# Al Gore Rhythms > A media blitz for the former First Lady coincides with explosive whistleblower testimony and a coordinated effort to overhaul the global financial system under climate pretenses. - **Show:** [The No Agenda Show](https://search.noagendashow.net/index.md) - **Episode:** 1549 - **Published:** 2023-04-23 - **Length:** 3h 14m - **Topics:** Obama 2024, Lake Tulare, [Twitter Blue](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/twitter-blue.md), CBP One, [Google Bard](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/google-bard.md), Kinzhal Strike, [15-Minute Cities](https://search.noagendashow.net/topic/15-minute-cities.md) - **Web page:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1549-al-gore-rhythms ## About this episode Michelle Obama appeared on CBS News this week to address gun control legislation and recent shootings in Kansas City, fueling intense speculation regarding a 2024 presidential run. The media blitz by the former First Lady is being analyzed as a strategic move by the Democratic establishment to potentially replace Joe Biden. Meanwhile, Nashville Police Chief John Drake confirmed that the school shooter’s recovered journals contained specific plans to target Christian children, a detail critics claim is being suppressed by mainstream outlets. Secondary reports highlight a massive IRS whistleblower claim regarding the Hunter Biden tax investigation and former CIA Deputy Director Mike Morrell’s testimony that Anthony Blinken prompted the infamous intelligence letter. In the tech sector, Elon Musk’s interview with Tucker Carlson and the removal of legacy blue checkmarks on Twitter have sparked a celebrity backlash led by Bette Midler and Jason Alexander. Simultaneously, the re-emergence of Lake Tulare in California has flooded 150,000 acres of farmland, while the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres demands a total overhaul of the global financial system to fund climate mandates. Scott Pelley’s reporting on Google Bard and the supposed emergent properties of AI is dismissed as a marketing stunt for Silicon Valley. The show also celebrates the knighting of Sir J. Dubb and reviews the Nashville Tax Day Meetup where dozens of producers gathered to support the value-for-value model. The segment concludes with a look at the SpaceX Starship debris field in Boca Chica and the bizarre proposal for artificial whale poop to refreeze the Arctic. ## Chapters Each chapter's transcript is at its own link.

CBS News, Racial Bias in Gun Violence Reporting (11:21–13:38) Nora O'Donnell and CBS News are criticized for their framing of recent shooting events, specifically contrasting the coverage of white suspects with that of minority suspects. The reporting on the Ralph Yarle case is compared to the coverage of a mass shooting in Alabama involving black suspects. The narrative suggests a deliberate media focus on white-on-black violence to support specific political agendas.

United Nations, Climate Justice and Financial Reform (21:27–24:51) UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for a total reform of the international financial system to "turbocharge" climate action and end support for fossil fuels. President Joe Biden pledged $1 billion to the Green Climate Fund during a virtual summit with world leaders. The rhetoric links climate security directly to global poverty and the restructuring of multilateral development banks.

Newt Gingrich, Joe Biden's Cognitive State Theory (24:51–28:06) Newt Gingrich proposed a theory that President Joe Biden may be exaggerating his senility as a political gimmick, comparing the behavior to mob boss Vincent Gigante.

Earth Day History, Walter Cronkite 1970 Broadcast (30:55–34:53) A retrospective look at the first Earth Day in 1970 features archival audio of Walter Cronkite describing the event as a "question of survival." The original movement is characterized as predominantly young, white, and anti-Nixon, focusing on pollution rather than modern climate change narratives. The segment also references "Hands Across America" as a historical example of a failed symbolic social campaign.

While planners describe the concept as a way to improve walkability and tackle climate change, critics view it as a surveillance strategy and a precursor to climate lockdowns. Residents in Essex County recently protested the inclusion of these urban planning ideas in local official plans.

California Flooding, Lake Tulare Re-emergence (38:57–43:43) The re-emergence of Lake Tulare in California's Central Valley following record-breaking atmospheric rivers has flooded over 150,000 acres of farmland. Despite the massive influx of water, media reports continue to warn of future severe droughts, leading to accusations of "gaslighting" the public. The flooding has significantly impacted the dairy and pistachio industries, with estimated damages reaching $1 billion.

Lab-Grown Meat, FDA Approval and Silicon Valley (50:43–54:23) Silicon Valley startups Eat Just and Upside Foods have received FDA clearance for human consumption of lab-grown chicken. The process involves cultivating animal cells in bioreactors to create meat without harming animals, though the USDA has yet to approve it for commercial sale. Critics question the safety and economic viability of the technology, noting that it currently operates at a loss in Singapore.

Scott Pelley, AI Emergent Properties and Meta's Pivot (1:08:42–1:18:45) Scott Pelley's reporting on Google's AI highlights "emergent properties," where systems supposedly teach themselves skills like the Bengali language without prior training. The hosts dismiss these claims as "bullcrap," suggesting the AI simply accesses existing data. Meanwhile, Meta has reportedly pivoted away from the Metaverse to focus on short-form video and AI, following significant layoffs and a lack of advertiser interest.
