Gardening Tips and Show Conclusion

She's all jacked up about the action ho. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. It's Sunday, May 17th, 2026. This is your award-winning Kip by Nation Media Assassination, Episode 1869. This is no agenda. And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Refinery Row, where everybody's happy that Bill Cassidy's finally out. I'm John C. D. Borax. It's Craig Bottom Buzzkill in the morning. Hey man, the gloves are coming off . Gloves are coming off . Mm-hmm. I don't care how how you know if they cut your th your chest open, the gloves are off. I cannot believe that for eighteen years, one thing has been my segment. One thing . Oh no. You need to come in with a series of four clips about Euro vis ion. Yeah, after you poached and poached and poached, I got sick of it. What did I poach? You know everything. Well we do this every single year. We're always very And we nailed it again . We did . I think we forgot to nail it. But okay, I I will yes, because we probably would have corrected uh the predicted incorrectly. But I will relent , I will allow you graciously to roll out whatever you think is important about this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Well, it's funny you should ask. Now first of all, this is the seventyeth anniversary.. Big deal I mean seventy five would have been better, but yeah, yeah, yep. Seventy is a big deal. Seventy five is better, a hundred's even better. But seventy, you know, you know it's since since you're doing the segment, first of all, did we have any transsexuals this year in the uh in the contest? Oh that was uh they were all transsexuals. Yeah. So let's say that this is a PBS report or I'm sorry, NPR report. So I thought it was good kind of entertaining 'cause they actually in an offhanded way predicted the winner, uh even though it was the long shot uh in the way it was presented. But let's listen to and the guys very they're very enthusiastic. Let's go with Eurovision 70 years as clip number one. Okay, Vienna , let the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest beg in. 70 years old, still as glamorous as ever. The final Eurovision Song Contest is in full swing in Vienna. You heard uh three of the early entries, uh Denmark, Germany, and Israel. It's said to be the non-sporting event with the biggest global audience. So if you're not listening to news Is this NPR ? Yeah. With a British guy? Yeah. You're doing both at the same time. Uh let's speak now to someone who is going to do that? William Lee Adams, BBC journalist, founder of Wee WeeBlogs, which is the world's most followed independent Wee blog channel. We 're going what kind of blog? We blogs. We Wee Blogs, okay. Hi, William. Hey, good evening, James. Good to have you on the programme. What nearly two hours since it all started. Uh what are the highlights so far? Oh wait a minute. Yes, thank you. I I knew it couldn't be uh NPR. I just thought it was so lame it had to be NPR, but now that I think about it, you're right. Yeah. Okay, onwards. Whenever you bring in bringing the the guy who writes the Wee Wee blog. Yeah, the Wee Wee blog is I think even beneath NPR. Very bouncy and very buoyant, and a lot of that is down to Australia. Delta Goodrum. She is going for gold and wearing gold. Yes, yes, yes, I'm stopping. Oh my god, we're never gonna get through this. Australia. They're in Europe? Oh, we go through this every year. You might as well add uh Israel and say Israel. Israel. They're not in this are they? Yes, but is the Euro the Eurovis ion. Yeah, Euro standing for Europe. No, that could that just means Eurovision. Like you can see Europe, you have a vision of Europe. It doesn't mean that you have to be Well how oh then well how did the United States do in this competition? We don't look we have the voice. We invented all of these these things. Okay, well they drop the United States. We'll drop ourselves. How about South America? How did Brazil do? Every year we go through this. What? Every year. They c they could pr everyone can participate if they want. They just have to join the European Broadcasting Union, which costs money . Oh, there it is. You know, it's like then then your country wins. And then it's all hosted in your country and there's a lot of money involved. Sponsors, all Seven thousand Swarovski crystals. She sort of looks like liquid champagne walk walking down the stage. Now I I will say this is the commentary that I uh expect from Eurovision . Seven thousand Swarovski crystals, she looks like champagne coming down the steps is wonderful. Now her song is called Eclipse. This is about alignment s and we c and we can take uh some notes here because this is how the podcast award should run that you were going to organize, that we were going to be the uh the uh the still in play and you don't need the connection that two people have that's really special and can lead to sort of romantic entanglement. Now, she herself is a cancer survivor. She's raised more than $120 million for cancer research. And so this song is about timing, you know, and she told me when I sing, I'm singing for all the struggles I've had, all the struggles I've endured and survived. And it's just beautiful. She rises into the air on an elevator borrowed from Beyonce, the American pop star. Oh no. So she's in the air in gold, the sun behind her. She looks like orange renaiss Well you've painted the picture on the radio which is uh what Yes, that was pure theatre of the mind. Thank you, We Wee Blog. We'd like you to have done, which is wonderful. But tell us about the other favourites. I mean she's one of them. Finland, Greece, although I think you had a kind of Bulgaria have come in at the last minute for you, have they? Oh absolutely. The the contest really is a two horse race between Australia and Finland. Oh, how wrong he was . Well, you did mention Bulgaria. We should have sent Spencer Pratt to the Eurovision . He would have he would have swept it. He would have. Alright, now we go to the UG clip. I put Ug because this is a real groaner, this clip. But Bulgaria is lurking on the outside. Now Bulgari the Bulgarian singer Dara, she used to suffer from a compulsion where she couldn't leave her house unless her makeup was perfect. And I don't say this in a joking way, it was clinical. If her eyebrows weren't painted on perfectly, she would experience so much anxietyy, she would just sta home. There is a traditional um ceremony in Bulgaria, Kurkurai, I believe, and they expel evil spirits. So on stage, she has people with bad makeup, sitting in chairs, there's plastic on their face, and they perform a dance to drive out the anxiety, to drive out the evil. But she does this within a box that looks like an office. You're not aware of the audience, even though there are tens of thousands of people out there. It's creating a music video universe on a stage. It is remarkable. And then just to close up off the circle about the favorites, Finland. My goodness. If Australia is about emotional connection with the singer and the And she's deliberately icy. She doesn't look at anyone. She's avoiding Pete. She says that she is like a flamethrower, Lika Hayten in Finnish, because you know she'd warm up and people would be drawn to her, but then she would just get cold as ice and walk away. And so their dynamic, his fire, her ice, it creates smoke. Why are you torturing us with this? I've never done this. Can I get some of President Trump's bleach to drink, please? Well I think it's about time we got to the nitty gritty of this piece of shit. Okay. And she's the one who won. Yeah. Yes. Because of bad makeup. I mean this whole thing is is ludicrous. And every year we talk about it, we do normally predict with some accuracy. Well we were we were we were excised from uh the prediction by the cosmic forces because it was impossible for us to predict. That's my thinking. All right. And that's in line with the kind of stupidity that we're listening to now. So let's go on with clip three. Well, you talked about anxiety earlier. There was a bit of anxiety, quite a lot of anxiety, I guess, around Israel's participation, five countries boycotting it. How did their entry perform? How did it all go down? Indeed, Israel's participation remains a major flashpoint for fans, for performers , and for delegations from rival broadcasters. In the past two editions of Eurovision we heard a lot of booing what does that even mean? If I'm if I'm not correct if I'm not mistaken, the Euro , then I'll be correct, because that's rule one, I'm always correct. I believe that these broadcasters are all public broadcasters. I think that's part of the hook. And that's why you've got Israel has public broadcasting, Australia has public broadcasting, Canada, are they in this thing? Wouldn't surprise me. They've all got public broadcasting. And I think you have to be a public broadcaster. So this is kind of this is their Super Bowl where they all get to you know get drunk and uh and hang out and party because it's kind of their party. I think that's what's behind all this. But so well how's that make them competitive? And jeering in the audience. But this year we didn't have the same amount of booing, if any. Certainly in the final, I didn't hear any this evening. A lot of that comes down to the subject matter. The song that the Israeli act Noam Beton is singing is Michelle. Michelle is a woman, and they had a toxic relationship, and you can't really read that politically. Whereas in the past years, people imbued meaning into the songs. For instance, in 2024, the original title of Israel's entry was October Rain. Many people interpreted that to be a story about the October seventh attacks. Um and the following year at their singer, she actually survived the October seventh attacks. She herself hid under dead bodies. Now that that's not a political statement. But people imbued it with meaning suggesting oh Israel chose an act because they wanted to court sympathy on the international stage. But again, we need to remember art is one of the times of the zeitgeist, you know, what is personal, what is political. These subjects are often very gray. Unbelievable. Yes, it's unbelievable. You could have done one clip of this guy. I'm sorry that I'm belaboring it because this I hope this is the last time we ever talked about it. No, I mean I here's I was gonna do one clip and then play the play snippets of the two songs the one and two. That's all I was gonna do. That's what we do with the song. Well you got you got usurped. Indeed . I don't know if it's a good thing for the show. I I I think it's hurting the show. Indeed. And probably the the voting. Because that for for a lot of people that that's always been one of the highlights, not just the singing, but the voting. And it's changed this year to give a a better balance between the music Yeah, you're right. There were two big changes. One change is that the professional juries in each country uh they've been increased. So last year there were five jurors. This year there are seven jurors and they have to include more people under thirty or twenty-five, um basically making them younger and more diverse. Uh the other big change is that rather than voting twenty times per person, which was allowed in previous years, you can only vote ten times. Now, this is off the back of the revelation following last year's Eurovision that an Israeli government agency was involved in buying ads across YouTube and other social media platforms calling on Now the reason multiple uh voters can vote multiple times is because by the way. I pulled this stunt at a uh at a chili call Wait, you bought you bought votes? Well we had a couple of of of uh chorus girls at the booth and uh talking everyone into turning all their votes into our our uh jar. So they would sweet talk these guys and you how many votes you got? Yeah we got ten votes we can vo just give us all ten votes. Oh it would be so nice. And so we those m that music comes from friends or from foes. But it seems to have backfired um in the last edition where you had advertisements saying, No, don't spread the love. Give it all to us. Um so this year that's been reduced to ten. We'll have to wait and see if that has any sort of impact on the results. We're almost at the the end, I think twenty first group at the moment, uh five ladies from Cyprus performing. Um any sort of surprises, any artists that uh you you uh that stood out for you that aren't among the favourites groups. No, no, no. They'll be performing next to last in twenty four. The song is called Choke Me, which is very provocative, and a lot of people were offended. There was a petition to have it removed. But the singer has explained through her staging, she is saying choke me to a phantom. sh Oh choke me. Choke me. How come choke me didn't win? Uh let's just listen very quickly to uh the Israeli uh entry. Michelle, we'll just listen to a little bit here, we'll jump around. I'm doing this so that Spotify will take this episode uh off of their uh podcast uh features. Okay, that's rejected. And here is the winner. Bangaranga . Let's see if we can if I would have voted for this. No, I can see a drop. Yeah. Alright, let's see how we 'll bangaranga. Here we go. Oh, I see. Little bit of little bit of uh Bollywoods in there. Yeah. I get it. Kids like that. It's great. All right. Fifteen minutes of the show. Very good. Very good. Well yeah. Very, very good. Okay, well that's the end of that. It is . Let me uh let me let's go into some Trump hate . Ooh. Yeah. We haven't done some proper Trump hate recently. That's true. We have I I since I stopped getting the TikTok clips. Well this is um semi mainstream media uh Trump hate . Uh and it started with um let me see. With uh the chattering class, as we call it. The chattering class. Listen to uh how Megan Kelly introduces her guest. All right. We're gonna bring in our very first guest, very ver first guest ever here on the MK show. That's the pod father of our show, Glenn Greenwald. I speak of. He's a political prize winning journalist and host of System Update on Substack. Help me understand this. I mean it's one thing never to ask me back on the show. I mean it's pretty Well you were you were you were you I thought you were an ungrateful guest. So she has uh Glenn Greenwald on the show. He well he's her pod father. I used to be her podfat I'm no I can be the pod father, but I'm not her podfather . Okay. And uh and so Megan Kelly captured by her audience, Glenn Greenwald, he's he never got uncaptured. I think he's he's always been kind of the same self hating Jew. Uh they uh Oh no, she had Tucker on. She got Glenn Green Rawldon Ruff uh on. It's fantastic. There was an admission on the Iran War which jumped out at me and it might to you too. Here it is in SOT seven. By the way, so that show here it is in slot seven and then you get a three second pause. Please appreciate your no agenda show when you hear these things. You know, this is this is not pro. Me and it might to you too. Here it is in Sot seven . One doing it to help Israel and to help Saudi Arabia and to help uh Qatar and UAE and uh you know, Kuwait and other countries. Bahrain. It also helps China. Uh we're actually I told them today, I said, you know, we're helping you, and we're helping you in another way because I don't think they want I don't think China wants Iran to have a nuclear weapon either. I said , this don't call crazy. You don't need them having a nuclear weapon either. What did he say? What did he say? Well he's not gonna respond too much. He's a pretty cool guy. He's not gonna say, Oh gee, that's a good point. I think he what's he gonna do? So there it is. I mean lest there was any doubt, it's the first thing in the answer. We did it to help Israel. That we're doing it to help Israel. We know. We know that. We've said that many times. And then you get called an anti Semite. But that's not anti Semitic. It is a fact. You heard it from the President of the United States himself. He thinks it's also helping some of the Gulf Arab states. Fine. That that's not controversial. You can say that. But prior to the president saying it himself explicitly, you weren't allowed to say that other piece of it or you were called an anti Semite. Why she's so uh what she's so uptight about this. You're a podcaster. You can say whatever you want to say. Why do you care ? I think it's weird. Here comes Greenwald. This was a movement that was calling itself America first . And then you have Trump saying, Oh yeah, this war, well, it's kinda helping us. We don't want the nuclear weapon. But you know, yeah, we're helping Israel get rid of their big enemy. I think he editorialized that a little bit . These people are insane about this stuff. And so the way they take the president's statement is oh, it's about Israel . Oh yeah, yeah, just helping Israel get rid of their big enemy. Of course Trump mentioned a whole bunch of other countries, but Glenn Greenwald has an answer for that too. And also when we talk about these Persian Gulf states, what we mean are Persian Gulf dictatorships, Arab dictatorships that have extreme levels of human rights abuses that we claim to be so offended when they appear in Iran. You think protesters fare any better in Dubai or in Riyadh or in uh Doha or There's no one protesting in Dubai . They're I think they're all pretty happy with things in Dubai. Riyadh are are they protesting should should they be protesting by missing something ? I don't know. Maybe they should. In any in Bahrain or Kuwait? No, they or then Iran? No, they don't. And this idea, you know, we're and also the street of Hormu,z Trump him self said at the beginning out of frustration, look, if you're not willing to go to a war with Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz, we don't have to do it. We don't need the Strait of Hormuz, which is true. We don't get oil from the Strait of Hormuz. China does and the Gulf states need the Strait of Hormuz to sell oil. But th it Trump is in bed with these Persian Gulf dictators. He loves them too. They're extremely rich. They have a kind of shared aesthetic with this very ostentatious gold blade I mean if you go look at that BBC video of me in two thousand four, I had the same thing. Um but yet I never felt like a Middle East dictator was my style. This gold laden kind of you know uh wealth expression. He loves them. His f his family's in bed with the with with the Persian Gulf State. In bed. And he's very close to them. He listens to them. And I don't think these are good things for our country. Why are we why are we prosecuting a war that's harming Americans for the benefit of Israel or these Persian Gulf dictators. And on the question of China, yeah, I mean opening up the Strait of Hormuz is far more in China's interest than ours. The problem is is that the only reason the Strait of Hormuz is closed is because Israel is because the United States attack joined Israel and attacking Iran. It was perfectly open, the Strait of Hormuz was prior to this war for forever. Perfectly, forever closed now because it was a response to the attack on Iran. And I think the rest of the they are now so much like the mainstream media. Yeah, they just they don't really look at anything further than the surface. I think they're watching MS Now and CNN and Fox probably to to get their uh their their talking points almost. I mean this this whole trip to China as you I mean, it was ridiculous. It made no sense. Everything was wrong. It's stupid. Trump came back with nothing. Let's go to MS now. When Donald Trump was running for our favorite Jem Psalcki for president, you may remember this. He had a question he loved to ask. A particular thought experiment about a tete tete between Vice President Harris and President Xi. And it went like this . Kamala Harris is so incompetent. Can you imagine her dealing with President Xi of China? Can you imagine her dealing with President Xi? Can you imagine with President Xi? Can you imagine her negotiating with President Xi of China? Can you imagine her standing with President Xi of China? By the way, nice supercut. I don't think so. Can you imagine? He said that so many times. I mean, Trump spent that campaign railing about China's influence in the world, and he repeatedly insisted that he alone was the only candidate tough enough to go toe-to-toe with presidency of China. Well Trump just finished his first state visit to China in his second term and how did it go? Did big bad Donald Trump stand up to the Chinese I mean th this is exactly the same as Meghan and Glenn. There's no analysis. They're just doing hot takes like punchlines. Yeah, it's a good point. Yeah, and so let's exact right word for it. Ambassador McFall, let me start with you. Ambassador McFall, here we go. This guy's good. We talked about this late last night when it was the trip was still a bit ongoing. But as you looked, it's now over. What did Trump and and really the United States get out of this trip? Well what do you think, John? What do you think they got out of this trip? Anything Anyt, Mrs. hing ? Um I think they got something out of it. I think the Boeing uh impossible sales of Boeing jets would was a big deal, especially if it's gonna be two hundred of 'em or more. Yeah. Well that was about it, it seems to me. No. And they got to meet and you and then Trump got to show off to all these uh our own business guys that he knows this guy she and they can introduce him to him. Hey, you can meet the guy here or here you meet him and shake his hand and we're all good to go. Well, I think that's uh that's a big deal. There's actually more. Um but yeah, there was that. There was some soybeans, always some soybeans. Oh, there's always . But let's hear what Ambassador McFall thinks. Jen, you just summarized it brilliantly. That was a fantastic laydown and I'm so glad you reminded everybody about what he said he was going to do with China. Remember when he first ran for president, it was all about China. China's eating our lunch, China's taking our jobs, they're sc they're doing all these horrible things to us. And he used in that phrase that clip you just said you showed communist China, right? You never heard him use the word communist once on this trip. Uh and I just think this flip is remarkable, and I hope his voters notice it. I hope Republicans noticed it because for decades the Republican Party was always saying Democrats are weak on China, we're gonna be tough. And now he is completely flipped. What you could not do a bigger flip. So again . You're always bitching and moaning that he's not nice and he has no dec orum and he goes over there and he becomes nice and now they're complaining about that. All they do is complain. It gets better. I think an acronym you could use to summarize not just this meeting, but everything leading up to it, is make China great again. Uh when you look at the impact of the Trump president. And what's really extraordinary about it, Allie, is President Trump was elected beginning in twenty sixteen in large part because he was really one of the first US leaders who recognized the way that China's entry to the W TO was contributing to the hollowing out of the US middle class. Wow, the very same people who told him that told him that he was racist and he was gonna kill people by withdrawing from all of these organizations. All they do is counter programming all the time. One of his promises to American Rust Belt workers was he was gonna fix it. But instead what we see he's doing is bullying reporters, beingat up on America's closest friends and allies. Oh no. And frankly, seeming cowed by China. Again. No. Well let's go let's go to the uh the liberal intellectual elites, an acronym. We'll go to the liberal int uh uh intellectual elites, who everybody listens to because their pod is by far one of the most important and and smart smart tech pods. It also I mean it's a a reminder of the stark contrast in the first Trump term. I'm sorry, this isn't the pod, but it's one of the hosts of the pod. And how the business can be treated. You see that's how it works. I mean so many people were critical of that inauguration seating chart. Sort of. But this is kind of evidence of probably a big driving factor for that. So they could go on trips like this. Well , as I said, it's a coin operated presidency and they figured out very quickly that you put money in and you get Coin oper ated Presidency. She's going to explain it. That's cute. She's going to explain it. Yeah, yeah, everyone's all the kids are talking about it. You know, million dollars because they get so much more, but they get billions and billions out of it. And so they've sort of figured out it's a cheap way to get what you want. And that's what they're doing. And they will they will continue to do that because shareholders, as I've said over and over again are their biggest uh goal. And that m that's fine, I suppose. Shareholders, they're doing but it's pretty explicit. Now she's she's just waffling. She's you know, without Galloway, she's no good. She really isn't. Then she's just she is the was this just she is uh she's t she's she's gone and she's uh like a single now. She's you know, she's like one of the people that were in the Rolling Stones decided to become a single act. Yeah. And so she's Char when Charlie Watson is uh And so this this dog of this I wanna live forever thing, which is overproducing, cost a lot of money, is gonna is gonna cost CNN you she's gonna disappear from the scene after that thing, after they cost analyze that sucker. So we'll see what happens. All right. So now here they are together on the pod. He brought seventeen CEOs with him and three diplomats. Flying billionaires on a plane to China to get shit seems Oh by the way, she has a really foul mouth in this one. Problematic Hi everyone, this is Pivot from New York Magazine and the Vox Media Podcast Network. I'm Kara Swisher. And I'm Scott Galloway. Oh, could you can we start the show like that? I'm Adam Curry, and you go, and I'm John C. Dvor ak. I think we should start. Yeah, okay. Uh everybody's doing the bangaranga and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning, everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And I'm John C. Dvorak. Perfect. Excellent. Excellent. I'm Kara Swisher. And I'm Scott Galloway. President Trump and uh Chinese President Xi uh have met for a little over two hours right now at and attended a state banquet to start off their two day summit in China. In Xi's opening toast at the banquet, Xi said achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and making America great again can go hand in hand. Snickering at Trump behind his back, though. The White House said both sides agreed that the Strait of Hermuz must remain open. She warned that Trump that Mr. President Trump, however, does not appear to be overly concerned. Let's listen to how he answered a reporter's question as he left the White House for his China trip. What extent are American financial situations motivating you to make it deal ? Not even a little bit. It the only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That's all. That's the only thing that motivated us. Oh wow. That was that was some quote. That was like an ad. Like they just he cut an ad for them. It was that was astonishing, I have to say. I mean it's what I it's what I think he thinks. And this nuclear weapon thing, we're less safe now than we were doing the Obama days when we had most of the enriched uranium and a deal and the Strait of Hermuz So any thoughts about what he's doing here? Why? Or he's just just an old battled man who just says whatever's on his mind? So this was indeed the ad, and all of the M five M jumped on this. Oh, he doesn't care . In fact, there's always one guy in the troll room who always who basically should be on the pivot pod. Yeah, screw Americans, right? You don't care, but you don't They all did this. They all jumped up. He doesn't care about your money. He only cares about nuclear war. President Trump is back at the White House and back to the reality in the United States of gas prices, which are now averaging four dollars and fifty three cents a gallon nationally. If you thought that after a couple of days away during his trip to China, and when asked exactly what he meant when he answered that question, that he was going to rephrase or clarify what he said about Americans' financial situations when it comes to the impact from the Iran War, you would be wrong. That sounds like MS now. The CNN. Oh that's CNN? That's uh Caitlin Collins. Okay. It seems to me Who have been fighting against fossil fuels forever and would love a ten dollar a gallon gas price to keep people from using gasoline should be happy about this. How come they're bitching about it? Because this is all about the midterms. That's all that it is. Everything everything in the world is about the midterms. The context and the question itself was pretty clear, but also in the subsequent interview that the president And in fact, during that interview, the president continued doubling down on this sentiment when you tell somebody you're gonna have to pay a little more not that much more, a little more for gas, saline for a very short period of time, because we wanna stop the threat of being blown to pieces by a lunatic by a crazy person, and they are crazy, using Of course to people struggling to put food on the table or who are gross There was nothing fake about the question. And as far as the President's answer, we've played the entire thing for you since he said it as he was departing the White House earlier this week. Okay. Good measure. Here we go. Mr. President, to what extent are American financial situations motivating you to make a meal? Not even a little bit. It the only thing that matters when I'm talking about Iran, they can't have a nuclear weapon. I don't think about Americans' financial situation, I don't think about anybody. I think about one thing. We cannot let So anyway, let's find out exactly what the I don't know, financial people think of the trip and if they felt it was any good. This is C M B C I like C MBC because they kind of have to tell the truth is difficult for them sometimes, especially for the Sorkin kid. But they have to trail the tell the truth because you know, people invest on it and otherwise people won't watch the stupid network anymore. So here we go. Is the most important issue in the China-US relation. And if not handled properly, these two countries could have clashes and even conflicts. What do you make of this warning? That's a very good question, and that's probably the big gest concern for people like myself live in Taiwan. In the summit there are three subjects Trump wants to talk about. Number one is Iran and the war, because they want to reduce uh inflation with more supply of oil. Number two is trade. That's why Trump got all the CEOs, uh, Nvidia, Apple, etc. to China about trade. Number three is Taiwan. But from C's perspective, the order importance is reversed. So if you listen and I I'm just going to think it's true, I don't know it could be total bull crap, but if you listen to some of the interviews, it seems like some other deals were made that uh are relevant to our relationship with China. is China's support of Iran . How big a discussion was that today? I mean when you say support, they're not fighting a war with us or anything. No. He said he's not going to give militar y equipment. That's a big statement. He said that today. That's a big stat ement. Said that strongly. But at the same time he said, you know, they buy a lot of their oil there and they'd like to keep doing that. He'd like to see hormone straight opened. I said, well we didn't stop it. They did it, then we stopped them. You know, sort of interesting. He joked. He said, you know, it's sort of they stopped it, then you stopped them. But they'd like to see it opened. But they actually closed it. He didn't like the fact that they're charging tolls. I don't know if they are or not. I don't know who would pay him. I mean where do they put the money? The coun the country's decimated. I love how he's not going to give a a truthful answer. Look. Look. He's not coming in with guns, he's not coming in with rifles and not coming in shooting. You know somebody said he's been he's been very good. Uh they get a lot of their oil, forty percent of their oil from that location. So what has happened, and one thing I think that we we're gonna make a deal on is they've agreed they want to buy oil from the United States. They're gonna go to Texas. We're going to start sending Chinese ships to Texas and to Louisiana and to Alaska. All right. Let's go to CMBC with our uh Secretary of Energy, uh, Chris Wright. You said short term. Should we should the y the world get prepared for maybe a longer supply disruption than some initially suspected? Because give us your view on where we stand in the Straight of Hormuz right now, if you would, Mr. Secretary, and also what are your estimations about how long things might re take to return to normal? And I hate that term, but I think you know what I mean. Yeah, but a lot of that's up to Iran. One way or the other, we will see an end to the Iranian nuclear program and we will see free flow of traffic through the Straits of Hormuz. That could happen relatively rapidly with an agreement with Iran. Every nation in the world is standing against what Iran is doing, including China, who's a major buyer of Iranian oil and other oil from the Arab Arabian Gulf. Do you think they'll swap that out for US oil? It's kind of what I asked you at the top of the interview. Yeah, certainly in the short certainly in the short run, they're gonna they're gonna do that. Um they'll continue to buy and I think growing amounts of of US oil. I don't think I ran controls it. I think we're just sitting there like, oh, this is great until you want to buy our insurance and use our new shipping infrastructure. You can do whatever you want. Come to Louisiana, come to Texas, best price, everything 's gonna be good. And in the background we've got UAE and their pipeline, and eventually this thing will open up and I think you're gonna see the price of oil go just yoke Yeah, but don't we want to sell them oil at a little higher price to make a little extra money? Well yeah. We wanna run that. We've seen Saudi Arabia go full flow to the Red Sea with their port of Yambo. Do you think that the Strait of Hormu z and the Arabian Gulf are gonna become permanently less important? They're still massively important, but less important than they have been? Oh, absolutely. I mean, Iran, this is a card you can play once. You can play on ce. We'll we'll see more pipeline capacity through Saudi, through UAE. You know, there's an Iraqi pipeline that goes to Chehan in Turkey. We could see a pipeline going to Jordan. Hey, maybe that's why Turkey tried to get involved. You remember Turkey was trying to get involved in the in the conversation? Yeah, I think that hey, we got a pipeline, send it they're send it our way. This is good. Saudi through UAE, you know, there's an Iraqi pipeline that goes to Chehan in Turkey. Um we could see a pipeline going to Jordan. There'll be other routes for energy to get out of the Persian, uh Persian Gulf. I like prefer to call it the Arabian Gulf. How about the Gulf of uh America? Yeah, yeah. But yeah, I think we will see a decreasing importance from the Strait of Hormuz , but not a decreasing importance of those nations energy production and energy supply. They're great allies of the United States, they're key energy suppliers to the world. Some kind of plan that they're executing on and Rubio's Lubio, I'm sorry, President Lubio is aware of it. But there's going to be some agricultural purchases which are important and they' importantre for our growers and China needs those things. We hope in the future to expand it to energy purchase. You know, the United States is a net uh supplier of energy now to the world, we're one of the world's, if not the world's largest energy supplier at this point. Um obviously Yeah, I still believe in the ARC model. America, Russia, China And then that's straight I don't think it's gonna take forever. You know, there may be something to the you know, our basic thesis on the show was always there's a back channel in Iran. Yes. Giant scheme . Completely possible. And they would they and they getting rid of the Ayatollah guys was part of it because you know the real powers in Iran didn't want them around because they're annoying. It was super annoying. Well they're very annoying, you know, and this way they were put the tur m remember the turban knockers, the guy the kids go on bicycles and knock their turbans off. Yeah. I forgot about that. Well we already know that there's more hijabs on the streets of Amsterdam than the streets of Tehran. Yes, right. You got that uh information from a boots on the ground report. Sunday was what we had been told and why we bugged out. All contractors plus non-essential personnel evacuated. Uh this has to do with all GCC countries. Quote Trump is done effing around, G is handled, oil being sold from the U S CIA Mossad insurgency. Hmm. We have served as the sheriff. Yeah, well he's a military guy. We've served as the sheriff of the world, we're cleaning up European colonial. So he's there's a lot in here, but there's supposedly something might be happening today , and uh everybody's getting out. So I I don't know. Well it has to, in my opinion, because we still have the problem with the fourth of July. Yes. Yes . We don't need anything the sort of Damocles hanging over our heads on the fourth of July in our celebration of two hundred and fifty years as a country. You know, speaking of uh of Greek references, uh the Chris and Yes. We can't pronounce it. He says the Thysudides trap warns the upcoming power, not the dominant one. Athens was the rising power, Sparta was gunning for him. If you take the Thycyd 's trap as it was originally written. Thucydides. Thucydides. It's impossible to say. I know. Let's just call it T trap. If you take the T trap, which is kind of cool with China, China is in danger. China is in danger of the trap, not the USA . So even this phony baloney thing that the the the the M five M was bantering about, they didn't even get it right. Although I'm sure Oh they did what? What? Although I'm sure in a future dictionary the Thu Thucydides trap will be reversed just like decimated. Yeah, it'll just it'll just be reversed . Meanwhile, Cuba on deck. You recall the uh president said that on our way home from Iran we'll uh we'll pardon The blackouts one and two. Okay . Cuba blackout. Yep. First up today, Cuba. This week the island ran out of or causing massive blackouts across the country and a night of protest. Havana protests. What is who is this? Is this NPR? At NPR ? Yeah, at NPR. And she just I don't know. She just doesn't want to pronounce words correct or also got a visit from the CIA director. He was there for negotiations, starting with a tough choice for Cuba's leaders change or the US will act. NPR International Correspondent Ader Peralta is following it all and joins us now. Good morning, Ader. So let's start with more details from what looks like a week with a lot going on in Cuba. Yeah, I mean we're reaching summer there, so it's really hot and it so happens that the lights went off for more than twenty four hours this week. So on Wednesday very unhappy people took to the streets of Havana. They banged on pots and pans demanding that the government turn the lights back on and the government didn't offer much hope. The country's energy minister, Vicente de la Olevi, came on TV and said that the one hundred thousand tons of Russian crude that arrived in April has been used up and that the grid is now operating essentially without reserves. And remember that Cuba has received precious little oil because the US is running a de facto oil blockade. Cuba has been investing in solar power, but the grid is so old, so frail, so lacking in maintenance that it can't handle the voltage fluctuations that happen with solar energy. So that means that the long blackouts that are making life miserable on the island are are here to stay. And no, because we're coming to the rescue. Is that what you have in clip two? No, clip two's a little different. I think clip three maybe, which is a good different clip. But yeah. And while all this is happening, the director of the CIA lands in the country. Yeah. Cuba says that the US asked for a high level meeting and a delegation headed by CIA director John Ratcliffe. By the way, when um the CIA director comes to visit your country, typically not a good thing. Why why is he there? Last time a CIA director visited a country we got Ukraine. Yeah. I'm wondering this myself. They say, well, they want a high level meeting. Why don't they send Rubio? Rubio's the obvious choice. He's Cuban . Or or any number of people. Rubio, of course, would be the top guy. Island. The U.S. readout of the visit came out from a CIA official speaking to NPR on condition of anonymity, and that official said that Radcliffe came with a message for Cuba, and that's that the U.S. wants to quote seriously engage on economic and security I've spoken to Cuban officials and they have been fairly consistent in saying that they are open to economic reforms on the island. They're even open to US investment , they say, but that they will not, especially not under pressure from the United States, give up their president or change their one party system or for that matter, their socialist ideology. I think the question is whether those things are the changes that the US considers fundamental. So what? I mean does this point to a stalemate? Neither side is gonna budge? Had a conversation with Lilian Guerra, a Cuban historian at the University of Florida, and she sees both sides softening. The Vatican, for example, uh has been instrumental in bridging gaps between the US and Cuba. And it's notable that Secretary of State Marco Rubio met Thursday. Guerra's read is that the situation is so dire in Cuba that both sides are afraid of an explosion. Do you mind if I just insert one clip here? Because the fact that it didn't make a lot of sense that Rubio is going to meet with the Pope. You thought, well, maybe he's a Catholic and but now it makes a little sense that it's part of the scheme. Yes. I have and and and by the way, that kind of reconfirms the fact that a communist system really should get rid of religions if it wants to succeed. I mean the the the thesis in Russia was let's get rid of the Russian Orthodox Church, that's you know , put it into the background because we don't need outside influence, which the Pope is, uh telling people how to think or how to behave, uh, because it's it's it's it hurts the consequence Well so I just put a couple things together in my in my tiny brain. So we've got Rubio talking to the Pope. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church. What is the uh original acronym for for CIA? Are you talking your tiny brain or the brain in your head? No, that's the tiny brain in my head. It's very tiny. The tiny that other tiny brain is somewhere else. It has a mind of its head. Okay, sorry. I was it was a Rubio talks of the Pope. The Pope is the head of the Catholic Church. What is the original acronym that we always love Of course, of this offer of $100 million that we're hearing now appear that the Ireland appears willing to accept. Do we have a sense from this meeting, this EIA, what you are hearing as well, on what kind of reforms they're likely to see, right? They want to see Well is ic reforms on the island, essentially opening it up to private investment. This was something that was a key focus of a different visit by U.S. officials last month to the island where they met with senior Cuban officials and they were saying they need ed to make these economic reforms in addition to those security reforms in in the near term, or else they would continue to face a catastrophic situation. It is clear here that these economic uh restrictions are going to remain in place unless these alleged reforms are taken by the Cuban government. However, the State Department says that they are willing to offer this a hundred million dollars in humanitarian aid only if it is given through the Catholic Church or independent organizations on the ground. They say that this this is the key st string that is attached Now a senior State Department official said that they have been in touch, they have reached out to the Cuban government through what they describe as a senior channel between the State Department and Senior Leadership in Havana about this aid. Cuban officials have indicated that they would be willing to accept it if there weren't conditions on it. So now take what you just said. So the State Department says Rubio goes to the Pope. He says, Hey Pope. Hey Leo, you're from Chicago. You know how to deal with me. We can talk. We can talk business. So we're gonna give a hundred million for Cuba. We want you guys to be in charge of doling it out because there's nothing more embarrassing towards a communist system than the church coming in and telling them what to do . That's actually kind of genius. I love that Mike the Mike Donations clip, which is the the third clip I've got on Cuba, has a similar kind of only they bring the UN into it and how they do it. We don't want to deal with them. It's kind of interesting. It's similar to your clip, but to play it anyway. The UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says it has raised only thirty percent of the ninety-four million dollars it needs for Cuba fuel shortages The State Department tells NPR that the U.S. will not give any money to the U.N. in Cuba, stating, quote, the U.N. in Cuba has long colluded with the regime. The statement goes on to explain that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has offered $100 million in goods to be delivered by the Catholic Church or other, quote, independent and respected organizations. This is this is like a huge F U . Like okay. You need some diesel. Clearly you need some diesel. We got some we got uh we got uh a Jesus boat with uh with some diesel on it coming your way. But you know, we gotta have the the Catholic guys run everything now. I mean it's such a slap. It's quite funny. It is funny. And also you know that they're gonna that they're gonna do the right thing. 'Cause you know what the the whole point is stop the communists if you know if if Rubio goes and say, Well, you can't be commies anymore. Like, no, we don't want to do that. You know, that'll be a huge problem. It's a very strange situation. And out of the blue, I mean this whole Cuban thing was not part of the campaign that Trump ran and it wasn't even discussed. It's like a whole new idea. Somehow I think it you know, to be honest about it, it has to be Rubio behind the whole thing. He's the Cuban in the administration. And the Catholic. And the Catholic. Yeah. And a friend of the Pope. Yeah. Buddy Buddy. Trying to iron things out between him and trying Is he a Catholic or is he a born again Christian? No, I think he's a Catholic. No, that's right. You can ask your buddy. We consult the book of knowledge. Here we go. Is J.D. Vance a Catholic or just a regular Christian? Let's find out. All right, Book of Knowledge. According to the Book of Knowledge, J.D. Vance is a Catholic of a very specific type. Type , having converted to the Catholic Church in 2019. He grew up loosely evangelical Christian, identified as an atheist as a young man, then reconnected with Christianity during law school before his formal conversion . Thus it has been written well I guess he is a Catholic then. Yes exactly right. Anyway, uh so that'll be fun. That'll be fun to see. But the big thing is investment in the island, American investment. This is a great place for for it should be a vacation paradise. It's a new island right near Florida. Yeah. Jamaica's ninety miles away. Virgin Islands, Epstein Island, you know. Everyone's been to all the islands. It's always been uh uh and it's got igars cigars. Cigars and not only that, but the cigars are quite remarkable. Don't they have um don't they have a drink too? Don't they have some some kind of drink that they're good at? A Cuban . Okay, thanks. Very helpful. Oh no. Very helpful. Mojito? I have no idea . Yes, the moj ito. All right . Okay. Where do you want to go now? Well I got a couple of shortties here that are that are interesting. Uh but let's say I I've been wanting to get this out of the way. CBS did a special on trolls. On trolls? Yeah. Wait a minute. Did they interview anybody from our troll room? No, they didn't interview any real trolls. But it the whole thing Oh I see. So they're trying to deconstruct Trump by doing a story about trolls. That's I'm that's my guess. But here's the here it's a two-part, two clips. They're very short, but entertaining. Listen up, everybody. Arthur Brooks can eat a plate of hot trash. Huh? That was the first comment the CBS News contributor got on one of his online columns and his earliest experience of internet trolls. One of the things that we have seen since time immemorial is people with the pitchfork, pitchfork setting fire to the people they don't like. That's right. Perhaps the main difference now is that they'd have to come back to their families and communities, and now they can hide behind the anonymity of an anonymous Twitter handle. It's the perfect ecosystem for people who that we call trolls today. And if you spend any time on social media or any time in the comments section after a news article, you're gonna find that it gets really toxic really quickly. So as a behavioral scientist and also as a as a writer in public, I wanted to know who are these people? And I started to do a little bit of research into it. And it turns out they're not like just you and me. It turns out that they're different. They're from the 7% of the population that have sociopathic characteristics. They're disproportionately drawn from what we call dark triads. People with narcissism, Machiavellianism, meaning I'm willing to hurt you, and even psychopathy. They have psychopathic traits Well maybe these trolls are actually awesome people now that the way he described it. These are our people. These are narcissists. Yeah. These are our people. Psychopaths. This is the just the this is an offhanded attack on Trump. It's still our people, seven percent are in our people. That's true. We have a lot of we do have a disproportionate number of people that would qualify. Yes. And they should be proud of themselves. people than I expected. Yeah, but you're disproportionately drawing from that population. They're the ones that are actually trying to start internet conflict. They're the ones who are actually insulting other people. They're the ones who are actually trying to get you all fired up because they enjoy seeing the emotional turmoil . Yes, yes . That is exactly them. I love you people. This is what you're do yeah, the jig is up. We're on to you now. We figured you out. CBS is on to you. Trollery. Troll Trol trolerllsy are talking about you. They're getting their thrills from it. Now there are others who say they don't. We actually have studies that ask internet trolls why they're trolling. Some of them say for social justice. But guess what else we find? What? People who are activists, political activists , they tend to be psychopathic as well. This is one of the things we need to keep in mind. On either side of the aisle. On either side of the aisle. If you're a real activist and you want to fire people up and get people angry, there's a reason you like people to be angry. So there are some parallels there. Wow. So that kind of reminds me of that Twitter post you made. Which there was some video about a guy explaining how uh psychos get to the top of political psychopaths taking over the world yeah that was a good that was a very interesting analysis. Uh but Spencer Pratt falls into this category. Yeah you know you know what's interesting is now other people are making videos for him. No, most people have made the he hasn't made very he's made very few videos. The only ones he's made are are involved him and he says this is you know by be basically doing an interview. No, they're all made by th third parties. There's about six or seven groups that do a lot of them and there's a bunch of independents doing a bunch of them. They're all done by outside people. Not not So you know Tina is very enamored by this. And she's kind of given up on news. She's given up on our show. She's she doesn't even listen to our show anymore. Well she's like she's she's watching dogs uh on uh TikTok on uh Instagram and uh people cooking with cheese. But people cooking with too much cheese. And cats that play the piano. Yeah, that's basically our group. Yes. And we're losing. We're losing here in Well we're losing now and again, yeah, I'd say. What do you think? Well Well I think that's what everybody th I mean the what she says there is a is a commonplace uh as far as I'm concerned, the which is that Pratt is doing what the future of politics is w The the the issue, it seems to me, is that there's going to be some legal action taken because of likenesses. Oh, but if you're famous you can't do that. I'm thinking there's gonna be some there's gonna be some changes made in the law. Uh 'cause there has to be at some point because there's a lot of of r uh the kind of defamation that's that is part of his videos or the ones that that are being done on his behalf, let's say, because that's what the situation is. Even though they're many of them d identify what group is doing them at the end. There's usually an identification. Not always, but a lot of times. Trevor Burrus Okay, this is interesting that you bring this up because I think we're seeing the law change in many different ways. And you identified one early on about uh where parents are going to be penalized for things their idiot kids do. Which is I mean sneaking up on us. But it's it's really quite insane. I mean if if you look at the American laws, most of them were written based upon biblical laws, and this is the exact opposite. You know, scripture says you know no parent shall be responsible for what his child does or the other way around. And so this is such a divers ion from U S law and and the origin of it from a long, long time ago. And and so I was very surprised to hear Janine P Pierrot, Judge Janine, who is now the Attorney General for District of Columbia, when she said this. And as we grapple with this problem , there is one area that hasn't been discussed. Parental involvement has been a noted gap in any discussion. And I am here to say, as the United States Attorney in the District of Columbia, that ends today. Starting today, my office will aggressively prosecute parents under D.C.'s curfew law and the specific stat ute that we will use is a violation of DC Code 22- 8 11, and it involves contributing to the delinquency of a minor. This stat ute makes it unlawful for an adult to enable, facilitate, or permit a minor to engage in delinquent acts. The penalty is up to six months imprisonment . So if the evidence shows the parent knew or should have known or permitted or failed to prevent participation, we're gonna charge them. And if you drop your kid off and you fail to supervise them or you let them skip school to join the chaos, you are going to face fines, court ordered classes and possible jail time And they're and they're unsupervised because the parents are lack lack lacking some sit certain skills. Yes, yes. Yes. However, I think the kids need to be penalized. Otherwise they'll memorize. No, they don't. Well if their parents are taken away they sure do because they're gonna be locked up in a foster care home. I think you put these kids into uh you tase them first. So but there's things changing in our laws and uh I'm just I'm not on there's a lot of things I don't agree with. I'm I'm just I'm not entirely on board with that one. Eh . So Rob Cardi, our constitutional lawyer, suits and boots , he was so jacked up this week. Like, this is huge . And for his business it is huge. But I think it also is going in a direction that we would like to see. This is the um a liability a change in liability from a court ruling by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court ruled unanimously to allow a man who lost part of his leg in a trucking crash to sue a major logistics company that hired that truck. The man's attorneys argued that the truck driver Investigative correspondent Jim Axelrod spoke to families who lost loved ones in similar crashes, who could also be impacted by this ruling. Ohio State troopers confronted, responding to a crash outside of Cincinnati the day before Christmas, 2022. Can you hear me? A tractor trailer heading north on I-75 crossed the median and slammed into two vehicles. They were texting me throughout their drives saying that how close they were where they were and then I heard nothing. Amy Ross had planned to host Christmas for her family that year When we got in touch with the police, and the police said they're all gone and there was nowhere to go, there was no hospitals to go visit them at. The driver of the truck, a Cuban national with a green card, had left Miami two days earlier in a truck that police said had a stolen federal registration number. Amphetamines in his system. After the crash, the driver fled back to Cuba. How does a guy like this end up hauling goods for Walmart? I don't think that this driver or many others. So now the brokers are going to be liable for these crap drivers that they hire. Here's uh this is this guy is the he does a YouTube, the mother trucker. It's just short, but a little color to it. To put it plain and simple, a lot of owner operators are saying this is a big win because uh Supreme Court just had a unanimous ruling saying that brokers are pretty much accountable for negligency when hiring any motor carrier, right, that is un safe. You know, and they are including illegal alien truck drivers in this. So is this a big win? Because when you look at this and you're trying to book loads, the shippers, they want to pay top dollars at times. Not all bad times. And then they have the broker that's supposed to make sure that happens. And what do they do? They pick really crappy carriers to haul their loads. And they don't care. They just want that extra money going to their pocket and get some random carrier to do the job and then that person gets into an accident and when they do, there's no accountability on the broker. But now that changes Yeah, not only is it change for um subpar truckers, haulers, loaders, whatever you want to call them, but how about autonomous trucks? And with this type of liability change by the Supreme Court, could we see perhaps vaccine manufacturers coming up soon ? Well something's gotta give on the vaccines. Or or pharma providers in general. This is the creep who condemn you know wasn't gonna vote for Bobby Kennedy. He's a big promoter of uh of the uh of the vaccine for hepatitis B on b for babies He is a uh one of the top ten pr uh recipients of uh pharma money. He's also the guy when he was h hassling Kennedy, demanded that Kennedy see him twice a month to conf to confirm that he wasn't going to change the the schedule for eighty six vaccines for for infants? I mean the guy was just a bad actor and he finally , you know, they Trump wanted him out and he got out because he's also voted for Trump's impeachment on the second go round of the impeachment when Trump wasn't even president anymore. The guy's a total creep. I mean why why was this guy even in office? Um this brings me to uh hantavir us . Um this is the uh what is this guy? Admiral uh uh what is that guy's name? Admiral, Admiral. He's the Admiral. Um here's just him saying everything's okay. Zero Americans are sick with hontavirus. Brian Christine is his name. There's linked to that Let me be crystal clear. The risk of Han tavirus to the general public remains very, very low. The Andes variant of this virus does not spread easily and it requires prolonged close contact with someone who is already symptomatic. Even so, we have taken this situation very seriously from the very start. We've taken it seriously across HHS and particularly through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. And I'm proud to see many of my U.S. public health service officers have been actively engaged in the response. The CDC rapidly activated its emergency operations center. It deployed medical teams to assess passengers and coordinated closely with international partners. They have notified state health departments, they have initiated monitoring of potenti ally exposed individuals, and they have issued clinical guidance through the health alert network. And they have also brought together national partners through coordination calls. They've developed tools and resources to support public health decisions. Well the point being for that clip is the guy sounds like he's a typical boring guy and he's just you know he's going to the motions, but he has it kinda covered and he's not he's not b hair on fire like we're all gonna die Oh yeah, it's it's not gonna blow over. But then I but then so this is the new guy, Admiral Christine. So now we go to C NN and listen to this. Tonight we have a CNN exclusive K file and covering new details about one of the Trump administration's top public health officials who led the public federal response this week on Hontavirus. Doctor Brian Christine stood before reporters promising response grounded in science and grounded in transparency. But before joining the administration, Christine was an Alabama urologist with little experience in federal public health. He specialized in penile implants and once hosted a YouTube show called The Erection Connection on the U.S. I want to make sure you heard about his his YouTube show. Penal Imantspl and once hosted a YouTube show called The Erection Connection. Which I need an end of show mix. Some day we'll find it. Erection Connection. Anyway, so so The erection connection on his procedures. K file also found a history of far-right commentary and conspiracy tensed remarks including comparing the Biden administration to Nazi Germany, questioning the 2020 election and suggesting the COVID vaccine did little to stop the pandemic. Is a great find, but here's CNN burning the admiral over at HHS . The previous admiral over at HHS, of which they never said anything bad, was literally a dude in a dress. Yeah, Rachel. Rachel Rachel Levine. Rachel Levine. Literally a guy in a dress. Oh, never never a bad word about her, him, it . Come on . Uh you're nailed it. Yeah. Yeah. Well meanwhile it doesn't make any difference because Ebola's back. Yeah. Woo finally. Yeah. Yeah. When it rains it pours, people. Uh how about C B S first? There are growing concerns over yet another deadly virus outbreak. Doctors are monitoring an Ebola epidemic in Africa that may be to blame for dozens of deaths so far. CBS's Lilia Luciano has the alarming developments and speaks to a USB R doctor who survived the virus. In Congo's Aturi province, health officials are battling a new Ebola outbreak. The Africa CDC says there are two hundred and forty-six suspected cases and at least sixty-five people dead, the highest death toll from the disease in years. But we know very well that the country has experienced but the region where it is happening is highly volatile with the humanitarian situation going on and the population moving around about the possibility or the ability to contain this. Why is that compared to other times? It's already a big outbreak at the point that we're hearing about it. Um there have already been a number of deaths and this is a strain Egabola for which we have no treatment, no vaccines. The virus spreads through direct contact with blood and other bodily fluids. Doctor Craig Spencer contracted Ebola while working in Guinea in twenty fourteen. Healthcare workers are the the group that I'm really concerned about because they have very close contact with people when they're most contagious, particularly around the time of uh folks' death . And the US has been the single largest external player in Ebola response in the past . Now experts are worried that the dismantling of USAID and the US withdrawing from the Old Clarence organiz ation could have an impact in the global efforts to contain the virus. Let the H the the World Health Organization do it. Yeah, Bill Gates. Why does the USAID have to do everything? They can't they can't because they don't exist anymore. Well good. The Democratic Republic of Congo's health minister has said the strain of Ebola, which has broken out in recent days, has a very high death rate. Specific treatment available. The outbreak has caused eighty deaths out of nearly three hundred and thirty suspected cases. Shingany aka reports. The numbers of the dead and sick have been rising rapidly since this outbreak was declared, mainly in two gold mining border towns, where it's feared that high population movement could spread the disease further. The African Union's public health agency has called for an increase in cross border To contain what is now the DRC's seventeenth outbreak. World news from the BBC. I think I have one clip from CBS that has something a additional in here. This is the Democratic Republic of Congo's seventeenth outbreak of the deadly viral disease and it's unfolding against the backdrop of a deepening security crisis where clashes between rival militia groups have killed dozens of civilians in recent weeks. Well we know very well that the country has experience, but the region where it is happening is highly volatile with the humanitarian situation going on and the population moving around. So our response is to stand with the regional government, with the regional government and the country neighbor in terms of solidarity to show again that they can control this outbreak. abola was first discovered back in nineteen seventy six in what is now the DRC and is thought to have spread from bats. Now this morning health experts are warning. Bats those Africans are eating bats . Yeah, it's a problem . Yeah. We've how many times have we been through an Ebola outbreak on this show in eighteen years? I think it's four. At least. And then we had two Zika 's. Four Ebol as, two Zika's, one COVID, and now we're going to SARS. We had the swine flu. MAR MERS MERS , which is kind of cool. Got a new one. Well we had this is a second. We had a second I think we've had three incidents of Hunta . We had the current one, we had the one with what's his name's wife and then we had one earlier of maybe uh ten years ago that was a Honta discussion. I looked it up Over the flavored vapes ? Do you remember this? You've muted yourself. I don't know how that happens. I mean, that has literally never happened to me. But I think I can tell you how it happens. I think Tina would love for me to mute myself sometimes, but not on the show. But beside the point. The um what happens is I get these uh pop ups . Pop ups. Sometimes yeah, pop-ups. What what what world are you living in? What happened to a blocker ? Blockers don't work anymore. I mean, I have, for example, I got my AVG antivirus-free. There's your problem. A VG antivirus free expires in six days. This is a pop up. Renew it, man. So I click on it, but I I instead of clicking on it, I click on the mute button. Oh because it's this overlaying it and it's just misses I don't know. Okay. Well y it's okay. So I promise I would look into this resign ation from the um FDA Children's National in DC is sharing its concerns after the FDA's decision to authorize fruit flavored vapes, and that move played a role in the AFC leaders' resignation yesterday. Sunrise's Max Marcilla joins us live. Morning, Max. What does this authorization really mean and why is it driving this pushback? Well, Hillary, this authorization means that one company called Glass can now market two of its flavored e-cigarette products. They're blueberry and mango flavored. They're called gold and sapphire. And while advocates of this move are hopeful that it could help adults transition away from traditional cigarettes, there are many concerns being raised, especially for young people. So look, big picture, teen vaping is at its lowest point in several years, and these new devices will have a digital age verification. But we spoke with Dr. Susan Wally, the Chief of Hospital Medicine at Children's National, and she's concerned that teenagers could still find a workaround to the new preventative technology. Look, she says these fruit flavored devices are extremely addictive and oftentimes are young person's first experience with tobacco . We certainly are concerned as public health advocates, pediatricians and teachers that you know our young people will get the idea, oh, well maybe this means that it's okay if the FDA has authorized it. And it couldn't be further from the truth. So so one and I followed this because I'm a vapor and uh I totally disagree with all these Chinese c crap vapes that who knows what's in them. That'll probably kill you. Um and then they came up with it'll cost you a million dollars per flavor that you want to have the FDA uh approve. And this glass company, which is some outfit in Los Angeles, they came up with, oh, well, you have to uh link it with Bluetooth to your phone and then with a government ID. I'm like, come on, this is all nuts. But this is there is something going on here, two sides. One is the president who promised this to young MAGA, I can't remember it, but I I think he did, like, oh we're gonna we're gonna let you vape, kids, vote for me. Um and he also was having a meeting at uh one of his golf courses with the big boys from tobacco who are now switching from combustible products to nicotine just pure nicotine products and they've spent a lot of money on his uh election campaign and they wanted you know they want this they want the vapes to be legal and Durbin was uh talked about this in the uh in the Capitol tobacco companies have donated generously to Donald Trump's election his, inauguration , his great Gatsby ballroom, with the expect expectation of favorable treatment President Trump's administration has delivered for tobacco. Last week the Food and Drug Administration. And I just have to say it has nothing to do with tobacco. Nicotine is nicotine. It's not tobacco. And you know there's all kinds of studies that say it can be good. You know, d any having too much of anything is probably never good , but it's not necessarily going to kill you. Chinese vapes will probably kill you. Bad vapes can yeah, it can create fromaldehyde, you can get pieces of Yeah, and the problem yeah, and the problem with cigarettes themselves is the tar. Yeah. But it is true that the tobacco industry has been moving to nicotine and they certainly did support this president. Why is that important? That's what lures the children into this deadly habit. Scientists, doctors, and parents, even the FTA's own studies, all acknowledge sweet and fruity flavored e-cigarettes are responsible for addicting our children. Health experts I've spoken to believe the true number of high school kids vaping is at least forty percent. Forty percent of our kids vaping. Yeah, the same forty percent who eat uh nicely colored fruit loops. I mean it's uh none of it's good for our kids. Acknowledge. These are not kids vaping to quit cigarette smoking. These are kids who first became addicted to nicotine because of flavored vaping. Why would an administration supposedly competitive committed to making America healthy again, unleash this new wave of addiction on our children. Formaldehyde, chromium, heavy metals like nickel and lead all are present in e-cigarettes. A recent study found that vaping is likely to cause cancer. Oh yeah. We should not trust big tobacco when they promise they won't market to kids. We know better. Alright. So obviously this was kind of funny, and uh Kimmel made some jokes about it. And then you have the reported beef between the president and his head of the FDA. According to Wall Street Journal, Trump spent this weekend angrily bullying FDA Commissioner Marty McCarry, seen here uh moments after he graduated from the school of stock footage doctors. He berated him for delaying approval of flavored electronic cigarettes. You may remember Trump promised young MAGA that he would save vaping , which is as noble a cause as there is. And so like a kid giving up his lunch money, the FDA finally authorized cotton candy flavored e-cigarettes. This is what's important to him. Vape pens. He's definitely been in Florida too long. Alright. So I got no argument. I like vaping. I think it's great. I think it should be easier for people to make safe vapes. That's not the point. This guy was pushed out for very You know, to put it kind of bluntly, uh you've been getting some not great press like and uh you know I'm curious uh just today paranoia, turmoil, and backlash inside the FDA under Marty McCarry, President Trump's Marty McCarry problem. These are very recent stories, Bloomberg and the Wall Street Journal. A lot of it does stem what from frustration with patient populations and physicians, which what they say is um inexplicable decisions by the FDA to not approve drugs. Replimune, for example, being a key one. How do you respond to this overall criticism that I mean continues to this very moment? Yeah. Yeah, I think that article in the Wall Street Journal is the ninth article they've posted in that opinion uh section begging for Replomune's approval. Uh I don't work for Replamune, I work for the American people and I stand by the scientists at the FDA. Three independent teams arrived at the same conclusions. On my watch, we have not done corrupt sweetheart deals. What we have done is followed the science. So uh every accept or reject decision at the FDA on my watch has been the accept or reject recommendation of the primary review teams at the agency. And you know, I've spent my whole career taking care of cancer patients to suggest that we want cancer patients to die is a is a little offensive. So it's about Rep Limo on. Repli Moon has all the big boys behind it. I mean you've got BlackRock, you've got everyone has invested in this one company to make Repli Moon and it was supposed to be Replimune, isn't it? Re uh Repli well Replimune, yes, Repli Mune. Are you familiar with it? Because it doesn't it's not on the market. I hope you're not using it. Uh I'm sure they'd love to pass it along. Well no. He was saying There's a whole group called the Repli Imune Group. Yes. But he was saying no, this thing is no good. And these guys got not one, not two, not three, but nine articles in the Wall Street Journal opinion editors pushing for this drug. I'm talking about uh a small set of of companies have a trial that doesn't go their way. They call you, they call CNBC, they call Wall Street Journal, they're running as on your network nonstop, and they say, hey, this is wrong. The drug actually works when the trial shows it didn't work, and they dial up tremendous pressure in the media to drum up people, spin them up on results that don't match the data that we see. And what you see as a result are nine articles by a couple editors in the opinion desk at the Wall Street Journal pushing for one drug. I know well they would call it being compassionate to the 8,000 people with melanoma who frontline treatment. I'm a cancer surgeon. I mean if there's anything that'll help cancer patients, 100%, we're gonna get it to them. So final clip about what was wrong. Wait. He's a cancer surgeon? I thought he was a dick surgeon. No, this is a different guy. This is the FDA guy. You're still fifteen minutes behind . I am, yeah. All right, well if you do that, I mean I I I just want to go through it 'cause I to the extent that I've been exposed to one story, it has been this one. I've talked to the CEO as well and any number of other people. I mean they would say they're grant a breakthrough designation on the basis The original review team recommended approval. And you've got a lot of oncologists out there who focus on melanoma patients who seem to be begging for it. So again,, what is it can you explain what is it you saw that is different from what they see? Well, I I'm not going to talk about an individual product, but if you read our s what we call our complete response letter, you will see the details of the FDA's logic and uh you will see some of those uh things uh shown not to be correct. Can you give me something here to hang on to just understand what the details would be . Right. So for example, if you want to see whether or not a drug adds a benefit to cancer patients, you run a control group where patients don't get the drug. The FDA clearly recommended that control group. The company clearly did not do that control group. And so by law, we can only approve drugs with quote substantial. We went back and forth with them about that. Didn't they say that that would be unfair to those patients given the F F F The recommendations of the FDA were clear, misrepresented in the media. Uh big is representative. So when we're talking about how hard it is for RFK Junior to do stuff, this is exactly what this guy got pressed out. They threatened him. Who knows? Yeah, that's why they came up with the vape thing. Yes, exactly. No, that's what you do. You pound and you pound and you pound and say, well, hell with it. Let's go after him some other way. Yep. And then let's dream some some scheme up here and that we'll go with this. He's w was it what side is he on here? Well that's what Trump wanted to do. Okay, well let's go go after him. Yeah, you just keep doing it until the guy gives up. This happened with a l a woman who just quit the uh the uh I think she was the C D C or FDA and I don't I had a clip of I didn't but I was gonna discuss her. And she was a she was drummed out you know the same way because they the the this is major that if you didn't have the pharmacy companies so big shocking that Cassidy Yeah, right. And you even hear this guy saying, Hey, they're running ads on your network. Yeah, that's why our C MBC guy is like, Well, what's wrong with you? I mean, you know, it was a perfectly good drug. Everyone, the CEO says, oh, what's that so? The Wall Street Journal, nine opinion pieces. There was money behind this. Big money . And it was probably just for some stock win. I don't think they have care about eight thousand melanoma patients. Well there was a stock play at there was a stock at play. There had to be. So that's what that's No it was. It was called replomune. Okay. And that's what all this It's down to five bucks a share now. Ah, there you go. Everyone lost their everyone lost their shirt . So out you go. Vapes. We'll do something. We'll do something. We'll make you look stupid. Yep. I don't think Trump even knew about this part. No, he can't keep up with this stuff. Kennedy can barely do it . So Stephen Colbert had his last show . No. Well he had David Letterman on and they threw stuff off the roof of the CBS building. Yeah, I did see that they clipped that and put it online. Yeah, yeah, I saw that. Um and we discussed this offline after the show one or two shows ago. I'll just play this little brief bit uh about his replacement. Meanwhile, fellow late nighter Jimmy Kimmel joked at Disney's annual upfront about CBS replacing Colbert with Byron Allen's comics unleashed. Quote, it's bad enough to lose your job. Imagine getting replaced by the owner of the weather Channel. So Byron Allen will be replacing him. Um, our initial uh thought was go ahead. Pretty embarrassing. It's an insult. Yeah, it's an insult. I mean Byron Allen's something of a genius, entrepreneur, billionaire, uh, and he's been doing the same kind of schlock programming forever, although he does when it comes to the food stuff, he has a number of of foodie uh productions that he does that are extremely well produced. But most of his stuff is just you know, 'cause Byron Allen, who's a black guy , i is a wannabe comic who's not funny. Yeah. But he's got a a knack for produc ing kind of low budget uh mi mid quality material and he's been doing it forever. Way before we started this show he was doing stuff and he uh has this comics unleash show which is terrible. I mean it's very it's just not well done. But it's cheap. It's super cheap. So that's what I'm saying Here's the kicker. CBS didn't replace Stephen Colbert with Byron Allen. He is paying for the time slot. Oh, that would make sense. He bought the time slot. That makes total sense. Yeah. And he's probably gonna be more profitable than any of the other late night shows. Yeah. Yeah. It's like a infomercial. Yes, exactly. Exactly. And then everyone else is gonna go the you know, the you'll see NBC. The network actually instead of losing forty million dollars a year will be making money doing nothing. Yes, for something that almost no one watches anyway. Yes, infomer infomercial level, a couple of million people. Of which none are in the demo. No, right. You want you want to sell medical devices, you want to sell that . I didn't know that, but now that you mention it, genius. Right. That's why Byron Allen is a billionaire. He's a something of a genius in terms of TV. Mm-hmm . It's sh it's schlock, but it's still. What are you gonna do? What TV is good? I mean it's all schlock. Yeah. Ever since Dana Brunetti stopped producing shows and you know it's just gone downhill. Yeah. I'm doing this to get out of a lawsuit, by the way. No, he's good old Dana. Yeah, that guy. I heard that he's uh he hates Hollywood. I love telling my church people. Yeah, you know, Dana Brunetti, big Hollywood guy. He's uh he listens to the show. He's kind of a friend, you know. What do you do? Uh Fftiy shades of Grey . What? That's pornography. No, that was fifty shades of grayer. That was the bad one. Yeah. House of cards. There's a trilogy. Uh there was three? Um money ma yeah. Oh three moneymakers, yeah, of course. Yeah. Of course. That's why he has a a fire truck and a farm. Yeah. And we're podcasters. I'm just Well, you know, we just we got cash flow. All right. You got anything else you want to do? Yeah, let's see before we have any Yeah, I wanna do um with the Sharia Law clip is always good. Sharia law in the USA , big threat. I find this to be kind of kind of hopeless, but let's play these clips. And lawmakers warn that groups in support of Sharia law have a long-ter gomal of widespread influence here in the U.S. Warnings of Sharia's authoritarian nature and social class divisions based on sex and religion. They point to already existing Sharia-based tribunal courts happening in Texas and the United Kingdom. Jason Blair brings us that story. People do not have protection from imposing a foreign legal system or code that overrides or replaces U.S. civil or criminal law, nor the Constitution. House Republicans warn that stronger action needs to be taken to curb the rise of Sharia law tribunals and acting courts in the U.S. Political Islam silences dissent, prohibits religious freedom. At a congressional hearing Wednesday, one witness said many Islamic groups have openly stated their long-term intent of gradually making the U.S. an Islamic society. They've written it down in the project in a twelve-point plan. You can read it for yourself. They've come to make this country like they've made countries all across the world Islamic. Amy Meckleberg, founder of Rare F oundation, USA , says there are Sharia based tribunal services operating in America. All across different places throughout the United States, from birth to death, they now have full operational societies. So within these societies they have their courts. Subcommittee chairman Chip Royce says that the UK has eighty five Sharia law courts operating in the country. Disputes rather than the UK's legal system. Um he said UK. Yeah. Yeah. So it's called um arbit ration . That's what that is? It was arbitration Well, whatever it is. It's uh in the UK it seems to be somewhat popular with certain groups of people. Amongst the Muslims. Yeah, well that's what they do. But it's just like the the nature that this go it's gonna take over the US and we're gonna do this. This is nonsense. Vote for Chip Roy. Vote for Chip Roy. Yeah, Chip Roy. He's your buddy I'll stop the I'll stop the the Muslim um compounds in Texas. And whenever I say this, people are always like look at this man, this happening, it's real. Yeah, maybe. But we're a little bit just look at the percentage of Muslims in the United States and what their influence is. Most Muslims in the United States are not for this stuff. No, and we don't have open borders where crazy Muslims are coming in and we don't have a society where we allow the if at least we should not where we allow them to uh fire up their loudspeakers five times a day and have them stop and uh and bow in the middle you know in the middle of the street. Now you may see some videos about that, but that that kind of stuff usually doesn't fly in America. This is different. Europe is like, oh no, this is multicultural. We have to be nice to everybody. And it took twenty five years. If not almost.ither. It but you know, people are online though, oh it's happening . And if it's happening in your town, then you should put a stop to it. That we can do. But that didn't happen in Europe. I saw this in the Netherlands. I saw when and book they did a great job. When Pimf ijn was running for um uh for election and his party won after they killed him, two assassinated him two weeks before the election, he was saying , do not allow the Islamification of the Netherlands. And he got killed, and then everybody shut up. Went, Oh, I should I probably shouldn't say anything about Islam. And still took twenty-five years to get to where it is today. We have a lot of runway to stop anything nefario us. But you are being played, you're being played. Uh and I think it's you know, there's these these re geofencing operations. You heard about this? Yeah, I have. Um uh apparently Israel has been paying uh companies in America to pop up ad s and manipulate algos geofenced around churches, particularly in California, but also in Texas and the Dallas area, Austin. And part of their geofencing is Israel great ? Uh and part of it is Islam no good. Be careful, be afraid. So you're being played on all sides. But I agree with you, the influence is not that great. Oh man, the amount of people this is this is our next uh our next Waterloo . Part two part two. Rep Jamie Raskin argues that no special laws against Sharia law are necessary because of the existence of Murder is against the law in America. Another witness who's a high school student in Texas says his Republican student club faced hostile scrutiny and censorship by school officials in stark contrast to pro Sharia groups. Censorship, poster removal, and hostile oversight. An outside organization was giving easy access to distribute Sharia related materials directly to students. Administrators not only allowed it, they actively promoted Islamic events. Enough to deter any threats. Rob Republicans called for urgent action citing Sharia-based tribunals and early warning signs in Europe and Texas. Reporting on Capitol Hill, Jason Blair, NTD News . Next today is World Fallen Daffe Day. So if you ask anyone what is Sharia law, wait for the answer. W what is the what is Sharia law? Everyone thinks that somehow, well, it's going to supersede American law. No, and I have to agree with Raskin with on that case. It's not going to supersede American law. You can't go killing people. But that's also not what Sharia Sharia law is like you stole my chicken. It's not quite that stoned. Have we seen a good stoning in America yet? A good Sharia law stoning. But then there's been a lot of people that have been stoned but not in that way. So if Sharia law suddenly and you know you b then you can go stone a girl because she kissed a boy. Yeah, that is a that is against the law in America. You can't go stoning people. But it's a it's a meme now. Oh Sharia law, Sharia law. Ah please tell me, what is Sharia law? Trolls. What 'Cause the trolls are all into this. What is Sharia law? They can't tell you . It's fear mongering to get your vote for Chip Roy and Ken Paxton and a bunch of other guys. So we have uh we got a couple of things here. I do have a three by three we can do that and get out of here. Oh well a three by three is always fine. Now it's time for a three by three. Yes, experiment by JCD . Comparing stories from A, B, C, C, B, S, and MBC . The never ending . That's right, he's got the big three. And it's a story that will probably sound exactly the same on all three networks, but there's always a twist. You never know what these CIA broadcast systems will do. Yeah, that's where we leave them for last, and we start with the ABC people and about the terrorist attacks. Tonight in Iraqi nationalist in U .S. custody accused of orchestrating terror attacks like these, taking aim at American and Jewish targets around the world in retaliation for the war in Iran. Al Sadi with a slew of terror related crimes, alleging he coordinated twenty terror attacks in Europe and Canada in the last three months, and eyed additional attacks in the U.S., identifying targets in California, Arizona, and New York City. He has been trying to inspire jih ad around the world through the internet. Prosecutors linked Al Sadi to this stabbing in London that left two Jewish men, including an American citizen seriously injured. To this attempted arson at Bank of New York Mellon in Amsterdam and this firebombing of a synagogue in North Macedonia. He claimed he's a political prisoner being persecuted for his ties to Iranian general Qassem Sulaimani, the military commander killed by a U.S. airstrike in 2020. But with federal prosecutors portrayed Al Sadi as a terrorist mastermind who they said successfully coordinated attacks overseas and paid undercover agents to carry out more attacks in this country. Undercover agents ? Powerful. Very powerful. NBC. Tonight the FBI and NYP D saying they foiled potential terror attacks against Jewish sites in New York, LA in Scottsdale, Arizona. Plots they say are all tied to the Iranian regime. This man, Mohammed al Sadi, now held an Authorities say they've already carried out eighteen terror attacks in Europe pri,marily targeting the Jewish community, including this suspect, tackled by British police after a stabbing rampage outside a London mosque. Synagogue. Tonight, the FBI says H A Y I is a front for the Iranian backed terror group Hezbollah. And they say Al Sadi's ties go right to the top of the Iranian regime. Multiple photos show Al Sadi with former Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qusim Soleimani killed in a U.S. drone strike during President Trump's first term. Ah, there it is. This is Trump's fault. Al Sadi has specifically threatened to kill President Trump on social media. He is certainly a leader in this terrorist organization, and he was directing and inspiring terrorist attacks. These photos exclusively obtained by NBC News show his arrival in New York last night after he was taken into custody by Turkish authorities, according to prosecutors. They say since April he's been communicating with an undercover officer, offering to pay tens of thousands of dollars to attack Jewish sites in the US Oh , Tom, these are alarming developments. The suspect was in court today. He appeared briefly in court. His attorney says he thinks he's a prisoner of war. Meanwhile, authorities believe the case underscores the wide variety of threats for events like the World Cup starting next month. Ooh, yes. Now let me ask you some questions about this. That was cute getting the World Cup in there. Yeah, yeah. Let me ask you some questions. Um, so was he communicating with an undercover audience They keep talking about he had he paid agents around the world to do stuff. He was linked to Suleimani, Trump's Trump's uh trophy. So I I'm just waiting for this for this to be Trump's fault. And that synagogue in uh in Amsterdam, they they could locked off a whole part of the city. You can't even drive in certain directions because of that. But I didn't hear anything about this. To like some nut jobs, but I didn't hear any con nections to this guy. I don't know. This whole thing is fishy. Appearing in a federal court in Manhattan today, Mohammed El Sadi CBS. Appearing in a federal court in Manhattan today, Mohammed El Sadi smiled as a judge read off the list of terrorism charges. Arrested in Turkey in the last twenty four hours and extradited to New York, Al Sadi is accused of trying to hire someone who happened to be an undercover officer to carry out attacks in Los Angeles, Scottsdale area Well the system worked then. We stopped him. New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said we disrupted a plan to attack a Manhattan synagogue and in partnership with the synagogue's leadership ensured its security when the threat was elevated Prosecutors say on April 3rd, Al Sadi sent maps of a New York synagogue and Jewish centers in LA and Scottsdale to the undercover officer, agreeing to pay him $10,000 . In the next day, Al Sadi is alleged to have sent three thousand in crypto as a down payment for the New York attack. Texting, I wanna see good news tonight, not tomorrow, bro. Prosecutors say Al Sadi is a commander of Kata zbola. Bro wait a minute, is it where is this guy? Is he New Jersey? Bru y is alleged to have sent three thousand in crypto as a down payment for the New York attack. Texting I want to see good news tonight, not tomorrow, bro. Prosecutors say Al Sadi is a commander of Khataib Hezbollah, an Iran backed terrorist group with ties to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. He's pictured here with the late Iranian general Qasim Solomani killed by a US drone strike in twenty twenty on orders from President Trump. This case is a political case, um and uh it's a political prosecution and um we're going to be litigating it as such. Prosecutors also say after the war began, Al Sadi helped launch. Wait a minute, wait a minute. They he called it a political case? Well, that's what he calls it. Well, isn't that just terrorism ? For his ties to Solomon. This case is uh political case, um and uh it's a political prosecution, and um we're going to be litigating it as such. Prosecutors also say after the war began, Al Sadi helped launch eighteen terror attacks across Europe, including on a synagogue and a Jewish school in Belgium, and the stabbing of two Jewish men in London last month. Retaliatory acts of terrorism could become more common. Even when drones, missiles, and more stop flying over Iranian airspace, it is more than likely that these military campaigns have inspired a generation of individuals to continue to try to wreak havoc. If convicted major, he could face up to life in prison. Yeah, um whenever we have like he hired an undercover cop of F it doesn't even mention if it was FBI or not, an agent, and then he sent him some crypto and used bro. I'm like, this guy was some probably some schmuck. And then they found a picture of him with Suleimani. Well maybe. You could be right, but I think it's just a a maniac . Yeah. So on the t and he's got a boatload, he's got a bunch of cash and he's s crypto. Traveling all over the place, like he goes to Macedonia, then he's in Turkey, then he's in Holland, and then he's in Yeah, but he's been floating around too . He didn't hiring anybody to blow up a ma uh a synagogue in in in A rizona from Turkey, there's nobody, there's no connection. There's no it's not possible. Well, the good over here to do some of that stuff. The good news is he's off the streets. The FBI has done it again, and we're safe. Sleep well, citizen. Go back to playing your harpsichord, citizen. Everything is well. And by the way, did I my last clip? No. Harvey Weinstein. We're not safe because he's gonna be out of jail. To the index now, a judge declared a mistrial in Harvey Weinstein's rape retrial. The decision after a jury in Manhattan could not reach a unanimous verdict following three days of deliberations. This was the third time Weinstein was tried on accusations he raped an aspiring actress in a hotel room in 2013. Trial. That is that is odd, isn't it? Yeah. Well then I have two clips just to wind it all up because uh we're going to open reopen um Epstein trials, more trials coming. Uh and the Democrats. Oh great. That that's terrific. How many people have gone to jail so far? Well, they want blood and one they have a target on one guy. Okay. Here's the MS now setting us up. When I was 14 years old, I was abused by Jeffrey Epstein. He abused me until I was seventeen years old . What happened to me was terrible, but what happened after that by our own gov ernment changed my life just as much . I came here today to ask for one simple thing, to make sure this never happened aga in. I kept my identity protected as Jin Do . I woke up one day with my name mentioned over five hundred times While rich and powerful remained protected by reduction, my name was exposed to the world. Okay. So both of them say that they were abused by the US government . You wanted to say something? No, I was gonna say they got outed by the US government. Yeah, but say but it was I think the first one said it was worse. Yeah. Um so there's the the Democrats in this case want blood and they're gonna and I think they'll get it. I think they'll get it, and it's about one guy and one guy only. But let's turn now, sir, to the Epstein investigation because all House Oversight Democrats are calling for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign over his Epstein testimony. What should the American people know about his interview and how it fits into the overall probe? Look, no one should be serving the American people, certainly not as a cabinet secretary, when you are essentially a known liar and unwilling to tell the truth, when you lie to the public, and when you're not honest in a deposition in front of the Congress. We all have seen Howard Lutnick in multiple times say that after 2005 he had no interaction with Jeffrey Epstein, that he didn't know him very well. And now we just know that that wasn't true. We know that he went to the island, that he went into business with Jeffrey Epstein, that he communicated, his wife communicated with him. And so then to them him go into this interview with Congress and not admit to that and evade, look, he needs to resign or be fired. He has lied to the American people, and that is not that's not something that a cabinet secretary should be doing. And beyond that, this points back to this massive cover up. Howard Lutnick has been involved at the White House continuing to cover up for the DOJ, telling lies, and he's gotta go. Yeah, I think he will. I think that's that's the scalp they want now . Once to do it. Ludnick's just a nudnik by the he's a commerce guy. Who cares? Yeah, he's important to Trump because of the the US D C he's the big stable coin guy . Oh okay. Yeah, he's a big stable coin guy. So this that's I know he's the guy that uh that Musk wanted to be secretary of the Treasury. He's a big Lutnik fan. Oh, I'm glad we got uh General Patton on the down low. That guy's much better. Much better. More fun . Speaking of treasury. Um this podcast uh runs value for value. And you've listened up to this point. You might want to listen a little bit further because you're going to find some very hilarious notes that people send in to this podcast. Uh outstanding uh and interesting services that they provide to Noah Gender Nation and collaborate together. Which is why I want to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in the Cuban blackouts. Say hello to my friend on the other end, the one, the only Mr. John Ceno . Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning, our ships and sea boost and the graph feet in the air, so it's no water naves and nights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room when you count it for a second one thousand six hundred and eighty one on the troll counts wonderful trolls good to have you here and congratulations with your uh profile on CBS.' Its amazing . Now everybody knows how you operate and what you are. Now, of course, a lot of these trolls are just listening patiently. They're just listening to the show. They like doing that because they got alerted by their modern podcast app , which I think you all should be using. If not, then you need to go to podcast apps dot com. Uh these apps are fantastic when we go live. Many of the No Agenda Nation shows go live and we have the live stream and we have the troll room . Uh you get notified and you listen to that live in your actual podcast app. It's a new form of radio, I tell you. Because if you don't have an opportunity, it is. I'm we're reinventing radio. Do you know that do you know that podcasts have now surpassed talk rad io? Well that doesn't surprise me. Uh there's still like some obscene number, like forty billion dollars in advertising going to radio Yeah. But it's doesn't seem to be going to podcast. You notice how uh the pivot the pivot pod , they thought that uh they were gonna sell their show. I don't think so. They're just still sitting with the same old. Rogan money they were talking. Yeah, rogan money money until it turns out nah not really. Really isn't all that . So get one of those modern podcast apps and then consider supporting the show. It's value for value. You can do that in three ways: time, talent, treasure. Uh we love all of it. Of course, treasure is extremely important for us to keep uh our home fires burning. But people do fun things. They do a lot of cool stuff for the show, send boots and uh boots on the ground, um jingles, clips, end of show mixes, organize meetups, and sometimes just you know, just uh troll us. That's also a form of time and talent, I guess. And then we have uh the artists who prompt away and make artwork for our album art, which is critical to the success of the show because it looks really great on social media. People love it. And we always can tell it's kind of a feedback mechanism for us as well. When we really hit on something, then we see a whole bunch of art pieces that show up about that one thing. And then we know that we succeeded in our mission. We made you laugh. We made you cry. We made you think about something . And this was very prevalent with the numbuts, which is the artwork dun uh done by Francisco Scaramanga. Uh numnuts is what I called some members of our intelligence Yeah picture. Smoking smoking smoking stuff. And uh yeah, it was good. It was fantastic. Can we get animated art for an album art? I have to see if we can make that. That should be something that the modern podcast apps do . How cool would that be to have a little video playing instead of that would be cool. That you have to make that part of the uh podcasting two point oh spec. I'm on it both I'm on it. Let's take a look at what else was submitted at NoAgenda ArtGenerator.com. Uh the a lot of value in that operation uh from Sir Paul Couture. Let us take a look here. Um we had some butts. We have butts, that's comics or blogger. Oh, we had a lot of uh pomp and pomp and ceremony. There's another one. Got a lot of pomp and ceremony art pieces. Um, a lot of poop on the marble. Man, that really hit. Huh? Poop on the marble. And then the mouse trap with the cheese and the chocolate. Did you see the note that came in that someone said the mask finally slipped and you're actually a sadist and a very, very evil human? Oh yeah, I got one of those notes too. That I'm a terrible person for crushing a mouse. Now the fact is that that was just a joke. Uh if you want to know what really happens when I get a mouse in a in a glue trap 'cause I'm like fearful of getting f mouse fleas that hit me, I actually take a uh plastic bag and and slowly kick the mouse in the trap into the bag and then seal the plastic bag and throw it in the garbage as fast as I can. So he's live alive in the garbage and he just dies slowly in the garbage. So the So this morning I was up at five as I used to be. So the the So the guys who who made these comments, I think there's a couple of them. They're n they're idiots, okay? It's just that simple. This morning I'm sitting in the kitchen at five A.M. and it's kind of half dark. And I see something out of the corner of my eye, and I'm telling you, a mouse walked right across the floor. Like, wow, I can't wait to use John's glue trap system. It's great. Well, you know, these some of these mice have a lot of nerve. Oh, he was bold. Yeah. He was very bold. I'm gonna get 'em. No, you'll get 'em. You have to be careful because they start to multiply pretty quickly. Yeah, but I know how to get 'em. I know how to get 'em. And then you know, just like the ants, I always leave 'em in the trap for half a day. So everyone can smell 'em. So they know this is death over here, people. Don't come near this one. Well, that's an interesting theory. Well, it's your theory, is what you want to do after you torch the ants. Yeah, well you do that. You want to leave that smell that torch smell. A lot of people like on the blueberry tip, man, the blueberry in the hallway, that got a lot of art. None of it was really fantastic , um, I have to say . Um yeah, which is we thought the number a lot of submissions though. Yeah, which is good. We like that. So people are keeping busy, keeping the uh AI companies uh uh unprofitable. So thank you very much. Uh Scaramanga Francisco Scar Scaramanga. You know what did I tell you his wife is some supermodel or some like model ? No, I never heard this. Yeah, comics or blogger told me. He seen a picture of her. He says he's like a model . Yeah. Yeah. The guy's lucky. He could be a podcaster. He's probably doing he's probably he's probably independently wealthy . You know what I mean? One of those guys. We can dream up whatever we want. That's right. With a name like Scar amanga, yeah it could be anything. So now we would like to thank um the people who supported us with treasure. We thank everybody, fifty dollars and above. And if you are fortunate enough to be able to support us with two hundred dollars or between $200 and $300. Not only will we guaranteed read your notes, but we will also give you a Hollywood title of associate executive producer, just like Dana Brunetti, Big Hollywood Bigwig. You can s find his name at imdb.com with that credit and you will be there as well and you can use that on your uh resume your uh that gets results. You can use it uh in your social media profile. LinkedIn it always worked. You can even become a consultant, I think, on some movies if you want, or podcasts. Three hundred dollars or more, the same deal, we'd read your note and you'll get a credit of executive producer. We still have a few order of the uh Red Heart, uh Order of the Heart, Red Knights available, uh and which is just that beautiful package that you get, and that was kind of a promo to uh to welcome you back to the world of the living. And I think we'll have uh one, if not two of them today because we start with Samuel Montgomery from Arvada, Colorado, who comes in with one thousand dollars plus fees, so that's one thousand thirty and twenty-six cents. Thank you for saving us the fees. And he says, I TM John and Adam, first time donor. I'm a registered cardiovascular invasive specialist. I've been that for 20 years. I'm gonna give him a deduce for sure. You've been deduced. I assist with performing cardiac cath procedures, which I assume John had prior to his open heart surgery. It is an honor to become a red knight. Did you have a cath uh card cardiaciac cardiac cath. They run this thing up your leg. Oh in your leg? Well they start in the leg, the top of the part of the leg and then they run this thing up your up the veins or something with a then they just run it up there to check out and then they send some some horrible dye into your system that then toxic poisons your kidneys. And then uh I can go on and on about this. And then they uh and then you had do I had to go on dialysis for like a month and a half to get this poison out of the system. Does dialysis does that hurt? Does it suck? What's that like? Actually uh not being on it is nice. But but uh but when you're on it it's y it's like uh you can nap through it. Oh . So I just dozed off. But it's no it doesn't hurt at all. It's actually it's just annoyingly waste of time because it takes forever. Jay, Jay, please get a picture of John napping during dialysis. Too late. Oh, you don't have to do it anymore? No, no, I I d haven't done it for a month now. Uh good. I'm good. I'm happy to hear that. How about the aggravation? How about the fluids? Is that is that over now? 'Cause we really No, I still had some fluids drained the other day. Yeah. Uh I'm actually kinda clear right now so I have a more sonorous voice. You do? I can make deeper sounds. It's a few. And uh uh the I don't know when that's gonna and that's getting annoying because they have this one guy who's actually pretty good at it. Doing these thora esis where they they they stick here's what what's so this guy's really good at it, doesn't it doesn't hurt and it's actually quite pleasant. So the time before last uh the guy this guy's his name's Hans. He's a excellent at this. His name is Hans. Hans. Hans. Yes. It's actually in the sh more of an Asian. But anyway, so he says, I have a res ident here who wants to observe uh to so he can do this too. Okay. And would you mind having that happen? And you being a nice guy, you went, yeah, sure, no problem. I went, sure, yeah, no problem. And uh but that was a mistake . Because instead of the normal uh you know, the the way he normally soothes with the way he does the whole s shi shivs you with the needle Between the ribs and he's he's describing this the whole process. And it's it's it's disconcerning at to say the least. It was disgusting. I'm so sorry. But it was it less fluid than normal? Are we on the uh on the on are we on the uptake here? Are we doing better with this? Yeah, I think barely, yes. 'Cause I because you know I don't want to have to have an operation for that. No, there's I it's just the whole thing is is just annoying. Yeah. Yeah. But are you you gonna go home soon? Are you gonna go back home? Yeah, I can probably get there now. I mean I d but you know it's some it's kinda comfortable b being waited on here. So Oh my back hurts. I'm with ya. I hear ya. It's comfortable. Nice. All right . All right. Um onward with Steve Slocum, who also came in with a thousand dollars? Uh hello Adam and John.

I'd worked in one of the country's largest VA health care facilities before and during and after COVID. The messaging this country received during that period of time was dramatically different than what was happening in these facilities. Veterans with active COVID diagnosis were forced to isolate in patient rooms together No. Didn't come in. I guess it would become a bit more .

Thank you, Mitch. Dennis Cadle coming in from Tampa, Florida. We recognize the name three hundred thirty three thirty three ITM John and Adam, just to give you some background. I actually have a history of correspondence with John going back to nineteen ninety nine, though I'm sure he doesn't recall. Let's find out . Let's let's see if John remembers this. I was a Mac guy and an Apple employee that would routinely take offense to his articles where he would suggest Apple shut the doors, sell the stock, and give it back to the shareholders, or that jobs return would do absolutely nothing to bring the brand back to prominence, etc. Wait, wait, wait. But I was amazed when he actually would respond to my rant ings and would be ever so gracious and sweet. Okay, do you remember this? Oh yeah, I'm a sweet guy. No, no. I'm sure he wasn't the only other thing. Okay, so I was hired this really became mostly during the Mac era when I was hired as the anti editor of Mac user by the publisher Felix Dennis, who who got who I knew is he didn't say would you like to be the we like to put you on the bac inside back cover, but your job is to just say bad things so we can balance the magazine. And you went, Heck yeah, I'm in. Oh, yeah, I can do that. No problem . And so they I became it and I was on the masthead as the anti editor and uh I w wrote these columns at the back which, were always critical . And but I was also critical in PC Magazine and elsewhere, especially when I wrote the uh column, which I think Steve Jobs put up in a frame, which was Steve Jobs Good Riddance when he quit was a classic. But yeah, I got a bunch of guys like this that were uh that by my my rantings. That's funny. Spe He says speaking of sweet like John, we invite everyone in Gitmo Nation to try our Manuka Gold honey with lemongrass, ginger, and turmeric. Visit us at Manuka Gold dot comcom., that's Manuka with a K for our wonderful line of wellness products. B well at Manuka Gold.com. So this is an Apple guy who sold his stock and bought some bees .

And uh please remember us at NoahGendheDonations.com. Until Thursday, adios mo fooes of hoey hooey and s Beijing lights, the great heart glows red. Trump grins wide. She nods his head. Fantastic eels. Better than never. He said, Why the dragon whispers? Taiwan's the thread, Legend Creek thick as the Beijing smog. CEO's bound when the cameras are fog . No big break through just the air fog. But the straight stays open, that's the real log. They chose what ice wine. We choke on a spin Legacy media already casuated Some in the shadows the deal never shown I ran in across here's the virus on loan It's a virus creeping off Antarctic boats Cuba black doubt while the spooks take notes Not the smoke rising over power zoke It's all connected man the no other than the plot Donate right now or the signal goes dark, independent voice in this corporate arc. House taboo, the warpowers dance. I ran on life, support another chance. They keep the forever machine in advance. Why the cruise ship coughs up is deadly romance and the CIA. Brick your sips, coffee in Havana. Energy collapse, but the real banana is the quiet handshake behind the banana. Rajeme change, tango in the candle, live brown. While some in the shadow, the deal never shown. Why the real seeds are sown Media sping pretty we cut through the bone. No agenda on me, that's the only throne. Donate right now, hit the link, make the call. No sponsors, no masters, just proof for us all. Keep the show breathing, keep the matrix small. All the next summon script writes us all The fog will stick through the silicone trees in the valley where the air feels thin Jum's locking the doors, falling down to his knees while the typhus is scratching to get in. The screens are all glowing a ghost like blue in a house that feels like a cage. The silence is heavy, the shadows are new in this lonely fever age . All the distance is a jagged line between the fear and the home. And I'm down chasing a fever design. Adam walks through the Dutch low lands Looking for a shadow from a hollow past with a hand , reaching for his hands. No comfort in the travel, no peace in the flight, just too hot speeding. Out of time, one staring at the ceiling in the dead of night, the other in a cold and rhythmic line. The fever's coming for us all So far apart So afraid We're all gonna die ! We're all gonna die knock by day mate fifty strikes carve guys a sky women child civilian cars targeted the anchors light, scholars need McCleans and slow. West Bank march is crushed again. Seven under protest flame, but the camera spins the end. The show went down. Bucket Monation, never sleeps. Dustin deals and else for the cycle never weeks. From the keys lost in 48 to the deals they signed today. Keep the signal clear or the machine will have its way . Trump and sheet hopes invasion trade jets for soy and peace House ties the R and vote tight Sempcom denies the deceased Cowels cheer goes cold Oh ghost line up for the list are connected in the fog Same hands same twisted twist Producer, this signals alive because you keep it free, no sponsor, there's no agenda, just the truth you help us see.
