They deserve to lose.
Adam curry, John C Devora. Day December 18 2022. This is your
award winning keep our nation media assassination episode
1500 13.
This is no agenda.
We got missing mania and broadcasting live from the heart
of the Texas hill country here in FEMA Region number six in the
morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
Danna from Northern Silicon Valley. We're all congratulating
Argentina and I have questions. I'm Josie to kill
you came to the right guy if you have questions
about soccer expert have no agenda about football, football.
The football? Yes, just since when did the French team become
all black? Except for the one guy the gold?
I I think they've been pretty black for a while.
I watch all these games, these club games. There's never a
black guy. But now the whole national team is all black.
No, no, you're wrong. The French have lots of black guys on their
team always have. I mean, the French actually can't play any
and you need to have your African if you're African,
French. They're the ones where you can pledge friendship for
God. For the for Africans. They're the ones that know how
to play, but I think I think that's pretty much been that
way. As far as I can remember.
Okay, that's question number. Okay.
You got a question number one.
I got three questions. Okay. Question number two. Yeah. So
this guy Messi. That's on Argentina. Yeah. They say this
is his first World Cup. That he's won. Yes. And he's been
playing for 17 years. And this is the first time he's won the
World Cup. And yet is the greatest player in the world.
No, actually, he doesn't get the golden ball trophy. He gets the
he missed out because Bombay Bombay did better than he did.
So he's not necessarily the best in the world.
Well, that's what they said on the on the broadcast. Yeah.
Well, what
was that NPR?
Thirdly why don't they just cut the game short and just do
shootouts?
Come on, it was this was a good match.
What's the point of a game it goes on for hours? And then it
still have to sit there and do shoot outs? Why don't you just
do the shoot outs to begin with and give it up? Give the rest of
it up to half the games in this World Cup tournament? Where
shoot outs at the end?
That's how it goes when you have equal strength and it just comes
down to why don't you make that decision early on to just to
shoot out so this is why no one loves you in Argentina or France
or anywhere in Europe or even even in Qatar because I asked
the obvious no because you're you're you're mocking You're
mocking the sport that is bigger than any other sport in the
world. Certainly your sumo Okay, there There you go. that'll
that'll do it. Thank you. I had personally I thought France
would win. It's interesting to see Argentina wins. How does
this play on a political global scale? Any any thoughts?
No, I was thinking about why would the I think it's just up
to to cement the idea of white supremacy.
Oh, how about that? Well, that works. Because pretty much all
the Argentinian guys are are white.
Yes, I think it was just uh, Oh, interesting.
White supremacy and and overnight, they flew in Elon
Musk and Jared, together, hanging out in new Jared Kushner
are those the guy from Subway sandwiches?
No, Elon and Jared were at the World Cup together. We tracked
his jet on Mastodon Did you can't track Elon jet on Twitter
anymore? We track it on Mastodon
So Elon has got nothing better to do than fly. I'd say that
first of all this is make this clear. Flying to Qatar is a pain
in the ass. Well, if
you have your own Gulfstream six it gets a little
you know, it's still a pain. I'm talking about the time involved.
Yes. Oh, yeah. And you went last night. Via London's got
nothing better to do it despite the fact that is on the game was
on in 4k. Yeah. On Fox. So you can watch it in high res and
high def super high def. And but I'd rather go I'm gonna go
there. I'm gonna fly. Dammit. Oh my time. Yeah.
What you must be confused with this illusion that Elon Musk is
running anything. This is your confusion. And he's not I gotta
tell you right now. I am convinced he doesn't do his own
Twitter. That is it's too good. It's too sophisticated. I'm I'm
he at best he has someone helping him. It's just not
possible to be that good with your tools
writers. He must have money he must have writers probably got
writers for everything movie we've heard him speak I've got
that one clip
really speak anyway, we we lost a lot of good people in the past
couple of hours, people just falling down dead. I don't know
if you heard it was really quite, quite horrific.
Take a look at this big number right here. 1.5 billion that's
with a B billion people worldwide are expected to watch
the World Cup final on
Sunday, hard to believe but it is the most popular sport in the
world. That means a lot of anxious fans everywhere. There's
a lot of research out there that shows that rooting for your
favorite team can cause a lot of stress. Yeah, not just
emotionally but also can cause some physical
things. I mean, quite literally. And all kidding aside, it can be
a stress test of sorts. So take a look at some of the medical or
physiologic signs, as per the Cleveland Clinic, but we have
documentation of this in the medical literature.
What is well, thanks for the backup details as to
that fight or flight response. Adrenaline is released, that
forces our heart to beat faster, to push more oxygen throughout
our body to our brain to our muscles. What do we do sometimes
when we're watching sporting events, while we can over
indulge maybe eating hot dogs, fatty foods and alcohol, that's
also a strain on our cardiovascular system. Who would
be most at risk in this scenario, people with high blood
pressure high cholesterol a body mass index of over 30 who are
dealing with obesity, let's say we're using the condition of
overweight and someone with diabetes or someone who smokes
all at high risk for this stress test. As we say,
we lost people just guarantees stress test. Horrible. So
I should mention that some years back there was a similar study
that this is really old news to be honest about it. And they
determined that if you route it with if your wife for football
watchers, yeah, real American format, not football, American
football, football, American football. So they said that the
elation that you feel if your team wins is fairly similar to
what the players felt. If your team loses you have the same
negative kind of entered the same form with you have you
suffer as much. And that led me to becoming a fairweather
friend. I have or fairweather fan. Same thing you don't want
to get so I've always route for the top teams. It's good for
your health. Yeah, exactly. Now, I have watched and just to say
just a little insight to my personality. If I'm not really
invested in any team, and I'm okay, I'm rooting for one team
or another let's say the Green Bay's playing against the Kansas
City Chiefs and one teams kicking the other ones as I'm
rooting for the team that's doing that and the other team
starts making a comeback. It looks like they're gonna win
your sides in the middle of the game. They deserve to lose.
It's much better for you. And you know what, ladies and
gentlemen, he is only 88 years old. So you don't want to take
his advice. He's doing good so far. And I think it's pretty
great
had been condemned by my friends for being this way. You've
told me this and I've always thought it was quite fabulous.
You have to have no problem switching sides. Now then. I was
happy to see that FIFA the International Football
Association. The Federation told Zelensky No, you cannot share
your message of peace at the World Cup final. That's the
first nerve. You know, I gotta play this for you. You know,
goodness, this is so horrible. So I've always been a David
Letterman fan you know back in the 80s late 80s 90s Everyone
MTV we would not watch the tonight show of course not. Now
you watch it a Dave You know Dave was doing cool stuff. And
Dave you could kind of trust the Dave would always be a little
bit against the man. But oh no, no. Dave went to Keith. And went
to that phony baloney subway station the one that's basically
a TV studio all lit No, all beautiful. And he interviews the
Lenski And right on cue we get an error at
the Java via key. Do you see it other Java SE como Yo amo? Is
that a switcheroo? Yes, I can hear the side Aaron what what
should we do? Nothing. In any other circumstance, that
wouldn't be reassuring, but here with you, I feel reassured what
was that? What was the siren indicating?
And then he goes on. Thanks, Dave. what a what a worse.
He sold out to the man. I said, yeah, the man I'm years ago way
it was. It was. I think it was before even before Trump was
elected.
Yeah, he'd already flipped. Gone crazy became a
super. Because Obama maybe or I know he's chummy with Clinton.
But Obama invited him to the White House a couple of times, I
believe.
I think it wasn't Obama, one of his first guests on that new
show that day. Yeah, I think so. But he's always he's always been
the I remember no, he was doing comedians and getting coffee and
cars or whatever with with Seinfeld. He was raging against
Trump. Like who cares what you think about that? Joke make a
joke, man. Don't don't. Anyway, I did check in with you
yesterday to make sure you were okay after the 3.6 magnitude
earthquake pretty much under your butt.
Pretty close. It was walking distance definitely to the
epicenter.
Now, did you go to the epicenter? Is there a whole
there is
no there's nothing else or Ito Plaza for all I can
tell. Now. 3.6 is not massive. But
that club when you're on top of it, you can feel it. Alright, so
what so what happened? What time they just lay here
there was not much I managed to giant rock. And so the rock is
like a big ship. And so the rock loses one. And so it makes a
really lessens the effect but it was noticeable. Woke it was 330
in the morning, woke me up from a dead sleep. And I you know,
woke me up just as it started. So I got to feel the whole thing
when I for a couple seconds. It wasn't that much. But it was
rumble I was in the place was shaken. And I did I wait, it
stopped. And then I said was if there's gonna be another thing?
Nope. Remember, I packed a bit.
Now, is this because of fracking in the area?
No, what is a million faults around here? This whole area is
riddled with them. So
now you're on the fault line. Now,
I don't know what that was. This is probably an offshoot from the
Hayward Fault. I'm not sure what
I'm a little worried about this rock you're sitting on? Can this
rock move? Can it roll
a little bit further? Well, it's embedded into the earth deep
underground. Okay. If you want to good, it's bad. Right?
Because most of the San Francisco is this way is San
Francisco is actually when it has a quake the only the
flatlands in the areas that have been made with the bill that or
do you know
where they need the power? I was reading the New York Times. I
know, outside that I was but I was reading the I know, there
was this article about San Francisco downtown San
Francisco, how it's completely destroyed. Now that, you know
tech companies are firing everybody closing their doors
going out of business. I'm sure it was slanted being the New
York Times. But pretty much downtown is just gone. There's
no activity. There's nothing going on anymore except for
homelessness and drug users and and bullcrap. And that's that's
human crap. Human. Yes. I'm sorry, human crap. That's where
they need to have the epicenter. Yeah, let's let's rebuild that
thing. Yeah, I think I think it's time. If I was in general
planning, I'd say boys focus it over there.
Well, I don't know what they get. San Francisco has his
moments. Nowadays. It's just poorly managed.
Look, I was in San Francisco in 2006 789. was horrible then.
It's been poorly managed since before Governor Newsom ever
since the Democrats took it over permanently. It's like a
permanent job for Democrats. They have mismanaged it just
what they do. They don't know how to do anything. said get
elected and and get good dinners
and know how to do that. Get good dinners. They have taste.
Anyway, we'll have our own moment here of destruction. It's
coming. I think Thursday. Where the arctic blast is coming back
to Texas remember the one that booty Arctic Blau Yeah, the one
that froze us to death
two years ago hitting again? Yeah, yeah. arctic blast
to freeze Texas next week. We'll bring fresh test to the power
grid. Yeah. humming
the same playbook.
And they're predicting 15 degrees. Which for Texans is
cold.
That's cold for anyone that's cold for
us. Yeah, I think the cold blast is slated for just around Korea.
dismiss. And it could be one of the most extreme cold air masses
to pour into the southern part of the country in years, which
would be exactly two years. Now this is a computer model. So
that means nothing. But But that means nothing. But if it's going
to happen by December 23, we shouldn't see freezing
temperatures during the day is way it's already cold. It's
already down to 30 at night here. Yikes. That's not too bad.
It's not too bad. No, it's not too bad. Let's, let's just talk
about Elon and Twitter for a minute. Because this is this is
so fun to watch what's happening. Whereas I would say
for decades and decades, the brunt of all jokes in America
was certainly when it came to a class of professionals would
have to be lawyers. What do you call 10? Lawyers at the bottom
of the pool a good start? I think we can agree that
journalists are have now become more hated than lawyers. It's
getting there. It's really a thing. It's fantastic.
But if you want to talk about Twitter, I should mention that
right as we speak, the Twitter auctions going on
now. But they have nothing good. I looked at it, they got some
chairs, and
you gotta look at it with with the no agenda perspective. Why
does an office in San Francisco have a 230 $1,000 Cappuccino
machines? Plus another three or four single shot? Five to $6,000
Cappuccino machines? And why does every office chair there is
like 1000 $1,200 chair, they're selling them for 50. So why do
they need all these screens? There's like these workstations,
giant screens, a whiteboard, electronic whiteboard things
which cost $20,000. They have 10 of them. There's it's
unbelievable what a just a flagrant abuse of funds, which
went into that they just bit more venture capital money. We
need more $1,000 chairs
now, though, that's the reason why is it the time at Twitter to
get the best the best and the best employees had to compete
with Google and Apple. And so you have to have your perks.
That's how sick Silicon Valley is.
And to make it worse, you know, because if you don't Silicon
Valley, all these places have their own kitchens and they have
their own cafeterias and they have free food for all the
employees, the kitchen equipment that they had, at the at the
headquarters over in San Francisco, you never need to
leave this place in your lifetime. They had like, like
most restaurants don't have the gear that these guys have. Well,
did you put it in a bid on anything?
No, no, because smart money is going to pick up the stuff at at
half the price. I can't afford it at a 25% of its value. I
can't afford it. That's how expensive this What would
you like to have if you could choose one item on the list?
I think the 36 inch stove would be nice.
Gotcha. The 36 inch stove
I have a 36 inch stove with six burners that I could use that
that's also a couple of chairs. Maybe, but it's not that it's
not that
maybe we can hook something up for you. A couple of chairs.
Okay
well, you got to you got to oxygen go on as we're doing the
show.
I'm looking at it. Yeah, of course. Why nice saw it. You
know, so everyone's talking about the cappuccino machines
come on this bullshit. It's bull crap has been going on for a
while. I'm not gonna argue that point is an absolute fact what
you say and it actually kind of is squandering money on behalf
of these companies using venture capital funds and hoping to make
it on the back end with a public offering. And they didn't make
it on the back end was $44 billion from from from Elon. So
it all paid out and then Elon gets to sell off this stuff.
Sure. Not input into you know, the crates and shit. He likes to
work with
crates, beanbags. beanbags.
I have I have some Twitter BS clips from PBS. Okay, good. So,
Twitter B SPBs.
Twitter is facing intense criticism after a series of
moves by billionaire and owner Elon Musk. United Nations spoke
out against the company today, calling its new suspensions of
some news reporters Twitter's at Twitter accounts, disturbing and
setting a quote, dangerous precedent. Then Avas has more.
That's right, Judy. Twitter suspended the accounts of at
least eight journalists yesterday from the Washington
Post CNN, The New York Times and others with limited explanation.
Each of those accounts had recently posted about Elon Musk
or his policy changes on content mod ration. Some posted links to
an account Twitter banned this week that tracked Musk's private
jets through public data. The self described free speech
absolutist is now facing backlash. Oh,
this is the best part is that journalists are like, oh my oh
my. This is the end of civilization. He is banning
journalists. Oh,
they can't believe this have been banned in the past. They
were banned all the time on the old Twitter's Yeah, but
not not not the New York Times and Washington Post. And not
Taylor Lorenz. Oh, no.
Taylor Lorenz, just before going to this clip, too. She has a
substack and she bitched in my wife. But you know, you know
what, she only was off for like, two hours they put her back on.
But
the thing was, she would she she does this really, she
chickenshit type thing where she will tweet out. We've we've
gotten some information that we want to discuss with you. We
just want to handle this right? So please contact us. I mean, if
I saw that I'd be like block you get out of here Delete. That's
that's that's what she does. very empathetic, very. It's like
you deserve to be deleted for that. She does that everybody. I
knew I have a deadline and 11 deadline, you got to ask me to
how we're going to print whatever we have.
So I want to read from her column. All right. I've been on
Twitter since 2010. And I've run Twitter accounts. But actually
she says and I have run Twitter account to be clear Oh, sorry
about that ego. You know copy editing doesn't hurt a Twitter
account for major media brands including Verizon WordPress, the
Daily Mail People Magazine, the hill and dozens more. Never once
in my 13 year career in social media, if I received a single
Terms of Service or community guidelines violations, and I'm
thinking wait a minute, is there some conflict of interest
between this journalist and somebody running the accounts
route for Verizon and People Magazine and dozens of more
operations so probably, I would think so. Anyway, so yeah. The
Okay, let's go to clip two.
For more on all of this. I'm joined by tech journalist Kara
Swisher, she is the host of the
really, really really oh you have to do that to
me Ah, Kara Swisher and pivot podcast has been covering Elon
Musk for more than two decades. Kara, welcome, as we just
mentioned, few people have known uncovered Elon Musk as long as
you have. I'm just curious.
Did she also mentioned by any chance I'll play the last seven
seconds that she is a paid advisor for a competing product
that she mentioned that did you mentioned in the intro at all?
This is you're watching my god she didn't
unfold as you saw the suspensions unfold last night?
What are you thinking? What's going on here?
What are you thinking? Are you from? Oh,
I again, I have to sit here for a reason.
This is this is how my this is? My blood pressure goes up when
you play this.
I know you got to root for her. Yeah, so as you notice, this
clip has been stopped. I'm introducing a new a new aspect
to our show. Oh,
we did not have a meeting about this.
Do you want me to continue to playing these clips? Or do you
want to stop them? Knowing that is one of the people that you
hate listen to you know, I'm giving you the opportunity to
stop the clip.
Thank you. Is that is that the new item stop the clip.
Stopped. Yes, it that's what we're gonna call it.
Stop the clip. Great. Okay. Yeah, I don't want those. Let's
go on to something else. Okay. No, I need to hear it.
Well, it's the latest. I mean, it's been going on for since he
bought it. So one one crazy thing after the next and this is
just the latest and things he said he wouldn't do that he's
doing such as creating a moderation Council and then
making decisions on his own or, you know, tweeting
misinformation when he said he wouldn't or release on Twitter
files that are probably incomplete. This is just the
latest and he's just trying to create a sense of crisis and
drama around the company, I guess so people will be talking
about
that part is true. I agree with Kara Swisher on this he's he's
creating the hype around the company to keep people talking
about it. 100 100%
He likes attention. I don't know if you've noticed. I'm like you.
This is the same man who reinstated banned accounts right
arguing about free speech. Is any of this about young speech,
do you think?
No, it's about the whims of the richest man in the world and
what he feels like doing on any given day and I think it's not
much more complicated than that. He's bought it he bought it for
too much money and he'll do you know, he bought and he'll broke
break it if he wants to, and that seems to be what he's
doing. There's no this is not someone who thinks deeply about
big issues like free speech and things like that. It's a lot of
parody. Did nonsense that he then uses as excuses to do what
he's doing. He's just mad at some just a jet guy who, who
published public information. He then took it out on journalists
who wrote about that, that controversy. And that's where we
are. It's really not that complex. It's someone who has a
who has who has who lacks impulse control.
At the same time, we know that there are real world
consequences to what we've seen unfold on Twitter in the last
several weeks, right. We know researchers from the Center for
countering digital hate the anti Defamation League and others
have tracked a dramatic surge in hate speech and anti semitism,
anti black rhetoric on Twitter. How worried are you about those
real world consequences? While all of this plays out?
She said without evidence. What is that? What is that? You know?
If anything, Elon Musk went right to work with, with anti
semitism after Kanye booted Kanye off showed charts and
graphs, which was very convincing. Luke, look at you
hate us down. Okay, so boy, this is so riveting. I'm glad PBS has
time to have Kara Swisher on for this in depth analysis. Can I
still start the clip? Or is it too late? Now? Do I have one
more? There's one more. And and it stopped. You notice where it
stopped on a question? Yes, you can stop the clip. But I want to
mention a couple of things. One, why do you bring somebody on if
she's not going to give analysis but just spew what sounds like
bigoted hate. There's no analysis here. It's just
calling. It's calling someone names. This is not what PBS is
turned into. And I will have clips later when we have
Capehart and Brooks discussing things that there is no analysis
whatsoever is just
bigotry. I'm sorry. What she is doing is she is doing
journalism, not bigotry, journalism. Big, big lism. She's
doing journalism, because she's saying it as it is. This is the
truth. This is what's happening. She's just reporting the facts.
Alright, let's wrap it.
I'm not that worried only because it's not a very big
platform. That's the one of the big problems with Twitter, it's
never been a very good business. And it's never been very big. It
does hold the attention of the media and politicians,
unlike the company post dot news, which I'm advising for
money. Celebrities have
long since abandoned this because of the toxicity of it,
and it doesn't really help them that much. And so I think I
think that's where the problem is, is it can set the tone for
discussions. But in general, if you if I walked outside here in
San Francisco right now, very few people would know what this
guy was up to.
Most people outside in San Francisco are drug addicts,
homeless who have no internet or knows. So yeah, I walked
outside when she started in San Francisco right now, you know
what the hell was going on?
They would probably beat her to a pole pin,
except in broad terms is that he? He's uh, you know, he's the
PT Barnum Barnum of the Internet age. And so I'm worried about
it. And I think it's always dangerous when things are
allowed to be toxic on a platform, but at the same time,
it's not a very big platform.
Yeah. So I'm always worried. You know, as the grandmother of
Silicon Valley, whenever there's something toxic on a platform,
I'm a little concerned. At the same
time journalists do use it, many rely on it, it can be a powerful
message for journalism and powerful tool. We saw the VP of
the European Commissioner respond saying the suspensions.
She thought violated the EU's digital services and Media
Freedom Act. She tweeted there are red lines and sanctions soon
there. What about here in the US? Do you think Twitter needs
to be regulated? No,
I don't. And I don't I think that's going to be a real
problem here is because of First Amendment issues. They really
Twitter can do whatever it wants, unfortunately, and it
happens to be owned by someone who's somebody responsible about
running it or not somewhat very responsible about running it
very.
So she did not disclose that she's a paid advisor the whole
pivot show. Her boyfriend Scott Galloway is an investor in post
dot news. And what's interesting, you know, I follow
all the journos on Mastodon and first of all, every single one
of them, they tweet and and to the same thing, so they whatever
they post on Mastodon, they're still if they are allowed to if
they're having an account, like Jeff Jarvis, Jeff Jarvis. Hi, I
show all the journalists how to do the mastodon because I'm Jeff
Jarvis. I know how to do it. And he is such a dick. But he also
crossed Oh, I just got he's he's my new hate. He's my hate watch.
And he posts everything on Twitter and Mastodon acting like
big man on campus. He's got he's got the message on one on one
for journalists. Yes, I put that together so I can show people
how to do it. And so the journalists come in. They always
say, well, we've got to change this Macedon is not working the
way we want it? And of course they get exactly what they
deserve which is no Shut up, go go build your own do whatever we
don't care. My favorite, my favorite mean, are you
telling me that he wants them to switch stuff when this is kind
of one of those open source projects that you can do
whatever you want with and you can make it yours exactly the
way you want especially
for black people. Because black people can't live as their full
selves because there's no quote tweet I think we went over this
on a previous episode because there's no way to quote and
tweet that's the call response that black Americans need to
have without that Macedon is racist. Exactly. But the best
thing that happened was this was this is a media ight you know
media I think I think they're more right leaning than left
probably and so there's how Elon Musk starts blocking or banning
any link to Mastodon and there's you know, forever there's been a
join mastodon.com address which is you know, explains how you
can join and sign up for for instance and account on instant
somewhere. This num not miss reads it. He doesn't read join
Mastodon No, he reads John Mastodon and, and reports the
following. Before the latest wave of suspensions, Twitter had
already suspended the account posting the location of Musk's
jet. Then the platform removed John Mastodon, the founder of a
competing social media company named after himself, just for
posting a link to the jet trackers Mastodon account. This
idiot doesn't even know where Mastodon comes from. Miss reads
join mastodon.com Thinking that the guy who created mastodons
name was John mastodon.
And he named Mastodon, Roseanne Roseanna. Danna bit
completely. Of course, they immediately know that's been
taken down, but I have a screenshot of it in the show
notes is crazy.
Oh, send me a send me this. Yeah. It goes to the newsletter.
Go it has to.
Let's see what else. Oh, yeah, this was interesting. Barry
Weiss has written about the Twitter reporting. And there's a
couple of nuggets in this substack article that she wrote.
And here's here's the journalists that she's been
working with Matt Taibbi investigative reporters
connected to the free press. This is the thing we're trying
to figure out what it is including Abigail Schreier,
Michael Shellenberger Leighton Woodhouse, plus Free Press
reporters Susie Weiss, which I think is Barry's wife, Peter
Zavod, Nick, Olivia Ryan gold, Isaac Graf steam. I have not
heard of any of these people. So they camped out in a windowless
fluorescent lit room at Twitter headquarters began looking
through the company's vast archive of internal
communications. But what's interesting is she says that
they had to work through lawyers using E discovery tools, which
he describes as software designed for lawyers to help
them search huge amounts of information. If you're working
through lawyers, are the lawyers using the eDiscovery tools and
giving you the results? I'm, I'm troubled by the by the writing
the actual sentence, we had to work through lawyers using E
discovery tools. Sounds to me like they are being handed
things that has come
out exactly what it sounds like. That's the way that sentence is
structured this which DNA we had to work through lawyers that you
can stop, full stop right there. Whatever tools they were using,
what difference does it make that kind of doesn't mean
anything. But if you're working through lawyers, and lawyers are
handing you stuff, which means it's contaminated. Yes,
that's the way I read it. Yeah. So this will just continue and
and she you know, I think Kara Swisher is correct. And I've
always said to Elon, why say differently? She said Elon Musk
is the PT Barnum of tech. I've always said he is more like the
Kim Kardashian of tech. He's a great endorser. And you know, He
clearly doesn't doesn't work at any of these companies. Really.
I wouldn't have time to jaunt down to off to Qatar to go hard
just to watch a one loan game off
to Doha. Everybody has one does. So as one does. I'm off to Doha.
What can I say? Yeah, so it's
stopped by your doulos shopper, stopover in Dubai, pick up some
rugs and do some duty free shopping and be on your way
back. Let's see. Let's see where he is. Hold on. Let me go look
up Elon jet. I always love how every every journalist that
complains about, you know Elon kicking them off Twitter. It's
publicly accessible information. Yeah, there's a lot of publicly
available in here. Go Elon, Elon Musk jet. Let me see. Do we have
a new update? This is three hours ago. So his trip to Doha?
15 hours, 30 minutes total. II took up about seven, almost 8000
gallons of fuel. So probably about 85 tons of co2 emissions.
I love how they're doing that to him now. Oh, he's killing the
climate. I don't think he's ever cared about the climate. Right.
He's still there. He hasn't come back. Yeah, there was a party if
they went via London. So he flew to London first then from London
there must have refueled there and then went to Doha. Yeah,
that would be the route. Yeah. So he's party. Yes. Party.
Party with Argentina. Yeah, of course. Hello. I found he's
there. And they invited him over and they're all with him. And
he's drinking with them and smoking cigars. Probably. And
they'd get these Bobby doused. doused. Yeah. Good for him.
I agree. Hey, Ilan, come on over, man. Oh,
you can speak Spanish. You know, he doesn't know what's going on.
Yeah, fine.
Excellent. All right. Now, where do we go from here? And we've
already done the most the biggest news, the only news that
anybody seems to care about.
Well, there was an interesting. This is also all awfully long.
But there's a couple of gems in here. But PBS NewsHour, Judy,
one of her last jobs. I was yes. And I think this is a Philly,
they ran this yesterday. Or I'm sorry. They ran this on Friday.
And I think it was like Christmas vacation. And they
this is just a filler. She's dead already. Yeah, everyone's
gone. Nobody except us. You and I the only people that work
during these moments and
some trolls. Can the troll you and me and some trolls. That's
all that's the only people working. Yeah. So she
did an interview with the CIA director Bill Burns. Oh, okay.
Now Burns is an interesting guy. And the first clip is, uh, is
her introducing him. So we and I kept it in there because it was
it's good background. This guy's no slouch. When he speaks he's a
little like, some of those guys in the past rules he I think
would be one of them. And some some other guys that were very
soft spoken. Never gives away the store does doesn't seem to
have a big ego that needs to be stroked, or he doesn't brag
about anything like like Brennan was the probably the worst CIA
director they've ever had
when it came to bragging for sure.
And so it's hard to get. So that's why I had to get so many
clips because you gotta like dig into each one. There's only
there's two out of the eight that have something interesting
in them that is like, oh, that could mean something to us. But
let's start with billboards interview PBS.
Bill Burns has been a career diplomat, a pillar of the State
Department for decades, rising to the number two job deputy
secretary in President Obama's second term. He's been
ambassador to Russia, and was instrumental in setting up the
Iran nuclear deal. But for much of the past two years, he's worn
a different hat for President Biden, Director of the CIA. It
was a change of venue and a scene for him, but not of the
mission as he sees it. And with a world full of direct and
urgent challenges. These are not quiet days at the CIA. I met
director burns this morning at the sprawling CIA headquarters
in Northern Virginia for a rare interview
home game all right, should you be went to see it? She went to
see the mountain went to Muhammad.
She made a big mistake and there if you listen carefully, what
was changed she says there's going to the CIA as the head is
a change of venue.
Say again,
she said it was a change of venue. Oh, as if he wasn't a
spook all along.
Okay, good point. I'll take it
all right, let's see what he now you got to go. Okay, here's
number two.
Is the generation represented by you or sorry? What was
that? Wow, I don't know. He's,
he eats master of disguise.
Bill Burns. Just about Ukraine. We try to get a little
information on this. I think this is a clip could easily be
skipped. But we're gonna play all this busy.
Let's do it. No one else is working.
Talk about Ukraine. I mean, right now, Vladimir Putin is
talking about Ukraine, how you guys went in there and 2014 and
screwed the whole country over, that'd be great.
Giving every indication he's not backing down. He's going to
stick with this war of attrition as long as he possibly can, that
nothing will deter him. Is he
right? No, I think he's wrong. I think I'm sorry.
What is this clanging?
I hear in the background is a bunch of noise in the
background. What is going on with that? And it's constant
throughout the entire interview?
Are they sharpening their knives? Or is it the clinking
idea and
they don't show it they just say it looks like they're in a
secluded room. But no, Skiff
with the champagne glasses, he's
wrong in that bed just as he was wrong profoundly wrong in the
bed that he made on February 24, when he launched this war.
Tactically, I think what we see at least at CIA is a reduced
tempo and fighting between the two militaries as winner sets
in. The Russian military has badly battered right now the
Ukrainian military is determined to keep up the pressure, build
on their battlefield successes that the last several months,
but they also need time to refit and resupply. But there's
nothing at all reduced about the tempo of Putin's increasingly
brutal attacks against Ukrainian civilians, and Ukrainian
civilian infrastructure.
But the cost to the United States weaponry ammunition,
Europeans and what they're sacrificing for this war to go
on. You're not concerned that he could outlast all that.
I don't underestimate for a moment. The burdens the
challenges that this war poses for Ukrainians first and
foremost, but for all of us who support Ukraine, but
strategically, I think, in many ways, you know, Putin's war has
has less far been a failure for Russia, the Russian military has
performed poorly and suffer huge losses. The Russian economy has
suffered long term damage. Most of the progress that the Russian
middle class has made over the last 30 years is being
destroyed. I think Russia's reputation has been badly
undermined and its weaknesses have been exposed. The Russian
population seems increasingly uneasy about the costs of war as
well the fact that Putin when he launched at the end of September
a partial mobilization, the reality was that more Russians
that military age fled the country that he was able to
round up and send to the friends so he's got a lot of challenges
as well.
So this is this is the new the new new meme is a Daily Beast
wrote this, Russia can finally see that Putin's days are
numbered. This is this is what they're trying now, all people
at home don't like him. They don't like him.
Well, we can see where the Daily Beast is getting their talking
points.
What is in the dailies in The Daily Beast. Isn't that
Shapiro's outfit? No, no, no, that's Daily Caller. No, that's
no Daily Caller is Tucker Carlson's outfit.
That's the daily wire.
The daily wire is okay. Daily Beast is tard. Got it? You write
daily wire?
Daily really be sorry, Daily Beast is a left wing operation.
Right. Well, they got CIA then. Bingo. Yeah. So
the CIA's given them the talking points, and they were producing
nice copy.
A lot of copy actually end game. It has a little like red stamp
and game.
Read. And I have an idea. Okay. That part's free.
Do you see any real threat to his position?
Well, I think there's an unease across the Russian population.
Right now. There's an unease from some more hawkish critics
who are, you know, who see the conduct of the war as being
flawed? And then you have the unease I mentioned before, you
know, lots of Russians and military age young Russian men
fleeing the country as well. So I'm not trying to suggest that
that poses an immediate grip, you know, threat to his grip on
power. He's created a very secure and repressive
authoritarian regime in his eyes.
Oh, yeah. Here's another article I caught.
before. Before I go to that, I want you to look at what he said
at the end there. He said, and he's, he says that Putin thinks
that he's created a repressive and authoritarian regime regime,
he's proud of it. That's bullcrap. Putin doesn't think
he's created an authoritarian repressive regime is reported it
might be authoritarian and repressive. But that's not Putin
is thinking no think
well, but perhaps the director of CIA is familiar with who
thinking, you know, these guys are good.
These guys are good. Yeah, they're great. They mind
readers.
There's, there's this other kind of sub thread this running that
really this all of this started with Putin homophobia. That's,
that's really where it all started. Putin regards
homophobia as a means of rallying a credulous population
during a failing war. It's the best evidence scene of his
imitation of the tyrannies of the 20th century because as you
know, both the Nazis and the communists killed the gays
according to yet another band journo okay.
I got nothing else on that. Little bit on China now. Oh,
yeah. Oh, God.
They covered all the bases.
Everything out in the last weeks is the Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs Mark Milley, General Milley is speaking about winter
may be a time for negotiations between us. We can't have that.
How do you see that most
conflicts and negotiations. But that requires a seriousness on
the part of the Russians in this instance, that I don't think we
see at least it's not our assessment that the Russians are
serious at this point about a real negotiation.
I want to bring China into the conversation. What's your level
of concern right now about cooperation between the Russians
and the Chinese.
When Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin have formed a pretty close
partnership over recent years, you know, a few weeks before
Putin launched his invasion in Ukraine, when they met at the
Winter Olympics in Beijing. They proclaimed a friendship without
limits. What turns out that there actually are some limits
to that partnership, at least in terms of President Xi's
reluctance to supply the kind of military assistance to Putin
that he's asked for in the course of the war in Ukraine. So
I wouldn't underestimate for a moment their commitment between
the Chinese and Russian leadership's to that
partnership. But it's been interesting to watch the Chinese
leadership's reaction to the war in Ukraine, I don't think any
foreign leader has paid more careful attention to that war,
and Russia's poor military performance than Xi Jinping has,
as he thinks about his own ambitions in Taiwan and
elsewhere.
This guy sounds like he's got it all under control, doesn't he?
But as his style Cha, maybe he does, maybe he's running the
show wouldn't surprise me.
Yeah, maybe? Yeah. Well, he's got the background to actually
do work. I wanted to play these clips on the show, because it's
a good background or to everything we do.
In fact, I have a couple of clips to play into it once we're
done with the series.
And so let's go listen to what it now this is the first clip
where it you have the rest of these, you know, he's got some
misstatements I think about Putin about Putin thinks he
doesn't know. But this is the first clip on Taiwan that he
actually does. There's a factoid in here, he actually let one go,
he let one out to the public, he released a fact
here it is believe there are near term ambitions on his part,
to take over Taiwan. And I mean, in this next year or so,
yeah, I'm not sure I would measure it in terms of months or
a year. But I would not underestimate for a moment or
nor do any of my colleagues here at CIA underestimate his
ambition to control Taiwan. In other words, to unify Beijing
and Taiwan on The PRCs terms. He's insisted publicly that his
preference is to do that by me and short of the use of force,
but we know that he's also instructed his military
leadership to be ready by 2027 to launch a war. And so I think
the honest answer is the further you get into this decade, the
greater the risks of a military conflict.
2027 Have you heard this? No, it's a weird number. I haven't
heard of 2027 about anything. 2030 2050 by 2020 So
those are all Yeah, but it's all United Nations World Order
stuff. The others numbers. This is a number that they that they
got from China from there, who if they even have any spies left
there, I guess.
Not even a lucky number. Wouldn't it be 28 I mean, it's
911 it is 11 I don't know that doesn't seem like
there's nothing there's just a number. And, but if he is solid
with it, it says
the CIA chief familiar with Zhi Jing, pings calendar predicts
that 2027 Hmm. Okay, well, we got a while to go then. Yeah.
Oh, this
be a long time ago. So here we go with it. Now he's going to
discuss tick tock.
One other question about China is there Very popular social
media platform app, Tik Tok, your domestic counterpart, the
head of the FBI, Chris Rea, has said it's a threat to US
national security. Do you agree?
I do. I mean, I think it's a genuine concern, I think for the
US government, in the sense that because the parent company of
Tiktok is a Chinese company, the Chinese government is able to,
you know, insist upon extracting the private data of a lot of Tik
Tok users in this country, and also to shape the content of
what goes on to tick tock as well, to suit the interests of
the Chinese leadership. I think those are real challenges. And a
source of real concern
is, you know, some American lawmakers want to ban Tiktok, do
you think that's a good idea?
Well, you know, in my role See, this is where blessedly as an
intelligence and an intelligence roll, I mean, I'm not I'm not
gonna offer judgments on those kinds of policy or legislative
decisions. What I would underscore though, is that it's
genuinely troubling to see you know, what the Chinese
government could do to manipulate Tik Tok?
And what would you recommend people tell their children or
their young friends that
went doors? No,
it'd be really careful.
You want to say anything more than that?
No. really careful.
Wow. That's what was she going for? I have no idea when you
hear that again. Let me get let me hear that again. That was
kind of pathetic.
Was she expecting to manipulate?
I think she was expecting a different answer. Someone at CIA
told her that I as is number one, we're looking at where you
saved the children.
And what would you recommend people tell their children or
their young friends about whether us to
be really careful?
You want to say anything more than that?
Nope. really careful,
huh? No,
you know what your your analysis I has to be spot on. They told
her that she's got to ask this question and to expect this
answer. And he never delivered the answer you didn't deliver.
So she asked again, say Well, maybe he forgot what the script
said. Let me ask it again. Hey, Eliza Schlesinger with that
crazy.
I've been tracking Tencent who, you know, they, they own the
bytedance. They also have a significant stake in Elon Musk's
empire, more than likely in in Twitter as well, certainly
Tesla. Ever since their earnings, which was end of
November. They've gotten here, they're up there on the NASDAQ.
They've gone from about five bucks to eight bucks. They've
almost Well, they've they've they've they've almost doubled,
they got pretty close that nine there's something going on
people people in the know are buying the stock, and it's going
up in like a parabolic almost
was this tic TOCs a hell of a product. Yeah, they're, they're
concerned about the Chinese gathering data. They're not
they're
concerned about the earnings that tick tock, well, no,
no, no. Yeah. You're telling it under, you're telling the
underlying truth? Yes, sorry. I'm telling what they're
concerned about. And so they say they're concerned about this,
oh, they're going to collect all this data on what data they're
going to collect. I mean, it's just a bunch of goofballs
usually on Tik Tok, or somebody falling off a roof. And by law,
by the way, guys an idiot. He's just schlemiel put him on that
list. It's Lexus.
It's LexisNexis. As we know, Nexus, who does the vetting and
the onboarding? It's an American company that does that. For
them. They're contracted to do that?
Well, my point is not that my point is, if they're so damn
concerned about all this stuff, how come they don't mention or
even show any concern about these genetic testing companies,
or these companies that do gene testing to see what kind of you
look like, you're gonna get sick when you get older, and descend,
and they're owned by Chinese companies and that data of
American citizens genes structures are being shipped to
China? The reason? There's no mention of that,
because it's pharmaceutical companies. They run the world.
Alright, on to the next topic is Iran control is short. These are
last clips are short. On Iran.
This is an Iranian regime does does not have good answers for
what's on the minds of a very young population 70% of which
today is under the age of 30.
Can those protests continue though given the number of
arrests of people who are dead and now execution?
I think they can and it's been a remarkable in the Keesha have
both that frustration that I mentioned before, and also the
genuine courage of people out in the streets. And so, you know,
this has gone on for just about three months now. And it can
continue for some time.
And now, of course, we sat around with the Russians in
Ukraine using the drones. How worried? Are you about that
relationship?
Well, quite worried. I mean, you know, historically, there's a
lot of mistrust between Russians and Iranians, but they need each
other right now. And what's beginning to emerge is at least
the beginnings of a full fledged Defense Partnership. Oh, nice
to know that CIA will be continuing to, to ignite
protests in Iran, because that's clearly how he knows that.
Oh, yeah. No, I was listening to this one with it. I was there
running the OP. In Iran, they would have some insight. So
okay, so it's gonna continue for four months, at least
good to know. Good to know.
Yes. Same exact thought, who didn't know i Here's another
situation. This is the last clip. This is him talking about
the North Korea, and this great series of little clips. This is
a one where a Judy I guess, made a mistake or said something
wrong. And she I kept the pauses and stuff in because it was a
some sort of a botch or something. I'm not sure what
happened. She's good. You'll get a kick out of this. And this is
him talking about the North Koreans. Just a question
about North Korea. There was another test today of a saw, I
guess, a solid state ng missile, and the US has no eyes on the
ground in the country. Is that right? No answer. If where is
that headed? Where do you see that regime going? And do you
see any evidence that the US can head off the worst kind of
attack that the North Koreans may be capable of? Well, I
mean, I think what we've seen over the last year, just as she
said, Judy is quite troubling, more than 50 launches of North
Korean missiles of various ranges. And clearly preparations
for what would be the seventh nuclear test by the North Korean
regime as well.
All right, so I'm gonna say this was also the way the briefing
went and someone was not. Someone didn't brief burns
properly. The briefing went. Look, we're going to say we
don't have any boots on the ground in North Korea. So don't
even ask about it. So what she does is she says we don't have
anybody a boots on the ground. Thank you. She's gonna get a
quick. That's right. But instead, the guy was not
briefed. Anyone? I think that's what happened. He was listening.
So I guess a solid state engine. And the US has no eyes on the
ground in the country. Is that right? No answer.
Wow.
Yeah, that was a fuckup.
I think it's the same. I think it's the same briefing, someone,
something got briefed poorly on one or the other or both sides.
That was a complete botch that lasts. Why did they leave that
in? I know why. It's the it's the holiday crew.
Exactly.
Now, did you at any point, have anything to say about the still
not fully released JFK documents?
I don't remember that. Now. I don't think so. The public they
should do because that's, that's that is a That's it. That's a
crime against
crime. It's a crime. Here's a quick story.
Because it was it was give everyone a background on this.
There was legislation. I think it was in the 90s. That during
you had sorry, I think it was during Clinton, wasn't it? Yeah,
I think it was during Clinton, who said you have to release all
the JFK doctors, all of them. Every single document. It's 75
years after the death. I think that was basically the the law
and it was put in law. And then it was so that minute during the
Trump administration, it was supposed to be released. But
now, the CIA's pushed back on Trump's that, don't do it. Don't
do it. Don't do it. And so they didn't do it and Trump has
pushed it out, kick the can down the road from your well, it's
gonna get released. So what, by the way, which I think is
another flaw on Trump. He should have just released it. But as
per law, they're going to impeach him to impeach him for
that. That would be easier be because it's a violation. So now
we have to come up again with Biden and by the same thing, no,
no, I'm not going to do it.
Is that exactly I think he said I believe it should all be
released. But
yeah, well, somebody's not gonna do it. Yeah. Well, here's
the public is getting its first look at newly released documents
about JFK assassination. 13,000 records have now been made
public by the Biden administration, including
information about Lee Harvey Oswald and his time in Mexico.
The National Archives says only 3% of its documents related to
the assassination are still redacted due to national
intelligence concerns. Yeah,
there it is. Intelligence concerns like you might find out
that we're a bunch of creeps. Yes. Okay. So just responding to
a couple of these these different things differently.
You
know, you've got to take the CIA side on this day would make the
argument of course Ron Paul's the one who said and we have the
clip somewhere you probably find it. Ron Paul said that the CIA
took over the country. And we just have you know, assumed as
possible. It bloodless coup. It with the assassination of
Kennedy. Right. At some point they decided well, Kennedy's
gotta go because he was he was problematic. And I use the word
advisedly, you did is a problematic President cuz he was
probably mobbed up like the entire Kennedy family. And it
was like you having the mafia running the country? It wasn't a
good, good idea. So sure, let
me see if this is it.
Why did you reject the Secret Service protection? Seems like
that would be well, it's a form of welfare.
No, that's not it. It wasn't called. It wasn't called Ron
Paul, CIA. You know, the can't find it. We do have the, I'm
sure we do somewhere.
But Ron Paul made the assertion first. And it was dated at the
Kennedy assassination. And anyone who knew anybody who,
whose family or friends was in the CIA during that era,
including a woodworker that worked here at this house. He
told me and his dad was a field guy. And he says in Hong Kong,
or in I think it was Hong Kong. He says he was called back to
the states on an emergency basis the day before the
assassination. And he thought it was kind of fishy.
My favorite is if you ask anyone who was around and alive during
the 63 assassination of Kennedy, where they were, it's very
similar to ourselves and me, certainly. With 911. I remember
exactly where I was, you remember where you were? You
were old enough to remember where you were on. When Kennedy
was assassinated? What you were doing? You remember that?
Literally, do you want to share?
I was in school? Uh huh. And it was announced over the PA
system.
So for those who don't know, there was only one person who
cannot remember where he was on that fateful day. Good story,
and that is George Bush Senior.
Yeah, George HW. No, not HW. Ah, no, it's HW. No, it's
George. Oh, you're right. Herbert herbert walker. Yeah. Is
he I thought. Anyway, the old guy the dead one.
Yeah, the one who ran the CIA. Yeah.
He didn't know where he was. I can't remember. I just can't
remember where I was.
And he was in Texas. I think they have photos of him there. I
guess he was. I don't think they have photos but they have
frozen in Dallas.
I think there's flight records or some there's something that I
remember from many, many years of
writing, you know, you have to say, you know, doing the country
of favorite the way you saw it.
jump out of airplanes, save the world. That's what it was back
in the day. All right. Let me move on to some of the other
things the CIA director discussed there. You know,
these, these collaborations between Russia and China, Russia
and Iran. There was a big EU. Storm Trooper, Star Fleet
command meeting. Everyone getting together, talking about
what are we going to do Russia has a real problem. And are we
still gonna be able to stand up to Russia as a bloc? And I just
got this off of where'd this come from? I think this is from
this may be from your own news. They they interviewed one of our
buddies Gifford hofstadt. If you remember he used to be the the
for a while there. He was the Prime Minister of Belgium but of
course we remember him. As a member of European Parliament
during Brexit he had a big mouth and he likes to race old
fashioned cars, and he tells it like it is
but for all that has been achieved in the way of support
for Ukraine. The crisis has exposed some deep cracks in the
EU system. Many in Europe are concerned about the loss of
title in a changing world,
what we need is a will of the 27 member states to build a real
European Union that can be effective and resilient in the
world of tomorrow. Because the world of tomorrow, let's be very
clear about that. It's not a world of member states or
nations, it will be a wealth of blocks of empires.
A stronger European Union means acting as a collective. But
member states have to be prepared to cede more
sovereignty to Brussels to be able to do that. But faced with
an energy crisis triggered by the war in Ukraine, EU member
states have increasingly gone the other way, pursuing their
national interests as they seek to shield their own economies
and populations from the wars consequences.
So we're gonna have blocks, blocks, which also means we'll
have different reserve currencies.
What they explain this to me What is What did they say
they're gonna have blocks, like countries, you know, like
sovereign nations.
Yeah, that we have blocks. So you have the European Union
block. That's a block the United States and I guess, eventually
they want to make it United States, Canada and Mexico, that
will be a block. Yeah. And then it'll be China, Russia, probably
Iran will be a block. You know,
what about South America that these guys left with the short
sheet they just won the World Cup now
they just who's gonna want someone else to go down there
and invade them and bring them into their block. Let's bring
them into their block. Now there is a block forming against
China. And I'm pretty sure that this is built on our military
industrial complex and our money printing. As Japan gets ready.
Japan unveiled plans for its biggest military buildup since
World War Two. The government says it will double defense
spending bring it up to the NATO standard of 2% of GDP. Japan's
move away from a self defense only stance comes as it seeks to
counter regional threats. It plans to acquire long range
missiles capable of striking China. Beijing said the plans
undermined bilateral relations, and I'm very pleased to be
joined now by Tomohiko Taniguchi is a professor at Keio
University Graduate School and formerly a special adviser to
Japan's late Prime Minister Shinzo are they? And I
just want to say this is Deutsche Bella, who are bringing
a lot of interesting reports like this,
Professor Taniguchi Could you give us an idea of how
significant this announcement we just heard about is good, just
not only significant, but long overdue, because the street
address and ZIP code that you find around Japan requires much
much more insurance premium. Japan is an immediate neighbor
to Russia, North Korea and China.
Doesn't this guy sound like George Takei? Like all of a
sudden he's gonna go hey, now, just
k never went?
Oh, my No, he says
that's not something that you could envy. And Russia is 1/3 of
Japan in terms of in terms of economy, but China is growing
still fast. And it's already four or five times as large as
Japan's economy. And China is 10 times as big as Russia as regard
GDP, none of which has ever exercised the democracy and
investing in all of all of which are investing very much heavily
in nuclear arsenal. So it's significant, but belated action.
And all that all I see flying is Osprey is I see Patriot
missiles.
There's an Osprey in the Bay Area that flies over the house
every one did during the show once I remember
they got they they've they've killed the Osprey program. They
have new new
sensors will kill anything which is like an Osprey rotor it's a
die slightly different looking wing and but the Osprey when it
comes in it flew by the other day to death thing is just a
noisy is right thing I've ever heard in my life. Whap Whap Whap
it's just shakes the house is worse than the earthquake. So by
the way, that report is not unknown to the United States. We
do have a PBS version. Uh huh.
Okay,
hold on a second. Short and sweet. This is the clip is
called Japan China is called China update. No, it's called
Japan rearming?
Yes, yes, I've got it here.
Japan is making a major break from its self defense only
security strategy. The new policy calls for acquiring first
strike capability and cruise missiles. Prime Minister Fumio
Kishida said today that Japan's existing military cannot handle
growing rats from China and North Korea today can the
current capability of the Self Defense Forces deter a threat to
our country? When a threat becomes real can they protect
our country? We carried out a realistic simulation to say that
frankly the current situation is insufficient
Beijing charge that the Japanese move amounts to quote hyping up
the so called China threat
so hiding up
it's kind of overlooked in the thing even though the Japanese
make good product we're the ones that make them armaments jobs
money in the bank for us, but isn't a money market, unexplored
exploited market?
But wait a minute, haven't we? We as the Federal Reserve,
haven't we propped up Japan with all this money, the Bank of
Japan, I think there was like 100, hundreds of billions of
swap. We
won it back. We want it back.
That's what it is. I agree. Just saying It's our money, too. So
we're giving them that we printed up the money. And now
we're gonna sell them this stuff. Which by the way, is all
the new stuff that we built with the Ukraine money?
Yeah. We got rid of inventory. We're building back up. We had a
build better than better yet.
We got it. It's an Mi c term build back better bombs.
Yes. All right.
Let's go back to Deutsche Avella. As China is still in a
little bit of trouble. Beijing specifically, as you know, they
had to, they had to release some of the pressure as people were
getting really angry about being locked up like dogs being welded
in their homes to die. In fact, they remember when they were
killing the dogs and cats, clubbing him and throwing in
bags on the street, only to show up later in the rations. Now,
here's what's going on now.
COVID-19 cases are surging across China as people take
advantage of new freedoms. Nationwide frustration and
unprecedented public protests forced authorities to ease
quarantine and travel restrictions. But since then,
more and more people are testing positive. official figures on
infections and fatalities remain low. But some estimates put the
likely death toll at more than 1 million by the end of next year.
People in Beijing lineup to get nasal spray boosters, cases are
surging
if you're gonna see MD gotta see these nasal spray boosters. This
report has video. So you it's on the street, the patient puts
tilts their head back and they insert this syringe with like a
little obviously not with a needle on the end but a a spout
and as a stopper that kind of goes in your nostril and they
shoot this whole thing him like right into the back of your
brain is like oh and you can see the people wincing when this
happens.
Bad Beijing line up. Probably killing
them here with what's wrong with an inhaler. You gotta slow spray
like we have, you know in this country, and yet, you breathe it
in
No, no there's fish, like like a navy forcing
it down your throat with like a neti pot.
Get nasal spray boosters, cases are surging after the government
abruptly ended its strict zero COVID policy in the wake of
nationwide protests against the restrictions. Authorities are
trying to persuade reluctant seniors and others at risk to
get vaccinated to prevent large scale outbreaks,
hospitalizations, and deaths. Those already showing symptoms
make their way to temporary clinics set up around the city
like this public gymnasium where they can get medical advice and
treatment. Others are opting to stay home either because they're
already sick or trying to avoid infection. That means deliveries
of food and everyday items are in heavy demand. But scores of
workers are also coming down with the virus. So packages pile
up on the streets unclaimed in China's financial hubs. Shanghai
schools have switched to online classes as cases soar nurseries
and childcare centers are also set to close. Across the
country. People were quick to return to old habits when the
restrictions were eased crowding shopping malls and subway
stations, restaurants.
This is Giorgio Vela again, and I am of the belief that they are
only reporting this in this particular fashion because you
didn't see any video of what you described except for the nasal
the nasal spray. I think they're gearing everybody up to get all
freaked out and scared. Because all it's happening. Oh boy, you
think they're gearing up for the Europeans to have to go do
another long? Yeah,
I do. And here's part two.
The Chinese capital Beijing is seeing a sharp increase in COVID
19 cases and high numbers of workers testing positive for or
the virus means that the city's funeral homes are overwhelmed.
Undertaker's say they're short on drivers and workers, so
families have to wait longer to cremate their relatives, local
media and reported more Coronavirus, LinkedIn deaths,
even though official tallies do not include the latest victims.
China have relaxed some of the world's toughest measures to
control the spread of the virus just over a week ago.
So we're all gonna die.
Well, they are all gonna die. That's not we don't have that
angle here. I got a PBS version, I think is about the same thing
as the China update, which you cited earlier. And I think this
is all they have to say
China's leaders pledged today to boost the country's economy
after pandemic losses that followed a two day conference,
the Chinese government has ended strict lockdowns that weakened
economic growth, but there are growing fears of an explosion of
CO gossip.
It's coming, it's coming and everyone's gonna forget. They're
all there already. Masking is already happy here. ABC. Yeah,
here we go.
Good morning hospitals around the country treating an inrush
of patients battling a perfect storm and
in rush this is a new term, like in rush. So not like hospitals
are overwhelmed or filled full filled to the brim now it's an
inrush we're rushing in it's an inrush
this morning hospitals around the country treating an inrush
of patients battling a perfect storm of viruses. Why do these
patients are very sick in preparation of this winter, sir.
Did you hear that insert? It was beautiful.
Classic like
a lot of these patients very sick rush of patients battling a
perfect storm of viruses. Why do these patients are very sick in
preparation of this winter surge. The Biden administration
is once again offering households free COVID-19
testing.
John There you go free. It's free. But to go get him go.
I already already put it is called COVID test.gov. I already
ordered for the family get
more. It's more free free COVID-19
testing at COVID test.gov.
They promoted it for you. Oh, John, you should just try to get
more. Just try to get more. I think you should do you like
getting free stuff from your government? Hey,
I already paid for
it. I want it be COVID-19 testing kits at COVID test.gov.
We saw at some resources left
Whitehouse health officials urging people to test themselves
if they have symptoms and before timely this holiday shopping.
Who is this? What who's reporting here? I can tell you
actually CBS has got to be
CBS ABC and the ABC reporter is
I don't care about it's just the way that ensued. It's the person
who did the editing with all these drop ins. Yeah. You know,
it's me that resources left you know, they just go right they
just plow through this report. It's really funny the way they
put it together.
This is M Nuun so I think she's a B stringer backbencher.
Oh, tell you we're on vacation.
Okay, so the guy who's editing the package is like, I'm really
gonna show everybody how to get done. Watch me put these little
drops in there. Watch me do this little stuff, man. It's gonna be
great. Yes,
like
the people who come in.
They're gonna, the brass is gonna notice me now
themselves if they have symptoms and before visiting with family
this holiday season. The President's plan comes as the
country faces a rise in respiratory viruses COVID-19,
RSV, and the flu
flu is rising in many parts of country. We're probably the
worst flu outbreak we've seen in a decade.
One boy in San Diego county so sick with two strains of the flu
he was put on a ventilator and two weeks later still in the
ICU, his father urging others to get vaccinated.
It was so bad that I was scared that he wasn't going to make it.
Now the World Health Organization is also tracking a
potential uptick in invasive group A strep infections,
invasive group A strep infection. Doctor Devorah Can
you elaborate Oh, I
don't have a clue. But I'll say this. The way this package is
the way this this whole presentation has been edited and
done. The guy should get put into the A team. He's good.
There's a lot of value add. Patient,
this report is compared to what we've been playing so far. It's
the best. It's moves,
it moves, he moves. He's moving me.
I was scared that he wasn't gonna make it.
Now the World Health Organization is also tracking up
one more time. The one thing I have to say is every one of his
clips has this in the background. Sure. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I know what does he get those noisy clips he's got to do
some some some you gotta fix net
to noise gating some filtering brah sucked in that Adobe
filter, what is that thing called that Adobe filter that we
that we recommended to Project Veritas, which I think they're
using. That thing's crazy good.
Adobe's got some pretty dynamite filled, they have a blur filter,
that's unbelievable.
If I'm talking about one that removes the noise that that
makes that gets your noisy, hidden microphone that in a bar,
right? You get rid of all that. And it's not that easy to do by
hand, you can do it, but it always has, it throws the face
off and makes a mess.
No the stuff that Adobe needed tool, whether he should have
used this,
I was scared that he wasn't going to make it.
Now the World Health Organization is also tracking a
potential uptick in invasive group A strep infections as
sometimes life threatening illness among children
invasive group a start is a disease or is a cluster of
diseases actually caused by the same bacteria. And when people
sometimes talk about flesh eating bacteria, that's usually
the bacteria that we're kind of pointing to.
Okay, hold on a second. This guy's give me a little bit too
much information about invasive group A strep, which now has an
acronym, I guess, I guess, I guess.
You know, I'm back back to the editing of this thing. I think
she did the whole package. She did it. She went into the
editing
package. It's her own package.
I think she put the whole thing together because this is again,
the skeleton crew over the Christmas holidays, they
probably can't even get an out an editor to work because the
most people that do these news reports can can work in the AVID
editing room to do it themselves. If they have time.
Well, let's take a look at em un Ngu y e n, which is I think
that's very interesting. But first, let's take a little look
at some images Vietnamese.
Oh, well,
she's no, she's tiny.
Yeah, she wouldn't be if she's very tough East Asian.
Do you think she's doing the package herself?
I think she did the whole thing. Because it flows to it's just
like it's got the same machine gun style that she has
personally. So she would that would be reflected in the
editing job. Oh, did check it
out from the rap headline. This is November cites of last year,
ABC News hires anyone as multi platform reporter. If you're a
multi platform Reporter You can do this. I think you're right. I
think you're right. M is a skilled reporter and
storyteller, it will be a fantastic addition to our
talented Washington team. And she worked at spectrum news. Oh
yeah, you have to do everything yourself at spectrum. You have
to bring your own camera, set it up on sticks and stand in front
of it. Pretty much Oh, okay. Well, I'm very impressed that
you know, m m should m should be moving up
of diseases actually will ask by the same bacteria. And when
people sometimes talk about flesh eating bacteria, that's
usually the bacteria that we're kind of pointing to. It can
cause sepsis. Most of those patients you know, their illness
is obviously worse than the typical
strep throat. One doctor is saying the ongoing shortage of
the antibiotic. amoxicillin could also be exacerbating the
situation
well, there you go. I don't know about this invasive group A
strep. That's it doesn't stretch just bothersome.
Bless us bacteria in your throat.
I'm just saying it's bothersome. That stuff pops up all of a
sudden. Do we have anything? Do you have anything on COVID? We
should probably do just get anything anything out of the way
if you got anything left nobody
talked about diseases. Oh,
let's let's bring in random diseases then.
I have I take down a or a quest more of a question. Today's
question day for me of the dough Votto commercial, which is the
age thing you take. It's one of those multi ingredient is it
prep prep, and no, stop prepping someone else to finish advertise
to death. And of course ask your doctor ready even if you're not
a gay. They always have these really gay performers. They do
this. But there's a little gotcha in here. I want to play
the whole commercial, which is a buck 39 which is a buck to one
minute and 29 seconds book and listen to it and there's
something there's something peculiar in here that just I've
been trying to catch his eye because I've seen it a number of
times on television every time I hear it, I go this What a play.
Let's check this. Living with HIV. I learned I can stay
undetectable with fewer medicines. That's why I switched
to de vida. Vida was for some adults who are starting to HIV
one treatment or replacing The current HIV one regimen detect
this. No other complete HIV pill uses fewer medicines to help
keep you undetectable than Vivado. detect this. Most HIV
pills contain three or four medicines to follow is as
effective with just two. Research shows people who take
HIV treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable can
no longer transmit HIV through sex. Don't take the bottle if
you're allergic to its ingredients. Or if you take to
Adelaide, taking the bottle with to Petalite can cause serious or
life threatening side effects. Hepatitis B can become harder to
treat while on tobacco. Don't Stop the battle without talking
to your doctor as your Hepatitis B may worsen or become life
threatening. Serious or life threatening side effects can
occur including allergic reactions, lactic acid buildup
and liver problems. If you have a rash or other allergic
reaction symptoms stopped avato and get medical help right away.
Tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems or if
you are maybe are planned to be pregnant to vital may harm your
unborn baby. Use effective birth control while on the battle. Do
not breastfeed while taking Vivado most common side effects
are headache, nausea, diarrhea, trouble sleeping, tiredness and
anxiety attack this I stand detectable with fewer medicines.
Ask your doctor about switching to the battle.
All right, what? Well, first of all, as you detect this game
detect this is the idea is to make you undetectable if you get
if you have Asia v
this is what the prep does. The prep does all
while they make this comment in there you can't transmit even
though you're undetectable. Even though you have HIV, you're
undetectable which is cool. And and you can't transmit HIV per
se. And they say this in every one of these ads for say
interesting. Here's the sub clip. You can hear it here.
Oh second sub clip Yes. Thank you make
a tip treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable
can no longer transmit HIV through sex.
No through sex. No, I said per se no through sex. Sorry, maybe
I misunderstood. I heard you cannot transmit well,
okay, you know if they say through sex. That's interesting,
because the AD This is the one commercial where it was unclear.
The other one I'm telling you, she says per se it was very
clear. I think
she says per sex. I think you're incorrect. Play it again. The
sub clip. Yeah,
take HIV treatment as prescribed and get to and stay undetectable
can no longer transmit HIV through sex
through so she's saying through sex. She clearly saying,
Okay, I heard through sex that time. Of course. Now I gotta go
back to find the original commercial or I thought she said
per se. Well, now I'm Roseanne Roseanna. Danna, I fall right in
that same category. Me and Jeff Jarvis. Oh, no.
That's an opening right there. Me and Jeff Jarvis. That's just
an opening anytime we can do that. Okay, well, let me switch
it up for a second here. And speaking of little things, you
might hear someone say, there was this little, little little
itty bitty tidbit that was picked up, which I didn't pick
up but someone pointed me to this, Kevin O'Leary, you know
who that is Kevin O'Leary. He's the guy
who was one of the guys to sit stare at the shark on
Shark Tank. Yeah. So high, you know, yeah, you
got a good idea, but I don't
like I missed a wonderful, that's who he is. So Kevin
O'Leary is he I guess he had a PR deal with FTX. I don't think
he invested any money. But he, he had some kind of deal to
promote FTX and I believe that number was $12 million. And so
he feels very comfortable going around because he wasn't an
idiot that really lost money in the investment, but maybe he did
is unclear. But he's the only person who's going around and
talking on CNBC. Now, what you'll hear in this 41 second
clip, there's one little thing here that coincides so weirdly,
with a very newsworthy event, let me see if you can catch the
odd name that is mentioned in this quick clip.
I obviously know all the institutional investors in this
deal. We all look like idiots. Let's put that on the table.
Okay. We relied on each other's due diligence, but we also
relied on another investment theme that I felt drove a lot of
interest in FTX sandbagging, fried is an American. His
parents are American compliance lawyers. There were no other
American large exchanges to invest in if you wanted to enter
invest in crypto as an infrastructure play. So many of
us said, Wait a second,
who's coming to this deal? We
knew, for example, sounds like this was a group thing.
Did you know there was no CFO to
hear it? I eager. Yes. And FTX blew up the same weekend. Iger
was brought back as CEO of Disney. of Disney. Yeah.
Yeah, he mentioned I agree he was stepped on. Yeah.
And that never came back. The Iger never came back in in that
interview. Now, it was well known that
I raised me I will like know what's going on there was Iger.
Well, I
don't expect CNBC crew to actually ask any questions by
the
way the way he the way he was talking, right? It sounds like a
guy who put money in and day and all we all had to do diligence
these guys were compliance lawyers and all these everybody
we needed some in the United States. We needed a play. That
was a you know, an infrastructure play. And this
was the one it was the USA. Yeah, it sounds like he put
money in. So
one of one of my friends who was top a top person and Disney
didn't know about this change until Saturday that weekend
either. This was a very very abrupt change to bring Iger back
to it to CEO of Disney.
Oh, wait, wait, let me guess. You're thinking that I grew last
his ass maybe and had to go back to work.
That was that's the logical thing to me. Or like, Oh, this
is so embarrassing. We can't have Bob wrapped up in this. Or
Holy crap. Disney's got a hole in it. Let's cover it up with
some FTO oops. I don't know. I mean, it could be anything. But
the fact that he was mentioned as Iger was coming to this deal,
put deal. The investment deal was a big buyout deal, but he
talks about a deal Uygurs coming to this deal. So this was a
consortium of investors it's very poor CNBC, a very poor
interviewing skills and that's your Ross, Andrew Ross, scrotum,
whatever his name is. That guy's pathetic.
But I agree their interviewers are not good. But what I mean
they lost their best interviews it was the honey money and then
what's Money Money?
Money, money. Money, honey. And the other one I like honey money
that's even better. What other one and what other ones did they
lose?
The one that's the Council on Foreign Relations. Young younger
ones. She's the one I worked with when I was just doing spots
for CNBC. Trump hater and she's like, Oh,
that. That's everybody. Trump. Hey, where is she now then? CNN,
you mean Erin? Yeah. Erin Burnett,
Erin Burnett. She was a good interviewer. You know, and
what happened to her because once they killed the fat guy,
her co host because they killed him that killed that guy. T was
when he was 50. Who the guy who died her co host on CNBC.
When she was on CNBC. She had her own show. Oh, man, she
did the morning show. No, she
did it. She was doing an afternoon show that I worked on.
It was like a two or something like that.
Hold on a second. It was the co host on CNBC this morning. Come
on what was what was that? What was that call
to look her up and look at her bio.
I'm looking at her bio. But it was the it was people know I'm
not mixing people up squawk on the street co anchor of squawk
on the street. Here we go. It was mark something rather. Mark
Haines and Mark Mark Haines. Oh, I
don't even know who that is
the fat guy who was her co host that guy.
fat shaming a dead man.
I mean, look, I'm saying they killed him and I'm just trying
to give I'm not trying to say that he died because he was fat.
Let me see Mark Haines.
Yeah, so no, I remember him. Yeah, Mark. Yes, Squawk
Box, and then squawk on the street in 2011. And he keeled
over. And then she then she became bad. She just she was no
good. She can't carry the show herself is my feeling. And if
you watch her whenever she asks a question, Tina mentioned this
to me. She talks her head like a cocker spaniel. Yes, she does
and it gets really irritating.
Like she's looking for some sound. Dog Whistle Okay, anyway,
those two are out and they're suit and then they had the other
girl that looked like Goldie Hawn and she quit when some they
lost a lot of people because they didn't mean they never paid
well. And once Fox moved in on the territory into Fox Business,
even though Fox Business stinks, that's where the honeymoon
Anyway, but it took a bunch of people with it, because they pay
more.
Yeah, of course. Now she's no good. No good. Oh, man. Okay,
where
are we?
I don't know, media deconstruction
of the highest order. Yeah, I think so that guy.
And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in
the morning to you the man who put the sea in the cocker
spaniel Coxhead. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John Bora.
In the morning to you Mr. Adam. qriocity morning all ships
seamlessly Rafi in the air subs in the water. It all it aims A
Night's out there.
Yes, in the morning. To all the trolls and the troll room. It's
not going to be very long donation segment. I'll let y'all
know those who think that they need to skip it. Skip it as very
poor form ICU skipping and coming back. I see it. I see it
all the time. You see it. This is where the real time this is
where the content is where the content lives people. But I'd
like to say in the morning to the trolls who are once again in
the troll room at troll room.io They're here all the time when
we do our Christmas episode. You know, a January 1 We're also
doing Oh man, it's gonna be great. We have a New Year's Eve
listening New Year's Eve dinner at the former New York Bankers
House. Oh, where's his house in Austin, but it's gonna be with
like 10 people. So we will have some good stories from the hoi
polloi. The hoity toity. Come on. It's gonna be great. It
sounds like a winner. Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be good. Hey,
anyway, big, big mad problem yesterday. Somehow I was able to
docs, our class our cloud of servers, and they wound up
talking trying to synchronize with each other, sending out
about 13,000 confirmation emails to a number of people. So it got
our attention. And it's possible that the troll counting
mechanism doesn't work. But let's give it a shot. Yes, it's
a lucky number today. 1888
to Sunday, yeah. Yeah,
I liked it. 122 No, but I liked the 1888 people are probably
like 180 No, yeah, it's a dynamite numbers better
than you like 2027 Give me a break. 1888 is good is good.
Thank you, trolls. It's lucky number it's good to have y'all
here. Of course. You can also find these trolls over at no
agenda social.com Where whether they're they have an account
there or they're just trolling around with their own accounts.
Uh, turns out, we started the mastodon five years ago. 2017 is
when we started are no. Hard to believe. I know, I have
confirmation five years ago. I don't want to say that we were
ahead of the times or anything, but there you go. And we were
also one of the first to be put on the block list as a bunch of
Nazih keh keh keh Quadroon. So there you go. We are leaders
phone finger number one. You can of course follow us even if
you've been put on a block list or find yourself a better
instance. And just to follow Adam and no agenda social.com
Jhansi Dvorak at no agenda social.com. These are not email
addresses, if you don't know what Mastodon is. Go over to
Mastodon go to John Mastodon, and find out what
it is ask Mr. Mastodon.
Ask John himself. Oh, you know, it was really lame. And I like
her, you know? Annalee Newitz you know her reporter? Yeah, I
do actually know her. She you like me? I used to come on
silicon and spin.
Yeah. And she used to that she did a big article on me for Time
magazine. When podcasting was just blowing up. And I really
liked him. We kept in touch and she interviewed me several years
later about something else. But she's gone kind of woke like
super woke. She's one of the journalists that I follow on my
secret to secret account. And so now the John Mastodon meme was
hilarious. But oh, no, we had to turn it into Joan mastodon.
Because you know, we can't have it can't have it be a man. And
she's pushing that is a little disappointing. That's a shame,
Joan. Mastadon so it's like why pretty sharp does this I think
she still is sharp, but it's just like come on. That was an
unnecessary maybe she's just being a satirical now. No, I
followed her account for a bit she's she's kind of gone a
little overboard. Anyway, this
with the spike protein does do.
Really, I'm reliably informed. Thank you very much trolls. Good
to have you here. Good to have you on the mastodon. We
appreciate that. And thank you for being a relay for being a
driving force and for being there early. Knowing how it
works. We're not surprised by anything or Are we? Of course,
we also want to thank the artists who bring us fabulous,
fabulous. Oh, by the way, I wanted to mention, whenever I
post the show on no agenda social.com, I will post
something that says, no agenda episode. It'll be 1513 today,
comment thread. You can you can respond to that thread and it
will show up in all of the podcasting 2.0 apps where you
can also respond. So it's like cross app, you can be in one
app, see a comment, comment on it, and someone else in another
app will see it as something kind of magical that we put
together and it works on Mastodon so you don't even have
to have the app. What you comment there will show up in
the app. Just want to say that. Now. Let's look at the artwork
for episode 1512. And bring it up here we titled that one
cashes criminal boy is that ever talked about that in a moment?
And this was brought to us by Sir Paul couture. And I think we
we unilaterally universally right away. We're like, this is
kind of the one that wasn't even anything competing with it. It's
the sale. There's
a lot of cheesecake for some reason. There was some nice
simple pieces I like that could do it. We didn't really argue
against it. I mean, couture. This is all licensed art. I
should mention anyone who has some complaints about it. Yeah.
The Santa's running into the snow with a couple of weirdos.
Um, we had picked a green one. There's two versions of it. We
picked one with more green and I believe
yes, we did specifically more was more green and the stars
were lit up a little bit more in the background. Yeah,
and they did a second one for some I don't know why from
higher contrast maybe. But yeah, but tour can throw this stuff
together pretty well. And it wasn't there was a couple of
things. He also did his piece of cheesecake that was kind of
cute. Very 50s looking one called Miss Claus verse xx It
was weird because it was a woman with a beard and
No, no not I'm not talking about the one with the beard. That's
that wasn't him. That was capitalist agenda. You're right.
You're right, which we did a woman with a beard and a mic

And
what else? What
was just like it was decorated, but
it was you made a you made a real pitch at a certain point
there for me see what was it? Oh, a nick pickle. You made a
pitch for Nick pick.
Yes. Nick pickle was very funny. I thought it was the funniest
piece. It was silly. And it had said Nick pickle on there. And
you and who is dude did that Nick pickle was done by Taunton?
Thompson, which would I think would have sealed the deal for
her for the best artist of 2022?
Well, I was I wasn't taking any of that into account.
I always say you always say you if you're ever a judge, you take
everything evenly with Darren O'Neill, who
I hate. That's the only that's the only brown
if you didn't hate him he had won again this year. So Nick
pickle I just thought was funny. It was a pickle with a Santa
Claus outfit on and it was a pickle. Pickle. Did I know he
that way? Adam was not going to accept that.
No, no, that wasn't working for me. What else? And it was
interesting because it was the big news of the show of the show
day that we that we didn't even talk about comics or Blogger
threw in the Trump superhero thing there. I guess he released
NF T's that was his big super announcement.
No, it was a good collecting cards wasn't a card.

really appreciate that he's
replacing another one before that it was done by Asher and

bailed their boats over overboard. We haven't ever heard

you all for your time, talent and treasure supporting the no
agenda show
our formula is this. We go out we get people in the mouth I
want to get to a couple of Biden clips because he's been able to
speak Oh, has he ever speak a little too much as a matter of
fact, in fact, I've got I've got important clips that are
informational, then I've got a bunch of him babbling away.
Okay. But let's start with let's start with the babbling away
from his African rundown where he did this, this event. And
these two are I'm not gonna give it away. But there's maybe
there's a little production involved here. So he let him
play all the way. Yes.
Which one? Do you want the internet or the rundowns?
I want to run down. Let's go this is Biden. This is just
clip. Just chop chop, chop Biden up and here's what you get.
Hello, hello. Hello.
Good to see you all. Please have a seat. And I know you're saying
to yourself, make it short. Biden. There's a there's a semi
final game coming up. I see Secretary Kerry over there
nodding Hey, John. How are you pal? I want to thank Secretary
Mundo. She is one of the brightest minds. Yes, folks, I
have worker with me and for all of you in this room for making
this form of success particularly and prosper Africa.
dealroom sounds like something you shouldn't be saying prosper.
Prosper Africa dealroom but kept asking world's where's the deal
room to great compay chill gate champions for building a growing
ties of business and all members of Congress, please stand up
here. So I know kind of identify who you are. As a man, all
right, I'm sure you're out there somewhere. Because when Africa
succeeds, the United States succeeds. Quite frankly, the
whole world succeeds as well. Contributing to every step began

Africa, don't worry, it's coming. It's coming coming to

They're throwing a lot of money at Africa. It's just obviously
the back to Chinese office not going to work. But let's do the
second one, which is maybe funnier in its entirety,
investing in Africa's people. As I said at the top of this forum,
Cisco Systems and cyber cyber bastad diaspore own small
business is jointly announced the $800 million in new
contracts to protect African countries from cyber including
providing mobile payment services. For more micro small
and medium sized businesses across Africa, General Electric
and Standard Bank $15 billion in new deals will provide $80
million to improve health care services and provide access to
cutting edge health care equipment. All together. The
Forum has spurred more than $15 billion in new deals, which will
turn lift up and improve the lives of people all across the
continent. And this is just the beginning patient today. Thank
you all may God protect our troops. Thank you very, very
much. Thanks. Okay,
so that's Biden's run down to zero.
Do you mind if I just interject with a little little clip here
for a second before you go to the next one? Because I really
liked how and you're absolutely right. I mean, all of a sudden
we have this USA for Africa with its back. And and it's Africa,
because Africa is a continent. It's not a country. And so
there's you know, I think there's a lot of countries in
Africa probably wondering, well, who's going to get the money?
Where's it really going? But the way Deutsche Avella position
this, and again, it's only about Africa, Africa, not the
individual countries, which is I think anyone in any African
country is like, Well, these guys are a holes. Listen to how
they presented this new push towards Africa.
I stand before you as the president, United States than a
proud American. I also stand before you as the son of a man
from Africa.
I thought it was from Indonesia, but okay.
The blood of Africa runs through our family. And so for us, the
bonds between our countries or continents are deeply first.
That was a former US President Barack Obama at the 2014 US
Africa summit that that was fair to say that America's relations
with the continent have been warmer, but offensive remarks
about African countries made by the former leader Donald Trump
took them to a new low.
Do you remember what the offensive comments were by
former President Donald Trump who took the relations with
America and Africa to a new low?
Well, they assumed when they were talking about shithole
countries, that it was about them exactly.
Nations with the continents have been warmer, but offensive
remarks about African countries made by the former leader Donald
Trump took them to a new low. Now US President Joe Biden has
told African leaders that his country is committed to Africa's
future, the US is looking to position itself as a reliable
trade partner, including calling for the African Union to become
a permanent member of the G 20.
shared success and opportunity. Because when Africa succeeds,
the United States succeeds quite frankly, the whole world
succeeds as well.
Yeah, there's another block for you the African block
bull crap all right. So let's let's listen to this before,
before I played it to actually serious clips. This is Biden.
Really out of it. He can barely speak. He's talking to some
veterans in Delaware, about you know, their service and he's
like, half asleep half in the bag. This is horrible. But then
he but when he's like this, this is when he comes up with made up
stories. This is the Biden bogus story and it's a generation
represented by you ray that doesn't look for accolades. You
know, I my dad when I got elected vice president, he said
Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge. She's not
faring very well now, not because the battle the bolts,
but he said, and he won the Purple Heart, and he never
received it. He never ever got it. You think he could help and
get it will surprise him. So I got to the Purple Heart. He had
won the battle of Bose and I remember he came over the house
and I came out and he said presented to him okay with the
family there. I said Uncle Frank, you won this and I want
to finish it. I don't want the damn thing. I'm serious. He
said, I don't want it. I said, Listen, man, Uncle Frankie
earned it. He said, Yeah, but the others died. The others
died. I moved. I don't want it.
Yes, this is a bogus story for many reasons.
Yeah. Well, there's two reasons. Mainly. When was Biden first
vice president? What? 2006? No. 2008 2008 He's Vice President
2008. His dad died in 2002. I know. On September so How's his
dad telling him this when he's vice president?
Joey from the grave. It's your daddy. And so
and then Uncle Joe or does other Uncle Fred whatever his name is?
He actually died in 99.
That's my bet. That's the punch line. Right? Yeah, maybe made.
And did he ever receive said Purple Heart? Or was
that a bad? Oh, no. I made it dug a hole throw in his grave? i
It's this kind of making stories up which has been a earmark of
the of Trump. Of Biden more than anybody. Yeah. Forever talking
about, you know, getting just as bad as Hillary getting shot at
like she wants claimed. Under No buddy
in Costco,
I look at all these fact checking site. I don't see
anything calling him out for any of this stuff.
Well, no, he's just sad. We're not going to do that. Oh, we're
just busy yelling at Elon Musk for deplatforming us for
suspending our accounts. This is this is the outrage, not the
lying.
So I do have two serious clips where he's actually talking
about the internet and Africa and how much money we're we're
going to spend in Africa to get them all jacked up on the
internet. Let's go Biden, Africa, internet,
digital transformation with Africa, working with Congress to
invest $350 billion to facilitate more than almost a
half a billion dollars in financing to make sure people
across Africa can participate in a digital economy.
I have something I got info on this. I'm waiting. Did you look
at Did you hear what he said? Yes. $350 billion. So people in
Africa can notice
a facilitate? Yes. To loaning 50 What is it? The voice of the 7x
amount? It takes a 10 bucks to sell somebody? I think for $1
What What kind of business man is this?
Are you trying to tell me you you thought the US government
was ever prudent at spending money?
I am remiss, okay, I have part two of this clip you want to
play before we play
I do gotta close partnerships like no collaboration between
Microsoft and visa to bring in Internet access to 5 million
Africans part of Microsoft's commitment to bring access to
100 million people across Africa by the end of year 2025. That
means that means programs to train African entrepreneurs with
a focus on women entrepreneurs to code and build skills that
need to start their own businesses to secure good paying
jobs and technology with technology firms. And this will
include partnerships between African American African
American companies to provide cybersecurity services to make
sure Africa's digital environment is reliable and
secure.
Alright, so I had the same clip with the second part with the
partnerships that Microsoft partnerships and I think that's
interesting because I went to look up the visa partnership or
as he said, Visa, whatever he said I
think he's thought I think that what he said was not visa he
was he said visa because visa is in this deal.
Okay, well, it sounds like he said visa or something. Or some
African country now he
can't reach some African guys a turnip. Okay, he's a turnip visa
will invest in Africa's digital transformation, and has pledged
to invest $1 billion in Africa to accelerate the digital
transformation. And this announcement was made during the
US Africa Isn't this forum in Washington on Wednesday,
December 14, visa will use the money to scale operations,
deploy new technologies and deepen collaboration with its
partners in the next five years. Those include merchants,
governments, financial institutions, fintechs and
mobile network operators what this is, and this is what I
believe is happening with this push towards Africa. They want
to get everybody on our payment system. We don't want them on
any French thing and European thing. Certainly not any Chinese
thing, any any central bank digital currency, if it's going
to be one, it's gonna be ours. And they're already getting
ready and pushing countries like Nigeria in that direction.
Because you know, cash as we learned on the last episode of
the no agenda show is criminal
for 12 years. Nandu Kumar has grown his business by mostly
trading with large volumes of cash. But under a new central
bank directive starting January the ninth, individuals can only
withdraw 100,000, naira or $225 Every week, while companies are
allowed to withdraw just over $1,000 weekly. The policy is to
rein in on excess cash in circulation, curb inflation,
prevent counterfeiting, and discourage for payment of
ransoms to kidnappers who demand cash.
The kidnapping, of course, is key. But I also like that, hey,
we just got to pull some money out of circulation, we got crazy
inflation. And if you go back to this visa announcement, as well
as acting as a partner to banks that issue credit and debit
cards, Visa has African operations require it to work
alongside the continents mobile money and alternative payment
fintechs which use solutions, including mobile wallets and
virtual cards to bring digital payments to unbanked
populations. This is the language of the central bank
digital currency. And it would make total sense for the US to
roll out a digital dollar in Africa first aid would be
genius. Let's see how it works on those guys. Just like with
vaccines, everything we'd have tried out on them first. Yeah,
I think it's smart move.
Now it is it's a genius move and they're bringing in the bringing
in visa to help them MasterCard is already all in with the World
Economic Forum. So they're already doing their version of
whatever. So it's beautiful. It's gonna be very, very
interesting.
So well on the topic of bashing Biden let's go to the PBS
NewsHour we have this Brooks. You know, the nervous to still
seems to be like a nervous wreck when he talks to is it really a
nervous wreck? And this K part guy who is now
a new partner because Brooks killed the old guy.
The old guy died of old age and are the VAX and K part is they
out gay, proud gay. Now associate editor of the
Washington Post, he's moved up actually, to the point where
he's got some power. Oh, and he is such a bigoted gay guy. He is
a bigot. He's a bigoted, gay guy. He hates everything it says
it's, uh, you know, writ all over Democrat. He loves Joe
Biden. He's
big ated.
So let's do our brigaded guy. Let's listen to the part one of
these three clips
and Jonathan, I'm going to eat first. We just talked about the
the January 6. Committee on Monday the wide reports tonight
that they are going to recommend criminal referrals to the
Justice Department against former President Trump's serious
charges. What what's your reaction? What do you make of
it?
Well, my my initial reaction is good.
What kind of journalist editor of any newspaper would say good
make this kind of good. He's getting arrested good nerves.
This is a bigot. He should not be considered a journalist by
any means, let alone edit the Washington Post
t should be doing a show with Kara Swisher.
Okay, part two here.
blow to the committee. Jonathan, if justice doesn't go ahead and,
and, and make charges based on these referrals?
I don't think it'd be a blow to the committee. But if the
Justice Department doesn't take action, with all of the evidence
that the committee has presented to the American people, not to
mention the evidence to the Justice Department on its own,
possibly collected in its various investigations into what
happened on January 6. That would be more disappointing. I
think the committee's served its purpose. It investigated it
interview With more than 1000 witnesses, it put on compelling
hearings for the American people in ways that the American people
could listen, digest, understand and learn about how close their
government came to teetering at the instigation of the former
president.
Do we know the actual charge that they're talking about?
Yeah, they're gonna dig out three charges they're going to
they're thinking of doing but let's review what he just said,
Okay. Despite the fact that, that the President sent a memo
to Pelosi to fill up the place with cops, so they don't do what
happened on January 6, and she ignored it and never testified
about it. He knows that. And besides the fact that he said
peaceful Trump himself said peaceful and he said, but people
that are going to go to the Capitol, and that he wanted to
go to at some point, and besides the fact that these 1000
witnesses, most of them if they weren't amenable to, to trashing
Trump, were testimonies behind closed doors. He knows all that
but yet he's going on and on about how there's if there's no
indictment there, they're nuts. Now, on the other hand, we now
switch topics on the with these two and this time Brooks chimes
in because he's, this is no, this is the PBS NewsHour has
become a laughingstock, as far as I'm concerned in terms of its
where they have and who are they going to have replacing Judy?
The woman there's a multicoated girl Oh, that's right. She she
she's she's gonna get the she anchor the anchor, is she? I
think so. But she's really she's you don't have the gravitas in
her voice to do it? Well, he does have a
you have to you have to inhale like that while
he does a lot. So and by the way, I cut most of those out and
when I do clips with her because she's always breathing in
partially, but let's listen to this. This is this is two
Democrat mavens going on and on about Great Old Joe. He's
probably the best president we've ever had. And they both
agree with each other. As usual. I agree with you. I agree with
you. And listen to this pathetic excuse for analysis
poll that the NewsHour did collaborating with NPR and
Marist. Asking people not only about President Biden's approval
riches up a little bit 43%. But they were but they were in each
party Democrats were asked about whether they think Joe Biden
should be the nominee and in 2024, Republicans were asked the
same question about former President Trump and Biden 35% of
Democrats think he should be the nominee for Trump 45%. What does
that tell us?
It says for President Biden, the fact that 35% of Democrats want
him to run for reelection doesn't tell me a whole lot
because Democrats have been wringing their hands about
President Biden, since the man took the oath of office. And I
just would like for all of them to chill out. He's just two
years hence the first term, let the man do his job. And when he
does his job, as we have seen over this last year alone, the
dude gets stuff done. So stop the hand wringing, let him do
his job, and let them decide whether he's going to run for
reelection, which I think he will.
Democratic voters could be a big pain in the rear ends. I mean,
the guy who has passed a lot of legislation is masterfully
orchestrated a war and the Ukrainian effort against Russia.
He's just more or less won the midterms. What more do you want?
So he's, he's older than some people. But you know, he's had a
successful presidency as far as I can tell him and this is not
just about Joe Biden and Joe Biden's age. This is something
in the DNA of the Democratic Party. I've never really
understood why they can't be loyal to a guy's like their guy.
That's so pathetic.
It really is. And he orchestrated a great wars that
would Yeah. straighted a great or good word, just an everyday
or
a good one. A great war, just like the last great war. Well, I
have some ABC responses to this. John Karl on deck telling us a
little bit about this January 6 committee and what's going on
after more than a year of closed door investigations and dramatic
public hearings dramatic. ABC News has learned the January 6
committee plans to recommend criminal charges for former
President Donald Trump. Sources familiar with the committee's
deliberations say the recommended charges will include
conspiracy to defraud the United States and obstruction of an
official proceeding. The committee is also considering
recommending Trump be charged with its direction. Over the
course of 10 public hearings, the committee has methodically
made the case, Donald Trump was singularly responsible for the
attack on the Capitol. Not just that day,
gotta walk down to the Capitol because you'll never take back
our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you
have to be strong.
Wow. I don't think that sentence was actually strung together
that way, the way they just put this in the report sounds a
little fake, dishonest
during the weeks and months after the election leading up to
January 6,
President Trump summoned the mob, assembled the mob and lit
the flame of this attack.
The committee's criminal referral comes as it is
preparing to release its final report next week.
Oh, it's the final report that we gotta wait for, oh, next
week, just before Christmas. So no one actually reads it. Is
that is that the idea? I don't know.
Let's ask why they wait. Well, next week would be after
Christmas.
Let's ask Jess are talking about
next week being starting tomorrow?
I think tomorrow. I think it started tomorrow. Let's ask John
Karl, what are the contract? What what does this what does
this mean for Trump?
So let's get right to John Carl tonight with this late news. And
John bottom line. What does this mean for the former president
that these would be criminal referrals as we know this
decision is still up to the DOJ here.
David, the bottom line is that it is entirely up to the
Department of Justice, whether to pursue criminal charges
against Donald Trump and with or without these criminal referrals
from the January 6 committee, the Department of Justice
already has multiple investigations into Donald Trump
now overseen by Special Counsel Jack Smith, those investigations
include charges related to January 6, but also related to
his handling of government documents after he left office.
But as you said, the bottom line here is this is entirely up to
the Department of Justice whether or not to see criminal
indictments of Donald Trump.
Now, what I don't understand is that the Special Counsel Jack
Smith has subpoenaed officials in all seven states that Trump
accused of, of playing funny business.
So I thinking is if you're a Democrat, the thinking is he's
doing that for the purposes of finding evidence that Trump
called him up and threatened
him. Okay, well, maybe he can. I mean, what do you think? Do they
think Do you think they will have the balls to go through
this and I mean, forget how they do it, but the idea is, whatever
they do to Trump it so that he can legally not run for
president but that's what, that's what they want. That's
the goal. How do you think that's gonna go over in America?
Not Well, no,
I think it's gonna go over very poorly. And who is is, is
Merrick Garland really going to pull that trigger? Do you think
he'd really he
is a weenie looking guy when you see him every time he just looks
so much like Don Knotts, you know, shaking in his boots,
because you've got that one bullet in his pocket? Yeah. And
when he loads the gun with the bullet remains to be seen, but
he's getting a lot of pressure to do something. And if they
does, it will change American politics forever because now
every president will go let go after be like South America,
where a guy's know the guy's a president for six years. And
next thing you know, he's in jail. Next guy comes in he's
been arrested after he gets voted out. And yeah, I mean, it
came close to that sort of a system and it would Berlusconi,
but it hasn't really happened is also the same thing with in
France with supposedly they will start cozy, whatever his name
was the previous previous prime president was supposedly gonna
get indicted, never dead. It's just a lot of it's not good.
It's unhealthy. And it is trumped up. We've watched this
whole thing. These charges are bulk bogus.
Yeah. So there's something else that's happening with the
American news, which is I think it's surprising. Well, maybe
not. We the borders of the United States, certainly Texas
and the southern border, as it's called a pretty much open anyone
can come in, and just It's overwhelming, everyone's let
through. But there's this title 42, which Trump put into place,
which allowed border enforcement to actually kick people out of
the country, and that's expiring, I think at the end of
the year, which means they will the border authority will not
have the authority to send people back, and it seems like
the left wing media which is what most media is m five M.
They're a little disturbed by it. And they're reporting from
the border now. Here's Martha Raddatz tonight. This is the
scene that the US they sent Martha Raddatz to the border. So
this is serious reporting they're doing now,
tonight. This is the scene that the US Mexico border. Dozens of
migrants lining this fence to be processed off from Cuba. along
the Rio Grande. You can see their wet clothes shoes signs of
their arduous journey. But despite miles of fences, miles
of border and the National Guard along this border, you can just
look right there drive down. There's the river. That's Mexico
just on the other side. By some estimates, hundreds, maybe 1000s
of migrants are waiting in shelters like this one in Ciudad
Juarez for the exploration of title 42 the Trump era policy
that allows the expulsion of migrants without letting them
seek asylum. Are Matt Rivers met Carlos in Ciudad Juarez? He was
sent back to Mexico after crossing into El Paso earlier
this week. He hit
on I put them in a bus and they didn't say anything. They
brought them to the bridge and he crossed back over here.
He is one of the 2500 migrants crossing into El Paso every day,
Mexico just over the river. We surveyed the border with Texas
Governor Greg Abbott. He tells me they're bracing for a surge.
What do you think happens next week when title 42 comes to an
end?
If the courts don't intervene and put a halt to the removal of
title 42 It's gonna be total chaos.
DHS has predicted as many as 18,000 people could cross the
border every day. If title 42 expires next week.
This is gonna be kind of interesting.
Yeah, this is a good degrade Joe Biden. This is one of his great
things that these two jokers on PBS are talking about. So at ABH
elations
at ABC News, they have a new a new theme, just as we heard John
Carl being asked So bottom line it for us. This seems to be the
new thing at ABC News bottom line. So
let's bring in Martha Raddatz live in Texas for us tonight and
Martha bottom line here for people who are really
why why are they doing this? What is this bottom line thing
all of a sudden
just gets replaced at the end of the day. Oh, okay,
let's bring in Martha Raddatz live in Texas for us tonight.
And Martha bottom line here for people who are really following
this issue title 42. A set to expire next week, the White
House Congress will be pressed on how they plan to handle this.
Exactly. David 19 GOP states have appealed. So this is before
a judge but as of right now, title 42 will be lifted on
Wednesday. And there could be a massive wave of migrants but the
Biden administration says they are preparing for that. And
Congress could provide emergency funding. David says big
issue. Martha Raddatz Martha. Thank you, Martha. We'll have
much more live from the border, including her interview with the
Texas governor. This week. Of course. That's Sunday morning
right here, Martha. Thank you.
So emergency funding, so just we don't want to fix the problem.
Just send more money.
Yeah. Ah, goodness. Exactly.
This so bad. All right. I this was a great story. If you ever
been to Berlin, you've probably seen it. I don't know if you've
ever been to this particular part of Berlin but this is
fantastic.
Sub freezing temperatures are suspected of causing a five
storey high aquarium to burst today at a hotel in Berlin,
Germany. People thought a bomb went off when the glass exploded
more than 200,000 gallons of water and 1500 tropical fish are
washed into the street and two people were injured.
Now do you know how this story played out in Europe?
Well, first of all, I want to tell everyone that if you get a
shot at it, go look this up so you can see this thing. This was
a massive aquarium that was in the middle of a hotel. Astrium
atrium that looks like it's about six storeys high, and it
was just right. It was huge. It was monstrous. It's
unbelievable. It was even manufactured. Anyway, not take
it from there. Sorry.
So in Europe, the story played out that this is the fault of
Putin, of course. And I will explain Oh, yes, yes, it is
because of the Putin dirty, nasty oil and gas that he has
cut off. As you know, all everyone has been asked to cut
back on gas. And because the hotel had lowered their
temperature, because of Putin's war, his illegal war. That's
what caused the differential in temperature for Hate to crack.
So indirectly, another one for Putin. Wow. Right.
I think he blame everything on that guy.
Well, why not? It's pretty good.
I like it. It's very good. I
really I like it too. I like it too. Let me see a little update
from the EU on the corruption case. This is Eva Kylie, who I
as as we said we heard the partner thing being played up.
And well turns out she may not be culpable.
And in the latest development in the corruption scandal involving
member of European Parliament, Eva Kelly, her Italian partner
has reportedly confessed his role in the Qatar graft scandal.
According to a report by news agency, Reuters Francesco
Georgie has confessed to taking bribes from Qatar to influence
the European Parliament decisions on Qatar. This has
reportedly made a significant contribution to the probe
underway by Belgian investigating magistrates,
Georgie worked as an assistant to an Italian Member of the
European Parliament reports that Georgie has told investigators
that Kaylee was not involved in the corruption scandal. Kaley,
who was sacked from her role as Vice President of the European
Parliament has denied any role in the alleged bribery, while
Qatar has also denied any involvement in the corruption
case. Earlier Kaylee's lawyer had suggested that Georgie might
have answers about the existence the scatch found that home a
series of searches of the homes and offices of politicians,
lobbyists and parliamentary assistants turned up around 1.6
million US dollars in cash. Kaylee, her partner as well as x
and NPR, Antonio Banbury, and lobbyists, Niccolo figured out a
mantra are all charged with corruption, money laundering and
organized crime. On Thursday, the European Parliament
suspended all work on legislation linked to Qatar and
Parliament's president told the European Union leaders she would
lead reforms to prevent a repeat of a criminal corruption
scandal.
Of course, we have to go to India to get these this kind of
reporting W IO N I guess she's because she's not guilty but it
seems like it the money went from 600,000 euros to $1.6
million this this is not adding up here. And I given us the full
story now
this you know, we're not getting this story at all. No,
obviously. No. Well, here's an interesting little side bit
here. Looks like I don't want to play this up too much because
you don't know is PVS store in Starbucks going on strike.
Starbucks workers kicked off a three day walk out today, as
they tried to unionize the coffee chain. Organizers
estimated more than 1000 says at 100 stores were taking part no
good paying union jobs. It is the latest in a series of labor
actions. There have been votes to unionize it more than 260 of
Starbucks 9000 company run stores in the US.
Well, if you're going to play that, then I need to play this.
This is from a YouTuber. So it's just about a minute. This
YouTubers name is Patrick Humphrey, and he works in
shipping in shipping and particularly the trains. And
this is a little piece of information. He started his his
YouTube video with a
massive railroad embargo has just started. This has started
with Union Pacific Railway. They have implemented this embargo.
And they are telling producers and shippers to take off
hundreds and hundreds of their carts individually. All right,
individual shippers are being told to take off hundreds of
their cards. And they're being told that shipping limits and
shipping embargoes are being put in place. Right. So this is very
serious. This is a another threat to our Railway. This is
just like the strikes we saw last month earlier this month,
we are seeing these strikes. Thankfully they were averted.
Right. But we are still seeing repercussions and reactions to
it. And it's almost is this intentional is this on purpose
because the rate at which Union Pacific is shutting down. And
putting these embargoes in place is extreme. It's almost 10x
compared to what they normally do. Right. And this has been
happening this year. And it's just almost makes you wonder if
they're trying to shut down the railways on purpose.
I mean, I don't have much else I'll just call it a boots on the
ground report.
Well, I only have one thing to say about that is it kind of
explains what I saw a couple of days ago and I don't know if
it's been going on every day because they only catch it when
I look out the window and look down it down the hill where the
tracks are Union Pacific BNSF is with BNSF but they're was a
normally there's like a 100 to 200 car train goes by twice a
day usually filled with containers from China that
they're bringing into the into the into the hinterlands and
there was nothing but empty is empty carriers there was just
like infinite number of empty carriers are NO NO
NO NO NO carts on it at all just
no carriers whatsoever. So we have empty holders that like to
think that you put that you drop a container and then you drop
another container on it and off it goes. Now these are all
empties, which I've never seen so many heading out of the
border Oakland empty
well there you have it. We have confirmation corroboration.
Oh my god
I'm gonna show my spoon but Jonah did no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fun

That's pretty funny. Actually. I do have a report that is
incredibly important before we leave for people in Australia,
but also, I would like to ask the Costco management. I didn't
know that Costco was in Australia. Did you know that
Costco was in Australia. They're everywhere. I didn't know that.
I didn't know they were in Australia specifically. And when
you're done with this, I have one less slip then because I
have a New Zealand report.
Okay. Costco, staff and management of Costco. When can
we get this lettuce? I mean, spinach at Costco
today in Auburn pallets of spinach shut away with warning
signs. After customers were poisoned. They're unable to see
properly they're confused. They're having hallucinations
and we're talking about scary hallucinations. That's nothing
that's fun. At least two dozen cases confirmed so far hospitals
seeing multiple members of different families some needing
intensive care it has caused quite severe illness in some of
those young children. The link eating Riviera farms brand baby
spinach bought from Costco likely contaminated by a toxic
weed in the growing paddock at Riviera farms in Victoria. The
spinach then distributed to nine Costco stores in New South
Wales, Victoria and the AC T. Costco says it knows around a
couple of 1000 of its customer members have bought the Spanish
that could be affected in New South Wales, the ICT and
Victoria saying it's emailed most of them and today was
calling the rest please please please do not use it. Throw it
away, destroy it. Come to Costco and we'll refund your money
review AeroFarms tonight ordering a recall of its baby
spinach with expiry dates up to December 28. Waiting for
laboratory tests to confirm the weed involved. It's not the sort
of poison that people would normally die from but as well as
hallucinations, blurred vision. Other symptoms to watch for
include rapid heartbeat, flushed face and fever.
What is this weed? And where can I get my head? Want to know
where can I get my hands on some
doing testing to confirm that we at least tell us what didn't
What is this? What's the genus or something about this weed? I
mean, it's it's it's Hulu sounds like something that'd be
commercially available at the pot shop.
Yeah, well, or I mean, I don't know maybe it was some MDMA that
they that I mean, they're saying a weed but I don't think when we
read this, oh, they said weed but please. You got rapid
heartbeat and your and your
hallucinations. hallucinogens really wild. This
is good. Well, we want to know more. Costco. This is a it's one
of those Easter eggs they've got just like the wind. I got an
Easter egg spinach box. This is the one you want people see if
you can get that one. Dynamite.
Just the opposite is this New Zealand report where they're
banning. Well play this and you'll see.
New Zealand has just banned the next generation from purchasing
tobacco products ever. The country passed a package of new
anti smoking laws yesterday. The suite of new laws is among the
strictest in the world. It includes prohibiting sales of
tobacco to anyone born on or after January 1 2009. That's
punishable by fines of nearly 100,000 US dollars. The
legislation also reduces the amount of nicotine allowed in
smoked tobacco products, and it cuts the number of retailers
able to sell tobacco by 90% it will drop from 6000 to 600 by
the end of 2023. New Zealand already boasts low adult smoking
rates but the government hopes to make the country's smoke free
by 2025.
Now I think we heard about this and I wonder if this is you know
to still usher in the the eye cos or anything like that. No,
no, but you know really they should just give people the
option of smoking but
they didn't somebody never gave him part two of the scam so the
eye cos is out of the picture there's no smoking whatsoever in
New Zealand after a certain year.
Man Hey people over there in Australia you should do you
