Shut it down. Shut it down.
Adam curry Jhansi
Devora Sunday April 24 2022. This is your award winning get
my nation media assassination episode 1445 This is no agenda.
boots on the East Coast ground and broadcasting live from the
home of IBM's global HQ. Armonk, New York in the morning,
everybody. I'm Adam curry
from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm groggy on Jhansi
demora
buzzkill Wait a minute. You groggy. You got an extra two
hours today? Yeah. Is that Is that where you're groggy?
Do you know why IBM international headquarters
during Armonk?
I don't know ha. Okay, you're gonna
you're on in our mind. You're
going to tell me though you're going to tell me why.
Yeah, in the 1950s there was such a threat of nuclear nuclear
attack that they figured that New York City was the number one
target and they weren't going to put up with it. So they moved
their international headquarters to Armand Oh, I remember that.
Yes, I did. A safe place and and in a nuclear attack.
Armonk is home to the curry homestead.
It was for the same reason, I'm sure.
Yeah. Actually, my grandfather was in real estate after World
War Two. And he bought a lot of real estate up here.
And of course, he had a clue.
He had a clue and did quite well with that, and not super good
now. So this the house was built in 1845. My grandparents moved
in in 1929. And it's been in the family 1995 Don and Meg. After
that my grandparents died. They, they acquired it. And the
property is gotten a little bit smaller, but still pretty big.
The crazy thing is right across the road, because this is
Westchester. This is this is Connecticut, pretty much.
There's a $25 million horse farm. It's it's crazy.
Everything here is hedge fund guys and BMWs Mercedes Rolls
Royce, the whole place is all the rich people. They don't get
solicited. Tons of Tesla's Of course, tons of Tesla's Yeah. So
first question. Why don't we always start at this time? This
was kind of enjoyable for me while you like it? Well, yeah.
So normally, I get up at 515. And, you know, and work too
early. No, because I need to do everything in the morning. And
it's perfectly timed. And so by the time 11 rolls around, which
is what time it is, for me to start, everything's good,
perfect. But so today, I got up at actually at five, you know,
even though it's East Coast time, because we had a goodbye
brunch at from 10 to noon. So I did three hours of prep. Then we
got over there. Came back, you know, did all my clips, but I'm
just thinking, wow, I mean, everyone seems fine. Darren did
four hours of Rock Roll pre show. We should just do this
every every show. This is such a nice time. I could sleep a
couple hours longer. What
was that? I heard? I heard a shot. Oh, oh, I heard a sound
was Darren blowing his brains out.
I don't know. It's just that was there a reason that we started
this time? I can't
recall you what, let's see how we feel at the end of it. Okay.
And then we see what the audience thinks because maybe
they'd like, you know, because this brings in different parts
of the audience and gets rid of some others.
I remember why we started this time. I remember why this was
when we started the show. I was in the UK. And we wanted to have
it so we both had kind of daylight with the time
difference.
That's right. So that's exactly right. That's why the star shut
shut us started at nine. Yeah.
Well, um, I don't know. I don't think anyone else would anyone
else mind? I don't mind. I think we'd because if
it was if this show started at 11 in the UK, it'd be it'd be
it'd be after. After midnight. Almost. Yeah, exactly.
Interesting point. I can't really well, we'll find out.
We'll figure it out. We can try it. Yeah, I would bother me.
I do want to ask the troll room to be on alert since this is the
24th If you have any information while we're doing the show about
the French elections, we'd love to know. Because that just makes
us sound that much smarter when people are listening to this
tomorrow. On Monday. It's supposed to be a very close race
between McCrone and the far right candidate Marine LePen
Yeah, I don't I personally I can't see her winning. No, I
can't either. It would be it would be quite the upset. And
speaking of upset travel, once again. Oh, yes.
Okay, we're gonna get up prep the audience we're getting, we
have to start to show up because when somebody travels, we have
horror stories to tell. And I know for a fact that you already
have one part of it's a horror story because I don't. I've been
on delayed flights, but 12 hours is too much.
Yeah. So we had it's always only three hours from Austin to New
York, and we decided to fly from Austin on good walked. Well,
I'll tell you by the time we were done, and you know, my my
mission is to get back into aviation, I could have flown us
to literally Westchester airport, 15 minutes away, and
back in the amount of time it took us to get from from
Fredericksburg here, this is an hour and a half to drive to
Austin, which is okay. And that's very normal for us. Now,
if we go to Austin, an hour and a half, no one cares. And we got
there two hours ahead of time anticipating crazy lines. And of
course, there were no crazy lines, it was completely quiet.
In this I did not understand. And we are walking into the
terminal. And oh, yes, your flight has been delayed. Instead
of 1230. It will be departing at three later that turned into
quarter four. And is for us to help. What are you gonna do,
you're not going to go back into town or it back home, you're not
going to go into town. So we decided, we just wait at the
airport. And this would have made me much, much matter. Had
to keep her not had the foresight when we gave up all of
our, you know, our Chase stuff. And we turned in all the cards.
She said, let's get the AMEX four points for traveling, which
is also how we kind of saved the you know, getting our money back
from the failed Aruba trip because it's their travel
agency. And it turns out that you can use a number of lounges,
and we were just flying economy on on delta. So we go to the
Delta lounge at Austin is really, really nice. And so
there's free food and drink they got a full bar. So I have to say
it wasn't a horrible thing. Now if we didn't have the card, I
will be really mad. Because they did nothing for us. They're not
you know, it's nothing just Oh yeah, well, it's too bad. And
what was the reason? Well, we had a mechanical failure. Your
problem on the flight inbound? It's why don't you switch that
out? And we all know the answer. You got no one just no one to
fly the switch out and no one to sit with the other plane. It's
it's broken. The system is busted. So this was very
disappointing. The only good thing was no mask in the
airport. That was wonderful. No mask on the plane. Although
about let's say 10% was still masked. But no one no no stink
eye or anything like that from anybody that I could detect. And
and we landed in New York. There the mass percentage is much
higher, I'd say probably 30%. But yeah, it everyone's seems to
be okay. And I heard that New York was still kind of, you
know, dopey about it and people make make problems and and but
none of it was. That was quite okay. But yeah, 12 hours 12
hours to get from from Austin here is definitely ridiculous. I
just can't do it anymore. I'm going to cancel everything.
Until I can fly myself.
Would you cancel or? Yes, you got planned
meetups. Well, maybe I shouldn't we won't cancel South Carolina
but come on. It's not going to get any better.
Well, not in the near term, that's for sure. No,
no, not in the in the in the medium or long term either. We
need 60,000 pilots by 2023 the end of 2023. So no and what Pete
Pete Buda judge doing working on racist roads or something get
some pilots train bro
he doesn't know anything about transportation. You have to
remember when he was assigned that job of Secretary of
Transportation that he had no experience whatsoever in that
field and claimed that he did like model trains.
Is your foamer is Pete a foam or do you think
I think is a foam he looks like when just imagine him with the
with the with the with the coast cap conductors hat. It put a
conductor's hat on him in your mind and you can see him wearing
it comfortably
and jumping up and down as the train comes by. Ooh, look at
that. Ooh, possibly. So we're here for the for two reasons.
After three years that might my sisters could finally come over
and we could put my dad to rest in the family cemetery plot
which then turned into a mini curry reunion with about 50
people who came in from all parts of the country and even
some, of course, Tiffany from the Other ones with her husband
and with her son and Willow with her kids and her husband, and we
decided it would be fun to all stay in one big air b&b. And
that would be good if the advertising was right. And we're
11 people or 211 11 people like oh yeah, this place this this
place.
A whole 50 You easily.
You got oh, this pullout sofa sofa for two people. Yeah,
no, that's really it gets worse, because it'll hold 50 Don't
worry about
it pretty much. But it was fantastic with Dutch, Italian
English. My brother in law Allesandro cooking the Italian
is really, really fun. But another reason that it was good
to be here is on Meg passed away here four weeks ago. And so Don
is basically here by himself. Now he's alone. He's 94. They'd
been married for 63 years. So you know this that's a rough
time for him. And was good to have everybody everybody hanging
around. But what was kind of weird and I've been to a number
of these curry reunions. The first one I think was 1977 or 76
that I can recall it's been three or four since then we have
people in Kansas and all over all over the country that come
in. And now there's a whole new generation you know, Christina's
age there's no late 20s their 30s Man I have been called
Boomer in the past two days at least 15 times. It's getting a
boomer No, just everything is Boomer this Boomer that Yeah.
But the will
get out of the way.
Exactly. weather was great. It's been fantastic to tell all kinds
of stories and remember everything but there's one thing
I do have to point out most of my family has is all East Coast
many of them have lived extensive time in Washington DC
in the area or or it had at one point lived in DC so very east
coast I would say fairly liberal mentality mainly because they as
as good a government issues do they they love to listen to NPR
and watch PBS. Now there was very little political talk going
on, which I enjoyed and there was just almost none of it. You
know, not even about current events. It was just all about
family but almost to a tee every every single. At any event,
there's
a big buck, there's a big butt.
And it goes like this. How can you stand to live in Texas? How
can I second one? How can you stand the Texas government? And
it's it's it's I was blown away by that. Have you been to Texas?
Surprised me in the least? Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't have off
the top my head thought that that would happen. But when once
you say it, it doesn't surprise me in the least. This is like
the crazy little commentaries you'd hear on these talk shows
where these people would get together when it was just not
only Trump, but when Nixon won or when any of these Republicans
won, people, New Yorkers were sitting around going, I don't
understand how this guy possibly could win. Yeah, I don't know.
Anyone who's voted for him. Yeah.
Yeah, it's well, yeah, you're right. I shouldn't be surprised
because there was no political talk at all. But a question my
my, my place entity, entity, perhaps Saturday, you know, I've
got and I don't want to come across as a big defender of
Texas but I said, you know, you'd be surprised kind of how
I've done it in a draw. Hi, let me tell you is that you you'd be
surprised how moderate kind of Texans are and don't really care
and we just kind of do our thing. Yeah. Do we have crazy
radical coverage of and are the politicians out of control?
Sure. There's all kinds of crazy crap but as singled out that
way, it's like come on, and many of them have served in Fort
Hood. Yeah, I was like okay, that was just it was very
notable and and I was like in my my go to as always, well, I
don't know You know, we we bought our house from from a gay
couple and then everyone in neighborhoods seemed okay with
that. I don't know. There's always an eyebrow raised. And
are they still alive? But the kill so the strong man so but
here's the here's the funny part about it. So they're talking
about literally about Texas. How can you stand to live there I
can stand the Texas government. Meanwhile, in Washington, DC
where many had driven up from
Good evening and thank you for joining us on this Friday night.
We want to begin with some breaking news as we come on the
air scary scene here in the nation's capital has a search is
on for a suspect accused of shooting multiple people. The
mayor just moments ago calling the situation an active threat.
Three people were shot including one juvenile, thankfully all are
in stable condition and expected to survive. At least six
different law enforcement agencies are responding and
trying to clear the scene. This is near middle and high school
which was put on lockdown and residents are told to shelter in
place.
So they were on the phone with the with some other you know,
acquaintances and friends and some of them were locked in. who
live in that area. And I Okay, yeah, Texas pretty bad. Yeah.
Have you followed this thing? In DC?
Now? No.
So they got a number of cool elements. They got of course
shooting and guns and we there's a war on guns for obvious
reasons. Sure. Middle Name involved,
who
I'm not sure I don't think there's a name in my reports.
Let's see what I have here. A federal
and local law enforcement surged into Northwest Washington about
four miles north of the White House. After gunshots erupted on
a major thoroughfare in the nation's capitol.
We advise someone to scene of an active shooter person shot in
the alleyway.
Witnesses described hearing dozens of shots pulsing through
the neighborhood which houses multiple schools, college campus
and embassies.
We do not have a motive at this time. We do not know the full
details of what took place
in an unverified video that the police have yet to identify the
shooter may have live stream the attack Yeah, as the injured who
rushed from the scene. Residents were told to shelter in place as
police cordoned off the area.
And we're continuing to do a very thorough search as you know
some of these buildings are very large. There they've taken some
time for us to go through we don't
know well, and crude was blocks away waiting for news from her
daughter.
She was going to pick up her eighth grader and I heard all
this shooting she thought it was a jackhammer, but I stopped and
then it started again. And when she called us she was so
hysterical I couldn't understand.
So that's an auto sear I think when she's talking about the
jackhammer, so I think we got another one of those on our
hands.
One of the yeah good good catch the
what is the switch the Glock switch? Yeah. Was this one line
maybe is the name here
and Washington DC has done
a good job of by the way the media has done a great job of
popularizing even did the two of us the swish and now everybody
knows about we all get one Yeah, well you could work media
because this good way Yeah. To get this getting control.
Well, even better than that. You can 3d print one. Yeah, the plan
the plans are out. The plans are being distributed everywhere.
God is just a little thing. It's very small. A small thing is
last report
and Washington DC police today said the gunman who wounded four
people Friday including a child fired more than 100 rounds from
a rifle oh the suspect appeared to fire randomly from an
apartment with a sniper like setup he was later found dead
there
Okay, so now I'm confused did they just change that to a
different weapon? Did this guy have a sear on the on his AR
I well if you if I think during this series port that I saw they
do make them for the AR Oh yeah,
well you you Abby again you can you can do it with a coat
hanger. Not that hard to fashion these things. Who knows that but
it's but there you go Washington DC you know it's very strict gun
laws. But now Texas can't stand them.
I just hope you made these arguments.
Are you insane? No way. No way now this was it was really nice.
Especially to hanging out with Don is 94 and the guy's sharp.
But then sometimes just it'll just for a second it'll flip off
and you can see it and it flips right back. And he knows it to
us Jones out everybody does. Yeah, by
90 He looks good. I'll get some some pictures. He looks good for
94 with a with his hair to all his hair. My family so cool. We
get to keep our hair. So let's see. We got a lot going on start
let's start with it with it. I checked out the morning shows
because I could and I don't have any clips from guys. I'm not
gonna do that. But the big news I do have luckily the clip of it
which is the big deal is the Kevin McCarthy
tape. Yeah, this is interesting. I've caught a little bit of
this all the time but and by the way, when I listened to some of
this stuff this morning, I really I finally realized what's
going on. And it kind of explains this tape. It explains
what I mean they're gonna make a big fuss. But can I give
you my impression just from only having not really followed but
just cursory news, what my impression was that Kevin
McCarthy is worried about, you know, January Six committee
whatever he he laid down some, you know, some plausible
deniability for himself. And I question the recording date of
some of these phone calls.
Well, that plausible deniability is not necessary. He that he's
already they still want to drag him in but he has the some
reason where his position allows him to just say fuck you're not
going and so I there's nothing to worry about
what's his what's his position? What's his position that he can
do that using the just the
Senate Minority elite are sorry House Minority Leader. Yeah, we
can't start dragging in your competition and grilling them
for no good reason I can't be done.
This list never stopped them before
who have the drug in that level? And those 18 reached a Trump
twice. Now impeaching him is not the same as dragging him before
a hearing. Okay. Trump ever came in no true. Kevin McCarthy
fiasco one this will be a good background is all from NPR.
Recordings of House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy show him
saying that he wanted President Trump to resign after the
January 6 attack on the Capitol back in 2021. Two New York Times
reporters share the audio last night on MSNBC. It's a little
bit hard to hear. But this is McCarthy's voice.
The only discussion I would have with him is that I think this
will pass and it'd be my recommendation.
It would be my recommendation he should resign. That's the quote.
Joining us to discuss this is NPR congressional reporter
Claudia Gray Salas. Good morning.
Good morning, Steve.
I guess we should give the background here. Alex burns and
Jonathan Martin of The New York Times have a new book they
report Oh, that McCarthy wanted Trump to resign. McCarthy denied
it and now they brought receipts.
Exactly. McCarthy had issued a lengthy statement yesterday
calling the Times reporting quote totally false and wrong.
But this audio tape appears to have been that claim was part of
a House Republican leadership call made soon after the attack.
But we should know that note that NPR has not independently
verified the tape, which was released last night as part of a
book tour for Bernie Martin. Then number three House
Republican Liz Cheney can be heard in this tape asking
McCarthy about whether a 25th amendment succession plan could
be triggered about Trump's possible resignation.
Is there any chance? Are you hearing that he might resign? Is
there any reason to think that might happen? My gut tells me
no. I'm serious, seriously, thinking we're having that
conversation with him tonight. I haven't talked to him a couple
of days.
Now, of course, we know that training was later kicked out of
her leadership role for sticking with these concerns about Trump
and subsequently she became the ranking Republican on the House
Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the
Capitol.
So book tour, how about that?
Yeah. I think that's a distraction. What's going on
here? And I'll tell you what I think happening. And I only got
triggered to these thoughts. Listening to Karl Rove this
morning, talking about
as you do along with as one does on a nice Sunday
morning when you're watching these TV shows. So first of all,
I think Cheney leaked the tape. Yeah, who is she denies this
information was in the book. It was challenged because the New
York Times wrote about the book it was challenged, and then
somebody leaked a tape. Who else would need to poop what kind of
douchebag would leaked assorted tape to embarrass
Well, there's about 200 in Congress who would do that?
Maybe more. But yeah, that would be chaining. Sure. I believe
that she denies it.
This was a this wasn't a meeting with everyone in Congress. This
was a closed meeting of the of the leadership and Cheney was
one of the leadership members at the time. If you recall, she was
kicked out of leadership. Jada's mission got it. I think that
what was going on and this is this is harkens back to my
thesis about how important it is I've tried to teach the kids how
important it is to write a cover your ass memo all the time die
Yes. I think that Trump actually expected something bad to happen
that's when he wrote to cover your ass memo to Pelosi this was
a there's no doubt about it there's no reason for this at
all except as a cover your ass moment this cover to cover his
ass and do it well. He wrote a memo to Pelosi suggesting that
they bring out 20 feet deny that you exaggerate and a good cover
your ass man Will you push it to the point where they ignore it?
He said we should bring out 25,000 US troops troops military
All right. To to protect the capital because oh no, no, no,
you just did not white. Take it you Since she ignored the memo,
if she even saw it, and the people above and below her all
ignored this memo, this memo says Get Out of Jail Free card,
they're doing the hearings. Ignoring the memo, they refused
to discuss the memo, they refused to bring Pelosi to the
fore. They refused all this stuff. As soon as the house
flips, which it will do in November memo will resurface.
That will all come right to the fore, and that committee will be
shut down overnight. But that was a cover your ass moment. And
it was one of the best examples of it I've ever seen looking
back on it. Now, McCarthy didn't know about this memo. And it was
at the moment it was the at the time of these of these riot as
they like to keep calling it insurrection stretchable clear
where they were they keep calling it and especially NPR
they keep calling it that, which is, I think unconscionable that
they do this because it's propaganda because he didn't
know any better. And he saw this as a Nixon moment where they're
going to impeach Trump and get and you know, and pull it off.
And Nixon, Nixon was told by the establishment of the Republican
Party, the McCarthy's of its of his era, he has to resign. And
that's when he resigned. And that's what he was, he was in
that mode of thinking, not understanding that Trump who we
have to reassess Trump on and off again, is not a dumb shit.
And this cover your arrest memo that he wrote, which really was
a beauty. That's why Trump I guess he heard from McCarthy and
he's and I'm not, I'm not going to, and there's some other tape.
I'm not, I'm not going to resign. There's no reason for
it. And he was right. And they but they went ahead anyway
trying to impeach him even though it was like futile, and I
just got nothing. I actually have more respect for Trump now
thinking about this moment as as a cover your ass moment. And the
importance of it for you kids out there.
And what's what's interesting since you bring up Watergate
this week is the 50th anniversary of Watergate. Yeah,
how about that for another 70s throwback, huh? I know you
hate it. By the way, it's a segment now. And of course, the
segment. Somebody's got to
come and go, we need a jingle. We need a jingle. That's right.
So let's go to part two of this clip. Cheney spokesman
said this morning that the select committee has asked Kevin
McCarthy to speak with us about these events, but he has so far
declined. Representative Cheney did not record or leak the tape
and does not know how the reporters got it. Her office is
referencing a January regrets there that the committee made to
McCarthy where they raised the potential that he had previously
discussed Trump's resignation and wanted him to talk about it
to the panel. McCarthy however, swiftly rejected the idea to
testify.
Now what does this mean for the relationship between Kevin
McCarthy and Donald Trump? And I guess we should remind people
McCarthy would very much like to be Speaker of the House. Trump
has been very critical of McCarthy even though McCarthy
has on some occasions changed his views or muted his views
about January 6, to be supportive of Trump.
Right, exactly. There was a shouting match between McCarthy
and Trump during a phone call on the day of the attack, where
Murthy McCarthy pleaded with Trump to take notice that the
rioters were actually Trump supporters to which Trump
responded. Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset
about the election than you are. Then McCarthy took to the floor
later to point the finger at Trump's role in the attack. And
this riff looked like it was going to stay that is until
McCarthy flew to mar a Lago within weeks of the attack and
appeared in a photo with Trump seemingly mending this feud
between them back then anyway, what
about now?
Now this obviously puts McCarthy in a tough position with his
party and he's getting mixed reviews this morning from his
rank and file, but the ultimate judge here is likely Trump
himself. And as we know, these two have mended their tensions
in the past. So it's very possible he can sort of live
this latest controversy too.
I am so happy you you got this job. And you're deconstruction
because my family will be listening of course. And and I'm
happy that because they'll love this. They'll love the fact that
oh my god, that's a great political play. A lot of them
understand this stuff and that cya memo, man, you nailed it
with that. That makes a lot that's that's a smart move.
And I think that they do they leave all this stuff out of this
report, but I think when McCarthy flew to mar a Lago, I
think he was introduced to the memo. And then he went to mar a
Lago and he got to read it and oh, man, he said, Okay, yes.
What's the picture again? And they were fine. And if you
listen, today's morning, guys, they will say, yeah, there seem
to be okay with each other. Now, why is that?
So? What's the trap? To January 6, MIDI trap? Yeah. Excellent.
And
once and once, in fact, is a good trap too, because once it's
not a trap up unless the Republicans get the house but
they will get to the house and then they pull this up they'll
bring Pelosi to the to the thing she's gonna have to testify why
she didn't take action on the memo everybody's gonna why and
then they're gonna bring up Schiff or make him talk about
why you didn't introduce the memo you knew demand was there
all the right wing talk show people have been talking about
the memo but you guys refused even discuss it and it's gonna
make the it's gonna make the Democrats look even worse than
they look now I think I have gonna be a butt slam
I think I have I think I have Schiff in one of my clips about
this let me say
the New York Times just released a recording after House
Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy denied telling top Republicans
that he would urge President Trump to step down after the
January 6 attack. According to the Times the audio reveals
McCarthy discussing plans to call the president directly and
suggests he resigned. ABC News White House correspondent
Mario's Parkes joins me now with more on this. Mary Alice, what's
the reaction in Washington to this recording coming out?
Yeah, Diane, pretty quiet so far for members of Congress. We're
obviously looking for any additional statement from
McCarthy from Leader McConnell. We're gonna continue to be
pressing Republicans for their answers on this. There's, as you
said, a serious credibility question here. It seems that
Kevin McCarthy and his staff was just completely dishonest with
reporters about this really caught in this trap where it's
now seems that someone had Oh Trump of that phone call. And
you know, I listening to it. There's a lot
that's interesting. She says that caught in this trap.
What does she have her traps? Their trap? Is that hey, did you
tell us the press? No, I didn't know. Well, here's the tape now
in a mediocre trap. I
was gonna say why.
Okay, staff was just completely dishonest stress reporters about
this really caught in this trap where it's now seems that
someone has gone
a go figure politician is dishonest with the press pool.
Do.
I know I've never heard of it. By the way. I've never heard
such a thing. No, it
doesn't happen out this really
caught in this trap, where it's now seems that someone had audio
of that phone call. And you know, listening to it. There's
lots of questions that need answers questions about exactly
was considering a 25th. Amendment move you hear in the
audio, Representative Liz Cheney seem to refer to prior
discussions about whether there's a move to to invoke the
25th amendment. That's obviously when the President or members of
cabinet can be removed from all there's a serious question about
whether McCarthy did at some point, tell Trump he thought he
should resign, you hear in the audio recording, he says that
that's what he thinks he should do what he plans to do what he
thinks is the best course of action if he advises the
president to resign, but it's unclear whether he ever actually
had that phone call. And then of course, you know, we're gonna
have to continue to publicans about what happened, how they
could be told,
Oh, my goodness, she's all jacked about Oh, and of course,
we're gonna press the Republicans,
we have things we can say we want to say
whether he ever actually had that phone call. And then of
course, you know, we're gonna have to continue to press
Republicans about what happened, how they could be talking like
this in the days immediately after January 6, and then within
a few days after that swing so far in the other direction,
I'm in another clip. I know I have shift here somewhere newly
released
phone call show, Kevin McCarthy told fellow house to CBS public
and shortly after the US Capitol attack, Donald Trump had
acknowledged bearing some blame for it.
He told me he does have some responsibility for what
happened.
And you need to acknowledge that.
Authors of the new book this will not pass have released a
series of clips of McCarthy's phone calls with fellow
Republicans from the days after the insurrection. In one call.
McLaren expressed frustration with the former president
with this guy. What he did is unacceptable. Nobody can defend
that and nobody should defend it.
In another McCarthy said he was considering asking Trump to
resign
and it'd be my recommendation you should resign. I mean, that
would be my take, but I don't think he was taken.
McCarthy is now being accused of being deceitful as he said he
didn't remember the earlier phone call. Those comments made
less than three weeks before he made this pilgrimage to mar a
Lago pilgrimage, a pilgrimage talking about so and he had
denied ever recommending Trump should resign. Several members
of the January 6 committee tell CBS News they've long sought an
interview with McCarthy and said the audio shows McCarthy could
shed light on Trump's mindset, though, why is that revelation
important to your committee?
I think it is very important that Kim McCarthy has evidence
the former President acknowledged bearing some
responsibility for that attack on the Capitol. This is an
admission of guilt by the former president as
this despite Otherwise, they're doing this Jedi mind trick by
there's so much audio, and then by saying something like that.
And I would also blame CBS for, for editing it that way and then
to say what Schiff just said, is taking your mind into, you know
what what you're supposed to believe Trump said
you think it is very important that Kim McCarthy has evidence
the former President acknowledged bearing some
responsibility for that attack on the Capitol. This is an
admission of guilt by the former president,
a subpoena to the House Republican leader. So
there's no audio tape of Trump with any admission of guilt. But
because McCarthy says something that's you know, that's and by
the way, whenever Schiff shows up, usually the operation fails
this guy except for you know, I think he actually delayed the
impeachment with his shenanigans made it worse. But whenever this
guy shows up, the OP doesn't work too. Well trigger a
legal dispute and time is running short. The committee
hopes to have public hearings next month, we do feel a sense
of urgency,
because the hearings will tell a story that will really blow the
roof off the house. Wow, I hadn't heard that either. You
hear they edited those two together. No, playing two
different people at Schiff. And then they cut two games
by the former president,
a subpoena to the House Republican leader could trigger
a legal dispute and time is running short. The committee
hopes to have public hearings next month. We do feel a sense
of urgency because
the hearings will tell owl they just cut to a whole different
person. Is that Schiff as well? Yeah, it's
not what sounds like it. But you know, that clip of Schiff is
okay, maybe? I think you're right, only the
committee hopes to have public hearings next month,
we do feel a sense of urgency,
because the hearings will tell you know, a story that will
really blow the roof off the house and that's not Schiff to
the customer from guy. Yeah, the cut from shift to that guy.
All right. Yeah, you're playing around
Macron 58%, ahead of LePen. So it looks like he's going to
Crusher,
de France is a socialist country, and they're going to
put her in. Yeah.
Good try. Was this her fourth time?
On don't know how many times it is, but as this gets getting
futile, they gotta find somebody better than her. I mean, the
French will. It hasn't gotten so bad that they have to kick their
socialist people out. But they will eventually but this is not
it.
Okay, so we'll see. We'll see where this goes. Do we have a
timeline this January 6, because everything seems to be kind of
wrapping it up and getting ready for it. In fact, I do have a
short last clip which is probably worth listening to
about the report
in the spirit of disclosing private conversations. Did you
tell House Republicans on their January 11
phone call that President Trump told you he agreed that he bore
some responsibility for January 6 as chairman Thompson's letter
indicates
I'm not sure what call you're talking about. Really? Really?
Think you probably know where I'm going with this roll the
tape
but let me be very clear to all of you and I don't I don't even
know what that is
I don't even know what that is you know this there's a lot of
hearsay try you know this is a desperation as far as I can tell
by the Democrats because there's there's nothing that that is
improving their chances for November
no
and it's it's got nothing to do with any there's nobody cares
about January 6, except that you know, the talk shows and some
NPR outlets and of insurrection, haters and all the rest of them
at least 100 Baker buyer gas price and the fact that beef
prices are through the ceiling and chickens now there's no good
chicken is gonna be expensive. $4 a bound for 5055 cent chicken
Give me a break.
Speaking of someone sent me a cover of Time magazine April
9 1973. Food prices the Big Beef don't eat meat. What is going on
is okay where's I get? I'll get this get this 70 stuff. I get
worse. I have a 70s repeat this. Here's my 70s report. It's under
70s report the roller skating going on in New York
who wants Tekken seven these reports here we go.
New York's famous skating rink at Rockefeller Center has gotten
retro skaters are ditching their blades and putting on wheels
nice.
I have to Playing music like that if they do it the last time
the Rockefeller Center rink welcomed roller skaters was in
the 1940s. Now they're back.
The beauty of Roller Skating is that the minute you strap on the
wheels, everything goes out of the window.
Liberty Ross came up with the idea
to transform the Rockefeller Center rig for
rollerskating.
Yeah, baby, although that's 80s really
taken seven years her father owned one of the hottest spots
in Los Angeles, the famous
flippers roller Boogie Palace,
people that went to the original flippers, they all say like
yeah, you know, I was like holding hands with Cher while I
was skating around the you know, it was like Arnold
Schwarzenegger, Jane Fonda Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Herbie
Hancock, everybody was masked.
She wanted to recreate that magic of that attraction, the
clothes in 1981. And for its debut in New York, the stars
came out to roll.
Asha that's Boyd Mayweather. There's, you know, Meek Mill
does Mary J Blige but they're skating with everyone.
Ross promotes roller skating as an alternative to getting lost
online. Let's scroll more rolls.
Put the phones down. You know, just be in your body feel the
wind in your hair hear that music or just let go and enjoy
the
flippers ruler Boogie palace at Rockefeller Center is open
through
October
bell bottoms not required.
Yeah, whoa, bell bottoms are a thing now whether they're not
required. Good one. Less scroll more roll. You know, the New
York Times had a
noun that was from flippers in the 70s in Los Angeles. She's
just rebuilt the old 70s operation at digit with all the
bullcrap that was in that report, like for example, what
is what why is rollerskates more freeing in that regard and ice
skates?
I have no idea
is bullcrap. Why? Listen,
and this was this morning in the New York Times. And it's about
the in fact the, the title is it's not just high high oil
prices. It's a full blown energy crisis. And that rhymes. Listen
to this. The parallels with the 1970s are obvious. Get ready for
the oil shock in the wake of the Yom Kippur War in October 1973,
which involved the world's rising oil producers Saudi
Arabia was extremely disruptive economically and geopolitically.
The first shock was followed in 7879 by the revolution in Iran
and Iraq's invasion of Iran, plunging the two oil producers
into a long war. Then one geopolitical era with the United
States as the world's largest oil producer, and Britain, the
military guarantor of western energy interests in the Middle
East unraveled. And this is interesting. Do we have a
parallel to this? Keep reading, as the Arab states seized
control of production and prices from the seven big Anglo
American companies, the sisters that had controlled oil in the
Middle East for decades, Western economies stagnated under eating
under the inflationary pressure stagnation, inflation stagnate,
stagflation. supercharging, protests strikes and electoral
realignment across across western democracies. In the
final paragraph, what lies ahead promises to be more disorderly?
That's right, we're doing the 70s better people, ultimately
transformative than the events of the 1970s. This is indeed a
bigger disruption. During the geopolitical upheaval of the
70s, the physical supply of oil from the world's reserves was
never the issue. Now with Asian energy demand vastly higher than
it is than it was it is, and demand for gas and coal may well
also exceed worldwide output. Over the next few years, we
appear to have entered a time when countries will have to
compete for the world's remaining accessible fossil
fuels and governments openly choose geopolitical alliances to
secure them.
Charging stations,
hundreds of them, they'll know. Oh, my goodness, alright, you're
jumping around on me. But this was our president.
One of the things I've found out as the president knighted
states, I get to spend a lot of that money. And I get to decide
where no, I'm not joking. And we're going to completely avoid
before we're going to start the process where every vehicle in
the United States military, every vehicle is going to be
climate friendly. Every vehicle we're going to go knock
on it's gonna matter. You know, it matters. You know, my view of
this crisis is I said as an as genuine opportunity, an
opportunity to do things we wanted to do, and only now and
become so drunk or
not drunk.
So the military is by far the largest greenhouse gas producer
with the with their equipment. When he says climate friendly.
What does he mean?
I don't know if I can ask you a quick Shouldn't first when he
says he's going to make it more green and more climate friendly,
he gets a round of applause and the applause he says no, I mean
it. Yeah.
It's not a joke.
Yeah, what what is he? Well, again, it's whenever you think
the applause means
whenever he gets applause that's what he says. No, it's not a
joke. That's just it's Tourette's. Now it's not a joke
I don't know we've gone through anything
because it's as you brought Biden in I get my Biden clips go
for it. Go for it. Well if you want it okay first of all, what
you heard not a joke not a joke. And no, I mean it you've heard
he's got a couple of things you need already you know the thing.
The thing he says that you can you think of any other little
bromides he keeps throwing in
not offhand, but I you mentioned him I'll know him.
Well, I've got one for you right here. See if you can pull this
one out. Because I got a couple of examples in just a series of
small clips by him this is the repeating phrase tell me if you
can figure out what it is he keeps saying for some stupid
reason
to what the federal government hadn't done. Well, guess what?
We had a long talk good jobs lost over time. Well, guess
what? Fine guess what part of the reason for the global
warming? Well, guess what? We had it all it all evaporated.
Well, guess what?
You know, when we were kids, if someone said that the standard
response will be what?
I do my kids use
course you do this? This is where I learned I've learned by
watching you. Okay. Oh, another 70s throwback right there. The
marijuana commercial from the 70s. Now see, it's I wish we
were doing the show in the 70s we could just do reruns
be perfect. Guess what, guess what? What? Guess what? Guess
what? It's what? What kind of a president is it that says keep
saying guess what, like a 12 year old?
Well, when it comes to diction and crazy shit, Trump had his
had his moments to add a whole bunch of stuff.
Yeah, but they weren't 12 year old stuff necessarily. Let's
listen to some other stuff. This let's hear some breakdowns. This
is Biden that you got the repeating phrase. So we got that
figured out. This is the one I've been wanting to play which
is why throws prostitution and out of the blue phrase illegal.
Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitutes being
sued.
What was that you thinks that he's immune to prostitution? It
has prostitution on the mice I must have talked about her dead
teeth
now he must have been thinking of something else constitution
maybe he was confused constitution. Okay, here's by
let me hit this again.
Imagine had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being
so prosecution.
He wants to say prosecution. That's what imagine the tobacco
industry being immune to prosecution. But it comes out as
sweet. He's prostitute prostitution. Well, no.
Obviously, we know what he's thinking.
Had the tobacco industry been immune to prostitute being sued?
Can we switches to being seen soon. It's like Porky Pig we're
dealing with here.
Elder abuse is what we're dealing with here.
Here's so here's a few of the lies. And by the way, the media
loves to be all over the place with this, you know, fact check
and this and that and the 10,000 Lies by Trump. But they never
say shit, only the right wing or say shit about stuff like this.
Here he is on his full professorship.
I've been on a lot of university campuses. Matter of fact, for
four years, I was a full professor at the University of
Pennsylvania. factcheck, false.
We just ever been a full professor at the University.
Does he even know what a full professor is?
Well, that is probably the issue. He doesn't know what that
is what is a full professor, he didn't have an honorary degree.
He may have gotten a degree and he may have been a lecturer at
some point in during a summer course or who knows what. But
you know, there to get to full professor you have to go through
a process you have to have. I don't know very few that don't
have a PhD or some upper. At least a master's isn't. You know
this. You have to You're You're no slouch to be a full
professor. You just don't become one, right? Like, out of the
blue like that. Here's another one. Here's Biden. Biden makes a
big fuss about Trump when he's blaming others blaming blaming,
here's the Biden blaming clip.
I grew up in a family where the price of gasoline went up at the
pump. It was a conversation at the kitchen table with my dad.
totems invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices and food
prices all over the world.
boots on boots on the moment boots on the ground from Italy.
Willow says their electric bill in the past two months has gone
up 300% in Italy 300. And now all public buildings are going
to end condos will be regulating air temperature. So during the
summer months, buildings public buildings and and condominiums
are going to adhere to this. And apartment buildings may not make
it colder than 27 degrees centigrade. What is that? Do we
know what that is in?
Seventh? I think?
No, I think it's higher than that. It's 80 degrees.
And during the winter is not definitely not at
27 degrees centigrade is 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Yes.
He can't make a building colder than that
note, and during the during the winter, you can't make it warmer
than 19 degrees.
Oh, it's icy during the summer. So it gets sweltering at can't
lower it
as you can. Yeah. So it's 80 degrees. You can't lower it and
you can't you can't heat your building over 66 Fahrenheit.
Yikes. That's cold. Yeah. Yeah. Well, there are three. Well,
here's the here's the blame right here. This is the Biden on
price hikes.
Of the increase in inflation was a consequence of Putin's price
hike, because of the impact on oil prices. 70%. We need we need
to address these high prices and urgently.
You know, I got this report, which about this urgent
addressing of the of the height of Putin is price hike. And
Bloomberg now reports that we took some oil from the Strategic
Petroleum Reserve, which is a real thing. And they are
actually the salt domes. And I think is it Louisiana? As you
know, we were what we were asking about a couple shows
back. Yeah, we didn't. I mean, you specifically said where is
this? Is it real? And yeah, it's the salt domes that they pump
full. So Bloomberg reports. A tanker known as the advantage
spring loaded low sulfur crude, originally pumped from the
strategic reserve caverns in Southwest Louisiana, at a port
in Niederlande, Texas earlier this month, according to a
person familiar with the matter. So take that for what it's
worth. This ship charted by an affiliate of French energy giant
total energies is bound for the key European port of Rotterdam.
So we emptied our strategic reserves, and we're shipping it
over to Rotterdam. I mean, I understand that oil is fungible
and, you know, as long as you get more supply into the market,
but why don't I mean, why is that just to rip off the Dutch
and the French? What? Yeah, so our our strategic reserve was
sent on a ship to Rotterdam by a French energy company.
So we released our strategic reserves. Let me summarize. So
we are released, summarized, according to Bloomberg. We're
releasing our strategic reserves. Because we have high
energy prices, and we want to get the price of gasoline down
and we're releasing our energy reserves and shipping them to
Holland. Yes, sir. I'm not an
often I know, but every everyone around me here the weekend is a
sir believe me. So. There's a lot of Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, yes. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. I mean,
again, oil is fungible. So you can make the argument if
question, but I don't see anyone questioning this. It feels kind
of icky. That's our stop. Well, I
want to see that you got to send me the link to that thing that
that is like what
and I think we filled it up during the pandemic when oil was
you know, zero. I remember Trump boasting about that. I filled it
up to the brim. I think we had
an hour draining it.
Strategic reserves. I wonder if we have that clip.
That is just an offbeat story.
Well, offbeat, is it's it's kind of infuriating. To a degree.
Yeah. Um, who's the who's the OS because the director their
energy secretary that Granholm woman who drives around a Chevy
Bolt? Is she hates oil.
Yeah. Yeah, it's like we need to fix stuff but not on might not
in my backyard. Get that nasty oil out of here. Yeah, that's
probably something like that. It's like, well, you know, we
can have climate change from the oil but let them let the French
and Dutch do it. It's better. And then this story from the
telegraph as we kind of move into Ukraine, France and Germany
after 2014 mean, after the Crimea annexation there was an
EU wide embargo on any arm shipments to Russia? Oh, well,
you know, France and Germany kind of ignored that and sent
350 million euros worth of weapons to Russia sold it
against the regulations, and so now bears dealers
is arms dealers.
Yeah, I know. But these are the government's who just just
ignored, ignored the sanction. They
do mob run governments that are arms dealers.
Yeah, speaking of Biden,
to modernize Teddy Roosevelt's famous advice, sometimes he will
speak softly and carry a large javelin, because we're sending a
lot of those in as well. And, but we're not we're not sitting
on the funding that Congress has provided for Ukraine, we're
sending it directly to the front lines of freedom
lie. And the lie is we're not sending the $800 million. We're
sending the old stuff, and we're buying new stuff with $800
million.
So I got some pushback from one of the people on the no agenda
social with one of my comments I just made, alright, I said, Oh,
you know, this is we're just being we're being suckered by
the Ukrainians. And we're just giving them all the stuff that
even though it's old and useless, but still, and it gets
you get you completely missing the boat here, Dvorak. He says,
this is a LendLease deal. This is their we're not giving them
anything. We're charging them for this stuff on a loan basis.
So we're going to put them in such debt that they're going to
be forever indebted. And this is a just a modern version of the
economic hitman right in front of us right before your very
eyes dummy. Well, that's
interesting.
That's what I said,
Ah, Lawrence Wilkerson was a colonel in the army. He was
chief of staff, to Colin Powell. He ran stuff during the Bush
Cheney White House. Thank ya, Bush, Cheney White House, and he
was interviewed, and he just kind of laid it out what's going
on here,
there is a sneaking suspicion in the back of my mind that because
I've been there, I've seen this happen. not to this extent, but
I've seen things like it happened, that there are some
oligarchical elements to this. In Europe and the United States,
and perhaps even in Russia. They would like to see a real mess.
Because it's very profitable for it sells arms. It sells things
associated with arms, it gets every verbalizing up. As far as
shareholders of people like Lockheed Martin, Raytheon,
Grumman, and their equivalents in Ukraine and Russia and
elsewhere. It gets them very excited, because it looks like
there will be war and rumors of war for a long time, which is,
of course, what gives them their profit margins, that there would
be some kind of insidious design to enhance deepen this crisis
would not surprise me at all.
Why would he say that?
Oh, no, he's just trying to show off maybe that he knows
something. I would say that there's another thing to look
at, in this regard, is that the Russians, I mean, he even kind
of implies the Russians are involved in this scheme. The
Russians have done very little to flat and rub allies, the
traditionally important places like key F has not been
flattened. He has been sent no missiles until the VIV which is
the, you know, like World Heritage Site. Nobody wants to
touch that. And it's like, it's like kid gloves, you know, in
certain sit areas. The other part Hell, where they would just
blow it up. I find that peculiar. Now, let's, you know,
it's not it's not the swath of verbalization is just selective
verbalization.
You know, my, my whole family, they've been around since the
Cuban Missile Crisis, or many of them around since the Cuban
Missile Crisis. And not again, none of this came up. But you'd
expect, you know, if you were talking about Putin, you'd
probably get the you know, he wants to restore the USSR that
would probably be what I hear. But, you know, as the kind of
winding down this, this property here, one of my cousin's, she
gathered up some stuff that her mom had saved throughout the
years, like an email from my mom to her January 11, you know,
when she was in Holland and, and was worried about family who
were in New York, or of course, who knew what was going on in
DC, but there's also a note from my dad, when I think we're in
the Netherlands, and he's emailing someone in the family
and, of course, back in the day, if you wanted to make a call
long distance from the Netherlands in the 70s. To to
the US He was like $5 A minute and there was this echo line and
you could hear this all this hiss and so people wrote letters
type letters, and there was a type letter in there. And at the
end, my dad's system I should have in front Mr. Somebody
effective. Well, I hope everything's going well in the
US and we can hold back those perverted pinko commies. Like,
wow, people really talk that way, about the Russians in the
70s. And that was just normal parlance.
Yeah, there's a lot of normal parlance you can find it in some
old movies that unfortunately, they keep trying to keep the
kids from hearing it. And which is kind of a shame. Because what
do you mean? Well, like when the movies about Japan with Japs was
just the normal parlance for referring to Japanese people.
Are you are you asking for this to come back? Is that you're
not asking me back. Dammit. What I'm saying, if you let me
finish, I'm just saying these are historical documents, these
movies and to prevent people from having to get to hear this
stuff. They won't realize how you know how much has changed.
You don't get any perspective. There's no perspective. And you
need to hear about pinko commies. Yeah. Which is true.
They call them pinko commies. Reds. Reds. Yep. For perspective
and perspective is being lost. And I think we win perspective
is lost. You lose a lot more than just historical
information. I think you'd lose a grip on reality.
pinko Yeah, that's true. There was something I wanted that when
I Oh, yes, there was a promo I think this is the History
Channel because you mentioned the read. Listen to this.
The book of Revelation foretells four horsemen who will bring
God's final judgment, the white horse or the Antichrist, the
pale horse of pestilence, the Black Horse of famine, and the
Red Horse of the appearance of the rider on the red horse
promises to pace mankind, a crossfire between the forces of
good and evil in the battle of Armageddon.
So wait a minute, so we've got the reds, we got that we got the
red horsemen. We got the we got the the the black Horsemen of
pestilence. One of my messy Bill Gates. Well, it's COVID we have
the Horsemen of food famine, which is on its way. But we
haven't identified the Antichrist yet. Oh, that's Putin
know many people. Many people say that many Christians know
who they think it's going to be. Who's gonna turn out to be?
Trump? Jared Kushner?
Oh, yes, I've heard this a million. I've heard this too.
I'm, I'm clued into this. Jared.
I love this. I love this
crap. Kushner. Yeah, I don't know. I want to just say
something you should note. That debt came from the History
Channel. What happened to these people? Right in the History
Channel become the Hitler space alien channel.
They had lack of ratings and they saw what worked. And then
by the way, I'd like to say something about CNN plus,
because it's, it's please It's not entirely fair. What's going
on here? So everyone's all jacked. More than oops, you
thought it was you can't think it's fair because you just got
killed on your back. Okay.
You think back I think it's more than fair. And but I appreciate
your comments.
The reason I so you know, the story is CNN plus they went
streaming. There was a lot of big name talent. It was a Chris
Wallace from Fox went over. And a lot of people check about
cetera
do who else? Oh, Scott
Galloway. Never heard of him. You do it. That's from the
professor and cairanne Yeah, no, yeah. These kinds of but anyway,
Brian Stelter. And so after a month, they had 10,000
subscribers. That's, that's what's out on That's the word on
the street. And so it got shut
down that I have a correction. I believe, I could be wrong, but I
believe it's 100,000 subscribers, but only 10,000
Viewers
possible. And then so after a month, it gets shut down and is
heralded immediately as a win over the woke. And that's, I'll
tell you what went down here. This was planned before the the
takeover before the before. Discovery is about the way TNT
really is about to buy CNN. And so the new management came in
and they saw this thing and they went okay, that's great. We're
shutting that shit down. And And we'll put up because they want
to have a whole different streaming strategy. I guess they
want to do a big discovery app or I'm not sure what they ask
every plus but yeah, but what they don't want us to break it
up into all these little pieces. And in fact, they say that some
of the programming they were doing, I can't imagine what will
roll over to CNN. I got a piece of that I got a piece of the, my
goodness Where's where Stelter Stelter had a huge show. With
it, that was the that was the the woke show and listen to
this. I'm sad, and I hope to Brian Stelter does get to
continue to do his his streaming productions, because it's
glorious to listen to the
latest on Elon Musk shortly, but we're leading today's show, with
the rarely seen human toll of America's latest fight over
LGBTQ rights. Let's just be honest,
hold on a second America's latest spice Oh, it's not
America's latest fight. I think so. How
was it latest was just started last week. What is he talking
about? Because
it's nonstop. We're just a bunch of eight holes fight
over LGBTQ rights. Let's just be honest, okay. Hate and
homophobia is lurking right beneath the surface in American
politics right now. years of increasing acceptance of gays
and transgenders is provoking a backlash on right wing talk
shows and in state houses. That's the backdrop for this
Washington Post piece about limbs of Tik Tok a Twitter
account that shares and sometimes ridicules public posts
from progressive educators and others deemed a libs lib
somebody Lorenzo's story revealed the identity of the
conservative woman running lives of Tik Tok. And now there's a
roiling debate about her story and the ethics of it. But
there's no debating the influence of the lives of Tik
Tok account. It's even helped inform Florida's recent parental
rights wall deemed the don't say gay bill by opponents. So here's
what I want to know. What's it like to be caught in the middle
of all this? What's it like for an educator? Who says that don't
say gay law is a life or death issue for young trans people?
So that's the last is the last sentence. What's it like for
life or death issue for young trans people? Well, what does He
consider young because this will affect seven year olds and
younger but it the way he says it kind of comes across as you
know, young like teenagers.
Third graders,
third graders
exactly what third grader second grader for that matter, first
grader I was a former first grader and I was in the second
and third grade and I remember very clearly what was going on
that I had a crush on my teacher I think it was Miss Rose and you
know just a dumb you know, she's a pretty and I didn't you know
girls were you know, there were there and if you had a chance to
pull on her hair something this is kind of dumb crap. You get up
you know, you might kind of be attracted to women who you're
you weren't thinking about sex that's for sure. You I think
that begun begin with your when you're a boy it takes longer
girls I guess get a clue earlier but around 12 who's thinking of
turning into a want to change their gender when they're seven?
Well that depends if if your parents are have been
indoctrinated and are taught to be on alert for signs and
there's a path and there's an entire infrastructure and time
for
it to be alive. I like I was always told this and I vaguely
remember when I was a little little kid I liked dolls. I just
like dolls. I think they were fun to you. Were like, you know
toy soldiers of the same thing to me. look him up and you'd
have them fight
him. I always had the green army men shoot my sister's dolls.
That was pretty cool.
That was good. I like that. That's cool. We used to have
captains in the day it
was absolute guns. Yes, Cap guns. They'll
beautiful even do that. And we can't do anything. Oh
my. My teacher's name was Miss Casper. I did also have a
crusher Miss Casper. But it was Bernie was her last name. At her
birthday party. I can't remember the last night I gave her a
gift. And I remember my mom was there and a whole bunch of kids
you know when people given gifts, and then she just lunged
forward and kiss me for it. And I remember like, holy crap, what
just happened?
What what grade was this first grade?
Wow. And she was cute. I read at least what I remember. I wish I
remembered her last name.
You must have been. You must have been a cute little kid. You
have pictures of you in the first grade? Yeah. His cute
little kids cute little boys. Oh, you know, I think you'd get
kissed a lot
after that. After that. I got bullied a lot. It's like oh,
you're
now a Hey, pretty boy. Come over here.
So Speaking of the latest what is seltzer water say they're the
latest to LGBTQ fight and misery is Newsweek. Newsweek has an
article, the new homophobia. I listen to this. There is a
frightening This is Newsweek, there's a frightening new
version of homophobia pervading the US disguise as of all things
LGBTQ activism. For adult gay people like me, it's clear that
the activism does not advance our equality but in fact
compromises our ability to live peacefully in society. In fact,
it's threatening our very existence. So then, it's an
opinion piece the writer goes on to talk about he enrolled in
Columbia to complete his undergraduate and he volunteered
a Maryland's marriage equality campaign and a subsequent
transgender rights legislation against gay gay man.
This is part of that we've, by the way, we should mention that
it's been years that you I think, initially spotted and I
followed up the anti gay male movement, which is part of LGBTQ
AI, plus
LGBT LGBTQ Qi people. My excitement about the internship
quickly gave way to a nauseating mixture of fear and shame. I was
quickly learned, not the right kind of queer, I was just
another sis gay male. In other words, a privileged and
unevolved relic of the past. After all, I had my rights the
right to marry the right to serve openly in the military,
the right to assimilate into this oppressive sis
heteronormative patriarchal society, it was time to wait
wave for a new generation of queer one that had very little
to do with sex based rights and more to do with abolishing the
concepts of sex and sexuality together. It's worth it's worth
a read. But as, as we've talked about many times, to say LGBTQ
community is just a bunch of bullcrap the ELLs actually move
the L in front of the G.
Yes, we pointed that out years ago. Yeah. In fact, I think was
at some point, it was GBL. It was it was a bisexual live
brought this up when I was at.
Yep, no talking about that. That was great. Hold on, because you
brought this up. What?
I brought this up when I was at the cranky geek show, we had a
one of the producers was real gay. I mean, I'm dead. I sound
right. That's fast. You know?
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I hope he's listening.
Yeah, he's not listening. He doesn't care. But this was one
of the he was very aggressive gay. So he would go on these
cruises to he would talk about any tell us everything. He goes
on these gay cruises that were that took place. And he said the
main place he would always go was Haiti. The backside of Haiti
was a place where all these gay cruises would go. And he knew
that there was pretty raucous. But he, he I brought this up to
him. And he says he says a lot of gay men are still irked about
the switcheroo were somehow the elder to the front of that
little moniker. Sure, absolutely. It was gay, lesbian,
gay. Gay LGBT. It was no it'll be T.
Yes. GLBT. You're right. Gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender.
That's right there. Well, but first, I think was G. G. GBL. Or
gob? I can't remember exactly. I
don't remember. Anyway, it was I remember when it was G LBT. I
remember it. And he I brought it up to him and he was he was
still or AC. He says a lot of people are irked about this.
It's really
stupid because they are in fact being exclusive. They're not.
He's a sis gay male. I thought this could only work for us.
Now. Oh, yeah. We're just the SIS guys.
It's unbelievable. Now let them fight amongst themselves just
the way I see it.
So what does this mean? In the troll room? Imagine being proud
of knowing all of the queer groups WT F Adam? Yeah, I care
about Americans. I don't care what they are. We
are news and analysts. We have to have you think the guy in the
troll room think we should be idiots about this and not know
what does that mean? Yeah. What is the cue in that debt bike
ride? Oh, no. Now we have to know this stuff. Whether you
like it or not. Exactly.
There's a real revolt taking place in California. Hello.
Desert revolt in Fredericksburg. Got a gay couple who've been
running a very, very famous restaurant there for 1215 years.
And they're like they what is this BS BS what's going on?
They're getting mad now. So it's dumb. It's dumb. There will be a
revolt.
Can we switch topics so and get to date to kind of funny this is
about totalitarianism. They is becoming a topic now in NPR.
Okay, so then this this involves and ask Adam was the fourth part
Order by Porter actually, they brought this woman on to discuss
either a Ford or a rerelease of an Hannah Arendt book. And I
thought this was pretty funny. This is Annie Apple bomb. She's
on NPR talking to him. And this is I who was the first clip is
Annie Applebaum, NPR propaganda and this will give us our lead.
We turn now to Anne Applebaum, the Pulitzer Prize winning
historian has written about the current rise of populist
authoritarian regimes around the world. She's authored the
introduction to the new folio society edition of Hannah Arendt
post world war two classic, The Origins of Totalitarianism that
may seem especially resonant during these times of Russia's
invasion of Ukraine, Chinese mass detention centers and the
insurrection of January 6 2001.
Okay, Roger that.
So Anne Applebaum.
She works for the Atlantic I think she writes for The
Atlantic.
I think she would, yeah, she might. But But this idea that
you've got Putin, you've got China, you got January 6, I
mean, you got to hit Larry, you got to stall and you got January
6, some believable these people. That's it's it's totally
unbelievable.
Propaganda is it's what it is. It's propaganda. It's groovy,
it that's why this is called propaganda. Okay, here we go.
Part two, he begin
by writing to quote us so many of the seemingly novel illnesses
that afflict modern society are really just resurgent cancers.
So what do you see, as you look around the world today,
including the United States,
starting with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the use of mass
violence, the use of torture and concentration camps, filtration
camps to deport stop the clever
use of it, didn't he say, when you look around the United
States,
or in society are really just resurgent cancers? So what do
you see, as you look around the world today, including the
United States, including
TJ, say, we're looking I made a mistake they're starting, but
she doesn't. She starts with Russia.
Starting with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the use of mass
violence, the use of torture and concentration camps, filtration
camps, to deport people on mass, the use of genocidal language in
that conflict, Putin's language about his discussion of
eradicating Ukraine from the map, the use of falsehoods and
propaganda on a mass scale. And that's something we see not only
in Russia, we see it in other countries. And of course, we see
it in the United States. The attempt to create alternate
realities, Hannah Arendt wrote extensively about the way in
which propaganda creates a different reality for people to
live in or can do. And this of course, we didn't have time
before. Social media and modern technology made that even easier
than it was in her era.
Yeah, that's what we had to get rid of the Smith Mundt act
because it was so easy. Yeah.
So it's a couple of things there. And that little clip,
they always bring this sort of thing up because they're trying
to pin everything on Putin. But when they mentioned that, and I
don't know that he's ever said he wants to wipe Ukraine off the
map.
No, that seems like a bastardization of what Iran
wants to do with Israel. Kind of a Tie Point
why they well that's what palace the Palestinians would love to
do with Israel. And that's what they like to teach and that's
what a lot of these Middle Eastern countries like do with
Israel but this doesn't this will never get mentioned in this
May in this liberal media. Environment. No, why would they
won't No, no, no, that's not good. No,
no, don't do that. I'm sure Oh, no,
Putin. In fact, it goes on let's play the clip. This is where she
talks about Russia this the Russia
part of it. First of all, I don't think they would stop in
Ukraine, they would move on to Poland to the Baltic states even
to Germany I think.
Okay, that right to determinate gets everything. She said, Hold
on a second. First of
all, I don't think they would stop in Ukraine, they would move
on to Poland, to the Baltic states, even to Germany, I
think,
Wow.
She's this woman, oh, man, actually thinks the Russians are
going to not stop Ukraine, even though they can't even get
halfway through there. They won't stop with Ukraine. They're
gonna go to Poland and Germany, and then Germany. So right
there. This is a person who is I think, clinically insane. This
is not an analyst that you would want to have on a show and of
course, this guy didn't push back at all. In fact, let's
listen to this. This pairing of clips this is all NPR by the way
with a national treasure. This isn't a this this There's an
apple bomb on social media and this is Q. Adam, because this is
gonna, this is going to cue me ask a question afterwards.
Actually, there's a lot of evidence that the kind of
connection that you get from social media only makes you feel
more lonely and isolated. You know, people talk about being on
social media, and feeling afterwards worse about
themselves worse about their relationships. And one of the
things she writes about in her book is the way in which
autocrats use loneliness so they separate people from one
another. And that then makes it easier to dominate them. Because
when people aren't able to act together, when they're not
active, when they're not participants in society, then
they can't push back. They can't even think about the nature of
the political reality that they live in.
Okay, I'm biting my tongue.
So I'm listening to that thinking, Oh, my God, that's an
interesting observation she made back in the 50s is panning
errant. Do you think that might for example, apply to let's say,
like COVID lockdowns? Yes, it's a friend that came to mind COVID
lock downs and the COVID lock downs are used as a political
tool. No,
wait, what she said is the isolation become easier to
control. She is describing the exact setup for mass formation.
And then what you need for mass formation to be besides all the
isolation and free floating anxieties is you need something
that people can bond to. During COVID. Lockdown, I was matched
social distancing vaccine now during in inflation and in
general malaise. The thing we can all get together and and
focus on is Putin. So yes, yes, it's a technique.
So I will so the journalist in May, I would ask about the idea
of the because she's leading right into it. Yeah. That these
this that lock downs are what you just described, not social
media.
So how would you phrase that exactly to her?
I would say, Well, what you said is interesting, because it, it
brings to mind the lock downs, lock downs, create loneliness,
lock downs, do this lock downs, do that. So that would be
something I'd expect to come out. What comes out, do you
think do you think that's what he's asked?
Somehow? I don't think our NPR national treasure reporter asked
anything about that.
Let's see what he says.
And does it make us vulnerable to misinformation?
Okay, yes, hold on. Let me pivot right to this. So you remember I
read to you the Brookings Institution, podcast that needs
to be moderated piece on the
last show as a 10 point gem, yes.
Now, I was reviewing this because I was talking to Dave
Jones about it and podcasting 2.0 context. And I'm reviewing
this, this, this this piece. And this, the person who wrote the
book to artificial intelligence, data scientists who penned this
and you called it he said, It seems kind of like a repeat. And
I was like, Haven't we already heard all this? So then I
started kind of looking at the meat of this, of what they've
done here. And again, this is all about policy recommendations
for podcast. And listen to this. Below the level of blatantly
illegal content, the most popular podcasting apps face a
daunting challenge. On the one hand, given the scale and reach
of apps like Spotify and Apple podcast, each now enjoys more
than 25 million podcast listeners in the United States.
Their content moderation policies need to account for the
societal harms that can result from the mass distribution of
hate speech and misinformation. Popular podcasts played a
prominent role in spreading the so called big lie in the lead up
to the January 6 assault on the US Capitol. So prominent role is
a link so I click on the link, and we go to on the morning of
January 6 2021, Steve Bannon encouraged the audience of his
podcast not to waver in their faith. Okay, I continue to read.
They've also been a key vector in spreading misinformation
related to COVID 19 vaccines, leading to unnecessary deaths.
And again, an article about Steve Bannon. So, you know,
Steve Bannon is not the boss of of all podcasts, at all say the
least. But then President Obama gives a speech people like Putin
and Steve Bannon, for that matter. understand it's not
necessary for people to believe this information in order to
weaken democratic institutions. You just have to flood The
country's Public Square with enough raw sewage. He doesn't
have to raise enough questions spread enough dirt.
So what are the chances that we have this Brookings Institution?
paper coming out clearly focused on one podcaster Steve Bannon,
for sure, a popular podcast. And the President Obama highlights
him as well. Well, you could have highlighted, if anything,
if you want to say, hey, podcasts are killing people, why
not grab Joe Rogan? You know, he told people to eat horse paste,
did he not what people got no Steve Bannon?
Yeah, but there's a good reason for Steve Bannon and not Joe
Rogan.
Well, there's lots of good reasons.
No, there's one good reason. Steve Bannon is closely
associated with Trump. He was a member of the Trump
administration for years the strategist chief strategist for
a while and he's still associated even though he
doesn't even I don't even know if the two of them like each
other anymore. But Steve Bannon is connected to Trump Rogan is
not he's not connected to Trump in the least. And if you find
somebody else that was doing a podcast that was anything like
Steve Bannon has that was connected to Trump they throw
him in, but Steve ban has a low hanging fruit. I don't know if
he's a fruit or not low hanging.
But there's just no coincidences in politics I'm listening to
it's like, okay, what a setup
Oh, this is part of the whole thing. They've they're just
trying to these guys are so preoccupied with Trump and his
influence on the Republican Party. They can't seem to, you
know, shake it, they can't shake it. And then ban is just another
example.
So censorship, or you know, call it what you want content
moderation.
censorship.
Yes. Seems to have hit home. But not here. No, no, there's juicy
and I was reading through it a little bit. I have some
highlights but juicy legislation. In the European
Union,
the European Union agreed on legislation today for landmark
new rules that will push the world's biggest social media
companies to stop the spread of online information
misinformation, I should say it's called the Digital Services
Act. And it's expected to be passed into law in Europe where
companies like Google Mehta and Twitter could face fines if they
don't remove hate speech, propaganda or other material
from their sites.
This is gonna be a mess. We couldn't even I mean, half the
sites in the United States have just given up on GDPR on the the
EU regulation of data privacy. How many websites have we well,
last time I was there, you bring it up in the EU is like, sorry,
you're in the EU, we can't give you this content. So now now all
now they're going to force all these companies to deal with
hate speech. Hate speech. Mind you hate speech. This is just
this started with the bullying. We couldn't believe it. 10 years
ago, 11 years ago, your story after story about a bullying
bully. And we as the boomers we are taped, what happened to
sticks and stones will break my bones. And then we got bullying
laws from another was legislation in some states, and
then that turned into hate speech, completely protected by
the Constitution. Now, the European Union doesn't follow
the United States Constitution, they do have a number of
freedom. And by the way, they don't talk about freedom of
speech in the EU documents. It's freedom of expression, which I
think is a subtle but important difference. And this and you
know, this thing is being ramrodded down the EU's throat
and of course it's not all approved yet and it has to go
through the Starfleet Command. And then they're going to you
know, then then the unimportant parliament will vote with no
say, that doesn't mean that AMI doesn't pan economy. pinkos it
doesn't pad it's not like they can really stop anything. Oh,
no, it failed. No, it just means it goes back and it gets a
yellow card and they change some things and send it back and have
a little chat with everybody. You think you got to get on
board with this. So this is going to be a mess. And it's
gonna it's going to make and it's going to affect the US too.
Just in how stuff works. Or it was is Twitter just going to be
a bunch of Yankees yapping at each other. That's boring.
Well, I don't know. Tommy pinkos
this I've been reading through these documents. It's a
Hootenanny
nannies where you sit around and sing along
no it Yeah, well, it's there. They're doing a Hootenanny sing
along it's it's real. It's thick. There's so much and
there's liability and oh man, they're killing they're killing
the internet.
Which they're trying to Yeah, you probably wouldn't. I mean,
every everything you're talking everything you're talking about
just keeps on ticking. Are there any VPNs that are publicly
traded? Yeah,
I get a lot of requests about what VPN do you use? What do you
use? John, can you talk about that?
What IP do I recommend to VPNs? Nord and P. P I think is a PA
Private Internet Access. Is that you? Oh, I like we use both of
them.
Hillary Clinton is
by the way, you know, if you use opera as a browser, it's got a
VPN built Hylton to turn that on, it works pretty well.
Hillary Clinton tweets for too long tech platforms have
amplified disinformation and extremism with no
accountability, the EU is poised to do something about it. I urge
our transatlantic allies to push the Digital Services Act across
the finish line and bolster global democracy. Global
democracy, Hillary before it's too late. How does how does how
does the online the Digital Services Act? Somehow spur
global democracy? Does every country get a vote now or? No?
And so instead of fact checkers, they this is the this is my last
bit on this instead of fact checkers they have a new term
trusted flaggers which to me is a Showtime something
it goes on in a nudist colony.
If that sounds like a show title to me as like trusted flaggers I
like it. So you're gonna have people who are I guess, Culebra
tours. Or maybe we in Holland who called NSB ears, who will be
sleuthing along and they'll be trusted, you know, they'll have
some kind of status. I'm thinking an armband, or
something cool like that. Or maybe a maybe an ID a special,
handsome wallet ID that says trusted flagger back off, and
they're going to be snooping around and they'll recruit just
10s of 1000s of them, and you'll be flagged by these trusted
flaggers. They're going to recruit citizens to snark and,
and snitch on on their neighbors.
This would be Macintosh users who hate me personally.
My uncle Rennie is ah, gosh, Ren is 86 I think he's, he's the
NASA scientist. And he says, you know, Devorah McMahon. I read
him all the time back in the Apple two days. And he was I
think it was quite a fan. To be
back for him.
So So unfortunately, we had a little moment there, where I
thought that we'd have, you know, an acceleration of the
fediverse which is what no agenda social.com is a part of.
It's the mastodon and you can have a we I think we did it
smart way. We have Max 10,000 people, but you can create your
own Mastodon server, you can join as many others, you know,
some, some may block us but that's kind of how it's supposed
to work. And so it scales that way, in a distributed manner.
True social, which was Trump's was supposed to be Trump's big
social network, as we know, was rolling out on on Mastodon and,
you know, what I understood was, they weren't going to federate
right away, but at least it was, you know, the system has no
algorithms, and there was the potential to you know, to really
scale it much bigger with with other systems that failed. I
believe, sadly, the guys who were doing it for whatever
reason, they couldn't get it to scale. And now the worst thing
that could happen to social migrates to the rumble cloud. So
we're right. Yeah, we're right back where we were, you know,
centralized system algorithms. It's I'm not saying it's going
to be exactly like rumble but if you're on the rumble cloud using
the infrastructure don't just gonna have another centralized
piece of crap system No, I'm sad about that. It was it was they
had the right idea these guys but I can see you know, oh, no,
we have to be number one the best Yeah, no, there's that.
Yeah. And so a way it went well, it didn't go to bitch shoot.
Does always Bridey on and with that, I'd like to thank you for
your courage say in the morning to the man who put the sea in
the curry reunion ladies and gentlemen say hello to my
colleague, Mr. John C. Devorah.
Well, anybody in this room curioso in the morning all ships
and sea boots on the ground feet near subs in the water it all
names and nights out there.
Let's not mess around. Let's just say in the morning to the
trolls and the troll room. Let's count them right away. Hello.
Okay, hands up trolls. Let me see how many we have here. How
many are in the troll room? And did I get anything that? No, I
have nothing. Okay, the oh here count was failing. Try one more
time
it's failing. I have no idea. I have no idea how many trolls are
in the troll room? Maybe someone Oh, there we go 2303
That's reasonable. That's
very reasonable for Sunday. Well, trolls. Good to see you
here. Thanks for hanging out thanks for waiting extra long.
In fact it's, it's we can't really compare it fairly because
we're not doing the show live at the same time so maybe we get
more people. Oh wait, here we go 2268 Okay, so we got a new nerd
dropping like
flies.
If you want to troll along and make horrible comments, so we
can slam you on the show, go to troll room.io and hop in that
troll room and you can of course are listening live on Thursdays
and Sundays. It's a 24 hour stream no agenda. stream.com
does all kinds of live programming Darren O'Neal did
for our rock'n'roll pre stream that pre show and I think it was
taking requests and he's always interacting with the troll room.
And if it's just a recorded podcast and you control each
other or just comment on a troll room.io you get both in one
shot. We talked about no agenda social.com If you want to see
what all the hullabaloo is about, then follow Adam at no
agenda social.com or Jhansi DeVore I had no agenda
social.com And you can participate in the gizmo nation
a conversation there. And we'd like to thank the artists for
episode 1445 or 44. Sorry, that was capitalist agenda. Who
brought us list capitalist agenda, who brought us a very
nice piece of art that had all kinds of problems, but we still
loved it. And this was the cheesecake. redhead. Yeah. With
the mat with her mask removed a mask tan line and little
airplane in the back and it was just a completely nice piece. I
got some pushback on it. You know, like well, how come?
There's no tan line over her nose? Oh, good point. And wow,
how come there's two loops on one side?
Yeah, by the way, there are masks with two loops like that.
Okay, well, I thought that I thought that knot over the nose
was a pretty good catch.
Dad No nut the nose catch was dynamite. I agree with that. But
you know, come on. It's a by the way. A it's a cartoon.
Yes. True. Let's take a look what else we saw in the
there was a lot we there was a lot of there was a lot I kind of
was attracted because I to the to the redhead because of the
cheesecake as a big advocate of this and even though it's old
school, it's Texas old school idea of how to get attention
there were you put a pretty girl on there instead of you know,
Biden, let's say Fauci,
you might get a click or two more.
I liked the CDC. I like Parker Polly with the with the bag over
the head of the people. We talked about that.
Yeah. You like the Mickey Mouse, flipping the finger.
I love the Mickey Mouse flipping the finger but it was you know,
unfortunately, I don't think we should be using flipping the
finger as our art. But I liked the way it was executed. I
thought it was excellent as Derek Darren O'Neill Parker
Polly also did a nice job with the airplane dropping a bunch of
masks, big mouth.
That was unclear to me because I didn't immediately it looked
like little diamonds or something didn't quite register
as a mask to me right away.
Yeah, yeah,
we we talked about the dare and no agenda woke flicks now with
ads, which in a pinch would have been usable.
But I liked the walk flicks quite a bit. You liked it. We
both liked it. It didn't have the oomph
missing. Yes. And we got a lot of feedback on this on the piece
that we chose like Oh, kind of under produced since we
complained about overproduction of art if you saw that going on
any social is under pressure.
In fact a damn Kenny Ben who was condemned for one of her pieces
did a piece on us condemning it which we noticed and and I then
I pointed out on the note no agenda social that her her
typography on the on the on the bubble was too small. So she she
redid it, but she's glad that we didn't weren't offended by the
fact that we're represented by a bald fart Whose dog is peeing on
his feet. Beautiful as we criticize her piece. It was a
great piece. inside jokes were a winner. I mean, this is As a dis
was kind of the the main thing comic strip blogger specialized
in for probably a year
yeah
yes just this kind of
he gave up on that he I think he got tired of doing funny art
inside jokes and it never getting used go figure
was never gonna use it the idea is just to get our attention.
But we appreciate capitalist agenda and and the work that all
of our artists do please have a look at no agenda, artwork, no
agenda art generator.com It's well worth it. And of course you

Reverend cyber trucker night of the asphalt rivers. Keep up the
humanitarian work, gents. Thank you and we'll see you at the
roundtable.
Sir, Stoner Boehner, thank you for that one. in Kent.
Washington comes in next week for another 20 bucks we were
actually very short on today's donations but Adam was traveling
and I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Guys he
writes her stoner Boehner here coming in with my annual
donation to show appreciation a meant to send this on for 20 but
celebrated too hard and for got using f f f the number four and
got is an interesting look to it. Forget looks like a disease.
I continue to appreciate everything you do to keep us
sane. A karma jingle to all Knights and Dames, please.
Yes, we shouldn't do such you know there was I gotta tell you
story about the 420 You've got karma. So I got a note from one
of our producers who executive proofs for the last show and had
a really weird donation number. It was something like 359 16 And
then he had all these like, to Fauci wheezes and other Fauci is
like a weird jingle combo. Remember that? Yeah. And I we
couldn't quite figure it out. And so he he emails me said, you
know, I have to be honest, and I'm a tad disappointed. And I'm
like, Well, what is this about? Because I donated I thought you
would get the for 20 joke. And what happened is he donated $420
Canadian, and thinking that we see of course, the 420 get the
joke and then there's all this Fauci wheeze like he's inhaling
bogarting a joint passing it on, but because it was translated
into dollars, it became you know, a number that was
completely unrecognizable. Something we need to you need to
be aware of if you're sending in Canada Navion dollar rates or
Australian Dollar reduce. Expect that if if it's a Numerology
thing that put that in the note,
put it into notes. So this is 420 Canadian dollar, dollar
rates and we
still critically no matter where the dollar is from we credit you
equal on the US and why they'll probably eventually Yeah, even
the accounting. So thank you very much for that and thank
you, sir. Stoner Boehner, Michael jewel is in Livonia,

vora.org/and a thank
you for bringing your time talent and treasure the three
T's that make it all happen.
Our formula is this we go out for your people in the mouth
Hey, okay,
I have a series of clips on the Florida situation.
And we still have I mean, the don't say gay bill or the Disney
stuff. Or this, I guess also, same thing, it's kind of the
same thing.
Well, actually, it also fits into this which is about masks,
okay, anything that demean Florida. I'm talking about the
judge who said you can't you want to wear a mask and everyone
went nuts. Right? What turns into a hit piece on NPR and this
poor judge and it's I think it's a shameless hit peace. Okay, and
I think it's worth playing this decision on Matt. Sorry. No,
I was waiting for your cue and I hit it wrong. Okay.
Oh, no, I'm sorry. Judge decision on mass hit peace and
PR
nearly all major airlines transit systems and ride sharing
services have made masks optional After ruling earlier
this week from Judge Katherine Kimball Mizel that abruptly
struck down the rule from the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention that required masks on public transit by the
administration waited a couple of days before announcing Nate
appealed the ruling and perished Lena Simmons Duffin has been
speaking with health law experts all week. Selena, thanks for
being with us.
Hi, morning, Scott. First. She got the NPR mo memo. Hi,
morning. Scott
was in judge my sales opinion.
Yeah, so judge Mizel was nominated by former President
Trump and she was given a rating of unqualified by the American
Bar Association because of her limited time practicing law and
her lack of trial experience.
Wow, is that true? I didn't know that.
Yeah, well, of course you go ad hominem when you have something
that you know you don't want to what she's doing now. It's gonna
do it. No, no, she's she's, first of all Trump. Yep.
unqualified, unqualified. She's unqualified in some way we don't
have and by the way, she's going to now the next part of it.
She's going to talk about some people who told her what they
think. And instead of balancing it with maybe somebody says,
yeah, there's probably a pretty good decision because who needs
this kind of aggravation? No, no, no, we have none of that.
It's all negative. And it's just it this is what is this is a
classic journalistic hitch piece on the poor judge. Here we go.
In this ruling, she found that CDC didn't have the authority to
issue this mask requirement and that it didn't follow the right
procedures. Legal experts I talked with this week had very
strong words about this opinion. One called it a legal
abomination.
Whoa, you got butt slap
another set of red like a first year law students exam. And they
said the reasoning was a stretch and that she ignored legal
norms. Whoa, and that this ruling has huge implications.
Not only did it lead to people pulling off their masks
midflight all over the country. But it could have the effect of
limiting the power of CDC to issue public health rules down
the line.
Now, there's no other side to this, of course, because why
would you do that? I'm sure somebody that thinks it was a
good decision. Do
you mean that didn't balance it out? Even a little bit?
No, no, no, none whatsoever. It's
class that's disappointing.
It's par for the course.
What makes our show better? For sure. That's always fun. But
yeah,
it's good for the show. So no, they just blast her and she's an
idiot. And she's you know, everyone that we I time when I
talked to says she's stupid. And then they go off into this
actually, what's interesting in these clips is there's actually
something revealing that I found kind of interesting at the end,
let's go to part three,
then why did it take a few days for the Department of Justice,
under the Biden administration to file an appeal?
Yeah, it's kind of strange. If the government wanted this back
into effect right away, you would have expected lightning
speed like they would have asked for an emergency pause on her
decision right away, but they didn't. Stephen Vladek teaches
law at the University of Texas. And he has a theory about this,
which relates to the fact that the mandate is set to end on May
3,
because the mandate is about to expire. Anyway. It seems just as
possible that the government's real goal is to wipe off the
books judge micelles rule in striking it down.
How does that work? I mean, I took civics in high school, but
I still don't understand how does that work?
It's a little obscure. So this is the part of the story that
has a surprising connection to underwear from the 1940s.
Oh, nice one. Okay. We're going from hit peace to bathroom
humor.
So what this guy brings up is interesting. Now this assumes,
of course, nobody's going to fight what they're going to try
to pull here and it's a stunt is the Democrats stunt? The idea is
is the paroling really screwed up the idea that the CDC could
become a little Himmler and you know, tell you what the okay
when the health department guy shut it down, shut it down.
We'll
also the May 3 date was not an ending date. That was a
continuation, another two weeks, of which there will be another
review after two weeks to see if we should do two more weeks. But
yes, I agree even what Jen Psaki said is this is about future use
of the to determine what power the CDC has, and I and of
course, that's going to be super important for the next lockdown.
When if it's bird flu, or if it's gunfire or because it's
also bad for your health, whatever it is,
or your your favorite climate change.
Well, of course, that's what we expect is stay indoors bad
climate day. What does that have to do with ISIS in the 40s?
So let's well they explained it I think this is kind of tricky.
And I thought this was the part that no it not mainstream really
didn't pick up on these guys, this woman or this, this
professor at UT over there down in Austin, he picked up on it.
And actually I think he may have blown it because this could have
been let to slide until they let the cat out of the bag and smart
money's gonna go. Wait a minute. Okay, we got to take this a
little more seriously. Thanks to him. So let's hear it.
Stick with me. Back in 1944, the federal government sued Mansingh
were a Minnesota based underwear company because it said the
company had overpriced its heavy net underwear. And that violated
wartime price controls. It took years for the case to wind its
way through the appeals process. And by the time it got to the
Supreme Court in 1950. There were no more price controls on
the underwear. So in its decision, the Supreme Court
established the Muncie where doctrine. Basically, if the
dispute has gone away during the appeals process, the higher
court can wipe the lower court's ruling away. So in this case,
after May 3 Vladeck says
the government can say Look, we're not going to have a chance
to argue why judge micelles ruling was incorrect. Therefore,
the proper thing to do is to wipe that ruin off the books and
just dismiss this entire lawsuit.
Of course he says only the government knows its legal
strategy here. But every day that the government does not
request to stay he's more convinced that this is the real
goal to vacate the ruling so that legally speaking, it never
happened.
Wow. So that the Supreme Court would have to do that.
I don't know how I think I think no, it's because Munson where a
doctrine was already established and put that in flow. Just
say the Supreme Court ruled that way. And here we go. Yeah. Wow,
that's a good catch. It's very tricky. It's legal. It's a legal
trick.
They put, you're gonna pull this legal trick and at the same
time, while we're at it, let's just slam this poor woman out of
the blue and demean her and smear her the best we can with
no balance whatsoever, and make this whole thing one sided,
lopsided in a very unfair manner. very ad hoc, ad hominem
manner, which is what NPR did, and they should be very proud of
themselves.
You know, I'm a little disappointed, quite frankly,
they could have said something about Nick. They could have
added, you know, she's ugly. You know, her good. Her mom wears
army boots, you know, they could have been anything, they could
have added all kinds of stuff. Wow, that's a good one. It's
very important on par. And now, aside from climate change, May
22 to 28th is is the big international health regulation
amendments session, which will be voted on by the World Health
Assembly. And President Biden is going to be there. Let me see.
We have there's a number of inbody. Yeah, so this was
announced by the White House announced this, the US has
chaired the first summit last September, which we did have is
CO hosting the upcoming meeting with Belize. They are the
Caribbean Community chair CARICOM, Germany and be in
charge of this. There they hold they hold the g7 presidency,
Indonesia, who currently is hold the presidency of the G 20. And
Senegal as the African Union chair, and what the White House
says they will be redoubling their collective efforts to end
the acute phase of COVID 19 pandemic and prepare for future
health threats. So the hosts, which includes us, the US are
calling on world leaders, members of civil society,
nongovernmental organization, philanthropist and the private
sector to make new commitments and bring solutions to vaccinate
the world. I think we actually have a clip of that homeless
second, you'll like this. I thought I had a vaccinate the
world. Well, maybe somewhere. So what I've been trying to get to
in the past couple of episodes is this treaty, the pandemic
treaty that the World Health Organization, supposedly is
drawing up is drafting. And it's the International Health
Regulations, which the US agreed to in 2005. And these are
treaties that that can the President agreed to a treaty
without Congress voting on it. I think Congress has to approve
thought they had to Yeah. The 75th meeting of the World Health
Assembly will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, May 22 to 28th, the
assembly will vote on the amendments to the International
Health regulation. And this is the vaccinate the world thing,
the pandemic treaty. And it means that when the World Health
Organization and subsequently the International Health
Regulations, call for lockdowns, vaccinations, etc. We have to
adhere to it if it gets passed by by Congress if it has to be
ratified by Congress. So this is this is New World Order stuff
they're doing here. Yeah. And there's very little known about
it. But you can go to Don't you dare dot info to get a probably
slanted spine. I thought we had the I have that vaccinate the
world. Disappointed now.
I have it. I have a couple of things that are kind of along
these lines. Just they're different. But they're kind of
again, you have to You're good at this. And you have to tell me
what's going on here. This is on 22nd of April, just two days
ago. Bill Gates gave a TED Talk to spike the ball about his 20
years earlier TED talk 2015 I think when he predicted a
pandemic, right, but he spiking the ball and talking about
what's next, the next horrible thing, and I just have two sub
clips. I could have probably gotten more because he does this
all the time. But here he goes laughing in the middle of a
sentence is tell you no. And I got two of them. I want you to
tell me what you think he's laughing at here. This is
Gates's TED Talk laugh
is like a horrific Global Fire. The COVID pandemic has killed
millions and up ended economies and we want to stop that As from
happening again.
So let me think why he would be laughing there. So
is like a horrific Global Fire. The COVID pandemic has killed
millions and up ended economies. And we want to stop that from
happening again.
Well, to me, it's
a subtle one. Yeah, it's very sorry.
We want to stop that. So maybe he doesn't want to stop. He
doesn't actually want to stop it. Or he's still laughing about
the millions of people dying. Either way, it's inappropriate
and creepy.
Here's part is the second one he does.
COVID-19 can be the last pandemic, if we take the right
steps. So how what, what are the steps?
It's gotta be a, like an arrogance type thing. Like, I
know, we're gonna do take these.
Well, maybe well, his steps, by the way, I'll tell you. He says
hi. We're going to take take the steps. The steps are global
government.
Yes. Ihr. Yeah. There was another laugh tell this came in.
It was about COVID. And this came from President Obama.
And yet, despite the fact that we've now essentially clinically
tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide,
to everyone caught this. He said, we have now essentially
clinically tested the vaccine on billions of people worldwide.
Now, this was not supposed to be a global test by rolling it out.
We're not guinea pigs. We were told that consistently. That no,
this is safe. It's effective. In 75 years, you can see the trial
data I'm laughing now, in 75 years, you can see the trial
data fun from Pfizer, but President Obama laughs at
effectively, we tested it on you stoops And yet,
despite the fact that we know, essentially, clinically tested
vaccine, billions of people around one in five Americans is
still willing to put themselves at risk and put their families
at risk. People are dying, because of misinformation.
misinformation. It's not just vaccines, misinformation. So
he's laughing about it. It's just a laugh fest. Do you think
that they all sit together like kind of those dogs at the poker
table in the painted famous painting just laughing at us?
Well, they're laughing at us when they give these speeches
and laugh right in the middle of it as odd. But it's like I what
gets me is? Do you think they should take some improv or maybe
some acting classes so they can keep themselves from doing this?
How hard is it? I don't notice that you do it.
I just did a minute ago. I do. I just did it a minute ago,
because I was really laughing about it.
Yeah, but you're not you're not. You're not using it as a towel.
It's not a towel. Right? You know? Yes, we're gonna do the no
agenda shown. Next week, you know, I mean, I don't know. I
don't even know the mechanism for that, but they just can't
not do it.
Well, then maybe if you take these two together, both Bill
Gates and President Obama both know what's coming. And Bill
Gates is telling us there's another pandemic coming. Pres.
Obama is laughing about how we tested this on y'all. You know,
who's not laughing? Fauci is not laughing.
Political elements in society have determined that now they're
going to villainize me. So they're going to take the person
who was very much admired for reasons of caring for the public
health.
Wow, yeah. Just so you know, I'm very admired.
So they're gonna take the person who was very much admired for
reasons of caring for the public health, and making it a symbol
of everything that's wrong with the world is me, I'm things like
that I'm taking I'm destroying democracy. I'm taking away
people's freedom,
man, that's really over the top to speak of yourself and the
third person about how great you are.
Well, then he calls himself in it. But that's he called himself
in it. Again,
political elements in society have determined that now they're
going to villainize me. So they're going to take the person
who was very much admired for reasons of caring for the public
health, and making it a symbol of everything that's wrong with
the world is me. I'm not making me make. I'm destroying
democracy on taking away people's freedom.
Well, it is. Yeah.
It wasn't just the misuse but it we're talking about you're
talking about screwball. Olson Well, in the actual last
second, I just wanted to add, just just let's just finish up
COVID real quick this just few things since we haven't done any
of that, you might
as well I got nothing. I got a few things.
So Shanghai is the majority of the Shanghai residents are still
in lockdown. They are now raising fences with, with
shields in front of a lot of these apartment buildings and
homes, though they're, they're, in essence, kind of what
happened in Wuhan. And I don't think they're welding doors shut
just yet. And people are kind of freaking out, because now it's
been what it's been 50 days, I believe. And, and people are in
pretty dire straits. It appears, though, that President G is
taking either taking advantage of this. Or maybe, maybe this is
what it's all about. He seems to be purging local officials,
local politicians in Shanghai, the vice mayor has been rousted
deputy mayor has been rousted. Who else. A couple of different
people. It's just these according to Nikkei I Asia,
which is the financial news. These are all opponents or
detractors in some way to G. And he seems to be getting rid
of claim that they're corrupted. And China is a country and
perhaps a culture that is prone to corruption. You're right at
petty corruption says it
right here up she says right here. Since taking office, the
62 year old Chinese leader has embarked on an aggressive anti
corruption campaign vowing to crack down on both tigers and
flies, powerful leaders and low level officials. Many of you the
drivers a move to consolidate power to back to the mandate of
heaven. Man, you got to think that this that he's worried he's
really, really worried.
Well, when he first took office, he made some claims about
corruption. And he's going to wipe it out. Because he thinks
it was a plague on China. Right? I forgotten about that. You're
right. And then during that era that did a lot of the entrenched
corrupted boke. The billionaire classes, some of the others and
some of these more public faces of billionaires. Yeah, there's a
couple of made disappear for a while Jack Ma being one of them.
Kind of turned on him. And he started plotting against him.
And there was all this discussion about well, there's a
second group of Chinese that might take over. And they you
know, talked about different guys that were out of power that
might want to they're gonna get rid of this G and put them in
and nothing's come of it. But it's I guess it's still an issue
with him.
It may be personally or maybe he just sees the writing on the
wall. But
I mean, voice coming up for his third term, which would be
unprecedented in the modern era. Yes. And that'll tell the tale.
We'll see what happens. Okay.
That Yes. And what else do I have on COVID? Oh, yeah.
Actually, I have something very important. I almost forgot. I'm
getting feedback. Everything's a mess today, John. I'm sorry. I
don't know what what's going on. Here is.
Yeah, this is it. This was the CDC issuing an alert.
The CDC is asking physicians across the country to be on the
lookout for unusual cases of severe hepatitis and children,
nine cases so far in Alabama to others. In North Carolina.
dozens of cases have also been identified in Europe. Several of
the children became so sick, they needed a liver transplant.
But so far, all the usual hepatitis viruses have been
ruled
out. Okay, I'm gonna play a second report here. It's a
little bit longer, but that is the United States nine cases and
I want to ask you specifically about what different kinds of
hepatitis there are, but this is happening worldwide. Here's the
United Kingdom
health authorities in the UK and across the world are
investigating a spike in sudden onset hepatitis amongst
children. The number of young children in the UK affected
since January this year is 108 77% of those have tested
positive for adenovirus. There's a wide range of symptoms, but
they are usually mild. eight children have already received a
liver transplant, and more cases have also been confirmed in
Ireland, Spain, Denmark, the Netherlands and the US. health
correspondent Ashish Joshi has been speaking to the father of
one three year old girl affected, who donated part of
her His liver to help her recover. A warning. His report
contains photos of post surgery scars warning,
Lola Rose had hours to live. Her liver was failing. She was put
into an induced coma.
I didn't want to walk through those doors. I didn't want to
see a lot that I did because she's my little girl. And I
wasn't gonna let her do that alone. Whether she knew I was
there or not. I was gonna be there. But seeing it for the
first time was just horrendous.
Lola needed a donor. Alan was told he was a match. And after
lying side by side in surgery for more than seven hours, half
of his liver was transplanted into his daughter. Lola's sudden
onset hepatitis was triggered by an a dino virus infection. But
it's a common infection that usually causes flu like
symptoms, not acute liver failure. We still have to report
new cases. Dr. Tasos Grammatik. Copalis is one of the country's
leading pediatric liver specialists. And here at King's
College Hospital, where Lola is being treated. They're seeing a
rise in cases, they see most recent lockdown and the pandemic
has probably played a part in this because children have not
been exposed to common pathogens to common infections like they
would to heart we all been out and about.
Okay, so there's a couple of things that are going on here.
Now, first of all, before COVID hit, we were hearing a lot about
hepatitis. In fact, California here is just a quick throwback
clip today,
the city of San Diego started power washing parts of downtown
and an effort to fight against the hepatitis A outbreak.
So hepatitis A, I've heard a dino Adreno a dino virus.
There's multiple kinds of hepatitis. If you contract
hepatitis, depending on what age do you go into liver failure
quickly? I mean, this this hepatitis is not good. The
people in San Diego and also Los Angeles now there's rats running
everywhere before everywhere before the pandemic they were
getting
hepatitis is played with homeless. Yes.
So tell me about hepatitis. What do you know about
this thing I can just read, but that's fine. Yeah, that's fine,
which is okay, there's five kinds. There's a, b, c, d, and
e. And then in the United States is a, b, and c. And I'll just
read right from this thing directly. By
the way, they all they kept. They didn't mention any A, B or
C, that just bothers me. Bothers me too. Got to
be one of them. Yeah. Alcoholic hepatitis is caused by heavy
alcohol use toxic hepatitis can be caused by certain poisons,
chemicals, medicines, or supplements. Okay. And these are
viruses is caused by one of several viruses, hepatitis
viruses, viruses are hepatitis virus a virus B, virus C, Virus
D. I don't know how that that hooks up with the poisons and
chemicals and medicines, to be honest about it. But I don't
know. Is there a coincidence with all these shots are
starting to give kids you think I mean, that's what what what
they did is we'd like, yes, well, would they've tied it to
COVID by saying, Well, this is happening because kids were
locked in doors and they weren't exposed to viruses, therefore,
they were ready, willing and able to receive hepatitis
doesn't sound really valid to me. Now that doesn't sound like
it. So then there would be there would be a viral hepatitis
outbreak that would affect possibly everybody, and they
would be warning that hey, you need to get your hepatitis shot
or, you know, you have to do certain things, but just to say,
oh, shit, these kids got hepatitis, they got liver
transplants. Oh, must be because of the lockdown. That seems like
a real shortcut.
I don't know. I mean, it seems to me that somebody should do
some reporting on this and tell us what the hell's going on
instead of just, you know, they just kind of glossing it over as
what they're doing now. Yeah, no.
And yes, of course, what you and what you imagined
by the way, the a dino virus? Isn't that the one that the
methodology is using the Johnson and Johnson shot?
No, are you kidding me?
I'm pretty sure it wasn't a dino virus variant. They use these
attacks up mon to it. And you know, it's not for kids. I don't
think kids got that shot. But
yes, Johnson Johnson, do you know virus? Vaccine explained.
You're so right. The Johnson Johnson Dino virus vaccine
explained that the COVID 19 vaccine allocation is you right?
Yes, they're just like, not their technology to
that. take a genius to figure that out.
Well, there you go. Dr. Dvorak. You've been promoted to genius.
level
by CES, like I said, Doesn't take a genius, so I'm not gonna
take
that. That is a great catch. I forgot all about that.
It's almost as besides the papers that have been revealed
and the kind of deaths you get from the vaccine, it's now
certain parts of the world's saying, well, most of the people
that have died have all been vaccinated. I mean, this is just
it. The suppression of the information is out of control.
Yeah, especially when it comes to your health. And they've just
doubled down they just double down.
Yeah, then they doubled down by wanting to go Oh, God, let's
let's censor podcast because heaven forbid, talk about this
stuff. That's all connected. Yeah,
that would be wrong. Ah. Wow. Yeah, this makes you kind of
sad. Okay, well, yay. Way to go, everybody. That's all I've got
on COVID. There's your update. Be careful. Be careful what you
do. Oh, yes. Here's one puzzling phenomenon. Oh, this is crazy.
Patients who took the antiviral Paxil COVID. This is the Pfizer
pill, the replacement for everything I've selected. I've
remained right. puzzling. Patients report a rebound of
COVID-19 systems after taking the antiviral Paxil COVID. So
you get COVID. You've already had the vaccines, supposedly,
presumably, then you get the packs livid. And the symptoms go
away. In the reports, this is the Boston Globe is that people
are having COVID Come back and come back again, to the Paxil
did is not working.
No, it is working.
It's working as intended. We laugh but it's so sick. It's
sick. Alright. And that's your COVID update. Stay away from
COVID people, it's not good for your health.
Seems like I want to get a these clips out of the way about title
42. And all that. You wouldn't notice it because you would when
you're in Texas, but you're definitely you're going to
notice that in Holland. This is the title that Trump put in
place to make it so it's easy to just someone steps across the
border being shipped back to Nicaragua, Nicaragua or wherever
they are.
So I'm not quite sure. So the way it works is, if you I think
if you don't if you don't have a clean bill of health or is it
specifically for complete vac, you know, if you if you want to
get your green card in United States, you have to show you've
had your vaccinations, and I'm talking chickenpox, measles, MMR
and everything, you got to have everything. You have to disclose
if you have AIDS, all of this stuff. And so they probably
added that and I think that's what they were using. I don't
know why you need to title 42 Because it was kind of already
maybe that is what they're talking about title 42 They're
gonna
pull it was specific. No, it's got to be something else because
has to be trumped specifically put it in and now they're going
to pull it back and they know there's going to be a huge run
on the border.
Right? Because it's not It's another tool they cannot use to
turn people back.
Yeah, they decided not to use it. So here we go. Let's listen
to these clips from NPR. This is titled for to NPR.
Some of President Biden's political allies are worried the
White House doesn't have much of a plan for an expected influx of
migrants at the southern border next month. That's when the
administration is set to lift title 40 to the Trump era
pandemic order that's been used to expel people crossing the US
Mexico border. Members of Congress are worried that could
lead to a chaotic situation. And Democrats are worried there
could be political costs and prs. Deepa Shivram is here to
explain all this Hi, Deepa. Hey there.
Hey there. How you doing? Hey, there, you got it. What
happened? Hi. Okay,
all right. So let's hear the explanations part two of this
clip.
So Republicans have been staunchly opposed to lifting
title 42. What about Democrats?
So in the past few days, we've seen two more Democrats
expressed some apprehension about lifting title 42 next
month. That's Gary Peters and Michigan senator who's chair of
the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and Chris
Coons of Delaware senator who's a close Biden ally. And they
joined several other Democrats in Congress and even some
congressional candidates running for office this year, who say
that they want more of a plan. They want the Biden
administration to reconsider or release more details on how to
handle the expected influx of migrants once title 42 expires.
And there's even some Democrats who have joined forces with
Republicans in the last few weeks to write up a bill that
would delay lifting title 42 by at least 60 more days,
essentially trying to buy some time. I'm here. And one of the
Democrats who joined onto that bill is Mark Kelly, a senator
from Arizona, who's up for reelection this year. So the
thing to keep in mind and the background of all of this is the
concerns that Democrats have about the midterm elections.
Yeah, it's all there. It's all political.
I've got this sub clip called Title 42. Real name, which is
one second, I'd like you to play that.
Sec. And PRs Deepa Shivram, thanks. Oh, yes,
this woman. Yeah, I had a joke with it or their name because it
sounds like she's they're saying something else. And they then
they pronounce your name differently at the end to add?
Okay, we can just skip that part. You could play the rest of
this that pretty?
Yeah, I'll play title 42. Number three,
the White House keeps pointing to a plan that the Department of
Homeland Security released at the beginning of the month, but
they're not adding anything more beyond that. And that plan from
DHS says that the department is increasing their capacity to
process new arrivals at the border, and they're beefing up
law enforcement presence as well. Here's what White House
press secretary Jen Psaki said this afternoon, we've
proposed a plan. So that's a plan that is being implemented
in terms of any ideas to address immigration, including any delay
of title 42. That would require congressional action.
And what they're also saying and being really adamant about is
that title 42 isn't technically an immigration policy. It's a
public health directive. The administration says they're just
following guidance set by the CDC.
Okay, so the clock is ticking, right. There's about a month
left until title 42 is set to be lifted. So which what should we
be watching for?
Yeah, so in the next couple of weeks, I think the thing to keep
an eye out for is that DHS has said that they're continuing to
expand the resources on the border. And then when it comes
to a legislative fix as an option, Congress could act if
they want to, but in the meantime, you can expect members
of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats to be asking more
questions. The DHS plan has been out for weeks now, but it's
clearly not enough for them. And in the next week, you can see
DHS Secretary Mayorkas is testifying in front of the House
Judiciary Committee, which is known for its pretty heated
partisan confrontations. And the top Republican on that committee
is Jim Jordan of Ohio. He's already asking Mayorkas to come
prepared for answers on the administration's plans once
title 42 expires.
Yeah, yes, well,
it stands on its own. I got nothing to say.
Yeah, I'll just follow that up with more illegal migrant
immigrants. Without papers coming in means more stuff comes
in our favorite substance. The White House
is pushing back against a new report that claims President
Biden may delay lifting title 42. That's a rule that allows
border officials to turn back migrants because of the
pandemic. The rule is set to expire next month. Meanwhile, 26
Republican governors are creating a so called border Task
Force. They're worried about a wave of new migrants and say the
task force will focus on drugs and human trafficking,
to share information to bring law enforcement at assets to US
intelligence and our fusions
is from us. You stumbled on informations we
managed to share information to bring
information information, information man
to share information to bring law enforcement add assets to US
intelligence and our fusion centers so that we can stop this
flow of dangerous drugs like fentanyl, which is the number
one cause of death here in southern Arizona among young
people. That's just not how it's supposed to be.
Fingers show the number of drug arrests at the southern southern
border is down 33% Oh,
hello, hello. Hello. ABC is going to follow this up and
they're going to do a real big Fentanyl crisis special.
America is being poisoned with fentanyl. And we don't even know
I
just heard my wife screaming. She told me they had just died
50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. You breathing Come on.
It's poison. It's pure poison. It's a few grains of salt worth
of fentanyl will kill you
just my agency has seized enough to kill the entire country. ABC
News Live presents poisoned America's Fentanyl crisis. The
powerful CDC streaming free ABC News Live
Well at least they're making us aware of the situation. Yes, we
noticed these things in Texas for sure we noticed them because
this is where a lot of it's happening.
I understand this people I know in Texas who got rear ended by
an documented people and they don't have insurance or driving
around. It's unbelievable. What's happened to me. I think
that's the person I know.
Yeah, that's one person. Yeah. Yeah. There's a lot of that
there's a lot of no insurance in Texas. Tina got someone backed
up into her unclear of the woman's status, but she did have
a driver's license. It was expired three years. And which,
by the way, doesn't matter to the insurance company. They
don't care. It happened in a parking lot. So there was no
police report. Yeah. Doesn't have to be. No, it doesn't have
to be but I heard the call when he said, Well, look, you know,
we can't prove that she did it. This is their insurance company.
can't prove that she did it. And I think it's her mom has the
insurance. So you know, it's like, yeah, but is she? No, no
police report. There's no proof. So you know, we have we have a
witness. We're trying to find the whole thing is a mess. It's
no good. Take photos. Sure. All right. Well, I'm not happy news.
I'm gonna show my mood by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun.
We do have a few people to thank for show 1445 Starting with Sir
Alexander of middle Cascadia $101.02. He says I want to note

Sometimes you want to go hang out with a nice day. You won't
be triggered you and everybody feels the same is like
yeah, it was alright, how about some ISOs
I actually did a lot of clips. But no Eyespace I got one
as I see, okay, hold on. Let me pull it up. Whatever everyone is
talking about. That's what we'll be talking about. Yeah, that's
way too long. With music now.
Rejected rejected first of all, yes.
Yes, second. Yeah. I got some heat listen to this. So I have
here. When did you first become aware that there were Gonna be
large. That's not too long. Now it's the wrong clip. It's
mislabeled. I'm sorry. Let's try this one. I've got feedback now.
I'm just tripping out all the tape. Now that's no good. Why is
why is my headphones squealing?
This is not my day. am I shouting?
Exactly. Let's try this wrong. I
mean, why how do they even do that?
It's a little long, too. It's a little long. And then, and this
is should actually be for Bolton
Shut up your head? No, it's no good. Well, then I have nothing.
No, the one before it is usable, even though it's a little long.
This one? I mean, why? How did they even do that? Why don't I
just shorten it? Why don't I just take how? Yeah, just do
that part. Hold on. I'll do that. I'll take it to this. And
let's just check it. How did they even do that? I think
that's perfect. Okay, that's good. Hey, this is a clip I've
been wanting to play throughout the whole show as a part of the
great reset. Actually, there's two things. There's one thing I
got to talk about one clip I got to play. Because we have not had
the chance to talk about the food processing plants that seem
to be either burning down because of plane crashes or some
spontaneous combustion is
highlighted in the news, it was with a bunch of headlines,
including two plane crashes, not one but two into two different
food processing plants. How does that one does that work?
Well, you know, I did now I'm real big on the on the
processors. Now the beef processors, we only have three,
I think four big ones that do everything. When it comes to
these processing plants. I think there's 30,000 of these
processing plants in the US some are much larger than others. So
we do know that one of them delivers a lot of goods for
Walmart. You know that it's, I'm just not sure how much it will
impact the food supply. But what I do know is that the FBI is
kind of insinuating that some of these may have been started by
of course, Russian cyber attacks, where they may actually
be messing with some of the systems through the what is
that? What is the darn new toolkit, the Swiss Army knife
that that we that we talked about
her? Okay. Well, the the FBI is Yeah, okay. I think okay. Okay,
okay. You got clips because I couldn't get a clip because the
mainstream refuses to discuss it.
No, I have I have no clips. No, I have no clips. But I I do know
that the FBI is warning that oh, let me see.
I'd like to know why this is such so out of the news. I mean,
when you have to to airplane crashes. I find that very
peculiar.
The FBI cyber division published a notice warning about increased
cyber attack threats on agricultural cooperatives.
Ran lie that specific lie
as well. I'm just going to read ransomware actors may be more
likely to attack agricultural cooperatives during critical
planting and harvest seasons, disrupting operations causing
financial loss and negatively impacted the food supply chain.
They warn a significant disruption of grain production
could impact the entire food chain since grain is not only
consumed by humans, but also used by animal for feed, in
addition, a significant disruption of grain and corn
production, but impact commodities and trading stocks.
So yeah, there's some implication that this could have
something to do with with these processors possibly. Pipe Dream
is the name of the the malware that that we've been talking
about.
That's our latest bugaboo. It's that Boogeyman. Well,
well, the pipe dream malware is real. Yeah, I'm sure it's real,
but blame it on everything well,
but again, using Russia, so I don't know. We know what we just
don't know. And the media is focused on dumb shit.
So no, we do. Our show probably knows more than anyone. But we
don't know
but we don't know. For the coming Great reset. What could
trigger this? In the financial world, we often talk of things
like the Black Swan, so COVID it by definition kind of is a black
was a black swan, the lock downs. And we saw what happened
with the financial markets. There was a roundtable the
International Monetary Fund and Christine Lagarde wasn't invited
to join Of course she used to run the International Monetary
Fund And before she became the, the chief of the Federal Reserve
of Europe, the European Central Bank, and she had an interesting
take
president. Oh God, what about you? What should we be paying
more attention to? I think of two things. One is what I would
call the green swan. Talk about black swans. And I agree with
with Jay that we've, we've had one thing after the other
hitting us and D in the main we've tried to respond as as, as
well as we could and often in a very coordinated fashion, thanks
to international institutions like the IMF. But the green swan
is something that terrifies me you know, and I think of what's
happening in South Africa at the moment the hundreds of people
that are dying because of a flood and and you know, what's
going to come next? Could it be mother nature that we are
hurting so much that it retaliates against us so that's
one thing that is that is often on my mind. I think the next one
is the madness of men. More than women actually. Ah not an empty
the madness of man.
Okay, let's start. Let's start with the beginning of this
thing. The Black Swan is a phenomenon and it became a part
of a book that was describing as well you didn't think something
existed then it existed and it turned out to exist Black Swan
exists is real. There's no such thing as a green Swan anywhere.
This it dropped in die, you know, somebody put ink cartridge
from a inkjet printer into a lake and then a swan went in
there. Yeah, screen. This is nuts. You this woman should be
banned from the show. No,
no way. No, no, no, no, no, we're gonna hear a lot from Fifi
in the future. I will say that Forbes in 2021, published
sustainable finance, surviving the green swan. We know Yeah,
this is it looked at these people signal stuff all the
time. And all you got to do is just look and see what they're
talking about. We need this is Forbes, we need a financial
system that supports low carbon sustainable investments.
Otherwise, the green Swan could see. It's another way of saying
if we don't all jump in and get all in on climate change, the
green swan is going to get us, you know, floods, and other
horrible things. So I'm fully expecting something more
than loved floods in the history of mankind. No, but I'm
fully expecting something horrible to happen. What else?
What else can you say with these people?
Well, first of all I wanted I saw you went away from that
commentary about the virus that Russians are planting
everywhere. Yeah, what? What about because I think it may be
something to do with this story. Okay, rich. The rich. People up
in the space station have been delayed. They can't get home.
Oh, rich space station. Oh,
hold on a second. I didn't know this. Where are we? Here we go.
The first all private crew to visit the International Space
Station is postponing what was to be tonight's return due to
high winds at the splashdown site off of Florida's coast.
NASA says they will undock tomorrow night instead with an
expected arrival on Earth Monday. Ongoing weather delays
have extended what was supposed to be an A in space to more than
two weeks.
Oh, they know they did that wrong. They should have said
weather delays and crew as staffing issues. They should
have just done it like like an airline report. Yes, we have
weather delays. We have staffing issues and of course a COVID
Just throw some
talks about this story at all these these rich guys up in this
space station. They're really the system seems to be very
embarrassed by this. Who is up there? Bunch of nicks that
you've never heard of. Okay, well, how do we know the rich?
They paid 55 million to get there. They must be rich.
Okay, well, you know what they should be doing? What happened
to our money? They should be donating to the show. We'll get
them down. All right. Time to get out of here. Time to go back
to Texas. Although we are going to Brooklyn for a few days by to
visit my stepdaughter. She lives there. You know and Brooklyn is
ground zero of wokeness so I shall have a report. Yeah, I bet
you will. And I will. And another travel report. Of
course.
Yeah, wear a mask.
Coming up next live they've been waiting very patiently the
Battle of the douchebags. douchebags part three. It will
be sir bemrose Carolyn Blaney, John brakes bad news lavish and
Sir seat sitter sound. Now that is the definition of a
Hootenanny right there and of show mixes, Picasso and a
Rolando Gonzalez, and thank you very much for bearing with us.
Today or even by Count Baron by Count, it's all good. Coming to
you from the place where IBM calls his HQ home Armonk, New
York in the morning, everybody I'm Adam curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley, and Jhansi DeVore
we returned on Thursday with another deconstruction for you
here on no agenda until then. Adios mofos
such Yeah,
but he is the coolest dude in a room. I mean, the man wears
bracelets that I've never seen.
Yeah, well premiere Adams. We know it's day three on the job
and he's sending a message that style is as important as
substance at least for now. Government Affairs reporter
Melissa Russo has been alphabet with Adams is he showing off
what he calls his swagger. He joins us in the newsroom with
more aimless.
Hey Natalie. Eric Adams is not only trying to project strength
in his first week on the job, he's talking about the fact that
he's trying to project strength, as the new mayor works to help
voters form a strong first impression.
When a mayor has swagger
when describing his governing style Mayor Eric Adams do they
use the word swagger about a
dozen times? This is a city of swagger. And without
mentioning his predecessors by name, he said Bill de Blasio
didn't have it.
The leadership should have that swagger has been missing in the
city. All we did was wallowing.
But he's got a swagger swaying lookers,
he's an ex cop. That's what they do. So it's all talk right now.
Police, he's not the Blasio. So that's all I'm happy about with
swagger has like a confidence to it. That's a good way to start.
In recent
days. Adams has shown he's big on bravado quick to dismiss
those who disagree with him, including the incoming City
Council
of going to ignore them and they like it or not. On the mega
takes every opportunity to show who's in charge this morning. He
had this moment with the media.
Border, not discipline.
Clearly, some of what resonated with voters in these tough times
was Adams, his confidence, optimism, maybe even swagger,
you know,
if I were him, I wouldn't say that word I would show the
swagger more.
We need a swagger. We need a Councilwoman with swagger we
need an assembly when there was swagger
is a very fine line between strength and arrogance. But so
far, he's he's walking with the right leg. At the end of the
day, though, it's going to come down to results.
It doesn't matter what he's setting. He does, but we're
going to do this.
And usually the honeymoon period for mayors doesn't really last
very long. Adam says that New Yorkers can expect clear
messaging from him. For instance, today emphasizing he
has zero intention of shutting schools because of the latest
COVID.
Ukraine has been at the center of many of the biggest and most
damaging lungs, you have the Open Society Foundation and all
the related organizations they call them NGOs and charities,
right. But there's nothing charitable about these people.
They're extremely radical, they have a very nefarious agenda,
they launder money through the fiber ones receive status,
sharing it all with each other. And even worse than that, they
figured out a way to rob us blind, our tax dollars to USAA.
And they distribute that in places like Ukraine and all over
the world. Not only are they stealing from us and funding
their agenda with our tax dollars laundering money through
the NGOs and the oligarchs, what you're also doing is running
policy through the US Embassy, I can just tell you that that's
what you call the theater of the absolute ridiculous. What I
don't want is I don't want to be blindly into a war that comes
right to our beliefs to our values. We're not focused on the
things that we should be focused on those people who want to read
the New York Times and read the Washington Post and believe the
nonsense I don't have time for that anymore. It's okay for the
United States to arm funding support to help equip Nazis in
the Ukraine, but it's not okay to vote for Donald Trump.
vorak.org/n How do they even do that?
