Oh, I'm so offended the grades a lizard,
Adam curry, John C. Devorah.
It's Thursday January 5 2023. This is your award winning get
my nation media assassination episode 1580 This is no agenda,
writing the atmospheric river and broadcasting live from the
heart of the Texas Hill Country here and FEMA Region number six
in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam curry
and from Northern California where it rained in a tree fell
over. I'm John C. Dvorak.
You're not even in northern Silicon Valley anymore. You're
in California, all of a sudden you chainsaw
is raining, it's raining, a tree fell over. And a rock man you
wind down a mountain and hit the road. you're witnessing
some climate change there. I understand some big climate
change, baby,
you know, it hasn't rained for three years. And so now it's
like a tree falls over. Which is okay. G big news. Send every
crew and every network and local station over there and have a
picture of the tree that fell over
now wait a minute, just so everyone understands. There was
some horrible predictions you even did the newsletter early
had everything good to go because they were telling you
that it was all over life as you know it. You're just going to
die. Am I correct? Yeah, pretty much. Do you have any clips of
this of these warnings and dire warnings.
Now, it was it's dumb. They it's a rainstorm. It happens so what
Yeah, Gurney Guerneville is going to flood maybe it hasn't
flooded yet. So that's kind of behind schedule. Seems to me.
The Napa river is filling up. It's going to overflow. No,
that's happened before. I mean, it's there's nothing at all
these. These
local or manga heads just fear mongering? It's not what it is a
lot of
naivete. Oh, big word.
Yeah. For the kids. Big word.
They do fear mongering anyway. But there's a lot of naivety. So
it's like it's not an unusual storm at all in any way. I did
let alone the greatest storm I've ever seen coming in, which
was some of these guises said
now what I read in The Washington Post, which of course
Whopper WaPo, bomb, Cyclone swinging high impact atmospheric
river into California. That's what I read. Yeah, I know. We
got booted them round. And it's it's a big fight at
the moment. I'm sitting here looking out the window. It's not
raining at all. Yeah. Well,
that's very disappointing. I wanted your power to go out. I
want you to have horrible just a horrible experience. Just
I'm sure that's exactly what you wanted. For the show just for
the show. For the show, maybe I could be outside we can have
their sound effects and we can be yelling at you.
I'm telling you AP, that's Associated Press evacuations
ordered as California storm knocks knocks knocks out power.
That was that's today.
Yeah. Well, sometimes sheer power goes out. It happens all
the time in California, when there's when there's a storm or
not. Storm or not just happening. And evacuation is
very dubious.
There's a lot of climate change in the news. And I don't know if
you saw 60 minutes. This was mind boggling to me. Now we know
that climate change going back to the 70s when it was not
climate change, it was global cooling. We're both old enough
to remember. I love watching Dr. Spock, tell us about it. And of
course that change over time, became the Spock. Mr. Spock,
that became global warming. And that became a little irritating
because it wasn't quite warming the way Al Gore predicted that
it was climate change. We have climate catastrophe climate
disaster. And and now 60 minutes brings back the whole crew input
year will the human population grow too large for the Earth to
sustain? Answer is about 1970. According to research by the
World Wildlife Fund. In 1970, the planet's three and a half
billion people were sustainable. But on this New Year's Day, the
population is 8 billion. Today, wild plants and animals are
running out of places. They're running at artist you're about
to meet say the earth is suffering a crisis of mass
extinction on a scale unseen since the dinosaurs. We're going
to show you a possible solution. But first, have a look at how
humanity is already suffering from the vanishing wild. It has
to be seen. It's the same jokes. They're still alive. Ehrlich The
Population Bomb jokes, they're all still around.
And Ehrlich is an embarrassment to humanity.
He He's out on Twitter saying a lot of my research is peer
reviewed. It has been since the 70s.
Ah, I also did he did does he talk about I actually saw this,
but I'll ask them if
I don't I don't have any clips. So you can ask the rhetorical
question to answer it. You're
talking about the black bomb. Did he do a race bomb book that
he wrote after he wrote the the population explosion book? No, I
don't do it a racist book after that.
Oh, we never discussed that. No, we never talked about that.
It's called the race bomb. If you look at his bio
bibliography, there's a bunch of books that came out in the race
bomb, I think was one of them. I have a copy. So that
was that two was actively tried to try to kill some people with
the race bombs, skin color, prejudice and intelligence. Oh,
was this a eugenics type? Did he?
I actually don't remember it. I mean, I remember that book. And
I have a copy. And I looked at it a few years ago, but I can't
remember what the thesis is. But I think he's got some, some very
dubious propositions in there. very dubious. But that's never
discussed. Nor is this half a dozen of his other crackpot
books.
No. Instead, we get headlines from ProPublica climate change
will force a new American migration which I guess means
everyone's leaving California stay away. Stay away. August
besieged California with heat unseen in generations Johnson
work is that I'm reading the opening of this article. I wrote
it. No, of course not. This is from who wrote this. Well, this
is ProPublica. It's freezing out. August this August besieged
California with a heat unseen in generations. Now I don't think
you ever see heat it in general. A surge and air conditioning
broke the state's electrical grid
must have power outages, again, leaving a
population already ravaged by the Coronavirus to work remotely
by the dim light of their cell phones. Did you witness any of
this? You live there? No.
It'd be writing novels.
There is some I have something came across my desk, multiple
ads to go and take a look at this particular item that if you
buy it, excuse me, the government even States
governments will give you rebates. And I think what what
the new, the new new is to combat climate change is heat
pumps. They're really pushing this was set up in the inflation
Reduction Act. There's a whole bunch of courses, you know, that
was a lot of money over was it over a trillion dollars or or
just shy of a trillion dollars. There's a bunch of incentives in
there for people to get rid of your your ugly, dirty propane or
natural gas burning heating units, and by heat pumps. And a
heat pump is basically an electric heater the way I see
it, is there some other technology in there that is that
is special about the heat pump. Although other than that they
can turn off your electricity and you can freeze
I believe is like a heat pump is uses compression or something?
It runs on electricity. It needs electricity to run Yeah, it
doesn't run on solar.
Mind if you get one of those nifty. It doesn't run work,
doesn't it? I wanted to mention that I was looking at I was
weeding out my domain names. Just because holy crap, I got a
lot of them. And I came across Windows a domain that we not
only registered in 2014, but set up a hope actually, I guess I
stopped maintaining it on February 17 2014. That's the
last time I did anything about it. The 2030 club.com And you
know, and we were predicting then in 2014 that everyone's
talking about 2050 Is it not 2030 was going to be the year
and that's all we hear now is 2030
Yeah. And he said 2027 stuff.
The world is 2027 stuff. Yeah, yeah.
That's mostly geopolitical. It's not about climate.
Well, there's also 2025
Norway is now aiming to end the sale of petrol cars by 2025 I
mean key fellow, you know, we've talked about I think the ICT
wants to get rid of them by
2035 You're gonna hear the Australian Member of Parliament
keeps pitch
I've and there's a few other European nations going down a
similar road 2025 is two years away? How on earth do they think
they're going to do this?
And think of all those people who own cars who have got loans.
So now we'll have something that's completely valueless. And
not only that, I mean, if you want an Eevee by one, if it
suits your lifestyle and you can afford it and it works for you
knock yourself out. But this idea that the government will
tell you what sort of car you will drive in Norway or any
other country or in Australia, don't forget in this country
that now the Labour government is now going to tell you what
sort of stove you can have. It's going to be electric. You can't
have a gas one from those people who are out there cooking with
gas. I want you to be employed by the public service. It's just
quite incredible. This is a country where we are free to
make our own choices
ignore Norway is cold like really cold in the winter. Am I
correct? Is cold up
there as a coal is a dirty country? How will
people want their cars perform it like 50%? Their battery cars,
they
haven't discussed this. Be quiet. Keep people home
in Australia. By the
way, that little line he had at the end I thought was funny. He
says cuz he's talking about the rundown. Everything's got to
happen to a certain way everybody's job will be working
for at the public for the government.
Oh, yeah, there's evidence of this. I mean, at least in their
minds, Australia, though the heat is I mean, it's killing
people. It really
is wildly fluctuating weather
could be putting Victorians at greater risk of cancer or other
illnesses. A Monash University study has looked at the long
term impact of the city's famous four seasons in one day
with surprising results.
Four seasons in one day. Oh, yeah, I'm surprised we're not
dead in Texas,
from Summer Snow to searing heat days later. Melbourne is
notorious for having one of the most temperamental climates in
the world over the past couple of days and weeks have certainly
lived up to that reputation. But according to a new study how
wild weather could be taking a serious toll on our health
our study. So the first if you look at the temperature
fluctuation and the t expression, firstly, Australia
and a frosty in the world,
researchers from Monash University collected blood
samples from 479 people exposed to fluctuating temperatures each
day for a week, they found significant changes to genes
linked to diseases like breast and colorectal cancer,
schizophrenia, depression and bipolar. The findings are
significant, but it's still early days, researchers have
only tested females so far. They hope to assess men and pregnant
women exposed to the same conditions in the near future.
Okay, got a crock? You know, that clip is so off the wall? I
would I was almost gonna give you something, you know, a
little commendation, which I won't even mention because you
played at the drop of a hat. But it's so ludicrous. Where would
that come from? Where are you getting these?
That's channel seven, Australia. Those guys are great. I love
them. Now we were talking about Ken Ehrlich. I think I sent you
this for possible use in the in the hall or like I believe, Paul
Ehrlich. I'm to Ken Erlich is a director Paul Ehrlich. Yes. I
thought for possible newsletter use. So it's all these scanned
articles. 1975 Paul Ehrlich said the time of famines is upon us
and will be at its worst and most disasters by 1975. We're
going to die.
Yeah, this was his book came out in 68. And he was making these
short term predictions. And I can't imagine why anyone would
do that. Because he kind of screws you over it. Don't you
think? If you're like making a getting doing a best selling
book, it sells a few million copies. And you predict
something seven years off how Java then when it comes to the
reprint rights and all the rest. At in seven years, none of these
things came true that he predicted including pretty much
the end of the world the year
2004. You continue? Let me let me just read a couple more
headlines. New York Times Sunday, August 10 1969. The
trouble with almost all environmental problems, says
Paul R. Ehrlich, the population biologist, is that by the time
we have enough evidence to convince people you're dead. We
must realize that unless we are extremely lucky, everybody will
disappear in a cloud of blue steam and 20 years. A cloud of
blue steam in 20 years
in 1988 In other words, every year yeah. Boston Globe steam.
What is that all of it some aliens gonna come down and
vaporize every
Project Blue Beam he got it wrong is a project Bluestein
Boston Globe scientists predicts a new ice age by the 21st
century. Air pollution may obliterate the sun and cause a
new ice age in the first third of The next century is this
April 16 1970. Boston Globe. The demands for cooling water will
boil dry the entire flow of the rivers and streams of
continental United States. These are great.
This is astonishing.
Here October 6 1970 Paul Ehrlich again, and it does need saying
Ehrlich predicts that the oceans will be as dead as Lake Erie in
less than a decade. How the month flat, flat, flat, tell
them what flat? Are they dead?
They're wetter now because it's raining, America will be
subject to water rationing by 1974. And food rationing by
1980. Well, he's partially right, because what they did is
they just stopped making food and just put chemicals in, in in
bite sizes. So it kind of right there. It's really this whole
page, which is in the show notes. It has a must have 50
Maybe 100 of these articles. space satellites show new ice
age coming fast due to January 29 1974. This is a good good
little ditty here. Time. Time Magazine, June 24 1974, another
ice age. Ah, we got receipts people, we got receipts right
here.
And by the way, you know, the problem is is that thanks to the
internet and the fact that things never go away. This shows
you how bad the media has been. It's not just in the last few
years.
Oh, no, no, it's continued. Of course, of course, it goes back
into the 60s. But the media is powerful. It has powerful, its
powerful Mojo. Instead, here's what we argue about today.
Italy, you might have heard about this. Apparently, there's
a people are up in arms. As a Nobel Prize winning physicist,
Italian physicist, came out and said, I am going to show you how
to cook pasta perfectly, that will save energy and thus reduce
climate change. And his idea is, and now he's the 2021 Nobel
Prize winner for physics, or as Korean jumpier Abdul VanDamme
would say Nobel. And he says, for the discovery of the ODA, he
was he he won the prize for the discovery of interplay of
disorder and fluctuations in physical systems for atomic to
planetary scales, which sounds like a bunch of crap to me. But
okay, he suggested, he suggested Turning off the heat midway
through cooking pasta, then covering with the lid and
waiting for the residual heat in the water to finish the job can
help reduce the cost of cooking pasta, and therefore also create
less climate change because you're not using that much heat.
Now you are quite the the cook. Does this sound good to you?
It says sounds very, I mean, it's very sensible in many
instances to always do cook by turning off the heat and closing
the lip sealing the product as it's being cooked. It's nothing
not a new idea by any means. But it isn't necessarily going to
save the planet by doing this instead of just boiling the
water until a pasta is done and then turning it off. And
no, no, no, no. What he's saying is you cook it until it's
halfway cooked.
That's how typically how you cook things that it is not an
unusual methodology to cook things by cooking him halfway
through and sealing it and letting the as the desert
temperatures cool down and continue to cook his tastes
continue to cook you take a steak off the barbecue and you
put it on Let it sit for a few minutes is still cooking.
Well Michelle Michelin starred chef and Tonello Kelowna Key
says, nah, this will make the pasta rubbery and it could never
be served in my quality restaurant. I thought you would
know this.
I don't think that I don't know that. That's a known fact. I
mean, it's like Mimi's got a bunch of anecdotes about eggs
that people don't want to listen to
hey by the way what is the URL of that egg book?
Too many eggs.com to get a free copy yeah download value for
value add a free copy this is giving it away value value
people 750 page book for free I'm gonna plug it no but for
example whenever things she goes on and on about don't salt eggs
before the cooked it makes them tough. And you know Matt No
matter how many times you tell somebody that they'll they won't
stop assaulting assaulting the water. No, I'm talking about
like you're say you're frying an egg and you're assaulted. You
put it in there you get the egg and there's cooking in you put
some salt on it right away or a lot of things so scrambled eggs
just salting things eggs before they're cooked is bad idea. And
so that's so weathered the past against robbery I am not I've
never heard that but I'll take his word for it
yeah I got one more here AlJazeera which is doing some
good stuff again AlJazeera about Germany because you know
Germany's I think actually that go listen to this clip but I
have a feeling that the United States certainly probably in
cahoots with well the rest a big pop maybe with with Queen Ursula
herself are really trying to screw Germany they they want
Germany as completely helpless and they certainly don't want
Germany getting any ideas about you know connecting to their
neighbor, Russia. And you know, I think that's why they probably
blew up blew up those pipelines, but they're just making it
they're just Germany's in trouble.
2022 was the When coal was king at one point it was providing
more than a third of all Germany's energy. With the war
in Ukraine taking Russian hydrocarbons off the market,
coal from elsewhere became the easiest go to energy source,
power stations were reactivated to burn it. liquefied natural
gas or LNG was another watchword new terminals were built on the
North Sea coast to accommodate super tankers carrying it and a
long term deal to acquire 2 million tons of category LNG
each year was signed. But in the short term, analysts say
ministers will have to adapt their green agenda,
they will do more of what they have done already foster
additional energy supplies, make sure they can come in also
through German LNG terminals, and a huge step forward will be
to reduce demand further, a lot needs to be done in households
still, because buildings need to be need to be insulated. heating
systems need to be changed. You can't do all of this in 2023.
But it needs to start now.
The other metaphorical elephant in the room is nuclear three
reactors, which were due to go off stream permanently have been
temporarily kept in operation. This provides around 6% of the
energy Germany uses annually. But that's as far as the Green
Party in government is prepared to go.
Anti nuclear sentiment is so entrenched in Germany in large
parts of the population that it's going to be relatively hard
to, to really, especially for the greens, if they want to keep
their credibility to go on to prolong nuclear power
indefinitely. Maybe for a few more months, maybe for a year.
But I don't think in the long run in Germany, nuclear power
will have any future.
Well, because the greenies want to keep their credibility. Yeah,
yeah, that's important. Keep the credibility greens.
There was some gossip going around about how we're part of
these riots and it's craziness going on in Europe.
Oh, he's a New Year's Eve riots were insane. In Berlin that bill
like 700 cars burned
have something to do with us. Us. The United States,
we're burning cars.
Now we're fomenting dissent or we're doing something crazy we
were doing something about Germany there's I forget forgot
what this reference was. Well, it was bad word. It was our our
people.
No, you don't say we're trying to screw a country? Nah, not.
That's can't be true.
This this clip, this is the continued strikes in the UK that
are going on? This is very interesting to me, because it's
not covered at all really in the United States.
Let me see which what is it called?
is called I have British strikes continue. Oh, well, you
said okay. In the
UK strikes continue to sweep across the country. There's new
general secretary of the Trades Union Congress or T UC is
challenging the government and employers to work with unions to
resolve the issue. The one thing
I can absolutely tell you is that no union member wants to
take strike action takes that strike action lightly. The
government really does need to step up to the plate now. Talk
to unions, talk to their own workforce, put money in the
pockets of working people and stop stonewalling.
Paul Novak takes over the job amid the biggest outbreak of
industrial unrest in a generation. Leaders of the
health rail civil service teaching and postal unions are
increasingly angry at what they see as a lack of involvement
from ministers. Novak said he will make it a priority to meet
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to try to help resolve the
disputes. He warned that workers were facing two decades of loss
pay unless the country changes course. To mark Novak's
appointment. The tea you see published a new analysis it says
showed that workers have lost 20,000 pounds on average in real
wages since 2008. It said this was the longest real wage
squeeze in modern history.
Yeah, Not just that, but they just came out with food
inflation numbers 13.3%, which of course is their number? I'm
sure it's more than that. Sure. It is, like everywhere. Yeah.
And I love watching CNBC. I don't have a clip of it. But
this morning the jobs Khitan jobs numbers came out. And I was
like, Oh, we have way that employment is there's almost no
unemployment. This is not good. We have to get people
unemployed. I don't know if people actually understand that
the Federal Reserve is saying literally that we have to make
sure that less people are employed.
But the problem with the unemployment number as opposed
to the total jobs number is that the unemployment number does not
include people that just aren't even looking to healthcare.
Right so that so really, there there is a bogus number phony
baloney numbers are now coming back to haunt them. Because
there's probably more than enough people who've just given
up and no longer counted.
If they went and joined. Job forces again, that number would
go way up. What a shout would have solved the problem.
What does shadow stats say? We always used to check out shadow
stats because
they did shadow stats for months. All right, take a look.
I got a I got a I got a bad error on Shadow stats. What
happened here? It's not shadow stats.com. I thought it was
shadow stats.com.
That's what I thought it was.
Oh, this is bad. Maybe the
government finally shut him down. Shut him up.
Let me see. Shadow stats. This is weird. What is it? What is
the shadow? stats.com? Yeah. And oh, there it is. Okay. Where do
we find the alternate? Alternate data? So
I would say at the top? Yeah. Yeah.
Do you see it? I don't see the I don't see the unemployment. Here
we go. According to shadow stats. Okay, this is the
official number is what is it now? Like? Just about 4%? I
think what I'm seeing here, then you have the broadest potential
number, but really, Shadow stats has it here at 24.5%.
Which is more realistic. I
think it is. Yeah. But now I am. So they're just gonna raise
interest rates and that'll just be great for everything. I
guess. You'd like it. You like the higher interest rate? No, I
don't know you like what's going on? You say oh, we got cheap
money and we can pay off the bad. Oh, no, I
never said that. I said that's what they're thinking. Oh, I
thought you like high like,
oh, you said it so excitedly.
Well, I was excited probably. Look at these alternate numbers
to hear everything. Here's inflation number check that
inflation chart.
The chart literally off the chart. Oh, goodness, what is it?
What is this? What does it say? What are they? What do they
have?
It's off the chart is literally off the chart? It doesn't say
anything. It the number that the official numbers around 10% or
nine? And this is least five points higher? Or points higher.
Oh, it
is. It goes. When I said literally goes off the chart to
the top. And somewhere it looks like it's 1312 1350. I think
1515 close to
it. Yeah, maybe yeah,
or 12. But you know, that's just Q anon stuff, man. Shut up.
That's an
interesting, bro. We're talking about this sort of thing. Let me
read this to you. FTC proposes banning non compete clauses
protecting workers.
Oh, hello, Silicon Valley. That'll be fun.
Following a December letter from consumer advocates and labor,
the Federal Trade Commission today took the first step in
banning the use of the coercive anti worker anti competes in
employment contracts. This is a major major deal out here that
people I mean, it's not discussed on the news. Of
course, of course, nobody wants to even mention it. But this is
huge. And you as well, you know, because you're involved in the
industry more than a few times to the point where you know what
these things mean?
Well, if we explain both Well, first of all, if we taken well,
what do you what do you? What are you hinting at?
Well, I would I don't think people know what these things
do. What they do is they take you you say you go to work for
Intel. And you're working there and you end up learning a few
things about this and that. And then CMD says, Hey, buddy, once
you come work for us, yeah, which is, which is good and they
drag you over there. So So what did you learn over there while
you're working there at Intel? Well, you know I'd learned this,
that and the other thing, you can't do that today because you
sign these documents and don't allow it for two or three years.
And, and a lot of bias, for example, when you have if you
like, Bridgette you buy a podcast. And you have two hosts.
Yeah. Oh god, how much can we sell it for? Tell me quick.
You buy. You buy a podcast with two hosts and the two hosts. You
don't want the two hosts. But you don't want them just
starting another podcast,
especially because they got the secret sauce, they have the
formula.
So you say look buddies will buy your company you can go ever do
to some males make socks, but sign this document saying you're
not going to do another podcast and just use it for five years.
Yeah, and sometimes it's less but generally speak well,
how would that work with the newly newly fired 18,000? Amazon
workers who I understand are mainly from AWS from the Amazon
Web Service, this is not people in the warehouse. This is people
in technology people,
they could start up a new AWS on their own,
not if they have a noncompetes not if this goes through? Ah,
well, it seems like
people can't be kidding. In other words, what it what it
amounts to, is these companies have been very cavalier and I
think they're douchebags in general. And they get you over
there. And they say, Yeah, sign this. So you can't even talk
about nothing. And he can't even go work in the industry. In some
cases, you can't even go back to work in the industry for two or
three, four years. Five, sign this and you get a good job.
Yeah, we repay you well, and then they just get ready. Get
out of here. You're done. And you're screwed. But they
do is that they pay you off, though. Don't say that to pay
off? If they
always owe that pay off? Yes. Sometimes you don't get paid
five years of salary?
No. Well, from what I'm reading is that most of these 18,000
workers, many of or I should say many of them don't have more
than two months. You know, living wages in the in the bank.
Yeah, it'd be typical, but it's not going to be easy to find
work. No, in Silicon Valley. And and here's, here's the funny
part. Apparently, the Amazon's worldwide digital unit is being
wiped out. And that's where they make echo smart speakers and
Alexa voice technology. So that failed. Had an operating loss of
over $3 billion on smart speakers and Alexa voice
technology. How do you do that? I didn't know this. I'm reading
it in the register, which I think we liked. We trust the
register.
Is this the register that went out of England or the UK
register? Yeah, they're quite good. Yeah, they're very good.
Actually. I know, most of the guys that
know. The main guy have met him before. He seems pretty nice.
Yeah. Yeah. $3 billion, lot. And that thing came out. I remember.
I had the first one way before anybody was all God about it.
And I even said, Hey, you put an apple logo on this, this thing
will be dynamite. And they never, they never really quite
pull it off. Siri never really worked. I mean, it works. But
it's not, hey, it's not like, chat, open AI chat. GPT. I got
to talk about everyone's going nuts. This this is fantastic. I
have to say. First of all, we discussed not only maybe two
weeks ago, that all we need is that Google was really worried
about this because this is the beaut is a perfect search
interface. It really does a great job.
I know this show and it was quite quite. It was powerful.
Yeah. And then what happens Microsoft comes along and says,
Hey, we're gonna we're gonna screw Google, we're going to
incorporate that chat GPT open AI into Bing it into Bing, which
is fantastic. Now I got a couple a couple of AI things that I
just
this, I am Bing, I will help you find your search.
It's so much better. I have to say there's a lot of validity to
I mean, it's it's more like machine learning is that it's
machine learning with a very, very, it. It really speaks to
you in a in a language that makes you feel comfortable. And
if you say, hey, find me a link for something like I tried this
morning. And is there a page where I can find all the no
agenda jingles? And it comes back and says, Oh, yeah, no
agenda Show with Jon Adam curry. Jhansi. Dvorak has that gene and
has a whole thing about how the jingles work, and says you can
find them but no agenda. No agenda. jingles.com has a link
right to it. Of course that's a dead link. So I say hey, that's
a dead link. Do you have something else? I'm sorry, that
was a dead link. I will come back later. Like him aggregate
ball almost. But there's a lot of fun stuff happening with it
with AI and, and there's the CEO of open ai ai, his name is Sam
Altman. I'd never heard this guy before. He's young. He's a he
has vocal fry. I even asked that Oh, chat GPIO GPT said, Why does
Sam Altman have vocal fry, and it goes into a whole thing about
what vocal fry is, and says, I don't know why he has vocal fry,
because I haven't studied him speaking yet. So maybe that
could help. So this is the CEO of open AI, which I think is
funded mainly by Elon Musk, and a few other Silicon Valley
companies. And he is talking about the future of AI, which,
of course, he will, he will be in charge of it, because he's a
mastermind. He's the smartest man in the room. And what it
will mean to other one, what it will mean to tech workers, all
kinds of other people that will just not have jobs anymore.
So there's a lot of things that like people have been talking
about a lot that I'm not going to rehash, like how do we
rescale people for new jobs? How do we build resilience? How do
we build like better judgments that people know if they're kind
of looking at, you know, fake content generated content or
not? All of the stuff that people have already discussed, I
will talk about three other things that I think are under
discussed rather than rehash the same, even though I think those
are important.
Oh, this guy. I mean, when you talk like that Bresson, because
he's not going to talk about the rehab. I'm going to talk about
that. I think it's important that
number one is,
number one,
you can't talk over Joe Biden, you'll miss, you'll miss the
good parts. All right.
Number one is, I think we're really just going to have to
think about how we share wealth in a very different way than we
have in the past, like, fundamental forces of
capitalism. And what makes that work, break down a little bit.
The fundamental, we are ruining the fundamental forces of
capitalism is
to be ill. And so how old is this kid?
It's like, 17. I don't know. Okay.
Makes sense.
You know, is it like, some version of like a basic income
or basic wealth redistribution, or like, you know, some sort of
version like that? We're trying to study that I think it's
collectively under explored. And again, I think people just
haven't internalized what happens at the plant until
shifts this much as they assume we can just sort of like tweak.
I'm sorry. He's 37. Actually, about that. A younger
kid, is his vocal fries is hurting him. It's hurting his
voice.
It's hurt. Yes. It's very bad for him. He's from Chicago, and
he's from Stanford.
Okay, more basic wealth redistribution, or like, you
know, some sort of version like that. Ah,
oh, he comes from a white. He was the former president of Y
Combinator. So he's been the best for a while. So
chose it. Okay, here's what he Y Combinator guy. He's, he's this
ran bass, his desk, he said, Screw Y Combinator. I'm gonna go
do this. He just like, it's like the guys I knew guys who started
like video dating sites. The only reason they started this
site was to get the girl when they first came in. Ah, that's
help putting her on the video. I'm taking her. We're trying to
sell Yes, but he did.
Let's move on.
I think it's collectively under explored. And again, I think
people just haven't internalized what happens at the playing
field shifts
this much. I'm shifting the playing field so much. So we
can just sort of like tweak. You know, a small tweak on
capitalism will will work. Number two is how access to
these systems work. So the resource that I think should
matter most in a world of AGI isn't it is like who gets time
slices to use the AGI? Or who
gets time slices? What is AGI? That's interesting. He says
something that an AGI. So that's artificial, global intelligence.
Sounds like something like
artificial Nano, it's artificial general intelligence. And it's
the ability of an intelligent agent to understand or learn any
intellectual task that a human being can, oh, okay.
Well, we just had to get used for stuff like that. And then,
and I think like, that's just gonna require thinking about
access to that limited resource in a very different way. And
then the third one is governance, like, who decides
what you get to use the systems for what the rules are, what
they will do and not do? Like? How do we get to like global
agreement, treaties, whatever it's going to take on on that
topic? How do we agree on what the set of values is going to
be? So and I don't think we're like those So those are three
things that I think were like are going to be really important
and that we're not well suited for
that gap. Well, I think number one, I think he's right that
this is going to be this is this is going bonkers with this AI
thing. And there's going to be they're going to be moving bills
through Congress, all kinds of stuff is going to be happening
and it's going to go fast. And we're not going to be able to
catch everything because there's so much money oops, so much
money that is being being lobbied and everyone wants to
jockeying for position and again, Elon Musk in this somehow
but he we
know for a fact that he is Oh yeah. Oh, yeah. Well, so let's
look at it right now. Open AI okay, you know what? Why don't
we ask for the the chat. Why don't we ask that one last
sketch? Here we go. Okay, I'm loading it up. Hold on a second.
Here we go. Who are the main What do you want owners or
investors?
Well, owners, our investors,
okay, owners of open AI. Okay. Here we go. Some sound effects.
Oh, yeah, it's thinking. Open AI is a research organization that
was founded in 2015 by a group of entrepreneurs, researchers
and philanthropists, including Elon Musk. Sam Altman, Greg
Brockman, Helios caver, which actually remember and John
Schulman, the company is dedicated to advancing
artificial intelligence and responsible and safe manner. It
has a number of sponsors and backers including Microsoft,
Reed, Hoffman, and Khosla ventures, however, it is not
publicly owned, and does not have quote owners in the
traditional sense. I'm sorry, set me straight AI. But what was
kind of cool, is I said, Hey, how do I SSH into another server
without using the password? And it gave me a really nice
formatted structure answer to that. I also said this when I
did this last night, write a bash script here. You're
addicted? Oh, no, it's great. I said, Write a bash script, great
to display the current price of Bitcoin. And it did it. I copied
it, I just copy ran. And it worked out that that kind of
stuff is interesting. But when it gets to this level, we got to
watch out
and out that bills itself as the world's first robot lawyer will
be used for the first time in a court case next month, the app
uses artificial intelligence to listen to the proceedings, and
we'll dispense legal advice to the defendant. The specifics of
the case have not been revealed yet. A subscription to the app
is available for $12 per month, which is a lot cheaper than your
typical lawyer would bill by the
hour. No, we call that a good start getting rid of the lawyers
$12 $12.12
bucks. Worth I'm telling ya,
hey, why not? All this, all this doing just drawing in from
Wikipedia? Here's, here's, here's another version of AI.
This is this. I mean, it's serious product, but come on
people and
the technology behind self driving cars is now being used
to power baby strollers. Yeah, Canadian startup company is
rolling out a stroller that can drive itself using artificial
intelligence. It costs $3,300 And has cameras and sensors to
detect any objects nearby. It also breaks on its own. The
company says it's designed to provide another set of eyes or
hands not to replace a parent or a caregiver self driving
technology lately is really on a roll. Yeah.
It's on a roll. That's great. That's fabulous. job first. It's
always worth the price of admission to get that plenty in
there. Wait now wait until these books I think was nothing better
idea and having a bunch of radar underneath a baby. Yeah, it's
great. Is Radar Radar cooked the baby while you're at it.
So there's I do want to back off. I want to pump the brakes a
little bit or my pump the brakes push back on. On AI generated
art. I think there's a difference between asking asking
a program to do either this or saying do this and add this
color versus mix up Elon Musk with a clown, you know, because
then you're basically pulling in copyrighted work from different
places. And if I just look at some of the answers that I know
where they where the information came from, particularly
podcasting about no agenda, you could almost feel the website
where it comes from, like, Oh, I know where that's from. I've
written that piece myself. And this is something that Jason
Calacanis is very disturbed by and I could not resist of
clipping him
GPT which I have now figured out, is just the ultimate
plagiarizing content form. And I think there's going to be huge
lawsuits around this like, I think Chad GPT should be
required to put where it's sourced the of ovation from.
That would be so actually really great like Wikipedia.
Exactly. Yeah. So this is going to be somebody's going to have
to click this here message to Sam Altman. If chat GPT gives
data, it should say where it got that data from and start putting
some links to it. Because that would be fair to the data
provider. If not, then the data providers should opt out of
having their information and champion GPT. I don't know why
this hasn't come up in the conversation. But I had this
great revelation over the holidays when producer Brian was
like asking me like, hey, what's a good stinger? We were talking
about like a little transition for big little things, our
segment on big buildings. And I said, Well, let me ask charge
up.
Yep. So by the way, Mollywood always good to hear agreeing
with Jason. I think as a pointer, because all of the
stuff first of all, quickly for a link, you don't you don't get
a link.
First of all, Wikipedia is public domain material. Correct.
It's not copyrighted. And so to create, you know, so they're
stealing everything, Wikipedia. Well,
it's not allowed John. It's not just Wikipedia. It's stuff that
I've written myself that pops up. If I asked about value for
value, or podcasting, it's stuff that I've literally written. So
it's taking that and putting word salad
around it. Well, then he's right. There will be some
lawsuits.
I would just like if they put links that'd be fine for me.
A lot of people wouldn't accept that. No, no, no, no, I you got
these guys. That just don't like the idea of this mine. stolen? I
don't care. Right. That attitude is prevalent. Yeah. And
especially old media types. I got to meet Sumner Redstone
once.
Yes, I've met him as well. Actually. He's all
crinkled up. He's all he's a mess. Or was he's dead now. He's
one of those guys. It's mine. We stole it.
I think was his grandpa. His granddaughter or something. Had
to have a job at MTV. Summoners granddaughter, okay. Yeah, one
of those. No talents and no talons. Another node. In the
media has a term. There's a term for this. It is the Nepo child.
Have you seen this term and EPO? They've never heard it? Yeah.
Yeah, the Nepo child is so what's happening now is silica
whole Hollywood is now taking down its own. And the way in
Jamie Lee Curtis is at the heart of the Nepo baby debate. And so
the way it goes is it's not fair. You're doing movies
because you're from famous parents.
And I saw I've been reading the trades there's an there's an
element of this going on in big time. Yeah, they're going after
going after lots of why should the daughter Why should Kate
Hudson Yeah. Exactly. She should get where I've said that before.
myself.
No, that's not Kate Hudson is pretty good. She's a pretty good
actor. It's a Nepo baby. I mean, this is this is it's just
beautiful. How they're they're they're killing their own.
They're eating their own as usual.
Was because right now they're they can't sell any product.
This junky this junk that's out there. Go watch the new hot
movie that's really rolling. Over at Netflix is this Glass
Onion. Oh, I watched it. I saw it. For one thing it Oh, an hour
goes by before they get to the real story. It's it's a time
sink. It's a terrible film. That whole thing with a puzzle at the
beginning. It's pointless. Just send an email. What is the
point?
What I loved about it? Is the response from our producers to
do they got like some like a thing for Colbert and and you
know, what are your throat and there's nothing on COVID Then
they got hydrogen. Whoa, whoa, this is crazy. We watched it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, it was cute. It was cute. I didn't bother me
as much as it bothered you. I like to howl with Daniel Craig.
It was fun in that you'd be played a different type
that Daniel Craig was credible. But yeah, it was I didn't like
it. It was as as someone older than you. I can tell you this
will happen to you. Time is important. And just sit there
and watch some of this crap wasting time.
I literally my life is
watching this crappy movie.
I should be doing something better with the years I have
left.
Watching lousy. Luxury entertainment.
Well, speaking of not really entertainment, but a rare
occurrence rare occurrence rare that I would receive a text
message from John C. Dvorak on a Monday night. Like what is going
on? Something's wrong. Usually it's something you want to pitch
me about something and what I do this time. And that's not
true. Of course. That's why he says rare, rare, rare because
they don't pitch that much. I have the clip, Hamlin, Monday
Night Football as it happened. Ooh, as it happened. Okay,
here we go. Welcome back
to Cincinnati, where medical personnel have been working on
Bill safety. Damar Hamlin for the last nine minutes, Hamlin
made a hit, he got up, took a couple of steps and then just
fell to the ground. We don't know of course, the extent of
his injuries, but the entire Bill's team is out on the field
right now several players are down on their knees. Other
players are holding hands praying, you can just see the
word looks on their faces. As soon as we have more jokes,
we'll pass it on up to you guys. Clearly. So
we're going to take a break. They have been administering CPR
through these past two breaks that we've taken, said tomorrow,
Hamlin has been down for over nine minutes now.
All right, that was 44 seconds, she came back from a commercial
break, they went to a commercial break, the whole clip was 44
seconds, every 45 seconds, they will go back on the field go
back to a commercial. They were running so many commercials
during this because they knew they wouldn't get to hit where
the game was not going to happen. They figured that out
right away,
which is which I don't think is a common occurrence. Right that
they actually will will stop postponing the game for a later
time is that if
I've never seen it in football, I immediately a lot of first
hear that they guy was dropped dead leg literally. And they all
knew it. And so he got keels over and that's why they're all
in tears. And they're all worried and thinking well, I get
that vaccine to there.
No, no, no, no, no, no, you don't get to know you don't get
to do that Q anon. Boy, you don't get to say that. So
the story drops dead. So they have to give him a heart, you
know, CPR, he finally recovered him. So he goes to the hospital
and they killed the game because the players were going to play.
And it was very, it was unusual. And it was very momentous for
football in some ways. But the thing is, we've been or at least
on our show, we've been waiting for this to happen in our sports
because it's been going on in European sports, especially in
soccer players out of the blue just keeling over dead
alive lot. What's interesting is one day before and two on one
day after we got a couple of other reports that were not
really reported like this one.
Tonight we're learning a former Jacksonville Jaguars player has
died. He was selected as a fifth round pick by the Jaguars, the
2007 NFL Draft. His name is Gucci why Nari? Our media
partners of the Times Union are reporting he was found
unresponsive in his wife's home in Indiana Friday night.
Preliminary reports say he suffered a heart attack and
there are no signs of foul play. The Jaguars posting a picture of
him tonight on Twitter. They are saying they are saddened to
learn about his passing. And there's this one it has gone
passed away suddenly today. The former
tight end was just 25 years old fox 35 sports reporter Jessica
Haley is live in studio with more on this sudden tragedy
Jessica
here the UCM community is mourning the loss of former
football player Jake Jake has got the former tight end went
into cardiac arrest on Tuesday well out on a jog up in Boston.
Now according to his family Hiscock suffered a severe brain
injury during the medical incident and was put on life
support before succumbing to the cardiac arrest. The
Massachusetts native played at UCF from 2017 through the 2021
season. Before UCF, he was at Wisconsin Hiscock was only 25
years old.
So there's three in a row. Now granted, not all playing the
game, but out for a jog, just hanging out bought the house.
And this hasn't happened in football since 1971.
In 1971 the lions Chuck Hughes suddenly collapsed mid game in
front of a packed stadium in Detroit. He became the first and
to date only NFL player to die on the field.
The tragedy of Chuck Hughes with the Detroit Lions that game was
not stopped. That game went on the fans that in stunned silence
for much of the rest of that game.
I received several emails right away before even I'd heard of ko
medio Cordis come meet Komodo Cordis before it ever heard of
it before it was in USA Today and plastered everywhere. A one
in 200 million. Chance Fluke accident. I got the same
information from a EMT Rob. And he says, I know you may be
tempted to try and attribute the buffalo football player went
into cardiac arrest on the field, but this one is easily
attributed to traumatic cardiac arrest, or Comodo. Cordless he
was at Square in the chest, which I don't think is true. No
isn't true square in the chest and heart between the aren t
waves of his heart rhythm which basically knocks it out of its
normal electrical rhythm and into ventricular fibrillation V
fib, where the heart is in a spasm, not pumping blood for
effective organ and brain perfusion. He is a young,
healthy male and was defibrillated so quickly, that
that's why they got aro SC or shocked the heart back into a
normal sinus rhythm right there on the field. It was basically a
fluke hit just at the right time in the right place. Think of
those baseball coaches slash players that get hit in the
chest with a line drive and die. Same thing. Unless there's some
undiagnosed heart condition that helped a tribute to this event.
I would not be surprised to see him back playing next season.
Yes,
first of all, that phenomenon was discussed in a column by a
doctor Toby, what's his name? Who does a substack that dead?
He's a hysteric Cuba, Cuba went on. He says this was a this was
a out of the blue this this phenomenon was promoted into the
public domain to get a good high recognition, he says, and he's a
doctor, as opposed to just an EMT. He says this is a rare
occurrence in adults, it usually happens to kids under 50. Yes,
cry a baseball to the chest is as as mentioned, football
players have heavy plastic shields over their heart. And
their and their padded and this and I watched the tackle the
tackle was routine.
I think that Dr. Drew Pinsky had the best open ended explanation
for this, he's dealt with this. I trust him. I like Dr. Drew.
He's not branded Q anon. As far as I as I know, he's, he's still
a valid doctor. And here's what he said,
I've actually been involved with commerciaux. It's a rare thing.
I've seen it from baseball, I haven't seen it. I've seen it
from an elbow. hockey pucks can do it's rare for football to do
it just does doesn't have the same qualities that would cause
it. But the in my experience, they are flaccid immediately
though, somebody just told me he saw a video of somebody take two
skates after a hockey puck hit him. But in my experience,
they're flat and immediately and they come right back, they come
right back after you have to shock them. Now, if you are too
long without a shock, perhaps his anoxic brain injury became
irreversible, or he had anoxic injury to the myocardium itself.
So you got to worry that the heart was actually damaged by
the amount of time that he might have been fib relating. And
thereby the second code may be more related to myocardial
injury, then what? Whatever the underlying source was, that's
crazy, but it was different. It was different hold his head,
walks around, you know, and then boom, down after you know,
complaining, complaining, stumbling, and then boom, down.
That's the head. That's the head. This was not that this was
stood up, walked and then bow just fell backwards, which is
what we've been seeing a lot of I don't know, if you've watched
the video, Heather McDonald falling on stage, watch what
happened to Bob Saget. A lot of this sort of sudden drop. I
liked it.
He throws Bob Saget in there. Since we don't actually know
what happened to Bob. Bob Saget. He says, watch what happened to
Bob Saget. That's
interesting. Which is what we've been seeing a lot of I don't
know if you've watched the video Heather McDonald falling on
stage. Watch what happened to Bob Saget. A lot of this sort of
sudden dropping, which maybe it's just odd to dysautonomia
from some from COVID or something, right? This stuff
needs to be answered. Look, we just had a soccer journalist
dropped out of an aortic dissection in his 30s Unheard of
unheard of without talking to Aussies. And why would he have
Takayasu is not know it. I mean, this is like crazy stuff
happening. That needs to be explained. And by the way, it's
Caleb just played the video of Heather McDonald falling on
stage and you look played again. And you tell me everybody, if
that doesn't look like exactly what you saw this kid do on the
football field. Take a couple of steps and then backwards, step
back. That's exactly what happened to this, this, this
tragedy on the field. So I don't know something is going on here.
I've never seen anything like all this stuff. I you know, it's
a service a signal that needs to be explained.
To see most of the soccer players that we've seen. Same
thing Yeah. They fall backwards. Yes. Well, that brings us to
this clip, which is you know, that bald guy that's on YouTube,
that's a doctor and he's got this slight British accent.
People have sent this to me 1000 We've never played this guy
because he's so boring.
I could I cut out the first part of it is It's quite good. I cut
all the pauses out. And this is him going on. I agree.
Hey, man, he says we should stop vaccinating right away. You've
seen him John, what's his name? John John, his name is John
Carter
here and here. I play the clip this Vax new adverse comments
and I thought, and he's very easy. He's super careful about
saying anything that would get his videos taken down, although
if they can can take him down anyway, John Campbell, I think
is his name Campbell. Yeah, there you go.
brief history lesson, swine flu vaccine in 1976. There was one
serious adverse event per 100,000 people vaccinated and
the vaccine was withdrawn. This is good because the principle is
we should do no harm and the vaccine should be good for the
individual now receives the vaccine. So vaccine was
withdrawn, rotavirus vaccine rota shield 1999, one to two
serious adverse events per 10,000 people given the vaccine,
and again, rightly, the vaccine was withdrawn. At the moment,
COVID-19 mRNA vaccines, there's one serious adverse adverse
event per 100 People that are vaccinated, and the vaccine is
officially promoted. Now, some of you might be a little
confused about this. Join the club. So am I. Now, this
information about one in 800 comes from a reanalysis of the
original phase three trial studies from Pfizer ran Maderna.
And here's the paper here that we're going to be looking at.
And if you need to dash off, I'm just going to give you a quick
summary of this.
I'm gonna go dash off. Okay. That's exactly what I thanks,
man. Could you summarize after a minute because I gotta dash off.
So this is the paper here serious adverse events of
special interest. Following mRNA COVID vaccines in randomised
trials in adults? These are the original trials for textures
available there. Why do we question the safety profile of
mRNA COVID-19 vaccine. Now this is by two of the authors of the
study. And it just gives a very useful summary. And the authors
say this and their substack using publicly available data
from Pfizer and Maderna studies. And bear in mind the publicly
available data is somewhat limited. We found one serious
adverse event for every 100 people vaccinated. That
translates to about one in 1250 Series events for each million
vaccine recipients. Now if you think of 1250 serious adverse
events per million vaccine recipients, and you think about
the number of people that have been vaccinated with these mRNA
vaccines. I'm not going to do a back of the envelope
calculation. I think you can see the the input of this.
Thanks for dashing, I got a dash now. Let's go back to my EMT
firefighter. And so what do you really start off with is saying
hey, I, I he's in central Ohio. He says shit is weird. I got a
couple things for you. We transport a cancer patient who
had a serious reaction to her first chemo treatment. I didn't
think it was anything too out of the ordinary until the nurse who
administer the treatment said to stated I've been giving this
chemo drug for 16 years never Has anyone had a bad reaction to
this drug. But ever since the COVID shots came out. I've sent
tons of people to the emergency department after they had bad
reactions to post treatment. And lo and behold, I look into it.
Our department a load had transported several patients
from this clinic to the IDI emergency department because of
bad reactions to this routine chemo drug. We hosted a card
cardiologist for a training meeting a few months ago, we
flat out asked are you seeing younger people coming in for
cardiac issues because of the backs he replied, I can't say is
because of the VAX or not. But yes, a lot more younger people
are coming in with heart issues and pulmonary embolisms blood
clots in the lung. A guy on my shift told me his wife went to
get a routine mammogram and had an odd interaction with the
technician who did the scan. The technician said, asked did you
get your COVID shot in your left arm? my shipmates wife confirmed
that that was the case and the technician stated she can see a
white haze and spots on whichever side breast people
have been getting COVID shots on. We had a continuing
education. Yeah, yeah, it's more. A couple more. We got a
continuing education. You were laughing That's pretty ghoulish.
No, it's just like, Wow, can you imagine seeing a bunch of crazy
stuff on the on the on this cast? Scan? It's it's gross. We
had a continuing education course on pediatric stroke
recognition attack, attached a picture. Either kids have always
had strokes and we just never looked for him or all of a
sudden medical providers should be looking for strokes and kids
bottom line for everyone. eliminate age is a factor for
suspecting heart attacks and strokes Learn the signs and
symptoms of both, and assume anyone of any age showing any of
them could be having a major medical issue. And he goes on he
says, emergency department really started off as an
emergency departments are very full. But they're not full with
COVID. They are full with people deathly afraid of their children
dying of RSV, of course, they're filled with illegal immigrants
and other people who have no coverage treating the emergency
department as the general practitioner. But the main thing
he said is COVID, RSV, no, there's very, very, very few
people being taken it they're all either beside themselves
with fear, and they think that their child is dying. But it's
really all kinds of all these other symptoms. And so yes, he
said, emergency departments and hospitals are filling up, but
not because of, of, of COVID. And here we are, we're just
about what we're now three years, pretty much to the date
now a couple more months, and Happy New Year, everybody,
and especially take care of your health this year. Go get that
COVID vaccine and get your flu shot.
Thank you, Dr. Joe Biden. And it's not just not just a new
variant, man, I gotta I gotta play these two clips. So we have
we have a new sub variant, a new Coronavirus
sub variant is taking hold in the United States. It's a
mutation of the Omicron variant. You can see how dominant it's
becoming nationwide. But
this is Your Miche by the way, she is she on NBC UMich. She,
she, she she was known as she's long, long gone from PBS. Long
gone long ago. Like she went she went for the big bucks, huh?
Well,
they're probably racist over there. That's why it'll come
out.
I should have been radical.
She should have been next in line to succeed Judy. And those
racists. You know, they just
they imagine her being the host. Oh, my God,
it now makes up more than 40% of all new cases. The next COVID
strain makes up about a quarter of new cases. The CDC says
there's no indication that the sub variant makes people sicker
than others. It's also unclear where it came from what we can
tell you is it the CDC says it's spreading quickly. Joining us
now NBC News Medical fail thought fellow doctor medical
failure. Did she say medical failure?
She said medical shale
can tell you? Is it the CDC says it's spreading quickly. Joining
us now NBC News Medical fail
out fellow your failure. She was gonna say medical failure.
That's why he's on TV.
Dr. Akshay Cibao. Thanks so much for joining us tonight. So what
can you tell us about the transmission of this new
variant? How worried frankly, should we be?
Good evening? I mean, yeah, so this this new variant X BB dot
1.5, it's part of the Omicron family tree here. But the
concern is, you know, it's a little bit it's a little bit out
there in terms of the family tree, meaning, you know, the
vaccines that we have, and the antibodies that we've developed
from infection, the concern is that these may not be as
effective with this variant as prior variants. And I know we
say that every few months, and it seems like, you know,
I know we say that every couple of months, but yeah, that's what
I'm a failure for have
been with the prior bearings. And I know, we say that every
few months, and it seems like, you know, every few months,
there's a new variant that is immune evasive, as we call it,
yes. Seems like it. No, it is like it because you're spreading
the fear.
But with this one specifically, we're worried about, you know,
the vaccines, the by valen boosters and the antibodies, we
have them infection, are they still going to be effective at
finding the virus? And so, you know, in talking to the CDC
about this new variant, the thing that they're really
watching for is, yes, cases are going to go up. But are those
cases going to lead to a rise in hospitalizations? And are those
hospitalizations going to lead to a rise in deaths? You know,
we're at a different point last year, then or different point
this year than last year when we had the, you know, omicron wave
hit the United States with a lot of population immunity built up
to this point. So the hope is, yes, cases may go up. But the
effects on hospitalizations and the effects on debts should be
minimal.
So here's something I learned today. I had to learn it from UK
column news, but I checked it, I checked it at Bloomberg, I had
no idea that the XB B, one dot 1.5, sub COVID Omicron sub
variant has its own name. Did you know that?
No, in fact, I wrote about in the newsletter, this particular
variant because it's a big talk of the town, but I didn't know
they gave it a name as of
today. I'm reading it here January 5 in Bloomberg, I'm not
going to give it away.
Good afternoon. It's Wednesday, the fourth of January 2023. Just
after one o'clock, welcome to UK column news, your host today.
Myself Roy nourish Mike Robinson and we're delighted to be
joined, joined by Alex Thompson, bring his Eastern approaches
from the Netherlands and nursing correspondent Debbi evidence.
We've got a lot to cover.
Yeah. So we started off Monday with with a new variant of
Coronavirus, which is been called X BB dot 1.5. But
actually it's got a new name to make sure that everybody's
particularly scared of it. So it's, it's the new variant is
called Kraken so it's not Omicron it's not delta is
cracking.
They're calling it cracking. Are you kidding me?
I'm I'm not buying it released. I know you sent me check it out.
Kraken, right oh is gonna call it that isn't disgusting right
here. Bloomberg New COVID variant first detected last year
nicknamed the cracking variant
in Bloomberg in the kitchen.
I'm going to use it. I'm gonna use the heck out of you kidding.
To get you released the Kraken. We can use our own gene goals.
This is so cool. I want them
to have a bunch of cracking jingles because what's your
name's lawyer who's just released the Kraken and save
Trump. Release the Kraken.
Yeah, she released the Kraken. It was who knew it was it was a
Omicron Omicron
two dot 5.4 dot b dot a
let's let's learn about the Kraken is it more deadly. So
it sounds like what you're saying that it's it might be
more contagious, but it's not more deadly. Just to make sure.
Yeah, you know that? The answer is more contagious. We don't yet
know. This, we don't know is relatively new. It's about 40%
of cases nationwide, about 70% of cases here in New York where
it was first discovered. Is it more contagious? We don't yet
have the answer to that.
I put a put a lock down in New York. But the
CDC is looking into that. And we don't yet know does this cause
more severe disease, but those things should come apparent in
the weeks to come?
Oh, can't wait. These are all short. So I just gotta keep
going with this Dr. Axe shy see all the failed medical
journalist
and talk to us about how much our vaccinations, our current
vaccinations, the boosters how much they're seen as working
against this new variant
doll. Let me guess, let me guess. I'm probably not working
at all we need some new boosters.
It's an excellent question. And about 15% of people over the age
of five have gotten a new booster and more worrisome, you
know, over the age of 65. We're only seeing about one in three
people receiving that new booster. But to answer your
question that the booster is targeted against BA four and VA
five the other variants of Omicron. But there is what we
call cross reactivity meaning that because this baby Island
booster improves protection against similar strains, it does
actually improve protection against x BB the parent variant
of the one we're seeing right now. And I know that's a lot to
take in. But the takeaway is that you should get your buy
valium booster you were expecting it to improve
protection against this new XP v dot 1.5 variant as
well. There he is. There he is there. There it is the money
shot the money shot any advice shot
whenever it does, just to show I
want to ask you talk a little bit about safety and sorry, new
variant is taking hold what parts of the country we're
seeing it in? Yeah, you mean it's really the Northeast? You
know, it was first discovered in New York and it's making about
70 to 75% of
I'm thinking this is a New York specific we need to seriously we
need to quarantine New York block those people in New
Yorkers The problem is is
used to it. Yeah, Northeast region are made up from this
variant. And I asked the CDC last week, are you seeing a
greater than expected rise in hospitalizations in the
Northeast compared with the rest of the country? And you know,
the good news is right now we're there's no indication that that
this new X VB dot 1.5 is causing more severe hospitalizations.
But that, you know, we still need to wait in the weeks to
come to see. Well that remains to be the
case. Yeah. Oh, yeah, sure. Wait,
wait, hold on a second. It was it was x b b. Dot 1.5 crackin.
What was there an x b b dot 1.4. Or an x b b dot one. I don't
remember that. Whatever how to come is x. Want to just call it
x BB? Or wanted to just call it x or B? Let me see what is this?
X B B? dot 1.5? What's the reason for this long? Was there
a whole bunch of other ones? Yeah, there was there a B? B?
Yeah. Was there a y BB?
No, there was an X BB dash one.
And this is a dash one that's
different is different. Okay, now the X BB dot one is the
Omicron sub variant. The recent X BB seven Barrett is a XB b dot
was so this is a. This is like a sub it's like a it's like a July
iOS upgrade. You know, it's not the big one at the end of the
year. It's just we're just going to tweak it a little bit.
Does it get a point upgrade? It's just slipstreamed What
about it? They would I like to know what x BB stands for?
Well, XP b dot one was found in an important infection and it's
actually a combination of BA dot two dot 10 and BA dot two dot
75.
How do you get the nomenclature then?
nomenclature. Yeah, X BB from
B. I mean where's the X come from
cross cross a bet you have to cry Hold on, hold on. Hold on.
Let's go to the chat GPT let's ask them oh I won't know Will it
because it's only 20 I want to see where does the sub vary and
name X BB come from? Let's see if it knows his I don't think it
knows this because I'm sorry. I don't have enough information to
determine.
Sheldon doesn't know crap. Well,
they only schooled up until 2021
Well, poor thing.
Let me try. Let me try to speak French. Let me try it. Can you
speak French?
Say we miss you and
let's see what it says. Oh, hold on. Still Still doing something
here. I'm sorry. Can you speak French? We use your Parlophone
says yes we in Madera. De long club longer on tenor bar open AI
edge. Yep, it does. How about this? Do you speak Dutch?
Because I can actually check and see if this isn't any good.
speak Dutch. Okay. Yes, I can speak Dutch. It doesn't do it in
Dutch about
just speaks it in English. says yes. Well, I couldn't do that
asked me if I could speak Dutch. Can
you speak Dutch?
Yes, I can.
Oh, I said speak some Dutch. He'd been in computer programmer
that is trained on the communist era infoscale in the towel over
on the Netherlands is each space speaks about Google proud of
what you can do. And that's not bad. That's not bad. That's
that's pretty good. Dutch. Interesting. Okay, well, let's
wrap
this up here. And as people are watching this, I wonder sorry.
Okay. No, go ahead. I
don't I I'm taking this to the next level after you're done.
Okay. And as people are watching this, I wonder if you have any
advice for folks who are worried about this new variant? I know
I've heard a lot of experts say get vaccinated. What would you
tell folks?
Whoa, get the shot people.
The number one thing that you can do right now is to get your
by Vaillant booster, especially if you're somebody who's it's
been a while since you haven't had an infection. It's been a
while since you've had the last booster maybe you've never even
had a booster booster, you should really, really get this
new buy bailant booster to improve that reactivity improve
your antibody response against this variant, because it's very
likely cases are going to rise in the coming weeks. And you
want to make sure you have the most protection possible going
into that wave. How are you doing booster?
How you doin booster? Mm hmm. There you have that key? Yeah,
go ahead. So that okay, yeah, there you have it, get a shot.
Come on. It's not that hard. So that takes us to, to the TSA
rules. Oh,
I am so pissed off. And why does the TSA get to determine this?
What happened to the CDC? You might as well explain what it
is.
But well, here it is play the clip Vax TSA rules.
The TSA extends the requirement for visitors to the US to be
vaccinated in order to enter the country. This makes the United
States the only western country that still has such a rule. Here
are the details
to Transportation Security Administration or TSA has issued
a so called emergency amendment which extends the requirement
for visitors to the US to show proof of being fully vaccinated
against COVID-19
Once you stop some terrorists first Okay, once you stopped
some some some bombs or something just stopped something
before we do this Dex.
This directive is effective from next Monday to April 10. It
applies to almost all visitors excluding US citizens and lawful
permanent residents. This makes the US one of only a few
countries worldwide to vaccine proof as a requirement for entry
for non citizens. Most other countries offer alternatives for
the unvaccinated, such as requiring a negative test, a
quarantine period, or proof of immunity, which comes from a
previous infection. For example, there are only four countries
with similar rules to the US. Those are Pakistan, Indonesia,
Ghana and Liberia. According to wait a minute, did they say home
and see what they said here is requiring a negative test a
quarantine period or proof of immunity, which comes from a
previous infection, for example,
but you can do that I don't think I don't understand. So you
don't need it, you don't need vaccination.
Now these are some other countries not
to vaccine proof as a requirement for entry for non
citizens. Most other countries offer alternatives for the
investor, such as requiring a negative test, a quarantine
period, or proof of immunity which comes from a previous
infection. For example, there are only four countries with
similar rules to the US. Those are Pakistan, Indonesia, Ghana
and Liberia. According to CDC, fully vaccinated means having
received an accepted single dose vaccination or a second dose of
a two dose series at least four Team days in the past,
that's bull crap. We know that that doesn't work because you
have to have at least three boosters by now. So their own
rules Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
there is no need for a booster dose to achieve the criterion.
The TSA says their vaccine requirements will advance safety
and security of travelers, government workers and more. The
amendment reads the policy is intended to limit the risk that
COVID-19 including variants of the virus that causes COVID 19
is introduced, transmitted and spread into and throughout the
United States, potentially overwhelming the United States
health care and public health resources. However, the CDC
director in August noted that vaccines can't actually prevent
transmission. She told CNN in an interview, our vaccines are
working exceptionally well. They continue to work well for delta
with regard to severe illness and death. They prevent it. But
what they can't do anymore is prevent transmission.
So it's a ludicrous rule. ludicrous.
Go to make it more ludicrous. I got this interesting note from
Brian, who's Irish. And he says Dear John and Adam, here's my
wee bit of input to the show. Despite much pressure, my
brother avoided the vaccine for two years as I did, the pair of
us related lepers to some of our extended family, but we just got
on with it. He booked a family trip to see our sister in
California this Christmas and then he found out that he needed
to be vaccinated banner the US. Yeah. After coughing up for for
return tickets from Dublin to Los Angeles and with the family
set on it, he felt he had to compromise and get vaccine. Oh.
But as it turned out, he was not even asked for proof of
vaccination. Ireland is one of the few places where you can do
a pre clearance. You've probably had this happen. I've had a
couple places pre clearance for entering the US before flying.
So maybe they're not as fanatical here. But all they did
was ask where they were that were they've asked and they said
yes that was it. Keep up
the good work, what would be important is which airline wet
because what pre clearance, pre clearance because I've gone
through what is what is I've gone through pre clearance and
auto when I went through pre clearance someplace else, I
can't remember where but their preclearance is in the entire
United States Customs Service system, right there at the
foreign Airport, where they check you in, they check the
passport, they stamp it, they look at your baggage, they do
the red and red and green thing with your baggage. Your pre
cleared you land at a regular airport entry don't land at the
International Terminal yet land at like LaGuardia or someplace,
for example, or just a regular part of San Francisco and I've
had this preclearance system twice I think
customs and immigration they're not. It's just so you
understand. This is not checked in America, they are putting
this own on the airlines, the airlines are supposed to I know
you say that. But this is what happened in this guy's story
from Ireland to the United States. Because once you get
past that, that step where they ask you for your vaccination
information that you just say, yes, you're good to go from
there on out. The airlines don't seem to have anything to do with
it.
Now I'm going to disagree with that. But okay, in this case,
maybe preclearance is definitely something different than this.
It's up to the airline. And if the airline just asked you and
you say yes, then you'll not be hassled at all. If the airline
says prove it to me, which would be something that commies in
Holland would do at klm you guys tell me you're banging me?
I'm sure that I'm sure there'll be it's a
French by the way it KLM is French would we know they're
commies. I'm just trying to do my best Archie Bunker. Bunch of
cowboys bunch of commies. This of course is not good for
China's the Chinese notice the China vaccine is not on the
list. No, no. If you have the Chinese vaccine for COVID You
cannot not that would mean that Air China would have to stop
their own people which I don't think Air China is going to do
on the streets of China life is slowly returning to normal after
years of harsh lockdowns and strict COVID controls. But that
newfound freedom is having devastating consequences.
Hundreds of 1000s of people are catching the virus every day.
officials insist it's under control that the world's not
convinced
that we're going to implement controls at our airports
a growing list of countries including Australia now
requiring travelers from China to return a negative test within
48 hours of departure, saying Beijing's not being upfront
about case numbers and mortality. He writes
that lack of transparency means that it's not possible to keep
track of variances they are developing.
Despite demanding similar tests from rivals, the Chinese
government isn't happy. We are firmly opposed to attempts to
manipulate the COVID-19 measures for political purposes,
threatening retaliation for a policy it says lacks scientific
basis, we
will take countermeasures based
on the principle of reciprocity. It's a
matter for China what they decide to do but but this is a
modest measure taken out of an abundance of caution for given
Australia's top doctors says the screening is unnecessary and the
fact that travelers can use rapid antigen tests which can't
be used to identify variants. The opposition says the
government's claims don't add up
and the minister should know that you cannot generically
sequence a rat test,
prompting speculation the move is part of a global campaign to
pressure Beijing into sharing more COVID data.
Well, good luck.
Well, there's a situation occurring in Korea to do you
have a clip as the clip, South Korea and China
South Korea has stepped up mandatory Coronavirus tests on
travelers from China. This after a Chinese national who tested
positive for COVID-19 went missing while waiting at a
quarantine facility. And today's Daniel Monahan has this report.
Health officials
and military officers can be seen wearing protective suits.
They are keeping a watchful eye as travelers from China stream
through the arrival hall at Incheon International Airport.
The travelers will then proceed to a nearby Testing Center. The
Case of the Missing Chinese national has fueled public
debate on restrictions on people arriving from China.
Wait, there's a missing Chinese national in South Korea. Instead
of a manhunt. We got to hunt this guy down
most. wanted most one to try to get
him back this South Korean resident welcomes their arrival.
I think we should open the door wider to the Chinese travelers
and regard them more favorably so that more tourists can come.
While 30 year old Lee J Moon wants stricter rules that you
don't have. I saw the news that a person came from China who is
supposed to be quarantined, but had escaped that incident
underlines the seriousness of the situation. South Korean
authorities say the missing person was transferred to a
hotel to await admission to quarantine but then disappeared.
Health Ministry official Kim Joo Young says the individual has
been placed on a wanted list, the person could be subject to
up to one year in prison or 10,000,001 and fines if
convicted of violating the Infectious Disease Control and
Prevention Act as well. So the person would be deported and
banned from entering the country for a certain period of time.
Where do
they go to jail first, and they kick out you can't come back in.
Over 2000 People have arrived from China since January 2, more
than 22% of those tested were COVID Positive. On Tuesday,
about 20% of the more than 280 people tested were positive. And
I
would like to say that of course lots of people who are listening
have accepted the vaccine into their life. And and you heard
the numbers. It's 1000 for every 1 million. That's what Dr. John
Campbell says, the most boring YouTube doctor in the universe.
So the chances that you know that
by the way, he likes to underline things as you watch.
So, the only reason we're laughing because you know,
alright, so we didn't take it, but it's not funny. But the
chance you have a pretty good chance of being okay, but maybe
not a good idea to keep boosting. So take that take
that. Okay, I think you have a good chance of being okay. I
mean, if you're not if you're not, if you don't have
this is one in 800. And
a couple a couple more things on this topic from the show notes.
COVID style measures could return under official plans to
save the NHS in the UK. So we're all going that sounds like
locked down. Sounds like mandatory masking.
They may have to do that district prevent these strikes.
Ooh, that's a good one. Yeah, that's me see what this article
is from The Daily Mail. So take it for what it's worth. We can't
do this every winter fury over government plans to bring back
COVID era measures to avoid full blown NHS meltdown. As zealots
demand masks in public. Whoo. Okay, social distancing. Masking
mask
ratio looks like I'm trick I'm keeping track of it now. I have
two, two looks I get the public. It's gotten to the point where
the public indoor masking which is about I'd say 65% of
everybody in in the Bay Area, and outdoor, good, free fresh
air outdoor masking is Almost identical now, it's like 65% or
70% of the people walking free by themselves or in their car,
on the street in fresh air, or wearing a mask,
they should just be targets. Just shooting with the biggest
kick gotta hit him with a tank haul. Our vaccines fueling new
COVID variants asks Wall Street Journal.
That was a remember that was the initial complaint amongst the
cognitive senti doctors who were talking about the early vaccines
where you don't vaccinate a population that's already has
has, right it's, yeah, that was you're already infected. And
then you start vaccinating people, you're creating these
areas. Yeah.
Cuz several doctors, the Dutch guy, I think here, what's his
name,
we have a lot of clips on display is over a year, almost
two years ago, and this was the big concern, oh, here
it is play a little bit
to realize that most of the vaccinees that are coming to the
hospital right now, they are still not, you know, the
majority is still not hospitalized. Because Because of
COVID-19. These are typically the patients you know, that are
suffering from other diseases because of I would say immune
suppression due to COVID. So they are hospitalized with COVID
with a number of other diseases. What will happen next, I'll tell
you what will happen next is that finally, these people, you
know, they they are they are a breeding ground for you know,
the more virulent variants of COVID-19 that ultimately win the
virus managers and that will happen manages to overcome the
virulence neutralizing activity that is now exerted by the
infection enhancing antibodies, right with the virus will
overcome that activity, you know, the virulence,
neutralizing or virulence inhibiting activity of these
antibodies, then what we will see all of a sudden, is that the
virus that is highly infectious in those people, you know, will
completely resist any last immune defense against
virulence, and will blow not only through the innate immune
system, but even through the adaptive immune system. And that
is why I'm saying, you know, I, you know, for me, that is not
fun at all to kind of like discriminate vaccines, and my
heart goes out to these people. What I'm telling is that there
is an urgent need an urgent need to make antivirals, you know,
available to these people. And it needs to go very, very fast.
I recommend every everyone who is thoroughly vaccinated,
especially those who got vaccinated early on during the
pandemic, because they had no opportunity to train their
innate immunity, right. And they have, you know, they just have
their vaccine antibodies that will be completely worthless,
and that will even enhance the disease to get, you know, to get
their hands on antivirals, because otherwise, what we are
gonna see, I mean, I've no doubt about this is huge rates of
severe morbidity and mortality to begin with, in people who
have been vaccinated early on in the vaccination program, before
they even had the chance to you know, to be exposed to the virus
and to train them to some extent their innate immunity. That is
what we are going to see.
And sounds like he was kind of right yeah, I
think there was a bunch of guys who said that she had found a
bug with a little known more conciseness Yeah, well, he's
Belgian when he wants
but just to add to that, the NHS chief of Wales so the National
Health System CI CEO chief of Wales has warned people to avoid
specific activities because you know, the our accident and
emergency which is what a&e what they call emergency department
is you know, you're going to cripple them so don't go for
long runs you can't make it up I mean, you Wow,
you really get one it's done move too quickly.
It makes me sad it makes me sad.
You don't seem that sad?
No, you're right you're right. But with that I'd like to thank
you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put
the C in Como to Cordis ladies and gentlemen please say hello
to my friend on the other end Mr. John C.
I'm Karina morning all ships see boots to the ground feet in the
air so it was in the water all the names nice out there
and the morning to march rolls patrol room we've had low count
on trolls. Recently, the trolls, which you can join are in the
troll room, it's very easy to go there. Just type in troll
room.io into any browser and you'll be presented with a
player or two can listen to the stream in real time. That's 24/7
By the way, that's no agenda stream you can find that at no
agenda stream.com And that also has entry right into the chat
right into so you just get in there and boom, you're a troll.
Let's see how many there are down
okay, I didn't get account. What happened?
No, I have no scam becoming more and more skeptical show after
show of the accuracy of this troll rooms. Have a count
mechanism?
1810 for Thursday, yeah. Well remember, we had 1773 six or 70
to 73 On the last episode, so
it was an 1800 In the last episode, actually,
oh, you wrote it down. Oh,
okay. This is reasonable to reasonable it's not good. But
it's reasonable.
Everybody who would like to hang out with the entire community of
you know, 10,000 But really, if you look at the Fetty verse,
it's it's much larger no agenda social.com is where a lot of
these trolls hang out and that is a mastodon server. As you
know, Mastodon 70% is child porn. So that's that's a you see
these reports just come from? Oh, man. Oh, and honestly, I
miss that one.
Oh, it's all over the place child porn mastodon. It was like
big publications. Let me see what I come up with. Is that
Yeah, the mastodon dominated by child pornography. Wow. Yeah.
That's everywhere. It's everywhere. Of course, they'll
do anything. Hey, wait a minute. Wait a minute. We're losing.
We're losing people here. I think Elon Musk maybe even
overplayed his hand to be fair about it. People are kind of
digging the masks
they hate so they hate Tik Tok because they're losing all their
money to Tik Tok. So we're gonna get rid of because it's a better
vehicle for advertising. They're literally taking their now
they're irked about Mastodon because, you know a few people
have gone over there to do their chit chat. As opposed to on
Twitter where you're always gonna get have to listen to Rob
Reiner bitching and moaning about Trump.
Strangely, now I have three places I use Mastodon a no
agenda social.com. I use it at podcast index dot social. I have
a separate account, but man that that flows back and forth. It
doesn't really matter. We were so federated. And then I had my
secret private little instance, which I don't post on at all. I
just follow all of these journos and these
you're gonna have to clue me in this I'll give you an account.
I'll give you an account. You give me an account and I'll go
do the same and we both snicker beacon snigger ganging amongst
ourselves over these idiots.
Yeah, sure, as long as you don't post because then you'll blow
our cover. You know, I mean, if you post from that account, then
we're gonna blow the cover. And then people like Jeff Jarvis
will be on to us. And then the fund will be over. Jeff Jarvis
is a serial booster. He loves he Well, he loves boosting
everybody. Oh, look at this black professor. Yes, yes, we
need to change the fediverse it's racist. It and you'll see
when I'll get you a secret secret account. So you can go to

no but we were blocked early on five years ago. By by because
they said that's a free speech zone free which were to free
speech free speech zone and there's a bunch of Nazi que que
que Quadroon it's in the block document it literally classifies
us as Nazis and keh keh keh Quadra runes
highly quadrants and not Octa runes,
I don't know I have no idea I have no idea
what I'm a Quadroon technically speaking are actually on the
Macedon no agenda social.
Go this unreal deuces for sure. Oh, no, yeah,
there's doses by quadro I
don't think quadrants, those, like I got a message from
someone the other day and it was something like it was from
another from another instance. And the instance and the
instance Adam I know you're the admin have no agenda social.
What is your policy? What is your policy on transphobia with
a link to someone who said, Man, I don't I don't get this people
this trans stuff get it literally was something as
innocuous I don't really understand this transfer. And so
I said, Well, you know, it's it's, uh, I don't see any phobia
there. I don't see any, any extreme fear of trans people. I
didn't hear back but then I saw right away that person posts on
their own account. We have black, no agenda social. I asked
the admin, what their policy was on transphobia and I got the
typical phobia is not irrational fear. So I blocked that that's
how people think. And I'm like, great. We don't want your Dickey
stuff around.
It's lack of dickey. Now. There
you go. Speaking of Dickie, satchel Richards was the title
of no agenda, Episode 1517, which was our last show and we
really want to thank the artist for for this beautiful piece of
work. The artist was brought to us by mountain J. To bring in
the new year with the I guess, of course, January 1, we had to
show but this is the first one of the new New Year, and it was
exactly what we wanted breaking news alert. 2023 is a new year
with fireworks.
Yeah,
I think that came because I'm so tired of people like who is
that?
Everything breaking news at the beginning of every show on Fox?
Who's that?
I forget his name. Who was bless you. The guy who used to be on
Leo all the time. He's the he's I also follow him on my secret
account. Oh, come on. He travels around with his wife. He has no
job. He's
no Yeah, yeah. Like Mike would like last
name. Mike. Man, I'm like I'm scrolling for him now. He's
usually here Mike. Take it
Oh, Mike. Like his wife didn't know mad that day digital nomad.
Yeah, I forget what I was gonna say about him. I was gonna rag
on
it apparently he was on that debt site and you saw a post
from him
what I was gonna say is he's the kind of guy that long Why don't
we know his name? Mike
is blocked now he's Neuro Linguistic Programming is
prevented us Come on.
No, we got it. I follow him. I follow him. I should be able to
find him. And someone helped me l gum there we go Mike Elgin
Elgin. Algum algum Okay, let's see I want to read this it
used to be referred to as gums hell gum in the
aisle maybe he's maybe he's blocked me. Now I can't seem to
find him. Anyway might know blockchain Mike Elgin. Elgin is
Eldon may be Elgin. Elgin. Elgin. Elgin. Okay, here we go.
My dog and I got him. Okay, here he is. Here he is. Break egg.
Amazon cutting 18,000 jobs.
He put breaking in a tweet
BREAKING Trump made $250 million off the January sixth coup
attempt breaking fifth vote for Speaker of the House fails.
braking force vote for Speaker of the House fails. Hey, Mike,
break this. What an irritating thing to do. You're not a news
organization. It's certainly not breaking when you're linking to
the actual site that broke the news. Breaking, you're breaking
my brain breaking.
Well, that's an interesting pet peeve play the Adams pet peeve
jingle that hasn't been played for at least
B's pet D on the day.
Geez.
It's very, it's annoying.
I'm gonna start doing it. So anyway, so this art, which
expressed the complaint about this usage is like breaking Hey,
January 1 is the new year. Oh, that's breaking news. It's a new
year. That's exactly what they would do on Tucker Carlson.
Which is also getting some they lost some producers or writers
over there. I don't know what happened. Something went wrong.
It the talent that goes into putting some of those segments
together is a lot higher end than most of us can imagine.
Yep, I can assure
you, but recently, it's just been pretty bad.
Well, you doesn't take more than one or two guys. It's always
that one guy that You know I've watched this and just to go back
to football I've noticed this there are certain teams and
every year in this that goes through a whole season in the
second half of the game they kick ass because they make
changes in the at the TAF time break and there's one or two
guys that know what how to do this correctly we had this
situation in the University of California where there's this
guy Cortez who went there to coach in the Canadian league he
was the right hand man for the coach and the second half of the
they always just totally kick ass the guy left nobody noticed
he left and no one knew who the guy was that was doing this
because nobody ever gets credit and he leaves the next thing you
know they can't play a second hand they keep they have their
asses handed to him. This is a common problem when you have an
unspoken uncredited the heroes in an organization
we have many heroes just heroes
we have heroes in our organization. So
this credit goes to mountain j and we did have a couple other
things that we considered i Although I liked the mastermind
2023 goals the typewriter stuff it was it was I understand why
it didn't didn't pass your your veto by I did look nice. It was
kind of cool. In veto it You said that's no good.
And never said anything. Okay, I liked that piece. So what the
problem was it was dickory DeVore acting was an illegible
at the bottom. So that's a violation. Yeah. And
it's at the top I don't know what you're saying at the bottom
is nothing at the bottom as of 2023 to do by the mastermind.
No, no, no, no, no, it's the white background. Typewriter.
Oh 2023 goals. Yeah, the Okay,
that went to the 2023 to do I don't even think that was on the
list that hadn't been uploaded
yet was I saw it anyway Kirinda right. No agenda Yeah. And then
you're right this one it was like a half written find exits,
though that I didn't really totally veto it. But you know,
it's gonna say find exit strategy really isn't a no
agenda goal. That's our goal.
been our goal for a while.
It's our goal. Not that no agenda goal so that's not you
know, so that's an accurate so the whole
thing unless someone comes along and buys this show without us.
Now we're stuck with it. Yeah, you're right. But luckily, it's
it's hanging in there. And we'd get we're getting some good
donations on occasion. Today's a pretty good day. And we like
doing it and people really liked this show because we provide the
information as opposed to just gassing. You know, we gas a lot
for hours on end. I was listening to some podcast
recently. That was just the same thing to dipshits yammering
should be the name of the show. Oh,
that's that's good, that domain name to dipshits yammering. But
the problem is most of the shows today are just like it's like
listening to Twitter. It's what I always say. It's like
listening to Twitter, I think I think grew I think Yeah. I think
it's no good. There's very few that are any nose
no good. The number of podcasts that are actually good. Is
probably 20.
Well, unfortunately only on on Spotify, but I will be on Joe
Rogan again this month.
That's a good thing. But you're gonna talk about was Joe gonna
talk about?
I have no idea. We don't discuss that. He just says Hey, happy
new year time for an update. Can you come on the show? What?
Well, he
turns out to be one of the great conversationalist of the world.
100% in EPS Yes, he is a great conversationalist. He may be
surprised himself but how good he is at that. Anyway, I
don't know what to share. He surprised himself.
I mean, I'll talk a lot about this show. Of course. I heard
dynamite it is. I'm talking about podcasting. 2.0 No, come
up with some stuff. If you have any ideas, let me know.
I want you to ask him what he thinks about being he's been in
Texas now long enough that he should have some opinions. Okay.
Whenever I asked what they are
we always I love it. He's I love it here. If I just asked him
informally to I'd probably have to be a little more specific.
But you take away from us the word take away so you sound like
a douche. What's your take away from being in Texas? Yeah, do
it.
No, I'm not gonna do that. Oh, I all right. So thank you very
much mountain J for your contribution in our value for
value model if you want to learn about that leap
by the way she's now leading is lately in the race for most the
artist of the year, next year or a year
value for value dot info if you want to catch on and within this
within this queue, a brand new donation page which with the
fact it's going to explain everything's going to be
fantastic. Yep. Time talent treasure is what it's all about.
If you get any kind of value from this program because you
know maybe we're not used to like gassing on you say all I
learned something like maybe I should invest in heat pumps.
Maybe I should do that. What I found from this, there's a whole
roll up of local H vac installers going on right now.
I don't know what H back is H vac.
The HVAC, air conditioning? Air conditioning? H O H fac? Yeah,
sure. Yeah. There's a roll up like the companies are being
purchased the small companies being purchased left and right.
Oh, that means you're gonna jack up the price. Hello. What
happened to the veterinarians around the country? They started
buying up all these little vets and then these big operations
came in and now I'd like to get your dog looked at it costs like
200 bucks.
Yeah, just to look well, I'm not around here yet. Now, we just
got to vet. You know, the guy you take. You take care of
recurrently your horse you take your beard. Yeah, I
know that. That's the old fashioned vet. Guy. The one guy
in town. He knows what he's doing. He's like, he knows
everything. Yeah, and he's reasonable and he's got he's got
businesses not an issue doesn't have to starve to death. He's
not starving to death. But they could they go after everyone
these big operations.
So we also want to thank the producers, specifically the
executive producers who came in with their the treasure part of
the time, talent and treasure and we do that now. In our first
segment and we kick it off with Jane Dame Julie bunny, Judy,
Dame Julie bunny, is she already named let me see as she's from
Rockford, Illinois. $1,000 So this may be an instant Daming.
Let's see it's her handwritten note. That's a switcheroo as
well darlings darlings Dame Julie bunny, the hosta fairy and
from Rockford Illinois, making a very late birthday donation to
my husband and lover John, who shares a birthday with John
Seaton for RAC. And with the same first name isn't that
weird? When she birthday?
April 5,
I hit him hard in the mouth at the beginning of the plan demic
and he's and he's never missed an episode become a loyal troll
is on his New Year's resolution list and probably the only
resolution he has the Christmas night to be desired to be
knighted John The undie deducible if that's not taken,
he'd like a full bottle of canard Duchesne with lobster.
Tell us about the canard. Duchesne
that's canard do Shan dad is like yeah, she stomped a few
sparkling wine
dumped him.
She stomped. canard is like what? Yeah, do duck and Shin is
dog. Duck dog. What's the name of those details from it's
not any it's not sure it's not dog like Shin it's Duchenne d u
c h e n e. canard Duchesne canard dash Duchenne and with
lobster and an epi pen.
Because it's a good idea. Okay.
All right. Epi pen. I don't know do we? Do we have the heaviest
one? Oh, maybe cold duck I think might be what we're referring
to. That's the I couldn't remember it. But that was a
cheap champagne used to be sold all over the country on or if
you remember it now called Cold duck or something like that. And
it was just junk. I can't afford anything more than precise like
It's like cooks. Prosecco is a good product by the way.
And so Okay, so this is a switcheroo. So we need to put a
lover John in there and he will be the John The undoable now she
she asked for a couple of ICS please can he have an ISO she
lists a number here? I believe every word which I don't believe
we have hail science of these ISOs that we've had that you are
familiar with. Hit Oh wait. I'm sorry. There is a science. No,
not okay.

don't think so.
I don't have believe No, I do not have a believe every word 33
everywhere. 33 everywhere. No, but that doesn't exist. Oh,

know what I stand corrected. You have been lied to, and they need
the money, but illicit

see this. I looked like they need the money I don't have. And
then of course we have the final one I I Call Bull crap I Call
Bull crap. We got those. All right, we got the Hey, thank you

into the switcheroo. So it will be John D and D do Chable Okay,

next one.
Yes. Jacob Graham's blur on Frank Franklin, Tennessee. I
would like to de douching since this is my first donation
you've been deed deuced

away cash to finally give back Valley for everything you both
have given me. Nice. I figured what better way to start off the
new year with a donation of crackpot and buzzkill officially
beginning my journey to knighthood I've been doing my
best to punch people in the mouth here in Franklin,
Tennessee. And I think it is starting to stick with some
folks. A hearty in the Morning Joe Biden whole load and some

Quinton Wells is from Cisco, Texas. 347 Thank you so much
last donation for Pay Pal made me a night but I had a problem.
Everybody used to call me Q. But the 2020 elections and following
craziness of the Q anon movement has tainted that nickname, but
I'm going with Circu of the Eastern County. The most
important thing I would like to say to you both is since
listening to you, I've made drastic lifestyle changes. While
now I moved from a nice college city with a good state job but
no ambition. I then moved to a small town where I garden, raise
animals and know all my neighbors. I have a better sense
of myself and what I can accomplish. Much of this has to
do with your deconstruction of the lies in the media. I'd
fallen for him lies your work is important. And I'm happy to
support the best podcast in the universe. Thanks Quinton wells
and you will be bestowed with the title Quinton. Thank you.
That's a beautiful note that it really it means so much when
people say that. I have to question it. Did this little
podcast really make that difference? That he merely the
move to the left? Did you hit your head? He left the city his
head left a good job in the city.
Move to a little town working for the man every night and day.

for supporting us here at the no agenda Show episode 15.
Our formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth.
So I was interested in discussing this McCarthy thing.
Oh, good, because I have really stayed away for it for my own
sanity.
Well, it does turn out to be an international story for some
reason, because I think the liberal media is promoting it
overseas, that we're all screwed up because of these Republicans.
Well, you are correct, because I always check the Dutch
newspapers every morning. And it's filled with this story. And
the reason is because the dots all the journalists over there
do what's the headline in the New York Times, let me just
translate it. I'll plug it in the chat GPT and I'll go have
some tea. There's no journalists anymore, they just repeat
whatever is being done in the media in the USA.
They're being written on many times just to repeat what
they're told to repeat. So let's go with France. 24 and this is
the discussion they're having about and I thought this was an
interesting little because this brought to mind I finally found
by the way why this is going on. As opposed to what everyone else
thinks is it is and the real answer is coming outta T's I
otherwise I wouldn't be doing this at all because I thought it
was stupid Clifford I would have been like you said but here we
go. This France 24 They're coming out of a Republican Who's
saying, you know that well, he's trying to make some heads or
tails out of and then they throw it to a Democrat that's in
France he's he's part of some commie people call me he's you
know he's he's just a guy and you know he's one of the guys
it's American in France but it let's go firstly for
Mike Elgin basically
no yeah, it would be exactly looks a little like an admission
Here we go. I like
the Forgive me using the word spin you put on this thing that
they're trying to toughen up McCarthy it's an interesting way
to put it. I'm not quite sure whether people will agree with
you. Joe Biden calls it on the batsman, Fred Hoffman,
representing the Democrats abroad. Your take on the
situation is tough, not McCarthy, or is it chaos within
the Republican Party?
What's your take chaos? How about governing, being at the
forefront instead of just talking about 2024 already. The
American public is looking for people to govern. And if this is
the way that there's been two months that they've had to try
to get from McCarthy to get votes for a journey for one more
day, it's not going to change anything. They don't want him
they don't trust him. They don't like him. And what I find really
interesting is they nominated two different people yesterday,
Jim Jordan and someone else I can't even remember not
important. And now Donald's today, and it's kind of like,
well, let's just fling you know, something at the wall and have
it stick. Maybe this person will get elected. There's no
strategy. I mean, how can that be possible in the government in
the Republican Party that there's absolutely no strategy.
Randy says it's
toughening up McCarthy getting into be more focused getting him
toughened up Do you Do you accept what Randy said?
I don't think so. I think he's weak I don't think anything's
gonna make him tougher and he's not going to get he's not going
to win that's the whole thing he's going to hold off for so
long the the law and boulevards and the matki all these
different people that are not well Matt case actually
supported him others they're not going to vote for him and so I
don't see where this is gonna go and if they want to nominate
someone else fine but it's kind of like they're just getting
like well who's the flavor Oh, today you know that we're going
to have and for me, it is an embarrassment and it's horrible
for the American public because they expect the government to to
govern and the Republicans have been promising how they were
going to get things done. How are they gonna get things done
if they can't even elect the speaker and allow their members
to be sworn in?
Because the kind of whining that you're hearing the American
public doesn't even know this is going on in general. I don't
think any no
kidding me this this is all this that's being discussed
everywhere on Twitter on Facebook, every every
American and breaking mericans is bullcrap. I don't care let
them take their time if it takes them you know, a month to get
the right value if I'm
if I may. I really do. Watch this. I do watch this. Now this
Yes, I do. This has consumed all media. So whether people care
about it or not. It's unavoidable that they hear about
it. It's everywhere top of the list for whatever insane reasons
the most important story breaking in America today.
So you don't think so? Because out here on the West Coast. Is
this storm? No.
Okay. Because right now, all right climate
and you read about the storm there too. But bees, okay, let's
it's getting a lot of attention. There's no doubt about that,
because it's another way they can try to embarrass the
Republican Party. And, but then they go on, I listened to the
PBS reports and go to the typical responses. Well, here's
the problem. McCarthy. He's not he's spending like they were
Democrats. And if they could just stop spending money and he
makes a point of saying I'm gonna stop spending money, then
they'll get him in immediately and he'll go right in. This lot
of this doesn't make any sense until I finally found I can't I
hate to say this. I found somebody who seemed to be on the
on point with why they're not going to let the world and I
voted this guy in and I think I found it on NTD. Sorry to say
this is the the Okay, and it's in the second clip, but let's
play clip one McCarthy. One
leadership of the House remains in limbo after Republican Leader
Kevin McCarthy failed to win after three votes in the race
for House Speaker. The house is set to reconvene right about now
to try to resolve the deadlock among internal opponents is
Representative Bob good of Virginia's Fifth District. We
spoke with the congressman and his position
that we need to move past Kevin McCarthy. He doesn't have the
votes. He's not going to have the votes. He's got some 20 or
so that are hard nosed against him. I think you may see someone
else emerge today and the fourth ballot, the first ballot that we
have afternoon today, or perhaps on the fifth ballot, I think
gonna see more individuals, members of Congress willing to
vote against Kevin McCarthy. He's part of the problem he's
not part of the solution pass history is the best indicator of
what future performance will be. He has contributed to how we got
to 32,000. Or excuse me $32 trillion in national debt. He
has contributed the fact that Congress has a 20% approval
rating 80% of the country thinks we're on the wrong track. We
can't do what we've always done, done and expect we're gonna get
a different result.
Who is this talking?
is one of the congressmen that votes against McCarthy. But he's
not with me ask questions, because you're going to reveal
this. I'm very excited. Now he is a California Republican,
correct. McCarthy. McCarthy is yes. Okay. So that's right
there. That's problem. No one trusts a Republican from
California anymore.
When I got in as he has to be a Democrat, yeah. Yeah, that
would, that would be true. That's what I was thinking. So
let's go. And we finally bring this guy in who's wrote the book
or one of the books, the plot against Trump or something, and
this guy's good. And he brings, he just makes it, it becomes
clear as mud when this next guy comes on and actually explains
what's going on with the people did the 20 hold outs, which are
all, many of them are new Republicans who would try it,
they tried to screw over and bobberts in this group. Yeah.
And they tried to get her out of office. And they tried to do
this and get back to her. And she's not happy about the
Republican Party, the old old guard didn't help her much let's
go with. And so they want to end this, they don't like anything
that's going on. So let's go with McCarthy, McCarthy to clip
and this, I think, is the key to understanding this. If we get
some analysis on the reason for the opposition, and the
negotiations taking place. Joining us now is Lee Smith,
columnist and author of the plot against the president. He's also
the host of over the target on Epic TV.
Thanks Great to be here.
As always, House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy only received 202
votes of the 280 needed to become speaker in the house for
the third vote. What are the main reasons for the opposition
and McCarthy becoming speaker among Republicans?
Well, my sense of it is speaking with some, some former
congressional officials, including some investigators up
there, a lot of people are concerned they want power to go
into these different investigations. And they look at
the rules that Kevin McCarthy submitted at the beginning, the
beginning of this week, and they're not satisfied, they see
that McCarthys has not granted enough power to committee
chairs, for them to be able to investigate different things the
Biden administration has been doing, and stuff that law
enforcement authorities have been doing targeting Republican
voters, the Republican base. And so Republican representatives
are keen to make sure that they do have enough as much power as
possible to hold accountable the people who have been hunting
their base for the last two years.
So some of these investigations are part of the holdup, what can
you tell us about the negotiations that are happening
here?
The people who went out there in the beginning, they said, We're
not going to vote from McCarthy, they can't walk it back without
getting major concessions. So they have to figure out a way
the, you know, the Republicans have to figure out a way to be
able to use, they have be able to use this Congress, which they
lead as an instrument to, you know, not only to investigate
not only to go after the Biden administration, but to answer to
the needs of the people, the men and women, the Americans who put
them in Congress.
Oh, okay. So he submitted, he's weak, he's weak, he was weak. He
wants to actually govern instead of investigate. Well, that will
not stand. What a politician's for there to have to investigate
each other.
Well, it gets even more interesting and kind of sketchy
with the third clip.
They just hold McCarthy's feet to the fire. Make sure that the
Republicans get what they get what they need to be a sharp
instrument. The main thing that people tell me that they want is
investigations of the FBI, but they will need that power. And
they need McCarthy to give them that power. And without it,
they're not going to be able to investigate the FBI, or the
Biden's properly.
Well, no wonder
no one no
wonder Oh, so McCarthy, what is it? Does he have an intelligence
background or anything like that?
I don't think so. But like he's obviously part of the you know,
he's been FBI blackmail. I mean, they're, he's, he's obviously
supposed to be a blockade to keep this from happening. And
probably the Hunter Biden laptop would never be fully
investigated. If McCarthy gets in with his certain with the
rules that he set up. So the whole thing is about the about
Republicans. Revenge, it's a revenge play week. We can't be
pushed around like this and, and almost screwed over, we almost
didn't even get the house back thanks to the situation of which
is corrupt and we want to look into it. And there's a bunch of
guys that want to look into it. They want to look into this.
They want to look into that and they want to do it with some
with some teeth. They don't want to just be a bunch of just a
typical weenies. You know, like they want something like the
January 6 committee gets a lot of coverage on TV. It doesn't
have anybody on the other side that to cross examine. It's a
It's rigged. That's what they want.
This is very interesting. I use a search engine called Neva. A
familiar with this is the X the X talked about, yeah, the X
Google Search guy, he set that up. So I always use it because I
just don't want Google to pay for this. So I'm going to
presume that they're not lying and that a lot of my stuff.
That's a stretch what they it has at the top of every search
Neva AI answer, and it's typing and so they're ahead of being.
And here's what's interesting. House Minority Leader, Kevin
McCarthy has called for a church style investigation. That's when
I did Senator Kevin McCarthy FBI question mark. If I just say
Senator Kevin McCarthy, I get to a an AI answer who Neva AI is
analyzing webpages getting the answer for you. Oh, shit. Oh,
yeah. No, it's what it says. And even but it gives me the links.
It says this answer was generated by Neva AI using the
following websites, ABC news.google.com and pbs.org.
Kevin McCarthy has Republican political politician from
California. But he was elected. Okay, he has recently failed in
two rounds of voting to become House Speaker, your old news,
your fake news at six rounds. Interesting that they are
interesting. They're using AI. So they're, they're trying to
get a jump on it? Well, even more funny is something we have
discussed here about this speaker of the house roll
new members of Congress cannot be sworn in until a speaker is
elected. There's no rule requiring the speaker to be a
current member of Congress. But experts say bringing in an
outsider is an unlikely option. The problem here
is, you know this,
this group of you know sort of malcontents they sort of dead
end or they don't trust anybody. So they certainly aren't going
to trust an outsider. And the kind of person that from the
outside that they might have would be, I think overwhelmingly
opposed by, you know, an overwhelming majority of the
Republican caucus.
I mean, you and I could be Speaker, if we had the boats.
Yeah, we've discussed this before during the Pelosi
discussion. Now. It's possible for the following if you could
get like 50 Republicans to go in on some out of office, neutral
person that may be a Republican, but a super mild one a weenie.
And then the Democrats just turn all their votes over to that
person because the Democrats are voting on this too. Yeah. And in
fact, the leading vote getters is Hakeem Jeffries. He's got 212
votes, but he can't possibly get the full thing because the
Republicans are gonna vote for him. But they could give her it
could be something this could happen.
What could happen outside
I think out of out of state as it were.
There's only one candidate Trump, of course
you make. Democrats will vote for Trump and so they
do the do they need to dumb if they all voted yes. For Trump,
which they won't do. They have enough votes.
Yes, the Republicans have enough votes to put anybody in. But the
number of Republicans that even though they did actually might
here's, here's what's interesting. Like most of the
Republicans, current Republicans in the House are not going to
vote for Trump. They don't like him. Right. But we don't know
that for sure. So it would be interesting to bring trump up
for a vote, just to see who those Republicans are. Just to
see.
Yeah. Now Now you're talking. That's a good idea.
Now, they won't do that, because I can't take a chance. But I
think it'd be great to do that. So what we can Albert would
would could implement that she'd vote for him.
Right? What we're learning is that the the 12 What is it or
six or how many 2822? There's 20 to 20.
Missing between, he's missing between 10 and votes and now
it's I think it's not a turn to whatever the you need 218 to win
it on. He's in the 200 range in the end these 20 are not there
was a big fuss made on by Joy read on her show. I learned
right This has never happened before. Because this is our
stupid the Republicans are it never happened to Nancy Pelosi,
for example. She's the greatest ever and she goes on and on
about Nancy Pelosi, she says and then she sewed all the votes for
Pelosi when Pelosi was getting in. She has such a huge
majority. Now. Democrats, she didn't need everybody to vote
yes. In fact, endure more than a couple of occasions where more
than 20 Democrats did not vote for her either. Right. And we're
only talking about 20.
Well, that 20 who are voting no. are clearly Q anon. How come
they haven't brought this up yet? Yeah. And this is if I'm
just going to shift now. I think
you had Marjorie Taylor Greene is probably Q anon for sure.
Well, let's just talk about this for a second Q anon has arisen
as the new slur conspiracy theorist is out. It's
overplayed. It's boring. A lot of the conspiracy slang
and call me that earlier today. What? Cute. That was a q&a on or
something when I said yeah, got what it
was. And but this is this is the new term. This is the new new
term conspiracy. God sounds good. Conspiracy Theory theorist
is just out because a lot of the conspiracy theorists were right.
You know, you can say, hey, vaccines don't work. Okay,
you're right. You can go in and say you will but they did
prevent you from getting really sick and dying. So that's not
provable by the way. They brought in the Q anon term. I
would like to ask you. What is the genesis of Q anon? If you if
someone said, if someone and Marjorie Taylor Greene Q Anon,
what does that mean? What does Q anon mean? Where does it come
from? And and what is q anon explain it?
Well, I think Q comes from the Star Trek character from The
Next Generation didn't be honest about it. I don't know if you're
not going to take my question. Seriously. No, I can't answer
it. Yes, you can.
Q Anon, there was Q. Q. And the people who followed Q or Q anon
during this during Donald Trump's presidency, yes. Yeah.
q1 And then for channel eight channel everywhere. Q was
supposed to be someone on the inside on the on the plane with
Trump dropping proofs. And right, yeah, right. That's what
Q anon was. Yeah, that's what it was. But the description of Q
anon has changed drastically into a complete lie. And I have
to play just like a minute and a half of this NPR report about a
popular yoga guru, who was planning on killing
her story at the
US Capitol two years ago, we've learned a lot about Q anon. It's
a baseless conspiracy theory rooted in anti semitic tropes
about elites worshipping Satan and drinking children's blood.
Now is this is this Q anon? Is this word Q was no that's not
true.
No, it's a lie. Is what you do this how you do it. This is like
a psyop.
Yes, thank you think. So I'll play that. I'll play that again.
So they're going to discredit this by the way this woman died.
I think she died some yoga teacher died and she died. This
is a story about a dead yoga teacher. So it's great. You can
just say q or nonsense the
insurrection at the US Capitol two years ago, we've learned a
lot about Q anon. It's a baseless conspiracy theory
rooted in anti semitic tropes about elites worshipping Satan
and drinking children's blood.
Oh, I Stopstopstop. I have to ask the chat. Ai. What is Q
anon? Okay. Ooh, yeah, here we go.
Let's find K K. K.
I'm sorry. But I don't have enough information to determine
when you're asking about Q anon. Could you provide some context
or comment on and try to what is the Q? Q Anon, and we do I'll do
I'll double up conspiracy theory. Okay, let's see what
what I get now. Q anon is a far right conspiracy theory that
originated in 2017. It alleges that a secret cabal of high
ranking officials and celebrities is engaged in global
child sex trafficking ring and that President Donald Trump is
secretly working to expose and dismantle this Cabal. Q anon
followers believe that a person or group only known only as Q is
providing them with secret information about this alleged
cabal and the efforts to take it down. Well, that's that's kind
of expanded. That's not bad. It's not bad at all. It's not
bad way to go. Chet. You're better than NPR.
And while the Q anon movement is most closely identified with the
far right, it is also found in yoga and wellness circles, of
course, it's like
in
in wellness and yoga circles. Oh, yeah. We know what's next
functional medicine. Why don't you just say go and
wellness circles. I was like all in a yoga teacher that talked
like that. That was real. That was grounded. I knew instantly
This is my teacher,
Jacqueline gal but began taking yoga classes with guru Jagat
back in 2013. She told me that Guru Jagat had occasional We
talked about conspiracies before the pandemic. But as it
progressed, she began to speak more openly.
This is engineered by the government. There's a reason
they need to keep us at home. You need to be looking at that.
And she said, This is what you get for spending the weekend on
YouTube watching alien videos. And I mean, that caught my
attention because it was like, Oh, she's falling into rabbit
holes.
In the beginning of the pandemic, Guru Jagat suggested
specific foods, yoga poses and breathing exercises to stay
healthy.
Oh, what a crazy idea. That's actually more than your
government did for you.
But over time, she began to defy local stay at home orders.
Here's garbage I get teaching maskless and in person in late
May 2020,
maskless. And in person What a horrible Q anon Oh, no. Less
mask less.
Here's garbage. I get teaching maskless and in person in late
May 2020, and a class that was later shared on Instagram.
We know how that AI technology where they know how to control
your mind.
In December 2020 Guru Jagat invited a well known conspiracy
theorist and anti Semite, to come speak
when she brought in David Icke. I mean, that just was not
something that the the woman I knew before would do. That was
so deeply offensive,
among other things. That reptilian extraterrestrials
control the world. By the time guru Jagat interviewed him on
her podcast in January 2021. He'd been banned from Twitter
for spreading falsehoods about COVID.
And he's a known anti Semite, which is bullshit. I've never
heard him say,
No, he's not. No, but here's what's interesting. If you could
get David Icke to show up at a yoga class,
no, I think when what you meant is she just started by like
talking about and I don't think he came to her yet.
A shame that would be great. Yeah. I mean, I think David
Ickes an interesting character. We both do.
The best, we followed him forever. I
would think, you know, dude, why would you be deeply offended?
It's like, just fascinating more than it is offensive, or I'm so
offended that brains a lizard cares.
As your opening?
Really? Oh, that's
great. Yeah. It's, it's, it's, I'm glad that they changed it so
that we are actually at ground zero of this trope, which will
will last for quite a while I'm sure. And it'll, it'll morph
even more. But I remember when I think it was during it was a
question Trump he was out on stage. It was it was for NBC a
thing was, you know, like a town hall on an unfettered networks.
And we have a clip of it that we do. And he was and it was like,
Well, you know, this is about Democrats eating babies or
something like that. Obviously,
dad, he passed it off to
Yeah, I was never find it. Not not easily. You might, but it's
okay. And let me see Trump to maybe NBC three.
Know, mica, maybe it was a town hall with Mica.
I wanted to describe a candidate to you.
Oh, please it anyway. Sounds good.
I wanted to describe a candidate to you. The candidate is
considered a political outsider by all the pundits, he's tapping
into the anger of the voters delivers a populist message he
believes everyone in the country should have health care.
No, I wish I could find it. It was in Britain. I wasn't Brian
Stelter. Oh, here it is Q anon question for Trump. Maybe this
is
during the pandemic, the Q anon movement has been appears to be
gaining a lot of followers.
Can you talk about what you think about that? And what you
have to say to people who are following this movement right
now?
Well, I don't know much about the movement other than I
understand they liked me very much. Which I appreciate, but I
don't know much about the movement. I have heard that it
is gaining in popularity.
No, it was this one was Savannah, here it is. I found
it.
Let me ask you about Q anon. It is this theory that Democrats
are a satanic pedophile ring and that you are the savior of that.
And I remember what this is completely made up. At that
point. It would none of that was in play with Q anon that I can
remember.
Do you I think you're right. I think you're right. This is
through this. Yeah. This is like all the genesis of what we see
today, and
I think that we was episode Ah, back a while. Yes back a while.
1518 Actually, I have no no no this is let's
play the rest of it. Now can you just once and for all state that
that is completely not true about you and on in its
entirety?
I know nothing about a q&a. I just know very little you told
me but what you tell me this doesn't necessarily make it fact
I hate to say that. I know nothing about it. I do know they
are very much against pedophilia. They find it very
hard, but I knew nothing. Run by the DEA. I'll tell you what I do
know,
NPR mister, they miss the satanic cult run by the deep
state. They missed it.
Run by the DEA.
I'll tell you what I do know about. I know about Antifa. And
I know about the radical left and I know how violent they are
and how vicious they are. And I know how they are burning down
cities run by Democrats.
Senator Ben Sasse said quote Q anon is nuts and real leaders
call conspiracy theories. Conspiracy Theory.
Maybe writing I just don't know about you. And you know, I don't
know. No, I don't know. I don't know. Let's waste the whole
show.
How embarrassing for Savannah Guthrie that she did that. was
terrible. Just real embarrassed.
She's no different today. No, she's kind of a ding. Wit. Calm,
just a dingbat, but she's not a dingbat. She's a dimwit. It's
different.
So I'm going to shift gears before we take our second break
to Russia. We are at peak Zelinsky. I guess at this point,
you know, we just can't I mean, once you've spoken in the before
both houses of the US government, how much more can
you do? We do have a report from the Bubba Gump the auntie BBC,
which details and translates President Putin's New Year's Eve
address
plan Russia President Putin also made his New Year address and
spoke about the war. He tells soldiers that historical
righteousness was on their side.
Because up in the elite they get their military mariners every
three years
the Western elites have hypocritically assured us of all
their peaceful intentions, including the resolution of the
difficult conflict in Donbass. In reality, they will fully
encouraging Neo Nazis to continue to carry out military
and blatantly terrorist actions against peaceful citizens of the
Donbass People's Republics row. The West lied about peace. I got
those preparing for aggression. You see, today, they're not
ashamed to admit it openly. And they cynically use Ukraine and
its people to weaken and divide Russia. We have never allowed
anyone to do that. We will not allow anyone to do that.
You come on your house presentational here in the UK,
the war crimes prosecutor who led the case against Slobodan
Milosevic, has called for Mr. Putin to be tried for crimes
against humanity this year. Nice who worked with the
International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia told
the BBC that the case against Mr. Putin couldn't be clearer.
And that civilian targets should never be bombed or otherwise
attacked.
So let's not responsible what he said. Let's just say we gotta we
gotta throw him in jail. International Criminal Court.
Didn't Slobodan Milosevic die in sitting in court? Oh, I forget
how one of those guys did. One of the one of those guys does
you know, one of those guys died in literally in the court. I
thought it was so let me see. When he died, can't find it.
Can't type fast enough. So Well, here's the BBC on this with us
short, short roundup of what Zelinsky said during his New
Year's speech.
Hello, and welcome to BBC World News. We start with a fallout
from Ukrainian rocket attack in the occupied region of Donbass,
which Ukraine claims killed 400 Russian troops. Russia puts the
number of dead much lower just 63 service personnel but Russian
politicians are calling for their own military commanders to
be held accountable for the deaths. It comes as Ukraine's
President Lansky says intelligence suggests Russia
plans to continue its drone attacks as a concerted effort to
exhaust and demoralize Ukraine. We have
information that Russia is planning a protracted attack
using showerhead drones. It is probably banking on exhaustion,
exhausting our people are anti aircraft defences, our energy,
we act and do everything so the terrorist fail in their aim as
all their others have failed.
I don't want to say too much about Naevus AI but I typed in
Slobodan Milosevic and I got an AI answer. That's all I typed
in. Slobodan Milosevic, Yugoslav Serbian politician served as
President of Serbia blah robber, he was found dead in his prison
cell in 2006. There you go, because it's dead in the prison
cell. And I might as well unless you have something,
but I should mention that this this situation they're talking
about this is kind of interesting comes up all the
stories mentioned it is like it's like a piece of NLP or I'm
not sure why they're doing this. It's an OP. Ed, everything's
off to you
your that you said it first on the show.
So is this this is this trope that, oh, the Russian troops are
wiped out because they're all yammering on their cell phones.
Have you heard this? No, no,
I haven't. Yeah, that's for more than one or two reports. The
bunch of Russians were killed, because, and the generals are
all irked about them, because they were on their cell phones,
and they was giving away their position, because we've got some
technology or who knows what, and they just bombed the hell
out of where the cell phone signal was coming from. Sounds
sketchy. But sounds sketchy. But why do they keep telling us the
story where I said something to get new service? Are we supposed
to get a Pixel phone? Or is there something coming out from
Apple, or new
secure phone from Apple calling something like movie is their
Mission Impossible
movie about phones? Well, I got a
report from wi O N, which is the Indian news. And that's what
we're really up to over there. We'll
move on. Let's take you to Europe, where US troop
deployment and Romania serves a dwell purpose of sending out a
warning to Moscow while boosting morale among NATO allies in
Southeast Europe to hold the lie. It is the first time since
the Second World War 75 years ago that the US Army's 101
Airborne Division has returned to Europe to divisions a rare
presence is just a few miles from the Ukrainian border with
Romania. And as a clear indication that Washington is
aiming to support NATO Allies without being directly involved
in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. US troops are training
at an airbase in Romania in the northern part of the country.
Soldiers from both countries participated in drills fired
artillery launched helicopters and dug trenches near the
frontlines in her suit. The troop deployment underlines a
warning sign to Moscow that the US will defend every inch of
NATO territory I pledge President Biden because we
iterated often in recent days, but without tempting Russia into
escalating the war. The joint exercises are also a way to
ensure that other troops in Southeast Europe can hold ground
if it comes to it. However, it remains unclear what footprint
will the US Army keep at the base. The decision will soon be
made by the Pentagon as to whether to maintain the number
of troops and senior commanders or bring the number down.
Here we've got the 100 and first airborne hanging out there
digging trenches in Europe. Yeah, hell
remind you of anything? Oh, man. Well, let's just stick in Europe
for a moment because it's falling apart. We talked about
Croatia, joining the Schengen zone. They also joined the euro
and I was able to obtain a report,
though I don't know that they joined the euro did day. Yes,
yes. So the Schengen zone. I don't know. I think it's I've
never had any trouble going in and out of Croatia.
Well, no, but it's just a gimme. It's just a part of joining the
Euro zone and Mel. This is interesting report.
Croatia has dropped his currency that Kuno to adopt the Common
European currency, the euro. The Balkan nation becomes the 20th
member of the Euro so Croatia had to meet strict economic
conditions to join European Commission president Ursula von
der Leyen traveled to Zagreb to mark the occasion. Croatia also
became the 27th member of the passport free Schengen zone
which allows more than 400 million people to move freely
through his borders. And so even how significant is this switch
to the euro for Croatia and its actual economy? Yes, quite
meaningful. If you look at the you mentioned the Schengen
milestone list, the two big milestones that are happening
today both have fraud remittance ramifications for their economy,
the hope is that by with reducing the friction on
businesses and service sectors, especially the first sector,
which is the most important branch your information that
that will help increase business for this nation. So it is no
small thing at all. He talked to the central bank governor here
and he said that it also was afforded for borrowing costs by
hitching their wagon essentially to a more as a larger more
stable point that their their risk premiums essentially for
borrowing go down and that is also a benefit to Croatia. So
there's a lot of hope that this will bring in it's offer in a
lot more business and a lot more hospital is the lease from a
political level. For those who made this decision, one promo
for these in here quite often here is that it was really a
decision that was left out of the people's hands of the
politicians later. But obviously, there is some
excitement about what's going on
none of what
guy's going on like a maniac.
Oh, he's given the DT
sauce. Okay, so a lot of excitement. But you mentioned
grumbling, what is the nature of the grumbling? Who are these
critics? What are they saying?
Who are these people grumbling?
grumbler. Well, in addition to those who say that the decision
itself was left out of their hands, we know that some critics
say that economically, this doesn't make sense for a small
country like Croatia. This is a country that is in many ways
because here's with a lot of other European nations quite
well being at debt levels. We look at growth focus and turning
especially after the pandemic. But when you look at wages, it's
actually one of the lowest This is a small economy, 4 million
people and the force, this country no longer has to solve
its currency. I should say cannot devalue the currency go
strengthen it artificially as economic times it's up. Instead
it's worth 20 nations that has to work together to make a
decision in Frankfurt the European Central ministers are
mostly going to fall to the bigger nations but Germany's
Frances and have more I know
as you guys are knowing now it's a little NLP going on there with
the use of the word which you got nothing to do with anything.
They use the word to describe the euro as stable coin. Did you
hear that? I
sure did. I'm glad you picked up on it. He said it twice. He said
at the end of that report to which I didn't play because it
was too annoying. Yeah, stable coins. The euro is now
officially a stable coin. Or maybe the digital euro will be a
stable coin. Hmm.
Very curious report that guy somes rollin him.

I'm gonna show my school by Jonah to no agenda. Imagine all
the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
and we do have a few people to thank for show 1518 I want to
mention I just found a newsletter. And I sent out a
second little note here. What
happened? What happened with the first one? Well, the
first one it was not getting the open rate. Yeah, it was a couple
of things. open rate was one of them. But But the second note
was really weird. And I ended like everyone wrote me about
this, like Brave Writer writer, the link to the to the first
newsletter, which was a MailChimp link. I cut and pasted
from the actual link. And I took out the question mark addendum,
which is you can do it in most URLs, because it's just bullcrap
to track you. And I took it. I never checked it per save. And I
have no I refreshed the patient. So yeah, there was the same
thing without the question mark plus, and and then I put in a
newsletter, and in the newsletter it linked to Deadline
magazine. How did that happen? Well, I would like to know that
myself because I didn't have deadline magazine on my pages. I
never look at deadline magazine. So I have to assume that
MailChimp was storing deadline magazine and somehow or some way
perhaps one of the dike the last number on the database. Suddenly
they just maybe it got accidentally erased when I
erased the question mark and it went to Deadline magazine. I'm
not sure. But I just asked. Everybody wrote in. That's
right, you idiot. So it's just done on purpose of just some
sort of off What are you doing this why you're sending us the
deadline magazine. Other off there you go up. Christine in

you got?
And then I got another tribute to Judy Woodruff was folded.
barely hold it together.
No, no, I think I think you've nailed it with a very, very
interesting episod I think that's good.
Okay, that settles that. I do have one clip I want to play for
sure. Okay. So there was you know, these these you've heard
about this in Washington State to somebody blew up a power
distribution center. That's another one. They do have four
of them. There's like terrorists. Yes. domestic
terrorist. Yes, yes, I have heard this. Okay, well, they
finally found that guys, and it didn't turn out to be much of a
domestic terrorist at all. These are in the clip is called idiots
and power stations. Two men
have been arrested and charged with vandalizing electrical
substations in Washington State attacks that left 1000s without
power over the holidays. Matthew Greenwood and Jeremy cran were
arrested on Saturday. A newly unsealed complaint charges both
was conspiracy to damage energy facilities, and it charged
Greenwood with possession of a short barreled rifle and a short
barreled shotgun. According to the complaint, Greenwood told
investigators that the two knocked out power so they could
burglarize a business and steal from the cash register. The
business was not identified in the complaint. Cell phone
location data and other evidence tied them to the attacks on the
four substations in Pierce County. officials have warned
that the US power grid needs better security to prevent
domestic terrorism after a large outage in North Carolina last
month took days to repair. conspiracy to attack energy
facilities is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.
Possession of an unregistered firearm is punishable by up to
10 years.
Oh okay, hold on. Can I ask a question? So they took out power
stations to steal cash cash from a store
yes and probably an electric cash register that wouldn't open
without power but here we go pay claim what do you think we ought
to be doing here? I got that place I know he's got a burglar
alarm. Well I don't know this is blocked the power station and
then and then NATO that'll take care of the problem well, which
power station I don't know. There's four of them around
here. Let's just blow them up and then we can go in there and
we can get the cash out at the register this kind of dumb fucks
they have up in Washington How
about this? This is not true. This is not what was going on?
Excellent
