including somebody who
finally tells us what to watch
all right,
I got I got now just so you
know, I have Aviation Week which
has some interesting this you
know, editors of Aviation Week
from their podcast interesting
observations about the Chinese
balloon the first the OG
balloon. I also have the
Pentagon media briefing about a
boot the the first UFO so that
and then of course I have the
you know, the typical mainstream
bullcrap, so just let your
mainstream bullcrap but then I
go to go to the to the full
press conference of the shine of
the Canadian yes defense
minister minister and she won't
say what it is and then they
make a mistake Okay. And tell us
what it is but let's I I'm still
mystified by why they're trying
to bull crap us with these with
the specifically say
unidentified flying objects a
couple of times the Canadian
said that everybody says it i By
the way, I have you had your
clips you just played once. One
of the comments was UFO.
I have the answer for later but
let's get through all the clips
first.
Okay, well, let's go with just
go to the MBU. What did ABC us
do? NBC, NBC is overview.
Tonight, Canadian Prime Minister
Justin Trudeau Announcing a US
fighter jet took out an
unidentified object over the
Yukon scrambling both Canadian
and US aircraft after
coordinating with President
Biden Saturday afternoon, just
one day after another
unidentified object was shot
down over Alaskan waters.
By the way, this is the same
report at NBC. I think this is
the same report
with recovery efforts underway
in the Arctic and more questions
and answers about who owned it,
why it was there and what
capabilities
this is same exact is the same
clip except
you have more of it if that was
the same beginning of my clips,
so I'd say we bought
you ABC. No, it was the NBC then
let's go on. Let's go to let's
get the hell with it. Let's get
it so that this is an
international let's go to Al
Jazeera. UFO Canada AJ report
another unidentified object has
been shot down over North
American airspace this time over
northern Canada. Canadian and
American forces were tracking
these cylindrical object before
a US F 22. Aircraft shot it down
over the Yukon becomes a day
after flying object was shot
down over Alaska in the US. And
a week after a Chinese balloon
was downed off the coast of
North Carolina.
Okay, so this is interesting
because they have is an Object
and Object and a balloon. Yes,
so correct. So they defensively
he goes on and on and on. She
gives us this explanation
without saying much. And then
somebody comes up with a very
interesting question for her.
And this is the UFO candidate
defense lady hem and haw,
this is Libra ministers David.
Lee, go ahead. Okay. Thank you.
Thanks, David. I wanted to ask
this, maybe a silly question.
But I think it's I didn't think
I'd ever asked this question. Is
there any indication that this
object is not terrestrial is not
from this world? There is it's
really to say anything that from
your right, I have not had that
question, Lee. So thank you for,
for asking it. There. From all
indications, this object is
potentially similar to the one
that was shot down off the coast
of North Carolina, though
smaller in size and cylindrical
in nature. That is the
information that we are working
with right now. But with further
analysis, we will know more and
be able to provide you with more
details. So.
So just to confirm, so it sounds
like it potentially was another
balloon is that is that what
we're being led to believe?
I will refer to that the item as
an object at this time. I am a
person that depends on facts,
and will not provide opinions
until I can ground them in some
sort of facts. So I'm going to
wait for the reports that I will
be getting relating to the
analysis of the debris.
Hmm, well, that that's not
exactly on message. It's
supposed to be you know, a
little more a little more vague.
It's just kind of supposed to
elude
Well, this guy this question
kind of screwed her over. So So
meanwhile, she brings on this
Canadian Air Force General,
who's whose last name, I believe
is air, which is a fascinating
name for Air Force guy. And he
seems to want to have nothing to
do with any of whatever the
charade is. And I have a
rationale for why this is going
on. And he just kind of blows
the whole thing up as it were.
And this is the UFO candidate
general, spoiling everything
that's successful downing of
this object all Jahad concern
about for more specifics, I will
ask the Chief of Defence Staff,
General Wayne air who's with me
this evening, if he would like
to add anything?
Is it name general wing air?
That was Wayne? Oh, that would
have been even better.
General Wayne air was with me
this evening. If he would like
to add anything. General air?
No, thanks, Minister. And,
David, to go to the specifics of
your question. There was an aim
9x missile from the F 22. Now
it's important to note that the
instructions that were given to
the the team was whoever had the
first best shot to take out the
balloon that had to go ahead.
It's also important to note that
aircraft are under the direction
of Canadian NORAD region. So a
Canadian general in Winnipeg was
was overseeing this, this
operation, albeit in a NORAD
context.
Just that was funny, by the way,
just just to kind of give you a
little more Canadian flavor. I
have about 37 seconds of
presence. Didn't Trudeau
announcing his his order to
shoot down yet yet?
I want you to play it but first
I have to say after that clip
the woman came back on with the
look of someone so irked she
came back on and it looked on
her look on her face was low we
were I went through all this
trouble of humiliating myself
did not say balloon did not say
balloon and then you come on and
say balloon she was steaming,
she was ear to smoke was coming
out of her ears.
That's a good observation and a
good point. So that shows that
that all intent here is to keep
it mysterious and very UFO.
Like, for whatever reason.
I have a potential reason.
We all have thoughts. But let's
first listen to just President
Justin Trudeau, who does not
look like Trudeau by the way. He
looks 15 or 20 years younger
than I've seen him in a long
time. Botox I was hair was
definitely a bit longer than
I've seen it recently. Or maybe
that's just
my American body double.
I'm thinking something like it
was it did not seem like him. It
seemed like a much younger
version.
Yesterday NORAD confirmed that
an unidentified object entered a
lawfully Canadian airspace.
Okay, so now we're definitely
not saying maybe a balloon here.
It represented a reasonable
threat to civilian aircraft. So
I gave the order to take it
down. Yeah, you ordered nothing
Justin. Canadian and American
fighter jets were scrambled,
Rambo and an American F 22.
Successfully shot down the
object. recovery teams are on
the ground.
Did you start it again. But now
as you're brought in, this is
information that is some screwy
about this guy. He sounds winded
Yes.
It doesn't sound the same. He
doesn't look this age. No, he
doesn't quite sound the same.
He's He's got it. Normally. He's
kind of forceful and it kind of
a route and he's got this kind
of relaxed bullcrap tone. Yeah.
That is hard to describe, but
didn't sound like this. He's
sounds like he just got through
a marathon.
Strangely enough his teeth. I
mean, I'm orally oriented these
days, because my own issues, his
teeth did not even look the
same. So something about this
clone is off.
recovery teams are on the
ground, looking to find and
analyze the object. This
afternoon, I also spoke with
President Biden and confirmed
together that we will continue
to do everything necessary to
protect the sovereignty of our
heirs of our shared North
American airspace.
Now notice he says of our our
shared North American airspace.
So this is partly a part of a an
overall just, you know, subtle
subtleness of North America.
It's really United States,
Canada and Mexico,
but also to do everything
necessary to keep our citizens
safe.
North American Union, you know,
I don't know, it just it felt
off. I just want to mention,
well, it
doesn't sound right now that you
mentioned it. Yeah. I didn't see
this. Boy, I probably did it
because they had it in bits and
pieces all over the place. And
this whole thing about keeping
the balloon. Well Can balloon so
is the other one. Can
we go to the Pentagon briefing?
Yeah, I want to hear what I had
some of that news, NBC clips.
What is Kirby right?
No, no, no, no, this is the
Pentagon? This is the Okay.
Okay, different guy. So, and
it's good audio. And it's it's
it's a very different kind of
briefing at the Pentagon. And
the reporters were asking pretty
good question. This is from
Friday. So this is after the
first aren't identified balloon,
I mean,
object when the pilot when the
pilots approached it, and they
determined, I understand that it
was not manned. How did they
determine that? And at that
point, wouldn't it be possible
to at least describe what they
were looking at? Did it resemble
a balloon or an aeroplane or
what?
Again, we'll know more and have
more information. Once we've
recovered this, I will give
credit to our pilots, that
they're very capable in terms of
looking at an object, assessing
whether or not this had the
potential to be manned at that
altitude, something that's
small, very, very unlikely that
it was manned. And so again, no
indication that it was manned,
presented presented a potential
reasonable threat to civilian
air traffic, and we took it
down.
What speed was it traveling it
by the way,
I don't have that information.
Okay, so it was floating. Let's
make sure it's not a balloon.
I just had a couple clarifying
questions. You You said that,
that the pilots were able to see
it, that it wasn't the same
shape or size as the balloon,
can you say definitively it was
not a balloon?
I don't at this point,
considering the fact
that little different than the
Canadian counterpart, we're
still assessing
the object. I don't want to get
into characterizing it. So just
leave it at that. Okay, you
mentioned you know, how fast was
traveling? Can you say it was
traveling faster or slower than
the balloon?
I don't have that information in
front of me. So I don't want to
make it up.
He doesn't have it in front of
him. But he knows.
Try a couple more. Um, did
anyone?
I'd love to try a couple more. I
love this.
Yeah, let's get back to his
balloon.
Um, did anyone tried to within
the administration contact their
Chinese counterparts before the
decision was made to shoot it
down?
In terms of when you say the
administration, if you're
referring to the White House,
I'd have to refer you to them.
The Department of Defense, to my
knowledge did not again, we
don't know the point of origin
of this object.
And was there any effort to jam
or somehow disable this object
before such that suppose less of
a,
so I don't want to get into
specific tactics or techniques
that we may or may not use when
observing these types of things
again, NORAD sent up aircraft to
observe to see what it was, and
then the ultimate decision was
made based on the reasonable
threat to civilian civilian air
traffic to take that
I just want to point out that is
contrary to what the Trudeau
clones said. He said, I gave the
order they scrambled the Jets
now they were already in the
air. So they were assessing what
it was, so he didn't get any
order to shoot down. They didn't
scramble anything. That's all
hyperbole. So next question,
there's still kind of on the
balloons here. The reporters are
having a hard time at the
Pentagon,
like these reporters better than
the ones that do the White
House. Much better.
And the answers are more
succinct and less, less filling.
When I asked you about the
overall program, you said,
You've been you've been learning
a lot about this balloon program
over the last couple years. Yet
the annual China report doesn't
have a peep about balloons in
there. You spend a lot of money
and effort but no balloons.
So here's here's a reporter who
has read something before he's
asking a question go figure
I won and China's balance of
power against them. satellites
and jets, but no balloons, why
not?
So So Tony, what I would say on
the
notice the notice that so Tony,
Tony, Tony, I know your name. So
Tony, what I would say is You
better
watch out Mr. On the
unclassified China power report.
Oh, that was unclassified.
Right? There's going to be
certain elements, intelligence
aspects in the unclassified
version that may not be included
in that particular report.
Oh, great. Um, because balloons
are so classified.
Oh, yeah. Blues are so
secretive. Yeah.
Oh, my God, blue horns, we can
talk. Tony, let me tell you
that, Tony, you know, that was
the unclassified version. But,
you know, you never know we had
in the classified version
important
in terms of what's in that
report, and what's not in that
report. Again, we can go back
and look at that. But I can tell
you, I can assure you that there
are a lot of activities that we
continue to monitor to include
this balloon program. And we've
learned a lot over the last
couple of years that the
classified version has the ones
in there, I'd have to go back
and look, I do not know the
answer to that.
He just gave the answer though.
I have to go back and look at
that. Okay, will you circle
back, we'll circle back. So we
know that this thing was
cylindrical in shape. They
classified it as about the size
of a car, you know, which makes
you you visualize? Know, Like, I
don't know, what should we say
like a bronco. You visualize a
Bronco hanging from something
that's whatever this but that it
was cylindrical. We heard that
and
they never said it was hanging
from anything. They just said it
was good boy, good point. Good
point. It was just a cylinder
little object. So let's see what
the result was up there by
itself.
Do you an Admiral Kirby know the
shape of this new object? And if
so, what is sort of the reason
for why you can't share it shape
before it was shot down?
Yeah, thank you. So in terms of
the shape, I don't know. I have
not seen any imagery of it. I'm
just telling you the verbal
characteristics as it was this
describe to me
it was probably a police a penis
balloon. Just floating around up
there. But whatever you do, call
it an object
when the when NORAD sent the
initial aircraft up to see was
there any sort of hailing or any
type of warning given typically
when an aircraft makes an
incursion into protected
airspace? There's a whole lot of
procedures that have to be
followed before it would
escalate to something like this.
Okay, well, this was an object,
right? So it wasn't an aircraft.
per se,
Oh, okay. Hay is an object.
Okay. So that was the Pentagon
briefing. I love how CNN Jim
Acosta, who has his own show,
what he's what he launched into
the ether was so much better
than this.
Interesting. This is kind of
unusual that these pilots saw
different things. And that is
sort of, I guess, adding to the
mystery of all this.
Yeah, not even the pilots
apparently, were really able to
identify what they saw. And just
to take you back for a sec. On
Thursday, the US defense
officials sent F 35 fighter jets
up to try to figure out what
this object was flying around
near Alaska. Those pilots we
have learned have given very
conflicting accounts of what
they actually experience was
some pilot saying that the
object interfered with the plane
sensors, other pilots saying
that they didn't really
experience that other pilots
saying that when they looked at
the object, they could identify
no identifiable, identifiable
propulsion system and they did
not know how it was actually air
cruising at that altitude of
about 40,000 feet. So this is
all added to the Pentagon's
weariness of describing in more
detail what this object actually
is until they can get more
information through the debris
that they are recovering right
now.
Yeah, no propulsion. It's a
balloon. Okay. It's a penis
shaped balloon. I don't like
was a penis shaped cylindrical
yet? This cylindrical object was
hanging from the balloon?
No, there's no mention of
anything hanging from anything.
You just said that yourself.
Know that? No, the point is, is
that there was something there
was a balloon with something
hanging from it. And that's what
they're trying to describe. They
shot the balloon, nothing comes
down and they're gonna go pick
it up. That's what happened. It
was another Chinese balloon.
They don't want to prom with the
Chinese. They just want for some
reason the public is not allowed
to think any more about the
Chinese balloon because the
Chinese are gonna have a big
meeting with Yellen. And they
don't want anyone to interrupt
it. This is bankers. They're
gonna get together and they're
gonna divvy up the world and
they don't need any aggravation
with some damn Chinese balloons
anymore. The Chinese balloon
thing is off the table. Don't
talk about it. Make it sound
like a flying saucer do
anything.
And this is your this is your
conclusion. It's what it's
about. Yeah. Yellen. Is that our
clip? Here Yellen.
Yeah, here's Yellen. She said
this is not covered too much.
But Yellen. The last time there
was a Chinese balloon they had
to interrupt a meeting. And it
was like maybe it was important.
Maybe it wasn't this meeting is
important.
China's as their welcomes US
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
is willingness for a visit. A
spokesperson for the commerce
ministry says it's important
that the two countries maintain
communication, noting that
Chinese Vice Premier Li or her
held constructive talks with
Yellen at the Davos Forum in
Switzerland last month. She
added that China opposes the US
to impose unreasonable sanctions
on Chinese companies in
violation of Market Economy and
International trade rules. Well,
that's
interesting. So we both have a
conclusion of what this is about
that is ultimately based on
finance. Is what you're saying
this is something about the
finance system. Yeah, it's
finance. All right. Well, well,
I love that we both were coming
at it from different angles. I
have historical receipts to say
that I believe you may be right.
The one of the most notorious
economists in finance in the
United States is of course, Paul
Krugman. Paul Krugman, a
favorite. In fact, the favorite
economist of the former New York
banker, he always loves crazy,
Krugman is really a good he's a
good economist. And I think we
think he's a douche. And he's I
think he's a spook too well, and
he has everything wrong. He's
wrong most of the time. Yeah.
However, 10 years ago, as we
were nearing the end of the
Great Recession, he had a theory
on how to fix everything, which
of course, kind of did happen,
but not really in the way. I
mean, it's shoved everything
under the rug. And now 10 years
later, we know that why do we
have all these horrible finance
things happening is because they
never cleaned up what they did
in the 2008 2009 1011 12. And he
took this theory, not yet
everywhere, he used this, it's
just got a minute of it. He used
this theory on multiple shows
PBS. Even while Bill Maher would
be kind of a funny show, but he
meant it and this is him on
Fareed Zakaria's show, the anti
constitutionalist douche who was
also on CNN, but a serious
program so you don't you don't
make jokes on Zakaria show. And
this is what Paul Krugman idea
was to save the finance system.
The first time it was in trouble
again, maybe Boston's Big Dig
was listed. was fine after all,
think about World War Two,
right? That was not that was
actually negative for social
product spending. And yet it
brought us out. I mean, partly
because you want to put these
things together, if we say,
Look, we could use some
inflation. Ken and I are both
saying that which is of course
anathema to a lot of people and
in Washington, but it's in fact,
what the basic logic says, it's
very hard to get inflation in a
depressed economy. But if you
had a program of government
spending, plus an expansionary
policy by the Fed, you could get
that so if you think about using
all of these things together,
you could accomplish, you know,
a great deal and if we if we
discovered that, you know, space
aliens were planning to attack
and we needed a massive buildup
to counter the space alien
threat. And really, inflation
and budget deficits took
secondary place to that this
slump would be over in 18
months. And then if we
discovered oops, we made a
mistake there aren't actually
any so we need art and better
what you're saying. Oh, that's
that's a there was a Twilight
Zone episode like this in which
scientists fake the alien threat
in order to achieve world peace
Well, this time we don't need
it. We need it in order to get
some fiscal stimulus.
I'm all in on that. I mean, you
have inflation but maybe he
wants more I think this is the
Krugman playbook.
Well, this idea about lying
about some balloons and then
trying to bring space aliens
into the picture isn't going to
work a lot. No, it's not going
to work on you. It's just what
bothers me I you know, whether
or not there's some screwball
scheme afoot what bugs me the
most is that there because
anyone who heard the the general
from Canada so as the shutdown
the balloon boom, blew it up
blew up the whole light you
know, the whole scam, but why
did they continue with this and
then a cost this eclipse, which
really make this very
suspicious? What what is the
point of the news media going in
this direction instead of trying
to get to the bottom because
they're told to do this
obviously. Well, the people
obviously the Yes, but the news
media that was covering that
weren't covering the Pentagon.
Those clips were great because
they were trying to they
probably knew, I don't think any
of them heard the generals say
it was a balloon because that
was pretty obscure, but they
don't find out about it. It's
just I don't understand what is
the point of of this kind of
obfuscation because of some
couple more balloons floating
around? How about that it's
gonna screw up the meetings are
we are the public's gonna get
all pissed off at the Chinese
and you can't go meet with
Yeltsin or No, it just is
bothersome to me that the media
and since I played the Al
Jazeera clip, it goes
International is all in on this
and they're just there. It's
just a disservice to the public.
What the mainstream media is
disturbing the public.
Let's listen gambling. Let's
listen to
the BBC. The Canadian Prime
Minister Justin Trudeau
has said the United States
military fighter jet acting on
his orders has shot down a high
altitude airborne objects over
northwestern Canada. Here's our
North America correspondent
Peter burrows.
Notice how we get the Brits and
they take our guys, it's amazed
Justin
Trudeau said he ordered the
shooting down of an annoyance a
Brit identified object that had
violated Canadian airspace. In a
tweet he confirmed that Canadian
and US aircraft was scrambled
and that an F 22 fighter jet
successfully fired at the
object. Mr. Trudeau said he'd
spoken with President Biden and
that Canadian forces would now
recover and analyze the wreckage
and military mission is also
continuing on sea ice off the
Alaskan town of Deadhorse. To
recover debris from the other
unspecified airborne object shot
down on Friday. In a statement
the US Northern Command said
that operation was moving slowly
due to freezing temperatures,
snow and limited daylight.
Officials said they still had no
further information to offer
about the purpose and origin of
the object, which was earlier
said to be about the size of a
small car. Peter burrows with
that report
out just coming in breaking from
Bloomberg. China getting ready
to take down an unidentified
object flying over waters near
the port city of Queen Dow which
is home to a major naval base
for the People's Liberation Army
Chinese news outlet the paper
reported shows how they're
everywhere. This just came out.
It was interesting is they NBC
report I think was in the second
half of these clips. I didn't
have it but Biden comes on and
says that he ordered he ordered
it shot down. I think I have
that so I think the news media
should go after that little
contradiction. Let's see this.
Was he ordered it and you say
you ordered it. I'm going to
love to hear what they have to
say about that. Here's
the seat now. I think see did
CBS break this because that's
what we need to know who broke
it who was the breaking. It's
got to be CBS. This is such an
Intel operation one way or the
other. It if they if they really
don't want him to know about it,
they can just get rid of it. I
don't know. Let's listen to CB
here
in Washington also the
extraordinary rebuke in
Congress. The house today voted
unanimously 419 to zero to
condemn China for its Newly
uncovered balloon surveillance
program. Okay, so it's the
surveillance program.
CBS is David Martin is at the
Pentagon tonight with new
details on the highly
sophisticated spying equipment
that was found on that balloon.
I just want to point out that
unlike balloon one, which I and
we have some interesting
aviation aviator clips listen to
no one has seen balloon two or
balloon three there was no video
it's just in our mind. It's the
size of a car it's cylindrical.
No one has seen it it got shot
down you know there's there's no
video like the in the water of
the first one. It could be a
total it could be 100% Bullshit.
We don't even know if it's true.
Would you agree with me?
Well listening to the Canadian
general and who seemed like a
pretty no nonsense guy he said
it was shot down specifically by
a specific missile. Yeah, I
think it was true. I think there
was a balloon I think there was
another one in Alaska I don't
think this was a complete
fabrication.
Okay, let's continue with CBS
as FBI evidence teams started
shipping pieces of the balloons
wreckage off to the lab US
officials said underwater
pictures clip
you have to go back now because
she says specifically will be
when she introduced this guy
who's always been connected.
Play the beginning of that first
part of that clip again because
there's something else stopped
when it when it gets to it. They
specifically said that they
haven't recovered this the stuff
that's at the bottom of the
ocean yet that I know of. Have
they? Yeah,
it's so confusing. I've only
seen them pulling pieces of
balloon into the boat. Yeah, and
this is balloon one right? This
is the one we know is yeah, this
one we're talking about talking
about balloon one by balloon
here in Washington also the
extraordinary rebuke in
Congress. The house today voted
unanimously 419 to zero to
condemn China for its Newly
uncovered balloon surveillance
program.
I just want to ask what is the
point of Congress stopping their
busy day to vote on condemning a
spy balloon program? Do we
really need a vote? It was
anyone gonna was it was Rand
Paul gonna vote against it? I
mean, I don't understand. Why
did he need a vote? Of course
we're, of course we don't want
Chai if it's true, we don't want
no reason.
You're absolutely correct. This
is bogus. Thank you.
CBS David Martin is at the
Pentagon tonight with new
details on the highly
sophisticated spying equipment
that was found on that balloon.
Okay, right
there. Yeah, highly
sophisticated
spying you know it's highly if
they haven't dug it they're
still dragging this stuff off
the bottom of the
ocean. David Martin. He CBS Why
do you question it citizen.
As FBI evidence teams started
shipping pieces of the balloons.
They got pieces of it wreckage
off to the lab lab US officials
said to
the lab. What lab but then
it's taken it off to the lab.
How did he know it's highly
sophisticated?
Underwater pictures of the
debris show the electronics it
was carrying survived the fall
from 60,000 feet mostly intact.
I haven't seen this picture they
got pictures they have pictures
I'm not saying
they already have a good idea of
what divers will find because
before the balloon was shot down
you to spy planes flew by taking
high resolution photos of what
officials described as an array
of antennas for intercepting
communications.
I get that information
is the Pentagon tree I want to
use other words with this is
probably the Congress that I'm
not going to have you guys have
to help me understand why this
baby wasn't taken out long
before Oh, here we go. Oh, this
is this is military industrial
complex time ladies and
gentlemen. I have I'm so angry
there's words I could use Why
don't you guys take it out? His
No.
You're missing the real good
point. Why wasn't this baby
taken out? Is that what he said?
Yeah, ah, well, what kind of
work yeah, and what world is
let's say he was saying
that I'm not going to you guys
have to help me understand why
this baby wasn't taken out long
before
Wow, that's a good catch. John,
what kind of baby Why would you
use that term? This baby this
baby like little fat man. And
what baby What baby? Yes,
that's I John tester is the
Democratic senator from Montana,
where the balloon hovered over a
field of 150 silos, housing
intercontinental ballistic
missiles, apparently trying to
listen in on the communications
use With the command and control
of nuclear weapons
know that I got a problem. Oh,
please, you need a balloon to
apparently listen in on the
communications.
How about word Bronco out in
front of
one of those Viper things get
the self I mean come on that
seems a little incredulous used
for the command and control of
nuclear weapons. Yeah, because
that's all you need is you need
a balloon, you can pick up the
command and control of nuclear
weapons
I got a problem with with a
Chinese balloon flying over my
state, much less the rest of the
country soon after the balloon
was spotted in the sky.
What the heck, what does that
mean? Much less the rest of the
country. Or maybe it just means
you're missing. I got a problem
with flying over my state much
less. Right?
It's just a phrase. It's a funny
phrase.
Plus the rest of the countries
does soon after the balloon was
spotted in the sky. But what the
heck is that? A US official said
it stopped hovering over the
missile field and proceeded
across the rest of the country.
Apparently abandoning its spy
mission, but still communicating
with controllers back. Wait a
minute, I
know that they're building the
story for us right here talk
about a narrative that is
unproven. It's just It's just
ridiculous.
I love it. I love it.
According to US officials, China
has a fleet of high altitude
balloons, which military has
used as a cheap alternative to
satellites to fly over some 40
countries around the world? Oh,
it's because
satellites are expensive. China
can't afford them. This
is a best price. This is a
Chinese version. Oh no Chinese
cannot afford it. Satellite. We
got best price we do balloon
while the public now. Now let's
I want to play these clips from
aviation is racist. What you
Yeah, the way you characterize
it, but yeah. So Aviation Week
has has a podcast with editors
of the magazine. And these are
people you know, balloon pilots
are also aviators. So this
there's a lot of knowledge about
balloons and how they work. And
there were some very interesting
questions that they raised in,
I've got three clips here. So
first about about the original
spy balloon, the there's
something that we don't know
anything about balloons other
than you love them, and I won't
fly in them because they land in
controlled crash. But here's,
here's the here's something that
neither of us knew
this balloon was different than
all the others that we've seen
before, in the sense that it
still used what appeared to be
that super pressure, pumpkin
shaped envelope, helium envelope
that we've seen with other types
of this kind of ultra long
endurance balloon. But it had,
instead of having this
translucent fabric in the
envelope, it had an opaque
envelope. And that's that's
pretty important because it
means that they figured out a
way to reflect the energy from
the sun away from the balloon,
so that the solar energy didn't
go into the the helium inside
the gas bag, increase the
temperature of that helium,
which increases the pressure,
which then causes the balloon to
explode. You know, that's why
all the previous balloons we've
seen like those have been
translucent at those altitudes
and and for those durations. So
allow that solar energy to pass
through the balloon and minimize
the amount of heat that gets
created within the helium
structure itself. So for them to
be able to figure out how to do
that and keep the overall weight
of that structure that fabric
structure down to a point where
they can still have a useful
payload and look like that a
pretty substantial payload you
know is is is impressive
achievement that people are
going to try to be figuring out
in the especially in the high
altitude balloon community.
The first of all, it's fun to
know there's a high altitude
balloon community.
Wow. Well, that's probably the
most important thing is getting
the debris of the balloon
itself. Yeah, with that outer
fabric was I think it was silk.
Could be
Chinese and silk very calm
the New Silk Road. Yes, it's in
the air as well. Well, then
there was a question about the
the shoot down and how you would
actually do this with the
weapons that were used as
a 200 foot tall balloon, any
holes you put in it even with 20
millimeter rounds from a f 22
cannon. You know, it's just
going to leak out and it will
take several days for the
balloon to actually descend to
the ground. So
that's part of the answer that
we were seeking is well why
don't you shoot the balloon and
cricket because it would take a
lot even with an F 22 missile or
rocket as he said, it would take
several days for it to deflate
and float down to the ground. So
there's the if they
shot the balloon with the With
the Bullets Over Montana, they
could have attracted all the way
to the ground and picked it up
intact. Yeah, but they did,
because it was two days that did
at least two days. Yeah.
So that's one issue. So then you
have to go to missiles. But then
what do you aim at the, you
know, that helium balloon itself
is a void, you know, so even if
the missile hits it dead on
target, it will just pass
through it. And there's a
potential I won't even fuse and
explode. So what they did, of
course, was they aimed, it
appears at the superstructure
truss, below the balloon, where
they could get a heat return or
a heat signature for that
imaging infrared speaker on an A
9x. And that was early enough to
do it. But even then, nobody's
tested in a 9x, at 50,000 feet,
from an F 22, or any other
aircraft, or you just don't have
dogfights at that at that
altitude,
interesting display of weaponry
of using this and showing how
effective it is, could have also
been a sales pitch for all we
know.
So well, they use the same
missile on that one in Canada,
you know,
as the A 9x is ascending from
50,000 feet launchpoint, up to
the target somewhere between 60
and 65,000 feet, that's the
that's the most detail we've
gotten where the target actually
was. You know, it may have to
maneuver or do some terminal
maneuvers and the end game now
this is not, you know, the
balloon is not evading and it's
not running away. So it's, you
know, it's still a pretty easy
target. But would it have enough
authority in its control
surfaces up there, and that very
thin air to actually hit that
target? Obviously, it did. And,
you know, and they probably
weren't worrying too much about
it at that point. But I bet that
they were probably doing some
pretty hardcore analysis in that
three or four day period between
when, you know, they started
looking at it and got the
authorization to shoot it down.
And when they actually shut it
down, because I started saying,
you know, if they missed that
shot, you know, just how bad
that would have looked in front
of the entire world, with video
cameras clearly showing the
first shot missing or the second
shot missing, and maybe getting
it on the third one.
I just thought that was
interesting, because
that's interesting, for a couple
of reasons. One, it may have
they may have decided to shoot
it down over Montana. But then
this public relations issue a
pro while we've never been able
to use that missile for this and
that, oh god that they had to
have all these meetings, right.
So as by the time they got
around to it, it was off the off
the coast.
meetings.
And then that explains why they
missed the shoot downs over
Canada and the Yukon, or I'm
sorry, Alaska and the Yukon.
Were they right away because
they already knew the missile
worked. Right. Right. Didn't
dilly dally. Well, and
there's that's the last clip
here How interesting. NORAD
also had project Pathfinder,
where they went back for other
reasons. And we've analyzed all
the radar data, and use machine
learning and AI algorithms to
refine how they how they can
tell the difference on secondary
and primary and primary radars
between aircraft and birds and
birds, so that they don't have
some of the mistakes that
they've made in, in previous
years with that, that might have
filtered into this as well. But
once they the characteristics of
this, wait, what?
Yes,
we've been shooting birds know
you've worked with kind of
mistakes that these some poor
Pelican going bike and hit by
one of these things. Hey, man,
we're glad we could tweak the
algo save the Pelican tweaked
algo
in previous years with that,
that might have filtered, let's
go back. And will that was
pretty funny. So that they don't
have some of the mistakes that
they've made in in previous
years. With that,
I guess. So. I guess they've
shot some bird. My birds aren't
real. No, we all know the birds
aren't
filtered into this as well. But
once they had the
characteristics of this new
balloon, you know, and were able
to analyze it very specifically,
they could probably go back
through their their radar data
and identify other cases very
specifically.
So that problems are the first
one probably helped them get the
radar signature, so they could
figure out and so they could
know what's a balloon. It's a
balloon people. But yeah, that
is not the narrative. The
narrative is questioning what is
it? Oh, whoa, whoa, no obvious
propulsion mechanism.
No. It's a nice magic.
What flies without an obvious
propulsion mechanism I it's hard
to think of one of the first
things that ever was airborne in
history. Manmade was a balloon.
You Now Oh man it but it makes
it exciting and I love that
China now has won and we it's
well documented that we have
high though to buy the program
you brought some of that up
earlier which is this maybe the
whole thing was a hoax which I
don't think so. But it's quite
possible that the Chinese one is
a hoax just to balance things
out Sure. Sure. So they can have
their little financial meetings
divvy up the world who knows
what's going on? I don't know
what Yeltsin and his guy
Yeltsin, Yeltsin, Janet of all
people,
Janet Yeltsin. It's Yellen
may stay with the LCM. With you,
I'm with Yeltsin. I think
Yeltsin is funny so I guess
we know her name is Yellen. So
she said the head of a melon so
she had a meeting with somebody
with a Chinese guy in Davos and
they guess they were having a
good time yak and yeah, and they
decided on something and they
have to finish this off I guess
they had to go to so she's gonna
I don't know what's gonna happen
but I it's very suspicious.
That's just fantastic night was
not the narrative or the
public's getting whatever's
going on with China.
Yeah, but we'll see. I love this
this morning's with Bloomberg.
So it was launched properly.
They sent this center press
release to the right outlets,
because Bloomberg will make a
difference over print anything
and so what the crazy especially
it has to do with climate
change. I don't know what this
is the China over the port. So I
don't know. I don't know. But
there was all kinds of great
stuff and I love that they're
gonna, you know, they're feeding
the algos. Because, of course
that means that the answers for
our defense come from chat GPT
you know, is it a bird? Is it a
plane? Is it a balloon? I'm
asking the question, please try
GPT can I be of assistance?
Yeah. Do we shoot it down or
not? So then we have I would say
as predicted the massive failure
of this chat GPT bowl crap. I
mean, of epic proportions. It.
You even said that this Google
Bard, which you immediately said
Google barf which I love because
now I use it everywhere the
Google barf out. That bought
failed. a multibillion dollar
duel is underway to be the front
door of the internet of race
start Microsoft it's Microsoft
vs bar for official intelligence
will surround conversations with
its software and search engine
Bing bagel race to announced
similar plans both tech giants
trying to change the internet
from a world in which we
navigate between webpages to one
where interactive discussions
with chatbots gives us
information for a generation.
Google has been the verb for
finding things online, and it
commands more than 90% of the
search engine market. But
Microsoft thanks to its
partnership with chat GBT maker
open AI is on the attack. Now
let's see what happened Friday
after our show. It definitely is
an arms race
being as Rocket arms raster
charts. So much of the world is
organized around serving Google
and understand what people are
searching for in Google,
Chinese tech giants Baidu and
Alibaba also plan to debut new
AI technology. But while
chatbots look authoritative AI
can make mistakes. Google's own
demo for its new chatbot called
Bard included a basic factual
error. And research has shown
that AI trained to mimic human
language picks up our biases.
critics worry the race to make
money from AI technology is
moving too fast.
I would love to hear a CEO
saying we've got the research
we're capable of making. But
we're pausing. And we urge
others to do so as well, instead
of just saying, Oh, we're going
to outrace the other
but with billions that started.
The race is already on.
Yeah. That woman sounds just
like a woman that used to be at
NPR and said advertising or
whatever you call it. Yeah. It's
a milieu of these women.
Oh, PR ladies.
Yeah, can I kind of put there
also a lot of executives with
this voice, this intonation.
This is a joke. Hold on
a second. Hello. I have that
clip.
Okay, moving on to money, how
corporate underwriting revenues
holding up in the recession. And
yeah, she's just, but of course
it was Jill, I think who gave
what about foundation
grants to different stories.
Underwriting is underwriting is
is down it's down for everybody.
Let's listen to the lady over
here. urge others to do so as
well instead of
sounds more like a person
answering asking the question.
Yeah, you're more like a
journalist. That would be right,
because PR people mostly
Okay, moving on to money. How
are NPR is positive and we urge
others to do so as well. Well,
instead of just saying, Oh,
we're going to outrageous
corporate underwriting revenue
holding good and what about
foundation grants
got to finish in
two different stories.
Underwriting is underwriting is
is down, it's down for
everybody. I mean, this is this
is the this is the area that is
most down for us is in is in
sponsorship, underwriting
advertising, call it whatever
you want. Yeah,
saw the same thing. Now, what I
loved about this is so Google
presents Google barf. It fails,
the first question that was
asked it answers incorrectly.
Because some scientist says hold
that was incorrect. The stock
drops 9% $100 billion valuation
wiped off. That was a mistake
$100 billion in with one one
stupid question. And this is the
point is
Yeah. But don't you have to
consider the possibility that
was meant to answer the question
wrong. So to get get off this
track, because as you pointed
out, this is not good for
advertising.
It's not good for anything. But
I I, you know, I think that
Google is much more on the ropes
than we know. If you they still
spend $13 billion a quarter on
traffic acquisition costs $13
billion to get people to come to
Google, so they can advertise to
them. That's a lot of money. As
they're they're doing a version
with everyone does of arbitrage.
What does it cost me to get some
people over here? How much can I
make on the ads? But, but for
some reason, this chat GPT had
caught the marketing. It's and I
think it's also partially
venture capital venture capital
firms, venture capitalists who
are, in my opinion, mostly
moronic. They, oh, oh, oh, I'm
gonna be example. Remember, we
had pod show. And, and we had
Kleiner Perkins as one of our
investors, one of the, at the
time, one of the big shots,
one of the big shots along with
Sequoia, but we dealt more and
Ray Lane Ray Lane was our
partner that we dealt with was,
you know, the May he had run
Oracle as president, famous,
very famous guy. And so it was
in fact, the woman who later
sued for sexual harassment. What
was her name?
I can't remember. Ilan.
Ellen Powell, Ellen Powell. I'm
gonna say Pow,
pow. Pow. I can't think of when
No, I think it was Ellen Powell.
Yeah. Was Ellen Powell. So we're
in the middle floating around
writing books. And she's
Oh, yeah. So we're sitting there
in the meeting. And yeah, and
we're building pod show. And at
the time, things were popping,
things were happening. And along
came juiced. Do we remember
juiced j which was some kind of
it was from the makers of Skype,
which is, which is the only
reason why they got any
attention. And it was some kind
of, you know, like, this is a
video streaming thing. It was
very, I can't even explain what
it was. But in the meeting, it's
and where is it in the meeting?
Yeah, you should really make it
more like juiced. Yeah, juice,
like, has to be like juice. And
we're like, What are you talking
about, and by the way, Ron blue
and then went off and turned it
into me vo to make it look like
YouTube. So mistakes are made
all the time everywhere. Whereas
podcasting is still here, I
might point out, so when you
when you get this chat GPT and
you got to PA man chat, chat.
GPT, Microsoft invested in Amen.
And that Elon Musk has that yet.
GPT. Look at it. Look at it.
It's doing poems. It's writing
term papers. We need to have
this on Google. No worries, said
Sundar Pichai, who clearly knows
that this is not artificial. He
knows what artificial
intelligence is. And he knows
that it's far and you know,
machine learning. He knows
there's applications. This is a
parlor trick. Just because it's
typing out and you think that
it's you're talking to a human
This is great. And he says,
Okay, off, we can do that. We
got Google barf. It fails,
right? No, maybe Maybe you're
right. Maybe you're right. But I
have story after story of Google
is losing control. Google loses
$100 billion of market value
after chatbox incorrectly enters
question about Webb Space
Telescope. There's apparently a
fairly easy one. So this may
just be these companies. I've
said it before they do go away.
Big companies, they do end and
new ones come in and replace it.
And Google was the darling when
we were all using Alta Vista.
That was that was the Search
Engine and Google came in and
they had their algo their
algorithm which was the you know
how many Have inbound links does
a website have, and that would
be deemed the top of the search
results. And they also did it
fast because that was their main
marketing is this, this got to
you in 1.2 seconds. That was
that was all part of what Google
was. And at
this speed was a big deal. But I
think people that smart money
was using Alta Vista, but the
public in general is using
Yahoo.
Sure, then look where that went.
Same thing. Yahoo, AOL, MySpace,
you can go on and on. It does
happen the new thing, which of
course is tick tock, then you
notice tick tock is not doing
any of that. Doing. They know
how it works. They have humans,
they have idiots who go oh, you
Oh, look at this fool. This is
the restaurant you want to eat
at. So, which we know from
research is true. One in two
people go to Tiktok before they
go to Google to search for
stuff. So Google is in trouble.
And they've also overdone it
with sponsored links and paid
for links and stuff they own.
And the whole thing, of course,
is a giant scamp. So I love that
this is happening. This is
really funny and try to try to
make out we got a cool note from
someone in the language
business. I see. Meg sees Meg
Meg I think internet. I've been
thinking about chat GPT a lot
late even lately and have
enjoyed your discussions and
insights on the show. There's a
concept in linguistics called
poverty of the stimulus, which
refers to children who acquire a
language despite having an
incomplete exposure to that
language. That is they never
hear all the words in context
and often hear ungrammatical
bits of language, yet they still
acquire language to a high level
chat. GPT is trained on a much
more complete dataset than any
human. The bot can mimic
language, sometimes producing,
quote, better output than a
human. But she says I believe
the fundamentally human thing
about language is that we learn
to speak with a vastly inferior
dataset. So not until they
meaning Google barf and
Microsoft and everyone else,
train a chatbot to use language
with poverty, written written
stimulus like us, I think they
will be on to something. I think
that's very interesting. And
that is probably one of the
things that we noticed
inherently. When when when these
things right right out to talk
to you. It doesn't sound human
because it's too much. It's to
the the resolution of the speech
is too high. Does that make
sense?
Well, I can't say it makes
sense. But it's, I can see it
being at play in play, because
that's what she claims it means.
I like it.
Now how about this?
I liked the observation
that Well, I have a boots on the
ground from someone in the
voiceover and audio book
business. How about that?
Yeah. Now you're talking I have
a little boots on the ground for
AI and voiceover. I'm a newer
audio book NARRATOR It's a side
gig for me three to five books a
year. The expense the training
learning the technical side and
actual time spent is intense.
This this is insight that I
didn't have I'm very pleased
that our this is Hello, this is
no agenda show. Our producers
are boots on the ground. Go read
our mission statement. You can
see that this is how we operate.
We
have someone in every field of
expertise.
I'm waiting for my balloon
wireless. I'm
waiting for the balloon pilots
to show up. Yes, we probably
have one.
Oh definitely. The expense of
the truck. I said it for an
eight hour book. It can take
five times the amount of time
that I can believe that
narrators make money three ways.
Pfh which is per finished hour
by royalty only or smaller Pfh.
So per finished hour, plus
royalty. A lot of newer
narrators do royalty only to get
their foot in the door. My
experience is very difficult to
actually make money on that. I
no longer do royalty only I
believe it too. Not to mention
because I'm sure they screw you
just like the record business.
It's the whole thing everything
everything. Yeah, of course
not to mention delivering
compelling, compelling
storytelling and trying to do
weird character voices. My
Voiceover colleagues especially
in audiobooks are in an absolute
uproar over AI. Find a way
voices is a large audio book
distribution hub. Think of a
dating website for authors and
narrators plus the distribution
to all places audio books are
sold. Find a way voices who are
now connected to Spotify has
language buried in their
contract that states the audio
provided may be used to assist
to assist machine learning for
Apple
Oh, yeah. Yeah, I see where
that's going. But I think I have
a counter argument to what our
friend here has to say, Okay.
Hello, I'm listening waiting for
your counter argument. Oh, I
tell you, I tell you, you're
still reading from him.
Doesn't matter. But. So the
there is more. But the point is,
well, yeah, here's, let me just
finish it. It's it's opt out of
the contract. So unless you know
about what's going, what's going
on, when you read this, they can
use that your voice unless you
opt out of the contract to be
trained for AI. And as far as I
can see, also use the samples
from your voice that and I have
the language here. So I believe
that that is,
I believe, yes, I do believe
that will be what they're gonna
do, yes, then they're gonna do
with actor scenario. And that's
where you have to be on the top,
you have to be on the head of
that you have to be ahead of
this. Yeah. But my thinking was
the following that the voice guy
can do train his own voice into
the AI and then have when he's
given an assignment to read a
book, use the AI and then clean
it up later, instead of spending
40 hours on an AI on what would
he say was 10 to five to 110 to
155 times five to one says,
instead of spending 50 hours on
it on a 10 hour read, just have
the don't spend any time just
have your phony voice, do the
read and then go in and clean it
up or you have to do little
voices and stuff, do a cut ins,
and it would probably take half
done by the time it takes right
now. That's what I was thinking.
So that works once and then it's
all done. I mean, it's clear
that you are right. No,
not not if it's in the contract.
Here's what has to happen. I've
said this on the show before I'm
gonna say it again. There has to
be new laws written so your
voice your distinctive voice is
copy written and owned by you.
Yeah, I'm in agreement with
that. But guess what, that's not
going to happen fast enough.
It's all it's just look, we have
Chinese balloons. got no time
for this. We have need
resolutions to say we disagree
with blown
just tell you this has to be
done immediately. Yeah,
no dream on. That's not going to
happen. It is going to happen
immediately. No. Not gonna
happen immediately. It's
gonna happen quick.
Nah, okay. Well, I hope so.
Because you're the first one to
go.
To use a phony. Yes, you are
used to me but on the new, the
new no agenda show somehow.
Without John C. Dvorak. Yes,
Adam, you're totally correct.
Why did you say John?
I don't think you're right.
That in fact, we're not it's
only gonna be John C Dvorak
anymore. It's gonna be my
sidekick. Thank you, Adam. I
love working with you. You're
good you're on the money there
you so much better than John I
know his rubbers were loose. So
you know it's really I can do
this all day. In fact, I don't
even come don't even come on the
next show
so there's that dead button is
on the I made this
one. I made this one myself. I
tuned it is not standard. You
got to use the systems there was
an update so of course I was
playing with it. That's my
that's my that's I
liked that guy.
Thank you, John. This is our
exit strategy. Sometimes I'm on
Z 100
That guy is good. Isn't he is a
guy I like it when we get to
give him a name.
Okay, well, how about a name?
Can I be of assistance? Okay,
what's his name? We got to give
him a name.
I think it's Zippy comes to
mind.
I'm zippy. Zippy. Zippy, the AI
of the no agenda show?
Yeah. Alright. Zippy in the
house, zippy. Zippy is now our
official co host when whenever
we need information we can
always call on Zippy because as
we know Zippy is always right.
I'm glad you like it.
Unexpected.
I think people that listen to
this show have to think to
themselves. Podcasts is not as
easy as it sounds right.
Thank you. Thank you. It's 40
years of experience here ladies
and gentlemen.
I have the Zippy character just
show up on the show out of the
blue.
Well, you know, it's zippy, how
do you have your character show
up on the podcast out of the
blue? Why? Because it's the best
podcast in the universe. There
you go.
You know what it's a little like
this guy know, Freddie the fire
hose or whatever they guys know.
It's ready to fire walk. Hey, I
don't
like that guy. It's me now.
Debbie I think Zippy is a little
more upbeat. And what's the
boy he's totally zippy.
Positive Yeah, positive. That's
it's a little more like this is
almost like an audio version of
a ventriloquist. Yeah, that's
what it is. Is it any point if
he can come excuse me, I gotta
say something shut up for a
second zippy. No, I got
something important to say. All
right. What do you want to say?
Nothing. There you go. Yeah. You
know, this is a whole new
podcast.
Oh, he has three people. We've
got three. Dummy. Woodhead,
Johnny.
Marty can even write bits for
him. I mean, now Margaret, and
that's what Marty is going to be
good at. No, we have to temper
Zippy though, but thank you. We
have a name. Zippy is in the bag
right now. So the I think we
just have to talk for a moment
about the pushback the enormous
pushback on see more Hirsch's
substack article about who
blowed up the North Stream to
pipeline. Yeah,
I read it after the show. And
what did you What did you think?
It's very classic Seymour Hersh.
Lot of confidential sources. A
little, a little bit of
embellishment, I believe, but
not too much. I think he's gone
to money. I think generally
speaking, he blew this out of
the water. I did is a little
different than that read earlier
thesis that it was UK. There was
a couple of there was a number
of things. But this was this
made the most sense. And coming
from him and it was well put
together. I'd liked it a lot. I
think he's he nailed it. And got
no play.
Well, it got pushed back is what
uh, got it. So first, there was
a press briefing at the State
Department. So Jake Sullivan was
taking it on and it's the audio
sounds a little thin. I'm not
sure what happened. Why, why?
Why it's so Theano. From the
microphone that the journalist
and no, Matt, by the way, I was
I was waiting for Matt to show
up with a question, but I
haven't found one of him of his
yet. This is one of the one of
the reporters who I recognize
from the State Department
briefing room. And here's here's
a snippet.
I'm sure you're aware of the new
report from Seymour Hersh, how
America took up the Nord Stream
pipeline and the White House's
denial of any involvement given
the long standing opposition to
the pipeline, Secretary
Clinton's calling its demise a
tremendous opportunity. And
Secretary under secretaries of
state no one's saying that the
US officials were pleased with
the production of the pipeline,
especially the secret of
investigation. Do you think the
US government's denial of
involvement is credible? I
absolutely do. And I repeated
here. Let me follow up on that,
if I might, have you or anybody
else in the State Department
have any communication with
German Norwegian ambassadors or
other allies or officials on
this matter, on the matter of
Nord Stream to on the matter of
the latest allegations? Which
apparently, it is source, it is
a fairly it is it would be would
not be? It would it would not be
typical for us to engage allies
and partners on something that
is utter and complete nonsense,
and
I love this. So, no, of course,
we wouldn't engage allies and
other other entities on
something that's nonsense is so
good.
It would not be typical for us
to engage allies and partners on
something that is utter and
complete nonsense. And that
should be rejected out of hand
by anyone who is looking at it
through through an objective
lens. Yes, go ahead. With one
more aspect on this. One of the
allegations that are made is
that it was taken off the CIA in
order to prevent involvement of
oversight as a covert operation
to meet the peace. I'm familiar
with familiar with it. One of
his allegations is that it was
taken off the ground rather than
let this this propaganda be
aired in the briefing room,
rather than let this propaganda
be aired in the briefing room or
operation.
Did you read the piece? I'm
familiar with it. One of his
allegations is that it was taken
off Route rather than let this
this propaganda be aired in the
briefing room. Let me just say
it is a fundamental
misunderstanding of oversight in
our US Congress beyond getting
his facts entirely wrong as he
has before in very high profile
ways. It is a fundamental
misunderstanding suggest that
I love to discredit station
here, rather than you get Things
rot in rather high profile ways
he's gotten things wrong. What
was that? Was that the the My
Lai Massacre or was that the Abu
Ghraib prison torture? Was that
wrong and hope high profile
ways? What was that? What did he
screw up our award? Pulitzer
Prize winning award winning
journalist, investigative
journalist, Seymour Hersh, why
did he screw up? Which Where was
he? So oh, the Russian
collusion, story collusion. So
that's, that was where he really
screwed up, if I recall, because
he was wrong, and was probably
if they had her, she does have a
bad habit. And if they wanted to
smear him, they could they could
do this at the age one of the
agencies that they put it
together, they put some time
into it. I don't think they do.
I think he's a an asset. I think
the agencies, the Intel agents,
who's an assets, Hirsch is an
asset.
I think he's an asset because he
because he does dig through
stuff. He does find leaks. He
is an asset for who I don't
understand what you're saying.
We say an asset. I
think he's an asset for the for
the spy agencies. Ah, because he
shows them that here's where you
screwed up. And it's like,
here's another look, look what I
found. You guys aren't very good
at this. I because I just here's
the whole story. Ah, here he is,
again. Because if they wanted to
smear him and get him out of the
picture completely, they could
do it because he's known amongst
all monks, journalists, even who
know him. Well. He's known for
saying screwy stuff. Yeah. In
public. Yes. He never writes.
Anything that's that's
inaccurate, or far as he's
concerned, is writing is
impeccable. But when he goes and
give speeches, he says weird
stuff that he never writes up
that if you documented it, you
could ruin him.
Let's listen is another 30
seconds.
Well, one of his allegations is
that it was taken off Route
rather than let this this
propaganda get aired in the
briefing room. Let me just say
it is a fundamental
misunderstanding of oversight in
our US Congress, beyond getting
his facts entirely wrong, as he
has before in very high profile
ways is a fundamental
misunderstanding suggests that
our intelligence community is
not subject to oversight. Anyone
who writes that anything or
writes anything like that? No,
no. No, no. Roads, it was taken
off of.
Can you back it up? Does this
guy actually say our
intelligence community is not
subject to oversight
as before, and very high profile
ways? AI is a fundamental
misunderstanding suggests that
our intelligence community is
not subject to oversight.
You got it right. Yeah. Okay.
Anything racist?
Okay. Yeah. Well, so
that was part of the part of the
interview, or the interesting
part of the article, which I
haven't highlighted, was that
once it's taken out of the
intelligence community move to
if we the way President Biden
and Victoria Nuland said that,
you know, we know how to do it,
something changed, and they did
not have to report to Congress
that is the illicit ticket.
technicality the Calculate. And
so Sullivan is saying that's not
true.
Anyone who writes that anything
who writes anything like that?
No, no, no, no, that you wrote
that it was taken off of a CIA
and put under military in order
to our military is also subject
to rigorous oversight. The
answer is yes. You recognize and
abide by the War Powers pause in
such a situation and the War
Powers resolution in a situation
your question is if we abide by
the War Powers resolution in a
situation that never occurred,
you know, any situation or any
situation involving US military,
we do abide by the more powers.
We follow the law in every
instance. Yes. War Powers
resolution, we follow the war
power resolute War Powers
resolution and the broader law
in every instance. Yeah,
he said in the broader law, so
that was that I am not a lawyer,
so I can't really figure out if
he's right or not,
but we have to be a specialist
lawyer to not just any lawyer.
Yeah. Which,
um, you know, I have some
qualifications.
Yes. Shut up zippy. So that just
it sounds squirrely, what he's
doing there sounds squirrely, it
was fun to watch.
This is a horrible situation
that Hearst is uncovered. Verse
her shirt. Again, eventually
he's uncovered a situation
that's inexcusable. We can't be
doing this.
What was cool about Of course, I
read the Dutch press, actually
and Scylla sent this to me. To
RTL news. Yeah, RTL is
entertainment organization, but
okay, they have news, RTL news.
They reported on this you know,
some Hirsch claims to have
evidence and whistleblower and
everything inside source that
the Americans blew up the
pipeline that they did it and so
that of course had to be stopped
because you know the there they
got the message late or the
memos Oh no, no. So they put an
overlay on top of the story you
know, so that you see that first
before you read the story about
the story. And I said, we need
to be really careful about this
story because this guy is a
known disinformation journalist.
Why wait and wait for it could
because the last time he said
anything that you know, the last
time you report on anything that
was true, was Watergate. They
don't even have the right guy.
They're thinking Woodward and
Bernstein. sigh Hearst didn't
report on Watergate. Not that I
recall. But that's how stupid
this is. Oh, we gotta put
something we got discredit him.
Watergate. It's an old guy. Oh,
one of those guys. Yeah.
Watergate. Wow, that stupid. Now
I have a supercut. Just to
remind us, just to remind us,
the collusion and the equal
messaging from politicians, the
intelligence community
community, the high altitude
balloon community, and the
media. This comes from mata aebs
substack. It's a video done by
ORF, then you need to see the
whole it's almost eight minutes,
but you just tell me when you'd
like to stop. It is and everyone
i You must go watch this
supercut. And you'll recognize
many of the voices and Oh,
surprise, it's across the board.
It's Republicans, it's
Democrats. It's Fox News. And
CNN. They were all all all in on
the messaging,
there will be no longer a Nord
Stream to we will bring it into.
But how will you how will you do
that?
I promise you will be able to
do.
So Russia's Nord Stream pipeline
I
mean, we've have to conclude
without the evidence that is
most likely Russia
Russian sabotage on its own
infrastructure
for the common sense matter. I
think it's Putin his way of
sending a message what Putin is
saying to us by blowing up his
pipeline is, look, I can blow up
a pipeline. Everyone knows that
Putin did this themselves
closest thing to a smoking gun
without the direct proof.
logic and common sense will tell
you that without the evidence,
Russia
was behind the incident. You can
see it for sure who
sabotaged the Nord Stream two
pipeline, the Russians. I love
the certainty and I appreciate
the insight. Yeah, there's
exactly one country on that list
of suspects bread. And Russia
wouldn't rush it would be yet
it's hard to imagine others with
a significant motive,
but we will bring in Nord Stream
to not move forward who did it
why not Mr. One way or another
Nord Stream two will not move
forward but it remains
unclear who could have been
behind the Nord Stream pipeline
leaks
made explicitly clear to anyone
involved with constructing this
pipeline as the consequences of
doing so are catastrophic Fred
crews would do such a thing like
this I mean
that offers tremendous strategic
opportunities
still don't know who caused
damage to the natural gas
pipelines US Secretary of
State warned against the
pipeline
Nord Stream pipeline mystery
continues us
says they'll do everything to
stop the Nord Stream pipeline
we do everything we can and I
have no
idea who is responsible she'll
Nord Stream to nail put
an end to use all the tools
available
stop the Nord Stream to
and let it rust the neath the
waves of the Baltic it's almost
inconceivable to think that the
US will do is
a member of European Parliament
publicly thanks to us for
blowing up the pipelines
this pipeline must be stopped so
we'll do that and why according
to US government think tank Rand
Corp the first step to weaken
Russia is to stop Nord Stream
two so it's a real mystery
hauled Nord Stream to to stop
Russia shut down the Nord Stream
two pipeline stop
things on Nord Stream,
Nord Stream two forever
permanently ending it
permanently.
Once and for all us must take
immediate steps to terminate
Nord Stream cancelled the Nord
Stream pipeline. Absolutely. We
should cut it off. We must stop
this Nord Stream we have made
clear to
the Russians that that pipeline
is at risk if they move further
into Ukraine
can't find anybody who'd be the
obvious culprit
in all of this when it comes to
North Stream to the pipeline
that would bring natural gas
from Russia to Germany. It will
not happen
they want some more because I
love the story they built on
this
that's it's it's pretty obvious
you know, we everyone's
demanding something happened and
then Glenn Monroe shouldn't
blame blame Russia. It's
unbelievable how you can get
away with that.
And it's everyone it was want to
hear a little bit more.
I think we've heard enough.
Okay, but you can play it play
another minute.
It was a deliberate act of
sabotage. And now the Russians
are pumping out disinformation
lies gonna bring in
former CIA Director John Brennan
is certainly the most likely
suspect Russia is certainly the
likeliest suspect of Russia is
most likely behind this Russia
is the likely cause of
likelihood
that Russia is behind the
attacks are
very likely Russian, likely
Russian, it is likely that this
is an act by Russia,
the most likely thing is this.
In fact, the most likely thing
Russia is most likely suspect at
this point, or too many is
Russia. I've heard people I
trust saying that it's just
probably Russia, Vladimir Putin
the most like Russia is
likely to blame. I mean, that's
totally something Putin would
do. And then go blame it on
someone else, essentially a
scenario of cutting off your
nose to spite your face here.
Why
would Russia bomb its own
pipeline? It doesn't seem to
make sense if you're thinking in
a rational actor scenario, but
experts agree that
Russia is experts agree. What's
cool, though, is when you see
that thing it you know what,
like the hill? What's that baby
face kid named? Who's on the
Hill podcast? It's it's left
right is everything. They're all
in on it, or they're all in on
it and to an unbelievable
degree,
you know? Well, you know, Adam,
it's possible that Putin did it
because it makes it makes us
look bad. So what he does, he's
tricky. Tricky. Of course.
That's what he does. So
he's gonna invest a few billion
bucks in a pipeline and then
blow it up so he can make us
look bad.
I get it. I'm with you on that
one.
So there are some thing or
analysis that's our fine media.
even think twice about Yeah,
that's weird.
So is the Lensky wrapped up his
his world tour in Brussels at
the European Union? You know,
because he went everywhere
pretty much. France did not much
reporting on it here because you
know, balloon, or UFO. UFO,
here's France to France 24. With
with a wrap up,
it was a case of Welcome home.
Welcome to the EU. That's how
European Council chief Charles
Michel and greeted Volodymyr
Zelensky. As the Ukrainian
President arrived in Brussels.
It's just the latest stop on a
tour of Europe that saw him meet
with UK Prime Minister Rishi
Sunak. In London yesterday. He
has been pressing European
leaders for more military
support and underlining the
importance of EU unity in the
face of existential threats. The
question of EU membership was
also a major theme addressed by
Commission President Ursula von
der Leyen and Zelensky himself.
Let's hear from them.
Your fight is a fight for
independence in the accuracy for
free Europe. We all heard the
urgency of your call to support
Ukraine now now. You're now in a
very moving manner about and
praising the European way of
life. And to added that
Ukrainians want to come home to
this European way of life. And
indeed today, you see we are one
family, one vision, and family
members help each other. You can
count on us
long term, and Europe will only
happen. Ukraine is the bookends
of victory and will become the
members Member of the European
Union. This is the unity we've
managed to build.
That was the translator for
Solinsky and you hear very
clearly what you want peace now.
No, not until we're a member of
the European Union.
Well, I have a couple of clips
on this. But since you're on
that particular topic, let's
play what the Chinese think of
this. This may have changed from
NTT. If I screw it, New Tang
Dynasty, I'm going to China
China's CGT N and what is this?
Well, this is the Chinese global
television network. So this
is the this these guys are
propria PRC Pro Child pro pro
Sheena.
Okay, this is China, China on
the list. This is how they were
looking at this what you just
played this is China Ukraine EU
help.
Okay. European Commission
president Ursula von der Leyen
has assured Ukrainian president
Volodymyr Zelensky of the
support by the European Union.
She says Ukraine and the EU are
one family and that Ukraine can
depend on the block support and
his fight against Russia.
I love that our
clips mesh together does that
henskee has delivered a speech
to European lawmakers and later
addressed all leaders of the EU
members special summit in
Brussels. Alex Korea has more
President Solinsky came to
Brussels primarily to thank his
European allies, billions of
euros have been spent from the
27 Member States and from the
European Union on supporting
Ukraine. He also wants to ask
for more help make more for
fighter jets. On the other hand
accession to the European Union,
a big theme for President Lecky,
he said, Look, we want to be
members of the EU. We want those
accession negotiations to begin
within a year. That is a
different timeline to what the
Europeans are saying Ursula von
der Leyen saying, Look, it'll
happen when it happens. It's a
merit based system. There is no
rigid timeline. But what is
clear is that the Ukrainians
want that access as quickly as
possible, and the Europeans are
saying it can happen. It's just
a question of whether or not you
put those reforms in place.
Well, hold on a second. I like
that because now we're talking
about who's in the EU and who's
not in the EU. And there are
many other candidate countries,
one of them being Moldova, and I
had to get this clip from wi o
n. In Indian news outfit. And
Moldova the government just
quit.
His Prime Minister has resigned
and the government has
collapsed. The Pro Western
government resigned after a
turbulent 18 months in power,
marred by economic turmoil and
spillover effects of the Ukraine
war. Shortly before the Prime
Minister Natalia got released a
statement down the government
said a Russian missile violated
Moldova and airspace Russia's
envoy was summoned to protest
the SPS violation. Moscow has
troops in Moldova is breakaway
region in Transnistria. Russia
has bristled at the possibility
of the former Soviet republic
joining the EU. On Thursday, the
country's intelligence service
confirmed Ukrainian allegations
that Russia has acted to
destabilize Moldova, the former
Soviet republics.
Were taking confirmation from
Ukraine now. They're the guys
that confirmed something
hey, the country's intelligence
service confirmed Ukrainian
allegation. Soviet Republic
joining the EU on Thursday, the
country's intelligence service
confirmed Ukrainian allegations
that Russia has acted to
destabilize Moldova. The former
Soviet republic of 2.5 million
has suffered from soaring
inflation and was strained last
year by an influx of Ukrainian
refugees. It has also suffered
power cuts following Russian air
attacks on Ukrainian energy
infrastructure. As dependence on
Russian gas is another issue.
The steep price increases
particularly for Russian gas led
to street protests last year.
The President and my sons we
accepted the religious decision.
However, she has given no sign
of abandoning her pro Western
policies, including seeking
European Union accession. Last
year in a diplomatic triumph for
presidents undo the EU leaders
accepted Moldova as a membership
candidate. The government had
been mapping out reforms to
accelerate the session to the 27
nation bloc and working on
diversifying its energy supply.
So Moldova, under Moldova on
deck interesting. Yeah. Well, to
the to the west to the west of
Ukraine, I might point out.
So I'm looking I get the other
CGT. Right.
Well, I'll just gonna ask you a
question. Could they be now
surrounding Ukraine? By bringing
Moldova you know, Bo
rushing idea that could be?
That'd be pretty tricky.
That'd be very tricky. rooskies
I mean, it's to the south men
should say not really not
completely to the west, but I
don't have my map. Well, I do to
the north of Odessa. So ah, they
it could be it could be a
Western Southwestern flank.
piece. Like he said, military
parlance. flank. Okay, back to
you, Bob.
Now, there was an interesting
clip. I've got it. This one is
going to be you're going to like
Cuomo,
on his show.
You owe the kid
Cuomo, not the old guy late. The
Chris Chris. Chris. Chris is
going to go back to Ukraine
today. Oh, because, yes,
Friday because he's brave, very
brave.
And throughout this particular
episode, I can get some more
examples of this for the next
show. But he goes on and every
time he talks to anybody says
you think this is important is
me going to Ukraine? No. And by
the way, I'll be in Ukraine
next.
Oh, can I just say something
about this? I got a note from
one of our guys. Who's in love
if I guess so right off the bat.
We're right on the border. Well,
if it is East is is is the
western part, right where? West.
And so so the journalists are
there, they're embedded, you
know, they're hanging out. And
according to my source known to
me, they are whoring and
drinking and just going out. And
then in Ukraine, that's what you
do. And anyone who writes
something negative about Ukraine
is off the party bus. They're
sent home. And then but
specifically whoring and
drinking was pointed out to me.
Yeah. So Chris, Chris Cuomo is
going to the source of pleasure,
he needs to get laid. He does.
So
but he lets a little item slip.
And what's funny about it is
right after he gives his little
spiel, he has a general on and
the general he says like to,
like this woman after the
Canadian gen two Gen is looking
like a deer in the headlights,
like, what did you just say? And
God, I hope you're not going to
ask me about it, which is what
he should do. But see if you can
figure in this little this is
the opening. This is the bonus
clip, by the way. This is the
his little is his lead up to the
to the item that I'm talking
about, which is like what, and
then his continuation, and he's
oblivious to what he said. And I
want to mention the old saying
from World War Two loose lips,
sink ships.
And as always, this shows about
you, my brothers and sisters. So
have your say 1-844-968-7720 and
get it in, because I'm not here
tomorrow, because we're
traveling to Ukraine. We're
gonna leave right after this.
Okay. And if everything goes
right, we'll be up and live for
you Monday from what is
happening in Ukraine, from
somewhere in there that we can
get a signal out. Yeah. Why are
we going? Why? Two reasons. One,
it's the one year anniversary of
something that was supposed to
just take a few weeks. Okay. And
once again, today, Ukraine's
president made an
enlightenment women whose side
is he on? When he says it was
only supposed to take a few
weeks? What did he believe
Putin?
Well, I don't know what who said
he's, I mean, he's on the up
promotes the war. So he's on
that side? I don't know. He's,
he's, he's, I think the guy is
not that bright. And what
happens when he tells the next
story is like, Wait a minute.
One, it's the one year
anniversary of something that
was supposed to just take a few
weeks. Okay. And once again,
today, Ukraine's president made
an emotional plea for more help,
not just from us, from our
allies all around the world all
around the region. And I want to
tell you about that. And I know
that there's a little bit of
compassion, fatigue, and hey,
they're winning, right? So it's
going to be okay. It's their
problem. Quick story. A buddy of
mine is taking me into the city
right before now, okay, today,
this happened. And he doesn't
seem okay. And I said, what's
going on? What's wrong? He says,
I just
he's talking about his limo
driver, is that a buddy of mine?
Because that's the kind of
friends he would have. The limo
driver
is irrelevant. And he doesn't
seem okay. And I said, what's
going on? What's wrong? He says,
Oh, I just lost a friend. So I'm
very I'm very sorry, what
happened? He said, Well, he was
in the army. And they don't know
where he is now. And the rest of
this patrol came back. He wasn't
there. So in the US Army was
training. He said, No, he was
fighting in Ukraine. I said, Oh,
well, where was it? Oh, it was
in this place called Buck moot.
Now, here I am on Long Island in
New York, talking to guy I
didn't even know had any
connection to the situation.
He's a buddy, though. And his
friend is missing and presumed
the worst, hopefully not in the
exact same place that my team
and I are about to go to. And
you know, how when you hear a
story like that, you say, Oh,
what a small world. Yeah, it is
a small world. And there is much
more connective tissue, then we
assume that it's over there.
It's their problem. It's not
their problem. Russia wanting to
rebuild the Soviet Union is
going to be a problem, not just
their problem, and there'll be a
lot of connective tissue stories
like that when people from here
but ramifications of commerce of
fuel of food and of course a
freedom. Okay,
so I'm listening to that saying,
wait a minute. Do U S Army. We
have patrols. We have soldiers
fighting and dying in Ukraine.
Since when?
Well, there's two ways to answer
this one. I get daily reports of
marks killed in action, US
mercenaries. So it just could be
just a mischaracterization that
he was US Army versus he's a
mercenary. They fight for money
anywhere. And they're in
northern Afghanistan and Iraq
and any anywhere anywhere you
need America. We
are sinners everywhere. It used
to be a magazine for him.
But how about this clip
to the war in Ukraine and
tonight the White House now
confirming President Biden will
travel to Poland to mark one
year since Russia's invasion of
Ukraine. And tonight Russia now
wrapping up its major new
assault. Tom Sufi boorish in
Ukraine again tonight.
David Russia launching a fresh
wave of lethal attack drones
kyiv's air defense in action
again tonight. It follows
earlier waves of missile and
drone strikes targeting
Ukraine's power grid, Russian
warships and bombers firing
those 100 missiles, cruise
missiles, primarily Ukraine
saying most are shot down, but
those that got through hit power
stations across Ukraine. Also
today Ukrainian officials
confirming to ABC News, the US
has been providing the
coordinates for most strikes
against Russian targets with
those us supplied high mass
rocket launchers a deeper level
of US involvement than
previously known.
That might answer some of our
question.
If there you have people over
there that are that should not
be over there.
They're painting targets in the
field in the field.
Yeah. Or, or who knows where the
primary shooting people to?
Yeah, well, yeah, there you go.
Advisors, normally advising
advisors. We know that's how it
works advisors. There is a
global shift underway and this
was highlighted.
By the way before you continue.
I would like to note, Cuomo left
it at that he never asked
anybody anything about it. Like
it just it's the guy's just he's
like oblivious to his own
observation. Anyway, I just find
it peculiar, because
I would say that most I think
many Americans certainly think
we're at war with Russia. That's
how it's been positioned. Now
Heiser is right here and we're
sending troops and at a certain
point, when does the general
population usually over
socialized uninformed or
informed see Chris Cuomo? I
think yeah, this would Yeah,
we're fighting them we're
America. We're fighting aren't
we and we fight so the we have a
change in or a shift I would say
in global what is the word I'm
looking for? In influence
influence in the region? And the
and things that have changed
since World War Two to now and
of all places? What are you
doing?
I'm sorry, I was crushing a can
against your head. Yeah. Okay.
When this comes up on the
morning, Joe Show with Joe and
Mika, then you know that this
was a message and they brought
someone with them in full
uniform. Well, the war
has entered a new stage in
recent weeks as dozens of tanks
were pledged by European allies
to aid and Ukraine's defense,
with some already on their way.
Leading the charge in that
effort is Poland. Late January
stressed that even if other
countries did not want to send
tanks, Poland would. Joining us
now Polish chief of defense
General Ray and J Chuck and it
is really good to have you on
board Poland has stepped up
immediately with no debate in so
many ways. Tell us about your
visit here and your message to
America and other partnering
nations in the aid of Ukraine.
Very good morning. Ukraine is
absolutely extremely important
for Poland is this is
the chief the defense the Chief
of Defence of Poland is on the
Morning Joe Show in full uniform
as now the new center of power
or the balance has shifted
towards Poland
very good morning. Ukraine is
absolutely extremely important
for Poland is extremely
important for reason with global
implications some very very
first day we started our support
many domains starting from the
human approach observing eight
millions Ukrainians crossing the
border a few million still
staying in Poland then we
started up social programs
medical programs education for
them and he admitted the we
started
preparation for one thing I can
barely understand him because if
the audio is so bad, he's not on
set.
He's on set he's on set with his
sounds like he's coming over a
phone or something. Do you have
a mic funny?
I can hear him it got it got a
low A lot of low end in his
microphone. I don't know why
which Okay, they'll have someone
else coming just Just bear with
it is worth it. And she admitted
the we started preparation
They're sending equipment,
ammunition and anything they
need for, for, for victory,
perfect. Since the
war began Poland, the center of
gravity
of NATO and the EU that's the
word I was looking for the
center of gravity of NATO.
Since the war began Poland, the
center of gravity of NATO and of
the EU seems to have moved east
and Poland basically Poland has
been this is an increasingly
incredibly important country.
Now how is that going down in
Poland, how our poles reacting
to their new central place
status in Europe that well,
it's you can feel an every
single, single day now the
central gravity from a
historical Cold War time design
moved from Germany, to Poland to
Warsaw, and geo strategy
matters. And also geography
matters and our aspirations for
the Western civilization as
well.
The center of gravity moved
towards Poland, there's
messaging in here that we don't
yet understand.
Well, he specifically said
Germany didn't he from Germany
from Yes, from Yes, from
Germany. Did you say Eastern
Germany?
No, he just said Germany
every single single day now the
center of gravity from a
historical Cold War time design
moved from Germany to Poland to
work
from historical Cold War
designed from Germany to Poland.
Which is by the way more
westward.
A curiously says but still
this messaging here that we're
just not picking up on yet, but
there's something about this. We
heard it, we heard it, but we
don't get it yet. Maybe we
should we have
been discussing over the last
two or three months how Germany
has been cut out of the picture,
trade and how they want to do
one thing or another. And we
also discussed the fact that
that little Yes, yes. Be your
pooch that tried to take place
to beer hall pooch. Find that
nut ball German guy who says
he's trying to get around the
fact that Americans are being
too influential in German
politics and we're running into
place the prince, the prince,
that sort of thing. Something's
up with their Grilli. The
Germans aren't going to put up
with this for long
for the Germans that they have
nothing but idiots in their
Cabinet who are one by one
resigning or making weird moves
to Germany is I think Germany
already has fallen. The military
stuff is unmaintained it's crap.
Hear that they they got rid of
the woman by blaming her for
wearing high heels and saying
inappropriate things like wars,
good. Whatever she was doing.
None of this. You're right is
definitely a neutering of
Deutschland. That's that is but
what do you have left if you
neutered? Deutschland
you can lead Poland run thanks.
I mean it's what's interesting
in this whole thing is that
Hungary which seems to be the
best managed of all these
countries, is just shuts up
about the whole deal there back
then we can we like are getting
it now. You got to do your own
thing. It's good. It's great.
There was it? Yes. It's weird.
What's what we're observing is
not easy to understand from our
perspective. And we probably
have as much. I think I don't
know how anyone else could get
any better than we are. In terms
of analysis,
but I'll give you one that we
have figured out. This came from
Deutsche Avella.
On Wednesday, Elon Musk's
company SpaceX said that it is
curbing use of its Starlink
satellite communication service
by the Ukrainian military
apparently, Ukraine's use of
Starlink. To guide drone attacks
against Russian forces is a no
go. The question is why now?
SpaceX sent 1000s of Starlink
terminals to Ukraine last year
to provide internet
communication now the company is
saying that Starlink was, quote,
never meant to be weaponized,
and it's taken steps to limit
its use with drones. Starlink
relies on a network of
satellites in low orbit around
the Earth to provide wireless
communication for the Ukrainian
government, and Keith has
condemned the decision by space
eggs, accusing the company of
ignoring Ukraine's right to self
defense. All right, so
this story is is true but not
for the reasons they imply. Ilan
is saying hey Starlink is not
intended for military use.
Because you need Star Shield
They have the entire Starlink
system rebranded as Star Shield,
and you need to pay Star Shield
for your military use, which is
much more expensive. You're
trying to get a free deal off of
Starlink, which is for
consumers. They this was always
a military system. And now, now,
now, Space X, I guess, is is
repositioning, excuse me, excuse
me, we need to make money off of
this to military industrial
complex. So star shields, what
they want their rightful action,
which is what this whole thing
was funded for in the first
place. It's always been for
military, you can't make
something like that pay off with
100 bucks a month for people
with RVs. No, you can't make
that thing.
That person loss leader, you're
you're sending 10s of 1000s of
satellites into low orbit. And
you think that a couple of
Yahoo's with RVs and people who
can afford $110 a month for
internet that's going to pay it
back? No. And he beat him he
beat Google. He beat all those
companies. He beat Jeff Bezos
know, Bezos is dumb enough to
think that he can sell it to
consumers. And maybe he will Did
you see that they're now your
pharmacy? Amazon. They've never
been my pharmacy. Oh man, they
so you can now order all your
prescriptions drugs via Amazon.
And I mean everything and then
in typical Amazon fashion, you
go okay, let me get some Prozac.
Prozac $500 a month if you get
the generic a month supply $3.99
Yeah, now you're talking Yeah.
Price and best price and you
know this this was supposed to
be what? What's this face? The
Mavericks guy come on. Come on,
sir. For No, no matter the
basketball team. What's his
name? Oh, boy, Shark Tank Man,
Shark Tank boy, Mark Cuban,
Cuban. He was he was going to do
the cheap alternative pharmacy
and he just got priced right
out. 399 for a month's supply of
Prozac. Generic, are you kidding
me? This is a bonanza is and
what I was reading the other day
I was reading here it is.
Psychologists may soon gain the
authority to write prescriptions
under a new legislative
proposal. How about that your
psychologist? That's
Dad that that if I was a
psychiatrist, no psychiatrist,
psychologist, psychologist. I
know. I said if I was a
psychiatrist, I would make the
biggest stink in the world about
this. Yeah, well,
we'll see. And this is this is
so that the telemedicine
psychologist is usually some
with a master's degree. And, you
know, my sister, she, my
sister, my sister Willow can
write me a Prozac subscription
prescription. So we have Amazon
it's a subscription. Yes, always
a subscription. Typically, a
psychiatrist prescribes
prescribes medication but is not
involved in providing talk or
other types of therapy. This is
the better help now.com lobby
betterhelp.com I think is the
name with the the outfit where
you can talk to a site, you
know, they match you with a
psychologist ello Yes. And you
can talk to them and you know,
and you you don't have to show
your face it doesn't have to be
on video can just be on a phone
call and then they're going to
start prescribing you drugs.
This is it. This is how the
Democrat party wins.
Yeah, he didn't win all doped up
by not
either party benefits from this
by the way, everyone becomes so
incredibly susceptible. It's
great. It's great. Man, the
drugs in this country. Any drugs
you want to look up any? Any
particular drug you need? Do you
take any medication?
I can think of a few things you
know, buy Adderall be good from
Adderall.
Let's see for good. I can
imagine you on Adderall. That
would be that'd be hilarious.
Alright, let's see.
Let's see Adderall. Okay. Oh,
this is interesting. They have,
so there's Adderall. 4999 for a
60 count pack of one. Then
there's natural XR with an N
2999. For a four Oh, that's for
all okay, that's a 30 car. So it
looks like your Adderall. You
can be good for around around 49
bucks from Amazon maybe
available on Amazon Prime. I
mean, that's going to put a lot
of kids out of the business and
College of selling there to find
something else to do. So while
we're still in the Ukraine, this
whole thing I want to get this
clip out of the way because this
wasn't played much over here. I
get it from China. China
official China, yeah. This
Ukraine, Russia, they're gonna
do something about these
reactors. They don't want
somebody bombing them by
accident.
Russia says is ready to work
with the International Atomic
Energy Agency to create a safety
zone around this upper Russia
nuclear power plant. Russian
officials and the International
Atomic Energy Agency held a new
round of consultations on
cooperation in ensuring safety.
The head of the nuclear
facilities operator said Russia
is providing comfortable social
and living conditions for staff
members and their families.
Of course, they don't want that
they're protecting it. They
don't want to blow that up.
But they don't want the
Ukrainians blowing it up and
blaming them.
They know it they don't want to
blow up at all. They just need
to keep it because when this is
all over the power needs to be
in the region. I don't Is it
actually still connected? Is it
hooked up? Is it running? Do we
know that
they don't say? No. I think it
is. So
because all we hear is how power
is off in Ukraine.
They keep blowing up those
substations Yeah, with the
missiles that they supposedly
block. There was a big artery
Patriot batteries that we have
big article in the Dutch
newspapers about the Dutch
detainees in jail. People who
are prisoners, and as we know,
everywhere, prisoners are
slaves, they perform slave
services. You know, the, the old
joke of their, you know, they
make license plates while true.
out it's like Ikea contract
directly with the correctional
Corrections Corporation of
America as an example for them
to make tables,
and hex wrenches.
Many hex wrenches, but now the
so they interviewed some of
these prisoners. They're really
they're happy and proud because
now they're making wood burning
stoves for Ukrainians.
Yeah, I'm happy to be in jail
making wood burning stoves.
Yeah.
At least I'm doing it for for a
good purpose and not just for
corporations. I'm gonna feel
good peace. And boy did it. I
think we can wrap this as Lenski
wrap this up with this Lensky,
who has now a statement of
incredible and impeccable
standing. And this is from Sky
News. He was the first one the
first one to call in,
you know, just looking at
Twitter, just seeing President
Zelensky has just been tweeting.
I extend my condolences to the
president overwhelm the people
of Turkey and the families of
those who lost their lives in
the earthquake in and wish a
speedy recovery to all the
injured. We stand with the
people in this difficult time.
We are ready to provide the
necessary assistance to overcome
the consequences of this
disaster. That's the latest that
we're hearing from President
Solinsky. And I'm sure other
leaders, other world leaders
will begin to rally around very
quickly.
No, yes, she's such
humanitarian. took time out who
is busy day
is the go to guy.
He is the go to guy.
So I noticed in that report that
they pronounced Turkey instead
of Turkey. Yeah. And I've
decided I'm going to start
pronouncing and spelling it
correctly now because we do it
with Deutschland. Yeah. And it's
Turkey,
Turkey. Turkey. Turkey I thought
was turkey.
Well, you can do it heads toward
Turkey. Turkey. Yeah,
I'm gonna use the European
pronunciation which would be
turkey. Yeah.
Well, whatever it is, I've
noticed that Al Jazeera is
pronouncing it correctly and I
have a report I think they
pronounced it in here. And she
GTV is pronouncing it correctly.
And also Tian the Chinese are
pronouncing it correctly and is
different is there's a distinct
separation now who's pronouncing
it correctly and who's not and
people are very slowly moving
over to the correct
pronunciation and spelling which
is t t URKIYE.
But when you say correct I mean
does that mean that key is
correct. Since that is the
official way they may have
gotten me in a corner now. Yes,
because you can't make jokes
about key and an ordering a
chicken Kyiv
might have chicken key chicken
pronouncing it keep just because
this but this is just the turkey
up or on And I already screwed
it up Turkey update from Al
Jazeera and you can hear the
correct pronunciation within
this report six days
off the two devastating
earthquakes hit Turkey and
Syria, rescuing any more
survivors and the rubble are
beginning to fade on a visit to
the epicenter of one of the
quakes. The UN a chief Martin
Griffiths said it was the worst
event to hit the region for 100
years. Wretched typo, two steps
will be taken to rebuild broken
cities within weeks. He's denied
accusations that building codes
were not properly enforced.
Meanwhile, 10s of 1000s are
without shelter across Turkey
and Syria. And many are sleeping
out in the cold turkey state
media report. 48 people have
been arrested for looting. In
total, more than 29,000 people
are now known to have died for
them. 24,000 of those are in
Turkey, and more than four and a
half 1000 In Syria, but that
figure is expected to rise
now. Tell is the because it was
northwestern Syria. Isn't that
where the where the beautiful
the like the vacation spot is in
Syria?
I don't know that for a fact. It
doesn't
want to say Idlib have to take a
look. But 24 25,000 people did
that. That's 2929 Well, what it
however
the county that? Well, I do have
to if you want to before we take
our break, I do have two more
clips about Turkey. Yeah, sure.
And it's about the building
codes, which is not being
covered here. But I brought it
up on a show previous show which
is there's a building code
problem in some of these
earthquake areas. They're not
building these buildings
correctly. They they have
earthquakes of this magnitude
elsewhere. And the whole place
doesn't fall apart and building
them sit there for one minute
and you get the filament
collapsing completely pancaking
Did you Did you Did you see
any of the number three do you
see any of the aerial footage of
the the but the rip in the
earth? It's like biblical
proportions. This thing is like
holy
crap, a biblical area. So let's
listen to this dude. I got two
clips. This is the turret quake.
Building codes. Arrest this is
from Al Jazeera. Again.
Tucker's police have detained 12
People have a collapse buildings
in the southeastern provinces of
Gaziantep and Sankofa. Those
taken into custody included
building contractors, as a big
as more now from Istanbul.
Now we're hearing around 12
People have been detained the
construction of these buildings
and two of those here in
Istanbul. Now one of those
individuals magma Josh Cohen, he
is responsible for the
construction of a 12 storey
building in Pattaya, which had
around 250 apartments and that
building came down during the
earthquake. Now he was detained
at Istanbul airport he was
getting ready to leave for
Montenegro has some cash on him,
which was confiscated by
authorities. Now in his
indictment, which has been
leaked to the media. Here. He
says that his buildings follow
the regulations that he doesn't
know why the building came down.
He has other buildings that are
still standing, and that he had
followed those regulations. But
the public prosecutor has also
put out detention orders and 29
other individuals surrounding
the construction of buildings
now questions are being asked of
the government. I've been asked
of the government hear around
those building regulations and
the standards of construction.
Now back in 2018, there was an
amnesty around those building
regulations. In some cases,
people just paid a fine and
experts had warned about those
standards in the event of an
earthquake. Now those questions
continue to remain in the
government denied that building
regulations were ignored. But
this question will continue to
remain as the weeks and months
go on.
Yeah, I mean, I you see the
videos like yeah, man that that
the pancaking is actually is
actually really annoying. I
mean, yeah, you've you've seen
earthquake, earthquakes. It's
rarely a straight down
pancaking. No, usually
the thing tips over it's over.
Yeah. So here's part two of this
building codes, clips, and this
is again not being carried Yeah,
this is important because at
least the Turks know there's
liability issues here but then
it they don't know how deep it
goes. But people should be aware
of the fact that there are
building codes in earthquake
zones in the United States. We
have them in California. And and
there's inspections that are
inspectors involved, there are
governments involved this is a
lot of involvement here on this
is going to shake out is going
to end up with a lot of people
in jail. Part two,
when Alia we spoke to Sony Azar,
a professor at Kadir Has
university he says investigating
building contractors could
unveil a much larger chain of
violations.
Obviously, these contractors I
mean, first of all, they're
innocent until proven guilty,
but they may have not followed
the regulations to do that. err,
and that will be their
responsibility, but they are not
the only ones who would be
responsible, if such is the
case, because they are those who
approved those plans. They are
those who supposed to inspect
those plans. Those are there are
people who give them the permits
are also co conspirators, if you
will, should this be proven to
be correct that they have not
followed to the, to the letter,
the regulation that exists,
building codes or our tender
codes have changed over 150
times in the past 20 years with
there had been quite a number of
amnesties. And, of course, all
that made cheating actually a
very valuable thing, because
then you make a lot of money,
you don't follow the code, and
then you actually pay a little
penalty, perhaps, and then you
get away. You get away with it.
And right now you get away with
murder literally. Well,
yeah, that's unfortunate.
Yeah, it's very unfortunate,
especially for these pancake
buildings.
Wow. I mean, there's there's a
million people homeless. There's
children, they don't even know
the children's name.
It's a mess.
Yeah, that's one way of looking
at it. I think I have one, one
thing here and then we can take
our break. I thought I had one.
Yeah, this is a general report
from CBS weekend,
they painstakingly pick through
the rubble, desperately
searching for survivors, then
their worst fear.
One emergency worker was
moderately injured, the rest
unharmed, unimaginable luck. In
a place was so little. In hard
hit a Donna, babies and small
children received treatment at a
hospital in the southeastern
city. Most were plucked from the
ruins by rescue workers, but
lost in the chaos were their
names with no one yet to claim
them. The fear now is the
earthquake has robbed these
babies of their parents, and
quite possibly their identities
to do this talks about, we know
what area she was founded and
how she got here. Dr. Caslen
says but don't have any address.
For other survivors. They grieve
for those they've lost wherever
they've been buried. As more and
more fresh graves are dug up in
anticipation of mass burials.
The scale of Monday 7.8
magnitude quake, and its many
aftershocks continue to defy
comprehension. So to do the
numbers, at least 6000 buildings
have collapsed 900,000 People
need urgent shelter, and around
5 million have been displaced
from their homes. Aid has come
in from 45 countries including
the US, but for badly hit Syria,
just two convoys have made it
into Northwestern in that
province. The last remaining
rebel held territory in a
country deeply scarred by over a
decade of civil war. It's a
grinding complex secure Musa was
born into he was found after
four days trapped under the
rubble in the southern town of
generis in his short life, Musa
has survived more and now this
earthquake, but with so little
help on the way, it's hard to
know what future if any, he has.
Wow.
So not to be ghoulish about it.
But we do have to look now at
you know, geopolitically, what
does this what does this mean?
So the pipelines I think are
destroyed the which had Russian
gas oil, not gas Erawan someone
needs to come in and start
helping rebuilding Erawan we'll
probably have to start making
some concessions. The lira is
already overinflated, and it's,
you know, pretty much worthless
from where, you know, 90% down
from its value a couple of years
back. He's He's holding back the
entrant entrance of Finland and
Sweden into the into NATO. So
he, I mean, it's it's just a bad
coincidence. This is happening
right now when he had a very
strong position. And now he has
almost no position unless he
wants to come across as a
horrible person. And a Diana
Saso, aka who was a Turkish
senator, or is a turkey a US
senator.
They still say Turkish the
Turkish. She claimed
in her speech which I have seen
in the translation sounded
right. She says this earthquake
was directed so just want to put
that out there she may be she
may be a nutjob. Oh, wait a
minute. Breaking breaking
breaking breaking. We got a
breaking report here. From the
keeper apparently another object
has been spotted over Lake
Huron. It has been shut down
according to Twitter so another
object while we're live fourth
balloons, I mean it's right over
Chicago. Well, we're under
attack jazz
Lake Michigan Lake Huron is
really in Connect Canadia okay,
but we're
under attack. This is Mars
Attacks. This is rolling
with the worst ever.
I love that movie. Favorite
movie. What wasn't a song yet to
play was What song was it? They
played that made their heads
explode? I forgot. Yeah. Oh man.
Well with that I'd like to thank
you for your courage say in the
morning to you the man who put
the sea in the CGTN China global
television network news ladies
and gentlemen say hello to my
friend on the other end Mr. John
in the morning, you Mr. Adam
curry. Also in the morning all
ships at sea boots on the ground
and subs in the air subs in the
water. All the names and
the balloons in the air and in
the morning to the trolls and
the troll room who have been
hanging out there to troll
room.io Now we've added some
instructions if you need more
information on how to register
for the troll room right there
troll room.io is where you can
find out learn everything you
need to and also listen to the
show live and jump right into
the chat room or you can always
use one of those brand new apps

I've been using for my bat
signal along with now we have
podcast addict does it you get a
notification you tap it just
it's an podcast we have your
podcast you go right in you can
listen to the stream you can
jump into the to the troll room
and communicate right away and
all kinds of fun new stuff and
let's see how many Well well
well 2268 I'd say that's pretty
good.
That's a reasonable number
that's pretty average. It was
about the same I think it was 23
last Sunday but the down I
thought it'd be a lot less
because I thought maybe some of
these trolls but I guess not
would be watching pre Super Bowl
stuff which is going to
me know that. Well. They should
they could be and we may have
had more at the beginning of the
show. But once we gave our tips
are who's going to win
the predictions?
Okay, predictions. They're out
there. They're calm. They're
bookies. They got other things
for
Colin, do you think that anyone
in the troll room those guys
have bookies?
I wouldn't put it past them.
They are trolls. Some of them
may be bookies. No, so
that's always possible.
Big thanks to correct to record
who brought us the artwork for
episode 1528. We titled that one
habitat, which was thanks to Amy
Goodmans a pronunciation of
habitat. All caps is people
didn't say much about the title
but they love the artwork. Which
was Fred cruise. Yeah. It was a
TED for Ted Flintstone. It was
Fred Flintstone. Only now Fred
cruise clearly in in bedrock if
you haven't seen it, it's such a
great piece. And we looked at a
number a number of pieces that
were available to us and you can
check that out for yourself at
no agenda art generator.com Go
look at what the artists are
putting in there. They're doing
that in real time while they're
listening to us. And, and we
choose from it right after the
show right after we're done. We
try not to make it the same as
the title of the show, but we do
choose the art first. And let's
see what we had we had another
one you'd like right off the
bat. Was Microsoft barf by
Thomson Neal, which was a nice
piece no agenda with the with
the squares, which represented
Microsoft, although it was
Google. But the second we
probably said that wrong. But
then having Clippy there was
pretty obscure. And also the the
text was so small that it had
you know, that just doesn't work
on these. This is the bottom of
the first page right now. Bottom
Right. All the way at the
bottom.
I'm going I'm going
yes grow.
Are you though? Yeah, I did like
that piece told you. It did have
and Clippy is the originator of
this whole thing. That's just
how far it's gonna get. By the
way, Clippy was an annoying
Clippy. Well, Microsoft Bob was
the was before Clippy wasn't he?
I think Clippy I think they came
in. This was the moment that
they thought this was a good
idea. They also did Little Dog
remember the little a dog and
said you'd have a dog?
Oh, yeah, I do remember the
little dog. What was it the
wagons tail
and ask your questions. You sure
you want to do it that way?
Hey, hey, don't forget about me.
Zippy. Yeah, zippy. We know.
So Clippy was annoying and the
dog was annoying and Microsoft
Bob, which I was very I liked
Microsoft Bob as a children's
our operating system to get kids
involved in computers because my
son at the time Yeah, JC was,
was killed Jr. I think he was
like seven at a time or when
this thing when the maestro Bob
came out, I'd have to open up
the bogey pace and get the exact
dates. But he was jacked up
about it. He was using his
machine all the time. He
developed a bunch of software
that worked within the Microsoft
Bob environment, but they kept
trying to sell it to adults
was there then it was around the
same time we had the Microsoft
comic chat. I think that came
later. Okay, that came well
then. But they've
had this idea they they think
adults or adults, or adults,
adults, but Microsoft, Bob was,
was a cool product when I mean
when JC showed it to me and he
showed me all the intricacies of
it. And as a kid, it was like
wow, yeah, that's pretty cool.
And I was a big fan of Microsoft
but not for not to replace
windows. I'm mean, what are they
thinking? And they wouldn't they
would never promote it to kids
as a kid operating system is
just wouldn't deal with it.
Well, at
least that kind of work. I mean,
Cortana which I never understood
as a brand name,
which is which, of course after
a small Toyota
Cortana is the first thing you
need to disable on your windows
because it sucks up resources to
versus
getting rid of it. Yeah.
More artwork we looked at was
let's see we had explosive new
details bombshell bombshell was
still a lot of balloon stuff. I
kind of liked Taunton needles
hanging up the Adidas with the
two Adidas sneakers hanging off
the g of agenda which I liked it
because it was clean but it
really nothing paled in
comparison to or everything
paled in comparison to to Fred
crews I mean and that was my
Miss misstating his name and it
just and that is his name now by
the way is Fred crews from Fred
forevermore just like it's Janet
Yeltsin the Yeltsin this is this
is what we do on the show.
Yeltsin so yeah, I mean, it was
just pretty clear. What else was
there? And we had I like,
Let's go Brandon, you can't to
kneel to but that was never
gonna get picked. No,
you have. Do you have a buzzer
on your microphone today? By the
way? No. Shouldn't be let me
hear something Oh, my God, I can
hear sounds like something in
the background. No. So the
horse, the horse, the horse.
Horse is not going to make
artwork though.
No, it's not going to be comic
strip bloggers, horrors were
quite good.
Yeah, he's while he's in Poland.
That's where all the good whores
are hookers in Kenya, they're
all in Ukraine.
They really knocked me out.
Thank you very much to all of
our artists for participating.
We already we see that you
already have put up a lot of
things in anticipation of what
we will like or what topics we
will be discussing, or topics we
have discussed this is you can
watch this in real time. No
agenda, art generator.com. or,
indeed, we publish a lot of
these pieces of art in chapters
if you get one of those modern
podcast apps, and why aren't you
already using one. And so you
can see all of this. It's a lot.
It's beautiful work. And we're
so so happy that we have our
artists to do this because it
truly is value for value. They
like the value that we give them
through doing the program
itself. And they return that as
best they can. And even if we
don't use it, it's value to us
just just for doing it. And we
appreciate that. No agenda art
generator.com. Now, you can also
check us out at our our social
network, which is a mastodon
instance, no agenda social.com.
A couple things I want to
mention about it today. We have
limited number of spots. So we
try to keep it around 10,000 The
number of people that are in
there, we're blocked by hundreds
if not close to 1000 Mastodon
instances who just hate our free
speech policy, freeze peach, by
the way. And we have a few
policies ourselves. I'd like to
mention one specifically. If you
have something to say posted
publicly, this is not intended
to be a DM network. And I get
this a lot in people and I have
to have to look at every posting
now to make sure it's not a DM
if you want this is for public
discourse for Congress. sation
and then there's this other
thing. There's a there's a a
style of question that I'm that
I'm very irked about. You may
have seen this, and it goes like
this. Why haven't you spoken at
all about Julian Assange? I find
that interesting.
It's actually the second part of
it that makes it fun. Yes, yes.
Yeah, I find Hmm.
Now, you haven't spoken about
that, why? And I wanted to
remind everybody of our mission
statement, we deconstruct media,
if the media is not talking
about it, and we search pretty
far and wide to find media that
talks about topics. It's hard
for us to deconstruct the media.
But yet people then make this
and it irks me, and I know, I
shouldn't get that. And
we're not here to get Julian
out. I mean, that should have
been just to actually get into
the politics of it. Yeah. That
should have been done by Trump.
Yeah.
But you know, it's like you
you've never talked about it
ever. So no, we bring we
mentioned it all the time. In
fact, you know, we've met
Julian, and you'll say, you'll
say yeah, but meanwhile, Julian
Assange just rotting away.
You'll say that many times.
I mentioned him and Martha
Stewart, in
the same breath, which is, which
by itself is a problem. Anyway,
we deconstruct media, we do the
best we can we try to help you
navigate your way through this
amygdala altering world of
bullcrap, also known as news,
which is not and they're all
a&r, everyone, they're all
they're all doing it. They're
all worldwide. Yeah. All right.
All right, let's thank our
executive and Associate
Executive Producers first and
foremost, who knows, we'll get
we'll get the title. It's a
forever title for that for
supporting us at 200 or $300
Subsequently, and we'll go take
it all the way through our other
producers up until $50. Because
it's you know, January was light
and we're still in the late days
of of January now being February
and I don't know I mean, maybe
this is just the new normal. We
believe we're still providing
good value. We hope you feel
that way as well. So please
consider supporting the show so
that we can continue to do it as
we have done for 15 years
without creepy corporate money
and advertisers and anything of
the like. Then we think right
off the bat sir sorted out from
Houston Texas who does come in

troll room will tell us because
probably something because he's
got some money to give us

in Cordova, Illinois. 333. And
he says no jingles. Thanks for
the work.
Goodness. This is great. We're
light on everything including
words. Good. That'll do. Then we
move on to James Nelson. Niagara
Falls New York. No note that at
333 that means it's a double up
karma for you. You've got karma
and that's the end of our
executive producers. We go on to
