About this episode

President Trump sparked a diplomatic row with Denmark after Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen rejected his proposal to purchase Greenland as absurd. The tension coincides with U.S. efforts to block the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, suggesting the real estate offer serves as a geopolitical lever against Russian energy dominance in Europe. Environmental concerns also loom over the territory as melting ice sheets threaten to expose Cold War-era nuclear waste at the abandoned Camp Century site.

Microsoft founder Bill Gates faces renewed scrutiny following revelations of his travel on Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, while Boris Nikolic declined a role as executor of the financier’s will. At MIT, Media Lab director Joi Ito issued a public apology for accepting Epstein’s donations, a scandal that has already forced the resignation of several prominent researchers. Meanwhile, a mysterious explosion at a Russian naval facility killed five scientists during a test of the Burevestnik nuclear-powered cruise missile, leading to a spike in regional radiation levels and the silencing of international monitoring stations.

Austin Homelessness Crisis, Mayor Steve Adler Policy Proposal

Austin city leaders are facing backlash after a unanimous vote to allow public camping and panhandling resulted in a perceived public safety risk. Mayor Steve Adler issued a six-page proposal focused on housing options and "non-policing tools," though critics argue the plan ignores mental health and substance abuse issues. One host plans to visit the Community First Village on September 9th to investigate alternative solutions to the crisis.

00:00 Why are you like him? This is no good! Now available in streaming stereo and broadcasting live from the Opportunity Zone 33 in Austin, Texas. Capital of the drone star state! In the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's surprisingly balmy today I'm John C. DeVore It's Crackpot & Buzzkill In The Morning Balmy? Baaaaalmmy Really now? Hmm

00:38 It's not supposed to be balmy there. That's probably just a cloud of steaming poop! It could be... And will you please stop tweeting that we- What did I do? You keep tweeting, send people, send the homeless to Austin Oh i'm doing them a favor No stay- you've gotta- and Austin too because let's face it no Austin is opening its arms why are you such a grumpy Gus It's opening its arms to the poor homeless and they welcome them. So I'm just trying to get the word out We do not want your homeless, and by the way that you come here and you'll bake on the street You! Hey there's a glimmer of hope in Austin

01:26 You know, a slight glimmer of hope. If you live in Texas and you're anywhere but Austin someone says hey where are you from? And you say I'm from Texas they say yeah we're in Texas. You say Austin they'll say that's not Texas! That's exactly what they say but I think the liberal Austin local government mayor and city council I think that they're just not as, when we say liberal they're not like California liberals. They understand and maybe it's not even them maybe its the people of Austin they are revolting against what is going on here you recall several weeks ago

02:13 The council voted unanimously, I believe to remove all city ordinances of camping where you except for of course in front of City Hall or the Capitol building but you can pretty much camp anywhere else not in a city park but anywhere else you want to on the median on the right side of the road. You can do whatever you want. You can panhandle in front of bus stop school grounds anywhere you want Freedom, man! Freedom. Actually that was 50 days ago... it's longer than I thought But now, things have changed. Two months after voting to allow sitting lying and camping in public places City leaders are tweaking the rules No one wants anybody camping anywhere in our city Today Mayor Steve Adler and council members sent out a six-page proposal aimed to solve problems of people experiencing homelessness in the city I've lived in Austin my whole life And my beautiful city is a mess

03:17 Is that Elizabeth Warren? It's funny you say that. I heard this the second time I played it and does sound like her, doesn't it but no it's not My whole life and my beautiful city is a mess And I hate it. Kim von Sirmulin is one of hundreds of outspoken Austinites asking council to change the sit-lie camp ordinance She says it's caused a public safety risk and health hazard Where is that people should not be camping in sitting and lying? In the report, Mayor Adler answers those questions proposing increased restrictions on people who camp adjacent to roadways or medians

03:54 on sidewalks, near creeks or in front of the arch. He also suggests a renewed focus on creating new housing options but says the changes won't be possible without community input and support. Are we really ready to do what it takes to actually solve this problem? This guy gets my goat! You know, all he ever says are we already to solve the problem? Do we do can we come together? Can we fuck you Adler go do something. Oh this guy is so annoying. The can we all come to get your supposed to lead dipshit won't be possible without community input and support Are we really ready to do what it takes

04:37 to actually solve this problem rather than just chasing it around the city and hiding it. And in the next couple weeks, City Council is expecting more concrete proposals on changing this ordinance also tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock there will be a public town hall right here at The Austin Convention Center It's open to the public. It's your chance to ask city leaders questions directly about this homelessness issue So I look at this six-page proposal, and they're clueless. Outline... Proposed principle and goals. This is annoying! What is this you playing in the background? Uh what are you hearing? I'm not hearing anything Oh it must be on my machine. I'm not playing any of it. Look how it's playing! Oh no do we need to stop tape are you okay? No I'm good I stopped it

05:29 I thought it was you, i thought you were just playing a little bed for some reason. Oh yeah. Just to kind of liven things up. Hey everybody! It's the morning zoo here let me hit a little drama bed there yeah Proposed principles and goals, proposed community agreement direction. Our community needs multiple housing types and services for individuals experiencing homelessness Next bullet point We know what works Yeah I call bullshit on that! No you don't You have no clue what works Oh here it is New programs, expansions And increased housing capacity on the horizon Possible places from among which to increase restrictions On camping sitting and lying

06:05 Ordinance standards, interpretations and applications. Rules regarding camping where it occurs as we build up more housing and services Non-policing tools to encourage people to go to better and safer places This whole six page document has nothing about mental health Nothing about substance abuse or addiction Until the very very very bottom under those non policing tools Help people get assistance for to the bullet point one sobering center, mental health assistance shelter slash bridge home navigation Center and community court. And everything else is about appropriating apartment buildings or old hotels if to turn into affordable housing this is not going to work

07:02 Oh my. So what's your solution, Mr.? Well there is one... I talked about this that there's one solution that seems to be working that's the Community First Village September 9th. I'm going to go over there gonna see what they're doing and i shall report back and maybe I'll do an interview with the CEO who's running it. This was recently featured in People Magazine has gotten a lot of attention as something that seems to be working But, jeez. They have nothing here! Just nothing... We've got a new idea here in San Francisco Nooo! Nooo! Not shipping him to Austin Besides that, that's a standing offer Gee thanks

CHAPTER 02 / 36 Discussion

San Francisco Criminal Justice Terminology, Person-First Language Shift

San Francisco officials have introduced new person-first terminology to describe individuals involved in the legal system. Convicted felons are now referred to as "justice-involved persons" or "returning residents," while juvenile delinquents are called "young people impacted by the justice system." The shift aims to prevent lifelong labeling of individuals based on past criminal actions or substance abuse history.

san francisco· criminal justice· language· substance abuse· homelessness

07:51 No, we're gonna just redefine everybody. Oh yeah I read something about this oh yeah what you got? Well let me read some of the stuff...I don't have any clips but according to San Francisco Chronicle from now on a convicted felon or other offender released from custody will be known as former incarcerated person. This is fantastic! Or justice involved person Or just, and they prefer this a returning resident. No! They're really going to use that? Returning resident of justice? That would be even better. Just the returning residents. Oh my goodness. A juvenile delinquent will now called a young person with the Justice System involvement or a young person impacted by the Justice Juvenile system

08:45 A young person impacted by the juvenile justice system who is experiencing homelessness and just happens to be gay. And drug addicts are now substance abusers, which we've been using for a while. Meanwhile will become... Oh actually they're changing that whole thing to a person with a history of substance abuse. Nice! Somebody was quoted one of these supervisors was that we don't want people to be forever labeled for the worst things they've ever done. So we just give them labels? So, you give new labels. Just give him a new label! A New Yellow Star. Good work everybody thanks! That's nuts yeah... Be nice. Yeah it's hard to be nice I went to dinner with my Jamaican friend and he smoked the ganja?! He smokes the ganja but he don't eat the meat

09:47 So he's a pescatarian, and I'd selected this cool restaurant on the east side that's a butcher shop. He was like, uh don't you remember? And I'm like oh crap yeah alright so we selected the corner bar at the JW Marriott which is actually kind of nice location but you gotta go into town. So in town and I walked three blocks up in three blocks over three blocks down near Congress it's gotten worse. Oh! Yes Since we've left, I see congregations now. It used to be you know one or two homeless people...I'm sorry people experiencing homelessness in a doorway or on the part on a bench but now there's four five of them sitting together with lawn chairs and no tents out yet and then just like in Chicago or San Francisco on Congress like the corner of second and Congress or third and Congresses is people just sleeping on the corner

10:46 I don't understand how people can just step over it. It bothers the crap out of me, as you can tell! To step over them? Yeah, I find that very challenging...I mean it's better than jumping on them but y'know... You understand my dilemma?! It's not cool. Not cool Anyway keep everybody updated We were right on a lot of things or ahead of the curve on a lot of things that have been taking place Over the past couple days Sure Well, it's always astonishing to me how sometimes how far ahead of the curve we are but this one... Sometimes where too far ahead of the curve has become as problematic. A story of my life! This is absolutely true I should be a billionaire but i'm always 10 years too early with everything So I had the interview with...I talked to Pachanik

CHAPTER 03 / 36 Discussion

Bill Gates Jeffrey Epstein Connection, Boris Nikolic Will Execution

Microsoft founder Bill Gates is under scrutiny for his past association with Jeffrey Epstein, including flights on Epstein's private Gulfstream jet to Palm Beach in 2013. Boris Nikolic, a former science advisor to Gates, was named as an executor in Epstein's $577 million will but has declined the role. Attorney General Bill Barr maintains that while irregularities occurred at the jail, the medical examiner's suicide ruling remains the official finding.

bill gates· jeffrey epstein· boris nikolic· bill barr· philanthropy

11:44 And who did he say would be on deck to be exposed in the Epstein scandal? Do you recall? No. Bill Gates. Part of the baffling history of Jeffrey Epstein is how he was somehow able to surround himself with some of the world's most powerful people even after he pled guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute and became a registered sex offender for example Prince Andrew was photographed coming out at Epstein's Manhattan mansion in 2010 two years after Epstein served jail time, and now we're learning Microsoft founder Bill Gates not only spoke with Epstein on more than one occasion about philanthropic spending but also flew on Epstein's private plane from New York to Palm Beach though Gates reportedly refuses to say why and we should note the plane was not the so-called Lolita Express which allegedly was used

12:32 to fly underage girls to Epstein's private island. But still critics wonder why one of the world's richest men would need to take philanthropic advice from a convicted sex offender, especially considering what Melinda Gates and the couple's foundation does for young women around the world. Separately, a former science advisor for Bill Gates was named as one of three executors of jeffrey epstein's five hundred seventy seven million dollar will forty nine-year-old boris the colic says he was shocked to learn that epstein named him and says he has no intention of fulfilling the duties meantime attorney general bill barr gave an impromptu news conference today where he maintains that there were numerous irregularities in the death of jeffrey epstein but

13:16 Barr says so far he has been given no reason to question the findings of the medical examiner who ruled Epstein's death a suicide, though Barr says the investigation is moving forward. There you go Billy boy! And this is... That's guilt by association again Yes but I'm... If he went to the island I'd be more suspicious All I'm saying is this is what Pachanick predicted He said Bill Gates has a problem and says he took a known a known sex offender of girls with him to the girl's charity he and Belinda Melinda

13:54 maintained. So yeah, it's... Was this after he was convicted of a sex crime? Yes 2013! This happened all in 2013 2014 2015 that's the part that's problematic. Okay well that is a problem yes now how about I should be untouchable after that you shouldn't be dealing with him no of course not and it wasn't and that wasn't on the Lolita Express to the island but it was the Palm Beach where Gates also has a house And it was on the Gulfstream, not the 727. Anyway! It just found that interesting... Now more interesting to me and perhaps to you because this is a guy I've met couple times, I'm sure you have Joey Ito

CHAPTER 04 / 36 Discussion

MIT Media Lab Epstein Scandal, Joi Ito Resignation

Joi Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab, issued a public apology for accepting research funds from Jeffrey Epstein, leading to the resignation of several scientists. The scandal has also brought renewed attention to late AI pioneer Marvin Minsky, who was named in related legal documents. An anecdote describes a past encounter where Minsky had a host removed from a Media Lab tour involving Hearst Corporation executives.

mit media lab· joi ito· jeffrey epstein· marvin minsky· will hurst

14:39 Do you know, have you ever met him? I know Joey yeah quite well. Well... That's Joey Okay well good he posted a public apology He is now the director of the MIT Media Lab Yeah he is always...yeah Yeah I mean I met him with who was the French guy who ran...Gosset the French guy that ran Apple Yeah, John Louis. I was raising money for Pod Show and we had a meeting with him and Ito sat in on it. I had a meeting with John Louis Gasset during the same era for a friend of mine and somebody else who I know very well said why did you have a meeting with him? He gave us a bunch of tips

15:21 He says, you know he has zero money in that whole operation. I said no i didn't know that. When I saw Ito I'm like if we're not when I saw Ito I'm like I'm in the wrong room this is this is not where gonna get money so he had posted a public apology for taking money from Epstein for research projects at MIT and for his personal funds, two scientists have now resigned or are... have publicly announced they're leaving the Media Lab. They may not leave MIT but want to leave the Media Lab because they find it untenable so I think that they probably- Well don't forget one of the

16:05 One of the guys in the papers, 2000 word... 2000 page document. 2000 plus pages is Marvin Minsky big shot at the Media Lab major guy I remember running into him. In fact he personally threw me out of a meeting. Do tell! We need to hear this. Tell us first who Marvin Minsky is and then how you got kicked out of the meeting? One of the famous artificial intelligence guys from the 80s, the first go-round and maybe even to one before. Every 30 years or so this artificial AI... Didn't he kind of write a book on Artificial Intelligence? He wrote A book! At least he published it

16:54 Well, you got me on that. So I got invited as a lark by Will Hurst to go into the media lab with the executives of the Hurst Corporation who were getting a tour where he didn't have to sign in non-disclosure and I was like, Hurst and I were just wondering we're kind of just wandering... We're just in the group there's about one two three four five maybe eight nine people and including the CEO, and Randy Hurst, and all these other people. And we're going through this thing, and we get to see the dog-and-pony show that they put on which is where I found out a number of interesting things that I used later in certain columns because I could. I didn't have to worry about being non disclosed on any of it. So we're going from meeting to meeting with these guys who are just full of crap showing us everything in the place got great tour

17:51 Rival comments to make and so we go into this final meeting and there's Minsky in there with the guys ahead at that time whose name is deluding me involved with Wired Magazine. And Minsky sees me, he knows who I am. And he says what's this guy doing here? What's Dvorak doing here?! Pretty much! This guy... and everybody is looking left and right now sitting there with a stupid smile on my face. They asked me to leave Yeah, yeah. So Will actually left with me the two of us left Oh that's cool at least he was showing some solidarity from what I could tell and so we left it was at the end anyway so who cares and we went out did something in Boston somewhere And then as you left like shh thats the mouse guy well screw those guys

18:49 Guilty by association I say. Well there's a lot of that going around apparently with MIT Media Lab. Oh, wait wait wait whoa stop what do you mean there is a lot of that going around at the MIT Media Lab guilty by association? What do you mean? Your report! You got Joey Ito's The Media Lab, you got two scientist quits at the media lab, you've got Minsky's The Media Lab. Yeah it's a lot of media lab guys seems to me yeah well One of the theories, this may be an amazing poly theory. One of these one of the theories is that Epstein... Connected dots people! Yeah man well Epstein was into transhumanism and all this weird stuff and implanting things and hybrids I heard he was really big into implanting yeah we got it the first time. And um hey-oh

CHAPTER 06 / 36 Discussion

Nord Stream 2 Pipeline, Denmark Greenland Geopolitics

The Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project faces potential delays of eight months due to permit hurdles in Denmark. This geopolitical friction provides context for President Trump's recent interest in purchasing Greenland, as the U.S. seeks to compete with Russian natural gas exports to Europe. By creating a diplomatic ruckus with Denmark, the U.S. may be attempting to pressure the country regarding the Russian-led energy project.

nord stream 2· denmark· greenland· natural gas· donald trump· russia

23:35 I will say something else when it comes to things that we've been out ahead of, and this comes back to pipelines. I don't remember exactly which episode it was when we discovered how important pipelines are to the geopolitical state of the world. And, of course this was when a lot of pipelines were being built, we were discovering the old ones things were changing Ukraine was changing Russia was changing uh...the stance towards Russia It quieted down little bit then we had the big Leviathan field which we'd known about for at least eight years and that started pumping so we've tracked that

24:12 We've been tracking the Nord Stream 2, which is a secondary route from Russia that is intended to pump just a whole lot of natural gas into Europe. Which once again will go through Ukraine but it goes along the coast of several countries and it kind of came into view what has been going on the past week when I read this report from Reuters that the Nord Stream 2 Russian-led gas pipeline project across the Baltic Sea to Europe could be delayed by up to eight months and cost an extra 660 million euros due to hurdles in securing the necessary permits from one particular country. And this is the last country that has to sign off on these permits, and they've been wishy washy about it for a while

25:11 And that may make sense, that we had someone come out of the woodwork to perhaps delay their decision a little bit longer because this is Denmark. So now you can understand why Trump was going to Denmark and now you can kind of understand why he wanted to make a big deal about Greenland owned by Denmark Because they are in direct competition to the natural gas we are now exporting. This pipeline, in particular is in competition to the gambit that we have running which is more expensive of course for Europe but we're going to be the net exporter of natural gas

25:55 And maybe you want to cause a ruckus around Denmark and then if they decide that they are going to approve the Nord Stream 2 in their territorial waters, maybe you could then call them out as Russian stooges or something. Or enemy of NATO! I think that may have been the play all along. It's a good theory...I think he actually wants Greenland. What is that? We did get a boots on the ground report from one of our producers which I don't mind sharing, from Wouter. He says for the Danish government... Oh he feels it is indeed absurd and he agrees with the new prime minister's assertion of Trumps offer

CHAPTER 07 / 36 Discussion

Danish Sovereignty History, Trump Nasty Woman Comment

Danish citizens and officials have reacted with disbelief to President Trump's proposal to buy Greenland, noting that UN rules require the approval of Greenlanders. Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen called the idea "absurd," leading Trump to describe her comments as "nasty." Historical context is provided regarding Denmark's past territorial losses to Sweden, Norway, and Germany, as well as the 1917 sale of the Virgin Islands to the U.S.

denmark· greenland· mette frederiksen· donald trump· vikings

26:44 And he has the following points. One, for the Danish government cannot sell any part of Greenland without the approval of the Greenlanders I think we knew that This is determined by UN rules passed after World War II So why ask Denmark? He should have made an offer to Greenland directly and let them negotiate with a Danish government Well again...again..I think my theory works here because it's not about Greenland per se and maybe about stopping the Russians, you know with the final link in the chain. Two, The Danes are very sensitive about every square meter of what is left of the realm of Denmark this is some good history here. Denmark lost a southern part to Sweden in 1660, a piece to Norway in 1814 and the northern part of Germany which also used to be theirs they lost that in 1864 which they didn't even manage get back after World War One on top of that They sold of course St John

27:32 St. John and St. Croix in the Caribbean in 1970 to us for 25 million, and thirdly Denmark may be small and relatively insignificant in the greater scheme of things but they're not stupid! There's a great potential in Greenland and they will never just sell because of short-term perspective. The political leader of Greenland, Kim Nielsen probably had the best response saying he could be interested in buying the USA! Because quote it was the Vikings, Leaf the Happy who discovered America and his father Eric the Red who discovered Greenland and stayed there therefore is only logical that we get the USA back again He has not yet decided on the price, but expects it to be quite low taking the deficit of the USA into account. And if Trump will part of the deal... If he is then the offer will be lower." All right well I love having producers everywhere in the world! I'm sure that's exactly how everybody feels

28:27 Well, the point is that they have already sold us something in the past. Yes. St Croix and some of the things else. St John and St Jan. And so it's not outside the realm of possibility and it has been done… I mean Truman asked to buy Greenland after World War II was rebuffed. Yeah. Somebody in 1800s made the offer. So it's not completely nuts, it's not absurd. Which you know is the point. Well but here's what bothered me so she said this is absurd now its not absurd but his response is she's a nasty woman which I can only... He never said that he never says she's a nasty woman Oh what did he say?

29:13 He says it's nasty. You use the word nasty referring to her comment, but he never said she I don't believe unless somebody can show me a quote. Well that explains it because I thought he said nasty woman and I went looking for some connection between this new prime minister and Hillary maybe was making that connection maybe I just misheard it but his response was Well, you know if you're just gonna respond like that then screw you. You're not nice I mean what is that about? It's only it...I'm telling ya think the Russian pipeline thing is what its number one or thats his That's where he's gonna use now. That's why didn't go to Greenland. This is why didn't ask them this all about Denmark Let's play couple of Greenland clips

Greenland Climate Crisis, Cold War Nuclear Waste

Greenland's ice sheet experienced a record-breaking melt in July, losing 197 billion tons of ice. Experts warn that receding ice could expose toxic nuclear waste left at secret U.S. military sites, such as Camp Century, during the Cold War. The environmental impact includes rising sea levels and the potential release of ancient bacteria and methane trapped beneath the glaciers.

greenland· climate change· nuclear waste· camp century· ice melt

29:59 We got one from Democracy Now! Greenland. On Sunday, Trump confirmed to reporters his interest in purchasing the autonomous Danish territory and did not rule out trading a U.S. territory for the island. Trump said essentially it's a large real estate deal Danish politicians across the political spectrum expressed disbelief over Trump's sudden cancellation of the state visit. The Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen called his idea to purchase Greenland absurd she also told reporters thankfully the time where you buy and sell other countries and populations is over actually I had an idea why don't we sell California to Greenland

30:49 And the commute's too far. No, then you can put all your homeless on a bus. Oh no! Austin... They're with open arms. Yeah Greenland they people up there that freeze to death let's listen to number two There's a bit of new information in clip 2 On Monday Trump tweeted a photo of shiny gold Trump skyscraper photoshopped onto an image of a green land town and wrote I promise not to do this to Greenland Trump is said to be interested in Greenland's abundant natural resources and geopolitical importance, but the island is also at the center of the climate crisis. Earlier this month, Greenland's ice sheet experienced its largest single-day melt in history—in July, the hottest month ever recorded.

31:35 Greenland's ice sheet lost 197 billion tons of ice, the equivalent of around 80 million Olympic swimming pools. Experts say in addition to rising sea levels around the world, the receding ice could expose toxic nuclear waste left at U.S. military sites during the Cold War. John, John, John! Look out your window quick! The mudflats... They're still there and not a thing has changed. So there is a little tidbit at the end Well, we dump in nuclear waste? Yes. Well that's not exactly true but in 19... Well it was what she said Yeah That's well I actually got this on noagendasocial.com Some guy is like... That's exactly what he sounded like

32:23 Yeah, like I said. And we had a secondary base there and we did have some so-called secret nuclear testing So i don't know anything about the secret nuclear testing but apparently There was...there is waste and other toxic shit from just having a base there and then Alameda and they just let it all snow under Because it was hard to keep it clear anyway, and then they abandoned it so its just hidden under this layer of... I don't know. Ice that's now melting and is going to expose that! And the woolly mammoth! And bacteria, the smallpox, the black death we haven't seen since 1918 All that's gonna come when the ice melts

Russian Nuclear Missile Explosion, Burevestnik Engine Test

A mysterious explosion at a Russian missile testing site killed five nuclear scientists during the test of a nuclear-powered cruise missile engine. Following the accident, several radiation monitoring stations went silent, leading to international concerns about a radiation plume spreading across Russia. President Putin claims the weapon can evade American defenses, while the Kremlin has told international watchdogs to stay out of the investigation.

russia· vladimir putin· nuclear missile· radiation· bill neely

33:08 Surely you know about this science man, science. Science man! Not to mention the amount of methane that has been accumulated by the ice somehow Yeah it's from the woolly mammoth farts yeah just sticks in that ice for some reason well on the topic of this uh... nuclear waste so there was a explosion and nuke went off in Russia It hasn't been reported as much as it could be. A little bit, I mean it was all kind of the same like from what I remember the Russians said oh don't worry and then they said maybe we should leave and come on back and its okay...it was very unclear Well I have a clip from NBC that kinda explains it not completely but is no really a nuke terror testing and I thought it was interesting because we've done this in the past I think in the 50's or 60's there were some Oh wait an anti-gravity weapon?

34:09 Well, maybe but that wasn't what happened. Oh nuclear engines oh New nuclear jet engines nice and they work Because we've tested them but their problem is are very dangerous You have to have a really long garden hose for the water turbine I hear But they go you know like It seems as though if you get one going, you can fly it around the globe two or three times. They just keep going and going and flying and flying so you could have these things just flying all constantly. Oh yeah because- And the fear of course is that if you shoot one down, it becomes a bomb. It keeps flying on the ground. Boom! It blows up. Yeah.

34:56 This kind of what happened this thing blew up, and I don't know what's gonna What's an avenue with this program? But they kind of explained it here And on another global front tonight Russia is facing new questions over the recent explosion at a missile Testing site after telling a nuclear monitoring group to stay out of it we get more from NBC's Bill Neely A growing mystery tonight about exactly what happened days after a nuclear explosion that killed five Russian nuclear scientists. At least four radiation monitoring stations nearby went silent and stopped transmitting data Russia told an international nuclear watchdog today, mind your own business. Russia admitted radiation levels did spike briefly after the accident which was tied to the testing of a nuclear missile engine President Putin said yesterday there is no threat no risk have increased radiation but the Kremlin is also furious An international nuclear watchdog tweeted this map over potential radiation plume spreading across Russia

35:58 Russia. The Kremlin calls that absurd, warning the watchdog to back off claiming it can withhold any data. Nuclear experts say Russia's real aim is to hide secrets about this a nuclear-powered cruise missile the President Putin boasts could evade American defenses. Concealing from the u.s.. Exact data on its nuclear fuel two of the Russian radiation monitoring stations are now working again But Russia has proved once again that when it comes to its national security It will hide what the world might want to know I don't know man We got Russia with the nuclear engines we got France with the hoverboard and

36:41 We don't have any cool shit anymore. No, I dropped the ball yeah, Tesla They got troops on hoverboards they got nuclear engines we got Tesla well Thanks Obama I Don't know I think I remember spending seven hundred and sixty billion dollars last year what are we doing with it? Oh It's just boondoggles. Yeah, it was annoying meetings the president finally caught up on his no agenda episodes It's about time well You know it says a lot of people always talking to him so he can't always get some time to himself and this was Three days ago a tweet Wow report just out

Google Search Bias, Robert Epstein Election Research

President Trump cited research by Dr. Robert Epstein claiming Google manipulated millions of votes in favor of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 election. Epstein's study suggests that search engine bias can sway undecided voters, though critics and media outlets like CNN have labeled the claims as unsubstantiated conspiracy theories. Epstein recently posted a "not suicidal" message on social media, referencing the "Clinton body count" meme.

google· robert epstein· hillary clinton· search bias· 2016 election

37:29 Google manipulated from 2.6 million to 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 election! This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump supporter! Google should be sued! My victory was even bigger than thought!" So thanks we uh... We did a quite detailed dive on this research and the guy got into a beef after this thing, the Elliot guy or wherever his last name is. Epstein? Yeah Robert Epstein. He with Hillary because Hillary says ah it's part of a debunked study let me read it

38:07 The debunk study you're referring to was based on 21 undecided voters. For context, that's about half the number of people associated with your campaign who have been indicted." So I knew that this was the messaging that went out immediately and this...I just flipped to CNN Actually was on MSNBC. They didn't have the story yet, flipped to CNN and yes sir! And there's another conspiracy theory Jeffrey that he is onto He took to Twitter today to accuse Google of manipulating votes 16 million votes for Hillary Clinton in 2016 election. This was put out by a Clinton supporter, not a Trump supporter Google should be sued my victory was even bigger than thought yeah in a day of wackadoodle claims this is the most wackadoodle of all and John we went through this research

39:02 And, you know this 21 undecided voters. Yes and I'll talk about that in a second but there was thousands of pages and people underneath all that research which flowed up until this final test so yeah I thought the research was pretty solid and has been published, and replicated. The guy's been put in there as a it's a definitive work. It is very important because there's not even any claim that Google manipulated votes this note that they didn't go in there and change votes no one claims that except Donald Trump the idea see what he's doing

39:43 What the hell is he talking about? He's trying to make it... Now, first of all Trump was wrong. He says Google manipulated from 2.6 million votes for Hillary. That is a very poor way of stating what happened. What happens is their bias in their system or bias within the people we don't know put more Hillary favorite links at the top two positions So and that swayed the 2.6 to 16 million according to Robert Epstein's research into voting for Hillary they were indeed undecided But it was very important, and the research is very conclusive And has been replicated but this Jamoche so first of the first woman says oh this a little bit debunker

40:33 And then Toobin comes in, he's saying well they didn't go in and manipulate votes. What he is implying here is that they did not go into the voting machines and manipulate them That's literally what he is implying, which is such a douche move. Votes! They didn't go in there and change votes no one claims that except Donald Trump The idea is that searches were ranked in certain ways that help Democrats rather than Republicans This too has been long discredited but it's all part of this incredible nervousness about his political standing. No one, they're just saying it! How are you saying it's long discredited by whom? By Slate Magazine. Specifically who discredited him that's what I'd ask if I was sitting there and asked Toobin who is just a stooge I say Toobin, WHO discredited him? Sources man! Is there one report you can show me? Studies and sources okay shut up. I was wrong about 2016 I don't know if he's gonna win or lose in 2020

41:35 But what today's spate of craziness tells us is that he's really worried about losing. That's the real message, not any of the substance. Now listen to the final woman on the panel. You're nodding here Sabrina Well look I think there is no coincidence that he picked out this 2.6 million number from the range that was provided in this unsubstantiated conspiracy theory because Unsubstantiated Conspiracy Theory! Unsubstantiated! This is election TV. This is very terrible, I mean not only that but it's so... It's a disservice to the public! They are misleading the public. ...six million number from the range that was provided in this unsubstantiated conspiracy theory because that's also very close uh to the margin by which Hillary Clinton won the national popular vote and we've seen the president on multiple occasions throw out

42:37 Again, conspiracy theories that votes were nearly three million votes were stolen from him in the 2016 election because then that helps him push back against the notion that Hillary Clinton in fact won the popular vote which is a big sore of sticking point for the president. So Robert Epstein actually posted a very long thread regarding this and his battle even included a picture of him and Hillary because And he's very disappointed with with Hillary Clinton And he even pulls out WikiLeaks emails to show how Google's Eric Schmidt offered to run Hillary's tech campaign. Of course, he funded the Groundwork which was this little tech company whose only purpose was to put Clinton in the White House and after all that last night I saw late he posted a picture

43:34 of a beach and written in the sand was, I love life. And he posted, I'm not going to kill myself! I don't want to die! I am very happy with everything. I guess the Clinton body count got to him. Well if you looked at his thread and response to it 90% of the responses related to be careful or your gonna get killed I mean, it's not that meme is great. That means the Clinton assassination squad is fantastic It's so entrenched in the public consciousnesses on you tag. I'm actually stunned by it Oh and there's always just something that would like 10 years ago was just some sort of a running gag Yeah, yeah a few people prefer to we talked about it We talked about earlier. Yeah, but now it's like jeez um

44:31 I forgot to mention on the other Epstein, I'm pretty sure that looking at Bill Barr's connections through his dad to Epstein which is very clear. I think Barr is cleaning up he's not going to unseal the thousands of sealed indictments but He's gotta have a couple people who go down and I just feel like all eyes on Bill Because then, you know the Clintons go down. You just all you have to do is step back and watch everyone else who matters tumble. Do you don't think it's gonna happen? No no he's uh

CHAPTER 11 / 36 Discussion

FBI Corruption Allegations, Christopher Wray Criticism

Legal analysts Joe diGenova and Victoria Toensing criticized the FBI for alleged political bankruptcy and corruption during the 2016 election investigation. Attorney General Bill Barr has expressed having more questions now than before he took office regarding the conduct of the agency. There is ongoing frustration among some observers regarding the lack of movement on thousands of purported sealed indictments.

fbi· bill barr· christopher wray· department of justice· indictments

45:13 Immune. Is our immune or he's got, uh, he's protected? It's not going to happen there and I can do that to any president Well let's check in with the Lou and Joe show Let's see what Dojo DeGenoa says if we've gotten any closer to any information about this sealed indictments thousands of them After three years of investigation We still know so little And guess what If it hadn't been for the corruption at the top of the FBI in the Department of Justice To swing the election toward Hillary Clinton We would have all of these answers, but when you have the world's premier law enforcement agency The FBI becomes so politically bankrupt and corrupt that it cannot run an investigation The way it should have That's why? It's important that they clean house And that's why it's so sad that Christopher Wray has never addressed any of these problems and as Bill Barr said When he was attorney general for a couple months. He says I

46:07 I have more questions now than before i became attorney general. Boy that tells you something! No it tells me nothing! That's just something man no, its so disappointing It was three weeks ago it was gonna be any day now Wednesday... But no, three weeks ago is going to be wednesday! I can't even get Tina on board anymore I'm like, ah she's like...I don't believe it for a second. I've heard this all my married life with you! Which was three months and few days ago Yeah she finally wised up I'm sure everybody heard it but since we had this exact same issue back in the day also we haven't had this happen in many years The Bill de Blasio Skype fail was pretty fun Oh I don't know this Oh my goodness

CHAPTER 12 / 36 Discussion

Bill de Blasio Skype Fail, Ben Shapiro Comparison

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio experienced a technical failure during a Skype address to union workers in Iowa, resulting in his voice being transmitted at a high pitch. Listeners noted that the distorted "helium voice" bore a striking resemblance to conservative commentator Ben Shapiro. The audience at the event laughed as de Blasio continued his speech unaware of the audio glitch.

bill de blasio· skype· iowa· ben shapiro· helium voice

47:08 Yeah, it was the Iowa... I think the union workers and de Blasio had missed his plane or whatever bullcrap excuse there was. And so he came in on Skype and we knew it was Skype because you do remember what used to happen sometimes only on your end? I might add with Skype What was happening on my end You'd get the helium voice Oh yeah, that would happen. Before I get into anything about why I'm running for president, what we have to do in this country. I want to thank you." And the audience is laughing and he has no clue and it was...I mean his whole statement is just hilarious! And last night Tina said it who does he sound like? "...for the fight your waging every day organized labor in Iowa..." Who does he sound like?

48:09 He sounds like one of the female candidates. No, man listen... ...has been fighting a really really difficult battle... No! But you've been doing it in a way that shows so much... And he sounds like Ben Shapiro! They know your racist sex is big at home and FUBU hates the poor Right? That's what they know about you and it's not they think that about you They KNOW THAT ABOUT YOU! Has so much strength... That's right she's a Ben Shapiro fan So she picked that out It's a bit like Ben Shapiro Yeah More than a bit Yeah Funny Maybe Ben Shapiro's on helium. That would make sense that would explain something See I have a couple other 2020 thing oh yes, well Elizabeth Warren finally apologized to American Indians kind of insincere Quasi heartfelt I know that I have made mistakes I am sorry for harm I have caused

Andrew Yang Podcast, Presidential Debate Rigging Claims

Democratic candidate Andrew Yang appeared on the H3 Podcast and claimed that televised presidential debates are "rigged" and feel like reality TV. Yang alleged that some campaigns coordinate with TV networks ahead of time to plan specific attacks on opponents like Joe Biden. He described the debate format as a farce that focuses on drama rather than complex policy questions.

andrew yang· h3 podcast· presidential debates· joe biden· dnc

49:09 I have listened and I have learned a lot. And, I am grateful for the many conversations that we've had together. It is a great honor to be able to partner with Indian country and that's what I've tried to do as a senator and that's what I promise I will do as President of the United States of America That was pretty good. People thought it was me, do it again I want to hear- I wanna hear without Elizabeth What? You're crying that was pretty good I didn't do anything. Oh, okay But here's a groovy one from another guy i got my eye on Andrew Yang because he's all spiffy on that stage man but he's a little pompous Silicon Valley ass in the background however He went on a podcast it's always very dangerous when you go into podcasts I'm not talking Joe Rogan and I'm talking about podcasts where your chilled and your relaxed

50:10 And this is the H3 podcast. And you feel like you can kind of say whatever you want. No, surprise surprise! The debates are rigged. It's still so filtered and removed. Even the debates like you pointed out just feel like you're watching a reality and not happening. Actual and not even a good one I mean they ask you complex questions and expect you to answer in like 30 seconds, and then they cut you off And they focus so much on the drama. It's like they want it They want you to get into an argument with Joe Biden Yeah, and you know one thing I'll share with you all is that some of the campaigns are in touch with? The TV network ahead of time to talk about what sort of attack they wanna love this stage Attack on Around yes this question would be would play really well Yes, the campaign says hey

51:05 We're gonna make this attack against Biden and then the network goes, okay like we get it and then they help create that opportunity What a nightmare. I mean what a farce Yeah It's quite a disaster And I want to share with you the perspectives like I'm I think like a lay person who happens to find himself on the presidential debate stage being like what? You know what's happening I've got out of this conference call So that's quite the accusation Wow! That's a clip, that's a clip of the day. Give it to yourself. Thank you! Yeehaw! I could tell Somebody sent it to ya Um no...no. I found this myself Well its a gem Although let me just say

Hollywood Social Impact Agency, Narrative Script Integration

An industry insider reported on an event called "Unreasonable Conversation," where organizations like Color of Change and Define American offer script integration services to Hollywood producers. The initiative aims to embed specific social and political narratives into entertainment media, including the Marvel Cinematic Universe. High-profile participants in these workshops reportedly include Valerie Jarrett, Stacey Abrams, and John Legend.

51:56 As a part of our value for value system, it's not just the money. Yes that enables you and I to do the work but this...I was thinking just again this morning like without our producers I, there's no way. No way we would get the amount of the quantity and the quality of clips and information. Yeah insight on the ground. I got a note to read then from one of our guys is little long but i want to read it uh hollywood guy in the morning keep me anonymous I had to share an event that happened this spring and it will be an annual event. And he's got some cool link, it's called the Social Impact Agency. Oh yes! I saw this, I saw this. Organizations such as Color of Change Define Americans and Harness

52:42 which has been offering story consulting and script integration services to Hollywood for years. We only know of the one we've talked about, of course is Lear Foundation. Lear Hollywood Health & Society Foundation. Right out of USC They're participating in this event and this event was called Unreasonable Conversation People can look it up on Google It will be available during interactive sessions for writers who want workshop-specific storylines or characters they're working on Proper says it's all participants will be, all participants would be provided with a resource guide and contact information for these groups so they can develop deeper relationships with them on an ongoing basis as in unquote. This is an extravaganza of mind programming insider training where the top producers directors and actors messaging and coercing the new recruits to learn the new narratives for all genres of entertainment

53:36 Think Lear Foundation. I don't think this would pop up on your radar if nobody sent it to you, you might be able to deconstruct it in a novel way Hollywood is no fun anymore. It's just virtue signaling and the CNN agenda at every job I'm struggling hard as a middle-aged white guy in the entertainment industry and trying to escape this whole mess before they put me out the pasture This gathering makes my skin crawl, and it's a clear virtual signaling attack on everyone but the triple disgruntled status people I would contribute again today, but i'm in a bad place financially and says Great show keep up the good work. So there's a bunch of these things going on Yeah, I took a look at where's the right? I took uh, I took a look Yes Well, I took a look at unreasonable conversation dot org is usually 501c3s But there's a lot of money pumping through them There's a couple of them another one he uh, he mentioned I also looked up

54:36 That was let me see who is that? What's their name? We mentioned harness define America and defined a marriage fine America anyway So they did in March. They had the big meetings is where they get together with showrunners with producers And what's great about it is You know Hollywood being the virtue signaling community that come nearly that it is they do not want to make any mistakes. So for instance, there was an article linked to one of these sites study immigrant TV characters portrayed as criminals and less educated so just like you don't want to get caught up in some kind of bullcrap controversy as an advertiser You certainly don't want to make a misstep if it comes to DACA kids or if it comes to racial issues whatever It is you want to bring in the experts

55:28 who look very expert, and we'll get to that in a moment. And they should be a non-profit and by the way I don't think it's free they may be paying them or into the nonprofit But it's like hiring IBM. You know, you can't go wrong Hey look I brought in the unreasonable conversation people I brought in the Define America people I brought in the Lear Hollywood Health Society People I brought in all these people so you can't blame me and They will be very careful that they advise you properly So on the unreasonable conversation program this year Speaking or as panelists America America Ferrera remember hers ugly Betty Andrew Sullivan

56:11 who is accredited as a contributing editor at New York Magazine, of course very famous blogger. Andy Puttycomb...who I don't know. Let's see Baratunde Thurston people who have seen him before on Twit will know that he is who he is Bassem Yousef dubbed the John Stewart of the Arab world Let's go down some more here. A lot of names I don't know, let's see Gina Davis we know her Heather Ray very famous Hollywood producer John Legend well when John Legends in anything you know that that has to be a completely left organization because legend is famous for saying there's no such thing as a creative person of any sort who's not a Democrat

57:12 Yes, I think this was the clip. I think this is it. Danny is campaigning on expanding health care and he proudly promotes his F rating from the NRA His Republican challenger is state senator- Maybe with something else Yeah, that's okay Call voters from anywhere All you need is internet access and a- Well anyway we had a clip somewhere where he said creative people can only be Democrats So John Legend is in it Kerry Washington very famous actress Who else do we have here? Marsha Gessen

58:01 You know her, she's the troublemaker who hates Russia and of course therefore also hates Trump. She has written 10 books... ...she is on staff at The New Yorker. Megan Smith! Hello? We know Megan don't we? Oh yeah she used to be on my Silicon Spin show all the time Yeah isn't she a spook? It's possible I do not know that Okay let us see who else do we have Mayor of New Orleans Rashid Robinson, makes sense that he's in there. Stacey Abrams! General Stanley A. McChrystal they've got the military guys in there to you know to advise on the proper way to show anything Steve Levine the future editor at Axios

58:51 Yeah, you know you're so right. Valerie Jarrett! Oh hello Val she's in there So that is what is polluting your Hollywood products That is what is happening to MCU Is these people are have their fingerprints all over it How'd you like that little comic book reference huh? I didn't get it. MCU, it's the Marvel Cinematonic... Cinematic Universe or some shit like that? Oh, the Marvel universe, yeah. Yes, MCU! Yeah. It was all- I'm sure heavily influenced by these folk That way- that's why the creativity is kind of leeching out people aren't watching so much stuff. I mean there's too many shows on Netflix and half them are no good. A lot of this stuff is just garbage And just when we finished up the Roger Ailes Loudest Voice

CHAPTER 15 / 36 Discussion

Roger Ailes Movie, Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly

Following the success of the miniseries "The Loudest Voice," a new film titled "Bombshell" is set to depict the Roger Ailes scandal at Fox News. The movie stars Charlize Theron as Megyn Kelly, Nicole Kidman as Gretchen Carlson, and Margot Robbie. Early reactions to the trailer are mixed, with some critics questioning the "meta" nature of producing multiple dramatizations of the same event.

roger ailes· charlize theron· megyn kelly· nicole kidman· margot robbie

59:36 six-part miniseries now there's going to be a movie with Nicole Kidman what's her name hmm the little blonde from Suicide Squad Robbie Margot Robbie yes she's one of yeah and then the other one the Dior woman what's her name yeah Sharice Charlize Theron. She plays Megan Megyn Kelly. And everyone says, oh she looks just like her! I don't think so... I thought she did too Really? Well it didn't sound.. It was like yeah it's okay She did a pretty good job but the thing is then they show that I saw the trailer and it was just a piece of crap Yeah in an elevator Okay this is not exciting Boom boom boom bum bum ba-bum I mean it was just a junk trailer you know this movie's gonna suck I love how you do trailers Boom boom ba-bum ba-bum Totally

1:00:34 Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna be any good or not. I mean the Roger Ailes thing was- seems like it did the job It was a pretty good series. Yeah and then Russell Crowe did a good job that was fantastic He looked just like kind of looked like him yeah But no now they're going to trying to do jazzing up with some legs Well, I'm not against that. Think about how meta that really is to do a document or do it a drama about Roger Ailes That has more legs than the other one so they can beat it out That is very meta when you think about it Do a little twirl movie girls yes and with that? I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you

Brian Martin Totem, New York Times News Shaping

Producer Brian Martin contributed $350 and shared a letter comparing modern journalism to the movie "Inception," suggesting reporters are lost in a "dream" of their own making. He criticized The New York Times for a leaked meeting transcript where staff discussed how to shape news narratives following the collapse of the Russia collusion story. Martin described the "No Agenda" program as his "totem" for returning to reality.

1:09:32 It's the double, double-double doublespeak of the week. The double, double-doublespeak of the week! You might die... You've got karma. Huh? Brian Martin 350 bucks. You don't have to say huh you can just say slick I never..I don't remember the doublespeak thing. I mean the doublespeak thing i probably haven't heard for over a year Oh it's been longer than that maybe years. Yeah. They're John and Adam Let's back up and start over. Brian Martin, 350. Dear John and Adam I'll start with my jingle requests for part or require some queuing? And he's got a list there you have them yes thank you for everything that you do thank you for everything that you we know what it means we're having trouble reading today he knows we know what does it say read that sentence for me okay thank you for everything that you

1:10:32 Yeah, what's the matter? You can't read it. It says thank you for everything that you yeah, you welcome I was hitting a mouth a little over a year ago and no agenda has become a future fixture in my life Uh...it is apparent that two of you are pros Yeah, yeah, but if you pull together relevant thought-provoking content without massive producer production budgets yes It's a testament to your talents and to the product producer network. I'm happy to provide my second annual contribution in request of de-douching. You got it! You've been de-douched. I am truly dismayed at the state of news outlets and the supposed journalists that work within them, it is now close to impossible know where the truth exists.

1:11:22 Doctors and first responders treat in an attempt to save the lives of those that have committed such foul acts, that one could legitimately question whether they are worth saving. Lawyers provide legal services to defend those who have conducted acts that are seemingly indefensible. Each does so because they're committed to the principles of their practice—that all life has value, that each person has rights that should be defended. This is what our media's supposed to be! An organization that's committed to the principles of honesty and truth regardless of the consequences. Think about what kind of society would become if special political interest inserted its money and control to emergency rooms or the public defender offices to define what was acceptable. It's a scary thought in the last episode, you made mention of The New York Times meeting where the editor-in-chief as well as the staff were actually discussing how to shape the news I could not help but shake my head in disgust

1:12:22 Here's a group of people who have been unwilling accomplices to one of the greatest news misfires ever, the Trump-Russia collusion. Time and time again they pushed stories that found no support when The Evidentiary Report finally came out their response was well we were just caught flat footed and time and time again they push towards the blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Recall the movie Inception where the characters needed a totem to tell whether one's self is actually in reality, dream. It was sort of spinning coin or not and another person's dream? Journalists have been wrong about it so much for so long I'm convinced that they have lost themselves several layers deep in someone else's dream. They need a totem to bring themselves back to reality.

1:19:02 Baroness Whack-A-Mole in Hillsboro, Oregon 250 dollars and she becomes our first associate executive producer for this long list. Dear John and Adam, in the morning The last you heard from it she writes in long hand that is extremely readable. Nice! It looks like she took penmanship when she was at school I had just adopted the name Whack-a-Mole for all of the troubles I had been experiencing with my recent home purchase John seemed disappointed specifics as to my trials and Adam was moving at that time too. Here's my story, I purchased and moved into my new house last August unpacked purchased furniture hung pictures and made it a home then in February i found out that through a postcard in the mail and a subsequent city open house that road construction was planned for the road directly in front of my home! Oh no

1:20:04 This will include adding a turn lane, bike lanes made possible by taking home owners land and increasing the speed to 35 miles an hour creating a direct thoroughfare between two major roads. During doing a bit of research I discovered that the homeowners affected had been received a letter of explanation in the spring of 2017 so this seller sold the house to me not disclosing... By the way it's illegal in California do that this information and you could sue him. And my realtor did not do the due diligence to discover this project, though I had clearly stated that I desired a quiet road with nearby green space! Oh no... I found out April 18th in another city meeting that the nearby green space will be the future site of 19 home development! Uh huh? So here we are exactly a year later and last Friday I closed on the sale

1:21:02 Whoa, this house. Whoa and have a pending offer on a new one on a dead end street This whole process has been one challenge and difficulty after anyone I hope you didn't go through the same real estate person. Thank you for keeping me sane through it all! Yes, please include a Sir American Carnegie on the birthday list. Oh, I think... oh, I didn't put this-I didn't send this to Eric, I don't think. Or maybe I did. Let's see. Sir American Carnage on the birthday list turns 29 of 18th. Is he on there? Checking.... No so this is from Dame? No Baronet Whackamole.

Jordan Peterson Deepfake, AI Voice Synthesis

A sophisticated deepfake audio clip of Jordan Peterson was played, demonstrating the current capabilities of AI voice synthesis. The "Not Jordan Peterson" algorithm successfully mimicked Peterson's unique cadence and vocabulary, including references to climate change and "mudflats." While slight glitches were audible, the hosts noted the technology's potential to deceive the public.

1:28:42 Shut up, snake! I probably should play this. We got a deep fake... Deep fake! Deep-deep-deep faaaaake Which and then you know there was a deep fake machine out there and people like to do stuff And I hear it. I mean if you tell me that fine listen is this the person? Is this real person? I can hear no because it still sounds a bit choppy and not completely natural but When it comes to this particular guy and his already interesting cadence, well you get this. Hello! I'm not Jordan Peterson like the news you get from the M5M. I am a deep fake. I am an ALGO made up of skipped logic and the odd glitch that requires me to jiggle the handle manipulated by a nameless douchebag producer seeking cheap love

1:29:38 It is more important than ever that you donate to No Agenda. Unlike me, where man made climate change causing the mudflats to disappear there goes this effort The No Agenda show is real and needs your support especially from you Jeremy in Bondi You douchebag Please go to Dvorak.org slash and aim And donate now I may be fake but this shit is real That's pretty good isn't it? Yeah, a couple of glitches in there. Ooh! But I liked it. Yes.

Trump Helicopter Press Scrums, Media Briefing Shift

President Trump has effectively replaced formal White House press briefings with informal "chopper talk" sessions on the South Lawn. By answering questions over the noise of the presidential helicopter, Trump maintains control of the narrative and avoids on-camera confrontations with specific journalists like Jim Acosta. This format has resulted in Trump speaking to the press more frequently than his predecessors.

donald trump· white house· press corps· jim acosta· sarah sanders

1:31:20 And then I went looking for it, and indeed I had seen it. It did happen but it kind of passed over with the shootings and God knows what else just... The election news channels! It's so hard to get news like actual news even news from the president who by the way I think Trump has done something very smart He noticed he never replaced Sarah Sanders as far as I know. He certainly didn't replace anyone in the briefing room, so his new shtick is fantastic! It's just whenever he's walking to the helicopter out of the Oval across the lawn... ...He's got a news pool camera set up no journalists on camera which is why you never see Jim Acosta anymore

1:32:07 Just no journalist on camera, only him answering going back and forth bantering. And I think at this point he must have spoken to the press more than any president ever in history. He comes wandering out sometimes he wanders onto over the grass yeah a lot of grass in these shots. Yeah well it's Yeah, he's coming from under grass and he's coming out of a chopper and he's going to a chopper. It's always something... He's on the move! Yes, he is on the move that's right yeah it's good but I like that you know he's taken away the whole idea of the briefing is just gone now it was just him and it's probably the best way to do it although holy crap man no matter what he says it's just another scandal of the day for the election TV channels it's despicable uh but anyway one of the things

Mental Health Institutions, Reagan Era Asylum Closures

President Trump has proposed reopening mental health institutions to address mass shootings and homelessness, sparking a debate on the history of asylum closures. During the Reagan administration, many state-run "nuthouses" were shuttered following pressure from civil rights activists and the influence of media like "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest." Critics argue that the lack of intermediate care facilities has left dangerous individuals on the streets.

ronald reagan· mental health· asylums· homelessness· donald trump

1:33:00 that we always talk about when you have these mass shootings is was there any were there any pharmaceuticals involved now? We know that the Dayton, Ohio shooter had Xanax and cocaine and alcohol not a great combo Not an SSRI but not a great combo But you never really hear about this and it's never discussed on the news channels because The election channels are sponsored by Big Pharma in general they spend most of the money Silicon Valley doing pretty good as well. And as we've talked about several times on the show, but going back many years, the closing of the mental institutions in the United States now could you do like a brief reminder because this was the Reagan era? Was it not when we closed what we used to call the nut houses? Well yes but I'll give them briefing because this was an era that I was...this was my

1:33:57 And what had been going on, I was a Democrat during this era of course because I was Democrat. Of course, because you were a Democrat. So there was constant carping by the Democrats mostly the left if you want to call them that today but the Democrats just the Democrats and it was in the schools when you're in high school or even grammar school or anything they always discussed oh the horrible thing they do is look at these insane asylums this not the way you treat people they don't need to be locked down And they made it just it was the beginning of the social justice warrior movement I believe maybe it was and they just moaned and groaned and moaning grown a money growing It was never gonna end. What was the main? What was the main complaint about these mental institutions there were locking people up man Oh, man don't need to be locked up

1:34:52 And so they were looking these people up and it was bad. They should be out and about, most of them weren't even nuts anyway as far as they're concerned just need some counseling And so it was just this idea and they kept harping on it. And one flew over the cuckoo's nest, which was largely about written by Ken Kesey and he was a functionary of the moment. He wrote a book about it and it was just horrible. They'd lock people in there give them electroshock therapy and drug them until their zombies...it's horrible! So Reagan comes into office and he says he didn't want to have anything to do with all these people moaning and groaning for his whole six years or however long he's going to stay as the governor, and he just closed all the places. He did what they wanted! And now of course looking back on it they blame him. Were these federal institutions? State.

1:35:46 And Reagan had the power to close them? They were locked. All of them got disappeared We had Agnew State Hospital down in San Jose locked up, we had that Nuthouse in... see how I refer to it? Nuthouse and Sonoma both of them were pretty much shuttered. I think one was kept though-I think the one for the criminally insane whichever when that was I think was kept kept for a while because they need to put these guys somewhere during their trial. It would be worth going back and looking at some articles from that period and see if people are talking about, you know the equivalent of people experiencing homelessness, you know, people experiencing mental issues or some crap like that? Well the homelessness thing is something that has been written about it's been studied little bit it really relates back to Jimmy Carter

1:36:37 when he changed some federal rules about subsidizing housing. Let's not go there, let's stay with the Nuthouses for a second and I remember growing up they were... hey what's wrong with Timmy? They took his mom to the Nuthouse Yeah, that would be the way it would be referred to. Well President Trump heard it! We're going to be focusing very strongly on mental health because here's a case of mental health part of the problem is we used to have mental institutions and I said this yesterday we had a mental institution where you take a sicko like this guy he was a sick guy so many signs and you'd bring him to a mental health institution those institutions are largely closed

1:37:22 Because communities didn't want him. Communities didn't want to spend the money for them, so you don't have any intermediate ground You can't put him in jail because he hadn't done anything yet But you know he's going to do something So we're gonna be talking seriously about opening mental health institutions again In some cases reopening I can tell you in New York The governors in New York did a very very bad thing when they closed or mental institutions, so many of them. You have these people living on the streets and I can say that in many cases throughout the country they're very dangerous they shouldn't be there So we're going to be talking about mental institutions and when you have some person like this you can bring him into a mental institution

Prozac 30th Anniversary, SSRI Long-Term Effects

NPR recently aired a special celebrating 30 years of Prozac, featuring interviews with long-term users who describe the drug as "psychotropic Drano." However, concerns were raised regarding the lack of research into the long-term side effects of marinating the brain in serotonin boosters for decades. Many users find it impossible to stop taking the medication, effectively becoming "walking experiments" for the pharmaceutical industry.

prozac· ssri· npr· mental health· side effects

1:38:09 and they can see what they can do, but we got to get them out of our communities. So the problem with doing this today in 2019 and if it hasn't already started it will is mental health and the definitions of that have changed. Mental health is... I mean now at school you can take a mental health day At work you can have a mental health day. John, you and I don't know this but this is fact. This is something that's part of your benefits package You get these many sick days PTO and then here are your mental health days Mental health is described very differently And it is much more inclusive than you're right for the funny farm or the nut house

1:39:03 And with the SSRIs, and I learned a new one, SSNRIs which you'll hear in a moment. These two people who are depressed were really seriously depressed they have been lifesavers So, you know you gotta tread very carefully in today's media landscape of what you call mental health and mentally insane etc. And as if on cue NPR had an hour-long special celebrating 30 years of Prozac!

1:39:41 I put a link to it in the show notes. It's worth listening to, although at the end it comes all the way around to well they're pretty good we should keep taking them The woman who did this piece and did interviews and hosts has also been on Prozac for most of her adult life And I just wanted to play a clip from this We've had 30 years of Prozac So why are we still depressed? Which I'd like to have as an ISO candidate for the end of the show. I think it's a very valuable statement We've had 30 years of Prozac, so why are we still depressed? I have this almost physical memory of the first time I opened the bottle and shook this tiny green cream colored capsule out into my hand

1:40:27 I remember being scared because at the time, I thought it was going to make me somebody else. And what did you think? I vividly remember the first time I took it but I remember better the third and fourth time I took it because I was stunned. At first I thought this couldn't be, I'm just having a good moment But that moment turned into a day, and that day turned into a week. And that week turned into a month. I'm someone who lived with psychiatric symptoms since I was 10 years old and probably even before. All of the sudden, I was better! And...I had to reckon with what it meant that this pill was making me into a new person

1:41:13 I came to believe it was what i called a psychotropic Drano. It cleared my mind of all the gunk of obsessions and the gunk of depression, and underneath was the person that I was! the most miraculous thing that's ever happened to me. And I've had two babies, so and that supposedly miraculous and it was miraculous but it wasn't as miraculous as being cured in a matter of days by a pill. What's been the long-term effect on you? Prozac stopped working for me. It wasn't like its kind of dwindled down just stopped So I had to switch to Effexor

1:41:54 I'm permanently on an SSRI or SSNRI booster. I can't get off, but tried to get off and it's not possible for me to do. I don't see that i'll ever be able to get off of it in the meantime no one knows No one really knows what the long-term side effects of the SSRIs are? I've been taking them you've been taking them for 30 years We're walking experiments, but the scarier thing than that is that no one's experimenting on us. They should be looking towards us our bodies carry the signatures of these drugs

1:42:35 But no one's asking us or looking at us or looking in us to find out what might be the long-term effects. Why are they so hard to get off of? And what happens to the brain if you do get off them, and what happens to the brain if you don't get off them? I mean something is happening to the brain! After 30 years of marinating your brain in a serotonin booster clearly the brain has changed But no one knows how or why. And apparently, no one gives a crap! Apparently not! That's outrageous! That is outrageous and these women have a point that I think is well made by that one woman

1:43:19 Yeah, what gives? It's like 30 years... Charge you're paying the bill. I mean this is just like shantyx, you know, just say are you smoking now it works! Who cares if you tried to kill yourself for your neighbor who cares if you woke up naked rolling around in horse crap with a gun who cares if you're celebrity chef and you kill yourself while in France So yeah, that's... I find that to be immediate grounds for halting sales until we find- well that wouldn't be fair because people these people really need it and and it didn't stop working. And I mean isn't that reason enough for the makers of Prozac to go find out why? It's..I don't know if that's a competing manufacturer but she went to a different brand AND had to add a booster!

1:44:16 Huh, yeah. It's just very distressing Yeah And I'm sure lots of people will send me emails about their experience and I appreciate that it'll be fun It'll be interesting to read But and then of course in this case Prozac only well okay? Well let's see we got something a little more exciting We got tons of things that are exciting That was just sometimes like you know I gotta put something on blast You know let's see we got

Angela Rye CNN Argument, White Men Terrorist Comment

CNN commentator Angela Rye sparked controversy during a heated panel discussion by claiming that "white men" are the greatest terrorist threat in the United States. The hosts analyzed the frequency and pitch of Rye's voice, noting how it effectively dominates broadcast arguments. The segment also touched on the linguistic debate over using the word "hijack" in the presence of Muslim members of Congress.

angela rye· cnn· chris cuomo· racism· hijacking

1:44:53 What is the interesting odd with Cuomo and the race? Oh, yeah. Yeah this is interesting now this was something I recorded...I knew about this and I thought it was as a topic It was this woman calls out whitey you know just some screeching woman that's giving some guy crap for being white But that's not what I ended up with. This clip was not about that, this clip turns out to be about something completely different it has nothing to do with the message of the clip. This has to do with the pitch of the woman's voice. You know how some women like to drop their register down and talk deep because you know like... You mean when your running a blood company?

1:45:40 I'm running, coming out of the new phony voice. There is something that this woman who's bitching about just talking over two people to tones and pitches and the frequency response of her voice or the frequency of her voice not the response the frequency of her voice pretty much wipes everything else out and i'm wondering if this is not the most effective person they have as a spokesperson in a broadcast or televised argument just because her voice. Let's listen to this clip and you'll, the clips been around but just listen to how her voice dominates. This is unfortunately about politics. Politics is about elections!

1:46:25 This isn't about terrorism. Let's talk about terrorism. You know who the greatest terrorists are in this country? Particularly these two have taken over the Democratic Party, hijacked it from their own speaker! You think they've taken it over Angela? That is so interesting... Is that who it is? Yeah. I have the same clip, but the setup would've been very different for me but okay let's listen. Well lets listen. Because I don't care about this bull crap This is just a bunch of people bitching and moaning at each other. I don't care about the message she has to say But I do care about her voice

1:47:01 and how it easily steps all over both Cuomo and the other guy. If they're all talking at the same time, you can hear her so clearly say... The only two Muslim women in Congress- It works! That have nothing to do with whether they are Muslim or not Angela. Oh really? You chose to use the term hijacking I beg to differ and I absolutely damn your remarks. That's right because they've hijacked the party from their own principles That's a real interesting word choice and you understand why. You can talk over me all you want to but the bottom line is, the greatest terrorist group in this country are white men! White men who think like you that is the greatest terrorist threat in this country. It's all because of guys like me that silly rhetoric it doesn't get us where we're at. No its not, I think the show started.

1:47:49 how dangerous times are right now defending this nonsense calling people these folks. Hold on one second let's reset the table, hold on Angela just to be clear Patrick give me a second. It is not silly there is nothing silly about this conversation. Whose show was it? Calm down so we can have a rational conversation That was my favorite part Yes, she has a great voice. She's a very annoying person. She is full of crap. She is boule and she's been on CNN for a long time with this annoying voice and I think you should hire her as your personal spokesperson

1:48:28 It's astonishing her voice. I mean, just because I was listening for the message and that's why didn't clip it for that. The idea that you can't use the word hijack because it's somehow demeaning to Muslims... And just add to that, I mean, you did hear the point where she keeps saying white men are the problem? You heard that right? Of course! That pisses me off. Yeah, that what she does She is racist It's the way it cuts through everything else. That's what I was impressed by this screechy voice of hers is perfect, it's a perfect voice that's why she's there they have selected her specifically forward she was just a runner at the black congressional caucus She wasn't anyone important and then she got on CNN She's good at yapping over people and she's good to go. She's got a career. I love this part

1:49:20 Reset the table, hold on. Angela, just to be clear... Patrick, give me a second. It's not silly! There is nothing silly about this conversation. Now I don't know todays television standards but back in the day when i was on the television if you were an interviewer or had a panel of people and you resorted to hey who shows it? You gotta talk into Oh, that's very amateurish. It shows you have no control you don't know what you're doing and it's pathetic maybe it's okay these days I guess but do you get to talk? Well this is done on purpose there's no reason because the control room can cut people off they can do a lot but because she is getting hurt she's the one who's dominating the country she must give her the show

1:50:12 And there's no way you're gonna talk to her about her. Oh, well she's been wanting her own show for a long time I'd say Don Lemon be on the lookout watch your back Watch your index finger That would that would be a good person to replace Lemon would be good to replace with her The problem is...I get the sense that she's stupid and probably can't handle the show. I'm sorry, Don Lemon is the shining light? Hello let's get back to the programming meeting for a moment! That's why he said you'd be perfect guy but i get the sense that she's a dummy and probably couldn't do a show yeah yes or she's a prima donna that would be horrible to be running a show well i'll tell you this she would be a good hate watch people would be totally into it more hate watching than lemon lemon is too...

Training Babies Like Dogs, Channel 4 Parenting Show

A controversial new show on the UK's Channel 4 features professional dog trainer Joe Rosie applying canine training techniques to human toddlers. The program suggests that both dogs and children respond to similar reward-based systems and commands like "sit." The hosts discussed the cultural shift of people replacing children with dogs, particularly in urban environments like Austin.

1:52:41 Whataboutism! Yeah, find the proof of that assertion. You like my lip tart? False equivalency man! Back off with your whataboutism You know, I think you have a better voice to do that character. I do? No. That one's too dumb. Oh, I kind of like that one... It's too dumb! It's TOO DUMB. We have replaced dogs, we've replaced children with dogs certainly here in Austin Texas. Somebody wrote in and said the reason our donation was done at the last show is because you condemned dead dogs! I did not condemn dead dogs but I did make fun of the constant comparison of dogs to children specifically babies You never hear this is my toddler

1:53:39 You never hear this is my teenager. No, it's always my baby how old is your baby? Oh in eight years stinky old poodle And I love dogs have no pain I have no problem with dogs but owners and oh my god anyway I could go on forever It's fine. Yes, it's fine but I am right about this. We are replacing children with dogs and Channel 4 in the UK has made a show about it. Top British dog trainer Joe Rosie is coming to the aid of desperate parents with a controversial approach to parenting. I'm putting my neck on the line but i believe, in the concept, that this will work. It's almost like

1:54:25 Even a dog can train. Using dog training techniques. You have to say it less like he is a dog on kids. Whether or not I'm working with a dog or a child, they all want to be good boys. Are you ready? But can you really train your baby like a dog? Tuesday at 8 on Channel 4." There ya go! Yes, can you train your baby like a dog? Yes and they brought in the dog trainer and this is one time when video wouldn't have been good she says sit-you hear it there in the clip-sit And the dog and kid both sit down

1:55:03 It's phenomenal. That's just, you know... Wow! Yeah yeah it was here I think. Whether or not I'm working with a dog or child they all want to be good boys. Are you ready? Wait can you really train your baby like a dog? Tuesday at 8 on Channel 4. Wooo! Well when i see a choke chain around some baby then I'll wonder. Well you're no stranger to the leash No, that's true. But that's not for training it should keep them from running and on the tracks It's life-saving measures Yeah, there is a big difference Brexit I

Boris Johnson Brexit Negotiations, Measles Status Loss

Prime Minister Boris Johnson met with Angela Merkel to discuss a 30-day timetable for resolving the Irish border "backstop" issue. Meanwhile, the UK has lost its "measles-free" status from the World Health Organization, which Johnson attributed to "superstitious mumbo-jumbo" and anti-vaccine sentiment on the internet. The government is now convening summits with social media companies to promote vaccination information.

boris johnson· brexit· angela merkel· measles· vaccines

1:55:46 This would fall under the header of, I don't know but we were talking about this. I'm pretty sure i said what are you laughing about? What are you ho-humming about? Well I had...I didn't get it clipped this morning from you know this network Joe and I do say I'm glad you brought up Brexit because now I can talk about it. I didn't clip to clip but I can talk about their latest scheme. Okay well here's what I heard Boris was hanging out with Angela And in fact I have the clip. And he's like, and she goes... And then he goes, yeah I think we can still come up with a deal in 30 days. It's aggressive but i think we can do it This guy is not taking the UK out of anything Yes of course! I think there is ample scope to do a deal and I've explained pretty clearly what needs to happen We need to remove those elements of the withdrawal agreement that simply don't work But once we get rid of it if we can change it

1:56:49 then I think there is the real prospect of making progress very rapidly indeed. Oh yes, the backstop is a backstop! We can do the backstop! That's no problem we can take care of that... Yes, hey, I think we could probably do a deal maybe two years? Maybe a little bit faster? Maybe thirty days?! I think it would be possible. What do you think Bojo? then we are a step further and we have to make an effort to find something like that. I think what we need to do is remove it whole and entire, remove the backstop and then work as Chancellor Merkel says on the alternative arrangements And there are abundant solutions which are profitable which have already been discussed

1:57:37 They've so far been very actively proposed over the last three years by the British government. But I may say, I'm very glad listening to you tonight, Angela, to hear that at least the conversations on that matter can now properly begin and you said a very blistering timetable there of 30 days if i understood you correctly. I am more than happy with that. This you know what's gonna happen. They're not really right they're not gonna brexit They're gonna kick him out and Nigel Farage will become prime minister They're out of control What Boris Johnson is if Nigel Farage becomes Prime Minister? I would love to go back, uh I think probably ten years nine years for sure

1:58:31 and find the notes that we got from our British listeners back then, because we were big fans of Nigel Farage just for his polemics. Oh yeah! He's racist he's a dick why you like him this is no good! He's gonna go nowhere. No one cares about him These are all good bits. And we spotted them early and we stayed on the train, and we were corrected as I think we are often. So i'm watching this clip you know the latest they're going for and it wasn't concise enough so it wasn't really clippable would have sent it this morning The thing they're pushing now is the catchphrase freedom of movement

1:59:24 And they seem to be really hounding on this freedom of movement thing. So the odd man on the street, do you think it's going to be okay? Because with Brexit you'll have no freedom of movement! Yes this is a big thing yeah I know Yeah as if now you got lead boots on and can't move, can't even leave their town You're locked down That's what it makes it sound like In a straight jacket You can't move, you can't do anything. And this is the same thing with this Ireland border backstop nonsense! What difference does it make if they put a stupid border guard on the road? Well hold on a second now that's...you're wrong because the people of Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the Northern Ireland people

2:00:14 have a real problem with the border. They're happy they finally got rid of all the problems and they are worried, they say that the problems will come back if we have a physical border Do a pass-through border. Just have it there as just, you've flown into Europe where you go into the customs thing and there's two doors one is green one is red you got nothing to declare You walk off the plane boom! You go through the green door and you're now in the country It took that long The United States they stop everybody scan the bags They do all this stuff

2:00:56 You don't need to do that. You could just have a green, you know... Have the border there, have a big green and red and just have people go back-and-forth as fast they want through the Greenhole! I don't see this being a huge impediment or it's going to re-trigger the Irish Republican Army or anything in between." I dunno but i'd like a T-shirt that says The Greenhole That's all I want. Yeah well that probably is all you want BUT! That said I just don't, I mean this freedom of movement thing they got everyone saying oh god. I don't know what i'm gonna do and then you have to

2:01:33 Okay, well hold on stop that for the British. Hold on stop them This is not entirely correct The freedom of movement thing is also mentioned under EU side And it is not just about the backstop and the border between the Republic of Ireland Northern Ireland It is about the freedom to go work. That's know I never said that But I'm telling you that is... I just mentioned the backstop being an element. Okay, I'm expanding okay? It's alright not attacking you it's just they always send the emails to me so I'm trying to thwart that. Adam at curry dot com is easy to remember yes

2:02:18 The freedom of movement, in my experience the way people mean it is now I can't go and work in Amsterdam. Now I can't go work in Frankfurt. Now I can't go work in fill-in-the blank and that's true until you know something has worked out or if that's worked out immediately That's really...and I see that more as people who don't want to be in the UK They're the ones bitching, oh not on freedom of movement. You basically want to personally actually Brexit to go work somewhere else! They should just move there Yes UK If you wanna work in Amsterdam and Holland because you like it better than Liverpool Just move there become a citizen Yeah they don't want to do that

2:03:16 This is like temporary marriage. Boris Johnson has a... That guy is a nut job! He's, but you know what? I'm happy the UK has someone like this now because I got a little tired of Trump bits Here's Boris Johnson who was an anti-anti-vaxxer At the same time the World Health Organization stripped The United Kingdom of its measles free status after it declared that disease had been eliminated just three years ago complacency on the part of parents about the need to get that second vaccine but also I'm afraid people have just been listening to that superstitious mumbo-jumbo on the internet anti vax stuff and thinking that the MMR vaccine is a bad idea. That's wrong The British government inviting social media companies to a summit on how they can better promote accurate vaccination information No! There you go, colluding with the goverment It's called censorship

Fast Food Taco Reviews, Burger King vs Taco Bell

A host provided a scathing review of the new Burger King hard-shell taco, describing it as a "soggy piece of shit" that fails to live up to its commercial imagery. The discussion compared the product to the Jack in the Box taco and criticized Taco Bell's recent attempt to enter the french fry market. The hosts joked about starting a "Shellcast" podcast dedicated to taco reviews.

2:10:54 But you can't because it's section 230. Supposedly these are not, these are forums like a bulletin board at your local taqueria. You know? You can just stick something up there and there it is. I don't think so. It's internationalism...I mean the Germans don't YouTube and all of these guys they make them take down any Nazi stuff And they gladly do it. Yeah, you can have separate... You can't do that. Well so first before I say anything um i could not resist I went to try out the new Burger King taco since you said tacoria? I did yeah and left myself open for the cross-examination now you can go to tacos as a subject

2:11:43 Uh, no I just wanted to say that uh...I love me a hard shell taco and the commercial they look so good. and the people eating them look so happy. Let me tell you, this is a piece of shit product! It comes flat and it looks like a quesadilla... It gets soggy almost immediately- Oh that's like the way the Jack in the Box taco comes. And it looks nothing like the pictures, nothing like the commercial. You should bust them! I am right now putting my blasts on! I could not even see what was IN there. Ugh what a piece of crap

2:12:21 Have you ever had a Jack in the Box taco? No. Okay, well that's where I think it's fashionable. I'm not a big Jack in the Box guy. In fact, I'm not a fast food guy at all. Well, I ain't telling ya this right now and you should do this because now that you've entered the realm of Taco Reviewer... Taco Reviewer! Yes. You have to go to the Jack in the Box and get a Jack-in-the-Box taco to compare it to The Burger King taco. Am I then not a tacorist? You're a talkerista. A talkerista! Nailed it Yes, thank you all right back to YouTube after this slight detour Dave Rubin

2:13:05 Wait a minute, since you brought up the taco thing I'm gonna bring up mine. I'm sorry yes because you are also a taco restaurant. The french fries at Taco Bell because they tried to get into the French fry game with some dip and they're coated with some god awful powder or the worst french fries you can buy anywhere! I have a feeling Taco Talk may be a whole segment Just by itself. Taco Talk with your taco- is there a podcast? There should be a podcast! Taco talk yeah with your taquerias Adam and John hey, John how's you're...how are your beans? All right back to back the Google Dave Rubin who is of course he's a leading warrior on the front against Against censorship and what YouTube is doing in the deep platforming and cancel culture

CHAPTER 29 / 36 Discussion

Facebook De-platforming Algorithms, Brand Safety Risk

Former Facebook engineer Brian Amerige explained that de-platforming is driven by AI models designed to protect advertisers from "brand safety" risks rather than explicit political bans. These sophisticated machine-learning models attempt to predict what content will become controversial to insulate corporate sponsors. However, the lack of transparency in these "black box" algorithms often results in perceived bias against conservative or "objectivist" viewpoints.

facebook· brian amerige· algorithms· brand safety· advertising

2:14:00 Because he's witnessed it firsthand and I applaud him for doing that. So, we had a panel that he pulled together with a number of people talking about de-platforming and on that panel former Facebook guy who has been at Facebook for seven or eight years...I'm sure he has his money and he's fine, he is doing other stuff...Brian Amarish And he's asked and wouldn't you know it the guy inside the companies is saying exactly what we've been saying about deep platforming on this show since the word deep platforming was invented. Just a little insight on how in terms of what makes it hard to be transparent and a little bit about how these algorithms work whether its

2:14:40 ranking in newsfeed or demonetization on YouTube. So what they don't have is some sort of ban list of if you talk about these topics, or use these words whether if your an objectivist or your on the right that your going to fall into this category and we're gonna treat you this way. That's not how it works so what essentially happening for both YouTube and Facebook demonetization, for example. What they're trying to insulate advertisers from is the risk of their brands being tarnished by controversy. That's the thing that advertisers are worried about. They're worried about

2:15:19 associated with something that's considered hateful or hate speech or politically incorrect, it will blow up and tarnish their brand. They don't want to be associated with that. Is that a very strange thing? Before the Internet if you were watching any NBC sitcom, You weren't thinking that whoever, you know, tied endorsed that particular episode of the Cosby Show or something like that? Yeah. I think people have become a lot more sensitive about it and they've become much more They become more activist-like about it in saying, oh you're right next to that ad therefore we are going to try and punish you and control you in this way. And so what I've understood from the advertisers...and I didn't work on that part directly but I have spoken with folks inside Facebook about this is that's essentially their concern. It's not like they have any...they are against objectivists or people on the right. It's just they don't want to be associated with something

2:16:13 could become controversial. And so the problem for these companies becomes, how do we predict what's going to become controversial? And the way you do that is not that you have a team of human beings who are deciding what's controversial and what's not. The answer is that you build fairly sophisticated models using artificial intelligence and machine learning that essentially try to predict what's going to be controversial and what not. Okay, so without going too matrix right now aren't the humans the flaw in this system there? I mean these systems are built by humans who have their own biases and all that. I look at it from a higher level than that like i think the flaw is what you were saying in the sense of like

2:16:50 you can't be that sensitive about being associated with content that's controversial. Because it is impossible to build models that are going to predict this stuff accurately, what those models end up predicting nobody can even tell you. You might look at it from a very human perspective and say oh it kind of fuzzily looks like they're biased against conservatives or objectivists or whatever it is But in practice, the way these models work is there are hundreds of thousands of levers. Nobody knows what they all are. They're trained essentially with data sets that are... And again they're trying to reduce controversy and essentially with them and that's the advertiser concern at least and that's where it's coming from but there's no sort of ban list on far right or... Exactly!

2:17:48 And that's the whole problem. It's what it has always been Now, are there biased people pulling the levers? Absolutely There is something in there that was funny and catch Okay And why did he keep saying it Objectivist Yeah Because he is an Ayn Rand guy I guess That got to be it or somebody else at a company Maybe he was always a Randian and that's why he had leave Or maybe Facebook is Ayn Rand? I haven't heard that word for decades. No! Even when we talked about Ann Rand who you're a big fan of, yeah fan of... We talked about objectivism. Never heard you ever use the word objectivism Well you're wrong because in fact you went into great detail about the bullcrap objectivism blahblah after i said hey i read this book i kind of liked it Atlas Shrugged Bull crap objectivism blah Remember

2:18:47 That's not me. It's exactly you I am nailing your dream bitch No, no we did talk about yeah, we did a dream okay? All right well We have archives just found in that clip it was very interesting that he kept bringing that up now agree My gosh, it didn't catch it okay. Yeah of course and the troll room caught it too people People people do listen And they also listen to their customers. It looks like Gillette has figured out that their idea of causing controversy with the best man can be, which backfired spectacularly with a five billion dollar write-down on the Gillette property... So they've gone back! Yeah, they've gone back. They've now changed

CHAPTER 30 / 36 Discussion

Gillette Firefighter Ad, Toxic Masculinity Pivot

Following a $5 billion write-down and backlash over its "toxic masculinity" campaign, Gillette has pivoted back to traditional advertising featuring local heroes. A new Australian ad features a clean-shaven firefighter discussing the mental and physical preparation required for his job. The hosts noted the stark contrast between this "Gillette Man" approach and the brand's previous controversial social messaging.

gillette· advertising· toxic masculinity· firefighters· australia

2:19:35 They are now going to stop talking about toxic masculinity and they're going to local heroes as we see a firefighter in Australia wake up in the morning getting ready to shave. I've been a firefighter for 19 years people sometimes ask if it's scary, It can be but like anyone who has a job to do you prepare Not just in terms of your equipment, but also mentally. And physically In urban environments it's mandatory for Australian firefighters to be clean shaven so that our face masks keep an airtight seal Sometimes it's total chaos But you're trained to control your stress response Like lots of guys with sensitive skin shaving every day can cause redness and irritation but not anymore

2:20:43 Honestly, it's not the fire you worry about most. It's more the constant reminder of who you might leave behind for anything ever. I'm a man! I'm a Gillette Man! Gillette Skin Guard The razor designed to stop skin irritation What? After playing that, I am taking away your clip of the day We used to have something for that didn't we?! Worst clip of the day. We don't have anything yet, maybe Chris can come up with something I thought we had a thing that reversed... Yes! Yes, I'm correct Gone Took it away from me Now can i bring you back to tacos? Because I planned this

CHAPTER 31 / 36 Discussion

Branded Podcast Trend, Gimlet Media Corporate Content

The New York Times reported on the rise of "branded podcasts," where companies like McDonald's and New Balance hire networks like Gimlet Media to produce full-length shows about their products. Critics view this as a "death knell" for independent podcasting, as networks resort to making native advertisements to meet payroll. The hosts mocked the concept by improvising a "Shellcast" interview with a generic taco shell manufacturer.

gimlet media· branded podcasts· new balance· mcdonalds· advertising

2:21:43 You want to talk about Gillette? I don't know how you're gonna do that, but i'm listening. Do you want to talk about Gillette first and then go to tacos again? No! I don't want to talk about Gillette. I don't care about Gillette Well...I'm going to bring it back around To an article in the New York Times Which shows exactly what stage we are in In the podcast revolution We went through this. The taco stage? Yeah, we went through this I've said many times you can't monetize the network it doesn't work This is not going to end well and there's this whole article about fast food companies doing podcasts And according to The New York Times what's more surprising people are actually listening to them

2:22:30 Bull crap now the thing that got me though, and it's a whole. It's a whole article about So gizmodo is producing the McDonalds the sauce podcast But then I got to gimlet gimlet is working for New Balance creating a show about clothing and sneaker culture. This is the death knell of the podcasting network The minute the podcast network, take it from me I had one! The minute that podcast network resorts to getting in advertisers to make a show for that advertiser's product you're on the brink another round of finance this will not work for Gimlet

2:23:19 This will not, any of these- It doesn't ever work for anybody. No! Any of these podcast companies that are going to make payroll by making podcasts for their advertisers who should be advertising on their outstanding podcast is going down the tubes Yes I can't agree more and in fact the whole thing there's some thought i had lost it but we did that at MeVeo. We did the RDX7, we had a bunch of sketches, we unboxed motorcycles, all the unboxing podcasts.

2:24:03 Yeah, this is worse. What I was going to say... This is worse! Worse! I tell you. Worse? Yes. Than a native ad. It's worse than an ad. It is the pits. It is the pits. It is really bad. We on the other hand- The New York Times is in on this somehow because there's no way that people are flocking to a taco podcast done by Taco Bell or whoever the sponsor is Well, they say that... Let's talk a little bit about the shell. Bill! We got Bill in here from the Shell Manufacturing Facility outside of Nashville. The Taco Shell makers. Bill? Howdy. Bill, introduce yourself. Yeah, well tell us what you do at the taco manufacturing taco shell company

2:24:49 I thought, you know. I thought i was going to be Bill? You played both roles! No you're Bill okay I'm gonna interview you. I'll interview ya. Bill, we got bill here from the taco manufacturer. Hi Bill how are you doing? I'm good We got Bill on Skype. Yeah, I'm sorry Bill so how long you been doing this taco shells bill? Well first of all thanks for having me on the shell cast i really enjoy talking about the different kinds of taco shells that are out there uh... So far we found that the one that looks like a quesadilla stuck together where you can't see what's inside seems to work best for our tacos

2:25:31 Well that's not the way Taco Bell taco is Bill. Are you sure? Do you actually work for Taco Bell or are you just a generic shell maker that Taco Bell buys from your contract? Oh I know hey what this is the Shellcast! I got all kinds of shells big shells small shells, I got wacky shells zany shells they've got colored shells got hard shells soft shells...I got shells So do you, who's the inventor? I was very fascinated by this by the way. Who is the inventor? I think El Paso makes these and that the shell has got like a bottom so it goes down as hard shell and it's got a bottom that's about an inch wide and then it comes up on the other side so we can actually stand up to shell. Yeah yeah! That was... Is that patented?!

2:26:15 I think we should stop while we're ahead. You just weren't up for it. No, we had to end it somewhere! No... I could have gone on. I know, I know. I'm a conversationalist. Yes you are. There's a lot to be talked about maybe there is something to that but let's start by thanking people. Somebody please register shellcast.com and the taco show with your taqueristas? Taco Show. The Taco Show Yeah the Taco Show

Producer Credits, Birthday Announcements

The show continues its value-for-value segment by thanking individual producers for their financial support and birthday messages. Notable mentions include Nils Bonnaker from Hamburg, a progressive minister from Canada who "walked away" from the left, and several producers celebrating birthdays for their children and spouses. The hosts also performed "de-douching" rituals for first-time donors.

Windows 10 Update Issues, Global Meetup Schedule

During the recording, one host experienced technical interference from a forced Windows 10 update, leading to a critique of Microsoft's operating system. The segment also included a comprehensive list of upcoming "No Agenda" meetups in locations ranging from Charleston and Toronto to Busan, South Korea and Luxembourg. The hosts emphasized the importance of community gatherings for "like-minded people."

Value-for-Value Model, Knighting of Sir Robert

The knighting ceremony honored Sir Robert of the Limestone Creek and Sir Roy Tenhava for their significant contributions to the show. Craig Kuttner was also elevated to the rank of Viscount of Georgia. The hosts reiterated that the show relies entirely on producer support rather than traditional advertising, encouraging listeners to participate through artwork, clips, or financial donations.

2:42:19 Because it's ruining the show. It's bad for the show because you've been ever since you switch networks, but yeah it's crackly But I know why because damn Windows is downloading all of windows 10 in the background Look at your probably look at your performance meter. I'll bet its spiking that wouldn't be surprised. Yeah If anyone could make drivers for Linux, I would use it And that would suck too. There's no Skype for Linux worth of crap. Oh, that's right. Hey man! Discord! Please don't send me emails about how I can do the show on Linux it's not gonna happen. It can't. Sip. Sip. A sip!

2:43:02 Hey, thank you to our producers who graciously supported us today. This perfectly makes up for the last show let's try and even it out so we have consistent amount of show every single time that would be great but I'm not complaining the broke Beagle did his job and again There are so many people who help with this show, and we don't have listeners. We have producers And we have producers who can give us info. We've produced you can do artwork You can do clips you can do jingles some people just don't have the skill to Do the technical work new clips etc some people have no talent

2:43:42 But that's okay. You can still produce and participate by joining one of our monthly programs What are you laughing about? I'm doing a great pitch here! People have no talent in making clips, picking great clips It's okay people see things they say that that's fine but if you really want to help That's how you participate if you can't do the other things. Like Chris Wills is like, oh I'm gonna get back on my monthly's! Dude you don't have to donate ever again you've done so much for this show So that's what iIm trying to make a distinction of it's like everybody can help everybody can pitch in and as I said under $50 is for reasons of anonymity we don't talk about it because that's the first rule of The Donation Club and also people who are on our

2:44:28 monthly's or some weekly or episodic programs. Hey, chip in everybody! What have you got to lose? I'm throwing it all out now.

All right NBC which I got...I'm trying to get more clips from them because they always run these whipsaws or whatever we call it whatever I call them I keep changing the name and there's a good example but they ran this I'm not gonna run both of these clips but they did this Essentially the clip I'm going to play, which is the Wednesday Trump rundown was almost identical to the Tuesday Trump rundown. But in a Tuesday Trump rundown they didn't have any whipsaws so we'll just run the... Whipsaws where they say one thing and then they clip something else

CHAPTER 35 / 36 Discussion

NBC News Whipsaw Analysis, Trump Background Checks

A detailed deconstruction of an NBC News report by Peter Alexander revealed the use of "whipsaws"—editing techniques that pair a reporter's biased assertion with a contradictory clip. The hosts demonstrated how NBC claimed Trump was reversing course on gun background checks and tax cuts by misrepresenting his actual statements. This "slanted" reporting is presented as a primary example of modern media bias against the administration.

2:48:48 And of course, Mutton and Mead for you at noagendanation.com head over there handing your details to Eric the shill and he will get that to you as soon as possible We got one title change today, but it's well deserved. Sir Craig Kupner now becomes the Viscount of Georgia all of it He's taken over all you can find out more as you go to ITM that I am slash peerage and You learn where all of our knights and dames are of no agenda nation who will be in charge of those protectorates During and after the Armageddon then thank you again sir Craig

2:49:50 And thanks to everybody who supports the show. Gracias, my friends! Well I have an actual deconstruction which I like to run. All right NBC which I got...I'm trying to get more clips from them because they always run these whipsaws or whatever we call it whatever I call them I keep changing the name and there's a good example but they ran this I'm not gonna run both of these clips but they did this Essentially the clip I'm going to play, which is the Wednesday Trump rundown was almost identical to the Tuesday Trump rundown. But in a Tuesday Trump rundown they didn't have any whipsaws so we'll just run the... Whipsaws where they say one thing and then they clip something else

2:50:35 So, here's the Wednesday Trump rundown and then I will take two whipsaws out of it after we hear the whole thing. Also making headlines this evening President Trump sparking new confusion on gun background checks pulling new tax cuts off the table and feuding with Denmark over his rejected offer to buy Greenland all while doubling down on his controversial remarks about Jewish voters NBC's Peter Alexander is at The White House President Trump tonight delivering mixed messages about enhanced background checks for gun buyers. I have an appetite for background checks, we're going to be doing background checks At the same time after another call with the NRA chief Tuesday arguing the existing system is already strong We have background checks

2:51:20 But there are loopholes in the background, Jax. And that's what I spoke to the NRA about yesterday. The president also appearing to reverse course amid concerns the economy may be weakening an outlook he disputes after floating the idea of a tax cut Tuesday Payroll taxes something that we think about today saying it's not on the table. I'm not looking at a tax cut now We don't need it. We have a strong economy The president again defending the ongoing trade war with China This isn't my trade war This is a trade war that should have taken place a long time ago by a lot of other presidents. Delivering this self-aggrandizing assessment... Somebody had to do it!

2:51:58 I am the chosen one. Somebody had to do it, so I'm taking on China! President Trump also digging in again painting Jewish Americans as disloyal if they support Democrats. I think that if you vote for a Democrat you're very very disloyal to Israel and to the Jewish people Many Jewish groups have condemned the comments accusing the president of echoing an anti-semitic trope that Jewish people have dual loyalties and are more devoted to Israel than to their own countries. And tonight the president's found another target, blaming the prime minister of Denmark a long time ally for the abrupt cancellation of a state visit there next month after she ridiculed his desire to buy Greenland It was nasty I thought it was an inappropriate statement all they had to do is say no we'd rather not do that or we'd rather not talk about it don't say what an absurd idea that is

2:52:52 The president's decision to pick a fight with an ally comes as he is advocating for a traditional adversary just days before heading to the G7 summit calling for Russia to be allowed back into the group. Before you continue with the deconstruction, this is only possible because of his new format of The Grass, The Chopper and Just Trump Yeah That's interesting Okay So I heard a lot of...I mean He also making it easy for him to put this together Well, they still can't do it without cheating. Yeah, they can't. They just can't do it. They can't bring themselves to it if you listen to the Tuesday version of the same thing It was pretty straightforward There was no cheating in that one same exact report but somebody obviously at NBC really one of the worst of these networks say MSNBC should be know being the epitome of it and

2:53:47 Somebody said, hey can we do this again but let's give the guy a little some kneeling here because it was like pretty soft. And so they threw everything and they could in the second report but is the same thing But here are two examples of the whipsaws that were in there and I will listen to both of them You'll see how obvious it is but lets play Whipsaw 1 Arguing the existing system is already strong We have background checks But there are loopholes in the background, Jax. And that's what I spoke to the NRA about yesterday. Okay... He says that the quote says that he's called the NRA to tell him that the existing system is already strong. That's not the clip! Hold on, arguing... The background checks have got loopholes in them Let me hear it again How does what Peter says in his analysis say that he called the NRA to tell him that the background checks are already strong? That is not what he said in the clip Arguing the existing system is already strong We have background checks

2:54:48 But there are loopholes in the background checks and that's what I spoke to the NRA about yesterday. Yeah, they were it to be fair and not cheaters They would have used the other one where he said we got great background checks but he doesn't have that He never said they were strong No The NBC correspondent asserts that Trump said they were strong Lies! Trump does not say that Lies Alright Lies, lies. Okay let's try another example After floating the idea of a tax cut Tuesday Payroll tax is something that we think about Today saying it's not on the table I'm not looking at a tax cut now We don't need it! We have a strong economy

2:55:30 What? Hold on. I want to play it again. After floating the idea of a tax cut Tuesday, payroll taxes something that we think about today saying it's not on the table. I'm not looking at a tax cut now We don't need if we have a strong economy Where in there does he float the idea He says he is looking at them. We're looking at tax cuts. That's a float To be specific payroll taxes is something we think about, you know? Who doesn't. You get payroll tax if you think about it. Thinking about something is not the same as floating an idea. He specifically says yeah, we think about and then he says well they contradicted himself but he never contradicted himself because the first assertion was a false assertion this is what NBC does constantly This is what they do

2:56:27 You're officially on the Trump Defense Force. I'm not defending anybody, I know! I'm just condemning NBC's poor reporting. The reporting is bigoted biased and slanted it's terrible it really is terrible It is The best part of all those clips that you played for me personally was the end of show Iso. I am the chosen one! I just can't get enough of that, in fact... Let's go over that part of it That was pretty funny because they condemn everybody on the network Oh he thinks he is God now Yes If you watch the video Trump sat on a lawn

CHAPTER 36 / 36 Discussion

Chosen One Comment, Al Gore Parody Song

The show concludes with a look at President Trump's "I am the chosen one" comment, which the hosts argue was a joke directed at the press corps that was taken literally by news networks. The episode wraps up with a parody song about Al Gore and climate change, followed by the standard sign-off and a reminder to support the show via the value-for-value model.

donald trump· al gore· climate change· parody· chosen one

2:57:19 he's mocking the whole idea. And he turns to the left and looks up in this guy, and kind of throws his arms out says I am The Chosen One as a joke! What he should do... He's already done I Am The Chosen One. He tweeted a quote from the rabbi who said he is king of the Jews So of course now Trump says he's king of the Jews. What you should do now is, I am the God of hellfire! Now that will be great. That would be fantastic. Well we went way over time to affiliates are pissed but that means we have some good stuff to carry over till Sunday the second Thursday show of the week
