No Agenda - 1656 - "Johnson Pivot" Transcript and Discussion (2024)

Starting point is 00:00:00 I don't know how the cat got in there. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Thursday, May 2nd, 2024. This is your award-winning Give On Nation Media assassination episode 1656. This is no agenda. Replaying history and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry.

Starting point is 00:00:22 And from Northern Silicon Valley, where they're trying to lower the voting age to 16. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning. California is nuts. You said Fremont region. Well, I'm in the Fremont region. It's a different.

Starting point is 00:00:42 It's a Fremont region. Did I say Fremont? Well, I'm in the Freema region. It's a different, it's a Freema region. It's Freemazing. It's a Freema region. Did I say Freema? Maybe that was just my teeth. Freema region. So they really want to lower it to 16 in California, huh? Yeah, they've been pushing this for the last few years. Well, they want to do it federally?

Starting point is 00:00:59 You can't have sex, but you can vote. Is this for local elections or for federal no no they want to they want the voting age in california to be 16 can you do that can you for federal general election can you i don't know i think so i think it's up to the states they get to do their own thing i mean at 16 you're just a moron basically basically. Yes, true. Speaking from experience. But that's what you need. The Democrats need the moron vote to stay in office. You know, we had one of our friend's son, he's coming home from college. He's at GCU in Phoenix.

Starting point is 00:01:42 And so he's coming home and he decided he wanted to come through Fredericksburg. So he stayed here for a couple of days. He's 22. And I am so pleased because, you know, this is Gen Z. This is prime Gen Z. I'm like, well, let's see what this guy is about. And here's the good news.

Starting point is 00:02:02 If they can get past the Snapchat phase, which is bad. These kids don't even text message, just send pictures of each other to each other. You know, forget that. I don't know how to write, but I can take a picture. Literally, just like, you know, expression or I guess at a certain point nudies. But if they can get past that, here's what I learned. He's like, we all know about 9-11. We all know it was an inside job.

Starting point is 00:02:36 This is good news. I was very pleased to hear this. I was like, yeah, no, no, no. We know. We know. We know what's going on so i felt really good oh there's there's a there's a shot there's a shot for our american youths but 16 no no no that's not good so i think there's one of those pivot moments that we're always looking for on the show, something that we can sink our teeth into, where there's something, either something is revealed or there's some massive switch or change that helps us understand the direction of media, elites, elite messaging systems, etc.

Starting point is 00:03:30 You must have something on your mind i do have something on my mind so the there's a now typically drinking club world economic forum they have the saudi version which uh you know most people i think they're like oh let, let's go to Davo. Davo is where I want to be. Davo. You want to go skiing. Skiing. You want to go skiing and be in Davos or Davo. But the Saudi edition is kind of an interim thing. And so they have a lot.

Starting point is 00:04:01 They're not even doing the full sessions. You really have to search around for them. And you might as well just skip over the keynotes. It's also stupid. But Larry Fink was on a panel, like a three-person panel. And I think Larry Fink, when he says something, people listen. He's the CEO and chairman. I mean, he's the big kahuna over BlackRock. He runs the show.

Starting point is 00:04:23 He runs BlackRock black rock which you know runs controls wait they controls the assets of more than the gdp of most countries yes like is it 10 trillion dollars worth of assets ridiculous whatever it is but it's a lot so and you know and i think everyone has seen black rock they own it all black rock, they own it all. Well, they don't own it all, but they do have 5% of most companies. And they do have voting shares on boards. And so when Larry... Are you... Sorry.

Starting point is 00:04:55 I like it though. I'm trying to get you a drum roll for this because you're getting there wherever you're going. I don't know. Give me a beat, baby. I need it. So Fink is on this panel and I have two clips from Fink. And at first, I'm like, oh, man.

Starting point is 00:05:10 And I wasn't quite sure where this was going, but keeping in the back of my mind that we are reaching the top of this solar cycle, as we see right now, it's 70 degrees outside. It's May in Texas. It should be about 90 right now. So the solar cycle is changing. We're going towards cooling. We know the peak is coming somewhere around 2025, may extend to 2030,

Starting point is 00:05:36 which will be just in time for everyone to say, we did it. Let's do more. This is great. We're on track. Let's do more. This is great. We're on track. And at the same time, he's really signaling about his belief in artificial intelligence.

Starting point is 00:05:56 And the second clip will reveal the new pivot. But first, let's listen to Larry's full-on belief and how much money we really need to make this AI thing a reality. Because of the amount of capital that's needed for AI, all the new technology that we've developed, probably in its entirety, was a domain of startups. And the whole ecosystem was venture capital and startups. The ecosystem has changed dramatically. AI is a domain of large caps. And I do believe to properly build out AI,

Starting point is 00:06:35 we're talking about trillions of dollars of investing. So data centers today could be as much as 200 megahertz. They're now talking about data centers that are going to be one gigawatt. That powers a city. There was one tech company that I spoke to the CEO last week who said right now all their data centers is about five gigawatts.

Starting point is 00:06:55 By 2030, they need 30 gigawatts. 30. The amount of power that's needed to use AI has huge impact on society. Where's that power going to come from? Are we going to take it off the grid? What does it mean for elevated energy prices for everybody else if it's that? I think it's going to represent some huge societal questions

Starting point is 00:07:19 that we have not addressed the negative side. Forget about the use of it, but just the generation of it is massive power. But that is a huge investment opportunity. So the world is going to be short power. Short power. And to power these data companies, you cannot have just this intermittent power like wind and solar. You need dispatchable

Starting point is 00:07:47 power because you can't turn off and on these data centers. I just want to end on a positive note. All this presents massive economic opportunity. We're talking about technology and all that stuff, but think about if to build these things, you're going to

Starting point is 00:08:03 have to go along air conditioning companies. The that stuff. But think about if to build these things, you're going to have to go along air conditioning companies. I mean, the basic stuff. I mean, the amount of investments that are going to be needed to do all this, alongside investing in the emerging world and healthcare and all the other issues. This is why I'm bullish. I see

Starting point is 00:08:19 opportunity. I don't see problems as much as massive opportunity. Okay, so long power or short power, as he said. He said short power. We're going to be short power. So not a single word about climate change in this entire discussion. Only, well, you know, screw Africa.

Starting point is 00:08:43 Too bad for those guys. But to me, this signals nuclear power that takes too long to build that because, of course, we need trillions of dollars of investment, which is just insane to even think of, because it'll work once we invest trillions of dollars. Then it'll work. Trust me, it'll work then. And I'm like, what is going on with this? And then he just blows me away with this complete pivot on what we have always, and he even

Starting point is 00:09:13 confirms that this has always been the belief. The belief is that as long as your population grows, this is from the former New York banker, our banking insiders, they all agree. Oh yeah yeah we need populations to grow so that we can suppress wages because that's the only thing the the the banker the bankers the system doesn't control inflation and interest rates okay they think they have some control over it so you know we're sterilizing our kids we're chopping off their body parts you know we we've we don't want aborting children

Starting point is 00:09:45 and we're not growing so open up the borders bring them in bring them in bring them in and that is truly for that reason and i think we're we're both on board with that this is what the bankers are telling us and now with ai larry fink makes a pivot if you forecast out the transformation that we're going to see across all societies because of ai robotics sensor technology the speed in which this change is going to occur i could argue in the developed countries the big winners are countries that have shrinking populations okay that's something that most people never talked about you know we always In the developed countries, the big winners are countries that have shrinking populations. That's something that most people never talked about. We always used to think shrinking population is a cause for negative growth. But in my conversations with the leadership of these large developed countries that have xenophobic immigration policies,

Starting point is 00:10:47 countries that have xenophobic immigration policies. They don't allow anybody to come in. Shrinking unemployment, excuse me, shrinking demographics. These countries will rapidly develop robotics and AI and technology. And if the promise, I didn't say it's going to happen, but if the promise of all that transforms productivity, which most of us think it will, we'll be able to elevate the standard of living of countries, the standard of living of individuals, even with shrinking populations. And so the paradigm of negative population growth is going to be changing. growth is going to be changing and the social problems that one will have in substituting humans for machines is going to be far easier in those countries that have declining populations and so for those countries that have rising populations the answer will be education and so rapidly develop you know for those countries that do not have a foundation of rule of law or education, they're going to be left. That's where the divide is going to get more and more extreme.

Starting point is 00:11:52 So I'm like, whoa, he just he just admitted that we always say, oh, no, any population growth. So we don't need that anymore because and he's got to believe that AI is the future and robotics. He's saying countries with xenophobic immigration policies, all that I could think of was Trump. They want Trump in, close the borders, drill baby drill for our data center power. And I think he's going to push this well it seems unlikely to me because he's such a die-hard democrat but maybe he's he's in charge of some of these things maybe his position gets him to allow unless he's been taken aside and said, look. Look. Fink. Fink.

Starting point is 00:12:45 Fink. Fink. Finkle. Listen up. Hey, Mr. Fink. Well, I don't know. I just want to keep that in mind that if he's saying this. It's a good point.

Starting point is 00:12:57 I think it was a good catch. Here's two supporting clips. The largest employment sector in the United states is trucking truck drivers these 18 wheelers are designed to carry all sorts of cargo but one thing they won't be carrying a driver by the end of the year aurora tractor trailers are expected to begin cruising the highways hauling freight between dallas and houston now this is a huge test they're doing in north texas uh with driverless trucks and i'm pretty sure they're gonna roll that out over the course of the next five to ten years. That probably will be a thing. You can make a lane for trucks and, you know, just cruise down the highway.

Starting point is 00:13:36 It'll take a while. But regardless, that's what they're thinking. That's what they're investing in. And so I'm like, well, we still have all these immigrants coming in. What are we going to do with them you know if if we turn to robotics and we we don't even need uh people to flip burgers or to make the donuts at uh you know but uh at the donut stand that's all automated and then it hit me we need gig workers we need these people to drive our deliveries.

Starting point is 00:14:05 This is right out of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash when the only thing on the street is people who deliver stuff. And Colorado is ahead. They know exactly what we need to get these gig workers on the road. Everybody deserves the basic human right to be able to get a license so they can take their kids to school. basic human right to be able to get a license so they can take their kids to school. State Representative Tim Hernandez is hoping to give all new immigrants that opportunity. People need to be able to participate in our community safely. There's already a law that allows this. It passed in 2013, but requires people to live in the state for two years, provide a social security number, and file income taxes.

Starting point is 00:14:46 We're striking all of that and saying if you're in Colorado and you have forms of identification that prove that that's who you are, you're entitled to get a driver's license. Fernandez says it would also expand the list of identifying documents that are accepted at the DMV. Because we're getting not just immigrants from Venezuela, we're getting folks from Honduras, folks from Guatemala, folks from Mexico, folks from Syria, folks from Palestine, folks from all over the place. So far, more than 41,000

Starting point is 00:15:14 new immigrants have arrived to Denver since December of 2020. So it's not about, everyone's like, oh, that's so they can vote. No! We want them driving for Amazon and Walmart and DoorDash and your Uber. You want them driving for amazon and walmart and doordash and your uber you want them to vote too well it's a nice benefit side side i mean just in case those

Starting point is 00:15:34 those southerners you know suddenly become all christian and vote for trump we still want them to drive i i that's yeah there is a point to be made with the fact that these many of these immigrants are catholics and are not going to sign on to the democrat weirdness no and we already know that they're outpacing uh american gig workers illegally because they don't have licenses or insurance so let's bring them in and they and whatever's left over that can't drive, they can clean our homes, walk our dogs. Toilets.

Starting point is 00:16:10 Clean the toilets. Yeah, that's what the Democrats want. Clean our homes. Yeah, especially polish the toilets. Cook, cook. They're great at cooking. They have dynamite cooking. Cooking.

Starting point is 00:16:21 Good cooking, good cooking. Hey, would you like some tacos? Yeah, yeah, sure. And then, you know, everyone, all of these kids who haven't, you know, been re-schooled yet to program, you know, everyone could be a prompt jockey. Sit at home. Be a prompt jockey. A PJ. In your PJs.

Starting point is 00:16:40 A prompt jockey. And if that's not enough, we'll just give you some CBDC. We'll give you some money. Some UBI. I'm seeing a future. And I'm seeing a future that includes Trump. Ever the optimist. So I have some backup clips for you.

Starting point is 00:16:59 By the way, that's a dystopian future. But okay, ever the optimist. Ever the optimist. All right. what you got? Well, this plays right into that because we have this battle going on, and I think it will be a dichotomy between what Fink had to say about low population countries or declining populations and the bankers thinkingers thinking no no no do you want more people and finks is just a theory by the way because he's already said you had to do all

Starting point is 00:17:32 those power issues all this ai stuff it's all a pipe dream yes of course it's a pipe and so that's just theory the old-fashioned thinking is the other way, which is the increasing population. And that is the one that will be in. There'll be a fight between one and the other. So here's my I want to put these forward. These are my wow clips for the day. Oh, my. Because this is like this is like not covered by the. I mean, it's covered kind of here a little bit about it.

Starting point is 00:18:01 But we're talking about the flights coming into this into the country. Yes. Which is like this is why even stop at the border, just fly them straight to Colorado. That's right. So where do you think they're flying? Most of them too, though, this documents have been coming out because we have troublemakers in Congress that want to find out about this stuff because it's going to affect their, the and here we go wow immigration fly-ins won new documents show the cities to which the biden administration has been flying immigrants in the controversial parole program that skips over the border this as a new poll shows americans still believe that immigration is the most critical issue facing the u.s entities virginia gibson

Starting point is 00:18:42 has more in january of last year, the Biden administration expanded an immigration program. It allows migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to receive parole and fly directly into the U.S. The Department of Homeland Security never shared where the flights land. Reports previously suggested that Florida might be a key destination. That's despite the fact that the Republican-led state is against uncontrolled immigration. Now, House Republicans have obtained documents through a subpoena. They show where the immigrant flights landed during the first half of 2023. landed during the first half of 2023 miami and fort lauderdale were leading the list with over 150 000 arrivals in total in comparison new york city is in the third spot with only around 15 000

Starting point is 00:19:36 arrivals oh that makes so much sense and that's remember we had on the last show the the contract that geo partners or whatever from florida who have a five-year 25 million dollar a year contract to fly immigrants for department of uh immigrations homeland security yeah yeah this is cool so the first few months of 2023 they got this i mean the numbers must be outrageous by now but just in the first few months of 2023, they have over 100,000 people flown into Miami and Fort Lauderdale. I'm so happy that our governor here in Texas went down to Eagle Pass and created a forward operating base. Like, I'm fighting him. I'm fighting the federal government.

Starting point is 00:20:19 No, you're not, you globalist. Yeah. It's phony. All phony. Not you, globalist. Yeah. Phony. All phony.

Starting point is 00:20:31 Yeah, there's a lot of, definitely a lot of, there's a lot of games being played. Here we go with part two. In total, the program flies immigrants to 50 different cities across the country. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on Tuesday commented on the program, focusing on President Biden. Not only is he releasing, letting people come through the border, he's actually flying in people from places like Haiti under an illegal parole program. I just love that this guy is surprised. He's shocked. We've been shocked. We've been talking about this for, what, two years?

Starting point is 00:21:04 Like, hello, have you seen the airports? We have people reporting boots on the ground that they've got United Nations tote bags. And then when you land, they swap it out for an NPR tote bag. But this is, and now, oh, I can't believe the Biden administration is doing this. Oh, I can't believe the Biden administration is doing this. The Biden administration argues the program is a safe and orderly way to bring immigrants into the U.S., avoiding human trafficking and other dangers. Republicans from the House Homeland Security Committee on Wednesday. And then there's videos of these handlers with young, young boys in airports with paperwork and people go up to them saying is this your kid and like uh and they just and they won't answer or the holdups of un

Starting point is 00:21:52 paperwork and then they say to the kids like is this you know this guy who's with you but it stops human trafficking okay criticize secretary alejandro mayorkas over the program. They said that this violation of the Immigration and Nationality Act is just one reason the House voted to impeach him. Also on Wednesday, Committee Chairman Mark Green spoke on a panel of the Center for Immigration Studies discussing the failed Mayorkas impeachment. The failure to remove him from office from that is an incentive to people to do whatever they want. We just further strengthen the royalty of the executive branch. This comes as a new Gallup poll shows that 27% of Americans say immigration is the most important problem the U.S. is facing.

Starting point is 00:22:45 It's more than any other issue, including the government, the economy, and inflation. The poll did not differentiate between legal and illegal immigration. Yeah, those are great supporting clips. I mean, in the context of Trump's going to come in, he's going to shut it all down, shut down those flights. Everything needs to come out. Season of reveal. Let everybody know. Oh, it's a scandal.

Starting point is 00:23:09 We need to shut it down because, you know, AI can take over and we have enough people for gig work. Give them a license. Give them a driver's license. The whole thing's out of control. Let's face it. This is ridiculous.

Starting point is 00:23:22 The stuff that you played is ridiculous. This is ridiculous that this is going on. I think that DeSantis is probably right about it. This parole. Hey, you want to go on parole? What do you mean? You take some guy off the street in Haiti, shove him in an airplane and say,

Starting point is 00:23:38 hey, here's your paperwork. I'm sure the credit card, they don't mention that. $10,000 and all the rest of it. It's a debit. To be fair, the rest of it. It's a debit. To be fair, it's a debit. It's a debit. A refillable. Okay, it's a debit card.

Starting point is 00:23:49 But it's $10,000 you could get out of there. It's a gift card. And so you have the debit card and you have the parole papers. You're on parole. Parole for what? I didn't do anything. No, you're on parole for being in illegally. Hold on, hold on.

Starting point is 00:24:03 That's a technical immigration term i happen to know since i've helped people become legal um that is a immigration uh term which means you're you're allowed but you're on parole as in you can't violate your parole it's restrictions it's not like a prison parole it's a different type of it sounds like if you can't violate and you get restrictions sounds like a prison parole to It's a different type of parole. Well, it sounds like if you can't violate and you get restrictions, it sounds like a prison parole to me. I'm just saying. I recognize it from the documents. Okay, I understand.

Starting point is 00:24:29 It's a fine difference. Yeah, a fine line. But parole is parole, yes. And you have a parole officer, too, I think. I'm sure that they report back all the time. First thing I do when I get in the country with $10,000 illegally, and I have to disappear into the masses is report back a lot. Yeah. No.

Starting point is 00:24:49 And then, and then you just bring your library card to Colorado and you get a, you get a license, you get a license. Here's your license. Library card is handwritten and drawn with crayons. No, that's what we,

Starting point is 00:25:00 you know, that's what we have in Honduras. Okay. Sure. In Venezuela. You gotta, you gotta do that. We've got to do the accents okay sure in venezuela you gotta you gotta do that we've got to do the accents honduras honduras we gotta do the accents well um good news good news because we've got more immigrants coming you could see this happening this is beautiful the u.s may

Starting point is 00:25:19 soon welcome some palestinians from gaza as refugees cbs news has obtained internal documents showing senior biden administration officials have discussed several options for resettling a small number of Gaza residents. It would include those who have immediate family members who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. In the last fiscal year, the U.S. resettled 60,000 refugees from around the world. Just 56 were Palestinian. There was a second short clip here when they just got this news. It was exclusive, by the way, to CBS, exclusive to CIA broadcasting. That tells you something.

Starting point is 00:25:55 This news exclusively on CBS News. The Biden administration is considering a plan to allow some... Now listen, now listen carefully because there's some nuggets in here. ...Palestinian refugees to come here to the United States. That's according to internal federal government documents that were obtained by CBS's Camilo Montoya Galvez. According to the plan, some Palestinians fleeing the war would be offered a permanent safe haven here in the U.S. And one option under consideration is to allow those who have immediate family members who are either American citizens or permanent residents to enter the country if they pass various background checks. Check this out. The plans would require coordination with Egypt, which has so far refused to allow large numbers of people from Gaza to cross the border into that country. border into that country. Now, Egypt is interesting because we know that Egypt took 7 billion euros from the European Union to create camps. I'm sure there'll be holiday camps. And so, you know,

Starting point is 00:26:56 they still have their border with Gaza closed. So they'll open that up, but you can only do one of two things. You can either come into the camp or maybe this is your option. These photos show the floating pier that the U.S. military is constructing off the coast of Gaza to deliver desperately needed aid to the enclave's population. According to a U.S. official, the pier, once completed, will be used to deliver 150 aid trucks per day with the World Food Programme leading delivery operations. Israel said it will provide logistical support during the building work. The U.S. Secretary of State has urged Israel to do more to address humanitarian needs in Gaza, adding that the most effective way to attenuate the crisis is a ceasefire, a view echoed by many. Now we have an aircraft carrier off the coast there.

Starting point is 00:27:46 Maybe, just maybe, these things are being built to get people out. Come on to the deck, everybody. On to the pier. The next shuttle is leaving. We got room in America for you. You can be in Hamilton House at NYU or whatever, Columbia. We got room for you. Hamilton House.

Starting point is 00:28:11 Hamilton House is something else. No, it's Hamilton House. Hamilton Hall. Hamilton Hall. I'm sorry. You're right. Hamilton Hall. And all of this is just echoes and echoes and echoes of history.

Starting point is 00:28:26 Early this morning, protesters at Columbia University linked arms and barricaded the entrance of Hamilton Hall. From the inside, activists piled furniture, chained up doors and smashed windows. The same building has been occupied by demonstrators in decades past, including over the Vietnam War and later against apartheid in South Africa. This time, though, protesters unfurled a banner and dedicated the building to Hind Rajab, a six-year-old who died in Israel's war against Hamas. Colombia today locked down the campus to outsiders, limiting access to students living in campus residences and essential employees. The university said today that students occupying the building would be expelled. So this is a complete replay, manufactured replay of what happened in the 60s with the student protests against Vietnam.

Starting point is 00:29:26 Very different now, of course, because it's organized by different entities. But we have Morning Joe always read in on everything, and they're calling it. And if we take this into account of Trump needs to be president, it fits right in. Hold on. It's 25 seconds. No, I fits right in. Hold on. It's 25 seconds. No, I'm just saying you think he's actually read in at the highest level or he's

Starting point is 00:29:49 used. Morning Joe? Yeah. No, he's a stooge. He's not read in, he is directed. He's directed to follow the Vietnam 68. Yeah, what I'm saying when read in means that you are at the top level of knowing what the hell's really going on.

Starting point is 00:30:06 You interrupted the flow, but you're correct. He doesn't know anything. He's dumb. You've watched him, haven't you? He's dumb. I'm just correcting you. He's dumb. NBC News in 1968 about ongoing protests at the school in opposition to the Vietnam War.

Starting point is 00:30:24 ongoing protests at the school in opposition to the Vietnam War. I've got to say, it makes as much sense in 2024 having 18 or 19 year old people running college campuses as it did in 1968, which is to say it doesn't make any sense at all. And you do wonder where the adults are. Yeah, so what's going to happen? You called it 68 do over the democrat convention in chicago and sleepy joe is out if they can keep it going they got to keep it going i mean there's a couple months i had this theory i wrote it up in the newsletter i'll tell you

Starting point is 00:30:59 that's why i give you credit this is uh they have they have to have, they can't keep this war going until August, which is when the convention is. It's just, they can't do it because they're already down in Rafa and they've got the rubbleized everything. We played a clip on the last show that indicates the place is already gone. And so moving in troops, it doesn't make any difference. There's nothing there. But, and it was going to take, what, 14 years to get the rubble out? It's that bad. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:31:29 So they've got to have a ceasefire. And that ceasefire has got to last a couple of months to put this off a little bit. And then there has to be a violation of the ceasefire, whether it's real or phony. I would guess it's phony. You would probably agree with that. Some phony baloney thing would happen and they get the war going again. They get the students back off

Starting point is 00:31:54 their asses. Now they're going to go to the convention in Chicago. And they'll be all wound up. I like it. Now I have a Columbia rap which I think includes the removal of everybody. This is from NTD.

Starting point is 00:32:11 Columbia. Yes, got it. Approximately 300 people were arrested at Columbia and City College. We are processing the arrest to distinguish between who were actual students and who were not supposed to be on the ground. These external actors with a history of escalating situations and trying to create chaos,

Starting point is 00:32:32 not to peacefully protest, but create chaos. The NYPD released a video of a professional protest consultant who was reportedly seen instructing protesters outside Hamilton Hall. Hold on. I like professional protest consultants. I mean, professional protesters, yes, but a consultant, that sounds like an exit strategy, John. Yeah, we could be podcast consultants, we could do that, but that's the money in that occupying students made human chains destroyed security cameras and took steps to avoid arrest police say these tactics clearly point to outside influence they warn the methods can spread to anti-israel encampments at other

Starting point is 00:33:19 schools in a letter to the nypd the president of Columbia University asked for police to stay on campus until at least May 17th. The encampment has now been cleared from the lawn of the university. Students arrested now face expulsion from the school and criminal charges. At City College, protesters lit flares and clashed with police. After clearing out agitators, the NYPD removed a Palestinian flag from the campus flagpole and raised the American flag. College authorities stated that calling the NYPD was a response to repeated acts of vandalism and violence and not a crackdown on peaceful protest. Violence continues on college campuses. Nationwide, over 1,000 protesters have been arrested. Yeah, I'm going to add to this theory about the ceasefire. I mean,

Starting point is 00:34:16 we know when there's code, there's code. It comes as Secretary of State Anthony Blinken meets with Arab leaders in the Middle East, calling a new ceasefire proposal presented to Hamas extraordinarily generous. The only thing standing between the people of Gaza and a ceasefire is Hamas. They have to decide, and they have to decide quickly. The proposal reportedly includes a 40-day truce, combined with the release of potentially thousands of Palestinian prisoners. The New York Times reports Israel dropped its previous demand for 40 hostages, now willing to accept 33.

Starting point is 00:34:50 Come on. 33? Come on, baby. Come on. Give me a break. I like the idea of a truce. That's even better. I'm sorry?

Starting point is 00:35:03 I like the idea of a truce. That's even better. Yes. Because violating a truce. That's even better. Yes. Because violating a truce sounds worse. Much worse. But, yeah. This fits in perfectly. By the way, I don't want to stop you before you go on with that.

Starting point is 00:35:16 Back to the protests in Colombia. You pointed out, you're the first one that pointed out these green tents. Yeah, the legal advisors. Oh, no, the green tents. Yeah, of course. No, the green tents. Now, the green tents, there's a these green tents. Yeah, the legal advisors. Oh, no, the green tents. Yeah, of course. No, the green tents. Now, the green tents, there's a mix of tents. But they were showing other schools

Starting point is 00:35:32 where they were having these issues and they had these very small encampments of maybe 20 students. And they all had the exact same green tent. We've got to find out who's providing these green tents. It's one brand of tent, which might be a good investment, by the way. One brand of tent. Hey, we already tried this with the

Starting point is 00:35:52 homelessness tents. We didn't get that business off the ground either. No, our idea was to get No Agenda stickers on the homeless tents. So anytime news coverage takes place, the noagendashow.net

Starting point is 00:36:09 would be on the sticker and you couldn't black it out. It'd be too much work. That's funny. That didn't work out. No. That's still in play. Yes. So now they also have the legal advisors

Starting point is 00:36:23 who are wearing body cams, as an aside. And, you know, whenever you see the yellow vests show up, you know, these are the leaders. Yes, the yellow vest is one of them, but there's also the red vest ones or the orange. Yeah, those are lieutenants. That's a different group. Lieutenants. And they have the body cam on them, too. And they have usually a clipboard

Starting point is 00:36:45 and a hard hat a clipboard and a hard hat yes a clipboard it's always a dead giveaway i got a clipboard i'm important well leave it to the older people to just speak truth sometimes. At 98 years old, Dick Van Dyke, who doesn't remember Dick Van Dyke? Most people don't remember Dick Van Dyke, but we remember Dick Van Dyke. If you have over-the-air TV, you're still getting Dick Van Dyke. You're still seeing the Mary Tyler Moore show. If you've ever seen

Starting point is 00:37:18 Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Well, wait a minute. Wasn't he in... What was the last production? Bye Bye Birdies is his big hit that's even that's old for me at 98 he hops on the tiktok he has a message i'm dick van dyke you may remember me i used to fall down a lot on purpose i don't speak up a lot but there's something on my mind that I wanted to talk about you know our Supreme Court has delayed any decision

Starting point is 00:37:50 about a president's immunity and at the same time they have stalled everything so that Donald Trump's path back to the White House is pretty clear now and when that happened both of the cable network stations Donald Trump's path back to the White House is pretty clear now. And when that happened, both of the cable network stations printed headlines, corrupt. Our Supreme Court is corrupt.

Starting point is 00:38:18 And then nothing. Silence. Not another word has been spoken about it by anybody. They dropped the subject as if they'd been squelched. At the same time, for some reason, our college students, although they became very concerned about what's happening in the Middle East, are beginning to feel a little manipulated somehow. Think about it, will you? Thanks.

Starting point is 00:38:45 I took over from OJ. It's like one of OJ's screens. It's totally OJ's cadence, isn't it? Think about it, people. Hello, friends. It's Dick Van Dyke. I'm here. OJ here.

Starting point is 00:38:57 It's OJ here. Yeah. Yeah. Good point. Well, but also also I liked his point he's making a lot of sense yeah seems like we're being manipulated really Dick

Starting point is 00:39:09 he figures this out he came out of out of his you know out of his silence to speak on TikTok well you know he's the man that makes it more interesting oh I had a TikTokiktok clip this you

Starting point is 00:39:26 love this i have two of them well let me play this is a shorty a shorty uh you recall we have our um we have our insider who um who told us how the uh well i mean inside me who told us how it works on tiktok that all the the all the all the TikTokers are creating are competing for um for the ads to get the ads and you know you you tailor your content to trigger the ads we had right we actually have a guy who knows knows knows the mechanism the mechanism and and this is uh and this is why it's so incredibly successful and why um it's being stolen by people who got a lot of funding for Google. You know that Gallagher who introduced that TikTok bill? He's resigning.

Starting point is 00:40:15 He's not standing for election. What do you want to bet he gets a nice job at Google? You should see what happens with that guy. Anyway, so this was on some podcast with a young influencer TikToker, just a shorty, but just to give you an idea. I lucked out and then, you know, TikTok was basically full time for me. And the guy was taking ads by the time I graduated college from like the Biden administration and Planned Parenthood and like dating apps and stuff. So it was like fully financially, you know, sustained. So you were getting the Biden administration was buying ads from you?

Starting point is 00:40:44 Yeah, I was doing full-on political propaganda. Really? What kind of Biden created 10 million jobs? Yeah, honestly. The funny thing is, they're like, do not disclose this is an ad. Because they're like, technically it's not a product. So you don't have to disclose it's an ad. Because I think they just wanted some edgy girl of color to just tell people.

Starting point is 00:41:02 When they nominated Katonji Brown-Jackson, they're like, can you say as a person of color that you feel reflected? And it's like a white woman emailing this to me. It's illegal, by the way. It's illegal. You have to disclose if you're being paid. Certainly if it's from the political party or the administration itself.

Starting point is 00:41:22 Yeah, didn't they pass something even more stringent law within the time frame of our show? Yes, Kim Kardashian had to pay fines because she hadn't disclosed some things that she was paid for. Yeah, there you go.

Starting point is 00:41:39 By the way, I'm going to use that more often. The time frame of our show is very good. That means it took place within 16 years which is the time frame of our show time frame it's it's it's a lifetime you know people who were born when we started the show can soon vote it's the time frame of our show it's a time frame of our show yeah you got you got some tiktokers here i have some tiktokers these are a little off track so we're going to put this off until later in the show okay

Starting point is 00:42:12 i wanted to get back to the riots and because i had one more clip which i because i think there's some language in here that i wanted to discuss this is ucla riots which were more uh amusing than the ones back east because there was a huge fight that broke out because there was counter protesters and they got into a scuffle the violence broke out sorry and and play and the violence broke out around 11 p.m on tuesday into wednesday morning when approximately 50 counter protesters dressed in dark clothing with hoods and white masks storm the barricade attempting to dismantle it. Footage shows the two groups striking each other with bats and wooden objects.

Starting point is 00:42:51 One of my friends has a massive bump on the back of his head. He just got whacked when he was up there. I mean, they were coming up here and just like violently attacking us. Unarmed security guards had to retreat as fireworks were fired at the encampment exploding close to the tents at roy squad oh no we had people mazing us beating us with bats and sticks throwing whatever they could to us and none of this law enforcement was here at all stopping now back it up a little bit uh you know these look some of the language usage and these are college kids. When somebody's throwing something at you, you don't say they're throwing something to you.

Starting point is 00:43:32 I agree. Which is what she said. And this is like the, oh, on accident. Oh, it happened to me on accident. Not by accident. I'm going to hospital. I'm going to hospital. I'm going to hospital i'm going to hospital i'm going to hospital it happened

Starting point is 00:43:45 it happened on accident and and by the way the phrase on accident is used by everybody it's by nowadays yeah i mean this is just bad english is bad but people were throwing stuff to they were throwing stuff to me well if you're did you catch it yes the tents at roy squad we have people mazing us beating us with bats and sticks throwing whatever they could to us and none of this law enforcement was here at all one student says law enforcement was slow to respond it's kind of foolish that they didn't the you know law enforcement didn't decide to step in when people were being beaten with metal bats, maced, yelling very threatening things. UCLA officials requested the LAPD to intervene on campus during the early hours of Wednesday to restore order and ensure public safety. It's crazy right now. There's a lot of police out here.

Starting point is 00:44:47 A lot of cars right now, so it's crazy. The situation seemed to have calmed down in the hours following the police arrival. No arrests were made. The Jewish Federation of Los Angeles said in a statement, the abhorrent actions of a few counter-protesters last night do not represent the Jewish community or our values. We believe in peaceful civic discourse. Unfortunately, the violence at UCLA is a result of the lack of leadership from the chancellor and the UCLA administration.

Starting point is 00:45:14 However, the violence prompted the university to cancel all classes on Wednesday. Governor Gavin Newsom addressed the violence on X, stating, The right to free speech does not extend to inciting violence vandalism or lawlessness on campus officials also declared that royce hall will remain closed until friday so the the house passed a resolution you know they passed a bill it's now law a resolution resolution yes people have to differentiate these two things yeah so resolution is uh hey we think a statement yeah it's it's like a virtue signal yeah hey you suck statement yes well it is the view of congress that you suck so now what they

Starting point is 00:46:00 did is they um came out with what they say the official definition of anti-Semitism, which would include, as we determined, illegal chants such as from the river to the sea. And that would not be protected under free speech because it's like yelling fire in a crowded theater. Yeah, hardly. Well, this is what they're saying. Well, this is what they're saying. And so they have amended Title VI, which doesn't mean that it's not like a law was passed. It's like Title IX, which everyone's ignoring, which we'll get to. is for federal money to flow to universities, and I presume in the future any federal money, and it's saying, you can't have this happen unless we tell you it's okay to do it.

Starting point is 00:46:56 You know, like after the ceasefire ends. And we're going to have monitors in there, and then we will stop your federal funding which as it turns out is a very small amount of money to these universities and i think the only the only thing that these clearly organized protests have in common is you know their demand is is the demand is not hey genocide joe you, stop sending military stuff to the genociders. No, it's like, you need to stop your investment in Israel. I'm like, come on, this is not serious.

Starting point is 00:47:35 They're throwing things at to us. At to us. At to us. I like that better. Yes, and stop your investment in Israel. And by the way, if you're a university and you're investing in Israel, why do you need federal money at all? Hello? Explain that to me.

Starting point is 00:47:59 Well, it's like Harvard with its endowment of like a trillion dollars. I don't know what it is. It's huge they can go they can coast for 10 years without any money not more than that probably in a way this feels a little bit like a not exactly the same but like a cloward privin strategy just overwhelm overwhelm everything confuse everything yeah it's it yeah i think exactly what it is. Get everybody all angry and sh*t-posting each other on social media. Meme. Let's meme.

Starting point is 00:48:31 Let's meme. Break out the memes. I'm going to own the libs. I'm memeing them. Oh, those Zionist shills. Here they go. I'm going to email Curry and Dvorak. We know how you feel.

Starting point is 00:48:43 Well, I've always said I like good memes. I hate bad memes. That's all. We have nothing but good memes in the newsletter. To me, it's like... Those are a selection from probably 100 or 200 memes I get because everyone sends them to me now and I go through them all. It takes me a long time

Starting point is 00:49:01 and I select probably... I select three specifically three for each newsletter that are outstanding in their category if you are if you find yourself posting several memes a day on social media regardless of where it is you should probably ask yourself how your local community is doing. Do you have any homelessness? Are the kids okay in school? The meme doesn't help. I mean, is your life around you outside your meme war, is it okay? I mean, is your city council full of nutjobs

Starting point is 00:49:38 who are doing stuff you disagree with for your own local community? I wish in the 80s I had been wiser and had paid attention. I feel I'm partially responsible for thinking these people were losers. You know, I'm on MTV, man. I'm memeing on the TV. Yeah, well. Yeah, and then look at what we wound up with. What do you mean another show?

Starting point is 00:50:03 What show by you complaining about being mtv no but i'm just saying that people are so concerned with um with the zionist takeover of the world you know but you know go concern yourself with you take over your own yes government you're right you're you you should and you're running for mayor no i'm not but i told you i'm not running for mayor anymore. You should. No. I looked at how much work it is.

Starting point is 00:50:29 No. I'm like, I'm going to do paperwork. No. But I'm going to go to city council meetings. Oh, you're disappointed now? Not very. I already told you. I already told you this.

Starting point is 00:50:41 But every time you tell me, I'm more disappointed. Oh, well, I'm sorry. I thought you might turn around. But let's listen to this clip. Now, since there's clips like this, I've got to put the Amy Goodman warning out. So, once. Hold on a second. Where's my warning?

Starting point is 00:50:53 There you go. Finally, it caught him flat-footed. Yeah, you did. I had my TikTok warning. I had my TikTok warning. Now, listen to this carefully. This is the weird ICJ determination about

Starting point is 00:51:09 just listen to this clip. In other Trump news, the former president has refused. I'm sorry, am I playing the right one here? I don't think so. I think you should be playing the clip that starts with the name weird. Oh, I'm so sorry. See, I knew I caught it in time. The International Court of Justice

Starting point is 00:51:25 has rejected a request by Nicaragua to order Germany to halt exporting arms to Israel. But the court declined to throw out the case. Nicaragua had accused Germany of violating the genocide convention by providing military and financial aid to Israel. In its ruling, the ICJ said, quote, The court considers it particularly important to remind all states of their international obligations relating to the transfer of arms to parties to an armed conflict in order to avoid the risk that such arms might be used to violate the above-mentioned conventions. What does that mean? Well, I'm going to ask you a bigger overall question.

Starting point is 00:52:08 Okay. Why is Nicaragua calling out Germany for sending stuff to Israel and not calling us out? Because of the Zionists, man. We send more than Germany does, by far. I don't know. That's very odd. What was that? Now you can go back to your big question, which is what was that all about? I'm asking what was that all about regarding why aren't we?

Starting point is 00:52:33 What is going on with Nicaragua and these other, these rogue states, Venezuela? I think Colombia has done something screwy. And in South Africa, obviously, which is connected to Qatar or or one of those Bahrain or some other country. This is bull crap. That is indeed weird. That's can I hear it's only 38 seconds. I'm listening to that one again. The International Court of Justice has rejected a request by Nicaragua to order Germany to halt exporting arms to Israel.

Starting point is 00:53:08 But the court declined to throw out the case. Nicaragua had accused Germany of violating the Gen relating to the transfer of arms to parties to an armed conflict in order to avoid the risk that such arms might be used to violate the above mentioned convention. And why is why is Amy reading legislation? I mean, that's like the above mentioned conflicts like what? Give me the news, Amy. Give me the news. I have my Amy complaint clips coming, but they're about Trump and we're not there yet. Now, that was the ICJ.

Starting point is 00:53:56 Of course, we also have the ICC. Yeah, that's another one. What's the difference between the ICJ and the ICC? Well, the thing they have in common is that the united states recognizes neither one of those branding israel's leaders and soldiers as war criminals will pour jet fuel on the fires of anti-semitism those fires that are already raging on the campuses of america and across capitals around the world i think the choice of jet fuel is poor, Bibi. It will also be the first time that a democratic country fighting for its life according to the rules of war is itself accused of war crimes.

Starting point is 00:54:39 The Israeli army, the IDF, is one of the most moral militaries in the world. Like any military can be moral. You know, we were pretty moral i want to just that observation about jet fuel because the term is gasoline for that particular phrase no he's he's he's uh he's trolling everybody about 9-11 you know dancing israelis jet fuel he's trolling you think so what else is it it? Well, I've never heard anyone use it. I didn't pay attention. I've heard that clip, and I didn't notice it, but you're right. Jet fuel is not the thing you say there.

Starting point is 00:55:14 That's funny. It's to trigger something for some reason. Yeah, it sounds right. Because he doesn't have to pay attention to what the ICC says, because they're putting out an arrest warrant. He doesn't have to pay attention to what the ICC says because they're putting out an arrest warrant. He doesn't have to even talk. He doesn't have to do any of that. No.

Starting point is 00:55:29 And besides, he knows that the most humanitarian army is the United States who went into Iraq based upon weapons of mass destruction, even though it was Saudis who flew planes, so-called planes, into the buildings. We found the guy's passport, after all, on the street. And even though it was Osama bin Laden from hour two, and he was in Afghanistan, no, we had to go get Saddam Hussein, kill the million Iraqis. We are the most humane. We. We are.

Starting point is 00:55:59 We're phone finger number one. We're number one. We're number one. But no word about that anymore i don't talk about that anymore ah okay um i don't i want to mention to everyone that we we have to do two donation segments in this show so people who have been bitching about about one donation will have their day. Yeah, I think it's good because it breaks it up a little bit. People get a breather, get a breather, get a breather. In certain situations, I disagree.

Starting point is 00:56:37 I like the idea of the one donation segment at the end because once that starts, you know, the show's over. Yeah, but people are on edge, and there's two and a half to almost two hours. They can't handle it. It doesn't make sense to me that they can't handle it because we're taking everything and we're presenting it in a light, airy, humorous, laughable way.

Starting point is 00:57:01 I don't get it. Sometimes. Well, let's break it up for a second. Let's do something completely different. Just to, you know, like a little entremont. Have you seen what's been happening in Canada's

Starting point is 00:57:16 parliament? Yeah. I mean, this is getting good. With a packed gallery, including two school groups, the question period went off the rails within minutes. Mr. Speaker, I always condemn extremism and racism, including from the guy who spent the first half of his adult life as a practicing racist, dressing up. The Prime Minister and opposition leader, Pierre Poglia, hurled insults with their benches roaring. That's the character of a single person.

Starting point is 00:57:45 Get it together, Greg. Speaker Greg Fergus quickly lost control. And I'm going to ask all members to control themselves. Off-mic Conservative MP Rachel Thomas was heard yelling at the speaker. I'll ask the honourable member to please, to ask her to withdraw her remarks. The chair is acting in a disgraceful manner. For that, she was booted from the House. Then things got even worse. Trudeau and Polyev continued sparring, with the Prime Minister accusing the opposition leader of courting extremists after visiting a protest camp earlier this

Starting point is 00:58:20 month. It was a choice to pander to white nationalists, not an accident. Mr. Speaker, it is a choice for him to implement extremist policies. Then Poliev asked Trudeau about BC's request to reverse the decriminalization of some hard drugs in an attempt to reduce the number of overdose-related deaths. When will we put an end to this wacko policy by this wacko prime minister? No, there are a couple of things which are going on here today, which is not acceptable. Poliev was asked to withdraw the term wacko, deemed unparliamentary and refused repeatedly. So he got kicked out too. Soon all Conservative members left the House in solidarity.

Starting point is 00:59:04 This is great. I think he got kicked out for like a week or two. It's fantastic. We need more of this theater in our Congress. Yeah, we're never going to get to that. Remember when the Democrats, they had a sit-in? Oh, the stupid sit-in. They had a sit-in.

Starting point is 00:59:21 We're sitting down. We're not going to do anything. I'd like this. Like, call your prime minister a racist. A wacko. A wacko who dressed up as a blackface. We all saw it. That's great. It's all true. And what was

Starting point is 00:59:34 the problem about some drugs? Well, we do that differently here in America. Tonight, a historic shift for the Justice Department, moving to reclassify marijuana as a less dangerous drug. The DEA is proposing to allow the medical use of cannabis, acknowledging it does less harm than other drugs like heroin and ecstasy. But the proposal would still not legalize it for recreational use,

Starting point is 00:59:54 although many states have already done so. The federal regulatory review will likely take months. I like that it's that I didn't know that ecstasy was on par with heroin. I didn't know that. By the way. What are you drinking? I heard you. You cracked one open.

Starting point is 01:00:15 No, I didn't crack anything open. Oh, okay. I'm sorry. Are you drinking anything? A tea right now. So I think this is just a pander to the Utes. Hey, man, Biden's cool, man. It might be, but unless they legalize it federally, it's like...

Starting point is 01:00:33 I forgot to vote. What it does, we talked about this on the DHM Plug Show. What it does is it allows finally these marijuana dispensaries to... Oh, to take credit cards? To take credit cards and use banking services. Because it... And that will... And what that amounts to is lower...

Starting point is 01:00:52 This is kind of a backdoor way of lowering crime numbers a little bit because there's a lot of crime committed against these dispensaries. Because we're stoned, man. And that'll knock the number down a touch. Tina was in New York and she said, it smells like weed everywhere. I'll bet.

Starting point is 01:01:14 Everywhere. Yeah, this is, you know, it doesn't smell like, like I can go to San Francisco. I can go to Berkeley. There's no weed smell. Nobody is because now it's been legalized and everybody, ah, who cares? It's legal in New York, too. Yeah, I know, but it's the beginning. So everyone, oh, it's legal.

Starting point is 01:01:33 Toke up, bro. So everyone goes nuts when they first legalize it, and so they're always smoking. Like they're, you know, oh, we couldn't do this before, so they're all smoking. It is childish. Yes. It's childish.

Starting point is 01:01:51 And the New Yorkers should be ashamed of themselves. I got a longer clip here from NBC. For more than 50 years, marijuana has been listed among the world's most dangerous drugs. Classified alongside the likes of heroin or ecstasy. But tonight, in a major shift, according to sources with knowledge of the decision, the Biden administration is looking to reclassify the drug to Schedule 3, like ketamine or testosterone or Tylenol with codeine. Ketamine? Ketamine?

Starting point is 01:02:23 People sitting in the K-hole and that's just Schedule 3? Wow. Which would allow marijuana to be more easily studied for medical benefits. The change would not legalize recreational marijuana, the possession and distribution of which is still a federal crime, but would recognize it as a drug less likely to lead to addiction. Public opinion has shifted dramatically in the last 20 years, from 34% of Americans who believe marijuana should be legal to 70%. Nearly half of states have legalized marijuana for recreational use. But tonight, one opposition group says the cannabis industry has lobbied heavily to sell demonstrably harmful products and calls out the Biden administration for a, quote, thinly veiled attempt to reverse polling trends.

Starting point is 01:03:05 No one should be jailed. President Biden has already pardoned thousands of offenders and a move could garner political support this election year, particularly among young and black voters. There it is, black. The proposed change still has to go through a public comment period and would not become official for at least 60 days. Now, the real thing, the funny thing Biden did, or the Biden administration was, yeah, we're not going to outlaw menthol cigarettes anymore. You remember that? Talk about pandering.

Starting point is 01:03:33 Yeah, oh, we're not going to do that. Because it's tasty. It's good for you, blacks. Vote for me. Vote for me. I'm Menthol Joe. Menthol Joe. There's a show title menthol joe

Starting point is 01:03:46 i'm writing it you're writing it down okay just in case just in case just in case um menthol joe yeah but no instead you know just we're all it's all going to be uh about uh abortion this is a fight for freedom for kamala harris florida's adoption of a harsh new abortion ban can only be blamed on one person former u.s president donald trump oh another trump abortion ban went into effect here in florida nice try four million women will kill their babies in this state woke up with fewer reproductive freedoms than they had last night reproductive freedom on wednesday florida outlawed all abortions after six weeks of pregnancy only allowing exceptions if the mother's life is in danger that you know that's actually a loophole i found out um having a it's typically not it's very ill-advised to uh abort a fetus at six weeks or younger unless like you know it's like plan b

Starting point is 01:05:02 the next day just to make sure or whatever. And doctors will say, you need to wait because you could die of sepsis. I've learned a lot about this. You could die of sepsis if some, like a leg is left in there. And I know I'm making it sound crude, but the Planned Parenthood, they use this term POC, which is parts of conception. And you don't want a part of conception left inside the womb. So the loophole, I think, is, well, it puts the mother's life in danger so you can wait longer. Ah, good one. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:05:40 And by the way, blaming this on Trump is nonsense. He's come out and he's the one who predicted this clip. But he says, hey, you want to finish this for a second? This one goes on. She goes on. Does she laugh? Only allowing exceptions if the mother's life is in danger or in case of rape or incest. The move was slammed by medical professionals across the state who lamented a sad day for women's reproductive rights spent my life in my career doing this and i have the training to do this

Starting point is 01:06:12 and i have people which means she can basically hold a vacuum tube who do not have the training or the expertise or the knowledge to do this telling me that i can't and more importantly telling women that their reproductive freedoms and their bodily autonomy don't matter. Florida became the 21st state to implement a partial or total ban on abortion since the Supreme Court overruled Roe versus Wade in 2022. Have you seen the ads that Biden has put out? And it's like a little movie trailer, and there's

Starting point is 01:06:46 a couple of young women in a car and one's driving and her friend next to her is like, we're almost across state line. It's going to be okay. We're going to make it. And then the cop pulls her over. Oh, brother. Yeah, yeah. And the cop says, where are we going, ma'am?

Starting point is 01:07:02 You're crossing state line. I'm going to need you to take this pregnancy test. I mean, that's how sick we've become. pain uh of target that's all they got and so they're gonna that's probably gonna be the least of it that sounds like a very creative ad for the scare the scare the young girls you know college age girls that are you know fearful that they're gonna get pregnant they won't have any out besides using complete new speak 1984 language of reproductive rights and women's health care just call it what it is in fact it's like and i've always said capital punishment the death penalty it's okay as long as you televise it yeah you want to abort your baby good then it should you know you should stream it on this rock i think had the best bit on it. I wish we should. I should get a clip from his last act.

Starting point is 01:08:06 He says he's all for women's rights, but let's call it what it is. Killing babies. Yeah. And that's it. That's what I'm saying. You should have a, what is that? What is the thing when they look at the baby inside? Sonogram.

Starting point is 01:08:24 Not sonogram. Ultrasound. Ultrasound. Ultrasound. Yeah, televise that. Stream it on YouTube. You can get some, maybe you get some super chats. Make some money.

Starting point is 01:08:35 Get some super chats. So here's the clip. AZ abortion tossed. AZ abortion tossed. It's so gruesome, these people. The Arizona State Senate today voting to repeal an 1864 abortion ban previously upheld by the state's highest court. The legislation restricts abortions in most cases, except when the mother's life is in danger. It took 16 votes in the GOP-led chamber to overturn the ban.

Starting point is 01:09:03 A total of 14 Democrats, along with two Republicans, voted to repeal it. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs is expected to sign the measure into law. Going forward, the bill could pave the way for Arizona to go back to a 15-week abortion ban. But getting there could take a while. That's because the repeal won't go into effect until 90 days after the end of legislative session. That brings up another one of my logical questions. Why? Why does it take 90 days?

Starting point is 01:09:35 Why don't you just put it in there? It takes effect immediately. For campaigning. Money can flow for campaign issues. Yeah. Yeah. That's probably right. Yeah. This is no one actually Yeah. That's probably right.

Starting point is 01:09:49 This is, no one actually cares about women's health care. Nobody cares about anything about being in office. No one. They don't care. They don't care. They only care about getting elected. And I'll tell you, talking about getting elected, I have rethought. Uh-oh. And I, you do this.

Starting point is 01:10:02 That must have hurt. I should do it more often. I've rethought my position on Mike Johnson. And I have two clips. What was your original position? That the CIA or somebody came up to him and said, hey, look at this picture. Yeah. What's that in your mouth, you think?

Starting point is 01:10:26 Oh, John, stop now. This is a family show. It's just a family show. I could be eating succotash. Succotash, sure. Dig the hole deeper. I'm thinking. I'm thinking.

Starting point is 01:10:39 I'm rethinking. I'm completely, no. Wait, is this a Johnson pivot? It's a Johnson.? It's a John. I have done a Johnson. Yes. He's got the right last name for what I was talking about. So I'd say Johnson pivot.

Starting point is 01:10:55 And I have two clips and then you can figure it out as you listen to these clips too. But I'll tell you the thesis, the current thesis. I'm sorry. I was still laughing. What's that in your mouth? You're a horrible, you are a national treasure. You are. But I'll tell you the thesis, the current thesis. I'm sorry, I was still laughing at that. What's that in your mouth? You're a horrible, you are a national treasure. You are.

Starting point is 01:11:11 You need to be protected. What the country needs right now is a functioning Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson said Tuesday it was the first he'd heard of Democratic leaders, signaling they would help him keep his job. You know, you hope you have the support of everyone, the entire country. But, you know, like I said, I've got to do my job and continue to keep my head down. This is a very serious time for the country. We're not playing games here. The world is on fire.

Starting point is 01:11:40 Johnson has come under fire from some Republicans for his role in passing the $95 billion emergency spending bill this month. He says it's no time to be playing politics and engaging in chaos. We need to be doing the job that the framers intended for Congress to play. And that's what I'm about. I'll continue to pursue that every day. And, you know, we'll keep the wheels of government functioning. Okay. Okay, well, I'll hold off the commentary until the second clip. We'll play the second half. A small number of gop members could oust johnson a speaker if democrats voted with them minority leader hakeem jeffries and other democratic leaders say after finishing work on the national security supplemental they won't just let that happen none of the discussion that we had in caucus was about saving mike johnson the underlying motion to vacate um was not. The motion to table was.

Starting point is 01:12:27 House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar says leaders are not asking anyone to take a position opposed to their values. Each member is going to vote their district and their conscience guided by the Constitution. Congressman Aguilar says many are leaning to set aside any move by Greene to take away Johnson's gavel. We want to turn the page. We don't want to turn the clock back and let Margie Taylor Greene dictate the schedule and the calendar of what's ahead. Congresswoman Greene filed a motion to vacate with the House clerk last month. The resolution would remove Johnson if approved by the House. The Congresswoman on X, saying Johnson should resign and switch parties.

Starting point is 01:13:04 Greene wrote she wants transparency and congress to go on the record to show where they stand mike johnson is not capable of that job he has proven it over and over again okay i'm curious about your analysis and commentary well here's what happened so mike john did this marjorie taylor green who may be part of the scheme i'm not sure i can't put't put her on that side of it. Okay. But she put the order to vacate before the budget vote where he backed off on his original thinking, which was first he's holding up the bill to send more money to Ukraine and elsewhere,

Starting point is 01:13:39 because we went over that in most of his bullcrap. But it's beside the point. He was not supposed to let that thing go through without some border protection. They had to put something on the border. They got to put some border money, anything. So he didn't. He just went along with the Democrats' proposal and gave, you know, pushed the pile of money through. And then that got everybody bent out of shape, especially Marjorie Taylor Greene, who may or may not be part of a scheme. And then it's supposedly, as we've talked about on the show, he goes in and intelligence talks to him. And somehow he switches his mind and all of a sudden changes his position.

Starting point is 01:14:13 And he says it puts the puts the vote to the House where he was holding it. He was keeping it from going to the floor. But now he said, OK, goes to the floor. And they passed it with a lot of Republicans that voted for it. Yeah. And so what what it seems more likely now that happened instead of the picture of him, the photo here, look at this. It was they went up to him, said, look. And I'm going to say it's the CIA. We have a lot of Democrats that are on our payroll. As well as your Republicans. You're going to get, they're going to try to vote you out, but we're going to, we're

Starting point is 01:14:47 going to make it so the Democrats will back you this time. Unlike with the last speaker, McCarthy, where all the Democrats voted him, you know, no, and everybody got rid, they got rid of McCarthy. Yeah. But they're not going to get rid of, rid of Johnson. And it would go like the conversation go like this. Look, if you pass this bill. We'll back you on this and you can stay and you're going to you have to sort of Damocles hanging over your head with Marjorie Taylor Greene and your other conservative buddies.

Starting point is 01:15:17 They're going to oust you, but we'll prevent that from happening by giving you a big pile of Democrats that will vote yes to keep you, then you're good to go. You got your job for as long as you want it. And it's a political deal instead of a blackmailing deal. No, that makes total sense. It makes a lot of sense. And it's a smart money way to go. And that's what's going to happen. And also, he took the heat away from the 100 Republicans who voted for the bill. Right. Because everyone's Mike Johnson, Mike Johnson.

Starting point is 01:15:49 Yeah, they targeted him instead. And that's where Marjorie Taylor Greene comes in, where typically she would go after everybody who voted for the bill. But I think it was 100 Republicans. It was a lot. It was ridiculous. You know why? Military industrial complex, defense industrial base. That's where the real money is.

Starting point is 01:16:06 Look at the money. Trillion dollars. A trillion dollars. And so Johnson is good to go. He's not going to be one of these short-term. He's not going to be an embarrassment to his family by being in there for like, oh, I was Speaker of the House for four months, and that was the end of me. No, he's good to go.

Starting point is 01:16:22 So that's what's going to happen. Honestly, I like the picture theory better. It was a lot of fun here. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage to say in the morning to you, the man who put the seas in the chaos consultant, say hello to my friend on the other end, the one and only Mr. John C. DeMora. Well, in the morning, you must read in Korean. In the morning, all ships and sea boots on the ground feeding air, subs in the water, and the dames of the nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. We're going to count them first.

Starting point is 01:16:51 We're going to count the trolls. Not entirely fair, of course, to count the trolls this early. But we do have 1727 versus 1485 an hour later and to last week. But we're happy to see the trolls here. And we are very happy to thank our executive and associate executive producers. We're back with enough of them. And it's really, it's about the number, not the amounts, but it's more about the number. We're just concerned when you have a million people producing the show and you get, know three supporting you it's like that's this

Starting point is 01:17:27 that's a problem so that's changed thank goodness after we moaned and moaned yeah it's called reminding if you'd like to moan if you'd like to personally if you want to learn the strategy behind value for value I wrote this up. It's valueforvalue.info. And I think it actually says, if you don't get support, moan and groan, and then everything's groovy again. Until the next time. But we love that these people who return value to us do that in a number of ways. Time, talent, or treasure.

Starting point is 01:18:06 do that in one of a number of ways time talent or treasure actually we're going to thank the artists first who always bring in lots of time and talent through no agenda art generator.com we like having fresh artwork for every single show we've been doing it almost for the what was the term you used the the period no the time period of what was you you you said wow i've already forgotten myself forgot what it was the time frame the time frame of the show yes the time frame of the show and uh so they and it's open for everyone to uh to participate and in a way it's a competition and we want to thank tante neil another one of those Rembrandt descendants. Yeah, another Dutch woman. Another Dutchie.

Starting point is 01:18:49 Who brought us the artwork for episode 1655. We titled that one Illegal Chance. And this was the No Agenda Biden Bits with Crappy Roasts of Trump. And it was Quaker Oats. Now, we went back and forth on this. Yeah. You originally rejected it because we have a policy about using faces. Faces.

Starting point is 01:19:13 Yes. I wasn't really happy with it. And what I, what I wanted was actually another Tontanil piece, which was Wordle. And then you pointed out that it, it says Curry and Dvorak agenda. I didn't have no agenda. It was a nice piece. It looked like Wordle and then you pointed out that it says Curry and Dvorak agenda. It didn't have no agenda. It was a nice piece.

Starting point is 01:19:28 It looked like Wordle, which you're unfamiliar with. You should familiarize yourself with it. I didn't like the piece because I've never seen Wordle. I don't play Wordle. I looked at it and said, what the hell is this? It's keeping the New York Times alive so you might want to familiarize yourself with their business model

Starting point is 01:19:43 because that's it. Wordle. No, you were all in on it. But then I noticed that no agenda did say no agenda. And we discussed Dame Candy Ben's another Van Gogh, Bird Flu Milk. And you just kind of rejected that. You said, no, I don't like it. It was a little flat. So let's go over the other other discussion which was these dutch

Starting point is 01:20:05 artists yes they turn out not to be dutch at all but from now on as an honorary dutchman i proclaim them all dutch including scaramanga scaramanga would be italian which is also an artsy artsy country they're all dutch now they're all dutch nestworks they're all Dutch now. They're all Dutch. They're all Dutch. Comics for Blogger, Dutch. I would put Darren O'Neill Dutch too because I bet you when he goes out

Starting point is 01:20:34 on a date, it's Dutch. Wow. Okay. John at Dvorak.org everybody. Your pre-show guy under the bus. Let's see. Was there anything else that we discussed? Well, you, of course, liked Scaramanga's cheesecake.

Starting point is 01:20:55 I did. I thought it was well done. Well, it was weird. It was like a cheesecake-y young woman with a dirty sock for some reason. I don't know. There was elements that made no sense. top. It was cheesy. With a dirty sock for some reason. I don't know. I didn't, there was elements that were not, made no sense. No, it was weird. It was weird.

Starting point is 01:21:11 Anyway, Tonson Neal, thank you very much. We appreciate that, that you do that and that you did that and that all the artists who do that. And you can always take a look at all of the artwork at noagendaartgenerator.com or check out Dreb Scott's fantastic chapter artwork, which he uses all of these elements for. And you need that to get that in a modern podcast app at podcastapps.com. Now, just to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1656, we start with Digi, the blind dude named Ben. Digi, the blind dude named Ben. We love our blind producers.

Starting point is 01:21:49 And he comes in with 654.33. He's in blue, which he doesn't know, but we do. And that means that he has a title coming up, or actually a knighting. And I shall read his note. Howdy, gents. Another missive from Digi, the blind dude named Ben. Adam, thanks for the pod verse suggestion oh it's one of those modern podcast apps it is indeed fairly accessible as you mentioned during my last donation has been my preferred podcast app for a while now because of

Starting point is 01:22:16 these the attention to detail and he says i have an observation from a blindness perspective that is a throwback and shows just how long i've been a douchebag i'm gonna dedouche him then i guess just to make you've been dedouched adam was on a listen to podcast at normal speed kick for a while one producer yes i still i'm still i still think it's much healthier yeah one producer commented that their parents were blind and often listened to books at faster than normal speed. They also mentioned that their parents may now have some form of dementia and was speculated that listening to things at high speed had contributed. I'm going to stick to that.

Starting point is 01:22:56 That's interesting. I think it's very interesting. You can get to this. It's like, you know, we all know what's crambling your brain when you do it. We all know what can make you go blind but listening to podcasts at high speed will give you

Starting point is 01:23:08 dementia I primarily use the computer through a screen reader with synthetic speech over the years I've taught myself to listen at this faster and faster so as to take in more information in a shorter time well that's different when it's reading text I think

Starting point is 01:23:24 because you know, we put in pauses, inflection, et cetera, to take you on a journey, to help you ride the wave of our performance. He listens to books at least 1.5 as well, but for whatever reason, I just never considered listening to the best podcast in the universe at anything other than normal speed. Thank you. Yes, yes the subtleties that we provide correct thank you for all you do and for keeping me sane while i did my time in john's land of the lost california i'd plan to reach knighthood within three donations but i keep forgetting to donate before the next show so here's my catch-up please knight me sir digi

Dame Astrid in Tokyo, she's the duch*ess of Japan and all the disputed islands but she's upgrading and she wanted to coordinate this and so we finally did. I just need to say that since

Starting point is 01:24:37 2010 I think, Dame Astrid and Sir Mark have been donating to the show they're very, very famous, successful architects in Japan. Oh, yeah. I mean, they've done like Sony buildings and buildings for the emperor and all kinds of incredible, incredible work. And they are producers of the show and royalty, of course. Since show 165, she says.

Sir Mark and I have been no agenda addicts ever since episode 165 she says there you go sir mark and i have been no uh no agenda addicts ever since episode 165 i was the first no agenda dame back in the day and now i think i am the very first proud n a arch duch*ess i think that's probably true i think it's true Yeah, we have a lot of men, but no women. Also, to celebrate Sir Mark's upgrade into the rank of 60-year-olds, he's on the birthday list. Yes. It's only befitting that he should become the Archduke of Japan in all the disputed islands of the Japan Sea.

Starting point is 01:25:39 We got here because you are relevant and keep us sane. And they're in Japan, by the way. I should mention that. So please, please, four more years.

No. And I love that they're doing it now while the yen still has some value left. God! They couldn't wait any longer. It'll cost too much.

Starting point is 01:26:20 You see what happened? Has it gone over 160 again? No, but it's just pushing it. It's ridiculous. We talked about this on the other show, of course, the DHM Plug. By the way, congratulations. 700 episodes.

And as the troll room correctly points out, yes, you can also put it on your headstone.

Starting point is 01:40:25 That is an appropriate use. Cool. Nothing wrong with it. It's cool. It's very cool. Let's see. There's a couple of things going on that we should probably discuss. Well, if you want, we can start with this Trump deconstruction idea with Amy Goodman.

Starting point is 01:40:46 I don't have to play the warning. We already told everybody it was coming. Yes, that was the idea. So what, do you need to set this up? What's going on? This is an example. We have producers that listen to our show but actually work for Amy's show. We've gotten notes from her every once in a while.

Starting point is 01:41:01 So I'm going to put this out there that she is, as a journalist, this is an example of unbelievable bullcrap bias. It's not even close to being. This is bad journalism. Bad journalism. In other Trump news, the former president has refused to rule out political violence if he loses the election in November. Okay, I just started that off. That's actually just the intro to the whole clip. Now,

Starting point is 01:41:26 what does she say there? She said that he, like if he, if he, let me listen. In other Trump news, the former president has refused to rule out political violence. If he loses the election in November,

Starting point is 01:41:40 he has refused to row. He refused. He refused to I think she meant disavow. I don't know what she meant. But whatever the case is, she has the backup documentation which she's going to read from.

Starting point is 01:41:56 And I want you to tell me how what she just said has anything to do with what Trump said. Here we go. In other Trump news, the former president has refused to rule out political violence if he loses the election in November. Trump told Time magazine, quote, I think we're going to win. And if you don't win and if we don't win, you know, it depends. It always depends on the fairness of an election, unquote.

Starting point is 01:42:21 So this is the big Time magazine interview that has him on the cover. And what she was saying was rule out. He doesn't rule out. Now I can rule out anything. He doesn't say anything. No, he doesn't even use the word violence or political violence. She said she indicated she implied that Trump is is by not ruling it out. He's advocating for political violence and he says nothing of the sort. You know what she needs? She needs Rebecca Weintraub, ASAP.

Starting point is 01:42:55 She continues with her report, and this is just a little more, just a little another backhanded slap against Trump. She's obviously not a Trump man. No, or woman. In the same interview, trump said he would quote absolutely consider pardoning every person convicted for taking part in the january 6th insurrection at the u.s capital well that's supposed to turn away the voters so i have um so this this was a beautiful trump is when it comes to this stuff he's very smart so he did

Starting point is 01:43:24 this time magazine interview and it's it's a great you know he's very smart so he did this Time Magazine interview and it's it's a great you know he's on the cover he's on the cover of Time and the title of the of the issue is if he wins I mean this is this is such great

Starting point is 01:43:39 predictive programming and Jake Tapper laid it out bombshell interview bombshell bombshell interview from bomb a bomb bombshell it's a bombshell a bombshell interview from former president donald trump just dropped in time magazine's cover story called if he wins it features a wide-ranging interview where donald trump tells the reporter and us in his own words what a second term could look like should he win his bid to retake the white house in just moment, the editor behind the interview joins the lead. So what is Trump saying

Starting point is 01:44:09 he will do? Well, a lot. On immigration, Trump says plans are on to use the military to carry out a mass deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants. He's indicated he's willing to sidestep a law that prohibits using American troops against civilians. He says, quote, well, these aren't civilians. These are people that aren't legally in our country. This is an invasion of our country, unquote. Asked about the possibility of political violence if he were to lose the election to Joe Biden, as he did in 2020, Mr. Trump said he was going to win and then, Biden, as he did in 2020. Mr. Trump said he was going to win and then, quote, and if we don't win, you know, it depends.

Starting point is 01:44:51 It always depends on the fairness of an election, unquote. Asked if he would fire a U.S. attorney who refuses to follow his orders to prosecute someone he wants to prosecute. He said, quote, it depends on the situation, honestly. on the situation, honestly, asked if he would consider pardoning every single one of the nearly 800 rioters convicted of attacking the Capitol on January 6th. Trump said, I would consider that. Yes, yes, absolutely. So, I mean, this is not very bombshell. Yes, it's anything but bombshell. He seems to me to be waffling about maybe it could go either way. It reminds me of

Starting point is 01:45:33 there is no evidence that people want to use the mouse. Yeah. It's a great tactic. I think that's, I mean, they want him to win. It's so obvious at this point. I mean, people are talking as if he's already won. And now in the season of reveal, we get this bombshell evidence that, from pajama media, actually,

Starting point is 01:45:59 that, you know, the National Library was ordered to ship off a whole container of paperwork to Mar-a-Lago, which Trump then, of course, threw down somewhere in the living room because, like, what am I going to do with this stuff? So they set him up is what it looks like. Yes, this is a very good story. Do you have any clips on that? You have a link to it in the show notes? I do have a link, yes.

Starting point is 01:46:24 Yeah, it's a good story people should read. And it's got, the attention, it's not part of the, whatever narrative they're running, whatever game they're playing with the public, it's not in it. I think that's just to get them off to, you know, to get rid of some of these cases. I don't know what the point of it was coming out the way it did. Then there's something else that just dropped today, and it's Bombshell. It's another unplayable undercover interview because, you know, once O'Keefe went off to do OMG Media, O'Keefe Media Group, you know, he forgot all that we taught him about recording undercover audio and video.

Starting point is 01:47:08 So it's unintelligible. It only works if you see it with the subtitles. I did, however, cut together his little interstitials so we can kind of get an idea. This is really fantastic. This is some dude, I think he's Indian of origin. I forget his name. Whatever.

Starting point is 01:47:28 This is another gay thing? No, but it is another honeypot. This is, again, it's on a date. These people are so stupid. I mean, this used to be the number one thing CIA agents were supposed to be able to do and resist is when you're being honeypotted. And this guy's like, oh yeah, look, it's my CIA badge. This is what we do. We totally...

Starting point is 01:47:53 I don't... Okay. What? First of all, I don't know about this. It dropped this morning. It's bombshell. It dropped. Well, they should have picked it up.

Starting point is 01:48:02 So... It's brand new. It's great. So this is a CIA guy, and has it been verified? This guy's toast. Oh, and of course he's toast. But the table is lifting up. This guy is so horny on this date.

Starting point is 01:48:17 He's like, oh, yeah. Oh, no, we do all this stuff. We spy on people. We do whatever we want. Yeah, look, here's my badge. Come on, baby. What do you people. We do whatever we want. Yeah, look, here's my badge. Come on, baby. What do you think I am? I'm CIA. Amjad Fasisi shows her his CIA identification badge. Amjad talks about how the CIA kept information from Trump. Amjad Fasisi states the higher-ups within the intel community, including CIA directors Mike Pompeo and Gina Haspel,

Starting point is 01:48:42 and the upper levels of their staffs colluded to withhold information from sitting President Trump. Amjed Fasisi also states as fact that Trump is under constant surveillance and even claims they are spying on his ex-wife. Fasisi, this guy is totally toast. Wait, hold on a second. They're spying on his ex-wife? That's Marla. Why? Marla Maples?

Starting point is 01:49:06 Doesn't she live in a condo in Arizona? Who cares? I think to prove the point that they've got him bugged everywhere. And they're still listening to him. They're still spying on him. Yeah. Well, duh. Duh.

Starting point is 01:49:18 But, you know, this is bombshell. Bombshell. I think the bombshell part is that Pompeo and Haskell, Haskell, Haskell, Haskell, Haskell. Yeah, Haskell. That they would just give him like, you know, top line. They wouldn't give him any details because, you know, we have got to clean this stuff up.

Starting point is 01:49:38 Well, especially Pompeo, who then became Secretary of State and he was a big Trump, you know, Trump. Now he's, you know, a Trump supporter. Yeah. If this is he's got some explaining to do. You see Bill Barr. Bill Barr also endorses Trump now. I didn't see that.

Starting point is 01:49:57 Oh, yeah. He's out there doing interviews. Well, you know, I disagree with the president a lot of things, but he's the best guy for the job now. I'm Bill Barr. I don't want I don't want to go to jail. Trump, I'm with you, bro. Come on, man. We all know he's going to win. Be careful. Be careful.

Starting point is 01:50:11 The phoniness of all this level of people. It's great. It's unbelievable. It's highly believable, of course. I know, but you want to say unbelievable. I mean, do we need to see what else do I have?

Starting point is 01:50:27 I don't think I have anything else. What happened to Trump? One of his latest rally redux. That's probably a clip we're playing. Oh, it's always fun to listen to. I'm here in Freeland, Michigan, where former President Trump is holding a rally right after he held one earlier today in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Both of these states are key battleground states in this election. In both of these states, key battleground states in this election.

Starting point is 01:50:49 In both of these states, Trump lost to Biden in 2020. Michigan, he lost by less than three percentage points. In Wisconsin, he lost by less than 1%. However, a poll by the Harvard-Capps-Harris poll this week puts Trump ahead of Biden. 48% of the participants said they would back Trump, 43% for Biden, and 9% said that they were unsure. Earlier, I spoke with Epoch Times reporter on this campaign, Lawrence Wilson, to hear his thoughts about it. These are close races. They're both states with a lot of electoral votes, and so both candidates are vying hard for them. hard for them. And President Trump is here today to bring his message about the economy and particularly hammer, I think, the current president on his job with inflation, because both these states have been pretty hard hit with inflation. President Trump is expected to bring up the inflation under the Biden administration, as well as the record-breaking surge in illegal immigration,

Starting point is 01:51:41 as well as the hush money case that's now entering its third week. And Trump has to appear at every one of these trials or else he faces the possibility of arrest. Yesterday, he was just fined $9,000 by the judge saying he violated a gag order related to the case. This case stems from his former lawyer paying an adult film store, Stormy Daniels, back in 2016, not to go public, and Trump has accused... Wait, didn't we already hear this guy? Is this another guy saying adult p*rn store instead of p*rn star? Is this the same clip?

Starting point is 01:52:14 No, this is a new clip. He's also, this is the same guy, p*rn store. Well, maybe it's, I think, Stormy Daniels star, I think you're getting... I know. I don't know. But the NTD people can't pronounce Starr. And Trump has to appear at every one of these trials or else he faces the possibility of arrest.

Starting point is 01:52:32 Yesterday, he was just fined $9,000 by the judge saying he violated a gag order related to the case. This case stems from his former lawyer paying an adult film store, Stormy daniels uh back in 2016 not to go public and trump is accused of falsifying business records related to this case all of which trump has repeatedly uh denied these allegations yeah i'm just gonna say it again this is only to make it look like they tried and they'll push ben all and when he when he becomes president because they want him to so they can pull the rug, pull the rug, collapse everything they need to.

Starting point is 01:53:08 We've got, they're talking about stagflation now on CNBC. Did you guys talk about this? Yeah. We talked about it. Is that a real possibility? This is not good. Well,

Starting point is 01:53:20 I don't think personally don't think so because this sort of stagflation, which was the earmark of the 70s, and that's when the term was invented because nobody saw anything like it before, was an element that was so singular to that era that I just don't like. In fact, Horowitz deconstructed it. There's some missing elements from the real definition. And I don't know why they're talking about stagflation personally. Well, everybody listen to DH Unplugged episode 700, the big 700 episode. I have not heard it yet. And I want to go listen to that so I can find out what the missing elements are.

Starting point is 01:54:00 These elements are discussed. Because, I mean, the timeline, 68, convention, big mess, Nixon wins, Trump wins. The timeline is perfect for another downturn. Stagflation is perfect timing for it. So anyway, and then they're going to blame all the black people. Oh, well, you know, it was Fannie Willis. It was who's the jamoke in New York? Yeah. I can't.

Starting point is 01:54:26 And Joy Reid. Joy Reid will be out of a job. Let's hope so. Your job, Joy, was to take him down. And Robin, what's her name? She does the morning shows now. She used to be Bernie Sanders' handler.

Starting point is 01:54:42 Robin Sanders. Is it Robin Sanders? Robin Sanders. Sanders. Yeah. They're going to take her. Everyone's going to get blamed. They kick them out and cable will be white again. Let's make cable white.

Starting point is 01:54:53 Let's make cable white again. That's what's coming. I sent you a piece. I don't, I got it. I got it. About the, about,

Starting point is 01:55:01 I guess glad or some gay organization has been keeping tabs on how many gay faces there are on network TV, and it's been declining. Yes, I have it here. GLAAD, the Gay Lesbian Something Association. I can't remember what GLAAD stands for, actually. Yeah. On Tuesday, GLAAD released the findings of the 19th edition of Where We Are on TV, a report for the media watchdog group that analyzes the number of LGBTQ regular and recurring characters on scripted primetime broadcast, scripted primetime cable, and scripted series on eight major streaming platforms.

Starting point is 01:55:46 primetime cable and scripted series on eight major streaming platforms by the way i read another article that says you probably should not give up your blu-ray and dvd players and discs just yet the expectation that these streaming companies will not last is uh is out there so um but turns So it turns out that we declined from 77 LGBTQ characters to 62. That's a drop of 45% from last year's 139. 38 of the 77 characters not be returning due to ending or cancellations. Of the show. Of the show, yeah. Gee, I wonderations of the show of the show yeah gee i wonder because the show sucked other key findings of 468 lgbtq characters there were 24 transgender characters a decrease of eight from the previous study 232 characters of color oh coc, COC. I like this. We can go from black people to African Americans to people of color to characters of color.

Starting point is 01:56:50 Hey, look, there's a group of character of colors over there. How would you pronounce that? Cox. How racist are these people? I am not. Characters of color. Give me a break. Decrease of 72.

Starting point is 01:57:07 And only one LGBTQ character was found living with HIV. My goodness. I'm glad someone tracks it all. Equity is not good. Hollywood is doing bad. They're doing them wrong. Very, very bad. It's so disgusting. How about just people and actors is that a crazy idea

Starting point is 01:57:27 is that a crazy idea i guess it's crazy crazy completely nuts crazy idea um a little bit on the bird flu i i look we didn't we have done a lot of bird flu stories throughout the uh and i forget the term again the the uh i'm gonna write it time no frame of the show it was that it time frame yeah time for i wrote it down oh the time frame of the show or the show's time frame maybe even better i think time frame of is throughout the time frame of the show we have done uh many bird flu stories we go back to 2011 uh that was the earliest that i have uh reports of and we had chinese bird flu we can't canadian bird flu culling a lot of culling dutch bird flu culling yep that was war on chicken french bird flu the war on chicken we had the war on chicken. French bird flu. The war on chicken. We had the war on chicken, yep.

Starting point is 01:58:27 We had a jingle. Yeah, well, maybe we could resurrect that, I guess, because it is technically the war on chicken. The war on chicken. Unfortunately, this bird flu is going beyond chicken. It is going to milk and the latest. We turn to the bird flu concerns here in the U.S. after fighting the virus in some dairy cows in several states. The USDA says it will now sample some ground beef sold at stores in those states where dairy cows tested positive. Authorities say the U.S. meat supply does remain safe.

Starting point is 01:59:05 Meantime, there are reports a bottlenose dolphin in Florida has died from bird flu, possibly the first dolphin in the U.S. to die of the virus. Flipper! Let's stop the presses. Flipper! Flipper! Flipper!

Starting point is 01:59:21 First of all, this reminds me of a story from the 80s about poisoned grapes coming in from Chile. And it's like, so you have a dead dolphin. And you test it for bird flu. Why? What would that test even take place? Was it coughing up feathers? I mean, what would... You got a dead dolphin. Why? Why? What would that test even take place? What was it? Did it? Was it coughing up feathers?

Starting point is 01:59:49 I mean, what would you got a dead dolphin? You know, you do what you don't test it for every possible contagion in the world. This just makes no sense to me. You chop it up and sell us tuna. That's what you do with a dead dolphin. But no, we tested for bird. I probably tested it for COVID so along with this well that's possible so then i don't know if you saw this i don't have a a clip but uh some dead cats from

Starting point is 02:00:14 from drinking milk that had bird flu in it oh poor puss* cats died oh bull crap well of course if you look at the story they died from raw milk, which is double. Oh, they're trying to go after raw milk anyway. So it kind of works both ways. If you've ever been to a raw milk dairy, we have one up in Washington. There's one around here somewhere. It's the cleanest place you've ever seen. They're not feeding them chicken parts or anything else.

Starting point is 02:00:43 They get grass fed. This is all what i told you this is about this is for control of mainly a beef here's a here's a here's a short clip from a female rancher so recently the usda came out with a law stating that all cattle and bison in the united states have to have eid tags we have six months to comply with this new law what is an eid tag it's an electronic identification tag that tag stores all the information about our cattle it has vaccination schedules it has feed schedules it has medical history now while that sounds really good on paper there's a part of me that believes this is for a greater purpose.

Starting point is 02:01:30 Most people are processing their livestock through federal or state inspected facilities. Part of me believes that in the future, with these tags, they're going to be able to see everything that you've done with that cow. And if you don't do what they want, will they let you process? I don't know. So that's exactly. Wait, wait, wait. When she says part of me believes, what part? Her left leg?

Starting point is 02:01:50 I mean, what does that mean? Oh, don't. Part of me believes. Don't be a douche. Our anonymous rancher wrote in and said, before I saw this, I was thinking more like John that they wanted testing. And I always think any negative news about cattle is a hit on the beef cattle market to drop prices so the packers can buy animals cheaper. The longer this goes on, the more I worry that you, Adam, may be right,

Starting point is 02:02:13 that they are coming for our cattle. We, not like the chicken and hog producers who are vertically integrated with their packers, but with only four big beef packers, of which one is completely owned by China through Brazil, I would imagine they are scheming to make it that way. We are a defiant bunch. We just need to figure out what's really going on. Good news is that they did the ground beef study, which, by the way, is total. I mean, ground beef from the supermarket could have a hundred different cows in it.

Starting point is 02:02:44 And who knows what else? Human parts. Ground beef from the supermarket could have a hundred different cows in it. And who knows what else? Human parts. I mean, I will not buy ground beef from the supermarket. Uh-uh. But they did the test, and I have the results here. It just came in from the USDA. Samples of ground beef obtained at retail in the affected states.

Starting point is 02:03:05 Final results posted May 1st 2024 samples were collected at retail outlets in the states in which dairy cattle herds have tested positive for h5n1 influenza virus the samples were analyzed by aphis using a polymerase chain reaction pcr to indicate whether any viral particles were present. No particles were found to be present. So we've passed this test so far. I haven't heard anyone really talk about it because it was yesterday. You'd think that that would be some news, but no, we got to keep it all ramped up,

Starting point is 02:03:39 keep people scared. And of course, this had to come up in the briefing at the White House. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Jean-Pierre. What's your current assessment of the risk scared and of course this had to come up in the uh in the briefing at the white house kareen abdul jabbar jean-pierre what's your current assessment of the risk to the u.s uh milk and meat supply from the herd food yeah so uh i know that uh um agriculture has been on top of this, I know that they are not seeing any concerns to milk or... If you could... I'm trying to set up a joke. Okay, I'll shut up.

Starting point is 02:04:12 I'm trying to set up a joke. It's not even going to be funny now. It's like you do that... Okay, but you have to realize... Whenever I'm trying to set up a joke... You have to realize I hate listening to her. Well, I know, and I'm going to set up a joke that will make you... You could have probably shut me up in a different her. Well, I know, and I'm going to set up a joke that will make you... You could have probably shut me up

Starting point is 02:04:26 in a different way. No, because... Listen carefully is your best bit. Yeah, but I have to... I've done that five times already. No, you've done it once, but okay. But okay. Go on, Karen. Agriculture has been on top of this. I know that they are not seeing any

Starting point is 02:04:42 concerns to milk or any of the cattle or the meat or meat that we're consuming. Well, I don't consume meat, but... There it is. What? Shocker. She doesn't consume meat. Uh-huh.

Starting point is 02:04:57 Yeah, we knew that, Kareem. Oh, another... I don't even want to... That was... It would have been funnier. No. It wouldn't have been funnier. It's depressing.

Starting point is 02:05:11 It's depressing. She doesn't like meat. Surprise. Okay. And why does she have to virtue signal that? To all her lesbian friends? Yes, yes, of course. Of course, her trans malice.

Starting point is 02:05:25 As you know, I don't eat meat, but I can talk about meat. Yes, it's a virtue signal. Of course it's a virtue signal. Speaking of such, one of our producers, and we've been talking about this, about that people are not taught the Constitution of the United States anymore. And this producer clearly has too much time on his hands. He went to whitehouse.gov,

Starting point is 02:05:48 and they have a whole page on the Constitution. Then it's the Constitution page. Why a Constitution? Then it explains, I'm not going to go through the whole explanation of the Constitution, but then it says the Bill of Rights. And it says, it has their it says the Bill of Rights. And it says, it has their interpretation of the Bill of Rights.

Starting point is 02:06:10 Really? Is that hard to figure out? Well, the Second Amendment. What do you think? According to WhiteHouse.gov. Here we go. The Second Amendment on the White House Constitution page reads as such. The Second Amendment gives citizens the right to bear arms.

Starting point is 02:06:32 No, that's not correct. We have the right to bear arms. They just cut this down to one line. First Amendment provides that congress make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting its free exercise it protects freedom of speech no no they can't do this well they can clearly they're just pairing it down into like you know this constitution gives you the rights. This is all your rights given by the Constitution.

Starting point is 02:07:08 So they don't give you the real basis for all these rights. No. It's to keep the government from interfering. Yes. And to keep the government out of your life. Yes. No, no, no, that's no good. We can't talk about that.

Starting point is 02:07:21 We can't have that. It's part of the idea that there are people, most of them Democrats, that think we should have one national government. The whole state's idea is dumb. And the government should provide for us. It should give us the rules that we should live by instead of what the Constitution really does, which is keep the government from doing stuff they shouldn't be doing. Correct. Correct. Yeah, that's what they teach in school now, too, I'm sure. It's so wrong.

Starting point is 02:07:53 If I'm in the second grade teaching kids, I'm brainwashing kids, I'd put that page right up on the big projector right in front of them and read right from it. Boom. From the government. Must be true so i've been uh tracking what's going on in georgia the country um as we see yes there's some action yes well i'm going to do the give you the setup and then the update of the action this is um the exact same playbook we haven't seen victoria newland uh with cookies yet but there's 20 000 people they're protesting the government because of some russian horrible thing which is really a law which

Starting point is 02:08:32 already they voted on once they're doing they're going to do another second reading and vote on it again but it's majority voted yes that um you you can't if if you are a nonprofit that gets more than 20% of its funding from outside Georgia, then you have to register as such. Hold on a second. Let me get this straight. So I create a nonprofit, let's say in Georgia, the country. Yes. And I get all my money from the U.s government cia and i call the the thing uh and i have some name and everything for it yeah and george because i get all that money from the

Starting point is 02:09:11 united states or from cutter or from saudi arabia whatever i have to now register as a foreign agent and that's bad oh yeah because uh how's it bad it's a russian law they call it the russia law because they did yeah i'm telling it's nuts because it's russia's fault whatever it is it's a Russian law. They call it the Russia law. Because they did. Yeah, I'm telling you, it's nuts. Because it's Russia's fault. Whatever it is, it's Russia's fault. Because Russia wants this. And all these people who are there, guess what they want?

Starting point is 02:09:37 Oh, they all want to be in the European Union. So I find a report on France 24. And as I'm looking at it, I'm like, I've seen this report. I've seen it four different times. All of our European partner news networks are rolling out a pre-packaged package from Radio Free Europe. Should we just review who Radio Free Europe is? That's Voice of America. is. That's Voice of America. That's Tucker Carlson's dad's old job. That's the broadcast board of governors. It's, in essence, intelligence. It's CIA, State Department. It's

Starting point is 02:10:16 propaganda. That's what it's for. That's what it does. That's what it's for. It's what it's created for. Yeah, of course it is, because that's a good thing. And so here's France 24 leading into the package our intelligence service told them to put on TV. Thousands of Georgians have staged a march for Europe, calling on the government to scrap its controversial foreign influence bill. The EU has warned it would undermine Tbilisi's European aspirations. There have been mass anti-government protests since mid-April

Starting point is 02:10:46 when the ruling Georgian Dream Party reintroduced plans to pass a law critics say resembles Russian legislation used to silence dissent. Well, let's hear from some of those thousands of people on the streets there in Tbilisi. I'm here to protest against the so-called Russian law. This is a law which stigmatizes any free-minded person, a free-minded organization which receives more than 20% of its funding from foreign sources. And there are hundreds of such NGOs who have done so much good for Georgia and now they face being stigmatized and also possibly shut down

Starting point is 02:11:26 because the law gives the powers to the Ministry of Justice to shut any of them at their discretion. We should have a free country and I don't believe in everything that the Georgian Dream has been saying and me and my friends have been on all of these protests for the past two weeks. And we've been fighting for it. And we've missed like three days to be on every single one. I'm angry and I'm sad, kind of. Most of all, I'm very happy that so many people are showing up today. I'm very proud of these people around me because it's fantastic that so many believe in the same cause and i think it's very important for us to believe in this cause so very important to believe in this

Starting point is 02:12:11 cause she speaks better english than the georgians i personally know that live around here in georgia yeah in georgia in georgia the state yeah exactly yeah she speaks better english than a georgia from georgia so there's an update and this is exactly how the my don started protesters scrambled for safety as georgia's police began cracking down deploying water cannons and firing tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse thousands of people rallying outside Parliament. Several people were injured, including opposition lawmakers. This is completely illegal what they are doing. People have peaceful protests and you see that they are behaving illegally. This is busy in Iwanish really and people will never surrender.

Starting point is 02:13:04 Georgia people will win this battle. Protesters had tried to block Georgia's parliament amid the second reading of the so-called Russian law. So what we need next are little green men. Remember that? Little green men need to come in. That'll be the Russian people, but it's really snipers on the roof

Starting point is 02:13:21 who start killing police, start killing people on the square victoria hands out cookies then we have a phone call the phone call is who we're going to put in remember this is this is we went through this with shakashvili the guy who was eating his tie yeah remember that this is within the time frame of the show within the time frame of the show if we are you want some history tell your kids to put that book down history is in the time frame of this show this is the time frame of the show is your history it's all you really need to know so uh i'm afraid that we're going to open up a new front on Russia.

Starting point is 02:14:14 You know, well, you can't, you know, you'll be a candidate for the European Union with your new freedom government, anti-corruption government. And, you know, we think you should probably be in NATO, too. That's a good idea. Yeah. You can wait for it within the time frame of the show. You can just wait for it within the time frame of the show. You can just wait for it. It's so blatantly obvious. And this show, within the time frame of the show, will probably be illegal in Australia.

Starting point is 02:14:39 I'm surprised that anyone in Australia can listen to us. That country has lost it. It's unbelievable. You know, I got a very thoughtful note from one of our producers in Australia. It was kind of funny and sad at the same time because he said, you know, you're spot on, but some things you're wrong.

Starting point is 02:15:03 And he wrote this long thing. And unfortunately, it was only the bad stuff. He forgot to put the good stuff in or the stuff that we had gotten wrong. And it is. Things are kind of sad and bad in Australia. Not everybody, of course. You put Elmer Fudd in charge, that guy. Well. Albanese or whatever the hell you pronounce his name i don't care albanese albanese albanese albanese good and easy

Starting point is 02:15:34 albanese cheap and easy albanese um so and i and i appreciate our let me see if i and both sides there's no political discourse you want to hear like everybody's on board. You want to hear this a little bit? Yeah, you're a good reader. The truth is you are right on the money, but also wrong at the same time. He forgot to give that part, but he sends it later. Over the past two years, I've seen a worrying trend of Aussies slipping into a dream. At the height of... I need some like green sleeves music for this.

Starting point is 02:16:01 At the height of the pandemic, you could have been mistaken to believe that we had enough power to overturn the decisions of political ruling class with how many people were activated by lockdowns, mandates, and such. But once the mandates took full effect, most people rolled over and got the shot. I have no malaise towards these people. Many no agenda folk in our circle felt forced to do the same, but have now dropped off the map from our groups, from our groups, no agenda groups. Others have dropped off because life seems to have, quote, gone back to normal. Australia is the lucky country. Life has always been good. The people around here, my age, I'm 40, have never really had to fight for anything. The political process is not something anyone

Starting point is 02:16:38 is familiar with. In their eyes, politics happens once every four years. We have no power in between them. Sound familiar familiar if we don't like something we'll vote them out unfortunately just like the usa we have a two-party system essentially and the other side is just as bad if not worse trying to activate the average australian is near impossible and politically activating the already activated is just as hard only three months ago i work with the group to get co-signatures on a submission to the covid royal commission inquiry from a huge base of activated austral. All that has to be done was sign your name and it will go directly to the Senate hearing. Out of around 800,000 to a million people, we got

Starting point is 02:17:15 45,000 signatures. Australians have been crushed into submission. On top of that, Australians are now facing a cost of living crisis. We've become addicted to nice things and we'll do anything to keep this addiction going. Almost everyone I know owns a house worth $1 million or above, which is about $400,000 US dollars, I guess. My brother-in-law bought his house for $900,000 reduced four years ago, paying $3,500 a month in mortgage repayments. That house is now worth 1.4 million, but the interest rates have gone to over 6,000. He and his family now have to rent

Starting point is 02:17:50 this out and move into a sh*tty house in Melbourne just to get by. This is very common. I mean, this is a depressing, depressing, depressing note. I could go on and on about transgender politics or the drug issues or aboriginal crime and living conditions man this sounds a lot like us with with your dollar worth less money australia is on knife's edge you won't see it in the hearts of our glitzy cities but it's here unspoken but it's boiling away right below the surface so uh prime minister albanese comes out he's making more of the big speech about e-safety our girl over there what's her name the e-safety girl yeah the e-safety girl lynn lynn swan or whatever her name is the e-safety girl more money for the e-safety girl because of something you and

Starting point is 02:18:39 i are guilty of throughout the span the um i wrote it down throughout the time frame of the show today also we're announcing a suite of online measures to help combat toxic male extremist views that's us joe toxic male extremist views we need toxic male extremist views yes it, it's known as TMV. About women online. When I've spoken to parents around the country, they expressed their concern about the exposure of young boys and young men to violent videos and imagery online. And that is something that is was mentioned by states and territories when they went around their their what their jurisdictions were doing we will introduce legislation to ban the creation and distribution of deep fake p*rnography sharing sexually explicit material using technology like artificial intelligence will be subject to serious criminal penalties.

Starting point is 02:19:49 A new phase of the Stop It At The Start campaign will launch in mid-June and will run until May 2025. This new phase will include a counter-influencing campaign in online spaces where violent and misogynistic content thrives to directly challenge the material in the spaces that it's being viewed counter influencing campaign he says stop it at the what stop it in those spaces where it happens podcasts no he had some deal phrase it was stop it at the bum campaign to stop it at the blah, blah, blah. Whatever. Can I interrupt you with a clip?

Starting point is 02:20:28 Yeah, please. Okay. There's the violent. This is just the kind of violent male toxicity thing. Here's a white woman on talking about white men. This is a TikTok clip. We are talking specifically about white men. And I'm just going to say it f*cking unapologetically going to say it white men are the most dangerous species in the entire

Starting point is 02:20:54 f*cking world to women and to everyone else so we can reframe right men want to be like i'm not all it's always a white man that f*cking says that by the way not all men are like that okay so let's reframe the question would you rather be trapped in the woods with a white man or a black man a white man or an arab man a white man or an asian man a white man or an italian man this one might be tough a white man or an Asian man, a white man or an Italian man. This one might be tough. A white man or a Frenchman. White men are the problem. You are who we are all afraid of.

Starting point is 02:21:31 And if you all do not start f*cking changing your sh*t, we're going to come f*cking eat you. Bye. You could have done a little warning about this clip. That was pretty safe, not safe for clip. That was pretty profane. I'm sorry, safe, not safe for work. That's pretty profane. Oh, she's a horrible woman. And the thing is, what is her definition of a white guy if it's not a Frenchman?

Starting point is 02:21:55 Well, they're the worst. Now, is this just one lady or is this a trend that you detect on TikTok? Oh, I think there's tons of this, yeah. But we need more of these clips, but we need to know if I'm sorry, I apologize. I actually thought I put it on there and I should have reminded myself. I do. I have it

Starting point is 02:22:16 with the other clip, not safe for work, but yeah, I should have bleeped it or I should have done something. I feel bad now. It was shocking. It was shocking. was shocking well let's let's talk about white men because you've never heard anything like that in your life uh we put uh one white man behind bars for 25 years uh that is sam bankman freed son of the stanford professors of taxation and finance who uh were on the payroll for millions of dollars

Starting point is 02:22:42 being slush funded into their non-profit which they used to then stop trump from getting elected ftx was also used to funnel money to lots of politicians it was in effect a great way to launder money into the political system. They let the autistic kid take the fall, including his parents. And the setup guy who set this up, who of course has one of the biggest, I'm just my opinion, money laundering operations, is the Binance CEO. He's the one that triggered it. I think, here's what I think happened. There was all this fraud running through all these

Starting point is 02:23:25 altcoins and probably using Bitcoin as the underlying asset to funnel all this money all over the place. Ukraine, it's all been documented. Everyone's in on it. It's all groovy. Hey, the autistic kid, he's getting out of control. Hey, listen, Binance guy, you got to take him down remember when binance came out and said oh i'm gonna buy you because you know you're uh you're selling your own token and it's all gonna collapse yes i think you're i think you're onto something here so the binance guy whose company is still here binance didn't have to go away so they arrested him they arraigned him and they sentenced him.

Starting point is 02:24:05 Trailed by a team of attorneys, Cheng Peng Zhao headed into federal court in Seattle to be sentenced, following his guilty plea for money laundering violations. Inside the courtroom, a judge ordered him to serve four months in prison. Police! Four months? Four months. Wow. Yeah, and oh, and he's got to pay some fines. Big deal. Far less than the three years sought by prosecutors. We thought an incarceration, period of incarceration was critical in this case, and we're pleased that that was the result.

Starting point is 02:24:37 Zhao founded Binance, which grew into the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the world. But federal prosecutors said the company failed to have an anti-money laundering program in place as is required by U.S. law. That allowed terrorist groups like Hamas, as well as drug traffickers, and the Democrat Party, and child abusers, to use the exchange to fund their own criminal activities. This was an intentional act, and this intentional act by the CEO and by Binance made the company large and profitable. Aside from the prison term, Zhao was also fined $50 million.

Starting point is 02:25:15 His company Binance was also implicated in the illegal activity and ordered to pay more than $4 billion in penalties. Prosecutors called the case unprecedented and pushed for double the standard penalty of 18 months for such crimes, saying it could help deter future crimes. However, the judge found Zhao remorseful, cooperative during the investigation, and without any prior convictions,

Starting point is 02:25:41 which factored into the decision to order Zhao to spend four months behind bars. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. Four months and they put the autistic kid who they put on the cover of Fortune magazine, Forbes, who they completely abused. They throw the book at him 25 years. It's unbelievable. These people don't even care about their own children. Complete scam. Yeah, one played ball, the other one didn't. No, but the kid is

Starting point is 02:26:13 not good in his head. Yeah. I know, it's pathetic. Everyone made out like bandits on that one. Everybody made out. Unbelievable. No, I'm sorry.

Starting point is 02:26:27 It's very believable. Very believable. Yes, we have to both stop saying that. Yes. We do have another dead whistleblower. As a little aside. Yes, this is a good story. Yes.

Starting point is 02:26:37 Not for him. You know, I found out. Hillary must be on the board of Boeing. Yeah. Well, he didn't work at Boeing. No, he was at the Boeing. His Boeing spirit. Spirit Aerosystems.

Starting point is 02:26:51 Dies after sudden infection. Yeah. He had influenza B. Goes into the hospital. Oh, I mean, was it? Yeah. Dean tested positive for influenza B, which is the flu,

Starting point is 02:27:11 and MRSA, a difficult-to-treat bacterial infection and developed pneumonia. He was intubated, put on dialysis, as well as airlifted to another hospital to be put on an ECMO machine. A CT scan showed he had also suffered a stroke. They were

Starting point is 02:27:27 considering amputating his hands and feet but he could still talk so they decided to cut off the oxygen. Doesn't actually say that but he could talk without hands and feet. So and he was a whistleblower and he had quite a bit to say about the quality of work.

Starting point is 02:27:43 Coincidence. coincidence yeah i think not yeah it's poor guy yeah you know just you know what it kind of says don't be a whistleblower i think that message been coming across in the last number of years with both the obama and the biden administration not a good idea all right little big pharma i got some big pharma here just to uh to wrap up the important stuff um ozempic is a dynamite product everybody knows it it's fantastic you're you lose your butt you lose your face you got to stay on it forever but you won't get diabetes. And now yet another side effect of Ozempic that people just won't care about because, hey, I can eat whatever I want.

Starting point is 02:28:30 Morning on In Depth today, something new to consider when it comes to popular drugs for weight loss. So you may have seen Ozempic personality making the rounds on social media. It's a term used. Have you seen this making the rounds on social media? No, I have not, and I'm on the rounds of social media. I'm like a rounds guy. Ozempic personality. To broadly address changes in mood and attitude, sometimes serious, that some people say that they feel after being on those medications.

Starting point is 02:28:56 Okay, NBC's senior consumer investigative correspondent, Vicki Wynn, is here with a closer look. Hi, Vicki. Hey, good morning, Savannah, Hoda, and Craig. As with any medication, people can expect to experience some side effects. But when you're talking about drugs that can lead to drastic weight loss through appetite suppression, users are also dealing with changes in their habits, how they socialize, and their appearance. And it is all leading some to worry that the medicines are changing who they are.

Starting point is 02:29:21 Oh, it changes who you are. My anxiety is through the freaking roof. It's the latest side effect that's giving some patients pause. I absolutely for months now have been feeling depressed. They say popular diabetes drugs, which are also used for weight loss such as Ozempic and Manjaro, are leading to mood changes and depression in what's been dubbed ozempic personality some users complain they don't feel like themselves their joy dulled i used to be a really positive bubbly like sunshine person and um over the last

Starting point is 02:29:58 year and a half i've kind of lost that since being prescribed ozempic sy, Sydney Foster has lost 90 pounds. She says it's her mental health that's now weighing her down. Is this making you rethink your relationship with this drug that you're using for weight loss? It has been. I know I don't want to have the same mindset forever. If it just means staying skinny, that's not what I want. These injections include the ingredient semaglutide, which regulates hunger and makes you feel full. But experts say its effect on mood needs more research. There has not been any link directly with the drug and any known personality disorder or any known psychiatric condition. But it would not be impossible to see a range of responses, including a change in personality.

Starting point is 02:30:46 possible to see a range of responses including a change in personality i'm thinking we can give you some ssris or antidepressants and clean that right up let's uh let's listen to more what vicky has to say after receiving 175 reports from ozempic and wagovi patients experiencing suicidal thoughts notice it's only those two not the other other products, only those. An FDA study. Yeah. Hit job. Someone didn't buy some ads. Found no link between the drugs and suicide, though the administration added it could not rule out that a small risk may exist, and it's continuing to study the issue. Wait, wait. So they found absolutely nothing, but you know.

Starting point is 02:31:24 This is small risk. this is small risk the small risk what's more while wagovi which is approved for chronic weight management lists depression as a possible side effect ozempic which is used to treat type 2 diabetes does not oh boo ozempic boo novo nordis the company behind both drugs says says it collaborates closely with the FDA to monitor the safety of all its medicines. Did you get the check? This latest complaint adding to a growing list from some patients. My biggest side effect was nausea. Health and Wellness Store GNC announcing its locations will now have a dedicated section of items that may help address more common side effects.

Starting point is 02:32:04 Oh, GNC did the buy. Like products that support GI health, muscle mass and bone density, and nutrition. And while doctors say the relationship between mood changes and the drugs needs to be studied, they're hopeful their benefits outweigh potential hazards. I am not worried about it when I weigh the risk of obesity, diabetes, and all the other health conditions against the use of this drug. Who cares? I look great. Who cares? I look I look dynamite.

Starting point is 02:32:35 I don't care how I feel. This is such a sad state. One more clip to close it out short. I mean, so many people are on these drugs now. One more clip to close it out short. I mean, Vic, so many people are on these drugs now. If you are feeling some of these feelings, what do doctors suggest that you do? Yeah, millions of people are on these drugs, Craig. And Dr. Patel says it makes sense that they would have a wide range of responses. But if you feel any changes in your mood, you're not feeling yourself, go talk to a therapist.

Starting point is 02:33:01 Go talk to a counselor right away. And also see a doctor about potentially changing the medication that you're on. That could help you as well. But she says, don't hesitate to seek help. And we should mention, we did reach out to Eli Lilly, the maker of Manjaro. They did not respond to our request. It's interesting because even if it's not the medication that's causing these feelings, a huge life change like that, losing a bunch of weight. It's an emotional change. It's not just a physical change.

Starting point is 02:33:32 And how people treat you and respond to you in your social circles can be another factor that can be isolating if you're the only one making these lifestyle changes. Oh, you need to get your friends on it because if you're the only one getting skinny, all your fat friends, you know, they'll make you feel bad. It's called survivor's guilt. That can be isolating. If you're the only one making these lifestyle changes and the friends you go out with aren't respectful of that or aren't into it, that can also make you feel

Starting point is 02:33:53 lonely. So reach out. Absolutely. Thank you. Reach out. Reach out and get someone on the program. Ooh. Ooh. This is not going to end well. This is going to be a fantastic class action lawsuit in the future.

Starting point is 02:52:43 Don't even have to play it. Should we even play it? It's a winner. We better better play just to make sure i clipped it correctly okay the show is crazy and it's a winner beautiful good news everybody and we've had a lot of good news this show. Now, there was this clip. I don't want to don't end the show after this clip, after you play the good news outro, because I have a comment about this clip. She's pretty hidden in there right now.

Starting point is 02:53:17 Wait, wait, wait. I'm still setting it up. Oh, I'm sorry. I thought I was so tight. This clip came in from one of our producers. I had to get it through. Mimi approved it, even though she hated the clip. Oh, I know what clip this is.

Starting point is 02:53:28 This is a famous clip. This has been played everywhere. Yes. So it's not new to our show. I mean, it's not exclusive. But it's an interesting, and it's a good version of it. There's reasons she hated it, but once I explained to her, after editing it, I discovered what I think really happened here, and I want to discuss it after the end,

Starting point is 02:53:48 but this is the good news clip about the poor cat that got packed in a box and shipped to Amazon. She's pretty hidden in there right now. Come on, kitty. Galena is a little timid. She's a hider. It's a game she plays. And she has a guilty pleasure. She loves to play in boxes. It's a game she plays. And she has a guilty pleasure. She loves to play in boxes.

Starting point is 02:54:05 It's just like part of her personality. But it took her a little too far from home. That was the worst part. We just had no idea what happened. Two weeks ago, Galena vanished. She just mysteriously disappeared. We had absolutely no idea what happened to her. Carrie and Matt Clark spent hours looking for a sign of their

Starting point is 02:54:25 beloved cat. We put tons of flyers up. We contacted friends and family to help us search. We searched for a whole week. But when it seemed all was lost. And then we got the most amazing, insane news in the entire world. A phone call. Galena's microchip was detected 650 miles away near Riverside, California. I just couldn't even believe that she was in California. I thought it was a prank. Like I still, still hard to wrap my brain around. Turns out Galena made her way to California via Amazon. She was trapped in an Amazon package. The Clarks were returning some shoes in this box. And it was in this really big-sized Amazon package. Galena managed to go undetected.

Starting point is 02:55:18 We had no idea, so Matt took her to, took the package to the drop-off without knowing that our dear cat was inside. She was discovered by Amazon employee Brandy, who took her under her care until the family could be reunited. And we are so thankful for Brandy and for everything that she did for our kitty. Galena went six days without food or water in the box. The Clarks say her recovery has been nothing short of miraculous. Like it was just the best because I know that under other circ*mstances that she wouldn't have been found. We're just so happy to have her again. Oh, my goodness.

Starting point is 02:55:50 Oh, my goodness. This is such a good news story, John. I'm so don't don't don't ruin it for me, please. I'm going to ruin it. We listen to this clip. And when you know, one thing about this show is when we listen to clips, you sometimes get intonations and other things. You don't get just what's audio as opposed to looking at something. Especially when you're editing and you're listening to it over and over again. Matt, the husband, put the cat in the box on purpose and shipped him off.

Starting point is 02:56:21 There is no doubt in my mind about it. Mimi agrees with me because she's seen this clip over and over. This was, and when you start listening to the guy's excuse, oh, it's just a big giant box. I don't know how the cat got in there. Bull crap. There's no way you're going to put a cat in a box and lock him in and then haul him to the station without the cat meowing and making a fuss.

Starting point is 02:56:41 No, this guy tried to, that cat must be, he probably scratched him or he hates cats or he'll have to just listen to the poor boy, the blonde wife who just goes on and on and on about this cat like it's the second coming of Christ. This was an attempt to kill the cat.

Starting point is 02:56:57 Failed. Good news. Good news. Good news. Another marriage in peril. Good news. Good, good news. Good news. Oh, another marriage in peril. Okay. Good news. If you know these people, you should tell her.

Starting point is 02:57:12 Hey, man, your husband tried to ship your cat off. Just saying. Just saying, baby. Just saying. All right, we'll take that deconstruction. Buzz kill on the mic, everybody. Can't have a good news story. Nope, got to buzz kill it.

Starting point is 02:57:30 That wraps it up. Fun show, everybody. Thank you, trolls. Thank you for being here. Trollroom.io. Listening live, of course, anywhere. Yeah, I don't know what's up next on the stream, actually. That's interesting.

In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we've got a great show coming up on Sunday where we talk about the new gender called kink.

Starting point is 02:58:16 I'm John C. Dvorak. Remember us at Dvorak.org slash an A, noagendadonations.com. Have a great Thursday, everybody. Until Sunday, adios, mofos, a-hooey, hooey, and such. Let's try this. Mic check. More mic check, mic check.

Starting point is 02:58:37 We have a saying in the Netherlands. What'd you say? You're playing yourself. You go to hell. You accuse others that of what you are guilty of. Yeah. Mic check. What you say to yourself with your head through the head.

Starting point is 02:58:56 Yeah. We have a saying in the Netherlands. Or mic check, mic check. What you say to yourself with your head through the head. Or mic check, mic check. You accuse others that of what you are guilty of. Boom. Yeah. Mic check, mic check.

Starting point is 02:59:25 Like you, Baines Elf magic. Open to older, health, legless grammar. Nailed it. What the hell is going on? What are they doing? Alice whispered to the griffin. This does look like January 6th. Walk with his head! Because some of them were animals and some were birds.

Starting point is 03:00:02 They need to watch the news. Who stole the tart? What a terrible example for our students. You want to set up an encampment. You should be ashamed. And I'll echo the horror that it's now in the realm of violence. Off with the bat! You want to scare people. It's in the realm of hatred, whether some are peaceful or not.

Starting point is 03:00:20 Don't talk nonsense. What are these universities doing? You've no right to grow here, said the Dormouse. You should be ashamed. You want to come to the edge of violence or even go to violence. But they haven't got much evidence yet. Gonna have no choice but to expel them. Behead that Dormouse.

Starting point is 03:00:38 What is the solution? Preserve free speech. Important, unimportant, unimportant, important. You're going to have no choice but to expel them. Off with the king! Besides, that's not a regular rule. You invented it just now. This does look like January 6th.

Starting point is 03:00:58 What do you know about this business, the king said to Alice? It's in the realm of hatred whether some are peaceful or not. Nothing whatever, said Alice. That proves his guilt, said to Alice. It's in the realm of hatred whether some are peaceful or not. Nothing whatever, said Alice. That proves his guilt, said the queen. It proves nothing of the sort, said Alice. No, no, said the queen. Sentence first, verdict afterwards. And I'll echo the horror.

Starting point is 03:01:17 Horror. Stuff and nonsense. The idea of having the sentence first. You want to set up an encampment? The queen of hearts, she made some tarts. They need to watch the news. The Knave of Hearts, he stole those tarts and took them quite away. This does look like January 6th.

Starting point is 03:01:34 I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it. What are these universities doing? Off with it! Starting next week, billions if not trillions of tiny invaders will begin their assault on nearly all of the country east of the Mississippi River. They've been laying in wait for 17 years until the time and temperature is right to begin their deafening dissent upon millions of Americans. We are talking about Brood 10 cicadas. Big cicada saute.
