I'll bet you that camel milk yogurt is good. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, February 16, 2025. This is your award-winning give-on-Asian -media assassination episode 1739. This is no agenda. Under the Golden Doom! And broadcasting live from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6 in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Simicon Valley where it turns out San Francisco is sinking. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning.
Oh, really now? You're telling me the mudflats are... The whole city's going down. Where did this come to light? It's all over the news. Look up, just go Google, San Francisco is sinking. And you'll find all these stories all of a sudden. Well, now if you look out the window, do you see any evidence of this? Whoa! Holy moly, look at that thing sink. It was not like a ship going down 0.4 inches a year. Parts of San Francisco, oh, not just San Francisco, and Los Angeles are sinking into the sea.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what people have been wanting forever. Oh, here it is. Okay, so meaning, there's a second part to the story, meaning sea level rise will be even worse. By the way, this story is, this is the way the story's been going. If something's sinking, it doesn't mean something else is going up. It doesn't. All the stories say, in fact, this was even in Epoch Times. San Francisco is sinking, so the sea level's going to rise somehow. Due to climate change. Yeah. There you go.
A study led by NASA and NOAA has found that California is sinking in some areas. It's only some areas. Well, San Francisco's one of them. I love to have the AI-generated art, you know, with the Golden Gate Bridge slowly sinking. But, I mean, seriously, what is it? Oh, it's 0.4 inches per year in sinking. Yeah. Are you in a sinking hot spot? I'm on a solid rock on the East Bay. It's not even close to sinking. Okay, well, I mean— That's why I can look and see the mudflats.
They haven't changed either. I'm just, I'm going to, I've stopped saying you should leave. You know, you're going to be— I'm in a solid zone here. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. You're going to be with a snorkel. If I lived in Massachusetts, I'd leave. You'd be doing the show with a snorkel. If you lived in Massachusetts, I've been to Massachusetts. You don't want to live there. That's what I said. And no offense, but, dude, a lot of rainbow flags in Massachusetts.
It's out of control. It is a bit out of control, yeah. So, I just wanted to give everybody a little overview of the mainstream media from the past week. It's 30 seconds. New warnings of a constitutional crisis just weeks into Trump's second term. And the stage is set for a constitutional crisis. Could this signal the start of a constitutional crisis? Legal experts say our country could be headed toward a constitutional crisis. They're calling this a constitutional crisis.
This is a constitutional crisis. I am unapologetic in suggesting we are in a constitutional crisis right now. Are we already in a constitutional crisis? Those two words, right? Constitutional crisis. So, when people hear us say about four more years and we just say we're basically in our final four years, I want you to understand this is the reason. This was today, 2025. This is 2020. Warnings of an impending constitutional crisis ripped through the nation's capital.
There are experts who are saying this is a constitutional crisis. We are at a dangerous time in our history. A constitutional crisis that probably is the most severe moment since the Civil War. This is 2019. We're now like one subway stop from a real constitutional crisis. We are in, in effect, a constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis. We're hearing it over and over again. Nancy Pelosi's already said that Donald Trump is unfit for office. She said that he belongs in prison.
She says that we're in a constitutional crisis. If that's not enough to begin an impeachment inquiry, then what on earth is? Here's 2018. A constitutional crisis, possibly. The constitutional crisis alarm bells are ringing. But is anybody listening? And 2017. Might be on the path to a constitutional crisis. We will ask two experts about whether or not this is a constitutional crisis. We've never faced quite the constitutional crisis that we do right now.
They are fomenting a constitutional crisis. Are we staring down the barrel of a constitutional crisis? This is an existential constitutional crisis. People, get a new script. We're bored already. These people. This is it. It's like, oh, okay. They can't seem to come up with any new. I mean, if they would just get to do a real job instead of just coming up with this. And this is the whole mainstream media. The whole thing is corrupted. Well, not just me. It's hopeless.
Not just mainstream media, but it's leaking through to podcasts. Yes, it does. Well, everything. Yes. Because some podcasts are nothing more than a wannabe extension of the mainstream media. I present you Jon Stewart in conversation with Jen Psaki. But the overwhelming majority has been. We are sleepwalking into a constitutional crisis. Again, taking the bait. By the way, I realize why Jon Stewart's podcast sucks so bad. And this is actually a funny bit without him actually knowing it.
Jon Stewart is great at delivering scripted lines. I mean, he does them so smooth. He's just perfect at it. He is a pro. He's an incredible pro. But when he just has to add lib, he can't do it. He doesn't. It doesn't come out right. It's all wrong. And listen to this. The larger thing and not defending the efficiency or value of the programs. I would take it just one step farther. And I worked at the State Department. I think USAID is a tremendous institution.
I don't think it should be a front and center top messaging argument. Should people in Congress defend and use every lever of their power to prevent the Trump administration from gutting it? Yes, because they play a pivotal role around the world, cracking down on corruption, defending a free press, a million things.
But I guess when it comes to how the Democrats are communicating with the public, the things that the Trump administration are doing that they should be talking about more, in my view, are getting access to people's personnel information, their social security data. Anybody who's applied for a government job, that's millions of people. Halting programs, which a judge this week said they haven't actually put back in place all of the funding halts, halting of the funding that they said they had.
Government's not popular, as you all know. Congress is not popular. Why would that be? I don't know. Institution's not popular. True. So if you're trying to reach people who are like, government, Washington, then talk about how this program that's being cut off is helping your kids have early childhood education. It's helping you get Medicaid access. It's helping you farmers have subsidies. Wait for it. But that seems obvious, Jen. Yes, it is. But they're not doing it.
I wish I knew the answer to that question. That is the most painful sigh I have ever heard. Self-realization all of a sudden. Because it's no good. Why is it so hard for them to just say, yeah, it's probably no good? They can't. They can't. And by the way, just not to change the subject, but my Clean Tech, Clean Feed, you're right, the fonts have all changed now. I got last on the list, I guess. It's kind of an odd font. It's a little more bold, don't you think? It's a Helvetica style font.
It's a European style. Yeah. They're from the UK. Yeah, I'd say the big news, the big news, the big, big, big, big, big, big news, everything's happening in Munich. It's all in Munich. Oh, yes, I have a whole series of Munich clips. Are they from NTD? I think they're, no, they're from PBS. Oh, well, good, because the NTD stuff is just a little harsh sometimes. Yeah, I got the four clips and then some anal clips.
Everyone has to understand that John titles his clips and he puts in there, Munich overview and then overview anal, which I think stands for analysis. Analysis, yeah. What else would it mean? Well, you could just put in analysis. It's kind of jarring. It's too long. I got to keep the, you know, because I've got to, the way that when I print it out, I have the time over one side. It's just the way your mind works. Everyone knows. Everyone agrees it's okay.
I'd like an overview because there's so much going on. What is happening? Are we going to war? Is NATO involved? I mean, what's happening? I think this is a pretty good overview. Today in Munich, Vice President J.D. Vance met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and with German political leaders, including the head of the far right AFD party. Oh, they forgot to say extreme right. Oh, boy. That latter meeting came after Vance spoke at the Munich security conference.
It's usually focused on Western adversaries. Vance instead critiqued America's European allies. Nick Schifrin is in Munich again for us tonight. In front of a mostly European audience anxious for reassurance, today Vice President Vance delivered a scolding. What I worry about is the threat from within. The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values. World leaders were hoping for clarity on the administration's plans for Ukraine.
Instead, Vance expressed implicit support for right-wing parties, including Germany's AFD, whose leader he met this afternoon and who's been endorsed by Elon Musk. That's kind of disingenuous. What he really said was, people don't like your immigration. It wasn't just sitting there endorsing. He also complained about free speech. Yes, but here the PBS is saying, he endorsed far right parties. No, I'm just saying, yeah, this is slanted. Of course it's slanted. Of course, of course.
Including Germany's AFD. Let's go back here. Instead, Vance expressed implicit support for right-wing parties, including Germany's AFD, whose leader he met this afternoon and who's been endorsed by Elon Musk. If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk. It's too bad he flubbed that line because it was a good one. Yeah, he knew it was good. This happens to me. It happens to you. Yes. Oh, all the time.
You know it's a good line. You know if you deliver it properly, it's going to come home. And then you blow it. You see this all the time. So he knew it was a good line. Yeah, and it fell so flat. He choked. Ah, no. If American democracy can survive 10 years of Greta Thunberg's scolding, you guys can survive a few months of Elon Musk.
By the way, just on Greta Thunberg, it's interesting how everyone's complaining about the teenage Doge team, but yet hundreds of billions of climate change dollars were all based on the 15 -year-old Greta Thunberg. Uneducated, who didn't even go to school because she was protesting all the time. Just saying.
What no democracy, American, German, or European, will survive is telling millions of voters that their thoughts and concerns, their aspirations, their pleas for relief, are invalid or unworthy of even being considered. Yeah, that's right. That is a very implicit endorsement of the far right. They're missing it because Europe is now saying extreme right. They've changed that narrative. Extreme. They're freaked. Right. Of course they're freaked. Rightly so. Onward, next.
Vance portrayed Europe as silencing critical and conservative voices, including by recently throwing out Romanian elections over Russian misinformation. If you're running in fear of your own voters, there is nothing America can do for you. But in a new Wall Street Journal interview, Vance embraced Europe's position on Ukraine, that the West could increase sanctions on Moscow and even deploy U.S. troops inside Ukraine to reach peace. Good afternoon, everybody.
And hours later, Vance met with Ukraine's delegation in a meeting that a senior Ukrainian official described to PBS NewsHour as, quote, very good. We want to achieve a durable, lasting peace, not the kind of peace that's going to have Eastern Europe in conflict just a couple years down the road. European leaders tell PBS NewsHour they're confused by what they consider mixed U.S. messages on Ukraine, including those repeated today by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth during a visit to Poland.
The reality that returning to 2014 borders as part of a negotiated settlement is unlikely. The reality of U.S. troops in Ukraine is unlikely. The reality of Ukraine membership in NATO as a part of a negotiated settlement, unlikely. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. I think this was careless, and I think it was a mistake.
In my view, it would have been much better to talk about Ukraine's possible NATO membership and possible territorial changes at the negotiating table first, and then with Ukraine present, and not with them already having Putin's price hanging over them. And European leaders continue to doubt that peace with Putin is possible. Peace with Putin is possible. President Putin says he's willing to meet. But on what terms? I had good conversation with President Trump.
We had some phone calls, and he had phone call with Putin, and he said to me, I think that he, Putin, that he wants to solve the war. I said to him that he's a liar. It's amazing. First of all, this Zelensky man, it's like he's got a different story every 10 minutes. And when did this NATO membership come back? Everyone knows that's a non-starter. I have no idea why they keep pushing it. That's the whole problem. It is the problem. Yeah, and Vance was very clear.
I mean, I'm sure you have the clip, Vance. Vance said it was more clear. Yeah, like, no, the solution does not lie with Ukraine having NATO membership. That's it. And that was the problem since 2014. The whole thing started with the expansion of NATO. That's it. And they're just, do you think that they're sniffing their own farts? They really believe that this is possible?
I have no idea what they're thinking, because they're not going to get, you know, unless they kick the United States out of NATO, we can just veto it. You know, the thing about NATO, you can't get in unless everybody says yes. Yeah, right, right. So you can say whatever you want. We're the boss of them. There was an alternative that, just to get off this track for just one second, there was an alternative clip of Zelensky. This is the talk Zelensky clip. Oh, yes, good.
I asked President Trump, Mr. President, why did you talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin before talking to me? That doesn't sound like AI at all. I'm so convinced. Talking to me, and President Trump said he wanted to talk to the tallest one first, and then the shortest. I was not happy about this. Then I told him that I want to create a European army, and then he asked me if it was an army of short little midgets like me, and I did not like that either.
All right, since you went down that track, I have to play a couple clips before we get back to the overview, because this is, I think, what it's really all about, and we should probably look at your anal clips based upon this. This is the true, the real Zelensky, or this 10-minute Zelensky about the European army. The Ukrainian president, though, characteristically blunt. Decades of the old relationship between Europe and America are ending.
From now on, things will be different, and Europe needs to adjust to that. I really believe that time has come. The armed forces of Europe must be created. The armed forces of Europe must be created. Now, we have talked about this since the beginning of the show. I was in Europe and then later in the UK when the Lisbon Treaty was signed. We all remember how that went. Ireland, you voted wrong. Do over. Vote again. And in the... And so I think Holland did the same thing, if I'm not mistaken.
They voted the wrong way first. Was it Holland or France? I think it was one of the two. It was mainly Ireland. Besides, the point is that these countries, if they didn't vote right... Yeah, then they re-voted. They kept making them do it over and over until they finally came... That's how democracy works. Do you not understand democracy? And there were three main promises for this Lisbon Treaty, which was the so-called constitution of the European Union. One was, no more passports. It's great.
Everybody can walk to the borders. You don't need to show your papers anymore. And if someone, you know, comes in illegally from another country, they can walk into your country too. It's great. That second part, they didn't actually promise, but it was implied. The second promise, you'll all have the same money. It's fantastic. No more Gilder. No more Deutschmark. No more francs. No, you'll have the euro. It's great. Overnight, 100% inflation.
Coffee went from two Gilders to, you know, to four Gilders in euros. And the third was, we'll never have... That was a good bit, by the way. But it's true. I know. In Italy, it really got hit hard. Oh, it got really bad. People couldn't afford their espresso in the morning. And the third promise was, we'll never have a European army. No, no, no. Well, there's actually, there was another one, which was, we'll never have European central finance. No, we'll never do that.
That's encroaching very quickly. And basically, the European central bank already makes it a fact. But we'll never have a European army. And I think that what is happening now, and I have a Redux clip from 2015. So that's 10 years ago. And we've been following this, and there are a couple other clips, but this is the best one. I think what is happening now is the military industrial complex, that's American weapons manufacturers in general. Germany has a little bit. Sweden makes some planes.
They're not unimportant. But really, you know, if you want things that go boom and that comes from us. Wow, sound effects on the show. Thank you. The NATO thing is kind of a non -starter because, you know, it's like these guys, they don't want to pay. You know, we've got our guy, definitely our guy, Mark Rutte over there saying, look, you must have 5%. Otherwise, if you do a European army, it will be 8% or possibly 10% or more.
When they heard that, which is, I think, a total setup, they're like, yeah, yeah, let's goad those guys into it. And this has been on deck with people who have been paid off by big military contractors for over a decade. This is Nigel Farage when he was still a member of European Parliament. And this is right after the 2014 coup that Victoria Nuland, John Brennan, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, all these suckers, they all orchestrated this.
And there was a big setup to ultimately either result in more money being spent by the EU into NATO armaments or just get them to start their own army. That's fine with us too, as long as we get more money. I've been wondering why David Cameron has been slashing our armed forces, won't commit to 2%. He's happy for us not to be able to defend our islands. I think Mr Juncker's given us the answer. We're going to do it at an EU level. We're going to have a European army.
Now, when I raised this last year with the Deputy Prime Minister, Liberal Democrat Nick Clegg, he said it was a dangerous fantasy to even talk about an EU army. I hope every Liberal Democrat voter has heard Mr Behofstadt today, the leader of the European Liberals, crying out for militarisation at an EU level. Of course, the truth is it's already happening. We already have a European defence agency. We already have EU battlegroups on active service all over the world.
We already have an EU navy active against the Somali pirates. And who can forget Eurocorps here in Strasbourg last year virtually goose-stepping that ghastly flag round the courtyard outside. And of course the Lisbon Treaty, Article 28, provides for all of this. Tony Blair was right. He said the European Union is not a project about peace, it's a project about power. And I think Mr Juncker is trying to seize on an opportunity.
We ourselves in the European Union provoked the conflict through our territorial expansionism in the Ukraine. We poked the Russian bear with a stick and unsurprisingly, Putin reacted. But this now is to be used as an opportunity to build a European army. And when? Then, you know, they get into a big fight. You know, for Hofstadts, interrupts. But Nigel Farage saw it. This is 10 years ago. This was the whole point. This was the whole setup. And then you had poor Mark Rutte.
Now I understand why they chose him. He was set up to fail. This guy, this wishy-washy former prime minister, never married, unclear about any relationships, used to be in Unilever's human resource department with the other ladies. You know, he's just a wishy-washy, smooshy guy with a funny accent I like to mimic. His whole job was to fail at getting them to pour more money into NATO. And now all he sees is people are complaining now. What is this now?
And here's what NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte had to say at the conference on Saturday about Europe's task now. To my European friends, I would say get into the debate, not by complaining that you might yes or not be at the table, but by coming up with concrete proposals, ideas. Ramp up the spending, make sure that the training and the weapons supplies continue, but also come up with concrete ideas what, for example, security guarantees could look like.
And I must say, since one day of complaining what I've now been seeing on the European side of NATO is indeed that people are now getting into the concrete planning phase of what could that be. Stop complaining, you're all complaining. Why are you complaining all the time? They're going to go for it. They're going to go for it. This guy was set up to fail. Hey Mark, go ahead boy, why don't you go try to up it from 2% to 5%. Good luck. They already knew it. This was the whole plan.
And now Trump is like, yeah, this is great. You know what, screw you guys. Why don't you go do something yourself. Take care of it. NATO is done, I think. I think it's over. Because it makes no sense to have a European and EU army and NATO. It's what we call duplication of efforts. Yeah, redundancy. Redundancy, yes. So let them come up with 3, 4, 500 billion euros a year. Hello Europe. It's going to be fun. I wish I could get my daughter out. This is Europe.
The fact that we've had this era of peace for 70 years or more. It's a fluke. If you know world history, it's a total fluke. There were things like the 100 years wars. Good times, I remember. And they're constantly attacking Russia for one reason or another. And Russia knows this and they're freaked out about it. That's why they're so adamant. They're not idiots. We're very cloistered in the United States when it comes to world history. So we think everything is the way it is today.
It's the way it always was. And to be fair, after World War II which the Russians really defeated the Nazis. Yeah, the Russians won the war. As usual, we came in, we stormed the beach. I mean, it's not to be discounted. No, not the Normandy thing. Eisenhower was a good guy. That was the real deal. We flew the flag and we liberated. We did liberate. We were like, hey, you're free. Not downplaying that at all. But the Russians, they lost millions of people because they're a military society.
This is what they do. And then we had the whole Bretton Woods thing and who jumped out? The Russians. They went, nah, we're not going to be your little son over here. We want to control Europe. And that is true. They have definitely wanted to control Europe. I think that dream may be gone by now and they just want to be a part of the system. But when the EU really drove this decision to kick Russia off of SWIFT, that's an act of war. They also got kicked out of the G8. Oh, that was a good one.
That was probably like, I hated those meetings anyway. Who cares about that? I don't want to go there. But optic-wise, it was not nice. Who's the aggressor? Who's the aggressor? And then the whole Nord Stream debacle. You want overview three? Overview, yeah. We're on three, I believe. Zelensky added today that Ukraine would need real security guarantees in order to make any ceasefire durable.
He said that the U.S. needed to be part of those security guarantees, but today a State Department spokesman said, quote, we expect European partners to take the lead in establishing a durable security framework and look forward to their proposals. So, Nick, tell us about the mood in the room during Vice President Vance's speech and also what you're hearing from attendees tonight.
Well, President Trump this afternoon called Vance's speech, quote, brilliant, but the speech landed like a lead balloon in the room because, again, Europeans have been dealing with mixed messages on Ukraine all week from the Trump administration, and they're hoping that the Trump administration treats them, treats Ukraine as partners in trying to pursue peace rather than going above Europe and Ukraine's head and speaking directly to Moscow.
That said, though, Amna, two senior European officials told me tonight that actually the speech was better than it could have been, that they preferred a scolding over a negative speech about Ukraine or even a speech in which the U.S. was announcing some kind of troop withdrawal from Europe. But it's not just Europeans who are worried about Ukraine's policy.
Apparently, today the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman, Roger Wicker, who's here today, called Hegseth's speech in Brussels a, quote, rookie mistake, the kind of thing Tucker Carlson could have written, and Carlson is a, quote, fool. That's what Wicker said. Wow. These reports bring in Elon Musk, Tucker Carlson. Who's next? Candace Owens? Are they going to talk about her on PBS? Now that you mention it, I'm sure that I was in the edit room writing, oh, we left her out. Damn it.
Easy target. And Megyn Kelly. And Bongino. Code Bongino. Throw it in there. What a misser, people. It wouldn't surprise me if we start to hear some talk of, well, maybe we should just close some of those bases in Germany. Trump talked about that in his first term. He did. He went on about, what are we doing with all these bases all over the place? It's costing us money. What's it doing? Some ill will is being derived from it.
Well, this is an interesting way to, so we have a $200 billion trade deficit with the EU, which, interestingly, I heard the numbers, the way it works with the EU, they have a $200 billion surplus from China and I mean, a deficit with China, a $200 billion surplus with the US, so they kind of stay the same. Whereas the US has a $300 billion deficit with China, so we have a $500 billion, at least $500 billion deficit between the EU and China. So we could change that by, all right, you know, good.
Buy the stuff from us then. Set up your own army. That would be at least $200 billion, maybe more. Well, when they set up their own army, they're going to buy our product for a while. They have to. I mean, everything's standardized on our stuff. For a while. Yeah, for a while, and then you can do what you have to do to get back to a normal economy. It's not just built on militarism. What's a European gun? What's the brand name of a European gun? Ruger? No. Ruger for sure. Czechoslovakian?
Yeah. There's probably a few. Let's go to clip four. Glock. Oh, Glock. That's a good point. Ukraine's defenders continue to say Russia is not serious about peace, and they have a case in point today that a Russian drone hit a radiation shield that protects the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Now, earlier today, I talked about all of this. Ukraine, as well as Vance's speech with Europe's top diplomat, Kayakos. That doesn't sound fishy at all. Yeah, I'm sure that was a... That's bogus.
Well, the radiation shield is literally the dome they put over... Yeah, and the drone falls on it. And that thing is pretty... It's built to last. The whole point of it was like, lock it down, close it up, so a drone drops into it? Okay. Radiation shield. All right. Sounds very scary. Radiation shield. We move to the analysis. Okay. Kayakos, thanks very much. Welcome back to the NewsHour. Appreciate it.
Last week, European officials came to Washington and were reassured, I'm told, by senior Trump administration officials about Ukraine. Earlier this week, you and other senior European officials met with Vice President Vance in Paris, and I'm told were reassured about the administration's focus on Ukraine. But this week, we also heard from the Defense Secretary, Pete Hexeth, questioning whether Ukraine could ever get back occupied territory, and essentially taking NATO off the table.
What's the impact of the mixed messages from the United States? No more parties. Well, the new administration is starting, and, of course, we are building up our relationship with the new administration as well. I mean, I've had good calls with Marco Rubio as well, who was also very issuing on Ukraine. So, of course, we have to figure out the messages, what is right. But this conference is a good place.
We have a lot of meetings with the representatives to understand what are the ideas really of the United States regarding Ukraine. But can Europe actually make plans for Ukraine? Can you and the United States work on a strategy for Ukraine when you're getting these mixed messages? Well, we have the strategy in place. I mean, for us, it's very clear. It is to put the pressure on Russia to really stop this war. When President Trump says that, I just want the killing to stop, it's easy.
If Putin would stop bombing Ukraine. This night, we heard that they were bombing the nuclear station. So, clearly Putin doesn't want peace. I like how Chernobyl has become the nuclear station. Isn't that thing completely defunct and down and shut? It's the nuclear station. This woman is the second to Ursula. She's the foreign secretary of the EU. She's just another blowhard, unelected DEI hire. Unelected spokes-hole. She says that, I just want the killing to stop. It's easy.
If Putin would stop bombing Ukraine. This night, we heard that they were bombing the nuclear station. So, clearly, Putin doesn't want peace. So, the pressure, the political, economical pressure should be on him so that he realizes that he can't win and realizes it's a mistake to be there. But President Trump also said this yesterday in the Oval Office. Yes, I do believe Putin wants peace. I trust him. What's your response to his statement? Well, maybe he doesn't know Putin as well as we do.
So, well, Putin is not really keeping his promises. If you think about we have had such quick fixes, deals like Minsk 1, Minsk 2. Oh! What? Putin broke Minsk 1 and 2? Is that what she's claiming? That's what she's claiming. Wow! Forget the Boris Johnson episode and the fact that the war would have been over if these agreements were put into play, and they weren't. Thanks to Zelensky, largely. Putin has specifically said, why don't we just hold to the Minsk Accord? And who is this lady?
Where is she from? Is she from Germany? She's from, originally, I'd have to look it up. Well, maybe. She's one of those. One of those places. She could be anywhere. But she's just a typical EU spokesperson or representative or a phony unelected official that runs the thing. The EU is just a mess. It's ridiculous. A technocrat. That's right. That's the word. She's a technocrat. Here we go. The previous diplomacy between Russia and the Ukraine.
The previous ceasefire agreements that were only necessary for Putin and Russia to get their act together more and attack in a bigger scale. So I think the history proves that. And that's why they only understand the language of strength. And we have to be really strong and firm that you can't win here. Because if the United States is worried about China, if we can't get Russia right, we can't get China right either. Because they are carefully watching how this goes.
One of the possibilities when it comes to a possible ceasefire in Ukraine, if we were to get to that, would be for European troops to deploy inside Ukraine. In your conversations with European leaders, are they willing to consider that even if, as Hekseth said this week, that the United States wouldn't protect them under Article 5? They're always like, this is a constant theme. Well, if you give in to Putin, everyone else is watching and, oh, now they're weak. Now we'll come and grab something.
It's a domino theory. Yes, exactly. We lived through the domino theory in the 60s and 70s, and that was bull crap. Which is the very reason why no one else wanted to go in the armed forces, because they all figured out we were fighting stupid wars in Vietnam and Korea. And then no one wanted to be a part of it until, oh, the 9-11s. Get the towel heads everybody, because that was real. Well, that was the spirit. It's like, hey, the towel heads did this. It turns out, maybe not.
Let's go into Iraq anyway. Who cares? Let's go in there. I think we're on 7. We have to understand that there's no peace. In order to have peacekeeping troops, you need to have peace. But again, Putin doesn't want peace, and that is a big problem that we need to address right now. And, of course, if there is peace, then we need to discuss what are the security guarantees.
Yesterday we heard the Defense Secretary of Ukraine saying that, you know, the U.S. gave us promises in the Budapest Memorandum. Give up your nuclear weapons, and we will defend you when Russia attacks. And where are you now? So, he was really very vocal in saying that, you know, you have not kept the promises you have gave us. So, right now, if we talk about security guarantees, then they really need to be credible.
What are the security guarantees that would really deter Russia from attacking again? She's the Secretary of the Interior? What is her title again? I think she's the Foreign Minister. Oh, Foreign Minister. I think. I had to go back. She's the henchwoman of the Queen, Queen Ursula. The joke in that, by the way, in that little commentary was the promise is not kept. We always have to remember that was James Baker. That's the real promise, yes.
And the promises that were made when the Soviet Union collapsed and it became Russia and the other countries all got independence, became independent, including Ukraine, from Russia, and then we promised that we weren't going to move NATO one inch eastward and ever since then, that's all we did. And that was a promise that Putin called us out on and didn't do anything about for a long time until this latest thing with Ukraine, and that was the end.
That was the straw that broke the camel's back, and it's his fault. Okay. You and von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, have both said publicly in the last couple of days that any kind of tariffs would essentially create conflict between the United States and Europe that is unnecessary. Do you think the United States imposing tariffs on Europe would prevent Europe from working with the United States on Ukraine?
No, we have different cooperation points, so it's clear that there are no winners in trade wars. The consumers are the biggest losers, because the prices rise due to this. So I hope that these things are settled between the United States and Europe, okay? If there is trade imbalance, then of course we can see what we can do about this, but starting a trade war, I don't think it's a good thing, because who is laughing on the side is China. Okay. The tariffs are not a trade war.
No. A trade war is a little more extreme than a couple of tariffs on some goods and services. It's a balance of payments. It's an equalization of trade, it seems to me. But okay. Yeah, let's call it a... Everything has to be a war, by the way. Everything has got to be a war. It's the way the Europeans think. Is that clip eight? We always have to remember that World War I was... And it starts with...
This is why the Ukraine thing is so dangerous, because World War I started with a lunatic assassinating the Archduke Ferdinand. It was some maniac. It had nothing to do with anything, and it just... It escalated. It escalated to a full-blown world war, and it was being fought all over, literally all over the world. South America and Middle East, every place got involved, including us. I mean, they can learn from us. When we're angry at our neighbors, we just fight it out on the ice.
We just do a hockey game, we beat each other up, and we're like, yeah, yeah, yeah! We beat you anyway! Three to one! You can't even skate! That's how you do it. You don't go into the trenches and kill a million people. You saw a hockey game, finally. Of course! No, I saw clips. Believe me, I did not see a hockey game. Hockey's great. I went to one hockey game in my life when I was in school in West Virginia.
Edie, her name was Edie, Edie took Mudman and me to Pennsylvania, drove like six hours to go to a Flyers game, and I'm at the game, I'm like, I don't even see the puck! I have no idea what I'm looking at! No, it was not for me. I guess not. But there was no fighting. I liked the fighting. And the gloves are off! That's the best. You went to a hockey game back in the day, and there was no fighting? I might have even been against New Jersey, which you'd expect. I don't recall any fighting.
You'd remember it if you saw it. There was no fighting. These guys, yeah. But that ultimately is how you get some aggression out. Just go beat each other on the ice. That's what soccer's supposed to do. They don't have fighting in soccer, that's the problem. You know what, this is a good point. Soccer would score big in America, even with limited commercials, if there was fighting. I think you might be on to something. We need to swerve it.
I don't like soccer, I think it's boring, but I would maybe watch it if I was super... But these guys are kind of wimpy, these guys. They're all with their feet, you know, prancing around, kicking the ball. More head kicks. I'm sorry, I kicked you in the head. What can I say? You're bonus anal. Okay, here we go. And finally, we've been talking about this, most of the security conferences focused on this, but
the Vice President, J.D. Vance, gave a speech today in which he said that the greatest threat that Europe faces is from within, and he said, quote, there is no security if you're afraid of the voices, the opinions, and the conscience that guide your own people. If you're running in fear from your own voters, there's nothing America can do for you. Is Europe afraid of the voices, opinions, and conscience of its own people?
Well, freedom of opinion, freedom of press is one of the fundamental values that the European Union stands for, and as you see, we have a lot of... You don't have freedom of speech, you have freedom of opinion. You can have an opinion as long as you keep it to yourself, and don't post about it. Freedom of opinion, freedom of press is one of the fundamental... You see that? Freedom of opinion. This is the problem right here, Europe. Yes, you have freedom of opinion. That right is secured for you.
You can have your opinion as long as... Just shut up about it. Yes. Freedom of opinion, freedom of press is one of the fundamental values that the European Union stands for, and as you see, we have a lot of elections going on all the time, a lot of very different groups. Do over!
Very vocal, and I don't really agree with that criticism, and I think, you know, of course we deal with our domestic problems on our own, but we need to cooperate on the big international worries that we have, and this is for example the war in Ukraine. Oh, man. Well, you know what? This whole thing escalated, and Vance got a new speech when Zelensky did this.
Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky says he's directed his ministers not to sign off on a proposed agreement to give the United States access to Ukraine's rare earth minerals. He said the document was too focused on U.S. interests and didn't include security guarantees for Ukraine that would deter future Russian aggression.
There are not very concrete things about security guarantees in this document, and for me it's very important the connection between some kind of security guarantees and some kind of investment. Ukraine has vast reserves of critical minerals that are used in aerospace, defense, and nuclear industries. The Trump administration has indicated it is interested in accessing them to reduce dependence on China. I don't know why Euronews is up talking all of a sudden. In China, defense...
And by the way, the ludicrous logic here is that we get the minerals and we would have to provide security because we want to protect the minerals. The minerals, of course! Someone told us... They don't want to give us that. Ukraine is a corrupt operation. It always has been. And nothing's changed. All that's changed is there's a bunch of money. And the idea behind the minerals was to pay us back for all the freebies they got and distribute it around the world for all we know.
This is ridiculous. And for all the decades I grew up and lived in Europe, we loved Ukraine. That's where you could do nasty. You want some crazy drugs? Ukraine. You want the Ukraine girls? Ukraine. You want a hitman? Ukraine. You want to go party crazy? Ukraine. Everyone loved Ukraine. It was all good. There's no reason for this. And I'm being a little flippant, but it fit in well. You're not being that flippant. It's the truth. It's the truth. The whole...
Yes, the unspoken part of it is exactly what you said. By the way, just going back to soccer for a moment, here's your problem. When someone's hurt on the field, it's always fake. Oh, my knee. There's a lot of flopping, it's called. Yeah, flopping. If someone was really hurt, the leg is like bent. You see that in real sports. We're just trying to Americanize football to make it successful. I'd like to go to MSNBC to get some fantastic analysis from our mainstream here in the United States.
Fundamentally, the goal is, as President Trump outlined it, we want the war to come to a close. We want the killing to stop. But we want to achieve a durable, lasting peace, not the kind of peace that's going to have Eastern Europe in conflict just a couple years down the road. At this table, we want the American people to understand what's being said and what it really means for them.
When they hear the Vice President speak this way, and there's another sound that we can use that crystallizes that moment, what should people understand it means for them potentially down the road? Not only is it isolation, but it's going to actually hurt you in your pocketbook at home. When it comes to the United States now looking like it only cares about itself, which it doesn't. I get it, feeling that we're overextending.
I remember when I was growing up, this idea of we should not be the policemen of the world. I get that part, but working alongside people, helping people with common values helps American values continue. So what we're really seeing is an entire reframing by J.D. Vance and Trump of what America actually stands for.
This idea that an America that stands up for democratic values, an America that stands up for pluralism, and it's now turning to an America that stands up for colonialism, land grabs, real estate deals. None of that benefits somebody sitting at home right now. That only benefits the people who are making the real estate deals. Lady, we just bought a plot of land for you in the Donbass. Congratulations. Now this is the best part. By the way, that guy that was there is Michael Steele.
The former Republican. Former head of the RNC. Jerk. This continues and gets better. I want to take a listen to the other sound we have of J.D. Vance talking about the threat from within, and then we'll talk about it on the other side. The threat from within, like immigration. The threat that I worry the most about vis-a-vis Europe is not Russia, it's not China, it's not any other external actor. And what I worry about is the threat from within.
The retreat of Europe from some of its most fundamental values, values shared with the United States of America. One of the things that strikes me about the first piece of sound we played and then that piece of sound is that it sounds innocuous enough. Now we know what the values are, right? We know what they are. They cut it off, but now, so this is a very this is a psychological operation on their viewing audience. All 15,000 of them.
It's like, oh well, it's our values, our shared values, and now they're going to tell you what those values are. One of the things that strikes me about the first... Let Vance tell you, because he does. Because it's psychological warfare. It's propaganda. One of the things that strikes me about the first piece of sound we played and then that piece of sound is that it sounds... It's a piece of sound. What was that? It was a piece of sound.
P.O.S. Innocuous enough. If you do not dig into the details and if you're not looking at it, which values, which shared values are we talking about? So let me pull up this from the Washington Post, which is that Vance met with the leader of a far right German party. So not what he said. Something the Washington Post wrote. Exported the MAGA message. When they say shared values, which values, pray tell? I wish I was exaggerating when I say Nazi values. Nazi values. That's it.
That's what Vance says. What? Nazi values. Yes, of course. Thank you, MSNBC. I wish I was exaggerating when I say Nazi values. Right? I mean, this is the far far right party in Germany, which understands what this kind of extremism can lead to. Far far right. They are not in power right now. And for JD Vance to say the will of the people, apparently the will of the people is great when Trump wins in the United States. But he refused to meet with the elected leader of Germany.
The German Chancellor. And instead goes and meets with this far right extremist party out of power, saying they're the will of the people. So what he's really presenting for the United States internally and overseas is that the will of the people is white, Christian, male, and willing to fight for that identity. Let's just take a quick break. Let's take a quick break and listen to boots on the ground, Frank from Germany. Frank.
And he sent us a note and said, Adam John, if you ever need any information from Germany, I'm here for you. For instance, Alice Vidal. She is the leader of the far far right, also known as extreme right Nazi values AFD party. She is not only a lesbian, but she's married to a brown girl or refugee. I didn't know that. Cherry on top. Anyway, the whole point is that this bull crap doesn't make logical. It's bull crap. And they are headed.
AFD is headed for their strongest results ever in the elections because the Germans, I feel bad for them. You got to get some pirate radio going or something. Do some podcasts. Where are the German podcasts? I'm sure they're around. Well, you have your contact right there. Ask him. I wonder if they're allowed to even... Yeah, good point. I wonder if they're even allowed to express their opinion. You're only allowed to have it.
I do have three relatively short BBC clips about the Munich conference. You want to hear those? Sure. ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... part of that. Well later in the day the Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met the US Vice President at the Munich conference. Mr Zelensky said they'd had a good conversation and that it would not be their last.
He said they needed to prepare a plan on how to stop President Putin and finish the war with Russia and that President Trump was key to making that happen. I hope and we count that really President Trump will help us and I really count on him. He is the President and the United States is the biggest denator during the war. I mean comparable with other countries. As I said Europe also but it's Europe totally continent. Yes. United States gave a lot. That's why I count on him.
People voted and we really think I see yes that he is strong man and if he will choose our side and if he will not be in the middle I think he will pressure and he will push Putin to stop the war. He can do it. This is he's backtracking on everything that's been discussed. It is baffling. The head of the European Commission is Ursula von der Leyen. This is my favorite. Here's Queen Ursula. President Putin says he's willing to meet. But on what terms.
It is up to him to demonstrate that his interest is not to prolong this war. It is up to him to show that he has given up his ambition to destroy Ukraine. And let me be very clear what I know she's four foot nine and acting like she's a giant. She's got nothing but but throws this stuff out there. It's baffling. His ambition to destroy Ukraine. And let me be very clear. A failed Ukraine would weaken Europe but it would also weaken the United States.
Because what we have seen is the authoritarians of this world are carefully watching whether there's any impunity. What? This is their latest pitch. The other woman had it too which is oh they're watching the Chinese in particular. They're watching to see if we blow it. Yeah exactly. If we blow it with this deal then China is going to take over the world.
The authoritarians of this world are carefully watching whether there's any impunity if you invade your neighbor and violate international borders or whether there are real deterrence. Yeah they're going to go for their own army. They're crazy. Macron is having a big meeting tomorrow. Emergency meeting everybody. Pierre is ready for your hair. Come on to Paris everybody. We're going to have an emergency meeting. Trump is not going to help us. All we wanted was simple.
Give us some rare earth minerals. You send some money our way. It was easy. Now someone got in the middle and I think it's the military-industrial complex. They've wanted this all along. They knew NATO was not working. They needed a new way. And I think President Trump is keen to that. Like okay fine. We don't even need tariffs. Just buy 200 billion dollars a year worth of our stuff. I think it's obvious. Well this is not so far this is not going well for that war.
And then we didn't even bring up the Middle East thing. I mean Trump made a big fuss about high noon yesterday. And he says what I don't want to see is these three people released and two people released. By the way I've been doing a ratio thing with the number of people that they release and the number of people the Israelis release. One to a hundred I think. It started at one to fifty. There was fifty Palestinians are worth one Jewish hostage. Then it went one to sixty.
Now it's one to about 110. 110 people per released hostage. It's ridiculous. Yeah high noon came and went. And now President Trump is at... Don't talk about it. He's at Daytona 500. Yeah that's better. He's got the beast on the... He's going to get some cheers. Did you see it? He was on the track and then he's talking on the radio from the beast as he's going. Oh no I did not notice this. The pace car. It was great. Yeah America. So the beast was the pace car? Yes. Wow. Yeah it was fantastic.
Did that give it a good workout? Well while we're on that topic, you know, President Trump keeps talking about his plan. We're going to own Magaza and all this stuff. And it was pointed out to me that this plan has been around probably since 2019. The plan is written up. It's published. It's well known. And of course it's Bibi Netanyahu's godson. You know remember Jared Kushner had to sleep on the couch. He'd Google it. Yep. Google it. The spy for Israel. The spy for Israel.
He went on Lex Friedman's show a year ago after October 7th and he explained the plan and the reason for the plan. This was something I took on. I was working on the political framework between the Israelis and the Palestinians and trying to understand what were the issues. And the issues were not very many. It basically was you had a land dispute. Yes you had to figure out where do you put borders.
Ultimately you had a security paradigm which I was much more favorable to Israel's perspective on. And obviously the events of the past 48 hours have fully justified that that that that bias. And then in addition to that you had to deal with the religious sites. But I felt operationally that wasn't actually as complicated as people made it because you wanted to just leave it open for everybody.
Then I went through and I felt that the Palestinian leadership was fairly disincentivized to make a deal because there was just this paradigm where for the billions of dollars coming in from the international community. And I think that they feared that if they made a deal they would lose their relevancy internationally and the money would stop flowing into the country.
So what I tried to do is to say you know my my approach when I would get into a hard problem say how do I understand all the different escape hatches. How do I try to eliminate them and then build a golden bridge that becomes a bridge. The only but also the most desirable pathway for the decision makers to walk through. So he so that makes sense. Hamas didn't want to give up millions of dollars and payments that came in that would lose their relevancy. It's probably a fair assessment.
Then I don't know about the escape hatches but OK. Here's the business plan and the players in the plan. So we developed a business plan for Gaza the West Bank. We threw in some some improvements for Jordan and Egypt as well. I was based it off of the vision 2030 that they did in Saudi Arabia which I thought was a visionary document. I went back through this process and I studied basically every economic project in the post World War II period.
So we looked at what they did in South Korea why it was successful with some strong industrial planning. We looked at Japan we looked at Singapore how we looked at Poland why it was successful. We spent a lot of time on the Ukraine plan for the country and why it wasn't successful. And that was mostly because of governance and corruption which actually resembles a lot of what's gone wrong with the Palestinians where there's no property rights there's no rule of law.
And what we did is we built a plan to show you know it's not that that hard right in the sense that between the West Bank and Gaza you had five million people. And and we put together a plan I think it is about 27 billion dollars.
We got together a conference I had the head of AT&T we had Steve Schwartzman from Blackstone came gracious of them with all the leading Arabic businessmen the leading builders leading developers and the general consensus of that of that of that of that conference was that this is very doable. You know we think that for Gaza in particular it would cost maybe maybe seven to eight billion dollars to rebuild the entire place.
We felt we could reduce the poverty rate in half we can create over a million jobs there. The only thing that people said was holding it back wasn't Israel. What was holding it back was governance and people wouldn't have confidence investing there with with the rule that Hamas was was perpetuating. So this sounds to me like a lot of the setup for the plan that the president is talking about literally mentioning Jordan and Egypt. And the plan was advanced. This plan has been going all along.
I encourage people actually to look at the plan. It was very thoughtful 181 pages. We went project by project. Each project has costed out. It's a real plan that could be implemented but you need the right governance and all of the different Arabic countries are willing to fund it. The international community is willing to fund it because they've just been throwing so much money at the Palestinians for years. That's never been outcomes based. There are conditions based.
It's just been you know entitlement money. And unfortunately it hasn't really achieved any outcomes that have been successful. So it's a great business plan. It just shows to rebuilding Gaza. You know could be easy. But like I said you know the problem that's held the Palestinian people back and that's made their lives terrible in Gaza has not been Israel.
It's really been Hamas's leadership or lack of leadership and their desire to focus on trying to kill Israelis and start war with Israel over improving the lives of the Palestinian people. I mean Hamas has been running it now for 16 years and they don't have a lot to show for it. And you know our posture with them was basically a very simple deal. And if you think about what's the end state in Gaza it's actually not that complicated. It's you know there's no territorial disputes right.
The border is the border. There's no religious issues there as well. You know you're not dealing with Jerusalem. You're basically just dealing with the fact that you know Israel wants to make sure that there's no threat from Gaza. So it's a demilitarization or some kind of security guarantee from a credible source where Israel doesn't feel like Gaza can be used to stage attacks into Israel or to fire rockets into Israel. But Hamas has not shown desire for that or a capability for that.
And I don't think there's enough trust to allow them to do that which is why you know under the current circumstances if you do want to have peace there Hamas has to be either eliminated or severely degraded in terms of their military military capabilities. Yeah. Check mark check mark. This was this is over a year ago. This is exactly what has happened. The plan has been underway for a long time. This is why the president seems so confident. And I'm pretty sure Jordan and Egypt are ready.
I don't see it. What do you see then. I see the same mess that's always been historically and I don't see it changing at all. The I mean let's look at the track record. I think he's right about the fact that you had bad governance for X number of years but it's also during that period of bad governance which we have in California.
You have a period of brainwashing the public to make them think that this is great what they're doing and they're all full of shit these people and the Palestinians are troublemakers because of it because of the the brainwashing. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You can find the textbooks and all the rest about how the Jews are terrible and all the rest of it.
And if that's doesn't just disappear overnight just because you put some new people in the same thing like in California or in these schools where you know they promote gender studies or gender ideology as kids come home if the parents are in with it because they're dumb right but they're lousy parents they're all but they buy into it too. But they haven't blown up the leadership. That's the difference. The Hamas leadership is gone. That's the difference.
If you blew up Gavin Newsom not not saying you should you know and got rid of these city councils and all the corruption. Yeah it was just it would just reform. Man it would reform it would it's going to reform in Palestine too. It's just like an octopus tentacle just grows on again. Kind of. But if you have a population that's all into it that thinks that everything is hunky -dory and they refuse to do this they refuse to do that. No. This is bullcrap. This is going nowhere.
Well I think this is the plan they're trying to implement. Well they can try all they want. Good luck with that. I think it's just a waste of time and money but you know it's idealistic. I mean yes they're you know they think that everyone thinks like an American. This is not the way it is. It's just like but he did make a good point about the corruption the bad governance of Ukraine and Hamas. Yeah. And the Ukraine is the same way. And California. Put them all in the same boat.
And California or Massachusetts. You're the Ukraine of America. That's getting there. Let's stick with the military industrial complex and a little bit with Israel. The Iron Dome. We heard President Trump promise the Iron Dome is coming. Although is it going to be called the Iron Dome? Here is our Secretary of Defense with the money honey. We need to update our nuclear triad on land in sea and on air. But that also includes the Iron Dome. Iron Dome or Golden Dome whatever you want to call it.
Golden Dome. We have embraced the executive order of President Trump. We're going to ensure it's included in reconciliation money in the FY 26. All our budgets going forward to invest in the ability. Maria get this novel idea to defend our homeland. That's why we're focusing on our southern border and the invasion there at 100 percent operational control. And then our skies. So Golden Dome. Iron Dome. Maria. Money honey. Bartiromo dives in deeper.
Joining me now is U.S. Israel Education Association Senior Policy Advisor. Okay. I love this. This is the U.S. Israel the Israel America Israel Education Association. Advisor. Yes. This is the funding arm for AIPAC. And this is what I've consistently said because I followed the money. You can look at the 990s. You can see that it's Raytheon and Boeing who put money into the education fund non -profit.
And the education fund funds AIPAC not for Israel to control everybody but for the military industrial complex to control everybody in which they do. No doubt about it. We have we still have producers out there who listen to the show and think that you're a Zionist for even suggesting. Excuse me. We are dominating the situation in the way things go. Yes. Boomer Zionist. Okay. I mean. Oh you're a boomers. I didn't. Boomer Zionist piece of crap. That's what it is. Yeah. Well yes.
That's what one guy called you. So. So why is this guy telling us about the Golden Dome? Because he's part of the military industrial complex. And we're going to build this thing and it's interesting. And it's not going to do anything. Well listen. Joining me now is U.S. Israel Education Association Senior Policy Advisor and rocket scientist Aryeh Satcher. And he's a rocket scientist. Not unimportant.
President Trump told me he's probably going to call it something else something like the Golden Sphere or Golden Dome. I think golden balls will be the Golden Sphere the Golden Dome. We have we have to come up with a better name than that. He's probably going to call it something else something like the Golden Sphere or Golden Dome. Tell me how this works and a little about the Iron Dome that is used right now in Israel sir. So let me tell you at the outset it doesn't work.
The golden condom the golden egg. I mean we've got they've got to do something. They've got to start marketing this properly. Now let's listen to what it is. So let me tell you at the outset the president is using the term Iron Dome as a as a metaphor. Iron Dome met a previous slide that defends small areas city sized areas against threats that are launched from about 40 miles away. So it's perfect for defending Israel from Gaza Lebanon.
It is not something that the United States needs very much. United States has a small number of batteries of Iron Dome and that defends deployed forces. But to defend the U.S. homeland as the president wants to do you need something completely different. You're defending against rockets not launched from Canada or Mexico or that I know of. You're defending against rockets that launch from North Korea from China from Russia. Potentially.
And you need something far more complex than Iron Dome to shoot it down. What the president is looking at is something that probably would be called space based intercept. You bring up a whole bunch of interceptors into outer space and the whole intercept will take place outer space. So if you want to call it Iron Dome or you want to call it Fred doesn't make a difference. It's not Iron Dome. But the chances of it succeeding are excellent.
The U.S. has a tremendous amount of engineers and gumption. Space Force. Yeah baby. Let's call it the Orange Dome. There you go. That's better. There's going to be space. Isn't there some treaty we're not supposed to weaponize space. I mean it's not like we haven't already done that. The Chinese haven't already done that. But that should get I think there is a treaty that gets us should get some pushback. The whole thing is that this is just a fiasco.
No I think that's what nuclear deterrence is all about. Yeah OK. You can bomb us but then we're going to just wipe out your entire. No no no no. We zap your your hypersonic missiles with. Sure we do. With the golden with our golden stream. I knew you. I was wondering how long it would take for you to go. It took me at least six minutes. Come on. Give me give me some credit. Well you know and Elon's going to build it.
This I mean I was I was alive when Reagan was like yeah we're going to put in our Star Wars. Whatever happened to that. Didn't work. It didn't. Well they couldn't get. They couldn't. This stuff works. I mean if you have a multiple reentry product that's like you send up an ICBM and it breaks into 100 little pieces and 100 little bombs and just go scattering around every which way. It's pretty hard. You can stop one or two. And then we have the upcoming drone warfare which comes under the radar.
And that mean that's going to be I think going to be the future of a lot of these battles. These drones flying around. Yeah. This is a mess. They got to establish a peaceful world. Yes. Well you do that through strength. The war. Yeah exactly. Let's talk a little bit about this situation with Eric Adams.
Yeah. Can you do you in these clips or can you tell me exactly what the charges were on him because as far as I can recall a couple of Turkish Airlines upgrades because they said I want you to introduce me to somebody and I'm upgrading you to from business is a little bit of that. That's all involves Turkey. And also then there's a charge that they were getting to which they didn't get to which was him lying to the FBI about what was going on.
The whole thing was you know the Justice Department dropped it. But the way this is a presentation on PBS again. OK. And this is a pack of lies. This I've traced this down. I believe there's a beef going on between the Federalist Society. No. And the Trump administration and a new guy because there's a there's a change of leadership at the Federalist Society and there's this guy who's taking over called Leonard Leo. Can you tell me about the Federalist Society.
The Federalist Society is a super conservative operation that's involved with the judicial picks. The Gorsuch Amy Comey Barrett and Kavanaugh were all chosen by the Federalist Society when Trump's first when he was first in office almost every judge that he appointed was pre-picked by the Federalist Society. Can I ask you a question.
So when I think Federalist Society I think of the Federalist Party and the Anti-Federalist Party when we were getting the Constitution together and there was no beef. It's not the same thing. No it's just a group of super super conservatives that believe in a very very conservative no no leeway whatsoever type of operation and they and they're mostly concentrating on the judicial and they have people planted all over the place and I believe this is a power play.
Because when Trump put in Pam Bondi without consulting these guys. Oh that's the issue. These guys really think they're the tail wagging the dog and they're especially this new guy Leonard Leo. You should just look him up on Wikipedia. He's an egomaniac who spends a lot of money at his seams and he is a throwing his way. He's one of these guys who he thinks he's the president kind of you know where you're the guy behind the scenes.
If anybody remembers old California politics from the before I was born but in the 30s and 40s this guy Arthur Samish. Okay so he supported not only John Roberts, Sam Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett but also Clarence Thomas. Yes these guys really think they run the place. Because they kind of do when it comes to the judicial to this point but they weren't consulted on Bondi.
There may be some some and Bondi's got some issues that irk these guys and so I think this was the whole Eric Adams thing the way it was handled because we go through these clips I'll tell you my complaints about each one of these clips. The PBS guys are having nothing but fun over this because the person who started this and I believe the Federalist Society is behind the mass resignation. Oh yeah that sounds right.
Yeah when you have a mass resignation somebody is orchestrating it this doesn't I've been in enough operations to know this because I've done it myself. Have you ever mass resigned? I put together one it's a story I'm not going to discuss. You're a troublemaker you.
I am a troublemaker and so this Danielle Sassoon is like oh she was the acting top prosecutor U.S. attorney la la la la la and nobody mentions in any of these reports any of them you can look and look and look you won't find it the fact is she was in office as acting for three whole weeks. Three whole weeks. Yes yeah yeah exactly.
So she shows up next thing you know she quits in a huff over the Eric Adams things that we'll go through these clips and I can complain more but let's start with the Eric Adams fiasco clip one. A wave of resignations is shaking up the U.S. Justice Department after the Trump administration gave orders to drop the corruption case against New York City Mayor Eric Adams. So far at least seven officials have quit and Adams is facing increasingly loud calls to step down.
The exodus began yesterday with one of New York's top federal prosecutors and it's already being dubbed the Thursday afternoon massacre recalling the famous Saturday night massacre during the Watergate scandal. William Brangham begins our coverage. Okay hold on. Sassoon a member of the deeply conservative Federalist Society is a rising star in legal circles. In her resignation letter Sassoon name-checked her former mentor Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
Okay yes all right you you've picked up on something important here this is good. She's she's in her credentials are impeccable and the guy who's the other guy that I think was important on this is this guy Hagen Scotton. Hagen Scotton who's one of the guys who was leading the investigation of Eric Adams. Right.
And the two of them she has one child and one on the way family woman married and this Scotton guy's got three kids and that you just don't up and quit a job like this with a big family like that unless you get you get guarantees.
So it goes don't worry about it you can quit but you you you're gonna land on your feet when in fact if you quit the way these two did and the other five it's like no you're never gonna get work again in this town is the way it should go but no they've been set up this whole thing is a scam and it's and it's being put and the media loves it because you have these people are impeccable this this this Scott this Hagen character this guy's double bronze star rattles up
the ass you know he's a these are super conservatives that are you can say well look these super conservatives they quit on the Trump administration because it's corrupt Trump's corrupt and so is it was Pam Bondi but let's finish these clips throughout this entire ordeal which today New York City Mayor Eric Adams was playing defense I had to endure for something I didn't do I didn't do anything wrong including a PR blitz on Fox News all
the while the U.S. Department of Justice is in upheaval over the fate of the corruption case it brought against the mayor yesterday six DOJ officials resigned after refusing an order from the department in Washington to dismiss the case acting U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York Danielle Sassoon a Republican who clerked for the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia started the exodus oh she started the exodus okay yeah she was the initiator
working there three weeks not taking orders from her boss so I just started the job I'm working there three weeks my boss says you got to drop this case I have reasons or we have reasons or we don't think it's a good case or it doesn't it doesn't make any difference why because you're working there three weeks you're on probation and you oh I'm not gonna listen to you I quit and so then by the way I expect you to say that one day on this show to me I think it's
gonna happen not working for you I quit and so uh and the media just slaps it up because this is like a kind of a crack in the armor here soap opera it's a soap opera they love it yeah and it's bullcrap and it and this and the logic of it makes no sense this is total insubordination that was orchestrated by somebody and I suspect a federalist society but on to clip two three three oh that was that was two yeah yeah this is okay well then clip three kind of summarizes
an interesting thought writing to Trump's new attorney general Pam Bondi Sassoon accused Mayor Adams and officials in the DOJ of what amounted to a quid pro quo oh yeah that Adams would aid Trump's immigration enforcement if the DOJ dropped his case Sassoon excoriated that alleged offer writing quote it is a breathtaking and dangerous precedent to reward Adams opportunistic and shifting commitments on immigration and other policy matters with dismissal of a criminal indictment now was she the
one that said that Adams lawyer had said that in the meeting I don't know who said that but I just want to back into this the concept that the justice department there's a couple of things the justice department for one thing did a deal with somebody gee that's never happened in the history of the justice system in the United States no one's ever done a deal with somebody to get them to cooperate from one way or another that's never happened before so this is
a big shocker and then they keep then they keep bringing up this prosecutor prosecutorial misconduct that's bullcrap because prosecutorial misconduct always has to do with screwing over some guy not letting him go free so this whole thing is orchestrated and it's phony and the PBS doesn't dig into it nobody mentions that this girl this chick Sassoon chick was there for three whole weeks and she's standing up against the the DOJ and Pam Bondi give me a break Sassoon chick how old is she let
me see she's young yeah she does seem but she did some big she's done some big big she was the uh she's a millennial Sam Bankman Freed uh prosecutor the Sam Bankman Freed and she also did um she did something else no slouch no I'm not saying that she's not a slouch but she's something's corrupt about the whole thing yeah the what else does she do she's done some racketeering cases uh sex trafficking students you did it for three weeks you do what you're
told you'd think especially in this sort of situation I mean it's come on this happens all the time and so even if there was a pretty good pro quo which they keep talking about they can't prove but they keep saying they say there was this guy is going to help Trump clean up New York and make everything better and this is a bad idea bad bad idea supply you want to hear the NPR clips on this or do you want to you have one more Eric Adams clip I see you play
the last one yesterday Mayor Adams met with Trump's border czar Tom Homan and sat beside him on Fox News this morning as he denied Sassoon's claims that's quid pro quo that's a crime that it took her three she took it took her three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action come on this is silly but then Homan implied that if Adams didn't help with immigration in his office up his butt saying where the hell is agreement we came to acting U
.S. Deputy Attorney General and former Trump lawyer Emil Bovee who ordered the dismissal rejected the assertion that there was any quid pro quo in a response to Sassoon he wrote that she quote lost sight of her oath and should not quote interpret the constitution in a manner inconsistent with the policies of a democratically elected president Adams had pleaded not guilty last year to federal charges of accepting bribes and illegal campaign contributions from Turkish nationals now a
flurry of Democrats are calling on Adams to step down and calling on New York Governor Democrat Kathy Hochul to remove him from office which she'd have the authority to do for DOJ officials the so-called Thursday Afternoon Massacre continued today Hagan Scotton the line prosecutor who handled the Adams case quit with a defiant message to Bovee refusing his motion to dismiss the case Scotton wrote I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool or enough of a coward to file
your motion but it was never going to be me reportedly Bovee was able to find a DOJ lawyer willing to sign the motion this afternoon this is a this is a good a good sequence you had here because exactly what you talk about and and of course this the focus of Sassoon is only that you know she was she's so awesome and she really led the charge and this is you know no one agrees because it's Trump and politicization he's going after his political enemy blah blah blah that's what's sticking it's
really sticking and this interview or this appearance he did on Fox with Holman uh has just got everybody in a tizzy as of course we must once again resort to MSNBC and the superstar Joy Reid but we begin tonight with Donald Trump's take on law and order as we now live in a country where the rule of law comes second to whatever Trump wants as of today's seven top federal prosecutors and officials including the acting U
.S. attorney for the southern district of New York Daniel Sassoon saying that she witnessed Adams attorney indicate that Adams would only be able to help push Trump's immigration enforcement policies if the charges against him were dropped and before I continue the clip so apparently this happened three weeks ago when she just got there is when this horrible quid pro quo quo quo quid pro quo quid pro quo was suggested she held on to it this morning Adams responded of course on Fox of course
because that's the president's network think about that think about that think about my attorney Alex Spiro wanted to one of the top uh uh trial attorneys in the country imagine him going inside saying that the only way uh Mayor Adams is going to assist in immigration which I was calling for for since 2022 is if you drop the charges that's quid pro quo that's a crime that took her three she took it took her three weeks to report in front of her a criminal action come on this is silly yeah that
was okay this is silly but you know when you say it on Fox it's not true well first I should note that Adams attorney Alex Spiro who you just heard him mention also represents none other than who who can you guess who who you'll never guess Jeffrey Epstein no close close I'll give you one more guess uh Weinstein oh man so close no Trump's co-president Elon Musk I like the co-president Epstein would have been better interesting right Epstein would have been interesting
right you know is interesting right interesting right and second it is hard not to find it ridiculous when Adams is seen sitting next to Trump's borders are Tom Homan right there on Fox who just minutes later all but confirms the quid pro quo with a threat to Adams on live TV if he doesn't come through I'll be back in New York City and we won't be sitting on the couch I'll be in his office up his butt saying where the hell is the agreement we came to up his butt nice Tom
Brokaw is rolling over in his grave he's dead he that's what I said he's rolling over in his grave yeah you can't believe that news now I can't believe that you're using the term up his butt and of course everyone's quick to jump in because hey there's going to be a spot there's going to be a spot let's jump in let's bring in some familiar faces very familiar to me as a former New Yorker here this morning Curtis Sliwa has officially filed paperwork to run for New York City Mayor Sliwa I
have to say Curtis Sliwa was such a badass back in the late 80s and the 90s in New York the guardian angels it was the people protecting the people and he's still walking around with that silly beret on his head the beret the red beret the beret the beret is like dude we get it Sliwa is of course the founder of the guardian angels and was a republican nominee for mayor in 2021 ultimately losing that election to Mayor Adams in a campaign post Sliwa has said he will prioritize public safety and
quality of life issues in the meantime former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has been mulling a run for mayor as well Cuomo has not made things official but he did post a campaign style video on social media yesterday it's frightening out there on the streets but we have been through this before as New Yorkers we've seen the ups we've seen the downs and we know how to make this city work and make this state safe for everyone and that's exactly what we're going to
do this was from a valentine's day event at the johnson houses community center yesterday which was hosted by assembly member eddie gibbs Cuomo quid pro cuomo not looking good he looks frail his voice is frail the old man the governor yes very very thin looking kind of gauntish no it's not good it's not good the um let me see are we i think we're done with that right we have nothing else i think we covered it so interesting little piece of video i caught
we've been talking about just staying in new york here with the the 59 million dollars that was being spent on the roosevelt hotel for i guess where is it is that does this does the no agenda style guide allow us to say illegal aliens again i think i think that's back right we can say that now no i think we could always say it yeah well that's you can have your opinions but you know got to be careful about what you say in the uk and this was on gb news of
course camelot castle a camelot castle famous hotel that goes back to the time you know supposedly that's where king arthur had his round table of knights and you know it's in a village and it's a it's a castle and they got rooms in the king arthur was out in the out in the western part of the country over in uh whatever that area is the western part the camelot castle associated with king arthur well it's just named camelot uh no but i'm reading from the london okay okay listen it's a cast
that is bullcrap that that's please continue that's the marketing story okay it's the marketing story the proprietor of camelot castle explained what the british government wanted to do with him regarding illegal aliens in great britain you refused a request from the home office to house migrants what did they offer you and why did you turn it down well it was a considerable amount of money beverly it was probably double what we would normally make on on
a good year because they offered full occupancy on a rolling contract for a year so how does that work somebody literally just picks up the phone to you or do they send you a letter they sent us a letter first right and to be honest with you i thought it was a joke and because of the amount of money they were offering well i just couldn't believe that the government wanted to put you know illegal migrants up in four poster beds yeah uh at camelot castle i mean it was absolutely remarkable
it would have destroyed the village because one of the things they said is to lay off all the staff um and all but two because they do meals on wheels you clean the rooms once a week you're probably a big employer in the village well a major employer in the village and and locally and of course those jobs in a village like tintagel they they wouldn't be replaced no so um but also they would have the place up with about 300 people and um you know you then have those people wandering
around the village i don't know whether they whether they intended to contain them or whether they would be allowed out and about i know in other areas certainly hotels in new key have had some serious problems because there were a few hotels that did take the migrants there presumably people who stay at your hotel then spend their money in the village well of course they do they do spend their money there and it would have it would have destroyed the local economy um you
know it's hard to say how many hundreds of thousands of pounds our guests spend in the village but certainly a fair amount um but it's also the the cultural degradation that goes along with this new york um what is it uh we got memos from people who had weddings scheduled was it pennsylvania it's all over the place the netherlands some sort of a conspiracy that's the thing it's like it does seem like this was a coordinated move to destroy the world basically bring it
all down bring all societies as particularly in heartland just bring it down bring it all down yeah who needs that aggravation no but a lot a lot of people took the deal of course a lot of people took the deal when the offer twice as much as you normally get which is what the guy implied well we know the dutch uh remember that family van der volk they took the deal and then the family got into a big fight over it and you know the blew the family apart because half of
them didn't want to do it and the other one was like look at the money and he was taking money for just presenting the deal to the family i think so it's it's insanity insanity and why why because oh i learned something you know this uh this uh this new style we've picked up of someone saying why because it hasn't yet it hasn't asking themselves questions it's called hypophora hypophora hypophora figure speech in which the speaker poses a question then answers the question um
and it is uh really a a psychological trick and what's the trick accomplished i'm looking besides annoy you and me that is the main reason they're doing it of course um to annoy you and me the rhetorical effectiveness lies in allowing the speaker to answer questions the listener may have so it's if you have this question we're going to give you we're going to confirm your question and then give you the answer in a different direction hype hype hypophora is used as a transitional
device to take the discussion in a new direction a device to catch attention since a reader or listener's curiosity is stimulated by hearing a question and to suggest the answer that the reader or listener may not have thought of um so it's a it's a good control it's a control it's i mean i guess i like it neurolinguistic programming i guess now i like it more than before now we have to really pay attention who's doing it because their people are just directing the
conversation in the direction they want there's no so in other words there's no conversation no and why because then why and why because they they want to control your mind that's why there you go um i'm gonna do it i have one clip of uh bio leninism which is also known as trans maoism as president trump has now signed executive orders that the government funds may not be used for gender operations which is also known as gender affirming care for children under 19 which
means it really only means that medicare can't pay for it um if you if you want to do it you know you want to pay for it yourself and that's that's another thing so they're protesting this outside the lori's children's hospital i think in chicago hundreds of people protested outside not only one only one was trans who was protesting everybody there does not look trans at all and the people who are speaking on camera not trans except for one but that's a male to
female trans which i don't think there was much operating done that perhaps uh breast enhancements over the hospital's decision to pause gender affirming surgeries for patients under the age of 19 legislators have no business to be stepping into medical decisions the hospital says it will continue to provide some services for transgender youth we can receive gender-affirming hormones and uh puberty blockers but um if they're willing to take away top surgery which is such a pivotal
part um of people's transitions and people's um i just love top surgery you mean a double mastectomy double mastectomy it's now just known as top surgery lives then what's next the decision came shortly after president trump signed an executive order stopping federal support for gender transitions a federal judge temporarily blocked trump's executive order on thursday demonstrators say the move can cause serious harm to transgender people as we know here it comes now you always want to
throw this in because as we know why because as we know to transgender people as we know many uh trans youth who can't get access to health care um commit suicide unfortunately uh it's so tired it's so tired the evidence is not conclusive on that at all but that's that's the psychological trick we've played over and over again if we don't give trans children health care note the term health care they will kill themselves demonstrators say the move can cause serious harm to transgender
people as we know many uh trans youth who can't get access to health care um commit suicide unfortunately at the rally we heard from transgender advocates i'm the product of a transition before the age of 19 years old and i just don't know if this uh this man dressed and looking very feminine has had bottom surgery i was supported i had access to care and because of that i'm standing here today whole healthy thriving parents with children who are patients at the hospital all
healthy and thriving they're choosing to live their true selves because not doing so hurts them more than anything the bullies can do what do we do many in the crowd fear the changes this hospital made are just the beginning laurie's is a leader in this space so if they back down other smaller companies and smaller organizations will follow in a statement laurie children's hospital called the decision difficult and said they're monitoring further developments on this issue
you know in 1990 i did a documentary of thailand and we did a whole bunch of crazy things you know drank cobra blood stayed with the hill tribe uh up near the the burmese border snake alley in taiwan i i thought it was you know they killed they first they make the cobra angry and then they milk them and then they slit them open yeah it was disgusting very disgusting and you know we went to see i was bad went to see the long necks which turned out to be a tourist
trap but we also in bangkok we went to a lady boy show and i remember interviewing the lady boys and i recall saying so why do you want to be a woman yeah i was in 1990 i was how old was i like 30 30 something not even yeah 30 um and they got mad at me they said no no we're not women we're lady boys they literally would get mad if you thought that they wanted to be women they said we're just lady boys this is this is what we want to be and i i that would solve
a lot of problems well that's not gonna happen no it's not gonna happen i have two but i just wanted to say something on the dei front because i i have breaking news it's breaking news my buddy my buddy the former hollywood executive you know who i'm talking about yeah i know exactly who you're talking about is suing disney good and uh so i i can now tell you who his name is because it's in print uh rob robert steffens rob steffens who served as cfo and then president of marvel from
2015 to 2023 filed a complaint tuesday that a disney executive informed him that he would not be promoted to president of disney consumer products because of his age and race stephens stephens claimed that then marvel ceo isaac perlmutter also known as ike told him in february 2022 that word came from then disney ceo bob chapek that he would not receive the promotion because the company couldn't award the job to quote another old white guy the job perfect this is a lawsuit they just have
to settle this won't even go to court the job was then given to a woman of quote ambiguous ethnicity per the complaint one more one more um one more paragraph stephens alleged he was also denied the promotion for objecting to other incidents of racial discrimination that he witnessed at the house of the mouse in the past the former marvel executive claimed that disney was engaged in quote an official effort to promote vice presidents based on their race and a memorandum so that he has
he has the receipts that would have referred to employees with the racial signifier by park disney's actions were willful wanton malicious intentional oppressive and despicable and were done in willful and conscious disregard of the rights welfare and safety of mr stephens i'm thinking he's gonna he's gonna be starting his own entertainment company soon so that could be but i think he should donate to the show oh yeah no big time because we've been a huge supporter
of him without ever naming him so back to the gender issues which i guess are somewhat related yeah related let's go to there's a new gender no yeah no it's unbelievable there were 75 out of 70 it is the policy of this administration there are two genders well here's the new one this is the gender season did you know however there is a gender identity that is linked to the seasons this is called gender season gender identity i've only just learned about it's a
micro identity it's not an identity that i have ever heard discussed before it's a new one for me and a season is an individual who explores the gender identity in relation to a season or all the seasons so this might be somebody whose gender expression and identity is linked to one season so for example winter or this might be somebody whose gender identity and expression changes depending on the season this is completely in line with what i've been saying for a year it's the
gender season of reveal everybody this gender season that's why people are named autumn and summer and winter and fall okay well so there's there's that and then we have the this is a new movement that i got early here this is the trans prepper oh this is good with concentration camps looming in the united states here's what queer people are doing yes i said concentration camps you can f*** off maga oh we are getting a go bag ready we are getting all of our
documents ready so driver's license birth certificate social security card passport now if you have to revert your passport and your documents to previously said um gender identities that you were born with do so i'm allowed to do so with my driver's license that says x on it in the state that i'm in i'm going monday to revert that to my gender assigned at birth so the next step we're going to have a go bag with shoes clothes for seven days dehydrated food think astronaut
food for seven days we're going to have a thousand dollars cash or bitcoin paid credit card on hand some ether and this is just for the emergency this isn't for permanency this is for a week of getting by off the grid we're going to have anything ready for the pets that we're taking with us so put some cat litter in in your trunk put some cat food or dog food in your trunk um make sure there's a leash there make sure you have everything ready for everything that you're taking with you

trans survivalist movement that is that is that's interesting yeah i think that they should all go to berkeley that's uh we all meet with our go bags in berkeley we meet with our go bags in berkeley and have you found more of these these videos of the trends i'll start bringing them up as they come this is yeah there's been a few this is but so what uh concentration camps are they referring to he just says google it mega well i'm mega let me google that's what he said trans concentration camps
okay let's see i'm googling it as per instructed the well they had them during the nazi era apparently well same thing this is the nazi area hello yes um hmm i do i cannot google anything and current of said concentration camps well you're not doing it right i'm not googling right so i got a couple of clips about doge okay i just want to say i feel bad for these people i mean it's horrible that our our fellow citizens are have been so psyoped into this insanity and i wish there was
something i could do for them you're doing what you can i am i'm doing what but it's not enough obviously and they don't you know they won't listen at some point at some point when you go over the cliff you're in free fall there's not really any way there's no superman coming to stop you from hitting the bottom yeah well in your opinion having a decade on me is there anything like this that has happened in the past with any group that felt so marginalized that they were prepping and fleeing for
fear of their government the regular preppers well yeah they've been around forever so this is just an offshoot i don't see the difference really okay so i'm gonna start with this clip this is uh brooks yeah because brooks and k part were on yakking about everything and so uh i just took this little snippet from brooks and then i have to the guy i feel bad about him he's delusional and and this this little lecture he gives here is uh is i just about a guy missing the point i guess i'm
not sure how you can come to this conclusion but here we go what i object to is donald trump was elected mostly by working-class people who have real problems they have health disparities with the rest of us they have educational disparities they workplace their they live in communities that have where the social capital is low is this does brooks have a tiktok account is that where he's doing this this is not on on pbs yes this is on pbs is he on zoom what what is this no it's just the
way it's i know he's he's a remote oh yeah he's remote okay donald trump was elected by those people you'd think he'd care enough about them to do something on behalf of the people who elected them instead he's going after you know usaid he's going after any place he thinks there might be liberal people with college degrees uh and so what we're seeing is not populism what we're seeing is a sort of ivy league right-wing nihilism uh and to me that is so
disorienting and so shocking and so appalling that you can't even serve the legitimate needs of the people who put you in power they're totally off the board this last month we need something to happen we need some kind of win that you know like stopping a war or something that can just put everybody on a different track i don't know if i can handle another four more years of this well the thing that bothers me is that he doesn't understand that what doge is
doing is exactly what these voters wanted yes and and and showing the corruption and waste of their taxpayer money yes is exactly helping them i don't know what he's talking about i do have two more clips i want to play the doge report there's a woman who comes on every day on twitter and this is often released by musk uh who does the doge report and here's the one she just did on the health care industry which is worth listening to because i i may be bringing these in more often then
i have the bonus clip i want to play the doge report health care edition so just found that the u.s health care corporation spent 95 percent of their income to share shareholder payouts yeah not on more research not on staffing issues not on infrastructure but shareholder payouts that totaled about 2.6 trillion dollars over the last 20 years fun fact the u.s taxpayers pay about 70 percent of those fees also just breaking that wasn't enough to breaking make it too fit to
be tied 2.7 trillion again 2.7 trillion dollars has been improperly paid out in medicare and medicaid to people outside of our country i hope you heard me i didn't say million i didn't say billion i said 2.7 trillion dollars of taxpayer money has been improperly paid in medicare and medicaid to people outside of the united states thank god for doge for exposing this for showing you how they are robbing us blind like wasting our money and lining their pockets more to
come i'm going to tag on to this and yes i'd like you to keep i'd saw that but i think it's your beat now as you definitely uh keep tabs on her reports breaking she should do a little better job breaking just breaking right now she's just the kind of an amateur doing good work but when it comes to the voter base who wanted all this and the medical industrial complex for lack of a better term rfk jr's acceptance speech when he was sworn in with the president there addressed exactly this
president trump has promised to restore the american dream in this country a healthy person has a thousand dreams a sick person only has one 60 of our population has only one dream that they get better president trump has promised that he's going to restore america's strength but we can't be a strong nation if we have a weak citizenry if people are sick 60 of our our people are sick 77 as president trump mentioned if our children cannot qualify for military service and we need
a man on a white horse now we need somebody who is willing to come in and has the spine and the guts and the strength to challenge orthodoxies to stand in the way of vested interests and to break institutions that have turned against our democracy president trump again and again that he is that hero yeah sucking up a little bit but i love the i love the the basic premise healthy people have a thousand dreams sick people have one that's so that's so right it's spot on well here before we get
to the the last clip which is the one that the bonus clip i i have a rfk clip too which is this is one of these clips where it's like you know i'd like to see this if he can do it this was on one of the turning point meetings my initial inclination would be to use the justice department and the moral authority of the office but also you know the justice department i should immediately call in the beginning investigation of the medical boards and the the the collusion between the pharmaceutical
industry and the medical boards that are de -licensing these physicians who actually try to heal patients and try to treat them they the justice department will also call in the medical journals that are corrupted by the pharmaceutical industry and explain to them that they're all going to be subject to criminal and civil rico actions if they don't show us a way that they're going to stop revoking studies and refusing to publish studies that that challenge pharmaceutical
the mercantile interests of pharmaceutical companies we're going to change the way business is done at nih now he does leave him this is new now he's like but i'm going to leave him and out if they show that they can change their ways yes he gave yes but this is going to be rough because they're going to push back on this so i so here's the bonus clip this was sent by our our grand duke out of san jose into me this morning and so i thought it would be good because
it talks about kind of the the the underpinnings of doge yes this is quite quite interesting yeah this is good of course i have yes democrats are doing everything they can to challenge doge and they're trying to take it out but here's why it's going to be nearly impossible for them in 2014 obama created the united states digital service it was a government it task force meant to fix the obamacare disaster website it had full access to federal systems but nobody paid much attention
to it now fast forward to 2025 trump rebrands it as the united states doge service same acronym same funding but a completely different mission find the receipts legally doge is untouchable trump invoked five u.s code 3161 which lets him create temporary hiring authorities now doge teams are inside every federal agency each team has a lawyer an hr rep a young tech genius an investigator and they all report to doge not the agency they are embedded in then trump invoked 44 us code chapter
35 a law governing federal it oversight since usds was already an it oversight body doge now has access to every federal database you can't defund it because it's not a new program it's just a rebrand you can't sue for overreach because trump used existing laws and if any agency fails to comply they are violating presidential authority oh and guess what elon musk was given security authorizations and top secret classified access he now has oversight of every
major federal system so democrats the deep state they can't shut it down without rewriting multiple federal laws man that last but first of all yes and there's even all this video of president obama and then vice president um biden you know boasting about this boasting about how great this was going to be and we're going to take care of it and we're going to solve everything but it's that last bit that has people so spun up even you know you know who was who
was out there hammering on me amazing polly what did amazing polly have to say well so this is what i i knew this already but this time was when you go on rogan you're not on rogan you're not done when you walk out the studio no no that's when it all starts then people make clips out of the studio yeah people make clips and just that there's a lot of stuff going on and i there's and there's a lot you know just because of the things i discussed there were a lot
of big accounts that tweeted these clips so bill ackman um he was tweeting about what because i basically laid out the of the stablecoin uh system uh i talked about um what's his face uh james o'keefe so o'keefe tweets out a piece you know there was so we got a lot of leverage out of it but when i can when someone sends me a note in email about the the rogan show i know immediately if they listened to it or if they watched it the people who watched it then
people have lost the ability to listen it's yeah well we've proven that on this show i mean but when we take our clips and the two of us both of us do the same thing we hear stuff that we wouldn't have heard if we watched it just gets so incredibly bad when it's video and particularly you know a clip might not have a little bit of this is the thing i've trained myself and you know you have to go and find the original listen to the context of the clip then so rogan says what do you think of shit
coins i'm like there's only one it's bitcoin and that's it and everything else is no good and and i said you know bitcoin is it's there's a whole bunch of benefits to it but i said the way it seems to be going and then i went into my whole spiel about stablecoin how it's being put on top of treasuries and and so my my basic premise was no i'm i'm good with bitcoin but amazing poly and oh and i also said you know a lot i i said the same thing i said on this show a lot of people
are pretty spun up thinking the pay paypal mafia they're going to encapsulate us in this control grid and we're all going to be forced cancer mrna shots and i said you know i said joe these people have been on your show they seem pretty nice but a lot of people don't trust them and so what i actually was saying was the opposite of what amazing poly like oh yeah you're over these guys oh yeah they were on his show so they must be good and and i'm like did you actually listen
to what i said and no these people have lost the ability and this is why we are the best podcast in the universe is because we don't have video you kind of have to listen to the show and no one shares audio clips let's be honest about it no they don't no why are you going to share not you can see a waveform bouncing around no that's what people want on their on their tick tock and on youtube and on twitter and everywhere i got to share a video got to share
a video unless the video has big captions right on top of the video then people kind of understand what you're saying but at that point why are you even watching the video you're reading the text yeah you are so i don't know it's so you got grief oh yeah i mean there's a lot of people who like the thing you can tell the people who listen to it but it was just surprising to me that people who we respect amazing poly no yeah i've always thought she did good work no no no no all i did was lay out
what what is happening and what the strategy is with the u.s dollar and now all of a sudden i'm pro control grid so your money is controlled like no i actually said here's the and i said you know you can send a billion dollars on bitcoin to someone else in the world in 10 minutes nobody can stop it and then she her response to that is oh yeah i'm for the little man you're only for the billionaires i said it's an example you can send ten dollars that's crazy it's crazy
people are obviously she got under your skin with her interpretation of what you had to say no i'm just sad i'm sad that people are so spun up they're ready to pounce the minute they even hear something that fits with their their thinking or bias or whatever you want to call it they just and so we have this contradicts their thinking yeah well but the thing is i wasn't contradicting her thinking she didn't even know but it's perceived yeah perceived well no not even
perceived just confirming that the minute i bring up what might happen or what you know what a strategy is then it's like i'm all for it i'm just saying that people are losing their minds they're losing their minds news to you there's gambling going well i didn't expect people like amazing poly to lose their mind you know or you know or you know other people who hear something we say and like you know that guy's been anti-war and uh and austrian economics has
said that's what we are we're anti-war you couldn't be more pro-austrian economics if you're pro-bitcoin to be honest about it but the whole the whole world has gone crazy it's a little tiring it's a little time it's gone nuts it's gone nuts it's exactly what's happening they're going nuts and so people who listen to the show take their time listen while you're washing the dishes walking the dog driving in your car which i think is going to increase now everybody has
to go back to work and you don't have time to be watching videos all day long crowded highways this is why the no agenda show is good for you because it calms you down because you get a little bit of insight into what is actually being said and not all this breaking breaking breaking oh my god you're on fire alert yeah alert and with that i want to thank you for your courage say in the morning to you the man who put the c in the quid pro quo mo say hello to my friend on the other end the
one the only mr john c in the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water in the dames and the knights out there in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who don't think i'm as smart as i think i am let's see did i did i did i even get a count i don't think i got a count the is it broken i don't think it worked let me try again let me see there we go oh yeah oh wow 26 oh wow oh wow 26 ruby 2607 good yeah that's good uh that's very
good actually isn't that very good no that's well 24 is normal okay so we're it's uh it's above average it's good it's above average everybody it's very good we had at one time sometime back we had yeah yeah well this is a an odd weekend it's funny you know it's a holiday you and i don't even think about it anymore i mean i i didn't know it was i have to be reminded i mean i didn't even know it was president's day weekend until we had some friends come over last night
we went out to dinner and like what is it's busy in town what is this craziness there's people parked everywhere and and i just seen the newsletter i'm like oh it's president's day weekend and it's kind of valentine's day weekend and for us it's just normal you know i'm prepping up until five o 'clock because we're going out to dinner it's like normal business for us and i would like to say regarding the newsletter alert alert alert breaking breaking for those of you who
use uh apple of iphones ios um the you know they've done they've redone their mail uh apple mail client you would know about this i wouldn't know about it but i learned it from tina uh very similar to gmail now they automatically separate your email into promotions well so they've got four tabs at the top so if you haven't seen your newsletter it may be in a different tab now and i don't know i should also mention that you brought that apple up apple
pay works with stripe google wallet works with stripe oh really and so does bitcoin bitcoin works with stripe it looks if you look at the at this go to the page the uh no agenda donations.com and you that's a that takes you to the stripe page and you'll see the little bitcoin marker there i haven't seen anyone get anything through using it but let me see people keep complaining about oh you should do this you should do that you should do this you should do that so we do it nothing
happens i'm looking for the little bit i don't see the bitcoin thing this little bitcoin thing there there's no bitcoin thing there's i see an amex i see uh do i have to click on donate would that be it let me click on donate i'm clicking on donut uh donuts i'm clicking on don't crypto you can donate crypto yeah you have to click on donate to get the anything and then you can click on crypto and if you had if you were doing this on an iphone a little apple iphone ipay
thing would crop up but it probably didn't because you were on your computer yes of course same with the google wallet oh sexy so it's now it's even easier to support you know agenda show is that what you're saying yeah well that it's technically easier but it's going to be harder for the penny pinchers out there that don't you know that like to listen won't support the show yeah they'll talk a big game never gonna support the show talk a big game oh you know i'd do it if you did this
okay but i was about to donate but then you know you said uh you know you played a jared kushner clip so you're clearly a boomer zionist piece of crap i can't donate now i don't always agree with you it's all right this is the beauty of our show the beauty of our show is you don't have to you know it's it's called the value for value model and uh and you know if you if you get value out of the show you send it back somehow if you don't then you know you're a douchebag we try to make
it easy yeah we try to make it very easy you can do that all kinds of different ways you can support us with time and your talent which the artists always do and for the last show episode 1737 appropriately titled swastikas she thought was kind of a genius a genius title uh we got art from pickle surprise and pickle surprise won the valentine's day art which now we almost didn't pick valentine's day art because john has no love in his life at all apparently and was like oh no i don't i
don't know if we should pick valentine's day art why are we supporting that uh that commercial crap that's what i said why are we supporting this commercial crap we normally support a national holidays i do say that's true yeah but there was nothing other better than this piece i mean the piece was it wasn't as elaborate as some of the other valentine's day pieces which were really kind of busy but interesting yeah with the simplicity and the the the execution piece itself yeah it
was well done yeah and that was now i have to say i used a piece did you use the brown cheese we we both considered using the brown cheese heart which by the way turns out brown cheese comes from norway not from denmark sorry for misgendering your cheese everybody i use the like a wrecking ball piece by douglas mccartsey mick artsy yeah with doja the doge dog on it the doge dog yeah yeah yeah yeah i just thought that was dynamite now do you know what the what this wrecking ball uh
refers to yeah yeah all the commentary that were dead no that doge's the wrecking ball no no this particular sitting on the wrecking ball like that refers to miley with miley cyrus right she was on the naked on the ball oh yeah no i'm glad you remembered okay yeah we all remember that yes um there were a couple other ones let's see you you did now i like the straws kind of i like i kind of like the straws that was a little yeah i didn't like that one at all no
i like the because it didn't look like straws it just looked like something i don't know what it was like um we all loved your dream girl that was a funny one from darren which of that's all you watch all day long is people like that and by the way you you can follow along in all of the art at no agenda art generator.com you can contribute you can be a part of the of the art um contest which is is it not just a contest everyone loves looking at different pieces of art by the way some of
these wind up at no agenda shop.com on t-shirts hoodies koozies hats you name it you can even suggest something cups you can suggest it to them and and the artists actually get a piece of the action there we have no deal with no agenda shop.com they just donate from time to time uh when they uh when they feel like it's appropriate what was that was the do you like the more traditional which was it the um one of the traditional ones you like so well you kind of like
the i think i like cupid zero by pickle surprise yes yes you did like cupid zero pickle surprise and some came in late i think some came in like i hadn't i didn't see the the the heart with the straw in it that came late blue acorn um and uh the the microsoft party yeah no one will understand that but that was that was everyone's favorite bit of the last show the microsoft party they really loved your story yeah well it's a good it's a good story i mean it was a
good story somebody sent a nasty note and saying yeah this isn't the party you're full of crap this is the part and then he sent me a link to some party some software company's doing with ballmer as the as the keynoter i'm thinking this guy's nuts gotta love it um so thank you very much uh all artists we appreciate what you do in our value for value model and as always we want to thank everybody who supported us with treasure it is a key part of the value we need to keep
this show going for another three years and 10 months and or somebody said 40 more years yeah good luck with that and um you can do that of course by going to no agenda donations.com we'll mention everybody and and the amount that they supported us with 50 and above but we'd like to make a special segment here and hand out uh executive and associate executive producer credits just like hollywood where that's all we can really do hollywood style and they but they are
recognized by hollywood the fact hollywood heavyweights like dana brunetti famous from 50 shades of gray and uh house of cars dana brunetti i mean he's i mean he's produced for this show he's an associate executive producer and um and he has created a segment so and he gets credits for that so you can put it in imdb.com and if you donate two hundred dollars and above you get an associate executive producer credit good for the rest of your life and we'll read your
note three hundred dollars above an executive producer credit and we read your note we start off with topeka from kansas which sounds kind of okay so it probably might be living in topeka kansas or is it well you got the wrong i got the wrong thing here is rob move over a shell i'm sorry one cell over you'd be good to go odd robin tolbert in topeka kansas i was like why would you call yourself topeka if you're in kansas here it is robin says i started listening in june 2023 and
donating by november 2023 because the work is the worker is worth his wages and you two are absolutely worth the value that's what i'm talking about i was within 50 of making damehood and looking for an appropriate number donation this is 515 38 i should have mentioned that 515 38 and then i read about the commodore special which i think this is the last week for the commodore special no i'm gonna extend it you you're you're a push people give up on it you're
a pushover i couldn't manage it last time but i'm flush with cash at the moment so it has to be named commodore rc tolbert god's blessings on you and get more nation thank you robin we appreciate it jay calls me yeah hey what is this what why is people asking for commodore ships i said we reintroduced it like two newsletters ago does she not read the newsletter i called her out on it she didn't read the newsletter she's not listening to the show so we can say anything we want about her
now oh really and she probably even it probably doesn't even show up because you know she's an iphone user she wouldn't be caught dead with a green bubble no she's not an iphone user really oh respect respect my brennan i think is her husband well that's uh that's disappointing very disappointing i mean mimi at least listens live sometimes it was live that's but unfortunately she only listens live no too much work sir don by the way is in owensboro kentucky he's up next with
5 15 38 sir donna the candanavian nancy nichols happy valentine's day commodore donald bartholomew adam reach out to liberty tree podcast i'm sorry i read it that way but that's no that's what it says what it says they would benefit from your value for value guidance the liberty tree podcast could benefit from the value for value guidance that would be uh means they need to lecture uh no jingles no karma nsdq blue skies it's interesting 15 38 i have no idea he's a good
comma you got a commodore ship and i don't know what else it's very interesting people will actually email me or cc me on email to a podcaster and say you know um i'm introducing you to adam curry he has great sound i'm sure he'll help you out yeah like no like okay paul fellner is in mitchell south dakota 515 38 that is another commodore ship i see no note for paul is there any note i don't have a note from him either i don't know what he's gonna have to come in late well i'm gonna give him a
double up karma then just for good measure you've got double up karma i like the fact that everyone who took the commodore ship and there's three of them today uh we'll put an announcement together for all of them later not in today's show necessarily but uh they all coughed in the uh the extra money for the uh cover the fees that's beautiful because it's 500 right they put in the 15 500 500 for the common much appreciated people much appreciated ronnie ross in burns

in the mouth you don't be a dick hey did you hear about the new non -addictive painkiller the fda approved right before rfk jr came in no but i'm sure it's addictive it's funny you say that dronavix was just approved by the fda it's an alternative to opioids because makers say it's not addictive family doctor nita bajor is joining us now she's from oakview medical i just want to mention this doctor is decked out brand new lab coat fresh fresh out of the out
of the pr wardrobe closet she's got her stethoscope on which is all it's um it's bejeweled what do you call it bedazzled she's she's she's got a name tag she got stuff all like like almost like metals this is just she's just completely decked out associates here in greenville thanks for joining us today thank you for having me by the way wasn't it greenville didn't we hear from someone that greenville is where they test all these like new food and new medications remember that
they call that but there are places around the country where that i think it was greenville yeah dora is joining us now she's from oakview medical associates here in greenville thanks for joining us today thank you for having me how does it work so it's brand new it inhibits the um receptor for there's a specific receptor in the pain pathway that it inhibits and thereby lowers the pain signal for the patient so it's used mainly for acute pain would you say it's just as
effective as an ibuprofen or like how does it compare to other pain medication i think in the studies they compared it to um placebo and a hydrocodone acetaminophen which is kind of one of the traditional pain medications and they found that it was more efficacious and pretty good in relieving acute pain more efficacious than placebo okay okay so it works i mean i think that's what people really want to hear it works it works acute pain so okay so it works i mean i
think that's what people really want to know right are there any side effects um as with others i mean i think the concern is because it's not an opioid is it going to also cause um addictive or dependence potential and that let's see as uh the clinicians start using it more and more we need uh real life data what um to help us with that but um supposed to be pretty well tolerated we'll just see how it pans out what wait a minute so wait a minute the fda has approved this
but we how many people did you test yeah i think i read it up on the studies and it said it was tested on a couple hundred people but again you really need it to be given to millions of people oh yeah just give it to everybody we'll find out later yeah lab rats that's what you are people lab rats see what any side effects because you know we have patients with many multiple uh chronic conditions and so uh when we introduce a medication we're always monitoring and educating our patients so
safety comes first safety comes first by testing it on you it comes first all right well we look forward to seeing how effective it is and having another option besides opioids absolutely i think hopefully we're excited about it so all right thank you dr major we're excited about it this rfk jr stop this immediately that is not okay that is not okay um i have a couple of uh truth wanna come wants to come out uh very short clips uh we start with um the mayor of philadelphia you'll recall she is
well known for her yeah she's she's just yeah she can't talk she can't catch your break nothing is possible when we work together nothing is possible and then we have uh congress uh congresswoman iana presley we are all willing to work with anyone who's serious about doing the work of censoring the american people and advancing progress okay censoring the american people and advancing progress yeah that makes sense it's amazing these people just say what they
really mean what did what did she even intend to say what what word did she mean instead of censoring yeah you know i heard that clip's a week old and i almost had it for the show but i and i was trying to decode it too and i couldn't come up with anything i have no idea what she might have been thinking censoring the american people um i i can't it doesn't i don't know i'm the same reaction you have yeah somebody out in the somebody in the troll room should know
should be able to it just takes it just takes a breakthrough in thinking to get them no they're just trying to say they just said she's a they're playing she's an npc they've got no other explanation for she wasn't supposed to that could be she wasn't supposed to speak um new details on the unfortunate crash between the black hawk hell black hawk helicopter and the uh regional jet um although this report kind of made me mad the way they characterized it um and i
also don't know if this is actually what happened or this is the the full reason for but there are there are two reasons that we're hearing now one is i didn't want to get any of this but since you brought it up i i after you play the clip i do have a question uh just kind of a uh rhetorical question all right good all you can ask the questions and the pilot will answer this particular flight was a check ride for the pilot flying the black hawk generally a check ride
is a practical exam that a pilot must pass to be qualified to perform specific air crew or mission duties the army does three types of check rides by the way you'll hear the term cvr that is cockpit voice recorder instrument annual and night vision goggles the helicopter crew was likely wearing night vision goggles throughout the flight the ntsb says the helicopter pilots had an altitude discrepancy and weren't aware of how high they were this video shows
the helicopter crashing into the passenger jet around 8 45 january 29th the american airlines flight from wichita kansas was cleared for landing after a last minute but routine runway change audio from air traffic control reveals the military pilot acknowledged he saw the jet approaching the runway today investigators revealing a potential technical glitch 17 seconds before impact a radio transmission from the tower was audible on both cvrs directing the black hawk to pass behind the crj the
portion of the transmission that stated pass behind the may not have been received by the black hawk crew transmission was stepped on by a point eight second mic key from the black hawk and ntsb investigators say the preliminary report could take up to 30 days but the full report could take up to a year before it's released so the only thing before you ask your question the only thing that really makes me mad is it was not a glitch um when you key up the mic then you don't hear anything but
yourself speaking so they may have keyed up and stepped on the transmission but that's not a glitch that's just unfortunate and at 0 .8 second that's like someone just clicked on and then heard probably heard that there was a message coming in and then let go right away the appropriate response would have been say again but that didn't happen your question a couple of things um why are these communication systems half duplex what specific in this day and age what specific reason are they
half duplex because if they were full duplex it wouldn't matter we keyed up or not well it's uh it's legacy there's also a separate issue a distance is another so the i believe the military um uses amplitude modulation and everyone else uses uh frequency modulation am fm they also use different bands uh which by itself is a problem because they don't the aircraft don't hear each other but they both hear what the tower says because the power the tower broadcasts on both frequencies um
it's legacy it's pure legacy um and full duplex would require digital i think i don't think you can no wouldn't well you you'd be sending and receiving you'd be sending in on one frequency you don't have to be it could be offsets there's offsets it's like going to a repeater there's lots of ways of doing it but it's beside but the question is legacy is not an excuse for this kind of technology repeat half duplex are you kidding me hold on a second repeaters
aren't uh aren't if you're talking on a repeater you're you're not you're not able to have someone else speak at the same time okay well let's just ignore that what i said there the point is that there's no reason in the world you can't have full duplex communication in this day and age i think there is i i don't think it's very what i can talk on the phone is full duplex an old-fashioned telephone with a carbon microphone yeah well if you want to have a very long string attached to
your aircraft that would work i can do it with a wireless phone if i'm on a wireless phone or if i'm on a cell phone i can hear you talking and i'm well i'm talking how's that different i don't know why you're defending this uh i i'm defending it because i don't think it's technically feasible if everybody i mean that when you have a duplex phone call you have a full-time connection so you can't have everybody having a full-time connection i it technically i don't think it's that feasible john
i really don't i mean i understand i'd like to hear from somebody out there as a radio expert even though you're a general yes i think it is feasible and i don't understand why they have this this whole idea that the thing clicked on for a second when when did you have a ham radio conversation was full duplex that wasn't digital never i've had plenty of conversations on a telephone yes but i'm not hearing anybody else's phone they're all separate they're all in separate
channels they're all doing it using the cell system i don't see how this can't be done with airplanes one call at a time you can't have 20 calls open with everybody at the same time how many transmitters do you want if so if the tower is transmitting i think it should go to it does go to everybody if they're if they're not keyed up well you're now the new faa administrator because you're asking for something which i don't think is technically feasible in the
setting of aviation i would like to hear from others it just doesn't make sense to me that we're this is the technology that's so old it's ludicrous and you yourself defended it as legacy which indicates is old it's functional the legacy part is really the am am versus fm for distance upgrade i just don't i mean all right well we have plenty of smart people who can tell us how it would be possible i don't think it's possible in a multi-station setting you can have a full duplex with one person
but you can't have a full duplex with 10 planes i just don't see how that then you're all no i don't see that working what is your other question that uh that what i well the other question was it seems to me that the whole thing is because of the bad altimeter yes i don't like to emphasize that who is the manufacturer no no no no that's that's that's not how it works the when you are flying in airspace um the tower oh actually there's a you can tune to the atis
so there's a special frequency you can listen to the the current uh weather conditions at the airfield and they will give you a altitude pressure number standard is 29.9 um and so if the if the pressure is higher or lower then you'll have maybe it'll be uh 30.1 or 30.2 and that and that's the only way you can determine your altitude from my understanding they both they had two different uh altitude indications which means they both either didn't listen to the
uh to the current setting or the current uh broadcast of the current barometric uh pressure was wrong but that doesn't make a lot of sense for the it's it's a big cock up is what it is and here's another one why are we having military training exercises in what in and around the most busy airport in the world well that i can't answer i i don't think it's a good idea either other than that they were flying a continuity of government mission which would be which would require this and then there's
also the night vision goggles which i think reduces your field of view from like 75 with your peripheral vision to 40 but you know we may never know that's what they said we won't know for another year at least and then we'll all have forgotten about it as it usually goes and we may never actually get the full details because the military doesn't like to talk about it so africa news you gotta do this once in a while what's africa news african leaders are
meeting in ethiopia this weekend for their annual summit with conflicts in the democratic republic of congo and sudan topping the agenda heavy fighting continues in both countries in the drc rebels have seized another strategic city in the east emmanuel agunza reports from nairobi african leaders arrived in addis ababa ethiopia as rwanda backed m23 rebels have seized bukavu the second largest city in eastern democratic republic of congo amid heavy fighting with the congolese army in sudan the
national army continues to gain ground against the paramilitary rapid support forces with both sides refusing peace talks u.n secretary general antonio guterres who is at the african union summit has urged leaders to propose solutions to conflicts that have displaced millions several side meetings will discuss u.s president trump's freeze on foreign aid which has severely impacted american funded programs for health water and agriculture across for npr news
i'm emanuele gunza in nairobi okay i have a real problem with npr i mean they have no no problem whatsoever using a british guy you're talking like this for something that's going on in america about our own news but then the minute it's about africa they have to bring an african guy in and it's you barely understand it just isn't compelling to listen to it's bad african news ban bad african news that's what it's being called from now on i don't understand why they
do it i just don't understand it's so wrong it's wrong it's very wrong i have one more tick tock i can play this is a woman who looks like a pig she got the red hair and she's got just a right i hate to be insulting a little but she does look like a pig and uh sorry then she well she now she's gonna and she's hates mega if you're out here celebrating elon musk and his um supposed finding fraud which he's not um i better not see you at a national park this summer i better not see you
at uh any federal preserve or national monument or national park if you wear one of those red hats get out get out you know what they say the outdoors are for everyone it's not for you babe it's not for you if you are a mega fan the outdoors are not for you and national parks are not for you why because they just fired all she did it hypophora you mean i can't believe you can catch yeah not for you if you are a mega fan the outdoors are not for you and national parks are not for you why because
they just fired all probationary workers from the u.s forest service um good luck getting any bathrooms clean this summer good luck having rangers for programs good luck doing anything for our national parks because you just decided that that was fraud and that wasn't needed even though things like us8 are one percent of the budget because you don't know how to do research and you're so busy sucking up to billionaires and watching our federal lands be
opened up for oil drilling and for exploration when they should be protected you think that they're gonna do anything to protect the environment they absolutely are not because you are so far up a billionaire that you have no idea what's going on so here's the thing if i see your camper or your ginormous truck at a campground this summer at a national park campground bestie i might be confronting you i hope i don't see your red hat anywhere on the trails because you don't
deserve it the outdoors aren't for you stay inside what is the point of these threats what's wrong with these people well and by the way what is that called again when you say why what there's a phrase you use hypophora hypo hypo hypo fora with a ph hypo fora hypo fora why because that's the name i think it's a good show title is the reason why yes it's a very reasonable show title well on the just on the doge front um and i don't know this is true we have a lot
of producers in the virginia and uh maryland and dc area i keep seeing these uh real estate app maps that are being posted with every home is for sale and all these new listings is that true is my question then is that uh exceptional for all of these homes to be for sale suddenly i would like to know from our and are any of you guys selling your home that would be another question the second thing is i thought this was quite interesting i know you saw it as well about the
150 year old social security recipient which can mean several things it could be someone who's receiving on behalf and there's a lot of a lot of different things that could be but i like this one the most and i think i got this on x i'm a coder experienced coders no cobalt no no no coders with experience in cobalt no cobalt all right you're being a little a little douchey here yeah you might as well throw fortran in while you're at it yeah young coders don't okay young coders you know people
it's a legacy code when the musk when the musk claims social security is paying thousands of 150 year olds i think someone should let him know that in cobalt if a date is missing the program defaults to 1875 which is apparently when these cobalt programmers were born so if you have 2025 minus 1875 it's 150 lol you idiots um interesting we have a lot of cobalt people who listen to the show i'd love to hear about that and of course i don't think any social security date field should be empty to
start with if your birth year is not in there that doesn't make sense to me either but actually the social security number will trace back to your birthday how do you how do you figure that every number is recorded and the birth date is you to get your social security card you have to put your birth date down and it's oh yeah it's encoded in the number but how yeah there's a linkage but can you pretty sure can you decode your birth date from the social security number i've always believed you
could but i don't know that you can that's interesting what's your social security number hey won't you blow me and by the way this this thing about oh they got this all your social i could find your social security number out if i really wanted to it's out there all right you find my social security number okay i of course will confirm it with you if correct okay i'll dig around i mean you already know where i live you got a map my home with a picture you know and that's all
i'll do thanks to you thanks to you i have gotten some nice gifts i'll i'll be i'll admit you got some gifts yeah i didn't get sorry i got your uh your home address off the internet but here's a gift so now every package every box that comes if it doesn't say amazon on it i let phoebe sniff it first and then i poke it with a stick i'm not gonna open anything that you send to me i gotta get some kid in the neighborhood to open my packages hey kid yeah it's five bucks um this is the funniest
doge thing i've heard of it's up in your neck of the woods get a load of this san francisco city officials are confirming three guys claiming to be from the department of government efficiency or doge tried to enter their offices today and get info they were dressed in doge shirts wore the red mega hats according to the sheriff's office they went into these offices at city hall around noon today and demanded employees turn over digital information
the employees refused called the sheriff's office but these men left before deputies got there the sheriff's office doesn't think these people were actually representatives from doge president trump created doge when he took office in january and he has put elon musk in charge of that yeah i think it's great i like the idea that's pretty pretty clever i now in a different report i heard they had elon mask elon musk masks on which is you know would kind of be a giveaway i think
but i like i would say even the mega hat i mean can we get like a doge badge maybe that's something is there a doge badge well it's not the way they're doing it but okay they're not busting in like that they already they're in there they're already working there i'm from the doge i'm here to check your records i have two clips from npr that i've been sitting on for a while because i have a complaint oh they're they must be warm this is the polar bear de-icing uh story
that showed up uh first i heard it on on uh ntd like a month ago and then it showed up on npr a couple weeks ago polar bears spend their days jumping from ice into water so if they get all wet why doesn't their fur freeze npr science correspondent jonathan lambert reports on a new study in the journal science advances nanophysicist botel holst got interested in studying polar bear fur while watching a german quiz show in that quiz show i learned that polar bears
are invisible in infrared cameras that essentially means that they're so well insulated that their fur takes on the temperature of their frigid surroundings that's the case on land and when they jump into icy water to hunt because i had been working with anti-icing i just suddenly was very puzzled because i was thinking well how do they manage that when they get into the water they go out again why do they not get covered in ice meaning they stay cold but their fur is
largely free of ice holst who's at the university of bergen in norway initially thought that the structure of the fur itself might have some kind of de-icing properties so her team used a high-powered microscope and zoomed in on some fur but we couldn't see anything special about the polar bear hairs they just look normal but as she and her colleagues were handling the fur they noticed that it was really greasy and when they washed the fur with soap wet it and froze
it it got icy and so we realized that this was down to polar bear hair grease effectively molecular analysis of the hair grease revealed that it was chock full of certain compounds which are resistant to ice and the fur lacked a compound called squalene which is found in other marine mammals squalene it turns out has properties that make ice stick to it well this is riveting i'm glad you sat on this here's my question these polar bears have been around forever and we're just
discovering in 2025 that they have some sort of goop that goes into the fur and makes it so that doesn't freeze and has de-icing properties it take it took the year 2025 to figure this out and meanwhile we can predict climate change are you kidding me i'm with you on that but that of course is it kind of ruins the whole climate change climate change uh polar bear deal well that too because you know it's oh the poor polar bear he's standing on a on a rock of ice oh he
has to swim i just found this an insulting piece even though you thought it was boring i really got worked up about it because of this 2025 we're now discovering that polar bear grease it's got some de-icing properties and it took us this long to figure this out and we've been around polar bears for a long time unbelievable to me objection i never said it was boring but the second part wraps it up but it's not important we can say that this is what makes polar bear hair grease so efficient
in fact the team found that the squalene free fur grease performed about as well as certain kinds of pfas chemicals that have been used in ski waxes holst hopes that her research could eventually lead to things like greener ski waxes lubricants and even new de-icing fluid for airplanes all inspired by greasy polar bear fur this is great this is perfect we need to kill more polar bears to de-ice our aircraft i'm all in you don't have to kill the polar bears the
chemical structures that's what they uncovered and they could just make the stuff from at a refinery squalene is that same as squalene squalene free squalene free oh squalene free oh you know what i'm i'm outraged with you as well i think it's crazy how come we have we been afraid of polar bears by the way pretty dangerous you know they're not also they're not as cute as they look no they're nasty creatures but we do shoot them once in a while and you can get the fur and you could do whatever
you want with it but it just seems to me ridiculous that in the year 2025 they finally discover that polar bears fur doesn't freeze up like a mustache does on some dude i i i had a perfect out but it just never worked you know why because we're not full duplex that is the problem i'm gonna show my saloon by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah that'd be fab yeah if only a clean feed would do full duplex would be everything would be solved
uh we have a tip of the day and some good end of show mixes on the way of course something cool coming up on the no agenda stream but first we want to thank everybody who supported us 50 and above yes we do sir adam starts us off he's in derby uh in uk 40 140 81 he says it's a title change he's not going to be a baronet to sir adam baronet of tamriel he used some jobs karma will give you that at the end uh then nick nick mcneil 133 and he's got a birthday call out uh

responders in emergency as your no agenda fellow producers at no agenda meetups.com go there to find one near you if you can't find one start yourself it's easy i'm telling you sometimes you wanna go hang out with all the nights and days all right this is the moment in the show we determine which iso we're going to play at the very end of the show and i see you have uh three three why don't you go first today how many do you have i have two but it doesn't matter
you i always go first it's time for you yeah then go first again no i want you to go first it's a tradition up his butt nice who is that up his butt nice up his butt nice no they're doing a hell of a job it's an amazing job they're doing oh it's too bad it's uh one channel only so that one drops by default by default now we go to john's isos which one goes i guess start with damn good these boys are damn good wow wow this is this this you've got some amazing why do i even

talk a little bit about glassware glassware nice glassware so i think people should have the proper glassware when they serve alcoholic beverages i'm happy to hear this because i could not agree more uh i think we do not have good glassware here in the the curry compound so i'm very interested in this particular tip i could probably do a whole number of these but i'm going to do this one in particular because this is a this is a good one to make it really look like you know what you're doing now
i will say that i understand that you're seeing a burgundy glass a bordeaux glass all these different varieties of sautern glass they're all slightly different you can have different glasses uh the old-fashioned brandy snifter for example is passe for the last 20 years and if you pull one of those out you're a rube let's start with that so you either want a cognac glass or something but in this case we're going to discuss the the uh glenn karn scotch whiskey glass which is
the glass you everyone should have a set of these oh i have this one i think i have this one you have a glenn karn glass i think so it's a tiny glass not that tiny well and it has kind of like a bulb and then up at the top well here look it up just look up glenn karn but if you want to go to glenn karn whiskey glass dot com to find one of the vendors glenn karn is spelled g l e n c a i r n yes this is the one i have i have one yes i have a set you have a set i have two well they're designed for

it has no stems just it's like a tulip with a foot yes and this is an excellent glass and for scotch drinkers i would recommend this uh get a set of these uh six they have them everywhere everyone sells them amazon has them you can go to this website i just cited and they're here and there they can get pretty fancy but just the regular one is the one you want i feel so bad now because and tina's gonna be i don't know she's listening because i think there's some there's some
