1671 - "It's The Boyfriend"

Let's have a meeting. Adam curry Jhansi Devorah to 23rd 2020

for this award winning combination media assassination episode 1671

This is no agenda

and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in the Marines and number six in the morning everybody I'm Adam curry is from

Northern Silicon Valley where everybody knows that tea is good for you. I'm John C. Dvorak.

Buzzkill. No, it's not. Me It's not a tea is good for you. This this is not a fact. It is

asking a Chinese person.

Okay. You got a lot of them around there. Yeah, you got. Have you heard about your Chinese person in Oakland?

She's among.

She's Ma, she's not Chinese. She's manga. She's

Hmong which is the Cambodian ethnic group.

Okay, I thought it was pretty I thought the whole I thought the whole story where you want to hear this story? I actually I

clipped it for you. You should play it because I don't think anybody knows it.

No, this is a part of the season of reveal. As sees

more like the season to corruption, but go ahead.

It's been 48 hours since the FBI raided the home of Oakland Mayor Shang Tao along with at least two other locations, and the mayor is nowhere to be seen. We still don't know exactly what the FBI was looking for. Yesterday, we heard the mayor side of the story sort of she did hire an attorney, former prosecutor Tony brass, he suggested that there is no evidence that tau is the target

what's great about this story is so she is among would you say Mung Tao Chuck Tao Rishi, mung Mung what is

the difference? m o n g, what

is the difference between Chinese and manga?

Well, the Hmong are Cambodian, which is anything but Chinese. No, it's the south southeast Asian, all that whole, that whole area that he's not Chinese,

do they eat sushi?

No, I don't think so. All right, but whatever that's beside the point. The mine were kind of escaped from Cambodia during the period of Pol Pot in other situations, and they there's lots of Hmong and in the San Francisco Bay area, in fact, if you go to a farmers market, two or three of the stalls are Hmong and they, they're great if you check with their people, the Hmong are great people. This has got to be

wait, but wait, But wait, there's more. It's not her. Yeah, this is this is the follow up story. It's not her. It's the boyfriend. Yeah, you didn't know that. Did you?

Well, I didn't I actually I didn't hear this part of it. But I can say this is that they've been trying to recall her long before this investigation began because she's got some screw Enos about her. Yeah, including the net, you know, having some hard on regarding the ex chief of police and some other issues with the police department. And there's been a recall going on for at least six months. And so there's, yeah, maybe the boyfriend's got something to do with it, but she's suspicious. Well,

we have a we have a former chief of staff who is blowing the whistle. And they've got great video of her, I guess during her her election, or I guess when she was chosen, elected as mayor, and he's behind her leaning over like whispering in her ear like, yeah, tell him tell him this. Now, it helps that he's black. It just makes the whole thing fabulous.

When Nia Webb worked closely with and had access to shame town that few people have for a year and four months. Webb served this town's right hand person working as chief of staff when Tao was the district for council member websites she volunteered and spent countless hours on tells me your old campaign in 2022. She says she also led House transition team after Tao won the election. A lot of what's coming out now is the reason I resigned shortly

Blame it on the boyfriend. Blame it on the man

blame it on the black guy. Yeah, exactly. Oh, brother.

He looks pretty shady. I gotta tell you that they got good video of him like whispered in your ear. Yeah, now blame it on the boyfriend. It's great. It's fantastic.

We all it'll shake out eventually they they've raided a number of places. I think his house may have been one of them. But yeah, this has been going on for about a week or two. So she's not to be found. Now. She's no, no.

remote location is in Cambodia? Yeah,

she's in Cambodia.

So we're kind of in the summer doldrums. Although, you know, right now, the it's the big teams, most of the New York elite, certainly the news elite, they're all off to the Hamptons. You know, we've got July 4 weekend coming up, we're only going to really focus on one thing, which is all the debate. So all the news is that debate, the debate, oh Trump in the debate. And so instead of doing what we used to do during the summer months, I remember quite well when I was a kid. And

Anyway, remember that at all? I have to look at that. I've looked that one up. So

instead they're so lazy now we got cop 29 coming up in November in Baku. So instead of just showing the fun little, you know, swimming pool the beaches, it's everyone having a good time. It's hard. It's right. It's hard. The old frying an egg on the pavement in New York. I mean, we've this is what we used to do in the summer. No. Now it's extreme heat climate change. Breaking

overnight. Amtrak says two train lines between Newark, New Jersey and New York City are canceled until further notice. Due to an equipment failure that will surely take a toll on today's commute during the extreme heat extreme service has been restored along the rest of the Northeast Corridor after

all extreme. It's so hot, even though it's three weeks later than normally these hot temperatures come in. We can still make it sound like there's something of a crisis going on.

And you start this off on the dangerous temperatures in the air quality alerts in parts of the country. Ginger, good morning. Hey, good morning here in New York City. We had our first official 90 of the season. And while that was three and a half weeks behind average look at this shot from New York City now that we've broken the Seal of 90 degrees from web from the

I mean, it's it's it's later than usual, but it's a heatwave. It's our first 90 We've unsealed it. Oh, no.

But you know, callate we've topped all this in California. Oh, you have? Yeah, well, I mean, right now it's cold out of course. You know, that's typical. But no, do we decide to pass a law.

You got a law? What kind of law did you get? It

played the clip of California law. Second, California

law.

And a new rule is in effect in California protecting people who work indoors from dangerous heat. Oh amperes l 100. Maroondah has more more than a million people in California work jobs indoors that expose them to the kind of heat that can make people sick.

They have to do this at 82 degrees. You realize that people go to Hawaii, because it's 82 degrees all the time. Yeah, yeah, it's beautiful. It's 82 degrees, which is like the perfect temperature. You know, if you want to just enjoy your life. No, no, now it's like a disaster. Yeah. And then if it's seven, ah, we don't know what we're gonna do. Some

employers will now have to provide water and cooldown spaces for employees when it's above 82 degrees past 87 They'll have to find ways to cool workspaces with tools like fans or air conditioning or just work requirements.

Once you say it then fans air conditioner,

or air conditioner,

or just work requirements work is to work work

requirement now there was slow down it's like a union Slow down, slow down.

Gotta boots on the ground from one of our producers. He says, you know, as Josh, I was listening to 1670 in the New York heat wave as someone who's worked outside for 14 years in southern Arizona, I have little boots on the ground.

Arizona and that's fine. There we go.

When this heat dome pass through, it was toasty. Sure, but local news and radio blasted out excessive heat warnings and dangerous heat wave. What was the high in Tucson on those days? 102. I've lived in Tucson since 2007. ridden motorcycles year round. Sure it's warm. But I know for a fact the first time I heard an excessive heat warning warming

scam. This is ridiculous. The new news media is off the rails. Well, we need

to keep our eye on this because this is where they're gonna. They're gonna get us with this nonsense. And we're laughing at it but we can't just laugh about it because it's killing the new commerce.

Parts of the US and Mexico are in the grip of a searing heatwave with the Northeast United States seeing record high temperatures on the southern border with Mexico and arid climate already means hot weather. But now that heat has turned deadly for migrants attempting to cross the border migrants.

No, not even illegal migrants migrants. This migrants. It's killing the newcomers. They're dying out there of heat exhaustion. And at the United Nations, they have a survey which shows something that I don't think anybody believes the

recent heat waves we've been across Europe, Asia, and now the eastern half of the US are no surprise to climate scientists and UN officials. off the highway to climates. Yes, we exceed Dominus 100 over Maine and New Brunswick, Canada, so that's where the most intense departure from average is going to occur. The record temperatures across Asia Europe and the Middle East have reportedly caused hundreds of deaths, including many Muslim

they take into account the climate crisis? Or do they take into account the weather? I'm gonna think it's the weather. Oh, look at this cute top. Let me think that would be perfect for the climate crisis this summer. This is so ridiculous. You know,

the other thing is about these deaths at the

highs. I went all the people die in there.

There's always it and they're usually from out of town because the locals in the Middle East.

What do you what are you from around here?

You're not from around there. They're from Indonesia. You know, the big Muslim country in the world is Indonesia. And there's other countries they got a lot of a lot of Muslims, they go to the Hajj once in their life. Yeah. And then they did stay out. There never been to the Middle East. And they don't know you don't even go outside between my tickets like 1130 and four. And it's unbelievable.

They had a lot of a lot of reports on the BBC when I was still over there. I'm back in Texas, obviously when I was still over there. And it was about these people who had died and they had a horrible stories like some grandma who's 72 called with a last dying breath called her daughter. You know, as she she she dies on the phone. And what most of them were talking about was that they had no illegal tour operators who weren't officially sanctioned to bring people over

Yeah, they're basically murderers.

So I just want to stick with the climate crisis here. Joy re read had an interesting twist on the on the money scamming being done off of this,

that will begin tonight with the lucrative Politics of Climate collapse and the greed that is literally letting our country burn. Okay.

So instead of people ripping us off for this nonsense, she's just twisted it around. I think that's what we call gaslighting.

Today. Millions of Americans from Iowa to Maine are suffering through heat warnings or advisories full on

stop. She's correct. We're only suffering through the warnings, not the actual heat. That's exactly

what I noticed. There's suffering from heat warnings

and advisories. I am suffering from that.

Yes. Today. Millions of Americans from Iowa to Maine are suffering through heat warnings, watches or advisories, cities across half of the country like Chicago, St. Louis, in the apple, Indianapolis, Detroit, Philly, and now New York, are hitting temperatures exceeding 90 degrees. Oh, no. It feels closer to 100.

This, this feels like it has got to stop. I mean, this feels like

a good point. That is that has become a common occurrence. Yeah. Feels

feels like and it's like, do you really know the difference between 92 and 100? A feel and why does it feels like is that because of the wet bulb is that? Well, we're back to now feels like

that's what I'm guessing are hitting

temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit. So it feels closer to 100. Many of these cities could experience heat indexes hitting 105 degrees,

HEAT indexes, mind you heat indexes. That's not the temperature. It's the heat index. 105

degrees by Sunday looks increasingly oppressive hot days article incidents. They are they are the predictable impact of the climate crisis.

Oops, you flubbed that one too, which is interesting is

increasingly oppressive. hot days aren't a coincidence. They aren't. They are the predictable impacts of climate crisis. And they're not just an inconvenience. They're also killing us at higher rates, killing us heat related deaths among older Americans have increased 54% In recent decades. In Florida, changing weather patterns are bombarding the southern tip of the state with a seemingly never ending series of storms that have left whole streets flooded cars crippled

But we have 300 million people in this country. We had two people dead. Yeah,

but you know, hey, it could have been you and listen to the fires

in California. More than 20 fires were sparked across the state since Saturday, burning over whizzes 1000 acres. These aren't just climate stories. They're actually economic stories because people are getting paid good money to ignore them. Ah ha

money for ignoring it.

Well thinks she's talking about us these podcasters good money,

but we're not getting any we're not getting good money. The least. No

kidding. Well, there's part two to this

not only a big donors bought themselves, some politicians, they got some podcasters in their pocket too. But they've also bought themselves a federal judiciary that cares more about rich corporations and wealthy donors than they do about your health and well being. The Supreme Court is the most pro oligarch of All Time Pro

oligarch of all. So this is some this is some good script writing. I mean, she's really nailing it with the heat index and the fields like and and the old pro oligarch. I guess he's talking about the Supreme Court. We do have an interesting twist, although she won't mention it by name.

The six Leonard Leo, Justices Barrett, Kavanaugh, Gorsuch, Alito, Roberts, and Thomas, have the most I repeat the most pro big business voting records in the history of the court.

Is that true? Can we verify that you can verify that the most pro business will oligarch this is again,

this is all about the Chevron deference? Right.

Listen, listen.

They've ruled that corporations are people that the Environmental Protection Agency cannot protect you from pollution, and they're ready to stop

it. At least three of those justices weren't involved in the corporations are people decision. Yeah, they were on their own three dates. It predates Dorset, it predates good Kashmir, it predates the other way. Leader, good catch, so she's a liar. No. Stop rambling.

Our mental protection agency cannot protect you from pollution. And they're ready to go even further by stifling the regulatory power of all federal agencies.

stifling the power, I can't wait for Chevron deference to come up. That's going to be it's going to be so

cool to freak out though is it's weird. Why? Why is she or anybody else defending the bureaucratic state? Is

it because possibly, that really is the deep state and this is where they get their, their information from? And this isn't, you know, they've got their buddies on the inside. I mean, it's all whenever Veritas now what is the name? O'Keefe? Whenever O'Keefe gets someone, which is usually some poor gay guy, it's always someone from inside the admin.

Well, yeah, this would be a CIA and FBI wouldn't be. They're not doing policy, so much as no secret police work. Yeah.

Round shirt stuff.

But it's like this freak out still. And I will repeat this complaint of mine, which is that we never had this Chevron deference before 1984. And we had plenty of these agencies. I was one of more in one in one of them. And they got along just fine. Famously, they didn't need anything any special help now was and then they got the special help. And it was ironic because it was when the EPA was pulled back with the rains where they were pulled in by the Reagan administration to

Well, NPR is on the is starting to wise up to a couple of things mainly the scam that is the carbon offsets, which I mean, you can buy this on your plane trip ticket when you rent cars. There's all kinds of different places well once you add a 2% or 5% and save the earth if you've ever wondered if that's a scam, people who get whooped you ever wonder if that's a scam? listen to NPR first of what

really is a carbon offset. I spoke to Danny Colin ward at UPenn about this. He says an offset is basically a promise. It's a promise that somebody else did something good somewhere else that resulted in a climate benefit. It could be a promise that someone protected a forest That would have been cut down, or a promise that someone made a wind

So there's still time to get in. I think we didn't Isn't this where the whole net for humanity came from? This is not where the whole idea came?

Yes. I think there was one. That was like, I think we did that a little over a decade ago. Let me check on mine. If you remember, there was a vending machines at airports, they all disappeared, that we're selling carbon offsets. So when you took your flight, how many miles you're going and you get a little coupon that said, you you you thank you, you save the Earth

2017 I think is when we first got that jingling. So we were probably talking about it in 2016. And the whole idea was you could have no agenda producers take a nap because it'd be less carbon dioxide exuded. And, and that will be carbon offset. And so it seems like there's no regulation it's it's a bonanza, it's a free for all. Let's listen to some more from NPR.

That feels like a big problem if your money isn't actually reducing as much climate pollution as the offset claims. What's the other issue? Something called permanent offsets are supposed to reduce or remove carbon dioxide pollution, right? The carbon dioxide, some carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere hundreds of years, some co2 sticks around even longer.

Wait, some co2 sticks around for 1000s of years? What is this magical dust? By the way, I think the troll room was right. It must have been much earlier than 2017.

It must it must have been I think it was over 10 years. Yeah.

Oh, no, I think you're right. Let's go back to this this carbon dioxide that hangs around for 1000 years.

Some co2 sticks around even longer 1000s of years 1000s.

How do they know it? Is there still Jesus carbon dioxide hanging around?

Here's the thing. The vast majority of carbon offsets only promised to remove or store co2 emissions for 40 years or less. Colin Ward says a 40 year promise of reducing emissions does not compare to a 300 year or several 1000 year impact of carbon dioxide. So if a lot of these are false promises, is the government doing anything to address these issues with offsets consumers? And

I just love I just I just love the breathiness or the two. John is there. Is there really anything that we can do about these offsets? I don't know.

If a lot of these are false promises is the government doing anything to address these issues with offsets consumers and companies are buying. Late last month the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced new principles for high quality Janet

Yellen. Janet Yellen announced something

she's a climatologist you didn't know that consumers and

companies are buying. Late last month the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced new principles for high quality carbon offsets.

Ah, there we go.

The low quality carbon offsets now we're gonna have the high quality carbon we're

number one foam finger number one for

our offsets high quality that is offsets that actually reduce or remove climate pollution, that climate pollution even these new principles have gaps. For example, the principles do not identify how long offsets have to keep carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere no number. Also, these are just principles, researchers worry without enforcement, these voluntary principles might or might not be followed. A Treasury spokesperson said though the

I finally figured it out. It's the exit strategy to end all exit strategies ready? Okay,

I'm all ears. How much

carbon because we can't say carbon dioxide. How much carbon do you think is caused by every episode of the no agenda show taking into account? The work that you and I do the seven 800,000 people who listen, the computers, the phones they're using? This has got to be quite a lot of carbon, don't you think?

I have no idea. Let's put a number on it. Theoretically, yes, I've had to have a clip coming up, right. But let's just stick with what makes it even worse, whatever it is, whatever the number is. So whatever

it is, I think we should sell carbon offsets to stop us from podcasting. So, think about it. We

have a counterintuitive,

no, it's fantastic. It's a we need to sell the carbon offsets so that we don't waste all of this energy and carbon this beings being just sloshed into the air. And the carbon that we are exhaling right now, will be around for 1000s of years. It's high quality carbon that we are getting rid of me.

Okay. All right. What's your clip? Once you go? Well, these clips are about AI and how it's affecting the climate and ruining the day ruined everything. The

rise of artificial intelligence is requiring faster and bigger computations for even simple tasks. Then for say, a Google search. It's adding to the demand for more internet data centers, the places that house all those servers that keep the internet running. But as Ali Rogen reports, there's a price to pay for that demand for data centers is growing rapidly. But these facilities come at a big environmental cost, especially for the communities that host them. Northern Virginia is the

Why do we need so many data centers never

we use the internet, upload photos to the cloud, send emails, watch a video, all of that data and digital information needs a home and it lives in these huge facilities called data centers, which hold 10s of 1000s of servers each and they process all that digital information for us. Something like 70% of the world's digital information is processed by a cluster of data centers in Virginia alone. And there are over 5000 facilities in the US.

Oh, all that gigabyte going on?

Yeah, this is our this is our super This is the science and technology writer. We just need to talk like that from now on. Hey, man, they're getting they're processing all that gigabytes.

I got a lot of gigabyte going on. How about you, John?

I got gigabyte going on. To be honest about it. I have terabyte going on?

Oh, it's remember, it's not the size. He's got terabyte All right. All right. This

is good. So we already know that we have they're talking to an idiot. So we're gonna get good material out of this person. I'm loving it already information,

they need two things. The first is electricity, of course to physically crunch and process all that gigabyte, go

physically crunch, John is physically crunch. There's actually

a crunch. You actually missed that until now. Yeah. Physically physically crunching, grinders at these data centers, big giant rocks that roll around pulled by oxen, just

to remind everybody

elitist voices of America. This is NPR or PBS information, they need two things. The first is electricity, of course, to physically crunch and process all that gigabyte going on. The other is water, which are used in cooling systems to protect these servers from physically overheating. And researchers think they're in the top 10 Water consuming industries in the US they use 2% of the electricity in the US, which is

Whoa, she said that scales exponentially. That's kind of a contradiction that she's saying there. So it gets really hot need a lot of water that scales exponentially.

I think she Just using words, is

even more, the average AI application uses six times the amount of electricity. So they run a lot hotter. And that scales exponentially. They just need more water to cool down. And how do these data centers in the United States and the world of water

do pull down to cool down to cool down or to cool down? Okay.

But but you know,

I find it by the way, the one overlooked fat facet to this, as I find interesting is that 70% Of all the data centers are in, in and around randomly. Yeah,

hmm. So you run a lot hotter, and that scales exponentially. They just need more water to cool down. And how do these data centers in the United States and around the world affect global efforts to decarbonize? It's tricky, because right now, we are building out green energy solutions at a great scale. It's happening really fast, but it

Oh, okay. Get off a carbon. Yes, she

says cold coal firing, Isn't it cold coal him sorry, coal coal fired, coal fired.

She's obviously a nincompoop. Well, she's on her way. Wow. Exit Strategy become tech journalists at PBS. Madam is John we're crunching the gigabytes for you right here on PBS.

Okay, with clipper we

are number three. This is shorty need to set it up this shorty? Yes, no, this

is shorty for a reason you'll hear it when you when you hear it.

And many of these data centers are located in densely populated residential areas. What's it like to live near one? Yeah, you know they're built near schools and neighborhoods protected nature parks in Virginia in particular. And one big impact is that they're really loud they hum and they bring all this noise pollution to the area.

That's bull crap She's confusing it with with the Bitcoin miners I don't know what she's talking about. Data centers are completely quiet than ones that these goals no

noise pollution, Atom noise pollution from the giant data centers because it's buzzing. That's

total horse crap. That's total it's the crypto mining guys who have no cooling they just have an open roof and they point all fans up toward the roof yet those are noisy but not this stuff. Bynum believe it wow okay, no,

they're not noise I've been I actually visited may East ones which is one of the I built I built

an exchange in Amsterdam

Don't make noise it all

on the outside they don't know. They can get noisy inside.

Yeah, because of all the fans but yeah, all the internal fans are just blowing on the CPUs yeah sure. I have a couple of computers that make a lot of racket I went to didn't add noise pollution outside I was

at Mae Mae East when they had that flooding Do you remember that? I do remember that that was 90 That must have been 95 or 96 It was always

take me east by some very cynical guy. He showed me around and he says and then we as we leave this like the exit from there as you drive out through this like a parking lot underground parking lot basically. So you drive he says look at see we'd look above us as we're driving I see those things those are the main cables if you had a truck that's too big to tear him apart and bring down the whole internet and everything that was pointed out what a what a flaky operation it was what

so we should probably explain the the May is m au A stands for metropolitan area exchange and we had that was the big one on the east coast we had the Mae West of course on the west coast we had the am six the Amsterdam we still have these

Yeah, they're done they're not as important as they once were. No, no, but no, they're not all the traffic all the internet traffic used to go through all these things because you had to pay carriage to to get a good one. No, we had no in peering feeds. We had period period period hammies was peering happened, that was the end of it. Well, peering was

great for a while, but then, you know, then they all got to consolidate and all became like, what do we have now AT and T and Comcast Comcast? Yeah. And there's maybe one of the Oh, how about MCI? Those guys still around?

I don't think so. All right, onward. All

that concrete also means a huge increase. Some stormwater runoff, because that rain can no longer soak into the ground. It all has to go somewhere what? concrete. And so the amount of electricity also could be more than the grid may be able to handle. So when there's an outage, there's kind of a question of who gets the power of residents or data centers. Were talking to you now via Skype. We're using a lot of data to do it, though a

lot of data on Skype.

Talking to you now on Skype, there's a lot of data involved. What are you nuts? How

much gigabyte? Are we crunching on Skype right now? Okay, I hope there's a good comeback in this final dough.

This is ridiculous. This entire report, our classic PBS reporters, they're clueless,

as we increasingly rely on this type of cloud computing, to do so many things. We use apps we use, we do virtual meetings, that kind of thing. Is there any way that these data centers can continue to expand? Can I just got to

hear that, again, we use apps I just got I just have to soak in the the nonsense. You know, meanwhile, we have the twit network going out of business. And this is what we're left with is sad.

As we increasingly rely on this type of cloud computing, to do so many things. We use apps we use, we do virtual meetings, that kind of thing. Is there any way that these data centers can continue to expand, continue to grow and support all this usage? But do so in a more environmentally friendly way? No, clear? No, it is possible to build cooling systems that use less water, but we don't really see those built out at scale yet. And you could

this there's something going on with Virginia. And that's what the what the why they put these idiots on this report, because really, the data centers, Utah. You know, there's some pretty big ones in Texas. There's a lot being built here. I don't understand this whole reports focus on Virginia, there's something else happening with data centers in Virginia.

I have to agree because it's this vicious way that area in the reporting.

Now I just realized I want to stay on this for a moment because there

will be end of it. Yeah, that's that's your five. Okay.

There was an interview with President Trump. And this was actually quite I couldn't even watch the whole thing. It was the all in crew, which is Dallas capitalist

JKL well,

so J cow. put on a suit and tie and like 1970s Buggles glasses.

i By the way it can I make one quick comment about that outfit? He was wearing fleece? Because you know him I know we both know him run into him. What? Yes, what a Joe he usually wears a turtleneck but that but here he's wearing and I was trying to figure out why is he wearing this outfit? Because it doesn't look like anything he's ever worn before he showed up on the Jesse waters show brought to promote the interview. To promote the interview and waters call them J

Makes it even funnier cocktail. Yeah,

that's it. Exactly why he's using this this moniker. And so he's wearing this suit and this pink tie and it's like, why is he wearing this outfit? And I realized who it is it said, That guy that's on Shark Tank. The Well Dressed guys shows up a lot on different Fox shows. I can't remember his name, Mr. Wonderful. That's the guy who's Mr. Wonderful. He's

the guy who's so sharply dressed on there all these

guys His name is so somebody that Oh, leering. Oh, Larry. Larry. Oh, Larry. Yeah, he's

Mr. Wonderful. Well, he's

always dressed to the 10s He's wearing a cufflinks he's wearing an expensive suit. He's got that exact same look. That's what Calacanis is copying. He's looked he sees Wow, this guy's getting a lot of attention. Maybe if I dress like because Calacanis is a copycat cancer what he's

is we known him since the days of Silicon Alley when he was writing a rag he was literally around right

to do the producer stuff that we did once and one of his is doing he started pot he took big talk Leo into using this week and what startups No no,

he stole it. He stole it from Leo. Well, he's

I'm not I don't think so. Okay, well, you would know Leo gave him permission. Oh, Leo, only because he thought that Calacanis was gonna, you know, he didn't think he was going to be a competitor. It just Yeah, sure. Go ahead and use it. No, okay. He doesn't steal stuff. He, he's, he's a copycat, but he's not. He's not a thief. And so he took that little game permission. So yeah, okay. So he ran out with a whole series of this this week. And you know, when it failed anyway,

I was. Well, he's got David Sacks on and Chum off, whatever, you know, chum off. What's the guy's name?

He's got a good team. Yeah, no, those guys. Now he's dressing up like, Larry.

When I was living in LA, remember, Christina moved out there for a little bit. And she lived in LA, you may not remember. But she did. And you know, she was basically looking for it was a weird period. And you know, that was going through divorce was It was messy. It was a messy, messy time. The she was out there, and she was living with a bunch of weirdos and I was trying to keep my eye on her. And I was trying to get her a gig and then I was on Calacanis his show, which, what

So there's other people that went through that, you know,

Molly wood for a while Molly was even

a good sale is he is an excellent sales guy. And he knows how to do it. He says, Yeah, he's really good. Yeah. And so he's done well for himself. And I, you know, enjoy. He definitely talked like just as much you notice this when he resigned,

but his whole thing, what he did well, is he he kind of got into that Y Combinator group and invested in some things early. And that's why he got into Uber early. And then you know, he invested in Tesla early, because through his contacts at Sequoia I think we got a rule off the hill dropping him to Oh, Rudolph, I heard from Rudolph Rudolph is the CEO now he's the David Rudolph is the is the South African Cabal, the other part, the part of Elon that actually does stuff behind

CEO. Anyway, well, he's you know, he does he is a good sales guy but he doesn't he's not perfect so I can't pull everything up look but this idea of wearing this suit and tie that he's got let's check I just shake shake him and he's got a different kind of hair cut those glasses you talked about he's he's posing as a poser.

He kind of looks like a 70s studio 54 coke dealer Don't you think in the way he looks now? Yeah, maybe

it might be an interesting anyway. It's just and who knows? I don't know. What's he up to? We don't know. Well, first let me just say but he did get he get on. He got on waters and waters lapped it up like I

want to say the world would be a lot less colorful without Jason. I'm I mean, I'm happy he's in. I sincerely mean that. We rag on him. But

it would be gorgeous. That does what we do. It's would be a A lot less colorful without Jace anyway,

so there's only so I'm watching this interview and Jason is trying to be funny. I'm trying to do you know, tough questions which Trump was not having at all. He was not having. I listen to this on the plane, and I fell asleep. So after like 2530 minutes, half an hour and a half. I couldn't even listen to it. But I did listen to this one thing. And it was kind of like, oh, because David Sachs is the dangerous guy here. What is what is the deal with this? David Sachs? Where's he's

a bundler for sure. Yeah,

he's an entrepreneur, a bundler. There you go. Bundler

is a bundle. He's the guy who knows how to put together a party. They bring in millions. Yeah.

Candidate. He's in Pallant. Also,

I guess IVC in some ways, but I think is his skill is being and he's one of those guys. Yeah. He'll get he'll become David Sachs, who will be in the Trump administration. Yes. As the ambassador to France, or England or something like that. And all these VCs want to be ambassadors. Yeah. But

maybe he'll get something, something close. But we'll see. He'll do. Now. He might do policy. So So I guess David Sachs, was part of the biggest CEO get together and maybe was at his house. And they told Trump about this little little two word thing and little thing, a little little thing called AI. We

have a phenomena coming up right now. And I was talking about it the other day to David. And that's AI little thing, simple, two little simple letters, but it's big. And I realized the other day, more than any time when we were at David's house, and talking to a lot of geniuses from Silicon Valley and other places, they need electricity at levels that nobody's ever experienced before to have to be successful to be a

about what about nuclear? Mr. President? Yeah, so let me just give you a statistic so many go on he actually he knows he knows the problems and even said, you know, France, those guys are smart. They did. They got modular, they can do all the same thing. Not like we're idiots. Everything's different every so he he was good. But he's being psyops in

Right? And we did discuss this in the last post mortem. Yes,

post mortem. And I think I may have found one and it comes a lot because you said if we could figure out what the real downfall was of the dot, what pop the.com bubble, we may be able to figure out what pops the what pops the AI bubble, and I think I may have found it. And

when did you figure out what popped the duck? Because I think back on it, and I'm thinking what the hell pop the.com Well,

allow me. I was in the Netherlands in 2000, end of 99 2000. And it was World online. World online was going to be the biggest IPO run by a lady called Nina brink. And I know Nina Brink Because Ron Blum and I tried to get our initial financing from Nina brink. Because you know, we were run all over the world. Yeah, we before we, before we had the venture capital money, we're trying to figure out where can we raise money from and of course, you know, I had my

Well, then why should go short in video and see what happens? Good luck.

I don't know. I'm not so sure I want to do that. But but at least things know that.

We have in our audience, kind of I would say armchair analysts,

yes, we do. Who knows

develop stuff. of many of these ideas are quite good. They're just not. They're not polished. But we have at least 10 people in our audience that can have theories, I bet if we asked for them, that can provide us with theories as to why the.com collapse took place. Now I remember a previous collapse. And this is the more obscure and I can't remember the name of the IPO that failed. And it became a collapse the entire industry of council games during the Atari era. Console games.

Yeah. slowly, very slowly and then fast all of a sudden, I wonder what that was. I wonder what that was? Because the Nintendo NES came at the was it Sega

will shake it No, Sega came up with NES and they hung in there for the for most of the the second round of games. And Sega just quit on its own. It just decided out of the blue to stop doing it. After the Dreamcast, which is a killer

There's not much going on. Yeah, isn't that nice demos? Everybody

is not right. We don't see any Shakespearean plays coming out of any of this stuff.

Well, what what is definitely sure is that people are very disappointed by the reality of the interaction with the voice response versus the demo. Because I, because I know, Sam Altman was also interviewed by Jay Cowell about a month ago and right so you know, as I'm thumbing through away from this Trump interview, I get the Altman interview, an hour of nothing, the guy says nothing. Yeah, that's really interesting.

Yeah, well, that's nothing new now. Well, we haven't fed, you have at least some thoughts on this. And but we're soliciting further thoughts from the audience of producers? Yeah.

Well, particularly the gaming history. Someone out there will know for sure. But this has this has got and when this goes, Man is going to be spectacular. I think they need to keep

it as spectacular as the.com collapse. To me, that was the most spectacular thing I've ever seen. Well, that took the whole market. Well, this will to this. Will that mean the NVIDIA for is carrying the market? Yes,

it's carrying everything.

But what we've gone from a chipmaker that makes, you know, processors for gamers to the biggest corporation in the world. Really?

Yeah. Which needs eight times the power to power their chips, but even work, it's just hard. No, it's like, no, this is not going to happen. Anyways, speaking of fake and phony, I'm going to get two more clips here from I'm gonna go back for a second power and energy. So we have the unique opportunity to show the future a unique opportunity, I say, to show the future of solar and wind and how we all can live in harmony without any carbon dioxide, I'm sorry, carbon, and

the energy grid has come under sustained attack from Russian missiles. It's caused more blackouts. The country's facilities already struggling after repeated targeting a barrage of strikes have continued this afternoon. Three people reported dead in our Keefe. Now President Volodymyr Zelensky has said this week there needs to be a rush for replacement solar energy for civil institutions across the country, he said is a time of panic. Let's have a listen to

right. Let's do it. Let's prove it. Let's bring out some solar make it all work power your cities. I'd love to see it. We all know it's not going to work. quick little update on the orange painting of Stonehenge and Taylor Swift jet. So as I already said, it wasn't Taylor Swift jet. No, these people just went in spray painted someone else's jets. And the like this is this is very this is a very costly thing. If you can't just fly with some paint on there. You know,

So Danielle, what do we know about the as protesters, and is this orange stuff like reversible like is are these rocks gonna be okay? They're gonna be okay. And they're gonna wash away at least that's what we're told by the protesters. I'm not gonna give you our viewers history lesson here. But there's a reason why Stonehenge is so remarkable. It's a UNESCO heritage site. It's one of the most recognizable landmarks here in the UK, built 4500 years ago. It's in perfect alignment with

Okay, now I have

arrived. I've heard just corn starch and a pigment,

I got a serious question. I have a serious question. If they haven't ruined anything, because it washes off. Why are we putting this on the news? It's the same. They go on hold they spray painted a painting? No, they put paint on the glass. Why are we putting these idiots on the news if they didn't do anything? There?

Well, I'm not going to argue about the point that this should not be covered. But it's at Well, I think the reason you put it on the news because you got some crazy maniac with a fire extinguisher filled with his goo. And they're spraying our side of an airplane and you have a video of it is but it was probably saying you know this is kind of interesting. Let's at least run it. Oh,

yeah. No, it's because there's a point to be made. It's all theater. It's not actually ruining the airplane. It's actually ruining the priceless art. It's not ruining Stonehenge. It's it's MK Ultra is we're being mind controlled into thinking that these children apparently a 73 year old are so incensed that they they feel they have to go and destroy valuable objects they're not

well a couple of things. First of all, until I see a washing machine spray just take a pose and spray off that crap that's on the airplanes which is typically what should

he said he says it's corn dust.

It's corn flour, corn flour or corn starch it doesn't matter I we know what this is it's a bits of its powder that you mix with the pigment then you wait no way you can make it wet and make a slurry and you can spray the slurry.

Are you with extinction rebellion?

No, I'm just saying this this reporting about how this stuff is wash right off is bull crap. I

don't Well you have no which was your clip.

I want to see it washed off. That's what I'm just show me.

Okay, well, I'm just saying that you're saying that. No one said pigment. No one said that. You're putting pigment in there that stains everything.

Where's the orange come from is not some magic from

the Cheeto dust.

Which is pigment. It's a

Cheeto dust. You can lick your fingers and it comes right off.

Whistle last time you tried to get all that crap off your hand on the plane

that they serve Cheetos on the plane.

What plane serves Cheetos, you got united

they got dudes and dresses. It's a great airline. They got everything, dude. Alright, now we're talking about food. I'm going to take this one right up your alley, the latest in food cuisine. It's a code cuisine. The exclusive

solutions to the climate crisis will take many forms. One of which is algae. That's according to Chef Callum Monroe. He comes down to the coast every other day to collect seaweed here on the Scottish Isle of Skye. Every week, maybe twice or three times a week actually become a yeah, see this one here which is I would say up there with the best at sea spaghetti as you can tell why it's called Sea spaghetti because it just looks exactly like this. Again, it's

there you Go teach him how to how to eat seaweed. It's the vegetable of the sea.

That we're not sure what to say this we're going too far with thanks. It says it stinks. It's a nice wrapper for sushi.

Yeah, that's about it. Stop. Stop there. He's holding up the stringy seaweed. Oh, it's just like spaghetti. In fact.

That's not well. That would be the world's worst spaghetti but okay. Yes.

I'm in agreement with you. Man Oh, man. Oh, man, we

before we drift too far astray. Because you did mention Trump. I want to bring it back to that. Trump. I watched Trump's Philadelphia speech ah,

I'm glad you did. Okay,

I put it aside I wanted to see if he had new material or

is up to it was was the kind of losing a little bit because now this

bowl crab in fact, he brings that up

I I'm just telling you, you I played this bull crap. He's prompter went out and he wasn't good. And you heard you agree.

I just see I disagree. He didn't use much of a prompter in this speech. But he does ramble. And then he mocks himself for rambling he discusses it needs reflect you

thought the shark and the and the electrocution was a good bit.

I didn't think it was a good bit. It was a one of his bits though. And I didn't think it was horrible, like you said, but I do have two examples of new bits. Okay, one of them which is worse than the shark. And one that I think he's going to use in going forward. He has a bunch of new material that he's trying out a he's does an hour and a half. He did two, two speeches on. He went did one in Washington DC I guess which I didn't see. And then he went to Philadelphia and did a big one.

where they calot where they calla pitches.

The girls don't show their asses. They're just a bunch of pretty faces in the audience. All right, thank you. So the he's got the signs and the science a Trump something on one side and the other side says, Too Big to rig is his latest news. Okay, so all the signs you flip a Ross is too big to rig. And but slowly he the background evolves. So when he finished the speech and started talking about his audience behind him, it was all black. It was there wasn't a white face in

We're literally doing this as he was speaking. They're rotating the audience. Yes. Wow, that's slick.

And he had an hour and a half to do it. So that was it was so slow that you didn't unless you watch the beginning, and then cut to the end, you wouldn't have noticed that

it was like a rotating stage. But it just slowly wrote on a rotating

stage. So anyway, so he has, I have two examples of his new material. All right. And they're short, but this is under Trump, and this will be the one we're going to play here is Trump, Pennsylvania, New Material One, but they

get in there all these horrible compromising posts. And then they say he wasn't it really wasn't that way it was. So then everybody sends in, they all have cameras. See every one of you have a camera. If I blow it up here, though, they actually they take a perfect, brilliant, beautiful statement that I make. I go for two hours without teleprompters. And if I say one word slightly out, they say he's cognitively impaired. Whereas Biden can run into walls. He can fall off the

All right. All right. That's good. That's funny.

So that was your material. So he did. So later he does this bit, which is the second clip only have two. And this was a bomb. And it was, and I left the pauses in at the end. So he let the whole thing play. And he, he gets nothing from this material he's going to do. And then so he that's a slide for a while, and then he changes the subject so radically, and I only have the beginning of the switchover at the very end. And I was just saying, you shake your head, but this will you'll

every day, you're reading about this. But how embarrassing is it for me to say, we will build a wall or we will build a border. But how embarrassing it is to say we will keep men and of women's sports who who would want men to play women's sports. And yet for them for all these people, including the fake news media, for whatever reason. It's like a big deal. Who would want it? Did you ever look at the weightlifting records? Records that stood for 18 years? And a

Switch. Well, at least he knows when to get out of it.

But yes, he does. He bailed. This is that Winburn thing. You'll never hear it again. I'm sure of it because that was a just bombed dog.

It's this is because of turning point USA. You know, Charlie Kirk is touring with the women now. And he's got Megyn Kelly and Candace Owens and Riley Gaines. And that's why he's trying to shoehorn this in but his punch line is right. He should be and there's a dude in a dress. I mean, he used to do something like that. That's funny. Now like he's

real Yeah, it wasn't it was just funnier than what he did that bit didn't work. I make them weightlifting thing almost got there but they did that Winburn thing was no good loser in that he's not gonna you'll never hear it again going back and then it switched a second American audience back

going back to the first clip. The MSNBC is real is doing this now. He's right there trying to make him look like his losing his mind. So now we have the cheap fakes. Biden's great sharp as a tack sharp as a tack sharp as a tack sharp but Trump Oh, no. So I have three clips. I'll pretty short do actually the second to a very short. This is the first one British check of course. And and here's how MSNBC is showing that Trump is losing his mind. There is

new audio of Donald Trump admitting that he lost the 2020 election and then quickly reverting back to the original lie. It comes from research for the new book, apprentice in Wonderland by Ramin Syd Tudor. He spoke to the former president six times and recorded the conversations. Trump's admission that he lost came during a conversation about his relationship with Geraldo Rivera, what was for all the work? He was good. He did a good job. He was smart, cunning, he did a good job.

his mind. I tell you, losing his mind. Now listen to Morning Joe, because they're really doing this now.

So like person downloads in May. He wasn't doing a lot of interviews and then we sat down again towards the end of the summer. And when I sat down, I, you know, there was a very blank expression on his face. So I asked you remember when we spoke recently? And he said, No, I have no memory of that. And he couldn't recall he said it was a long

some numb nut from a morning, Joe. And so he's losing his mind. He's losing his mind.

But he also seemed to think that he still had some foreign policy powers. And there's one day where he told me he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan, even though he clearly didn't. He told you that he while you were interviewing him at Trump Tower, he told you he needed to go upstairs to deal with Afghanistan with the quote, the Afghanistan is how we refer to it.

Oh, he's losing his mind.

losing his mind, I tell you,

yes. I have noticed this this phenomenon, too. And it's always on, it's on CNN and MSNBC only. And they are looking at the one that really got everybody's attention was when he called Ronnie Jackson, Ronnie Johnson, at one of his speeches. So everybody jumped on this, including Jon Stewart, on his on his Monday night show. Yeah. And it was Bah, he can't even remember the name of his own doctor. And, and they use it and they've been Trump referred to that particular moment in his

since you bring up Jon Stewart, so he does the Daily Show on Fridays, I think is it one day Mondays, Mondays? One day a week, but he also has the Daily Show podcast, and of course, this is up my alley, because you know, pod father everything. Boy, pay attention, that stuff. And the so you think the Daily Show podcast, I think it was originally called the Johnson, I'm not quite sure that the name has changed. Sometimes he drops the podcast from it. But you'd be expecting to hear a

what you'd expect a podcast to be extreme.

It's a bit boring. And he has Blong boring conference. It's kind of like that Apple show, which was just boring. So that Apple show is the worst. So so he got this boring show. And it's interesting, because he did did just have a minute and a half of the boring show, where he talked to Kathleen Hicks. Who is I don't what is she? What is her? She's high up in the paint and a Department of Defense. Isn't she the?

She was one of Trump's old assistants now.

That was the Qt No, that's a different one. That was the press secretary? No. Kathleen Hicks is the Deputy Secretary of Defense. And he gets into it, whether about the audits of of the Department of Defense, or as we would say, audit the Pentagon, it would be a good thing. And I thought what came out of it was kind of interesting. I had an opportunity

to speak with the Deputy Secretary of Defense cap,

you can already hear the show is boring. It's like,

yeah, it's already it's already boring wants to be on PBS or something or NPR. He

needs to he needs to get closer to the mic. I had an opportunity to speak to a Catholic and activity Secretary of the Department of Defense.

And I just asked about the failing of the audits. And I want you to I want you to listen, I think to what I felt like was a remarkably defensive for no reason, attitude about even the prospect of being questioned on this. But don't you think that that does speak to the larger point that we're trying to get at which is good journalism, uncovers corruption. And I mean, good journalism doesn't cover corruption, but I'm not sure these two things are linked and honest. Not they

why did you say let's decompose this?

That's playback or just for a plane that doesn't seem to be doing like there is a lot of waste, fraud and abuse within a system audit, waste, fraud and abuse are not the same thing. So let's decompose these leads educate me on decompose.

Yes. She

said that she said decompose.

waste, fraud and abuse are not the same thing. So let's decompose these leads educate me on what so an audit is exactly what you just described, which is do I know what was delivered to which place? Right the ability to pass an audit or in the fact that the DOD has not passed not and is not suggestive of waste, fraud and abuse? The conversation goes on to the point where she says to me, you seem awfully concerned about the money,

so I stopped it there. But that was kind of I thought that was interesting that an audit is not about the waist, no, it's about we spent $100,000 on a toilet washer. And did we get it or not? Not if it's not if it's a wasteful expenditure? So that was the only interesting thing of that entire boring show. But it leads well,

yes, well, I will say this, that she got defensive because of the nature of the way he orchestrated the question by assuming immediately that there was waste, fraud and abuse, and that's the reason for no audit. So I believe that she reacted properly to an accusation and unfounded accusation. Just

a suspicion, a hunch, merely a hunch we have there may be some waste, fraud and abuse going

on. Yeah, and you can be sure there is. So this brings me

to the big the big announcement. It's, as we say, in the lowlands, the coho is daughter Khattak the bullet has been shot through the church. I have no idea why they say that.

The bullet has been shot through the church. Yeah,

the girl who was daughter Catholic. I have no idea why this Dutch say there must be is there any historical reference to something being shot in a church? Well,

that was say the first of all the Dutch were one of the biggest proponents of Lutheranism, the looser and NISM sorry, loose, they're all Lutherans. They're the churches are and that was it because it was early and the Catholics of course, were, were banned pretty much. There's a couple of secret Catholic churches around and it's possible that some booked Catholic shot a shot at the preacher or something in in a Lutheran church. That's my only kind of a long shot guess I

just looked it up and I can't find anything right off the bat but I will have to look that one up. So anyway, the bullet has been in the bullet is through the church. And we have a new incoming head honcho of NATO just came

through in Brussels this week. A new leader is poised to take over as NATO Secretary General is the former Dutch Prime Minister Mark Ruta, who secured the backing of each member state the only other credible competitor was Romania's President Klaus Yohannes. He's backed out of Teflon mark is his nickname

Hold on a second. I have been following Margarita for a while. I've never heard anyone refer to him as Teflon mark. I mean, maybe Crisco mark, but Teflon Mark No. Klaus

Yohannes is backed out of Teflon that Mark is his nickname in The Hague. One biographer said the 57 year old cycling format and fanatic has a trademark is called Neverland, which LK

Miran, also something I've never heard. And I think he is referring to may Viren, which he'll translate as he's bouncing stretching along. No, I would say it's more like sucking up being a slime ball. Being a fair weather friend doing whatever is popular. That's what the translation of Maven is, or as he says, Maven. So already we've got this this, that we're building up sad

reporting, as usual, bad reporting, but

they they also call them the Trump whisperer. Oh, yes, he'll be able to get Trump this guy who was in HR at Unilever somehow became prime minister for oh my god, what was he 12 years a long time forever long time.

Well, that's the whole show

and he's worse.

On biographer said the 57 year old cycling format and fanatic has a trademark is called Neverland, which means belts and cycling

fanatic he rides a grandma Bike to Work he's not On a 10 speed with with the lycra has

a trademark is called me Vinod, which was bouncing, stretching along, working with whoever he needs to work with to govern. To rule with. This was my router talking to the press in the past 24 hours. It is, of course an incredibly interesting position. It starts in three months. There is a fantastic Secretary General at the moment. But let me not give the impression that I am going to do something different from Jens Stoltenberg.

That's what he loves you to the band you to

you to the band. Yes,

he loves you to the band. Yes.

Oh, that's, that's insightful. So

this is like the Tiger Beat. biog. What

is the point of taking some guy like that and, and making the head making him the head of NATO because

he'll do whatever they tell him to who's they? Oh, the military industrial complex, of course. Raytheon, Boeing, whoever. Of course. He'll just do whatever. Okay,

so he's just bullshit.

He's always been bullcrap. Always. He's been he. He locked down the whole population during COVID No, he's not. He is not seen as any kind of strong personality. He's wimpy slimpar wristed weird. I mean, he rides his bike to work. Okay, how Dutch have you? And he's a made Maven. Maven. Which boy bounces along No. He'll do whatever is popular whatever whatever he's being told to do. So this just take it from me. This guy is not a strong leader in NATO

interests Interesting. Yeah, well your analysis is probably is better than anything you're gonna hear elsewhere. So there you have

it. The troll room has some other words for him. Yes, you're correct that too. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you the man who put the sea in the Cheeto dust say hello to my friend on the other end the one and only Mr. Jobs

in the morning, you Mr. Adam curry in the morning all the cheese does blitz on the ground feed near subs in the one Diems and nights out there in the morning

to the trolls and the troll room. Let me count we did better than Father's Day because we had a low low troll count 1618 On the last the last Sunday we have 1863 So we're back up a little bit didn't do much for the donations just the sheer number of donations the actual the number the the amount of donation just low. I mean, people are it's summer I guess we've hit the summer people are too hot, too hot, they're melting. They can't do anything else. You throw out a double A

You're gonna kill a seal the little baby seal just

club it to death as horrible. And I need to apologize. Because somehow completely forgot to thank the artists for episode 1669 Because you know as a value for value podcast. There's many ways that people can help us and of course we appreciate our our artists in to an incredible degree because they're always they're creating stuff on the fly. And it was time to kneel of all people for me to forget Taunton Neil, who did the Father's Day art, which was a nice little piece, it was

Yeah, it was cute. Yeah.

For the last episode 1670 Yeah, we brought in. I mean, I'm, I'm not always you were actually on the Father's Day episode. You were kind of vying for this cheesecake lady, which I protested. I'm like, Yeah, you

hate women. No, I

don't. Like why does Father's Day have to mean that cheese cake lady. That's I mean, some fathers are not likes. That's what you like. That's not what

I just like to piece I thought it was good and you hate comic strip blogger.

Well, no I don't. I've been friends with him longer than I've been friends with you same type of friendship. Know for 16 seven he titled The Maloney Francisco Scaramanga nailed it with the and this was a cheesecake but it had cheap fakes on her t shirt. It had double entendre. It had a lot going for it and and it was just perfect. Perfect. Wouldn't you say?

I liked it. Yeah. We had that. There was another one that we were arguing about. The Father's Day one is from the previous show, or when I guess it was that show. Cheap

fakes. Oh, the Darren O'Neill is that that we were looking at Darren O'Neal's. Cheap fakes 33 cents, which had to Zareen zerene behind the lemonade stand. Oh, yes.

I liked this piece because I do is a throwback to as a peanuts. Reference, of course with the free advice booth through the Lucy was back. Would you be back there with Charlie Brown? Yeah. I liked it. The scar manga pieces it probably better in many ways. But the Darren O'Neill piece was good and you criticize it because you said Darren O'Neal's always got this does throw away stuff

I said Darren no deal. Oh no, I didn't criticize it. I said the cheap fakes was better. You didn't want to choose it because you hate scare manga. That's what was going on. You like that guy? He's an aihole. I remember No,

I never said that. I would say Oh, but you did remind me that scared of manga did turn on the show you in particular he's a turncoat. He turned on the show so they were a bunch of jerks. Repair reason and and that that got me to quit the entire that dead social network. They said

the website just call it the website.

And that was the end of that. So there was some there was some thought there man, you know, Darren O'Neal pick because

Dan O'Neill listening want to be picked? He just wants us to talk about him. Yes, I

gonna be pretty short. Thank you. Of course, we always read the notes for our Associate Executive Producers $200. And above 300 above your an executive producer, we read those notes as well. And we don't read anything under 50 For usually reasons of anonymity, but the big one is becoming a

formula is this we go out we get people in the mouth

discovered I can find this job while applying but as that's you

know, so did you see Andrew Cuomo on Bill Maher? No,

no, I did not.

I sitting here I dodged the bullet. Clearly you dodged the bullet. So he's sitting there next to kissing girl. I don't know why they go the cry baby The Cry Baby Cry Baby. And and they do something they were bumo. Obviously he's decided to throw the Democratic Party under the bus. And I think is worth playing. It says oh, it's got nothing to do with any more clips. But this was to me a it's been it was posted quite a bit. I just took the regular posting of it and play it here. The

trial in New York. The one he got convicted for was the greatest fundraising bonanza. Yes, he is. Now he was blagging behind Biden. And now he's pulled quite a bit ahead. That trial was the greatest reason people to send their checks for 510 25, whatever, dollars to Donald Trump. So I was always winning on the one in New York, the hush money trial, I don't think they should have brought that one. It was just always gonna look like a sex case. And people were always

in that case, the Attorney General's case in New York, frankly, should have never been brought. And if his name was not Donald Trump, and if he wasn't running for president, from the former Ag in New York, I'm telling you that case would have never been brought. And that's what is offensive to people. And it should be because if there's anything left it's belief in the justice system.

Why is he doing that?

I wonder myself. I saw it was like he threw the whole party under the bus. I think it's because he never got the support. He expected to stay as governor. And he's worked. He's worked. And now he's a critic. So either that as part of our part of the giant scheme to get make sure Trump gets in well, I'm thinking

that but if you look at our the official lawyer of the show, Rob, he always sends me an updated schedule of all of the lawsuits that Trump is involved in. How many can you name?

I can only name three or four. Yeah, there's

like nine. Yeah. So we have the hush money case in New York. Right. Where that's, I guess we're still waiting sentencing. We have the civil fraud. The New York Trump and others falsely inflated property values to obtain loans. We have

What they've done all after he said he's gonna run for president. Yes. That's what that's what makes everyone came after he made the you know, yeah, some within three days. That's

what makes it so cool.

Yes, well, the only thing I think they accomplish what they wanted, I don't think these cases are gonna go anywhere now, because the idea was to get him convicted of something. And it's been discussed and discussed, and they say that people on the inside that are at the, at the hideout where Biden's being prepped and jacked

up, it's called Camp Camp David, Camp

David, you but it's in the basement is so he feels comfortable. And so the idea is he's going to throw out the term convicted felon, which is all they really wanted to get out of this all these cases, somebody because the rest of these have been put off now that these cases are not going to come to fruition. But they got what they wanted, which is

Trump will be ready for that.

Yeah, well, interesting to see what what what ready means that regard? I don't know. They'll be ready. But what you're gonna say

I predict huge numbers on that CNN broadcast. And that is going to break all records. And it's it's kind of interesting, because it's in a way it's a throwback to the 60s. I think the way they're running it is very similar to the Kennedy Nixon debate, you know, just a studio no audience to answer question, then you answer the question very, quote unquote, civilized.

Yeah. Right. So, so I was looking into Jake Tapper's background spook when you because he's going to be one of the two hosts him and Dana Bash. Dana

Bash was literally married to a spook.

Yeah, yes, exactly. So if you if you read, I think it's an even in his Wikipedia. Jake Tapper takes credit. Do you know the first CNN debate with Hillary and Trump and Trump back in 2016 2015 2016? Era? There was one of the debates was at CNN. Yeah. And because whoever was really interested in these in this debate

where they gave Hillary the the questions, Donna Brazil yet

right. The dawn of Brazil gave her the credit, but the point is, is that it got the highest rating CNN ever got. Yeah. And they credited because of the presence of Jake Tapper. Really? Yeah.

Well, I if I I recall correctly one of our producers was in catering and catered the assistant CIA CIA directors birthday if something like It was either that or FBI and Jake Tapper was there just working the room. Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. That's sources say you know, sources. So

this will be a huge blockbuster even though ABC is gonna also carry it. But it'll be big numbers for CNN, even though it's going to be watered down because ABC is also going to do a simulcast. I don't know how they got that to happen. But you know, they happened and then you'll be stuck because a chopper Yeah, everyone wants to see him.

Wow. tappers, the man. He's the man of the hour. He's the man about town. There's two incidents with Southwest that I just need to handle for a second here.

The FAA is investigating another concerning incident on a Southwest Airlines flight after a plane appear to come dangerously close to homes near Oklahoma City. For some reason, they blew through and assigned altitude and continued and get very close to the ground.

This is what I find so interest this couple of things in this report and was very similar everywhere. So the the flight goes to low clearly because they're still on their approach. And there they are low. And the tower says hey, we got a low altitude warning you guys okay? He didn't say check your altimeter? No, he didn't say they just you guys. Okay, everything all right, to which they replied, Yeah, we're good. And then they they increase their altitude.

The air traffic controller in the tower, save the day by telling them check your altitude, the plane landed safely. But local residents flooded social media saying they thought the plane was going to hit their homes. It was night it was late. Perhaps the crew was tired. They were descending over the prairie. So there was no lights or no visual reference. It was essentially descending over a black hole. But this

I don't know who this Jumoke is who's reporting on this. But you're looking at your altimeter you're looking at at the height of your aircraft, you're not looking out into the black hole. Where are we? I could use anything, Bob, I don't know. You see. I mean, the only thing I can imagine happened here is they didn't set their their pressure altitude known as the Q and H which gives you the correct altitude reading based upon the barometric pressure. Maybe that happened. Or maybe

given a clearance for a visual approach. So they were looking out at the lights of Oklahoma City looking for the airport, and for some reason they missed that assigned altitude perhaps was distraction in the cockpit earlier this week. It was revealed to southwest Lean from Hawaii came within just 400 feet of slamming into the ocean back in April, a memo saying a newer first officer accidentally pushed forward the control column.

This is unbelievable to me, because they were executing a go around, it was horrible weather, there was a lot of torrential rain, a lot of airplanes, we're doing go round, which is hey, I don't feel good. I don't think we should land. Let's just Let's go around. We'll try it again. And so what you do then is you view push the throttle forward, you pull back on the control column, eventually you want to put the

are see five pilots you think it by anything new but they don't

want to fly that they don't want to fly southwest.

I guess not. No.

It's pride month, John. Time to make fun.

Oh, yes, I've been I only had my one opportunity for this. I guess you must have a few.

I do. Yes. I got some Chicago local news. The University of Illinois has been has received an award for their let me see what is it the LGBTQ plus health care equality high performer and boy, the ladies on the show we're all Jide it's a two parter.

His pride month the University of Illinois Hospital and Clinics have a lot to celebrate who I have has been recognized as an LGBTQ plus health care equality leader for the ninth year in a row. That means they are going beyond the basics when it comes to adopting policies and practices in queer care. Dr. Mimi arquilla Queer

care, here it is John does the new one queer care we have no health care, no queer care comes

to adopting policies and practices in queer care. Dr. Muni, Aquila and Carl Johnson, join us now with more. Thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having us. Thank you. Yeah. So Doctor, tell us what this designation really means.

Doctor, what is queer care? Can we start there?

Okay, so it means that our health care facility was evaluated in four areas. And those areas being the programs and services we provide for LGBTQ plus people, the our what our foundational practices are, in terms of organization, in terms of our involvement with the community, and also in terms of our employee benefits and services. And so we provide services in all four of those areas, and we do it, we feel

underserved by the way, this this clearly woman who you're hearing female voice is dressed and looks like a dude,

what does that mean? Tell all of our viewers Yeah, so I think when understanding inclusive care, you first have to kind of understand that not everyone has the same experience in healthcare. And that can be for a lot of reasons. It can be because of gender, sexual orientation, race, insurance, status, lots of different things. And with Inclusive care, the goal is to provide high quality care, to everyone. And to do that you really have to break down barriers and meet the

I was about to throw this clip away. I'm like this. They said absolutely nothing other than we excel at queer care, which is just, it's just offensive. What is queer care? I mean, that's not even a gender. But now Now we have queer care. And I would have tossed it out had I not gotten a complete explanation of what they really won the award for in this second clip, talk about

some of those hesitations that people might face in going to get care where someone may not even think that this is something that other people are facing. Yeah, so there's a lot of reasons people don't like going

right here, we're getting down to it. So it's about being misgendered. And what what actually can we do to win this award and make you feel comfortable?

And, you know, some of those things are as easy as wearing like a pronoun pen to let people know what pronouns are asking people, their name, their pronouns, using those correctly, and just creating a welcoming environment. It's about

the pronouns. up to it, yes, it's all about wearing a pronoun pin. So people know that you're an ally, and that you care about pronouns. That's it, because this person was misgendered. Somewhere. And this one minutes, queer care. Well, but I love the wall, but your insurance status I have no, I literally have no health insurance.

But you had some sort of Texas thing? No,

I have. You know, we have crowd health, which is it's crowd funding. So you, you pay like 300 bucks a month. That's reasonable. And, yeah, but we were paying 1800 a month. For the two of us. That's not reasonable and deductible $16,000 Are you kidding me? Yeah, this is ridiculous.

That's just the whole thing. So the chip

is a complete chip. But if you go for the queer care, Oh, you don't have to have any insurance, your query will take care of, you know, maybe I might have to this seems to be some benefits.

So I just had to change topics a little bit. I do have a clip. He says we brought up the very beginning of the show, which was what can trigger a collapse of the AI phenomenon. Yeah. And so I have this what I call the wild clip, which is a clip that addresses this a little bit it's from NPR it's about the Clear View suit. It is not really being covered very well but it's

layer view is are those the guys that that sell all the pictures to the cops?

Yeah, facial recognition company. Yeah, that company. Yeah.

Play. Yep. Just play soul recognition. Startup clear view AI reached a settlement and the lawsuit alleging its massive photo collection of faces, violated the subjects privacy rights. attorneys say the deal could be worth more than $50 million. To Ed Sheeran. Johnson Coleman gave preliminary approval to the agreement yesterday. But the unique agreement gives plaintiffs in the case a share of the company's potential

Okay, what makes this wow to me is that these companies have find, especially a public company decided, hey, what if we do the payout of these lawsuits in stock? I thought that was just a good idea. It

is a good idea. Yeah, okay.

We Oh, why do $100 million? Okay, let's issue some more

stock after they do an offering for that they do a seconder.

I just I think it's a private it'd be a private offering. You could do it. There's all kinds of scam ish ways to do it. I

could do a pipe.

They could do a lot of things. But it's it's just genius. As far as I'm concerned, companies note this even for say Ford, you know, General Motors, they have a Ford during the pinto era. Oh, instead of giving people money and have some

stock stock. That is a good idea. Well, speaking of speaking of lawsuits, or legal matters, so, you know, although there's not a lot of reporting in the US, per se, about the Saudi Arabia D dollar rising, just going to use that term, by apparently not renewing the deal to only sell their oil in US dollars making the US dollar the reserve currency. Well, I think

CBS News exclusive the unnerving video outside the US Capitol film two years before the 911 attacks. Good evening, I'm Nora O'Donnell and thank you for being with us. Two decades ago, the 911 Commission found that all kinda acted alone. But victims families say that is not true. pointing to this video and other evidence is proof. They are suing Saudi Arabia claiming its government provided crucial assistance to the hijackers and planners behind the September 11 attacks that killed nearly 3000

then they bring in a whole bunch of former spooks to confirm this and this was probably related to flight 93 Richard

Lambert is a retired FBI agent who led the initial 911 investigation in San Diego, where bu me and the two hijackers live temporarily before the attacks. He's now a consultant on the case filed by the 911 families if you've ever flown into Washington DC, one of the first things you see on the horizon is the Washington Monument. So if you know where your other targets are in terms of the Washington Monument, it helps guide you to your intended target.

I don't believe any of this story, of course, but it that's not the point. The point is, okay, Saudi Arabia. Well, we got your number.

We go back to the 911. situation at the time, there was a lot of discussion about suing Saudi Arabia. Yes. And our government blocked it. Yes. Because we had no no no, you can't sue them because they're our friends. And so it got blocked never happened and then this, but we all knew that there was some some information that was left out of the report and which could be anything that could create the had number of years to create this whole thing could be like you think is maybe

little annoying fact.

That was good. That was good. Find. I'll give you a clip of the day. Wow.

Thank you. Unexpected I just I came across it. I'm like, hey, yeah, winter clip that.

Let me clip that. And that's what the show is all about. That's what

it's always about. But I want to move into Israel is now just Israel versus everybody.

I do have the Gaza update from PBS. If you want to just start with that. Oh,

yeah, we'll start with that. Hold on a second. Gauze. Gauze update

PBS. Here we go. death toll in Gaza climbed higher today following two Israeli airstrikes on separate locations. One hit a refugee camp, and another struck an Eastern neighborhood of Gaza City. Palestinian and hospital officials said at least 39 people were killed. Israel's military said they were targeting to Hamas military sites. And in Tel Aviv tonight 1000s of people rallied to demand new elections and call for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reach a deal to bring hostages home.

They keep trying to get him out. He's just like, nope, nope, I'm just gonna sit here for a bar. It's

mostly western reporting that talks about this way. If you get it, if you get to the Middle East reporting, there's less of it. Oh, yeah. Trying to get him out. I think this is us trying to get him out? Well,

I don't think we're trying to well, maybe the Biden administration, but the whole idea here is exactly what we heard from Massey, Representative Massey, you said, these military industrial complex donors to AIPAC. They want war, they want more war. They want war, not just within Gaza. That's just that's just a starter pack. We want to go to Lebanon. It's on the west Clarke seven, and they want to get to Iran. And that's where this is headed. Here's NPR

we have to remember the Lebanese state is extremely weak and Hezbollah was created with the help of Iran, largely to fight Israel after the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Mr. Allah said his group is much better arm now. And as an example, he noted drone footage released this week with detailed images of potential targets in Haifa, Israel's major port city, he gloated that with all of Israel's air defenses, the drone was able to slip through them. And he said that if there were

yes. Oh, Leviathan. Leviathan right over there. Beautiful. And the BBC, of course, chimed in the

UN chief Antonio Guterres has warned that escalating tensions on Israel's northern border could trigger a catastrophe and turn Lebanon into quote, another Gaza. All Out conflict has been threatening to erupt there since the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah began firing missiles into northern Israel following the October the seventh massacre, prompting tit for tat responses from Israel.

It's so interesting how this how this happens, like well, you know, we're almost done there and Gaza, we've killed everybody. You know what, why don't we lob some missiles. It's our turn now. Now we're gonna do it. Israeli

strikes into southern Lebanon have displaced more than 90,000 people on the Lebanese side of the border. But some have stayed, saying it's better to die at home with dignity than be driven out of their land like the Palestinians. Fear of all out war extends as far as the capital of Beirut, where some say they keep suitcases packed and passports ready. In case full scale war breaks out. Hezbollah is a well trained,

I mean, war is such a great business. I mean, how's Raytheon stock? Is that doing anything that doing anything? I mean? Take a look at the year to date. Oh, yeah. He was at $85 in January, it's 105. Now Beautiful, beautiful. Raytheon stock up. That's great. You know, then you remember all my Iranian friends always say oh, no, no, no, they are. They're America and Iran. They're there. They play these games together. And then when we have Russia doing deals with North Korea.

Korea has condemned the defense pact that North Korea signed with Russia. Earlier this week. The foreign ministry called it a threat to peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. So someone Russia's ambassador to the Foreign Ministry to discuss its concerns. While the details of the military pact are still murky, South Korea is worried

Are you kidding me? So NASA now we have North Korea and South Korea representing Russia and Ukraine. Are you kidding me? Frank,

Vladimir Putin wants you all that supporting Ukraine would be a very big mistake. I was still interpreting that warning. Well, I think solar is still interpreting that warning. One of the articles of this agreement suggested that each country North Korea and Russia would come to each other's aid with all means, if they were in a state of war, the Korean War ended with an armistice not a peace treaty. So a state of war arguably exists now on the Korean peninsula.

Just pushing it right in our face. Oh, look, we'll make some more war stuff over here. Now spend more on war.

In the middle is a good way to waste money. Yeah, we

got people with Trank just upside down in the streets. bent over

to I have my to Ukraine, Ukraine. I'm sorry. To hit right Ukraine. I got a couple of Ukraine updates one from NPR and contrasting with one from PBS.

Okay. I think

they're both but they're both short. But let's see how they do. Let's start with NPR. Russia

launched a major attack of guided bombs on heart Kyiv Ukraine's second biggest city overnight, killing at least three people and injuring more than a dozen witnesses. A four explosions were heard around the city. And Moscow also targeted Ukraine's power grid for the eighth time in the past three months. Ukraine's Air Force as its defense systems shot down 12 of the 16 missiles and all 13 drones launched by Russia.

Ma'am, Eric Schmidt's make an out on this deal. Remember, he was doing all the drones in Ukraine?

He's making I don't know. I don't remember that. Yeah, yeah. We had a

whole he had a whole sit down with Fareed Zakaria and he's like go drones gonna be drones and he was right. It's all drones everyone's drones

oh actually the guided bombs are the more they it's interesting that NPR mentioned the guided bombs which is really what the Russians are. Did know when you stop these things because they're coming down at the speed of gravity right the glider buzzing around. I find it interesting at PBS I don't believe in this clip even mentions the guided bombs. Ukrainian

president Volodymyr Zelensky, said Russia has launched more than 2400 guided missiles and Ukrainian targets this month alone. His remarks followed a deadly day of attacks that killed three people and injured dozens more in Hartke. That's Ukraine's second largest city. So Alinsky said Ukraine needs more help from Western allies.

So I got some useful news. From Africa news, it's not about Africa. This is the only place I could find this, where Putin is reaching out to NATO.

During a briefing with graduate military and law enforcement schools in Moscow. Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness to engage in discussions regarding

he's wants to talk but in the meantime, ramp up the nukes. They don't want to talk. No, of course they don't want to talk to himself. They never talk about peace ever, ever.

I have no money in it. Peace

is not profitable. I have a little bit some updates on the bird flu, which has gone kind of quiet during this week as I noticed this during this week of of the debate. At first we have Larkin soon to be de malarkey. And she provides a boots on the ground. She says I'm a third generation farmer in California and I have so much farming information to share with you guys. It is our busy season, but I'll try to send more info soon. Although the war on chickens jingle is one of the

It's interesting, I think. Yes. And when you add the pork prices are extremely low right now.

Hmm. Yeah. The summer of pork is what we talked about.

Chinese pork talked about this summer of pork. We

I literally said the summer of pork on the show. Yeah. All right. Don't make me look it up. Now. I

want you to look it up.

And I reached out to my friends who did very well in the testing business during COVID. Your buddies? Yeah. And I said, What are you hearing about the bird flu? Here's what came back. The CDC made a call out last week to see li a certified laboratories, asking them to create rapid tests for bird flu, just like they did when COVID started and a surplus of rapid tests popped up on the market. I'll keep you posted. So

Oh, that'd be more free tests. Yeah. Load up. We

know it's a bonanza. We know it's a bonanza.

Yeah, well, I get to test for free but somebody's paying for him.

Exact taxpayer US government. Yes, the vape wars and the vape wars are back on I see you have to vape walk vapour clips. I'd

like to start with pathetic. Oh, good.

Let's start with those.

Let's start with this is about trying to get kids off of these things. And this is considered a crisis. So let's go to teen vape crisis is good stuff. One

of my friends was so addicted, she would say things like, I'll just die at 20 Whatever. 2.1 million teens vaped and 2023. A third of whom were just in middle school.

What? Who's doing this reporting? What outfit?

I believe this is NPR

at a Senate hearing Wednesday, lawmakers asked the FDA why it's failing to tackle the problems. This is a shelf full of potentially dangerous substances in a store in the shadow of the FDA building. I'm just trying to figure out if any of this is illegal or how in the hill it's legal. Senator Tom Tillis points to flavors such as strawberry dragon fruit, watermelon, even watermelon bubblegum the FDA is director of tobacco products Brian King never directly answered.

What is this is real. This is actually quite good. Because I know what this is about. What is interesting is they keep saying e cigarette and tobacco product vape is not a tobacco product. There's no tobacco in it. Nicotine Yes. But that's not a tobacco this was the whole problem is that kids were vaping and they weren't smoking so the MSA the master states agreement that you know, the tax money was going down, down down because these kids are not on tobacco. Now all of a

they've done a good job of it. You know, the funny thing is I had listened to and recorded and edited these reports. I, I don't see anybody using vapes at all and in the Bay Area.

While you're about to, and I'll tell you why. But I want to hear okay, well, that's

up to you can tell me why over a quarter of youth e cigarette users use the products every day. One of the primary reasons as you have heard, children are attracted to E cigarettes is the sweet fruit candy and mint flavors. They come in Dr. Susan Wally helps people get off nicotine products. She says it's very difficult to get children to quit because of the high nicotine volume and vapes. The adolescent brain is more susceptible to nicotine

Before you go on with your analysis. I don't know if you notice this, but she said she's a 14 year older as her 14 year old brain. Yeah, she's reading from a script. And then she said she was driving a car.

Isn't that interesting?

How does that work? How does it for you know as she's stolen, it steals cars have a license if she's 14 joyriding we used to do that. There's something about this report that that kind of bothered me. All right. So

we have to go back and I know we have vape experts out there who will help me if I go astray and please feel free to email me because this I'm a vapor but it's not an e cigarette okay, it's a big battery and I wind the coil and I've got you know pure cotton not from China. So first we had jewel this is really what it was the jewel e cigarette the vape which was you know, you put in a little thing in there a little cartridge and right Reynolds bought it or who was it who owns

The FDA has approved the sale of the first menthol e cigarettes. For adults, the authorization does not mean vaping is safe, but health officials say it can be a little bit less harmful. As an alternative to regular cigarettes. The move already is getting pushed back from anti smoking groups who argue it's only going to fuel the youth vaping epidemic further.

And why do they want all this? This is because of Senate Bill 2929 to amend Internal Revenue Code of 1986 provide tax rate parity among all tobacco products and for other purposes. And this is also known as the What is this called? The Tobacco Tax Equity Act cuts. And what do they insert into the tax code? Nicotine taxable nicotine? Remember, it's not a tobacco product. So now Oh, yeah, this is how we do it. View on do you want to do something bad kids no

It's excellent.

I have to say, if you're gonna do it, do it well. But don't pretend like you have these little

screens, you can pretend all you want doesn't matter. Nobody cares.

I care. But you're the only one. I'm not the only I'm not the only vapor.

No, I'm saying you're the only one who cares about the scam? Oh, well, you

because I'm not in on it.

Which, by the way, is a very interesting cake. I'm not going to expose the scams I'm not involved in.

I just have one one more clip I wanted to play about the anti Defamation League because this just cracks me up. This is This is too funny. It's from morning, Joe. So it's like everyone's going crazy. What side are we supposed to be on? We had to be on the on the Jews side on the Arab side, the Hamas side, the Hezbollah side, we're confused. Let's go to Wikipedia, one of

the world's most popular information websites, has declared the anti Defamation League as an unreliable source. The editors at Wikipedia now say that the top Jewish civil rights group and one of the world's preeminent authorities on anti Jewish hate is not a reliable source for information about the ISRAEL PALESTINE conflict and anti semitism. They're claiming that because it's you guys are both in their words, advocacy and a resource organization. So therefore, the advocacy, taints

I just love that they're taking wiki pedia seriously.

Yeah, that's pathetic. But there's also an ill logic. And what he said in the old logic is that if we're not doing our jobs and antiSemitism will increase, well, you're doing your jobs and it's increasing anyway. So what good are you

just love the the editors or Wikipedia determined

that Wikipedia has always been woke, and it's got all kinds of issues. It's completely wrong about half a dozen things that these stays with it. A bunch

of spooks running it is hilarious, I think is great. Oh, by the way, sir Jake, sent me a note. We were talking about Taco Tuesday on the on the Eisenhower was the Eisenhower,

which says, oh, yeah, the USS Eisenhower

versus Eisenhower. And I was like, Oh, what's this with Taco Tuesday? Well, I got slapped as an evil supply officer who has been in charge of galleys on ships. Hiking, confirm that Taco Tuesday is a huge hit of Sailor favorite, and something we simply can't do without if Taco Tuesdays went away. It would be a morale Crusher. Good to know.

I doubt it's good to know I

take it from Sir Jake. And he uses he knows what's up. Well,

if he before he take our final break, I do have a kind of a second half a show couple of clips. You

know, well, let me just throw the Theramin in. All right now we're entering second half of show you've taken over my gig. Let's find

out nobody else is doing it. No source. So this is a podcast called Forbidden news that has gotten a lot of attention on the on the Twitter and some other social networks and it's just a couple of blowhards. This guy Oh loony or Loony, whatever his name is British guys, and they're talking about the UN troops are coming in to take over everything. Oh, yeah,

this is always good. Yeah, the blue helmets are coming. Yeah.

And they're gonna come in, and they come in, in United States too. But this is the British version. It's the same kind of story that we get here. But this is a bunch of Brits talking back and forth about it. And to listen to this insanity is just beyond me. So this UN soldiers on Forbidden news,

you know, we talked about a lot of things to do with COVID, and what your experiences were with all of that, but you've also been speaking out about something else that seems to be growing exponentially every day. And that is the mass illegal immigration that's going on in England, in Wales, in Scotland, and over in Ireland as well. I mean, it is quite literally, off the charts and a lot of people. A lot of people say, Look, this isn't normal. There's something not right.

What made you listen to this? I

got into a back and forth is one of our producers.

So it's one of the I love these emails. Like, this is great. You got to listen to this. You got to watch this three hour rumble video. Yes,

always rumble

and you did it.

I did. So

age men, there it is, again, military age, man. Yeah. Same trope. Yeah, this is

it. So total trope, that people that I have the guts to, to make these kinds of, you know, they leave one country and go to another one way or another. They tends to be people in a certain age group, because you're not going to find 90 year old man or kids or anything in between. So it's military age men. And so but the rationale, this is what I have these clips, it's the rationale and the delusion that these guys Express, and I hear it from from our producers that get into this

the door he was on Jimmy Dore, it must be real. Yes,

exactly. And so I so I have the and I consider the second half of show nuttiness. Let's go into part two.

Just Just to recap, you've got you've got evidence that these boats that are coming in, they're only doing that big, so to sort of to meet some kind of or pass through underneath some kind of radar in terms of legislation. If you're lost at sea, they're obliged to save you. And that's the idea of them coming over in small rubber boats. Is they lost

To vote. Oh, my goodness. You know, if you send me one of these links, or it's like a corporate report, and I don't reply to you as corporate report, it's because we have been doing this for 17 years. I mean, I even got someone the other day, you clearly aren't familiar with the cue strategy.

I mean, that's, that's still not a brown. Is it? You?

Oh, yeah. And there was, um, there was because I was talking about Trump, like, you know, he hired all these horrible people. He's good at firing, but he's not good at hiring. No, no, no, you'd understand. That's the cue strategy. Keep your enemies even closer. Oh, okay. Please, this is JFK Jr. is going to be his vice presidential. If JFK Jr. is his vice presidential pick, and JFK Jr. comes back from the dead. I will eat my boot.

Well, that's a that's a bet you. That's yeah, you can make these kinds of assertions because you're the chances are zero in hell

and Fauci is Mama's Mother Teresa. I mean, it's crazy.

I liked that one. Yeah. Just

look at her face. And look. Okay, so here's where it is the same blue and white colors from Epstein's islands. Uh huh.

So here we go with the part three and this the end on

to vote. That's what nearly made me fell off my chair. Because he said they just have to be proved that they've been living there in any capacity can be a tent for the last six months. Yes. And they will then be allowed to stand in the elections were elected. Yes, yes. And your legal migrants do you want people fine facilitating that? You know what happened to Shin Fein one time Shin fit a lot of people in America who they still don't haven't woken up to this yet. Yeah. One time Shin Fein

It goes on. Yeah,

I can imagine. Well, you're very brave. You're very brave to have sat through all that. A podcast. I know. I have my hopes still high on podcast, but especially Do you know that? Have you been following just as the last little bit here that it's, you know, quote unquote, Soros. I'm not even sure who

No, I have not even heard any of this until you right now.

Oh, yeah. No, it's It's him. FCC waivers boost Soros bid to further silence the right with Odyssey takeover. And so Odyssey has a B flat so they already put forward they were already shareholder. Video The Odyssey filed for bankruptcy and so they put $400 million in the Soros organization. Weekly the network reaches 165 million listeners. Conservative hosts including Sean Hannity, Dana lash lash, lash lash, loose

That's what, that's what the future's grim. However

I have let me see. I think I'm over. I sewed actually, here's the Arnold. He was boring. No, or I hated every minute of it. Come on.

That's a good one. That's pretty good.

Also have How did this get in here? That got in there that shouldn't be there. That, by the way, is a woman who's bringing America back together. There's this one

and this one, yes. That's right. That's true. Yeah.

Well, I don't like to use negative ones. But from Schwarzenegger. I like the I hated every minute of it.

I hated every minute of it.

That's kind of clear, crisp. I think we should you know, we have our mixed feelings about that guy.

And for your consideration of the day. That's right. Everybody has time once again for the tip of the day. Jhansi Dvorak, what do you have in store for us?

So you know, one of the things about the shows I uncomfortable with Oh, is there are ragging on vaccines on the backs on the COVID shot, the mRNA shot uncomfortable

with that. I'm

uncomfortable knowing that at least half of our audience has taken this shot.

Okay, fair enough.

So I have so Peter McCullough has a protocol for ridding yourself of the after effects of the shot. Yes, yeah, we've kind of discussed what we've never fully discussed. So I decided just to link to it. And my tip is for people who had the shot to go look at the protocol and see what it is and read about it and it's easy to get to it's it's on the web. It's under, you could type this into check to make sure it works. Tiny. You are l.com. We all know that

excellent. Now you just you produce something. That's good.

I pray. Yes, I did. Nice. And so go there and read that. And then if you you know, this way, I think I think it's a I think the protocol sounds possible. It sounds like a winner. McCullough is the one who developed it. And I think it might be something people should be aware of.

I like this idea. And so it's tiny URL, or no tiny What is it again?

tinyurl.com/no. Agenda? No, dash agenda? No, no data agenda. Okay. Yeah, I gave the regular no agendas at work. I'd like that. Because

I know people here in town who were forced to take the vaccine. And they are they have done this protocol. There's several functional medicine doctors here in town who are administering this protocol. And from what I hear with great success, whatever that means people are doing it. And I think that's a great idea.

And it's all it's public domain products is not like you have to go get a prescription. And

I've also heard people just taking ivermectin just on a, like a regular basis. Yeah.

for the heck of it. I think just the color and this protocol, I think is probably better. Yeah. Unless you have worms, then you ivermectin do the trick.

Good news. It's good advice. John sees two.

Beautiful, beautiful at the end of another broadcast day. Not on Odyssey No, we can't be taken over by Soros. But we will club a baby seal if you don't support us.

There is so much misinformation disinformation as we've been caught talking about the president wandering big fakes videos. These videos are effective because they are difficult to fix for reasons the President wandering means John Pierre and others are calling these cheap fakes cheap fakes. We're hearing about some called shoe fakes, the president wandering, even calling it's literally

describing what CBS News has been doing for years. Where was the

president wandering?

This is so misleading.

Video, however, we have seen last few months the videos targeting Biden are getting a lot more traction online. This is trying to last us wandering off. But what about Biden who believes he is fit to lead us? That's a really good question. Oh, absolutely. People have been watching. They express concerns about your mental immunity. They say that you are too old. Come on, man. Want to go with the evidence and the truth, the very public and obvious

I love this whole topic

they are here to face video for jobs. Earlier obviously the fact checkers have repeatedly caught on pushing misinformation disinformation. Bias is just something coming from Europe your part of the world calling them and she makes misinformation. misinformation. Oh no. Really believing what was being said and what was the scene what they are borak.org/n A I hated every minute of it.
