1763 - "AI Factory"

I got burned with the quantum dots, man,

I got burned.

Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, May 11th, 2025. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1763.

This is no agenda. Celebrating moms all around Gitmo Nation and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in FEMA region number six.

In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we do say Happy Mother's Day, I'm John C. DeVora. And it's crackpot and buzzkill. In the morning. Yeah, we do say Happy Mother's Day. You do, do you say? You do say Happy Mother's Day. We do. We do, we do, we do. How did, you know, when we were going through COVID, people loved their moms. Everybody was crazy about moms because moms became mama bears and the moms that were showing up to the show, moms everywhere.

How do you think it is?

What is the state of motherly love today? Not so good.

Why is this? This is beyond me. It's just the way it is. It was this way before COVID and it's this way after COVID. It makes no sense. We need moms now more than ever. And more than, I mean, I want my mom. Do you ever miss, I miss my mom. Do you ever miss your mom? I know it's been a while since she passed, but do you miss your mom? I see her in dreams. Really? Oh yeah. Comes up, shows up every once in a while, makes a fuss. Does she make a fuss about the Chinese? Tells me to clean up.

Does she make a fuss about the Chinese taking over everything? When she says, where's the toilet paper? Get this, Chinese are buying it all up. Well, that's nice.

My mom doesn't show up in my dreams. I read an interesting etymology of the word mother today, which kind of, yeah. Why would anyone even look that up? Okay. No, I didn't look it up. I came across it. In Hebrew, mother consists of two words, eleth and mem. And eleth is an ox head and mem is a water. And so this is, in ancient Hebrew, this would be strong water. And here it comes. The ancient Hebrews used to boil animal skins, ox skins, to get this gooey substance. They used this glue.

Hence, eleth mem, mother, is glue. The glue that keeps the family together. How about that? Sounds like a cock and bull story, if ever there was. You know, somehow, oops, oh boy, what happened there? Somehow, I knew you would not be buying it. But you didn't say it. You didn't say, I'm not buying it. You say, cock and bull story. No, I tried to avoid that phrase. Well, then let me get you on a different track.

As we know, I'm very disappointed about picking the wrong pope. I mean, I'm not laying awake at night, but I feel like, oh man. And the more I look at this Leo XIV provost, the more I'm thinking, if he was even on the radar, I might have seen that he could be the guy. Okay, so you're reverse engineering your mistake. Yeah, I think so.

To prove that you probably could have picked it if it was even, if the guy had somehow cropped up, if it passed your threshold of knowledge, you would have seen him and said, you know, that's it. That's the guy, that's the guy. But it doesn't matter, because this morning. I want to hear the rest of the rationale. Well, no, no, the rationale, no, that's not as important as what I need to say next. You're not gonna believe it. This came over the transom this morning.

You're related to the guy. From PubMed, the effects of anti-diabetic drugs on erectile dysfunction. In conclusion, GLP-1s demonstrate an advantage over metaform in improving erectile dysfunction in patients. Baby, I nailed it. Wegovy and Ozempic are now good. There's two studies. I knew, by the way, when you said it to begin with, that it was an obvious end point for the sales pitch bull crap that they're pulling. But the fact that they would. I nailed it.

That it's come so soon is kind of surprising. Two studies, two studies. Two studies, not just one. Two studies. They're going all out. Where do these studies come from? Okay, the first one is PubMed, which I think is pretty. Yeah, but PubMed doesn't do studies. They publish them. Yes, okay. So they, all right. They published it. Do they publish bogus studies? Yes. Yes, the Kennedy's mentioned that. But that's not the point.

The point is they want this stuff into everybody's system as soon as possible. The second study. I guess the COVID vax didn't kill enough people. It's actually, so it's both. It's NIH, the National Library of Medicine, PMC. It's both PubMed, two of them in PubMed. So this is a bonanza, baby. And it's too bad we don't have the morning shows. Maybe tomorrow they'll be all over this. I'm sure. Oh, there'll be a tomorrow's show, yeah. I'm sure they got the script by now. We have clips for Thursday.

The script is in. Oh, everybody. It's amazing. It's like, it's time to retire. When it becomes that easy to see where the things are going, it's like, might as well just quit. So that what you did there was to show that you used, you obfuscated your bad pick for poll. Correct. By bringing in a kind of the long shot, which seemed like a long shot, but not to me necessarily. Long shot pick for a marketing scheme, which you predicted accurately.

And then you just kind of glossed it over as though there's some somehow makes you better. I don't know what you're trying to do there. It makes me feel better. That's all that counts, as long as I feel better. I still like to know, you didn't say, because you don't have it in front of you, where these research papers actually stemmed, where from did they come? Okay, I do have it in front of

me. Okay. This is a lot of Italians here in the first one. Guiseppe Lisco. Let me see. Let me see what the... Hey, Giuseppe, hey. Hey, Giuseppe, what about my ED? Giuseppe. Okay, let's see. Doesn't... And by the way, with these drugs in play for at least a decade, you'd think they would have figured this out earlier. So this was a systematic review and meta -analysis, is where this... A systematic review. This is not research, then. This is a review and a meta-analysis.

That's not the same as a research paper. Right, so, but they cite all the other papers, including exploring the potential impact of GLP -1 receptor agonists. No, that's not the one I'm looking for. Yeah, this looks like a smoke and mirrors to me. Good work, though. I don't think it's... Here. Look, look over here. Here it is. GLP-1 therapy boosts erectile function in diabetic obese men. Now, a lot of people... Not a pretty sight.

No, a lot of... A lot of people sent in other ideas that if your wife uses Wagovi, you automatically lose your erectile dysfunction. Yeah, I got that joke, too. So that joking came a couple of times. Yeah. Let me see what this is. This is, this one is... Okay. Let me see, let me see who did this. This is actual research. That's very long. Oh, man. You'll have to forgive me if I didn't read through all the formulaic reasoning that they believe.

My goodness, this thing is eight football yards long. If football fields... Well, we'll work on it and we'll get... That's okay. The morning shows when you have Dr. Jen and Dr. Bill and Dr. Fred and all these other phony balonies come on the networks. They will tell us. They will tell us new research. That's what they're going to tell us. It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

It just matters that they have something to point to to once again, you know, throw in a little ad for the big boys, for the big boys. Yeah, while they can. Well, what do you mean while they can? Oh, well, they're going to pull the plug on this eventually, I hope. Oh, please. RFK Jr., what have you done for me lately? Well, it looks like Bill Cassidy, according to our buddy, Glenn Greenwald. You're buying that? You watch that and you buy that? Yes. Oh boy, do you have a clip?

No, I just got it this morning. I didn't do any bonus clips this morning. So I'm going to, I'm looking at it. I still haven't fully bought it, but I have kind of, because it makes sense. But this guy, this Cassidy guy's a bad actor in a lot of different ways. He's been a Trump hater, he's one of the few Republicans that voted for his impeachment in the Senate. Well, we had Bill Cassidy clips when Kennedy was going through confirmation somewhere. I'm pretty sure we have one.

And he was saying, you know, well, you're going to have to talk to me. You have to have conversations with me. You got to meet with me every month. Yeah, and then we had Shanahan's clip. You had it recently. It was a post. It wasn't a clip. It was just a post. It was a post that she said that

she thinks he's not working for the president, but he's working for some alien force. She? Oh, you mean Kennedy? Yeah. Yeah, all because the president appointed Casey Means as Surgeon General. That's the whole reason why everyone's all, as you would say, has their tit in the ring over this.

That's what I'd say. And a couple of people got their tit in the ring over your newsletter. A rare, rare apology. A rare apology. Well done, though. It was, I mean, rare because you don't usually, you have to make apologies. Oh, I felt bad about it. Yeah, I could. Wow. Who are you? You're like saying, I was wrong, mea culpa. The past month has been nothing but Honest John. Honest John, it's always been Honest John. It's my old nickname. They used to call me that in high school. Sure. I'm sure.

So what happened? What happened for the dumbos who don't subscribe to the newsletter and could be a part of this wonderful double newsletter day? Well, I had to, I was going over the records of all the people that were Surgeon Generals and they were all in the Navy, it looked like, because they're all admirals, but they got that assignment later. And then it became even, there's a secondary controversy over whether the fact that they're given the admiralship when they become a Surgeon General

because they work for public health services, but whether that's officially, whether that's a Navy position or not. And, you know, the argument is no, and the Navy guys are all bent out of shape about even considering, I think because of Rachel Levine, they have enough trouble in the Navy without that guy. Right. And so- What happened to that dude anyway? I don't know. Probably on a board of some Kleiner Perkins company.

So, when it began, when the Surgeon General began in 1871, it wasn't, my understanding, it was a Navy position and then it kind of devolved into one thing or another, but they kept this idea of keeping the title of Admiral. It's kind of hard to follow, to be honest about it. And there's a few people that never took the title of Admiral. It started off as Commodore, by the way, just for all you Commodores out there. Oh, wow, that's interesting.

Yeah, it was Commodore, Commodore, you can go look up the list of Surgeon Generals in Wikipedia, it's all Commodores. And then all of a sudden became Admirals because the Commodore thing was dropped by the Navy. So, gee, a coincidence, the Navy drops Commodore. And so do these guys, they wear a Navy uniform. And my challenge to the Navy guys out there, they say that it's not part of the Navy or they have nothing to do with the Navy, let's say, I'll give them that.

If you're a Navy Lieutenant and you run into one of these Admirals, do you salute them? Oh, interesting question. I would say yes. I would say yes too. But they're not part of the Navy, you don't have to salute them, do you? But they're an Admiral, what would you do? What would you do? I would salute and say, how you doing, buddy? Good morning, good morning to you. So the whole thing is sketchy, but this is beside the point, the whole thing, it was a botch on my part.

And so I had to send an apology note out. It's okay. So no sooner had we- And I got a lot of notes, and here's what the big, you know what the big complaint was? Amongst the complaints, everybody complained about that. You know what the actual real complaint was when it came down to it? John, what was the actual real complaint when it came down to it? Thanks for asking, Adam. I said surgeon generals instead of surgeons generals. Surgeons generals, oh no, oh, what a faux pas.

It was a botch of the highest order. Epic proportional botch. And everybody brought that up, whether they thought about the admiralship or not. Brings this up. See, what if we got a bunch of grammarians out there worried about this sort of thing? Crack me up. Well, we also called out other people on the news for saying that. So it's kind of a taste of our own medicine. That's the irony, of course. We have done that. So no sooner had we ended the show or I start getting threads, X threads to

look at Laura Loomer calling out Callie Means as a shill, a big pharma shill. And Callie Means saying, you are the shill. You're getting paid. No, you're a shill. No, you're a shill. All about disappointment. And it's, I mean. Which brings us to the Megyn Kelly clip, which I have, which discusses this to some degree. You might bring it up to speed. Yeah, no, I'd like to do that. Started thinking about the things that would ultimately wind up in the book.

Good energy would be at the center of the Maha movement. Her brother Callie was going through his own evolution and realizations, having worked for Coca-Cola and came out hard as almost like a whistleblower against what companies like that are doing to us with the sugar and the food supply and the SNAP program and so on. And they've become very important and essential Americans, especially when it comes to Maha. Great.

So why is she getting mercilessly attacked right now by some within the Maha movement and by Laura Loomer, who I don't know if she considers herself Maha. And I really don't dismiss Laura Loomer because people call her a conspiracy theorist. She's been right about a lot. She's really taking aim at Casey. And I have to say on this one, I really disagree. I'm just gonna tell you some of the allegations, okay? She said that Casey means, her dad wrote a pro-trans children's book back in 2020.

Well, he did write a book that was about like a weird, an odd duckling or goose. And how it wound up, it basically wound up being gay. Wait a minute, you're telling me Callie Means is a trans guy, is a dude, is a woman in pants? No. And in the opening to the book, he does say that this is, it's about Felix, a unique bird. And he says, it's a story for children and adults alike.

And says, it's for, I'm trying to find the exact quote, but it's about, oh, coming of age is challenging for most children, but it can be especially tough for those grappling with their gender and sexual identities, gender. So he mentions it. And I've looked at the book, at least what I can find, if I have like four pages. And it's really about a gay goose. Oh my goodness. All of these people, Megyn Kelly, Laura Loomer, all these- By the way, I am never gonna clip her again.

That clip that you played there is actually about a half an hour. Oh, I know. She repeats herself. She's like a radio person. These old radio people and TV people, they talk and then they wrap it around and they talk it. I had to cut out so much where she just reiterated and came back and did this and that and put a sides in there. It's like, when I have to clip Jesse Waters, it's the same thing. He's got his sides, a little one-liners and things that aren't relevant.

A little mockery, a little mockery. It's a mess. It's all of these people. And I mean, so first of all, the whole controversy really stems from the fact that Casey, not even, Kelly, not even Casey. Of course, she's so controversial because is she really a doctor? Did she quit her residency, blah, blah, blah, blah. They came out of nowhere. They had this book. It's a best-selling book and they will not, and this is really what it's about.

The core of this is the trauma that I would say MAHA have, as in MAGA, MAHA, about President, MAGA, MAHA, about President Trump not saying, hey, that vaccine sucked. This is what it's about because neither of those two, the brother-sister combo, will actually say, yeah, that thing was not a good idea. They keep hedging around it like, well, you know. Actually, Kelly addresses this exact point in the next clip. No, excellent. As a gay goose, okay, whatever. By the way, it's her father.

It's not her. Like I don't, okay, so like if she had written this, maybe it would lead to a follow-up question at the hearings, like what do you think about children grappling with their gender identities? That's really the question, isn't it? What does Casey Means think? She is where I am on this. She is not pro the transing of children at all. Her brother, Callie, right now is out there calling it demonic. They're very close. That's number one.

Then she points out, Loomer does, that she never completed her residency. That is true. I just gave you the context. She points out she does not even have an active medical license in Oregon. That's true because she decided to stop practicing medicine a couple of years into her private practice and to do, she has this company now that offers like all-day glucose monitoring and explains to people how to read their blood levels when they get their lab test back and so on.

It sort of helps more millions as opposed to like individuals. And I can speak this as a lawyer. I passed the bar in New York, in Illinois, and in Massachusetts. Okay, so I was admitted in all those states. I practiced at length in New York State, in Chicago, in Washington, D.C., for that matter. And I wound up going dormant on all of my law licenses many years into joining journalism full-time because A, it costs money, and B, it's a lot of continuing legal education.

Okay, but she didn't talk about the vaccine there. Only about- Oh, you know, I got left on the cutting room floor because I got sick of it. Okay, I'll tell you what she said. She said that if Callie, or is it Casey? I can never remember. They're both girls' names. I know, Casey, Casey, we're talking about. Callie is the one who's been on all these podcasts, people have been firing at him for hours and hours, and he will not denounce the COVID vaccine specifically. Okay, she says the following.

Because I was supposed to be in that clip, I cut it out because I couldn't take it anymore. Cutting, cutting, cutting, cutting. So she said that if she, Casey, says she was anti-vax, she would never get approved in a million years, and so they can't say it. So in other words, she's implying that they believe it, but they can't say it because then she would never get approved. Okay, the bottom line is, well, actually, before I get to my bottom line- Is there a bottom line to this?

Yeah, I think there is. This is RFK Jr. on the Casey Means appointment. This was him on the Friendly Fox & Friends. Yeah, I'm very, very happy and grateful to President Trump for nominating Casey as the Surgeon General. The industries that are threatened by her nomination are mobilizing and they're actually paying a lot of bloggers, we've learned now, to attack her. They're attacking her on the- Where's our money? Mainly on the critique that she- Where's our dough? Where's our check?

Where's our money? Just at least offer it. Interesting medicine. Yeah, at least. Come on, I feel really left out. We got a million people listening. We've been left out of every bribe possible. Every good deal. Gold, gold, no gold, we got no gold. She was at the top of her Stanford class. She was president of her Stanford class. As a resident, she won every award that you could get for the kind of surgery that she was doing. But she realized very early on that she was not healing patients.

They were coming back again and again because the surgeries were treating the symptoms and not the underlying causes. And she decided to devote her life to figuring out what those underlying causes were and to ending those exposures. She wrote a best-selling book that really galvanized the Maha movement. Maha? Rachel, I'm very glad to you, I'm very, very grateful to you for the leadership that you've shown in telling this story to the American public. But Casey is an incredible storyteller.

She is a pregnant mom right now, so she has a touchstone with every mother in this country. Okay, so what RFK Jr. is doing here is he is debunking and clapping back at Laura Loomer because Laura Loomer posted that there's no evidence she's pregnant. Why are we hiring pregnant women? They have to go on pregnancy leave. And these people are being paid. And as I said, Callie was like, no, you're being paid. So RFK Jr.'s basically saying, you are being paid. This is the funny part of it, by the way.

There was some clips of that. Well, there's no clip. The back and forth. There's no clips. It's just, it's on X. No, it's just the two of them bickering on Twitter. All of these people, and then we can move on. All of these people, Megan, let me just get my thought out. All of these people, Megan Kelly, Laura Loomer, all the influencers who keep coming back to this thing, which really doesn't matter that much.

I mean, the Surgeon General, did we stop smoking because the Surgeon General, because Coop said it's gonna kill you? No, the Surgeon General is the Surgeon General. And in your original newsletter, you pointed out no one even knows who the last Surgeon General was. These influencers, and I'll put Laura Loomer and Megan Kelly in there, they're like dogs returning to their own vomit. They just keep coming back. Oh, wow. Yeah, thank you. I like it. Thank you. Oh, you worked on that one.

I worked on that one. Oh, brother. But that's what it is. Who cares? It's another thing. The Fredericksburg rumor network is in high gear. Oh, oh, they're building a, but why? No, your point is well taken. Why? Who cares? It's the Surgeon General. No, it's not like, you know, the Secretary of State. Because of the, that particular part is because of the trauma of COVID. And they're all secretly very mad that Trump has never said, he said, yeah, I don't think that vaccine was so good.

He says the opposite. Although he's dialed that back even. It's a trauma. It is a trauma amongst people who voted for Trump. It's trauma. That if he would, it would all end if he just said that. And I think his ego's in the way on that one. Or maybe he knows something we don't. Anyway, the next thing, and we talked about this months ago. Oh, oh, they're building an entire Sharia law city in Texas. Oh, yeah. Well, before we go into that, I do want to get the, I do have one

more case he means. Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't, I thought we were done. Oh, okay. I got you. You were making moves and I wasn't paying attention. I'm sorry. You weren't. You were taking the cue. I was trying to get my one-liner out. That's why. I was focused on that. Yes, you develop these things about once a month. Oh, once a month that you catch it. Yeah, okay. Well, that's probably true. It's probably twice a month and I only catch one.

Yeah. And then you add Lib at least, you add Lib twice as many as you actually developed. So I give you credit for that. Thank you. Casey Means was on the Bill Maher show. Oh, this past Friday? No, no, it was like a month ago or longer. Oh, okay, all right. After her book came out and she was the special guest. Oh. This is when they used to have, when Maher had the two guests on his right and then he'd have one special guest on his left. Yes. Which he's kind of backed off of.

Yeah, well, the special guest is the guest in the beginning who then comes out later for the panel discussion. Sometimes. During overtime. Sometimes, sometimes not. It's all. It's strange. It's a variation. He changes his model a little bit. It's a strange format. I don't particularly like it.

So she is on, but these clips have nothing to do with her except for the fact that they triggered something that I had to make some commentary on before we talk about Sharia law in Texas, which I think is also a Fredericksburg freak out. No, it's bigger than that, but we can get to that. Well, it could be, it could be, but let's go, let me get this out of the way. But you, hey, you brought it back up. It does involve a rant, which you enjoy. Okay. So here's Bill Maher and the topic changes

out of the blue as he has Chris Cuomo and some other guy and Casey Means on, and then it slowly twists. Where is these clips? What are they called? Means. Means on Maher. Means on Maher ones, yeah. There's a lot of stuff in our food that probably shouldn't be there. And every time they look, the more they look, the more they find that can kill you. Gambling. Everybody's head is going like this. Yeah, I think the food's a problem.

My question to you is, if everybody's head is nodding like this, what is keeping anything from ever happening that moves us in the direction that you're going? The food is delicious. That's the problem. I would say, I would say. That's what it is. I'll tell you. Who comes back from Italy saying, I can't wait to get some ragu? That's right. I mean, Italy, the food is all, it's more delicious. But we don't live in Italy. We live near McDonald's. Not yet. But I can't.

That was Casey jumping in there? Yeah, she's trying to get a word in edgewise, but Mara's out of control. And then he says the following things, which got, I didn't record any of her. I didn't care. It's mostly, this is the issue. This is not rocket science. Why don't we get our food safe? I'm not talking about like, you know. The food is delicious. It is. In America. If I had six months to live, You mean the lousy food. I'd eat McDonald's every night. Are you serious?

And if I ate McDonald's every night, I'd have six months to live. Yes. So look, I was on his team. McDonald's isn't delicious? Who are we fucking kidding? I'm sorry, it's delicious. See, it's so, I mean, we should talk, but. I never have it, but it's delicious. And how do you know? I've had it.

Oh, okay. Have they changed the formula? I don't think so. And here comes the rant. That's what got my attention. The formula change, yes. So I have stories, because I used to work as an air pollution inspector, and I got to inspect all these places. A number of them were McDonald's jobbers. They changed the formula all the time.

And if he doesn't think they changed the formula, somebody should tell him about the difference between the tallow fries that they used to make, which are famous, and oh, delicious McDonald's fries to the crap they make now, which are soggy. Seed oil. Seed oil fries. There's a formula change, isn't there? I'd say. But the original McDonald's formula for the sauce on the Big Mac was largely developed by Morehouse Mustards, which used to be headquartered in Emeryville.

And I used to inspect that plant a lot, and I got to know this guy, George Ladder. Wait a minute, that's their secret sauce. Isn't it secret, the sauce? It's a secret, yeah. Yeah, okay. Isn't it Thousand Islands dressing? Doesn't everybody already know that? No, no, no. The kicker was, Ladder told me that the original blend was with fresh horseradish, and that's what made the original Big Mac so tasty, because of the horseradish that was in there.

And he says, as soon as they went into full production, within a year, they changed the horseradish to a powdered horseradish, which was bland. Formula change, by the way, for poor Bill Maher, who thinks these burgers still taste like they used to. I've also tasted the McDonald's burgers in Paris, because they have a McDonald's, or they used to have one on the Champs-Elysees, and it doesn't taste anything like these burgers.

They're totally different, the bread's different, everything's different about them. Also, the bread used to be made, another inspection I made was the Kirkpatrick's, or Kilpatrick's Bread Factory in Oakland, which the company went out of business during the era of balloon bread, where you had, if I remember, Kilpatrick's, Wonder Bread, Langendorff, Sunbeam, Blue Seal, there's all these different bread companies that all made this same kind of fluffy white bread.

And they made the McDonald's burger buns. And the guy noticed about it, he says, yeah, he said that they had to have a special, they had a template, so the bun would be, as the bun was just, after it was, before it was being tempered, they smashed the bun with this like temp, like these little blades, they weren't blades, they

were just pushers, and they put a crosshatch pattern on the bread, and the guy's manager says to me, he says, that's to make it look as though the bread was folded. It's just fake. Whatever happened to Wonder Bread, by the way? I love my Wonder Bread. Wonder Bread's still around, but the other balloon breads are all gone. If you want to, there's a fun movie to watch. Michael Keaton in The Founder, it came out in 2016.

Yes, about Roy Croc. Yes, and what triggered, because we watched this maybe two weeks ago, what triggered me is that they went to the powdered horseradish. That was one of the ways he got the company going is by using powdered milk for the milkshakes in the early days. And I'm sure, and they changed that, of course, later as well. So yeah, Bill Maher doesn't know what he's talking about. Yes, Maher's going on about they don't change the formula.

So just to top it off, as you know, I have been tasting McDonald's Big Macs on the show. At least once a month. Once a month. Once a month. And I stopped a year ago. Because you were getting sick? No, I couldn't eat, I couldn't finish one. They were so, the latest version is so unedible, and for Maher to say it's delicious, he obviously doesn't eat there. It's not even close to delicious. It's not edible. No, if I have a stomachache, I'll go to McDonald's so I can poop it out.

That stuff never, that stuff, I mean, he's just the middleman at McDonald's. He just like eat it and he's right before, I'm not even home, like, I gotta go. Okay, enough about nasty food. I just had to get that off my chest. Well, hopefully the new Surgeon General will unveil

all things unhealthy. And I will take RFK Jr. at his word that there's all kinds of money floating around. Look, Big Pharma is big. They know the media is changing. They know that their phony baloney CBS morning show segments that that's not really, you know, it's really not gonna last much longer. Five years, 10 years, I don't know. Maybe five months. People are moving towards- Actually, if you ban advertising- There you go. You have to ban the native ads. You have to ban the native ads.

There's no native ads for smoking. They won't even let you smoke in a movie half the time until it's bent out of shape. Yeah. Well- So if they're gonna ban advertising on television for prescription drugs, they have to ban the native ads. Well, my point is they know change is coming one way or the other, and they're fighting it, and they're fighting it in the correct ways. What I would do, we'd have the meeting. Hey, let's cut some checks. Is Rogan doable? No. Okay, what's next? Loomer.

Okay, we'll start with her. Megyn Kelly. You know? Oh, you know, I could run it by her. Bob. I could run it by her, Bob. I could run it by her, Bob, if she's gonna say anything, if you run it by her. No, I know her. She's not gonna say anything. She's not gonna do it. She'll assure me she's not gonna say anything. So I can run it by her. If she doesn't do it, she doesn't do it. If she does it, she does it. I don't know. We'll find out. So there- You know this exactly what goes on.

Of course, of course. And part of the meeting is always, how about those No Agenda guys? Nah, they're no good. Those guys. Those guys. They'll fuck it up anyway. Exactly, they'll deconstruct themselves. And before you know it, everybody's on to us. We can't do that, Bob. Can't do that. No, I was just saying the, it was kind of related to the influencers that the

Fred Freakoff, and I'm calling it that now, the Fredericksburg Freakoff, everyone's all bent out of shape because influencers are out there again. Like, they're building an entire Sharia law city right outside of Plano. We know that they've not built anything. There's a mosque. Well, they got some nice drawings. Yeah, you can drive I-10, you'll see a hundred mosques. If you drive it long enough, there's mosques everywhere.

But it's not like this city has been built and it's being projected now as it's here, it's Sharia law, they want to take over. And so it got so- That's probably true. Well, that may be true, but you know, so, Abbott had to come out and say, hey, they're not going to, they can't even start construction. They have no permits. They don't have the authorization.

Yeah, so they're playing it illegally because obviously in America, you know, if you want to have a big campus for your Scientology, you can do it. If you want to have a big campus for your Islam, you can do it. Now, you can't all of a sudden have different rule of law. And that's really what he's focusing on here. But it's just amazing how there's so much going on in the world and somehow these things just get spun up, just spun up. And like, calm down.

I'm tired of being the guy who say, calm, people are starting to not like me. You're no fun, Curry. I thought you were a conspiracy guy and you're just debunking everything. Yeah, what happened to you anyway? You're like debunk bot. What happened is I got burned. I got burned one too many times. That's what happened. I got burned with the quantum dots, man. I got burned. The quantum dots, yeah. Actually, that did change you. Oh yeah, it burned me. Because- Quantum dots.

Well, how do you think Pachenik feels? He went on Alex Jones' show and brought this out. He act about it and Alex was laughing in his face. Yeah, but Pachenik never contacts me anymore. No, not even a, hey, how you doing? Aw, it's too bad. No, but he knows- I mean, he should have been able to snap out of it. I think he was really burned bad, but he's just kind of like- I don't even know if- He should be able to snap back from that. I don't even know if he does anything anymore.

I think he just kind of retired, like slunk back into the shadows. Yeah, he needs to snap out of it. Anyway, yes, I still love Steve. He's got good stories. He's a funny guy. Oh, he's a great guy. He's got good stories. So lots of action in Europe because, you

know, now that President Trump is trying to get things to calm down between Russia and Ukraine, the Mod Squad had to get together. That's Mertz. And yes, thank you, everybody. We know that Friedrich Mertz indeed has the same initials as Fred Mertz of I Love Lucy. That was a big email I got. You never got that one. I can't believe you missed it. Fred Mertz. I can't believe you missed it. Yeah, how'd you miss that? How'd you miss that one? Mertz, Macron, Stormer, and Tusk. Bro. Tusk of Poland.

That guy? Yeah, Tusk in Poland, yeah. They all went to Kiev, to a little meeting. Four European allies of Ukraine on Saturday vowed to impose more sanctions on Russia and increase military aid to Kiev if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not accept an unconditional 30-day ceasefire. The leaders, under the umbrella of the Coalition of the Willing, said that their proposal for a ceasefire starting on Monday was supported by U.S. President Donald Trump.

So we are clear, all five leaders here, all the leaders of the meeting we just had with the Coalition of the Willing. I'm sorry, I should have said the leaders of the Coalition of the Willing. Anybody else in Europe, just listen up, because these are your new leaders. An unconditional ceasefire, rejecting Putin's conditions, and clear that if he turns his back on peace, we will respond.

The move appeared to have ramped up pressure on Russia, as President Putin, hours later, called for direct talks with Ukraine without preconditions. Now, I'm pretty sure you have some stuff on that, too, but I just want to get through what happened in this 24-hour period. Then Fred Merz, he came out and kind of wishy-washy talked about, well, you know, you can put it, we'll get you into EU, and then after that, maybe NATO, I think, if, you know, something like that.

I share the assessment of the Secretary General when it comes to membership for Ukraine. I would like to add that Ukraine has an accession perspective for the European Union. I think, in terms of timeframes, this will be before accession to NATO, if it happens one day, and it needs to be clear that Ukraine decides, in a sovereign way, on the path it wants to take. It has decided to file for membership of the European Union.

You know the criteria for such an accession, and if Ukraine fulfills these criteria, it is a welcome member within the European Union. Ukraine is and has to remain a sovereign actor, deciding on its own political and military alliances. In other words, no. That's just a big, fat no. No, you're not gonna get in. You're not gonna get in NATO. You can file, you can file, but you have to be sovereign.

No, that's a big no. He's standing next to, while he's doing this speech, of course, if you've got the coalition of the willing, our boy Mark Rutte is right there. Well, the whole of NATO agreed on the irreversible path for Ukraine into NATO, but we never agreed that as part of a peace deal. Ho, ho, ho, ho, Volodymyr, Zelensky, we've never agreed you can get into NATO's. There would be guaranteed NATO membership for Ukraine. No, no. That was never agreed. That was never said, dude, never, never.

But in the long term, NATO alliance has said, yes, there will be this perspective of NATO membership. Perspective, yes, maybe, if you're a good boy. For the longer term, not for the peace negotiations ongoing at the moment. No. As I said before, I'm happy that the American president and glad that he- My boss. Broke the deadlock, that progress is being made, and I completely agree with the German chancellor on the 30-day ceasefire, and that the bull is now clearly in Russia's court.

Oh, no, oh, no. It is the half court, not the full court. What are you talking about, Mark? That will piss off John C. On the side, Russia's. Who on the side? You put it. That's exactly true. And at the moment, there is a close cooperation between NATO and Ukraine. We have the command in Wiesbaden, which is organizing the military aid into Ukraine. We organize together and jointly the training for the Ukrainian armed forces.

We are catching all the lessons, which we are gathering in Ukraine, together with the Ukrainians in our center in Poland. So there's a lot happening at the moment. So no to NATO, you're not going to get in, but we gave you some NATO goodies, man, so shut up a little bit. And of course, of course, Rutte could not leave the meeting without a little sales pitch. I know there are many rumors floating around.

It's true that we are having internal discussions now within NATO, what will be the best way to make sure that we can fulfill all our tasks as NATO are going forward in the future. Money. Including of course, given the fact that we acknowledge the long-term threats Russia is posing. So it will be an absolute increase in defense spending. So I'm not going to confirm the figures. So don't worry about the truce or ceasefire, they're long-term threats, you need to spend your money.

Obviously, when you increase defense spending, you have to think about all the enabling tasks. Oh yes, oh yes, it's not just bullets. It's a lot of stuff, man. Connected to defense. And yes, I've always said this, if we stick at the 2%, we cannot defend ourselves. So we have to really increase defense spending, but that is not enough. We also have to build a defense industrial base.

They go hand in hand, because for a strong deterrence in defense, we can defend ourselves now, but to be able in five years time, to also be able to defend ourselves and to keep the deterrence in defense at the level we need, we need only to spend much more, but also to build that defense industrial base across the Atlantic, across the whole Euro-Atlantic area, including United States and Canada and all the European countries and NATO. It's crucial, we need to do both.

I said it before, the Russians are producing in three months in ammunition, but the whole of NATO, which is 25 times bigger, 25 times bigger than Russia in terms of the overall economy, we produce in one year in ammunition, but they produce in three months. So that's not sustainable. So just both spending and more production. The message is clear. That guy getting like working on commission? No, he's not smart enough for that. It's all for him.

I don't know, he seems pretty smart to me, the more I hear it. Well, according to our president, he's a great guy. He was a great prime minister of the Netherlands. He's just awesome. He's just, Mark, Mark, you were the best. You just did a great job, man. Just great. That's a typical show business thing, typical of Trump too. I'm a big fan of your work, man. Big fan of your work. I've worked with a lot of different people. You're absolutely the best. It's unbelievable.

I really feel privileged to be here in your presence. The line is big fan of your work, man. Big fan. Big fan. Big fan of your work. Big fan. Big fan. Big, big fan of your work. Whenever you hear that, that's a Hollywood bullcrap slide. Yeah, pull up your trousers. Stepping in it. So, of course. Putin! Is what everyone's looking at right now. You have a Putin clip here? You got something? I got a couple of Putin clips. I got two clips. One's a shorty from BBC World News, or World Service, sorry.

Let's start with that. In the past few minutes, President Putin has appeared live on television saying Russia seeks serious talks with Ukraine to remove the root causes of the conflict. He said he was offering immediate direct talks with Ukraine to take place in the Turkish city of Istanbul next Thursday, the 15th of May. He said he had never rejected dialogue with Kiev. Details are still coming in.

By the way, while the BBC's waiting for details, whenever you're ready, I have a bullet point translation of Putin's speech in his press conference. I only have one more clip, but you can go right after that. I just thought that that particular BBC clip, which was kind of to the point, just countered everything. But okay, let's go to NPR, and this is the Russia-Ukraine little bitty.

European leaders in Ukraine today pressed Russian President Putin to accept a 30-day unconditional ceasefire or face more sanctions. And here's Joanna Kikis' reports. The leaders say President Trump also supports this proposal. The leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland traveled to Kiev in their first joint appearance. They joined Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for a meeting of Western nations supporting Ukraine. Other leaders participated online via video link.

Zelensky and the four European leaders in Kiev also called President Trump. Zelensky told reporters Trump supports the ceasefire proposal. It's quite possible to monitor this ceasefire in coordination with the United States, Zelensky said. The ceasefire could start as early as Monday if Russia agrees to it. However, the Kremlin says it will oppose a ceasefire unless Western countries stop providing military aid to Ukraine. So very poor from NPR and BBC.

I mean, we have the best producers who speak Russian and translate stuff for us. So here's a bullet point bullet point of

Russian President Putin's press conference in order of appearance. The Kiev regime has repeatedly violated the 30 -day moratorium on attacks on energy facilities. The Easter truce was violated more than 5 ,000 times. Moscow has repeatedly put forward ceasefire initiatives. Kiev has sabotaged them. Russia has considered a further ceasefire based on Kiev's behavior during previous ceasefires. Since May 6th, the Kiev authorities have launched large-scale attacks on Russia, 524 drones.

During the days of the declared ceasefire, Ukraine has repeatedly attempted to attack the state border of the Russian Federation. All attacks have been repelled. The attacks were carried out solely for political reasons. The enemy suffered heavy losses. The Kiev authorities not only rejected the ceasefire proposals, but also tried to intimidate the foreign leaders gathered in Moscow. That was on the 8th. Who were they trying to intimidate?

The leaders who came to us were not leaders by position, but by character, and they were threatened by those who elevate former SS men to the rank of heroes. Russia is grateful to all foreign leaders for their efforts to end the Ukrainian conflict. The Kiev regime has repeatedly violated the 30 -day moratorium on attacks. Hold on, I got that part. The Ukrainian armed forces should not rearm and dig in during the ceasefire.

The decision is up to the leadership of Ukraine and their curators who want to continue the war with the hands of the Ukrainian nationalists. President Putin proposes Ukraine resume direct negotiations without any preconditions. We propose to begin Thursday, May 15th in Istanbul, the very place where they are interrupted in 2022. Our offer is on the table. Now it is up to the Ukrainian authorities and their handlers. This brings me to, this is interesting.

But the interesting part is the 524 drones, which brings me to a clip that I had produced about a month ago. Maybe you can try looking it up. Which we never played on the show, which was about drones, drones being produced in Ukraine by a factory there. And they've got, they're making drones and they're not using Iranian drones or anybody else's drones. They're actually making drones by the tons. And this is like their new business that they do. And it's never been talked about since.

I have the, this is from last month. Yeah, two clips. Could be.

Now, during recent talks in Saudi Arabia, both Kiev and Moscow confirmed their commitments to stop attacking each other's infrastructure, energy infrastructure. But Ukrainian president Zelensky has already accused Russia of violating that agreement. And Ukraine, it's also- It says Ukraine drone maker. Oh, well, maybe it is. I think it is. I just don't remember. It's so long, I can't remember how the clip's structured.

Question, is it willing to ground its long range drones used to strike oil facilities? Now, the BBC's Abdul Jalil Abdurasulov has visited a secret Ukrainian facility where they make them. At a secret location, Ukrainian engineers work on the development of new long range drones. They drill, glue, and assemble parts of a model called a RayBird. This drone can cover a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers and stay in the air for up to 28 hours. Wow. So it can easily reach cities like Moscow.

RayBird is effectively a spy aircraft. Roman Knizhenko, the head of SkyTone, the company that develops these drones. The idea was to create the system that can control and monitor big areas or extended areas like borders of the country and so on. And it's one of the most advanced system in the world right now in terms of reconnaissance. It's not too many aircrafts able to work so deep on the enemy territory. RayBird identifies targets and directs fire.

Among the targets are Russia's oil refineries and fuel depots. Okay. Yeah, that brings us to the point that was just made when Putin, according to the list of talking points, said that they're still attacking the energy infrastructure. These drones are the ones that are responsible and that also connects to the 524 drones that were launched against Russia, whether they're ballistic or not. I just found that's where that information triggered my thoughts on this old clip that we never addressed.

Right. Well, so he refers to the 2022 talks in Istanbul. Isn't that where Boris Johnson thwarted everything or was that before Boris Johnson- I thought Johnson went straight to Kiev to do that. I'm not sure, but I don't really remember. I honestly don't remember them doing the talks in Istanbul at all. I have one more clip here. This is a former Ukrainian negotiator, Volker.

A meeting between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin is clearly on the radar, the Kremlin spokesperson said, but as Moscow seems to be sending the signals about its willingness to meet the US president. What is the response from Washington? Former US special representative for Ukraine negotiations told Euronews Donald Trump would want to meet Putin as well, but under certain conditions. I do think he would like to meet Putin, but after there's a ceasefire.

He wants to end the war and then he would like to rebuild a relationship with Russia. He thinks that you could reintegrate Russia into a global economy. You could do business deals with Russia, but Putin has to stop the war first. And as Putin is not doing that, the prospects for a Trump-Putin meeting are looking farther and farther away. It doesn't seem to me that the EU and their aspiring entrant Ukraine really want peace. It just doesn't feel like it.

Well, I think we've determined that already on this show. Yeah. That the EU is a bunch of warmongers and they don't want peace. They want- And they're gonna do anything to stop it. They want to spend more money on military stuffs. Sad. You know, they get their tit in the ringer for doing stuff like this. You know, we were talking about the, about

a big fan of your work, just staying in Europe, but really this is more about tariffs with Queen Ursula. This is our president complimenting the queen. Are you planning to meet Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Council anytime soon? Oh, she's so fantastic, Rick. She's so fantastic. I hope we're gonna meet. Yeah, the answer is yes. I saw her, actually, I saw her a few days ago. And I think that we'll definitely meet, yeah. The European Union is a big thing.

They want to make a deal very badly. You know, everybody wants to make a deal. Look, everybody wants to make a deal with the United States and we're doing that and we're making, we're gonna make fair deals. I'm just honored that this was the first one. I just love her, man. I'm a big fan of her work. Ursula, Queen Ursula, she's the best. Well, as you remember from the Cochran clip, where he looks, Trump is a natural at finding weak spots.

It's obvious by her hairdo and the way she handles herself that she would love to be flattered. Well, it's funny you say that because they asked Queen Ursula about this. If after Trump, President Trump yesterday said that yourself, you're a fantastic leader. Do you think that now you are closer to visiting the White House and what could, when, that could that be? So, thank you very much. I like compliments in general.

So, negotiations, as always, nothing is negotiated till everything is negotiated. So, it's against the simple rules of negotiations if you give in between details which are not totally agreed now with the whole package. Therefore, unfortunately, I will, of course, not go into any kind of details. But this is all, all the negotiations in the very end have to be concluded. We were always transparent from the very beginning.

We always said we prefer negotiated solution, but we also develop countermeasures. And this is now the process where we have to develop these countermeasures to put this instrument on the table. We have other instruments on the table. We will not take anything off the table till we have a satisfactory result. Blah, blah, blah, blah. But I, for me, it's important that if I go to the White House, I want to have a package. I've got instruments on the table and I want a package.

You're gonna get a package. She probably wants a package bad. You're gonna get the package. I'm pretty sure you get the package. So you're right. She must be easy to, she must be an easy sell because she's the one, even though, I mean, she's good at covering it up, but that deal that she made for the vaccines. Oh, that's gonna come out? No, the, what's the- I don't know if that's ever gonna come out.

Well, the crazy, not crazy, but the German woman in the EU parliament with the black hair, the short black hair, what's her name? You know who I'm talking about. She's like, rah, this is no good. She's finally got her commission together. What's her name again? I don't know. Yeah, she's a bulldog. Hold on a second. EU Commission Vaccines, COVID. Come on, what is her name? You know her name. I can't, come on, troll room.

Anyway, she finally has her commission or committee, commission, whatever it is. And she's out on the social saying, it's all gonna come out. We're gonna get to SMS gate. Yeah. Because yeah.

I'm predicting nothing's gonna come of it. Well, you're so skeptical. The Epstein docs are gonna drop any day. I'm waiting for that one. And the millions of tapes. Have you noticed Bill Gates starting to show up all over the place talking about his $200 million? Interesting you say that. First of all, just the background. First of all, he shows up on NPR's news hour, sorry, PBS news hour with a, and he's interviewed by the woman there. And he's going on and on.

He's sitting there with some douche that is the head of the new guy. Never seen him before. The head of the Gates Foundation. And they're going on about he's gonna drop, I'm gonna drop 200 billion. I'm gonna drop it. And then he shows up on Colbert all of a sudden. And then all this came, coincidentally all came up after Pam Bondi shows up with her, oh, I got, we got 10,000 videotapes of all these guys screwing girls. What are we gonna do with it? We're going through them one by one.

It'll take a while. So he's gonna close the foundation. Yeah. He's gonna give away all his money. And that's, yeah. He's gonna twilight it or something, moonlight it, or I forget the term he uses. I don't think, I'm looking at the, oh, well, let's see what his social media post was. I'm looking at Bloomberg talking about it. Bill Gates plans to give away virtually all his $113 billion. Here's the impacts. It doesn't say it. But I don't understand.

This guy's given away all his money a hundred times. With Buffett and then Buffett again. And then he's really, he's made this a profit center somehow. Big time. Yeah, I agree with you. I thought that was really interesting. The minute it kind of heats up in Epstein land, he's like, I'm gonna give away all my, there's no money. There's no money. Look at me, look at me, I'm great. Nobody's gonna hate a guy who can give away this kind of money to help the poor. Well, how about that?

And I'm closing it down so I can take some and get on my yacht and sail away. That's what you wanna do. Get on your yacht. You got people investigating non-extradition countries as we speak. Yeah, what's a good one to go to for him? Argentina. Speaking of the South, this kind of slipped

by us, but did you even follow this story from Rubio and the Venezuelan hostages? No. No, yeah, he listened to this. Right now we're following breaking news. Breaking. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is announcing the rescue of five opposition members from Venezuela. Rubio posted on X saying that following an operation, all the members are on US soil tonight. The opposition group had been taking shelter at the Argentine embassy in Caracas for more than a year to avoid arrest by the Maduro regime.

It's still not clear how the opposition members exited the embassy. This is language, this is setting up for something. When you say he rescued them, the operation, what was this? Was this like with helicopters and black ops? What happened here? I've gotten nothing since this report. Some sort of black op where you have the guys in disguise. What is it though? Or is it just setting up Venezuela? Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. That Venezuela is being set up for something, possibly. Possibly.

Well, they do have to find these mechanisms to sneak people out of the embassies around the world in all countries. You got somebody in there trying to get out of there. That's another thing. I just love the Fred Freakoff networks. So the latest, you know, USAID never went away. By the way, that Freakout network in the nearby communities there is a goldmine. It's the best. It's the best. And I tell them flat out, I'm talking about this on the show.

They're like, yeah, you should because it's important. You should. That's exactly what you would say to that type of person. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, but get the word out. These are my friends. I love them. But I laugh at them, right? I'm like, oh, come on, man. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. So the latest is USAID never went away. It just all got folded into the State Department and Rubio's not to be trusted. To which I actually had to say, well. No, that's reasonable thought. I mean.

It's not out of control. They actually did close down USAID and the people like Samantha Powers are no longer in control of it. But yes, of course, USAID was a CIA slush fund and the State Department is the CIA home. Well, the State Department has their own agency. They're not the CIA's home necessarily. They work together. But all the embassies is where the spook's going. I mean, let's just be honest about it. They work very closely together. And Rubio, yeah, okay, yeah. Who knows?

We'll find out about Rubio. So that was one. What was the other one? Oh, Suzy Wiles. Yeah. Snake. She's a snake. Snake? She's a snake. She's not to be trusted. She's the chief of staff, Suzy Wiles? She's, there used to be a football announcer named Summer Hall, Summer Hill, Summer Hall. What the hell is his last name? Very famous. He used to work with John Madden on the NFL broadcasts. That's her dad. Oh yeah, I think we knew that somehow. Yeah. So yeah. So she had broadcasting chops.

I guess my overall observation is, is that there's a lot of, you know, now everyone's looking, who can we trust? Who can we trust? Who can we not trust? There's snakes everywhere. There's stuff going on. There's lots of things. Now, of course, you know, so then they'll ask me like, what do you think about the chemtrails? Like, well, that's real, obviously. So, you know, I'm on their side too. But the Fred Freak Out or Freak Off network is amazing. I love it. I love them. I love it.

And they always come to me if they need to be calmed down. Except chemtrails, like, no, that stuff's real, man. Don't calm them down about that. I'll jack them up. They're spraying us like bugs, baby. It's worse than you think. Now this, I made a call.

I made a big call out and I called out our producers. I'm like, where are you people? Where are you people? And it happened again. I hope you, I know what you're going to go into. And I would hope that we have some information. I think this whole thing is a fraud. Delays mounted again at one of the nation's most important international hubs today. If only they could blame it all on the weather. Our scopes just went black again.

If you care about this, contact the airline and try to get some pressure from them to fix this up. Sorry to hear about that. FedEx 19, I am switching. Good luck, guys. For the third time in two weeks, radars failed at a facility in Philadelphia where controllers managed the airspace in and around Newark Airport. They were unable to see where planes were in relation to one another. And it lasted for 90 seconds.

The so-called Philadelphia Tracon has been the center of controversy since the FAA forced controllers who handle Newark to move from a similar center on Long Island. It's their new digs loaded with technology that was state of the art in the 1970s that have failed repeatedly, leaving controllers traumatized and taking leave, thus reducing the number of flights allowed to fly to Newark, a necessary safety restriction that's led to hours-long delays.

Governor, it's been almost two weeks since the Newark Airport incident. Today, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy ignored questions about the situation at his state's most important airport. Yesterday, U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy used Newark as Exhibit A in his multibillion-dollar push to overhaul the entire nation's system. You will see Newark's, not just in Newark, you'll see Newark's in other parts of the country because it's an aging system. And so we have to actually upgrade it.

But that coast-to-coast project will take years to complete. The White House stressing temporary fixes are already underway to strengthen the resiliency of the Philadelphia facility that's caused all this chaos. The FAA are working to address this technical issue tonight to prevent further outages, as well as install new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia. And the goal is to have the totality of this work done by the end of the summer.

Okay, so that report actually buried the lead of our girl in the White House, Levitt. I need to play her entire one-minute segment on this crisis. Yes, I'm glad you asked about the FAA. There was a glitch in the system this morning. I got 99 glitches. Glitch. Glitch. Interesting. And put a goatee on there, will ya? So I do not accept from as much as we like you, Ms. Levitt, saying it's a glitch is a cop-out, it's bullcrap.

And of course, not a single one of the journalists in the briefing room, including whoever was in the new media seat, said, what exactly is a glitch? Okay. Yes, I'm glad you asked about the FAA. There was a glitch in the system this morning, especially at Newark Airport. As you all know, I spoke to the Department of Transportation. That glitch was caused by the same telecoms and software issues that were raised last week.

Everyone, everything went back online after the brief outage, and there was no operational impact. DOT and the FAA are working to address this technical issue tonight to prevent further outages, as well as install new fiber from Newark Airport to Philadelphia. And the goal is to have the totality of this work done by the end of the summer.

There's a four-part infrastructure plan that was released by the Secretary of Transportation yesterday to improve communication, surveillance, automation, and their facilities. They want to replace the antiquated telecom systems with new fiber, wireless, and satellite technologies, replace more than 600 radars, which have gone way past their life cycle, and address runway safety.

They want to build six new air traffic control centers for the first time since the 1960s, and replace towers as well. They want to implement, excuse me, new modern hardware and software for all traffic facilities to create a common platform system throughout the towers. Okay, well, John, you already guessed it, of course. They just happen to have this six-year plan for all these new radar systems, and everything, I just released this today. It's coincidental.

This is a total setup, total bullcrap. And I cite from our boots on the

ground from not one, but two air traffic controllers. They happen to live together, the anonymous controller and his anonymous controller wife, because we have the best producers in the universe. And they said, hey, okay, we heard you. We thought it was such a non-event, we didn't even bother to talk to you. But yes, of course, it sounds like a couple of things, possibly. A scheduled outage, a work of sabotage to grab headlines for money. The controllers taking leave is nothing.

Sick leave is abused by controllers regularly. Rarely are there any questions asked. So right there, we already know that part of this recording is bullcrap. On the scheduled outage side, if there was a headline for every time an aircraft went nordo, and what is nordo? No operations radio something or other. And frequencies went out momentarily, it would be as often as the weather segment on your local news station.

An example of this, when the Nashville RV bomber happened a few years back, that explosion affected our main frequency standbys and backups in four sectors, I believe affecting Memphis Center frequencies as well, which is very busy. Mass chaos ensued after, however, regardless of what the Trump administration is trying to sell on the clips provided, the United States is the best ATC system in the world, and we are the best controllers in the world. Foam finger number one.

No one knows what this magic- Can I stop for a second? Yes. This is the reason nobody wrote in right away. They thought it was, like this is- This is, he's expressing what it was. What, why? Oh, should we send something in? No, this is common, this happens all the time. Well, why are we writing a note to Adam about this? Because he wants- So you had to bitch and moan and bitch and moan and bitch and moan, you finally got somebody to say, okay, here's the reason. Yes. Yeah, so that makes sense.

Referring to Secretary Duffy, and I have the clip here. What is this magical system Duffy is talking about? No one knows. Reality is, even if it's passed tomorrow, it won't be implemented for 10 years, and by then it's out of date. That's how government works. Again, you wanna help ATC system? It's no keyboards or fancy screens. It's weather, ground, radar updates, and comms.

That's how you improve the system. Side note, we're huge Trump supporters, still don't understand what all this means or what it even looks like. And they listen to you, John. The antiquated radio systems, that's part of the problem. If the Trump administration is detailing plans for what it calls the biggest overhaul of air traffic control in the country's history. NBC's Tom Costello is in Washington. Tom, it's a pretty tall task ahead. Whoa, Tom!

Yeah, it really is, and Secretary Sean Duffy says it will take three to four years and cost many billions of dollars, but the country must upgrade from its 50-year-old ATC systems that really suffer serious glitches every single week. The plan calls for a brand new radio system, fiber optic data feeds, and new radars. Radios and radars recently went down in Newark, leaving controllers in the dark. The DOT also wants to build new towers, new tracons, new runway safety systems.

The nation's airlines, controller, and pilot unions all support the plan, saying air travel needs an urgent upgrade and a safety fix. Keyword unions all support the system. Yeah, okay. Yeah, it'll happen. They'll get them something. But the other shoe that will drop, I'm just waiting for it is, this is because Pete Buttigieg did nothing. That's the main thing to try to push that a lot. That's coming. Did you get the clip of Trump talking about him and his husband on the bike? No, no, I didn't.

I didn't. Oh, damn it. I should try to go back and find that clip. Because Pete was too obsessed with EV charging stations. That's the kicker. Well, of which they built one. Oh. Well, Colorado was joining 16 other states suing the Trump administration to free up funds to build electric car chargers. Now, the money was approved by Congress, but then President Trump froze it with an executive order.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser argues that's illegal for the administration to block the distribution of already approved funds. The state already had plans to spend tens of millions of dollars, and he says without the money, it's gonna be difficult to build out electric vehicle infrastructure. And I can just remind everybody why the billions of dollars was not spent on EV charging stations is because it was all earmarked for minority-owned businesses.

It was a DEI bill in disguise, and they couldn't find any businesses that qualified to do the work. That's why the money was never spent. So. Well, that's a good point. Yeah, yeah. It makes sense. But still, it's more fun to blame Pete Buttigieg. Now's the time not to do these things, by the way, especially if, you know, I'm still skeptical of the Toyota solid-state battery.

But there's a battery, supposedly, solid-state. They call it solid-state. It's just a different engineered style of battery that supposedly goes, supposedly. And it's not a super cap. No one's gonna make those. Super capacitive. Unless you wanna see somebody blow up. Can you imagine? You're looking out at the freeway, and there's just a car just blows up. For those of you who have never blown up a capacitor, it's a lot of fun. A super capacitor could create quite the explosion, I'm sure.

A regular little capacitor, I've had it happen to me once in a computer. Oh yeah, like one of those little blue ones or the yellow ones? It was a little, I don't know which one it was, and I don't know what the capacity was because what was left of it, you couldn't tell. Yeah, it's like paper wound, and it stinks. It's like a cherry bomb going off inside the computer. And it's frightening.

Yeah, because they pop. They really pop. Caps pop, baby, they pop. So this new battery in Toyota, supposedly leading the pack, even though BYD and these other guys wanna try to keep up, BYD is probably to do it. But it's supposed to have 10-minute charging. Oh yeah, as long as you're connected to a power station. Yeah, well, there's always that. The other, yes, the whole thing has got issues. You need a megawatt to charge it, but otherwise it's fine.

You got one of those, just plug it into your outlet. It'll work. It's gonna melt the wires. Hey, what's your propaganda clips? I've been looking at those all morning. I'm like, it says cool propaganda.

That's a series of clips of NPR. This, if you're ready for it. I'm ready. I don't know how much time we have before the break. No, but we got plenty of time. We got oodles, oodles, oodles. This is my NPR trying to, NPR and PBS is trying to do anything they can to kind of make it clear that Trump's no good and that they're trying to take our money and they're trying to ruin broadcasting as we know it. But before we play that, I do want to play, for example. You do, you do want to play.

You do want to play. I do. Now this clip is a mess because it's titled Untitled, so that's always a giveaway. And this was, I'm just, this is a very short, these are all short clips, by the way, so this'll go pretty quick. This is an example of NPR at its finest.

This is a woman comes on and she's going to discuss horror films and their effect on children and they're gonna bring these experts on and talk about horror films and what can they do to children and then I had to cut it for obvious reasons. What's a healthy little scare for kids and what is potentially scarring? Well, we wanted to talk to two people who have had broadly different experiences when it comes to thinking about horror movies for kids.

All Things Considered producer and film buff, Megan Lim. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. And NPR music and pop culture critic and father of two young adults now, Stephen Thompson. Hey, hey. Hey, hey, it's great to be here. Great to have you both. Okay, so I don't have kids. So, okay, she doesn't got kids, so who cares? So then we go to listen to NPR and this is another example of this kind of thing. This is another seven second clip. This is NPR house ad.

This is a house ad for the kind of programming that we're gonna get that we need government money for. Imagine if you will, a show from NPR that's not like NPR. A show that focuses not on the important, but the stupid. Wait, let me hear that again. Imagine if you will, a show from NPR that's not like NPR. A show that focuses not on the important, but the stupid. Yeah. Well, you cut it off, so I'm a little suspicious. You know, it's stupid.

It wasn't anything, no, believe me, I didn't cut it off like a Michelle Obama type clip. Okay. So we'll go to NPR leveraging FedCut. Now here's where they start to bitch. Oh, you've got a huge NPR thing today. This is good, I like it. Well, if you just trying to show people that they send money to the Noah Jenner show is well spent. Yes. As opposed to this. You may have heard that President Trump has issued an executive order seeking to block all federal funding to NPR.

This is the latest in a series of threats to media organizations across the country. Whatever changes this action brings, NPR's commitment to reporting the news without fear or favor will never change. Your support means that we'll be here for you tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. It's time to join the movement to defend public media. Yeah, get the plus, get the bundle, get the bundle. Become a concierge member.

So after complaining about them, so first, so they go after Trump by, you know, how else can we go after him? Radio Free Europe. So this starts with, before we get to

the propaganda clips, this is a RFE, this is a promo, this is a teaser for their RFE, fighting RFE clips. I think a lot of mainstream press might see us almost like primary source material. RFA's reporters have a history of uncovering genocide, war crimes, and disinformation campaigns. They don't just follow the news cycle, they often lead it. And now, they're fighting to survive. Oh, that's, but hold on.

Your No Agenda Show has actual people who work in the places where the bullcrap is taking place, like air traffic controllers. Support your No Agenda Show today. Yes. So now, this is another promotion. This is RFE promotion, Radio Free Europe promotion number two. Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one claim - No, no, that's not true. It's owned by Disney, Soros, or at least he has ownership in it.

There's a lot of billionaires that own media, but not, I mean, the New York Times is owned by a Mexican billionaire and some other billionaire from Saudi Arabia. The LA Times is an Asian billionaire. Asian billionaire, a doctor. They're not tech billionaires. What tech billionaire owns major media, a major media company? Well, it's the only- Elon Musk owns Twitter. That's it. Well, the Washington Post, yeah, Washington Post. Those are, no, that's not every single one. Are you calling this fake?

Go back to that clip. Start it over. Most of our media are owned by a handful of tech billionaires, but there's one place that still operates like the internet was never invented. On the new season of The Divided Dial from On The Media, we're exploring shortwave radio, where prayer and propaganda coexist with news and conspiracy theories, and where an existential battle for the public airwaves is playing out right now. Listen to On The Media wherever you get your podcasts.

Wow, okay, first of all, this has been queued up in my podcast player for like four days, and I didn't know what it was about because I saw The Divided Dial. They're really doing an in-depth dive on what's on shortwave radio? As if. Anyone listens to it. This is the joke of it. As if everybody in Europe has got a shortwave radio and they're holed up in some attic and they're tuning in to the illegal broadcast coming in. Vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, vrooom.

The Dutch, Wereldumroep, the Dutch World Service, they shut down all of their broadcast transmitters and towers in Bonaire because no one was listening to it. Everyone's on the internet. Nobody listens to shortwave radio. It's 2025, nobody is tuning in, looking for the broadcast to give us the truth. This is bullshit. I'm sure there's a couple of pastors there doing this thing. They're probably out there. So here we go. So now we have- I am, this is shortwave coming to you from Texas.

Vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, vrooom, vrooom. The Muslims are coming to take over. So they moan and groan about Radio Free Europe and Voice of America being shut down. They're gonna have to go broke. But then they go on to this propaganda series, which is the clips that you saw. About Radio Free Asia. Now, I never heard of Radio Free Asia, but they make it sound as though this is the big deal. Is it on shortwave? Yeah, it's a shortwave. All these Asians are all over Asia and Vietnam.

Radio Free Asia. And they're in China, in the outskirts of the rural China. And they've got the antenna that's out there. They hope they don't get caught. And they're tuning the dial on the shortwave so they can get the truth. This is nonsense. Wait a minute.

So what they're saying here, just so I get it straight, they are trying to protect their own bacon by saying, they're not just killing our funding, they're killing this critical information source for the rest of the world in these incredibly dictator-led suppressed countries like, I don't know, South Korea, Japan, who now can't get the truth on shortwave. Exactly, you nailed it. That's exactly what they're trying to do here. But it's like a vision of the 1940s or 30s where the guy, again, is in

the attic trying to tune in the radio, the truth that's coming across. So let's listen to this propaganda which came across NPR, Radio Free Asia, part one. From Recorded Future News, this is Click Here. You may not remember, but COVID began as a mystery illness. Stop the clip, stop the clip. Am I doing it wrong? No, no, you're doing it right. I just had to, I forgot I had to set this one up. They start off, this is what's a great, this is a great clip.

They start off, this is gonna be a COVID, I'm listening, so this is gonna be interesting. It's gonna be a retrospective on how they screwed up the COVID coverage. And all of a sudden they switch gears in just like you did earlier in the show when you switched over from the fact you didn't pick the right pope to your prediction about the erectile dysfunction. Beautifully, they do the same thing. And it's not about COVID, it's about Radio Free Asia. I don't know how they got that.

From Recorded Future News, this is Click Here. You may not remember, but COVID began as a mystery illness. Growing concern about a new and rare pneumonia -like virus that has caused at least two deaths and has spread from China to other countries in Asia. We suddenly noticed that there was a surge of pings, people trying to reach us from inside Wuhan. And this was because they were getting no - Oh man, hold on, pings? You mean someone was sending them email or a WhatsApp message?

What kind of pings? A ping, it was a ping. Was it like ping, like a radar, like a sonar or something? People trying to reach us from inside Wuhan. And this was because they were getting no information from their own government about what was happening around them. And they knew that something was happening. The Chinese government was trying to cover something up. Turns out it was COVID deaths. Wow. They reported a few thousand at the time.

And our reporters called the crematories in the Wuhan area and got the numbers of urns that they were putting out, talked to people on the ground, and basically found that the number was 100 times that. And they put that out. And it was not until a couple of weeks later that US intelligence reports actually confirmed that. And it was reported by CNN. Hold on, John. I'm getting some pings. I'm getting a surge of pings. They're trying to contact you from Wuhan.

So you think that this is a, oh, this is going to be interesting. It's going to be a expose or something or other. Here we go. Here's what it really is about. And it was reported by CNN. Base says that Radio Free Asia has had that kind of impact, not just on policy and world events, but in fighting against China's dis- and misinformation. How do you make that switch? Let me hear that again. That was pretty quick. That was, I mean, it took me at least a minute and a half.

They did it in like 30, 15 seconds. And it was reported by CNN. Base says that Radio Free Asia has had that kind of impact, not just on policy and world events, but in fighting against China's dis- and misinformation campaigns. Which, by the way, everybody was all in on. It was xenophobia to even suggest it came from China, but okay. So when the news came that the Trump administration was trying to pull the plug, they was surprised. It was on a Saturday. What was that laughter about?

Trying to pull the plug. They was surprised. It was on a Saturday. So I was just at home and got this email from Carrie Lake saying that our grants had been terminated because we no longer effectuate the priorities of the administration. And so what was the first thing that went through your head? The first thing that went through my head was how is it that we don't effectuate the priorities of the administration anymore?

And, you know, when everything I've heard, especially in the national security space and the administration is that we are very impactful and important. This grant, $60 million, is our annual budget that we're given. And it's peanuts compared with the billions of dollars that China puts in every year into its global media influence campaign. After the news about ending RFA's funding was announced, the state-owned media in China sent off a flurry of posts. Flurry.

With, you know, social media posts celebrating this decision. You know, basically they are happy because one of the strongest voices that challenges their narrative is gone. Wow. This is really interesting. I'm sure they won't talk about it, but just to bring in the Obama era overturning of the Smith-Mundt Act, it was specifically for these types of operations, for voice-free, radio-free Europe, radio-free Asia, voice of America.

It was specifically modernized, i.e. didn't count anymore, because the US government is not allowed to propagandize its own people. And they realized that with all the stuff they were doing on the internet, that they would probably be propagandizing the American people, and they needed to do it, because they really need to do it. And it was actually a bonanza for them. And so we all know that this is bullcrap. And now they're all high and mighty, like, well, you know, this is important stuff.

This is like Tokyo Rose, America style. Who are they kidding? It's totally Tokyo Rose. Who are they kidding? Yeah, yeah, and they think the Chinese are dumb, I guess. And by the way, what influence does the Chinese propaganda arm have? I mean, it's not NTD. What do they have here? Well, they have CGTV, which used to be CCTV, and they have a new show, and it's kind of like the BBC, only it doesn't have a lot of stuff on it. BBC is actually- They don't even have any podcasters on their payroll.

Like Russia, Russia had some podcasters. Oh, they might, but they're doing a better job. Again, again, again, no offers. Where's our money? Where's our offer? All right. If Radio Free- Sorry. I'm sorry, it's just, it's laughable, this whole thing. If Radio Free Asia stops broadcasting, lots of important news will go uncovered. Not just a mystery virus in Wuhan or detentions in Xinjiang, but more immediate events, like what's going on in the streets of Burma right now.

These are all things that the authoritarian rulers of these countries would like to hide, because the Chinese Communist Party is most afraid of is its own people. And for their people to lose the knowledge of what their government is doing, what's happening around them, it's hugely beneficial to the Chinese Communist Party and to all of these authoritarian rulers around Asia.

Do they provide any proof of how incredibly beneficial it is to these people who have better internet technologies than we do? They provide no proof, and there's a contradiction in what she said, which is that the Chinese government's afraid of its own people. Well, if that, yeah, maybe. I mean, every government should be afraid of their own people but what have these guys done to stir up the masses? I don't see any evidence of it.

No, they- Well- The Uyghurs are still imprisoned if they're there. We don't know any details. The Wuhan virus is a scam. Yeah, and since when- You know, it's always a wet market. Where'd that information come from? And what did Radio Free Asia have to do with it? The pangolins. Now we go to clip four, which has got a, what I call a WTF moment. And the situation for Radio Free Asia has gone from dire to devastating.

On May 2nd, RFA told its staff that it was eliminating 280 positions in the United States. That's about 90% of its domestic workforce. And it's also cutting 20 more jobs overseas. Okay, let's look at the, what is- Let's do the numbers here. KCBS, which does news 24-7 in the San Francisco Bay Area, just news, news, news. It's only- They got 18 people. No, they got a hundred, about a hundred.

Yeah. But they don't have, for example, this is Radio Free Asia and they're bragging about all their coverage. Is there, do they have reporters over there? Because they said they laid out 280, which is 90% of their workforce, that were all in the United States. What are they doing? They're receiving surges- Making phone calls? Receiving ping surges of pings.

They're looking- I mean, the Daily Newspaper has maybe a major, major giant paper that produces tons of material like the Los Angeles Times. 80 people, 80 people. No, they got about a thousand. Go. A thousand at the Los Angeles Times? Yes. Actually, I think the Los Angeles Times is probably closer to 1,500 to 2,000. But that includes printing press people, sales people, editors on top of editors. The number of reporters is probably a couple hundred max. People who organize meetings.

Meetings guys. AV people for the meetings. Copy editors, typesetting systems. Catering, catering, yes. People to polish the microphones. It's more than a new, you know, compared to a radio station like KCBS is, I think, more apt. And that's maybe 150, maybe 200. And that includes sales guys. And these guys don't need sales people. That's a lot of people. Well, question. Do they have any video products? Or is it just all audio? No, it's just all shortwave. Well, wait. Shortwave.

Well, they do websites too. I'm sure they do that. Yes, they do websites. You're right. They all have to have gone to websites. So there's websites here and there. And I guess it takes a webmaster. Remember that term? Yes. Who's your webmaster? Oh, we don't use that term here. We have a webmistress. Remember that? I only remember that vaguely because there was some people were uppity about using the term master. Yeah, I'm looking to see if they have any video products. They have any video?

Let me see, video. Yeah, video. Let's take a look at their video products. Dalai Lama in New York. Yeah, that's going to free the people in China. Yeah, they got some- Talking about the Dalai Lama. They're doing, they got some guy in a webcam here. Okay, so not a lot of video products. So yeah, so it's mainly audio and web stuff. Man, think about what we could do with that kind of budget. And what was their budget? 60 million?

In some other clipboards they don't have on this series, they said, we're going to go bankrupt. All right, so let's play the, this is the last clip, which has a kicker. Beifong called it an unconscionable situation. And it's unclear what will happen next. But a May 6th announcement might provide a clue. Senior presidential advisor, Carrie Lake, the person who told RFA in an email back in March that their grants had been canceled, said Voice

of America, another federally funded broadcaster, would be taking in a new newsfeed. She said, One American News Network, a reliably pro-Trump television channel, would be providing newsfeeds for Voice of America's foreign audiences at no taxpayer cost. Wow. It's unclear whether outlets like Radio Free Europe and RFA will be swept in that move too. Wow. Unreported. Tells you a lot a bit about that outfit, doesn't it? You heard it here first.

Wow. Yeah, One American News, the schlockmeister, the girl with too much makeup, and the other guy who's always angry, and then Chanel Rihanna and some of these other people that do interviews. And by the way, they have a OAN feed here in the Bay Area that comes over the air. It's always a week old. Wow. Everything that comes over is a week old. It's like, it's very strange.

I don't know why they do a week old news, but so OAN, which is, you know, it's sometimes fun to watch, but it's fourth rate. Well, let's see what OAN has today. They've got top news. They got multiple Dem lawmaker arrests on the table after storming ICE facility. Let's see, report. Online users praise photo of Carolyn Levitt feeding baby while working. Uh-huh. Okay. Yeah, look at her. Super mom, she's super mom. Gold rush 2.0, record prices, jewelry meltdowns,

and a Bitcoin boom. U.S. Postal Service 3.3, this is good news. It's good stuff. Well, it's news. Well, if it's free, and you're going to give it to Voice of America, you don't have to pay all these characters, all kinds of extra money. Well, yeah. They have my favorite story, front and center. Apple's plan to offer AI search options on Safari, a blow to Google dominance. Who could have seen that coming?

Alphabet shares dropped 7% after Apple says, after Q, Eddie Q is now the spokeshole for this stuff. You remember Eddie Q? Well, yeah. Eddie Q used to be in charge of podcasting. He was the iTunes guy. He's now the senior vice president of internet software and services. And he said, yeah, I'm pretty sure we're going to have artificial intelligence services instead of a Google search. They pay, or Google pays them $7 billion a quarter, I think. Some astronomical amount.

How come Apple shares didn't sink? Yeah, it's saving Google money. Yeah, but Google shares go down. Well, it's because those advertisements have ads. I mean, I'm sorry, those searches, results have ads which Google monetized. And so Google probably makes them three times the $7 billion that they get. I wonder, you've really got to wonder about Apple. I've always thought that these guys, for some reason, they really want to be in the advertising game.

They've always kind of dipped their toe in, taken it out. I think they really want it. They really, someone must irk them that Google has all that advertising money. Where- Oh, that could be. You know, they definitely, you know, once you start putting all this AI on your phone, I don't think it's a good idea. Because, you know, it's not about displaying- Those guys are making money off of our backs. Yes, because it's not about, they are, literally.

Because all of the apps, the apps are the things that are tracking, they're tracking your, how you hold the phone, where you're walking, or driving, or all of this stuff. So they're like, well, we can sell that data. And, but don't worry, we'll keep it on our exclusive little secure chip on your phone. It'll never leave your phone. I got to wonder, got to wonder.

I mean, to give up $20 billion a year, give or take, to integrate someone else's AI products into your phone and not take the money from Google, there's got to be something else to it. Even Eddie, Eddie Q's not stupid. Let me see. Give him a call. Hey, Eddie. Hey, Eddie. I bet you- Adam. I bet you wouldn't take my call. I bet you would. Yeah, I don't think I have his number. But I'm sure it's E.Q. That's Apple .com. Well, that brings me to a couple technology items of note.

First of all, we laughed and I certainly had, I was unaware of the new definition of raw dogging. We've talked about this, came up.

Was it in one of your clips that this came up, the raw dogging? Yeah, raw dogging. And I still think that this has been, this is a plant to get that, the bonehead that who's done it before on NBC, that guy who's, they were CBS, that character that was on there, he was busted before for saying stuff that was, he's just naive. He doesn't know it when he says, he's the one who introduced it. Yeah, okay. Now all of a sudden this has been the definition. I saw that.

Well, the thing is, of all the people who should know about this new definition of the term raw dogging, it should be you because it is a TikTok trend. This is where it comes from. It's called raw dogging. I'm reading this from Travel Week. A new trend that's blowing up on social media, particularly among males requiring people to sit through a long haul flight with zero distractions or forms of entertainment. This means no phones, movies, music, books, or even sleep, food, or water.

If people can just sit there for hours without any stimuli, they get instant bragging rights, i.e. raw dogging. What bragging rights are there? Who are you bragging to? Well, I was on the plane and I was like putty in that Seinfeld movie or Seinfeld show where he sat there next to Elaine and he didn't move and didn't say anything. It doesn't make any sense. So here's a TikTok clip that I see. It's like, what do we see? Just raw dogged a seven hour flight.

No headphones, no movie, no water, nothing incredible. The power of my mind knows no bounds. Yeah, it's like a fast. It's like a fast of water and technology. Well, in general, a good idea. Not to not drink water for hours on end. Well, no, but to not use technology, I think that's a good trend. I'm all for it. I like this trend. It's good. It's a good trend. Stinks. Like you care. Like when's the last time you were on an actual aircraft? I mean- I'm not flying around. It's too dangerous.

The air traffic control is down. It needs to be modernized. Yours had propellers. When I was a kid, you had to go out and start the engine with a shotgun. That's the line I was looking for. Shotgun shell, start that DC-3 engine. Anyway, in the technology sphere, never let a good United Nations development report go to waste.

The new UND report is out 2025 and Queen Ursula is all over it. It's a real pleasure to speak to you

today and to welcome this vital report on artificial intelligence. The UNDP helps millions of people every year, but a lot has changed in the 60 years since the UNDP was created. Now, where do you think she's going with this? What do you think is in this new United Nations development plan report for 2025? Climate change. No, well, partially. It's part of the kicker, but no, no, no, no. The world is facing many new challenges and artificial intelligence is one of the biggest. This is it, baby.

AI coming to Europe. EU is going to be the AI continent. This new report- What? Can I interrupt a clip completely? I know you hate this idea, but I want to interrupt that clip with an AI clip. Okay. You go right back to the clip, it'll be fine. Sure. Because you didn't really get that clip going. No, because you kept jumping in front of it. Yes, you can. Of course you can. This is Linda McMahon. Oh, she's the secretary of the now defunct education. Yes, education. This is unbelievable.

She's talking about AI in schools, but she doesn't really, well, maybe she's talking about, I don't know, what is she doing? Letter or report that I heard this morning. I wish I could remember the source, but that there's a school system that's going to start making sure that first graders or even pre-Ks have A1 teaching every year, starting that far down in the grades. And that's just a wonderful thing. Kids are sponges. They just absorb everything.

And so it wasn't all that long ago that it's, we're going to have internet in our schools. Whoop. Now, okay, let's see A1 and how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful in one-on -one instruction? How can it be helpful? Wait a minute. Is she talking about AI? She's saying A1, is that what I'm hearing? Yep. A1 steak sauce in schools? They just absorb everything. And so it wasn't all that long ago that it's, we're going to have internet in our schools.

Whoop. Now, okay, let's see A1 and how can that be helpful? How can it be helpful in one-on -one instruction? How can it be helpful in absorbing more information for those fast learners? It can be more one-on-one directed. And those are the kinds of things and innovations that I want to see continue to develop. All right. All right. You deserve this one. ♪ Clip of the day ♪ Thank you very much. A1 in school. So she's reading off a piece of paper. She has apparently never listened to anything in

the media. At all. At all, ever. This is the series of tubes clip of our day. Remember the internet? It's a series of tubes. Yeah, the tubes. Oh man, do we still have, who was that guy? Oh, it was the senator that got killed up in Alaska. Wasn't it? Because of the series of tubes? No, because he was in a plane wreck. I think they tried to kill him for some reason. He's the one who built the bridge to nowhere. Ted Stevens, you're right. Ted Stevens. Yes, Ted Stevens. Yeah, can you believe that?

A1, that's what we're calling it from now on. Hold on, let's listen to it. Is allowing all of these entities that support this to provide streaming stuff going on the internet. Now the internet, you know, let's go back. Internet started with a concept of local to local connections across the country. And you could go for Air Alaska, but you only had to go through local connections to get there. Industry wisely provided for a streaming for, in effect, a new kind of long distance.

And that's what we've got. We've got a service that's immune to distance. And it's there for the consumer. But when we take and- Where is it? Sign up and you've got a movie delivered to your house, or muscle, you change your order. It's delivered to you, and this delivery charge is free, right? Why? Because it got tangled up with all of these things that are going on the internet commercially.

And here we have this one situation where enormous entities want to use the internet for their purpose, to save money for doing what they're doing now. They use FedEx, they use the deliveries. The internet is not something that you just dump something on. It's not a big truck. It's a series of tubes. And if you don't understand, those tubes can be filled. They're filled. When you put your message in, it gets in line. It's gonna be delayed by anyone that puts it in that tube.

Enormous amounts of material. Wow. He was not wrong though. He was talking about streaming TV and, but it was the series of tubes that we all focus on. Not a truck. No, it's a series of tubes. Yes, from now on, AI is A1. And new people to the show will think we are crazy. What are these guys? These guys don't know what they're talking about. They think AI is A1. Well, okay, so before I get to my Ursula AI clip, A1 clip, I have to

play this. This is the latest TikTok craze. Yes, I'm not playing a TikTok clip. I'm playing- No, no, I noticed you're stealing my material. No, no, this is a clip about TikTok and what kids, those crazy wacky kids are doing in school. This TikTok shows a new and concerning trend among students. It's more than just a trend. It causes a lot of disruption. Last Thursday, a student at Newington High School did just that.

It became clear that the damage was done intentionally, that it wasn't a malfunctioning Chromebook, but rather a student had intentionally done things to it that caused it to smoke and eventually melt. The school was evacuated as smoke filled the classroom. The batteries that are essentially catching on fire, once they burn, they're producing this toxic smoke. And the same thing happened in both Derby and Cromwell High Schools on Monday. The hallway's filling with smoke.

We went in and ended up finding a laptop in a classroom that was pretty much out but on fire at one point. The back cover where the battery cover was melted away and the battery was smoking. Investigations are underway across the districts. And while no one was injured, firefighters say these incidents could have been much worse. The small ones like cell phones and laptops, they can cause an explosion. They could have potentially burned somebody.

A shrapnel could have hit other people if it exploded. Newington Superintendent Dr. Maureen Brummett says she plans to hold those responsible accountable. So the kids now on TikTok, they're learning how to jam some metal into the charging USB port of their school-issued Chromebooks. And of course, they start to smoke, burn, and often can come- They short them out. Yes. This is the new TikTok trend. It's part of the raw-dogging trend. It's got to do with raw-dogging.

But you got to get rid of your technology, babe. I'm going to blow it up. This is a Luddite thing. I'm digging it. The new Luddites. I'm digging it. I'm digging it. Neo-Luddites. Yes, I'm digging it. Well, none of this will happen in the European Union because Queen Ursula is all in on A1. It's a real pleasure to speak to you

today. It's a pleasure! And to welcome this vital report on artificial intelligence. The UNDP helps millions of people every year, but a lot has changed in the 60 years since the UNDP was created. The world is facing many new challenges and artificial intelligence is one of the biggest. As this new report says, the world is pulsing with a powerful new technology. Pulsing with a powerful new technology. AI has moved from fantasy to fact. From fantasy to fact. She likes the alliteration.

Two thirds of people around the world expect to use AI within a year. Areas like health, education and work are being transformed. And the revolution has only just begun. So how should we deal with this crucial issue? How can we make sure that countries and people benefit from the AI revolution? Oh, I think it's going to cost the taxpayers money. Now let's look at what Europe is doing at home and in partnerships around the world.

Here in Europe, we want to be leading as an AI continent to improve lives, promote our values and help humanity. We're investing. We're building 13 AI factories and five giga factories. Whoa, five giga AI factories. I don't know exactly what they're going to do, but it's not just a factory. It's a giga factory. To unlock 200 billion euros in overall investment. 200 billion euros of your tax money, Europeans. But with artificial intelligence, there are risks as well as rewards.

So we have brought in a new set of rules for a European approach to safeguard our citizens and maximize benefits. Because AI needs to be safe to have the confidence of Europeans. We will control your AI and we are going to deploy it everywhere and it's going to be good for you. Just listen. But our focus must also be broader than Europe because there is a danger that AI will grow the digital divide. Oh, they care so much about the poor countries. Between wealthy nations and the global South.

And that's why Europe is also working with partners so that everyone can take part in this AI revolution. Yeah, slaves and data centers. Let me give you five examples. Firstly, our global gateway strategy is investing in infrastructure and capacity in partner countries. For example, a satellite AI factory in Morocco. What is an AI factory? I have to ask you, do you have any, an inkling of idea what an AI factory is?

I think it would be a server farm is what I think it is, but her concept is so 18th century that she thinks everything's a factory. Get to work, you poor slave. It's a hamburger factory. A satellite AI factory in Morocco that is thus helping tech startups across Africa. Second. So wait a minute, my money's going to go to Africa? Okay. To support these efforts, the European Union is joining the executive steering board of the AI Hub for Sustainable Development.

The AI Hub for Sustainable Development. Wow. This is a vital initiative led by Italy, the G7 and the UNDP with a strong focus on Africa. Thirdly, we have formed a powerful digital alliance with Latin America and Caribbean partners. Fourthly, we're working with Asian partners on global cybersecurity. And finally, we're developing super accurate AI weather forecasts to warn about dangerous tropical storms, for example. Wait a minute, super accurate AI weather forecasts. I cannot wait for that.

What a crock. And of course, to help rescue efforts around the world. Yeah, go find that Malaysian Airlines flight. So you see, AI can be a gift to humanity. It's a gift, it's a gift to you. Hey slaves, hey, you in the factory, it's a gift. This important report shows that the future is in our hands. The choices we make now will determine our tomorrow. With the right choices, we can open new pathways, helping everyone to thrive in a world with artificial intelligence. Boondoggle, boondoggle.

Money, there's money in Europe, everybody. There's money if you're a scientist and you want to run away from the evil America. There's money if you want to work in an AI gigafactory. I just shudder to think what that really is. These people are nuts. They're talking. This woman is delusional. She doesn't know what she's talking about and she just rambles. She must really think she's something special. Well, President Trump likes me. He thinks I'm awesome. Yeah, Trump is already on his way.

He's just working her already. She's falling for it. Hey, with that, I want to thank you

for your courage in the morning to you, the man who put the C in your name. In the Chromebooks that explode. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr. John C. DeMora. Yeah, well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. In the morning, it's just the C. Yeah, folks on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hold on, trolls, here, I'm moving.

Morning, John, but I don't care, I don't

care. Two trolls. Everyone's hanging out with mom. 2041 trolls, peak trollage for us today. It's Mother's Day. Wow. Wow, what wow? That's wow low. It's wow, it's wow low, man. It's wow, but people love their moms, but they don't want. Well, the ones that love their moms don't donate to the show. No, there's that, there's that. But they love their mom. We do have a few mom call-outs, call-outs. Oh, luckily, luckily, this is good. All the moms, you are the glue of the family, fact.

So the trolls are in the troll room at trollroom.io, which is our 24-7 live stream and chat room. You can call it a chat room, but I think everyone calls it a troll room because people troll. They're just there to troll all the time. Only 130 real trolls. These are trolls that are listening. We have quite a large listening audience. Not everyone is trolling, but you can hit that trollroom.io or use the Modern Podcast app. I can't say it often enough. One of these days, you're gonna be like,

I'm disappointed in my podcast app. If only I had listened to Adam. What was that thing called again? By the way, it is not podcastapp.com. That'll take you to a piece of junk. It is podcastapps, plural, .com, where you can see all of the Modern Podcast apps. Is it one P or two? It's two Ps. And it says podcastapps. Yes, podcastapps, .com. Yes, or you can go to podcastindex.org and click on the apps tab. It's all the same place.

And so these give you all kinds of benefits besides not spying on you, not giving you ads. I'm sure some apps out there do that or try to give you ads. And you can always upgrade to the concierge package for extra features. They give you chapters with chapter images. They give you alerts when we go live. They have live streams. You can't get that from Spotify or from Apple Podcast apps. So grab one of those. It's compatible with all of your podcasts.

You can even import your current subscriptions. The trolls are there contributing to the show. We have a value for value model. Clearly, we have taken a route that we can never get out of. We're not getting any checks from Big Pharma, not getting any checks from China. We get no checks. We get checks from people who want to support us because they value what we do. And that's- Checks from coffee guys. Yeah, we get checks. Where is my new coffee? I need some new coffee.

We get checks from coffee guys. That's pretty much it. In the mail. Yeah, that's pretty much it. But we appreciate everyone who supports us. Value for value means time, talent, or treasure.

And we do have a plethora of artists and A1 prompt jockeys who like to, I'm going to try to keep it in there. She should be called out for that, by the way. Well, she was with that clip, but she should be called out. Somebody should bring it up at the press conference. Yeah. What do you know, lady? What do you know? Go back to wrestling. One of the ways people contribute is through providing us art. We love to select a piece of art right after the show.

These are people who are listening on the fly, just listening live, and on the fly

are making art. Yes, it's a tool if you use AI, but you still have to have a concept. And it has to be a no agenda concept. It has to have the humor of Gitmo Nation. Otherwise, AI is just not going to take you anywhere. And so we have a combination of traditional

artists using Photoshop and clip art, and yes, some AI stuff. Well, we want to thank the artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1762, titled Stick Fight. By the way, I think there was an errant, or it was a mistake about the stick fight that we discussed. It is in fact not India and Pakistan who fight with sticks at the border. It is India and Chinese, who of course pretty much own that region of Pakistan, if I understand it correctly. Well, I know they fight on the border too.

I don't know if it's to or or. I couldn't find any evidence of Indians. Okay, well maybe it's just the Indians and the Chinese fighting with sticks. But in London, there's a lot of videos in London with Pakistanis and Indians yelling at each other. And they don't really get into fisticuffs, but they just yell at each other. And it's, if you, if you, get out of here, man, you Paki, you Indian. London, they're fighting each other there. The whole thing, it's spreading. It's contagion.

Well, they were invited there to fight, obviously. Why else would they be there? That's right. So we want to thank Sir Shug, aka Foe Diddley, for the artwork for 1762. A nice US born Pope with a foam finger number one. A lot of people like this art. I got good feedback on it. Yeah, nobody sent us any, hey, that's sacrilegious or any complaints from our Catholic listeners. No, I got no, no, the Catholics, they like it. They're all the Catholics I know.

They're like, jury's still out, man, jury's still out. But I think there's also a lot of propaganda against this Pope, just right off the bat. And like, oh, he's LGBT friendly, he's woke, he's this, he's that. And there's a lot of anti-prop, you know, it's propaganda on both sides. We don't know. We don't know what this Pope is going to do. We don't know yet, but we'll see. I hear a lot of, well, he's a registered Republican. It's got to be good. How can he, he's not a, he's living in Chile.

He doesn't even. In the elections that he voted in when he was in the United States, he voted Republican. God, I mean, this is all just, it's out there, you know. I'm just telling you what people are talking about. I question this. As I said, it's propaganda. What I love the most, I heard this one the other day, that a lot of the M5M talked about this particular Pope, Leo XIV, as the dark horse candidate. Did you hear this anywhere?

No. Okay, so he was the dark, well, of course I did, because I'm looking everywhere, like, how did I miss this guy? He was the dark horse candidate. And then of course that picks up as, aha, white horse, President Trump. Red horse, China. Black horse, Pope. We're just waiting for the pale horse. And then, and then the Armageddon kicks off. No, no, this is classic. That has to be a Fredericksburg thing. You got it, baby. Of course it is.

I'm telling you, this is the best move I've ever made in my life. I'm never leaving. I am never leaving Fredericksburg. It's a goldmine of crazy people. The best part is that we talk about this and we laugh about it and we have a good time. And I tell him, I'm gonna talk about it on the show. I'm like, yeah, you should do that. That's good. Like you said, there's gotta get this information out there. Get that information out. Yeah, talk about it. You can ridicule us if you want, we don't care.

As long as it gets out. No, hey, listen, we're good hosts. We have people over, we cook, we have a good time. And they're all our friends, we love them. We love our friends. So looking at the artwork that we had that you saw. You loved your friends in Austin, too, until you rousted a couple of them. But they were really not good, let's be honest. I mean, they got all spun up. They got really spun up, but over the wrong things. You know, like Trump is Hitler. Yeah, we don't have that here.

Biden is Hitler. Obama was the Antichrist, that kind of stuff. Doesn't fit with the show. Anyway, we're looking at the art at noagendaartgenerator .com. Another fine piece of value for value from Sir Paul, who put that together for us. Been up and running for over a decade in multiple versions. Because it was VE Day, we did stay on Darren O'Neill's VE Day piece of art. We discussed it for a while.

We didn't stay on it long, because you nixed it faster than a, no, I don't have a lot. No, you don't have a lot. I said, I like the idea of supporting VE Day, but I didn't think this was a great art. It was an old dude looking up in the clouds. Yeah, I wasn't pushing back too hard. I liked the piece, because it was for the day, but then again, the piece was a little bit funky.

The piece that you said right off the bat was, I love this one, noagenda, please send free stuff, Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. That was the one you liked. I mentioned it was funny. I didn't know who was gonna pick it. We had a couple of, what was that? The one I liked a lot, just for its composition, and I just liked that that

was the prettiest piece was, again, Darren, who gets a hair up his ass every so often and just produces a lot of good stuff. A lot of it, yeah. New and improved noagenda from Alcatraz Prison. I think that piece was gorgeous. That was a very nice piece. Why didn't we choose it? You didn't like it. I think I said- I think the Pope with the foam finger was just too good. It was too good. Oh, no, I know what you said. We're not gonna pick another Darren O'Neill and that's what I said.

Yeah, that's what I said, exactly. Those guys, they gotta stop. This is classic. This is what you do, by the way, when you're judging for the Pulitzer and everything.

No, you can't have another award, no, no. That guy's already got too much. No, we're not gonna do it, exactly. And that's what happens in the back room and it happens constantly. People can't take these awards too seriously. And that goes for the Oscars, too. And that goes for the noagenda art picking process. It's exactly the same. It's just the way, it's human nature. It's just what it is. Thank you, Sir Shug, a.k.a. Pho Diddley. We appreciate it.

We appreciate the work of all the artists who support us with their time and their talent. And we always love the people who support us with treasure.

And we will thank every single person who supports us with $50 or above for every single episode at this moment. We'd like to thank what we credit as our executive and associate executive producers, because we realize just like Hollywood, it's really the people who fund the show who get those titles, those credits. And these are equal to Hollywood credits wherever Hollywood credits are recognized. These work as well, including IMDb.

You can put it in any resume, your LinkedIn profile, and it looks kind of cool and people will question you about it. And if they do, send them to imdb .com. You see that it's for real. And there's over a thousand other executive and associate executive producers. So here's how it works, $200 or above, you get the associate executive producer credit. And we'll read your note, $300 and above, you get an executive producer credit. Who doesn't want that? And we will read your note as well.

And we kick it off with Sir Kevin Dills from Huntersville, North Carolina with 512. And he says, in the morning, this is my annual birthday donation. Yes, after a while, you kind of come to recognize these things. And he will be turning 39 on May 12th. Please add me to the birthday list, of course. No jingles, just karma. Thank you for your courage, says Sir Kevin Dills. He is the Duke of North Carolina and we thank you for your contribution. Duke. You've got karma.

We have, what is that, Dixian? Dixian Craig is what I have, yeah, Dixian. Dixian. Craig, he's in Alberta, Canada. He sent a check in for the Gray, 500 bucks, but we don't have a note or anything from him. And I don't know what this is. Oh, this is, by the way, this is 500 Canadian. So it's, well, it's 500 Canadian. Hey, we still honor the Canadian dollary dues. And so he gets his executive producer, but he didn't say anything about it. And so we're going to give him a double up of karma.

We roll it up for all. You've got, karma. Moving on to Victoria Protovsky in Newark, New Jersey. Actually, she says from West Orange. Hello, West Orange. I used to live near West Orange, Montclair. 333.33, one of our favorite numbers. ITM Adam and John says, Victoria, this is Victory Day donation, May 9th. God bless you both. And for more years, please call out my husband, James, as a douchebag. Douchebag. I hit him in the mouth on our second date. And a few episodes later, he scolded me.

Scolded me for skipping donation segments. I knew he was a keeper right then and there. Baby-making karma, please. And I love my truck. You go first. You've got, karma. And remember, with every baby-making karma, if you're successful, and you will be, you have to name the kid after us. Austin Bradshaw's up. He's in Centennial, Colorado, 333.33. And he says, thanks, John and Anna for all you do. Happy Mother's Day, Jess, my smoking hot wife.

Trans Resister Radio. Okay, that's the James Evan Palato is on that media monarchy thing. Ah, okay. Got it, got it. John, you're a lovable curmudgeon. Might be lovable, but I don't like being a curmudgeon. Love and kisses. Douglas Schneider, Austin, Texas. Hello, Austin.

Row of ducks, 222.22. This donation represents the third Mother's Day installment towards my mother's daming. Only one more to go. And she's sitting at the round table. Well, that'll be a celebration. Mom, you've always been there for me through life's up and downs. You truly are the best mother in the universe. Happy Mother's Day from your devoted son, Doug. Two times karma, please. It's a lot to ask. You've got karma. You've got karma. Baron Sir Casey, nine, YJM.

Nah, I think it's Elgin. But who knows? What are we gonna do? Who do we know? We're podcasters. Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. You've got karma. And we have a switcheroo coming in from

Daniel Lipinski, Cold Spring, Minnesota, 210.60. He says, Mother's Day switcheroo for my smoking hot wife, Amy Lynn. She's not a stripper. Happy Mother's Day.

Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order. Order. Okay. I don't want to get Lauren Wood off. No, I have a couple of clips from more complaining from NPR.

Oh, you really you're really on the NPR tip today Oh, yeah, today's NPR NPR is NPR day.

This is them. Did I guess AmeriCorps? They're gonna cut the funds for AmeriCorps. What is AmeriCorps? Well, I didn't even think about AmeriCorps, you know, they still have the Peace Corps I guess like the AmeriCorps, but it's kind of like the Peace Corps, but it's not There's a lot of money and you know, I've you know, I've concluded that some time back

that I Don't know how this is gonna turn out for Trump But all these programs all these things except for the USA ID and the stuff that's going overseas But most of the stuff that's not going overseas. In fact, a lot of it that's going overseas is not going overseas either It's just jobs programs.

Yeah, we may have been in a depression since 1970 and Everybody's working on the dole in some way shape or form and people who actually do something that pay taxes They're picking they're picking up the slack for everybody else. I'm not sure but it's AmeriCorps, I'm looking at it right now They focus on six key areas disaster services economic opportunity education environmental stewardship Healthy futures and veteran and military families.

Yeah, if this doesn't sound like a crock of crap Just from what you read nothing does China. Yeah. Yeah crock of crap Okay Well, let's go with clip one and it's pushed to shrink government.

The Trump administration has gutted AmeriCorps That is the federal agency created three decades ago as a way for young Americans and seniors to serve their country Now most of the agency staff has been fired and more than 30 ,000 people Have been ordered to stop their service work immediately Wow Are they where are they are they overseas? 30,000 people and by the way three decades ago.

That means this was founded this thing began in 1995 within recent memory of most of our listeners Wow, it's not like something that's been around forever.

It's just bullcrap and 30,000 people that's a lot 30,000 But again, I'm thinking this is job a jobs program for them is not to benefit anybody else Onward and here's Jennifer Ludden reports until last month 25 year old CEO Foshay was an AmeriCorps team leader He and ten others got a small stipend for building affordable homes in Virginia Removing hurricane debris in Florida and repairing National Park trails in West, Virginia That's where they were when Foshay got shocking news pull your team

off the work site Pack up your camp hit the road tonight if possible.

The Trump administration had ended nearly 400 million dollars in grants yanking funding from more than a thousand organizations Saying it no longer fits the agency's priorities People were upset Foshay says he calls AmeriCorps a patriotic program That's good for the country and good for the young adults 18 19 year olds would never left home who weren't really sure what they wanted to do with their lives Or what was the right call for them? Just travel the country with people.

They never met before It's a personal growth and agency and confidence.

I saw on these members was massive all of a sudden to have that opportunity ripped away from them It's just unconscionable really Kyra eskate heads America's service commissions a nonprofit that supports National Service programming She admits there have been issues AmeriCorps failed eight consecutive audits a White House spokeswoman cited the same thing and pointed to 45 million dollars in improper payments last year Eskate says the agency found that

in its own review and AmeriCorps is upgrading a clunky IT system to better track money Yeah, okay, so they can't be the eight failed audits for an agency give me a break we can't take the money And then they all we go computers don't work. You know if you put if the computers are 1995 which is when this thing began Would work to do tracking the money. I mean, it's not like We had Excel back then we had Lotus one two three we had You could do it on an Apple two from the from the late 70s.

I mean I had Apple bullcrap. I had Lotus jazz Do you remember that product yeah, I know Lotus jazz Lotus jazz never really worked Would never oh they had all the software keys and stuff never really worked Lotus jazz yeah, well, that's a scam Let me it's not a scam. It's just something that's grown into a money sink a money hole. It's a jobs program. Yes, you're correct It's a jobs program Yeah, it's just giving money away.

You might as well have like the Works project administration, let's set that back up again, and we knew she's paint murals It would probably be more beneficial to the American prettier I have manga news since we're in the second half here manga manga manga news make

Africa manga manga make Africa news great again. This is interesting because it's white people in manga The first group of white Afrikaans speaking South Africans is reportedly due to arrive in the United States early next week They claim to be persecuted in their home country and have been granted refugee status by President Donald Trump The u.s. Leader in February signed an executive order halting all aid to South Africa accusing the government of doing Terrible things to Afrikaners.

He described them as the victims of unjust racial discrimination Saying the land was being taken away from them Trump's views appear to stem from a recent law that allows land expropriation without compensation in extremely rare cases South African officials say the policy is part of efforts to address land ownership Disparities that are one of the starkest legacies of apartheid and that to date no land has been seized Many prominent Afrikaners and other South Africans have shouted

down Trump statements saying they patently false This will be interesting who shows up and what their story is. There's been so much missing disinformation about this but the Afrikaners What's the misinformation? Well, all were the only news we're getting is it's not true. It's not true. It's not true It's just not and there's no white people being killed here. That's not true And these people they're showing up with signs. They're like, thank you. We love you President Trump.

Thank you for saving us. Yeah Yeah, they're killing white people there. That's what they're doing. Yeah Well, they they there's a lot of people there in South Africa who disagree with that statement Well, they're not white No, oh I'm sorry. I missed these I have a to Pope

Leo the 14th clips. I have one Pope Leo the 14th But why don't you go first with your Pope Leo clip?

Okay, you could see it on there Yes He makes a comment Pope Leo has made an unannounced visit to the Roman Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore Where his predecessor is buried Walking slowly to shouts of long live the Pope Leo laid a white flower on Francis's tomb and knelt in prayer for a few moments Earlier, he confirmed to Cardinals that he chosen his pontifical name in homage to Leo the 13th a 19th century Pope Who defended workers rights during the Industrial Revolution?

He said there was a place for the modern church to meet similar challenges To In our own day the church offers to everyone the treasury of her social teaching in response to another Industrial Revolution And to developments in the field of artificial intelligence that pose new challenges for the defense of human dignity justice and labor Hey, that's the second time I hear a Windows alert sound in one of your clips Mm-hmm. Where's that coming from? I had something running in the background.

I was making a racket Okay Well, I got the the Pope Leo the 14th Chicago Welcome with Leo's ascent to the papacy the city of Chicago is celebrating one of its own Chicago famously a sports crazed town.

So the new Pope is getting a full city treatment online One of the most popular videos circulating is the Pope coming out to the Chicago Bulls entrance music Meantime a host of Chicago themed t-shirts about Pope Leo have flooded Etsy shops in the last 24 hours But about the big question asked by every Chicago native Cubs or white socks the Pope's brother John Prevost to confirm to local media Leo the 14th Cheers for the Southsiders. He is a white Man, there you go.

Oh as long as he's a White Sox fan. Oh, that's good. However Actually, that's not good. No, of course, it's not gonna be a Cubs fan.

Of course is not good But there's more that Pope Leo said Chicago born Cardinal Robert Prevost Saying he chose his papal name in part to honor Pope Leo the 13th a proponent of fighting for social issues and workers rights He also says he plans to follow Pope Francis's lead on his church reforms and commitment to social justice In the meeting Pope Leo asking other senior church leaders to uphold their commitment to the Second Vatican Council responsible for sweeping church reforms in the 1960s he

also identifies artificial intelligence as a top challenge for working people human dignity and justice Sister Natalie Becker a pioneering French nun and the Pope's neighbor reacting Saturday I think you can't just look at him as an American.

It's true He was born in Chicago, and I remember once we talk about Chicago because he studied in the same place I spent one semester despite the Pope's strong ties to Chicago Becker says his rich background makes him a universal Pope He's also making the papacy his own appearing in his first outing since the election traveling to a sanctuary in Rome Significant to his namesake Yes, his roots are from Chicago but then he has been so many time as a missionary in Peru and

he has the Peruvian citizenship and as Superior General 12 years here in Rome a mass will get underway here shortly just about 515 at Holy Name Cathedral now as you all know because of the Pope's strong Chicago ties Upbringing in Dalton, Illinois.

It's caused a lot of excitement for people here in Chicagoland over the last few days Especially Sox fans after they learned from the Pope's brother that he was indeed a Sox fan growing up and has been a lifelong Sox fan Yeah, she can't go she can't go doesn't know what she's talking about. Oh, no. She don't call them the Sox No, they're the White Sox because there's the Red Sox.

You don't say Sox fan, but you say Bo Sox You could say Bo Sox I would make more sense of saying Sox So, I don't know that anybody I lived in Chicago when I was a kid I don't know anybody that would call the White Sox the Sox necessarily especially in a report like this Let me see where she is. I just I think it's just a mistake. I could be wrong Somebody could correct me some Chicago. Well, she's Chicago in this work in there now That was they can send me a note and I'll pay attention to it.

She can go That was a WGN report.

So it was a Chicago local report Huh, yeah, no, I could be wrong. Okay, I probably made another mistake some space junk came down. Oh, yeah The space junk I had a clip from the last show.

Well, I have a clip from this show Hey Soviet era spacecraft has plunged to earth more than half a century after its failed launch to Venus Russia's Space Agency believes the cosmos for eight to lander made an uncontrolled reentry over the Indian Ocean But European and US agencies say they're still unsure of its exact location the shuttle weighing half a ton malfunctioned during its failed launch to Venus in 1972 it never made it out of Earth's orbit instead circling the planet in an irregular

pattern for decades Yeah, I was watching the the live stream and they don't even know where it crashed down It's a piece of junk up there floating around it's got no radio it's got no it's not signaling anything It looks like a big curling thing. Nobody knows what to do with it. It was a lander or something It's just floating around for since 1972 yeah Yeah, we're still just doing that kind of stuff go to the moon again already Put some people down. I'm ready for it.

I'm ready to become a believer I'm ready. Well, I'm ready to play some clips from by the Pakistan India situation Yeah, can I

kick you off with a little overview an overnight overview? It's very short. It'll bring us up to speed Oh, it's actually not that she it's it's not short But it'll bring us up to speed mere hours after a ceasefire was announced between India and Pakistan.

It's fragility was revealed Explosions lit up the sky above Indian administered Kashmir Authorities claimed was a violation by Pakistan of their bilateral agreement The armed forces are giving an adequate and appropriate response to these violations and we take very very serious notice of these violations we call upon Pakistan to take appropriate steps to address these violations and Deal with the situation with seriousness and Responsibility Pakistan said it remained

committed to the truce We have acted as a responsible state for the world and regional peace stability and for the lives of millions of people in the region who gave a positive response to the ceasefire suggestion the Violations tempered the enthusiasm of those on both sides of the border who earlier had taken to the streets to celebrate the news In Mumbai students had even painted artwork of Prime Minister Narendra Modi alongside the US president After Donald

Trump first announced Saturday that a complete and immediate ceasefire would come into effect following a night of US-led negotiations Pakistan's foreign minister had confirmed the deal saying three dozen countries were involved in the mediations including Saudi Arabia and Turkey He celebrated on social media adding that Pakistan has always strived for peace and security in the region without compromising on its sovereignty and Territorial integrity minutes later India confirmed

that both militaries had agreed to hold fighting Bismillah if sustained the ceasefire would bring an end to the biggest military conflict between the two nuclear-armed states in decades There you go, that's the update we have on the overnight seems like things are doing pretty poorly there I Guess what?

Yeah, I got a bunch of clips, but I'm only the only to it work after that or the the India-pakistan bogus ceasefire clip Is where India and Pakistan appeared locked into widening conflict President Trump announced that the two countries had agreed to a ceasefire And with that it appeared that the worst conflict in more than 50 years between these nuclear powers had come to a halt Has it though late Saturday?

Both sides have been accusing each other of violations of the agreement And PR Zia Hadid has been covering this conflict with all of its whiplash she covers South Asia and joins us from Mumbai Hi Scott. So there's a ceasefire for now between Pakistan and India Well just hours after it was announced by President Trump.

It seems a ceasefire is being violated in Kashmir That's the Himalayan territory that's divided between India and Pakistan and claimed by both Residents tell NPR there that they've been hearing the sounds of blasts over two major cities Jammu and Srinagar NPR producer Bilal could chase in Srinagar And he told us at first that people thought these were fireworks to celebrate the ceasefire But pretty quickly people began rushing home to shelter in place He sent us videos

of the city entirely blacked out plumes of smoke was streaming down and people could hear sounds like these And Then the chief minister of Indian helped Kashmir who's in Srinagar posted on X what the hell just happened to the ceasefire well, so nothing's changed and Onward they're gonna have sorry back up and talk about what the American role was in brokering this agreement Yeah for days analysts were saying that the Americans were not being serious Secretary

of State Marco Rubio is just making phone calls He hasn't come but experts tell me as a situation escalated America did intervene directly as well as through Arab allies to convince both parties But again, let's get back to where we started this conversation.

It seems like this ceasefire is looking incredibly rocky right now Yeah, yeah, and it's not clear whether this is a violation or a great unraveling We'll catch us up to speed on how these two countries got to this dangerous moment right now Yeah, these renewed tensions They really fled in late April when gunmen opened fire on tourists and Indian held Kashmir and killed 26 people India said the group that claimed responsibility was a proxy for Pakistan's

army something Pakistan denies overnight Wednesday India began military strikes and the two countries have been exchanging fire every night since on Saturday this morning Some Pakistani airbases including one near the capital Islamabad and that prompted Pakistan to announce an intensified military Operation the fighting was ongoing

until about 3 p.m. India time And then the ceasefire was announced a little bit later And Scott just to give you a sense of this more than 70 people have been killed on both sides. Most of them in Kashmir. I Gotta say once okay twice I get it, but for Windows alerts being eclipses Bit much. Oh, no Yeah, I feel so sorry about it. Well Maybe you should just upgrade to Windows 11 already. It's clearly telling you to do that is Windows 11. That's the problem What is it telling you to do?

What is the problem? There was something disconnecting constantly? Well, just so you know when you're recording clips it picks it up, well, I know I would normally not I would go back and rerecord But generally speaking when I record a long series of clips like a show like a complete NPR show I just set it up. Let it record. I come back later and then do the Listen to the show Otherwise, I'd have to listen to it twice. No, no one deserves that punishment By the

way, have you heard anything about? The president going to Saudi Arabia this week he's going to Saudi Arabia and Qatar and I guess he's kind of given a cold shoulder to Netanyahu. He's done some kind of deal with the Houthis I haven't been able to pick up anything on this I've I've kind of heard the same thing, but I'd without any detail I haven't seen any any real reports just nothing nothing of any substance Expect reporting. Oh, yeah, I guess you're right.

No instead we get riveting news like this

She threatened legal action against Google back in February over its labeling of the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America on Google Maps for US users President Claudia Shane Baum has now announced that Mexico is following through on that warning.

Google is already being sued There has already been a first resolution And it is being awaited Donald Trump's executive order in January to rename the Gulf applies only to the US section of the continental shelf What we are saying is that Google should put the Gulf of America where it is the Gulf of America Which is the part that corresponds to the territory of the United States and then put the Gulf of Mexico to the territorial part?

That corresponds to Mexico and Cuba Google has previously argued that it made the change in line with a practice of following name changes when altered by official government sources Shane Baum's announcement comes after the Republican-led House of Representatives Voted earlier this week to formalize the name change for federal agencies The measure is unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate Trump has contended that his order was justified as the why is that? Why is that?

Why does she say this? Why is it unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate is the Senate against this? They hate America The measure is unlikely to be given the green light by the Senate Trump has contended that his order was justified

as the u.s. Quote do most of the work there and it's ours Argue the move is in line with his expansionist aims which include threatening to seize control of Greenland The water has been referred to as the Gulf of Mexico for more than four centuries and is internationally recognized as such I love that. She's she's so mad at Trump. She's gonna sue Google Gonna sue Google over it. I wonder what I wonder would be that'll be an interesting lawsuit And and what court is that?

Is that the International Criminal Court the International Court of Mapping? Enters a fourth round of nuclear negotiations with

the Trump administration saying it's right to enrich uranium is non-negotiable Oh, it rules out a zero enrichment demand made by some u .s Officials now Steve is putting his talents

to work u.s. President Donald Trump special envoy Steve wick off said just that on Friday Speaking to Breitbart News, he said that an enrichment program can never exist in the state of Iran ever again That's our red line No enrichment the Tehran Times headlines that wick costs comment dims the prospects for a nuclear agreement The article sites are sourcing Iran has been lured in to talk So Washington could subsequently provide a justification for escalating pressure and potential aggression.

This is really crunch time Tell you for a US president withdrew Washington from a 2015 deal between Tehran and world powers its nuclear activity Threaten to bomb Iran if no new deal is reached Iran insists its nuclear ambitions are purely for civilian purposes And we want it to be a great country Cinema and take place ahead of Trump's visit to the region next week APs reporting that his trip to Saudi Arabia raises the prospect of nuclear cooperation with the kingdom That's what I don't

understand. That's the only details I had His trip to Saudi Arabia signals a nuclear What do they call it Nuclear APs reporting that his trip to Saudi Arabia Raises the prospect of nuclear cooperation with the kingdom wait with with Saudi Arabia And nuclear I guess they're gonna give Saudi Arabia's a bomb in case of Ron gets it. Oh not nuclear power, but nuclear nuke Oh, well the president. I don't know.

I mean, I'm just guessing well he did say And I'm sure it wasn't the so -called UK trade deal which as far as I'm concerned this is there even a trade deal Have we seen anything? It's a top secret, but he said I was a big thing coming. This is the biggest news ever This is the biggest it's not the UK thing was the biggest news. I don't think that's what it was was that big news We're all falling over each other.

Oh wow that what a big deal There's got to be something bigger than that I Think there's something big big big. Well, then it would be tomorrow Yes Because it said he was gonna be Friday now the UK deal was on Thursday, but the big deal supposed to be Friday or Monday Okay, and everyone assumed that the big deal was The UK deal on Thursday that he jumped the gun on Friday and Monday because he had other things to do Mmm, I'm skeptical.

That's what I'm just you know, just I'm surmising from the reportage. I'm skeptical Well, we'll have to see Anything else you want to play before we go into the most important part of the show Which is your tip of the day and and other interesting tidbits Well, we got the the Yeah, just play this is get out

of the way the Bangladesh mess Boy, I didn't even follow that the interim Bangladesh has temporarily banned the country's oldest political party the Awami League of the exiled former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina The party is in court over its alleged role in the deaths of almost a thousand people in an anti-government uprising last year Sanjay Dasgupta reports the interim government's advisor on law and justice Asif Nazrul told reporters that all activities of the Awami League

including its online presence were being declared illegal The suspension will hold till its trial is completed The country's oldest political party has been charged over its alleged role in countering mass rallies last year Against its leader and the former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina the nationwide protests led to her ouster But not before a large number of demonstrators were killed in a crackdown She ordered the Awami League has rejected the government's move calling it illegitimate Well, I

That's the thing that I didn't know I'm sure it's dynamite the The Idea that there's anti-racism books. No, they're talking about Critical race theory books, but they have to change that the way they describe it. So they make it sound like ah, he's a racist I'm gonna show my salute by

Yeah Then I have Iso donate, please use the button below now to donate a lot of music Sorry, I got a cough now. So swoon that show made me swoon.

It was so good As no woman talks like that Well, then I can't play the last one which is not safe for work and people are gonna put their kids aside if you want to play because I actually Programmed as I can say, I don't know if it was got sentient, but I had it to design its own The AI design is what was the prompt? What was the prompt you put? I'm not gonna give it away again people give it.

Oh, people might want to do this for themselves at home Yeah, okay So wait, wait, I gave it say I think that I've got it to become self-aware and give us it This is not safe for work, and I'm embarrassed that it even showed up this way But this is the way the clip came out after I cut loose the AI. I really really want to fuck these two guys Horrible yo, yo, yo, that's the show. That's what we're gonna go with man. That is just horrible I can't believe you did that. I can't believe it.

I Can't I didn't that's the point. Oh, yeah I

didn't mean to do that the AI did it for me. Mm-hmm. Yeah likely story. I Know Does not not sound so bogus I know so I had I was gonna do the booth some more boozy stuff But I just I got this note from crystal bogs one of our producers Yes, gave me a tip. That was just like And I looked over the thing. I can't I haven't used the product.

I looked over all the features like down I've got it set up to use it, but it's nothing I would use But I can see it being something that would be very valuable to a lot of people Especially especially after listening to that horrible AI clip that created itself For people that want to keep movies and other productions clean This is a censorship product That I'm gonna read the note from her and this is the gonna be the product the product is vid angel VID Angle.com ITM John and Adam on

the last show you mentioned that some TV shows are absolutely unwatchable now because of the stuff thrown in To them these days. I think we're specifically referring to the Horrible show black whatever it was. It's got the gay sex scene. We've been using the $9.99 per month service vid angel for several years several years and love it It filters out whatever you want.

You can customize show or movie using preset filters You can watch most titles by linking your streaming services We originally got it so our kids could watch shows they otherwise couldn't with us with us But my husband and I have used it just as much for our own shows We don't have to be surprised by anything unsavory like you both experienced and if a kid comes downstairs for water They're not gonna catch a glance of anything. We have to talk about later.

We have to talk about Use it to watch Jack Ryan the agency the diplomat and more I can also enjoy the office with my team with all the hilarious social awkwardness, but none of the adult jokes It's got like 300 filters in it. I don't know how it even works, but that's interesting It's a very interesting product for people out there that really want to use theirs. What's the leery of what's it called again?

Okay, it's under WWWvidangel like video Vidangel.com and I will say this This I have mixed feelings about censorship products like this Although I can see their their I can see their value for sure. That's why I'm recommending it, but I remember one time I was on a flight and And Movies on airplanes are censored back when they started the engines with a shotgun shell This is way after that.

Yeah, okay, so they have the in-flight movie and I got I watched get shorty Which I thought was a Larry's film, but there's some of it just for some reason I was unsatisfied at the end of it because it's I don't know what it was, but it the movie made no sense Huh, but it was funny So then I saw it on TV like years later and in the movie which is a key element within the movie There's an airplane crash And they had they left that in No, they took it out.

They had them airplane movies will never have an airplane crash in the movie It's a policy of all the airlines. I understand that yeah for good reason Yeah, but if you don't know about the airplane crash the movie doesn't make a lot of sense This is the irony of this coming from the guy who just played and not safe for work I so is not lost on me that this is your tip of the day. I Thought it would make up for the clip. Not at all Interesting.
