What's the problem?
AI sucks.
Adam Currie.
John C.
Dvorak.
It's Thursday, February 20th, 2025.
This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media
Assassination Episode 1740.
This is no agenda.
With a 4% approval rating.
And broadcasting live from the heart of the
textile country here in FEMA Region Number 6.
In the morning, everybody.
I'm Adam Currie.
And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all
saying the same thing.
Bring back the M-Bone.
I'm John C.
Dvorak.
You know, I would give anything to bring
back the M-Bone.
Did you know the Rolling Stones did a
concert over the M-Bone?
Yes, I know.
It was, I think, 1996, I'm gonna say.
Yeah, I remember it.
All 15 people were able to watch it
and enjoy it.
It was actually 50,000, they say.
Yeah, they say.
It was only, the thing was only universities
who had a T1 and Spark stations.
That's the only people who could really see
it.
I want a number of people writing in
about it.
They talked about the 6-Bone, which came
later.
I don't remember the 6-Bone.
It was the M-Bone on IPV6.
Oh, is that when they...
Get it?
Yeah, when IPVTV was going to be the
next best thing.
Well, IPTV is actually what's in play right
now.
Yeah, but they had it.
It was a specific protocol and a whole
thing they had developed that was IPTV, and
they had set-top boxes for IPTV, and
that went nowhere.
Well, what about Internet 2?
Remind me of that.
What was Internet 2?
I forgot.
Internet 2 is going to be the next
big thing, and it was what the universities
decided to move to.
Yeah, now I don't know.
And then everyone says, the universities are using...
It's going to be the whole...
It's going to ruin the regular Internet, because
everyone's going to use Internet 2.
Yes, I do remember that.
Well, of course, many people who are listening
now will not remember WebTV.
They won't remember anything.
We've just lost half the listenership.
Believe it or not, kids, when I was
a kid, you could go to Sam Goody,
and you could pick up a WebTV box,
and it brought up a browser at, I
think it was 2,400-baud speed.
No, it was faster.
Okay, maybe...
That was a 9600-baud era.
9600-baud era, okay.
And then you had a remote control that
you controlled a little pointer with on the
TV.
And it was such an experience, and it
was great.
And Microsoft ended up buying the operation.
Was it Microsoft?
No, you're right.
They bought it, and of course...
And they bought it for next to nothing.
Yeah, well, it wasn't worth it.
It was the last cheap purchase Microsoft made.
It wasn't worth anything, so...
Well, not when Microsoft got...
Okay, well, let's take it to AOL TV.
Remember that one?
I sure do.
Oh, man, we've been through a lot, John.
Yeah, we got a couple of old farts
here talking about the old days.
That's right, baby.
That's right.
I remember my 56K frame relay.
Frame relay.
I had frame relay, man.
Yeah, yeah, you were rocking it.
I had ISDN.
Well, that was the...
ISDN was 64 kilobits, I think, wasn't it?
Yeah, but it was two channels.
Oh, that's right.
So you got 128?
Yeah.
But it was super dedicated, so it was
very...
And it would never dial in.
It would still work to this day.
All TV feeds were over ISDN back in
the day.
I remember that it was really...
If you dialed in an ISDN and it
would disconnect, it would take forever to get
the connection.
But it worked great.
Once you connected it, it did.
Yeah.
So we predict...
Yeah, I remember.
Johnny.
We predict many things on this show.
And you actually predicted something a while back
about the left wanting a Joe Rogan on
the left, and you compared that to the
days of Air America.
When was that?
I was trying to reminisce with Tina.
Was that...
Well, Air America was a...
Once Rush Limbaugh started hitting his stride, all
these clones came up.
Michael Savage and all these guys went on
radio, and they're all right-wingers.
And so Air America came about probably in
the late 90s.
I'd have to...
I can look it up.
I think it's 96.
They came about as the counter-programming to
all the right-wing guys on AM radio.
And did Microsoft wind up buying that for
next to nothing?
No, they didn't.
I'm surprised.
Well, I took your prediction, made it my
own, took full credit for it, of course,
and mentioned this to Joe on my recent
appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.
What I think we'll see, the first thing
after the election is, we need a Joe
Rogan on the left.
We need a Joe Rogan.
Well, guys, you basically had a Joe Rogan
on the left, but you were so crazy
that Joe started to think right.
They didn't want me.
That was the thing.
They didn't want you?
But that's all the PSYOP working against them.
Because in the past, they could take someone
like me and demonize them and it would
be effective.
And they could just remove you from the
airwaves and then remove you as a problem
because you're not playing by the rules.
But now people go, oh, you know what?
I think he's the one who's actually telling
the truth.
Let's stop listening to them.
And so then CNN crashes and then faith
in mainstream media crashes and faith in podcasts
rises.
I think what we'll see though is, and
it may come from YouTube, we'll probably see
them try to hype someone up to become
the Joe Rogan of the left.
Well, they're already definitely doing that.
But the thing is, I don't care.
I don't know if Joe knew, but headlines,
headlines, Midas Touch dethrones Joe Rogan as top
podcast in the country.
Wait, hold on.
What?
I never even heard of this podcast.
How could it be the top podcast in
the country?
I will explain.
Yes, please explain to everybody.
Well, first let's play, of course, it's working.
The hype is working as intended.
And here's MSNBC, Stephanie Ruhle, you know, you
know her, all the boys.
Yeah, another one of the lipless wonders on
MSNBC.
All the boys in the Goldman trading floor
loved her.
All right, new topic, Joel, before we go.
The left-leaning podcast Midas Touch has just
done the unthinkable, dethroned.
Stop, stop.
Wait, are you telling me that the Midas
Touch, which is a podcast I've never heard
of, has replaced Chappo Trap House?
Oh, Chappo Trap House is nowhere to be
found.
They're completely gone.
What happened to them?
They were, they were kicking ass.
That's a good question.
That is a good question.
I know they were bringing at least $2
million a year.
I don't know what happened to them.
They had them divided amongst 25 people, but
it's beside the point.
Has just done the unthinkable, dethroned Joe Rogan
to become the country's most popular podcast.
Do you see this as a sign of
a bigger political shift?
Because even these three guys specifically, they are
not your touchy-feely progressives.
They're like three bros from Long Island.
Look, I think that this does signal one,
Democrats and let's just call it the non
-conservative ecosystem catching up to where the kind
of Rogan right has been.
Rogan right.
They're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump guys.
Rogan right, Rogan was a libertarian left winger.
Rogan right.
Has been.
And they're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump.
By the way, you gotta be careful with
you calling libertarians left wing.
It gets me in trouble, so stop it.
The kind of Rogan right has been.
And they're not policy guys, they're anti-Trump
guys.
And they crank it out all day, every
day.
And I do think the fact that this
is organic.
Organic, oh yeah.
Wait for it.
Ecosystem that was just built up with heavy
investment from millionaires and billionaires.
These are folks who've been grinding and working.
Grinding.
My suspicion is they probably were gonna get
to this point anyway.
But it does, I think, signal where groups
and where organizations and where candidates on the
Democratic side are gonna focus a lot of
their effort going forward.
You've gotta dominate this space.
That's where conversation is.
That's where a lot of people get their
news is on YouTube, online.
You have to be present there.
And you have to have messengers that are
fearless and that know how to talk to
these folks comfortably.
And in messy conversations that are often complicated.
People often say that Democrats don't know how
to hit.
These guys are hitters.
Oh, they're hitters.
Yeah, and Democrats have the confidence to go
anywhere and make a case.
We've got a fragmented media ecosystem.
So it's good to see a little more
political diversity in that.
Democrats are gonna have to play offense and
stop just preaching to their choir, right?
The essence of evangelism is winning conference.
So you gotta get out there with the
confidence to make a case.
And not simply play to your base.
All right.
So let's talk about the Midas Touch for
a moment.
Yes, a podcast I've never heard of until
this very minute.
I had not heard of it either until
Newsweek brought us the headline, which everyone is
repeating, Midas Touch dethrones Joe Rogan.
How can it dethrone anything?
It just showed up.
You don't dethrone it.
It's like instant bestseller.
Yeah, exactly.
That would have been even better.
So I did a deep dive.
These numbers come from PodScribe.
And PodScribe, they use a tracking pixel on
downloads, which is one of the more valid
ways of getting download numbers.
And so the most recent PodScribe chart, now
that's just PodScribe, which means everybody has to
participate, which they don't.
We don't participate in any of that nonsense.
We have no tracking pixels.
There's absolutely no reason to have that.
Bragging rights.
Exactly.
I think their measurement is correct.
They say 57 million downloads for the Midas
Touch podcast versus Joe Rogan's 57 versus 50
million monthly downloads.
And let's just listen to a minute of
the most recent episode of the Midas Touch.
Just three bros.
That's all they are.
And are you okay?
I swallowed some tea.
Oh, well, it's going in the right direction.
Down the throat.
Here is the most recent episode of the
Midas Touch.
It's a dude sitting in a chair with
a big mic in his face.
Look at these headlines from the United Kingdom
this morning.
The Daily Express says, Shameful Trump attack stuns
the world.
From the Daily Star, Putin's poodle.
And Donald Trump is in the character of
a poodle.
And then being walked by Putin.
And then the Daily Mail, Trump appalls world
with dictator blast at Zelensky.
So in between Donald Trump's vacationing yesterday, playing
golf once again.
Remember over the weekend while there were devastating
storms in Kentucky, Virginia, West Virginia, Donald Trump
was circling around the Daytona 500 in his
motorcade, but then playing golf and then golfed
over the weekend.
He's golfed every day since then on our
taxpayer dime.
And in between then, he's been attacking Zelensky.
Yesterday, he called Zelensky a dictator.
He threatened Zelensky.
He threatened our allies in NATO.
We'll get to that in just a bit.
And while all of that's going on, you
have Elon Musk using his rage algorithm, his
disinformation and propaganda network known as X used
to be Twitter, making posts like this and
making a mockery of the fact that he
and Doge and Donald Trump are cutting essential
services and destroying lives.
So riveting content, riveting.
And I can tell you how they got
this number.
Yeah, this number is jacked up.
It's bullcrap.
Well, you know, you can jack up.
I did the deep dive.
I'm Notebook LM.
These guys released 13 episodes a day between
13 and 20 episodes a day, and they're
all short.
They're about 10 to 15 minutes.
Sometimes they include and it's just as far
as I can tell, it's only one guy.
I don't know.
I could not find one with the three
brothers talking.
They have a network which is all counted
with the same pixel as far as I
can tell, who also release an extraordinary amount
of episodes per day.
I think they have 10 podcasts.
Some of them they host themselves.
They have some other people.
So, yeah, if you get 100,000 per
downloads per episode, which is, you know, we
get more than that.
And you do 15 of them a day.
Yeah, you can get to 50, you know,
you can get to 50, 57 million.
If you buy a little bit of bot
traffic, that'll help.
But these guys, and I think that they
have the money for bot traffic because these
guys are not just some bros from Brooklyn.
These guys had a political action committee in
2020, which whose sole purpose was to stop
the re-election of Donald Trump.
The super PAC aligned with the Democrat Party.
So they had a PAC, then the super
PAC.
It was the Democracy, Defense and Action in
2023.
These guys are no slouches.
One's a lawyer.
One is that I think he's a partner
with Colin Kaepernick.
These guys have been around.
They are literally in millionaire and billionaire circles.
Yeah.
So they have plenty of money to buy
some bot traffic.
And they just sit there and say Trump
sucks 15 times a day.
It's like it's not even comparable.
But no, it's not.
Anyone can just say Trump sucks.
Yeah, we can do it.
Trump sucks.
We can get 57 million downloads a day.
So this is, it's just amazing that you
predicted this.
You said that they would go finding this
and there it is.
And it's pathetic.
I mean, it's really, it's no good.
I tried.
I'm like, they had an interview.
Oh, we got a great interview today with
Jim Acosta.
That's got to be, that's got to be
stirring.
Uh, yeah.
So no, I, uh, I don't put much
into this.
I just thought, well, the thing is they
were supposed to do a, uh, Rogan, uh,
Rogan that was going to be Rogan in
terms of like the way the show is
structured.
Three hours of a long conversation with someone
where the, where the person's drawn out and
they discuss things in great detail.
You get to understand and know them in
that sort of, in that sort of format,
which is not easy to do.
Only a few people can do it.
And, uh, that's what they were supposed to
find somebody could do that.
And they can't.
I mean, anyone can do a five, 10
minute podcast.
Yeah.
They'll be coming out of pod Angeles, pod
Angeles studios.
Oh, the pod Angeles studios.
Yes, indeed.
Um, well, and we may have to make
a new prediction about something else.
Very soon.
Pope Francis continues his recovery from pneumonia, eating
breakfast out of bed on Thursday morning after
a six peaceful night at the hospital.
The Vatican said the Holy see spokesman Mattia
Bruni issued a new update after confirming late
Wednesday, that new blood tests showed a slight
improvement in some of the inflammations.
The pontiff was visited on Wednesday by Italian
prime minister, Georgia Maloney, his first known VIP
visitor.
How is she a non VIP visitor?
I think it is botching a loopy guy
doing that.
And that's your own news.
For some reason, a minister, Georgia Maloney is
first known VIP visitor.
She reported after their 20 minute visit that
the Holy father was in good spirits and
had joked around as always.
Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital
on February 14th after a bout of bronchitis.
He is diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs
on top of a polymicrobial infection in his
respiratory tract, meaning a combination of bacteria, virus
and fungi.
I don't wish ill on anyone, but, you
know, at 88, this is not a good
thing for the for the pope.
And now, in fact, this is pneumonia that
kills most.
That's what kills most people.
It kills most people.
And, of course, I predicted this guy would
become the pope.
And I base that on geopolitical insights, as
we always do.
Same as us predicting the Super Bowl.
Exactly.
And you will predict the next pope, too.
Yes, I'm absolutely convinced of it.
This is not a prediction, but I have
my eye on Robert Serra of Guinea.
Of where?
Guinea.
Guinea?
Guinea.
Yes.
Guinea.
Yeah.
I think we need a black pope.
Oh, yeah, that's an interesting.
Yeah.
I, you know, we need we need to
we need to.
A black pope.
Yes.
I'm thinking that I'm not sure.
I'm not.
This is not my final prediction, but I'm
liking this guy as a candidate.
Because he's very conservative.
And I think Guinea is just interesting.
I think Guinea may be maybe the place
to be.
The place to be.
Well, well, I mean, we need we need
a pope from Africa.
We had a pope from South America, now
a pope from Africa.
That would that seems on brand for the
Vatican.
I mean, we know it's.
How about a Russian pope?
Yeah, good luck with that.
That's not going to happen.
No, there's now there is a Filipino possibility.
But that would clash.
I mean, that would be really clashing with
with China.
And then we have another guy.
Well, that might be not a bad idea
to clash.
That's possible.
We have a guy from Ghana.
So I'm still I'm still working on it.
But and I don't want to make any
predictions until until it's time for a new
pope.
That just would not be appropriate.
I'm not going to do that.
But I'm thinking I'm thinking about it.
You are.
Let's talk about some things that are really
going on.
I mean, our show is done.
We just nailed it with everything.
What more do we need to do?
I think we should talk about the DOJ.
Let's try these clips.
DOJ foil.
Fail, I think supposed to be.
OK, I have four, three to NPR.
Love it.
We are now about one month into President
Trump's term and Justice Department veterans are starting
to notice a pattern.
They say the DOJ seems to be more
lenient with people who appear loyal to the
president.
NPR Justice Correspondent Gary Johnson has been reporting
on some of those cases.
Hi there.
Hey there.
Hi there.
Hey there.
Hi there.
Hey there.
Hi there.
So we're talking, obviously, about politically sensitive cases.
What exactly are you hearing from people both
in and outside the Justice Department?
Steven Salzberg spent years at justice under Presidents
Reagan and George H.W. Bush.
He says alarm is actually an understatement about
what's happening there.
Prosecutors seem to be backing away from cases
against people with ties to Donald Trump.
There are patterns that we haven't really seen
in the past.
None of the patterns inspire a lot of
confidence that the department is being evenhanded in
its approach to cases.
Salzberg says this actually started on Inauguration Day
with Trump's clemency for more than 1,500
people who took part in the Capitol riot.
He says it looks like Trump wanted to
cut those people a break because they were
acting on his behalf.
Just as a...
Wait, wait.
Before you go, I just want to mention
what she just said about the clemency and
the parts has nothing, absolutely nothing to do
with the Justice Department.
No, that was Trump's pardon.
Yeah.
Okay.
Now, you were saying?
Well, I was going to say the Department
of Justice falls under the executive branch, correct?
Yep.
And who's in charge of the executive branch?
Let me think.
Let me look at my sheets.
Oh, Trump.
Yeah, yeah, the president.
Okay.
All right.
Well, now it gets...
Now the propaganda from these jokers gets worse.
I will inject a reminder here that Trump,
of course, was himself investigated by the Justice
Department, was charged twice by the Justice Department.
Prosecutors dropped those charges against him after he
won the election in November.
Is that experience echoing through the Justice Department
now?
It absolutely is.
After Trump returned to the White House, prosecutors
abandoned their obstruction case against two of his
aides at the Mar-a-Lago resort, while
Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira allegedly helped Trump
hide classified documents from the FBI.
Allegedly.
And Trump's spoken a lot lately about how
the Justice Department went after him.
He says that gave him an appreciation for
the plight of other politicians accused of wrongdoing.
That's really showed.
In recent weeks, DOJ dropped a case against
former Nebraska Congressman Jeff Fortenberry.
Oh, man.
Okay, stop it there.
They dropped the case.
The case was overturned.
It was still pending, but it was overturned
on appeal.
It was overturned.
And so they dropped the case that was
overturned.
They don't...
Did they mention that?
No.
This is NPR, our national treasure.
Are you telling me that they are propagandizing
and lying?
Or just maybe spreading misinformation?
So maybe there's another instance of this.
Prosecutors in Nashville withdrew from an investigation against
Republican Congressman Andy Ogles.
Ogles, of course, had introduced a bill that
would clear the way for Trump to serve
a third term in office.
Okay, Ogle.
What was the case against Ogle?
Did they tell you?
No, I have no idea.
But they dropped a case.
He failed to file his election, some election
paperwork two weeks late, which was illegal.
Yes.
So it was a process.
It was a process of persecution, I guess
is the word I should use.
It was bullcrap.
It was one of those minor things.
It was paperwork.
And so they, oh, they dropped the case
against him.
Oh, my God.
What are we going to do?
And then they throw in the little, basically
a non sequitur.
He introduced, and everybody does this for both
sides of the aisle.
Oh, yeah, all the time.
Introduce, oh, let him in for another season
or whatever.
A reveal.
And so they throw that in to compound
the bullcrap.
This is basically a report of lies.
NPR has turned into just a propagandistic tool
for the Democrat Party.
What do you mean turned into?
Okay, gambling.
Turned into gambling.
And then on Friday, the DOJ moved to
dismiss the case against New York Mayor Eric
Adams.
Yeah, this is good.
Stay with the Mayor Adams case for a
sec.
It's a big one.
And I know the fallout is.
Hey, by the way, is she a disciple
of the other guys?
I knew you'd spot that.
Yes, she's talking like this.
Yeah, she talks like the same way the
other guy does.
Yes, she's NPR's.
She knew I would spot it.
You have anything to say about it?
Or it's just what it is?
Yeah, it's just what it is.
Stay with the Mayor Adams case for a
sec.
That's a big one.
And I know the fallout is continuing.
What is the latest?
Seven prosecutors quit rather than move to drop
that case.
They said it looked like an unlawful quid
pro quo.
Adams and his lawyer have flatly denied that.
But the judge in the case, Dale Ho,
has ordered both sides to court Wednesday in
New York to explain why the prosecution's being
dismissed.
And meanwhile, more than 900 former Justice Department
prosecutors signed a letter to salute the people
still at justice for responding to ethical challenges
with courage and conviction.
One of the people who signed is Peter
Zydenberg.
He says senior lawyers at justice did not
seem to hide they were acting for political
reasons to secure Eric Adams' cooperation with immigration
agents.
The politicization of the Department of Justice seems
like it's complete.
But the chief of staff to the current
attorney general says this DOJ wants to focus
on its core function of prosecuting dangerous criminals,
not pursuing politically motivated witch hunts.
Hmm, that sounds wrong to me.
Sure.
You know, if you and I were running
NPR, we would not allow her to continue
on the air.
I mean, she sounds so hoity toity.
It's just she may not be.
She may be a very fine person on
both sides.
But when she goes, doesn't that miss the
mark on your audience?
I think so.
Yeah, I really think so.
They have a lot of people like that.
They also have a couple of screechers and
some people that can barely enunciate.
Yes.
It's pathetic.
Yes.
Hey, hi.
Hello.
So how are you doing?
And they get government money.
And I didn't cut this.
Not much.
Let's stop with that.
More than we get.
Well, that's true.
If we were trans, we'd be rolling in
dough.
We missed an obvious opportunity.
Missed an obvious opportunity.
True.
True that.
True that, boy.
That reminds me of something that current Attorney
General, this is Pam Bondi, something she said,
which is that she wants to go after
weaponization.
She does.
Bondi seems to be focused on people who
help bring cases against Donald Trump.
Harvard law professor Jack Goldsmith wrote this week,
this all seems to be doublespeak, part of
a playbook to weaponize DOJ law enforcement like
never before against Trump's perceived enemies.
And the fear of many of my sources
is that the DOJ will, on one hand,
move to help Trump's friends get out of
trouble.
And on the other, use its vast powers
of investigation and prosecution against people who have
criticized the president.
And here's Kerry Johnson there.
Thanks, Kerry.
Thanks for having me.
Thanks.
Does this help his friends, help his friends
get out of trouble?
That includes Eric Adams, the Democrat who never
liked Trump.
He's one of his friends.
Is that the deal?
And these other two doofuses that just had,
you know, some paperwork issues that that's it.
That's that's the best examples.
The only examples they could come up with
was some guy's case, which is already overturned.
And another guy who failed to file some
election paperwork within the two week time limit.
You're very mad at people who have no
audience.
They have an audience.
People listen on the radio.
Here's an update on the Eric Adams case.
Embattled Mayor Eric Adams greeted like a villain
when he arrived at federal court.
How is that greeting him like a villain?
It's like greeting him like the opposing team.
Walking out like a victorious hero after Judge
Dale Ho gave no indication he would deny
DOJ's request to dismiss the corruption case against
him while calling it a very unusual situation.
The judge conceding the court does have a
limited role to play.
When asked by the judge if the mayor
understood the charges could be reinstated, Adams telling
the court, I have not committed a crime.
I don't see them bringing it back.
I'm not afraid of that.
Acting Deputy Attorney General Emile Bouvier adding, I
don't have any plans to bring back the
case in the future.
The acting U.S. attorney and six other
federal prosecutors resigned last week in protest, claiming
the mayor cut a deal with the Trump
administration to enforce immigration policies.
Monday, four deputy mayors stepped down, prompting Governor
Hochul to hold meetings this week with key
leaders on if she should remove the mayor
from office.
But Bouvier says this is DOJ's straight prosecutorial
discretion.
There is no quid pro quo.
And even if it was, there wouldn't be
any issue with that.
Meanwhile, was forced to put on the record
that the reason for dismissing the case was
because it interferes with the mayor's ability to
enforce the president's immigration agenda.
So Eric Adams, good to go.
I guess because this kicks him out, which
is a possibility they have been discussing and
are discussing.
One of our producers sent me a note
about Sassoon, the acting attorney general.
She looks 20, by the way.
She's pretty young, very young, youthful.
Yeah.
The one who quit after three weeks on
the job.
They would say keep fail, keep failing to
mention in all the reporting.
Yes.
And who who is a member of the
Sassoon family, which I learned is one of
the big banker families, particularly notorious, allegedly, for
making their fortune off of opium addicts in
China in the 1900s.
Oh, how about that?
Isn't that interesting?
So who's the billionaire now, huh?
All right.
Since you, you threw those clips on me
and made me sit through it, I'm going
to bring you into...
I can't make you do anything.
I'm going to bring you into the realm
of pooper.
I mean, if they really wanted to be
transparent, which they say they are being transparent,
but if they really wanted to, I mean,
they could have cameras with the Doge team.
Here's body cams.
This is body cams on the Doge team.
That's exactly what he's talking about.
As they're, you know, running the wood chipper
and dismantling, you know, putting agencies through wood
chipper.
He's putting, he's putting everything into wood chipper,
but give him body cams.
Through the wood chipper.
I mean, we've seen the president had cameras
in the Oval Office.
Should be live streaming on TikTok.
Is he signing executive order after executive order?
There are other things they could do to
be more transparent, aren't there?
Certainly.
And the question really has been, what is
accurate?
I love how she just said, certainly.
But hold on a second.
He's signing these executive orders in front of
the press.
Yeah.
How much more transparent?
And then they talk about it and then
he'll take questions on every one of them.
How more transparent is he supposed to be
naked, maybe sitting there?
It's not about the president.
It's about the co-president.
We want a body cam on Elon.
He should do that, by the way.
That'd be pretty funny.
He'd get a lot of hits if he
had run a live stream.
I think it's a great idea.
I think you should take this to heart
and make the Doge team wear body cams.
Especially with all the sex he's having with
all these various women.
Certainly.
The question really has been, what is accurate
about what they are finding and what they
are uncovering?
We're seeing allegations from White House officials that
tens of millions of people are receiving Social
Security that are either dead or should not
be receiving it.
Obviously, that would be a third of people
who get Social Security.
When you actually look at audits that have
been done, including one that was done, I
believe, two years ago in 2023.
This is something that the government has been
reviewing in the past.
It's not a newfound idea.
But then sometimes there are claims that you've
seen the administration make, including when Elon Musk
was confronted about one of them, about condoms
going to Gaza in the Oval Office, who
said it was not true and that he
would correct things when they were wrong.
But oftentimes, it takes some work going on
behind the scenes to ask them about that
before they get there.
Wait, hold on, stop.
She goes on and talks about it wasn't
true, but they don't talk about what did
happen, which was the same amount of condoms
went to Mozambique, which he called them out
on when they said, hey, it never went
to Gaza, they went to Mozambique.
And he said, yeah, so that's good.
That's better.
What are you talking about?
Hey, man.
So she just blows by that information.
It's AC 360, man.
I mean, it's even lower than NPR.
They're running us out of town.
We won't have media to deconstruct if they
keep this up.
Well, no, now we got the Midas touch.
No, it's true.
When they were wrong.
But oftentimes, it takes some work going on
behind the scenes to ask them about that
before they get there.
And so I think that has been a
big part of the question here in terms
of accountability and transparency and what's actually accurate
and what is fraud and what is simply
something that this administration disagrees with.
Before I continue with this series breaking news,
Kash Patel has been confirmed.
Good.
Yes.
That should be good for a laugh.
Yeah.
And now you're right.
Every single one of his nominees went through.
Except for Matt Gaetz.
Well, yeah, I mean, he bailed.
He bailed early.
Now, Anderson.
I mean, this is how low CNN has
come.
It's like, who can we bring in to
talk about Doge?
Come on, John.
You know who?
Hotep.
Close.
You know, there were there were camera crews
with the Marines on, you know, and the
military on D-Day as they landed at
the beach to show the American people.
Oh, did the did the Marines have body
cams?
Hey, a D-Day.
They had camera crews.
I mean, we should have them at Doge
Day.
What kind of comparison is this?
This is off the wall.
This is insane.
As they landed at the beach to show
the American people what was happening.
I don't understand why not be transparent.
I think anybody from any political background.
I've never heard this in the news media
that that they that they want body cams
on.
I mean, let's put body cams on attorneys
general.
Let's put body.
You know what?
Let's put a body cam on Anderson Cooper.
How about this for an idea?
And I've written about this in my sub
stack column.
They've worked at sub stack dot com.
Let's put cams in the classroom.
Now you're talking.
I have body cams on the teachers that
first would be happy with cutting waste and
cutting inefficiencies and any kind of abuse and
any kind of bloat and all that stuff.
Why not be super transparent about it?
This group was fired because X, Y and
Z.
And we don't even know the decision making
process.
You know, you hear reports about from people
have been fired that like I had to
go to present in front of some, you
know, 20 something year old who knows nothing
about my agency.
I had to justify my job in a
minute or two or something.
Here she comes.
Right.
That's what they want to do.
They want to create chaos and confusion.
Girl, it's Kara.
It's your protege.
It's because these decisions aren't very well made
because they're not interested in reforming.
They're interested in reforming.
They would pass congressional laws.
Right.
That's the way you do it.
But they're interested in doing is shock and
awe.
And we're coming in.
We're just going to cut.
It's a very common thing that Elon does
at all his companies.
He comes in and upends.
Someone at one of his companies says he
comes in, he upends a trash can and
then runs out.
And everyone's summarily scared.
And then they get back to work.
And in this case, that's what he's doing.
He's creating a situation of discomfort among these
people to do that.
But they don't want you to see it
because either there's nothing to see or they're
doing things, perhaps not the most legal of
ways.
And I probably both of those are true.
Yes.
I think actually played one out of order.
This was this is where introduction.
Much more now on Elon Musk and Doge
and who's running it, among many other things.
Joining us is Kara Swisher, who knows Elon
Musk well and is often written about him.
She's an incurred his ire, of course.
She's host of podcasts.
The podcast on with Kara Swisher, co-host
of Pivot.
And we're happy to say a CNN contributor.
So Kara, who runs Doge?
We need to get a big become.
When did she become a CNN contributor?
Well, she's on that show.
She was on the show with with Chris,
the guy who left, who became a podcaster.
Cuomo?
No, no, no.
The Fox guy.
Chris Hayes?
No, the Fox guy.
What's his name?
Fox guy.
Yeah.
The guy who left Fox for CNN, then
left CNN to become a podcaster instead of
the humiliation of being fired.
Chris Wallace.
Oh, Chris Wallace.
Yes.
Chris Wallace.
So and then she was on his panel.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, this is not a, you know, a
Kumbaya group of people making decisions.
This is Elon Musk making decisions or presenting
things to the president.
The president just shakes his head.
I doubt he very much knows a lot
of the specifics of what they're doing.
But diving into agencies like this, like they're
like they're a marine force attacking a beach.
That's what they're doing.
They're creating fear.
They're creating a narrative about they're coming.
They're coming to get you.
And, you know, what they're really trying to
do, if you what I think they're trying
to do is get control of this data
for purposes of uniting.
I love how so the narrative they have
created.
That these media people have created is that
they're storming the beaches.
What I think they're trying to do is
get control of this data for purposes of
uniting it in some way, using AI, probably
Elon's AI company to do so.
So I'm always paying attention to what they're
after, which is to me.
What is she even talking about?
They're trying to get a hold of the
data.
They're going to try to unite it.
What do you mean?
What does she mean by they're trying to
unite it?
They're trying to use Elon's AI company to
do it.
Unite it.
What is she talking about?
Yes, the beaches are back open.
Yeah, I have no idea.
Much more now on.
Oops, hold on.
Let's move on to the next piece.
You know, let's play just a bite of
one other clip from this interview.
I used to be adored by the left.
You know, not anymore.
Hey, this is the end.
This everyone and oh, they're playing this over
and I can't believe we had Elon and
the and the president, his co-president.
They did an interview on Fox, of course,
on Fox, of course.
Used to be adored by the left.
You know, not anymore.
Less so these days.
He killed that, huh?
I mean, less.
I really didn't.
I mean, it's this whole sort of like,
you know, it's they call it like Trump
derangement syndrome.
And I don't you know, you don't realize
how real this is until like it's you
can't reason with people.
So like I was at a friend's birthday
party in LA, just a birthday dinner.
I have to mention the president's name.
And it was like they got shot with
a dart in the jugular that contained like
methamphetamine and rabies.
OK, good line.
What is wrong with guys like you can't
have like a normal conversation.
Yeah.
And it's like it's like they become completely
irrational.
I'm going to confirm this.
I have received several emails in the past
few days in between shows of people saying
my liberal friends have basically divorced me.
Like this, like, you know, won't talk.
One of our friends is a yoga instructor.
I don't get it because I thought this
was over.
No, it's accelerated.
I've reacquainted myself with the lib joes.
Well, just you wait.
No, I think I think we're just ahead
of the curve here in California.
That's OK.
One of our friends is a yoga instructor
in in Illinois.
And and one of her long term clients
all of a sudden went, you're to blame
for this.
You voted for him, you Christian nationalists.
I mean, she was shocked.
She was shocked.
Christian nationalist.
I know, you know, just parrot everything mean.
Well, that's exactly as he called us.
And Tina says, Adam, could you just tell
her what what Christian nationalism is?
It's a bullcrap term that was made up.
Yeah, it's like conspiracy theorists.
I think the CIA dreamed it up.
Yeah.
But the whole idea is if you do
not agree with them, they call you unintelligent,
stupid, expected better from you, sexist, racist, Nazi.
And then I can't talk with you anymore.
I'm sorry.
I can't talk with you anymore.
Can't talk with you anymore.
And Trump is coming for your Social Security.
By the way, I will say Tina received
her first Social Security check this month.
This is Tina.
Sixty two.
She took early until she was sixty five.
Now she's early.
We know she went and she did the
early.
OK, yeah, yeah.
Well, after the covid shots, I think, yeah,
you want to take the early because you're
not going to make it that long.
She didn't take a covid shot.
What are you talking about?
What's wrong with you?
I'm talking for in general.
Oh, in general.
Yes.
OK.
It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them
and also how a lot of people in
the company of Elon Musk like have this
fake laugh, like what he's saying is like
super, super funny.
I know every joke, joke.
Well, it's everything is.
Have you noticed this?
The fake.
We have to be on the lookout.
Who does the fake laugh?
I haven't.
I'm sorry.
I didn't.
Whatever she was saying, I didn't understand what
she's talking about, what Anderson Cooper says.
Listen again.
It's interesting to watch the dynamic between them
and also how a lot of people in
the company of Elon Musk like have this
fake laugh, like what he's saying is like
super, super funny.
I know every joke, joke.
Well, it's everything is super funny when they're
the world's richest man.
In case you're interested, if you ever get
to that status, you know, I think they're
just trying to show, trying to.
This is a show.
What Anderson?
It said the word show.
You know, the president said that this is
the buddy company, and I think that's what
they're going for.
And of all people, Donald Trump understands the
power of narrative.
And there's a narrative happening here.
But just don't bother us with the details.
This is not you know, this is a
way to do shock and awe rather than
actually do the hard task of reforming the
government, which everybody is behind.
But why do it this way?
Because it's interesting because it's a show, because
it's entertaining, because there's is he a villain?
Is he is the Iron Man or is
he Thanos like that kind of thing?
And I think they don't mind if you
think either thing of them.
They just want you to keep watching.
I'm not even going to play my last
clip, but it's too stupid to listen to.
What is he talking about?
They're laughing.
Apparently, people around Musk have a fake laugh.
I guess.
I don't know.
I mean, I haven't seen any evidence of
this.
No, that's why we need to pay attention
to it.
Also, look for it also on CNN.
I know you saw this.
Don't blow the punch line.
But this isn't don't blow.
Don't blow the punch line.
This is an excellent example of the Mann
-Gellman amnesia effect.
And what that means is if you hear
someone reads originally, if you read something in
a newspaper that you really are an expert
on the topic, everybody's an expert on something
and you read something factually incorrect, you have
to assume that everything else in that newspaper
is probably factually incorrect.
And in this case, they bring on Mr.
Wonderful, Mr. Wonderful Kevin O'Leary.
He's also a shark in the shark tank
and knows nothing.
They're not whacking enough.
There's this concept in private equity when you
get a bankrupt company and you go in
there, you cut 20 percent more than your
initial read.
And then you find like a pool of
mercury.
The organization gels back together again.
Always cut deeper, harder when there's fat and
waste.
The FAA is not the people.
The code is cobalt.
It's from the 60s.
It's cobalt, I tell you.
It's from the 60s.
It's cobalt.
And then he goes on to say it
needs CapEx put into it for the technology
to be upgraded to make it safer, fat
like a chicken.
Safer.
Cobalt.
I don't think it's unsafe.
It may be.
Oh, it's actually quite secure.
Yeah, it may be arcane.
It's just hard to hack.
Yeah.
And you may have to use all uppercase,
but it's it's not a cobalt.
What a tool.
Yeah, I saw that, too, obviously, that they
retweeted it.
Yeah, I saw staying with the Doge.
And I I said right away, I found
this very suspicious and I wanted people to
to who live in the I think they
call it the in the DMV area, D
.C., Virginia, Maryland, to let me know if
they saw that there was indeed a surge
of people putting their houses up for sale
because of the Doge cuts.
And turns out now.
Have you seen this post making the rounds
on social media?
It shows an explosion of houses hitting the
market in Arlington County and Falls Church.
The post suggests that President Trump and Elon
Musk's slashing of the federal workforce is leading
to a mass real estate selloff and a
mass exodus from northern Virginia.
The chief economist for the National Association of
Realtors says this viral pick is bogus.
Right now, we're not seeing any major increase
in inventory or any plunging in home prices.
Ashley Waymeier is a real estate agent in
northern Virginia, and she says this bogus post
has real estate agents across the area scrambling
to try to set the story straight.
Some realtors have been posting because they've been
getting calls from clients saying, what's going on?
Is this true?
Should I put my house on the market
right now?
Bottom line, there is no selloff and the
housing inventory is actually still low in the
DMV.
And the numbers prove it.
Here's a breakdown of the housing inventory in
northern Virginia for the first two weeks of
this month compared to the same time last
year.
This time period covers the fork in the
road emails sent to federal workers.
And what we see here is, well, not
much other than in Loudoun County, across the
entire DC metro region, there were just nine
more homes on the market compared to last
year.
That is not significant.
And like I said, in Loudoun, you are
seeing that, but you do have the new
builds and you also have new construction, but
you also have people who have been ordered
to return to work.
And so they're looking, maybe we should come
back in and be a little bit closer
now.
Yeah.
And that's confirmed by Tom Starkweather, end of
show mixer, meetup organizer and producer of the
show.
He says it's great.
The traffic going into DC now is at
a crawl in the morning because everybody has
to go back to work.
So it's factually just untrue.
But, you know, oh, doge is kicking butt
here.
Look at that.
Wow.
These crazy are losing.
They're selling their houses.
No, but I'm sure there will be an
uptick eventually, by the way.
Well, there is an uptick of nine houses.
Nine houses.
I think when it comes to inflation, which
is, you know, of course, President Trump, he
said right away, price is going to do
it.
And I put my hand on the Bible,
which he didn't do.
Then prices, everything's going to come down.
Life's going to get cheaper.
I think it will in housing if they
count that in the CPI.
Do they count housing and CPI?
They take that out, right?
I think as they keep changing the rules
for it makes it more fun.
That doesn't look good.
Let's take that out.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure that you'll see housing
prices go down because the migrant issue is
ending.
Hotel prices may come down.
They have to come down.
And there's just going to be more housing
available.
I'm sure they won't count.
I think housing and energy.
Well, that's core.
We don't want to report on that.
And we need to report on the hamburger
helper.
That's really exciting.
Eggs.
Eggs is really expensive.
Hamburger helper.
There was another bogus video that I want
to bring to everyone's attention.
This was posted on social media as JD
Vance made the chairman of the Munich Security
Conference cry after the speech of Vice President
Vance on Friday.
We have to fear that our common value
base is not that common anymore.
I'm very grateful to all those European politicians
that spoke out and reaffirmed the values and
principles that they are defending.
No one did this better than President Zelensky.
Let me conclude.
And this becomes difficult.
He was leaving his post after being there
for I don't know how many years.
And they edited the end into that piece
and posted it.
And people went, oh, that's so good.
Mega is making him cry.
It's not true.
Media lies.
Gambling, gambling.
Yeah.
And while we're on it, let's let's play
this little bit from Lindy, Lindy Hop, Lady
G Graham, who, of course, is, you know,
whoa, I'm all for the president.
Yeah, he can he can have a meeting
without Zelensky.
He can do whatever he wants, because I
love President Trump.
I'm all in.
I'm Lindy Hep G.
There will be no deal without Ukraine being
consulted and on board because it won't work.
I talked to Zelensky today.
Nobody is going to do anything that that
you're not involved with.
But talking to the Russians separately, I'm actually
OK with that.
Then go back to Ukraine and see what
they think and keep working.
Keep working at the end.
You got to get both parties into the
room.
But those who are criticizing Trump, where were
you in 2014 to my Democratic friends are
up in arms.
You had a chance to deter a Russian
invasion.
You failed miserably, miserably.
I think there's one person that Putin really
is afraid of.
That's Trump.
If you ever get a good deal on
Ukraine to be because Trump created a sense
of dread by Russia.
You know, Senator Graham, that's quite rich of
you to be saying to my Democratic friends.
Where were you in 2014?
Where were you, Lindsey Graham, in 2014?
Your fight is our fight.
2017 will be the year of offense.
All of us will go back to Washington
and we will push the case against Russia.
You remember this little bit of video?
Enough of a Russian aggression.
I see it is time for them to
pay a heavier price.
And he just goes, you are two faced.
What he was gambling going on.
Now he's he's horrible.
He's really horrible.
I got some Ukraine clips.
Let's go with this.
Let's go with the Ukraine peace rap one.
The special envoy to Ukraine and Russia is
in Kyiv today.
That's as President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr
Zelensky exchange strong accusations.
NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Postar, has the Ukraine
update.
Postar's the guy.
Here's our guy.
What is he?
Our guy?
He's the guy with the voice.
Oh.
NTD's international correspondent, Ariane Postar, has the Ukraine
update.
The new Jeff Begay's special envoy to Ukraine
and Russia, Keith Kellogg, is in Kyiv this
week.
He already met with some high ranking officials
on Wednesday and is scheduled to sit down
with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky as well.
General Kellogg is already in Kyiv.
He has met with Commander in Chief Sirsky,
our intelligence and special service heads, and the
head of my office.
Our meeting with General Kellogg is scheduled for
tomorrow.
Kellogg's visit to Kyiv comes after he was
part of a U.S. delegation that held
talks with Russian counterparts in Saudi Arabia.
Zelensky has repeatedly said the U.S. and
Russia can't agree on a peace deal without
Ukraine being involved in the talks.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said this on Wednesday.
President Trump told me during our phone call
that the U.S. assumed that both Russia
and Ukraine will take part in the negotiating
process.
Nobody is excluding Ukraine from this process.
They took like 48 hours, everyone moaning and
groaning about us, America, forget who, it doesn't
even matter who it is, talking to Russia
separately outside of Ukraine, just our own little
deals, you know, what can we do here?
And then everyone's all up in arms and
Zelensky starts saying that Trump is falling for
Russian disinformation.
Like, what kind of an idiot is this
guy?
Well, he's worried sick.
So he cut out.
Well, he cut out of the payoff.
By the way, I hear that the U
.S. has halted all weapon sales to Ukraine.
This is coming from inside Ukraine.
I mean, the ammo is a big problem.
Yeah, well, that's what's going to happen.
Yes.
We just can't keep, you know, we're not
going to just weaken ourselves to an extreme
by just propping up Ukraine and when it
seems to be like just part of a
corrupt money laundering operation from the looks of
it.
That's not true, man, because all that money
went to U.S. contractors.
Yeah, sure it did.
So here we go with part two.
President Trump took to social media on Wednesday
addressing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Trump wrote that a modestly successful comedian, Volodymyr
Zelensky, talked the United States of America into
spending $350 billion.
On top of this, Zelensky admits that half
of the money we sent him is missing.
Trump also called Zelensky a dictator without elections.
Zelensky better move fast or he's not going
to have a country left.
Man, he's channeling Schwarzenegger here.
He better move fast.
Otherwise, he won't have to listen to this.
Zelensky better move fast or he's not going
to have a country left.
The fast.
That's how Schwarzenegger would say it.
I never thought of him sounding like Schwarzenegger.
As you mentioned it, I'm going to have
to be hearing that forever.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Because of the ongoing fighting in Ukraine, the
country skipped its presidential elections after Zelensky's term
expired.
On Tuesday night, a reporter asked Trump if
Ukraine should hold presidential elections.
Where the leader in Ukraine, I mean, I
hate to say it, but he's down at
4% approval rating.
Wouldn't the people of Ukraine have to say
like, you know, it's been a long time
since we've had an election?
On Wednesday, Zelensky responded to Trump's comments.
Since we are talking about 4%, we have
seen this disinformation.
We understand that this is coming from Russia.
These numbers are being discussed between America and
Russia.
Zelensky added that Trump is living, quote, in
a Russian disinformation space.
But Trump says that the need for elections
in Ukraine is not coming from Russia, but
rather from the people of Ukraine and other
allied countries.
That's really interesting how that was the next
talking point.
Oh, Bill, his fee is 50% according
to some agency in Ukraine.
Whatever.
Did you hear Trump on Air Force One
talking about, because he sent over Besant.
He sent Besant over to collect the minerals
with a big bag.
Our treasury secretary went with a big satchel.
Like, I'm here to collect the minerals.
Let me see if you can hear this.
It was on Air Force One, so the
audio is not great.
Can you hear this okay?
Yeah, not really.
It's easier for you to summarize.
Well, okay.
Essentially, they told him, no, Zelensky was sleeping
and unavailable.
So they sent Scott Besant to do the
deal for the rare earth minerals.
And they said, no, Zelensky can't meet with
you.
He's sleeping.
And then, and I want to get to
your anal clips in a moment.
Now, now I keep hearing out of Europe,
Europe is putting together a package of 735
billion dollars or euros, almost the same these
days, to help Ukraine to get them to,
you know, to be in a position of
strength.
And I'm like, where is this money coming
from?
Who has 735 billion euros in Europe to
give to Ukraine?
And how will the EU citizens feel about
that?
And of course, then we got France 24
explaining it to me.
European and Ukrainian leaders obviously very unhappy with
the Trump administration's plan to negotiate bilaterally with
Russia on ending the war without input from
Brussels or Kyiv.
As Trump is clearly looking to end US
financing for Ukraine's war effort, Kyiv has been
pushing the idea of using frozen Russian assets
to replace that funding.
Roughly $300 billion worth of securities and cash
have been frozen in the European asset clearinghouse
Euroclear following Russia's 2022 invasion, most of those
assets belonging to Russia's central bank.
Some $50 billion in profits and interest from
that capital have already been seized and funneled
to Ukraine in the form of loans.
The US and the UK had previously suggested
seizing the entire pile outright.
That idea, though, faced resistance at the time
from European economic powers, notably France and Germany,
who feared that it would set a dangerous
precedent that could eventually destabilize the euro currency.
In the current context, though, EU leaders appear
increasingly open to the idea.
Here's Finland's president this weekend.
The first phase is the pre-negotiation.
And this is the moment when we need
to rearm Ukraine and put maximum pressure on
Russia, which means sanctions, which means frozen assets
so that Ukraine begins these negotiations from a
position of strength.
Oh, Finland, you're getting roped into something you
don't want to be in.
This this crazy idea, it was already sketchy.
I'll say sketchy of them to take the
50 billion of interest as a loan.
Don't worry, by the way, I think we
were in the middle of that deal.
And now they want to take the three,
300, 350 billion.
Just steal it.
Steal it.
That's a bad idea, supply.
It's a bad idea.
Yeah, you lose all confidence in the entire
European banking system.
The whole system.
Yeah, you can't do that.
And so it collapsed.
I mean, it's already, somebody's already done the
numbers on this.
The Russian economy is not doing that bad.
In fact, it's doing quite well compared to
the EU, which is doing poorly ever since
the EU really started, you know, getting cranked
up in the early 2000s.
Their economy has grown at half the rate
of ours.
Yes.
They're in really big trouble.
The EU is just screwed.
And this is not going to help.
By the way, I got a note from
Rich.
He lives in the EU and he says,
you know, your show saved me back in
2015 during the big the first big European
migration crisis.
At the time, the media was showing awful
images of dead kids being washed up on
beaches.
Remember this?
Oh, yeah.
Hey, can you move that dead kid over
a little bit to the left so I
can get a better shot?
Exactly.
He says, you know, you guys really saved
me.
But on the last show, I've been feeling
very depressed.
You were talking about Europe going to hell.
And John was just casually talking about the
hundred years war being the norm.
Looming war is a mainstream media talking point.
I was hoping for something a bit more
reassuring from no agenda.
I'm sorry.
Well, I don't I don't think there'll be
a hundred years war, but.
Oh, but is that no, but it is
kind of the the or the Europeans have
been having these fights.
They can't seem to stop and they just
keep wanting to go over the abyss.
I mean, there's just nothing we can do
about it.
I think we've got to cut them loose.
I'm sorry to our rich, rich, to rich,
to rich.
You'll be OK.
Not you may just be aware.
OK, well, you'll be OK.
Just look at the ground.
It will all go away.
Don't look at anybody in the eye.
It will all go away.
Let's go to the now.
Well, before we go to the analysis, let's
play a little NPR, not an NPR, yeah,
an NPR clip.
This is the I thought it might fit
in there.
This is the Russian the Russian normalized NATO
clip.
As President Trump thaws U.S. diplomatic relations
with Russia, he is trading blows with Ukraine.
Nearly three years after his country was invaded
by Russian forces, President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Trump
for falsely blaming the hostilities on Ukraine.
Covering the Kremlin, NPR's Charles Maines reports the
Russian government says Moscow and Washington are on
their way toward normalizing relations.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov briefing Russian lawmakers
on the talks praised President Trump as the
first Western leader to publicly acknowledge the prospect
of NATO expansion into Ukraine as a major
cause of the war.
Lavrov said there was now a shared desire
not only to end that conflict, but possibly
work with the U.S. to develop new
trade and geopolitical partnerships.
To do that, Lavrov said both sides first
had to, quote, clean up Biden administration efforts
to undermine relations.
The Biden White House sought to isolate Russia
over its invasion of its neighbor.
In contrast, President Trump has said he wants
to work with Russia to end the war
unnerving Ukraine and traditional U.S. allies in
Europe.
Okay.
All right.
So that's a little different than the Biden
approach.
Yes, yes.
I have some analysis too.
So let's get your anal clips.
Okay.
These are the analysis clips.
How does President Trump...
I'm sorry.
As you keep referring to them as anal...
Because they are literally titled anal in all
caps, because analysis is too tedious for you
to write.
Oh, it's so many letters.
How does President Trump's foreign policy on China
relate to the current peace negotiations with Russia?
And how does the policy of the second
Trump administration compare to that of the first?
Joining us now to dive into these issues
is Grant Newsham, senior fellow at the Japan
Forum for Strategic Studies and retired Marine Colonel.
Grant, thank you so much for joining us.
Good to see you again.
Lots of headlines and raised eyebrows about President
Trump's way of negotiating to end the Russia
-Ukraine war.
Given Trump's business background, is his foreign policy
transactional or is there a diplomatic element here?
Well, I think every foreign policy is transactional.
The Americans do something because they want the
other side to do something for them.
Wow.
This is deep.
It's called a negotiation.
Oh, very interesting.
It doesn't matter which president it is.
Diplomacy comes in different forms.
Sometimes it's very placid, takes place behind closed
doors.
Other times it can be more out in
the open.
And that's what we're seeing right now with
Mr. Trump.
So as I said, it's always transactional.
We want something.
In this case, the administration wants the war
to end so it can focus on the
Pacific, focus on China.
In terms of how it's conducted, well, every
administration, every president has their style.
And I think we're seeing Mr. Trump's style
on display.
And what do you make of the backlash
President Trump is facing for calling Zelensky a
dictator without elections as negotiations for the end
of the war continue?
It's not unusual for two sides, even allies
or partners, to have some pretty sort of
raucous disputes.
It is a little unusual to have them
take place in public.
Usually these things are hashed out behind closed
doors.
So we are seeing something that we usually
don't see.
But it is, as I say, it's not
the usual way that such talks take place.
But maybe we shouldn't be too surprised.
Not the usual way.
This is Doge body cam, baby.
Is there any difference?
No, I don't think so.
This guy's one of those precise talkers.
Yes, I had noticed that.
And the little, when he says little.
Little, yes.
All right.
Yeah, this is not the best analysis clips
I've had.
No.
But there's a couple of just minor points
that it's worth at least people should listen
to.
And zooming out a bit here, what would
the end of the Russia-Ukraine war mean
for a country like China?
Well, China is watching very closely.
And if they think that Putin has come
out of the Ukraine war ahead.
Then we can do the same.
That it's been worthwhile for him to have
done it.
That they, I think, will be encouraged to
make a move in their territory against Taiwan,
Philippines, elsewhere.
But they are watching very closely.
So that is something that you do have
to watch.
Can Putin argue at the end of this,
look, I got what I wanted.
The cost was, yeah, it was high, maybe.
But it was worth it.
And you just might have Xi Jinping say,
well, if Putin could do it, and he
only had half a million casualties, well, I
can handle that.
And Taiwan is just so juicy.
That he might be tempted to make a
move.
So you do have to watch this very
closely.
And it would be nice if this ended
with Mr. Putin, sort of being sort of
as humiliated as we were when we ran
out of Afghanistan.
But I'm not so sure how you would
actually pull that off.
But this is certainly important.
And whatever happens in Ukraine, there's going to
be a direct result one way or the
other in the Pacific, in Asia.
Wow.
This guy is running through the talking points.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm not going to argue with you.
Let's let him wrap.
Now, when it comes to President Trump's China
strategy for this term, how do you view
it compared to his first?
Is this a continuation, an expansion or something
entirely different?
It will be different, but I think it
will generally be the same or similar.
I put it that way.
Genuinely.
His first administration, they've had the best lineup
for dealing with China that any administration has
ever had, with fellows like Matt Pottinger, Miles
Yu, Mike Pompeo, Dave Stilwell.
That was a rare alignment.
This time around, it remains to be seen.
It's only been 30 days or so that
the administration's been in place.
So we don't quite know exactly who's going
to be in it and also what the
policy is going to be.
I think it is going to be a
confrontational towards China.
And in that sense, it will be a
continuation of the first Trump administration.
This guy is just vying for a job
for when something goes down with China.
He can come back on NTD and talk
some more.
Oh, yeah, it's going to be China.
I told you so.
I think Mr. Trump probably knows he got
burned several times by the Chinese.
I don't think he'll plan to have that
happen again.
And I would note that Marco Rubio, the
Secretary of State, Mike Waltz, his national security
advisor, and even Pete Hicks at the Department
of Defense, these people are very good on
China.
They know the threat that comes from the
CCP and want to do something about it.
And then you have other people who will
fill out the administration's team and they will
have different views.
Some of them thinking that there is actually
an accommodation to be made with the Chinese
Communist Party and that we can reach a
certain detente.
I don't think that's possible, but there are
some people who think that.
And then there's others who just want an
all out effort to bring down the Chinese
Communist Party.
And then there's others who are just surprisingly
appeasers.
So you get a mix, but it remains
to be seen exactly how this turns out
finally.
But I think Mr. Trump learned some lessons
in his first time around, and he's not
likely to make those mistakes again.
So one can be cautiously optimistic.
Yeah, this is whatever happened to Russia.
It's our worst enemies.
This is our true adversary.
Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia,
China, China, China.
You're a little early on the pivot, bro.
I have some, I think, good analysis.
I've played this.
Yes, stand by.
This comes from Canada.
I mean, even more.
Oh, this guy is good.
I've played him before.
He's a retired national defense dude for Candanavia,
Andrew Rasulis, Rasulis, Rasulis, I think is how
you pronounce it.
And he gives a much more accurate picture.
First of all, this whole, this whole, the
whole background to it has to be put
into proper context of how we even got
here.
And I think he does a good job.
Let me make a start by asking you
of how things are playing out, especially between
the United States, Donald Trump and Ukraine's Zelensky.
You know, it's sort of a war of
words that's broken out between them.
The latest war of words is about the
fact that what Trump is suggesting is that
if the Ukrainians had implemented the Minsk two
agreements, which were signed in 2015, and had
they implemented them, the suggestion is the Russians
would have had no reason to attack since
they would have gotten a neutral Ukrainian buffer
zone from that deal.
So he's blaming Ukrainians for not implementing that
deal on the popularity ratings.
I mean, that's a bit of an issue
because he says there are 4% and
most figures say a 50%.
So that's just an off the wall thing.
Exactly.
So yes, that's exactly right.
Ukraine did not adhere to the agreement, the
Minsk two accord.
And they were invited to Saudi Arabia, by
the way.
Let's talk about Ukraine actually being left out
from the first round of talks itself between
United States and Russia.
And of course, we've seen how there was
an emergency meeting held in Europe in regards
with that.
And then Zelensky also meeting with Turkey.
Your take on how this is playing out
in terms of ending the war?
Well, the Americans really want to push this,
which is why they're trying to keep it
really to the combatants or the protagonists, Russia,
Ukraine, and the United States as a broker.
And that's a key difference from Biden and
where they were doing having Ukrainians push it.
And then, as Trump says, will take three
years and got nowhere.
So that's a major change in how they're
going to make the deal.
And the Americans want to drive this home.
The Americans are also looking at their bilateral
relationship with Russia and not related necessarily just
to Ukraine.
Now, with the Ukrainians, Trump is saying, you
know, they're going to bring them in and
they offer them, you know, depending what you
read, Ukrainians were offered to be at the
table in Saudi Arabia, but they refused to
do that.
So take your story on that one.
But yes, behind the scenes, there's a lot
going on.
In fact, today in public, Kellogg, Trump's envoy,
is arriving in Kiev to talk to Zelensky.
So that shows a continual dialogue that is
actually taking place.
Exactly.
And then finally, what is what is this?
This is yes.
What's realistically on the table?
What will actually go down?
I think this guy has it right.
Let's talk about the concessions here.
What's your understanding?
The manner in which it's playing out, the
fact that we're seeing how Ukraine will not
be a part of NATO, as we have
heard, is a victory of sorts for Vladimir
Putin.
And then we have the regions of Luhansk
and Donetsk.
We've had people from Trump administration saying that
Ukraine should forget about returning to its original
borders.
Do you see a victory after victory coming
in for Putin in that regard?
Well, I mean, Putin is going to get
something from this.
And we and Rubio says all options are
on the table now.
These are early days of a negotiating process.
And I caution that.
So I personally don't take anything off the
table as of now.
But given the let's say the trend line,
if you will.
Yes, the territorial side of the equation, in
all probability, Russia will walk away with most,
if not all of what it holds.
And for Russia, Crimea and the land bridge
to Crimea from Russia proper is absolutely key.
And that will be, I believe, a victory
for Putin in that sense.
Now, the other side of the equation, which
is the guarantees, the NATO membership, really, that's
we all know the official positions, the rhetoric,
no NATO for Ukraine in terms of the
Russians and so on.
But I think we have to wait to
see how things work out.
There is a spectrum of security guarantees that
could be negotiated for Ukraine.
And at this point, it's premature to really
speculate on what those guarantees will be, even
I would suggest on NATO membership.
Yeah, I, I get the feeling that Trump's
ultimate plan is dissolve NATO.
And we will just offer security guarantees in
return for things like no tariffs on our
products or build, build in America, we'll protect
you.
You can trust us, don't worry.
There's also talk of the Mar-a-Lago
Accords, which now, which I think is, I
don't know if I was the first one
to say it, but I hear it everywhere
now, the Mar-a-Lago Accord, this is
crazy, that in order to rejigger the financial
system, America will offer security guarantees to countries
who swap their current treasury bonds for long
term, like 100 year, no coupon, so zero
interest loans, which would be very interesting if
that happened.
Have you, have you heard about this?
No, those are two separate issues.
I want to get back to the security
thing.
Well, no, it's connected.
It's connected.
That's why.
Well, I suppose if you could, you could
probably make it seem connected, but we're not
doing that.
We're not going to put, do security for
Ukraine.
They're going to, I think it's going to
be the following.
Okay.
I think there may be some pullback on
NATO.
There's going to be a determination that Europe
should be protecting Ukraine.
There'll be no NATO in Ukraine, but there'll
be a security force provided by the Europeans
who want to create an army anyway.
And this could be their, their kind of
prototype.
And they could put their little soldiers in
there to keep things in order.
Their green army men?
Their little green army men, gray.
And we'll be divorced of the whole thing.
This is costing us too much money.
In fact, the entire NATO experiment, if you
look at the chart of how much money
is being spent, we have essentially since World
War II, this is not a protection treaty.
This is a bribe.
We have been, we have bought off the
Europeans the way I see it.
Bought off, we've just provided tens of hundreds
of billions of dollars to Europe not to
fight anymore.
And we keep throwing money, don't fight anymore.
Don't worry, we'll support this, we'll support that.
And we, and we're getting sick of it.
I mean, it's just draining our economy.
We have other things to deal with.
And so the whole, all of South America's
kind of lost to the Chinese as is
Africa, because we're concentrating too much on bribing
the Europeans not to fight.
And that's all our money's been for.
It's all that money in the Ukraine's the
same thing.
It's all just drain the United States Treasury
to keep, to bribe the Europeans not to
fight with each other.
I think it's got to end.
They're going to either have to fight with,
if they're going to want to, if there's
nothing, the only reason they're not fighting is
because we're giving them free money.
It's ridiculous.
Let them fight.
Each other?
They're going to have to, because they just
try to keep us out of it.
I mean, they keep dragging us.
They dragged us into World War I because
of the bankers.
They tricked us into getting involved with that.
Then they dragged us into World War II.
Oh, of course, we kind of, thanks to
Roosevelt, we kind of put ourselves in that
one.
And they're still hating each other.
And then they're blaming, and the Russians who
stopped that war, really, who are allies, they
were part of the allies, even though they
were communists trying to take over everything.
This bribery, this is just extortion.
Do you remember when we said, where are
all the German podcasts?
Yes, you've said that a number of times.
Well, I got a reply from our man,
Frank, on the ground, and it's worse than
I thought.
And it's related to this.
The biggest German podcast is called Kontrafunk.
Kontrafunk.
They are a 24-7 streaming station with
podcasts, consisting mainly of former public radio journalists
who were fed up or got fired for
not playing ball, and they've gone to Switzerland.
All these podcasts, like Nacht des Niveaux, Paul
Brandenburg runs that also in Switzerland, they all
had to go to Switzerland.
And after seeing the 60 Minutes piece on
German censorship...
I have clips.
I have clips too.
I'm happy to play your clips.
Well, these are clips that they were done
so well by Jesse Waters, even though he
did have to do the normal cutting back
on his such type.
Can we just play the...
Okay.
I think they're incorporated very well in this
series.
All right, all right.
Then you can do an addendum if you
think the clips are weak.
Why just Jesse Waters?
It just irks him.
Well, I'm sorry, this will be the last
time.
I'm now banning him.
Instead of defending the taxpayers, the media is
defending the government.
Here's 60 Minutes.
People are really scared.
I think that, you know, 12 days ago,
people knew where their next paycheck was coming
from.
They knew how they were...
I'm sorry, that's wrong one.
You have more than...
That's the right one.
It leads into the German stuff.
It's a four-parter.
Okay.
60 Minutes?
You don't have to do a teenage sigh.
I'll just have an apple in my room.
People are really scared.
I think that, you know, 12 days ago,
people knew where their next paycheck was coming
from.
They knew how they were...
Wait a minute.
Back off.
Stop.
What?
Is that some reference?
An apple in my room?
Okay.
This is Aunt Gigi.
I've told you about Aunt Gigi.
Aunt Gigi, who was my mom's aunt, she
would, whenever she was upset about something, she
would do the Gigi sigh.
It's a big thing in our family.
Yeah, you do it.
And here it is.
Okay.
I'll just have an apple in my room
then.
That's what Aunt Gigi would say when she
was on the losing side of an argument.
Wow.
They're going to pay for their kids' daycare,
their medical bills, and then all gone overnight.
All gone overnight for Christina Drei and Adam
DuBard, fired this month in the chaotic shutdown
of foreign aid.
They're not looking for competency.
They're not looking for if you're good at
your job.
They're looking for pure loyalty tests.
And if you don't give it, you will
be punished.
There was no process.
No one explained to them why they were
being relieved.
To my knowledge, they received an email.
And then if they didn't leave the building,
they were escorted out of the building.
These people got generous buyouts, eight-month severance.
I'm sorry, but did CVS interview the fired
Keystone Pipeline workers, the fired Army officers who
refused the needle, or black Americans who lost
their job to migrants?
No.
That one lady was Samantha Powers' speechwriter.
She's no random civil servant.
She's the top flack for the USAID chief.
Funny.
I had that clip, too.
Only I had the original, and I could
have been Jesse Waters.
But no, why don't you just have no
agenda with John C.
Dvorak and Jesse Waters.
It's J&J, everybody.
If I could make half his salary, I'd
do it.
Okay.
This woman did show up before, and I
was trying to get the clip for the
last show, and he found it.
It's so poorly done that I ran it
through Adobe, and you can kind of understand
it.
But this woman, since then, it turns out
she works for some PR agency.
She's a phony.
But she was also spotted earlier.
Walt Waters brings this out in the next
clip.
Just last week, this same lady told ABC
she was pocketing her pride flags.
The networks are using the same victim over
and over.
Bush was in the building.
We took down our pride flags.
I took out any books I felt would
be incriminating.
No one was talking.
We heard they started taking transcripts automatically of
all of our Google Meets.
They unplugged the news in the little kitchen
galleys.
It didn't feel good.
And then Saturday, all of the websites went
down, and then I lost complete access to
my computer.
60 Minutes is CBS's premier investigative unit, and
they never mentioned the $20 million for Iraqi
Sesame Street, or sex changes in Guatemala, or
DEI operas, or all the dough spent on
failed coups.
Never mentioned it.
We're $36 trillion in debt.
We're cutting headcount, just like media organizations do
to balance their books, just like Clinton and
Gore did.
Yeah.
He did it again.
Yes.
On the clip.
I'm more interested in your analysis, not Jesse
Water's sniping.
I didn't get there.
I don't need to sound like him.
Well, you spent a lot of time editing
him out, so I will give you that.
Last week, Vance was in Germany and told
the chancellor to knock off the censorship and
step up their NATO spending.
And the American media sided with the Germans
and called Vance Hitler.
He was standing in a country where free
speech was weaponized to conduct a genocide.
And he met with the head of a
political party that has far right views and
some historic ties to extreme groups.
The context of that was changing the tone
of it.
And you know that, that the censorship was
specifically about the right.
I have to disagree with you.
Free speech was not used to conduct a
genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi
regime that happened to also be genocidal because
they hated Jews and they hated minorities and
they hated those that they had a list
of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
There was none.
It was illegal to criticize the Nazi government.
It was against the law to tell a
joke about Hitler and he had a dumb
mustache and one testicle.
Couldn't joke about it.
Newspapers were shut down.
Books were burned.
Radio stations were censored.
Free speech didn't trigger the Holocaust.
Okay, that was funny.
Yeah, I knew that.
I forgot about Hitler's one ball.
I forgot one ball Hitler.
I have the book.
I was Hitler's doctor, which discusses the one
ball.
That has to be a noagendafund.com, another
no agenda book recommendation.
I don't know if you can find it.
It's a very collectible book.
And here's the final clip where they go
collectible.
That's me.
You know, I'm the collector.
You're a collector.
I know.
And so this is where he wraps it
up and brings in the clip that you
wanted to hear.
On the same day, CBS celebrated an armed
raid in Germany because a guy posted a
cartoon.
It's 601 on a Tuesday morning and we
were with state police as they raided this
apartment in Northwest Germany.
Inside, six armed officers searched the suspect's home,
then seized his and cell phone.
Prosecutors say those electronics may have been used
to commit a crime.
The crime, posting a racist cartoon online.
And it's a crime to insult them online
as well?
Yes.
If somebody posts something that's not true and
then somebody else reposts it or likes it,
are they committing a crime?
In the case of reposting, it is a
crime as well because the reader can't distinguish
whether you just invented this or just reposted
it.
Germany is letting migrants into the country who
are committing gang rape and they have cops
kicking down doors over a cartoon.
CBS is defending Germany.
Yeah, I don't have to play the other
clips.
People can listen to them in the show
notes.
But yes, I had no idea, no idea
that Germany was that crazy about it.
I thought it was only the UK, but
the Germans are equally, if not just worse
with, oh, if you offend somebody, certainly if
it's a politician, you can get a 3
,000-euro fine.
They knock on your door at six in
the morning.
What?
I was unaware of this.
I was too.
And I got a DM from one of
our German producers who was...
Did he send you a copy of the
cartoon?
Because I can't find it.
A DM?
What does that have to do with a
cartoon?
Well, I mean, I got the phone ringing
now.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I'll read...
Yeah, I'm right here with the phone so
I can do it.
Hello?
Put it up to the mic.
It was here.
Ah, hold on a second.
Let me open it up.
Here we go.
I'm sorry, what?
Hello?
My name is Joe.
Joe?
Joe.
Yeah, okay.
He's working with...
Yeah, go on.
Put it closer.
What?
Yeah, what's your purpose of calling?
Hold on.
Oh.
Oh, I owe your social security benefits.
Okay, send it away.
Thanks.
I appreciate it.
You really need a phone patch, man.
I do.
That was a good one.
It would have been great.
It would have been great for the show.
He's going to give me some free money.
Ah, I can't believe it.
Adam, you have no idea.
There's an election campaign in Germany sponsored by
the Initiative der Deutsche Privatradios, Podcasts und Streams,
which are all government-approved, tax-funded podcasts.
So there's podcasts, but they're all government-approved
podcasts.
That's not why we invented podcasting, people.
Wow, that's bad.
I had...
This is actually kind of mind-blowing.
I was actually surprised by it.
If it wasn't for the...
Not 60 Minutes, but that other report where
they busted into the guy's house and CBS
played it straight.
So you think that's a crime?
Yeah, it's a crime.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's a crime.
And nobody pushed back and said, this is
crazy.
And that one...
The one prosecutor, she was kind of cute,
young.
No, CBS did not push back, did not
say, this is crazy.
And as a small point of contention, it's
not free speech.
People have to stop saying that.
It's freedom of speech.
Have you noticed this?
That it's coming into...
Well, it's free speech.
Well, speech is free, but it's freedom of
speech.
I don't know why it irks me, but
it does.
It does.
I don't know why it irks you.
Wait, wait.
No, no, you have to...
You have to do a clicking sound.
I can't do a clicking.
Like that?
Yeah.
And then followed by, I'll just have an
apple in my room.
I'll just have a...
That's the silliest thing ever.
It depends on Gigi.
She was the best.
Well, another prediction comes true.
The pivot is here.
I've been waiting for it.
And once again, I am right.
The pivot from AI to quantum computing.
Microsoft says it has created a new chip
that shows quantum computing is much closer than
recently believed.
Quantum computers hold the promise of carrying out
calculations that would take today's systems millions of
years.
But the fundamental building block of quantum computers,
called a qubit, is extremely difficult to control
and prone to errors.
Get control it!
Maya Rana-1 chip is less prone to
those errors than rivals, providing as proof a
scientific paper set to be published in academic
journal Nature.
The chip has been in the works for
nearly two decades and has a new type
of material.
This is Microsoft's Chetan Nayak in a video
provided by the company.
It's called a topological superconductor or topoconductor for
short.
Topoconductor!
And this is something that people have hypothesized
for decades.
But no one had really reliably created this
in the laboratory or been able to harness
it for quantum information processing.
Google last year showed off its own new
quantum chip, saying that commercial applications are only
five years away.
IBM said large scale quantum computers will be
online by 2033.
Microsoft did not give a timeline for when
its chip would be scaled up to quantum
computers that can outpace today's machines.
But in a blog post, the company said
it would be, quote, years, not decades.
And we go to our resident computer expert,
John C.
Dvorak, to tell us about the future of
quantum computing.
John.
They can't get it to work.
Why is Microsoft saying that it's only a
few years away?
They've picked up the strategy from, you know,
you're not in the news cycle anymore.
You pick up the strategy from IBM.
You make some sort of statement because everyone's
jacked about, oh, quantum computing, quantum computing.
I had almost had a clip.
What was this?
I can't remember what the source was, but
it was something.
It was either on Fox or one of
these networks.
And someone said, well, oh, yeah, it was
Harrison Faulkner, that black woman on the outnumbered
show.
She said, well, the things will be different
when we get quantum computing.
She says out of the blue.
She brings she doesn't know quantum computing from
a hole in the wall.
Neither does anybody else.
Why would you bring it up?
Because it's the pivot, because we have a
problem.
A.I. What's the problem?
A.I. sucks.
It's not it's not delivering.
Well, for what it does, it does a
very, very fine job on both sides.
Yeah, but it's losing money.
This is the problem.
Well, there is that it's losing.
We're not talking about that.
You know, I want to I put it
in the show now, so I'm not going
to read it.
But one of our machine learning.
Yeah, that's you know, I'm all in machine
learning.
If you want to call that A.I.
OK, machine learning is a real thing.
It's been around for a long time.
It does.
And before it was A.I., it was
machine learning.
It was machine learning.
Yes, machine learning.
Oh, now it's called A.I. And it's
called A.G.I., which is a general
intelligence or generative intelligence.
We have a super intelligence.
They're always coming with something new.
Oh, we put the quantum computing and Bitcoin
will be broken.
This this producer said if, if, if, if
it ever gets to artificial general intelligence, he
said it will probably be like data on
Star Trek and completely autistic.
And I think that's probably true.
That will be the level of A.I.
that we're going to get.
And so this is just the new shiny
toy.
And I think Microsoft, they did something.
Yeah, you're right.
They saw a marketing opportunity.
And they jumped on it.
And it's also cool because, you know, you
get to say, well, you know, these things,
they have to be so.
And you get to say the word qubits.
Qubits, yes.
This is a good tip, by the way.
You've done this a little early for the
tip of the day.
If you want to look smart in the
bar around the ladies, just say, I'm working
on the qubits in quantum computing.
Yeah, they'll flock to you, these girls.
The girls love the Qubit.
Tell me more.
The Qubit talk is very successful.
I guarantee it.
Now, I and Microsoft has a pretty good.
How are they marketing wise, do you think?
Do you think they can pick this ball
and make it run?
And because, you know, they were, they're basically.
You'll never hear another word.
Really?
You think this is just a one and
done?
They're not going to pick it.
I mean, everyone on CNBC is all Microsoft.
How's it going to affect?
Nobody.
I love the Qubits.
And once come on, well, you know, quantum
computing is a marriage.
And what it can do is it gets
all as well as a subzero temperatures and
bizarre.
It's great.
The Qubits, and it doesn't do one.
So here's just one zero at the same
time.
Times four.
It's four times.
Bitcoin is going to break.
It always ends with that.
I saw Scott Adams post the other day.
Yeah.
Well, we have to, you're not doing it
right.
You have to get it.
It's more of a release, like, like, let
your whole body just go.
I'm trying to get working on it.
You're leaving out the last gasp, you know,
that's almost dead.
And then that's my, my version of it
is this.
It's not good.
It's not good enough.
And this is, and I need to say
something about this.
Well, let me, let me set it up
with a clip because we did have an
interesting aviation incident.
This video shows passengers evacuating from their plane
after a crash landed and flipped upside down
at Toronto's Pearson Airport.
As we made our touchdown, it was just
a very forceful event where all of a
sudden everything just kind of went sideways.
And then the next thing I know is
kind of a blink and I'm upside down,
still strapped in.
Everyone on that plane suddenly became very close
in terms of how to help one another,
how to console one another.
And, and that was powerful.
The aircraft came down fast, landing so hard
that it lost its right wing, then burst
into flames on the runway.
By some miracle, no one was killed, while
21 were injured.
It's really important to recognize how grateful we
are that there was no loss of life
or life-threatening injuries in yesterday's accident.
The airport CEO said that their two longest
runways remained closed as investigators examined the aircraft
on site to try to determine what caused
the accident.
It's possible wintry weather conditions may have played
a part.
After days of record snowfall, the airport was
experiencing blowing snow and gusts of 65 kilometers
an hour at the time of the crash.
Questions also remain as to why the plane
is missing its right wing.
So, I don't know.
I don't think the pilot's identity has been
released yet.
Yes, because Endeavor Airlines or Endeavor, the company
that runs that particular series of planes, supposedly
is all DEI women.
Okay, so that's exactly the point that I
want to push back against.
They have a marketing video and it's like,
we're unmanned, we're all women, and they got
the hottest chicks who I doubt are pilots.
Oh, yeah.
Have you seen the video?
I saw the video.
I didn't see they were that hot.
Well, trust me.
Except there's a fat guy in there at
the end.
Okay, so they're marketing.
This is you.
I didn't realize that you just do this
constantly.
Every time anyone says anything, you do that
noise.
It's a curry thing.
But you could follow up by saying, I'll
just have a persimmon in my room or
something like that.
Persimmons are delicious.
They are, if they're mushy.
Okay, so that was...
No, the hard ones I like too.
So that was their marketing.
The pilot on the radio, I don't know
if that was the pilot in command, was
a guy, was a man who sounded very,
very authoritative as they were coming in for
the landing.
But, you know, not every crash is like...
Our whole airlines are not staffed with only
DEI.
It's become a little annoying.
I have flown with many women.
I've had one of my instructors was a
woman and I...
Some people believe that women are better pilots
because they have a lighter touch and they
don't try to force things.
I don't know about that.
I see no difference.
I've been in very, very poor conditions.
Flying with a female instructor, I was very
impressed.
There's no difference except...
And by the way, Abby was like 5
'1".
She had to sit on a cushion and
she is a fantastic pilot.
She's now actually at a regional airline.
She got scooped away.
Who's Abby?
She was my instructor here when I'm flying
the Cirrus planes.
So it's just bullcrap.
Was there a problem for white straight men
getting a job?
Yes, absolutely.
That doesn't mean that all pilots suck.
And so before I get to the accident
itself, which everyone is just speculating based upon
a video, which is a pretty decent video
of the crash.
The people who need to be celebrated in
this case, at least one but probably two
women, are the flight attendants.
This is what people are missing in this
whole thing.
This plane is upside down.
You don't know if it's going to burst
into flames.
These flight attendants are helping people get out
of the plane.
They probably help people unbuckle who are hanging
upside down.
These are the real heroes here that no
one ever talks about.
And that's what they're trained to do.
They are not just there to serve you
your Sprite or your coffee.
They are there for your safety.
And I think they performed very well.
That one video, some guys like, oh yeah,
I better film this while I'm getting out
of the crashed airplane.
Okay, that tells you a lot about our
society.
But there's the flight attendant standing right there,
helping everybody get out.
Those people, you must thank your flight attendants.
So we don't know exactly what happened.
Breaking news, nobody knows anything.
It does look like the plane had a
hard landing.
We'll get all the details once we have
all the flight data recorded in the cockpit
voice recorder.
It could be that it was so hard
that the landing gear collapsed.
Because what ultimately happened is the right wing
touched the ground, dug into the ground, which
was mainly snow covered.
It could have also been that there was
a bank of snow on the right.
These are pretty low, low wings on the
on the right.
The CRJ and that the hard landing, you
know, the wings are flexible.
Boom, hit the ground.
And of course, the reason why, you know,
why it turned over is because that right
wing got ripped off, which was good because
all the explosion happened behind the plane as
it's moving forward.
The left wing still has lift, flips it
over.
And that was also good, really, because the
fuselage didn't have time to break apart because
the tail then becomes an anchor.
And I mean, you walk away from it,
great landing.
So we don't know exactly what happened.
It could be mechanical with the gear to
everybody I know and myself.
It looked like that was a hard landing.
There was no flare, which is when you
pull back just before you land.
Could it have been a wind gust that
stopped all of a sudden?
We don't know at this moment.
We don't know.
You caught me flat footed on the last
show.
About what?
About the multiplex of aviation communications.
You really caught me off guard.
I'm like, wow.
And we don't have to.
I got nothing but notes about this.
And the whole thing boils down to one
letter that came in from one of our
guys, one of our producers that said, look,
yeah, it's doable if you want to drop
billions of dollars into rejiggering the whole system
to an extreme.
It's not worth it.
Because and I had to agree.
And I said, well, you know, these incidents,
these have duplex incidents are so as a
problem.
Once the last does it happen all the
time?
No, it happened this one time, maybe.
And it was just like part of a
larger complex of problems.
OK, I bail on the whole thing.
There was just one other point that as
I thought about it, which I must have
gotten 20 emails I mean, I am always
blown away by the level of expertise in
every area.
It's pretty funny, actually.
You know what's funny?
Let me just just interrupt you for a
second here.
It's really amazing to me the kind of
expertise and the experiences we have as a
general audience and so far as our producers
are concerned.
But yet I can't get a sweatshirt or
a hoodie from Ohio State.
A fan of the football team that won
the national championship.
Instead, I got a bib from one of
the producers who sent a baby bib of
Ohio State baby bib.
That should tell you when I was when
I was at over at Twit Twit, they
would get plenty of sweatshirts from people.
But no, all we have, we have a
lot of experts, but nobody that seems to
have a degree from Ohio State.
Well, there you go.
I'll call JD.
Maybe JD Vance can help you out.
The one thing I wanted to add to
it is that in the current system, because
it is half duplex and when you key
up, you know, no one no one else
can talk basically.
Well, they can, but then no one hears
anything.
It has created a very strict protocol of
waiting your turn.
And because you're listening much better and it's
not digital, it's analog.
So, you know, some guys like this, you
know, you're really listening much better.
You have a much better overall situational awareness.
I mean, what you're basically saying or what
you questioned would be the equivalent of a
party line.
If it was a party line, anybody could
just talk up whenever they wanted to.
It would be a complete mess.
There'd be no procedural discipline.
And also add to that that one frequency
like this, one frequency here at our airport
in Gillespie, that's used for three other airports
around.
And so, you know, you would be confused.
I said, wait a minute.
If you're just coming in loud and clear
and everybody's everybody's full duplex, it could be
very, it could be much more dangerous.
So, but you did it.
You caught me flat footed.
I was, I was like, holy crap.
I had never thought about this.
No, you're not doing it right.
By the way, anonymous air traffic controller says,
I am so happy Doge is getting into
the FAA.
He says, thank goodness.
He says the union is the problem.
The union boondogglers and union leadership officials and
local and national positions are terrified of being
forced back into the facility to actually work
as controllers.
There's a whole layer of middle management that
does nothing.
As you know that, yeah, I don't have
any, a lot of clips.
There's a couple of the super clips about
this where they blame Trump for this wreck.
Oh, yeah, of course.
Yeah.
And so I do have at least one
thing that kind of incorporates what you just
said, which is the Gail King on, on
the morning show.
She's, she goes out, she uses this thesis
against, and she's got the Delta CEO on
who explained something to her.
And this is a clip Delta CEO versus
Gail King.
No, the Trump administration recently fired many employees
of the FAA administration.
Do those cuts, do those cuts worry you?
And do you think that impacts the safety?
I know you just said it's the safest
way to travel.
But after looking at all these mishaps, a
lot of people are very nervous.
Do these cuts affect you?
The cuts do not affect us, Gail.
I've been in close communication with the secretary
of transportation.
I understand that the cuts at this time
are something that are raising questions.
But the reality is there's over 50,000
people that work at the FAA and the
cuts, I understand, were 300 people and they
were in non-critical safety functions.
The Trump administration has committed to investing deeply
in terms of improving the overall technologies that
are used in the air traffic control systems
and modernizing the skies.
They've committed to hiring additional controllers and investigators
and safety investigators.
So no, I'm not concerned with that at
all.
Completely true.
And what the anonymous controller said, what would
really improve the air traffic system is two
things, weather radar and communication lines.
These two systems are from the 60s.
Weather radar is so delayed that what air
traffic depicts is sometimes not even relatively close
to what pilots see on their iPads.
And then the systems go down, they have
to call in, they have to dial in
eight digit numbers to reconnect.
So they're actually working with very outdated radar
technology.
That's something that could be easily upgraded.
So there was some interesting news that came
out that Alex Berenson was all just going
nuts about.
Nuts!
Top Yale scientists have found T-cell exhaustion
and prolonged spike protein production in some COVID
vaccine recipients.
And they are saying that, well, it looks
like these people have HIV virus, which I'm
pretty sure we talked about on the show
was actually found in these vaccines.
This was the French Nobel Prize guy that
brought it up.
When he first looked at the breakdown of
the genetics of the COVID itself, he saw
it in there and he thought that maybe
this was part of a system that was
going to be used as a way of
vaccinating against HIV.
And that's why it was hanging in there.
Well, so now what's happening, and it's very
obvious, Deborah Birx, Rear Admiral Birx, is out
on a PR tour.
Yeah.
And her whole, as far as I can
tell, her mission is one thing, is to
say it's long COVID and to steer you
away from noticing that long COVID may in
fact be a vaccine injury and may in
fact be not that you have full blown
AIDS, but that your immune system is weakened
by the insertion of the HIV virus.
Here she is with the Cuomo kid.
Comparisons to HIV.
You've done a ton of research in this.
He's read in, by the way.
There's no there's no reason that he starts
off by saying, well, comparisons to HIV.
What?
Comparisons to HIV.
You've done a ton of research in this.
Do you believe this is a false flag?
Is there something that contextually people need to
understand about that comparison?
Or is this much darker a potential reality
than we knew?
The reason the comparison to HIV is important
is because HIV was also asymptomatic.
I mean, you couldn't see the virus through
symptoms because people were infected for seven, eight,
nine years before they developed symptoms.
No, no.
You killed them with your interferon rejected cancer
drug.
That's what happened, allegedly.
But HIV quietly destroyed our immune system.
And we learned a lot about immunology from
HIV.
And it's changed completely our cancer therapy.
Thank you.
Klipkosodium AZT.
Yes, we're learning now about mitochondria and viral
impact and brain fog.
And the changes in our neurons and the
cells that nourish our neurons that really allow
us to think and move.
And we're learning that because of what COVID
has done.
And so there's two sides of this coin
every time.
There's a lot of destruction that mild and
moderate COVID can do that is on scene,
just like HIV was destroying our immune system.
But what came out of that is brilliant
science that changed how we treated HIV.
And if you're diagnosed today, you can live
a very normal lifespan and people not only
survive, but thrive.
We need to get to the place where
people with long COVID, we've done the research
so that people with long COVID can not
only survive, but thrive.
I mean, she's literally saying you've got HIV,
which, by the way, HIV, there was no
reason for it to kill people.
But with full development of AIDS, in my
opinion, I'm not a scientist, but I saw
a lot of people die after they went
into the hospital after a PCR test for
the equivalent with AIDS.
And it was staring us in the face
the whole time.
She and Fauci were the AIDS team together.
And now she's out and you're going to
see it.
It's they're going to say, well, it's, you
know, long COVID is kind of like HIV.
It's the same.
It may be actual HIV does not mean
you're going to die, does not have to
mean that at all.
That was, in my opinion, one of the
largest, horrible scams before COVID.
And now here she is with the panel,
although it's mainly her speaking in these clips
on Pierce Morgan doing the same thing.
I got to travel the country for many
months during COVID working at the state level
and the community level.
And what I witnessed was a lot of
undiagnosed disease that could have been treated early
that then resulted in COVID deaths.
And I saw a health system that had
completely deteriorated in our rural areas.
Our rural areas really don't have access to
health care anymore.
And the hub and spoke model that we
had set up to get really sick people
into the regional medical centers, they were overwhelmed
themselves.
So COVID pointed out a lot of our
issues with chronic disease, like with early HIV,
when we started, we were only treating those
with symptoms.
Well, that was the tip of the iceberg.
When we finally started working and finding asymptomatic
individuals and getting on getting them on treatment
early before they had evidence of disease, they
could thrive.
Do you hear what she's doing?
This is a setup.
This is a huge setup to pivot.
To quantum computing, to pivot and say, well,
it's just like HIV, but we'll give you
this prep or whatever medicine they've got waiting
in the wings is probably the same muck
and you'll be able to thrive.
Don't worry about it.
We'll cure you of your long COVID.
And oh, by the way, here she is
lying, outright lying.
And what we've done wrong in public health
is we didn't explain that COVID vaccines were
nothing like the childhood vaccines and that the
childhood vaccines, like many of the diseases, you
get it once, you don't get it again,
and this is getting the children to have
that disease without getting the deadly consequences.
Wow, boy, they may not have said it
exactly like that, but they sure made it
sound like that.
What is your recollection, John?
Well, a couple of things.
First of all, I don't subscribe necessarily to
the fact that she's, that this is vaccine
damage.
JC, who had the original COVID, had long
COVID and he never got a shot.
So I'm not, and we know that the
HIV was part of the COVID-19 genome
itself.
So I think there's some elements there that
aren't being discussed or ignored.
So I'm not convinced that this thesis of
yours is completely correct.
Now, what I do remember, though, is yes,
they were totally on board with 100%
effectiveness.
In fact, they jacked it up from like
80% effective to 90%.
Then it was 100% safe and effective.
They were injecting pregnant women.
And they were injecting pregnant women, which should
never have been done because it was emergency
use authorization.
It wasn't even a regular product.
But now it was, it was, no, I'm
not arguing that.
That's for sure.
I just don't know what this woman's up
to.
Well, listen, that is not what the COVID
vaccine was designed to do.
It wasn't designed to prevent against infection.
And if you look at the vaccine hesitancy
rates, they've doubled since COVID.
It wasn't designed to protect against infection.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, that's just a blatant lie.
So we have to start addressing these things.
It's a blatant lie.
And Debra, let me ask you, let me
ask you, Debra.
I mean, given that you were the face
of COVID.
Play back her old clips.
Yeah, exactly.
The Trump presidency at the time.
Do you share, this doctor who I was
with, do you share the concerns about the
longer-term negative impact of some of the
COVID vaccines?
The messenger RNA vaccine should have been rolled
out for the people that were at risk
for severe disease, because that's what the vaccine
was developed for.
Oh, pregnant mothers.
But when we say that we're following the
science and the data, we need to follow
the science and the data.
And the science and the data said people
primarily over 65 or people with significant comorbidities
were at risk for severe disease.
Oh, it should have only, we only supposed
to kill off old people.
Got it.
Those are the individuals that should have been
immunized first.
And we should have put our science behind
our immunization schedule.
You kept telling us it was the science.
All I heard was follow the science.
That's the science.
The science is in.
It's the science.
Here, get a burger.
Get your shot.
Follow the science.
And protected those most at risk.
It went into young people in hospitals before
it went into our elderly and nursing homes.
That is not following the science and the
data.
So I am all for following the science
and the data.
But it should just be a statement.
It should be a reality.
And when we don't match what we do
in public health to the science and the
data, that is when we get into trouble.
And that's when we start to fracture trust
with the American people.
Oh, man.
I like the science and data.
It's always the same science and data.
You know, this reminds me of safe and
effective.
And the current one on the right, of
course, is waste, fraud and abuse.
Yes.
It's not waste, abuse and fraud or fraud
or just waste.
It's waste, fraud and abuse.
And they say it.
I mean, if someone wants to put a
supercut together, you could have everybody on Fox
and half the people on the other network
saying waste, fraud and abuse as though it
was a mantra.
Yes, yes, that's true.
I'm just very disturbed by this campaign she's
on.
And you're right.
Why isn't Pierce playing a supercut of her
saying safe and effective?
Follow the science.
It's all good.
You got to get it, moms.
You got to get it.
Oh, everybody has to.
You got to have a booster.
Got to have three boosters.
Got to have four boosters.
Got to have five boosters.
Six, six boosters.
You got to have all that.
People lost their job.
People lost their jobs.
I can't believe she's.
It's an apology tour.
She is never without a mission.
She is never without a mission, this woman.
Well, I think maybe the mission is the
apology tour because they want to keep MRNA
in play.
No kidding.
Because, you know, Stargate, we're going to solve
cancer, by the way, while we're on it.
Hold on a second.
Here we go.
According to a new report on cancer, cancer
is appearing more than ever before in women
and younger adults as well.
For the first time in years, men and
women now have nearly the same cancer risk.
It's a shift driven by a rise in
cancer cases among women under 50.
According to the 2025 report from the American
Cancer Society, cancer diagnosis in younger adults are
increasing at a steady rate.
And overall, people under 65.
What could it be?
Are seeing cancer rates climb between one to
three percent compared to older adults.
And that's challenging the long held belief that
cancer is primarily a disease of aging.
OK, then we have this report.
Heart attacks are still rare for young people,
but lately the rates are rising.
What?
According to the Smith Heart Institute, people 25
to 44 saw a nearly 33 percent increase
in heart attack deaths since 2020.
Since 2020.
What could have changed since 2020?
I'm trying.
I'm racking my brain.
And thanks for the people.
Thanks for the 30, 30, 20, 20, 20.
Chances are, if you or if you know
10 people, you'll have met or at least
two of those people will have had a
heart attack.
Dr. Zachariah Neely, a cardiologist with Riverside Health,
says there are several reasons behind this, like
a lack of exercise, a rise in obesity
and even marijuana consumption.
That's what it is.
Traditionally, it's been viewed as a safer alternative
to tobacco.
Marijuana and marijuana products actually seem to be
just as, if not more pro inflammatory, as
well as putting you at risk for heart
disease and heart attacks in the future.
According to the CDC, heart disease is the
leading cause of death in the US.
These these lying people and the pharmaceutical industry,
oh, we better do something before before RFK
Junior gets in.
Get your flu shot.
On the medical watch for you this afternoon,
it is the worst flu season to hit
the US in 15 years.
The CDC reports there have been at least
29 million estimated cases so far this season.
There have been 16,000 deaths, though, as
of February.
They've got more refrigerated truck morgues.
68 kids have died.
There have been also a minimum of 370
,000 hospitalizations this season, maybe more severe due
to falling vaccination rates in recent years for
some groups, including children.
I believe 16,000 is actually low.
It's typically it's more in the 30 to
60,000.
Well, those numbers are dubious.
OK, we had to be during the covid
period.
We found these numbers were dubious.
There was zero.
There was zero during covid.
There were no flu deaths.
Zero.
It went away.
The flu was gone.
It's crazy.
But wait, we have breaking news.
We have an outbreak.
The measles outbreak in rural West Texas has
grown to 58 cases as of today.
And I'll wait until you hear the cause
of this.
I can tell you.
Can you guess?
Can you guess who?
Mallory's.
No, no.
Experts believe it jumped the state line into
eastern New Mexico, with eight people now diagnosed
with that highly contagious virus.
Public health officials in New Mexico have said
they suspect some of the state's cases are
linked to the Texas outbreak, but have not
confirmed it yet.
In Texas, 13 people are hospitalized.
State health officials say it's the largest outbreak
in 30 years there.
The cases in Texas are concentrated in a
close knit, under-vaccinated Mennonite community where many
children are homeschooled or taught in private religious
schools.
It's the religious freaks.
It's their fault.
Blame it on them.
The Mennonites.
What are Mennonites, by the way?
What is there?
It's like an Amish.
Oh.
It's a spin-off.
It's a different group, but I think it's
similar.
Ah, it's a subgroup.
Okay.
And then finally...
Or an overgroup.
Maybe they may be the progenitors.
I'm not sure.
I should know.
We should both know this.
Yeah, we should know.
We're both Americans.
These are Americans we're talking about.
We should know what the deal is, and
we don't.
It just sounds like, ooh, Mennonites.
Ooh, they're the cause of measles.
Oh, no.
And then finally, ah, yes.
Let's just reiterate why we need Ozempic to
be on Medicare.
There may be yet another use for the
drugs Ozempic and Lugovine beyond diabetes and weight
loss.
A new study shows the active ingredient, semaglutide,
may also help reduce alcohol cravings in people
with alcohol use disorder.
That's a condition where a person can't stop
drinking alcohol or has become dependent on it.
In the study, people injected with semaglutide had
reduced alcohol cravings in fewer heavy drinking days.
Roughly 400 million people suffer with alcohol use
disorder around the world.
I have the I have the the data
sheet here as to how that works.
Why people stop drinking while on Ozempic.
It's because.
Probably because they're nauseous.
No, they can't find the bottle because they
go blind.
Yeah.
Long way.
Yeah, it was necessary.
Um, 11 second truth wants to come out.
I want a truth wants to come out.
Obviously, Sean Hannity promoting Laura Trump's new program.
All right.
Joining us now, the host of the upcoming
hit show, My View with Laura Trump.
And by the way, take that to the
bank.
It will be a hit show.
Laura shit.
He says Laura shit.
Laura's shit of the upcoming hit show my
view with Laura shit Trump and by the
way take that to the bank it will
be a hit show.
Laura's shit what is it what was in
his mind?
The show probably Laura Trump doesn't seem to
have that the personality to pull off a
show.
I don't know why she you know you
know the Fox is gonna change which will
be interesting as you know Rupert Murdoch has
been trying to change his irrevocable trust which
is kind of like huh isn't it irrevocable
for the fact that it's irrevocable and he
wanted he wanted to not have his his
liberal children to get control of Fox News
and News Corp.
He wanted to give it to the to
Lachlan.
Lachlan that went this more middle of the
road.
Yeah well it looks like that's not gonna
happen.
So what will happen to Fox News?
It'll be like CNN and MSNBC.
What will happen to Gutfeld?
Although I have to say I have to
mention this because I had done radio work
for KSFO and KGO.
Oh you've done radio work have you?
Yes I have and the guy who and
the guy I can't remember his name I
should remember his name but the station manager
for KGO which was very had a bunch
of liberals on there were yakking away about
stuff to talk radio in the old days.
He also ran the most conservative station which
was the other one I guess it was
KSFO but he the same guy whose name
will come to me he was he could
do he's he himself was a rampant liberal
but he had no problem running a money
-making organization that had nothing but conservative talk
radio in fact where Rush Limbaugh ended up.
So it's possible you don't have to you
know if you're a money maker yeah you
know you can say well you know I'm
not going with the MSNBC stuff because that
just loses money.
Well maybe his liberal children don't care about
making money they've got their money.
They're gonna do it for America.
What kind of a break how was these
how were these kids raised?
They're gonna do it for America well he
had eight wives I mean who knows who
raised them you don't know you don't know
if we were running the show we'd know
what to do.
What?
I don't know we'd know what to do
we'd have on doing what's her name Becky
what's the name of that woman you kept
that did the sigh?
Aunt Gigi?
Aunt Gigi yes I gotta write that down
I'm gonna forget.
Welcome to Fox News with Aunt Gigi and
with that I want to thank you for
your courage say in the morning to you
the man who put the C's in the
topo conductor say hello to my friend on
the other end his name is Mr. John
C.
DeVore yes I'm here without my echo box
uh in the morning to you Mr. Adam
Crane in the morning ship's seat boots on
the ground feet in the air subs in
the water and all the dames and knights
out there oh no no echo box this
is a problem let me count the trolls
we have a 2042 2042 in the troll
room Nico's sign by the way is put
together a a troll count average a web
page for me to consult and so the
last show then our numbers are gonna all
be skewed no no so they're all gonna
be in terms of our history no he
has everything he's got the whole countless okay
so the last show Thursday was 1844 so
we're well above that we're 200 above almost
yeah and the average is about 14 so
we're way over the last 10 shows on
Thursday has been 2050 the last 100 shows
has been 1892 that's the average see this
is this is good data for what well
to fill up time obviously it's just to
talk about stuff I like it he's got
a good and he's working on it so
when he's ready then then I'll then I
will let everyone find it and launch it
so they can count themselves have yourself be
counted please be a member anyway I'm part
of a big group the trolls are in
the troll room at troll room.io and
of course they're there to be our live
studio audience to assist in times of necessity
and to troll which is really the the
best thing they do they're very very good
at trolling and we appreciate that you can
also listen to it on any of the
modern podcast apps to be found at podcast
apps.com today I recommend fountain there's a
new version of fountains a lot of a
lot of comments now and there all kinds
of stuff and of course the the big
feature is when you when you subscribe to
the no agenda podcast you'll get it within
96 seconds of us posting the podcast or
when we go live you'll get the bat
signal you'll get a notification you tap it
and you're listening live at home at work
or in the car where you live work
and play is beautiful podcast apps.com we
want to thank people who support us as
John rightly pointed out we don't get any
government money no USAID cash it seems like
in Germany we could make a killing we
do a pretty good job there with the
government podcast system which would be kind of
fun instead we ask you to contribute value
back to us and so all of those
people who sent us notes like the anonymous
controller like the many radio experts it's just
so so much everyone's an expert at something
when you hear something come up it will
probably be wrong correct us we're not wrong
we're not always wrong but sometimes we're wrong
and people correct us we've been wrong we've
been they put us back on about something
a couple weeks ago they put us back
on the center line it's good it's appreciated
it's time talent and treasure we have artists
who participate gladly in trying to get us
the best possible album art for to use
for each episode taunta neil man she did
not like this this one we chose for
uh episode 1739 which she titled hype hypophora
um she she was mad about it kind
of why well she said this is the
most infantile piece of crap now i'm paraphrasing
but she thought it was lame she thought
you know the other foot the other football
uh art was better there was no blood
you know she wanted blood she wanted blood
people bludgeoning each other she just thought it
was lame someone just typed in some things
into a prompt and there it is that's
all they did i i think she's just
hurt he's hurt why what does she do
that was so great well she's done lots
of great art what are you talking about
i'm talking about on that for that show
in particular no she was just saying it
in general in general we she was critiquing
okay i have the solution start a blog
she was correct about the she thought the
boxing soccer was uh very poorly placed uh
it was a bad color which we both
agree is correct oh yeah no i i
we both i said when we picked it
i said the problem was but it's too
small boxing soccer was way too small yes
but you agreed yes but we picked it
because we thought it was funny it was
funny yeah it was definitely funny and it
was the one i liked the most was
the tan staffles which i guess is some
sort of cookie oh no it's it's an
acronym we've been through that before i mean
i don't yes we have yes we have
but he did a or he she did
a uh plate glass window thing as a
free lunch tan stoffel is the acronym there
there's no such thing as a free lunch
there ain't no such thing as a free
lunch there ain't no such thing as a
free lunch yes exactly so which one did
tan stoffel do he did the the stained
glass window that was pretty you use that
for the newsletter i saw use it for
the newsletter i liked it a lot i
was gonna i picked it as the as
the winner but it had no uh had
nothing to do with the show really just
was it was an evergreen yes and so
we both decided that the boxing soccer guys
with the coming out with their gloves on
yeah it was the way to go and
then there was nothing else what else was
there to pick that that taunted what did
tantan you recommend no she she just said
it was uh infantile and i'm like yeah
that's us in a nutshell yeah that's the
way it is i didn't disagree i didn't
disagree with a better argument i hope we
don't scare her away for good now no
she's she's sweet she's a sweet girl she's
an artist she puts up with guff yeah
guff exactly she she used to make scrapbooks
about me she did yeah she had a
crush on you oh yeah and she gave
the scrapbooks to me when i had the
meetup in amsterdam i they're i cherish them
you still have them oh yeah does tina
know about this first thing i when i
came home was i'd look at look at
these scrapbooks but i was uh i was
in i was a teen hearthrob this is
where you can do the oh um thank
you to all these artists many of these
pieces show up in the chapter art uh
in the modern podcast app so it's not
like you're not throwing your art away if
we don't pick it for the album art
i think most of these were used was
there anything else that we talked about you
kind of like the um the idea of
the samford the bay bridge underwater yeah i
did but it didn't quite uh didn't quite
it wasn't that good i mean it was
it was a good idea but i it
wasn't executed to the point that was actually
that was actually a tantanille there you go
well maybe that's what you want it was
that was a good the idea was outstanding
but it wasn't uh what was the problem
how could she how could she improve on
it what was the problem i think that
i think she could improve on it by
just not using it at all chasing away
artists one episode at a time oh goodness
gracious all right well uh thank you very
much to was it blue acorn i think
was blue acorn wasn't it blue acorn yeah
blue acorn who brought us the artwork for
episode 1739 we appreciate that we also like
to thank everybody who supports us financially it's
the third leg of the time talent and
treasure we thank everyone fifty dollars and above
never under fifty dollars for reasons of anonymity
there are people just don't want to be
even risk being mentioned we understand that and
of course no agenda donations.com is where
you can um set up a recurring donation
any amount any frequency i i need to
correct you though um there is no bitcoin
donation via stripe i heard about this from
jay this morning when she called with an
urgent call which is rare have you heard
from adam i said what she says the
bitcoin button which is on the stripe donation
page you saw it there it says crypto
not bitcoin hold on what it says crypto
not bitcoin so as you click on it
so wait bitcoin is crypto if i'm not
mistaken right it is a crypto the og
cryptocurrency yes og crypto yes and your choices
are stablecoin usdc which is the circle stablecoin
or you can use solana there is no
bitcoin i never even heard of solana oh
no it's very what about ether ethernet coin
there's no you cannot use ethernet coin either
but it's mainly you can see the move
towards stablecoin which is yeah well that's been
your thesis all along okay well you can't
use bitcoin then we'll find something else i'm
at least somebody tested it and i guess
you were going to donate to the show
yes i was going this i was going
you're right i was going to test it
and i'm like okay let's hope i can
do this anonymously and i click on the
crypto the first i had to enter some
bogus information about myself like what's your name
and your address okay john holden here we
go man i had some other address saved
in my browser some someone else's i have
no idea who it was and then i
and then i and then i click through
and then and it says so it says
usdc a stablecoin knowing that because i was
i was going to donate 200 in in
bitcoin and then and then talk about that's
what you say you had to donate the
dollar no no i wanted to make sure
it showed up so i could say look
we can do bitcoin i'm going to talk
to j i think there's a solution because
people want to send us their bitcoin they
do i know the catherine in the in
thailand she wants to send us a full
bitcoin yeah she's she's yeah bitcoin granny i
have john's attention full bitcoin yeah and she'll
get more than a bag of weed out
of it um so we like to start
with our executive and associate executive producers that
means you have donated two hundred dollars or
above that you get an associate executive producer
credit that is an actual hollywood credit how
do i why because you can use this
holly why yes i'm doing hypophora it's a
real hollywood credit why because you can actually
open up an im imdb account if you
don't have one and list it as your
credit there because it's valid and accepted by
the show business community and we'll read your
note and if you send us three hundred
dollars or above to support the value you
receive from the show you will get an
executive producer credit which again is just as
valid as anything from show business land and
we will read your note and we started
off with now it's you know we didn't
hear from him for a while and now
he's back as a regular synonymous of uh
dog patch and lower slobovia comes in once
again with two thousand two hundred and fifty
four dollars we have no idea what the
number means it is some kind of codes
who always you you double counted it i
hope make sure that we don't oh yeah
we always double can't mess up some operation
somewhere and he kicks off the wrong bridge
got blown up no and he kicks off
a slew of notes that are just too
long well the last yes all the notes
are too long today and i want to
excoriate people his note is too long but
it makes up for the very short note
he wrote last time so i think it
evens out from synonymous of dog patch and
lower slobovia the producer value is immeasurable my
thanks to all of you for your support
and insight john given your background how could
you discuss an abacus instead of the slide
rule yes well here's the reason the abacus
which is a great product i have a
a grandson named theo who is learning math
and it turns out that using an abacus
helps you do memorization math whereas the slide
rule never does so by showing him how
to use the abacus which i have done
it will help him in his future mathematical
within his own brain capabilities that's why the
kid's going to be a genius does he
go around cursing like you do actually doesn't
curse most kids don't curse until until they
meet you until their parents do it too
much they meet grandpa he said now he
says i would appreciate producers insights into llms
and sorry if this is long large language
models here we go the evolution from human
to electronic computers advanced using proven mathematical mathematical
formula and with more data sets increasing levels
of statistical certainty to predict the mathematical outcome
and in time the next word of series
or series of words unlike mathematic models the
underlying bedrock of llms is the highly dynamic
english language sources include the most published reference
books as different as different as the holy
quran translated many versions of the bible translated
the tara translated shakespeare dr soothe agatha agatha
christie jk rowling's daniel steele and jrr tolkien
tolkien which as the most published would start
with greater weighting sources like x facebook tick
tock sms messages and email provide an ever
-shifting source data on which llms rely evolving
definitions and memes complicate these dynamic shifts he's
setting us up here my question is why
could so-called hallucinations be the result of
poor statistical outcomes based on divergent language styles
in the reference data sets that because it
can only predict probabilities of word order using
in your sentence rules assemble sentences that capture
the most probable order unlike quantitative models based
on mathematics and statistics that are done generically
i expect llm prediction error rate declines as
the program identifies patterns from a specific user's
language style suggesting successful llms will become user
specific rather than broad-based solutions creating millions
of unique llms so-called training i'm on
board with that further quantitative models trace precedents
permitting the use to uncover formula errors or
flawed logic llms because they are english language
-based lift from a broad array of word
sources to develop its probability chain limiting user
ability to trace sources and uncover what created
the flawed outcome as already discussed on no
agenda these programs can certainly pull data from
copyright protected data without payment or attribution can
the publisher use blockchain to protect or allow
the llm to attribute brother adam as for
future data sources over 1 million books are
published in the us by large publishers and
another 3 million per year are self-published
books too many eggs to count don't worry
doge sizing hasn't found me i'm just busy
no jingles no karma if you want to
answer seronimous of dog patch and lois lobovia
we will read your note if you donate
2254 i have no idea what to say
to him well we have people out there
that have heard this they will probably re
-listen to it and they can contribute to
the discussion yes i was thinking about something
the other day though uh as they were
talking about intel being just the big coming
turning into kind of a uh the you
know the the progenitor of intel is actually
shockley semiconductors which then evolved into fairchild semiconductors
which then involved evolved into intel which then
devolved into what it is today i have
a chip in my collection the collection d
collection oh god an intel neural network chip
that they brought out i believe it was
in the 80s and this neural network chip
which is basically what kind of i mean
the neural networks are important to the use
to the large language models and it seems
to me that intel was on to this
whole idea early in the game during the
first iteration or his last not the first
but the last iteration we had in the
80s of artificial intelligence and then they dropped
the ball completely and that dropping the ball
right there with those that chip disappearing off
the face of the earth except in my
collection i uh who is has to be
responsible for their downfall yeah just getting into
ai in general now they're they're dead that's
right this is the future for all ai
companies and by the way i'm surprised you
didn't tell sir anonymous to get a blog
i'd rather have his note read by you
or a sub stack or something all right
onward we got a lot to do here

of their trees hmm all the trees last
forever yeah that's hundreds of years old and
then they're dropping dead because some bacteria willow

would like to call the other two out
as douchebags during covid i was expressing my
frustration from what i perceived were bloated numbers
of those dying with not of covid the
testing numbers the disappearance of the flu the
lockdowns insistence on mass social distancing the origin
story propaganda rushing of a vaccine etc etc
the johns directed me to no agenda and
i realized there was an awesome community of
people here that were not buying the insanity
either finding no agenda was a godsend and

supporting the best podcast in the universe our
formula is this we go out we hit
people in the mouth so
i have a wtf clip that i'd like
you to see if you can spot the
anomaly in this ntd clip about the new
york city tariff you know they have these
tolls i'm sorry tolls you know within the
city is congestion rules yeah it's not a
toll but it's a congestion air yeah congestion
fee i guess fee yeah well tell me
if you can find the the discrepancy in
this uh like what's wrong with this picture
nyc tolls do you want me to stop
it when i hear it or just let
it roll it's not that long the transportation
department under president trump has revoked its approval
of new york city's congestion toll it charges
drivers entering manhattan below 60th street here's how
new york governor kathy hokal responded in case
you don't know new yorkers we're in a
fight we do not back down not now
not ever i don't care if you love
congestion pricing or hate it this is an
attack on our sovereign identity our independence from
washington the department of transportation gave approval to
the program under the biden administration in late
2024 the trump administration says it's terminating the
program for two reasons one the congestion toll
provides no toll free option for drivers and
two the toll aims to raise revenue for
public transit rather than reduce congestion transportation secretary
sean doffy said in a statement quote new
york state's congestion pricing plan is a slap
in the face to working class americans and
small business owners it impedes the flow of
commerce into new york by increasing costs for
trucks which in turn could make goods more
expensive for consumers trump commented on the termination
quote congestion pricing is dead manhattan and all
of new york is saved new york's transit
and bridge authorities immediately filed a lawsuit challenging
the decision they accused the trump administration of
targeting the congestion toll for quote blatantly political
reasons okay um so first of all i
i would say that the um that the
sovereign identity from washington dc was kind of
weird but i think the all entry into
manhattan below 60th street isn't that all entry
into manhattan below 60th street well a lot
of it there's some up north you can
get in the the discrepancy in this report
is the following why did they send it
to the department of transportation under biden for
approval in the first place when trump just
reversed the approval how come it wasn't a
problem with their their sovereignty back when they
gave it to the biden administration to approve
it in the first place now that it's
disapproved oh all of a sudden it's a
big stink probably because they were getting some
of that sweet green money for doing it
yeah there was something that's what i'm thinking
hmm uh two quickies for you the first
one is uh looks like it's the end
of an era john pig butchering is coming
to an end now thailand is cracking down
on cyber scam networks run from labor camps
across its border with myanmar officials have arrested
suspected ring leaders and tried cutting power to
the compounds where thousands of people are made
to work and live this video shows some
of the foreigners being freed after having been
trafficked to the facilities in myanmar in the
camps they were allegedly forced and sometimes tortured
into targeting victims of online fraud around the
world the united nations says hundreds of thousands
of people have been lured to work in
compounds like this across southeast asia the gambling
town of shwe koko is one of the
sites that was recently raided you know the
thing is they showed the video of these
uh of these prisoners who were there they
had released not a single one of them
was a hot asian chick but i think
they they got the wrong camp makes no
sense yeah that's it um i had to
find a clip where they mentioned the fbi
so i could coin this right on time
exactly on schedule just before cash patel gets
in the fbi's six-week cycle yeah this
was a joint investigation involving the fbi the
montgomery county sheriff's office and the spring branch
isd police department i'm told the idea was
to place pipe bombs throughout memorial high school
and use guns to shoot at students to
plan in its early stages but multiple law
enforcement agencies told me the threat was credible
enough that they acted quickly within 30 minutes
of becoming aware of this plan they arrested
a 15 and 16 year old teenager girl
now spring branch isd police chief larry bainbridge
says they become aware of the threat yesterday
thanks to a source bainbridge says they arrested
a 16 year old girl she has since
been charged with third degree felony terroristic threat
charges we're told that student was a 10th
grader assigned to memorial high school but was
attending a separate school in the district that
is designed to help students that fall behind
the 15 year old student that was arrested
is in custody with the montgomery county sheriff's
office we are awaiting more details on her
but have not been told that she has
been charged yet and she was not a
spring branch isd student we have also reached
out to spring branch isd to the district
to find out if they have notified parents
and staff we spoke to a few students
and parents that were here as school let
out none of them were aware of this
situation we'll of course continue to ask questions
and keep you posted we're live in the
spring branch area bill barajas kprc 2 news
that was houston houston this morning actually i'm
sorry what houston it was in houston this
morning it happened this morning like a great
what was 15 16 year old girl with
a grand scheme to set up pipe bombs
all over the place and start shooting kids
yeah yeah that's yeah it makes sense logical
these damn 15 year olds are all that
way i wonder what ssris they were taking
uh oh how about this how about the
i got it one talk clip talk i
knew it i knew i knew he was
going to come in with the talk i
knew it somehow i knew it here wait
yeah yeah here's a woman there's a woman
who's divorcing her husband now first of all
this woman looks like she's 17 she might
be 20 but she's married and she's divorcing
her husband over an incident that happened at
the super bowl and she's fed up with
this guy because he booed taylor swift i'm
divorcing my husband because he booed taylor swift
at the super bowl and i still don't
think he believes me to be honest but
he might want to start because i just
followed my paperwork at the courthouse and you
can see right here the date of separation
is this year's super bowl i'm not just
doing this because of the action of booing
i am doing this because of everything that
it represents in our relationship i have loved
taylor allison swift since i was 12 years
old my husband even likes her too like
he'll put on her music when we're cooking
together he has a favorite song it's girl
at home but we were at the super
bowl it was me him and five of
his buddies and when they put taylor up
on the jumbotron all of his buddies started
booing and my husband joined in and that
just tells me everything i need to know
about that man because he didn't care that
that would hurt my feelings he just wanted
to fit in with his boys he didn't
even care that that's not even how he
actually feels he just like wanted to look
cool i guess and and that's not a
man that's a boy and and when you
see that see that you can't really unsee
it so i'm divorcing him thankfully i have
a prenup i'll be retaining all my assets
as well as the assets that i inherited
with peace and love he probably will not
be returning to the super bowl anytime soon
so that's one less boomer for you taylor
i love you he should divorce her for
the uptalking to be quite quite well he
dodged a bullet the way i see it
yeah no kidding oh might as might as
touch network just released another episode they probably
released two during the show uh actually yes
they released one two hours ago and three
hours ago titles bark like a dog mike
morning collapse and take it to the streets
the the the mightest mightest touch man those
guys yeah they're packing them in they're on
fire i tell you um the everlasting uh
bird flu continues to uh hurt everybody and
we are now resorting to lucy eggs the
white house is working on a plan to
control the bird flu as egg prices soar
to record levels they expect to present it
to president trump in the coming days the
average cost for a dozen of eggs has
jumped to four dollars and 95 cents that's
50 percent more than a year ago and
prices are expected to increase by another 20
a trump official slammed the biden administration's response
to the outbreak the biden plan was to
just you know kill chickens uh and they
spent billions of dollars just randomly killing chickens
within a perimeter where they found a sick
chicken some new york city stores are selling
eggs in bundles of three they're calling them
lucy eggs similar to how they sell lucy
cigarettes oh man hey wow i guess what
three eggs cost in new york i don't
know probably three bucks probably 10 bucks oh
yeah 10 bucks for the three is mimi
not worried about her uh chickens catching the
bird flu she hasn't got any chickens i
thought she had chickens but she wrote a
whole book about having chickens yeah that's because
she got fed up with chickens it's too
bad she doesn't have chickens because after the
port angeles podcast studio she could have had
port angeles rent a chicken yes the rent
of chickens are not a bad idea it's
happening people are renting their chickens out i
know they're doing virtually you don't even have
to have the chicken at the house oh
that's interesting yes virtual rental so when the
chicken lays an egg most chickens backyard chickens
lay about one egg every day and a
half oh that's how it works that's a
great idea yeah and then you go pick
up you go to the guys get the
chickens you say what did what did old
lucy lay this last week and you know
it was raining a lot like for example
jay has a bunch of chickens yeah and
when it rains a lot the chickens don't
do anything they just sit around grousing then
they start laying again grousing do they go
like this yeah they go exactly like that
that's what they do oh yeah i gotta
lay that's a great idea if you have
chickens you should be doing rent a chicken
you get a webcam or a body cam
a chicken cam chicken cam you can watch
the chicken every time it lays an egg
that egg now belongs to you that's a
great idea american ingenuity american ingenuity uh we're
the best we are never ceases to amaze
go murica all right well i got a
couple of the sad stories of the dead
the dead hostages oh that's not a way
to end a show we're not ending the
show we're getting to the dead hostages okay
well i could do the i got a
series of clips on the fed buyout but
i think we're running out of time yeah
all right dead hostages here from npr wait
wait there's a couple different ones i got
the first one is the npr dead hostages
npr and then i got the sad hostage
story which will back it up okay israeli
prime minister benjamin netanyahu warns that tomorrow will
be a very difficult day for the state
of israel tomorrow is when the bodies of
four hostages held by hamas are expected to
be released from gaza netanyahu says their families
have been notified six living hostages are expected
to be released saturday as part of israel's
ceasefire with hamas all right very very sad
that was you know it's just like a
dumb this is why they haven't all hell
hasn't broken loose because i think they're all
arrested the hostages are all dead but here's
the sad hostage story this is one of
the dead hostages and if you listen carefully
to the story this was a a person
that was a dad now that with his
wife they were kind of palestinian sympathizers i
i the whole story doesn't make any sense
unless the palestinians are just ogres the hamas
terrorist group provided the name of one of
the deceased hostages said to be released on
thursday his name is odette lefshitz he and
his wife were peace activists and regularly transported
patients from gaza to receive medical treatment in
hospitals in israel however they were both taken
hostage during the october 7th terrorist attack his
wife was released during the first ceasefire in
october 2023 she said this soon after she
was released from hamas captivity i thank you
for coming to hear my tragedy and that
of all my friends it was hard and
i hope we get through it their children
previously shared their thoughts on the tragic situation
before finding out that their father had died
in hamas captivity my father and my mother
kidnapped on the 7th of october my mother
released my father still inside yeah all right
it's baffling to me why these guys are
back and forth and back and forth they're
known to the palestinians why would they be
all of a sudden hostages it just makes
no sense i don't know all right i'm
gonna lighten the mood a little yeah bring
it up a notch singer cheryl crow is
getting rid of her tesla the singer songwriter
posting a video to instagram waving goodbye to
her tesla as it's taken away on a
flatbed in the post she says she's protesting
against elon musk's recent work with the trump
administration the money she's making by selling that
tesla she says she'll be donating it to
npr crow has been a long-time advocate
for environmental causes donating it to npr well
that's a waste analysts look at this picture
said that it was the tesla being taken
in for service based on the fact that
the tree was just turning autumn colors oh
really so that was an old very old
video it's an old video that she decided
to post as though she's giving away the
tesla to give the money to npr at
least that that's one analysis but you know
i was looking at this kennedy center protest
um you heard you know you heard about
this so it's actually the president does have
the right under actual law to uh dismiss
the entire board of the kennedy center and
then he put what he did put in
a new board and then the board of
course elected him as chairman of the board
and he said yeah okay that's great we're
gonna make the kennedy center great again no
more um drag shows and no more lgbtq
and what i noticed and you'll hear it
in this clip is that a lot of
including the was it milwaukee that had all
the that had the the the trans people
show up at the city council meeting i
think it was milwaukee wasn't it are you
talking about the one where they had the
blue-haired girl and all the rest of
you know that was uh that was uh
wooster massachusetts massachusetts um i've noticed that a
lot of the people complaining including because i
looked at that whole video went back and
looked again these are all drag performers they're
all performers and and and everyone who showed
up at this half mile walk protest they're
all drag show performers so you know yeah
no wonder they're upset about lgbtq whatever because
they're they have to find other lines of
work the drag drag time story hour all
that was it was a good gig yes
phoebe i yes i know it's i can't
help but it's blue hair tonight this group
walked half a mile from washington circle right
here to the kennedy center their message they're
not going anywhere armed with passion and bubbles
and a strong message for the president members
and allies of the lgbtq plus community made
their way from washington circle thursday night pausing
of course for much needed dance breaks before
arriving at the kennedy center loud and proud
we're here because donald trump in typical trump
fashion has done some shady maneuvering to get
rid of the board at the kennedy center
and essentially install himself as dictator of the
arts president trump has said moving forward drag
shows will be a no-go at the
kennedy center we're not gonna let people steal
our joy tara hoot a popular drag queen
in the district believes she should be board
president i think why not me i'm the
people's princess darlings and the kennedy center is
a place for everyone thursday night she and
others voiced their frustrations with the way the
president has portrayed this community the kennedy center
has always been a home for everybody and
now it won't be and i you know
i hope there's somebody who will listen to
us and try and stop it they say
they wish the president would be more understanding
i wish he understood that we are more
than what he tries to make us be
that at the end of the day we
are not any sexual beings that drag is
for everyone and drag is love and that's
what we're here to drag until then they're
standing strong on their message we will survive
him that's what i would tell him that
we're not going anywhere um and that we're
not going back in the closet it doesn't
end here this is just the beginning darling
i mean it's not even been a month
we're all just trying to get our sea
legs and see what's up and where we're
going and the vision is clear we're here
to rise up and say no more i
truly believe that a lot of these people
showing up at city council meetings and protesting
everywhere they're worried about their vocation more than
anything it's it was really eye-opening because
all the you know the the blue-haired
girl the uh the the one with the
with the glitter for a beard all all
performers i don't know if they were all
performers yeah i think a lot of them
are and then there's definitely more than one
here's my final story this is from the
trans maoism files i finally found a story
short enough and concise enough and it is
a bit of an eye opener this is
about the zizians have you been tracking this
story people keep emailing all the murderers yeah
the zizians yeah yeah i have actually but
i haven't gotten any clips from here it
is finally we have a no agenda worthy
zizians clip jack lasoda who identifies as a
woman michelle zyko and daniel blank they face
trespassing and handgun charges here in maryland all
three were arrested sunday in frostburg now on
sunday a person reported to police that three
suspicious people parked their box trucks on his
property they asked to camp there for a
month that's how deputies managed to arrest him
now lasoda whose middle name is ziz is
believed to be the leader of what you
called there the zizian cult today lasoda told
the judge that she quote has done nothing
wrong it has to be released prosecutors say
lasoda has faked her own death in the
past police in other states say that she
may have been involved in the stabbing of
her landlord and the murder of her parents
today the judge deemed her a flight risk
and denied bail now the cults believed to
be connected to two california murders most recently
the groups believed to be behind the murder
of a border patrol agent in vermont and
the cult is formed from followers of lasoda's
blog it's consisting of mostly transgender tech workers
who subscribe to what's called radical veganism it's
a philosophy of so-called rationalism and a
fear of a quote singularity this is the
idea that one day ai may advance to
the point where it turns on humans this
is an outgrowth of all those those anti
-ai people that would include you no what
was it called again the um why can't
i remember the name now yeah oh i
don't remember it at all that's where a
lot of those open ai people came from
yeah open ai guys they were part of
a cult and still are yeah and and
so clearly somebody in the in the troll
room should have come up with it by
now they should no they haven't which is
very disappointing um uh uh not altruism not
the effective altruism yeah there you go thank
you effective altruism i remember thank you max
maxibilian yes effective so they've they've turned violent
they've turned violent they have to be careful
about this there could be more of them
hiding behind any bush is that all you
got no i got no well for the
purposes of this show i got the stuff
is not gonna carry over much uh no
i think we're good you're good we're good
everybody's good enrolled by donating to no agenda

end our show for everybody's favorite bit john's
tip of the day great advice for you
and me just the tip with jcb and
sometimes adam created by dana brunetti okay today's
tip is rtv silicon rtv silicone okay rtv
silicone it's an interesting product uh mimi used
here's a here's how it came about this
discovery this is rtv silicone is a room
temperature vulcanizing silicone it vulcanizes at room temperature
you have to wait days and days and
days for it to do it but it
doesn't here's what happened we everybody seems in
this family seems to use the blend tech
blenders the blend tech blenders are done by
that very expensive will it blend was their
tagline they have will it blend guys yeah
so these blenders which have like 20 30
horse i don't know what the horsepower is
but they'll grind up anything and uh mimi
has one she picked it up used from
somebody and uh the problem is with the
way this the engineering on these things requires
that the container the grinding container has the
all the mechanism inside and it has a
gasket that went out and so she she
tried the vulcanizing silicone uh to fix it
and it turns out to work and then
she used the vulcanizing silicone to fix them
patch some holes and various things and it
works like a champ now the brand she's
using is is uh what's the name now
now could you use so can you give
me some other examples of uses besides a
900 blender uh so you have a leaky
hose a leaky hose anything that that you
could use that could use vulcanized you know
that guy that comes on tv and he
slaps them say slap it on the boat
you know slap it on a you know
that kind of it's that kind of stuff
the trolls think i said leaky hose no
no leaky hose a leaky hose yeah well
that's different yeah this won't work on them
so american sealants is the one that she's
using asi 502 high performance 100 rtv silicone
whoa american sealants and yay they have it
on amazon they have a hole in your
boat with it do you think i think
so yeah wow if you leave it set
long enough because it vulcanizes hmm so this
is a key this is an interesting product
indeed howitzer says yes he's used it on
his boat matthew dunaj says it's good shit
huh wow that sounds like that's a great
product i believe it to be another fantastic

Beep, beep, beep.
Allow me to sum up this week's news.
Guess who's back?
Hitler is back!
Hitler!
Hitler is back, everybody!
How dare you!
Let me take you back to 1939.
Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?
Yes, I do.
Hitler is back.
21% of Gen Z Americans think Adolf
Hitler had some good ideas.
Actual American Nazis.
It's a Nazi.
Nazi rally.
How dare you!
Has Donald Trump said he would terminate the
constitution of the United States?
Out!
Praising Adolf Hitler, saying Adolf Hitler did some
good things.
Certainly falls into the general definition of fascist.
It's perfect.
To celebrate the rise of Nazism.
That Donald Trump would invoke Adolf Hitler.
Back home to mommy, she goes back home
to mommy.
How is that casting aspersions?
This is next level QAnon stuff?
They'll say, you know, Trump's supporters have set
off a dirty bomb in Philadelphia.
They're counting on us to help him win.
They're counting on us to propagate their clips.
Vowed to be a dictator on day one.
Someone needs to calm her down.
Hitler did not do some good things.
Now, okay, you can stop it there.
Since election day, Musk has become $138 billion
richer.
Trust me.
I now recognize the gentleman from Texas, Mr.
Kassar.
60% of Americans, the paycheck to paycheck.
Trust me.
Oligarchs give a damn.
$8 million a day.
Outrageous.
He was fired.
How much money a day Mr. Musk will
receive from the federal government?
More and more power.
Do you know what the Trump-Musk administration
did?
Fewer and fewer hands.
The Department of Defense's inspector general was looking
into SpaceX.
They're not looking at big tech.
They're not looking at big pharma because those
people fund their campaigns.
And that is a government of the billionaire
class, by the billionaire class, for the billionaire
class.
He was fired.
The best podcast in the universe.
Adios, mofo.
Dvorak.org slash NA.
That's it for today's episode.
