About this episode

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos accused American Media Inc. and David Pecker of extortion involving private photographs, a conflict that has expanded to include the Saudi Arabian government and the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. Bezos suggested his ownership of The Washington Post made him a target for powerful entities, while legal experts note that public figures have limited privacy recourse against the publication of newsworthy materials. The security breach now threatens Amazon's $10 billion Project JEDI contract with the Department of Defense as competitors like Microsoft highlight the potential national security risks.

In New York, a $2.8 billion tax deficit is being blamed on the Trump administration's SALT deduction caps, which effectively function as a tax on wealthy residents in high-tax states. Meanwhile, Stacey Abrams joined the Council on Foreign Relations following her State of the Union response, signaling anointment by the political establishment. In the media sector, mainstream giants like NBCUniversal and Verizon are writing off massive investments in BuzzFeed and Vice as digital advertising models fail and viewership fraud via traffic assignment is exposed. Further abroad, Venezuelan authorities seized 19 assault weapons from a Miami-based plane as U.S. envoy Elliott Abrams maintains a hardline stance against the Maduro government.

This episode marks the numerological milestone of 1111 with a formal knighting ceremony for producers from Tajikistan to South Africa. The hosts analyze the distinctive, mechanical laughter of Jeff Bezos and the rise of the European Solidarity Corps in subsidizing youth climate protests. A special look at the Dutch tradition of Carnival and the "Holy Gift" Fibonacci sequence in Tool's Lateralus rounds out the global report.

CHAPTER 02 / 49 Discussion

New York Tax Deficit, SALT Deduction Caps

A conversation with a former New York banker reveals local frustration over a $2.8 billion tax deficit attributed to the Trump administration's tax reforms. The discussion focuses on the cap on State and Local Tax (SALT) deductions, specifically property tax write-offs. This policy is described as a de facto tax on the wealthy in high-tax states like New York and California, a detail allegedly ignored by mainstream media analysts.

02:34 And Tina and I, the Keeper. We had dinner with a former New York banker and his wife Friday night. Oh that must have been entertaining! Yes, I come from the coal mine where the canary has spoken to me. What does the Canary said? Well there's four... three topics, three big topics. And he was... One! I think he may have, they both may have been there significantly before us. Or maybe they took a car service? I think they were loose! The former New York banker is loose man. You gotta jump in right away so first of all it's like ha ha ha Trump did it! So what do you mean? He screwed New York

03:25 What are you talking about? Everyone's all in a tizzy about the 2.8 billion dollars tax deficit and he's telling me, that's because of the Trump taxes! I said, are you just figuring this out?! You didn't realize that the state and local taxes capped, but that wasn't to screw New York and California I guess he hadn't thought about it. Oh, you're talking about that cap? Yeah! Yeah, the cap is what everyone ignores. I mean we of course we were right on to it almost immediately because one of our producers is a local superstar CPA and works in the Bay Area The Anonymous Gay as we call him And another anonymous gay? Well the anonymous gay I know is the accountant Oh the anonymous guy knows that he's a lawyer But okay well maybe we should introduce them to each other

04:22 They get along famously. You never know! But this guy is, told us right off the bat there goes his effort, told us right off the bat... On time today too. That because of this cap on property taxes it's gonna it really is a tax on the rich Yeah But nobody wanted to bring it up. None of these analysts wanted to bring it up, none of these superstars, none of these pundits, none of these people on the networks wanted to bring it up because it would be against their narrative you know? Oh we're trying to save money... No! The rich are generally burdened with a lot of property and they pay a lot of property tax. Well he used to be able write it off now he can't. Yeah exactly and so this apparently was surprised everybody

CHAPTER 03 / 49 Discussion

Stacey Abrams, Council on Foreign Relations Membership

Stacey Abrams is highlighted following her response to the State of the Union address and an article she authored for Foreign Policy magazine regarding identity politics. Her membership in the Council on Foreign Relations is identified as a signal of her being "anointed" by the political establishment. Speculation is noted regarding Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer potentially tapping her for a Senate run or higher office.

05:09 I guess, they're listening to reading the New York Times not listening to the show. If they'd listened to the show that wouldn't have gotten so screwed Okay second thing He said And we weren't really talking politics he was just blurting stuff out across the table So okay this is you know and I always and I was drinking too so I'm like alright remember? I'm taking notes under the tables like I'm gonna forget this he says just do you know Stacey Abrams is no Maxine Waters. I said, what? Yes, Stacey Abrams did you see her to give the reply to the State of the Union? He said yeah of course I did! You mean on the green screen and all that? She's smart man she says and he kept saying she's no Maxine Waters so why do you say that

06:02 Well, just on the show it's like hey we don't see every black woman as a moron Maxine Waters. We're not racist! So I finally calm him down over that he's like, oh yeah. It's all agitated. Oh yeah well i mean i guess he's trying to... Well he's trying to give me a message and I appreciate it and he doesn't listen a lot to the show I don't think. I think he checks in from time to time and so you know his feeling is probably well I like Adam but you know he's racist and uh and he's a racist pig. He hates black people Women, dogs, blacks everything. So I have to tell him again to make sure he understands Stacey why Abrams is no Maxine Waters. I know! She wrote an article yes oh the article in Foreign Policy magazine that was brilliant. The one where she says identity politics brings us closer together she's smart be on the lookout for her now

06:59 The reason I bring it up today is because he travels in circles. He travels in circles where they don't know and maybe don't care that the New York state tax, real estate taxes were not deductible or after $10,000 but also like Beto remember? He was all over Beto very early on. Yeah, but it's not Beto. It is Stacey Abrams and he says No Chuck's gonna run her for Senate He thinks but it could get so crazy that they could swoop her in depending on how things go Oh brother and confirmed for your information

07:43 She is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations. Of course, that's why she wrote in the magazine. Yes It's generally reserved for those people to signal it's first signaling a here we well Read this read between the lines you'll get the picture now go out and do your job Well So we need to keep our eye on Stacey Abrams because she is anointed him did you say to him? Why is a woman, some random black politician in Georgia member of the Council on Foreign Relations? I didn't know that. I didn't have this information at the time. Well now you use it next time but the third thing was what kind of caught me off guard Trump's going down with his Bezos thing! It's over! What?! It's over! Trump's going down with the Bezos thing! What are you talking about

CHAPTER 04 / 49 Discussion

Jeff Bezos Blackmail Allegations, National Enquirer and AMI

Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos accused American Media Inc. (AMI) and its chief David Pecker of extortion and blackmail involving private text messages and photographs. The conflict stems from the National Enquirer's investigation into Bezos's affair with Lauren Sanchez. Legal experts suggest AMI may have violated a non-prosecution agreement previously established with the Justice Department regarding campaign finance violations.

jeff bezos· american media inc· david pecker· national enquirer· blackmail

08:38 And there's this theory that this entire fracas over the dick pics that The National Enquirer, or more precisely American Media Incorporated has and has apparently been blackmailing Jeff Bezos over. If they find out, and I'm just giving you his version. If law enforcement discovers that this was done illegally... Oh yeah this is a big, this is what they're talking about There's a couple of things so first the National Enquirer made a deal with the Justice Department after the payoff of Karen McDougal for $150,000 Yeah

09:20 that and they made a deal that didn't have to admit any fault but they also would not be accused of political motivations. And they have I think it's a three-year period if they break any law Then American media basically is over and then I guess the Justice Department would come in and bankrupt him And God knows what so somehow The and he and he was just went on about you know Bezos heavily secure. You know, he's got the best security details No, they'd be sending dick pics to girlfriend. I mean do you know how many places that could be? Ah no if they find out could be the girlfriend said yeah but here's where the mainstream media is trying to tie this in that a

10:05 his, the other woman shall we say. Sanchez I think her last name is that her brother has links to Roger Stone. The whole thing could be a Roger Stone thing? No no no no just saying it's possible you could think that but And anyway, so he's just going on like this comes out it'll be over. It'll be obstruction of justice all I'm like no way You know suborning something or others more like it So if any of what is happening now? Is and be those dreamers these dreamers and how they have to This everything has to relate everything has to relate the Trump everything has to have something to do with him going down

10:49 Well this and you I would like you to check with your Lib Joe friends, see if they're picking up on the same vibe. Oh i'm sure they are But you know what Jeff Bezos did for those of you who didn't catch it. I have a couple clips Oh good, let's do that then You have a backgrounder so we can really understand? Both are backgrounders There are two versions and they're pretty much not the same because there is different angle on each one You play one or the other or both but Bezos and texts CBS this is the basic story Amazon founder Jeff Bezos claims the owner of The National Enquirer tried to blackmail him Here's Tony DiCoppo

11:25 AMI, the publisher of National Enquirer is on the defense after being publicly accused of threatening to run lewd photos of world's richest man Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and TV host Lauren Sanchez a woman he was having an affair with. In a blog post on Thursday Bezos revealed emails he says are from AMI threatening to publish compromising images including at least two naked selfies of him. Bezos says it was part of a politically motivated hit which the publisher denies, wired editor-in-chief Nick Thompson. The technical question is how the heck did the National Enquirer get these pictures? Because of the allegations of threats Bezos made public AMI may have violated the terms of a non prosecution deal inked with federal officials after an investigation into campaign finance violations. AMI admitted it paid Karen McDougal $150,000 to silence her claims of an affair with Donald Trump before he was president

12:23 Sources tell CBS News prosecutors in the Southern District of New York are looking into the allegations made by Bezos that AMI chief David Pecker is trying to extort and blackmail him. AMI said it acted lawfully, and said it's launching its own probe to promptly and thoroughly investigate the claims Actor Terry Crews tweeted on Friday that AMI tried to silence him. And journalist Ronan Farrow says he also faced blackmail efforts from AMI For his part, Bezos hired a security expert to uncover how his texts were accessed He's Jeff Bezos. He probably knows good cyber-security So the question of how the pictures got from Bezos or Sanchez

13:02 Two, the National Enquirer has huge political and possibly geopolitical consequences. There it is! The Bezos divorce worth tens of billions of dollars is not yet finalized and Rina he and his wife of 25 years announced their separation after the Inquirers said it was about to release texts between Bezos and Sanchez Everyone wants to know how they got those texts Indeed This is it And you and I were like, who gives a crap? You know. I don't think about how they got the text but this is if we can find out that there's a link to Trump he's going down! Actually this clip means a lot more now that we had dinner because i didn't think in those terms that they're thinking this is like a bigger deal than it is first of all

CHAPTER 05 / 49 Discussion

Saudi Arabia Connection, Jamal Khashoggi and Washington Post

The Bezos investigation has expanded to include potential geopolitical motives involving Saudi Arabia and the murder of columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Bezos suggested in a Medium post that his ownership of The Washington Post made him an enemy of powerful entities, including the Saudi government. Additionally, journalist Ronan Farrow claimed he faced similar blackmail threats from AMI during his reporting on the company's ties to Donald Trump.

jamal khashoggi· saudi arabia· mohammed bin salman· ronan farrow· washington post

13:43 Let's talk about a couple of... Well, actually we can play the other clip. I'd like to hear this second clip too. Yeah let's do the other clip then when you really need to discuss it so people have some understanding of where The National Enquirer fits in the scheme of things and also I want to talk about McDougal and Pharaoh but okay. The world's richest man Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos has publicly accused the owner of The National Enquirer of extortion and blackmail. Bezos recently hired a private investigator to determine how the tabloid newspaper obtained private text messages between him and his lover, and whether the paper's actions were politically motivated."

14:25 For years, The National Enquirer's top editor David Pecker has had a close relationship with President Trump who frequently attacks Bezos and The Washington Post, which Bezos owns. On Thursday night, a reporter at the Washington Post told MSNBC Bezos' security and legal team believe the private texts might have been accessed by a quote government entity— Ah! —the National Enquirer's parent company American and Media Inc. responded to Bezos's investigation by threatening to publish revealing photos of Bezos if he did not agree to publicly state that the National Enquirer's coverage is not politically motivated or influenced by political forces."

15:08 In a blog post on the site Medium, Bezos suggests the leak of his text messages might be connected to his ownership of The Washington Post. Bezos wrote, quote, "'It's unavoidable that certain powerful people who experience' Washington Post news coverage will wrongly conclude I am their enemy.' President Trump is one of those people." obvious by his many tweets. Also, the post's essential and unrelenting coverage of the murder of its columnist Jamel Khashoggi is undoubtedly unpopular in certain circles." In his blog post, Bezos went on to write—

15:44 For reasons still to be better understood, the Saudi angle seems to hit a particularly sensitive nerve." Meanwhile, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Ronan Farrow of The New Yorker has also revealed he was threatened with blackmail over his reporting on The National Enquirer and President Trump. Let me just address the—so I'm going to start with this. Saudi Arabia part of this it was the American media who released a I don't know if it was a part of one Of their magazines or if it was a separate issue. They had this full-on kind of hagiography blowjob Pictorial of the Saudi Prince and how he's gonna make so much, you know great stuff in America Yeah, etc. It's all before Khashoggi Khashoggi

16:33 So that's why, that brought into the story and you know so that was seen as a Trump-Saudi AMI triangle to show everyone how great Saudi Arabia is which was then obviously tarnished by the killing or really subsequent reporting of Khashoggi in and by The Post. Alright couple things I thought we'd decide were gonna call him Khashoggi Here it is. Jamal Khashoggi A couple of things the McDougall situation which was mentioned in the first report Was not a buy-off They had hired her at a high rate of pay 150,000 to write an article Which was then killed right? Which is different

17:28 The Ronan Farrow thing, the so-called blackmail. Farrow's trying to get himself back in the news it seems to me because he threw himself into this story. Yes, he did His blackmail was they said you know if you do this we're going to ruin you! These sorts of Hollywood style threats yeah is never gonna work in this town again and we're gonna ruin you are not blackmail no It's just a threat. Nor was the note from The Washington Post to Bezos, the note did not say you know this is what we're going to do it says look this is what we have quite a list of what you have but if you want to make sure that never comes to light then let's all stop all investigations well yeah that will that's an interpretable situation I agree it could be seen as blackmail now the other thing is is that uh I like the way the Democracy Now woman

CHAPTER 06 / 49 Discussion

Media Privacy Rights, Public Figure Litigation

A discussion on the legal realities of privacy for public figures suggests that Jeff Bezos has little recourse regarding the publication of "newsworthy" personal photos. Despite Bezos's claims of intellectual property rights over his person, the gossip press routinely purchases such materials from third parties. The segment notes that high-profile individuals often struggle with the paranoia of identifying leakers within their inner circles.

18:23 Amy always starts everything off with some sort of a class-structured commentary that's just subtle. It seems kind of subtle, but it's not really if you listen to compare it to anybody else's report where you start over the story the world's richest man Oh yeah, yes. That's her first words out of her mouth. Yeah so nice position now let's talk about the inquire for a minute the inquiry is well known I don't think that the reporting groups at the general public to lib joes your banker who seems to be seemed to be was flat-footed about former tax thing former banker former bank yeah once a bank are always a banker he was flat footed by that i think that i doubt

19:07 He or the general public at large know about the copious amounts of money that are paid for people for photos and inside information. Oh, no certainly not in fact you know whenever I tell stories about this kind of stuff or my own experiences which just as an aside when I'm uniquely qualified to know what it's like to be in some form of personal situation that the media and specifically The gossip press has latched on to. The one thing that can drive you insane is who did this to me? Who positioned this, who leaked it, who knew, who said something and when you are the richest man in the world That can go a little bit overboard as just trying to find out who because it's really embarrassing

19:58 Yeah, well I can imagine a picture of him... his pecker. His pecker not the pecker and going viral because it gets on the net it's everywhere. It's like look at this hey Bezos nice pea nice package! I don't have to remind you of my first wife do I? What about her? Yeah, that she would die. Yeah you don't forget about the videos already yeah I don't care I'm just saying this is what happens it goes those nuts people can and it's always the sex stuff

20:35 Well, the thing is that this is probably... I mean to think that he's going to send the NSA or any of these agencies because the NSA has not run by his power anymore. Which is the implication which is funny. It is but they always make this implication as though yeah, that's who did it not you know, the Sanchez woman saying look at this! Look at him! He was very well endowed to her girlfriend Or her brother OR how about the woman scorned? How about the ex-wife? Another possibility. The woman's scorn I think was, is too...I think she's talking about being bought off. I don't think she is going to do anything but it's very easy and you get you send the picture to yourself real quick some people are really good at this and then you sent it to the inquirer or what you've got they tell you what kind of check they can scratch

21:31 And they said, we'll give you five. We'll give you ten thousand dollars for those pictures which is pretty much pin money for these guys and the gossip sheets and I mean that's how they get all of it. That's how they get the pictures with John Edwards with his second wife You know as well Well also thought it was interesting that in Bezos post on Medium Which just tickles me that that's where he published It's like He claims that this is not newsworthy, you know they really don't have the right. It's intellectual property look I've litigated that shit in court against magazines And yes, you are absolutely newsworthy Jeff Bezos. And yes if they acquire that by buying it from someone or some other means that is not illegal they absolutely have the right to print that and you have no recourse to your so-called intellectual property of your own person or of pictures. No he's such a public figure it makes even worse! Well he literally writes this isn't good for anybody I'm not important. No one should care about me okay?

22:36 Yeah, well good luck. Good luck with that argument! So the people you know they're seeing things that don't exist and inquire this is just the way they do business and I think they've always done business this way They may have paid 50 grand for these pictures Oh maybe more Maybe more That's not a huge amount for what you can get for some things So it's possible and if you're somebody that has access to these pictures or even seen them, and you need some money Yeah It's your best friend that you know That's that's you know gonna get kind of embarrassed for a while But do you could use you can use ten twenty thirty forty thousand dollars? You know everybody can count ease and she kind of you know. It's a man. It's you know but he won't tell her This is nonsense these guys are just making him out not have a well I

23:26 It's embarrassing and it is lewd and lascivious, but the way they're pointing to somehow trying to point a finger at Trump. Are you kidding me? Not just pointing just saying when this comes out he's toast He's toast again! Yeah now toast look at the Trump rotation people I do know why I think I know why Bezos is really freaked out And it's not that hard to figure out except, you know when you're down in the woods with the Twitter people and the blue check marks and your mainstream media. You can't always see the forest for the trees

CHAPTER 07 / 49 Discussion

Project JEDI Contract, Amazon and Microsoft Competition

The security breach involving Jeff Bezos's personal data is framed as a potential liability for Amazon's bid for the Department of Defense's Project JEDI contract. The $10 billion cloud computing initiative requires high-level security clearances, leading to speculation that the leak could benefit competitors like Microsoft. The discussion posits that a CEO unable to secure personal "dick pics" may be viewed as a risk for national security data.

project jedi· department of defense· cloud computing· amazon web services· microsoft azure

24:05 The big issue here is if you have the guy running Amazon and you got to think of Amazon in the broadest scope Of all its services and you WS, and you cannot keep your dick pics secure Why the hell should project Jedi for 500 million dollars be placed with you? And not with as you're from Microsoft I think Microsoft behind the whole thing could out could completely be true. Oh 500-500 million dollars? Eh, I'll get you your dick pic boss. No problem And that, they let him have a helicopter pad there and wherever he is with the new headquarters in Virginia. It's the big Jedi deal I forget what the acronym stands for but it's the big CIA cloud of the Department of Defense everything is going to be and maybe much bigger than 500 million. Of course it could! Why the hell would you want to go with a guy who can't keep his dick pic secure?

25:08 You're gonna keep our national security information, the CIA? You're going to keep that secure? Mmm... pass. Yeah! I think that's the problem. In fact, I'm inclined to believe that's the situation as it exists and this all this whole of course bringing Trump into it and pointing a finger at him oh he used the government That's what one report said they think the government had something to come on yeah NSA hands-on over it NSA is not gonna do anything So I think that's the real issue and... Well, it could be a dirty trickster working for Microsoft. At this point Microsoft has a lot of fixers Yeah you're right. Microsoft is competing for most valuable company all the time with Amazon too They are right up there in the top five pushing around If i were Bezos that what would I freaked out about for sure Damn man they gave me headquarters, they gave me helipad now they got my dick pics damn

26:04 Well, Emma's I'm sorry the inquirer. I'm sure Pecker knows who what the conduit is but he's not talking No doesn't have to be Microsoft got a protective story smart if it was Microsoft so solved We figure this stuff out exactly To make a quick transition to another topic that's similar, because you did mention Khashoggi. And here is an NSA...this is what the NSA actually does they pull this kind of crap if it was the NSA but I thought this coincidence was a bit much for me to take and in fact that wasn't even pointed out as a coincidence

CHAPTER 08 / 49 Discussion

NSA Intercepts, Mohammed bin Salman Bullet Comment

The New York Times reported that U.S. intelligence agencies uncovered a 2017 recording of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman stating he would use a "bullet" on Jamal Khashoggi. The discovery was made during a retrospective review of intercepted communications by the National Security Agency. The timing of the leak is questioned, as it coincided with a White House deadline to determine responsibility for the journalist's murder.

nsa· jamal khashoggi· mohammed bin salman· surveillance· democracy now

26:56 Or or fishy by Amy on Democracy Now kind of disappoints me, which play this clip NSA undercovers undercover under uncovers voice recording. The New York Times is reporting U.S. intelligence agencies have uncovered a 2017 conversation in which Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told top aide, he would go after Jamal Khashoggi—quote—with a bullet if the exiled journalist could not be brought back to Saudi Arabia. Thirteen months later in October of 2018, Khashoggi was murdered inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul. The discovery of the crown prince's statement was made as the National Security Agency and other U.S. spy agencies are reviewing years of intercepted Saudi voice and text communications.

27:47 According to The Times, Mohammed bin Salman made the comment about Khashoggi in September of 2017—the same month when Khashoggi began writing columns in The Washington Post critical of the Saudi government. The White House faces a deadline today to determine whether the Saudi crown prince was personally responsible for Khashoggi's murder. Hmmmm… Deadline tomorrow! Fact comes out today, after two years almost two years to September 17 magical. Magical fact and the thing that's interesting to me is that they have so much data in these computers at NSA in particular that they can dig this up? Oh sure

28:34 Sure. It's unbelievable that people don't, people aren't upset about this and democracy now that she's more concerned about the Khashoggi thing because she's like I don't know why but you always example of us killing people or... Well here is what i don't understand But she's not concerned about this kind of spooking spying? So how was this unmasked? That's my question because clearly I mean were there any American citizens in these calls We're never gonna find that out Probably not and I'm guessing that they you know did a search of word search for bullet or something They probably been searching for the last six months for different words here, and the files are so big They can't actually go start listening to them because it would take a lifetime So you have to do these word searches And hope that you get hit a home run and they did with bullet hmm. Yeah There's there's a lot of spying going on

29:29 You think that Amy would say something about that? No! This is great, this is good because it puts Trump in the corner. Proof! Yeah, Trump! Oh my goodness... Well there let's just stick with uh maybe get it out of the way I don't know if you have anything for 2020 which you know Before I even go into that. I think we just complaining about it, and you've always got the stories. I've got nothing right well because there's always someone who have a warranty they do have an AOC thing Well what I was going to say is that? I think we discussed a couple months ago that You know We have to do more with podcasts because the people that matter people of policy People that are in the mainstream m5m They're now showing up on podcasts many of them are doing podcasts And I think where really at

CHAPTER 09 / 49 Discussion

Podcast Industry Growth, Joe Rogan and Beto O'Rourke

The podcasting medium is described as reaching a tipping point of cultural relevance, with Joe Rogan's show compared to the modern-day "Tonight Show." Discussion turns to Beto O'Rourke's upcoming appearance with Oprah Winfrey in Times Square, which is viewed as a potential "anointing" for a 2020 presidential run. Skepticism is expressed regarding O'Rourke's electoral viability following his loss to Ted Cruz in Texas.

joe rogan· beto o'rourke· oprah winfrey· podcasting· mainstream media

30:16 close to a tipping point. And of course it's obvious that somewhere down the road 10, 15 20 years you know it will all be podcasts most of it will probably independently produced You'll still have mainstream but I don't know how relevant we'll be If you look at Democracy Now! That is basically a podcast that you and couple other people watch It's not much bigger than that So, you know Joe Rogan is almost like the Tonight Show of our era. It's not Fallon if you don't mind me saying so care yeah Yeah You know said do I think that it's a we're going towards this point where the podcast and it's hard because podcasts you can't just You're not gonna get a little snippet from someone there's not a YouTube video you have to listen to them I've listened to a lot

31:07 This past few in this and the more people can listen to them in time code and send us time codes the better it will be because very Time-consuming, but I do have a few gems. I think but let's just stick with What's going on? And you know who's anointed or not? I did see the Elizabeth Warren announcement this I thought was an interesting commercial Saturday February 16th That's right Oprah live from Times Square with Beto. Do you think he's gonna get anointed on stage? I think so He's he's Oprah's choice

31:55 That's not to be... Don't underestimate what Beto could do with Oprah. I'm sure that Oprah can make a splash with Beto, but the public is not going to go for this. This guy has never won. The public goes for whoever has the most money. Obama was pretty bad. His senator just voted president all the time and this guy didn't even get his job. He couldn't even beat Ted Cruz Well, to be fair... That's the way I look at it. You can't beat Ted Cruz or you're disqualified! To be fair, to be a Democrat in Texas before all the Californians have moved—you know he was a little early but he'll get there if he were to continue he might get there well i have the uh Elizabeth Warren thing happened yeah and i have the short version of which i think is all this should any anybody should do this cbs giving her her due and this is the last you're going to hear of

CHAPTER 10 / 49 Discussion

Elizabeth Warren Campaign, Green New Deal and Humor

Senator Elizabeth Warren officially launched her presidential campaign in Massachusetts, focusing on economic inequality and the Green New Deal. Analysis from Scott Adams is cited, suggesting Warren's failure to use humor to address her past claims of Native American heritage was a strategic error. She is characterized as a "mocker" who relies on sarcasm rather than self-deprecation.

elizabeth warren· green new deal· scott adams· political strategy· sarcasm

32:54 Hold on, Warren. Yeah sure I got it. Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren is officially running for president she formally launched her bid today in Lawrence Massachusetts. Warren says that she will fight against economic inequality and push for increasing corruption regulations in Washington Yeah, wow. She's gonna fight against inequality and push against corruption that's original That's odd because that was not the big takeaway from her speech The big takeaway it was the green new deal she's all in on the green new deal And she's sending out emails chip in she keeps doing chip-in I got an email chipping in three bucks chipping Green New Deal. Eh! And then she and heard campaign song Respect

33:38 R-E-S P-I-C-T? If only. Yes, that's her campaign song very brazen She's too much so she botched this whole American Indian thing and she's really screwed because of the of that statement but I Scott Adams talking about podcasts I'd listen to his Periscope thing yeah It's hard to get clips from it because he's he's I wouldn't say he's long winded but he's like a The pause seems to be his best friend. So you have to clip a lot of load that's when he's looking at the chat room, see if he has to block it spends a lot time interacting which is good as modern but so he did have a commentary about

34:23 About Elizabeth Warren and her approach to the problem that she's faced with this American Indian, especially that document that surfaced. That where she wrote it down when she was trying to get into Texas bar and I think that he hit something here is something we've always kind of. He points out something that we probably should always take into consideration and he, I think nails what she should have done but doesn't have the capability. Here's what i think she did wrong What she did wrong was you know the way she handled it of course But I don't think she's handled it with these sense of humor that it called for Don't you think a sense of humor was necessary? And apparently she doesn't have one

35:07 Remember I told you that one out of three people don't have a sense of humor? The smart way to play this would've been to consider it as funny as the people watching it. She shoulda paced the public, cause the public thinks this is hilarious and she should've just agreed say yeah uh...I got totally taken Yeah good point! Shes a mocker! She has no humor shes one of those mockers Sarcasm! She's a sarcastic person Yeah, no sense of humor whatsoever and I never thought about it until he brought it up. Well Suzy said it you go yeah Oh, yeah Never heard a good joke out of her or anything even remotely funny No She's not that person with a sense of humor at all she looks always on the verge of angry tears Just little just little but if one out of three people don't have a sense of humor That's kind of sad If it's true And I think it might be hmm

CHAPTER 11 / 49 Discussion

Psychology of Humor, Jeff Bezos's Laughter

A brief exploration of individuals who lack a sense of humor suggests that such people often use "phony laughter" to mimic social cues. Jeff Bezos is cited as an example of this behavior. The discussion distinguishes between people who cannot tell jokes and those who are unable to perceive humor in everyday life.

humor· psychology· jeff bezos· social behavior· laughter

36:08 I mean does that mean so what exactly what exactly does it mean to not have a sense of humor? You can't make a joke, you can't laugh about anything. What exactly does that mean? It's mostly the latter. Nothing is funny because nothing is funnier ever do you because you don't have a sense of humor. You don't see humor in everyday life. Well, I think that's a sickness. You don't have to be a guy with slap-happy joke...I mean, I know a lot of people that have a great sense of humor and cannot for the life of them ever tell the joke and they're not interested in it they don't tell jokes they just never were in a joke telling family right but

36:48 They laugh at things, they seem to laugh at the right time. They're not laughing because every... I've always worried about the person that doesn't have a sense of humor but knows how to laugh and that... That's Bezos! The phony laughter. They look around they see somebody else laughing so there go nuts. Don't we have that Bezos laugh somewhere? We probably do have a copy of it. Let me see what is this Oh, might have to play this end of... What is this? Okay. I'll play that end of show. Sounds like a winner! Oh, I do have a gem just regarding well not really 2020 but just the political positions Virginia

CHAPTER 12 / 49 Discussion

Al Sharpton, National Action Network Shakedowns

Reverend Al Sharpton's involvement in Virginia politics is characterized as a "shakedown" business model. The segment alleges that Sharpton and his National Action Network (NAN) trade "absolution" for corporate or political donations following racial controversies. This tactic is compared to the historical practices of Jesse Jackson and the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences.

al sharpton· national action network· jesse jackson· virginia· corporate donations

37:40 I asked on the last show, where's Al Sharpton? How come these guys don't know... Okay here is how it typically works. You're in blackface you do something stupid Al Sharpton shows up he makes a big stink outside your office with his NAN, Now Action Network I think it was called and then you write him a check Now, and I'm not making this up. You donate to the NAN and then Sharpton goes away and you get to do a little photo op? It's absolution! This is where the Catholic Church operated. Well Sharpton has made quite a business out of it... And then I said well how come he's- Where is he?! This is such a beautiful spot! Well see Mike who lives in the state

38:27 said, uh-oh he was there and listen to what Reverend Al said. Yes the Governor can be do you have to be accountable for things that you do? yes the governor can't be forgiven yes the Secretary of State can be forgiven but forgiveness without a price is not forgiveness it's a pass it's an excusing them and that should not Happen and that should not be in my opinion He's standing there saying forgiveness got a price He's just open about it. Yeah, it's got a price You gotta pay the price Died I mean I'd be signing with my checkbook out so fast. Hey Let's get the hustle blot in here said we look really good together

39:27 That guy's too much. Well, he knows that you know He's got it down where he can...you know..He's got it down The whole thing was developed this concept was developed by the other black minister Jesse Jackson It's the shakedown man. Yeah, it's the shakedown Wait didn't they troll room says they wrote a book about it called Shakedown You kidding me? I believe that might be true. Jesse Jackson, let me check... Shakedown? That would be interesting this is a book we uh well it was written to okay let's see Sharpton shakedown hmm i don't know if he wrote or was written about him no i think it was written about jesse jackson yeah yes oh man this goes way back sharpton shake down getting rich off racism nice

40:21 Yeah, well it's good times business is good forever now. You gotta wonder what he has on NBC brass I mean he's not on the air for no reason He sucks and you can't read can't speak. Yeah totally sucks like these an embarrassment yeah so why is he on the air? Shakedown! Maybe hedging their bets over there I don't know Who can say? Yes. Fantastic, fantastic! All right well speaking of Scott and his Periscope videos I was listening to...and actually I got caught on some funky bias that i have

CHAPTER 13 / 49 Discussion

Tim Pool, Joe Rogan Interview and Appearance Bias

An admission of bias is made regarding YouTuber Tim Pool, whose appearance initially led to a dismissal of his content. After listening to Pool's appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience, his background at Vice and BuzzFeed and his anti-establishment perspective are acknowledged as substantive. The segment highlights the pitfalls of judging independent broadcasters by their visual presentation.

tim pool· joe rogan· youtube· vice· buzzfeed

41:11 There's this one guy, Tim Poole. I don't know if you've ever seen him? Nope And he does YouTube videos and from time to time one of our producers will send me a link to video and say This is great! You gotta watch it It's like an hour Like Instead of saying, well you know go to this time code or you can also send me a link that's queued up for the right time code. Just saying this is great! You gotta watch it and then I look at the guy see this you know like a YouTuber shot the guys in the bedroom he's got a beanie on his head i'm like no and he talks a little bit like Ben Shapiro a little machine gunny not quite as bad and so I always pass by him...I'm not interested

41:52 And so I'm listening to this Joe Rogan show with Tim Pool and it doesn't dawn, because I'm only listening. I'm not seeing the visual like this guy is interesting he's got a lot to say and then it really dawned on me an hour into it like holy crap that's this guy! So uh... This is why I think video was a bad idea for podcasting then maybe this guy has his fame through podcasts or through YouTube videos and it should be a podcast. I don't know but I missed out clearly on some stuff because the guy's interesting has a lot of things to say. He turned off by his superficial appearance absolutely and i admit it look by the way that's, I think broadcasters discovered that this is important sometime back yeah it's like you got

42:35 What? They figured that out already, the appealing looks and just the vision by itself keeps people tuned in. Yeah maybe not we're just shallow old white guys what the fuck do we know He does know, he's been in these BuzzFeed circles. He has worked for Buzzfeed, for Vice, for Vox... You know, he is a former kind of skater guy very anti-establishment and he is now positioned into this place where he has very large following on YouTube And I actually have three clips because there are two other things that are really important that he was in the middle of it that I'd like to share but first

CHAPTER 14 / 49 Discussion

Twitter Banning Policy, Alex Jones and Jack Dorsey

The banning of Alex Jones from Twitter is discussed in the context of Jack Dorsey's interview with Joe Rogan. Tim Pool's analysis suggests Jones was banned for confronting CNN's Oliver Darcy on Periscope, a Twitter-owned platform. The segment contrasts this with the lack of action against left-leaning accounts, attributing Twitter's enforcement to media pressure rather than consistent rule application.

twitter· alex jones· jack dorsey· oliver darcy· periscope

43:15 Why Alex Jones was banned because they were talking about this you know and Joe Rogan apparently got so much hate for his interview with Jack Dorsey from Twitter. That, you know it's like oh Jackson come back and Joe Rogan is like I want to learn from this. And I mean I think he did a fine job except for not disclosing that you know he takes money from one of his companies and we got answers out of it kind of. You know it was like whatever it was enough to satisfy me. It was what it was but D'Arcy never really answered why Alex Jones specifically got banned and Tim Pool did enlighten the audience. Jamie, you pulled up why Alex was banned too which is... it's not very clear when when you think about the fact that they were saying that he had never done anything on their platform that was bannable and then what was the one final thing? Jack didn't know what it was He confronted Oliver Darcy of CNN

44:15 in DC and for several minutes was yelling at him while they filmed. And apparently, that's my understanding was the justification for banning him that he was harassing a journalist or something to that effect which is in my opinion absurd. Was he doing it on Twitter? I guess they post it to Twitter. No, I have it on Periscope, which is a Twitter-owned platform So you do something on Periscope that could get you banned from Twitter Well, that's the same thing Right Yeah, because they're connected In my opinion, so it's make it makes a good point How does Alex Jones get banned for giving that guy a hard time? But Kathy Griffin doesn't get banned for literally calling for these children leading our harassment campaign against names Someone with millions of followers led a harassment campaign. I'm gonna use their language Yeah If you're calling on your followers to do something your engaging in a campaign yeah, but Alex Jones

45:04 confronting the journalist who advocated for his banning is a bannable offense. Now, here's the important thing about Jones. Oliver Darcy said on CNN it wasn't that Jones broke the rules that got him banned because what Darcy said is he has been breaking the rules in the past and they never cared. It was only because of media pressure they took action against him. Okay, well we know many other people break the rules. We know far-left accounts have doxxed law enforcement We know Kathy Griffin led a harassment campaign There's no media pressure that's one of the big problems Twitter knows Conservatives aren't going to be able to level any kind of campaign against their platform They're not scared of it so this actually led to some enlightening information about how Twitter functions the The true reality of the blue checkmark verification which as we know

45:51 is it's big-name celebrities and its journalists you can have a thousand followers and you're on kay poe dunk and you'll get a blue checkmark because your journalist that you have a check mark I don't have a check mark I've asked for one there's been petitions for one. I'm not a celebrity, i'm not a journalist, im dick. You are both a celebrity and a journalist thats whats funny! Im just the douche dick and I need to shut up They consider you a douche. But somebody does it's like some one person over their hatred very important point because we have two sides to Twitter of course we have the people who have their hands in the code on the buttons all the time which can be done with or without whatever approval processes but more important everything yeah of course

CHAPTER 15 / 49 Discussion

Journalism Bubble, New York Media Echo Chambers

The "machine" of mainstream media is described as a New York-based echo chamber where young, underpaid journalists rely on Twitter for story leads. This dynamic is blamed for the inaccurate initial reporting on the Covington Catholic High School incident. The segment posits that Twitter prioritizes journalists as the "lifeblood" of the platform, reinforcing a progressive urban bias.

covington catholic· brian stelter· journalism· echo chambers· san francisco

46:38 And more importantly, you have a system we call it the machine. The machine that interacts with mainstream television... mainly cable news but mainstream television But they also all interact with each other and we're talking the BuzzFeeds, the HuffPost All of these bullcrap operations Well I say that..I really mean that They are bull crap and we have more about that later So having been in the middle of it, for him to explain kind of the process and he uses part of the example is the high school kids and the American Indian fracas.

47:14 and explains how it works, and what really runs Twitter. News organizations are headquartered in big cities the big ones you know see even Fox News is in New York so there's a lot of people who work at Fox news are actually liberal people don't seem to know that you live in New York your problem not a staunch conservative So what happens then? News breaks You've got all these journalists because I've worked with them but you know I worked for Vice I worked for Fusion And they sit around tables They meet up after work from different offices and they talk about things and they all tell each other the exact same thing And so this is why you see Covington happen. These people all follow each other on Twitter, so when someone tweets,

47:52 They only see each other's tweets, and they just write it. They don't do any journalism." And it-it's mind blowing to me because the second video that came out from Covington you literally watched Nathan Phillips walk in up to the kid and get into his face but at the same time we have a serious journalism problem and this links back to Twitter yeah and what's fascinating is following this story on op ed I believe it was in The New York Times said stop tweeting or it said never tweet Brian Stelter from CNN then got a statement that, but someone from Twitter said journalists are the lifeblood of our platform. And so that's why I think you've got these predominantly New York based progressive writers they're fresh out of college they get hired for moderate salaries to work in a newsroom sit around each other all day sharing the same ideas not exploring anything outside their bubble and Twitter supports them because they're the ones who drive traffic to Twitter They keep the conversation going and i think thats where twitter is biased

48:44 partly comes from. The other is that clearly you're in San Francisco, you're gonna have... You know your staff the people who are running content curation and banning people they lean left I think he's nailing it with them all sitting around there all you know, barely paid. Well this is nothing we haven't talked about on this show numerous times. This was succinct I'm not saying that we haven't touched on it and the last clip we've talked about as well but never with one important detail We've always talked about traffic buying and how bullcrap it is and how this bubble has been at which is now starting to burst clearly since these very same news organizations have to let 15-20% of their workforce go

CHAPTER 16 / 49 Discussion

Digital Media Fraud, Comscore and Traffic Assignment

Digital news startups like Vice are accused of inflating their viewership numbers through "traffic assignment" to attract venture capital. This practice involves buying the traffic of unrelated clickbait sites and aggregating it under their own Comscore rating. The segment suggests this is a form of fraud that creates a bubble of unsustainable jobs and artificial valuations in the digital media sector.

comscore· vice· nbcuniversal· traffic assignment· clickbait

49:26 But there's one thing we never discussed in the traffic buying equation and Tim Pool brought it. It's publicly known, but not talked about a whole lot that these media organizations mostly these digital new startups don't actually get a lot of views. So what they do is it's called traffic assignment there is a company called Comscore that tracks the viewership the unique views these sites have if you're trying to attract investment and you say we get 20 million views per month They're gonna say that's cool But this site gets 60 what do they do well? There are some sites This is according to variety modern farmer calm

50:03 What is that? I have no idea. I've never heard of it But there are many sites which you've probably seen where it's like the top 25 celebrities who, you know mess up their makeup Yes You click the page and they'll show you a photo in order to see the next photo you got to click the next page That way they turn you one person at twenty five unique views or twenty-five views. I don't want say unique Then, a company like Vice for instance will buy the assignment of your traffic and attribute it to themselves. So when the com score numbers come out it will say all of those views from those clickbait sites are actually vice. Again I'm quoting Variety here – I don't want to get sued but Variety said that their traffic went down 17% because someone they were buying traffic assignment from was going through turmoil and being shaken up

50:50 And another one of their traffic assignment partners switched to, I think like got sold to NBC or something. So what ends up happening? Well, I can say a little bit there was a company that was a prominent digital news outlet. I knew someone there who is decently high up who told me our company is contemplating whether or not we should engage in traffic assignments to inflate our numbers and I said don't do it like that's wrong and they said but we need investment So I wonder if, is that fraud? Yes. But if Comscore is just lumping the numbers together and I go to you and say according to Comscore our network brings in 60 million...I didn't lie! That's all true. Yes that's true so here's what happens these companies get massive investment they don't actually generate enough clicks or enough money then once the investment runs out

51:46 Those jobs never existed. Those were padded by investors, everything collapses. It seems like fraud. I had never... Seems like fraud? I had never taken the comScore traffic assignment into the equation Yes and this is very common Yeah! And i can remember i think we did it at Podshow Yeah, I assigned a Dvorak.org slash blog assignment to Podshow when I started working See? See you fraudster Did you ever get it back? Did you ever get your assignment back? I mean, all these companies are like this. There's this idealism that goes on there for example we had this guy at POD show or Meteo who was Chris the tattooed IT guy

CHAPTER 17 / 49 Discussion

Corporate Inefficiency, Inventory Management and Slideshows

A personal anecdote about a former IT employee at Podshow illustrates the internal chaos and inefficiency of Silicon Valley startups. The discussion transitions to the history of web slideshows, which were originally created to boost page views. While advertisers initially disliked them for jacking up numbers, they have since become a standard tool for traffic manipulation.

podshow· silicon valley· inventory· slideshows· pc magazine

52:41 And the guy had like a minute, he was just all tatted up but he was really. solid it guy that was a stickler. So he had barcodes on him, we call it dude named Ben here if you don't mind. He's our dude named Ben and he was, he would be the, you know, he would, he had a database so if you wanted to like for example I did every sheet of toilet paper had a barcode well it was close to it but for example I had a bunch of mics and some gear assigned to me and they had barcodes on it was owned by the company beep beep beep you need to check it in. It was an inventory For some reason, this is like firing the makeup girls. They fired him for some reason and there was a cost cutting and they never really... Nobody really took that job of his. So the database was now missing in action and all these barcodes are meaningless and I'm not the only one. Started walking! I'm not the only one but there were people with

53:39 I mean, anything that was just on loan kind of was now gone. It was missing it didn't ever existed and this is the kinda thing these companies are just...it's almost like a spit in prayer that the whole Silicon Valley even operates at all Well this particular piece can kinda alert me to two things One is NBC apparently purchased one their traffic assignees So, you know that's how they see fit to solve this traffic problem by buying these companies that put these and they're not really scamming it's just you can You know what? You're getting like click-click-click-click-click a slideshow right I mean and but it has nothing to do with the quality of the content or the journalism represented by it

54:30 So there's one I mean yeah, and so some of these companies are running into trouble other ones will just be purchased by the guys with the you know with the big Big deep pockets so that they can take them off the market and use their traffic assignment for themselves but Ultimately you're gonna run into a problem when someone says hey comm score. Oh You shouldn't be doing it this way. That's when the whole bubble completely disintegrates Well, that's kind of what used to happen I for example I'm a I could almost take credit for this slideshow because I don't know anyone else that was doing and when I was Doing them which was way back at PC magazine in the in probably The mid-to-late 90s

55:17 And I would do these slideshows, I'd go to a trade show and make a slide show out of it with my typical snide comments of all the pictures. And it was just a, although the comments were at the price of admission but there was this slide show and I took a lot of pictures in the booth bimbos and made some comments. So there would be like 10 slides and they'd click-click-click through them. Then I get feedback that advertisers don't want to see any of these slides shows. Really? Yeah! I was told never do them again Because the advertisers felt it was... Well, these are not on the website. These literally are about celebrities and dogs and other stupid stuff and they just count the traffic. It's irrelevant to the content so you... No I understand that. I'm just saying that as one point early on they didn't like it because it was jacking up the numbers

CHAPTER 18 / 49 Discussion

Media Investment Losses, Venture Capital and Smart Money

Mainstream media giants like NBCUniversal and Verizon are reportedly writing off hundreds of millions of dollars in investments in digital competitors like BuzzFeed and Vice. These investments were originally intended to reach younger audiences as traditional television revenue declined. The segment argues that the digital advertising model is failing, leading to a contraction in the industry as venture capital dries up.

buzzfeed· nbcuniversal· verizon· venture capital· digital advertising

56:14 But when Comscore comes along and they're using these jacked up numbers, they become more popular than ever. You can't go on the web without hitting one of these slideshows constantly. Al Jazeera reminded us in a little piece they did exactly where all this new journalism money came from. The other revenue source that will likely dry out is from mainstream media organizations that have invested in their younger digital competitors NBCUniversal and Comcast have injected more than $400 million into BuzzFeed. Fox, Disney and A&E networks have pumped hundreds of millions in device. Verizon has long been vacuuming up media content providers such as Yahoo!, AOL and by extension HuffPost in multi-billion dollar deals

57:04 There may have once been a rationale for such investments, but those mainstream media companies are now counting their losses in some cases writing them off and looking to invest elsewhere. All those investments came from these big media companies who made most of their money in television and pay television was just going off a cliff being eaten by Netflix Netflix. They were seeing their most lucrative parts of their business declining, so they were desperate to reach these hard-to-reach young people in their 20s and early 30s and Vice and BuzzFeed they offered a way to reach these young audiences And now it's unlikely that they're going to continue that investment just because of the difficulties in the online advertising market Who exactly is going to be

57:48 provide the funding for these companies as they go forward. Venture capital investors don't just give you hundreds of millions of dollars for nothing, they're going to expect that money back it's gonna have to come from somewhere because the revenue model Is now in question. Not only are we questioning the growth rates of these companies, we're questioning sort of whether they can even continue to be the same size So now you've got something that's not even growing it's probably shrinking That's not a business model that anybody is going to be interested in investing in No I think its well over now I don't think it's well over at all The VCs? You think they're still investing in these things

58:30 I think as long as the scam continues, and this guy talking with Rogan referred to part of it. But I think that the buying of traffic, the arbitrage all this other stuff... As long as those things can continue you can have these pumped up numbers that... And until dumb money goes away The investment community consists of smart money and dumb money as we know. And the smart money is already probably, okay this is bull crap let's find something else to do although they become dumb money when they go invest in green technology

CHAPTER 19 / 49 Discussion

Government Media Subsidies, Washington Post Super Bowl Ad

Canada is reportedly considering a $500 million subsidy for media companies, a move criticized as a way to keep failing outlets afloat. Meanwhile, Jeff Bezos faced backlash from journalists for spending $10.5 million on a Washington Post Super Bowl advertisement. Critics argued the funds would have been better spent on hiring reporters rather than a branding exercise during a period of industry-wide layoffs.

canada· jeff bezos· washington post· super bowl· subsidies

59:07 I think that's a fight. I find it somewhat ironic first or smart money than their dumb real dumb money Well, it's it's interesting that this these firings all came at the same time could just be sick You know financial end of year what we talked about there was also that That pot of money the Obama money from the government if true If trying up if true But I well if it was a combo deal if some of that money dried up We don't really have any proof that it went to them If that money dried up and by the way Canada is trying to do the same thing they're trying to split off 500 million dollarettes Amongst the media companies having secret meetings about it. It's very funny These guys should realize that when you get five hundred million bucks, and you give it to the media it all goes upstairs Yeah

59:56 I mean there was so much condemnation of Jeff Bezos, talking about Bezos again over his Washington Post ads on the Super Bowl. Oh they hated it! The journos hated it! Of course they did because its 10.5 million dollars he spent on this ad that was useless and they kept saying this $10.5 million could be 10 reporters at $100,000 a year for 10 years plus half a million dollars to buy donuts. They added that in huh? And it was and every because the journalists know that they're under stressed to get you know the very few

1:00:38 Newspapers are doing well, magazines are shrinking. Online there's no money in online you have to scam investors and it's all investment money it's not like real money that is coming from the public So they know that this is a problem to see Bezos throw away ten million dollars casually. Yeah, yeah them Yes all the old journalists were pissed off and also she watched in post people also these new journals should realize that Google and Facebook are out to get you They what they don't care about you And they change their algos and screw you over as fast as they can for your scam for your scam money Excellent well that gives us

No Agenda Social, Podcast App Recommendations

The hosts promote "No Agenda Social," a Mastodon-based instance in the Fediverse, as an alternative to centralized social media. They also recommend the Overcast podcast app for its support of independent developers and superior handling of podcast artwork. A discussion on the "value for value" model suggests users should pay for software they find useful rather than relying on free, data-mining platforms.

1:01:23 Hope. Well, we do everything on the up and up! We do in fact- We don't have...we don't worry about advertisers, we don't worry about page views, we don't worry about you know assignments because we don't go..we don't get income from that it's just bullcrap that those people should be ashamed of themselves Those people should learn to code Learn to code And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you The man who put the C in ComScore John Cena In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry in the morning all ships and sea boats on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and All that aims at nights out there in the morning to the troll room no agenda stream calm I wanted to mention that anybody who wants to join the Fediverse

1:02:10 I think saying Fediverse is better than Mastodon, neither of them are great. But if you want to join the future of social media You can do that at our very own noagendasocial.com You need an invite? Go to the troll room and i'm sure someone can give you an invite there And the troll room is something that we always have scrolling around In not the background kind of side view corner my eye during every live stream so that we can be corrected in real time and sometimes get some good one-liners. Sometimes it's just trolling, that's what they do their trolls. Noagendastream.com and thank you very much for that also in the morning to... The artist who brought us the artwork for episode 1110 title of that was Kremlin Crush

1:02:55 This was a nice piece. We had a hard time actually trying to figure out what we wanted to choose Sir Trent Wabus brought us the global warming fear meter which I believe we got from the evergreens Yes, it was back in the back It was now why did we have such a problem choosing art? What was it find any of it to be artsy or compelling appropriate? Can't really remember. I think we really liked the climate the climate fear-o-meter and we liked that a lot one else there that was Yeah, I mean we're not going to put Elizabeth Warren in the Pocahontas stuff. We're not putting pictures of Elizabeth Warren...I should mention a couple little tips for artists again. Yeah, tips here's some tips. We have lots of tips. This should be accumulated well there is one tip and it's not necessarily about Elizabeth Warren but it kind of applies

1:03:42 Do not put something that is unattractive and homely or ugly, or some like a gruesome... somebody with their head chopped off or somebody bleeding from the eyes. or any of these things that are just repellent. So when you look at the art, instead of wanting to click on it and go listen to the show if using it as a cover art, you don't want to get that reaction of does not want to happen after somebody sees your art. As artsy as it might be... The idea is for people to be lured in! Yeah, be lured in by a pretty face. Elizabeth Warren kind of qualifies as the not quite but almost like a repellent in terms of her face. She's not that... yeah sorry it's you know what can I say? I'm with you. So she's not gonna work out. Cortez is funny she's got a goofy face she's always gonna get it but I don't still want to see a bunch of politicians on the art necessarily No, not necessarily at all

1:04:46 But anyway, we appreciate the work that all of our artists do. It makes this show uniquely different just before you even listen to it. It shows up that way in the podcast apps. By the way I think we recommend Overcast is one that adheres to the artwork changing and even to some degree Apple's own podcast app but like I would recommend Overcast because you pay Marco, you pay him he makes it better You know, that seems like a value system there that makes sense. How much do you have to pay? I think it's two bucks. It's reasonable. Two bucks a show or two bucks... No just for the app! Just to get the app That's not bad. Nah, he should charge 20 people should pay him twenty bucks He should leave it open let people pay what they think it's worth but the Apple Store doesn't allow for that kind of grooviness

Executive Producer Donations, Season 11 Milestones

Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Selbuvia contributed $1,202 to the show, encouraging other listeners to move from "douchebag" status to active producers. The donation segment notes that the show is currently in its 11th season, a milestone shared by classic television programs like MASH and Cheers. The hosts express an ambition to reach the longevity of The Simpsons.

executive producer· donation· dogpatch· lower selbuvia· the simpsons

1:05:38 Yeah, they want all the money. Yeah! But you're making money off of us... I guess what i'm saying is in this world where we're going to see podcasts moving away from you can use them on any device it'll be any device that has Spotify on it as long as you have a spotify account now like if that's the world you want to live in fine I think it's better that we support our local independent software developers for stuff that works for everybody Just a thought. All right, well we do have a few people to thank and we have a few people that thank profusely. So this is show 1111, we have a bunch of people that actually joined the 11-11-11 club And curiously our number one donor today which is Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch in Lower Selbuvia came in with $1200 and two... $1200... $1202 Wow! And he's back

1:06:36 Yeah, he came back. He won it for this show specifically so it came in. He has one of his notes and no jingles, nothing. from Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch and Lower Silbovia. Thank you to all the producers, repeating my last letter, the album art, the jingles, the clips, the show notes with knowledge shared and the open discussion of topics avoided or specifically covered by The M5M continues to make this the best source of information available." And he's referring to The No Agenda Show. After hearing two shows without a traditional executive producer in January... Yes! Something I complained about. "...I'm admonishing those who can but don't

1:07:16 listeners that are douchebags. If you have time to listen, you have time to donate. In-kind producers remember that barter only goes so far in the real world cash is still king, so include some of that in your contributions to this show Congratulations to the two associate producers that were promoted to executive producers. Your commitment to the show in hard times is noticed and appreciated. To the wannabe executive producers, there are only 104 opportunities a season to be an executive producer of this highly desirable prime time show." This show has global reach and is heard by influential people around the world! Put your name- I like that. It's true.

1:08:00 Put your name in the executive producer lights for all to see. Important people will note that your support of real-world insight and perspective of such a noted and long running show I know no agenda uses show numbers but consider listing yourself as executive producer of season 11 episode 20 or whatever is appropriate, which is not a bad idea. I was just thinking about that good one! Yeah that's the way you would do it if you were on a TV show Yes, you're right Show number 111 is important to NOAgenda listeners but season number and episode number is more traditional in the mainstream world and may attract more attention in your bio

1:08:46 So we are on the eleven season i believe a season eleven and show show love him. I don't think so cuz season eleven began with the anniversary show, When it's at October, I believe. Oh okay now and so it would be counted from there so we'd have to... Sounds complicated. Yeah because you gotta count. Stop with your math Devorah! I can't handle this too much. It's too much. Shows that ended after 11 seasons include MASH, Cheers, Frasier, Married With Children Happy Days Murphy Brown and The Jeffersons

1:09:25 Strong producer support will keep this show going on beyond 11 long beyond 11 seasons. We're shooting for the Simpsons Just what 30 season 30 stories family guy Yeah, we're shooting for that in JNK thank you very much sir Animas of dog patch and lower slow bovia I'm glad you're okay glad your family's okay it seems at least and Thank you very much. You always drop by the right moment and and humble us It's appreciated. Yes, and he has good little lectures too and good ideas Jordan Goodfellow comes in with 111 dollars eleven cents or thousand one thousand one hundred Eleven and eleven cents in Arvada Colorado And he becomes a member of the 1-1-1-1 club We're gonna probably put we should put anonymous in there just gratuitous Oh I think so yeah With show 1-1-1-1 following on the day before my birthday that is on the 11th

Producer Notes, AV Rentals and Family Health

Jordan Goodfellow donated $1,111.11 to promote his AV rental website, GigRent.com. Another anonymous donor shared a personal story about welcoming twins with a genetic condition linked to autism, noting that the podcast provides a sense of calm during stressful times. The hosts observe that their audience includes a high concentration of teachers, engineers, and members of the intelligence community.

1:10:20 I could not pass up such a great opportunity to support the best source of actual news and media deconstruction in the universe. Thanks for making sure I don't go insane and really can sleep soundly knowing that the world isn't without, about to end in some sort of spontaneous combustion." A quick PSA, empty out the PayPal account you freeloaders. This show is our sanity and it's only maintained with your help also any tips on ways to remember more of the info that is shared on the show? It's tough to remember all the good stuff when its really needed

1:10:57 If I may request a random Sharpton clip followed by a Jobs goat karma for our revamped website gigrent.com launching in late March, it's sure to be a success with your help! I'm looking at it now, Gig Rent so you rent... oh okay this is uh what is it? It's uh you can rent gear for gigs everything from Projectors to special projection lenses, video mixers audio mixers I guess they might have what else? Huh yeah if you okay the digital recorder signal. Yeah this is it this is for big... It's an AV operation. Yeah big big AV gigs nice nice website I like it

1:11:44 Very nice. Well, thank you Jordan. Thank you very much and yeah of course we'd love to give you a Jobs Goat Karma. Now we have another $1,111.11 donation from Anonymous and it says see email for donation note now I want to mention that uh it's kind of hard to look up the email for someone named anonymous because they actually have an email address luckily I looked up by did a subject search for donation mm-hmm and there was their

1:12:33 Okay, so if you're gonna do this kind of thing I'm just telling the producers. You got to give us a little info So we know how to look at put donation for such-and-such and put the amount in the subject line And then I'll look up donation that way I can isolate the note rather quickly which I did in this case when I got lucky Okay, no jingles. No karma, so don't worry about that anonymous donation A little background on me, I seem to check many of the boxes that other producers check. i.e., dude named Ben, amateur radio operator, marine, NRA instructor, scout leader... Oh my god! Is he transgendered? Because then he's just in pocket.

1:13:20 Interesting that so many have similar interests. That's true, let me see it go... Dude named Ben amateur radio operator marine NRA instructor scout leader damn we also have a lot of well you have teachers he's an instructor we have teachers we have a dentist Eagle Scouts we have a lot of educators We do have a lot of people in the intelligence community but they don't normally brag about anything Not much Life has been a little bit crazy of late. We recently welcomed twin human resources to our family, shortly after birth we learned that they have a genetic condition that is one of the few known genetic causes of autism or at minimum they will likely be learning, have learning disabilities as news has had our heads spinning a bit and were finally slowing down and settling into a groove with them through it all Noah Jenna show's helped keep my mind in check

Media Stress, CNN Anchors and Playback Speeds

The physical toll of reporting constant negative news is observed in the appearance of certain CNN anchors, who are described as looking "worn down." A listener note discusses the benefits of switching from 1.5x playback speed to 1x, arguing that the slower pace reduces stress and allows for better appreciation of the show's nuances.

cnn· stress· amygdala· playback speed· bloomberg

1:14:16 There is something calming about the show that, you know talking about this let me interrupt again. It's gonna be a long segment anyway um there was there's I'm not even going to mention her name but she's a person i've known for quite a while she's always been an anchor or co-anchor she's been on various shows. Oh I know exactly what you mean in Los Angeles? Got it well actually this is the one back that wasn't in Atlanta okay New York all right we went to Los Angeles is different but I would say kind of applies to her too But she's now got a new gig on CNN and because she is in that environment where you just don't, you're just getting the same horrible. The president is going to get impeached with countries falling apart. Global warming is gonna kill us tomorrow we are all gonna be dead in 12 years. It is starting to show I'm surprised it hasn't already. Is she looking sick? Is she looking ill? It's starting to show on her face yeah Wow

1:15:11 I feel bad now. I feel really bad, yeah that's what happened. I see the same thing about the woman in Los Angeles that you're referring to. Yeah oh wow and she's so beautiful It's like, you know it's just you can just see him being worn down. Worn down. Yeah. What are you gonna do? I mean there is nothing that you can do. You gotta be in the environment. If the people who are reporting... if the people on cable news keep reporting about Trump and 2020 for the next two years they may not see the 2020 election except from an IV in a hospital bed! That's not going to be good. Salt drip. Saline

1:15:51 Onward anyway, yes through it all the no agenda shows help keep my mind in check There is something calming about the show that seems to bring peace of mind Interestingly recently I've been around TVs and public areas that they're playing the m5m They have that complete opposite effect of no agenda The M 5m definitely exists to keep us in an emotionally heightened state That can't be healthy for anyone's amygdala. I know I would like to change my designation from Sir Benonymous, oh this is Sir Benonymous. Okay of the 1.5x playback to Dreebscott of the EIB Express. No no sir Drebscott of the ELB express. ELB express sorry. I don't know what that means? I don't know he knows yeah good

1:16:46 I'm not very creative, so this will have to do for now. I've seen the error of my ways! I used to roll my eyes when you guys had concerns with people listening at faster speeds. Well, I still listen to some tech podcasts at higher speed. I will no longer be doing that for The No Agenda Show. There ya go... The calmness I feel listening to the show at regular speed is heightened by slowing back down. Yeah, I would however caution slowing the show down to half-speed as it makes you both sound completely drunk." No no we're just drunk! There's nothing wrong. I'd like to commend you both on the high quality show you produce each week...I was thinking about that today by the way...listening to it do a 1x speed has helped me to hear

1:17:31 nuances I missed before. It also helps John's recorder playing as at 1.5x it sounded completely spastic I know, I started with NJNK but if John is willing and I'd like to hear him in his best droopy dog impression say Bloomberg, Bloomberg, Bloomberg. I've heard him do this in the past but it seems to get missed thanks for all the great media deconstruction. Well you know- 73's by the way. 73's, I've always said

Donation Segment, Dutch Dog Names and Clip of the Day

A series of donations includes a request for a Dutch dog name for a Stabahound, a breed originating from the Friesland province. The host suggests the name "Fickie," describing it as the Dutch equivalent of "Fido." The segment also features a "Clip of the Day" jingle requested by a donor who contributed $700 to challenge a previous host prediction.

1:18:10 If you want to listen to us at 1.5 speed or whatever it is, that's fine but I feel that you do miss some of the magic of the show We sometimes don't say anything because we're thinking there is a pause and its intentional And personally I think thats kind of beautiful It gives you a moment to slow down Life is already quite fast in your face But to each his own of course I'd say yes, thank you very much sir Dreb Scott of the ELB Express your support is very much appreciated all right J Y sir taxed at the anonymous accountant in San Francisco one one one one will dot 1-1 write this is you have this This is the anonymous gay isn't it?

1:18:52 Is it? I think so. Well, I don't have a note that i can see... Yeah, I sent this to Eric and then I said specifically... He says he has the note you should send it to me if I have the note Yes, you know the guy has asked me so specifically enough to make sure that we That we do his donation of course now. I can't find it that quickly because I thought it would be okay Well once you wait is what your past cuz again another similar Okay You do that and I'm gonna I'm gonna look for cuz I know where those Johnson $111 at one thousand one hundred eleven dollars in Tempe Arizona Congratulations on reaching the milestone of a hundred and one thousand 111 shows for some reason I have difficulty saying that

1:19:42 I'm convinced you have the best podcast in the universe and thank you Adam and John for all your hard work. Whoops, sorry. For all your hard work. And also thank all of the other producers who make this show possible. I've really enjoyed listening to your outstanding shows and consider you The Button on the cap of media analysis and deconstruction. The button on the cap, hopefully this donation will make up for years of douchebaggery on my part yeah I think so would appreciate a de-douching and some job karma in any jingle combination of your choice you've been dedouched jobs jobs jobs and jobs let's vote for jobs

1:20:28 And I got the note here from sir taxed the anonymous accountant Do I get a no agenda night ring package? I Don't think I asked for that with my last insta Baron donation also, I picked a name before and I would like to petition the peerage committee for A change to a here you go. Sir taxed the anonymous accountants. So yes changed the name that's official I think we're okay with that Before playing my requested jingle, which I don't see here... ...I ask that NOAA General listeners take a moment to close their eyes and think about the value that the show brings to them. Please play... devorak.org slash N-A I do have this note! This show along with 10 minutes of daily meditation has kept my amygdala small

1:21:18 Thank you for your courage, Sir Tax the Anonymous Accountant. Thank you very much Sir Tax, that is appreciated. Michael Sosnin $700. Adam and John hit in the mouth little over five years ago by long overboard co-worker. Thank you for ongoing mental hygiene I've historically donated about a thousand dollars as a birthday present to myself. I have taken 48 trips around the world on Friday the 9th That's a lot. Yeah, well is that just yeah but is that around the world or just 48 cumulative miles that would amount to 48? Please add because I've taken a lot of trips around the world you're gonna do that...I've never actually taken a trip around the world where you just decide you're gonna go all the way around from you leave San Francisco and you come back all the way around through China. No no not can't say as I have

1:22:13 Please add me to the birthday list. This year I could not resist a chance of proving John wrong, thank you! On show 1107 he made a very specific prediction and immediately thought to myself challenge accepted To accomplish this feat, I had to reduce my annual... whoops. Sorry! To accomplish this feat, I had to reduce my annual donation to exactly $700 so I request that you'd play the clip of the day jingle something John claimed would never happen again This was the 700 donation which apparently allows you to claim a clip as Clip Of The Day He's taken it to a new level

1:22:57 He's saying, here's the amount just to play the jingle. I like it! But you hated it? No, I hated someone... no the idea was that the listener could determine, the producers could determine what the clip of the day was not just a clip of the day. Jingle would say oh that clip that you played then that was actually clip of the day Ah yes, I think that's right. I'm pretty sure because it irked me so I remember. And I think you're right and that's what really irked you Before I go on, I have a humble request for dog lover Adam. My wife and I are in final negotiations with our four young human resources on acquiring a puppy of all the possible options they have landed on a Stabahound which originated from the Friesland province in the Netherlands. Adam what if anything do you know about this breed? Can you make my authentic Dutch dog name recommendation please thank you again for keeping us all sane Viscount sir

1:24:02 Snodges of the swans is onesies onesie. It's one e all the stabby hounds money or stop by which would mean stand I guess they're like a pointer Super West Frisian, you know we have Frisian producers who could tell me more about it? I don't know anything about it But you know, it's always nice to have a fifth fifth resource in your house pooping everywhere You already got four of them why not add another that's great still they'll love it Boys and girls need little doggy puppies. Makes their life more interesting They get to pick up all kinds of diseases they wouldn't normally get It protects them from the outside world, it's very good Alright I'm gonna play clip of the day first You gotta give him a name for this, a good Dutch name No he says can you tell us about the breed? Can you make any authentic Dutch... Oh dog name! Oh okay, oh I'm sorry yes Fickie

1:25:06 Ficky f I k ki e Fickie. Thank you. Here's a mean it's kind of like Fido hey, Vicki Hey, Vicki no it isn't yes It's the Dutch version what it means No, its Vicki. I'm telling you Vicki is it is the most typical dutch dog name Vicki? FI KK ie Vicki come here Vicki means something different in German but still oh But that is a Dutch dog name. Ficke and maybe, what else was it? Ficke... It means something else in German you can look that up yourself but I think it was probably developed as some sort of comment on the Germans. It could be! I don't know the etymology of Ficke but that is the Dutch Fido. Ficke is Fido. Joseph Finley $444

I would also like an F cancer karma for my beloved uncle Leo who is diagnosed with the dreaded C word. You should be aware that Dame Isabella regularly sings the Dvorak dot org jingle and has been dispensing karma on her Catholic school playground where they probably prefer to hear Do hail Marys.

A donor serving on a non-profit board in Pasadena, California, reports that a major telecom company offered a $7,500 donation in exchange for the board advocating for 5G technology to city council members. The donor also promotes SalesInsider.io, a job marketplace for software sales representatives. Listeners are encouraged to revisit Show 1092, cited as one of the program's best productions.

1:33:04 Congratulations on reaching show 1111. Your insight and news deconstruction are a valuable resource, and I'm here to return some of the value as a douchebag for far too long and would like a de-douching." You've been dedouched! I love hitting people in the mouth with the connections you find and the insights you provide. I am currently waiting to win a bet with a coworker when Hillary announces that she's running for president. Oh there is easy money Whether it's Adams' legislation analysis, John's whipsaw dissections, identifying the work of the Lear Foundation or researching the corporate leadership of an NGO. It all works together to make Noah Jenner The Best podcast in the universe. The 366.63 donation is 1111 times 33! Nice. That was a good one. I thought it had a nice ring to it and also thank you

1:34:00 Robert for sending me. He sent a couple of clips from the Lear Foundation stuff, which don't forget to today but it's appreciated and I know it's him because I can see he spelled at the same way Thank you! I appreciate it. Yeah you spelled with drool coming out your mouth yeah I'm gonna give him some karma here just extra You've got karma Okay Isaac Baron of Altadena 366 dot 3 dot 6 3 Again, same thing. Same thing! What a coincidence... In my tradition of donating to 666-777-888-999 I miss 1010. I'm making this donation for the 1111 show via PayPal 1111 x 33366.63 First of all i want to call out Bob Hulsey as a douchebag and then have 5G story. I serve on the board of local nonprofit here in Pasadena that is focused on innovation design and entrepreneurship in the area

1:35:01 Towards the end of 2018, we received a random $7500 donation sponsorship from one of the big four telecom companies. As a non-profit, we are grateful and set up a meeting to talk about how they can participate in and be active in our nonprofit. Well, in the meeting they were asking us if we'd openly advocate for 5G in Pasadena. Really? If we'd host an event about 5G and could introduce them Council members and employees at Pasadena City Hall. Can you imagine, he continues...

A producer and Freemason discusses "The Holy Gift," a hidden version of the Tool album *Lateralus* created by rearranging tracks according to the Fibonacci sequence.

I'm a Mason. I am also a Rosicruci- woo... Rosicrution. Just as importantly, I am no agenda producer who will attain my knighthood in due time. That's cool we got these in all the clubs

1:46:04 I would like to put this out there. There's an album by John's favorite band, Tool... You'll find that there's a hidden album that can be found by rearranging the tracks of Lateralus by the Fibonacci sequence to create a more perfectly harmonizing album known as The Holy Gift. I've heard this! The track order tells a different story than the factory produced one, a story that tells of present moment based living and consciousness expansion as well as holistic living in harmony with other humans and even spirits I'm writing a book, which apparently you've sent as your donation. Oh that's right! I wanted to read this letter but i wanted you to have queued up the theremin. Play it at your leisure! Well he's writing a book apparently has already sent us the first chapter in the donation note

1:46:51 I'm writing a book inspired by the holy gift which i am working in to a sacred text that I intend to be used at the visionary artist Alex and Allison Gray's Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York. Wow! Part of what keeps me happy and sane on my path of such monumental task is the fact that the NOAHgender show, your balanced look at heavily skewed media does wonders for the soul So thank you both and all the Knights and dames out there as well as the myriad producers for helping to make my writing of this book in Inevitability, and as a tool to help humanity I'd like to give out a shout-out to dark journalist and Olivia of the X series which you can catch on YouTube most Friday evenings They're doing the lion's share of cutting edge work on the UFO files and secret technology right up there in quality with Giza Death Star And dr.

Jill Abramson Book Controversy, Footnote Errors

Former New York Times executive editor Jill Abramson addressed allegations of plagiarism in her book *Merchants of Truth* during interviews on Fox News and NPR. While she initially denied the claims, she later conceded that some passages regarding Vice News were "too close for comfort" and lacked proper citations. Abramson attributed the errors to faulty footnoting and promised to correct the text in future editions.

1:56:49 The support goes to... Dvorak.org slash N-A Okay, I know we got a formula go out there propagate Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Shut up, Sleep! Not a classic Hillary barking Now there was something that we were going to talk about that i had a clip of Yeah, we were talking about Jill Abramson's plagiarism accusations Oh yes, I have two clips Let's do a background now that mentions she did this book recently which slammed the New York Times.

1:57:34 and a bunch of other journalists, and the whole situation. And then somebody found some... Well okay so... ...lifted material in the book and I have some thoughts on this. Alright here's two clips because this is a book slamming media and apparently also slamming some left media Jill Abrams former New York Times editor Felt it was appropriate Abrams or Abrams. It's Abrams a no, it's Abramson I'm sorry. It's okay good Abramson Yeah, I believe so Abrams Abrams Abrams Jill the Hummer the Berkeley hummer she went on Fox with Martha McCullum mistake mistake You know I certainly didn't plagiarize and my book is

1:58:25 and you know there are 70 pages of footnotes showing where I got the information. So do you think that it's possible that some of these are just not, they're incorrectly footnoted perhaps? This one Lizzie Whitacombe, the bad boy brand The New Yorker talks about Shorinsky told wire that he doesn't remember reading the article and that his investment was a few hundred thousand dollars and then the next paragraph from your book is essentially Essentially the same. Do you think this is a footnote issue? No, I don't think it's an issue at all So you're standing by your work 100% and I ask you because he's been going on, for the past 20 minutes. Well many people from Vice have been taking issue with the book it seems... And why is that?

1:59:16 I think they don't like the portrayal of vice, although i think it's a very balanced portrait and I have a lot of praise for some of their journalists and some of their stories. So I like their fresh approach to news. Oh...so you're on the record as saying that there is absolutely nothing in here that you have any problem with? I haven't had it yet. Then take a look at them Have another clip of her on NPR. Do you want to make your comments first? No, no I want to hear more of her Talking okay see and devotion to the truth. Let me just start that one over When she's The humming part she only really does the vocal fry when she's really relaxed

2:00:01 When she's not when she's animated it doesn't drag out as long I think this is NPR so you get to talk a little slower Accuracy and devotion to the truth are so important to me, and I take all of these allegations of inaccuracy and plagiarism very seriously. When I found the allegations have merit, I've moved very quickly to correct everything." Abramson noted that the passages being questioned are about Vice News and conceded that they do raise questions

2:00:42 I've looked at them, and in several of these cases the language is too close for comfort and should have been specifically cited in the footnotes correctly. And I'll explain to you why they weren't or put in quotations in the book. And what is the problem here is that though I did cite these publications and tried to credit everybody perfectly, you know, I fell short.

2:01:22 And in the cases that Michael Moynihan cited, there isn't the correct page number for the credited citation. I'm going to fix those pronto." What I like about this is that No one in the audience gives a rat's ass about the story, about the shit you're saying. The footnotes... no one cares! This is so inside baseball and they can't get enough of themselves. And it's horrible for the audience I'm sad we even played it really

Ghostwriting, Dictionary Copyrights and Glossary Licenses

A discussion on the mechanics of the publishing industry suggests that high-profile authors often use ghostwriters who may inadvertently plagiarize material. An interesting legal detail is revealed: dictionaries are copyrighted, meaning new word definitions must be rewritten to avoid infringement. The segment explains that minor plagiarism claims are often settled quietly through small licensing fees paid by agents or publishers.

ghostwriting· copyright law· dictionaries· oxford english dictionary· plagiarism

2:02:05 I'm never sad to listen to her. Well, she didn't if she had done better. She could have done better yes well let's talk just want to talk about a few things because these accusations are flying and i can do a little insight this is for a journo for a lib joe to be accused of any kind of plagiarism it's great is a huge issue it sticks with you for a long time so here's what i think really happened i wonder if she wrote the book Of course. What am I even thinking? Yes, uh-huh this that I say that because I had an agent a very famous agent in New York This is 20 years ago lefty and he yeah And he put to some book out some philosophical book out and he got busted for plagiarism It turns out he didn't even write the book. He had John. He's a writer and

2:02:59 But a lot of writers don't necessarily write something when they don't have time. How do I get in on that? How can we do a podcast where someone else does the actual podcasts you got to find two good mimics, okay? Get Callie endo on here anyway So and then he just had to pull the book off the market. He was pissed because of this guy, He was just really Just sloppy now the stuff that they were showing McCallum was showing was definitely plagiarism There's no doubt about it was just lifted And the reason she has all these footnotes is because this is what you do when you job your something out. You want them to make sure, I want you to document it because I don't want to get busted for something. So that's why the book is over-footnoted cause you don't normally write that way! I mean you write some footnotes...You're not Arnold Toynbee. You don't really have to do a lot of footnotes in some sort of an expressive way

2:03:53 Book about how you hate the media or the journalism is sucky And so I think that's what happened now. The other thing does not discuss because again, I don't know why But these moments of one or two paragraph plagiarisms are Generally just paid off it's a payoff deal. That's someone calls you up and says hey yo You pillage rise my shit give me some money They do it through the agents. Really? I didn't realize this. Oh, that's an inside info. That is an accusation of plagiarism if the agent or book publisher looks at it and says yeah how much money you want and usually between

2:04:36 Let me guess. It's usually around 100, 200 bucks I was gonna say no more than 500 No it's very rarely that much it's just a little bit...I had this problem with one of my telecom books in a definition the glossary there was some definition that was put in there and it was too close to somebody else's write-up and people another thing people don't realize is dictionaries are copyrighted God, John I'm learning a lot today. I did not know this. You're pooh-poohing this whole... No! I'm pooh-pooing... no This is interesting Hello we're the best podcast in the universe what part of best did you not get? Now dictionaries are copyrighted and people don't realize that so when you define, that's why you want to get those new words in as fast as you can because you get the right the first definition everybody else and all the other dictionary is like ah! That son of a bitch I have to... And so you have to read you know we have to read Wait wait wait. So it's an actual definition of a word if if we were to create the no agenda dictionary well yeah it would be very different but couldn't

2:05:37 Take the just description say this is what that means you have to write it a little differently Wow Yeah, all dictionaries. That's why you look at ten different definitions from ten dictionaries And they'll all be a little different except for maybe some some reference to the past that Because if if it was public domain for example an old definition from the 1600s oh man You're just blowing my mind hold on a second so dictionaries are really They're really... they're not defining, they're not proof. They are just documentary evidence of language

CHAPTER 33 / 49 Discussion

Public Domain Definitions, Media Resentment

The hosts explain that while modern dictionaries are protected by copyright, older editions like a 100-year-old Oxford English Dictionary are in the public domain and can be used freely. The Jill Abramson controversy is framed as a case of media peers "hounding" her due to personal resentment rather than a major ethical breach. The analysis posits that the internet itself is a "copy machine" built on technical copyright violations.

public domain· linguistics· jill abramson· media analysis· copyright

2:06:17 So a dictionary is not really an authority, it's an interpretation. The older the dictionary the better chance you have of getting a very focused definition that Oxford English Dictionary would be a good example but if the definition has fallen into public domain because it's like 100 years old So you can take a hundred year old Oxford English dictionary, go buy one there around and then you could just steal all the definitions from that. You're good to go because that's all public domain. Got it got it but if you've got a new word coming up like bonehead or you want to be the first 5g

2:06:55 You gotta jump on that right away and write your own definition. And what these dictionary companies do, they have a lot of research that goes on and they have all the other dictionaries and they check... It's not easy to do it. Can I ask you a question? Could we then for instance, I saw the Jamoak and Jabroni all these have started showing up in more popular dictionaries that we reference on this show could we do a no agenda No Agenda Dictionary just has words and definitions in there that we've used on the show. Publish it as a Jimlet or whatever, Jiblet so that we can then sue the dictionaries when they steal our stuff?

2:07:33 Well, it's not a matter of suit. That's my next point which is yeah if you took the whole dictionary and publish it sure that would be a problem but what to go back to my anecdote definition in my glossary that was from something else and it seemed to be pretty close and so I think I had to pay like 75 bucks as far as goes well that's not too bad So you give him the 75 bucks, which is the license. You're basically now 75 bucks is for a lifetime Yeah lifetime license to use that in that book and I can't do it again No But in that book it would be 75 so you pay then that's what this situation with Jill's little love plagiaristic paragraph Okay, so that's something very different oh my goodness so that would have been I looked at that graph and when she wrote And she seems to me

2:08:31 That that was probably a hundred bucks, maybe 150 to get them to say just... I mean the embarrassment is still there and the whole book may be riddled with this stuff which is what happened with my agent's book. He had to pull it off the market because it was riddled cause that guy who actually wrote the book was just stealing everything and he didn't know any better And I think, by the way with today's youngsters who aren't taught anything they don't know anything. They probably don't see it as wrong! You're always taking a risk when you're hiring these kids. Yeah they did they didn't understand the true concept of copyright and plagiarism probably

2:09:08 It's it's you know the internet is based on copying in just that's what it is a copy machine. Yeah everything you do yeah, it's a copy you send me an email violation yeah machine That's right copyright violation swamp that the Internet is literally based on copying Data from one point to the other yep Wow it's not like you brought down that web page and now the servers empty oh Uh-uh. Yes, exactly so I thought these things needed clarification because... Thank you that's very good! ...I think she's being un... I mean they like to hound her or i think that's funny it's just there's humor in it and well Fox likes to go after but I think is unjustified let's put it that way from a honest if you're gonna be honest about it Well thank you for clarifying that You will not hear that analysis anywhere everyone was just guffawing and sniffling like me

2:10:03 Now we know exactly what... So it really is that they just hate her, they hate that she did anything even slightly negative and they just jump on her but its really Miranoka. Yeah its not a big deal. Alright got it. Got it. Hmm alright so that clears that up now you know. Grammys! Tonight are the Grammy's And so there's been some pre-Grammy controversy, as we always like to do. We always have to have some controversy going on this is something that kind of slipped by the radar but it wasn't until I did a typical no agenda look up

21 Savage Arrest, ICE and Rap Lyrics

Rapper 21 Savage, born Sheyaa Bin Abraham-Joseph, was arrested by ICE in Atlanta for overstaying a UK visa from 2005. The arrest followed his televised criticism of the Trump administration's immigration policies. While his legal team, bolstered by Jay-Z, argues for his release based on community ties, the segment contrasts his public image with violent themes found in his song lyrics.

21 savage· ice· immigration· jay-z· atlanta

2:10:47 To figure out, you know just if it was worth bringing to the show. This is about the arrest of 21 Savage Have you read anything about? I didn't look into it and I didn't pay much attention so joy Reed Thought it was very important because this is horrible this you know, there's an immigrant He's in he's an illegal immigrant that has been arrested and just horrible and bring the lawyer on, white guy lawyer. And I cut down like an eight minute segments to a minute-and-a-half just to give you... Is there any background on this? Because you know I don't think anyone knows what we're talking about Well the clip is the background 21 Savage is an artist he's a performer from Atlanta He was arrested by ICE

2:11:28 Because he's here illegally just days after delivering that stinging critique of Trump's immigration. Oh, I'm sorry I needed to Needed to connect it to something I guess you went on the tonight show or I don't know which which late-night show we went on and bitched and moaned about the Immigration system while being any legal immigrant in the United States They picked him up Just days after delivering that stinging critique of Trump's immigration policies, not to mention the Flint water crisis on The Tonight Show. Grammy nominated rapper 21 Savage was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement authorities on Super Bowl Sunday in Atlanta

2:12:07 According to ICE, the rapper whose real name is Shia Bin Abraham Joseph is a UK citizen who overstayed his visa and has a felony drug conviction. But his lawyers dispute that they say Savage's family overstayed their work visas and he was left without legal status like nearly 2 million other migrants who came to the US as children Joseph has lived in Atlanta since entering the US at the age of 7, but now faces possible deportation. Joining me now is his attorney Charles Koch. Now before we get into Charles the attorney I just wanted to mention...I'm familiar with this exact situation as a friend of mine her husband who was here illegally I knew about it actually helped her get legal

2:12:53 He had to wait another year before he could claim his whatever status it was forget exactly what it is but he got pulled over because of a temporary license plate and They the procedure is as follows. I know the procedure because it just happened a couple months ago They arrest you in this case they take you down to San Antonio You sit there for a week, you wait until you get an immigration lawyer then you have to post an immigration bond which is anywhere between seven and ten thousand dollars and they will hold on to that for the next two years. You have to keep out of trouble, don't get arrested no DUIs, no jaywalking and then you will get a resident status

2:13:33 And so it's actually, I was quite amazed the system kind of worked. Is that you know the judge listened to his case he's been here 20 plus years and said okay you got family here you got kids born here i'm not going to send you back but you get two years probation and you gotta pay this bond. So everyone goes through that. I have to say as again I was pleasantly surprised at oh apparently there are some people in the immigration system who have compassion and think about what do we do with this guy? So this is the same situation, overstayed visa. Been here for a long time. Thank you very much for being here we know now that Jay-Z has hired added to your legal team a gentleman named Alex Spiro is now part of the defense team with you guys and he has said that the goal is now to get him out of detention what's the status of that effort?

2:14:21 Well, that's why we've been relatively quiet this week. We released a couple of statements just to clarify some of the facts that have been misreported in the press because of ICE statements to the press when he was detained but this week we've been working behind-the-scenes with ICE providing them with information about The fact that he has no conviction providing them with information that he has remarkable ties to the community He works with the police. He works with local prosecutors to get rid of gun violence, to encourage kids not to get into gangs. We've got letters from congressmen that have come forward and we thought we had an opportunity to get him out just on ice letting him go. And so we will now go to immigration court. Immigration court is a not like real courts. We have to go through a process to get in front of an immigration judge and ask that immigration judge for a bond in his case unlike real courts in which you'd hear 30

2:15:12 24 to 48 hours later, it will take a week or so to get in front of those judges uh... to get him a bond. So they just go on and on ohhh its so horrible he's in jail, I still post the bond all this after the guy went on TV bitched about immigration time code okay but here is the thing who are we really talking about Trump. No, let me just this guy he's worked with the local community and everything He's a good guys is a good kid. He's got his white lawyers and everything Let me just read some of 21 savages lyrics

2:15:50 I'd buy a new car for the bitch. I tear down the mall with the bitch You can't even talk to the bitch, she fucking with bosses and shit! I be Gucci-down you wearing Lacoste and shit Yeah Moncler yeah fur came off of bear Got them tennis chains on they real blingy Draco make you do the chicken head like Chingy Walk in Neiman Marcus I spend a life fitty 7500 San Laurent jacket yeah It's all like fuckin bitches... Guccis Oh here we go dog yeah no dog yeah for real straight up out the six now got a house in the hills dawg wanna see your body nigga get you killed dawg wanna tweet about me nigga get you killed dawg kill dawg this is what we're arguing about? This upstanding citizen. Get out of town Joy Reed and look at any of his lyrics that's what it is, thats what it is and here we are

2:16:43 Meanwhile, this poor sap who got suckered into construction two decades ago when it was all cool to come across the border. He gets the same treatment. Jeez! I get a little worked up about these... That was good. ...figureheads of the community. We start reading more rap lyrics when we talk about these guys. Alrighty then. It's pretty hateful What, his lyrics? Yeah. Well there's a lot of hate about America I'm gonna lead you into your clips because i saw you got them very curious um AOC was she done a number of interviews and like I know you have a couple so I'm curious well I have the one clip that I had the whole clip

CHAPTER 35 / 49 Discussion

Green New Deal Resolution, FAQ Confusion

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ed Markey introduced the Green New Deal as a non-binding resolution rather than a bill. Confusion arose after an "FAQ" document was released and then retracted, which contained controversial points about "farting cows" and economic security for those "unwilling to work." The segment argues that the actual resolution is a vague "hippy-dippy" document that the media and politicians are using for positioning.

green new deal· alexandria ocasio-cortez· ed markey· tucker carlson· resolution

2:17:32 At least I have most of it. But, I was noticing especially that starts right away with clip one where she makes this stupid commentary and i will tell you this is what I liked about this stuff now just like well I don't know who's whose clip this is originally but it's not the best but She went out and talked about the Green New Deal with a bunch of white, old white men stooges behind her nodding their heads. And she's going on and on with her bull crap because she's full of it. The thing is that this good stuff which is in this first clip Democracy Now!, CBS, all these guys from the most lefty Democracy Now! to everybody in between

2:18:17 Maybe Fox didn't play it. I'm sure Fox did play it, I'd be surprised if they didn't They all assiduously avoided this little thing that's right in this particular clip You'll hear it in there and you go what is she talking about? incredibly excited that we are going to transition this country into the future and we are not gonna be dragged behind by our past. I'm so excited by that, i think that today is not just a big day for us as a delegation us as a party us as movement but this is a big day for activists all over the country and for frontline communities all

2:18:57 over the country. Today is a big day for people who have been left behind, today is a big day for workers in Appalachia, today's a big day for children that have been breathing dirty air in the South Bronx, today is a really good day for families who have been enduring the injustices of drinking dirty water or who have seen seen their living rooms being flooded in with the waves of rising sea levels. Wait, I want one of those families on the show hold on a second... The sea levels? What?!

2:19:41 Flooded their front rooms are flooded with the rising sea levels These poor people before you continue Just so we understand what happened with this the launch of this Green New Deal Was a little confusing first of all, we read the original Green New Deal Before she was even Before she was sworn into office, it's been on her website. But now we have a new Green New Deal. Yeah it's new! And the new Green New Deal is an actual... Now it's not law or bill, its resolution.

2:20:16 And the resolution itself, this is like if we watch C-SPAN all time resolution. I resolve to call the post office in Berkeley California. Oh no it's not even like that! It's like the United Nations crap. We resolve...it starts with agreements We agree that climate change is real. We agree that we have to keep temperatures at 1.5 degrees in the next 10 years, therefore we resolve that! We will do our best to write laws and stuff to make that happen." So it's a resolution which there is no law nothing... I haven't heard anyone say that properly really but the thing that happened was they released an FAQ or Frequently Asked Questions

2:21:02 And it immediately got doctored, redistributed put in farting cows. There's all the stuff about we need to have people who will need to be able to pay for people who are unable to work or unwilling to work whether it was original or doctorate or not and that everyone included Tucker Carlson is like, bruh this is what it says Just look at the actual document, the resolution is a bunch of yippie hippy dippy shit that doesn't make any difference. It's just positioning something and it doesn't say anything about the farting cows or paying people who are unwilling to work none of that is in there

2:21:45 So you've all been had. Or the piss recycling. None of that is in there, but the internet just went blah! And then the machine it's exactly what happened. The machine went nuts over it but it was all about the FAKN. You could see You can see like these different copies floating around. Well the joke of it though is that this little moment of her kind of stammering and talking about people's front rooms being flooded by rising global tides... Makes it better! It makes it better, but it's like why wasn't anybody talking about this? Well I have an answer to this

CHAPTER 36 / 49 Discussion

Climate Justice, Racial Wealth Gap and Inequity

The Green New Deal is analyzed as a vehicle for social and racial justice rather than just environmental policy. Senator Ed Markey is heard linking climate change to wealth inequality and the "pollution of democracy" by big oil. The hosts argue that the political establishment is attempting to create an undeniable link between global warming and social inequity to mobilize voters.

climate change· social justice· racial wealth gap· ed markey· alexandria ocasio-cortez

2:22:24 Well, there's a clip. Yeah why don't you play... what is the next clip? The next clip is the rest of her little spiel to almost the rest of it and which has got more weird junk in and then I have the third clip as Markie coming out with a crazy... You can maybe talk after she does because Markie comes on next! And he says the stupidest thing I've ever heard ever at least for the last couple weeks Never in our history No no no, don't play that yet! You said NEXT Okay, which one I'm playing the AC part 2 ramble rising sea levels and today? I think is a really big day for our economy the labor movement the social justice movement indigenous peoples and people all over the United States of America by the way that is in the resolution it states

2:23:10 that solving the issues of the day with climate change will result in more equity and all that crap. So, that's why she says this. By the way what you just said is really becomes to the fore with Markey and it's like they're making a so... They're on their warpath to quote Elizabeth Warren phrase. They are on the warpath to making a connection between global warming and injustice. Inequity, I think is the term. Well they also ingest it the whole yeah inequity for sure rising sea levels and today i think is a really big day for our economy the labor movement the social justice movement indigenous peoples and people all over the united states of america

2:24:01 Because today is the day that we truly embark on a comprehensive agenda of economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America. That's what this agenda is all about because climate change, climate change and our environmental challenges are one of the biggest existential threats to our way of life, not just as a nation but as a world. And in order for us to combat that threat we must be as ambitious and innovative in our solution as possible. So what we are doing today, and introducing these resolutions here today is that it's not a bill it is a resolution and what this resolution is doing is saying this is our first step our first step is to define the problem and define the scope of the solution and so we're here to say that small

2:25:00 incremental policy solutions are not enough. They can be part of a solution, but they are not the solution unto itself. There is no justice and there is no combating climate change without addressing what has happened to indigenous communities That means that there is no fixing our economy without addressing the racial wealth gap. That means that we are not going to transition to renewable energies without also transitioning frontline communities and coal communities into economic opportunity as well. Hmm, alright!

2:25:39 Now, if you want to give your little analysis but I do have one little clip a three second clip to play as a potential ISO for the end of the show. What does the Ed Markey thing come in? That's after you make your comments No it's not okay what is the ISO Okay well let us play the ISO first. Maybe. Let's say at this show. Here is Marky now Marky Think does a Markey is a complete freak and I think he does a better job of Creating a bull crap kind of you know connection between one thing in another and they keeps doing it He's more political than she is, and It's probably. I think he's totally off the wall here But play this and he's the co-sponsor of the resolution right after she was done never in our history

2:26:30 have the interest of all Americans been so united on a single issue. Climate change, from the air we breathe to the jobs that employ us, to the neighborhoods we live in. To the economy we operate within climate change defines our existence Global temperatures are the highest recorded history wealth inequality is at its highest point since the era of The Great Depression the erosion of our coastlines, the erosion of the earning power of workers. The pollution of our planet, the pollution of our democracy by big oil and Koch brother financing. The interrelationship of these ills in injustices is undeniable but the challenge is not insurmountable

2:27:31 Are you ready for my quote little analysis or can you imagine by the way? Yes, I wanted to hear it but he makes a sound. You know, I don't know about you But I can go weeks and weeks, except for this show maybe. But I could go months and never get into a conversation with anybody that I know or meet or talk to at the grocery store any place else where climate change comes up in the conversation. No! It just doesn't happen he makes it sound like that's all that's going on oh my god Okay okay i'll analyze that part first here is what is happening

CHAPTER 37 / 49 Discussion

Climate Science Walking Back, 2030 Deadline

The segment posits that climate scientists are beginning to "walk back" extreme predictions as the 2030 deadline for "catastrophe" approaches. The hosts trace the history of the movement from 1970s global cooling to Al Gore's carbon exchange initiatives. They argue that the current rhetoric is being "abused" by political groups like the Justice Democrats to implement radical economic shifts.

climate science· carbon exchange· maurice strong· al gore· 2030

2:28:12 the climate change just as something by itself, let's call it man-made. You wouldn't even have to use man made at this point except for the fact that there is apparently a man made solution to it This what we've been told is our fault but we can solve it by producing less CO2 That's the basis of the argument This entire argument, going back to when it was going to be global cooling which was in the 70's by many of the same people and now and then global warming Al Gore you have to know about this Chicago carbon exchange. You have to know about Maurice Strong a lot of stuff behind it but that climate change global warming crowd we're about making money off of it let's start... And by the way is not a horrible idea

2:29:02 to have industry more for change or create a new industry that has room for growth because we're out of growth in a lot of our areas. Where else can we make money? Well, we create something new as this climate change and will have prices on carbon and will have whole money systems and that's what it was abused for Now you have this whole generation of kids who've been told we're all gonna die, we're all gonna die We're all gonna die. You can go ahead and we have a report come out just last year that says if we don't do something in 12 years It'll be too late. We're all going to die So people like AOC, not her. The people behind her the Justice Democrats the former Bernie bros they have taken this and they're abusing this climate change to say we fix this and we know how to fix it because it's something that men can fix

2:29:51 man can fix this, then we will fix all the injustice and inequity that you have. All you horrible sad people who vote for me because if you have some kind of inequity in your life, if you're a victim of something and when we solve climate change it's going to solve it for you." Neither of these parties really... AOC doesn't really believe are going to die she really doesn't believe that but this has presented a big problem You heard Marky say, it's the warmest ever. No bullshit! We just heard that 2018 was the fourth warmest year on record now is this celebrated worldwide by saying holy crap it went down It's working. It's working we're going to live

2:30:41 No, no it's just a blip anomaly but still the warmest couple of years. No one wants to tell you the truth but here is The big problem...the climate scientists and the climate scientific community apparently 97%-98%-99.9% agree that this is happening and its done by men women people horrible humans they are fucked because now we have 2030 is 10 years away and they're still going to be around when we don't die. And people like AOC who are saying, who are really bringing it home they're making it very visual in a lot of cases you just heard her talk about the sea sloshing through your living room The climate scientists are going oh man

2:31:33 We're gonna look pretty stupid. This report from our own people came out just last year It says if we don't fix it by 2030, it's over we're toast were done for now They don't really believe that either this is why and I you identified at first? It looks like they're starting to walk it back a little bit The scientists are starting to walk it back. They're walking it back in little bits, little pieces all over the place. Oh clouds or... It's a little harder to do modeling well Alec Baldwin had two of the top US climate scientists on his show and I'm gonna call it a podcast because... It is a podcast isn't? It's on the NPR station in New York but as far as I'm concerned it's a podcast

CHAPTER 38 / 49 Discussion

Alec Baldwin Interview, Kate Marvel and Solar Output

NASA scientist Kate Marvel appeared on Alec Baldwin's podcast, claiming that humans are responsible for "over 100%" of current global warming. She argued that without human intervention, the Earth would be cooling due to a slight decrease in the Sun's output. The hosts criticize the "arrogance" of the scientific community and the complexity of the data models used to attribute warming to human activity.

alec baldwin· kate marvel· nasa· climate modeling· solar minimum

2:32:22 I pulled a couple of other all relatively short clips But just some of the insanity and some of the things you hear them say, I think shows that They're kind of a little more open-ended now And I think we're gonna see a lot more walking back of this just how horrible it is. So this is Kate What's her name? No look at up way to play she sees the one that talks the most how much of it is some cyclical geologic history And even if the contribution we're making is just the one straw that breaks the camel's back, isn't that enough to get you want to curtail our behavior? I think that's actually a really good question. I'm glad you asked it because people keep telling climate scientists like oh, the climate has always changed and were like We know we told you that first of all her name is Kate Marvel and very arrogant to say this right off the bat like that But OK, we are essentially the people who study that we figured that out

2:33:19 What percentage of the warming right now are humans responsible for? Over a hundred percent. A hundred percent! No, no over...over...this is a scientist! Oh I missed that! Yeah because you need to be quiet when i'm playing clips. Over 100% she'll say it not once but twice what percentage of the warming right now... You never play like my clips Your clips? What do you mean your clips. This is my clip, what are you talking about? The point is for one thing I missed that

2:34:03 Because I listened to the beginning of this show too. I couldn't stand her because she's so arrogant and this other guy is a dean of science, I didn't even know that science has a dean but okay he's the Dean of Science at Columbia I missed that because that is borderline clip of the day stuff to say and she's a physicist. To say over 100%. I don't take my border line then! How does that even work? She's a scientist and she's saying over 100% and she doing it with authority Well, she's one of the top US climate scientists there is

2:34:41 So now that you bring it up and I can't catch it now, I'm very appalled. We are essentially the people who study that we figured that out what percentage of the warming right now are humans responsible for over 100 percent? Humans are responsible for more than all of the warming because if it wasn't for us, the earth would be cooling very slightly. More than all of the warming? We're responsible for more than all of the warming! I mean what is that... Because of what the sun's doing. The sun is getting ever so slightly weaker So yeah If it wasn't for us

2:35:17 tiny variation in the sun's output would be making it colder. That's the first I've ever heard it put that way, the Sun is actually getting a little bit weaker she says which I've never heard anyone say and if it weren't for us it would be getting colder but I think there's something some takeaway there So the Sun is actually cooling down a bit and she's agreeing it. The Sun does have a cycle Well, but she's saying it in general not just as a part of the solar minimum I understand yeah Baldwin asks a very very cool question He doesn't know what buddies asking about chemtrails which of course would never happen Do you feel that people are always talking about some radical solution?

2:36:00 I was reading online and they talk about dimming the sun, was the article the other day. They're going to spray the clouds in the atmosphere with a chemical... Yeah it's called chemtrails! Does that concern you? That kind of attitude that there is some quick fix that can happen? Absolutely, that concerns me. I mean first it just begets this kind of hubris that humans can control everything and we're far from that Do you hear what he's saying? It's the opposite of the thesis! Thank you very much He is saying the opposite of what the party line is There's nothing more humbling than trying to solve the climate problem. The work that Kate does, for example in the climate modeling it's an incredibly hard problem and you know the amount of intellectual horsepower that has to go in just oppose the question to understand what is the attribution. I know this is irksome! This is the reason why a lot people get so brain scrambled

CHAPTER 39 / 49 Discussion

Chemtrails, Climate Hubris and Volcanic Simulations

During the Baldwin interview, the topic of "dimming the sun" via atmospheric spraying (geoengineering) was discussed. Scientist Kate Marvel expressed concern over the "hubris" of humans attempting to control the climate. She described her work with NASA climate models, which include simulations of hypothetical events like a volcano erupting in London to test atmospheric responses.

2:35:17 tiny variation in the sun's output would be making it colder. That's the first I've ever heard it put that way, the Sun is actually getting a little bit weaker she says which I've never heard anyone say and if it weren't for us it would be getting colder but I think there's something some takeaway there So the Sun is actually cooling down a bit and she's agreeing it. The Sun does have a cycle Well, but she's saying it in general not just as a part of the solar minimum I understand yeah Baldwin asks a very very cool question He doesn't know what buddies asking about chemtrails which of course would never happen Do you feel that people are always talking about some radical solution?

2:36:00 I was reading online and they talk about dimming the sun, was the article the other day. They're going to spray the clouds in the atmosphere with a chemical... Yeah it's called chemtrails! Does that concern you? That kind of attitude that there is some quick fix that can happen? Absolutely, that concerns me.

Thank you very much He is saying the opposite of what the party line is There's nothing more humbling than trying to solve the climate problem. The work that Kate does, for example in the climate modeling it's an incredibly hard problem and you know the amount of intellectual horsepower that has to go in just oppose the question to understand what is the attribution. I know this is irksome! This is the reason why a lot people get so brain scrambled

2:36:56 They're first of all, the thesis is that man is causing this problem and then the second thesis man can't do anything that would cause or not cause the problem. They can't fix the problem they get there useless are just a bunch of little dots on them on the globe so which is it? Yeah exactly you know the amount of intellectual horsepower I like the amount of intellectual horsepower does need to just even think about climate models I'm gonna roll that back a little bit you got here out climate models Incredibly difficult, it's so hard to do! There's nothing more humbling than trying to solve the climate problem. The work that Kate does, for example in the climate modeling it's an incredibly hard problem and you know the amount of intellectual horsepower that has to go in just oppose the question to understand what the attribution story is how much of global warming is due to human activities and natural factors That's a tremendously complicated problem Just even ask the question Didn't she just say over 100% was good? And he just said

2:37:56 Very, very difficult. You need such an intellectual brain to even think about these models! So Kate tell me about the data models. Describe for me, Kate what exactly is the work you're doing now? I work on climate models which are computer simulations of the climate and those allow us to... I don't want to spoil it, but she's going to tell us what incredible work she can do with these climate models. What would you expect when it comes to some examples of this climate modeling that she is doing? Hockey stick! No, just what kind of things would she be looking at? Oh, she'd be looking at...

2:38:43 I don't have no idea. Okay, ice cores So I work on climate models which are computer simulations of the climate and those allow us to do projections into the future But they also let us do experiments that we couldn't do in the real world And so you know what if a volcano went off in London? Oh now I know what you're spending your time on What would that do What if humans didn't exist? What would the earth look like I mean what if a volcano went off in London important scientific work So I work with climate models. I work with an incredible amount of data that comes out of those models and Because I sit at an office of NASA, I work with satellite datasets to try to see what are the models telling us? What's actually happening And are those the same thing

CHAPTER 40 / 49 Discussion

Nuclear Power Debate, Carbon Pricing and Waste

The discussion on Alec Baldwin's podcast turned to nuclear energy as a zero-emission solution. Scientists expressed agnosticism toward nuclear power, citing the energy-intensive process of uranium enrichment and the long-term problem of nuclear waste storage at sites like Yucca Mountain. The segment notes that no new reactors have been built in decades primarily due to cost-effectiveness rather than environmental opposition.

nuclear energy· carbon tax· yucca mountain· green new deal· uranium

2:39:30 Sounds like she's just goofing off. Volcano in London! What is that about? Is there any volcanic activity near London that we should be worried about for the climate? I don't know if there has ever been volcanoes or because no volcanic mountains there... No, it's dumb. So pretty soon in this interview what are we going to do about it well there's obviously only one answer and I think That they are from group one and not group two. Group two is the justice for all equity for all group They're still working with money money from the old group What would be I'll go with you first Peter? What would be some of the things that you would do right now to address this problem, right? So if I was king in the world The thing that I would do right now is support the Green New Deal

2:40:18 Which is this investment in infrastructure and resupplying, repowering the planet. It's a shift toward renewables it's adopting wide-scale battery storage. It's basically built... Adopting wide scale battery storage What does that mean, wide-scale battery storage? Batteries are just batteries and not all that great. In this country national climate resilience as a way of addressing the climate problem because there's in my opinion there is no solution toward this other than an economic market based one we can't drive the world into poverty we can't drive the world into you know dramatic way of living relative to where we are now certainly on the time scale were talking about which is my lifetime

2:41:05 This is not even my children's full lifetime. This is at the end of our lifetimes We're gonna be seeing these impacts What about you? What would you do if you were thee I don't want it I want to get it right gender wise If you were the king, I guess I can be whatever I want. I could be what everyone Right now emitting carbon dioxide is free. We don't charge anybody to do that and I don't think it should be free because there is a cost to it, we're all paying that price and so I would put a price on carbon dioxide. I would say you cannot do this for free, you actually have to pay the social costs." So I think at this point...I'm sorry can I ask a question? Oh please! I am sure about now and you could tell me if I'm wrong that Baldwin in all his

2:41:56 high intellect said, hey since this is a situation that is existential meaning our existence is at stake. We have to move as fast as possible what about turning everything off having a five-year time period to do it turning every fossil fuel plant and everything like that off and putting nuclear energy in everywhere and going to an all-electric economy, and that would end the CO2 emissions to zero almost within five years. Well he didn't ask it at this point in the conversation but I'm happy to skip ahead. I am agnostic on nuclear power. I'm actually willing to be convinced one way or another because it is true that in the course of generating electricity nuclear does not produce carbon dioxide emissions. Um...I think you're absolutely right

2:42:50 you have to take into account mining and enriching the uranium, both of which are energy-intensive processes. And then the fact that once you turn on a nuclear reactor, you have a 10,000-, 100,000-year nuclear waste problem. And you have to figure out what to do with that. Decontamination, decommissioning – all those companies are going to turn around and they're going to sit there and go, wow! We thought we had set aside enough money and we thought we had government supervised funds where we set aside enough money but we really don't. We can have a lot of Hanford's all around the country. One thing I do want to point out is there hasn't been a nuclear reactor built in this country in my lifetime, and that is not because environmentalists have been mean to nuclear. That's because it's not cost-effective. If if it made money people would do this and so I kind of think that how I feel about nuclear doesn't matter. What about you Peter?

2:43:46 My viewpoints are not that different than yours, but actually I'd like to also ride this middle ground which is that let's put it on the table. Let's put it on the table and have people decide and what... And the decision inevitably comes to don't build it near me. And then it comes to where we can put the storage? Actually got a masters degree in nuclear waste management And, you know one of the results of my study was that we had no place to bury these. You know what the idea was is try to pursue undersea storage. We're just leaving it in tanks and water on site? Exactly! So it's a mess thats not cleaned up and our failed Yucca Mountain Storage Facility

2:44:29 It's a dead issue. They're never going to come back again. Right, exactly so here we gave our absolute best effort our top scientists trying to figure out where to put this stuff and they couldn't agree But if you asked me do you want a nuclear plant built next door to you or a coal plant? I'd choose the nuclear plant every day because if if you are Interested in harming people killing people the best way to do that is to build a coal plant So So I found this very enlightening, and was saving it for the last because you never hear them say this. They're poorly informed! Clearly they do not know that modern reactors actually reuse their own waste

Human Extinction Claims, Y2K Comparison

Kate Marvel clarified that while climate change is a threat to "human happiness and civilization," it is likely not an immediate threat to human existence. The hosts compare the current climate alarmism to the Y2K scare, noting that sincere believers often become defensive when their dire predictions fail to materialize. They suggest the "fourth warmest year" data is being used as an excuse to begin backing off previous claims.

human extinction· y2k· climate change· social happiness· science

2:45:07 So they're all misinformed on that. But I think it's also part of, you know we should not like... We can't really be telling everyone we're all gonna die because we're really not in fact I think this this-I'll just make this the last clip This kind of proves that they know their full shit. I mean like the Earth is a rock right? It's really- Oh hold on! Whoa did you hear what the physicist said? The Earth is a rock right?! I mean like the earth's are rock right? It's it's a really special Rock But the Earth doesn't care about climate change. It's still going to be here, and I actually...I'm not sure that climate change is an immediate threat to human existence but I know that it is an immediate threat to human happiness in human civilization. And so a lot of times- It's an immediate threat to the way we live now. For sure 100%. A lot of people ask me like oh are humans gonna extinct? Are we doomed?

2:46:00 And I kind of feel like, we're probably not doomed but like I have higher standards. You know what I mean? Like if that's the best thing you can say after a day you're like, I didn't go extinct today then it wasn't a good day. Row row row your boat backwards up the stream We're not gonna die this is the top client site It's less happiness Oh Okay This to me is the evergreen clip forever We're not gonna die from this. No, no I don't want to look that stupid in 12 years when i'm still around and we're not dead. No, we'll just be less happy That's kind of what happened with all the guys who were all-in with y2k Because it was really within just a few years that they had to eat their words And I have a friend who is one of them all in

2:46:52 And it wasn't like they weren't sincere. That's the thing with the climate change people too, I disagree that anyone that Cortez is insincere for example. They were all sincere about Y2K. I mean love they were making a lot of money same thing you get make a lot of money you kind of convince yourself that what you're doing is... You can be sincere by all the cash you're making but If you, like a year after the whole thing was over and you'd run into one of these guys and write him a little bit about this? Holy mackerel, they get angry Really? Okay Well this is the model so here's the model Because I know there's plenty of people who say yeah because we spent all the money We did all the work. We saved that world from total disaster and y2k I'm sure that's the story with most of these people well I think you hit the nail on the head with the idea

2:47:51 that this year is not the warmest. No, fourth warmest. Because you can now start this is your excuse to start backing it off all the things we've done all the good work we did all the cutbacks we made all the Obama laws all this stuff has apparently made a difference yeah but that doesn't solve the problem for the carbon pricing people it doesn't solve AOC's problem she wants all kinds of stuff and money to spend on things okay I got an alternative Same thing, only this time it's way in the future where the argument would go like this. Now the thing is Adam we've noticed that back in 2018 this was already reversing! We just didn't realize it at the time. Sounds legit! Do you remember Georgetown Texas? Just north of ATX? Georgetown who bogatively claimed that they were an all-green city

Georgetown Texas Green Energy Failure, Winter Weather

The city of Georgetown, Texas, which was praised by Al Gore for going 100% renewable, reportedly lost nearly $30 million due to its reliance on wind power. Residents saw significant increases in their utility bills as a result. The segment also notes extreme winter weather across the U.S., including heavy snow in Port Angeles, Washington, contrasting local conditions with global warming narratives.

georgetown texas· renewable energy· wind power· al gore· weather

2:48:53 green right now, green energy and we deconstructed that to mean that they were connected to other green providers on their grid. How did that work out for them? Let's check in a year later. Meanwhile a small town in Texas winning high praise from Al Gore and the Green Movement when it made all of its electricity 100% renewable back in 2012. So I assume that the reason you did this is that the two of your just rabid environmentalists. Well not exactly a conservative Republican, okay? But our duty to our ratepayers is to provide them with the lowest possible utility costs

2:49:34 Money talks. Well, Al you're absolutely right money talks to the tune of nearly 30 million dollars a year which is what the city of Georgetown lost when they realized they could not rely on wind for power Chuck DeVore is vice president of the... well then they go into some douche bag from a think tank but they wound up paying about $1,000 per family more actually over three years period so I guess it wasn't just last year was three years ago Yeah, so it cost them more. Didn't work out they lied and they lost And it's the whole thing is rather complicated with this backdrop. I mean

2:50:25 At a certain point, yeah well weather's not climate. It's been freezing at night here in Texas! It was cold here last night and it was my Mimi is up north at the Port Angeles and she snowed in! Three to two feet of snow can't get anywhere and she says you wouldn't go on the road anyway cuz nobody knows how to drive in this no and they're smashing into each other. Do we need some producers to go and bring her supplies? No, she's smart enough to get a house full of supplies for hoarders Archivist. Two freezers. Archivists is my preferred term, but... And another thing that's cool is that when it's cold like that you can put all the milk and a lot of this stuff in the refrigerator right outside just put it right there on the snowbank My question is who was controlling HAARP? I mean someone's making the weather this way just want to know who has their finger on the button Well there was storming here last night like I haven't seen for a long time It was just battering the place and then it raining it was getting out very cold

European Solidarity Corps, Youth Climate Protests

The "Youth in Action" group, which promotes climate protests among Dutch and Belgian students, is revealed to be fully subsidized by the European Union. The organization is part of the "European Solidarity Corps," a mobility scheme with a 340 million euro budget. The hosts argue that the EU is using these programs to "brainwash" children and build public support for new carbon taxes.

european union· youth in action· climate protests· brussels· subsidies

2:51:28 So that's was sunny this anyway, so I think basically all eyes on On scientists walking stuff back a little bit Oh and I did have one just a funny kind of thing because the the parents in the Netherlands are starting to catch on they're getting really pissed off They've figuring out now that their kids, you know Brussels is kind of spilled over to the Netherlands now the Dutch kids also want to protest climate change all bundled up in there wool hats and scarves and gloves. And this truancy is being promoted by the schools and parents are saying well hold on a second why this? Just tell me what's going on! What's coming to light is this group Youth In Action

2:52:13 which is promoting this, is going to the schools giving the school's materials. This is a 100% fully subsidized outfit, subsidized by the European Parliament, the European Union that is youth in action and they are part of wait for it... The European Solidarity Corps Remember we talked about them? Yeah. You better remind people because it wasn't talked about recently. Yeah, the last show 340 million euros in the budget for the European Solidarity Corps I will read a little bit The European Solidarity Corps is a professional mobility scheme for young people aged 18 to 30 who are citizens and residents of the European Union

2:53:02 Funded by the EU but rung among others by Paule employ the French public employment service and its European partners for the occupational strand it covers the entire territory of the European Union therefore It offers you the opportunity to go and work in another member state and get involved in paid Placements that are useful to people and the community. This is like a protest group that they ship around their whole year and And it's really, I mean you read through this. It is in the show notes of course. It is easy useful and effective all you have to do is register at the European Commission portal dedicated to European Solidarity Court from there you'll get your armband your hat and your secret badge doesn't really say that so these are the people pushing it it is the European Union who is pushing this and what do you think they have? What is the point money

2:54:00 Taxes, taxes to get people to buy into the bullcrap. Get them to buy in the climate change more you know just that's what it is! Oh the kids are out there oh well the kids are out so if the kids are doing it we must be real let's cut up whatever do whatever the government tells you to do control control brainwashing very child abuse how about this child abuse all right you got anything I got more, but you know, I think we maybe should take a break. Thanks. Thank you people. Okay hold on a second We should do that officially in the way that sounds the best I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do this.

Typhus Outbreak in Los Angeles, Urban Decay

A typhus outbreak is reported at Los Angeles City Hall, with at least one employee infected and reports of rodents in the building. The bacterial disease, typically associated with the Middle Ages or third-world conditions, saw 142 cases in LA County last year. The hosts link the outbreak to the city's growing homelessness crisis and deteriorating sanitary conditions in downtown areas.

typhus· los angeles· city hall· rats· homelessness

3:10:49 Let's see, I do have a few things. Oh yes this is the future of Austin people you know The Keeper and I are looking at moving out looks like we're gonna be successful maybe the next two months moving out of downtown for sure moving eastward but i think that... Is this good to move? I thought you liked downtown. You could go down, you'd go the library and go all the clubs a lot of clubs and restaurants so it's just jump in little area right or no well it depends if you don't mind being assaulted by vagrants trying to dodge scooters coming up e-scooter on the sidewalk that you can't hear and they do brush past you barely hitting

3:11:42 If you want all that, step around the dog crap everywhere. Yeah downtown is great! No it's a total shithole Thank You Mayor Adler Here's your future Typhus outbreak in downtown Los Angeles has workers at City Hall on edge tonight after at least one employee came down with the dangerous disease The office of Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez shared this video showing a mouse scurrying across the floor Typhus is typically transmitted through fleas infected by rodents There have been many reports of rats and other critters running rampant through City Hall. The city employee was diagnosed with the bacterial disease back in November, she believes she was infected at work and refuses to return to the job until City Hall East is thoroughly fumigated I was so sick i thought it was going to die

3:12:30 Who thinks of typhus? I think of typhus as something that i read about in history books. Symptoms of typhus include fever, chills and severe rashes extreme cases can be deadly there were 142 confirmed cases of typhus in LA County last year What?! Typhus? That's a third world disease. You know, in the Net... Holland always has these phrases that they use that stem from very long ago and there stills... something I grew up with that kids still say today if they're mad at someone else is like, krijgt het tyfus jij! Or they would say, tyfus jong!

3:13:10 So it would be get typhoid, get typhus or you're a typhus kid. These are the insults that today still stand but they are from the Middle Ages and they've just came all the way through. Typhus... It's insane that that's back! 142 cases in Los Angeles? Just getting started. Just getting ramped up baby. That's fantastic Typhoid Mary goes well in hand with a hepatitis. What is the typhoid Mary legacy? Wasn't that some... Well, typhoid fever and typhus are two different diseases. Oh okay all right so what I think pretty sure um i don't know typhoid and typhous yeah that's maybe two different things i don't know i don't know enough about it but it doesn't sound there'll be a bright outbreak of that next

3:14:04 What is the actual bubonic plague? Isn't that be coming soon. That's always been around But it seems so obvious that if you have this problem, and I don't know then does not mean you from time They'd like Stossel did a report recently These are based on Fox Business News or whatever. Yeah, there's typhus fevers different in typhoid yeah Dr.. Drew was in LA always talking about he said we're gonna get the plague and It's like, yeah it's if you have a mess. If you don't have a sanitary situation... Yeah! You got a bunch of people living on the streets like you were in the I mean even in Brazil they go and they live in the favelas. Oh that's nuts We just need a shantytown. I propose turning Daly City into Bay Area to a shanty town that'd be great. Daily city? Daily city, yeah. Shantytown All right. You guys think West Austin is your case

Venezuela Arms Seizure, Elliott Abrams and Coup Efforts

Venezuelan authorities reportedly seized 19 assault weapons and military-grade radio equipment from a U.S.-owned plane flying from Miami. The aircraft, owned by 21 Air, had made numerous trips between Florida and South America since January.

3:14:59 Uh, West Austin I'm not... we're not gonna move to West Austin. No way! No, I would say that would be as far away from you as possible. Oh yeah! Which is the ritzy part of town i think it's that right or am I wrong? Yeah, West Austin is uh is Terrytown It sounds like Shantytown We can just rename it. Yeah turn Terrytown into Shanty Town Okay, yeah, we'll see We'll see. I have a clip that upstates this on Venezuela with of course the democracy now angle and a couple of little tidbits in here that aren't really being discussed by the gung-ho CBS and all the rest of the pro... Maduro?

3:15:44 The pro-coup operations, this is anti coup. So you get a couple of tidbits here. McClatchy is reporting Venezuelan authorities have uncovered 19 assault weapons 118 ammunition cartridges and 90 military grade radio antennas on board a US owned plane that had flown from Miami into Valencia Venezuela's third largest city the The Boeing 767 is owned by a company called 21 Air, based in Greensboro, North Carolina. The plane has made nearly 40 round-trip flights between Miami and spots in Venezuela and Colombia since January 11th—the day after Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro was sworn into his second term.

3:16:28 Bolivarian National Guard General Endes Palencia-Vortiz said, quote, this material was destined for criminal groups and terrorist actions in the country financed by the fascist extreme right and the government of the United States. Quote, This comes as the United States is openly pushing for the toppling of Maduro's government." On Thursday, the new U.S. special envoy to Venezuela, Elliott Abrams, ruled out any negotiations with President Maduro. Maduro has proven he will manipulate any call for negotiations to his advantage and he has often used so-called dialogues as way to play for time

3:17:11 We are all involved to deal solely with the legitimate Guaido government. The time for dialogue with Maduro has long passed. Elliott Abrams is a right-wing hawk who was convicted in 1991 for lying to Congress during the Iran-Contra scandal, later pardoned by President George HW Bush. That guy flies way low under the radar. But here we go! Yeah, I'm seeing...I'm not seeing the action where you know this looks like this could be a little more complex than that we hoped Not quite as slick as we all expected it to be eh? Yeah that's what i'm thinking

And fine ending to the show I was going to maybe I can tie it in by saying there is no love lost between France and Italy

3:18:35 And this is actually kind of big news. Yeah, this I couldn't clip by wishful thinking Well there's nothing to clip! I just got the news and I just wanted that everyone know that we're on top of it and if we have any more boots-on-the-ground info we'd appreciate it France has recalled their ambassador to Italy Which is... If you can have a war between France and Italy that would be something Well the last time this happened was 1940 when Mussolini declared war So why this exactly is such a big deal besides the fact that I don't know Italy probably owes everyone knows 100 billion euros. Well, the French claim to the Italians are meddling in their affairs. What is it? But

3:19:20 We will know more by Thursday as it starts unravel, as the producers in the Value for Value Network give us as much information as possible.

Congressman...I'm not a puppet to repeat what you're saying. I think it is very consistent in your inference that somehow that process was corrupted or corrupt is absolutely wrong and the premise of your question I reject Mr Attorney General we're not joking here Supposedly oops oops I'm sorry Back to theatrics again. The curtain opened up and we found out what was really going on, no we want to damage the president. Considering that the acting attorney general was previously the pitchman for a fraudulent company that sold toilets and time machines so he didn't put his best foot forward for sure I don't know if your time's been restored or not
