1765 - "Pro-Mortalist"

Hi, I'm your lackey from Russia.

Adam Curry, John C.

Dvorak.

It's Sunday, May 18th, 2025.

This is your award-winning Give On HB The Assassination episode 1765.

This is no agenda.

Counting 8,647 days since 9-11 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're wondering why anyone would name their kid Keir.

I'm John C.

Dvorak.

It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill in the morning.

Wow.

Nice modulation.

As in Keir Starmer.

That is a good question.

It's not a great question, but it's a good question.

Why would you name your kid Keir?

My kid named Keir.

Well, I looked it up.

Keir means little dark one.

No.

Yeah.

Wow.

Well, you know who would name their kid Kirk.

I think it also means thistle or

brush or something like that.

No, I'm sticking with definition number one because the only person.

That is definition number one.

Little dark one.

The only person.

It's Gaelic, by the way.

The only person who would name their kid here, Little Dark One, would be Satan?

Hello, Dana Carver.

Can't help myself.

Can't help myself.

So I'm looking at the quad box, looking at the quad box.

And I didn't have it.

What?

Well, which brings me to the story I'd like to introduce.

Just the quad box.

But when I, okay, can I talk about what's on the quad box?

Then you can introduce the story of the quad box.

I'm pretty sure I know what's on the quad box, but go ahead.

What's on the quad box?

Well,

the same five stories that's on all the quads.

No, there's only four.

There's not five in the quad.

That would be a quint box.

It's a quad box.

The story is the guy who blew up the fertility clinic in Palm Springs.

By the way, I've not heard from the anonymous gay accountant who I did text this morning because he lives there.

Well, I'm glad you're the story.

Exactly the story I want to talk about because I have some input.

Can I play the presumptive news reports about it first?

Well, wait.

Because you have the latest one.

No, no, no, I don't.

I don't have the latest.

I have yesterday's, but it's okay.

We'll do yours.

Oh, I have yesterday's, too.

You really want to talk about it?

No, you really want to talk.

So please, you do it.

No, I do want to talk.

I want to talk.

You do.

You talk.

Try SoCal IF.

This is the boringest one.

Yours will be better than this.

Maybe.

SoCal IVF bombing.

NPR.

California.

The FBI says an explosion this morning near a reproductive clinic in Palm Springs was deliberate.

This was an intentional act of terrorism.

As our investigation will unfold, we will determine if it's

international terrorism or domestic terrorism.

That's Akhil Davis, the assistant director of the FBI's Los Angeles field office.

He says one person died and they're working to identify them.

Several others were injured.

Davis also says the FBI has a person of interest, but that they aren't actively searching for a suspect.

He says it's one of the largest bombings in Southern California.

The explosion damaged several buildings and left blocks littered with debris.

Palm Springs police chief Andy Mills says they're dealing with a massive crime scene.

A doctor at the clinic, Mahar Abdallah, says the building is damaged, but the IVF lab, eggs, and embryos are okay.

The FBI and ATF are joining local police in investigating this bombing.

There's no word on a motive.

Well, I have the clip with the motive.

I thought you had

the whole beauty of this whole setup that I was doing that you interrupted.

No, that's why I started with the lousy clip.

I said it was not as going to be as good as yours If you hadn't noticed.

No, I noticed your clip was lousy.

Totally.

Okay, can I play mine or do you have something you'd like to introduce?

No, I have my stuff is all to be read.

The unthinkable happened in the desert resort.

No, wait, stop a sec.

No, that was the note.

No, this clip is already a fake clip because nobody had a recording of the bomb.

Totally.

They made a nat pop right up front.

It's awesome.

These people are so bad.

The unthinkable happened in the desert resort known as Palm Springs.

A massive bomb blast set off in or near a car.

It's not really called Palm Springs.

It's just known as.

Known as.

Where did this clip come from?

I think this is.

Sounds like NBC.

Yeah, I think it's local.

Oh, local.

I think it's KTLA, actually.

So it's a Los Angeles clip.

Massive bomb blast set off in or near a car, killed one person and injured several others in what the FBI calls an act of terrorism.

They say the target was a fertility clinic and in vitro fertilization lab, which involves fertilizing eggs with sperm outside the body.

Federal agents are now trying to determine who did this and why.

If you look at terrorist movements, terrorist groups, violent extremist groups in the past, even violent extremist individuals in the past, often they will have a list of targets.

Al Kemper is a retired Marine Corps intelligence officer who has worked with and trained law enforcement personnel in the Palm Springs area.

There's a variety of things that don't necessarily make the news, but there's a variety of threats and other things that they work on out there.

So,

I mean, the no.

They'll be looking at a broad array.

Burning questions.

Was the person killed in the blast also the one who triggered it?

Was this domestic or international terrorism?

Was the perpetrator attempting to record or live stream the carnage?

We know this.

The clinic's mission is to help build families, and those families include members of the LGBTQ community, a group that has historically faced a level of backlash.

There are violent extremists out there who have very strong views about IVF,

which is something that they do at that clinic, and also about surrogacy, which is something they do at that clinic.

And that particular reproductive clinic is in the Palm Springs area.

Palm Springs is kind of known as a center for

LGBTQ residents.

I think a little less than half the population, by some estimates, is LGBTQ.

So, all the news reports: oh, no, this has got to be, you know, it must be a crazy Republican.

It's got to be some nut job terrorist because he hates IVF, Christian nationalist.

Turns out, some 26-year-old soy-looking boy who

says he's anti-life.

He wants less people on the planet.

Sounds like the opposite to me.

So they immediately jump to conclusions on this one.

It's even worse than that if you go to the New York Times.

And some of the other papers that blame the Southern Baptists.

This is great.

I have a Jonathan Carl, ABC.

Let's see what Jonathan Carl says.

We begin with what authorities are calling an intentional act of terrorism.

Terrorism.

ABC's chief.

I just love that they knew that right off the bat.

That was an intentional act of terrorism.

They didn't have anything yet on this person, as far as I know, but they came out right away.

Terrorism.

Investigative correspondent Aaron Katersky has the very latest on an explosion Saturday outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs, California.

Good morning, Aaron.

What do we know?

What do we know?

What are you learning?

John, good morning to you.

This blast was so powerful that at first people in

Palm Springs thought this might have been an earthquake, but then they quickly saw the flames and smoke and damage from what appears to have been a car bomb.

It exploded right outside a fertility clinic, American Reproductive Centers, which said nobody from its staff was hurt, and the eggs, embryos, and other reproductive materials in its lab are secure and undamaged.

One person is dead.

Law enforcement sources told ABC News it's believed to be the suspect.

Investigators were seen searching a location connected to the attack.

IVF has become entangled in the political debate over reproductive rights, and the FBI said the clinic was targeted in an intentional act of terrorism.

Investigators also found John recording equipment, a camera and tripod, suggesting that perhaps the attack was meant to be either recorded or live-streamed to make some kind of a political statement.

And Aaron, what is the Justice Department saying about this?

Yeah, what does Pam say?

We heard from Attorney General Pam Bondi.

She told us in a statement, we are working to learn more, but she said, let me be clear, the Trump administration understands that women and mothers are the heartbeat of America.

Violence against a fertility clinic is unforgivable.

President Trump has pledged to expand access to IVF, but he has faced backlash from some in the Christian conservative movement who are opposed to the loss of embryos during the process.

I'm telling you, up until this morning.

White Christian nationalist extremist terrorists.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's a soy boy who's nuts.

Let me read from the New York Times.

No, let me read from one of our

producers who put together a report.

Oh, excellent.

The suspect behind the bombing in Palm Springs today has been identified as Guy Edward Bart Kus.

Was that mentioned in any of these news reports this year?

No, no, no, this just came out this morning, so I don't think you had.

You got this this morning, right this report this no i got this yesterday really they're only just now reporting it interesting

he's from 29 palms he's a self-described poor pro-mortalist

sorry that's a new term pro-mortalist

who was angry because he felt this by the way is all on instagram of course and it could be inaccurate but at least it's interesting and it gives us some possibilities because there's some interest there's funny stuff in here if you want to call that funny.

Yeah.

He was angry because he didn't give consent to anyone to bring him into the world.

Oh, man.

In a 30-minute audio recording he posted online.

I don't have that.

No.

He made the following statements, quote, I figured I would just make a recording explaining why I've decided to bomb the IVF building or clinic.

He said at the beginning of the recording, quote, basically, it just comes down to I'm angry that I exist.

Wow.

And that, you know, nobody got my consent to bring me here.

Now, by the way, this is, this is

the word's not going to be used, but this is a kind of, you know, we say, oh, this is terrible.

This is nihilism.

I have the guy.

Which was very popular in the

early 1800s.

I have the video whenever you're ready.

I can play a little bit of that, of the guy.

Okay, well, let me just finish.

Sure.

I just finished the recording.

Sure.

One, yeah, that's good.

I'm very much against IVF.

It's extremely wrong.

There are people who are having kids after they've sat there and thought about it.

How much more stupid can it get?

I don't know.

That guy makes no sense.

This is also, and then our

producer, who's all he knows why I'm going to not name him, because then you'll hound him.

He's one of our regulars.

This also came from a local news describing a portion from his FAQ on his website.

In the facts section of his website, he further explains that his best friend Sophie shared similar views and recently died

after convincing her boyfriend to shoot her in the head as she slept.

Wow.

Whoa.

We had agreed that if one of us died, the other would probably soon follow, Bart Kus wrote.

Now, I looked that up.

In fact,

In fact, I'll read this part.

His description seemed to match the death of 27-year-old Sophie Tinney.

I looked her up in Fox Island, Washington on April 22nd.

Police arrested her boyfriend, 29-year-old Lars Eugene Nelson, and believe Tinney convinced or Nielsen, no Nelson, convinced Nelson to shoot her in the head as she slept.

Nelson was charged with second-degree murder.

You can look this case up.

That's exactly what happened.

This dumb shit.

And Lars, by the way, looks like a big, dumb Viking who's like a young guy with a lot of of hair and this doesn't look that bright.

Whose girlfriend obviously said, honey,

can you shoot me in the head while I'm sleeping?

Sounds reasonable.

And he did.

So she's sleeping there, his girlfriend, this is his girlfriend.

And he just pulls the trigger and they believed all these stories.

And I guess somebody knew who this girl was, who was obviously a lunatic.

And so

that takes care of her.

And this guy's going to go to jail.

And then we got this other guy guy who may or may not have blown himself up.

This is ridiculous.

Yeah.

I wonder if any

SSRIs or any kind of antidepressants were involved in this case.

You think?

Yeah.

Now,

they're all X.

I'm sorry, they're all, yeah, they're all Gen X.

She was

28

or 27.

She's 27.

These are all right at the cusp of at the very beginning of,

I'm sorry, Z, Gen Z.

Z.

He ends at 28 or 29 right now.

It's pathetic.

And I think they're all drugged up.

Because this is idiotic.

Actually, I thought I had the video, but it's already no longer available.

We waited 30 seconds and it's gone now.

Well, you're blaming me?

No, no.

I'm blaming the platforms.

Oh, we can't have that out there.

We can't.

I don't know why they don't want to let this information out.

I'm with you.

That makes no sense.

But, but it makes sense if you think it as the following.

You're in the meeting.

You say, look, is this going to encourage more kids to be this way?

Won't we just suppress it and leave it out of the news?

Yeah.

Well, this is

on one hand, of course.

We don't need another nihilist movement by a bunch of stoned, drugged up Gen Z lunatics.

Well, that's exactly the issue.

I mean, okay, so

luckily no one else was hurt,

but it speaks of a much larger problem.

We have a

nihilistic, we have a nihilistic movement.

If people are doing this and they're posting stuff like that, and hey, man, kill me in my sleep,

this is a problem.

You know, even the bombing is one thing, but This girl talking her boyfriend into shooting her in the head while she's

is insane.

Well, it's it, I think it's drug-induced, but then legal, I'm just guessing, legal clinical prescribed drugs.

That I can't think of anything else.

That's what spawns this.

That's the real tragedy here.

It's like, okay, this is what happens.

It's bad.

Luckily, are we done with this topic?

I'm done with it.

Yeah, I'm done with it too.

Although, this won't be the end of it.

Well, actually, it will be the end of it because it wasn't a Christian, a white Christian nationalist nutjob terrorist.

So, oh, well, no.

Yeah, they'd have to do some real creativity here.

It's like, oh, there could be an entire epidemic of nihilistic children who were on SSRIs.

No, that's not worth reporting.

If it wasn't,

Southern Baptist Church.

Is that not worth what?

Let's back up.

The pharma companies own the media.

Oh, you think it's never going to get reported?

Of course not.

Of course not.

It's bad.

You won't hear that anyplace else.

No.

And thank you, Matthew.

Unfortunately, once a year, we have to do it.

There's just no getting around it.

It's a staple of the No Agenda Show.

We don't have to discuss it very much, but we do have a winner of the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest.

I go to

Emotional scenes as Austria's boy was declared the winner of Eurovision 2025.

With his operatic pop song Wasted Love, JJ topped the votes from music experts and viewers from across the continent and beyond.

Speaking after the announcement, the 24-year-old from Vienna said he was still processing the news.

This is absolutely insane.

My dreams came true.

This is out of this world.

So thank you so, so much, guys.

Thank you, guys.

You can tell he's in here.

I'm sorry, I missed who won.

Austria.

Austria.

JJ from Austria.

Thank you.

It marks Austria's third win in the contest

to Conchita's victory in 2014 and Udo Yo

in 1966.

In second place, was Israel's Yuval Rafael

survivor of the October 7th Hamas attacks with her performance of New Day Will Rise.

Pro-Palestinian groups had called for the European Broadcasting Union to bar Israel from the competition over the war in Gaza.

A view view not shared by some Israelis watching the contest.

Two demonstrators tried to get on the stage during Rafael's performance, but were prevented from doing so by security officials.

Third on the leaderboard was Estonia's Tommy Cash, with Sweden and Italy clinching fourth and fifth place, respectively.

So none of the suspected

frontrunners actually made it into the top three.

And I'm not sure what the political angle of Austria is, because it usually is politically motivated.

Is there anything that

could

anything that we can expect from Austria?

It's a mystery.

I've got to find this note one of your compatriots from Holland sent me

complaining about this segment and you in particular.

Okay, do you want me to take a little break while you search for this?

No, I don't want you to take any break.

People are complaining.

I'm hoping to find it, but I've got all these

impediments.

Don't make me play the hook of the song.

Oh, oh, too late.

It's terrible.

Yes.

Wait,

this is why he won.

That's it.

Oh, because he can sing in falsetto.

Yes, this is exactly right.

People are so used to trash muck

AI and or

what is it, auto-tune, that when they hear someone who can actually sing,

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, the guy's gonna win, he can actually sing, he's got a falsetto, whoa, that's that's that's what's happening.

Here's the note.

Oh, here we go.

From Lowe's.

Adam claimed,

Adam

claimed without without evidence.

This is a nasty note, but I think it was.

And can I ask you, did you reply to this person and say, why don't you email Adam?

I always do that.

Yeah, well, okay.

The person did not email me.

Adam Cuckoo, they don't want to email you because you're going to get mad.

My reputation precedes me, I see.

Yes, it does.

Adam claimed, by the way,

you know what I think of that word.

Yeah.

All streets will be empty on the evening of the Eurovision Song Festival because everybody will be watching.

Obviously, he moved out of the country decades ago.

From all the people I know, only my 17, 72-year-old mother watches that lame show.

It's only watched by a bunch of women of a certain age, some gays and Adam.

Some gays and Adam.

There's a show title.

Some Gays and Adam.

Yes, okay.

It's not only unwatchable, the music makes your eardrums shrivel up.

And if that isn't enough, the satanic symbols

are being noticed by more people every year.

Yeah.

Well, this past.

I will give you credit for that.

You have been noticing the satanic symbols for at least over a decade.

That's why I watch.

Although I couldn't watch yesterday.

I recorded it.

By the way, this year should be the final nail on the coffin because they're sending a Congolese refugee with a French song.

There is nothing left of what was once the intention of the festival.

Even my mom complains about it.

Everybody who I know who watch, which is pretty much everybody, and I know this because, you know, the Europeans use WhatsApp.

You're not supposed to say WhatsApp.

You say WhatsApp.

And, you know, so I'm in WhatsApp text groups.

And they're giving me blow by blow, like, oh, this sucks.

This is horrible.

And they really dislike this year's show, but they watched, and these are not 70-year-old ladies,

but I think they're gay.

That's right, my gay WhatsApp groups.

That's exactly it.

You're gay.

We always suspected you had a gay WhatsApp group to get some information.

One, just one.

Hey, the thing I'm worried about is the anonymous gay accountant.

He didn't text me back.

I'm worried that, you know, he's probably doing taxes.

It's still part part of the season.

Well,

maybe, you know, maybe he's going to get

like Sur Anonymous from Doc.

Over time, we alienate everybody.

We try.

We try.

We try.

We try.

So now we're anti-Muslim, you know,

that's, that's so unfair.

I thought so.

Yeah, I don't think he meant us, by the way.

I think he just meant the trolls.

The trolls hate the Jews.

The trolls hate everybody.

That's kind of the beauty of the trolls.

They hate everybody.

It's not a big deal.

That's true.

I agree.

Yeah.

Okay.

Do you want to go into something rather interesting?

I don't know.

I thought the

pro-mortalist or whatever the hell he was

pretty interesting.

Yeah.

Pro-mortalist.

It's not interesting.

It's sad.

I'm really sad.

Yeah, there you go again.

This is, I got another note about you being this way.

Well, no.

And I had to def I defended you because

one of our another producers, producers are complaining a lot recently.

Have you noticed this?

Yes, I have.

We're doing it wrong.

This is the main thing I'm learning.

Whatever we're doing, it's wrong.

I always like to look them up on the database.

We have a database.

Yes.

And did the toxic empathy guy donate?

No.

No, of course not.

Of course not.

That's okay.

Contributing to the show with complaints is a kind of value.

It's an odd form of value, but it's value.

It's valuable in some way.

No, actually,

I have

a small series of clips by Andrew Rasoulis about the Istanbul non-meeting.

And

you like Rasoulis.

Do I?

Yeah, that's the former Canadian defense guy.

You said he had a good idea.

Oh, that guy.

Yeah, he is good.

He's a good analyst.

This reminds me.

I have some analyst clips, too.

Okay.

Mine are lousy, though.

Yeah, well,

let's do mine since yours are lousy.

So what happened is nothing happened.

Putin didn't go, which of course meant Zelensky didn't go.

Putin did send some lackey to Istanbul.

They were supposed to have a face-to-face.

I'm your lackey from Russia.

I do want to ask you about what constitutes a good deal for Russians and for Ukrainians.

But first, I want to talk to you about what happened, what transpired this past week, which was the meeting in Istanbul that just didn't happen when it came to both major leaders.

Putin, who first proposed the talks, did not attend them, and neither did Zelensky.

What does it signal when even the leaders at the center of the conflict refused to meet?

I mean, Putin's emissary that he sent in his stead was a minister of culture and heritage, not typically a high-ranking official that you would send to such a meeting.

What does this tell us?

It means the Russians are negotiating from a position of strength.

That

they're showing strength by actually playing around with who they send, lowering expectations, raising, lowering.

That's playing your opponent, and that's what they're doing.

They played Zelensky in a way.

Zelensky came to came to Istanbul.

Putin didn't.

He sent

an ex-minister of culture there, who actually haranged the Ukrainians and saying, well, we fought the Swedes for 21 years.

Well, how would you like that?

So, yeah, I mean, that's what the Russians are doing.

They're putting a hardball, as they always do in negotiations, and we're going, and we're going to see where this goes.

But the Russians are not desperate for a peace, they will agree to a peace.

Again, I repeat, as long as they get most of what they want, if not absolutely everything.

And that, of course, means that for sort of a neutral type Ukraine, they're going to keep the 20% of the territory of East Ukraine.

That's pretty much a given.

Everybody understands that.

The delicate balance is what happens to that 80%.

And therein lies the puzzle that's being hammered out probably tomorrow.

Yes, tomorrow is the big phone call.

But let's move to the new news, which is

coming up.

He said that he will talk to Vladimir Putin at 10 a.m.

on Monday, followed by a conversation with Vladimir Zelensky.

Has anyone been successful in talking Vladimir Putin specifically into anything?

I mean, what do you make of that, of this proposal?

Well, I think, first of all, I think it's really good news.

Two, I think Trump understands how to deal with Putin in the sense that he understands that Putin, you just can't put pressure on him, you can't put him in a corner.

It's well known that Putin does not react well when he's cornered.

However, Putin does understand pressure and incentive.

So the art of real negotiations, which Trump also understands.

And so I think we've come to the point now in the negotiations that basically

Putin is looking for the deal now.

He's prepared to make a deal.

He just wants a good deal.

And basically, it's not what the Ukrainians want.

So Trump is trying to figure where that line is.

And those conversations tomorrow, back to back.

So Putin at 10, Zelensky after that, other NATO people after that.

So he's going to try and work something out of that.

Putin at 10.

Zelensky at 11, Mark Rutte at noon.

This is going to be a series of calls.

So, by the way, I had just a tease.

This is just the opposite of the analysis clips I have from NPR where they black.

Yes, of course.

That's why this guy, this Canadian guy, is good.

He's pretty accurate.

Yes, and so when the question comes up, what does Russia actually want?

He has answers.

So let's talk a little bit about the specifics here.

I mean, we are talking about, we know that a long-time stipulation for Vladimir Putin was that Ukraine not be allowed to join NATOs because he will feel like he's surrounded by enemies.

He will be.

Secondly, he will be.

Are we talking about

disputed territories?

We're talking about when it comes to the most recent conflict, Donbass, Donetsk.

But are we talking about Crimea as well?

Well, Crimea is a given.

I mean, from a Russian side, they're not even talking about that one.

I mean, they incorporated that in 2014-15.

And that, from a historical point of view, the Russians firmly regard that as being Russia.

So the Ukrainians, of course, will not recognize that.

And there'll be a saw-off on that.

You're a de facto.

But the more delicate one is on the four other oblasts, and the Russians don't control all of them.

They control bits and pieces, well, substantial parts, but not all.

And the Russians want all of them.

They want it right up to the administrative line, which means Ukrainians are going to have to pull back.

And that's what the Russians told the Ukrainians in Istanbul on Friday.

They want them to pull back right to the administrative lines, giving up some cities along the way.

That, of course, Ukrainians said is a non-starter.

And that's where we are.

It's so interesting to watch the trolls, the notorious anti-Israel Jew haters.

That's just what I call them.

They may not hate Jews, but they're anti-Zionists.

Well, because you know, there's a genocide in Gaza

when it comes to this, like, ah, just let Putin roll over and wipe out all of Ukraine in six months, it'll be over.

Who cares?

So, they're pro-Russian, the troll people.

I don't know.

I think they're anti- I think they're nihilists, is what I think.

I think they're

nihilists.

What was the term?

Anti-pro-mortalists.

Pro-mortalists, yes.

Trump has said, by the way, nothing's going to happen on the talks until Putin and I get together, which seems to imply an actual meeting, face-to-face meeting, rather than a phone chat that's going to happen on Monday.

So, what's that?

What do you think is the likelihood of that meeting happening anytime soon?

That'll depend on Monday.

I mean, in Istanbul, the Ukrainians asked the Russians,

they want Zelensky to meet Putin, but also in the background is that Trump would meet with Putin as,

yeah, Trump would meet with Putin as well.

So that's all very much part of an endgame scenario.

It's very realistic.

If this war comes to an end, that's what will have to happen.

So now we'll have to see the phone calls on Monday are kind of a prep to see, is there room to maneuver here?

This is the big boys now talking.

Big boys.

So they're going to see, is there room to maneuver?

Do they have a deal?

And if not, then I'm afraid we're in for a long war.

But we're not there yet, necessarily.

There's still hope here.

I love this guy's take.

I mean, he's he's he, I think he's so right on with this.

This is the big boys: Trump and Putin, they're going to talk it out.

And of course, President Trump has some carrots and he has some sticks.

You mentioned earlier that you suspect Trump will use it.

Where did you get this clip?

CBC.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

You mentioned earlier that you suspect Trump will use pressure and believe me, American news media does not call Andrew Assoulos for any analysis of the situation.

No suspicion.

No, I can prove that in the next

presented, which I think is like carrot and a stick in a more regular person's vernacular.

Where are you laughing, girl?

What are we talking about?

I mean, certainly sanctions, presumably, economic pressures, anything else?

Yes.

So what I think it's already been stated that the conversation tomorrow, Monday,

between Trump and Putin will involve not just the Ukraine issues, but issues of trade.

And issues of trade implies sanctions relief of some sort.

So that's the way it's been defined.

So the Russians are certainly looking for sanctions relief and increasing some kind of bilateral trade with the United States.

Ever since the Americans started to talk to the Russians under Trump, underlying all these discussions has been the issue of economic trade between the United States and Russia, which implies sanctions relief, which, from a Russian point of view, would be a big incentive.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I

like this guy.

He's.

I like the idea of trading with Russia.

They've got different kinds of products.

Minerals.

Damn.

They got some minerals.

What other products will be fun to have?

Babushkas?

Nesting dolls.

Nesting dolls.

Yes.

Yeah.

That'd be cool.

They gave a lot of

agricultural products.

They have butters and things that are

unique.

They got butters.

Butters.

They have

crazy drinks.

They have crazy drinks.

Like, what do you mean?

Oh, well, they have Kvass, which is my favorite.

Kvass.

Well, there's a bunch of them.

I mean, there's a Russian store in the city, and I go there every so often.

Have you ever had Kvass?

Yeah, I have.

It's like a malt product.

Yeah, it's a malt product.

It's undrinkable, to be honest.

No, I really like it.

Iceland has a similar product, which is yuck.

Yeah, no, I like the colour.

Yeah, if you can lie, I can see how you can like it.

It's somewhat semi-refreshing.

Yes.

Like Russia itself, semi-refreshing.

Yeah, semi-refreshing.

Yeah, Russia.

I went to Moscow, semi-refreshing.

It was all right.

So you don't have NPR, you have PBS clips on Ukraine, not NPR.

I'm sorry, these are PBS, yeah.

Okay.

But what, wait, what difference does it make?

Well, as we all know,

oops, that's not it.

Where'd it go?

Where's my elitist voices?

There we go.

Elitest voices of America.

This is NPR,

or PBS.

For a perspective on the state of play of the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, we turn now to Andrew Weiss, former State Department official who served in the George H.W.

Bush and Clinton administrations.

He's now the Vice President for Studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Andrew, always great to see you.

Great to see you.

So this peace talks today wrapping just shy of two hours.

A historic prisoner swap, but no ceasefire, no major breakthroughs.

What do you see here?

Is this progress?

This process is about an audience of one.

Both sides are trying to appeal to President Trump and avoid being blamed for the process not going anywhere.

So the Ukrainians have gone great far, taken a lot of steps to agree to an unconditional 30-day ceasefire, to agree to meet with the Russians, and to sort of, you know, play nicely with this administration.

The Russians, who have given no ground and in fact, as you heard from Nick Schiffer just a moment ago, are actually expanding their demands, also want to look like they're nice people and that they're serious about peace.

They're not.

And as we heard just a moment ago, they think time's on their side.

Yeah, you're right.

It's worthless.

An audience of one.

Another audience of one.

This guy, Andrew Weiss, try finding anything about him.

He worked for both Bush and Clinton.

That tells you something right there.

Works for a Republican and Democrat.

He has no profile.

He's

done a lot of heavy-hitting stuff.

He's got no profile at all on Wikipedia.

Is it Weiss or Weissman?

Weiss.

Weiss.

Andrew S.

Weiss.

You can look him up.

Oh, yes, I see him here.

And then you can try to find, he does have a profile on LinkedIn, which tells you nothing yeah

and so this guy's a spook of some sort vice

here vice president for studies and james family chair of the carnegie endowment

graphic novel out now accidental czar the life and lies of vladimir putin

yeah so he does not obviously why would you put him on he's obviously not a putin fan when he wrote the life and lies of vladimir putin as his book yeah it doesn't sound like let's put him on because he's going to give us some objective reality.

Yeah, that's the guy.

So he does just what, but that's what PBS wants.

PBS has turned into a huge anti-Trump operation.

This is new?

It's worse.

Well, ever since Gwen Eiffel passed away.

Well, no, but even more recently, ever since they started pulling funding, they've just turned.

I mean, they say, well, screw this guy.

They're taking our 1%

funding away.

It may turn turn out somehow that that was a lot more than 1%.

It seems to be.

It seems to be whining a lot.

Maybe USAID or something.

You don't whine this much about 1%.

Now, no agenda show where only 1% donates.

You know,

we whine away.

We whine.

We whine.9, yeah.

We whine.

We do.

We whine a lot.

People at the meetup yesterday are like, you're really scaring me.

You're really scaring me.

Yeah.

Yeah.

People are like, you really scaring me.

Yeah,

is, I know the reaction.

Yeah, you're really scaring me.

Why?

Let's go.

Well, we'll talk about it.

We'll talk about it later.

Talk about it later.

Let's go to clip two, where he just, by the way, just gets worse.

In another post, President Trump said he hopes a ceasefire in Ukraine will be the result on Monday when he has separate phone calls.

Is this part two of the series of anals?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You, well,

okay, it was a little mislabeled.

So the first one was

Ukraine anal PBS.

Then there's Ukraine anal 2A.

But what is Ukraine Russia calls Trump PBS?

I'm a little bit more.

I'm sorry.

I guess I should call it.

Ukraine anal Russia bad.

Oh, of course, I could have known.

So we know Vladimir Putin.

So we know Vladimir Putin was not at these meetings, and you heard President Zelensky say that that is is a sign that Putin is not serious about wanting a ceasefire.

You agree with that assessment?

Yes.

Exactly the opposite of Rasulus.

He's like, no, that's how big boys play.

Yeah, send a little dude in the background.

I'm doing some negotiation.

Art of the deal, baby.

Artsky of the deal, Donald.

Just yes.

Yes.

Putin bad.

Putin bad.

Lies of Putin.

I wrote a book about it.

And by the way, this guy's degree from Colombia.

He's just in Russia studies.

He went to Russia.

One of his jobs was to interview and do a dossier, I guess, on every single Russian oligarch.

Very strange character.

But he's just obviously a stooge.

And why does PBS have him on?

So let's go with 2A.

No, the Russians at this point have very maximalist goals.

Those goals amount essentially to the wiping Ukraine off the map.

That's what they want.

They want Ukraine to disappear and to become forcibly reintegrated into Russia's warbed.

At any point, does he say full-scale invasion and Kyiv a number of times?

Would that be in this?

I don't know if he does or not, but this is bull crap.

The Ukrainians are not in any position where they're desperate for a deal.

And I think this White House, in part, is hampered in its peacemaking efforts because they have a misunderstanding of where things are on the ground.

They believe Ukraine's in a dire situation, desperate for a deal.

And they think that the Russians, if the United States were to cut off military assistance again to Ukraine, could roll over Ukraine in short order.

Both of those, unfortunately, are not the case.

Ukraine is in a bad situation, but the defense is inherently favored in this war.

They've been able to expand their own defense production capability, so a lot of what they need-drones, artillery, things like that, they can now produce at home.

They're seriously in need of continued U.S.

military and intelligence support.

They also have some niche, important requirements, including for air defense, that they can't replace on their own.

You heard this audience of one, as you referred to him, President Trump, yesterday, as he's traveling in the Middle East, say that nothing is going to happen until he and Putin speak directly.

Do you agree with that, and what do you think would come of that kind of meeting?

The Ukrainians and the Europeans are really worried that any bilateral agreement between the United States and Russia could be rammed down Ukraine's throat and rammed down Europe's throat.

So there's a desire to make sure that the United States President doesn't set off in a spontaneous way, as we've seen him do on other foreign policy matters where he sort of runs around, makes spontaneous decisions, does things on the fly.

This is a very dangerous, delicate moment for the Ukrainians.

They don't want to see a peace deal that's agreed behind their backs.

At the same time, Donald Trump, I think, has been bending over backwards to avoid putting blame on Vladimir Putin.

So asking for a meeting is now just the next sort of way of kicking the can and avoiding the moment of decision that

Trump had promised us, where he said, if I can't get this settled within my first 100 days, I'm going to walk away.

That's the moment we're waiting for Trump to reveal what walking away means.

Season of reveal.

Only because I'm new to this

that I bring it up, but

the audience of one, I don't know if there's a subtle subtext to this, but in the white Christian nationalist extremist terrorist world, the audience of one is used frequently, and it doesn't mean Donald Trump.

Just

something of note for me.

I don't know if they're using that as subtext.

I don't know what the subtext of any of this guy is.

Well, she says it too.

She said, Audience of one.

I did reiterate.

Yeah.

This guy's a bad guy.

Yeah, yeah.

But he got a lot of airtime.

Bridget Brink published.

Well, yeah, he got a lot of airtime on PBS, which is a bad operation.

It's worse than ever.

Yes.

Bridget Brink published just today in this op-ed in the Detroit Free Press.

She basically said she resigned last month because of Trump's foreign policy after serving three years in Ukraine.

She wrote this: I cannot stand by while a country is invaded, a democracy bombarded, and children killed with impunity.

I believe the only way to secure U.S.

interests is to stand up for democracies and to stand against autocrats.

Peace at any price is not peace at all.

It is appeasement.

Is President Trump here pursuing a policy of appeasement?

I think he is, and I think the risk is that the policy that we had in place when Donald Trump became president

focused on unity with the Europeans, common cause with the Ukrainians, and showing the Russians that they can't get what they want and that we would build leverage over time to get them to see that this was a hopeless goal, that they were never going to get Ukraine back.

Well, that's exactly the old globalist thinking.

That's exactly what's been going on and has not been working for decades.

Show the Russians they can't get what they want

instead of, well, why don't we figure out a way to live together?

Which I'm all for.

But everybody actually is.

There's a lot of except for these guys, these stooges.

Now,

which reminds you, is that the end of the clip?

I think so.

That was the end, yes.

So

Pence was on Meet the

Depressed this morning.

Pence?

Pence.

Huh?

Okay.

He lives.

And so old Black Hands was chatting with him, and she says.

Manhands, I think is what you meant to say.

Manhands.

And she says, she's talking to him, and he comes up with, you know, he felt bad that he says he doesn't like it when a president

puts down.

Of course, this is a kind of a callback to Obama giving his speeches overseas, where he, where the president puts down,

puts down the USA.

And what he's specifically referring to was criticis was Trump's criticism of our previous

policies of previous presidents of nation building,

which it was in his big speech in Riyadh.

And he says this is no good because we don't do it.

We can't do it.

We do it we suck at nation building and every time we go in there we just ruin places and this has got to stop and we got to let people do their own thing.

It's also because we don't actually go in for nation building, that's that's a farce.

We don't it's for rubberizing, rubbleizing, we don't go in for debate.

Here's some democracy, uh-huh.

So, uh, and I found that to be that is going to be

this was a signal to me.

And I think this guy's speech was to, this is a signal of what's next.

Trump is anti-American because he because oh, yes, I think you're spot on you nailed it and and I and I can back you up I'm sure you heard about Bruce Spring scene in Manchester

yeah

duh but did but did you so you might have seen I heard the whole thing which is long it's yeah but that he was being booed by the way by the crowd who wanted news if they didn't want to hear this well that well that's that's debatable well it's debatable but if you're going to a rock concert you don't want to hear some guy lecturing you about the policies of their country.

Well, no, you don't, particularly because if you go to Manchester and you get in an Uber, a friend of mine was just there,

the Uber, the first thing the Uber or the cab driver will say is, Hey, so how's it going with Trump?

Wish we had a guy like Trump here.

That's what the people on the street are saying.

But the thing is, Bruce Springsteen,

certainly during

my days of hey,

embodied America.

He embodied the American spirit.

You know, it was like he was the working man, he was the you know, down at the docks, he was the guy, and now he's just an elitist cuck.

It's unbelievable.

What's that in your mouth?

It's unbelievable.

I mean, I have to play

because he did three different things, and he started off.

Let me just play a little bit of this.

So, this is the beginning of he did the three different stop, stop the sets.

Good evening,

Philadelphia.

It's great to be in Manchester and back in the UK.

Welcome to the Land of Hope and Dreams tour.

Can you believe this?

The Land of Hope and Dreams Tour.

Okay, Bruce.

The mighty East Treet Band is here tonight to call upon the righteous power of art, of music, of rock and roll, in dangerous times.

Narras of dangerous times, authoritarianism.

But to listen, and we can stop it whenever we want.

We can comment on it.

The amount of lies and unwell, I don't think he's lying.

I think he truly believes that this is taking place because he's in his California bubble.

Bruce, Bruce.

Come back to come back down.

Come on, man.

Come in, in California.

Oh, yeah.

He's been in California for a while now.

Come back to Tom's River.

Come back to the Stone Pony.

Bruce, come back to the Jersey Shore.

You've been contaminated.

No.

Easy royal.

Easy royal,

strange,

and dangerous shit going on out there right now.

Dangerous?

Yeah, in the country you're actually in, Bruce Springsteen.

That's where some very dangerous stuff is going on.

You're right.

In America.

Oh, in America.

They are persecuting people for using their right to free speech and voicing their dissent.

No, I don't think so.

This is happening now.

It's troublemakers who are spooks.

That's who, that's the problem.

In America,

the richest men are taking satisfaction in abandoning the world's poorest children to sickness and death.

Now, where does this come from?

Where are the world's richest men taking satisfaction in the poorest children?

They're all dying around smoking cigars, saying, How many kids did we kill?

This is happening now.

Right now.

In my country.

They're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on.

Sadistic.

Sadistic pleasure.

Are you confused with the Grammys, Bruce?

This is sadistic pleasure?

And my country.

They're taking sadistic pleasure in the pain that they inflict on loyal American workers.

Well,

when it comes to Bill Gates and Soros, maybe, maybe, but I don't think that's who you meant.

They're rolling back historic civil rights legislation.

What is he talking about?

What's historic?

Rolling back his

historic legislation.

Maybe he'll explain.

That led to a more just and plural society.

They're abandoning our great allies.

Our great allies,

that's why.

And siding with dictators

against those struggling for their freedom.

Dude, I totally need someone to just be playing keyboards while

I'm doing a rap here.

That is pretty awesome.

They're defunding American universities who have hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments they don't pay taxes on that won't bow down to their ideological demands.

Well,

man.

They're removing residents off American streets.

Residents.

Oh, by the way, he's reading this.

This whole thing is on teleprompter.

This is the joke of it.

He can't even memorize it.

The whole thing is on teleprompter.

He keeps looking down.

Residents.

Removing red.

You know what?

If you're a resident in any other country, you're not a legal resident, you get removed.

And without due process of law, they are deporting them to foreign detention centers and prisons.

This is all happening now.

Yay!

Meanwhile, we're at a 400-pound a ticket show.

A majority of our elected representatives have failed to protect the American people from the abuses of an unfit president and a rogue government.

Rogue government?

Listen to them.

They're like, yeah, that's like us.

You like us.

You like us.

An unfit president and a rogue government.

Yeah.

Oh, wait, you're not talking about Keir?

Oh.

I know they're convinced about Kier Starmer being the topic here.

They have no concern or idea of what it means.

Hold on a second.

Maybe this whole thing was ironic.

I felt it was.

And in a way, he's actually bitching about the UK.

Well, I think a lot of them there took it that way.

Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

We got a rogue government here.

The problem is, his background indicates otherwise.

He was going to leave the country if Trump won.

Twice.

Twice.

Well, he did leave it.

He's in England, as we speak.

When he left New Jersey, as far as I'm concerned, when you go to California, you left the country.

New Jersey.

They have no concern or idea of what it means to be deeply American.

The America that I've sung to you about for 50 years

is real.

It's real.

And regardless of its faults,

is a great country with a great people.

Okay,

all right.

Justice, like, no, that's sadistic.

They take great pleasure in seeing children go hungry and die.

I don't think so, boss.

So that, that, that,

what I heard there, and I watched all three of his little little diddies That really hurt me

Why are you?

Are you friends of his?

Well, I grew up with Bruce Springsteen.

I was proud of Bruce Springsteen.

I promoted Bruce Springsteen music in the Netherlands when no one wanted to hear about it.

Like, eh, that's Jersey stuff.

We don't care about it.

I love Bruce Springsteen.

That whole born in the USA, you know, he's, you see him with his blue jeans on.

He's got his little bandana hanging out of his butt pocket.

Merca.

No, that's just not him.

He is.

It's sad.

He's really turned.

He has turned his back on America.

He just doesn't realize it.

Ever since Patty Skelfam, man, I hate to say it, but.

Who?

Ever since he married the tambourine girl.

Because

he was married and he got divorced and he ran away with the girl who plays the tambourine.

That's his wife now.

And that started it, you think?

Oh, that's when it started.

I mean, that's like the yoko of Bruce Springsteen.

what definitely happened to uh rob reiner when he married the the his current wife yeah he went completely off the rails

so we live in such an oh it's the women's fault that's what you're saying

isn't isn't it always

it's always yeah like like you never said anything behind my back about my second wife i'm sure you did oh man she's ruining the show She's ruining the show.

Actually, you probably thought it enhanced the show.

So we live in an speaking of irony, in an upside-down world.

Yesterday was International Day Against Homophobia.

And I caught a

I thought, wait, hold on a second.

Before you even go there, I want you to play this clip.

Okay.

Because I don't, that's not my understanding.

Here's the real what's going on: World Pride Festival Day Month.

Well, yes, it may be World Pride Month, but yesterday was

the actual International Day Against Homophobia.

I guess they haven't.

By the way, I haven't seen the proclamation on the White House, but I'll just presume that President Trump did that.

And World Pride Festivities kicked off today in Washington, D.C., this year's host community, the biannual celebration.

Host community?

What does that mean?

It's a host community.

And by the way, when you listen to this report, is it really about

gay people or trans people?

Oh, of course.

And World Pride festivities kicked off today in Washington, D.C., this year's host community.

The biannual celebration is being held against the backdrop of the Trump administration.

Biannual, does that mean once every two years or twice a year?

It could mean either one.

The biannual celebration is being held against the backdrop of the Trump administration's moves against the LGBTQ community.

They're making moves.

They're making moves.

Nice moves.

On the National Mall, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups unveiled a massive collection of quilts.

The panels were handmade by transgender people and their families.

Previous World Pride events have been a boon for the host nation's tourism.

But this year, several countries, including Germany, Ireland, and Denmark, have issued official travel warnings for their citizens who are transgender or non-binary.

Yeah, this actually will result in homophobia.

That's what's going to happen.

It's because the gays, gays, the gays I know, the gays.

The gays, they don't like this.

They're just tired of the trans stuff.

They're really, especially gay guys.

They're now like third world citizens of the community.

They've dropped.

Their status has dropped to the floor.

It's going to be the basement.

Before you notice,

get out of here, gay guy.

We're talking to the trans over here.

It's going to be

she, it's Z, she, they, they're more important.

It's going to be L T Q B G.

They're going to move them to the back of the alphabet you watch you watch

every single gay certain gay guys but also uh women they don't like this they're tired of this nonsense and they feel it's actually hurting the movement that they fought for for so long anyway so the european union decides to celebrate international day against homophobia and

So they

start raising a flag.

And this is a very intricate flag.

It's got rainbow colors and triangles and circles.

And the first thing I thought is,

there's no LGBTQ nation.

I mean, can we just, do they put up flags for anything next to nation flags?

Is there not some flag rule against this?

That's peculiar.

And that newest flag with the circle and all the other gimmicks on there, I mean, the original gay community flag was kind of artsy.

And this thing's just

monstrous.

It's anything but artsy.

So then I'm listening to this, and I'm just like, this is an upside-down world.

So she's talking about conversion therapy, which was a thing

probably during the first Trump administration.

Who's talking about conversion therapy?

Well, this woman who's on Deutsche Vella, who you're about to hear, who was brought on to talk about the, you know, homophobia.

It's the International Day Against Homophobia.

And she's talking about conversion therapy.

Now,

if you don't know where conversion therapy comes from,

I don't know if it's such a big thing anymore, but it was blown up into a big story.

Oh, these church people, they're converting the gays and trying to make them straight.

Is that any different than a teacher who's a non-binary converting a normal child at the age of eight?

into being trans?

Is that different than that kind of conversion?

It's kind of a conversion.

That's it.

That's exactly my point.

The difference being, I don't know if you can find a conversion therapy clinic in the phone book but you can sure google as a planned parenthood everywhere is going to give your kid hormone blockers and anything else you want

um

no hormone therapy whatever converse so you can look at conversion therapy either way so when i was listening to this at for a moment there i thought what is she talking about and then i was like holy cow today many people around the world are marking international day against homophobia biphobia and transphobia day dedicated to raising awareness of life

and

women and biphobia show up.

The buys were like, hey, hey, hey, everybody's getting

phobia against us.

I want some phobia.

I want some phobia.

I want some biphobia.

Today, many people around the world are marking International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia.

This is new.

You're right.

Good catch.

I didn't hear that when I was clipping it.

Biphobia.

I have never seen a biphobia person.

Biphobia.

In fact, most guys, like, hey, woman, you're biphobic.

You're biphobia.

Oh, okay.

He dedicated to raising awareness of rights and of rights violations.

In 2025,

the picture is mixed.

Some countries are embracing marriage equality, while others are criminalizing LGBTQ identities.

This picture from what's happening in Brussels, a celebration after 1 million signatures for what are you doing?

Do you have Tourette's?

This guy is driving me nuts with his uh just listen to the message a ban on conversion therapy um joining me on the set is flora bolter co-director of the lgbti plus observatory at the jean joris now hold on a second because now i'm confused they have a telescope at the observatory

now she's not an lgbtq observer she's an ltbti observer which confused me uh signatures uh for a ban on conversion therapy.

Joining me on the set is Flora Bolter, co-director of the LGBTI Plus Observatory at the Jean-Jours Foundation.

Hello to you,

Flora.

First of all, your reaction to those images

we're seeing

in Brussels.

And also a brief explanation of what conversion therapy is and why the UN wants a global ban.

Okay, so they want a global ban, the EU, and I guess you said UN, but I think it's about the EU.

No,

I thought it said UN.

Yeah, but he just misspoke.

The guy can't talk.

That's why he's on the news.

It's EU.

And they want to global banana.

EU, UN, same word.

Whatever, yes.

So what is the

ban?

Why?

Who cares?

Well,

yes.

Well, conversion therapies, so-called therapies, are practices that are meant to change someone's sexual orientation or gender identity.

Isn't that exactly what we're talking about?

Yes, what they do in the grammar schools nowadays.

Yes, this is.

I was thinking, what you say,

which of course does not work, and there is no reason why it would be a better thing, but socially some people feel pressure from society, from their parents.

But thank you.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

Like, you're talking about the stuff you're doing.

Pressure from society, from their parents.

And frequently, people are forced into these therapies, and they're very harmful.

And we've recognized that they are harmful.

There has been a decision by the European Parliament a few years back, and in France, there has been a law since 2022 banning these practices.

And the idea is that every country should have a ban in place on those practices because they are harmful.

There is no positive outcome of these practices.

They are not therapy, and they do not convert anything or, you know, they don't convert it to.

Well, then, why worry about it?

Why worry about it?

Exactly.

They don't convert anything, it doesn't do any good.

So why ban it?

Who cares?

Well, here's the reason, as she decloaks in the second clip.

Yeah, and this comes at a time when a lot of activists or experts have been noting gradual improvement for accepting and protecting trans rights worldwide.

But now there seems to have been a shift.

Some are saying it's a normative shift.

Why is there a shift?

Whoa, John C.

Dvorak, why is there a shift?

What possibly could be the cause of said shift?

Shift?

Yes, there's a shift.

They're falling back.

There's more conversion therapy.

People are against

trans.

Yes, they're against shares.

I haven't noticed it, have you?

You don't get out of the house.

You're in California.

Well, in California, we got none of that stuff.

Exactly.

Well, there is a shift because there is a concerted offensive by certain actors, certainly actors.

Actors.

Wait, I thought Hollywood was all in on this.

How can she say that?

I think that, I believe, is when you use terms like that, that means you're

maybe, I don't know if that's elitist or if that's possibly

you know, there's a re season

where they use those terms.

Inserted offensive by certain actors, certainly actors

in Russia.

That was very clearly one of Putin's main international arguments about the decline of the West, the so-called decline of the West,

was basically that LGBTI rights were recognized in the US and in Europe.

And this has been part of an offensive against these rights.

And now we're seeing the same offensive from the US, from Project

twenty twenty five and

from President Trump.

So the American Heritage Foundation and other ultra conservative groups have been pushing these so-called values and these arguments forward using

science.

And internationally, they have gained momentum, and that is feeding into the global illiberal

backlash that we are seeing in many countries.

And that is, indeed, we're all thinking about Romania and other countries where this is an issue today.

This is part and parcel of the current far-right populistic

movement in many countries in Europe.

And this is a major problem.

It's political.

They're trying, like, it works so well in America where we abuse LGBTQI plus people

for political gain.

Let's use it everywhere.

But, I mean, Romania, Romania,

because

have you heard anything about the front runner in Romania

being

in Romania where they got a right-winger won and then they

kicked him out?

They kicked him out because

it wasn't the right political persuasion.

Yes, so

this is the hill the Democrat Party in America will die on is now spreading.

They're like, oh, this is a great idea.

Let's get those people together.

She is clearly some kind of like, just like the state, just like the USAID, you know, like, hey, let's

get some people to protest, make it, tell them that these guys are homophobic, and we get a lot of people to turn out, a lot of allies.

It's worthless.

And it's disingenuous, and it actually abuses people.

They're totally abusing people.

No, you know, Donald Trump hates you.

Okay.

Okay, but wait.

That's exactly what it is.

But wait, there's more.

Because if you didn't think Donald Trump was a racist, well, you will now.

MSNBC this morning, they laid it all out because, you know, he doesn't care about black people.

He only cares about white people.

Hey, there's lots of black people in Africa.

Who does Donald Trump save?

Only the white people.

As President Trump's cruel deportation campaign aimed at

cruel deportation.

I'm actually glad you got this because I never did get clips that I've a cruel deportation.

As President Trump's cruel deportation campaign aimed at removing millions of immigrants from the United States holders.

More immigrants.

Millions of them.

Not illegal here, just immigrants.

The president is making an exception for one group, white South Africans.

Unlike the Trump administration's treatment of other immigrants, ludicrous.

It's fantastic.

Especially those from Latin America.

and our Afghan allies that he's kicking out of sometime soon.

The president gave a warm welcome to dozens of white South Africans this week.

He's also expediting refugee statuses for the group, which he says includes victims of racial discrimination.

The move comes after his decision to freeze refugee admissions from other nations and cut off resettlement funding.

With black people.

So we have back with us former United States Ambassador to South Africa, Patrick Gaspar, is back with us to discuss.

You were former ambassador there.

Can you talk about what he is describing as persecution?

I will.

You know, I'll say a couple of things first.

You know, when I come on shows like this, I'm trained to kind of retain my anger.

Who is he trained by?

To what?

He says, I'm kind of trained to retain my anger when I come on shows like this.

Trained by who?

Well, that's my question.

He was an ambassador, so he was trained by somebody.

I will.

You know, I'll say a couple of things first.

You know, when I come on shows like this, white guy, black guy, black guy, black guy.

Okay.

Oh, yeah.

Trained to kind of retain my anger.

It's hard to do that

on this issue.

I'm absolutely furious.

There are a number of things that are going on here.

One,

Trump is playing to a domestic anger.

I'm retaining it.

I'm kind of retaining.

I'm going to keep my anger back, but I'm furious.

Yes.

There are a number of things that are going on here.

One, Trump is playing to a domestic U.S.

fringe political audience, which I'll talk about in a second.

The Afrikaners in America.

There's a geopolitical impact because there's an attempt to punish South Africa for the posture that is taken internationally on the

war in Gaza and its claims against Israel.

And Trump is very clear about

the need to punish South Africa in that regard.

But there's a third thing that's happening.

Donald Trump is the master of distraction.

And he knows that while we're having this conversation, we're not talking about the prices that are going up for average Americans in Walmart.

And he loves that.

I thought that was the best.

The price is going up in Walmart to to screw the black Americans.

So then K-part comes in.

Oh, God.

I could not resist because this just went to a whole nother level.

If you are of a certain age, you remember the anti-apartheid demonstrations that were happening all over the country and particularly on college campuses.

And to see here we are, you know, several decades hence, Afrikaners are being given refugee status and coming to

bring being brought here to the United States.

we knew exactly the signal that President Trump was sending when he did that.

Oh, they knew what the signal was.

It was a signal, John.

It wasn't any concern for anything.

It was a signal.

Absolutely, Jonathan.

You and I are old enough to have participated in

those demonstrations, right?

So the first time I ever went to South Africa was in 1991, and I got to observe Nelson Mandela's vision for a rainbow nation.

I lived three and a half years in South Africa as ambassador, and I've seen white and black South Africans and colored South Africans working every single day towards the affirmation of that vision.

I talk to my white South African friends all the time, and they think it's bizarre that this is occurring now.

This isn't, they can't recognize their country that's being described by Donald Trump.

I will say that there, you know, white supremacy has never lived in isolation.

It has always and ever thus.

Did you see how quick that went?

Did you see how quick that went?

That went from the rainbow coalition in South Africa to white supremacy.

It's being described by Donald Trump.

I will

say he had to contain his anger so he could get to this bit.

You know, white supremacy has never lived in isolation.

It has always and ever thus will be a global phenomenon.

And there is a conversation that's taking place from the United States to South Africa to Australia to in Europe.

Which show is this from?

MSNBC this morning.

This morning.

Oh my god.

It's almost over.

Bear with me.

Contain your anger.

From the United States to South Africa to

Australia to in Europe with fringe neo-Nazi adjacent groups like African.

Fringe neo-Nazi adjacent groups.

How far removed are you?

Are you a Nazi or not?

You're a fringe neo-Nazi adjacent.

Okay.

All right.

This is a new term.

To South Africa,

It's interesting to hear him use the word genocide when he's talking about a people who represent 7% of a population, have like 70% of the land, have 65% of the senior management jobs in South Africa, and whose unemployment ratio is like, you know, 120th of the unemployment ratio of blacks in South Africa.

This is deliberate.

It is signaling to his

fringe MAGA cohort here in the U.S.

and sending a wide signal to those who are neo-Nazi adjacent in other parts of the world.

Hey, Whitey, you're good here in America?

You know, this irks me because I missed a clip.

I'm going to tell, this is going to be the new segment of the show.

John tells you the clips he didn't clip.

You didn't even see this this morning.

This was no, no, but there's a previous clip I saw on MSNBC

where

they were going around about bitching and moaning about

these Afrikaner farmers that they're coming over here, giving up all their land and coming over here because it's racism.

And

of course, there are clips of guys saying we should kill all whites.

Yes.

We got tons of those.

They go

around the horn on one of these shows on MSNBC.

And the black girl, one of the black girls goes, I don't know why they're doing that.

There's also a genocide going on in the Congo, and

they're not taking any of the black Congolese.

And after she said that, one of the other black guys on MSNBC goes, no, no, no, no, you can't say that.

But the white thing is not a genocide.

They get all freaked out because she used the word genocide.

Genocide is also genocide.

But here's my question, and I will address them in their native tongue.

War sein mein Afrikaners, we wat the reporter von Julinodech.

That was my Afrikaans.

Saying, where is my boots on the ground, Afrikaners?

I don't think any Afrikaners listen to our show.

Most.

I'm going to call Laura Logan today.

She's a white South African.

I'll ask her.

She'll know.

She's right down the street.

Yeah, I think you should.

I'm going to.

So, what's the deal, yo?

How's your agenda doing?

Do you have no agenda?

That were you going to say to her?

No, no.

Piss her off.

We've already been down that road.

We've already been down that road with Laura.

Yeah.

Hey, Laura, please don't make me sue you.

Okay, you're my neighbor.

So not a good idea.

I don't want to sue them a neighbor.

It's just not a good idea.

Well, since you brought up K-part, I do have a couple of Brooks and K-part things, which

now I regret it.

Now I regret it.

By the way, this is going to happen every single time.

This is why people are running away from the show.

It's from K-part.

And it's my fault.

I mean, I opened the door.

Okay, so here's, they're talking about, they're on the Brooks and K-part part of this last Friday.

And they're going on and on and on about Trump's crazy, nutty trip to the Middle East and all the crazy, stupid stuff he's doing.

And they're in agreement with everything.

Of course.

And then they bring up the fact that somebody wants to do a reality TV show about immigration.

Now, I saw this on Instagram because, you know, people will send me an Instagram clip and it's some dude going saying literally this, you know,

someone at Homeland Security wants to do a reality show so immigrants can compete for a green card.

And I'm like, are you sending this to me as proof that someone said that?

Because where does this come from?

Do we know that anyone who's not going to be able to do it?

It actually has been documented.

The producer of this show came up with this idea during the Obama administration.

It's our idea.

Exactly.

It's an old idea.

It's our idea.

It's our idea.

It's our idea.

Yeah.

So, but it's beside the point for these clips because they go back and forth.

They throw it to Brooks, and this is the, we've got to make sure to play, this is the BBC, the BNC on reality TV.

Then I do the Ask Adam afterwards.

And so you play this, and

this is the most indicting aspect of any, all the clips I've ever done for Brooks and K-part.

This tells me everything I need to know about why

we don't want to listen to Brooks or K-part.

They're disconnected from

the real world.

They don't care about anything but themselves.

They're obviously in the cocktail set and floating around Washington, D.C.

Foggy Foggy bottom, foggy bottom.

This is actually unbelievable.

And then finally, on the game show or whatever, the reality show.

I have to confess, like American Degree, I've never seen a reality show in my life.

You've never seen a single reality show in your life, David Brooks.

I have not seen the housewives of Bethesda, Maryland.

I have not seen

Love is Art.

Love is Blind.

I did not see Duck Dynasty.

I'm bad with emotional drama.

Okay, so we have someone who has never seen a reality shows have been on the air for, what, 20, 30 years now?

Ever since Survivor?

Way before that.

MTV's Real World, I would say.

Yeah, there you go.

It goes way back.

The first real big one was the Osbournes.

That was really, that was 2002.

So we've gone over 20 years of these things, and

he doesn't watch them because of the emotional baggage that he, you know, because, for example, he's not going to be able to take the emotional effect of Duck Dynasty.

It's going to bring him to his knees.

He's going to be crying like a baby.

I don't know.

Whatever the case is, I don't want to listen to anything.

I don't think you should be all jacked up about pop culture, but can you just watch?

You don't know what you're talking about if you don't even watch one reality show in 25 years.

And there's thousands of them by now.

You don't actually believe this douche, do you?

Yes, I do.

Oh, please.

Oh, he's.

Oh, well, then let's go to K-part.

And now I'm going to ask the ask Adam right off the bat: Has K-part ever watched a reality show?

Do I answer before the clip or after the clip?

Yeah, you answer before the clip.

Ask Adam, ask Adam.

Will he know or will he won't?

I don't know, but here we go.

Ask Adam, ask Adam.

there.

Answer the question.

Go.

Not only has he watched a reality show, I predict in this obviously short clip of 10 seconds that he will tell us his favorite reality show.

Ask Adam gets one point.

I mean, I've watched reality television shows.

Okay, well, one, RuPaul's Drag Race,

which is a fabulous, fabulous, fabulous

reality show.

And I could have guessed that one.

Crap.

I could have gone for an extra point.

I would have gotten it.

Obviously.

Now, back to your point about you think Brooks is a liar.

Why would you lie about something like this when it puts you in an awkward position of being a yeah, he's a douche, but why would you say that I've never watched a reality show and now I'm going to comment on

pop culture.

I'm going to comment on world affairs.

I'm going to comment on this and that.

Why would you put yourself in that position by lying about never watching a reality show?

It makes no sense.

I don't believe he's ever watched a reality show, but I do believe

that Cape Hart

watches with relish RuPaul's drag race.

I think he's lying

because

he moves in super elitist circles.

I've been in these circles where they would never, ever admit to watching it.

So I've been in circles like this, parties, and this is when I was back in the MTV days.

And I don't know how you get, you get, you get mixed up in these things.

People say, oh, hi, I don't watch MTV.

Who are you?

I'm sorry.

You're like, you do something.

I don't watch cable.

Seriously, those are the days.

I don't watch cable.

You're watching Channel J.

I know what you're doing.

You're watching,

who was that guy?

Disgusting George.

What's his name?

The guy who walked around with a camera and a satellite dish on his head and would pick up pretty girls on the streets of Manhattan.

What was his name?

There's a bunch of shows.

I don't remember that guy's name.

Something George.

My favorite one was George.

Extra E is for extra P or whatever it was.

I don't know about that one.

The public, whatever it was

in New York City,

what's it called?

Cable access, the access channel, whatever it is, was rude

in New York.

It was

the Robin Bird show, Robin Bird.

There's another one.

Rob My Baby Bang, my box.

Yeah, Ugly George.

Yeah, it is.

The Ugly George Hour of Truth.

That's who it was.

Ugly George.

And then there was, what's his name?

Was it the guy who ran Facta magazine and he was had a show, and all he did was cuss out it.

Screw it.

It was the screw guy.

Yeah, screw magazine guy.

Screw magazine.

Gold Farm.

Wasn't Goldstein?

It was something like Goldstein, and all he did was

just say F you and he name a company.

Al Goldstein.

Al Goldstein.

That was one of the better shows.

That was the TikTok of the day, baby.

That was good stuff.

That was really.

That was dynamite stuff.

Dynamite.

Anyway, yes, I believe that he's lying.

And

these people are all stupid stuff.

Yeah,

I disagree, but okay.

Okay, I agree to disagree.

I agree to disagree.

I agree to disagree.

Sure.

Okay.

All right.

Well,

I'm spent now.

I don't know what to say.

Where do we go?

What you got?

Well, we got some global warming in Texas.

We went from, let's see, it was

Monday was one.

No, we went Sunday was, I'm sorry, one week ago.

Saturday was 55 55 degrees.

By Monday, it was 105.

Then we had a couple days in the 80s, and now it's down to a nice, cool 75.

Is that global warming?

You've been in Texas long enough to answer this question.

15 years, I'd say, is the time I've been here.

Does that make it?

Does that can you say that that's screw ball?

It's obviously global warming, or is this Texas?

In 2012,

when I first visited

2012?

No, it was 2010.

I came to Austin for the first time.

We had a meetup.

It was 112 degrees.

That sounds about right.

And it was July.

And okay, yeah.

And people went, don't you love it?

Isn't it a beautiful day?

The heat is on in Texas, where a spring heat wave has broken May temperature records in some parts of the state.

And that is not the only place where heat is an issue.

According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the planet's 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade.

Oh, of course it did.

Wait a minute.

The 10 warmest years

were in the last 10 years.

This was 15 years ago.

Every single year for the last decade has been the warmest.

No, it's just not true.

I've been here.

It's not true.

But I do like that they're saying global warming.

We did have a heat dome for a day or two.

That's where the 105 came from with just no wind.

And actually, when the heat dome moves on and the wind kicks up, that's when everyone gets nervous.

Oh, man, it's dry and the wind.

And if there's

one dude smoking a bone somewhere and he

boom, the whole place goes up.

We will burn up.

Adelita Cantu lives in in San Antonio, Texas, where it is currently sweltering around 100 degrees.

Oh, sweltering!

100 degrees?

It was just nothing.

Hey, I've been to Texas enough to know that.

I wear my hoodie in 100 degrees when I walk the dog.

And it's humid, too.

So even though we may be.

No.

No, I'm sorry.

It might be humid in Dallas or Houston, but not here, not in the hill country.

So even though we may be like hit 100, it's going to feel like 105

Texans are definitely not.

Hold on, stop it there.

100, it's going to feel like 100.

That's not what humidity does if it's real humidity.

No, it makes it feel like

you're in Florida.

It's 90.

Well, actually, that's forgetting.

Go to the Midwest, go up to Chicago.

Chicago, it's 90 with high humidity.

It feels like it's 200 degrees.

It's terrible.

I've been in New York once where it was so humid.

Oh, you want to puke.

You walk outside that I had had to change my clothes twice in one day.

It's going to feel like 105, 106.

Texans are definitely not strangers to heat.

But Cantu is a public health nurse at the University of Texas Health, San Antonio, and she knows that heat like this is particularly dangerous when it comes early in the heat season.

Where's this?

Where are these clips from?

What journalistic organization has put this together?

I believe these are MPOs.

Without any favor.

2024 being the hottest year on record so far.

And experts say heat this early in the year can be especially risky.

And PR's climate desk reporter Alejandro Barunda explains why.

Hold on a second.

But I want to be at the climate desk.

I want to be at the No Agenda Climate Desk.

I'm here.

In fact, I'm sitting behind the No Agenda Climate Desk.

And it's not just Texas.

This is increasingly a problem across the United States.

Tess Whiskels an emergency position at Harvard University outside of Boston.

She has seen the emergency room fill up during early season heat waves, even when the temperatures don't seem super high.

You tend to see outdoor workers getting sicker faster.

And we tend to see athletes and other people like that.

Whiskel says that happens because people's bodies haven't yet gone through a process called acclimatization.

That can take a couple weeks of heat exposure as bodies make some key changes.

It will sweat earlier to help cool you off when you're acclimatized.

Your whole blood volume is going to change when you're acclimatized, and all of these things help protect you from heat.

So, early in the year, a lot of people's bodies haven't done that yet.

That means a higher risk of heat exhaustion, heat stroke, even heart problems.

What are we, reptiles?

What's this climatized body now?

We live in air conditioning, lady.

Here's the funny thing about it.

What difference does it make when the

temperature goes from whatever it is to hot?

I'm not climatized yet.

If it happens in the spring, is it more dangerous than if it happens like in the late spring or in the beginning of summer or in the middle of summer what difference does it make it's actually been such a beautiful spring it's been very cool we had a lot of rain everyone's real happy but when i call laura logan about the south afrikaners i'm going to say laura are you climatized yet and i'm sure she'll have an answer for me This is, this is, you know, the more I hear these clips, because clearly no one is believing this this anymore.

I mean, you look at Instagram.

It used to be that if you did a climate change joke, it would be taken down.

I mean, there's comedians doing jokes about climate change.

It's become a punchline almost.

No one believes in climate change other than, yeah, climate changes all the time, whatever.

No one believes in it.

So you have to think that some of that sweet, sweet climate change money is going to outfits like NPR.

There must be, just like pharma, there's got to be money flowing into it.

You can't tell me they're actually interested at the climate desk.

Well, the climate desk is interested because without climate change, there's no climate desk.

But that these, these, these news models that they're sitting, they're like, oh, yes, this is, this is riveting.

I need to learn about climatization of the Texans.

You don't even care.

You hate Texans.

It makes no sense.

Other than money, money, money.

Well, anyway, thank you for coming to the climate desk.

As part of the Climate Desk,

I always investigate what we can do to stop evil, nasty, fossil fuel burning to mobilize ourselves because when we're climatized, we can't be mobilized.

So we need battery cars.

And what is the big drawback of battery cars?

I've had it because I once borrowed a Tesla to drive to college station.

It's called range anxiety.

If you run out of juice in an EV, roadside assistance is available in the form of mobile charging.

Our main thing is to get you on the go.

We get you on to go, you can make it home.

AAA is adding to its roadside assistance program with a mobile charging fleet that's free for members.

You call AAA.

We send out one of our vehicles that has the equipment to charge your vehicle.

The service takes between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how much juice you need.

So I'm going to give our vehicle some power.

The roadside service has level two chargers with adapters for any electric vehicle.

Tesla and then non-Tesla.

It's that easy.

And I run it straight to your vehicle.

I'm going to just plug this in.

That shows that it's giving it a charge.

It gives you enough to go about 20 miles maybe to get home or enough to the closest charging station.

We'll check to make sure that they have a good enough charge.

We'll follow them to the closest gas station just in case.

EV manufacturers like Toyota, Ford, and Tesla also offer mobile charging roadside assistance.

The programs vary a bit depending on the automaker, so you just need to make sure to ask about it.

AAA still gets more calls for gas refills, but is seeing a definite uptick in mobile charging.

It says it will add the mobile charges to their trucks as needed to keep up, guys, with driving into the future.

Back to you.

Here we go.

Range anxiety.

As though we need it anymore.

Now, missing from this report, I mean, if, yeah, if you run out of gas, and I've run out of gas in my life.

Yeah, everybody has.

And some guy comes along, he's got a little, yeah,

and you're grateful.

Thank you.

I'll have you on the road in no time.

Give you a can of gas.

You get a gallon.

Yeah, I'll have you on the road in no time, Mr.

Curry.

Thank you for being a AAA member.

Now, how does it work with this?

I'll have you on the road in about three hours, Mr.

Curry.

Just sit back and relax.

Do they have some supercharger in this truck all of a sudden?

They have a huge capacitor that just blows it in.

Well, they get to max whatever it is.

It's in a truck.

Yeah, it's not going to do much.

They said they get you 20 miles.

They give you a 15-minute crappy charge and you're on your way.

Which reminds me, I have to give a.

It's on your way to go wait three hours somewhere else.

Okay.

I have to, I have a car report.

A car report.

Oh, nice.

Yeah.

So I had to take my

old 20-year-old Lexus into the dealer to have some work done.

It has a bunch of expensive stuff to do.

Now, when you show up,

are they snickering at you or are they snicking?

No, nobody snickers at this car because it's so pretty.

They say, wow, there's that guy with that classic.

He just had that old car.

Well, okay, what does he want?

That's the same guy I see at the bank with that stack of $2 checks.

That guy's amazing.

So the

Lexus, one of the little benefits, you get a loaner.

Free loaner.

And so I got a loaner and I got the,

I guess it's the UX

300H.

Or no, it's actually probably, yeah, it's one of the 300.

So 300H.

It's a 300

or three liter hybrid.

It's the hybrid.

A brand new car yeah i have to say are you saying hybrid or hybrid i always say hybrid it's it's not hybrid it's hybrid i like hybrid better you you do you do so um do you i've got this car it's a battery car

with a motor which i think is fine yeah i don't know how people can drive these new cars i i will say this it's faster

it's smoother this the ride is better i was coming back i'm looking at the speedometer I'm doing 90 in a 60 zone.

And I'm thinking, oh, shit, geez.

There's that guy with that old Lexus and the stack of $2 checks.

He's doing 90 in a 60.

Pull him over.

So,

but it's the beeping and the booping and the radar and the lights going on here and there.

It's got too many, the gizmos and the crazy knobs and buttons and the

screen with all the stuff going on.

It's the nightmare.

And I would say that anyone who drives a modern, super new car,

I think they're going to develop a lot of bad habits.

For one thing, you never look to see if there's a car coming if you're going to change lanes.

You can't.

You can't.

There's too many blind spots on these things.

You look at the little cars.

There's a lot of blind spots.

They got the little radar thing, so you get a little light in the corner of your mirror.

It says, yeah, there's a car here.

Don't, no, don't, no, no.

And so on both sides, which is fine.

It's great.

It works.

And then, of course, the car, I was backing out of the driveway with this car, and then somebody

was driving up the street.

Of course, the car breaks.

It just slams on the brakes and stops me as if I was going to run into the car.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Well, that can be handy if you're looking at your phone.

Yeah, I suppose it would be handy.

If you're looking at your phone,

which is in the drawer, there would be some feat.

But I really think it's going to, people develop bad driving habits with these cars.

They're beeping at you constantly.

I completely agree.

And by the way, I see a lot of people looking at their phone in the car because these cars will keep them in the lane.

Yeah, that's another thing.

And they'll break and they'll break automatically.

I'm not worried about it.

It'll just break and it'll be fine.

It'll all be groovy.

It'll be good.

It's all good to go, man.

It's,

yeah, there's a lot of beeping and booping in the cars.

I agree.

Beeping and booping.

It just never ends.

I even gunned it once.

The car goes faster than imaginable.

It's got a good electric

because that hybrid kicks in.

The hybrid.

So it shoots off and then it gives me a beep, a little beep of discontent.

Oh, beep.

You go, you, no, you

know.

Beep.

You shouldn't do that.

You shouldn't do that.

Don't gun it.

Speaking of hybrid.

This was an interesting little news bit I picked up from CBS.

The Food and Drug Administration says it is planning to review its approval of a so-called yoga mat chemical that's been banned in Europe but can be a bread ingredient in the U.S.

The agency previously approved it.

Always grind up my yoga mats in the bread.

Bread ingredient in the U.S.

The agency previously approved it to whiten cereal flour and improve baking bread dough, but advocacy groups have raised concerns about its potential health risks.

For more on this and other health news, let's bring in CBS News Digital Reporter Alex Tin.

Alex, what are the concerns with this so-called yoga mat ingredient?

Yeah, so this ingredient, which is called ADA for short, I'm not going to try to pronounce the longer name because I did not do too well in chemistry when I was in college.

Let's give it a shot.

Azodicarbonamide.

You're the chemist of the group.

I'd have to look at the writing.

Just go, just do

ADA chemical and it pops up on Wikipedia.

ADA chemical.

Yeah.

Okay.

So, and it has the, it's a bunch bunch of balls.

It's blue balls and there are some red balls and a couple of silver balls.

It's a lot of balls.

HSO Dicarbonate.

I think it's a bonamide.

Yes.

A chemical compound.

It is a yellow to orange red odorless crystalline powder sometimes called the yoga matte chemical because that's what you want in your bread.

What is wrong with people?

DA was a bread ingredient that is used in the United States, essentially, as you said, to improve bread flour, sometimes used to improve cereal as well.

There is some concern in other countries that

when this ingredient is used in flour, it can break down into another chemical that, for short, is called SEM.

I'm not going to try to pronounce the long name for that either, which might cause cancer.

That's actually why Europe many, many years ago, said that they would not allow the use of this chemical in bread in their country in the United States.

They have said that their studies, this is according to the FDA a few years ago, found that the amount of this chemical that was showing up in the food supply as a result of the baking process was too small, they thought, to actually cause a cancer risk.

What is going on?

Secondary action, the semicarbazide.

and ethyl carbamate are the two things.

One's urethane.

This is an interesting chemical I'm looking at.

It says the chemical itself is

prepared with the treatment of urea with hydrazine.

Urea, isn't that

what is urea?

It's an ammonia compound.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's like fertilizer.

Why did this ever get discovered they can use it?

What is the point of using it?

Some guy wants, hey, I got an idea.

Let's put this in the bread.

Yoga match.

It's allowed to be added to flowers.

Because of what what reason?

I think it's called bleaching.

Subway and Wendy's decide they're not going to use it anymore.

And it's a dough conditioner.

Conditioner?

Yeah, it's bleaching.

It's a bleaching agent.

I've heard about this being a huge deal.

That this is used to bleach

dough for dough's already bleached.

I think the United States is one of the few countries, I believe, that does this bleaching.

And I've never understood why.

Yeah, here it is: a synthetic chemical compound used primarily in the food industry as a dough conditioner and a flour treatment agent.

Why do we need to condition the dough?

Isn't dough just dough?

Oh, it's added to bread and other baked goods to improve texture, increase volume.

Ah, there it is.

It's a volumizer.

So it looks like you got more bread.

ADA functions as a leavening agent by releasing gas when heated, which helps the dough rise.

Oh my goodness.

Sorry for making balloon bread,

which is out of favor.

Well, none of this should be in favor.

This is all horrible.

This is not good.

Hmm.

Well, while we're on it,

this is just nothing but bad news these days when it comes to...

Bad news.

Bad news.

Meantime, in an alarming health trend, as new research shows a rise in early-onset cancers in another alarming cancer report.

Oh, I got a follow-up to this then.

Younger adults, and now researchers, of course, want to know why.

According to the National Cancer Institute, more than 2 million Americans between 15 and 49 years of age were diagnosed with cancer between the years of 2010 and 2019.

Data shows the largest increases in breast, colorectal, uterine, pancreatic, and kidney cancers.

Dr.

Arif Kamal from the American Cancer Society joins me now with more.

Doctor, thanks for taking the time.

This is really important to talk about.

Right off the bat, I'd like to have you give us a little bit more about the findings and, of course, that all-important question: Do we have any idea why we're seeing an increase in these types of cancers, especially in younger people?

Dr.

Dvorak, do you have any idea?

Is there anything that changed in the past five years that just might have caused this?

You got to look at the dates they gave us here.

It's 210 to 2019 pre-vax.

Oh, is that what he just said?

Yep.

Yeah, this is frankly alarming.

We've never seen such a dramatic change age in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer ever before, particularly when people think about cancer.

They think about folks in their 60s and 70s.

I don't know.

He's talking like it's now.

I think they fudged these dates.

Yeah, let me hear that.

In 2019,

2 million Americans between 15 and 49 years of age were diagnosed with cancer between the years of 2010 and 2019.

Data shows the largest increases in breast, colorectal, uterine, pancreatic, and kidney cancers.

Dr.

Arif Kamal from the American Cancer Society joined.

It's very strange.

They may have just thrown that in.

You're right.

Just to kind of throw us off.

Like, oh, that was 10 years ago.

So your report now is about something that happened 10 years ago?

This doctor seems to be talking about now.

Yeah, this is, frankly, alarming.

We've never seen such a dramatic change.

age in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer.

And I say that because if it was alarming, it would have been alarming 10 years ago.

And we were doing this show.

No, it's not 10 years ago.

It's not 2019.

It's only six years ago, but it's beside the point.

It's six years ago.

Six years is a long time.

Yeah, there would have been alarming reports then, and there weren't.

Yeah, this is frankly alarming.

We've never seen such a dramatic change.

age in the number of people being diagnosed with cancer ever before.

Particularly when people think about cancer, they think about folks in their 60s and 70s.

This is really people under the age of 50.

And if you look at these types of cancers, it's a mix of cancers that can be screened, like colorectal cancer and breast, but others like pancreas cancer and uterine cancer that don't.

I think it's really important for people under the age of 50 to think about the three Bs is what I call them.

So it's bumps, bleeding, and burns.

And so for bumps, you think about breast cancer and pancreas cancer, things that you might feel on your body that feel a little off.

You should bring that up to your doctor.

In terms of bleeding, kidney cancers and colorectal cancers can lead to early bleeding that people might think is hemorrhoidal bleeding.

but that should be brought up to their doctors.

And lastly, burns.

We know that skin cancer continues to go up, particularly melanoma.

So paying attention to where you're getting burns, cutting down on that, and pointing out abnormal lesions to your doctors is really important.

And then the second part of this, and I'm curious about your clip, this is,

it's the women.

According to this study, doctor, 63% of the early onset cancers were among women.

Do we know why women are more affected?

Yeah, a lot of theories right now.

It's an overall trend, not only for younger people, but we're seeing overall women are being more diagnosed with cancer than men before.

That's also a pretty remarkable shift.

It used to be quite a bit more men were diagnosed in the last 20 years.

We're not completely sure why.

There are some hypotheses regarding unhealthy weight or diet or environmental factors.

It's important, more research is needed.

But it is also important to remember that some of these things are screenable, like the breast cancers.

We're seeing that some of the rates of return back to mammograms after COVID have returned in some communities back to baseline levels, but not everywhere.

So it's really important women out there start their mammograms at age 40 and go every year or every other year as well.

You said after COVID, that's not between 2010 and 2019.

Nope.

By the way,

Dr.

Curry recommends

thermography, not mummography.

And most women agree.

It's thermal.

You can do thermal.

You're not a doctor.

No, I'm not.

I said, Dr.

Curry.

Do you know Dr.

Curry?

I didn't say me.

I said, Dr.

Curry.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

Well, we have the same situation, only not with cancers.

Yeah.

But with strokes.

This morning, the number of young people experiencing strokes is on the rise.

You hear about it, but you just never think this is going to happen to me.

Last April, at just 23 years old, Ann Folk was folding laundry at home when she felt half of her body go numb.

Half of my body was totally immobilized on the left side, and on my right side, it felt like as if I was having a seizure that was uncontrollable.

And then I also had a very severe migraine in my head as well.

After a friend called 911, she was rushed to Endeavour Health Northwest.

I think you playing the second clip first.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize there were two.

Yeah, well, you're playing the one that's miswritten.

It says droke.

Yes, because let me just tell you.

But there's an actual clip that says stroke.

Okay, just so you know,

when I look at the, when you are talking about a clip, I started.

Yeah, I know what you do.

But let me just explain it so people don't think I'm a dummy because I keep playing two wrong clips here.

No, this is true.

Let me pre-explain your explanation.

Adam does,

to make the show work, we have to, we cue each other.

And Adam is looking for, when I start talking about a clip, he finds the clip before I'm finished with my sentence and usually has it queued up, ready to go.

Yes.

But he does it in alphabetical order.

And he knows I make spelling mistakes because of the nature of the way I type.

Just a few.

And so,

and I usually correct him, but sometimes I don't.

And so he goes down the list and he sees droke.

Yes.

And so he figures, okay, this is the clip it's going to be.

I'm going to play this clip.

He didn't notice the two on there because he just took it for granted because he didn't see anything else.

He didn't see a one.

But there is a stroke one clip down below.

I'm sorry.

And so that is

that we're codependent when it comes to making mistakes.

Different strokes for different drops, John.

But this is the way, but that's the only reason the show works as well as it does because

we're in anticipation usually,

which is why it's annoying when the clean feed goes dead and I try to interrupt and I can't.

Just call back to the earlier part of the show.

So let's go to the original clip, which starts us off because there's a gotcha in there.

We're going to turn now to a GMA Health Alert.

May is stroke awareness month.

And while most people think of strokes as health alert already,

wait a minute.

It's

gay awareness.

That means Pride Month.

Trans awareness month.

I I don't want to share my strokes with the pride or vice versa.

That's unfair.

We're going to turn now to a GMA Health Alert.

May is stroke awareness month.

And while most people think of strokes as something that affects older adults, the latest numbers show a troubling rise among young people.

Chief medical correspondent Dr.

Terry Narul is here to explain all this.

Good morning, Dr.

Narula.

Good morning, George.

That's right.

Doctors are seeing more strokes in patients under 45, and the reasons may surprise you.

And the reasons may surprise you.

You're about to hear from two young women.

Did you double that up?

I doubled that up because

the reasons won't surprise you, and she really never gives any reasons in this entire report.

It's bulky.

In patients under 45, and the reasons may surprise you, and the reasons may surprise you.

You're about to hear from two young women, both in their early 20s, who never thought it could happen to them.

Here's their story.

So the reasons may surprise you, and we don't hear the actual reasons.

Let me go.

I'm guessing our next clip is droke ABCB.

Yes, the droke one brings in some guy who kind of thinks maybe this, maybe there's no reasons.

They're not surprising anybody.

This morning, the number of young people experiencing strokes is on the rise.

You hear about it, but you just never think this is going to happen to me.

Last April, at just 23 years old, Ann Folk was folding laundry at home when she felt half of her body go numb.

Half of my body was totally immobilized on the left side, and on my right side, it felt like as if I was having a seizure that was uncontrollable.

And then I also had a very severe migraine in my head as well.

After a friend called 911, she was rushed to Endeavor Health Northwest Community Hospital in Chicago, where doctors confirmed she was suffering from a stroke from a blood clot on the right side of her brain.

For Aubrey Hasley, she was just 22 when she too had a stroke last June.

I had really loud ringing in my ears for a couple of seconds, and I guess it kind of freaks me out because my balance was so off, and I was just falling over anytime I tried to stand up.

Aubrey receiving care at the same hospital.

Doctors performing a thrombectomy to remove a clot.

While most strokes still affect older adults, the latest CDC data shows a sharp increase in stroke-related hospitalizations for people under 45.

One recent report indicating a nearly 15% rise over the past decade.

The same risk factors that you see in olderly, you also see it now in youngers, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, more stress on the patient, long working hours.

So we think this could probably

contribute to the rise in stroke in younger pressure.

It could probably contribute.

Because of Anne and Aubrey's quick action, they are both now in recovery and doing well.

Just be aware that it could happen to anyone of any age to definitely look out for those signs.

The bottom line here, strokes can happen at any age.

If you or someone around you is experiencing sudden numbness or having trouble speaking or difficulty walking, call 911 immediately.

The faster you act, the better the outcome, guys.

Boy, that was really eye-opening.

Thanks very much.

Oh, really?

I think what was the way?

Hold on.

What was the reason that will surprise you?

There was no reason that surprised me other than blood clots.

It seems like blood clots.

They throw this stuff in at the beginning of these reports, and the reasons will surprise you.

It's just a hook, and it's bullcrap.

These are the crappy mainstream media techniques that are old-fashioned and

should be abandoned.

Why don't they just say it was because all these, did they ask these two women if they had the vaccine and they had boosted?

I mean, I would like to know that personally.

I'm still stuck on it being Pride Stroke Month.

I mean, I'm not questioning it.

It's Pride Stroke Month.

I think I have an ABC stroke report as well.

Let me see if it's the same.

Stroke is the leading cause of

okay.

Well, your No Agenda show has

something to

that may

be part of it.

And, you know, this is COVID stuff.

I'm sorry, none of us are over the trauma of it.

We all know people who have gotten the vax.

We know people who didn't take the vax.

We knew people who still take the vax.

We know people who regret taking.

There's all kinds of people.

It's every the rainbow.

It is the rainbow of vaccination.

Do you remember former Pfizer vice president Dr.

Mike Yeden?

We played his

and he was like, no, this is probably not a good product.

It's not great.

So he is back on the scene and

forewarned, it's not nice to hear.

There has not been a pandemic.

Dennis Rancourt's data shows that the all-cause mortality evidence data did not increase at all in the run-up to the declaration fraudulently by WHO of a pandemic.

There is no public health emergency except that created by our governments.

A inappropriate, fraudulent PCR test was used to give people the impression that they had a particular disease where they didn't.

There were all the normal diseases.

Is just this a summary of the no agenda show for the last five years?

Yes, but then the second, yeah, this is a summary, it's only a minute, and then he gives us the bad news.

Disease where they didn't, there were all the

That were imposed above the level of nation.

Briefly, mass ventilation of people inappropriately in hospitals that led to lots of deaths.

In care homes, many people were given sedatives and respiratory depressants, which led to their deaths.

My PHC was specifically in that area of opiates and respiratory depression.

And in the community, people were denied life-saving antibiotics and died of bacterial pneumonia.

There's your pandemic.

There is no other pandemic.

And based on this lie, we were told that vaccines were coming our way and would be our savior.

Two things.

As I say, first, there's no pandemic, so you certainly don't need an experimental rushed medical intervention.

But secondly, even if you did, as someone who's worked in the industry for over 30 years, I am telling you, it's absolutely impossible to invent, test, clinically evaluate and manufacture and then launch on global scale a complex biomedical product.

It's absolutely impossible.

It's not as close.

It's years wrong.

Okay, so that was indeed the summary right down to, because remember we went to Vegas for the super spreader event and there's that hospital there and all of the

ventilator trainers, the people who train people and instruct them how to use ventilators.

And they were telling me like, man, I don't want to lose my job, but we're killing people with this stuff.

We're doing it wrong.

We're doing everything exactly the opposite of what we think we should be doing.

So, yes, that was a summary of what we discussed during COVID when people cared about us.

And now we're just wrong about everything.

Now we're just wrong.

You're wrong.

Now we're wrong because of Ukraine.

Wrong side of history, man.

Yeah, exactly.

But here comes the downer.

The fastest record price of this was six years.

And friends of mine who've worked all their lives in the manufacturing of complex biological products tell me the methods development alone for the development of a reproducible manufacturing process itself takes a number of years.

So whatever it is you think was done, I am telling you there was not the development of a proper medical product.

What I think happened was the advancement of materials that are intentionally toxic and then they were sketchily advanced and jammed into people's arms, often coerced, sometimes even mandated, with the unsurprising effect that millions of people have died.

So, I think

having heard what I've just said, that there was no pandemic and the lie was maintained in order to inject people en masse, I think, five and a half billion people with an intentionally dangerous substance, 17 million of whom have died so far.

There you go.

It's just the guy who used to be a vice president at Pfizer.

Pay no attention to him.

17 million, he says.

That's what he says, yeah.

I'm going to give you a borderline clip for that.

You know, I will take a borderline clip from you.

Clip of the day.

By the way, we have next Sunday will be a best of clips of the day show of the No.

And by the way,

oh, that should be fun.

Oh, it's I will say this about the borderline.

I would have given you maybe Clip of of the day if it sounds like

if it sounded better.

It was one of those Zoom calls.

Here's,

if President Trump would just say,

in hindsight, I did everything that I was supposed to do.

I got warp speed going.

We rushed this out.

It wasn't a good shot.

You know, he talks about the fat shot, this shot.

If he would just say that, he would endear so many many people.

That, I mean, he would piss off a lot of people, but it would bring clarity to the world.

It, it'd be, I'd be so much, I'd prefer him to say those five words.

It was a lousy shot.

Then I care more about the Epstein or the JFK, or honestly, even if there's an ice wall at the edge of the flat earth.

Firmament first, maybe.

I believe it this is not within his personality yeah i think to do this no i think you're right

and uh i don't think that uh and and the system is set up that would they would use that against him in some way or shape or form they're already trying to make him anti-american yeah uh as we discussed earlier and it's just not uh probably not a good idea

well and and there's not

in fact it's only outliers and i would put ourselves in that category, who even bring up clips like the one you just played.

And you know why that is?

That's because we don't take advertising.

That's the whole reason.

That's exactly why.

And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.

Say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in climatize.

Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.

John C.

Devores!

Hey, in the morning to you, Ms.

Ram Curry, Miss Ship Steve, put some round feet in the air, subs in the water, the the dames and nights out there, and all the dames and nights out there.

Yes.

In the morning to the trolls, it's all rolling on me.

2,294 listening live.

We'll do it live.

Hello, trolls.

That trolls are active today.

They're good.

Man, actually, those trolls in the troll room, troll.io, they're listening on the modern podcast apps.

We had a meetup yesterday.

And a girl who sings at our church was there, Holly.

And I say, Holly?

She says, yeah.

I said, what are you doing here?

Well, I listened to the show.

I said, you listen to the show?

She says, yeah, no,

I heard about it.

And then I went looking on Amazon.

What?

You're not on.

You're listening on.

Yeah, I have an Amazon podcast app.

I said, okay.

You need to go to podcastapps.com and get a real podcast app.

My goodness.

Yeah, I couldn't find everything.

No, of course not.

They'll take stuff off.

They'll even take episodes off, like spotify they delete episodes all the time and so known facts is known secret secret and unspoken fact in the podcast they don't need all this aggravation with all these extra podcast everything on there i mean they're not an archivist i don't blame them i'd take it off too if i was spotify

yeah yeah you'd be swedish So, yeah, get a modern podcast app.

It's a lot of fun.

They're much better, you know,

alerts you when we're going live.

You can't listen to a live stream on an Amazon podcast app, it's just not going to happen.

Or on an Amazon show.

No, it's not going to happen.

What does she think of the show?

She's now a listener.

She loves the show.

In particular, the first thing she said is, is John coming?

Well, she hasn't listened long enough.

No, I'm like, you're pretty new to the show.

By the way, let me just give you a quick meetup report.

This was fantastic.

This was at Bar 1776.

That's Jenny, the J6er.

That's her bar.

You know, she also has the

full moon.

I think it's full moon bed and breakfast.

Currently, five rooms have been inhabited for over a year by paroled January 6 people whose lives were destroyed.

They were in jail for several years, and of course, came out and like, there's nothing left.

And so she's taking care of them.

And Matt and Gail Long, they organized this.

They've been doing it.

They're going for twice a year.

Last one was in October.

Many of the no agenda luminaries luminaries were there.

And when I say that, I mean Dirty Jersey Whore, Sir Brian with a Lie,

Rob Ducefer, the Infowarser producer with his lovely wife, Trish, and they left their 18 human resources at home.

Rob the Constitutional Lawyer,

he's my height.

You know, he's beefier than I am.

He has a big white cowboy hat on.

And people are like, oh, you're Rob, the Constitutional Lawyer?

Awesome.

I love him.

Trinidad was there.

Trinidad,

he's kind of like a Bruno Mars type dude.

He has all the, you know, he's of some Hispanic descent and he's got, you know, his shirts open.

He's got gold chains and he's got a cool hat.

And he had this, he had a Polaroid, one of those modern Polaroids.

You ever seen those, the tiny ones that

you can pick up at, you know, like some

Gen Z store?

Yeah, exactly.

China.

And taking Polaroids.

And he said, oh, I bought a fire truck.

Yeah, he bought a really nice fire truck, like an OG, not an old school one, but like the kind you see driving around in Manhattan.

Yeah, he says, I think it's going to be worth more than Bitcoin.

Okay.

And

then

Jamie and Alyssa, who were from Dallas, they came down, young couple.

They had not one, not two,

but three trap babies.

Honest to God, trap babies.

One of the youngest was three weeks old.

And man, what a great family.

You just look at them like, wow, that's America to me, Jamie and Alyssa.

You guys are the best.

And

as an experiment, which worked out really well, Matt

invited one of his buddies who has

a barbecue outfit.

He's got a, you know, he's got a real smoker with wood, throws wood in there.

He was burning, what was he burning?

What's the

nut tree?

The pecan.

Pecan, yeah, that's big in that area.

Yeah, pecan wood.

And he did.

Sometimes they use the shells.

So he said,

Matt, the guy is not, he's no agenda listener now, but he'd never listened before.

And Matt said, you're going to do a barbecue and it's going to be value for value.

The guy's like, what's that?

You just put the food out and the people will give you money.

He's like,

okay

and uh honor bar for barbecue and he did okay i checked after he said he did okay he was really well yeah

he loved it he loved the value for value mall he thought it was really great um and i'll tell you rob gave me a lowdown on this supreme court uh habeas corpus thing which we'll talk about anyway it was a great meetup thank you all for being there uh not a lot of people were donating in person i think some of them will show up on the spreadsheet These are all donors, not a single one is not a donor.

Well, one

who was the guy who said, Hey, man, I'm on a fixed income, but here's $5.

I was very nice.

Actually, we got

the BioPros had given two bags of Bioseptic Pro,

what you called the goo for your septic tank.

Oh, you finally got some.

Yes.

And with a check for 222.22, which is five number twos, got it.

and two bags of Bioseptic Pro for you to try.

He says, Bioseptic Pro is not a goo, John, but a powder that is activated when it comes in contact with water.

It was created by a scientist who engineered the microbes and a retired chemical engineer from Pittsburgh, Plate Glass, who created the delivery medium.

It's like probiotics for your septic tank.

And they're at biopros.com.

Sir Ducifer gave us each $20 cash.

So I have an envelope for you.

Send to the Globalists

in your life, he says.

And we both got $154

for the show.

And from Gaucho Woodworking, Robert Stack from Gaucho Woodworking, he made us each a beautiful cutting board.

I thought that they were in LA.

Somehow I got to Sir Ducifer.

And this is, now we've gotten some cutting boards in the past.

This one is, I mean, yours has too many eggs on it

ingrained in the wood.

Well, that would be Mimi's then.

It's for you.

It's for you.

And Tina has promised she's going to send it off.

So I'm going to send this to John.

She probably will.

She will.

Yes, she will.

She's like that.

So that's just many ways that we share and value for value.

Another way that can be done is through the work that many people do, like organizing a meetup.

Matt Long organizes meetups.

Got to to love him for that.

Or you could make some artwork for us.

We love our art and the No Agenda artists are always hard at work during the live show.

Just, well, some are hard at work.

Some just type a lot.

Like Darren O'Neal.

Or,

or

like Darren O'Neal.

I was right.

Who did the artwork for episode 1764 titled Rage Quit?

Then

this was,

it looked like it was a cutout of a newspaper.

No agenda presents the JC TikTok show JCD TikTok show by Curry and Dvorak, the latest hip videos deconstructed.

And we just got to admit, besides the fact that there's no white in

these AI images, which you correctly pointed out, when you really, when you got it down like Darren, it's good.

I mean, it's getting hard to beat.

Yeah, except as, again, it's part of the muddy complex.

Yeah.

And I've noticed this, like, even by the one I use, they use the please donate dog from Comic Strip Blogger who uses AI.

And if you look at his, which is right next to Darren's on the on the sheet, let me see.

Uh, the no agenda, Curry and Dvork, is in it's

kind of white, but it's not.

It's kind of muddy white.

You're right.

Yeah.

We want an explanation, Comicster Blogger.

Tell us.

Well, I want an explanation from the AI.

Have the AA.

They've got to do something about the dynamic range of these art pieces.

Yeah, I don't think they can.

It's like a.

No, they have to be.

It's a copy of a copy of a copy.

It can't be done.

It's done.

There were a number of entrants.

Let's see.

What other things did we discuss?

Unlike the Rage Quit one, which I thought was funny by Darren, also by Darren with the Muppet-looking guy.

There was supposed to be me, I guess.

I don't work.

There was a lot of reparations for gingers,

which

was funny,

but not really dynamite.

Then a lot of airplanes with bows on it.

Like,

Trump playing on it.

I mean, it still takes a good idea.

You know, I don't care how much AI you have or if you do it by hand, you still need to have, you need to have a good idea.

And,

you know, that's what Darren did.

Was there anything else that we had discussed that we liked?

I don't think so.

Do you remember?

Toxic

it wasn't with the pick, it was slim pickens, I thought.

And there's a lot of pieces that I think could have been used, but in terms of what we really were attracted to, it's very narrow.

That's true, that's true.

Anyway, NoahgendaArtGenerator.com is where you can participate in this so-called contest where we do it every single show.

And we're very grateful to our artists in the No Agenda Nations.

They can get Monation.

We also thank everybody who supports the show financially, and it's incredibly important that you do that.

And

I don't care if it's $5 a month, whatever you can afford, if you can value from the show, you should be sending value back to us.

That's what has kept us going for more than 17 years now.

So we'll thank everybody, $50 and above.

And we do like to highlight kind of a Hollywood vibe that we've developed over the years,

which is the executive and associate executive producers, kind of like Hollywood, where if you actually pay a lot of money and we're not talking like millions of dollars, you know, we're talking $200 or above, then you get an associate executive producer credit and we'll read your note.

And there's some long notes today.

We try to make it a little short if possible.

And $300 and above, you get an executive producer credit and we'll read your note.

And both of these can be used as official Hollywood credits.

People do it all the time, including imdb.com, universally recognized as the credit repository.

And you can see there's over a thousand people who have opened up an account and legally and correctly added their executive or associate executive producer credit to it.

So I'll kick it off with Ben Nidas.

Ben's been around.

San Francisco, California, 63933.

And he says, John, sorry, John.

Sorry, John.

The IRS hit me hard this year.

So

cooped, oh, could only give you four silver ounces for the recent meetups.

Did you get four silver ounces?

I got four coins.

each.

Where's mine?

I put it aside.

You'll get it eventually.

By the way, today, no, tomorrow.

Do you know what tomorrow is?

It's our anniversary.

You know what the anniversary is?

No.

Five years since we last saw each other in person.

So you've been married for five years?

Tomorrow, yeah.

Like the way you put it.

It's kind of messed up because I had a whole

day and we're going to stay overnight in Austin.

I'm going to have dinner at our restaurant when we were dating.

Did you have a fancy dinner last week?

No, this is just Tina and myself, but she came down with, I don't know what it is.

She has the koof?

The koof, the goop koof.

It's, it's just in her head.

It's not, she has no body ache, but she's coughing and congested.

And, and, uh, uh, and we're traveling next weekend, so I'm like, I don't think we should go, which is a bummer.

But yes,

it is our first time.

Oh, that sucks.

It really does.

We were looking forward to it.

You clear the decks, no meetings, no nothing.

And then this happens.

So that's why I then remembered that's the last time we saw each other face to face.

It's probably a good thing.

Oh, yes, definitely.

Definitely.

And he says, John, on your birthday, the Troy ounce was worth $33.

The image of you rocking back and forth in the chair was too disturbing to imagine.

I'm not quite sure what he's referring to here.

It was

the rage quit bit.

Oh,

remember?

Yes, I remember.

And he wants some chemtrails and fluoride in your cup.

Chemtrails.

It's hard to waking up.

Is fluoride in my cup?

There you go.

You got some fluoride in your cup, brother.

Andrew Gibbon in Darlington, UK, 420.

It's not 420, but maybe it came in at whatever.

But he doesn't have a note.

This came in over Stripe.

He had no note, which gives him a double up karma.

And he's from the GBs.

You've got

karma.

Which brings us to Jason Roman from Eatontown, New Jersey, 338.22.

He says this is a switcheroo donation on behalf of our wonderful son, Nicholas Roman, who graduated from Rutgers.

Hold on a second.

Let me make sure we get that switcheroo in there.

Graduated from Rutgers University last week and will soon be a dude named Ben.

As if graduating wasn't enough to accomplish this year, the 32125 plus fees donation also celebrates the birth of Nick's daughter and our first grandchild, Francesca Rose Roman, who came into the world on 32125.

See, numbers are important.

So what gift do you get for a young man who has it all?

He's got a degree.

He's got a kid, presumably a wife.

Of course, a producer credit for the best podcast in the universe.

We are so proud of the man he has become.

Listening to the No Agenda podcast has been such a positive influence on him and has kept our family grounded and always seeking the truth.

Remember, families that NA together stay together.

I love hearing that.

I'd like to request some goat karma for him, his girlfriend Christine, and the rest of the family.

For jingles, can we have Trump Massive Dumps?

I got that.

That's for Nick and two favorites of mine, Rule Follower

and

John's creepy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

Do you remember what we titled the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

I was trying to find it earlier, and is it John?

No, I can't.

Do you know how many times we have a.

Oh, I have it here.

Okay.

Whoops.

I just found it.

Here we go.

They did dumps.

They call them dumps.

Big massive dumps.

I'm a rule follower, so if the rule is that we have to do it, then I'll do it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, and he ends by saying, hope you guys can make it to the East Coast for a meetup a few times before you wrap it up.

Thank you for your courage.

Four more years, Love is Lit.

Jay Roman, aka Mappy.

Thank you, Mappy.

Then we go to Bowman and McMahon in San Antonio, Texas, where it's 105.

Yeah, McNairs.

1933.

Here's a simple message.

Thank you for your courage, he writes.

Nice.

Air Dadarian, Trabucco Canyon, Air back on the stick.

$250, associate executive producership, not his first, and says, thank you for an outstanding product.

And thank you.

We appreciate you, Era.

Well, that gives you the next one to read because it blows out my spreadsheet on my small monitor.

Consider a larger monitor.

ITM gent says Daniel Peruzzo from Courtenay, British Columbia, Candinavia, 238.60.

Now, is that, oh, he's going to be moved up because

this is indeed a 333.33 Candinavian donation, not only to support the best podcast in the universe, but also to help spread the word about a groundbreaking invention.

333.33 is now

238

and 60 cents.

Oh, my God.

He wants to help spread the word about a groundbreaking breaking invention with the potential to revolutionize energy production.

I'm listening.

Zero-point energy.

This innovation could bring an end to endless financial drain of the climate agenda that will burden many future generations, perhaps held an end to the never-ending wars, and bring real relief to those who need it most to dream on.

My name is Dan Peruzzo.

I'm a small-time video producer in Courtney, BC.

I recently did an interview with Dr.

Andrea Rossi in Rome, who has created a device called ECAT, the energy catalyzer, that produces electricity in self-sustaining mode.

You mean like a

perpetual motion?

Which means it can create energy without the need for fuel.

This is based on the concept of L-E-A-I-R.

I love this.

Low energy nuclear reaction, aka cold fusion.

Oh my gosh.

This is awesome.

Which was first introduced to the world in the late 80s by scientists Pons and Fleischmann, but swiftly headed into the dustbin of controlled conspiracy theories.

Yeah, yeah,

John's rolling his eyes.

You can find the video titled ECAT, the new fire, on my website, solutionsunincorporated.com.

Not my best work, but I really wanted to get the word out that this tech is real and close to market.

However, I do have concerns.

Oh, it's always...

By the way, anti-gravity any minute.

Energy is a multi-trillion dollar industry.

I will assume those who control the sector would not care for this technology to see the light of day, like many other inventions that have mysteriously disappeared right before they hit the market.

Think Nikola Tesla, Stanley Meyer, Tom Ogle, Yule Brown, Royal Rife, and the list goes on.

My fear is the same will happen to Dr.

Rossi's ECAT.

Although he has secured investors and moved from development to manufacturing, I could easily see being tied up in bureaucratic red tape or being bought up by a

jeeze.

By a shell corporation and filed away into the oops, how did that get lost drawer?

Oh my god, how much more do you have here, bro?

Okay.

Anyway, ECAT, New Fire, on his website, Solutions Unincorporated.

I'll take a look for sure.

No jingles, good karma for all.

And please call out our freshly installed Prime Minister, Mark Carney, as a douchebag.

Douchebag.

All right, brother.

Thank you very much.

I'm a fan.

I'm a fan.

That was quite a lot.

All right.

Onward with William Messing in Veshan, Washington, 233.

This is Associate Executive Producer.

Donation for my lifelong friend, Sir Chris of Carmel.

Please play a Reverend L.

Jingle.

I got one.

R-E-S-P-I-C-T.

By the way, I'm trying to read through the rest of that note that he sent that didn't fit on your spreadsheet or mine.

He says, hey, man, maybe get Dana Brunetti to do a movie about him.

Yeah.

That would be quite cool.

Brunetti.

Brunetti, you're up, man.

Okay.

Where are we?

We are

at Sean Homan.

No, I'm not.

Tell about Baron Victor.

I'm going to tell you about Baron Victor.

Baron Victor from Corvallis, Oregon, 231.

Hello from Baron Victor of the Willamette Valley.

I was just noting that I was first knighted on 320, 2012.

I'm now a Baron and also a Commodore.

I wear my ring every day.

ITM.

Thank you, brother.

And ITM to you.

Sean Homan in Noblesville, Indiana, 21911.

And he says, book of Acts, Acts, Acts,

chapter 5, verses 40 through 42.

Trust in his promise.

So you should go read that.

I have read it, actually.

It has something to do with our donations.

Yes, I completely trust in his promise.

That's right.

But he's saying it for you.

So you can.

He's saying it for me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

He's trying to bring you back to the kingdom, you lapsed Catholic.

You.

People will try.

It's what we do.

It's the Great Commission.

Coming in with $205.18.

There he is.

Our supplier, the man who gives us the buzz, Eli the Coffee Guy, Bensonville, Illinois.

The new sad puppy in the newsletter got to me.

AI is taking over and it's even replaced the OG sad puppy.

What is the world coming to?

He's got a point.

Can I get some jobs, Karma, for the start of another

great farmers' market season?

Yes, to all producers in the Chicago land area.

That's interesting, by the way.

He goes to the big farmers' market there.

Yeah, that's what's what you do.

If you're serious, farmers' markets are great.

We have one here every Thursday.

You know, I let me please stop for a second.

Are you going to say something about yeah, the farmers' markets around here?

Uh, there's a couple of good ones, most of them are a blatant rip-off.

The one in Emery, no, it's in Kensington that takes place in the morning of the show.

There's a couple of bakeries there.

It's like guys' bakeries and other people there.

And the prices are - the bakeries are the same as at the bakery, but the vendors of the strawberries and all the rest of it, they jack up the price.

The farmer's market is supposed to be a way to get rid of the middleman and get a deal.

You're supposed to get a deal.

If you go to Georgia, you go to Atlanta, Georgia.

I've I've been to the farmer's market there.

It's like a good deal.

You're not getting ripped off.

You're getting to farmers' prices.

These around here, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area, I'd say the one at the ferry building and elsewhere, and the one in Kensington, for example, are just a gip.

They're a ripoff.

They add two or three bucks to the price because, oh, it's from the farmer.

Bull crap.

Well, we have a farmer's market here, which is not bull crap.

Unfortunately, it's on Thursday, so I can never attend it.

And when I was in Austin, I still miss Farmer Chris.

Farmer Chris with the eggs.

I miss Farmer Chris's eggs.

To continue with Eli the Coffee Guy, he says,

he says, so I'll produce in the Chicago area.

Hope to see you at our tent sometime this summer.

And visit our website on the Soch Nets to see where we'll be.

Thank you for your courage and stay caffeinated, says Eli the Coffee Guy.

This brings us to Stephen Anders, who's in München.

Yes.

Munich.

Hello, München, Deutschland.

Here's the host.

200 bucks.

He doesn't have a note, but so we'll give him a double up karma.

Yes, we will.

Send the note.

You've got.

Double up.

Probably Stephen.

Probably Stephanie.

Stefan.

Stefan Anders in München.

And last on the list, she's always on the list and we love her for it.

Associate Executive Producer Credit.

Again, Lyndon Lupatkin Patkin from Lakewood, Colorado, $200, and she wants jobs, Karma.

And she reminds us all for a faster job search with a resume that gets results, go to ImageMakers Inc.

for all of your executive resume and job search needs.

That's imagemakersincwithak.com and work with Linda Liu, Duchess of Jobs, and she is also the writer of resumes.

Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Let's vote for jobs.

You've got karma.

Yeah, so

I was talking to Sir Ducifer because he knows the pro the

probiotic.

What is the bio?

No, what is it?

Not probiotic.

What are they called?

Thebiopros.com.

I said, does anyone buy this stuff?

Oh, yeah.

Gangbusters.

What?

From their donation.

They've donated a couple of times.

Oh, you're talking about the

goo.

The non-goo stuff?

Septic tank.

Yes, yes.

The septic tank crap john exactly um and he said oh yeah yeah people love it it sells well but i suppose if it works they would well i'm not putting it in my septic until i talk to paul the septic guy paul is oh yeah you should always consult with the septic tank expert before yeah adding stuff to your septic system he will either say wow that's interesting or Get out of here with that nonsense.

What if he says, give me a bag?

I'll give him a bag.

I got two bags.

I'll give him a bag straight up.

Paul is no nonsense.

He's like a Ted Nugent guy.

Hey, hey, man.

Yeah, I went to see the nudge the other day.

Paul, Paul is an awesome dude.

Anyway,

Ted Nugent is still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

No, of course not, because, you know, he's a Ted Nugent.

Of course he's not.

And you know what?

I think he refuses.

Oh, yeah, he refuses now because they won't let him in.

Of course.

Once they let me in.

Once they let Abba in, it's like, okay, why?

Thank you all very much to our executive and associate executive producers.

You can become one too, or you can just support us with any amount you want at noagendadonations.com.

We appreciate seeing the value returned to us.

Nice to see more people donating.

Not so much about more money.

It's just let us know that you are alive.

You have a heartbeat.

We know there's a lot of people listening.

Noagendadonations.com will thank people $50 and above in our second segment.

And as always, you can just set up a recurring donation, any amount, any frequency, all up to you.

We don't make a big deal about it.

No hoops, no, no levels, no tote bags, none of that.

Just go to noagendadonations.com and thank you for supporting us for episode 1765.

Our formula is this:

we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Shut up, slave.

Shut up.

Yes.

I have a series of U.S.

government versus Harvard.

Yes, yes, Harvard, Harvard.

Let me just recap.

So this is really about President Trump saying, hey, you guys, you jacked up the prices on admissions.

You got hundreds of billions of dollars in endowments.

You don't pay any tax on it.

You're a bunch of elitist globalists.

I'm to screw you for ideological reasons.

How is he screwing them?

He's just not giving them government money.

It's a private institution.

Why do they deserve government money?

I'm saying this because I'm asking you.

Well, they don't, but I'm saying this because that's what was on the clip earlier.

It's a callback, baby.

So let's play this and see what's the complaint now.

The Trump administration's feud with Trump stopped the clip already.

Stopped.

Another NPR hating on Trump clip.

The Trump administration's feud with major American universities escalated this week.

The federal anti-Semitism Task Force notified Harvard that $450 million of the school's research grants are being cut.

And that's on top of the $2.2 billion that had previously frozen.

Laura Barone-Lopez spoke with one of the affected researchers,

Jane Brugge, the director of Harvard's Ludwig Cancer Center.

Dr.

Brugge, you've been working for years on breast cancer research.

Tell me, what type of research exactly are you doing and the type of progress that you've made?

In my lab, the ultimate goal of our research efforts is to find better ways to detect, to detect, and to destroy cancer in its tracks.

And the breast cancer research project that is funded by a National Cancer Institute grant that is currently frozen specifically aims to identify and profile the earliest precursors or harbingers of breast cancer before these precursors become cancer.

God, they're doing important work.

National Cancer Institute Fund, is that so, in other words, that doesn't really exist?

That's just government money.

Is that what you're saying?

I'm not sure.

It sounds like it.

So, 400 million bucks is not going to Harvard because they're a bunch of Jew haters.

And so, she's whining because the national, yeah, that's the reason.

Yeah, that's the reason.

Is that the only reason?

Well, nobody likes it.

It's also, you know, this could be a money grab.

Yeah, it could be.

Just possibly.

So the goal then is to develop methods to detect these early precursors and then design treatments that prevent them from becoming cancer.

So that means, say, if someone had one of those, what's known as a BRCA gene, that you could help stop that in its tracks?

Yes, this would allow us to monitor the development of or the expansion of these early precursors.

And even before we had treatments for them, we could be able to tell when they're starting to expand.

And that would be a real cue, that would be the cue for those women to have the prophylactic breast cancer mastectomies.

How important ultimately are federal grants in the work that you do?

I would say federal grants are the most important

contributors to our research effort.

There just isn't enough money from foundations or partnerships with companies

to cover the amount of research that

there's opportunities to pursue.

There's an interesting tell in that.

The tell or interesting point here, there's not enough

nonprofits, basically what she said, or companies that are even interested in stopping cancer.

Of course they're not.

It's a boondoggle.

Well, whatever they develop, though, it's those companies that make the profits.

Yeah, but if they saw, if they, if they cure cancer, oh, they're not curing cancer.

That's what I'm saying.

By the way, on the quad box right now,

former President Biden diagnosed with, quote, aggressive prostate cancer.

It's in his bones.

It's in his bones?

Yeah.

That's not where prostate cancer usually goes, but okay.

It says Biden diagnosed with, quote aggressive unquote prostate cancer has spread to his.

I think he did get the vaccine.

Has spread to his bones.

So,

before you go on,

this complaining, this is 440 million bucks, I think, that the government's not pulling.

So, you know, screw it.

Yeah.

What would you just get?

I know you probably don't know this off the top of your head, but for example, let's look at the top 10 pharma companies and their

net profit.

What was the profit made by, let's say, the top one, Johnson ⁇ Johnson, in 2024?

What was the profit?

How many dollars did they end up in their coffers

at the end of the year?

So profits, though, it's after they've paid for everything, they're employed.

Yeah, everything's all taken care of.

Everything, so it's just pure.

Are they a public company, Johnson ⁇ Johnson?

Yes, of course.

I would say

$23 billion.

Well, that's high.

But it's $18 billion.

And every other of the top 10 is 15 billion or more.

It's 15 billion, 16 billion, 17 billion.

These are billions and billions.

Hold on a sec.

So, what you're saying is they should, I mean, if you got 18 billion,

17 and a half billion is okay.

Shouldn't they be giving that to Harvard so that they can?

10 billion is okay, and they can give 8 billion to Harvard.

But they don't give any billion to Harvard.

They do.

It was not talked about in this report.

Neither is it talked about in this report by Lopez How much money these pharma companies are just making, they're making bank.

All you can go to the top 20, and it's all in the multi-billions, you know, from 10 billion to 18.

You're thinking that Lopez is going to ask a question that might look bad of the pharmaceutical industry?

Please, do I think that?

Yeah, what do you think?

I think so, but

the point is that this whining anti-Trump, oh, it's his fall is bull crap.

Yes, but with the termination of, say, for instance, the grant to our lab,

we wouldn't have the money to fund salaries for the postdoctoral fellows or trainees

that are doing the work.

We lose the money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for the technology.

Hold on a second.

How about taking

just

the annual interest on your $100 billion industry?

is about $60, $50 to $60 billion.

Okay.

Okay.

Do you think

there's a billion dollars?

I know there's a million ways

at least a billion, yes.

These are trainees and research scientists that are doing the work.

We lose the money necessary to buy supplies for these studies and to pay for

technologies, and this would severely

impede progress towards our goal, especially when we're so close.

We've actually identified these cells that we think are the earliest

cancer.

And so we wouldn't be able to develop the methods so that this work would have impact in the community.

I never imagined that there would be a cross-the-board cut in research that could have such important

implications for the general well-being of the United States.

If research like yours is ultimately cut off, what effect would it have on everyday Americans and the work that you and others do at Harvard?

There would be a really significant delay advancing all of the research findings that we've made to date.

And so this

would slow down the development of therapies, depending on how long and how broadly these cuts are applied.

But there are a lot of other consequences, like the reduction in research funding would reduce the pipeline of disease-impacting discoveries from U.S.

academic institutions to pharmaceutical companies that then translate the discoveries into treatments and cures for diseases.

So, industry relies on these discoveries.

We would also lose our competitive edge and leadership in the world.

Laboratories in other countries would have a significant competitive edge if the discoveries are made outside the United States.

Huh.

What a crock.

You know, now that I think about it, I'm just looking at Biden, I'm thinking about Trump, and I'm thinking about you.

You really know a lot of stuff.

You should run for president.

You got at least 15 years to become president.

Yeah, I do.

I got time ahead.

With something like that.

Yeah.

But

this is a nonsense complaint.

$440 million.

And they say, and the poor pharmaceutical companies aren't going to get the benefit of our research.

The pharmaceutical companies should be giving you the $440 million.

It's not a big deal when they're making $18 billion a year

at minimum, and that's one of 20 or 30 of these companies.

The other thing, it's just ludicrous.

And then you have your own endowment, this whining, and they get backed up by PBS and this Lopez woman.

It's just pathetic.

And it's all

how dumb do they think the public is to fall for this?

Well, the public isn't watching that.

So, you know, this well, they are.

They're not watching, they're not listening.

There's a lot of people that watch and listen to this rap.

Yeah, or are they listening to our show?

I don't know.

We have a million.

We got the Cognicenti

to our show.

The Cognicenti.

Yeah.

I'm writing it down.

I want a t-shirt.

I'm a Cognicenti.

You are.

You're actually a Cognicenti.

You know, this whole, we don't have any clips about it, but the whole Comey 8647 Shells on the Beach deal.

It's funny we don't have any clips.

Yeah, because we're both like that.

That's all Fox talked about.

I roll.

But I like the coincidence

that when he posted that picture, it had been 8,647 days since September 11th, 2001.

I don't know who came up with it,

but what is James Comey really trying to tell us?

Well, that's an interesting co-inky-dink.

There's no coincidences in the kingdom.

So, yes, everything seems to be anti-Trump.

Killed the president, 86, 47.

He's no good.

He's horrible.

He's racist.

He's a white nationalist.

He criticizes the country from afar.

African News did a positive little, well, only a minute, but they had a positive wrap-up of his deals, the deals he did for us, people.

United States President Donald Trump wrapped up his Middle East tour on Friday that saw him visit Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and was the last stop in the United Arab Emirates.

In this first visit to the UAE by a U.S.

President since 2008, the two countries pledged to strengthen ties and announce deals totaling over $200 billion.

This includes a partnership with the UAE to build a massive AI data center in its capital, Abu Dhabi, and for the Gulf State to buy advanced AI semiconductors from US companies.

Its Etihad Airways has said it'll buy 28 US-made Boeing aircraft in a deal worth $14.5 billion, while Abu Dhabi, the UAE's capital, pledged to hike the value value of its energy investments in the U.S.

to $440 billion in the next decade.

The four-day trip was very much focused on business and resulted in a string of lucrative deals for both Washington and the three countries.

Trump boarded Air Force One in Abu Dhabi on Friday, giving his signature fist pump before heading back home, having shifted Washington's focus from Israel to the wealthy Gulf states.

Yeah, he's sent give those NVIDIA chips to the Arabs.

What are they going to do with them?

I guess because they have cheap power.

Is that the idea?

I think so.

They'll be training the models in the desert.

Might work.

Training the models in the desert.

So I have a couple of clips here about tariffs, which I do want to get out of the way.

ABC will kick it off with Senator Rand Paul,

who is, this is his shining moment, everybody.

This is all unconstitutional.

It's no good.

We can't have this.

He's not a team player right now,

which is his goodness.

He's never been a team player.

No, but we could have used him, I think, now.

Hey,

I just want the taxes on tips to go away, man.

Make one of these millennials be quiet.

Okay, Senator, let me turn to tariffs.

The president also announced a temporary reduction to those big China tariffs, although there's still 30% tariffs on goods coming in from China as he negotiates, tries to negotiate a new deal.

Walmart is warned that this will result in higher prices.

What's your assessment?

Well, tariffs are taxes.

No,

I really despise this line.

Tariffs are taxes.

No,

they're not.

John, are tariffs taxes?

No, they're tariffs.

They're tariffs, exactly.

Otherwise, that's why they have a different name.

Yes, but

tariffs are taxes.

Well, tariffs are taxes, and when you put a tax on a business, it's always passed through as a cost.

So there will be higher prices.

And I think this is what's important to know.

People talk about, oh, this is America versus China.

The U.S.

doesn't trade with China.

You trade with Walmart, or you trade with Target, or you trade with Amazon.

Americans go in and buy a product.

Now, it might come from China, but think about it this way.

Think of the entire trade with China was all TVs.

A million people go to Walmart and they all buy a TV.

They like the quality.

They like the price.

And it happened to come from China.

But then you draw a circle around China and the U.S.

and you say, oh my goodness, it's a trade deficit.

We buy all of our TVs from over there.

But each individual transaction, each individual who bought a TV was happy.

But how can you draw a circle around a million happy people and say they all got ripped off?

So there's an economic fallacy here.

And the fallacy is that trade deficits actually mean anything.

They're an artificial accounting.

The only trade that means anything is the individual who buys something.

That's the only real trade.

And that, by very definition, if it's voluntary, is mutually beneficial or the trade doesn't occur.

This is the worst economic analysis I've ever heard.

This is typical of the economics of an ophthalmologist.

So, yeah, let me ⁇ I want to play something that President Trump said just recently, specifically talking about...

The non-Carlton deficit with Canada.

Take a listen.

Why are we subsidizing Canada $200 billion a year or whatever the number might be?

It's a very substantial number.

And it's hard for the American taxpayer to say, gee, whiz, we love doing that.

So the actual trade deficit with Canada is actually a little less than, or quite a bit less than $100 billion.

But even so, is a trade deficit subsidizing Canada?

He should say yes, because if tariffs are taxes, then you have to call the opposite

subsidies.

That would be fair if he said that.

No, they're really not related at all.

What happens if we trade with another country because they have less expensive goods is we become richer.

There's all kinds of things that happen to that extra money, but you are richer because you've gotten a product at a lower cost.

This is the other fallacy they put forward.

They say, oh, the middle class is being hollowed out.

If you look at the middle class over 70 years, the middle class is about the same as it was 70 years ago.

The one segment of our economy that has grown is those making over $100,000 a year, and that has tripled.

So most of the middle class, if the middle class shrunk at all, actually went to an upper class.

If you say upper class begins at $100,000.

So most of this is just fallacy.

We have gotten rich, rich, rich off of trade, all Americans, and it is lifting all boats, and we are richer than we have ever been in any time in our history.

But it's not easy to convince people of that because there are short-term problems.

where you have inflation like during the last four years where the middle class actually did lose purchasing power and did get poor.

But if you look at it in the long term, it's not trade causing this.

The thing that makes us poorer, if anything, would be inflation and the general rise of prices from inflation.

Well, he's right there.

Yes.

And I think the inflation he's talking about is money creation.

But come on, Rand Paul.

Come on.

Why is he doing this?

And he's wrong.

And his premise is also somewhat wrong because a lot of it says we don't trade with the public, doesn't trade with China.

Yes, we do.

Of course, we do.

Anyone with a Timu or Xi'an accounts, and there's millions and millions of people in the public were trading directly with China.

Yeah.

And a lot of the stuff you even buy from Amazon is coming directly from China.

The public is trading directly with China.

Yes.

And the stuff you get is

a lot of it is pure junk.

It's not making anybody richer.

It's making people poorer.

You get junk in your house.

And then you got to buy another copy.

Yeah,

and now it fell apart.

I got to buy another one.

Now we need to move to Scott Besant,

and he joined your pal, Kristen Welker.

She's your pal, right?

Manhands, yeah.

Oh, no, Kristen Welker.

Yes, yes.

I always mix her up with, yeah, I don't know.

I can mix her up with anybody.

Meet the press about the Federal Reserve.

How far, Mr.

Secretary, is the president, is the administration willing to go to prevent CEOs from increasing prices?

Well, I think what we are hearing here is that

people are saying tax increases are inflationary.

That

when I was testifying before Congress last week, one of the congressmen said that, and I said, well, Congressman, if taxes are inflationary, let's cut taxes.

So let's get this tax bill done, bring down taxes, which according to this line of thinking should be disinflationary.

But the Federal Reserve has said that tariffs are inflationary, just to be very clear.

You said you called Walmart.

Is that what CEOs can expect?

That you, that the President, that other members of the administration will apply pressure to try to prevent them from passing on these prices to CEOs?

I didn't apply any pressure.

Doug and I have a very good relationship, so I just wanted to hear it from him rather than second, third hand from the press.

And again, as I said, this is all from their earnings call.

And on an earnings call, you have to give the worst case scenario.

Kristen, to go back to what you said, the Federal Reserve is not saying that tariffs will cause inflation.

They're saying they're not sure and that they're in wait and see mode.

That's interesting.

I've not heard the investor calls, so it isn't necessarily true that Walmart said, we got to raise prices.

They said, we may have to raise prices depending on the market situation.

See how that gets twisted around?

And by the way.

Well, the news media picked it up and ran it as though it was a slogan.

When, in fact, Walmart's never going to promote that.

They used to always have the, oh, we're lowering prices back to whatever.

They're not going to go out and promote, hey, we've raised our prices.

Come visit us.

Come shop.

And Kristen, why didn't Kristen say, as a gay man, do you hate working for that homophobe, Donald Trump?

I'm waiting for that question.

Let's start right there with Moody's downgrading the nation's credit rating, and they do cite the debt.

I want to read you a little bit of what Moody says.

Data says, quote, if the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act is extended, which is our base case, it will add around $4 trillion to the deficit over the next decade.

Several Republicans, Mr.

Secretary, are citing similar concerns.

Does the President's tax bill need to do more to wait?

So that's $400 billion a year?

No.

Wait.

Yes.

over 10 years, 4 trillion.

A trillion is a thousand billion.

Yeah, it would be 400 a year, yeah.

That's all that's what we send to Ukraine.

What is that?

They always do.

I don't like it when they do that.

They always like to do this.

This is another, yes, this is another trick.

I've heard it a lot of times.

We haven't discussed it.

We haven't brought it up, but it's common.

Yeah, it's going to cost the country $2 trillion over 10 years.

Yeah.

$2 trillion over five years.

$2 trillion dollars over a hundred years.

I mean,

what's it going to cost?

And by the way, over 10 years,

400 billion will be

like 100 billion today

with inflation.

Secretary are citing similar concerns.

Does the president's tax bill need to do more to address the nation's debt and deficit?

Well, Kristen, first of all, I think that Moody's is a lagging indicator.

I think that's what everyone thinks of credit agencies.

Larry Summers and I don't agree on everything, but he said that when they downgraded the U.S.

in 2011.

So it's a lagging indicator.

And just like Sean Duffy said with our air traffic control system, we didn't get here in the past 100 days.

It's the Biden administration and the spending that we have seen over the past four years.

We inherited 6.7%

deficit to GDP, the highest when we weren't in a recession, not in the war, and we are determined to bring the spending down and grow the economy.

Yeah, but, Mr.

Secretary, you're talking all kinds of numbers and complicated things.

What about Walmart rising prices?

Let me ask you about Walmart, this big news from Walmart.

It says it will start,

Mr.

Secretary.

Raising prices on its consumers, Mr.

Secretary, as early as this month prior to the tariffs.

Now, President Trump out with a very stern warning on social media saying Walmart

the tariffs, adding the company made far more than expected last year.

Is the president asking American companies to be less profitable?

I was on the phone with Doug McMillan, the CEO of Walmart, yesterday, and Walmart is, in fact, they are going to,

as you describe it, eat some of the tariffs

that

just as they did in 18.

Wow, what did he just eat?

Eat some of the tariffs.

In fact, they are going to,

as you describe it, eat some of the tariffs

that

just as they did in 18, 19, and 20.

The other thing, though, that we are seeing, that Doug passed along to me, that with their consumer, the single most important thing is the gasoline price.

Gasoline prices have collapsed under President Trump.

So we are seeing that.

The other thing that will happen, that is a direct tax cut for consumers.

Then the transportation costs are also a big input.

So let's see what happens.

What you were describing was Walmart's earnings call.

The other thing that companies have to do, they have to give the worst case scenario so that they're not sued.

So, you know, I think overall we are seeing a decline in services, inflation, and

we we saw inflation come down for the first time in four years.

Who advises this guy on his communication skills?

He should say,

you've made a storm in a teacup, which may not even exist because gas prices are going down.

They have to say that on an earnings call because they have to be transparent and they have to warn in case they screw something else up.

They can blame it on Trump.

They did not say say they're raising prices, miss news, news person

that's irritating.

Yeah, he's not the best at this.

I mean, Rubio's the guy, but they won't bring anybody like Rubio on again.

They're not gonna bring on these guys who call out the post.

You're full of crap.

He's no good.

He's no good.

We can't have that.

We can't have Rubio.

I'm gonna show my support by donating to no agenda.

Imagine all the people who could do that.

Oh, yeah, that'd be fab.

Yeah,

on no agenda

in the morning.

Now, still to come, we have John's tip of the day.

We promise it will not be a repeat.

Neither you nor I caught that.

You had already done

the graphics viewer.

Did you get that email?

I had talked about it.

I said at the beginning of the,

here's what, if you play back the clip, at the very beginning, I said, I've talked about this product on the show before, but I hadn't given it as a clip because I did a search of noagendafun.com.

I did a complete search trying to find it as a tip, and I couldn't find it as a tip.

Was it a tip?

No, I had mentioned it a couple of times 10 years ago.

I think it was your first tip.

What's the thing called again?

Irfan View.

Earthan View.

I'm pretty sure you did give it as a tip.

It's not on the list that I could find, and I did a deep search.

A deep search.

And the guy himself, the guy who bitched and moaned.

And by the way, I'm going to stop doing these tips if everyone complains about him.

Oh.

So the guy says, oh, you said it before.

It's the third time you've mentioned it.

Rage quit.

He's rage quitting every time.

I'm going to rage quit.

Yeah, he's rage quitting.

Well, before you rage quit, would you mind, please, thanking everybody who supported us with $50 or more?

I can do that.

And I'll start with Richard J.

Lindequist, who came in with $105.35.

And he writes, great newsletter.

I look forward to hearing more about the resistance.

The resistance.

Kind of a funny bit that was in that last newsletter

about the resistance.

Yeah, very good.

Travis Sparks.

People should be.

I don't know why they don't, why everyone doesn't subscribe to the newsletter.

And people, like every newsletter that goes out, about five people quit.

They rage quit.

They do.

They rage quit the newsletter.

I don't know.

I don't want to read this.

I don't like the humor.

That's the prison that

prison cash thing about it, right?

The Folsom Prison Blues?

Yeah, that's where Charlie Manson was for a while.

When I visited it, Charlie Manson was there.

Didn't get to meet him.

No.

But it was kind of a creepy place, let me tell you.

Gabriel Adams,

I went there

when I was the editor of InfoWorld as a part for a story about tech, high-tech.

Tech in the prisons?

Yeah, tech.

Well, no, they're teaching prisoners how to code.

Was that an Obama program?

Learn to code in the prisons.

There's a bunch of, no, this is way before, this is before Obama.

And so it was during the Reagan administration.

So

I was told by, you know, once you get in, which is a pain in the ass to get into all the x-ray and everything, geez, it's terrible.

I felt probably had years worth of radiation.

And so you get in there, and the first thing they tell you, never ask any prisoner why they're here.

No,

no, no, no.

Just don't, don't do that.

That's rule number one.

No, no, don't do that.

It's amazing.

And these are your two holdovers from last show, I believe?

Yes, they are.

We're going to play them first or do you want to play them last?

I'll play them last.

Okay, I'll start with my first one.

Ooh, daddy got a microphone.

Okay.

Can't hear it.

there's some crazy people out there.

Hmm.

No, okay, got this one.

So good.

And I actually think I have a candidate with this one.

I am so impressed with how good that was.

Yeah, that's not too bad.

It's not too bad.

Okay.

I mean, it would in a pinch, it would do

in a pinch.

Well, here's which one do you want first?

The best monkey.

That was better than a bear fighting a monkey.

Okay.

And then the best.

Wow.

Best three hours you'll ever spend.

I like this one.

That was better than a bear fighting a monkey.

I have to say, there's something about that one that does it for me.

All right.

I'm in.

Now,

you know, I love you.

So you found Earth Fanview?

Yes, I did.

We're going back

1673, the 30th of June, 2021.

I can tell you, Airfanview probably has a plug-in for it, I'm sure.

It's the only system I found.

The tip of the day for it is called a PCI.

I wonder what that stands for, H-E-I-C.

Hold on.

Well, we can look it up.

Well, we can consult the book of knowledge.

No, why bother?

Irfanview is the tip of the day, everybody.

This has been your tip of the day.

Thanks for listening.

Y'all come back now, you hear?

Tip of the day.

It was a tip of the day.

We didn't have the jingle we have was a different jingle.

It was a tip of the day.

Your deep search.

If my deep search failed, then get rid of that deep search.

What show was it again?

I just clicked it away.

1674, I think.

Yeah.

Bingit.io, people.

Bingit.io.

Learn how to search on bingit.io.

It is awesome.

And now it is time for a brand new, fresh, funky, tasty tip of the day.

Great master, you and me.

Just the tip with JCD.

We're going to get back to the hot sauce category.

Okay, yes.

And this

now,

McElhaney, I think, is the company that

family,

the old man, I think recently died and it's taken over probably a few years back by the kids.

And they've been bringing out other products than Tabasco.

Tabasco sauce, which is one of the great sauces ever.

It's a great sauce.

When it comes to Tabau.

It's a great sauce.

You don't need a lot of it.

But they've been bringing all these experimental ones out, and I've been keeping track of most of them.

And I do use the green sauce that they have once in a while.

It's a very tasty sauce, not quite as good as Melinda's fire roasted, but it's good.

So I run into one.

I've never seen this one before.

I only found it in an obscure Mexican, of all places, a Mexican mercado, a Mexican sweet.

Mercado.

A mercado.

A mercado.

A big mercado.

But this has got to be, this is some serious.

In fact, they call it seriously extra hot.

You haven't done this one before as well?

How come I feel that I've heard of this one, too?

You've heard of other hot sauces, I guarantee you.

Look it up.

You got Binga.io.

So

this is a tip of the day that's better than the previous tip of the day.

No, all the tips are good.

Okay.

It's just a different tip.

The reason is because it comes in the regular Tabasco sauce bottle.

So it's got a black label.

So you'd think it might be Tabasco sauce.

It's made with scorpion,

scorpion peppers.

Sweet.

One of the hottest peppers in the world.

I don't know how they, where they make it.

If they manufacture it in the same plant they make Tabasco, it's hard to say.

I don't know if it's aged, but this is some seriously hot, and it's called seriously hot.

It's the kind of thing that you want to buy.

It's obscure, by the way.

It's hard to find.

At least I couldn't.

I just ran into it once, ever, in the wild.

And for your hot pepper loving friends and you've got one or two or if you're not yourself, I would recommend checking out a bottle of this.

It's not expensive.

It comes in a small little Tabasco sauce bottle.

It looks like Tabasco sauce, but it's not.

And

where is it manufactured?

Louisiana.

And they do it with actual scorpion pepper?

Yeah, and it looks to be 100% scorpion pepper.

And that is scorpion pepper is from grinding up scorpions?

Yeah, they make scorpion.

No, it's a pepper called scorpion pepper i'm sorry i thought i don't know i like i'm like oh i got a lot of scorpions here maybe i can make some pepper out of them they're not good for much it looks like a it looks like a scotch bonnet of some sort only it's got a little tail on it

uh i have never seen one a pepper a scorpion pepper actually seen one at for sale anywhere

uh

but i'm assuming they grow them somewhere interesting and they just i don't know what you know these are the kind of new things that they've been developing, these super hot peppers.

I'm not sure it's good for

the market, but

people like this stuff.

Yes, I'm willing to try it.

I'm a little bit of a pepper guy, a little bit of a hot sauce guy, not too much, but I'm looking forward to it.

And you, ladies and gentlemen, have just enjoyed another special edition of John C.

Dvorak's Tip of the Day.

Green Master, you and me, just the tip with JCD

and sometimes Adam.

Created by Dana Brunetti.

That's right, everybody.

And that's why you stick around, because you know that the tip of the day is well worth it.

Even if it's a repeat, it's still good.

And stop complaining, because otherwise John's going to rage quit the tip of the day.

And then what will we do?

You don't want to ruin it.

And Brunetti has been complaining about the tip of the day.

Twice at least.

He's a complainer.

He's a Hollywood guy, he's a complainer.

You're right.

He's a Hollywood guy.

They're all that way.

End of show mix is coming up from Hugh Allison, who's back.

I'm sure it'll show up in a best of one of these days.

And up next on the No Agenda stream, if you're listening in the troll room on your modern podcast app, it'll pop up automatically.

Airline pilot guy.

And this is the Arrested Landing episode.

That's a great show, actually.

It's fun to listen to.

Coming to you from the heart of the the Texas Hill Country here in Fredericksburg, home of the Fred Freakout.

In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're still wondering about the first name Keir.

I'm John C.

Dvorak.

We return on Thursday with more of your media deconstruction.

We're happy to do it.

It's a public service.

Remember us at noagendadonations.com.

Until Thursday, audio spo foss, a hooey-hooey, and such.

You've never seen anything like it.

You have Persian rugs?

Yeah, I have a couple.

Do you fly around on them?

Well, well, for one reason, I need I found a moth attack on one of my Persian rugs.

Oh,

pheromone moth attractant sticky pads.

F-H-E-E-R-M-O-N-E.

Okay.

Why would we want to have pheromone moth sticky pads?

So here's the deal: key to success with these items is they have to be fresh.

Fresh.

Persian rugs are a really good price nowadays, by the way.

Best price.

But do you have them on the floor or in your yeah, they're on the floor?

I get them all over the place.

Everybody in the family has a bunch of either Turkish or Persian rugs.

Interesting.

That's something I did not know about the Deborah clan.

I haven't.

So, uh, and they're not expensive anymore.

Do you fly around on them?

The media's beaten the slop.

It doesn't matter what topic's discussed.

Quality, entertainment, and information you can trust.

That's being planned, or at least discussed.

You know, we're not gonna be able to do that.

Olivia Chow is just a yokel.

So funny.

I read

everyone in Toronto and Mayor Chow.

CBP, hey, CBP, CBP, I never miss an episode.

Be the change you want to see, and you can run a node.

We could talk about Toronto for hours.

The city has fallen, I mean, harder than the Twin Towers.

Want to

be a city's fallen harder than the Twin Towers.

One percent of a Bitcoin, that's a million sats accumulating through cash back.

That's another hack.

Not your crypto, not your keys.

Not your crypto, not your keys.

CBP says that's a fact, that's a fact.

Two parts parts for the audio, listener, come on back.

Ready for the show,

here we go.

Ready for the show, here we go.

Shout out to the Discord chat, really starting to grow.

This, this, and new malinformation.

CBP members are increasing throughout the nation.

Voting in your self-interest, I agree.

Voting is one of the last things that will change, and that what counts.

That's just me.

That's just me.

Former FBI director James Comey is in hot water after a social media post.

Comey may soon be getting a visit from Secret Service agents who want to know more about a now deleted social media post.

Comey posted a photo showing a collection of seashells spelling out the numbers 86-47.

86-47.

47.

Merriam-Webster dictionary defining the term 86 to eject, dismiss, or remove someone.

Everybody knows what the term 86 means.

86 means to get rid of something.

86 informally means to get rid of.

he knew exactly what that meant a child knows what that meant if you're the fbi director and you don't know what that meant that meant assassination several officials from the trump administration say this is a call for violence against the president it's used in bars and restaurants to strike items from menus but others use it as slang for murder it is being used right now in left-wing circles and activist circles look his life literally was in danger last year so it is a problem.

The real question is whether this post is really significant of anything.

And do you think he did this seashells himself on the beach?

Because it's not even beach season right now.

Comey deleted the post and made another saying, I didn't realize some folks associate those numbers with violence.

It never occurred to me, but I oppose violence of any kind, so I took the post down.

Mofo.

Dvorak.org slash na.

That was better than a bear fighting a monkey.
