1758 - "Scream Circle"

Speaker 1 Go Boomers.

Speaker 2 Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak.

Speaker 3 It's Thursday, April 24th, 2025. This is your award-winning Give Onation Media Assassination episode 1758.

Speaker 7 This is No Agenda.

Speaker 4 Picking pokes and broadcasting live for over 17 years from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA, region number six.

Speaker 11 In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Speaker 14 And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we should be rolling out the No Agenda meme coin.

Speaker 16 I'm John C.

Speaker 17 Dvorak.

Speaker 18 It's Craig Bonnie Buzzkill.

Speaker 8 Here's the money.

Speaker 20 I was at a wedding last night, and people are asking me, like, what do you think of Trump's cryptocurrency?

Speaker 25 I'm like, do you really want me to get into this with you?

Speaker 26 His meme coin?

Speaker 10 Oh, man. So

Speaker 29 I'm at this wedding.

Speaker 30 This is...

Speaker 31 The former... Oh, this is the wedding you were at

Speaker 33 when Andrew tried to get hold of you.

Speaker 37 Yes, this is the former Kerrville Kerrville cop with anger management issues wedding.

Speaker 17 Oh, there's nothing like a cop with anger management issues.

Speaker 42 Well, especially since he's now the lieutenant for the sheriff's office of Gillespie County.

Speaker 46 Okay. Which is good.

Speaker 47 We like knowing our buddy Mike.

Speaker 48 Yeah, I would think so.

Speaker 50 You don't want to piss him off.

Speaker 54 So the whole, you know, there's, it must have been 10 sheriffs' deputies all in uniform.

Speaker 56 Half of them look like the mustache guy from the village people for some reason.

Speaker 36 It's like, do you know you look kind of like that gay guy from the village people?

Speaker 22 Did you say that to him?

Speaker 61 Yes, of course.

Speaker 19 They think it's funny. They think it's all hilarious.

Speaker 62 No good for them. They're good guys.

Speaker 63 Yeah, so Andrew calls me.

Speaker 26 I'm like, no, so I text him. I said, no, I'm at a wedding.

Speaker 47 And then I just decide I'm going to ghost him

Speaker 64 because he...

Speaker 65 Because he's now using it as engagement farming.

Speaker 52 He's all over X.

Speaker 72 Like, is there a feud what's going on what's happening oh what could be happening oh he hasn't texted me back i'm glad we can provide some promotion for dh umplugged i'm very i had i haven't had a chance to listen to the show did he bring it up on tuesday uh kind of yeah oh did he because he he did uh send me an email early in the week he was befuddled people are saying that we're in we're fighting is is everything okay i presume it's an inside joke right right right right come on right i'm like i think so i don't know maybe you should listen to our show.

Speaker 80 Well, until you listen to the show, you'll

Speaker 43 befuddled continually.

Speaker 36 Are we under martial law yet?

Speaker 26 Is the main question of the day?

Speaker 84 Oh, that was supposed to happen on Sunday.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 52 Right? Yeah.

Speaker 45 Guess not.

Speaker 36 Guess it hasn't happened.

Speaker 85 Yeah, and I haven't seen anybody posting about it why it hasn't happened.

Speaker 89 Because they have to have a new date.

Speaker 90 so there was it's been put off to some other date so

Speaker 91 so i make a joke about this at the wedding uh yesterday

Speaker 93 and uh

Speaker 62 joe was there uh laura logan's husband

Speaker 97 and apparently laura there no no she who knows she's doing a speech in atlanta on it she's all over the place And apparently, he had already told a few people a week ago, oh, yeah, martial law is coming.

Speaker 98 Was he a believer in this?

Speaker 22 I guess so, because other people said, Yeah, Joe, what happened to that?

Speaker 99 And I'm like, Joe, what?

Speaker 61 That's like a Libtard thing.

Speaker 100 No, no, no.

Speaker 101 He just wouldn't do it on Easter.

Speaker 36 Like, come on, man.

Speaker 62 What? Yes.

Speaker 61 It's crazy.

Speaker 47 That's all right. And then I hit him right back with this.

Speaker 46 Okay.

Speaker 19 You know, it'll all change when JFK Jr.

Speaker 103 is our vice president.

Speaker 46 It's I have a

Speaker 34 talking about screwball things. I have a a

Speaker 104 bet with my son.

Speaker 44 Okay.

Speaker 72 I may have brought this up, but I don't think I have.

Speaker 19 Okay. I'll remind you if you did.

Speaker 107 Yeah, I'm sure you will.

Speaker 108 He made a substantial bet.

Speaker 40 And I have to put this down.

Speaker 109 I have to get this in writing.

Speaker 104 I have to send some email back and forth because I do have one witness.

Speaker 112 And he's just adamant about it.

Speaker 113 Is this one not enough?

Speaker 64 Do you need more witnesses?

Speaker 22 Oh, no, wait.

Speaker 36 I think you have brought this up: that J.D.

Speaker 24 Vance will become president, and then Trump will be vice president.

Speaker 56 He'll quit, and then he'll become president.

Speaker 53 Exactly. Yeah.

Speaker 95 Yeah, and he's adamant about it. You told me that.

Speaker 1 We're all witnesses.

Speaker 97 You have a million witnesses.

Speaker 34 We've heard this.

Speaker 115 Yeah, I know, but it has to be.

Speaker 16 Yeah.

Speaker 116 What?

Speaker 104 And I can't refer to a podcast.

Speaker 72 I can't

Speaker 116 dig it up and I didn't make it not.

Speaker 118 How dare you denigrate the show?

Speaker 119 No, no, it's not that.

Speaker 90 It's that I have to keep track of the date of this podcast, then refer to it.

Speaker 36 Oh,

Speaker 36 you can get it on Bingit.

Speaker 40 I'm going to get something in an email, which I can't.

Speaker 53 You'll be able to go to bingit.io and send a direct link to the audio.

Speaker 123 We have the best resources for this.

Speaker 124 But that's the kind of thing that's very similar to, it reminds me of the idea that we're going to have martial law for whatever.

Speaker 115 And there's no reason for any of this.

Speaker 34 There's no reason to expect Trump to pull a stunt like that, which should irk everyone.

Speaker 126 Hey, all of that.

Speaker 127 There's no reason for him to pull a stunt like martial law.

Speaker 118 All of my screens here in the studio have identical breaking news!

Speaker 1 Trump on Ukraine war!

Speaker 68 We're getting close.

Speaker 36 We're getting closer.

Speaker 10 It's almost there.

Speaker 129 There's no closer.

Speaker 130 I actually have some.

Speaker 129 In fact, I think Russia bombed Kiev again this morning.

Speaker 112 Yeah, this is it.

Speaker 132 One of the worst attacks on Kiev since the start of the war.

Speaker 132 In an attack on the Ukrainian capital, Russia launched 215 missiles and drones overnight, according to the Ukrainian Air Air Force, causing the collapse of numerous residential buildings.

Speaker 132 Some residents, still in shock, were awakened by the explosions.

Speaker 133 I had time to get out when it exploded, and then there was nothing. The neighboring house was destroyed, and everything in our house flew away.
And I didn't see anything.

Speaker 137 I'm scared.

Speaker 132 Others had time to find refuge in bomb shelters.

Speaker 134 We were sleeping when we heard the first explosions. It was very strong.
The windows in our apartment were damaged. Kitchen Kitchen appliances flew off to countertop.

Speaker 135 But luckily, we are alive.

Speaker 132 Following the attack, the Ukrainian government denounced Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying he only has the desire to kill.

Speaker 132 President Zelensky said that Russia must stop strikes immediately and unconditionally. But after three years of fighting, some Ukrainians say they no longer believe that peace is possible.

Speaker 141 I honestly don't know how this will all end. It's very scary.
I don't believe it. I only believe that if we can stop them on the battlefield, that's it.
Diplomacy doesn't work here.

Speaker 141 You can see it from the news, from the dead.

Speaker 133 Attacks on Kyiv as well as Kharkiv resumed following a brief Easter truce.

Speaker 102 Yeah, you know, this looked pretty bad, I have to say, and I don't think there's been a bombing in Kiev that has been this bad.

Speaker 51 And I'll kind of work backwards in the timeline because before what happened last night, we had this.

Speaker 145 Tonight, President Trump lashing out at you crashing President Trump

Speaker 145 Linsky on social media, right?

Speaker 52 Is that not what we call hyperbole?

Speaker 33 Lashing out.

Speaker 115 That used to be the pet phrase of Amy Goodman.

Speaker 95 Lashing.

Speaker 145 Vladimir Zelensky on social media, writing, he can have peace or he can fight for another three years before losing the whole country. The man with no cards to play.

Speaker 66 Martha Radnitz.

Speaker 52 He sure is.

Speaker 57 Radick. Raddick.

Speaker 150 Is she still working? Raditz.

Speaker 151 Raditz.

Speaker 36 Well,

Speaker 50 I don't know why God is afraid of her.

Speaker 44 Radnicks.

Speaker 78 From now on, she is Martha Radnick.

Speaker 26 That's fine.

Speaker 154 We have pet names for people in the show. Yes, she's still working.

Speaker 145 No cards to play, should now finally get it done.

Speaker 51 I don't know if that was a quote or editorializing.

Speaker 145 Trump angered by Zelensky's refusal to accept a U.S.-proposed peace deal that would prohibit NATO membership for Ukraine and would include Ukraine giving up land that Russia has seized since its invasion.

Speaker 36 There it is.

Speaker 145 In addition to giving up Crimea.

Speaker 41 Zelensky saying

Speaker 35 there's nothing to talk about.

Speaker 145 It is our territory, the territory of the Ukrainian people. Vice President J.D.
Vance threatened to end the negotiations if Ukraine does not accept the U.S.

Speaker 145 proposal that calls for Ukraine to give up land to Russia.

Speaker 160 We've issued a very explicit proposal to both the Russians and the Ukrainians, and it's time for them to either say yes or for the United States to walk away from this process.

Speaker 97 And what's odd about this is just around this time, we got this news about President Putin.

Speaker 163 Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed for the first time in years a willingness to hold direct talks with Ukraine. This marks potential diplomatic movement as pressure mounts from the U.S.

Speaker 163 for both sides to reach a ceasefire deal. Speaking to Russian state media, Putin claimed Moscow was open to discussing the possibility of halting strikes on civilian infrastructure with Kyiv.

Speaker 163 Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has also signaled readiness for dialogue, proposing a 30-day ceasefire to end attacks on civilians.

Speaker 163 Though Russia has yet to accept the offer,

Speaker 163 as talks intensify, the U.S. has warned that it could withdraw its support for peace efforts if there's no visible progress.

Speaker 163 With negotiations set to continue in London this week, the coming days could determine whether renewed diplomacy finally leads to peace

Speaker 96 so it's interesting when you look at these four screens so i have fox msnbc cnn and the bbc the the white balance the color of the oval office is so different in each one

Speaker 168 it shouldn't be hell yeah so fox is very vibrant msnbc actually looks a little out of focus CNN looks somewhat washed out and the BBC the gold behind the president on the fireplace, is just beaming at me.

Speaker 170 It's interesting.

Speaker 66 That's being done on purpose.

Speaker 97 You got to think it.

Speaker 55 Or no, people just don't care anymore.

Speaker 171 Or maybe they just run AI over this stuff.

Speaker 19 White balance, schmite balance.

Speaker 53 Let the computer know.

Speaker 81 The idea that they don't care, they're careless or they're sloppy or they don't, you know, that is possible.

Speaker 149 Yeah.

Speaker 174 But I would get the impression that they're purposeful.

Speaker 125 Let's look at the purposeful.

Speaker 17 But then again, you know, it's you know, it's the falling off of quality of

Speaker 177 MSNBC and CNN over the years could be reflected in a lot of different ways.

Speaker 155 Yeah, it wouldn't surprise me.

Speaker 70 Wouldn't surprise me.

Speaker 179 I have

Speaker 127 the NTD version of the update between Russia and Ukraine.

Speaker 104 This is a Russia-Ukraine update.

Speaker 182 The president also talked about Russia and Ukraine today. Tell us the latest on that.
Sure.

Speaker 183 So inside the Oval Office, President Trump now said that he thinks Russia is ready to have a deal and that the US already had a deal with Russia, but it turns out that Ukraine is now the more difficult one to negotiate with.

Speaker 183 Watch.

Speaker 184 I think Russia is ready.

Speaker 185 And a lot of people said Russia wanted to go for the whole thing.

Speaker 186 And

Speaker 186 they've,

Speaker 184 I think we have a deal with Russia. We have to get a deal with Zelensky.
And I hope that Zelensky, I thought it might be easier to deal with Zelensky so far. It's been harder, but that's okay.

Speaker 186 It's all right.

Speaker 184 But I think we have a deal with both. I hope they do it because I'm looking to save.
And you know, we spend a lot of money, but this is about a lot of humanity.

Speaker 183 Meanwhile, in the True Social Post this afternoon, President Trump criticized Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky for making it more difficult to settle the war by saying that Ukraine won't recognize Russia's claim of Crimea, which happened back in 2014.

Speaker 183 Amino Zelensky responded later by pointing to a 2018 statement during the first Trump term, saying that the U.S. will never recognize

Speaker 183 Russian sovereignty over Crimea. I mean, while Vice President J.D.
Vance today is saying that if Russia and Ukraine don't strike a deal, the U.S. would well just walk away.
And meanwhile, the U.S.

Speaker 183 is focused on talking with Russia this week with Trump Special Envoy Steve Wyckoff in Russia this week to talk to Russian President Vladimir Putin for the fourth time.

Speaker 46 You know, the problem problem with all of this, let's say we get a

Speaker 44 truce,

Speaker 36 end of the war.

Speaker 46 There are so many weapons

Speaker 113 that have now been funneled from Ukraine into Europe.

Speaker 75 I mean, it's undeniable.

Speaker 168 And we're talking

Speaker 53 assault rifles, grenade launchers, anti-tank weapons.

Speaker 152 Where would it be going to Europe and not Africa?

Speaker 51 Well, I would say they'd be funneled through Europe, but think about the people who are in Europe, the people who have been let in.

Speaker 118 Oh, you think there could be a

Speaker 192 fifth column? Yeah.

Speaker 22 Well,

Speaker 19 fifth column.

Speaker 194 I mean, just nut jobs, nut jobs throughout Europe.

Speaker 22 We kind of saw this after

Speaker 60 what was it?

Speaker 62 What was the Yugoslav wars, the 90s?

Speaker 196 Lots of weapons throughout Europe, and we had gangs using them, terrorist attacks.

Speaker 78 And now we've got all kinds of crazy people in Europe.

Speaker 56 I mean, the war could be going to the streets.

Speaker 130 I think Europe may not be realizing what could possibly happen

Speaker 95 if this.

Speaker 107 Well, that's kind of a grim view of things.

Speaker 102 Well, I have a kid there, you know, so I think about these things.

Speaker 79 Yeah, yeah, it is grim, but,

Speaker 46 you know, weapons have a weird way of going the other direction.

Speaker 74 It's not that hard.

Speaker 95 So, I don't know.

Speaker 199 I don't know.

Speaker 99 We'll see.

Speaker 39 I mean, the demilitarized zone is what it would have to be.

Speaker 196 You keep Crimea.

Speaker 26 You got a DMZ,

Speaker 29 and it's the end of it.

Speaker 106 Yeah, well, they can't seem to get this to happen.

Speaker 36 Well, because they like the war.

Speaker 200 The European leadership likes it.

Speaker 63 They're all in.

Speaker 26 They can't turn back their financing and all these.

Speaker 16 They have probably, there has to be something behind Zelensky's reluctance.

Speaker 106 Besides, it's just pig-headedness.

Speaker 177 It's got to be the Europeans telling him, don't worry about it.

Speaker 116 We'll back you up.

Speaker 201 Yeah, we'll put you in the EU.

Speaker 67 You'll become a part of Europe.

Speaker 38 We promise.

Speaker 202 Pinky swear. Come on.

Speaker 26 Come on. Just keep going.
Keep going. Don't stop.

Speaker 169 Here's your script. Yeah.

Speaker 22 I would think so.

Speaker 97 I would think so.

Speaker 170 Anyway, happy news, everybody.

Speaker 166 Happy days, good times.

Speaker 203 It's all fantastic.

Speaker 197 I got a couple of clips on Elon Musk quitting.

Speaker 29 Now, is it quitting or is he

Speaker 96 going to reduce his involvement?

Speaker 33 I think he's not quitting or reducing.

Speaker 40 I think he's just saying all this.

Speaker 76 You don't even think it's true at all.

Speaker 55 He said there's no pullback.

Speaker 40 He's got his team in place.

Speaker 173 He he likes to be in the uh in the no

Speaker 53 well not not that but it's within the power structure he should take a sabbatical or say he's taking time to focus on his multiple families

Speaker 16 he should you're right i think he's trying to do that but he's doing it in a funny way i've got some clips from npr

Speaker 121 which will have a slant to them and so this is musk out

Speaker 205 okay

Speaker 206 elon musk says he'll pull back from his work in the trump administration to focus on running his electric car business, Tesla.

Speaker 206 For the last few months, Musk has had massive access and power within the White House.

Speaker 206 NPR's Danielle Kurtz Laban reports on the relationship that was mutually beneficial until things got complicated.

Speaker 207 On election night, Donald Trump gave special attention to one of his biggest supporters.

Speaker 208 Oh,

Speaker 209 let me tell you, we have a new star.

Speaker 210 A star is born, Elon.

Speaker 207 Their political courtship was only a few months old. Musk endorsed Trump shortly after the July assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 207 Musk later explained his attraction at another Trump rally in Butler in October.

Speaker 212 We had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs

Speaker 209 and another who was fist pumping after getting shot.

Speaker 207 Musk would go on to spend a quarter of a billion dollars supporting Trump and other Republicans in the 2024 election.

Speaker 207 By the time Musk took the stage at Trump's October Madison Square Garden rally, Trump had already said Musk would lead a project they called the Department of Government Efficiency, or Doge.

Speaker 207 Howard Luttnick, who is now Commerce Secretary, introduced Musk.

Speaker 216 How much do you think we can rip out of this wasted $6.5 trillion

Speaker 216 Harris Biden budget?

Speaker 209 Well, I think we can do at least $2 trillion.

Speaker 208 Yeah!

Speaker 207 Musk brought a chaotic, chaotic, chaotic energy to his new political role. He grabbed headlines when he twice made a straight-armed gesture that resembled a Nazi salute at Trump's inauguration.

Speaker 207 Musk denied that, then joked about it on social media. Once Trump took office, Musk was everywhere.

Speaker 102 I keep getting notes from the EU, from the European countries, mainly the Netherlands, who correct me on Teslas.

Speaker 43 Say, no, no, no, no, no, you're wrong.

Speaker 198 The reason some people are

Speaker 76 not buying Teslas or renouncing their ownership is because of the Nazi salute and his support of AFD.

Speaker 38 They truly think he's a Nazi.

Speaker 12 Yes, I believe this to be true.

Speaker 115 I've noticed this following some of the foreign news coverage.

Speaker 106 There is this strong belief that he's, and you see it on even on late-night comedy shows, this

Speaker 173 not he's a Nazi, period.

Speaker 17 It's just not even, it's not even an issue.

Speaker 81 It's not even a question.

Speaker 53 It's obvious.

Speaker 219 Yeah, he did this, and that's what you do as a Nazis.

Speaker 13 I mean, that's what Nazis

Speaker 22 It's like

Speaker 52 it's delusional.

Speaker 164 Do you think? It's truly.

Speaker 19 But it's concerning.

Speaker 76 It's concerning that people, you know, that the machine is so strong that people actually believe this, whether they've even seen it or not. Or they've maybe seen a picture somewhere.

Speaker 171 They hear people talking about it.

Speaker 174 I've got a shot of him giving this, you know, doing his salute.

Speaker 48 I mean, Waltz did the exact same thing.

Speaker 118 No, I mean, I know, we know that.

Speaker 169 Everyone who's listening to the show knows that.

Speaker 165 But that doesn't matter. The fact that you can still launch that into

Speaker 170 the media, into the universe, really, into the ether.

Speaker 143 Let's put it that way.

Speaker 224 You can launch that into the ether and people just go, oh, yeah.

Speaker 158 And make it stick.

Speaker 59 And it sticks, yeah.

Speaker 1 I mean,

Speaker 221 we all should be very worried about that.

Speaker 79 That is, yeah,

Speaker 96 it's a phenom for sure.

Speaker 85 Yeah, and it's amazing.

Speaker 121 And that's why we have to, it has to be fought. But

Speaker 43 it's a hopeless battle.

Speaker 65 That's why you listen to the No Agenda Show because it makes you smarter.

Speaker 118 It also makes you more attractive.

Speaker 226 It makes you more attractive to the opposite sex and the hit of every party.

Speaker 228 It does.

Speaker 14 Thank you, Derek.

Speaker 48 So they continue with this.

Speaker 175 This is more, and as you listen to this, this is kind of like an eulogy.

Speaker 164 They talk about the entire Musk story.

Speaker 108 It's more like a movie.

Speaker 229 Oh, are they sad he's going?

Speaker 55 Is that what's happening?

Speaker 18 They're like, oh, well.

Speaker 230 I can't say that's the case.

Speaker 108 It's just like they're rapping it.

Speaker 43 It's like a rap.

Speaker 66 Maybe

Speaker 66 Musk wrap.

Speaker 46 Ooh. Maybe they musk wrap.

Speaker 125 I like that.

Speaker 39 Maybe it's because they had all the packages and the scripts written when they told everybody that

Speaker 196 they were going to break up months ago.

Speaker 46 And they're just like, oh, we still got this stuff on the shelf.

Speaker 201 Should we use it now, Both?

Speaker 121 That's always possible. I don't think NPR is that into having these, because that's TV stuff because that takes more work.

Speaker 98 But it's possible. Here we go.

Speaker 207 Riding on Air Force One and taking questions with the president in the Oval Office, once with his four-year-old son in tow.

Speaker 207 Trump was generous with Musk, constantly praising him and letting him speak at length, even at cabinet meetings. At the first one, Trump jokingly chided Musk at one point.

Speaker 210 Let the

Speaker 207 At Doge, Musk had almost unrestricted ability to look at the details of agencies that oversaw his businesses, companies that do a lot of work for the federal government.

Speaker 207 He gleefully set to work reshaping the bureaucracy he railed against as a businessman,

Speaker 207 even brandishing a chainsaw on stage at a conservative conference earlier this year.

Speaker 208 This is the chainsaw for bureaucracy.

Speaker 46 A little bit out of context, but okay.

Speaker 214 Chainsaw!

Speaker 207 Under Musk, Doge has effectively dismantled some agencies and left others reeling.

Speaker 233 He must have had the MMR jab as a kid.

Speaker 234 There's no doubt about it.

Speaker 46 Musk is so on the spectrum, it's not funny anymore.

Speaker 207 Under Musk, Doge has effectively dismantled some agencies and left others reeling after slashing tens of thousands of jobs. But big savings have been hard to find.

Speaker 207 On the campaign trail, Musk had said he was shooting for $2 trillion.

Speaker 207 But by a cabinet meeting earlier this month, the goal was much smaller.

Speaker 209 I'm excited to announce that we anticipate savings in FY26 from reduction of waste and fraud by $150 billion.

Speaker 207 Courts have halted many of Doge's actions, including attempts to obtain access to sensitive data.

Speaker 207 By spring, Trump was saying that cabinet members would be taking more of the lead in making decisions about their agencies.

Speaker 210 Hundreds of billions of dollars of waste and fraud and abuse has been found, already found.

Speaker 210 And that doesn't mean they don't have a little bit of an argument argument here and there about something or maybe personnel arguments.

Speaker 207 There were also signs that Musk was becoming a political liability. He spent and campaigned heavily for the conservative in a Wisconsin Supreme Court election in April, who then lost.

Speaker 235 You know, the conservative television and radio media, they don't really cop to the fact that it's $150 billion, significantly less than what was promised.

Speaker 105 Well, there's an assumption that it's going to continue and grow.

Speaker 16 $150 billion isn't chicken feed.

Speaker 77 No, this is what we gave to Ukraine.

Speaker 101 We guess. We don't even know that.

Speaker 189 We don't know anything.

Speaker 23 We know anything about the numbers.

Speaker 33 No, we don't know anything.

Speaker 91 We know nothing.

Speaker 156 It's just numbers that people throw out there.

Speaker 236 Who knows?

Speaker 144 Who knows?

Speaker 62 But, you know,

Speaker 126 you left 80 billion plus in gear in Afghanistan that could have been retrieved.

Speaker 48 That's 80 billion.

Speaker 125 Well, there you go. Here you go.
Here's the business. But you see,

Speaker 235 I'm not looking at the actual value.

Speaker 1 It's the marketing numbers. The marketing numbers, a billion dollars is nothing these days.

Speaker 19 We didn't even know what came after a million when I was a kid.

Speaker 36 What comes after a million?

Speaker 18 I don't know.

Speaker 19 We had no idea.

Speaker 169 With all of our devaluation of currency through printing, now

Speaker 19 the billionaire is the new millionaire.

Speaker 36 And we don't even think about what that means anymore.

Speaker 19 If you went on the street and you said, how many millions is a billion?

Speaker 165 I don't think people even know.

Speaker 170 Oh, they didn't know.

Speaker 156 So they've come up with 5% of their proposed savings.

Speaker 28 That's not impressive.

Speaker 19 It's a lot of money, but it's not impressive.

Speaker 195 And they're not saying more to come.

Speaker 76 So marketing-wise, I think it's kind of a flop.

Speaker 110 They are saying more to come.

Speaker 104 It's that these reports aren't saying more to come.

Speaker 46 They're also saying he's not Hitler, but the reports say he is.

Speaker 169 So I'm just looking at perception of the media.

Speaker 125 Well, let's wrap it with the third clip.

Speaker 207 Meanwhile, widespread Tesla takedown protests were happening at dealerships nationwide.

Speaker 207 Musk openly disagreed with Trump's tariff policy, at one point calling trade advisor Peter Navarro dumber than a sack of bricks. Musk's job at Doge was always supposed to be a temporary assignment.

Speaker 207 Recently, Trump has been vague about Musk's future, but complimentary as always.

Speaker 210 Well, I think he's amazing, but I also think he's got a big company company to run. And so at some point, he's going to be going back.
He wants to.

Speaker 209 Would you want to keep him running?

Speaker 210 I want to keep him as long as I can keep him. He's a very talented guy.

Speaker 207 This week, Tesla reported dismal earnings, and Musk announced to shareholders that he would be pairing back his role at Doge.

Speaker 207 The White House has not responded to NPR's questions about how much Musk will be scaling back.

Speaker 36 I do have,

Speaker 36 I think, a Franz van Cantra clip that includes some of the

Speaker 62 quarterly quarterly call.

Speaker 130 That's the one where everybody typically calls up and says, great queue, guys, really good.

Speaker 76 Not so in this case.

Speaker 137 It hasn't been a great year for Tesla, the U.S. automaker headed by billionaire Elon Musk.

Speaker 137 For months, protesters have been vandalizing Tesla cars and showrooms, upset at Musk spearheading mass layoffs at major government agencies.

Speaker 41 Now, if we were running France 24,

Speaker 76 this guy auditioned, would you say, yeah, that's a go for on-air voice?

Speaker 87 Play it again.

Speaker 137 Through his work at Doge, it's been so bad that President Donald Trump has threatened to imprison the protesters in El Salvador.

Speaker 51 I'd be like, no, pass.

Speaker 107 I think it'd be more for some gay channels.

Speaker 137 Deliveries of Tesla's aging lineup of cars have nosedived, and Tesla's profits have been hollowed out. Tesla's net income has fallen 71% from the same time last year.

Speaker 137 Investors have sold off the company's stock at a rapid pace, causing its price to drop by about half since December.

Speaker 137 Nonetheless, on an earnings phone call with analysts on Tuesday, Musk defended his work with the Trump administration.

Speaker 240 There's been some blowback for the time that I've been spending in government with the Department of Government Efficiency or Doge.

Speaker 240 I believe the right thing to do is to justify the waste report and get the country back on the right track and working together with President Trump and his administration.

Speaker 240 Because if the Ship of America goes down, we all go down with it, including Tesla and everyone else.

Speaker 137 Yielding to investors' worries, Musk said that next month he will begin allocating more time to Tesla and cut back his time at Doge.

Speaker 137 He returns as the company faces difficulties from Trump-imposed tariffs. Tesla paused imports of some China-sourced components after U.S.
tariffs on the Asian country rose to 145%.

Speaker 137 China has responded with tariffs of its own, leading Tesla to suspend some orders in the country.

Speaker 39 I was watching a report on BYD at the Shanghai Auto Show.

Speaker 241 They launched the new models. Oh, man.

Speaker 77 Those are gorgeous.

Speaker 111 I know.

Speaker 197 They're really like cool-looking cars.

Speaker 46 I mean, I still would not want a battery car, but they're cool-looking cars.

Speaker 38 And then you look at the Tesla, it's like, well,

Speaker 71 it feels kind of 2010-ish.

Speaker 48 It's old-fashioned-looking.

Speaker 241 Yeah.

Speaker 32 Yeah, that's his.

Speaker 175 It was good-looking when it came out.

Speaker 51 Well, he had that designer guy, right?

Speaker 124 He had the OG designer.

Speaker 106 He had some designer that did a

Speaker 72 they've been kind of like

Speaker 126 that guy wasn't around anymore, and everything's gotten a stale look.

Speaker 51 After the S. After the S, it's the S was the good-looking one.

Speaker 39 Wasn't that the guy who designed the car that kept catching on fire?

Speaker 217 Remember that one?

Speaker 62 Fisker. Fisker.

Speaker 27 Fisker.

Speaker 237 He's just driving five feet.

Speaker 52 Catches on fire.

Speaker 92 You know, I thought it was, but it turns out I don't know if it was or not.

Speaker 110 I had some, I wrote something up about the designer, and then I got people sending, no, you got the wrong guy.

Speaker 192 So I don't know what the story is

Speaker 178 with any accuracy on who designed the original S.

Speaker 83 But that guy's not there.

Speaker 203 Whoever it was, he's not there.

Speaker 72 He's not there.

Speaker 50 That's the point.

Speaker 73 Yes.

Speaker 95 I do have a related clip, which is from Al Gore,

Speaker 151 who had this very.

Speaker 242 Oh, I'm glad you got the Al Gore stuff.

Speaker 16 He gave the speech.

Speaker 34 Yes.

Speaker 243 And by the way, I did mention the newsletter.

Speaker 126 We missed again

Speaker 218 for the 15th 15th year in a row.

Speaker 18 Earth Day.

Speaker 8 How do you know?

Speaker 149 You missed your annual Earth Day promotion.

Speaker 97 Yes.

Speaker 195 Shame on you.

Speaker 36 I saw the local news doing a thing about Earth Dale cocktails, Earth Day cocktails.

Speaker 111 Yeah, what's that?

Speaker 36 Dirt in a jar? No, it's just alcohol.

Speaker 226 You cut up the lime.

Speaker 244 so you can make it look like the continents and then you drink it on earth day i'm like what is this not they don't even have anything

Speaker 170 anything to say about it.

Speaker 162 It's

Speaker 36 so deluded.

Speaker 53 Who even organizes Earth Day?

Speaker 36 Do we even know?

Speaker 122 Who's in charge of this?

Speaker 168 Hold on a sec. I think whoever designed it.

Speaker 17 I think, didn't this start in the 70s?

Speaker 53 Let's see.

Speaker 51 Here, Earthday.org, the official site.

Speaker 235 I'm being verified by Cloudflare.

Speaker 19 They don't think I'm a human.

Speaker 93 Ah,

Speaker 36 I've been approved.

Speaker 46 You've been kicked.

Speaker 162 Here we go. About us.

Speaker 43 Aboot. Aboot us.

Speaker 60 Aboot. Aboot.

Speaker 58 Let's see. Our vision.

Speaker 59 No, it doesn't say anything.

Speaker 123 Oh, board of directors.

Speaker 18 Oh, a bunch of ugly people.

Speaker 60 Let me see about.

Speaker 46 Oh, they have their history.

Speaker 123 What's their history then?

Speaker 74 Yes.

Speaker 195 Every year on April 22nd, Earth Day marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970.

Speaker 43 You are right.

Speaker 44 You are right.

Speaker 128 The stage was set for change.

Speaker 72 The environmental movement did not begin in 1970.

Speaker 44 Well, but here it is.

Speaker 24 The stage was set for change with the publication of Rachel Carson's New York Times bestseller, Silent Spring, in 1962.

Speaker 108 Well, they're a little eight years later, is what they're saying.

Speaker 105 Yeah.

Speaker 41 Senator Gaylord Nelson.

Speaker 33 Silent Spring was a massive bestseller.

Speaker 53 Yeah. Did you read it?

Speaker 36 Yeah. What was it about?

Speaker 126 It was about how we're going to all die.

Speaker 64 Oh,

Speaker 91 an uplifting book.

Speaker 118 anyway from so pesticides and

Speaker 48 oh yeah and acid rain no that came later no that's later yeah uh we had acid rain we had the ozone hole i remember as a kid we had the ozone the ozone layer that was in the the hole the hole in the ozone layer that was in the 70s we'd be looking up like where is it how come i can't see it how do i see the it's because of your washing machine

Speaker 228 um so yeah so here's it was the it was freon it was the refrigerator that was causing the refrigerator okay

Speaker 75 yeah another good one.

Speaker 57 Freon. Yeah, Freon.

Speaker 56 But then they came up with something else.

Speaker 46 It doesn't use Freon.

Speaker 38 And that was hairspray.

Speaker 116 Yeah, it's more toxic, but it doesn't put a hole in the frequency.

Speaker 107 And then there was hairspray.

Speaker 103 Hairspray was doing it. Hairspray bad.

Speaker 76 I personally am responsible for a lot of

Speaker 169 things in the environment during the 80s and 90s.

Speaker 52 So Al Gore does this very interesting thing.

Speaker 91 He says, I don't like calling people Hitler, but, you know, these guys are Hitler.

Speaker 246 I want to note that before I guess disagree when it's not a precedent, I I understand very well why it is wrong to compare Adolf Hitler's Third Reich to any other movement.

Speaker 246 It was uniquely evil, full stop. I get it.

Speaker 246 But there are important lessons from the history of that emergent evil, and here is one that I regard as essential.

Speaker 246 In the immediate aftermath of World War II,

Speaker 246 a small group of philosophers who had escaped Hitler's murderous regime returned to Germany and performed a kind of moral autopsy on the Third Reich.

Speaker 246 The most famous of the so-called Frankfurt Stool of Philosophers was a man named Jürgen Habermas,

Speaker 246 best known, I would say.

Speaker 246 But it was Habermas.

Speaker 247 Do you know who that guy was?

Speaker 36 Jurden Habermas? What's his name? No.

Speaker 16 I know about the Frankfurt School, but I don't know specific guys.

Speaker 246 Okay. Famous of the so-called Frankfurt Stool of Philosophers was a man named Jürgen Habermas.

Speaker 246 Best known, I would say. But it was Habermas's mentor, Theodore Adorno.

Speaker 189 Do we know him? Yeah,

Speaker 248 yes,

Speaker 131 he wrote a book called The Authoritarian Personality.

Speaker 12 Oh, okay.

Speaker 104 Very famous guy.

Speaker 36 Oh, thank you.

Speaker 246 Who wrote that the first step in that nation's descent into hell was, and I quote,

Speaker 246 the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power.

Speaker 62 Oh,

Speaker 62 okay.

Speaker 76 All questions of truth, conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power.

Speaker 236 So let's see.

Speaker 19 How is he going to spin this to Trump?

Speaker 17 How is he going to spin this?

Speaker 246 He described how the Nazis, and I quote again, attacked the very heart of the distinction between true and false. End quote.

Speaker 144 Ah, we're going to do some lies.

Speaker 246 The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.

Speaker 246 They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of the other way around.

Speaker 30 Never said that.

Speaker 143 I don't think they ever said that.

Speaker 77 They said they provoked.

Speaker 117 No, this is a creation.

Speaker 249 See, what he's going to do is lie.

Speaker 14 He's the liar.

Speaker 2 He's the liar.

Speaker 64 Yes.

Speaker 16 But that's what you take the examples, you create a methodology, you show that the other side's bad, and then

Speaker 20 you use those techniques against the audience.

Speaker 121 This is really good.

Speaker 62 He's good at it.

Speaker 246 On trying to create their own preferred version of reality.

Speaker 246 They say Ukraine attacked Russia instead of the other way around.

Speaker 246 And expect us to believe it.

Speaker 246 At home, they attack heroes who have defended our nation in war and against cyber attacks as traitors.

Speaker 162 Well, he's talking about the

Speaker 30 veterans.

Speaker 169 Remember, he said they're losers because they, you know, John McCain.

Speaker 221 Oh, the Netherlands.

Speaker 52 Yeah. Losers.

Speaker 48 Losers, suckers, and losers. Suckers and losers.

Speaker 74 Yeah, it's the suckers and losers.

Speaker 246 They say the climate crisis is a hoax.

Speaker 36 Well, yeah.

Speaker 53 Okay.

Speaker 189 I'll give you that one.

Speaker 246 Invented by the Chinese to destroy American manufacturing.

Speaker 36 A little laugh tell there.

Speaker 22 Invented by the Chinese.

Speaker 57 No, invented by you.

Speaker 74 That's why he's laughing.

Speaker 219 They say it's the Chinese.

Speaker 22 It wasn't me.

Speaker 72 They don't know anything.

Speaker 230 I'm the one who did that.

Speaker 52 I am the one who did that.

Speaker 246 They say coal is clean.

Speaker 217 No.

Speaker 49 What did he say?

Speaker 68 What was that one? They say coal is clean.

Speaker 153 No, they're talking about clean coal.

Speaker 46 Yeah, clean coal.

Speaker 29 Which is marketing, agreed, but it is much cleaner than it used to be.

Speaker 14 So heat changes.

Speaker 36 Well, the coal is the

Speaker 119 coal is coal.

Speaker 36 The problem is coal is coal.

Speaker 15 It doesn't change.

Speaker 242 It doesn't, you know, lignite, which is the good coal, which is pretty clean, doesn't change over the eons.

Speaker 250 It's the same damn stuff, except that the methodology, the floating bed burners and all the rest of it that create coal power,

Speaker 40 Coal power energy has improved over the years with scrubbers on the one end and the floating bed on the other, and you get a pretty good burn job without it being a mess.

Speaker 40 So that's what they're referring to when they say clean coal.

Speaker 190 But he takes the president's.

Speaker 61 He's a liar.

Speaker 198 Well, he takes the president's words literally by saying, you know, because he said, clean, beautiful coal.

Speaker 151 So, but yeah, okay, I guess.

Speaker 246 They say coal is clean. They say wind turbines cause cancer.
They say sea level rises.

Speaker 115 That's never happened either.

Speaker 66 I don't think anyone is.

Speaker 129 Who said do wind turbines cause cancer?

Speaker 97 The president may have alluded to it.

Speaker 72 No, he made some joke about it.

Speaker 169 About Martha, I can't watch the TV.

Speaker 101 But

Speaker 96 people have definitely claimed to become sick from the sound of wind turbines, and there have been higher instances of cancer near wind farms.

Speaker 51 But, you know, we still don't know what is causing all of this cancer everywhere.

Speaker 107 We have no no idea.

Speaker 43 What could it be?

Speaker 247 So, you know, anyway.

Speaker 246 They say wind turbines cause cancer. They say sea level rise just creates more beachfront property.

Speaker 247 Well, yeah.

Speaker 120 Nobody says this.

Speaker 253 No, he did.

Speaker 51 The joke was,

Speaker 194 if the sea level rises, then I'll just, it's what I always say.

Speaker 159 If we're really going to have sea level rise, I'll have beachfront property in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 74 That's the joke.

Speaker 108 I'll have it right here for sure.

Speaker 36 Yes, so it's a joke, but okay, I guess he takes it seriously.

Speaker 246 Their allies in the oligarchic backlash to climate action argue that those who want to stop using the sky as an open sewer, for God's sake, the sky as an open sewer, now there's a lie need to be more realistic and acquiesce to the huge increases in the burning of more and more fossil fuels, which is what they're pushing,

Speaker 246 even though that is the principal cause of the climate crisis.

Speaker 247 Oh,

Speaker 195 yeah, there you go.

Speaker 99 You know, actually,

Speaker 76 so the oil and gas gas guys are busy.

Speaker 23 They are very busy.

Speaker 74 Because all this nuclear talk, all this talk about, you know, small, I mean, even at the wedding last night.

Speaker 46 By the way, who gets married on a Wednesday night? I'm sorry, what?

Speaker 19 Who gets married on a Wednesday night?

Speaker 46 Wednesday night's a weird.

Speaker 34 That's what Horowitz is asking everybody.

Speaker 81 Yes.

Speaker 63 Well,

Speaker 128 he's just a sheriff's lieutenant.

Speaker 19 He doesn't have a lot of money.

Speaker 169 So I think that's it.

Speaker 87 Oh, Wednesday, discount night for marriage.

Speaker 46 Yes, his discount night.

Speaker 19 They asked for money for their honeymoon instead of gifts, which I'm cool with.

Speaker 18 Did they?

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 52 That's cool. I get it.

Speaker 112 He's the police department. They make money, but they can be a lot of money.

Speaker 36 He doesn't make a lot of money.

Speaker 55 And for getting shot at.

Speaker 75 No, he doesn't make a lot of money. No, not for getting shot.

Speaker 106 We're dealing with the public.

Speaker 19 He runs the SWAT team and everything.

Speaker 36 He's a cool dude.

Speaker 47 He's a good guy to have on speed dial. Let me tell you that.

Speaker 203 He's the guy you want as a friend.

Speaker 1 Anyway,

Speaker 221 so all this talk.

Speaker 52 Who do we have a SWAT team there for?

Speaker 36 It's Fredericksburg, man.

Speaker 128 We got MS-13.

Speaker 74 We got Trende Aragua here.

Speaker 164 Like one guy?

Speaker 159 According to Laura Logos.

Speaker 172 He's like a Lyft Uber driver.

Speaker 149 He does both.

Speaker 22 No, no, no. They just live here.

Speaker 10 You see, they don't cause trouble here.

Speaker 36 They just live here.

Speaker 143 We got this all last night from Joe in the car.

Speaker 51 It's Trende Aragua's everywhere.

Speaker 100 They're here.

Speaker 57 They're right here in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 36 They just live here.

Speaker 43 Oh, okay. Well, I feel feel good about that then.

Speaker 26 Anyway, all this talk about data centers going on nuclear,

Speaker 93 you know, the Three Mile Island being

Speaker 201 part of it being fired up again.

Speaker 38 Nuclear, nuclear, nuclear.

Speaker 22 Bill Gates, everybody, nuclear.

Speaker 200 We can't have this.

Speaker 68 Let's call CBS.

Speaker 53 Hello, CBS.

Speaker 22 We'd like to do a buy. Yeah, we'll do triple the rate.

Speaker 90 So we do 360s.

Speaker 223 And could you make it into a package?

Speaker 125 Why, sure.

Speaker 253 Just 15 miles away from St. Louis's Gateway Arch, nuclear waste waste was stored for decades.

Speaker 257 It was all top secret.

Speaker 253 Linda Maurice lived near Coldwater Creek for 18 years. The waterway ran right by the storage site.

Speaker 142 There was a deposit site where the processes and waste

Speaker 142 of the Manhattan Project had been...

Speaker 27 What?

Speaker 57 The Manhattan Project?

Speaker 22 Was that a nuclear project?

Speaker 164 Are you kidding me?

Speaker 46 Well, I mean, the nuclear bomb, but

Speaker 90 they tested it with waste on the ground?

Speaker 33 I have no idea what she's talking about.

Speaker 219 I mean,

Speaker 74 wasn't that in the desert somewhere?

Speaker 17 It was in New Mexico.

Speaker 168 Yeah.

Speaker 142 Where the processes and waste of the Manhattan Project had been

Speaker 142 stored, that is to say, dumped in the open or put in barrels that rested.

Speaker 253 Eventually, Linda's mother, father, and brother would all die of lymphoma.

Speaker 2 I think there are people to this day who don't know the story.

Speaker 253 It wasn't until 1989, 43 years after the waste was first dumped, that the Environmental Protection Agency classified the area as hazardous.

Speaker 253 They said it was dangerously contaminated and ordered a government cleanup. But by that time, more than 60,000 people lived within just one mile of the creek, including Kristen Camuso.

Speaker 264 I had to have a total hysterectomy. I've been diagnosed with thyroid thyroid cancer.
They found a new tumor on my remaining adrenal gland.

Speaker 195 And this is horrible fear-mongering the way I see it.

Speaker 50 No, where was this?

Speaker 27 Where was this?

Speaker 36 Pennsylvania.

Speaker 40 Why would they move it from all the way from New Mexico to Pennsylvania?

Speaker 175 When they have New Mexico and Arizona and Nevada,

Speaker 192 Nevada.

Speaker 172 Nevada.

Speaker 152 Yeah, tell me.

Speaker 17 Nevada, they're loaded with deserts that could be used, dug, holes can be dug, stuff can be tossed in there with nobody nearby.

Speaker 40 It makes no sense to me.

Speaker 143 Well, the tell here is the Manhattan Project.

Speaker 51 I mean, do you get nuclear waste before

Speaker 224 the fusion is before the

Speaker 156 atoms have clashed

Speaker 94 and the heat is generated?

Speaker 17 Well,

Speaker 17 they had to do some

Speaker 104 extraction, I suppose, in the process.

Speaker 46 It's possible.

Speaker 253 Camuso is a policy director for the Missouri Coalition for the Environment. She's been pushing for the remaining waste to be removed for more than 12 years.

Speaker 264 I was quite literally laying in my hospital bed, and I promised myself

Speaker 115 another good reason to pay attention to the tips of the day on the No Agenda Show, and you would buy a Geiger.

Speaker 33 And you would know what's going on.

Speaker 43 Anyway, I'm just going to talk about it. Well, no,

Speaker 102 now you've made me stop for a second because I was going to talk about this later, but something very concerning has taken place.

Speaker 70 Let me see if I can find it here.

Speaker 46 With the Geiger counter?

Speaker 60 No, with the tip of the day.

Speaker 89 Oh, there is another scandal.

Speaker 17 Yes.

Speaker 40 The tip of the day has become the most scandalous part of the show.

Speaker 199 Yes.

Speaker 175 Yeah, now

Speaker 16 I think it has to do with

Speaker 176 the

Speaker 82 live disc

Speaker 118 product.

Speaker 36 No, no.

Speaker 74 This is the scandal.

Speaker 22 This is the Bill O'Reilly show.

Speaker 265 Now, we have a brand new thing for concierge and premium members called Tip of the Day. What?

Speaker 36 What?

Speaker 265 And every day on the website, I'm going to put a tip that will make your life better.

Speaker 266 That's a lot of tips.

Speaker 267 Some of them will be frothy, entertainment.

Speaker 265 There's a good book to read. There's a good movie to see, whatever it may, that kind of thing.

Speaker 22 But some will be important.

Speaker 266 Okay?

Speaker 265 Just for concierge and premium members.

Speaker 22 We should be doing it for premium members.

Speaker 159 concierge concierge there's the bundle the no agenda bundle

Speaker 226 concierge members of the no agenda show get their tip of the day but only if you're a concierge member man that guy just ripped us off

Speaker 253 ripped us off ripped off dana brunetti dana brunetti should be outraged he should send him a cease and desist i think so Last year, Camuso and the Washington University Environmental Law Clinic analyzed the Corps' cleanup plans.

Speaker 253 Not only are they concerned about the slow pace, they say the Corps is leaving behind nearly three times more radioactive isotopes than the Department of Energy said is safe.

Speaker 264 What they're finding is mostly thorium-230, and that is an alpha emitter.

Speaker 262 What does that mean?

Speaker 264 So, basically, it becomes dangerous when you inhale or ingest it, and once it's in your body, it will continue to fire for the rest of your life.

Speaker 253 The Corps told us their cleanup plans are safe, but the Environmental Protection Agency wasn't convinced.

Speaker 253 CBS News found that in 2020, EPA scientists asked the Corps for specific data on the contamination, but the Corps did not respond to those requests.

Speaker 264 Everybody has been touched by this legacy, and I feel it's a responsibility of mine now that I know this information.

Speaker 2 I can't just sit on it.

Speaker 253 The Corps has promised an update on the contamination in four months when it's set to publish its latest five-year review.

Speaker 253 But while the people here wait for the threat to be dealt with, the creek continues to flow.

Speaker 19 Okay, so I can't see that any other way than that's oil and gas.

Speaker 189 You know, like, ah, let's get something going.

Speaker 241 What do we, hey, remember that thing we had in Pennsylvania in the 70s?

Speaker 36 Let's bring that back.

Speaker 78 You got anybody who's dying of cancer? Yeah, let me see.

Speaker 16 Yeah, we got this. That's such an interesting theory of yours.

Speaker 81 Because it doesn't really benefit anybody to do these stories except oil and gas.

Speaker 86 Now, we had the same thing around here.

Speaker 222 We have

Speaker 192 a nuclear waste dump

Speaker 175 on Treasure Island in San Francisco.

Speaker 46 Yes, yes.

Speaker 197 I remember it. Over in one corner, I know exactly where it is.

Speaker 106 And they supposedly buried it or just, I don't know what they did, but now they put buildings over there because they've privatized the island.

Speaker 107 And

Speaker 74 wasn't Google or something going to buy that at some point?

Speaker 18 Remember something like that?

Speaker 44 There's a bunch of these

Speaker 83 football things that are going on around.

Speaker 81 And it's all military. You know, the military,

Speaker 17 or the vaunted military, they get a hold of something and they don't care.

Speaker 41 So lots of fear-mongering.

Speaker 36 I only have the opening, which will tell you enough.

Speaker 93 60 minutes.

Speaker 39 Now, of course, we need to blame everything on Trump.

Speaker 77 Bird flu has been circling the globe for decades.

Speaker 273 So the discovery in 2024 that

Speaker 273 the deadly pathogen had jumped from a wild bird to a cow

Speaker 273 came as a shock to virus watchers.

Speaker 10 It came as a shock to

Speaker 97 hey, how many virus watchers do you know?

Speaker 256 Shh, be quiet.

Speaker 171 I'm watching a virus.

Speaker 273 Now, in just over a year, the virus has ripped through America's dairy herds and poultry flocks. It has jumped to other mammals, including humans.

Speaker 198 It has jumped to other mammals, including humans, implying it could jump from human to human.

Speaker 169 This is an obvious pharma segment here.

Speaker 273 70 Americans have caught the virus. One has died.

Speaker 273 Long feared as a possible pandemic, doctors and veterinarians fighting the virus told us Biden's government was slow to act, while the Trump administration has now laid off more than a hundred key scientists.

Speaker 247 Oh,

Speaker 247 as the virus keeps spreading.

Speaker 26 Yeah, so when you die, you know who to blame.

Speaker 97 When we create this, you'll know who to blame.

Speaker 148 The question is,

Speaker 38 can we actually ramp up another pandemic now that the World Health Organization is falling apart?

Speaker 138 He described a large sudden drop in funding in U.S. foreign aid as severe.
The United Nations Health Agency has no choice but to slash jobs and operations.

Speaker 275 The refusal of the U.S.

Speaker 275 to pay its assessed contributions for 2024 and 2025, combined with reductions in official development assistance by some other countries, means we are facing a salary gap for the 2026-27 salary.

Speaker 36 This is about the, for some reason, the beginning got cut off, but it's about the World Health Organization saying they have to lay off people.

Speaker 60 But listen to the.

Speaker 17 I thought Bill Gates was financing this and the Chinese.

Speaker 164 Why do we have anything to do with it?

Speaker 198 When you hear the numbers, you'll understand why.

Speaker 275 Some other countries means we are facing a salary gap for the 2026-27 biennium of between $560 and $650 million.

Speaker 9 In addition to stopping countries...

Speaker 156 That's half a billion dollars salaries alone.

Speaker 138 next January. In remarks to member states, the WHO chief Dr.
Tedros said they would be saying goodbye to a significant number of colleagues.

Speaker 138 He said the funding gap represented about 25% of staff costs, but it's only 25%.

Speaker 148 Their salary is $2 billion

Speaker 200 a year.

Speaker 64 For what?

Speaker 35 Thank you.

Speaker 51 They've got the video shows, buildings everywhere.

Speaker 52 What are they doing?

Speaker 74 They actually explain what they do.

Speaker 138 Stressed that did not mean a 25% cut in the number of positions.

Speaker 138 The leadership team in the organization's headquarters will be reduced, and there's a possibility some WHO offices in wealthier countries will be closed.

Speaker 138 The agency, which coordinates the world's response to health emergency, prevents disease, and expands access to healthcare.

Speaker 148 It prevents disease.

Speaker 68 Don't you hear that?

Speaker 14 They do that.

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 69 With the $2 billion, apparently.

Speaker 138 Wealthier countries will be closed.

Speaker 138 The agency, which coordinates the world's response to health emergency, prevents disease, and expands access to healthcare, needs to reduce its activities and recentre on its core functions.

Speaker 138 The news comes shortly after WHO member countries finalized an historic agreement to help prevent the next pandemic.

Speaker 277 And they were going to help prevent the next pandemic with an agreement.

Speaker 49 They have paper.

Speaker 129 So, how many great pandemics have we had over history?

Speaker 106 Two.

Speaker 14 Well, recent history had two.

Speaker 81 We had

Speaker 13 the Spanish flu in 1917, then we had 100 years later.

Speaker 221 Yeah, we had another.

Speaker 81 So it's about every hundred years.

Speaker 106 Yeah.

Speaker 169 So two that I can recall.

Speaker 235 And we had the Black Plague, of course.

Speaker 149 That's way before.

Speaker 104 That was, I I think, the 1400s, I guess.

Speaker 123 Yeah, that was Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 34 But there was a Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 36 She was great.

Speaker 1 What was her name?

Speaker 63 It was Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 36 I know I'm right.

Speaker 106 It was no Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 224 Yes, it was.

Speaker 45 Yes, her name of Russia.

Speaker 178 Catherine the Great.

Speaker 46 That's what I mean.

Speaker 41 Her name was Catherine Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 221 Catherine Elizabeth.

Speaker 51 Good Catholic girl.

Speaker 278 Mary Ellen Elizabeth Catherine.

Speaker 57 Catherine Elizabeth the Great.

Speaker 98 So

Speaker 51 that's why there's two of us, everybody.

Speaker 93 Just so you know.

Speaker 18 So

Speaker 106 they happen about every hundred years, maybe, but they keep trying to make them happen.

Speaker 116 This is what it looks like to me.

Speaker 48 Oh, yeah.

Speaker 36 Oh, yeah. And here's the thing.

Speaker 15 And so we cut our phone.

Speaker 88 We just say, hey, get lost, you guys.

Speaker 13 And next thing you know, they're going out of business.

Speaker 88 Wait, were we the sole support of this operation?

Speaker 88 Is the U.S.

Speaker 14 taxpayer the sole support for all these bogus agencies and government operations?

Speaker 279 Hey, Doge now has saved $151 billion.

Speaker 61 It's good news.

Speaker 47 That's how you need to look at it.

Speaker 203 $150 billion,

Speaker 189 $1 billion or two, let's call it $2 billion.

Speaker 156 So a little more than 1%

Speaker 67 funded the entire WHO.

Speaker 102 Just imagine what that $150 billion could be funding.

Speaker 93 What kind of nonsense?

Speaker 200 And the outflows of that funding of nonsense probably creates a lot more issues for for people, certainly in the United States.

Speaker 282 But there's more because now we have to keep on hammering away at Bobby Diop.

Speaker 257 Misinformation about measles is spreading fast. A new pollution

Speaker 22 like misles, though, it's the misinformation

Speaker 178 that's spreading fast.

Speaker 278 But I like the way they put it together in such a way where it's where in your brain, it sounds like measles is spreading fast.

Speaker 85 This is another one of these tricks we keep

Speaker 48 finding.

Speaker 36 It's good.

Speaker 157 Misinformation is misinformation of measles is spreading fast. It's fascinating.
Because

Speaker 85 if you chop the sentence up, it just says measles is spreading fast.

Speaker 61 It's great.

Speaker 257 It's perfect. Misinformation about measles is spreading fast.
A new poll shows parents are not sure what to believe about the measles vaccine. Health Secretary Robert F.
Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 257 has amplified some misconceptions about a link between the vaccine and the diagnosis of it.

Speaker 60 That's another tricky word. He has amplified.

Speaker 68 Other people were saying, but he has amplified it with his amp.

Speaker 97 He's got an amp.

Speaker 1 The guy can barely talk.

Speaker 257 Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
has amplified some misconceptions about a link between the vaccine and the diagnosis of autism.

Speaker 257 An estimated six out of ten adults have heard a false claim about the measles vaccine. Uncertainty has led some parents to delay or skip getting their child vaccinated altogether.

Speaker 257 There have been 800 confirmed measles cases across 24 states so far this year.

Speaker 71 They forgot to mention how many dead.

Speaker 35 So the the memory is a funny thing.

Speaker 62 We, I, have been mentioning often about Robert De Niro

Speaker 39 that he pulled a documentary from his Tribeca Film Festival.

Speaker 254 And I thought that he had created, that he, it was a documentary that he had created.

Speaker 76 And I knew that he had an autistic son.

Speaker 223 And, you know, so I've been, in fact, spouting misinformation.

Speaker 271 It's much worse.

Speaker 118 One of our producers sent me the OG clip from, I think it's

Speaker 282 the NBC Today Show, where De Niro and his co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival,

Speaker 282 Rosenthal is her name, where they came on to explain what happened.

Speaker 162 To think that this is Robert De Niro,

Speaker 78 just keep that in your brain.

Speaker 71 This is Robert De Niro. Now, this is,

Speaker 25 I think this is 2015, maybe.

Speaker 97 It's at least 10 years old, but listen to this.

Speaker 36 Is it free

Speaker 63 Oh, this is...

Speaker 45 It may even be older than that.

Speaker 111 Well, I mean, older than pre-Trump.

Speaker 51 Oh, it's way older than that.

Speaker 171 It's pre-Trump for sure.

Speaker 203 Okay, pre-Trump.

Speaker 101 Pre-Trump is all you need to know.

Speaker 285 There was a bit of controversy, some headlines at the beginning of this year's festival when it was announced that this film called Vaxed would be screened at the festival.

Speaker 285 Later, the festival pulled it. Was it because of the backlash? Were you surprised that people reacted the way that they did?

Speaker 262 I was shooting a movie. I was in the middle of a lot of stuff.

Speaker 262 I think the movie is something that people should see.

Speaker 262 There was a backlash which I haven't fully explored and I will, and I didn't want it to start affecting the festival in ways that

Speaker 262 I couldn't see. But definitely there's something to that movie, and there's another movie called Trace Amounts.
And

Speaker 262 there's a lot of information about things that are happening with the CDC, the pharmaceutical companies. There's a lot of things that are not said.

Speaker 262 I, as a parent of a child who has autism, I'm concerned. And I want to know the truth.
And I'm not anti-vaccine. I want safe vaccines.
When you get it, some people can't get

Speaker 262 a certain type of shot, and they can die from it, you know, even penicillin. So why should that not be with vaccine, which it isn't?

Speaker 270 So you said, you went public for the first time saying that your 18-year-old son does have autism. That had been a very private thing for you.

Speaker 270 And part of the reason you wanted this film shown was to start that conversation.

Speaker 287 Absolutely.

Speaker 270 Do you believe you'll you'll now have a role in that conversation going forward?

Speaker 262 Possibly, yes. Because the thing is, if to shut it down, there's no reason to.

Speaker 287 If you're a scientist, let's see, let's hear.

Speaker 262 Everybody doesn't seem to want to hear much about it. It's shut down.
And you guys are the ones that should be the investigating, do the investigating.

Speaker 271 So, a couple of things here.

Speaker 280 One, the documentary called Vax, that's a Del Bigtree documentary.

Speaker 51 That was his first big breakthrough.

Speaker 123 Del Bigtree, who, of course, produced the Doctors and all these different shows.

Speaker 75 And it was his documentary.

Speaker 67 It's a great documentary.

Speaker 194 So The Backlash.

Speaker 203 Now, do you remember where the backlash came from?

Speaker 73 No.

Speaker 10 Neither did I, but his co-founder of the festival, Rosenthal, explains it.

Speaker 285 I think the film was controversial because people felt that the filmmaker had been discredited.

Speaker 262 Even he, I'm not so sure about. At the end of the day, even him.

Speaker 27 Jane, well,

Speaker 161 one thing,

Speaker 260 there weren't sponsors or donors that were threatening to pull out a film festival. It was our filmmakers.
And we're known for having amazing documentary films.

Speaker 260 You can take a look at our lineup, whether it's what we're starting with tonight or some other documentaries that are equally controversial that we have at the festival.

Speaker 261 So it was our filmmakers

Speaker 260 that were pulling out.

Speaker 61 It was the filmmakers themselves who said, oh, if you air that documentary, I'm pulling out.

Speaker 189 I don't understand that at all.

Speaker 104 Well, there should be more documentation of this.

Speaker 110 Who were these filmmakers that were pulling out?

Speaker 107 I'm glad you asked.

Speaker 262 It's a beautiful film, but it's another thing. It's the result of.

Speaker 262 It's not about, it's not questioning how people, some people got autism, how the vaccines are dangerous, if not given, dangerous to certain people who are more susceptible.

Speaker 262 And they don't, nobody seems to want to address that, or they say they've addressed it, and it's a closed issue, but it doesn't seem to be because there are many people who will come out and say, no, I saw my kid change like overnight.

Speaker 262 I saw what happened, and I should have done something, and I didn't. So there's more to this than meets the eye, believe me.

Speaker 270 Is that the experience you had, Robert? Something changed overnight?

Speaker 262 My wife says that. I don't remember, but

Speaker 262 my child is autistic, and every kid is different. But there is something there.
There's something there that people aren't addressing.

Speaker 262 And for me to get so upset here today on the Today Show with you guys means there's something there. That's all I wanted was the movie to be seen.

Speaker 262 People can make their own judgment, but you must see it. And there are other films, other things that also just document and show.

Speaker 287 You know, it's not such a simple thing.

Speaker 36 I'm sorry.

Speaker 56 The answer to your question comes in this final clip.

Speaker 22 But please.

Speaker 148 Don't you know, Mr.

Speaker 49 De Niro, the science is in?

Speaker 270 Robert, it is nearly consensus in the scientific community that there's no link there.

Speaker 237 Do you believe that's not true?

Speaker 262 I believe it's much more complicated than that. It's much more complicated than that.

Speaker 262 There is a link, and they're saying there isn't, but there's certain things.

Speaker 262 The obvious one is thimerosol, which is mercury-based preservative. But there are other things there that I don't know.

Speaker 262 I'm not a scientist, but I know because I've seen so much reaction about just let's find out the truth. Let's just find out the truth.

Speaker 262 I'm not, you know, I'm not anti-vaccine, as I say, but I'm pro-safe vaccine.

Speaker 262 And there are some people who cannot take a vaccine, and they have to be found out and warned that they just don't give the kid a bunch of shots, and then something happens.

Speaker 262 Some parents, you know, even in this documentary, they say, I knew I shouldn't have done it, I knew I shouldn't have done it, I talked to the doctor, or he's the doctor, I should listen, I should listen, I did it the next day.

Speaker 262 Imagine how the parent feels.

Speaker 285 The worry is that people who hear those words and wonder about it will then not have their childs vaccinated, which has led to a higher incidence of things like moms and needs of vaccines.

Speaker 262 I don't know if those statistics are accurate. I'm not the one to say, but I would question even that.
There's a kind of a hysteria and a knee-jerk reaction. Let's see.

Speaker 262 As I say, everyone should have the choice to take the vaccine. In some places, it's becoming mandatory, but it does benefit the big drug companies.

Speaker 3 Funnily enough.

Speaker 169 Okay, sorry. He didn't answer the question.

Speaker 39 He said he didn't know who the filmmakers were.

Speaker 126 Well, I think it would be nice to bring up the liability thing, which I think would be

Speaker 36 nobody wants to.

Speaker 101 But imagine De Niro saying that now, today.

Speaker 290 People would lose their ever-loving minds.

Speaker 34 Yes, well, he said it then, and he managed to get it.

Speaker 47 And then they showed him a picture, and he shut up real quick.

Speaker 40 Something happened.

Speaker 13 Probably him and Jenny McCarthy.

Speaker 18 I

Speaker 192 picture two of them.

Speaker 92 I have the autism update clip.

Speaker 18 Okay,

Speaker 18 well,

Speaker 43 let's go.

Speaker 182 National Institutes of Health Director Jay Bhattacharya says the project that will study the causes of autism will take longer than initially indicated.

Speaker 182 NTD correspondent correspondent Jason Blair reports.

Speaker 291 NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya says that the study looking into the causes of autism will take a little longer than the projected September date by Secretary of Health Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Speaker 291 Bhattacharya says that he thinks preliminary results will be pulled out within a year. The NIH will be leading the project that is expected to be formally announced within two weeks.

Speaker 186 We're going to announce a series of new studies

Speaker 186 to identify precisely what the environmental toxins are that are causing it. This has not been done before.

Speaker 291 Bhattacharya says that he thinks to answer the question of why autism is rising, there needs to be large samples of people.

Speaker 291 He says that they'd like to, quote, get access to the medical records of a large portion of the American population, and these records would be a very important part of the study. Dr.

Speaker 291 Bhattacharya says the reason that autism is rising is a question that is at the front of the minds of so many parents across the country, worried about their kids.

Speaker 291 And yet, scientific progress on this has been slow because scientists are frankly scared to ask the question. Bhattacharya said that the budget for the study has not been set yet.

Speaker 291 And Health Director Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
says that the health department will be restoring their Freedom of Information Act or FOIA offices.

Speaker 186 And we're going to try to get as close as we can to total transparency.

Speaker 291 The HHS told NTD's sister media, the Epoch Times, that these cuts were part of streamlining operations and improving efficiency, and that the FOIA offices within the agency did not communicate with each other or report to the department.

Speaker 186 The papers that we produce in this agency do not belong to us. They belong to the American people.

Speaker 186 Man.

Speaker 33 So they had the FOIA offices weren't producing any of the documents that people asked for.

Speaker 36 Well, no, why would you?

Speaker 111 This whole thing is

Speaker 36 corrupt.

Speaker 33 The most corrupt thing I've ever seen is the entire health and human services division.

Speaker 51 Well, and

Speaker 34 the tentacles of the pharmaceutical companies and

Speaker 18 the fact that

Speaker 197 the whole thing's ridiculous.

Speaker 58 Headline: The top CDC vaccine safety officers' records appear to have gone missing.

Speaker 64 How about that?

Speaker 27 How about that?

Speaker 33 The records of the payments from Big Pharma?

Speaker 200 The pay stubs.

Speaker 263 Well, Bobby the op was very busy um this uh this has also been a long time coming from cereal to snacks to juices and yogurt it's hard to shop for items that don't contain artificial dyes when you've got mouths to feed

Speaker 74 you brought kids who are potential nice nice nat pop did you catch that i like it yeah that's like

Speaker 128 contain artificial dyes when you like you don't so listen to this report but when you have mouths to feed mommy you don't care if there's poison in there you need to feed your kid because your kid's going, mommy, for items that don't contain artificial dyes.

Speaker 263 When you've got mouths to feed,

Speaker 74 you've got kids who are potentially adversely affected.

Speaker 263 Some of what prompted a big step Tuesday to phase out the remaining eight synthetic dyes from America's food supply by the end of next year.

Speaker 269 We're going to try to work with Congress and the White House to make sure that we have adequate labeling so mothers who go into the grocery stores know what is good for their children and what is not.

Speaker 263 Health and Human Services Secretary RFK Jr. and the FDA announcing a national standard and timeline for the food industry to transition from petroleum-based dyes to natural alternatives.

Speaker 150 Petrol, I didn't know that they were petroleum-based.

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 118 It's just oil.

Speaker 22 Give me a case.

Speaker 89 You can do amazing things with crude oil.

Speaker 30 Yeah.

Speaker 263 From petroleum-based dyes to natural alternatives.

Speaker 263 The FDA is starting the process to revoke authorization for citrus red number two and orange B in the coming months and authorizing four new natural color additives in the coming weeks.

Speaker 28 Do you know what the natural color additives are?

Speaker 92 A lot of it comes from beetles.

Speaker 235 Well, that's not what the guy said.

Speaker 158 Stand by. For companies that are not a lot of people.

Speaker 221 A lot of vegetables.

Speaker 43 Beet is a good one.

Speaker 36 Yeah, that's a good one.

Speaker 53 Yeah, close, close.

Speaker 287 For companies that are currently using petroleum-based red dye, try watermelon juice.

Speaker 64 Yeah!

Speaker 49 Watermelon juice!

Speaker 172 Watermelon juice!

Speaker 188 He has a little cup of watermelon juice all red and sappy.

Speaker 263 Several dyes have been linked to behavioral issues in children or have been shown to cause cancer in mice, not yet in humans. But other countries have already banned the additives.

Speaker 263 The FDA is also partnering with the National Institutes of Health to find out what those dyes are really doing to children.

Speaker 46 Yeah, nothing good.

Speaker 129 No, a lot of the kids, there are examples

Speaker 192 of kids that

Speaker 81 red dye number two, I think, is one of them.

Speaker 107 Yes.

Speaker 98 It gets them all riled up for some reason.

Speaker 114 So there was a huge study published in JAMA.

Speaker 87 JAMA.

Speaker 53 This is the Journal of American Medical Association.

Speaker 31 I thought that should be in the RICO deal.

Speaker 178 What happened to that?

Speaker 112 I don't know these promises.

Speaker 114 Well, they published this. And this was a study, population-based study.

Speaker 96 Now, this is Finnish citizens from the Finns, born between January 1st, 1985, and

Speaker 198 December 31st, 1997,

Speaker 169 whose demographic, health, and school information were linked from nationwide registers.

Speaker 58 And they followed these kids up until their 17th year.

Speaker 188 And the question that they asked, the question of this study was, is having peers with a mental disorder in the same social network during adolescence associated with later risk of mental disorder?

Speaker 70 And mental disorder, of course, is everything that you can imagine it is, from ADHD to eating disorders to cutting to all this stuff.

Speaker 280 And so the findings,

Speaker 46 the very short conclusion, yes, the findings say that mental disorders might,

Speaker 38 I'll give that to him, might be transmitted with adolescent peer networks.

Speaker 22 And the only thing I can think as I'm reading through the study is social networks.

Speaker 194 This turbocharges

Speaker 170 contagion.

Speaker 105 Social contagion.

Speaker 84 Social contagion.

Speaker 221 Contagion.

Speaker 217 Yes.

Speaker 126 Affects teenage girls more than anything.

Speaker 197 Yes.

Speaker 10 And so this is quite the study.

Speaker 57 I mean, there's a lot of, you know, this is pretty robust data.

Speaker 59 And yes, there is an

Speaker 94 classmates diagnosed with a mental disorder in the ninth grade of comprehensive school was associated with increased risk of receiving a mental disorder diagnosis later in life.

Speaker 33 This would account for all the dancing.

Speaker 282 I think it's more than dancing, but yes,

Speaker 23 yes.

Speaker 128 This is what social media is doing to your kids.

Speaker 1 Literally, social networks.

Speaker 45 And

Speaker 51 they didn't even have social media when they were doing this.

Speaker 193 This was just kids hanging out.

Speaker 12 Well, they should do the study again.

Speaker 51 Oh,

Speaker 195 they'll never let that happen.

Speaker 203 When they find out the truth of that, oh,

Speaker 43 it's going to be so bad.

Speaker 104 Going to be bad. Yeah, it'd be so bad for my clippage.

Speaker 74 Oh,

Speaker 122 give us some examples of social contagion, John.

Speaker 165 Do you have any trans Maoism TikTok clips to share?

Speaker 48 Actually, I do have some trans Maoism TikTok clips.

Speaker 66 All right. And I want to start with this one.

Speaker 272 I got three clips.

Speaker 66 And this is the one, we'll start with trans wisdom.

Speaker 48 This is a very handsome-looking girl giving us

Speaker 89 some thoughts about where trans is really headed.

Speaker 231 Just so that we're all abundantly clear here, not only are trans people sacred, they are wildly, wildly evolved human beings.

Speaker 231 I'm going to invite you to imagine for a moment the amount of strength, courage, self-knowing, and profound self-development that is required in order to walk through the world in your authentic embodiment, knowing, knowing that most people will deeply misunderstand you.

Speaker 231 The average person will not walk through the world in their authentic embodiment, knowing that even one or two people in their circle will misunderstand them.

Speaker 297 From a psychological and a spiritual perspective, there is absolutely, other than love, nothing more important or more valuable than authenticity.

Speaker 297 That's why we come here into human bodies.

Speaker 231 We come here to self-actualize, to know who we truly are, and to live as our authentic selves.

Speaker 208 That's a whole point.

Speaker 297 Trans people are wildly evolved,

Speaker 231 and one day we will understand them as wisdom keepers and we will bow at their feet.

Speaker 49 Wow, wow, wow, all right, I'm gonna give it to you.

Speaker 2 That was well worth it.

Speaker 18 Wow, I did not expect that.

Speaker 76 Well, it's interesting that

Speaker 200 to walk boldly with your transness as who you are spiritually as a person is completely okay, but don't try that as a Christian.

Speaker 202 Interesting.

Speaker 117 Well, here's a good example of

Speaker 175 this kind of wisdom that we're all going to bow down to

Speaker 16 from a trans person.

Speaker 177 And this is the misgendered clip.

Speaker 9 You don't understand

Speaker 298 what is so hard about correcting other people when they misgender others. Like, it takes you like two seconds, but you know what it takes for me to have to constantly do that?

Speaker 298 A lot of fucking unnecessary emotional labor that I already have to take on on a daily basis just to fucking exist and be who I am.

Speaker 298 But you don't have the energy to speak up and say something on my behalf?

Speaker 113 Oh, tell me she had to go fund me.

Speaker 282 She needs to go fund me.

Speaker 36 She needs to go funding.

Speaker 50 Well, let's take another level up to another transgender.

Speaker 12 Oh, wait, there's more. There's more.

Speaker 51 Who also would be,

Speaker 121 I guess,

Speaker 121 looking for great spiritual wisdom from this person.

Speaker 255 So I'm coming home from a bar, and I was kissing kissing this straight guy. He wanted to take me to his house because, you know, he really liked me.
And I told him I was on my period.

Speaker 255 But that's not true.

Speaker 255 I don't get my period. I just didn't want to tell him that I was trans.

Speaker 18 Oh, man.

Speaker 40 So these are the kind of trans geniuses out there that we have to

Speaker 234 bow bow down to. They are going to

Speaker 103 be the leaders of the free world.

Speaker 121 Their wisdom.

Speaker 43 Yes, and they will be.

Speaker 189 Well,

Speaker 24 probably the most

Speaker 123 email topic I received over the past week, I'm sure you can guess what it is.

Speaker 50 No, I can't.

Speaker 45 Oh.

Speaker 22 Who's the next pope going to be, Curry? Come on.

Speaker 36 Who's the next pope?

Speaker 23 You got to know who's the pope. You're the one.

Speaker 242 Well, this is, I didn't guess that.

Speaker 149 I could have because, in fact, I was going to bring it up.

Speaker 175 I don't have it on my list, but I was going to bring it up with you.

Speaker 98 Although we have a week or so.

Speaker 12 Oh, no, no.

Speaker 56 We have a couple more. A couple weeks.

Speaker 176 A couple weeks.

Speaker 149 A couple weeks. We got a couple.

Speaker 13 Well, we have a week before you have to make the prediction. Yes.

Speaker 222 Can't do it after the.

Speaker 63 No, no, that would not be a prediction.

Speaker 203 That would be lame.

Speaker 241 No, that would not be good.

Speaker 37 And it's a tough one for me.

Speaker 22 But first,

Speaker 53 let's play some clips and see if we can get some insight.

Speaker 286 Francis is the next next head of the Catholic Church. A few names are already being mentioned.
First, the Vatican Secretary of State, 70-year-old Pietro Parolin.

Speaker 286 He's an experienced diplomat and seen as a compromise candidate between progressives and conservatives. Another Italian, Matteo Maria Zuppi, the Archbishop of Bologna, is also a possibility.

Speaker 286 Like Francis, the 69-year-old Cardinal is known for his social commitment to migrants and the poor and cares little about pomp and protocol.

Speaker 286 Outside Europe, there's Cardinal Sergio de Rocha from Brazil or Luis Antonio Tagle in the Philippines.

Speaker 87 They will enter a conclave in a few weeks.

Speaker 74 Men who come from Ulaanbaatar, Lesotho, East Timor, so truly from the four corners of the world with concerns that will not be those of the European heavyweights.

Speaker 286 It's not just where the next pope comes from, but also what direction that pope takes the church. Could the keys be given to another progressive?

Speaker 286 Jean-Marc Aveline, the Archbishop of Marseille, shares the same views on immigration and church relations with other religions as Francis.

Speaker 286 On the other hand, the College of Cardinals could choose a more conservative-leaning pope like Robert Serra, shown on the left, or German Gerhard Müller. There's also politics at play.

Speaker 135 We must not underestimate the influence of the Catholic Church's very large financial sources, which can come also from the United States, from Africa, and elsewhere, and which want to refocus the church.

Speaker 135 They want to get even with the Pope, who wanted to decentralize his church, and who wanted a church that reflected the poorest and those who suffer.

Speaker 286 Whoever is selected, the choice of the future Pope will send a strong signal in a context of growing tension within the church.

Speaker 162 So there was a couple listed there.

Speaker 197 The list is quite long of possibilities.

Speaker 203 Thank you all for sending me all.

Speaker 76 And by the way,

Speaker 162 the prophecy of the last pope, that's a good

Speaker 199 Oh, man.

Speaker 156 It's like, if it's Peter of Rome, then this will be the last pope.

Speaker 37 And then the end times are here.

Speaker 30 A lot of that.

Speaker 117 The guy,

Speaker 149 you're talking about Pietro Paparolin?

Speaker 162 What, of the last Pope?

Speaker 86 Is that going to be the last guy?

Speaker 173 Because he's the Italian that's in the running.

Speaker 227 Well, so the prophecy of

Speaker 162 the last Pope.

Speaker 104 Where did this come from?

Speaker 117 Where did the prophecy of the last pope appear?

Speaker 234 Well, it appeared in my email a million times.

Speaker 164 It appeared in the

Speaker 46 email.

Speaker 190 Yeah, the prophecy.

Speaker 41 Let me see.

Speaker 26 It's the Malachi prophecy.

Speaker 169 Saint Malachi,

Speaker 36 apparently.

Speaker 30 Made

Speaker 73 apparently.

Speaker 107 Yes. We're just

Speaker 36 assuming that.

Speaker 39 Made prophecy of the end times by Roman Catholic Archbishop Bishop Malachi.

Speaker 1 You know, there's a whole theory behind it.

Speaker 76 And I'm sorry, I just don't buy any of that.

Speaker 199 Now,

Speaker 47 actually, I will reveal my prediction today.

Speaker 52 I might as well get it in early.

Speaker 128 I have to say, I'm very conflicted.

Speaker 281 The last time I predicted the Pope, I was only politically minded.

Speaker 24 And, you know, I was just looking at, okay, Jesuit makes sense.

Speaker 44 Yeah,

Speaker 149 you're doing it the way we pick soccer games.

Speaker 112 Yes, exactly.

Speaker 68 So, but I'm conflicted because, well, it was this report that at the end of the report that gave me some pause to think about it because you would hope,

Speaker 47 me as a believer, that God would have his hand on this and that he would pick a good person.

Speaker 56 Now, I'm not a Catholic, and I have my questions about, you know, is the Pope really the guy that talks?

Speaker 224 Please don't email me.

Speaker 90 Is the guy that, you know, he talks to God.

Speaker 12 Adam McCurry.com. No, Adam McCurry.com.

Speaker 300 I'm not going to answer it.

Speaker 24 So I'm not a Catholic.

Speaker 25 I just don't think that there's any guy who's going to be bigger than anybody else.

Speaker 54 But if that's your thing, that's fine.

Speaker 24 People believe in John Smith and

Speaker 41 Mormon church, whatever.

Speaker 36 It's all good.

Speaker 47 I got my own thing going.

Speaker 188 I'm not a member of religion.

Speaker 76 But I do think there's a guy in Africa.

Speaker 280 And it was the first thing that came to mind.

Speaker 200 And I saw this report from Deutsche Villa.

Speaker 41 Although he's not mentioned, interestingly enough, I think I can give you my prediction.

Speaker 39 Let's listen to this.

Speaker 237 Francis was seen by many Africans as a champion of the continent. Francis's anti-colonial stance and fierce criticism of imperialism won him many fans there.

Speaker 237 Now, with his passing, many are asking if it is time for the first African pope. Some African contenders' names have been circulating, but it remains unclear how much of a chance they really have.

Speaker 301 In the heart of the Kenyan capital of Nairobi, hundreds of Catholics gathered to bid a final farewell to a man who they felt spoke out for Africa.

Speaker 301 With his fierce criticism of imperialism, colonialism, and global inequality, Pope Francis became a voice for the continent. He was the first Latin American pope.

Speaker 301 Now many here feel that an African pope is not a question of if, but when. Among the African contenders for the papacy are Cardinal Peter Turkson, who was Pope Benedict's peace envoy to South Sudan.

Speaker 301 He has spoken out against criminalizing homosexuality.

Speaker 301 Another candidate is the Archbishop of Kinshasa, Fridolin Mbongo Besungo

Speaker 301 of global oil and mining companies, both in respect of Pope Francis.

Speaker 301 Many hope that if elected, they would continue his legacy. But the final choice, according to millions of Catholics, is not solely up to the cardinals.

Speaker 287 What we believe is that

Speaker 225 the whole process of electing a pope is not simply in the hands of the cardinals who do it.

Speaker 225 We believe that it is in the hands of the Holy Spirit that the Holy Spirit moves and acts in the church in order to provide us with the leader that we need at any point in time.

Speaker 301 The Vatican says that over the past year, 7 million Africans have converted to Catholicism, making the continent one of the fastest growing regions for the church.

Speaker 301 Many in Africa believe Pope Francis was one of the main reasons for this.

Speaker 292 I don't think that's true.

Speaker 46 A lot of Catholics don't like Pope Francis.

Speaker 280 But the guy not mentioned is the guy I'm going to predict.

Speaker 76 And it's just, it's been on my heart, been on my mind for ever since

Speaker 156 the first time I looked at the list.

Speaker 162 Like, this is the guy.

Speaker 38 And you, I think I even mentioned on the show, and you scoffed at me because

Speaker 72 that would sound like me. Yes.

Speaker 43 I believe it will be Cardinal Robert Sarah or Sarah, S-A-R-A-H.

Speaker 114 He's from Guinea, which is West Africa.

Speaker 101 And he's almost 80.

Speaker 53 So not a big risk.

Speaker 233 That's good. Not a big risk.

Speaker 221 That's good.

Speaker 36 Not a big risk.

Speaker 10 He's outspoken.

Speaker 244 He's funny. He speaks Italian, English, French, and Guinea.

Speaker 25 Spanish. So French, English, Spanish, and Italian fluently.

Speaker 36 He is

Speaker 57 against, he called gender ideology

Speaker 162 radicalization that threatens the family.

Speaker 90 That's Robert Sarah.

Speaker 123 Yes, Robert Sarah.

Speaker 126 S-A-R-A-H.

Speaker 121 Yes, Robert Sarah.

Speaker 39 He is going to be my prediction for Pope.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 172 Well,

Speaker 220 I have the list of next Pope.

Speaker 218 I talked about this on the DHM Plug Sure.

Speaker 110 You didn't listen to.

Speaker 168 No, I'm sorry.

Speaker 130 I will, though, because I've got to hear what Horowitz said so I can see that.

Speaker 221 Lash out.

Speaker 175 This is the list that I receive as part, because I'm on mailing lists that you can't believe, theoddspr.com.

Speaker 62 I believe it.

Speaker 30 I believe you're on the mailing list.

Speaker 271 The Pope mailing list.

Speaker 36 Yes.

Speaker 90 It fires up once every 40 years.

Speaker 12 It's a great list.

Speaker 203 This is the list in order of the next Pope.

Speaker 205 Odds.

Speaker 63 Odds. Oh, I have odds.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 180 The

Speaker 180 even bet is Louis Tagley, the

Speaker 87 Philippines.

Speaker 171 Philippines.

Speaker 25 Yes, I would say, I understand why they're saying he's a possibility.

Speaker 272 The number two pick on the list, two to one odds, is Pietro

Speaker 115 Aparillin, the guy, the Italian guy who is the,

Speaker 112 you

Speaker 124 diplomat. Yeah, he would be the last pope.

Speaker 238 That would be the one everyone.

Speaker 242 He's the pope that I would pick if I was picking popes.

Speaker 280 But you're not picking popes.

Speaker 72 No, I'm not. I'm obviously not picking popes.

Speaker 118 I'm the pope picker.

Speaker 17 And he is

Speaker 86 Horowitz even said that he'd bet on this guy.

Speaker 174 It's about time we went back to the Italians being the Pope. But okay.

Speaker 33 Let's assume that's not going to happen.

Speaker 149 It falls off rather quickly after that

Speaker 250 Matteo Zuppi

Speaker 13 comes in at six to one odds.

Speaker 175 And then

Speaker 13 a couple six to one, six to one, six to one.

Speaker 175 Then we get to Mark Olet at 10 to 1.

Speaker 180 And your man, Robert Serra, is on the list.

Speaker 68 Oh, he's there.

Speaker 23 Oh, he's on the list.

Speaker 94 Not in the media reports, but he's on the list.

Speaker 16 He's on the list at 10 to 1.

Speaker 70 10 to 1.

Speaker 87 Place your bet. So it's not a long shot by any means.

Speaker 48 I mean, it goes up to guys like

Speaker 112 Malcolm Raniff at 25 to 1.

Speaker 150 There's a whole bunch of 50 to 1 for Lauro T C and LaRo with an O.

Speaker 131 Wilfred Napier is 50 to 1.

Speaker 119 Mario or Mauro Placentza is 50.

Speaker 16 There's a lot of these.

Speaker 89 So he's 10 to 1. So he's not a complete dark horse

Speaker 36 that you picked him.

Speaker 129 And it's interesting that you picked him at all.

Speaker 35 Well, you know, I think that they want away.

Speaker 122 Let's get a Shvvarse in there.

Speaker 176 I like the idea of, I like the basic thinking because he's so old.

Speaker 62 Yes.

Speaker 17 Here's your, we bring our token black guy in, finally bring a black guy in who's going to die any minute.

Speaker 115 And that is the way the church would think.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 11 Smart money.

Speaker 172 Because after that Polish guy,

Speaker 82 they are very leery.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 93 We don't want anyone hanging around too long.

Speaker 20 We like that guy was around too long.

Speaker 280 We like the conclave thing.

Speaker 24 It's a lot of fun. We get good food.

Speaker 296 Yeah.

Speaker 193 And just in case you were wondering, thank you, Euronews.

Speaker 18 No, it's fake news.

Speaker 47 J.D.

Speaker 93 Vance did not kill the Pope.

Speaker 135 In the wake of Pope Francis' death, tributes have been flooding social media, including from U.S. Vice President J.D.

Speaker 135 Vance, having been one of the last people to hold an audience with Pope Francis before his death. J.D.
Vance wrote on X, I just learned of the passing of Pope Francis.

Speaker 135 I was happy to see him yesterday, although he was obviously very ill. Due to the timing of this meeting, many were the jokes turned conspiracy theories that this meeting has sparked claiming that J.D.

Speaker 135 Vance killed Pope Francis others claiming can you meet with Putin next amplifying these jokes was none other than J.F.

Speaker 135 Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlosberg he writes a similar claim on X saying J okay JD killed the Pope as he also posted this image on Instagram with the caption that reads what did JD do VP of Little Faith meets with Pope yesterday?

Speaker 68 Today, Pope dies.

Speaker 138 So, not much debunking to do here needed on this one.

Speaker 135 These are fake claims. The Vatican reports there was no foul play.

Speaker 135 Pope Francis had been ill, admitted to a Rome hospital on February 14th for life-threatening pneumonia, where he was, although he was able to hang on to one final Easter as he delighted the crowds at the Vatican with the surprise Easter blessing on Sunday and what is now known as his final public appearance.

Speaker 56 I love that they spend so much time on that.

Speaker 172 How did they do that?

Speaker 36 Who's the editor of this operation?

Speaker 48 This is not a story.

Speaker 14 This is a bogus story.

Speaker 51 She had a big smart board and she was showing, you know, swiping up these tweets and putting big X's on it.

Speaker 190 And oh, yeah, it's called Verify.

Speaker 162 It's the Verify segment.

Speaker 33 Oh, they got that from France 24. We had that.

Speaker 104 I used to play a couple of clips from that myself.

Speaker 123 Yeah, the BBC has a whole show that does it now.

Speaker 234 It's like

Speaker 156 misinformation, debunking everything.

Speaker 79 By the way,

Speaker 159 right on cue, amazing.

Speaker 37 Once again, ladies and gentlemen, the season of reveal.

Speaker 267 She stayed silent for over 30 years.

Speaker 302 Now, Hélène Perlon, daughter of French Prime Minister François Bayreux, is speaking out.

Speaker 302 In an interview with Perry Match magazine, she reveals she was a victim of physical violence by a priest at a Catholic school summer camp.

Speaker 141 One evening, while we were unpacking our sleeping bags, he suddenly grabbed me by the hair.

Speaker 141 He dragged me along the ground for several meters and punched and kicked me all over my body, especially in the stomach.

Speaker 302 Perlon was 14 years old at the time. She claims she said nothing to her father to protect him from political repercussions.

Speaker 302 This former student was in the same class as Francois Bayroux's son, the victim's brother. He encouraged her to speak out, to no avail.

Speaker 167 I think that because children's voices weren't listened to at at the time, she wasn't able to express herself at home.

Speaker 287 She may have wanted to protect her father, too, but perhaps François Bayroux wasn't very present at home due to his political duties. And as a child, she wanted to protect her father.

Speaker 302 On May 14th, François Bayroux is set to testify before a parliamentary commission investigating abuse in the Catholic congregation that ran the summer camp.

Speaker 302 Bayroux says he had no knowledge of the physical and sexual assaults reported by 200 former students of the congregation's Notre Dame de Betteram School.

Speaker 46 Talk about burying the lead.

Speaker 221 200.

Speaker 36 200.

Speaker 7 It was burying the lead. My

Speaker 106 really with the very end.

Speaker 241 My God.

Speaker 193 You know,

Speaker 22 Pope Sarah, he'll take care of all that nonsense.

Speaker 188 He'll clean all that out.

Speaker 130 What's he got to lose?

Speaker 279 He's from a different continent.

Speaker 300 He's got millions of Africans behind him.

Speaker 74 It'll lift up all of Africa.

Speaker 151 Yeah.

Speaker 229 Another, not a death, but resignation, of course, we need to just discuss is Klaus Schwab stepping down as.

Speaker 88 Oh, yes.

Speaker 106 I don't have any clips on this, but yes, this I thought was fundamental.

Speaker 130 Well, I don't have clips, but

Speaker 280 apparently there's a report that Schwab stepped down after the

Speaker 282 World Economic Forum's Board of Trustees

Speaker 280 called for his resignation internally because of all kinds of corruption.

Speaker 195 Corruption.

Speaker 36 Yeah, you take one look at that guy.

Speaker 272 You don't think of corruption.

Speaker 156 Financial and ethical misconduct.

Speaker 53 So there's a letter apparently floating out there that Schwab used the organization's funds for personal expenses, instructed junior staff to withdraw cash for private use, including massages,

Speaker 103 massages, during official trips.

Speaker 229 I need a massage.

Speaker 47 Get one of those.

Speaker 81 It's not like he's buying fleets of Rolls-Royce's.

Speaker 36 Also alleged that Hilde, his wife, used

Speaker 203 WEF money for luxury hotel stays during personal trips.

Speaker 49 Well, that's what you do.

Speaker 22 What you do. That's what you do.

Speaker 47 I had a company credit card.

Speaker 277 I used to take you out to expensive lunches all the time.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's what you do. Yeah.

Speaker 116 You had a company credit card.

Speaker 76 Yeah, that's what you do.

Speaker 116 And

Speaker 33 which had on it, no sweat off my balls, written right on there.

Speaker 175 I thought that was, I don't know how you managed that.

Speaker 130 I don't recall that, but I'll take it as gospel from you any day.

Speaker 63 Yes, it's what you do. But he's gone.

Speaker 28 Ding-dong, the witch is dead.

Speaker 130 I think that breaks the whole organization.

Speaker 47 Without Schwab, it's not fun to make fun, unless they get a real good, good guy, bad, another,

Speaker 76 like, evil person to step in.

Speaker 196 But I haven't seen anyone who even comes close to what Schwab was.

Speaker 98 David Hogg.

Speaker 236 Now that would be awesome.

Speaker 178 That would be awesome.

Speaker 70 That That would be fantastic.

Speaker 205 Yeah.

Speaker 70 Now we can only hope for that.

Speaker 281 All right. You got anything else before we take a break here?

Speaker 7 Some pre-break stuff.

Speaker 120 Pre-break stuff.

Speaker 36 It can be anything.

Speaker 43 The floor is yours.

Speaker 203 I yield the remainder of my time to the distinguished gentleman from Berkeley.

Speaker 48 Well, there's a couple of things.

Speaker 119 This is just a short clip, but it's worth playing.

Speaker 17 This is the EU doing its thing

Speaker 105 and gouging Apple and Meta just for no good reason.

Speaker 303 The European Commission fined Apple $570 million and Meta nearly $230 million.

Speaker 303 It comes after a ruling that both companies had restricted customer choices and violated the European Union's Digital Markets Act.

Speaker 303 Member of European Parliament Andreas Schwab said European law is becoming very costly for companies that don't obey it.

Speaker 185 The message is very clear. Competition matters.
Open societies need open markets. That's an important message for Europe, but also for the US.

Speaker 185 And we hope to endeavour with these decisions to get more services for our citizens.

Speaker 303 The Digital Markets Act, or DMA, seeks to ensure that large gatekeeper platforms operate in a fair way and allow room for competitors.

Speaker 303 The European Commission found Apple imposed restrictions on developers, which meant they could not take full benefit of distribution channels other than Apple's App Store.

Speaker 303 As for Meta, the EU's fines relate to the company's consent or pay advertising model.

Speaker 303 EU users of Instagram and Facebook had to choose between consent for Meta to use their private data for advertising or pay a monthly subscription for an ad-free service.

Speaker 303 Under the DMA, all platforms must provide a less personalized but equivalent alternative to users who do not consent to the usage of their personal data.

Speaker 303 A Meta spokesperson told the Epoch Times that the European Commission is attempting to handicap successful American businesses while allowing Chinese and European companies to operate under different standards.

Speaker 303 In a statement to Reuters, Apple said it would challenge the EU fine and called it another example of being unfairly targeted in decisions that are bad for the privacy and security of users.

Speaker 303 The fines come amid trade tensions between the United States and the EU, notably the tariffs.

Speaker 241 Shut them off.

Speaker 18 Just shut them off.

Speaker 144 Don't let it right thing.

Speaker 290 Don't let them use our stuff.

Speaker 117 I I do have two clips that I think would be more appropriate.

Speaker 41 Well, can I just stay on big tech for a second or are they also big tech?

Speaker 192 No, stay on big tech.

Speaker 203 A very concerning executive order was signed yesterday. I don't like this one at all.

Speaker 304 President Trump signed seven executive orders on education.

Speaker 304 One order targets the federal government's process for deciding what colleges and universities can access billions of dollars in federal student loans and Pell Grants, which go to poorer students.

Speaker 304 It also directs the U.S. Attorney General and Secretary of Education to investigate unlawful discrimination by higher education institutions.

Speaker 304 The president also signed an executive order aimed at bringing artificial intelligence into K through 12 schools.

Speaker 152 What is it you don't like?

Speaker 176 You don't like the AI part?

Speaker 95 No, it's horrible.

Speaker 156 Like, well, so all these guys, all the guys who were in there, they finally got what they wanted.

Speaker 93 Now, of course, it's a task force, so it's not done yet, but they have 90 90 days to come up with plans for the presidential artificial intelligence challenge.

Speaker 156 The challenge shall encourage and highlight student and educator achievements in AI, promote wide geographic adoption of technological advancement, and foster collaboration between government, academia, philanthropy, and industry to address national challenges with AI solutions.

Speaker 117 I didn't pay attention to that when it, the whole thing, to be honest about it.

Speaker 40 And it's nice to know that you're on it.

Speaker 66 It makes me part of

Speaker 175 your one-man

Speaker 92 fight, fight against AI.

Speaker 105 Yes. Your Don Quixote approach to tilting it windows.

Speaker 66 Within 120 days, this is long.

Speaker 113 I'm just highlighting some things.

Speaker 165 Within 120 days of the day, this order, the director of the NSF shall take steps to prioritize

Speaker 122 research on the use of AI in education.

Speaker 196 Oh, yes, they're going to use it

Speaker 97 in the schools.

Speaker 148 Utilize existing programs to create teacher training opportunities that help educators effectively integrate AI-based tools and modalities in classrooms.

Speaker 1 Go homeschool.

Speaker 172 Poor kids.

Speaker 126 Let us have a calculator in the school.

Speaker 90 Oh, and it's all going to be public-private partnerships.

Speaker 271 It's a bonanza.

Speaker 30 I see this really as a bailout.

Speaker 76 Bailout of this nonsense.

Speaker 177 It hasn't even jumped the shark yet.

Speaker 221 This is true.

Speaker 251 I don't like it.

Speaker 292 It's troubling to me.

Speaker 70 It's troubling.

Speaker 34 Yes, it is.

Speaker 106 I knew that would be the case.

Speaker 87 Two wikis, and then we can go. All right.

Speaker 15 Now, this is Scott Bessant.

Speaker 31 He came and went and gave a lecture to the IMF.

Speaker 229 This is our Treasury Secretary.

Speaker 60 The Treasury Secretary.

Speaker 13 He's the guy. He's the money guy.

Speaker 96 He's a money guy.

Speaker 16 I have two versions

Speaker 40 of the same presentation. One's NPR and one's NTD.
And I want to play them back to back.

Speaker 72 But Besant lectured the IMF about how screwed up they are.

Speaker 175 And I thought the NTD was so much better than NPR.

Speaker 53 Just help me.

Speaker 150 You have two Besant.

Speaker 48 Those are dupes.

Speaker 43 Oh, okay. They're dupes.
All right, good. Okay.

Speaker 31 The NPR clip is the one to go start with.

Speaker 44 All right. All right.
Here we go.

Speaker 306 Treasury Secretary Scott Besant says the U.S. wants to remain a leader in the global economy, even as President Trump's tariffs cast a cloud over worldwide trade.

Speaker 306 NPR Scott Horsley reports Besson spoke this morning on the sidelines of a global economic summit.

Speaker 212 Besson addressed a gathering of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, two institutions set up in the wake of World War II to foster peace and global prosperity.

Speaker 212 Besson accused the IMF and World Bank of straying from their core missions to tackle problems such as climate change.

Speaker 212 He urged the World Bank to finance more nuclear and fossil fuel projects in developing countries.

Speaker 213 Energy abundance sparks economic abundance. That's why the bank should encourage an all-of-the-above approach to energy development.

Speaker 212 The IMF has downgraded its forecast of global economic growth this year, largely as a result of President Trump's trade war.

Speaker 67 Oh, this is what the president said.

Speaker 266 IMF, stay out of politics.

Speaker 149 Right? So that was kind of a

Speaker 11 boring.

Speaker 95 And it was like, and they had a little slam against Trump, and it was the whole thing was just...

Speaker 192 typical of the NPR crap.

Speaker 181 I thought that this one was more meaningful and it had

Speaker 307 about the same length a little bit more longer uh it was i think it was more meaningful and more in-depth and i thought it hit this mark and this is from ntd china in particular is in need of a rebalancing recent data shows the chinese economy tilting even further away from consumption toward manufacturing China's economic system with growth driven by manufacturing exports will continue to create even more serious imbalances with its trading partners if the status quo is allowed to continue.

Speaker 307 China's current economic model is built on exporting its way out of its economic troubles. It's an unsustainable model that is not only harming China, but the entire world.

Speaker 182 Besant added, quote, treating China the second largest country in the world as a developing country is absurd.

Speaker 182 In addition to pushing for more pressure on China, Besant urged the IMF to reprioritize the world economy.

Speaker 182 The Treasury Treasury Secretary denounced the World Financial Organization for devoting, quote, disproportionate time and resources to work on climate change, gender, and social issues.

Speaker 182 Besett added, quote, Mission Creep has knocked these institutions off course.

Speaker 72 I didn't know the IMF was working on gender issues.

Speaker 40 This is out of control, this gender thing.

Speaker 46 They're trying, but they're not getting anything.

Speaker 36 They're not going to be able to move this forward.

Speaker 96 It's just not happening.

Speaker 55 I keep reading about the Mar-a-Lago Accords everywhere, though.

Speaker 29 It's like, oh, we're in this.

Speaker 93 It's time now.

Speaker 171 It's time.

Speaker 32 We need a new

Speaker 36 was it called?

Speaker 203 The original one in 47.

Speaker 150 A new Bretton Woods. Oh, Bretton Woods.

Speaker 158 Yeah, it's time for the Mar-a-Lago Accords.

Speaker 99 I keep reading it everywhere.

Speaker 74 And I think we were the first ones to use the charts.

Speaker 150 I don't read it anywhere.

Speaker 36 Oh, really?

Speaker 18 Yeah.

Speaker 241 Yeah, no, let me see.

Speaker 46 Here, well, it's investing.com, whatever that is.

Speaker 170 What the proposed Mar-a-Lago Accord could mean for investors.

Speaker 280 While not officially endorsed, the framework outlines measures designed to preserve the U.S.

Speaker 46 dollar's global dominance while intentionally weakening its value, which is what we need.

Speaker 39 UBS strategists note that these measures aim to lower tread.

Speaker 93 So the idea is to create new bonds.

Speaker 256 A hundred-year bond.

Speaker 113 It's like the trillion-dollar trillion-dollar coin, only upside down.

Speaker 55 And so everybody gets a new bond for your old bond.

Speaker 251 You get a 100-year bond.

Speaker 123 And I guess it has a lower yield, I guess.

Speaker 58 I don't know how any of this works.

Speaker 93 I don't understand any of this stuff.

Speaker 22 Did you guys talk about it at all?

Speaker 192 Not the 100-year bond.

Speaker 72 No.

Speaker 177 Actually, the trillion-dollar coin doesn't come up either.

Speaker 158 Well, no, that's the stable coin.

Speaker 37 That's on deck.

Speaker 219 I think that's going to be part of the Mar-a-Lago Accord.

Speaker 223 To finalize, though, I got a great list of 23 subtle but alarming recession indicators.

Speaker 224 Now, we have a recession.

Speaker 203 We have one, I think, one recession indicator, which is the Dvorak law.

Speaker 42 Maybe you'd like to reiterate it.

Speaker 152 The one about hookers?

Speaker 191 Yeah, that one.

Speaker 118 That's the one.

Speaker 31 That when in a recession, the hookers are

Speaker 131 get better looking and are cheaper.

Speaker 36 Wasn't there another one? Didn't we have

Speaker 236 the hairdressers?

Speaker 75 We had the hairdresser one.

Speaker 178 That's yours. Yes.

Speaker 251 We had the hairdresser one, which is women no longer get expensive hairdos

Speaker 196 and they start dying their hair at home.

Speaker 38 But here are 23 more, which I think is worth mentioning.

Speaker 194 $5 blackjack tables at the ARIA

Speaker 101 instead of the typical 25.

Speaker 36 Plumbers.

Speaker 36 Dollar blackjack tables everywhere.

Speaker 1 Well, this is the ARIA.

Speaker 178 The ARIA.

Speaker 103 Okay, the ARIA is a very special casino in Vegas.

Speaker 78 Plumbers showing up on time.

Speaker 191 I like that.

Speaker 104 I've never had an issue with plumbers showing up on time.

Speaker 251 Well, Berkeley is never going to be in a recession.

Speaker 244 Italian sandwich shops in prime locations struggling.

Speaker 198 Companies moving overseas.

Speaker 102 I I don't think that's right.

Speaker 42 Real estate ghost towns.

Speaker 241 Have we seen that yet?

Speaker 18 I don't think so.

Speaker 51 I'd like number seven.

Speaker 162 A lack of Botox.

Speaker 125 A lack of.

Speaker 40 Okay, keep reading. I don't know.

Speaker 192 These are terrible, by the way.

Speaker 194 Empty strip clubs.

Speaker 280 Fixer cars on Facebook.

Speaker 203 Here's one I think is true.

Speaker 224 You a used guitar surplus.

Speaker 64 Everyone's selling

Speaker 130 selling their axe.

Speaker 47 I got to get rid of my guitar, man.

Speaker 156 Home-cooked lunches.

Speaker 162 Owner-sold cars.

Speaker 46 You know, when you drive in a neighborhood and

Speaker 56 they got the car out there, and it says.

Speaker 117 This is what Craigslist is for.

Speaker 111 It's been going on for years.

Speaker 22 Availability at the vet office?

Speaker 22 No.

Speaker 148 Short fast food lines.

Speaker 189 Hmm. I'm not seeing that here.

Speaker 197 I haven't seen that anymore.

Speaker 102 They opened up a Chick-fil-A in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 73 Holy mother.

Speaker 72 Oh, did they now?

Speaker 21 Well, it's outside the sandwich.

Speaker 17 Have you had the chicken sandwich?

Speaker 33 I'd like to get a review of it.

Speaker 195 I really don't like Chick-fil-A.

Speaker 203 I've had it maybe once, maybe twice.

Speaker 165 I'm not a fan.

Speaker 38 It's just chicken mush in a sandwich.

Speaker 51 Is that right?

Speaker 157 I thought it was a pretty good quality product.

Speaker 110 I don't, I'd never had one, so I don't know.

Speaker 36 Well, it's right near the church, but unfortunately, they're not open on Sunday.

Speaker 158 Card collections on sale.

Speaker 56 Plenty of card collections, you know, like baseball cards, people trying to sell stuff, sell their baseball cards.

Speaker 217 Yeah.

Speaker 296 Parking, plenty of parking.

Speaker 244 Declined payments.

Speaker 38 I've seen this a lot at the grocery store.

Speaker 171 Declined payments.

Speaker 24 Stand behind somebody, like...

Speaker 174 They got open. Oh, yeah.
Previous decline.

Speaker 125 Yeah, that happened.

Speaker 45 That's it.

Speaker 78 So none of them are any good.

Speaker 241 Yeah, I guess not.

Speaker 80 I don't think that was a very good list.

Speaker 16 I think we should come up with our own.

Speaker 52 Well, we have two.

Speaker 92 This is something that we have to do. We do have two.

Speaker 181 But mine's no good anymore since the OnlyFans come around.

Speaker 197 There are no more hookers.

Speaker 124 That's the exit strategy, by the way.

Speaker 241 Holy moly.

Speaker 41 Some girl just retired from OnlyFans, $67 million in three years' time.

Speaker 202 She's like, nah, I'm good.

Speaker 166 I'm done.

Speaker 131 $20 million a year? Yeah.

Speaker 130 Oh, I believe it.

Speaker 115 Well, she must be really.

Speaker 63 no, and she actually never even

Speaker 156 really took her clothes off, apparently.

Speaker 123 She just did poses.

Speaker 121 Sweet talker.

Speaker 81 She knows what she's doing.

Speaker 271 And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage.

Speaker 266 Say in the morning to you, the man who put the C and John C. Dvorak's economic woes indicators.

Speaker 281 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only mister, John C.

Speaker 308 Dvorak.

Speaker 17 Yeah, and the morning to you, Mr.

Speaker 40 Edward Curry. In the morning, it's Chip C.

Speaker 16 Booster and Graphite Near.

Speaker 230 Top for the monarchy tonight.

Speaker 293 In the morning, air trolls.

Speaker 8 Let me say it for a second in the morning.

Speaker 281 1,914 listening live right now.

Speaker 36 Yeah, we're kind of on a, we're going, we're moving sideways with this chart, people.

Speaker 108 Sideways.

Speaker 156 Side-to-sideways movement.

Speaker 159 Well, that's okay.

Speaker 93 But we love the trolls, especially the ones who hang out in the troll room and comment, give all kinds of interesting ideas.

Speaker 18 Whenever a Jewish name comes up, you see people with emojis going, hmm, yes, there are a bunch bunch of anti-Semites there.

Speaker 229 It's great.

Speaker 36 So

Speaker 197 there's anti-Semites in the troll room?

Speaker 52 Gambling?

Speaker 156 Yeah, whenever it's a Jewish name, like, oh, oh, okay.

Speaker 241 I know.

Speaker 73 I don't know what is

Speaker 73 up.

Speaker 167 I don't know what's up either.

Speaker 159 Yeah, you can join them.

Speaker 22 Practice your Hitler salute.

Speaker 35 Jump on in, trollroom.io.

Speaker 281 Everybody loves hanging out and have fun there.

Speaker 169 I have not kicked somebody off in a long time.

Speaker 12 I need some.

Speaker 82 Yeah, you're overdue.

Speaker 111 Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 101 I don't get mad anymore.

Speaker 24 I just given up on being offended.

Speaker 53 It's like, it's not worth it.

Speaker 150 I feel much better.

Speaker 169 By the way, I will remind you, there's plenty of shows still to come after this donation segment.

Speaker 229 We have, well, we definitely have to discuss Heg Seth.

Speaker 96 I got some funny clips there.

Speaker 170 And maybe we should do some tariff stuff just to keep everybody up to speed.

Speaker 281 And of course, the tip of the day, now so popular that Bill O'Reilly is

Speaker 159 ripping us off.

Speaker 104 Yeah, we get ripped off constantly.

Speaker 16 I think people, you know, they think it's some sort of a secret that this show exists, and they have their producer listening.

Speaker 112 I got an idea.

Speaker 16 We can steal it from those guys and no agenda.

Speaker 149 The thing is, we have a pretty big audience that knows what's going on.

Speaker 112 Yeah.

Speaker 280 And they pay attention.

Speaker 46 And for some reason, they listen to Bill O'Reilly.

Speaker 118 And they're like, hey, wait a minute, Bill. What you doing?

Speaker 156 But of course, that's only for,

Speaker 128 what was the term he had?

Speaker 271 His concierge members.

Speaker 49 Concierge.

Speaker 18 That's a good one.

Speaker 244 We don't have concierge members.

Speaker 224 We don't have

Speaker 36 a bundle.

Speaker 203 We don't have no agenda plus for anything else.

Speaker 143 No, we just give it to you.

Speaker 175 Club, no agenda.

Speaker 24 Club, no agenda, good one.

Speaker 156 We feel it's important

Speaker 30 that you get this information

Speaker 96 no matter what your financial status.

Speaker 51 And I feel the same way about, by the way,

Speaker 13 although I don't produce as much as I should on Substack,

Speaker 34 I've just decided that it will have a value-for-value approach toward it.

Speaker 104 I'm going to always have free content.

Speaker 34 I'm never going to close it off for the, oh, you have to be a subscriber.

Speaker 48 And today,

Speaker 16 I just unsubscribed to Seymour Hirsch's Substack.

Speaker 165 Oh, interesting.

Speaker 156 I'm still subscribed and I still pay.

Speaker 108 I don't pay.

Speaker 117 I refuse to pay.

Speaker 179 Because

Speaker 111 I'm cheap compared to you.

Speaker 14 I just want to support the old man doing some work.

Speaker 40 he's got plenty of support, but it's beside the point.

Speaker 108 I would support him if I could read some of these columns, but he just writes teasers, and then you have to subscribe to read the rest of it.

Speaker 48 And I'm not a fan of this idea of writing a teaser and then trying to make you subscribe because of, oh, there's maybe something here if you keep reading further.

Speaker 36 I didn't realize that.

Speaker 85 So I just gave up.

Speaker 229 Yeah, no, I'm against that too. I mean, I support him because I,

Speaker 194 you know, I just want to support his work, but I didn't realize that he was doing teasers and it was all

Speaker 75 in the bundle.

Speaker 280 And for concierge, so I'm a concierge member, apparently, of Seymour Hirsch.

Speaker 230 Yeah, I would,

Speaker 178 I'm against that.

Speaker 47 Yeah, it's not value for value.

Speaker 101 That's just you're being a tease.

Speaker 29 You're a tease. It's no good.

Speaker 40 You might as well be on OnlyFans.

Speaker 126 Never taking your clothes off.

Speaker 117 Yeah,

Speaker 251 there's a visual I don't need of Seymour Hirsch, but thanks.

Speaker 19 I feel much better.

Speaker 115 Well, he's not taking his clothes off.

Speaker 188 Hey, by the way, you want to use one of those modern podcast apps if you're listening to the show for a number of reasons.

Speaker 67 First of all, you get the live stream in the modern podcast apps.

Speaker 195 You get the bat signal when we go live.

Speaker 36 And not just for our show,

Speaker 101 almost any show on the No Agenda stream now utilizes this system.

Speaker 203 So you want that.

Speaker 276 You want it for the transcripts.

Speaker 156 You want it for the chapters.

Speaker 203 You want it for the chapter art.

Speaker 309 And let's talk about that for a second.

Speaker 51 uh because it's what we do every single show uh we have hundreds of artists who are listening to the show live and they're creating fun art.

Speaker 36 I helped somebody audit their

Speaker 165 feed and their podcast yesterday because it was one of the first people ever said, Hey, we have a pretty big, successful show.

Speaker 178 Would you mind hopping on a Zoom call with the team and

Speaker 56 walking us through what you think about our feed, how we publish,

Speaker 130 are there any best practices?

Speaker 165 And I said,

Speaker 143 No one has ever asked me to do that.

Speaker 61 This is unbelievable, what you just said.

Speaker 172 No one has has ever.

Speaker 66 I have been harping on this for not that I'm your agent.

Speaker 242 I'd do it a crappy job if I was.

Speaker 69 If you were, I would have made money on the deal, but no, okay.

Speaker 36 I didn't.

Speaker 272 But the point is, is that this is ridiculous that you have not been consulted on, which, you know, it's a pet peeve of mine, not consulting the experts.

Speaker 197 I remember when

Speaker 126 Halsey started

Speaker 112 CNET and you auditioned there.

Speaker 36 Yeah, well,

Speaker 251 I got hired there, but I didn't take the deal stupidly.

Speaker 111 He ended up with

Speaker 95 a local guy.

Speaker 85 But anyway, the point is, is he would always find definitive people.

Speaker 181 He would just do a little research.

Speaker 245 Didn't take much and he'd just ask them if they wanted to get in.

Speaker 86 I mean, he did the thing with his website.

Speaker 121 He found some guy that was one of the early website developers.

Speaker 250 And it's always, you go to the definitive guy, the guy who invented it.

Speaker 48 If you can find the guy who invented the whole process, hey, get a hold of him, see if he will talk to you.

Speaker 16 This never happens, except there's a few guys who understand it.

Speaker 175 And I'm stunned that anyone

Speaker 14 got a clue.

Speaker 35 You will even be more stunned by who it was.

Speaker 30 Who was it?

Speaker 1 Chip Ingram.

Speaker 168 You don't know Chip Ingram.

Speaker 143 Chip Ingram is a pastor.

Speaker 198 He is on well over a thousand radio stations, has millions of people listening to his podcast.

Speaker 24 It's called Living on the Edge.

Speaker 203 And he has his board of directors.

Speaker 60 He has

Speaker 43 the,

Speaker 192 was it the chairman of the board?

Speaker 169 And they had the technology people.

Speaker 53 I was like, wow.

Speaker 148 How smart are you guys?

Speaker 233 And he doesn't, it's not going to, you know, that must be a three, four million dollar a year operation.

Speaker 73 Or more.

Speaker 64 Or more. Yeah.

Speaker 99 I was stunned.

Speaker 271 I was stunned by the invitation.

Speaker 1 Like, yeah, I'll do that.

Speaker 36 Absolutely.

Speaker 21 That's how pros operate, man.

Speaker 53 Pros. Where's Bill O'Reilly?

Speaker 26 No, no, no.

Speaker 46 No, instead of steal stuff from us.

Speaker 36 Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 15 And we usually miss the point.

Speaker 197 Big time.

Speaker 40 Stealing, but it only goes to the concierge service.

Speaker 221 Oh, please.

Speaker 68 So back to the artist.

Speaker 284 We always thank the artists who brought us the artwork for the previous episode.

Speaker 41 In episode 1757, which we titled Word Vito.

Speaker 21 A lot of people like this art.

Speaker 39 It was a combo piece.

Speaker 56 It was by Fluff Comet.

Speaker 252 Of course, 420 was

Speaker 143 Easter.

Speaker 46 We always work on holidays if they fall on show day.

Speaker 203 I think we haven't missed one once.

Speaker 36 It was also 420, well known under the herb lovers of the group.

Speaker 244 So it was a bunny munching on a marijuana leaf.

Speaker 37 The only thing we missed was Hitler in there for Hitler's birthday.

Speaker 143 Otherwise, it was a perfect piece.

Speaker 66 I think we even mentioned it.

Speaker 16 It was a perfect piece.

Speaker 73 And a bunny munching on the pot plant was amusing, it was just cute, it was cute.

Speaker 78 And there were many people who tried eggs.

Speaker 250 We really don't like bunnies and eggs, I'll be honest about it.

Speaker 292 We're like, ah, bunnies and eggs, bunnies and eggs, lots of bunnies and eggs.

Speaker 104 Yeah, it was a bit too much.

Speaker 102 In hindsight, I thought Geraldo rolling the stone away was kind of funny.

Speaker 50 Although, yeah, I'm always

Speaker 178 sacrilegious.

Speaker 46 Yes, yeah, yeah, you're

Speaker 51 not.

Speaker 236 You're very sensitive, you're very sensitive, and I am.

Speaker 106 I'm very sensitive to it.

Speaker 154 Yeah, it's appreciated.

Speaker 123 Let's see, what else was there?

Speaker 256 There was a chocolate Easter bunny and a chocolate Jesus and Jesus melting the bunny.

Speaker 36 It was the worst one.

Speaker 167 Melting the bunny with a hairdryer.

Speaker 121 I thought it was a great piece, but it was like, I don't quite get it.

Speaker 72 The bunny is melting.

Speaker 46 It was wrong in so many ways.

Speaker 36 It was just

Speaker 44 a screwy piece.

Speaker 175 But Scaramanga, you have this guy, you know, he's just

Speaker 81 one of the more creative guys.

Speaker 106 Oh, yeah, that was scary.

Speaker 123 He keeps doing these great AI videos of us for the podcast awards.

Speaker 224 Do you ever do you even see them?

Speaker 239 He's always tagging us.

Speaker 197 I have not seen one of them.

Speaker 224 Oh, man. He always tags you.

Speaker 30 He must be shadow banned somehow.

Speaker 55 Maybe. He's always tagging Brunetti.

Speaker 24 Come on, Brunetti, let's make the movie.

Speaker 196 Let's do it.

Speaker 24 Like, Scaramanga, Brunetti's never going to make a movie with you.

Speaker 38 And let me just tell you straight up.

Speaker 46 Not going to do it.

Speaker 84 He's not going to make a movie movie to anyone the way he's going.

Speaker 279 No, he won't listen to advice.

Speaker 49 He's missing out.

Speaker 80 He gives out the advice.

Speaker 178 He did give the idea for tip of the day.

Speaker 46 Tip of the day.

Speaker 118 Yeah.

Speaker 36 Well, and there you go.

Speaker 193 He makes no money and he's getting ripped off.

Speaker 18 Yeah, there it goes.

Speaker 81 Yes, but it was voluntarily.

Speaker 53 Yeah, well, there you go.

Speaker 15 He gets a credit.

Speaker 2 We didn't get a credit for O'Reilly's tip of the day.

Speaker 36 Nope.

Speaker 43 It should have said, created by John C. Dvorak.

Speaker 195 No, created by Danny Brunetti.

Speaker 156 That's who should get the credit.

Speaker 76 If he just said it once, that would be okay, but he won't.

Speaker 159 So lots of AI stuff, surprise, surprise.

Speaker 236 Lots of AI stuff.

Speaker 78 Then all that's coming in is AI stuff, AI stuff, tons of AI stuff.

Speaker 35 It's not working, people.

Speaker 65 This is really going to teach kids in school.

Speaker 12 Great.

Speaker 101 We'll have a country of people who can do chocolate bunnies and Jesus being melted with a hair dryer.

Speaker 242 What a future.

Speaker 79 What a future.

Speaker 46 So we do, of course, want to thank Fluff Comet.

Speaker 28 And I think Fluff Comet's a new artist as well.

Speaker 36 No, wait a minute.

Speaker 62 No, no, no, Fluff Commons done a lot.

Speaker 241 Fluff Comet's done a lot.

Speaker 203 A lot of graffiti stuff.

Speaker 256 These are all top-notch artists, whether using AI or not.

Speaker 39 I'm always impressed and we appreciate it.

Speaker 37 Moreover, you can contribute.

Speaker 22 You can be a part of it.

Speaker 195 NoagendaArtGenerator.com, or you can be listening live and refreshing on the fly to see stuff as it pops in.

Speaker 266 And again, on those modern podcast apps, just watch along as the art changes.

Speaker 284 Dreb Scott does that expertly for us every single show, and it's highly appreciated.

Speaker 280 Now on to the treasure part of our time, talent, and treasure, the three T's of value for value, which is the only way it works.

Speaker 69 We'd like to close the loop by reading notes for people.

Speaker 190 We thank everybody $50 and above.

Speaker 39 If you donate $200 for a show, you become an associate executive producer.

Speaker 200 This is an absolutely real credit.

Speaker 164 You can use it anywhere.

Speaker 47 Credits are accepted.

Speaker 203 I got a note from one of our producers.

Speaker 93 He was a little mad.

Speaker 54 He's like, Curry, I don't understand it.

Speaker 254 I became an associate executive producer.

Speaker 47 I'm still not on IMDb.com.

Speaker 36 I was a

Speaker 72 good one.

Speaker 159 We don't do it for you.

Speaker 118 You know,

Speaker 293 you got to do your own account.

Speaker 97 And he's like, oh, and then he emails me back. Ha!

Speaker 74 I'm on it. I'm good to go.

Speaker 36 He's really happy.

Speaker 46 But no, it's not automatic.

Speaker 49 We don't have access to it.

Speaker 149 Like their dog in the show.

Speaker 116 Today, Bill.

Speaker 175 Oh, these guys, let me write write it down and put it in there for you.

Speaker 22 It's like we have access to the API.

Speaker 223 You know, just hit a button and you're in there.

Speaker 189 No.

Speaker 169 So, not only do you get that credit, which you can put yourself on AMDB.com because they recognize that it's a true show business credit.

Speaker 93 We'll read your note.

Speaker 57 Same goes for $300 or above, only then you get the coveted title of executive producer for this episode, and we will read your note.

Speaker 53 We kick it off with Carrie Cates, who's in Gainesville, Texas, $500, and says, ITM, gentlemen, you are the best.

Speaker 90 Keep up the amazing work.

Speaker 279 He wants a dedouching.

Speaker 310 You've been dedouched.

Speaker 36 And along with that, a double-up karma.

Speaker 280 We are happy to oblige.

Speaker 194 You've got.

Speaker 310 Karma.

Speaker 92 Well, Carrie's note was short and sweet, but I think Mike Topser from Fairmont, West Virginia, also $500.

Speaker 33 No jingles, no karma.

Speaker 17 Thanks, John and Adam.

Speaker 119 Mike in Fairmont, West Virginia.

Speaker 1 A beautiful one.

Speaker 35 No jingles, gents.

Speaker 159 Just keep up the good fight.

Speaker 75 From Jared in Edmund, Oklahoma.

Speaker 46 Thank you, Jared.

Speaker 104 And now they start to get longer.

Speaker 11 Starting with Mark Kuchansky and Aurora.

Speaker 14 Aurora.

Speaker 119 Colorado, 348.90.

Speaker 16 This donation of 348.90 should complete my knighthood.

Speaker 278 I'd like to be known as Sir Red Devil, and I'd like Sapporo and Sushi at the round table.

Speaker 175 Can I get a Trump's jobs karma for my son, Ryan?

Speaker 48 And the following jingles.

Speaker 40 She looks like she stinks.

Speaker 18 Do we have that one?

Speaker 172 Yeah, you clipped it.

Speaker 36 You clipped it out.

Speaker 52 But it wasn't stinks.

Speaker 117 Yeah, she looks like she stinks.

Speaker 118 That's exactly what it was.

Speaker 35 Because I can't find it now.

Speaker 165 That's why I'm confused.

Speaker 52 No, it it was something else.

Speaker 2 No, you may have titled something else, but that's what I said.

Speaker 16 She looks like she stinks.

Speaker 177 Followed by due to climate change, which is a sensible combination.

Speaker 128 Thanks for everything you do.

Speaker 127 Here's to four more years.

Speaker 18 Well,

Speaker 252 can you say she looks like she stinks?

Speaker 54 Because I can't.

Speaker 38 I have to.

Speaker 36 I care.

Speaker 18 Okay. All right.

Speaker 117 She looks like she stinks.

Speaker 202 Due to climate change.

Speaker 18 Jobs. There we go.

Speaker 211 Jobs.

Speaker 226 Jobs.

Speaker 311 you've got karma.

Speaker 8 I'm sorry.

Speaker 211 I don't know what happened to it.

Speaker 203 I must have mislabeled it.

Speaker 122 We move on to Joe Dunn, Park City, Utah.

Speaker 39 Ah, a favorite donation number, 333.33.

Speaker 193 ITM, Adam and John, please deduce me.

Speaker 310 You've been deduced.

Speaker 78 Not too long ago, Adam mentioned that he may never go on a ski vacation again.

Speaker 193 Yeah, I'm not going to ski because that's, I'm, you know, I'm going to break something.

Speaker 223 Here in Park City, that kind of thinking is just weird.

Speaker 128 Skiing is a lifelong sport that brings families together while building skills and having fun.

Speaker 152 If you're a skier and want to improve your skills, check out my YouTube channel, Ski Dad TV.

Speaker 143 As an NCAA All-American ski racer and now fully certified ski instructor, I'll show you how to shred and show the joys of being a ski dad.

Speaker 59 I think I saw his, um,

Speaker 36 I think I saw him with his little kid.

Speaker 113 That's truly coincidental.

Speaker 143 I think I came across that video.

Speaker 164 Do you want to touch your hip to the snow while carving?

Speaker 64 No.

Speaker 65 Then check out Ski Dad TV, where you can get the best ski teaching content on YouTube.

Speaker 296 Ski Dad TV, R2D2 Virality Karma, please.

Speaker 159 Says Joe Dunn.

Speaker 158 All right, Joe Dunn. Good job, brother.

Speaker 311 You've got

Speaker 18 karma. I love it.

Speaker 18 Good one.

Speaker 147 Baron Steve Banstra in Nashville, Tennessee.

Speaker 117 330.

Speaker 60 He got upgraded today.

Speaker 46 Yes, nice.

Speaker 66 ITM, gents.

Speaker 192 This donation not only elevates me to Viscount, but also puts me ahead of Dana Brunetti on the NA producer list, according to IMDB and the Mueller Report.

Speaker 218 Steve Banstra, Baron, now Viscount of BNA, Boogity,

Speaker 112 of BNA, whatever BNA is.

Speaker 107 Yes.

Speaker 12 Boogity boogity, jingle, please. Boogity, boogity, boogity, boogie.

Speaker 12 Officer drivers and music tonight. Hold on a moment, thank you for myself and my wife.

Speaker 156 Sir Haggis is in Sarasota, Florida, also 333.33, so he gets an executive producer credit.

Speaker 51 ITM gentlemen, hope all is well.

Speaker 128 This donation is to celebrate two birthdays.

Speaker 36 Firstly, my brother, whose birthday was on 420, Sir Rama Noodles, had his 44th jaunt around the sun.

Speaker 47 I want to wish him a very happy birthday.

Speaker 61 I love you, mate.

Speaker 56 Secondly, and more self-importantly, I am celebrating my 50th journey around said sun.

Speaker 282 So please put Sir Rama Noodles and Sir Haggis on the birthday list.

Speaker 130 You are there.

Speaker 296 I would also like to give a quick shout out to my two boys who are my greatest accomplishment in life.

Speaker 69 So to my Hamish and Ronin, you are my entire world, and I love you so much.

Speaker 51 I couldn't be more proud as a dad to watch you become young men.

Speaker 24 I tried to come up with some witty jingle combo, but I'll just settle on some karma for everyone out there.

Speaker 284 In the immortal words of Bill Hicks, remember, it's just a ride.

Speaker 22 Hugs and kisses, Sir Haggis.

Speaker 165 All right, Sir Haggis. Thank you.

Speaker 311 You've got karma.

Speaker 181 Now we have, we go to the associate executive producers with our first

Speaker 116 donation in that category from a downer named Jack DeAngelis in Emmett, Idaho, 250 bucks.

Speaker 115 And he says, we need a great depression.

Speaker 250 This nation needs to be humbled to be healed.

Speaker 250 That's not true.

Speaker 223 No. God will hear our prayers and heal our land.

Speaker 46 That's how you need to think.

Speaker 1 Brother. Duke, Sir Dr.

Speaker 54 Sharkey, there he is, Jackson, Tennessee.

Speaker 11 Hey, I haven't heard from him forever.

Speaker 236 He's back.

Speaker 194 234.56.

Speaker 280 John Adam, you continue to be the source of sanity in this increasingly insane world.

Speaker 91 Karma of protection.

Speaker 156 As I travel to the

Speaker 252 grand resources.

Speaker 143 The grand resources?

Speaker 53 What's the grand resources?

Speaker 222 I have no idea.

Speaker 36 Okay, Duke.

Speaker 11 Sir, to see the grand resources.

Speaker 236 Oh, to see the grand resources.

Speaker 70 What are the grand resources, I wonder?

Speaker 52 Anyway, he signs off.

Speaker 296 Dukes or Dr.

Speaker 158 Sharky, Lord of Mars.

Speaker 106 He's going to Mars.

Speaker 310 You've got karma.

Speaker 147 Ronin, Colorado, and Colorado Springs 222.22 is a row of ducks.

Speaker 1 Go, Boomers!

Speaker 218 Number one rule for boomers is don't fall down.

Speaker 149 Hello to the nice people of the Antelope Ridge Meetery that

Speaker 245 apparently provided

Speaker 115 his libation for the day that provided the space for our meetup.

Speaker 242 Love you both.

Speaker 31 Mean it.

Speaker 294 And coming in with 204.24, it's Eli the Coffee Guy who says, life imitates art as the movie Conclave is it now at the top of the charts.

Speaker 64 That's right.

Speaker 37 Plus, according to the internet theorist, we only get one more pope before the end is nigh.

Speaker 24 See, he's heard about it.

Speaker 22 Brings to mind the peace dove attacked by a crow at the coronation of Pope Francis.

Speaker 62 I forgot about that.

Speaker 64 Do you remember that?

Speaker 91 The dove was flying and the crow goes.

Speaker 164 That makes nothing but sense.

Speaker 11 I don't remember it.

Speaker 172 There's a lot of

Speaker 292 symbolism going on.

Speaker 290 Still, the world is filled with small miracles.

Speaker 252 RFK bans chemical food dies as Klaus Schwab's resignation from the WEF.

Speaker 120 Please deduce.

Speaker 310 You've been deduced.

Speaker 278 Over seven years, I doubt if you made it yet with 200 bucks, but Adam Curry has said words matter at Park Pocket Versus.

Speaker 78 Did someone tell them that if you say it three times, people remember it?

Speaker 165 Is that what's going on here?

Speaker 12 It could be. Yeah.

Speaker 203 And finally, our last associate executive producer is Trevor Malkinson.

Speaker 37 He's in Courtenay.

Speaker 195 That's in British Columbia,

Speaker 36 Canada.

Speaker 256 And he says, Dear John and Adam, my wife and I have been saying for a while that

Speaker 113 it was time to donate to the show again.

Speaker 203 And then I bought a beer the other day, and my bill was $33.33.

Speaker 36 That's

Speaker 36 gypsed.

Speaker 49 That's one beer in Canada.

Speaker 41 Man, man, that Canadian dollar is devalued.

Speaker 37 Anyway, I knew it was time.

Speaker 54 I'm in Canada, and Trump has many sheeple here, very activated.

Speaker 51 It's both hilarious and pathetic.

Speaker 198 Anyway, thanks for everything you do on the show.

Speaker 296 Can you call out Chuck as a douchebag?

Speaker 211 Douchebag.

Speaker 37 And for jingles, can I please get big, beautiful dumps and the howling dog that sounds like Pink Floyd?

Speaker 46 Cheers, says Trevor on Vancouver Island.

Speaker 7 They did dumps. They call them dumps.
Big, massive dumps.

Speaker 311 We've got.

Speaker 55 And that concludes our executive and associate executive

Speaker 197 executive producers for episode 1758 already.

Speaker 241 Oh, man.

Speaker 282 It's really moving along.

Speaker 171 17 years, 1700 shows.

Speaker 49 My formula is this:

Speaker 314 we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Speaker 86 No sweat off my balls.

Speaker 86 Shut up, sleep.

Speaker 296 Hag Seth. Hag Seth.
I got a couple of Hag Seth clips.

Speaker 180 Can we do a little interregnum first?

Speaker 175 Something I want to do.

Speaker 74 An interregnum.

Speaker 46 An interregnum?

Speaker 41 What exactly is an interregnum?

Speaker 181 It's just a break.

Speaker 84 Okay.

Speaker 31 I ran into this clip while I was going through the archives.

Speaker 22 Our archives, show archives?

Speaker 125 Yeah, our archives.

Speaker 30 The disc of clips.

Speaker 48 The disc.

Speaker 278 And I just ran it because i was looking for something else and i ran into this i didn't realize i forgot all about this this was from uh probably 2017

Speaker 40 uh and i don't even remember it but this is the kind of nuttiness that during the first trump administration this is the kind of screwball story

Speaker 34 That this was amongst the thing where, you know, he watched guerrilla TV and all the bogus nonsense that the media fed us about Trump.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 80 The guerrilla TV was my all-time favorite.

Speaker 218 But this is one that I forgot.

Speaker 13 I don't even remember to be honest about it.

Speaker 178 It was so stupid.

Speaker 222 This clip is the classic

Speaker 66 scream at the sky.

Speaker 280 Oh, is it that time again?

Speaker 238 Here we go.

Speaker 267 Tonight, thousands of peoples in cities across the country will scream helplessly at the sky one year after the election of President Donald Trump.

Speaker 267 The events are being planned on Facebook and Dallas, Boston, New York, Miami, Philly, Austin, and Washington State. In the details section, it reads:

Speaker 267 Rage, rage against the dying of the light, mark the one-year anniversary of the so-called election of the so-called president by joining the national primal scream.

Speaker 267 Howl at the sky, gnash your teeth, bang your drums, and it goes on from there.

Speaker 267 The Dallas event starts at six tonight on the Continental Avenue Pedestrian Bridge, but as the Facebook page itself warns, it will be 48 degrees and rainy outside. Matt, yours for CBS 11 News.

Speaker 37 I remember this.

Speaker 1 I remember it.

Speaker 170 And I'm thinking we might actually have some clips of the screaming, don't we?

Speaker 120 There was, I actually had the clip of the screaming.

Speaker 192 You can look it up.

Speaker 112 I didn't put it on here because it was pretty lame.

Speaker 16 But just people screaming.

Speaker 110 It just wasn't anything more than the scream you just played.

Speaker 117 But it's unbelievable how stupid this

Speaker 104 TDS Trump derangement syndrome was and is.

Speaker 156 Well, we have the science to back it up from JAMA.

Speaker 78 Social networks spread contagion, mental illness.

Speaker 280 It makes nothing but sense to me.

Speaker 111 Well, it's sick.

Speaker 205 No,

Speaker 229 it's sad.

Speaker 76 It's sad that people get so worked up.

Speaker 57 And again, it's still COVID trauma.

Speaker 76 None of this has gone away.

Speaker 90 This was pre-COVID.

Speaker 75 No, but Trump derangement syndrome now is you can do you can trigger anything with anybody now.

Speaker 90 This was pre-COVID.

Speaker 152 I want to remind you that this stands.

Speaker 117 I'm screaming at the sky was pre-COVID.

Speaker 33 Trump watching guerrilla TV was pre-COVID.

Speaker 53 You're right.

Speaker 55 I'm just saying that that still is.

Speaker 188 Okay, never mind.

Speaker 15 You get me. No, I understand what you're saying.

Speaker 218 COVID has created another level.

Speaker 118 Well, you can bring anything in.

Speaker 43 It was pretty bad.

Speaker 244 I want the screaming to come back.

Speaker 227 How do we do that?

Speaker 40 We just reinitiate this.

Speaker 243 This is a reminder.

Speaker 16 Maybe somebody out there will get this thing going again.

Speaker 192 We need to start screaming.

Speaker 131 But it has to be a year anniversary.

Speaker 173 So it would be next

Speaker 106 January, I guess. They do it.

Speaker 284 Well, they can do a scream in.

Speaker 46 A scream in. Yeah.

Speaker 169 I think we should promote that.

Speaker 32 A scream in.

Speaker 46 Scream in.

Speaker 96 A scream in.

Speaker 70 Screaming. A scream in.

Speaker 169 We should probably put that in the concierge level.

Speaker 111 Yes.

Speaker 72 So.

Speaker 272 The bundle, the plus bundle.

Speaker 101 So, as you astutely put in the newsletter, Signal Gate continues.

Speaker 178 Completely stupid.

Speaker 46 The whole thing is just what?

Speaker 35 And so, I went to the source to find out, you know, what exactly is this about?

Speaker 71 Can we get some details? And NPR had the most serious reporting.

Speaker 198 And boy, you know, NPR, they can make a story out of nothing when they have nothing.

Speaker 78 They got nothing, but they made a story out of it anyway.

Speaker 300 It's amazing.

Speaker 315 We're waiting to see how, if at all, President Trump addresses the leadership at the Defense Department.

Speaker 315 In a moment, Democratic Senator Jack Reed calls for a wider investigation of Defense Secretary Pete Hexeth. First, we report on what the White House is doing.

Speaker 138 One U.S. official tells NPR that the search is underway to replace Defense Secretary.

Speaker 74 So they've got sources.

Speaker 78 There's a search underway.

Speaker 97 Deep throat in the White House says so.

Speaker 138 Pete Heckseth publicly, the president is standing behind him after a tumultuous week. Hexeth's office fired some of his aides.

Speaker 138 Then came revelations that the Secretary shared details of impending airstrikes in Yemen again.

Speaker 138 NPR confirmed the second chat on the messaging app Signal, which included Hexeth's wife, his brother, and his personal lawyer.

Speaker 138 The first chat was with top officials and a journalist who was inadvertently included.

Speaker 315 NPR's Quill Lawrence is here to tell us more. Quill, good morning.

Speaker 171 Hey, good morning. Good morning.
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 315 So we'll note that you're reporting this story with our colleague Tom.

Speaker 224 I like what you do with that stuff.

Speaker 290 So now you've got me doing it.

Speaker 49 It's unavoidable.

Speaker 315 NPR's Quill Lawrence is here to tell us more. Quill, good morning.

Speaker 171 Hey, good morning. Good morning.
Hey, good morning.

Speaker 315 So we'll note that you're reporting this story with our colleague Tom Bowman. What are you guys hearing?

Speaker 305 Yeah, a U.S. official told us that the search has begun after this second

Speaker 305 round of headlines about HexF. I should add that the White House has said our anonymous source doesn't know what they're talking about.
But at a Rose Garden event yesterday,

Speaker 36 what?

Speaker 126 That was poorly phrased.

Speaker 242 The anonymous source said they didn't know what they were talking about. No, no, no.

Speaker 77 No, no, no. The White House.

Speaker 53 The White House says our...

Speaker 221 No, I know, but it's the way it was put together to say the structure.

Speaker 173 It's like the measles is

Speaker 177 spreading.

Speaker 169 Disinformation is spreading.

Speaker 229 Yes, I got you.

Speaker 305 Search has begun after this second round of headlines about Hexeth. I should add that the White House has said our anonymous source doesn't know what they're talking about.

Speaker 305 But at a Rose Garden event yesterday, the president stood firmly by Hegseth, at least publicly.

Speaker 316 No, he's doing a great job. It's just fake news.
They just bring up stories. I guess sounds like disgruntled employees.

Speaker 316 You know, he was put there to get rid of a lot of bad people, and that's what he's doing.

Speaker 37 Disgruntled employee.

Speaker 79 You know, so besides bringing back the scream circle, that's a good term for it, actually.

Speaker 171 Not the scream in, but a scream circle.

Speaker 60 I think we should bring that back.

Speaker 46 I like scream circle.

Speaker 92 Disgruntled circle. That's a good show title, too.

Speaker 62 I like it. Yeah.

Speaker 46 Who came up with that?

Speaker 189 NetNed.

Speaker 165 Besides that, disgruntled disgruntled employee.

Speaker 94 You know what disgruntled employees used to do?

Speaker 103 They used to go postal.

Speaker 121 They used to go postal.

Speaker 242 What happened to those guys?

Speaker 36 What happened to those days?

Speaker 315 Quail that phrase disgruntled employees. I think Hegseth used a similar phrase in his public remarks about this and referred to people who were fired in his office.

Speaker 140 What's he talking about?

Speaker 305 Yeah, there were four senior advisors to Hegseth who left in just the past week.

Speaker 305 Former Defense Department spokesman John Elliott resigned last week and then published a quite extraordinary opinion piece calling the past month at the Pentagon a, quote, full-blown meltdown and saying that this infighting is hurting President Trump.

Speaker 305 He served in Trump's first administration and appears to want to continue to serve.

Speaker 305 Three other Pentagon advisors, Colin Carroll, Dan Caldwell, and Darren Selnick, were escorted out of the Pentagon and accused of leaking information to the press.

Speaker 305 They then put out as a trio, the three of them put out a joint statement on X saying that their dismissal was unconscionable and that they haven't even been told what they stand accused of leaking.

Speaker 305 All three of them serve in uniform. They say they understand the importance of information security.
Caldwell and Selnick, notably, are longtime associates of Heg Seth.

Speaker 305 They've worked with him over a decade back to when he was at Concerned Veterans for America policy group.

Speaker 102 So disgruntled employees, their version of going postal is, we're going to write an op-ed in the New York Times.

Speaker 234 This is the military-industrial complex trying to

Speaker 95 worm Hegseth out.

Speaker 24 And he's the final one.

Speaker 219 NPR, they really have nothing.

Speaker 1 They have nothing.

Speaker 315 So I'm trying to figure out what all of this adds up to. The White House does appear to be backing Hegseth, but he's been revealed.

Speaker 315 NPR has confirmed the original New York Times report that there was a second chat group on Signal where he was sharing information about an impending attack.

Speaker 29 So they don't even have a chat group.

Speaker 202 They don't have screenshots like the first time?

Speaker 29 It's just these disgruntled employees who said that in the New York Times. Is that what I'm led to believe here, John?

Speaker 249 I think that's what you're led to believe.

Speaker 305 Yeah, I mean, with the first chat group, it was against Pentagon policy to use Signal for that. There were a lot of security issues with it, discussing details of attacks.

Speaker 205 What's that?

Speaker 17 It's news that it was Pentagon policy not to use Signal when it was the CIA that provided the Signal channels?

Speaker 29 This is news to me?

Speaker 305 Yeah, I mean, with the first chat group, it was against Pentagon policy to use Signal for that.

Speaker 305 There were a lot of security issues with it, discussing details of an attack hours before the bombs hit in Yemen.

Speaker 305 But the people in that chat were the vice president, the Secretary of State, people who would need to know.

Speaker 305 This second group, it appears that Hekseth was just cut and pasting this actionable intelligence from U.S. strikes to his wife.

Speaker 305 I can't think of any conceivable need they would have to know this information.

Speaker 46 I'll be bluntly honest, though.

Speaker 95 If this was Obama or anyone else, we would have been laughing all over.

Speaker 46 It wouldn't have been great.

Speaker 61 These horrible people.

Speaker 21 Impeach them.

Speaker 88 So the guy,

Speaker 40 so his wife is on the signal chat.

Speaker 36 Why doesn't his wife...

Speaker 178 He sleeps with the woman.

Speaker 77 Yeah, and his lawyer.

Speaker 158 He sleeps with his lawyer, too.

Speaker 117 Well, he doesn't sleep with the lawyer.

Speaker 44 Everybody sleeps with a lawyer.

Speaker 175 He might.

Speaker 88 But he sleeps with.

Speaker 147 This is beyond me.

Speaker 40 Now, my understanding, I tried to figure out what was going on here.

Speaker 34 I thought it was like because of his LGBTQ thing.

Speaker 110 But then I saw some analyst on one of the channels going on.

Speaker 116 She said that this is all because Heg Seth was

Speaker 17 one of the influencers telling Trump not to bomb Iran or listen to the...

Speaker 16 the Israelis at all and to get into the negotiations instead of going to war, another war in the Middle East is a bad idea.

Speaker 121 Hegseth was largely responsible, or at least one of the voices in that regard.

Speaker 16 And the Pentagon supposedly is still filled with neocons, and they couldn't put up with this.

Speaker 46 I believe that.

Speaker 171 The thing that I thought was really strange, I don't know if you've

Speaker 143 I'm about halfway through it, is that one of these guys shows up on Tucker the day later, right?

Speaker 72 That one, one of his old associates, Caldwell.

Speaker 195 Yeah, Caldwell.

Speaker 36 What's up with that?

Speaker 45 That's strange.

Speaker 85 And he, well, he makes the claim that it wasn't Hegset

Speaker 34 that fired.

Speaker 117 It was like it was part of a two things happened.

Speaker 89 One, there was a cabal because he says he never had the lie detector test they were threatening everybody with.

Speaker 221 They just rousted three of

Speaker 125 Hegset's old pals who were also against being neocons or they're against the neocons.

Speaker 16 So that may have been a political move.

Speaker 177 and then this elliott guy who was actually really was fired uh he's the one who got the new york times piece i mean it seems unlikely that this would unless it was all schemed out that you're going to get a new york times op-ed uh you know ready to go i mean come on yeah right away i mean if if you and i had to write a the new york times op-ed it'd take us a couple days Yeah, it wouldn't be the next day.

Speaker 104 I mean, I wouldn't take it.

Speaker 115 You could crank one out if you had it already on the edge.

Speaker 168 If we were going to be published in the New York Times, we would take a picture of the public.

Speaker 230 yeah you would take a day or two

Speaker 221 get some work done but it would be this is bull bull crap yeah this is a this i i believe it is i think there's an analyst who said that it was uh bull crap

Speaker 55 that this is all about the neocons trying to you know and it was part of the wesley clark group but you know iran is last i believe it i i believe that for sure so they wanted to bomb iran and it's like this guy's screwing things up yeah he's he's not doing a good job he's he's messing around with the houthies stop it go for the Go for the big cheese.

Speaker 189 So then he goes on Fox and Hagseth is not good at this.

Speaker 113 He doesn't come across confident.

Speaker 279 And then his whole defense is it wasn't confidential to start with, so it doesn't make any difference who I sent it to.

Speaker 47 That's his defense.

Speaker 24 But when Brian Kilmead introduces you in the following manner, you've got to wonder what's really out there in the media space.

Speaker 318 Well, that was President Trump doubling down on his support for Defense Secretary Pete Hakeseth 24 hours ago, denying a New York Times report about sharing sensitive information on another Signal chat called Team Huddle.

Speaker 318 Here to set the record straight himself, the former Secretary, the current Secretary of State, Pete Hagseth, former host right here on Foxy Front.

Speaker 118 Wow.

Speaker 37 How about that? Former,

Speaker 296 and he's going to double down.

Speaker 281 Like, I mean, he is the Secretary of Defense, but he says former Secretary of Defense.

Speaker 68 How does he come up with that?

Speaker 22 How does that happen?

Speaker 81 That's a great catch.

Speaker 318 Here to set the record straight himself,

Speaker 318 the current Secretary of State, Pete Hagseth, former host right here on Fox and Friends.

Speaker 22 Pete, great to see you, Mr.

Speaker 53 Secretary. Great to see you.
Mr.

Speaker 219 Secretary, Mr. Secretary.

Speaker 65 I'm sorry, Mr.

Speaker 38 Secretary.

Speaker 294 I know you're never going to take my call again. You want to answer my text, Mr.

Speaker 271 Secretary.

Speaker 318 So your thoughts on what's been reporting of Team Huddle and the signal chat that the New York Times says took place between you, your wife, and your brother and some others.

Speaker 236 So now Hag Seth is just, I just clipped a little bit of it.

Speaker 93 He's waving his hands, he's smirking, he's sticking his tongue out.

Speaker 189 This is not good, Pete.

Speaker 320 So Brian, if you remember when this all started, the first go-around, because this is the second go-around, right?

Speaker 268 They peddle old stuff, they kick it back up.

Speaker 320 I said repeatedly, no one's texting war plans. You know why I said that? Because I'm in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.

Speaker 320 Just 10 minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things that were ongoing or pending things to

Speaker 36 happen. What?

Speaker 68 What?

Speaker 68 Is there a war pending?

Speaker 1 What's happening?

Speaker 35 Brian, ask him,

Speaker 68 what war plans are you looking at?

Speaker 22 Do you always look at war plans? We have war plans.

Speaker 35 What's it going on?

Speaker 296 Because that's on the regular basis.

Speaker 107 That's the first thing I jump on.

Speaker 92 Yeah, like what sounds coked up or too much coffee.

Speaker 47 Yeah, yeah. You know what it is?

Speaker 150 Gigawatt.

Speaker 320 10 minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things that were ongoing or pending things to happen. Because that's on a regular basis on classified systems.
That's my job for the war.

Speaker 36 Did he say war pending? Let me listen again.

Speaker 320 So Brian, if you remember when this all started, the first go-around, because this is the second go-around, right?

Speaker 268 They peddle old stuff, they kick it back up.

Speaker 320 I said repeatedly, no one's texting war plans. You know why I said that? Because I'm in the bowels of the Pentagon every single day.

Speaker 320 Just 10 minutes ago, I was looking at actual war plans of things that were ongoing or pending things to happen.

Speaker 320 Because that's on a regular basis on classified systems.

Speaker 320 That's my job for for the war fighters for the president United States I look at war plans every single day what was shared over signal then and now however you characterize it was informal unclassified coordinations for media coordination and other things that's what I've said from the beginning at the beginning it was left-wing reporters from the Atlantic who got a hold of it and then wanted wanted to create a problem for the president this is what it's all about trying to get at president trump and his agenda i'm protecting the president don't you see what i'm doing

Speaker 296 I'm protecting President Donald J. Trump.

Speaker 52 By the way, World War III is pending.

Speaker 45 It's just pending.

Speaker 95 It's pending.

Speaker 33 Looking at what war plans is the first thing I say.

Speaker 85 Now, he, you know, heck says

Speaker 104 one of the reasons he was picked because of his military service and the fact that he is media savvy.

Speaker 243 But to watch him go hysterical like this is not media savvy.

Speaker 44 No, at all.

Speaker 119 He has to slow down

Speaker 250 and be calm and be a little more less hysterical.

Speaker 50 He sounds like he's like an old lady. Yeah.

Speaker 102 Said the disgruntled podcasters.

Speaker 154 That's who we are.

Speaker 228 Says the disgruntled podcasters.

Speaker 85 It's just not, it's not a good look.

Speaker 115 He's not.

Speaker 118 Not a good look.

Speaker 289 Somebody should take him aside and say, you know, less coffee.

Speaker 111 It's not a good look.

Speaker 22 have you heard about uh the baby bonuses

Speaker 218 yeah well this is an interesting situation the baby bonuses because all of a sudden now the left is saying this is terrible idea and the whole I hope maybe you have the clips from the view

Speaker 36 no

Speaker 250 no no they condemned them Well, of course.

Speaker 321 The Trump administration is considering ways to encourage more women to get married and have children, including a $5,000 baby bonus.

Speaker 318 Sounds like a good idea to me.

Speaker 321 The money would be offered to every American mother after she gives birth, an incentive aimed at increasing the country's historically low birth rate.

Speaker 196 Do you think they come in with those big checks?

Speaker 277 Good job, mom.

Speaker 321 You know, with those publisher clearing house shit, giant sex confetti, which has declined since 2007. That year, approximately 4.3 million babies were born, compared to 3.6 million last year.

Speaker 321 Since taking office, the administration has made an effort to promote families.

Speaker 160 So let me say very simply, I want more babies in the United States of America.

Speaker 321 Simone Collins is a pro-natalist pushing for ways

Speaker 259 to make it easier for people to have kids.

Speaker 322 As much as I personally love the idea of getting $5,000 for another kid, it's not going to move the needle and it's certainly not going to be enough for parents to decide that they can have that next kid or their first kid.

Speaker 54 Wait, so now the problem is it's not enough.

Speaker 37 Trump's not doing enough.

Speaker 122 What did

Speaker 128 Vice President Harris have?

Speaker 254 Didn't she have 3,000?

Speaker 16 Yeah, it's 3,500 or something.

Speaker 53 Yeah, so it's not enough.

Speaker 36 Now it's great. It's not enough.

Speaker 321 Instead, she says there are simpler and cheaper ways the government can ease the burden on parents, such as loosening regulations on daycare programs and car seats.

Speaker 321 Collins and her husband have submitted several draft executive orders to the White House.

Speaker 181 Loosening regulations on car seats?

Speaker 156 Yeah, you want the ones that kill the baby.

Speaker 36 I don't know.

Speaker 80 How is that?

Speaker 242 Better than $5,000 cash money.

Speaker 32 Sounds to me like there's a lobbying, a lobby going on.

Speaker 193 The baby car seat lobby is getting in on the action here.

Speaker 321 The government can ease the burden on parents, such as loosening regulations on daycare programs and car seats.

Speaker 321 Collins and her husband have submitted several draft executive orders to the White House, including one that would give a National Medal of Motherhood to women with six or more children.

Speaker 322 We don't want to shame or

Speaker 18 coerce her.

Speaker 248 What?

Speaker 14 If she can walk

Speaker 321 to women with six or more children.

Speaker 322 We don't want to shame or coerce anyone into having children. It's really a movement about making it easier for people who really like having kids to have the number of kids they want.

Speaker 77 We have a lot of producers who have eight or nine kids.

Speaker 64 God bless them.

Speaker 64 Yeah.

Speaker 152 I know, we do. Hey, you know what?

Speaker 49 You know what they never complain about?

Speaker 55 You never hear them complain about money.

Speaker 241 I said, we can make it work.

Speaker 36 Look at Laurie.

Speaker 250 The whole hand-me-down thing works fine, too.

Speaker 296 Yeah, hand-me-down and, and you can start a publishing company, can make all the kids work.

Speaker 190 I'm sorry, that's you.

Speaker 36 Put the kids to work.

Speaker 221 Yeah, put your kids to work.

Speaker 293 Yeah.

Speaker 293 Start a home business.

Speaker 37 Have them all working on the assembly line.

Speaker 223 It's the American way.

Speaker 64 You got a farm, you got kids, you need kids to work on the farm.

Speaker 52 I'm I'm all for it.

Speaker 49 I encourage it.

Speaker 271 I will come and give you a baby bonus.

Speaker 51 A big

Speaker 46 medal.

Speaker 102 We should have no agenda medals for that.

Speaker 251 We should. So many ideas.

Speaker 7 Many ideas.

Speaker 10 In general, of course,

Speaker 47 I know we have the clips.

Speaker 124 I'm not going to look them up, but this was a racist idea because what they're really saying is we want more white babies.

Speaker 51 It'll come back again.

Speaker 41 They'll start saying it.

Speaker 153 They're only talking about white babies.

Speaker 244 And they want women to be baby factories.

Speaker 281 We're in the handmade's hail.

Speaker 271 It's coming. It's coming.
It's coming.

Speaker 75 You can bet on it.

Speaker 171 It's coming.

Speaker 195 Good idea.

Speaker 76 I mean, that's what immigration was about.

Speaker 124 That was the Democrat Party idea was, hey, we're not having babies.

Speaker 99 Open the gates.

Speaker 37 Bring them on in.

Speaker 118 They're cheap.

Speaker 90 Whereas the cheapest labor is your own kids.

Speaker 277 They're five bucks a week.

Speaker 165 And I'm serious. I'm not being flippant.

Speaker 252 It's great for kids to be doing stuff around the house.

Speaker 93 If you have a family,

Speaker 219 start a side hustle, have them packing up products.

Speaker 75 That is truly the American way.

Speaker 37 I'm not being flippant, man.

Speaker 315 It's true.

Speaker 22 You're the living example of that.

Speaker 173 Let's play this clip on food poisoning.

Speaker 46 Oh, that's a segue. That's a downer.

Speaker 232 Help us understand just how safe our food is in the U.S.

Speaker 208 Sure. So the U.S.
food supply is...

Speaker 47 Said the British lady.

Speaker 36 Sure.

Speaker 208 Sure. Sure.
So the U.S. food supply is generally considered safe, but foodborne illness is still very common.

Speaker 208 There is the equivalent essentially of one in six Americans getting sick from foodborne illness every year. That's about 48 million cases annually.

Speaker 111 Oh my God, how bad is this?

Speaker 12 By the way,

Speaker 33 yeah, I know she's got vocal Freud

Speaker 95 accent.

Speaker 115 That means everybody, every six years, everybody's gotten food poisoning.

Speaker 95 Yeah, well, no.

Speaker 44 Everybody. No.

Speaker 208 And as you mentioned, there are.

Speaker 149 That's the stat.

Speaker 173 One in six per year.

Speaker 249 So that means every six years,

Speaker 242 everybody will have food poisoning.

Speaker 106 I mean, these are basically statistics.

Speaker 62 Okay.

Speaker 190 Thank you for that lesson.

Speaker 208 There is the equivalent, essentially, of one in six Americans getting sick from foodborne illness illness every year.

Speaker 49 That's about 48 million cases annually.

Speaker 208 And as you mentioned, there are a fraction of those cases that end up with people in the hospital and even about 3,000 people who estimate it to die of foodborne illness every year.

Speaker 208 So there are some things that have improved.

Speaker 208 There are testing methods that have gotten better where you're able to use genetic analysis, whole genome sequencing, to be able to trace back outbreaks to specific sources of food.

Speaker 208 But rates of infection from things like listeria and semonella and E. coli have not improved in the ways that folks were hoping.

Speaker 143 Well, this is very uplifting.

Speaker 203 And you have a second one, which makes it even more fun.

Speaker 36 Well, I'm just saying.

Speaker 249 The food supply in this country is no good.

Speaker 36 Oh, I don't know about that.

Speaker 230 One of the six people.

Speaker 86 There's a new video that's floating around.

Speaker 121 I saw it today.

Speaker 117 It's a fat, a really fat chick, a big fat chick.

Speaker 40 And her thing is to show what she eats all.

Speaker 1 She has big bones.

Speaker 39 Oh, no, this is, Tina finds these all the time.

Speaker 101 Like 400-pound women, and then showing what they eat. And

Speaker 54 it's mesmerizing.

Speaker 89 It is mesmerizing because most of the stuff's coming out of packages.

Speaker 129 All of it. They're always

Speaker 129 tearing open little packs.

Speaker 203 Bags and things with barcodes, all of it.

Speaker 50 Bags of who knows what.

Speaker 86 And they're just gobbling it all down.

Speaker 33 Now, that kind of holds up with another one I saw, an interesting video.

Speaker 218 some black guy

Speaker 104 who was talking about bitching about chicken being watered back with injections, and he's on camera eating raw chicken, and that's all he's doing.

Speaker 36 Well, what could possibly go wrong with that?

Speaker 36 What is wrong with these people?

Speaker 178 But anyway, this is part two of the clip.

Speaker 232 And you report a story about a pretty bad E. coli outbreak that hit 15 states last November.
And the FDA chose not to publicize this outbreak.

Speaker 208 Why?

Speaker 208 So the FDA managed through their investigation to trace the contaminated lettuce back to one farm and one food processor that purchased the lettuce from that grower.

Speaker 208 But the agency didn't disclose who either of those companies were. The FDA said that they were prohibited by federal law from disclosing that information

Speaker 208 and that essentially there wasn't any contaminated lettuce left to buy on the market, so consumers didn't need that information.

Speaker 208 But there are many folks I spoke to who believe the public has a right to know who those companies were.

Speaker 232 The Trump administration has also laid off thousands of workers from the FDA, including almost the entire staff responsible for communicating these outbreaks.

Speaker 194 Oh, there it is.

Speaker 148 You got food poisoning.

Speaker 78 Blame Trump?

Speaker 49 Yeah, it's Trump's fault.

Speaker 232 Are things different under Trump now for the FDA and for food safety?

Speaker 208 Oh, yeah. So these are really significant cuts that have been made to staff working on all sorts of aspects of food safety, including communicating about outbreaks of food.

Speaker 208 They shuttered an entire food safety testing lab in California. And there were also

Speaker 208 almost the entire staff that worked on the safety of imported food. So, there are significant concerns about what that will mean for these programs and the impact on public safety and public health.

Speaker 208 The Trump administration has said that these are cuts that are essentially getting rid of administrative staff,

Speaker 208 that this is sort of waste

Speaker 208 in federal spending, and that public health won't be affected, and communications about outbreaks won't be affected. But these are changes we have not seen the likes of

Speaker 208 in any recent history.

Speaker 300 Ah, we have an epidemic of vocal fries.

Speaker 78 What station was this?

Speaker 236 What broadcast?

Speaker 176 It was one of the local PBS stations.

Speaker 72 Okay, well, probably WAMU, maybe.

Speaker 106 She's probably somebody's wife.

Speaker 154 Yeah, honey, you can do it. You've got a great voice for broadcasting.

Speaker 43 I can do it.

Speaker 57 You've got a great voice for broadcast.

Speaker 84 Bad.

Speaker 56 I do have a couple of tariff things I think we should.

Speaker 1 Oh,

Speaker 80 there's that.

Speaker 89 Oh, you're giving me crap for uplifting stuff.

Speaker 36 Terrorism.

Speaker 241 There we go.

Speaker 166 No, not tariffs, not terrorism.

Speaker 170 Tariffs.

Speaker 150 Oh, tariffs. They said terrorist.

Speaker 43 Terrorists.

Speaker 189 Tariffs, not much happier than terrorism.

Speaker 21 But this clip, I'm glad that this report was put together.

Speaker 236 Let me see, this was

Speaker 103 put this together.

Speaker 167 This is,

Speaker 118 hmm, I think this is also from Euronews, but it was a good report because I've seen these videos.

Speaker 154 There was a whole slew of them for a moment there, probably about two weeks ago when the tariffs just started.

Speaker 198 And it's something we've discussed over the years many times.

Speaker 113 Of course, our thoughts are completely wrong,

Speaker 113 but let's discuss after we talk about the US-China trade war as it took to TikTok.

Speaker 139 The ongoing trade war between the US and China is now all over TikTok, and European fashion houses have found themselves sandwiched somewhere in the middle.

Speaker 139 A bag from a high-end European fashion house, such as Air Mesuy Vuitton Oprada, can cost hundreds of thousands of euros.

Speaker 139 But on TikTok, individuals claiming to be Chinese manufacturers say they are the ones really making these goods.

Speaker 139 Speaking in English and referring to prices in dollars, they appear to be targeting American consumers known for buying these goods.

Speaker 314 For the past more than 30 years, we have been OEM factory for most of the luxury brands around the world. Gucci, Blada, Coach, Louis Vuitton, you name it.
Real OEM factory for those luxury brands.

Speaker 314 We are the same group of people. 30,000 USD.
And do you know how much it costs from us? If you buy from us, only less than one-tenth of its price.

Speaker 139 On their website, AMS lists locations where it produces and manufactures, but does not mention China. The same goes for Louis Vuitton.

Speaker 139 Meanwhile, the EU stipulates that for goods to be labelled made in Europe, their last substantial transformation must occur in the country of production.

Speaker 139 Investigative journalist Noin Me Leclerc told Euroverify that the majority of these TikTok videos in fact display counterfeit products.

Speaker 139 Leclerc added that these videos are being posted as the Chinese government moves towards encouraging counterfeit production in a bid to retaliate against U.S.

Speaker 138 tariffs.

Speaker 139 Despite this, all, the luxury goods industry is shrouded with secrecy and protects the finer details of its supply chain.

Speaker 139 According to experts, luxury brands such as Ralph Lauren and Prada do manufacture in China at stages of the production process.

Speaker 156 So, what they're leading us to believe here is that this is not true,

Speaker 54 that all of these products are made in these countries, in France, and in Italy.

Speaker 196 And the labeling, what they say here is the labeling

Speaker 113 has to be the country of most significant manufacturer.

Speaker 67 Well, I'd say putting the

Speaker 188 gold Lame

Speaker 154 clasp on it that says Prada or Gucci or whatever is probably how they get around that.

Speaker 97 I think you and I are both of the opinion that this is absolutely Chinese crap.

Speaker 18 It's not even crap.

Speaker 21 It's good stuff.

Speaker 87 I've been to China enough.

Speaker 40 I bought, I probably have more Armani stuff that I picked up in various

Speaker 47 Armoni. Armoni, but okay.

Speaker 37 No, it says Armani.

Speaker 33 It's got the real label on there.

Speaker 40 It's dynamite, and it's actually a good product.

Speaker 118 You wear crocs.

Speaker 37 I've never seen you in anything Armani.

Speaker 278 I have never worn crocs in my life.

Speaker 229 Nah, they're Adidas,

Speaker 46 they're knockoffs.

Speaker 66 But no, I'm talking about Armani.

Speaker 47 I'm not talking about the

Speaker 174 shoes. I don't know.

Speaker 221 I'm saying I've never seen you in Armani.

Speaker 69 I'd love to do that.

Speaker 148 No, I have great shirts, shirts, and ties.

Speaker 148 In a tie, I've never seen it.

Speaker 239 You would look great in a tie.

Speaker 40 I have a ton of, I used to collect ties.

Speaker 121 I still have a huge collection of ties. Okay.

Speaker 104 I can take some photos of my collection.

Speaker 18 Please. Anyway.

Speaker 241 Armani.

Speaker 40 You can buy Armani over there, and it's just the price is like two bucks.

Speaker 172 Yeah.

Speaker 62 And they, it's for the shirts. Yeah.

Speaker 249 And with the labels.

Speaker 16 And then they ask, there's also that you can get the tailor-made suits over there, but they, you know, you'd probably talk them into putting an Armani label in there because they probably have them.

Speaker 88 But it's beside

Speaker 17 the whole thing as a joke.

Speaker 88 And Korea is the same way.

Speaker 180 You can go over there and buy all this.

Speaker 121 One time I went to Korea and I bought a bunch of Eddie Bauer stuff as gifts for a bunch of people when I came back.

Speaker 16 And it was all Eddie.

Speaker 249 It just looked like Eddie Bauer stuff to me.

Speaker 12 And they make it all over there and they have a lot of overruns.

Speaker 180 And then they take the overruns and sell them on the street.

Speaker 280 LVMH.

Speaker 169 Now they own a lot of what are these?

Speaker 101 What is LVMH?

Speaker 66 Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy.

Speaker 38 Do you know what their

Speaker 223 net profit was in 2024?

Speaker 177 Some billions of billions?

Speaker 1 13 billion.

Speaker 73 Yeah.

Speaker 159 Because they're making, I mean, this is what I liked about these videos because they show you this stuff.

Speaker 10 It's like, hey, these Nike shoes, two bucks.

Speaker 134 Tell me it's not true. Of course it's true.

Speaker 22 That's how all these, this is the biggest psyop.

Speaker 252 This is the true magic of American marketing is that we have convinced consumers that if it has the brand on it, it's the real deal.

Speaker 82 Well, it is the real deal.

Speaker 74 That's the point.

Speaker 233 But they're marking it up by thousands of percents.

Speaker 180 It's the real deal, and it's marked up

Speaker 249 because it's the real deal.

Speaker 115 If somebody can, you know, bypass the real deal and you get the, you get best price, you get the Chinese price.

Speaker 80 Yeah.

Speaker 129 That thousand dollar deal is like, you know, 50 bucks, 20 bucks, 10.

Speaker 10 And where did COVID start?

Speaker 41 Right there where all the Chinese come in with all these bags under their arm into Italy and they slap the label on.

Speaker 36 They brought

Speaker 36 you. Yeah, of course it's true.

Speaker 18 We remember.

Speaker 81 This is a part of Italy where there's all these Chinese.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 49 Yes.

Speaker 189 And they're always coming over, going back and forth.

Speaker 219 What's that in your bag? Oh, nothing.

Speaker 156 Just a couple million dollars worth of Hermes bags.

Speaker 280 And so, and we discuss this always in the context of Canal Street in New York.

Speaker 292 I don't know if that still exists.

Speaker 73 I think it's still

Speaker 16 what it used to be when I was a kid.

Speaker 16 And then I used to go buy,

Speaker 125 I bought phony watches.

Speaker 73 I have

Speaker 104 somewhat of a collection.

Speaker 178 But there's some killers that are just, you wouldn't know the difference.

Speaker 40 They've got the sweep secondhand.

Speaker 95 I mean, the cheap ones don't own.

Speaker 165 But that to me is a little different.

Speaker 193 A handsome, beautiful Swiss timepiece that you don't own.

Speaker 25 You just pass it on to the next generation.

Speaker 17 So one of my favorite things is a story.

Speaker 104 One of the, I think it was associate publisher of PC Magazine.

Speaker 16 She was, she knew I was always going to

Speaker 34 picking stuff up at

Speaker 147 on Canal Street.

Speaker 278 She said, can you get me a Rolex?

Speaker 98 A nice Rolex.

Speaker 48 I said, what do you want?

Speaker 119 The ones with diamonds all around it.

Speaker 16 So she gave me a description.

Speaker 33 So I went and bought her a ladies' Rolex.

Speaker 16 Beautiful. It had a sweep second.
It was the more expensive ones that had the sweep secondhand.

Speaker 111 So it really looked legit.

Speaker 83 It's got all the stampings on everything.

Speaker 277 But

Speaker 76 that is clearly counterfeiting.

Speaker 43 Let me finish the story.

Speaker 98 So I give her the Rolex.

Speaker 14 Holy crap, this looks like a real Rolex.

Speaker 72 And I said, yeah, very much so.

Speaker 89 She puts it on, and about a week later, she comes up to me.

Speaker 178 She says, Yeah, here's the Rolex back.

Speaker 48 I said, What do you didn't like it?

Speaker 108 She says, No, it was great, except

Speaker 104 I knew it wasn't real, and I didn't feel comfortable wearing it.

Speaker 40 It was just a dance, it was a response I did not expect.

Speaker 53 That's the story?

Speaker 115 Yeah, the story is that people that you can tell them it's the same, say it's the same exact product, the Louis Vuitton bag.

Speaker 175 They would rather, you know,

Speaker 131 buy one, pay the $1,500 instead of $15

Speaker 85 because, you know, it makes them feel more comfortable.

Speaker 31 The whole thing is

Speaker 125 they've been brainwashed.

Speaker 52 So I look at it a little differently.

Speaker 95 And my hope is, I know,

Speaker 236 Don Quixote, I know. My hope is that American consumers, which is what we are, we're all just consumers for the rest of the world, that we look at that and go, huh,

Speaker 193 that's kind of dumb, what I'm doing.

Speaker 17 It's kind of dumb what you're doing.

Speaker 66 You mean by buying bags at all?

Speaker 290 By buying

Speaker 244 non-value for value product just based on status.

Speaker 36 Yeah.

Speaker 45 That's, I mean, it's dumb.

Speaker 35 You know, buy it. I think

Speaker 296 buy a good, solid American product that's made well and looks good.

Speaker 56 I know we have to come up with those products, but eventually.

Speaker 152 We don't have those anymore.

Speaker 54 We have the Pearl Boot Company.

Speaker 156 They're perfect. Don't buy cheap.

Speaker 49 One guy. Well, it's a start.

Speaker 223 One guy is a start. It's one guy.

Speaker 252 Speaking of Rolex as an expensive watches television tip for you, I don't think you can watch it.

Speaker 309 You don't have Apple TV Plus, though, do you?

Speaker 241 No, you don't have that.

Speaker 115 What is it that I should be watching on Apple TV Plus?

Speaker 101 Your friends and neighbors, starring John Ham.

Speaker 48 Is it a good show?

Speaker 154 Very good show.

Speaker 280 Hedge fund manager

Speaker 162 gets fired.

Speaker 203 I'll give you the synopsis.

Speaker 284 Starts stealing from his friends and neighbors.

Speaker 251 And it's John Ham. It's very good.

Speaker 117 He starts stealing?

Speaker 36 Yeah, like

Speaker 172 a cat burglar?

Speaker 153 Well, he just, yeah, like a cat burglar starts stealing, you know, $300,000 watches.

Speaker 59 You know, they won't miss it anyway.

Speaker 117 That might be interesting.

Speaker 235 Yeah, but you have to get Apple TV Plus.

Speaker 70 I don't think that's not something you would get.

Speaker 292 It doesn't feel like a Dvorak channel.

Speaker 243 Apple TV Plus is not happening.

Speaker 171 No, I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 117 Here's already got subscriptions. The Hulu,

Speaker 81 whatever it is, the top level of Hulu,

Speaker 2 so you don't get all these ads.

Speaker 156 Disney Plus, Concierge.

Speaker 115 I don't get Disney Plus. Forget Disney Plus.

Speaker 86 Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon. That's all you need.

Speaker 13 How much more entertainment feeds do you need?

Speaker 12 You don't.

Speaker 144 You don't.

Speaker 282 I'm in total agreement with you.

Speaker 46 Don't need it at all.

Speaker 171 We need to come up with some good American products.

Speaker 55 It's clunky and ugly, but it's American and price right.

Speaker 105 We can't do it anymore.

Speaker 13 I think this whole thing's a pipe dream.

Speaker 22 Here's something right up your alley, though.

Speaker 136 Imagine this.

Speaker 134 Maybe you should watch movies before you vote on them.

Speaker 136 Oscar voters will no longer be able to skip watching some of the nominated movies.

Speaker 167 It's unreal that they were able to before.

Speaker 304 It is just one of the new updated rules announced by the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts, and Sciences.

Speaker 136 Members will now be required to watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar.

Speaker 18 Stop the clip for a second.

Speaker 16 This is a funny clip because

Speaker 2 I guess some steering committee came along and looked at all the movies that watched the awards, won the awards, and said to themselves eventually, did anybody actually watch these films?

Speaker 36 That's exactly what happens.

Speaker 172 How do we?

Speaker 152 Because the movies that have been winning awards suck.

Speaker 136 Members will now be required to watch all nominated films in each category in order to be eligible to vote in the final round of Oscar voting.

Speaker 304 And now it's even Stephen. The Academy also updated its rules to clarify the use of artificial intelligence in movies.

Speaker 304 It says the technology will not disqualify a film from being able to nab an Oscar nomination.

Speaker 55 Buried the lead on that one, too.

Speaker 22 Where's the outrage?

Speaker 87 Scaramanga has a shot.

Speaker 55 He does.

Speaker 22 In the ultra-short movie category of 30 seconds or less, only published ever on X,

Speaker 144 Francisco Scaramanga.

Speaker 52 Yeah, I thought it was interesting.

Speaker 178 Here's a story.

Speaker 278 Play the great China story.

Speaker 107 The great China.

Speaker 187 Earlier today in the Eastern District Court of New York, Linda Sun and her husband, co-defendant Chris Hu, appeared alongside their attorneys for a court conference.

Speaker 187 The polished look couple allegedly earned millions of dollars in kickbacks for their ties to the Chinese regime.

Speaker 187 During the court meeting, a prosecutor revealed that they are finalizing Chinese translations of evidence against Sun.

Speaker 187 Those include text messages, emails, and other communications between Sun and Chinese officials. These materials are expected to be made public during the trial.

Speaker 187 Sun served as New York Governor Kathy Hochl's top aide in charge of Asian affairs. In 2023, Sun was fired for misconduct without specifying reasons.

Speaker 187 Last September, federal law enforcement arrested her and her husband. They now face multiple criminal accounts.

Speaker 187 Sun is accused of acting as an unregistered foreign agent of Communist China, making her case one of the most high-profile cases of its kind.

Speaker 187 The government accuses Sun of furthering Beijing's interests while being a state official, including disclosing internal COVID-related meetings to Chinese diplomats and blocking Taiwanese officials' interactions with two New York governors.

Speaker 187 Images show Sun had attended multiple meetings hosted by China's spy agency and other state entities.

Speaker 23 Yeah, we had that clip.

Speaker 52 We had that story.

Speaker 108 It was always, it was buried.

Speaker 180 This is from NTD.

Speaker 175 Of course, the mainstream media talking about this Kathy Hokle and Governor Cuomo's aide.

Speaker 33 They finally busted her.

Speaker 86 I mean, they really threw the book at her.

Speaker 93 Well, you had a three by three even on this.

Speaker 242 Yeah, but that was a, they haven't followed up at all.

Speaker 233 You want to play one of those, the NBC version from September 2024?

Speaker 221 Sure.

Speaker 295 A former top aide to New York governor Kathy Hokul was arrested today on charges of acting as a secret agent of the Chinese government.

Speaker 295 Chief Justice contributor Jonathan Deans says, following this, and John, according to prosecutors, how did this work?

Speaker 274 Yeah, well, prosecutors say Linda's son betrayed her official office by instead acting on requests of Chinese communist government officials.

Speaker 274 Sun is charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent. Her husband was also arrested today.
He's accused of laundering millions of dollars from China into the U.S.

Speaker 274 The couple pleaded not guilty in federal court. According to the indictment, the scheme went on for years.

Speaker 274 In return, Sun and her her husband were allegedly given business opportunities in China and luxury gifts.

Speaker 274 The FBI says the pair used that money to buy a $4 million home on Long Island and a $2 million condo in Hawaii.

Speaker 274 Governor Hokul's office says Sun was fired last year after evidence of misconduct was discovered Lester.

Speaker 122 Yeah, so it just covered up.

Speaker 110 Just ended right there.

Speaker 64 Yeah, well, Hokul is the queen, man.

Speaker 52 You can't tell you that.

Speaker 36 She's like the red queen.

Speaker 36 You can't go messing with her.

Speaker 290 Before you know it, you get Eric Adams.

Speaker 106 Poor guy.

Speaker 36 All right.

Speaker 36 Two-minute warning.

Speaker 24 Do you have one more clip you want to get in there?

Speaker 112 I think I may have had it.

Speaker 177 Since you mentioned Eric Adams, I may actually have an Eric Adams clip.

Speaker 177 What do we got here?

Speaker 251 Yeah, make sure you stay on the mic, though.

Speaker 108 Here, Rikers Island fiasco.

Speaker 182 And Holman today also criticized New York City officials for blocking the mayor's executive order that gives gives ICE agents access to Rikers Island Jail.

Speaker 187 NTD's Arlene Richards, how's the latest?

Speaker 299 A clash between Mayor Eric Adams and New York City officials has led to a court order on Monday blocking federal agents from access to Rikers Island Jail, where Border Czar Tom Holman says several terrorist gang members are being held.

Speaker 323 You got the city council filing a lawsuit to shut down our memorandum of understanding the executive order he signed to get us in Rikers Island.

Speaker 299 A New York judge ordered city officials to temporarily halt the plan allowing federal immigration agents to operate within the Rikers Island jail complex.

Speaker 299 Judge Mary Rosato barred the city from taking any steps toward negotiating, signing, or implementing any memorandum of understanding with the federal government before an April 25th hearing in a suit challenging the plan.

Speaker 299 Adams said years ago, City Council Member Robert Holden suggested ICE presence at Rikers Island.

Speaker 214 What was interesting?

Speaker 186 The first person that brought that to me about

Speaker 186 utilizing Rikers

Speaker 186 ICE on Rikers was Councilman Holden.

Speaker 186 This is

Speaker 184 before this administration took office.

Speaker 186 Holden reached out.

Speaker 315 Matter of fact, I have a few texts. What is wrong with him?

Speaker 36 He can't get three words out at the same time.

Speaker 118 Concurrently.

Speaker 22 Rikers

Speaker 186 ICE on on Rikes was Councilman Holden. This is before this administration took office.
Holden reached out.

Speaker 186 As a matter of fact, I have a few text messages from him that say, listen, why aren't we doing this?

Speaker 299 Holman said with Adams' permission, immigration and customs agents were able to successfully collaborate with state and local law enforcement, leading to the indictment of 27 suspected members of Venezuelan gang Trende Aragua.

Speaker 36 Aragua Aragu.

Speaker 73 Aragua.

Speaker 81 This is out of control,

Speaker 83 this

Speaker 146 resistance

Speaker 129 by the Democrats.

Speaker 31 Now they want the Rikers, the guys that are in there, they can just go grab them, but no, no, no.

Speaker 82 Unbelievable. This part two, dude.

Speaker 323 We sent a strong message to Trende Agua. We're going to keep doing this through every TDA member, MS-13 members removed from the country.

Speaker 299 Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on Tuesday that 27 alleged members or affiliates of Trende Aragua had been charged under the RICO statute, a law with widespread application that was historically used to break up a mob organization.

Speaker 299 ICE agents previously had a presence on Rikers Island, but they were banned from operating there in 2014 under New York City's sanctuary laws.

Speaker 299 In February, Adams announced he would allow agents to return to Rikers to assist with gang and drug-related investigations.

Speaker 299 Council members in their lawsuit accused Adams of agreeing to plan as a way to pay off the Trump administration in exchange for dropping criminal charges against him.

Speaker 292 Oh, man, they're still doing that.

Speaker 77 It's all no good.

Speaker 254 This is not a good way to go out.

Speaker 14 Oh, well,

Speaker 242 you mean the show?

Speaker 148 The show, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 11 Oh, you mean anything funny?

Speaker 325 Isofano says tattoos are cool. She's just not a long-term commitment kind of girl.
So a few years ago, she thought, what's the worst that could happen?

Speaker 324 Little did I know that almost three years later, my silly chicken on a skateboard tattoo would still be on my upper arm.

Speaker 214 Ouch.

Speaker 206 Emily Kager got her ephemeral tattoo in 2022. She's the proud owner of two dogs, Shaggy Golden Doodles.
And she thought, why not get one in space with an astronaut?

Speaker 206 And let's even throw a few stars around them.

Speaker 325 I actually didn't even see the final design until the day of which at the time felt fine because i wasn't expecting it to stick around forever and yet kager's space dog is also still around almost three years later she says she recently had to cover it in a foreign bathhouse where exposed tattoos are not permitted well not every

Speaker 46 Cheval.

Speaker 36 I knew it had something to do with a horse.

Speaker 121 Historical British, also the title of James and Charles Stuart, pretenders to the English throne.

Speaker 22 So this is our one French guy.

Speaker 164 He says, please give

Speaker 230 this is it.

Speaker 201 Repenting.

Speaker 87 Fuck. Is he talking about his wife?

Speaker 33 His wife being his father? I don't know.

Speaker 89 I think so.

Speaker 194 Repenting sufficiently to free the French people from the grip of EU

Speaker 197 tyranny.

Speaker 196 If his demons can be cast out, he might even let Marine Le Pen have a fair election as next president.

Speaker 63 Wee, we, we, all z-wee, home.
