You are in a horrible mood today. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's Sunday, April 27, 2025. This is your award-winning give-on-Asian -media assassination episode 1759. This is no agenda. Vibe coding and broadcasting live from the heart of a Texas hill country right here in FEMA region number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where they want to round up the judges. I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. In the morning.
Yeah, best, funniest thing ever. Funniest thing ever. Rounding up the judges. Oh no. It's a constitutional crisis. I love it. I have a clip. Do you have any clips of that? I got plenty of clips. Well, first I need to tell you, I don't know if you've been following the news, but there's been quite the setback in peace negotiations. This is just breaking. You're talking about this morning. Breaking big setback in peace negotiations. Yeah. Between myself and Andrew Horowitz.
Oh. He called me Saturday night. No. Yeah, Saturday night. And you hung up on him. He drunk called me. Oh, that's not good. From a party. From a party. He had a party with friends. He has these huge parties. I can see that. Hey, man. Here's someone who wants to talk to you. And he puts me on with, you know, granted, a no agenda producer. I can't believe I'm talking to you. You saved me during COVID. I'm like, oh, that's very nice of you to say.
I'm like, so did Andrew just sit there and go like, oh, I can call Currie whenever I want. She said, yeah, pretty much. That's a funny idea. Yes, I can get a hold of the big boy. I can talk to that man whenever I want. I have his number on speed dial. Yes, you've seen him on Joe Rogan. I've got him right here. Let me call him for you. He always takes my call. So he pulled a Biden. A Biden? Yes, what Hunter Biden used to do all the time. Oh, Hunter Biden, yes. But wait a minute.
Then I'm Joe Biden in that case. I don't think that's very good. Yes, that's what I'm thinking. I don't like that so much. Joe Biden. So looks like things are not over yet. Not over. Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope. Well, at least the producer got to talk to you. Yeah, she was very nice. But, you know, still, I mean, and I even say, Andrew, are you calling? Are you just, are you drunk? He said, yeah. It should have been a Saturday night is not a time to call. I should have recorded it.
That was my bad. Yeah, exactly. I should have done that. But then he'd have been really irked. You know, this is, and then we'll get to the judges. So I had this Robert, Sarah Pope pick in mind. You know, even when the Pope got sick, I was already looking around. And that was the first guy that came to mind. So I pick him on the last episode as kind of a long shot. But, you know, it's like, I think this is the guy. And now, have you seen this? He's gone viral.
He's become the anti-globalist faithful's favorite new Pope. There's articles about him everywhere all of a sudden. You know, people listen to our show. At the Gateway Pundit? Maybe. At the Telegraph? Anyone's going to listen to them. Cardinal Robert Sarafgini is exactly the kind of anti-woke Pope that many conservatives... That means the likelihood of him getting it is less. It's just less. In fact, I have some Pope... Well, let's start with that stuff. I got some Pope analysis. All right.
Let's start with... You're a little low on volume today. I'm going to crank you up. Boost me. Boost, boost, boost. You're boosted. Consider yourself boosted. All right. Let's start with just the plain clips, which would be PayPal event and Trump report. PBS. Before paying his respects at the coffin, President Trump sat down with Ukraine's President Zelensky for the first time since their rancorous confrontation in the Oval Office two months ago.
Trump reportedly pressured Zelensky to accept a plan in which Ukraine will formally surrender territory occupied by Russia, including the Crimean Peninsula, as well as granting the United States an enormous stake in Ukraine's mineral wealth. As far as the White House is concerned, this is the only feasible deal. On the ex-social media platform, Zelensky described the meeting as very symbolic and potentially historic.
Thanking Trump, he said he was hoping for results on everything covered in their discussions, protecting the lives of Ukrainians, a full and unconditional ceasefire, and a reliable and lasting peace that would prevent another war from breaking out. But in a post on his Truth Social network, President Trump launched a broadside against Russia's Vladimir Putin. He said there was no reason to shoot missiles into civilian areas.
It makes me think, he said, that maybe Putin doesn't want to stop the war and is just tapping me along. When Trump emerged into St. Peter's Square, he was met with silence. The contrast with Zelensky's appearance could not have been greater. Warm applause greeted the Ukrainian president as he took his seat. And then the grand ceremony began in earnest, with the coffin carried from the Basilica into the Square. The congregation was addressed by 91-year-old Italian Cardinal Giovanni Battista Rea.
In this majestic St. Peter's Square, where Pope Francis celebrated the Eucharist so many times and presided over great gatherings over the past 12 years, we are gathered with sad hearts in prayer around his mortal remains. I was reminded by our resident Catholic Void Zero, it is pronounced Sarah. Sarah. Sarah. Not Sarah. Okay, Sarah, Sarah. Pope Sarah, Sarah. So, there's one thing in that clip, and everybody reporting on this said... About the applause for Zelensky and no applause for Trump.
No, actually that was only reported by PBS. Of course. Everybody reported on Trump's post and without question they said, I think he's tapping me along. Tapping me? Was that in the post? Tapping me along? Yeah, it's in the post. Everybody read it. It's in that clip. What does that even mean? And no one's questioning it. It's like, what phrase... Where does this come from? Is that code for something we don't know about? Maybe it's something he told...
Don't worry, Putin, when I use the word tapping, we're not tapping out. Hmm. I just found it peculiar that nobody and you included right now... Well, I thought it was a British thing. Why would Trump be using a Britishism? I don't know. I don't know. Tapping. Because the... What would the phrase be? It would be dragging me along? Tap... Stringing. Stringing, that's it. Stringing me along. Well, ChatGPT doesn't know it. ChatGPT says, what is that, a song? Tapping me along. Interesting.
And everybody read it without question. Without question, yeah. Without wondering what the hell it means or why he said tapping. It's like covfefe. It's a blurt. It's a blurt. It's a mini-blurt. It's a blurtlet. Well, it didn't work because I'm the only one who seems to have caught it. Tapping me along. So, let's go to Papal Event 2 where they wrapped us up.
This is where PBS... I mean, they slammed Trump in that first clip about, oh, you know, as long as you got applause and everyone's silent when Trump came in. You're supposed to be silent anyway. We talked about peace in Ukraine dominating the diplomatic agenda. The Cardinal reminded the throng of Francis' despair at the futility of war.
Faced with the raging wars of recent years with their inhuman horrors and countless deaths and destruction, Pope Francis incessantly raised his voice imploring peace. War, he said, is only the death of people and the destruction of homes, hospitals and schools. Then the Cardinal named what some commentators interpreted as a barbed missive at President Trump and his war on the Mexican border. This is PBS? Yeah. They got this British MI6 guy that comes every once in a while and gives his reports.
It sounds like he's doing a newsreel from World War II. Yeah. War on the Mexican border. War always leaves the world worse than it was before. It is always a painful and tragic defeat for everyone. Build bridges, not walls, was an exhortation he repeated many times. In conclusion, Cardinal Battista Rea appealed to Pope Francis in the afterlife. Pope Francis used to conclude his speeches and also his private meetings by saying, do not forget to pray for me. He used to say, like, no gays.
That's what he used to say in the private meetings. Now, dear Pope Francis, we ask you to pray for us and we ask you from heaven to bless the church, bless Rome, and bless the whole world. After communion and an invocation to the saints and martyrs, the funeral service came to an end. Before you move on to the analysis, I have three shorties I'd like to insert, if that's okay with you. It's fine with me. It's from Inside Edition. What? With Deborah Norville?
Yeah, I didn't know that Deborah Norville had been downgraded to Inside Edition. Hello? Isn't that a downgrade? She's been on Inside Edition. She's the one who saved the show after she got fired from the Today show on NBC. I completely forgot. 20 years ago. Yeah, well, there you go. I forgot about it. Here's her report that she filed. Hello, everybody, and thank you for joining us as we broadcast today from Vatican City.
The funeral of Pope Francis will be taking place right here tomorrow at St. Peter's Square. 130 foreign delegations are confirmed to attend, including 50 heads of state and 10 reigning sovereigns. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump will be here, along with former President Joe Biden, all to say their final farewells to the People's Pope. The People's Pope. Did you know that he was the People's Pope? I think I may have heard that before. It doesn't sound right.
He wasn't the People's Pope. He was the woke Pope. He definitely was the woke Pope. The Pope's lying in state came to an end today as the last of the mourners filed past his coffin. Pope Francis would have loved this moment when a lone little girl said her farewell. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump left for the funeral today, praising the pontiff. I met him twice. I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy. Hey, he wasn't a great Pope. He was a fantastic kind of a guy.
He was a kind of a guy, you know? That's how gangsters talk about each other. He was a fantastic kind of a guy. I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy. Seating arrangements could be complicated. I spoke with CBS Evening News. Hold on a second. Inside Edition does have some producers that I never heard that clip from Trump saying that's a clip you want to use. It's great. It's fantastic. That's why I'm playing the clips. But Inside Edition has done this. They had the little girls part.
I didn't know about that either. Well, scripted, clearly. Well, hello. But having a good soundbite is always a winner, especially if it's off. The three mainstream networks, everything they do is almost identical. I know. I was finished. I'm sorry. That's okay. I thought he was a fantastic kind of a guy. Seating arrangements could be complicated. I spoke with CBS Evening News co-anchor John Dickerson. The President of the United States and First Lady will be here.
I understand also former President Biden will be attending. What challenges, if any, does that propose? At ceremonies like this, former presidents usually put away all of their past acrimony, and so you would expect that here. One would hope that tradition would hold in the behavior of the two past presidents, but tradition has been taking a bit of a pounding recently. Oh, tradition has been taking a bit of a pounding recently. Really? One example?
None. None. None. But this little ditty was also something I don't think showed up anywhere but on Inside Edition. The funeral is a security nightmare. These strange looking weapons are drone busters. Did you see the drone busters? Yeah, they showed a lot of pictures of them. Oh, they were showing it? Okay. They jammed the signal to a drone. There's also an extraordinary media operation underway in preparation for Saturday's historic funeral. I spoke with ABC News 2020 co-anchor Deborah Roberts.
This is a pope who touched people around the globe. They call him the people's pope. And this is a man who really just embraced anybody, the poor, the least among us. He embraced everybody, the people's pope. He was literally pulling his hands away from people. Remember that? He's like, don't touch me, you dirty pleb. I remember. I remember these things. The people's pope. All right. That's it. That's all I got. Just a little intermezzo there for you.
I have a list that I was sent of all the bad things this guy did in terms of traditional Catholicism. Like appointing fake cardinals in China, for instance? Yeah, well, letting the Chinese government pick the cardinals. Well, there you go. Named pro-LGBT clergy as cardinals. Honored Martin Luther, who broke up the Catholic, you know, just basically began the whole Protestantism thing. And he honored him. There you go. Which is like, what?
He criticized large Catholic families who breed like rabbits, quote unquote. I forgot that one. Stop breeding like rabbits! Which is like, you know, now we have this population decline of Western civilization. Isn't it helping? Well, he was the globalist pope. That's why. He was the, you'll own nothing and you'll be happy. Oh, wait, that was the other pope. That was Schwab. Pope Schwab. Approved Holy Communion for adulterers. Oh, no. Shocking. Shamed Catholics into taking the COVID shot.
That was a big one. What's the one he's got on here? This list is a mile long. I'm going to find a couple of gems. There's one I'm looking for, which is where he promoted depopulation of the world. Promoted depopulation. Relentlessly belittled traditional Catholics as backwards, rigid, self -absorbed, told an atheist journalist that sinful souls are not punished. He didn't think there was a hell. It ushered in a kind of a Marxism model. He goes on, I told Muslims to stay Muslim.
Do your thing, man. The list is a mile long. It's just like one thing after another. And therefore the people's pope. The people's pope. I think we're on. Do we went to clip two? The analysis. Also from PBS, which is always on target. John Allen has covered the Vatican for 30 years. He's editor of Crux, an online site that covers the Vatican and the Catholic Church. Crux? Is that the name of the site?
Crux. John, practically all the cardinals who are eligible to vote, that means the cardinals who are under the age of 80, were at today's funeral. They'll be in Rome leading up to the conclave. In those days, are they going to be talking to each other, either formally or informally, about who they might see as the next pope? Oh, absolutely they'll be talking to one another about who they see as the next pope. That is, after all, the business they have been called to Rome to perform.
And so in these daily meetings of cardinals, where they're meeting every morning, called the general congregation meeting, some of that is procedural, but some of it allows cardinals the opportunity to talk to one another about what they see as the issues facing the Church, to sort through where the Church stands and where these cardinals believe it needs to go. Specifically at this time right now, what are some of the considerations the cardinals will be thinking about?
I think fundamentally, the issue that's facing every conclave is do you want to keep going in terms of the papacy that just ended, or do you want to try something else? But beyond that, there is a complicated sort of bushel basket full of issues they'll be looking at. Bushel basket full? That's an odd way of putting it. A bushel basket full.
Sort of bushel basket full of issues they'll be looking at from geopolitics, where we're entering an era where old alliances seem to be falling apart and new ones are coming into view, and they'll want somebody who can steer the Church safely through those storms, to internal Church debates over contentious matters such as women and outreach to the LGBTQ plus community, to more broad social concerns such as migration and climate change and poverty relief. All papal things. Climate change. PBS.
That's another offensive thing. PBS, the papal broadcast system. So, now that there's a kind of a kicker in the second part, I thought this second clip is quite entertaining. It talks about peace in Ukraine dominating the diplomatic agenda. No, you're not playing anal too. Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. The viewership of the movie Conclave spiked after the news of Pope Francis' death. I think a lot of people think because they've seen the movie, they know what a conclave is.
You've written a book about conclaves. How close is it to what actually happens? I've been telling people that taking the movie Conclave as a guide to a real papal election is like taking that zany 80s Mel Brooks comedy Spaceballs as a guide to real space travel. This is old world politics where everything is far more genteel and indirect and subtle. Now, don't get me wrong, and let's not be naive. There is real political sausage being ground during this period. But this isn't the Iowa caucus.
This is politics Vatican style. How do they know that more people are watching that? No one divulges any numbers. I don't know. I just thought the Spaceballs comment was funny. It's just lame. Oh, please. It was a good comment about the movie. Of course, I didn't see the movie, so I don't know. You didn't see the movie, so you have no idea. I do know the guy at the end of the movie the pope they picked as a hermaphrodite. Well, not entirely, but yeah, close enough. You saw it? Yeah, I saw it.
We discussed it. Yes, I saw the movie. I thought it was a hermaphrodite. No, not a hermaphrodite, but had some kind of like appendix appendicitis, and the doctors went in and found that the then ultimately chosen pope had ovaries. So the pope had ovaries and a dick. That is the implication. But that's a hermaphrodite. I thought the hermaphrodite means you have both sex organs as well. It wasn't clear from the movie, and that was, quite frankly, a disappointment. It seems like a long way.
The movie sounds like a shaggy dog story. No, it's like they literally inserted that nonsense at the end for no good reason. It was like the big it was almost like Madame Butterfly. Oh, it's a girl! Or boy. Whatever it was. It's a boy. It wasn't a girl, it's a boy. Yeah, it was just like, eh. It was completely unnecessary for the rest of the movie. Really? So they didn't need a punchline at all? I don't think they needed a punchline. Certainly not that one. It made no sense.
Well, I like this baseball's analysis. There's a third clip here which is misspelled paper. I got two Ps on it. Do cardinals go into the conclave with a candidate in mind or a group of candidates, likely candidates in mind? Often cardinals do file into the Sistine Chapel with a fairly strong sense for whom they intend to cast their vote.
I mean, bear in mind, the last two conclaves, that is, the conclave of 2005 that elected Pope Benedict XVI and the conclave of 2013 that elected Pope Francis, both of those were over in about a day and a half. Now, that would be completely impossible if it weren't for the fact that a number of cardinals had made up their minds before they actually went into the Sistine Chapel about which way they wanted to go.
I know you said this isn't the Iowa caucuses, but is it possible to handicap the potential popes, the likely people who could be pope? Well, you know, there's an old Roman saying that he who enters a conclave as a pope exits as a cardinal, meaning sometimes getting that kind of talk does you more harm than good, but that said, we can look at the reputations cardinals have held over the years, the significance of the positions, that is, the jobs that they have held.
One odds-on favorite, and somebody who certainly will get a very serious look, would be Italian Cardinal Pietro Paterlain, who was the Secretary of State, that is, the top aide and the top diplomat under Pope Francis, who would be seen as somebody who would, in some ways, carry forward the Francis legacy, but is an extraordinarily stable, careful, measured man, and given what's happening in the world, that's a prescription I think a number of cardinals might find attractive.
Yeah, they're supposed to listen to the Holy Spirit, they're not supposed to be politicking.
Well, the funny thing is the irony of that guy's last comments was that if you enter as the Pope, which he now just named somebody who entered as the Pope, Pietro guy, who I thought would be the guy I picked, would not make it, and so the same would hold true for the Seurat guy that you picked, because he's getting a lot of ink For a whole bunch of reasons, I got a lot of emails about my Pope pick, but everyone would be very happy, which, you know, makes me wonder.
But that's my pick, I'm standing by it, that's what I gotta do. Yeah, I think your pick is a great pick, to be honest about it, and he's old, he's not going to be there forever, so he's got, oh, he got the black guy in, he won't be here for long. I mean, they won't even let Cardinals under 80 vote for the Pope, and this guy's 80. No, no, up to 80, as far as, you can't, not over 80s, I don't think you can vote if you're 80 and older.
No, that's what I meant, you can't, when you're 80 and older, you can't vote for the Pope. So how can you be the Pope? It makes no sense. And I've heard this guy talk admittedly only in French, oh man, he's another one of these, or a little, a little, he doesn't, how about a Pope with a clear voice? I think that Saraguy is a, or Seurat, I think he speaks about four languages, I think he speaks Italian, French, English, French, Italian, and Papal. Latin? I don't know. Three or four. Fluently.
We'll see. All eyes are on Vatican now now we go into the the big smoke thing I'm gonna be waiting for the smoke the smoke the smoke yeah it's good branding though when you think about it those guys they know how to brand themselves you know you burning up the the lots and then mixing it with the chemical to be black or white smoke I mean that that's that's pretty awesome yeah I had a meme about it on the in a newsletter you probably missed it I did I'm sorry I was out I
had to never change now did you send another newsletter did you send a yeah I sent a second note because we only had because things had fallen off the cliff and so I had to send out the emergency plane text uh did the would you get stuff get trapped in the in the in the in the spans I don't think it might have been a little bit but I don't think that was the cause I think it was just a lull hmm April it's always April um there were a couple of interesting terms in this uh ABC report is
from your girl Martha Raddatz or what do we call now Radnitz Martha Radnitz this is uh the continuation because oh lord we need to continue with signal gate but listen to these terms we're gonna get the latest now on the controversy surrounding defense secretary Pete Hegseth new security questions raised from his use of a commercial messaging app for sensitive commercial messaging app signal is a non-profit first of all I just and it comes back a couple times the commercial I've heard this too
I've heard this comment too they use that term yeah which is specifically what they want what they're trying to imply is that this is some off-the-shelf bonehead product that anyone can pick up and as opposed to a secretive government system that can only be used by you know spies and spooks by Rocky and Bullwinkle yeah security questions raised from his use of a commercial messaging app for sensitive national security communication chief global affairs anchor
Martha Raddatz tracking that story good morning Martha hello good morning George this morning more alarming news out of the pentagon sources tell ABC that defense secretary Pete Hegseth accused the then acting chairman of the Joint Chiefs Admiral Chris Grady of leaking information to the press the sources say Hegseth was shouting at Admiral Grady after a story appeared about Elon Musk's possible top secret briefing by the Joint Chiefs on China the Wall Street Journal first to report
that Hegseth demanded proof from Admiral Grady that he didn't leak the story yelling I'll hook you up to a expletive polygraph and this morning Hegseth's press spokesman denying that the defense secretary had the commercial app signal on a personal computer inside his pentagon office sources told ABC that the computer hold on a second hold on a second now this was the the last report we got was it was on his personal phone now she's saying he was running signal the commercial app on his
computer inside the pentagon yeah this has been a change in uh in narrative that's a big change the narrative's been changed there's a couple of things and they also left out the fact that according to uh the guy who's the uh chief uh national security advisor for trump um it was a spook was told by the CIA this is the the product to use this is the one to use yeah and so he was using on his computer now you can use signal on your computer sure but this looks like me
and my text messaging i do everything on the computer use google voice texting because i can type away i don't have to poke away my thumbs and get you know you don't have to extract your phone from your drawer let's be honest that's so right denying that the defense secretary had the commercial app signal on a personal computer inside his pentagon office sources told abc that the computer was connected to an unsecured commercial line what is known as a dirty line since it does
not have a dirty line yes this entire show operates on a dirty line firewall protection oh whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on a second let me hear that again commercial line what is known as a dirty line since it does not have firewall protection all this firewall protection that's kind of skipping along uh okay as we've learned this morning from sources that hegseth's chief of staff has now departed the pentagon joe casper will now take on a part-time advisory role in the government
we are told casper's departure follows the dismissal of top aides to hegseth those aides were escorted out of the building by security george and so now now comes another piece of information it sounds like pete hegseth is taking a page out of the john c dvorak handbook yeah real exodus there meantime the new york group of times reported just moments ago that these phone numbers well it's not an exodus if you're kicked out the real exodus there they're not leaving on their own accord
they're they're being kicked out no i think one of them quit okay well then it's not a real exodus yeah real exodus there meantime the new york group of times reported just moments ago and he used the exodus yeah in exodus is it three or four guys in exit with 245 people left walked out the same day i would call that an exodus yes yeah real exodus there meantime the new york times reported just moments ago that these phone numbers that uh hegseth was
using were actually available online oh oh like google phone he had a google phone number like you john google just found online yeah george you know any personal phone is vulnerable especially if you are the defense secretary foreign adversaries would like those numbers and those numbers are pretty easy to find and hegseth had highly sensitive information on his phone in those signal chats hold on a second yeah so i have your phone number yeah and you
have highly sensitive information on your phone yeah what do i do call you up and say hey hey push that let me walk you through some process here so you can send me all that information i mean what does that got to do with anything you got his phone number of so what yeah well if you're huawei you're in the system four and a half if you're huawei this is true you could probably this might be a back door into the phone that if you have the number you need the number
to get into the back door or if you or if you have the database that the nsa maintains and you need to just give them the number and they cough back every message you've ever done or received that's different i think what we can conclude is that this reporting is very flimsy they're using all kinds of adjectives to try and hype it up with commercial app and dirty phone line and found the numbers online this is just exactly what it was always intended to be is some form of railroading for the
military industrial complex or the neocons or whoever wants hegseth out foreign adversaries would like those numbers and those numbers are pretty easy to find hey pete can i have your digits and hegseth had highly sensitive information on his phone in those signal chats about the attack plans in yemen highly sensitive okay well there you go martha raddatz on the beat everybody the world is safe abc's got issues yeah i think they're more compromised than cbs yeah i was trying to clip some of the
latest on the media from npr your buddy yeah yeah it's it was very difficult because they're just talking about how um brendan carr the new fcc commissioner how he's going after them and i think is it uh nbc has a 20 billion dollar lawsuit against it and or cbs from trump 20 billion dollar lawsuit yeah that's been going that's ongoing i know and like and we're also in an investigation this is the problem with the report we're under investigation because uh the fcc believes
that we're we don't have underwriting we have we're doing commercial messages and then they they went on to have no examples or even explain what the difference is it was very disappointing i was ready to clip a whole bunch but it just didn't happen anyway so well yeah the hegseth is under fire and he's i don't think he's handling it well no he should be more glib and less angry yes so um we don't know exactly what was discussed uh we had the president meeting with zelensky which was kind of a
cool move where you had that huge room i presume somewhere in vatican city and they put two chairs right in the middle and there's uh zelensky's hanging out with macron and you know he's doing his little uh tete -a-tete and then trump comes in they sit down and i guess i have some analysis of this well i'll play the news report first president trump meeting face to face with ukrainian president zelensky saturday at saint peter's basilica the two discussing a ceasefire deal zelensky
sounding confident after the meeting posting he's hoping for results and ultimately a full and unconditional ceasefire after the meeting president trump strongly rebuking president putin on true social accusing russia's leader of tapping him along and saying quote maybe he doesn't want to stop the war adding if the missile attacks continue on ukraine he may be forced to impose sanctions on russia the growing frustration from the president comes after
his special envoy steve witkoff and russian president vladimir putin met face to face for the second time friday the meeting lasting three hours and being called constructive and a step in the right direction but so far neither side has agreed to a ceasefire and president trump saying this friday about a deadline i have my own deadline and we want it to be fast and the prime minister is helping us he wants it to be fast too so we have a deadline and after that we have a we're gonna have a very
much different attitude yeah he has his own deadline he's got his own deadline he's got so she dropped the tapping along also yes comment this is actually what do you call that when something does not show up in google we had a word for that back in the day what's that word google wash was no no no not google wash no if it doesn't show up in google then it has a term that doesn't happen very often but this tapping along is one of those phrases it does google nothing no search
engine knows about it that's that's interesting all right your npr analysis well let's start with the uh first of all the tapping along here with the uh the trump vatican zelensky npr clip which is the kind of what you played but this is a their version president trump is back in the u.s after his very brief trip to vatican city to attend pope francis's funeral as npr's depa shivaram reports while there he met with ukraine's zelensky the meeting between trump and zelensky took
place in saint peter's basilica shortly before the funeral program began the white house hasn't released any detail of the conversation between the two leaders but trump posted on his social media platform truth social and said he thinks russian leader vladimir putin might be quote tapping me along and doesn't want to end the war he was critical of russia's attacks on civilian areas and floated the idea of sanctions against russia but provided no further detail trump is
spending the rest of the weekend at his golf club in bedminster new jersey depa shivaram npr news okay that's pretty straightforward they get tapping along comes up again and it's straightforward they don't talk about you know big applause for zelensky and booed trump and so now we go to an analysis uh and they bring in this guy mcfall you see if you see this guy he's got this dour quality to him he used to be an ambassador i think is a spook uh he um trump hater to the core and so
you're gonna so he's gonna be biased and he's gonna see nothing good going on but everything that trump did that he thought was positive he does say but it's all you know kind of neoliberal crap but here we go president trump met with ukraine's president vladimir zelensky at the vatican this morning a photo shows the two leaders sitting face to face huddled together in seemingly deep conversation on the sidelines of pope francis's funeral the white house says the two had quote a very productive
discussion and on social media earlier today president trump criticized his russian counterpart writing quote there was no reason for putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas it makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war he's just tapping me along this all comes a day after u.s envoy steve witkoff met with president putin in moscow to discuss a possible end to the war in ukraine here to talk about what all of this high-level diplomacy means is michael mcfall
he served as the former u.s ambassador to russia during the obama administration and is currently the director of the freeman spogli institute for international studies at stanford university welcome thanks for having me let's start with this meeting what do you make of the meeting what do you make of the fact that afterward trump posted on social media criticizing vladimir putin not vladimir zelensky well i'm glad they had the meeting anytime they can meet especially one
-on-one without cameras without staff that's always a good thing without cameras president zelensky gets to explain his position directly to president trump the reaction from president zelensky on social media was very positive and other staff people have said positive things and as you just noted president trump also did criticize putin he suggested that maybe he's not serious about peace and that there should be sanctions and that's in my view a correct assessment of where putin
has been so far and that would be a correct prescription to try to put pressure on russia something president trump and his team have never done yeah even bolton came out and went oh this is good this is good whenever these guys are all on the same side they're all putin haters trump haters and so when trump looks like he's standing up to putin this is great yeah and if he got closer and like started threatening a war it'd be even greater and if we bombed iran that would be fabulous these
guys would be all over themselves all over yeah nice yeah all right onward sorry but i'd also point out that president trump sounds always tough on social media and says a lot of things rhetorically and very rarely follows up with concrete actions when we're talking about pressure on putin pressure on russia trump said yesterday he thinks ukraine and russia are close how do you read that what do you think is happening in the coming weeks do you think this war could end i'm not
sure i worry that putin is not serious about ending this war i think putin thinks time's on his side trump and his team will eventually get frustrated and walk away they'll cut military assistance to ukraine and that's all in putin's favor for continuing the war and to try to conquer the territory on the ground that he is already annexed uh on paper uh you buy a map in russia today and it has four of those regions of ukraine as part of the russian federation
curious what your best realistic read is right now and not what you would like to see but what you think is realistic well i would disconnect two different things that get conflated there's a cease-fire and then there's a permanent peace agreement to end the war and i think those are two very different things i think most immediately getting a cease -fire uh and even if it has to be a minimum one getting a cease-fire that both sides say we are not going to attack civilian targets that would be a
great achievement for the ukrainians remember putin constantly every day and just a few days ago again in their capital of is attacking civilian targets i call that terrorism uh that would be great to end and then that moment if you got to a cease-fire could create the permissive conditions for a longer negotiation that i think could go on for months if not years about some permanent peace settlement and i'm not optimistic they would ever get it but at least the war would stop
without forcing zelensky to acknowledge annexation and i think tragically that's probably the best outcome uh google whack that was the term i never i don't recall that term yes google whack it's a google whack tapping along is not found in a google search it is a google whack so okay so we have all that taking place but meanwhile the president is definitely saying that it appears like there are already some terms that have been negotiated particularly
when it comes to crimea steve witkoff president trump's special envoy met with russian president vladimir putin friday for a fourth time to discuss a peace deal with ukraine russia and ukraine i think they're coming along we hope very fragile the president said he's not placing a deadline on the talks but wants to get something done as quickly as possible we're going to try and get out of war so that we can save 5 000 people a week i think i think we're pretty close
russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov told cbs news faced the nation moderator margaret brennan he agreed with trump's assessment that talks are moving in the right direction but wouldn't discuss details we are really polite people and unlike some others we never discuss in public what is being discussed in negotiations otherwise negotiations are not serious no a major sticking point in negotiations is crimea seized by russia in 2014 in a new interview with time magazine president trump said
crimea will stay with russia but ukrainian president vladimir zalinsky says he cannot accept that because it goes against his country's constitution both president zalinsky and trump will be in rome for the pope's funeral on saturday where the president says it's possible that they'll talk oh so now all of us it's like zalinsky they just keep telling him no just keep keep it going whatever they want just say no i can't do that i can't have elections
because that's uh unconstitutional but i can't give up crimea because that goes against our constitution there there is no uh they have no intention of a truce i don't see it i really don't see that we're getting accurate information well that's what i don't see now like a good businessman running our country president trump has put a hedge in place and he sent little marco down to africa or over to africa to take care of the deal the democratic republic of congo and rwanda
have signed what they're calling a pathway to peace in a u.s brokered agreement as the rwanda-backed m23 keep up gaining ground the congo found it crucial to accept the offer made by the u.s a necessary step towards peace taken with resolve and purpose this moment carries particular weight for the democratic republic of the congo in goma in bukavu and beyond the declaration of principles rwanda says opens the door to a definitive deal our common aim is to conclude a comprehensive peace
agreement as soon as possible but there are no shortcuts or quick fixes and we have to do the hard work to get it done right once and for all the long simmering tensions between the two neighboring countries have led to one of the world's largest humanitarian crisis yet the diplomatic breakthrough the u.s have facilitated is no accident trump's administration is in talks with kinshasa to invest billions of dollars in minerals drc is the world's largest producer of and has vast deposits such as
gold and copper i think we're looking at some rare earths coming from the drc you know we can talk about rare earths coming from here and there all we want but the problem is and it's always ignored in these reports we can't process these rare earths that's the problem it's not that china has nothing but rare earths china has a hundred percent of the world's processing capability i thought canada had some doesn't canada have processing not that i know of all i know is
that china and china we we dig up rare earths we ship it to china they process and we get it back well you don't have to get mad about it i'm mad at the fact that they keep not reporting on this okay so what we got a rare earths deal so what we can't do anything with it well what does it take to process rare earths can we start rare earth processing it does that take 100 years i think i personally i don't know but i will say what i suspect okay it's a mess yeah probably it's a dangerous
thing to do it's probably toxic as hell ruins everything around it it's got to be a laughable mess that's the only thing i can think of otherwise we'd be send it to canada that's i don't think canada is doing it they should start get rid of canada it's a great idea canada why don't you process this we'll drop all the all the tariffs but here's more evidence that i really don't believe that they want any kind of truce and nor do we because our boy over there our sales guy in uh
in the eu we all know him margaret your buddy margaret he just keeps on harping the same thing it's got to be more money more money and for a long time the kremlin says an offensive by the ukrainian army in russia's kursk region is over that emerged in a briefing between the russian president vladimir putin and the head of russia's general staff valery garasimov who said the last occupied settlement in the region had just been recaptured the plans of the kiev regime to create
a so-called strategic bridgehead and disrupt our offensive in the donbass have failed russia also confirmed for the first time that north korean soldiers have been fighting alongside russian troops in kursk the russian defense ministry released this video footage showing aerial shots and soldiers running and others issuing instructions to raise a russian flag over a village in the region ukrainian officials however say the fighting is still continuing ukraine's
general staff said the statements of representatives of the high command this is the wrong clip how come you didn't stop me well i was waiting for you to cut in with your voice the wrong clip i'm sorry nato secretary general mark rutherford all 32 member nations to devote more funds equipment and political energy to the world's largest military alliance the move comes as european countries ramp up defense spending to meet the agreed upon two percent threshold
ahead of the nato summit in the hagen june it also follows threats by u.s president donald trump of walking away from nato if europe does not increase defense spending to at least five percent of gdp here we go it has to be considerably higher than this famous two percent which we wanted to achieve by 2024 no it must be five we have seen the last couple of days countries like belgium and spain and italy saying we will reach the two percent in time for the summit so that's not 2024 but
close close but clearly with two percent we cannot defend nato territory it has to be considerably higher and i've said before you have to understand it is not enough money we can't defend you we cannot defend nato territory without the right amount of monies it has to be considerably north of north north ruta insists the increase in spending is to ensure nato's safety and not just match the u
.s he added that the alliance must be fully competent and ready to weather any storm particularly against one common threat what could that common threat be we all agree in nato that russia is the long-term threat to nato territory we all agree we all agree it is the long-term threats to nato territories uh to the whole of the um your atlantic territory there we go the comments came during a visit to washington to meet with high-ranking u.s defense officials including
defense secretary pete hexad the nato boss was also questioned by reporters on the ongoing peace talks to end the war in ukraine but declined to give his opinion as to not hinder the process i think this this is all part of the forthcoming mar-a-lago accords the whole the whole if i put it all together you know with the the trillion dollar coin um economic concessions if you buy our military gear so no tariffs if you uh you know but we'll protect you as long as you know you you spend
the money uh of course dollar devaluation which i think is happening uh but it's going to be the tariffs is going to be linked to the united states protecting you and then we'll have the 100-year bonds or whatever and it was actually i come up with this you didn't you have a clip on the last show from besant at the railing on the imf and the world bank about their climate change nonsense i'd have to look into clipless but i don't know i don't know specifically what clip you're talking about
let's just play it again well um i i think that's what it was because i went back and i listened to uh besant talking at it's like the international finance had two besant clips gambit let me see what they were the first one was about him railing on the chinese yeah yeah and the other one was uh just a generalized not not as a strong clip well if you listen to the opening of that speech that he did here's what he said in the final months of world war ii western leaders
convened the greatest economic minds of their generation their task to build a new financial system at a quiet resort high up in the mountains of new hampshire they laid the foundation for pax americana the architects of bretton woods recognized that a global economy required global coordination to encourage that coordination they created the imf and the world bank these twin institutions were born after a period of intense geopolitical and economic volatility the purpose of the imf and
the world bank was to better align national interests with international order thereby bringing stability to an unstable world in short their purpose was to restore and preserve balance this remains the purpose of the brenton woods institutions yet everywhere we look across the international system today we see imbalance the good news it doesn't have to be this way my goal this morning is to outline a blueprint to restore equilibrium to the global financial system and the institutions
designed to uphold it sounds like a new accord to me and the what the imf their original task as i understand it was to allow countries to devalue or revalue their currency but with everybody knowing it and so you had to go and get permission from the imf and that's how they provided stability and that's how the whole foreign exchange business grew out of that and of course eventually went completely nuts so he wants to rebalance everything and then here's his clip on in
response to president trump's tariff announcements more than a hundred countries have approached us wanting to help rebalance global trade these countries have responded openly and positively to the president's actions to create a more balanced international system we are engaged in meaningful discussions and look forward to talking with others china in particularly in particular is in need of a rebalancing recent data shows the chinese economy tilting even further away
from consumption toward manufacturing china's economic system with growth driven by manufacturing exports will continue to create even more serious imbalances with its trading partners if the status quo is allowed to continue china's current economic model is built on exporting its way out of its economic troubles it's an unsustainable model that is not only harming china but the entire world china needs to change the country knows it needs to change everyone knows it needs to change and
we want to help it change because we need rebalancing too china can start by moving its economy away from export overcapacity and towards supporting its own consumers and domestic demand such a shift would help with global rebalancing that the world desperately needs so rebalancing rebalancing this is the most presumptuous this that that last part is the part that you're talking about that i played the yes um this is the most i thought about this this is
the most presumptuous thing who says that china doesn't oh we're so we wish we had more uh our trade wasn't so unbalanced this bullcrap they've always they've been saying for years that they want to own the manufacturing space for the whole world and then by some date they always have some date in the future where they expect to dominate the whole all of it china and so what is he talking about well he's talking about uh doing the exact same thing we want to
export yeah you can't be all the exporter we want to export and we've been talking to the chinese about it or have we u.s presidents donald trump said on thursday that the u.s and china have been in trade talks after beijing denied any tariffs during a meeting with norway's prime minister at the white house trump told reporters that his officials had a meeting with their chinese counterparts on thursday morning well they had a meeting this morning so i can't tell you it
doesn't matter who they is uh we may reveal it later but their meetings this morning and we've been meeting with china earlier china's foreign ministry denied trump's assertion that the two sides were involved in active negotiations These are all fake news. As far as I know, it's not about reaching an agreement.
that's chinese for fake news the chinese comments came after trump said tuesday that the final tariff rate on china's exports would come down substantially from the current 145 percent the trade war has raised fears of a global economic slowdown with the international monetary fund imf slashing its 2025 growth forecast from 3.3 percent to 2.8 percent so you know if these mar-a-lago accords actually happen and they try to get everybody together and they
try to rebalance i understand security guarantees i understand debt restructuring and i think actually president trump could probably do that could convince everybody to take on a hundred year bond at a uh interest rate um tariff says leverage but dollar devaluation i have two questions one how do you how do you devalue your current how does the dollar devalue what is the key the key lever to doing that oh and then all of a sudden you went away i hate it did that thing
just do it again hold on john it did it again it just decides all of a sudden i'm just going to use a different a different interface these guys screw are you there are you there yeah okay no we're completely gone it is clean feed decided to change the interface again this is this doing this a lot to you yes so anyway my question again how do you how does one devalue the dollar how do you do that well you don't uh for one thing the dollar will slide up and down
uh in its value naturally and it's not as devalued as it once was i'd say i don't know how many years ago when the when the euro was a buck 26 um i remember that because i went i think i was in europe that year and uh so i you it's not like the peso where they all of a sudden make an announcement that is worth half as much well that that's what i'm asking because we're talking about it we can't do that can we do it if we if we flood the world with stable coin could would that
do it just by i don't think i don't think i i don't know why you want to do that i'm i'm not saying i want to do anything i hear that i read all the time about dollar devaluation and i'm how does china devalue their currency they're doing it is not a reserve currency and they just they just arbitrarily move it up and down based on but how do you do central planning you have to have central planning it's not possible i'm just we can't go devalue the dollar it's not going
to happen asking you okay i'm asking you for the mecca so let's say how does china just wakes up one day and says we're worth less yeah that's how they do it this is we're just and they just say okay you just do they change the exchange rates on there and i'm asking for the mechanics no they change the exchange rate so why couldn't why couldn't we do that with a dollar you could do that with it you could say we're just the exchange rate is now this i'm not saying we
should the dollar would collapse the whole world economic system would fall apart oh who says that's not the idea we don't want that you have a worldwide depression and we'd be out of a job we could talk about lousy donations man you're fighting me like i'm the one saying this should happen i'm just reading about it and i'm trying to understand the mechanisms of it well i don't know what the mechanism would be well could the mechanism be by creating a flood of new
dollars in the form of stable coin that would just by having to start the printing presses up that'll do it same thing it's the same hell with stable coin you don't need the stable coin just crank out the money just change the money supply biden kind of did that it cheapened the dollar it's more fun way of doing it it's more fun to say stable coin yeah you like the word stable coin you are in a horrible mood today i don't know what did you get on out on the wrong side
of the bed or what what happened to you you're like yeah like you got up on the wrongs what the hell am i doing over here on this side of the bed so how does people get on uh out of bed on the wrong side of the bed i think that's an interesting phrase is this part of the horowitz rift are you are you mad being the child in the middle i mean what's going on man you said you're in a bad mood i'm just trying to get a little conversation you're saying i'm in a bad mood you're bringing
up topics that i can't you're asking me questions i can't answer oh then just say i can't answer it instead i said that i already said i don't know instead you said you don't want to do that except you can do the printing pressing that will okay value the dollar but just hypothetically just follow with me you could also do a fake printing press with stable coin i don't know what that even means that's the problem well you create more dollars only these are
digital dollars just like the eu is going to do with the digital euro everyone's going to be doing this this is in the cards so the digital dollars the stable coin is the same thing yeah that's that's the yes you you make us when you buy a treasury you for every dollar of treasury bill that you purchase um you get to create a stable coin that's what that's what there are hundreds of billions of stable coins already in circulation based upon this that's what
tether does so they they have already done this and that's what lutnick was doing with the cantor fitzgerald they are they are going to be the biggest provider of liquidity uh or i guess backing of stable coin sounds like economic mumbo jumbo all economics is mumbo jumbo as far as i'm concerned i think i think there's that's part of the plan just you know just create stable coin that could devalue the dollar that is the same as a printing press only it's not the
same as the money supply like m2 or whatever anyway i'm just waiting for the mar -a-lago accord that's what i'm waiting for you have some hang up on this mar -a-lago accords because i coined it now everybody's using it i talked about it first okay it's just like the pope everyone's listening to our show and they're not donating well that's for sure these guys these guys the catholic donors no they're donating what do you mean void zero is one of our biggest
value contributors mega catholic he's a meta meta meta catholic meta meta meta meta uh okay well let me see if i can change your mood with this uh sports ball little sports ball and you were in the news you didn't you don't tell me you're not watching the playoffs yeah what playoffs basketball the hockey league man oh i haven't following the hockey capitals versus the canadians come on yeah there's a guy named dvorak on the capacity crowd the first time they've had a fully
attended playoff game here since 2017 young upstart montreal canadians team last team in the postseason as they score christian dvorak finds a way dvorak restores the canadian's lead dvorak finds a way come on tell me you know this guy is do you see him at the at the uh the big uh the big dvorak conference no i didn't see him at the dvorak conference but i did not every time i hear about the capitals i keep thinking i should get a whole you know i know the owner of the team real
uh wait that's um isn't that the guy from aol ted ted leonsis yeah i know ted yeah everyone knows ted well you know ted was on our board at pod show for like five minutes that sounds like ted he was on the board showed up to one meeting and went nah screw these guys i'm off i got no time to be on the board yeah ted leonsis funny guy very funny he is a funny guy i guess you get a hold of him yeah and get a ask if he can be on our board what i want to do is get an autograph of the guy one
of the players is not dvorak but there's no vetchkin guy that's that's a player well that didn't cheer me up well i'm sorry okay well let me see if this cheers you up tonight one of jeffrey epstein's most vocal accusers has died for jimmy to fall there's a cheery story here with her family helped to expose epstein's evil cbs's ali bauman joins us with more tonight ali good evening david virginia jufre's family calls her a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and
other survivors have credited her with giving them the courage to speak out she died friday at her farm in australia virginia jufre was the first accuser of convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein to waive her anonymity and go public in a statement her family says the 41 year old was the light that lifted so many survivors in the end the toll of abuse is so heavy that it became unbearable for virginia to handle its weight jufre said in 2019 epstein's sex trafficking ring passed her
around like a platter of fruit to the rich and powerful including britain's prince andrew when she was 17. the duke of york denies the allegations and questioned the authenticity of this infamous photo of him with his arm around jufre's waist they settled out of court for an undisclosed amount in 2022. we need to show the world that the rich and the mighty can fall too. jufre spoke with gail king in 2020 about her fight for justice and epstein's death by suicide in a new york jail.
it would have been great to look at him in court and say you know you hurt me you took away my innocence you took away my youth but he took that away from us too. so they didn't really they kind of they buried the lead if not explained at all because the real story is i have two parts here is that she committed suicide. the woman who was one of the most prominent accusers of wealthy sex offender jeffrey epstein has died. virginia jufre was 41 years old. her family says she died by suicide.
so this is this is a very strange story because i have a clip that i clipped i think three weeks ago we just there's a lot of clips we don't get to in the show and tons yeah and it was it was an odd oddball story about her so this is three weeks ago where she went on instagram it's like oh i've been hit by a bus there's a couple of things before you play that there's a very interesting uh for people who like this sort of thing uh conspiracy videos floating
around saying that she was murdered and uh it's very it's kind of fascinating because they say the bus accident which they've shown didn't didn't account for her actual bruising that she's being beaten by some lover of hers that was a sadist i guess and beating the crap out of her constantly and so the pictures you saw were all beat up was like not nothing to do with the bus wreck that it correct then he then he hung her oh i didn't hear that part well here's here's the report that i clipped
three weeks ago police in australia appear to have disputed a claim made by prince andrew's accuser virginia jufre that she was involved in a serious crash which has left her with just days to live the 41 year old who previously alleged that the duke of york had sexually assaulted her when she was a teenager wrote on instagram yesterday that her car had collided with a school bus well lady pitt is here there are some conflicting details in this aren't there it is a bit
confusing mary because in her post online virginia jufre said that she's gone into kidney renal failure and is being transferred to a specialist urology hospital and she's posted a photo where she appears to be in a hospital bed and has quite severe bruising to her face she goes on to say that she has four days to live after a crash with the school bus near to her home in perth in australia now western australia police explain they know of a minor crash between a
school bus and a car that was reported by the bus driver the following day but there were no reported injuries to them as a result of the here's what the officers have said i do know there was an accident on the 24th of march it was a bus with a another vehicle and was there any passengers on the bus at the time when you were i'm not aware of passengers on the bus but certainly the bus driver reported as as he was required to do and in the right time frames and
i'm advised it was about two thousand dollars damage in the vehicle not aware of any injuries so the there's another option which is she's gone underground because pam bondi is about to drop the epstein report what would if she she's already out front about all that i can't see that being part of it i'm just saying this i think my thesis about the sadist and the uh is more likely oh it's not my thesis i know but where is the epstein report that that would be the big question where is the
epstein maybe she here's i guess the third possibility she hung herself because she's tired of waiting wow oh that's that's pretty bad bad bad bad we're never gonna see the epstein i don't think so either we have to get that out of our craw i don't think we're gonna see i don't think there is a report i think whatever it is been burned with everything else and the epstein is probably still alive there you go yep uh all right well that didn't die i hardly call that a cheerful uh well i
was just trying to version i i got some stuff i know how to cheer me up oh no tick tock clips oh please talk talk tick tock all right two tick tock i have two okay and the first one is a this guy it looks exactly like governor newsome only he's got gray hair and he sounds like newsome and i posted uh reposted this on twitter and actually tagged newsome because oh i'm gonna tag him that'll show him i'm tagging newsome that'll show him look at me i'm the real dvorak well
he does follow me so it's it has some meaning you've got great followers name dropping yeah and so uh but this guy looks it looks exactly like him and he's a little more manic but i just got the biggest kick at it but this is typical of these guys and he's wearing a suit and tie and he's just a screwball clip donald trump is now arresting a federal judge who disagrees with his immigration policy not only is this illegal but it's happening at the same time that donald trump is defying a
nine to zero court order the law it is at the same time that he's disappearing people without due process a violation of the constitution a violation of the law make no mistake donald trump is breaking the law at the same time that he's breaking the law further by arresting federal judges this is complete and utter meltdown of the checks and balances to protect us from being an authoritarian regime now is the time america to be honest of course the time was a month ago
two months ago three months ago last november but now if you are not feeling with fervor the desire to defend your country to defend the promise of what you can be then you are no longer part of this american experiment call your senators call your reps knock on their doors at their offices and only one word should be on our lips impeach oh man that's pretty typical yeah of what that's a typical for a saturday afternoon in your office it's just like wow now the other one i
have which i think is quite funny and i don't know you know i'm in between i i if i'm being logical about this this is just a troll and this was at an aoc town hall what trolls on tick tock what this this is at an aoc town hall it's a question and answer and this woman comes up and she goes on about uh her thesis about overpopulation and what we should be doing about it to save the planet for climate change and there's a note of sincerity in her voice that she's either i don't know if she got
me has me convinced she's a good actress or what but it's a it's a total troll it has to be but alexandria ocasio -cortez doesn't call her out as such and she just kind of goes along with it which is pathetic i might add but here it is gonna be here for much longer because of the climate crisis we only have a few months left right there troll that you support the green deal but it's not getting you know getting rid of fossil fuel it's not going to solve the problem fast
enough a swedish professor saying you know we can eat dead people but that's not fast enough so i think your next campaign slogan has to be this we got to start eating babies we don't have enough time there's too much co2 really now you were questioning if this was true all of you you're you you know you're pollutant too we have to start now please you are so great i'm so happy that you're really supporting nuclear deal but is this the real alex stein dressed up with a with a voice changer
no it's just some random swedish woman not enough you know even if we would bomb russia we still have too many people too much pollution so we have to get rid of the babies that's a big problem just stopping having babies that's not enough we need to eat the babies and this is very serious please give a response no thank you thank you we'll go ahead um okay no we'll go ahead no no no thank you so i think um yeah no so one of the things that's very important to us
is that we need to treat the climate crisis with the urgency that it does present um luckily we have more than a few months we do need to hit net zero in several years um but i think we all need to to to understand that there are a lot of solutions that we have and that we can pursue and that if we act in a positive way there's space for hope there's we are never beyond hope now hold on a second i so i went searching for a clip because i know that we had eating the baby so at
some point in the history of the show 2019 is this the same it is that's an old clip it's not from c-span because of the climate crisis that's from 2019 well you think my memory would be a little better that i can remember that clip than was it mine and it was taken from c-span by the way it wasn't really a tiktok clip i just call everything let me say talk because it's yeah yeah uh yeah in one of your clips yeah i'm not calling out for that reason i'm
surprised i don't remember playing it i remembered okay well although i have to say we if that clip existed and i submitted it it was definitely played oh nobody wants to not eating the babies i'm sure i'm sure it was played that's why i remember like wait i remember eating it but i didn't realize it was the exact same clip it's in fact it's the same length buck 50 interesting well that this is why the internet this is what bothers me by the way this recycling of clips oh i see it
so often it's just all over it's all over in fact there's a couple of clips that i saw that i lost track of and then they you know like from about a year ago and and boop there they are again they're coming back around so basically it wasn't aoc getting trolled you got trolled with another clip with it with an old clip i got trolled with an old clip but it's a great no it's it's a great clip it's a great clip but this i should just put classic on there i mean i'm you know sometimes i i wonder
if we're doing a disservice because you know the show started off in 28 20 2000 well before 2008 but 2008 ron paul was running he had and the fed he had his book out and everybody was talking about you know the federal reserve it's as federal as federal express and everyone kind of understood that this was not a government agency and now that ian carroll dude he's made a whole video like did you know that the federal reserve is as governmental as federal express
and people are sending it to me like this is a good background or you need to watch this you need to know that the federal reserve is not part of the government and i'm thinking to myself ah do we need to re-explain these things is is that where we're at now there's a number of people out there that have condemned oh there was i forgot who it was somebody sent us a note going on and on about how we have basically taken for granted many of these issues with the audience
expecting them to know that's possible it's possible i think it's possible maybe we should just start re-airing old shows i think we could get away with it you can start with the baby clip just find that show and see what else was on there's probably some gems for every time that the word obama shows up like oh but trump just insert that real quick and that'll be the same show nothing's changed eating the baby well i'm glad you remembered that so here is um some delusional dc union dems this is
this is beautiful this is a toe tapper you talk about tapping somebody along this is your toe tapper um they're so mad at doge so mad at musk that they made a song about it and it's it's kind of a negro spiritual when you listen to it oh which side are you on which side are you on which side are you that's an old that's an old union song from the 30s oh it's a union it's a it's a commie union song yeah that's a that's a classic oh only you would know that it's yeah well i do know
it what side is that's a union song yeah which side are you on it was a i think it goes back into the 30s well i'll play this and i'll look up the the original ones on we'll fight against we'll fight from dawn to dusk oh which side are you on which side are you on he's got this it's really old-fashioned here it is it's the american socialist song here we go with a banjo apparently from the combined socialist states of america 1938 i'm trying to talk up the intro it's taken a long time
come on sing oh okay now here it comes so they're doing a socialist song yeah wow wow which side are you on yes an old socialist song from the wow so a bunch of commies hello oh man that's crazy if anyone wants to make end of show mix i'll put the whole thing in the in the show notes i was just like and they did a whole new lyrics to it like oh brother give me a break so here's another interesting thing that took place so uh caroline levitt which i discussed
in the newsletter with some interesting information because there's been some phony baloney youtube videos about her oh they're going after her personally now they're going after her personally is that no it's just the opposite oh they're they're it's like a reverse smear that's the way i described it but they're making it sound like some sort of a genius and she just sued the view and she got 800 million dollars what and it was all elaborate it's all you go check the newsletter there's a
link to the video and if and so i checked it and look this is how come i haven't heard of this because i'm watching it you know being hook line and sinkered and uh after watching another video about her where she excoriated the supreme court under some circumstance which which i eventually found the disclaimer for it on the youtube video by clicking more so this is fiction oh there's no fiction on the 800 million dollar lawsuit story which is very well produced and you'd
be convinced what was it for what was the 800 million for uh defamation wow because they brought her on the show and they slammed her and made fun of her and they found all these memos she won this suit 800 million no this is the point oh okay it's an elaborate hoax but it's so elaborate oh wow that it's like you see this you watch the video and you are totally convinced that this actually took place it's very well done i mean the video's got clips from different people on the on
fox talking about how she how this is going down and well it looks like she's good she got their apology she got an apology but she's not and it's just but they clip it so beautifully it's one of the great pieces of propaganda i've ever seen in my life so i look at i but i but i believed it because i saw it just casually yes and so i said i've never heard of this 800 million dollars is not chicken feed no that's almost a billion like where's the news on this
there's nothing in the new york times nothing in the washington post oh they had you going they had you going they had me going for a few minutes but then i i then i ran it through ai searches oh goodness and i ran it through all of them i ran through grok spotted it as a hoax uh chachi everything but he spotted his host but perplexity which is one of my go-tos perplexity.ai uh they bought it wow and so i i saw the thing about she won this 800 million dollar lawsuit and then i looked at the
they have reference buttons you push and you see what the references are and there were two references both of the same fake youtube video oh yeah that i guess they scanned and i don't know how they managed to get it in there but they did it what ai was wrong no say it ain't so so i'm using this as an example of ai you know can't even do the fact checking for you but but so this this kind of thing's been going on so uh so but anyway that's aside carolyn levitt has made it so you have a couple
of uh podcasters can now they have a podcasting seat oh it's a new media i think it's the new media seat yeah the new media seat new media and there's a seat in front and there's some bunch of them in the back but the seat in front was now occupied for this one day by tim pool your buddy when you're in the new media seat you have to wear the dunce cap is that the idea you sit there in the corner with a big over to the side wearing his beanie big pointy hat oh with his beanie okay and
he's sitting there i don't know if you saw this or no i did not i knew he was okay i knew about this is the clip from it it's it how long does this clip go for 142 140 yes 140 just about 140 yeah it's a it's a scripted to such an embarrassing extreme that she should be ashamed of herself because you just this is unbelievable this was this is they're going to use this new media seat to slam the mainstream media with with tropes and she's going to respond oh you make such a good point yeah this is
terrible you're right how does the phone call go hello uh tim pool this is the white house press office uh we are sending you a script we have decided that you are going to be in the new media seat now since you have a beanie you don't have to wear the dunce cap but we will be sending you a script and we expect you to read it is that okay and here's the clip many of these organizations that are represented in this room have martin lock that right there is written by
the white house press office that is that is a carolyn levitt line many of the organizations represented in this room yeah right off the bat you can hear it's a script many of these organizations that are represented in this room have martin lockstep on false narratives such as the very fine people hoax the covington smear and now what's being called the maryland man hugs did she have his hand up her uh her hand up his butt and moving his mouth i mean this is
unbelievable where an ms13 gang member adjudicated by two different judges i believe is just simply being referred to as a maryland man over and over again now in an effort from the white house to expand access to new companies you've created this new media seat so i'm wondering if you can comment on following this expansion you've had numerous outlets to disparage the the companies that you've had sit here as well as the reporters i'm wondering if
you can comment on the unprofessional behavior as well as elaborate if there's any plans to expand access you're behaving very unprofessionally towards me i am boy sure well you certainly welcome uh diverse viewpoints in this room which is one of the reasons we have you in here and there's many new faces in this room in comparison to the previous administrations we want to welcome all viewpoints into this room we welcome unbiased journalists who really care about
the truth and the facts and the accuracy and you rightfully pointed out the maryland man story which i from this podium when the atlantic published it on that very first day i came to this podium and said this is wrong the the press in this room have this story wrong and we have seen more and more evidence come to the table that we have had all along we were always right the president was always on the right side of this issue to deport this illegal criminal from our community and it is
despicable to see the media continue to refer to this individual as someone who is just a peaceful man living his life in maryland this is was and always has been an illegal criminal an ms-13 gang member and a designated foreign terrorist and the administration maintains our position to deport these individuals from our community so thank you for being here tim great to see you thank you oh man how pathetic and you know if she says one more time from this podium from this
podium well i'm going to start using that here at my podcast podium john are you at your podium what do you think about it from your podium yeah yeah meanwhile i recorded it last night we had the white house correspondence dinner also known as you know that they i saw it mentioned and i was going to go check it out because i why would you why would you never did i just completely dropped the ball so i'm glad you picked it up well i just picked up a little bit of it
because you know and i what's the most fun is watching it's called the nerd ball the nerd ball the most fun is watching the people come in and c-span they in essence just turn the camera on they have their their their girl there who has a microphone and and she's just grabbing people of course there was no comedian they they fired the comedian there was no president uh and there was um there were almost no celebrities which was the whole point of the
fun of the white house correspondence dinner it was fun to watch because the comedian would roast the president and the president would sit there and take it and you know it was it was that that moment in time which is gone gone forever yeah and and so they had the so you know what do they have to do well then everyone else is the star so you had all of the the news anchors showing up and then i saw dana bash with uh what's the man woman what's her name caitlin caitlin
calling jenner no okay no no caitlin collins caitlin collins caitlin collins the lipless wonder yeah the lipless wonder and they are primping and posing for the camera and and shimmying their shoulders and laughing and doing yes yes yes yes i was my my mouth was a gape i'm like oh my gosh they they they real they're they're the stars they're the celebrities as you all know and then they have this guy we invite the president to this dinner for decades presidents on both sides
of the political spectrum get gussied up and join us have you seen this guy the new president of the white house correspondence association yeah it sounds a lot like what's a black guy from uh cape heart well he might be his brother but he's in a complete white suit with um with a instead of a tie he's got like a pearl brooch and he and he looks what with a pearl brooch you know like a brooch gay he sounds hello i want to be clear about something we don't invite presidents of
the united states to this because it's for them we don't invite them because we want to cozy up to them or curry favor sounds like we don't you got to look at this guy his name is eugene i'm looking at eugene daniels he looks like he walked right on eugene daniels he looks like he walks straight out of an el de barge video i mean it's like it's a little obscure not for this guy not for people who were around in the 80s only extend invites to the presidents who say they
love journalists or who say they are defenders of the first amendment and a free press we invite them to remind them that they should be we invite them to demonstrate that those of us who have chosen the public service of journalism aren't the public service of journalism it's a job doing it because we love flights on air force one or walking into the oval office yeah you do it's to remind them why a strong fourth estate is essential for democracy that's why we have
podcasters a smattering of applause well here he is here's a picture of him in this outfit you're talking about so he's wearing it's in variety of course of course i'm hi everybody i made variety i made variety these people feel like they are stars and there's they're pontificating like this is public service who are you sitting with who are you sitting with well i'm sitting with a bunch of guys from ap and cnn isn't there's no celebrities i got no one there so this
guy's the msnbc guy and he's obviously in the same milieu as uh cape heart because he sounds so much like him totally why at the end of the day it's good for them even among the most you know if you played this guy out of the blue and i had to guess who you would have said cape heart you said cape heart no yeah free nations the whca what we do is unique yeah it is an example of american exceptionalism oh though we don't have the current president with us this is
a more than example of douchebaggery this is what i'm talking about tonight we wanted to hear from some of those who have been gracious enough to sit among the white house press corps and here we go roll the tape members of the white house correspondence association distinguished guests ladies and gentlemen here i am who was that from saturday night live who did bush because that well do you think of dana carvey who used to do george w hw bush no this is w ain't
gonna ain't gonna yeah well so then they you know then they played the clip of that when it was cool when you had people making fun of the president and the president making fun of himself but they jumped that shark so long ago anyway i was just like i was they jumped the shark when obama uh went after trump yeah yeah yeah that's that's right and then everybody else went after trump yeah and that was the end of it yeah i i didn't pull that clip it's funny but he can't take
a joke when it's just mean-spirited kind of uh he i think he's got a sense of humor he could take some chiding but not when it's uh the way it was with obama yeah it was obama uh i don't think i clipped that he uh oh here it is the imagine if i did any of this clip here we go imagine if i had done any of this let me just i just i just want to be clear about there's a lot of his he does a lot of that in this clip yes i miss him imagine that imagine if i had pulled fox news's credentials
from the white house press court you're laughing but no this is what's happening imagine if i had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated that you will not be allowed into government buildings i don't think that happened did it not that i know of yeah government buildings it was a cia skiff this is uh from the midas touch network i'm still a fan come on we will punish you economically for dissenting from the affordable
carrot what oh always is he talking what is he talking about i have no idea what he's talking or the iran deal the iran deal we will ferret out students students spooks who protest against my policies a genius genius i didn't know where this was when did he do that we can't believe you can still he can still pack a house people that oh obama wasn't that bad man it's not as bad as this was the mainstream the m5m is pretty much all they're doing now is polls oh the country hates
what trump's doing 22 percent no one agrees no one likes it but the best this week came from the supreme court and this was a this is mamut versus v taylor this is about a montgomery school district so montgomery is in is that virginia montgomery i think it's montgomery no this is uh maryland maryland yes thank you um about the uh the lgbtq books in school yeah for the fifth five for the kindergartners they got they have the gay dog book and then there was all these other snm books and leather
yes so i pulled two very funny stuff well it's it's it'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic i mean it's just i mean in the defense so here's uh supreme court justice gorsuch first he's getting the details on these books now this is just not the books in the library this is being taught as part of the english curriculum what age do you um in montgomery county teach students normally about human sexuality um i think that it begins in either fourth or fifth
grade a human sexuality class family life and human sexuality curriculum i'm not entirely sure starts in fourth or fifth grade you think is there anything you can point us to in the record um i don't think so okay and uh second these books are being used in english class the wow you know what he sounds a bit like when he said when he starts someone's going to start this off um what age do you um in montgomery county teach students normally about human sexuality
tell me about your sexuality it's in your dna man charlie rose and judge gorsuch same guy um what age do you um in montgomery county teach students normally about human sexuality um i think that it begins in either fourth or fifth grade a human sexuality class family life and human sexuality curriculum okay i'm not entirely sure starts in fourth or fifth grade you think is there anything you can point us to in the record on that um i don't think so okay and uh
second these books are being used in english class the division between english class and other things in a second grade classroom doesn't really exist you're sort of in a room with a teacher and somehow i appreciate that i i went to second grade too but but but it's it's part of the english curriculum that these books are being used and that's i i thought that was yeah i'm not i'm not fighting the premise i'm just saying that's not the math class it's not it's
not the human sexuality class it's it is certainly not the human sexuality class i'm just sort of fighting the premise but there's a neat distinction and they're being used in in english language instruction at age three um some of them so pride puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum that's fried puppy fried puppy longer in the curriculum that's the one where by the way this is unconscionable no kidding they would they
would introduce three years pre-kindergartener kids to pride puppy and some of these other things this is i never got brought up in any of the conversations that i think they've they've banned the term but this is pure grooming completely it's grooming grooming grooming and who who are these people trying to kid um some of them so pride puppy was the book that was used for the pre-kindergarten curriculum that's no longer in the curriculum that's the one where they are supposed to look
for the leather and things and bondage things like that it's not bonding it's a woman and a leather sex worker right no no it's not correct no i thought i gosh i i read it that's my favorite gosh i i read it i saw it as bondage i mean i might have to reevaluate my thoughts drag queen and drag the leather that they're pointing to is a woman in a leather jacket um and one of the words is drag queen and they're supposed to look for those it is an option at the end of the book correct yeah okay
so this goes on and by the way they brought in uh comparisons to religion which was very really confused uh the whole conversation but this so that's one i'm glad you got these clips yeah i mean he actually was robbed the constitutional lawyer who sent him to me he says this is this is some good he said this is show material yeah you know i i saw him almost all the stuff i because it was fascinating it's hard not to listen to it and i don't know why i didn't clip it
but it's definitely important because it's insane well and here's the part that is even more insane you're you've included these in the english language curriculum rather than the human sexuality curriculum to influence students is that fair that's what the district court found so the keyword influence to influence students um i think to the extent the district court found that it was to influence it was to influence them towards civility influence them towards civility the natural consequence
of being exposed whatever but to influence them um in the manner that i just mentioned yes so that right there is enough you are not in school to influence children are you i mean influence here is just another nowadays propagandize yeah i mean obviously you want your teacher to be a good influence but that's a different different use of the verb influence this is to propagandize children is really this this is homeschool people homeschool and responding
to parents who are concerned you agree that this there was some intemperate language used yeah so uh and this is why it's um mahmud versus taylor so it was the muslims who said hey stop this nonsense they're the ones that stood up and so i guess there was a a a temperative uh atmosphere in at the school board where people may have gotten a little bit heated and then this guy said something which you know well you know was i didn't i didn't quite mean it whatever uh i i don't know
that those were responding to parents who were concerned this was after the fact for most of these comments um and this was in a very public setting which obviously got heated and some intemperate comments were used certainly and and i wanted to understand your your your context that you're giving about the statement that uh some muslim families it's unfortunate that this that this issue put some muslim families on the same side of an issue as white
supremacists and outright bigots i think in response to justice sotomayor you're trying to give some context to that i don't think i was speaking directly about that comment i think that comment was given or was made in june which was several months after the decision to withdraw the opt-outs was made i don't have context for that statement now oh i don't have context we understand the context you're telling these muslim parents are just like these these white supremacist nazis this has to stop
i can't even believe that the judges had such decorum during this whole hearing it's really and this goes far beyond just a couple of books in the library they are influencing children yes i wonder if um is it a synonym grooming synonym influence let's see 38 similar words hmm doesn't show up but it does in my dictionary that's it's this is really nuts yeah the whole thing was quite good and then katanji jackson brown guy missed he kind of took the side of
the school district well of course well you know if you don't like it go someplace else yeah yeah yeah well then she's introduced the idea of school choice yes of course her final thing was homeschool she did say that no that's that's the the final answer obviously i got i got a note from uh one of our one of our producers but we don't but it is the final answer except for the fact that we're being taxed to death for the educational system and we should be able to use it we
should be able to send this the kids to a private public school and it should be fine they should learn how to read write and and do math yeah and but no they're being taught about gay dogs i mean it's beyond me pride puppy is not a gay dog just search for search for the for the woman in leather boots on the ground peer network for mental health disorders among kids from one of our producers just pulled the kids from public school why why because of a cultural issue based in our
rural schools that was persistently spreading amongst the children we are privy to more knowledge because my wife worked for the school as well there was a chronically online over socialized seventh grader who determined she was a therian you know what a therian is i didn't know what a therian is a therian wow that's a new one to me too kids who identify as an animal oh furry yeah well the therian within three months she had convinced almost 70 of the girls of this in
this small school that they also identified as animals i see yeah the social that's what's with the social contagion i say convinced because she predatorily targeted the younger children to gain more self-assurance in her position children as young as four years old were asking their parents to buy them tails and masks to go to school in it worked its way back up the classes the data from the school shows it was mostly all girls from 4 to 14 and only a couple of
mentally unstable boys there's no bias here with our producer the school refused well you know yeah a couple of guys let the guy get in on this action hey all the chicks are wearing tails i'm in the school refused to acknowledge what was happening and do anything about it so i agree it's 100 percent the peer network social networks including youtube and the internet our children started coming home and using language and saying they are identifying as a cat or a dog and then
we have to have some long conversations about it and it's dangerous and what it really meant they got the idea uh they got the idea to understand the severity of identify and went to school to declare that they were mistaken but would love to play as a dog or cat etc that was our compromise that's a big compromise not much of one we ultimately decided to pull the kids halfway through the year to home school parents who did not pull their kids are reporting
their kids are more and more adamant about it defying them fighting with them trying to pursue their therian self biting them biting their ankles uh other parents are starting to try and buy these children the tails and garb that they need to fully identify as said animal in defiance of this is a great note showing that it takes one parent one kid and school scared off a lawsuit over this woke language to really ruin a school district so i guess that they uh it
was getting this is this is not okay and good for you anonymous producer parent good for you although i wouldn't even gone with the with the compromise no forget that put up with that crap yeah so this is what's happening the internet killing everybody slowly oh goodness well it doesn't have to no it well no it doesn't have to uh al gore was on bill maher friday yeah i saw that uh you know what i wanted to get a i didn't get a clip from that i did i'm i did i'm glad you did but you know i wanted
to clip i wanted to get uh just to just another one of these i didn't clip i have a million clips but i you know i don't clip you don't clip them i got all these clips that i didn't clip because you know i got clips that i didn't clip i got i got a lot of clips that i did clip you got up on the wrong side of the bed you know that's what happened that's what it was but i wanted to get steve bannon when he was on yeah i think the week before and bannon is the one who claims that he's the one who
started the trump 2028 idea oh really yes he says he started it and it was then they they're looking into and he says they think they can legally do it and he wants to do it and he went on and on and on so the whole thing's a ban and scam clearly although it is the most arrogant character he's just you know but president trump unveiled it in the oval office to frau ingraham he said come here take a look at this take a look at this you're talking about the hat
yeah yeah they had which i think eric or don jr did it i don't know who did the hat but he didn't say but he never said he was gonna he thought it was he never actually stated that he's gonna do it he's around the bush of course not the sad thing is he knows he's not gonna do it it's just bullcrap but but ban is taking it very unlike us and every other observer who thinks that trump's a goof and he likes to do these kinds of things ban is taking it very seriously well let me paraphrase from
the text group here in fredericksburg texas hill country look at this the libs are losing their minds and it could constitutionally it can be done that's what bannon says yeah well that's what they did it's very clear that it can't be done it's it's well you should tell buzzkill jr that because he's all this is just another version i got to i got the money in the bank i'm do i see it this is just another version of uh marshall law it's it's another version of marshall law it's another version of
the grid going down another version of micro dots it's going okay you don't you didn't have you didn't have to hurt me you didn't have to pull me in i've already repented for all that um well i'm not condemning you and uh 10 days of darkness i forget about that one and then when we come back after 10 days of darkness everything it's going to be a great reset everything will be different and we'll all be billionaires because we bought xrp i'm telling you the xrp thing is still in play i
forgot about the xrp thing it you know with the quantum off world servers yes there were there were people who were you're not you're in the you're right in the dead center of this i i really think that's great i love it and the thing is i can i can laugh with these people about it and like did you buy any more xrp just like yeah it's going to 2000 i hear if it go i have a thousand xrp that i bought at like five cents and i was about right i didn't even realize i had it until i
looked at an old one oh i got this and got some xlm too and they're like it's going to tooth as if it goes to 2000 i'm buying you a car because i will have two million dollars not you john i keep telling that oh no what about me no you're not getting a car you know you know no no um so anyway here is al gore on bill maher and here he is responding to the speech that he gave which we pulled apart on the last episode of the best podcast in the universe we generally have the same
view of the trump administration yeah um yeah yeah you were in the news this week for invoking nazis well i didn't do what jd vance did and call the trump america's hitler when he did that a few years ago well he's what he actually said was i think about trump a lot and he could be an asshole just like nixon or he could be america's hitler oh that's and i remember thinking oh so the good option i i like i like how bill maher is defending with facts is that he's just
an asshole well but i think there's a big difference in comparing someone to hitler he i mean we heard the clip he compared him to hitler it was it but oh no no i was talking about the frankfurt school on the one hand which you which i don't do i i think that's a big mistake and i said that in the speech that you're referring to that's a unique form of evil that should not ever be compared to anything but we are not living up to our responsibility uh to our constitution
if we don't remain alert to warning signs that we know from history not only from the third reich but from a whole series of strongman dictators when they start trying to tell people what to think when they start trying to expand their power so that they push the congress around push the judiciary around and try to consolidate dictatorship the first steps on that road are ones that we should see as warning signs and those warning signs are your own facts your own truth lies
nazi is a hard word yeah to use with nuance so so when you when you bring that word out you know i i feel like they're the goat of evil you know and and so it just conflates i agree with that i agree with that but if you look at what i actually said in that in that speech there was a group of german philosophers that went back after the war and conducted a kind of moral autopsy and they said one of them said that the first step on the descent into hell in that case was and i quote
the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power they attack the distinction between true and false and when i see and hear over and over again the assertion of complete inaccuracies that ukraine is responsible for starting sure the war with russia uh there's so many of them and and they keep asserting these things expecting us to believe that the climate crisis is a hoax invented by the chinese that windmills cause cancer that clean is that coal is clean uh and they they
try to assert with the force of power their own special version of alternative facts but i guarantee that the side of the country that voted for trump they hear nazi and they just go oh you're calling us nazis first of all it's a bit of a false premise as bad as they are and also it just says to them well you just hate us bill maher he may be part of the saving grace of the country i have to do a uh-oh or the one listener out there has a history or has a background in science made a
point that i made an error oh when i said when i was talking about clean coal i'm glad that you played that clip now it reminded me because i was gonna do it and i forgot all about it of course as usual and it was lignite is the worst coal not the best coal the best coal is actually something called anthracite uh which is super clean coal and lignite is the dirty dirty coal but even though we can kind of burn it uh in these floating beds but i i don't know why i said lignite i know what it
is and it was a blunder i'm surprised i only got one note from one guy well we got a lot of notes about um uh cold water creek about the manhattan project waste yes and there and the notes were all over the map well we got ones like this please revisit the cold water creek nuclear story from show 1758 minute marker 40.02 to 46.20 you and john were clearly lost first not knowing about it that's my favorite not knowing about it second saying repeatedly it was in pennsylvania and thirdly
dismissing it as simply fear mongering easy does it people were just we're just here the podcast podium you can just say hey you know you were wrong um this is what's going on and there really is something happening there and a family of mine uh has indeed uh you know gotten sick from stuff that's probably around here but no waste from the u.s nuclear bomb project was in fact buried in missouri and is in fact still making people ill today also john the
most inexpensive geiger counters under 800 will not detect alpha radiation oh my goodness mea culpa um i still hold the belief that it was a story that was brought back to fear monger against nuclear yeah i think you're right that i believe that is correct exemplification of that idea is the actually we had another there's another story somebody pointed out then sent it to you and i think you may have got looked into it which is a story that had resurfaced two or three
or four times over the last four or five years which is something you've spotted a lot and i'd say the baby i'd say say the baby eating uh thing is a good example on today's yeah yeah and that was from five years ago yeah six so yeah recycling of of memes yes it happens and tropes it happens so it's very common and it's like uh it was a good say it worked back there in those days let's do it again so no sooner had the president signed his uh ai in school
executive order then we start we start getting inundated with ai in the schools so i'd call this propaganda too because remember it was public private partnerships so this is about the abhi robots the abhi robot so the kids are sitting in the abhi lab and they all have a computer in front of them the computer has a camera it's scanning their eyes to see what they're looking at on the screen and the little cute little robot sits on a shelf they each have their
own little robot and the robot you know his eyes blink and it's you remember that dog remember the sony dog ibo ibo thank you ibo this is abhi hmm i wonder if it's also from japan so yeah so it's it's kind of like that only it's more robot-esque but it's not much more you know it has some it can move its arms and it swivels its body but it's doing great for the kids um it's become like a mascot meet abhi we didn't know what abby was but it came with a promise of uplifting our test scores the
ai program is aimed at kindergarten through fifth graders and helps both students and teachers in the learning process they never complain becoming abby lab it's like miss miller we're going to abby lab today you know it's like it's like yes we're going to the abby lab the robot uses the camera in the student's computer to track eye movements and their attention span it helps them stay on track we'll actually pause the math or reading lesson call them out by name and say hey you're
not paying attention let's make sure we stay focused before we move on to the next problem the program uses a student's account to track their progress by subject um abby customized um the lesson that they're getting so children feel that at the end of the day that abby is meeting their needs abby is capable of adapting to students learning styles and celebrates those who are succeeding this new frontier may be worrisome to some parents but creators say abby won't take the place of teachers
it's an additional tool tools have a place right they don't they don't supplant they don't replace but they should have a place that helps empower teachers in a way that gives them the ability to do more in their classroom and the school is seeing positive results one teacher says this is accelerating the kids learning early in the school year the one that comes to lab are moving up into second grade abby lab has really helped them reaching the goals that they need to reach
in first grade and starting them with a solid foundation in second grade so apparently it's working it's one of our trolls said is it like one of those monkeys with the symbols yeah that's kind of what it is a mechanical version of the monkey with the symbols oh you did a ching ching you did a good job you know i did some vibe coding uh over the weekend which is a vibe coding it's a new word i learned vibe coding vibe coding is where you uh uh program computer code with ai
vibe coding because i have a project i'm working on this project and it it's the same thing that i talked about last time it makes a mistake and then you know it's oh i see i made a mistake because i give it the error log and then and then before you know it it's like well you have to recompile your kernel i mean literally it takes you in circles it goes around and then because i don't know what i'm doing i'm not a coder and i i want it desperately like help
me it's not a very difficult program but help me do it and because i'm not a programmer i expect the ai and i said i'm not a programmer and i brought up what jc said about this on a previous show because you made this complaint before which is that ai coding is no good if you can't code so i want to take yes i want to take a little bit further because for me coding with ai is almost like working with a genius kindergarten who has adhd and has a box of
animal crackers you know you can't can't focus it's all over them it's nuts and then i realize we have to apply the man gelman amnesia thesis to ai remind us what that is man gelman is where you read something in the news man gelman amnesia where you read something in the newspaper about a topic you absolutely are an expert in and it's wrong ergo you can assume that every other article in the newspaper about things you don't know about is going to be wrong that's the man gel the uh man gelman
amnesia effect why is it called amnesia you think because you forget you're the amnesia part uh oh the you know i because you forget that hey they they don't know what they're talking about so when it comes to aviation you know it's like well they don't then they rarely have it right with accidents and all the design i mean even with what we're talking about earlier um with uh with the phone line well you know it was a dirty line it was a commercial and it had didn't have a firewall like
okay sure yeah that's what makes a line not dirty is having a firewall so that's bullcrap so then we can presume that everything else they say is bullcrap and by the way that's probably the same with us too however we know a lot about we know a little about a lot don't we know a lot about a little yeah we do we know a lot about a little and a little about a lot yeah which is better than most people but when i do podcasting who just shoot this shit so when
it comes to creating podcasts i would say ai gets a below passing grade it can't do podcasts it's always the same thing well let's take a deep dive yeah uh so if we know that it cannot properly do podcasting it probably can't do great coding either could i and so back to buzzkill jr could i maybe use it for some things in podcasting yeah you can make some isos for the end of the show that's about it i have some for today's show but first i'd like to thank you for your
currency in the morning to you the man who put the c in his very own podcast podium say hello to my friend on the other end the one the only mr john oh shoot now we're talking 2473 trolls peak time is listening at troll room.io tuning into the live stream which is good and the trolls have been found and the trolls are now all turning into baby eaters yeah it doesn't surprise me trolls like eating babies so you can join them at troll room.io or if you want to you can listen live on
a modern podcast app go to podcast apps
.com i like podcast guru that's the one i've been using someone just asked me today what should i use well you should try them all i would say try them all there's a whole there's a cornucopia of podcast apps to use they have many more features than your apple or your spotify or anything else you can find including the live bat signal which is for all of the no agenda uh live podcasts on no agenda stream i think they pretty much all um are using the live the live title is called
the live tag the lit live lit tag is what it's called just live and you'll be notified so when darren and and larry go live with planet rage which is typically i want to say that i don't even know what day it is but it's always right around the time i'm walking the dog then my poop my phone goes like oh oh the boys it's planet rage and i listen live while i'm walking around also you get chapters you get transcripts all kinds of benefits and that's interesting adam where can you
find all these podcasts is there a compendium or a list of what they are and where they are well i'm glad you asked john i would go to podcast apps.com that would take you to this entire list it shows you it's a compendium and it shows you all of the features they support it's well worth your time and trouble wow thanks thank you podcasting 2.0 people thank you for that um we are value for value um which means we will not get a seat at the new media spot in the uh in the white house press chair
we don't we're not being put on the chair it's like getting a time out congratulations you're now in the white house you're in the timeout spot but that also means that we rely entirely on the value that you feel you get from what we do and send back to us that's something we started in in our first year said this is never we can never do ads not because you know we yes i didn't print this out but we did i you know since i sent out the second note i get a lot of feedback i try to answer
most of it about why the donations are down oh and so uh and they all get perked back up enough so that it's not nothing to complain about but i got the one my favorite one of some one of our producers it's because you're communist he says you're asking for money and then you're taking it from us and then you're passing it to yourselves and he went on and on about it he says the communist model's no good it was described to me yesterday at lunch as god's economy i thought that
was a good one i like that too so i don't know about the communist one no we just decided early on that and a lot of people think well it's good you know because if you had ads you'd be deplatformed and people would pull their ads so yeah oh yeah we bet we would this show would not be existing if we had used another model but that's not the prime reason the prime reason we didn't want ads was we didn't want to have meetings with advertisers well that's your main reason because
you always had to do that hi i'm the monkey boy remember me from mtv one nanny nanny walker walker walker hey everybody headbangers ball yeah baby with some butthead now buy some ads yeah yeah who right and then you had didn't have the money from the ads go to the sales group anyway yeah yeah yeah and commissions everywhere and then yeah it's no good yeah and then they have to be uh try you need a traffic department to deal with traffic department yeah so instead we said you know what if you
get any value from the show send it back to us and that was kind of an experiment and it worked and people liked it they liked the idea of supporting us for the value they get like like even uh the the producer from horowitz's drunk party it was probably a florida key party if you ask me and uh and she said you know what way does that mean you don't know what wife swapping yeah that's key parties yeah that that's a big thing in florida no good days are over no it's
hey i'm telling you remember we had a big group there in the in florida and they they disbanded all of a sudden i think was a key party gone wrong well that's interesting yeah that's a big disappointment i forgot what the name of that uh the group yeah it was a good good group it was a good group and no one's ever meeting all the time it's like indiana yeah no one picked it up although we do have a a meter report for leo bravo knocked it out of the park today he had 20 people at uh at his
los angeles meet people coming down from washington it's a nice report um no so instead we just ask you to contribute back time talent treasure that's the three t's of the value for value model it's now become a thing people talk about oh i'm value for value oh really yeah where did you come up with that well a man's from the bitcoiners well i don't think so but that's all right it's good yes more stolen valor value for value.info if you want to learn more about it value number four value
.info and so people can do all kinds of things we've had people do many things throughout the ages to support the show in fact the reason that you still get no agenda at the top of all your google searches because one of our early producers was an seo expert and he cemented us inside the algorithms no agenda is this show when you're looking for it also news with no agenda i think we pop up at the top of the list so that was a very valuable contribution back to the show and
of course another valuable contribution is the artwork that our artists diligently are making during the live show because they're using that modern podcast app they get alerted oh yeah that's right i gotta listen i gotta make some art and then they upload that to noagendaartgenerator.com another fine website that one of our producers sir paul couture has provided and kept running for us mostly for the past 10-15 years and the artwork for episode 1758 which we titled scream circle was a fine ai
generated piece which just made us laugh from francisco scaramanga it was our black pope done as a muppet with the odds of him being chosen 33 to 1 and it hit home people loved it they were laughing their butts off and when i see on x people say the minute this popped up i had to pull over and and get the podcast i had to listen to what was going on it was very it's very funny and it's it's something about the goofball smile i think that just makes a goofy smile
it's really good um let's see if there's any other things that we looked at that were close seconds not really no i remember because typically we do the credits liked a few pieces but none of them yeah getting the mark you like the uh watermelon juice from matthew dropko i thought you liked it no you liked it you liked it i i was like kind of simple the mustache wedding was cute but we didn't think anyone would really understand that one is pretty obscure oh the one that i liked you put
the kibosh on right away and not without merit was the two popes doing rock paper scissors oh yeah the black pope and the white pope and you're like that's no good look at their hands it's all a is no good yeah the one hand the guy's fingers were a mile long and the other fist couldn't even form a fist it was terrible it's too bad because the the concept was good the concept was good but no you also liked the mustache wedding you said that a minute ago but i'm just looking
at it now now no no i didn't fight you on it didn't fight you no no the only one you really were yeah you're right the one you were really pushing was rock paper scissors i like the rock paper scissors but you know but we're we have veto power and i wasn't going to argue i mean sometimes we'll argue over like well i can make the case we've done deals we've done backroom deals i'll give you i'll give you two weeks of art if you give me this one just give me this one please i like it i like
it uh that was about it that was about it uh and it's nice to see there's some real art in there it's not it's not all ai there's people doing stuff we appreciate you we appreciate all of our artists um especially those who are professional artists who are seeing that this can be a tool and i guess i guess it's working for them i mean just like uh i remember when i think a lot of artists like to see if they can crank something out yeah i'm sure it's good to do
production work because you still it's still the concept without the concept you know the concept of the two popes was a great concept but yeah those the two fingers of the white pope that was just that was no good that was too much and i don't think that was intentional go fox did that anyway thank you very much we appreciate that now we also like to thank all of our producers who sent us some treasure fifty dollars and above we will thank you profusely for supporting the show we got a lot
of people who came in just under the wire for the commodore promotion which ends on wednesday wednesday yes so i guess that's your last chance and we're going to thank the executive and associate executive producers right now that's two hundred dollars or above for the episode you become an associate executive producer we read your note that title is good for the rest of your life you can use it anywhere hollywood credits are accepted you could go to the white house correspondence dinner by the

to be read during the show well there's a note here what's he talking about he's got a whole note what i do request an american made deducing please oh man i'm sorry you've been deduced there you go that is made in america no ai i was introduced to no agenda with adam's appearance on the motley fool podcast with chris hill wow i do not remember ever being on that show i don't think you were he says i couldn't say when that was 2018 i don't think i have ever been on the

the reason why i was able to stay strong in the times of the covid vaccinations when my employer would have liked to see me properly filled my properly filled out vaccination passport shame on our union by the way but i resisted the back successfully instead it was necessary for me and the other vaccine skeptics to visit one of the many corona testosterone around the city each working day four months the other vaccinated colleagues of mine were exempted by this rule and were free to
just visit work sometimes coughing and sniffing to this day it's no kidding to this day i'm very thankful for the both of you informing all of us back in the days about the reports of all kinds of horrible side effects by this insane gene therapy four more years and i have a bonus clip i have a bonus clip this is from the bbc this is bbc very famous for their snooker have you seen this clip of the snooker snooker snooker snooker the the game snooker yeah the game that's like pool but
with different like pool and the smaller and the rules are different so listen to the commentators from the bbc with this particular snooker play yeah very controlled i seem to remember reading an interview i think where ben was talking about 62 after what he feels was the covid jab and then he immediately feeling 63 unusual but his hand was shaking a lot and i was hadn't seen him play since then but no sign of that now that's good looks rock solid on the shot
yes his hands do look steady remember when we had the chat they'd say to you can you please stick around for five minutes or ten minutes make sure you feel okay and it was in that five or ten minutes he either fainted or collapsed it was one of the two then he felt fine and he went home and he collapsed again so in the immediate aftermath of his jab he collapsed twice 75 and ever since then it's been a very very gradual up and down return to full health and i know
there are certain weeks where in the early days he couldn't practice more than an hour a day because it would be so exhausting i think he's learned to to manage that still has periods if he's feeling tired where it comes back a bit but by and large touchwood he is healthy again but the normalization of this is amazing to me worst bonus clip ever it works better with the video i guess they're eating the dogs that's true oh man i got the wrong that's true again how can that be it's true
what is this it's true i know but it's it's there's something wrong with the with my system now hold on a second what it's it's not showing up stand by that's true that's true that's true what's this we welcome in isis no that's not it i remember that there it is there it is mark it yes it's marked i got it that's true you're writing classic call it classic it's that's true classic i'm going to rename it right now okay that's true robert patruska that that was julian terrato by the way

old buddies the white helmets the oh you mean the guys uh from uh from syria those white helmets yeah uh the ones who faked all of those uh those pictures yeah huh okay they're back in action now they're firemen but they're still the same group and where are they now they're still still they came down from the hills and they're still in syria but now they're downtown this is the white helmets report from pbs during syria's long civil war emergency responders wearing white helmets
became famous they were known for running into harm's way to rescue civilians from collapsed buildings in the aftermath of regime airstrikes the white helmets were nominated for the nobel peace prize and featured in an oscar-winning documentary well now with syria's dictator bashar al-assad gone the white helmets have a new mission and a new challenge npr's lauren frayer takes us to a damascus firehouse to see them in action oh wow this is all burned so
we're rushing into this emergency here firefighters rush into a burning building in the syrian capital firefighter tarik talib says they managed to extinguish the flames in time and no one was injured residents are gobsmacked they got here so quickly and they didn't ask for an says mohammed bassem saeed a retiree who lived through syria's civil war and says he never got help like this these new firefighters wear gold and navy uniforms and iconic white helmets for
most of the war the white helmets operated only in rebel held areas dictator bashar al -assad had decked the capital with billboards vilifying them as traitors and terrorists i never believed any of that though saeed says thanking the firefighters profusely thank you when asat fell in december a white helmets convoy rolled south from rebel territory and into damascus i felt joy grief and shock altogether says amr zarife a white helmet who's from damascus but hadn't been
here since 2018 when he responded to a chemical weapons attack by asad's forces when you do a documentary about a group which is clearly hoaxing shouldn't your award be taken back i would think so because the white house that never happens the white house correspondence association they uh um i think they handed out an award or or they highlighted the the documentary or no the news report about how the biden biden's mental health was covered up and they're giving out an award for that
while they all participated in the cover-up isn't that amazing it's nothing well i think some explanation will reveal it this is the the clips of reveal oh and i think you'll hear you'll figure this out uh why this has nothing to come of it and why the white helmets are still being uh extolled here we go lives in a damascus firehouse where the white helmets have set up new headquarters their founder raed saleh is now in syria's cabinet and the volunteer force he
founded 12 years ago is extending its reach for the first time to the entire country it's the journey of the syrian people and the syrian revolution deputy leader farooq habib says their workload has actually quadrupled even though the war is over most of our country is destroyed half of our people lost their homes and they are displaced either internally or they became refugees okay that was uh that wasn't the killer clip this we'll wrap it up with this one this is killer clip this
is the one now our main mission is to deal with the legacy of the war help to find the missing persons we're dealing with the mass graves cluster munition they're also repairing roads and water pipes these are people who started as shopkeepers teachers gas station attendants and engineers habib was a banker i was a regional manager at a private bank in syria when the revolution started some people carried guns some people left and some people volunteered
in the opposition held northwest the white helmets served about five million people habib says they're now stretching to eventually meet the needs of more than 20 million syrians even as their budget is cut usaid the foreign aid agency dismantled by the trump administration it used to be the white helmet's biggest funder oh gee wouldn't you know it oh those horrible trump people horrible so we're funding the white helmets yeah of course we were the american taxpayer
we were funding the white is picking up the tab yeah we were funding um i have a couple middle east clips that i'd like to play we're running out of time for today but i think that we are nearing a solution for palestine as there's been some political moves during a convention in ramallah mamoud abbas named the first ever vice president of the palestinian liberation organization 64 year old hussein elshek who has long been considered one of abbas's closest aides elshek was born in
the west bank and spent 11 years in an israeli prison in his youth then went on to become a veteran politician for the fatah movement in 2022 he was named secretary general of the plo which oversees the palestinian authority and was made responsible for civilian affairs at the time the appointment generated criticism that he was being groomed to replace abbas but elshek insisted he would push for a democratic process any future president of the palestinian people
can only be a president elected by the palestinian people through the ballot box the palestinian president must be elected the palestinian president will not be appointed he will not come to power by force or because of some regional international interest or arrive on an israeli tank abbas has not held elections since 2006 and is the president of both the plo and the palestinian authority his decision to promote elshek as vice president is widely considered a move
to assure a successor and to appease arab and western powers that have pushed for the organization's reform and for them to have a central role in the post-war governance of the gaza strip this guy this hussein elshek he's a ghost i mean he's been around but there's nothing you can find on this guy yeah and he looks like he looks like he's just he looks like he's been in the west you know he's just one of those guys so to me that says moves are getting made they got to put
someone in place who can't have abbas uh he'll be uh yeah they'll have a they'll have a vote i'm sure and they'll bring him in so i find that encouraging one of my friends is in tehran right now and he's been sending me pictures man the media does such a horrible job of psy -oping us about iran i mean it almost looks like the iran pictures from the 70s you've got modern cars modern buildings lots of women without head coverings uh makeup they they just look just no this is a lie
it's they've got a hockey team they've got all kinds of i mean it's really it looks good it looks take pictures out of moscow they're even better well yeah but moscow we know but but tehran now it's still a it's still a stinking city says it's a lot of pollution but it looks really modern and beautiful whenever we see iran on television it's a bunch of towel heads walking around in dust thanks m5m so yeah so um so we're currently in negotiations with uh with the iranians and i found a report
on deutsche villa uh about these negotiations staying with iran a third round of talks about a new nuclear deal between tehran and washington has reportedly begun in oman iranian state tv showed its delegation in muscat and announced the negotiations started midday officials from both sides are expected to hold in-depth discussions over how to limit iran's nuclear program in exchange for the lifting of some of the crushing economic sanctions the u.s has imposed on the
islamic republic for more i'm joined by nilo fargalami from dw's persian service good to see you where do the talks stand right now yeah seems to take longer this time a post on x from iran's foreign ministry spokesperson says talks continues in a serious atmosphere and there's no comment from u.s team yet earlier today an iranian official also told reuters that the expert level negotiations are a difficult complicated and and serious according to both sides
the latest two rounds were positive and seem to be talking about the details on this stage and iran's emphasizes particularly on lifting sanctions but also there was some reports that iran's missile program is an obstacle to progress iran has previously said they won't negotiate on defense capabilities but we have to wait and see so the question is of course what do the iranians want now trump wants a deal what does iran want of course they also want an agreement because they know that the
other options are not very pleasant let's not forget that the islamic republic is in a vulnerable position in these negotiations the regime is facing various domestic and international crisis and challenges its proxies in the region have been severely weakened and the shadow of war hangs over iran in addition to that any agreement that only preserve iran's nuclear program is a relief as there is a possibility of a complete dismantling and then most importantly and the reason
why i brought up my my friend in tehran is what do the iranian people want what about iranians what did they actually want um for them like it might be minor economic relief for example but the iranian people have experienced 2015 deal at the time iran's economic situation was not as bad as it is today but according to experts even that deal failed to improve the quality of life of iranian people or even change the social situation and freedom in iran instead the government
used the additional resources to further strengthen these proxies in the region and suppress its citizens inside iran there are different views on that some are waiting for the final result some are in favor of an agreement and others are pessimistic like for example a large group of iranians consider any aggrament a failure and raise this question of why the iranian people should pay the price for the islamic republic's policies yeah i think the iranian people well
they're more american than we realize of course just like the russians yeah well they won't be if we bomb them no well no they won't be hey i just got a new video in so that meeting between president trump and president volodymyr zelensky initially they had three chairs in the temple and macron thought that he was going to be sitting down with them and you can see trump like you know not shaking his extended hand then touching him on the arm and then macron
leaves and they remove the third chair that's interesting well that's interesting yeah that's not that has not been reported well no only on your no agenda show at almost the end of the show i might add um we are running late but if you have something you want to sneak in there something that you think is some shorties i got shorties i got a couple of different shorties let's do the real id upcoming real id fiasco which is going to cause nothing but trouble at the airports in just over two weeks
a major change is coming for air travelers across the u.s starting next month the tsa will require adults flying domestically to present a real id compliant driver's license or other approved identification entities christina corona we're standing outside of a packed dmv here in the city where many people are lining up to get their real id before may 7th you may begin the process online however you will have to finish it at the dmv soon travelers will need a real id to board domestic
flights after the may 7th 2025 deadline it will also be required to enter federal facilities like military bases and courthouses without a compliant id travelers risk being turned away at airport security this is part of the real id act of 2005 born out of the 9 -11 commissions push for stronger id standards real ids are marked with the store or a design like california's bear outline other acceptable ids include u.s passports military ids dhs trusted
traveler cards like global entry and acceptable photo ids issued by a federally recognized tribal nation indian tribe just to name a few to get a real id you'll need documents proving your full legal name social security number address and legal presence one southern california resident shared his experience navigating the process i've been here for maybe 20 minutes so not too bad um yeah the line's moving pretty slow but yeah not too bad a lot of stuff was online like they had us upload our
document like some documents like a birth certificate or a water bill to prove you live here and um just like basic information like address things like that just to prove you live here in california the dmv is extending hours at select offices including three in the bay area on saturday may 3rd to help meet the deadline that's so american you can show us your social security card or a water bill either one is just a water bill water bill you know did i tell
you about my my global entry experience coming back into the country um not that i can think of so you know so tina and i because because you know it's like you're a big fan of this but i hate it i i hate the idea that i had to do it but you know we always have to transfer either in atlanta or dallas or houston and you know you have two hours typically to get from your international flight to your domestic flight and you know we stood an hour in line for an hour and a half when we came
back from italy and luckily our other flight was delayed but it you know it's not fun and then you see all these jimokes oh i've got i've got global entry i'm like i want to be that guy so and you get tsa pre-check with it as well so i'm completely in the system but they give you a card you don't need this card you go through the global entry you stand in front of the thing takes a picture of your face it's all integrated boom keep walking and then as you're
then you as you're walking up towards the custom guy says curry you're good to go it's the whole system is all facial recognition it's all it's all implemented we're all in the everyone's it's this is our our future life is all facial recognition it's quite disgusting so this real id is just a little step because when you get your real id guess what photo facial recognition it's all going to be facial and they don't tell you they don't tell you what they're going to
use it for that's really it's it's gonna use it to track you down that's what they're going i'm gonna show my salute by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah yeah so on thursday hopefully i have a report about ashlyn speed i think she's racing today in the mazda mx5 action with the no agenda car it's a little sticker on the back but it's we call it the no agenda car but right now as we have tip of the day coming up we have some

these two guys are not bozos except the end okay what else you got podcast that's what i call a great podcast we need to say i'm scott simon we need him to tag himself all right what else you got well then it'd be i think it was borderline illegal already you think i'm pretty sure uh we'll get a note uh so now we have a variation of the same one because our producer decided that he's gonna it's a guy who does scott simon he's got this he's got a lot of what you're saying this is not ai this is
a guy no these are all ai oh okay but the producer who does scott's the scott simon materials is from his ai oh okay he's trained trained to train the voice train the model yes and it's a good model uh in fact the the one with the horn is is his okay here we go something one wow that was something right and two wow that was something right i still like that's what i call a great podcast i think that's the best one okay i like it a lot i like it so much that i'm gonna start the tip of the day jcd
a lot of people want me to do some generalized wine tips i'm gonna do one a wine tip finally a wine tip yes we all we all love the wine this is a type of wine i'm going to discuss a type of wine it's a sweet wine that people should check out and they're available if you go to another if you're in a town where there's a liquor store that we have a wine guy who knows anything that you're doing you'll probably find an example of this product it's a rhone wine it's a sweet wine and i've discussed on
the show sauternes which is i think one of the great sweet wines that you have the the one that's that's what you get the ladies with you the ladies love this they love this and then there's also german sweet wines that are worth noting noting which include um baron auslase and trocken baron oh the truck and baron yes truck and barons are very expensive and it means a baron auslase it means it's a late harvest of specific berries and trocken baron auslase is a
wine that is dried there's basically raisins turned into wine uh and there's another type of german sweet wine called an ice wine which doesn't really hold a candle i don't think to these other two but the wine i'm going to promote which is an inexpensive obscure wine that you can find anyone who knows anything about wine will know about this balmes de venice can you spell that for the b-a-u-m-e-s-d-e -v-e-n-i-s-e balmes de venice and balmes de venice and it's used
and sometimes referred to as muscat balmes de venice but the appellation i believe is balmes de venice but it's a muscat wine that is incredibly sweet and and it's not super sweet that's it's not a sickening sweet wine it's just a incredibly floral like the best it's a very specific muscat grape called the orange muscat and it's only pretty much i mean muscats are very variety of muscats are grown all over the place a lot of them are table grapes but this particular grape
which is a specialty of this area makes a fabulous product this muscat balmes de venice is a killer a killer wine and if you see it try it how much can we expect to pay for the balmes de venice 15 bucks maybe that's that's the price that's that that's what makes it a great tip of the day and you're not an expense not an expensive rare expensive wine like like a half ball of trockenbeeren auslase that can cost you 150 and what do we uh do we drink the balmes de with
dinner or uh after dinner after dinner and it's perfect with almost any dessert and uh do you drink it in a big wine glass one of those little petite thingies you could drink it in anything you want in a paper cup it doesn't matter the stuff is really good there it is tipoftheday.net noagendafund.com well you may have to wait for things but you get such a fabulous tip of the day at the end it just makes it all worth it doesn't it i like it i'm gonna go out and get me a
