1702 - "Sloppin' Hopper"

It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Adam curry. John C Dvorak,

2024, this is your award winning gimbal nation media assassination episode 1702.

This is no agenda. We're unedited by CBS, and we're

broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas new country here in FEMA reach number six in the morning. Everybody. I'm Adam curry

from Northern Silicon Valley, where we advise you to stop using the word triage. I'm Johnson Dvorak Buzzkill.

I think we should use that all the time during our show. We're triaging all the clips we got, triaging all the boots on the ground, so we can make sure we get all the right stuff out there. Triaging. I kind of like it.

Yeah. So I was watching one of the Fox shows, the fox, fox morning chatterbox. They like to say triage for

everything. The Fox chatterbox. There you go. That's a good one. The Fox chatterbox, yeah, the triage. So it seems to me like, okay, it sucks, but I think the weather people kind of got it all wrong. Wasn't everyone supposed to be dead and destroyed and everything swept away and the storm surge drowned everybody. Yet they forgot to predict the tornadoes. 126 of them, to be exact. Where was that prediction? I didn't hear anyone Well, it

matters not they can predict the climate, but they can't predict this. Yeah, happens the next day. Yeah, of course. We're

we are, of course, by

the way, I want to say that Santis, DeSantis, DeSantis De Santis, I was watching his entire press conference. This guy really is a good governor. Oh yeah. He just seems to be on top of everything. He's got the facts in front of him. He goes on and on and on. He's got all kinds of

when, and even though he's not wearing the white boots, you still can't get that out of your head. You still see him with the white boots. Hard to hard to visualize him without those

competency and it's just there's a combination of things. But he's definitely a governor you'd like to have as a governor,

yes, but every I mean, we have lots of friends and lots of course, there's lots of producers in in Florida, and the reporting was just freaking everybody out. It was, it was, and of course, it's not great. There's no doubt, no doubt there's a problem. But it's not at all the destruction that we were sold. I feel gypped the tornadoes. That's the thing that got me though. What? Not a single mention of that. And then

up stuff left and right. Yeah, yeah, the funny. And there was mentioned that, you know, in Florida, where they do have tornadoes on occasion, especially with some accompanying some hurricanes, you can't build tornado shelters because the water table is so high. No, you can't. It's like, you know, the water table is right under the house. So

of course, we hope everyone's okay and that the damage isn't too bad. We we won't know, really, for a little bit, but the they had no good reports. They didn't have anyone blowing over from the wind. The wind didn't even seem, I mean, you know, I've been doing a little because, oh man,

by the way, uh, Cooper, uh, pooper got, yeah, pooper, yeah. He was on CNN. He got hit by debris. It was, it's a piece of styrofoam hit him, and it was like a roll of disaster. Oh, so

I don't want to make light of it, because, you know, if you're, if your house is flooded,

it sucks, yeah, or even gone, if,

if it's gone, that's what seemed the wind damage seemed to be pretty minimal. I mean, just, I

don't think so. Oh, the wind damage was all the damage, but

it was, well, here's the one that made me kind of smile and

take a look at this video just into the newsroom from Tropicana Field in St Petersburg, where the stadium's rooftop has literally been torn apart by the winds from Hurricane Milton. You may remember Tropicana Field was transformed into a shelter for first responders ahead of the big storm.

So it's a stadium with a vinyl roof where a team plays that no one cares about, but that was the news that was a very flimsy roof looked just like vinyl you. It

was, yeah. So, okay, just

a coded. It was just a it wasn't really, it was more of a balloon roof,

yeah. So, yeah, of course, the

I will say, by the I will say, the sound really does stink.

What do you mean what you're hearing?

Yeah, it's not like it's, I don't know what the chat room thinks, but it's not like it I can't understand you. It's just like a lousy phone connection.

Oh, that's interesting. No, it sounds good for everyone there. See, is there? Let me see, I want to make sure, oh, speech optimized. We don't want that. We want music optimized. Hold

on a second. Let

me see if that'll break

every musical tones,

yes, for my musical stylings, John, for my musical styling styling.

I'm sorry, yeah, maybe,

maybe that's better. I don't know, but it's that's what you're hearing is not what was what's recording. So, of course, I can't get away from they modified the weather. They seeded the clouds, they steered it that way.

Just had a good commentary on this, too. I wish I had clipped it. It would came in late. It was this morning. He said, he says this is he's basically said. He says both. He did a good job of balancing it, because he condemned the idea that they're changing the weather, because it's hurricane season. So this happens all the time. The worst hurricane, he points out, was in on late the famous Labor Day hurricane of the 1930s which was worse than anything. And he says, this is

Well, there was a so I have a couple of clips because it was worth playing. Since Biden, they rolled Biden out. This may have been the real Biden. You can't tell when he's if he's not standing up. It's hard to see if I can't see the back of his head. I don't know if it's Biden or daddy long legs, but he came out and slurs something out alive.

There's simply no place for this to happen. Former President Trump has led the onslaught of lies. Sessions have been made that property is being confiscated. That's simply not true. They're saying people impacted by these terms will receive $750 in cash and no more. That's simply not true. The money is needed for this crisis is being diverted to migrants. What a ridiculous thing to say. Now the claims are

Jeff, so that was a very that was real stately there. Joe and MSNBC really ran with this ball. And thank goodness we're connecting this to climate change. I mean, it took they didn't do, I've got clips. They didn't do it during

Helene, but oh no, they did it big time on this one. Yeah. So I was just start

with a few, and then I'll do a few Chris Hayes clips, because, man, he was hot over there on MSNBC. Hurricane Helene,

I thought you were going to say, thank God for MSNBC, because nobody listens to it. Well,

no. I mean, they need us. They need us to get to any listenership. And here you go

now. Hurricane Helene just showed us how this phenomenon is wreaking havoc, even in areas previously thought to be safe from these kinds of storms, tucked away deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Asheville, North Carolina, was considered a little slice of paradise. Some called it a climate Haven, suggesting it was immune to extreme weather.

Now, I don't know where MSNBC got this idea from, what? Because there was a huge there was a equally large storm in 1916 there was one as as recent as 2014 what so. But then they have this like this. This footage of birds chirping and oh, it's a haven. We're safe here, huh?

But last week that paradise turned out to be an illusion. Oh, my God, battering the area for days. Stop

a second. Stop. Stop the I, you know, this is an interesting form of reporting, where you create a false scenario, yeah, and then you report. On it, free, creative, classic, this is what these guys do. They should be ashamed of themselves at NBC News, no,

I think they're doing a great job. This is they're doing exactly what they're paid to do, to promote climate change and at the same time discredit Trump and anyone else who's in his camp, ripping apart

homes, washing out roads, toppling trees and cutting off entire towns. New research out this week says there is strong evidence human driven climate change strengthened Helene's destructive power. It made the storms

strong evidence Helene strengthened, strengthened by human made climate change, so just strengthened it it's a multiplier, a force multiplier. Force multiplier term is rapid intensification. We'll get to that human

driven climate change strength into Lean's destructive power. One study saying it made the storms, rainfall up to 20% heavier, 28 winds 7% stronger. Seeing these events that are boosted by climate change, stronger, wetter, lasting longer. Another report found that a warmer climate led to 50% more rain over parts of the Carolinas and Georgia than would have been expected. You know,

is just as a little entremond clip here. So it's stronger, it's wetter. PBS had this to say about last year and 2023

was the driest year for the world's rivers in more than three decades.

I mean, make up your mind. Is it going to be wetter or is it going to be drier? I mean, they can't seem to figure out what it's

going to be. Unfortunately, there's no coordinated yeah, there's no

messaging, no central command,

there's no exactly they set that up. Yeah, we wouldn't have these issues. Curry

Dvorak Consulting Group. We're available. Do it. We're available. We're available. All right, so let's just face the fact climate to climate change is it's, it's responsible for everything. Storms

like Killeen and what we expect to come from Milton are exactly, precisely what experts have been screaming about for decades now, as John Morales, Nicole Wallace, it is

was crying on the air. I

have, you know, this is funny. You have that clip from from Chris Hayes, because in my little series of hurricane clips, it's included exactly this, well, not exactly, but pretty much the same clip, only. He's crying more from NPR, the same guy. This is the coordinated effort. Do

you know which clip that is? Can we play that real quick?

I'd rather play the whole series. All

right, all right. I'll get through this.

So we are now preparing for the second major climate change fueled hurricane in two weeks, which could put a dangerous strain on federal resources. Climate fueled New York Times reports the Federal Emergency Management Agency is running out of staff to deal with the potential devastation of Hurricane. No as of Monday morning, just 9% of FEMA personnel were available to respond to hurricane or other

he say, he said 9% responded to the to one of their was it? Helene, yes. Well, I thought they were like all, all hands on deck, yeah.

But the rest is at the border, helping people at the border, getting them into hotels. As

of Monday morning, just 9% of FEMA personnel were available to respond. Oh, that was available. Where's that

90% where the other 91

that must be in

western 1000s and 1000s of people? Well, I

hope they're in western North Carolina, but they should have figured out anyway, that's just continue the

hurricane or other disasters. Now, while FEMA says it is well equipped to handle the strains, it is reminder the challenge of more frequent natural disasters. The Times noting that FEMA is also responding to flooding and land signs in Vermont, tornadoes in Kansas, the aftermath of Tropical Storm Debbie in New York and Georgia and the watch fire in Arizona. And those are just disasters that were declared the past two weeks. Okay, so

now Chris gets Wait.

I want to point out. I want you to remember that he said more frequent, more free, because I in my series of clips, I got a little contradiction in here. Good, good.

So now Chris Hayes gets into some math, which is just astounding. I'm not a climate scientist, nor is he remember.

What I'm telling you right now, what we're looking at right now in the last week, what we're preparing for Milton. This is what we are now facing with global average temperatures a little over one degree Celsius higher than the pre Industrial Average. Okay, one that's one 1% imagine what it will look like when we reach two degrees, twice as bad. Oh, so

if it's two degrees, then it'll be twice as bad, or

three or four, that is the world. It'll be

four times as bad if

it was. So let's see it goes from, let's say, one degree higher, which would be a percent. What a point? If 5% some small percentage, but somehow it's going to be twice as bad. It's

going to double. And if it's three degrees, work exactly, exactly. It's fake news, or three

or four. That is the world Donald Trump would push, not that he cares. He thinks it would be good for real estate values. When I hear these people talking about global warming, that's the global warming you have to worry about, not that the ocean is going to rise in 400 years, an eighth of an inch, and you'll have more seafront property, right? If that happens, I said, is that good or bad? I said, Isn't that a good thing? If I have a little property on the ocean, I have a little bit more

You said more ocean. Anyway, that so at least we know it's all Donald Trump's fault in Donald Trump's and I will play this last clip, and then we'll, we'll play your clips, and then I'll come back to some of the conspiracy theories. And this is, this has got to be my favorites. Now,

we've known for decades our planet is warming, that we would start seeing the brutal effects, but conservatives running so deep in their denial, they're flailing around for anyone or anything else to blame. Republican Congressman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is now like a big mover and shaker in the Republican Party, is promoting a bizarre conspiracy theory about a mysterious day. You can imagine who that is.

So on the screen they have her tweet which says, yes, they can control the weather. The weather always remember that. So that's what she said. And I think we can prove that that is probably true, not that this was the case, but that's the tweet

controlling the weather, suggesting that they are sending hurricanes to Republican areas to impact the election, like someone is sitting at some computer somewhere pressing hurricane. It's not just her. She's now being amplified by right wing media and the Republican nominee himself, Chris, Chris decaf has the government figured out how to build a storm into a super storm that will destroy everything that's passed, and then how to aim it. Right now, he's

just playing some rando guys from I don't know, YouTube or whatever, who are just talking crap where they

want to aim it. It just happens to miss South Florida while the Democrats live. Something strange is going on. These are Trump counties.

Some actors to do stuff like, this

is great. This

is great.

Something strange is going on. These are Trump

counties. And don't tell me for a second. Don't tell me for a second that what we're not seeing is a massive government push, voter suppression

operation. You know, it's largely a Republican area. Some people say they did it for that reason. I don't even think they're that bad, but they probably made random,

random clip, random clip, making it sound like Trump is talking about some weather modification, which is not they are.

They say they're sending the storms they are sending the storms. Tom Trump's running mate, Janie Vance, found a way to get in on it too. Blaming it on immigrants, you have FEMA, which is there for disaster relief for American citizens after a terrible storm being deployed repeatedly to deal with Kamala Harris' wide open border and the migrant

All right, so I want to come back to those weight theories.

What did he did? He was that played on his show.

That was van, that last

part of the tip, yeah,

he played that. That's dumb.

I'm saying that because he's trying to build a case, and then he throws something out there which actually is reasonable, yes, and if I'm listening to so that's interesting. I mean that this is, these guys don't even know how to do this, right? All right. So

I want to come back to the weather modification and conspiracy theories, but first, let's get into your clips before we drift. Yeah, let's

get these out of the way. Yeah. This is a, this is a series that's on NPR. This is part of a long presentation on hurricane overview, and it brings in everything we need that. It starts with Hurricane overview, N O, A, A,

the damage hurricane Milton could cause is chilling, but maybe it shouldn't be surprising. Julie is looking to be an extraordinary one in a number of ways. That was Rick spinrad, head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, last May, rolling out the federal agency's annual hurricane outlook, NOAA is predicting an above average 2024 Atlantic hurricane season. Of note, the forecast for named storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes, is the highest NOAA has ever issued for the May

Incredible, incredible, really, that sounded like a Dvorak repeats. No sweetening. Oh, interesting.

All right, he said that. All right. So that goes on. This is like they're trying to build a case for. What do you think you're going to build a case for? And it comes up right away. I did early in the clippage

that hot water in the Gulf allows storms to intensify at unbelievable speeds, as Hurricane Milton did on Monday afternoon. A fact that Move Veteran Florida meteorologist John Morales nearly to tears, he has dropped 50 millibars in 10 hours. I apologize, this is just horrific. Later in that same report, Morales cited those hot ocean temperatures and explained where they came from.

it's interesting. You know, Tina lived in Florida for 15 years, lived through a number of hurricanes. And I said, was the millibar? Was the pressure ever an issue? Says, I don't know anything about that. No one ever talked about millibars. It's always been the wind speed. This seems to be a new metric they're pulling in.

That's interesting. You're right, because I've noticed it before. Now I think what's interesting, also interesting, I hate to overuse that word, but is this guy's in tears. He's obviously an emotional wreck. Probably somebody shouldn't trust with any with your children or guns, or guns, definitely no guns with that guy, red flag. And so you so he so this is the guy that go goes right to climate change. So he's an unstable person. Now he's going talking about climate

Well, he was doing his job. He's an actor.

NPR climate editor Rachel waldholtz has been looking into how a warming planet contributes to these storms and what climate change could mean for the future of catastrophic weather events. Hi Rachel, hi. Ari, first. Helene, now Milton, are these two massive hurricanes in just about two weeks, evidence that we are seeing more frequent storm activity than in the past. So actually, no, no,

no, you better come up with something better than that. So

that's why I wanted to mention call back to Chris Hayes saying they're more frequent. Yeah,

he's full of crap.

Yeah, he's totally full of crap.

The numbers are there. Everyone can see the numbers. There's just been less of them certainly this year.

So let's go. Okay, so onward to four.

We haven't seen an increase in the number of hurricanes hitting the US, but climate change is making many storms more intense, so more powerful with way more rain, more dangerous storm surge, more flooding. And so while the total number of hurricanes isn't increasing, dangerous storms are becoming more common, and that can definitely make it feel like we're getting more overall. So let's get to the climate change piece of this. We know that a

yes, exploded before it actually got to landfall, and it was a three actually crapped

out. Yeah, it did.

It did

so. So we have this, this narrative going on, and it's like, right in the middle of it, you have to do a call back to climate isn't weather? Yes, correct. They pounded it into us. Climate isn't weather, or weather is weather

isn't climate, I think was the exact phrase.

Either one, yes, it's the same thing. But the point is, is that they'd always bring that out when it was freezing cold. We had this, you know, yeah, yeah, it was really cold. No, no, no, no. It's got nothing to do with it. But now there's a little disaster going on. Yes, exactly. Oh, it's a. This is what's causing it. Okay? So, so they go on with a before

so warm oceans translate to stronger storms. But there's another element here, which is that climate change adds to sea level rise, which can create a bigger storm surge, right? Explain that? Yeah, so climate change is driving rising sea levels, and some of the fastest rates of sea level rise in the world actually are along the Gulf Coast. So that's driven by melting ice on land, like the Greenland ice sheet, but also as water.

So let me understand so the ice sheet is melting, and therefore the water in the Gulf gets warmer. In the Gulf, in the Gulf gets warmer from the melting ice goes up.

Yeah, of course it

does. That's driven by melting ice on land like the Greenland ice sheet. But the thing she said, got warmer. Let me see driving rising sea levels. And some of the fastest rates of sea level rise in the world actually are along the Gulf Coast.

I can't believe I'm not how come I don't have beachfront property here in the heart of Texas. I should. So

that's driven by melting ice on land like the Greenland ice sheet. But also, as water gets warmer, it expands. So then when a storm like Milton comes along, driving this huge wall of water in front of it, and water levels are already higher than they used to be, that's a recipe for really catastrophic storm surge. And right now we're seeing predictions of 15 feet of storm surge in some places.

I don't think it reaches. Doesn't water expand

when you freeze it, yeah, yes, doesn't it? Yes, yes.

Why are you bringing logic to the show stop. Sorry.

You know.

So it turns out they've also, so not only have they added this, this new metric of barometric pressure, and at millibars, yes, in millibars, not, not inches, which is interesting, we do that in millibars, things because it looks bigger in millibars, you know, instead of saying 29.9 so millibars because then it's like, oh, it's 900 millibars. There seems to also have been an interesting reshuffling of the category with wind speeds. And I was unaware of this, but we do

I'm asking questions

exactly which is a 111 to 129 mile per hour? That's a 19 mile per hour range. And then category four. Now this is the interesting a category four is anywhere from 130 to 156 so now all of a sudden, that's a 27 mile per hour range. So it seems like they're driving everything into at least a cat four, and then a cat five is anything over 157 so this is a reminds me a little bit of the of the changes they made to the Richter scale and became the momentum scale for earthquakes, whatever

it is now, you

know, whatever it is. So now we get into everybody spinning up and spinning out, including friends of mine, good friends of mine, like, oh, this was to disrupt the election, to which I say, Okay, I love that, by the way, North Carolina blue, so, so that wasn't the intention.

Democrat governor. Yes, it's a blue state.

But then you do Florida, like, okay, so what are you really disrupting? We have an electoral college, you know. So it's not going to make any difference, you know, if you do it in Pennsylvania, and,

yeah, that's George.

Want to do it? Yeah, that's just Michigan. Steer it that way. Blow

up Michigan.

So I have to just spend a little bit on on these theories of weather modification, because there's, you know, you can look at it several different ways. French 24 dove right into it more

broadly. Do we know? Are there ways to try and mitigate the dangers of hurricanes? Well, actually, scientists have long searched for a way to at least attenuate or even prevent the formation of hurricanes, or at least to try to change their track. It started after World War Two with the project Cyrus, that was financed by GE but also the US. Army. And what they did is that they projected dry ice straight into the hurricane, thinking that, by

the way, is very irritating. But in in France, they don't say hurricane. They say hurricane. For some reason, hurricane, it

was going to modify the cloud envelope and change the structure of the hurricane. And they did, you know, observe somewhat, somewhat of some changes in the appearance of the hurricane, but they couldn't establish a very strong causal effect. So then there was another project that was a little bit more known, called the storm fury project. It lasted for 20 years. It was funded by the US government. And

So there's been lots of experiments, so it's no wonder that people discuss these things. And one of those experiments actually veered the hurricane, often in a wrong direction. People got very angry at the government. Now it doesn't help that Lyndon Johnson, President Lyndon Johnson was quite jitty about the whole concept,

the foundation for the development of a weather satellite that will permit man to determine the world's cloud labor and ultimately to control the weather, and he who controls

the weather will control the world. Yeah, He who controls the weather to bring back classic. It's a classic. And you, you know, you listen to the commentators, nobody. What you're doing right now is should have been done by every by Fox, for example. You were more interested in using the word triage instead of

prioritizing. And it also doesn't help that CIA Director John O Brennan also kind of alluded to this, as

promising as it may be, moving forward on essay

he's going to talk about stratospheric. S was it s Sai, Stratos, Stratospheric Aerosol injection, promising

as it may be, moving forward on sai would also raise a number of challenges for our government and for the international community. On the technical side, greenhouse gas emission reductions would still have to accompany sai to address other climate change effects such as ocean acidification, because sai alone would not remove greenhouse gasses from

of course it fascinates him, because weather modification, you can rule the world. So this is where these conspiracies come from. And we have a we have a

just to defend Marjorie Taylor Greene, she didn't say anything wrong.

She didn't it was a very short tweet, and I think she was spot on. It's inflammatory, you know, it's, it's what Marjorie Taylor,

that's what she does. That's what

she does. We have job. We have a knight who is very high up in and he wants to remain anonymous, I have to say carefully, in one of the larger American weather modification associations. And so he has a lot of background. I checked him out, so I can't, I can't talk about him per se. But he says,

plan to execute between 70 and 80 we plan to evacuate between 70 and 80,000 people.

So first of all, I think the director of FEMA, or the administrator is a woman. So this is a black guy. It's Lloyd Austin from 2021 and I remember this because somebody sent you this clip. Oh, it's all over. You got the girls going like, oh, is this the truth? Wanting to come out? Oh, yeah, there's

exceeded all expectations. Yeah, that's Lloyd, Austin. It's Austin. We plan to execute between 70 and 80. We plan to evacuate between 70 and 80,000 people.

So it's like, oh, okay, please. This is a very old clip, and it goes around and people like, they're going to execute people the other, the other one that really got me, yeah, the one that really got, I think is fabulous, is now this, this was people were getting mad at me about this, because I was, look, I have experience,

and if you're gonna get mad, they should get mad at you, yes, oh, they never

get mad at you. They should. You need to exalt the older men? Yes. So this is a clip of North Carolina, and it only had titles over it, and it had this really ominous music. I'll play it with a Blackhawk helicopter, and it would say, Oh, look at them. It's unmarked. They're coming over here. They're rotor washing us. And so I get emails from people I learned a new term, rotor washing. Look at what they're doing to us. They're rotor washing us. And I'm like, Okay,

Carolina National Guard is investigating an accident or an incident, I should say, of one of its helicopters at a Helene Donation Center. Viewer shared this video of the chopper coming too close to a distribution site in Burnsville. The National Guard says this happened as the pilot tried to land and deliver generators. The National Guard says on approach, the crew noticed that there were too many people tents and supplies close the landing

So, oh, so, of course, you know this was not, I mean, the implication this is because there's so little trust, or maybe just massive distrust in our government at the moment that people jump to this conclusion that they're trying to purposely hurt them. I just don't think that was the case and but the programming was so strong when I even said, Hey, I don't think that's, I don't think this is their purposely rotor washing. Because if you really purposely want to rotor

stop right there. That's what you do. Yes,

that's what you do. With an interview

I used to guy I knew, David Renson, who used to write for Playboy. We were talking one day about how I met him because they were going to do a piece of it involved me and he's talked about the best interviews in the Playboy, interviews are extremely edited, because that otherwise you're going to bore people stiff. If you look at something like Interview magazine, when that was around, they would do Waldo.

So when I, of course, you know, everyone had the side by side, it's about 15 seconds longer the unedited bit, and we can certainly play it. But the point is, it was CBS themselves who put the whole, the full answer Question and Answer out. It was on Face The Nation as a promo reel for the interview. Because then, when I saw this, like, Well, where did this come from? This tape. Was it leaked? Is there someone within CBS? Because that's the implication, oh, we got the raw,

have to do that. That's what you do. You do this is an entertainment at some level. You don't bore people stiff with the real deal, because no one's going to follow it. They're going to go nuts. Yes, she's a hopeless case. She's dumb.

Yeah, she is. She and if anything is a

dumb person, you can see it in her eyes.

I have actually have a backgrounder here, because she went on this, yeah, here, this France 24 again, but they had a good little summary of her media blitz.

We asked ahead of time. With just four weeks to go, it's her last chance for voters to get to know her better, cracking open a can of lager on Stephen Colbert's talk show, Vice President Harris continued her week long, high profile media blitz. Howard Stern's radio show, whose listenership skews white and male. She took a mix of more hardline questions on policy, but also showed her personality. Sis. Listen, I've been the first and first woman in almost every

I've looked at all of it. I looked at the 60 minutes. I looked at the view all of call her daddy boy. That was that was bored me to tears. It was, I mean, no, it was terrible. One blow job question. It was so boring. And

that's the thing that I mentioned in the newsletter, and I just want to reiterate it, yes, uh, Alexandra Cooper, Alex, Alex, who split off from Sophia with an F Sophia Franklin, because they used to be partners, and then they split off, and Alexandra got a potload of money because she was she played her cards right, and her and I've listened to her podcast now and again, trying to get some clips from it. Never been able to, all she does is talk about blow jobs. She is

So here's my conclusion, besides her word salad and saying nothing, which is okay, if you gave me 10 women and put them in a lineup and said, Okay, you're casting for president, she would be last. There is nothing about her at all that has anything presidential. She has dead eyes. She has when she talks, She frowns when she talks, which is very off putting she has a bit of that vocal fry America

a wine, a Berkeley wine, Berkeley

wine. We

choose a Berkeley wine. We

choose our presidents like we choose our breakfast cereal. And this is not what Americans go for. I don't understand why the Republicans and conservatives in our country are so spun up about it. She's not going to be elected. Now, can they cheat? I even doubt that you can't cheat enough. Yeah, too big to rig. She is really unappealing, just unappeal She is. She's unappealing, which is the whole reason why she had 1% when she was running for president, she

can say from any perspective you want. I think if you talk to a lot of women don't like or, I mean, the only people that like or don't have never seen her do anything, they're just voting Democrat. Huge number of people out there,

yeah, sure, huge number, yes, but those are the ones who aren't hurting in the pocketbook.

Might be, but they just vote Democrat. There are people that vote Democrat. There are people that vote Republican, and there's a big range of people that actually take a look at Yeah, and they decide late, I do

want to play just two clips from the 60 Minutes interview, just to put some content and. A to this segment where we just slag women off based upon their parents.

That's what you did. I didn't do it. You're guilty

by association. Here she is, and there's a lot of hey, hey, you know, if you don't mind me, excuse me. I'm talking. Let me. Let me finish. That

does not work.

No, it's very it's not good at all. This is about the border. Was

it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies? As much as you dig. It's a long standing edit,

by the way, edit I can just you can tell where all the edits are. This thing was completely chopped up, not just this one bit immigration

policies, as much as you did. It's a long standing problem, and solutions are at hand, and from day one, literally, we have been offering solutions. What I was asking was, was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place. I think the policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. Okay, but the numbers did quadruple, and the numbers today because of what we have

that's a very bad answer, very bad answer, and everybody knows it. And then the other one is about her flip flopping on all of our policies. Let

me tell you what your critics and the colonists say.

The columnist or the columnist, pay attention.

We tell you what your critics and

hold that. Now I should mention what's kind of what, what

columnist? Columnist, the columnist. Oh, I tell you the columnist. Oh, God, lordy. Let me

tell you what your critics and the columnists say? Okay, they say, the reason so many voters don't know you is that you have changed your position on so many things. You were against fracking. Now you're for it. You supported looser immigration policies. Now you're tightening them up. You're for Medicare for all. Now you're not so many that people don't truly know what you believe or what you stand for, and I know you've heard that.

was a whole article in Atlantic magazine because they're so mad. They're so mad about Kamala and Trump going on podcasts and like, well, it's not real if you just want a softball personality in your head. Face it, mainstream media. Face it, M, 5m podcasts are taken over. Go sit behind the Go ahead. Sit behind the the paywall. See how you do.

I have a good, just an interrupting clip here about podcasts that was sent over by Steve. And where is this thing? It's actually kind of fits right into what you're saying.

I'm looking,

I'm looking too.

Oh NPR, the candidates appear on podcasts.

Yes, okay. Vice President

and candidate Kamala Harris have been stepping up media appearances lately. She's been getting criticism that she's not spending enough time in the public eye. Harris has done traditional shows like 60 minutes and also hitting the podcast circuit. Last week, she turned up on the podcast all the smoke, hosted by former NBA champ Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes as someone who's been the first in a lot of spaces you've been in, a woman of color knocking on the door to possibly be the next

John, how do you protect your mental space?

I really, I'm very mental space. Yes,

you protect your mental space.

You protect your mental health and your mental space. Well, number one rule, don't read the comments. Fantastic. If you have a specific slice Sarah people that you want to reach, there is a podcast for that. That's for sure. There's a lot of them, but when you and I are doing interviews, I mean, we have. Journalistic principles that we follow. So those podcasts follow any of that typically not. I mean, these are typically run by hosts who are

you personally. Oh, it's pretty much the same thing in the Atlantic, the same thing. Oh, there's no there's no journalistic integrity. They don't have producers and people looking for stuff and digging through and there's no critical questions. What a crock. Totally and I am, I will say

that, by the way, I there's a lot of podcasts that have journalists involved with them. Yeah, I would say this is one of them, but I don't like to brag about that, but the whole New York Times podcast is just journal is yakking about stuff, yes,

but of course, you know the really successful ones where the money is, which we're not making with our integrity and our journal and our J school diplomas like Joe Rogan. And I have to say, I find it peculiar that neither candidate has been on Rogan I know why Trump, at least, I think I know why Trump hasn't been on is because at least a while ago it was, you know, Hey, you want to be on my show, you got to come to my

go on that show in a million years. If she did, she I think those bookers that booked her on the call her daddy show or idiots. I think they're smart enough to not put her on Rogan, I have to. I'd be stunned if she ever showed up on Rogan. I can

predict, though, in the future election, we won't make it to the next one because we only have four more years. But in four

more years in future, but the four more years could be perpetual. Oh,

okay, Dream on. So in four more years, I can see where an actual debate would take place in a very in a podcast, just two candidates sitting down, arguing, yelling, getting into it, getting into it,

more likely that a lazy podcaster would let them go For because you sit back. I mean, if you do enough radio or any of these free content, yeah, free content, you back off and you just let them go for it, yelling at each other, because, you know people are going to tune in, and

you don't need a moderator. There's no moderator

just having me yell at each other. Yes, I would pack them in. Just

toss a question up. All right, let's border crisis go. That's all he needs to do. In fact, I'm happy to facilitate that. So let me play two podcast clips from an NPR podcast. So this is kind of meta where the NPR politics podcast is talking about Kamala on the call her daddy podcast. It's meta, and

today on the show, A Look at VICE PRESIDENT Harris's media strategy Harris is doing. Why

do they not get the good mics in the good studio for NPR podcasts? What is this sound? I

think this is just the bad sound that I'm getting all the time, but you came through crummy.

This is them. This is just how it sounds. It's bad. And

today on the show, A Look has better mics. Thank you. Harris's

media strategy, Harris is doing a whirlwind of three interviews today, which was the impetus for our podcast. You know, since she has become the Democratic nominee, she's done a mix of mainstream broadcast television interviews places like CNN and CBS, is 60 minutes. And then she's also done untraditional interviews with podcasts to engage with folks who might not be traditional news consumers.

See that they are so irked, they are beside themselves, because, you know, come is not going to go on the NPR politics podcast, which no one listens to, but other podcasters.

Aline, I want to start the conversation with you. What is the thinking behind the mix the combination of interviews Harris has been doing. This is a very interesting strategy, this new kind of realm of of podcasts. Going on social media. You know, that's kind of a clear hand out to younger voters. No

has nothing to do with younger voters. What picture the average Rogan listener is older than you think

to to kind of get them involved in the places that they consume information. And you know, regardless of where she's going, these are places with audiences of millions of people.

That's just a thought. Pastor, I think they're equating podcast listeners with tick tock listeners or viewers, because that is a younger demographic. I'm convinced of it. I'm

not even I'm not even sure of that the people I see addicted to tick tock are my age, I'm not so sure about that. Well,

okay, you got me there. It's possible I'm wrong. No, this,

this is just what you're hearing in their voices. Bigotry,

by the way,

is what they're angry. They're angry. They're angry because, oh well, they have the big audiences, because they're just influencers, because they're just no good. I mean, you're fighting, they're fighting a system that is that you always lose because, yes, they have big audiences, because they don't have a stick up their butt like you do with a crappy sound. You

know, regardless of where she's going, these are places with audiences of millions of people, and she's going on these podcasts that you know, are kind of more geared towards younger folks. She just went on on Sunday to Alex Cooper's show called call her daddy, which is a show mostly, I mean entertainment podcast. It's one of the top shows in the

This idea of, let's talk about, let's talk about, I've noticed this on a lot of these, these, this comes from Amy Goodman. This will tell us about, let's talk about, let's talk about this. We've never done that on this show, what

say you?

What say you? Well, that's even worse.

Yes,

she's done let's talk specifically about the call her daddy episode. You know, I felt like it was, in a lot of ways, it was like an infomercial for Harris. It was just an opportunity for her to talk at length. That's what she wanted. It almost to me, felt like the point of that interview was to do the interview, if that makes sense, like her being on the podcast just to say the words Kamala Harris is on call her daddy, like that in itself, is

Politics. Have another you want to hear more of this, these two dingbats.

I want to mention that if you listen to the beginning of the call for call for daddy, call call her daddy. Call for daddy, there's a call me your podcast. We're going to start with a call for daddy. Call for daddy. So

it's a faith based podcast, call for dad.

Alex goes starts it off with an unbelievable like, five minutes of apologia. I'm using that word instead of apology, but Apollo that she's doing this at all. Yes, she goes on and on and on about, wait, don't do politics

cross legged like crisscross applesauce on her oversized couch. Okay, all right, daddy verse, whatever she calls it, daddy verse,

daddy verse. I am convinced that she was forced into this by Spotify. Maybe, I think so, because she was so apology. Didn't want to do it. There doesn't fit into the for you blah, blah, blah. She went on and on and on, saying she's sorry for doing this, as you know. So I guess they let her get away with with that excuse. But the whole thing was off top. It was off. It was off. It was off. What do you call it? It's not off topic, but it's off. Sucks,

sucks. It sucks. Not relevant. That's

it sucks, not

relevant, not relevant. All right, so Well, that's enough of that, but let's stay with the same podcast, because they spent a lot of time talking about the new deets. The new deets on the case filed against Trump for January 6. Oh, no, there's new evidence. It's hard evidence he's going down. Oh, we've got something. We've got him now. So

we are in the middle of a presidential campaign, and we are still getting new details about Donald Trump's efforts to overturn the last presidential election, this time in the form of a filing from Special Counsel Jack Smith. Can you just explain what happened this week? Yeah, absolutely. There. There were new things to learn, even though, and of the January 6 committee on Capitol Hill and many others have been

So this is new evidence. Throw the book at him. Oh, but wait, there's more.

So a lot of new detail here. Additional new detail. The former president allegedly said to his daughter Ivanka and son in law Jared that the details about the election really didn't matter, and election fraud really didn't matter. You've just got to fight like hell. And so that is new evidence about what Trump said and did on key days, as well as his state of mind and about his state of mind

these people, I mean, I'm throwing them out of podcast index. I'm censoring them, I'm throwing them out.

Yeah, you could actually, technically, maybe,

no, technically, I could do it right now. I won't. They deserve it and so, and I know you have two, two clips on this, which I think will probably expand on this general overview, because not only do we have this damning evidence of Trump saying you've got to fight like hell and who cares? I mean, oh my god. I mean, we need to throw him in jail. No, no, but, but that nut job is back.

Donald Trump's relationship with Vladimir Putin has been scrutinized since his 2016 bid for President. The Republican leader has long embraced Putin, whose intelligence policies were found to have meddled in US elections. Now, a new book by veteran American journalist Bob Woodward reports further explosive details on the two men's interactions, first

of all, spook and second of all explosive details, the

Opus titled war cites and the Opus.

What? What is an opus?

What does that even mean? Like, you know, Ben Hur Yes,

the Opus titled war cites an unnamed Trump aide who says the pair had spoken as many as seven times since Trump left office. The aide also recalls one instance early this year where they were ordered out of Trump's office in Mar a Lago so he could take a call with the Russian president. However, the book also quotes a Trump campaign official who cast doubt

happened to America? Man, we used to love people who would do stuff like that. You just say, I remember Ronald Reagan, he was doing a speech and something like a gun sound went off, and he went, Oh, you missed me. I mean, these funny things and oh, now I remember. Now it's an outrage and so horrible. It's hilarious. We need,

we need more, dude, back back to this topic you just broached. I do have a three by three which covers it. Okay,

so I'm sorry. Here we go. Now it's time for three by three, yes, experiment by successful experiment, comparing stories from ABC, CBS and NBC, lot of people get real happy when they hear that. Music, oh yes, it's a three by music. It's happy. Music, yes, we have a three by three of this topic, this is interesting

now. We heard, yeah, I thought I was this again, Steve sent us in. So I will say the first clip, owner plays ABC. Now you heard the part where, I guess Trump sent over a piece of gear to to Putin,

yeah, like, like, one of the one of those free testing kits. You got four No, no.

He said, This gear you were talking about. What do you think that was

free testing? Kids, it would have to

be a PCR testing module. It has to be some sort of, you know, equipment, right? Well, you're

gonna spin it up, okay. Well, I

guess I mean, what else would it be? They're good. In this clip, Kamala Harris is brought into the convention moan, and she she makes it sound as if, because I think she thinks this, that what Trump did, and he listened between the lines, he didn't say, no, no, it wasn't some PCR gear. It was a bunch of kits. Yes, you're those three kids that you get four, four household, 100 of them.

Trump probably had amongst his 17 grandchild, and he probably had, you know, about 100 so he probably sent here Senator Vlad DHL.

But we have to, we're assuming it was a PCR gear. It wasn't a bunch of boxes of cheap tests that don't do anything. But let's listen to this. As the covid pandemic was raging and the government could not produce enough tests for the American people, then President Donald Trump secretly sent rare covid test machines to Russia to Vladimir's dictator's personal

scrambling to get these kits, the tests, the covid test kits, couldn't get them, couldn't get them, couldn't get them anywhere. Howard

Stern had 1000 of them, hypochondriac and

this guy who was president of the United States, is sending them to Russia, to a murderous dictator for his personal use, this person who wants to be president again, who secretly is helping out an adversary when the American people are dying by the hundreds every day and in need of relief, Trump also had some choice words for Woodward, calling him a storyteller who, quote, lost his marbles. Woodward, though, is

You know, we don't talk about this enough, but I gotta blow I gotta blow taps for Howard Stern. What happened to Howard Stern, the king of all media, The Man Who Would he was fighting the man fighting the FCC, fighting the government. What happened? What do they have on him? How did this? How did this happen that he became a photo. What's that in your mouth? Howard? Now it's, it is, it's sad. I, I used to love driving into New York from Jersey for years at the Lincoln

Well, you're not the only one that's mystified by this. No, it was very let's go with the second, the second of the three, three by three. So we go with, let's go to CBS

during the early days of the pandemic in 2020 then President Donald Trump sent Russian President Vladimir Putin covid 19 test machines. According to the new book War by Bob Woodward, Vice President Kamala Harris responded today during an interview with Howard Stern, everybody was scrambling to get these kits, the tests, the covid test kits, couldn't get them, couldn't get them, couldn't get

Now a couple of things about this, and the other one is that neither report mentions the fact that they talk about machines, covid, PCR, machines are here. They said it here in this report. No, they said it was machines. But they never make the point that she's talking about test kits, kits. Yeah, by the way, clear that this machines are not test kits. Yet they play her talking about test kits with no clarification

looking for an excerpt in war would this is from BBC in war. Woodward writes that while the former president was in office, Trump secretly sent Putin a bunch of Abbott point of care covid test machines for his personal use. So that is what was written in the book. So Harris is completely nuts when she's talking about the test kits. And have you noticed that Howard's voice is lighter like he's he does. He does. He talks a little more in the front of his mouth. He doesn't have that throaty

I didn't know this is but you would, yeah. All right, let's play the last of the three, which will be NBC

tonight in her ongoing media blitz. Vice President Harris telling ABC she wouldn't change anything President Biden did. Would you have done something differently than President Biden during the past four years. There is Donna thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been, I think

she lost the election on this. I think this was the this was the loser. When you say this, nothing comes to mind, yeah,

and there's plenty that just there was wide days. It was a softball that Sonny horses had to literally read from a sheet. Yes,

this was the, I think this is the election losing answer, right? There

is not a thing that comes to mind in terms of, and I've been a part of, most of the decisions that have had impact later, saying she would name a Republican to her cabinet, former President Trump slamming the response, calling it quote her dumbest answer so far, and Biden the worst president in history. Meanwhile, Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward writes in a new book that former President Trump secretly sent Russian President Putin covid tests for his personal use in

NBC did the worst job of it, because they didn't even indicate that it was a machine, no, which you easily noted. It took you all of two seconds to read from the from BBC document from

the book. Oh, gee, there's

like these guys even made it sound as though it was test kits. NBC did so they could that would would normalize what it would make it more sense. It would normalize what Harris said, Good point by by soft pedaling, what it really was good. This is the kind of NBC is going off the deep end. I blame Comcast. I blame does Brian L Roberts guy? The guy was the CEO. Somebody should call him out. Okay, well,

might as well be you, because no one else is listening. Call him out. This is another problem we can't do more than four more years. It's not going to be any media left to deconstruct. We'll just be talking about podcasts.

That's the way it's headed. Yeah, I. All

right, before we take a break, there was one interesting piece of news about Tina Peters Tina Peters day is her name. She was the she was overseeing the election in Mesa, Arizona, and she took issue with the voting machines. Now, when you hear this story, what she what she really got convicted for, is for allowing an unauthorized person to take a look at the machines. And there's a whole bunch of other

have consequences, and so does breaking the law in search of election rigging. Tina Peters sentenced today to nine years in her election tampering case. Colorado's best known election denier, the former Mesa County Clerk, was defiant till the end, arguing with the judge at sentencing and bringing in a parade of fellow election conspiracy theorists to defend her. Our Mark Salinger was in court in Grand Junction where Peters laughed at prosecutors, lectured the judge, then was led

okay, so you threw the book at her, because she after the election. By the way, after all the election was said and done, she lets in computer experts, now known as conspiracy theorists, to take a look at these machines, and then in the courtroom, the judge is making it sound like, Oh, if you're a danger, if you say things that aren't true. He was really making a big deal out of all, you lie, you lie. So we're throwing you in jail for nine years. This, this is something

this is worrisome. Yes, it's very worrisome. She was sincere? Yeah, yeah, it wasn't that she was and what did she lie about? What?

Well, because there was supposedly no proof, whatever. Therefore she lied. Therefore throw her in jail. But there. But the real charge is that she allowed unauthorized access to these voting machines. Yeah, after the fact, hey, I know, I know these are

these. Something's up with Arizona. Yes, they stay away. Wasn't really about her. This was about anyone else who thinks they're gonna

poke around. Yeah, don't do anything with with those

you're gonna poke around our area. Forget it. Arizona's notorious for this sort of thing, yeah, on both sides of the of the political spectrum. And

with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage. Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C in the covid testing machine sent to Putin Hey. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one only, Mr. Jones in the

morning, to you, Mr. McCurry, in the morning should see boots and graffiti the air subs in the water dais out there. Hello.

1991 today in the troll room.

It's good. The average should be 1800 Okay, so

we're doing welcome Thursday. 100 extra trolls. Hello, 100 extra trolls. Welcome. Good to have you here. They're at trollroom.io. No agenda. Dot stream if you want to listen. It's 24 hours a day. All kinds of groovy shows on that are a lot of more value for most of our value for there's no commercials. It's all value for value. We're just doing it

don't even if Florida, for example, broke off and fell into the ocean.

Well, if California broke off, I'd be calling for me. No, no, no, no. Unless

I get Starlink,

you better get one for that emergency pod moment.

So regardless of you have Starlink, you

should so regardless of when we start, you get alert, and then you click on it, boom, you're listening, it's perfect. And there's all kinds of extra bonus bits. You get transcripts, so you can search in the transcript, which is very handy. Like, yeah, what were the boys talking about? Yep, you go to the transcript search, boom, click. It plays right there. It's very it's very handy. In addition to that, you get things like our chapters, so you can skip around or skip forwards.

and LBC won't provide him with that stuff. Well, he

says it takes 11 weeks. It's got to be, you know, got to go through community, legal,

legal, it's got to go through legal. Always go through legal. And

meanwhile, if I said, Hey, give me a sound effect of X, Y or Z, it would be sent to me within five minutes. I'd have it

at habit. One, you're kidding. You get a dozen even,

yes, exactly, exactly. And that's because everyone is a producer of this show. No one's just a casual, haphazard listener. Know you're a producer, and is your responsibility when that topic comes up, that one thing that you're an expert in, you have to let us know about it, like the weather modification guy. I mean, that's it's amazing that we have these people in our in our listening audience, and we also have people in the national it's

actually kind of stunning. Well, it's a big

club, and you're in. If I

get to my science clips, there's a there's a couple of things in there where I'm gonna actually request, oh, good, some clarification from people that are experts. Good. We'll do

it right after, right after we're done, thanking our our value for value supporters. It's time, talent and treasure. And we start with the artwork that we chose for episode 1701, we titled that dork Maga. I was on one hand, shocked on the other hand, kind of mortified that I heard Kara Swisher calling Elon Musk. Dork Maga. Did we? Did she hear that from us? Or did we somehow just catch on to some kind. I

think we're in the same way. Oh no, we, we were on the same wavelength as Kara. That's

not good. That's kind of disappointing. But when

he said, when he said, dark, mega, the first thing, I thought it was Darth Magna, because I thought was funnier, Maga, and then dork use I think you said dork.

I said, dork Maga, yeah, dork Meg, I

wrote it down immediately. And so you and Kara are on the same wave.

This is bad thing. This

is bad. That's why you listen to her. I must repent you actually have a crush on her.

Oh yeah, that's it. Uh huh, yeah, that would be it. Right on. This was art which had a DNA strand. It was it was okay. We were happy with it. We felt the choices weren't all that. It was

a fallback piece. Let's

be honest. Tan Staffel tonstaffel, who I don't know if this is, is this someone's nickname or I don't know who is it? That's not tanta Neal, it's Tom Stoffel. I

don't let somebody new. It's not that. No, no, it's not new.

I think they've been around. Well, no, not

long. First art was submitted for episode 61 you're

right, you're right, but he's done

good work, he

or she, he or she, yes, a

lot of good. Evergreen pieces, yeah, and it must be a she, because if you look at the logo of the tons, so it's a girls, okay, well, then she was for four months. She

must be a Dutch Master.

I we

uncovered a new Dutch master. Now we didn't make it easy for everybody, because we said, hey, you can't do any Star Trek stuff. And I think a lot of people had Star Trek stuff in mind, because it was episode 1701, starship 1701 USS, Starship Enterprise. And I think they got bummed out, and a couple still did it. Of course. I think no one had ideas. You kind of liked the dog TV from Dame Kenny Ben.

I did like it, but it was simplistic looking. Because if the dogs are more dimensional, I think It'd have been better and you would have liked it. You hated it. But okay,

yeah, there you go. I hated it. So, yeah, so we didn't really have such a great selection. Nose, little ham radio, by the way, I just like to mention so many people I don't know about you. Are they probably not emailing you because they can't spell your last name, but they've been emailing me, hey, what radio should I get? About a ham radio? I

got a couple of those, but not too many. And

I would just like to suggest that everybody we've been doing this for over a decade. I think,

I think you're but wait, but your best line is, wait, get a license. Yes, radio, yeah,

that's about what I'm what I'm about to say, get a license, not just because you need to be licensed. And actually, in an emergency, anybody can use these things. You know, the license deal is not a big deal, but you go to arrl.org, you find out where they're testing. They do it once

it's

not the Italian guys, the span of security X, security X, the hams are all laughing now, trust me, now, yes,

it sounds like Mexican radio.

Just do that. You will not regret it. And it's, it's easy, and it'll cost you a total of 60 bucks to get it to radius. By the way, that's with the radio. You know, 60 bucks with the radio

box is high. Well, you looked at the prices recently. Well, they

got some really spiffy the bow thing, things, you know, they're about things for 60 bucks, yeah, but you want, okay, yeah, you can get a lot of gear and and even programming them is easy with some software, but just get into it. Spend a weekend, get into it. It's worth it. You will not regret it. You will not

regret it. And you got a handy license you can frame, yes,

yeah. You can frame your handy license, yeah, right next to your Commodore ship, next

to your Commodore ship, next to your PhD next year, your diploma from community college and the university. Whatever you got, I have my

Connecticut School of broadcasting diploma. Very proud of that

good they're very proud of that long since defunct, yes,

but I still have one. So thank you, tan Staffel. Tan Staffel, for the artwork. No agenda, Art generator.com. You can participate. It's open for anybody to participate. You don't have to be good. You can do whatever you want. And if you want to upload AI art, that's fine. I'm changing my tune. I want as much AI slop on social networks. I want the everything flooded on the internet with nonsense AI stuff to make it

is, I believe, the chicken that everyone talks about that's made at their chain of restaurants in Saudi Arabia.

Did you guys get that? Oh, did they say they got it? I don't know how they got that, but they got it in

Okay, so the recipe is available. You can copy it. Oh, I

don't think they made it. I think they flew it. It's

You can use them anywhere. Credits are recognized, that includes imdb.com thank you again for producing episode 17.

Oh, my formula is this. We go out. We hit people in the mouth, shut up. Slay All

right, you had something you wanted to play. Yeah,

I want to do these clips. This is a an example. These are a total of six clips. Oh, and it's they're different, though they're not just like one topic called Divi depth. This is about the kind of dingbats that you have doing reporting nowadays, and this is specific to NPR. Oh, well,

like we haven't been paying attention to them today. We've been giving them a lot of errors.

It's, yes, it's like NPR kind of a focus to let's focus on crap. Be reporting. Let's start with this one. This is the first this dingbat report NPR on the this is about the Honda. Honda's had a big recall. And then we get to listen to, I don't know, this girl sounds like she's in the 11th grade, maybe telling us all about the problem with the steering mechanism on a Honda car.

Honda is recalling more than 1.7 million vehicles because of a defect in the steering mechanism. Federal regulators say the issue could increase the risk for crash and Paris Camila domino ski has details. The recall includes the Acura Integra Honda CRV and the Civic family all from model year 2022, or newer, Honda thinks about 1% of

Wow, how condescending is that.

So why do we even have a reporter reporting on something that you can just read? The newsreader could have read that, but they do this a lot. I was looking at. In fact, I went and looked it up on the NPR personnel. They have hundreds and hundreds of people working there that just for this purpose alone. That brings me to the second group of clips. This is the Sandia. It's about Sandia Labs, which she pronounces Sandia.

I don't know why. What is Sandy sand Sandia Labs is

down in the Albuquerque area, and it's a should again. She might maybe send Diaz the way it's pronounced now, but this is a, this is one of those examples we've talked about it before in the show where you have a situation where you use the term spokesperson instead of representative, because you want to make it clear that you're using non, you know, language a certain way. I believe NPR uses, uh, brings on presenters that are dei hires

for their score, their ESG score, for

their score and and for bragging rights. And they do it by they you could bring in somebody who's who can do presentation well, and they'd be a dei hire, but if you're listening on the right, you wouldn't notice it. So that's no good. So let's bring on a woman that's got so much she's just a lousy presenter. Can't she screeches when she talks. She's got see. I don't know if she's black or Mexican or I don't. I can't tell, but she's got a ghetto sound to her that that

worry that an asteroid will slam into Earth and in all life on this planet, perhaps scenes from movies like Armageddon keep you up at night. We may have something to make your sleep a little better. Scientists may have discovered a way to knock an incoming asteroid off course. And for anyone who ever wondered, why don't we just throw a bunch of nuclear missiles at it? Well, you're kind of right. So it's a little bit different concept, but we think it may even be more effective.

All right, here's how the meeting went. Hey guys, I think we really we've had some issues with with a younger audience listening to NPR. We need to hip it up a little bit. I want some sound effects. I want, you know, a young, young voices, multicultural voices, and let's just be a little bit looser with the scripts. Yeah, that'll do it.

Do you that would be the meeting? Sorry. Well, I'm sorry that would be the meeting now. I now the problem is reporting here is, which brings me to the last couple of clips coming up. Didn't

we always do this? By the way, do we already? Didn't already throw, like, crash something into a asteroid? Well,

yeah, but that was the landed to steal something from it, I meant this difference. And the thing is, is that they're going to tell us something that it makes no sense and it's never explained. And this is what, what the galling part is, besides her voice, here we go.

The Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, they have discovered you just need to set off a nuclear explosion near an asteroid, and the burst of X rays will send it safely off target. The idea has been around for decades, but the only way to test it is with the nuclear weapon, and those are difficult to come by, so we invented a laboratory experiment where we could test this idea. Him to generate an

my goodness, I'm surprised he didn't say Axelrod.

The worst part about this report is not even her. It's how do X rays, which have, no matter push anything I would. I'm sure that maybe it does. They do, but I don't know how it does. I mean, when I have an x ray, I'm not thrown back against the table. It's like so there's no explanation for how this X ray also

rude. Bruce Willis is, is a vegetable. It's rude. Is, and

then the Bruce Willis reference is like with Bon

Jovi music,

that's rude.

I agree. This is peace NPR, right here. It's over. That's it's enjoy. Finally,

it exemplifies the crap that they produce. And it's also not explanatory. It used to be educational. You should learn something, you learn nothing. So here we go to this second group. Now this is all the same. This is about more science led pipes. And I want to this is about this has got so much lack of information. There's no real reporting. It's

didn't you? Used to be a lead pipe inspector, no.

Oh, okay, and so I would say that there is lead pipes inch. There's just information in here that is not explained.

Let's go. There are some 9 million homes across the US getting water through lead pipes, and now the Environmental Protection Agency says those pipes need to come out. The science has been clear for decades. There is no safe level of lead in our drinking water. That's EPA Administrator Michael Regan. He says lead is harmful, especially to children. And VRS ping Huang has been following the story, and she joins us now, hi, ping. Okay, so I gotta admit, I was kind of surprised

What did she say at the end

happen. I don't know what she said, and they're just filling air time

to play the little end part again and tell me what she said, word by word. Crisis in

Michigan. And there, there was a change in the water chemistry. There, there

was a change in the water chemistry. Wait, wait, wait, I'm listening to

each high amounts of lead into the drinking water. That's the tiny legs into the drinking water. Some cities and states have actually already been swapping out those lead pipes for copper. Okay,

that last bit I could not decode. Let me listen again. And

some cities and states have actually already been swapping out those lead pipes for copper.

Well, some states have been a lot the selected lapping hopper.

I could I listen to this 10 times that I couldn't figure out what she said, the

leech and lop and slopping hopper. Let me just slapping swapping out the swapping out the lead for copper. How about that?

And since then, some cities and states have actually already been swapping out those lead pipes. Hopper, they've been

slopping out the slopping out the headphones for copper. She said, Hopper, yeah, how can we? We don't get gigs like this. This is a great gig. I wanted to slop and Hopper, okay,

so let's right away. We introduced it turns out, besides that last bit, which is, I had to stop it there, because it's like, what did, I still don't know what she said, lappa, Hopper, slop and hopper. So we got, let everybody's got lead pipes show title, slop and Hopper, slop and hopper. So everyone's got, there's lead pipes are everywhere. But in Flint, Michigan, it caused a problem, and everyone got poisoned, and they made a big fuss about it,

slop and hopper. So

what? What do? We didn't distant. Tell me anything. All I know is, if there's lead pipes everywhere, and they've been here forever and and I also know that elemental lead, elemental lead, is not toxic. Even lick lead, it's not going to do anything. It's the lead salts.

Ah, are you getting all that? Are talks getting all chemistry on me now,

but they never talk about any of that. Let's go with clip to a word they where they still tell us nothing,

right? It was clear, even back then that it wasn't just a problem in Flint. Are there parts of the country that are more likely to rely on lead pipes? Yeah, places with homes that were built before 1986 that's the year that Congress banned lead pipes, but the ones that were already in the ground were allowed to stay there until now. So there are lead pipes in every state, but some have more than others. Those include Illinois, Florida, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New

Okay, so a couple things I learned here. One, no wonder Chicago is retarded is because they're all drinking lead. And the other thing I got from net Ned, he says Detroit water was used until Detroit kicked them off for not paying their bill, and Flint switched to a mothballed water treatment plant from the Flint River that was really polluted, just as an aside, and we do better than NPR.

Well, another thing the question that comes to mind when I heard that clip was, why did Chicago demand the lead pipes in the first place

so that the Democrats could keep winning elections.

Well, that's an interesting theory, but it's like that. Why don't they tell us anything? They there's, this is a fact free Science Report. They're, they're telling us nothing, no. And, for example, what is going on that causes the let and even with the Flint, Michigan thing. I still don't know what the chemistry is. Now I have some ideas. It's possible that, for example, you can get lead chloride. If you chlorinate the water and run it through lead pipes, you might get some,

pipe. How come I didn't call you for this Science Report. Could

have called anybody

Shut up already.

Science, yeah, science, be quiet.

So they continue with the non factual reporting with the next clip. In touch

with Brenda Santoyo, and she's a water justice advocate in Chicago, water

justice advocate. Nah.

Wow. Hey, water justice, that

should be our next promotion. We can give out water justice advocate diplomas.

Okay,

yeah, what? I have a, W, J, a in Detroit. It's

definitely progress. I think that, like the city, the state, should take, like their own measures to try to speed up that process as much as it can. We also don't want our water systems to be set up for failure, for them to take shortcuts. Yeah. She says that the timeline seems reasonable, so long as families are able to protect themselves in the meantime. Yeah. I mean, even 10 more years seems like a long time to be drinking water that might have lead in it. So what can families do to

very close to banning NPR science reports on this show. I'm very, very, very close to it. This is bad. This is very bad.

You have to remember that NPR our national treasure, and all these, these public radio station began as educational stations where the where you should learn something, you learn nothing from these people. There's no explanation for anything. It's just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Lead is bad.

Yeah, that we could have summed up that whole report with what you just said there. Blah blah blah. Lead is bad, blah blah blah, all right, thank you for this science moment. You're welcome. I would like to move to Israel and Iran and what's happening. I have a couple of clips, and I have some analysis that I would like to share with the group. We start first with Biden and Netanyahu. Finally speaking,

President Biden today spoke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The White House called their conversation direct and productive. However, one of the big questions that remains is, how will Israel respond to the Iranian missile attack, and when Israel's defense minister warns

I ask you, in the world of cyclical happenings, wouldn't a second Yom Kippur war be perfect? Oh, just in the just in the cyclical nature of things, and I'll come back,

interesting idea. Just even think

of that. Just a thought. Now we go to NPR, and let's just get a little update, short one from from NPR. There's

a lot of speculation over whether Israel will respond and what would be its targets. Iranian foreign minister Abbas energy, in this video by AP news, warned Israel not to test his country's resolve by launching an attack, saying Iran. His response would be more powerful than last week's ballistic missile attack. That was in response to Israel's killing of top Hezbollah and

Okay, so bear that in mind, and he's also going to be roaming around talking to people now we go to our retired generals, and the first one coming right out of retirement, known for his seven count, the famous Wes Clark seven is, in fact, General Wesley Clark, and he's going to lay it all out for us.

Do you believe Bibi Netanyahu will pull the trigger on Iran? I certainly do, and I believe he should all the tragedy and Hamas, all that's going on with Hezbollah is traceable to the source, and that's Iran. And so this is the moment, and this is the situation in which Israel has to strike and strike hard at Iran.

Guys. Hey, it's number seven on the list. We got this the final one. We got to complete my West Clark seven. What

do you make of the move by Emmanuel Macron to withhold weapons. Well, I think he's responding probably to domestic pressure in France, but it's a certainly misguided effort. If he wants to make a difference, he should endeavor to have religious leaders in France call together common a bring common aid in Jerusalem, have the pope there tell common aid to renounce his claims, his efforts to destroy Israel and kill all its people.

I love. I love this. First of all, I like they. Says common a, common a, instead of Khomeini, he says common A. So his idea is, get the Pope, bring the pope over, have common A and the Pope, we got to do a photo op, common A, and we'll all shake hands like a big Camp David though in Israel, and Khamenei and the Pope. And what it'll be good if you

go to the source, that's the way you deal with this. And Iran is the source, and Khamenei is the key person. One more question for you. There have been some who say that if Israel were to strike, particularly Iran's oil, that this would spark world war three. Give us your perspective, considering all the years you have as an experienced commander

in ruining other countries in NATO,

well, I don't think their strike on their oil is going to spark world war three. I don't think World War Three is in the offing right now, but I do say this Iran is on the verge of having nuclear weapons. Maybe it has them. Now. It has those. Everything's different. This regime in the in Iran, it has to go now. I can change its tune. If it says okay to live with its neighbors, fine if it continues to insist that its whole effort is directed at the destruction of a neighboring state in the

that sounds to me like regime change is what he's saying here. We just have to change those guys. Everything else is fine. It's not going to start world war three. No proving once again, we have the best producers in the universe. One of our producers was at an investor dinner. And I This must have been pretty high end, because they brought in as a dinner speaker, General Milley. And our producer gave me a big Mike, Big Mike, General Mike,

the other big Mike, the

other big Mike, gave me a little rundown of what he said. Took notes, and I think it's it's worth sharing. History

I like that one.

All wars politics administered through organized violence, need an alternative path to sell it to the Palestinians continued collateral damage, civilian deaths makes it harder. It may require an Arab peace enforcement troops, maybe from Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. Notice, we have Netanyahu going on a little tour Iran. Israel will hit Iran, but they'll probably wait until after the High Holy Days conclude next week, probably a mix of military, economic and symbolic targets. He said, Maybe I'm

it's always a couple weeks away. Well,

that's just for the goo. It'll take much longer to package it into a missile? Yeah, they

keep changing the target supremely. I'm I'm going with our thesis that this whole thing is a sham. I'm and the fact that they've been talking about the nuke, the nuke being a week away, a week away, a couple weeks away, four years, next month, for a decade, years, decade. Is it possible that at some point years ago they figured out they can't do this? Maybe none of it works, and maybe none of it works. And so they're going to say, well, let's, let's change our

that even happen? How does that even happen? Anyway, he goes on to about the future of warfare, which I think is the final interesting point, the nature of war doesn't change through history, but character of war does, tactics and technology. Example, gun range increased from 70 yards to 400 yards between American Revolution and the Civil War.

said, quantum computing? Yes. Know what it is, we'll

have terrifying capabilities. This way goes off the rails, yeah? So we don't need to invite General Milley for our after dinner conversation.

He's like, he does have a historic he likes to do his historic stuff, yeah, doing historic stuff. And. Analyzing it is hindsight doing foresight. He's got nothing he can't rope into the future robot AI and quantum computing. Now,

chum, I tell you, if you really want to know what is happening in the future of warfare, we must look to the NATO. And the NATO, as you know, is now run by our former prime minister from the Netherlands, Mark.

It's crucial for Ukraine to prevail, and we have to afford that. Putin has his way with and in Ukraine, because there's not only a problem for Ukraine, there's also a threat to all of us here in the UK,

everybody, everybody is threatened, huh?

I bought your accent, yes, because I listened to this. I think you, you've got It's fabulous. I wish I could do it, but there's a couple of things you might want to do. Okay? One, they go a lot more than you do. Yes, okay. And the other thing is, he changes his Ruta, he changes his cadence, he talks at a certain speed, then he speeds up, and then he slows down, and that little element you have yet to Cat capture.

Oh, okay, I will

just do it.

Very good in the future of us,

here in the UK, all over NATO, including Canada and the US. If Russia would be successful in Ukraine, it would be a security threat to all of us. So we have to massively, massively learn how to speak Russian. Continue what we are doing first, and that is to put military aid into Ukraine. Yes, some aid to make sure that we have enough training ready for the soldiers, the brave soldiers from Ukraine. And

we must have some training ready for the soldiers, brave soldiers, brave very brave soldiers.

The brave people were working there to the dead people. You mean counter the Russian Russian onslaught. At the same time, we have to implement what we agreed in Washington during the summit. But particularly, this is the command we are now setting up in Germany.

Oh, command, oh, Germany is going to take all the hits. Great.

Basically, coordinate all the activities. Oh yes, NATO.

Oh yes. Let Putin go get mad at the Germans allies

and others to make sure that this aid gets into Ukraine. And of course, the so called 40 billion euro plus so

called that is not so called. It is heal, and we stole it from the Russians,

where we decided collectively to make sure that the money is available long term. And this is, of course, at least for the first year, but then also longer term, we have to find that money. Yes, and we have to work on the bilateral security agreements, as they are now being negotiated between Ukraine and various allies. He's

negotiating between Ukraine and various allies. There's no letting up. We're going to continue, continue to how about the long range weapons? But would

you support Ukraine being given access to longer range missiles to be able to fire those deeper into Russia? Militarily, we've heard from former senior commanders in Europe saying that Ukraine's allies need to be firmer that dither and delay, as one of them put it, is not in Ukraine's interest. So would you personally support the use by Ukraine of longer range missiles to fire deeper into Russia?

Well, let me say this about that.

Let me be very specific. First of all, Ukraine is allowed illegally to strike targets in Russia. When who makes

up these laws

illegally? Leaders, what

Yes, is there some who edict? Was there some is law passed?

Is there some kind of war? Law is Geneva? First

of all, Ukraine is allowed illegally, legally, legally, talking about I mark

Rita have said it is legal. You can go ahead

illegally to strike targets in Russia when these targets pose a threat to Ukraine. So legally, this is possible. Legally

go to court over this. What are they talking about? Yes, hello, Vladimir. Just send the police in.

And my second element of my house will be that it is not one weapon system which will change the outcome of this conflict. No,

we need many weapons spend the money. And

then, of course, it is up to the individual allies to decide when they deliver weapon systems into Ukraine, how they can be used, what kinds of commitments they give in terms of for Ukraine, where is he going to get specific like he promised to use the systems? This is not up to the alliance as a whole. This is up to the individual.

All ally members. Okay, one last clip from Margarita about Ukraine becoming a NATO member. We

saw recently the Slovak prime minister saying that as long as he's in power, he will block Ukrainian membership. What are you going to do to try to build consensus on that? Well, clearly, what we decided in Washington unanimously is that there is an irreversible path towards membership of NATO for Ukraine, irreversible.

And then, of course, yes, irreversible. Once they start, they cannot go back. We keep them going on the track

towards membership of NATO for Ukraine. And then, of course, the question is, how to take this to the next the next steps and the next stage, and it really has to be done step by step. And that's something, of course, amongst allies we will discuss over the coming month, including up to the Summit in the Hague and beyond. Because this is a very sensitive issue. It is an important issue, yes, but I said last week in Kyiv and I visited Volodymyr Zelensky and his team. Yes,

with his team, we had a nice team. I said, a drink with his team. I visited Volodymyr Zelensky. Is

that one thing has to be absolutely clear, one thing that Russia does not have a vote on this, and that Russia does not have a veto on this? No, that would not be legal. Every country in the area of NATO can apply for membership, and that is a sovereign decision for that inevitable country.

What a sales guy, and he comes across so confidently. I'm Margarita. I want to make it all happen. I'm gonna get that Vladimir,

me and my boys, irreversible. It's not

it's it's legal. Come on, man, pull the trigger. It's legal. Do it? Do it. Volodymyr, if anyone's gonna start world war three, it's that guy. Yes, that guy is no good, and we know he's no good. The Dutch know he's no good. We know it

well. He's no good, he's no good,

he's no good. So this came in, which I have let me see. I think I have a longer clip here. Let me play this a longer clip. This is about Google, Google and the Department of Justice. And this is interesting because I received a document today that I think pertains to it.

So it is getting harder and harder for markets to remain complacent. Shares fell by more than 2% yesterday, and as we've been mentioning, alphabet is the cheapest Magnificent Seven stock by forward PE multiple. So yes, cases, they can take years, even

So this kind of just, I mean, yeah, the epic case has been going on for a while, and the judge may have some power to do some things, but Google's going to appeal everything, and they'll just keep this going forever. But it

going to go out this idea about the about the Google Store, yeah, what about the Apple Store? Talk about your walled garden?

Well, Apple doesn't have a huge consumer search business.

Search thing that that is different then, yeah. And if the search is skewed, and they wanted to remain skewed, and they've got guests, they're getting so much flack about it that they're maybe they're, the skew is not as bad as it should be. It's got to be more skewed. Yeah. I mean, this is the same as the reports. I have a bunch of clips on this. The New York Times do it. Did I get these clips? New York Times? Yeah, yeah. This is kind of this talks about, unfortunately, this thing

Oh my god, you mean Jarvis and and Rose,

Jarvis and everybody. Every journalist that's on Mastodon is going on and on about we should be more proactive. Yes,

you're not, you're not doing it right. New the broken hashtag, broken New York Times,

yeah, and the people that are still on the dead bird,

hey, get with it, you old fogies podcast things where it's at. And

so even play a couple of these clips to see if you can get a All

right, just where's this from? This New York Times report. This

is a New York Times report that another NPR, fine,

really. Sorry. Okay, all right, here we go.

Social media influencers are a big part of this year's election. They Whoa. What happened to the podcasters? Social media influencers are a big part of this year's election, they translate the news for their followers, but the news they spread has to come from somewhere, often a news organization. So we're talking with a behind the scenes influencer, Joe Kahn, executive editor of the New York Times, in people's minds, there's very little neutral middle ground in

I just thought that was such a giveaway. Yeah, he's nodding. Yeah. I don't get it. I don't understand why the lefty, because they're always been our biggest fans. Yeah, I said we were, oh, that you said, Oh, I

know it's like 15 to 13. Now, I know, I know it's bad. I blame Tina.

It does help when you point it out. Yes. So let's just part two of this. If you've

heard about Project 2025, a conservative blueprint for a future Republican administration, one reason may be that the times covered it a lot last year. You know that's something that you want to cover deeply, fully, fairly, and provide people with some substance to analyze that. I'm thinking of one particular story that we could pluck out of the river of Times coverage. And I paraphrase here, but the story

How is that being fair to each side? And this guy never what is Harris's plan? If. It's never reported what his what her plan is, and this guy was doing the reporting from NPR is obviously a Trump hater, yeah, and it just comes through with this discussion. And I think part three maybe bring a little more light to it. Well,

I think what we've tried to do with respect to housing is housing's an absolutely major problem. And we basically took it to both campaigns and said, What would you do about this concretely? Not just talk about it rhetorically, but what are your plans? And Harris and the Harris campaign responded, and we looked at their proposals and what they would do to move the needle on that subject, and we asked the same thing of the Trump people, you're absolutely

what? How is that soft pedaling? Donald Trump, they criticized his whole plan, never mentioning what Harris's was, and this is somehow soft peddling

here. Jeff Jarvis posts a link to a New York Times opinion joy is working for Harris. But can it close the deal? Jeff Jarvis's post sigh, the media trope that voters need to learn more about Harris, well, then do your job and inform them That's your job.

Wow, yeah, you probably just read those kinds of posts on mastodon. They're not on Twitter, yeah, and I'll find them keep us entertained for days.

Hashtag. Brokenpost calls this, we are going to beat the reporters into retardation, pugnacity, ridiculous peace. Why might he lose women? He's a damn sexual predator. Say it is the Trump campaign's male dominated culture losing women vote. Oh, my God. And then he posts the Washington Post. What a pissy jealous piece of shit. This is from the hashtag brokenpost. Oh god. Jeff Jarvis, calm down. Take a CBD. It's grab a gum,

grab something. I mean, it's like, these are posted. These

are professionals.

It's journalism. They're not opinion. They don't do it. If they were just opinion writers, and this is an opinion that's fine, but that's not what they claim to be. The whole

thing is falling apart. That's the point. The whole mainstream media is falling apart. They can't stand that people get their news from Twitter. They can't stand that podcasts have millions of listeners, and people like call her daddy and Rogan make hundreds of millions of dollars. They're beside themselves with envy and anger, and they just take it out on anything they can. It's all Trump's fault? Well, of course, because he he told everybody the fake news is

What I the biggest kick I get out of this when he talked about it initially, back in 2015 he said, and he made a point, says, Well, you know? I said, Well, they're saying the news was the enemy of the people. And they said, No. I said, the fake news is the enemy of the people, right? It turns out that the original assertion was true. It's the news. It's not the it's all of them. They're the, literally, the

Go podcasting. I was

wondering what you're gonna come up with.

Do we need to play more of this? We need to

know the last thing is another, completely different topic, and it's just not important. All right.

Well, then let me, let me just play this one, because you won't, you won't read this on x. It will be suppressed. You heard it here

for months. American billionaire Elon Musk has been in the tug of war with the Brazilian courts, but he has proven to be out. Muscled X will once again be available in Brazil, as the Supreme Court on Tuesday, ordered the reinstatement of the social network throughout the country. X welcome the news. X

is proud to return to Brazil. We will continue to defend freedom of speech within the boundaries of the law everywhere we operate.

Supreme Court Judge Alexandra de Morice cited insufficient safeguards against disinformation when blocking x in August, a ruling that ex owner Elon Musk vowed to fight, but instead he capitulated. In addition to paying a fine of nearly 5 million euros, the social network has agreed to appoint a new legal representative in the country and delete accounts with links to the far right. One of the reasons for Musk's change of heart pressure from investors.

Oh, okay, I guess money does matter over free speech

free Well, it would for you too. It would for anybody's not dumb, no,

but I'm not going out there saying, Man, I'm never gonna do it. We gotta Screw you. Nugget, I preach speech. I mean, What? What? Oh, what'd you say? Investor, what? Starling, okay,

whatever you say goes all right. Of course he did. Of course he wasn't. It was a foregone conclusion he wasn't going to put up with his assets being seized. And he knows these South American countries, they love to nationalize stuff. Yes, that's nationalized. Starling, yeah,

I have one more story here, just a little update, because, speaking of Elon, when is he going to take over Boeing? Sticking

with corporate news talks to end the month long strike at Boeing have broken down and are not slated to resume at this time, Boeing seemed especially frustrated with the union representing roughly 33,000 striking machinists, a Boeing executive told employees in a note. Quote, unfortunately, the Union did not seriously consider our proposals. As a result, Boeing has ripped up an offer it called its quote best and final that would have boosted pay by 30%

This is bad. They have effectively, negotiations are just done. They I was their last and final offer. If you remember, this is bad? Yeah, it's bad for workers. It's bad for our aero Defense, Space industry, yeah, yeah, so, but I don't know how we're gonna make all those

flying unlucky jets again and

and these, uh, boa and this is not really discussed. Is this only the aircraft division, or is this all of Boeing? Does this include the the bomb guys and the F 35 guy? What'd be everybody? Yeah. I mean, how are we gonna get

to a billion a month that affects all the divisions, how

are we going to get Margarita all of his his weapons?

Yeah, well, there, there you go. That's the main concern.

Yes, I think Elon should expand his military contracting empire.

I think he launched to take over bowling. Yeah, he

can pretend he invented that it's no problem.

Oh, I'm gonna show my saloon by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun. We

want to thank the rest of our producers who sent in some treasure for us to enjoy, and we appreciate any amount anybody sends at any time. You can make that up yourself. There's no obligation.

I'm not drink that was just me doing nothing. You just I want to mention, as you go on and on, that we did not again, get any donations from Elon Musk. No, no. Really ever get him.

I wonder why. I wonder why. Hey, you can you can, you can you can post it on X for free. All right, John, take us through the 50s. Yeah,

okay, let's start with I have two, but they're gems. One is sexy.

How can those two be so sexy? Oh,

wow, already a winner in my book.

And then this is one of the podcast ones

that is the best podcast ever. Oh,

I don't know which one to choose. Ah,

how can those two be so sexy? I like that. That is the best podcast ever.

I think it's got to be the best podcast ever. What

do you think?

Yes, muddier though, but it is more appropriate. It's

funny, it's funny, it's good, it's good. What does the troll room say? They're both too long. Okay, trolls, thank you.

Hey everybody. It's

time for that moment at the end of the show, John's Tip of the Day.

And sometimes,

okay, so I have to, I'm gonna do two couple things today.

Oh, you're going crazy.

First one is, we had to do a quick search on something, right? But

you got to stay on the mic, because you, whenever you like, I'm on

the mic. If I wasn't on the mic, I don't know what I mean, near the mic, it was I'm right on top of it, off Mike. If I was any closer to the mic, to be behind me. Okay, well, try that. First of all, I want to kill the recommend a previous tip. You're killing a tip.

Killing a tip. Does it have to be removed from Tip of the day.net?

Now you can leave it there, but I think it has to have a disclaimer. It's the AliExpress.

AliExpress is is no good.

But that brings us to today's tip, AliExpress is no good because I purposely bought two flash drives, some drives, USB drives, whatever you want to call them advertising, whatever you want to call them from AliExpress,

I call them threat vectors

that I knew were phonies, because you don't buy a terabyte USB drive for three bucks. They just just no such thing.

Wow, there was no shipping and handling, so you pay it came to your door for three bucks. So $6 total. You got two terabyte thumb drives, and what did you were they Pesta spend? What were they? They were

used to they, if you put them through a system, which is what I'm going to recommend, is the tip of the day, there are products out there. And the one I'm going to recommend is a thing called Check flash, which is written by Ukrainian. And I think the current version out is 1.1 1.1 7.0, and it was written by Ukrainian, and it you've sticked to when you buy the drive. You had to do this at the beginning, because it erases everything. It will check to see if your

you gained a lot of malware since you stuck that thing into your machine.

No, there's nothing on there. Well, for one thing, I didn't stick it in the machine because I ran check flash immediately. Which

a Ukrainian piece of software? You're this is good

stuff. This Ukrainian guy is a, is a geneticist who just happened to dream this piece of software up this software i i check it through this. The other thing, so check Flash is the product I like. It was written for Windows eight. Still works fine, but no, there are products out there, and I get people can identify the best of them, but they're all over the place. The things that check the download so you can see if there's any malware attached to it. Now, I got this

what is the tip? The tip is,

when you buy a new flash drive, a thumb drive, a USB drive, check it before you use it to make sure it's legit.

All right? And that's what is that software called, again.

Check flash, okay.

All right. And what do you use these drives for? Do you hand them out to the kids who come up to the door? Hey, kids, one one wants some files. I use

them for a lot of different things. For example, if you want to take some old DVDs and turn them into MP fours and you put them on the drive to give them to one of the kids. Yeah, see the easiest way to do it.

Hey, kids want to want some DVDs. Want some movies.

No one has a movie player. They don't play TV like

you. No, I

don't know. There's no such thing as a DVD

I don't have DVD DVD drives anymore.

John, these thumb drives for this stuff.

We do. Will you send me a thumb drive with some movies?

Yeah. What

movie you want? You know, the good ones

I those movies are that's something between you and Tina, this has been your

tip of the day. Thanks for listening. Y'all come back now. There

you go. Everybody, a retracted tip and a brand new tip.

Check flash,

find them at Tip of the day.net. No agenda. Fun.com. There you go. Hey, coming up next on the stream. Let me see what we have we've got. Oh, interesting. Bandrew says is on the stream. He's a comic strip bloggers buddy. This is the benefit of three minute shorts on YouTube using shotgun mics in untreated rooms. Yeah, he's a mic expert. Don't get me started

And I'm making a point, and I'm talking a little girl with me now I'm gonna go upstairs and don't knock on the door, because I'm gonna pass out pumping hyena, giving out the old Berkeley humma, distracting you for the next months into the summer, no agenda, season of reveal.
