Michael Jackson and R Kelly Radio Bans

Radio stations across the globe are implementing bans on Michael Jackson and R Kelly records following recent controversies. These moves are characterized as promotional virtue signaling, noting that similar scrutiny is rarely applied to other historical figures like Wagner.

00:00 Can I buy you a autograph? No. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Sunday, March 10, 2019. This is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1119. This is no agenda. Tracking truancy for the climate and broadcasting live from Gitmo Nation Lowlands in the Schiphol Airport runway suite in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're contemplating the dirty theremin in John C. Dvorak. It's crackpot and buzzkill in the morning. I didn't expect that one.

00:37 You saw the video. Oh. Nothing like playing the theremin with your breasts. Well, if you want to call that playing. Hey man, that wasn't show material. I just sent it to you just so you could have a chuckle. And I would like to... How did anyone find that video from some, I think, Spanish band from who knows where? Now I have to put it in the show notes. I don't recommend anyone watching. Now everybody wants to see it. And a notice, for obvious reasons this show will not be playing any Michael Jackson records. Yeah. That shit is everywhere. As usual. Yeah, because we don't play music. That would be the number one reason. Yeah, all the radio stations here doing the same thing. We're not gonna play any Michael Jackson records. It's the oldest radio station trick in the book.

01:33 It's not much of a trick. They're all doing it. Well, it's a promotional thing. That's what it's that's what it's about. It's a promotion Yes, we are. It's virtue signaling of the highest order. Yeah, and we're also not gonna play any R Kelly Yeah, you know, it's crazy because no one ever complains about us playing Wagner with flight of the Valkyries only Hitler's most favorite song I mean, just as a point of order. I don't know that that was actually Hitler's most favorite song. No, it was actually Goebbels' favorite song because he felt that it got everybody all charged up and ready for the big speech. That could be. Yeah. Which is why we play it! I think Hitler's favorite song was some Oompa-Polka. Oompa-pa, oompa-pa. Yes, well I'm here in still in Gitmo Nation lowlands, stayed here to be able to do the show, leaving tomorrow morning early. Although,

The Netherlands has emerged as a global hub for ecstasy production, with the "Donald Trump" pill currently ranking as the most popular and potent variety. The orange-colored pills are shaped like the president's likeness, featuring his signature hairstyle.

05:46 Now, I've never taken ecstasy, so I don't know much about it, but I do know that, you know, it started off back in, I'm going to say the 90s, and you know, the pill, everyone has pill machines who manufacture them, and they make little smiley faces, and you know, sometimes Flintstones, or you know, different characters. Guess what? The number one ecstasy pill is Right now in the Netherlands with it is not only the most popular, but also the most powerful I think it's 200 milligrams of whatever ecstasy your head close the Donald Trump ecstasy pill oh It's really crazy It looks just like him The pill is orange. He's got his wavy hair and

06:37 And the kids... Orange man bad. Orange man good! Orange man bad. Orange man very good to the kids. Yeah, so yeah, really I don't think much else is relevant for the show. I do want to say that if you... yes. If you do hear any glitches, audio glitches, yes, that is the correct usage of the term glitch. I'm pretty sure through all the troubleshooting the producers have done with me that this is a function of trying to run everything off of one USB 3 port through a hub, even though it's a very powerful powered hub and good quality, and I think I have the right chipsets. So I am doing what is advised is to purchase the dock which goes along with the surface and that'll give me four

07:24 Actual ports. Oh Microsoft makes something. Yeah, that's typical Yeah, and I really I'm sad because who wants another brick another brick that needs power which means another you know God knows how big the power supply is they never show that I'm trying to keep everything lightweight, but You'll just have to deal so you don't have to tell me that you heard a glitch. Oh I'm not gonna tell you. No, no, I'm not talking to you. I'm talking to the producers of Lodge. Who are you talking to? Are you talking to me? I'm talking to me! I'm talking to the producers of Lodge! All right, this morning we have breaking news. So we begin with that breaking news. An Ethiopian Airlines jet with 157 people on board has crashed. The Boeing 737 Max 8 took off from the capital Addis Ababa bound for Nairobi in Kenya. It came down near the town of Bishoftu in eastern Ethiopia.

08:19 Ethiopian Prime Minister has tweeted his condolences for the 149 passengers and 8 crew on board. What memo? The MAX 8 memo. Yeah, well, you know, statistically I don't want to fly a 737 MAX right now. There's not that many... Well, yeah, if these guys aren't gonna read the memo. But we don't know what happened. I mean, if this is the same runaway elevator problem, then you're right, they didn't read the manual, but we can call it the memo. That would be that would be just tragically stupid, but it could be something else surprised me Yeah, but I mean that was worldwide all pilots knew about this training programs manual all kinds of stuff was was adjusted for that so You know maybe more wrong or maybe this is just the Airbus Boeing war heating back up again as if it ever went away

09:13 Yeah, so I was like, hey, hey, hey, boss, boss, we need to get more to airbus sales because airbus had some horrible numbers like they only sold two new planes or something. Some crazy ass, just horrible sales number. And I guess the 380 they're going to discontinue. Yeah. That's a shame. Hey, Borsh. I know it's kind of a kind of a weird plane to even think about. All the hype in this 747 to which is one of the greatest airplanes ever invented Boeing stopping the 747 I think so either pulling back or something. Mm-hmm. That's telling them anymore, huh? Wow, they're getting ready for those battery planes, I guess Yeah battery planes It's gonna be a banana stations are huge, especially the ones in the middle of the Pacific It's gonna be dynamite

Brexit Withdrawal Agreement and Parliamentary Uncertainty

Prime Minister Theresa May faces a critical vote in Parliament regarding her unpopular Brexit withdrawal agreement. Despite warnings of ongoing uncertainty and potential delays, the UK remains scheduled to leave the European Union in three weeks with no clear resolution in sight.

brexit· theresa may· parliament· european union· grimsby

10:06 I am over here in Euroland, so I of course am watching the European news. Let me give you a quick rundown. Let's start off, I don't think you have one, with a Brexit update. On Tuesday, Parliament is expected to vote on May's unpopular Brexit withdrawal agreement, which it rejected in January by an historic margin. Speaking in the English seaport of Grimsby, where 70% voted to leave the EU, May said if Parliament defeats her deal again, it'll be taking a big gamble. Reject it and no one knows what will happen. We may not be leaving the EU for many months. We may leave without the protections that the deal provides. We may never leave at all. The only certainty would be ongoing uncertainty. In fact, many blame May and Parliament for the uncertainty, which has caused businesses to postpone investment and persist with just three weeks to go before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU. Yeah, it's coming down to the wire now.

11:00 They're not going to leave. Right, but what are they going to do? They're going to push it off. They're not getting a delay. They're not getting a delay. The EU won't let them delay. You want to bet? No, no. I'm just telling you what they're saying. We're still waiting for the do-over. And what would the strategy be? They're doing everything they can to get the do-over to happen, but the public, I guess, is resisting or there's enough members of parliament that have You know, that have ethics that are resisting, I'm not sure. I don't know either. It's kind of quiet. You just don't hear much about what the actual plans are.

Finland Government Resignation over Healthcare Reform Failure

The Finnish government led by Prime Minister Juha Sipilä resigned after failing to pass major healthcare reforms intended to cut costs for an aging population. The resignation triggers a caretaker government period ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for April 14th.

11:43 Nothing on democracy now nothing on the news hour none of that nope I was if I had If I had a clip I would have believe me on I you know I was trying to look for a brexit clip There's nothing going on. It's just the quiet phase. Yeah, this is about all I could find as well It's just okay. There's nothing in the financial markets. There's nothing nothing not talking about it. Did you hear about Finland? No, Finland I have not heard about. Finland is in political limbo after its government resigned on Friday over ditched healthcare reforms. Faced with a fast-aging population and financial constraints, Prime Minister Juha Sipilä's government had intended to cut the healthcare system's expenses. But the reform didn't get pushed through, prompting Sipilä to dissolve his centre-right coalition just one month before parliamentary elections.

12:33 The outgoing Prime Minister said he had been left with no choice after his key policy had failed. In a country where cutting costs to an extensive but expensive healthcare system is a major political obstacle. Sapilla added that he was hugely disappointed by the outcome. Finland's president approved Prime Minister Sapilla's resignation. and asked his government to continue in a caretaker role until a new cabinet is appointed after the election's due on April 14th. I was a little disappointed none of our, we've got knights in Finland, I'd expect that someone at least sent me a little note about this. I'm not sure what the healthcare system in Finland looks like. If it's anything similar to the rest of Scandinavia then we can kind of guess that the system is breaking at the seams then if they can't come to any agreement.

13:23 Now this would be their, you know, their, I guess they have socialized medicine, I presume. You know the, yes they do. The parliamentary system usually happens when the guy, the head, the chief, the honcho, the prime minister, the muckety-muck, number one minister, yeah, foam finger number one, has, he gets in that job, she gets in that job, they have a policy change they want to make, they have the votes behind it, and then they go ahead and they push their agenda and then it fails, they fall on their sword, quit. Right. It's not called the way the cabinet fell? Isn't that what you're supposed to say? Well, something happened. The point is that in that parliamentary system, that's what happens.

14:07 when you screw up. So why didn't Theresa May quit? Oh, I see what you're doing. Brexit deal got a no confidence vote. Well, she's reptilian. Got voted down. Reptiles don't just give up. They just flick the tongue and keep on going. I don't know. But this, you know, so we'll see. I'm very interested in this. What exactly failed with their health care system? Now it seems that these socialized systems are not working very well. You know, we talked about it on the previous show in the Netherlands where they're cutting stuff left and right. They work in France just fine. Well, since you bring up France this weekend, Act 17! That would be doucette. That's what they call it. Yep. Water cannon and tear gas have become a... Oh, what happened there? Oops. Huh. Can you still hear me? Yeah.

France Yellow Vest Protests and Act 17

The Yellow Vest movement in France entered its 17th weekend of protests, characterized by clashes with police involving water cannons and tear gas. While some reports suggest the movement is losing steam, President Emmanuel Macron's popularity has seen a slight rise following national town hall debates.

france· yellow vests· emmanuel macron· act 17· paris

15:04 Well, that was... that's odd. Well, it's just a short clip. No, it's not a short clip. It just... huh. Let me see if I can reload it. Hold on a second. That was odd. What happened there? Water cannon and tear gas have become a familiar sight for visitors to Paris But this weekend there are signs that France's yellow vest movement may finally have run out of steam less than 30,000 should point out This is the globalist euro news reporting who just passed over the climate change Tax that was included in the diesel and why people are really out initially, but okay people oh and oh

15:40 And of course it's losing steam. People across the country turned out for the 17th weekend of protests, which began over the price of diesel, but grew into more general expression of anger towards a government seen as out of touch with the less well-off. There were isolated clashes between police and demonstrators on Saturday, but nothing compared to those seen at the height of the movement. President Emmanuel Macron launched a series of town hall debates across the country in an attempt to diffuse attention and that tactic appears to have paid off with opinion polls showing an eight-point rise in his popularity rating. Sure, sure, kill him with numbers, Euronews. Oh no, he's rising the polls, they're running out of steam. Yeah.

16:28 The French don't really let up that easily and especially now that the yellow vests are are throwing poop bombs at the cops, which is quite nasty. They're not going to report on any of that. Well, no, no, it's the globalist euro news. Go France. I wish we had a better source for this. discussion on this phenomenon. Well and that's the problem is that mainstream news in Europe is just not, you get this report is the same everywhere there's no mention of it in other places in France there's no places no mention of other

17:07 of this happening to other countries. We don't get any. I mean, they, they glossed over news when they would talk about it here and they talk about as a weekend phenomenon. It's like, you know, what are we doing this weekend? Where are we going to put our vests on and, and, oh yeah, good point. Yeah. It's just, it's only in the weekends. Yeah. It's not a big deal. It's like a hobby for them. Yeah. A little side side thing to do. There's nothing else going on in France. Yeah. Are we being sarcastic? We're being sarcastic now, aren't we? We've got to be careful of that. No. We're being sarcastic in the way that I think is dangerous, which is that we're expressing what you did. Yeah. That wasn't we then. It was you. Oh, okay. And then I have a... I mean, the kind of sarcasm I don't like

Italy Balsamic Vinegar Food Fraud Scandal

Italian authorities uncovered a massive food fraud operation involving millions of euros worth of table grapes used to produce fraudulent balsamic vinegar of Modena. The investigation highlights the challenges of protecting location-specific food designations under EU regulations.

italy· balsamic vinegar· modena· food fraud· table grapes

17:56 By the way, this is only recently. And I had to correct myself on a tweet because I was doing it, which was saying something that's not true. That's true. In a sarcastic manner, thus you're supposed to, when you hear me, know that it's not true and then know that I'm being sarcastic and think it's oh so funny. And believe me, it is. Well, it is, but not everybody can hear that. And if one in three persons doesn't have a sense of humor, then it's a disservice to the public. I have one last piece of news from Europe, and this one's for you, because it is listed as a huge food fraud scandal, which has been uncovered in Italy, involving millions of euros worth of grapes

18:52 used to make fraudulent balsamic vinegar. Ah, this doesn't surprise me. Now, balsamic vinegar of Modena is one of these location-protected food items under EU regulations, so, you know, like champagne, I guess. You can't call it champagne unless it's... comes from Champagne. So in this area in this case it means in order to bear the name the grapes used in production have to be sourced from these specific spots, but Italian authorities have discovered that table grapes were being used Was being sold to some companies producing the traditional balsamic vinegar Table grapes I to fake grape. Well, it's real grapes, but they're not the grapes are supposed to use for this particular product Yeah

19:41 Now would you be able to taste it? I think this has been going on for years. Well, it might have been. Are you able to taste the difference? I mean, you are a vinegar aficionado. Yeah, you can taste it. The problem with balsamic is because the process for making it involves no aging, a little aging, a lot of aging, and it involves different specific gravities, which is the relative thickness. Oh, gravity is thickness? Specific gravity is pretty much thickness. It's the weight per

20:19 volume kind of calculation. But anyway, so this, it can be very thick and so you can pour it and it comes out kind of like a syrup or it can be watery like the stuff you buy at Costco. And so there is not watery, watery, but it's just watery. It's just like the same viscosity of, uh, of regular vinegar. It doesn't have any of the thickness that you get on a good balsamic. Um, and thank you for, for giving us the correct pronunciation. Balsamic. I think I always say balsamic, which is wrong. Balsamic. I don't really think it's important. But... It is to me. But I think that because of the variation in the quality and style, I think it'd be very easy to pass off the mediocre, using the wrong grapes and making it the traditional way and getting those flavors. I don't think it would be... I think it'd be very difficult to spot, to be honest about it. Well, the scandal is upon us.

21:19 I'm gonna have to have some some of the scandalous stuff. It's like you never know. Scandalous! You know, it's possible that the scandalous stuff is better. It could be. It's always possible. It does happen. Hey man, this stuff actually kicks ass. We like it. It actually could be better. In fact, if they marketed it differently, I think you'd have some... For example, don't call it balsamic, call it asalmic. You had b-salmic, try a-salmic. Oh, an exit strategy. New vinegar. I have an idea, we could write a book about it. Oh, I'm sorry. What am I thinking?

Hillary Clinton Southern Accent and Cultural Appropriation

Hillary Clinton has faced criticism for adopting a Southern "twang" during speeches at churches and political events. Observers characterize the shift in cadence as a form of cultural appropriation used to appeal to specific demographics, a tactic previously utilized by Bill Clinton.

hillary clinton· southern accent· cultural appropriation· bill clinton· voter registration

22:03 Alright, what you got going on that side of the ocean? Well, let's start off with listening to Hillary try to speak to the Southern twang. Wait a minute, this is not from the 80s, is it? No, it's from like a couple weeks ago. Oh because there's a famous video of her doing this southern twang when Bill was running. She uses it all the time when she goes to churches. Ah, let's listen. She said be glad in it. Oh. Wait, did she say in it? What did she say? And then let's get to work. Reverend Green, when those bones get up. And when that spirit is breathed into them, and they start climbing out of that valley, the first place they go is to register to vote.

22:48 Because you know I've heard Corey preach. Oh, yeah, Oh brother. Oh, Mrs. Sewell, you know I mean he you just get ready now is that southern or is that black or is that black southern black? Congregational southern I mean it's cultural appropriation no matter what you call it. Oh, yeah, that's that is it's just lame It's like when you go to the you know the churches people love it They do, huh? Bill did it all the time. It's interesting because whenever we get an Australian donation and we speak in an Australian accent, the Australians don't love it. Same with the British. They don't really love it. They don't love it. So what was this? This is her I'm not running thing? No, she's just hanging out and she's not running but she's doing a lot of these speeches. It's part of her not running.

2020 Democratic Primary and Elizabeth Warren's Policy Shifts

The 2020 Democratic primary field is shifting as Sherrod Brown exits the race and Joe Biden contemplates a run. Elizabeth Warren is noted for moving toward more progressive policies to align with Bernie Sanders' base, while some speculate on a potential return by Hillary Clinton.

elizabeth warren· joe biden· bernie sanders· sherrod brown· 2020 election

23:45 Now you're still all in on her swooping in, talons extended and... She has to. I don't know man, Joe Biden seems to be the guy of the moment. It's like everyone's waiting for Joe. Joe Biden's gonna be 78. So? He just... And he's also... Well, it's also that he's... I don't think he's all there. I mean, he's never been. Uh-huh. But he's the one that Biden's time has come and gone and Bernie's time is coming. They're all coming gone. There's nobody. They have nobody. Sherrod Brown just dropped out. Yeah, I'm going to have to take him off my list because I thought he'd be a possibility. Yeah, you had him up there. But what I heard is Sherrod Brown dropped out because he heard the whisper that Biden was going to jump in. Well, I'm sure Biden is going to jump in even though he's like waffling. But Sherrod Brown is younger and he's got more on the ball.

24:44 You know, I don't know. They think they're gonna run Biden against Trump. I mean, I think Biden would be good because he could be mean-spirited. I think you have to be that way to run against Trump. And I think Elizabeth Warren would have been the best candidate the last go-round, but not this time because now she's embarrassed by her stupid Pocahontas stuff and all the rest of it. I got a note from her. Let me see. Where was this? I got a note from her too. She's also backed off on She's on her normal middle-of-the-road moderate policies, and she's gone all in with the Bernie boys. Yeah, I got now where was it? I thought I'd chip in oh, but I remember what it was well now here it is Maybe this isn't it it was in regard to Manafort sentencing sentencing and which from what I understand I just saw just saw you know a couple of

25:41 a couple of bits on CNN International that the left is outraged that he only got 47 months, which is kind of four years and not three years everyone's talking about, but he got 47 months in this first round of sentencing. And here's Pocahontas' memo to me. And the reason why I get these is because I've sent money to pretty much every political candidate that makes sense, so I'm on all the lists. You can thank me later. Here's a tale of two criminal sentences Donald Trump's campaign manager Paul Manafort committed bank and tax fraud and got sentenced to 47 months. A homeless man, Faith Winslow, helped sell $20 of pot and got life in prison. The words above the Supreme Court say equal justice under the law. When will we start acting like it? And it goes on and on and on and on. You know, the disingenuousness of this party has become outrageous.

26:36 That homeless woman story is extremely exaggerated. It's not necessarily true. There's more to it than that. And Manafort's situation is, again, there's more to it. The judge scolded the Justice Department for overreach and a number of other issues and said that he, because they are the ones who recommended the high sentence. And then 47 months is nothing to sneeze at for a white collar crime. No, I know someone who went to jail for 48 months and it's ruined his life. It happens. And so this is just a complete, this is, I mean, they bitch and moan about Trump's populism. This is populism at its worst. You know, where you just appeal to the masses with, you know, simple generalities. And that's what she does. And she's just digging her, she's never going to get this nomination the way she's going.

27:31 She's got no, she's got no scruples. She says, P.S. Paul Manafort might be hoping a presidential pardon can be his get out of jail free card, but pardons and clemency are supposed to be about granting mercy to the powerless, not immunity for the powerful. And they shouldn't be used to cover up the truth. So let's be clear. Did she go on and on about Mark Rich after that? Let's be clear, if I'm elected president there won't be any pardons for anyone implicated in the investigations around Donald Trump. That's an interesting choice of words. Chip in now to help build our movement. Chip in. Chip in. Chip in. Chip in. Yes, chip in now, she says. Well, her chances are zero.

28:17 The Hillary's really the only real choice. She doesn't even show up in any of the polls. No, they won't do that because nobody wants Hillary to run again because they think she's going to lose. They're convinced of it. And even though my point was in the essay I wrote, which was available, linked in the newsletter, not this last one, but the one before, is that My point is that she's she never really ran twice. She ran first of all she ran for the nomination the first time lost the Barack Mm-hmm second time around she got further she ran for the nomination and won three times a charm lost to Donald Trump Hey, I can I can see the camp. Yes I can see the campaign three times a charm. Yeah, it would work. Oh

Paul Manafort Sentencing and Jussie Smollett Indictment

Paul Manafort was sentenced to 47 months in prison for bank and tax fraud, sparking debate over sentencing disparities. Simultaneously, actor Jussie Smollett faces a 16-count felony indictment in Chicago for allegedly filing a false police report regarding a staged assault.

29:08 She's gotten better every time, so you know. Wouldn't it be cool if Jussie Smollett got more jail time than Paul Manafort? Video surveillance and perpetrators turned accomplices had Chicago police peeling back the layers of actor Jussie Smollett's allegation of assault. Court documents released Friday show a grand jury indicted the Empire star on 16 felony counts relating to the January 29th incident, including disorderly conduct. Smollett had previously been charged with a single count of filing a false police report which carries the possibility of up to three years in prison. Smollett denies the allegations. Reuters reached out to his legal and media teams but neither could be reached for comment. My goodness, what a story. So he was making $100,000 an episode. I heard 60, okay, doesn't matter, something like that.

30:01 I heard a hundred. In the ballpark. It could have been 16, he wanted a hundred. Yeah. But you know this ultimately I think this is really... What a dumb idea, this guy's a dummy. Yeah but ultimately what he did and how it came out is I think is good for race relations. He's actually done a service without really even intending to. Because now people are a little more cautious on all sides of the equation. Well, that may be true. At least in Chicago. But you gotta know that according to the Washington Post, I mean, a third of all Trump supporters are just neo-Nazis. And this was explained... Where do all these people come from? There weren't that many neo-Nazis in the country before. This is Wapos Zainab.

30:45 Sal B. I think she's an op-ed writer, and she was on Morning Joe Yeah, that was a shitty recording Sorry, at least. Sorry about that. It didn't sound that bad when I listened to it the first time. Yeah, she says right there, but they were canvassing, they were out there searching and trying to talk to people in Trump country, Ohio. She's Trump country. And a third of them are neo-Nazis. And she just keeps on talking. No one interjects. No one says anything. Just not on that show. But that's Washington Post. Yeah, well, that's what they do. They're supposed to have a higher standard.

Venezuela Power Outage and Sabotage Allegations

President Nicolás Maduro blamed a massive nationwide power outage in Venezuela on high-level technological sabotage orchestrated by the United States. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo countered by blaming government mismanagement for the humanitarian crisis as blackouts paralyzed hospitals and transport.

31:39 I know, silly of me, but still. What are you thinking? Silly, silly of me. So let's talk about, so I'm now convinced that the, well, I got a couple of clips on Venezuela. I want to get out of here. Oh, good. I've got a comparative clips of Venezuela power outage on Democracy Now! and then the story with it. I cut it a little short on the NBC version, but can we play Venezuela power outage so we can catch up with Venezuela? In Venezuela, President Nicolás Maduro is blaming the U.S. government for a prolonged power outage that plunged most of the country into darkness Thursday. Maduro says anti-government saboteurs backed by the U.S. took the nation's main hydroelectric power station at the Guri Dam offline. The blackout compounded the misery of Venezuelans already enduring a severe economic crisis amidst crippling U.S.-led sanctions. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blamed Maduro's government for the outage and threatened regime change in a flurry of tweets, one of which read, "'No food, no medicine, now no power, next no Maduro.'"

32:42 She said regime regime regime regime regime regime change I had a I had a clip from Euronews Let me see it might be in the beginning that had a different that Maduro Maduro apparently said something different about the power outage It's still the u.s. Is problem, but not provocateurs. Let me see if it's where it is in this clip residents of the Venezuelan capital Caracas take to the streets to protest protest as power cuts gripping the country enter their third day. Some participants in this spontaneous demonstration say it's not directed against their president. It's because of the blackout, says this woman, not because of Maduro, not because of anything else. We're here calmly, peacefully, because we want electricity.

33:28 But others do include politics in their list of grievances. We have a complete lack of services, says this resident. We're tired of not having electricity. We're tired of not having food. We're tired of repression. We're tired of the transport system, all these calamities. President Nicolas Maduro told a rally of supporters that his government is doing everything possible to restore power. But he blamed the worst blackouts in decades on the United States back to opposition. Attacks of this type are made by the extreme right wing, he said. They are without any doubt the intellectual and material authors of this attack. It used high-level technology that only the United States possesses.

34:10 Oh, high-level technology. Yeah, secret technology. Hey, there's a switch, Bill. Can you throw it? You know, I... Did you know that General Electric invented the push-button switch? Did you know that, by the way? No, I didn't. It was high-level technology. Woo! He's insinuating like electromagnetic pulse or something like that. Is he? Yeah, of course he is. The public doesn't know what the hell an EMP is. Well, that's why he didn't say EMP, but if you search around you'll see that that's the conclusion a lot of people are drawing from his statement is that this was an EMP. But what people forget is that even under Chavez, he was saying stop showering so much because you're straining... heating up the water is straining the grid and they have black... rolling blackouts all the time. This is not new.

CHAPTER 13 / 35 Discussion

Media Terminology and Rubblization Theory in Venezuela

NBC News and other outlets have adopted the State Department's "interim president" terminology for Juan Guaidó, suggesting a coordinated propaganda strategy. Discussions also touch on the "rubblization" of countries to create lucrative rebuilding contracts for international firms.

nbc news· juan guaido· interim president· cia· venezuela

34:58 No, very poorly managed country. Well, let's listen to NBC. So I came away from this clip with the new knowledge that the State Department and the CIA are working together. Aren't they one and the same? Well, they shouldn't be because they have the different intelligence branches, but yeah the I became clear to me that NBC is Hanging in there with the with the CIA which they we think they do And it's all based on the way this this report goes down. I come to this conclusion now I'll do the reveal after the end of it

35:36 Crisis in Venezuela with continuing power outages and shortages of basic necessities today anger spilled into the streets of Caracas. NBC's Sarah Harmon has more on the worsening humanitarian crisis. Murderers they chant as these opposition protesters clash with riot police amidst escalating violence and a growing humanitarian crisis. Outrage over shortages of food Food, medicine and now electricity. Earlier this week a massive nationwide blackout left most of Venezuela in the dark. For this woman, no power means no respirator. Entire hospitals have gone dark. Embattled President Nicolas Maduro blamed the blackouts on American imperialism.

36:23 tweeting, he vows to fight the brutal aggression against our people, adding, we will never surrender. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo blames Maduro for the humanitarian crisis, tweeting on Thursday, no food, no medicine, now no power. Next, Noman Duro. The U.S. has slapped sanctions and visa restrictions on key Maduro officials after recognizing opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president. Without it, and particularly specifically the sanctions, without the sanctions it would be impossible for the opposition to move forward. What are we going to do? So what I got out of that was the use of the word interim president. Oh, good point. So?

37:14 So they adopted the only NBC, by the way, I've never heard anybody else do it. They go do all kinds of, maybe they're all starting to adopt it, but I didn't hear it anywhere else. Adopt a state department's recommendation of using interim president. And that is because this is, if we can assume the CIA is involved in this, they would have told that was part of some strategy. You have to use this terminology for some propagandistic reason down the road. And NBC just did it. So there you go. So where do you think that takes us? Where do you think it goes? I mean, this is just not working. I have no idea how important or not important that is. This is not working. They want to make it look like it's not a coup. Yeah, but how do you do that without it being a coup? I have no idea. They've never done that. They haven't done this well since, I forget,

38:12 They did this I think in the 50s they may have pulled a few of these stunts and made them work and they still think they can do it but I don't know if their strategies are good anymore. It always backfires, I mean none of this has worked out. I mean they never were even able to remove Chavez. Right, Chavez is an interviewer. Well, Chavez thinks they finally killed him. That's how they did it. Yes, well, yeah. With a prick. No, he went out and said the US gave me cancer. Yeah. Yeah, just to make it more interesting. Hmm. Well, I find the lack of action concerning because the longer this draws out... Oh, yeah. ...the more severe whatever happens is going to be.

38:55 Well, it's a grub alizing situation. I don't know. I'm still I'm still debating with myself whether the rubble is a show of the Middle East and now it could be Venezuela next if they really intend to rubble eyes because I think our original theory was that rubble izing these countries just turning them into and you see the pictures anyone could just look at them. the accumulated photos. These place countries have to be almost rebuilt from scratch, which is big construction contracts. There's a lot of money in rebuilding someplace. And I think we always assumed that that was behind it all, but they haven't even done it. It's like really pathetic. So he was just rubble eyes and leave. Maybe you have to do some kind of some, you know, some attack, but it can't be a kinetic.

39:49 It has to be something odd that, you know, just, you know, a building crumbles on top of them. You know, can't have an explosion. I know, maybe... I don't know. They just need new blood. Yes, yes. Well, maybe they can do it with... Space Force! Yeah, well maybe they can't. Well I'll tell you why because Space Force we're we're arming up we're getting ready. Not a meteor. We're getting ready for space there was the NASA administrator Jim what's his name?

CHAPTER 14 / 35 Discussion

Space Force Origins and GPS Dependency Risks

NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine clarified that while NASA remains separate from defense, the proposed Space Force is essential for protecting critical infrastructure. He warned that the U.S. is dangerously dependent on GPS timing signals for banking, power grids, and telecommunications.

space force· nasa· jim bridenstine· gps· national security

40:25 Bridenstine he was interviewed on NPR he did calls and stuff and he's a very animated fellow as he speaks and He gave a little historical background on Space Force. What about the Space Force? Yeah, a great question. So a couple of things number one, by the way, we all know this is where Q John what? What about the Space Force? Yeah, if you're quiet, then you'll hear you Q. What about the Space Force? Yeah, a great question. So Oh, that's not a great question. How is, how, let's stop the thing. I know what you're getting me to go on about. I'm not gonna scream about this, but how is, how is the, how is, what about the Space Force? Oh, that's a great question. How is that in a million years a great question? Which brings me back to the reason I got off on that jag to begin with. I still believe someone somewhere gave a seminar

41:24 telling you to say thank you when somebody asks a question, you always say thank you. If somebody asks you a question in a big auditorium, oh, thank you for that question. Or you can say that's a great question, compliment them on the question. I'm convinced of this, that this was in some seminar somewhere and a bunch of people adopted it. Regardless, we all agree, it's just not a great question. But we'll listen to the answer no matter what. What about the Space Force? Yeah, great question. So a couple of things. Number one, NASA does not do national security or defense. We never have, we never will. That's not in our agenda. We partner with Russia. We partner with other countries, maybe some countries that are not always friendly with the United States. We have at this point partners with over 120 countries on the globe.

42:11 and over 800 different cooperative agreements. So what we don't want to do is we don't want to delve into national security. When NASA was created by Eisenhower, it was intentionally kept separate from the Department of Defense. That being said, and I'm committed to that, just so everybody knows, that being said, when I was in the House of Representatives, We voted on the Space Force numerous times. I voted on it on the Strategic Forces Subcommittee. I voted on it on the Full Armed Services Committee, and I voted on it on the floor of the House of Representatives. It got strong bipartisan support in all of those. And in fact, it got 344 votes in the House of Representatives, which doesn't happen these days, but it happened when we voted on the Space Force as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. Isn't that interesting?

42:56 You'd think it was just something Trump dreamed up and everyone just called him a nut job for it. Space Force! Apparently this was something that everyone all liked before Trump came along. Oh yeah, but now Trump likes it so it's no good. Yeah, no good. Now, the guy also said something else which I had to think about and it kind of makes sense but the vulnerability is astronomical if really true and the claim here is that GPS So the actual GPS satellites, that without those GPS satellites in the United States, life as we know it would come to a grinding halt. It would affect a few things for sure, farming. Okay, what else would it affect? Well, it would affect farming, I think it would affect transportation a little bit, but I think that's correctable.

43:50 I think just farming is the only thing that would really affect what... Our very way of life has been elevated by space capabilities to the point now where we are dependent on space in a way that most Americans don't understand. The way we communicate, we talk about Dish Network, DirecTV, XM Radio, Internet broadband from space. Think about my home state of Oklahoma. A lot of rural folks there. If there's no Internet broadband from space, there is no Internet for them. When you think about not just how we communicate, how we navigate with GPS, how we produce food. I talked about how we're increasing crop yields right now for certain parts of the United States, eventually all over the world. All of these things are dependent on space. Now, here's what's important to note. Every banking transaction in this country is dependent on a timing signal from GPS.

44:38 Every banking transaction in this country is dependent on a timing signal from GPS. So if there's no timing signal from GPS, guess what? There's no banking. In other words, there's no milk in your grocery store. That is an existential threat to the United States of America to the point where China has declared space the American Achilles heel. And they're moving out to deny us the use of space if and when they want to. They've also recognized that that timing signal is necessary for the regulation of flows of electricity on the power grid and the regulation of flows of data on the terrestrial wireless networks. We are absolutely dependent on space for our very way of life, and it absolutely must be protected. So I'm a big advocate for it, but I will also tell you that's not what NASA does, and I'm committed to making sure NASA stays separate from the Department of Defense.

CHAPTER 15 / 35 Discussion

GPS Rollover Event and Financial System Vulnerabilities

A GPS "rollover" event scheduled for April 6, 2019, is drawing comparisons to Y2K due to potential software glitches in older receivers. Experts are investigating how this 1024-week cycle reset might impact global financial transactions that rely on precise satellite timestamps.

gps rollover· y2k· financial sector· timestamps· april 6 2019

45:27 You know, this what you muttered there. Yeah, I agree. This sounds like total bullcrap to me. Well, let's look at it. I mean, here's why there's evidence of it being bullcrap because of his wordage, the way he said it. He says every when he says every, they say most, he said most. OK, well, that's possible. But he didn't say they said every banking transaction is dependent on GPS because of time and signals something. But does that mean I go into the bank and I cash a check? Or I go into the bank, I say, can you get, I got 520s, can you give me 100? That is a banking transaction in a bank. Right. So that's not dependent on anything. Well, yes, it may be. And I'll tell you... How? How is... Well, if you give me a second, I'll tell you what, because I researched it, I'll tell you what the literature says.

46:15 The literature says that a precise timestamp is necessary. The claim is that all these financial systems, that's the claim, that all financial systems use a GPS timestamp because if you, as an example, withdrew $100, you got it right at the bank teller, you could have another John C. Dvorak withdrawing the same amount if the timestamp wasn't exactly accurate. If there's a two-minute window or second window even, this is again, this is not my opinion, then fraud could occur and they're implying that indeed all financial transaction timestamps are ultimately GPS fed. That's what he said. No, no. He said all financial transactions, not timestamps. Right, okay.

47:08 But I don't even believe that, it seems so out of the ordinary. And wow, what a... I don't know how we got to the milk not being delivered, but... That's quite if it's true, which means it was big If it's big, yes, it's ridiculous I mean if it could I would say that there's there's probably more dependencies than you and I know about I'm sure they're because they're for the purposes of convenience and ease Mm-hmm because there's other ways of doing these things. Sure. You know, it's like ISDN is dead, you know because there's newer cheaper ways of doing it and I So that's but you can always go back to the old systems. It would just take a while. It would be disruptive Yeah, I mean ATMs worked fine before we had all kinds of GPS I mean the GPS was there but I don't think ATMs were were hooked up to him back in the day in the 80s. And there's still such things as tellers who can hand count money. Right, but they still when they hand you the money there's still a record an electronic record made. Yeah.

48:07 Anyway, there's ways around it doesn't have to be based on GPS. Oh no, I agree. All the clocks are gonna stop too? Well, you know what? You and I are not qualified to answer that question. I think we have dudes named Ben who can. He probably doesn't know either. This is too deep. Yeah, well we have dudes named Ben out there who can inform us. I'm sure we have people working in the financial sector. We're only using logic. Well, let me add this to the mix. April 6, 2019 is it will have been what is it I think it's 17 or 19 years like 1024 weeks since August 21st 1999 when older GPS

48:56 receivers that have older software they roll over and they start counting again it's kind of like a y2k for GPS yeah oh yeah and you know there's already some some security experts out there saying well I'm just not gonna fly on April 6th yeah sure hey you know what why risk it neither am I I'm fine I only just heard of it as again. I was researching this I bump in this article like that's just that's I didn't know about this They should make a much bigger deal of this what an upgrade moment. What a good very books like to do with yes, okay? Yes, you know kinds of contracts exactly a bunch of money and then sneak off into the dark. Yes exactly It's a perfect opportunity, but no anyway I would love to hear from our our sysadmins in the financial sector and developers who understand this stuff let us know also about that April 6 I

CHAPTER 17 / 35 Discussion

Justice Democrats and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Casting Allegations

New reports suggest Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was "cast" for her role in Congress through an audition process held by the Justice Democrats. Her chief of staff, Saikat Chakrabarti, has drawn scrutiny for his admiration of Subhash Chandra Bose, a controversial figure in Indian history.

alexandria ocasio-cortez· justice democrats· saikat chakrabarti· cenk uygur· subhash chandra bose

57:49 I was hoping you'd have some things. I saw this guy who did a little breakdown on the Young Turks and the AOC. Yeah, you saw Mr. Reagan, that guy. Well, hold on a second. I saw this. Everyone starts tweeting, look, it's proof AOC is a puppet. There's no proof of anything. But we played a clip from this two months ago. From Mr. Reagan? Mr. Reagan. Yeah, that's the guy who's that's the personality who rolled this out. He calls himself Mr. Reagan. Then you're talking about something else. Let's listen to what you have. I have the other. I don't know what you're talking about. Whatever you're talking about, I want to hear it. Okay. So this is a full documentary that the Justice Democrats themselves put together. Oh, yeah.

58:42 And which is not about that. OK, good. Well, I'll do this. This is about a guy blowing the first of all, he he I only have part two and three of my three parter because part one, I couldn't find. But. I'll tell you what part one is. Part one, he's this guy, this guy's got a big mole on his face and he calls himself Mr. Reagan and he does a very kind of a slightly overproduced video podcast-like thing. He gets about a million views. Half a million. This is... he plays clips from what I'm talking about? No. Okay, I'll shut up. Go ahead. Lead in. He didn't play any... the only thing he did is he had some videos of the Cortez

59:27 promotional video but he knows most of them is he's just talking he's not playing a lot of clips At all. Okay, but he brings out a few new facts I thought would be worth listening to but let me give you the part one part where he claims that Cortez was an actress who was auditioned for the job, right? And he can say there's three or four of these people up from these Justice Democrats who he sees as an evil force even though if you really break down what he what he's talking about it's it might be an evil force, but they're already overextended with just this one woman, let alone the other boneheads that are supposedly Justice Democrats. But I like some of the stuff he's unearthed or uncovered just some basic, some basic,

1:00:16 Background or on these on this group and what they're up to he claims you're out to take over the world I keep running and running people until until somehow chunk is going to be you know the king of Though he's not involved anymore, but he might still be but let's play mr.. Reagan on AOC part 2 2018 was just the beginning. They'll redouble their efforts in 2020, 2022, 2024, at which time I am 100% convinced that they will run somebody for president. For the 2018 elections, the Justice Democrats endorsed 79 candidates. 26 of them won their primary elections. 7 of them won in the general election and are now in Congress.

1:00:57 Most of these people's names I can't even pronounce. Raul Grajalva, Ro Khanna, Ayan Pressley, Pramila Jayapal, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Of these seven, three were chosen through the audition process and are, as far as I can tell, puppets of the Justice Democrats, Saikat Chakrabarty, and Nijank Uyghur. These candidates are Ayan Pressley, Rashida Tlaib, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Imagine if they run not 79 candidates, but 200 or 400 or a thousand. At their current rate of success, they would get 88 House seats. And if they improve their techniques, they might get more, including Senate seats. Just as a point of order, he's racist. I can't even pronounce these names. That's kind of douchey. That's racist. That's a dick. Okay, he's racist. Yeah.

1:01:49 So he has this thesis and I just the reason I like this is because I like the fact that it lines up with my thinking about AOC and he says that she's so scripted she doesn't do her own tweets everything she does is written for her and when she goes off script. Yes, she goes out just so you know this is exactly what I was talking about this is the video I played clips from two months ago just so you know this is but This isn't a documentary, it's this guy behind a desk. No, I know, but it's all... if you look at the whole video that he did... Oh, it's the same material is what you're saying? Yes, it's the same basic material. Okay, well I'm not going to argue that. Now, I don't know that this part three then has new material or not, but I didn't know about the... Is this where he goes back and forth between what someone on the video says and then shows her saying the same thing? No. Oh, okay. Well, alright, let's see what you got.

1:02:45 play it. Open Borders guy who was once a fellow at the Open Borders Foundation, which is George Soros' organization. And he seems to be the least extreme of these guys. Cenk Uygur calls his organization the Young Turks. The Young Turks is named after a group of Turkish revolutionaries formed in 1911 who slaughtered 1.5 million people in the Armenian Genocide.

1:03:21 And by the way, no one complained when Rod Stewart made a song about it. So we know where Jenks' influence is at. Saikat Chakraborty is influenced by this guy, Subhash Chandra Bose. How do we know this? Because he wears this Che Guevara style shirt with Subhash Chandra Bose's face on it in most of his videos. That seems like a pretty deliberate choice. At first I actually thought it was his own face. I was like, why is this guy wearing a shirt with his own face on it? crazy narcissistic. But then I figured out it was this Subhash guy. So who is Subhash Chandra Bose? He was the violent complement to the non-violent Mahatma Gandhi. Yes, the legendary Gandhi. Whilst Gandhi was trying to expel the British from India non-violently, this guy was like,

1:04:07 No, let's start a war and let's kill them all. Actually, it was worse than that. Much, much, much worse. Subhas called himself a socialist, but he is quoted as saying, our philosophy should be a synthesis between Nazism and communism. Another important thing that we need to recognize about Subhas is that he was an anti-colonialist. Now, we're not super familiar with this political perspective here in the US, but in India, anti-colonialism causes deep resentment to this day. This is explained in the documentary film 2016 Obama's America. In this film Dinesh D'Souza explains anti-colonialism and shows how these ideas influence Barack Obama because, and this is the scary part, the United States is founded on colonialism. To the anti-colonialist, the US is an evil empire that colonized North America. The United States is the enemy and is to be fought.

1:05:01 is to be resisted, torn down. This is the guy that Saikat Chakrabarti, AOC's chief of staff, wears on his t-shirt. A pro-violence, anti-colonial socialist who dreamed of a Nazi communist government. This is the man behind the curtain. Okay. So I thought that was new information. No, that is new information. That's new. So that's the... Haas? Who's the... The idol here? Subhash Chandra Bose, I think is how you pronounce it. Yeah. And the guy wears his t-shirt with his picture on it. This is the Sheikh Rehbarah t-shirt. Yes, I've seen it. Equivalency for India. It's interesting because when I saw the video that I have a little clip of that and I'll play it. I also saw the guys like, does he have his shirt of himself on? Is that what? And I saw the same thing. Yeah.

CHAPTER 18 / 35 Discussion

Political Scripting and the Justice Democrat Strategy

Critics argue that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez operates under a highly scripted model managed by the Justice Democrats, who target weak establishment Democrats for replacement. This strategy is viewed as a significant threat to the traditional Democratic Party leadership under Nancy Pelosi.

aoc· nancy pelosi· george soros· political strategy· manchurian candidate

1:05:59 Huh, well that's good. Well, Mr. What's his name? Mr. Rogers? Mr. Reagan. Mr. Reagan. No, that was good. He's got a Ronald Reagan cup and it says Mr. Reagan in the corner with a picture of Ronald Reagan. So what a lot of people have been tweeting about is the video behind it, which as I said, you know, we were talking about two months ago. There is, this is a longer clip than the one I had at the time and It does confirm a lot of theories that you've had, the Keeper has had, who is adamantly insistent that there's no way she's writing her tweets, and of course she's a marketing professional, so she recognizes this, you recognize that as well.

1:06:38 And she was nominated. She was cast like The Bachelor. Back in 2016, we put out a call for nominations, trying to capture the diversity of background, of experience of the American electorate, the people that aren't currently represented in office. We got over 10,000 nominations. Out of those 10,000 nominations, we found Alexandria. My brother told me that he had sent my nomination in the summer, but I was like, literally working out of a restaurant and I was like, there's no way. Her profile is not what you'd think of as someone who should run for office, right? I grew up with a really politically engaged and attuned family. We always were debating politics, talking about things, but we were never

1:07:22 involved in the formal structures of politics. We saw these signs of someone who's willing to sacrifice their own future for the good of others. So Izzy, one of the people that was working with us at the time, called and it was scheduled for 20-30 minutes and it went maybe an hour and a half. Like you hadn't thought about running for office or anything at that point, right? No. I knew that I had to do something. We would call people up and kind of walk them through the platform. She was like, well, would you be open entering this kind of nomination process? And I was like, sure, because that's not a, will you run for Congress? We felt the passion in her voice. She really wanted to fight for the big thing. And she got on a bunch of video calls to meet some of the other candidates that at the time were thinking about running. There were so many other amazing candidates. The entire time I didn't think I was going to be

1:08:07 In my brain I was like this isn't gonna happen, this isn't gonna happen until Izzy called and she was like hey do you want to go to Kentucky in two weeks? And I was like... Yeah she was picked, she was nominated by her brother. Picked. And then trained in Kentucky. We invited people to an in-person summit in Kentucky when we started getting serious about who we were going to run. Kentucky was, I mean, I found it at least for me, it was a spiritual experience. That was a spiritual experience. It was. What happened was just magic. All these people from all over the country, incredible community leaders, talking about similar problems they all face, and talking to each other, engaging, pumping each other up.

1:08:46 pumping us up, you know? That was like a super pivotal moment. I felt like I just remember the first day we've created this network of people that put movement first. Feeling like it was a movement and that it wasn't about me was the most convincing aspect. Being like oh, yeah, I'll do this because it's a bunch of crazy people and this will be fun Because all of you got into it's like movement first that's defined I mean your actions since you got elected and everyone else is like this is weird. Why he does weird stuff? Well, it's because it's a different you didn't come in So there you go. I think you are totally right. You call her an idiot, which if you listen to what she's saying and she's very good at what she does, but she just sucks up the information these

1:09:37 the Justice Democrat leadership gives her. They write scripts for her. We've seen her reading them. They write the tweets for her. And as you, as Mr. Reagan pointed out, yeah, when, when she goes off script, then she sounds like an idiot. And so they try to keep her on script and it's more like not puppet is more like Manchurian candidate. I don't know. It's like some kind of, well, she's going to assassinate anybody. Hold on. You never know. She gets close to people. Now, This is the media's fault. The media should be making her go off script because if they're just gonna listen to her talking points, so they're provided to her and she's a good, she can memorize like anybody. Then they're doing a poor piss poor job of bringing this out because she is.

1:10:23 Quite humorous when she goes off script. Yes now the the Democrat Party and you Jen chink Uyghur chunk was in part of that and the other videos talking about how it was that they that they They target other Democrats that seem to be weak. I mean, they're strong Democrats, but they're in places where they're always winning and it's about time somebody stepped in. They're pushing established old politicals out of office using this strategy. And I don't know why, but nobody's equated this with what the Tea Party tried to do, especially after they were co-opted by old line conservatives from the South.

1:11:10 which ruined the Tea Party, of course, and you don't hear about them much anymore. It was the Ron Paul thing. And I think that will happen to these guys too. I don't think this is Mr. Reagan. I think he's a little bit skittish about it. But anyway, the point is, is that The Democrats have to know that they're being picked off one after the other. And according to Chunk, it doesn't even matter if they're, or I think Mr. Reagan kind of talked about this, if there's a socialist representative that is in line with all their beliefs and everything they want to vote for,

1:11:51 But it's not, but they're not part of the Justice Democrat model. No, they don't count. They go after them too. Yes. Because they want to just get their people in. Democrats have to know this is go. What is Nancy Pelosi doing about this? This is a huge threat to the party. I don't think she's put all the pieces together yet. You know, I looked at the just dumb ish. She's not that dumb. We know that she's incredibly smart and she's manipulative and she knows what's going on. She has to know what's going on. I'm not buying that. Well, I'm I'm just telling you when I looked at the justice Democrats and you look at their, you know, there's a there a 501

1:12:27 3 I think 513 C. I'm not sure well anyway. They're not they're a nonprofit and They have about two million dollars reported so that means you can't run this operation on two million dollars I just don't believe that I don't that I mean you get a lot with with an AOC with free media Guy said one of their main guys is an old Soros.

I'm fortunate to have access to very good hospice program as I transition from therapeutic care, chemo, radiation and drugs, to palliative care.

1:15:53 which is for pain control and home nursing support. As a part of getting my affairs in order exercise, I've terminated my monthly financial support for charities as well as several podcasters including No Agenda that I have valued. My husband has his own set of people and programs that he supports and I choose not to saddle him with the expectation to continue to contribute to mine. I am sending a final contribution your way with an F cancer request and a dose of karma. Best wishes to you and John as you navigate the future.

Anyway, no agenda come for the product recommendations to stay for the media deconstruction and such and such. Keep up the awesome work. No jingles, no karma. All right, Eric, I'll see you at the roundtable. Looking forward to it.

Climate Change Immigration Logic and Rotterdam Architecture

A satirical argument suggests that climate change activists should oppose immigration because moving people from low-CO2 countries to the high-consumption U.S. increases global emissions. Separately, the modern architecture and commerce of Rotterdam are praised as superior to the tourist-heavy Amsterdam.

That R in my font. Arnus Selman's. Arnus Selman's. My font on my spreadsheet, the R. Yeah, it's running. I see it. Bump right into the, and I'm back a mile when I'm reading this.

1:19:30 333, 336, Telen Estonia, I think that's Estonia. Oh yeah, I was wondering where that was. Yeah, I think it is Estonia. Yeah, one of the highest tech communities in the world, by the way. Jobs karma jobs jobs jobs and jobs You said the I got a big tech community so I was in Rotterdam for the past two days Not only do they have an interesting and very vibrant and growing tech community. I would go so far as to say that

1:20:08 If you visit the Netherlands and you land at Schiphol Airport, you want to know where to go, get on the Intercity Direct, 20 minutes, go to Rotterdam, you'll enjoy it a lot more than Amsterdam. The architecture, just everything is outstanding. I know, Christina took me out around, it's just as cool, the people, you know, eating, drinking outside, you know, there's all kinds of restaurants, just amazingly interesting and very world-famous architecture. It's better than Amsterdam. Sorry I had to say it. Well, the architecture though, you're talking about the more modern buildings. Yeah, oh very modern. Yeah. Rotterdam is a huge difference to Amsterdam. Completely different. Yeah. It's really more jumping, it's the real commerce center. It is, yep.

1:21:00 And Amsterdam is more of a tourist touristy place. You know, Amsterdam is just a bunch of Brits going to see the red light district and puke. That's all that it is. Just my opinion. There's an element of that. Yes, that's true. From my experience. Yeah. See, you know, you know what's up. Jonathan Greenlee, 332.9. This reminds me of a story, but I'll pass on it. Jonathan Greenlee, 332.99. He's in the United States somewhere. The last show was excellent and you deserve the surplus of value I enjoyed from it. I had a realization during the last show, you guys almost got there yourselves, but I wanted to put a nice ribbon around it and lay it out there. A true progressive, this is the funny bit.

1:21:50 This is a bit. Oh, it's a bit. Okay, good. I believe it's a bit and it's a good one. A true progressive concerned with man-made climate change via CO2 emissions should not encourage migration into the country from poorer countries via any means, legally or illegally. People come to America to adopt a richer, more opportune, prone American way of life with our high level of infrastructure and a heady culture of consumption, no one is going to come here just to sit in a shack in the woods. Well, some may end up in that way by misfortune, but it's not the intent. In 2014, the United States emitted 16.5 tons of CO2 per

1:22:30 per capita. Mexico emitted only 3.9, Guatemala 1.2, and Honduras 1.1 tons of CO2. They're bringing that dirty climate change. Per capita. These are a mere shadow of the US level. Encouraging immigration from these countries is encouraging increased US style of consumption and an increase in global CO2. If 66,450 illegal crossing attempts intercepted in February 2019 has not been stopped, we would have expected CO2 of at least 800,000 tons per year, every year, not including future offspring.

1:23:13 That one month's worth of attempted immigrants would have produced the same amount of CO2 as an additional 1,757 flying one way from New York to L.A. once a month every month. Therefore, I call for an immediate resolution in the House of Pelosi to denounce illegal immigration. AOC, don't eat me, please. Two to the head. And Pelosi, jobs, jobs, jobs, because she has work to do. Don't eat me! Jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs. That was a good bit. It was a good bit and there's actually some logic to it. I think he's I think the point could be made if you just have something thrown at you. But it's not like the borders of the United States. It's where CO2 stops and it's still around the globe. It doesn't increase. Oh, I guess it does because they're eating more and making. Yeah, I guess it does. Yeah.

Pi Day Celebrations and Peerage Map Updates

1:25:03 This lets me cross the threshold for Barron. Oh, he does. That's not on my list. Hold on a second. Sir Crash EMT.

1:27:27 I don't see it on the peerage map. Who maintains the peerage map? I don't know, that's the problem. We have our third baby boy coming out on 426, so I would love... by the way, the peerage map needs some sort of... the problem with the peerage map is there's so many people in certain concentrated areas that you can't get to them, you can't click deep enough. Oh, right. Well, we've got to find out who's maintaining that. Yeah, well... Can you guys make my protectorate official? Oh yeah. We have our third baby boy coming on 426, so we'd love a human resource karma. New jobs karma, no need to read this, John. And let me see what he says. Ah, about quantum computing. We'd love my thoughts on quantum computing.

Wait, wait, we can give you an invisible no agenda hat. Okay, it's in the mail.

Yeah, really? He was on the Black Crows for example. Oh Okay, for example. Hmm Wow

1:40:41 And even though he's prolific with eight albums of original music, no one buys records anymore, so he makes his living on the road with live shows. I've seen him in Austin, actually, I think. It finally dawned on me that not contributing to no agenda is the equivalent of not supporting your favorite musicians. And a world without music or podcasts would be a real bummer. Thank you for the show and please keep it up. May I request a WTC7 and an Obama no, no, no, Adam's family style. I don't know if you can access that.

CHAPTER 24 / 35 Discussion

Greta Thunberg and the Global Climate Strike

Greta Thunberg is leading a global school strike for climate change scheduled for March 15th, encouraging students to skip school in protest. Thunberg shared her personal history of depression linked to climate anxiety, sparking debate over the psychological impact of environmental fear-mongering on children.

greta thunberg· climate strike· truancy· depression· sweden

1:44:10 Indeed. Friday. Friday is a big, big day. Friday, March 15th. Climate strike! All children of the world are going to strike and be truants and leave school. Strike for climate change. This is spearheaded by, I think pretty much still recognized as the figurehead of the current

1:44:47 child climate movement Greta Thunberg and she is the the prod is she now 15 or 13 I think she's I think she's 15. She might be 13. I don't remember. When you see her, and I just saw her recently... She looks 11. She looks 11, yes. So she was interviewed for a Swedish publication in English, nicely enough. One of our producers sent that along. I pulled a couple of quick clips here. Here she is promoting, of course, the climate strike on the 15th. That is this coming Friday. What's happening next Friday?

1:45:27 Next Friday, March 15th, the school strike is going to be even bigger than it is now. There's going to be hundreds of thousands of children or more that are going to be striking for the climate. It's like a big global international school strike, so I'm very excited for that. And I think it's incredible that the school strike has spread so far and so fast. That is very hopeful, I think. For now there's been hundreds of thousands of school children school striking for the climate and saying that why should we study for a future we might not have? There you go. Why should we study for a future we may not have? Yes, this is the child abuse that's taking place.

1:46:10 Her background is very interesting, fits right in if you look what her parents do, their academics and they're involved in all kinds of arts and sciences and they clearly have programmed this young child to be the figurehead and it's worked so well she just won a very prestigious award. You've been chosen Woman of the Year. What does it mean to you? It's always great when you're, you know, You're 15, you look 11, woman of the year. You've been chosen woman of the year. What does it mean to you? I think it's unbelievable. It's incredible. I never would have imagined this. And also I think it's very hopeful that a climate person is elected to be this.

1:46:54 Now here's for encouraging truancy. Yes, he gets woman of the year. Really? Yep. Yes Well, she's done more than just encouraged truancy, but this is it's definitely the cherry on top now Here's the part that saddened me a lot She was not always this outspoken well-spoken Climate person as she would call herself or woman of the year. In fact She was very very depressed And you can only imagine why. You have 270,000 followers on Twitter. But your life hasn't been like this your whole life. Tell us what it was like when you were 11. When I was 11, I became ill. I fell into a depression and I stopped eating and I stopped talking because I was so depressed and I stopped going to school and it was very

1:47:45 hard time for me and it was one of the biggest cause of my depression was the climate crisis because I thought that everything is just so wrong and I became so depressed and I thought that there's why there's no meaning to live and like that. And so I became very depressed and then how I got out of that depression was that I thought to myself there is so much to live for, I can do so much good with my life and I'm going to use my life to try to make a difference and I try to do that still. So politicians if you think it has no effect what you're doing

1:48:24 How you are putting fear into young children's minds. This is the result that she got lucky She had her parents pulled her out turned her into some kind of symbol of this it may not even be true I don't know I mean, but why would I doubt her? But that's pretty severe if this has happened to 11 year old kids are going into depression Don't want to eat don't want to go to school because of the climate should you really be fear-mongering the way you are? I find this disturbing and it's not very disturbing you're completely right about this. Here's an interesting note from Nicholas who attends Notre Dame.

CHAPTER 25 / 35 Discussion

Climate Change Anti-Natalism and Israel Statistics Correction

A philosophy class at Notre Dame debated the ethics of having children in the face of climate change, with over 50% of students reconsidering parenthood. Separately, a correction was issued regarding the percentage of Jewish representation in Congress versus the influence of AIPAC.

notre dame· anti-natalism· aipac· israel· population statistics

1:49:02 I heard your recent discussion on climate change believers deciding not to have children. I had an experience the other day which included this topic. My philosophy class has weekly discussion meetings in small groups. Last Wednesday, the debate topic between two groups of students was, you should not have children. The support side argued that because of climate change you should not bring children into the world. They said the only way for the earth to survive is for us to leave. Even better, we poll before and after the debate to see if our minds have changed. Guess what? Over 50% of the class changed their minds that you should reconsider having children due to climate change. Adam and John, the brainwashing is everywhere. I'll keep you updated if I see anything else.

1:49:51 Thank you for your courage, producer Nicholas. Yeah, this is what's happening. It's Notre Dame. Isn't that like an Ivy League school? Well, it depends. No. Okay. Notre Dame is not an Ivy League school. It's not a shitty school. It's an elite school. It's an elite school, yeah. Well, that's good. We'll take him out of the gene pool. Actually, it's a plus. Yeah, take yourself out of the gene pool, you idiots. Net-net, it's a plus. Because you're dumb. That's the reason you're not... I got a note from Mac Dingle. He's just down on the border. He lives on the border. Texas.

1:50:30 I want to confirm that people have crossed the river in between Eagle Pass, my hometown, and Del Rio, Texas, my entire life. Ranchers know this problem all too well. We'd go fishing on the riverbanks at friends' ranches and always run into empty trash bags that once held a dry change of clothes. There is no wall, just an insanely dangerous river. It is essentially a moat. A cousin of mine worked for a guy picking up groups of illegal aliens at the border and dropping them off at a local motel. Not sure what happens after that, but I'm sure you can fill in the blanks. Tons of things like that going on at the border. There you go.

1:51:15 I was going to ask you, I was going to make a point that someone made the other day, you know, with this warming or cooling, whatever, climate change, ultimately it's about whatever is happening to the climate, it's affecting the temperature and that is what will kill people, right? Because that will cause all kinds of horrible follow-on effects. And as one of the clips that we played some time ago pointed out, no one has ever taken a look at the climate from how could it is it possible this is a positive thing? Well, here's my question. What is the ideal temperature for the earth? I mean is there an ideal temperature for Amsterdam versus Rotterdam? There's differences. One's a little warmer than the other. Yeah. Is there an ideal temperature for Texas? Is there an ideal temperature for the North Pole? It would be good to know. Or at ideal? I'll tell you what it is. Put a thermometer in San Diego, that's it. Why do you say? Because that's the best climate I've ever been in.

1:52:17 Yeah, but you can't have all kinds of things in... you can't have everything of the world if it's all the same temperature. You're asking a hypothetical question. I'm giving you a bullcrap answer. I appreciate it. Thank you. It's appreciated. It worked perfectly. I made a mistake on the previous episode and it's because I had watched a video and our knights in Israel got all freaked out when I said Jews are represented by, represent 3% of the population of America. And what came out of my mouth was, but they're 60% representation in Congress, to which our Israeli knights went, holy crap, the Nazis have really done a number on Adam.

CHAPTER 26 / 35 Discussion

Ilhan Omar Anti-Semitism Controversy and AIPAC Influence

Congresswoman Ilhan Omar faced intense criticism for comments regarding "allegiance to a foreign country" and the influence of AIPAC. While House leadership drafted a resolution condemning hate, progressives defended Omar, arguing that criticism of Israeli lobbying should not be equated with anti-Semitism.

ilhan omar· nancy pelosi· aipac· anti-semitism· foreign policy

1:53:07 What I meant to say is 60% of them are influenced by AIPAC in Congress, which it may have declined a little bit recently, but it may also represent America's feelings in general about Israel. I don't know. But this whole thing comes in this backdrop of the horrible anti-Semitic things that Elon Omar, you know, also a freshman in Congress, What she said and you know I don't know if it was just me if it was just over here was just seen international But they really would only talk about the horrible things. She said without actually mentioning what she said and they just show a like a B-roll of a video of her sitting on a panel and what looks like a an alley in Mardi Gras It's a very very odd video

1:53:58 So I went searching for what she actually said, but first let's play Nancy Pelosi who, you know, we were talking about her earlier how she's not grabbing onto these uh, so, uh, Justice Democrats, uh, she apologized or was, I would say she was apologetic and protective of what Elon said. Whatever Elon said, here's how Nancy Pelosi, uh, kind of swept it under the carpet. She hasn't apologized. Does she need to apologize? Well, maybe she may need to explain that she did not. It's up to her to explain, but I do not believe that she understood the full weight of the words. When you're an advocate out there, as I was, so I appreciate all the enthusiasm that comes into our Congress. I've told you that before. That was me pushing a stroller and carrying those signs. So I understand how advocates come in.

1:54:53 with their enthusiasms. But when you cross that threshold into Congress, your words weigh much more than when you're shouting at somebody outside. And I feel confident that her words were not based on any anti-Semitic attitude, but that she didn't have a full appreciation of how they landed on other people where these words have a history and a cultural impact that might have been unknown to her. So what Nancy said, which is actually really apologetic for anti-Semitism, if that's indeed what it was, by saying, well, she really just didn't understand the impact it would have on certain people from a cultural background. I'm not sure, I mean, that sounds really bull crappy to me.

1:55:42 But we only on the NO Agenda show can we do something that the mainstream media will not. And I've chopped this down, I've chopped out the pauses, but let us just listen to the incredibly offending, offensive speech from Ilan Omar and let's stop... Are you being sarcastic? No, I'm being factual as to what people said. This is how they were talking, the incredibly offensive speech from Ilan Omar. I can't because what I'm saying is I'd like us to listen together to determine if it was indeed incredibly anti-Semitic. And I think it takes both of us to analyze this. Okay, go. The dehumanization and the silencing of a particular pain and suffering of people should not be okay and normal.

1:56:32 And you can't be in the practice of humanizing and uplifting the suffering of one if you're not willing to do that for everyone. Okay, so far nothing. So for me, I know that when I hear my Jewish constituents or friends or colleagues about Palestinians who don't want safety or Palestinians who aren't deserving, I stay focused on that, the actual debate about what that process should look like. I never go in the dark place of saying, here's a Jewish person, they're talking about Palestinians, Palestinians are Muslim, maybe they're Islamophobic. I never allow myself to go there because I don't have, I don't have to.

1:57:25 And what I am fearful of is that because Rashida and I are Muslim, that a lot of our Jewish colleagues, a lot of our constituents, a lot of our allies go to thinking that everything we say about Israel to be an anti-Semitic because we are Muslim. Just checking in so what she's saying is that she's actually extremely aware It's kind of funny that she said this that whenever she is she's a lot of Jewish constituents in her district She's extremely aware of what she says in particular when talking about something like Palestinians or Palestine She has to be very careful because she knows that she's very quickly labeled anti-semitic because her criticism comes from someone who is Muslim have we have any anti-semitism here yet and

1:58:17 No, I don't think so either. Okay, continue. And so to me it is, it's something that becomes designed to end the debate because you get in this space of yes, right? Like I know what intolerance looks like and I'm sensitive when someone says the words you use Ilhan are resemblance of intolerant and I am cautious of that and I feel pained by that. But, but It's almost as if every single time we say something, regardless of what it is we say, that it's supposed to be about foreign policy, our engagement, our advocacy about ending oppression.

1:58:57 Okay, so She's saying that she knows that these people are actually good people, the ones, her colleagues, who may call her anti-semitic because they do care about suffering around the world. But then she brings in this suffering of the Palestinians and I haven't heard anything anti-semitic yet, but this next bit... Well, before you continue with this, this is all after the fact. No, this is... No, this is the most... No, no, no, you're wrong. This is the most recent one.

1:59:49 This was the timeline was you get the timeline that there's a timeline here. She was making anti-semitic tweets which were removed. or they were perceived as such and then she and then she was that's when the controversy began and then she did this which is what you're playing and it was an apology tour. No, the way I the timeline I saw and I may be wrong the timeline I saw was after this speech in addition to the tweets but after this this is what they were showing on television the whole time they got better b-roll than this. That's because they had nothing else to show. They got plenty of b-roll on her.

2:00:28 No, they don't have any B-roll of her just coming out and saying, I hate Jews. Well, B-roll has no audio that way. Well, yeah, I'm just saying there's nothing. I know I've heard this whole speech from beginning to end because they played it on Democracy Now! and it's innocuous. Yes. It's just going on and you can play it till hell freezes over. We're not going to find anything in there because there's nothing in there. The only thing that's in here is this last piece, which I think she has a very good point about. I want to talk about the political influence in this country. in this country that says it is okay for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country. I want to ask why is it okay for me to talk about the influence of the NRA, of fossil fuel industries or big pharma and not talk about a powerful lobbying group that is influencing policy.

2:01:27 I think she has a point there. It's okay for the Democrats to bitch and moan about the NRA and the bankers and Big Pharma and big oil, but shh, quiet about AIPAC. And that's true. Well, let's look at it from another perspective. Yeah, it is true. Who says it's not? Take one of the biggest AIPAC supporters, a Democrat, Chuck Schumer. The difference is that you can bitch and moan about NRA because they never give Democrats money. AIPAC does. Okay, that's the reason it's okay for the Democrats to bitch and moan about the NRA and not bitch and moan about AIPAC because the NRA doesn't give him any money and AIPAC does. It's all about the money. Which is exactly what she tweeted. It's all about the Benjamins. Okay, well let's go to the progressive side that would defend her. Okay. And they do defend her.

CHAPTER 27 / 35 Discussion

House Resolution on Hate and Gideon Levy Interview

The House of Representatives passed a broad resolution condemning multiple forms of hate following the Ilhan Omar controversy. Israeli journalist Gideon Levy argued on Democracy Now! that the "Jewish lobby" is too aggressive and that labeling all criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic stifles legitimate foreign policy debate.

house of representatives· gideon levy· bernie sanders· israel lobby· democracy now

2:02:24 I think that I've always thought that this was a little blown out of proportion to and somewhat premature. If this Omar woman is going to hang herself. It's not going to happen with this bit. It'll happen sometime in the future, if at all. But let's go to the rundown of Omar. This is Democracy Now! And this is their perspective. And you have to remember, Democracy Now! is pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel. The House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed a resolution Thursday condemning anti-Semitism, anti-Muslim discrimination, white supremacy and other forms of hate. The vote was 407 to 23, with nearly two dozen Republicans voting against it. The vote capped a week of intense debate among congressional Democrats that began after some lawmakers accused Democratic Congressmember Ilhan Omar of invoking anti-Semitic tropes while questioning U.S. foreign policy on Israel. At an event last week, Congressmember Omar said, quote, "'I want to talk about political influence in this country that says it's OK for people to push for allegiance to a foreign country.'"

2:03:25 Democrat Eliot Engel, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, on which Ilhan Omar sits as well, then accused Omar of making a, quote, anti—vile anti-Semitic slur. The House leadership initially drafted a resolution condemning anti-Semitism in what was seen as a direct rebuke of Omar. But many progressive Democrats and Omar, who was one of the first two Muslim congresswomen in U.S. history, was unfairly being singled out. Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders wrote, we must not equate anti-Semitism with legitimate criticism of the right-wing Netanyahu government in Israel. Yeah, Bernie's in a tough spot.

2:04:05 Bernie. He doesn't know. I don't know what to say. It's a tough spot because of a lot of things. So they brought in, so they did a thing which I, and I'm going to pre preface this last clip. This is a short clip. Uh, this clips from a, a, a Israeli. journalist named Gideon Levy, who's kind of one of those pro-Palestinian Israelis, it seems. But I'm going to preface this, she brings on this guy, she brings on some woman who's on a lot of shows, I can't remember her name offhand, and then a Palestinian is at the desk, all three of them condemning everybody, they're all defending Omar, and I was a little, I'm looking for some

2:04:46 semblance of a little balance in the reporting, you know, I don't like to slant on either side. You were bitching about it with that clip of yours that it was slanted one way when it was bull crap, obviously. And then the other side slanted. They don't give us these news organizations. And I'm going to do another one. They don't give us any balance. In this case, Amy puts three people on who just bitch and moan and they all defend Omar. Nobody has any reason not to because that's the way the balance is. It's not balanced. This guy, I think, has some good arguments very similar to what you were saying, but he kind of drops the ball where I cut the clip off.

2:05:24 with an assertion at the end that I just thought was a bit much. Tel Aviv first. Gidon Levy, your response to the debate and the final passage of the resolution on Thursday in the House of Representatives? It's wonderful that the House deals with anti-Semitism. It's wonderful that the House condemns anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism should be condemned, but the context is very suspicious and very troubling. Let me be very frank with you, Amy. We have to say the truth. The Israeli lobby, the Jewish lobby are by far too strong and too aggressive. It's not good for the Jewish community. It's not good for Israel. What is happening now is that some kind of fresh air, some kind of new voices are emerging from Capitol Hill

2:06:17 raising legitimate questions about Israel, about America's foreign policy toward Israel and about the Israeli lobby in the States. Those are very legitimate questions and it is more than needed to raise them. But the Israeli propaganda and the Jewish propaganda in recent years made it as a systematic method Whenever anybody dares to raise questions or to criticize Israel, he is immediately and automatically labeled as anti-Semite. And then he has to shut his mouth, because after this, what can he say? This vicious circle should be broken, and I really hope that

2:07:06 Great, great politicians like Mrs. Omar and others will be courageous enough to stand in front of those accusations and to say, yes, it is legitimate to criticize Israel. Yes, it is legitimate to raise questions. And this does not mean that we are anti-Semites. We are not ready to play this game anymore in which they shut our mouths with those accusations, which in most of the cases are hollow. He describes her as a great, great politician. Oh, Elon! I'm not buying it. Elon's a great politician? That's what he said. She's a great, great, not great, great, great politician. Great, great. Like Elon Omar. Now, I think the Rashid, Rashid woman, I forget her name, Rashid, I think she's a problem. She's just a troublemaker. They're all troublemakers.

2:08:04 But, you know, even... That they're all just, all the Justice Democrats are troublemakers. That's what they're there for. Even... So we're not, you know... Yes, that's what they're there for. I agree. I'm just saying, even this conversation we had, I guarantee you, either one of us or both will be called either anti-Semite or Islamophobe. You can't have a conversation about it. Even on a stupid podcast, although this is a stupid podcast. Not this one. I tried to catch myself. You're right. So I'm watching the, you know, so they have Brooks and Shields, you know, I always bitching about this constantly because it's unbalanced. You got two guys agreeing with each other. Why are they doing that? Why don't you, is there any possibility that somebody could take the other side of the argument? Cause there are other sides of the argument. I don't care what argument it is. There's usually another side.

CHAPTER 28 / 35 Discussion

Media Bias on PBS and Trump Administration Oversight

Critics point to perceived bias on PBS news programs where panels often consist of multiple commentators who agree on their opposition to the Trump administration. Recent discussions focused on House Democrats' requests for documents from Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner regarding security clearances.

pbs· trump administration· ivanka trump· jared kushner· oversight

2:08:54 But no, no, no, we had two guys agreeing constantly. And the worst example of this I thought was they brought Gert, this guy, this... columnist for the Washington Post, another Trump hater. So you got two Trump haters on this panel. And they got a new Trump hater from the Washington Post, Gershon is his name. And he's a columnist and he's a Trump hater. And so here's an example of one of them going off on something and the other one, to show the balance, I wanna show how they respond to each other. This is the Gershon and Shields on government overreach regarding the Trump administration. Let's talk about another move on the part of the Democrats this past week. Now they've got the majority in the House, they are reaching out asking for documents from scores of Trump administration officials. They're asking for documents from officials in the White House, the president's daughter Ivanka. They're trying to find out about security clearances, Michael.

2:09:49 granted to the president's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, his daughter. They're now, they're talking, another committee is looking at the president's tax returns. The criticism out there is that this could be overreach. Is it overreach? Is it appropriate? I think the breadth of these demands is equal to the breadth of the slime that we're seeing. I mean, we've seen it at every stage, from campaigns to transition to inaugural committee to early White House. There are plenty of ethical problems to examine in this case. And this is a case where the Republican Congress didn't do its duties when it came to oversight. It left a bunch of things completely unanswered, which it should have, just as a matter of integrity, itself have examined and was used in a political way. And so I think that Republicans very much brought this on themselves.

2:10:44 I think Michael is absolutely right. Hey, when is the public not finding this a good product anymore that these news programs are delivering? When are they just tired of the repetition? At a certain point you can only do so much of the same. I have no idea but I think their numbers are dropping and not dropping to an extreme. They have a captive older audience that's why they're drug commercials on the commercial networks but I don't know who's listening to this this NPR show because it is so lopsided. There is no evidence that they can even, there's a guy, an Indian guy who writes for the National Review who comes on once in a while to actually balance shields. He takes Brooks' place and he's good and he does come up with why is this, why, well, they're doing it probably because of this and this and this and this and he explains things a little bit.

2:11:40 really don't like putting him on. Yes, exactly. So for one thing, he's smarter than than Shields by a lot. Yeah. And PBS, not NPR. Yeah. PBS, PBS, PBS, PBS. Well, we try to deliver an outstanding product twice a week, everybody. I don't know what they're doing, but that's what that's our that's our mission. I'm going to show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fab. I do have some people to thank for show 1111 1111 1111 1119 the top of the list she's just always down the old hey hey 1119 I said 1111 didn't I yeah you did I wish it was 1111 1119 Patricia Worthington $150 she's in Miami hold on you skipped Keith and Sardingus and

2:12:44 I've got Keith Gibson $150. Oh, I see, because Julian, I just went to the $200 thing I saw there. Oh, that's wrong. That's interesting. I see what you're saying. Yeah, so I just saw that and I started from there. Well, Julian Carpenter got a bogus slot in the rundown. He somehow missed. That's weird. That's not even possible. That's like a sort error. Well, Julian, we're sorry. Julian Carpenter, $200. Let's see if he's got a note. Well, we'll fix you though. That's for sure. Sorry Julian. Yeah, it's very strange. I've never seen that before. Let's see. There's a note from Julian. No, he sent a note on March 9th. Oh, oh, oh, oh, okay. I'm ready. Now I see what happened. Eric didn't put in the slot. He slotted it. I know what he did.

2:13:47 He donated 150, then 50 separately on ac- he says on accident. Oh, okay. But he's obviously a millennial because he only said- he said nobody but millennials say that. On accident. By accident. Yeah, I said on accident and they say that all the time. Really? It's gone. I donate 150 and 50 separately on accident I wanted to donate a full 200 in one go but my brain is dumb not sure how to fix this or send a note My name is Julian carpenter from Avon, Colorado. Okay makes it to you now He didn't said could have put a note there, but he didn't So, what I think it was is right at the top of the list of the 150s and Eric just changed that to 200 and then there's other ones. Got it. Got it. Got it. After the sort. Okay. All right. We're good. All right, Julian, you're good to go. You're good to go. You'll be... Associate exec. ... bumped up into the... Associates. Associates where you belong. Complications. Back to the chart.

She was at the meetup and she came to the meetup? Yes, she came to the meetup and she talks about how she was really afraid to, she was timid even though she's very extroverted normally and she was embarrassed to ask for a picture and she sent a copy of it. Let's stop the show right now. If you want a picture, because I had this too,

2:26:24 I've had a couple of things. I don't know why. We love to have our picture taken. Hell yeah! Adam especially. So don't be shy about having the picture taken. Just do it. Yeah, I'm there to meet everybody. You want to get your picture taken? That's great. I always have the exact same look on my face. I'm usually doing the salute or I'm pointing. You could, by the way, just go Photoshop me and put me in there with you if you don't want to actually have the picture. Well, there is one point of order and you brought it up on the tweeters. We do need to bring back the host head on a stick.

2:27:01 So if it's a meetup I'm doing someone needs to bring John's head on a stick and vice versa, right? It's very important for the For the vibe with continuity, but yes, no don't yes. No. Yeah, do not be shy about can I have your picture take me? Just don't even think about assume that that's what we're angling for We like to have our picture taken with them with our with our producers producers It's just fine. It's not even an issue. I've had this I had people years ago, I remember they would bring a copy of PC Magazine and want me to autograph an article they liked. And then they'd frame it, I guess. Yeah. And I had no problem with that, but they were always so reticent about asking me. I don't care. I'm not, you know, there's a certain famous baseball player, Ted Williams. He wouldn't sign autographs. I have an autographed Ted Williams picture somewhere.

2:27:57 You do? Yes! No, it's worth about $10,000. I'm sorry, it's a charcoal drawing of him with his signature on it. Really? Yeah, now I'm thinking where the hell is it? My mom got them. My mom was a big Sox fan. Bo Sox. That thing is worth a fortune. Any Ted Williams autograph is worth a lot of money. I mean, I think they're worth a grand or two, but any picture or anything that he did to sign, because he hated signing autographs, rarely did them. When I was a little kid, I used to go to Wrigley Field and watch usually the Dodgers and the Cubs.

2:28:37 It does the teams I like to watch and there was one guy, I think he was on the, I don't know what team was. I can't quite, I will remember it eventually. He refu- and I was a little kid with getting autographs. Everyone would sign autographs. Duke Snyder, I had his autograph and you get all these autographs. There was one dick who refused- now I don't sign autographs kid. I'm a little kid. I'm a little kid. Can I make you an autograph? No. So- The only autograph I ever got was Tom Seaver. That's poor Tom Seaver, you know, he's gone into dementia. Well, I have a glove with this thing. Also, somewhere, God, that's got to be worth about two or three thousand dollars. Maybe that's it. My exit. OK, Cassidy Eastwood in Oklahoma City, 50. And last but not least, Drew Mochak over here in El Cerrito.

2:29:34 who I expect to see at a meetup one of these days. 50, I want to thank all these folks for producing show 1119 and keeping us going. And thanks for warming up to the puppy. Yes, thank you all very much. Your support is incredibly, incredibly valuable and necessary. It's how our Value for Value network works. It's how it functions.

Electronic Car Key Jamming Mystery in Australia

Motorists in Joondalup, Australia, were locked out of their vehicles due to a rogue electronic signal jamming car key frequencies. Technicians suspect a pharmacy's prescription buzzer system may be the culprit, highlighting the increasing vulnerability of modern "keyless" vehicle technology to signal interference.

australia· car keys· jamming· pharmacy· 5g

2:34:13 It's probably just the beginning of things to come. I'm sure you'll see a lot more of these problems all around the globe, but certainly when we roll out 5G, initially I thought this might be a 5G story. It's good regardless. A technician scouring every angle of a Joondalup pharmacy searching for the rogue signal that's been jamming electronic car keys. Not working? No. Just a handful of motorists reported the problem today, but more than 100 shoppers over the past week have been locked out of their vehicles. Experts believe something inside the pharmacy has malfunctioned and is causing the issue. It is very unique. It's something I haven't seen before myself and I'd imagine we will probably never see anything like this again for some time.

2:35:00 Although it's not believed to be a deliberate act, it's raised security concerns for devices sharing a similar frequency as a car key. There are known attacks out there which are used to compromise garage door systems and unlocking remotes for cars, known as the roll jam attack. Technicians are working there right now to fix the problem. Alice, the experts trying to get to the bottom of this mystery have had to wait until the end of trading today to get access into the pharmacy. Just in the last half an hour they told me the signal has disappeared which has prompted a new theory about what's causing this problem. Now they think it could be the buzzer system the pharmacy uses to alert customers when their prescriptions are ready which we're told operates on the same frequency as electronic car keys.

2:35:45 They can't confirm that this is the case as it's a process of elimination and it could still be days before they know for certain what's behind it. The shopping centre will have security on tomorrow directing customers away from the affected area but they say anyone who has a problem should contact the centre management immediately. So this was this is the second report this happened a couple days ago in Perth and you see all these people just they can't operate their vehicles and they had to leave them overnight. Hey man get a car with a key. Yeah a real key let me tell you I got a couple stories about this. So, when I got my Lexus, the SC400, the one that is now a 25-year-old car. It's 25, yeah. So, I got my 25-year-old car. So, when I had it within the first year or two, I was at some event and some PR event for some company. The PR woman says, oh yeah, I've got one of those. They're great until it was stolen.

2:36:47 I said, what? This was stolen? She says, yes, this is a car, the auto car, because it has a little button you push on the key and it opens the door. Apparently, this was an era, I remember this specifically, there was for sale a device you could buy. It was on sale for about a year before it was taken off the market. I probably should have bought one. That you push this button, it unlocks every car in the parking lot. You think that still works? I think for old cars it does. Nowadays they're very complicated, outrageously secure. But anyway, back to my story. So I disabled that feature of the car and never used it again.

2:37:35 Well, I mean this is just with cars. I mean, and initially they thought, oh, someone put a new router in somewhere because a couple other stores near this parking lot or around the parking lot, like a strip mall. And then they finally conclude, and I would believe this, that it's one of those restaurant I'm sure that's sending off all kinds of dirty signals. Gotta have harmonics all over the place. But still, to blanket an entire parking lot? Well, even part of one. So you can't get in. Because now, why do you have a car? You're on with... We all agree on that. I'd like to know what really happened, which is not conclusive. But yeah, why would you have a car that can... Because that's... Cars are being made that way. They're tracked... Yes, cars are being currently being made where there's... Although there are little workarounds on some situations, like for example, your car key, if you can get in your car... There's some cars you can't get in.

2:38:39 Right. Yeah, this is like trying this was a lot. Yeah, this is a lot of these people could not get into their car Yeah, you can't get in your car. There's no keyhole and even was bull crap like the Tesla my favorite Yeah, I think it test is that way. Yeah sure is so Let's assume that you can't you can get in your car cuz like a lot of the Priuses they they are all electronic like that But they do have a keyhole that you could on the on the driver side only usually and there's this keyhole you can get in the car, but then now you have to trigger the The car fob is the one where you have to push button starter, which I, this goes back to the thirties when there was push button starters. So it's a push button starter is supposed to be so convenient. Yeah. Unless you happen to walk, you know, there's a million problems with these, but okay. There is a workaround on most cars where if your battery and your little key is dead,

2:39:29 You can't open the door, you can't start the car, there's nothing you can do with a dead battery in the little key fob. But if you have a keyhole, you can open it and get in and then there's some sort of a workaround, you have to take a bobby pin or something and you gotta stick it over here and you gotta do this. It's like jerry-rigging and it'll start. It's bad. I'm just thinking maybe this... Just disable half the public. Yeah, well, Professor Ted is laughing in his jail cell. He's laughing away because you know we're going to run into all these interferences. This is just the beginning.

2:40:07 I mean look at, I don't know about you, but you know when we're in our building I frequently have to have my router re-scan for a different channel to use because someone moves, someone comes in, default setup, boom. You know then it or maybe it just starts to interfere and then you have to do that again. It's just, it's creepy when you see how many signals pop up. It's pollution, it's going to be problematic and we're going to see these frequencies I think we'll see a lot more of this and this could have this might have been dangerous I don't know and maybe it is just a 5g thing. I'm sure 5g is not gonna make things better It's bad. Don't buy a car that that can't doesn't have a key some way to get in the car and start it this Battery issue or jamming issue this would be interesting to see what cars are still available with just pure key. I

Telemedicine Robot Delivers End-of-Life News

A family in Northern California expressed outrage after a doctor used a remote-controlled robot to inform a patient that he was dying. The incident has sparked a debate over the ethics of telemedicine and the loss of human compassion in high-tech hospital environments.

telemedicine· robot· california· hospital· medical ethics

2:41:06 Well, I don't think there's any pure key car. Oh, no, but one that has one. Yeah, at least a key backup would be nice. I mean, all the technology is starting to disappoint severely. And one of the things that we always laugh about when it comes to net neutrality is, oh, you want net neutrality? OK, so that means that, you know, the telemedicine, the doctor doing the operation, you know, he needs to have, can't have priority bandwidth. And now that we have telemedicine, You might have seen the story. People are very disappointed by telemedicine in practice. This was in California. A family in Northern California is devastated. After rushing a loved one to the hospital because he couldn't breathe, they say a robot rolled into his room to deliver grim news. You know, I don't know if he's going to get home.

2:41:58 A doctor appeared in the robot's video screen to let Ernest Cantana know his lungs were failing and he didn't have long to live. Cantana's family members can't believe a robot was used in that situation. Devastated. I was going to lose my grandfather. that it was coming and that he was very sick. But I don't think somebody should get that news delivered that way. It should have been a human being come in. He already has a problem hearing. So with that and everything he couldn't hear, she had to repeat everything that doctor was saying. Quintana did die a couple of days later. A spokesperson for the hospital issued a statement offering condolences and saying they regret falling short in meeting family expectations. Did you see this thing?

2:42:44 Yeah, it was pathetic. It really was. But wasn't this like a... Wasn't this an element of the movie Up in the Air with Clooney where they were firing people and they were using a... computer screen to do it at some point as they were advancing. Oh man, you're asking me, I haven't seen this movie in a while, you're asking me something here I don't know. Up in the Air is really one of the, Clooney who does these kind of fashion projects. I remember the movie, it was a cool little movie, it was sweet. It was a very good little movie. Didn't it win an Oscar? No, I don't think so. I thought it won some award, it was a nice little movie.

CHAPTER 33 / 35 Discussion

North Korea Nuclear Facility Reassembly and John Bolton

Satellite imagery indicates North Korea is reassembling a missile engine testing site previously partially dismantled. Analysts suggest the shift in negotiations may be influenced by National Security Advisor John Bolton's preference for a "grand bargain" over a staged approach to denuclearization.

north korea· john bolton· denuclearization· hanoi summit· donald trump

2:43:20 But yes, but it wasn't really a robot. It was just one of those, you know, a video on a Segway, a video screen on a Segway so that the doctor can joystick control his monitor up to up next to you and say, hey, you're going to die. You're going to die. You might die. Yeah. Well, yeah. And that's that's a scandal. So I've got three clusters updating North Korea. Okay, that will be it because we're running out of time. Yeah. Well, I'm gonna update I want to get these out of the way There's three clips it brings up a few issues that we need to talk about for a minute Okay, and it's the North Korea update. It's on PBS and this is number one are the North Koreans doing at this facility? So this is a facility that they partially disassembled and now they're reassembling what they disassembled. I

2:44:11 And that includes rebuilding a testing stand, relaying railroad and reattaching a roof. So the facility is once again operational. But let's put in some perspective. When you say a facility for testing, it is not a missile launch facility. This has launched satellites into orbit. So this is not necessarily an indication that they're going to launch a rocket with any kind of tip or an ICBM, a missile that can reach the United States. But if they did test another satellite, that would be a violation of a Security Council resolution. And the technology that North Korea uses in that satellite test site would be the exact same technology they use in long-range missiles. So that is why U.S. officials are concerned. There is some concern. So, it's our understanding, senior administration official briefed reporters yesterday on a lot of this.

2:45:01 was learned. the Korea situation. How did this come about? Let's listen to the next clip. It was doomed to fail. So let's understand the shift. I'll take you back to January. Steve Biegun, the top US negotiator, gave a big speech at Stanford and he said the US was willing to take a step. North Korea takes a step. It's a staged approach. He also said that the US was willing to talk

2:45:40 about not only denuclearization, but the topics that North Korea wanted to talk about, finding a peace regime on the North Korean peninsula and also improving relations between the countries. And they were willing to talk about all those things simultaneously. We have communicated to our North Korean counterparts that we are prepared to pursue simultaneously and in parallel all of the commitments our two leaders made in their joint statement at Singapore last summer. Now that was January. Let me read you a statement by a senior State Department official from yesterday Nobody in the administration advocates a step-by-step approach in all cases the expectation is a complete denuclearization of North Korea as a condition for

2:46:22 all the other steps being taken. So every expert we talk to say this is a major shift that led the president to ask for a front-loaded grand bargain, all of the North Korean nuclear weapons for all of the sanctions relief. And the U.S. went further and demanded a freeze of chemical and biological weapons. That's not something that the U.S. has done before. And in Hanoi, North Korea said, look, we don't trust the U.S. enough to make this kind of grand bargain. The North Koreans put a smaller, relatively smaller deal on the table that experts we talked to say was meant to be a starting point. But the president did not like that, wanted that front-loaded bargain, and walked away rather than negotiate. So, a shift.

2:47:04 Why we don't know for sure but what the officials I speak to point to two things one John Bolton the National Security Advisor Was at the table in Hanoi has never believed in a staged approach So we got that guy involved douche, but he was that way he's all the way at the end This whole thing is falling apart in Trump. I don't know does he know? Question Do we really know if it's falling apart or is this just how Trump negotiates? That's what I'm thinking. It's possible, but I still see Bolton there and they're firing him. I'm suspicious. Well, think about this. Bolton at any point could be used as a chip, as a bargaining chip. Like, oh, you know what? I understand. Yes, Bolton's, you know what? I'll fire Bolton, but you still got to denuke. It's an old trick. Yeah.

Japan-Korea Historical Tensions and Industrial Competition

Historical animosity between Japan and Korea continues to influence modern diplomacy, with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reportedly advising President Trump to remain skeptical of North Korea. Japanese industrialists fear that a reunified Korea could become a dominant global industrial powerhouse.

japan· south korea· shinzo abe· industrial competition· history

2:47:53 Fire the guy, fire the problem. A story Pat McGovern who used to run Computer World Magazine and Info World and all these other... he used to, he told me this story. Uh, he said that he would always have a columnist in computer world that was just a kick-ass columnist that would always just say the, you know, he'd just be a mean spirited columnist, but it wasn't anybody. It was like a team of people, but it had a guy's name and his bit was a company coming to Pat. This is terrible. You've, you've, you've besmirched my company, IBM, whatever it was. This get this column. This has just been killing us. And Pat would say,

2:48:32 You're right. I'm firing him. That's a great story. And then he would put into some other columnist that was another bogus name. This is a great idea. I thought it was a great idea. Mark Pugner was his name, right? No, I never used pugna. But cringely the original cringely was a fake. Even though some guy decided to sue because he was doing the column and he wanted to keep it. Anyway, the point is that that's a trick. Yes. Possibly that's what he's up to. But I hate really dislike this Bolton character a lot. But then there's a second element here, and I want to just, this is the one I really want to comment on, which is included in part three. Number two, the president has soured, according to one senior administration official, on South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who has been advocating for this staged approach, and instead is listening to Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe, who says, don't trust the North Koreans. So what is, what's next? What does that mean? Administration officials say

2:49:32 They believe no bridges were burned. They hope that negotiations continue and they say that they understand the North Korean program, they understand what North Korea wants a little better than they did before Hanoi. But the question is, what is the deal that the U.S. wants next? North Korea says it's open. So it's not a dead deal. Not at all. Your thinking is correct. But the thing about this last comment, which they never bring this stuff up. The Japanese do not like the Koreans historically. There's some nasty-ass crap that went on between them. They hate them. Yeah. And they're very fearful that a combined North-South Korea would be an industrial juggernaut.

2:50:16 That would directly, they're already having trouble with China, but they would have even more trouble because the North, because the Koreans hate the Japanese too and they would love to compete with them in the international market for high tech products. It would be total payback for when they went in and slaughtered people. Well, and also burn their libraries and... The Japanese, they did horrible things to the Koreans. Yes. And so Abe is going to reflect that no matter what because he's a Japanese guy and he's not going to like the Koreans. And the Japanese industrialists are very afraid of a combined North-South Korea, which is what the South Korean guy wants.

2:50:56 because they know it will be a problem for them and the international market in terms of manufactured goods. So this whole thing, which by the way should be discussed, but nobody mentions this. Exactly. And now the minute you said that I'm like, oh yeah, where were the rockets flying over? Well, primarily Japan when they were still shooting them off, they're lighting stuff up, let's go over Japan. And that's pretty obvious that they're like, hey, ha ha ha. But it would be even better if this north and south you reunite, and they just yeah, they become a powerhouse Oh, man, what will Japan do that? Well? They got the Olympics they got up there and If you're if you got the Olympics your country's going bankrupt so Just a fact of life people we all know how it works alright everybody. That's it

2:53:18 You heard it here. And... You heard it here. It's your worst fear. When I was getting up out of bed, literally what I saw looking at myself in the mirror, the power, you've got all the power. It was the voice, it was me. The power was my inner voice. Two weeks ago, she's just a waitress. I'm at least trying. Talk about you being the boss. It doesn't address this little minute thing. Regardless of the success.

2:54:19 And that moment was actually really freeing. Because no one else has even tried. I'm at least trying. The power is in the person who's trying, and they're not. I just introduced Green New Deal two weeks ago, creating all of this conversation externalized in an email. Every critical, horrible thing that I was already saying. And I'm like, so until you do it, I'm the boss. You try. You do it.

2:54:56 So, I'm the boss. Literally what I saw looking at myself in the mirror, the power, it's your worst fear. Oh, it doesn't address this little minute thing. She's just a waitress. You heard it here. And they're not. That's right. unrealistic, oh it's fake. When literally there were only two choices, the other choice was like why on earth would we endorse her regardless of the success? Why? It's your worst fear. So it didn't work was my inner voice and I'm the boss. Why? Because you're not. You try. So until you do it, I'm the boss. You might die.

2:55:39 Obviously because you don't believe in climate change at all. You made a comment. Just a minute. Just a minute. Just a minute. I believe in climate change. No energy when the wind stops blowing. That's the end of your electric. Let's hurry up. If you were an actual scientist, is she a scientist? Is she a licensed professional in this field? She's 16 years old. She's a high school kid. But now we're scared about the rain because there can be floods and there can be mudslides. I'm a drought officer. People die in that because of the climate crisis.

2:56:17 the 1800s it's been written about the hell that is California oh by the way Dianne Feinstein does remember It's daylight savings. Yeah, it's my least favourite holiday. It kills people! The first country to actually have daylight savings and standardiser across the country was actually Germany, or the German Empire to be more precise, during World War 1. Scott Harding is one of many growers dependent on daylight to get the job done. You know you have to quit that much sooner, you have to have everything picked up before the sun goes down.
