Whoo I want to wear a mask. Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
Thursday, April 21 2022. This is your award winning keep our
nation media assassination episode 1444. This is no agenda,
spotting smoke standby caliber and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry.
And if another Silicon Valley where I'm back from a yak fest,
literally I'm John Cena. Devorah Buzzkill.
Man you leave me with yak yak. Come back to me with Yak.
yackety Yak.
Don't talk back. How
was it? How was your Yak?
I was actually stunned.
What does it taste like? Does it taste like antelope? Does it
take what is the taste like giraffe? I mean, what does it
taste like?
It? I'd say it's somewhere between first of all let's just
it said What is it tastes? It tastes like Yak is what it
tastes okay. Is the it's the most unbelievable. Hamburger I
think I've ever made. And it was no seasoning whatsoever. It says
some salt. It's light. It has it has a broad spectrum flavor. But
it's it's extremely tender. It's extremely light. It has the same
kind of fat that wagyu has. So it's a healthy meat. except for
instead of wagyu. It's extremely lean is like 90% Lean. But for
Lean lean meat. It's extremely tender. It's hard to explain,
but it's done everybody.
Good. And did you Did everyone still put ketchup and mayonnaise
and mustard and relish on it or it
was a resistance on. This was a hamburger bun, which has sauce
and tomatoes and stuff. But it's beside the point you could tell
the Yak was it was an exceptional product. Now, since
it was all jacked up about it, JC of course started immediately
doing research and discovered some of the issues with the Yak.
It tastes like takes like three times longer to get the Yak to
maturity to eat it. So that's expensive. It can't eat. It
can't eat it. A feedlot refuses to do so. So it's only going to
eat out in the in the wild right in the wild in the wild. Yeah,
it's a Grazer and it's it's not like you know cows or grazers do
but they'll either feed a lot you know anything if you want to
feed them cookies. Oh yeah, good. They had only has two or
three stomachs, two stomachs maybe it doesn't have four. But
I'm telling you,
right. You are telling us that sounds like it's dynamite as a
stunner sounds like it's a good product All right. Well, we
should sell those no agenda yak wares, you know agenda yak.com
People come on. Let's get this going.
Out. As I mentioned this, my yak supplier currently. If you can
write this down at Dell, the x d e l yaks, which is desert and
limited. And he's in Montrose car Colorado, and I think you
can find him at just desert and at DME a.net.
Yes, and chicks dig this when you present them with Yak.
Alright. Hey, we really stepped in it on the last show, but we
do well, we had this whole conversation about online
harassment of women Little did I know what was what was where
this was coming from? I don't know if you seen the incredible
controversy with Taylor Lorenz of The Washington Post.
Oh, Taylor Lorenz. Yeah, I mean, that's the she is the target of
Putin with good reason. Just
this is this is where it all came from. This is why they're
doing these big pieces about harassing women online and we
were appropriately cavalier about this specific harassment
online, online. But what I noticed is I got a lot of
feedback from women saying, Well, you know, it really
triggered me this conversation because it seemed like you were
just brushing it aside and I've been harassed throughout my mic
my life and and it kind of crossed over you know, it's like
well, yes, it harassment in real life in the workplace, etc,
completely inappropriate. Those are douchebags, but when you're
online, I mean, how do we even know if the target is a woman to
be honest about it? But it's just
you don't know what's coming from really could be a kid a 12
year old and you're all bent out of shape?
It was. So somehow this week, I guess we missed it, but it was
brewing and then this Taylor Lorenz was Just get through this
quickly don't have to spend too much time on it. She is she's
worked at the New York Times then left the Washington Post.
What kind of superstar millennial is this?
If she's a millennial rousted from the time's
right, but why? Because she's so incredibly good.
No, she makes she's the one who's the account. She is really
a target of Matt Taibbi as to a an extremely
Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, the whole
suspects, they'll hate her. Because she lies and she makes
stuff up and she cries on camera. Oh, wait, about
harassed. Here's
the crying on camera. This is actually before she went out and
did the same thing to the LIBS if we didn't have to get into
that story. Everybody knows it. But I just love hearing this
clip this hypocrisy.
I've had to remove every single social tie I had severe PTSD
from this i I contemplated suicide got really bad. You feel
like any little piece of information that gets out on you
will be used by the worst people on the internet to destroy your
life. And it's so isolating and terrifying. It's horrifying.
It's overwhelming.
I was so good. There you go. You're mocking the poor crying
woman who I am. And I'm mocking her.
Because when I saw this, like, oh, this girl's not well, she
she needs some help. Because you know, if you're in the business
of journalism, and you are pitching your stories online,
and you're in many cases, Daxing outing people doing really kind
of horrible, terrible things down, then you're going to get
this backlash. It is just going to happen. And I think a lot of
a lot of journalists are irked by it. But this conversation
between Megan Kelly and Glenn Greenwald, just a short to a
short minute here. There's a little more going on with Taylor
Lorenz
to lay your hand I'm like, You're right. I feel zero
empathy for her zero. Because she's created this life for
herself. She's the worst about doing this to others. And then
when when called out on the consequences of her choice of
profession, she's made this her work. We call down the
consequences that she unleashes on others. She wants us to feel
sorry for her. Well, I don't. And it's it's a pattern. She
released a tweet. I know you retweeted this. And I think
we've got it talking about her many like psychological issues.
Do we have a Debbie? Here's what she tweeted, June of 2021. This
is definitely TMI. And we'll I will probably delete but I'm
honestly so proud. And I want to share it. Something people might
not know is I have very bad trichotillomania and Derma
tillow Mania, and this is the first time in my life that I
haven't had an open wound on my head. And the bottom line is
these things are hair is a hair pulling disorder, and a skin
picking disorder, which they describe from the Mayo Clinic as
a mental illness. These are mental illnesses related to
obsessive compulsive disorder.
So if you have an it's sure the serious if you're pulling your
hair out and picking your skin. Do you need help? And you
probably shouldn't be in the public eye where people can say
nasty things to you.
Really question is this you actually have I actually knew
somebody that had disorder. And they complained about it.
Because it's annoying for them.
Because I pull your hair out? Yeah, I can see why that would
be annoying.
Yeah, it was mostly the skin picking always get a little
itchy spot and they pick and pick and pick at it until you
get to yes or did you pick too much? There's a lot of other
things going on with her whether she has that or not. It's it's
she's a she's done a great job of promoting herself to a
position of, of a high paid working journalist. And she did
the grief that she creates. I don't know what you how she
keeps her jobs, to be honest about it, but she's very
talented at it. And I don't know what to make of her.
It's not that important. But But what I really despise because I
saw some of these emails she was sending to people, you know,
asking for comment. And this has happened. In fact, this happened
to me just just the other week where a reporter will email you
and say, on deadline, I have a deadline I need to know within
the next hour. I'm exaggerating, I'm exact No, I'm exactly. I'm
exaggerating. But there's some lawsuit taking place in the
Netherlands and someone a journalist asked me, Hey, are
you a part of this? Did you get screwed by these guys? And I
said I have no comment. I'm not interested in this topic. And
then they came back with Okay, well, you know, so will you
confirm or deny that you were you were screwed out of them for
100,000 Euro Honestly, I don't even know what they're talking
about. But you know, and you can't even reply to this, you
just have to leave it alone. But this whole I need to know I'm on
deadline on deadline within an hour. Otherwise, we're going to
go with what we have. This is the chicken shit I really hate
from from big press Washington Post in the New York Times does
that too.
Is that what you do? Is that a typical
journalists thing?
They I put go on the other side of the argument, please do. I'm
doing this piece. The editor wants it in by two. And I'm
calling around noon. So basically, I'm on deadline,
meaning I have a deadline that if I don't meet it, it says I
got to produce whatever I got. Or they don't even run it, which
is generally what happens. And so you call him and you and
saying you're on deadline is a courtesy to people in the know
who, who are usually media savvy, and they know that okay,
I can get you something in time or I can't. And they usually say
if your media savvy say, I can't help you, I won't be able to get
you anything. Why or what are you go? What is your deadline?
Exactly. And then you and they come back with with two o'clock
and then you say I can't do any I can't help you. Sorry.
Right. Just leave it right. But then they come back with Okay,
so we're going this is literally what she did. No,
they shouldn't do that. That's what she said. If you ask them
to debt, did you ask him the deadline?
No, I'm not. I'm telling you what's happened with Taylor
Lorenz, and I'm talking about Taylor arrest. She's out of
control. That's the one I'm talking about. She said. No,
she's no, no. Oh, yeah.
He was using me.
Yeah. In Holland, there was a disc completely irrelevant.
Nothing to do. Just I was saying that. I know journalists do this
and what and what they do is, well, if you don't have to, if
you said okay, I'm sorry, I can't help you. You don't have
time, her response would be great. We're gonna go with what
you have that you have a special relationship with that account,
you know, then they just assume that's yeah,
that's just a bad. That's Thank you. That's what I wanted to
hear.
She's no good. I was questioning myself. was quite
she does that sort of thing. That's that's not right. I mean,
I'm surprised even talking about her will draw her ire and you
will probably get some Oh, no. So hit piece I tried to
Oh, Mike, and she's an ageist if you listen to she was on. Oh my
god. I couldn't even clip it. It was so bad. She was on with
Jason Calacanis, who now has Molly wood working for him. Did
you know that? Yeah. Yeah, I did this Week in Startups. That was
interesting. So and they're like, oh, they love her. Oh, she
just threw another team bomb and like all dig in her. And she
gets on and she's talking about her. You know, these guys. They
boomers on Tik Tok, and she's really ageist. It's just, I
think this all is it. Somehow it all comes together as a part of
Twitter and Elon Musk wanting to buy Twitter now. Apparently,
he's putting together a tender offer. Somehow. I think it's
related to that because out of control, it seems it seems like
in the United States, liberals and perhaps let's just say the
Democrat Party are really afraid that that Twitter would not be
under their, their auspices there. Thumb. It's like it's
it's kind of obvious.
I find it fascinating is as much as you do. It's, it's, there's a
humor element to it to that just to watch them twist in the wind.
And Ilan Z has always got that smirk on his face. Like he knows
what he's doing. Yeah. And
there was something one of the some interesting connections, so
Oh, yes. What is this? After Twitter rejects, Musk offered
DeSantis and musk team up with a new strategy. So implying that
the governor of Florida is going to crap. Yeah. And you know, you
know, how they make this connection? Because the state of
Florida, you know, they have a, they have investments for the
Pension Fund, and the pension fund has a has, you know, I own
some, some shares in Twitter. So now it's like when Elon does
something I add, it's now DeSantis is doing it too. Is
there together? Well, a stretch.
It's fascinating that that Calacanis and Mollywood haven't
got a clue.
But no, no, no, no, no, they hum and now I'm thinking I should
have clipped it because all you hear is well, you know, GOP,
GOP, GOP GOP. Why don't you say either once you call out who's
really GOP is nothing Republican national, you know, the
Republican Party, you know, the National, the actual
organization. Now, it's just, it's just more political
bullcrap. And, and the show was called This Week in Startups.
Yeah, it sounds like other shows that are supposedly tech shows
and just wanted to Talk about politics. Yeah,
exactly. Well, we'll talk about some tech. Here's my favorite
Netflix. I know who could have predicted that a?
Well, you know, there were there were signals. There were signs.
John, we've been saying this for years. We've been calling this
Netflix a Ponzi for years. It's a it's
no, but it was it was. You can almost say the same thing about
Tesla. The stock is sure skyrocketed. Yes, of course, it
maintained a very high number. It was very hard to short. And
people were. We talked about this on the Dijon plush all the
time about shorting, shorting Netflix's like, you know, taking
real gamble because these, they just had everything going on to
keep shorts from working out. But everyone kept wanting to do
it. And so now that it actually collapsed, practically, I mean,
I think there's a long way it was just starts to go down once
the stock start to dip bottom is zero people or let me it's not
200
When we play this
overnight Netflix stock plunging as much as 5% After the
streaming powerhouse announced it lost subscribers for the
first time in more than a decade. Just when you think it
couldn't get any worse. It just does. Netflix blaming more
competition, illegal password sharing and Russia's invasion of
Ukraine.
The first password sharing Putin that was nonsense. They
encouraged password sharing amongst families.
Of course, they do five members I think and Putin loyalty
they had a number but all these services, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon,
they all encourage password sharing,
get get beyond the password sharing. Its Putin Don't you
understand
word sharing and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The company
ended the first quarter.
I'd love to know how Russia's invasion of Ukraine is that
because the Ukrainians are stopped watching, you know,
like, Oh, we're getting invaded cancel Netflix.
It seems to me that if anyone is going to be illegal sharing
passwords is going to be Ukrainians. Netflix stock should
have shot up
toward sharing and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The company
ended the first quarter with 200,000 fewer subscribers than
the end of last year,
we're seeing a lot of the subscription fervor that was
going on during the pandemic we're seeing starting to slow
down
after increasing its monthly cost in January. The basic
Netflix plan is now about $10. But according to a new study,
more than 60% of people think they shouldn't have to pay any
more than 750 per month for a streaming service.
So what I love about the story is that did this story that was
ABC, but the whole arable so the whole industry is collapsing,
network television, the ratings are abominable, everything
interruptive. Anything that is interrupted by advertising has
sucked. That's why everyone was loving. Netflix, of course, they
have some hits. And then Hulu, and I think a lot what, what No,
I'm going back. All right now they have bridgerton. But they
before that, you know House of Cards, they've had hits, they've
had single hits, which brought people in and then once the hit
is over once they've been hit, which I think is probably well,
this is last quarter big bridges and just started. But these are
incredibly expensive. They have to pay off all the everyone
upfront instead of you know, being a back end deal for a lot
of actors and producers, etc. And you could just see, with all
the competition that someone had to go down and the amount of
debt that Netflix has is just insane. But now their strategy
moving forward is the real head shaker. They're going to do a
free tier with advertising.
It's called OTA is called get an antenna stick it on the back of
your TV set.
I mean, that's that is that goes against the entire model. Yeah.
So I love it. I want to see all this stuff collapse. So maybe we
should say something about Netflix is programming in
general. Any there's a few things that we watch bridgerton
would be the one I guess. And if and if you just scroll down the
homepage, it's all woke stuff.
Yes to turn walk. Well, the guy who runs Netflix, Hoffman.
He used to support he used to he doesn't run anymore doesn't know
but he's still got influence. Of course. I think he's still on
the board.
Yeah, he's he's a what is He? Is chairman is they know I mean,
you were gonna say so the guy
is the biggest supporter of woke stuff. He is the guy who put in
gas going down in Los Angeles. Right? That's right. Amen. And
Soros put this guy in in two places become a crime ridden
hellhole. And that's reason enough for people in LA to turn
on him.
But there's, there's more stuff with the streamers. And I'll
just include Spotify as a streamer as well, again, another
company that really hasn't ever published a profit as far as I
know anything meaningful. They had all these exclusive deals
Joe Rogan deal being the most visible. But you know, one of
the other really big deals in fact, before Joe Rogan came in,
and we talked about it was the Obamas. And they're out there in
variety saying, Yes, we're going to do anything. We're going to
end our exclusive deal with Spotify. No, I think something
else happened here. I think Spotify went no, no, we remember
that they couldn't feel the advertising. They didn't have
enough people. And so they had to take it from an exclusive on
Spotify and open it up. So every podcast app could then listen to
it for their nose, a tide or whatever it was their launch
sponsor is pathetic. No one cares. That's the point. No one
cares. Obama's yes, we're looking at what they're looking
for higher ground is their production company.
I know it was a hill should be the name.
They're looking for a new deal with a non exclusive deal. So
they want a lot of money. And so they can still publish it
everywhere, I guess. And it's the Michelle Obama podcast. You
know, y'all also had the Born in the USA, which was a podcast
with the President Obama and Bruce Springsteen, basically a
very sad mo facts with Adam curry rip off. Yeah, so I'm just
celebrating the death of mainstream that's what I'm doing
here. I love it. I love it.
You're in a dead yet
go. It's dead. I
watched stuff. I watched shows, watch things I minded my
thinking. Advice for people is to get an OTA antenna.
Yeah, this is this is a digital, every television today in the
United States at least can receive over the air. digital
signals. Very interesting. Stations are available. And so
it wouldn't matter if you're
Yeah, you can get 4k over the air. Yeah, but it's 4k of poop
is still poop. 4k of the nightly news, for example would be very
watchable. All right, cool. Well, you have to watch the
news. They got new shows. You got to see what's going on.
Yeah, and it's not a big bad thing. And then I think Hulu is
my favorite of all the streamers got HBO plus, it's got
everything on it just like it was you paid the premium for it.
In other words, you get no commercials for any show. Zero
commercials for like TV, regular network TV is fabulous. And OTA
Bumi. Good.
An update another thing we kind of stumbled onto and I had no
idea this was taking place. And this is the auto sear switches.
And we played a clip of some of these we got called
out on this well called out I mean, I got called No we all
because I was going on up I believe Matt,
I believe me, we both we both got called out as not knowing
what's going on. And I think that's okay, because this is
relatively new the past that's relatively we can't
know everything. And we definitely can't know about
this. This is pretty wild.
So the so the report was some the mass shooting, use the Glock
automatic pistol, which n which means it could shoot off you
know this full mag of 33 rounds within a couple of seconds. And
I'd never heard of it. You hadn't heard of it. We thought
it was typical, mainstream misreporting but no this the
auto sear is indeed like a 20 to $20 device that was just tapping
it right onto the back of your Glock turns it into a into an
and there's I've looked at gene gun I've looked into this
there's there's wire hanger sear, auto Sears which you can
basically jam a coat hanger into your into your AR 15 and have it
go full auto. I'm not gonna explain the mechanics was very,
very simple. But here's the thing that blew me away. And
auto sear the most common automatic conversion device
transforms a semi automatic gun into a weapon capable of
emptying an entire magazine with a single pull of the trigger,
also known as switches or chips. Auto seers have been around
since the 70s. Baby we got bell bottoms and auto Sears coming
back. This is groovy.
Oh yeah, no this Yeah, that would be great comparison. If
anyone ever knew of those things back in the day. Well, I'm
just reading the mainstream news. Someone knew about it. I
didn't I didn't. But this this is
you know, they used to have you know, I sent to one of the guys
who sent me a bunch of, you know, all the details of some
videos and how they work and all the rest. And, and I'm thinking
this is like a big new deal to Mac 10 was always designed to be
turned into a machine gun. A Little Mac 10 or Mac 11 Nowadays
with did Mac 10. Yes, John,
you're missing you're missing the point. This is a $20 upgrade
that any gangbanger anybody can use. And here's the problem.
These are being shipped into our country on mass from China. Of
course, this this is this is the real problem. The Chinese are
giving us everything we need to kill ourselves, fentanyl. I
don't love it. Yeah, but I don't know if this design was a
Chinese designers just some shot in China in China.
It's not a Chinese design. But it's coming in from China. Yeah,
but if it wasn't good, okay, let's do this. Before we get
into the anti Chinese. I don't know what to call it. bigotry.
If it wasn't coming in from China, you don't think somebody
would be making it here or Germany or Mexico?
I think
I don't think it's so specific to that Chai I just think that
Chinese somebody find a source and China can make it damn
cheap.
Well, then we need to find whoever that source is and stop
them because that's the problem. But if I or if I say okay,
here's my design China send it to me. That's going to be
traceable to me. If China is just sending these things in
through any other means they send seeds to everybody. Why not
throw it in auto sear? I don't know. But the fact
that when and when you know with? Yeah, with the fentanyl?
Yeah, there's one in the box.
Free with every key of fentanyl. The point is, is that what's not
being discussed is how these are getting in where they're coming
from who designed them who ordered them who shipped them.
We're not we can't get I think that boat sailed we can't get
fertilizer from China but we got Otto Sears. Once you get
to us they come on what's the Chinese get a hold of the design
I did every buddy's cloning it he never figured out.
I'm just gonna go with it. Screw the Chinese. They're just
sending this to us to kill us, for us to kill ourselves. It's
perfect. It's perfect. This is the right moment to roll this
out. Everything's stressful. You've got all kinds of crime.
And now we are now all of a sudden people are spewing 30
rounds in two seconds.
That's unbelievable. If you did videos or online, watch this.
This thing should it can't be good for the gun. No start with
that premise. It's
not good for the gun but also you're not really going to hit
anything targeted. You're going to spray stuff all around the
room or wherever you happen to be shins is very, very, very bad
party gun. Very bad. Very bad. Party gun now. This is the this
is the gangbanger gun. So maybe we do the latest COVID update
that concerns mainly the United States. It may have implications
for the rest of the world. And that would be our mandates on
federally regulated transportation.
I have the mass ruling mat mass mask ruling.
Yes, I have. Well, let me let me play a I have a couple of you. I
see what you have. Let me just play a quick
intro. Many health officials are worried that we're lifting the
mask mandates too soon, especially with the emergence of
a more contagious severity. And that's
not the one I wanted. What What can you all oh crap Wait, do
I want I want to be let's
start with this one. We are just getting clarity from the
administration on that judge's ruling today saying they are
reviewing the judge's order. But that for now the TSA will not
enforce the mask mandate on public transportation and adding
to all of that confusion. As you mentioned, there is a new mask
mandate here in Philadelphia. That took effect today. That
means about 20,000 fans here to see the 70 Sixers play tonight
we'll have to mask up once again. You can now fly or ride
the buses and trains mask free. The move comes just hours after
a federal judge in Florida ruled it was unlawful. Today a US
district judge said the court accepts the CDCs argument that
masks will limit COVID-19 transmission, but that alone was
not sufficient to exceed the agency's authority. infectious
disease specialist Dr. Celine gounder says it's still too
soon. You
don't know how the BA two variant is going to play out
across the country. As of right now my advice as a physician to
anybody traveling on a plane would be to continue wearing a
mask, when you're traveling on public transportation, including
on an airplane
will set the context for people who don't live in America have
just kind of missed this somehow the CDC asserted it had the
regulatory authority and power to impose these mandates. And
that was ultimately challenged by a federal judge if we're not
challenged, but overturned by a federal judge in Florida, of
course, a Trump appointee, which makes it just that much more
fun. And also, you got to wonder why now and why not a year ago,
judge because Trump has
came before her in the US, the judges can just ad lib and do
whatever they want, whenever they want. How does how does
that work? You have to have something has to come before you
that make a determination. Do we know who brought this before the
judge? It's kind of vague, but somebody did. And it was in
Florida. And that's when the whole thing came down. I have
the NPR stuff, which kind of outlines it a little bit. This
is this is mask ruling one.
The federal government is now appealing a court decision that
struck down the federal mask mandate on public
transportation. The Justice Department filed the appeal at
the request of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
face coverings became optional this week on many planes, trains
and buses after a federal judge declared that the CDC had
exceeded its authority in requiring masks for travelers,
the CDC has faced many such challenges to its authority
during the pandemic to what it can and can't do in the name of
public health. Now, it's fighting back.
So we kind of kind of we kind of jumped over one little piece
here is the the mandate was overturned, which is its
immediate law. And you probably saw people on the airplanes
getting the announcements with various responses, but I will
say mainly positive. On the 18th, when this took place, the
CDC had already said we're going to do two more weeks until May
3, to just to make sure that everything's okay with the BA to
variant. Then there was this period of like 36 hours, like
are they going to appeal or what are they going to do and then it
was no we're not going to appeal then we are going to appeal to
now they are appealing. And I look forward to what else you
have from NPR. Well, here's
part two of the same clip.
NPR health reporter ping Wang is here. Hi, ping.
So this wait a minute, what do you say hey, I was his name. She
say their
NPR health reporter pin Wong is here. Hi, ping. Hey, Ari. This
mask?
Hey, Ari got it that is
now being challenged by the Justice Department. will it
stand?
Well, that's still up in the air. As you mentioned, the
Justice Department and CDC are now appealing to get a travel
mask mandate reinstated. And the CDC says the order for wearing
masks on planes, trains and buses is still needed for public
health and also appeal the decision protects the public
health authority. She said ad libbing?
No, no, they all reporting. They all say this. They all say
safe and effective. Okay, I'm sorry. It's just one of those
little terms they throw and go on the order
for wearing masks on planes, trains and buses is still needed
for public health. And also that appealed the decision protects
the public health authority. The nationwide mask mandate on
trains buses and planes was strike down Monday by a Trump
appointed judge who thought that the CDC did not have the
authority to make people wear masks, even if it might be good
for public health. The Justice Department and CDC disagrees. So
this evening, the DOJ filed a notice of appeal in federal
court in Tampa to get the ball rolling
question, is it so this is specifically the Department of
Justice's job to go against the federal judge? Is that is that
is that the typical procedure?
Well, they can go against any judge they want.
Right. But is it typically the Department of Justice DOJ who
does that? And then and what does that mean? It goes to the
next anyone
can do it. Department of Justice, the one that would be
was the one that was affected because they're representing the
United States government. Okay. Department of Justice is the
lawyers for the government. Okay. I gotcha. And so that, so
this is against the CDC, so boom, they would take it. Got
it.
So if it was a question of authority, whether the CDC is
allowed to do this, is it clear what kinds of powers the CDC
has?
Well, traditionally, the CDC makes the most use of its soft
powers, you know, Salvesen to persuade states and individuals
to do things for the sake of public health, but it also has
hard powers which go back to the 1944 Public Health Service Act.
And the past, the agency has used these to quarantine
individuals and in this pandemic, CDC has been using
them to issue broad orders on a range of things, like making
travelers tests mask to banning evictions and turning migrants
away at the borders. Dr. Marty stetron. The CDC is head of
global migration and quarantine told me last year that this is
new territory for the CDC.
This has has been the largest and most expansive or inclusive
use of regulatory authority. Given the unprecedented nature
of this pandemic threat,
no one from CDC would talk on the record now as these orders
get challenged in court and the mask ruling was just the latest
defeat.
I thought we had dealt with the CDC didn't we didn't we all like
when we all laughing at the CDC because they reversed they
reversed all of their their positions like overnight clearly
political move, and and it was all CDC, we need to get rid of
them. They need to have a we need to have a new organization,
we need to reboot them have something new. I wonder if
that's part of what this is? You
never know. I mean, he's so politicized at this point. is as
if the CDC you know, they turn left there, they say, you know,
this, these Republicans have a point. No, they don't you should
go. It's hard to say what the basis of this these craziness is
or are about, but it is totally political. Was that part? Yeah,
it was too. That was too. Oh, okay. All right. Threes got the
kicker in it.
Um, like what were some of the others?
Well, the biggest blow came last August, when the Supreme Court
ruled that the CDC exceeded its authority with its ban on
evictions, Lindsey Wiley, health law professor at UCLA said that
the move was a bit of a stretch for CDC.
A lot of the general public and a lot of federal judges feel
like you know, this isn't exactly what CDC is role should
be. This is something state and local governments are doing and
it should really be left to them.
Ultimately, the Supreme Court said CDC didn't have the
authority to do it, and they strike it down. Now that was one
ruling on evictions. But law experts say it had a ripple
effect, lower courts could use it to limit the CDC has powers
to and the judge in Florida did cite it this week as she
canceled the travel mask mandate.
What would that ripple effect do if the CDCs powers get
restricted? More broadly? What kind of impact could that have
on public health?
Well, we're all gonna die. They worry that limiting public
health powers is short sighted. Here's one department, a health
law professor at Northeastern University, you can't
assume that everything in
the future is going to look either epidemiologically or
politically, like what we have seen.
She says that the next pandemic could be very deadly to kids or
one where Republicans might want more restrictive measures than
Democrats as they did during the Ebola outbreak. She says that
the CDC, right of Paris to deal with health threats effectively.
Now ultimately, Congress may need to step in and spell out
the agency's powers. But with the current political climate,
it's not a clear path.
Yeah, yeah.
So the CDC said no evictions what is there? What what, what
can it what they're doing? Military Police in a war zone,
they can't make these sorts of edicts, and now they're all bent
out of shape because they got overturned by the Supreme Court.
The whole thing is bogus.
I think Jen Psaki kind of let the cat out of the bag what this
really is about it's not about your your health for the next
two weeks or your safety traveling it's about the future.
And the Department of Justice, as you noted, has indicated that
they would appeal not just because they think it's entirely
reasonable of course to have this additional time to look at
it but because they think that the current for current and
future public health crises we want to preserve that that
authority for the CDC to have
just about power it just want to have it for the next thing they
want to put that in there. It'll be a bag on your head. They just
wanted to just want this power holes in it to power from the
faceless nameless
CDC. That's exactly right. They want to put a bag on your head
and march you around. Yeah. Nailed it. Yeah.
The flight way I
have a long I haven't longer clip about the about the appeal.
Oh, let's do that. Let's do it. You could play it you can cut it
off because this is definitely was not clipped properly by me.
I can tell by the little Yeah. Let's listen. The thing is,
it's all up to the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Yeah. This is the mask. Yeah. Yeah. This obviously the front
end of this clip did what did not belong to Ukrainians is not
part of this clip.
To Ukraine say it's hard to know exactly how prepared they really
are.
Ukrainians have been okay. I'm not going to edit your clip. I
do. I do have the representative of the flight attendants union
and her thoughts and you have to understand she's she's being
interviewed and she has a big Starbucks union badge on I don't
know why she's maybe it's just promoting another Union for the
heck of it. But she gets a little irritated and I find her
quite irritating and in fact as well passengers were cheering
and Phil said a lot of crews were cheering were were you
things to see NBC actually or
was it like everything else in this country? They were half of
the crew was cheering and the other half was As was booing
were most flight attendants happier said that the mass
mandate was lifted for for
for airplanes. Well, look,
Joe, we've been enforcing this mask mandate, not just since it
was a federal mandate, but for over two years now. And we put
that in place. Let's not forget that the airlines put that in
place without any support from the federal government. Because
we needed to get people to understand that they could be
safe flying on the plane.
What do you mean, this is this sounds a little revisionist. He
says we we put the mandate in place the airline industry put
the mandates in place without support from the federal
government. It was the federal government who came up with the
distances and they had this I remember all the
animation of how many people who were you had to be for the air
filtration
crate had all these models of how the airflow worked, and it
was it was totally forced, without support from the
government shows so
she's pro masks she'd be they do she's Yeah, I've heard her all
happy as clams because they don't have to call people out
to people to understand that they could be safe flying on the
plane. Now we've had certain mitigation factors since then,
of course, the vaccine, more access to proper PPE, more
access to testing but you know on a plane you have to have the
spirit that we're all in this together everybody has to
practically in dress in order to show that they're not a security
threat or give no extensive data to the government so they can
assess that before she laughs I
know I'm glad you caught it because I want to stop and say
she's talking about everyone has to show you're not we're all in
this together this this by the way this is real fascists talk
from this lady. We're all in this together. You have to give
extend extensive information to the government about yourself.
Yes, you got that laugh in there?
Why are you laughing? Lady?
My name is Noemi I'm sorry, to have the spirit that we're all
in this together everybody has to practically in dress in order
to show that they're not a security threat or give
extensive data to the government so they can assess that before
you go through that those security checkpoints. And you
have to wear your seatbelt is not just about you. It's about
protecting everyone around you because you can be thrown around
and fall down on them. The same idea. The only reason that this
has been an issue is because it was so politicized. So I want to
be really clear, you asked me the question, where do we stand?
We did not take a position on extending the mass mandate. And
the reason for that is because you're right. It's split. I have
members and I have actually passenger a lot of passengers
I'm hearing from this morning, who are begging us even go on
strike to stop this people are really upset about it. And I
have other people who have been waiting and really excited for
this to go away. I have to say going into the summer months for
flight attendants. It's hard for maybe somebody flying a couple
hours on a flight to wear a mask. Imagine people who've been
on the front lines wearing the mask for 14 1516 hours and
having to enforce it with other people who are grumbling all the
time. So there's absolutely a sigh of relief from flight crews
but there's also people who are really concerned
slanted report and the way it started off put Where'd you get
this
CMBC Yeah,
so Well, I think there's something else it offered to
Boeing. I've seen clip after clip of people in these
airplanes.
Not all cheering booing
Oh boo I want
to wear a mask does it make sense that well want to wear a
mask wear a mask you had to
boo we have to bear a couple of things in mind one the mask is
political you got to mask your cool your damn you're not
wearing a mask you're likely Republican prop possibly Q anon
that's that's the way it's perceived
it could be could be
that also in Congress they were working on a bill for the rowdy
passengers you know this was the Buddha judge thing instead of
focusing on getting you know actual pilots and flight
attendants to work and training new ones because we're going to
be quite short in the 10s of 1000s of pilots certainly no no
no we're we've got to make rules to punish these rowdy passengers
that's off the table now because they can't do it the you know
there's there's no more rowdy passengers is going to end
because the mask mandates will end you watch all of a sudden
people are going to calm down not not entirely because we're
still missing way too many TSA agents so the lines are still
the line saying
people are being stressed they're stressed at the very
stressed very scripts I'm on an airplane and a small enclosed
tube. Now here's Come on.
Here's some great news. email from the knowledge check family
now you recall the knowledge check family The whole family,
our producers and our Knights and Dames
the main providers of meat to the no agenda AUDIENCE That's
right. They had they lost their USDA seal of approval because
they would not force their employees to all wear masks,
which is not a mandate, but the inspectors from the FDA would
come along and say well, if it and they do these, you know, pop
inspections, we're here we are. And if anyone doesn't have a
mask, we're walking away. We're not doing your inspection. So
Screw you and and God bless the Nola chick family. They sued the
government. And here's an update. Greetings in the morning
from everyone, no check meats in Thorpe, Wisconsin. An update
regarding our case against the USDA challenge and legality of
FSI s notice 34 to 21. This is the masking thing. Well, it's
nothing short of a miracle. On March 15. The science changed
according to the CDC and the USDA rescinded the notice. In
all reality, the Department of Justice knew that didn't have a
case to withhold the federal market inspection visa vie
notice and didn't want to lose in court. And just like that the
science changed overnight. Yes, we technically won our case
against the USDA, however, only because the notice was rescinded
and therefore the case was dismissed without prejudice. But
lack of accountability on the part of the federal government
regarding what was illegally imposed by the USDA is the
frustrating part. So that I gosh, I would love for them to
go and just say just keep swimming Just keep suing for
lost revenue anything. While I think they probably did better
because of the no agenda or
anyone your sales increase because
anyway, they do want to that so we've moved from one
manufactured crisis to another just keeps getting stranger and
stranger. But here we are doing the work. It's encouraging
though to see people coming together stepping in ways that
empower others to find their voice What a time to be alive.
Thank you to the great producers have no agenda for sharing your
time, talents and treasure to the best podcast in the
universe, and for bringing 100% listeners. And of course if
listeners are feeling inclined, I love these guys. Now let's
check to set up a discount code for all orders placed on us ITM
33 for 20% checkout to discount on all orders. We're very happy
for the Neolithic families horrible when when the small
producers of America gets so pestered. And and what a farce
man for them just to drop it eight holes.
Tough to do what you do.
So while all this conversation is going on is it's
just one less mass clip, if you will. Yeah, sure. Let's do I got
one more mass is a local story from masks on Uber and Lyft.
And, and it's just, it's not a great clip. It's just like, it's
a hit. It's one of those head shaking clips. Like why do
people care this much about any of this? Uber and
Lyft have now dropped their masking requirements for
rideshare drivers and riders as a DD Bundler moody reports from
member station KQED. Drivers now weighing how that decision will
affect their safety. The
rideshare companies are also allowing customers to sit in the
front passenger seat, which was previously blocked off. Mohammed
Shafiq Qureshi, who has been an Uber driver in the Bay Area,
since it launched in 2009. Says before vaccines were available,
he wanted riders to wear masks, now that he's vaccinated and
boosted good he is getting more comfortable driving without a
mask
is depend on the passenger. Because for example, if you look
say, a little bit scary, otherwise, you know, I mean, I
have no issue.
Advocates for rideshare drivers, however, say the move will put
drivers at risk. Some drivers also may not feel comfortable
asking customers to wear masks for fear of a bad review.
Did we forget the last two and a half years of mass debate and we
pass debate. And we know that they really just aren't that
effective? Did we just collectively forget this?
I don't know how it works. I've always thought the same kind of
thing. And we've been doing this show for 15 years. And I don't
know how it works. I've concluded that it's like the
very fine people is like these things have locked in like out
like a bad tick. And just hang on for dear life. And there's
nothing you can do about it. You're just stuck. And yeah, and
it'll be in the history but it doesn't matter.
It's propagandists because it's a constant message that gets
ever ends. And this is actually kind of a distraction, because
what the conversation is like the
gassing and Syria. Yeah, exactly. It all the line. They
drew a line and they got done. They got gas, they didn't do
anything. I mean, you just can't do anything about it. And it's
it's the most frustrating part about doing these
reports. Well, Captain Bob Snow was doing something about it.
There was a report about a week ago, maybe maybe almost two
weeks ago that an Airbus had landed in. I want to say Dallas
American Airlines and six minutes after landing, which I
don't know if that was during taxi or at the gate, the pilot
passed out, I went into full cardiac arrest was was brought
back to life with three, three shocks to the heart. And and
this immediately, of course was blamed on the mandated
vaccinations there was no real. I didn't see any reporting of
this in mainstream any whatsoever because why would
they considering who sponsors them. But Captain Bob Snow has
recorded his own little video, audios not great, but you'll be
able to hear it. He's in the ICU, he's all wired up. He's got
everything coming out of him.
My name is Noah and accountability captain for a
number of years in total service with the company has over 31
years. On November 7, I was mandated to receive a vaccine.
Quite literally, I was told if I did not receive the vaccination,
I would be fired. This was my director of flight. Also, under
duress, I received the vaccine. Now, just a few days ago, after
landing in Dallas, and six minutes after we landed, I
passed out, I coded, I recorded three shots, I need to be
intubated. I'm now in the ICU in Dallas. This is what the vaccine
has done for me, I will probably never fly again, based upon the
criteria that the FAA establishes for pilots, I was
hoping to teach my daughter to fly, she wants to be a pilot,
that will probably never happen. All courtesy of the vaccine.
This is unacceptable. And I'm one of the victims, you can see
that this is actual results from the vaccine for some of us
mandatory no questions asked, give it a shot, or you're fired.
This is not the American way.
Now typically, we'd say with this kind of truth bomb, you
might want to be careful of flying small aircraft and stay
away from hot tubs. In this case, I'd like to recommend
maybe get out of the ICU. Yeah, yeah, the fact that this guy has
too many good TV shows where somebody comes in just puts the
pillow over your head and walks out casually.
You know, and now we're seeing hepatitis popping up everywhere
massive increase in Europe, Australia, New Zealand chronic
COVID is very aids like as an acquired immune deficiency
disease. Not not not necessarily HIV that gives you aids but aids
and people are there their immune systems appear to be shot
and blown out with Australia New Zealand keep record that the
politicians that health professionals actually say is
that 40% rise in cardiac arrest. We didn't know what it is. It's
crazy.
It's unbelievable. Nice, crazy talk.
But it doesn't matter because we're just going to improve the
product people promising
news from Maderna standard is new and improved. COVID shot
works better than the original vaccine. Oh, it's new and could
change how we get boosters in the future with Jonathan is at
Mount Sinai Morningside hospital here in Manhattan force. Good
morning with
Michael Good morning to you. While this new booster shot is
not yet available to the public, it's an important step as
Maderna works to create a stronger booster in the future
that can stand up to multiple variants. Maderna announcing
this new and improved booster works better than the original.
It's a so called by Vaillant booster, meaning it targets two
different variants. In this case, the shot was specifically
designed against the original and beta variants. But lab
studies showed promising results across multiple variants of
concern, including Omicron with a two fold increase in
antibodies compared to the original shot. And those
antibodies stayed high for six months. Now. Maderna is also
working on an Omicron specific booster study results are
expected sometime this summer. But experts are hopeful that a
booster of this kind could be ready to roll out to the general
public by fall, Robin encouraging all right, well,
thank you,
Dan. COURAGING, the by valen booster. Yeah, they're not
stopping this is not going to stop. They want the power to do
it again. Maybe it'll be bird flu, I don't know, something.
They just
want is jacked up about this, this technology to the extent
that they're covering up everything. And they're using
the humans, you know, the basic human population as a testbed.
And they're not stopping because there's they must see something
in this. That is really promising. I mean, you laugh.
Yeah. But they just not doing it because they're ogres I mean,
there must be something positive. I mean, they can't be
that just pure evil. I mean, it's got to be something a plot
there has to be some plus side to it
I'm pretty sure that most of the people who do this reporting and
their producers and everyone who's who's on the beat they
they believe it they just believe it all. They're into it,
the dig in it. And then there's
no but I'm talking about behind the scenes dig that the real
people that know what the hell's going on know that this is a
fiasco.
I'm questioning how many people really know this, or really
believe it or just the audits Russian disinformation?
telling you I think most people are in denial. I'm not going to
argue that. But when these documents come out, showing this
to horrendous, you know, results and things that it should have
been it, that lesser products had been taken off the market
permanently for achieving Yeah, it's just something's,
something's wrong unless there's some true sense of this is some
sort of thing that will save us from reptilian genes or
something. I have no idea.
Well, the idea is certainly to get it into everybody's body,
that's for sure. mRNA forever. That's, that's, that is the
push. And that's been a push from the pharmaceutical industry
for a long time. We've played enough clips from them over the
years saying, God be great if we could get gene therapy in
everybody's body. Wouldn't it be great we could we could fix them
we could we could make them better improve them.
Yeah, you make people a platform. There's just been
busting
this the smart ass podcast, which I do have
people out there that will understand why that Oh, I know
what the buses
the smart ass podcast I'd never heard before. But I think I'm
going to start listening to it is a trio of very, very famous
people who do this podcast, Jason Bateman. Will Arnett and
Sean Hayes and Jason Bateman, of course, Ozarks and Teen Wolf
three. Will Arnett many, many things Saturday Night Live
course. And Sean Hayes willing grace. And it's kind of a fun
podcast. But it was really interesting to hear how they
missed entirely what is going on with testing. And this is Sean
Hayes. He's explaining how he needed to get a test because
he's on Broadway, or he's in the theater. And he has to have a
test every single day to go into the theater and performing the
stage. And he got the run around, and it just doesn't
click for them. What's really going on here I have a list
of crazy. So when I go to the theater, I have to have a COVID
test every week, right? And so still, and so I missed this one
day. So they said oh, you have to go just go to one of these,
like free clinic places. Okay, so I Google it. It says you can
come in for you know, just like walk in, you have to make an
appointment. So I walk in, and I'm not kidding you guys.
There's no buddy there. And the woman standing right when you
walk out goes to an appointment. No. And she goes, you have to
make an appointment. I go, but I said walk in she goes yeah, but
you'd have to make one. So you can go back outside and scan the
little digital thing on your phone. And I go you're joking me
right now. Because No, I know you want me to walk outside?
Yeah. So I walk out I go watch this. And I looked at her
through the glass through the door.
Never never broke eye contact. This sounds like a
real Bateman. I was so angry. Picture thing, and I'm filling
it out just giving her evil looks while I'm filling this
out. I log in all my information. I walk in she goes
Can I help you? She wasn't even kidding. She goes Do you have an
appointment? Was it easy McClary. Like oh, wait, this is
a joke. So she goes yeah, I have an appointment. She goes right
over here to a line that doesn't exist. And then this guy at the
front desk is like Do you have an appointment? I go yes, I do.
You say great. And then he tells me to go wait in this other
line, there's no line, it's just a thing to go get tested.
They're really missing the communist nature of what is
taking place here. You need to get a test for your work. And
you have to scan the QR code you have to go through the procedure
these this is this is like secret. This is the the merchant
class in complete compliance and obedience with the government
taking your information, passing it on making sure we know
everything about you fill out more information stand in line.
It's funny now because he has to do a test for his theater. It's
not going to be so funny when it's for food. And other things
couple of things. This is reminiscent some comedy bits
I've seen where the you know, the person says goes to order at
the at the at the window and the guy says Does the pickup window
you gotta go Go to the ordering window. And so the guy goes over
the ordering window. Same guy does Okay, I'll take your orders
and then you know, I mean it's in other words is it's a facade.
It's bull crap and that's what was going on with this. But I
think they missed it. And it is a stretch but it's an
interesting theory. I think they miss the communist nature of it
of the bull crap. The phony baloney bureaucracy, the phony
go out, do this, but you could just do it right here in front
of me. Because they're in New York, and New York has been
turned into a communist city states.
Well, we are going to New York. So I can't I can't wait to bring
a full report after we we arrived tomorrow in the
communist state of New York. But there's there's more man with
these QR codes. This is a quickie possible
sign of the future in sports. Check out the jerseys worn by
the University of Central Florida's football team during
their spring game unique QR codes replace numbers on their
backs. Fans can scan the code to learn more about the players
technology I tell you.
Yeah, I tell you how long before we have to wear a QR. This is
better. A yellow QR code is better than a yellow star. So
you can just yeah, just me scan you. So it was normal. We scan
football players,
we should all have QR codes on our on our clothing. Yes.
Clothing badges. So they can be square bags, they may square
badges, square button pins perfect pin one on this year's
QR code and you have to have the right one or you can get fined.
Yes, it's gonna be great. It's perfect. Ah, let me see. Oh, no,
I don't I don't think I have anything else on COVID. And it's
just just kind of where we're at. So I I know that the mass
mandate will not be overturned is that's not for now. That's
for future future use. And they're still working on some
vaccines was kind of a taken a backseat but still pushing,
pushing, pushing. We got cases, cases cases. Do you think that
we'll have an outbreak by the summer or we're just going to
wait until fall as usual?
I'm not looking forward to are seeing an outbreak coming. I
think things over ice predict this? And no, I'm
not talking about real. I'm talking about politically
driven.
i They? Well, let's see that midterms are coming in and
primaries are coming in June. They're they're gonna I don't
think there's gonna do anything because I think this they have
mixed input from this specialists that you know, the,
whether you call them these political strategists that come
on the TV, but they have these political strategists, and
they're all going to talk to each other and say, What, should
we do an outbreak? I mean, we could do it. But was that going
to hurt our chances? And they're not going to do anything?
They're not going to do anything they can't take a chance of,
you're already in trouble. Yeah, I think that I mean, what the
one thing I could say if I was the strategist, I suggest the
following look. It's just a risky one because we're in
trouble. I'm a Democrat strategist. Just for this
purposes of this argument. We're kind of in trouble. everyone
kind of knows we're in trouble. We're going to lose a lot of
seats. We're going to lose probably the house for sure. And
the Senate probably also so we're going to Joe Biden is
going to be well that's pretty good. Because Joe is you know is
does a lousy job anyway solicited be great. And I worry
we can blame the Republicans for nothing happening. But But do we
want to lose that that much power in these in these hearings
and all the rest that we've been doing because they'd be flipped?
Everyone will be run by the Republicans? Now? We could
there's one thing we could do. We could have a pandemic re
hurt, redo, and then shut down. Make people stay inside again
and force mail in ballots because we know how that works.
And we control the outcome. That that's the only shot we have.
No, they have one other shot. The one other shot and it's on
deck. I mean, if you follow the follow the logic of the World
Economic Forum, but also just we need to do something to curtail
the inflation. The last what we know we've explained it with
Putin is price hike. We tried to stop we the central banks and
whoever else involved. The douchebags of the world, locked
down the economy suppress everything that was really
trying to keep inflation out of sight. The next thing on the
agenda is the cyber pandemic. And 60 minutes is right there.
Tonight there's
growing concern about Russian threats here at home, US
authorities warned that the Kremlin could launch cyber
attacks on American soil. Experts say this could impact
everything from public transit to banks to the energy sector
for 60 minutes. CBS is Bill Whitaker spoke with Dimitri
Petrovich, the Moscow born co founder of the cybersec curity
company CrowdStrike and a member of the Homeland Security
Advisory Council.
I just need to stop here for a second. So it's clearly Putin
who's driving the forthcoming bringing down our electric grid
and anything else banking sector, you name it. So let's
talk to the guy who was born in Russia is in Ukraine, in Ukraine
and works for CrowdStrike. The one of the most controversial
this was in CrowdStrike with some other hokey
no CrowdStrike CrowdStrike CrowdStrike. But
she said, I thought she said something else. Listen,
what occurs spoke with Dimitri Petrovich, the mosquito borne co
founder of the cybersecurity company CrowdStrike and a member
of the Homeland Security.
Red Cross strike. No, it's CrowdStrike the same people
CrowdStrike we know them. We've been following them since day
one. Yeah.
So let's, let's get a Russian born guy. I'm just gonna be a
douche about it. You know, a Russian born guy who operates
from from Ukraine, or did operate. This is where
CrowdStrike was founded in Ukraine. There's still plenty of
belief that the DNC server that Seth Rich guy killed over just
gonna say it, they still in possession of, of CrowdStrike.
Anyway, let's hear what he has to say about this horrible
threat that is looming.
So all of these things they can do. What is the one thing that
troubles you the most and attack on the oil and gas industry
where they go after the safety systems again, and it can cause
cascading effects and fires and potential explosions and people
die?
You would require a response from us now?
I'm gonna I'm gonna disagree with this thesis of yours as
soon as you if you want to finish this clip or not. This is
not a strategy that Democrats can employ.
Oh, I didn't say I didn't say it was the Democrats. I
specifically said this is about the financial state of affairs
and they need to curtail inflation.
Oh, no, I'm talking about the Democrats getting not getting
destroyed in the in the this one. I started off with a theory
that if you're a strategist, yes, crushed in the midterms. If
if we shut down things, then you're right back to paper
ballots. And who knows what else we'll close down if if something
really happens, I'm just saying that we have been promised the
cyber pandemic you take Klaus
though you're right, we've been promised that it has no one's
delivered yet. So let's
let's listen to what's coming.
And it can cause cascading effects and fires and
potentially explosions and people die.
You would require a response from us that, as you were saying
could escalate
it absolutely what
not just a cyber war, but a real war.
It's a real concern. And the reality is that we have seen the
Russians in cyberspace, do some things that we thought, were
just nuts, that were so provocative, so escalatory, that
sometimes you look at that, and you say, who's controlling these
guys? You know, when the United States launches operations,
there's an army of lawyers, that is going to be approving every
step of that operation. And asking, Are you going to cause
any civilian casualties? Are you going to do anything that's
disproportionate? They don't have any of that in Russia. And
that can lead us down a very dark path.
I'm calling bull crap on this. Boy, that's a great we have an
army of lawyers when we're doing cyber operations to make sure
it's on the up and up. If it's really war. If it's really war
than this, the rules are off the table. There's more to this
joins us now from New York. That sounds really alarming.
alarming, you point out that the Russians have already targeted a
refinery in the past, right?
That right? Yes, they have Nora, in 2017 Russian hackers launched
a cyber attack against a huge oil refinery in Saudi Arabia
that targeted those safety control systems. In this case,
the hackers made a small coding mistake, and they ended up
shutting down the refinery instead of triggering a deadly
explosion.
That doesn't sound like expert Russians.
But the experts have told us Russian hackers learn from their
mistakes.
Oh, wait a minute. So do we just heard a moment ago that the
Russians are the best ever they do crazy shit, you have no idea
how good they are? And now it's like, oh, they made a mistake.
What are we talking about? We're talking about what we what we
mentioned on the shows for a week and a half ago. This is the
new malware that's been discovered. Yeah, it's
really interesting. And do we know is there any indication
that Russians are preparing for a similar cyber attack now?
Well, just last week, the US government issued a warning
about a new piece of malware dubbed pipe dream. One
cybersecurity expert told us the initial targets are liquefied
natural gas and electric power sites in North America. The
malware is suspected to be of Russian origin and is far more
advanced and versatile than what was used in Saudi Arabia.
Before before you continue, you have to reiterate what you
played with things in the last show. One of our guys wrote in
one of our dudes named Ben, who's on this stuff,
dudes man named Ben named Ben protector of megawatts.
And he said that he looked at the code on some of this stuff
that seems to be inserted here and there. And as an American,
yes, you said it certainly didn't look Russian. And he
says, It looks like our guys, now, I've received two producer
messages that go a little bit against this theory. So what we
know about this malware is that it's like a Swiss army knife.
And it can, it has rootkits for all these different SCADA and
scatter machines. So they sit in between, in between the command
and control of what you want to have happen in your power plant,
your boiler temperature control, valves that are open, and in and
the physical world. So between the digital world of how we
control things, and then the actual valves that have to be
mechanically changed and turned. So the first note we got from
one of our producers, his his father, used to be in the
business. And he says, oh, you know, because we mentioned the
brand names of these controllers, that the machines
that that would suppose they were infected with malware. And
he says, oh, you know, back in the day, the US government
actually introduced malware themselves into the scatter and
PLCs with the intention of sabotaging Iran's uranium
enrichment process.
Yeah, we actually talked about that a long time ago, long time
ago.
And so he says, it's, it's there's malware in all of these
systems. And it was put in by the US specifically for the
purpose of stopping Iran. Another note comes from one of
our producers, who says, take a look at the documentary zero
days from 2016. And it turns out that it's not just the US, but
really, a lot of governments have malware in these machines.
So I don't know if we should be concerned if it's just business,
as usual, over is just a ticking time bomb that anybody can trip.
It doesn't seem to be so spectacular right now. Even Even
if this isn't the pipe dream, there's stuff in there that can
be tripped by apparently, multiple governments.
Yeah, that we'll find out one of these days. Yeah, when the power
goes out, but you don't care.
I do not. I'm good. I do not care. Now. I'm good, man. I'm
totally good,
is dynamite.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you, the man who put the sea in scatter and
scatter systems. Ladies and gentlemen, please say hello to
Mr. John C. Dvorak.
Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam curry. Also in the morning,
I'll shift to see who's on the ground feed the air subs in the
water. And all the names that nice out there.
What happened to your Echo system? I miss it.
Did you not use any echo system? You should have picked this up
by now I thought that means I had not opened a spreadsheet.
Oh, and I'm busily clicking.
Okay, now. I don't know what you do. I've never seen your studio.
I've never been in any avenue in your in your living room once. I
don't know anything. But if I saw you on the street, I
wouldn't even recognize you. Yeah, well you do that. Let me
say in the morning to the troll room. As far as I know. We have
one person from Europe from Heidelberg, Germany I was
looking at who was to here's the half let's count him for a
second here. Come on trolls hands up. Let me see me see we
got what are you working with today? Come on. 2178 It's a
Thursday we'll take it very nice. Good to see you all
trolls. They hang out at troll room.io where you can join us
free to join us to get right in there you can listen to the
stream live stream no agenda stream.com. And in the troll
room troll along troll each other troll me troll. You can't
troll John because he doesn't watch. But but it's 24/7 the
stream so there's a lot of live live shows people who do their
podcast live and also repeats or just a great 24 hours seven
stream of good stuff. And I recommend you go check it out.
Especially if you're a troll.
I've thought about not you know I but actually following the
troll room and doing Horowitz runs one two, and I don't do it.
And I've decided that if I was watching it and your wife were
both watching, I think it would it would ruin the pacing of the
show.
Oh totally. And you know, and I'll be honest that in the past
couple of months. The trolls have not been super helpful
usually. So I was disappointed when it came to the The Auto
sear we had no idea what it's about. And I have I have a way
of
perfect example, I know exactly what you're gonna say they
should have clued us in right there on the spot.
All I got was well it could be a Glock see 18 could be you know
all but not not that I saw it because I have a, I have a third
eye that looks at the troll room. And in this case, I was
staring right at it. Like we don't know what's going on here.
And all I saw the other
undefined mistakes. Control room should have corrected and we've
had to do a mia culpa slagging off
people. Yeah. Right, get on the ball. Now we love our trolls.
And another well actually would work very well, although not in
a live situation was no agenda social.com That's where we
learned about the auto seers and the Glock switches. Man, you
guys are good. And I didn't I didn't think we got a lot of
negative corrections. It was like, Oh, this is pretty new.
These are flooding now flooding all the cities and people had
different reports. So it was really good. I was surprised
that we had never heard of it before. It's something I would
expect our premises were down Tom stock
was Yeah, yeah. Yeah, we
did. No agenda social.com is a mastodon instance, it's on the
fediverse It's completely open this protocol. Anybody can start
a server, you can register with many Mastodon servers, and then
you can follow Jhansi Dvorak at no agenda. social.com and Adam
had no agenda social.com and join the conversation. And I
think we're going to open up the instance again, since you know
we've purged old accounts once again, people who just go away
and we have our limit at 10,000 I think we'll be able to take
three more people coming up soon. Then we want to thank the
artist for episode 1443 titled Elon sandwich and no doubt that
when we saw the the artwork page this is the submissions done by
our producers, no agenda art generator.com. You one look at
the Taunton Neil album art, and you just had to crack up. And
this was our President Joe Biden with with an eggshell on his
head with Merry Christmas. And it was I mean, we both cracked
up when we saw this.
I mean, there was a lot of art we liked or could use, but we
actually both of us literally, black. Last piece.
Now I laughed a little harder for a different reason. Because
you don't know the context of the eggshell on the head. And I
do because Taunton, Neil is Dutch. And growing up, I think
it may still be on TV somewhere. There was an Italian cartoon,
and I'm talking 73 When I think I first saw this, and the
Italian cartoon was of a little black chicken little chick with
an eggshell on his head, just like the one Biden has. And the
chicks name was Callie Miro. And Colin mero would always get
bullied. And and the the line was saying, quote, and Ethan
Klein and others need a lick, which is they're big and I'm
small, and that's not fair. And this was the whole cartoon. So
she put the collar Miro eggshell on Joe Biden, a genius move.
international success.
I liked the dimensionality of
it was really good. We appreciate it Taunton a great
job. There weren't. Of course, there were other things that we
liked. I
liked mooses piece which had Joe Biden in a bunny costume out in
front of the White House. Easter Joe, I thought that piece was
funny. He just looks so silly. It was there was a couple of
things we were going to discuss which is named Kenny bands whose
art I use for the newsletter. Her use of clip art is getting
to the point, which is it's is it's becoming a trope. And we're
shying away from
it. John at divorce iq.org
You're the one who first suggested it.
I don't know anything about that. What do you mean this is
all you? Okay, nevermind. What I liked was the No, we did discuss
this. When which one was it?
It was the Easter Bunny, which was a piece I liked a lot. The
Easter Bunny creeping up on too scared eggs. And that piece was
called Happy Easter.
Right? I see it here. Now we know that she licenses the
clipart but when I saw it, it was like, it looks like well
assembled clipart in I don't know. It's just a personal
thing. I think that because you don't have the oh gosh, I'm just
gonna dig the hole deeper here. But because you don't have that
element of you creating it quickly on the fly. You know
doing sometimes more. It's almost overproduced, how about
that? It's almost like it's too too produced to be out to be our
album art does that mean the thing
about yes this is interesting because we while we appreciate
this is an interesting from a perspective of, and we're not
art directors but we are and artists never get to hear this
kind of conversation at probably going on constantly. Yeah, it's
while we liked the avant garde Surfer Magazine art that we've
been picking on an AW, it's just wild looking. It's like wow,
this is pretty. This is just extremely creative. It has it
all that type of art always has kind of a sloppy quality to it.
It doesn't look over produced. And over produces is what Adam
means by it is pretty much what I think about it too, which is
slick. to an extreme. Yeah. To the point where it's like too
slick. And is it we see this when you see it with with
musical band you see this with videos you see it with on TV
once in a while, where something is just like, kind of makes you
itch. It's so too slick. It's this guy's or there's way too
professional showing off. And
on the other side of that, we had art by Jordan, the no agenda
with the egg. That was in fact, just a tad under produced.
Because I really liked that piece.
Well, this is the audio we got into before I sold Adam, more or
less on the merry crew. We we still we didn't we sold each
other on that on the Biden pm because but you were jacked up
about this one piece, which was a big it's called a jacked up
was rejected by you were jacked up art by Jordan. And it's just
no agenda with it. Oh, is a big brown egg. And my complaint was
it didn't have an Easter egg. We want these kinds of shows as
special shows. Especially we want an Easter, something about
Easter skyray some Easter angle. And this egg was not if it was
decorated or something anything. It was just too much just an
egg. It was clean. It was a very professional, clean looking
thing. This is something you'd pay. You'd pay a studio for as
simple as it is. You liked that piece. I liked it too. But I
did. I was missing that. And I would
say more Jide than jacked up to be honest. To me, that was Judy
with it. We appreciate Taunton, Neil, but all of the work that
everybody does. And again, we're this critique is only to make it
better. And I think it's a valuable service we send back to
the artists,
nobody, let's just put it this way, not one of the artists and
we have plenty have bitched and moaned about our critique, they
may disagree with it. And sometimes we'll get a note, but
with an explanation, saying, Oh, you missed a point, which does
happen. But generally speaking, they appreciate it. Yes, at
least we hope so. And
put, you know, the whole we think the whole prayer. Well,
the whole premise of the value for value model, which is what
we run on here is time, talent, treasure, and it has to be a
complete feedback loop. And also, you're not called
listeners, you're not called fans, you're not called an
audience. Some of you are called trolls, rightfully so. But in
general, you're all producers. And when someone sends me a
clip, I'll be like, Okay, if someone goes to the trouble,
even if they goes to the trouble of putting a clip together, if
it's no good, I'm gonna say okay, here's what you didn't do,
right? Here's how you can do better in the future. And and I
don't think anyone takes offense to that because you're
producing. That's exactly what it is. And some producers are
out of sight good. So it's all meant to make the product better
the product is for all. Now before we get into thanking our
executive and Associate Executive producers, I did want
to a shield for podcasting. 2.0 as I usually do around this
time, and the reason I'm doing it today is if you are listening
to this podcast on anything but a modern podcast app, or any
podcast, you might want to reconsider your choice, and use
a modern podcast app from new podcast apps.com. The deep
platforming is coming. It's already here. I think Spotify
and Apple these are the two main apps are going to probably
adhere to the policy recommendations from the
Brookings Institution who wrote quite a nice paper. I will heart
these are policy recommendations for addressing content
moderation in podcasts. It's a wonderful piece. You must you
must read this. I'll just highlight one. debates over
content moderation in podcasts hinge primarily on whether and
how widely to share They're so called lawful but awful content.
You see, now we have categories like it. I love
it lawful, awful
awful.
It's awesome buddy dreamed that one up and they've been sitting
on it
major podcasting apps the applications commonly used on
smartphones, tablets and computers to listen and download
the podcast episodes already have policies and procedures in
place to deal with blatantly illegal content. Spotify or
Apple's podcast won't knowingly distribute an Islamic state
recruitment podcast, since doing so would open them to
prosecution for supporting a designated terrorist group. How
podcasting apps should handle hate speech, misinformation, and
related content that is legal, but may have harmful societal
effects is far less clear. And, and then they have a quantifier
why this is so important. Today, nearly a quarter a quarter John
25% of the US population gets their news from podcasts. Now
you see why everyone's role market. As that figure continues
to rise, the content moderation policies of major podcasting
apps will need to mature accordingly. Podcasts are now a
mass medium, yet the content moderation policies and
reporting mechanisms of many podcasting apps remain
remarkably underdeveloped, as do the regulatory frameworks that
oversee them. And these two jokes, who turn out our
artificial intelligence data scientists, they are
recommending all kinds of algorithmically driven stuff. Of
course,
well, we don't have to worry about that.
No, we don't because Sure, you can probably still get us on
Apple podcasts, not on Spotify. But we will always be available
on the podcasting 2.0 apps, and you should probably consider
doing that. Besides the fact that you have all of these great
extra features new podcast apps.com. Now we want to thank
our first executive producer of episode 1444. Jeremy slate from
Newton, New Jersey comes in with $900 He's got a blue box and
he's got a purple box. That means stuff is happening with
Jeremy slate. Let's see. Thanks. Here's his no thanks to Adam for
being did I say he gave us $900 in support? Yeah, he's
fantastic. Thanks to Adam for being in my posh Newton, New
Jersey. I'd ask you.
I think it's Northwest New Jersey. Thanks to Adam for being
on my podcast this week. Oh, that's right. Yes. Jeremy Slade
podcast was this this is Oh goodness. I did it just the
other day. He had he I have to say he had been hounding me. A
very smart man. He he he's he approached me and he you know
for the reminders this the Create your own life podcast. He
started reaching out to Tina and Tina is like hey, you should do
this with this guy. And I was like, Yeah, of course I will.
And now you know me. I still have to do primerica like forget
stuff. And then there's no push and then I forget about it and
but he was smart. And he went to he went to Tina got that done.
So it was a lot of fun actually is quite a nice podcast. He said
thank you to Adam for being on the podcast. It made me realize
that I need to pony up since I've been listening since about
episode 100. I was introduced to the show back in the day by my
college professors Schloss, Shawn Lake and started my own
show in 2015 and later a PR agency that only books podcasts,
command your brand. Podcasting has become my life and I owe it
all to you guys. I have a book coming out on June 21 called
unremarkable, unremarkable to extraordinary where I discuss
the principles I've learned from people like the former CIA
director, Hall of Fame athletes for time Indy 500 champ and even
talk about you guys the value for value model and podcasting
2.0 If you could just give a shout out at get extra Nora
extraordinary book.com Get extraordinary book.com And he
wants to call out Sean lake as a douchebag oops. Since it's been
a long time that he's heard him donate thanks for all you do. No
jingles no karma. Cheers. Jeremy Ryan slate and I think that this
doesn't mention specifically but I think this brings him to
knighthood it should let me just double check. Yes, he becomes
sir Jeremy slate today. So thank you very much. And top Exec.
Good work.
Thing. Drew Watkins is next on the list from Waterford,
Pennsylvania. And he came comes in with Drewery 3429. I've been
listening since Adams first appearance on Rogen and have
been enjoying the content rent free for two years now. Since
the next show Day April 21. falls on my 29th birthday
decided it was time to pay up and receive my deed douching
we've got that for you. Where's my de Lucia

over the past few years I've lived Arizona and made several
cross country trips before we settling in western Pennsylvania
to be near family. It's been fascinating to see the
differences from state to state when I travel. The number of
people living in fear shocks me, but I have also found solace in
just about just in just how many people have kept their amygdalas
in check and are recognizing the cracks in the narratives. We are
being told Northern Indiana deserves a special shout out are
having their heads on straight okay, it's no wonder there are
so many producers and meetups there. I want you to give this
special in the morning to all the producers who have gone
about gone above and beyond to provide meaningful analysis in
their notes analysis I have heard from the supply chain

sell some seeds to to the head in Monsanto. I'm finally working
as a product leader in the startup world. I'm asking for a
big dose of the fancy new Yellin jobs karma as they seek to
escape the wokeness that has infected so much of the tech
sector and find a hybrid position in the Cleveland or
Pittsburgh area. Okay. All right. Like
so I could not find I want to sell some seeds. It's something
that I'm not familiar with. But I chose something appropriate
from from the seed man we've got already.
You've got
Joe jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, karma.
I like that yellow karma.
Yeah, it's gotta jazzy,
especially since the moves that the Federal Reserve certainly
going to make. Not the Treasury but will be to raise the
unemployment. Is that the whole idea of if you raise the rates
then the unemployment goes up as well.
You're asking me Yeah, I was. You don't know. I don't know
what they're doing.

I'm working towards my official credentials as a historian with
a degree in US history with a minor in Religion. So this which
is interesting. So this scholarly try one of my history
professors a cowboy. He said you want to understand American
history. You can't understand it at all, if you don't read the
Bible from cover to cover. No, that's probably now as a famous
historian named with Winthrop Jordan. Through this scholarly
training, I hope to add valuable content in the future. I can say
with standing that the quality of the education of our children
is lacking. Especially with regards to history and civics is
basic questions to members of my staff regularly and they have no
idea what I'm asking. Many are currently in college and it just
it's just heartbreaking. Again, thank you both for all the no
agenda and all for the no agenda community at jingles like karma
70 threes, oh, he's also a ham from G five P S, G five P D us
7370 threes
kilo five alpha, Charlie Charlie, I did want to say about
the education someone sent me a worksheet from I think it's
third graders in the Netherlands. And, and it's a
screenshot and it's in the top left hand corner and put in the
show notes. This little logo of the World Wildlife Fund with
their you know their Panda, and it's in the school books. So
this is sponsored by the World Wildlife Fund. Or that was put
in there by them. I'm not quite sure what the what the
relationship is other than the this was a worksheet and you
have two assignments on this worksheet. One is to color all
of the bugs that are shown on the page that outlines of bugs
color their legs and wings red, and then draw a sandwich with
the insect you would like to eat. And it literally says
printed on this page, insect and lacquer which is translates to
insects scrumptious for third graders.
Oh my god, a sick isn't it? It's bordering on the sick. This is
the reptilians that are run in a place. They want us to they want
us to go they want. They don't it's not so noticeable when
they're
when they're hurt. Thank you very much to these executive and
associate.
You gotta get what but but we gotta give Joshua's karma. Got
it?

You've got karma.

And you guys do it. And we've been doing it for a long time.
And we like it. We like doing it with you. So please continue
that if you've never been an executive producer or an
Associate Executive Producer. maybe now's the time to think
about it while while the collapse is not here yet. So do
a quick
vote.org/and
A and thank you again for supporting episode 1444 of the
no agenda show. We'll be thinking more producers remember
these trends. It's our real formula is this. We go out. We
hit people in the mouth screw your freedom shot at us Yes,
sir.
Well, we've got some, I wanted some, some Ukrainian stuff.
Yes, I have some Ukrainian stuff to do to inverse, I
want to read it got this. I got the debrief today. This is the
newsletter I give by defense one.
We have talked a little more into the mic, John, you're
really turning away.
I gotta move the mic, actually, cuz I can't read this at the
same time. This is a debrief from defense when they talk
about, I guess they're pushing for another, we talked about the
800 million additional tears, it also pushes the total US
military aid to give over the $4 billion mark since Biden took
office and more than 3.4 billion since the invasion began. It
looks as though the next batch of aid or require some
congressional approval. We're just throwing money at these
guys.
This is what I heard was there's enough so we and these are
packages, remember packages. We had an $800 million package. And
now there's another $800 million package coming.
And 3.4 billion could be this is the set. This is the one that
includes the 70 to 155 millimeter howitzers, which
we're told are just marine surplus 144,000 artillery
rounds, because you know, they're not shooting in these
rounds into Russia. These are rounds that are being shot into
Ukraine to further wreck the place.
Yeah. But is that really true, John? I'm not even when I I've
been hooked. No, I
mean, they could be selling them. That's what I would.
Here's what I'm thinking. Because the thing that irritates
me is package they keep talking about package. What if the
packages don't actually get unpacked in Ukraine? You know,
this whole thing could be a weapons smuggling operation to
overthrow some or take charge of some country in Africa. Yeah, I
would. I would not surprise me. This is this is weird come out
in the water. Yeah, this is very weird, this packages of weapons.
Now, there's one little thing in this report that really got my
attention, because there's something screwy about it and
it's not being explained by the mainstream. Related reading. It
says that this is a quote, Russia says it controls Mara,
Mario, Laura Hoopoe, but Ukrainian troops hold out in a
steel plant via the Wall Street Journal reporting. And Putin
claims Mariupol claims that Mario will win but won't storm
the Ukrainian hold out. And that's what the Associated Press
says. And this is update, Russia is playing to pray through
Mariupol for a Victory Day on May 9, after making grinding
progress against the remaining Ukrainian defenders. In Mara you
pools as off stole steal works now. So the guys that the last
of the brigades of the Ukrainian Nazi regime, or whatever it is,
these soldiers, they know enough that this steel works is so
important to the Russians, that they can go in there and hold up
because normally you'd think all these guys are at they're all
here. Let's just flatten the place. Yeah. Wouldn't you do
that? Sure. But they refuse to do that. So there's something up
with this steel plant. I would like some mainstream or somebody
that does reporting somebody that might be over there. Tell
me what the hell's going on here with this steel plant, and why
the Russians can't get these guys out of there. And why don't
they just flatten it?
Well, the guy that would have been able to answer that for you
has gone missing. Have you ever seen Gonzalo Lyra and his his
update? They
do azimoff Whatever the name of this group is as they cancel him
and killed him.
We're not sure but I have a report on him.
Now a Chilean American journalist who's been covering
the conflict from inside Ukraine has reportedly gone missing in
the city of hark of fellow reporters now fear for his life
saying Gonzalo lira has been out of contact since last Friday.
Meanwhile, one of Ukraine's nationalist leaders has posted a
series of tweets in his private account mockingly claiming the
journalist might have been abducted and killed by quote,
some guy with the callsign chili. GONZALO lira is 54 years
old and has been living in Ukraine for the past few years.
He was in Kyiv when the conflict erupted in February and then
traveled to Hong Kong to cover the fighting then, he has
repeatedly called criticize the Ukrainian government and armed
forces for their actions. At the end of March he tweeted that the
that he called The Truth About Zelinsky regime adding he might
disappear as it as did other critics of Kyiv. Some of whom
were later found dead.
Yeah, so we don't know exactly.
Yes, no reporting is because they Yeah, they didn't like the
guy. They didn't like him. Well, yeah. Reporter does his job.
This is a risk you take?
Yeah. I don't know if he was a real reporter. He was doing real
reporting. But he was not not paid by any anybody as far as I
didn't know what he did, actually. Or does hope he's
okay. Sucks.
He's not okay.
Yeah, so do you. I have some Ukraine stuff. What are you
leading into something here? You got something
I just did. I just wanted to start with this. Because there's
these mysteries that are starting to crop up. You pointed
out one of them. where's the where's the stuff going? Yeah,
they've asked two or three people and they say why we can't
say it's national security.
What No, actually, it's worse than that. I have a quote here.
We have a this is who was this? Someone from the Defense
Department. We have fidelity and tracking the weapons packages,
we have fidelity for a short time, but when it enters the fog
of war, we have almost zero the weapons often fall into a quote
big black hole.
Uh huh. Yeah, I don't see how you
can barcode RFID tags on him that might help. I just don't
see any evidence of them being used in any warfare. All we see
is well here's what Russia did. Here's what Russia did Russia
destroy this Russia? Yeah, we need more. We need more. We need
more to do. I never see him firing. I never see any. I just
never seen it. Well, here's
the Ukraine renewed, renewed supplies report.
A senior defense official says 18 howitzers the US promised
Ukraine are now arriving in Eastern Europe is NPR is Greg
Myrie reports. The massive artillery guns are seen as
critical for looming bowels in eastern Ukraine.
We should probably put QR codes on this Howard sir. So we could
imagine a house with a QR code. A man would track this down the
supply chain us flights
carrying some of the howitzers arrive Tuesday in an unspecified
country near Ukraine. The US official said adding that more
we're on the way. The US has already training Ukrainians in a
nearby country on how to use the 155 millimeter artillery guns.
Ukraine says it desperately needs such heavy weaponry. And
Russia is moving more of its own artillery into eastern Ukraine,
where ongoing fighting is expected to escalate. The US
official said quote, artillery is going to be critical in this
fight. Also, the US has provided spare aircraft parts that have
allowed Ukraine to repair and return to service more than 20
of its own war planes in the past three weeks.
or so. We're sending over howitzers. And you know, that's
been it's been making, we're making a big deal out of the
packages, the weapons packages, but then you get this from
Russia.
Meanwhile, Vladimir Putin is showing off the latest addition
to his nuclear arsenal test launching a new intercontinental
ballistic missile. He said it's, quote The food for thought for
those who threaten Russia, why don't
we send over some ICBMs to the Ukrainians let them like that
shit off? Let's see how that goes.
We'll want to do that.
During the Oscars, was the Oscars. No, the Grammy Awards
I'm sorry. The President of Ukraine did a little little
speech little thing on video. And he promoted and throughout
the entire show was the stand up for Ukraine stand up for Ukraine
remember this
standard? It was it was an embarrassment? Well, it's it's
gotten a little what's more interesting actually stand up
for Ukraine is a is a campaign from Global Citizen, global
citizen.org These are the people who do the big kumbaya concert
in Central Park this broadcast live and mainly Disney related
or ABC, even sometimes CBS, MSM maybe it's it's just all
mainstream. If you look at the partners of global citizen, I'll
just go to the page read you a couple of the names. We have
core partners, Procter and Gamble, Cisco Verizon Delta,
Live Nation, Accenture, Citibank, Google Salesforce,
Coca Cola weightwatchers worldwide technology Hilton
Hotels worldwide, Coca Cola, it goes on and on. So this is a
global globalist operation global citizens. Yeah, its
usual suspects the same kind of issue sponsors you see on the
Olympics.
Laureen Lauren Powell Jobs is a big supporter. She gives them a
lot of money. And on April 8, which was recent Hundreds of
1000s of global citizens came together to stand up for Ukraine
resulting in billions of dollars pledged for refugees. Now, we
must act to help prevent the global food crisis that is
coming because of this conflict. We just repeat that. Now we must
act to help prevent the global food crisis that is coming
because of this conflict. And this is in the context of stand
up for Ukraine. So I'm not sure if they wanted to raise money
for Ukraine or for everybody else who's going to be hungry.
They do have an impact report. And the top line is the global
social media rally brought this is their campaign brought
together hundreds of 1000s of global citizens, including
artists, athletes, actors and creators to stand up for
Ukraine. Their voices and actions helped make sure that
billions of dollars were committed during a pledge summit
to help refugees from Ukraine around the world. Well, this
summit was run by the European Union. In fact, by the President
of the EU, Starfleet Command herself Ursula von der Leyen.
Here she is, as if she's hosting a game show
final tally. I think you are no boss. No, you are the boss. The
president. I'm definitely not the president. I might suppose
to. Okay, let me have a look at the figures. I see. So whoa,
whoa. We have finally, the world has finally pledged 9.1 billion
euros through this campaign. In addition, hold on. In addition,
the Commission working with EBRD adds another billion for the
IDPs in Ukraine. This is fantastic. So 10.1 euros and if
you say that in dollars, it's even more
Slyke slam at the US. So they raised a total of what says
you're 9.1 billion euros the global campaign has raised 9.1
billion euros for people fleeing the Russian invasion inside
Ukraine and abroad. What I can't find is how they will give this
money out.
I just can't find it will never find it.
And what is the point other than a kumbaya let's all feel good
about what we're doing for Ukraine. where's the money
going? I thought I thought it was for food for the coming food
crisis. So this is this is a global scale. Something's going
on here. That's reasonable scale.
Reason gets monies anyway okay. This is this is people are
scroungers at the highest level that we could only
dream about. It's a good point there. scroungers.
scroungers has massive scroungers. Well, there's
another
another soon to be nonprofit has not yet registered as a 501. C
three, the ter asymmetric projects. If you've heard of
this is quite a quite the operation. The terror asymmetric
asymmetric project is in fact, run by Malcom Nance. Former
former MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance always has a big mouth
he's, he's always complaining about is the the former CIA FBI
LMNOP guy.
Yeah, he's some like that. So my boy you're talking
Yeah. So he, he apparently went to Ukraine to join the fight.
And he appeared on MSNBC what the news reports a he left his
lucrative as lucrative job as a cable as a stringer as a string
or as a stringer for him. He's not even invited in the studio
anymore. As a stringer for MSNBC. And Joy Reid had him on
many of you have seen this. It's funny because it's Malcom Nance
the guy usually sitting at home in his office talking crap about
anything Republican. Now in full combat gear with an AK 47. The
oddly seems to not have a charging handle on it. That's
we're not quite sure what's going on with his weapon. It's
also strung around his neck with a strap not not really military
issue, but it looks the business he's got his he's got his flak
jacket on has big words. Nance. So he's there and he's in the
woods in the dark. And he's and he's talking to joy read and
he's, he's doing something about this job. And joining
me now from a secure location in western Ukraine is your location
taking a director care isometrics project he's fighting
with the International legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine
and Malcolm, we just watched that video of you and Ally ruzi
was attempting to interview you for us to get more information
on what you're doing. We saw those cruise missiles fly
overhead. So explain to us why you are there and what you're
doing
well as you You know, I spent quite a bit of time here in the
pre war period. And when the invasion happened, I had friends
who were in Donetsk, who were in the Ukrainian army, who were
writing to us and telling us, we're not going to survive
tonight, we've been hit 500 times. You know, these are
graduates that Defense Language Institute, these are my friends.
And, you know, as the more I saw of the war going on, the more I
thought, I'm done talking. All right, it's time to take action
here. So, about a month ago, I joined the international Legion
here in Ukraine, and I am here to help this country fight, you
know, what, essentially is a war of its extermination. This is an
existential war. And Russia has bought it to these people, and
they are mass murdering civilians. And now
before you continue, I just wanted to mention because it's
kind of odd that he says, You know, I was here pre war. What
are you doing in Ukraine? Were you on vacation? No, I had
friends there. Were his friends. I'm gonna tell you, his friends
were at the Defense League Institute. He did that just
glossed over that is the United States Department of Defense
educational and research institution, okay, spooks,
spokes, his his BIOS by a great continue. Malcom Nance born in
60 ones is 60. So he's 61 Actually go will be 61 in
September. So he's old for us, you know, foot soldier, but he's
an American author and media pundit on topics related to
terrorism, intelligence, insurgency and foreign affairs.
He's a former United States Navy, Senior Chief Petty
Officer.
Does that mean he manages the pencils guy? He manages pencils.
He's, well, he's a Navy guy. Now he's a puppet. We could be a
pencil pusher or paper pusher specializing in naval
cryptology. Which is that a specialty Okay. Nancy is an
intelligence and Foreign Service analyst who are foreign policy
analysts who frequently discusses the history
personalities and organization of jihadi radicalization and al
Qaeda. And the Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, South West
Asian and this guy, you know, we always like to spot the spook.
This guy seems like a phony, like a phony spook. Yeah, a
phony, a LARPer. He's
a LARP spook.
He could be a LARPer. He's a wrote a bunch of books that
maybe he wrote maybe didn't, as we've talked about before, in
2014, he found this when he founded became the Executive
Director of the terror assess symmetric project on strategy
tactics and radical ideology, which
is basically a one page website with the Pay Pal donate link.
Yeah. And so then he's now in his shows in his background,
military career, United States Navy. And then he supposedly
joined he's in a member. He's a member of the terrorist defense
forces in Ukraine. Yes, this is this is a screwball story.
Well, I think that the guy is sad. I don't even he sadly, he
may actually believe he's making some kind of difference. But he
got I think it was kind of pushed out of MSNBC. They didn't
they were not having him on. And so now he decides he's got the
terror, terror isometrics project, which is, I guess, to
fundraise for himself. And he's got a little office over there.
And Ukraine. I mean, I saw the whole piece, he's got a little
office, he's got gear, and he's got his he's looking impressive
doing stuff on the laptop. He's doing something about the
situation, John, weapons packages are not enough, you can
send three point a half billion dollars worth of weapons to
Ukraine. Without Malcom Nance, nothing will go right
fight. You know, what essentially, is a war of its own
extermination. This is an existential war. And Russia has
bought it to these people. And they are mass murdering
civilians. And there are people here like me, who are here to do
something about it. And we
have some video here. This is some some video that was shot by
Ali's team, of yourself with some supplies and the things
that you are working on while you're there. We know they're
about 20,000 people from 52 countries that are currently in
Ukraine, and have been there from the start of the war. What
are international troops like yourself? What are you all
tasked to do?
Well, we are here for one purpose and one purpose only,
and that is to protect the innocent people of Ukraine, from
this from this Russian aggression. And you know, it's
not a conventional war choice. Even though you have two armed
forces going head to head here. What you have is you have
another group, I won't even refer to the Russians as an
army, just using mass heavy weapons that are used in combat
against civilians.
Now, this is where I think he misspoke. He says you have two
sides, Ukraine and Russia. Then you have another group, who are
just murdering civilians? is he referring to the AES off
battalion? Oh, funny, I think he misspeaks Here. Let's check it.
What are you all tasked to do?
Well, we are here for one purpose and one purpose only.
And that is to protect the innocent people of Ukraine, from
this from this Russian aggression. And you know, it's
not a conventional war choice. Even though you have two armed
forces going head to head here, what you have is you have
another group, I won't even refer to the Russians as an
army, just using mass heavy weapons that are used in combat
against civilians. They are destroying infrastructure, and
then you find that they go to the cities, and they massacre
men, women and children. They just
went on from there. But the best part was, and they she talked
about it just before that they showed him being interviewed,
which looks like it would be a Ukrainian city. It's actually at
the city's bustling, you know, everyone in the in the
background, and he's being interviewed. And then suddenly
they realize that there's a, there's something something
going on, are we in an air raid? And as he as was stated, Oh, I
saw the ICBM, and the joy read him and says, we saw the ICBM,
well, I watched the video. They show the sky, but you'd never
see the ICBM, there's no little circle. Look, here it is. I did
it frame by frame. You can't see it. not denying that it was
there. But this piece of him all of a sudden, they're out on the
street. And then it's like, oh, wait a minute. Are we in an air
raid? And then he's jumping up and he becomes Malcolm Malcolm
Nance, like war of Warcraft, you know, what is it? What is the
other one call of duty? And he's barking out commands and it's
like he's he's calling out stuff that makes us know that he
really is on top of what's happened in in warfare, cranes.
Unique territory. That going down? No, but I've never seen a
fast mover. Where to go. Yeah, I heard
one. Boom. Are we in an air raid? Yes. Yeah. We are. We had
there Right. So there's another there'll be three.
Standby. We're getting hit. That's a 500 pound bomb. Let's
get the bonding that's coming from the east southeast. So
those are caliber anti ship missiles. They're striking to
the west. Striking to the west that's to at least one more.
That wasn't a plane as cruise missile that was a cruise
missile. Yeah. Wait for one more. They're fired and 30
secondary they farm and 32nd intervals. Smoke that we got
standby. Three cruise missile caliber standby.
gotta see this. Smoke cruise missile caliber standby. It's
just pointing at an empty sky with the city just going on
before him everything's fine. It's really really odd that this
is taken seriously actually, I want to I want to enhance his
little thing a little bit make him sound a little more
efficient smoke
standby. Three cruise missile caliber.
This is dropkick with a red dash alpha message and two farts
Malcolm Nance on the scene ladies and gentlemen. And he's
not the only person who wants to go to Ukraine to fight. I mean,
this is this is now rampant within our establishment should
you know sorry. You have have mo explained to you what a shuck
and jive artist is and use it in terms of this guy. Now, I also
think you might be seeing some people joining up because there
there is a blast opportunity to do a throwback to the Spanish
Civil War, the Spanish revolution to one that the way
they fought were the good guys fought the Nazis in Spain. Yeah.
And maybe it's
without your without doubt, the International Ukrainian forces
or whatever they call it, Israel. There's there's
Americans going there's a lot of people who are just jacked up
about they love going over and the jacked up about fighting
like, oh, cool, man, I'm gonna go fight and go kill somebody.
And I will point out, you remember when Joe Biden was
talking to the 82nd airborne, saying, you know, by this time
tomorrow, you'll see the people in the streets of Ukraine. And
everyone laughed at him because they were going to Poland. I
have very reliable information. The 82nd airborne is in Ukraine.
Or at least members of them are in Ukraine. And they are
advising
I'm sure they are I'm sure there's somebody there just
gotta be mad. I didn't know what the point of this keeping this
thing going is it's a good price hike price. I was just gonna say
that same thing we got to keep this makes it will take this
right to the midterm elections and blame everything on Putin
because they they got Trump out of office using this trick. So
let's see how stupid the American public is. Do you think
they'll maybe they'll buy into the Putin price hike? Good Jen.
Saki says it. Biden says that they use this term Putin price
hike.
Let's go to Maxine Waters, another potential shuck and jive
artists
should President Biden and heed the request of President
Solinsky of Ukraine and go to your go to Ukraine?
Well, let me just tell you that this President has been awfully
responsible of for making sure that we get weapons and
equipment. And just recently, I think another 800 billion in
equipment going to Ukraine. We're all working as hard as we
possibly can. I believe with all of the intelligence that we
have, if Putin knew that Biden was coming, he would try to have
him killed. So we have to be very careful about that. We want
our president to be safe, as we do the work that we can do to
help out in every way that we can, which
is about Biden coming over Ukraine.
So if not President Biden, which American official do you think
should go to Ukraine to see with their own eyes?
What's happening there?
I do believe that should volunteer if they want to go and
make that trip. But I don't think that we should absolutely
try and assign our force any of their elected officials to go.
But I think that many of us will perhaps volunteer to go. And
those are the ones that should go wait. There. Those of us who
would volunteer to go would you go? Are you volunteering, of
course. Oh, absolutely.
Oh, yeah.
I want to see Malcolm Nance and Maxine Waters in in camo
horses and going, Oh, she'll go say, well, she's foolish.
She'll go over there. Sugar over there. I believe that put
five bucks on it. Yeah,
I'll take your five. Okay, I'm gonna be careful by the time we
find out next week, that may only be worth four.
That's, yeah, the Putin inflation.
So this is yes. I mean, I think we've kind of seen it now. We
have no idea what the truth is. Everybody's lying. But all that
we're getting is Putin price hike. And of course, they're now
up to 5 million refugees. They say I don't know. We just don't
know there is no reporting that is that we can really trust
other than the migrant situation in Europe is not going to
improve with with five 5 million streaming in and it's not just
going to stay in Poland Of course. It's did you see in
Sweden, Sweden's imploding again their their riots and they're
doing the whole blown up burning cars on the streets Sweden.
But who is the people that are doing it? Who's these? are the
these are
the previous migrants? The muscle is the muscle in your
back
and what they're getting ignored or something and so they're
trying to get attention again,
I'm not sure but it's it's not turn. It's It's messy. In
Sweden, which is just so weird. It is land of Abba, land of rock
set.
I got this last Ukraine clip which is the Lenski first he's
bragging even though he needs more stuff and then now it
sounds like they're gonna go on the offensive.
Because Alinsky says the way our armed forces are holding up
shows the Ukrainian army deserve to be ranked higher than the
Russian army. And we hear this kind of optimism everywhere in
Ukraine, a spokesman for the military governor here in
Odessa, who asked to be identified only by his first
name Eugene, told NPR that Ukraine might actually go on the
offensive in the coming days
without a package or help
that much with our package with the big package our package,
they go on the offensive take our package.
So Ukraine, we really just don't know. Other than Putin's price
hike, and we'll see what's next to cover up the the horrible
state of inflation and financial systems that just don't seem to
be functioning very well.
Now I have no more Ukraine, stuff like that. They can go
different directions, but I wanted to take a break and due
to NPR clips that are just to me.
They Fun, fun to listen to.
Why No, no. One of them is okay. One of them is I never thought
I'd ever see it either. Now, I think that I probably have seen
it and I missed it. Which is a native ad on NPR on NPR, which
added and giveaway to as a native ad besides its content
for Taco bail is very creative, very creatively done. But it's
curious. And I have it timed out I have the clips Exactly. Two
minutes not the 145 not one than
two that's always the that's always the giveaway is the
timing. That so a native ad let's just explain a native ad
would be it's it's couched as content as a story. There's
probably no disclaimer at the beginning or end that this is
paid for. advertisement, which of course we can't really prove
but it's also not in the charter of NPR to take this type of
advertising. They're supposed to have underwriting
or advertising or whatever you want to call it. Fans of
Taco Bell's Mexican pizza received good news this week.
The food chain is bringing back the beloved menu item
you have the two like fried tortillas that are like kind of
glued together with the beans with a me whatever you want to
do.
Oh my goodness, what is she does she work for NPR? She worked for
good. She worked for Taco Bell
that's coming. Actually she's brought in she's a the outside
she's a source that she they use they introduce her is she a food
specialist in a backhand as
well. She's really horrible fans of
Taco Bell's Mexican pizza received good news this week.
The food chain is bringing back the beloved menu item
you have the two like fried tortillas that are like kind of
glued together with the beans or the me whatever you want to do.
That's comedian and writer Rima Pareek, who wrote an essay
professing her love for the Mexican pizza.
The top there's like the cheese, there's the tomatoes, they used
to have green onions, they don't have those anymore.
Of course, there's no such thing and true Mexican cuisine, but
Taco Bell's creation has developed a strong following,
especially among South Asian Americans. The disappointment
ran deep when it was pulled from the menu about a year and a half
ago, Taco Bell said it wanted to make way for new menu items. But
Pareek was lost without her go to that she'd even customized I
would just swap out the meat with beans and then a little bit
later on. I started adding potatoes and nacho cheese sauce.
That ability to customize the Mexican pizza is part of what
made it popular among South Asian Americans.
people's parents moved here in the 80s in the 90s they didn't
have like a lot of you know options for like fast food
especially if like they ate vegetarian which you know, you
could do for a variety of reasons like you don't eat B for
like you're trying to eat Hello, so
you know if you're vegetarian for a number of reasons like you
might not want to eat big meat because you're like if I just
carry on or you won't eat Hello, lady thank you for explaining
what vegetarian means I
moved here in the 80s in the 90s they didn't have like a lot of
you know options for like fast food especially if like they ate
vegetarian which you know, you could do for a variety of
reasons like you don't eat B for like you're trying to eat Hello,
so Taco Bell where you could swap the beef for beans became
the place to go.
Chris jugador who got hooked on the Mexican pizza as a kid says
the spicy flavors also appealed to Indian Americans. So
I think in a lot of ways it's kind of like as close as they
can get to like Indian fast food while still being you know,
obviously part of American culture when Taco
Bell removed the Mexican pizza from the menu jugador started a
change.org petition to bring it back. He says it spread like
wildfire. I'm talking
about like old Indian uncles and aunties like that are like
sharing it in their groups.
He got more than 170,000 signatures. And last week to
Jaguars surprise, Taco Bell got in touch to thank him for
stoking the movement and to tell him that the Mexican pizza hits
menus again on May 19. Both he and Pareek have the day marked
on their calendars.
Oh and an outro music to make it perfect.
So two minutes exactly. Yeah. You what you heard it says
probably should say two minutes on your little run does exactly
it. Which is always a sign that it's a native ad because they
can't because he's advertising guys. Oh, only think in these
terms that minute, two minutes by minutes. This was the most
pathetic thing I've ever heard on NPR. It was a it was a
blatant promotion for some who knows what this product is? I've
never even heard of it. The Mexican pizza. I think there's
two two, you know, tortillas to hard tortillas, which is really
necessary. First Data is pushed together. Okay, now the other
hand PR so that's my complaint there.
A second. I just want to understand who's is it possible
that this remap? Parekh the comedian, that she has the
sponsorship deal. I'm just trying to figure out where the
money is and where it's
going away. Now, they made she may be related somehow, maybe as
the Taco Bell people that they had her on the hook, that she
may be getting paid by them and you know, the advertising
agencies, you know, we're working with this comic. She's
got a lot of good things to say about it. Can you bring her in?
And she comes in blathering like a maniac. Like you pointed out
right away that she's not even He doesn't even fit into the NPR
schema let alone you know, make any sense. But I think that
every advertising agency package this,
and he's Do we even know if she's funny? I never heard of
her. Is she Mexican?
I don't know that. You're asking crazy questions. So
what do you bring this now? She's not Mexican. She's She was
even talking about. She's Indian.
Or maybe Pakistani. This was a promotion to the Indian
audience.
So to Yeah.
Wow, that move, I thought. Kudos to Taco Bell.
Oh, wait a minute. Currently, she's a headline contributor at
the onion. Is this whole thing an onion joke?
Oh, he's not I would be okay with that. No. Wow. NPR using
it? Well, it makes it funnier. Is that in
fact, against the rules for NPR to do this?
With the native ad or the native ad, the native ad? I don't think
so. Not anymore. I think those rules. I don't care. I don't
care. All right. Now here's the other one. This one it just
bugged me. It's a short 32 second bit, which is more or
less in line with what they do. That was that's a non sequitur.
They bring up a topic at the beginning. And they never
addressed the it's like, well, I thought you know, the thing is,
I really like I like this is something you bring something
and then you never talk about it again. at play. This is the dog
clip. This is the sorry, this is npr non-secular dogs.
There's a saying you can't teach an old dog new tricks, but a
long lived Florida Chihuahua may be the exception to that rule.
According to the Guinness World Records, the tiny Chihuahua
named Toby Keith has made it into the record books as the
world's oldest living dog. The seven pound pooch making it to
the ripe old age of 21, which in dog years is very old. Canine
Toby Keith's owner, Giselle ashore says he was the last pup
of a litter left in a cardboard box in 2001 when she found him
short tributes Toby Keith the chihuahuas Long life to
genetics, a good diet, and lots of love.
So this is this is a story about a dog that that made it made it
2020 years
I had a dog that was 24. So that dogs get older than this dog.
And I'm sure there's older dogs and 21 out there. But so that's
bullcrap. But the premise of the article was, you can't teach an
old dog. You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well, the
exception is this dog. And then they tell us about the dog but
what's the new trick?
Not dying apparently.
I mean, this is the worst piece Oh, no, I amperes done
they they messed up the joke. They should have been it's like
rollover play dead you know, that's one of the that's they
should have worked that in there somehow. They're struggling from
material
when they say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks and
we've got a dog that you that they taught it on old dog.
What's the new trick? They never bring a trick into it the new
chili This is the worst clip I've ever collected.
The new trick is to interrupt podcast by telling one of the
hosts and dogs gotta go potty.
I'm gonna show my spoon by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun
to do with my dog, yeah. So we have a few people to thank for

Oh, this is very important because Saturday my father is
being interned in Armonk, New York. He's been living in my
sister's closet and in a box for about three years he passed away
in 2019. This has turned into a sword not just sort of a mini
curry family reunion. And my sisters are coming in Tiffany

and children, Christina is flying in. So we're all we're
all going with it, we're actually going to be in a huge
Airbnb all like 15 of us or something. And so there's all
kinds of things now, I have not been part of the organizing
committee of this weekend event. I am usually on the paying
committee who's going to help pay for this. So that's, that's
that's where I'm at. But because of this, there is a lunch this
will be this is actually the big the big get together on Sunday,
which starts at 11. And I think ends at one or something. So we
used to do this from time to time, I do not want to forego a
show because we just had to best stuff. So I'm doing the show.
I'm taking the studio, I'm taking the gear, I'm going to
I'm going to get up at the crack and haunt to produce, but I
would request that we start Sunday show a couple hours
later. If that's okay.
Well, it's okay with me.
That's the most important thing I needed to hear.
Honestly, is it okay I was
as a courtesy I was offering the producers a say in this but I
mean, I have to be at this I have to be
actually start the show instead of my time. 911 Yeah, that's the
go and chill 6789 o'clock at night.
Probably the Navy will probably go into Monday the way it was.

planned for Sunday that I can think of that would be good.
I appreciate that. Appreciate spawn this. And NC Yes, Darren

it and I can contribute my one hour of content for his show.
Oh there you gotta get in touch with Darren. It'll be it'll be
great. So there will be some kind of live extravaganza as we
delay the start of episode 1445. And again, thank you producers

hold on
I can't understand a word he says haha, Let's go baby. Oh,

fake feud between the two of you fake feud. And I said I said
this is nuts. I'm just trying to straighten things out between

a this is news. I thought it was your only friend Hello. Any hung

doesn't mind trying to stop this from continuing because I don't
like to see people upset like this.
Well, it's going to take a little bit more work. I mean,
you started this so you're gonna it's totally Yes, you did.
No, he's the one who brought it up.
I'm not so sure. Remember, it's D H M plug not HD unplugged. So
you're clearly leading the pack. It's okay, John.
But the reason you do this d h is just this is just for formal
reasons. HD may sell a high definition and talk about audio
or something on this
issue. I would like to finish with just a few clips about the
Disney situation in Florida.
I have a I have an interest in click of Santos de Santos
actually.
De Santos DeSantis not de Santos.
Do you think I'll ever get it right? No, no, probably not. I
have it spelled right on here. A Santos on district. Yeah, this
is him talking.
Which he does a lot because many
of you know the Florida Legislature is meeting this week
to consider the congressional reapportionment plan for Florida
for the next 10 years. And that is what they've been called upon
to do. But I am announcing today that we are expanding the call
of what they are going to be considering this week. And so
yes, they will be considering the congressional map. But they
also will be considering termination of all special
districts that were enacted in Florida prior to 1968. And that
includes the Reedy Creek improvement district
want to thank Speaker Sprouse and Senator Simpson for not only
working obviously for the reapportionment, but for
stepping up and making sure that we make the sunset determination
on those special districts happen, which I think is very
important.
So we touched on this on the last episode, and I have a nice
clip here from Florida State Representative Spencer, what's
this guy's name? What is this guy's he Spencer roach. And he
explains this, though, as you just heard the governor of
Florida talking about since 1968. There were some special
rules for Disney. And this is a good explanation. Well, Disney
has and has had for almost 60 years a very special
relationship with Florida. They have what I refer to as Florida
68 County, it's about 43 square miles. It's called the Reedy
Creek improvement district. And they essentially are there they
are their own government. They're exempt from all county
regulation and most state regulations. Legally under the
law, Disney could build a nuclear power plant there and we
couldn't do a darn thing about it. And look my objection to
this. You know, I know it seems retaliatory but I would describe
it more as opportunistic Disney's weakened politically we
should go after this. But but my principal objection to this as a
conservative free market here. It's anti free market. I mean,
you have all these other things in parks in Florida, you have
Universal Studios, SeaWorld Legoland Busch Gardens. And here
the district that I represent, you have a theme park. It's the
largest single site employer in my district. It's called the
shell factory. They'd love to have their own government there.
But they don't have that. Why should Disney get this special
privilege? And no one else should have that. I think it's
just an aberration of the free market. And let me tell you what
else Disney is doing. So they're expanding out of their
traditional role of sort of theme park amusement, they're
now building a $400 million movie studio, they're they're
building a fourth Disney hotel, they're building a $300 million
office space. And they don't have to apply with any of the
regulatory burdens that any other realtor business developer
or builder would have to comply to. They have an enormous
advantage over the rest of the market. It's unfair, it's anti
free market, it's anti economic liberty, it's wrong.
Why now, why not decades ago?
Well, here's the thing. This is this. To me, if I was a Disney
shareholder, I would immediately ask for the resignation of the
CEO,
because he kicked this crap off didn't he was really kicked this
process been
going on smoothly. Disney was essentially in Orlando area, a
city state that could do whatever it wanted. And they
could do all kinds of cool things. And we would it was a
good deal for the company almost
like it's almost like an Indian, Native American reservation,
pretty much. And because they decided to start meddling in
Florida politics with their woke ideas. A day, all they did was
draw attention to themselves. And somebody in the Republican
side said, Look, what's whoa, wait a minute, why don't we
really consider what this whole situation with Disney is? And
then they took a look at this, you can download the Reedy Creek
development documents and it is really interesting, you it's
something that I was gonna send to you because I know you'd like
to read it. But I do, but you forgot. No, I was last night and
so you don't need that aggravation. So but the point
is, is that they drew attention to it solely by by meddling when
they shouldn't have been meddling, they should just shut
up. But no, no, no, it's all stakeholders. Now, you had
stakeholder stakeholder? Oh, we have to we have to meddle
because it's their job to meddle with something we don't like or
medley. So we want kids kindergarteners to be taught
about gender. Okay. If I was a shareholder, I would demand they
head of the CEO of Disney he is behind all thing. Get rid of
him. Yeah, this
one this one pretty far. So besides the so called Don't say
gay bill. Actually, I have a this is an NBC News report.
Listen to so that there are a few people in the Florida State
legislature who went against this, of course, because they
are all in on. I don't know, Disney having that kind of
power. But But when when and I think these are Democrats when
they lose control. They always go back to the same stuff.
Tonight, Florida's new fight against the house that Nikki
Bill. Thanks Lourdes Senate approving legislation to
eliminate Disney's self governing authority and tax
breaks 23 days, 16 days Democrats unanimously opposed
it. Why are
we putting our knee on the neck of the mouse?
So they're taking a Black Lives Matter? Knee on the neck and
applying it to to a cartoon character? Why are we putting
our knee on the neck of Mickey Mouse? This is a sick individual
who thinks this way is ridiculous.
It's nothing short of extortion. It's nothing short of extortion.
bullying is bullying.
It's the latest chapter in a confrontation between Disney and
Florida Republicans led by Governor Ron DeSantis, who
pushed for the legislation after Disney called for the repeal of
Florida's parental rights and education law. What critics
dubbed the don't say gay law that bans classroom discussion
on sexual orientation and gender identity for children in
kindergarten
through third grade. This state is governed by the interests of
the people of the state of Florida. It is not based on the
demands of California corporate executives.
There it is he's pointing out that it should be the CEO who
gets roasted what Now do you remember the two hours ago we
were talking I said wait?
That woman that was bitching and moaning these are the same
Democrats that bitch and moan about special tax credits, which
is really oil depletion allowance for the oil companies,
but this huge tax break for Disney's okay. And then we go on
sorry.
I think I mentioned a couple hours ago that I I believe that
many of these been people in politics and in in the body
politic that they really do believe they really believe in
what they're doing and it's righteous As the red whether
it's COVID, whether it's Ukraine, or whether it's this,
and Jen Psaki spokes hole for the for the Biden
administration. I think this was a podcast. And, and so it's
parental rights bill with the parents, the voters who would
presume his parents said, you know, we just don't want this
stuff discussed, from kindergarten up to third grade.
And that's it. And that was immediately dubbed that don't
say gay bill, and it blew up, and we've got to him. We're
abusing children all over the place to promote this. And I
think Jen Psaki really believes in it, this clip of her being
super upset, and getting everything wrong, because I've
read I've read the parental rights bill is really nothing in
there that is crazy out of the ordinary. But she takes it this
way. This is
a political wedge issue, and an attempt to win a culture war.
And they're doing that in a way that is harsh and cruel to a
community of kids especially I'm like gonna get I'm gonna get
emotional about this issue because I just, it's horrible,
but But you know, it's like kids who are bullied and like, all
these leaders are guard taking steps to hurt them and hurt
their lives and hurt their families. And you look at some
of these laws in the States and it is going after parents who
are in loving relationships who have kids. It's completely
outrageous. Sorry, I am this this is an issue that makes me
completely crazy. But it is an issue that is a political wedge
issue and is not a reflection of where the country is.
She's not a man. She she believes this. That's
unbelievable. She's cool. She's really upset and she goes after
parents in loving relationships. Is she referring to teachers?
Who I don't I don't understand what she's doing. But it was
sad.
I am not going to I don't do this lightly. This clip of the
day
at the very end ladies and gentlemen he comes in with a
winner clip there you go.
something seriously wrong with her.
I think I think she she has issues I think she's on the edge
she wants to get out she's cracking she wants to get she
can't even do the MSNBC gig I think that got screwed up she
knows she can't do that now she'll be so excoriated
managed MSNBC people turned on her it mean of course this had
to hurt her.
Yeah, she's hurt. She's hurt. And she said it makes me crazy.
