1749 - "Gynocracy"

Speaker 1 Wow, that's a that is a deadpool.

Speaker 4 Adam Curry, John C.

Speaker 5 Dvorak.

Speaker 6 It's Sunday, March 23rd, 2025. This is your award-winning Gilmore Nation Media Assassination episode 1749.

Speaker 8 This is no agenda.

Speaker 10 Combating contagion and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country, right here in FEMA region number six.

Speaker 14 In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Speaker 17 And from northern Silicon Valley, where we're saying head for the hills.

Speaker 20 They're going to deregulate ham radio.

Speaker 21 I'm John C. DeBorak.

Speaker 6 It's Crack Bottom Bookkills in the morning.

Speaker 23 You know, I saw that.

Speaker 18 Was that the video?

Speaker 26 Did you see the video of that guy talking about it?

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 29 You know,

Speaker 2 I would have clipped it, but the guy's so verbose, blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 31 Well, not just that, but it's a 10-minute video.

Speaker 34 At eight minutes, he says, what does this all mean?

Speaker 15 I don't know.

Speaker 14 Exactly.

Speaker 35 It was stupid.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Why are you killing us with this?

Speaker 38 It was the worst kind of clickbait ever.

Speaker 12 Like, what the new FCC means for ham radio.

Speaker 44 I'm like, oh, man, it's either really good or really bad.

Speaker 45 And

Speaker 47 I am thinking, though, that it may be bad because

Speaker 48 Starlink is appealing to the FCC for more licensed spectrum.

Speaker 50 And that usually comes from the ham boys.

Speaker 52 Yeah, they always steal it from the hams.

Speaker 54 Like, hey, you know, there's a command over here nobody seems to be using.

Speaker 58 Yeah, never mind that the hams finally did a good job in Western North Carolina.

Speaker 12 Did a great job there.

Speaker 2 It was good. Yeah, somebody had to.

Speaker 61 There was no communications whatsoever.

Speaker 63 No.

Speaker 64 And

Speaker 66 you got the Star Lake, you haven't got no power. What difference does it make?

Speaker 68 There were solar panels.

Speaker 69 Solar panels to the rescue.

Speaker 70 Well, speaking of such,

Speaker 71 I think in our

Speaker 40 more than 17 years of history, we have never gotten this one right.

Speaker 72 We always forget, and we always remind ourselves to do better next year.

Speaker 12 Once again, we forgot.

Speaker 77 The Pacific Park Ferris wheel over on the Santa Monica Pier joined other landmarks across the world today in going dark for one hour to mark Earth Hour 2025.

Speaker 77 This would join the Empire State Building in New York, some landmarks in Paris and Greece, Rome, China, Rio's Christ the Redeemer, and so many others across the world.

Speaker 78 The hour is being called the biggest hour for planet. Biggest.

Speaker 77 And it meant to unify and unite millions of people around the world in celebrating our planet.

Speaker 81 We were not unified with millions of people around the world once again.

Speaker 69 I am so disappointed in us.

Speaker 66 Even the local news doesn't cover this.

Speaker 83 No, of course not.

Speaker 84 I'm in California where you'd think this would be covered.

Speaker 45 It feels like the climate change thing is kind of falling away.

Speaker 84 It would make a comeback.

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 58 Europe is now

Speaker 88 one of the three legs of

Speaker 89 the three-legged stool.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 1 What's the other two legs?

Speaker 70 Well,

Speaker 60 that would require me to play Queen Ursula.

Speaker 92 I don't know if you want to start with her right off the bat.

Speaker 94 Well, let's take a chance.

Speaker 81 Okay.

Speaker 18 Well, the Starfleet Chamber over there.

Speaker 80 Was it Starfleet Command?

Speaker 83 What was the.

Speaker 96 one that's in Star Wars, whatever that thing was, the giant?

Speaker 12 The Death Star?

Speaker 97 Yeah, that's what it is. The EU represents the Death Star.

Speaker 53 There you go.

Speaker 99 They nailed it.

Speaker 100 Yes, the Death Star had a meeting.

Speaker 45 Then they all got together. And

Speaker 33 here is Queen Urshela bringing us a report.

Speaker 24 And this is what they have decided for the 340 million people of Europe.

Speaker 104 Now, it's only two weeks after we last met that you, Antonio, have got time for another meetup. But I see her again today.

Speaker 104 I think it was a very productive meeting.

Speaker 105 We discussed that.

Speaker 89 That's all she does, by the way.

Speaker 106 What does she do for a living?

Speaker 87 She has productive meetings.

Speaker 101 And she gets her hair done a lot.

Speaker 107 Yeah, I mean, as a hair guy,

Speaker 108 I know what it takes to get that helmet of hair of hers done every single morning.

Speaker 72 She must have someone on staff to do that.

Speaker 95 Or two.

Speaker 72 Come, Queen Ursula, let me give you a blowout.

Speaker 104 Competitiveness, and I presented our competitiveness compass with a competitiveness compass! Clean industrial deal.

Speaker 15 Ah, yeah, here it is, clean industrial deal.

Speaker 104 And we discussed the three important cross-cutting topics. The first is energy, the second is simplification, the famous omnibuses.
And the third is the savings and investment union.

Speaker 104 And I think it was a very interesting debate because it was clear

Speaker 104 when looking at the energy prices.

Speaker 14 Oh, that the main answer.

Speaker 66 What is this cross-cutting thing she's talking about?

Speaker 82 She said cross-cutting.

Speaker 72 Yeah, no, that's in the that's in the last clip.

Speaker 48 These aren't too long, actually.

Speaker 23 No, she said it in this clip.

Speaker 33 I know, but she's going to explain it in the last clip.

Speaker 113 She's explaining cross-cutting? Yes.

Speaker 114 Yes. Is it like intersectional?

Speaker 116 Totally.

Speaker 108 And remember, she also threw out an omnibus.

Speaker 81 So pay attention.

Speaker 104 When looking at the energy prices,

Speaker 104 that the main answer to reduce energy prices is

Speaker 12 to go more

Speaker 104 into the low carbon energies, that is nuclear and renewables.

Speaker 83 I mean, Germany did to the Germans.

Speaker 12 Germany just got rid of all of the nuclear.

Speaker 118 Bring it back, boys.

Speaker 104 Because it is the fossil fuels that we import that are the price driver.

Speaker 104 The second point, the omnibus indeed strong support, not only to have one, but to have a whole fleet of omnibuses.

Speaker 14 What?

Speaker 82 A whole fleet of.

Speaker 65 Does she think an omnibus is actually a physical bus?

Speaker 55 Like

Speaker 55 something you drive, and there's, hey, get in the omnibus.

Speaker 122 Okay, how many people can it hold?

Speaker 15 The wheels on the omnibus go round and round, round and round.

Speaker 76 Oh, the omnibus.

Speaker 47 Oh, now there's an end of show mix.

Speaker 15 So the omnibus is a big spending bill, and it sounds like they're going to have a whole fleet of them.

Speaker 23 Good luck, EU peoples.

Speaker 72 And then, of course, there's the, this is the most interesting one, which I'm still trying to figure it out.

Speaker 60 I looked at their explanation.

Speaker 58 They have an explainer of this.

Speaker 60 But you tell me what this means.

Speaker 74 And I'm just going to set it up by saying, I think they're going to take your money.

Speaker 104 And I want to reflect very briefly on the third element: the savings and investment union.

Speaker 127 Savings and investment union.

Speaker 104 Here is

Speaker 104 very interesting that we are in Europe world champion what savings is concerned.

Speaker 104 Per year, 1.4 billion euros are being saved, mostly on bank accounts, while in comparison, for example, the American households save 800

Speaker 128 billion.

Speaker 41 Yeah, so that's a trillion.

Speaker 104 And it is

Speaker 104 not the European market that benefits from being the world champion in savings, but it is mostly other markets, specifically the American market. Why?

Speaker 12 Well, here's the Apple Forum. Why? Why?

Speaker 71 Here's the Appaphora.

Speaker 19 Why?

Speaker 129 Because there's nothing to invest in.

Speaker 74 We've got all the cool companies in the cool stock market.

Speaker 14 We've got Silicon Valley, AI, Machine Learning, and Quantum.

Speaker 104 But it is is mostly other markets, specifically the American market. Why?

Speaker 104 Because

Speaker 104 the European capital market is still fragmented, is complicated, and is slower.

Speaker 104 And the Savings and Investment Union has as a goal that the citizens get more and better return on their money.

Speaker 14 Whoa!

Speaker 83 This is good.

Speaker 12 The Savings and Investment Union means that if you invest in their stuff, you get better returns.

Speaker 104 But also that the startups, the businesses have access to the much-needed capital. And the capital will go where the business case is.
In other words, we have to make sure that

Speaker 104 this fragmented market turns into one savings and investment union

Speaker 104 with one set of rules where you can everywhere have the same entry point.

Speaker 104 This makes it then interesting to allocate the money here in the European Union, and this was one of the main focus in our discussion.

Speaker 132 Now, how do you parse what she just said, the savings investment union?

Speaker 71 What can that possibly mean?

Speaker 61 I think she means that they want to create a giant mutual fund.

Speaker 57 Yeah, based on war.

Speaker 36 And they want everyone to put their money into this thing.

Speaker 96 And

Speaker 61 it's going to be divvied up.

Speaker 134 amongst all these companies that they're going to decide upon.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 66 And then they're going to cash, they're going to produce profits which will be returned to the quote-unquote investors, the savers

Speaker 52 in some form that will be better than normal interest rates.

Speaker 115 Yes.

Speaker 140 So take your money out of America and invest it in Europe because they're doing good things with your money.

Speaker 2 Yeah.

Speaker 3 Although there's no track record whatsoever, so it should be pig in a poke is what we used to say.

Speaker 25 So now she gets across that, all the slices and the horizontals.

Speaker 108 And it's part of what I just see is central planning across all industries.

Speaker 104 There's another point. It's not only the cross-cutting topics that

Speaker 104 we have been discussing, but we also look now systematically

Speaker 104 to one sector after the next. We started with the clean industrial deal, that is the energy-intensive industry and the cleantech industry.

Speaker 87 The cleantech industry has never made any money anywhere.

Speaker 40 I mean, cleantech,

Speaker 83 what is cleantech?

Speaker 82 Batteries? Windmills.

Speaker 144 Windmills.

Speaker 104 Industry and the cleantech industry.

Speaker 104 We have done the strategic dialogue with the automotive industry with an action plan.

Speaker 104 We've done the strategic.

Speaker 120 There's an action plan.

Speaker 74 That's a Ron Bloomism.

Speaker 145 We have an action plan for you investors.

Speaker 109 We're going to make more money.

Speaker 104 We've done the strategic dialogue with the steel industry, also with an action plan. And now the next one is the chemical industry that will follow.

Speaker 23 Cyclone B for everybody.

Speaker 104 The principle is here that we are very clearly sticking to our goals, for example, climate neutrality by 2050,

Speaker 104 but that we accompany the sector on the way towards the goals to see where we can support, adapt, flexibilize, be better.

Speaker 53 Flexibilize.

Speaker 18 Did she say flexibilize?

Speaker 14 She sure did.

Speaker 104 To see where we can support, adapt, flexibilize, be better.

Speaker 57 Flexibilize.

Speaker 86 Oh, yeah, baby.

Speaker 104 This is a huge transformation that the sectors are undergoing, and therefore

Speaker 104 this is a journey that we're doing together.

Speaker 14 Yeah. A journey.
A journey.

Speaker 62 How's that a huge transformation?

Speaker 54 What's huge about it?

Speaker 50 Because they're doing it together

Speaker 146 as a union.

Speaker 70 They're completing the project.

Speaker 44 Completing the project.

Speaker 45 By the way,

Speaker 72 on the last show, she was saying,

Speaker 108 in order to avoid war, you have to prepare for war.

Speaker 99 So, what a lot. A lot of

Speaker 21 war armaments.

Speaker 72 Yeah, well, people emailed me, a lot of people, and said this is really

Speaker 147 resembles the art of war from Sun Tzu, and also like some Greek stuff.

Speaker 45 Now, here, a fourth-century Roman writer, pubilis vegetus renatus,

Speaker 148 to prepare for war,

Speaker 110 to have peace, you need to prepare for war.

Speaker 72 Yeah, and they never had any battles, those guys sounds good to me.

Speaker 42 Well, they're going to have the big meetup in The Hague in June.

Speaker 70 That's when our guy, Mark Rutter, will be doing, he'll have a booth and he'll be

Speaker 89 booth babes and he'll be

Speaker 5 kissing booths.

Speaker 100 He'll be selling stuff on our behalf.

Speaker 40 Now,

Speaker 156 None of this is good.

Speaker 109 None of it.

Speaker 136 So.

Speaker 100 And then it seems like, I'm not quite sure if it's a buckling or if there's some backroom talks taking place, but Queen Ursula also said she's going to delay the retaliatory tariffs.

Speaker 158 Also on the agenda was Europe's need to boost competitiveness and innovation amid sluggish growth and the specter of a trade war triggered by U.S.

Speaker 158 President President Donald Trump's tariff announcements.

Speaker 148 They have tariffs on us, so who started the war is questionable.

Speaker 158 Earlier on, the EU said it was delaying until mid-April retaliatory tariffs against sector-specific targets in the U.S.

Speaker 158 EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the decision was made to allow for more negotiations with the White House.

Speaker 104 We are, in principle, opposed to tariffs. We think that tariffs.

Speaker 119 Why are you doing it?

Speaker 83 Thank you.

Speaker 41 Thank you.

Speaker 149 Why do you have tariffs if you're a principle against tariffs?

Speaker 158 With the White House.

Speaker 104 We are in principle opposed to tariffs. We think that tariffs are bad.
They are like Texas.

Speaker 104 They are bad for consumers. They are bad for business.

Speaker 119 They are like Texas.

Speaker 119 It's like Texas.

Speaker 14 It's like Texas.

Speaker 78 Hi, it's like Texas.

Speaker 104 They are like Texas.

Speaker 104 They are bad for consumers. They are bad for business on both sides of the Atlantic, without any question.

Speaker 104 We are in active discussion with the US administration on this issue and I can confirm that we decided to adjust the timing of the entry into force of tariffs.

Speaker 104 The impact of our response does not change.

Speaker 104 Okay.

Speaker 72 So yeah, I don't understand why she's saying they're bad, it's bad for everybody, they're just like Texas.

Speaker 60 But yet they have them.

Speaker 130 I don't know.

Speaker 147 It's all very baffling to me.

Speaker 126 And the silence of the Europeans is just deafening.

Speaker 103 I don't think they care anymore.

Speaker 123 I think the Europeans, just whatever.

Speaker 163 Let it go.

Speaker 164 Well, it could be the bad coverage.

Speaker 107 I mean,

Speaker 87 there's nothing.

Speaker 152 It's just word salad.

Speaker 102 They'll just go, oh, yeah, we're going to do this, something union.

Speaker 119 Oh, yeah, a fiscal union.

Speaker 102 We'll have a green industrial green, industrial deal, clean industrial deal.

Speaker 58 Industry is never clean. It's dirty.

Speaker 98 It's just dirty.

Speaker 4 So

Speaker 152 there you go. Aren't you glad you asked?

Speaker 52 I always enjoy listening to her.

Speaker 88 It's always better to watch her.

Speaker 160 She is level twerp, honestly.

Speaker 168 She's a small woman, do we know? Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 169 She's very tiny.

Speaker 170 She's petite.

Speaker 171 Very petite.

Speaker 21 Napoleon complex.

Speaker 33 So it seems

Speaker 123 that as the Democrat Party in the United States is in total disarray with numbers through the basement, everyone's just resorting to

Speaker 23 Nazis

Speaker 159 and stuff like that with their pals in the media.

Speaker 58 And it's wearing on me, John.

Speaker 72 I got to be honest.

Speaker 87 It's getting tired.

Speaker 86 It's getting tired.

Speaker 174 It's like, how many years do we have to go through this?

Speaker 175 I mean,

Speaker 56 these people are delusional.

Speaker 12 I'll start start us off with

Speaker 47 Chuck Schumer, Senator Chuck Schumer from New York on the view, because that's where you go to talk to your delusional dams.

Speaker 176 The Republican Party is a different kettle of fish than it used to be. And that's why we're fighting them so

Speaker 14 that they can be a fish.

Speaker 78 Yes, it's a different kettle of fish.

Speaker 151 Where does that come from, kettle of fish?

Speaker 141 It's a different kettle of fish.

Speaker 178 Yes, it's different. I mean, it's,

Speaker 98 I don't know

Speaker 21 why that even became a phrase.

Speaker 176 It's a different kettle.

Speaker 95 Unless Unless it's a different pot of stew.

Speaker 61 It's a different casoulet.

Speaker 89 Yes, casoulet.

Speaker 52 It's a different bean salad. It's a different.
I mean, there's a lot of things.

Speaker 82 Why kettle of fish?

Speaker 98 Who makes a kettle, by the way, of fish?

Speaker 179 Most people saute the fish.

Speaker 176 It's a different kettle of fish than it used to be. And that's why we're fighting them so hard.
They are controlled by a small group of wealthy, greedy people. And you know what their attitude is?

Speaker 138 I made my money all by myself.

Speaker 176 How dare your government take my money from me? I don't want to pay taxes. Or I built my company with my bare hands.

Speaker 176 How dare your government tell me how I should treat my customers, my the land and water that I own,

Speaker 176 or my employees?

Speaker 12 They're planning them off.

Speaker 176 Government's a barrier to people, the barrier to stop them from doing things. They want to destroy it.
We are not letting them do it, and we're united.

Speaker 144 Okay, all right.

Speaker 23 Yeah, we're united. Woo!

Speaker 39 Yeah.

Speaker 17 I have a.

Speaker 17 You just need to play that delusional clip?

Speaker 36 I have to play this then.

Speaker 97 This is

Speaker 182 Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 150 Oh, yes.

Speaker 49 Yes. I think that's a good idea.

Speaker 64 She went on an

Speaker 184 Irish talk show.

Speaker 113 And talk about delusional.

Speaker 137 I'd like to know

Speaker 2 where do you get this

Speaker 65 perspective?

Speaker 186 You know, a lot of people did vote for him.

Speaker 185 Yes.

Speaker 188 Do you accept their

Speaker 185 right to do that and their opinion opinion of them?

Speaker 7 Well, I respect their right to do that.

Speaker 7 I question why, the first time in American history, a president has won every swing state and is also best friends, and his largest donor was a man who owns and runs the internet.

Speaker 118 Is that Al Gore?

Speaker 140 Oh, no, he just invented it.

Speaker 68 So Elon owns the internet.

Speaker 58 Yeah, this is kind of out there, Madame O'Donnell.

Speaker 7 So I would hope that that would be investigated and that we would see whether or not it was an anomaly or something else that happened on election night in America when Kamala Harris was filling up stadiums with people who supported her.

Speaker 7 And Donald Trump was not able to do that.

Speaker 7 So it's curious to me. And as an American and a believer in democracy, I would hope that we would be able to look at all of the reasons why this happened in our country.

Speaker 113 So for the first time in history,

Speaker 54 well, for one thing, swing states vary from election to election.

Speaker 189 But Ronald Reagan won every swing state, if there were any at the time.

Speaker 94 I think he won every state except Minnesota.

Speaker 61 Or I'm sorry, except Massachusetts.

Speaker 89 And so he would have won every swing state.

Speaker 135 And I think this is very common to win every swing state.

Speaker 95 But

Speaker 14 what is wrong with her?

Speaker 96 Well, the guy who owns the internet or runs it.

Speaker 120 What did she say? It doesn't make any sense at all.

Speaker 154 um i watched the whole interview actually

Speaker 44 and uh no she is uh renouncing her u.s citizenship she has applied for irish citizenship

Speaker 192 you don't have to you know if you're irish you don't have to renounce the u.s citizenship that's a symbolic gesture if she does it

Speaker 96 Because I know plenty of guys,

Speaker 66 our joke writer, our official joke writer, Marty Higgins, has got an Irish passport because he's Irish.

Speaker 25 Is Marty even alive?

Speaker 148 Where's his jokes?

Speaker 89 Yeah,

Speaker 148 Where's his jokes, man?

Speaker 108 Well, the way I understood it is she's renouncing her citizenship, but yet she ends with our country.

Speaker 191 So I don't know exactly what she wants,

Speaker 48 but I pulled one other clip from earlier in the interview, which, you know, this is the work we do on your no agenda show.

Speaker 191 And this is,

Speaker 75 here's her answering why she left.

Speaker 72 And it may be even more puzzling than what she just said in this clip.

Speaker 195 You suck out the last Trump presidency.

Speaker 7 Heritage Foundation put out and it detailed what they wanted to do.

Speaker 172 And I read the whole thing

Speaker 92 and besides it being very tedious, clearly it was about 80 pages run through chat GPT.

Speaker 48 Everything was flowery.

Speaker 76 But there wasn't anything really crazy in there that I can recall.

Speaker 7 And I felt that anyone who read that

Speaker 7 would not be able to sleep as an American.

Speaker 70 I was able to sleep, John.

Speaker 37 What type of stuff was in there? Well,

Speaker 193 I slept just fine.

Speaker 41 I was like, oh, oh, no.

Speaker 72 I mean, the stuff that was in there was, yeah, closing the Department of Education and sending it back to the States.

Speaker 28 I still slept okay.

Speaker 7 Well, gutting all of the social programs, as he has been doing. Just the other day, he

Speaker 7 disbanded the Department of Education.

Speaker 36 He wanted to say disemboweled.

Speaker 3 Did you notice that? Yes.

Speaker 73 Is the Department of Education a social service?

Speaker 192 I would say if it's anything, it has to be a social service because it does nothing else about, does nothing about education.

Speaker 98 So what else could it be?

Speaker 7 And I have a child who has autism.

Speaker 7 And that child will be...

Speaker 74 Oh, Trump hates autistic kids.

Speaker 18 He hates them.

Speaker 112 He hates them so much he wants to figure out why there's so many of them.

Speaker 7 Denied services and many, many autistic children because the funding for these programs for special needs children comes from the federal government as well as the states. Never used to.

Speaker 7 And it's going to be disastrous

Speaker 53 for children on the stage. I would just stop the clip.

Speaker 36 So when I was a kid,

Speaker 66 I went through my entire education, including a degree from Berkeley.

Speaker 136 Yes.

Speaker 66 Without the Department of Education existing,

Speaker 137 which it only became in play in 1980, 1979, 1980.

Speaker 53 Yes.

Speaker 94 So I went through the whole thing.

Speaker 61 We had special education.

Speaker 52 We had programs for people that had special needs.

Speaker 134 It was always going on.

Speaker 62 And the quality of the education was better back then.

Speaker 36 In fact, when I went to the University of California, which still galls all my kids, I didn't pay anything.

Speaker 135 It was free.

Speaker 199 I was a California resident.

Speaker 200 I qualified to get in.

Speaker 201 I had a high SAT score.

Speaker 52 And I waltzed right in.

Speaker 36 Now it costs like $70,000 a year.

Speaker 21 What changed?

Speaker 74 Do they have an endowment?

Speaker 49 The Cal Berkeley? They must have a shared.

Speaker 164 Sure, they do.

Speaker 8 All these big schools do.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 47 I wonder how big it is. It must be huge.

Speaker 87 It's huge.

Speaker 95 It's not as big as.

Speaker 54 The big one is Harvard.

Speaker 67 It's huge.

Speaker 5 And it's into multi-billions.

Speaker 202 Well,

Speaker 110 even though she says it comes from the federal government as well as the states, but that was her reason to leave the country.

Speaker 7 For these programs for special needs children comes from the federal government as well as the states. And it's going to be disastrous for children on the spectrum.
And that was terrifying.

Speaker 7 But the biggest reason that it was different than the first time he was in office is because of the Supreme Court

Speaker 7 giving him ultimate power, the powers of a king or a monarch. And that's not what the United States is all about.
And it's a terrifying prospect.

Speaker 7 And in fact, what has happened since he's taken office has been terrifying, I think, for the world and definitely for the United States of America.

Speaker 140 Yeah.

Speaker 47 Could everyone who's terrified please raise their hand without talking?

Speaker 204 You know,

Speaker 205 I don't understand.

Speaker 74 I find it kind of sad.

Speaker 206 Although it's great for this talk show.

Speaker 116 I've never heard of this talk show. I'm going to watch this talk show.

Speaker 68 Yeah, the talk show is interesting.

Speaker 152 So

Speaker 62 if she leaves. It's kind of baffling how somebody gets themselves worked up into something.

Speaker 207 You see it all the time.

Speaker 12 Well, I mean, no, hold on.

Speaker 42 Rosie O'Donnell is special because she's kind of become President Trump's punching bag throughout the years.

Speaker 53 It just

Speaker 106 asked for it. Yeah.

Speaker 34 Well, I mean, the thing is.

Speaker 96 He's not doing anything to her.

Speaker 60 No, the thing is, comedians always like to make someone else or something else their punchline, but when they're a punchline themselves, oh, step back.

Speaker 124 I think that's what's going on here.

Speaker 47 And it's, yeah,

Speaker 123 I'm sad to see her so angry.

Speaker 92 I knew her when she was Rosie over there at

Speaker 123 what was the place in West Orange in New Jersey?

Speaker 153 Chuckles. No, not chuckles.

Speaker 47 It was.

Speaker 103 Yuck yucks. No, it wasn't yuck yucks.

Speaker 2 It was a typical place.

Speaker 5 Chuckles, yuck yucks.

Speaker 68 It wasn't yuck yucks.

Speaker 76 Punchline. No, something else.

Speaker 58 It wasn't any of those.

Speaker 29 And, you know, she could have been the Joe Rogan on the left, but she's so sour.

Speaker 208 When's the last time she told a joke?

Speaker 28 She used to be very funny.

Speaker 94 Well, she used to, she made a fortune on her daytime talk show, which now

Speaker 137 Ellen, and she

Speaker 51 show was an ass kicker.

Speaker 70 Doesn't she have to pay taxes when you leave the country?

Speaker 21 Well, it depends.

Speaker 97 I think you still have to pay.

Speaker 5 Well, not if you renounce your citizenship, I think you get away from having to pay taxes.

Speaker 12 But

Speaker 141 she had a huge hit.

Speaker 211 The thing was a huge hit.

Speaker 135 It was Ellen, pre-Ellen.

Speaker 198 Yep.

Speaker 135 And she was

Speaker 168 funny at the time.

Speaker 65 And then something sour, something happened.

Speaker 52 Maybe the autistic child,

Speaker 211 which she didn't give birth to,

Speaker 89 maybe her, the lesbian sales.

Speaker 119 Oh, well, hold on a second.

Speaker 212 So she basically, she got

Speaker 18 a bad purchase.

Speaker 38 She's mad.

Speaker 14 She could return it.

Speaker 21 I'm not absolutely certain.

Speaker 138 I don't want to take

Speaker 98 that.

Speaker 36 But as far as I know, she never was pregnant.

Speaker 97 But

Speaker 97 she's in a circle of lesbian haters.

Speaker 114 Yeah.

Speaker 135 And she's just, it turned her sour.

Speaker 114 It's very strange, especially for a comic.

Speaker 91 Yeah.

Speaker 44 Chelsea.

Speaker 110 Yes, adopted.

Speaker 213 Adopted by Rosie and Kelly as a baby.

Speaker 213 So,

Speaker 68 anyway, it's too bad.

Speaker 42 And she was funny.

Speaker 47 She was funny back in the day.

Speaker 73 Okay, let's just stick with the topic for a second.

Speaker 87 So, this is the part that gets really tiring: when it's just this constant anger, and everyone's angry, and everyone's losing their minds.

Speaker 215 Let me play some of that sound from someone

Speaker 215 for these town halls this week.

Speaker 68 Town halls.

Speaker 19 I support Elon Musk and the Department of Fire.

Speaker 131 Next question:

Speaker 131 Where Elon Musk? Where are Elon Musk?

Speaker 22 It's so discouraging

Speaker 217 how obsessed tomorrow with federal government.

Speaker 22 But here's the thing.

Speaker 215 Look, just in case you didn't pick this up, that was Nebraska and Wyoming. You talked about 80-20 issues.

Speaker 215 What they're doing with Doge is by far one of the most unpopular things that Donald Trump is doing.

Speaker 186 No, I think it's popular for many people, but I think what you're seeing is Democrats organizing congressional town halls with the purpose of being

Speaker 12 polling says

Speaker 12 polling

Speaker 139 drastic cuts.

Speaker 215 They do not think Elon has the expertise to do the cuts.

Speaker 68 I don't doubt the polling.

Speaker 6 They don't even judge

Speaker 6 that the government should.

Speaker 215 They don't even dispute that the government should shrink. They just don't like how it's being done.

Speaker 186 My point is, you played a video of a town hall as though it's evidence of some broad anger. that's out there, and it's not.
This is what happens every time there's a Republican majority in the House.

Speaker 186 The Democrats organize, they go to town hall they go to town halls they organize that they get loud they get viral moments and our party is not big organized you too our party is not that organized you try to organize town halls right now

Speaker 129 i love abby phillips saying our party is not organized aren't you supposed to be a news model but then this guy he i think this is uh that's a that's a good catch not you

Speaker 60 it's it's cnn surprise but then this guy jamal bauman I think he says something that could get him in legal trouble.

Speaker 102 That's not true.

Speaker 220 And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk. And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position.

Speaker 6 And how do we know?

Speaker 220 Because they fired tens of thousands of people. It was challenged in court.
The court said the people have to go back and now the people are coming back.

Speaker 33 He's incompetent.

Speaker 56 He's a thief.

Speaker 220 He's a Nazi.

Speaker 37 And people don't trust him.

Speaker 79 Period.

Speaker 69 I think that's actionable.

Speaker 168 Well, actually, Musk tweeted about this specifically.

Speaker 106 Oh, really?

Speaker 221 Oh, really?

Speaker 192 And he says he's taking him to court.

Speaker 137 He's sure.

Speaker 12 Slander.

Speaker 58 Yeah. You could call him a Nazi.

Speaker 221 Well, no, he's a thief.

Speaker 28 Thief, yeah. Thief.

Speaker 135 Thief is actionable.

Speaker 36 You can't call somebody a crook.

Speaker 21 You can't call them a thief

Speaker 36 unless you make it very clear.

Speaker 52 I mean, it's possible.

Speaker 201 I think there's ways to do it.

Speaker 96 But generally speaking, you can't.

Speaker 38 Not like that.

Speaker 54 Tell people to just avoid those sorts of

Speaker 182 comments.

Speaker 222 And we have been very...

Speaker 21 You can call somebody an a-hole.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 12 Because that's provable.

Speaker 52 Well, it's not... No, it's one of those things where...

Speaker 12 It's not a good idea. Okay,

Speaker 183 prove to us that you're not an a-hole.

Speaker 53 I mean,

Speaker 54 nobody wants to go to court to deal with that.

Speaker 76 Shall we listen to a supercut of the media before Elon bought Twitter and before Elon?

Speaker 51 This is a classic.

Speaker 141 These are good.

Speaker 223 And I would argue that the new Jesus Christ of our era are Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and it's important to have heroes.

Speaker 224 The 47-year-old engineer has been called the real-life Tony Stark, better known as Iron Man.

Speaker 176 Elon Musk, aka real life Iron Man.

Speaker 195 The guy is brilliant.

Speaker 226 He is a genius. And at least for now, the world is better off having Elon Musk in it than not.

Speaker 227 Elon Musk is one of the most interesting people in America. He's in the world, and I guess in the universe.

Speaker 36 Elon Musk is doing things that may revolutionize transportation and climate change.

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 220 Somebody as staggeringly rich and staggeringly intelligent as Elon Musk talks.

Speaker 2 People listening.

Speaker 181 Has there ever been a car salesman like Elon Musk?

Speaker 229 Elon Musk

Speaker 229 is, I think, is beyond a car salesman. I mean, he's more like a hero for a lot of folks.

Speaker 230 Just today, we were given a glimpse of something of a miracle at sea, or as Elon Musk calls it, Tuesday.

Speaker 229 Let's talk about SpaceX.

Speaker 231 Well, Kate, the launch this morning was glorious.

Speaker 233 Speaking of wonderful, out of this world, incredible images from the first all-civilian orbit around Earth. A A huge win for Elon Musk.

Speaker 128 It's an amazing development that's going on. You've got to give a lot of credit to Elon Musk.
Elon Musk, he deserves a lot of credit.

Speaker 234 Tesla founder Elon Musk says he knows the biggest threat to humanity, and he has a plan.

Speaker 230 An immigrant to this country cemented his status as a leader in science and technology whose name may indeed belong alongside those of Edison and Jobs.

Speaker 230 Put another way, Elon Musk today showed the world how it's done.

Speaker 18 Edison and Jobs yesterday, Hitler and Mussolini today.

Speaker 56 This is why the media is just not trustworthy.

Speaker 108 By the way, Rob, the Constitutional Lawyer, says it's defamation per se.

Speaker 92 I don't know why he says per se.

Speaker 44 It's lawyer talk.

Speaker 211 What he means is

Speaker 21 defamation.

Speaker 27 Yeah,

Speaker 96 I know what he means.

Speaker 95 Good. I'm glad you're saying that.
Defamation per se.

Speaker 92 Yes, per se.

Speaker 175 Per se.

Speaker 123 Whatever per se means.

Speaker 74 Although, this is an interesting moment because I'm just going to have to say it again.

Speaker 37 AOC, she has a shot.

Speaker 149 She has a shot. She's got the look.

Speaker 107 She's got the energy.

Speaker 15 She's got an old sidekick.

Speaker 74 Now she was in Denver and the people loved her.

Speaker 235 With Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez touring the country, Denver delivered a loud loud message of support.

Speaker 105 In the hundreds of rallies that I have done, we have never ever had a rally as large as this.

Speaker 33 An estimated 30,000 people filled Denver's Civic Center Park Friday night.

Speaker 237 This registered independent voter came from Durango.

Speaker 238 You know, he speaks for all of us, he speaks for inclusivity, he speaks for human rights across the board.

Speaker 12 Sanders and AOC railed against President Trump, Elon Musk, and widespread cuts to federal programs and employees.

Speaker 179 This nation was built by working people.

Speaker 105 Yeah, and we're not going to let a handful of billionaires run the government.

Speaker 239 And our political system is ill-prepared for this kind of abuse of power.

Speaker 239 In fact, much of our political system enables it.

Speaker 237 But both also had pointed comments for Democrats.

Speaker 119 There is today profound disgust at both both political parties.

Speaker 239 And that means communities choosing and voting for Democrats and elected officials who know how to stand for the working class.

Speaker 76 Doubling down on progressive goals like Medicare for all and raising the federal minimum wage.

Speaker 237 Rallygoers we spoke with agree the Democratic Party needs to change.

Speaker 105 We need more Bernie and less

Speaker 188 chuck. We're not going to take it lying down and we're going to stand up.

Speaker 241 It's going to take a big effort on everyone to quit criticizing each other and just coalesce on how is this movement going to move forward in a way that we make everyone feel welcome.

Speaker 237 For Sanders and AOC supporters, Friday's turnout is a sign that their message is a popular one, and they say the right one moving forward.

Speaker 76 Yeah, well, they got a big crowd.

Speaker 97 Real big crowd. And this is the...

Speaker 2 The idea that

Speaker 198 the party should

Speaker 66 not move toward the center, but move more left.

Speaker 139 More left, yes.

Speaker 54 That's the reason they didn't do well is because they weren't progressive.

Speaker 65 They weren't communist.

Speaker 12 They weren't progressive enough.

Speaker 183 The public wants a communist government.

Speaker 52 Yes.

Speaker 36 Marxist ideas.

Speaker 97 Yes.

Speaker 192 Because that's what they want.

Speaker 76 Yes. Well, that's what they want.

Speaker 86 And, you know, so this is this new group.

Speaker 81 Well, it's not a new group.

Speaker 172 It's the ethical union, and they you have these ethical unions everywhere in the world.

Speaker 12 Have you heard of this group?

Speaker 118 The ethical union?

Speaker 125 No.

Speaker 108 So they they were taking advantage of the situation, and it's not just the United States, but we have far-right governments all over Europe.

Speaker 74 So everybody was protesting

Speaker 75 throughout Europe.

Speaker 81 And listen to this clip.

Speaker 243 More than 10,000 people gathered in Dam Square in the Dutch capital, Amsterdam, to participate in anti-racism and fascism protests.

Speaker 91 Just a minor point, but The Hague is the capital, not Amsterdam.

Speaker 209 But okay.

Speaker 243 The demonstration comes against the backdrop of the International Day for the Elimination of Racism.

Speaker 119 Make

Speaker 84 Well, it's a mistake.

Speaker 108 It's Euro news, so we let them slide.

Speaker 244 It's Euro news.

Speaker 243 Demonstration comes against the backdrop of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

Speaker 33 Another day we missed. We missed the International Day for Elimination of Racism.

Speaker 140 Ah!

Speaker 243 Observed annually on the 21st of March.

Speaker 243 Protesters held signs reading never again as they warned against the rise of the far right across Europe, drawing memory to its disastrous history in the 20th century.

Speaker 69 Now, was Hitler far right, John?

Speaker 75 Just help me remember.

Speaker 121 Technically.

Speaker 35 Technically.

Speaker 36 Wait, based on the American educational system, Hitler was far right, even though it was a nationalist socialist party.

Speaker 107 Yes.

Speaker 5 But technically, based on the

Speaker 54 teachings that we have received in our university system, he is far right.

Speaker 243 Demonstrators also waved Palestinian flags in solidarity with the people of Gaza after Israel moved to resume the fighting following the breakdown of a fragile truce with Hamas.

Speaker 243 Protests also took place in France across multiple cities, including the capital Paris, as well as Lyon and Toulouse.

Speaker 243 The French Interior Ministry says some 91,000 people participated in the nationwide rallies.

Speaker 243 Protesters voiced their rejection of far-right parties amid the rightward shift in French politics and the government's recent pledge to crack down on immigration.

Speaker 243 Protesters also waved Palestinian flags and carried placards accusing President Emmanuel Macron of of complicity in what they called an unfolding genocide.

Speaker 147 So these placards, many professionally printed,

Speaker 56 the ethical union.

Speaker 92 And so I looked up, there's the American Ethical Union, and you have ethical unions around the world.

Speaker 74 And so I, and it says, you know, we're a 501c3.

Speaker 245 So I go to look up their form 990.

Speaker 133 You know, always interested to see, you know, how much money do they have?

Speaker 155 Can we find out where it's coming from?

Speaker 75 This organization is not required to file an annual return with the IRS because it is is a church.

Speaker 175 How about that?

Speaker 21 Oh, that was an interesting workaround.

Speaker 50 Yes, the American Ethical Union Inc.

Speaker 68 is a church.

Speaker 6 It's like church of Scientology.

Speaker 69 What kind of a church is that? Like Church of Scientology.

Speaker 177 No, I'll give credit.

Speaker 65 I'll say the church.

Speaker 36 I can say the Church of Scientology.

Speaker 61 I can give them.

Speaker 135 It says the word church.

Speaker 78 Yes, at least it has church in it.

Speaker 65 This doesn't sound anything like a church.

Speaker 192 Do they have services?

Speaker 96 Is there a building where you can go to the church?

Speaker 40 They have outdoor services on on the street with placards.

Speaker 68 Placards.

Speaker 65 Sounds like a scam.

Speaker 221 Yeah.

Speaker 116 They need a cathedral.

Speaker 70 At least the Scientologists have a cathedral.

Speaker 145 What was that article you sent me about Pam Bondi being...

Speaker 65 I didn't send you an article.

Speaker 115 I sent you a...

Speaker 116 Substack.

Speaker 139 What was it?

Speaker 201 I thought it was a video.

Speaker 41 Oh, no. YouTube.

Speaker 47 No, no, no, no. I don't think it was a YouTube.

Speaker 201 Yeah, Pam Bondi is very closely associated with the Church of Scientology in Florida.

Speaker 106 Yeah.

Speaker 113 But I'm not buying.

Speaker 137 I'm not buying it.

Speaker 136 You're not buying it.

Speaker 183 I'm not buying the fact that she's, you know, did they, this guy has...

Speaker 65 No, it was a video because it was a YouTube guy who's

Speaker 65 one of the guys who quit the Church of Scientology. Oh, you're right.

Speaker 200 Yes, you're right.

Speaker 168 Life's blood now is to bitch and moan about the Church of Scientology.

Speaker 137 Yeah.

Speaker 55 I've had, when I did a radio show, I had the Church of Scientology people on every so often when they needed to explain something that was going on that had to do with tech in the the news.

Speaker 57 Tom Cruise.

Speaker 194 Whenever Tom Cruise was in the show.

Speaker 36 Well, if Tom Cruise wanted to come on the show, no problem.

Speaker 90 But

Speaker 55 I find, you know, the people who

Speaker 21 quit the Church of Scientology for one reason or another, and I think this guy that's running the church currently is not necessarily a good guy.

Speaker 96 I just can't get into it

Speaker 36 to be just a Church of Scientology hater.

Speaker 189 And I don't believe Pam Bondi's like

Speaker 66 a stooge for the the Church of Scientology.

Speaker 36 She just takes advantage of the fact that she will exploit their vote.

Speaker 248 Yes.

Speaker 36 And I think it's smart.

Speaker 123 Church of Scientology is very interesting.

Speaker 74 I still have my e-meter.

Speaker 168 I have an E-meter.

Speaker 202 You have an E-meter too?

Speaker 119 In a suitcase?

Speaker 189 It's in a suitcase.

Speaker 15 It's huge.

Speaker 70 Yeah, I have a suitcase with the two really big electrodes you hold on to.

Speaker 12 Yeah.

Speaker 82 Yeah.

Speaker 82 I don't know who sent it.

Speaker 52 One of our producers. One of our our producers.

Speaker 76 Yeah. We both got one.

Speaker 90 Yeah.

Speaker 53 Somebody this guy have.

Speaker 70 I should probably just hook myself up to it during the show.

Speaker 17 It's a hell of a, it's just a, it's basically supposedly kind of a lie detector.

Speaker 64 No, it's and they don't even do they even use them anymore?

Speaker 249 They used to use a lie detector.

Speaker 73 It's to see if you're clear.

Speaker 2 It's basically a lie detector.

Speaker 189 And they put you in,

Speaker 64 the old, I don't know if they even do this anymore.

Speaker 36 They used to be on the streets of San Francisco.

Speaker 95 There'd be a bunch of people with the e-meters.

Speaker 64 get, hey, buddy, you want to take

Speaker 64 a band?

Speaker 247 And they usually have a pretty girl.

Speaker 201 It was a great bit.

Speaker 96 They have like a dynamite pretty girl with real nice eyes, and then they hook you to the e-meter, and then she'd stare at you until you fell in love with her.

Speaker 65 And the next thing you know, you're a member of Georgia,

Speaker 94 or you're signing up for Dianetics or something.

Speaker 62 And it's just an astonishing process that they seem to drop the ball on.

Speaker 180 I have it here, right here.

Speaker 93 I got the suitcase.

Speaker 172 I knew I had it in my.

Speaker 208 It says on the front, it says

Speaker 38 Mark Super Quantum.

Speaker 35 Quantum!

Speaker 26 Who would have thought?

Speaker 208 I'm going to open it up.

Speaker 170 Let me see.

Speaker 17 How does that happen?

Speaker 138 When you open it up, a bunch of stuff falls out.

Speaker 30 No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 208 No. I can't.
How come I can't open it?

Speaker 21 Because you're not a member.

Speaker 52 Oh, here we go. You're not clear.

Speaker 15 No, here we go.

Speaker 170 It's open. Here we go.

Speaker 76 Yeah. Oh, I have the instr.

Speaker 26 Do you have the instructions and everything?

Speaker 8 I haven't looked at it for years.

Speaker 74 I have, you know, oh, this is interesting.

Speaker 151 It has a little white thing in there.

Speaker 107 It looks like.

Speaker 134 Yes, it's called the radio, and they're being broadcast right now to the communists.

Speaker 163 It looks like

Speaker 92 a modern hard drive that you put in, you know, like flat.

Speaker 149 And it says calibration resistors.

Speaker 206 Courtesy of Hubbard Electrometer Manufacturing, 5,000 ohms.

Speaker 252 Oh my God.

Speaker 123 These guys are nuts.

Speaker 170 It's a cool device, though.

Speaker 253 Well, it was very effective at recruiting.

Speaker 222 No, I think that was the girl with the nice eyes that was effective at recruiting.

Speaker 85 Yeah, well, that's for sure.

Speaker 142 And so, uh, yeah.

Speaker 66 So Pam Bondi's got that, so they're trying to smear her for that.

Speaker 27 And I'm not, yeah,

Speaker 27 I'm not buying it.

Speaker 95 Let me see. But it's good.
It's good to know.

Speaker 127 So then we have an interesting position taken taken by

Speaker 147 the Trump administration to the attacks on Teslas.

Speaker 254 And this evening there is news amid the growing number of attacks on Tesla vehicles and dealerships, arson and vandalism across the U.S.

Speaker 254 There are multiple people under arrest tonight and Attorney General Pam Bondi now calling the attacks domestic terrorism and what Elon Musk says the company is now doing.

Speaker 254 Here's our chief investigative correspondent Aaron Katerski tonight.

Speaker 255 Tonight, Elon Musk says his company is stepping up security after a wave of firebombings, shootings, and vandalism targeting Tesla.

Speaker 255 As part of the enhanced security, Tesla is activating sentry mode on every car in the dealership. That means security sensors and cameras are on and recording.

Speaker 255 Watch as sentry mode is activated on this Tesla this week. A man seen allegedly keying the car at a parking lot in San Jose was arrested and charged with felony vandalism.

Speaker 255 Today, Attorney General Pam Bondi said those charged with destroying Tesla property are part of a wave of domestic terrorism.

Speaker 255 Prosecutors said a suspect arrested for throwing Molotov cocktails at a dealership in Salem, Oregon, was also armed with a high-powered rifle.

Speaker 255 Prosecutors said another suspect who allegedly tried to set fire to Teslas in Loveland, Colorado, was found with materials to produce firebombs.

Speaker 255 And Daniel Clark Pounder, accused of torching a Tesla charging station in South Carolina and spray-painting profane messages, was allegedly found with a three-page letter voicing objections to President Trump and Elon Musk's federal layoffs, writing, We will not stand idly by.

Speaker 157 So I looked it up, the definition of domestic terrorism, and it seems to fit as it needs to involve acts dangerous to human life, okay?

Speaker 60 Well, I think that's true, that are a violation of the criminal laws of the United States or of any state and appear to be intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population,

Speaker 74 influence the policy of government by intimidation or coercion, or affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping, and occurring primarily within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

Speaker 108 So

Speaker 108 I guess

Speaker 75 you can define it that way as domestic terrorism.

Speaker 8 Yeah, well, that adds to the charges.

Speaker 136 Yeah.

Speaker 118 It's so odd, though, why people do this.

Speaker 106 It is odd.

Speaker 168 And the number of people that have been caught on camera, especially in the, somebody parks their Tesla

Speaker 210 in a parking lot, they always have the cameras on.

Speaker 54 People don't realize there's like eight cameras on a Tesla that are just recording everything going on around the Tesla.

Speaker 180 Yeah.

Speaker 36 And it's sending it to

Speaker 8 headquarters, too.

Speaker 135 So there's nothing you can do about it.

Speaker 136 You know, you can't erase the tapes.

Speaker 67 And I think that's what happens.

Speaker 183 So they get you a guy walking by and he's going back and forth and he's keying, you know, subtly, oh, so subtle, keying the car.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 189 And it's like, why?

Speaker 65 Why are you keying somebody's Tesla?

Speaker 183 It just makes, I don't get it.

Speaker 27 What kind of nut are you?

Speaker 54 Yeah. These people should be taken off the street.

Speaker 108 That's actually a very European type of protest to do that kind of destruction, like destroying people's property.

Speaker 129 That's what they do in Europe.

Speaker 81 That's not really an American thing.

Speaker 47 You know, we go out and wave our flags on their stoop and yell at them, but we don't really destroy property.

Speaker 127 But yeah, the Elon, it's amazing.

Speaker 58 It's amazing.

Speaker 74 The hate towards him.

Speaker 127 The New York Times wrote this big article, SpaceX positioned to secure billions of new federal contracts under Trump.

Speaker 166 And just listen to the opening paragraph.

Speaker 27 Under Trump.

Speaker 124 Yes.

Speaker 258 Within the Trump administration's Defense Department, Elon Musk's SpaceX rocketry is trumpeted as the nifty new way the Pentagon can move military cargo rapidly around the globe.

Speaker 112 In the Commerce Department, SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service will now be fully eligible for the federal government's $42 billion rural broadband push after being largely shut out during the Biden Biden era.

Speaker 209 And

Speaker 69 it's like,

Speaker 86 do these people know that SpaceX has always been a government company?

Speaker 68 It always has been.

Speaker 81 I mean, it's NASA people who work there.

Speaker 249 They're not getting money from me.

Speaker 140 No, well, Starlink, but that was always

Speaker 106 a military project.

Speaker 191 And as a minor aside,

Speaker 125 The FAA really needs to do something.

Speaker 148 We know from our air traffic controllers that they have to sometimes resort to dial-up just to get weather data because their dedicated lines go down.

Speaker 260 I think the

Speaker 260 Starlink system would be a big plus.

Speaker 125 That's just all this hate.

Speaker 130 It makes me tired.

Speaker 130 I'm tired, man.

Speaker 39 I'm tired of the hate.

Speaker 14 Oh, you poor tired people. I know.

Speaker 63 It's horrible.

Speaker 79 I know.

Speaker 211 I have some clips that can bring the Christian out in you.

Speaker 86 Oh, okay.

Speaker 58 Bring the Christian out in me. All right.

Speaker 102 You mean the Jesus lover?

Speaker 109 All right. Give it to me.

Speaker 163 Well, I got to figure out what these clips are.

Speaker 30 Empathy.

Speaker 17 Empathy bad.

Speaker 62 And this brings Elon into the picture.

Speaker 89 This is

Speaker 52 a good series of clips.

Speaker 117 People tend to think of empathy or caring about other people's feelings as a good thing. But in some conservative circles, there's a growing chorus of voices arguing that empathy could be bad.

Speaker 179 The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy.

Speaker 117 That's billionaire Elon Musk speaking recently on the podcast, The Joe Rogan Experience.

Speaker 117 They were discussing the idea that unchecked immigration into Western countries is threatening Western political and cultural values.

Speaker 117 Musk agrees and warns that societies are at risk of self-destructing.

Speaker 178 There's so much empathy that you actually suicide yourself.

Speaker 132 Yeah.

Speaker 119 So we've got civilizational suicidal empathy going on.

Speaker 117 Musk, of course, is a close advisor to President Trump and the leader leader of the administration's Doge Initiative, which is making massive cuts to the federal government, including humanitarian programs at home and overseas.

Speaker 117 Musk said empathy can be good, but it's too often weaponized to persuade well-meaning people to support bad ideas.

Speaker 117 In recent months, several high-profile Christian conservatives have been sounding similar warnings.

Speaker 68 Oh, this is interesting.

Speaker 74 Well, I'll withhold judgment until after clip number two, but I may have to come in soon.

Speaker 2 Well,

Speaker 97 you're definitely a highlight of this.

Speaker 211 You're a Christian nationalist.

Speaker 32 I'm a Jesus freak.

Speaker 177 I've never seen that.

Speaker 121 Christian nationalist.

Speaker 55 It makes it better for these clips.

Speaker 68 Okay.

Speaker 50 For purposes of this demonstration, the part of a Christian nationalist will be played by Adam Curry.

Speaker 36 Empathy almost needs to be struck from the Christian vocabulary.

Speaker 99 It does.

Speaker 36 Empathy is dangerous. Empathy is toxic.
Empathy will align you with hell.

Speaker 232 Empathy as hoisted up as the highest virtue or even a virtue at all, I think that really gets us into a really big mess.

Speaker 228 Most people have a hard time imagining how empathy could ever be harmful. And therefore, if I'm the devil,

Speaker 228 where am I going to hide some of my most destructive tactics?

Speaker 117 That was Pastor Josh McPherson on his podcast, Stronger Man Nation,

Speaker 117 conservative commentator Ali Beth Stuckey on the Family Talk podcast, and author Joe Rigny discussing his book, The Sin of Empathy, on a podcast hosted by Al Moeller of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Speaker 74 Where's the Curry and the Keeper podcast in this lineup?

Speaker 117 New York Times columnist David French has noticed this discourse and wrote about it in a recent column called Behold the Strange Spectacle of Christians Against Empathy.

Speaker 117 French says Jesus, the central figure in Christianity, away man, embodied empathy.

Speaker 173 Whoa, what was that in that pop?

Speaker 246 That was me.

Speaker 117 French says Jesus, the central figure in Christianity,

Speaker 117 embodied empathy by coming to earth as a man and enduring the human experience.

Speaker 117 French notes that Trump has cut programs long supported by many evangelicals and conservative Catholics, including funding for religious organizations that help the poor.

Speaker 228 So how do you rationalize this change?

Speaker 35 Okay, hold on.

Speaker 42 They're conflating a couple of things here.

Speaker 133 Working backwards, cutting for the poor, these were huge NGOs that were just, I mean, even the Catholic, no, the Lutherans even distanced themselves from the Lutheran charity, saying, Oh, we don't really have anything to do with that.

Speaker 48 They just use our name after World War II.

Speaker 172 A lot of these groups used like the Catholic Bishops' Conference, whatever that means, was just an NGO to take money to resettle migrants, illegal aliens.

Speaker 21 Yeah, these were scams.

Speaker 129 Scams, but

Speaker 152 Christianity,

Speaker 193 as a Christian nationalist, for purposes of this discussion, empathy has nothing to do with Jesus.

Speaker 140 Compassion, yes, empathy is a

Speaker 38 psychosis where you take on another person's feelings.

Speaker 203 This has nothing to do with Christian nationalism.

Speaker 139 Well spoken.

Speaker 30 All right. Cope three.

Speaker 228 And I think that that's why some of these arguments about toxic empathy and other concepts are falling upon willing and open ears

Speaker 228 because people are looking for a moral frame around which they can fit the Trump movement. And decrying empathy helps them do that.

Speaker 117 Some conservatives also argue that women are especially susceptible to being misled by appeals to empathy, often when it comes to helping people who are suffering or in need.

Speaker 117 Here's Allie Beth Stuckey on Family Talk.

Speaker 262 They'll use emotional, compassionate, kind-sounding language in order to get a woman to think, well, in order to be a good person, in order to be kind, in order to even love my neighbor, then I have to be pro-open borders.

Speaker 262 I have to be pro-LGBTQ. I have to be pro-choice.

Speaker 117 In an interview with NPR, Joe Rigny said he believes women are more naturally empathetic, which makes them better nurturers.

Speaker 117 Rigny says they're also more likely to reject church teachings they see as lacking compassion.

Speaker 228 And in that kind of context, the empathetic sex is ill-suited precisely because of the ways that that empathy could be manipulated into, say, refusing to draw lines or in the name of helping an oppressed group, we're going to abandon our biblical confession or something like that.

Speaker 157 What is the purpose of this piece they did?

Speaker 100 Because I find it fascinating

Speaker 149 because empathy is literally the problem.

Speaker 31 That is the problem we have in America is empathy.

Speaker 115 Exactly.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I didn't know a toxic empathy.

Speaker 24 Well, I don't need to.

Speaker 141 I didn't hear Ali Beth Stuckey say toxic.

Speaker 52 Somebody said it in that report.

Speaker 122 Yeah, the PBS lady said it.

Speaker 61 Well, the purpose is going to be revealed with a clip

Speaker 95 after

Speaker 201 the series is over.

Speaker 65 I think that was clip three.

Speaker 116 Yes.

Speaker 52 This is clip three.

Speaker 115 Yeah, we'll finish it and and then I'll play the reveal.

Speaker 5 Oh, okay.

Speaker 197 I'm excited.

Speaker 117 David French, meanwhile, says the...

Speaker 118 I'm all jitty with it. Woo!

Speaker 117 David French, meanwhile, says the idea that women are uniquely vulnerable to manipulation ties in closely with Christian nationalism.

Speaker 117 The idea that Christian men should run the country.

Speaker 228 And so you do have quite a bit of literature in the far right, the Christian nationalist right, that is decrying what they see as the, quote, feminized church, feminized political discourse.

Speaker 228 They say that America is a gynecracy, is what they will call it.

Speaker 10 You know, we were talking about

Speaker 264 that in church today.

Speaker 14 Whoever said this?

Speaker 12 I've never heard this.

Speaker 249 I never heard the word in my life.

Speaker 55 We've been doing this show for 17 plus years, and I've never heard the term gynecracy.

Speaker 108 Do you say gynecracy or dynocracy?

Speaker 64 No, guy, guy, guy, like gynecology.

Speaker 122 Oh, gynecology.

Speaker 263 Female-oriented democracy.

Speaker 61 Gyneocracy.

Speaker 1 No, I've never heard this.

Speaker 96 G-Y-N.

Speaker 12 Yeah, no, I've never heard this.

Speaker 228 Feminized political.

Speaker 236 And you're there. Wait, hold on.

Speaker 82 You've never heard it.

Speaker 62 And you're the Christian nationalist.

Speaker 35 You should have heard this over and over.

Speaker 111 We should be talking about it in the Connect Center.

Speaker 14 Okay.

Speaker 78 After church when we're drinking coffee.

Speaker 73 Like, this gynecracy is just no good.

Speaker 228 They say that America is a gynecracy is what they will call it. And that empathy element is a part of their argument.

Speaker 117 Rigny says he wouldn't flinch from being described as a Christian nationalist.

Speaker 228 And I want society to be Christian. So yes, I think it's true.
I think it's good for the world. And I think it's, quite frankly, good for religious minorities.

Speaker 228 I think that in many ways, in the absence of that, tyranny is inevitable.

Speaker 117 French says he worries that some Christians have shifted from fighting for religious freedom to fighting for Christian dominance.

Speaker 117 But when it comes to calls for public policies grounded in empathy, he acknowledges that everyone has to draw a line somewhere.

Speaker 228 There are times when the head has to overrule the heart. That is something that has to happen sometimes in public policy.

Speaker 228 But at the same time, there should be no objection to appeals to the heart because our compassion, our empathy, is a fundamental part of who we should be as human beings.

Speaker 117 French says there's nothing really new about accusing one's political opponents of appealing to emotion rather than logic, but he argues there should be room in our political discourse for both.

Speaker 17 Oh, my goodness. So, what this leads to, this is an anti-Trump thing.

Speaker 95 Well, obviously, it's a PBS, NPR.

Speaker 12 Gee, what was the giveaway there?

Speaker 192 But the idea is that, you know, these heartless Republicans

Speaker 168 are, they just, they're heartless, and that's the problem.

Speaker 62 And this carries over.

Speaker 97 That was NPR, so let's carry it over to PBS.

Speaker 60 No, this, that was PBS. Now we can go to NPR.

Speaker 21 No, we're going to stay on PBS then.

Speaker 84 Okay.

Speaker 184 That was.

Speaker 155 Empathy Bad 4.

Speaker 36 Yeah, I'm trying to decide whether that may have actually been NPR, but whatever.

Speaker 26 I didn't hear Scott talking.

Speaker 41 Sure, it couldn't have been on NPR.

Speaker 36 No, it did.

Speaker 115 It could have. No.

Speaker 113 But let's go to Brooks and K-part.

Speaker 118 Oh, okay.

Speaker 36 And so, because they'll boil it down.

Speaker 189 Now,

Speaker 55 we have a toss to Brooks, the supposed, you know, he's supposed to represent conservative. They're both Trump haters.

Speaker 246 We have, to give, for the people out there that like PBS, to give you perspective, they're going to have two people on this call, Brooks and K-Part, that both hate Trump's guts.

Speaker 64 And so that's the perspective.

Speaker 201 This is giving you perspective according to somebody in the back,

Speaker 36 one of the producers.

Speaker 54 So I don't understand how that works, but okay.

Speaker 21 Here, this is boiling down what you just heard.

Speaker 183 This is boiling down what's really going on and why, what, what the end,

Speaker 183 what they're trying to drum home.

Speaker 54 Here we go.

Speaker 268 Dean, so far, about the role and the influence of

Speaker 155 C on Doge?

Speaker 47 I just want to make sure I have the right one.

Speaker 144 Yeah, yeah, I see.

Speaker 215 All right.

Speaker 268 Dean, so far, about the role and the influence of Musk in this president.

Speaker 269 Yeah, I did not have Doge being the center of the Trump administration before January 20th, but it certainly has become the center.

Speaker 269 And to me, it's revelatory. You get the richest guy in the world cutting off food for the starving children around the world.

Speaker 219 Oh,

Speaker 22 what would somebody please think of the children?

Speaker 170 That's the essence of what it is.

Speaker 119 The essence of those.

Speaker 12 That's the essence.

Speaker 19 All that it's about is starving children.

Speaker 12 Yeah, that sounds about right.

Speaker 62 It's not about cutting government waste

Speaker 267 or crazy programs and costing millions and millions of dollars of taxpayers' money.

Speaker 102 Is the Department of Gynecological Efficiency?

Speaker 212 This is why we have to starve children around the world.

Speaker 55 It's not about sending, it turns out like $600 million sent to Australian universities so they can do their research because Australia can't pay for it, I guess.

Speaker 134 No, no, it's none of that.

Speaker 192 It's none of this crazy stuff.

Speaker 62 It's about starving children.

Speaker 197 Yes, starving them.

Speaker 110 Starving them.

Speaker 192 Dying. Okay, so that, there you go.

Speaker 259 Okay, that's really great insight.

Speaker 168 That's the kind of thing that people actually

Speaker 55 give PBS money for.

Speaker 36 But let's see, here's the second half of that.

Speaker 56 The second thing is

Speaker 269 it's cruelty and ruthlessness. I've had so many conversations over the last couple weeks with people inside federal agencies when the Doge comes to, when the Doge Boys comes to town.

Speaker 269 And they are naked in their cruelty, that this agency disagrees with Donald Trump. People here, we don't like what you believe, and we're just getting rid of you.
And so that cruelty is kind of naked.

Speaker 269 And to me, it symbolizes something that is

Speaker 269 the epitome of this administration. These Doge people, Elon Musk, he went to Penn.
The Doge people went to Harvard. They went to Stanford.
They worked at McKinsey. These are not populists.

Speaker 170 These are elitists.

Speaker 269 These are conservative micro elites who've been in elite universities, who play in the elite circles, and they want to take it out on their fellow elites.

Speaker 269 And that's what this administration become about: a battle between elites, not somebody representing the working class for problems that are real.

Speaker 181 And this is why people are angry.

Speaker 64 And yeah, that was K-part at the end, joining in to agree.

Speaker 148 Yeah, of course.

Speaker 65 Yes, white people are angry because it's a battle between the elites.

Speaker 55 This kind of commentary, which is on PBS News Hour, is pathetic.

Speaker 25 Well, allow me to give you some perspective.

Speaker 123 From a white Christian nationalist, let's just call it what it is, John, as you already said.

Speaker 60 Empathy does not enter the equation.

Speaker 43 Following Jesus means you're filled with kindness, love, mercy, humility, forgiveness, compassion, and of course, faith.

Speaker 12 And that is, empathy is antithetical to Christianity or whatever you want to call it.

Speaker 38 In fact, many

Speaker 74 white Christian nationalists have a problem with Elon in this regard because he calls himself a cultural Christian.

Speaker 76 So that's like,

Speaker 12 he does?

Speaker 97 Yes. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 18 He calls himself Christian.

Speaker 249 What does that even mean?

Speaker 92 Well, that means that he's filled with everything, but he doesn't really believe in Jesus and the resurrection, I guess.

Speaker 74 I will say two other things that are being discussed in white Christian nationalist circles.

Speaker 153 One is that,

Speaker 75 and this comes directly back from the guys who are in

Speaker 206 the faith office.

Speaker 132 You saw that

Speaker 74 all those, everyone was praying over President Trump.

Speaker 147 And which includes David Barton.

Speaker 58 These are people that actually know.

Speaker 58 And they all come back and say, you know, Trump really did have

Speaker 58 a radical transition when the bullet missed his ear.

Speaker 143 And he, so he's really a brand new Christian, President Trump.

Speaker 41 And then the second thing,

Speaker 222 which means that, you know, you're a baby Christian, you got a long way to go, but it's a good start.

Speaker 81 The second thing is people are concerned.

Speaker 108 I find this to be quite interesting.

Speaker 74 People are concerned about the faith office, which did that ever exist before, an office of faith, the faith office in the administration, or is that totally new to Trump?

Speaker 161 Do you know?

Speaker 179 I have no idea.

Speaker 76 People are worried about it because,

Speaker 12 well, we have. Who people?

Speaker 70 Church, white Christian nationalists, the people I speak with.

Speaker 273 People at church.

Speaker 72 Well, you know, this is really great, but what happens if we get a president who's a Satanist?

Speaker 145 He could then bring in the church of Satan into the office.

Speaker 14 Like Biden?

Speaker 14 Exactly.

Speaker 165 So

Speaker 83 I still don't understand exactly what the point is of this

Speaker 72 of what they're doing here with NPR and PBS, other than trying to say,

Speaker 23 you're not being a Christian because you have no empathy.

Speaker 86 But that's just,

Speaker 116 it's bullcrap.

Speaker 61 No, I don't think that's what the message is.

Speaker 199 What is that?

Speaker 183 I think the message is Trump and Elon are cold-blooded haters

Speaker 114 that are just trying to starve children because

Speaker 115 it's what you want.

Speaker 121 You want to see the kids die.

Speaker 12 Oh, okay. Well, there's.

Speaker 17 And Rosie O'Donnell had the exact same commentary. She thinks that they're out to get her autistic kids.

Speaker 40 Well, you're right.

Speaker 86 Think of the children.

Speaker 76 Yes, and it's always old people, children, and pets.

Speaker 70 Although pets seem to be doing better in America. I mean, that's what got Trump elected.

Speaker 41 We all know that.

Speaker 21 What got Trump elected?

Speaker 68 The pets?

Speaker 19 They're eating the dogs.

Speaker 12 That got him elected.

Speaker 103 That got him elected.

Speaker 53 Yeah,

Speaker 249 there's an element of truth to that.

Speaker 68 That got him elected.

Speaker 3 It didn't hurt, that's for sure.

Speaker 107 It didn't hurt at all.

Speaker 4 Eating the dog.

Speaker 60 No, but this is why, as a white Christian nationalist, I always say when you play these TikTok clips of these insane people, I always say, well, you know, I pray for them.

Speaker 18 They need prayers.

Speaker 41 I'm not angry at them.

Speaker 74 They're just under dark spiritual forces.

Speaker 68 They're under a spell.

Speaker 76 That's what it is. Empathy.

Speaker 172 Empathy, I think, creates spells.

Speaker 74 And that's what.

Speaker 56 Okay. What?

Speaker 84 You're veering.

Speaker 39 I'm veering.

Speaker 263 You're veering.

Speaker 92 Stay the course is what you're saying.

Speaker 74 I was okay before.

Speaker 88 Shut back.

Speaker 99 Shut up.

Speaker 197 All right. All right.

Speaker 4 We'll be back.

Speaker 212 All right. Well.

Speaker 2 How about the people who just nuts?

Speaker 190 All right.

Speaker 12 Well, yeah, they're nuts.

Speaker 206 So I have two

Speaker 146 clips here.

Speaker 88 I don't know if you saw this.

Speaker 197 This was a doctor in Missouri, and they were uh working on a a bill, um, a state bill, to prohibit the transitioning of children.

Speaker 149 And this is a lesbian doctor who is pleading, pleading that they please, please, please stop this practice because she learned how destructive it was.

Speaker 74 And when you listen to her, and it's a little ghoulish, but it's important to hear it, you can understand that this is exactly what empathy leads to.

Speaker 32 When you're so empathetic, oh, oh, you must be a girl.

Speaker 76 Oh,

Speaker 108 you must be a boy.

Speaker 156 The things that they, the lengths that they have gone to with children is absolutely outrageous.

Speaker 275 Thank you, Representative, for the question. Yes, I was once an absolute true believer.
I trained judges within the state of Missouri around gender-affirming care.

Speaker 275 I trained all of the other divisions within the hospital setting.

Speaker 108 By the way, gender-affirming care, as we learned last week, is emotive conjunction.

Speaker 58 I'm trying to keep an eye on these things now.

Speaker 275 I trained all of the other divisions within the hospital setting around what is referred to as gender-affirming care. I believed

Speaker 275 wholeheartedly in this protocol. My spouse

Speaker 275 is trans, who has now walked back her transition. She was trans for 13 years.

Speaker 275 There were three aspects that made me come to change my mind. Number one, this protocol itself was built on regressive stereotypes and is homophobic.

Speaker 275 The first 70 children that were put through this protocol, 68 of them were same-sex attracted.

Speaker 275 The entire DSM protocol is based on stereotypes about what sex behavior looks like, and most gays and lesbians in childhood do not fit the mold of what regressive stereotypes look like for sex behavior.

Speaker 275 Of the 71st children that were put through this protocol, one of them died because the protocol itself destroyed what used to be the way that we would invert an adult's penis to make it a vagina.

Speaker 275 The puberty blocker itself makes the penis not grow to the the point where that child was put through a vaginoplasty that used their colon

Speaker 275 instead, and they died of a massive infection.

Speaker 15 Mengela would be so proud of this.

Speaker 82 You know, I like the thesis that this is

Speaker 52 a homophobic

Speaker 14 movement. Yes.

Speaker 183 That's the only thing that could catch on and put a stop to it.

Speaker 140 Exactly.

Speaker 145 And we're seeing more and more, certainly gay men, saying, no, no, no, you got to stop this.

Speaker 209 And then.

Speaker 138 A lot of lesbian women are also not happy.

Speaker 21 This is an example of one of them.

Speaker 149 Except for Kara Swisher.

Speaker 74 And so now we go into something that is related to

Speaker 12 empathy.

Speaker 275 I saw a patient population go from four new intakes per month of children who are mostly pre-pubertal boys to 50 to 60 new new patients per month and 80% of them were teenage girls.

Speaker 275 Guess what teenage girls have in common? They are absolutely susceptible to social contagion.

Speaker 275 This occurred right when COVID lockdowns happened, right when we stuck one of these in all of those teenagers' phones, and right when we saw all of these girls watching videos, we actually referred to it in the clinic as TikTok ticks.

Speaker 275 They literally were parroting and coming into our clinic with the exact same storyline that they learned online about what it meant to be trans.

Speaker 275 And then third and finally was that I actually harmed patients.

Speaker 275 This protocol itself physically harmed my patients to the point where I was sending children to the emergency room for emergency surgeries after they had their first sexual experience and their vaginas were ripping open, we removed the breast of a young woman who called us back, begging to have them put on.

Speaker 275 She not only had detransition and was re-identifying as a woman, she was also pregnant. And she literally told us that part of this identity for her was a social contagion.

Speaker 107 There you go.

Speaker 83 That's exactly what happened.

Speaker 205 Spurred on by nut jobs.

Speaker 236 And because of empathy and books about, oh,

Speaker 209 my child is trans.

Speaker 102 How do I tell the neighbors?

Speaker 40 You know, nothing to do with the kid.

Speaker 76 We read the book.

Speaker 12 Yeah. We read the book.

Speaker 41 And it was all about how do I deal with my political party, how to deal with my neighbors, how do I deal with school, how to do the school board.

Speaker 12 Nothing about the child, nothing.

Speaker 86 Just my kid's trans.

Speaker 33 And yes, that is.

Speaker 84 And you have people, then you have the Hollywood elites.

Speaker 93 It doesn't help.

Speaker 265 Shalice Theron and Megan Fox with three boys that have transitioned to girls.

Speaker 175 It's amazing.

Speaker 85 Yeah. How's that work?

Speaker 136 Yeah.

Speaker 179 And she's like,

Speaker 67 just doesn't seem like a normal person.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 165 Social contagion.

Speaker 56 Yes.

Speaker 245 Social contagion fueled by empathy.

Speaker 12 And empathy is powerful.

Speaker 173 It's very powerful.

Speaker 140 And I think America certainly kind of fell into that.

Speaker 44 Europe has always been a little bit that way.

Speaker 74 We just kind of fell into it.

Speaker 83 What do you think?

Speaker 33 Why do you think Europe allows itself to be destroyed by immigration that they don't really want?

Speaker 205 Empathy.

Speaker 70 Ursula von der Leyens, these kinds of people, they appealed to empathy day in and day out.

Speaker 106 Oh, imagine if it was you.

Speaker 127 Oh, can't you feel it?

Speaker 12 Can't you feel what that would feel like?

Speaker 47 The whole internet is one big empathy machine, at least the parts that Elon owns, according to Rosie O'Donnell.

Speaker 127 Well, I think we made a point. Yes, we did.

Speaker 81 I'm so proud of us.

Speaker 28 Yay.

Speaker 36 How about some bogus NIH?

Speaker 66 I got a couple of clicks here on the bogus.

Speaker 95 It says biggest, but it says one bogus NIH grant.

Speaker 210 This brings up an Ask Adam in the middle of it.

Speaker 27 Okay.

Speaker 195 The National Institutes of Health has terminated dozens of grants for scientific research projects related to vaccine use and hesitancy.

Speaker 195 Researchers got written notices that their studies no longer aligned with the administration's priorities and that it is the policy of NAH not to prioritize research activities that focus gaining scientific knowledge on why individuals are hesitant to be vaccinated and/or explore ways to improve vaccine interest and commitment.

Speaker 195 Dr. Sophia Newcomer was one of the researchers whose grant was canceled.
She's an associate professor at the University of Montana. Her work focuses on access to health care in rural communities.

Speaker 195 She spoke with Allie Rogan.

Speaker 5 Oh, is that Joe's cousin?

Speaker 54 I don't think so.

Speaker 56 Oh, okay.

Speaker 142 So

Speaker 183 they're going to go on about that

Speaker 36 research.

Speaker 137 You're going to realize that this is dumb research,

Speaker 114 but there's going to be like a missing piece of information, and maybe you can identify it.

Speaker 187 Thank you so much for joining us. What was this NIH grant funding?

Speaker 231 And my work focuses on figuring out ways we can improve vaccination services, particularly for rural families.

Speaker 231 And so, for this specific project that got cut, we were working to develop tools to measure the quality of immunization services that children receive.

Speaker 187 So, you were looking at the quality of immunization services. This grant cut was about vaccine hesitancy.

Speaker 187 Specifically, they said, How much of your research was looking at specifically at that issue of vaccine hesitancy?

Speaker 79 Sure, sure, sure.

Speaker 231 So, my project involved analyzing existing data on vaccinations across the U.S.

Speaker 231 And even though we were only partway through our project, we already had some important findings.

Speaker 231 And one of the things we were finding is that when children in the U.S. fall behind or are missing vaccines, a main issue are practical challenges to accessing high-quality vaccination care.

Speaker 231 So while we did see that some under vaccination in the U.S.

Speaker 231 might be due due to parental hesitancy, practical challenges to accessing vaccines, such as having clinics nearby that you can access, having a regular medical home for your child, having regular medical insurance, are all also challenges in accessing vaccines in the U.S.

Speaker 109 Okay.

Speaker 192 So how much money you think was wasted on this idiotic study where you have to have where there's nothing there, it seems to to me.

Speaker 36 This is just a vapid research project that doesn't tell you anything.

Speaker 201 You can go to the drugstore and get a free vaccine if you're just worried about where you can get a vaccine.

Speaker 21 So, how much money do you think was spent on this?

Speaker 167 Ask Adam, ask Adam.

Speaker 6 Will he know or will he won't? I don't know, but here we go.

Speaker 167 Ask Adam, ask Adam.

Speaker 78 Answer the question. Go.
Okay.

Speaker 33 I will say $28 million.

Speaker 17 Well, let's play clip two.

Speaker 21 The next clip, clip three.

Speaker 187 We asked the Department of Health and Human Services about these cuts, and they said in a statement that the decision to vaccinate is a personal one, and funding would be better directed towards more urgent public health priorities.

Speaker 232 What is your response to that?

Speaker 231 So it's sometimes said that vaccines don't save lives. Vaccinations save lives.

Speaker 231 We have safe and effective vaccine products, but we also need to make sure that we have the medical and public health infrastructure to ensure that high quality vaccination services are available in all corners of this country.

Speaker 231 And high quality vaccination care looks like this.

Speaker 231 All families, no matter where they live, should be able to access vaccinations in clinics in their communities.

Speaker 231 These clinics need to be equipped with the right technology so that doctors and nurses can look at a patient's entire vaccination and medical history so that they know when to recommend the right vaccines at the right time.

Speaker 231 We want every parent and every patient to be able to have thoughtful conversations with their care team about vaccines and to get their questions answered.

Speaker 231 And finally, we need to be able to have the data to track and measure how we're doing with providing high quality vaccination care.

Speaker 83 Well, there's no answer in this. What kind of ask Adam is that?

Speaker 62 They never answer that question.

Speaker 271 The whole report goes on these assholes at pbs heaven forbid that you tell the public what kind of money was wasted

Speaker 55 that was kind of a borderline bogus ask at him i mean there's no payoff well it wasn't borderline it was a bogus ask ask at him it was to make it was to make a point that they this is this is supposed to be reporting you You don't leave out these elements.

Speaker 271 You only leave it out if it was ridiculous.

Speaker 36 It had to be some some ridiculous amount of,

Speaker 64 because this woman was vapid.

Speaker 135 She was an idiot.

Speaker 64 And so they obviously gave her, who knows, tens of millions of dollars to do nothing more than look at vaccine data.

Speaker 18 Who cares?

Speaker 129 Well, speaking of injections, let's just call it injections.

Speaker 222 I mean, I had to go to a very reliable source to find out the latest on Ozempic.

Speaker 108 and like-minded types of weight loss programs.

Speaker 212 I'm sure you've heard about the venom that's in these things now.

Speaker 118 Venom. Oh, yeah, venom.

Speaker 109 Let's go.

Speaker 21 Is it bee venom or snake venom?

Speaker 180 Ah, good call.

Speaker 180 What kind of venom?

Speaker 277 It's the Gila monster.

Speaker 173 Exactly.

Speaker 83 Let's go to the TikTok dock, or as I like to call them the tick dock.

Speaker 278 Warning on Ozimpic, Wagovi, Zeppbound, Trulicity, Baeta, you name it.

Speaker 278 All of them have a black box warning that this Gila monster venom and the venom protein, for those interested, is called Excendin-4.

Speaker 278 E-X-E-N-D-I-N-4.

Speaker 278 Black box warning is within 12 to 36 months, you will develop medullary thyroid cancers of all kinds.

Speaker 278 Oncologists around the world, after seeing my interviews about this drug being made from venom, have told me it's not thyroid cancers they're seeing in all their Ozimpic patients.

Speaker 278 It's exploding breast cancer diagnoses in them. You're going to see every form of cancer from these drugs.
TA just added another warning that it causes gastroparesis. Do you know what that is?

Speaker 278 Paralyzed stomach for years. Not like you will, you will vomit every day for the rest of your life.

Speaker 278 And there is a CNN article from last year that says hundreds of thousands now have paralyzed stomachs that cannot be reversed for years after stopping those impacts.

Speaker 278 Anybody with diabetes, this drug is promoted for diabetes. It is published.
It worsens and speeds up diabetic retinopathy. Do you know what that is? You will be blind faster.

Speaker 69 TikTok Doc speaks.

Speaker 143 I like the Hilo Monster venom.

Speaker 30 You know, it's not exactly excendant for, but it sounds good.

Speaker 74 It makes the Hodge twins go, what?

Speaker 101 I think

Speaker 47 it's a peptide, extendon for.

Speaker 76 But

Speaker 59 these side effects.

Speaker 172 I think those are, I think the pharmaceutical, big pharma and the

Speaker 47 M5M, they're doing people a big disservice by not reporting on this a little more in-depth, a little more properly.

Speaker 8 I would say they're doing people a disservice.

Speaker 165 Yeah,

Speaker 157 because it seems like.

Speaker 82 Well, why? Let's think of.

Speaker 199 Let me hold on a second.

Speaker 247 Let me bring out my crystal ball and try to figure out why they're doing it.

Speaker 17 Oh, that's maybe because that's all they do.

Speaker 62 Oh, let me think. There it comes.
It's coming in clear.

Speaker 65 Pharmaceutical advertising

Speaker 249 owns the media.

Speaker 18 When is RFK Jr.

Speaker 108 going to

Speaker 155 swipe his pen and stop that?

Speaker 36 Well, it's going to have to be Trump that swipes the pen, but when does it get recommended and when does it happen?

Speaker 6 Yeah.

Speaker 96 Here's my thinking.

Speaker 65 I think

Speaker 164 they're going to use it as leverage for a while before they do it.

Speaker 52 So I think maybe a year or more before they pull the penalty.

Speaker 151 Oh, they're going to threaten a little bit and get some stuff out of them first?

Speaker 266 Yeah.

Speaker 115 That's what I'm guessing.

Speaker 55 Because there's no other reason.

Speaker 124 What do you think will come first?

Speaker 107 The

Speaker 72 banning, which of course will be a huge, there's going to be a million judges because it's freedom of speech and blah, blah, blah.

Speaker 108 Will it be the banning of pharmaceutical advertisements in

Speaker 74 advertising in general?

Speaker 25 Or will we see the Epstein files?

Speaker 124 Which one comes first?

Speaker 1 Wow.

Speaker 3 that's a dead pool.

Speaker 168 That's a good one.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 17 Which will we see first?

Speaker 12 Which will we see first?

Speaker 8 My guess would be the advertising.

Speaker 107 Yeah, yeah, you're probably right.

Speaker 58 But I don't know if we'll see that either.

Speaker 151 It's a hard nut, man.

Speaker 52 It has to be done.

Speaker 190 Well, yes.

Speaker 17 What you just revealed with that guy's clip,

Speaker 183 this has to be done because we can't let the pharmaceutical companies own the media like this.

Speaker 259 They own the media. Yeah.

Speaker 271 It's not good for the public health.

Speaker 113 No, clearly not.

Speaker 168 And Kennedy promised, that's one of the things he promised.

Speaker 113 You know, the three,

Speaker 165 the three clips that you have,

Speaker 189 which we should probably play again sometime.

Speaker 36 We don't have to play them now. Okay.

Speaker 36 One of the things that he promised was the

Speaker 36 release, well, it was releasing the data, stopping the advertising, and the third one was going after the journals.

Speaker 125 Yeah, for Rico.

Speaker 107 For Rico.

Speaker 236 All completely valid. Yep.

Speaker 50 Well, let's go to Canada for a second

Speaker 107 before we dive in.

Speaker 17 Before we get a clip in before we do that, of course, of course.

Speaker 62 Because it came up in the conversation, I just want to check it off the list.

Speaker 52 Okay.

Speaker 62 This is the astronauts getting paid overtime clip.

Speaker 280 The two astronauts that you just helped save from space, they didn't get any overtime pay for all that extra time. They got $5 a day per diem for 286 days.

Speaker 122 That is $1,430

Speaker 280 in extra pay.

Speaker 224 Is there anything the administration can do to get them, to make them whole?

Speaker 281 Well, nobody's ever mentioned this to me. If I have to, I'll pay it out of my own pocket, okay?

Speaker 122 I'll get it for you.

Speaker 79 I take care of that.

Speaker 277 I like that.

Speaker 38 I think that's a personality.

Speaker 281 I'll pay it right out of my pocket. Is that all?

Speaker 12 That's not a lot.

Speaker 281 So, what they had to go through. And I want to thank Elon Musk, by the way, because think of we don't have him.

Speaker 80 That's our president right there.

Speaker 24 If I have to open it, I'll cut the check right now.

Speaker 127 Well, okay, that changes my Canada sequence to start with some grilling,

Speaker 15 some grilling of the temporary PM,

Speaker 109 Mark Carney,

Speaker 252 former,

Speaker 101 wasn't he the

Speaker 183 exchequer?

Speaker 36 Epstein Island guy.

Speaker 14 Yes, Epstein Island.

Speaker 11 Adrienochrome junkie,

Speaker 124 allegedly, Mark Carney.

Speaker 76 He also, wasn't he the exchequer of the

Speaker 180 UK or? Bank of England. Bank of England.

Speaker 76 He was the exchequer, was he not?

Speaker 3 I don't know if that was true. I thought he was the head of the bank of England.

Speaker 155 Oh, maybe the governor of the bank of England.

Speaker 5 The governor, yeah.

Speaker 86 So he was grilled on some similar travel-related items.

Speaker 282 You have not been elected in a federal election yet, and you recently flew to Europe on government-wide-body jet at the expense of at least half a million dollars.

Speaker 282 So, the the question I have for you today,

Speaker 282 and maybe I'll say this before I ask the question: these people around you all paid for that flight, and you've not been elected yet. So, will you commit to refunding these taxpayers for that flight?

Speaker 225 Well, it's an interesting question, a way of framing it.

Speaker 119 Look,

Speaker 152 I'm going to go back to

Speaker 225 allude to the question that was asked previously by Mr. Staples from

Speaker 225 the journal and the situation that we're in as a country,

Speaker 225 which is we are in an economic crisis that's brought on.

Speaker 256 Sorry, I'm going to answer the question.

Speaker 225 We're brought on by the tariffs that have been put on Canada, actual and perspective. One of the challenges.

Speaker 282 This economic crisis was brought on by

Speaker 282 former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and you were his advisor on the Congress.

Speaker 225 I think you would find

Speaker 282 it did not create that problem.

Speaker 225 I certainly,

Speaker 283 hey, nobody in Canada created that problem.

Speaker 181 Nobody in Canada created that problem.

Speaker 225 The U.S. government has decided to put tariffs on all of its closest allies.
And that's what my job is.

Speaker 285 I'll take that as a no then.

Speaker 225 No, you'll take that as a very comprehensive answer to your question.

Speaker 217 He's great.

Speaker 76 But what about the jet?

Speaker 205 I'll pay for it out of my own pocket.

Speaker 147 I have a feeling he can pay for it out of his own pocket.

Speaker 47 I think Carney's done okay.

Speaker 74 So we start with a Maple MAGA boots on the ground, Maple MAGA.

Speaker 108 Boots on the Ground, Canada, Adam and John, we've gone full retard in this country.

Speaker 18 Pierre Poliver,

Speaker 145 the guy running against our newly unelected WEF, World Economic Forum, PM, Mark Carney, has laid out a sound and solid plan to negotiate and find a deal with Trump.

Speaker 76 While the PM no one voted for wants to fight and put our elbows up.

Speaker 58 Every liberal politician is calling Trump names and stating, we will stand up to this bully.

Speaker 145 Every woke libjoe in this nation is full-on in love with Mark Carney, as is our media, because our media receives hundreds of millions of dollars in stipends from the liberal government.

Speaker 81 Thus, they have a

Speaker 194 600 million.

Speaker 74 Thus they have a vest, which is about 50 cents American. Thus they have a vested interest in keeping the liberals in power.

Speaker 88 So if you ask the average Joe, Pierre Poliver

Speaker 26 is a Maple MAGA Trumpian Nazi.

Speaker 222 Carney runs Brookfield, a huge asset management company, which is said to have a lot of holdings in foreign oil, but Carney won't say what's in his trust.

Speaker 112 Carney is a net zero dude, but he just repealed the carbon tax, which was steadily creeping up higher and higher.

Speaker 50 It was a liberal tax to begin with, and now the party is claiming victory in eliminating it.

Speaker 201 The stupidity truly hurts.

Speaker 251 The plus side, if Canada becomes the 51st state, I can at least move to Texas.

Speaker 11 But we have 10 provinces and three territories, so it would be 60 states and three territories.

Speaker 173 Save us!

Speaker 40 So the most interesting

Speaker 108 part of this is elbows up.

Speaker 208 Elbows up is, there's two terms, and unfortunately, you won't hear the second term in this clip,

Speaker 147 but there's signs. You hear a lady talking.
She's holding a sign.

Speaker 83 And her sign is hands off our beavers.

Speaker 12 So this is, you can't, you can't knock them for the creativity.

Speaker 173 Elbows up, hands off our beavers.

Speaker 286 A new rallying cry is echoing through Canada. This Torontonian crowd is adamant.
Canadians are getting their elbows up.

Speaker 22 Elbows up, everybody!

Speaker 22 Let's do it!

Speaker 286 The phrase has caught the country by storm since Canadian actor Mike Myers brought it back during Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 286 It is now seen by many as a battle cry to push back against Donald Trump's tariffs and threats of annexation.

Speaker 195 Fighting for this country is worth it.

Speaker 105 I would do it all over again.

Speaker 12 And I think being here is the best I could do at this point in my life to stand up for Canada.

Speaker 242 This is a good rally where to say, like, yay, we're like, you know, we're not going to be treated shitty. And it's kind of like to see other people who feel like the same way you do, right?

Speaker 242 It's community building.

Speaker 22 Elbows up! Elbows up!

Speaker 286 The Elbows Up saying originates from ice hockey, associated with the legendary player Geordie Howe, who famously used his elbows to battle for the puck, earning him the nickname Mr.

Speaker 286 Elbows in the process. Canadians are gearing up for a fight both on ice and in the ballot boxes.

Speaker 286 Canada's new Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is expected to announce snap elections to be held on the 28th of April.

Speaker 31 Elbows. It's amazing.

Speaker 57 They got elbows up from an American television show.

Speaker 52 Well, yeah, but it does stem from a hockey player.

Speaker 109 Yes.

Speaker 57 Isn't that an illegal move?

Speaker 24 Elbows up? Is that

Speaker 99 hockey? You can do whatever you want, right?

Speaker 109 Yeah, you can do whatever you want.

Speaker 189 Piet sticking. No, that's.

Speaker 53 Yes.

Speaker 60 We love you, Canada.

Speaker 124 We love you as Canada.

Speaker 59 We love you as

Speaker 203 a state.

Speaker 106 It doesn't matter.

Speaker 210 We don't want them as a state.

Speaker 15 You don't. I do.

Speaker 205 I want at least Alberta.

Speaker 140 Give us Alberta.

Speaker 2 Well, Alberta would be great, but that's the last place it's going to go because that's the money.

Speaker 12 That's the money.

Speaker 180 That's where all the money is.

Speaker 155 And then President Trump pulls a fascinating stunt, which I think is very good for our economy, which is not really talked about, but he's smart because he throws in,

Speaker 125 you know, he calls the new fighter the F-47, so everyone can obsess over that instead of, wow, this was a company on the brink of disaster, Boeing.

Speaker 74 And the president has thrown them the lifeline of all lifelines.

Speaker 287 A big win for Boeing as the aerospace giant secures the contract for what will be the next generation air dominance jet called the F-47. Announced by 47th President Donald Trump.

Speaker 287 Thrilled to announce that the Air Force says it will be the most advanced, lethal, and adaptable fighter ever developed, designed to outpace, outmaneuver, and outmatch any adversary.

Speaker 288 Boeing's been sort of like drifting. Getting this contract means they have to be a different company than what they've been.
It's good news.

Speaker 287 Aviation consultant Michael Boyd believes President Trump is well aware of the problems reported at Boeing.

Speaker 287 From 737 production delays to the door plug blowout on an Alaska commercial flight last year.

Speaker 287 He says awarding the contract to the troubled aerospace company will force it to make major changes to safety and quality control.

Speaker 288 Bringing more oversight from the Trump administration, they're not going to put up with excuses.

Speaker 287 Longtime Pentagon journalist, turned defense consultant Marcus Weisgerber explains there have been years-long test runs of this upcoming sixth-generation fighter jet.

Speaker 287 He believes this contract will bring decades more work to Boeing's fighter jet production site in St.

Speaker 287 Louis, but that engineering or subcomponents could be built elsewhere, meaning Renton's production facility is not off the table.

Speaker 279 Now, the big question is: you have to take this development program where they made a number of

Speaker 279 one, two, who knows how many prototypes and actually turn them into production-quality aircraft.

Speaker 224 That will be the big test for the coming months and years ahead.

Speaker 140 I think this is a good move for America.

Speaker 57 You know, keep them under wrap, keep them under your thumb, keep control over them.

Speaker 108 Like you can't be the same old Boeing.

Speaker 108 Well, what states are we going to help out?

Speaker 70 I mean, I thought it was going to be big, beautiful ships, but it seems to be big, beautiful airplanes first.

Speaker 74 I think it's great.

Speaker 265 Well, it definitely, well, a couple of things.

Speaker 192 One, they haven't made, I think they haven't made a jet for a while.

Speaker 134 The F-18, I think, is theirs, but the F-22, which is the super.

Speaker 236 That's Lockheed, right?

Speaker 67 The Raptor?

Speaker 65 The F-22, I think

Speaker 21 you have to look it up.

Speaker 137 I don't know if it's Lockheed or not.

Speaker 96 But the F-22, no, the F-35 is Lockheed.

Speaker 54 The F-22, I think, is Grumman or

Speaker 72 it's a joint.

Speaker 99 It's a collab.

Speaker 75 It's Lockheed Martin and Boeing.

Speaker 199 Oh, the F-22?

Speaker 70 Yes. Yes.

Speaker 189 Well, I don't know what Boeing makes on it.

Speaker 14 Whatever the case is.

Speaker 50 The paint job, maybe? I don't know.

Speaker 89 It's a super, it's the jet of jets.

Speaker 134 We won't even export them.

Speaker 36 They're so dynamite.

Speaker 150 They're so good, the Raptor, yeah.

Speaker 21 But they're expensive.

Speaker 201 And this F-47 is supposed to be better and cheaper, supposedly.

Speaker 67 It won't be.

Speaker 64 But I think this has a lot to do with the fact that they can't get the new presidential seven,

Speaker 52 the big giant president jet finished, the new one.

Speaker 144 It's still not done.

Speaker 12 I thought it was done already.

Speaker 36 No,

Speaker 164 it's delayed and they can't get it right and all this and that.

Speaker 74 I wouldn't fly that thing first out.

Speaker 81 I mean, yeah,

Speaker 147 let Vance fly that thing for a bit.

Speaker 92 So Lockheed Martin built most of the airframe and weapon systems and final assembly.

Speaker 60 Boeing provided the wings,

Speaker 88 the aft fuselage

Speaker 5 are still good.

Speaker 123 And the avionics and training systems.

Speaker 198 Yeah, I used to room with a guy who was an aeronautical engineer when I was in college, and he gave me a long lecture about the wings, the various types of flapping wings and the rigid wings and all the rest of it.

Speaker 27 Yeah.

Speaker 137 And everyone believes Boeing makes terrific wings.

Speaker 193 I mean, when it comes to wings, Boeing's your company.

Speaker 38 And I wonder if South Carolina will get some business out of this or some other states.

Speaker 123 It'll be a beauty contest for sure.

Speaker 116 But good. That could be.

Speaker 21 The general run over

Speaker 98 billion.

Speaker 139 I mean, this is awesome.

Speaker 217 Well, but President Trump,

Speaker 146 he took that, even though he hasn't taken delivery yet, so I'm sure he hasn't paid.

Speaker 191 Or at least not all tranches, but the new Air Force One, both of them, went from $4 billion down to, what did he get it down to?

Speaker 17 Well,

Speaker 54 he did some sort of a screwball deal, which I think is why the plane is delayed.

Speaker 93 So they can't overbill him.

Speaker 66 Because, you know, Boeing and all these guys, they like to.

Speaker 62 Hey, you know, the price went up and you're halfway, it's like being halfway pregnant.

Speaker 66 You have to now pay more money.

Speaker 47 No, I think it was.

Speaker 60 I think he said, I don't like the number $4 billion.

Speaker 42 You got to get it under $4.

Speaker 142 And they came at three at no, under three he said all right i want under three and they came at 2.9 we have we have a producer in the audience that will give us the updated information because we're just yakking well i i kind of remember this

Speaker 91 kind of remember this i can't find any i knew we had i know we had a clip on it at some point

Speaker 164 trump yes we did air force one it was a big deal at the time yeah

Speaker 15 so let's talk about murdoch media murdoch media okay i mean who

Speaker 74 who's going to run it when the old man croaks?

Speaker 259 I think the old man's not running it now.

Speaker 267 They always credit him with running it.

Speaker 84 I just don't believe it.

Speaker 68 It's like Soros. Like, yeah, Soros is doing it.

Speaker 12 Soros is doing it. He's not doing anything, Soros.

Speaker 133 One foot in the grave, that guy.

Speaker 136 He's so old.

Speaker 41 Yeah. All right, Murdoch Media.

Speaker 264 Is your Scott?

Speaker 127 Is Scott on the Scott on the?

Speaker 12 I don't remember.

Speaker 289 President Trump can ordinarily count on the support of more conservative news outlets.

Speaker 70 But it's been tough to sugarcoat nosediving supply.

Speaker 38 Ah, there he is.

Speaker 50 Suffering succotash.

Speaker 81 I'm Scott.

Speaker 289 Simon. President Trump can ordinarily count on the support of more conservative news outlets.

Speaker 284 But it's been tough to sugarcoat nosediving.

Speaker 147 Man, it's just like the jingle, isn't it?

Speaker 83 It's been tough to sugarcoat.

Speaker 284 Stocks and consumer confidence, trade wars, and a looming recession.

Speaker 289 NPR media correspondent David Fokenflick joins us now to tell us more. Good to have you, David.

Speaker 29 Thanks. Nice.

Speaker 289 Where are we starting to see some of this pushback?

Speaker 181 Well, let's set aside the never Trump or right. Let's start with the most important part of the conservative press, and that's the Murdoch media.

Speaker 181 There are really four big parts of that. There's the Wall Street Journal news section, the editorial pages, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Post, and of course, biggest of all, Fox News.

Speaker 181 All in various ways, some of it quite gentle, some of it less so, are pushing back on Trump on this, reflecting in the terms of the Wall Street Journal's, I think, rigorously reported news pages, reflecting their own coverage, but also in the other elements, fulfilling their brand promise to various constituencies they're trying to take care of, and also reflecting what Rupert Murdoch really wants, which is to kind of gently ease Trump into what he thinks is the right thing: predictable, stable markets, and not trade wars.

Speaker 126 How do we know this?

Speaker 81 How do we know that's what Murdoch wants?

Speaker 61 We don't know that, guys.

Speaker 168 A mind-reader, this report is as bogus as anything I've ever recorded.

Speaker 93 Well, let's hear the rest.

Speaker 12 So, what are they saying?

Speaker 181 Well, you've seen these big headlines, Wall Street Journal reporting, you know, particularly on fears about chief executives and finance chiefs and real concerns about how consumers are hurting up and down the household income levels and how they're accelerating fears about what they can do.

Speaker 181 Take the New York Post's front page last week. You saw this huge cartoon of Trump plunging straight down the incline of a roller coaster headline, Buckle Up, Markets Plunge.

Speaker 181 You saw the Wall Street Journal's editorial page talking about tariffs.

Speaker 181 They called his moves on Canada and Mexico the dumbest trade war in history a few weeks ago and sort of doubled up a few days ago, repeating the line again.

Speaker 181 And then there's a very gentle explainer by Fox News anchor Brett Bayer explaining why tariffs don't really work the way the president claims that they actually end up really hitting the American consumer.

Speaker 181 And even Fox host Maria Bartaromo, a true Trump loyalist, here's what it sounded like when she mixed it up recently with Trump's commerce secretary, Howard Luttnick.

Speaker 240 I know you said you're not expecting a recession, but investors are on edge over the possibility of a recession this year after the Atlanta Federal Reserve said that it's predicting a 2.4% contraction in the first quarter.

Speaker 240 And of course, President Trump would not.

Speaker 105 What, wait, wait, wait. Say it again.
A what?

Speaker 240 A what? The Atlanta Federal Reserve. Contraction? Correct.

Speaker 181 And that's somebody who goes out of her way to frame things in the best possible way for Trump most of the time. She just got an appointment from Trump to the board of the John F.

Speaker 181 Kennedy Center for Performing Arts.

Speaker 12 Oh, oh, Maria can get me tickets.

Speaker 68 This is good news.

Speaker 21 You want tickets?

Speaker 108 I've never been to the Kennedy Center.

Speaker 72 Have you?

Speaker 8 No.

Speaker 12 I would go

Speaker 151 to performance.

Speaker 68 Oh.

Speaker 47 I want to see a nice ballet.

Speaker 21 So the way they frame this in that little clip they took with Lutnick going that he denying the two, the retract the which is quite a retraction.

Speaker 52 It's It's ridiculous.

Speaker 183 And it's just a one, it's a one-off.

Speaker 3 One Federal Reserve person said this.

Speaker 136 Yeah.

Speaker 94 And so they made a big fuss out of it.

Speaker 189 They're trying to foment.

Speaker 192 This is the.

Speaker 74 Oh, they want to. Because

Speaker 123 recessions are, since we threw out the definition of a recession, they're just now just in your mind.

Speaker 253 Yes, it's true.

Speaker 97 So here we go at the list.

Speaker 115 end of this thing.

Speaker 39 And how have other pro-Trump outlets covered this moment?

Speaker 181 I I think you look at the four Ds. Defend, deflect, deny, disregard.

Speaker 181 You've seen that in a bunch of right-wing pro-Trump outlets.

Speaker 87 No, we saw the left-wing guy kill the

Speaker 48 insurance CEO using those terms.

Speaker 146 Luigi, it's Luigi talk.

Speaker 181 Defend, deflect, deny, disregard. You've seen that in a bunch of right-wing pro-Trump outlets.
Take Musemax's Rob Finnerty.

Speaker 181 He recently debated Ontario Premier Doug Ford about Canada's reaction to Trump's tariff moves.

Speaker 290 How is that fair?

Speaker 237 I think that Donald Trump just wants to get the best deal for the American consumer, even if that means some pain in the short term.

Speaker 181 There are other right-wing and pro-Trump sites that simply are focusing the blame on former President Joe Biden for whatever's going wrong now or might in the future.

Speaker 289 Well, what do you think the impact of this coverage will be?

Speaker 181 Well, I think these things are both a leading and a lagging indicator. They tell you where these outlets think their audiences are.

Speaker 173 And in the case of Fox.

Speaker 15 What do you say?

Speaker 70 A lagging leading indicator?

Speaker 121 No, a leading and a lagging.

Speaker 271 How can something be a leading and a lagging?

Speaker 12 Well, it's Bollinger Bands, obviously.

Speaker 25 It's a new

Speaker 205 technical analysis you can put on the price of Bitcoin.

Speaker 78 You have a lagging and a leading indicator.

Speaker 181 Well, I think these things are both a leading and a lagging indicator.

Speaker 181 They tell you where these outlets think their audiences are, and in the case of Fox, where they hope to get the president to, because they know few people are watching Fox and the media more closely than he does.

Speaker 35 Oh,

Speaker 108 okay.

Speaker 92 Yeah, that's what he's doing all day.

Speaker 129 You know,

Speaker 108 Fox acquired a podcast company.

Speaker 92 It was this is a couple months back.

Speaker 116 Actually, it was February, I think.

Speaker 139 Who did he acquire?

Speaker 108 Red Seed Ventures.

Speaker 156 Well, it's not really a podcasting company, but it's a

Speaker 147 they do technology marketing and support.

Speaker 108 And I think they also do sales for Megan Kelly, Tucker Carlson, Bill O'Reilly.

Speaker 136 I don't know who else.

Speaker 53 Well, that's enough.

Speaker 60 Yeah, you don't need much more than that.

Speaker 172 Well, going on this recession thing, it's interesting that you brought that up with the Murdoch stuff.

Speaker 151 I have Good Morning America, who we're talking about recession, and they start with a definition.

Speaker 291 A recession is part of the normal economic cycle, right? It usually occurs every six to seven years. And in a recession, the economy just stops growing.

Speaker 291 It actually starts shrinking for several months. At the same time, unemployment rises.
And there's actually a panel of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research who make this call.

Speaker 291 It's based on a number of factors, including hiring and consumer spending. Now, today, we've got uncertainty over tariffs, government layoffs, falling consumer confidence.

Speaker 291 All of that has some economists now raising the odds of a recession to as much as 40%.

Speaker 291 And even the Federal Reserve this week lowered its outlook for economic growth, but they said the likelihood of a recession is, quote, not high.

Speaker 68 Oh, okay.

Speaker 107 What is that?

Speaker 97 Not high.

Speaker 62 40% is not over 50%.

Speaker 36 Less than a half and a half chance.

Speaker 83 Less than half and a half chance.

Speaker 55 And you go, Chris, the old definition used to be two quarters of contraction.

Speaker 118 Well, I'm glad you brought that up.

Speaker 119 Interesting.

Speaker 292 And part of the conversation was how the recession, the previous recession, impacted us all differently, right?

Speaker 292 And so if we were to slip into a recession this time, how might it be different than what we've seen in the past?

Speaker 257 Especially for folks who are living, would be living through a recession for the first time now.

Speaker 291 So, there have been 14 recessions in the U.S. since the Great Depression of 1929.
The shortest was the one during COVID. That lasted just two months.

Speaker 291 Then, prior to that, the Great Recession, remember, of 2007. Now, that one lasted a year and a half.
It was painful.

Speaker 291 It was triggered by the housing crisis after banks gave risky loans to borrowers who couldn't afford them. That led a lot of folks to default on their loans.

Speaker 291 And as we know, it caused other financial problems.

Speaker 63 What was

Speaker 170 you posted on X?

Speaker 137 Last a year and a half.

Speaker 55 Oh, no, a year and a half.

Speaker 21 Yeah, a year and a half.

Speaker 160 That was about a year.

Speaker 70 I think we both saw this, and you reposted it.

Speaker 213 You re-exit it.

Speaker 47 You re-slashed it on X.

Speaker 92 There was something that we needed to pay attention to that was very similar.

Speaker 153 Oh, it was the

Speaker 148 private equity, private equity,

Speaker 213 the CLOs.

Speaker 17 The private equity thing. Yeah, well, the private equity thing, I think, which

Speaker 115 Horwitz and I discussed

Speaker 177 is that

Speaker 141 these private equity operations are just basically raping the economy.

Speaker 27 Yes.

Speaker 63 Yeah.

Speaker 15 Yeah. So

Speaker 58 they buy something like Joanne's

Speaker 110 knitting factory, whatever that is called.

Speaker 198 Joanne's.

Speaker 137 Joanne's, yes.

Speaker 4 Whatever you say.

Speaker 78 The fabrics. Fabrics, yes.

Speaker 108 And then they saddle it up with debt, but then the debt that they have is very short-term debt with variable interest rates, and then they can't pay back, and then they have to start selling off pieces of the company.

Speaker 123 But they've already taken their fees and their percentages.

Speaker 179 Well, yeah, there's also some

Speaker 135 carry-forward scam of some sort that has to do with the company.

Speaker 12 Yeah, oh, yeah.

Speaker 73 The tax loophole, the

Speaker 108 carried interest.

Speaker 115 Carried interest. Yeah.

Speaker 135 And so they get to make money on the deal, but the company goes bankrupt.

Speaker 180 You have to bankrupt the company to work with.

Speaker 124 But ultimately, so I know that our HVAC company, I think they were bought up by private equity because a lot of HVAC companies were bought up.

Speaker 12 So let's say HVAC, air conditioner,

Speaker 71 air conditioner

Speaker 193 heating and air conditioning companies.

Speaker 12 Oh, okay. Yeah.

Speaker 152 You don't have that in San Francisco.

Speaker 210 That's why I don't know the term.

Speaker 28 Exactly.

Speaker 18 You just have a fireplace.

Speaker 102 Maybe you might need that.

Speaker 155 And you got a fan.

Speaker 144 That's rarely.

Speaker 38 You get a fireplace and a fan.

Speaker 93 Oh, it's freezing. It's 50.

Speaker 70 Yeah.

Speaker 148 So spark up the fireplace.

Speaker 222 So the HVAC companies, they've bought up a lot of these and I think also

Speaker 108 veterinarians, but the HVAC is interesting to me because we have two compressors.

Speaker 12 So

Speaker 116 if they go out of business or they make the companies go out of business because they have to, you know, they have to sell off real estate or whatever they would, you know, inventory, doesn't that create an

Speaker 25 an incredible opportunity for new HVAC companies to just reboot and start up again?

Speaker 222 It doesn't mean like all of a sudden there's no more HVAC engineers.

Speaker 192 Well, you say the same thing with Joann's, but the fact is that these companies took a long time to roll out.

Speaker 8 You just don't go from zero to a hundred.

Speaker 56 Right.

Speaker 189 But you start with one store, then you got two, then you maybe four, then maybe eight, maybe six.

Speaker 74 My point is, it doesn't have to be

Speaker 102 a huge conglomerate.

Speaker 258 You can have a Joann's fabric store in Fredericksburg.

Speaker 191 You can have one in Austin.

Speaker 70 You can have one in Berkeley.

Speaker 74 They don't have to be federated.

Speaker 149 It doesn't seem that hard to start a fabric store.

Speaker 263 Well, there's fabric stores in these same towns.

Speaker 198 There is a fabric store in Berkeley.

Speaker 139 But

Speaker 55 the thing is, it's not a mega stuff.

Speaker 2 I mean, Joann's is a big store that had all kinds of stuff besides just fabrics.

Speaker 205 Yeah, but maybe we don't need that.

Speaker 36 And of course, I got notes from people because we talked about this already.

Speaker 66 Somebody said, well, you know, the fabrics at Joann's weren't that good.

Speaker 54 There are better fabric stores here and there.

Speaker 143 So it's not a loss, then it's not.

Speaker 36 Well, if you were a Joanne customer, it is.

Speaker 203 So the final clip from Good Morning America is how it affects, how does this affect normal people?

Speaker 257 And the reason why we wanted to bring you into our little hallway conversation is because everybody's always talking recession, recession, recession. But what does that mean?

Speaker 255 Like, how does that affect the average person?

Speaker 291 Unfortunately, millions of people can lose their jobs in a recession because businesses and consumers, they're pulling back on their spending.

Speaker 291 That means companies need to slash budgets, lay off workers. Some companies, if you have a job, may cut pay.
They can eliminate a bonus. It can also be harder to get a loan in a recession.

Speaker 291 That's because banks become choosier about who they lend money to, even if you have good credit.

Speaker 291 And of course, recessions also tend to be bad news for the stock market, which means your 401k can take a hit.

Speaker 12 This is why we have chosen wisely, recession-proof gig, be a podcaster.

Speaker 123 You've muted yourself.

Speaker 55 I'm not sure that was actually I did.

Speaker 150 I don't know how that happened, by the way.

Speaker 43 It happens whenever you get the spreadsheet.

Speaker 36 When recessions happen, the donations go down. Yes.

Speaker 96 So we're not totally resisting.

Speaker 86 We just tighten the belt.

Speaker 146 We just tighten the belt along with everybody else.

Speaker 12 I mean, it's not the worst in the world.

Speaker 74 In more than 17 years, have we been through a recession?

Speaker 12 Yes.

Speaker 79 Yeah.

Speaker 82 Maybe two.

Speaker 64 We went through the 2007-2008 thing.

Speaker 12 That's right. That's right.

Speaker 2 That was the big boy.

Speaker 136 Yeah.

Speaker 124 That was the best time for us.

Speaker 152 Remember, Obama went there and said, I need a trillion dollars?

Speaker 56 That was great.

Speaker 89 We went through the COVID.

Speaker 198 Now, the COVID recession, actually, we benefited from that one.

Speaker 70 Yes.

Speaker 48 Although most of those people now hate us because, you know, we don't condemn

Speaker 48 Israel and we don't condemn Russia.

Speaker 148 The very same people have just.

Speaker 5 This is absolutely true.

Speaker 112 However, with that, I would like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in the cross-cutting.

Speaker 29 Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only, Mr.

Speaker 217 John C.

Speaker 22 Damori.

Speaker 62 In the morning to you, Miss Adam Karina Murray, I should have seen the graphic in the air.

Speaker 261 So there's a war damage and I'd out there.

Speaker 119 In the morning to our trolls in the troll room.

Speaker 10 Hold on one one second, stop moving, let me count you for a minute.

Speaker 74 2,320 trolls are checking us out live at the moment.

Speaker 81 And I will go to

Speaker 74 2,320.

Speaker 12 So

Speaker 24 I will go to the tote board.

Speaker 87 And yes, that is 200 lower than our last Sunday, which was 2535.

Speaker 47 It is just, just above the 100 show average.

Speaker 172 And in general, Sundays have been up 10.4%.

Speaker 136 So

Speaker 222 for those of you on the property.

Speaker 114 The starting with Queen Ursula probably drove them away.

Speaker 102 Well, I did give you an out on that.

Speaker 148 We should probably see.

Speaker 200 Well, I was for it.

Speaker 96 I didn't mean that the listeners were.

Speaker 47 Well, no, we probably shouldn't have done that.

Speaker 129 The trolls are in the troll room, listening at

Speaker 70 listening at trollroom.io, or perhaps they are on one of those modern podcast apps.

Speaker 50 Someone actually wrote me an email, says, I'm always in the car when you're talking about where to get those modern podcast apps.

Speaker 71 I can't remember what it is.

Speaker 100 Here it comes. Podcastapps.com.

Speaker 102 It doesn't seem like a tough one to remember.

Speaker 155 Podcastapps.com.

Speaker 108 We are a value for value, which makes us

Speaker 108 not recession-proof, but it does make us

Speaker 18 rage-quit-proof.

Speaker 108 There's always someone who's going to rage quit over something we said.

Speaker 51 Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 42 And usually those people didn't donate anyway.

Speaker 82 No, they never, no. The number of people who are

Speaker 96 supporters, let's say, producers, supporters, when they complain to us about something or other, we pay careful attention to that.

Speaker 141 But the drive-bys

Speaker 54 just drive-by, you know, or there was somebody's told them, somebody in their local Democrat Party said, here's the podcast you want to write notes to tell them that they're Jew lovers.

Speaker 111 That's not true because the guy who was the last, you called him a drive-by, he had been listening

Speaker 92 since 2012, and then it was the first time he ever donated

Speaker 205 after we complained about him.

Speaker 177 Yes.

Speaker 192 But just because he said that,

Speaker 55 and he just donated for the first time, doesn't mean he...

Speaker 115 I have, I'm skeptical.

Speaker 55 I think he's a listener.

Speaker 192 I think now he's a listener.

Speaker 124 Well, because he's been called out.

Speaker 259 Well, also, because once you donate or help the show

Speaker 115 in any way, even $5 a month with a subscription donation or recurring donation is what it really is.

Speaker 115 You are invested.

Speaker 168 Once you're invested, then you'll be more conscientious.

Speaker 34 And we got you on the hook.

Speaker 18 We just have to reel you in.

Speaker 35 It's all good.

Speaker 58 People support us in many ways.

Speaker 34 And emails like our

Speaker 74 Maple MAGA Canada note.

Speaker 148 I mean, that's a great way to support the show, to give us something of value to talk about.

Speaker 108 We have the best hands-down producers in the entire media landscape, in the entire media universe.

Speaker 58 There is not a single thing we can't talk about or that we can talk about that someone out there isn't in that industry.

Speaker 153 It's baffling how often it happens.

Speaker 191 And so you can.

Speaker 97 Yeah,

Speaker 114 they keep us on the straight and narrow.

Speaker 28 That's right.

Speaker 208 I mean, we just got the constitutional lawyer Rob just putting us straight.

Speaker 113 Yeah, right, during the show.

Speaker 180 During the show.

Speaker 12 Yeah, during the show.

Speaker 140 And the trolls, of course, they help out as well.

Speaker 197 They do that.

Speaker 56 They do. Oh, yeah.

Speaker 139 Yeah.

Speaker 149 Well, they also just try to

Speaker 47 get my goat.

Speaker 12 But they know, often they'll correct.

Speaker 68 Like I said, apophora, it was hypophora.

Speaker 12 You know, it's like little mistakes like that.

Speaker 132 It's good to be able to correct that in real time.

Speaker 191 And they're just fun.

Speaker 157 And they smell pretty decent.

Speaker 27 No, they do.

Speaker 68 Yeah, they do. They do.

Speaker 58 We have many artists who participate in our grand bi-weekly contest.

Speaker 222 who can create the best art for the show that we will use in the mp3 file itself and in the in the podcast feed.

Speaker 213 And we use it to promote the show everywhere.

Speaker 12 Now,

Speaker 74 this was very interesting because the artwork that we chose for episode 1748, we titled that Brain Rot.

Speaker 102 I did not notice

Speaker 108 until it was pointed out to me that, and it was brilliant, by the way, it was

Speaker 222 the steel porcupine

Speaker 139 strategy that Ursula von der Leyen talked about, that this is what they're going to turn Ukraine into, into a steel porcupine.

Speaker 102 So there were many steel porcupine images.

Speaker 92 This one was great because it was a really nice picture of a steel porcupine.

Speaker 102 It was sitting right in front of kind of on the Ukraine flag, which made it, that was really the big, the big hit.

Speaker 108 But did you notice that No Agenda is not spelled No Agenda?

Speaker 135 No, I did not notice this.

Speaker 144 How's it spelled?

Speaker 74 It's spelled Noagenga.

Speaker 12 There's two G's in in Noah Jenga. I'm trying to think.

Speaker 184 Oh, he had the AI spell it.

Speaker 2 That's why.

Speaker 139 That's what I think.

Speaker 202 And

Speaker 71 we didn't even see it.

Speaker 79 This is unbelievable.

Speaker 180 Noah Jenga.

Speaker 66 I can look at it now, but our generator's down.

Speaker 12 Oh, you're kidding me.

Speaker 6 Oh, no.

Speaker 6 Oh.

Speaker 74 No, it's not down for me.

Speaker 63 It's not down. It's down for me.

Speaker 12 Well, try it again.

Speaker 260 Maybe you misspelled it.

Speaker 106 No, I hit it twice already.

Speaker 76 Yeah, hit it again.

Speaker 74 Hit it one more time.

Speaker 127 You must be misspelling.

Speaker 249 Let me hit it let me hit it it came up real fast for me so oh my head it's it's coming up fast no no you you're doing something wrong

Speaker 33 why am i doing anything wrong well because uh you know turn off your vpn

Speaker 141 i'm not on a vpn okay no i said second window's open still not coming up well that's interesting it's got to be a localized situation something to do with my internet yes well it comes up fine for me and i'll just uh

Speaker 108 try and remind you of the things we looked at, which was pretty much all porcupines.

Speaker 5 There was

Speaker 72 Darren O'Neill did a chemistry set.

Speaker 100 By the way, did you know that chemistry sets, they're illegal to be sold in

Speaker 49 the state of Texas?

Speaker 267 Well, that's because the kids in Texas are stupid.

Speaker 76 No, they're not.

Speaker 123 They just make stuff that blows up.

Speaker 168 We have... Why would you ban?

Speaker 8 This is the legislature there.

Speaker 21 These people that run Texas are not up to par.

Speaker 15 Well, the people in the Senate,

Speaker 149 they are up to par.

Speaker 203 The people in the House, they're basically Democrats.

Speaker 21 Let me see.

Speaker 36 Yeah, and you got other Democrats from that state, like Jasmine Crockett is from Texas.

Speaker 106 Yeah. How does that work?

Speaker 135 Not Maxine Waters, but the other one that used to be from Texas.

Speaker 73 Listen to this.

Speaker 11 In Texas, and only in Texas, it is illegal to own any chemistry equipment without an explicit license from the state.

Speaker 12 Furthermore, in order to

Speaker 183 have

Speaker 64 a titration device or a pipette,

Speaker 173 a test tube? Is it pipette or pipette?

Speaker 221 Erlin Meyer flask.

Speaker 108 No, stop with your flask.

Speaker 32 In order to apply for a license, you must present a legitimate business reason for the ownership of the equipment.

Speaker 108 So, podcaster would probably not be a legitimate business interest for a pipette, I'm thinking.

Speaker 149 Correct a record had a steel porcupine.

Speaker 252 Blue Acorn did

Speaker 58 Darren O'Neal, of course, tried it.

Speaker 44 That was AI stuff.

Speaker 169 And was there anything else?

Speaker 44 You used the big, beautiful battleship, so I blew Acorn for the newsletter I saw, which was

Speaker 145 that's nice for a newsletter.

Speaker 155 It's kind of hard for the album art because it's typically not very large.

Speaker 4 It's very small.

Speaker 47 Yeah, on the on the podcast apps.

Speaker 11 So we'd love to know

Speaker 110 Data who did,

Speaker 71 oh, you know what?

Speaker 73 We missed it, but Data posted a fixed version of

Speaker 70 the steel porcupine correctly spelled later on.

Speaker 30 Oh,

Speaker 238 actually today.

Speaker 173 He posted it today.

Speaker 12 Yeah, thanks.

Speaker 113 Thanks for not being there.

Speaker 206 So, but there you go.

Speaker 173 That just shows you not only is AI stupid, but we're even stupider than AI because we didn't catch it.

Speaker 152 We were so enthralled by the porcupine and the flag that we, that we just think the porcupine also had bullets for hands.

Speaker 180 Yeah, no, it's beautiful.

Speaker 68 It's a lot of stuff going on.

Speaker 5 It's a beautiful piece.

Speaker 48 So, thank you very much, Data.

Speaker 15 I did also get a note from

Speaker 146 our Triple J, who had the artwork before that.

Speaker 222 That was the Flying Volkswagen, the VW Boomer.

Speaker 108 So, it was T T I

Speaker 146 one P P L E J.

Speaker 15 Hi, Adam and John.

Speaker 260 We are thrilled our VW Boomer piece was selected for show 1747.

Speaker 212 Our artist name is supposed to be Triple J

Speaker 108 T R exclamation point P L E J.

Speaker 78 But I clearly didn't check the typing before clicking submit.

Speaker 140 We chose the name because there are three of us, my girlfriend, myself, and our dog.

Speaker 74 And we all have names that start with the letter J.

Speaker 11 Listening since 2021.

Speaker 74 I hit my girlfriend, parents, a neighbor in the mouth.

Speaker 108 We're excited to return the value of the show and form of our towns, maybe even some treasure before long.

Speaker 58 Thanks for keeping us sane with the show.

Speaker 108 Regards from Maine.

Speaker 109 Maine. Oh, man.

Speaker 58 Having anyone from Maine is a win.

Speaker 68 Triple J.

Speaker 169 Triple J. Thank you very much, Triple J.

Speaker 36 So the art generator came up when I used

Speaker 95 the Microsoft browser, but it won't come up with Firefox.

Speaker 152 Oh, Firefox.

Speaker 18 You know, Firefox,

Speaker 252 they've gone all woke now.

Speaker 180 Oh, they've been woke for a long time.

Speaker 106 That's why that guy quit and went to start Bravo.

Speaker 12 Yeah, but they're Bravo.

Speaker 270 It's the Bravo browser, everybody.

Speaker 107 I always say that.

Speaker 166 I haven't used Firefox in years.

Speaker 108 And I have a suspicion that they're blocking stuff.

Speaker 123 I know that there's

Speaker 166 forks of Firefox, and they're even woker than Firefox.

Speaker 180 Well, it's like Mastodon's so woke.

Speaker 6 Well,

Speaker 207 only mastodon.com.

Speaker 52 No, all of them. Mastodon.social.
There's a lot of,

Speaker 36 I would say, 90% of the Mastodon instances

Speaker 52 are woke, super woke.

Speaker 5 Not as bad as Blue Sky, which took over the woke contingency.

Speaker 48 Let's check in Blue Sky and let's see if anyone's yelling at me.

Speaker 58 I check Blue Sky maybe one time a month.

Speaker 72 Oh, I have 22 notifications.

Speaker 197 Let's see.

Speaker 4 22 notifications.

Speaker 50 The same exact effing people who say this guy was a guest in America, get him to F out, or the people in any other country who scream, I'm an American, why are you arresting me?

Speaker 71 I demand it.

Speaker 68 No, this is the same guy.

Speaker 87 This one guy who posts 22 times.

Speaker 193 Okay.

Speaker 192 All right. Goodbye.
He doesn't like you.

Speaker 68 No, no, it's blue sky.

Speaker 60 Nobody likes me.

Speaker 48 Nobody likes me over there.

Speaker 8 Nobody likes anybody over there.

Speaker 54 They're just a bunch of haters. Yeah, they are.

Speaker 155 So again, thank you very much, Data.

Speaker 42 We appreciate that. Now we want to thank the people who gave us the treasure of the three Ts.

Speaker 127 You got Triple J, Triple T, Time, Talent, and Treasure.

Speaker 78 Artists, thank you all so much.

Speaker 108 And NoAgendaArtGenerator.com.

Speaker 74 Don't use Firefox if you want to upload, but you can use the Microsoft product or Bravo.

Speaker 110 Both seem to work perfectly fine.

Speaker 22 Bravo.

Speaker 12 Bravo. Bravo.

Speaker 127 So we thank everybody who sends us financial support, $50 and above.

Speaker 174 And we we give you all the numbers. We tell you exactly what they've done.

Speaker 155 And so you can play along at home.

Speaker 214 And if we have an extra special incentive for people who support us with $200 or more, you get an official Hollywood credit.

Speaker 191 You can tell their official because you can go on imdb.com and list yourself there.

Speaker 155 And you can see that there's over a thousand people who have no agenda associate executive producer credits there.

Speaker 78 $200 and above

Speaker 222 will get you that credit, which is good for a lifetime.

Speaker 60 And And we also will read your note.

Speaker 124 $300 and above, you get the coveted executive producership, and we will read your note.

Speaker 194 And we kick it off with Ty Ryan Everett from Port Angeles, Washington.

Speaker 76 Speaking of woke, isn't Port Angeles super woke?

Speaker 2 Except for

Speaker 21 the guy, this is Sir Tim from Squim.

Speaker 265 He is the guy who's going to be running the boards and taking part in the Pod Angeles studios.

Speaker 8 Oh, that's right.

Speaker 290 I see.

Speaker 151 So he came in with $1,200, and here's his note.

Speaker 99 Hello, John.

Speaker 55 Two separate donations of seven and five.

Speaker 127 My name is T.

Speaker 149 Ryan Everett.

Speaker 73 I am the studio manager of the new Pod Angeles podcast studio in Port Angeles, Washington.

Speaker 12 All right.

Speaker 145 I'm also an avid No Agenda listener.

Speaker 11 I have been so since 2014.

Speaker 72 I heard through the grapevine about a podcast that might just interest me.

Speaker 76 So I did.

Speaker 145 I listened and I didn't stop.

Speaker 222 My brother Eric with a C, who also listens, knew I was a douchebag and donated $300 to make me an executive producer of show 1457 and to dedouche me.

Speaker 108 My father passed away recently and left me some treasure that he wanted to share with you.

Speaker 47 Do you think that was in his will?

Speaker 118 Maybe.

Speaker 259 Well, that's excellent. We need more of that.

Speaker 222 Well, he says he wanted me to share.

Speaker 162 He left me some treasure

Speaker 166 that wanted to share with you, the best podcast in the universe.

Speaker 74 The enclosed $700 is to bring me up to full night status.

Speaker 162 The other $500 is to become a Commodore as I would like to be T.

Speaker 74 Ryan Everett Commodore to the Port of the Angels.

Speaker 78 I would also like to be knighted as Sir Tim from Squim.

Speaker 151 And I would like Korean barbecue and red dragon at the roundtable.

Speaker 213 And he goes on to say, I recently watched a documentary about heroes and why they jump into action while others just watch.

Speaker 125 They found that heroes have a larger amygdala than those that just watch them.

Speaker 79 Hmm.

Speaker 12 Interesting.

Speaker 244 There's also one other thing that goes along with this donation.

Speaker 146 I feel it's time, and I believe Mimi agrees that the Pod Angelus Studio is ready for business.

Speaker 206 I'm excited and willing to learn from the Pod Father and the Tech Grouch as they truly have the best podcast in the universe.

Speaker 92 And it also gives me the opportunity to steal and save Adam's settings on the Roadcaster Pro 2.

Speaker 41 Oh, really? Now?

Speaker 92 You think $1,200 is going to get my settings?

Speaker 12 Hmm.

Speaker 201 You can get his settings for free.

Speaker 74 I want a piece of that.

Speaker 108 I want a piece of that Pod Angelus studio deal.

Speaker 72 You should give me some shares in that.

Speaker 245 I also must disagree with four more years because I believe perfection has no time limit.

Speaker 11 You owe it to your producers and your fans around the world.

Speaker 125 Humbly, T.

Speaker 258 Ryan Everett, Sir Tim from Squim, Commodore of the Port of Angels.

Speaker 146 All right.

Speaker 42 I will have your Korean barbecue lined up, and I already ordered the Red Dragon.

Speaker 205 And thank you very much.

Speaker 258 Soon to be, Sir Tim from Squim.

Speaker 135 There's a funny story about Sir Tim.

Speaker 265 He's talking to Mimi and he says, Do you think Adam's going to come up and visit the studios?

Speaker 67 That was Mimi's reaction.

Speaker 270 That is pretty funny.

Speaker 26 Why would I do that?

Speaker 89 Give me a piece of that outfit.

Speaker 61 That was my reaction the second one.

Speaker 202 Hey, you should give me like 5%.

Speaker 68 Founder shares. I might consider

Speaker 135 you get some action.

Speaker 34 Yeah. Yeah, I want some back end.

Speaker 95 Harry Seward.

Speaker 98 Maybe

Speaker 103 hole on this deal.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 56 Yeah.

Speaker 95 Woodstock, Georgia, 103.342.

Speaker 3 That's good.

Speaker 96 Very nice.

Speaker 168 I'm coming to you from FEMA Region 4 with hat in hand

Speaker 21 and asking forgiveness for 4.5 years of douchebaggery.

Speaker 55 First discovered the greatest podcast in the universe in the 2020 election.

Speaker 61 I finally made the long overdue donation to the show in the amount of 103.342 and we'll be starting a sustaining donation each month, which is a good idea.

Speaker 201 Very good.

Speaker 36 We've lost a lot of our sustaining donors.

Speaker 66 Yep.

Speaker 2 If it would suit the peerage committee, I'd like to be

Speaker 213 instinited as Sir Harry Seward Seaward of FEMA Region 4.

Speaker 200 I would

Speaker 200 need a dedouching.

Speaker 10 You've been dedouched.

Speaker 63 Is that Seaward or C word?

Speaker 160 That's the question.

Speaker 55 Seaward. I think it's C Ward.

Speaker 85 It's like C word. C Ward.
Okay. C-Ward.
Not C-word.

Speaker 206 He's not just a C-word. Okay.

Speaker 267 This W-A-R-D.

Speaker 85 Ward.

Speaker 164 A note to fellow listeners.

Speaker 113 If I had made a recruiting, a recurring donation of less than $225 per show.

Speaker 108 That's $2.25.

Speaker 179 $2.25 a show since I started listening.

Speaker 184 I would have been knighted a while ago and could have avoided a 4.5 years of bowel-shaking guilt.

Speaker 8 Don't be a Harry Seward.

Speaker 55 I would also like to request emergency health and jobs karma.

Speaker 135 We can do that.

Speaker 61 The health karma is for my mother, possibly the sweetest and most generous woman who has ever graced the earth.

Speaker 134 She's 81

Speaker 36 and very healthy, but was recently diagnosed with this,

Speaker 261 I can't even pronounce this,

Speaker 85 a cell carcinoma, encasing her car keratid artery that is wrecking, wreaking havoc on her body.

Speaker 61 It's causing her to pass out unexpectedly.

Speaker 90 That's no good.

Speaker 5 Go into AFib.

Speaker 249 Go into AFib, and she's currently only able to get

Speaker 259 pureed foods and drink thick liquids.

Speaker 189 This job's karma is for me, as I need to find a new role that will allow me to spend more time with her and help care for her.

Speaker 164 As a dude named Ben named Harry, another dude named Ben, with nearly 30 years of IT experience, I have a few good leads, and I'm confident that some karma from the No Agenda nation can push me over the top.

Speaker 55 Jingle requests are eating the dogs and due to climate change.

Speaker 191 Yes, and for you and for your mom, I will add in some white Christian nationalist prayer.

Speaker 19 They're eating the dogs.

Speaker 275 Due to climate change.

Speaker 293 Jobs, jobs, jobs, and jobs.

Speaker 234 Let's vote for jobs.

Speaker 130 You've got comment.

Speaker 11 And that brings us to our next executive producer, John Fieldman.

Speaker 191 Feelman, F-E-H-L-M-A-N.

Speaker 91 Feelman.

Speaker 71 Hello, Feilman.

Speaker 102 Thank you all for the amazing work that you both do.

Speaker 222 This is my second time donating, but the value I've received through listening to you both has been much more valuable than what I've been able to contribute so far.

Speaker 47 A lot of people say that, but we understand.

Speaker 102 You both were instrumental in helping my family and I remain sane during the lunacy of the COVID years, like we're not in lunacy now.

Speaker 102 We knew there was something off with the messaging machine of the M5M, and y'all were vital in showing us it was nonsense because you because you both kept the receipts.

Speaker 74 This donation brings me to knighthood, so please knight me Sir John of the North State.

Speaker 18 I request

Speaker 251 Lagonitas Hi-Fi Cannabis Drinks.

Speaker 197 I've never heard of this.

Speaker 203 Is that what it's Lagonitas?

Speaker 47 Hold on, I just lost my, yeah.

Speaker 258 Lagonitas Hi-Fi Cannabis Drinks and a Harris Ranch ribeye at the roundtable.

Speaker 108 Could you please play the Noodle Boy jingle as well as Dvorak.org/slash NA, which is my son's favorite?

Speaker 247 Happy to do it.

Speaker 47 Don't go to the website.

Speaker 26 Thank you again for all that you do and four more years.

Speaker 295 I'm gonna shoot you in the face with my noodle gun. You racist piece of shit.

Speaker 295 I got my pasta Glock locked and loaded.

Speaker 217 Dvorak.org slash NA.

Speaker 216 all right

Speaker 211 now.

Speaker 94 I got another note, but before I read this one, I want to mention, I want to thank Robert Majors for sending me a big bag, giant triple bags of Hawkins, which are also called cheesies from Canada through Amazon.

Speaker 136 It's a, it's a, like, it's like a Cheetos.

Speaker 135 It's like that, that extruded cheese thing that we make in this country, only it's made with real cheddar.

Speaker 108 You mean like Cheetos?

Speaker 8 Cheetos, yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 135 Only the substrate, I don't believe, is as good as the product that we get.

Speaker 92 I love the term substrate. I think that should be used more often.

Speaker 102 Do people even know what substrate is anymore?

Speaker 249 It's the underlying architecture.

Speaker 157 Yes, substrate.

Speaker 87 Fantastic word.

Speaker 116 Word of the day.

Speaker 55 So these Hawkins, I guess they don't advertise them.

Speaker 54 I've been to Canada a lot and I've never seen this product.

Speaker 71 When's the last time you were in Canada?

Speaker 8 Well, it was years ago, but besides the point, these Hawkins have been around forever.

Speaker 40 I hear things have changed.

Speaker 67 I don't know. I doubt it.

Speaker 94 But this donation comes for Sir Anonymous, and he

Speaker 135 sent a piece of paper in

Speaker 135 with a check.

Speaker 67 And his letterhead says crackpot and buzzkill on it.

Speaker 160 Pretty interesting. Oh, that's his letterhead?

Speaker 169 That's interesting.

Speaker 96 He's a donor.

Speaker 150 It's been around for a while.

Speaker 8 A donor.

Speaker 201 For the show,

Speaker 189 he's got a long note, but he only wants this to be read.

Speaker 183 For the show, thank you for your courage and your continued deconstruction.

Speaker 265 It's been too long since my last donation.

Speaker 115 I'm sorry, my last tithing.

Speaker 201 Please dedouch me.

Speaker 295 You've been dedouched.

Speaker 168 No jingles, no karma.

Speaker 2 This is Sir Anymous, the Viscount of the ADFC and the Arapahoe County.

Speaker 129 Sir Anonymous, not Sir Anonymous.

Speaker 137 Sir Anonymous. Not anonymous.

Speaker 12 All right. Thank you.

Speaker 155 We move on to 333.33, one of our favorite donation amounts from Sir Jeff in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Speaker 194 And he just says, ITM, Sir Jeff, Baron of PA, Route 33.

Speaker 132 And thank you for your support and the short note.

Speaker 137 Onward to Sir Mark.

Speaker 21 Yeah.

Speaker 12 He's in Tokyo.

Speaker 135 No, it's Mark Dithen. He's in Tokyo.

Speaker 50 He would be Grand Duke.

Speaker 144 No, Archduke.

Speaker 4 No, Archduke.

Speaker 53 Archduke, Archduke,

Speaker 149 Archduke.

Speaker 250 333.33, dear John and Adam, please wish Dame Astrid a very happy birthday for yesterday, Saturday, the 22nd of March.

Speaker 55 We're so happy she is back in full force after her trip up just before Christmas, thanks to all your good wishes and incredibly efficient Japanese health services.

Speaker 8 Her recovery was miraculous, just like Steve Austin.

Speaker 135 This time with 6 million yen, they had the technology to build her back better.

Speaker 4 Her back is good.

Speaker 2 Her build her back better.

Speaker 5 There you go.

Speaker 253 With Kyocera inside.

Speaker 38 Hey, I had one of those flip phones, the Kayocera.

Speaker 68 Yeah, nice.

Speaker 65 Early birthday wishes to John for April 5th.

Speaker 249 We're truly the gang of Aries

Speaker 95 with my birthday up shortly, too.

Speaker 21 Love from Tokyo, Sir Mark, Archduke of Japan, Japan Sea, and all the disputed islands.

Speaker 47 Oh, yeah, that's right. He's going to be 60.

Speaker 157 Big 6-0.

Speaker 15 And happy birthday, Daymastrid.

Speaker 68 Kiss, kiss from afar.

Speaker 11 333 from Anonymous in Bailey, Colorado.

Speaker 208 Bailey, Colorado Anonymous says, thank you for all you do.

Speaker 44 And we say, thank you very much.

Speaker 90 Meanwhile, Mary

Speaker 180 Verhanovich Verhanovic

Speaker 96 in East Lansing, Michigan comes in with 300 bucks with no note whatsoever. It came in as a check.
Wanted to just give her the double up karma.

Speaker 138 You've got it.

Speaker 124 Double up on the way.

Speaker 131 You've got.

Speaker 131 Double up

Speaker 81 karma.

Speaker 73 Which brings us to our first associate executive producer with 233.33.

Speaker 191 It is from

Speaker 60 The Candyman, which I think may be Stolen Valor, because the Candyman, as far as I know,

Speaker 58 is our knight there in Finland.

Speaker 222 But there can be more than one Candyman.

Speaker 245 ITM gentlemen, your San Francisco refugee, the Candyman here, lover of eggs and protector of bunnies, the chocolate kind, of course.

Speaker 26 I have a real boots on the ground update for all you knights and dames out there.

Speaker 149 Always eat the bunny ears first.

Speaker 24 They're calorie-free.

Speaker 173 They really are.

Speaker 152 Well, there's a tip of the day.

Speaker 26 Need some bunny ears for your loved ones?

Speaker 74 Ah, hop on over to littlejohnscandies.com and you'll use code ITM10 for 10% off your eggs and bunnies and other handcrafted treats.

Speaker 108 Four more years, but no jingles, says Christopher.

Speaker 160 Yes.

Speaker 36 I got the batch of stuff from them finally and the hoodie.

Speaker 18 Did you get the turtles?

Speaker 68 Did you get turtles?

Speaker 152 We got turtles.

Speaker 106 I never got turtles.

Speaker 71 What kind of candies did you get then? Did you open the box?

Speaker 2 I did a various,

Speaker 265 some fudge and some toffee.

Speaker 12 Yeah, the toffee.

Speaker 183 Two different boxes.

Speaker 96 No turtles.

Speaker 125 No, the turtles were amazing.

Speaker 157 Turtles.

Speaker 141 But I also got a hoodie.

Speaker 116 Yes, I got a hoodie, too.

Speaker 147 It was pink.

Speaker 127 And guess what?

Speaker 203 Tina hijacked it right away.

Speaker 21 No, mine was black.

Speaker 138 Mine was black.

Speaker 5 It wasn't pink.

Speaker 109 I got the gay one.

Speaker 21 Well, they send you the pink one.

Speaker 96 That makes sense.

Speaker 155 Yeah, they gave me the gay one.

Speaker 47 So Tina took it.

Speaker 132 It's good.

Speaker 42 Thank you, Candy Man. Appreciate it.

Speaker 21 You can get the next one, too, while you're here.

Speaker 24 Yes, that would be the wheat.

Speaker 102 Wheat from London, Ontario, Candinavia, 321.1.

Speaker 206 No,

Speaker 206 232.1.

Speaker 139 Sorry.

Speaker 74 Time has passed since my last donation, but here are, ah, this will have to be an upgrade.

Speaker 124 Here are 333 Canada-American Looney Toon Buckaroos.

Speaker 108 Yes, we do honor that, even though you don't have a statehood yet.

Speaker 74 Not sure if I was credited with this for my earlier donations, but it isn't going to matter right now or right shortly.

Speaker 18 Do not listen to We the 51st podcast until it happens.

Speaker 124 Sorry about your luck, John.

Speaker 147 I guess we'll just whine and cry our way to being Americans.

Speaker 129 To my fellow hypnotized Canadians, what does it mean to you to be a Canadian?

Speaker 88 Is it being ruled and controlled and having your history derived by the Royal Pedophilia Empire?

Speaker 145 I think you'd get arrested in Canada for saying that.

Speaker 112 Are you attached to the policies and regulations that are taking your firearms rights away?

Speaker 258 Do you embrace how a Western central banker and elite globalist ignored any previous rules and walked in as your leader named Mark Carney?

Speaker 50 Please flood our email, wethe51st at gmail.com, and tell us what it is.

Speaker 25 Now that your media is pounding into your pea brains to buy Canadian,

Speaker 112 where were you all during COVID when they were shutting small businesses down?

Speaker 11 Why would you not want to become an energetic and economic powerhouse of the world?

Speaker 222 You can hang on to your precious naphthalanthem and your Tim Horton's coffees and the image of the media has built for you.

Speaker 24 I love Canada.

Speaker 50 Separate from the evil crown and the love Canada teaming up with America to expose these demons.

Speaker 149 All First Nations should negotiate the conditions of the deal as they were the real losers of the war of 1812.

Speaker 24 Wake up, Yeshua is king.

Speaker 132 Wake up, Yeshua is king.

Speaker 266 There you go.

Speaker 169 The wheat.

Speaker 12 He is indeed.

Speaker 76 Thank you.

Speaker 73 And that concludes our executive and associate executive producer, Thankage for episode 1749.

Speaker 74 We're almost at the big 1750.

Speaker 47 1,750 shows. It's unbelievable.

Speaker 2 Thank you to the next show.

Speaker 68 Next show, that's correct.

Speaker 102 Sounds like a donation amount to me.

Speaker 36 Sounds like, yeah, $17.50 or $1,700.

Speaker 100 $150.

Speaker 53 I think that's the one.

Speaker 12 $17,500 or $1,000, $1,750,000.

Speaker 15 I'm just saying.

Speaker 10 It's all possible.

Speaker 102 Put us in your will.

Speaker 206 Thank you, executive and associate executive producers.

Speaker 92 These credits are completely legitimate for you to use in scenarios of entertainment and Hollywood. You can use it on your LinkedIn and your profile.

Speaker 48 You can put it on your resume.

Speaker 155 And you can also, if you don't have one already, open up an imdb.com account and proudly post it there.

Speaker 74 We'll be thanking the other donors, $50 and above, in our second segment.

Speaker 11 Once again, thank you for supporting the best podcast in the universe, episode 1749.

Speaker 119 My formula is this:

Speaker 256 we go out, we hit people in the mouth.

Speaker 19 They're eating the dogs.

Speaker 19 I have.

Speaker 12 No, go ahead. No, go ahead.

Speaker 266 After you, sir.

Speaker 86 Let's do these

Speaker 36 series of clips from PBS on because I think this is a show title.

Speaker 95 Deep fake nudes.

Speaker 195 A new report offers a troubling look at the latest digital threat to young people.

Speaker 56 Threats?

Speaker 118 Deep fake nudes.

Speaker 195 These are realistic photos and videos that have been altered using AI technology to depict the subjects in sexually explicit situations and then spread online.

Speaker 11 Stephanie Sai spoke with Melissa Strobel.

Speaker 195 She's vice president of research and insights at Thorne, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting children online.

Speaker 234 Melissa, thank you so much for joining us. Before we get to these findings, could you start by just explaining what deep fake nudes are?

Speaker 276 Absolutely.

Speaker 232 So deep fake nudes are synthetic media creations that depict a real person in a sexually suggestive or explicit situation or activity.

Speaker 234 What were the main findings in this report? Who was impacted the most by the creation and spread of these deep fakes?

Speaker 232 So, what we heard from young people in this survey, and we surveyed about 1,200 13 to 20-year-olds, is unfortunately this is becoming all too common of an experience within their landscape and growing up.

Speaker 232 In particular, one in eight told us that they knew someone who had been particularly targeted, specifically targeted by and impacted by deep fake nudes.

Speaker 232 On top of that, that, we heard that one in 17 themselves had been targeted by deep fake nude abuse. Now, sometimes that number can feel a little bit small.
One in 17, that's a small percentage.

Speaker 232 But when we think about what 17 looks like in our communities, that's the size of our kids' classroom. That's the size of their soccer team.

Speaker 232 So this is really far too high a number for kids to be experiencing this type of victimization.

Speaker 11 I like the topic.

Speaker 123 I do not like it as a show title.

Speaker 169 I'm just going to tell you right now.

Speaker 135 Deep fake nudes you don't like as a show title?

Speaker 86 No, it's

Speaker 98 not going to be a show title. There's nothing I can do about it.

Speaker 141 You're going to veto it no matter what I do.

Speaker 197 Yes, that's correct.

Speaker 57 I'm vetoing it.

Speaker 55 I'm pre-vetoing it.

Speaker 189 But I don't know why you have to announce that on the show itself.

Speaker 60 Well, I'm going to tell you why when you're done with your clips.

Speaker 249 It's a tease. Here we go at the

Speaker 82 tease.

Speaker 246 By the way, let's stop this.

Speaker 80 Stop the show.

Speaker 106 There's three clips here. Yes.

Speaker 259 This is nothing even remotely new.

Speaker 79 No.

Speaker 192 The day that Photoshop came out, I don't have the exact day, but I think it was in probably the 90s, early 90s, or maybe the late 80s.

Speaker 150 Could look that up. I'll look it up.

Speaker 184 Immediately, somebody would take somebody's head because you can easily take a head off of somebody with a Photoshop.

Speaker 198 cut the head off and put it on a nude body and have them doing something, whatever the nude is, because there's always been porn around it.

Speaker 36 You could drop someone else's head on. It's not a new thing.

Speaker 21 And I know people were complaining about they've had to pass laws long before AI came around to keep people from doing this and then posting them as a revenge porn.

Speaker 51 Well, it's usually called.

Speaker 149 Since you stopped the show for this commentary,

Speaker 28 yes, that is true.

Speaker 214 But the speed and ease at which

Speaker 102 generative AI, which is not to be confused with agentic AI or quantum,

Speaker 39 it's too easy.

Speaker 108 So it's just so simple to make it.

Speaker 161 And the

Speaker 203 lifelikeness of it is pretty good.

Speaker 148 You don't really need the skills that were previously required for Photoshop.

Speaker 244 And if you hear the numbers,

Speaker 162 they're quite staggering.

Speaker 155 So it's nothing new, but it has gotten a bit out of control.

Speaker 94 Okay, I can accept that.

Speaker 96 But it's nothing new. No.

Speaker 82 And I think the other thing is I think the kids are aware that this is bull crap when they see these pictures.

Speaker 3 Well, they must be aware of the fact that these pictures are fake.

Speaker 156 Yeah, but the harm that is done to children

Speaker 74 when it's passed around, I mean,

Speaker 74 for my money, it comes back to don't give your kid a phone, don't let them on social media, don't let them take pictures and post them of themselves.

Speaker 222 You may think it's what the kids do right now, but you know, you could also...

Speaker 96 That's been my policy too.

Speaker 18 And this has been your policy for as long as I've known you.

Speaker 24 It's like, why would you do that?

Speaker 115 Yeah, it doesn't make sense.

Speaker 261 Okay, on clip two.

Speaker 232 The other important thing that came through here was about the availability of this technology.

Speaker 232 And for the kids who told us that they had created deep fake nudes of someone else, the technology is really readily available.

Speaker 232 It's available through social media, through browsers, and through app stores. But the good news is, is that most kids realize this is a harmful behavior.

Speaker 232 And so there's a lot of opportunity for us to be having conversations with them and reinforcing conversations.

Speaker 234 You know, one interesting part of your research that I read were the responses from some of these teens. Even though we call these manipulated images deep fakes, in a way they're very real, right?

Speaker 234 Especially if you're a victim of deep fakes.

Speaker 232 Yeah, very true. For those young people who've experienced deep fake nude abuse, they've shared with us stories of severe anxiety, fear,

Speaker 232 shame, as well as worries that they won't be believed or that their experiences will be dismissed because of the involvement of AI generative technologies.

Speaker 234 What is being done about AI safety right now? What should be being done? Because we're basically talking about minor sexual abuse.

Speaker 232 This is absolutely right. At the end of the day, whether AI generative technologies was involved or not, an explicit image of a minor is still child sexual abuse material.

Speaker 232 And that's a really important starting point.

Speaker 177 I'm trying to sentence what should be being done.

Speaker 265 I mean, that's a very

Speaker 108 NPR.

Speaker 44 I'm trying to create a deep fake nude of you with Grok while we're doing the story.

Speaker 49 And Grok is creating images, but it's not what I'm asking for.

Speaker 94 Why don't you do one of yourself?

Speaker 115 You got a lot more photos online than I do.

Speaker 140 It's more fun.

Speaker 47 I want you to see what it's like.

Speaker 2 Okay, we'll go to clip three and then we'll look at it later.

Speaker 232 There are responses across the ecosystem taking place. For example, our organization has been working directly with tech companies to make sure that these models are being built as safely as possible.

Speaker 232 And if they are aware of abusive models, that those are being made unavailable so that they can't be so readily accessed. But there's a lot more work to be done.

Speaker 232 Right now, we don't have a consistent institutional response that's reinforcing what kids already suspect. And that's an opportunity where we need to lean in and offer more guidance for kids.

Speaker 234 In the meantime, what should parents and other caretakers be doing to make sure that their teens are safe?

Speaker 232 Having really open and early conversations with the young people in our lives is going to be one of the most important steps we can be doing at home.

Speaker 232 Make sure that kids understand this is not a joke, it is not funny, and it carries real consequences for the kids that are being targeted.

Speaker 232 Naming that openly and directly at home is an important first step. But we can be doing more for other adults within our communities, such as within schools.

Speaker 232 There's a lot of need for there to be clear guidance within schools for their school bodies that this is not permissible behavior.

Speaker 232 There are student handbooks in place that address things like harassment.

Speaker 232 This is something that we can lean into and acknowledge this type of emerging risk and have policies in place that make sure that schools are prepared to respond in a victim-centered way.

Speaker 74 Now, was there any other substance to this report before you cut it up?

Speaker 106 And I have a reason for asking.

Speaker 135 Not that I know of.

Speaker 222 Did they at any point mention the first lady of the United States, Melania Trump?

Speaker 4 No.

Speaker 108 This is why it's not a good show title.

Speaker 18 This is her actual issue.

Speaker 31 She had a huge roundtable.

Speaker 74 The president introduced it.

Speaker 161 I'm thinking maybe three, four weeks ago.

Speaker 222 She's supporting a bill that aims to stop AI-generated nudes.

Speaker 193 It's called the Take It Down Act.

Speaker 145 And it's literally.

Speaker 84 I thought there was already a law that required you to take this.

Speaker 58 No, no, they never got it passed.

Speaker 12 They never got it passed.

Speaker 88 This is supported by

Speaker 74 Senator Cruz, also Amy Klobuchar.

Speaker 166 So it's a bipartisan.

Speaker 72 Meta even has come out and said that they support it.

Speaker 74 And it literally is called, you know, the problem is called deep fake nudes. And I am

Speaker 74 not surprised, but shocked that NPR would not take the time to

Speaker 113 imagine that you bring that up.

Speaker 34 Yeah, to mention that this is the first lady's.

Speaker 168 It's an interesting example of them not telling you certain things. It's like the clips I played earlier where they wouldn't tell you how much money was being squandered on that stupid

Speaker 189 study on vaccine hesitancy.

Speaker 5 Yes.

Speaker 36 Why wasn't that mentioned?

Speaker 55 And what you just said should have been mentioned in this report.

Speaker 6 Absolutely.

Speaker 121 As the kicker.

Speaker 24 Yep.

Speaker 12 No.

Speaker 155 No, they can't do that because then all of a sudden, oh, no, it's a Trump thing.

Speaker 143 And then no one will want to pass it.

Speaker 272 This NPR and PBS at this point in history is just useless.

Speaker 86 Yes.

Speaker 11 So are are we just going to stop playing clips from them now?

Speaker 67 I'm sorry, the mic's not.

Speaker 53 I can't. The speakers aren't working.

Speaker 165 Hello?

Speaker 265 Is this thing on?

Speaker 82 So

Speaker 163 I'll pivot from this into a little bit of AI talk here for a moment,

Speaker 252 as it seems the whole world has now gone agentic AI.

Speaker 92 which as far as I can, and many people have emailed me about this, and I appreciate it.

Speaker 193 It's really machine learning.

Speaker 48 So they're just saying it's AI.

Speaker 46 Oh, it's AI, it's AI, it's all AI.

Speaker 147 And, but it's, you know,

Speaker 127 the machine goes in, finds a form, understands the question, fills out the form for you.

Speaker 92 And this brings me to a minor boots on the ground.

Speaker 252 Tina had ordered a dress online, lots of lots of online shopping.

Speaker 153 Dresses are very inexpensive online.

Speaker 161 And

Speaker 99 so,

Speaker 100 and it was this typical, oh, it's in stock, and it was in stock in this color that she wanted.

Speaker 203 And she bought one for herself.

Speaker 45 She bought one for a girlfriend who she's visiting in Florida at the end of the month, different color.

Speaker 161 And then she gets an email.

Speaker 74 Oh, sorry, this one was not in stock.

Speaker 174 So she fires, she goes to the website.

Speaker 100 She,

Speaker 99 no, actually, it was on email.

Speaker 50 She fires off an email and says, Well, you know, this is not cool because you told me it was in stock.

Speaker 147 It said so on your website.

Speaker 113 Is this Timu?

Speaker 154 No, no, no.

Speaker 71 It's an American company.

Speaker 153 I don't know what the name of it was.

Speaker 60 And she said, well, then can I get it in the same color that I had it in?

Speaker 70 No,

Speaker 70 we can't do that.

Speaker 74 We can't change the order.

Speaker 101 But it will be back in stock

Speaker 60 April 23rd.

Speaker 155 And she says, well, yeah, but I'm going, I need this to take to my girlfriend in Florida at the end of this month.

Speaker 72 Well, then can't you just refund my money?

Speaker 25 No, we can't refund your money.

Speaker 24 So now Tina's mad and she's like, Oh, yeah, oh yeah.

Speaker 11 Well, you can have a very unhappy customer, and I'm gonna blast you everywhere on social media.

Speaker 23 And my husband's the pod father, and you do not want to do this to me.

Speaker 33 And then she got an email back, Oh, hi, hi, hi.

Speaker 56 It's Emily.

Speaker 206 That was the bot.

Speaker 222 I'm taking over here.

Speaker 193 Yeah, we can definitely refund your money.

Speaker 26 So she was conversing with a bot,

Speaker 26 and these bots are no good.

Speaker 86 This is the problem with the so-called AI, it's just, it sucks.

Speaker 222 And I think that for all the money that goes into training these bots to make them even resemble some human emotion, or dare I say, be empathetic to the customer.

Speaker 221 Well, this would not have been an issue.

Speaker 168 Then I just, I'm going to argue this.

Speaker 84 All right.

Speaker 141 The bot could have done, if the bot was programmed with the old adage, the classic retailer's adage,

Speaker 97 the customer is always right,

Speaker 82 this wouldn't have happened.

Speaker 199 The bot was programmed by some nerd that never been in retail, doesn't know that the customer's always right.

Speaker 120 And this is what you get.

Speaker 55 This is the responsibility of the CEO of the company.

Speaker 26 I don't think so.

Speaker 70 I'm not so sure that these bots are so easily trainable by these online retail outfits.

Speaker 60 They're getting a bot from somewhere.

Speaker 50 They run it through their, you know, the here comes the consultant.

Speaker 108 Well, it's going to cost you $15,000, but we're going to train it on all of your shopping experiences.

Speaker 100 And then it just sucks.

Speaker 124 And at the end of the day, you would have been better to just have a human being answer this.

Speaker 33 Human beings are the new AI.

Speaker 72 I'm telling you, it's going to happen.

Speaker 74 This bot experience sucks.

Speaker 149 And it doesn't seem like it's going to have much of a future anyway, because the pivot to quantum is here.

Speaker 124 The pivot. The pivot to quantum is here.

Speaker 205 And the number one AI guy,

Speaker 172 what's his name?

Speaker 63 Kwong.

Speaker 145 Kuang Jensen.

Speaker 74 Jensen.

Speaker 76 What's his name?

Speaker 180 Jensen Wang. Jensen Wang.

Speaker 33 Jensen Wang, who is now, who just did an entire presentation of their new upcoming quantum chip for quantum AI, screwed the pooch.

Speaker 296 The story of quantum computing stocks this year really has been all about volatility. These stocks experienced remarkable growth just over the last year.

Speaker 296 You've seen triple, quadruple-digit percentage gains. And it really started when Alphabet announced their quantum chip breakthrough in early December.

Speaker 296 The sector saw a huge rise or spike, but then on January 8th, the sell-off continued, or you saw it really dip down.

Speaker 296 And that was after CEO Jensen Wong from NVIDIA stated at CES that quantum tech was likely 15 to 30 years away from practical implementation. The market reaction was immediate and severe.

Speaker 296 So you can really see that dip on your screen to the left of those. RegettiFeld 45%, D-Wave Quantum down 36%, IonQ down 39%, Quantum Computing 43%, all in a single trading session.
So you get it.

Speaker 296 You see the volatility. And today's event, where NVIDIA's founder, CEO, Jensen Wong, He's going to share the stage with 14 quantum CEOs.

Speaker 296 Not all of them are CEOs of publicly traded companies, but there's going to be, it appears to be really an attempt to rebuild the relationship with the quantum computing sector.

Speaker 296 And the timing is particularly noteworthy as well. It was announced this Quantum Day, just one week after

Speaker 296 he made those CES comments in January. And following Tuesday's announcement in this keynote, that NVIDIA is also developing a quantum computing research center in Boston.

Speaker 296 So you can see that his tone, I guess, is more pleasant, not pleasant, but just more optimistic about the technology.

Speaker 296 And despite today's gathering, though, quantum stocks continue to trade down heading into the event and remain substantially below their previous highs.

Speaker 296 The ongoing volatility really underscores the speculative nature of investments in this emerging technology sector, which we continue to cover given that volatility, guys.

Speaker 41 I think

Speaker 92 Jensen Wang is a great porn name.

Speaker 201 He should consider a career change.

Speaker 72 Quantum computing is the new climate change, John.

Speaker 47 That's what that is.

Speaker 65 It's all bull.

Speaker 114 All but smoke and mirrors.

Speaker 99 It's all of this, this AI, it's all fantastic for making deep fake nudes.

Speaker 118 It's really good at that.

Speaker 74 It's great at making, you know, Scaramanga makes movies about Jesus in a coffee shop.

Speaker 248 It's great for that stuff.

Speaker 106 But I just, you know,

Speaker 17 we know your position.

Speaker 70 But I would be all for, I mean, think of the exit strategy.

Speaker 41 If we could train an AI to have our views and our insight, and we have 17 years of transcripts and audio to train an LLM, a large language multimodal model on it, and do our voices and answer an email or two, we could kick back and relax, baby.

Speaker 38 How come we can't get this?

Speaker 82 We could.

Speaker 106 Show me.

Speaker 52 Well, I'm not going to do it.

Speaker 4 Why?

Speaker 21 For one thing, it wouldn't have the

Speaker 168 contemporaneous gags.

Speaker 12 So you're telling me.

Speaker 177 It would be old material.

Speaker 61 The jokes would be recycled.

Speaker 52 Of course, a lot of people haven't heard the material anyway.

Speaker 204 Yeah, you're making my point for me.

Speaker 221 Yeah, you might be right.

Speaker 261 But I'll talk to some people about it.

Speaker 90 Yeah, okay.

Speaker 17 Yeah.

Speaker 21 Let's go with the, they've got an insult clip here.

Speaker 55 This is a good one.

Speaker 115 This is floating around. This is

Speaker 36 Gavin Newsome on his podcast talking about Latinx.

Speaker 259 This is a clip from CNN.

Speaker 192 This is how bad it is.

Speaker 168 If Newsom's trying to get off the track, off the Democrat track to run for president by being like sensible,

Speaker 66 it's not going to happen because they're going to dog him.

Speaker 134 And here's the example.

Speaker 285 Not one person ever in my office has ever used the word Latinx.

Speaker 178 So can we finally put that to bed?

Speaker 119 But what did that even mean? No more Latinx, everybody.

Speaker 282 Well, I just didn't even know where it came from.

Speaker 256 I'm like, what are people talking about?

Speaker 297 But there was a person who used Latinx. It was actually a really important person.

Speaker 275 It was him, right?

Speaker 119 Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 178 And look, these aren't minor shifts. These are progressive issues that Gavin Newsom used to champion until fairly recently.

Speaker 243 And now he's not just walking away from them.

Speaker 178 He's sort of acting like they were never legitimate with that clip talking about Latinx in the first place. But let's just, let's take Latinx.

Speaker 178 We did find somebody who used it repeatedly in his office.

Speaker 39 Let's take a listen to this.

Speaker 285 I hope we can really paint a picture in terms of our consciousness of how impactful this has been on the Latinx community. Latinx community, the Latinx and black communities.

Speaker 285 You've got politicians that are banning not assault rifles, but the word Latinx.

Speaker 119 They're not even serious.

Speaker 107 Yeah.

Speaker 60 I think Gavin Newsom thought he could be the new Joe Rogan of the left.

Speaker 103 But it's looking more and more like Bill Burr is going to be that guy.

Speaker 89 He's showing out.

Speaker 52 Bill Burr can't do it.

Speaker 12 I don't know. I'm not saying that.
Bill Burr.

Speaker 52 Did you see Rogan is

Speaker 265 a kind of

Speaker 200 normalized American.

Speaker 267 He has questions.

Speaker 118 He's not a mean-spirited prick like Bill Burr, which is why he's funny.

Speaker 200 Bill Burr is hilarious, but he is a mean-spirited, unhappy person, classic comedian, by the way.

Speaker 115 Most of them are this way, by their nature.

Speaker 189 And Bill Burr is not of the sort of person that

Speaker 96 could bring out anything in anybody.

Speaker 247 You'd be afraid

Speaker 96 from the get-go that he's going to just slam you for something.

Speaker 52 I will say, you know, Rogan is a comedian, but Rogan is not the same kind of comedian.

Speaker 96 Rogan's more of a Jerry Seinfeld observational comedian, not a mean-spirited prick.

Speaker 43 So, no.

Speaker 193 But I do not think that precludes him from getting a big

Speaker 160 Google YouTube deal to be the Joe Robinson.

Speaker 8 No, I can get a deal, but you know, so what?

Speaker 12 Well, why don't we?

Speaker 100 Maybe that's our exit strategy. I mean, we've talked about it before.

Speaker 41 Get a deal?

Speaker 52 No, well, you can deal with the material we do.

Speaker 106 No, but we can change our material.

Speaker 12 This is like we go back to the library.

Speaker 154 No, not soft.

Speaker 92 Go, you know, let's be more empathetic.

Speaker 123 It's the empathy Joe's.

Speaker 68 The empathy show. We could do it.

Speaker 133 Be very empathetic.

Speaker 70 Yeah, well, you could.

Speaker 171 I don't know.

Speaker 108 It's against my religion.

Speaker 5 Let's go to

Speaker 36 since we talked about Newsome.

Speaker 62 Cal, cap, and trade.

Speaker 62 They're keeping this in play.

Speaker 2 I thought it was dead.

Speaker 51 The idea of cap and trade.

Speaker 127 Climate change?

Speaker 71 Cap and trade for climate change?

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 81 Under Cal.

Speaker 68 And what outfit is this?

Speaker 121 This is, I believe this is NPR.

Speaker 188 Southern California legislator Jackie Irwin can easily list the ways that the effects of climate change are hitting the state.

Speaker 299 Cycles of intense flooding, historic droughts, rising seas that threaten our coastlines, unprecedented heat waves, and closest to home for me, devastating wildfires.

Speaker 188 Those fires, like the ones that tore through Los Angeles earlier this year, are making life more expensive for all Californians.

Speaker 299 Whether through rising utility bills.

Speaker 298 Because power companies are raising prices to update their equipment and limit the risk of starting wildfires. On top of that,

Speaker 188 which are going up for homeowners to cover the massive losses.

Speaker 24 Did the Radio Labs people edit this?

Speaker 83 What is this?

Speaker 298 Insurance premiums.

Speaker 188 Which are going up for homeowners to cover the massive losses insurers like State Farm are incurring in these disasters.

Speaker 260 Poll after poll is shown this is the number one issue for California voters, the cost of living.

Speaker 188 That's James Gallagher, the Republican leader in the state assembly. His party sees an opportunity to use anxiety over costs to chip away at the supermajorities Democrats hold in both houses.

Speaker 96 We need to do something.

Speaker 260 We need to act urgently on this issue. And Republicans are prepared to do so.

Speaker 298 But Republicans still have no real leverage at the California Capitol.

Speaker 188 It's Democrats who are now facing the challenge of weighing affordability against another top party priority. reducing greenhouse gas emissions that are worsening these climate disasters.

Speaker 188 And that balancing act could result in changes to the state's landmark climate initiative, known as Cap and Trade.

Speaker 188 That program is a key way states like California and Washington have come to fight climate change on their own, apart from the federal government.

Speaker 92 You know, I was talking to one of our guys from the Koch Empire,

Speaker 197 Koch Brothers.

Speaker 191 Yeah.

Speaker 58 And, you know, California, in order to build back better,

Speaker 58 the state has determined that you need to use green lumber.

Speaker 58 And green lumber means it has not been dried.

Speaker 119 Yeah.

Speaker 57 And there's not.

Speaker 259 You can't use green lumber.

Speaker 71 This is exactly what they're saying they have to use, green lumber.

Speaker 103 And the Coke Industries does have one green lumber outfit,

Speaker 109 but

Speaker 15 that's not going to rebuild all of California.

Speaker 62 The fact that they're even talking about cap and trade as a way to solve the problem, cap and trade solves nothing.

Speaker 17 It just moves it, it gives it the excuse.

Speaker 55 Well, we've already traded for someplace else, and so we're good to go.

Speaker 115 It's beyond me. You don't even play the second half.

Speaker 3 Yeah, yeah, let's play the second half.

Speaker 207 You know, it's so terrible.

Speaker 6 You want to play the second half? Oh, okay.

Speaker 108 Well, allow me to introduce

Speaker 35 theft.

Speaker 110 Theft to the show.

Speaker 24 Blatant theft.

Speaker 222 Either that or you're sleeping with someone you shouldn't be sleeping with.

Speaker 300 He definitely delivered. Yeah.
And who were you or anyone else to question the inherent genius of every impulsive blurt of the 70-whatever-year-old God King who rules without restraint?

Speaker 116 Now,

Speaker 91 how did she come up with blurt?

Speaker 21 She didn't come up with it.

Speaker 55 She stole something. That was she didn't even steal anything.

Speaker 134 She doesn't do anything.

Speaker 95 Blattered Believe it, one of her producers, one of the writer producers,

Speaker 51 listens to us.

Speaker 200 Probably hate listens.

Speaker 96 And they said, you know, that's a pretty good term.

Speaker 55 Let's just start using it.

Speaker 4 Steal.

Speaker 12 We're a hate late steal.

Speaker 74 We're a hate listen for someone from the Rachel Maddowski.

Speaker 197 Well, seeing as that they had to fire everybody, who knows what's left there.

Speaker 55 So we get some international news. I think they're revoking immigration paroles is interesting.

Speaker 148 Yes, let's do that for a second.

Speaker 132 That is interesting.

Speaker 195 Hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Caribbean and Latin American countries who came to the United States legally may soon face deportation. Wow.

Speaker 195 Department of Homeland Security Secretary Christy Noam said the Trump administration will revoke legal protections for more than half a million Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and Venezuelans.

Speaker 195 The administration claims there's been broad abuse of humanitarian parole.

Speaker 195 That's the program that allows people from countries experiencing political instability to temporarily live and work in the United States.

Speaker 14 Empathy.

Speaker 76 Wow.

Speaker 11 Where did this come from?

Speaker 82 Empathy. That came from PBS.

Speaker 12 No,

Speaker 126 the thing is, it's called temporary protective status.

Speaker 76 Temporary.

Speaker 214 And they just, oh, that would, here's a report that actually kind of tells us what's actually happening.

Speaker 294 Late Friday, the Trump administration announced it was revoking the legal status of more than half a million immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela who came to the U.S.

Speaker 294 legally under a parole status. The Biden-era program, known as CHNV, allowed the immigrants to live in the U.S.
through sponsorships by U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

Speaker 301 In the next 30 days, their work permits and deportation protections will be lapsed and terminated by the Department of Homeland Security, which is warning that if these people do not voluntarily depart the country, John, they will be be found, arrested, and deported from the country.

Speaker 294 It comes as Friday.

Speaker 294 Federal Judge James Bolsberg rebuked the Trump administration for ignoring his order to turn planes around mid-flight, carrying Venezuelan migrants to a high-security detention facility in El Salvador.

Speaker 294 Bolsberg asked a Justice Department attorney, did you not understand? and accused the administration of disrespecting the court, ignoring orders, and missing his deadlines.

Speaker 294 The president has firmly stood by his decision and blasted the judge.

Speaker 294 The administration claims all the men who were deported are gang members, despite some having no criminal history and given no due process.

Speaker 294 The deportees are being held in one of the most notorious prisons in the world.

Speaker 92 This is a very interesting judicial move by the Trump administration.

Speaker 2 Well, where'd that clip come from?

Speaker 252 That came from.

Speaker 271 And the reason I ask is

Speaker 160 CBS.

Speaker 192 The reason I ask is because they don't know

Speaker 134 anything about these people that were shipped out of the country to the El Salvadorian prison.

Speaker 94 So how would they say that many of them have no criminal records?

Speaker 52 I've been looking.

Speaker 18 They've never revealed this.

Speaker 92 No, they revealed one.

Speaker 155 I don't think I clipped it.

Speaker 170 Did I clip it?

Speaker 107 There was one guy who apparently was a baseball player.

Speaker 2 That guy was the barber guy.

Speaker 139 No, well,

Speaker 108 they really don't have any examples.

Speaker 146 And what you would expect, certainly from CBS, but even from PBS, is you'd have crying family members like they rousted him.

Speaker 18 They deported him.

Speaker 92 But I don't see any evidence of that.

Speaker 100 But this is a very smart move by the Trump administration because you can just say, oh, I'm just revoking your TPS.

Speaker 58 and it doesn't mean he's going to go send people back to Haiti right away.

Speaker 92 He can, or the administration can, or depart Christy Noam.

Speaker 149 Oh, didn't she shoot her Doug?

Speaker 155 You've got to be careful of her.

Speaker 44 But this is a way for them to get around the judge's orders and say, well, it's TPS.

Speaker 81 So I can just revoke that and I have every legal right to send people back.

Speaker 92 I think it's a smart judicial move.

Speaker 48 And I don't think he's going to be sending people back to Haiti.

Speaker 48 I don't think he can even land a plane there anymore.

Speaker 74 It's not

Speaker 74 good.

Speaker 102 Well, then there's a Venezuela.

Speaker 106 I got the Venezuelan clip, which is kind of a follow-up to those oldest thoughts.

Speaker 302 Venezuela's government says beginning tomorrow, it will again accept flights of its citizens deported from the U.S.

Speaker 302 Repatriation flights had been halted by Venezuela's leader. The Trump administration had threatened to slap more sanctions on the country if the flights did not resume.
NPR's Kerry Khan reports.

Speaker 303 The president of Venezuela's National Assembly, Jorge Rodriguez, announced the resumption of flights in a statement on Instagram.

Speaker 303 Rodriguez, who has been negotiating with the U.S., stated, migration is not a crime, and Venezuela will not rest until it secures the return of all those who require it. A week ago, the U.S.

Speaker 303 sent more than 200 Venezuelan migrants to El Salvador, claiming most were members of a violent gang. President Maduro says the deportations are a kidnapping and demands the migrants' return.

Speaker 303 Maduro's capitulation on accepting repatriation flights come as Trump is considering extending the Chevron oil company's license to operate in Venezuela, which provides vital revenue for the country.

Speaker 108 Yeah, they're going to have to do that.

Speaker 12 We're running out of oil.

Speaker 25 Our gas-to-oil ratio in the United States is becoming more gas than oil.

Speaker 106 I have

Speaker 168 they're trying to shut down refineries.

Speaker 198 And I know out here they're trying to, Chevron's thinking about closing the Richmond refinery at some point in the future.

Speaker 85 And there's other refining issues that are problematic.

Speaker 137 We're not getting the crude that we want.

Speaker 96 We're not drilling more.

Speaker 36 I mean, it's at peak.

Speaker 198 As far as I can tell, they're drilling as much as they can.

Speaker 150 We're using a lot of oil.

Speaker 96 But this little Chevron gotcha at the end of this thing was kind of interesting to me.

Speaker 21 Maduro,

Speaker 96 what quid pro quo took place with, you know, letting Chevron go in there and make money for Venezuela because I would have to pay for the oil and I get it for free.

Speaker 58 I will get the details from the oil baron on what that's about.

Speaker 49 None of those guys like Chevron.

Speaker 47 They don't like any of them.

Speaker 92 Yes, it was indeed.

Speaker 147 Gerse Reyes Barrios had been renditioned to El Salvador.

Speaker 58 But no crying family yet.

Speaker 261 So no, they'll find somebody.

Speaker 21 We can hire an actor.

Speaker 38 I have an update on the Pope.

Speaker 294 Prior to being discharged, Pope Francis is said to appear in public today for the first time since his hospital stay for double pneumonia.

Speaker 294 The Vatican announced the Holy Father will bless the faithful from his 10th-floor suite at the hospital, his first live appearance since being admitted last month.

Speaker 304 The Holy Father, at the time of his admission to Gemeli Hospital, presented an acute respiratory failure.

Speaker 294 He is returning to his residence Santa Marta at the Vatican. Catholics around the world have rejoiced, from Rome to his native Argentina.

Speaker 294 Up until today, this picture of Francis celebrating Mass at a small chapel inside Gemele Hospital was the most recent image of the pontiff. And this recorded message.

Speaker 294 Thank you for prayers was the last time we'd heard from Pope Francis.

Speaker 294 This hospitalization was marked by a roller coaster of setbacks, including respiratory crises, mild kidney failure, and several coughing fits. The road to recovery will be a long one.

Speaker 294 The medical director at Jemile Hospital said during his stay, Francis twice presented critical episodes during which his life was in danger.

Speaker 256 The Holy Father was never intubated, and he always remained alert and oriented.

Speaker 294 Doctors say the Pope will need continued speech therapy after prolonged use of high-flow oxygen and will need at least two months of rest and rehabilitation after he returns to the Vatican.

Speaker 57 That doesn't sound very good.

Speaker 72 Two months of speech therapy.

Speaker 12 Yeah, that's kind of odd.

Speaker 27 That's bad.

Speaker 183 I have one clip before we go to break.

Speaker 92 Oh, can I request one?

Speaker 137 Which one?

Speaker 75 The Voice of America?

Speaker 36 Yeah, that's the clip I want to play.

Speaker 114 This is very interesting from the BBC World Service.

Speaker 50 Oh, wait a minute, everybody.

Speaker 152 It's the BBC World Service live from London.

Speaker 305 Radio Free Europe and Radio Liberty were founded during the Cold War before they later merged. The organisation has been funded by the US Congress to promote democratic values.

Speaker 305 It provides news to millions of users in 23 countries where a free press is either banned by authoritarian governments or weak.

Speaker 305 Prime Minister Fiela said he knew what Radio Free Europe meant, having listened when young during communist times.

Speaker 305 His government is looking to build a coalition of European nations to fund it or perhaps even buy it outright.

Speaker 12 You're going to buy it.

Speaker 14 Is it for sale?

Speaker 177 I didn't guess it would be. That's when Trump will sell it.

Speaker 264 That's fantastic.

Speaker 41 Come on, people.

Speaker 12 These people have the internet.

Speaker 124 They got smartphones everywhere.

Speaker 76 They don't need to listen to it.

Speaker 177 It would be a sucker's bet, that's for sure.

Speaker 86 Yeah, boy, it's up for sale.

Speaker 84 Sure.

Speaker 98 Here you go.

Speaker 74 Maybe you can make some of that.

Speaker 127 Give up some of that ham radio spectrum.

Speaker 149 Let them broadcast over there on 20 meters.

Speaker 41 Oh, man.

Speaker 14 Yeah.

Speaker 33 What do you think you could charge for it?

Speaker 74 Oh, you want to buy something?

Speaker 54 Of course, no, it's going to be overpriced, whatever it is.

Speaker 83 I'm going to show my support by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that.

Speaker 14 Oh, yeah, that'd be fabulous.

Speaker 22 Yeah.

Speaker 50 And we're going to wrap up this episode with a couple of goodies for you.

Speaker 108 Remember, we do have John's tip of the day on the way.

Speaker 48 We have some end-of-show mixes for you.

Speaker 25 A very entertaining, well-produced meet-up report.

Speaker 67 It's very low.

Speaker 152 You know what?

Speaker 108 We are the only true recession indicator in the business.

Speaker 78 Welcome,

Speaker 63 Sir

Speaker 160 Tim from Squim, Sir Harry Seward, and Sir John to the roundtable of the Noah Genda Knights and Dames.

Speaker 222 There was a rather large meetup that took place in Round Rock, Texas.

Speaker 155 I think it was subtitled the Get Out of the Hill Country Meetup.

Speaker 25 Unfortunately, I was not able to attend.

Speaker 110 Tina and I had a previous engagement, and it's also about a two-hour drive from where we are.

Speaker 145 But a lot of people made it, and they sent in a very nice meetup report from Round Rock.

Speaker 290 In the morning, this is sir, recalcitrant Crazy Steve II here at the Round Rock Roundup. Just want to let JCD know that please keep those fake ISOs up.

Speaker 290 I enjoy them and I'll see you at your birthday party in two weeks.

Speaker 238 This is Sir Doug here.

Speaker 105 I'm here with Sir Brian and I.

Speaker 12 We're here.

Speaker 195 We're contemplating our next end of show mix and I just want to say donate your two new agenda

Speaker 105 and do the code devorock.org.

Speaker 19 Smash the like.

Speaker 46 For every four orders of curry fries, you get one free flag.

Speaker 283 This is Danny. First time at a meetup.
Cool bunch of dudes. We're looking forward to the triple vinyl box set whenever that comes out.
This is Greg.

Speaker 283 I'm a douchebag, but I'll make sure this sounds good.

Speaker 93 Come on to RS664. We have some great curry fries here.

Speaker 12 This is Dirty Jersey Whore. Spoiler alert, I'm not from Jersey and I'm not a female.

Speaker 41 In the morning.

Speaker 230 Hey guys, it's Mike from the Alter Swamp Meetup, trying to get away from the spooks here in Texas.

Speaker 238 What's up, everybody? It is Sir Brian with an ISO you know it is a party and uh dirty jersey whores touching me.

Speaker 22 In the morning,

Speaker 212 And once again, they forgot to add the server.

Speaker 69 Add your servers to these meetup reports, people.

Speaker 148 Servers like it, and servers are good.

Speaker 166 Tip your server and tip them well.

Speaker 70 We have a meetup taking place today, underway as we speak, the Dem Ides of March Indy No Agenda meetup.

Speaker 102 They always do it on a show day during the show itself, which is always...

Speaker 166 entertaining to me.

Speaker 50 So you can still catch them because they'll be going on until well after dinner.

Speaker 42 St.

Speaker 108 Joseph Brewery and Public House in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Speaker 70 That is Dame Maria Sir Mark, who hosts those, and I'm sure we'll get an excellent meetup report from them.

Speaker 108 And also, coming up in just an hour or so, the North Georgia Monthly Meetup at Cherry Street Brewing in Alpharetta, Georgia.

Speaker 206 Is this the fourth anniversary? I think so.

Speaker 71 Many more meetups to come.

Speaker 204 Coming up the 29th, Safenham, the Netherlands.

Speaker 153 Let me see if we have any other foreign places.

Speaker 140 Eagle, Idaho. Might as well be foreign.

Speaker 172 Leiden, the Netherlands, coming up on April 17th.

Speaker 222 Yes, the Lowlands meetup people are doing a great job, and you can join them.

Speaker 41 You can join many of the meetups that take place all over Gitmo Nation by going to noagendameetups.com.

Speaker 193 You can search by calendar, you can search by place,

Speaker 111 and of course, you can add one yourself.

Speaker 102 Because if you can't find one near you, I suggest you start one yourself.

Speaker 235 It's easy and always a party. Sometimes you want to go hang out with all the nights and days.

Speaker 235 You to be where you won't be triggered or hell

Speaker 235 You to be where everybody feels the same.

Speaker 235 It's like a party.

Speaker 214 Always like a party.

Speaker 23 And now it's time for the phony baloney

Speaker 108 ISOs. The John, the cheater,

Speaker 50 John C.

Speaker 213 Dvorak with the C stands for I cheat,

Speaker 108 has created some AI ISOs.

Speaker 222 I, of course, continue to find the real deal, and I think I might have a shot at beating you today.

Speaker 168 Well, you might because I don't have one AI ISO, despite your condemnation.

Speaker 71 Well, that remains to be seen.

Speaker 97 I want to hear you all real.

Speaker 96 This is the reason I don't do these anymore because they're hard.

Speaker 39 This is because it's not hard.

Speaker 180 It's not hard.

Speaker 114 You just clip something you already clipped.

Speaker 36 It's no big deal. Let's listen to mine.

Speaker 221 Okay.

Speaker 267 I got is what?

Speaker 290 It is what it is.

Speaker 183 Joining.

Speaker 187 Thank you so much for joining us.

Speaker 82 And thank you.

Speaker 231 Thank you.

Speaker 119 Well,

Speaker 119 I think,

Speaker 53 I think I can do better with real ISOs.

Speaker 107 Here we go.

Speaker 226 These guys are good at what they do.

Speaker 18 I think that already beats you.

Speaker 113 Yeah, I think that's a good one.

Speaker 237 You should be outraged.

Speaker 12 I kind of like that.

Speaker 90 That's no good.

Speaker 15 But I think this is the winner.

Speaker 128 This podcast is for the birds.

Speaker 226 No. No.
No. These guys are good at what they do.

Speaker 74 I think that's the one.

Speaker 68 That's the one. That's the one.
All right.

Speaker 98 Well, we have backass word.

Speaker 53 Backass word?

Speaker 136 Yeah.

Speaker 161 You mean

Speaker 10 I did a good job.

Speaker 44 You could just say, good job.

Speaker 12 Well,

Speaker 36 for someone who did it back ass word.

Speaker 15 Oh, yeah. All right, everybody.

Speaker 13 Hey, it's time that everyone's been waiting for.

Speaker 270 It's John's tip of the day.

Speaker 22 Green master, you and me. Just the tip with JCD

Speaker 68 and sometimes

Speaker 200 Okay, so this is a product that comes out.

Speaker 115 I believe this is made in China because it says that on the on the package.

Speaker 179 And everyone I've seen, there's a bunch of these designed in the USA, made in China, and they're all exactly the same.

Speaker 66 You can go look them up, but I recommend people buy one of these.

Speaker 168 The brands are different.

Speaker 250 This is a brand called Prepared Hero.

Speaker 198 It could be any other brand.

Speaker 52 They all look identical.

Speaker 36 They have the same functionality.

Speaker 64 And these are fire blankets.

Speaker 78 Fire blankets.

Speaker 114 40-inch by 40-inch fire blankets.

Speaker 94 They're all made in China.

Speaker 247 They're made out of fiberglass.

Speaker 62 And you should have one in the kitchen hanging somewhere.

Speaker 168 And you just, they're all the same. You can look them up.

Speaker 247 They have two black tabs hanging out of a red package.

Speaker 2 You pull the black tags.

Speaker 189 That's why it should be hanging up.

Speaker 36 You pull the black tags out, brings out the fire blanket.

Speaker 141 You throw it on the stove, puts out the fire immediately

Speaker 36 without using uh a fire extinguisher which makes a mess yes

Speaker 74 that is a good tip i once had a when i was back at the um

Speaker 151 uh at the apartment when i was uh single also known as the penitentiary i had a kitchen fire and uh i wound up uh extinguishing it with flour

Speaker 60 And while that was good, I then tried to vacuum up the flour and that ruined my Dyson vacuum cleaner, and it was a mess.

Speaker 124 You could find flour for months.

Speaker 78 Yes, fire blanket.

Speaker 60 And how big are they?

Speaker 114 These fire blankets.

Speaker 55 40-inch by 40-inch, they're just enough to cover the stove.

Speaker 15 Wow. That's a good thing.

Speaker 66 So you get a grease fire, you throw the fire blanket on top, puts the fire out almost immediately.

Speaker 14 I think that's very good.

Speaker 210 Doesn't make a mess.

Speaker 149 Can you also use it for your Tesla if your Tesla catches on?

Speaker 89 You could. Well, it wouldn't help, but you could.

Speaker 12 All right.

Speaker 17 There you go.

Speaker 149 Tipoftheday.net, noagendafun.com for John C.

Speaker 15 Dvorak's tip of the day.

Speaker 22 Green fast for you and me. Just the tip with JCD.

Speaker 22 And sometimes Adam.

Speaker 151 Created by Dana Bernetti.

Speaker 88 Now I'm going to get me a couple of those fire blankets.

Speaker 76 That is a very useful idea.

Speaker 115 In some cases, they sell them by two.

Speaker 261 Sometimes you get a five-pack.

Speaker 182 I have just the one.

Speaker 106 I've never had a kitchen fire.

Speaker 35 Five-pack?

Speaker 49 Well, I've only had the one kitchen fire, but that's a great idea.

Speaker 174 That is a very useful tip of the day.

Speaker 89 Aren't you glad you stayed to listen to John?

Speaker 168 And they're cheap.

Speaker 249 They're like nine or ten bucks.

Speaker 69 From China, what could go wrong?

Speaker 18 Hey, coming up at the end of the show here, we have some end-of-show mixes.

Speaker 15 We have the existential crisis from Maddie J, which, believe it or not, is a repeat, but it's just as good six years later.

Speaker 89 We have,

Speaker 124 oh yes, the coveted arousal mix that Fletcher put together.

Speaker 222 And brand new from Sir Michael Anthony, the Trump anti-war in 24 you do not want to miss those also stay tuned for the next program on your no agenda stream or in your modern podcast app it's unrelenting that is the podcast with Darren O'Neal and Gene Neftuliev our Russian spy

Speaker 140 And I am coming to you from the heart of the Texas hill country right here in Fredericksburg where we get middle-aged ladies schloshed to buy expensive schlocky clothing.

Speaker 208 In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry.

Speaker 168 And from Northern Silicon Valley, where I remain, I'm John C.

Speaker 96 Dvorak.

Speaker 194 Remember us at NoAgendadonations.com.

Speaker 173 Until Thursday, adios, mofos, a hooey hooey, and such.

Speaker 131 Eggs, eggs, eggs.

Speaker 309 I, uh, give them the old needle once in a while.

Speaker 79 I love eggs.

Speaker 297 Egg prices are continuing.

Speaker 117 The sore of the cost of eggs has been soaring across the country.

Speaker 104 High cost of eggs.

Speaker 39 So what's behind egg flation?

Speaker 276 Pathogenic avian influenza, more commonly known as bird flu.

Speaker 187 The worst bird flu outbreak in years has just swept through the country.

Speaker 245 Tens of millions of birds have died or been slaughtered.

Speaker 234 Bird flu have reduced the egg-laying hen population by more than 40 million.

Speaker 187 40 million, that's astounding to think about.

Speaker 234 That looks like eggs are the new toilet paper.

Speaker 239 It's extremely bad news.

Speaker 234 You might want to consider alternatives.

Speaker 283 This is an egg replacement item.

Speaker 310 These chickens that were laying eggs, those are mature hens, right? So we don't get a mature hen overnight.

Speaker 310 It takes some time for a chick who hatches out of an egg to be ready, could be lasting us into the summer.

Speaker 6 Can I offer you a nice egg in this trying time?

Speaker 16 Once it was reluctantly aroused, it was hard to get it aroused. And it is hard to get it aroused, but we got it aroused.

Speaker 311 We got it arrested.

Speaker 69 And Iowa, and everywhere else around the country, is doing this.

Speaker 16 It was hard to get it aroused.

Speaker 79 Just keep it up.

Speaker 16 And it is hard to get it arrested.

Speaker 79 You know, I mean, hey, come on.

Speaker 311 We got it aroused. Ooh.

Speaker 14 You know, it's going to be even bigger now.

Speaker 22 Ooh, look how long it is.

Speaker 16 It was hard to get it aroused.

Speaker 22 Ooh, I'll give you the gist of it.

Speaker 288 Quick, get some white stuff, somebody.

Speaker 22 Help me out here. Ooh, all trash, baby.

Speaker 79 I'm getting too excited about this.

Speaker 14 Sit, stay, and come.

Speaker 311 We got it aroused. Ooh, the guy is jeezing all over himself.
They're not gonna come because they wouldn't even think who wouldn't even think this.

Speaker 311 And everyone's like, alright, cool, kinky, yeah, right.

Speaker 16 It was hard to get it aroused, and it is hard to get it aroused. Ooh.

Speaker 22 Totally misquoted in the media. Totally misquoted.

Speaker 14 They were asked to change it, and they wouldn't do that.

Speaker 22 Hold on, stop a second.

Speaker 22 This is a crisis.

Speaker 142 This is all amateur hour. This is all stuff done in the control room or done by somebody who's not a good guy and done on purpose.
How stupid have we been?

Speaker 142 And of course, people got all kinds of fun clips.

Speaker 256 How stupid have we been?

Speaker 228 People making songs from that.

Speaker 16 I don't want to see wars.

Speaker 307 I think it's so horrible, so unnecessary, and so costly in terms of lives and money and that order.

Speaker 308 I think it's just a failed mentality. It's crazy.

Speaker 308 You can sell problems over a telephone and said they start dropping bombs.

Speaker 307 I see recently they're dropping bombs all over Yemen.

Speaker 14 You don't have to do that.

Speaker 307 You can talk in such a way where they respect you and they listen to you. And you know, the number of lives we're talking about is far greater than the numbers that you hear.

Speaker 307 When they blow up a town, when they blow up these buildings, I mean, these are big, powerful buildings. They come tumbling down to the ground and they say nobody was injured.

Speaker 173 A lot of people were killed.

Speaker 308 And the numbers are a lot different than you think. You will see that.
You will see that happening.

Speaker 307 When those numbers really get announced, you're going to see it much worse.

Speaker 16 The whole world is on fire.
