What's the problem?

AI sucks.

It's Thursday, February 20th, 2025.
0:07
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media
0:08
Assassination Episode 1740.
0:11
This is no agenda.
0:13
With a 4% approval rating.
0:16
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
0:18
textile country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
0:21
In the morning, everybody.
0:23
I'm Adam Currie.
0:24
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
0:26
saying the same thing.
0:27
Bring back the M-Bone.
0:30
I'm John C.
0:31
Dvorak.
0:35
You know, I would give anything to bring
0:38
back the M-Bone.
0:40
Did you know the Rolling Stones did a
0:42
concert over the M-Bone?
0:43
Yes, I know.
0:44
It was, I think, 1996, I'm gonna say.
0:48
Yeah, I remember it.
0:51
All 15 people were able to watch it
0:53
and enjoy it.
0:53
It was actually 50,000, they say.
0:55
Yeah, they say.
0:57
It was only, the thing was only universities
0:59
who had a T1 and Spark stations.
1:02
That's the only people who could really see
1:05
it.
1:07
I want a number of people writing in
1:09
about it.
1:09
They talked about the 6-Bone, which came
1:11
later.
1:12
I don't remember the 6-Bone.
1:14
It was the M-Bone on IPV6.
1:17
Oh, is that when they...
1:18
Get it?
1:19
Yeah, when IPVTV was going to be the
1:21
next best thing.
1:24
Well, IPTV is actually what's in play right
1:26
now.
1:30
Yeah, but they had it.
1:31
It was a specific protocol and a whole
1:33
thing they had developed that was IPTV, and
1:36
they had set-top boxes for IPTV, and
1:40
that went nowhere.
1:42
Well, what about Internet 2?
1:46
Remind me of that.
1:47
What was Internet 2?
1:49
I forgot.
1:50
Internet 2 is going to be the next
1:51
big thing, and it was what the universities
1:53
decided to move to.
1:55
Yeah, now I don't know.
1:56
And then everyone says, the universities are using...
1:58
It's going to be the whole...
1:59
It's going to ruin the regular Internet, because
2:01
everyone's going to use Internet 2.
2:02
Yes, I do remember that.
2:04
Well, of course, many people who are listening
2:07
now will not remember WebTV.
2:11
They won't remember anything.
2:13
We've just lost half the listenership.
2:16
Believe it or not, kids, when I was
2:18
a kid, you could go to Sam Goody,
2:22
and you could pick up a WebTV box,
2:24
and it brought up a browser at, I
2:27
think it was 2,400-baud speed.
2:30
No, it was faster.
2:32
Okay, maybe...
2:33
That was a 9600-baud era.
2:34
9600-baud era, okay.
2:36
And then you had a remote control that
2:38
you controlled a little pointer with on the
2:41
TV.
2:43
And it was such an experience, and it
2:45
was great.
2:46
And Microsoft ended up buying the operation.
2:50
Was it Microsoft?
2:51
No, you're right.
2:52
They bought it, and of course...
2:53
And they bought it for next to nothing.
2:55
Yeah, well, it wasn't worth it.
2:57
It was the last cheap purchase Microsoft made.
2:59
It wasn't worth anything, so...
3:02
Well, not when Microsoft got...
3:04
Okay, well, let's take it to AOL TV.
3:06
Remember that one?
3:07
I sure do.
3:10
Oh, man, we've been through a lot, John.
3:13
Yeah, we got a couple of old farts
3:14
here talking about the old days.
3:16
That's right, baby.
3:17
That's right.
3:18
I remember my 56K frame relay.
3:23
Frame relay.
3:24
I had frame relay, man.
3:25
Yeah, yeah, you were rocking it.
3:27
I had ISDN.
3:30
Well, that was the...
3:31
ISDN was 64 kilobits, I think, wasn't it?
3:34
Yeah, but it was two channels.
3:36
Oh, that's right.
3:36
So you got 128?
3:39
Yeah.
3:39
Yeah.
3:40
But it was super dedicated, so it was
3:43
very...
3:44
And it would never dial in.
3:45
It would still work to this day.
3:46
All TV feeds were over ISDN back in
3:49
the day.
3:49
I remember that it was really...
3:51
If you dialed in an ISDN and it
3:53
would disconnect, it would take forever to get
3:56
the connection.
3:57
But it worked great.
3:58
Once you connected it, it did.
4:00
Yeah.
4:01
So we predict...
4:03
Yeah, I remember.
4:04
Johnny.
4:05
We predict many things on this show.
4:08
And you actually predicted something a while back
4:13
about the left wanting a Joe Rogan on
4:17
the left, and you compared that to the
4:19
days of Air America.
4:21
When was that?
4:21
I was trying to reminisce with Tina.
4:23
Was that...
4:24
Well, Air America was a...
4:26
Once Rush Limbaugh started hitting his stride, all
4:29
these clones came up.
4:30
Michael Savage and all these guys went on
4:33
radio, and they're all right-wingers.
4:34
And so Air America came about probably in
4:37
the late 90s.
4:39
I'd have to...
4:39
I can look it up.
4:39
I think it's 96.
4:40
They came about as the counter-programming to
4:43
all the right-wing guys on AM radio.
4:45
And did Microsoft wind up buying that for
4:47
next to nothing?
4:48
No, they didn't.
4:48
I'm surprised.
4:51
Well, I took your prediction, made it my
4:53
own, took full credit for it, of course,
4:56
and mentioned this to Joe on my recent
4:59
appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
5:02
What I think we'll see, the first thing
5:05
after the election is, we need a Joe
5:07
Rogan on the left.
5:08
We need a Joe Rogan.
5:09
Well, guys, you basically had a Joe Rogan
5:11
on the left, but you were so crazy
5:13
that Joe started to think right.
5:15
They didn't want me.
5:16
That was the thing.
5:17
They didn't want you?
5:17
But that's all the PSYOP working against them.
5:20
Because in the past, they could take someone
5:23
like me and demonize them and it would
5:25
be effective.
5:25
And they could just remove you from the
5:27
airwaves and then remove you as a problem
5:30
because you're not playing by the rules.
5:32
But now people go, oh, you know what?
5:34
I think he's the one who's actually telling
5:35
the truth.
5:36
Let's stop listening to them.
5:37
And so then CNN crashes and then faith
5:40
in mainstream media crashes and faith in podcasts
5:42
rises.
5:43
I think what we'll see though is, and
5:45
it may come from YouTube, we'll probably see
5:47
them try to hype someone up to become
5:50
the Joe Rogan of the left.
5:52
Well, they're already definitely doing that.
5:54
But the thing is, I don't care.
5:56
I don't know if Joe knew, but headlines,
6:01
headlines, Midas Touch dethrones Joe Rogan as top
6:05
podcast in the country.
6:08
Wait, hold on.
6:11
What?
6:12
I never even heard of this podcast.
6:14
How could it be the top podcast in
6:16
the country?
6:17
I will explain.
6:19
Yes, please explain to everybody.
6:21
Well, first let's play, of course, it's working.
6:24
The hype is working as intended.
6:27
And here's MSNBC, Stephanie Ruhle, you know, you
6:31
know her, all the boys.
6:33
Yeah, another one of the lipless wonders on
6:35
MSNBC.
6:36
All the boys in the Goldman trading floor
6:38
loved her.
6:38
All right, new topic, Joel, before we go.
6:40
The left-leaning podcast Midas Touch has just
6:43
done the unthinkable, dethroned.
6:46
Stop, stop.
6:47
Wait, are you telling me that the Midas
6:49
Touch, which is a podcast I've never heard
6:51
of, has replaced Chappo Trap House?
6:54
Oh, Chappo Trap House is nowhere to be
6:56
found.
6:57
They're completely gone.
6:58
What happened to them?
6:58
They were, they were kicking ass.
7:00
That's a good question.
7:01
That is a good question.
7:03
I know they were bringing at least $2
7:04
million a year.
7:06
I don't know what happened to them.
7:08
They had them divided amongst 25 people, but
7:10
it's beside the point.
7:11
Has just done the unthinkable, dethroned Joe Rogan
7:15
to become the country's most popular podcast.
7:18
Do you see this as a sign of
7:20
a bigger political shift?
7:21
Because even these three guys specifically, they are
7:23
not your touchy-feely progressives.
7:26
They're like three bros from Long Island.
7:28
Look, I think that this does signal one,
7:31
Democrats and let's just call it the non
7:33
-conservative ecosystem catching up to where the kind
7:37
of Rogan right has been.
7:38
Rogan right.
7:39
They're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump guys.
7:41
Rogan right, Rogan was a libertarian left winger.
7:44
Rogan right.
7:45
Has been.
7:46
And they're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump.
7:48
By the way, you gotta be careful with
7:50
you calling libertarians left wing.
7:52
It gets me in trouble, so stop it.
7:54
The kind of Rogan right has been.
7:56
And they're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump
7:58
guys.
7:58
And they crank it out all day, every
8:00
day.
8:00
And I do think the fact that this
8:02
is organic.
8:03
Organic, oh yeah.
8:06
Wait for it.
8:07
Ecosystem that was just built up with heavy
8:10
investment from millionaires and billionaires.
8:12
These are folks who've been grinding and working.
8:14
Grinding.
8:15
My suspicion is they probably were gonna get
8:17
to this point anyway.
8:18
But it does, I think, signal where groups
8:21
and where organizations and where candidates on the
8:24
Democratic side are gonna focus a lot of
8:26
their effort going forward.
8:27
You've gotta dominate this space.
8:29
That's where conversation is.
8:31
That's where a lot of people get their
8:32
news is on YouTube, online.
8:34
You have to be present there.
8:36
And you have to have messengers that are
8:38
fearless and that know how to talk to
8:40
these folks comfortably.
8:41
And in messy conversations that are often complicated.
8:44
People often say that Democrats don't know how
8:46
to hit.
8:47
These guys are hitters.
8:48
Oh, they're hitters.
8:49
Yeah, and Democrats have the confidence to go
8:52
anywhere and make a case.
8:54
We've got a fragmented media ecosystem.
8:56
So it's good to see a little more
8:58
political diversity in that.
9:00
Democrats are gonna have to play offense and
9:02
stop just preaching to their choir, right?
9:05
The essence of evangelism is winning conference.
9:07
So you gotta get out there with the
9:08
confidence to make a case.
9:09
And not simply play to your base.
9:11
All right.
9:11
So let's talk about the Midas Touch for
9:14
a moment.
9:14
Yes, a podcast I've never heard of until
9:17
this very minute.
9:18
I had not heard of it either until
9:20
Newsweek brought us the headline, which everyone is
9:23
repeating, Midas Touch dethrones Joe Rogan.
9:26
How can it dethrone anything?
9:29
It just showed up.
9:30
You don't dethrone it.
9:32
It's like instant bestseller.
9:34
Yeah, exactly.
9:36
That would have been even better.
9:38
So I did a deep dive.
9:40
These numbers come from PodScribe.
9:44
And PodScribe, they use a tracking pixel on
9:49
downloads, which is one of the more valid
9:53
ways of getting download numbers.
9:56
And so the most recent PodScribe chart, now
9:58
that's just PodScribe, which means everybody has to
10:03
participate, which they don't.
10:06
We don't participate in any of that nonsense.
10:08
We have no tracking pixels.
10:11
There's absolutely no reason to have that.
10:13
Bragging rights.
10:15
Exactly.
10:16
I think their measurement is correct.
10:19
They say 57 million downloads for the Midas
10:22
Touch podcast versus Joe Rogan's 57 versus 50
10:26
million monthly downloads.
10:30
And let's just listen to a minute of
10:33
the most recent episode of the Midas Touch.
10:36
Just three bros.
10:38
Just three bros.
10:39
That's all they are.
10:41
And are you okay?
10:44
I swallowed some tea.
10:46
Oh, well, it's going in the right direction.
10:50
Down the throat.
10:52
Here is the most recent episode of the
10:55
Midas Touch.
10:55
It's a dude sitting in a chair with
10:58
a big mic in his face.
10:59
Look at these headlines from the United Kingdom
11:02
this morning.
11:03
The Daily Express says, Shameful Trump attack stuns
11:07
the world.
11:08
From the Daily Star, Putin's poodle.
11:12
And Donald Trump is in the character of
11:15
a poodle.
11:16
And then being walked by Putin.
11:18
And then the Daily Mail, Trump appalls world
11:21
with dictator blast at Zelensky.
11:25
So in between Donald Trump's vacationing yesterday, playing
11:29
golf once again.
11:30
Remember over the weekend while there were devastating
11:33
storms in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Donald Trump
11:36
was circling around the Daytona 500 in his
11:40
motorcade, but then playing golf and then golfed
11:43
over the weekend.
11:44
He's golfed every day since then on our
11:47
taxpayer dime.
11:49
And in between then, he's been attacking Zelensky.
11:52
Yesterday, he called Zelensky a dictator.
11:54
He threatened Zelensky.
11:56
He threatened our allies in NATO.
11:58
We'll get to that in just a bit.
12:00
And while all of that's going on, you
12:02
have Elon Musk using his rage algorithm, his
12:06
disinformation and propaganda network known as X used
12:10
to be Twitter, making posts like this and
12:13
making a mockery of the fact that he
12:16
and Doge and Donald Trump are cutting essential
12:18
services and destroying lives.
12:21
So riveting content, riveting.
12:25
And I can tell you how they got
12:28
this number.
12:29
Yeah, this number is jacked up.
12:32
It's bullcrap.
12:33
Well, you know, you can jack up.
12:37
I did the deep dive.
12:40
I'm Notebook LM.
12:42
These guys released 13 episodes a day between
12:47
13 and 20 episodes a day, and they're
12:50
all short.
12:50
They're about 10 to 15 minutes.
12:53
Sometimes they include and it's just as far
12:55
as I can tell, it's only one guy.
12:57
I don't know.
12:57
I could not find one with the three
12:59
brothers talking.
13:00
They have a network which is all counted
13:03
with the same pixel as far as I
13:05
can tell, who also release an extraordinary amount
13:09
of episodes per day.
13:11
I think they have 10 podcasts.
13:14
Some of them they host themselves.
13:16
They have some other people.
13:17
So, yeah, if you get 100,000 per
13:21
downloads per episode, which is, you know, we
13:25
get more than that.
13:27
And you do 15 of them a day.
13:30
Yeah, you can get to 50, you know,
13:32
you can get to 50, 57 million.
13:35
If you buy a little bit of bot
13:37
traffic, that'll help.
13:39
But these guys, and I think that they
13:41
have the money for bot traffic because these
13:43
guys are not just some bros from Brooklyn.
13:47
These guys had a political action committee in
13:51
2020, which whose sole purpose was to stop
13:55
the re-election of Donald Trump.
13:58
The super PAC aligned with the Democrat Party.
14:02
So they had a PAC, then the super
14:03
PAC.
14:04
It was the Democracy, Defense and Action in
14:06
2023.
14:08
These guys are no slouches.
14:11
One's a lawyer.
14:12
One is that I think he's a partner
14:16
with Colin Kaepernick.
14:18
These guys have been around.
14:19
They are literally in millionaire and billionaire circles.
14:23
Yeah.
14:24
So they have plenty of money to buy
14:26
some bot traffic.
14:27
And they just sit there and say Trump
14:30
sucks 15 times a day.
14:32
It's like it's not even comparable.
14:36
But no, it's not.
14:38
Anyone can just say Trump sucks.
14:40
Yeah, we can do it.
14:42
Trump sucks.
14:44
We can get 57 million downloads a day.
14:47
So this is, it's just amazing that you
14:51
predicted this.
14:53
You said that they would go finding this
14:55
and there it is.
14:57
And it's pathetic.
14:59
I mean, it's really, it's no good.
15:02
I tried.
15:03
I'm like, they had an interview.
15:05
Oh, we got a great interview today with
15:06
Jim Acosta.
15:10
That's got to be, that's got to be
15:11
stirring.
15:12
Uh, yeah.
15:13
So no, I, uh, I don't put much
15:17
into this.
15:17
I just thought, well, the thing is they
15:19
were supposed to do a, uh, Rogan, uh,
15:24
Rogan that was going to be Rogan in
15:27
terms of like the way the show is
15:28
structured.
15:29
Three hours of a long conversation with someone
15:31
where the, where the person's drawn out and
15:34
they discuss things in great detail.
15:36
You get to understand and know them in
15:40
that sort of, in that sort of format,
15:43
which is not easy to do.
15:44
Only a few people can do it.
15:46
And, uh, that's what they were supposed to
15:48
find somebody could do that.
15:49
And they can't.
15:52
I mean, anyone can do a five, 10
15:54
minute podcast.
15:57
Yeah.
15:58
They'll be coming out of pod Angeles, pod
16:01
Angeles studios.
16:03
Oh, the pod Angeles studios.
16:05
Yes, indeed.
16:07
Um, well, and we may have to make
16:10
a new prediction about something else.
16:11
Very soon.
16:12
Pope Francis continues his recovery from pneumonia, eating
16:15
breakfast out of bed on Thursday morning after
16:17
a six peaceful night at the hospital.
16:19
The Vatican said the Holy see spokesman Mattia
16:22
Bruni issued a new update after confirming late
16:25
Wednesday, that new blood tests showed a slight
16:27
improvement in some of the inflammations.
16:29
The pontiff was visited on Wednesday by Italian
16:32
prime minister, Georgia Maloney, his first known VIP
16:34
visitor.
16:35
How is she a non VIP visitor?
16:38
I think it is botching a loopy guy
16:40
doing that.
16:41
And that's your own news.
16:46
For some reason, a minister, Georgia Maloney is
16:48
first known VIP visitor.
16:49
She reported after their 20 minute visit that
16:51
the Holy father was in good spirits and
16:53
had joked around as always.
16:55
Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital
16:58
on February 14th after a bout of bronchitis.
17:00
He is diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs
17:03
on top of a polymicrobial infection in his
17:06
respiratory tract, meaning a combination of bacteria, virus
17:09
and fungi.
17:16
I don't wish ill on anyone, but, you
17:19
know, at 88, this is not a good
17:21
thing for the for the pope.
17:23
And now, in fact, this is pneumonia that
17:25
kills most.
17:26
That's what kills most people.
17:27
It kills most people.
17:29
And, of course, I predicted this guy would
17:32
become the pope.
17:33
And I base that on geopolitical insights, as
17:37
we always do.
17:38
Same as us predicting the Super Bowl.
17:39
Exactly.
17:40
And you will predict the next pope, too.
17:43
Yes, I'm absolutely convinced of it.
17:46
This is not a prediction, but I have
17:49
my eye on Robert Serra of Guinea.
17:53
Of where?
17:54
Guinea.
17:55
Guinea?
17:56
Guinea.
17:56
Yes.
17:58
Guinea.
17:58
Guinea.
17:59
Yeah.
17:59
I think we need a black pope.
18:02
Oh, yeah, that's an interesting.
18:04
Yeah.
18:04
I, you know, we need we need to
18:07
we need to.
18:07
A black pope.
18:08
A black pope.
18:09
Yes.
18:10
I'm thinking that I'm not sure.
18:11
I'm not.
18:12
This is not my final prediction, but I'm
18:15
liking this guy as a candidate.
18:17
Because he's very conservative.
18:21
And I think Guinea is just interesting.
18:24
I think Guinea may be maybe the place
18:26
to be.
18:28
The place to be.
18:29
Well, well, I mean, we need we need
18:31
a pope from Africa.
18:32
We had a pope from South America, now
18:35
a pope from Africa.
18:36
That would that seems on brand for the
18:38
Vatican.
18:40
I mean, we know it's.
18:42
How about a Russian pope?
18:43
Yeah, good luck with that.
18:46
That's not going to happen.
18:48
No, there's now there is a Filipino possibility.
18:54
But that would clash.
18:55
I mean, that would be really clashing with
18:58
with China.
18:59
And then we have another guy.
19:01
Well, that might be not a bad idea
19:02
to clash.
19:03
That's possible.
19:04
We have a guy from Ghana.
19:07
So I'm still I'm still working on it.
19:09
But and I don't want to make any
19:11
predictions until until it's time for a new
19:13
pope.
19:13
That just would not be appropriate.
19:16
I'm not going to do that.
19:17
But I'm thinking I'm thinking about it.
19:22
You are.
19:23
Let's talk about some things that are really
19:24
going on.
19:25
I mean, our show is done.
19:27
We just nailed it with everything.
19:29
What more do we need to do?
19:30
I think we should talk about the DOJ.
19:33
Let's try these clips.
19:34
DOJ foil.
19:36
Fail, I think supposed to be.
19:39
OK, I have four, three to NPR.
19:42
Love it.
19:43
We are now about one month into President
19:45
Trump's term and Justice Department veterans are starting
19:49
to notice a pattern.
19:51
They say the DOJ seems to be more
19:53
lenient with people who appear loyal to the
19:56
president.
19:57
NPR Justice Correspondent Gary Johnson has been reporting
20:00
on some of those cases.
20:01
Hi there.
20:02
Hey there.
20:02
Hi there.
20:03
Hey there.
20:03
Hi there.
20:03
Hey there.
20:04
Hi there.
20:04
So we're talking, obviously, about politically sensitive cases.
20:08
What exactly are you hearing from people both
20:11
in and outside the Justice Department?
20:14
Steven Salzberg spent years at justice under Presidents
20:17
Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
20:20
He says alarm is actually an understatement about
20:22
what's happening there.
20:23
Prosecutors seem to be backing away from cases
20:26
against people with ties to Donald Trump.
20:29
There are patterns that we haven't really seen
20:32
in the past.
20:33
None of the patterns inspire a lot of
20:35
confidence that the department is being evenhanded in
20:39
its approach to cases.
20:41
Salzberg says this actually started on Inauguration Day
20:44
with Trump's clemency for more than 1,500
20:46
people who took part in the Capitol riot.
20:49
He says it looks like Trump wanted to
20:50
cut those people a break because they were
20:53
acting on his behalf.
20:55
Just as a...
20:55
Wait, wait.
20:56
Before you go, I just want to mention
20:58
what she just said about the clemency and
21:02
the parts has nothing, absolutely nothing to do
21:06
with the Justice Department.
21:07
No, that was Trump's pardon.
21:09
Yeah.
21:10
Okay.
21:10
Now, you were saying?
21:11
Well, I was going to say the Department
21:14
of Justice falls under the executive branch, correct?
21:18
Yep.
21:18
And who's in charge of the executive branch?
21:20
Let me think.
21:22
Let me look at my sheets.
21:23
Oh, Trump.
21:24
Yeah, yeah, the president.
21:27
Okay.
21:27
All right.
21:28
Well, now it gets...
21:29
Now the propaganda from these jokers gets worse.
21:33
I will inject a reminder here that Trump,
21:36
of course, was himself investigated by the Justice
21:38
Department, was charged twice by the Justice Department.
21:42
Prosecutors dropped those charges against him after he
21:45
won the election in November.
21:46
Is that experience echoing through the Justice Department
21:50
now?
21:50
It absolutely is.
21:51
After Trump returned to the White House, prosecutors
21:53
abandoned their obstruction case against two of his
21:56
aides at the Mar-a-Lago resort, while
21:59
Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira allegedly helped Trump
22:02
hide classified documents from the FBI.
22:04
Allegedly.
22:05
And Trump's spoken a lot lately about how
22:07
the Justice Department went after him.
22:09
He says that gave him an appreciation for
22:11
the plight of other politicians accused of wrongdoing.
22:14
That's really showed.
22:15
In recent weeks, DOJ dropped a case against
22:17
former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry.
22:21
Oh, man.
22:22
Okay, stop it there.
22:24
They dropped the case.
22:26
The case was overturned.
22:29
It was still pending, but it was overturned
22:31
on appeal.
22:32
It was overturned.
22:33
And so they dropped the case that was
22:34
overturned.
22:35
They don't...
22:35
Did they mention that?
22:36
No.
22:37
This is NPR, our national treasure.
22:40
Are you telling me that they are propagandizing
22:42
and lying?
22:43
Or just maybe spreading misinformation?
22:46
So maybe there's another instance of this.
22:50
Prosecutors in Nashville withdrew from an investigation against
22:53
Republican Congressman Andy Ogles.
22:56
Ogles, of course, had introduced a bill that
22:58
would clear the way for Trump to serve
22:59
a third term in office.
23:02
Okay, Ogle.
23:04
What was the case against Ogle?
23:06
Did they tell you?
23:07
No, I have no idea.
23:08
But they dropped a case.
23:09
He failed to file his election, some election
23:13
paperwork two weeks late, which was illegal.
23:17
Yes.
23:18
So it was a process.
23:20
It was a process of persecution, I guess
23:24
is the word I should use.
23:26
It was bullcrap.
23:28
It was one of those minor things.
23:30
It was paperwork.
23:31
And so they, oh, they dropped the case
23:32
against him.
23:33
Oh, my God.
23:34
What are we going to do?
23:34
And then they throw in the little, basically
23:37
a non sequitur.
23:39
He introduced, and everybody does this for both
23:41
sides of the aisle.
23:43
Oh, yeah, all the time.
23:43
Introduce, oh, let him in for another season
23:45
or whatever.
23:46
A reveal.
23:46
And so they throw that in to compound
23:49
the bullcrap.
23:50
This is basically a report of lies.
23:54
NPR has turned into just a propagandistic tool
23:58
for the Democrat Party.
24:00
What do you mean turned into?
24:01
Okay, gambling.
24:02
Turned into gambling.
24:05
And then on Friday, the DOJ moved to
24:07
dismiss the case against New York Mayor Eric
24:09
Adams.
24:10
Yeah, this is good.
24:10
Stay with the Mayor Adams case for a
24:11
sec.
24:11
It's a big one.
24:12
And I know the fallout is.
24:13
Hey, by the way, is she a disciple
24:15
of the other guys?
24:17
I knew you'd spot that.
24:19
Yes, she's talking like this.
24:20
Yeah, she talks like the same way the
24:22
other guy does.
24:22
Yes, she's NPR's.
24:26
She knew I would spot it.
24:27
You have anything to say about it?
24:28
Or it's just what it is?
24:30
Yeah, it's just what it is.
24:31
Stay with the Mayor Adams case for a
24:33
sec.
24:33
That's a big one.
24:34
And I know the fallout is continuing.
24:36
What is the latest?
24:37
Seven prosecutors quit rather than move to drop
24:39
that case.
24:40
They said it looked like an unlawful quid
24:42
pro quo.
24:43
Adams and his lawyer have flatly denied that.
24:45
But the judge in the case, Dale Ho,
24:47
has ordered both sides to court Wednesday in
24:50
New York to explain why the prosecution's being
24:52
dismissed.
24:53
And meanwhile, more than 900 former Justice Department
24:56
prosecutors signed a letter to salute the people
24:59
still at justice for responding to ethical challenges
25:02
with courage and conviction.
25:04
One of the people who signed is Peter
25:05
Zydenberg.
25:06
He says senior lawyers at justice did not
25:09
seem to hide they were acting for political
25:11
reasons to secure Eric Adams' cooperation with immigration
25:15
agents.
25:16
The politicization of the Department of Justice seems
25:20
like it's complete.
25:21
But the chief of staff to the current
25:22
attorney general says this DOJ wants to focus
25:25
on its core function of prosecuting dangerous criminals,
25:29
not pursuing politically motivated witch hunts.
25:36
Hmm, that sounds wrong to me.
25:38
Sure.
25:38
You know, if you and I were running
25:41
NPR, we would not allow her to continue
25:44
on the air.
25:45
I mean, she sounds so hoity toity.
25:48
It's just she may not be.
25:50
She may be a very fine person on
25:52
both sides.
25:54
But when she goes, doesn't that miss the
25:58
mark on your audience?
26:00
I think so.
26:01
Yeah, I really think so.
26:03
They have a lot of people like that.
26:05
They also have a couple of screechers and
26:07
some people that can barely enunciate.
26:10
Yes.
26:10
It's pathetic.
26:11
Yes.
26:11
Hey, hi.
26:12
Hello.
26:12
So how are you doing?
26:13
And they get government money.
26:14
And I didn't cut this.
26:16
Not much.
26:17
Not much.
26:18
Let's stop with that.
26:19
More than we get.
26:20
Well, that's true.
26:23
If we were trans, we'd be rolling in
26:25
dough.
26:27
We missed an obvious opportunity.
26:30
Missed an obvious opportunity.
26:31
True.
26:31
True that.
26:32
True that, boy.
26:33
That reminds me of something that current Attorney
26:35
General, this is Pam Bondi, something she said,
26:38
which is that she wants to go after
26:39
weaponization.
26:41
She does.
26:42
Bondi seems to be focused on people who
26:44
help bring cases against Donald Trump.
26:46
Harvard law professor Jack Goldsmith wrote this week,
26:49
this all seems to be doublespeak, part of
26:51
a playbook to weaponize DOJ law enforcement like
26:54
never before against Trump's perceived enemies.
26:57
And the fear of many of my sources
26:59
is that the DOJ will, on one hand,
27:02
move to help Trump's friends get out of
27:04
trouble.
27:05
And on the other, use its vast powers
27:07
of investigation and prosecution against people who have
27:10
criticized the president.
27:12
And here's Kerry Johnson there.
27:14
Thanks, Kerry.
27:14
Thanks for having me.
27:15
Thanks.
27:16
Does this help his friends, help his friends
27:20
get out of trouble?
27:21
That includes Eric Adams, the Democrat who never
27:23
liked Trump.
27:24
He's one of his friends.
27:25
Is that the deal?
27:26
And these other two doofuses that just had,
27:29
you know, some paperwork issues that that's it.
27:31
That's that's the best examples.
27:33
The only examples they could come up with
27:35
was some guy's case, which is already overturned.
27:38
And another guy who failed to file some
27:41
election paperwork within the two week time limit.
27:43
You're very mad at people who have no
27:45
audience.
27:48
They have an audience.
27:50
People listen on the radio.
27:51
Here's an update on the Eric Adams case.
27:53
Embattled Mayor Eric Adams greeted like a villain
27:56
when he arrived at federal court.
28:00
How is that greeting him like a villain?
28:03
It's like greeting him like the opposing team.
28:09
Walking out like a victorious hero after Judge
28:12
Dale Ho gave no indication he would deny
28:15
DOJ's request to dismiss the corruption case against
28:18
him while calling it a very unusual situation.
28:21
The judge conceding the court does have a
28:23
limited role to play.
28:25
When asked by the judge if the mayor
28:26
understood the charges could be reinstated, Adams telling
28:29
the court, I have not committed a crime.
28:31
I don't see them bringing it back.
28:33
I'm not afraid of that.
28:34
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emile Bouvier adding, I
28:37
don't have any plans to bring back the
28:39
case in the future.
28:40
The acting U.S. attorney and six other
28:42
federal prosecutors resigned last week in protest, claiming
28:45
the mayor cut a deal with the Trump
28:46
administration to enforce immigration policies.
28:49
Monday, four deputy mayors stepped down, prompting Governor
28:52
Hochul to hold meetings this week with key
28:54
leaders on if she should remove the mayor
28:56
from office.
28:57
But Bouvier says this is DOJ's straight prosecutorial
28:59
discretion.
29:00
There is no quid pro quo.
29:02
And even if it was, there wouldn't be
29:04
any issue with that.
29:05
Meanwhile, was forced to put on the record
29:07
that the reason for dismissing the case was
29:09
because it interferes with the mayor's ability to
29:11
enforce the president's immigration agenda.
29:14
So Eric Adams, good to go.
29:16
I guess because this kicks him out, which
29:20
is a possibility they have been discussing and
29:22
are discussing.
29:24
One of our producers sent me a note
29:26
about Sassoon, the acting attorney general.
29:28
She looks 20, by the way.
29:30
She's pretty young, very young, youthful.
29:32
Yeah.
29:32
The one who quit after three weeks on
29:34
the job.
29:35
They would say keep fail, keep failing to
29:37
mention in all the reporting.
29:39
Yes.
29:39
And who who is a member of the
29:43
Sassoon family, which I learned is one of
29:45
the big banker families, particularly notorious, allegedly, for
29:49
making their fortune off of opium addicts in
29:51
China in the 1900s.
29:54
Oh, how about that?
29:56
Isn't that interesting?
29:58
So who's the billionaire now, huh?
30:02
All right.
30:02
Since you, you threw those clips on me
30:05
and made me sit through it, I'm going
30:07
to bring you into...
30:08
I can't make you do anything.
30:10
I'm going to bring you into the realm
30:12
of pooper.
30:12
I mean, if they really wanted to be
30:14
transparent, which they say they are being transparent,
30:16
but if they really wanted to, I mean,
30:17
they could have cameras with the Doge team.
30:22
Here's body cams.
30:23
This is body cams on the Doge team.
30:27
That's exactly what he's talking about.
30:29
As they're, you know, running the wood chipper
30:32
and dismantling, you know, putting agencies through wood
30:35
chipper.
30:36
He's putting, he's putting everything into wood chipper,
30:38
but give him body cams.
30:40
Through the wood chipper.
30:40
I mean, we've seen the president had cameras
30:42
in the Oval Office.
30:43
Should be live streaming on TikTok.
30:46
Is he signing executive order after executive order?
30:49
There are other things they could do to
30:50
be more transparent, aren't there?
30:52
Certainly.
30:52
And the question really has been, what is
30:54
accurate?
30:55
I love how she just said, certainly.
30:57
But hold on a second.
30:58
He's signing these executive orders in front of
31:01
the press.
31:02
Yeah.
31:03
How much more transparent?
31:04
And then they talk about it and then
31:05
he'll take questions on every one of them.
31:08
How more transparent is he supposed to be
31:10
naked, maybe sitting there?
31:12
It's not about the president.
31:13
It's about the co-president.
31:15
We want a body cam on Elon.
31:18
He should do that, by the way.
31:19
That'd be pretty funny.
31:21
He'd get a lot of hits if he
31:22
had run a live stream.
31:23
I think it's a great idea.
31:25
I think you should take this to heart
31:26
and make the Doge team wear body cams.
31:28
Especially with all the sex he's having with
31:30
all these various women.
31:31
Certainly.
31:33
The question really has been, what is accurate
31:35
about what they are finding and what they
31:37
are uncovering?
31:37
We're seeing allegations from White House officials that
31:41
tens of millions of people are receiving Social
31:42
Security that are either dead or should not
31:45
be receiving it.
31:46
Obviously, that would be a third of people
31:48
who get Social Security.
31:49
When you actually look at audits that have
31:51
been done, including one that was done, I
31:53
believe, two years ago in 2023.
31:55
This is something that the government has been
31:56
reviewing in the past.
31:57
It's not a newfound idea.
31:59
But then sometimes there are claims that you've
32:01
seen the administration make, including when Elon Musk
32:04
was confronted about one of them, about condoms
32:06
going to Gaza in the Oval Office, who
32:08
said it was not true and that he
32:09
would correct things when they were wrong.
32:11
But oftentimes, it takes some work going on
32:13
behind the scenes to ask them about that
32:15
before they get there.
32:16
Wait, hold on, stop.
32:19
She goes on and talks about it wasn't
32:21
true, but they don't talk about what did
32:23
happen, which was the same amount of condoms
32:26
went to Mozambique, which he called them out
32:29
on when they said, hey, it never went
32:31
to Gaza, they went to Mozambique.
32:33
And he said, yeah, so that's good.
32:34
That's better.
32:35
What are you talking about?
32:36
Hey, man.
32:37
So she just blows by that information.
32:40
It's AC 360, man.
32:42
I mean, it's even lower than NPR.
32:45
They're running us out of town.
32:47
We won't have media to deconstruct if they
32:49
keep this up.
32:50
Well, no, now we got the Midas touch.
32:53
No, it's true.
32:54
When they were wrong.
32:55
But oftentimes, it takes some work going on
32:57
behind the scenes to ask them about that
32:59
before they get there.
33:01
And so I think that has been a
33:02
big part of the question here in terms
33:04
of accountability and transparency and what's actually accurate
33:07
and what is fraud and what is simply
33:09
something that this administration disagrees with.
33:12
Before I continue with this series breaking news,
33:15
Kash Patel has been confirmed.
33:17
Good.
33:18
Yes.
33:18
That should be good for a laugh.
33:22
Yeah.
33:23
And now you're right.
33:24
Every single one of his nominees went through.
33:28
Except for Matt Gaetz.
33:30
Well, yeah, I mean, he bailed.
33:32
He bailed early.
33:33
Now, Anderson.
33:35
I mean, this is how low CNN has
33:37
come.
33:39
It's like, who can we bring in to
33:41
talk about Doge?
33:43
Come on, John.
33:43
You know who?
33:46
Hotep.
33:48
Close.
33:48
You know, there were there were camera crews
33:50
with the Marines on, you know, and the
33:53
military on D-Day as they landed at
33:55
the beach to show the American people.
33:57
Oh, did the did the Marines have body
33:59
cams?
34:00
Hey, a D-Day.
34:02
They had camera crews.
34:03
I mean, we should have them at Doge
34:05
Day.
34:05
What kind of comparison is this?
34:08
This is off the wall.
34:10
This is insane.
34:11
As they landed at the beach to show
34:13
the American people what was happening.
34:14
I don't understand why not be transparent.
34:17
I think anybody from any political background.
34:20
I've never heard this in the news media
34:23
that that they that they want body cams
34:26
on.
34:26
I mean, let's put body cams on attorneys
34:29
general.
34:30
Let's put body.
34:31
You know what?
34:32
Let's put a body cam on Anderson Cooper.
34:34
How about this for an idea?
34:36
And I've written about this in my sub
34:37
stack column.
34:37
They've worked at sub stack dot com.
34:40
Let's put cams in the classroom.
34:43
Now you're talking.
34:44
I have body cams on the teachers that
34:46
first would be happy with cutting waste and
34:50
cutting inefficiencies and any kind of abuse and
34:53
any kind of bloat and all that stuff.
34:55
Why not be super transparent about it?
34:57
This group was fired because X, Y and
35:00
Z.
35:01
And we don't even know the decision making
35:03
process.
35:04
You know, you hear reports about from people
35:05
have been fired that like I had to
35:07
go to present in front of some, you
35:09
know, 20 something year old who knows nothing
35:12
about my agency.
35:13
I had to justify my job in a
35:16
minute or two or something.
35:17
Here she comes.
35:19
Right.
35:19
That's what they want to do.
35:20
They want to create chaos and confusion.
35:23
Girl, it's Kara.
35:24
It's your protege.
35:25
It's because these decisions aren't very well made
35:28
because they're not interested in reforming.
35:30
They're interested in reforming.
35:31
They would pass congressional laws.
35:32
Right.
35:33
That's the way you do it.
35:34
But they're interested in doing is shock and
35:36
awe.
35:36
And we're coming in.
35:37
We're just going to cut.
35:38
It's a very common thing that Elon does
35:40
at all his companies.
35:40
He comes in and upends.
35:42
Someone at one of his companies says he
35:44
comes in, he upends a trash can and
35:46
then runs out.
35:47
And everyone's summarily scared.
35:49
And then they get back to work.
35:50
And in this case, that's what he's doing.
35:52
He's creating a situation of discomfort among these
35:56
people to do that.
35:57
But they don't want you to see it
35:59
because either there's nothing to see or they're
36:01
doing things, perhaps not the most legal of
36:04
ways.
36:04
And I probably both of those are true.
36:06
Yes.
36:08
I think actually played one out of order.
36:10
This was this is where introduction.
36:12
Much more now on Elon Musk and Doge
36:13
and who's running it, among many other things.
36:15
Joining us is Kara Swisher, who knows Elon
36:17
Musk well and is often written about him.
36:18
She's an incurred his ire, of course.
36:20
She's host of podcasts.
36:22
The podcast on with Kara Swisher, co-host
36:24
of Pivot.
36:25
And we're happy to say a CNN contributor.
36:27
So Kara, who runs Doge?
36:28
We need to get a big become.
36:30
When did she become a CNN contributor?
36:31
Well, she's on that show.
36:33
She was on the show with with Chris,
36:35
the guy who left, who became a podcaster.
36:37
Cuomo?
36:38
No, no, no.
36:39
The Fox guy.
36:41
Chris Hayes?
36:42
No, the Fox guy.
36:44
What's his name?
36:44
Fox guy.
36:45
Yeah.
36:45
The guy who left Fox for CNN, then
36:48
left CNN to become a podcaster instead of
36:51
the humiliation of being fired.
36:53
Chris Wallace.
36:54
Oh, Chris Wallace.
36:55
Yes.
36:56
Chris Wallace.
36:56
So and then she was on his panel.
36:59
I'm sorry.
37:00
Yeah, this is not a, you know, a
37:02
Kumbaya group of people making decisions.
37:04
This is Elon Musk making decisions or presenting
37:06
things to the president.
37:07
The president just shakes his head.
37:08
I doubt he very much knows a lot
37:10
of the specifics of what they're doing.
37:11
But diving into agencies like this, like they're
37:14
like they're a marine force attacking a beach.
37:16
That's what they're doing.
37:17
They're creating fear.
37:18
They're creating a narrative about they're coming.
37:21
They're coming to get you.
37:22
And, you know, what they're really trying to
37:25
do, if you what I think they're trying
37:26
to do is get control of this data
37:28
for purposes of uniting.
37:31
I love how so the narrative they have
37:34
created.
37:36
That these media people have created is that
37:39
they're storming the beaches.
37:40
What I think they're trying to do is
37:42
get control of this data for purposes of
37:45
uniting it in some way, using AI, probably
37:47
Elon's AI company to do so.
37:49
So I'm always paying attention to what they're
37:51
after, which is to me.
37:54
What is she even talking about?
37:56
They're trying to get a hold of the
37:57
data.
37:57
They're going to try to unite it.
37:59
What do you mean?
38:00
What does she mean by they're trying to
38:02
unite it?
38:03
They're trying to use Elon's AI company to
38:05
do it.
38:06
Unite it.
38:07
What is she talking about?
38:08
Yes, the beaches are back open.
38:11
Yeah, I have no idea.
38:12
Much more now on.
38:13
Oops, hold on.
38:14
Let's move on to the next piece.
38:16
You know, let's play just a bite of
38:17
one other clip from this interview.
38:20
I used to be adored by the left.
38:21
You know, not anymore.
38:22
Hey, this is the end.
38:23
This everyone and oh, they're playing this over
38:26
and I can't believe we had Elon and
38:28
the and the president, his co-president.
38:31
They did an interview on Fox, of course,
38:34
on Fox, of course.
38:35
Used to be adored by the left.
38:36
You know, not anymore.
38:37
Less so these days.
38:38
He killed that, huh?
38:39
I mean, less.
38:40
I really didn't.
38:42
I mean, it's this whole sort of like,
38:43
you know, it's they call it like Trump
38:46
derangement syndrome.
38:47
And I don't you know, you don't realize
38:48
how real this is until like it's you
38:51
can't reason with people.
38:52
So like I was at a friend's birthday
38:54
party in LA, just a birthday dinner.
38:56
I have to mention the president's name.
38:58
And it was like they got shot with
38:59
a dart in the jugular that contained like
39:01
methamphetamine and rabies.
39:03
OK, good line.
39:05
What is wrong with guys like you can't
39:08
have like a normal conversation.
39:10
Yeah.
39:10
And it's like it's like they become completely
39:13
irrational.
39:14
I'm going to confirm this.
39:16
I have received several emails in the past
39:19
few days in between shows of people saying
39:21
my liberal friends have basically divorced me.
39:25
Like this, like, you know, won't talk.
39:28
One of our friends is a yoga instructor.
39:31
I don't get it because I thought this
39:33
was over.
39:34
No, it's accelerated.
39:36
I've reacquainted myself with the lib joes.
39:39
Well, just you wait.
39:41
No, I think I think we're just ahead
39:43
of the curve here in California.
39:45
That's OK.
39:47
One of our friends is a yoga instructor
39:49
in in Illinois.
39:53
And and one of her long term clients
39:57
all of a sudden went, you're to blame
39:59
for this.
40:00
You voted for him, you Christian nationalists.
40:03
I mean, she was shocked.
40:05
She was shocked.
40:07
Christian nationalist.
40:08
I know, you know, just parrot everything mean.
40:13
Well, that's exactly as he called us.
40:15
And Tina says, Adam, could you just tell
40:16
her what what Christian nationalism is?
40:18
It's a bullcrap term that was made up.
40:22
Yeah, it's like conspiracy theorists.
40:24
I think the CIA dreamed it up.
40:25
Yeah.
40:26
But the whole idea is if you do
40:27
not agree with them, they call you unintelligent,
40:31
stupid, expected better from you, sexist, racist, Nazi.
40:35
And then I can't talk with you anymore.
40:37
I'm sorry.
40:37
I can't talk with you anymore.
40:38
Can't talk with you anymore.
40:40
And Trump is coming for your Social Security.
40:43
By the way, I will say Tina received
40:45
her first Social Security check this month.
40:48
This is Tina.
40:49
Sixty two.
40:51
She took early until she was sixty five.
40:54
Now she's early.
40:55
We know she went and she did the
40:57
early.
40:57
OK, yeah, yeah.
40:59
Well, after the covid shots, I think, yeah,
41:01
you want to take the early because you're
41:03
not going to make it that long.
41:03
She didn't take a covid shot.
41:05
What are you talking about?
41:06
What's wrong with you?
41:08
I'm talking for in general.
41:09
Oh, in general.
41:10
Yes.
41:10
OK.
41:11
It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them
41:13
and also how a lot of people in
41:14
the company of Elon Musk like have this
41:16
fake laugh, like what he's saying is like
41:18
super, super funny.
41:20
I know every joke, joke.
41:21
Well, it's everything is.
41:22
Have you noticed this?
41:23
The fake.
41:24
We have to be on the lookout.
41:25
Who does the fake laugh?
41:27
I haven't.
41:28
I'm sorry.
41:28
I didn't.
41:29
Whatever she was saying, I didn't understand what
41:31
she's talking about, what Anderson Cooper says.
41:33
Listen again.
41:34
It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them
41:36
and also how a lot of people in
41:37
the company of Elon Musk like have this
41:39
fake laugh, like what he's saying is like
41:41
super, super funny.
41:43
I know every joke, joke.
41:44
Well, it's everything is super funny when they're
41:46
the world's richest man.
41:47
In case you're interested, if you ever get
41:48
to that status, you know, I think they're
41:51
just trying to show, trying to.
41:52
This is a show.
41:53
What Anderson?
41:54
It said the word show.
41:55
You know, the president said that this is
41:57
the buddy company, and I think that's what
41:59
they're going for.
42:00
And of all people, Donald Trump understands the
42:02
power of narrative.
42:03
And there's a narrative happening here.
42:04
But just don't bother us with the details.
42:06
This is not you know, this is a
42:08
way to do shock and awe rather than
42:09
actually do the hard task of reforming the
42:12
government, which everybody is behind.
42:14
But why do it this way?
42:16
Because it's interesting because it's a show, because
42:18
it's entertaining, because there's is he a villain?
42:21
Is he is the Iron Man or is
42:22
he Thanos like that kind of thing?
42:24
And I think they don't mind if you
42:26
think either thing of them.
42:27
They just want you to keep watching.
42:29
I'm not even going to play my last
42:30
clip, but it's too stupid to listen to.
42:34
What is he talking about?
42:36
They're laughing.
42:37
Apparently, people around Musk have a fake laugh.
42:41
I guess.
42:42
I don't know.
42:43
I mean, I haven't seen any evidence of
42:45
this.
42:45
No, that's why we need to pay attention
42:47
to it.
42:48
Also, look for it also on CNN.
42:51
I know you saw this.
42:52
Don't blow the punch line.
42:53
But this isn't don't blow.
42:56
Don't blow the punch line.
42:57
This is an excellent example of the Mann
42:59
-Gellman amnesia effect.
43:02
And what that means is if you hear
43:05
someone reads originally, if you read something in
43:08
a newspaper that you really are an expert
43:10
on the topic, everybody's an expert on something
43:12
and you read something factually incorrect, you have
43:15
to assume that everything else in that newspaper
43:17
is probably factually incorrect.
43:20
And in this case, they bring on Mr.
43:22
Wonderful, Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary.
43:27
He's also a shark in the shark tank
43:29
and knows nothing.
43:31
They're not whacking enough.
43:33
There's this concept in private equity when you
43:35
get a bankrupt company and you go in
43:38
there, you cut 20 percent more than your
43:41
initial read.
43:42
And then you find like a pool of
43:43
mercury.
43:44
The organization gels back together again.
43:46
Always cut deeper, harder when there's fat and
43:50
waste.
43:51
The FAA is not the people.
43:53
The code is cobalt.
43:55
It's from the 60s.
43:59
It's cobalt, I tell you.
44:01
It's from the 60s.
44:02
It's cobalt.
44:03
And then he goes on to say it
44:05
needs CapEx put into it for the technology
44:08
to be upgraded to make it safer, fat
44:10
like a chicken.
44:12
Safer.
44:14
Cobalt.
44:15
I don't think it's unsafe.
44:18
It may be.
44:19
Oh, it's actually quite secure.
44:21
Yeah, it may be arcane.
44:22
It's just hard to hack.
44:23
Yeah.
44:23
And you may have to use all uppercase,
44:25
but it's it's not a cobalt.
44:29
What a tool.
44:30
Yeah, I saw that, too, obviously, that they
44:35
retweeted it.
44:36
Yeah, I saw staying with the Doge.
44:39
And I I said right away, I found
44:42
this very suspicious and I wanted people to
44:44
to who live in the I think they
44:47
call it the in the DMV area, D
44:52
.C., Virginia, Maryland, to let me know if
44:57
they saw that there was indeed a surge
45:00
of people putting their houses up for sale
45:04
because of the Doge cuts.
45:06
And turns out now.
45:09
Have you seen this post making the rounds
45:10
on social media?
45:11
It shows an explosion of houses hitting the
45:14
market in Arlington County and Falls Church.
45:16
The post suggests that President Trump and Elon
45:19
Musk's slashing of the federal workforce is leading
45:21
to a mass real estate selloff and a
45:24
mass exodus from northern Virginia.
45:26
The chief economist for the National Association of
45:28
Realtors says this viral pick is bogus.
45:31
Right now, we're not seeing any major increase
45:34
in inventory or any plunging in home prices.
45:37
Ashley Waymeier is a real estate agent in
45:39
northern Virginia, and she says this bogus post
45:41
has real estate agents across the area scrambling
45:44
to try to set the story straight.
45:46
Some realtors have been posting because they've been
45:49
getting calls from clients saying, what's going on?
45:51
Is this true?
45:52
Should I put my house on the market
45:53
right now?
45:54
Bottom line, there is no selloff and the
45:56
housing inventory is actually still low in the
45:58
DMV.
45:59
And the numbers prove it.
46:00
Here's a breakdown of the housing inventory in
46:02
northern Virginia for the first two weeks of
46:04
this month compared to the same time last
46:06
year.
46:07
This time period covers the fork in the
46:09
road emails sent to federal workers.
46:11
And what we see here is, well, not
46:13
much other than in Loudoun County, across the
46:16
entire DC metro region, there were just nine
46:19
more homes on the market compared to last
46:21
year.
46:22
That is not significant.
46:23
And like I said, in Loudoun, you are
46:25
seeing that, but you do have the new
46:27
builds and you also have new construction, but
46:29
you also have people who have been ordered
46:32
to return to work.
46:33
And so they're looking, maybe we should come
46:35
back in and be a little bit closer
46:36
now.
46:37
Yeah.
46:37
And that's confirmed by Tom Starkweather, end of
46:40
show mixer, meetup organizer and producer of the
46:43
show.
46:43
He says it's great.
46:45
The traffic going into DC now is at
46:48
a crawl in the morning because everybody has
46:51
to go back to work.
46:53
So it's factually just untrue.
46:57
But, you know, oh, doge is kicking butt
46:59
here.
46:59
Look at that.
47:00
Wow.
47:00
These crazy are losing.
47:02
They're selling their houses.
47:06
No, but I'm sure there will be an
47:07
uptick eventually, by the way.
47:09
Well, there is an uptick of nine houses.
47:12
Nine houses.
47:12
I think when it comes to inflation, which
47:15
is, you know, of course, President Trump, he
47:17
said right away, price is going to do
47:19
it.
47:19
And I put my hand on the Bible,
47:21
which he didn't do.
47:22
Then prices, everything's going to come down.
47:25
Life's going to get cheaper.
47:26
I think it will in housing if they
47:29
count that in the CPI.
47:30
Do they count housing and CPI?
47:32
They take that out, right?
47:34
I think as they keep changing the rules
47:37
for it makes it more fun.
47:39
That doesn't look good.
47:40
Let's take that out.
47:42
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that you'll see housing
47:45
prices go down because the migrant issue is
47:51
ending.
47:52
Hotel prices may come down.
47:54
They have to come down.
47:57
And there's just going to be more housing
47:59
available.
48:00
I'm sure they won't count.
48:01
I think housing and energy.
48:03
Well, that's core.
48:04
We don't want to report on that.
48:06
And we need to report on the hamburger
48:07
helper.
48:08
That's really exciting.
48:09
Eggs.
48:09
Eggs is really expensive.
48:12
Hamburger helper.
48:13
There was another bogus video that I want
48:16
to bring to everyone's attention.
48:17
This was posted on social media as JD
48:23
Vance made the chairman of the Munich Security
48:26
Conference cry after the speech of Vice President
48:30
Vance on Friday.
48:32
We have to fear that our common value
48:35
base is not that common anymore.
48:38
I'm very grateful to all those European politicians
48:42
that spoke out and reaffirmed the values and
48:45
principles that they are defending.
48:46
No one did this better than President Zelensky.
48:51
Let me conclude.
48:52
And this becomes difficult.
49:01
He was leaving his post after being there
49:04
for I don't know how many years.
49:06
And they edited the end into that piece
49:09
and posted it.
49:10
And people went, oh, that's so good.
49:12
Mega is making him cry.
49:15
It's not true.
49:16
It's not true.
49:18
Media lies.
49:20
Gambling, gambling.
49:21
Yeah.
49:21
And while we're on it, let's let's play
49:24
this little bit from Lindy, Lindy Hop, Lady
49:27
G Graham, who, of course, is, you know,
49:29
whoa, I'm all for the president.
49:31
Yeah, he can he can have a meeting
49:34
without Zelensky.
49:35
He can do whatever he wants, because I
49:36
love President Trump.
49:38
I'm all in.
49:38
I'm Lindy Hep G.
49:40
There will be no deal without Ukraine being
49:42
consulted and on board because it won't work.
49:45
I talked to Zelensky today.
49:47
Nobody is going to do anything that that
49:50
you're not involved with.
49:52
But talking to the Russians separately, I'm actually
49:55
OK with that.
49:57
Then go back to Ukraine and see what
49:59
they think and keep working.
50:01
Keep working at the end.
50:02
You got to get both parties into the
50:04
room.
50:04
But those who are criticizing Trump, where were
50:08
you in 2014 to my Democratic friends are
50:12
up in arms.
50:13
You had a chance to deter a Russian
50:15
invasion.
50:15
You failed miserably, miserably.
50:17
I think there's one person that Putin really
50:20
is afraid of.
50:21
That's Trump.
50:22
If you ever get a good deal on
50:24
Ukraine to be because Trump created a sense
50:27
of dread by Russia.
50:30
You know, Senator Graham, that's quite rich of
50:35
you to be saying to my Democratic friends.
50:39
Where were you in 2014?
50:41
Where were you, Lindsey Graham, in 2014?
50:45
Your fight is our fight.
50:49
2017 will be the year of offense.
50:55
All of us will go back to Washington
50:57
and we will push the case against Russia.
51:04
You remember this little bit of video?
51:07
Enough of a Russian aggression.
51:10
I see it is time for them to
51:13
pay a heavier price.
51:14
And he just goes, you are two faced.
51:18
What he was gambling going on.
51:21
Now he's he's horrible.
51:22
He's really horrible.
51:24
I got some Ukraine clips.
51:26
Let's go with this.
51:28
Let's go with the Ukraine peace rap one.
51:31
The special envoy to Ukraine and Russia is
51:33
in Kyiv today.
51:34
That's as President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr
51:37
Zelensky exchange strong accusations.
51:40
NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Postar, has the Ukraine
51:44
update.
51:46
Postar's the guy.
51:47
Here's our guy.
51:48
What is he?
51:49
Our guy?
51:49
He's the guy with the voice.
51:51
Oh.
51:52
NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Postar, has the Ukraine
51:55
update.
51:55
The new Jeff Begay's special envoy to Ukraine
51:58
and Russia, Keith Kellogg, is in Kyiv this
52:00
week.
52:01
He already met with some high ranking officials
52:03
on Wednesday and is scheduled to sit down
52:05
with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well.
52:08
General Kellogg is already in Kyiv.
52:12
He has met with Commander in Chief Sirsky,
52:14
our intelligence and special service heads, and the
52:16
head of my office.
52:18
Our meeting with General Kellogg is scheduled for
52:20
tomorrow.
52:20
Kellogg's visit to Kyiv comes after he was
52:23
part of a U.S. delegation that held
52:25
talks with Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia.
52:28
Zelensky has repeatedly said the U.S. and
52:30
Russia can't agree on a peace deal without
52:33
Ukraine being involved in the talks.
52:35
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this on Wednesday.
52:39
President Trump told me during our phone call
52:41
that the U.S. assumed that both Russia
52:43
and Ukraine will take part in the negotiating
52:45
process.
52:47
Nobody is excluding Ukraine from this process.
52:50
They took like 48 hours, everyone moaning and
52:54
groaning about us, America, forget who, it doesn't
52:59
even matter who it is, talking to Russia
53:05
separately outside of Ukraine, just our own little
53:11
deals, you know, what can we do here?
53:13
And then everyone's all up in arms and
53:15
Zelensky starts saying that Trump is falling for
53:18
Russian disinformation.
53:20
Like, what kind of an idiot is this
53:22
guy?
53:25
Well, he's worried sick.
53:26
So he cut out.
53:28
Well, he cut out of the payoff.
53:30
By the way, I hear that the U
53:33
.S. has halted all weapon sales to Ukraine.
53:37
This is coming from inside Ukraine.
53:40
I mean, the ammo is a big problem.
53:44
Yeah, well, that's what's going to happen.
53:45
Yes.
53:46
We just can't keep, you know, we're not
53:48
going to just weaken ourselves to an extreme
53:51
by just propping up Ukraine and when it
53:54
seems to be like just part of a
53:56
corrupt money laundering operation from the looks of
53:58
it.
53:59
That's not true, man, because all that money
54:01
went to U.S. contractors.
54:04
Yeah, sure it did.
54:05
So here we go with part two.
54:07
President Trump took to social media on Wednesday
54:09
addressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
54:13
Trump wrote that a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr
54:16
Zelensky, talked the United States of America into
54:19
spending $350 billion.
54:22
On top of this, Zelensky admits that half
54:24
of the money we sent him is missing.
54:27
Trump also called Zelensky a dictator without elections.
54:31
Zelensky better move fast or he's not going
54:34
to have a country left.
54:35
Man, he's channeling Schwarzenegger here.
54:38
He better move fast.
54:39
Otherwise, he won't have to listen to this.
54:41
Zelensky better move fast or he's not going
54:44
to have a country left.
54:45
The fast.
54:46
That's how Schwarzenegger would say it.
54:47
I never thought of him sounding like Schwarzenegger.
54:49
As you mentioned it, I'm going to have
54:51
to be hearing that forever.
54:53
Yeah, you're welcome.
54:53
Because of the ongoing fighting in Ukraine, the
54:56
country skipped its presidential elections after Zelensky's term
54:59
expired.
55:01
On Tuesday night, a reporter asked Trump if
55:03
Ukraine should hold presidential elections.
55:06
Where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I
55:08
hate to say it, but he's down at
55:09
4% approval rating.
55:12
Wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say
55:13
like, you know, it's been a long time
55:15
since we've had an election?
55:17
On Wednesday, Zelensky responded to Trump's comments.
55:20
Since we are talking about 4%, we have
55:25
seen this disinformation.
55:27
We understand that this is coming from Russia.
55:30
These numbers are being discussed between America and
55:33
Russia.
55:35
Zelensky added that Trump is living, quote, in
55:38
a Russian disinformation space.
55:40
But Trump says that the need for elections
55:42
in Ukraine is not coming from Russia, but
55:44
rather from the people of Ukraine and other
55:47
allied countries.
55:49
That's really interesting how that was the next
55:53
talking point.
55:54
Oh, Bill, his fee is 50% according
55:57
to some agency in Ukraine.
56:02
Whatever.
56:04
Did you hear Trump on Air Force One
56:06
talking about, because he sent over Besant.
56:08
He sent Besant over to collect the minerals
56:14
with a big bag.
56:15
Our treasury secretary went with a big satchel.
56:19
Like, I'm here to collect the minerals.
56:20
Let me see if you can hear this.
56:21
It was on Air Force One, so the
56:23
audio is not great.
56:31
Can you hear this okay?
56:33
Yeah, not really.
56:35
It's easier for you to summarize.
56:38
Well, okay.
56:45
Essentially, they told him, no, Zelensky was sleeping
56:49
and unavailable.
56:51
So they sent Scott Besant to do the
56:53
deal for the rare earth minerals.
56:55
And they said, no, Zelensky can't meet with
56:57
you.
56:57
He's sleeping.
57:00
And then, and I want to get to
57:01
your anal clips in a moment.
57:04
Now, now I keep hearing out of Europe,
57:08
Europe is putting together a package of 735
57:12
billion dollars or euros, almost the same these
57:16
days, to help Ukraine to get them to,
57:20
you know, to be in a position of
57:23
strength.
57:23
And I'm like, where is this money coming
57:25
from?
57:26
Who has 735 billion euros in Europe to
57:31
give to Ukraine?
57:32
And how will the EU citizens feel about
57:35
that?
57:36
And of course, then we got France 24
57:39
explaining it to me.
57:40
European and Ukrainian leaders obviously very unhappy with
57:43
the Trump administration's plan to negotiate bilaterally with
57:46
Russia on ending the war without input from
57:49
Brussels or Kyiv.
57:51
As Trump is clearly looking to end US
57:53
financing for Ukraine's war effort, Kyiv has been
57:55
pushing the idea of using frozen Russian assets
57:59
to replace that funding.
58:00
Roughly $300 billion worth of securities and cash
58:05
have been frozen in the European asset clearinghouse
58:07
Euroclear following Russia's 2022 invasion, most of those
58:12
assets belonging to Russia's central bank.
58:15
Some $50 billion in profits and interest from
58:18
that capital have already been seized and funneled
58:21
to Ukraine in the form of loans.
58:24
The US and the UK had previously suggested
58:26
seizing the entire pile outright.
58:29
That idea, though, faced resistance at the time
58:31
from European economic powers, notably France and Germany,
58:35
who feared that it would set a dangerous
58:37
precedent that could eventually destabilize the euro currency.
58:41
In the current context, though, EU leaders appear
58:43
increasingly open to the idea.
58:46
Here's Finland's president this weekend.
58:47
The first phase is the pre-negotiation.
58:51
And this is the moment when we need
58:52
to rearm Ukraine and put maximum pressure on
58:58
Russia, which means sanctions, which means frozen assets
59:03
so that Ukraine begins these negotiations from a
59:07
position of strength.
59:09
Oh, Finland, you're getting roped into something you
59:12
don't want to be in.
59:15
This this crazy idea, it was already sketchy.
59:18
I'll say sketchy of them to take the
59:22
50 billion of interest as a loan.
59:25
Don't worry, by the way, I think we
59:26
were in the middle of that deal.
59:28
And now they want to take the three,
59:30
300, 350 billion.
59:32
Just steal it.
59:32
Steal it.
59:33
That's a bad idea, supply.
59:37
It's a bad idea.
59:38
Yeah, you lose all confidence in the entire
59:41
European banking system.
59:42
The whole system.
59:43
Yeah, you can't do that.
59:44
And so it collapsed.
59:45
I mean, it's already, somebody's already done the
59:47
numbers on this.
59:48
The Russian economy is not doing that bad.
59:51
In fact, it's doing quite well compared to
59:52
the EU, which is doing poorly ever since
59:55
the EU really started, you know, getting cranked
59:58
up in the early 2000s.
1:00:00
Their economy has grown at half the rate
1:00:02
of ours.
1:00:04
Yes.
1:00:04
They're in really big trouble.
1:00:06
The EU is just screwed.
1:00:08
And this is not going to help.
1:00:11
By the way, I got a note from
1:00:13
Rich.
1:00:14
He lives in the EU and he says,
1:00:16
you know, your show saved me back in
1:00:18
2015 during the big the first big European
1:00:21
migration crisis.
1:00:22
At the time, the media was showing awful
1:00:24
images of dead kids being washed up on
1:00:26
beaches.
1:00:27
Remember this?
1:00:28
Oh, yeah.
1:00:29
Hey, can you move that dead kid over
1:00:31
a little bit to the left so I
1:00:32
can get a better shot?
1:00:33
Exactly.
1:00:34
He says, you know, you guys really saved
1:00:36
me.
1:00:37
But on the last show, I've been feeling
1:00:39
very depressed.
1:00:40
You were talking about Europe going to hell.
1:00:42
And John was just casually talking about the
1:00:45
hundred years war being the norm.
1:00:49
Looming war is a mainstream media talking point.
1:00:52
I was hoping for something a bit more
1:00:53
reassuring from no agenda.
1:00:55
I'm sorry.
1:00:58
Well, I don't I don't think there'll be
1:00:59
a hundred years war, but.
1:01:01
Oh, but is that no, but it is
1:01:03
kind of the the or the Europeans have
1:01:06
been having these fights.
1:01:08
They can't seem to stop and they just
1:01:11
keep wanting to go over the abyss.
1:01:13
I mean, there's just nothing we can do
1:01:14
about it.
1:01:15
I think we've got to cut them loose.
1:01:16
I'm sorry to our rich, rich, to rich,
1:01:21
to rich.
1:01:21
You'll be OK.
1:01:23
Not you may just be aware.
1:01:25
OK, well, you'll be OK.
1:01:28
Just look at the ground.
1:01:29
It will all go away.
1:01:31
Don't look at anybody in the eye.
1:01:33
It will all go away.
1:01:36
Let's go to the now.
1:01:37
Well, before we go to the analysis, let's
1:01:39
play a little NPR, not an NPR, yeah,
1:01:42
an NPR clip.
1:01:42
This is the I thought it might fit
1:01:45
in there.
1:01:45
This is the Russian the Russian normalized NATO
1:01:48
clip.
1:01:49
As President Trump thaws U.S. diplomatic relations
1:01:52
with Russia, he is trading blows with Ukraine.
1:01:55
Nearly three years after his country was invaded
1:01:57
by Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Trump
1:02:01
for falsely blaming the hostilities on Ukraine.
1:02:05
Covering the Kremlin, NPR's Charles Maines reports the
1:02:07
Russian government says Moscow and Washington are on
1:02:10
their way toward normalizing relations.
1:02:12
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov briefing Russian lawmakers
1:02:16
on the talks praised President Trump as the
1:02:19
first Western leader to publicly acknowledge the prospect
1:02:21
of NATO expansion into Ukraine as a major
1:02:24
cause of the war.
1:02:25
Lavrov said there was now a shared desire
1:02:27
not only to end that conflict, but possibly
1:02:30
work with the U.S. to develop new
1:02:31
trade and geopolitical partnerships.
1:02:34
To do that, Lavrov said both sides first
1:02:36
had to, quote, clean up Biden administration efforts
1:02:39
to undermine relations.
1:02:40
The Biden White House sought to isolate Russia
1:02:43
over its invasion of its neighbor.
1:02:45
In contrast, President Trump has said he wants
1:02:47
to work with Russia to end the war
1:02:48
unnerving Ukraine and traditional U.S. allies in
1:02:51
Europe.
1:02:52
Okay.
1:02:53
All right.
1:02:55
So that's a little different than the Biden
1:02:58
approach.
1:02:58
Yes, yes.
1:02:59
I have some analysis too.
1:03:01
So let's get your anal clips.
1:03:02
Okay.
1:03:03
These are the analysis clips.
1:03:05
How does President Trump...
1:03:06
I'm sorry.
1:03:07
As you keep referring to them as anal...
1:03:09
Because they are literally titled anal in all
1:03:12
caps, because analysis is too tedious for you
1:03:16
to write.
1:03:17
Oh, it's so many letters.
1:03:19
How does President Trump's foreign policy on China
1:03:21
relate to the current peace negotiations with Russia?
1:03:24
And how does the policy of the second
1:03:26
Trump administration compare to that of the first?
1:03:29
Joining us now to dive into these issues
1:03:31
is Grant Newsham, senior fellow at the Japan
1:03:34
Forum for Strategic Studies and retired Marine Colonel.
1:03:37
Grant, thank you so much for joining us.
1:03:39
Good to see you again.
1:03:39
Lots of headlines and raised eyebrows about President
1:03:42
Trump's way of negotiating to end the Russia
1:03:45
-Ukraine war.
1:03:47
Given Trump's business background, is his foreign policy
1:03:50
transactional or is there a diplomatic element here?
1:03:54
Well, I think every foreign policy is transactional.
1:03:57
The Americans do something because they want the
1:04:00
other side to do something for them.
1:04:02
Wow.
1:04:03
This is deep.
1:04:04
It's called a negotiation.
1:04:06
Oh, very interesting.
1:04:06
It doesn't matter which president it is.
1:04:10
Diplomacy comes in different forms.
1:04:14
Sometimes it's very placid, takes place behind closed
1:04:17
doors.
1:04:18
Other times it can be more out in
1:04:20
the open.
1:04:20
And that's what we're seeing right now with
1:04:23
Mr. Trump.
1:04:24
So as I said, it's always transactional.
1:04:26
We want something.
1:04:27
In this case, the administration wants the war
1:04:30
to end so it can focus on the
1:04:33
Pacific, focus on China.
1:04:35
In terms of how it's conducted, well, every
1:04:37
administration, every president has their style.
1:04:40
And I think we're seeing Mr. Trump's style
1:04:42
on display.
1:04:43
And what do you make of the backlash
1:04:45
President Trump is facing for calling Zelensky a
1:04:48
dictator without elections as negotiations for the end
1:04:51
of the war continue?
1:04:52
It's not unusual for two sides, even allies
1:04:56
or partners, to have some pretty sort of
1:04:59
raucous disputes.
1:05:01
It is a little unusual to have them
1:05:02
take place in public.
1:05:04
Usually these things are hashed out behind closed
1:05:07
doors.
1:05:08
So we are seeing something that we usually
1:05:10
don't see.
1:05:12
But it is, as I say, it's not
1:05:14
the usual way that such talks take place.
1:05:18
But maybe we shouldn't be too surprised.
1:05:21
Not the usual way.
1:05:22
This is Doge body cam, baby.
1:05:26
Is there any difference?
1:05:29
No, I don't think so.
1:05:31
This guy's one of those precise talkers.
1:05:34
Yes, I had noticed that.
1:05:36
And the little, when he says little.
1:05:39
Little, yes.
1:05:40
All right.
1:05:40
Yeah, this is not the best analysis clips
1:05:43
I've had.
1:05:44
No.
1:05:45
But there's a couple of just minor points
1:05:47
that it's worth at least people should listen
1:05:49
to.
1:05:50
And zooming out a bit here, what would
1:05:52
the end of the Russia-Ukraine war mean
1:05:54
for a country like China?
1:05:56
Well, China is watching very closely.
1:05:58
And if they think that Putin has come
1:06:03
out of the Ukraine war ahead.
1:06:05
Then we can do the same.
1:06:06
That it's been worthwhile for him to have
1:06:08
done it.
1:06:10
That they, I think, will be encouraged to
1:06:13
make a move in their territory against Taiwan,
1:06:18
Philippines, elsewhere.
1:06:20
But they are watching very closely.
1:06:22
So that is something that you do have
1:06:23
to watch.
1:06:24
Can Putin argue at the end of this,
1:06:26
look, I got what I wanted.
1:06:29
The cost was, yeah, it was high, maybe.
1:06:32
But it was worth it.
1:06:33
And you just might have Xi Jinping say,
1:06:36
well, if Putin could do it, and he
1:06:38
only had half a million casualties, well, I
1:06:40
can handle that.
1:06:41
And Taiwan is just so juicy.
1:06:44
That he might be tempted to make a
1:06:46
move.
1:06:46
So you do have to watch this very
1:06:48
closely.
1:06:48
And it would be nice if this ended
1:06:52
with Mr. Putin, sort of being sort of
1:06:54
as humiliated as we were when we ran
1:06:57
out of Afghanistan.
1:06:58
But I'm not so sure how you would
1:07:00
actually pull that off.
1:07:01
But this is certainly important.
1:07:04
And whatever happens in Ukraine, there's going to
1:07:06
be a direct result one way or the
1:07:09
other in the Pacific, in Asia.
1:07:12
Wow.
1:07:12
This guy is running through the talking points.
1:07:18
Yeah, yeah.
1:07:20
I'm not going to argue with you.
1:07:22
Let's let him wrap.
1:07:24
Now, when it comes to President Trump's China
1:07:26
strategy for this term, how do you view
1:07:28
it compared to his first?
1:07:30
Is this a continuation, an expansion or something
1:07:33
entirely different?
1:07:34
It will be different, but I think it
1:07:36
will generally be the same or similar.
1:07:38
I put it that way.
1:07:39
Genuinely.
1:07:40
His first administration, they've had the best lineup
1:07:43
for dealing with China that any administration has
1:07:46
ever had, with fellows like Matt Pottinger, Miles
1:07:49
Yu, Mike Pompeo, Dave Stilwell.
1:07:51
That was a rare alignment.
1:07:53
This time around, it remains to be seen.
1:07:56
It's only been 30 days or so that
1:07:57
the administration's been in place.
1:07:59
So we don't quite know exactly who's going
1:08:02
to be in it and also what the
1:08:04
policy is going to be.
1:08:06
I think it is going to be a
1:08:08
confrontational towards China.
1:08:10
And in that sense, it will be a
1:08:11
continuation of the first Trump administration.
1:08:14
This guy is just vying for a job
1:08:16
for when something goes down with China.
1:08:18
He can come back on NTD and talk
1:08:20
some more.
1:08:21
Oh, yeah, it's going to be China.
1:08:22
I told you so.
1:08:23
I think Mr. Trump probably knows he got
1:08:25
burned several times by the Chinese.
1:08:27
I don't think he'll plan to have that
1:08:30
happen again.
1:08:31
And I would note that Marco Rubio, the
1:08:33
Secretary of State, Mike Waltz, his national security
1:08:37
advisor, and even Pete Hicks at the Department
1:08:40
of Defense, these people are very good on
1:08:42
China.
1:08:43
They know the threat that comes from the
1:08:45
CCP and want to do something about it.
1:08:47
And then you have other people who will
1:08:50
fill out the administration's team and they will
1:08:52
have different views.
1:08:53
Some of them thinking that there is actually
1:08:56
an accommodation to be made with the Chinese
1:08:58
Communist Party and that we can reach a
1:09:00
certain detente.
1:09:02
I don't think that's possible, but there are
1:09:04
some people who think that.
1:09:05
And then there's others who just want an
1:09:08
all out effort to bring down the Chinese
1:09:11
Communist Party.
1:09:12
And then there's others who are just surprisingly
1:09:14
appeasers.
1:09:15
So you get a mix, but it remains
1:09:17
to be seen exactly how this turns out
1:09:19
finally.
1:09:20
But I think Mr. Trump learned some lessons
1:09:22
in his first time around, and he's not
1:09:26
likely to make those mistakes again.
1:09:28
So one can be cautiously optimistic.
1:09:31
Yeah, this is whatever happened to Russia.
1:09:35
It's our worst enemies.
1:09:36
This is our true adversary.
1:09:38
Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,
1:09:40
China, China, China.
1:09:43
You're a little early on the pivot, bro.
1:09:46
I have some, I think, good analysis.
1:09:50
I've played this.
1:09:51
Yes, stand by.
1:09:52
This comes from Canada.
1:09:54
I mean, even more.
1:09:55
Oh, this guy is good.
1:09:57
I've played him before.
1:09:57
He's a retired national defense dude for Candanavia,
1:10:03
Andrew Rasulis, Rasulis, Rasulis, I think is how
1:10:07
you pronounce it.
1:10:08
And he gives a much more accurate picture.
1:10:11
First of all, this whole, this whole, the
1:10:17
whole background to it has to be put
1:10:20
into proper context of how we even got
1:10:22
here.
1:10:23
And I think he does a good job.
1:10:24
Let me make a start by asking you
1:10:25
of how things are playing out, especially between
1:10:28
the United States, Donald Trump and Ukraine's Zelensky.
1:10:32
You know, it's sort of a war of
1:10:34
words that's broken out between them.
1:10:37
The latest war of words is about the
1:10:40
fact that what Trump is suggesting is that
1:10:42
if the Ukrainians had implemented the Minsk two
1:10:47
agreements, which were signed in 2015, and had
1:10:51
they implemented them, the suggestion is the Russians
1:10:53
would have had no reason to attack since
1:10:55
they would have gotten a neutral Ukrainian buffer
1:10:57
zone from that deal.
1:10:59
So he's blaming Ukrainians for not implementing that
1:11:02
deal on the popularity ratings.
1:11:05
I mean, that's a bit of an issue
1:11:06
because he says there are 4% and
1:11:07
most figures say a 50%.
1:11:09
So that's just an off the wall thing.
1:11:12
Exactly.
1:11:12
So yes, that's exactly right.
1:11:14
Ukraine did not adhere to the agreement, the
1:11:18
Minsk two accord.
1:11:19
And they were invited to Saudi Arabia, by
1:11:23
the way.
1:11:23
Let's talk about Ukraine actually being left out
1:11:26
from the first round of talks itself between
1:11:28
United States and Russia.
1:11:29
And of course, we've seen how there was
1:11:30
an emergency meeting held in Europe in regards
1:11:33
with that.
1:11:34
And then Zelensky also meeting with Turkey.
1:11:36
Your take on how this is playing out
1:11:38
in terms of ending the war?
1:11:40
Well, the Americans really want to push this,
1:11:42
which is why they're trying to keep it
1:11:44
really to the combatants or the protagonists, Russia,
1:11:48
Ukraine, and the United States as a broker.
1:11:51
And that's a key difference from Biden and
1:11:54
where they were doing having Ukrainians push it.
1:11:56
And then, as Trump says, will take three
1:11:58
years and got nowhere.
1:11:59
So that's a major change in how they're
1:12:02
going to make the deal.
1:12:03
And the Americans want to drive this home.
1:12:05
The Americans are also looking at their bilateral
1:12:08
relationship with Russia and not related necessarily just
1:12:12
to Ukraine.
1:12:13
Now, with the Ukrainians, Trump is saying, you
1:12:15
know, they're going to bring them in and
1:12:16
they offer them, you know, depending what you
1:12:19
read, Ukrainians were offered to be at the
1:12:21
table in Saudi Arabia, but they refused to
1:12:24
do that.
1:12:24
So take your story on that one.
1:12:27
But yes, behind the scenes, there's a lot
1:12:29
going on.
1:12:29
In fact, today in public, Kellogg, Trump's envoy,
1:12:33
is arriving in Kiev to talk to Zelensky.
1:12:36
So that shows a continual dialogue that is
1:12:39
actually taking place.
1:12:40
Exactly.
1:12:42
And then finally, what is what is this?
1:12:49
This is yes.
1:12:51
What's realistically on the table?
1:12:53
What will actually go down?
1:12:54
I think this guy has it right.
1:12:55
Let's talk about the concessions here.
1:12:57
What's your understanding?
1:12:58
The manner in which it's playing out, the
1:13:00
fact that we're seeing how Ukraine will not
1:13:02
be a part of NATO, as we have
1:13:03
heard, is a victory of sorts for Vladimir
1:13:07
Putin.
1:13:08
And then we have the regions of Luhansk
1:13:09
and Donetsk.
1:13:10
We've had people from Trump administration saying that
1:13:13
Ukraine should forget about returning to its original
1:13:15
borders.
1:13:16
Do you see a victory after victory coming
1:13:18
in for Putin in that regard?
1:13:19
Well, I mean, Putin is going to get
1:13:21
something from this.
1:13:22
And we and Rubio says all options are
1:13:25
on the table now.
1:13:25
These are early days of a negotiating process.
1:13:28
And I caution that.
1:13:29
So I personally don't take anything off the
1:13:32
table as of now.
1:13:33
But given the let's say the trend line,
1:13:35
if you will.
1:13:37
Yes, the territorial side of the equation, in
1:13:40
all probability, Russia will walk away with most,
1:13:43
if not all of what it holds.
1:13:44
And for Russia, Crimea and the land bridge
1:13:47
to Crimea from Russia proper is absolutely key.
1:13:51
And that will be, I believe, a victory
1:13:53
for Putin in that sense.
1:13:55
Now, the other side of the equation, which
1:13:57
is the guarantees, the NATO membership, really, that's
1:14:01
we all know the official positions, the rhetoric,
1:14:03
no NATO for Ukraine in terms of the
1:14:05
Russians and so on.
1:14:06
But I think we have to wait to
1:14:08
see how things work out.
1:14:10
There is a spectrum of security guarantees that
1:14:13
could be negotiated for Ukraine.
1:14:15
And at this point, it's premature to really
1:14:18
speculate on what those guarantees will be, even
1:14:21
I would suggest on NATO membership.
1:14:23
Yeah, I, I get the feeling that Trump's
1:14:28
ultimate plan is dissolve NATO.
1:14:33
And we will just offer security guarantees in
1:14:37
return for things like no tariffs on our
1:14:41
products or build, build in America, we'll protect
1:14:47
you.
1:14:50
You can trust us, don't worry.
1:14:53
There's also talk of the Mar-a-Lago
1:14:55
Accords, which now, which I think is, I
1:14:58
don't know if I was the first one
1:14:59
to say it, but I hear it everywhere
1:15:02
now, the Mar-a-Lago Accord, this is
1:15:04
crazy, that in order to rejigger the financial
1:15:09
system, America will offer security guarantees to countries
1:15:14
who swap their current treasury bonds for long
1:15:21
term, like 100 year, no coupon, so zero
1:15:25
interest loans, which would be very interesting if
1:15:31
that happened.
1:15:32
Have you, have you heard about this?
1:15:34
No, those are two separate issues.
1:15:36
I want to get back to the security
1:15:38
thing.
1:15:38
Well, no, it's connected.
1:15:40
It's connected.
1:15:41
That's why.
1:15:42
Well, I suppose if you could, you could
1:15:43
probably make it seem connected, but we're not
1:15:46
doing that.
1:15:47
We're not going to put, do security for
1:15:50
Ukraine.
1:15:50
They're going to, I think it's going to
1:15:52
be the following.
1:15:52
Okay.
1:15:53
I think there may be some pullback on
1:15:56
NATO.
1:15:57
There's going to be a determination that Europe
1:16:01
should be protecting Ukraine.
1:16:04
There'll be no NATO in Ukraine, but there'll
1:16:06
be a security force provided by the Europeans
1:16:08
who want to create an army anyway.
1:16:10
And this could be their, their kind of
1:16:12
prototype.
1:16:13
And they could put their little soldiers in
1:16:15
there to keep things in order.
1:16:18
Their green army men?
1:16:19
Their little green army men, gray.
1:16:22
And we'll be divorced of the whole thing.
1:16:25
This is costing us too much money.
1:16:26
In fact, the entire NATO experiment, if you
1:16:29
look at the chart of how much money
1:16:31
is being spent, we have essentially since World
1:16:34
War II, this is not a protection treaty.
1:16:37
This is a bribe.
1:16:39
We have been, we have bought off the
1:16:42
Europeans the way I see it.
1:16:44
Bought off, we've just provided tens of hundreds
1:16:48
of billions of dollars to Europe not to
1:16:50
fight anymore.
1:16:52
And we keep throwing money, don't fight anymore.
1:16:54
Don't worry, we'll support this, we'll support that.
1:16:57
And we, and we're getting sick of it.
1:16:59
I mean, it's just draining our economy.
1:17:02
We have other things to deal with.
1:17:04
And so the whole, all of South America's
1:17:05
kind of lost to the Chinese as is
1:17:07
Africa, because we're concentrating too much on bribing
1:17:11
the Europeans not to fight.
1:17:14
And that's all our money's been for.
1:17:16
It's all that money in the Ukraine's the
1:17:17
same thing.
1:17:18
It's all just drain the United States Treasury
1:17:22
to keep, to bribe the Europeans not to
1:17:24
fight with each other.
1:17:26
I think it's got to end.
1:17:27
They're going to either have to fight with,
1:17:29
if they're going to want to, if there's
1:17:30
nothing, the only reason they're not fighting is
1:17:32
because we're giving them free money.
1:17:35
It's ridiculous.
1:17:36
Let them fight.
1:17:38
Each other?
1:17:39
They're going to have to, because they just
1:17:41
try to keep us out of it.
1:17:43
I mean, they keep dragging us.
1:17:44
They dragged us into World War I because
1:17:46
of the bankers.
1:17:47
They tricked us into getting involved with that.
1:17:50
Then they dragged us into World War II.
1:17:53
Oh, of course, we kind of, thanks to
1:17:55
Roosevelt, we kind of put ourselves in that
1:17:57
one.
1:17:58
And they're still hating each other.
1:18:01
And then they're blaming, and the Russians who
1:18:03
stopped that war, really, who are allies, they
1:18:06
were part of the allies, even though they
1:18:08
were communists trying to take over everything.
1:18:12
This bribery, this is just extortion.
1:18:17
Do you remember when we said, where are
1:18:20
all the German podcasts?
1:18:24
Yes, you've said that a number of times.
1:18:25
Well, I got a reply from our man,
1:18:28
Frank, on the ground, and it's worse than
1:18:32
I thought.
1:18:33
And it's related to this.
1:18:35
The biggest German podcast is called Kontrafunk.
1:18:41
Kontrafunk.
1:18:43
Kontrafunk.
1:18:44
Kontrafunk.
1:18:45
They are a 24-7 streaming station with
1:18:51
podcasts, consisting mainly of former public radio journalists
1:18:56
who were fed up or got fired for
1:18:59
not playing ball, and they've gone to Switzerland.
1:19:03
All these podcasts, like Nacht des Niveaux, Paul
1:19:09
Brandenburg runs that also in Switzerland, they all
1:19:11
had to go to Switzerland.
1:19:13
And after seeing the 60 Minutes piece on
1:19:17
German censorship...
1:19:20
I have clips.
1:19:21
I have clips too.
1:19:22
I'm happy to play your clips.
1:19:24
Well, these are clips that they were done
1:19:26
so well by Jesse Waters, even though he
1:19:29
did have to do the normal cutting back
1:19:30
on his such type.
1:19:31
Can we just play the...
1:19:33
Okay.
1:19:34
I think they're incorporated very well in this
1:19:37
series.
1:19:37
All right, all right.
1:19:38
Then you can do an addendum if you
1:19:44
think the clips are weak.
1:19:46
Why just Jesse Waters?
1:19:47
It just irks him.
1:19:49
Well, I'm sorry, this will be the last
1:19:50
time.
1:19:51
I'm now banning him.
1:19:52
Instead of defending the taxpayers, the media is
1:19:55
defending the government.
1:19:56
Here's 60 Minutes.
1:19:58
People are really scared.
1:19:59
I think that, you know, 12 days ago,
1:20:02
people knew where their next paycheck was coming
1:20:04
from.
1:20:04
They knew how they were...
1:20:05
I'm sorry, that's wrong one.
1:20:07
You have more than...
1:20:07
That's the right one.
1:20:09
It leads into the German stuff.
1:20:11
It's a four-parter.
1:20:12
Okay.
1:20:13
60 Minutes?
1:20:14
You don't have to do a teenage sigh.
1:20:18
I'll just have an apple in my room.
1:20:20
People are really scared.
1:20:21
I think that, you know, 12 days ago,
1:20:23
people knew where their next paycheck was coming
1:20:25
from.
1:20:26
They knew how they were...
1:20:27
Wait a minute.
1:20:27
Back off.
1:20:27
Stop.
1:20:27
What?
1:20:28
Is that some reference?
1:20:30
An apple in my room?
1:20:32
Okay.
1:20:33
This is Aunt Gigi.
1:20:34
I've told you about Aunt Gigi.
1:20:36
Aunt Gigi, who was my mom's aunt, she
1:20:39
would, whenever she was upset about something, she
1:20:42
would do the Gigi sigh.
1:20:44
It's a big thing in our family.
1:20:45
Yeah, you do it.
1:20:46
And here it is.
1:20:48
Okay.
1:20:49
I'll just have an apple in my room
1:20:51
then.
1:20:52
That's what Aunt Gigi would say when she
1:20:56
was on the losing side of an argument.
1:21:00
Wow.
1:21:01
They're going to pay for their kids' daycare,
1:21:03
their medical bills, and then all gone overnight.
1:21:08
All gone overnight for Christina Drei and Adam
1:21:12
DuBard, fired this month in the chaotic shutdown
1:21:16
of foreign aid.
1:21:17
They're not looking for competency.
1:21:19
They're not looking for if you're good at
1:21:20
your job.
1:21:20
They're looking for pure loyalty tests.
1:21:22
And if you don't give it, you will
1:21:24
be punished.
1:21:25
There was no process.
1:21:27
No one explained to them why they were
1:21:29
being relieved.
1:21:29
To my knowledge, they received an email.
1:21:32
And then if they didn't leave the building,
1:21:33
they were escorted out of the building.
1:21:35
These people got generous buyouts, eight-month severance.
1:21:40
I'm sorry, but did CVS interview the fired
1:21:42
Keystone Pipeline workers, the fired Army officers who
1:21:46
refused the needle, or black Americans who lost
1:21:48
their job to migrants?
1:21:49
No.
1:21:50
That one lady was Samantha Powers' speechwriter.
1:21:54
She's no random civil servant.
1:21:56
She's the top flack for the USAID chief.
1:22:00
Funny.
1:22:00
I had that clip, too.
1:22:01
Only I had the original, and I could
1:22:02
have been Jesse Waters.
1:22:03
But no, why don't you just have no
1:22:06
agenda with John C.
1:22:07
Dvorak and Jesse Waters.
1:22:08
It's J&J, everybody.
1:22:12
If I could make half his salary, I'd
1:22:14
do it.
1:22:18
Okay.
1:22:20
This woman did show up before, and I
1:22:22
was trying to get the clip for the
1:22:24
last show, and he found it.
1:22:26
It's so poorly done that I ran it
1:22:29
through Adobe, and you can kind of understand
1:22:31
it.
1:22:31
But this woman, since then, it turns out
1:22:34
she works for some PR agency.
1:22:36
She's a phony.
1:22:37
But she was also spotted earlier.
1:22:39
Walt Waters brings this out in the next
1:22:42
clip.
1:22:42
Just last week, this same lady told ABC
1:22:45
she was pocketing her pride flags.
1:22:48
The networks are using the same victim over
1:22:50
and over.
1:22:51
Bush was in the building.
1:22:53
We took down our pride flags.
1:22:55
I took out any books I felt would
1:22:57
be incriminating.
1:22:59
No one was talking.
1:23:00
We heard they started taking transcripts automatically of
1:23:02
all of our Google Meets.
1:23:04
They unplugged the news in the little kitchen
1:23:07
galleys.
1:23:08
It didn't feel good.
1:23:09
And then Saturday, all of the websites went
1:23:11
down, and then I lost complete access to
1:23:14
my computer.
1:23:15
60 Minutes is CBS's premier investigative unit, and
1:23:19
they never mentioned the $20 million for Iraqi
1:23:21
Sesame Street, or sex changes in Guatemala, or
1:23:24
DEI operas, or all the dough spent on
1:23:27
failed coups.
1:23:28
Never mentioned it.
1:23:29
We're $36 trillion in debt.
1:23:32
We're cutting headcount, just like media organizations do
1:23:35
to balance their books, just like Clinton and
1:23:37
Gore did.
1:23:38
Yeah.
1:23:41
He did it again.
1:23:42
Yes.
1:23:44
On the clip.
1:23:46
I'm more interested in your analysis, not Jesse
1:23:48
Water's sniping.
1:23:50
I didn't get there.
1:23:51
I don't need to sound like him.
1:23:54
Well, you spent a lot of time editing
1:23:56
him out, so I will give you that.
1:23:58
Last week, Vance was in Germany and told
1:24:01
the chancellor to knock off the censorship and
1:24:03
step up their NATO spending.
1:24:06
And the American media sided with the Germans
1:24:09
and called Vance Hitler.
1:24:11
He was standing in a country where free
1:24:13
speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide.
1:24:17
And he met with the head of a
1:24:18
political party that has far right views and
1:24:23
some historic ties to extreme groups.
1:24:28
The context of that was changing the tone
1:24:31
of it.
1:24:32
And you know that, that the censorship was
1:24:34
specifically about the right.
1:24:36
I have to disagree with you.
1:24:37
Free speech was not used to conduct a
1:24:39
genocide.
1:24:40
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi
1:24:42
regime that happened to also be genocidal because
1:24:45
they hated Jews and they hated minorities and
1:24:47
they hated those that they had a list
1:24:48
of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
1:24:50
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
1:24:52
There was none.
1:24:53
It was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.
1:24:56
It was against the law to tell a
1:24:58
joke about Hitler and he had a dumb
1:24:59
mustache and one testicle.
1:25:02
Couldn't joke about it.
1:25:04
Newspapers were shut down.
1:25:05
Books were burned.
1:25:06
Radio stations were censored.
1:25:07
Free speech didn't trigger the Holocaust.
1:25:10
Okay, that was funny.
1:25:12
Yeah, I knew that.
1:25:13
I forgot about Hitler's one ball.
1:25:15
I forgot one ball Hitler.
1:25:17
I have the book.
1:25:19
I was Hitler's doctor, which discusses the one
1:25:24
ball.
1:25:25
That has to be a noagendafund.com, another
1:25:27
no agenda book recommendation.
1:25:29
I don't know if you can find it.
1:25:30
It's a very collectible book.
1:25:32
And here's the final clip where they go
1:25:36
collectible.
1:25:37
That's me.
1:25:38
You know, I'm the collector.
1:25:38
You're a collector.
1:25:39
I know.
1:25:40
And so this is where he wraps it
1:25:42
up and brings in the clip that you
1:25:44
wanted to hear.
1:25:45
On the same day, CBS celebrated an armed
1:25:48
raid in Germany because a guy posted a
1:25:51
cartoon.
1:25:53
It's 601 on a Tuesday morning and we
1:25:56
were with state police as they raided this
1:25:58
apartment in Northwest Germany.
1:26:03
Inside, six armed officers searched the suspect's home,
1:26:07
then seized his and cell phone.
1:26:11
Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used
1:26:14
to commit a crime.
1:26:15
The crime, posting a racist cartoon online.
1:26:19
And it's a crime to insult them online
1:26:21
as well?
1:26:22
Yes.
1:26:22
If somebody posts something that's not true and
1:26:26
then somebody else reposts it or likes it,
1:26:29
are they committing a crime?
1:26:31
In the case of reposting, it is a
1:26:33
crime as well because the reader can't distinguish
1:26:36
whether you just invented this or just reposted
1:26:39
it.
1:26:40
Germany is letting migrants into the country who
1:26:42
are committing gang rape and they have cops
1:26:44
kicking down doors over a cartoon.
1:26:46
CBS is defending Germany.
1:26:50
Yeah, I don't have to play the other
1:26:52
clips.
1:26:52
People can listen to them in the show
1:26:53
notes.
1:26:54
But yes, I had no idea, no idea
1:26:57
that Germany was that crazy about it.
1:27:00
I thought it was only the UK, but
1:27:02
the Germans are equally, if not just worse
1:27:06
with, oh, if you offend somebody, certainly if
1:27:09
it's a politician, you can get a 3
1:27:11
,000-euro fine.
1:27:12
They knock on your door at six in
1:27:14
the morning.
1:27:15
What?
1:27:16
I was unaware of this.
1:27:18
I was too.
1:27:19
And I got a DM from one of
1:27:23
our German producers who was...
1:27:26
Did he send you a copy of the
1:27:27
cartoon?
1:27:27
Because I can't find it.
1:27:29
A DM?
1:27:30
What does that have to do with a
1:27:31
cartoon?
1:27:32
Well, I mean, I got the phone ringing
1:27:35
now.
1:27:35
Yeah, yeah.
1:27:36
Well, I'll read...
1:27:40
Yeah, I'm right here with the phone so
1:27:41
I can do it.
1:27:41
Hello?
1:27:43
Put it up to the mic.
1:27:44
It was here.
1:27:46
Ah, hold on a second.
1:27:47
Let me open it up.
1:27:48
Here we go.
1:27:49
I'm sorry, what?
1:27:52
Hello?
1:27:53
My name is Joe.
1:27:54
Joe?
1:27:55
Joe.
1:27:56
Yeah, okay.
1:27:59
He's working with...
1:28:00
Yeah, go on.
1:28:01
Put it closer.
1:28:04
What?
1:28:06
Yeah, what's your purpose of calling?
1:28:08
Hold on.
1:28:14
Oh.
1:28:15
Oh, I owe your social security benefits.
1:28:18
Okay, send it away.
1:28:19
Thanks.
1:28:19
I appreciate it.
1:28:21
You really need a phone patch, man.
1:28:24
I do.
1:28:25
That was a good one.
1:28:26
It would have been great.
1:28:27
It would have been great for the show.
1:28:28
He's going to give me some free money.
1:28:30
Ah, I can't believe it.
1:28:32
Adam, you have no idea.
1:28:34
There's an election campaign in Germany sponsored by
1:28:36
the Initiative der Deutsche Privatradios, Podcasts und Streams,
1:28:42
which are all government-approved, tax-funded podcasts.
1:28:47
So there's podcasts, but they're all government-approved
1:28:49
podcasts.
1:28:50
That's not why we invented podcasting, people.
1:28:55
Wow, that's bad.
1:28:58
I had...
1:28:59
This is actually kind of mind-blowing.
1:29:03
I was actually surprised by it.
1:29:05
If it wasn't for the...
1:29:06
Not 60 Minutes, but that other report where
1:29:09
they busted into the guy's house and CBS
1:29:11
played it straight.
1:29:12
So you think that's a crime?
1:29:13
Yeah, it's a crime.
1:29:14
Oh, yeah.
1:29:15
Oh, that's a crime.
1:29:16
And nobody pushed back and said, this is
1:29:18
crazy.
1:29:19
And that one...
1:29:22
The one prosecutor, she was kind of cute,
1:29:24
young.
1:29:27
No, CBS did not push back, did not
1:29:30
say, this is crazy.
1:29:31
And as a small point of contention, it's
1:29:34
not free speech.
1:29:35
People have to stop saying that.
1:29:37
It's freedom of speech.
1:29:40
Have you noticed this?
1:29:41
That it's coming into...
1:29:42
Well, it's free speech.
1:29:43
Well, speech is free, but it's freedom of
1:29:47
speech.
1:29:49
I don't know why it irks me, but
1:29:51
it does.
1:29:52
It does.
1:29:52
I don't know why it irks you.
1:29:53
Wait, wait.
1:29:55
No, no, you have to...
1:29:57
You have to do a clicking sound.
1:30:03
I can't do a clicking.
1:30:06
Like that?
1:30:07
Yeah.
1:30:08
And then followed by, I'll just have an
1:30:10
apple in my room.
1:30:11
I'll just have a...
1:30:12
That's the silliest thing ever.
1:30:15
It depends on Gigi.
1:30:16
She was the best.
1:30:18
Well, another prediction comes true.
1:30:20
The pivot is here.
1:30:21
I've been waiting for it.
1:30:22
And once again, I am right.
1:30:24
The pivot from AI to quantum computing.
1:30:27
Microsoft says it has created a new chip
1:30:30
that shows quantum computing is much closer than
1:30:33
recently believed.
1:30:34
Quantum computers hold the promise of carrying out
1:30:37
calculations that would take today's systems millions of
1:30:40
years.
1:30:40
But the fundamental building block of quantum computers,
1:30:43
called a qubit, is extremely difficult to control
1:30:46
and prone to errors.
1:30:48
Get control it!
1:30:49
Maya Rana-1 chip is less prone to
1:30:51
those errors than rivals, providing as proof a
1:30:54
scientific paper set to be published in academic
1:30:57
journal Nature.
1:30:58
The chip has been in the works for
1:30:59
nearly two decades and has a new type
1:31:02
of material.
1:31:03
This is Microsoft's Chetan Nayak in a video
1:31:05
provided by the company.
1:31:07
It's called a topological superconductor or topoconductor for
1:31:10
short.
1:31:10
Topoconductor!
1:31:11
And this is something that people have hypothesized
1:31:13
for decades.
1:31:14
But no one had really reliably created this
1:31:17
in the laboratory or been able to harness
1:31:20
it for quantum information processing.
1:31:22
Google last year showed off its own new
1:31:24
quantum chip, saying that commercial applications are only
1:31:27
five years away.
1:31:28
IBM said large scale quantum computers will be
1:31:31
online by 2033.
1:31:33
Microsoft did not give a timeline for when
1:31:35
its chip would be scaled up to quantum
1:31:37
computers that can outpace today's machines.
1:31:40
But in a blog post, the company said
1:31:42
it would be, quote, years, not decades.
1:31:45
And we go to our resident computer expert,
1:31:47
John C.
1:31:48
Dvorak, to tell us about the future of
1:31:50
quantum computing.
1:31:52
John.
1:31:52
They can't get it to work.
1:31:55
Why is Microsoft saying that it's only a
1:31:58
few years away?
1:31:59
They've picked up the strategy from, you know,
1:32:02
you're not in the news cycle anymore.
1:32:04
You pick up the strategy from IBM.
1:32:06
You make some sort of statement because everyone's
1:32:08
jacked about, oh, quantum computing, quantum computing.
1:32:12
I had almost had a clip.
1:32:13
What was this?
1:32:14
I can't remember what the source was, but
1:32:16
it was something.
1:32:17
It was either on Fox or one of
1:32:19
these networks.
1:32:19
And someone said, well, oh, yeah, it was
1:32:21
Harrison Faulkner, that black woman on the outnumbered
1:32:26
show.
1:32:27
She said, well, the things will be different
1:32:28
when we get quantum computing.
1:32:30
She says out of the blue.
1:32:32
She brings she doesn't know quantum computing from
1:32:34
a hole in the wall.
1:32:35
Neither does anybody else.
1:32:37
Why would you bring it up?
1:32:38
Because it's the pivot, because we have a
1:32:41
problem.
1:32:42
A.I. What's the problem?
1:32:44
A.I. sucks.
1:32:46
It's not it's not delivering.
1:32:48
Well, for what it does, it does a
1:32:49
very, very fine job on both sides.
1:32:52
Yeah, but it's losing money.
1:32:55
This is the problem.
1:32:56
Well, there is that it's losing.
1:32:59
We're not talking about that.
1:33:01
You know, I want to I put it
1:33:02
in the show now, so I'm not going
1:33:03
to read it.
1:33:03
But one of our machine learning.
1:33:06
Yeah, that's you know, I'm all in machine
1:33:08
learning.
1:33:09
If you want to call that A.I.
1:33:10
OK, machine learning is a real thing.
1:33:13
It's been around for a long time.
1:33:14
It does.
1:33:15
And before it was A.I., it was
1:33:16
machine learning.
1:33:17
It was machine learning.
1:33:18
Yes, machine learning.
1:33:20
Oh, now it's called A.I. And it's
1:33:21
called A.G.I., which is a general
1:33:24
intelligence or generative intelligence.
1:33:26
We have a super intelligence.
1:33:28
They're always coming with something new.
1:33:29
Oh, we put the quantum computing and Bitcoin
1:33:32
will be broken.
1:33:36
This this producer said if, if, if, if
1:33:40
it ever gets to artificial general intelligence, he
1:33:45
said it will probably be like data on
1:33:48
Star Trek and completely autistic.
1:33:50
And I think that's probably true.
1:33:53
That will be the level of A.I.
1:33:56
that we're going to get.
1:33:57
And so this is just the new shiny
1:33:59
toy.
1:33:59
And I think Microsoft, they did something.
1:34:02
Yeah, you're right.
1:34:03
They saw a marketing opportunity.
1:34:07
And they jumped on it.
1:34:08
And it's also cool because, you know, you
1:34:10
get to say, well, you know, these things,
1:34:12
they have to be so.
1:34:14
And you get to say the word qubits.
1:34:16
Qubits, yes.
1:34:17
This is a good tip, by the way.
1:34:19
You've done this a little early for the
1:34:20
tip of the day.
1:34:21
If you want to look smart in the
1:34:22
bar around the ladies, just say, I'm working
1:34:25
on the qubits in quantum computing.
1:34:27
Yeah, they'll flock to you, these girls.
1:34:30
The girls love the Qubit.
1:34:32
Tell me more.
1:34:33
The Qubit talk is very successful.
1:34:36
I guarantee it.
1:34:37
Now, I and Microsoft has a pretty good.
1:34:39
How are they marketing wise, do you think?
1:34:41
Do you think they can pick this ball
1:34:42
and make it run?
1:34:44
And because, you know, they were, they're basically.
1:34:46
You'll never hear another word.
1:34:49
Really?
1:34:51
You think this is just a one and
1:34:52
done?
1:34:52
They're not going to pick it.
1:34:53
I mean, everyone on CNBC is all Microsoft.
1:34:56
How's it going to affect?
1:34:57
Nobody.
1:34:58
I love the Qubits.
1:35:00
And once come on, well, you know, quantum
1:35:02
computing is a marriage.
1:35:03
And what it can do is it gets
1:35:04
all as well as a subzero temperatures and
1:35:06
bizarre.
1:35:06
It's great.
1:35:07
The Qubits, and it doesn't do one.
1:35:08
So here's just one zero at the same
1:35:10
time.
1:35:10
Times four.
1:35:11
It's four times.
1:35:11
Bitcoin is going to break.
1:35:13
It always ends with that.
1:35:15
I saw Scott Adams post the other day.
1:35:20
Yeah.
1:35:21
Yeah.
1:35:22
Well, we have to, you're not doing it
1:35:27
right.
1:35:29
You have to get it.
1:35:30
It's more of a release, like, like, let
1:35:33
your whole body just go.
1:35:35
I'm trying to get working on it.
1:35:37
You're leaving out the last gasp, you know,
1:35:39
that's almost dead.
1:35:40
And then that's my, my version of it
1:35:42
is this.
1:35:43
It's not good.
1:35:44
It's not good enough.
1:35:46
And this is, and I need to say
1:35:48
something about this.
1:35:48
Well, let me, let me set it up
1:35:50
with a clip because we did have an
1:35:52
interesting aviation incident.
1:35:54
This video shows passengers evacuating from their plane
1:35:57
after a crash landed and flipped upside down
1:36:00
at Toronto's Pearson Airport.
1:36:02
As we made our touchdown, it was just
1:36:06
a very forceful event where all of a
1:36:11
sudden everything just kind of went sideways.
1:36:13
And then the next thing I know is
1:36:15
kind of a blink and I'm upside down,
1:36:17
still strapped in.
1:36:18
Everyone on that plane suddenly became very close
1:36:22
in terms of how to help one another,
1:36:24
how to console one another.
1:36:26
And, and that was powerful.
1:36:28
The aircraft came down fast, landing so hard
1:36:31
that it lost its right wing, then burst
1:36:34
into flames on the runway.
1:36:36
By some miracle, no one was killed, while
1:36:38
21 were injured.
1:36:40
It's really important to recognize how grateful we
1:36:43
are that there was no loss of life
1:36:46
or life-threatening injuries in yesterday's accident.
1:36:49
The airport CEO said that their two longest
1:36:52
runways remained closed as investigators examined the aircraft
1:36:56
on site to try to determine what caused
1:36:59
the accident.
1:37:00
It's possible wintry weather conditions may have played
1:37:03
a part.
1:37:04
After days of record snowfall, the airport was
1:37:06
experiencing blowing snow and gusts of 65 kilometers
1:37:10
an hour at the time of the crash.
1:37:12
Questions also remain as to why the plane
1:37:14
is missing its right wing.
1:37:16
So, I don't know.
1:37:19
I don't think the pilot's identity has been
1:37:23
released yet.
1:37:24
Yes, because Endeavor Airlines or Endeavor, the company
1:37:27
that runs that particular series of planes, supposedly
1:37:31
is all DEI women.
1:37:33
Okay, so that's exactly the point that I
1:37:35
want to push back against.
1:37:38
They have a marketing video and it's like,
1:37:40
we're unmanned, we're all women, and they got
1:37:43
the hottest chicks who I doubt are pilots.
1:37:46
Oh, yeah.
1:37:47
Have you seen the video?
1:37:48
I saw the video.
1:37:49
I didn't see they were that hot.
1:37:50
Well, trust me.
1:37:53
Except there's a fat guy in there at
1:37:54
the end.
1:37:55
Okay, so they're marketing.
1:38:01
This is you.
1:38:02
I didn't realize that you just do this
1:38:04
constantly.
1:38:05
Every time anyone says anything, you do that
1:38:07
noise.
1:38:08
It's a curry thing.
1:38:09
But you could follow up by saying, I'll
1:38:12
just have a persimmon in my room or
1:38:14
something like that.
1:38:16
Persimmons are delicious.
1:38:17
They are, if they're mushy.
1:38:18
Okay, so that was...
1:38:20
No, the hard ones I like too.
1:38:22
So that was their marketing.
1:38:23
The pilot on the radio, I don't know
1:38:25
if that was the pilot in command, was
1:38:27
a guy, was a man who sounded very,
1:38:29
very authoritative as they were coming in for
1:38:32
the landing.
1:38:33
But, you know, not every crash is like...
1:38:37
Our whole airlines are not staffed with only
1:38:40
DEI.
1:38:41
It's become a little annoying.
1:38:43
I have flown with many women.
1:38:45
I've had one of my instructors was a
1:38:47
woman and I...
1:38:49
Some people believe that women are better pilots
1:38:52
because they have a lighter touch and they
1:38:54
don't try to force things.
1:38:56
I don't know about that.
1:38:57
I see no difference.
1:38:58
I've been in very, very poor conditions.
1:39:03
Flying with a female instructor, I was very
1:39:05
impressed.
1:39:07
There's no difference except...
1:39:10
And by the way, Abby was like 5
1:39:12
'1".
1:39:13
She had to sit on a cushion and
1:39:14
she is a fantastic pilot.
1:39:17
She's now actually at a regional airline.
1:39:19
She got scooped away.
1:39:21
Who's Abby?
1:39:22
She was my instructor here when I'm flying
1:39:26
the Cirrus planes.
1:39:28
So it's just bullcrap.
1:39:31
Was there a problem for white straight men
1:39:34
getting a job?
1:39:35
Yes, absolutely.
1:39:36
That doesn't mean that all pilots suck.
1:39:39
And so before I get to the accident
1:39:43
itself, which everyone is just speculating based upon
1:39:47
a video, which is a pretty decent video
1:39:49
of the crash.
1:39:51
The people who need to be celebrated in
1:39:53
this case, at least one but probably two
1:39:56
women, are the flight attendants.
1:39:58
This is what people are missing in this
1:40:01
whole thing.
1:40:02
This plane is upside down.
1:40:03
You don't know if it's going to burst
1:40:04
into flames.
1:40:06
These flight attendants are helping people get out
1:40:08
of the plane.
1:40:09
They probably help people unbuckle who are hanging
1:40:13
upside down.
1:40:14
These are the real heroes here that no
1:40:16
one ever talks about.
1:40:17
And that's what they're trained to do.
1:40:19
They are not just there to serve you
1:40:21
your Sprite or your coffee.
1:40:25
They are there for your safety.
1:40:27
And I think they performed very well.
1:40:29
That one video, some guys like, oh yeah,
1:40:33
I better film this while I'm getting out
1:40:35
of the crashed airplane.
1:40:36
Okay, that tells you a lot about our
1:40:38
society.
1:40:39
But there's the flight attendant standing right there,
1:40:42
helping everybody get out.
1:40:43
Those people, you must thank your flight attendants.
1:40:49
So we don't know exactly what happened.
1:40:52
Breaking news, nobody knows anything.
1:40:56
It does look like the plane had a
1:40:58
hard landing.
1:40:59
We'll get all the details once we have
1:41:00
all the flight data recorded in the cockpit
1:41:02
voice recorder.
1:41:04
It could be that it was so hard
1:41:07
that the landing gear collapsed.
1:41:09
Because what ultimately happened is the right wing
1:41:11
touched the ground, dug into the ground, which
1:41:14
was mainly snow covered.
1:41:16
It could have also been that there was
1:41:19
a bank of snow on the right.
1:41:21
These are pretty low, low wings on the
1:41:24
on the right.
1:41:24
The CRJ and that the hard landing, you
1:41:27
know, the wings are flexible.
1:41:28
Boom, hit the ground.
1:41:29
And of course, the reason why, you know,
1:41:31
why it turned over is because that right
1:41:33
wing got ripped off, which was good because
1:41:36
all the explosion happened behind the plane as
1:41:38
it's moving forward.
1:41:40
The left wing still has lift, flips it
1:41:42
over.
1:41:42
And that was also good, really, because the
1:41:45
fuselage didn't have time to break apart because
1:41:47
the tail then becomes an anchor.
1:41:49
And I mean, you walk away from it,
1:41:52
great landing.
1:41:53
So we don't know exactly what happened.
1:41:56
It could be mechanical with the gear to
1:41:58
everybody I know and myself.
1:42:00
It looked like that was a hard landing.
1:42:02
There was no flare, which is when you
1:42:03
pull back just before you land.
1:42:06
Could it have been a wind gust that
1:42:08
stopped all of a sudden?
1:42:09
We don't know at this moment.
1:42:11
We don't know.
1:42:15
You caught me flat footed on the last
1:42:18
show.
1:42:19
About what?
1:42:19
About the multiplex of aviation communications.
1:42:26
You really caught me off guard.
1:42:28
I'm like, wow.
1:42:29
And we don't have to.
1:42:30
I got nothing but notes about this.
1:42:33
And the whole thing boils down to one
1:42:35
letter that came in from one of our
1:42:36
guys, one of our producers that said, look,
1:42:39
yeah, it's doable if you want to drop
1:42:42
billions of dollars into rejiggering the whole system
1:42:45
to an extreme.
1:42:46
It's not worth it.
1:42:47
Because and I had to agree.
1:42:49
And I said, well, you know, these incidents,
1:42:52
these have duplex incidents are so as a
1:42:56
problem.
1:42:57
Once the last does it happen all the
1:42:59
time?
1:42:59
No, it happened this one time, maybe.
1:43:01
And it was just like part of a
1:43:03
larger complex of problems.
1:43:07
OK, I bail on the whole thing.
1:43:10
There was just one other point that as
1:43:12
I thought about it, which I must have
1:43:14
gotten 20 emails I mean, I am always
1:43:17
blown away by the level of expertise in
1:43:22
every area.
1:43:23
It's pretty funny, actually.
1:43:25
You know what's funny?
1:43:26
Let me just just interrupt you for a
1:43:28
second here.
1:43:29
It's really amazing to me the kind of
1:43:31
expertise and the experiences we have as a
1:43:34
general audience and so far as our producers
1:43:36
are concerned.
1:43:37
But yet I can't get a sweatshirt or
1:43:41
a hoodie from Ohio State.
1:43:43
A fan of the football team that won
1:43:46
the national championship.
1:43:47
Instead, I got a bib from one of
1:43:49
the producers who sent a baby bib of
1:43:51
Ohio State baby bib.
1:43:53
That should tell you when I was when
1:43:54
I was at over at Twit Twit, they
1:43:59
would get plenty of sweatshirts from people.
1:44:01
But no, all we have, we have a
1:44:03
lot of experts, but nobody that seems to
1:44:05
have a degree from Ohio State.
1:44:07
Well, there you go.
1:44:08
I'll call JD.
1:44:10
Maybe JD Vance can help you out.
1:44:12
The one thing I wanted to add to
1:44:14
it is that in the current system, because
1:44:16
it is half duplex and when you key
1:44:20
up, you know, no one no one else
1:44:22
can talk basically.
1:44:24
Well, they can, but then no one hears
1:44:25
anything.
1:44:27
It has created a very strict protocol of
1:44:30
waiting your turn.
1:44:32
And because you're listening much better and it's
1:44:34
not digital, it's analog.
1:44:36
So, you know, some guys like this, you
1:44:39
know, you're really listening much better.
1:44:42
You have a much better overall situational awareness.
1:44:46
I mean, what you're basically saying or what
1:44:48
you questioned would be the equivalent of a
1:44:51
party line.
1:44:52
If it was a party line, anybody could
1:44:54
just talk up whenever they wanted to.
1:44:56
It would be a complete mess.
1:44:58
There'd be no procedural discipline.
1:45:01
And also add to that that one frequency
1:45:04
like this, one frequency here at our airport
1:45:07
in Gillespie, that's used for three other airports
1:45:10
around.
1:45:10
And so, you know, you would be confused.
1:45:12
I said, wait a minute.
1:45:14
If you're just coming in loud and clear
1:45:16
and everybody's everybody's full duplex, it could be
1:45:20
very, it could be much more dangerous.
1:45:21
So, but you did it.
1:45:23
You caught me flat footed.
1:45:24
I was, I was like, holy crap.
1:45:26
I had never thought about this.
1:45:29
No, you're not doing it right.
1:45:35
By the way, anonymous air traffic controller says,
1:45:39
I am so happy Doge is getting into
1:45:41
the FAA.
1:45:42
He says, thank goodness.
1:45:45
He says the union is the problem.
1:45:48
The union boondogglers and union leadership officials and
1:45:52
local and national positions are terrified of being
1:45:55
forced back into the facility to actually work
1:45:58
as controllers.
1:46:00
There's a whole layer of middle management that
1:46:03
does nothing.
1:46:05
As you know that, yeah, I don't have
1:46:09
any, a lot of clips.
1:46:10
There's a couple of the super clips about
1:46:12
this where they blame Trump for this wreck.
1:46:14
Oh, yeah, of course.
1:46:16
Yeah.
1:46:16
And so I do have at least one
1:46:18
thing that kind of incorporates what you just
1:46:20
said, which is the Gail King on, on
1:46:23
the morning show.
1:46:24
She's, she goes out, she uses this thesis
1:46:27
against, and she's got the Delta CEO on
1:46:29
who explained something to her.
1:46:31
And this is a clip Delta CEO versus
1:46:34
Gail King.
1:46:36
No, the Trump administration recently fired many employees
1:46:40
of the FAA administration.
1:46:41
Do those cuts, do those cuts worry you?
1:46:44
And do you think that impacts the safety?
1:46:46
I know you just said it's the safest
1:46:47
way to travel.
1:46:48
But after looking at all these mishaps, a
1:46:50
lot of people are very nervous.
1:46:51
Do these cuts affect you?
1:46:53
The cuts do not affect us, Gail.
1:46:55
I've been in close communication with the secretary
1:46:58
of transportation.
1:46:59
I understand that the cuts at this time
1:47:03
are something that are raising questions.
1:47:05
But the reality is there's over 50,000
1:47:07
people that work at the FAA and the
1:47:09
cuts, I understand, were 300 people and they
1:47:11
were in non-critical safety functions.
1:47:14
The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply
1:47:18
in terms of improving the overall technologies that
1:47:20
are used in the air traffic control systems
1:47:22
and modernizing the skies.
1:47:24
They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators
1:47:27
and safety investigators.
1:47:30
So no, I'm not concerned with that at
1:47:32
all.
1:47:33
Completely true.
1:47:34
And what the anonymous controller said, what would
1:47:38
really improve the air traffic system is two
1:47:40
things, weather radar and communication lines.
1:47:44
These two systems are from the 60s.
1:47:46
Weather radar is so delayed that what air
1:47:49
traffic depicts is sometimes not even relatively close
1:47:51
to what pilots see on their iPads.
1:47:54
And then the systems go down, they have
1:47:57
to call in, they have to dial in
1:47:58
eight digit numbers to reconnect.
1:48:01
So they're actually working with very outdated radar
1:48:04
technology.
1:48:05
That's something that could be easily upgraded.
1:48:11
So there was some interesting news that came
1:48:16
out that Alex Berenson was all just going
1:48:21
nuts about.
1:48:22
Nuts!
1:48:25
Top Yale scientists have found T-cell exhaustion
1:48:29
and prolonged spike protein production in some COVID
1:48:34
vaccine recipients.
1:48:37
And they are saying that, well, it looks
1:48:39
like these people have HIV virus, which I'm
1:48:45
pretty sure we talked about on the show
1:48:47
was actually found in these vaccines.
1:48:50
This was the French Nobel Prize guy that
1:48:54
brought it up.
1:48:55
When he first looked at the breakdown of
1:48:59
the genetics of the COVID itself, he saw
1:49:06
it in there and he thought that maybe
1:49:09
this was part of a system that was
1:49:12
going to be used as a way of
1:49:14
vaccinating against HIV.
1:49:17
And that's why it was hanging in there.
1:49:20
Well, so now what's happening, and it's very
1:49:22
obvious, Deborah Birx, Rear Admiral Birx, is out
1:49:28
on a PR tour.
1:49:31
Yeah.
1:49:31
And her whole, as far as I can
1:49:35
tell, her mission is one thing, is to
1:49:39
say it's long COVID and to steer you
1:49:43
away from noticing that long COVID may in
1:49:46
fact be a vaccine injury and may in
1:49:49
fact be not that you have full blown
1:49:51
AIDS, but that your immune system is weakened
1:49:54
by the insertion of the HIV virus.
1:49:58
Here she is with the Cuomo kid.
1:50:00
Comparisons to HIV.
1:50:02
You've done a ton of research in this.
1:50:04
He's read in, by the way.
1:50:05
There's no there's no reason that he starts
1:50:08
off by saying, well, comparisons to HIV.
1:50:11
What?
1:50:12
Comparisons to HIV.
1:50:14
You've done a ton of research in this.
1:50:16
Do you believe this is a false flag?
1:50:18
Is there something that contextually people need to
1:50:21
understand about that comparison?
1:50:23
Or is this much darker a potential reality
1:50:26
than we knew?
1:50:27
The reason the comparison to HIV is important
1:50:30
is because HIV was also asymptomatic.
1:50:34
I mean, you couldn't see the virus through
1:50:36
symptoms because people were infected for seven, eight,
1:50:39
nine years before they developed symptoms.
1:50:41
No, no.
1:50:42
You killed them with your interferon rejected cancer
1:50:47
drug.
1:50:48
That's what happened, allegedly.
1:50:50
But HIV quietly destroyed our immune system.
1:50:53
And we learned a lot about immunology from
1:50:56
HIV.
1:50:57
And it's changed completely our cancer therapy.
1:50:59
Thank you.
1:51:00
Klipkosodium AZT.
1:51:01
Yes, we're learning now about mitochondria and viral
1:51:05
impact and brain fog.
1:51:07
And the changes in our neurons and the
1:51:11
cells that nourish our neurons that really allow
1:51:15
us to think and move.
1:51:17
And we're learning that because of what COVID
1:51:19
has done.
1:51:20
And so there's two sides of this coin
1:51:23
every time.
1:51:24
There's a lot of destruction that mild and
1:51:27
moderate COVID can do that is on scene,
1:51:29
just like HIV was destroying our immune system.
1:51:32
But what came out of that is brilliant
1:51:35
science that changed how we treated HIV.
1:51:38
And if you're diagnosed today, you can live
1:51:40
a very normal lifespan and people not only
1:51:44
survive, but thrive.
1:51:45
We need to get to the place where
1:51:47
people with long COVID, we've done the research
1:51:49
so that people with long COVID can not
1:51:52
only survive, but thrive.
1:51:54
I mean, she's literally saying you've got HIV,
1:51:57
which, by the way, HIV, there was no
1:52:00
reason for it to kill people.
1:52:01
But with full development of AIDS, in my
1:52:04
opinion, I'm not a scientist, but I saw
1:52:07
a lot of people die after they went
1:52:08
into the hospital after a PCR test for
1:52:12
the equivalent with AIDS.
1:52:14
And it was staring us in the face
1:52:16
the whole time.
1:52:17
She and Fauci were the AIDS team together.
1:52:20
And now she's out and you're going to
1:52:22
see it.
1:52:23
It's they're going to say, well, it's, you
1:52:25
know, long COVID is kind of like HIV.
1:52:27
It's the same.
1:52:28
It may be actual HIV does not mean
1:52:31
you're going to die, does not have to
1:52:34
mean that at all.
1:52:35
That was, in my opinion, one of the
1:52:37
largest, horrible scams before COVID.
1:52:40
And now here she is with the panel,
1:52:42
although it's mainly her speaking in these clips
1:52:44
on Pierce Morgan doing the same thing.
1:52:48
I got to travel the country for many
1:52:51
months during COVID working at the state level
1:52:53
and the community level.
1:52:55
And what I witnessed was a lot of
1:52:58
undiagnosed disease that could have been treated early
1:53:01
that then resulted in COVID deaths.
1:53:04
And I saw a health system that had
1:53:07
completely deteriorated in our rural areas.
1:53:11
Our rural areas really don't have access to
1:53:13
health care anymore.
1:53:14
And the hub and spoke model that we
1:53:16
had set up to get really sick people
1:53:18
into the regional medical centers, they were overwhelmed
1:53:22
themselves.
1:53:22
So COVID pointed out a lot of our
1:53:25
issues with chronic disease, like with early HIV,
1:53:29
when we started, we were only treating those
1:53:31
with symptoms.
1:53:32
Well, that was the tip of the iceberg.
1:53:34
When we finally started working and finding asymptomatic
1:53:37
individuals and getting on getting them on treatment
1:53:40
early before they had evidence of disease, they
1:53:43
could thrive.
1:53:44
Do you hear what she's doing?
1:53:46
This is a setup.
1:53:47
This is a huge setup to pivot.
1:53:52
To quantum computing, to pivot and say, well,
1:53:56
it's just like HIV, but we'll give you
1:54:00
this prep or whatever medicine they've got waiting
1:54:02
in the wings is probably the same muck
1:54:04
and you'll be able to thrive.
1:54:06
Don't worry about it.
1:54:07
We'll cure you of your long COVID.
1:54:09
And oh, by the way, here she is
1:54:10
lying, outright lying.
1:54:13
And what we've done wrong in public health
1:54:16
is we didn't explain that COVID vaccines were
1:54:19
nothing like the childhood vaccines and that the
1:54:22
childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases, you
1:54:25
get it once, you don't get it again,
1:54:27
and this is getting the children to have
1:54:30
that disease without getting the deadly consequences.
1:54:35
Wow, boy, they may not have said it
1:54:39
exactly like that, but they sure made it
1:54:41
sound like that.
1:54:42
What is your recollection, John?
1:54:45
Well, a couple of things.
1:54:46
First of all, I don't subscribe necessarily to
1:54:48
the fact that she's, that this is vaccine
1:54:51
damage.
1:54:51
JC, who had the original COVID, had long
1:54:54
COVID and he never got a shot.
1:54:57
So I'm not, and we know that the
1:54:59
HIV was part of the COVID-19 genome
1:55:03
itself.
1:55:04
So I think there's some elements there that
1:55:06
aren't being discussed or ignored.
1:55:09
So I'm not convinced that this thesis of
1:55:11
yours is completely correct.
1:55:13
Now, what I do remember, though, is yes,
1:55:16
they were totally on board with 100%
1:55:19
effectiveness.
1:55:20
In fact, they jacked it up from like
1:55:22
80% effective to 90%.
1:55:24
Then it was 100% safe and effective.
1:55:27
They were injecting pregnant women.
1:55:29
And they were injecting pregnant women, which should
1:55:31
never have been done because it was emergency
1:55:34
use authorization.
1:55:35
It wasn't even a regular product.
1:55:38
But now it was, it was, no, I'm
1:55:41
not arguing that.
1:55:42
That's for sure.
1:55:42
I just don't know what this woman's up
1:55:44
to.
1:55:44
Well, listen, that is not what the COVID
1:55:46
vaccine was designed to do.
1:55:48
It wasn't designed to prevent against infection.
1:55:51
And if you look at the vaccine hesitancy
1:55:53
rates, they've doubled since COVID.
1:55:56
It wasn't designed to protect against infection.
1:56:00
I'm sorry.
1:56:01
Yeah, that's just a blatant lie.
1:56:03
So we have to start addressing these things.
1:56:06
It's a blatant lie.
1:56:07
And Debra, let me ask you, let me
1:56:09
ask you, Debra.
1:56:10
I mean, given that you were the face
1:56:11
of COVID.
1:56:11
Play back her old clips.
1:56:13
Yeah, exactly.
1:56:14
The Trump presidency at the time.
1:56:17
Do you share, this doctor who I was
1:56:19
with, do you share the concerns about the
1:56:22
longer-term negative impact of some of the
1:56:25
COVID vaccines?
1:56:26
The messenger RNA vaccine should have been rolled
1:56:29
out for the people that were at risk
1:56:31
for severe disease, because that's what the vaccine
1:56:34
was developed for.
1:56:36
Oh, pregnant mothers.
1:56:38
But when we say that we're following the
1:56:40
science and the data, we need to follow
1:56:42
the science and the data.
1:56:43
And the science and the data said people
1:56:45
primarily over 65 or people with significant comorbidities
1:56:49
were at risk for severe disease.
1:56:51
Oh, it should have only, we only supposed
1:56:53
to kill off old people.
1:56:54
Got it.
1:56:55
Those are the individuals that should have been
1:56:57
immunized first.
1:56:58
And we should have put our science behind
1:57:01
our immunization schedule.
1:57:03
You kept telling us it was the science.
1:57:06
All I heard was follow the science.
1:57:08
That's the science.
1:57:09
The science is in.
1:57:10
It's the science.
1:57:11
Here, get a burger.
1:57:12
Get your shot.
1:57:12
Follow the science.
1:57:14
And protected those most at risk.
1:57:16
It went into young people in hospitals before
1:57:19
it went into our elderly and nursing homes.
1:57:21
That is not following the science and the
1:57:23
data.
1:57:24
So I am all for following the science
1:57:26
and the data.
1:57:27
But it should just be a statement.
1:57:31
It should be a reality.
1:57:32
And when we don't match what we do
1:57:34
in public health to the science and the
1:57:36
data, that is when we get into trouble.
1:57:38
And that's when we start to fracture trust
1:57:40
with the American people.
1:57:42
Oh, man.
1:57:43
I like the science and data.
1:57:44
It's always the same science and data.
1:57:46
You know, this reminds me of safe and
1:57:48
effective.
1:57:48
And the current one on the right, of
1:57:50
course, is waste, fraud and abuse.
1:57:52
Yes.
1:57:53
It's not waste, abuse and fraud or fraud
1:57:56
or just waste.
1:57:57
It's waste, fraud and abuse.
1:57:59
And they say it.
1:58:00
I mean, if someone wants to put a
1:58:01
supercut together, you could have everybody on Fox
1:58:04
and half the people on the other network
1:58:06
saying waste, fraud and abuse as though it
1:58:09
was a mantra.
1:58:11
Yes, yes, that's true.
1:58:13
I'm just very disturbed by this campaign she's
1:58:18
on.
1:58:18
And you're right.
1:58:20
Why isn't Pierce playing a supercut of her
1:58:22
saying safe and effective?
1:58:23
Follow the science.
1:58:24
It's all good.
1:58:25
You got to get it, moms.
1:58:26
You got to get it.
1:58:27
Oh, everybody has to.
1:58:27
You got to have a booster.
1:58:28
Got to have three boosters.
1:58:29
Got to have four boosters.
1:58:30
Got to have five boosters.
1:58:31
Six, six boosters.
1:58:32
You got to have all that.
1:58:34
People lost their job.
1:58:36
People lost their jobs.
1:58:39
I can't believe she's.
1:58:40
It's an apology tour.
1:58:44
She is never without a mission.
1:58:46
She is never without a mission, this woman.
1:58:48
Well, I think maybe the mission is the
1:58:51
apology tour because they want to keep MRNA
1:58:54
in play.
1:58:55
No kidding.
1:58:57
Because, you know, Stargate, we're going to solve
1:58:59
cancer, by the way, while we're on it.
1:59:03
Hold on a second.
1:59:04
Here we go.
1:59:05
According to a new report on cancer, cancer
1:59:08
is appearing more than ever before in women
1:59:11
and younger adults as well.
1:59:12
For the first time in years, men and
1:59:14
women now have nearly the same cancer risk.
1:59:16
It's a shift driven by a rise in
1:59:18
cancer cases among women under 50.
1:59:21
According to the 2025 report from the American
1:59:23
Cancer Society, cancer diagnosis in younger adults are
1:59:27
increasing at a steady rate.
1:59:28
And overall, people under 65.
1:59:30
What could it be?
1:59:31
Are seeing cancer rates climb between one to
1:59:34
three percent compared to older adults.
1:59:36
And that's challenging the long held belief that
1:59:38
cancer is primarily a disease of aging.
1:59:41
OK, then we have this report.
1:59:43
Heart attacks are still rare for young people,
1:59:45
but lately the rates are rising.
1:59:48
What?
1:59:48
According to the Smith Heart Institute, people 25
1:59:51
to 44 saw a nearly 33 percent increase
1:59:54
in heart attack deaths since 2020.
1:59:58
Since 2020.
1:59:59
What could have changed since 2020?
2:00:02
I'm trying.
2:00:03
I'm racking my brain.
2:00:04
And thanks for the people.
2:00:05
Thanks for the 30, 30, 20, 20, 20.
2:00:08
Chances are, if you or if you know
2:00:10
10 people, you'll have met or at least
2:00:12
two of those people will have had a
2:00:14
heart attack.
2:00:14
Dr. Zachariah Neely, a cardiologist with Riverside Health,
2:00:18
says there are several reasons behind this, like
2:00:20
a lack of exercise, a rise in obesity
2:00:23
and even marijuana consumption.
2:00:28
That's what it is.
2:00:29
Traditionally, it's been viewed as a safer alternative
2:00:32
to tobacco.
2:00:33
Marijuana and marijuana products actually seem to be
2:00:36
just as, if not more pro inflammatory, as
2:00:40
well as putting you at risk for heart
2:00:42
disease and heart attacks in the future.
2:00:44
According to the CDC, heart disease is the
2:00:47
leading cause of death in the US.
2:00:51
These these lying people and the pharmaceutical industry,
2:00:55
oh, we better do something before before RFK
2:00:58
Junior gets in.
2:01:00
Get your flu shot.
2:01:01
On the medical watch for you this afternoon,
2:01:03
it is the worst flu season to hit
2:01:05
the US in 15 years.
2:01:06
The CDC reports there have been at least
2:01:09
29 million estimated cases so far this season.
2:01:12
There have been 16,000 deaths, though, as
2:01:15
of February.
2:01:16
They've got more refrigerated truck morgues.
2:01:19
68 kids have died.
2:01:21
There have been also a minimum of 370
2:01:23
,000 hospitalizations this season, maybe more severe due
2:01:27
to falling vaccination rates in recent years for
2:01:30
some groups, including children.
2:01:32
I believe 16,000 is actually low.
2:01:36
It's typically it's more in the 30 to
2:01:39
60,000.
2:01:41
Well, those numbers are dubious.
2:01:43
OK, we had to be during the covid
2:01:46
period.
2:01:47
We found these numbers were dubious.
2:01:48
There was zero.
2:01:49
There was zero during covid.
2:01:50
There were no flu deaths.
2:01:52
Zero.
2:01:52
It went away.
2:01:53
The flu was gone.
2:01:54
It's crazy.
2:01:55
But wait, we have breaking news.
2:01:57
We have an outbreak.
2:01:58
The measles outbreak in rural West Texas has
2:02:01
grown to 58 cases as of today.
2:02:04
And I'll wait until you hear the cause
2:02:06
of this.
2:02:07
I can tell you.
2:02:07
Can you guess?
2:02:08
Can you guess who?
2:02:09
Mallory's.
2:02:10
No, no.
2:02:11
Experts believe it jumped the state line into
2:02:12
eastern New Mexico, with eight people now diagnosed
2:02:15
with that highly contagious virus.
2:02:18
Public health officials in New Mexico have said
2:02:20
they suspect some of the state's cases are
2:02:22
linked to the Texas outbreak, but have not
2:02:25
confirmed it yet.
2:02:26
In Texas, 13 people are hospitalized.
2:02:29
State health officials say it's the largest outbreak
2:02:32
in 30 years there.
2:02:34
The cases in Texas are concentrated in a
2:02:36
close knit, under-vaccinated Mennonite community where many
2:02:39
children are homeschooled or taught in private religious
2:02:42
schools.
2:02:43
It's the religious freaks.
2:02:45
It's their fault.
2:02:46
Blame it on them.
2:02:48
The Mennonites.
2:02:49
What are Mennonites, by the way?
2:02:51
What is there?
2:02:51
It's like an Amish.
2:02:53
Oh.
2:02:54
It's a spin-off.
2:02:55
It's a different group, but I think it's
2:02:56
similar.
2:02:57
Ah, it's a subgroup.
2:02:59
Okay.
2:03:00
And then finally...
2:03:01
Or an overgroup.
2:03:01
Maybe they may be the progenitors.
2:03:03
I'm not sure.
2:03:04
I should know.
2:03:05
We should both know this.
2:03:06
Yeah, we should know.
2:03:07
We're both Americans.
2:03:08
These are Americans we're talking about.
2:03:09
We should know what the deal is, and
2:03:11
we don't.
2:03:11
It just sounds like, ooh, Mennonites.
2:03:13
Ooh, they're the cause of measles.
2:03:15
Oh, no.
2:03:16
And then finally, ah, yes.
2:03:18
Let's just reiterate why we need Ozempic to
2:03:20
be on Medicare.
2:03:21
There may be yet another use for the
2:03:23
drugs Ozempic and Lugovine beyond diabetes and weight
2:03:27
loss.
2:03:27
A new study shows the active ingredient, semaglutide,
2:03:31
may also help reduce alcohol cravings in people
2:03:34
with alcohol use disorder.
2:03:36
That's a condition where a person can't stop
2:03:38
drinking alcohol or has become dependent on it.
2:03:41
In the study, people injected with semaglutide had
2:03:45
reduced alcohol cravings in fewer heavy drinking days.
2:03:48
Roughly 400 million people suffer with alcohol use
2:03:52
disorder around the world.
2:03:55
I have the I have the the data
2:03:58
sheet here as to how that works.
2:04:01
Why people stop drinking while on Ozempic.
2:04:06
It's because.
2:04:07
Probably because they're nauseous.
2:04:08
No, they can't find the bottle because they
2:04:10
go blind.
2:04:12
Yeah.
2:04:15
Long way.
2:04:17
Yeah, it was necessary.
2:04:19
Um, 11 second truth wants to come out.
2:04:22
I want a truth wants to come out.
2:04:24
Obviously, Sean Hannity promoting Laura Trump's new program.
2:04:29
All right.
2:04:30
Joining us now, the host of the upcoming
2:04:32
hit show, My View with Laura Trump.
2:04:36
And by the way, take that to the
2:04:37
bank.
2:04:37
It will be a hit show.
2:04:39
Laura shit.
2:04:39
He says Laura shit.
2:04:40
Laura's shit of the upcoming hit show my
2:04:44
view with Laura shit Trump and by the
2:04:47
way take that to the bank it will
2:04:48
be a hit show.
2:04:49
Laura's shit what is it what was in
2:04:51
his mind?
2:04:53
The show probably Laura Trump doesn't seem to
2:04:57
have that the personality to pull off a
2:04:58
show.
2:04:59
I don't know why she you know you
2:05:00
know the Fox is gonna change which will
2:05:05
be interesting as you know Rupert Murdoch has
2:05:10
been trying to change his irrevocable trust which
2:05:13
is kind of like huh isn't it irrevocable
2:05:17
for the fact that it's irrevocable and he
2:05:20
wanted he wanted to not have his his
2:05:25
liberal children to get control of Fox News
2:05:27
and News Corp.
2:05:29
He wanted to give it to the to
2:05:32
Lachlan.
2:05:34
Lachlan that went this more middle of the
2:05:36
road.
2:05:37
Yeah well it looks like that's not gonna
2:05:39
happen.
2:05:40
So what will happen to Fox News?
2:05:43
It'll be like CNN and MSNBC.
2:05:46
What will happen to Gutfeld?
2:05:49
Although I have to say I have to
2:05:50
mention this because I had done radio work
2:05:53
for KSFO and KGO.
2:05:56
Oh you've done radio work have you?
2:05:58
Yes I have and the guy who and
2:06:02
the guy I can't remember his name I
2:06:04
should remember his name but the station manager
2:06:06
for KGO which was very had a bunch
2:06:08
of liberals on there were yakking away about
2:06:10
stuff to talk radio in the old days.
2:06:14
He also ran the most conservative station which
2:06:17
was the other one I guess it was
2:06:19
KSFO but he the same guy whose name
2:06:23
will come to me he was he could
2:06:25
do he's he himself was a rampant liberal
2:06:30
but he had no problem running a money
2:06:33
-making organization that had nothing but conservative talk
2:06:36
radio in fact where Rush Limbaugh ended up.
2:06:40
So it's possible you don't have to you
2:06:43
know if you're a money maker yeah you
2:06:45
know you can say well you know I'm
2:06:48
not going with the MSNBC stuff because that
2:06:51
just loses money.
2:06:53
Well maybe his liberal children don't care about
2:06:56
making money they've got their money.
2:06:59
They're gonna do it for America.
2:07:01
What kind of a break how was these
2:07:03
how were these kids raised?
2:07:05
They're gonna do it for America well he
2:07:07
had eight wives I mean who knows who
2:07:11
raised them you don't know you don't know
2:07:14
if we were running the show we'd know
2:07:16
what to do.
2:07:18
What?
2:07:19
I don't know we'd know what to do
2:07:21
we'd have on doing what's her name Becky
2:07:23
what's the name of that woman you kept
2:07:24
that did the sigh?
2:07:27
Aunt Gigi?
2:07:28

2:07:31

2:10:22
do a pretty good job there with the
2:10:24
government podcast system which would be kind of
2:10:26
fun instead we ask you to contribute value
2:10:30

2:10:32
people who sent us notes like the anonymous
2:10:35

2:10:41
so so much everyone's an expert at something
2:10:43
when you hear something come up it will
2:10:45
probably be wrong correct us we're not wrong
2:10:49
we're not always wrong but sometimes we're wrong
2:10:51
and people correct us we've been wrong we've
2:10:54
been they put us back on about something
2:10:56
a couple weeks ago they put us back
2:10:58
on the center line it's good it's appreciated
2:11:00
it's time talent and treasure we have artists
2:11:03
who participate gladly in trying to get us
2:11:08
the best possible album art for to use
2:11:11
for each episode taunta neil man she did
2:11:14
not like this this one we chose for
2:11:16
uh episode 1739 which she titled hype hypophora
2:11:22
um she she was mad about it kind
2:11:25
of why well she said this is the
2:11:28
most infantile piece of crap now i'm paraphrasing
2:11:32
but she thought it was lame she thought
2:11:34
you know the other foot the other football
2:11:37
uh art was better there was no blood
2:11:40
you know she wanted blood she wanted blood
2:11:42
people bludgeoning each other she just thought it
2:11:44
was lame someone just typed in some things
2:11:46
into a prompt and there it is that's
2:11:50
all they did i i think she's just
2:11:52
hurt he's hurt why what does she do
2:11:54
that was so great well she's done lots
2:11:57
of great art what are you talking about
2:11:58
i'm talking about on that for that show
2:12:00
in particular no she was just saying it
2:12:02
in general in general we she was critiquing
2:12:06
okay i have the solution start a blog
2:12:11
she was correct about the she thought the
2:12:14
boxing soccer was uh very poorly placed uh
2:12:18
it was a bad color which we both
2:12:20
agree is correct oh yeah no i i
2:12:23
we both i said when we picked it
2:12:25
i said the problem was but it's too
2:12:28
small boxing soccer was way too small yes
2:12:31
but you agreed yes but we picked it
2:12:34
because we thought it was funny it was
2:12:37
funny yeah it was definitely funny and it
2:12:39
was the one i liked the most was
2:12:41
the tan staffles which i guess is some
2:12:44
sort of cookie oh no it's it's an
2:12:46
acronym we've been through that before i mean
2:12:49
i don't yes we have yes we have
2:12:51
but he did a or he she did
2:12:53
a uh plate glass window thing as a
2:12:56
free lunch tan stoffel is the acronym there
2:13:00
there's no such thing as a free lunch
2:13:04
there ain't no such thing as a free
2:13:06
lunch there ain't no such thing as a
2:13:08
free lunch yes exactly so which one did
2:13:11
tan stoffel do he did the the stained
2:13:14
glass window that was pretty you use that
2:13:16
for the newsletter i saw use it for
2:13:18
the newsletter i liked it a lot i
2:13:19
was gonna i picked it as the as
2:13:21
the winner but it had no uh had
2:13:23
nothing to do with the show really just
2:13:24
was it was an evergreen yes and so
2:13:27
we both decided that the boxing soccer guys
2:13:31
with the coming out with their gloves on
2:13:32
yeah it was the way to go and
2:13:34
then there was nothing else what else was
2:13:36
there to pick that that taunted what did
2:13:38
tantan you recommend no she she just said
2:13:40
it was uh infantile and i'm like yeah
2:13:43
that's us in a nutshell yeah that's the
2:13:46
way it is i didn't disagree i didn't
2:13:48
disagree with a better argument i hope we
2:13:52
don't scare her away for good now no
2:13:55
she's she's sweet she's a sweet girl she's
2:13:57
an artist she puts up with guff yeah
2:14:00
guff exactly she she used to make scrapbooks
2:14:03
about me she did yeah she had a
2:14:06
crush on you oh yeah and she gave
2:14:08
the scrapbooks to me when i had the
2:14:10
meetup in amsterdam i they're i cherish them
2:14:13
you still have them oh yeah does tina
2:14:17
know about this first thing i when i
2:14:19
came home was i'd look at look at
2:14:20
these scrapbooks but i was uh i was
2:14:23
in i was a teen hearthrob this is
2:14:28
where you can do the oh um thank
2:14:35
you to all these artists many of these
2:14:36
pieces show up in the chapter art uh
2:14:39
in the modern podcast app so it's not
2:14:41
like you're not throwing your art away if
2:14:43
we don't pick it for the album art
2:14:45
i think most of these were used was
2:14:47
there anything else that we talked about you
2:14:49
kind of like the um the idea of
2:14:53
the samford the bay bridge underwater yeah i
2:14:57
did but it didn't quite uh didn't quite
2:14:59
it wasn't that good i mean it was
2:15:02
it was a good idea but i it
2:15:03
wasn't executed to the point that was actually
2:15:05
that was actually a tantanille there you go
2:15:08
well maybe that's what you want it was
2:15:09
that was a good the idea was outstanding
2:15:12
but it wasn't uh what was the problem
2:15:13
how could she how could she improve on
2:15:15
it what was the problem i think that
2:15:18
i think she could improve on it by
2:15:21
just not using it at all chasing away
2:15:26
artists one episode at a time oh goodness
2:15:32
gracious all right well uh thank you very
2:15:36
much to was it blue acorn i think
2:15:37
was blue acorn wasn't it blue acorn yeah
2:15:40
blue acorn who brought us the artwork for
2:15:42
episode 1739 we appreciate that we also like
2:15:45
to thank everybody who supports us financially it's
2:15:47
the third leg of the time talent and
2:15:49
treasure we thank everyone fifty dollars and above
2:15:51
never under fifty dollars for reasons of anonymity
2:15:53
there are people just don't want to be
2:15:55
even risk being mentioned we understand that and
2:15:57
of course no agenda donations.com is where
2:16:00
you can um set up a recurring donation
2:16:03
any amount any frequency i i need to
2:16:05
correct you though um there is no bitcoin
2:16:09
donation via stripe i heard about this from
2:16:14
jay this morning when she called with an
2:16:16
urgent call which is rare have you heard
2:16:18
from adam i said what she says the
2:16:22
bitcoin button which is on the stripe donation
2:16:25
page you saw it there it says crypto
2:16:28
not bitcoin hold on what it says crypto
2:16:33
not bitcoin so as you click on it
2:16:35
so wait bitcoin is crypto if i'm not
2:16:39
mistaken right it is a crypto the og
2:16:42
cryptocurrency yes og crypto yes and your choices
2:16:46
are stablecoin usdc which is the circle stablecoin
2:16:52
or you can use solana there is no
2:16:57
bitcoin i never even heard of solana oh
2:16:59
no it's very what about ether ethernet coin
2:17:02
there's no you cannot use ethernet coin either
2:17:05
but it's mainly you can see the move
2:17:08
towards stablecoin which is yeah well that's been
2:17:11
your thesis all along okay well you can't
2:17:13
use bitcoin then we'll find something else i'm
2:17:16
at least somebody tested it and i guess
2:17:18
you were going to donate to the show
2:17:20
yes i was going this i was going
2:17:22
you're right i was going to test it
2:17:23
and i'm like okay let's hope i can
2:17:25
do this anonymously and i click on the
2:17:29
crypto the first i had to enter some
2:17:31
bogus information about myself like what's your name
2:17:35
and your address okay john holden here we
2:17:39
go man i had some other address saved
2:17:42
in my browser some someone else's i have
2:17:44
no idea who it was and then i
2:17:46
and then i and then i click through
2:17:48
and then and it says so it says
2:17:51
usdc a stablecoin knowing that because i was
2:17:55
i was going to donate 200 in in
2:17:58
bitcoin and then and then talk about that's
2:18:00
what you say you had to donate the
2:18:02
dollar no no i wanted to make sure
2:18:05
it showed up so i could say look
2:18:06
we can do bitcoin i'm going to talk
2:18:08
to j i think there's a solution because
2:18:10
people want to send us their bitcoin they
2:18:13
do i know the catherine in the in
2:18:15
thailand she wants to send us a full
2:18:17
bitcoin yeah she's she's yeah bitcoin granny i
2:18:23
have john's attention full bitcoin yeah and she'll
2:18:28
get more than a bag of weed out
2:18:30
of it um so we like to start
2:18:35
with our executive and associate executive producers that
2:18:38
means you have donated two hundred dollars or
2:18:41
above that you get an associate executive producer
2:18:43
credit that is an actual hollywood credit how
2:18:46
do i why because you can use this
2:18:49
holly why yes i'm doing hypophora it's a
2:18:52
real hollywood credit why because you can actually
2:18:55
open up an im imdb account if you
2:18:58
don't have one and list it as your
2:19:00
credit there because it's valid and accepted by
2:19:02
the show business community and we'll read your
2:19:05
note and if you send us three hundred
2:19:07
dollars or above to support the value you
2:19:10
receive from the show you will get an
2:19:12
executive producer credit which again is just as
2:19:16
valid as anything from show business land and
2:19:18
we will read your note and we started
2:19:20
off with now it's you know we didn't
2:19:23
hear from him for a while and now
2:19:24
he's back as a regular synonymous of uh
2:19:27
dog patch and lower slobovia comes in once
2:19:31
again with two thousand two hundred and fifty
2:19:34
four dollars we have no idea what the
2:19:36
number means it is some kind of codes
2:19:39
who always you you double counted it i
2:19:41
hope make sure that we don't oh yeah
2:19:42
we always double can't mess up some operation
2:19:45
somewhere and he kicks off the wrong bridge
2:19:48
got blown up no and he kicks off
2:19:52
a slew of notes that are just too
2:19:54
long well the last yes all the notes
2:19:57
are too long today and i want to
2:19:58
excoriate people his note is too long but
2:20:02
it makes up for the very short note
2:20:04
he wrote last time so i think it
2:20:05
evens out from synonymous of dog patch and
2:20:08
lower slobovia the producer value is immeasurable my
2:20:11
thanks to all of you for your support
2:20:13
and insight john given your background how could
2:20:15
you discuss an abacus instead of the slide
2:20:18
rule yes well here's the reason the abacus
2:20:22
which is a great product i have a
2:20:25
a grandson named theo who is learning math
2:20:29
and it turns out that using an abacus
2:20:32
helps you do memorization math whereas the slide
2:20:35
rule never does so by showing him how
2:20:38
to use the abacus which i have done
2:20:41
it will help him in his future mathematical
2:20:44
within his own brain capabilities that's why the
2:20:47
kid's going to be a genius does he
2:20:51
go around cursing like you do actually doesn't
2:20:56
curse most kids don't curse until until they
2:20:58
meet you until their parents do it too
2:21:00
much they meet grandpa he said now he
2:21:03
says i would appreciate producers insights into llms
2:21:07
and sorry if this is long large language
2:21:09
models here we go the evolution from human
2:21:12
to electronic computers advanced using proven mathematical mathematical
2:21:16
formula and with more data sets increasing levels
2:21:19
of statistical certainty to predict the mathematical outcome
2:21:22
and in time the next word of series
2:21:24
or series of words unlike mathematic models the
2:21:29
underlying bedrock of llms is the highly dynamic
2:21:31
english language sources include the most published reference
2:21:35
books as different as different as the holy
2:21:37
quran translated many versions of the bible translated
2:21:40
the tara translated shakespeare dr soothe agatha agatha
2:21:44
christie jk rowling's daniel steele and jrr tolkien
2:21:48
tolkien which as the most published would start
2:21:51
with greater weighting sources like x facebook tick
2:21:55
tock sms messages and email provide an ever
2:21:57
-shifting source data on which llms rely evolving
2:22:01
definitions and memes complicate these dynamic shifts he's
2:22:05
setting us up here my question is why
2:22:08
could so-called hallucinations be the result of
2:22:11
poor statistical outcomes based on divergent language styles
2:22:15
in the reference data sets that because it
2:22:18
can only predict probabilities of word order using
2:22:21
in your sentence rules assemble sentences that capture
2:22:24
the most probable order unlike quantitative models based
2:22:28
on mathematics and statistics that are done generically
2:22:31
i expect llm prediction error rate declines as
2:22:35
the program identifies patterns from a specific user's
2:22:38
language style suggesting successful llms will become user
2:22:42
specific rather than broad-based solutions creating millions
2:22:46
of unique llms so-called training i'm on
2:22:49
board with that further quantitative models trace precedents
2:22:54
permitting the use to uncover formula errors or
2:22:57
flawed logic llms because they are english language
2:23:00
-based lift from a broad array of word
2:23:03
sources to develop its probability chain limiting user
2:23:06
ability to trace sources and uncover what created
2:23:09
the flawed outcome as already discussed on no
2:23:11
agenda these programs can certainly pull data from
2:23:14
copyright protected data without payment or attribution can
2:23:17
the publisher use blockchain to protect or allow
2:23:20
the llm to attribute brother adam as for
2:23:25
future data sources over 1 million books are
2:23:28
published in the us by large publishers and
2:23:30
another 3 million per year are self-published
2:23:32
books too many eggs to count don't worry
2:23:35
doge sizing hasn't found me i'm just busy
2:23:38
no jingles no karma if you want to
2:23:41
answer seronimous of dog patch and lois lobovia
2:23:44
we will read your note if you donate
2:23:46
2254 i have no idea what to say
2:23:53
to him well we have people out there
2:23:56
that have heard this they will probably re
2:23:58
-listen to it and they can contribute to
2:24:00
the discussion yes i was thinking about something
2:24:04
the other day though uh as they were
2:24:07
talking about intel being just the big coming
2:24:10
turning into kind of a uh the you
2:24:13
know the the progenitor of intel is actually
2:24:15
shockley semiconductors which then evolved into fairchild semiconductors
2:24:19
which then involved evolved into intel which then
2:24:24
devolved into what it is today i have
2:24:27
a chip in my collection the collection d
2:24:31
collection oh god an intel neural network chip
2:24:35
that they brought out i believe it was
2:24:37
in the 80s and this neural network chip
2:24:42
which is basically what kind of i mean
2:24:44
the neural networks are important to the use
2:24:46
to the large language models and it seems
2:24:49
to me that intel was on to this
2:24:51
whole idea early in the game during the
2:24:54
first iteration or his last not the first
2:24:56
but the last iteration we had in the
2:24:58
80s of artificial intelligence and then they dropped
2:25:01
the ball completely and that dropping the ball
2:25:03
right there with those that chip disappearing off
2:25:06
the face of the earth except in my
2:25:08
collection i uh who is has to be
2:25:12
responsible for their downfall yeah just getting into
2:25:16
ai in general now they're they're dead that's
2:25:18
right this is the future for all ai
2:25:20
companies and by the way i'm surprised you
2:25:24
didn't tell sir anonymous to get a blog

2:31:11
dame lisa she came in with 333.33
2:31:14
she's in foxborough massachusetts nuts dear john and
2:31:18
adam i'm closing my annual donation plus a
2:31:21
bit more as a mea culpa before the
2:31:24
election adam's exact words were don't worry people
2:31:27
no one is going to vote for that
2:31:29
woman that's correct i remember saying it i
2:31:36
wanted to believe but couldn't i'll never doubt
2:31:39
you again adam never doubt you again regarding
2:31:43
john's tip of the day on olive oil
2:31:46
i wonder if you're aware that the olive
2:31:48
tree blight in italy is going on i
2:31:50
was recently in puglia yes and we learned
2:31:54
and saw that a bacteria has killed 75
2:31:58
of their trees hmm all the trees last
2:32:03
forever yeah that's hundreds of years old and
2:32:06
then they're dropping dead because some bacteria willow
2:32:09
told me about this it was bad it's
2:32:11
ignored too long and now they're decimated well
2:32:14
it's more than decimated i'm not it's not
2:32:17
contained or controlled and is traveling northward in
2:32:20
italy well that's not good thanks for all
2:32:23
your news and humor your podcasts have made
2:32:25
my dog walks much more entertaining dame lisa
2:32:30
of amic lake we move to john stewart
2:32:34
not that john stewart this is the john
2:32:37
stewart from bernie texas right down the road
2:32:39
333 dot 33 says hey adam and john
2:32:43
please deduce you've been deduced i'm a longtime
2:32:48
listener and sorry to say a first-time
2:32:50
donor i was hit in the mouth in
2:32:51
2020 by my buddies john m in minnesota
2:32:53
and john j in nebraska we are collectively
2:32:56
known as known as the johns and i
2:32:59
would like to call the other two out
2:33:00
as douchebags during covid i was expressing my
2:33:04
frustration from what i perceived were bloated numbers
2:33:06
of those dying with not of covid the
2:33:09
testing numbers the disappearance of the flu the
2:33:11
lockdowns insistence on mass social distancing the origin
2:33:15
story propaganda rushing of a vaccine etc etc
2:33:17
the johns directed me to no agenda and
2:33:21
i realized there was an awesome community of
2:33:22
people here that were not buying the insanity
2:33:25
either finding no agenda was a godsend and
2:33:28
i along with my smoking hot wife jill
2:33:30
have been listeners ever since now i am
2:33:33
happy to say that i'm an executive producer
2:33:35
of the best podcast in the universe and
2:33:37
on my way to fast tracking my knighthood
2:33:39
time to build up my imdb adam when
2:33:42
you found jesus i smiled i run faith
2:33:45
and family streaming company called faith channel oh
2:33:47

2:34:57
50 shades of gray it's true it's a
2:35:00
fact thank you both for all you do

2:35:38
best thank you yeah a question for adam
2:35:41
a lot of people asking us questions in
2:35:42
these notes a question for adam after your
2:35:46
recent appearance on joe rogan i went back
2:35:48
and listened to your episode from five years
2:35:50
ago one thing stood out to me which
2:35:52
is also why i donated my husband struggles
2:35:54
with several with severe tinnitus tinnitus actually is
2:35:58
the correct pronunciation well everyone pronounces it tinnitus
2:36:02
tinnitus i'm just telling you well i'm pronouncing
2:36:06
it tinnitus okay but tinnitus tinnitus it's harder
2:36:10
to say actually and like you mentioned with
2:36:13
your wife often asks people to repeat themselves
2:36:16
hello you talked highly about these advanced hearing
2:36:21
aids and that could be tuned into specific
2:36:25
voices which sounded extremely helpful as we are
2:36:28
aware it doesn't fix tinnitus we're looking into
2:36:33
that as a laughter we're looking into that
2:36:35
option for him for better his hearing to
2:36:38
better his hearing but i couldn't find that
2:36:41
brand on the show notes not sure if
2:36:44
you're allowed to share what but any info
2:36:48

2:47:04
people in the mouth so
2:47:21
i have a wtf clip that i'd like
2:47:24
you to see if you can spot the
2:47:25
anomaly in this ntd clip about the new
2:47:29
york city tariff you know they have these
2:47:31
tolls i'm sorry tolls you know within the
2:47:33
city is congestion rules yeah it's not a
2:47:35
toll but it's a congestion air yeah congestion
2:47:38
fee i guess fee yeah well tell me
2:47:40
if you can find the the discrepancy in
2:47:43
this uh like what's wrong with this picture
2:47:46
nyc tolls do you want me to stop
2:47:47
it when i hear it or just let
2:47:49
it roll it's not that long the transportation
2:47:51
department under president trump has revoked its approval
2:47:55
of new york city's congestion toll it charges
2:47:58
drivers entering manhattan below 60th street here's how
2:48:01
new york governor kathy hokal responded in case
2:48:04
you don't know new yorkers we're in a
2:48:06
fight we do not back down not now
2:48:09
not ever i don't care if you love
2:48:12
congestion pricing or hate it this is an
2:48:15
attack on our sovereign identity our independence from
2:48:19
washington the department of transportation gave approval to
2:48:23
the program under the biden administration in late
2:48:25
2024 the trump administration says it's terminating the
2:48:29
program for two reasons one the congestion toll
2:48:32
provides no toll free option for drivers and
2:48:36
two the toll aims to raise revenue for
2:48:38
public transit rather than reduce congestion transportation secretary
2:48:42
sean doffy said in a statement quote new
2:48:44
york state's congestion pricing plan is a slap
2:48:47
in the face to working class americans and
2:48:50
small business owners it impedes the flow of
2:48:52
commerce into new york by increasing costs for
2:48:55
trucks which in turn could make goods more
2:48:58
expensive for consumers trump commented on the termination
2:49:02
quote congestion pricing is dead manhattan and all
2:49:05
of new york is saved new york's transit
2:49:08
and bridge authorities immediately filed a lawsuit challenging
2:49:11
the decision they accused the trump administration of
2:49:14
targeting the congestion toll for quote blatantly political
2:49:18
reasons okay um so first of all i
2:49:23
i would say that the um that the
2:49:26
sovereign identity from washington dc was kind of
2:49:29
weird but i think the all entry into
2:49:33
manhattan below 60th street isn't that all entry
2:49:36
into manhattan below 60th street well a lot
2:49:39
of it there's some up north you can
2:49:41
get in the the discrepancy in this report
2:49:45
is the following why did they send it
2:49:48
to the department of transportation under biden for
2:49:52
approval in the first place when trump just
2:49:56
reversed the approval how come it wasn't a
2:49:59
problem with their their sovereignty back when they
2:50:02
gave it to the biden administration to approve
2:50:05
it in the first place now that it's
2:50:07
disapproved oh all of a sudden it's a
2:50:09
big stink probably because they were getting some
2:50:12
of that sweet green money for doing it
2:50:14
yeah there was something that's what i'm thinking
2:50:18
hmm uh two quickies for you the first
2:50:21
one is uh looks like it's the end
2:50:25
of an era john pig butchering is coming
2:50:28
to an end now thailand is cracking down
2:50:31
on cyber scam networks run from labor camps
2:50:34
across its border with myanmar officials have arrested
2:50:38
suspected ring leaders and tried cutting power to
2:50:41
the compounds where thousands of people are made
2:50:44
to work and live this video shows some
2:50:47
of the foreigners being freed after having been
2:50:50
trafficked to the facilities in myanmar in the
2:50:53
camps they were allegedly forced and sometimes tortured
2:50:56
into targeting victims of online fraud around the
2:50:59
world the united nations says hundreds of thousands
2:51:02
of people have been lured to work in
2:51:05
compounds like this across southeast asia the gambling
2:51:08
town of shwe koko is one of the
2:51:11
sites that was recently raided you know the
2:51:14
thing is they showed the video of these
2:51:15
uh of these prisoners who were there they
2:51:18
had released not a single one of them
2:51:21
was a hot asian chick but i think
2:51:23
they they got the wrong camp makes no
2:51:27
sense yeah that's it um i had to
2:51:31
find a clip where they mentioned the fbi
2:51:33
so i could coin this right on time
2:51:35
exactly on schedule just before cash patel gets
2:51:39
in the fbi's six-week cycle yeah this
2:51:43
was a joint investigation involving the fbi the
2:51:45
montgomery county sheriff's office and the spring branch
2:51:48
isd police department i'm told the idea was
2:51:51
to place pipe bombs throughout memorial high school
2:51:54
and use guns to shoot at students to
2:51:56
plan in its early stages but multiple law
2:51:59
enforcement agencies told me the threat was credible
2:52:02
enough that they acted quickly within 30 minutes
2:52:04
of becoming aware of this plan they arrested
2:52:07
a 15 and 16 year old teenager girl
2:52:10
now spring branch isd police chief larry bainbridge
2:52:13
says they become aware of the threat yesterday
2:52:15
thanks to a source bainbridge says they arrested
2:52:18
a 16 year old girl she has since
2:52:20
been charged with third degree felony terroristic threat
2:52:22
charges we're told that student was a 10th
2:52:25
grader assigned to memorial high school but was
2:52:27
attending a separate school in the district that
2:52:29
is designed to help students that fall behind
2:52:32
the 15 year old student that was arrested
2:52:34
is in custody with the montgomery county sheriff's
2:52:37
office we are awaiting more details on her
2:52:39
but have not been told that she has
2:52:41
been charged yet and she was not a
2:52:43
spring branch isd student we have also reached
2:52:46
out to spring branch isd to the district
2:52:48
to find out if they have notified parents
2:52:51
and staff we spoke to a few students
2:52:54
and parents that were here as school let
2:52:56
out none of them were aware of this
2:52:59
situation we'll of course continue to ask questions
2:53:02
and keep you posted we're live in the
2:53:03
spring branch area bill barajas kprc 2 news
2:53:06
that was houston houston this morning actually i'm
2:53:10
sorry what houston it was in houston this
2:53:12
morning it happened this morning like a great
2:53:17
what was 15 16 year old girl with
2:53:19
a grand scheme to set up pipe bombs
2:53:22
all over the place and start shooting kids
2:53:23
yeah yeah that's yeah it makes sense logical
2:53:26
these damn 15 year olds are all that
2:53:28
way i wonder what ssris they were taking
2:53:34
uh oh how about this how about the
2:53:40
i got it one talk clip talk i
2:53:41
knew it i knew i knew he was
2:53:43
going to come in with the talk i
2:53:44
knew it somehow i knew it here wait
2:53:47
yeah yeah here's a woman there's a woman
2:53:51
who's divorcing her husband now first of all
2:53:54
this woman looks like she's 17 she might
2:53:58
be 20 but she's married and she's divorcing
2:54:02
her husband over an incident that happened at
2:54:05
the super bowl and she's fed up with
2:54:08
this guy because he booed taylor swift i'm
2:54:10
divorcing my husband because he booed taylor swift
2:54:12
at the super bowl and i still don't
2:54:13
think he believes me to be honest but
2:54:15
he might want to start because i just
2:54:17
followed my paperwork at the courthouse and you
2:54:18
can see right here the date of separation
2:54:20
is this year's super bowl i'm not just
2:54:22
doing this because of the action of booing
2:54:24
i am doing this because of everything that
2:54:26
it represents in our relationship i have loved
2:54:28
taylor allison swift since i was 12 years
2:54:31
old my husband even likes her too like
2:54:33
he'll put on her music when we're cooking
2:54:34
together he has a favorite song it's girl
2:54:36
at home but we were at the super
2:54:37
bowl it was me him and five of
2:54:39
his buddies and when they put taylor up
2:54:41
on the jumbotron all of his buddies started
2:54:42
booing and my husband joined in and that
2:54:45
just tells me everything i need to know
2:54:46
about that man because he didn't care that
2:54:48
that would hurt my feelings he just wanted
2:54:51
to fit in with his boys he didn't
2:54:52
even care that that's not even how he
2:54:54
actually feels he just like wanted to look
2:54:56
cool i guess and and that's not a
2:54:58
man that's a boy and and when you
2:55:00
see that see that you can't really unsee
2:55:03
it so i'm divorcing him thankfully i have
2:55:06
a prenup i'll be retaining all my assets
2:55:07
as well as the assets that i inherited
2:55:09
with peace and love he probably will not
2:55:10
be returning to the super bowl anytime soon
2:55:12
so that's one less boomer for you taylor
2:55:14
i love you he should divorce her for
2:55:18
the uptalking to be quite quite well he
2:55:21
dodged a bullet the way i see it
2:55:23
yeah no kidding oh might as might as
2:55:27
touch network just released another episode they probably
2:55:31
released two during the show uh actually yes
2:55:34
they released one two hours ago and three
2:55:37
hours ago titles bark like a dog mike
2:55:40
morning collapse and take it to the streets
2:55:43
the the the mightest mightest touch man those
2:55:46
guys yeah they're packing them in they're on
2:55:48
fire i tell you um the everlasting uh
2:55:54
bird flu continues to uh hurt everybody and
2:55:59
we are now resorting to lucy eggs the
2:56:04
white house is working on a plan to
2:56:06
control the bird flu as egg prices soar
2:56:08
to record levels they expect to present it
2:56:11
to president trump in the coming days the
2:56:13
average cost for a dozen of eggs has
2:56:15
jumped to four dollars and 95 cents that's
2:56:18
50 percent more than a year ago and
2:56:21
prices are expected to increase by another 20
2:56:23
a trump official slammed the biden administration's response
2:56:27
to the outbreak the biden plan was to
2:56:31
just you know kill chickens uh and they
2:56:34
spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens
2:56:36
within a perimeter where they found a sick
2:56:39
chicken some new york city stores are selling
2:56:43
eggs in bundles of three they're calling them
2:56:45
lucy eggs similar to how they sell lucy
2:56:48
cigarettes oh man hey wow i guess what
2:56:53
three eggs cost in new york i don't
2:56:55
know probably three bucks probably 10 bucks oh
2:56:58
yeah 10 bucks for the three is mimi
2:57:02
not worried about her uh chickens catching the
2:57:04
bird flu she hasn't got any chickens i
2:57:06
thought she had chickens but she wrote a
2:57:08
whole book about having chickens yeah that's because
2:57:10
she got fed up with chickens it's too
2:57:12
bad she doesn't have chickens because after the
2:57:14
port angeles podcast studio she could have had
2:57:17
port angeles rent a chicken yes the rent
2:57:21
of chickens are not a bad idea it's
2:57:22
happening people are renting their chickens out i
2:57:25
know they're doing virtually you don't even have
2:57:27
to have the chicken at the house oh
2:57:30
that's interesting yes virtual rental so when the
2:57:34
chicken lays an egg most chickens backyard chickens
2:57:37
lay about one egg every day and a
2:57:38
half oh that's how it works that's a
2:57:41
great idea yeah and then you go pick
2:57:43
up you go to the guys get the
2:57:45
chickens you say what did what did old
2:57:46
lucy lay this last week and you know
2:57:48
it was raining a lot like for example
2:57:50
jay has a bunch of chickens yeah and
2:57:53
when it rains a lot the chickens don't
2:57:54
do anything they just sit around grousing then
2:57:59
they start laying again grousing do they go
2:58:02
like this yeah they go exactly like that
2:58:07
that's what they do oh yeah i gotta
2:58:09
lay that's a great idea if you have
2:58:12
chickens you should be doing rent a chicken
2:58:14
you get a webcam or a body cam
2:58:16
a chicken cam chicken cam you can watch
2:58:19
the chicken every time it lays an egg
2:58:21
that egg now belongs to you that's a
2:58:23
great idea american ingenuity american ingenuity uh we're
2:58:28
the best we are never ceases to amaze
2:58:30
go murica all right well i got a
2:58:35
couple of the sad stories of the dead

to be released saturday as part of israel's
2:59:23
ceasefire with hamas all right very very sad
2:59:29
that was you know it's just like a
2:59:31
dumb this is why they haven't all hell
2:59:33
hasn't broken loose because i think they're all
2:59:34
arrested the hostages are all dead but here's
2:59:37
the sad hostage story this is one of
2:59:39
the dead hostages and if you listen carefully
2:59:41
to the story this was a a person
2:59:44
that was a dad now that with his
2:59:47
wife they were kind of palestinian sympathizers i
2:59:51
i the whole story doesn't make any sense
2:59:53
unless the palestinians are just ogres the hamas
2:59:56
terrorist group provided the name of one of
2:59:58
the deceased hostages said to be released on
3:00:01
thursday his name is odette lefshitz he and
3:00:05
his wife were peace activists and regularly transported
3:00:08
patients from gaza to receive medical treatment in
3:00:11
hospitals in israel however they were both taken
3:00:15
hostage during the october 7th terrorist attack his
3:00:18
wife was released during the first ceasefire in
3:00:21
october 2023 she said this soon after she
3:00:24
was released from hamas captivity i thank you
3:00:29
for coming to hear my tragedy and that
3:00:31
of all my friends it was hard and
3:00:34
i hope we get through it their children
3:00:36
previously shared their thoughts on the tragic situation
3:00:39
before finding out that their father had died
3:00:42
in hamas captivity my father and my mother
3:00:45
kidnapped on the 7th of october my mother
3:00:48
released my father still inside yeah all right
3:00:55
it's baffling to me why these guys are
3:00:58
back and forth and back and forth they're
3:00:59
known to the palestinians why would they be
3:01:01
all of a sudden hostages it just makes
3:01:04
no sense i don't know all right i'm
3:01:06
gonna lighten the mood a little yeah bring
3:01:09
it up a notch singer cheryl crow is
3:01:11
getting rid of her tesla the singer songwriter
3:01:13
posting a video to instagram waving goodbye to
3:01:16
her tesla as it's taken away on a
3:01:18
flatbed in the post she says she's protesting
3:01:20
against elon musk's recent work with the trump
3:01:23
administration the money she's making by selling that
3:01:26
tesla she says she'll be donating it to
3:01:28
npr crow has been a long-time advocate
3:01:31
for environmental causes donating it to npr well
3:01:35
that's a waste analysts look at this picture
3:01:38
said that it was the tesla being taken
3:01:40
in for service based on the fact that
3:01:42
the tree was just turning autumn colors oh
3:01:45
really so that was an old very old
3:01:47
video it's an old video that she decided
3:01:49
to post as though she's giving away the
3:01:51
tesla to give the money to npr at
3:01:54
least that that's one analysis but you know
3:01:56
i was looking at this kennedy center protest
3:01:59
um you heard you know you heard about
3:02:03
this so it's actually the president does have
3:02:06
the right under actual law to uh dismiss
3:02:10
the entire board of the kennedy center and
3:02:12
then he put what he did put in
3:02:14
a new board and then the board of
3:02:16
course elected him as chairman of the board
3:02:18
and he said yeah okay that's great we're
3:02:21
gonna make the kennedy center great again no
3:02:23
more um drag shows and no more lgbtq
3:02:27
and what i noticed and you'll hear it
3:02:29
in this clip is that a lot of
3:02:32
including the was it milwaukee that had all
3:02:35
the that had the the the trans people
3:02:38
show up at the city council meeting i
3:02:40
think it was milwaukee wasn't it are you
3:02:43
talking about the one where they had the
3:02:44
blue-haired girl and all the rest of
3:02:45
you know that was uh that was uh
3:02:48
wooster massachusetts massachusetts um i've noticed that a
3:02:53
lot of the people complaining including because i
3:02:56
looked at that whole video went back and
3:02:57
looked again these are all drag performers they're
3:03:01
all performers and and and everyone who showed
3:03:05
up at this half mile walk protest they're
3:03:09
all drag show performers so you know yeah
3:03:13
no wonder they're upset about lgbtq whatever because
3:03:18
they're they have to find other lines of
3:03:20
work the drag drag time story hour all
3:03:24
that was it was a good gig yes
3:03:27
phoebe i yes i know it's i can't
3:03:29
help but it's blue hair tonight this group
3:03:31
walked half a mile from washington circle right
3:03:34
here to the kennedy center their message they're
3:03:37
not going anywhere armed with passion and bubbles
3:03:42
and a strong message for the president members
3:03:45
and allies of the lgbtq plus community made
3:03:47
their way from washington circle thursday night pausing
3:03:50
of course for much needed dance breaks before
3:03:55
arriving at the kennedy center loud and proud
3:03:58
we're here because donald trump in typical trump
3:04:01
fashion has done some shady maneuvering to get
3:04:05
rid of the board at the kennedy center
3:04:06
and essentially install himself as dictator of the
3:04:09
arts president trump has said moving forward drag
3:04:11
shows will be a no-go at the
3:04:13
kennedy center we're not gonna let people steal
3:04:15
our joy tara hoot a popular drag queen
3:04:18
in the district believes she should be board
3:04:20
president i think why not me i'm the
3:04:22
people's princess darlings and the kennedy center is
3:04:25
a place for everyone thursday night she and
3:04:26
others voiced their frustrations with the way the
3:04:28
president has portrayed this community the kennedy center
3:04:34
has always been a home for everybody and
3:04:36
now it won't be and i you know
3:04:39
i hope there's somebody who will listen to
3:04:41
us and try and stop it they say
3:04:43
they wish the president would be more understanding
3:04:45
i wish he understood that we are more
3:04:48
than what he tries to make us be
3:04:49
that at the end of the day we
3:04:51
are not any sexual beings that drag is
3:04:54
for everyone and drag is love and that's
3:04:56
what we're here to drag until then they're
3:04:58
standing strong on their message we will survive
3:05:00
him that's what i would tell him that
3:05:02
we're not going anywhere um and that we're
3:05:04
not going back in the closet it doesn't
3:05:06
end here this is just the beginning darling
3:05:07
i mean it's not even been a month
3:05:08
we're all just trying to get our sea
3:05:09
legs and see what's up and where we're
3:05:11
going and the vision is clear we're here
3:05:13
to rise up and say no more i
3:05:15
truly believe that a lot of these people
3:05:17
showing up at city council meetings and protesting
3:05:20
everywhere they're worried about their vocation more than
3:05:25
anything it's it was really eye-opening because
3:05:29
all the you know the the blue-haired
3:05:30
girl the uh the the one with the
3:05:35
with the glitter for a beard all all
3:05:37
performers i don't know if they were all
3:05:42
performers yeah i think a lot of them
3:05:44
are and then there's definitely more than one
3:05:48
here's my final story this is from the
3:05:50
trans maoism files i finally found a story
3:05:53
short enough and concise enough and it is
3:05:57
a bit of an eye opener this is
3:05:58
about the zizians have you been tracking this
3:06:01
story people keep emailing all the murderers yeah
3:06:03
the zizians yeah yeah i have actually but
3:06:07
i haven't gotten any clips from here it
3:06:08
is finally we have a no agenda worthy
3:06:10
zizians clip jack lasoda who identifies as a
3:06:14
woman michelle zyko and daniel blank they face
3:06:17
trespassing and handgun charges here in maryland all
3:06:20
three were arrested sunday in frostburg now on
3:06:23
sunday a person reported to police that three
3:06:25
suspicious people parked their box trucks on his
3:06:28
property they asked to camp there for a
3:06:31
month that's how deputies managed to arrest him
3:06:33
now lasoda whose middle name is ziz is
3:06:36
believed to be the leader of what you
3:06:37
called there the zizian cult today lasoda told
3:06:40
the judge that she quote has done nothing
3:06:42
wrong it has to be released prosecutors say
3:06:44
lasoda has faked her own death in the
3:06:46
past police in other states say that she
3:06:49
may have been involved in the stabbing of
3:06:51
her landlord and the murder of her parents
3:06:54
today the judge deemed her a flight risk
3:06:57
and denied bail now the cults believed to
3:06:59
be connected to two california murders most recently
3:07:02
the groups believed to be behind the murder
3:07:04
of a border patrol agent in vermont and
3:07:06
the cult is formed from followers of lasoda's
3:07:10
blog it's consisting of mostly transgender tech workers
3:07:14
who subscribe to what's called radical veganism it's
3:07:18
a philosophy of so-called rationalism and a
3:07:22
fear of a quote singularity this is the
3:07:24
idea that one day ai may advance to
3:07:27
the point where it turns on humans this
3:07:31
is an outgrowth of all those those anti
3:07:34
-ai people that would include you no what
3:07:40
was it called again the um why can't
3:07:44
i remember the name now yeah oh i
3:07:48
don't remember it at all that's where a
3:07:50
lot of those open ai people came from
3:07:52
yeah open ai guys they were part of
3:07:54
a cult and still are yeah and and
3:07:56
so clearly somebody in the in the troll
3:08:01
room should have come up with it by
3:08:02
now they should no they haven't which is
3:08:04
very disappointing um uh uh not altruism not

3:19:19
and me just the tip with jcb and
3:19:24
sometimes adam created by dana brunetti okay today's
3:19:30
tip is rtv silicon rtv silicone okay rtv
3:19:36
silicone it's an interesting product uh mimi used
3:19:40
here's a here's how it came about this
3:19:42
discovery this is rtv silicone is a room
3:19:46
temperature vulcanizing silicone it vulcanizes at room temperature
3:19:50
you have to wait days and days and
3:19:52
days for it to do it but it
3:19:54
doesn't here's what happened we everybody seems in
3:19:57
this family seems to use the blend tech
3:20:00
blenders the blend tech blenders are done by
3:20:04
that very expensive will it blend was their
3:20:07
tagline they have will it blend guys yeah
3:20:09
so these blenders which have like 20 30
3:20:12
horse i don't know what the horsepower is
3:20:14
but they'll grind up anything and uh mimi
3:20:21
has one she picked it up used from
3:20:22
somebody and uh the problem is with the
3:20:26
way this the engineering on these things requires
3:20:29
that the container the grinding container has the
3:20:33
all the mechanism inside and it has a
3:20:36
gasket that went out and so she she
3:20:41
tried the vulcanizing silicone uh to fix it
3:20:45
and it turns out to work and then
3:20:47
she used the vulcanizing silicone to fix them
3:20:50
patch some holes and various things and it
3:20:53
works like a champ now the brand she's
3:20:56
using is is uh what's the name now
3:21:00
now could you use so can you give
3:21:02
me some other examples of uses besides a
3:21:04
900 blender uh so you have a leaky
3:21:11
hose a leaky hose anything that that you
3:21:16
could use that could use vulcanized you know
3:21:19
that guy that comes on tv and he
3:21:20
slaps them say slap it on the boat
3:21:23
you know slap it on a you know
3:21:25

3:21:28
the trolls think i said leaky hose no
3:21:30
no leaky hose a leaky hose yeah well
3:21:35
that's different yeah this won't work on them
3:21:37

3:21:44
whoa american sealants and yay they have it
3:21:47
on amazon they have a hole in your
3:21:49
boat with it do you think i think
3:21:51

Allow me to sum up this week's news.
3:26:05
Guess who's back?
3:26:06
Hitler is back!
3:26:07
Hitler!
3:26:08
Hitler is back, everybody!
3:26:10
How dare you!
3:26:12
Let me take you back to 1939.
3:26:14
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
3:26:16
Yes, I do.
3:26:17
Hitler is back.
3:26:18
21% of Gen Z Americans think Adolf
3:26:22
Hitler had some good ideas.
3:26:24
Actual American Nazis.
3:26:26
It's a Nazi.
3:26:27
Nazi rally.
3:26:28
How dare you!
3:26:30
Has Donald Trump said he would terminate the
3:26:31
constitution of the United States?
3:26:33
Out!
3:26:33
Out!
3:26:34
Out!
3:26:34
Praising Adolf Hitler, saying Adolf Hitler did some
3:26:37
good things.
3:26:38
Certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.
3:26:42
It's perfect.
3:26:43
To celebrate the rise of Nazism.
3:26:45
That Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler.
3:26:48
Back home to mommy, she goes back home
3:26:50
to mommy.
3:26:51
How is that casting aspersions?
3:26:53
This is next level QAnon stuff?
3:26:56
They'll say, you know, Trump's supporters have set
3:26:58
off a dirty bomb in Philadelphia.
3:27:00
They're counting on us to help him win.
3:27:02
They're counting on us to propagate their clips.
3:27:04
Vowed to be a dictator on day one.
3:27:07
Someone needs to calm her down.
3:27:09
Hitler did not do some good things.
3:27:11
Now, okay, you can stop it there.
3:27:14
Since election day, Musk has become $138 billion
3:27:20
richer.
3:27:22
Trust me.
3:27:23
I now recognize the gentleman from Texas, Mr.
3:27:26
Kassar.
3:27:27
60% of Americans, the paycheck to paycheck.
3:27:32
Trust me.
3:27:37
Oligarchs give a damn.
3:27:39
$8 million a day.
3:27:44
Outrageous.
3:27:45
He was fired.
3:27:46
How much money a day Mr. Musk will
3:27:50
receive from the federal government?
3:27:52
More and more power.
3:27:57
Do you know what the Trump-Musk administration
3:27:59
did?
3:27:59
Fewer and fewer hands.
3:28:02
The Department of Defense's inspector general was looking
3:28:04
into SpaceX.
3:28:07
They're not looking at big tech.
3:28:09
They're not looking at big pharma because those
3:28:10
people fund their campaigns.
3:28:14
And that is a government of the billionaire
3:28:16
class, by the billionaire class, for the billionaire
3:28:22
class.
3:28:24
He was fired.
