About this episode

The State Department ordered an emergency evacuation of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad this week as John Bolton and Mike Pompeo point toward Iranian culpability for tanker attacks near the Strait of Hormuz. This escalation mirrors the West Clark Seven framework for Middle East intervention, suggesting a long-standing neoconservative agenda is currently overriding diplomatic channels. While European allies demand evidence of Iranian involvement, the domestic media apparatus has largely abandoned anti-war principles to function as a megaphone for intelligence agency narratives.

In California, the introduction of Bill SB 276 seeks to strip private doctors of their authority to grant medical vaccine exemptions, centralizing power within the state health office. Meanwhile, the New Zealand-led Christchurch Call has gained the signatures of Facebook, Google, and Microsoft, signaling a transition toward a more restrictive internet police state. In the legal sphere, Felicity Huffman entered a guilty plea for her role in the college admissions scandal, while Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed that a hidden FBI database was used to recover missing text messages from Peter Strzok and Lisa Page. Technological concerns also mount as the New York Times faces criticism for its 5G partnership with Verizon, which critics claim colors their reporting on the health and security risks of high-frequency cellular rollouts.

Adam Curry signs off for the final time as a bachelor before his upcoming wedding in Austin, Texas, where Sir Mark Hall has invited the entire country to a celebratory shindig. The program also explores the rise of millennial compression culture, where the term bet has replaced traditional affirmations and AirDrop pranks have become a public nuisance in the Netherlands. Sir Johnny the Swamp Knight joins the executive producers after sharing a bizarre anecdote involving a loosely robed Joe Biden in Arlington.

Weather Anomalies and Austin Shindig Preparations

The hosts open the program discussing unseasonable rain in Northern Silicon Valley and pleasant temperatures in Austin, Texas. They reference an upcoming social gathering or "shindig" in Austin, noting that Sir Mark Hall has been tweeting invitations to the entire country.

I don't know why I'm supposed to feel shocked or bad or... It's just raining

00:39 It's the middle of May. It supposed to be this is our summer This means the whole summer is gonna be screwed up Yeah, it's been beautiful here for me unbelievably beautiful with rain and Low temperatures it's been in the 80s fantastic for us yeah, that's in the 50s sir no That's not oh that's zoo. No. That's no good. Yes 56 out Everybody is coming in for the big show on Sunday. Yeah, apparently your pal there has invited the whole country. Mark Hall, Sir Mark Hall tweeting like hey y'all come on and welcome to Texas if you're coming to the shin dig I don't think he actually invited anybody The way I read the tweet he did

Millennial Contractors Eavesdropping on Voice Assistant Recordings

Millennial contractors working for tech giants like Google, Apple, and Amazon are tasked with reviewing voice recordings to train machine learning algorithms. These workers reportedly listen to various private queries, ranging from users yelling at the device to requests for explicit content. The hosts highlight the lack of privacy for users and the low wages paid to these "eavesdropping" contractors.

google assistant· siri· alexa· millennials· privacy· artificial intelligence· machine learning

01:32 Yeah, we got backed off on a second tweet. Well of course he was and when you get to a lot of people visiting and of course every night everyone's hanging out on the deck and It's very tiring for your podcaster to keep up with everything But I've learned a lot a lot of Millennials here then you know how much we love talking to them Oh yeah They're the best some of them It just blows my mind. Some of them are actually working for the talking tube services, of which there are a couple. There's Apple Siri, there's Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa and I've had a look in the system. I'm allowed to see how it works what comes in Whatever you say to your talking tube, it's not safe! There's an army of Millennials laughing at you

02:28 for everything you say. So one of the jobs is to make sure that Google Assistant is giving the people what they want And what they requested and it appears to be reasonably random which Which voice recordings are chosen for review although you know when there's a European Parliament elections when there's a lot of news about that It seems that those those types of queries come in to be checked, and you know again. It's this is not a Although they are supposed to check for content if something is you know can't pass the muster then it has to be reported but a lot of it is training the artificial intelligence Skim that over. What do you mean? I mean by what?

03:17 If you can't pass the muster, it must be reported. What does that mean? That means if it's something they feel is dangerous or brings harm... I don't know the exact criteria but if something sounds off then there's no matter what the off is they report it that then goes to an elevated team with these kids are doing I'll just call them kids They're actually training the algo They're training the machine learning, which by definition is wrong if they're training it. But the machine learning by... there's a form and you have to say okay this was the intended request and this is what the result was because that they also had that information

03:57 And then they can say, you know either it did it or didn't do it or was off. But here's the thing most of the recordings are people yelling at Google for not getting what they wanted. Just going off and yelling at Google and a large amount of seemingly old men looking for nasty porn Which apparently... Interracial porn. Show me some nasty porn, you're not nasty enough anymore I can't even repeat the things that are being requested God. That's that's what the technology is being used for Google yeah, yeah fantastic This is what our all the work that's gone into this All the effort to save and help mankind yes, and this is what ends up find porn More porn just just help you on help people understand wait a minute these guys can't find their own

04:55 They can't find their own damn porn. Well, it's that hard Well I think the Google Assistant is being used the way it was intended You know no longer input on your phone through the screen you just press the button and say hey find me some porn You know like open the pod bay doors hell only different well It's kind of the same if you think about yes Yes So I learned that I learned a new term, a new millennial term. Hold on a second before you go on... You're still stuck in here? ...you can't just gloss things over. Well, I'll have a longer report after this. No, I want to hear it. See, I got questions now! Okay all right go go So you say that these kids are working for the various operations do they when they're having their

05:47 Con fab there on the deck do they exchange notes? Do they all work the same does Siri have a bunch of kids listening in yes, there's The Amazon system. What's the other one Amazon and I'm working for Amazon yeah this these are independent companies that contract out And so it's you know their but they do pretty well to do 15 euros an hour for this It's minimum wage. No, 10! Well minimum wage in San Francisco Yeah well that's why it's not being done in San Francisco but you know they need one in every different country I think that's a comment on society right there yeah the cheap bastards are making who knows how many billions of dollars in profits yes can't pay $15 an hour for people to eavesdrop and get probably gets sickened by a lot of this

CHAPTER 03 / 42 Discussion

YouTube De-platforming and Advertiser Influence on Free Speech

The discussion shifts to the psychological toll of "cancel culture" on YouTubers, with claims that the threat of de-platforming causes extreme distress. The hosts argue that corporate advertisers, rather than politicians like Nancy Pelosi or Mitch McConnell, are the true arbiters of online speech. They suggest boycotting unpatriotic advertisers who stifle free expression to protect their brand image.

youtube· de-platforming· cancel culture· advertisers· free speech· nancy pelosi· sleeping giants

06:41 Yeah, I would make me nauseous well and one of the discussions was There the the Millennial set are convinced convinced that it will not be Longer than this year before a prominent youtuber commits suicide on YouTube Maybe wouldn't that be the best now? But just be it is the cancel culture, the de-platforming. Well Olivia Jade is up for auctions on this one Yeah I mean the kids are freaking out and they're not prepared for this type of incredible letdown and disappointment so early in their professional lives when they find out that guess what internet money ain't just free all the time you know? You can just get de-platformed

07:28 It's that simple. That's pathetic, but I do want to reiterate something because The conversation that you see online and on podcasts and everywhere is about political speech being stifled, the left wants to shut down the right. And I just want to remind everybody that the president Nancy Pelosi Chuck Schumer Mitch McConnell none of these people are important in this game not a single one of them! The only thing that matters is the Almighty God the advertiser

08:05 That's the reason for the de-platforming. It's only because advertisers will say, listen I don't want to have anything to do with any conspiracy theorists and crazy shit... They're protecting their own interests if you really truly believe that they're being suppressed. This needs to be emphasized more. The advertisers don't want that message near their product It's the advertisers and it's so simple. If you really want to make this a fairer platform, everybody just needs to turn it off! Don't use it go after the advertisers Go after the advertisers right now like The Sleeping Giants and The Media Matters Say hey we want free speech or will not or we're gonna boycott you but no. The advertisers are pretty easy to spot We should come up with a little agenda list

08:56 the advertisers on Twitter or advertisers who should be boycotted because they stifle free speech there and I American yes oh like that anti-american unpatriotic unpatriotic hurts even more Lee yeah they should want more free speech not less we don't want it associate we don't want that sort of thing associated with our brand that's all there is to it. It's not a big deal you wouldn't either know Exactly, and that's what everyone forgets. And so of course kids who are popular and you know you become popular certainly online with at least some fire or controversy or some position You never get really popular just for being cool So it's true! It's true! But my favorite story because everyone is in Airbnbs

CHAPTER 04 / 42 Discussion

Airbnb Surveillance and Ring Doorbell Monitoring

A personal anecdote describes an Airbnb host using a Ring doorbell to monitor the number of guests entering a property in real-time. The hosts criticize the growing surveillance state and the use of remote-controlled smart locks to enforce strict occupancy contracts. They express concern that technology intended for convenience is increasingly used to make users miserable.

airbnb· ring doorbell· surveillance· privacy· south by southwest· smart locks

09:53 coming from all except for Christina and her girlfriend, they're staying with us. So one of Tina's sisters and her husband and their son they have an Airbnb But her other sister with her sons they had in a different Airbnb, but their Airbnb wasn't available yet for check-in So everyone just kind of piled into theirs you know just to throw the bags down and then they left after 20 minutes to go hang out in the city and And so sister number one gets it bling gets a message from Airbnb. Well we see that

10:36 that you have many more people in the Airbnb than you contracted for. So click here to confirm that... That you now have seven people in this Airbnb with the increased price or you have to get out and what's going on here is they have a ring doorbell so, so the minute you check-in they're looking at ya God knows if they have anything on the inside. Yeah, first aid! That would freak me out Gaffer's tape. Gaffer's tape, yeah. But it just to me says more about where we're at right now with this surveillance state and we're doing it to ourselves and were jumping to conclusions

11:23 If the lady just called and said, hey I see you had like seven people instead of four or whatever they agreed to. Then he could have said no no they're just here for a couple minutes and they'll leave. No no immediately goes through Airbnb, Airbnb Nazis coming down on ya! You have seven people? And is it just the Ring doorbell that their using to spy on? I can almost guarantee you not And this is all part of the technological issue. All Airbnb, well not all but most Airbnbs now no longer have a key and lock they have one of those code locks that you can operate over the internet remotely and so they give you a code and then when the next person checks in they give you new code

12:12 But what invariably happens, I'm sure during South by Southwest etc. is people hand out the code to everybody and they're all crashing and partying in the same Airbnb All this technology is not helping It's only making people miserable Which takes us to our first clip. Ah, well what you got? Well since you brought up the fact that you think somebody's going to commit suicide as superstar YouTuber is making over a million dollars a year perhaps gets de-platformed even though she he is like 16 or 18 or even 19 let's catch up with the bullshit college scandal and where it's going because I have some commentary that wanted to make

CHAPTER 05 / 42 Discussion

College Admissions Scandal and Felicity Huffman Guilty Plea

Felicity Huffman pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud in the college admissions scandal, receiving a recommended four-month prison sentence. The hosts criticize the disparity in potential sentencing compared to Lori Loughlin and argue that the entire university admissions system is a "scam" favoring alumni and wealthy donors. They contend that the prosecution of celebrities is a distraction from systemic issues in higher education.

felicity huffman· lori loughlin· college admissions scandal· mail fraud· justice system· yale

12:57 Yeah, I've been following the updates. Oscar nominee Felicity Huffman facing cameras in a real-life drama that could land the actress in prison When addressing the judge today, Huffman's voice began to quiver fighting back tears She stressed her daughter didn't know about her actions trying to regain her composure Huffman answered yes your honor when asked are you guilty of the charge? This was absolutely the move that she had to make. She had to plead guilty, accept responsibility and cooperate with prosecutors to get the lowest possible sentence After agreeing to plead guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud, prosecutors recommended The Desperate Housewives star pay a $20,000 fine and spend four months in prison

13:45 It comes as fellow actress Lori Loughlin moves closer to trial, like some other parent rejecting a plea deal. She and her fashion designer husband are taking a big gamble as they face a maximum of 40 years in prison. Lori Loughlin is risking a substantial prison sentence by going to trial instead of pleading guilty she may even end up pointing the finger at her husband who was involved in more of the communications and more of the emails than she was Oh, he was but he wasn't implicated at all. Was he? No it's the it's it's Felicity's husband that wasn't in oh Yes, yes Massimo yes the fashion designer is wearing a Mossimo sweater the other day I'm sure you were with your Crocs no doubt Couple of things here that need to be addressed and this is out of control There's no way that one person gets

14:42 Four months in jail and the animal gets 40 years. This sort of threat, this is the problem with the justice system as it now exists It's a sham They don't want anyone going to trial And it says- In fact even in the report Elma Gary says she had- This was the decision she had to make She had to plead guilty I'm not buying that these people necessarily, they go to a counselor. There's a bunch of these people and they're gonna help your kid get into school. This guy had a little other scheme and I believe a lot of people were just stupid and many of them are not educated at all never went to college themselves and they were suckered into paying huge amounts of money thinking maybe that was the way to do it because

15:29 I hate to say it, they don't seem malicious. They were just dumb and so the system now is just beating the crap out of everyone. For one thing nobody should go to jail over this. I've decided that's bullcrap. This is a nonsense crime! Hold on... How about okay hold on a second what about the admissions boards? The people on the inside like I know that the college but that the basketball coach at UT is in jail I think already I don't know about that. And why is that? Why do we hear nothing about the admission side of this scandal, why do we not hear about the people who actually let these kids in?! Well that would be...I would just be more inclined to see them do a little time but in

16:16 The thing is overblown. So some kids, oh my God the poor kid that worked his butt off to get into Harvard he didn't get in because somebody bought their way in or he was at Harvard I guess it was Yale got in because he was a crew member whatever is on the rowing team this all bull crap you can get you know I know a lot of people they get into Harvard just And I know alumni kids, they get in first. They're the first ones to be appropriated. Yes. Some air some schools don't allow it. I told a story to you off the air about one of our employees that was at Mevio who is go ahead and tell the story model but she got it she waltzed into Cal because she's Mexican She says I'm Mexican boom apparently

17:05 But she doesn't look it and she doesn't act it, and she was part of you know. And she just waltzes in so the whole system is a scam to begin with well don't Don't you think that's exactly the reason why? It's only this Celebrities being played up in these huge for there it to me. It's all distraction from the true problem one college is too expensive To it's a scam on how you get in in the first place with alumni at the top of the list The whole thing is a scam and then to overblow these celebrities and threaten them with 40 years in prison because she didn't, in fact I'm sure that woman isn't convinced that she did nothing wrong. Because she went through a system that was there everybody knew about this guy

17:57 Okay, if that's what you want me to do I'll do that or Photoshop a picture. Sure, I can do that Is not the way everyone does it? Yeah everybody does It just its ridiculous at the system has beaten these people down so much. I mean it was fun At first I agree all look at these idiots But now it's out of control and its in this unfair and as ridiculous And these prosecutors should be ashamed of themselves and who knows what other forces are working behind-the-scenes You know, there's all every one of these famous people has all kinds of commercial dealings But we don't even know what is Hollywood somehow involved. Do they have any say? Is there is there are any PR moves being made to focus on one versus the other based upon future projects or things on the shelf No in fact that reporting is piss poor well anyway this has to end and these people should be just

18:56 And the way I see it, because of this if you have to do something because of mail fraud which is beyond me. Okay let's dream up some more bogus charges that's not what they did but oh they sent a resume in through the mail that was bogus. Oh! Mail fraud! That's bull crap now give them a big healthy... If you can afford million bucks to get your kid into school You can afford more than a $20,000 fine. Give him a 50 or 100 thousand dollar fine and slap him on the wrist and tell him to get the hell out! This is bull crap in the highest order Yeah but everybody wants to see someone go to jail that we all know come on you can't ruin the fun yeah well I'm sick of it

19:45 I'll keep following this too. This is just inexcusable the prosecutors if we have real crime people are getting hit Oh, yeah There's that there's muggies every window in San Francisco is being broken because nobody cares but No, it's because it's under $1,000. It's under a thousand dollars and damages no one has to care You don't have to care. Well, this but isn't this the celebrity culture that we're in? This is not unexpected to me and I totally expect someone to go to jail! Hey, hey...I was all-in on it. I liked the idea it was fun but now has gone too far Okay All right guys I still want to see a perp walk

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

New York Times and Verizon 5G Journalism Lab

The New York Times is criticized for a "puff piece" claiming Russia is using RT to spread 5G health fears as economic warfare. The hosts point out a conflict of interest, noting the Times' partnership with Verizon to build a 5G journalism lab and the presence of former Verizon executives on the Times' board. They characterize the reporting as a "native ad" designed to protect corporate interests.

new york times· verizon· 5g· rt· economic warfare· new knowledge· doreen tobin

20:32 A good one. They did the perp walk already! That weren't good, no one was shackled were they shackle? Let's do it again yeah do over on the perp walk. Well another PR job which was just fantastic to read in The New York Times regarding 5G I'm sure you saw this this article. Well, let me read the pertinent bit. Yeah I read that! It was a...I don't know who it was written for? It's a puff piece. Well first of all the headline is Your 5G phone won't hurt you but Russia wants YOU to think otherwise! Ooooooooh! Humanity and R&T and all the rest. So what the article says This is the worst article ever Is that

21:38 Apparently the Russians are behind the negative information about 5G. Analysts see RT's attack... Hey, where is my check? And by the way this RT-5g piece they're referring to is the piece that we played on the show weeks ago Remember The Millennial Girl? No not really Play it again Don't know if I have I have a different clip. Let me see if i can find this it was uh... No, I can't bring it up right at this very moment but It was you know an okay report But anyway the New York Times says analysts seek RT's attack on 5G as geopolitically bold It targets a new world of interconnected futuristic technologies that would reach into consumers homes aid national security and spark innovative industries Yes its economic warfare What?

22:44 Like what? Innovative industries. I keep hearing this. Already, well i'm going to read it to you already medical firms are linking up devices wirelessly to create new kinds of health treatments Yeah, you can do a mammogram via remote just stand in front of that 5G antenna. Good to go! No more squeezing no more pinching just stand in front of your router and you're good to go yeah it's economic warfare Ryan Fox chief operating officer of new knowledge hello new knowledge New Knowledge, you remember those guys don't you? No. Yeah they're the ones that did the congressional report explaining exactly how the Russian trolls influenced the election and then subsequently they were caught using these same techniques in the Alabama special election Those guys! Now it's good no problem to go ahead and promote them and everything they're talking about anyway

23:44 RT struck back. Which I think is pretty interesting. And they are going to retaliate in this clip against this New York Times report. Conflict of interest might be an understatement for the New York Times and its relationship with the telecom giant Verizon The Times does advertisements for Verizon Take a look at this one, paid-for and posted by Verizon But that's just the tip of the iceberg This January with Verizon support we're launching a new journalism 5G lab At The Times Now this lab is going to be based in our main newsroom and it will work very closely with Times journalists in New York City, across America and around the world. It'll partner with Verizon's Open Innovation Group and get early access to 5G technology and equipment

24:33 Doreen Tobin has been on the New York Times Board of Directors since 2004. Until 2009, she was Verizon's vice president and chief financial officer. After her retirement from Verizon, Tobin was given $3.5 million and then signed a year-long consulting contract that paid her a whopping $125,000 per month. As for the article's experts on 5G? Ryan Fox spent 15 years at the National Security Agency and was a computer analyst in the U.S. Army. Now he is an executive of cyber intelligence firm New Knowledge – the very same firm that ran what its own internal report called an elaborate false flag operation in the 2017 Alabama special senate race

25:17 And then there's Molly McHugh, a neoconservative think tanker and registered foreign agent who once wrote that fighting a new Cold War would be in America's interest. So whose interests does this article serve? The American public or corporate shareholders? No, this is something... Good work. I thought it was an outstanding piece! Yeah of course it's really a native ad, its them defending their new newsroom in conjunction with Verizon you know a call went out. I would like to see the New York Times load up their newsroom with 5G transmitters. The end of the paper. Take care of the problem Wow man those New York Times articles looking pretty crusty little fried around the edges what's going on with that?

25:59 But it's despicable. And I believe this, I think they literally... It's totally despicable! The New York Times should be ashamed of itself but it is already lost, its a lost cause. I'm surprised that-I'm going to be surprised if it lasts out the-I mean they got a-it's horrible that paper has just gone down the tubes. Well they seem to doing okay on digital subscriptions so they claim. You got a big overhead. I don't know how they're doing it you know, I'm looking at the action going on there I'm looking at this New York Times article again And they do disclaim it wireless high-speed communications could transform the news industry Wait wait, this is great This is this is that the part they got paid for well hold on

26:43 One paragraph. Wireless high-speed communication could transform the news industry, sports shopping entertainment transportation health care sexual relations I made that up city management and many levels of government in January The Times announced a joint venture with Verizon to build a 5G journalism lab And then they put the transmitters inside the newsroom. Do it! RT's assaults on 5G technology are rising in number and stridency as the American wireless industry begins to erect 5g systems In March, Verizon said its service will soon reach 30 cities This is a native ad article A protectionary native ad

CHAPTER 07 / 42 Discussion

5G Technology Specs and Health Concerns

The hosts debunk marketing claims regarding 5G low latency and high-speed downloads, arguing that the technology requires dangerous power levels to penetrate obstacles. They compare the rollout in the United States to Asia, noting that the U.S. is pushing higher frequencies that may have unknown health effects. Mention is made of the Louisiana Department of Health's decision to study the technology before a full rollout.

5g· latency· bandwidth· millimeter wave· radiation· austin· louisiana

27:35 They don't say anything about T-Mobile or AT&T with their phony 5GE, whatever it is. They don't say anything about that now only about Verizon. Yeah. That's... That's really bad! So I'm listening and have some clips I want to play up. I don't have them with me i'm going to bring them in the next show that we do this is a tease but the one thing they keep promoting And they keep promoting this to an extreme. I'm finally sick of listening to it, and I want somebody...I need to get some... I can say what I think I know but I'm gonna have to get a superstar network guy. A guy who really is up there not me. And do an interview with him. This low latency thing is bullshit! Oh really?

28:34 Well, what give me a break one malice if they say it's one millisecond latency is on 5g you get one millisecond late well What I was gonna say that's meaningless. I mean the latency to what? I mean to the from the from the phone to the router or to the phone Yeah, I guess that's it yeah I wish looking at my latency on my just fooling around looking latencies on my 1 gigabit line between where and where So I'm getting, so if I use it. If I go on Ookla or any of the speed test dot net there's a bunch of them but Ookla is nice because it has... That's not a real test! It's a good test for latency and uh..so I ran the test because it matches everybody else's latency There was also just a latency test. So my latency talking from here on the gigabit line straight

29:36 to the sonic server in Santa Rosa is about 5 milliseconds. That's good, the latency from here to Austin Texas? 20, sometimes 30. The latency from here to Manchester UK 55 Right. So what is this low latency got to do with anything? Well, look... What they're talking about here is really building a secondary internet that has completely managed and chock full of goodies for the telecom company and for governments etc so you know when you have a one millisecond latency yeah they're gonna have

30:30 you know, the distance learning or the telemedicine. It'll all be with inside this new network it's not really intended I mean they're just trying to sell it to people by saying something incredibly stupid such as You could download a whole movie in five seconds! Well the last time I downloaded a movie was in 1998...it's all streaming now you don't have to download anything and no one cares how long it takes as long as it starts playing almost right away And and just to explain to everyone what are my I think the show's issue is with 5g is they're claiming to have incredible bandwidth, and that's not necessarily you know so that's explained to Simpletons as all you can download a movie in five seconds but what it means is you can really put a lot of data through in the same amount of time and

31:25 You can compare it to AM radio and FM radio. AM radio reaches much further, certainly at night it bounces around but the quality is shit because very thin bandwidth and that's just the physics of... That's just physics! So if you want further reach your quality will go down in I'm just generalizing. FM sounds Much higher quality, but in order to get all of that beautiful sounding information in it has to go on a different frequency Which just can't? Penetrate and can't go as far so when you have 4g It'll go through walls and not through all kinds of things And you get a decent amount of bandwidth and did in some countries very decent But to really make that jump to a gigabit is

32:12 You have to have a much higher frequency and because those higher frequencies can stuff all this information into the, into its pipe. Its power has to be multiple times stronger in order to get through your hand from your phone if that's even where you know they're already going to show you how to hold your phone properly so don't block the antenna with I dunno something inconvenient like your head And they're gonna be upping this power and it could be 60 watts from the pole now when you have a pole right outside your window You get into all kinds of unknowns, and this is one of the reasons why Louisiana Department of Health is saying hold on we're gonna study this Study it before we roll it out. Now Austin of course stupid on board rolling it out at little boxes everywhere

33:04 So when you start to do this without thinking properly about or without really testing in real-world scenarios with humans, there's going to be tons of issues. Now that said 5G itself has nothing to do with this. 5g is being rolled out in Asia on pretty much the same frequencies as 4G I don't know if that's just PR because again You can't really get that far with a higher frequency So, I mean it's a little baffling to me. We seem to be one of the few countries that are really going to go in the high 30 gigahertz range. I don't see Asia doing this they're still staying in the 3-5 GHz range which is arguably not harmful

33:51 Actually 2.6 in China yeah, well so and is that really 5g I mean you can't they call it 5g It's 5g but you can't push the same amount of data through that frequency You just can't where's the spec? Yeah if there was one we could tell y'all about it That's another problem this spec is kind of hmm Where's the spec show me this back? Yeah So that's not gonna be too much of a problem, but then I don't think it'll deliver you can't you can it can't deliver channels over the same You know free at the two points. That's part of that's part of the spec That's part of it is that it's like a wave division? I guess parts of it as is that But it's just unknown and you know there's there's lots of examples of 4g even 3G making people very sick

Home Powerline Networking as Wi-Fi Alternative

A discussion on reducing Wi-Fi exposure leads to a recommendation for HomePlug powerline networking, which uses a house's electrical wiring to transmit data. One host describes running two separate sub-networks for different ISPs over the same power lines. They note the benefits for streaming video on devices like Roku while acknowledging potential interference with ham radio equipment.

powerline networking· homeplug· wi-fi· ethernet· cat5· roku

34:41 Wi-Fi people with wi-fi issues who just cannot stand it. Yeah, wife I may actually be the real issue I've gone to I've changed my attitude about it I've kind of cut back on Wi-Fi and I'm using believe it or not and it works just fine Dial a home power line networking in the house Really two gigabits per second you think that's fast enough Wow Yeah, it's a lot faster than Wi-Fi by far. And you can run multiple networks which is really the cool part. You can run multiple networks on your same power lines in other words this is the part that I was really quizzical about because I bought two sets of gear one was a 500 megabits per second system just 2 units and then the other one was a 2 gigabit per second unit

35:42 two units and I, uh, and then you, you pair them. And if you pair them on different frequencies they won't talk to each other. What brand are using? I want to try this out. I have a, I have to go look at it. I could look it up. I had to look it up on Amazon there Chinese brands I saw. Because they're cheap, it's 79 bucks! Oh that's great And so you're loaded and so you can have this and there's all these standards one still home it's called homes something is a standard I have to write some notes on Well this is one little thing that's a problem You sir cannot be a true ham radio amateur professional because these powerline things they will give you some QR Mary the you won't believe

36:30 Yeah, yeah. They will mess up your in the 90s. Haha I can't wait to try it I'm gonna get one of these boxes try it out and I'm guarantee you is box It's gonna create horrible noise on the don't know that hand those days are over they've changed this new home plug I think it's a name of its home plug the whole plug standard which makes it cross-compatible so I have these two separate networks running on my power lines and I'll tell you what the problem could be. I'm running these two separate networks on my power lines that are different, they don't talk to each other but i can just as easily even though there are different speeds, I can just as easily have them talk to each other by pairing them all together in one

37:14 power line operation. But what I've done is, I'm running one system using the Comcast connection and i'm using one system using the Sonic connection so I have these two separate sub networks within the house now the problem I am told although it's a long shot especially looking around at people It's a long shot Is that the signal does go out on the lines Yes, and so you can show that my next-door neighbor could I put down the end of receive it? Could possibly get on my network but he has to be paired. Yeah, no, I'm sure I'm sure It turns out you could do it in some odd way if you have the exact same gear Well, so that's actually kind of cool So you could provide and you could charge your neighbor for Internet

38:09 You could do it. I think you could do it. I don't know what degradation would be, but I'm sure there's bandwidth that would go down because of just general degradation But... I think its doable So you're running, say you're running an apartment building or something and plug these in. And you can get it... I'm not going to go on and on about this but a lot of these systems have a master where you plug your network into and then the slaves out in the field out in their bedrooms or wherever we were gonna put them- In the bedroom where your slaves usually are? The slave should be in the bedroom. You put this, the slave unit has a Wi-Fi output so you can go from

38:51 Home instead of having a mesh which everyone's all these in fact the guys who set these things Oh, you gotta get a mesh Which is like I don't want 30 receivers and my men transmitters in that house. I'm gonna way meshing with ridiculous Well You could also just give your slaves a really long cat 5 cable Ethernet cable here when he used to walk around with that six or seven but Yeah if you have an old house Or you're not wired, or you're trying to run Cat5 all over the place. It's unsightly! Yes. And it's no good. You got this is... The home plug standard seems to work in fact it does work. Alright. It made a huge difference on my Roku viewing of the Warriors playoff games

CHAPTER 09 / 42 Discussion

Millennial Slang and Compression Culture

The hosts explore the millennial term "bet" as a replacement for "you bet" or "agreed," framing it as part of a broader "compression culture." They observe that younger generations are shortening language and using emojis to communicate more information in less time, similar to "jive talk" from previous eras.

millennial slang· bet· compression culture· language· youtube

39:41 Okay, well I shall once you can tell me which one it is. I will purchase said device and I will check and see if it works with my professional ham radio gear. I'll get you the cheapest one which would be the most likely to be a problem bet that's a new term what? I learned a new term What? Bet. Vet? BET so here's how it works You say After dinner, let's go. Let's watch the Warriors go ahead try it bet no you say Another well-rehearsed bit No So instead of this is part of the compression culture that I've been following Instead of saying I bet or you bet so hey let's watch the warrior games after dinner yeah You bet know you just say bet oh that's dope Exactly

40:46 And I had of course not heard of this. And then the millennials start talking about it and they're all like, oh yeah, Beth. What? I'd never...I've not heard this! There's a number of YouTube videos that I recommend people track down about millennial slang. Uh-huh. Beth. That's the tip of the iceberg. I didn't understand a word half these people were saying is almost like jive talk from the 40s It's compression. We're compressing everything, all language... I gotta tell you Google now has Google Podcasts

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

Google Podcasts and AirDrop Pranks in the Netherlands

Google Podcasts' new transcription and 1.5x playback speed features are discussed as tools for information compression. The conversation then shifts to a trend in the Netherlands where people use Apple's AirDrop protocol to send unsolicited explicit images to strangers in public spaces. The hosts warn that many users leave their Bluetooth and location settings "on" by default, exposing them to such "gags."

google podcasts· airdrop· apple· netherlands· bluetooth· privacy

41:25 Which I'm happy with because for a number of reasons, but you know you can do an online player just in the web browser They are doing if not. I don't know if it's planned or if they're already starting to do Transcriptions and then they're indexing that so you can search on podcasts which of course is fantastic we encourage that But they also have a 1.5 playback speed And I don't know, what...I was looking for an old segment. I was going through some stuff and I just hit it one-and-a-half. And I have to tell you that if that's what you're into— I mean it doesn't raise your voice an octave. It's just like Audacity. You know, it chops out the spaces in between. Yeah, it's a tempo thing. Yeah! It's really tempo. It's doable. I mean, I don't know why you'd want to do it again? Again, I don't like jogging past the Mona Lisa either

42:20 But it does work, and that's what this is. It's compression more information. It's emoji speak bet bet well I wish these kids all the luck in the world yes And they'll need it with the latest trend in the Netherlands They need to compress all this stuff because even when they're on a train there on their phone They're not even looking out the window to see the sights. They're missing out yeah bet And then my favorite is a and I don't think this is something that's happening in the United States But in the Netherlands it is a big deal. Are you familiar with air drop? Yeah, I don't think just the idea that Amazon's gonna drop packages off No AirDrop is an Apple protocol. Don't know. I don't think it's compatible with with Android

43:15 with the Apple protocol and you can, if let's say you want to share a picture or mp3 or whatever you want to share. And then you look at your AirDrop and then anyone within your Bluetooth proximity will pop up and then you can select someone and it'll send them a message saying oh uh... you've got incoming picture whatever it is and they click OK and it starts transferring This is typically enabled and on, on Apple devices. But you can send to multiple people so train stations bus stops lines at the theater People are air dropping dick pics to the entire group of people who are standing there I don't want a dick pic for some stranger or anybody else for that matter That's part of the joke of it all

44:12 Is that, you know... You have this. So it's a gag? It's a gag! Of course people have these well not everybody I mean just face 90% of the phones out there are Samsung so you'd only be catching the Apple iPhone users Yeah there's enough of them believe me There's enough of them that it makes a difference And this is always just turned on automatically and received without a yes or no How do all these kids have all their shit on man they don't turn it off They keep everything on Bluetooth Wi-Fi and all of it. It's always on Location idiots yeah, these kids let me see where my friends are fine people gonna steal your stuff They share their locations all the time with each other Yeah, yeah dead Anyway hey people share no agenda clip yeah label it dick pic And then make it a show yeah same thing some promotion do some promotion for us people there you go

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Ray McGovern on Chuck Schumer and Intelligence Agency Power

Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern comments on Senator Chuck Schumer’s warning that intelligence agencies have "six ways from Sunday" to retaliate against opponents. McGovern compares the current state of the FBI to "J. Edgar Hoover on steroids," arguing that selective leaks are used to destroy political reputations. He asserts that mass surveillance has failed to prevent a single terrorist act and serves only as a post-crime forensic tool.

ray mcgovern· chuck schumer· fbi· cia· j. edgar hoover· mass surveillance· bill binney

45:14 All right back to the show. Yeah, well that was part of the show I guess it was always always keeping tabs on what's going on around us feel pretty damn old though You think you'd think you're kind of in tune and hip with the kids? No not at all So let's talk about Iran for a second Today we got some, I got some old clips from a year ago on the podcast. Unfortunately didn't write down the name of the podcast but it's the last thing I could find by Ray McGovern and I dug it up at least from June of 2018. I dug it out because somebody mentioned that they said, I'm not listening to Democracy Now show anymore ever since they kicked off Ray McGovern

46:01 And I said, what? And so I started looking and they mentioned where it was. And I found this guy's podcast he does a radio show podcast one of those combos right and there was McGovern ranting about one thing or another and it was some pretty good stuff So ended up getting three good clips. Ah excellent And we'll start with Ray McGovern on the Schumer Intel comment. This is during the year when, well I said 2018 but it was when they were talking about how Schumer said, wow you have messed with the intelligence agency and they got 12 ways this Sunday to get back at ya. Yeah and so they were commenting on this and this is McGovern on Schumer. Is that this is J Edgar Hoover on steroids and its not a stretch, not a stretch at all. That's just not the clip?

46:49 That's the Hoover on steroids clip. I don't think so, let me try it again. Ray McGovern on Schumer Intel comment? Yeah that's what I thought I played in light of that... So I guess not sorry got mixed up I'll try it again here we go In light of that comment you just made, I'm just curious to get your response to that famous notorious Chuck Schumer comment from early last year when he said let me tell you take on the intelligence community. They have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you. That should've sent a chill up the spine of every American but half of America apparently listened to that and said yeah they can really get ya and they thought that was normal. That's not normal!

47:36 I hope it's not normal. It didn't used to be normal, okay? But the fellow whose name we're searching for Eugene Robinson who is on TV a lot and he supposed to be a progressive fellow for The Washington Post. He wrote that this is a big mistake taken on the FBI. You don't do this. The FBI doesn't take this kind of criticism likely." Now, it was really very clear that this is the same Chuck Schumer attitude and I thought wow! Schumer just lost it you know? He's been around...Schumer has been around over 30 years 15 years as I recall in the House, 15 years in the Senate now

48:24 Democratic leader in the Senate. And he's saying this, this scarless thing about how the CIA has a hold on the president of United States? He must have just lost it! Well, I don't know about that anymore. It happens to reflect reality and maybe this was Schumer's way of saying look we don't want to get into this. We Democrats you know? We like the way the FBI and the deep state is subverting or suborning all the people who work for Trump so beware if you take these guys on they have six ways from Sunday to get back at ya it was pretty blatant

49:08 I thought that commentary was valid and then we'll go on to the Hoover clip. Is that so? This is J Edgar Hoover on steroids, and it's not a stretch at all to think that people like Well, like Nunes himself. Like all the other Republicans and Democrats realize that they can be destroyed by selective leaks and selective leaks is the name of the game here in Washington destroying their reputation so they have to be really careful not to vote against something that purports to be, in this case I'm using the right expression, purports to be defense against terrorist acts there's no one

49:50 I repeat, there is not one terrorist act that has proven to have been prevented by mass surveillance. You have the proverbial haystack under which no needles had been found and why is that? Well it's a simple matter of volume so let me just finish with this analogy here. J Edgar Hoover did something really well under his tutelage fingerprints Fingerprints were discovered. Okay, was that big? That was really big Did that prevent any bank robberies well No, no it didn't roll but but it helped catch the bank robbers

50:33 if we had the prints on file. So, the situation is analogous you collect all this stuff okay? You can't possibly use it to prevent a terrorist attack but once one occurs you look up at guys oh yeah here they're in like the Boston Marathon bomber there's a wicked talk to his wife that's what he said so all I'm saying here is that renewal of this very intrusive law which goes against the fourth amendment I should probably explain. We may be considered quaint or even obsolete, but we when I say we, I mean people like Bill Binney, Ed Loomis, Kirk Wiebe, myself, we swore a solemn oath just one and that solemn oath was to support and defend the constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic okay end quote now does that both have an expiration date?

51:31 Actually, it doesn't. Yeah it... what does that remind me of? It reminds you of somebody says okay a lot which has got to go but yeah well anyway he's by the way willing to do an interview with the show here this now I know what it reminds him is not that easy when you have all this data and we're saying oh look we tracked it exactly it's all after the crime has been committed that reminds me of technical stock traders You know, who use technical analysis? They're always one... I do exactly what you're gonna say. They are 100% correct!

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

Media Censorship and Operation Mockingbird

Ray McGovern claims he has been banned from progressive outlets like Democracy Now and Truthout for not adhering to specific narratives. The hosts discuss the marginalization of veteran journalists like Seymour Hersh and suggest that mainstream media remains under the influence of intelligence operations like "Operation Mockingbird." They cite Anderson Cooper and Chris Cuomo as examples of media figures who appear to follow intelligence community scripts.

ray mcgovern· democracy now· amy goodman· seymour hersh· cia· operation mockingbird· anderson cooper

52:12 after the fact. It's like, see this line? See it bounced off that Fibonacci and that's why... Yeah but when you look at in real time there is no predictor! You can't predict anything. Okay so this is the last clip and this is one I get... The reason I went to track this down..I'm sorry, I apologize for the podcaster who put this out because they cant' make a note of him And I just now want to look for him and couldn't find him So this is the one that really got me, though. And this is the one that apparently other people have noticed and it's deplorable what you're gonna hear. You see a lot of change in 55 years but there's one change that dwarfs all the other changes and that is we no longer have any real sense a free media and that is big I mean you've got progressive people all falling in. I've been banned

53:08 I've been banned from Democracy Now for two years because I don't say the right things. That's Amy Goodman's program, I've been banned from common dreams dot com from truthout dot com and from reader supported news now all these people used to publish my stuff automatically no more Yes, I don't understand this is a problem to me. It's everything's been subjugated It's not important anymore mainstream is not Important and by the way today's new generation they're not watching it anymore They don't care Twitter is the game? It's a game first you try to get status by getting a blue checkmark You can do it with 500 followers just have the right have the right story about who you are

53:57 And then the game is to try and get something into the mainstream news, which is not really happening. It hasn't been happening for the past couple of months because of Barr-Mueller-Trump... bleh! And then you continue to fight for points and you lose by getting deplatformed It's a game. It has nothing to do with... The game is ridiculous and he's right about the news, and Seymour Hersh was also... you know I haven't heard him say it but he's been kicked off one platform after another. He can't get printed anywhere from the looks of it. What's a Pulitzer? Screw them!

54:34 Doesn't have a couple even? A couple of Pulitzers. He might, but he does you know he gets it out of his system by writing books But you know well so this... You need to just sell books you need to get on the other Venues so they can promote the book. This is not big mailing list which he doesn't have I don't believe this is the frontier of the new intelligence Services the new intelligence community. It's not going to be mainstream That's well established They got all their old people in there looking at you Phil mud now And this isn't and this is a clip not about the FBI but the CIA and I can tell you by the way are really good At the operation Mockingbird, I thought it was hilarious to watch Anderson Cooper who was he interviewing about the CIA?

55:22 Anderson Cooper was CIA. He probably still is and the problem that he has is the problem they all have which is he has to be circumspect with what he says and so you will get freaked out, you've seen this with these other guys too they don't know quite what to say but the Cuomo guy that's on CNN had the same problem where he says You can't look at the WikiLeaks it's illegal! Go to the Wikileaks dot com page you have to let us tell you what it says This is because you're scared to death that you're gonna make some mistake and you're gonna get pulled in and perhaps jailed or shot. So if, if you wanted to reach today's

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

CIA Recruitment at Comic Book Conventions

The CIA is actively recruiting at events like Awesome Con, using games and pop culture references to attract scientists and cyber experts. Director Gina Haspel has emphasized a shift toward social media outreach, including the agency's new Instagram presence. The hosts suggest that the CIA is influencing storylines in entertainment, such as the show "Supergirl," to spread specific political messaging to younger audiences.

cia· awesome con· gina haspel· instagram· recruitment· supergirl· propaganda

56:04 The current generation, the one that matters. Let's just say millennials but 18-24, just in that 20s range you really want to reach them you really want to propagandize them even grab a few younger kids along the way what medium do you need to be in with your messaging? Well you have to be on Instagram You have to be on YouTube No I mean really...I'm talking storylines I'm talking Lear Foundation type stuff I'm talking real... No. They don't watch it anymore! Okay, Game of Thrones? At a comic book superhero convention in Washington called Awesome Con It doesn't matter which way you turn You're certain to see middle-aged men in Batman costumes Not exactly the place you'd expect a CIA discussion on recruiting foreign spies and yet

56:59 So what we came up with is this game. CIA staff historian Randy Burkett, wearing khakis and a polo shirt with the CIA logo leads the talk He hands out copies of a famous letter Albert Einstein wrote to President Franklin Roosevelt in 1939, warning about German efforts to develop an atomic bomb. Einstein was already in the US but in this game the twist is to pretend he's still in Nazi Germany and figure out how to recruit him without getting him arrested or killed it's just one quirky example at the agency's new outreach to a broader base potential recruits

57:37 The CIA says it needs a wider range of specialized skills than ever before, from linguists to scientists to cyber experts and openly advertises on Twitter and Facebook. and it just joined Instagram. In a recent speech at Auburn University, CIA Director Gina Haspel noted the change since she applied in the mid-1980s I wrote a letter to the CIA on my manual college typewriter and I mailed it to CIA with my resume And I didn't have an address so I just put CIA Washington DC And here I am. Haspel's two public speeches as CIA director have both been at universities with explicit recruiting pitches The CIA doesn't talk numbers, though broadly speaking it says applications shot up after the 2001 Al Qaeda attacks They dipped in more recent years But Haspel says... We just had our best recruiting year in a decade

58:36 And it's not surprising that they're here. Look at the success of The Avengers, the comic books, the stories... This is where they're focusing this is where they're going to be adapting storylines Getting messaging- my god look at Supergirl on The CW It's nothing but global warming and immigration. It's all Trump orange man bad? This is where its going And by connection, it means we'll have a lot of podcasters who are CIA spooks. Not us! No not us but there's a lot of comic book podcasters There are the best comic book podcasters or potential comic book podcasters I know of are not CIA

59:26 So not yet. Not yet I'm not a comic book guy but that I know a lot of people who are and People who I consider to be young adults who like comic books, and now you we need to it's less work Yeah We need boots on the ground That's what our CIA needs yeah well What we need for this show is we need people to keep an eye on it And if you're into coming books A See if you can get that job at the CIA That would really be cool for the show and B Tell us what you're reading if your see if you see anything suspicious supergirls I mean, it's on this television show. I have to get an email a week about that show at least You gotta see this out look at this. Oh look with it It's all promotion or door manipulation or call it whatever you want well advertising And with that

No Agenda Episode 1137 Artwork and Pete Buttigieg Imagery

The hosts credit NickTheRat for the Mother's Day artwork and discuss a high-quality Photoshop by Joshua Pettigrew. The image depicts Pete Buttigieg as Alfred E. Neuman from Mad Magazine. They praise the technical skill involved in the manipulation and note its use in the show's newsletter.

1:00:20 I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C on CIA John Cena. Well in the morning to you Mr Adam Curry also in the morning all ships and sea boots on their ground feet and air subs in the morning all the dames and knights out there And in the morning to the trolls in the troll room who I'm sure um some of them at least well they're trolling but you know they read a lot of comic books there NoahGenestream.com is where you can always check in, listen to any number of shows live 24-7 Of course we have repeats but then you can sit there in the troll room and troll along It's a lot of fun and sometimes very useful and helpful for the show And it's appreciated! And In The Morning To NickTheRat

1:01:02 He brought us the artwork for episode 1137. That was the Mother's Day edition, a beautiful happy Mother's Day just as standard old bouquet of flowers with nice happy mother. It's so I think we always do this don't we on Mother's Day and these kinds of occasions nothing too nutty art wise just basic yeah we don't do nutty stuff for Mother's day I used, because I couldn't resist. I used to no avail. I used Joshua Pettigrew's what me worry picture of Buttigieg looking like Alfred E Newman

1:01:42 And I ran this against the Internet's various attempts at this look. Yeah? For one thing, you used a No Agenda...I like to use the Mad Magazine logo for No Agenda at the top Right But we didn't use it for Mother's Day obviously because it has nothing to do with anything and we didn't even discuss it He was guessing, because he had to put some effort into this. This was a... And it was in the newsletter as the main logo or top of the newsletter. Just took some effort- It was the lead is what you're telling us? I don't know what we even call it but just looked at this and I looked at other attempts to do this and this is really a fine piece of Photoshop

1:02:27 moving and stretching, this had to take... Unless he has a special tool. This had to be a pain in the ass to do. It's just pretty outstanding. I suppose you could stretch, take the picture and then do just a resize and stretch it left or right then you could fine tune the idiosyncrasies of it like the missing twos and big ears but this really out, this was, I just had to use this thing before kind of washed back into the archives. It may be handy again, yeah it may be handy again. It might be! You never know... Although I don't think this guy's much of a player We appreciate- So we had to like that but meanwhile use that and i had a nice idea for well you kind of came up with the idea 5150 donation and it was the biggest dud for uh I'd say since the whole year And I'm kicking myself because I didn't learn until this morning I got an email

Executive Producer Sir Johnny the Swamp Knight

Sir Johnny the Swamp Knight contributes $202 and shares an anecdote about a roommate's awkward encounter with a loosely robed Senator Joe Biden in Arlington. The donor, now living in Tennessee, requests "dating karma" and a specific "Detective Dookie" jingle. The hosts struggle to find the vintage jingle in their database but grant him an executive producership.

joe biden· arlington· tennessee· detective dookie· thx-1138· george lucas

1:03:24 About this is episode 1138. 1138 is no insignificant number for the very same people who will become spooks in the future Everyone who's Star Wars nerd knows about 1138, don't you? I'm waiting THX-1138 That's a that was George Lucas' first movie and he always filmed that in the in some of the I think the Alameda Tunnel or something. Yeah, and then so he's always slipping 1138 into his other movies as an Easter egg now there you go we know I know we missed it we blew it

1:04:09 But I don't think that's the reason. If everyone decided not to donate to this show, it really is painful We have one associate executive producer who would be bumped up to executive producer as the only person to contribute to this segment of the show. He'll be the only producer, Sir Johnny The Swamp Knight came in with $202 and I'm sure he didn't expect this bonus. Thank you for producing the greatest podcast in universe and please accept his donation to continuing the great work-wookie of media deconstruction. I have thoroughly enjoyed your recent weeks of analysis and wanted to send along an anecdote back in 2005

1:04:49 freshly moved to the swamp with a college acquaintance of mine and we were rooming together in a rundown house in Arlington. While he was seeking a job on Capitol Hill, he was moonlighting as staff at a prominent DC restaurant downtown that was part of an upscale hotel One night he came home and told me he had an awkward encounter with the senator. As part of his duties, he sometimes delivered orders from the restaurant to guests at the hotel. Apparently then-Senator Joe Biden had ordered room service and answered the door in a very loosely tied robe." Oh no!

1:05:25 I asked if he thought the senator was coming onto him, but my roommate thought Biden was just obvious and this was just some poor schlub bringing him some food. In the past couple of months, I have vacated The Swamp for the fertile lands of Tennessee where my neighborhood is thankfully free of amygdala-induced lewd graffiti such as Pence Loves Penis! And fake Trump heads being impaled on the sword of a statue of Joan of Arc in the park next to my apartment. Let's get some pictures. As such, being in a new city I would request some dating karma so i can finally get one of those smoking hot girlfriends other producers are always talking about! A detective dookie jingle would also brighten my day considerably. Finally, I want to congratulate Adam on his impending marriage to the Keeper may you have many prosperous years on the Austin frontier cheers Sir Johnny The Swamp Knight In Exile So I feel really bad

1:06:24 I cannot find the Detective Dookie Poop Patrol jingle anymore. Detective Dookie Poop Patrol! Yeah, and then it's like smells like poop but i don't remember...I mean did we title something odd? I've tried special victims unit, I've tried... Look under San Francisco. San Francisco let me see uh no No, no it's one of our oldest jingles. That's why it's driving me nuts I'm a Garrett. I promise I will make good on this. I have to figure out why I can't find it Sp you may be sp you I was looking under the wrong what says P you special poopers unit oh? I can't even find any other poop jingles now You got something some issue going on has been gone off for a couple shows

1:07:18 Well, it's sure the database is even attached. The database is attached I don't know. Um, I just cannot for the life of me.

Donation Shortfall and Email Delivery Issues

The hosts express disappointment over a low volume of donations for the current episode, speculating on whether the upcoming wedding or technical email issues are to blame. They discuss Google's increasing pressure on email servers to use TLS encryption, which may be causing the No Agenda newsletter to be flagged or blocked for some users.

1:08:57 I take it personally every time this happens. It's like okay, I guess people aren't getting enough value I'm gonna obsess over this and we won't even have another live show until next ruin the wedding It might it bothers me and now I'm like what is it because I'm too busy with the wedding? I didn't haven't focused enough. I know I immediately blame myself for this you know even though We all know it's your fault It reminds me, I gotta we got him as a mention this. So unfortunately don't have his name and I think he put a note in and he's just uh... i can look at my cousin always the guy who is one of our producers who writes it from weed. I dont have his name handy but he sent a couple mugs

1:09:42 that say, I love weed. And it says California underneath and a couple bumper stickers and I guess he sent two of everything and one was for me and one was for you and I have to report unfortunately your mug got chipped. You are the worst Dvorak! Now what did this mug look like? Oh, it's good. The mug is absolutely just a gorgeous mug I mean it's embossed It's like...I don't know where they even made these mugs but it's like one of the best you know coffee mug One of the best. You- I don't if you use random logo'd coffee mug Some people refuse to use them because they're like coat hangers and your Joan Crawford

1:10:27 Some people make a collection of them. I have, my mug collection is random as handmade ones and once like the weed one and all the other ones that come along and some might make from zazzle so I sent you one from Zazzle on whichever did with it. The big No Agenda 10? Yeah i have that yeah I use this it's a huge one yes huge mm-hmm So I don't know if you use that kind of mug just generally, but I'll make sure we get another one or I'll bring in mine and I'll just... No. ...I'll use the other one for a time. Just bring me the chipped one it will be worth more than what I want in the long run. The problem is now because it got chipped into shipping, I'm thinking well I'll bring him to good mug. I was just joking about yours got chipped. Uh-huh But I'll bring you the good mug but then now I am fearful this gonna get shipped on their shipping down out two chip mugs

1:11:16 So what I want to do is, I just give the guy your addressing and ship you a mug directly. Somehow...I was already disappointed in the donations now i'm disappointed in so much more after this conversation about the mug. Seriously we do need your help! Please do this for us keep us on the- Our formula is this We go out, we hit people in the mouth Order Shut up This world! Shut up, Sleepy.

1:12:07 No, it is terrible. And the thing is I couldn't blame it on a newsletter not getting through because apparently got through more than usual! I mean I have my four or five monitors out there keep sending me these notes and it all went to primary. I don't think one person unless you didn't get the newsletter at all which is possible because that seems to be happening more than it should which I wonder about why that happened and also got one guest sent me He got a note from his provider saying that this email's not verified. Oh? That was fluke. Well, you know we're gonna start running into other problems I don't want to get too technical but Gmail definitely if you have if you're sending from an email server that doesn't do TLS encryption Google is now going to let you know hey this person didn't send it to your right and then eventually of course they'll just start blocking it

1:13:02 Unless you use encryption, which you should have I'll be the first to admit but they're kind of strong arming this. I don't like that very much. No it's the Google police. Google doesn't... well it's their email system look at our email system You volunteered to use it. You've signed off on it? Yeah, so you just use it and shut up That's the voice that's exactly the way the voice sounds that is Google Okay now I wanted just mention Iran which he took us right into Ray McGovern when I said Iran the last time But I'm concerned about what is happening and I'm not just concerned. I'm confused

Iran Tensions and Mysterious Oil Tanker Attacks

Tensions escalate in the Middle East following "mysterious attacks" on oil tankers near the Strait of Hormuz and a drone strike on a Saudi pipeline. While the U.S. points toward Iranian responsibility, European allies remain skeptical and request more evidence. The hosts express distrust of officials like John Bolton and Mike Pompeo, suggesting they are angling for a conflict.

iran· strait of hormuz· mike pompeo· john bolton· saudi arabia· uae· drones

1:13:43 to some degree. Well, we have I want to mention before you get into this and i do have one clip We got a note from a guy one of our producers who's a military guy I think we had a couple of these in saying that these are not big deals they have the flotilla strike group sitting there where it is off the coast of Iran. It's not a... this is common, it's nothing to get worked up about. Unless they start steaming towards the Straits of Hormuz then I would be getting a little more worked up about it but- But I think they are

1:14:18 I'm sorry? He says this, then they get worked up about it. Well... We'll play us your clip and give us your analysis No! I don't have a clip you said you have a clip i wanted to talk about Iran Oh I have a clip of course okay use this background This is Iran and the bogus ship attacks New images tonight showing the damage to a Norwegian oil tanker one of a series of ships struck in mysterious attacks including ships from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, both enemies of Iran as they were near the Strait of Hormuz. A critical pathway for much of the world's oil supply The Saudis are calling it sabotage President Trump issuing a warning if Iran is responsible

1:14:54 It's going to be a bad problem for Iran if something happens, I can tell you that. They're not gonna be happy As tensions rise with Iran Secretary of State Mike Pompeo today detouring to a European summit To share intelligence on Iran with skeptical allies We are very worried about the risk of conflict happening by accident With an escalation that is unintended really on either side Last week the US sending a carrier group to the region as show of force Are we going to a war with Iran? Are you seeking regime change there? We'll see what happens with Iran. If they do anything, it will be a very bad mistake. Andri joins us now. Andri any indication who's behind these attacks? Well, Iran said today that the attacks were alarming and regrettable but after Pompeo was briefing to the Europeans I talked to a diplomatic source who told me that the group felt that they still need more information about what the attacks were how it took place and who is responsible

1:15:49 The president made it clear if they believe that Iran is responsible, they're going to respond to them. All right Andrea thank you So it was not just the oil tankers now There's also a story about one of these Saudis pipelines being hit by weaponized drones Which would kind of be your first I'm not talking like big drones but by smaller drones this was the attack by Yemen yeah, but this Why okay, I understand what what is going on? But I don't like the actors in this play. I don't like Bolton. I think Pompeo was douche and Then and here's my problem Is that Bolton and maybe pump it they were all in this New York bathhouse scene with Trump And that's what I'm worried about if he if he's being blackmailed into this somehow which I think is really possible

US Embassy Evacuation in Iraq and the West Clark Seven

The State Department ordered the evacuation of non-emergency personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad, citing threats linked to Iran. A producer with a business in the "Green Zone" disputes the necessity of the move, calling it "horseshit." The hosts reference General Wesley Clark’s 2001 memo regarding plans to "take out" seven countries, including Iraq and Iran, suggesting the current moves are part of a long-standing neoconservative agenda.

iraq· green zone· wesley clark· john bolton· false flag· state department

1:16:41 Because there's all kinds of weird gay stuff that was going on back in the day with Roy Cohn, Bolton was a part of it. Just thinking about this guy creeps me out Pompeo, you know Trump needs to fire these people get them out that they're just angling. You see I mean if we could go over a lob of firecracker and start this thing as Get it going. I mean it's not gonna take much and listen to what Trump is saying They'll be real sorry now he did the same with North Korea But this is a little different scenario Well, here's this follow-up clip which is the leaving the Iraqi embassy. What is this about? Yeah I got an interesting note about that The State Department ordered all non emergency personnel to evacuate the US Embassy and Consulate in Iraq The orders in response to what the White House says is a threat linked to Iran though no further details were given Iraqi officials expressed skepticism

1:17:37 skepticism about any purported threats, as did a senior British official who is the deputy commander of the American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State. Tensions between the U.S. and Iran have continued to mount over recent days despite both parties saying they're not seeking war. The U.S. recently deployed a carrier strike group and a bomber task force to the region claiming a credible threat by Iranian regime forces though not showing any evidence. We have boots on the ground in the green zone there in Iraq at the embassy. And before you read that, I want to mention that this area which is...I know a couple of guys who worked in there This green zone is like Hayward It's like very large. It's rather large. It's a large small American town with housing and streets and fire hydrants and dogs on leashes

1:18:34 And we put up an embassy during the Bush administration, which is billions of dollars. It was going to be the embassy to run all embassies. It was going to centralize the embassy system in in the Middle East and it was this monstrosity another one of the classic try-to-make-it-as-ugly as you can and ominous and horrible looking Type of embassy which we've put out well done. We did These buildings are blocky and they're not architected, they're not attractive They're not they're just ominous and that and do we drew a ton of money into this one? And now we're just gonna abandon it or what are we talking about here? Well one of our producers

1:19:19 has a food services business at the embassy and was also evacuated, and he is livid. He said there's nothing going on total horseshit that actually it's been fantastic in the green zone but all around the embassy it's been good business for him as well. And now they're all getting sent home? This is total bullshit bullcrap! Well what does that tell us? That tells us They're just waiting for something to pop it off and you know this was one of the final of the West Clark 7. We should probably check it again, just to make sure that we've got all the countries covered This was two weeks after 9-11 General Wesley Clark was told this is what our plans were So I came back to see him a few weeks later

1:20:17 And by that time we were bombing in Afghanistan. I said, are we still going to war with Iraq? He said oh it's worse than that! He reached over on his desk and picked up a piece of paper and he said I just got this down from upstairs meeting the Secretary of Defense office today This is a memo that describes how we're gonna take out seven countries in five years starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon Libya Somalia Sudan and finishing off Iran. I don't think we really...I think we need to go back into Lebanon over We need a do-over what have we done in Lebanon? Not much Well he rebelized! Taking out doesn't mean taking over These guys aren't players anymore

1:21:02 Lebanon's a mess. Right, hey we should do- no agenda shop guys should do like a tour t-shirt like the West Clark Middle East Tour and just have you know... Just have a lot of rubble Well just on the back of the shirt you have all that all the tour dates which yeah and then and you cross them off each one is identifiable Each one has been rubbalized Yeah, those guys will do something fun. I know they can do it West Clark 7 world tour of the Middle East yeah now not that i think that if If there's a false flag of some sorts and yeah I'm gonna use that word because I think That's really what the idea is here this is This isn't what Bolton does he sold He sold The weapons in mass destruction memes all these things Why are we so stupid? We just and why are our representatives all for it

CHAPTER 19 / 42 Discussion

Media Warmongering and Intelligence Agency Blackmail

The hosts criticize major news outlets for abandoning anti-war principles and acting as "CIA outlets." They speculate that figures like John Bolton may be using blackmail or intelligence files—possibly related to historical "bathhouse" scenes or Roy Cohn—to influence President Trump's foreign policy. They also touch on historical CIA experiments with LSD in the San Francisco Bay Area.

new york times· washington post· cnn· john bolton· roy cohn· blackmail· lsd

1:22:02 Yeah, yeah. That's the one that gets me! Well that's why Tulsi Gabbard... The only people that well the other thing is I will bring this up even though you think everything is Instagram uh the fact we don't have the Ray McGovern out there and all the other people are liberals by the way Seymour Hersh, Ray McGovern all these guys and others that we've had clips on this show these people are extremely left And they have things to say that are like, hey wait a minute what you guys doing? This is crazy. They're just not being allowed to have any voice I mean the only voice of reason and we're centrists Is this show

1:22:45 I mean, there's a few other shows that will say things that seem to be reasonable and rational. But most everybody especially the big networks of the news, the Big Four which would be New York Times Washington Post is very leftist and warmongering In other words, they violate the principles of the old left. That's for sure where there supposed to be peace knicks. There are no peace knicks there at The Washington Post and The New York Times. Where is the peace knicks? And then you have CNN and MSNBC which is NBC which manages to get its message across on all sorts of levels. ABC and CBS are ones that see pretty much a CIA outlet

1:23:31 And the other one is I don't know what they're up to, the ABC folk. Rubble on the double! Yeah well i just trying to figure out what's going on in Trumps head and either he's not even looking at it but he's making the right noises if you want to kick something off maybe he doesn't understand just how idiotic and crazy Pompeo... Well he did step back to 2015 when he was bitching about this sort of thing yeah about Just going around and making war wasting money on these stupid wars and wasting American lives It's annoying, and he complained bitterly in his big giant speeches. What is he saying now? Well then that can only mean That he doesn't intend anything to happen But he doesn't know who he's dealing with mustache man is no good the walrus is a Michael Walras yeah well this this guy gets us into war that's what he does

1:24:32 And again, so then I go back... It's the last vestige of the neocons. Yes and that's why I go back to what I said earlier we know about the New York bath houses We know about all the weird stuff you guys were doing So to me it must be so severe or maybe the intelligence agencies did have six ways till Sunday to get back at him But this does not fit the model. I would think in New York, which you're referring to and also Plato's retreat Yes was a heterosexual operation that was major and all the other crap going on in New York and San Francisco. The Zephyrus late All that stuff is going on And San Francisco was one of the CIA strongholds because that's where a lot of the LSD experimentation Was taking place right? You know in this area and including some spraying of stuff

1:25:23 stuff in the air and there's a lot of crazy activity in the Bay Area. They must have film? Yeah, possibly I would think that those bathhouses were as raucous as portrayed especially the gay ones and there was a number of them into San Francisco too yeah they filmed a lot of these guys who look who is here holy shit guy he's a senator let's just get to get get the camera running on this guy why not Well, if you and I were running the show. It's a blackmail operation that is what it is! So something is going on well we'll see we'll see but um...I don't like it I'm very worried about it yeah well Bolton has got to go Yeah and Pompeo too Why who hired him? How did he get in there was it was it one of his... He showed up with a VHS tape Was it Mattis who brought him in? Trump brought him in he showed up with the VHS tape Who told Trump to bring him in

New Zealand's Christchurch Call and Internet Censorship

Following the Christchurch mosque attacks, New Zealand has spearheaded the "Christchurch Call" to eliminate extremist content online. Major tech companies like Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have joined the initiative, which the hosts describe as a move toward a "police state" for the internet. Facebook has already implemented a "one-strike" policy for its Live streaming service to appease advertisers.

1:26:21 I don't know, Bolton just showed up with that mustache and said remember this? Why not? Remember this mustache? Huh? Remember this stache baby? Creepy. You brought it up. There's some weird stuff going on in New Zealand after the Muslim mosque massacre in The Christ Church People are receiving what they are categorizing as political visits, home visits from the police to talk with them. And there's people doing YouTube videos of them and the cops come by and say yeah we just want to talk about what you've been posting on Facebook There's just multiple reports of this taking place but also legislatively speaking

1:27:20 New Zealand is trying to basically censor the entire internet. New Zealand, we've noticed this not within the last year or two but maybe four or five years ago... New Zealand is a borderline police state already with everyone smiling about it I mean it's like a happy place and there are a lot of Americans who bought property over there and I know one of the earliest ones Doug Carlson used to be one of the principals at Broderbund And he bought a big place there and abandoned it. He says, no it's not for me and he moved out I mean who is going to move in New Zealand? A lot of Americans attempt to move into New Zealand and many give up. Well there is now a consortium called the Christ Church Call

1:28:09 ChristChurchCall.com subtitled, To Eliminate Terrorist and Violent Extremists Content Online." And I'll tell you there's only three sections to this very small website. I'll tell you who the quote-unquote supporters are to start right off companies countries and organizations that support The Christ Church Call are listed below and then they have lots of lots of countries The United States, not one of them but Australia Canada the EU France Germany Indonesia the United Kingdom Sweden the Netherlands Jordan Japan. But the companies who are in on the Christchurch call are more interesting Amazon Dailymotion Facebook Google

1:28:51 Microsoft, Quant, Twitter, YouTube. And this site is maintained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade This is not just some little organization this is the government The call is... so they have a page that says the call A free and open secure internet is a powerful tool to promote connectivity, enhance social inclusiveness and foster economic growth. The Internet is however not immune from abuse by terrorists and violent extremist actors This was tragically highlighted by the terrorist attacks of 15th March 2019 in the Muslim community of Christchurch Terrorists attacks that were designed to go viral

1:29:31 The dissemination of such content online has adverse impacts on the human rights of the victims and our collective security, and on all people all over the world. So what they want to do? The call outlines collective voluntary commitments from governments and online service providers intended to address the issue of terrorist and violent extremist content online and to prevent the abuse of the Internet as occurred in and after the Christchurch attacks To that end, we the governments, plural, commit to counter the drivers of terrorism and violent extremism by strengthening the resilience and inclusivenessness of our societies to enable them to resist terrorist and violent extremist ideologies including through education building media literacy to help counter distorted terrorist and violent extremist narratives. And the fight against inequality there you go

1:30:29 So they're gonna have frameworks, they're going to have awareness campaigns development of industry standards of said voluntary frameworks regulatory or policy measures consistent with a free open and secure internet and international human rights law. This sounds to me like I'm from the government i'm here to help and it's... None of it sounds good no And if they're coming into people's houses and asking to have a chat, you know, can you imagine that? You know, you have a clip that... Mr. Curry! I have it somewhere So if you had somebody knock on your door there in Austin and say... Mr. DC Vorak Open up the door Jebediah!

1:31:25 Yes, exactly Jebediah. If you had somebody knock on your door just a couple guys You know they're just standing in their suits and they told you they weren't Mormons They were actually from the government. They wanted to have a chat about the podcast It would be very disconcerting no kidding yeah we want to talk about the podcast. Well, so here's an article Facebook announces—Facebook one of the partners of Christchurch Call—Facebook announces changes on eve of Christchurch Call. Excuse me this is about their live streaming policies starting today people who have broken certain rules on Facebook including our dangerous organizations and individuals policy will be restricted from using Facebook Live we now will apply a One-Strike policy

1:32:21 to Facebook Live in connection with a broader range of offenses. From now on, anyone who violates our most serious policies will be restricted from using live for set periods of time 30 days for example starting on their first offense You see, we went from the three strike rule now to one strike rule and pretty sure you have to be verified and then you just can't use the platform. But again this is only... it's not to save your ass! This is to protect Facebook from advertisers leaving because they don't want to be associated with killers And that's why they're very like well easy yeah ease into this Well? Well?!

Adblock Plus Investment in Factmata Fact-Checking

Adblock Plus has invested in Factmata, a London-based startup that uses AI to fact-check online content. The hosts warn that this allows advertising companies to become the "arbiters of truth," potentially sanitizing news for users. The project is backed by tech figures including Biz Stone, Craig Newmark, and Mark Cuban.

adblock plus· factmata· biz stone· craig newmark· mark cuban· fact-checking

1:33:07 Well, what? Well... if you were an advertiser what would you do? Oh no I'd want the same thing of course. Of course There was another article that I wanted to share about this. It's a problem by the way, we talk about this... The reason that no agenda show works so well is because we don't have these sorts of influences so we can free range our discussions without having to worry about somebody calling us after the show is over and people need to be reminded of this it's extremely important they're the ones who should be supporting the show and you have to pay the price to get this sort of discussion the boundaries set by advertisers and corporations that don't want any of this discussed because it might hurt their business. I wanted to give you one more, this kind of falls under the purge heading Adblock Plus has now invested in Factmata

1:34:05 This is, oh guess what? Another fact-checking company that will be the arbiters of your truth online. And what's it got to do with Adblock? Well Adblock is actually an advertising company You kidding me? Adblock lets... I know, they sell access. Yeah so they're going to do it for news now. Of course people will voluntarily install this. This is.. People if you think that the... Don't install it! The networks and you know the social networks are going to be able to even What's the word I'm looking for sanitize your news? No, you'll do it. You'll install a block of yourself You'll think it's the right thing to do but this particular fact Mada who will now be fact-checking for you and probably through your adblock plug in is A London startup financed by biz stone He's of Z of Twitter Twitter Craig Newmark

1:35:07 Wikipedia Craigslist Craig's list Jimmy Wales he's not on it Craig Newmark Mark Pincus of Pinterest right was a pin drill I know now he was something else who some gate the gaming company Pincus was the crazy. So I want Craig Newmark telling me what's right with and no, no, no left winger No, that's not the guy you want the other Foundation partner financial foundation partners Mark Cuban So now we know that... What's Mark Cuban got to do with anything? He must smell money. Of course! How else do you think how else do you think you're actually gonna get through it's not about whether they think your being truthful or not, its how much you paid look how long until eventually MailChimp comes to us and says you know guys

1:36:06 You're really gonna have to pay a little extra for us to have this all white listed with Gmail because they really don't like you and, y'know...you gotta start ponying up. It's bound to happen! People get off Gmail. The helm by the way. They won't. Here is the problem we have people won't get off Gmail. And then they get some other system, they're still bound by a bunch of blacklists and other things because nobody runs an email server without falling back on those things and you have to kind of trust them so there's lot of microservices architecture that goes through the mail before it even comes into your box

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

The Decline of Internet Freedom and The Helm Email Server

The hosts lament the end of the "golden age" of the internet as independent email servers are increasingly blocked by Gmail's "trustworthiness" filters. They discuss "The Helm," a hardware appliance designed to help users run private servers by using a paid SMTP relay service. They advocate for a return to "value for value" and open-source models to combat corporate control.

internet freedom· gmail· the helm· smtp· open source· shareware· gab

1:36:46 So that's not going to go away and that could get worse. And I could even be worse than Gmail. Yeah, so you can't win this is during the golden age of the Internet where you actually have some freedom. This is going away This is going away and it's going away soon. And it's the only time I ever go on about, you know things bad things are gonna happen because that's not what the show is about. The shows about to show you how to analyze things but this is a bad thing. It's gonna happen as happening as we speak and just enjoy what you have now because And I put the show in this category. It's not, we're below the radar as you can see by our last lousy donations but it wouldn't take much to get once it gets on the radar, it's like a target and then next thing you know there's no more show. Yeah even now I've been running my own email server for over a decade at least and throughout time it's been...I've had the server different places

1:37:49 But I've also had it at home, which i haven't done in a while. You have the cloud server for now but there's a number of very interesting devices out that well first of all the problem has presented itself is if you put a mail server Even on just a fresh IP address that you view somewhere you will now even start to get messages back from Google from Gmail saying We have rejected this email due to lack of trustworthiness of the IP address it was sent from. By the way, understandable spam fighting initiative but it's not really how the internet works especially when you now and this is not happening with people who emailed me about it Google says well you can actually get through to our machine but do you have to put a special code in the TXT field of your domain registration

1:38:44 your DNS sorry your DNS registration which of course allows Google to track what the hell is going on with your mail server and then you but You get a dashboard so if you could follow along with whatever they're seeing So running a server at home is almost no longer an option Whereas I thought there were some appliances that came out of late. Well, there's one little boxes the Louisville boxes I don't know this I'm going to tell you it's called the helm The Helm, and I think it's thehelm.com And what they've done is they will actually...and does a number of things this box but it looks pretty decent but to circumvent the problem of being a trusted email sender because the receiving side has pretty much no problem They are going to provide a service at some amount annually or per month

1:39:41 that does the SMTP, so the outbound email traffic that you're sending. And it's really kind of a trick, its masking it so you'll at least be trusted but its still not a perfect independent solution And you have to pay. Yeah, yeah you gotta pay exactly right You have to pay! If you want to play you gotta pay All I want is for educators please teach your kids how the internet works let them set up a web server let them make some mistakes help them understand how email works just show them a few things maybe one or two of them will get a clue

1:40:20 Because yeah, it's all a mind trick. It's purely manipulation. It's like the AOL. You're safe here on Facebook yes Twitter... Keyword, yeah keyword. That's coming too! Keywords are coming they're building into the browser. The only guy... Key word no agenda The only guys I have true faith in a hope in and some faith but I don't think that they can if they really want to make money it won't happen is Gab. The gab guys they're doing smart stuff especially that dissenter and now they've built their own browser You know, this is what's cool about the open source stuff. Eventually you get people saying I'm sick and tired of what Google is doing with Chrome or Chromium and I'm going to take this an add this into it then you get something cool The problem when they try to put business models in place where I think the only way to go is still value for value

1:41:15 great browser that circumvents a lot of this crap and is great for me, I'll donate money. It's like the pie hole. The pie hole is free you just donate if it was worth anything to you. It's been fantastic! That's what needs to happen we need to get away from constantly trying to make money with this shit. Harkening back to the days before it was ever called shareware...it was called freeware Yes, and this was in the late 70s and early 80s And you get and most guys would be writing their school. It was called freeware and it was free Yeah, I didn't have any gimmicks. It wasn't hampered it wasn't handicapped who wasn't didn't have a time thing that made him run out

1:41:58 It just was free. And then if you wanted to buy, uh, if you wanted to give the guy some money he would have a little thing and they're asking for money beg for money and so okay we'll give you some money cause I use this thing and there's a lot of freeware eventually it became shareware and then it came with these gimmicks where you can use it three times that doesn't work anymore or all you can use it but won't do this. You spent disabled disabled wear And the whole thing fell apart. But in the early days, it was very much like that and if you go before this personal computer there was a lot of that except for these very expensive enterprise systems where you had... You'd pay $10,000 for a word processor. None of this is gonna happen

California Vaccine Bill SB 276 and Measles Outbreaks

California Bill SB 276 seeks to shift the authority for medical vaccine exemptions from private doctors to state health officers. Activist Riza Islam argues that the "measles outbreak" is being exaggerated to scare legislators into passing the law, benefiting pharmaceutical companies like Merck. The hosts highlight the irony of California mandating vaccines while decriminalizing the knowing exposure of partners to HIV.

california· sb 276· mmr vaccine· merck· riza islam· cdc· measles

1:42:44 No. The public's too stupid, nobody cares... Well not our NOAgenda producers they understand what's going on. Yeah it is a small number of people but it's very important because when I read headlines like Twitter launches new search features to stop the spread of misinformation about vaccines What's happening is you're being presented with some kind of fact that you can never get this information, You won't be able to search for it. You won't be able to find it and by the way... ...You're not even allowed to have an alternative view or even look or question anything! And I think actually I found what this may be about This uh... The MMR push

1:43:23 Which has just been fantastic. Now, I don't know what besides the obvious profit motive for Merck who have reported great profits blowing through quarter expectations and specifically because of their MMR vaccine sales Yeah There was there's a show on Sirius XM It's Swayz morning show it's an urban which is radio code for black people So it's an urban show and they bring on this Riza Islam, who I think is he may be of the Nation of Islam. He certainly has the whole vibe with his suit in his bow tie so yeah I'd say he's there but he talked about something very interesting which

1:44:09 goes beyond just profit margins for one pharmaceutical. This could be much bigger, again we're being told of outbreaks we have to be very afraid it fines have up to two and a half thousand euros in Germany if people are not vaccinated or what is it measles negative I mean they have all these scary terms now that are being brought in And here's what he said. The measles outbreak, number one people have to understand that when it comes to the measles between 2004 and 2014 there were no measles deaths from the actual disease but there were 108 deaths from the measles vaccine okay number one Number two SB 276 pertains to the relationship between the patient and the doctor

1:44:56 So what they're trying to do is remove the patient from being handled by their doctor and they're trying to give that authority to a health officer. A person who's never met you, never met your child pretty much doesn't know anything about you but they are going to be able to decide what to do as it pertains to vaccinating or inoculating your child I think he's nailing it with that! I didn't know about this bill that was in place They've all this is a holy grail for well, for vaccines for sure. And for the MMR is to push it so that no longer do you have to get and talk to your doctor or get an okay? No, you just go to a technical person who just does it I think that's a big deal. Well we have some pharmacy pharmacist producers bitching

1:45:42 You got the note too, I guess. No! Saying hey they're telling us we have to give the vaccines whether you want to or not What do you mean? Whether...I don't understand A lot of pharmacies give vaccines especially in California Right Get your flu shot and this guy says they're not interested in giving flu shots but they have to Apparently some bill or something passed, they just have to do it. It was part of their agreement with the chain that they're part of. You're giving flu shots whether you like it I don't like giving shots too bad

1:46:17 This makes total sense though. I mean, they're cutting think about if you don't have to convince doctors anymore to do this, he didn't have to stop buying a bunch of hookers like my old Dr Smith who said yeah, you know what people are over vaccinated one time when it can add that guy. Yeah, the guy does. He's no good so I go in there and I say uh there was a bunch of promotions on television just like 10 years ago hepatitis B I said, what about this shot? Am I supposed to get one of these. He says why are you working with blood right and then i said no he says well then don't get the shots. This clip continues with RZA Islam which is 100% against medical practices it's against the Hippocratic Oath that's not how the Constitution works And what was the verdict of that bill SP 276 It passed through the health committee

1:47:14 through the health committee, which means it has to go through another step in order for it to become law. So once that happened—which by the way most people have to understand when you're talking about an outbreak, the CDC has specific guidelines as to what they determine to be an outbreak. Okay? There has to be a certain number of people within a certain proximity or within a certain square mileage. They have not reached that number of people okay so what their saying is they are exaggerating to try to scare legislators into pushing laws or pushing bills through to become law. Okay, and as a matter of fact right now they're saying there's an outbreak in LA because one student caught the measles at UCLA Medical Center How is that an outbreak? So they're trying to push that too, as I said scare legislators into pushing this law which is once again violating the US Constitution

1:47:56 California puzzles me. Whereas we're forcing people, you have to take this MMR shot but meanwhile they passed legislation that you can knowingly expose a sexual partner to HIV? Yeah I know And they did this to de-stigmatize HIV So on the one hand like ohhh and even if you knowingly donate HIV positive blood It's no longer a crime in California. But, oh everyone get your shots! Forced gotta get it! Get a fine! I'm almost borderline convinced that California is some sort of political experiment. It's nuts

CHAPTER 24 / 42 Discussion

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and The Sunrise Movement

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez recently claimed her previous statement about the world ending in 12 years was "dry humor" and sarcasm. Despite this, the Sunrise Movement continues to hold large events promoting the Green New Deal to young activists. The hosts compare the movement's chanting and rhetoric to historical authoritarian tactics.

alexandria ocasio-cortez· green new deal· sunrise movement· climate crisis· bernie sanders

1:48:45 It's like this. What can I what else can we do with these people? We have a pretty stable climate situation here and we got for example, yeah much less haven't changed since 1880 let's fuck with it. Let's see if we could convince these boneheads that they're gonna die next week or within the next 12 years Okay Go for that. I'm all in let's see what we can do which by the way did you see AOC tweeted that, oh you don't understand humor? Apparently it was a joke. Oh the garbage disposal thing? No the 12 years we're gonna die! Oh I thought she was saying that about the garbage disposal video are you sure? Now this is about when she said months ago

1:49:33 Hey, I know about the 12 years you're gonna die. Yeah no she was talking specifically about the 12 years from our World War II. She said it was just a joke? She was just kidding? Yes! What is she a stand-up comic?! No!! No for sure... Let me see if i can uh i can find this..I can read it to you verbatim yeah here it is hold on let me open this up uh she tweeted it yes um So someone who said something nasty about her and then she replied, this is a technique of the GOP to take dry humor plus sarcasm literally and fact check it like the world ending in 12 years thing. You'd have to be the social you'd have to have the social intelligence of a sea sponge to think that it's literal sounded pretty damn literal to me

1:50:32 Sounded literal to me. She had no indications that it was a tumor and now you see all these kids saying it Why are these kids saying it? Well, why are these AOC kids going around with the well Let's we want the Green New Deal because they're all gonna die in 12 years. Was that a joke too? Well apparently yeah So this is another where somebody is doing a little damage control here. Yes, the people behind her who actually write her tweets most of the time. Yeah for the course there's some damage control because it's gotten out of hand and children now believe it maybe they're sitting around going oh crap what did we do but no it's not just AOC its entire establishment has been lying to these children yeah Here so there was a couple big conferences

1:51:24 Let me see, I thought i recorded this. Oh yes! So they did this big Sunrise Movement event and AOC and Bernie spoke at it was like two-and-a-half hours It's all on C-SPAN. I've not seen it all but... Well first of all I just had to get the opening as the director of The Sunrise Movement now This is a very important group who have been funded to basically program children into thinking that they, you know now the extrapolation is oh we're gonna this the world will deteriorate and we will die if we haven't done something within 12 years then it was 10 years. Now Greta Thunberg says it's five years that we have to get going but they had a big event

1:52:19 Green New Deal! Green New Deal! Green New Deal! Green New Deal! I mean if you're st... doesn't that sound kind of Nazi-ish to you? Seriously, coming out like that and then hey this is the start. This is the start of the entire thing and this is what we have to do The Green New Deal which was a House Resolution Senate resolution that failed house resolution That just failed no one even none of the Democrats voted for it It didn't really say that much but now were chanting it Green! New! Deal!

Bill Nye's Profane Climate Change Segment on John Oliver

Bill Nye "The Science Guy" appeared on John Oliver's HBO show using profanity to emphasize the urgency of the "climate crisis." The hosts criticize the use of shock tactics and swearing, suggesting Nye has run out of substantive arguments. They note that his previous attempts at a successful television comeback have largely failed.

bill nye· john oliver· climate change· hbo· photosynthesis

1:53:09 Green New Deal! Green New Deal! Everybody welcome, it is so incredible to see you all out tonight. Thank you for being here. Now listen... My name is Varshini Prakash I am one of the co-founders and executive director of Sunrise Movement And we are here for a super special last store stop at the road to the Green New Deal. Thank you for making it here tonight! Yeah, and so just went on and on... Some economists that came up with the fact if we implemented any of these programs would be out 14 trillion dollars We don't need not go any further than Germany who spent 160 billion on their energy transition, the Energiewende

1:54:08 Which was as recent as last week, was reported as a complete failure and everyone's disappointed. And they don't really know what to do then open up the nuclear plants and get back at least some gas! What idiots? I know... Let me see we saw that one coming down Broadway. I would say the best Green New Deal climate change clip this week came from John Oliver who is all in And he brought in Bill Nye, the science guy who we've been tracking for several years. He's resurgence and this is a nice little... He's good agent

1:54:53 Yes, it must have done well. I don't know because this one that's on HBO so language requires any agent anybody can get him his own show where there's Where they had these disgusting? Yeah, but the show is now canceled isn't it yeah of course It was but he got in the show and Can't make the show a success. So now we came in to do a bit on last week's news tonight, what is it? This week's news last night John Oliver Show. We know yes yes John Oliver Show let's call it what it is. And, you know so that he's like two or three bits and this is the final bit and you know He's talking about climate change but it was in the last part that a whole but there was kind of a Coming together of things we've been looking at one Bill Nye selling climate change But also the necessity to cuss incessantly because that's what frustrated people do when they're out of things to say

1:55:50 So he's behind his little science desk, he's got a globe. You know an actual globe on the stand and he has got a fire extinguisher and he has a blowtorch Here I've got an experiment for you safety glasses on By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising... ...the average temperature on Earth could go up another 4 to 8 degrees. What I'm saying is the planet's on fucking fire! There are a lot of things we could do to put it out. Are any of them free? No, of course not! Nothing is free you idiots! Grow the fuck up! You're not children anymore. I didn't mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12 But your adults now and this an actual crisis Got it?!

1:56:33 Safety glasses off, motherfuckers. Woo! I mean can you believe it? Yeah...I could believe it Unnecessary. You're exactly right, he ran out of things to say thinks it's you know did a little cursing in there makes people perk up because that audience loves that sort of thing. You can only do that once or twice when you as you know Bill... Otherwise just sound like an idiot Right well he's the Bill Nye the science guy who was a friendly guy He's not supposed to be cussing and swearing. Cussin' away like that So for effect it worked but you can't keep doing that unless everyone wants him then I'll do that bit Well maybe he is mad at his agent

Canadian Climate Minister Catherine McKenna's Parliament Rant

Canadian Minister of Environment and Climate Change Catherine McKenna is seen yelling in Parliament about a "climate emergency." She defends the government's carbon tax and rebate system while accusing conservative politicians of spreading misinformation. The hosts note the official shift in terminology from "climate change" to "climate crisis" or "emergency."

canada· catherine mckenna· climate emergency· carbon tax· justin trudeau· doug ford

1:57:15 So we have up north, up north in Canada. We have climate change of course is really... I think they discuss it more up there than we do and we had-I didn't realize but there's a woman up there some one of our producers sent me these or send me links that is the minister of climate change! What? Yeah, Catherine McKenna. Nice! And she is... so she does this rant on mostly in French and then she does a little English version I just want to play her there i got two clips of her because I want to play first heard talking to the press and then I want to play it

1:57:53 her talking in Parliament where she just, you can't barely hear it because she's yelling and screaming. She's a maniac! But here is Catherine McKinnon and this pretty much reflects the Trudeau government and the Liberal Party up in Canada. We have conservative politicians from Doug Ford who are spending $30 million of taxpayer money to fight climate change, to spread misinformation about our Climate Action Incentive where we're putting a price on pollution. 80% of families will be better off." He's not telling that story they're cutting programs to help with flood management during a flood planting tree planting programs you know you have Jason Kenney talking about going back to cool getting out of it making it free to pollute and then you have Andrew Scheer

1:58:37 who has no climate plan except he's meeting with oil lobbyists and he is committed to making it free to pollute, but also misleading their constituents. Conservatives are sending flyers out about tax incentives that people could get back in their ridings when they file their taxes but they left out the most important tax incentive you can get – the Climate Action Incentive Rebate so yes we need a serious conversation about whether are It's just focused on a climate emergency, it's focused on the science. It's focused

1:59:35 in our north or people who live in northern communities, they're still relying on diesel and we give them incentives because life has to be affordable. If we immediately remove those subsidies the incentives that it would be very expensive. It's already too expensive in the north so unintended consequences and we've seen this with Jagmeet Singh he's flip-flopped now on whether he's going to support an LNG project in BC And it was on and on hold up, but I'm just gonna say in the troll room There was a question do people really care about this climate crap? And I've just wanted to answer that yeah when you have to play pay a climate tax As such as in France. Yeah for six months or pissed about it Or Canada you all you pay 800, but you get 150 back whoa good deal yeah people care about this totally

2:00:27 She uses the term climate emergency. Yeah, although it should be climate crisis. Climate crisis is the preferred term. Get the memo! Now I want to make that clear to everybody, that we have switched from global warming and climate change to climate crisis. Climate emergency is not correct but she's using it She needs to get a memo she probably will But here she is in parliament where she really likes... You know she's an MP and but she's also you know one of the ministers She feels obliged to be able to lecture the parliamentarians about how bad things are. If you're like the party opposite, you're worried about that, you're worried about costs You should be worrying about the cost of we are passing on to our kids The costs of climate change! We have got an emergency here and the party opposite is not telling the truth to Canadians

Millennial Skepticism of the Moon Landing

A surprising trend among millennials reveals widespread skepticism regarding the original 1969 moon landing. The hosts attribute this to the influence of Netflix documentaries and the modern technological feats of Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos. Younger generations reportedly find it difficult to believe that "cigar tubes" from 50 years ago could achieve what modern rockets still struggle with.

moon landing· millennials· elon musk· netflix· technology· rockets

2:01:18 We are paying, we've gone from $400 billion a year to over 2 billion, 400 million to two billion because of the cost of climate change. Why don't they step up? Why don't they step up for climate action? Why don't they step up for the economy in the future and stop misleading Canadians! What is the misinformation? Did she specify that everything I noticed with the Millennials They do believe most of what the climate, you know... they're not really well informed I find but they believe what they're hearing about the climate crisis and it's understandable when you see your peers going out and protesting it for it. But the same Millennials now all of them categorically say they do not believe in the original moon landing that was a big surprise to me Wow! And here's the reason why

2:02:19 They're watching Netflix documentaries about Elon Musk and all these other guys, Bezos. There's a lot out there but in particular Elon Musk... And they all go like wait a minute! He's trying to do this but 50 years ago We had these cigar tubes and we threw some people up there in suits And they walked around they bounced and an Elon Musk can't get back there. What what did this make? Technology has evolved This is what they're saying look at the technology, and of course They're right The technology in your pocket is now a hundredfold maybe a thousand times more powerful than the fly-by-wire stuff that were in the in the original rockets and

2:03:04 capsule in the lunar module. Yeah, and they're not bashful about it either and it's not considered a kooky thing to say anymore that's what I like about it like man yeah and they all they understand what can be done with video totally but climate change all-in oh yeah they're all in on climate change They don't look around them. I mean, the thing about climate change is just where it and by the way they had a look at one more climate, the climate activists in New York City this is again but the irony of all this is that Democrats who have promoted this to an extreme as opposed to Republicans who said no there's bull crap

New York Pipeline Protests and Hunger Strikes

Climate activists in New York City launched a hunger strike to protest Governor Andrew Cuomo's potential approval of the Williams Pipeline project. The activists claim the pipeline, which would carry fracked gas from Pennsylvania, threatens "democracy and the climate." The hosts mock the inclusion of "democracy" as a casualty of a harbor pipeline.

andrew cuomo· williams pipeline· hunger strike· fracking· new york harbor

2:03:48 The Democrats promote it and there's the ones who get inundated with the protesters. So here's the climate activists in New York City protesting at Cuomo's, Governor Cuomo's offices. In New York City a group of climate activists are on the second day of a three-day hunger strike in front of Governor Andrew Cuomo office ahead of this Thursday's permitting deadline for the proposed Williams Pipeline project which would carry frack gas from Pennsylvania's shale fields under New York Harbor. Activists are urging Cuomo, who has called for New York's own Green New Deal to halt the project which they say will harm New York waters public health safety democracy and the climate. Oh! Democracy and the climate? What?! How does it harm democracy? I don't know. Listen carefully what they say is going to harm

2:04:37 I want to play the whole thing, actually. This is only 27 seconds. In New York City a group of climate activists are on the second day of a three-day hunger strike in front of Governor Andrew Cuomo's office ahead of this Thursday's permitting deadline for the proposed Williams Pipeline project which would carry frack gas from Pennsylvania's shale fields under New York Harbor. Activists are urging Cuomo, who has called for New York's own Green New Deal to halt the project—which they say will harm New York waters, public health, safety, democracy and the climate. public health, New York water safety democracy. Safety democracy that very safety the very roots of our democracy and by the way this is one of the things I've noticed insane people do this too by the way but which is you keep adding on I bitched about this in a couple shows ago about people had they have a good point to make and they make the point and then they start adding onto it

2:05:38 Instead of saying that I don't like it because of this, they say I don't like it because of this and there's a valid dislike. But then they say and then there's this and then that there's this and then there's this and then there's this right start adding on to it like they're like an insane person does they can't stop talking. Democracy! Yeah, so it's going to ruin democracy if you put a pipeline somehow in the harbor. What does that got to do with democracy? If you don't donate to the No Agenda show, you will harm peace and in fact democracy itself! I'm gonna show my support by donating to no agenda imagine all the people who could do that oh yeah they'd be fab

Peerage Appointments and Gender-Neutral Titles

The hosts process several donations and appoint new knights to the No Agenda Roundtable, including Sir Base Vice. A discussion arises regarding a gender-neutral title for a "gravel" (a donor of $1,000 or more) who does not identify as a Knight or Dame. Suggestions include "Eunuch of the Roundtable" or "Jester," though the peerage committee has yet to make a final decision.

Upcoming Interviews with The Mooch and Cliff Stoll

The hosts announce a special Sunday show featuring interviews with Anthony "The Mooch" Scaramucci and physicist Cliff Stoll. Stoll, known for his work on TechTV and his hobby of making glass Klein bottles, discusses his opposition to computers in the classroom. The hosts explain the mathematical properties of the Klein bottle as a one-sided Mobius band.

2:14:07 Salmon. It's salmon for you. S-A-M-M-O-N, salmon. Anyway we want to thank all these folks for being producers of show 1138 and don't forget we do have another show coming up next week or the next Sunday show will be a show with two interviews one the Scaramouche interview Mooch is...and also I've isolated Cliff Stoll. Now who is Cliff Stoll? People should look him up on the Wikipedia, he's a very famous astronomer or physicist He used to be on... I've known him for years and have known his as Tech TV or GDTV actually before that even was on this site I think at MSNBC where I also worked there And he used to give... I mentioned this on the show He used to do the editorials

2:15:02 He'd come on and do an editorial, his editorial always consisted of the same exact message. Get out from behind your computer! Go out and get some fresh air! He was very influential for you I presume? What? He was very influential to you. Well, apparently not but he's got other messages and I heard him on something recently moaning and groaning about the educational system how there shouldn't be computers in schools so i said since he lives in Oakland I know him I said hey Cliff can come over there with some gear we can record a new material from ya and he obliged it is very entertaining Oh good! And when did this happen? This past week

2:15:49 I did last week. Oh, cool! And he also makes Klein bottles as a hobby What kind of bottles? A Klein bottle is a bottle with one surface You have to look it up to see what they are but they only have one service It's like you know the thing you twist and what's it called...I can't remember People in this chatroom know where you can take a piece paper and turn it so that has one surface just keep going around and around Wow, now I know what it is. I got a now Klein bottle how do you spell client KLEIN? Klein bottle okay, we'll just see what it is yeah Mobius band oh Okay, it's a Mobius band bottle well that's interesting

2:16:36 I mean, is there any benefit to the Mobius band bottle? Or the Mobius band bottle? None. Yeah there's a benefit if you want some liquid in something and can't get it out If you make them and sell them there's a benefit No other observable benefits It's definitely curiosity that for sure And he makes bunch of different ones So when you pour it, it basically goes back into the bottle. Yeah, that's the smart stuff. Can't really pour it out. That's what we should... That's the problem, you can't get it out I've got it! There is another exit strategy not quite sure how we... Yeah Klein bottles manufactured

Bird Scooter Bludgeoning Attack in California

A tragic report from Southern California describes the death of Rosa Hernandez, who was brutally attacked by a stranger using a Bird electric scooter as a bludgeoning weapon. The hosts express shock at the use of a ride-share scooter as a deadly instrument.

bird scooter· rosa hernandez· california· assault· electric scooter

2:23:41 Finally, we found a good use or an interesting use for these e-scooters that are all over the place. This photo of Rosa Hernandez was taken Friday at a Mexican Mother's Day celebration in her neighborhood. Tonight the same friends and family she was celebrating with gathered outside her home then walked to where she was brutally attacked in shock over her tragic death. Yeah, my video Hernandez was dropping off a gift at her relatives home on East 64th and Abispo Monday at 12 30 in the afternoon when she was assaulted by a man. Police say she did not know neighbors say a bird scooter an electric rideshare scooter like these found in neighborhoods throughout Southern California was parked near where the attack happened

2:24:26 The suspect noticed it and used it to further assault Hernandez the aftermath captured from air 7 HD 2 graphic to show this right man is now a deadly weapon what? The bird bike she bled he'd the guy bludgeoned. The lady with us would an electric scooter He used the scooter to bludgeon her. Yes, he bludgeoned her with a scooter! Geez... What? I mean now there's just weapons- Where was this?! Uh, think California somewhere Yikes yeah, oh I wanted to mention during the donation segment. You know we we specifically said We don't want any gifts And we on our new blankets on our or water and on our I would like some blankets from Peru on our wedding wedding website We have a link so you can donate to the Ronald McDonald house and I didn't know this but I thought no agenda producers were the ones that came up with interesting numerology for donation amounts

CHAPTER 33 / 42 Discussion

Jewish Tradition of Giving in Multiples of Eighteen

The hosts discover that Jewish tradition involves giving charitable gifts in multiples of 18, symbolizing "Chai" or life. This explains several odd-numbered donations received for the Ronald McDonald House via the wedding website. They decide to add the "Lucky Jew Donation" or "Shape-shifting Donation" to the show's official terminology.

numerology· 18· chai· jewish tradition· lucky jew donation· ronald mcdonald house

2:25:31 It turns out we've been trounced. Yeah? Yes, did you know that Jewish tradition is to give money in multiples of 18 Okay Did you know that no yeah apparently this is this isn't like I said why do we get this odd number it's very sweet That someone donated to the house but why is it this number and it's because it was a multiple of eighteen Which is supposed to be... well it's good luck for sure. But I didn't know this! Well, I'm going to add it to our donation schedule. Lucky Jew Donation?

2:26:13 Look, shape-shifting. Shape shifting donation! Yes the shape shifting it could be either 18 or 36. When giving charity... 72? Shape shifting. When giving charity the number 18 has another significance it expresses our prayer that the merit of the charity given stand in our good stead that we'd be blessed with life and prosperity It is a Jewish custom to give monetary gifts in increments of 18, symbolically blessing the recipient of the gift with a good long life. I had no idea! Well... This is fantastic! Now on schedule. It's the shape-shifting donation. I never heard this either. Oh well. Usually I'm clued into all things Jewish culture by Horowitz. Yeah me too

CHAPTER 34 / 42 Discussion

Brexit Re-vote Strategies and Fraud Allegations

The discussion turns to the ongoing efforts in the UK Parliament to secure a "People's Vote" or a second referendum on Brexit. Opponents of the leave vote are highlighting alleged spending irregularities and "industrial scale fraud" by the Vote Leave campaign to invalidate the 2016 results. Prime Minister Theresa May maintains that the original vote must be respected to preserve trust in politics.

brexit· theresa may· jeremy corbyn· vote leave· electoral commission· scotland

2:27:03 Well, you should ask him. He's never mentioned this to me I'm gonna be very upset about this Why? Because Horowitz didn't clue you in Yes Hmm okay This is kind of a compilation like three clips Okay And just proving my point about Brexit Alright Where the latest thing they're going try and do to get a re-vote Is to try and make Maybe we shouldn't vote Let's restate, let's restate Brexit We've been predicting since day one that when they voted for it The way it's always done is, especially with the EU people is that they get a redo. I can't be possibly mean what you said do over and do over and to do over and they'll do it again third time if necessary. And we've seen this with the European Union with Ireland

2:27:53 France, the Netherlands. Yes we've all done it! Yeah it's just doesn't... what you didn't vote right? Let's vote again but it's been a little challenging for him to get to the vote against stage but we're getting there they can if they have not managed to do it even though we both predicted that they're gonna do at some way shape or form and I had been very adamant about it now the way to get to it now because they haven't seemed to Theresa Mays is not going to do it is that they're gonna find some reason to exaggerate, and they're doing this by the way. They are exaggerating some illegality that took place in the vote camp... The Vote Leave campaign. Wait a minute! Somebody spent some money there's too much. It was 100 thousand pounds that they're all flipping out about Yeah and their hookers something

2:28:41 Whatever they did, they did something wrong and now that invalidates everything. Oh yes! Wait but I thought it was Russian trolls who had done that? I thought it was Cambridge Analytica. Well the key part about the Russian troll thing is just that British people aren't as stupid as Americans are. No wait a minute... It was Trump! I'm sure he was So here's some examples of what is going on in Parliament with Theresa having to respond to these various, a lot of Scots of course. The trouble making Scots I do not understand why they just don't cut these guys loose but there are people from the Scottish parties and they're bitching and moaning about the illegality we gotta do it over this is my current example Questions that surround the elite campaigns

2:29:21 some of which amount to fraud on an industrial scale. Before she proceeds any further, why hasn't she set up a judge-led public inquiry with the power to summon evidence and witnesses to determine whether she is proceeding on the basis of a fraudulent campaign and a fraudulent result? Can I say to The Honourable Gentleman that when people came to vote in the 2016 referendum... The British? The British people knew what they were... Whoa, did someone just retch? Did a reptile resh out of... I wondered about that myself and it was never explained but somebody's in the background either dying or... It sounds like a... No idea but it's so horrible sound. It sounds like the reptile was you know like coming out of itself for something. ...say to the honorable gentleman I think when people came to vote in the 2016 referendum the British the British the British people...

2:30:19 That's great! It's free content and they missed it. I think when people came to vote in the 2016 referendum, the British... The British people knew what they were voting on. 17.4 million of them voted to leave the European Union and we should respect that vote. ...delay Brexit until she has informed the House as to the status of the police and MCA investigations after Vote Leave and leave.eu were found guilty of corrupt activities by the Electoral Commission? I say to the, very simply to the Honourable Lady as i think she has discussed the issue with delaying Brexit with me before can I just simply say to her we gave this

2:31:08 Parliament gave the people of the United Kingdom the decision to choose whether to leave the European Union or stay in. They chose to leave the European Union, I think it is for trust in politics that's important that the government delivers on just that people are losing trust in this government. The Transport Secretary, the International Trade Secretary and now the Brexit Secretary were all members of the Vote Leave campaign committee The Environment Secretary was the co-chair. They've been referred to the police by the Electoral Commission, having refused to cooperate with the Electoral Commissioner. Will the Prime Minister guarantee that her Cabinet Ministers will fully cooperate with the police investigation?

2:31:58 It's very important in this country that politicians don't interfere with police investigations and the police are allowed to do their investigation as well. But everyone is innocent, and innocent until proven guilty in a court of law." No! That's not true Yes we have proof that it's not true anymore Yeah Now um That was Corbyn at the end there, I recognize his voice easily enough. But which is ironic because Corbyn has always actually wanted to leave the EU but his party doesn't so he's kind of toeing in line

2:32:34 This is going to wind up with another election. There's just no doubt in my mind about it, this is the strategy they're gonna use. Another election or the people's vote? We call the people's vote... It's not even an election, it's a referendum. Just to remind people what Theresa May said was incorrect she said that people are presumed innocent until proven guilty That's just factually wrong People are innocent until alleged to be involved criminal activity. It's... they still got to get through the European elections now. And, forget that! Yes, it looks like UKIP is going to do very well in this or they'll leave Brexit group. Forget that people what's what's the status of the Eurovision Song Contest? Give me some deets whose I mean that's where we at. I just saw a bunch of big fat people singing and also some people in bird costumes

CHAPTER 35 / 42 Discussion

Eurovision Song Contest and American Version Launch

The Eurovision Song Contest is expanding with an official North American version, the "American Song Contest," slated for a 2021 launch. The hosts express skepticism, noting that the U.S. market is already saturated with singing competitions like "The Voice" and "American Idol." They commit to providing color commentary for the event regardless of its format.

eurovision· american song contest· ebu· hollywood reporter· 2021

2:33:40 And I don't even know what this is more like a joke of a competition. We were talking, well we talk about it every year but uh... i explained as we as i do every year that has nothing to do with Europe its the Eurovision Broadcast Union anyone can join and the news came out i think was just yesterday the long-rumored North American version of the annual European mega competitions officially being developed with an estimated launch in 2021 yeah we have a year A year. We have next year to ourselves Yeah, well it'll be all to ourself and you and I no matter where we are what we're doing we're going to...we commit to doing a color commentary over whatever live stream of the any song contest

2:34:28 Yeah, certainly the United States. What are they going to do by states and have the state's vote kind of the way or that why don't they just have The US join into the hero vision? That's what they're doing is a ladder They're not gonna be how much states they're gonna just that's not what it does That's not that's not what the that's with the Hollywood Reporter implied No I think they implied that it was there's going to be an American version hmm I think what they meant by that is, well... No. The announcement of the US version- It was hard for me to read as I was rolling my eyes it's very difficult to find what line you were reading. Okay? The long rumored North American version of the annual European mega competition event is officially being developed as the American song contest for the U.S market with an S- This is- should I tell you something? Fail!

2:35:23 That's a total fail. We already have the voice. Fail, yes! Fail! This is just- We have American Idol we have The Voice do you think you got talent? How many of these things do we need there are already too many I'm sick of them okay we get the point some lot of people can sing well and we can't fine Oh boy Alright, let's just clear a few things up. That's what people like to hear from us You've probably seen or heard reports of Yeah, but here's how it goes yeah But according to the Mueller report the Russians hacked two counties in Florida

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Florida Election Hacking and The Mueller Report

The Mueller Report confirmed that two Florida counties were "hacked" during the 2016 election, though Governor Ron DeSantis clarified that the intrusion was a phishing scam that did not change any results. The hosts criticize the use of the word "hack" to describe simple credential theft and emphasize that the FBI notified the counties before the election took place.

florida· mueller report· bill nelson· rick scott· ron desantis· phishing· fbi

2:36:05 And we need to pull this apart again so everyone understands what's going on. Here is another version of this empty report. It was a hot topic during Florida's US Senate race last year and it has been a hot topic nationally for at least two years Now there is confirmation that at least 2 Florida counties were hacked during the election of 2016 Senator Bill Nelson claimed it last summer during his campaign Thank you for pointing that out, its very important when you hear the word hacked You know, you probably immediately see cyber guys roaming around hacking through everything getting all the important data. But this was actually based on a phishing trick

2:36:44 You know someone clicked on a link and then gave their email and password, and yes someone got into the network. In the election of 2016 Senator Bill Nelson claimed it last summer during his campaign for re-election He said Florida had been hacked during the 2016 election cycle Governor Rick Scott said essentially prove it Well now there's proof revealed with a single sentence in the Mueller report. It says, And of course they stop there the rest of the paragraph includes all the information in the Mueller report

2:37:23 That will help you understand that they were nowhere near the actual voting systems. They accessed a publicly accessible database of voter registration, does not really constitute a huge security hack. Two Florida counties experienced intrusion into the supervisor election networks there was no manipulation or anything Governor Ron DeSantis met with the FBI in Tallahassee and announced that two counties were hacked However, he won't reveal which counties and he says the hack didn't change any results. And they say it right in the report allowed to name the counties I signed a disclosure agreement. I think they think that if we name the county then that may reveal disclosure agreement that he promised to say something much of disclosure agreement. That's a good catch not allowed to name the counties I signed a disclosure agreement. Hey bro

2:38:20 What did you really say? They think that if we name the counties, then that may reveal information to the perpetrators. That we know kind of what they did. The governor says both counties were notified about the hack prior to the 2016 election. Hold on a second stop this clip! What the hell is he talking about?! If you do what they're gonna know something now it's a news story What is he talking about? So what he's saying is, he signed a apparently disclosure document—although most people would sign a non-disclosure—to not mention the counties because if he gave that information then the perpetrators—read Russians!—would know that they had been successful and something. Successful at what?!

2:39:10 I think a new rule needs to be constituted. Just like the word glitch is unacceptable in professional news reporting, the term hack is also in my mind no longer acceptable you can say their network was penetrated you can say inappropriate access... give us a little bit of the story Not just two counties were hacked. That's meaningless! I mean, a time traveler from the past would be very confused. The governor says both counties were notified about the hack prior to the 2016 election and worked with the FBI to eliminate the threat. So nothing happened during the election? Nothing happened during the election! DeSantis also says that the FBI praised Florida for being ahead of other states in terms of cyber security. Duhh... No it's just a rehash

2:40:06 But I wanted to say it because the way it's brought is just, this was actually pretty complete. I like how they actually gave you the information at the end of the story that this was before the election took place. If you listen to Congress women like Escobar going on and on about how the election was not only hacked by the Russians but if their results were changed so Trump could win! Yeah that's a total lie! Why are they saying? It can't be alive there congress people saying it now oh Wow, okay. We shouldn't do the mocking thing we're not good at it. You're right dude I'm sorry I did that because you speak sarcastic and nobody gets it! No... I don't know how how I missed this hearing? This is the Senate Judiciary Committee

CHAPTER 37 / 42 Discussion

Inspector General Horowitz on Missing FBI Text Messages

Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified about the "challenging" process of retrieving missing text messages from Peter Strzok and Lisa Page's FBI-issued phones. After the FBI claimed a software flaw caused a data blackout, the IG's team used forensic tools and a third-party contractor to discover a hidden database on the devices that was still collecting data. The hosts suggest this reveals a "nastiness" in the Android operating system that Google may not want public.

michael horowitz· fbi· peter strzok· lisa page· android· database· forensic extraction

2:40:52 We know that there's other investigators, we're investigating the investigators. That's what we're doing and we have this new guy that Barr appointed and he is a US attorney and it seems like he is a serious guy. We know nothing about him But there was a conversation between the investigator general for the intelligence community, his name is Horowitz and he's been doing his own investigation of the investigators but specifically the FBI. And I don't know how I missed this but they asked for the page struck text messages all the text messages

2:41:43 And they got what they got. But it turns out the FBI, not only did they not deliver all of the messages there were I think three other attempts that the Inspector General made and retrieved more messages than the FBI even said was possible It's just a great exchange and i think it explains alot about the cover up thats going on Mr Horowitz lets talk about these text messages for a minute Was is easy for you to get them? No, well the initial batch was easy. They were with the FBI and we requested them The latter part of this over the last six months or so was challenging Challenging? When you say challenging tell me what you mean by that So when they were produced by the FBI it turned out there was a period during which about four to six months I don't remember exact time where there were no text messages produced to us

2:42:38 It turned out there was a flaw in their collection software or failure in their collection software. We then went out and seized and obtained their two phones, voluntarily I shouldn't say seized, obtained their phones from the FBI. These are now FBI devices we're talking about. And our cyber forensic team actually undertook a series of steps to seek to exploit, to extract the missing text messages from the phones. We first used our own tools to do that. That was step one We then went to a contractor that we use, a vendor that we use to see whether there were additional tools. Israel? No thanks! They provided us with some additional tools so we did a second extraction and gained more text messages. We then went to the Department of Defense and asked them if they had additional tools but those first two steps didn't used. They said they didn't give us those tools and we use that extracted more

2:43:38 We then went to the FBI and said, okay here are the steps we've taken. Did we miss anything? Would you do anything differently? They said they wouldn't. We then did a quality control check as your supposed to do again following rules our forensic examiners and they discovered in that last search which occurred last month in May that the phone had a database on it, that was actually also doing a collection of text messages. Now my ears perked up when I heard this like there's a database? That collects text messages inside the phone We know that these were... uh..I believe these were android we don't know i guess I thought It was galaxy I thought they were android devices And then he clarifies it with this next bit

2:44:27 They extracted those messages from the phone and found the second part of the August 8th text, no-no we'll stop it. That was found in early May because of that fourth effort to extract information from the phones It turned out that the FBI wasn't aware that database on there, which was supposed to be an operating function... ...was actually collecting data. See I think this is a part of some nastiness that Google already does and this was maybe not supposed to come out in public forum? That there's some operating system function that collects your text messages in a special little database

2:45:13 Well, this is distressing to people who use these phones a lot and maybe want to keep something as secret. that database on there, which was supposed to be an operating function was actually collecting data. They weren't aware of that and didn't give it to you but had they gone through the same steps you had gone through they might have found it? Correct Does that cause you to have any lack of confidence about whether or not you have all the evidence you need all the evidence you've requested? Clearly as a result of that effort we're going issue a separate report about technological efforts we undertook there, and I'll be careful on how I describe them because I'm also a lawyer not a cyber expert.

2:45:55 The concern is we now believe that not only are we unsure whether we have 100% collection in the period for which there was this blackout, four to six months. But it's now clear to us that even when the software at the FBI was collecting text messages because the August 8th period was within the collection period, we had the incoming page-to-stroke texts. We didn't have It's now clear to us that even outside this blackout period, we're not convinced that the FBI was collecting for obvious reasons 100% of the text. I think the FBI was covering up so it sounds like to me what it sounds like four different attempts and they got more than they then a new phase. They got more stuff. Yeah

CHAPTER 38 / 42 Discussion

Joe DiGenova on John Brennan and Prison Prospects

Legal analyst Joe DiGenova claims that the appointment of U.S. Attorney John Durham signals a "laser focus" on a conspiracy led by former CIA Director John Brennan. DiGenova predicts that high-level officials, including Brennan, James Comey, and James Clapper, will eventually face prison time for their roles in the Russia investigation.

joe digenova· john brennan· james comey· james clapper· john durham· laura ingraham

2:46:42 Then I have stuff in there. I have our one Joe DeGenova clip for every episode we got to have apparently Well, he's like the leader he's like the leader of they're all going down and it's fun to follow I mean He does have an actual record you know was a US attorney. He's not a schlub But, you know it's just more entertaining now. And so I still want to...I think the fall guys for anything that comes out will still be struck and paged They seem like the obvious targets they're popular as in everyone knows about them knows their names or love birds There are so many things that are perfect to take them down but Gigeno stays on this trip That is gonna be Brennan

2:47:26 And here he is short. James Comey, Brennan and Clapper have said to themselves which one of us is going to pay the bar bill? The bar bill is coming due And Durham's appointment means that the already occurred meetings between the Attorney General, the CIA Director and the Director of National Intelligence have now focused on a laser. That the core of this conspiracy began with John Brennan and ends with John Brennan in London and DC and the Democratic National Committee This is very serious business and for the first time I now believe

2:48:07 that some of these guys are gonna go to prison. Wow! Wow! Did you hear... What an optimist? Did you hear Ingraham at the end there? Yeah, let me get it. Some of these guys are going to go to prison. Wow! Wow! Wow! Sounds like Marge Simpson. Homer! I have a couple of short clips. Yeah, real short because we got to go man we're over time. We're long. Okay this is not fair! We get low donations and people get more show. Make them suffer okay

CHAPTER 39 / 42 Discussion

Alabama Abortion Law and Gender-Neutral Language

Alabama passed a restrictive abortion law that could subject doctors to 99 years in prison, a move intended to challenge Roe v. Wade in the Supreme Court. The hosts highlight the use of gender-neutral language in media reports, such as Amy Goodman referring to a "pregnant person" instead of a woman. They also discuss a failed amendment in Alabama that would have criminalized vasectomies.

alabama· abortion law· amy goodman· gender-neutral· supreme court· roe v. wade

2:48:53 So we'll go with this. Now I got this, there's a big fuss in the liberal community about Alabama and their abortion law that they just passed in the period of the governor. A woman signed it into law and it means if you get an abortion in Alabama your subject to 99 years in prison. Okay stop! Stop stop can I just give some... Do you have a background clip or can I just give the actual? No I don't want it back but you can give me the background if you want because I've read the bill and I want to thank a number of NOA Agenda producers of the, who identify as female. Who have given me very detailed information as to why there are so many unintended pregnancies which is the entire initial reason for an abortion industry

2:49:39 The bill, and this is happening in at least half of the 50 United States. And I think it's some chicken shit think tank who's behind it like a Alec or something like that It's like we're gonna get this to the Supreme Court We're gonna challenge Roe v Wade so we come up with these crazy bills which say the minute you Basically find out you're pregnant which you would find out for sure when You have a heartbeat and the minute you do an audiogram or sonogram, there's a heart beat detected after that point abortion is no longer legal and it was signed into law, and the doctors are the ones that could be thrown in jail. It specifically states that the woman can never be prosecuted for doing this but the doctors... Well that's good! I said that's nice well that's nice

2:50:32 There was one other thing, well they do have exceptions but it this is only about because you know of course it's a bullcrap. It's contested it's immediately going to the courts which means abortion will remain status quo and it's just some I don't know who it is and they're trying to get into the Supreme Court. I agree with you but that really got me through these clips actually. After that premise you can imagine people are getting bent out of shape And so here's a mid, this is a mid report. This is the middle of Goodman's report and this is a little peculiarity that I caught and I wanted to play. Uh...I don't know what clip I'm- May Goodman Mid Report on Alabama Abortion Law Peculiarities The law does not make exceptions for rape or incest The only exception lawmakers voted for Is cases in which the pregnant person's health is at serious risk Now what do you think? I saw it there that was weird Can I listen to it again

2:51:32 Sure. The law does not make exceptions for rape or incest, the only exception lawmakers voted for is cases in which the pregnant person's health is at serious risk Yes! The pregnant person's health Exactly Yes Only if you identify as female So why wasn't it a pregnant woman? Or the pregnant girl? Or the pregnant woman or girl You know the answer is political correctness If your guy and their sex... Nobody else is going to get pregnant except a woman so why is it person This is virtue signaling language. Yeah, it is. It is. This is the same thing where I told this old story and can tell it again A friend of mine who worked at Boeing was writing for a PC World magazine And he wrote... He said then the representative of the company said blah blah blah The female copy editor calls him and says you can't use this language! This is sexist

2:52:32 She said, you should use the word spokesperson. And he says the word representative's not sexist? It's got nothing to do with it, it's not sexist is just a good general term, representative same thing as spokespersons yet. No you don't understand, spokesperson makes it clear that you know so that was an early example from the 1980s of virtue signaling using language and I was offended by it personally. I find it offensive to call a woman in general, a pregnant woman, a person when she's a woman. If she's a woman, she's a woman. She's not a person." Okay onward right after that report, she threw this little dig thing in there which I thought was kind of funny and then she just like wrote it off because men, men, men are bad? Play this clip! This is the following clip that came right after this vasectomy law

2:53:30 Democratic state Senator Vivian Figueres, one of four women serving in the chamber introduced an amendment that would criminalize vasectomies arguing there are no laws regulating men's bodies. It was defeated I'm a person A person with a penis She does use the word men instead of persons Of course Yeah i think it was something funny about Alyssa Milano she had tweeted about the sex strike It's like, uh... I don't know. But anyway some people got all bent out of shape because you know hey a woman can have a penis too. At least! Yeah

2:54:15 If you tried to write this back in the day when Orwell was writing and Huxley, and you took it to a publisher. You'd be like that's too crazy man! Too nuts I mean the Huxley guys in there... The 1984 book that hits the mark but what you're saying is that could never happen It's just crazy. It won't go down like that But yet here we are And so again as a reiterate you know, that this is clearly some meant to get something to the Supreme Court. I think it's poorly thought out. I personally think it's very offensive. I'm pro-life but choice is incredibly important for women and pro life in the respect that if we

History of Vasectomies and Pro-Life Perspectives

A discussion on reproductive rights leads to the history of vasectomies, which reportedly began in the 1800s as an alternative to the castration of violent prisoners. One host clarifies their "pro-life" stance while acknowledging the necessity of choice for women and expressing a controversial openness to televised capital punishment for transparency.

vasectomy· castration· pro-life· capital punishment· history

2:55:02 Yeah, we do kill people. You know what gets me? It should be discussed mostly by women Why are men always talking about it? Yeah well because I don't know because men are making rules I don't know! Look i'm pro-life but i'm all for killing people as long as we do it on TV you know capital punishment everything But honestly and I appreciated that uh... We had so many producers who identify as women Email me about how easy it is to get pregnant by accident and cost. And there's a lot of validity to that, and you know I... You and I don't talk about this also the only recourse we have is vasectomy the only way that we can participate in the process. And then you look like an old lesbian after a few years!

2:55:52 And I should mention that vasectomies began, if you look into the history of vasectomies they began as an alternative to castration. In fact what happened was the guy... They used to give castrations to violent prisoners back in the 1800s and it turned out a lot of these guys were violent and they had their balls cut off and they went back and killed the doctor. They were pissed off! So some guy and his name is, I don't have it at the top of my head because they didn't intend on talking about it. But some guy decided that he could do a virtual castration and it became the vasectomy and the guy still has this balls and he's not going to come back and shoot you

2:56:35 And so you got, so that was that. And that's where vasectomies began. So it's one of the reasons I did, I somewhat offended by a vasectomy is because its voluntary castration doesn't seem like something he'd want to do right? But as a typical old white dude, you've now taken the conversation to yourself and your penis instead of where the conversation belongs. Well yeah, well at least why I had to get it off my chest. Yes. So to speak So I just want to make sure i'm clear. I am pro-life, I don't want any children killed, I wish there was no abortions but and so in that regard I'm totally pro life but a woman has to have the ability to remove something she doesn't want that was not intended it's insane for these people to come up with these asshole laws! It pisses me off

2:57:25 Well apparently it does and I love your virtue signaling. I'm sure you're... I'm not virtue signaling because i also said I'm pro-killing people Which is double virtue signaling! But, but..I'm straddling You're signalling to both sides of the argument It has to be televised that was put on television and then people We'll understand what we're really talking about. Death row, abortion clinics all of it war show it show it we only see the fake versions of it I think I can push these off till next Thursday well we need to end on a happier note than this oh okay well just one other hand how happy this notice is 59 seconds because I got as a piece information in here that another thing that irked me

China Trade War and Tariffs on Consumer Goods

The U.S.-China trade war escalates with retaliatory tariffs that media outlets claim will significantly increase the cost of consumer goods like luggage, electronics, and toiletries. NBC reports suggest the average American family could pay an extra $767 per year. The hosts mock the specific focus on "luggage" and "shampoo," questioning the validity of these economic warnings.

2:58:11 Let's play the trade war in Trade War. Our Hallie Jackson was in the Oval Office today to get the president's reaction to the escalating trade war Today, the moment that markets been dreading China's clap back at the US as it slaps retaliatory tariffs on products made in the U.S Wait a minute wait a minute Is this NBC? CNBC what is this? This is NBC She's using the term clap back I don't know what that even means. Clapback is what a Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez does on Twitter So when you have a snappy retort and you slap someone down, that's called the clapback. I did not know this! Well bet! Now it's on the nightly news with Lester Holt. That's right The market has been dreading China's clap back at the US as it slaps retaliatory tariffs on products made in the U.S., starting 18 days from now Can you guarantee a trade deal with China by June 1st?

2:59:09 We're in a great position right now. No matter what we do, yeah I think China wants to have it But talks have stalled as the president bets he can get Beijing to blink first We've been taken advantage of on all of our trade deals practically this is a very positive step. The tit-for-tat could cost many Americans more for things like luggage, electronics and toiletries it's already frustrating farmers trying to sell their crops to China like the Hartmans Alexis hopes to be the sixth generation to take over her family's Illinois farm which will only survive if prices stop dropping and China starts buying well now that's interesting

2:59:50 Wait a minute, she says it's gonna this is affecting the American public because of the price of luggage? Oh no No NBC because you got this clip from NBC. I got a slip from NBC which took this even beyond luggage Here at checkout counter you'll feel the bite even on your daily bread You can't escape the tariffs anything red How does that make you feel? We'll have to sacrifice a little bit to be better in the end. For or against them, businesses nationwide seeking to preserve the bottom line without scaring away clientele We've heard increases as high as 15 maybe 20 percent coming soon These tariffs could soon hit your pocketbooks on a wide variety of items In fact each American family can expect to pay an extra $767 dollars a year on items used every single day from appliances like air conditioners vacuums and stoves

3:00:45 to beds, pillows even baby cribs. Clothing and accessories will also cost more along with toiletries including shampoo, toilet paper and makeup. So those hunting for a new AC... Your mom was right! Your mom was right, the Chinese and the toilet paper. Even baby cr- Clothing and accessories will also cost more along with toiletries including shampoo, toilet paper and makeup So those hunting for a new AC this summer? My advice now is come in soon I don't necessarily think you can stock up on things like shampoo for months and months but we can do it Shampoo's coming from China!

3:01:25 What shampoo are you using that comes from China? Why would you use it and what is the big deal about paying more for luggage on my bike? When's the last time you bought luggage this is bullcrap It's NBC. Oh, he's gonna pay more for luggage! And they always say there was a luggage what is the deal with luggage I don't know if People buying at all God let's get in line and stand in line for luggage at the Apple Store I like it just coming out. Give me a break!

3:02:04 I don't necessarily think you can stock up on things like shampoo for months and months, but what you can do is be very strategic about large items that you're buying. There actually could be a huge price differential between buying something that was maybe made in Korea versus China." And while drugs and medical devices are exempt from tariffs the American Hospital Association says hospital expenses could spike as much as 160 million dollars a year which could ultimately get passed down to patients. And with no progress in sight, the higher price tags may feel like a bitter pill to swallow." That was good! It's unbelievable... and with that we come to the end of episode 1138 of The No Agenda Show it's a podcast that we make together here

Buddha judges open the game if Carger beat him to that punch. Kluba Charlotte's fresh green salad, she ate one with a comb for lunch! They now have more characters in the Democratic Party than Game of Thrones but Joe Biden is a frontrunner But just because it's the 2020 race doesn't mean there should be 2020 Democrats running Warren is a Harvard grad who claims she was a minority. Harris supports reparations but her grandma was pro-slavery. Gillibrand played beer pong doing it with water instead Well, this actually Republican what got into that dude's head? So just from the standpoint of being a casting director which is what we are We're gonna have to watch some douchebag play the role of leader of

Bolton is an ex-Marine did four tours over in Iraq. Messam was a football player... ...He was quite a sensation. Castro advocates lesser penalties on illegal immigration. Reparations? The Green New Deal? Gun confiscation?! That's pure leftism!! Let me get this straight one of the top Democratic candidates Is that 40 year old unemployed guy living out of a van?? Hickenlooper does wacky things like take his mom to see Deep Throat. Sanders is a socialist who would let folks in prison vote. Bennett says he's a fiscal hawk, but he was in the Gang of Eight! Gabbard opposes global wars I think that is really great This is the best we can do folks this is what we have to offer it's what our system produces garbage and

3:09:43 Garbage out. Swalwell wants more gun control and he supports the Green New Deal. Gravel has a better point, the Patriot Act should be repealed! William Sinrank's new age books and she is a woman's advocate Ryan worries about socialism says it is better to be moderate If you needed a leader though none of them are qualified because they're all fucking retarded Name a Democratic candidate besides Joe Biden I'm sorry but I am not really good with that Delaney worries about global warming, wants a federal carbon tax.
