0:15
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
0:17
Texas Hill Country Here in FEMA Region Number
0:20
6 In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry
0:23
And from Northern Silicon Valley where we've noticed
0:26
They're bombing Ukraine The Russians are bombing Ukraine
0:30
And John C.
0:30
Dvorak It's crackpot and buzzkill In the morning
0:35
Yes, they're bombing Ukraine And, more importantly It's
0:41
that time of year again, John Oh, okay
0:47
It's Ford Truck Month Ford Truck...
0:51
Oh, I thought it was Toyota-thon No,
0:53
it's Ford Truck Month Every single podcast I
0:57
listen to Except for ours, of course They
1:00
all interrupt three times during the show And
1:05
if it's not the wellness company It's Ford
1:09
Truck Month I don't believe I just don't
1:13
believe that the people who listen to Pivot
1:15
Buy trucks They're not Ford truck drivers Those
1:20
people that listen to Pivot Subaru, maybe Yeah,
1:24
that is...
1:26
When did that become, like, the lesbian car?
1:31
That was...
1:32
Did we play a clip of the guy
1:33
who explained it?
1:34
Oh, I'm trying to think if we did
1:35
Was it a marketing thing?
1:38
It was a marketing guy The guy said,
1:39
you know He just had this sense that
1:43
there's some woman's thing that was going on
1:44
He said, you know, I think if we
1:46
push the car into this direction It would
1:48
be a big hit I'm looking, I can't
1:51
find it I have to revisit this marketing
1:55
trick But yeah, it all of a sudden
1:57
became the lesbian car Is it still successful,
2:01
though?
2:01
Is the Subaru still a big seller?
2:04
Is it still a thing?
2:04
Oh, yeah, they do very well It's a
2:06
good car The thing that makes the car...
2:08
It's, like, got the safety features of a
2:11
Volvo So they're very...
2:12
It's a good car to drive A good
2:14
family car That, for me, is the quintessential
2:16
lesbian car The Volvo Come on, obviously It's
2:22
up there Yeah, I had a Volvo One
2:25
of my first cars was a Volvo I
2:29
told you the Volvo...
2:30
I took a tour of the factory In
2:33
Sweden?
2:34
Yeah Oh, do tell I did not know
2:37
about this Yeah, it was great Because they
2:40
also gave us a tour on the track
2:41
They let us race around on the track
2:43
Wow Oh, you'd be surprised This is when
2:47
I first drove those new diesels The ones
2:50
that turned out to be, like, you know
2:51
Kind of sketchy in terms of the way
2:53
they polluted Was that the...
2:57
I thought that was the Volkswagen, wasn't it?
2:59
The Volkswagen Yeah, I drove...
3:01
I know, the Volkswagen had the reputation But
3:03
this is the same product Because these things
3:06
went...
3:06
This diesel...
3:08
Because I've driven diesels A diesel that goes
3:10
like a bat out of hell Something's up
3:16
I remember...
3:17
So my first car...
3:18
No, my...
3:18
Yes, my first car was the Volvo 142
3:21
Which was the size of a tank with
3:24
a lawnmower engine And I was always jealous
3:28
Because a buddy of mine had the 144
3:30
with the overdrive feature It had a little
3:32
button on the top And it was overdrive...
3:34
Whatever that meant But then later As a
3:39
payoff Whatever that meant I don't know what
3:41
that means Later, as a payoff...
3:45
It has to do with sports ball No
3:46
No, later as a...
3:48
It's a guy's thing Yeah Later as a
3:50
payoff for...
3:52
Kind of like one of those old...
3:54
You know, the black musicians in rock'n
3:56
'roll in the 50s They weren't allowed to
3:59
pay me to drink milk on TV So
4:01
they gave me a car instead It's a
4:03
long story It has to do with commercial
4:07
interests on public broadcast And they gave me
4:11
a Volvo 480 ES Have you ever seen
4:17
that car?
4:18
No, I can look it up Yeah, you
4:20
should take a look It had flip-up
4:22
lights It's not that cute little sportsy looking
4:25
thing Yeah, yeah Well, I don't know if
4:27
it was cute looking The front end was
4:28
kind of cute looking It was sportsy But
4:32
the thing was There was something...
4:34
Because it was one of the first ones
4:35
in Europe And I remember...
4:37
Because I was a smoker then, of course
4:39
It was Volvo, what?
4:41
480?
4:41
480 ES EF?
4:44
ES That's Eco Sierra Oh, yes And there
4:49
was something...
4:49
They had treated the steering wheel and the
4:51
interior With some kind of new plastic And
4:55
if you...
4:55
And so if you were driving And if
4:56
you for any reason Put your fingers near
4:59
your mouth Which you would do as a
5:00
smoker It was like this acidic burn That
5:05
would just go into your mouth And you
5:06
couldn't get rid of it It was a
5:08
poisonous vehicle, I tell you Maybe I see
5:12
it, yeah That's cute Anyway, enough about cars
5:17
Because it's Ford Truck Month And also It's
5:21
time for a whiplash A whiplash in trade
5:24
policy Here at the White House Has sent
5:26
the stock market reeling This whiplash triggered another
5:29
sell-off On Wall Street, the Dow, Nasdaq,
5:31
and S&P All to...
5:33
We start with that news market sell-off
5:36
The reason?
5:37
More whiplash from President Trump Over tariffs A
5:40
full week of whiplash Over President Trump's On
5:44
-again, off-again tariff strategy Whiplash President Trump's
5:48
on-again, off-again tariffs On Canadian and
5:51
Mexican imports Is off again It feels like
5:54
whiplash by the White House Has many people
5:55
wondering what's next Many experts say this constant
5:58
whiplash By the White House Has many people
6:01
wondering What will happen next The fast action
6:04
from the new Trump administration Has also led
6:06
to some neck-breaking whiplash Joe, a lot
6:09
of whiplash to go around Happy Friday Well,
6:13
a lot of whiplash There you go, a
6:16
lot of whiplash Sounds like it People are
6:19
complaining that I'm over-modulating Why is this?
6:21
Yeah, you're breaking up Am I breaking up
6:24
on YouTube?
6:25
Yeah Well, it's during the clip The thing
6:28
would just go off the rails And it
6:31
would just be distorted Really?
6:33
I'm not sure why that is Okay, well
6:37
I thought it was just local here But
6:39
I guess not No Well, the experts in
6:41
the troll room They know exactly what's going
6:43
on 1-2, 1-2 No, it seems
6:45
okay That's just That's all your gear, man
6:48
It's nothing to do with me So, yes
6:51
Whiplash on the tariffs This is the big
6:53
thing No one understands it What's going on
6:55
The markets are upset The markets are crashing
6:57
Markets are crashing, John Markets are crashing Have
7:00
you heard the markets are crashing?
7:01
It's crashing I heard this And I heard
7:02
there's whiplash Yeah, whiplash Because we are in
7:05
the fog of trade war The fog of
7:08
trade war Good evening, I'm John Dickerson I'm
7:11
Maurice DuBois The financial markets were rattled today
7:13
Oh, by the way, stop, stop So, they
7:15
fired Nora from CBS Yes News deconstruction is
7:19
what we should be talking about Yes, yes
7:21
So, they got rid of her And they
7:23
put her on Of course, they never fire
7:24
anybody They put you on special assignment Yeah,
7:27
and you get to do long-form programming
7:30
Yeah, and then you're done So, they put
7:34
in John Dickerson Who's good enough, you know
7:37
On his slow-talking morning shows And this
7:41
other guy And it's like a Huntley-Brinkley
7:44
report They're trying to bring back Huntley and
7:47
Brinkley From the 60s and 70s Which was
7:50
on NBC, not CBS, of course But they're
7:53
trying to put this team up It stinks
7:57
And the two guys don't have any rapport
8:00
Almost as though they're competing with each other
8:02
Figuring one of them is going to get
8:03
the other guy out of there And he's
8:05
going to take over I'm on the brink,
8:07
honey Once I get that guy out of
8:09
here It'll be all me It'll be all
8:10
me So, this is the worst And the
8:13
Multiculti guy Will probably win if they're going
8:18
to do that Because Dickerson seems nervous He
8:20
doesn't seem comfortable He's not doing a very
8:24
good job The way they've staged it stinks
8:30
And not only that, but they're a mile
8:31
apart It's just terrible It's terrible It's worse
8:35
than Nora All the more reason to go
8:37
back to the clip The fog of trade
8:39
war Good evening, I'm John Dickerson I'm Maurice
8:42
Dubois The financial markets were rattled today By
8:45
the Commander-in-Chief and General Confusion Conflicting
8:49
signals from the President Is that a new
8:51
guy?
8:51
General Confusion?
8:53
Is that a new guy?
8:54
I never heard of him I don't know
8:56
Oh yes, Maurice Dubois Otherwise known as General
9:02
Confusion There you go Conflicting signals from the
9:06
President About his trade war Sent stock prices
9:09
tumbling The Dow lost a full percent The
9:11
Nasdaq more than two and a half What
9:14
happened to you?
9:15
What are you doing?
9:18
I'm moving stuff around Could you do it
9:22
not during the clips?
9:24
You know, just More than two and a
9:26
half President Trump granted more exemptions today To
9:29
his 25% tax on imports from Canada
9:32
and Mexico For one month Goods covered by
9:35
the USMCA trade agreement Will not be subject
9:38
to the tariffs He gave that same exemption
9:41
yesterday To Detroit's big three automakers This is
9:44
not the first time The President has threatened
9:47
or imposed tariffs And pulled back And the
9:50
uncertainty goes well beyond Wall Street Ed O
9:53
'Keefe is at a curling center In Toronto
9:57
What?
10:00
Ed O'Keefe, Canadian sports Are they talking
10:03
about curling?
10:03
Canadian sports?
10:04
Yes, he's at a curling center in Ontario
10:07
Which is where you get your boots on
10:09
the ground from Because when you think of
10:11
Canada What do you think of?
10:13
Well, I always think of curling The on
10:15
-again, off-again tariffs Are mostly off-again
10:18
Are they going to keep saying on-again,
10:19
off-again?
10:20
Yes, they do keep saying that actually Here
10:23
in Canada's largest province Which is warning of
10:26
economic pain For at least some Americans We
10:31
have to put an end to this This
10:32
is mass chaos Right now around North America
10:35
And actually around the world Doug Ford is
10:37
Premier of Ontario The hub of Canada's economy
10:40
And home to 40% of Canadians He
10:43
dismissed President Trump's pause on tariffs He said
10:47
that before And he switched his mind A
10:51
few days later, a week later So once
10:54
I touch a stove And I get burned
10:55
once I don't touch that stove again He
10:58
needs to drop all tariffs And if he
11:00
doesn't drop them for good Ford says Ontario
11:03
Which transmits electricity to the United States Will
11:06
put a 25% tariff On power sent
11:08
to Minnesota, Michigan and New York Starting Monday
11:11
Ford got into a heated phone conversation this
11:14
week With the U.S. Commerce Secretary And
11:16
has banned the sale of American-made spirits
11:18
In Ontario liquor stores So if I hear
11:21
you, you're turning off the lights And you're
11:22
running the bourbon dry In response to what
11:25
the United States is doing The last thing
11:26
I want to do is turn off the
11:28
lights I'll put a tariff But let's straighten
11:32
this out And to the American homeowner in
11:34
Minnesota Or New York Or somewhere else that
11:36
gets its power from electricity They're going to
11:38
see the electric bill in a month And
11:40
they're going to realize, whoa A lot more
11:42
expensive than it was And there's one person
11:45
to be blamed And that's President Trump Even
11:47
if the tariffs are temporarily off The anger
11:50
has hardly subsided At the private Royal Canadian
11:53
Curling Club Hold on a second Before we
11:55
get back to the curling club What is
11:58
Ford talking about?
11:59
He's going to jack up the prices?
12:03
That's not a tariff That's an increase in
12:05
price I know Just before you finish this
12:10
clip I have to mention something I've been
12:11
meaning to talk about For a month Oh,
12:15
please Ever since Trump got elected On Fox
12:20
A couple of the shows on Fox Have
12:23
had this running I should have recorded it,
12:26
I'm sure A running ad Promoting Ontario I've
12:30
never seen this before on television Interesting It's
12:34
an advertisement Ontario, your trading partner The greatest
12:38
place in the world We in Canada, blah
12:41
blah blah And it goes on It's a
12:42
60 second commercial And they play it all
12:45
the time on Fox And when I first
12:47
saw it I said, oh, something's going to
12:49
happen here There's something wrong Why is Ontario,
12:52
of all places, advertising On network television?
12:55
Right, right And by the way, for those
12:58
of you wondering No, no, no, this is
13:03
Doug Ford Not to be confused with Tom
13:07
Ford Or with Ford Truck Month Or with
13:11
Rob Ford This guy For months, Rob Ford,
13:14
the embattled mayor of Toronto Has been dogged
13:17
by allegations That he'd been caught on tape
13:20
Smoking crack And today, the mayor of Canada's
13:23
biggest city Came clean Have I tried it?
13:28
Probably in one of my drunken stupors Just
13:30
hours later He fell on the sword again
13:33
Admitting it Was the most difficult And embarrassing
13:40
thing I have ever Had to do That's
13:45
his brother Yeah, they're all I'm sure they
13:49
all party This guy here This joker Seems
13:53
the same guy to me Let's go back
13:58
But let's straighten this out And to the
14:01
American homeowner In Minnesota or New York Or
14:04
somewhere else that gets its power from electricity
14:06
They're going to see the electric bill in
14:07
a month And they're going to realize, whoa
14:09
A lot more expensive than it was And
14:12
there's one person to be blamed And that's
14:14
President Trump I was fighting words Oh
14:25
no This is one small thing that we
14:29
can do And Danielle Brown says Royal Canadian
14:31
anger isn't about the American people Just the
14:34
American president It's really just sad and a
14:37
shame That leadership is actually Maybe for positioning,
14:41
who knows why Trumping up These allegations That
14:46
we're maybe Not as good partners as we
14:49
actually are I have respect for the Canadians
14:53
There's a big movement We're only buying Canadian,
14:56
eh?
14:57
Which is good I think that's Most of
15:00
their wine is made in the bathroom Okanagan
15:05
Valley makes a good product That's for sure
15:07
But if you go to Canada All the
15:11
liquor stores are government controlled So they can
15:13
do this stuff Even though they already bought
15:14
the stuff But they're going to put it
15:16
back in the warehouse But they have these
15:19
shops Throughout Canada Where you can go in
15:22
there and buy home winemaking Gear And must
15:27
And grape juice and different kinds of things
15:29
And you make it at home And I
15:31
think a lot of Canadians Somebody from Canada
15:34
can call me out on this if I'm
15:35
wrong But it seemed pretty popular to me
15:38
That they had this Rig that you could
15:42
buy To make your own damn wine In
15:45
the toilet In the toilet, basically It's interesting
15:49
because I asked Canadians To send us some
15:53
boots on the ground And some thoughts about
15:55
everything And it varies I got some good
15:59
reports too Maybe we'll get to them later
16:00
Most of what I received is We actually
16:04
wouldn't mind being the 51st state I didn't
16:07
get too many of those I know I
16:09
got a couple of those Also You know
16:15
A lot of like well And this is
16:18
kind of permeated It might be in this
16:20
report A lot of Canadians would say Well
16:23
we all know that we only exist Because
16:25
you haven't invaded us yet Which I think
16:30
is Well I didn't get that one Yeah
16:31
I got that one These guys are the
16:33
ones Who burnt down the US capital These
16:35
Canadians The war of 1812 Was a war
16:41
of the United States Versus Canada We don't
16:43
like talking about it Because the Canadians won
16:47
The Canadians will discuss it Let's get some
16:50
more insight from CBS Now Ed we usually
16:52
think of Canadians In kindness but in this
16:55
case They seem pretty angry right about now
16:57
Why are they digging in so hard Browsing
16:58
hold on a second The Canadians Oh they're
17:02
so kind That's not necessarily It seems like
17:06
that on the surface But when you go
17:08
and spend any time at all in Canada
17:09
They're gruff They're quick to I've had this
17:14
happen more than once It takes a while
17:15
to get used to being in Canada Because
17:17
when you have this Polite back and forth
17:21
Where you say Thank you Thanks You always
17:25
say thanks and you're welcome If you don't
17:28
get the thanks out Fast enough The Canadians
17:32
will say you're welcome In a very gruff
17:33
tone as though you haven't said Thank you
17:35
fast enough You are generalizing you realize that
17:38
right Generalizing from lots of experience Got a
17:42
report from Corey Corey and his wife Attended
17:46
the Tony Hinchcliffe show In Niagara Falls Ontario
17:49
Last night that's the guy who said You
17:52
know who Talked about the trash in the
17:54
ocean being Puerto Rico Yeah right So he
18:00
opened the show With the American National Anthem
18:03
The Star Spangled Banner Nobody booed everybody cheered
18:09
How about that That's odd Well there was
18:12
no alcohol Go to a hockey game and
18:15
get everybody else sauced up It's like Maybe
18:18
they weren't even booing Maybe they were just
18:19
trying to bend over Oooh Trying to bend
18:24
over Well Maurice AdamMcCurry.com Oh The Canadians
18:32
love me They love us they love the
18:34
show We're the only Americans who Pay any
18:37
attention to Canadian news We know they just
18:40
read Rob Ford Nobody else does The important
18:44
stuff Well Maurice in their view And the
18:47
reality is there have been Free trade agreements
18:49
between the U.S. and Canada In place
18:51
since the late 1980s Many may remember NAFTA
18:53
more recently The U.S. Mexico Canada free
18:56
trade agreement That was negotiated in part By
18:58
Donald Trump They're sick of being pushed around
19:01
And they're not quite sure what it is
19:03
the president Wants done by early April To
19:05
call off this trade war entirely Trade war
19:09
trade war So here's the final one about
19:11
the actual Products that are being affected And
19:14
if these tariffs stick What other kinds of
19:16
products Or what other ways will Americans be
19:18
affected Well let's walk our way across Canada
19:21
To give you an example In British Columbia
19:23
the lumber from there Helps build American homes
19:26
In Alberta the oil and gas gets pumped
19:28
into American cars Fertilizer from Saskatchewan Gets scattered
19:31
across the heartland And we went to a
19:34
steel manufacturer here in Ontario Who makes window
19:36
wells and garden beds That get bought up
19:38
all across the American suburbs And then of
19:40
course there's the produce Blueberries, tomatoes, and yes
19:43
Maple syrup, the cost of them Would go
19:45
up as well What kind of got lost
19:47
in all of this And I got some
19:50
boots on the ground From our producers about
19:52
this as well Is initially And I think
19:56
still These tariffs are indeed About fentanyl And
20:00
if you look at the reporting There are
20:04
a lot Of Fentanyl You know I wouldn't
20:11
call them factories But labs all over Canada
20:15
And it's produced there And then it gets
20:17
put into You know trucks That carry stuff
20:22
You know for our cars, our fenders and
20:24
bumpers And whatever else And it comes right
20:27
into America I think the president's right on
20:29
this At least from the reporting I see
20:31
And ABC went a little bit deeper into
20:34
this With what's the guy's name Kevin Hassett
20:37
Who's this guy Kevin Hassett He is Oh
20:43
he's one of the president's economic advisors Yes
20:45
he's the director of the National Economic Council
20:48
So we saw the president this week Impose
20:50
tariffs, delay a bunch of the tariffs And
20:52
then on Friday he said There are more
20:54
and bigger tariffs To come suggesting possibly As
20:58
high as 250% On Canadian dairy and
21:01
lumber Can you just explain In short What
21:05
is driving the president's decision making Let's go
21:08
through what happened this week Because I didn't
21:10
really think The way you guys characterized the
21:12
tariffs Made sense to me so I just
21:14
want to go back to what happened What
21:15
happened was that we launched A drug war,
21:18
not a trade war And it was part
21:20
of a negotiation To get Canada and Mexico
21:22
to stop shipping fentanyl Across our borders And
21:25
as we've watched them make progress On the
21:27
drug war Then we've relaxed some of the
21:31
tariffs That we've put on them Because they're
21:33
making progress And so that drug war is
21:36
something that's been going on Since really the
21:38
beginning of the Trump administration We've also announced
21:40
that we're going to put out a study
21:41
April 1st That says what is the harm
21:44
to America Of all the asymmetrical trade practices
21:47
Of foreign governments And what are we going
21:49
to do about it And that's the April
21:51
2nd number That you keep hearing the president
21:53
say So this isn't even a tariff on
21:55
trade This is just a tariff on drugs
21:58
Which is what was initially announced But somehow
22:01
it turned into Just A fog of tariff
22:06
war And they continued on this But let
22:10
me ask Because I am confused now By
22:12
what you're saying about this being a drug
22:13
war Not a trade war So let's just
22:16
take Canada I mean you said Canada's shipping
22:19
fentanyl into the United States I mean I
22:20
don't think that's happening I mean 1%
22:23
of fentanyl Is being smuggled across the border
22:26
1% I mean Canada's not a major
22:28
source At all of fentanyl in the United
22:31
States Well yes they are a major source
22:34
And I can tell you that in the
22:35
Situation Room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs
22:38
In Canada that the law enforcement folks were
22:40
leaving alone Canada's got a big drug problem
22:42
Even in their own cities Go walk around
22:44
Toronto And see what it's like And you'll
22:47
see that it is a big problem And
22:49
frankly we have intelligence That Mexican cartels operate
22:53
in Canada as well And so if you
22:55
want to get the cartels out of the
22:56
U.S. You've got to get them out
22:57
of Canada and Mexico Okay but if you're
22:59
saying that this is an effort To make
23:01
them crack down And it's worked It's working
23:04
yes it's working Then why are these tariffs
23:07
going The very same tariffs going back into
23:09
effect on April 2nd Well we'll see what
23:13
happens So what's going on With the trade
23:15
war Is that we're going to have reciprocal
23:18
tariffs In April What's going on with the
23:20
drug war is we're trying to make progress
23:22
So there is a trade war In April
23:25
there's going to be a reciprocal tariff And
23:27
then if they lower their tariffs We'll lower
23:29
ours April 2nd The real tariffs And by
23:33
the way those are reciprocal tariffs 250%
23:35
on dairy Yeah we get screwed on the
23:39
dairy We can't send our dairy up there
23:40
They don't want our dairy Why is that
23:43
This protectionary I guess Total protectionary Because they
23:49
wouldn't have An industry at all Well this
23:53
of course has Fueled the And I'm pretty
23:56
sure This is all being fueled for the
24:00
Upcoming election in Canada At least of the
24:03
new prime minister We heard from Chrystia Freeland
24:10
Who is Using this Who nobody takes seriously
24:13
According to our Her I thought it was
24:17
a rumor But her dad actually was A
24:20
guy who collaborated with the Nazis It would
24:23
surprise me She sounds like it Just saying
24:27
And the real front runner though Is a
24:30
guy we know very well on the show
24:31
Mark Carney The front runner?
24:34
No no for the liberal party The liberal
24:39
party is done Well Mark Carney man He
24:42
returned home to his supporters To make his
24:45
bid for the party leadership Mark Carney made
24:47
it clear he wanted To become Canada's 24th
24:50
Prime Minister I'm back home in Edmonton To
24:53

24:57
party And prime minister He says he has
25:03
the experience Canada needs Consider this I've helped
25:07
manage multiple crises And I've helped save two
25:10
economies Mark Carney is a former Governor of
25:13
the Bank of Canada And a former governor
25:15

25:41
change In the liberal party leadership battle He
25:44
argued Canada must fight The US President Donald
25:47
Trump And his tariffs by diversifying trading relations
25:50
He argues he's the only person Prepared to
25:53
handle Trump We have to recognize that the
25:55
Donald Trump of today Is different than the
25:57
Donald Trump Of several years ago Then his
26:00
objective was to Take more of our market
26:03
Now he wants to take Our country Yeah!
26:08
You're not Greenland Okay?
26:10

26:13
love to have you as 51st state But
26:14
that's up to you guys We would fold
26:18
them in We'd have a great time Don't
26:21
you think it would be great to have
26:22
Canada Part of the United States?
26:23

26:25
don't want it to happen What's wrong with
26:28

26:28
It would be great No you don't need
26:31
The complaining Canadians In the United States John
26:35
at Dvorak.org Everybody Canadians know what I'm
26:39

26:49
By the way it was Freeland's grandfather Not
26:52
her dad, grandfather It was a Nazi collaborator
26:55
He wrote some Newspaper stuff Um I think
27:01
that again It's just like Thursday The action
27:04
is in Europe People are I mean the
27:08
European leadership Let's put it that way Are
27:11
so gung ho on war They really are
27:16
You know what you just said Because that
27:18
little anomaly is still there Oh really?
27:22
It was funny Because when you said gung
27:25
ho on war It kind of became People
27:27
in the chat room can confirm this You
27:30
know the sound that you always Ridicule me
27:32
for when I come in With that Mickey
27:34
Mouse sound Well you know what It's so
27:38
sparse And sporadic If it's on the clips
27:42
then I'd rather reboot the machine Yeah They're
27:45
saying it's back It's got to be the
27:47
machine It's Windows 10 John 10?
27:51
Yes, it's Windows 10 You should be using
27:54
11 by now I need to upgrade my
27:57
experience Everything has been rebooted And hopefully everything's
28:01
okay now Sorry for people out there bored
28:03
stiff Mimi always bitches when this happens She's
28:06
listening live But this is why people listen
28:09
live They love this, this is the best
28:11
part Oh they love it What time is
28:13
it Bill?
28:14
It's time to go home We We used
28:18
to have The biggest problems on Skype The
28:22
biggest problems And now Did you know that
28:25
Microsoft is shutting Down Skype in May Can
28:29
you believe it?
28:31
We're on the show I'm recording Microsoft's shutting
28:36
down Skype And why is that?
28:38
Because they never got the source code to
28:40
begin with They never knew how it worked
28:42
Those guys said Nah, we're selling you the
28:45
product How do you know they never got
28:47
the Source code?
28:49
When they originally sold Now I could be
28:53
wrong, they could have gotten it later I
28:54
could be wrong But when they sold it
28:56
was a big deal Those two guys, those
28:58
Norwegians or Swedes They actually Developed that all
29:03
in Amsterdam I met them there and I
29:04
was like This is never going to fly,
29:06
I'm not investing in you Classic Classic Something
29:11
of a mistake Classic But they had They
29:17
were going to give Microsoft The product But
29:20
they weren't going to tell them how it
29:22
worked And it was kind of a Big
29:25
deal, Microsoft was Typical, well It reminds me
29:29
of when Lohenbrau Was bought By Miller, I
29:33
think they bought it And the Lohenbrau Team
29:37
said Hey, which was a famous Beer at
29:40
the time They said hey you guys You
29:44
want us to send some brewmasters over To
29:45
show you how we make this stuff And
29:47
Miller's comment was According to folklore, Miller's comment
29:51
was No, we know how to make beer
29:53
You're telling me That Microsoft paid 8.5
29:58
Billion dollars And they didn't get the source
30:01
code?
30:04
I'm telling you that they didn't Get the
30:06
knowledge That they needed to know how the
30:08
product Worked, whether they got the source code
30:11
Or not, it's like you can get source
30:13
code But if it's not, you know Source
30:15
code doesn't mean anything if it's Spaghetti code
30:18
I mean they don't even know how Windows
30:20
works half the time Nor do we Apparently
30:25
Just kick it, shake it Turn it off
30:29
Because I remember the first time I was
30:31
in, I think Sweden And I was When
30:34
this product first Appeared on the scene before
30:37
Microsoft Owned it and I heard it Because
30:41
we were doing some presentations And people kept
30:43
getting these Skype messages And you'd listen to
30:45
people It was stunning The quality of the
30:49
sound It sounded like, I always call it
30:51
CD sound It sounded like a CD, it
30:53
was so crisp And Microsoft got it It
30:56
still sounded good and very slowly It started
30:58
to deteriorate And Now They can't even keep
31:03
the thing running And they're giving up on
31:08
it Just get teams And then of course
31:11
It reminds me, what was the name of
31:14
that SIP Well the SIP Still exists It's
31:21
a crap protocol that makes everything Sound crappy
31:24
And so everything that's any good Was always
31:26
proprietary Because you have some genius That figured
31:29
out Clean feed is the same way How
31:33
does this work Well I don't know, but
31:35
those guys They got an academy award for
31:38
clean feed Yeah, for good reason Yeah, it's
31:42
good stuff Anyway We're boring, this is too
31:46
much insight Exactly, alright I wanted to go
31:50
to To Europe, where there As I said
31:53
before, are many reboots They are out of
31:56
control They are completely abusing The European public,
32:00
and I know because I'm getting screaming emails
32:03
From people Like Trump can just do whatever
32:08
he wants You don't care He's just breaking
32:11
laws left and right He wants to start
32:14
World War 3 I'm like, what are you
32:16
talking about He ignores the courts There's so
32:21
much And by the way That's the elite
32:24
messaging system The M5M is doing its job
32:26
well People are completely Under their spell And
32:32
believe everything they hear Everything they read But
32:35
ultimately, you are the ones Being played by
32:38
your own leaders They want to complete the
32:40
European project And notice how they always Are
32:43
intertwining Europe and the EU This is the
32:46
President of the EU Parliament Roberta Mezzola I
32:50
think I'll be a little bit more blunt
32:52
Than usual today And our message on This
32:56
day of the Special European Council On Defence
32:58
is that It is about damn time This
33:01
is something that we have been Asking for
33:04
a long time That the European Union That
33:08
Europe is capable of Standing up on its
33:11
own two feet That's why we've been saying
33:13
We need to scale up, we need to
33:15
be prepared We need to produce And we
33:18
need to protect That is essentially what our
33:21
citizens are asking from us That is essentially
33:23
what it will take For Europe to say
33:25
That we are ready to put Finally our
33:29
money where our mouth is On Ukraine The
33:32
situation today Is exactly the same as it
33:35
was Three years ago Ukraine is fighting for
33:39
Europe And Europe needs to be Hand in
33:42
hand, lockstep Notice this, notice It's for Europe,
33:47
but only EU Has to pay, and the
33:49
UK of course Fighting for Europe And Europe
33:52
needs to be Hand in hand, lockstep With
33:55
whoever is fighting for our security For our
33:58
values, Ukraine's security Is Europe's security And today,
34:03
more than ever Also with the President of
34:05
the country We will stand with him and
34:07
we'll say We are with you, but to
34:09
do that We need to do more, we
34:11
need to make sure That even here we
34:13
put Our money where our mouth is That
34:15
we help financially That we help militarily And
34:18
we're able to say that yes What you
34:20
are fighting is what we will be fighting
34:22
for together I mean, that's the President Of
34:26
the European Union Parliament I mean, that's the
34:30
President Of the European Union Parliament I mean,
34:30
she's a warmonger And you're going to pay
34:34
for it EU Here's the Lithuanian President There's
34:39
no need to explain In a detailed way
34:42
How important is this meeting We are in
34:45
the fourth year Of the war in Ukraine
34:47
And Ukraine is buying The precious time for
34:51
us every day Paying with the blood So
34:54
it would be highly irresponsible To waste this
34:58
time And to have long hours discussions Without
35:01
a clear outcome So I think we have
35:04
Two very important proposals On the table, first
35:07
of all I appreciate the efforts Of the
35:11
President of the European Commission Ursula von der
35:14
Leyen For this 800 million Billion Euro plan
35:18
I think this is A step forward comparing
35:21
with this When I hear this guy He's
35:24
like, oh, I thank Ursula Queen Ursula for
35:27
the 800 billion Euro plan I hear a
35:29
guy who's going Money, money, money, money There's
35:32
money coming in, baby This is a step
35:35
forward comparing With the situation we are Now,
35:39
and it would be Really high assistance for
35:42
my country Because we have very ambitious target
35:44
In my country to spend For defense from
35:48
six To five To six percent of our
35:51
GDP It means a lot, but for that
35:54
We need more flexible treatment Of defense spending
35:58
While calculating the fiscal Deficit according to economic
36:02
Growth and stability Plan Then 20 billion Euros
36:08
Financial package for Ukraine You are smiling I
36:13
think this is very serious Because Lithuania is
36:17
Committed to contribute And to pay Our part
36:21
to this fund Because We are committed also
36:26
to support Ukraine by 0.25 percent Of
36:30
our GDP Each year We calculated If other
36:34
countries will commit To pay the same amount
36:37
Ukraine would receive 43 billion Euros And this
36:42
is a lot And this is really What
36:46
they need right now It's amazing what is
36:49
taking place In Germany Merz is trying to
36:53
get Their part of the Rearmament scheme Rammed
36:58
through before the new Parliament is compiled Or
37:02
chosen They got to shuffle stuff around To
37:05
get their majority They don't want the AFD
37:09
in there It's going to be a roadblock
37:11
They got to get going before the guys
37:13
Get their seats So they're going They want
37:17
to go to a trillion But they're going
37:20
to start It's all borrowed money They have
37:24
to undo Their handbrake legislation So they can
37:28
start borrowing that money And the French Well
37:32
they have a totally different plan They're taking
37:35
it from their own citizens Boosting France's defense
37:37
budget A pressing priority But where to find
37:41
the billions of Euros Needed?
37:43
One idea is to use French citizens' savings
37:45
By offering a new personal investment vehicle Based
37:48
on defense funds So it starts One option
37:52
is war bonds That's basically what this is
37:54
But then it gets crazier as it goes
37:56
on The war bonds thing goes back in
37:58
history To the World War I And a
38:02
lot of people think This whole thing is
38:03
a scam For war bonds to sucker everyone
38:07
Basically taking their money And turning it into
38:09
war bonds For the purposes of this So
38:12
this is some true I believe that to
38:14
be possible The United States has to get
38:17
away from This is like Well you know
38:21
NATO has kept The peace and blah blah
38:23
blah I've always said It's never been NATO
38:26
that's kept the peace It's the Nuclear deterrence
38:31
that's kept the peace Because people know what
38:33
would happen If you got into a conflagration
38:37
Conflagration Yes And NATO's just been there We
38:42
have to get out of NATO Because these
38:44
people, this is pent up The fact that
38:46
we've had peace for so long Is pent
38:49
up in Europe They want to get back
38:51
into fighting each other We continue We have
38:54
to get out of this This is not
38:56
good for us Yeah but let's listen to
38:57
how the French are getting screwed And then
38:58
we'll talk about that Investment vehicle based on
39:01
defence funds Not everyone is keen I'd rather
39:04
it be used for social good Or for
39:06
the environment Not the military I don't want
39:09
my money to be financing war Another option
39:13
The Livre A A tax-free government regulated
39:16
account Popular with French savers Its deposits are
39:19
currently used mostly To finance social housing Some
39:22
of that though could be reoriented Into defence
39:26
Whatever the product It will need to attract
39:28
investors To mobilise French savings Certainly you can
39:31
call on patriotism Defending the country But savers
39:34
will be looking at the returns If those
39:36
are low They'll prefer the Livre A Or
39:38
a tax-deferred investment account Other options include
39:42
directing funds From those tax-deferred investment accounts
39:45
Towards defence Incentivising institutional private investment Or reducing
39:50
interest rates For defence contractors The French state
39:54
itself Could borrow to fund more military spending
39:57
But not without consequence We have to be
40:00
careful We'd have no problem borrowing that money
40:02
But interest rates are higher now Than they
40:05
were before the financial crisis So this debt
40:07
will cost us more One option that President
40:11
Emmanuel Macron insists Is not on the table
40:14
Raising taxes Borrowing money is a taxation Taking
40:21
your savings Is more than a taxation The
40:25
French are going to wake up to this
40:26
And then No they're not The French They
40:31
do a lot of protests about one thing
40:34
or another But they can't This is relentless
40:37
But then there's a new player that pops
40:40
on the scene Unfortunately this is Euronews And
40:43
Euronews has I tried to Speed it up
40:47
as much as possible They've resorted to AI
40:50
voices now For their reports This is the
40:53
worst But it's the report that counts France
40:55
versus Germany The battle for Erdogan's favour And
40:59
the 150 billion euro European defence Funds between
41:03
France and Germany Over the European Commission's proposal
41:06
For a 150 billion euro investment In European
41:10
defence Whether these funds Should be exclusively reserved
41:14
For EU-based defence industries Or if they
41:17
should also benefit Non-EU partners Including Turkey
41:21
According to the Financial Times Turkish President Recep
41:25
Tayyip Erdogan Has already expressed interest In participating
41:29
in Europe's Joint defence effort Given Turkey's strong
41:33
military industry A divided Europe Last week European
41:37
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Proposed a
41:41
150 billion euro Defence fund Aimed at boosting
41:45
Europe's military production While all EU member states
41:49
Support the idea Disagreements remain over Who should
41:52
receive the funding During the EU summit last
41:55
Thursday German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Argued that the
41:59
initiative should be Open to non-EU partners,
42:02
stating It is very important for us That
42:04
the projects we support Are also open to
42:07
countries that are not Part of the European
42:09
Union But maintain close cooperation with us Such
42:13
as the United Kingdom Norway, Switzerland And Turkey
42:17
However, French President Emmanuel Macron Strongly disagreed Insisting
42:22
that EU defence spending Should prioritise European manufacturers
42:27
These investments Should not be spent on equipment
42:30
That is not of European origin So they're
42:33
fighting over The money already And this is
42:38
just The first tranche The 150 billion that
42:41
Queen Ursula promised And Turkey's saying Hey we're
42:45
in NATO We've got NATO gear, you don't
42:47
have anything You gotta go build stuff So
42:50
they don't actually want to help Ukraine They
42:52
just want the money So we can have
42:55
a war economy And Macron Is making very
42:59
dangerous Noises The UK and many of the
43:03
Member states in the EU They have our
43:06
nukes I know the Netherlands has several But
43:09
France, they have their own Yeah, so is
43:13
the UK Yes, so if you want to
43:15
launch Something from the EU You've gotta get,
43:18
you've gotta sign the EULA I mean from
43:21
the EU You've gotta sign the EULA And
43:23
make a payment and then we'll give you
43:25
the code And we'll activate your nukes But
43:29
Macron Is like, he's got his own And
43:31
he's making dangerous noises In a televised address
43:34
Wednesday evening French President Emmanuel Macron Delivered a
43:37
stark message to his nation Macron warned That
43:41
Russian aggression knows no borders And could extend
43:45
beyond Ukraine Crazy He also said he would
43:47
consider extending French nuclear deterrence To other European
43:52
countries And that's a statement Russia condemned As
43:55
quote, very confrontational Macron also acknowledged That the
43:59
French people's worries are legitimate And said Europe
44:02
must prepare For a potential future without US
44:05
support Russia has become a threat to France
44:09
And Europe I want to believe that the
44:11
US will stand By us, but we have
44:14
to be ready If this is not the
44:16
case Whether or not peace in Ukraine Is
44:18
achieved quickly, Europe Must be able to defend
44:21
itself better And deter any further aggression And
44:25
the Kremlin is reacting Strongly to Macron's speech
44:28
By saying the French leader's comments Are an
44:30
indication that Paris wants to Prolong the war
44:33
in Ukraine And the Russian spokesman had particularly
44:36
Stern words for Macron's statement That he is
44:38
considering sharing France's nuclear Capabilities within Europe Of
44:42
course this is a threat against Russia If
44:44
Macron considers us a threat Gathers a meeting
44:47
of the chiefs Of general staffs of European
44:50
countries And Britain, says that nuclear Weapons need
44:53
to be used And prepares to use nuclear
44:55
weapons Against Russia This is certainly a threat
45:00
This, I mean I mean It's unbelievable, you've
45:05
got Mr. Peepers Coming in In In Germany
45:11
You've got Macron married to a dude And
45:14
you've got Starmer, who knows what his deal
45:17
is Yeah They've all gone insane And I,
45:22
you know They're suicidal maniacs Oh that's a
45:26
good way of putting it And Now if
45:29
we get out of NATO I mean, what
45:31
happens?
45:33
Well, all hell's gonna break loose I sure
45:36
hope not Well the thing is They keep
45:40
talking about Russia this, Russia that Russia has
45:43
taken What has Russia done so far?
45:46
They've taken pot shots at Ukraine With a
45:49
bunch of drones flying every which way And
45:51
glide bombs It's about as close as they
45:54
can get And the glide bombs hit whatever
45:55
they hit And they've taken the Donbass Which
45:58
is an area that they've controlled anyway Because
46:01
they're all Russian speakers And Crimea, which they
46:04
controlled anyway Because they took it over in
46:06
2014 They haven't done anything else They kind
46:09
of make an inroad here And an inroad
46:11
there And they lost the Kursk area Their
46:14
own part of their own country Because of
46:15
the Ukrainians So how is this a big
46:17
threat to France?
46:19
For all practical purposes France is a bigger
46:22
threat They're shaking their sword right there And
46:26
well, let's see what happens When one of
46:29
those 50 ton bombs The Russians have nukes
46:33
that are Nothing compared to the French The
46:36
French nukes are jokes by comparison To what
46:39
the Russians have 150 ton bomb Would take
46:43
Paris in a second And they can Take
46:47
all their nuclear missiles And recalibrate where they're
46:51
going to be targeted And good luck France
46:54
Give me a break These guys are idiots
46:56
I don't understand why The Europeans They're kind
47:01
of silent Except for the ones yelling at
47:03
me Because it's all Trump's fault We had
47:06
in Fredericksburg yesterday 50 protesters With Ukraine flags
47:11
On Main Street What?
47:15
In Fredericksburg?
47:15
In Fredericksburg You don't even have that in
47:18
Berkeley I think that was the entire Democrat
47:21
Representation in Fredericksburg But yeah, I was surprised
47:25
Well there's a couple Of organizations that Mimi
47:29
turned me on to That are floating around
47:31
501 Somebody in the chat room knows this
47:34
I think it's called 505104 There's some number
47:41
And it's a national organization There's about 2
47:44
or 3 of them .org .com And they
47:50
are organizing These little events all over the
47:53
country Constantly I think it stands for 50
47:56
states 50 events So it would be 5050
48:02
01 maybe That's what it is And 50
48:06
events, 50 states Something like that Is that
48:08
an ActBlue or a Soros?
48:10
Soros!
48:12
I don't see any ActBlue connections But it's
48:15
obviously ActBlue Because they have the same website
48:17
look And there's a certain web designers That
48:21
do all these sites Are all the same
48:23
And that's probably who organized That Fredericksburg thing
48:29
This group So Tina said she drove by
48:32
And gave a thumbs down And the people
48:35
went, well God bless you Have a blessed
48:40
day I would give a thumbs up And
48:45
go in with a microphone And start chatting
48:49
So Now there's also Implications Depending on how
48:54
this goes There's implications for Five Eyes And
48:58
of course Australia is dangling down there With
49:01
a cyclone going on Which not many people
49:03
are talking about But it seems to be
49:05
pretty bad From people I know down there
49:08
Power is going out And all kinds of
49:11
stuff is happening It's a big hurricane But
49:15
Europe wants to The European Union wants to
49:19
Tie up with Australia You have the UK
49:22
And this is Fiona Hill She was on
49:25
Face the Nation She is I think CFR
49:34
Brookings Institution I think she also worked in
49:40
the UK government Here she is on Face
49:42
the Nation The US pauses of lethal intelligence
49:45
sharing Including targeting data For US provided weapons
49:48
like HIMARS We also know it extends To
49:51
satellite imagery Which is no longer being shared
49:53
with Ukraine What's the practical impact of that
49:56
And the military freeze?
49:58
Well I think we can see the impact
49:59
It's certainly on the one hand emboldened Russia
50:02
To really step up the attacks And it's
50:04
also not just blindsided But also partially blinded
50:07
Ukraine I mean we heard from the previous
50:10
segment That there's still some sharing With allies
50:13
like the United Kingdom of course Which is
50:15
part of the Five Eyes sharing With the
50:17
United States But frankly none of the other
50:21
Allies including the UK Have the same access
50:23
to satellite imagery As the United States does
50:26
So even if there is some sharing Not
50:28
much restrictions This certainly has an impact And
50:31
frankly I think it's going to be an
50:32
impetus To other allies to start stepping up
50:34
their own capabilities And questioning themselves About the
50:38
virtues of sharing with the United States I
50:40
mean this is a two way street We
50:41
have to remember that other countries Also share
50:44
pretty vital information With the United States Even
50:47
if the scale is not quite the same
50:49
Huh So as it turns out everybody's leeching
50:52
off of our data As per usual Yeah
50:55
we're the ones with all the satellites We're
50:56
the ones with all the good data We
50:58
have the targeting information We got the data
51:01
people Alright how will Five Eyes respond This
51:03
woman is a spook Oh of course she
51:05
is The UK, Australia among those who do
51:08
so You think they will essentially punish the
51:10
US By not sharing intelligence I'm not sure
51:12
whether it's punishment But it'll be a lot
51:14
of questioning About what actually happens with this
51:17
Because if you're bundling together intelligence And then
51:20
effectively the United States Is putting restrictions on
51:23
that Was that pre-discussed With our Five
51:26
Eyes allies for example Or with other allies
51:28
Particularly in the midst of Basically a conflict
51:32
Before I continue this clip What do you
51:35
think the odds are that Trump Is so
51:37
hacked off at Five Eyes And for all
51:39
the stuff they did To him in his
51:42
first To him In his first go around
51:45
That he's just going to tell them to
51:47
screw off too I think He's been doing
51:51
that consistently A conflict That is as we've
51:55
heard over and over again The largest land
51:57
war in Europe Since World War II This
52:00
is really unprecedented In terms of the actions
52:03
of the United States In this regard because
52:05
it's not just Affecting Ukraine Looking at her
52:09
background We're not hearing her We're hearing MI6
52:13
complaining Yeah I agree It's having knock on
52:18
effects For all of our other allies Who
52:19
are directly affected All of our European allies
52:22
That are directly affected by this conflict Then
52:27
of course The horrible things that President Trump
52:30
Said about Putin In other words he said
52:34
Yeah Putin's doing what I would do So
52:35
President Trump said on Friday when he was
52:37
asked If this uptick in Putin's bombing Was
52:40
directly related to the US halt Here's what
52:43
he said I actually think he's doing What
52:46
anybody else would do I think he's I
52:49
think he wants To get it stopped and
52:52
settled And I think he's hitting them harder
52:53
Than he's been hitting them And I think
52:57
probably anybody In that position would be doing
52:59
that right now Yet earlier in the day
53:02
The President had posted on social media He
53:04
was considering possibly Putting sanctions on Russia That's
53:09
a contradiction Contradiction What do you make of
53:12
what he said?
53:14
I make of it exactly what he said
53:16
I mean he's actually Obviously putting himself in
53:18
the shoes of Vladimir Putin And saying that
53:21
if I were the aggressor That's exactly what
53:22
I would be doing If I wanted to
53:23
make Ukraine capitulate So I mean yeah he
53:26
called it as it is I don't believe
53:28
what he said for a second about the
53:29
sanctions I believe more what he just said
53:31
There in the Oval Office Sitting behind the
53:34
Resolute Desk I mean I think that's what
53:36
you can take away from this He believes
53:38
the President I think he should I mean
53:41
he's the President of the United States And
53:42
he made it crystal clear I think And
53:44
he sees obviously The Ukrainians And he said
53:48
that in the Oval Office During the meeting
53:50
with President Zelensky That he sees them on
53:52
the back foot as losing And he's basically
53:54
telling them That they have to capitulate Very
53:56
clear She's interpreting it of course Yeah she's
54:03
a mind reader now And as you correctly
54:05
pointed out She's a spook And so she
54:08
has some information From Spook Central The Council
54:11
on Foreign Relations You don't have the cards
54:13
was the line he kept using So I
54:15
know you were at the Council on Foreign
54:16
Relations This week as was I I had
54:19
an interview As was I?
54:21
What?
54:22
Who is this?
54:23
Margaret Brennan As was I I was at
54:27
the briefing of the spooks As was I
54:31
I had an interview with Trump's envoy to
54:34
Ukraine Keith Kellogg And when we were discussing
54:37
The President's decision to cut off Ukraine He
54:40
said Ukrainians Brought it on themselves And the
54:44
decision was like Hitting a mule with a
54:47
2x4 Across the nose You got their attention
54:51
Comparing our ally to a farm animal here
54:53
That needed to be beaten Oh no the
54:56
audacity In diplomacy you really should Only be
55:00
speaking in your native language And I think
55:02
there was a lot of this Which was
55:03
lost in translation First of all President Zelensky
55:06
didn't fully understand That this agreement was just
55:08
purely With President Trump And President Zelensky didn't
55:12
quite follow all of this Because like the
55:14
rest of our allies He actually thinks that
55:17
Commitments made by the United States Are supposed
55:19
to hold over successive administrations And what we
55:22
learned there And what he learned there was
55:24
that is not the case You're essentially going
55:26
to have to make a new Commitment with
55:29
President Trump It's a personal commitment And that
55:31
was what he was being told And he
55:32
didn't fully understand And I think in future
55:35
when the Ukrainians are meeting With the Americans
55:38
They ought to have translators with them Because
55:41
as good as President Zelensky's English is There's
55:43
two things that he's missing He doesn't quite
55:45
understand the way that President Trump operates Although
55:47
I think he's probably got the message now
55:49
But he doesn't always understand the nuances And
55:51
I would also think that Our side on
55:54
the United States side Could do with some
55:55
interpretation as well So the way I read
55:58
that from the Council On Foreign Relations is
56:00
Oh no no, it's not Zelensky's fault He
56:04
didn't screw it up He's a good guy,
56:05
he just didn't understand What it meant when
56:08
President Trump said You don't have any cards
56:11
I want to mention something here Just so
56:13
we clarify Because it's never mentioned by Margaret
56:16
That she was not only doing an interview
56:18
While she was at the Council on Foreign
56:20
Relations And she's talking to a member of
56:22
the Council On Foreign Relations She herself, I'm
56:26
looking at the roster She herself is a
56:29
member Of the Council on Foreign Relations Margaret
56:32
Brennan, the journalist Is a member of the
56:34
Council on Foreign Relations And she does not
56:36
disclose that Oh wow Gambling?
56:41
I'm very surprised You're not surprised Ian Bremmer
56:49
is also One of the things Another good
56:51
one Well, I'm very sad for this turn
56:55
of events And I don't know if President
56:57
Trump has more cards up his sleeve To
57:00
bring all this back Into Some kind of
57:04
normalcy And I don't know if he can
57:07
The Europeans They have a secondary agenda That
57:11
they are just not being honest about They
57:13
want a war economy They have a problem
57:15
with their economy in general As does everybody
57:19
And so they're, well, we need more factories
57:21
We need to borrow money It's a racket
57:24
Every single time But if you don't have
57:27
the reserve currency Like the US has Which
57:31
is also coming to its end now You
57:34
can't What?
57:36
Not necessarily It's not great Let's put it
57:39
that way It's not great But they can't
57:43
just be printing money all over the place
57:46
Not everybody wants euros I'm sure they think
57:50
They'd want that to be The reserve currency
57:54
But it's this I have And you just
57:58
look at the M5M here in the US
58:01
Doge, Elon Doge They are the ones that
58:05
are stupid They're not giving anybody any useful
58:08
information And we all Have roots back in
58:12
Europe But no No, no, no, it's just
58:15
all Trump It's Trump, he did it all
58:18
It was Certainly, it was the United States
58:22
Who started this whole This whole mess We
58:27
lied We lied with Baker Before that We
58:31
lied with Baker, that's when we started it
58:35
Actually We don't know that that was a
58:38
lie Baker may have been sincere Maybe Baker
58:42
was reflecting Because that was right after the
58:44
fall Of the Soviet Union It fell apart
58:47
And we made the promises to the Russians
58:49
That we weren't going to move NATO around
58:52
anymore Because it wasn't the threat that it
58:54
once was And that doesn't I don't think
58:57
it was a long term scheme I think
58:59
it's just later That it devolved I could
59:03
be wrong But now you see the power
59:06
of propaganda And the power of Of mainstream
59:09
Which still lingers Because no one has ever
59:12
received this information They don't know anything about
59:15
it And Putin for years has been saying
59:17
Stop expanding NATO Stop expanding NATO Until he
59:22
was fed up And then the little twerp
59:24
over there in Ukraine Said, well maybe we'll
59:26
get some nukes over here And that's when
59:29
he Went for it, after we had already
59:32
Committed a coup in that country So the
59:35
whole thing is shameful And President Trump is
59:37
actually Trying to fix some stuff But oh
59:40
no He's getting zero help In fact Before
59:45
you play that, I want to play a
59:46
little sub clip This is an example You
59:48
know Trump just got in Trump's approval rating
59:54
as far as I can tell Is quite
59:55
high for a president Never as low for
59:57
a president this early In his administration, ever
1:00:03
And people Most people, at least if you
1:00:05
look at the Social media Even the black
1:00:09
folk Like the fact that Musk is kicking
1:00:12
ass The black folk But yet On the
1:00:17
latest version of Margaret Hoover's show Firing Line,
1:00:22
which is a take off Which is the
1:00:24
modern version Of the William F.
1:00:27
Buckley show When he was very erudite He
1:00:29
was kind of mocked for being so And
1:00:33
Margaret Brennan Has the temerity To use that
1:00:36
word To think she could be Another William
1:00:39
F.
1:00:40
Buckley She's a clownish Blonde, who used to
1:00:44
be on The O'Reilly Factor as a
1:00:46
stooge She Opens the latest show with this
1:00:50
little Ditty, with a guy that's With a
1:00:53
guy who is the columnist for The New
1:00:55
York Times, here we go Welcome to Firing
1:00:57
Line Thanks so much for having me Margaret,
1:00:59
it's great to be here President Trump delivered
1:01:02
his first Address to Congress this week And
1:01:04
declared that he had Accomplished more in 43
1:01:07
days Than most administrations accomplish In four Or
1:01:12
eight years The fact is, the economy Is
1:01:16
showing some flashing signs His approval rating Is
1:01:20
lower than any modern president At this point
1:01:23
in his term And his alliance with Elon
1:01:26
Musk is deeply unpopular How do you assess
1:01:30
The opportunities And the real risks Of the
1:01:34
moment we're in I mean, I think what
1:01:37
you've just said Is basically correct Yeah, she's
1:01:40
no William F.
1:01:41
Buckley So that's what We have to deal
1:01:47
with PBS, thank you very much People, stop
1:01:50
sending your money to them Here is the
1:01:53
report about The ongoing negotiations Taking place in
1:01:58
Where's it going to take place?
1:02:00
Saudi Arabia With Russian airstrikes Continuing to rain
1:02:03
down on Ukraine As Moscow claims more advances
1:02:06
The pressure for Kiev to end the three
1:02:08
-year war Is at boiling point President Zelensky
1:02:10
has confirmed Ukrainian negotiators Will travel to Saudi
1:02:13
Arabia next week For talks with U.S.
1:02:15
officials And he is optimistic for dialogue We
1:02:20
are preparing a meeting In Saudi Arabia I'm
1:02:22
confident that the meeting will be productive We
1:02:25
in Ukraine are committed to this We will
1:02:27
do our best to ensure that Ukrainian Interests
1:02:29
are taken into account Taken into account in
1:02:31
the right way Zelensky will also be present
1:02:34
In the Gulf Kingdom for his pre-planned
1:02:36
Visit with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman Though
1:02:39
he will not be participating In the negotiations
1:02:41
The war is at a critical juncture for
1:02:44
Kiev After Donald Trump suspended crucial U.S.
1:02:46
military aid For Ukraine After his very public
1:02:49
clash with Zelensky In the Oval Office last
1:02:51
week Trump has also defended Russia's relentless bombardment
1:02:54
On Ukraine since the aid pause Calling it
1:02:56
what anybody would do The Saudi talks though
1:02:59
show a step forward For Kiev in repairing
1:03:01
ties with Washington That's not defending That's not
1:03:07
defending He wasn't defending it He was just
1:03:09
saying that's what anyone would do That's not
1:03:10
the same as defending This is a false
1:03:13
report It's France Vincatra You know The people
1:03:18
with the nukes After Donald Trump suspended crucial
1:03:21
U.S. military aid For Ukraine After his
1:03:23
very public clash with Zelensky In the Oval
1:03:25
Office last week Trump has also defended Russia's
1:03:28
relentless bombardment On Ukraine since the aid pause
1:03:30
Calling it what anybody would do The Saudi
1:03:33
talks though show a step forward For Kiev
1:03:35
in repairing ties with Washington With the U
1:03:38
.S. envoy saying Thursday The idea is to
1:03:40
create a framework For a longer agreement I
1:03:42
think that the President has said That there's
1:03:45
a path back And President Zelensky has demonstrated
1:03:49
That he's intent on that Good faith path
1:03:51
back He's apologized He said he's grateful He
1:03:55
said that he wants to work towards peace
1:03:58
Oh he's apologized He's grateful I don't think
1:04:03
that was really the issue Ever But you're
1:04:07
talking About the The speech The joint The
1:04:13
joint session Not the State of the Union
1:04:17
State speech Yeah just the speech I noticed
1:04:21
something That happened while the President was speaking
1:04:25
And it was corroborated And I'd kind of
1:04:28
forgotten about it Did you notice that while
1:04:30
he was speaking A little white dot appeared
1:04:33
On his left sleeve No Well I noticed
1:04:39
it because you know He has a blue
1:04:40
jacket on All of a sudden there's this
1:04:42
white dot I'm like oh I didn't know
1:04:43
this It's almost like one of those very
1:04:45
small pieces Of styrofoam Like a round styrofoam
1:04:50
ball It turns out one of the Democrats
1:04:54
Shot a spitball at him Is that right?
1:04:59
Yes I don't have confirmation on who did
1:05:03
it yet But somebody shot a spitball That's
1:05:07
how Wow this is like the 5th grade
1:05:09
Or something It's amazing It's amazing You can
1:05:14
go back and take a look at it
1:05:15
It wouldn't actually completely surprise me No So
1:05:20
for those of you Not in America A
1:05:24
spitball is done with a straw And you
1:05:26
take a little piece of paper And you
1:05:28
put it in your mouth and make it
1:05:28
all nice and wet And you jam it
1:05:31
into the straw And then you shoot it
1:05:33
out It's like a blowgun It's a kid's
1:05:37
version of a blowgun And if you've ever
1:05:39
used a blowgun I don't know if you've
1:05:40
ever had a real one Many times Those
1:05:43
things are astonishingly accurate And powerful You know
1:05:48
back in the day In the Netherlands When
1:05:51
we first arrived there in 72 All the
1:05:54
kids were walking around With the same device
1:05:57
And I was like What is this?
1:06:01
So you get a piece of PVC pipe
1:06:03
And they'd saw it off You know just
1:06:05
that regular plastic Kind of beige-ish PVC
1:06:08
pipe That you put Wiring through And then
1:06:12
they'd walk around with this With strips of
1:06:16
newspaper In their belt And they'd whip a
1:06:19
piece out Wrap it around their finger Make
1:06:21
it into a dart, rip off the tail
1:06:23
end So it fits perfectly into the tube
1:06:25
And they would just be shooting blow darts
1:06:28
At each other all the time I got
1:06:30
really good at rolling those darts Actually that
1:06:33
was the precursor to my joints I think
1:06:37
Well I used a commercial blow dart A
1:06:39
big one It was about 4 feet long
1:06:42
And it had a real dart And it
1:06:46
was pretty amazing Wait I have a jingle
1:06:49
for us Where is it?
1:06:52
Someone sent a couple of these in Yeah
1:06:54
here it is We are the boomers Born
1:06:59
to be wild and free Check out my
1:07:01
new Harley Boomers Yeah baby And no we're
1:07:05
not quite there yet We are the boomers
1:07:11
Although technically I have learned I'm Generation John
1:07:16
Jones, I'm sorry Generation Jones Jones?
1:07:21
Yes It has a Wikipedia page so it's
1:07:24
true Oh yeah Some guy like you put
1:07:27
it up Generation Jones Is the generational social
1:07:32
cohort Between the baby boomers And Generation X
1:07:35
So being born in 1964 I'm officially Generation
1:07:39
Jones Unfortunately Is it just that year or
1:07:43
is it a couple of years?
1:07:44
Do you have some leeway here to be
1:07:45
a Jones?
1:07:45
Yeah the leeway is No wonder you're Jonesing
1:07:48
all the time It's really 64 But if
1:07:55
you look at the At the people who
1:07:57
are my Fellow Generation Jonesers Bill Gates Neil
1:08:02
deGrasse Tyson Barack Obama I'd rather be a
1:08:07
boomer than with those guys That's no good
1:08:12
Creeps So there was a report In the
1:08:17
New York Times about a Rift that occurred
1:08:21
Between Elon Musk And Marco Rubio Yes this
1:08:25
New York Times report And it's also Maggie
1:08:28
Haberman I think has something to do with
1:08:30
it I don't trust her at all She's
1:08:33
the co-author Some brand new reporting in
1:08:34
the New York Times today On a confrontation
1:08:36
of sorts Inside the White House between Elon
1:08:39
Musk And several members of Donald Trump's new
1:08:41
cabinet Is this Nicole Wallace?
1:08:45
Of course it's Nicole Wallace Of course she's
1:08:47
beautiful To the role of spectator The Times
1:08:50
cites five people with knowledge Of the confrontation
1:08:53
Reports this about an argument between Elon Musk
1:08:56
and Marco Rubio Quote Quote
1:09:43
Quote Quote Quote
1:09:47
Quote Quote
1:10:17
Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote Quote
1:10:24
So I of course don't know If there
1:10:27
was a real You know huffy shouting match
1:10:30
Or something that went on But I do
1:10:32
know first hand information That the Doge people
1:10:36
Were kicked out Even the unregistered Doge people
1:10:40
Were kicked out You know because there were
1:10:44
some other Some other personnel That were put
1:10:47
in That you know were Kicked out of
1:10:50
what the meeting or the State Department?
1:10:52
State Department and this is bad because I
1:10:57
was a bad because the State Department is
1:11:01
more trouble than USAID.
1:11:03
Oh no, the State Department is the worst
1:11:04
and they have their own secret they have
1:11:07
their own spy agency that nobody wants to
1:11:09
talk about.
1:11:10
Exactly so Rubio I think we have to
1:11:14
keep a sharp eye on and and maybe
1:11:18
President Trump is all in it's like okay
1:11:20
you keep your you keep your your secret
1:11:21
intelligence group you keep all I mean every
1:11:24
single embassy is a CIA station haven't heard
1:11:27
much about the CIA lately either.
1:11:29
No they're laying low for some reason.
1:11:32
Well maybe it's it's related but there's I
1:11:36
mean not clearing out the State Department and
1:11:38
okay whatever 1,500 people took voluntary leave
1:11:41
they took the buyout fine.
1:11:44
I'm I'm skeptical about the the State Department.
1:11:48
Well you should be.
1:11:49
Yeah but we could do a whole Lib
1:11:53
Joe episode on that alone.
1:11:56
Oh can you believe it it the bromance
1:12:00
is over the bromance is over Elon's not
1:12:04
allowed to do anything he's being curtailed by
1:12:06
Trump.
1:12:07
Orange man no good.
1:12:11
Some people actually like that.
1:12:14
Yeah.
1:12:15
No when we did that on the last
1:12:17
show.
1:12:17
The skit you mean?
1:12:18
Yeah the skit we did what I got
1:12:20
back was wow y'all you sounded so
1:12:23
much happier it was much more light-hearted.
1:12:27
What do you mean he sounded happier?
1:12:29
Two guys grousing about the president.
1:12:31
I'm just telling you that that's how they
1:12:33
heard it.
1:12:33
It was music to their ears.
1:12:38
Anyway here's the NBC follow-up on this.
1:12:41
All of this comes against the backdrop of
1:12:43
these tensions between Elon Musk who's charged with
1:12:47
slashing the federal government and the cabinet secretaries.
1:12:50
I asked Secretary Lutnick about that he wouldn't.
1:12:54
This is old Manhans talking now isn't it?
1:12:56
Who?
1:12:57
Manhans the Welker.
1:13:01
Isn't this Welker?
1:13:02
I'm not sure.
1:13:04
The one they have to yellow up?
1:13:06
No no no this is Courtney Cube.
1:13:09
Courtney Cube?
1:13:10
I never heard of her.
1:13:11
Yeah oh well I looked her up for
1:13:13
you somewhere.
1:13:14
She's a she's a correspondent.
1:13:16
Secretary Lutnick about that he wouldn't kind of
1:13:19
go so far as to say look bottom
1:13:21
line the president said we're all in charge
1:13:22
of our own agencies but what are you
1:13:25
hearing about?
1:13:26
You're right this is Manhans now Cube comes
1:13:28
in.
1:13:29
What came out of that meeting?
1:13:30
Yeah yeah that's right I mean this is
1:13:31
the first time that we've heard that some
1:13:33
frustrations that frankly have been in place for
1:13:36
several weeks now are actually boiling over and
1:13:38
what I was really struck by was they
1:13:40
boiled over in front of President Trump.
1:13:42
So in this case there were several the
1:13:45
confronted Elon Musk on Thursday about the way
1:13:48
that Doge is doing these firings.
1:13:50
So it's not just the firings in general
1:13:51
but how they are doing it cutting thousands
1:13:54
of employees in some cases having to bring
1:13:55
some of them back because they are not
1:13:57
taking into account employees performance or some of
1:14:01
the critical nature of the jobs that they're
1:14:02
doing.
1:14:03
That was really at issue here.
1:14:04
Now this is something that Republicans have been
1:14:07
concerned about that's why Elon Musk met with
1:14:10
them Wednesday night on the Hill.
1:14:11
They met for two hours but at the
1:14:14
end of the day Elon Musk still has
1:14:17
a lot of authority.
1:14:18
What we did see out of this cabinet
1:14:20
meeting was President Trump said look the secretaries
1:14:22
have the authority to make their own firings
1:14:24
here but if you don't do enough Doge
1:14:28
will step in.
1:14:29
Remember most of these secretaries will do enough.
1:14:31
I will say the president also walked out
1:14:33
of it saying Elon Musk is doing an
1:14:34
amazing job.
1:14:35
I think his role as first buddy is
1:14:38
probably still pretty safe.
1:14:40
First buddy?
1:14:41
Slow down for God's sake.
1:14:45
I got some Doge clips I got to
1:14:48
play.
1:14:48
Give me some Doge.
1:14:49
You got any Doge?
1:14:50
How much Doge do you got?
1:14:50
I got three, four Doge clips but let's
1:14:52
play this one.
1:14:53
Doge NPR.
1:14:54
This is the NPR report.
1:14:56
Millions of federal workers are still weighing how
1:14:58
to respond to a second email sent over
1:15:00
the weekend asking them to justify their jobs.
1:15:03
Wait, they're still doing this?
1:15:05
Another round.
1:15:06
Oh another round.
1:15:08
NPR's Bobby Allen reports the messages are part
1:15:10
of Elon Musk's push to root out dead
1:15:12
or non-existent workers.
1:15:14
Musk has now asked the federal workforce twice
1:15:16
to list five bullet points about their accomplishments.
1:15:18
He said ignoring it could lead to termination.
1:15:21
To former Twitter employees it sounds familiar.
1:15:23
When Musk took over the social media company
1:15:25
he launched a payroll audit to see how
1:15:27
many fake people were on Twitter's payroll.
1:15:30
Ian Brown worked at Twitter for nearly a
1:15:31
decade.
1:15:32
The wild sort of paranoia of just like
1:15:35
woke zombies not doing stuff is just complete
1:15:39
fantasy.
1:15:40
Musk has called the messages a pulse check
1:15:42
suggesting without evidence Without evidence.
1:15:45
Without evidence that taxpayers are paying the salaries
1:15:48
and benefits of phantom employees.
1:15:50
That always happens in government.
1:15:52
It always happens without evidence.
1:15:55
Of course.
1:15:56
Without evidence.
1:15:57
Well let's go to the Doge analysis from
1:16:00
NPR and of course the at sign means
1:16:02
two.
1:16:02
Yeah I gotcha.
1:16:03
I don't know why I keep doing that
1:16:04
but here we go.
1:16:05
Here's Doge analysis.
1:16:08
Yes.
1:16:09
It's exactly what the clip says.
1:16:11
The headlines say new limits on Elon Musk.
1:16:13
And that guy right there.
1:16:16
This guy is so awesome.
1:16:18
I like this guy.
1:16:20
There's a new analysis on Elon Musk.
1:16:22
The headlines say new limits on Elon Musk.
1:16:25
And that President Trump is reigning in Doge.
1:16:28
The president put it in the Oval Office
1:16:30
this week.
1:16:31
Referring to his cabinet secretaries.
1:16:33
So we're going to be watching them and
1:16:35
Elon and the group are going to be
1:16:36
watching them and if they can cut it's
1:16:39
better.
1:16:40
And if they don't cut then Elon will
1:16:42
do the cutting.
1:16:43
NPR senior Washington editor and correspondent Ron Elving
1:16:46
joins us.
1:16:46
Ron thanks for being with us.
1:16:48
Good to be with this guy.
1:16:49
What are we seeing?
1:16:50
Are they putting a leash on that Doge?
1:16:52
It's been seen that way.
1:16:54
When he says it's even better.
1:16:57
Are they putting a leash on that Doge?
1:16:59
What are we seeing?
1:17:00
Are they putting a leash on that Doge?
1:17:02
It's been sold that way.
1:17:04
Like it's Trump siding with his cabinet over
1:17:06
Musk.
1:17:07
But if you listen to that clip we
1:17:09
just heard.
1:17:10
It still seems that Musk gets to come
1:17:12
along batting clean up and deciding whether the
1:17:15
cabinet secretaries and other Senate confirmed officials have
1:17:19
done enough.
1:17:20
So who decides what's enough?
1:17:21
Is it Musk or is it Trump himself?
1:17:24
And do we know whether that's really a
1:17:26
difference?
1:17:27
The New York Times reporters Maggie Haberman and
1:17:29
Jonathan Swan have reported that there have been
1:17:31
clashes between Musk and members of the cabinet
1:17:34
including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Transportation Secretary
1:17:38
Sean Duffy, both of whom were reported to
1:17:40
have been scolded by Musk for not cutting
1:17:42
enough and for having too many DEI hires
1:17:45
still working for their departments.
1:17:50
It's outrageous, I tell you.
1:17:53
Put a leash on that Doge.
1:17:58
I'm no Elon Musk fan, but I kind
1:18:00
of take his side in this.
1:18:03
There's a funny thing before I play the
1:18:05
second clip.
1:18:06
They're trying to slander him as much as
1:18:09
they can.
1:18:09
And the Atlantic is the one that's kind
1:18:12
of a go-to for this sort of
1:18:13
thing.
1:18:13
The Atlantic, which had an article recently on
1:18:17
how if you have your own backyard chickens,
1:18:20
you're losing your ass on the free eggs.
1:18:22
Oh, really?
1:18:24
I would talk about it some other time.
1:18:26
But in that same issue, they had a
1:18:29
report on Musk being a ketamine freak.
1:18:34
Yeah.
1:18:35
So he's like on ketamine.
1:18:37
So he's got that same, you know, Kevin
1:18:40
Rose is a big fan of ketamine.
1:18:42
All these guys are ketamine guys.
1:18:44
And they all end up with that funny
1:18:46
look on their face.
1:18:47
And I realized that, yeah, I guess he
1:18:49
is.
1:18:49
You know who else is on ketamine?
1:18:52
Who?
1:18:53
Professor Scott Galloway.
1:18:55
Oh, that doesn't surprise me.
1:18:57
Yeah, he's also doing the ketamine thing.
1:19:00
And the article talks about how Musk started
1:19:03
using ketamine because he's a depressive.
1:19:07
And it brings you out of depression.
1:19:09
And I think Rose talked about this too.
1:19:11
And then you get locked into this kind
1:19:14
of funny state of mind, which they claim
1:19:16
makes you feel.
1:19:19
And I relate this back to, I think,
1:19:22
the 1981, 1982 era when Time magazine made
1:19:28
cocaine the man of the year.
1:19:30
I missed that one.
1:19:32
And in the article about cocaine, they said
1:19:35
that cocaine makes you feel like you're –
1:19:37
gives you overconfidence.
1:19:39
And it sounds as if the ketamine does
1:19:41
the same thing.
1:19:42
You sound like – you're a world beater.
1:19:45
And as I was reading this, then I
1:19:46
find out that Kevin Rose has restarted Digg.
1:19:52
He's rebooted it.
1:19:53
And I'm thinking, well, that's kind of an
1:19:55
interesting ego thing to do for him.
1:19:59
But with Musk being all jacked up on
1:20:02
ketamine because he's – I guess he's gone
1:20:04
in and out of overusing it, you know,
1:20:06
beyond what he's supposed to.
1:20:09
It's disconcerting.
1:20:10
Well, let's just tell everybody what ketamine is.
1:20:13
Ketamine is a horse tranquilizer.
1:20:15
It's a horse tranquilizer that the zombies like
1:20:18
to use in San Francisco.
1:20:20
It was first – that's when it first
1:20:21
showed up in the news around here where
1:20:23
the fentanyl users would use fentanyl and ketamine.
1:20:28
And you can still see – you can
1:20:29
go drive around San Francisco downtown and see
1:20:32
these guys.
1:20:33
They're kind of hunched over.
1:20:35
Bent over, yeah.
1:20:35
They can't stand completely up straight and they
1:20:39
walk with a stagger, a weird stagger.
1:20:42
And they're just wandering around San Francisco all
1:20:44
over the place and disheveled.
1:20:46
They're disheveled and their clothes are dirty and
1:20:49
their pants are falling off.
1:20:50
And this is the combination of fentanyl and
1:20:53
ketamine, which is called the zombie drug.
1:20:56
I'm not happy about this.
1:20:58
No.
1:20:59
Fentanyl and ketamine is called the breakfast of
1:21:01
champions.
1:21:02
Yes, and you can see the mini champions
1:21:06
roaming around the streets of San Francisco pooping
1:21:09
in the street in the champion way.
1:21:12
But the – so there's a moment in
1:21:14
the ketamine usage where you fall into the
1:21:16
so-called K-hole.
1:21:19
And the K-hole is when you're just
1:21:21
completely immobilized.
1:21:24
And you can see what's going on, but
1:21:25
you can't speak.
1:21:27
You can't move.
1:21:28
You're just in the K-hole.
1:21:29
Yeah, this is not the K-hole itself
1:21:31
as that term is not discussed, but they
1:21:33
do discuss the dissociative characteristics where you dissociate.
1:21:37
In other words, you leave your body.
1:21:38
Yeah, so maybe Elon's in a constant state
1:21:41
of K-hole or on the edge.
1:21:46
Man, just about five lines went by me
1:21:49
that I could have used.
1:21:51
And not a one came out.
1:21:52
What good are you?
1:21:53
Not one came out.
1:21:54
Well, that's because of the daylight savings time.
1:21:57
All right.
1:21:57
That's the reason.
1:21:58
Part two.
1:21:59
Part two.
1:22:00
Is the Department of Government deficiency a potential
1:22:02
political liability for congressional Republicans?
1:22:05
Because after all, federal jobs are getting cut
1:22:07
in their states.
1:22:08
Yes, that's right.
1:22:09
It's not a clear liability yet, at least
1:22:11
not for Republicans in Congress.
1:22:13
Because as we saw on Tuesday night at
1:22:15
the State of the Union, Musk is still
1:22:17
a hero to Trump fans both in Congress
1:22:20
and beyond.
1:22:21
Musk still polls well among Trump supporters.
1:22:25
But the Musk stock may have seen its
1:22:27
peak, Scott.
1:22:27
We will see how the cuts to veterans
1:22:30
affairs staffing, for example, go down with the
1:22:32
families of vets in the care of the
1:22:34
VA.
1:22:34
And we'll also see how much Musk gets
1:22:37
to do with Social Security.
1:22:39
That's the most popular federal program in history
1:22:41
by all measures.
1:22:43
But Musk has compared Social Security to an
1:22:45
illegal private investment swindle.
1:22:47
He did that on Joe Rogan's podcast last
1:22:50
month.
1:22:50
Everybody's got a podcast.
1:22:52
And I bet you that you have that
1:22:54
as an ISO.
1:22:55
You better.
1:22:56
Do you have that as an ISO?
1:22:59
Everybody's got a podcast.
1:23:00
So first of all, he called it a
1:23:02
Ponzi scheme, which it is.
1:23:04
He called it a Ponzi scheme.
1:23:06
It's a Ponzi scheme because they've been stealing
1:23:08
from the fund.
1:23:09
Yeah.
1:23:10
And so just take the money from the
1:23:12
new people and give it to the old
1:23:13
people.
1:23:14
It is a literal Ponzi scheme.
1:23:17
It's not the way it was designed.
1:23:20
No, it's not the way it was designed.
1:23:25
It was designed as a separate fund, an
1:23:28
insurance fund, separate from the basic tax pot
1:23:34
of taxes.
1:23:35
But what they're doing here and they're continuously
1:23:38
scaring Americans with this.
1:23:40
Oh, he's coming for your Social Security.
1:23:43
He's coming for your Medicaid.
1:23:45
Well, the fact is the government got your
1:23:47
Social Security a long time ago.
1:23:48
There is no Social Security unless we keep
1:23:51
making babies and new people to fund the
1:23:54
Social Security so you get your checks.
1:23:56
So that's just not true.
1:23:59
And what is he coming for?
1:24:00
They're always doing this.
1:24:01
You don't want him with your sensitive information,
1:24:04
but everyone gives it to TikTok, to Instagram
1:24:06
and Facebook.
1:24:07
I know, it's ludicrous.
1:24:08
Give me a break.
1:24:10
But it's working.
1:24:11
It's working.
1:24:12
And I feel so bad because we're seeing
1:24:14
the same kind of splits happening in families
1:24:17
and friendships that happened during COVID.
1:24:21
It's exactly the same.
1:24:22
It's not that funny.
1:24:24
It's funny to me.
1:24:25
Yeah, you have no friends.
1:24:27
Do you have family?
1:24:28
I know, I lost all my friends.
1:24:29
You lost all your friends during COVID.
1:24:31
You finally got the Lib Joe's back.
1:24:33
Be careful.
1:24:34
Be careful.
1:24:36
They got the Lib Joe's back barely.
1:24:37
Don't bet with them.
1:24:39
They'll just get mad.
1:24:40
You know, talking about the bet, I hate
1:24:43
to do this to my own son.
1:24:47
What did you do?
1:24:48
I wish people would stop betting with me.
1:24:50
I just don't lose these bets.
1:24:52
You've actually been kind to me and saying,
1:24:55
no, I'm not going to take that bet.
1:24:56
But yet you bet your own flesh and
1:24:58
blood?
1:24:59
What was the bet for?
1:25:00
It was because it was at the dinner
1:25:01
table and everyone witnessed this, and I didn't
1:25:04
look like I was going to be a
1:25:05
weenie and back down from this idiotic bet.
1:25:08
But this is another one of these political
1:25:10
bets.
1:25:11
And this was, I don't know what got
1:25:13
into him because he's a smart kid.
1:25:16
He's like, you know.
1:25:17
Yeah, he's brilliant.
1:25:18
He's brilliant.
1:25:19
He says, and he insisted the bet be
1:25:24
500 bucks.
1:25:24
I think I got you for 500 once.
1:25:28
At least once.
1:25:29
And I told you not to bet anymore.
1:25:31
You wanted to bet five grand or something
1:25:32
ridiculous.
1:25:33
That was on the Facebook stock price, which
1:25:36
you very graciously said, no, I'm not going
1:25:40
to take that bet.
1:25:41
I don't want to take money from a
1:25:42
baby.
1:25:43
And you were right.
1:25:43
It was great.
1:25:44
I appreciate that.
1:25:46
But, well, never mind.
1:25:47
Doesn't matter.
1:25:49
Here's the bet.
1:25:51
J.D. Vance is going to run in
1:25:53
20.
1:25:53
I can't believe this.
1:25:56
Can I get it on the action here?
1:25:58
Is it still time?
1:25:59
You probably could, but I'm not going to
1:26:00
allow it.
1:26:02
J.D. Vance is going to run for
1:26:04
president in 2028, and the vice president is
1:26:08
going to be Trump.
1:26:11
Oh, man.
1:26:12
That's like a Fredericksburg rumor.
1:26:14
Only it used to be the vice president
1:26:16
would be JFK Jr. They've kind of let
1:26:19
that go.
1:26:22
No, he is alive.
1:26:23
I argued with him about the idiocy of
1:26:26
this concept, and he said, no, because then
1:26:29
he talked about the law about getting in
1:26:32
for eight years or whatever, and he went
1:26:35
on and on.
1:26:35
Totally convinced of it.
1:26:36
I have no idea where he got this
1:26:38
from.
1:26:38
He insisted on the bet, and he insisted
1:26:41
on the bet being inflation-proof.
1:26:45
Inflation-proof?
1:26:46
Yes.
1:26:47
In other words, today's 500 bucks, whatever it's
1:26:49
worth in four years, will be what the
1:26:52
total amount of the bet will be.
1:26:54
So he's going to owe me more by
1:26:56
540 bucks or something.
1:26:59
Wow.
1:27:01
Just beyond me.
1:27:02
You've got to stick that kid back in
1:27:04
the womb.
1:27:04
He needs some rebaking.
1:27:05
I don't get it.
1:27:06
He needs rebaking.
1:27:07
That's no good.
1:27:09
And why do these bets come my way
1:27:11
like this?
1:27:12
Because they think they can take money from
1:27:14
an old man, and I learned a long
1:27:16
time ago that's a big mistake.
1:27:18
It's a big mistake.
1:27:19
When it comes to these bets.
1:27:20
Don't try to take money from.
1:27:22
Well, oh, wait.
1:27:23
Oh, that's a very good idea.
1:27:24
Hold on a second.
1:27:26
Hold on.
1:27:26
I'm not going to say it on the
1:27:28
air yet, because I want to make sure
1:27:30
I can get it.
1:27:31
This is a very good idea.
1:27:32
I like this idea.
1:27:34
So we have one more doge clip, which
1:27:36
is just kind of a throwaway.
1:27:38
This is the doge suit and how it's
1:27:42
working backwards.
1:27:44
Okay.
1:27:45
The attorneys general of Washington D.C. and
1:27:47
19 states are suing more than 20 federal
1:27:50
agencies over the firings of probationary employees.
1:27:54
NPR's Andrea Hsu reports.
1:27:56
The Democratic attorneys general argue that federal agencies
1:28:00
falsely told probationary employees they were being fired
1:28:03
because of their performance.
1:28:05
In fact, the states argue the agencies were
1:28:07
trying to shrink their headcount, but they failed
1:28:09
to follow proper procedures for doing so.
1:28:12
Federal law requires agencies to notify states when
1:28:15
laying off 50 or more people so that
1:28:18
states can jump into action and try to
1:28:20
prevent instability throughout the economic region.
1:28:23
States are required to reach out to those
1:28:25
losing their jobs and provide support with the
1:28:27
goal of reducing their reliance on public assistance.
1:28:31
The states have asked the federal court to
1:28:33
reinstate the workers.
1:28:35
So I tried to get Trump, vp.com
1:28:39
already taken.
1:28:42
Let me try Trump, vp, 2028.com.
1:28:45
Oh yeah.
1:28:45
Boom.
1:28:46
Got it.
1:28:48
That'll be worth something.
1:28:50
Probably.
1:28:51
This is, this is if my son has
1:28:54
this in his brain, that means it came.
1:29:00
Yeah.
1:29:00
Trump.
1:29:01
Why is it out there?
1:29:02
Is it people are nuts?
1:29:05
Well, but this is where we're at.
1:29:07
I mean, have you looked at X lately?
1:29:09
I mean, just look at what's going on.
1:29:12
I mean, there's a lot of nutty things
1:29:15
out there right now.
1:29:16
A lot, mainly from Ian, Ian Carroll.
1:29:20
He seems to be the main progenitor.
1:29:22
You've seen Ian Carroll.
1:29:24
You've seen.
1:29:24
Yes.
1:29:24
And here's the, here's an example of what's
1:29:26
on the exit you're talking about.
1:29:27
This is Jasmine Crockett.
1:29:30
Oh gosh.
1:29:32
Okay.
1:29:34
And I have the documentation that she's nuts,
1:29:38
but she's like a leading candidate for president.
1:29:41
Isn't she from Texas?
1:29:42
Yeah.
1:29:42
She's a Texas girl.
1:29:44
Yeah.
1:29:44
All of a sudden she's talking like she's
1:29:46
from the Bronx.
1:29:48
Yeah.
1:29:48
You know, and not only that, but if
1:29:49
people have looked into her background, she was
1:29:52
a privileged black girl.
1:29:53
She went to private schools, finishing school for
1:29:57
all practical purposes.
1:29:58
And then she, but she tries to be
1:29:59
ghetto.
1:30:00
Okay.
1:30:00
City law enforcement, local law enforcement.
1:30:04
They are always going after crime and they
1:30:06
don't say, oh, you committed a murder.
1:30:08
Oh, but you're an immigrant.
1:30:09
Well, let me let you go.
1:30:10
Right?
1:30:10
So they are always focused on crime.
1:30:13
They continue to say things like the illegals
1:30:15
and that they broke the law coming in.
1:30:18
But what they're not telling the American people
1:30:19
is that it is a civil violation.
1:30:21
It is not a criminal violation to enter
1:30:24
the country illegally.
1:30:26
It's not, it's not a criminal it's crime.
1:30:29
It's not a crime, which is why they're
1:30:30
so frustrated because they really want our local
1:30:33
law enforcement to go out and round up
1:30:36
people when they could be looking out for
1:30:38
the murderers and the sexual abusers, as well
1:30:41
as the robbers.
1:30:41
They want them to go and round people
1:30:43
up on civil accusations.
1:30:46
And so that's why I wanted to point
1:30:48
out, don't give me this fake outrage about
1:30:51
criminals roaming our streets.
1:30:53
When you guys stand 10 toes down for
1:30:55
the biggest criminal that we have ever seen
1:30:58
going to the white house.
1:31:00
Well, AOC has a problem as far as
1:31:02
I'm concerned.
1:31:03
That's not AOC.
1:31:04
No, that's I know it's not.
1:31:06
Oh, you mean because of the president theory?
1:31:10
Well, just that she's just, this girl's going
1:31:12
to beat her out.
1:31:13
Just in general.
1:31:13
There's a, there's a new sheriff in town.
1:31:15
AOC is getting tired.
1:31:17
You know, she had a lot going for
1:31:20
her.
1:31:20
I could get clips from her.
1:31:22
She's hanging into her.
1:31:22
I want to just talk about what, what
1:31:24
Jasmine said.
1:31:25
This is bull crap.
1:31:27
Okay.
1:31:29
Really simply be okay.
1:31:31
Now she's right about simply being present in
1:31:33
the U S without papers is a civil
1:31:36
offense.
1:31:37
This is true.
1:31:38
And she's assuming that in other words, you're
1:31:40
a student, you come in, you stay, stay
1:31:42
your visa.
1:31:43
Lots of students have done.
1:31:45
And there's lots of that.
1:31:46
However, I'm going to take this right from
1:31:47
the, from the, from the document here.
1:31:49
However, entering our or entering or reentering the
1:31:53
U S without proper authorization can be criminal.
1:31:56
Specifically eight U S code 1325 makes improper
1:32:00
entry, a misdemeanor, which is a crime punishable
1:32:03
by up to six months in prison and
1:32:06
or a fine, but.
1:32:10
U S code 1326 of section eight or
1:32:14
eight U S code makes it illegal to
1:32:17
enter.
1:32:18
It makes a, it makes it a felony.
1:32:21
If you've been thrown out and then you
1:32:25
come back in.
1:32:26
Yes.
1:32:26
With penalties that can include up to two
1:32:28
years in prison and more under certain circumstances.
1:32:31
So, so she's full of crap though, about
1:32:33
it being civil.
1:32:34
This is misdemeanor and felony, both current criminal.
1:32:38
She's, she's nuts.
1:32:39
And, and people listened.
1:32:41
Oh, okay.
1:32:42
Just look it up.
1:32:43
She's having her moments.
1:32:45
Let her have her moments.
1:32:46
She's having a moment.
1:32:47
No, they're giving her a moment because they,
1:32:50
because she, because I've got no one else.
1:32:52
Good media.
1:32:52
They've got, she's pretty good.
1:32:53
They've got no one else.
1:32:55
Did you see cusses?
1:32:56
She acts ghetto.
1:32:58
Did you see that?
1:32:59
The, the purple witch creep from Connecticut?
1:33:02
Oh, I love her.
1:33:04
She's great for the show, but I don't
1:33:06
know if you can, I have, I pulled
1:33:07
the clip.
1:33:08
It's no good for the show.
1:33:08
Cause you can't see her.
1:33:10
You have to see her.
1:33:10
She looks like an old witch, an old
1:33:13
crone.
1:33:15
Crone.
1:33:16
How do you spell that?
1:33:17
C R O N E.
1:33:19
An old, what is an old crone?
1:33:21
An old crone, a crone.
1:33:23
Oh, that's a, that's a wizened old woman.
1:33:26
That's a, that's supposedly smart.
1:33:29
And, and, but it's, it's a crone.
1:33:31
She's a crone.
1:33:31
She's an old crone.
1:33:32
Her name is Rosa DeLauro.
1:33:36
DeCrone.
1:33:36
She's from New York.
1:33:37
Rosa DeCrone.
1:33:38
She's Connecticut.
1:33:38
She's the Connecticut.
1:33:39
Oh, I'm sorry.
1:33:40
Right.
1:33:40
She's good.
1:33:41
Well, New York, Connecticut.
1:33:42
What difference does it make?
1:33:42
So it's a, it's as if someone went
1:33:45
to the Trump Gen Z group and said,
1:33:48
Hey, tell this lady that she needs to
1:33:51
do her video like this.
1:33:52
And she throws in skibbity and sus and
1:33:56
cringe and the bag.
1:33:58
Yo, this is the ranking Rizzler on appropriations.
1:34:01
The rankling Rizzler.
1:34:03
Serving Connecticut's third district.
1:34:06
It's time to enter your dark academia Congress
1:34:09
era.
1:34:10
All right, besties.
1:34:11
House appropriation is the money moves in Congress.
1:34:14
We are not chasing the bag.
1:34:16
We are the bag.
1:34:18
Democrats are making life smoother for government funding.
1:34:21
It's giving skibbity.
1:34:23
So Sigma main character energy, but Republicans project
1:34:28
2025 is mad sus.
1:34:31
Eliminating the department of education, negative borrow points.
1:34:36
Basically the biggest fandom tax on the environment,
1:34:40
on your education and your rights.
1:34:42
Big L posting it online, buddy.
1:34:45
Democrats understood the assignment, but go off.
1:34:49
See how I keep you informed.
1:34:51
Very cutesy, very demure.
1:34:54
Everybody's trying something.
1:34:57
Everybody's trying to get some kind of viral
1:34:59
moment to become the leader or the front
1:35:02
runner.
1:35:03
I mean, it's wide open.
1:35:04
There's, there's nobody leading the Democrat to become
1:35:07
the leader.
1:35:08
Well, she look at her hair.
1:35:10
Did she expect for people to think that
1:35:11
was a good look?
1:35:13
No.
1:35:14
Now she, she's nuts.
1:35:16
Well, she's deluded.
1:35:18
He makes it so good.
1:35:20
Speaking of, uh, unfortunately people should try to
1:35:23
track that.
1:35:24
They showed it a lot all over the
1:35:25
place.
1:35:26
It's all over the place.
1:35:26
You have to see it to appreciate it.
1:35:28
Yes, this is not a great clip.
1:35:32
Well, the troll room who hadn't heard it,
1:35:35
there were, they liked it.
1:35:37
So speaking of a delusional, um, Rachel Maddow,
1:35:42
sorry.
1:35:42
I actually have two clips today from Rachel
1:35:45
Maddow because, you know, she is back because
1:35:46
she was banned from the show, but she's
1:35:48
here only for a hundred days.
1:35:50
So we, you know, we can, we can
1:35:51
ban her.
1:35:52
She's unbanned temporarily unbanned because she was, she,
1:35:56
she, Hey, Hey, she gets a pardon.
1:36:01
She's getting a part, a temporary pardon, a
1:36:04
temporary protection order from the show.
1:36:06
Uh, she had Elizabeth Warren on and Elizabeth
1:36:10
Warren lays out that, you know, now the
1:36:12
Donald Trump, president Trump and Elon Musk out
1:36:15
there breaking all these laws, which I haven't,
1:36:18
I have yet to understand what laws they've
1:36:20
broken.
1:36:21
Do you have any examples?
1:36:24
They've broken the law of common sense.
1:36:26
Okay.
1:36:28
Um, so there's a strategy here because if
1:36:31
you don't, uh, obey the law as an
1:36:34
underling, as a minion in the swamp, you're
1:36:37
going to go to jail.
1:36:38
What do you make of this big, I
1:36:41
think constitutionally existential question existential question about whether
1:36:46
or not court rulings are going to be
1:36:49
treated as optional, um, by these guys that
1:36:52
they're brazenness.
1:36:53
So, so this is my point.
1:36:56
No one has ignored a court order.
1:36:58
As far as I know, the president keeps
1:37:00
saying, Oh, well, we'll have to go back
1:37:02
and go up to Supreme court.
1:37:03
Yeah.
1:37:03
They're always going to go back and, you
1:37:05
know, yeah, they're going to appeal everything that
1:37:08
happens.
1:37:08
Right.
1:37:09
But what, what Rachel Maddow is setting everybody
1:37:12
up to think that they are ignoring the
1:37:16
law.
1:37:16
And that's where Elizabeth Warren comes in.
1:37:19
Breaking the law, whether it's with the CFPB
1:37:21
or USAID or any of these other things
1:37:23
they're doing seems to be born of a
1:37:25
kind of confidence that can only, was there
1:37:27
any law broken with shutting down USAID or
1:37:31
CFPB?
1:37:32
I don't think so.
1:37:34
Do you know of any law that was
1:37:36
broken?
1:37:37
I think there's some procedural issues that they
1:37:39
could complain about.
1:37:40
You know, people were fired without cause.
1:37:43
It seems in some situations, they got eight
1:37:48
month payout.
1:37:49
Well, that seems like a good deal.
1:37:51
It's a good deal.
1:37:52
I'll take an eight month payout from this
1:37:54
show.
1:37:54
Born of a kind of confidence that can
1:37:57
only come from their expectation that the courts
1:37:59
don't mean much at the end of the
1:38:01
day.
1:38:01
And that illegality is not necessarily a reason
1:38:04
to avoid doing something that they really want
1:38:06
to do.
1:38:06
You're right.
1:38:07
You mean like student debt relief?
1:38:10
Is she talking about like student debt relief?
1:38:12
That the court just said, no, you can't
1:38:14
do this, but Biden did it anyway.
1:38:16
Is that what she's talking about?
1:38:17
That's whataboutism.
1:38:19
Whataboutism.
1:38:19
Stop your whataboutism.
1:38:21
That they really want to do.
1:38:22
You're right.
1:38:23
We've got our toes right on the edge.
1:38:25
Or how about having the federal housing authority
1:38:27
pick up the tab for like something crazy,
1:38:32
like a trillion dollars worth of mortgages that
1:38:34
are delinquent.
1:38:36
Have you heard about that?
1:38:38
I think I did.
1:38:40
Yeah.
1:38:40
Some guy with a video going around about
1:38:42
it.
1:38:42
I'm like, that's, that's pretty bad.
1:38:44
Right on the edge of a constitutional crisis.
1:38:49
But here's the thing.
1:38:51
It may be the case that Donald Trump
1:38:54
is so full of confidence that he thinks
1:38:56
he can wave his wand and whatever he
1:38:59
wants to happen will happen.
1:39:00
And in many cases, he will be right.
1:39:03
For example, the Republicans in the Senate, just
1:39:06
go ahead and confirm people for jobs that
1:39:09
they know they are not qualified for.
1:39:12
So they will kowtow to him.
1:39:14
But I don't think that's going to happen
1:39:15
with the courts.
1:39:16
And here's the next part.
1:39:18
They may not be able to force Donald
1:39:19
Trump to do something, but Donald Trump isn't
1:39:22
actually the guy who puts in the orders
1:39:25
and cuts people's paychecks.
1:39:27
There's somebody else in the system who does
1:39:29
that.
1:39:30
And they're a click down from Donald Trump
1:39:32
and a click down from that and a
1:39:33
click down from that.
1:39:35
And when a federal court issues an order
1:39:38
and then gets people in front of them
1:39:41
and says, you either follow that order or
1:39:43
find yourself in contempt.
1:39:46
Now we're going to see whether or not
1:39:48
those are people who are going to say,
1:39:50
oh, but Donald Trump told me and a
1:39:52
judge is going to say, I don't care
1:39:53
what Donald Trump told you.
1:39:54
I'm telling you what the law is.
1:39:57
You follow the law.
1:39:59
All hypothetical.
1:40:02
And if what she says is true, then
1:40:04
who cares?
1:40:06
Yeah.
1:40:07
Then what's the big deal, Rachel?
1:40:09
What's the big deal?
1:40:10
Yeah.
1:40:10
Then we're good to go.
1:40:12
Yeah.
1:40:12
It sounds like it to me.
1:40:13
I don't see what the problem is.
1:40:16
A lot of protests.
1:40:17
By the way, the Fredericksburg 50, they were
1:40:20
also protesting against Elon and Tesla.
1:40:25
And, oh yeah, you got to protest against
1:40:27
Tesla.
1:40:28
Although weren't there revenues up that I read
1:40:32
something that they actually had a pretty good
1:40:34
quarterly.
1:40:35
Well, they have a lot of international sales
1:40:37
is a big deal.
1:40:38
Yeah.
1:40:39
But the, the, the, the big problem is
1:40:42
the scientists, the scientists, you know, funding is
1:40:44
getting cut everywhere.
1:40:46
They're not, they're not getting to do all
1:40:48
their projects, which of course comes from the
1:40:52
transgender mice story.
1:40:54
That was quite interesting.
1:40:56
When I was a kid in the olden
1:40:57
days, there were places like bell labs, these
1:41:01
corporations that have their own damn research.
1:41:03
They didn't rely on government handouts to do
1:41:06
fake research.
1:41:07
Why, why did that, how did that change?
1:41:10
Don't these corporations and these high paid CEOs,
1:41:14
shouldn't they take some of that money and
1:41:15
put it into R and D?
1:41:17
No, that's all the universities.
1:41:18
The universities get all that money.
1:41:20
The universities provide the lab and then the
1:41:22
grants go to the scientists.
1:41:24
And they were out protesting hundreds were standing
1:41:27
up for science because if standing up for
1:41:31
science, because if the funding goes away, well,
1:41:34
all hell's going to break loose.
1:41:36
Scientists and researchers from institutions across the front
1:41:40
range, making time to leave their workplaces on
1:41:43
Friday and rallying for science funding at the
1:41:46
state Capitol.
1:41:47
Science is factual and it saves lives.
1:41:50
It's very cathartic to be out here screaming
1:41:53
at the top of our lungs.
1:41:54
It feeds researchers.
1:41:56
It feels cathartic to be out here screaming
1:41:58
at the top of our lungs.
1:42:00
that's cool.
1:42:01
Wasn't it, wasn't there like a, I think
1:42:04
a role thing or something used to be
1:42:06
a role, a therapy, a role thing, role
1:42:09
thing.
1:42:09
Yeah, it was a role thing.
1:42:11
You yell at the top of your lungs
1:42:13
and you felt good.
1:42:14
Well, no, I think role thing is also
1:42:15
they do.
1:42:16
Well, you scream at the top of your
1:42:17
lungs while they're putting their knuckles in your
1:42:19
back.
1:42:19
I think there was a two-parter on
1:42:21
that.
1:42:21
I think that was a massage parlor.
1:42:23
I've heard of it.
1:42:24
It's factual and it saves lives.
1:42:26
It's very cathartic to be out here screaming
1:42:29
at the top of our lungs.
1:42:30
These researchers from CU Anschutz say every day
1:42:34
feels like they're in limbo.
1:42:36
Last month, the federal judge temporarily blocked a
1:42:39
Trump administration policy that would significantly lower the
1:42:43
agency's funding for major research institutions, more specifically
1:42:48
limiting NIH research funding for overhead expenses that
1:42:53
make their work possible.
1:42:55
Those court ordered restrictions fall by the wayside.
1:42:59
We will be doomed within a matter of
1:43:01
weeks.
1:43:02
The cuts would eliminate a total of nearly
1:43:04
$90 million in NIH funding at CSU, CU
1:43:09
Anschutz and CU Boulder.
1:43:11
These scientists say the impacts to research in
1:43:14
Colorado would be huge.
1:43:17
So you're not getting the future training for
1:43:19
future scientists and researchers, but you're also not
1:43:22
going to be making the discoveries that allow
1:43:24
us to improve health and allow us to
1:43:26
identify those new targets and new biomarkers and
1:43:29
new drugs, new drugs.
1:43:31
We won't have new drugs that save lives.
1:43:34
Pharmaceutical companies are supposed to invest in research
1:43:37
and development for new drugs.
1:43:38
They do big pharma.
1:43:39
What does it got to do with you?
1:43:41
No, they do after, after you create the
1:43:43
drug, the new drugs, then pharma, you know,
1:43:46
pays you handsomely with a, you know, you
1:43:48
get a nice little residual and then they
1:43:50
pay you to promote it in your white
1:43:52
lab coat.
1:43:52
I am generalizing, of course.
1:43:56
Yeah.
1:43:56
And, and even, and man, this was, this
1:44:00
is on, on par with the, with the
1:44:02
Connecticut, which former NIH director Francis Collins probably
1:44:08
got this clip, probably as much responsible for
1:44:11
the COVID for prolonging.
1:44:13
Should probably be in jail.
1:44:14
Yeah.
1:44:14
Yeah, probably.
1:44:17
That guy's just no good.
1:44:19
And I remember during COVID, he was out
1:44:21
there with his guitar and then he and
1:44:22
his wife were singing puff the magic dragon
1:44:25
songs.
1:44:26
You remember that?
1:44:27
Oh yeah.
1:44:28
Wait, do we still have that?
1:44:29
Let me see.
1:44:31
Let me see if we still have that.
1:44:32
Yeah.
1:44:32
He likes to play the guitar, that guy,
1:44:35
but he only plays folk songs.
1:44:38
Yeah.
1:44:38
Cause he, yeah, because he's only five chords.
1:44:40
He needs to know.
1:44:41
And he just plays them and sings off
1:44:43
key.
1:44:44
That's what folk folk song is today.
1:44:46
Well, here he is at the standup for
1:44:48
science rally.
1:44:49
Noble dream.
1:44:51
You got that.
1:44:51
So it's just all the good people, but
1:44:53
the second line, part of this family and
1:44:55
the last line, we're joined together by this
1:44:57
noble dream.
1:44:59
Do that with me.
1:45:00
This is a song for all the good
1:45:04
people.
1:45:04
Come on.
1:45:06
Don't eat the brown acid.
1:45:08
We're part of this family.
1:45:10
This is a song for all the good
1:45:14
people.
1:45:15
We're joined together by this noble dream.
1:45:20
Well, this is a song for all of
1:45:25
those dreamers.
1:45:26
We're looking for answers to come our way.
1:45:31
Scientists, doctors, students, sharing the hopes for a
1:45:39
much brighter.
1:45:46
I got to stop that.
1:45:47
It's too much.
1:45:48
It's too much.
1:45:50
Well, that will stop.
1:45:51
That will show Trump.
1:45:53
Yeah.
1:45:54
I'll stop.
1:45:55
That'll show him bastard.
1:45:57
There is one thing that I found quite
1:45:59
interesting after, after this, the state of the
1:46:03
not state of the union speech that the
1:46:04
president did.
1:46:06
He, man, David wickers texting me.
1:46:12
He, he, so he discussed the research for
1:46:17
transgender mice.
1:46:18
Now, technically what the re the $8 million
1:46:22
for transgender mice, technically, it was to test
1:46:27
the response to mice being transitioned with either
1:46:33
testosterone or estrogen.
1:46:34
And different puberty blockers, et cetera.
1:46:39
But you could kind of say that's, you
1:46:42
know, testing transgender mice, but that then got
1:46:45
a big lie came out.
1:46:48
Oh no, they read that wrong.
1:46:50
Doge read it wrong.
1:46:51
It's, it's a trend trends.
1:46:54
What was it?
1:46:56
Transgenetic, whatever.
1:46:59
But the, so CNN was out there saying
1:47:02
this for about a week.
1:47:03
Oh, he lied.
1:47:04
It's not, they misread it.
1:47:05
They don't know the difference between transgender and
1:47:08
transgenetic.
1:47:09
Hmm.
1:47:10
But they had to go back and correct
1:47:12
that they fact checked it.
1:47:15
And CNN published that.
1:47:16
Oh, then, you know, I don't think they
1:47:18
said it on the air.
1:47:19
So we were wrong about that, but the
1:47:22
president wasn't right either because they wasn't really
1:47:25
transgender mice.
1:47:26
Like that's the thing, but they were testing
1:47:28
puberty blockers and other transgender transitioning drugs on
1:47:33
the mice.
1:47:34
So you can hear this now take place.
1:47:38
Axelrod was on the panel with Van Jones
1:47:40
and Scott Jennings and Scott Jennings even says
1:47:43
as Van Jones, because he wasn't read in
1:47:45
on it because he's still hanging out with
1:47:47
this a hundred million dollars from Bezos doing
1:47:50
whatever.
1:47:51
He has no time to follow everything.
1:47:53
Didn't get the briefing.
1:47:56
He's like, and the Jennings actually says, what
1:48:01
were we told to say then?
1:48:03
Because Scott Jennings knows the initial blush of,
1:48:06
of, of Musk with his chainsaw may have
1:48:10
had some resonance.
1:48:11
These, the fact that he's cutting down stuff
1:48:13
indiscriminately less.
1:48:15
So, well, it's not all indiscriminate.
1:48:17
I mean, we don't really need the transgender
1:48:18
mice, do we?
1:48:19
I mean, it is real.
1:48:21
I'm sorry, man.
1:48:22
It's real.
1:48:24
No, hold on a second.
1:48:25
Did we, did we have to, did we
1:48:26
have to say it was real or not?
1:48:28
No, no, it's real.
1:48:29
I mean, Musk was a real thing.
1:48:31
So listen, they weren't talking about trans.
1:48:35
Don't get in the mice.
1:48:36
No, no, listen, you don't want to talk
1:48:39
about it.
1:48:40
We don't talk about it, but it wasn't
1:48:42
transgender.
1:48:42
It was a different term that was misinterpreted
1:48:44
as transgender.
1:48:45
They were actually trying to do doing basic
1:48:47
medical experiment on mice to figure out don't
1:48:49
spoil a good troll.
1:48:51
Having a good troll.
1:48:53
Don't spoil it.
1:48:54
Here's the point.
1:48:55
They have found some things.
1:48:56
Yes.
1:48:57
And there you go.
1:48:58
So Van Jones, it's a different term, but
1:49:00
he didn't know the term.
1:49:02
Stop counting your money, Van.
1:49:04
Can you believe the basis?
1:49:05
You got a hundred million bucks out of
1:49:07
the blue.
1:49:07
You got to spend all your time money
1:49:09
managing after that.
1:49:10
It's so annoying to read the newspaper.
1:49:13
Even so annoying.
1:49:14
I have no more time to do anything
1:49:15
else.
1:49:16
I'm counting the money.
1:49:17
It's a problem.
1:49:21
Who gave this was, I think this was
1:49:25
clip custodian or his brother gave me this
1:49:27
clip.
1:49:29
The last time a president tried to undo
1:49:32
the department of education was Ronald Reagan.
1:49:36
And meet the press brought up an old
1:49:39
clip from his, from his Doge guy.
1:49:42
President Trump is considering an executive order, which
1:49:45
would abolish the department of education.
1:49:47
Though as a federal department, it cannot be
1:49:50
eliminated without congressional approval.
1:49:53
But Mr. Trump is not the first president
1:49:55
to push for its removal.
1:49:57
Ronald Reagan also tried to scrap the education
1:50:00
department, but he later backed down citing lack
1:50:03
of support in Congress.
1:50:04
Reagan's education secretary, William Bennett joined meet the
1:50:07
press to explain.
1:50:09
As I've said to conservatives in the past
1:50:11
six months, if we're elected, we ought to
1:50:13
govern and we ought to govern aggressively.
1:50:15
The president, you know, nine months ago said
1:50:17
he changed his mind about the department.
1:50:19
He said he didn't think we needed to
1:50:20
get rid of it anymore.
1:50:21
He said it wasn't bothering anybody anymore.
1:50:23
I would say now it's bothering the right
1:50:25
people.
1:50:26
You have said though, that sometimes Republicans seem
1:50:28
to think that you just don't need to
1:50:30
spend money on education.
1:50:31
What did you mean by that?
1:50:33
Well, we are as a nation going to
1:50:35
spend more money.
1:50:35
Americans like to spend more money on education.
1:50:38
And when we put forward our budget proposals
1:50:40
and admittedly, on some occasions we asked for
1:50:42
reductions, Congress just rejected them out of hand.
1:50:45
American people want to spend more, but what
1:50:47
we know is it's not the spending more.
1:50:48
It's what you spend it on.
1:50:50
And if we spend it on the right
1:50:51
things in those inner cities and those poor
1:50:53
schools, we'll get results.
1:50:54
If we spend it on the wrong things,
1:50:55
what the special interests want us to do,
1:50:57
we're not going to get anywhere.
1:50:59
Well, should be interesting to see what happens.
1:51:04
Does, does Al Green tell you what's going
1:51:06
to happen?
1:51:07
Nothing's going to happen.
1:51:08
Well, that's what you said about Doge and
1:51:10
things have happened.
1:51:11
More has happened.
1:51:12
I was skeptical.
1:51:14
I'm not going to deny it, but I'm
1:51:17
glad that things are happening, but still there's
1:51:19
a lot of pushback.
1:51:20
And I think they got to go back
1:51:22
to finding these stupid programs and then exposing
1:51:24
them, which is what Rand Paul's been doing
1:51:27
this for decades.
1:51:29
Yeah.
1:51:30
Yeah.
1:51:30
He, he votes up every year and he,
1:51:32
and he gets no credit.
1:51:34
I tried to get ahold of his office
1:51:36
to get some comment on this.
1:51:37
He's not going to talk to a podcaster.
1:51:40
He's not going to know.
1:51:40
He, you can't even get through to his
1:51:43
chief of staff.
1:51:44
It's, it's one of those operations that did
1:51:46
Mike Lee's got one of these two, these
1:51:48
guys, they're, they're basically cut themselves off from
1:51:51
the public.
1:51:51
They don't want, they're, they're disdainful of any
1:51:54
discussion or back and forth with the public
1:51:57
as opposed to other people.
1:51:58
I've run into these, these offices.
1:52:00
They'd be glad to help you, but these
1:52:02
guys won't help.
1:52:03
So instead of getting any kind of credit,
1:52:06
Rand Paul is getting nothing.
1:52:08
He's a, he's a dipshit the way I
1:52:10
see it.
1:52:11
Did you, did you call him?
1:52:12
He's been doing the same thing for all
1:52:14
these years.
1:52:14
Did you call like a Kentucky accent and
1:52:17
say you were constituent?
1:52:20
I couldn't.
1:52:21
Do you want to hear the story?
1:52:23
Yeah, of course.
1:52:24
Okay.
1:52:24
So they, everything you, if you call his
1:52:26
office, you always go, everything goes to the
1:52:28
voicemail.
1:52:28
If you're a member of the record, these,
1:52:30
by the way, you need to, this is
1:52:31
show material that you're just throwing away by
1:52:33
not recording it.
1:52:34
I agree.
1:52:36
So you can be, if you're media.
1:52:38
So I have the media line.
1:52:39
So I call the media line.
1:52:40
It says, okay, leave your message.
1:52:42
Uh, and tell us when you leave a
1:52:45
number, call back, tell you what the calls
1:52:47
about.
1:52:47
So yeah, I'm John C.
1:52:48
Dvorak and I'm click.
1:52:50
It's a wait, wait.
1:52:51
Hello.
1:52:53
Is this thing on?
1:52:55
It's that old coot again.
1:52:57
Hang up.
1:52:58
No, it's just a machine itself.
1:53:00
They won't take the call.
1:53:01
It's just like, it's, you can tell they
1:53:03
don't.
1:53:04
It's the thing.
1:53:04
Well, it doesn't give you enough time to
1:53:06
even put a phone number in.
1:53:08
Wow.
1:53:10
So that was it.
1:53:10
Yeah.
1:53:10
You gave up after that.
1:53:13
I give up quick.
1:53:15
You called them.
1:53:16
I supposed to do.
1:53:16
I banged my head against the wall to
1:53:17
give somebody some free publicity.
1:53:19
Forget it.
1:53:19
They get their own damn publicity.
1:53:21
Well, okay.
1:53:23
Do you have a phone patch?
1:53:24
Because you definitely need a phone patch.
1:53:26
You need to patch that thing in man,
1:53:27
just so you can get a zoom and
1:53:28
just connected so you can just record whenever
1:53:31
we're always missing the cool scam calls.
1:53:34
The all the, I guess I'm great ones.
1:53:36
Yeah, but not recorded.
1:53:37
You have nothing recorded.
1:53:38
This is, this is a problem.
1:53:40
Uh, there's no, I'm a slouch.
1:53:42
Yes.
1:53:43
Um, okay.
1:53:44
I'm going to violate my rule for the
1:53:47
second time just because it was so awesome
1:53:50
and it's a bit of a throwback to
1:53:51
the show back to 2015 as president Trump
1:53:55
signed the executive order to create the strategic
1:53:59
Bitcoin reserve.
1:54:01
Um, here is the misinformation from Rachel Maddow.
1:54:05
I should say I am by no means
1:54:07
a crypto expert.
1:54:08
I'm not going to give you a lecture
1:54:09
on blockchain or coins or any of that.
1:54:13
I just, Hey, I don't know.
1:54:14
And be, I don't care.
1:54:16
but I do think it's worth looking at
1:54:18
this thing a little bit.
1:54:19
So if you're going to start off by
1:54:21
telling everyone you don't know what you're talking
1:54:23
about, you know, how does that compelling TV
1:54:27
radio or whatever?
1:54:29
How's it compelling?
1:54:30
Hey, Adam, I don't know anything about this
1:54:32
topic, but I'm going to pontificate.
1:54:34
If both of us were making $25 million
1:54:37
a year, I'd be like, I don't care.
1:54:39
Pontificate away.
1:54:40
I'm good to go.
1:54:41
Whatever you want to say.
1:54:42
You got me.
1:54:42
Yeah.
1:54:43
I don't care.
1:54:44
Um, but I do think it's worth looking
1:54:46
at this crypto thing a little bit only
1:54:47
because it is a deeply, deeply old fashioned,
1:54:51
simple scam at this point, which points right
1:54:54
to the white house news from the white
1:54:55
house tonight really gives us no choice.
1:54:57
You have to look at it.
1:54:58
Hopefully the broad strokes of crypto trading are
1:55:01
not complicated.
1:55:02
It's, it's like when there was the beanie
1:55:04
baby craze in the late nineties, people started
1:55:05
buying these stuffed animals, right?
1:55:09
So she is now about 10 years after
1:55:12
us.
1:55:12
When we first saw Bitcoin, we all said
1:55:14
beanie babies, beanie babies years ago, at least.
1:55:18
Yeah.
1:55:18
That's what I'm saying.
1:55:19
Kind of inherently not worth much, but people
1:55:22
were speculating on them, right?
1:55:24
It was a beanie baby trading bubble other
1:55:26
than maybe some emotional value.
1:55:29
If you had one as a child, beanie
1:55:31
babies didn't have much inherent value.
1:55:33
And when I mentioned that the news tonight
1:55:35
leaves us not too much, not much choice,
1:55:37
but to, but to talk about this stuff
1:55:38
right now, this is what I mean.
1:55:39
The white house just posted this video tonight
1:55:42
of Donald Trump signing an executive order establishing
1:55:46
a digital Fort Knox, as someone says to
1:55:51
the president off camera, Trump apparently signing this
1:55:55
executive order, creating what they're describing as a
1:55:57
federal government cryptocurrency reserve.
1:56:02
Now imagine the beanie babies again for a
1:56:04
second.
1:56:05
Imagine Trump had just announced that the U
1:56:07
S government was going to just cannot get
1:56:11
cheap talks too much.
1:56:14
Hey, for $25 million, I'll talk up a
1:56:18
storm.
1:56:18
And imagine Trump had just announced that the
1:56:20
U S government was going to buy up
1:56:24
tons of beanie babies.
1:56:26
No, we're going to establish a federal government
1:56:29
reserve of billions of beanie babies.
1:56:32
What do you think would happen to the
1:56:34
value of beanie babies?
1:56:36
Right?
1:56:36
Oh, it turns out there's a huge guaranteed
1:56:39
buyer for these things.
1:56:41
They're buying billions of them.
1:56:43
Okay.
1:56:43
So the point here being that she's really
1:56:46
full of crap because there is no billions
1:56:49
of Bitcoin being bought by the federal government,
1:56:52
quite the opposite actually.
1:56:54
And, uh, the scam, if it was a
1:56:56
scam, worked out really great as Bitcoin has
1:56:59
dropped down to 83,000 let's back up.
1:57:03
Uh, no, it's, it's, it's back down.
1:57:06
It's up and down, up and down.
1:57:07
But it was, it was close to 108
1:57:10
,000.
1:57:11
It dropped down after, you know, it took
1:57:13
too long.
1:57:14
Cause of course everyone's in on the scam.
1:57:16
It took too long for the strategic Bitcoin
1:57:19
reserve.
1:57:19
And now Trump came out with a meme
1:57:21
coin.
1:57:21
Oh no.
1:57:22
And now it's down below 85,000.
1:57:25
And there's good reasons for that because a
1:57:27
lot of people were stupid and believed exactly
1:57:30
what Rachel Maddow said, that there will be
1:57:32
a strategic Bitcoin reserve and the government be
1:57:35
using your tax dollars to buy more Bitcoin
1:57:38
and nothing could be further from the truth.
1:57:39
And I think it's actually a great executive
1:57:41
order.
1:57:42
And here's his announcement of it during the
1:57:45
crypto crypto conference.
1:57:47
Yesterday I signed an executive order officially creating
1:57:50
our strategic Bitcoin reserve.
1:57:54
And this will be a virtual Fort Knox
1:57:57
for digital gold to be housed within the
1:57:59
United States treasury.
1:58:01
That's a big thing.
1:58:04
The federal government is already among the largest
1:58:07
holders of Bitcoin, as you know, uh, really
1:58:11
one of the largest holders in the world
1:58:13
with as many as 200,000 Bitcoin obtained
1:58:17
via civil law and various other forms of
1:58:20
law and including enforcement actions.
1:58:24
These existing holdings will form the foundation of
1:58:26
the new reserve.
1:58:28
The treasury and commerce departments will also explore
1:58:32
new pathways to accumulate additional Bitcoin holdings for
1:58:35
the reserve, provided it's done at no cost
1:58:38
to the taxpayers.
1:58:39
We don't want any cost to the taxpayers.
1:58:41
Now, this of course, was not the actual
1:58:43
big news from this round table, which I
1:58:46
will play in a moment.
1:58:48
But just briefly on the executive order, I
1:58:50
like the fact that it starts off with
1:58:52
the background saying Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency.
1:58:55
The Bitcoin protocol permanently caps the total supply
1:58:58
of Bitcoin at 21 million coins and has
1:59:01
never been hacked.
1:59:02
As a result of its scarcity and security,
1:59:04
Bitcoin is often referred to as digital gold.
1:59:07
And then it says, because there's a fixed
1:59:09
supply of Bitcoin, there's a strategic advantage to
1:59:11
being among the first nations to create a
1:59:13
strategic Bitcoin reserve.
1:59:15
Then the executive order is very clear that
1:59:18
no Bitcoin will be purchased.
1:59:22
If any Bitcoin is acquired, it has to
1:59:25
be budget neutral.
1:59:27
Now, that doesn't mean that you can't say,
1:59:31
hey, I'm going to fine you, company, Apple,
1:59:35
whatever, Google, they fine people all the time,
1:59:38
pay it to us in Bitcoin or any
1:59:42
other way.
1:59:43
But that really was so anybody who was
1:59:46
gambling on that to be a big catalyst
1:59:48
was very short sighted and just got caught
1:59:51
up in hype.
1:59:52
The real news came from Scott Besant, our
1:59:57
openly gay Treasury secretary.
1:59:59
How come they don't mention that?
2:00:01
That's mentioned now and again.
2:00:03
Not really.
2:00:04
Well, they don't push it because it's a
2:00:06
Demi, because it's because it's a Republican and
2:00:09
gay can't have the gays thinking that they
2:00:12
could be Republicans.
2:00:13
We want to keep them on the Democrat
2:00:14
side.
2:00:14
So don't talk about if you're in the
2:00:16
media, you're talking about him being gay.
2:00:17
You're doing the wrong thing.
2:00:19
You're not helping.
2:00:19
You're not helping at all.
2:00:22
Exactly.
2:00:23
But here was the big news, as far
2:00:24
as I'm concerned.
2:00:25
Much of Treasury's responsibility in this order relates
2:00:28
to the tax code and determinations around risk
2:00:31
weightings.
2:00:32
And I'm here to assure you that we
2:00:34
are going to work with the control of
2:00:36
the currency, the IRS, and we're going to
2:00:39
rescind and amend all applicable previous guidance.
2:00:43
OK, so that was kind of hard to
2:00:45
hear in the second part.
2:00:46
I hear it.
2:00:46
Well, he was he's saying we're going to
2:00:48
change the tax code, which a lot of
2:00:50
people think means that there may not be
2:00:53
capital gains on selling your Bitcoin.
2:00:55
I'm skeptical of that.
2:00:57
But here, hopefully you can hear this next
2:00:58
part.
2:00:59
And we are going to put a lot
2:01:00
of thought into the stablecoin regime.
2:01:03
And as President Trump has directed, we are
2:01:07
going to keep the U.S., the dominant
2:01:09
reserve currency in the world.
2:01:11
And we will use stablecoins to do that.
2:01:14
A trillion dollar coin.
2:01:17
Exactly as I predicted.
2:01:19
Yeah, you've been I have to say you've
2:01:20
kind of even though you don't have it.
2:01:22
I'm going to hate to use this word
2:01:24
sussed.
2:01:26
Since you brought it up earlier out completely,
2:01:30
I think you're right.
2:01:31
Yeah, they're going to they're going to.
2:01:33
No, I do have it.
2:01:34
And by the way, talking about openly gay.
2:01:36
Tammy Bruce is now in the administration.
2:01:38
You know, she is the spokeshole for State
2:01:41
Department.
2:01:43
She's the state or defense.
2:01:44
No, I think state.
2:01:45
She's the new Psaki or she defend.
2:01:47
Maybe she is defense.
2:01:49
It's one of the but she's openly gay.
2:01:51
Yeah, it's crazy.
2:01:53
LGBTQ rights being violated again.
2:01:56
Not to be held back.
2:01:59
Fifi Lagarde came out president of the European
2:02:02
Central Bank and in as much announced the
2:02:06
digital euro coming this October.
2:02:09
On your second point, I tend to share
2:02:11
your views.
2:02:12
Nature doesn't like vacuum.
2:02:15
And we start.
2:02:16
She is a robot.
2:02:17
Started working on the digital euro way back.
2:02:21
Actually, when I started my term five and
2:02:24
a half years ago, and I'm not claiming,
2:02:26
you know, parental parentality on.
2:02:30
She's totally claiming parental rights to it.
2:02:32
The digital euro, because my colleague, Benoit Curie,
2:02:35
had already committed a speech on this matter
2:02:37
before I arrived.
2:02:38
But I certainly carried on with that project.
2:02:43
And subsequently, Fabio Panetta on the board and
2:02:47
then Polanyi, who has.
2:02:51
OK, we get it.
2:02:52
You did it.
2:02:52
You're the best.
2:02:53
Fabio have taken the lead together with a
2:02:57
very, very good team, which is focused on
2:03:01
accelerating the pace and hopefully campaigning enough with
2:03:07
all the stakeholders, meaning European Parliament, meaning European
2:03:12
Council, meaning European Commission, so that we can
2:03:16
eventually, you know, not put to bed, but
2:03:18
put to reality this digital euro.
2:03:22
The deadline for us is going to be
2:03:24
October of 25.
2:03:26
And we are getting ready for that deadline.
2:03:29
But we will not be able to move
2:03:31
unless the other parties, the stakeholders, as I
2:03:34
call them, Commission, Council and Parliament, actually complete
2:03:39
the legislative process, without which we will not
2:03:42
be able to move.
2:03:43
And I think it is critically important.
2:03:45
And it seems to the agnostic or the
2:03:48
sceptics, it seems to be more relevant and
2:03:52
more of an imperative now than ever before,
2:03:55
both on the wholesale and on the retail
2:03:57
level, both.
2:03:59
So I'm thinking, since this is a central
2:04:02
bank digital currency, that's how the EU is
2:04:05
going to finance their weapons industry.
2:04:09
Just make a whole bunch of these digital
2:04:11
things.
2:04:15
This is a house of cards.
2:04:18
Yes, of course it is.
2:04:20
The whole thing is, well, by the way,
2:04:23
you have so much digital, your savings is
2:04:27
going to be digital.
2:04:29
So I'm going to have $100,000 in
2:04:31
the bank, let's say I'm a rich person
2:04:32
living in France, and the next thing you
2:04:34
know, I've got $50,000.
2:04:36
What happened to the rest of it?
2:04:37
Well, you're helping Ukraine.
2:04:41
It's for the good of the country.
2:04:43
Do you want war or do you want
2:04:44
$50,000?
2:04:45
Wasn't it Cyprus that had all this digital
2:04:48
thing, and they just took everyone's money?
2:04:50
Okay, all the savings accounts and everybody that
2:04:52
lives here, half of your money is gone.
2:04:55
That was the Russians.
2:04:56
The Russians did that, didn't they?
2:04:58
I think the Russians closed it down.
2:05:01
I don't know who did it, but I
2:05:02
do remember it happening.
2:05:03
It was just like, well, what are you
2:05:04
going to do about it?
2:05:05
What happened to my money?
2:05:08
It's gone.
2:05:09
We took it.
2:05:10
I want it back.
2:05:12
And it's gone.
2:05:13
It's like that star at the South Park.
2:05:14
And it's gone.
2:05:16
It's like you don't get it back.
2:05:18
This is the way it is.
2:05:19
This is by law.
2:05:21
It's going to be interesting.
2:05:23
Rachel Maddow could have talked about the stable
2:05:25
coins as Beanie Babies.
2:05:27
I would have been in on that.
2:05:28
That would have been better than what she
2:05:29
did.
2:05:30
Well, she said herself that she doesn't know
2:05:32
what she's talking about.
2:05:33
So there you have it.
2:05:34
And with that, I'd like to thank you
2:05:36
for your courage.
2:05:36
And see you in the morning.
2:05:37
To you, the man who put the sea
2:05:38
in Krone.
2:05:39
Say hello to my friend on the other
2:05:41
end, the one, the only, Mr. John C.
2:05:43
DeMora.
2:05:47
Wow, in the morning to you, Mr. Alan
2:05:49
McCurry.
2:05:49
Also in the morning, all ships and sea
2:05:50
boots on the ground, feeding the air, subs
2:05:52
in the water.
2:05:53
And all the dames and knights out there.
2:05:55
In the morning to the trolls in the
2:05:56
troll room.
2:05:56
Let me count you for a second.
2:06:01
All right, 2,452.
2:06:05
I think that is a little below our
2:06:07
recent average.
2:06:09
Yeah, for a weekend.
2:06:10
Because it's because we expected a blurt.
2:06:13
A blurt, yes.
2:06:15
And we got nothing.
2:06:16
Well, I mean, no, we didn't.
2:06:18
Oh, the average chart is not loading.
2:06:21
Cotton gin.
2:06:21
Oh man, I hate it when that happens.
2:06:24
Yeah, we expected a blurt.
2:06:26
Didn't really.
2:06:27
I mean, and you know what?
2:06:28
Oh, here we go.
2:06:29
The average Sunday last show was 2,759.
2:06:33
The last 10 shows, 2,551.
2:06:36
So we're below the average.
2:06:38
We're below the average for the last 10
2:06:39
shows.
2:06:39
Well, of course, you'd be going offline for
2:06:42
a long time.
2:06:43
It could have hurt some of that.
2:06:44
Yeah, I'm sure.
2:06:45
And I'm sorry.
2:06:46
I'm sorry, man.
2:06:48
Is that Australian?
2:06:49
We'll put an asterisk.
2:06:51
That's the Australian gear I've got.
2:06:53
You know, it's like it's made in Australia.
2:06:55
Who knows?
2:06:56
Yeah, by Elmer Fudd.
2:06:57
You get what you pay for.
2:07:01
Anyway, those trolls are here to listen to
2:07:06
the show live.
2:07:07
And I think a lot of the trolls
2:07:08
actually enjoy when it goes wrong.
2:07:12
You know, I know Mimi hates it.
2:07:13
But everybody else seems to like it.
2:07:15
Oh, this is funny.
2:07:16
It's not working.
2:07:18
You're in denial of the lower numbers.
2:07:21
What do you mean?
2:07:22
The good numbers.
2:07:23
Not everybody must like it because the numbers
2:07:25
have fallen off from the average of 25
2:07:27
to 24.
2:07:28
No, that has to do with your newsletter.
2:07:30
It has nothing to do with me going
2:07:33
offline.
2:07:34
The trolls listen at trollroom.io. They also
2:07:37
can listen on a modern podcast app.
2:07:40
Today, I'm going to say that a good
2:07:42
one to try is Castamatic if you're using
2:07:46
an iPhone.
2:07:47
Castamatic is a very nice iPhone app.
2:07:50
You can find many of those modern apps
2:07:52
at podcastapps.com.
2:07:53
The good thing about these podcast apps is
2:07:55
they let you listen to the live show
2:07:57
in addition to...
2:07:58
And this is going to...
2:07:59
Eventually, Apple's going to do this.
2:08:02
And radio stations around the country are starting
2:08:05
to understand that you can do this because
2:08:07
there is no central app, really.
2:08:09
There's no central place to get your radio
2:08:11
stations.
2:08:12
And now, you know, like Noah Jenner's stream,
2:08:14
that's a radio station, basically.
2:08:16
So you can listen to the stream and
2:08:18
you get an alert when we go live.
2:08:20
And when Planet Rage with Darren and Larry
2:08:24
goes live, they send an alert too.
2:08:26
You can listen to that in your podcast
2:08:27
app.
2:08:28
And also, when you release the podcast episode,
2:08:30
you get notified within 90 seconds.
2:08:32
Boom, you're good to go.
2:08:33
No more waiting for an hour and a
2:08:35
half from, you know, for Spotify.
2:08:38
What is that for?
2:08:39
Are you bored of my talk?
2:08:42
Yeah.
2:08:42
No, it was to add some moment of
2:08:45
excitement.
2:08:47
Wow, you should do that more often.
2:08:49
I feel it's very exciting.
2:08:50
Very exciting.
2:08:50
Thank you.
2:08:51
Thank you for spicing it up.
2:08:52
Appreciate it.
2:08:54
This program, as you notice, was not interrupted
2:08:58
in the first three minutes.
2:09:00
And again, after 13 minutes to tell you
2:09:02
that it's Ford Truck Month.
2:09:05
Instead, we run it value for value, which
2:09:08
means you're laughing.
2:09:10
But there's a lot of Ford Truck Month
2:09:12
ads going out.
2:09:14
That's funny.
2:09:15
Not really.
2:09:17
I wonder if they gave, you know, Leo
2:09:19
is the one that was the original at
2:09:20
the...
2:09:21
He had the Ford Mustang, right?
2:09:22
The old...
2:09:24
Not, I think, no, he sold it once
2:09:25
they gave...
2:09:25
No, no.
2:09:26
But he was...
2:09:27
Wasn't he advertising the Mustang?
2:09:30
No, he was advertising Ford, but Ford tested
2:09:32
their marketing with the Twitch show.
2:09:38
He ended up buying the Mustang, by the
2:09:40
way.
2:09:40
They didn't give it to him.
2:09:41
I don't know how that works.
2:09:42
He did that wrong.
2:09:43
Yeah, I know.
2:09:44
He doesn't know how to do it.
2:09:46
He still buys phones that he uses.
2:09:47
I don't get that either.
2:09:48
I want to be a good journalist.
2:09:50
I want to be...
2:09:51
I don't want to get...
2:09:52
Hey, I'll take anything for free.
2:09:54
Yeah, I'll talk about it.
2:09:55
That's what you do.
2:09:55
That's what you do if you're a real
2:09:57
pro.
2:09:57
Yeah, exactly.
2:09:59
Anyway, so they tested with him, and I
2:10:03
think that they found that, you know, there's
2:10:05
moments when it's usable.
2:10:07
I don't know whether he got any Ford
2:10:08
truck promos, but...
2:10:11
I heard a Ford...
2:10:12
Go ahead.
2:10:14
I'm just saying, it sounds like a lot
2:10:15
of people did.
2:10:17
Oh, right.
2:10:18
He was pitching the Ford Sync.
2:10:20
Remember that horrible entertainment system?
2:10:24
The Sync.
2:10:25
Oh, yeah.
2:10:26
We're the future of in-car entertainment.
2:10:28
Okay.
2:10:29
Way to go, Ford.
2:10:30
Way to go.
2:10:32
No, I actually heard the Ford Truck Month
2:10:34
ad during the Midas Touch.
2:10:37
I'm like, those people aren't buying trucks.
2:10:40
It's very strange.
2:10:41
Midas Touch people?
2:10:42
Yeah.
2:10:43
If they bought a used Volkswagen, it'd be
2:10:45
a miracle.
2:10:48
So, we run our value for value, which
2:10:50
means whatever you get out of the show,
2:10:52
you just hand it back, whatever that is.
2:10:54
Time, talent, treasure.
2:10:56
You can do stuff.
2:10:56
Lots of stuff can be done for the
2:10:58
show.
2:10:58
Get more people into the troll room, for
2:10:59
instance.
2:11:00
Get more people listening.
2:11:01
Tell more people how great we are.
2:11:04
You know, I love how every single...
2:11:06
The new engagement farming is, you've got a
2:11:10
podcast, and of course, we knew from day
2:11:13
one, we don't want guests on this show.
2:11:16
It's the worst possible podcast strategy you can
2:11:20
come up with.
2:11:21
Because booking guests and getting them to sound
2:11:25
right and get them to show up on
2:11:26
time is a nightmare.
2:11:29
You do not want to do that.
2:11:32
So now, all these podcasts who have been
2:11:35
built upon the Joe Rogan model...
2:11:38
Boy, we have open conversations for hours with
2:11:40
people.
2:11:41
It's really entertaining.
2:11:44
So they go on X, and they post,
2:11:46
who should I invite on for my next
2:11:48
guest?
2:11:50
And they all do it.
2:11:51
They all wind up doing it.
2:11:53
They're hard up for guests.
2:11:55
Yes.
2:11:55
And then, so you see a whole row,
2:11:57
at Adam Curry, at The Real Dvorak, at
2:12:00
Adam Curry and at The Real Dvorak.
2:12:02
These guys, they're the best podcast in the
2:12:04
universe.
2:12:05
He invented podcasting.
2:12:06
You should have him on.
2:12:07
Not a single time ever have I gotten
2:12:10
a show booking out of that.
2:12:12
But I appreciate the effort.
2:12:13
It never works.
2:12:15
They have no desire to talk to me.
2:12:17
I don't know why.
2:12:19
But you're a jerk, maybe.
2:12:21
I'm not a jerk.
2:12:23
No, you're not, actually.
2:12:25
I'm going on.
2:12:25
You're a good guest.
2:12:26
I'm going on.
2:12:26
Here's the problem.
2:12:27
No, here, I'll tell you what it is.
2:12:28
Oh, okay.
2:12:29
Well, good.
2:12:29
How can I change this?
2:12:31
Well, it's because you know too much.
2:12:34
Well, I can't change that unless I get
2:12:37
on the special K.
2:12:39
You know too much.
2:12:42
And you're also a knee-jerk Republican.
2:12:46
But even though you're not, I know you're
2:12:47
not a Republican.
2:12:48
You seem like a Republican to them.
2:12:52
Well, but I'm talking like Patrick Bet-David.
2:12:57
Oh, they're not going to put you on.
2:12:59
Why not?
2:13:00
Because I know too much.
2:13:02
Yeah, I think it's because you know too
2:13:04
much.
2:13:05
And you'll call them out.
2:13:07
Those guys value attainment.
2:13:09
I mean, right there, it's a ridicule.
2:13:12
Bait for you.
2:13:14
You're right.
2:13:15
Value attainment.
2:13:16
You're so right.
2:13:17
I would start it off with, I hope
2:13:19
to bring more value attainment to your program
2:13:21
today than ever before.
2:13:23
Yeah, you know.
2:13:23
You could go on Glenn Beck again.
2:13:25
I think you fit there.
2:13:27
But see, Beck tried to hire me and
2:13:30
I said no.
2:13:31
And I think that that put me in
2:13:33
bad graces with him.
2:13:35
You know what I mean?
2:13:35
He wanted me, hey.
2:13:36
Well, then he's very pretentious.
2:13:38
He's got to be.
2:13:39
And he seems so.
2:13:41
That if you bring a guest on, you
2:13:43
like the guest.
2:13:44
You like this guy.
2:13:44
Well, he should be working for me.
2:13:46
He brought me back.
2:13:47
He had me on twice.
2:13:49
Oh, okay.
2:13:49
Did he try to hire you the first
2:13:51
or second time?
2:13:52
The second time.
2:13:53
And then he wouldn't bring you back after
2:13:55
that?
2:13:55
Well, he was like, you know, I'd really
2:13:56
like.
2:13:56
So he brought you in.
2:13:57
Okay, he brought you in as a pilot.
2:13:59
Yep.
2:13:59
So it's a pilot episode.
2:14:01
Pilot test.
2:14:01
Well, it is.
2:14:01
Adam's pretty good.
2:14:02
Let's bring him back on.
2:14:03
This time we'll throw the pitch at him.
2:14:05
See if he wants to work for us
2:14:06
and disappear off the face of the earth.
2:14:08
No offense.
2:14:09
No, no, not to be fair.
2:14:11
He wanted me to be his every Friday
2:14:14
guest on the show, on the radio show.
2:14:20
Every Friday?
2:14:21
Yeah.
2:14:24
How's that?
2:14:25
That's an interesting idea.
2:14:27
No, it's not.
2:14:28
I don't want to work for anybody.
2:14:30
I don't want.
2:14:31
No.
2:14:32
Well, you just take a quick drive to
2:14:33
Austin on Fridays.
2:14:35
You're not working the show here.
2:14:38
Why don't you take a quick drive to
2:14:40
Austin?
2:14:40
I'm not taking a short drive, no.
2:14:42
I'd have to fly in and just be
2:14:44
on me.
2:14:44
This is not an exit strategy.
2:14:46
No, I don't want.
2:14:48
Some icing on the cake.
2:14:50
No.
2:14:50
Some promotion for this show.
2:14:52
Ah, there it is.
2:14:53
There's the true John.
2:14:54
You don't care about me.
2:14:55
You don't care.
2:14:56
You just want to work me like a
2:14:57
slave, like a monkey boy.
2:14:59
Dance, monkey boy.
2:15:00
Dance.
2:15:01
You can do it.
2:15:02
Drive to Austin.
2:15:03
You nailed me.
2:15:04
Yeah.
2:15:04
No, I'm not going to do it.
2:15:06
Anyway, because I like Beck.
2:15:07
And I think it's fun to be on
2:15:10
his podcast.
2:15:11
And I've been on his radio show.
2:15:12
I like him a lot.
2:15:13
But just the phone's not ringing anymore from
2:15:15
Dallas.
2:15:16
I don't know what's going on.
2:15:18
I don't know.
2:15:18
Oh, he's in Dallas?
2:15:19
I thought he was in Austin.
2:15:20
No.
2:15:20
Oh, he's in Dallas.
2:15:21
You're right.
2:15:22
He's got that dynamite museum.
2:15:23
That's too far.
2:15:24
Yeah.
2:15:25
No, no.
2:15:25
But it could just be a phoner.
2:15:27
It could just be a phoner.
2:15:28
Oh, that stinks.
2:15:33
Anyway, we also enjoy when people just send
2:15:36
us money.
2:15:36
Because that really does help keep the show
2:15:38
going.
2:15:39
It has worked so far for 17 years
2:15:41
with its ups and downs.
2:15:42
And did you throw out a sad puppy?
2:15:45
Sad puppies in play.
2:15:47
Sad puppies in play.
2:15:50
Well, anyway, we always want to thank the
2:15:53
people who support us financially.
2:15:55
And what's a nice list today?
2:15:57
Sad puppy is in play.
2:15:59
Yeah.
2:16:00
We thank everybody.
2:16:01
It takes the content out of the newsletter.
2:16:03
I had two problems.
2:16:05
One, I have the Easter day wrong that
2:16:07
I heard from a couple of people.
2:16:09
What are you talking about?
2:16:10
What is Easter month?
2:16:11
One guy says.
2:16:12
And of course, Jay calls me immediately after
2:16:14
the newsletter goes out.
2:16:16
Because I looked it up.
2:16:17
I said, and this is the mistake.
2:16:19
First time I made it all year.
2:16:20
When is Easter 2024?
2:16:23
I asked Google.
2:16:24
Oh, instead of 2025.
2:16:27
And so, and what triggered that, what triggered
2:16:30
the Easter thing is that last Wednesday was
2:16:32
Ash Wednesday for all the Catholics.
2:16:36
Virtue signalers.
2:16:37
They had to put a big patch of
2:16:39
ashes on their forehead and show up on
2:16:42
TV.
2:16:43
That's not virtue signaling.
2:16:44
That's a part of their vibe, man.
2:16:46
It's a part of their.
2:16:47
Okay.
2:16:48
You can call it what you want.
2:16:50
But I'm looking at Janine Pereira, whatever her
2:16:56
last name is.
2:16:56
Piro.
2:16:57
Judge Janine.
2:16:58
Judge Janine Piro.
2:16:59
And she's got a smudge on her face.
2:17:01
It's the size of New York City.
2:17:03
It's a big mess.
2:17:05
And she's on talking away like there's nothing
2:17:07
different about it.
2:17:08
The whole thing is ridiculous.
2:17:11
It was a clip.
2:17:12
I didn't get it.
2:17:13
Of Byron Donald.
2:17:15
Byron Donald.
2:17:16
Yeah.
2:17:17
Byron Donald.
2:17:17
And he's grilling the mayors about their.
2:17:20
It was quite funny.
2:17:21
I heard this clip.
2:17:22
And then he had the mayor from, was
2:17:25
it Boston?
2:17:26
And she had.
2:17:27
The woman.
2:17:27
The Chinese woman.
2:17:29
Yeah.
2:17:29
And she had the big Ash Wednesday cross
2:17:32
on her forehead.
2:17:34
Yeah.
2:17:36
So I always thought Ash Wednesday, being a
2:17:39
former Catholic, was always near Easter.
2:17:42
It used to be.
2:17:43
No, it's 40 days.
2:17:44
It's the beginning of Lent, 40 days until
2:17:46
Easter.
2:17:47
Well, okay.
2:17:48
Okay, Mr. Big Shot.
2:17:50
How come you didn't notice in the newsletter
2:17:52
that you proofread that I was way off
2:17:55
on Easter?
2:17:56
Because I don't look at content.
2:17:59
There's no content in the newsletter.
2:18:01
I'm just looking at spelling mistakes.
2:18:04
And I saw it was a short newsletter.
2:18:06
I'm like, okay, I messed up.
2:18:09
I missed it.
2:18:10
Sorry.
2:18:10
I should have caught that.
2:18:12
You're right.
2:18:15
It's now.
2:18:15
So I had Easter wrong.
2:18:16
So I'm sorry.
2:18:17
I apologize for that.
2:18:18
It is now a collectible.
2:18:21
Yeah.
2:18:22
Yeah.
2:18:23
That newsletter is collectible.
2:18:25
Collectible.
2:18:26
It's a collectible.
2:18:27
Bonehead move on my part.
2:18:29
But it was a short content-less newsletter
2:18:32
because, except for the one, you know, the
2:18:34
hypocrite of the week.
2:18:35
I always have that.
2:18:36
Yeah.
2:18:37
Because it was a plea for more donations
2:18:40
because it was getting ridiculous.
2:18:42
And the numbers that came in that morning
2:18:43
were terrible.
2:18:46
Yeah, and you are able to gauge that
2:18:48
quite accurately after all these years.
2:18:49
You know that if the numbers are down,
2:18:52
that it's not going to get much better.
2:18:54
You have made a science out of that.
2:18:56
You should write a book about it, honestly.
2:18:58
You should.
2:18:59
It's coming out right after the Vinegar book.
2:19:01
And give it to the value attainment guys.
2:19:04
So we always thank everybody who supports us
2:19:06
with $50 or more.
2:19:07
We're very transparent in this.
2:19:09
We mention the people, unless they want to
2:19:11
be anonymous, and how much they donated.
2:19:14
And we have all kinds of, well, we
2:19:15
don't have any of the like Patreon levels.
2:19:18
You don't have to subscribe to get the
2:19:20
show.
2:19:20
We just give you the show.
2:19:22
We just love giving you the show.
2:19:24
People used to put the show on CDs
2:19:26
when CDs were still a thing.
2:19:30
Maybe vinyl.
2:19:31
Wouldn't be great to have the show on
2:19:33
vinyl.
2:19:33
That would be great to put a show
2:19:34
on vinyl.
2:19:35
So that would be a triple box set
2:19:37
each show.
2:19:38
Each show would be a box set of
2:19:40
three vinyl.
2:19:41
Yeah, because you can only get about half
2:19:42
our on the side.
2:19:43
Yeah, that would be cool.
2:19:45
Um, now there's many, as I said, there's
2:19:48
many ways that, uh, actually, I forgot the
2:19:50
artists.
2:19:50
I can't believe I forgot the artists.
2:19:52
I'm sorry, artists.
2:19:54
Um, in fact, one artist, we want to
2:19:56
thank the artist who brought us the artwork
2:19:58
as a part of the time and talent
2:19:59
portion of Value for Value.
2:20:02
Episode 1744, we titled that Eula for Ukraine
2:20:05
and Tanstafel, which I forget what the acronym
2:20:09
means again.
2:20:11
There are such things as free lunch.
2:20:12
Yes, there you go.
2:20:13
Uh, brought us the no agenda fried dodo
2:20:16
bucket, which we thought was very, there were
2:20:19
a number of good dodo.
2:20:21
First of all, for people who missed the
2:20:23
show, you missed a doozy because we found
2:20:26
out that dodo bird is quite delicious.
2:20:31
Notoriously so.
2:20:32
Notoriously delicious.
2:20:35
So, and you know, as we always say,
2:20:37
bad art only comes because we didn't give
2:20:40
anybody, you know, we didn't have a great
2:20:42
item in the show and your dodo three
2:20:45
clips.
2:20:46
And I was, I really thought, you know,
2:20:47
it started with the woolly mice thing.
2:20:49
It's like, oh, where's this going?
2:20:51
And there was a massive shaggy dog.
2:20:54
You paid it off with the, with the,
2:20:55
with the dodo, the delicious dodo.
2:20:58
And, uh, I don't know about you, but
2:21:00
they went extinct largely because people were eating
2:21:03
them.
2:21:04
Yeah, really?
2:21:06
Yeah.
2:21:07
Wow.
2:21:07
And they were easy to catch because they
2:21:08
were dumb.
2:21:09
And so that's where the word dodo comes
2:21:12
from because they're dumb.
2:21:13
It was called dodo birds.
2:21:14
And then the, the, the moniker, you're a
2:21:17
dodo came from the bird because they would
2:21:20
just stand around and say, oh, okay, what
2:21:22
are you going to do with me?
2:21:23
Why are you picking me up?
2:21:24
Okay.
2:21:24
Oh, you're killing me now.
2:21:26
Oh, now you're eating me.
2:21:27
What's going on here?
2:21:29
Uh, and they, they were just good, good
2:21:31
eating and easy to get.
2:21:32
And they were just dynamite.
2:21:33
So there was the, they had no chance,
2:21:35
but they could be bred.
2:21:37
I think a big giant dodo farm.
2:21:39
They didn't, the Dutch were, didn't have any
2:21:41
foresight whatsoever.
2:21:43
They just ate them all stupid Dutch.
2:21:46
I wish we could talk about the rest
2:21:47
of the art, but the art generator seems
2:21:49
to not be responding at the moment.
2:21:51
Oh, do you get any response from it?
2:21:53
I'm not getting any response.
2:21:56
No agenda.
2:21:56
Art generator.com is where you should be
2:21:58
able to upload your art.
2:22:00
Um, if, uh, oh no, no.
2:22:03
Oh, I got a cloud flare error.
2:22:04
Oh, that's no good.
2:22:06
Uh, if you, if you can't upload it,
2:22:08
then email it to John, John at Dvorak.
2:22:11
No, he did.
2:22:12
Adam mccurry.com.
2:22:13
John at Dvorak.org.
2:22:15
Email it to him.
2:22:16
Uh, if you, if we can't upload it,
2:22:18
people are making the art during the show.
2:22:21
Uh, oh boy, it's going to give Dreb
2:22:23
headaches.
2:22:24
Otherwise we're going to end up using a
2:22:26
piece by a Darren.
2:22:29
Open threat.
2:22:31
You don't want that to happen.
2:22:33
No agenda.
2:22:34
Art generator.com.
2:22:35
Thank you very much.
2:22:35
Tom Stoffel.
2:22:36
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
2:22:38
Now to the, uh, the donors $50 and
2:22:42
above in this segment, we'd like to thank
2:22:43
our executive and associate executive producers.
2:22:45
The way that works is $200 or above.
2:22:48
You get the exclusive title of associate executive
2:22:51
producer for this episode.
2:22:53
And that is something you can use anywhere
2:22:55
that credits are recognized.
2:22:56
Business cards, your LinkedIn, um, imdb.com.
2:23:02
And if anyone questions, it will be very
2:23:03
happy to vouch for you.
2:23:05
And we'll also read your note.
2:23:06
The same goes for our executive producers, $300
2:23:08
or above, and we will read your note
2:23:10
and we kick it off with anonymous from
2:23:12
Pennsburgh PA with five 1538, which I'm pretty
2:23:17
sure is $500 plus the fees for PayPal.
2:23:21
We appreciate that.
2:23:23
And anonymous says, what is the threshold for
2:23:25
the ring thing?
2:23:28
How long have you been listening to the,
2:23:30
to the show?
2:23:32
Are you just going from show to show
2:23:34
and collecting goodies?
2:23:36
It's a thousand dollars.
2:23:37
You become a night of the knowage and
2:23:38
the round table.
2:23:39
That is not just a ring thing.
2:23:41
Although you do get a handsome signet ring,
2:23:43
which you can use to seal your important
2:23:46
correspondence.
2:23:47
We supply the wax with that and a
2:23:49
certificate of authenticity.
2:23:50
And it's also great for picking up chicks.
2:23:54
Thank you.
2:23:54
And respectfully says anonymous.
2:23:56
And we thank you very much.
2:23:57
Anonymous.
2:23:58
Yeah.
2:23:59
We also thank Brian Moss who came with
2:24:00
the exact same amount.
2:24:01
Five, 1538 Rancho Santa Margarita, California.
2:24:06
And he writes the no agenda show is
2:24:09
the antidote to the exaggerated polarization that, that
2:24:14
we are being fed through the M five
2:24:17
M and social media.
2:24:19
Yeah, that's exactly right.
2:24:21
And then he says, you're a blessing to
2:24:22
the world.
2:24:23
I wish more would listen.
2:24:24
I wish more would listen to, you know,
2:24:27
I wonder if that, I wonder if JC
2:24:30
picked up that Trump VP rumor from social
2:24:33
media.
2:24:36
Is that possible?
2:24:37
Do you think he's not like a social
2:24:38
media nut?
2:24:39
He seems like a blue sky kind of
2:24:41
guy.
2:24:42
Well, I don't know that.
2:24:44
Definitely not that.
2:24:45
Okay.
2:24:46
Andrew Glenn is in the UK.
2:24:48
Oh, there we are.
2:24:49
A UK listener who has the balls to
2:24:52
support us.
2:24:53
You could go to jail over this $500
2:24:56
and not $509.
2:24:59
I guess, uh, I guess they get a
2:25:01
discount.
2:25:02
I don't know what that is.
2:25:04
After over 13 years of douche baggery, since
2:25:07
my last donation, your hilarious mad lib section,
2:25:12
as in the lib Joes from show 1744,
2:25:15
which I hope you will occasionally reprise, gave
2:25:18
me the necessary shove.
2:25:20
Here's proof.
2:25:21
John people love that kind of show.
2:25:24
What are we doing?
2:25:24
Messing around doing this.
2:25:26
He needs to de-douching.
2:25:29
You've been de-douched.
2:25:32
So please find my donation of $500 plus
2:25:35
a bit extra for expenses.
2:25:37
Thank you for the position of Commodore.
2:25:39
And I intend to follow this up in
2:25:41
a week or so with a further donation,
2:25:42
which will take me to knighthood.
2:25:44
And with that will be a slightly longer
2:25:46
note.
2:25:46
In the meantime, I guess you're, you better
2:25:48
de-douche me.
2:25:49
You just did that.
2:25:50
And can I also have some yacht selling
2:25:52
karma?
2:25:53
Oh, it's one of those guys.
2:25:54
Your brother.
2:25:54
Andrew Glenn.
2:25:55
There you go, brother.
2:25:56
Thank you so much.
2:25:57
You've got karma.
2:25:58
We go to Indianapolis, Indiana to Sir Greg,
2:26:04
who also comes in with $500.
2:26:06
And he says, nice, short note says, thanks.
2:26:09
Thank thanks for all you to do for
2:26:12
us.
2:26:13
Karma for everybody.
2:26:15
Sir Greg of parts unknown.
2:26:19
You've got karma.
2:26:22
Catherine Knight is in Mesa, Arizona, executive producership
2:26:26
for her.
2:26:26
And she comes in with $400.
2:26:28
And 33 cents.
2:26:30
That cannot be an accident.
2:26:32
ITM, she says, this donation allows me to
2:26:35
become Dame CAC, roamer of the Hawes Hills.
2:26:40
At the round table, I'd like filet mignon,
2:26:42
medium rare, with borscht mineral water, which we.
2:26:46
Borscht, oh, that's it.
2:26:48
I'm sorry.
2:26:49
Sorry.
2:26:50
Well, we had it shipped in from Romania.
2:26:52
So I hope it's the right stuff.
2:26:54
Is borscht something different?
2:26:56
No, borscht is a sweet wine.
2:26:58
No, I think this is the Romanian mineral
2:27:00
water borscht.
2:27:01
Keep up the good work.
2:27:02
I rely on you for a sane view
2:27:04
of the world.
2:27:05
Ah, another soul saved or created.
2:27:07
Perfect.
2:27:10
Brandon Mango in Midland, Pennsylvania, $350.93. And
2:27:16
his note is the best so far.
2:27:17
He says, love the show.
2:27:20
And we love you, sir.
2:27:22
Dr. Sharkey, Jackson, Tennessee, $333.34. Dear Adam
2:27:27

2:27:29
Life happened.
2:27:30
But I'm back.
2:27:31
De-douche me just to be safe.
2:27:34
You've been de-douched.
2:27:35
You guys haven't lost your touch.
2:27:37
Hearing you break down the BS brings some
2:27:39
sanity back to the world.
2:27:41
Looking back, I first donated to No Agenda
2:27:43
in February of 2013.
2:27:45
It's been the best value investment I've made.
2:27:49
Also known as value tainment.
2:27:52
I'd like some rev.
2:27:53
Resist we much, sir.
2:27:54
Dr. Sharkey.
2:27:55
We much.
2:27:56
We giddy.
2:28:00
We dab.
2:28:03
We giddy.
2:28:08
Oh no, first stop, Kansas.
2:28:11
All right, there you go.
2:28:11
You got a little extra from me.
2:28:14

2:28:17
Nero Consulting, $333.33. No note.
2:28:20
So Nero Consulting gets a double up, Karma.

They still consume our products.
2:28:44
Tariff-free.
2:28:45
$333.33 executive producership for you.
2:28:49
I was going to wait until my usual
2:28:50
annual donation, but the newsletter was getting more
2:28:53
and more dire.
2:28:53
So here's an early one.
2:28:56
Hey, good job, John.
2:28:58
See, he didn't care.
2:28:59
He didn't care about your canard.
2:29:03
Jingles Hot Pockets and a C35 guy.
2:29:07
What in the world is this?
2:29:08
P.S. special thanks to Eli the Coffee
2:29:10
Guy.
2:29:11
Hot Pockets.
2:29:13
In the bathroom, taking a shave.
2:29:15
Oh, wait a minute.
2:29:16
And I heard us.
2:29:17
Hold on a second.
2:29:17
That's not the right one.
2:29:19
Oh, how did I get that one wrong?
2:29:20
That's the long version.
2:29:21
What was that?
2:29:23
Well, that's the guy, but I needed the
2:29:27
ISO, I guess.
2:29:27
Yeah, this is it.
2:29:30
Oh, I said, what in the world is
2:29:33
this?
2:29:33
There you go.
2:29:35
Now we have Ronald Pokrant, or Pokrant.
2:29:40
Parts unknown.
2:29:42
$333.33. Note unknown.
2:29:44
So he'll get a double up karma.
2:29:47
You've got karma.
2:29:53
Commodore Brennan.
2:29:54
Perrysburg, Ohio.
2:29:55
$333.33. Our last executive producer for this
2:29:58
show.
2:29:59
We're very grateful for that.
2:30:00
I mean, grateful that we have so many.
2:30:02
And he says, the sad puppy in the
2:30:04
newsletter always pulls at the heart.
2:30:06
How could I resist a call to action
2:30:08
like that?
2:30:08
Well, we're glad that you didn't resist, we
2:30:10
much.
2:30:11
This donation also puts me over knighthood status.
2:30:14
Henceforth, I would like to be known as
2:30:16
Sir Commodore Brennan of the Black Swap.
2:30:19
Please add knufla soup.
2:30:22
Am I saying that right?
2:30:25
Knufla.
2:30:25
I have no idea.
2:30:26
Knufla.
2:30:26
Knufla.
2:30:27
Maybe it's just knufla soup to the round
2:30:29
table.
2:30:30
And he wants to hear some mac and
2:30:32
cheese.
2:30:32
And he says, thanks.
2:30:33
Commodore Brennan of the Glass City.
2:30:37
You slaves can get used to mac and
2:30:39
cheese.
2:30:39
Mac and cheese.
2:30:40
Mac and cheese.
2:30:41
Macaroni and cheese.
2:30:42
Cheddar melted together.
2:30:49
Hey, everybody.
2:30:54
Christy Zeitz in Hampton Bays, New York.
2:30:58
Will be our first associate executive producer.
2:31:01
$250 and another fabulous note.
2:31:04
She says, thanks.
2:31:07
We love notes like that.
2:31:10
Rachel Epperson is in Chicago, Illinois.
2:31:13
Row of Ducks, 222.22. And she says
2:31:16
that she emailed the note, but I did
2:31:17
not receive anything from Rachel.
2:31:19
Did you receive anything?
2:31:20
Well, now I should go look and do
2:31:22
a search on the email and find out.
2:31:24
I mean, Epperson, E-P-P.
2:31:28
Let's try it.
2:31:29
E-P-P-E-R-S-O-N,
2:31:31
I think.
2:31:37
No.
2:31:38
Okay.
2:31:39
Well, email us back, Rachel.
2:31:42
We're happy to give you a make good.
2:31:45
Yeah, I got nothing.
2:31:47
Eric Reinhart comes up.
2:31:51
San Antonio, Texas, 210.60. And he says,
2:31:56
newsletter donation indubitably.
2:32:01
Beautiful.
2:32:03
205 from Todd in Northern Virginia.
2:32:05
John, get ready with your noisemaker because he
2:32:07
says, in the morning, John and Adam, I
2:32:08
was enjoying another fine episode, fully engaged in
2:32:11
the deconstruction when suddenly chimes.
2:32:15
Oh, the chimes.
2:32:16
Cute chimes.
2:32:17
Chimes.
2:32:19
At first, I thought I was hearing things.
2:32:21
Was it the wind?
2:32:22
The sound of God?
2:32:23
No, it was John masterfully deploying his donation
2:32:27
-driving chime psyop.
2:32:30
And you got me.
2:32:31
The subliminal percussion worked.
2:32:33
My hand involuntarily reached for my wallet, and
2:32:36
now here I am sending in a donation
2:32:38
like some kind of activated NPC.
2:32:41
Well done, gentlemen.
2:32:42
In fact, you got me so good that
2:32:44
this donation pushes me over the top for
2:32:46
knighthood.
2:32:46
So please knight me as Sir Todd of
2:32:48
the Jingling Winds.
2:32:50
Please pass the mutton and meat and keep
2:32:52
those sweet, sweet chimes a coming.
2:32:55
In the morning.
2:33:00
That's good.
2:33:01
Last on our list, we got Linda Lupatkin.
2:33:03
There she is in Lakewood, Colorado.
2:33:04
What happened to Eli the coffee guy?
2:33:08
I guess he missed.
2:33:09
He missed the deadline.
2:33:10
He always comes in very late at night.
2:33:12
Well, anyway, I'll just give him a plug
2:33:14
for gigawattcoffeeroasters.com.
2:33:16
Because you had too many cups today again.
2:33:18

2:34:29
executive producers.
2:34:31
Our formula is this.
2:34:34
We hit people in the mouth.
2:34:44
Hot pockets.
2:34:49
I want to add a couple of thank
2:34:52
yous for the people.
2:34:53
I got three Ohio State hoodies.
2:34:55
Oh, nice.
2:34:56
It works.
2:34:58
One of them from Dreb Scott, who sent
2:34:59
a terrific design.
2:35:02
One of his buddies did it out of
2:35:03
Detroit.
2:35:05
Really?
2:35:05
And then I got another one.
2:35:08
There's also a red one that came in.
2:35:09
I don't have the guy's name.
2:35:11
I want him to write me so I
2:35:13
can give him a thanks on the air.
2:35:14
But also, I got another hoodie, plus a
2:35:17
bunch of souvenirs, including a small icon, a
2:35:21
doll called Brutus, which I guess is the
2:35:24
guy's mascot, a horrible looking animal from the
2:35:33
Park Street Law Group, Jay Madison in particular,
2:35:37
or Jeff Madison.
2:35:40
And he sent in a hoodie plus some
2:35:42
other stuff.
2:35:43
I want to thank him and everybody who's
2:35:45
followed up, finally, from Ohio State, one of
2:35:49
the greatest universities in the world.
2:35:53
Okay.
2:35:54
All right.
2:35:55
Don't use bingit.io to hear previous remarks.
2:35:59
Well, previous remarks are null and void.
2:36:02
So very sad, very sad, sad news that
2:36:07
Mimi's theory was wrong.
2:36:09
Wrong, I tell you, about Gene Hackman.
2:36:16
Yes, yes, it was.
2:36:17
It was more grotesque, depending on which version
2:36:21
you've heard.
2:36:22
Tonight, New Mexico authorities with tragic revelations to
2:36:25
a week-long mystery, saying Gene Hackman died
2:36:28
of heart disease and complications from Alzheimer's, likely
2:36:31
a week after his wife, Betsy, died of
2:36:33
the rare deadly disease, Hantavirus.
2:36:35
The cause of death for Mr. Gene Hackman,
2:36:39
aged 95 years, is hypertensive and atherosclerotic cardiovascular
2:36:44
disease, with Alzheimer's disease as a significant contributory
2:36:49
factor.
2:36:50
The cause of death for Ms. Betsy Hackman,
2:36:53
aged 65 years, is Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome.
2:36:59
Hantavirus is transmitted to humans by mice.
2:37:01
There's been less than 900 cases since the
2:37:04
CDC started tracking it in 1993.
2:37:07
Hantavirus can be transmitted to people through rodent
2:37:10
urine droppings or saliva.
2:37:12
The couple, married for 30 years, were found
2:37:15
dead inside their Santa Fe home by a
2:37:17
neighborhood caretaker February 26th.
2:37:20
Hackman, found in the mudroom, appearing to have
2:37:22
suddenly fallen, Betsy in the bathroom with pills
2:37:24
scattered on the counter, her body further decomposed
2:37:28
than her husband's.
2:37:28
Based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to
2:37:32
conclude that Ms. Hackman passed away first, with
2:37:37
February 11th being the last time that she
2:37:40
was known to be alive.
2:37:41
Officials say pacemaker data indicates Hackman likely died
2:37:45
February 18th.
2:37:46
Does this mean Gene Hackman was likely home
2:37:48
with his deceased wife for a week before
2:37:50
he passed away himself?
2:37:53
Yes, I would assume that that is the
2:37:55
case.
2:37:56
This is a very, very bad day for
2:37:59
these people.
2:38:00
It was gruesome, this whole idea.
2:38:03
Hantavirus.
2:38:05
Hantavirus.
2:38:06
And they had a number there.
2:38:07
What was the number of the cases they
2:38:08
said, total?
2:38:10
900 or 600?
2:38:11
Yeah, it's not very big.
2:38:13
I actually have a...
2:38:14
It's bigger than the measles.
2:38:15
Hello!
2:38:16
Oh, we're going to get to that.
2:38:16
I have a Hantavirus clip from 99 that
2:38:19
explains the Hantavirus.
2:38:20
When CDC investigators compared the antibodies from the
2:38:25
outbreak victims to those in their vast file
2:38:28
of known diseases, they made a surprising discovery.
2:38:34
The only sample that was in any way
2:38:37
similar was one that was 40 years old.
2:38:41
It was a sample taken from a soldier
2:38:43
stationed in Korea in 1950.
2:38:47
During the Korean War, more than 3,000
2:38:51
troops developed high fevers and kidney failure.
2:38:54
About 400 died.
2:38:57
Doctors called it Hantavirus because it was traced
2:39:01
back to Korea's Hantan River.
2:39:03
That region was home to large numbers of
2:39:06
striped field mice.
2:39:09
Feces and urine from infected mice carried the
2:39:12
virus.
2:39:13
When it dried out, it became airborne and
2:39:17
was then inhaled by the soldiers.
2:39:20
From there, the virus attacked the kidneys.
2:39:23
Wow.
2:39:25
That's from the forensic files.
2:39:28
Does that sound right to you?
2:39:30
You being our resident.
2:39:31
Yeah, it's a terrible product.
2:39:32
So they didn't explain the dog.
2:39:36
Did the dog just starve to death?
2:39:38
Well, they did say that there were pills
2:39:40
scattered on the floor.
2:39:41
No, on the counter, not on the floor,
2:39:44
on the counter.
2:39:46
Well, I'm skeptical.
2:39:48
The dog needs to be explained.
2:39:50
Maybe he did starve to death, but he
2:39:51
could have eaten one.
2:39:52
That's what dogs would do.
2:39:53
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.
2:39:55
Maybe he ate some of her and got
2:39:57
Hantavirus.
2:39:59
I don't know.
2:40:00
Well, the story continues to unfold.
2:40:04
I got a note from one of our
2:40:07
producers.
2:40:07
I was listening to the show.
2:40:08
Couldn't help but chuckle during your Oscar Awards
2:40:11
talk with John today.
2:40:13
And of course, we were talking about Gene
2:40:15
Hackman getting very, very little airtime for his
2:40:19
illustrious and lengthy career.
2:40:22
And our producer says, I work with a
2:40:24
tribute package team for award shows.
2:40:28
Huh?
2:40:29
I know, it's ludicrous, the people that we
2:40:32
have listening.
2:40:33
It is well known in our little circle
2:40:35
how much of a hard time the Oscars
2:40:37
seems to have with their in-memoriam package.
2:40:40
This is industry inside stuff you'll never hear
2:40:44
about.
2:40:45
Brunetti, listen up.
2:40:47
I don't work on that show specifically, so
2:40:49
I don't have any really good inside gossip
2:40:52
to share with you.
2:40:53
But it's very common for a final product
2:40:55
to be harmed by internal board member politics.
2:41:00
I've witnessed it many times in the past,
2:41:02
and can only imagine how egregious it is
2:41:04
at the Oscars.
2:41:06
Yeah, I can imagine.
2:41:07
Yeah, of course.
2:41:09
I wonder what kind of...
2:41:10
Was Hackman a Republican, or what was the
2:41:12
deal?
2:41:12
I don't know.
2:41:13
I don't know.
2:41:15
Supported Trump?
2:41:16
That could be.
2:41:19
Possibly, although I don't think he did.
2:41:22
I don't think we didn't hear much of
2:41:23
him.
2:41:23
Anyway, since you brought up measles, the big
2:41:27
pharma is on a trip with this measles
2:41:30
thing, man.
2:41:31
It's unbelievable what they're coming up with now.
2:41:33
This is CBS.
2:41:34
And today's health watch, the measles outbreak is
2:41:36
showing no signs of slowing down.
2:41:38
Get this.
2:41:39
Last year, there were a total of 285
2:41:42
cases.
2:41:43
At least 164 cases of the virus have
2:41:46
been detected so far this year.
2:41:48
Two unvaccinated people who were diagnosed have died,
2:41:51
a child in Texas and an adult in
2:41:53
New Mexico.
2:41:55
We know measles is a severe and potentially
2:41:57
deadly virus, right?
2:41:58
But a lesser known fact is how the
2:42:00
virus can damage the immune system, raising the
2:42:03
risk of other infections even after the person
2:42:05
has recovered.
2:42:06
It's called immune amnesia.
2:42:08
Have you ever heard of this bullcrap?
2:42:10
No.
2:42:12
Immune amnesia.
2:42:13
So first of all, potentially deadly virus.
2:42:16
Yeah, the flu...
2:42:18
Can't the virus is worse?
2:42:19
The flu is...
2:42:20
The numbers are higher.
2:42:22
The flu kills tens of thousands of people
2:42:24
a year, but okay, it's about vaccines, obviously.
2:42:28
Let's bring in Celine Gounder, a doctor.
2:42:31
How exactly does measles wipe out immunity to
2:42:33
other viruses people have already been exposed to?
2:42:36
That confuses me.
2:42:38
Well, we know of other viruses...
2:42:39
It's confusing because we've never heard of this
2:42:40
before ever.
2:42:41
No.
2:42:42
Confuses me.
2:42:43
Well, we know of other viruses that infect
2:42:45
the immune system.
2:42:45
HIV is probably the best known one.
2:42:47
Measles infects immune cells, and when it does
2:42:50
so, it damages immune cells, and it wipes
2:42:52
out partially your memory, your immune system's memory
2:42:56
to certain infections.
2:42:57
So it leaves you more susceptible to getting
2:42:59
some of those infections.
2:43:00
Now, we have an animation here to help
2:43:02
you understand how this works.
2:43:04
Okay.
2:43:05
They literally have a drawing of two jars
2:43:08
with colored balls in it.
2:43:10
Let's say you have two babies.
2:43:12
As they grow...
2:43:13
They're not babies.
2:43:14
They're jars with balls in it, Celine.
2:43:16
Their immune systems mature, and they both gain
2:43:18
immunity to different infections, which is represented here
2:43:21
by the different colored marbles.
2:43:23
Okay, marbles.
2:43:24
One baby gets vaccinated against measles at age
2:43:26
one, and then later at age four, that
2:43:28
baby gains immunity to measles through vaccination, which
2:43:31
is what you're seeing here with the red
2:43:32
marbles.
2:43:33
Okay, all right.
2:43:34
Which, there we go.
2:43:35
There we go.
2:43:36
The other baby doesn't get vaccinated and is
2:43:38
not immune to measles.
2:43:40
At age five, both kids will start school,
2:43:43
and the unvaccinated child gets measles.
2:43:45
So if that kid is lucky, it's a
2:43:47
mild case, and they don't need to be
2:43:49
hospitalized.
2:43:50
They develop immunity to measles from...
2:43:52
I need to stop right here.
2:43:54
How do you get a mild case of
2:43:57
the measles?
2:43:58
What does she mean by that?
2:44:01
The only thing I can think of is
2:44:02
that your immune system is strong, and therefore
2:44:06
the effects of the measles are not as
2:44:09
strong on you, or that, you know...
2:44:12
I don't understand a mild case.
2:44:15
It used to be something like that, because
2:44:16
I remember when my son JC had chicken
2:44:20
pox.
2:44:22
He had a mild...
2:44:23
I would have to say it's a mild
2:44:24
case, because there were like two pox.
2:44:27
Two pox?
2:44:28
He was a two pox Shakur.
2:44:29
He was a two pox.
2:44:31
It was like ludicrous.
2:44:33
Okay.
2:44:33
So strong immune system, those Dvorak's.
2:44:36
That kid is lucky.
2:44:37
It's a mild case, and they don't need
2:44:38
to be hospitalized.
2:44:40
They develop immunity to measles from the infection,
2:44:42
Wait, how many kids were ever hospitalized from
2:44:45
measles?
2:44:46
That's a really bad case.
2:44:49
A normal case, you wouldn't get hospitalized.
2:44:51
You don't have to be a mild case.
2:44:53
No, you can be sick.
2:44:54
This story's bullcrap.
2:44:56
Oh, but they're doing this for a reason.
2:44:59
They develop immunity to measles from the infection,
2:45:02
but immunity to other infections is weakened, and
2:45:06
that leaves them at higher risk for other
2:45:08
infections.
2:45:08
That's because the measles is damaging your immune
2:45:11
system and erasing that memory to other viruses.
2:45:14
Bull.
2:45:15
That was digestible.
2:45:16
Thank you for putting it like that.
2:45:18
Dennis Schott would do the same thing to
2:45:19
you, because that gives you a mild case,
2:45:21
doesn't it?
2:45:21
Ah, this is the question.
2:45:23
Can you fix that with boosters?
2:45:25
So if somebody's been infected with the measles,
2:45:27
is there anything they can do to regain
2:45:29
the immunity that they've lost?
2:45:31
No, it's just time.
2:45:32
Time for your immune system to build back
2:45:34
up and recover.
2:45:35
Build back better.
2:45:35
The best thing is not to get measles
2:45:36
in the first place, and the best way
2:45:38
to do that is to get vaccinated.
2:45:40
Because we were always told that once you
2:45:41
get it, it lasts your lifetime.
2:45:43
Once you get vaccinated, yes, you're covered for
2:45:45
your lifetime.
2:45:45
One dose gets you to about 95%.
2:45:48
Two doses to 97% coverage.
2:45:51
Well, then you're not covered for your lifetime.
2:45:53
And it was 93 in other reports, but
2:45:55
now it's 97.
2:45:56
So pretty much if you've gotten your measles
2:45:58
vaccination, you are set.
2:45:59
You are immune for your lifetime.
2:46:01
Should people try to get boosters just because
2:46:03
of this outbreak?
2:46:04
Well, there's a very specific age group where
2:46:06
you may want to consider getting a booster.
2:46:07
Oh, John, did you get a measles vaccine?
2:46:11
No, I had the measles.
2:46:12
Yeah, I had the measles too, but pay
2:46:14
attention.
2:46:15
So if you were born after 1957, but
2:46:18
vaccinated before 1963, you may not have immunity
2:46:22
from measles infection or vaccination.
2:46:25
Really?
2:46:26
Because that's an age group also where the
2:46:28
vaccines that we had available were not as
2:46:30
effective.
2:46:31
So if you're in that very specific age
2:46:33
group, again, born after 1957, vaccinated before 1963,
2:46:37
you may want to get a measles booster.
2:46:40
Just get a booster.
2:46:42
Whatever it is, get a booster.
2:46:43
It can't hurt.
2:46:44
What can it hurt?
2:46:45
Just get a booster.
2:46:46
Now, this immunity amnesia, which I really question
2:46:51
the validity of this, but this is a
2:46:53
CBS, it's big pharma pays their bills.
2:46:56
So we've got all this anti-vax stuff
2:46:59
out there.
2:46:59
So we might as well try it with
2:47:01
this one.
2:47:02
How long does that immunity last?
2:47:05
I mean, the amnesia.
2:47:06
I'd never heard of the phrase immune amnesia.
2:47:09
Because it's dumb.
2:47:11
Do the effects of that last?
2:47:13
Well, from studies, it can last months to
2:47:15
a couple of years.
2:47:16
So, you know, it really does set a
2:47:17
child back.
2:47:19
And back before kids were being vaccinated for
2:47:22
measles, it's estimated that half of the deaths
2:47:25
were actually from other infections they got later
2:47:27
because of that weakened immune system.
2:47:30
This is fear mongering on parents.
2:47:33
That makes me have to play these COVID
2:47:36
clips.
2:47:36
Wait, wait, I got to play the last
2:47:37
one because it's all about RFK Jr., obviously.
2:47:41
There's so much information out there, but it's
2:47:42
different when it comes from the White House.
2:47:44
Earlier this week in a Fox News interview,
2:47:47
HHS Secretary RFK Jr. supported some unconventional treatments
2:47:51
for measles, including vitamin A and cod liver.
2:47:54
Are these effective tools?
2:47:55
I mean, what does science tell us?
2:47:57
Oh, please, are you kidding me?
2:47:59
What does science have?
2:48:00
Science for cod liver oil.
2:48:02
Look at your face.
2:48:03
So there were three humans.
2:48:05
It's like you're struggling to hold your face
2:48:06
straight.
2:48:07
You can see your lip curled up a
2:48:09
little bit.
2:48:11
So you have cod liver oil, which has
2:48:13
vitamin A.
2:48:14
What is cod liver?
2:48:15
Cod liver oil.
2:48:17
Oil from the cod liver.
2:48:19
Cod from a fish's liver?
2:48:20
Yeah, yeah.
2:48:20
Oh, okay.
2:48:21
That's been around for centuries.
2:48:23
Okay.
2:48:24
But it is a good source of vitamin
2:48:26
A.
2:48:26
In very malnourished kids in developing countries, studies
2:48:30
showed that it helps reduce certain complications for
2:48:34
measles, in particular blindness.
2:48:35
But you don't see that in the US.
2:48:38
Less than 1% of kids have that
2:48:40
kind of thing.
2:48:41
So unfortunately, this is not very good advice.
2:48:44
It's not very good advice because it comes
2:48:46
from RFK Jr. It's not good advice.
2:48:50
Before you do your COVID clips, I have
2:48:53
two clips from McCullough about the measles specifically.
2:48:57
Good, yes, because he'll give us some rundown
2:49:00
on this, even though he sells pills.
2:49:02
Yeah, he does sell pills.
2:49:05
I was going to say cod liver oil,
2:49:07
because we don't get enough omega-3s.
2:49:09
It's loaded with that, too.
2:49:10
It's a product that's been around for centuries.
2:49:13
Yes, because cod liver oil.
2:49:14
In fact, all of the Nordic countries, they
2:49:18
gobble this stuff down.
2:49:19
When I was in Iceland, I remember going
2:49:21
to the grocery store.
2:49:22
I always go to grocery stores when I
2:49:23
travel.
2:49:24
And there was like an aisle, an aisle
2:49:27
of cod liver oil and cod oil and
2:49:31
fish oils.
2:49:32
There must have been a thousand examples of
2:49:35
it.
2:49:35
It was unbelievable, because you need this stuff
2:49:37
for sunlight.
2:49:40
You have lack of sun.
2:49:41
There's all kinds of reasons to have this
2:49:42
stuff.
2:49:43
It's good stuff.
2:49:43
It's good stuff.
2:49:44
All right, here's McCullough.
2:49:45
He's on the Dell Big Tree show.
2:49:48
Our media and public health officials, I think,
2:49:50
have to be far more responsible in this
2:49:53
type of reporting.
2:49:54
And just to level set, our CDC says
2:49:57
anybody born before 1957, now, it's assumed that
2:50:01
they've had measles.
2:50:02
It's just a broad assumption that that's the
2:50:04
case.
2:50:05
I was born in 1962.
2:50:08
I had a single measles vaccine at age
2:50:10
two.
2:50:11
And I had another one at age 20
2:50:13
when I entered medical school.
2:50:15
And that's because I didn't have immunity.
2:50:17
I didn't have antibodies against measles.
2:50:20
And now a paper from Bianchi and colleagues
2:50:23
from Italy has actually done that exact study
2:50:26
of medical students entering medical school.
2:50:29
And the answer is about 20% of
2:50:32
those who took the measles shot do not
2:50:34
have effective immunity, according to Bianchi and colleagues.
2:50:38
Now, the answer is if they've had measles
2:50:40
during childhood, about 6% may not have
2:50:44
adequate immunity.
2:50:45
So clearly natural immunity beats vaccine immunity.
2:50:49
And now our CDC is reporting as of
2:50:51
February 27th, 2025, we have 164 cases in
2:50:56
the United States of measles in Alaska, California,
2:51:00
Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York
2:51:03
City, Rhode Island, and Texas.
2:51:05
So it's not just the Mennonite community in
2:51:08
West Texas.
2:51:09
And you know what?
2:51:09
In last year, in 2024, we had 285
2:51:14
cases.
2:51:15
So, Del, measles is something that does occur
2:51:18
sporadically.
2:51:19
It is spread by respiratory aerosol spread.
2:51:24
And it's a morbilliform rash.
2:51:26
You know, we have other illnesses that have
2:51:29
very similar rashes for which there's no vaccine,
2:51:32
including hand, foot, and mouth disease caused by
2:51:35
a Coxsackie virus.
2:51:36
Oh, man, Coxsackie, that's a frightening one.
2:51:39
Christina had that as a kid.
2:51:43
Actually, I had Burke's clip, so we'll skip
2:51:45
her.
2:51:45
Here's the last of the McCullough.
2:51:47
And this is a very interesting little tidbit.
2:51:49
Prior to the MMR vaccine, prior to vaccinating
2:51:53
for measles, infants that are the only really,
2:51:58
truly susceptible group of children that are in
2:52:01
danger of measles.
2:52:02
You do not want your day-one-old,
2:52:05
one-month-old, two-month-old, five-month
2:52:07
-old infant to catch the measles.
2:52:09
At that age, it is dangerous, no doubt
2:52:12
about it.
2:52:13
But here's what's shocking.
2:52:15
The numbers, when we look back in the
2:52:17
1950s and 60s, had very few infants that
2:52:20
died.
2:52:21
The reason being that their mothers passed on
2:52:25
measles immunity to the baby at birth.
2:52:28
How did that happen?
2:52:30
Every mother that caught the measles as a
2:52:32
child kept that immunity through life.
2:52:35
And once they started having their own children,
2:52:37
that natural immunity passed on to the infant,
2:52:40
to the baby.
2:52:41
They were protected for at least six months,
2:52:44
oftentimes a year.
2:52:45
And if the mother breastfed that child, that
2:52:48
immunity could last up to a year and
2:52:50
a half long.
2:52:51
But certainly at six months to a year,
2:52:53
now that that immunity given by mom wears
2:52:55
off, now the child is at a place
2:52:58
where they're healthy enough to handle a measles
2:53:00
infection.
2:53:01
It was amazing.
2:53:03
Nature, or God, if you will, had done
2:53:05
an amazing job at protecting our babies.
2:53:09
But then we started vaccinating every person in
2:53:12
this country starting in 1963, 64, depending on
2:53:16
how you look at the data.
2:53:17
We've been vaccinating ever since.
2:53:20
Here's the problem.
2:53:22
No mother that's been vaccinated with the MMR
2:53:24
vaccine for measles passes anything on to their
2:53:27
infants.
2:53:28
Our infants now have zero protection whatsoever.
2:53:32
Well, thank you, Big Pharma.
2:53:34
That's great.
2:53:35
That's just great.
2:53:37
Wow, there's your ironic story of the day.
2:53:39
Yes, that's just great.
2:53:41
Yeah, it's meddlers.
2:53:42
You meddle, you pay the price.
2:53:44
That's right.
2:53:44
Yeah.
2:53:47
All right, we'll wrap it up with your
2:53:48
COVID stuff.
2:53:49
Okay, so Montana's got a law they're going
2:53:54
to pass to stop all mRNA vaxxes, period.
2:54:02
There's just no genetic anything.
2:54:05
Yeah, Montana, there's about, I think, four or
2:54:07
five other states trying to do this.
2:54:09
And so there's a doctor that comes out
2:54:11
and gives a pretty good rundown, just so
2:54:13
we remind everybody, I feel, I'm sorry about
2:54:18
anybody who's got the, I mean, if you
2:54:20
got the vaccine, you got the vaccine, you're
2:54:21
probably okay.
2:54:22
But it has issues.
2:54:25
And I wanted to play these clips of
2:54:28
the woman's testimony.
2:54:30
There's three short, well, the second clip's a
2:54:32
little longer, it should be.
2:54:34
And this is the woman coming on and
2:54:35
giving a nice little rundown on why they
2:54:38
should pass this law and take this vaccine
2:54:40
off the market.
2:54:40
It's ridiculous.
2:54:41
My name is Christine Drivdahl-Smith, D-R
2:54:45
-I-V-D-A-H-L hyphen S
2:54:49
-M-I-T-H.
2:54:51
I'm a family physician in Miles City.
2:54:53
I have no conflict of interest.
2:54:56
I am a volunteer board member of the
2:54:58
Montana Medical Freedom Alliance.
2:55:01
Gene-based vaccines or mRNA vaccines are the
2:55:05
most destructive and lethal medical products that have
2:55:08
ever been used in human history.
2:55:11
I'm asking you to support this bill banning
2:55:14
gene-based vaccines so that we can halt
2:55:17
continued harm, disability, and death of our citizens.
2:55:22
Gene-based vaccines include the COVID-19 shots,
2:55:26
and there is one other RSV shot that
2:55:29
was approved for this past year for older
2:55:31
adults.
2:55:32
There are ongoing trials for influenza and bird
2:55:35
flu, and there are dozens more in development.
2:55:40
The COVID shots were rolled out just over
2:55:42
four years ago under Emergency Use Authorization, or
2:55:46
EUA.
2:55:48
This has been renewed multiple times.
2:55:51
The last renewal was in December of 2024
2:55:53
and extended the EUA until 2029, which also
2:55:59
extends the liability protections.
2:56:01
Under EUA, the FDA may allow use of
2:56:05
unapproved medical products, including experimental products.
2:56:10
Further, the regulatory procedures do not apply to
2:56:13
the EUA products, which explains why the FDA
2:56:17
has not withdrawn these dangerous vaccines.
2:56:19
I'm glad you're ending the show on a
2:56:21
happy note.
2:56:22
This is great.
2:56:23
We're not ending the show.
2:56:25
Well, this is going to end the show.
2:56:27
I mean, we're three hours already.
2:56:30
It won't fit on the vinyl if we
2:56:31
don't hurry.
2:56:32
Yeah, but a lot of the three hours
2:56:33
is trying to get the machines.
2:56:34
No, no, no.
2:56:35
This is the actual recording, 257.
2:56:38
Yeah.
2:56:39
Sorry.
2:56:40
No, it's not your fault.
2:56:41
I love this.
2:56:42
I just, I feel that we're leaving people
2:56:44
with a downer.
2:56:45
You're going to make this approve these vaccines.
2:56:47
They never have.
2:56:48
No.
2:56:48
Bull crap.
2:56:49
They haven't.
2:56:50
Okay.
2:56:51
By the end of 2024, there was over
2:56:55
38,000 deaths reported to the VAERS system
2:57:00
with a known underreporting factor of 31 to
2:57:03
as much as 100.
2:57:05
There are over 3,400 peer-reviewed studies
2:57:09
in the medical literature describing injury from these
2:57:12
vaccines, including cardiac arrest, myocarditis, blood clots, immune
2:57:18
suppression, autoimmune disorders, cancers, neurological disorders, prion
2:57:24
-induced disease, pregnancy harms and miscarriage.
2:57:28
Every highly vaccinated country has had a significant
2:57:31
increase in all-cause mortality, a decrease in
2:57:35
life expectancy and a decrease in fertility.
2:57:39
These vaccines do not prevent disease or transmission.
2:57:44
In fact, the more shots one receives, the
2:57:47
more likely they are to get COVID.
2:57:50
Over a year ago, it was discovered that
2:57:52
the COVID shots are contaminated with DNA.
2:57:55
This has now been confirmed by multiple labs
2:57:58
around the world.
2:57:59
The amount exceeds the regulatory limits as much
2:58:02
as 400 times.
2:58:04
The presence of this genetic material increases the
2:58:07
risk of cancer in the recipient.
2:58:10
And this foreign genetic material has now been
2:58:12
found within dividing human cells in a petri
2:58:15
dish and in colon cancer biopsies.
2:58:18
These mRNA vaccines, like other gene therapy medical
2:58:22
products, can be shed to others via blood,
2:58:26
body fluids, excrement and airborne exosomes.
2:58:30
Studies have now confirmed that these products are
2:58:32
shedding to others and that those exposed via
2:58:35
shedding can experience adverse reactions.
2:58:38
As you can see, there are no benefits
2:58:41
and only the potential for harm.
2:58:44
And yet, 23% of Americans continue to
2:58:47
receive boosters.
2:58:49
The American College of OBGYN continues to recommend
2:58:52
COVID shots to pregnant patients.
2:58:55
And the CDC has added the COVID shots
2:58:57
to the pediatric vaccine schedule starting at six
2:59:01
months of age.
2:59:02
So tell me at the end of this
2:59:03
testimony, they all go, thank you very much
2:59:05
for coming.
2:59:06
We're just going to keep on using them.
2:59:07
I mean, this is very depressing.
2:59:11
I'm sorry, but here we go.
2:59:13
This will wrap it up.
2:59:14
There have been ever increasing calls for an
2:59:16
immediate ban by professional groups all across the
2:59:20
globe.
2:59:21
Five states attorneys general have filed a suit
2:59:23
against Pfizer for misrepresenting the effectiveness of the
2:59:26
COVID shots.
2:59:27
And just last week, citizens filed a petition
2:59:32
with the FDA to remove these.
2:59:34
What was that?
2:59:35
Time's up?
2:59:36
One minute.
2:59:38
Wow, someone didn't want to hear her.
2:59:40
With the FDA to remove these products because
2:59:43
the DNA contamination was not revealed to the
2:59:46
regulators.
2:59:47
The drug companies, the regulators, the federal government
2:59:50
have failed to act.
2:59:51
We all know that the hands of justice
2:59:53
move slowly.
2:59:54
Time is of the essence.
2:59:57
I've spent over half of my medical career
2:59:59
in emergency medicine.
3:00:01
And during a trauma code, the most important
3:00:04
thing is to stop the bleeding.
3:00:07
So I'm asking all of you to use
3:00:09
common sense and a Montana let's get this
3:00:13
done attitude.
3:00:14
We must ban gene-based vaccines in Montana.
3:00:22
So will this ever be admitted by RFK
3:00:26
Jr. considering President Trump is so proud of
3:00:30
Operation Warp Speed?
3:00:32
This is the question, the big question.
3:00:33
He even touted it during his not state
3:00:36
of the union by saying that he had...
3:00:40
Yeah, it's a problem.
3:00:41
This is a real big problem.
3:00:43
It would be dynamite if he just said,
3:00:45
you know, I was wrong.
3:00:46
How about that?
3:00:47
I was wrong.
3:00:48
He's never done that.
3:00:49
This is his flaw.
3:00:52
He can never admit to being wrong.
3:00:55
I have a couple of just ask Adam
3:00:58
clips which are a little lighter.
3:01:00
You might find it more amusing to end
3:01:02
the show with these.
3:01:03
Okay, hold on a second.
3:01:06
It doesn't say that, these are gut-filled.
3:01:08
Oh, but don't I need an ask Adam
3:01:10
jingle?
3:01:11
You would, yeah.
3:01:16
Ask Adam, yeah, I can do it.
3:01:18
You know what's happened is like, I have
3:01:21
a million clips called Ask Adam.
3:01:25
Here it is.
3:01:36
All right, I'm ready to answer the question.
3:01:40
Okay, so I'm going to play the first
3:01:42
clip actually the question for you comes after
3:01:45
the second clip.
3:01:46
So it's not going to be that hard.
3:01:49
Okay, this is Gutfeld playing a Rogan clip
3:01:53
of Bill Murray talking about Bob Woodward.
3:01:57
Now we've had talked about Bob Woodward's inability
3:01:59
to tell the truth.
3:02:01
Yeah, he's a spook.
3:02:02
Including, yes, well here we...
3:02:04
I wanted, so here's the clip that's the
3:02:06
setup and this is the Gutfeld-Woodward setup.
3:02:09
The video of the day comes from Joe
3:02:10
Rogan's podcast where comic legend Bill Murray discussed
3:02:13
Bob Woodward's 1984 book, Wired, about the late
3:02:18
John Belushi.
3:02:19
As far as Murray was concerned, the book
3:02:21
was so inaccurate he had to wonder if
3:02:23
Woodward's reporting on Watergate was also full of
3:02:26
crap, watch.
3:02:28
I read like five pages of Wired and
3:02:31
I went, oh my God, they framed Nixon.
3:02:36
All of a sudden I went, oh my
3:02:37
God, if this is what he writes about
3:02:39
my friend that I've known for half of
3:02:41
my adult life, which is completely inaccurate, talking
3:02:46
to like the people of the outer, outer
3:02:48
circle getting the story, what the hell could
3:02:51
they have done to Nixon?
3:02:53
Okay, I have nothing to answer yet.
3:02:55
The Russ Baker book discussed all this in
3:02:57
great detail.
3:02:59
So Gutfeld now goes around the table and
3:03:01
he's talking to everybody and then out of
3:03:03
the blue he pulls out a little piece
3:03:05
of choice tidbit and the ask Adam part
3:03:08
is, see if you can easily spot what
3:03:12
is kind of the missing piece of this.
3:03:16
M.K., do you know Woodward's background before
3:03:19
Watergate?
3:03:20
Do you know, do you want me to
3:03:22
tell?
3:03:22
He had no experience.
3:03:25
He was a naval officer and then all
3:03:27
of a sudden he gets a job at
3:03:28
the Washington Post and quickly breaks the biggest
3:03:30
story of the century.
3:03:33
I know, no, this is all up.
3:03:37
The red flag for me here too on
3:03:39
Woodward, and this has happened in various others
3:03:41
of his books as well, where people have
3:03:42
called him out and been like, well, that's
3:03:43
not true.
3:03:46
The piece that's missing?
3:03:50
Yeah, I'm surprised you didn't hear it right
3:03:53
off.
3:03:54
No, I didn't.
3:03:56
Gutfeld says that Woodward was a naval officer
3:04:00
and then leaves it at that without ever
3:04:03
mentioning that that's not the important part of
3:04:05
him being a naval officer.
3:04:07
He was a naval intelligence.
3:04:09
Oh, I see what you're saying.
3:04:10
Yeah, yeah.
3:04:12
It's Gutfeld.
3:04:12
Why does he leave that out?
3:04:14
That seems to be the key.
3:04:16
It wasn't that, oh, he's a naval officer
3:04:17
that he went to work for the Washington
3:04:19
Post.
3:04:19
Was he a journalist in the Navy?
3:04:20
What was he doing there?
3:04:21
He was a naval intelligence officer that went
3:04:25
to work for the paper.
3:04:26
He could have been a bosun.
3:04:28
He could have been a swabby.
3:04:30
A swabby, swab in the lobby.
3:04:33
A deck swabby.
3:04:34
By the way, Gutfeld is another one of
3:04:36
those people who posts on X, who should
3:04:39
I have on the show when everyone says
3:04:41
me and I never get invited.
3:04:43
I would be great.
3:04:44
I would kill on that show because they
3:04:46
give you scripts.
3:04:48
They pretty much give you scripts.
3:04:50
I'm going to show my support by donating
3:04:52
to No Agenda.
3:04:53
Imagine all the people who could do that.
3:04:55
Oh yeah, that'd be fab.
3:04:58
Yeah, on No Agenda in the morning.
3:05:03
Alert the village, everybody.

3:05:11
rest of our producers who supported the best

some other ham call.

And we have one dame and one knight
3:15:06
to bring up.
3:15:07
We only have, I thought we had two
3:15:08
knights.
3:15:10
Am I mistaken?
3:15:11
I don't know.
3:15:12
Oh, I thought we had two knights.
3:15:15
We have the Todd.
3:15:18
We have, well, Catherine is the dame.
3:15:20
Catherine and Todd.
3:15:23
Todd, was there someone?
3:15:24
Okay, maybe I'm wrong.
3:15:25
We can always make good if we messed
3:15:26
it up.
3:15:27
I just have a feeling.
3:15:29
Well, anyway, I've got a blade.
3:15:31
Did you bring your blade?
3:15:32
Yeah, of course I did.
3:15:33
Here it is.
3:15:33
Oh, very nice.
3:15:36
Catherine Knight, step on up here on the

3:16:34
wax.
3:16:35

same.
3:17:53
It's like a party.
3:17:56
Well, I don't have a snowball's chance in
3:17:59
hell here today because I already know you've
3:18:01
got a great ISO for the end of
3:18:03
show.
3:18:03
So I'll just play the one that I
3:18:05
brought just for yucks.
3:18:06
In a word, balls.
3:18:10
You're not even trying.
3:18:12
I'm not.
3:18:12
I'm not.
3:18:13
Because you're just killing me with these choices.
3:18:15
You've got some well that just never runs
3:18:18
dry.
3:18:19
What are we going to play first?
3:18:19
Well, here we go.
3:18:20
Let's start with this one.
3:18:22
All three of these are good.
3:18:23
Let's start with better.
3:18:25
That was better than a podcast.
3:18:26
Oh, God, this is so good.
3:18:28
Yes.
3:18:29
What's your next one?
3:18:30
Then we have podcast.
3:18:31
Everybody's got a podcast.
3:18:34
Everybody's got a podcast.
3:18:36
This is really done right.
3:18:37
What's the last one you have?
3:18:39
Wow.
3:18:39
That wow.
3:18:40
That show was hot today.
3:18:43
Oh, close second.
3:18:46
Everybody's got a podcast.
3:18:48
Wow.
3:18:48
That show was hot today.
3:18:50
I don't know, man.
3:18:51
What do you like best?
3:18:52
That's hard.
3:18:53
It's a hard one.
3:18:54
You know, I think all this is tough,
3:18:59
but I think if we go with the
3:19:01
with the mumbler, the guy, everyone's got a
3:19:03
podcast.
3:19:03
I think it fits.
3:19:04
And then we can I can move these
3:19:06
other two.
3:19:06
I won't have to go digging for more.
3:19:08
I won't have to do anything for the
3:19:10
next two weeks.
3:19:10
Everybody's got a podcast.
3:19:12
All right, everybody, we have a podcast, but
3:19:14
not everybody has John's tip of the day.
3:19:26
This is a product you'll find here and
3:19:29
there, it's an important product for people who
3:19:33
have wheat issues.
3:19:34
And Mimi has become one of these people.
3:19:37
Yes, we know.
3:19:37
And it's not just the gluten thing, but
3:19:39
the gluten free stuff is what you have
3:19:41
to look for.
3:19:41
At least that's a start.
3:19:43
So there I make, if I make pancakes,
3:19:46
I make them, I just take any flour
3:19:48
and I put some baking powder in it,
3:19:50
mix it up with some salt, a little
3:19:52
shake of salt and put an egg and
3:19:54
some buttermilk and mix it up.
3:19:56
And there's pancake.
3:19:57
It's a pancake.
3:19:58
Yes.
3:20:00
But it's got wheat, obviously.
3:20:01
So and I don't like pancake mixes, but
3:20:04
I have to say there's this one pancake
3:20:06
mix, gluten free from a company called P
3:20:10
.A.N, P.A.N. And they have
3:20:15
a gluten free pancake mix.
3:20:17
It's a mix of flours and starches.
3:20:20
And it tells you instructions how to make
3:20:22
it.
3:20:23
But I just use it, throw an egg
3:20:24
and buttermilk in it.
3:20:25
I don't care what they tell you to
3:20:27
do, just as though it was a flour
3:20:29
mix.
3:20:30
And you make a pancake from this stuff.
3:20:32
And I don't think anyone in the world
3:20:34
could tell that this had no wheat.
3:20:38
And it's the stuff I buy it for
3:20:40
Mimi because she can have a satisfying pancake
3:20:44
that you'd swear was real, the real deal
3:20:47
when it's not.
3:20:47
It's just a blend of crazy flours and
3:20:49
starches.
3:20:51
And it's P.A.N, gluten free pancake
3:20:56
mix.
3:20:56
P.A.N, gluten, you know?
3:20:59
Wow, so Tina won't eat any pancakes.
3:21:03
And she makes great pancakes.
3:21:05
So I'm going to see if we can
3:21:06
get some of that.
3:21:06
Maybe she'll eat it.
3:21:08
And P.A.N, they have it.
3:21:10
Mexican stores carry this brand.
3:21:12
It's online.
3:21:14
You can get it all over the place.
3:21:15
They have a bunch of different pancake mixes,
3:21:18
but this is the gluten free ones.
3:21:19
The one that surprises me how good it
3:21:22
is.
3:21:23
Everybody has a podcast, but not everybody can
3:21:25
tell you how to make the best gluten
3:21:28
free pancakes.
3:21:29
I'm sorry.
3:21:30
That alone is worth the price of admission.

I'm not going to say anything.

Invading Ukraine.
3:24:33
What Putin wants, is for Ukrainians to defend
3:24:35
their democracy.
3:24:36
Ukraine, brutal invasion of Ukraine.

I really hope that you and President Putin
3:24:47
get together and can solve your problem.
3:24:50
That would be a tremendous achievement.
3:24:51
And I know you're trying to do that.
3:24:53
Did you underestimate Vladimir Putin?
3:24:54
Putin's intention to press on with his brutal
3:24:56
assault on Ukraine.
3:24:57
I'm Russian.

Russian missiles continue to rain down on the

Ukraine is a centrally located strategic country in

Europe.
3:25:09
Donald Trump repeatedly asked his Ukrainian counterpart, Vladimir
3:25:13
Zelensky, to investigate the former Vice President.
3:25:16
President Biden.
3:25:17
Russia's President Vladimir Putin.
3:25:19
Do we need to be prepared for the
3:25:21
continued destruction of Ukrainian citizens?
3:25:23
Putin is the great disruptor.
3:25:26
Putin's military is falling apart.
3:25:28
There's a price to pay for peace and
3:25:30
democracy.
3:25:31
Please, again, my request, don't trust Putin.
3:25:35
You're blue and you don't know where there's
3:25:39
fake news.
