About this episode

The White House issued a sweeping executive order targeting Huawei and the Chinese telecommunications supply chain, effectively blacklisting the firm from American technology. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross now holds the authority to block transactions involving foreign adversaries, while the Department of Homeland Security simultaneously warned that DJI drones may be transmitting sensitive flight data back to China. These maneuvers signal a shift toward an Anything But China manufacturing strategy as CFO Meng Wanzhou remains under house arrest in Vancouver.

In Europe, Duncan Laurence secured a Eurovision victory for the Netherlands with the song Arcade, while Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party surged in the polls ahead of the European Commission Spitzenkandidat selection. Domestically, attorney Michael Avenatti faces federal indictments for allegedly defrauding Stormy Daniels, and Representative Adam Schiff is pressuring Google and Facebook to censor vaccine misinformation. Meanwhile, a leaked OPCW document suggests the 2018 Douma chemical attack in Syria may have been staged, contradicting previous reports from the organization and mainstream media outlets.

Adam Curry details his Austin wedding to Tina Mudford, featuring a processional to Bill Withers and a late-arrival anecdote involving John C. Dvorak and a Toyota 4Runner. The ceremony proceeded with a last-minute officiant found online after Gene Socrates faced a family emergency. Between critiques of dry wedding salads and the passing of internet celebrity Grumpy Cat, the hosts celebrate a new wave of knights including Sir Jobin and Sir Hocus Locus.

CHAPTER 01 / 39 Discussion

California Fire Season and Controlled Burn Policies

The discussion opens with observations on the upcoming California fire season, noting that heavy rains have led to significant weed growth. Comparisons are made between Texas, where controlled burns are common, and California, where such practices have historically faced more resistance. A historical diary from the 1849 Gold Rush is cited, describing the region as a land of fire, flood, and earthquakes.

00:00 Hey, hi. I'm gonna be officiating the wedding. And happy and broadcasting live from the frontier of Austin, Texas. Capital of drone star state in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from Northern Silicon Valley where it's been so wet there's gonna be a fire season. I'm John C Devore. It's crackpot and buzzkill! In The Morning Now do we even want to ask how that works?

00:37 Because it sounds like a California. Lots of water, lots of weeds growing taller and taller. Oh right! And then there's a big fire and everyone goes oh my god what happened how did this fire occur? Got it got it. When I was a kid we used to they used to do controlled burns all over the state yeah they do them in Texas Yeah, they do them everywhere but just for some reason around here. Everywhere but California! Really? California was always on fire. What's the point?! Well remember we have that we have the diary from the guy who went there like you know 1850 or right around it round the 49 gold rush and described it as hell of fire and flood and earthquakes... I guess that hasn't really changed much

01:20 No, we got Hollywood helped it was they were trying to change you when they did controlled burns Well now I remember why we have two shows a week We can't weekend this is too much going on in the world for just one show There's a lot. I don't know about you, but... I think we should do three shows. I got China news, vaccines, Green New Deal Eurovision contest EU elections Australian elections it's... Let's start off with the big news then Oh what's that?

Eurovision Song Contest 2019 and Duncan Laurence Victory

The Netherlands won the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest held in Israel with the song "Arcade" by Duncan Laurence. Madonna performed during the live broadcast, though her vocals were criticized for being off-key before being corrected for her YouTube channel. There is speculation regarding the hosting duties for the following year's contest in the Netherlands.

eurovision· netherlands· duncan laurence· israel· madonna

01:58 Eurovision it was the it was your Hollanders who won. So this was on Saturday that the big Eurovision Song Contest This was the evening before my wedding day, so we there was no way although We were in the same place technically we could have done a snarky stream Watching the show and then just commenting on it But that will have to wait for next year but that may not happen because The Netherlands won Which I don't know if that was a fold the competition because of the Netherlands. Well, no No, no this something else is happening here So you have to understand this is a Eurovision broadcasting project It's about the broadcasters as much as it's about the song itself It's actually not even supposed to be about the artist but about the songwriter and composer and the producer That's kind of been forgotten now. It's just a huge show element in fact Madonna performed live on the show and

02:51 Which was so off-key during the live show, but then magically fixed on her own YouTube channel. It was fantastic I don't know how that worked a little auto tune here and there maybe she even went into the studio the middle of the night Oh yeah it was a huge difference to do an AB comparison People it's all over than all over YouTube the ABS like oh actually should have gotten that I apologize. That's a via hope to say a B No you said a be I heard AB. So, you know the way it works is the winner... The contest is hosted in the country of the winner in this next year and this year was an Israel and this guy Duncan won... Duncan... Donuts! No, Duncan. In fact they do say Dunkin' in Holland like they say Dunkin' Donut's. Dunkin' Donuts

03:46 No, that's the word I said with Duncan Downax and Tina & Adam! So it's a...Duncan Lawrence Arcade which i thought was a pretty boring song but this guy is interesting because he won The Voice in the Netherlands so we literally came from nothing and then went straight to the top of the charts. But now here's what happens because it's a Eurovision broadcast union gig There's always a big deal about who is going to host the show. And within an hour, or maybe it was the next morning for me it was an hour of the winner

04:29 Being declared people already calling for me to be one of the hosts of next year's show Can you believe it they got wind of our scheme like no, we can't have him snarking let's pay him Let's pay him together do an official presentation and I'm thinking no. No, no, no. I'll host your show with my co-host John C Dvorak Yeah I'll do the Dutch translations where necessary could you imagine? Yeah, I could actually. We'd actually do a bang up job but you get the gig if you can get it. Well its... The way this came and I think its confluence of things. I was little bit in the news in Holland because of the wedding Madonna was on the show. Im famous in the Netherlands for saying Madonna where everyone was pronouncing it MADONNA so in the 80's when I was on television people were like oh my god! He is famous for pronouncing something right To this day people still come up to me and go hey Curry

CHAPTER 03 / 39 Discussion

Adam Curry and Tina Mudford Wedding Reception Anecdotes

Adam Curry recounts his wedding to Tina Mudford in Austin, Texas, describing it as a major event. John C. Dvorak shares an anecdote about arriving late to a pre-wedding gathering in a Toyota 4Runner and immediately checking the score of a Golden State Warriors game. The hosts discuss the punctuality and social dynamics of the wedding weekend.

adam curry· tina mudford· wedding· austin· golden state warriors

05:28 Madonna! Jeez. And so, you know I think the confluence of those things kind of like oh yeah let's get that guy well anyway i accept already in choose me it'll be so funny uh... So thanks for coming to the wedding yes we should talk about the wedding you had a big event is the wedding of the decade Yes It was bigger than Lady Di's wedding I understand What shocked me is that So here's the, I'm just a little insider for the people out there so they know what kind of a jerk I am.

06:06 Wait, do you have 10 minutes of the show so I can continue? So I showed up at their little pre-event late because I had the time mixed up. Let me just say how this felt... Hold on hold on from the inside this was supposed to be from 4 to 6 only for people coming from out of state out of town out of country yeah and four to six because you know and it was still like 35 people so it's a lot of people to have in your house And everyone's like, hey is Dvorak coming? Horowitz was there with his wife and David Foley was there. His family and lots of people who listened said I don't know man I'm texting Mimi she's like no I'm in Phoenix! Okay do you know where John is now? No I don't know where he is...and then people are starting to leave and yeah I'm waving at him and all of a sudden I'm out with Horowitz with his wife Jill

06:59 And it's 730, which is you know I expected it to go long and just careening down the hill comes John C. Dvorak in his white rav4 with license plate LGY. It was 4Runner? Oh! With license plate LGY skrt-skrt! They come to oh everybody here I am John C. Dvorak So yes, fashionably late. But and Jill Horowitz she apparently turned around went back in and went to Tina and went you're never going to guess I guess we're staying Dvorak just showed up she was ready to go home yeah so because of that moment uh you began to assume that i was just gonna be late when i'm not a very punctual as a person

07:52 So the wedding is supposed to start at 6 and I said, what time are you gonna be there? No. You've got to be there by 530 and then... Oh the next day on Sunday you mean? Yeah on Sunday. Hold on! I wasn't done with Saturday. You come in say hi to everybody go mm-hmm yeah and then within 15 minutes hey do you get ESPN on that TV over there I gotta see how the Golden State Warriors are doing You sit down and just start watching TV. I was just watching, looking at the score! I wasn't sitting down watching TV. Curiously because my timing was off and the game had just begun so it's 0-0 when it began. They say you're happy now to work? 0-0 what a game! It's like this is soccer game. Yeah okay. So that all made sense to you because it sounded like a soccer score Yes Now The next day Sunday... So they give me this thing about getting there right they said well yeah

Wedding Ceremony Details and Officiant Logistics

The wedding ceremony began promptly at 6:00 PM with a processional to "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers. The original officiant, Gene Socrates, had to cancel due to a family emergency in Washington State, leading the couple to hire Jason Farmer through an online service. The segment concludes with the couple's recessional to AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long."

08:55 And I'm thinking maybe i should show up, I could go to the thing just starts at 6. It'll be a six fifteen beginnings no this thing is starting at six the ceremony starts at six yeah made a big stink about it and what time did we start Well, that's what stunned me. Six! Because I was thinking well you know if this doesn't start at six exactly because he made such a big stinker out of it You're walking out and i'm done No he is going to hear about it forever Here's what you forget my wife runs big

09:32 shows like the Ronald McDonald House Bandana Ball. This thing was scripted, she had people from the house working with her who know it. There was a whole run of show spreadsheet! Well it started at 6 with the two some coming in to some song and jumping around... Lovely Day by Bill Withers yeah And then they went up did the ceremony there's a bunch of poems that were read everyone's tears One beautiful reading by Tina's daughter Ellen Ellen read this poem and then they do the vows of this gate got this kind of a diminutive Guy doing the service. Well, let's stop who is cleaning his nails Stop sir gene sir gene The Baron de Marriott sheriff of Texas was supposed to do the officiation And he had his script and we'd met about it and He was gonna wear his long dress and with the beard it was gonna be perfect

10:32 And Wednesday night he got word that his parents had been in a car accident up in Washington State. Yeah, and it was pretty bad and his dad was in ICU I said dude don't even think about to get on the plane now which he did! And I haven't gotten an update as far as I know is that if mom's okay his dad is okay but he had memory issues were still in the ICU last I heard from him so lots of karma go out to Gene and his family So we were presented with an issue Now, getting someone to officiate a wedding is as simple... in fact Elise, Tina's other daughter. Oh I can say my stepdaughter She got ordained online and said mom don't worry about it see even i could do it

11:12 And then I'm like, how about Dvorak? And she's like oh god no. No not Dvorak. Not Dvorak! But you know what I was thinking it might not be a bad thing for the show if we did these weddings for five or ten thousand dollars apart. Well now that i think is a good idea. We can do this...we can go marry people and do appearances how much five or ten I was thinking five or ten for a wedding, but it's not just for anybody. Somebody who has got $5,000 or 10,000 because it is excess money for them." Let me tell you how it worked for us. So I'm like, oh, I've go to find somebody thinking who could do it and we wanted our guests just to be guests so I start searching around, I Bing it and yes sure shit!

11:59 You can get was it sweet and short ceremonies calm you can choose your officiant It's like a is like a tinder for people who can do weddings And all the girls go yeah that guy and that was Jason Jason farmer Girls 250 bucks That's a good deal.

CHAPTER 05 / 39 Discussion

Wedding Catering Post-Mortem and Sound Volume Issues

The hosts critique the wedding reception's food service, specifically noting dry salads and slow plate delivery. John C. Dvorak expresses frustration over the lack of salad dressing and the distance between the kitchen and the dining area. Additionally, they discuss the high volume of the DJ's music, which Adam Curry struggled to gauge due to his hearing aids.

catering· service errors· salad dressing· hearing aids· decibels

13:18 I'm not gonna say it didn't like the meal, wasn't that hungry. But there was one thing that was just a little much. The salad came out and had no salad dressing. Well that's wrong. No vinegar, no oil... Well well that's wrong! I had salad dressing then they messed you up We had nothing at all. Is there dressing on this thing? We're gonna make them... And I said, not that I can tell if they should have dressed it with water Now believe me we're not serving dry salad Well, you did. Well okay thanks for telling me because we're gonna make an issue out of that You should Yeah I didn't know that And so then the girl gets all huffy and she brings a little bitty bowl of salad dressing on this side It's just like a little bitty thumbnail So he had to try to split that amongst us three of us I apologize I'm sorry about that Apparently Jill didn't care No

14:11 Hey, at least you didn't know if the whole table didn't get salad dressing or not. I had salad dressing but i know that some people their food arrived and wasn't really warm there's some other minor issues well Mimi used to work in that business kind of and she talked about them as the errors in service they were it was and we all concluded later in the evening uh that upon review reviewing the day Yeah, reviewing the typical post-mortem of the day. We went over it with the Horowitz's and concluded that this place really didn't wasn't equipped to serve these sorts of events and I felt that they sold somebody a bill of goods that they couldn't do it because the giveaway according to Mimi was They kept going way back into the kitchen in each person bringing back two plates. Yeah. No, I saw that too. Running back to the kitchen bringing back two plates. The kitchen is way too far removed

15:06 Yeah, I saw that too. Where is the big cart you bring out? You know this set up cart you got with a thousand dishes on it they roll the big card out into the middle of thing and then to service people go nuts and they get everything served no no they didn't do that there were the end why and they could only carry two dishes they weren't like these professionals that could carry six dishes you know the way some of them or even a tray with four five dishes didn't do that either It was just carrying dishes one by one and it took forever to serve. And that's the only bitch I had." Okay, well that's good feedback! The salad really pisses me off though... That really angers me. Yeah well- That's lame. ...it was a bit baffling. Now as i was disappointed but it's okay you and Mimi don't dance? Well I dance but Mimi doesn't dance so why would she dance if she's not dancing?!

15:58 Didn't see you dancing. I'm just sad, I'll say it again. I'm not gonna dance if she's not dancing why not Because its rude I think oh It's like leaving somebody yeah, you stay there. I've got and have some fun as bullcrap I'm not doing that so we and they never had a fight in that music guy. I love the DJ FH you are I look Yeah He did have it a little loud I agree and of course he's deaf But I thought the DJ was great. It's very different... The guy had woofers under his thing that were giving so much bass, bass wash it was blowing the curtains! He was just trying to cater to the audience mainly me who's deaf yeah well actually here's what i noticed here's the complicated part

16:43 I have no reference anymore with the hearing aids. So when...I was glad that my sister said to you and then you told me, and then of course I said hey man my sister complains a lot which you went back and told her! Of course! You dick My sister complains about stuff, but she was right. You were right But I have no reference because even when it was turned down I kept saying to people is this loud to me? It's cuz you know the the compression in my hearing aids will bring the music up and does all kinds of weird things and it was very difficult for me to Reference if that is too loud. I think the best line of the night was you saying

17:20 I said, the music it says it got to be 140 decibels in there. Which is illegal, I think in most communities and uh... It was boom-boom. And what bothered me the fidelity was mediocre so you said oh okay well I just turned my hearing aids off it sounds great Yeah, it was okay. Anyway it was a great time, was great to have all the family there we had a fantastic time I'm really happy you came when Mimi came and happy everybody came so... And now I'm married! Go figure. How about that? Now as The Keeper is part of The Enterprise We've not had our honeymoon She's gonna start butting in now you watch No no no I think your modulation was off on that last show

Game of Thrones Series Finale and Fan Reactions

The series finale of Game of Thrones is analyzed following reactions from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren, who criticized the ending's portrayal of female characters. The hosts discuss the "rush" fans get from the show's unpredictable writing, comparing it to political derangement. Podcasting pioneer Dave Winer's transition from apolitical to political is also noted.

game of thrones· hbo· elizabeth warren· alexandria ocasio-cortez· dave winer

21:13 Well, Tina looks like the perfect mix between X number one and x number two. Fuck people. Douchebags. Idiots Anyway hey there was something else There was big big news that took place and that was the and a lot in fact Mark Hall sir mark Sir Mark Hall who also attended our nuptials It was very honest and he had, he actually although he lives in the Austin area. He was staying at the hotel we had the reception. And I said Adam I'm going upstairs. I'm going to watch the final game of Game Of Thrones episode, and will be back down." He was the only person that was honest about it! I saw people leaving, you know? People thinking, oh, I gotta get out soon... After everything was done there's clean up and people like don't tell me what happened! Don't spoil it for me!"

22:10 And I give me crap about just checking a score. No, no, no Well, so I have two clips that relate to this the first is Just something interesting between AOC and Elizabeth Warren for some reason they've teamed up on I don't not sure what issues But they had their little review of The Game of Thrones and as you can imagine none if it was good I did I'm disappointed about it. I was just really, meh... I feel like we were getting so close to having this ending with just women running the world and then the last two episodes is like oh they're too emotional yeah exactly can't do that at the end it's like ah this is insane! So I was even willing at the end to make a quick allegiance shift when Danny went nuts right right? So I was over to Sansa

23:05 Stay with it. Totally, totally. Queen of the North, thank you very much. Right! She walks away saying and I'll still be Queen of the North. I know... Come on Sons, let's go for the big ones! I was disappointed we need to get some feminist analysis up in HBO. They do, they do. Alright so there it is. Okay clip of the day right off the bat so we can get that over with. Well hold on a sec. Thank you. I mean, give me a break! What is... to expose yourself as some sort of fanboy junkie and go on and on about women taking over the world and all this other stuff? How is this a politically good idea?! Well, I don't think it is but maybe a lot of people agree. Well that brings me to my second clip in this

24:02 I have not followed Game of Thrones. I tried watching the first episode and a half, didn't really like it. I did sit and watch as Elise watched the final one Monday. Let me tell you my side so we can even this up I have never seen a complete episode of Game of Thrones. I can't watch it, I think it's unwatchable. Uh...I like the scene- I have seen the scenes where the dragon comes in and burns people to the- you know just burns them to toast? Yeah! I think that's kind of cool and I like what's her name, the actress who plays the evil blonde with the dragon? Yeah! I think she is fun to watch act but I've never seen a whole episode. I never saw anything from this season including a clip so

24:45 So I don't care about this story. It's a cornball, just corn ball period." Well yes you're right and what is interesting to me is why do I not like it? Why does my partner in crime John C. Dvorak not like it? Why does my wife not like it? Why doesn't it appeal to us? What is that appeals so much that they are just, you know it's now at the point where their entire petitions I think on moveon.org to rewrite and reshoot the ending because they did it wrong or something no one petitions for anything of importance like what the Chinese are doing or infrastructure anyway another person who is a big fan is my co-inventor of podcasting Dave Weiner

25:41 And he did a short little podcast which I think explained entirely what kind of people like this and why. And it's a minute 30 and it's just him listen. Yes the ground that Game of Thrones has broken other than just incredible attention to detail in the production and a sense of grandiosity That is like Nothing ever done before as far as I'm concerned by the way you can tell Who was in charge of the technology and who was in charge of the sound when? podcasting was created the thing about Game of Thrones is that it just fucks with you and They've been doing that ever since season one. You know you go along at all through season one You think you know the main character is Ned Stark, you know this is the show about Ned Stark and of course I

26:37 The end of season one, they kill Ned Stark. And it's just been one thing after another, just like that. So I left this in to establish he is a huge fan. Where you know you can't... You just don't feel like the ground your walking on is solid at all and you could never... Then they sort of throw these curveballs at you because they have such terrible writing that they put out some mediocre shows and you think well these guys there's no point I'm going through emotions and not expecting anything happen And they just lower your expectations all the way down to the floor and then it's like, we just want to do this. So that's what we're going to do. People get very angry about this because it's like I don't know... It's like every time Trump does something crazy people go, you know, Trump is doing something crazy! Look everybody!

27:37 Yeah, that's right Why are you surprised? Other than I guess there is a rush that you get and it's the same with Game of Thrones It's a rush. There you go. Its Trump derangement syndrome Yeah, yeah maybe it explains two things in one go people somehow certain people respond a lot of people to mediocre crap with things that turn you upside down, twist your stomach because you get a rush from running around saying this is fucked up. That's exactly what he just said and I think his analysis is correct. The first time we used the expetive properly sorry

28:26 Sorry about that. The first time, huh? Okay. That's the first time. The rest is gratuitous. First time for everything now. Uh, that could be and it may I'd have to look at people who like the show are they all a bunch of Democrats? Well, no, no, no. Weiner is not necessarily a Democrat he hates Trump but I don't think he's a Democrat. No, he's not. He's a huge Democrat. He's voted Republican in the past and I know he has I don't care. He said he got all involved with because of Obama, because of Obama. He's now all in on a, on being political. He never was before and he never, he went, he did a whole podcast about his change from being apolitical to political and it was all because of Obama and he thinks Obama is the best and, and he expects great things for the country cause of Obama, Obama, Obama. This was of course eight or nine years ago. And uh,

29:20 You know, it's not that doesn't sound like a Republican to me. I'm not saying he's Republican. I'm saying he's not as far as I know. I don't I don't see him as a Democrat. I seem who hates someone who hates Trump illogically. So Democrat? OK, just telling you because I heard him say it. Okay fine. He's Democrat well but I don't think that's what the reason I say that I would think is important because this is just Democratic hillbots who like this show now. No, I don't think so But so far we've got three of them. Come on, you're gonna tell me Leo Laporte is a Democrat? Yeah he's a big Game of Thrones guy too isn't he? Yes of course he is! All right let's move on to something more important like this China situation fantastic

CHAPTER 08 / 39 Discussion

US Executive Order Targeting Huawei and Chinese Tech

A May 16th executive order focuses on securing the information and communications technology supply chain, effectively blacklisting Huawei from US technology. The order grants the Secretary of Commerce power to block transactions involving foreign adversaries. Discussion includes the house arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver and the "Anything But China" (ABC) manufacturing strategy.

huawei· china· executive order· donald trump· department of justice

30:09 The mainstream media, all they can talk about is well Google might not be able to sell the Android, you know, can't license Android operating system to Huawei. Did they miss the executive order? Did they just miss this and not see that this is a huge deal? This could screw China into the ground I mean really, really screw China. Besides Huawei's phones the networking equipment they have laptops and computers that will no longer be allowed to run Windows now they have a 90-day window that was created before Huawei's name goes on the list but it could put anybody on the list

30:54 It's really a very, very powerful move that is being... well of course all the mainstream news all they do is Trump-Trump bar. You're missing the real news at this to me I don't know if you guys talked about it. Explain in some details for people The executive order is very detailed Let me see if I can give you the title of that executive order. It's very detailed, but it specifically appoints the Secretary of Defense and of homeland security to make decisions about which companies American companies can share technology with. And a licensing of an operating system obviously would also be a share, but it's just cutting off all ties between US technology companies and Chinese technology or any Chinese company... Just because

31:50 This is because the Chinese have been ripping us off. Of course, of course! Another thing that you didn't hear on the M5N... Too extreme and why aren't they harping on this? There's this woman I want to get her... Let me just tell you what let me just tell you why The reason why is China owns large portions of the United States government They own the politicians their lobby is incredibly strong And they own parts of Hollywood So that's your reason why no one harps about it Hmm. Yeah, probably good reason Joe Biden's son has a billion dollar hedge fund with Chinese money Yeah, what's he gonna say exactly? What do you said no big deal is great No, what was it? Hold on me see it was I have the clip It was Biden China thought I had to clip hmm maybe not he said it was no big deal Yes, no big deal. Yeah, please

32:52 I have the Rosalind Leighton clip. I did a whole interview with her, but only have this 25 seconds on Huawei. Why don't you play that just as little backgrounder? Okay hold on a sec. What am i looking for here? I was looking for something else. Huawei? Yeah that would make sense. Oh well you put a space in it okay I got it. Huawei and the other Chinese firms have been allowed to get away with theft of our property. When you go do business in China with a joint venture, you have to turn over your information to them. They have a new espionage law which basically says all Chinese subjects have to go and do espionage on their behalf. I mean even now the case from the DOJ just released had Huawei employees would get a bonus if they'd go to T-Mobile and steal secrets

33:40 Yes, yeah. Yeah we that sort of thing yeah they in fact they stole the the T-Mobile testing robot didn't they I don't know executive order on securing the information and communications technology and services supply chain That is the executive order came out on the 16th of May have you seen anyone dissected it in the mainstream? Anyone really talk about it no play a laugh Yeah It's in the show notes. You can review it a lot of legalese, but it's very clear that The executive order says hey, it's dangerous we can't have it and we're not gonna have it unless China shapes up and They've been going after Huawei is the CFO still in custody as what's going on with her? Yes as a matter of fact House arrest I believe

34:32 Right. She has three, at least three houses in Vancouver and one of them is a mansion so I'm sure house arrest is not that painful Just got word Sergine's dad is doing better. Oh good So Huawei Yeah so I think this very big deal already we're seeing the so-called ABC strategy being implemented by corporate America I only learned about this myself recently ABC means anything but China And they're moving manufacturing or have plans to move manufacturing to other places in Asia. Vietnam is a favorite! Vietnam is big, certainly for the furniture trade. Well the furniture also... Crocs shoes are now made in Vietnam Oh my goodness you should be getting a bonus I should and by the way you have collectors items

DHS Warning on Chinese-Manufactured DJI Drones

The Department of Homeland Security issued a warning that drones manufactured by Chinese companies, specifically DJI, may be sending sensitive flight data back to China. DJI currently holds an estimated 85% of the US drone market. The hosts express skepticism regarding the security of "talking tubes" and other smart home devices.

dji· drones· department of homeland security· data privacy· surveillance

35:26 You have original Crocs made in China, the good old days. Oh my you're right I get to go that trading consortium where they trade valuable shoes But this could also affect consumers and law enforcement Here's a story about Chinese manufactured drones The ongoing US-China trade war adding a new disputed item. The Department of Homeland Security warning unmanned drones made by Chinese companies could be stealing your data this comes after the Trump administration put the Chinese tech giant Huawei on notice over national security concerns joining us now is Morgan Wright you noticed that's how the executive order is discussed yeah he put to Huawei on notice

36:12 This is how the whole Chinese economy is on notice with this a cyber security expert So it's estimated that 85% of the drones in the market right now are coming from one company in China DJI How big of a threat do you think that is? Well, Melissa as we're talking right now I'm in Jacksonville Florida at the International Association of Chiefs of Police Law Enforcement Technology Conference where drones the discussion of drones happened yesterday. Talk faster! They are happening today and they were happening tomorrow this is a huge issue In fact every agency i've talked to almost all of them are using drones that come out of China And so I think it's a huge issue The army quit buying certain brands including Hikvision and DJI two years ago It has just taken time now for the rest of the country public safety and public sector to catch up

36:58 And they go on to discuss that your data as to where you're flying and the video data is all essentially being also pushed back to some cloud in China. Although, you can opt out of it they say. Well opt-out, opt in I'd like to see some data on this Oh, me too. I mean... I want to hear from some techie that says okay well i've got the drone and we're going to do this or that there it is sending out packets. Well I guarantee you someone has done oh I'll get that for you! I haven't seen it No, I haven't looked for but I know its gonna be there. I'm wondering. I'd like to see even the NSA or any government agency which has evidence of these things are phoning home

37:43 I don't buy devices to be used as spy. That's why I don't have these other things, I don't have the talking tube in the house and all those things, I don't go for that! I don't even have a smartphone! My phone is like interrupting my computer by just pinging something all of time, maybe it's a cell tower? Maybe...I don't know It's just that you know, I don't like these open systems And so we bring all this stuff in from China and they just sell the Chinese, oh there are spy devices for the Chinese Is that what your saying?! Yes, that's exactly right. Well how come people aren't complaining about it more instead of bitching about bar Mueller because people like drones They like to play with them people like companies make drones People like their nest people like they're talking tubes people think this is all good and you and I know better You know we got lucky when they threw that Kaczynski guy in jail

Interview Production and Anthony Scaramucci Segment

The hosts review recent interviews with Anthony Scaramucci and Bill Stohl, praising the sound engineering by Tom Starkweather. Adam Curry describes the intensive editing process required to remove long pauses from the Stohl interview. Plans for future interviews with European officials are mentioned.

anthony scaramucci· tom starkweather· post-production· editing· interviews

38:36 Kaczynski. So anyway, so there's Rosalind Leighton she goes on and on with all kinds of horror stories about Huawei and I'm going to try to get her a get to do an interview with her. And I want to mention that I personally and lot of people with me felt your two interview show Mooch and Stole was extremely enjoyable to listen to well thank you! I really liked it i like both of them for different reasons I thought the Mooch was my god Tom Stark weather did a great job on On the mooch with with his with the sound yes He did he had him miked up beautifully and it came across and of course might you know? I'm using quality gear in actually use that we used his side of the recording ah Okay, that would make sense. Yes very good and

39:33 Excellent. Yeah, that was a good interview and I felt it was evergreen enough... Well now i have to do some interviews for the next time! By the way one thing you didn't know, Uh, well the first thing I had to edit out the part about we're going to do this kind of run in November and. I got that nicely taken out but stole...I probably spent an hour on the hour because he has these long pauses so I had to chop every one of them out and it sounds really good without the pauses right? Right. And there's other EQ problems and some other things I had to do uh

40:09 It came out well. I was happy enough with it, yeah now i gotta do some interviews for the next time. It's got to be my turn. Yeah about time you did some interviews. Well maybe it'll be the new leader of the European Union...of the Council Starfleet Command Frans Timmermans if he makes it today is voting He's your old buddy, isn't he? Yeah. He's my old buddy. Until you need him for an interview and then it's gonna be who? I've already kind of gotten that! I've already sent out some feelers and sent him a DM on Twitter like... He said the basketball player is a cricket fan. Exactly. I'm getting crickets now

CHAPTER 11 / 39 Discussion

European Union Spitzenkandidat Process and Elections

The "Spitzenkandidat" or lead candidate system for selecting the President of the European Commission is explained via a Euronews report. The process involves political groups nominating candidates, with the European Council then proposing a name to the Parliament. The system faces a power struggle between national leaders and EU parliamentarians.

european union· spitzenkandidat· jean-claude juncker· frans timmermans· european commission

40:50 It is an interesting system they employ in the EU, in particular for this position. Jean-Claude Juncker the drunker he's leaving and they're bringing in someone new... ...and this is the process known as the Spitzenkandidaten! Of course it's a perfect German term for the EU as it is the German Reich Spitz and Connie Dotton. And I think it would be worth listening to some propaganda from Euronews as you'll like it because if you thought voting was complicated with the electoral college how its really weird man, this like makes no sense a vote is a vote for each person of vote in popular vote and Hillary should have won You should be pretty happy not living in the European Union Beyond the European parliamentary elections lies the battle for the EU's top job

41:43 But how is the next president of the European Commission chosen and is the process democratic? Whoever gets the post oversees a body with responsibility for EU laws policy. I also know this is one of those animated videos I find the animation is insulting enough, but then this music they put behind it is like hey you're a dumb child so let me explain this really complicated process in dumb child language. Before you go on...I find it also insulting

42:20 And the other one is, it was funny once. Maybe twice it was okay but the guy drawing... Yes! The cartoons Yeah that's where it all started with the music You draw a cartoon of a house and then a man going oh my god there's a rock hitting the house and he draws the rock I mean, it is annoying at this point. I don't want to see these anymore." And I also will blame... who's Apple? They did all the famous commercials, Apple's agency They started with the ploop, bloop, bloop, bloop, the strings in the Apple commercials. Remember? The first ones? I'm a PC! I'm a Mac! Anyway so that's carried over now to European Union elections and the president of the European Commission. Overseas a body with responsibility for EU laws policies and the budget

43:15 In the past, the selection procedure was seen as rather murky. Described as horse trading between governments behind closed doors." I guess it's all gonna change! This impression persisted despite reforms giving the elected European Parliament more say. More say? Five years ago, Jean-Claude Juncker was... Now does more say sound like a vote to you or is it just more say what can I do you got some more say Despite reforms giving the elected European parliament more say five years ago Jean Claude Junker was voted in under a new system designed to be more democratic

43:53 How does it work? Now, how does more democratic even work. This is where it gets complicated before the parliamentary elections each European political group puts forward its Spitzenkandidat that's German for lead candidate Oh. The EU treaty says, taking into account the parliamentary elections and after appropriate consultations, that council elects a candidate who's then put to MEPs in the parliament for a vote.

44:38 If there's no majority, leaders and the Council have a month to propose an alternative. But the Spitzenkandidat process is under threat amid a power struggle between the European Council and Parliament. National leaders say they don't have to go along with it – some want it ditched altogether! The two main parties in parliament back the system. Their nominees have been taking part in debates with other presidential hopefuls But if the new parliament is fragmented and there's a revolt against the lead candidate system, the new commission boss could be an outsider. It's all to play for! Thanks? Thanks for nothing! Do you understand how it works?! No... Exactly no wonder people stay home

CHAPTER 12 / 39 Discussion

Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party Success

Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party are noted for their strong performance in European elections despite Farage's lack of success in UK local elections. The segment describes the dual-office system in Brussels and Strasbourg, including the stipends provided to MEPs. Adam Curry jokes about his own fame in the Netherlands potentially leading to a Eurovision hosting gig.

nigel farage· brexit party· european parliament· brussels· strasbourg

45:25 I find it peculiar, you know there's this new Brexit party in the UK. Yes yeah Farage is a Brexit party And they're taking names and kicking ass in the European elections Are they? For example how does Farage end up in the European Parliament constantly he keeps getting voted in but in the local elections in England they won't vote him for anything Do they have a special qualifying election as a different election? Because the Brits take part in the EU elections. I believe the way it works is any party can stand for an election in the European Union

46:13 You don't have to necessarily be in the local government. In fact, most people if not all of the European parliamentarians are not in local government they're part of parties and they can be affiliated with governments but it is something you vote for separately. You and I could start a party if we were natives of a certain country in Europe And then we could be voted into, which is great because you get two offices. One in Brussels one Strasbourg. You get stipends. You can hire your families. You can do all kinds of cool stuff I don't know if he ever saw this special with Farage. Uh, it was...I don't know who did it but they have him on

46:58 on film or they're taping him and he shows the place where he works here. And then he shows the Strasburg, and it shows the buildings- And he shows everyone showing up to get their stipend at nine in the morning so they can leave. Yeah, and they invest money and he blows past a guard who doesn't want anyone going in there. He says I don't listen to him and go in...I mean the whole thing is quite like a headshaker. Well, we'll see what happens. Hopefully my guy gets in and then I'll start and just start working him We should be able to get him! I mean i'm hosting the Eurovision Song Contest for Christ sakes Yeah! I'm a contender! You're famous again Again! Wooo! More paparazzi Remember this is a socialist deal so you are going to get scale Yes, you have to be scale Is that true?

47:51 Hell yeah, you don't get any of course it is. It's it's all public public broadcast corporations You're talking about the Eurovision thing yes scale for me as a host if yeah you wouldn't get like 50 grand or plus I don't think so. I'll let you know when they call, I'll tell you what they said, what the opening offer was. Yeah we've heard about that guy Curry he's speaking where is he? What's he doing now? Oh he's a what? He's a podcaster. He's a podcaster! Yeah invented podcasts, never heard that well...I knew him but kind of knew him and i don't know that I knew it but I think I knew it and they can invented podcasts but that's what he does

CHAPTER 13 / 39 Discussion

Electoral College Defense and Media Bias

The purpose of the Electoral College is discussed as a mechanism to prevent large states like California from dominating national politics. The hosts reference a segment from Chuck Todd's podcast regarding James Madison's intent for the system. They argue that the 2016 election results proved the system functioned as designed by balancing the popular vote.

electoral college· chuck todd· james madison· hillary clinton· california

48:30 Thanks. Yeah, thanks John. I'm just telling you. It's a problem I have booking people to do for these interviews Yes and now I know it is a problem we need good bookers is what we need We get good bookers we can do all the interviews You want? And we could do a whole separate series. We just need bookers when people define people for us that's all Yeah. Find him and book him. I just wanted to interrupt the, well maybe we're done with the European Union elections we'll know more on Sunday when we can talk about it... Just about the Electoral College in the US you know this is surprisingly misunderstood as of the most recent election and why would they teach it at school? I don't even know if they do anymore! They don't

49:18 Now, just if I asked you in 30 seconds to tell me the reason behind the Electoral College and you've said it before. It would be... To keep a couple of large states dominating national politics or have the majority screw over the minority? Yeah which is the problem with democracy per se. With straight up, straight up. Democracies per say are the tyranny of the majority There's no way you can't be tyrannical if it's a true democracy where the majority votes. And I think Brexit kind of, the whole Brexit thing stinks of that and actually exemplifies the problem Here is another example How about the farmers in California who can't even collect their own water because the majority determined that water has to be shipped off to the cities Yes That's the same thing That's democracy

50:12 That's how real straight-up democracy can work. And it's great if you're on the winning side of the water, not so great if you're not! But now let's listen to one of my favorite podcasts... I'm sorry, It's The Toddcast. That's right everybody Chuck Todd on The Toddcast and this is just 30 seconds with Kimberly Atkins, I think. Yeah honestly the easier way if people don't want this president in office The better way to get him out would be to not elect him in 2020 then to try to impeach well I've always thought is what would James Madison say? If he were to come back right now and say and sort of what argument Would he may wait for election all this stuff And he would say hey hey you idiots we actually gave you a remedy It was called the Electoral College and your chose not to use it and that as your the whole point of the electoral college Was to prevent

50:59 some sort of disastrous disrupter that could totally blow up the Constitution as we know it. I think it worked perfectly well, Todd Cass! It did prevent the situation we're talking about this is the blindness of the left Exactly Of the media, not the left but the media The Electoral College did its job Yeah The imperious, I will use that word. Nice word. The imperious Hillary Clinton from becoming president based on the popular vote which is mostly letting California dominate things the entire popular vote that she won...I don't know how many times have to say it because people don't seem to remember

51:42 came from California. California pushed her over the top by over 4 million votes and the amount she won on the popular vote was just 3 plus million, she would have actually lost the popular vote if you took California out of the equation and that's the reason for The Electoral College Thank You for teaching me a new word Imperious. Assuming power or authority without justification, arrogant and domineering. Imperious. Yes there you go nailed it. Imperious imperious. You don't know the song do you? No I don't well not the way your singing it. Ah great Duran Duran tune. Yeah let's return back to the 21st century shall we

Michael Avenatti Indictment and Media Fawning

Attorney Michael Avenatti faces federal indictments for allegedly stealing $300,000 from client Stormy Daniels and attempting to extort Nike. A compilation from the Free Beacon highlights how mainstream media outlets previously characterized Avenatti as a "savior of the republic" and a "beast." The charges include wire fraud and aggravated identity theft.

michael avenatti· stormy daniels· nike· extortion· cbs news

52:30 So I got a day Avenatti came into the news again. Yeah, this has been great. I'm glad you got something on this Yeah, I got a couple things well here's Avenatti's new woes is CBS report Adult film star Stormy Daniels made attorney Michael Avenatti a household name when he represented her in a lawsuit against President Trump. She wants the public to know the truth but an indictment unsealed today alleges Avenatti stole $300,000. Daniels was owed for her book detailing and alleged affair with the president According to court papers, Avenatti forged Daniel's signature on a letter to her literary agent and diverted her book advance into a bank account he controlled. He then alleged... Can I just say who is this reporting? Oh that's the woman on CBS' kind of bug-eyed and long faced Well she has a speech impediment She can't say the R

53:28 You see BS seems to have more than one or two people that do it. I can't remember her name She's she's pretty good presenter. I never ever Hated her no, I don't hate her Jeff Page though He just find it interesting that people show up in mainstream with with an obvious to me is not the speech impediment Well, she replaces that are with W's play it again. I'll start listening for it She can say ours is what you're saying uses W's instead of ours and Can you back it up and play a little bit? Yeah, I'll play the whole thing. Adult film star Stormy Daniels made attorney Michael Avenatti a household name when he represented her in a lawsuit against President Trump She wants the public to know the truth But an indictment unsealed today alleges Avenatti stole $300,000 Daniel's was owed for her book detailing... I heard three! I didn't hear three- I heard 300 thousand An alleged affair with the president

54:22 According to court papers, Avenatti forged Daniel's signature on a letter to her literary agent and diverted her book advance into a bank account he controlled. He then allegedly used the money to pay for a Ferrari, airfare hotels and even payroll for his law firm On Twitter today Avenati said No monies relating to Ms. Daniels were ever misappropriated or mishandled, I will be fully exonerated. Avenatti has also been charged with stealing from clients in Los Angeles and with attempting to extort Nike by going public with claims the shoe company was illegally paying high school basketball players He sat down with CBS News' Jerrika Duncan in March Did you try to extort Nike for millions of dollars?

55:10 No, and any suggestion is absolutely absurd. Avenatti had considered challenging President Trump for the White House he even started his own political action committee but as his legal problems piled up he announced you would not run in 2020 He used a third of the money he raised to pay himself What a slimeball Isn't that one of the most sacred things an attorney has is a trust account for your client and it's like really locked down, you can't touch it? Everything he did was illegal. It's unbelievable! Now there was a big stink made by one of the right-wing groups and they're talking about how the news media

55:54 specifically fell in love with Avinash because he was the antidote to Trump. And I will remind us that I said he has to be very careful, because he's using the boomerang and when you misuse the media to try and get something for yourself just for yourself it always comes back ten times harder and hits you in the head. Whack! So they've determined that in fact somebody did a calculation saying the media gave him $147 million worth of free publicity. And, of course they have a tendency to do this with people but listen to this compilation of all the media fawning and talking about this guy This is a compilation put together by Free Beacon He's Donald Trump

56:38 worst nightmare Michael Avenatti joining us once again is Michael Avenatti let's bring in Michael Avenatti Michael Avenatti, thank you very much he's out there saving the country Don Meacham says he may be the savior of the republic if you are something of a folk hero now I owe Michael Avenatti an apology. I've been saying enough already Michael i've seen you everywhere what do you have left to say? I was wrong brother You have A LOT TO SAY Dying to hear what you think these people all like you. I'm the only person right here Donald Trump fears more than Robert Miller We think you guys are the tip of this beer that's going to take down Donald Trump Michael Avenatti is a beast Okay, that's true and he's a beast. He's a beast

57:21 But he has a bigger calling here that being a lawyer is minimal compared to what he's doing. No one has talked tougher directly to Donald Trump on TV than Michael Avenatti and Donald Trump is afraid to mention his name. That's fascinating, Donald Trump is terrified of of Michael Avenatti. He has Trump a run for his money more than anybody else, Michael Avenatti. Existential threat to the Trump presidency The Democrats could learn something from you You are messing with Trump a lot more that they are He has no doubt created sheer panic in Donald Trump's very fragile mind Michael Avenatti is laying down the law

57:58 as guest co-host. And is he really thinking about running for president? One reason why I'm taking you seriously as a contender, is because of your presence on cable news You look at the field of Democrats right now and Avenatti's the one who stands out If they decide they value a fighter most people would be foolish to underestimate Michael Avenati I have always said that they need a fighter Look we're going to continue using the media, I think we've used it with great success Now the joke is that, then that was I thought a good compilation. Yeah and the joke is that at the end of the compilation they do it they throw a punchline in kind of something he also caught Avenatti saying which turns out to be The Great Irony this also would might work as an ISO but play Avenatti too All my sexual fantasies involve handcuffs. Oh! The view

I recommend the book The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt." I've read this is a very good book. He has essentially mapped five moral foundations on how people fall on the moral foundations determine whether they are in Universe A or B The five categories are, if you care. Fairness or proportionality and loyalty or in-group... Okay this makes no sense unless you read the book. Basically the finding of a conversation have a balance of all five moral foundations. Onward!

Visual Effects Industry and Jon Stewart Study Retraction

A study claiming that Jon Stewart leaving The Daily Show helped Donald Trump win the 2016 election was retracted due to mathematical errors. The hosts discuss the political leanings of the visual effects industry and the lack of influence late-night comedians actually have on elections. Adam Curry also mentions including the phrase "That's true!" in his wedding vows.

1:16:37 We're on to associate executive producers. This donation brings me in a knighthood and honor my 33rd birthday today on 523. Here's the donation of 235 It brings me to knighthood. I'm from Switzerland and I've decided listening to no agenda in 2015 when I lived, I started listening in 2015 while I lived in Vancouver BC. I since moved to the US and now live in New York with no agenda on my side by my side. I was able to not fall prey to the local madness of the media here and keep my sanity and help my wife keep hers

1:17:14 I'm fully convinced that listening to No Agenda makes my life better, and I thank you both for that. Call out to anyone working in visual effects who hasn't donated yet. Don't be a douchebag! Sometimes it looks like almost everyone in this line of work are crazy liberals believing every word out of John Oliver or Stephen Colbert's mouths." By the way, there was that report that said that Colbert and...oh, that Jon Stewart Quitting the Daily Show helped Trump get elected. Did you see that? It was an official study, it was published on some sites

1:18:00 But was retracted because they made a mistake in the math because I Follow this retraction watch website for all the you know peer-reviewed science that is retracted which is quite a lot. I might add and Way too much and the original yes, the original clip not enough really the original claim was that John Stewart quitting the Daily Show had at least helped Trump by 1% in getting elected. And then someone saw that they had miscalculated the mean or something, some...they'd done something wrong

1:18:39 And it turns out that Jon Stewart and John Oliver and The Daily Show, and Stephen Colbert have absolutely had zero influence on Trump being elected. I don't know which is worse for them! They were at home like man i'm important...and now oh no, didn't matter one bit. That's because they preached to the choir? Yeah It was just interesting that study was retracted Yeah, well it's still out in the public domain and it'll be believed. Oh yeah people will believe it sure. Okay... He says thank you for your courage congratulations to Adam and Tina. John Oliver's corny but I'm sure there are a few of us that are listening to the best podcast in universe donate today For title unlike to be sury Jobin of the visual effects can we please add cheese fondue and raclette? To the round table? Yeah that cheese fondue and raclette What is raclette

1:19:37 The raclette is that where they have the cheese on a, like it's like he is heated on the wheel or something and you scrape it off the wheel as kind of hot. You know? It's just...you've seen these things believe me. You've seen it look at up all right. All right. Cheese is needed and the Dutch aren't really helping us with that sorry Adam. Well Swiss cheese, Swiss manufactured cheese is some of them. Third in the world after and maybe fourth After French, I'd say number one Italian be number two And then this is Spanish. I would give three with a Dutch or what they just whale shit Where's where the Dutch that the Dutch would be down under after the Swiss so they'd be 1 2 3 4 5 how about the way? How about Wisconsin

1:20:28 20. Actually, no they're pretty good but... Hey wait wait! Do the Chinese make cheese? Well, no. Okay well you said that. Like dairy products not big dairy eaters Anyway thanks for your courage and congression Now he asked... He also wanted to ask for two jingles Yeah? Yoko Ono's The Great Gig in the Sky And listen to that one Is that what he said I got this note here Yeah and listen to that horn Listen to the horn That's foam right yeah I can play those Oh my god! Woooo! Listen to that horn

1:21:18 You've got karma. Thanks to both of you and John for being the only place to get an honest look at the news. It's true That's true throw some karma towards yourselves keep up the great work now I'm a little surprised you didn't mention that I threw that into my vows ah I didn't measure because he needed to remind me So in the middle of the vows Adam

1:22:14 Says it's just you know the back and forth, but I actually should mention this. I recorded the entire thing No one has that but you we wouldn't mind seeing it yeah? You know now It's like valuable I record it I noticed I was looking for some snapshots for the newsletter And I realized that I didn't make any so I just took nothing But videos well the picture of the picture you used with a newsletter Was not appreciated by my wife Oh, what did I say? No. It was the picture of Ellen reading but it wasn't cropped and so you got the officiant picking his nose...you know it's just a weird shot. It was not a great shot! That's what I was about to say. I'm looking for snapshots that I can use in the newsletter and all I realized is that all I did was take videos

1:23:12 We had a video of you cutting the cake. I got a video of... There was one video after another, and I said holy crap! And so I found that one picture and I did crop it because i was using a super wide angle lens So it was cropped. Yes, I left the guy picking his nose because it was funny. And I thought she would be irked about my commentary that I wrote underneath the picture as the caption. No yes, that was irksome too Yeah, but anyway. She knows the business. Well now that she's part of the enterprise... Okay so that's true! So he throws in in the middle of the ceremony as part of his... In the voice he goes, That's true!

1:24:01 That's why I want to see it. Looking into the audience when he does that... I turned my head too! I totally threw a dike at him, hold on- that's true! Come on people were laughing who didn't even know what the hell it meant? That's how good the timing was. Almost everybody in that group. Anyway so that was funny you're right uh So what is Jeffrey? Does Jeffrey get a- He's gonna give him something here or does he need a- Give him a karma towards yourselves yeah he needs a greedy karma You've got karma. I do a prayer. That gives me a kick and such. It's funny, searching through the tunnels uh yeah that concludes our list of producers executive producers and associate executive producers for show 1140 you want to thank each every one of them for really helping get this show it was great it's been a tough month fact that we didn't do a show last Sunday well we did do a show which took actually more time than probably the show usually takes

Real-Time vs. Post-Produced Podcasting Techniques

Adam Curry explains the difference between "posted" (post-produced) shows and real-time broadcasting. He estimates that 90% of podcasts are heavily edited in post-production, which he believes removes spontaneity. He advocates for the "live-to-tape" method used by Joe Rogan and the No Agenda show to maintain a human element.

post-production· live broadcasting· joe rogan· roadcaster· editing

1:25:17 That's a production part. Yeah, it takes because it's posted this is the beauty of the regular show We're done and we're done on to the next one yes exactly well On behalf of the show and the enterprise, the value network here in Austin and The Keeper I would say. Thank you for supporting the work we do pretty much continue working throughout anything in our lives one way or another that's why The Honeymoon will be filled with shows from the road European flavor and such but also just understanding how the value system works with all the de-platforming going on. I think we chose a very smart path

1:25:59 It's not an easy one, but it is our show together and we are making it work Into our 11th season now. Thank you for all of your courage And remember we'll be back here on Sunday to do it all over again with more deconstruction You can support the work at vorac.org slash N A And We've got a lot more coming up just remember it's all here. It's a formula propagate. Our formula is this...We go out, we hit people in the mouth I'm sorry, I should clarify something. So use jargon and I really try not to oh when I say because people wonder what that means when I say it's posted

1:26:51 I mean it's post-produced. Posted is just the short version of... Oh, okay yeah posted yes. It means that you post produce it means you do the show after you've done that you create the material and then you put the show together and you do the editing and if you tweak it and you do the sound you compress you do all these things after you've done it And that is way most people for some reason in a lot of podcasting schools teach this Well I'll tell you the reason why The reason why is that people did not have the equipment available to them. It's still really not Readily available in a form that makes sense there's no hey, here's your box to do you great voice and podcasting Well as the roadcaster ripoff and that's story for another day So people started post-processing to make it sound good And I will tell you that I believe

1:27:48 It's probably a good 80% maybe even higher. Maybe even 85 90 percent of all podcasts are done in post-production mode if these people would take the time to learn how to do it in real time and You know that shoots send me an email I'll tell you what gear to get I mean Horowitz does it in real time the show stock broke this show money manager The show would, your show will be better. It's just you I hear the love and the spontaneity chopped out of so many podcasts. Joe Rogan does it all live great podcast yeah I don't think he's sitting around chopping up stuff

1:28:30 Just let it flow and don't worry about your flubs. It makes you human, but you got to make it sound good at the end. It has to sound like a big whiner clip Well that doesn't really bother me. That's just I was podcast only like two minutes long so it's not a problem But if you're gonna listen something for any length of time yeah You might want to consider that But the post-production, and this is the thing that I like about it the most besides the fact that you're done. Is that it gets another word use of the word posted. It gets posted as a finished product for people to download within an hour. As opposed to one of the shows, that unfiltered show used to be posted. It was post produced and they would take them days to get the show out. Oh hell yeah!

De-platforming and Laura Loomer's Financial Loss

Laura Loomer appeared on Alex Jones's program to discuss the impact of being banned from major social media platforms, claiming she lost 90% of her income. The hosts discuss how "brand safety" for advertisers drives corporate censorship. They argue that while the situation is difficult for individuals, it is driving innovation in alternative platforms.

laura loomber· alex jones· de-platforming· censorship· advertising

1:29:17 I used to do television shows, it would take two days of editing. And then we started doing live and it was the best thing ever you start at 7 p.m., you're done at 10-8 go home nothing left to do and have a meeting the next day when the ratings come out that was lovely! I want to talk about the deplatforming thats happening and where its leading and im actually very positive about some things I've been noticing over the past week in the deplatforming again from Yes, there are people in these companies in Google and Facebook and all on Twitter. There's lots of people who will tweak the algos push someone off you know this hates of course it's what happens in companies with lots of employees You know there's people who like we've discussed on the show whose job It is they're their contractors And they listen to stuff and say yeah maybe I don't know send it off you know send it to the algo again

1:30:17 But really most of it is just to keep brand safe content on these platforms. And by brand safe, these days that means nothing controversial so they don't really even want their ads anywhere near anyone who for example would talk about InfoWars or Alex Jones And it's all for the advertisers. There is always political bias, but the political bias starts with God—the American god—the advertiser and that's where the biases so if you really want to change that you need to go after all advertisers But everyone is too chicken shit they won't do that but other things are happening just add some color to this Laura Loomer who was de-platformed very early on Was on with Alex Jones as a documentary coming out

1:31:03 About the people who have been de-platformed. May even be out, I saw the trailer for it and not going to play it for you It's all very dramatic. Oh they're taking away our free speech! So horrible! They're censoring us And I just don't buy into that We don't need YouTube Google Twitter we don't need them We've been functioning, we worked very very hard at it and have been doing it a long time and very consistently on Thursdays and were alive and were doing it This hysteria is concerning, but it is also driving something positive which I'll explain after we listen to Laura Loomer and her plight.

1:31:46 on the Alex Jones show. Well, I wish that he would do something like I said, I confronted Congress and when Jack Dorsey was testifying in September and I begged President Trump to do something before it was too late And that's when I still had access to my Twitter account right? But I was mocked Right? Look at that asshole Billy Long in Congress It's mocked me and called me crazy but what are they doing?! I want to know what people are actually going to DO! My life is ruined I don't understand how ruined my life is. I want to listen to people tell me that I'm a conspiracy theorist! They all know what it's like to be me, right?

1:32:27 Okay, he's concerned about it but that's not gonna stop the fact that I've lost 90% of my income. That's not going to stop the fact that I literally can't make a living anymore even though I have a degree! I was valedictorian in college! I graduated top of my class in my journalism program and I'm sick of it! I'm fighting harder than most conservatives! I'm fighting harder than anybody and I'm being destroyed and they mock me and they say I'm some crazy conspiracy theorist- Well, that's what happens, Lorna Leaders so...I hear you That's what happens to the leaders. That's right, they get them going first, them leaders! Hey first of all there are plenty of things you can do consider webcam work There is tons of stuff you can do but... Arse? That's mean I know it was a mean joke I know it was a mean joke I didn't really mean that But look I'll tell ya if I lost 90% of my income I'd be on the webcam so damn fast your head would spin

Gab's Dissenter Browser and Google Purchase Tracking

Gab has released the Dissenter browser, a fork of the Brave/Chromium project designed to be lightweight and privacy-focused. The hosts also warn listeners about "google.com/purchases," a tool that aggregates a user's shopping history by scanning receipts in their Gmail account. They suggest this data collection is a precursor to more invasive monitoring.

gab· dissenter browser· brave· open source· google purchases

1:33:23 I do whatever I have to do just to keep alive and support my family as I have done in the past. I work for MTV, says enough what levels I stooped too but the deep platforming is driving incredible innovation and re-innovation and I'll explain it most of the companies that we use and believe we can't be without are And then we're hooked. A lot of people are very hooked, particularly on Gmail I want to write and remember to say something about Gmail in a moment They are built on open source

1:34:03 and open source that they take and add to, you know when they add to under the particular licenses they also have to publish the changes they've made. And this is how we get things like the Chromium browser which is open source but there's other even just the web servers, the underpinnings, the technology it's really out there its available And what no one ever thinks about is, you know what if a bunch of people who weren't necessarily funded by VC or if they really you know they like this big money scheme but whatever just people who are just kind of interested in creating recreating technology that everybody can use that is not controlled and not spying on you.

1:34:49 And Laura Loomer is actually on Gab, gab.com. Gab is a competitor to Twitter and Instagram and Facebook with search to some degree to Google but not really But they're social network and they have very stand back rules, you can do really pretty much whatever you want as long as it's within the constitutional definition of free speech which means there are some limitations about threatening language etc. And it is a competitor to

1:35:27 to these companies and people are on it. Mostly Twitter Yeah, but people are on it and they're using it I have an account, I've been on and off of it But what they did is they took the open source version of the Brave browser, which we have raved about before. Brave has its own company... you know they're a real commercial company they've got huge funding. It's this guy who one of their early Mozilla guys was roasted by Mozilla for sexual harassment or something? No no he He he gave money to an anti- It wasn't even sexual harassment. He gave money! Oh my god, he gave money to a Republican Yes And it was it was too a group who was petitioning against same sex marriage That's that was a true offense. Well that was a horrible offense so you can't do that Send him to hell So they took the brave browser stripped out all the crap and

1:36:27 And Brave is also, I think... I don't know if it's based on... Yeah. I think it's based on Chromium. You know took out a lot of the things that were just heavyweight and added in their dissenter, which is... I think we've discussed this before. It's a little button and anywhere that any website any page you're on you click that button and you have your own... You can start your own comment thread so really kind of what Disqus should have done but instead of Disqus or discus is a commenting system that works on the website. This works within your browser, so you can go around and you can have conversations and of course you can also shadow that to Gab so that you have a record there but it's very interesting way of conversing but the browser this browser is finally what I would call the people's browser

1:37:22 It is so lightweight, it is so fast. It kicks Brave's ass a million times over! It is faster than any other browser I've run on Windows and certainly on the Mac What are you talking about? The Dissenter Browser that Gab made they made a browser They took the open source of all these... Oh, I was confused. I'm sorry They took the open-source code of all these douchebags And I'm saying the brave guys douchebag, not really douchebags but and said screw it we're gonna make the people's browser and we're gonna take out all the spying block all this things you don't want to have. Make it super fast lightweight and they succeeded! It is a fantastic product You should not use any other browser at this in my opinion and these guys are also... Where do you get this browser? Gab.com slash download

1:38:13 In addition, they're also talking about forking because that's what it is. You fork you take the open source project and create a new project from it as completely legal like I'm gonna fork it. I'm going to create my own side project It's the way open-source was meant to be and they're going do that to Keybase And Keybase is probably the largest repository of Identity so secure, you know like Pidge my encryption key, my public key. That is identity. A true identity in the crypto world and the way it was kind of intended originally on the internet, they're talking about forking that and turning that into a real consumer-facing business than not just techies and people who understand how to do encrypted email They'll make it simple And they haven't really shown a business model yet I'm not quite sure exactly where there going to go I would donate money to them hand over fist as much as I could

1:39:13 to support this, but I think we are going to see the more de-platforming takes place the more people are moving towards these platforms and a tipping point is coming. Not for Google. Google has other issues that tied into the spy apparatus so it's you know that their whole origin It was kind of hard to remove them But if i tell you that you go to google dot com slash purchases You should try this John Google I did okay, and what did you see? I got five purchases that weren't made by me. I don't know who did them I never got charged for him one purchase by me and the rest nothing hey I have the same I Actually had a bogus purchases from someone this thought not even you no I did not get bogus It's actually my account google.com Here's what I have on mine 100 gigabytes of Google every month

1:40:12 I purchased a Surface dock, which i didn't buy through. I bought it from the Windows store, Microsoft Store Something for my hearing aids and really... You got more! I only had one legitimate And so none of these things I purchase through Google And the way they do it. I agree, the one that showed up for me was from Amazon but it was only one thing and I buy like probably 20 things a month from Amazon for the last since 2000 whatever at least 10 years and there's just 1 so I'm not freaked out about this because its like doesn't work. The reason why is squirrel mail

1:40:53 Google collects this purchase information by going through your Gmail and pulling out receipts. Ah! Well, yeah it doesn't have access to scroll mail... But so whoever thinks this is a good idea and that they're only doing it with receipts you need to check yourself. You having an affair pal? Google knows. Google knows and one of these days, hey buddy this is kind of interesting I wonder if your wife wants to see this email yours. It's one step away. I love that email blackmailing operation. No, I love the email Yeah, I hacked your webcam. I saw what you were doing watching that porn send me a Bitcoin or i'm gonna release the video I think I ever get one of those Tina got one the other day Tina got one the other day yeah, let's see the video

5G Rollout and the End of Net Neutrality

The proposed T-Mobile and Sprint merger is tied to a commitment to roll out 5G broadband to 99% of the US population. Adam Curry argues that the 5G protocol is the "opposite of net neutrality" because it uses a prioritization system for different types of data. Concerns are raised about the use of unlicensed spectrum and the potential for interference with smart meters.

5g· t-mobile· sprint· net neutrality· spectrum

1:41:50 But there's lots of things that are backfiring and well just to wrap this up the internet is not these companies Legislating them as long as they're legislating these companies. I don't care what they do do whatever you want um, I know if they're completely unimportant to what we're doing and Well depending on how 5g is rolled out You know you're gonna be okay not using these services which brings me to 5G Very interesting, T-Mobile you know they are still waiting for regulatory approval to purchase Sprint and the reason they want to purchase Sprint is for their towers mainly. But John Ledger did a video which I won't bore you with but it was the T-Mobile commitment

1:42:41 And the T-Mobile commitment is to rolling, if you approve this for us. If you approve this merger we commit to rolling out 5G broadband rural areas etc., etc., etc.. and they published the documentation which I was very interested in that just so you know what they're really talking about doesn't seem as spectacular as the promises that are being made in the media Now AT&T has a little different story, but for T-Mobile they promise they will blanket up to 90% of the country's population with mid band spectrum and 100 percent of the country's population with low band spectrum 5G.

1:43:28 which will result in Americans receiving speeds in excess of 100 megabits per second within three years of closing. Within six years of the mergers closed, the applicants commit to deploy a 5G network with low band coverage of at least 99% of the population mid-band 90%, with speeds between 450 megahertz and and 1.5 gigahertz, but that will really only be... You said yeah? What did I say? 450 megabits per second. You said megahertz! That's because i'm reading the document and that's the interesting part. The document says that?! No, I was reading ahead. I'm multitasking. Oh sorry okay. And also rolling a split there is a whole bunch of things going on here so what I was interested in

1:44:19 Is what frequencies are going to use it's one and did that and I understand the 5g protocol much better now? Well, let's get to that in a second But the actual transmitters that T-Mobile is talking about, I'm less worried about than what AT&T is talking about. Because they're talking about mid band which is in the 5 to 6 gigahertz range which is your Wi-Fi This is where the problem comes into play There's a whole lot of people using this, they call it the unlicensed spectrum that these phone companies now want to start using and because of the protocol, of how they can slice frequencies and basically use the same frequency as for example your Wi-Fi but it wouldn't interfere with each other. Yeah right. Well Wi-Fi itself has a number of channels so you can do that yeah yeah but we're talking a lot more... The 5G protocol is really splitting this up much more than Wi-Fi

1:45:18 And Wi-Fi is at 2.3, so anything... But everyone's now fighting over this because the smart meters are going to run into trouble! Smart meters are on these frequencies which we're not against we don't like these smart meters all there's you know weather forecasting sensors as all kinds of issues that come down to this to these frequencies but what I found interesting is that in the open document that T-Mobile published They've redacted the frequency. that they're going to be on. They say mid-band so I can only assume it's going to be between 5 and 6 gigahertz but everywhere... sorry? If you're thinking of the real bandwidth or the potential which includes terahertz waves, It's gotta be there yeah The mid band could be 500 you know what mid band is when you keep reading with mid band i just keep hearing blah blah blah doesn't mean anything well let me read you the sentence where they redacted

1:46:23 5g sites nationwide an average of oh, that's the bandwidth That's the band an average of redacted megahertz of low-band and mid-band 5G spectrum So they're not even telling us how wide the spectrum is that they're going to use but everywhere you go down further Here it is This is what they expect to do. Applicant plans for new T-Mobile Home Internet, and this is really where this is going... ...this is what AT&T wants to do, what T-Mobile wants to do will break the mold for in home broadband as described in applicants filing The new T-Mobile Home Internet will provide minimum speeds of 25 megabits per second downlink 3 megabits per second uplink more than fast enough for streaming 4k Ultra HD video

1:47:11 provide average speeds above 100 megabits per second, but again it's every single frequency. They redacted the frequency but they didn't list the frequency in gigahertz but in megahertz so would have to say 6,000 megahertz which would be 5 gigahertz But they...but its all redacted So we don't really know the frequencies that are going to beyond. My point is this... Maybe they do not know themselves It's also possible, but they talk about… You know it is also possible that there is a bidding war coming up and they don't want anyone to know what they're going to be bidding on. I think that because this is the unlicensed spectrum as they call it which is not entirely true – I think that's why they are being cagey about it – but this took me into the protocol itself

1:48:01 And this is very interesting, because you know we talk about 5G. Is it just the transmitters? Is it just the frequency? No! It's really the protocol and they're now at this I think the 16th version of it as its being rolled out This thing is essentially a prioritization system. It is the opposite of net neutrality The complete opposite It gives high priority to some media, lower priority to lower latency applications. High priority to self-driving cars. High access priority to Internet of Things. It is the exact opposite of net neutrality! It is complete prioritization of everything at the whim of whoever's running this network something you don't hear anyone talking about

1:48:56 because nobody knows what they're doing. AT&T is doing the the high frequency to the home, that'll be on the poles outside. Whereas T-Mobile I think is kind of... You don't want that? No! That's exactly what we don't want but for sure this isn't.. The network itself is not going to be one you really wanna be connected to. You wanna connect to the internet, I don't think you wanna connect through this 5G protocol which will downgrade anything that is not explicitly promoted and sanctioned within the system, within the network. Sounds right! Yeah which brings me since we're talking about this sort of thing I do want to talk about the home plug... yeah is that now is your power line? Is that what's cutting out on the show all the time? Not hooked to that okay The power line thing I probably wouldn't be cutting out

HomePlug Powerline Networking Gear Review

Adam Curry reviews specific Powerline networking hardware, including the Tenda AV1000 and the TP-Link AC750. These devices use a home's electrical wiring to transmit internet signals, providing an alternative to Wi-Fi. He highlights the benefits of "pass-through" sockets and multiple Ethernet ports for stable connections in large homes.

homeplug· tenda· tp-link· powerline adapter· wifi hotspot

1:49:54 The way I was cutting out on was a straight up, straight from the router gigahertz. How that's cutting out is beyond me. That's hot! What i'm on now is a high frequency wireless Comcast connection No A home plug is used for various reasons. It's the best way to get to isolate back of the house, long distance stuff without using...without pumping up the Wi-Fi and just... You know you already went through this right? Are you going to redo the whole thing or...? Yeah well no somebody wrote in saying they want to know the details because I went through it just in general but didn't talk about the gear. Alright good!

1:50:34 So there's two pieces of gear that I bought and they both run simultaneously in parallel not interfering with each other because one is coming off of one line and the other. The cheap one is the Tenda AV1000. And by the way, these are cross compatible anything home plug compatible works with each other they have different speeds. The AV1000 is a gigabit product it's the cheapest thing and its $37.99 cents and I sent you...I don't know if you ever ordered one but I sent you the details on that when that's what I wanted to test against the ham radio. It's on order? The other one which I have, which is a more elaborate one. It costs $42.99 and these are by the way they come in pairs so you buy the 10-1000 it's just plugs in the wall you stick your connection from your router into it and then you pair the two by pushing a button

1:51:29 and the two devices, then you take the other device unplug it from the wall. Keep the one plugged in where your router is and then put the other one anywhere you want in a house and then the line will be going down to that over their home power lines. The TP-Link AC750 is a little more elaborate because it's got a pass through which I kind of recommend which means there's a plug on the front matches the plug in the back so you don't waste a plug. You know, pass through is you got to sock it in the device itself. It's a 750 protocol which is 750 megabits per second still compatible but this one is interesting because you get the pair and the one that goes by the router is just similar to rest of them and its usually has gotta pass through plug And then the other one after your pair

1:52:24 and put it someplace in the house. The other one is got three ports, three ethernet ports coming out of it so straight wires to three devices and you can turn on a wifi hotspot if you want And the Wi-Fi hotspot will reflect the supposedly, although I don't believe this is quite true because you played with it. But supposedly it reflects the exact functionality of the router so whatever your password is should be the same. Oh that's cool! and that one is $4299. I don't know which is the two I would recommend but...I like the idea of the pass through socket

1:53:10 The Wi-Fi I don't need. I like three ports, the TP link doesn't have quite the speed but it's not important. These things home plug does have ones that run at two gigabits per second which i find to be unusable and you can get to that number I have not done a lot of testing of the connections, what the speeds are using any that... It's definitely better than it used to be. I've used those and it was not a good experience so I'm just waiting for mine to arrive That is what I felt! In fact Dave Foley was at the... At the... Ceremonies yeah He's a Grand Duke and he does... he's working on 8k stuff

1:53:51 for television, he said I asked him of course the first question you ask a guy when talking about that what's what bandwidth do you need to get an 8k stream? 20. 20 megabits per second will do it but uh...he was talking about the same thing which is the original of these things they didn't work no this sucks! This sucks! They couldn't hold signal These new ones are fantastic products Man, we are just a product review show today. This is fabulous People want to know these things well you're kind of repeated everything you said on the last show I didn't talk about the brands and I didn't talk about the pastors They didn't talk about the port numbers they didn't talk about the Wi-Fi extension Yes, you did no he didn't okay anyway But there it is onto vaccines sure when I go to vaccines right now yeah, I got a series of clips

John Brennan and the Trump Dossier Claims

The hosts revisit claims made by Joe diGenova regarding a plot by former CIA Director John Brennan to frame Donald Trump using the Steele Dossier. They reference comments by Bob Woodward suggesting that the investigation into Trump was politically motivated from the start.

1:54:58 You want to do something else? Well, I just yeah. I wanted to do the vaccines after you know what because i do have a couple because I took over since you dropped the ball okay what did I dropped the ball on this time the Genova guy on the Huckabee show oh Joe DeGenoa yeah DeGenoa that's guy yeah And so I saw him again, and said okay this guy's getting on my nerves. I didn't drop the ball you're poaching in my turf is what going on here. Yeah, well he could say that...I think that's legit So i poached a clip and thought I'd play it Bob Woodward who was no Trump fan for sure and certainly not a card carrying member of the Republican National Committee basically was saying this was the work of John Brennan

1:55:49 Well, there's no doubt this is pretty simple stuff for career prosecutors like Rudy and myself. It has been evident from day one that there was a brazen plot to exonerate Hillary Clinton illegally and then if she lost the election to frame Donald Trump This dossier was a knowing part of that. It was created by Hillary Clinton, it was created knowingly by John Brick- So at what point did you not hear me play this clip on the previous show? Oh, okay... Here's my clip! Bob Woodward with no Trump in his gaucho jeans See?! It's the same damn clip Dvorak That's what you get for poaching Alright I'll do an entremont then i'll get into vaccines Sheryl Sandberg

Lean In Survey and MeToo Workplace Consequences

A new study from Sheryl Sandberg's "Lean In" organization finds that 60% of male managers are now uncomfortable participating in common workplace activities with women, such as mentoring or business travel. The hosts discuss the unintended consequences of the MeToo movement, suggesting that fear of litigation is causing men to avoid professional interactions with female colleagues.

sheryl sandberg· lean in· metoo· mentorship· sexual harassment

1:56:32 Very famous for her book, Lean In. And it started a movement and women were leaning in and women were saying enough of this! And hashtag me too started and it was like hey we're done- and by the way no disagreement from this show about sexual harassment whatsoever sometimes things backfire and they go too far. Of course it's our fault, it's men's fault everything that is happening to women is our fault particularly old straight white men and she was on CNBC to talk about a very complicated result of the lean in me too movement you are straight off this stage where we were just talking about leaning and new study you've just released indicating that women are actually

1:57:21 having less access to mentorship and their bosses than they were even a year ago. What's going on here? Yeah, it's really important so today we just released the Lean In Survey Monkey study that shows that 60% of male managers in the United States are afraid to do a one-on-one activity with a woman, including having a meeting. I mean can you believe that? 60% of senior men is nine times more likely to hesitate to travel with a woman and six times more likely to hesitate to have dinner with the woman and the problem with that is women already weren't getting the same mentorship than men were particularly women of color

1:57:58 And no one's ever gotten a promotion without getting a one-on-one meeting. And so I think men and women need to be able to travel together, they need to go to meetings together, go to meals together—all of that can be done in public spaces—but those one on one conversations And if there's a man out there who doesn't want to have work dinners with a woman, then he shouldn't have work dinners with a man. You know group lunches for everyone if that's how they feel It seems like the movements of the past year or so The Time's Up movement Me Too actually had real negative implications for many women in the workplace What's your message to corporate America about this? So I don't believe they've had negative implications I believe they're overwhelmingly positive because half of women have been sexually harassed

1:58:39 But the thing is, it's not enough. It's really important not to harass anyone but that's pretty basic we also need to not be ignored and so my message is if we want to change workplace dynamics you You know where the least sexual harassment is? Organizations that have more women in senior leadership roles. And so we need to mentor women, we need to sponsor women, and we need to have one-on-one conversations with them that get them promoted. This number has moved up! Last year it was 46% of men were afraid to have that one on one meeting today at 60%. Both are totally unacceptable I find this so sad

1:59:16 that this is her own survey. Her husband, who died in Mexico on the treadmill... He was the majority shareholder I think of the SurveyMonkey so it's arguably she's one of the largest shareholders This is exactly the unintended consequences of people who think they know what policy is. This is why when the Federal Reserve raises or lowers it, no one knows what's really going to happen there are too many factors in the world but do not Be honest with yourself and say, variable thank you. To not be honest enough to say hey we took it too far because people were getting trashed careers ruined many you know correctly so

2:00:05 But a lot not. Many under false accusations or setups, in fact you mentioned the situation at Kleiner Perkins. I did they tried to set me up. Obviously one of these sharks that was working there and she was looking to get you to say something or do something because she tell that story again because it's quite interesting if these people are out there She was receptionist at Kleiner Perkins who big investor in my company at the time and There, you know there'd been a I guess was a party Kleiner party or something. Hey, I got a call from Ray Lane He says that yeah did you? Did you suggest to go smoke? Illegal drugs and take mushrooms with her so pretty talking about no She said that I turned around and that by the way That was at the reception desk when she said that

2:00:56 There's all these things and there was she had implicated five senior partners at Kleiner Perkins. And it turns out she'd been doing this at other companies, which is very interesting about their hiring practices I don't know how they check stuff Well, you can't. That's the other thing you can't really check things anymore because it's illegal to say anything bad about someone. We're talking about California here as for most of these things take place I took the training You never did by the way at Amevio about sexual harassment and I took the training showing all the kinds of lawsuits you can be sued For making it pass that a girl doesn't even work at your company if she's walking past the building outside It's

2:01:33 Unbelievable. This is discouraging what Cheryl Sanders is moaning and groaning about, is part of the system if women expect that they're going to get any further because the system has been set up by mostly the courts I don't even blame the women for this it's ruining Oh no, I'm not saying the women are to blame. I'm saying the veracity which this was picked up and going after people and spreadsheets of people and just trying out people for all... Hey! Everybody who has any kind of corporate interest like I'm gonna stay away I'm not gonna take the risk. Why take a chance? And that's on you Sheryl Sandberg that's on you

2:02:20 Why take a chance? You want me to go, I'm not even standing with it. I'm not going to go out and have dinner with some employee because I wanna do some mentoring. No! That's just asking him to get sued." So very disturbing that she does not see this because now the problem is beyond the court system is become a social thing This guy looked at me funny. He said my hair looked nice, rah! That's the society we live in so congratulations on that and I feel horrible for women this is completely shit because if this is exactly what you did it's the same thing with trans

CHAPTER 25 / 39 Discussion

Transgender Athletes in Women's Sports

The inclusion of transgender women in female sports is discussed as a "disaster" for biological female athletes. The hosts mention Martina Navratilova's criticism of the practice and her subsequent ostracization from certain advocacy groups. They argue that current policies are creating a "catch-22" that undermines the integrity of competitive women's sports.

transgender· women's sports· martina navratilova· billie jean king· fairness

2:03:13 male to female, transgender trans. I think i'm trying to get the language right so don't get me excoriated in women's sports who gets screwed over? Women! Oh that woman sports thing is a disaster Yes, I agree who gets screwed over there who people get screwed over are women yes Not somebody who's become a woman or someone who identifies as a woman, who doesn't even do anything. There are plenty of those types you know they're not even transgender They're just I've decided i'm a woman and then they say I'm gonna go play women sports And then because of the catch 22 we created for ourselves oh well you have to let them

2:03:57 Well now they're playing competitive sports. And if you're Billie Jean King, no Martina Navratilova and you say hey this is bullcrap You're kicked out of society! Get out of the group! You crazy woman In the meantime, we have these insane laws. You can't even think abortion which rightly so women are protesting and saying hey it's my body I'll do what i want now. Now I don't want to go deep into this but I certainly agree that if you find out you're pregnant you should be able to change that situation. If you're waiting six months I have a different feeling about it

CHAPTER 26 / 39 Discussion

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Vaccine Indemnification

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. argues that the 1989 indemnification of vaccine manufacturers led to a massive increase in the childhood vaccine schedule and a corresponding rise in chronic diseases. He cites an EPA study suggesting a spike in neurodevelopmental and autoimmune disorders began that same year. Kennedy claims that vaccines are the only medical products exempt from standard safety testing.

robert f. kennedy jr· vaccines· hhs· epa· chronic disease

2:04:40 Certainly, my body... you can't tell me what you can do with my body. Which drives me nuts! Really? Yeah, you can. No, it's very funny. Really? Really what? Vaccine police?! This is where I was going! Thank you very much this was my bridge to vaccines and that is what is so disturbing. Stay off of my body men can't make decisions for my body but when it comes to vaccines shoot it into my kids' bodies! I'm all for it Robert Kennedy Jr. branded an anti-vaxxer, John you and I are semi vaxers we've been vaccinated we believe in certain vaccinations but not the two... I have a smallpox vaccine Not the almost 300 vaccines that are now on the slate so this is multiple clips

2:05:31 RFK jr.'s voice affliction has gotten better. He's much more understandable I'm happy for him because now he was outside I guess the is the capital in Albany, New York and He'd it's in the show notes you need to watch the whole thing from all context but he does he mentions multiple facts which you can look up that I think are very important just for our own group, for our own producers. For yourself and I want to play these it's you know most of them about a minute long but it's you know there's five of them so it's gonna take a few minutes here but I think it's worth it otherwise it wouldn't bore ya

2:06:17 We on the show we've discussed many times that the companies who make vaccines are Indemnified you cannot sue them. When did all of the problems start with children's health? It started in 1989 and here's the history as delivered by Kennedy Jr. The vaccine industry when I was a little boy was $270 million dollars, so I got three vaccines and I was fully compliant Today it is a 50 billion dollar industry 20% of pharmaceutical revenues today but that's at the front end

2:07:03 At the back end are all the chronic diseases that FDA says we think they are associated with vaccines. 150 injuries and they're now listed on a product insert, and the reason they're listed on the product inserts is because FDA has made a determination that those injuries were more than likely caused by the vaccine This is the chronic disease epidemic Adele was referring to. I have six kids, if you're my kid...I had 11 brothers and sisters. I had over 50 cousins. I didn't know a single person with a peanut allergy Why do my kids all have food allergies? Because they were born after 1989 If you were born prior to 1989

2:08:02 Your chance of having a chronic disease according to HHS is 12.8%. If you are born after 1989, your chance of having a chronic disease is 54%! What are they? There's a neurodevelopmental diseases, ADD, ADHD speech delay, language delay, tics, Tourette syndrome ASD autism, the autoimmune diseases, even beret Multiple sclerosis, juvenile diabetes rheumatoid arthritis Anaphylactic diseases food allergies rhinitis asthma eczema Congress ordered EPA

2:08:46 to find out, to do a study to find out what year the disease epidemic started. And EPA did that study and they said it started in 1989 So 1989 is when the indemnification took place and this is when, I like how he positions this as the back end is the real problem. And of course there's all kinds of medication for all those symptoms that according to the product insert could be caused by the vaccine. Is he implying that

2:09:24 They've been putting stuff in the vaccines and by the way We do know if you remember the show from like eight years ago seven years ago. Mm-hmm where there was the vaccines that were recalled Because they had live virus in them, and it's actually gonna create the disease And they caught it somehow remember this one I recall flying flu thing mm-hmm. I recall this oh And there was like these, oh we gotta bring the vaccines back because somebody did some quality control testing and they found that it wasn't a vaccine. It was the disease! Well we're going to get into that specifically which I think will be an eye opener or it was to me

CHAPTER 27 / 39 Discussion

Adam Schiff and Silicon Valley Vaccine Censorship

Representative Adam Schiff reportedly pressured tech giants like Facebook, Google, and Amazon to censor "misinformation" regarding vaccines. Adam Curry highlights a $668 million partnership between Google and GlaxoSmithKline as a potential conflict of interest. The discussion centers on the lack of placebo-controlled safety trials for the 72 vaccines currently mandated for children.

adam schiff· facebook· google· glaxosmithkline· censorship

2:10:02 By the way, he has a whole organization that what they want is safe vaccines not anti-vaccines. He mentions this later You've probably seen that there were news reports about social networks blocking people who are propagating misinformation about vaccines you're an anti-vaxxer you're getting kicked off your D platform Google results not available you read these reports and Well, he tells us... I was called an anti-vaxxer by one of the Lib Joe's. I don't even know what to say to that. Yeah go on

2:10:44 It's interesting to find that, so you've read these stories about social media and search engines removing results? You're supposedly kicking people if you said something gets blocked or they ban you until you take it. You have to delete the tweet yourself Well now listen to this There are 273 new vaccines in the pipeline but I was astonished when one of the leading Democrats in our country Adam Schiff went to the internet titans The Facebook to Google, which has a $668 million partnership with GlaxoSmithKline. The biggest vaccine producer in the world to make drugs and mine your personal information so they can sell you more drugs. And to Pinterest, Facebook,

2:11:39 on Instagram, all of the different... and Amazon. And told them you need to start censoring information about complaints and information about pharmaceutical products." Adam Schiff went to the companies and said, You have to stop this! That is real censorship. That's government orchestrated censorship Adam Schiff said you have to stop what you had to stop people that were questioning some of these vaccines like HPV. Well under the heading of, uh, You can't let misinformation get out there. So any discussion is misinformation according to Adam Schiff? Yes and he went to the big Silicon Valley companies and said you gotta start removing that shit...and they did!

2:12:33 Outrageous! But okay, let's get a little background on the CDC. As we know that the drug companies are indemnified for problems occurring from vaccines What is the history of this? Everybody knows And you can't sue a vaccine company. That's why we had this gold rush and explosion of vaccines beginning in 1989, but most people do not know that the vaccine companies have an even more important exemption. They are exempt from safety testing their products it is the only medical product reason for that is because

2:13:16 It's an artifact of CDCs legacy as the public health service, which was a quasi military agency and the CDC took it over in the late 1970s. And that is why people at CDC often had military ranks like Surgeon General. The vaccine program was initiated as a national security defense against biological attack Because of that, they wanted to make sure we could get vaccines out to the public very quickly if Russia sent anthrax over here. So they wanted to remove

2:13:57 all of the regulatory impediments that would prevent a quick deployment of that product. They said if we call it medicine, all medicines under the law have to be safety tested against double blind placebo randomized test usually for five years. We can't do that, so we're going to call them something different. We're gonna call them biologics and we're gonna make it so they don't have to be tested at all the industry when it exploded in 1989 took advantage of that loophole and they brought all these new products to market

2:14:36 None of them have been tested. Not one of the 72 vaccines currently on the schedule, mandated for our children has ever been tested against a placebo. That means that nobody can scientifically tell you what the risk profile of that product is. Nobody can tell you that, that product is going to save more lives than it can take with any scientific basis whatsoever and how can we as a society, as a government, as a democratic party

2:15:15 be mandating products for our children when we cannot tell them what the risk is of that product. So why don't you tell your Lib Joe friends about this no placebo study of any vaccine which, and I'm just going to take Kennedy's word for it is the opposite of scientific proof that they're safe? What if I told them that what are they gonna say? They'll say yeah there you go good example being an anti-vaxxer Now the one of course that is in the news, and we know how that works. $25 billion a year is spent on television advertising. I don't mean to be all television but the majority of it television advertising why? Not to tell you that you just need to get this vaccine to live or this drug

CHAPTER 28 / 39 Discussion

MMR Vaccine Safety Testing and DNA Testing Errors

Following a lawsuit against HHS, documents revealed that the MMR vaccine was tested on only 800 children for a period of 42 days. In a separate medical discussion, the hosts share a story of a woman who underwent a double mastectomy based on a false positive DNA test for the BRCA gene. They warn of the dangers of relying on single-source genetic testing for major medical decisions.

mmr vaccine· hhs· dna testing· brca gene· medical errors

2:16:03 No, it's control over the media. Hey shut up or we're taking our money away from you You should be kind to what we're doing here The big one these days is the mumps measles rubella vaccine turns out something very interesting is going on with the MMR vaccine regarding testing The weird thing was there was one vaccine The MMR, the vaccine that all of this hoopla is about It was the only vaccine that has no safety testing listed on its insert. And for many years, Dell and I have been saying, that's weird! Did they not do any? Or what happened? So we sued HHS.

2:16:59 Where is it? Is there any safety testing for the MMRs? Three weeks ago, they gave us the safety testing. There were 800 kids. Normally you have 20,000 kids in one of these types, no 20,000 subjects. There's 808 separate tests for 100 each or a drug that they are gonna give to billions of people. The testing lasted only 42 days 50% of the kids who were involved in that study had astral intestinal illnesses, serious ones. Some of them for the full 42 days and 50% had respiratory illnesses some of them for 42 days this is a product that is worse according to its own records than the illness it's pretending to prevent

2:17:54 I found this to be just mind-blowing. 800 kids, 42 days? That's the extent of testing on the MMR vaccine?! And it didn't work out? What do you mean it didn't work out? It's a bonanza! No, I'm talking about it didn't work out. The testing proved the stuff's not that great Well the kids are getting more sick from the vaccine than you might get from them He has all kinds of other stats about how many people have actually died from measles etc But i just...I'm flabbergasted that is the extent of the testing That he had to sue HHS over it, to even get it because its not listed on the product! On the insert itself. Yeah But of course it has been tested on millions of kids It's just a live test and no one gives a shit what happens to them Yeah too bad I got two more quickies here And of course the government requires you get this thing You gotta take this horrible product This is the whole scene

2:18:53 pressure groups. This is again, this is what I talk about in the newsletter over and over again The corruption of the corporate advertising system And here's the clip about just that The reason they call you anti-vaxxers and me anti-vaxxer Is it's way of shutting us up And that means your Lib Joe's John So they don't have to debate these very very serious issues About vaccine safety So they don't have to debate the science. And they bought off the press! They put $25 billion a year into advertising, we're the only nation in the world other than New Zealand that allows pharmaceutical advertising on television or anywhere and they have been able to hide our press in this country so

2:19:43 So they're not only selling drugs to us, but they are also dictating content. They're telling us now that they are going to censor Facebook Because they don't want to get, they want to get rid of misinformation about vaccines. We're just talking about science. We're giving them peer review! You will never hear peer review from the vaccine proponent What you'll hear is appeals to authority What does that mean? The vaccines are safe because CDC says it's safe because WHO says its safe

2:20:23 There you go. Shut up slave, it's safe! And as I was listening to this again It makes so much sense to me now that Silicon Valley is so deeply entrenched in these DNA companies because that's next Oh boy yeah You have this gene...you should probably get that shot to go with it You know? You don't want to die or grow a lump We had that on a couple of... I had this clip, a couple of shows ago. I don't know if you can find it. Give me a... give me a clue. But it was about this woman who she took...I don't know if I can find it What would you have titled it? Well, It would be uh... That's a good question. Well tell me what is was about. Try woman. Look at the word woman Woman! I never saw anything about... let me see...woman

2:21:19 Okay, man bludgeoned woman Ebola from one woman Woman booked for felony charge Blasting Omar woman. No no I don't think so John okay? Well here's the story she took a Nice clip that play now she took a one of these DNA tests and then she came back with, oh you got that gene that's going to give you breast cancer. The BRCA gene? Yeah, BRCA BCA2 or 1 yes. And by the time your 40 and so she went in and talked to a counselor about it, oh yeah this test is absolutely fine, yeah you get the problem as long as you can do whatever you want but thats what you got. So she had a double mastectomy

2:22:09 And then there was some years later, as I said it right. So she had her breasts removed and then it turned out she had some other gene that she was looking into that had to do with some other sign of lymphoma or something and so she was retested for the DNA saying oh you didn't have that! Oh my god! No, it's not even on here! And the other thing, you know, you don't may or may not have. So there's a whole thing was discussing this with some other women who had these false positives and they said... The guy says to ask her he said what did you asked for a second opinion? He has another test she says I went to the guys that did it just no absolutely! The guys who do the testing absolutely you have this there's nothing that could knew about it and uh.. It was a mistake she made Wow

CHAPTER 29 / 39 Discussion

CDC and FDA Financial Ties to Big Pharma

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claims the FDA receives 75% of its budget from the pharmaceutical industry and that the CDC functions as a vaccine distributor. He alleges that high-level officials within HHS collect up to $150,000 a year in royalties from patents on vaccines like Gardasil. The hosts characterize these regulatory bodies as "appendages to the industry."

cdc· fda· big pharma· royalties· gardasil

2:23:03 And that's the kind of thing that's promoted by Angelina Jolie. Yeah, she's the one who came up with that idea promoted she had the clinic that would redo your breasts all beautiful too it was like a package deal don't die get great boobs damn it another exit strategy missed so that was uh the kind of thing and you're right DNA is going to be in the next batch of ways to scan this basically just besides killing the public with this crap products Which again, like I said they found the live virus in many of these things and too bad! Oh good you got the live virus. That's one way to get it. One other data point here just the last one i got even though we kind of know what he expands on how people who work at CDC and FDA are in on the game In fact he calls these organizations part of the big pharma industry

2:24:00 The FDA, which is supposed to protect us against these products receives 75% of its budget from the industry. The World Health Organization receives 50 percent of its budget from pharma The CDC is a pharmaceutical company. It had about $5 billion dollars a year in sales and buys in vaccines. Individuals within HHS who worked on those vaccines at taxpayer expense, if they worked on them they're allowed to get royalty payments on the vaccine as they work for it so every vial of Gardasil that's sold

2:24:46 There are people within HHS, high level individuals who are collecting $150,000 a year in royalties and HHS NIH owns part of that patent. And it is collecting money every year. So these are not regulatory agencies. These are appendages to the industry." Yep! Aaaaaand you can call me an anti-vaxxer if you want but I'm just looking out for your kids too Now I'm a semi-vaxxer. Well, I'll tell you this Kennedy guy is staying on it. Well and bless his heart, bless him! I pray for his safety there's not a good track record in the family. Speaking truth to power then all of a sudden some bad crap happens to him

2:25:38 So the one thing we could do, if we're looking for something to do is call for a ban of advertising pharmaceuticals. Advertising! Just call for a ban on advertising to consumers so that consumer media is not controlled by huge swathes of money or you know and Adam Schiff? Vote that guy out That guy and I consider what he did not only Well first unscrupulous, but that is You talk about deep platforming and censorship. That is actual censorship the government telling companies to Remove content is censorship And I'm sure he held something over their head oh yeah We can make some rules about you guys so you probably and why? I haven't looked it up But have a pretty good guess that Schiff gets some

2:26:38 get some payments from the, you know not these guys don't put it in their own pocket but so he gets a couple million he can be on committees and you know as for his reelection campaign. Yeah you got to pay to be on the committee So if he really did that and I'll take Kennedy at his word Schiff is lower than whale shit He is a horrible individual Well, I think we've over the years. We've come to that conclusion without that clip What about shift? Yeah, he's a terrible guy yeah But this is actually something that is a real problem That's you know censorship to that degree

Knighting Ceremony and Wedding Gift Donations

A massive wave of donations celebrating Adam Curry's wedding is processed, including several "insta-knights." The hosts discuss the Hebrew concept of "Chai" (18) and its significance in donation amounts. Adam Curry provides his new P.O. Box in Austin, Texas, and John C. Dvorak praises the value of Curry's new home purchase.

Yeah you know I'm gonna read this okay we're going over anyway mystical Jews called Kabbalists believe the letters of the Hebrew alphabet were the building blocks of the universe and assign numerical equivalents called gematria to reveal deeper meaning and connections to understanding the meaning of life. For example, in number 10 is the letter yud, the number eight is the letter ches or chatter and chez-yud spells the word chi C-H-A-I which means living or life therefore in some mystical ways anything that equals 18 has a connection to chi life this can be seen in jewelry as my daughter wears

Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Thomas Jefferson Statues

Mayor Pete Buttigieg expressed support for renaming "Jefferson-Jackson" dinners, citing Thomas Jefferson's ownership of slaves as "problematic." Buttigieg argued that while Jefferson's philosophy is admirable, his personal history warrants a reevaluation of how he is honored in the modern era. The hosts mock the "shallow" nature of the political evolution.

pete buttigieg· thomas jefferson· andrew jackson· indiana· statues

2:52:35 I got a Buddha judge. Mayor Pete of the Hamlet? Mayor Pete, he's all in on us taking down statues and you know Confederate... let's take down Thomas Jefferson and remove him from from a dinner that they have somewhere in Indiana and he's all in on it. I said, hey, I heard this. He says bull crap so I went and got the clip and in fact he did kind of cavalierly say Jefferson was a dick and fell with him. Jefferson Jackson dinners be renamed every where were holders of slaves? Yeah we're doing that in Indiana. I think its the right thing to do you know over time you develop and evolve on the things you choose to honor and I think we know enough especially Jackson

2:53:19 you know, you just look at what basically enough to genocide that happened here. Jefferson's more problematic as there is a lot of course admiring his thinking and philosophy then again if you plunge into his writings especially the notes on the state of Virginia you know that he knew that slavery was wrong yes and yet he did it Oh brother. I'm talking about shallow! I mean really, it's all of these guys all they're doing is this and then you know you got Beto on the view apologizing for everything It's like yeah... It's not really groovy man. I have a clip that kind of harkens back to our show

CHAPTER 33 / 39 Discussion

Leaked OPCW Document on Douma Chemical Attack

A leaked internal document from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) suggests that gas cylinders in the 2018 Douma attack were "manually placed" rather than dropped from aircraft. MIT Professor Theodore Postol suggests the event may have been staged by rebels to provoke US airstrikes. The hosts discuss the lack of mainstream media coverage regarding these conflicting findings.

opcw· douma· syria· chemical weapons· mit

2:54:04 Because we were on this fake chemical, yeah the chemical attacks in Syria that made no sense and then were debunked by various universities and people who knew about them. And also the missiles didn't go... They were too far away from where they supposedly shot from. Every missile attack seemed to be some phony thing set up by the rebels. So now of course if they got into public domain that Syria was was shooting these things and there was a red line, Obama's a jerk for not bombing Syria. Yeah with the white helmets staging stuff is that what you're talking about? Yeah that too! That's part of it So let's listen to the latest report on old chemical weapons comes up again Democracy Now! This all comes as new questions are being raised about an alleged chemical weapons attack in the city of Douma last year The Syrian government was accused of dropping two gas cylinders on the city killing dozens of people

2:54:57 The U.S. and allies responded by carrying out airstrikes, but a newly leaked internal document from the Organization for Prohibition of Chemical Weapons reveals there were conflicting views within the organization as to what happened. The leaked document suggests the cylinders were, quote, manually placed on the ground and were not dropped from the air." This has led some observers to conclude that chemical attack might have been staged by Syrian rebels. MIT professor Theodore Postol responded to the leaked document by stating, quote, as such 35 deaths that were originally attributed to these stage chlorine events cannot be explained and it cannot be ruled out that these people were murdered as part of the staging event. Professor Postel said. Oh well where's the headline news in The New York Times? Wait a minute hold on just back up a little bit though

2:55:46 35 people dead. Who said they were dead? He's actually assumes that, well let's make this really convincing and murder 35 people! I think that's called a conspiracy theory Let's murder 35 people No you just stay... You show a bunch of people holding their breath into what you know They've done this before over there because our media is so stupid That oh yeah look dude there was a guy foaming at the mouth Remember that one? Yeah He's foaming at the mouth, he gets a toothpaste. And so this guy takes it to the next level and okay it has been staged the whole thing is fake even though that is where Trump launched a bunch of missiles if you don't forget that and he went on to national stage. By the way who says they were real? Well we can go to that too or they were aimed where they're supposed to be

2:56:39 I don't even know if they hit anything. I don't know if they launched, what do I know? You show me some... Unless the Chinese embassy was hit they probably didn't launch anything. That's a callback now so this guy takes it next level and actually believes you yes 35 people were killed in this thing because somebody said that This is how bad it's become. A professor who can analyze things, he... Oh 35 dead they must have murdered them! It just beyond me! Not beyond me! All right let me give you a little update finally mainstream is jumping on the bandwagon that you introduced us to several weeks ago

African Swine Fever Epidemic in China

China's pig population is being decimated by African Swine Fever, with estimates suggesting the loss of up to 200 million animals. Pork prices in Beijing are expected to rise by 70%, creating a significant inflation risk for the Chinese government. The hosts note that they reported on this "Piggy Ebola" weeks before mainstream outlets like CNN.

China's pig population, the biggest in the world is being ravaged by the deadly African swine fever a virus for which there is no vaccine It's harmless to humans but ASF is estimated to have killed millions of pigs in China since the outbreak was first detected in August last year Social media shows pig carcasses being dumped in the countryside and video obtained by CNN revealed disturbing scenes of animals being slaughtered driven into pits and buried. The central government says about 1 million pigs have been culled, but some farmers CNN spoke to says the scale of the epidemic could be bigger because it's not being recognized at local level. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, the FAO says Beijing is taking the right steps but it may take years to fully contain the outbreak

2:58:24 A report from a Dutch bank says that China could lose between 150 million and 200 million pigs this year. That's more than one third of its total herd. To put that in context, the US farms a little more than 70 million pigs. It's not just the farmers who are feeling the pain either. This country is not only the world's biggest producer, it is also by far the world's biggest consumer and according to the government's own statistics, the prices of pork at wet markets like this here in Beijing could rise as much as 70% by the end of the year That would mean record high prices for a staple ingredient for 1.4 billion people and the potential big inflation problem for the central government The impact is being felt globally Pork prices at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange are up 20% in the last three months and expected to go higher The price of bacon has already been rising in some countries You heard this on the No Agenda show 3 weeks ago Or longer...

2:59:30 This optimism about the pork prices rising up to 70% I don't believe that. I think it's definitely gonna go higher than that Where is the where is the triple? Hey, what don't they have fake pig meat Yeah Like the fake hamburger meat that the company just went on that IPO'd not that I know of well Why wouldn't they make that Well, because it's crap. Exactly! Where is the saviors? Give the Chinese some of that chemical meat that we're eating here or they were giving bugs can't eat bugs for protein and there you go now you nailed it. You put this replace pork with bugs yeah big roaches what is a good pig replacement when it comes to bug protein

Ben Carson and Public Housing Questioning

HUD Secretary Ben Carson faced aggressive questioning from a congresswoman regarding the living conditions in public housing. The hosts critique the "yes or no" interrogation style used by politicians for television soundbites, comparing it to the tactics of Kamala Harris. They argue this style prevents substantive discussion of complex policy issues.

3:00:27 I have no idea. I don't eat bugs, so i don't know. Just a little side clip here this is an example of what bothers me most about Congress Here's Ben Carson trying to answer questions from some douchebag congresswoman and this is the way it goes There's a missing North Cross A mother and grandmother living in Brighton in my district She's raised her children and now cares for her grandchildren in property with thick mold on the walls. Her son was recently hospitalized, look at the pictures here because of bone tumors in his arm and leg he needs surgery to save and improve his quality of life but he won't get it because a family must have a sanitary stable housing condition first their actual home literally poses a risk of post-op injury and infection. Her question to you is what do they become? When you raise children in these conditions what can they become so yes or no

3:01:18 Do Ms. Norcross and her family deserve to live in these conditions because they are poor? If you've listened to any... Yes or no, do they deserve to live in these conditions because they are poor? You know very well- Would you let your grandmother living public housing? You know very well I agree with all this- Would you let your grandmother living public housing yes or no? You know very well Under your watch and at your helm would you allow your grandmother to live in public housing under these conditions Yeah this is a style that Yeah, it's meant for television and I think Kamala Harris does it quite well. Without actually getting any answers you just bash through your point and then tell the question to shut up! It's like ahh shut up yes or no question! It's not one side of the other either, Republicans and Democrats both do this. They all do it but why don't you go home to your husband young lady and tell him that's a YES OR NO QUESTION?

NASA Artemis Program and Moon Landing Skepticism

NASA has named its new moon program "Artemis," with the goal of landing the first woman on the lunar surface by 2024. The Trump administration is seeking an additional $1.6 billion to accelerate the timeline. John C. Dvorak expresses extreme skepticism, predicting the mission will not happen and noting that many younger generations doubt the original 1969 moon landing.

nasa· artemis· moon landing· jeff bezos· blue origin

3:02:13 See how that works. Yes or no? No, I just say no well They didn't let him they didn't let him but III must say I'm extremely excited It will only be five short years from now when I will be able to rejoice me in the fact that I was right and where the countdown has begun. We like surprises, don't we? Yes! We do like surprises well guess what in a surprise announcement NASA revealed a new name for its moon program Artemis she is a Greek goddess of the moon and twin sister of Apollo well NASA picked the name in hopes of having the first woman land on the Moon by 2024 and now in order to meet that deadline the Trump administration wants Congress

3:03:07 to approve an additional 1.6 billion dollars for NASA on top of its 21 billion dollar budget for next year. Mark Strassman spoke with a man who's responsible for making the moon shot happen. 50 years ago this July, two Americans left the first footprints in lunar dust No other country has matched Apollo's Moonwalkers But five have sent probes and robots, including Israel and China just this year. It's not by accident that so many countries around the world right now are going to the moon And not all of them are going to the moon just to collect rocks it's a strategic imperative that the United States have a presence there as well When Jim Bridenstine became NASA's administrator last year A planned Moon landing was a decade away Ladies and gentlemen

3:03:57 That's just not good enough. But in March, Vice President Mike Pence lit a fire under NASA and its contractors If NASA is not currently capable of landing American astronauts on the moon in five years we need to change the organization Not the mission. We've seen over and over again administrations change, and projects get cancelled with billions of dollars wasted of the taxpayer. And we're going to shorten the time scale, we're gonna make this a reality That starts by accelerating development of NASA's new mega rocket called The Space Launch System or SLS On top would sit NASA's new crew capsule called Orion

3:04:35 Roughly 240,000 miles from Earth Orion eventually would dock with a planned lunar orbiting space station called Gateway. But the Artemis program lacks one key component What's the most significant piece of the budget increase? The landing capability like Lunar landers are difficult to build they take time they take money and we don't- WHAT?! What was that tin can with those spider legs that I saw on the moon? Have that capability. Not yet, but private industry wants that contract This is blue moon Last week billionaire Jeff Bezos introduced Blue Moon his space companies designed for a lunar lander Lockheed Martin also has a design five years to get to the moon How is that not

3:05:22 Fairly intense schedule pressure if somebody says this isn't safe ultimately they have the authority To throw a red flag and say stop it is more important for us that our astronauts be safe I gotta tell you. I'm gonna be so happy when this doesn't happen And noticeably Millennials no Millennials and zoomers Gen Z we call them Zoomers Do not believe in the original moon landing anymore and as and it's it's not that crazy How they come up with this because they see the technology. They see how fast things develop They see what is possible and do not understand that something that took place 50 years ago cannot easily be replicated Especially not because of the cost I mean, it's expensive That's gonna be a great CGI job. It probably take five years just to do it

3:06:18 Where's that guy from Titanic anyway? James Cameron. What is he doing? Probably working on it now I think it's great Already started That's what I'm saying He's already working on the sets and the green screen Give me a break I am ready for it And if I am wrong, I am wrong If I am wrong, I am wrong It's fine But you are wrong I don't think so We'll find out won't we You think were gonna go to moon again Well, I don't think we're going to do half the crap that they're promising. There's just a lot of talk and no action. So one thing we didn't talk about was still bubbling near the surface with meetings and all kinds of things with Pelosi is impeachment. Oh gee! I'm getting killed with that 24-7 on the news media let's talk about it here

CHAPTER 37 / 39 Discussion

Al Green and the Push for Impeachment

Representative Al Green continues his push for the impeachment of Donald Trump, citing "bigotry" as a primary offense. Green references the 2017 Charlottesville protests and the separation of families at the border as evidence of impeachable conduct. The hosts discuss the persistence of the "fine people" narrative despite transcripts showing Trump condemned neo-Nazis.

3:07:15 So let's start with the guy who is the first guy who asked for impeachment right away. In fact, he asked for it the day he was put in office Al Green The man with a... I've never seen such a hairy guy in my life That guy has hair under his eyes and just good facial hair He's a hairy guy Check him out! He's hairy Let's listen to what he has to say on The Democracy Now Show which is the only one that will take him seriously By the way this kind of racist What you said? About his hair. Yeah, he's a hairy guy you know He is a hairy guy! Yeah that would be racist because he's black and he's chimpanzee come on I'm just playing There are guys there are white guys like that

3:07:55 Harry, they got hairy butts. I mean it's disgusting So the stakes are very high Congressmember Greene right before all right after you talk to us The House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is holding a meeting with the Democrats as you push for her To open an inquiry into impeachment Why are you calling for this and why have you done this for the last two years? Thank you for having me, Ms. Goodman and Mr. Gonzalez I'm here because i love my country And I have called for impeachment because I love my country Okay Alright Well that's pretty interesting He loves his country so he... You must impeach Yes Doesn't rhyme Yes

3:08:38 It's a reach you must impeach. There has got to be some rhyming figures that can come up with it. I gotcha, I gotcha! Al Green on Democracy Now 2 now here are the reasons to impeach And what do you consider to be the key impeachable offenses that the president has committed? The impeachable offenses are many. The Mueller report gives us a good deal of obstruction of justice that has been committed by the president, we can act on the obstruction of justice but I also have contended and still contend that the president has infused his bigotry into policy. I think this is impeachable as well I have indelibly imprinted in my brain that baby standing at the border crying while she is being separated from parents. This is not what a great country does! We cannot allow president to talk about African countries as whole countries and then engage in the process of developing an immigration plan. We can't have a president who's going to say that they're very fine people among the biggest, the racist, xenophobes or homophobes

3:09:37 Who were in Charlottesville where a woman lost her life protesting against bigotry and do nothing about it His bigotry is worthy of his being impeached I'd like to shout out to Scott Adams for there goes the mention as Charlottesville again the middle of Charlotte's course, of course the lie and so fine people lie the fine people lie. Yeah, I want to congratulate you John on something unrelated but you really nailed it! You said that the new term for climate change was climate crisis? Yeah with climate emergency as a backup and maybe three days later The Guardian in the UK came out with their new

The Guardian's New Climate Language Style Guide

The Guardian has updated its style guide to replace "climate change" with "climate emergency, crisis, or breakdown." Other changes include using "global heating" instead of "global warming" and "climate denier" instead of "skeptic." The hosts argue these changes are linguistic and political rather than "scientifically precise," as the publication claims.

the guardian· climate emergency· global heating· style guide· linguistics

3:10:24 Style guide? Yeah, it's funny. I'll read it actually then I do believe this is...I do believe! I believe this is factual. Catherine Viner editor-in-chief Guardian News and Media We've recently been reviewing the language we use in our coverage of the environment and whether the terms we use accurately reflect The phenomenon they describe. We want to ensure that we are being scientifically precise And rooted in facts remember this scientifically precise bit While also communicating clearly with readers on this very important issue, the phrase climate change for example sounds rather passive and gentle when what scientists are talking about is a catastrophe for humanity. Increasingly client science climate scientists and organizations from the UN to the Met Office are changing their terminology And using stronger language to describe this situation

3:11:16 Therefore, we would like to change the terms that we use as follows. Use climate emergency crisis or breakdown instead of climate change. Use global heating instead of global warming Use wildlife instead of biodiversity, when appropriate. Use fish populations instead of fish stocks. Use climate science denier or climate denier instead of climate skeptic The original terms are not banned but do think twice before using them If you think a specific term is needed to help people find your story online then please check with the audience team

3:12:00 Hey, we need an audience team. Hi I'm chief audience team The updates will appear in the style guide from today Please do let me know if you have any further questions Yes How is global heating more scientific than global warming or how scientifically accurate is? Emergency crisis or breakdown versus change Is that scientific or is that linguistic Found this to be in points I found this to be a fabulous and especially because you nailed it. You called it you nailed it Well, I caught it early is what I did which is what we do on this show We catch things as early as we can It's always a shocker to me when something sneaks by which is let's leave on this high note Okay, leave on that take the trophy and go home

Canada is warming up twice as fast as the rest of the world As the Arab Spring uprisings took hold across the Middle East and North Africa millions of people fled their homes Researchers claim to have identified evidence of a causal link between those conflicts and changes to the climate.
