No Agenda - 1645 - "Poonami" Transcript and Discussion (2024)

Starting point is 00:00:00 I like aggressive turning. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, March 24th, 2024. This is your award-winning Give Our Nation Media Assassination episode 1645. This is no agenda. Running down replacements and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Starting point is 00:00:22 And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all celebrating the first time in 110 years that a rookie won the Grand Sumo Tournament. I'm John C. DeBrock. It's Greg Bonin Buzzkill. In the morning. Takeru Fuji. Did I get that right? Kind of, yeah.

Starting point is 00:00:41 T-A-K-E-U, Fuji. Oh, Takeru Fuji. Oh, Takiro Fuji. He was injured. He lost a match yesterday, and we got injured, and he was up in the air whether he'd win today, because he had to win today, win the whole thing. Yeah. And then I noticed something that was,

Starting point is 00:00:59 I don't know why it takes me these many years. Do people understand that this is the big sumo championship that you follow and update us on uh every six months it seems yeah people expect it somewhat but i noticed i've been following sumo for over 40 years easy yes and and and 16 of those right here on this show now the first time i've noticed this the winners and i think this may be endemic to jet to japan the winner comes out and they ask him a lot of questions he never thanks anybody really what a douche no i've never seen any Japanese wrestler thank anybody over the years. Not even his agent? And I think it's because we have, in this country, we have a thing called obligatory gratitude.

Starting point is 00:01:52 So if you watch the Academy Awards, I thank my mom, my dad, my director, my producer, my fellow actor. They go on and on and on. In fact, there was some actress that forgot to thank her husband and they got divorced like within a month you remember that uh vaguely yeah well that's the kind of and then if you have like obama says you know nobody's a self-made man in the united states you got to thank the government it's because we put roads on the streets we paved the roads as if it wasn't for paved roads you wouldn't make any money that's true and I've tried to figure

Starting point is 00:02:27 I was thinking why there's no thanks for the stable they're in there's no thanks for their coaches there's no thanks to anybody the dog doesn't even get any thanks she gets no thanks I'm guessing it's because

Starting point is 00:02:44 the Japanese are they have obligations. They're a thankless bunch. No, I think they have obligations and duties, and they don't expect to be thanked. I'm just doing my job. Why are you thanking me? Well, that's true. It may be an insult to be thanked. Tipping in Japan is, in fact, an insult.

Starting point is 00:03:04 Yeah. If you tip, they will come running after you out of the restaurant and say, oh, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just doing my job. You should not be tipping me. That was the most amazing thing I ever witnessed when that happened. This may be because duty is accepted as a thing and to be thanking somebody is insulting them. I'm supposed to be doing this. Why are you thanking me?

Starting point is 00:03:30 That's the only way I can figure it out, but they thank nobody. I think this is a good trend. I'm not going to thank you for anything. It's not going to happen. We have, and I said it, we have obligatory gratitude in this country. You have to thank people or else you're a douche.

Starting point is 00:03:47 In fact, you started it off by saying he's a douche. You yourself reacted immediately to my comment that he's a douche. I feel bad now. I feel bad. I think he's right. The only person he should be thanking is God. That's all. That covers it all.

Starting point is 00:04:03 That's what I'm going to do from now on. I'm not thanking you for anything well then you're a douche yeah well there you go oh by the way so i was so after this show there is a thing i have to say this and i'm i was gonna i've been putting it off but you have a doppelganger on nhk on nh, on the Japanese television station? Yeah. There's a guy named Josh Danielson. If your life had gone differently, this would be you.

Starting point is 00:04:33 He's a super square. He wears a bow tie. And he's a presenter, but he's terrible. Every time I look at it, I'm always... I don't like any of these things you're saying here. I'm always look askance at it as, is this Adam doing this bit? I'm looking for him now. I don't have trouble finding him,

Starting point is 00:04:56 but you, if you find him, you'll see him. He'd be wearing a bow tie and he looks like you. And he's, and it's like, I, every once in a while,

Starting point is 00:05:03 I think is, this is a second job that you do as a joke? Most people confuse me with the drummer from the police. Oh. Stuart Copeland. A lot of people confuse me with him. It's like, hey, that's your brother. Yeah, it's your brother.

Starting point is 00:05:21 Well, this guy's kind of a doppelganger with a bow tie. So. Well, thanks. Thanks, John. Thanks. yeah it's your brother well this guy's a kind of a doppelganger with a bow tie so uh well thanks thanks john thanks so so on this show again i'm noticing now that i got this thing about the lack of gratitude they're playing a bogus story about how the t100 t1100 toshiba laptop was the first in the world when it wasn't by a long shot. Wow, there's a twist in turn I did not expect. And they go on and on about it. And I noticed that throughout the thing,

Starting point is 00:05:53 they kept mentioning other companies, but never mentioned their names. They said that in another company. Again, showing no gratitude. Who is this? Who is not thanking? You miss me. How do we transition from the Sumo guy to the Toshiba laptop? showing no gratitude. Who is this? Who is not thanking? You miss me.

Starting point is 00:06:06 How do we transition from the Sumo guy to the Toshiba laptop? They weren't thanking anybody either. Okay. Wow. All right. A little bit of tech history for you, everybody. Remember those Toshiba laptops? Woo, yeah.

Starting point is 00:06:21 Well, I always thought they made some of the best laptops, but they did not make the first by any means. That would go to grid. Now, before we get into the news du jour and talk about what the algo told us to be worried about today. Not even four days between our last show, even the show prep. So three days between the last show and today. It's already happening. I'm going to play a one-minute redux clip of Dr. Jen, America's favorite doctor.

Starting point is 00:06:56 Remember, the reason you need to take Ozempic or any other GLP-1 drug is because the risks. I mean, you've got to think for yourself is the risk of taking it less or more than the risk of not taking it people often don't realize that these were first fda approved in the united states for help in managing type 2 diabetes almost 20 years ago so we have extensive safety and efficacy data. They have a good track record. However, when you talk about risks, I think you need to ask four questions. What are the risks of taking these drugs versus what are the risks of not taking these drugs? What are the benefits of taking these drugs and what are the benefits of not taking these drugs? We know conclusively that if you do not treat

Starting point is 00:07:45 or manage the conditions of overweight or obesity, the risks are significant. Increased risks of heart attacks, stroke, various types of cancer. That has to be part of this decision-making analysis. So take a very rare potential risk or side effect of this class of medication. If a risk is noted to occur one out of every hundred thousand times,

Starting point is 00:08:07 that's rare. That's one case. But if all of a sudden a million people are on that drug, you're going to see that rare risk or side effect 10 times. And to quote my favorite comedian, George Carlin, the fix is in, the game is rigged folks,

Starting point is 00:08:23 because here we go. Millions of Americans may soon have more access to a popular and expensive Carlin, the fix is in. The game is rigged, folks, because here we go. Millions of Americans may soon have more access to a popular and expensive drug for weight loss. Medicare says its plans can cover Wagovi, but only for certain patients. NBC senior business correspondent is Christine Romans, of course. Notice the business correspondent, not a doctor. She is here with more. Christine, good to see you. Good morning. How many Americans could this

Starting point is 00:08:45 affect in the future? It's fair to say millions. This could be millions of Americans. You have 65 million Americans who are on Medicare. And for people who have heart disease, risk of stroke, their doctors can now prescribe this important drug to help them reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious cardiovascular disease. So this is really a game changer for public health. Medicare is not allowed by law to cover weight loss because of the Fen-Fen scandal 20 years ago. But it can now cover it for heart disease, which of course goes along with obesity. 70% of Americans suffer from being overweight or obesity.

Starting point is 00:09:24 So this is a big, big population of people. So what if you do want to get it covered for weight loss? Is that just out of the question? Is that on the table people are thinking about? It's still out of the question. You have to talk to your doctor about whether you are at higher risk for heart disease because of your obesity. Right, right. So that's really important here.

Starting point is 00:09:40 But there's also the problem with how much it costs. If you don't have this prescription, I mean, it's $1,300 for one package, which lasts a month, it's $16,000 for a year's supply. But these insurers now, mostly they mimic what Medicare does. So other insurers may start covering this as well. But here's the thing. We know that being overweight is very expensive in terms of your lifetime of medical risks so insurers now have to start weighing whether it's really important to get more people these drugs who can tolerate it so that they can prevent other kinds of health problems down the road and potentially bring down costs absolutely impact is going to be huge for a lot of americans

Starting point is 00:10:18 bring down costs yes bring down stops yes it's already over. Oh, oh. Yes. So, did you notice that little term in there? I noticed several. Which one did you want? Tolerate. Oh, yeah, because you're puking when you take this stuff. But here's, let's do some, you're bumping. Let's do the back of the envelope. No, I didn't actually.

Starting point is 00:10:41 If I explain what that was, it's annoying. I've been trying to fix it. Let's agree on a code. I heard a bump. Something went bump in the night, John. I don't know what it was, but it came from your end of the connection. Yeah, I wish it would. I'm trying to make it happen again, and I won't. It's weird. Let's do some back of the envelope stuff here. They said 65 million Americans are on Medicare. Let's just say the average amount of people who are obese, therefore, which can be- All of them. Well, no, it's 60% is what they're saying. Okay. So let's just take-

Starting point is 00:11:18 Let's just do the math. Let's do 30 million times 16,000. A year. A year. A year. What is 35 times 16? 35 million? Well, it's 35 million times 16,000. Yeah, it's in the billions, high billions.

Starting point is 00:11:39 Hundreds of billions. Yeah. It's ridiculous. And let's stop for a second. Who is paying that money? You and me, brother. The podcasters of the world. And there's no mention of, well, if you go on, if you can tolerate the drug, then you actually have to learn how to control your intake.

Starting point is 00:12:04 control your intake, i.e. I don't care if your brain set points as you got to eat a lot. Don't eat processed crap. This is going to bankrupt us. Good job, Oprah. And I mean, we only had one day. We should have bought stocks right away. We knew it was going to happen. I had no idea it was going to happen two days after her special boom there it is congratulate congratulations will go that was the idea wasn't it yeah but two days i mean no one had time to even consider the stock buy but it this is an outrage it's an

Starting point is 00:12:41 out i could have sold calls i don't know something like that you can go you can buy still buy a call probably a winner these things don't shoot up like a rocket there is sometimes they do there is an upside this is very interesting women who are on birth control and then go on the ozempics or any other glp-1 drug, apparently they are getting pregnant because this GLP-1 counteracts the effects of... Oh, I did not know this. Yeah, it's a big story. It's a big story.

Starting point is 00:13:20 So you might be able to see this as an upside. Now, of course, the minute you get pregnant, you should stop taking these drugs immediately for obvious reasons. Yeah, but you're supposed to take it for life. Yeah, but you know you're going to... So there's a double-edged sword, to say the least. Catch-22, as they like to say. So they had this regulation, this law that said you couldn't, the government couldn't pay for weight loss drugs because of fen-fen. But I guess that doesn't matter now.

Starting point is 00:13:49 I think that's been reverse engineered. Well, it has been reverse engineered because this is not... No, I mean, what I say is reverse engineered is the fen-fen. Blame it on fen-fen. I don't think that was the reason. They never liked the idea. Okay, well, that's a good point. don't know exactly what what the law was but um this is an outrage this isn't because they're not saying uh well i'm the way they get around it or whatever the law was is not oh you know you're fat no no it's because you're at risk of heart disease you're at risk of a stroke well yeah this is going to bankrupt us even further than these nut jobs in congress

Starting point is 00:14:36 who passed 1.2 trillion dollar spending bill of which people are arguing over marjorie taylor green oh i'm so mad dude it's 800 billion dollars for guns and stuff that blows up no one's even talking about that oh it's 300 million for ukraine this is an outrage get rid of mike johnson please this is this is we're out of control we're out of control i tell you we're out of control let me yeah let me this is true let me play what else oh really let me play there's gambling going on let me play a clip of this tonight with just hours to spare speaker mike johnson resisting pressure from far-right republicans putting a bill on the house floor to avert a government shutdown the 1.2 trillion dollar package passing the resolution is agreed to the democrats from far-right Republicans, putting a bill on the House floor to avert a government shutdown. The $1.2 trillion package passing.

Starting point is 00:15:29 The resolution is agreed to. Democrats carrying it across the finish line. The bill provides more funding for Homeland Security, Health and Human Services, and labor. It also included money for 2,000 new Border Patrol agents and 8,000 detention beds for migrants. Some Republicans demanding more on immigration. We've got to regroup after this and get serious about some real cuts in wasteful spending and in securing the border. But House Republicans torpedoed a border bill their own party negotiated. It could all now put Speaker Johnson's job in jeopardy.

Starting point is 00:16:00 Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene calling it a betrayal that Johnson worked with Democrats, taking the first step to try to oust him. You're calling this a pink slip, a warning sign. The bottom line, you want Speaker Johnson out. Well, I wouldn't have filed a motion to vacate if I didn't. We need a new speaker. This is not personal against Mike Johnson. He's a very good man. And I have respect for him as a person, but he is not doing the job. Just months ago, Kevin McCarthy was removed as speaker after he turned to Democrats and Republicans to reach a deal to fund the government. The House was paralyzed for 22 days. I don't see how she could possibly think this will benefit anyone or the American people.

Starting point is 00:16:41 The Senate now preparing to work through the night to get that bill passed and avert a government shutdown. As for that push to try to oust Mike Johnson, yet another speaker, it's unclear how Republicans plan to move forward. The House is now out on recess for two weeks. So everybody's doing their job. Marjorie Taylor Greene doing her job. Let's argue about all the speakers. Meanwhile, no one's read this thing. I mean, I, of course, downloaded. Let me start reading. Oh, it's a thousand pages. Oh, it's 216,000 words. That breaks, and more math for you today, everybody. That breaks down to five and a half million dollars per word. This is, these people are crazy. They're spending money we don't have. And what's in here, what I've found so far, I mean, the border, exactly as we predicted,

Starting point is 00:17:32 oh, no, we're just going to get more people to process people. Yeah, there you go. There's money in here. I'm sure it's going to go to the International Office of Migrations. Oh, yeah. There's billions upon, oh, 10 million for the task force Here, I'm sure it's going to go to the International Office of Migrations. Oh, yeah. There's billions upon... Oh, $10 million for the task force dedicated to countering the flow of fentanyl. Well, crap, man.

Starting point is 00:17:52 We could get that. Give that $10 million to us. He's throwing it away. Just pissing money in the wind. $3.4 billion for custody operations. That's beds. that's beds that's beds it's all going to go to these bogus non-governmental organizations and it's going to change nothing actually i'm sorry i'm going to go into it now and i i'm going to let you do uh moscow but i go i got to go into this now um so first let's just do a little bit of

Starting point is 00:18:26 replacement migration i said it because that's that's what the the un document says not the great replacement theory no replacement migration it's a united nations document from 2000 it's happening all over the western world so this uh happened at the border uh a couple days ago tonight alarming video from the u.s mexico border a group of migrants pulling down razor wire breaking through this fencing a handful of texas guardsmen pushing them away as they stormed toward the border wall sources tell abc news a group of migrants had been staging in this area in El Paso waiting for Border Patrol agents to arrive. Within hours, about 500 turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents for processing. The Rio Grande River is the international boundary divide.

Starting point is 00:19:19 We don't even need to listen to it. So we all heard about it. You all saw the footage. So now let's go to what's the now the messaging has to come in. And before I even start, I want to reiterate the note that we got from our insider banking professional advisor to the insiders. I'm just going to reiterate this note. I'm just going to reiterate this note. The goal is to get wage inflation in check. I heard you connect bankers and mass migration. I think you're onto something. The goal is to get wage inflation in check so we can go back to irresponsible monetary policy. Central banks do not control inflation

Starting point is 00:19:59 because it's bad for society. They control inflation because it's terrible for banks. You can't lend money at an interest rate that is lower than inflation or you will go bankrupt. But interest rates also can't go up. Everyone is so indebted from 20 years of near zero interest rates, raising them will drive a wave of defaults and banking collapses. What kind of inflation is bad for banks? Well, asset inflation is good for banks because it increases their investments and also strengthens the value of the collateral held against loans wage inflation is what banks worry about so mass immigration assets go up wages go down Bill Maher had two people from Texas on his show.

Starting point is 00:20:53 Beto, Beto the globalist, loser, and this woman, Sarah Isgar, a podcaster. Both. Oh, no. I mean, of all the podcasters in Texas, I pulled a couple clips because they both actually do a great job of explaining exactly what's going to happen and why. But first, let's gaslight everybody. The Republicans are always saying, well, the Democrats just want open borders because they want more voters. Is that completely wrong? It's completely wrong. I mean, the people that they're talking about, the immigrants who are coming in, by law, cannot vote.

Starting point is 00:21:22 They're in asylum application purgatory for six years. But their kids can. Their kids can. That's 18 years down the road. I mean, you think the Democratic Party is able to plan 18 years down the road on anything? I don't buy that. But it really is, there's a real serious dynamic to this and a really dangerous one. This replacement theory that is trafficked by those who are talking about Democrats bringing immigrants in to take the state or the country over politically. Our governor traffics in that, our lieutenant governor. And there was a guy in 2019 who came to El Paso and he posted before he walked into a Walmart, I've come to repel the Hispanic invasion

Starting point is 00:22:05 of Texas. Goes into that Walmart and slaughters 23 people because he believed what Donald Trump and Greg Abbott and all these people were telling him. He was afraid that he was going to lose his power and that this invasion was really going to take over the state. Now, Beto may be a douche, but he's not stupid. He's using very, very tricky words here. Our governor traffics in this, traffics in these theories. And let's all think that those guys are talking about the voter base. Yeah, it's all about the voter base. And, you know, let's remind everybody who we really are.

Starting point is 00:22:39 So I would love to see my party standing up and reminding this country who we are in the first place. We're a country of immigrants and asylum seekers and refugees. And that has made us the leading superpower in the world. And we won't be able to maintain that status without welcoming more. Remember, Beto's in-law family is super rich. I'd say of the banker clique. One quick question. By the way, are you an immigrant?

Starting point is 00:23:04 You? Am I an immigrant? Yeah. No. Are no are you well no i'm not so is every anyone who do how many people you know they're immigrants it's a nation of immigrants makes the implication that every single person's an immigrant if it's a nation of immigrants and asylum seekers not just so that's just a blatant lie in the world and we won't be able to maintain that status without welcoming more people to this country now we've got to do it the right way it's got to be orderly it's got no one no one will look at what's going on now really right and say this is the way an immigration system should work i don't think we need to work on it at all that that's no one has that opinion we're basically funding these cartels

Starting point is 00:23:44 that used to run drugs they don't need to run drugs anymore they run humans ten thousand dollars a pop and you get three tries at the border uh excuse me lady if you think that running people is more profitable than drugs you are an idiot drugs is way more profitable than trafficking people. So she's now, and she's supposed to be the conservative here, she's now gaslighting everybody. Oh, no, the cartel, they've given up on drugs. Pay no attention to the fentanyl addicts.

Starting point is 00:24:16 No, no, no, no. They've given up on drugs. It's people. They don't need to run drugs anymore. They run humans. $10,000 a pop and you get three tries at the border. They're running small children and then leaving them in the desert when they get inconvenient. And then some of those children, they're ending up in places for sex trafficking, in child labor, in agriculture.

Starting point is 00:24:34 We are funding these cartels that are then corrupting the countries from where these people are trying to flee from. We set up the worst system that we could possibly have for immigration it is a crisis to not actually have a border okay so what's happening here is they're both on the same team you'd expect bill maher to have some opposing opinions but these two really they're just let me go they're tag teaming and now beto's gonna launch a couple of memes. The one we already know is the legal pathways. We don't have a border problem. We have a legal pathway problem. So what's the fix?

Starting point is 00:25:12 We need more legal pathways to come to this country. And Sarah's 100% correct. Only Congress can do that. The president has done about almost everything that he can. This DHS appropriations bill that passed the House today, it now, over the course of Biden's presidency, has doubled Border Patrol spending, which is five times greater than what it was 20 years ago. He's added sections of wall. He's deported more people than President Trump ever did. That alone is not going to get it done. You need ways for people to

Starting point is 00:25:41 come here and work the nine million jobs they haven't filled to join family, to flee persecution, and to do it legally. Here's the new meme. Listen for this. There's 9 million jobs we've got to fill. 9 million jobs, which is very close to the 10 million people you're bringing in. 9 million jobs we've got to fill. Well, what about those jobs, Belle? Part of the problem here is the asylum system.

Starting point is 00:26:09 We have this giant magnet. You know, after World War II, we were very understandably and correctly embarrassed by what we did about Jews seeking asylum from Germany. This is interesting. Bring in the Jews. This is how, this is how, it's because of the Jews that we have this asylum system now, because we're very embarrassed when we we didn't let Anne Frank come in Europe.

Starting point is 00:26:31 And so we have this asylum law where if you get to the United States, we are going to hear your asylum claim. Well, unfortunately, that means there's just a huge incentive any way you can to get across that Rio Grande River, because then we have to hear your asylum claim. That's the other thing that only Congress can fix. The President cannot fix that. And as long as that's the rule, that get here and you can stay as long as you say the magic words, I have a credible fear of returning to my country, we're not going to fix the border.

Starting point is 00:26:57 Because it's the only way I agree with you. There are people applying for asylum who should not. But it's because we've we've capped quotas from countries. We don't really have a guest worker program to speak of. There are people who want to come here to do jobs that nobody born in this country is willing to do. Nine million of them unfilled. I bet if we paid them more, they'd be willing to.

Starting point is 00:27:17 It's possible. And we could try that. But I've talked to cotton gin owners in Texas and they say. So hold on a second. I've talked to cotton gin owners in Texas and they say, so hold on a second. She so he says, no, there's jobs, nine million jobs in this country that people don't want to do. They don't want to do these nasty jobs. She pipes in and says, I bet if we paid him higher wages. Oops, that's the opposite of the idea. Is Gar lady.

Starting point is 00:27:41 And then he says, oh, no, no. I've talked to the cotton gin. Literally, we want slaves because we've we've capped quotas from countries we don't really have a guest worker program to speak of guest worker program there are people who want to come here to do jobs that nobody born in this country is willing to do nine million of them unfilled if we paid them more they'd be willing to it's possible and and we could try that but i've talked to cotton gin owners in Texas and they say, it doesn't matter what I pay someone. No one born in Roscoe is willing to do this. I know your clothes aren't made of cotton. We're still using the cotton gin?

Starting point is 00:28:15 We're still using cotton gin. We're still ginning cotton. But the point is, you've got to create more legal pathways. So Beto is saying we need slaves to run the cotton gin, which, of course, is exactly what the he's all raised wages. Well, that might work. We could try it. But really, we need slaves for the cotton gin. And then here's the kicker where Iskar just nails it home. I hate political antics. I really do do the busing was a political antics but boy sure makes a big difference when all of a sudden chicago and boston and new york suddenly notice that we have a migrant problem right no sh*t now that's right and that's exactly what they did and the result is exactly what they wanted here are the union activists in Chicago. Over 100 people gathered at Chicago's

Starting point is 00:29:06 federal plaza, hoping their chance reached the White House. So today we are demanding work permits for all. A mix of long-term undocumented workers, dreamers, and allies of immigrants held a rally demanding President Joe Biden use executive action to grant work permits, not just to new arrivals, but all undocumented people. The narrative is not to take away, you know, resources from one another, you know, putting against one another, but we just feel like it's time and the president has the executive power. Organizers say undocumented people in the country don't have a pathway to obtain a work permit. Most of the individuals that are here have been in the United States for over 20, 30 years. Undocumented workers shared their stories of difficulties they face in the workplace due to lack of having one.

Starting point is 00:29:49 Supporters representing hospitality workers say it's crucial the federal government address this issue. The immigration system is broken. There is no doubt. And we need comprehensive immigration reform to fix it. That's the union lady. Alderman joining the rally. What other country do you know where people have to beg you for the right to work? Every single one. Say this is no longer an issue that can be pushed aside.

Starting point is 00:30:16 Don't come for votes if you don't deliver on the work permits and dignity for our community. The Associated Press reports the president also faces pressure from leaders in his own party over the issue of work permits. We urge President Biden, along with you, to expand work permits for long-term undocumented immigrants. Proving this will be an issue at the forefront of an election year. Hold on a second. Work permits for all.

Starting point is 00:30:40 You're losing me. Because of the logic here. That last thing, that was a union person who said that? No, that wasn't an older person. This is what's happening. It's falling apart. That was an older person. I don't know what her name is. But you heard work permits for all.

Starting point is 00:31:02 They're just saying, oh, no, there's all these. But they're asking the president for an executive order on work permits for all. They're just saying, oh, no, there's all these. But they're asking the president for an executive order on work permits for all. That's what the union people want. And they're there. The union is asking for work permits for all? Yes. The union is. What kind of a union is this?

Starting point is 00:31:18 Good paying jobs. Good paying union jobs. This is a scam. This is exactly what the bankers want. what the union is asking what you what is in this clip if the union a union is asking for that just to let every undocumented worker get a work permit this is not a union that anyone should belong to it's not a union of the workers union it was local one local well that's what that's our union in michigan i'm sorry yeah this is the hospitality workers of course not the cotton gin no they want them for hospitality they want them for chicken plants they want them for

Starting point is 00:32:01 pork plants oh yeah they definitely want them in the meat packing in meat pack well it's not even going to be beef anymore it's just going to be repackaged you're just packing pork pork from china it's an outrage but they're doing it it's it's going to happen and the way you do it is you send them to chicago and the chicago gets all mad oh yeah well you can fix this work permits for all all. It's going to happen. It's a foregone conclusion. Well, if it's based on the fact that we need to lower wages by screwing the union workers, by the way, we have to lower wages to keep the inflation and everything in check and keep the machine working correctly. Yeah, obviously it's going to happen because it's designed to happen and once you can work here i'm pretty sure the next step is you can vote here

Starting point is 00:32:50 that that will happen but uh podcasters uh controlled opportunists stop for a second with the military age men now they're coming here to take your jobs you morons come in here to take your jobs your jobs that's why they're here and is it happening here no it's happening everywhere this is matt goodwin who spoke at the big immigration debate in westminster in the united kingdom most people out there who are not in this debate tonight think that net migration levels are 70,000 a year. They have no idea what's going on. Net migration is 700,000 a year. Over the next 12 years, this country is going to change in ways that we can scarcely imagine. Between my daughter being 2 and 14 years of age, we are going to see another 6.5 million people arrive in Britain.

Starting point is 00:33:44 6.1 million of those because of migration. Immigration is going to represent 92% of all population growth in this country over the next decade. We're going to need about five cities the size of Birmingham to accommodate that kind of growth. We're going to be 70% on the way to another London. You were promised lower controlled, high skill, high wage, highly selective migration. You've been given the opposite of that. You've been given mass, uncontrolled, low skill-wage, non-selective immigration. You were told that's going to strengthen our economy. Every single study that's been done on the kind of migration we now have, low-skill migration from outside of Europe, shows the same thing. It takes more out of the economy

Starting point is 00:34:41 than it puts in. So this is the same that's happening in the Netherlands, in Belgium, in Scandinavia, in Germany, in France. It's all the same. And it would be, I mean, hey, I'd be the last guy to say I don't want a Haitian cooking for me and a guy for the garden for cheap. That'd be great. Unfortunately, you know, this lowers all wages and you can't. you know this lowers all wages and you can't yeah if you're living with 10 people in one apartment which is what these people are forced to do yeah that works but if you're living by the standards that we hope our kids will live at it's not going to work because of the money printing see previous topic of money we don't have 1.2.2 trillion. So there you go.

Starting point is 00:35:26 That's what it is. And we just passed a huge package to process them, to get more people at the border to process them. More beds. But oh no, 300 million for Ukraine and Mike Johnson's got to go. Let's have that be the topic of discussion for the next two months. On a lighter note, Kara Swisher was also on the show.

Starting point is 00:35:56 Your protege. She's not my protege and she says so herself. Kara Swisher was on the show promoting her book, which is a book about how people hate her, I think. It's called Burn Book. Well, you do for sure. I don't hate her. No, I love her.

Starting point is 00:36:15 I love all people. Well, you love her because she provides material, which is money in the bank. I have respect for her. You do? But what's cool about this clip is she does the thing that I do not like about her

Starting point is 00:36:29 where she says, she'll interrupt you and say, but go ahead. You know, the thing that I had to untrain you from. Well, you accused me of developing it in her. Well, she still has it and what's interesting what's fun about this clip is she's a little too slow for bill maher because he turns around and whoops her it was good who's gonna respect you no none of them some of them some of them i think they're

Starting point is 00:37:12 scared a little bit i guess that's good that's what irritated irritated for sure that's the job of media and you know in the back of the book instead of you know you do blurbs on the back of the book i put all the insults they had, like, Elon, you're an asshole. My voice is so shrill, only dogs can hear me, and that my heart is seething with hate. So that's what Elon thinks of me. Which I'm like, look in a mirror, sir. But that's... He's a complicated guy.

Starting point is 00:37:46 Oh, okay, sure, why not? Well, I mean... How about he's just not a complicated guy, he's just a jerk, but go ahead. Okay, well, you know what? No, go ahead, he is complicated. But so are you, so are my. Okay, well, now you just debated with yourself and agreed with me. Yes, I did.

Starting point is 00:38:06 Yes. But go ahead. What an annoying habit that is. I mean, that's okay, but go ahead. Exactly. Could you bump your mic when you do it? That's okay, but go ahead and then bump your mic. But go ahead.

Starting point is 00:38:23 There you go. You're not even doing it right now. I don't even know how you do it. I know what it is. It's not your mic. Go ahead. You're not even doing it right now. I don't even know how you do it. I know what it is. It's not the mic at all. It's just, but it is the mic. Anyway, so that is, in a nutshell, what people should be worried about

Starting point is 00:38:37 is that we just agreed to print up a whole bunch of money we don't have for things that will make our lives worse, and all these dild*s are in on it. Like, oh, yeah, this is great. That's good. We'll get all of our donors. We'll get them all cheap labor,

Starting point is 00:38:57 and I can get a slave out of it myself for my cotton gin. Ridiculous. The cotton gin thing is too funny. He literally brings in slavery. Oh, ridiculous. The cotton gin thing is too funny. He literally brings in slavery. It's crazy. I mean, the messaging is all over that guy. He's not as dumb as I thought he was. He knows what he's doing.

Starting point is 00:39:13 Yeah, he's a messenger. And he just looks dumb. The problem with Beto, he doesn't present well. He looks like an idiot. He's Satan's advocate is what he is. And I guess when he was young, he was a uh when he was young he was a juvenile delinquent well we all have checkered pasts i'm gonna hold my well not your doppelganger who daryl hall of hall and oats josh danielson okay all right so uh let's uh

Starting point is 00:39:44 now that we have that out of the way let's spin the cycle down and let's talk about the Moscow attacks. I believe you have a package. I do. I have four clips for the Moscow attacks. And it's just, they're just, they're kind of interesting. You know, this is still up in the air, what's going on, because the latest is they caught, you know, the guys that they caught trying to escape to ukraine one of them is a ukrainian soldier and you know so putin says it's ukrainians the rcia says it's not but rcia also noticed that it was going to happen they predicted it and they didn't know where so this whole thing is messed up, but let's start with clip one.

Starting point is 00:40:30 Russia is stepping up security after at least 133 people were killed and nearly 200 injured in an attack on a concert hall in Moscow on Friday. The attack, claimed by a group linked to ISIL, was the worst in Russia in decades. President Vladimir Putin has declared Sunday a national day of mourning. Dostoyevari reports from Moscow. You know, just to pause it for a second, what confuses the matter even more is they just, this is Al Jazeera, they said ISIL, which is an Islamic state in the Levant.

Starting point is 00:40:57 They're sticking to it, whether anybody likes it or not. I heard a report that said Daesh, which is another one of those names and then in the u.s we have isis k i mean the branding is all over the place for these guys that's because they don't exist anymore this is bogus yes a scene the morning after one of the worst attacks by an armed group in russia's recent history emotions areions are running high as Russians come to terms with what happened, including those who survived. They started to shoot in our direction. They shot people and threw petrol bombs. People

Starting point is 00:41:35 were panicking and so scared. Only now I understand how lucky I am. It is so terrible what's happened here. I really can't comprehend this. It is an ugly act of terror. They're animals. Heavy security and checkpoints now surround the suburban area about 20 kilometers northwest of the center of Moscow. People have been coming here all day to pay tribute to those who lost their lives in what officials call a terrible tragedy. The task of recovering the

Starting point is 00:42:05 dead is expected to continue for the next few days, as will the mourning of the families of the victims, along with the rest of the country. President Vladimir Putin has called the attack a bloody and barbaric act and vowed revenge. We will identify and punish everyone who was behind the terrorist attack, who prepared this strike against Russia and its people. Okay. Yeah, so this then devolves over time into three theories. One, a Ukrainian attack was in Russia. Right.

Starting point is 00:42:42 Which I kind of subscribe to. uh attack was in russia right which i kind of subscribe to also the other one is that the main operative was a cia guy and this is a cia operation i'll go with the cia mossad for 300 alex and then the third option is the false flag that putin organized just like he blew up nord stream yeah that's my favorite yeah well no more like when he blew up the apartment complex in the Chechnyan area. Which? Nord Stream is not part of this theory. Let's go with part two. No one will be able to sow the poisonous seeds of discord and panic in our multinational society. As a president addressed the nation, hundreds of people queued to donate blood at centers in Moscow.

Starting point is 00:43:27 The FSB security service said four suspects had been arrested while heading to the border with Ukraine and that they had contacts in that country. Ukrainian officials have denied involvement. These pictures purportedly show stores of ammunition seized by officials inside the Caracas City Hall, suggesting the attack was planned in advance. ISIL in Afghanistan has claimed responsibility. Dorsa Jabari, Al Jazeera, Moscow. Here's a question that I don't think is really being asked. To what end this attack? To what end? For what reason? reason i mean the only reason can really be to destabilize the russian government to destabilize putin because he can't keep his people safe that has

Starting point is 00:44:14 regime change written all over it a week after he's re-elected uh president or as some would say dictator that they don't talk about who's into regime change what international organization let me think um catholics in action maybe but let's go with this this analysis which uh blames the whole thing on putin well in his address to the nation president putin said the alleged attackers were arrested whilst fleeing to Ukraine. Ukraine's President Vladimir Zelensky has accused Putin of trying to shift blame to Kyiv for the attack. Instead of addressing Russian citizens, Putin was silent for the whole day, thinking about how to link it to Ukraine. Everything is completely predictable. Rob McBride sends us this update from Kyiv. Ukrainian officials here have dismissed any claims of a Ukrainian connection to this attack.

Starting point is 00:45:15 We've heard from Andriy Yusov, who's a senior representative with military intelligence here, calling such claims nonsense, that the alleged perpetrators were apprehended as they were approaching the border area with Ukraine, saying it's the kind of explanation put out by Russian security, the FSB, for what he called a zombified Russian population, making the point that after more than two years of full-scale war, that border area on the Russian side is so saturated with roadblocks, with soldiers, with security, that if you were trying to escape such an attack and to stay free and escape the law, it's the one place that you would not be heading. We've also heard from the Centre for Countering Disinformation, another government body here, another government agency, which has gone further by suggesting, but without any evidence,

Starting point is 00:46:08 that this may have been the work of Russian special forces as a so-called false flag operation, intimating that Russia has been suspected of conducting such attacks before, around about the turn of the century. That was as a precursor, they say, to the invasion of Chechnya. And the reason that security forces of Russia may have orchestrated or be involved in this attack is as a justification for a new round of mobilization. Rob McBride, Al Jazeera, Keefe.

Starting point is 00:46:41 Now, the reason that I would suspect this is not the case, a false flag, is that in the false flag in Chechnya, the people killed were Chechnyans, not Russians. Yeah. So there's no evidence that Putin and his folk killed their own to create a false flag. There's also this... I'm sorry. their own to to create a false flag there's also i'm i'm sorry i'm also leaning to ukraine because they some reports show that the the route back to ukraine was cleared uh for these guys to escape as opposed to the commentary made by the ukrainians that you can't get through there's too many people too many guys too many robots again ask you then, to what end?

Starting point is 00:47:27 What is the point of Ukraine doing this? Like, ha, we got you. Don't bomb the crap out of Kiev. I mean, what's the point? I don't know. Maybe in clip four we'll learn a little more and then we can discuss it. Domitilla Sagromoso is a senior lecturer in security and development at King's College, London. Yeah, the spook college.

Starting point is 00:47:45 She says Russia's attempt to link Ukraine to the attack in Moscow is unjustified. I think that this is a huge security failure, also because of the audacity of the attack, the number of casualties, which keeps growing, and this big fire which engulfs the place. Also, apparently, there were not many policemen there. It took them quite some time to get there, the sort of the security structures. And that is also quite astonishing because this is a very big place where people were gathering.

Starting point is 00:48:17 So one would have expected some kind of police deployment, if only for internal security reasons, you know. So it is very embarrassing. And what is very sad is that it seems that the Russians are using this to build a connection with Ukraine. So I fear, I very much fear that Ukrainians are going to see massive attacks and massive sort of bombardments or something of that kind coming from Russia, although I don't think they have any connection whatsoever. But this incision that the Ukrainians are somehow behind, you know, helps Putin to sort of divert the attention because where would he attack otherwise?

Starting point is 00:49:00 I mean, he's not going to start bombing Afghanistan. You know, the problem i have and it's interesting because i remember a couple weeks ago i remember there was i was just looking for it now and of course i didn't clip it because i wasn't thinking about it that way i remember a a warning went out from the state department that said, American travelers, also embassy workers or whatever else it was, be careful, terrorist attacks being planned in Russia, particularly large gatherings and concerts.

Starting point is 00:49:36 Oops. That was a little irritating. And then when you have MSNBC, and before we start to discuss it, I'll play two clips here. We have MSNBC bringing on John Brennan. You've got to wonder. Putin had a warning, right?

Starting point is 00:49:55 That even the United States said, Hey, look, uh, this, this could potentially happen. You're in danger, et cetera, et cetera. By the way, that warning was just the public state department warning. It wasn't like a secret phone call to the Kremlin. It was a public warning. Just for the uninformed and uninitiated, we are on the opposite side of Russia. We are defending Ukraine. The Russian Federation. Gee, thanks, douche. I was so uninformed. Wow. Just for the uninformed. Just so you know, we're not with the Russians. We are on the opposite side of Russia. We are defending Ukraine. The the the Russian Federation still considered a problem. There's

Starting point is 00:50:35 there's no issue. There's no question there unless you happen to be a certain kind of Republican. What is the incentive? What was the incentive of the United States to give warnings on terrorist attacks like this to Putin's government? And the fact that this came true, does it in any way thaw relations? Are there any sort of undercover thank yous that are occurring? Or do the Russians just sort of ignore this and say, well, you warned us about something, but that just makes you suspicious in our eyes? The U.S. intelligence community takes very seriously its responsibility. That's called duty to warn. If the U.S. intelligence gets information about planned terrorist attacks against targets around the world and it's credible, it's reliable.

Starting point is 00:51:16 And this and especially if it's specific, which this was, we will share that information with the foreign services, the security and intelligence services. And clearly there was some significant specificity to this when there was reference to concert halls and incoming days. And so the timing of this warning, I think, was very much on target in terms of what happened here. Some could call it an incredible coincidence, but it was on target. Putin, by the way, doesn't take it that way. This is the BBC. A couple of weeks ago, there were warnings from the West, from the US, that extremists could be planning attacks in Russia on large gatherings, including concerts.

Starting point is 00:51:58 Yes, and Vladimir Putin openly rejected that. He dismissed it. He called it blackmail, which is an unusual choice of world i don't quite know what he meant didn't quite know what he meant yeah you do come on i'm a podcaster even i can figure that out you're trying to you're trying you're black you're like hey if i if i don't do if i don't do something that you want me to do you're gonna you're gonna cause some event at a concert it It's that simple. Then we have ISIS, who's, this is a good clip from the BBC.

Starting point is 00:52:31 This is fake news. It wasn't the Islamic State. No! Sergei Markov is a former member of parliament for Vladimir Putin's United Russia Party and a supporter of the president. Julian Warricker asked him for his reaction to the attack. I visited this Krakow City Hall many times and it was a great, very, very big

Starting point is 00:52:53 trade centre, one of the biggest in Russia, in Europe, I think. And also I visited a few times this concert hall and, of course, this is a very big tragedy. Speaking in Russia, here, absolute majority of the people strongly believe that this terrorist attack had been organized by Ukrainian regime. And also some rumors and information from American intelligence is Islamic State, but it's very difficult to believe in this version. Well, let me just go there for a moment, if I may, because the Islamic State group has claimed it carried out the attack, but you're saying that you don't know. Well, that's what they've No, no, no, no, it's wrong information. It was fake news organized from the resources

Starting point is 00:53:40 close to the Ukraine that Islamic State claim that they take responsibility no and the official resources they said but this also old formula had been used by islamic state you know a few years ago have been used for this fake news i love it when he says a fake news and then he starts over modulating he's really upset about this no no no no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I agree with him. This Islamic State thing is bullcrap. For one thing, what are they doing in Afghanistan where the Taliban runs everything? They're not going to put up with these guys. But I think these guys were actually from Kazakhstan. I have a report.

Starting point is 00:54:20 The one guy they caught was from Ukraine. I have a report somewhere that says all four were from Kazakhstan. I mean, maybe it's in this one. This is the CBC, Scandinavians. We heard from the Russian Investors Give Committee. And as well as giving an update on the number of those killed, which we're told included three children, it said the attackers used flammable liquid to set fire to sections of the concert hall last night, that automatic weapons were used in the attack, and that the ammunition left behind at the scene is now undergoing ballistic genetic and fingerprint examination.

Starting point is 00:54:58 Now, ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack. The United States says that claim is credible. And earlier this month, the White House said it had warned Russia of a potential attack in Moscow, that extremists had imminent plans to target large gatherings in the city, including concerts. And as a result, the U.S. State Department advised Americans there to stay away from large gatherings. But those warnings appear to have been dismissed by Russian officials, with Putin even describing them as open blackmail and an attempt to scare and destabilise Russian society. Security in Russia has, as you imagine, now been tightened in response to the attack.

Starting point is 00:55:45 Russia's worst in 20 years. Tomorrow, a day of mourning will be observed to remember the scores of people who were killed and injured. I didn't label it, which I have so many of these reports. But I can't go with Ukraine. I've got to say that this is this is a typical destabilization uh operation and you know and if anything we've got to rekindle that ukraine stuff a little we need we need putin to get mad we need people there did not like him this has us written all over it i i don't like saying it but i i just don't see how what you with ukraine no i just don't see that i can see you got a co*ked up guy running ukraine you guys out of control zolensky and uh yeah i can

Starting point is 00:56:39 see him let's see can we do this yeah i think so we can make a way for the get back. We can do it in an escape. Zelensky is not a good... Just a nutball, cocaine dreamed... He's not in control of anything. He's not... He's an actor. He's just reading his lines. Well, I agree with that, unfortunately, but he does have some sway. Definitely knows how to collect money. Well, let's see what he had to say. Putin's president has reacted angrily to Vladimir Putin's claims that Kiev was involved in a deadly shooting and bomb attack at a concert hall near Moscow on Friday. As we record this podcast, the number of dead stands at 133. Russia says it's arrested all four gunmen who stormed the Kroka City Hall, along with seven other people.

Starting point is 00:57:23 stormed the Kroka City Hall, along with seven other people. In a televised address, Russia's president claimed the gunmen had help from Ukraine and were heading there when captured, despite the Islamic State group saying it carried out the shooting. In the past few hours, Vladimir Zelensky has responded, saying Moscow is predictably seeking to divert blame. What happened on Friday in Moscow, it's obvious that both Russian President Vladimir Putin and his gang are trying to shift responsibility

Starting point is 00:57:55 onto someone else. They always use the same methods. It's already happened. Instead of dealing with his Russian citizens and addressing their concerns, Putin was silent for the whole day, thinking about how to link the events to Ukraine. Everything he does is completely predictable. That's completely US written talking points. Completely U.S. written talking points. Well, this idea of being silent for a whole day seems like a positive thing, not a negative thing where you jump the gun and just start yammering. But the whole point of Zelensky saying he's not, you know, is calming his Russian people.

Starting point is 00:58:38 This is a destabilization action. Clearly. And I can only point towards douchebags who are running the show. And it's probably the out-of-control intelligence community. And it also obfuscates one other little thing that took place. Coming into this summit, EU leaders had to deliver additional support for Ukraine and more pain for Russia. So for Kiev, they agreed to buy more weapons using interest earned from Russian central bank assets frozen in Europe. But the Kremlin has been sending threats over this decision.

Starting point is 00:59:17 The commission and council presidents were asked if they feared Russia's retaliation. So this now this is interesting because now we're going to hear all the nut jobs from the EU who are stealing the money, stealing it, and then pretending they're giving it to Ukraine, but no, they're going to give it to us, to our military industrial base, as it's now called, 90% of it, and that's just fine. That's just exactly what we should do, Queen Ursula and the other guys. We are not intimidated by Russia, and that's why we are making decisions to support Ukraine

Starting point is 00:59:50 and to counter Russia and to sanction Russia. And we think this is fair, that the revenues of those foreign states will be used for Ukraine, because they are a victim of this role of aggression launched by Russia. So it's fair that we take Russia's money and give it to American defense companies. That's fair. That's fair. We did the move because we are convinced that it's the right way to go. Russia has to pay for what it is doing in Ukraine.

Starting point is 01:00:23 And it's fully aligned with the development of our G7 partners. Oh. To increase pressure on Moscow, the Commission proposed tariffs. Notice she didn't say NATO. She said our G7 partners. I thought that was interesting. Fully aligned with the development of our G7 partners. To increase pressure on Moscow,

Starting point is 01:00:45 the Commission proposed tariffs on its grain. It said Russia exported agri-products worth 1.3 billion euros to the EU last year. That's about 1% of the bloc's market. We do not want Russia to have any kind of revenues from the EU agri-food market, for example, the grain market. So putting tariffs on Belarusian and Russian grain is taking away their competitiveness.

Starting point is 01:01:14 This is very interesting because now all of a sudden, she's talking about Belarus, but she says Belarusian grain, that's with one S. Belarusian grain is what it really is. Belarus is in between Russia and Ukraine. So now these people are getting screwed in this deal too. This move makes clear that we do not want Russian grain or Belarusian grain on the EU market. But transit is still possible. But traders say this is mostly symbolic because Russian and Belarusian exports to the EU are low,

Starting point is 01:01:48 especially compared to those from Ukraine, which farmers in Europe have been protesting against for months. This is causing tensions. And member states, France and Poland, want the EU to stop allowing Ukrainian grain into the bloc in order to appease angry farmers yeah this is a beautiful little uh thing they've done here on the sideline is let's stop more grain uh from coming in so we can up the guys we need ukrainian grain sorry sorry 70 000 uh protesting polish farmers sorry sorry no it's just not going to happen. We won't know, of course, what really happened here for a while. I do have a Scott Ritter with Judge Knapp.

Starting point is 01:02:34 Before you go to Scott, let me mention that there's been a lot of reports out of Italy, which has been the target of the russian grain exports which are not included in the other sanctions and they've flooded the italian market with durham wheat for pasta making oh and all the other for the locals in particular that's it's collapsed the Lapsed the price of wheat in Italy, but made pasta really cheap. Well, I guess that's kind of good. I mean, isn't that what they...

Starting point is 01:03:11 But nobody talks about that in this discussion. That's weird. No. Is it, though? Is it weird? No, none of it's weird because this is all schemed all schemed and all we're doing is picking at the morsels i'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun you racist piece of sh*t there we go pasta glock i got my pasta glock locked and loaded let's go to uh scott ritter he uh

Starting point is 01:03:42 he he does know some things and let's see what he had to say there with Judge Knapp on judging freedom. We never thought the Russians could do what they're doing. We thought by sanctioning Russia that they would collapse. So what's happened now is that we've sanctioned Russia and Russia hasn't collapsed. Russia has built this, you know, assembled this vibrant defense industry that's outproducing all of NATO and producing good weapons. The Russians are now, I love the people who go, NATO is expanding. We brought in Finland. We brought in Sweden. The Russians went, that's all right. We're going to create 14 new divisions, you know, dozens of new brigades and checkmate. But see, the Russians have a system

Starting point is 01:04:25 that can do that now. And so now what we're doing is to justify what we've done. People are saying, well, we have a new strategy and that is we're going to try and repeat what happened in the 1970s and 80s where we got in an arms race with the Russians and we bankrupted them. We got them to spin themselves into oblivion. But that's not happening. You know what's going to happen? You know who's going to spin themselves into oblivion? We are. United States and NATO.

Starting point is 01:04:50 Because Russia is so far ahead of us right now, we have to play catch up. I love Ritter, man. Yeah, he's funny. I got one more clip from him. The European countries are talking about going to a war footing to catch up. America is looking at a revitalized Russian strategic nuclear force, and we go, everything they got outclasses what we have. So we have to get new submarines, new ICBMs, new bombers.

Starting point is 01:05:17 Congress, just so people understand, the replacement missile for the Minuteman III, the ground-based deterrent system or whatever they call it, the United States Air Force is going to cost, you know, a couple hundred billion dollars. That's a lot of money, by the way. But it just got through its first funding review benchmark by law. And by law, if early on in these programs, if you're already like 12% over, Congress has to call a halt and review it. Otherwise, you're heading down a path where what should have been a $100 million fighter becomes a $12 billion fighter. They were 22% over

Starting point is 01:05:54 already. I'm telling the American people right now, this ballistic missile that we want to replace the Minuteman III with is going to cost over a trillion dollars. And here's the thing, it isn't going to work. The bomber that we're going to get to replace the B-2 is going to cost over a trillion dollars. And here's the thing. It isn't going to work. The bomber that we're going to get to replace the B-2 is going to cost far more than they say it's going to cost. And it isn't going to work the way we want it to. What you've just described is an extraordinary, monumental, catastrophic waste. Judge, you know, the Pentagon has run multiple audits, and they've admitted themselves that, know there's a trillion that's with a t dollars over a trillion dollars worth of stuff

Starting point is 01:06:31 they just don't know what happened to it yeah oh yeah well okay so give them more give them more more more more more if you have kids uh who are out of school and looking for a job, they better be looking in the defense industry. Yeah. That's our business now. Pharma or defense. Yeah. Let's go back to MSNBC because they're always fun to listen to. What do we know about this group?

Starting point is 01:06:59 It's called ISIS-K, ISIS-Khorasan, which has claimed responsibility. Yeah, actually, we know quite a bit, Ali. They've left a trail of destruction over the past few years with huge attacks, a little bit like what we saw yesterday in Moscow. Now, the group was founded back in 2015 in Afghanistan by former members of the Taliban, for whom that group was not extreme enough. They thought the Taliban was too moderate. So this is the same group that

Starting point is 01:07:25 attacked Afghans who were trying desperately to leave their country as American troops withdrew back in 2021. You remember that horrendous attack that killed as many as 170 civilians and 13 American servicemen at Kabul's international airport. And just this year in January, they struck again, this time in Iran. And they claimed credit for a huge bombing that killed 84 people at a memorial procession for an Iranian commander and intelligence chief who had been killed by the Americans by a drone a few years earlier. And just like we're seeing with this attack in Moscow, there was a similar pattern. The U.S. says that they had warned the Iranians that terrorists were planning something and their warnings were ignored. And U.S. intelligence has said that last night's attacks, as you mentioned, that they were indeed related to that warning two weeks ago that apparently went unheeded. I like MSNBC because they're so obviously a megaphone for the intelligence community with Brennan.

Starting point is 01:08:22 I mean, it's so obvious that, well it's isis it's isis k it's isis um but there's skepticism stephanie rule favorite of the boys at the goldman sachs trading floor well what about skepticism around isis yes they've claimed responsibility but they did not prove any they didn't provide any proof of this and the claim did come from an isis affiliated news agency on telegram again not exactly a trusted source that's correct stephanie it's not exactly a trusted source they have executed other attacks and taken claim for them some of the accounts that i've seen are remarkably you know credible in the sense that they do take claim and they do uh annotate attacks that happen around the world and take responsibility for it.

Starting point is 01:09:06 So that's it. That's the source. Some dude on Telegram. Oh, ISIS. Come on. I always wonder why Telegram is still an app. That's got to be the op app. That's the reason. The op app is what it is. Unbelievable. Okay, one more from MSNBC.

Starting point is 01:09:27 I looked up a little bit about the group that was performing. It's a rock band that's been around since the late 70s called Picnic. They actually were banned from performing in the Ukraine since 2016 because they performed in Crimea. Do you think that there was any sort of symbolism to this? Do you think that that that not just the venue, but the band had anything to do with this? Or do you really think, again, it's more likely to be ISIS because it doesn't fit the strategy of the Ukrainian army? They should have asked me to answer this question. I can tell you all about the rock band Picnic.

Starting point is 01:09:58 Yes, indeed. I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know the answer. I do know the band, by the way. I love't know. That's a great question. I don't know the answer. I do know the band, by the way. I love the band. Kind of a hippie band from the late 70s, early 80s. It's not a pro-Putin kind of group that would be there if I were guesstimating. But I don't know of any particular reason why they would strike there, other than the fact that the owner of this complex is close to Mr.

Starting point is 01:10:27 Putin. So maybe that is why they targeted this particular place. Oh, goodness gracious. Just filling up the airwaves, people. Wasting my time. I'd like to reclaim some of my time from all this nonsense. And in the meantime, that was, it was quite destructive, man. The fire was just, that was a nice looking building too. Downtown Moscow is, is modern looking.

Starting point is 01:10:54 Well, that's, it wasn't downtown. That thing's pretty much on the outside. But even when you see shots of Moscow, it's like, wow, they got some pretty cool buildings.

Starting point is 01:11:01 That's what Tucker says, you know? Oh, well, the last time I was there, it was very Soviet-ish. Oh, the hotel that I stayed in in 1988 is closed. It doesn't even exist. I stayed at the Mirror.

Starting point is 01:11:14 It was just spelled N backwards N-R. And that place was known as the place where all the diplomats stayed. By the way, Tucker was just there. Hmm, coincidence? I did pick up a great little... Interesting point nobody's picked up on. No, of course not. I got this clip, which was a nice one.

Starting point is 01:11:41 It's from a professor. His name is Ola Tunander. He is, I believe, Norwegian, and he was speaking at a conference called the Totalitarian Media Machine. Yeah. Now he's not like that. Yeah. Well, I've put the, of course, the link to the full video on the show notes. He's not a great speaker. I had to cut out a lot. It's not his native tongue, but he gives us the genesis of two of our favorite terms. and that number one, full-scale invasion. He has the genesis of these two terms. How could you succeed to get the media to think in these terms? What happened was that they spoke about a full-scale invasion, Putin's full-scale invasion. invasion. That was said by Dimitri Kuleba in the early morning, the 24th of February, exactly two years ago. And every journalist quoted him. And if you listen to the news in Norway and probably

Starting point is 01:12:59 in other countries, when they start to speak about Ukraine, they start with the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. You couldn't mention the Ukraine or the war in Ukraine without saying the full-scale invasion. And the same is about the unprovoked attack. Where does it come from? Where does it come from? Early in the morning, the 24th of February, Boris Johnson spoke about Putin's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. And then later in the day, President Biden spoke about Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. It's clear that if you will succeed, you have to create a truth from the very early hours.

Starting point is 01:13:50 I mean, a so-called truth. I mean, a hegemonic discourse, you could say. You have to create it from the very early hours of the event, of the war. And that was what was done. The day before, or one day and a half before, he was at the White House. So he met President Biden, he met Secretary Austin. But this means they have briefed him about, you know, more or less what to say.

Starting point is 01:14:25 Yeah. So we need to pay attention to these things that are put into the media at the beginning of the crisis of the event, such as ISIS. Unprovoked attack. Well, we picked up on unprovoked attack. Yes. And full-scale invasion pretty quickly. Because the unprovoked part is bogus

Starting point is 01:14:47 yeah and i think we've developed that thesis pretty yeah you know that that guy goes into it and he says you know this was that's obviously not true yeah well it's been analyzed to death the unprovoked part yeah i just i just wish i could find... Oh, wow, this is interesting. You know that Jack Prosobiec guy? Yeah. Naval Intelligence? Yeah. Always on Banyan's war room?

Starting point is 01:15:14 Yeah, he's there. Oh, yeah, yeah. And can you... If you're Naval Intelligence, can you ever not be Naval Intelligence after that? Well, generally, that where uh woodward came from oh another fine specimen and so woodward was naval intelligence and he who knows what he is working who he's working for now but he's the one they they somebody's writing his books because he's just not it's not possible to do the books he does unless you have sources that are deep within the

Starting point is 01:15:41 intelligence agencies well he makes an interesting point interesting point about Ukraine's involvement in this Russian catastrophe at Krokus, which is, you know, you're thinking right now that Ukraine was doing this. And he has an interesting point about that. Well, this is what they do, Alex. They'll tell you they're going to attack Russia. You've got the u.s embassy again coming out two weeks ago and there were people had posted it at the time that this is a very straight usually when the u.s embassy puts out you know specific responses the state department uh warnings guidance they'll say uh you know situations are destabilizing be careful don't you know avoid situations are destabilizing. Be careful. Don't, you know, avoid these areas, that kind of thing. No, this was specific. It was specific events. It was a specific time frame. Forty eight hours. Do not go to concerts. It specifically said concerts and

Starting point is 01:16:36 specifically said extremists. Now, we're also being told, Alex, right now that the White House itself is distancing itself from the attack, saying that there's no knowledge of Ukraine or any Ukrainians being involved. I said, wow, that's a very quick investigation that you were able to conduct. Amazing that you already know exactly what took place as it's currently happening. Just like the Russians blew up Nord Stream, just like they blamed the Russians for Nord Stream day one. But Alex, here's the key. The key to this is people need to understand that if the U.S., right, the U.S. government must, absolutely must distance themselves from this attack. Because if there is a link to Ukraine in this, then that means that the money that the Congress is currently spending going to send up to the Senate, send to the White

Starting point is 01:17:25 House for the signature, is going to fund attacks like this around the world. Attacks on civilians, attacks on women, attacks on people going to concerts. That means that the United States, if this is true, that means that if the United States is involved in this, then guess what, boys and girls, then that would mean that the United States was funding terrorism and terrorist attacks around the world. Good point. Yeah. That was that was Infowars.

Starting point is 01:17:52 Yes. Yes. You said War Room. No, I said he's been on War Room. Oh, I see. Yeah. No, no, no. This is this was, of course, is Infowars.

Starting point is 01:18:01 It's where we get all our information from. Rarely. thank God. So, man, you know, there's a lot going on. I mean, basically, no, I mean, I would extrapolate differently. No. We use Russia's money that we stole from Euroclear

Starting point is 01:18:19 to fund Ukraine and so indirectly it's Russia's fault. They're funding terrorism. Yeah. Well, that would be some logic I would expect in one of the back rooms. Somewhere.

Starting point is 01:18:35 Somewhere. It's also very sad. Are we now in a Cold War? I mean, Putin hasn't... I't i mean yeah he says ukraine but i don't know it's all dependent on whether trump gets elected and i don't even know if that's if i'm correct on that trump could have been co-opted by now we have no idea The whole thing, nothing could change. Well, I think you take that position. The Trump thing is great now because at the last hour, at the last hour, Hail Mary.

Starting point is 01:19:16 It's beautiful. He needs, you know, half a billion dollars. Oh, baby. Oh, baby. Donald Trump's social media platform is seeking to merge with a little-known public company. That company's shareholders are scheduled to vote on the merger later this morning. It's a shell company. It was specifically created to merge with Trump's company.

Starting point is 01:19:38 In markets, it's called a backdoor listing. It's a way to go public in a different way from a traditional IPO. And later this morning, shareholders need to actually approve the merger. The big question is if we're going to see enough shareholders show up to vote. If that goes through, though, that would be fantastic news for President Trump. He would own over 50% of the new company. That would be worth over $3 billion. That's three with a B, a huge chunk of change. Okay. So $3 billion, like you said, a huge chunk of change. Is Truth Social worth that much? No, it is not. I mean, let's look at the numbers. This is a company that only had over

Starting point is 01:20:18 $3 million in sales for the first nine months of last year. That's three with an M this time. And he lost nearly $50 million. Nonetheless, the value here is President Trump. Without Trump, there is no truth social. He has millions of supporters. And right now, a lot of the shareholders in the deal are believed to be Trump supporters. They are the true believers. They are people who want to support Trump no matter what.

Starting point is 01:20:41 And they will happily buy the shares. How soon will those shares start trading? Well, if the shareholders do approve the deal today, it would start trading as a new company by next week. It could be very volatile, I'm told. But hey, it would now be officially called Trump Media and Technology Group with a new stock symbol, DJT, Donald J.T. Donald J. Trump. This is beautiful. So, of course, these reports are really bogative. Oh, yeah. For one thing, it's not called a backdoor listing. It's a SPAC. It's a

Starting point is 01:21:15 SPAC, and nobody wants to use that because it's kind of discredited, but it still works. I have some more clips here. And this idea that it's worthless or it's like overvalued at three or six or it overlooks the fact that Reddit, which has never made a nickel, even though True Social has made a million dollars, Reddit hasn't made a nickel is worth nine point five billion dollars as of today, let me play the Reddit clip. Social media company Reddit rose 48% yesterday. Chief operating officer, Jen Wong says the artificial revolution is at the center of Reddit's value proposition. I love the artificial revolution, not artificial value proposition.

Starting point is 01:21:57 What? That's what she said. One of those buzzwords, which I just detest, which, what's your value proposition for the No Agenda show? Wait, then she says the artificial revolution. She forgets the intelligence word. She combined it with value proposition, which makes no sense. Chief Operating Officer Jen Wong says the artificial revolution is at the center of Reddit's value proposition. Large language models need data to train on.

Starting point is 01:22:21 Reddit's value proposition. Large language models need data to train on. And when you look at Reddit's corpus, 19 years of human experience, organized by topic with moderation and relevance, that's incredibly important to building both a chat capability and the freshness of information. So that's an area where we see opportunity. And Reddit's Jen Wong tells Bloomberg the firm is also in the early stages of allowing third parties to license access to data on the platform. Yes, Reddit brings a fresh corpus to the table. The corpse.

Starting point is 01:22:56 This is great. Wow. How bad is AI going to suck if it's built on Reddit? Well, before you go there, i do want to play my one ai clip oh bro okay i want we'd have to go back though we got to go back to trump in a moment okay yeah this is a this is actually relates to trump all right where is it michael cohen uses ai oh no oh here we go in new york a federal judge won't sanction trump's former attorney michael cohen cohen accidentally gave his lawyer fake case citations generated by artificial intelligence the judge

Starting point is 01:23:32 called it embarrassing but he refused to end cohen's supervised release cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to campaign finance violations and tax evasion. I thought we knew this. I thought this was already an old story. We did know it, but we didn't play this clip. Artificial intelligence. This is using AI to do legal briefs. It just makes stuff up. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:23:58 Artificial intelligence is a direct insult to God. It's no good. All right, let's go back to MSNBC. Let's talk about this uh spack that merger between trump social's parent company and digital world acquisitions was two and a half years in the making but there's a story to be told that provides some important context to trump's current situation and it involves tiktok a conservative pack and a really rich man named jeffrey yas yas yas Yass is the Pennsylvania billionaire owner of the financial firm Susquehanna International Group.

Starting point is 01:24:31 He's a conservative mega donor and a major investor who has a thirty three billion dollar stake in ByteDance, the Chinese parent company that owns TikTok. Keep that in mind. Reuters identified Yass as the top donor of this election season, having donated, quote, more than 46 million dollars to Republican causes so far in the 2024 election cycle. Data from political donations tracker Open Secrets shows. Oh, things get deep here. Things get interesting. Yass, Yass is a part of this. Yass is also a major donor to the conservative nonprofit group Club for Growth. It was through Club for Growth that... By the way, if we had a meeting, you and I would, I think, recommend not using that name. Club for Growth.

Starting point is 01:25:20 It just doesn't sound right. But it sounds like you've got a club and you're going to hit growth in the head with it. Like you've got a club foot and you need to grow. I don't know. It's just no good. Trump and Yass recently got acquainted. And this is where things began to catch the critics' attention. Trump had a falling out with Club for Growth during the 2022 midterms. The two camps split on whom to support in some key races.

Starting point is 01:25:44 But earlier this year, they mended fences with a little help from Yass, who was one of the people who reached out to the former president about attending Club for Growth's retreat this year. So on March 1st, Donald Trump accepted the invitation and attended the group's retreat in Palm Beach. He even gave a speech at the gathering, during which he gave Yassass a shout out, calling the billionaire, quote, fantastic. Then six days later, on March 7th, Trump suddenly announced that he'd changed his mind about TikTok and came out against banning it. This was a significant reversal, especially considering that in 2020, while he was still president, Donald Trump signed an executive order that stated, quote, the United States must take aggressive action against the owners of TikTok to protect our national security, end quote. Steve Bannon, who served in the Trump

Starting point is 01:26:36 administration, suggested that Trump changed his stance for, quote, the Yas coin. coin oh so maybe because of course trump will have a six-month lockup on uh this reverse ipo this spack deal if it's worth three billion i mean this is kind of fun if it's worth three billion his his stake so the company's worth six billion just the market cap based upon shares and price even if it goes you know even it goes down by half um you know he can get a collar on that real easy anyone i've been if i had the money yeah here you go he's 500 he's 500 he could get a collar very easily and again that's what he do and this whole thing is a little suspicious every single Trumper out there is going to go and start buying the stock. I would think this will be like like what was that?

Starting point is 01:27:31 What's that? Reddit. Yeah. What's that group? No, the the the the apes, the apes who buy who make made AMC go through the roof. Oh, you mean or GameStop? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those guys. Those guys. Oh, you mean our GameStop? Yeah, yeah, yeah, those guys.

Starting point is 01:27:45 Those guys. Yeah, those guys. The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, quote, Jeffrey Yass's firm was the largest institutional shareholder as of December in the company that has merged with Truth Social.

Starting point is 01:27:59 Susquehanna has held the stock in Digital World Acquisitions Corp since the merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp. since the merger between Digital World Acquisition Corp. and Trump Media was first announced in October of 2021. All right, then we know Trump's a negotiator. That's what he claims. This is a sneaky way to get out of everything. But they all want him. They all want Letitia James to take his building. This is no fun. He can't pull this off at the end.

Starting point is 01:28:27 All week, his lawyers have insisted Donald Trump lacks the cash he needs to secure a bond to cover a nearly half-billion-dollar civil fraud judgment. Tonight, Trump is claiming he does. He just wants to spend it elsewhere. I currently have almost $500 million. I have the money. I just choose not to spend it on this nonsense okay how about the things to buy he just wants to spend it elsewhere i currently have almost 500 million

Starting point is 01:28:51 dollars in cash trump wrote on social media a substantial amount of which i intended to use in my campaign but trump hasn't offered any proof he actually has 500 million dollars in cash no evidence trump hasn't put any of his own money into his campaign since 2016. Oh, no. The former president has until Monday to post a bond, or New York Attorney General Letitia James told us she'll take action. If he does not have funds to pay off the judgment,

Starting point is 01:29:16 then we will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court, and we will ask the judge to seize his assets. But tonight, a potentially new... She's so breathy, isn't she? I will ask the judge to seize his assets but tonight a potentially new she's so breathy isn't she i will ask the court she's terrible this is like she's breathy she's breathy more and more inclined to like i'm not i've already bought into the idea that uh mo brought up which is that this is a these black women are an outrage and they're going to be taken down one by one. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:29:49 Oh, yeah. Everything they're doing with Trump, they put a black person in front. You stand there, you do it. If it works, great. Yeah, black woman. Yeah, mainly black woman. They got Eric Adams kind of a black woman. To pay off the judgment.

Starting point is 01:30:04 He's not really doing anything. We will seek judgment enforcement mechanisms in court and we will ask the judge to seize his assets. But tonight, a potentially new source of income for Trump. Investors voting today to take Trump's struggling social media company public. His stake on paper, roughly three billion dollars. That may sound like a windfall, David, but unless Trump gets special permission from shareholders, he cannot convert that stake into cash for six months. That's someone who doesn't know what they're talking about. No, everybody doesn't know.

Starting point is 01:30:35 One person has mentioned the potential for buying a collar. And that is a very common way that's been done over the last decade or more for these IPO people. I hate to do this to you. I did not get these clips. It's the Jones conglomerate. I do have a Brooks-Capehart duo. This takes a lot of nerve. Hey, it's your boy it's it's it's steve who did this okay it's your boy with steve is playing both sides of the fence he's trying to up he's trying to

Starting point is 01:31:16 leapfrog his brother here we go this is uh brooks uh these are two opposite sides of the spectrum, we're told. Brooks and Capehart on PBS News R. Meantime, Donald Trump needs to find half a billion dollars, and he has to find it fairly quickly. He has until Monday to post a bond covering the full amount of the $454 million civil fraud judgment against him as he appeals this ruling. And if he can't somehow find the money, the New York AG, Letitia James, she might start seizing some of his assets to help cover that obligation. David, for any candidate running for public office, especially the presidency,

Starting point is 01:31:53 who is short on cash and who has to find $454 million, that is a serious liability. And it also raises, in this case, some national security questions. Oh! Yeah, I mean, I have a few problems with the seizure. Associated Press did a good survey.

Starting point is 01:32:09 They looked at 70 years of cases like this. And in cases where there was no clear victim, they've never seized assets before. And so if the people who claim a lot of this is a political witch hunt, I think that Associated Press, I found it kind of alarming that the Trump case is not being treated like the other cases. Nonetheless, it is what it is. And so he's got to raise a lot of money really fast. And can he do it through Truth Social, his very weird online social media outlet? What's weird about it?

Starting point is 01:32:41 It's weird. It's struggling. It's failing. It's no good. But Reddit is great with no money how can it be it's actually got positive cash flow my understanding oh really yeah it is what it is and so he's got to raise a lot of money really fast uh and can he do it through truth social his very weird uh online media outlet, is on the market. Suddenly it would boost his network $3 billion, which is also troubling because it made, in the first nine months of last year, it made $3.3 million and it's valued at $3 billion.

Starting point is 01:33:18 So it looks to me like another form of fundraising disguised as investment. And that is already crooked. And then you take what a desperate Donald Trump is likely to do. Wait, that. And that is already crooked. And then you take what a desperate Donald Trump is likely to do. That's crooked. It's crooked. But Reddit and all these classic IPOs out of Silicon Valley aren't. I'm glad we're here to set the record straight. So it looks to me like another form of fundraising disguised as investment. And that is already crooked. And then you take what a desperate Donald Trump was likely to do, do what his son-in-law did, go to the Saudis and get some money. And it just opens up for a desperate Donald Trump all sorts of corrupt possibilities.

Starting point is 01:33:58 This is new. The desperate Donald. Desperate Donald. We haven't heard this one. It's nice alliteration. Donald, desperate Donald. We haven't heard this one. It's nice alliteration. Yeah, I want to mention that I watched this particular back and forth and found it unclippable. But OK, you may. But OK, go ahead. And I have to disagree. I have to disagree with David. No, take the properties. If he's if any of us at the table were in that situation, we would be in serious trouble. And, you know, it would be within the right of the attorney general to say, you know, we we're going to take your golf club or we're going to take your, we're going to take your tower. And, you know, quite honestly, I would love to see the AG, the New York attorney general do that because then it would be like the most tangible sign for

Starting point is 01:34:40 the nation, the world, and for Donald Trump, that you have been held accountable. I love the take your tower. Take your tower. This asshole, this guy is the worst. When he's an editor at the Washington Post, he should be ashamed of himself. I love when he says, you took my tower. You sunk my battleship. I mean, take my tower.

Starting point is 01:35:04 That's what they want. Oh what a what a show what a show front row seat once again and what how many more months do we have with this nonsense oh it's and if if trump wins the presidency we have another four years we're gonna have to retire after that that's it after trump's first or second or whatever term it'll be, we're done. Exit. We have to exit. I don't think I can do it anymore. It's pretty intense. It was easier with COVID

Starting point is 01:35:35 and we got more income during COVID than this analysis of the political situation, which is horrible. COVID was better. COVID was better. COVID was better. COVID was better than this nonsense. To break up the scheme of things, I do have a couple of clips that have not been picked up by any media in the United States.

Starting point is 01:35:59 It's from Australia. Oh, okay, good. And it will be because it's a great story, and I guarantee it will be on Gutfeld. Oh, boy. Because it's such a classic Gutfeld style of something to analyze. This is a story about a big sperm whale in Australia being tracked by 30 orcas in a pod, as they call them. Orcas are in a pod. And these 30 orcas, and one of them was huge,

Starting point is 01:36:31 was going to get this whale. And this is the whale clips. Let's play clip one. Now, a sperm whale off the coast of Western Australia has used a secret, actually a stinky weapon, to repel a pod of orcas. The whale released its massive bows, triggering a poonami,

Starting point is 01:36:50 which washed over the unsuspecting orcas. Oh, there we are. Marine biologist Jenna Tucker witnessed the dramatic defence mechanism. I wonder how she's coping now and joins us now from Perth. Good morning. How are you coping? Yeah, yeah. Still processing everything, definitely.

Starting point is 01:37:10 So is this, I mean, how unusual was this, let's describe it as a defence mechanism? Yeah, so there definitely aren't very many recorded accounts of it around the world um yeah definitely wasn't expected to see that kind of thing happen oh right but uh stinky but brutally effective right yeah yeah it actually um did seem to work to sort of ward off a group of about 30 killer whales. So, yeah, unusual but effective method. Right. So, I mean, this is obviously a cause of great excitement for people who study these mammals. And obviously, I mean, the whole whale world is talking about it.

Starting point is 01:37:59 Yeah, yeah. An extremely rare event to witness, but also to be able to document the way that we could. We have some incredible wildlife photographers on board. And yeah, yeah, just a really significant thing to have been able to record in the detail that we did. Poonami! that we did. Yes.

Starting point is 01:38:26 Now the, um, she is so shy. This woman, and she's embarrassed to be talking about this. I have no idea. But I mean, it's like, we're,

Starting point is 01:38:33 we're childish. I mean, there's 15 year olds in us, but these guys, like he just keeps going pun after pun after pun. Oh man. But, uh,

Starting point is 01:38:44 so this, it wraps here with the, with no moreummy. Oh, man. But, so, it wraps here with no more good puns, but it's fascinating that the, I guess, the blast of poop in the faces of 30 orcas, they couldn't stand it,

Starting point is 01:38:57 but they couldn't break rank, I guess, because they stay in these pods. And so, they just scattered. They just said, oh, we're not putting up with this.

Starting point is 01:39:05 And I'm wondering whether it was just a frightening aspect of being tracked by these killers, and maybe that's why you pooped, as opposed to doing it on purpose. But here we go to finish it up. Did the so-called punami last for long? We're just showing our viewers pictures of it, of some whales now.

Starting point is 01:39:22 Or did it quickly, how should we say, dissipate? It did dissipate reasonably quickly, but we didn't stick around for too long. We actually, the orca pretty much moved off straight after that and we followed them to try and get some more clues as to what had sort of gone on there. Just looking at the size of sperm whales I'm guessing the boughs of said sperm whales would be quite huge. Yes yeah. And a very a very strong defense mechanism as a result in terms of the amount of stuff that comes out. Yeah, yeah, definitely that and a combination of

Starting point is 01:40:06 their really intense bonds and the way they grouped and huddled together and just wouldn't sort of break that formation. So, yeah. Yeah, I mean, fascinating stuff. Jenna, Taka, in Perth, thank you so much for getting up very early to talk about it. And we wish you all the best going through just how this happened why this happened and perhaps it may happen again with other sperm whales yeah yeah thank you so much thank you jenna okay i am now banning any more punami clips forever this is this that way i mean okay one clip, sure. Two? Poonami. Two Poonami clips? Hmm. All right.

Starting point is 01:40:47 I'm going to move it into Israel, Gaza. That should have gotten Clip of the Day, by the way. No. Not complaints. My goodness. This is not in American media at all yet, but you watch. Oh, wow. Yes, of course, because why do we talk about anything useful?

Starting point is 01:41:04 Poonamiami there you go that's right yeah it's almost as useless as some of the stuff that they put into this spending bill there has been a lot of back and forth around democrats would call them like culture war add-ins uh to some of these things related to uh whether it's lgbtq issues or trans issues how is that how has that sorted itself out i mean what would you point to in this package these things related to whether it's LGBTQ issues or trans issues. How is that? How has that sorted itself out? I mean, what would you point to in this package that Americans should be paying attention to?

Starting point is 01:41:30 Yeah, I think it's I think it's really interesting. I mean, if you see the statement, I think the same girl, the Poonami girl. No, no, no. Different attention to. Yeah, I think it's I think it's really interesting. I mean, if you see the statements, as you mentioned, if you see statements, both sides are like, this is a Democratic win. sides are like, this is a Democratic win. Republicans are like, this is a Republican win.

Starting point is 01:41:47 But, you know, no one got, like, everything that they wanted, right? And that's how these things work. I think, you know, Johnson is coming to terms that you're not going to get everything in it. But what they did get is 24% increase in migrant beds while they're awaiting their immigration proceedings or removal from the country.

Starting point is 01:42:03 They were able to get the removal of any flags that are not official U.S. flags, like LGBTQ pride flags from U.S. diplomatic sites. So that was a win. So they're outlawing pride flags at U.S. diplomatic sites. Yes. Wait a minute.

Starting point is 01:42:19 Hold on a second. Why would somebody be putting an LGBTQ, whatever it is, flag on a U.S. embassy? Where have you been? They do that all the time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They do it all the time. What are we drinking?

Starting point is 01:42:38 Now that you ask. Yeah, Phoebe wants to know. The dog's asking. Phoebe wants to know. Lagunitas Brewing Hoppy Refresher Berry Lemon Flavored. Ooh, that sounds good. Phoebe, good girl. Come here.

Starting point is 01:42:52 It does sound good. Sounds good. Let me taste it. Phoebe. Hoppy. We had a resolution which was vetoed by China and Russia for a ceasefire. So for once, it's not us. In your reading of the resolution, because I found it a little bit ambiguous, would the ceasefire under this resolution be called for

Starting point is 01:43:22 whether or not the hostages were at the same time released look andrea this is the uh this is the other black woman who will get blamed for everything she is our ambassador to uh the united nations linda thomas greenfield what i've said to my colleagues here on on in the security council no ceasefire ever comes about because we call for a ceasefire. Ceasefires happen at the negotiating table. Anytime, anywhere in the world, ceasefires take place based on negotiations. And those negotiations are happening right now in Doha. They're still at the table.

Starting point is 01:44:02 They're still working hard. And we're the ones that are there on the ground really doing the hard work. Russia is not there. China is not there. They're not providing any options for finding a solution to get us there. They're not providing humanitarian assistance and we have people on the ground working every day to ensure that assistance get to the people in need this resolution was not ambiguous this resolution was clear it called for a ceasefire we want to see as part of that all hostages released we want to see humanitarian assistance be provided to the suffering Palestinian people. It was that simple. I love it. We provide the weapons and then we provide the assistance for the people target.

Starting point is 01:44:52 It's great. It's a perfect system. And oh, yes, again, we're paying for it. China and Russia, they weren't there in Doha. No, they were making other deals in the region. Yemen's Houthi rebels have told China and Russia that their ships can pass through the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea safely. The Houthis have been attacking vessels off the Yemeni coast since November. The US and the UK have launched airstrikes on Houthi targets in retaliation.

Starting point is 01:45:19 Several countries have deployed their naval forces to protect shipping in the trade route. Earlier this month, three crew members were killed when their ship was hit in a Houthi strike. Well, how about that? So if you're a Chinese ship or a Russian ship, no problem. Yeah, go right through. That is not from U.S. News, by the way. Of course. Of course.

Starting point is 01:45:42 I saw that story on U.S. News. Oh, you did? Yeah, it's been played. Back to MSNBC. Let's see. We're back to Israel. Let's find out a way to bring in Trump. But I wanted to say something else, especially about Jewish voters. What he said this week was not directed at them. Jewish voters represent a very small, very small percentage of the American electorate. They vote heavily in favor of Democrats, and they tend to live in heavy blue states. They are not going to swing the election for him. What he said today about this week about Jewish

Starting point is 01:46:19 voters was directed at his base, his evangelical Christian base, who he also needs to bring out to vote in November in order to win. And that base is both very, very pro-Israel for reasons related to the Christian religion and what they believe will be the second coming of Christ in Israel. But they're also real. Bullsh*t. Thanks for letting me know. We were just praying about that this morning. Let him come to Israel. Strands of anti-Semitism in that base.

Starting point is 01:46:51 And what he said this week basically said you can't be Jewish and you can't be pro-Israel if you don't vote for me. That's both anti-Semitic and it very much signals to his base that he is all in on Israel. And that's a win win for him. Oh, goodness gracious. Wow. What a roundabout way to win. Win. I like it to me.

Starting point is 01:47:16 I know. So then we go to probably the best. I mean, you know, Joe Scarborough from Morning Joe, man, when those guys get read in, when they're told, you know, like, OK, we're going to pivot. We're going to do this. We're going to change. We're moving away from that. They really go all in. And so to help out Biden, it's like Bibi Netanyahu is the worst thing ever. He's worse than a punami. Bibi Netanyahu is the worst thing ever he's worse than a punami bb netanyahu is the problem in the world right now there is just an extraordinary uh a change of attitudes among americans under 40 extraordinary. And it is anti-Israel. And no, it's not just younger Americans on college campuses. It's just about, it is a lot of Americans under 40. And my children have been very, very concerned

Starting point is 01:48:19 for their Jewish friends. They've been very, very concerned at how intense it has become. So I'm concerned about that. I'm also very concerned about civilians in Gaza. This idea that you want the United States and the world community to do something to stop an oncoming famine somehow makes you hate Israel? There are two words I'd like to say that I can't say on the air. Nobody has been more. And we had Jonathan Greenblatt come up.

Starting point is 01:49:01 He'll tell you. And Jonathan may disagree with me on this issue. We'll see. But one thing you won't disagree with me on is that. Yes. I've been fighting against anti-Semitism my entire adult life. Since World War II. And my entire career in Congress and on television.

Starting point is 01:49:22 What crap. I've been really outspoken about it. And I'm, at least I'm really concerned. How come we don't know this? Well, wait, wait, wait. He's now- He's now outspoken. Now, see, now, now they plug him in, turn up his spin cycle to 20.

Starting point is 01:49:36 I'm concerned about this. I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu. I'm concerned about the fact that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018. He refused to cut it off. I'm concerned about the fact that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018. He refused to cut it off. I'm concerned that he sent his government to Doha three weeks before the attacks and said, give Hamas more money. I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas up. I'm continuing.

Starting point is 01:49:58 I'm talking. Talking points are great. The Benjamin Netanyahu's government had Hamas's terrorist plans a year before the terrorist attack. This is like Bibi Netanyahu is the worst thing. And they did nothing. I'm concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu, after the attacks, did nothing for six, seven, eight, ten hours. A hundred hours. I've never seen anything like it.

Starting point is 01:50:33 It shattered my belief and everything I ever thought about about Israel's ability to defend itself. And by the way, it's not that we've been wrong all these years. It's that Benjamin Netanyahu was in charge and he led Israel to that point. was in charge, and he led Israel to that point. And I'm very concerned that what he continues to do, whatever he can do to stay in power, because the second he's out of power, he's got three indictments. He might go to jail. Trotterham had a good point.

Starting point is 01:51:01 What he really wants to say, Bibi Netanyahu is Trump in a yarmulke. So it's a very simple equation. As long as the war continues, Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't have to worry about going to jail. The second the war ends, Benjamin Netanyahu has to worry about going to jail. Are we really going to tie Israel's future to this man and say if those of us who love Israel, those of us who were taught in Sunday school when we were five years old, that Jews are God's chosen people and Israel is where they need to be to be protected because six million were slaughtered in the Holocaust. because six million were slaughtered in the holocaust holocaust are we not allowed to question benjamin netanyahu's motives because if not that's pretty sick and it's not in israel's best interest oh joe what kid went to sunday school at the age of five? He did. Apparently there's a 30 second final clip here. But it is so it is so offensive, offensive for Donald Trump to say, oh, here we go.

Starting point is 01:52:15 You can't be a good Jew. I vote for Democrats. Oh, my God. It's offensive. It's not like saying if you don't vote for me, you're not black. People to say you can't be a Zionist and a supporter of Israel and a supporter of Jews and a fighter and defender of Jews and their right to exist where they want to exist. Guy sounds like a Jew. Unless you support Benjamin Netanyahu.

Starting point is 01:52:42 He does. Guy's full of crap. I got two clips about this. Oh, my goodness. Not about that idiot. It's tiring. It's so tiring. Let's go to France 24 and go to aid to Gaza, where we have our UN guy in Egypt giving a big speech.

Starting point is 01:53:00 Time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. Time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. UN Chief Antonio Guterres appeals for a ceasefire, calling the starvation inside the enclave a moral outrage. Guterres spoke from the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing with Gaza. He made his way to the crossing a day after the UN Security Council failed to reach a consensus. Thousands of aid trucks are waiting in Egypt's north Sinai province to cross over to those living in desperately poor conditions. Nicholas Rushworth tells us more. The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, on a visit to the Egyptian side of the Rafah crossing,

Starting point is 01:53:36 said it was time to truly flood Gaza with life-saving aid. He renewed a call for an immediate ceasefire and said he wanted an ironclad commitment by Israel for total access for humanitarian goods to Gaza. A long line of blocked red relief trucks on one side of the gates, the long shadow of starvation on the other. That is more than tragic, it is a moral outrage. The UN's World Food Programme says Gazans are already starving to death with famine projected by May in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. There are a number of obstacles that the Israeli authorities have maintained that make it very difficult to reach the level of delivery that is necessary.

Starting point is 01:54:26 The problem is not how many trucks enter. The problem is how can we distribute? Distribute. Get your boot out of my box. There's a thing that keeps cropping up in all these international reports, which is

Starting point is 01:54:41 they're starving to death as we speak. Yes. But a famine will begin in May. Oh, is that when it's scheduled? Well, this is what it must be because there's like, they're starving to death right now. Yes.

Starting point is 01:54:56 But a famine is expected to begin in May. What is, there's a timetable for this sort of thing. And what is, what's going on now? that's not a famine? It's on the media calendar. Let's see. What do we have in May, guys?

Starting point is 01:55:12 For May, we've got famine. Famine scheduled. Okay. All right. That's good. We got famine for May. And then the other thing, of course, to continue with the anti-Netanyahu op, we have the Tel Aviv protests, which I have a clip of. Get them out of hell. Banners and Israeli flags poured out on the streets of Tel Aviv as thousands of people gathered this Saturday, demanding an immediate deal to release some 130 Israeli hostages in Gazaaza as well as new elections in the country demonstrators are

Starting point is 01:55:48 criticizing the way prime minister medemi netanyahu is handling the war against hamas and demands the government to take responsibility netanyahu has vowed to go ahead with the planned offensive in rafa dubbed a mistake by the u.s secretary Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken. Oh, they're all just playing a big, big theater. It's all set. No one, please. No one buys this anymore. You know, they've blanketed us with so much punami that we don't even know what to care about.

Starting point is 01:56:23 Yeah, I know, I know, I know. There's a show title. I have a, sure, Poonami, and then let's put some cheesecake on the art. That's great. I have a supercut from Mayor Adams of New York. I'm sure I would love to hear it. Everyone knows that New York City is the Athens of America, is the Istanbul of America, is the keys of America, the soul of America. We are the Tel Aviv of America. New York City

Starting point is 01:56:52 is the Islamabad of America, the Zabgrab of America. We are the Lima of America. New York City is Mexico City of America. This is the Dublin of America, New York City. Somebody really put a lot of work into that one. Well, he needs a new speechwriter. Well, that's probably true. So United Airlines is under attack, and rightfully so. Airlines is under attack, and rightfully so. I don't know if you received this, but I must have received five copies of this from something called the United Council, the members of Council 150.

Starting point is 01:57:38 And it's a very long note. I put it in the show notes. I'm not going to read the whole thing. But I'm going to just start off here. We, your elected ALPA, that's Airline Pilots Association, representatives feel it's our unfortunate responsibility. It looks like a chat GPT job, actually. To draw attention to several very concerning items, these issues have thus far been inadequately addressed.

Starting point is 01:57:58 They pertain to the very core nature of our chosen profession. This is definitely chat GPT. Simply put, our safety culture is under attack and enough is enough. We cannot in good conscience continue to wait for our flight operations management team to choose safety over anything else. While their words make for great PR, their actions have not matched those words and have directly led to the unfortunate circ*mstance in which we presently find ourselves. The United Next growth plan has seen a staggering 30% growth in just a few short years. However, that growth has come with strings

Starting point is 01:58:30 attached. It has come hand in hand with an orchestrated erosion of our safety culture and our profession's input into it. The FAA has similarly witnessed this and recently stepped in to take substantial action against United Airlines. Cue clip. Increasing oversight of United Airlines. The decision follows a series of incidents, including a plane losing an external panel and another plane losing a tire during takeoff. United says the FAA will review work processes, manuals, and facilities. The agency will then determine if any changes are needed. The FAA says it is routine for its safety assurance system to monitor an airline's operations. We have lost the ability to approve new line check pilots, issue type ratings,

Starting point is 01:59:19 and have regulator-imposed restrictions on our ability to operate and grow our airline. This is actually quite bad. Well, you can't do your own uh check rides this is a this is very bad so uh i think the dude in address might want to reconsider his strategy well actually a day ago the united airlines was halted by the faa saying no new planes for you yeah Yeah. No soup for you. That's right. Where does this leave us? Well, for starters, it leaves us as pilots under more scrutiny than ever before. We all need to reinvest in our safety culture and do so with vigor. Encourage each other on the flight decks to stop when rushed.

Starting point is 02:00:01 Do your best to limit distractions, whatever it takes. How about this? How about not flying on United anymore? This doesn't sound like a good product or service, I should say. I'd like to know where the board of directors is of the United Airlines to get rid of the CEO. It's obviously the CEO's problem. I agree. He's the one who sets the stage for all this stuff. That's what you do when you're CEO. You don't sit there. I mean, maybe he's spending too much time in the makeup room, but're ceo you don't sit there's it's not i mean maybe you spend too much time with in the makeup room but i mean you don't have to spend all your time concerned about your the next dress you wear no no it's uh it's troubling to say the least troubling troubling uh all right yes i was gonna say that i got a couple clips on squatters which i think is

Starting point is 02:00:47 disturbing but this is an op of some sort because squatting has been going on forever as we pointed out in the last show well this is part of the be afraid of this is part of the political side of immigration it's like be afraid be afraid be afraid be afraid trump has the solution but this was this was targeting american homeless more than the immigrants oh okay this is squatters clip one on nbc they're the house guests no one invited squatters making themselves right at home. Out of my house. It's not your house. They're people who take over mostly vacant properties that aren't theirs.

Starting point is 02:01:31 One New York case even turning deadly. Police now believe the 52-year-old Vitell was killed by squatters. It's terrifying. Patty Peoples says she discovered two women and kids in a Florida property she was preparing to sell and filmed her intense confrontations with them. I had squatters. I did $40,000 worth of damage, stole appliances. At one point, even threatening her with a tire iron. So you must want me to take this and break your phone. She says it took more than a month to get them out. How did you feel? It is quite frankly, one of the most frustrating,

Starting point is 02:02:06 unfair experiences and frightening experiences of my life. The burden of proof was on me, not the renters. It's unfair. Oh my God. Unfair because squatters take advantage of laws meant to protect renters, often leaving homeowners helpless. You shouldn't be trying to steal my house. This video captured by New York's Eyewitness News has gone viral. A homeowner trying to force squatters out is then handcuffed by police and removed from her own home. No charges were filed. Now, the problem I have with this story is that she says the renters. Why didn't she say squatters?

Starting point is 02:02:42 Were these renters who stopped paying rent and then became squatters? is unclear i know i said i noticed the same thing i didn't like it no uh but these laws are to prevent renters from being uh unnecessarily evicted usually when a property is changing hands or something they'll is this come in and say get out is this also a little bit of a holdover from the uh from the covid era yeah maybe yeah although i think that should be over by now let's play the second half new york attorney and margaret caroza says squatting cases are on the rise due to more vacant properties and the high cost of housing how are they getting away with this if they pull out a fake lease or they pull out a fake deed, now it's a he said, she said. Don't empower them. Flash Shelton, who advises homeowners

Starting point is 02:03:31 on how to push out squatters, says to protect your home, set up security cameras. Your best protection is basically being able to document when someone comes in. And call police as soon as you find someone. Please support this bill. Back in Florida, Patty is paving the way for change, advocating for new laws to fight squatting. What do you want to say to the squatters around the country? The gig is up. My hope is that within another year, squatting will be a pandemic that is on the decline. How dare you walk into that man? I own this house. Hoping her story empowers others to squash out the squatters. Valerie Castro, NBC News.

Starting point is 02:04:15 It's also violent. It was a very violent report, not to mention it. It's very violent. I don't like it. It's disturbing. Oh, I'm sorry. It's disturbing me. But it's a state-by-state thing, isn't it? I think so. Yeah.

Starting point is 02:04:34 But it's an epidemic in New York, it seems. And I guess Florida's always had this issue. Wild. Hey, we missed it. We missed it. We missed it. We missed it. Earth Hour?

Starting point is 02:04:47 Yes, we missed it again. Every year we miss Earth Hour. I always want to participate and turn off my studio for an hour to help save the Earth. I have a clip. And finally, going dark to raise awareness of conservation and climate change issues, millions of people around the world have marked Earth Hour 2024 the world's largest grassroots movement for the environment. From 8.30pm to 9.30pm local time, lights were and will be turned off around the globe. Nick Rushworth tells us more. The Eiffel Tower in Paris dimmed for Earth Hour. Various landmarks worldwide also went lights out, including in Bangkok and in Kolkata, as a symbolic commitment to tackling climate change.

Starting point is 02:05:37 During Earth Hour, individuals and businesses are encouraged to turn off non-essential lights for one hour from 8.30pm to 9.30pm local time. Climate activists gathered in Nicosia in Cyprus to express their concern about the climate emergency. For the last 12 years, we've turned off the lights on the last Saturday in March to send a message that in one symbolic hour we can make a real difference to the environment and society for the benefit of people.

Starting point is 02:06:10 Our message is that we need to take climate measures to reduce pollution to achieve the goals that Cyprus and the EU have set for the fight against climate change. The World Wildlife Fund says giving one hour for the Earth can help bring our world back to life. That's funny. Bring it back to life. The world is dead.

Starting point is 02:06:33 I got that clip before Earth Hour. And I went outside to see what would happen at 830 in the San Francisco Bay Area. Yeah, the Libtard area of California. Nothing. No, of course not. Who remembers the last Saturday in March? What's his second clip? I have a five-second clip that says suggestions,

Starting point is 02:06:57 and I don't remember what this is. It says that that hour can be spent on a range of activities, from giving a donation to giving a donation. Giving a donation. It suggests giving a donation to giving a donation. Giving a donation. It suggests giving a donation to the No Agenda show. Well, before we go to that, I'm glad you brought the Earth Hour clip, because there is a very good documentary on YouTube, which it makes it even better because it's just out there. It's called Climate the movie it's about oh yeah it's about an hour and 15 minutes long i watched the whole thing there is for the for the

Starting point is 02:07:31 long time no agenda uh producers nothing new uh some familiar familiar faces like the uh one you the co-founder of greenpeace and but but what is good is it lays out in some good detail, but very accessible to all. And they have like Harvard guys, Nobel Prize winners, all these people going, this is a hoax. It's not true. They're jacking the charts. They're jacking the temperature. They're lying. Look at the geological studies.

Starting point is 02:08:07 We're actually in an ice age. And it is, by around 2030, it's going to start getting cooler, which, of course, shows you why they're so crazy about getting it done now. And all of these intellectual scientists all laugh about the idea that we're going to die because it's two degrees warmer, whereas the temperature varies five up or five down. The median is around one in variance. But what they do hammer home is that this is, it's about control. And I'm just going to have to keep hammering on this because it's not just about, what I like what they all say universally as well,

Starting point is 02:08:53 if it's a global problem, you need a global government to take care of it. And we haven't quite gotten there, but we're getting very close. And there's so much money involved that there's not going to stop and it is all about control such as biden's epa well it's our epa has just rolled out usa auto mandates forcing evs to be two-thirds of all passenger vehicles two-thirds two- thirds it'll be made by uh china byd and neo nio out of mexico

Starting point is 02:09:30 and they'll flood our country with them they'll take out all of our ev oh yeah and and guess who's the biggest investor in this scam black rock yep or blackstone no it's Black Rock is what I have. Someone's bumping something on your side. No, I'm playing with it right now, trying to get it to duplicate, and it actually did. You succeeded. And then here's an example of how this is going. And Sir Gene sent this to me. Tesla revises late-night driving and its effect on safety score and i'm like well that's interesting so yeah so tesla tracking your driving pay attention tesla drivers track your driving

Starting point is 02:10:20 and they give you a safety score based upon a whole bunch of factors like, did you have short stops, like a slam on the brakes. Now they've adjusted it. They've updated their late night driving to be risk weighted based on driving from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. Previously, it was 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. The impact of late-night driving on your safety score will depend on the proportion of time spent driving in each hour between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Tesla uses eight different factors to determine a safety score. non-autopilot miles, hard braking, aggressive turning, unsafe following, excessive speed, late night driving, forced autopilot disengagement, and unbuckled driving. And so I said, wow, that's really quite creepy. I guess they're going to be selling this to the insurance companies who already don't want to insure EVs because, you know, they tend to burn down houses.

Starting point is 02:11:26 And Gene informs me, oh, no, they're going to launch their own insurance. This is your future. We need to stop this insanity. I like aggressive turning. I'm with you on that. It's fun. great donuts baby donuts but this is all of this this is just friendly little elon just elon he's a good guy no he's not a good guy he is a a shill for this kind of stuff. It's not good. We cannot let government entities track all of our so-called climate-based activities. In this case, it's still a climate-based car based on some phony baloney calculation,

Starting point is 02:12:22 which we've been through. I don't remember exactly. You had that, I i think at one point um how they calculate the actual uh pollution made by these evs what was that again it was like some something that they they snuck it was based on how much waste of energy and and resources to make the batteries and the car and the whole thing. It's complicated. Right. But it's complicated for a reason because none of it's true.

Starting point is 02:12:54 None of it's true. No, the fact that it costs a lot of money to make an EV is not untrue. Anyway, I had a rancher out here yesterday from Colorado, Colorado Craft Beef, and it's unbelievable what's happening. We're losing our food supply. We really are. You've got to start taking a look at where you're going to get your food from because it's not going to be from it's not going to be beef in the future one of our producers who's also a beef guy uh went up to the panhandle he said he had some land up there he says that big fire that took place in texas wiped out a bunch of beef producers he says those people are not coming

Starting point is 02:13:37 back that was me on the last show i told you texas slim texas slim that. I had the note too. No, Texas Slim told me on the phone. I didn't have a note. No, I read a note from some guy. Yeah, that wouldn't surprise me. No, because they can't finance their herd anymore. Yeah, the banks are of no help. No, I mean, interest rates are of no help.

Starting point is 02:14:03 So we have to keep hammering, because it's just become a joke, a punchline. Oh, yeah, whatever. Oh, yeah, it's just climate change. No one believes in it. But they're not stopping. They're not stopping. They're going to go until they have total control of us. That's what all those UULA zones were in the UK. And God bless the Brits, you know, the Londoners. No, we're taking that down. We're ripping that stuff down. We're not going to let you force us into some kind of phony baloney climate change zone where we can't drive or can only drive three miles an hour. It's total control and yet we have to resist. You must resist! Me much?

Starting point is 02:14:45 Good luck. We much? No, you say that. I still have some fight left in me. I still have some fight left in me. Wow, this is something that just came across the wire. The Vape Wars. Wars on the vape. Vaping the cigarette. Pew, pew, pew.

Starting point is 02:15:08 The Vape Wars. Science Direct comes out with an interesting article. So what is vaping? Vaping is, in essence, a nicotine delivery system. With a fun little taste. And we were told, no oh no these kids are getting hooked on nicotine it's no good the flavors they're being marketed to five-year-olds five-year-old kids want to have strawberry they're gonna vape vape vape well i didn't know this nicotine inhibits the amygdala the vta to what is vta what is vta ventral tegmental area to the amygdala dopamine pathway to promote anxiety so when you vape, you have less anxiety.

Starting point is 02:16:06 Well, that's why people smoke. Right. Well, we already got rid of that, but they wanted the kids to stop vaping. Because it was a cheap nicotine delivery system. And they're not getting all jacked. We need them spun up and spun out and angry and hooked to voting Democrat. Exactly. With that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the fresh corpus. Say hello to my friend on the other and the one and

Starting point is 02:16:36 only Mr. John C. In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Stick your hands up there, trolls. Let me count you. There we go.

Starting point is 02:16:54 What are we doing? What are we doing? What are we doing? I have good news. Trolls are up. We're up 40 trolls. We had, no, we're up more. We had 1994 on the last Sunday show.

Starting point is 02:17:12 Today, 2064. So we are actually up 70 trolls. That's pretty good. That's not bad. I like that number. 70 extra trolls. Hello, trolls. They are checking us out at trollroom.io,

Starting point is 02:17:25 where you can listen to this podcast live on Thursdays and Sundays. The good part is about to come, because we got extra clips and extra fun stuff during these donation segments, including, may I say, a big congratulations to Speed Racer, Ashlyn Speed, running with the no agenda colors on her number 32 F1600 race race monster she won this weekend uh she's amazing uh yes she actually during qualifying she broke the track record by half a second in qualifying, which unfortunately doesn't count as official. In the race, she was only off of the track record by 0.3 seconds, and that's because the clouds had rolled in, which...

Starting point is 02:18:15 Does that slow down your car? Clouds? Well, yeah, because it's solar-powered. Well, yeah, because it's solar powered. I'm sure it has something to do with the temperature of the track or the tires. I think. I don't know. We got a report from her dad, Greg. Good to see no agenda people out there. We're yelling in the morning.

Starting point is 02:18:42 She was on the track, which is fantastic. Love that. The No Agenda logo proudly displayed on the car there, which I just love that. I just love that we have a winning race mobile. Race mobile. It's a race. It's a race mobile.

Starting point is 02:19:00 Race mobile. It's a race mobile. And it goes around and around. She is going F11 f1 for sure i mean and she's perfect for i love the cowboy hat the whole vibe she's got speed racer ashlyn speed no agenda and we've been with her from day one ever since the carts this is true. Yeah. It's true. Yeah. And we're happy that the car owner let us put our logo, keep the logo on there because we're not paying. But if you'd like your logo on it, there's an opportunity, I'm sure.

Starting point is 02:19:35 So that's just one way that you can show some love to the No Agenda show, value for value. I do want to mention that the, you can join the trolls at troll room.io listen live. There are many ways to get alerted. We always send out a bat signal on, on, on Twitter and on the mastodon,

Starting point is 02:19:59 the Fediverse through activity pub. You can hear about us there, but if you get a modern podcast app i'm just saying this might be a great way to keep podcasting free and open because uh you know they're coming they're coming for you they're coming for everybody they are coming for everybody but this is still within the independent open source uh podcast realm and And you can listen to the live stream in these modern podcast apps, which you can find at podcasting2.org or podcastapps.com, if that's easier for you to remember. And today I want to promote Podcast Addict, which has been around for a long time.

Starting point is 02:20:39 Podcast Addict was already an established app and they decided, you know what? We're not going to suck off that Apple database. We're coming to the free and open, guys, at Podcasting 2.0. And when we publish a show, any show that's published on – any show that's worth its weight in gold, of course, which is hundreds of thousands of shows, that updates within 90 seconds on your app. No longer do you have to wait for 45 minutes, an hour, even 15 minutes is annoying.

Starting point is 02:21:10 So go to podcasting2.org to find out more. So back to Value for Value, which, you know, it's a donation drive now for NPR. Man, those guys are annoying how they do it you know they tell me more well that this is like you know they they they sound so smug but first of all they have ads they have ads they run ads and then they tell you well you've got to support us but you're running ads i don't get it you're running at well but you know you're really the primary source of the

Starting point is 02:21:50 funding well how about what the ad market is unlikely i don't believe it for a second they just want you to give them 50 bucks to get a dumb tote bag or a mug no no and then how good is it you know people don't and they want you to subscribe we want a subscription this is this is the biggest mistake that they've made and the streaming guys they're they're falling apart right now in fact you know actually had a the wall street journal did uh did a whole bid on this um and you know so we we consider this to be value for value actually we pioneered it the whole idea is we give you all the value we've got everything we have we're you know we're not holding back there's no special little bonus content or premium premium content that you can

Starting point is 02:22:36 get somewhere else no we're getting the whole show you don't have to send us anything oh by the way they're not and most people don't. No, that's right. That's what's so great about it. But if you listen to, you know, people who want you to subscribe to something or, you know, like the streamer, this is falling apart, this whole model, because people can't afford it anymore. It's like you can't afford to subscribe to your five or ten favorite podcasts. You can't afford to subscribe to your five or 10 favorite podcasts. What's it going to be? 50 bucks a month, $200 a month for your premium content.

Starting point is 02:23:10 No, we want, we want you to send value when you feel it's appropriate and when you can afford it, you know, and then, and then please send what you think is the right value, which we also, we can't determine that.

Starting point is 02:23:22 That's not on us. We don't know how much, what, what's valuable to you, but listen to determine that. That's not on us. We don't know how much, what's valuable to you. But listen to this. To the individual, yes. Yeah, listen to this Wall Street, about the streaming wars. First, I want to talk about a relatively new trend you reported on, and that is consumers canceling their streaming subscriptions.

Starting point is 02:23:38 Does that have to do with the price hikes we've seen introduced by a number of streaming services? So you see customers starting to get to a point where their streaming budget, where they're realizing that it's approaching what cable used to be, or just starting to feel really expensive and needy. And so they're saying, what do I actually need? What am I actually spending my time on? And because those streamers have raised prices, they have kept the simplicity of being able to easily turn them on and off.

Starting point is 02:24:04 A lot more consumers have gotten savvier about saying, you know what, I'm going to binge this on Hulu and then I'm going to turn it off or I'm going to binge this next season on Netflix and then I won't need it again for two months until this next show comes out. So I think a much savvier consumer has emerged. And also with inflation and just the rising cost of living, households are saying, how much am I actually spending on entertainment and am I getting full value out of it? Oh, full value. There you go. See, people are getting smart.

Starting point is 02:24:32 They want value. So if you get any value from our podcast and maybe you need five shows, maybe you need a month's worth of shows. Oh, you know what? That was valuable to me. Then you send something back. You can always give us value

Starting point is 02:24:46 by promoting the show, by hitting people in the mouth, by organizing meetups. There's many ways you can contribute all the time to the entire... Remember, you're not listeners. You're not an audience who were saying, hey, you subscribe to our app. No, you're producers. You're part of the product. That's the postmodern avenue that we took. And it's been working okay for 16 years. But yes, it's about 2% to 3% who actually support us financially. So consider that. No tote bag, no mug, nothing.

Starting point is 02:25:19 You know, you don't have to binge anything. Just listen to our show. If it's valuable to you, send it back to us. Now, before we thank our treasure donors we have time and talent in the form of the artists now we believe that this is a very valuable addition to the show and we've been doing it almost as long as we've had this show and be only in the last year or two uh have a couple other podcasts started doing it. Why? Because they don't have these producers that we do. There's no way because they haven't set it up. They're just like, you're a stupid listener.

Starting point is 02:25:54 Listen to my ads. I'm going to interrupt the show. Listen to my ads. Listen to my ads. Yeah. Click on the link. Smash the subscribe button. Oh, no, no, no, no.

Starting point is 02:26:05 So we want to thank the artist who we chose art from on the previous episode. That was episode 1644. And that was... Link. We titled that one Shock Opera. Shock Opera. And again, it was the art that made us laugh right off the bat tonta neal comes flying back in with a total winner a red hat which we would say would be like a mega hat with bloodbath 24 logo on it

Starting point is 02:26:38 it was just there was nothing that that even came close i don't think. It was so good. Well, we did like the canned lobster, the canned cicada in a can, by a correct record. That was pretty funny. And we went back and forth, and we said, well, we both laughed the minute we saw that hat. And that's always kind of a, that's usually the one we just go for. Now, there was a lot of bloodbath-type stuff. Also, I like that Tantanil did some other ones.

Starting point is 02:27:07 She did the lobster from the tree with the cicada. Yes, correct a record, cicada, the lobster of the tree with the can was very good. Did you use it for the newsletter? You said you were going to use it for the newsletter. No, I think I used some. You didn't? It was a cheesecake. I can't remember.

Starting point is 02:27:25 Don't be sad at all. Another correct direct, correct director's coming in again with some stuff. It's about time. And also remember that, uh, most of these images are used by, uh, the clip custodian, I'm sorry, by Dreb Scott, who, um, who does our chapters. I said this because clip custodian is doing art now as well. Um, Dreb Scott puts together, uh, chapters that when you use one of those modern podcast apps, you'll see the artwork change when we change a topic.

Starting point is 02:27:53 And usually it's art that goes with the topic. It's worth it because that way, it's funny. It's an addition to the show. Or you can go to noagendaartgenerator.com. You can refresh live during the show, see what the artists are uploading as we're speaking because we choose the art right after the show. But you can always submit something yourself if you want to be a part of the time and the talent.

Starting point is 02:28:15 We love it. I'm going to provide another reminder to the artists that if their art is any way gruesome, and I would consider a cicada, a gruesome thing to put as the artwork and it's kind of repulsive, it won't get picked. Why is a cicada gruesome? Well, look at the tree lobsters, the one from Scaramanga, with a bunch of gruesome bugs coming out of what looks like a french fry bag.

Starting point is 02:28:46 No, it's not happening. Wow. Well, gee. You know about this rule. Yeah, but now we're into taste. I mean, I think the tree lobsters is not that gruesome. Yeah. I think the bloodbath with the

Starting point is 02:29:04 trump in it, that's kind of gruesome. Yeah, well think the, the bloodbath with the Trump in it, that's kind of gruesome. Yeah. Well, that's didn't get picked either. Did it? No, it wasn't even discussed. Uh,

Starting point is 02:29:12 thank you again, tons of Neil. We really appreciate everything you, now we go over to the, uh, treasure portion of the value for you're still banging like mad. I don't know what it is. It's,

Starting point is 02:29:23 it's, I, I'm, I'm, I'm, here's the problem. It is the... Two hours and 30 minutes and he's found the problem.

Starting point is 02:29:31 No, I know what the problem is. I know what the problem is for the last couple of weeks. I just, at the end of the show, I know how to fix it. But then after the show's over, I turn off the machine and I go away and I forget all about it until the next show. Oh. So I have to... It's like Earth Hour. You forget about Earth Hour

Starting point is 02:29:48 every year. Earth Hour? Well, you're no better. Alright, everybody. What do you mean I'm no better? You haven't done anything about Earth Hour. No, but I'm not banging my mic. I don't know that. Everybody email john at devorah.org tonight.

Starting point is 02:30:07 You know the kind of email I get about the banging the mic? No, let me guess. Let me guess. Adam needs to shut up about banging the mic. No, keep banging the mic because it pisses off Adam. Very similar, but no. I'm in charge of audio on this in this partnership here so when it sounds like crap you know here you know when something let's say the website goes down we've had some

I'd originally said no cuts in 2024, but now beginning to think one or two could be in store post-election.

Starting point is 03:03:36 daisy the dog and i don't know you'd have to i'd like to put it maybe i'll get a picture of this situation. I don't want to say dumb dog, but this dog stuck her head in a truck tire wheel that had the center missing and got stuck in it. And they couldn't get her out. And here's what happened. A dog in Franklin Township got herself into a bit of a pickle yesterday. A sweet little pup named Daisy found herself stuck inside of a tire rim at her owner's home. First responders were called in and quickly got to work. New Jersey correspondent Trish Hartman is live in Franklin Township. Well, Maggie, you probably heard about firefighters rescuing a cat stuck in a tree,

Starting point is 03:04:18 but probably not a dog stuck in a wheel. This poor dog got her head stuck in a tire rim yesterday while she was playing. The owners, the Delano family, did the only thing that they could think of and called the fire department. Daisy, the 11-month-old yellow lab, gets in some trouble from time to time. Yesterday, the pup was at home in Franklinville when she got her head wedged into the rim of a tire. Eventually, they called the fire department. The Franklinville Volunteer Fire Company responded. We tried using some thawing dust detergent. We tried some vegetable oil. We tried even slipping some plastic around her neck. At that time, Daisy was kind of gasping for air. Her

Starting point is 03:04:55 eyes were red. We knew we kind of had to move fast. Knowing time was short, Lieutenant Brandon Volpe thought his plasma cutter, a torch that's used to cut steel, might do the trick. I was like, this would be the perfect tool. I use it every day do the trick. I was like, this would be the perfect tool. I use it every day in my shop. I'm like, this would be perfect. In a few minutes, Daisy was free. The Delano's say now that it's over, they're laughing. Glad that Daisy is okay.

Starting point is 03:05:18 Even afterwards, I was like, you guys ever done anything like this? And they were like, nope. Poor dog. And Daisy was so nice. We got to meet her today. Now, Daisy is doing just fine besides a few scratches on her neck. Her owner says he'll be making sure that the yard

Starting point is 03:05:32 is more dog-proofed so she doesn't get her head stuck anywhere else. Reporting live in Franklin Township, New Jersey, Trish Hartman, Channel 6, Action News. Maggie, Rick? Yeah, well, she's probably a bit tired now. Oh! Good news with a pun! Doesn't get any better than that.

Starting point is 03:08:11 I hate to say it, but I told you so, but they want to get rid of regular gay and lesbian stuff. Some are even calling this spring and summer the Cicada Apocalypse. They're talking about girls. When they come out, they have to be quick yay what are hot girl pills there's also silly girl pills there's prozac pillows there's antidepressant trying casey so you're no longer gay or lesbian you are same gender loving these are the new terms to erase gay people won't have everyone be trans now because you are no longer gay you are also it's about to get real wet apparently because

Starting point is 03:08:52 urination velocity that's more than elephants and horses so and you've got like kids putting their mental health medication and diagnosis in their Twitter bios. Because it validates men who identify as women who claim that they're lesbians. How far can they actually take this? I think the Windy City is about to get real fun this summer.

Starting point is 03:09:27 But now we have this fix. Ozempic, Wagovi, the drug companies that are just flooding America. Any drug you want in the mail. Did you see the special? I peeled back some layers on Oprah. One point of this special is to hammer into your brain. It's a disease. It's not you.

Starting point is 03:09:44 Dr. W. Scott Butch has been studying the disease of obesity. The point of this special is to hammer into your brain it's a disease, it's not you. Dr. W. Scott Butch has been studying the disease of obesity. Please note, it's a disease. They're making this stuff up. The lying and the shoving it down your throat with Oprah right at the helm. It's a spectrum. Where else have we heard this? Whereby everybody can be on the spectrum. These are the tricks they employ. It's pathetic.

Starting point is 03:10:08 By the way, you're going to be on it for life. And do you have to be on it for the rest of your life? Yeah, the data would support that. When these patients stop the medication, the disease comes back. You're now a drug pusher. Both of you are consultants. They are paid consultants for the

Starting point is 03:10:24 pharmaceutical companies that they're talking about. It's called marketing. You're now a drug pusher. That's our new philosophy is to help people live longer, happier lives. Monjaro and Deathbound. I'm concerned about Benjamin Netanyahu. The fact that he knew where Hamas was getting its money in 2018. He refused to cut it off. I'm concerned that he continued to where Hamas was getting its money in 2018, he refused to cut it off.

Starting point is 03:10:45 I'm concerned that he continued to prop Hamas up. I'm concerned that Benjamin Netanyahu had Hamas' terrorist plans a year before the terrorist attacks and they did nothing. After the attacks, did nothing for six, seven, eight, ten hours. They were ill-prepared. I've never seen anything like it. Are we really going to tie Israel's future up to this, man? And say if those of us who love Israel, those of us who were taught in Sunday school when we were five years old, that Jews are God's chosen people, because six million were slaughtered in the Holocaust.

Starting point is 03:11:38 Are we not allowed to question Benjamin Netanyahu's motives? Because if not, that's pretty sick. And it's not in Israel's best interest. The best podcast in the universe. Mopo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Fantastic.
