About this episode

Prime Minister Boris Johnson secured Queen Elizabeth II's approval to prorogue Parliament, a move opposition leaders like Baron Adonis and Paul Mason have labeled a coup. The suspension, scheduled from mid-September to mid-October, aims to bypass legislative interference ahead of the October 31st Brexit deadline. Meanwhile, Nigel Farage is calling for a clean break from the European Union to stimulate foreign investment, even as new pet passport restrictions threaten to complicate travel for UK citizens.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg arrived in New York via a zero-emissions yacht, though questions persist regarding the carbon footprint of her support crew's return flights. In Canada, the 18-to-8 campaign is lobbying to lower the federal voting age to eight years old, citing environmental urgency. Simultaneously, climate scientist Michael Mann lost a significant court battle in British Columbia against Timothy Ball after failing to produce regression analysis data for his hockey stick graph. On the domestic front, the CDC warns the United States may lose its measles elimination status by October, while a deadly outbreak of Eastern Equine Encephalitis surfaces in Michigan and Massachusetts.

I've no idea why Drivers were set to the wrong bitrate. I don't know why it did that, but i had the thing turn me into dark mode once out of the blue on an update and can't figure out why But I never had a bunch of drivers reset maybe because you have all kinds of weird drivers Why would it reset any of them? Yeah It shouldn't just leave it the way is maybe they updated a driver that's possible

Greta Thunberg Arrives in New York via Zero-Emissions Yacht

Climate activist Greta Thunberg completed a 15-day Atlantic crossing on a zero-emissions yacht to attend the United Nations Climate Conference. While the voyage was marketed as carbon-neutral, questions remain regarding the logistics of flying the sailing crew back to Europe.

01:40 Usually them Windows 10 updates shouldn't be updating drivers randomly. Well, who the hell knows? That's the one thing I did appreciate about the Macintosh if it was broken It was just broken for a long time There is no quick little fix on Tuesday. Just busted yeah, he just These things anyway we're on the air everywhere yes Greta mania she made it didn't she Oh man, I was stunned and then she uh... She came out, I guess she came out the other end. Okay now she's stuck over here and it's gonna be Greta-mania you watch can be like The Beatles Is she going to do a ticker tape parade through New York? She might! I have an NBC Thunberg report if you want to play that A teenage climate activist whose passion for the planet has attracted global attention arrived in New York City today The young environmentalist chose to travel on a zero emissions yacht And she invited fans to share the journey Here is Kelly Cobie

02:42 Tonight, climate activist Greta Thunberg is back on dry land after 15 days at sea. All of it is very overwhelming The 16-year old Swedish student who started a global youth movement when she went on strike from school last year set sail from England August 14th for New York and the United Nations Climate Conference taking a boat she said because flying is terrible for the planet So I think this will be fun Sharing her maiden voyage with her 2 million social media followers. Tweeting, it's like camping on a roller coaster and on day 8 you really lose sense of time

03:20 But one day stood out. That bad weather making them just one day late. It is insane that a 16 year old has to cross the Atlantic Ocean to make a stand. After two weeks, stare at the ocean and think about the planet. Kelly Covillier of NBC News Yeah, yeah well I hand it to her. I'm impressed that's that was no no small feat for a child I probably would have turned it down myself That's okay guys unless you're a sailor and you'd really like you want to give it a shot on something really in a very High-end boat but now one of those guys now This is the whole United Nations deal and of course they're flying the crew back she gets

04:06 back. That's still unclear! Is she gonna single hand the boat back? It's gonna do we mean the flying of the crew back what is the boat going to do I don't know maybe we get to keep her that would be nice so you know here on The No Agenda Show, were not big fans of abusing children for climate for Green New Deal climate change hysteria but she seemed to be into it okay that's fine Canada has a new campaign where they're really abusing kids and this is the 18 to 8 campaign. Have you heard of this? No. Well, the 18 to... 18 to eight? Yeah so they feel that... Not eight to eighteen? No! The voting age in Candinavia is 18

Canada 18-to-8 Campaign Proposes Lowering Voting Age

A new Canadian advocacy campaign titled 18-to-8 seeks to lower the federal voting age to eight years old. Proponents argue that children should have a say in elections because climate change poses a direct threat to their future, citing a 12-year window to avoid catastrophic damage.

canada· voting age· climate change· lobbying· youth movement

04:53 They want to change it to eight? Yes they do and here's why. Climate change, climate change you're a threat! How many years do we have left? Excuse me, do you guys have a moment just talk about climate change? We polled kids across Canada and asked them to rank election issues in order of priority 74% ranks climate change as the issue most important to them. Climate scientists are now saying we only have 12 years left to act if we want to avoid catastrophic damage. That's why we're lobbying the federal government to lower the voting age from 18-8. Let the kids vote! They are future, they deserve a say

05:37 This guy can vote and then I can't? These kids are not here to kid around. Let the kids vote! That last voice at the end was Mr Miyagi, they even got him in he's a hundred years old now you know from Karate Kid? Yeah

06:19 Yeah, there you go. So the kids again terrorize... I like this song! Let the kids vote! There's also a jingle at the beginning that the kids were singing and thought was pretty good. That is actually a good one. Oh let me see it was uh what did they say again? Climate change climate change You're a threat How many years do we have left? That's your chant 12 years left We're all gonna die But it's okay because this will happen less frequently in our future. This is going to go away It's going to become less of an issue, you know why?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Discusses Climate Change and Family Planning

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez discussed her personal concerns regarding family planning in the face of environmental instability. She suggested that younger generations are reconsidering having biological children due to the long-term impacts of climate change.

alexandria ocasio-cortez· climate change· family planning· instagram live· millennials

06:57 We're all gonna die, that's why. Well no no it's the children will no longer be making children we have to reduce AOC said so herself on her live Instagram I think about the kind of family that i want to plan and...I've already known my entire life that one day I'd love to adopt children But even now, when you put climate change on top of that I know that I want to perhaps have one less child than I thought I would maybe have if I can even have a child biologically. I don't know just haven't tried. And and I think having a mixed family is part of my personal

07:48 planning. But it's really hard and I don't think sometimes that older generations really understand how much we're taking this into account. Taking what into account? That they don't want to have childrens! Less children's and she said the way she says it. She says I don't think down to older generations know how much there What did she say? Let's let us last bit again, then I think about the come is part of my personal So she says she wants have a mixed family with one less than she would have planned planning as part of her planning But it's really hard and I don't think sometimes that older generations really understand How much?

08:32 We're taking this into account. Oh, no we do you're terrorizing the younger generation I were very cognizant of what's going on Thank you very much ageist know what's happening just prick What's happening? What-what we don't to talk about is that Michael Mann the premier climate scientist who first handed the hockey stick graph to Al Gore Was it James Hansen who handed the hockey stick? No, it was Michael Mann. Okay And he just lost a court battle has to pay court costs and lawyer costs because he refused to produce the underlying data in court of his assertions Oh, he's got nothing Well, he refused to show it Why if its so powerful

CHAPTER 05 / 45 Discussion

Michael Mann Loses Court Battle Over Hockey Stick Data

Climate scientist Michael Mann lost a legal case in British Columbia after refusing to produce the underlying R2 regression analysis data for his famous hockey stick graph. The court dismissed the lawsuit with prejudice and ordered Mann to pay defendant legal costs.

michael mann· hockey stick graph· ipcc· british columbia court· dr. ball

09:32 Yeah, so he just made it up. Yeah well and what was the actual? Oh this will be This will be swept under the rug yeah Well there's a bunch of reports about this now This was the hockey stick trend that was featured in the third IPCC assessment report that came out in 2001 That is what Al Gore used And what was the... Oh yeah, so the court in British Columbia dismissed his lawsuit because he was suing for slander or whatever because Dr. Ball I think said this is bullshit you don't have it's not true and they dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice which i think me in this case means it was so stupid you brought this to the court

10:21 And it's the R2 regression analysis which underlies his graph. He refused to produce the documents, was ordered to produce them by the court given a deadline, refused to produce them... The court dismissed the case Now will you hear that anywhere on mainstream media? Probably not Not with Greta Mania! Good old Greta Luckily though, you brought the analysis of this Amazon Lungs of the World to the previous show. I saw Newsweek, Time... Did New York Times do any kind

CHAPTER 06 / 45 Discussion

Amazon Rainforest Oxygen Consumption Myths

Scientific analysis suggests that while the Amazon rainforest produces significant oxygen, nearly all of it is consumed by the local ecosystem and soil. The common "lungs of the world" descriptor is challenged by the fact that very little net oxygen actually leaves the basin.

amazon rainforest· oxygen· photosynthesis· lungs of the world· ecology

11:14 Story on this, uh...this hoax that the Amazon is the lungs of the world. Well Nat Geo had a nice little ditty on the Amazon and you know The funny thing is Pamela Anderson used to be the lungs of the world One single tree can produce enough oxygen to support two people. And the Amazon rainforest is ten times the size of Texas, producing 20 times more oxygen than all the people on the surface of the earth could consume But not one breath of it leaves the Amazon There are so many animals living in the Amazon basin that life there

11:58 uses all that oxygen up. For all these years I've been thinking the rainforest is the lungs of the planet now sure it makes a lot of oxygen but it uses it all. Now, thats another interesting little factoid It never really leaves the Amazon its not added before and I will...and I don't..I think I mentioned this after the show and you said you didn't say on the show thought I did by I'll say it now which when I was a kid thats what we were taught We were taught that the Amazon produces all this oxygen and it's very crucial that its remain intact. Yes, I think I learned similar. This reminds me of the International Geophysical Year which I believe was 1957 And was recorded by Steely Dan

CHAPTER 07 / 45 Discussion

International Geophysical Year and Tectonic Plate Theory

The 1957 International Geophysical Year marked a shift in geological understanding regarding tectonic plates. Prior to this period, the visual fit between South America and Africa was often dismissed as a coincidence by educational institutions.

international geophysical year· tectonic plates· continental drift· 1957· geology

12:52 Then before the International Geophysics Year, everybody would in the schools would teach that it's just a coincidence. That if you look at a globe that South America kind of fits into Africa like a couple of jigsaw puzzle keyed. Oh yeah I always heard this no-no-no! You think that fits? No-no-no-no... It's bull crap! It's a coincidence And then the International Geophysical Year appeared and they determined, that's when they discovered tectonic plates. And it realized that yes it was once one giant land mass and then it moved away very slowly but it did fit which was the first thing you'd see when you looked at a globe logically it looked like it fits in there trying to deny the obviosity of it Why were they denying it? When now its generally accepted as true

13:49 baffling. It just became some sort of a standard, you know somebody... I have no idea they didn't want to believe it i guess it was like now that can't possibly be true because that means there would be one giant landmass and we have no evidence of such a thing well this is such a convoluted topic that the Democratic National Committee voted against a presidential climate debate amongst the candidates. The delegates voted 222 to 137 against allowing candidates to participate in the debate dedicated to the topic after a heated floor fight interrupted by protesters chanting, we can't wait and failure of leadership! Which are not good chants by the way but okay. This is quite lame

CHAPTER 08 / 45 Discussion

CNN Seven-Hour Climate Change Town Hall Schedule

Following the DNC's refusal to host a sanctioned climate debate, CNN announced a seven-hour prime-time town hall event featuring ten Democratic candidates. The schedule includes back-to-back interviews with Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, though Tulsi Gabbard and Marianne Williamson were excluded.

cnn· democratic national committee· climate debate· joe biden· bernie sanders

14:45 So they decided, nope we're not going to have a debate just about climate change. CNN immediately turns around... Hold on a second! If you can address this which we have addressed in the past this has been going on for awhile but what would be the debate? They're all on the same side. Well, I completely agree with the leadership actually that it would be suicide for them to have a debate because no one has answers it's all conflicting and you're right they're all on the same side It would just come down to how much money...I don't know! It would be hilarious to watch and great for our show. It would have been fabulous so instead

15:27 They- someone co-opted CNN and they announced an unprecedented time- prime time event! They're going to do seven hours of town hall back to back live from New York on Wednesday. Taking audience questions. Oh, yeah So we start at 5 p.m with Julian Castro followed by Andrew Yang at 540 oh there's different interviewers to hold on this is great so wolf blitzer What wait I should mention this because this is a little dimension to what you're doing here and

16:07 When this first began, which was before the first debate they said anybody who takes part in something like this will be kicked off the debate stage period. I don't know if you remember that? I do Well these guys that you're starting to mention already...I dunno maybe it's gonna change if you keep reading names They're already off because the Democratic Party decided no we're going to do one debate now it's not going to be 20 people and they've already, they are excising numerous people from this stage. Well so that sounds like these guys are two of the guys! Well were only gonna have 1-10

16:45 But this lineup is very interesting. Again, it starts at 5 p.m. Eastern Time and it ends around midnight Eastern Time so if you were to take this rundown and you flipped it to the left The people on the left start and the people on the right end, and of course the important people in prime time will be right in the middle. So we start off with Castro interviewed by Blitzer at 5pm then Andrew Yang at 540 then Kamala Harris at 620 pm interviewed by Aaron Burnett

17:22 Then we get Amy Klobuchar. I can't believe she's still around, she'll be at 7pm. Of course former Vice President Joe Biden will be interviewed by Pooper at 8pm followed by Bernie also by Pooper at 840 pm then Elizabeth Warren interviewed by Chris Cuomo what a bum rap that is! At 920 followed by Mayor Pete at 10pm and Don Lamon will interview Beto O'Rourke at 10.40pm Sayonara, Beto! And Cory Booker... ...at 11.20pm He's barely on the same day

18:04 So it looks like Joe and Bernie. This is going to be five hours or how many hours it is? Seven, seven hours and no... Seven hours of one hour long interviews with the various candidates about climate change It looks like its 40 minutes each time Well there'll be ads in there There's not gonna be ad free is it I think it... well, they'll break for ads after each block. I don't know. They have not mentioned this. I'm not looking at the spot card, the rate card This is a disaster And notice Tulsi's not on the list and nor is Mary Ann Williamson She'd probably be more interesting than all of them combined If you're making a show it sure would be and if you want some different noise definitely

18:58 Told actually Tulsi and Marianne Williamson Ruby to they get big at ratings these other people nobody wants to listen to any of them No, you're right. Go blather on a Bernie will probably get some numbers But who else is gonna get numbers? This is like a ratings nightmare I can't believe we got look at the overnights on that when this happens because it's gonna be a joke Yeah, I mean who wants to watch anything for seven hours on a Wednesday Isn't there NCIS or something on Wednesdays? There's gotta be. Yeah, it should be on Tuesday. It's got to be something. There's a bunch of like FBI and I think somebody else might be on Wednesday. CO team I know is but there's really actually not a lot of good programming on Wednesday so... But still! Well you know last night uh i was surfing around and it's like boom the new Beverly Hills 90210

MTV Video Music Awards and Michael Jackson Award Controversy

The 2019 MTV Video Music Awards faced criticism for removing Michael Jackson's name from the Video Vanguard Award during the broadcast. The event featured performances by Missy Elliot and was noted for its heavy use of occult and Illuminati-themed stage design.

19:53 They brought it back so I'm like clickety-click, yeah let's watch this. Within seven seconds the keeper goes...I can't watch this! It was bad. So I'm like okay i'll just turn it off Speaking of television, the Video Music Awards, I don't know if you had a chance to see them once again MTV rolling out the Illuminati fest that it usually is You're an old MTV alumnus. In fact, you were one of the first VJs and very popular in your era. Yes! And no... So you were invited to do a retrospective or something? No there was this little thing where I quit and took MTV.com with me that they still kind of hate me

20:41 But they don't just hate me. In 1989, I was asked... well it was demanded of me that i give Michael Jackson the Video Vanguard Music Award which had not existed prior to that And it was a real hassle because I had to be done in LA and there's a whole bunch of... and I really didn't want, I mean wanted to go but I had some personal stuff. Anyway they worked it out so I go there and there is this famous video with me with Tom Freston and Michael Jackson standing on an apple crate So he's you know the guy was six feet tall He was half foot taller than me But very specifically the award from then on always to be named The Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award

21:34 And probably because of the movie, the documentary they decided to just drop that. They would not say it! It was not in any announcement...it was not in any of the voiceovers there was only the video and went to what's her name? Missy. Missy Elliot who deserved it but she luckily she was nice she actually said you know I want to thank Michael Jackson But it was so lame of MTV. I mean, that was a deal! And it was part of an actual contract that had been named after him because they wanted him to perform on the awards that year So they broke their contract...I don't care if anyone cares. Um..so that was severely disappointing but man this stage was in triangles there was all oh yeah always everywhere and then they brought out the high priests

22:34 of the Illuminati, John Travolta and Queen Latifah. As far as I know both at least kind of gay? And in the Hollywood weirdness I just said, oh there they are. They're the high priest come on in and then they showed a Doritos commercial where they didn't show The actual chip which is... I saw that commercial yeah the commercial it's all about the triangle Yeah and they flashed the all-seeing eye I'm sure it's funny but But the thing that really got me is in one commercial block I saw an ad for the clear blue pregnancy test followed by teen moms 2

23:15 You can't make it any crazier. Have you ever seen Teen Moms? No, I've heard of it though It's the saddest show you've ever seen and that comes right after a pregnancy test ad? They're going crazy over there. I guess they got some creative sales guys. Well, everything was sponsored... Oh here's the Jonas Brothers with their Toyota ad! You could see the meeting. Hey what can we do man? We could get Jonas Brothers and we can get them to do something for a brand. Let me think... I know ultimate road trip playlist from The Jonas Brothers great idea i'll run it by management

Boris Johnson Prorogues Parliament Amid Brexit Crisis

Prime Minister Boris Johnson received approval from the Queen to prorogue Parliament from mid-September to mid-October. Opposition lawmakers labeled the suspension a "coup" designed to force a hard Brexit by the October 31st deadline.

boris johnson· brexit· parliament· queen elizabeth ii· prorogation

24:01 It's infantile. It is what it is sometimes. Brexit, we had a little bit of action finally? Well I've got a bunch of clips! Oh good good good good because it has been so quiet. Well let's catch people up. Actually maybe this one clip will catch people up which is that the Queen has agreed What happened was Boris Johnson decided that he wanted to do this, it's called pro-rogue. Yes. The shutdown... What is the etymology of pro-rogue? Is the word rogue a part of that? I don't know. Pro-rogue? If you look up entymology for pro-rogue, i think its just some old term referred to as shut down but the idea is

24:52 We're coming up on Brexit in October, end of October. So what we're going to do is around September 15th shut down Parliament and leave it shut down until we just have a hard Brexit. Well two weeks before... Two weeks before well yeah actually the two weeks before should be time enough but probably won't be Two weeks before we had just enough time to extend it. That's my betting on that. Yeah, I have some thoughts but let's do your stuff. Okay well you have some thoughts... Well let's see if we got a number of clips mostly from people moaning but let's listen NBC and their Brexit report

25:30 Tonight, the UK may be on the brink of a constitutional crisis. The Queen has approved Prime Minister Boris Johnson's plan to suspend Parliament from early September to mid-October. The surprise move blasted by opposition lawmakers one calling it a coup they now have less time to debate Johnson's plan for a Brexit divorce from the European Union by the October 31st deadline So there were some fake news that kind of went along with this. People were immediately saying, oh this is a hijack and... It's a coup! It's a coup! Hashtag coup Boris Johnson's coup but it's not uncommon for in fact it's quite normal for Parliament to shut down just before the Queen's speech which is kind of the State of the Union only it was and by the way pro-rogue means basically prolonged

26:22 I looked it up. That's the etymology of it, and so it's longer than it typically is And what you just heard at the beginning of that report then let me just play this beginning here tonight The UK may be on the brink of a constitutional crisis So about that constitutional crisis here is Channel 4UK The reporter standing of course on the grassy knoll there in front of Parliament. Listen to what he says. The Brexit crisis is now entering uncharted waters even for our flexible unwritten constitution It just took the Queen to give her consent and it was done. Parliament will be prorogued or suspended Flexible, unwritten Constitution? This is not in their constitution! They don't have a constitution we've got a Magna Carta

27:14 So that goes way back. Constitutionality is bullcrap! I think that was put in, the phrase constitutional crisis because it's something Americans can understand and its something the Brits can understand too because they think Trump is trying to take over the place Fair enough, fair enough. Bogus blather bogus blather yes there you go do you have analysis of this I have a couple of guys on the street moaning and groaning somewhat semi-famous people and this is off this little network this little online network called Joe which is in the UK and it seems to be

CHAPTER 11 / 45 Discussion

British Political Reactions to Parliament Suspension

UK political figures including Baron Adonis and former BBC correspondent Paul Mason expressed outrage over the suspension of Parliament. Critics argue the move bypasses democratic oversight and risks turning the UK into a "colony" of the United States under the Trump administration.

baron adonis· paul mason· bbc· jeremy corbyn· donald trump

27:58 pro-EU mechanism of some sort. And every time they have anything, there's a bunch of people waving the hell with the British flag we're waving to EU flag but let's listen to this one this is a guy who was a baron Adonis he used to be a member of parliament wait that sounds like an agenda Baron name He's there with his pal, he is no Adonis I might add. But he is there with his pal and they are bitching and moaning to the man on the street report on the network Joe. And if Brexit means No Deal you know not enough medical supplies for the country shortages of food people not being able get in or out of the country then there definitely needs to be either election or a referendum it's a huge pity this has happened

28:48 because nobody wants the Queen dragged into politics. She has to follow the advice of the government, but to be proroguing Parliament which prevents Parliament from meeting at all for five weeks during a national crisis is quite unacceptable. Hillary and I have been in parliament a long time we've been ministers no way with the governments of which were you are party have thought of offering advice like this to the Queen and it's keep creating a deep constitutional crisis which I think is only going to be resolved by Boris Johnson backing down and allowing more time for Parliament to debate these crucial matters. The referendum campaign much was made of taking back control, do you think many people realise that meant taking back control for the executive? Well no one thought that because remember all the people in favour of Brexit now told us there'll be a deal! You know indeed member Farage said Norway was a great place to be well Norway's a much more elaborate deal than even the one that Theresa May negotiated

29:37 What is this Norway nonsense? I don't know what they threw that in. They're throwing the stuff in there very desperate. Everyone's scared to death and that's why they're promoting the second referendum, of course. And then they keep doing it. Now this other guy is actually more interesting and this is the clip Paul Mason This guy was a BBC economics correspondent and this shows you the kind of nature of the BBC being a stooge for the EU The guy heads up something called Europe now or something like this Some organization which is promoting you know, Europe taking over the world aka Germany and he comes on and he's worse than this other guy. He is a... And again, he is an ex-BBC

30:21 Correspondent, he was an economics guy. And he just goes off. I think his lack of a popular mandate makes the decision to parogue even more suspect It's not even suspect it is so clearly programmed as soon as the MP said we're going to unite to stop you He's pulling the plug on Parliament It's a plan. Whose plan is it? It's the plan of the elite, it's the plan of the billionaires behind Trump... ...the dark money behind Nigel Farage! It's a plan that's being executed and you know I know people just don't would rather be doing something else so would I yeah it's still somewhere in my head but it's at times like this that your democracy can be stolen from under your nose

31:01 Trump waded in today. What's your response to him saying that Jeremy? Trump is my response, fuck Trump! Fuck Trump full stop exclamation mark underline I mean the guy doesn't understand democracy You know what right has he to dictate the outcome of a British political crisis But of course that's what it is but the whole design this for me by the way This is no longer about Brexit With or without Brexit, leave or remain. The issue is are we going to become a colony of Trump's America and lose our democracy? Or not? That's fantastic! Since he was mentioned in the clip, I have Nigel Farage who of course is part of these billionaires and the money billionaires behind him. Black money? Well he says something very different... Well here's a big dilemma you know how do we leave the European Union on 31st October? Do we leave with a clean break Brexit or do we leave with

CHAPTER 12 / 45 Discussion

Nigel Farage Advocates for Clean Break Brexit

Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage called for a "clean break" from the European Union rather than an amended withdrawal agreement. Farage argued that total independence would trigger a flood of foreign investment into the United Kingdom.

nigel farage· brexit party· clean break· trade deal· european union

31:59 the withdrawal agreement that Mrs May put to Parliament three times and was three times rejected. And here's my concern, much as I think Boris has brought great optimism and energy to the job things that President Trump has identified it looks like He wants to go for an amended form of that withdrawal agreement and that would still leave us very tied to EU rules, and would mean we could not do a trade deal with the USA for several years to come. So what I'm doing as leader of the Brexit party is putting as much pressure on Boris as possible to say come on! We've spent over three years waiting to do this let's just get out with a clean break Brexit and get on with our lives

32:41 I actually had two clips, if you don't mind. I'll just play this about the same length where he actually talks about the billionaires. Stop before you play it. The term clean break Brexit is really a good term instead of hard Brexit. Clean break? It's much friendlier. kind of re... it should change their nomenclature. I think clean break is a very positive, it sounds very positive sounds good well that's what you want in an interrelationship yeah we just we had a clean break

33:17 Yeah. What was the... Had a hard break, hard sounds difficult, hard means difficult It's meant to sound difficult I'm sure someone labored over that term Yes and they should change it to clean break if they're Brexiteers Let's talk about what'll happen after the break I spent 20 years working in financial markets before getting involved in politics and very often you get short-term hysteria in markets And it's always the old thing isn't it? You know, sell the rumour by the fact. And I think frankly...I think frankly once the UK has left the European Union if we do it in a clean way I think foreign and direct investment will flood into the United Kingdom because we'll be free!

33:57 of Greece and Italy, and all these economies that are doing so badly. And the arguments against leaving are those from the status quo, those from the big firms who were doing very well thank you, you know? Life's always like that! You always get the big and the rich want no change actually the time has come not just economically to change but democratically why should my country be run by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels I wanna be free Okay, he wants to be free. I want to break free Yeah, well, I don't think it's gonna happen by October 31st. It's not going to happen. You think I'm sliced tomatoes? Yes, it's not gonna happen. I don't think so either because it hasn't happened yet and they put it off and put it off and put it off and put it off...I mean I'd like to see that miss about time we got this off the table but they just don't want to do it

EU Pet Passport Scheme and Brexit Travel Restrictions

A "no-deal" Brexit threatens the existing European Union pet passport scheme, potentially requiring six-month quarantines for animals traveling between the UK and the continent. Personal anecdotes highlight the historical difficulty of moving pets across borders without proper documentation.

34:56 afraid. Well, you know they're using the wrong messaging and I think that if you really don't want this to happen or let's just say you don't want a clean break for a no-deal Brexit... You know it was on PBS well actually it was written on PBS I wish had a clip would have been funnier All across Europe, families and couples on vacation are seamlessly crossing borders with their beloved dog thanks to the European Union pet passport scheme. Now as a no-deal Brexit looms as a possibility for Britain free pet travel is under threat! Dogs or people too?

35:38 That's right. Yeah, your pooch if you want to travel with your pooch when you come back it'll have to go into six-month quarantine I mean it's not really what will happen in reality but man what a scary thing to use they should be hypin that It's great! Well didn't the British always have restrictions on bringing dogs into the country? Well if you recall When we moved from New Jersey back to Europe, we wanted to move to the UK directly but we couldn't because we had six pets. Three dogs three cats thank you very much and so we had to be stay in... Why do you hate dogs? We had to stay in an EU country for at least six months which was great because in the Netherlands it was no problem And then yeah we flew them over on a small plane

36:30 My buddies flew us over and the next day Defra I think they're called were there with six cages. Yeah, we here to take your animals away because you didn't declare them I said would they've been in a European country for it? No no You have to they have to be chipped I said but they are chipped well you have to have the paperwork and They came back And they were ready to put these animals in the cages and I had called actually was doctor in Belgium and I told him falsified that shit and send it over by fax right away, and he did. Thank goodness! And so they were able to stay with the- because they all had the chip but The passport scheme will fall apart just like the regular passport scheme I guess...I don't know we'll never see it cuz it's not gonna happen I don't see this happening for some reason It just doesn't feel like it will ever take place Well if it does the markets gonna collapse

37:30 All markets, like the financial markets? Well I think it's going to be temporary but it is going to be one of those flash crashes. Yeah because people go nuts oh my god did actually happen what are we gonna do I don't know I can take a chance get out of my stock so I'm sure that all the scenarios have been baked in and they're ready to pull triggers at any moment. No no they aren't baked in because everybody has got your attitude It's not gonna happen just not gonna happen this ain't happening So, or they're gonna have a redo which is like my I'm still sticking with the redo. Hmm and do another election? I mean that's what your original thesis is yes yep Do-over well that's not the thesis That's the European way there's a difference to you wages beat you down so there's a controversy amongst Americans Americans

Dave Chappelle Netflix Special Sticks to Structured Comedy

Dave Chappelle's new Netflix special, "Sticks & Stones," features a highly structured comedic approach with specific callbacks. One notable bit involves an impression of the founding fathers designed to trap the audience in a racial mindset before subverting their expectations.

dave chappelle· netflix· stand-up comedy· founding fathers· social commentary

38:25 And this will then, to some degree I think anyone in another country can follow along with the controversy. This is the Dave Chappelle special on Netflix which has just been a phenomenal spectacle to view the feedback. I mean, I know you saw it because you posted about it on the tweeters and now Scott Adams...I think in relation to that or maybe you tagged him or something this was not..I disagree that you know Scott Adams says one out of three people have no sense of humor while that might be true I think the numbers one out of four well all that might be true

39:08 This was a dimensional problem and a big one. In fact, I viewed it in mixed dimension company and it was very... That's great you had that opportunity It was very uncomfortable Well actually I did too! I did too because I watched it with Jay's fiance Nick and he is a younger millennial Did he like it? He loved it. Okay, yeah well you didn't have a good mix then he's clearly not dimension B I didn't say age difference as i said mixed dimensions and I think that's where the difference is and uh...I thought it was fantastic there I laughed quite a lot watching it

39:50 And I'm not gonna deconstruct Dave Chappelle, but I do think there was a moment that was just so beautiful in its simplicity. It was a great joke and he set it up really well by completely preparing you to such a degree that the audience actually just shouted out their bias. Well, here I'll play this for you This is the impressions that I feel kind of well he it kind of got the whole ball rolling where people got mad Tonight i'm gonna do something that i'm not particularly good at but then I like to do tonight I'm going to try some impressions out only got two The first impression's kinda dumb but I like it this my impression you ready? This is my impression

40:48 of the founding fathers of America when the Constitution was being written. You ready? Here it goes. Hurry up and finish that constitution, nigger! I'm trying to get some sleep." Now... now that's brilliant to set people up into a racist mindset you know i found it to be extremely smart what he did followed by this It's not bad right?! All right the next one The next one is a little harder

41:31 I want to see if you can guess who it is. I'm doing an impression of all right Let me get in the character yeah, guess who it is though Okay here goes Hey If you do anything wrong your life and I find out about it I'm gonna try to take everything away from you And I don't care what I find out could be today tomorrow 15 20 years from now if I find out your fucking finished Who's that? That's you! That's what the audience sounds like to me. That's why I don't be coming out doing comedy all the time, because y'all niggas is the worst motherfuckers I've ever tried to entertain in my fucking life

42:21 So it was so beautiful that, and I isolated that one little bit in the middle where he says who do i sound like? And you can hear multiple people in the audience. Who's there? Trump! It's Trump! It's right Trump!! No, it's you. There was a number of people in the audience that said Trump. But I think that trick by setting you into a complete racial mindset just thinking about oh my god those guys were so racist and of course you're thinking about Constitution and you're thinking about presidents... So he put that into your mind and I think He made people think that and it worked, and then he said no but that's you. And I think that really was a blow! I think that really hurt some people's feelings! It is possible... One of the things about that particular bit- I've watched a lot of Chappelle and his comedy has always been unstructured this was an extremely structured act

CHAPTER 15 / 45 Discussion

Chappelle Transgender Jokes and Daphne Anecdote

Dave Chappelle addressed accusations of transphobia by sharing an anecdote about a transgender woman named Daphne who attended his shows. The story, included in bonus footage, explores the relationship between comedy, normalization, and the "alphabet people" community.

dave chappelle· transgender· daphne· identity politics· comedy

43:25 It had a beginning, middle and end. It had callbacks right where they belong. And it finished with the callback! And it was structured way more than anything I've ever seen him do before which is one of the reasons why I kind of liked it... More than usual. Other people say, well, see how they're groused? A lot of people are grousing about it but ummm....I don't know. Well there were two things that got me off guard. There were two things That I think really... Here's what I heard from the Mixed Dimension. He's transphobic! Everyone, he's transphobic and he did and i'm so proud of this show how many years have we been talking about what he calls the alphabet people but we call LGBTQQIAPPK

44:16 And that they don't get along, that it's not a community. And so he took that basic premise and turned into I thought was very funny joke about driving everybody in the alphabet car. But the only thing I've heard and read consistently is he's transphobic! He's a transphobic! And because he did, he messed with everybody including his own wife but also his own celebrity and fame and his kids. I think that...and you posted a link to a review where the reviewer seemed somewhat upset- and the reviews are just crazy social justice warrior stuff This particular reviewer was rather obsessed with how much money he has or how much money he made and I figured it out

45:08 It's because of his privilege. But it doesn't compute to say, well the black man has white privilege! Because that is basically what he has and so that came out in the wash as, uhhhh, he's rich, uhhhhh. It was unbelievable...and did you see the bonus footage? Did you know there was 20 minutes of bonus footage? I actually we killed it after that so i have to go watch the bonus footage like in the next day or two. So there was 20 minutes of bonus footage which was an easter egg you had to let it play all the way out and then, it wasn't...it looked like it was ending

45:47 If you looked on the timeline, but then it flipped to another playlist item and that was this 20 minutes right after his the same performance I think on Broadway and he sat down and talked to people and He had one story of how he was prepping for the comedy, for this particular show and he was doing some smaller gigs in one like 200 seat I think it's San Francisco. Says one woman got really angry at one of his jokes and then as she is leaving says well I'm sorry I got raped you know she was really upset and crying

46:25 You know, it really put the whole place in a downer. But at the same show he said it was interesting that there was a trans woman there and she was laughing and laughing... I mean I have the clip of him saying if you want to hear maybe he'll explain it better Because there was something really beautiful that came out of that which I think he would have been better to put it in this full special Same show. There's a trans woman sitting in the audience This is true story It was like a few weeks ago, I did six shows that weekend this trans woman came to four of them calls herself Daphne

47:01 Man, this chick Daphne was in there cracking the fuck up at everything I said about everybody. It was amazing! She was laughing and it was fun to watch her laugh You could tell she was letting go with something that was heavy And she'd throw her head back and if she smiled with all her teeth She was having a great time The more fun she had, I felt bad because I knew I had some trans jokes on low. And i thought to myself maybe, I shouldn't say these jokes because I don't want to like fuck her evening up she's having so much fun but then I thought to myself if I can't say it in front of us should I say this shit at all? So I let a rip

47:45 To my surprise, Daphne laughed harder at the trans jokes than anybody in the room. In fact everybody in the room would look at her to make sure it was okay So now I go out of the dressing room and like you can see all the staff is there, cleaning the club up. The audience had gone and sitting at the bar by herself was Daphne! And she's like hey Dave come join me for a drink? And I don't want her to think that I'm transphobic or nothing so I'm like fuck it, I guess I could have at least a drink. We get some tequila we're sitting here and she was fucking cool turns out that Daphne wants to be a comedian

48:29 She was asking for advice and I told her advice and all that shit. And then she says to me, she says boy you sure do get a bad rap for your trans jokes. I said Daphne thank you but you don't have to say that. I hope I didn't offend you. She goes noooo...no no no. She said in fact I read about you in the New York Times. I said you did? She said, yeah. I thought it was interesting that they blamed you for R Kelly They said you normalized them for telling jokes about him. Yeah, yeah they said that she goes I wonder why they never said that she normalize transgenders by telling jokes about us And I've never thought about that it's never occurred to me and we started making out

49:17 And I thought that was really a beautiful thing. And I bet it happened just like that, but i don't see trans people up in arms yelling...I see people who just can't find any other group that they can call victims than trans. Yeah this is the classic identity politics which I explained in an essay that was sent around A lot of people liked that That was good. It was a very good essay, it was a very good essay you want to summarize or just say hey people go read it? Well no its actually really something that you need to read because it stems from the thought that you've changed kind of Marxist concept of oppressed and oppressor

Interdimensional Humor and Generational Gaps in Comedy

A discussion on the generational divide in humor notes that younger millennials often find edgy comedy offensive rather than funny. This "interdimensional" gap suggests that modern audiences have different thresholds for non-threatening versus confrontational humor.

millennials· humor· dave chappelle· social justice· dimensionality

50:04 into various little groups where you always have a someone's being oppressed and some was the oppressor were it boils down to the white male. The cisgendered white male is the maximum oppressors, he's oppressing everybody and he must be dealt with somehow by I don't know how you do anything about it but it just very interesting. Castration! Yeah well... Start there? These horrible white males So yeah, I have to go watch that and the bonus was some good stuff in there. Some good stuff Yeah Anyway Let's get back to this thing you were talking about which is that you had a dual audience who was in the audience That you were watching it with you watched it with With one of your daughter-in-law? Yeah, it's called the stepdaughter That's right stepdaughter. Yeah. Yeah she didn't find her funny How old is she 22

51:04 So she's a younger, she's kind of in between or she's a young...oh she's a younger millennial. Younger millennial yeah and She's 22 so I didn't find any humor it No! I don't think she thought it was very funny and she said he comes across as very transphobic we didn't really have any conversation about it but I was laughing and I didn't see any laughter and I felt bad It's like wow How what is that and she has humor? She's not a humorless person. I just what is the what has happened And she hates black men no, I think also didn't know exposure to by the way the dead joke too Which I just said takes the transgender Complaining to another level yeah It's just trying to let that one go But sorry you weren't gonna get away with it well You know but I think that

51:58 She may not have had any exposure to this type of urban-ish humor. Not even urban, just blatant in your face comedy which let's be honest has kind of been impossible for comics to do for the past what five years at least? No no 10 Well there you go so it it's a complete different differently formed funny bone And if you go and look into that guy who wrote that article in Patch, who hated the act. He does describe his favorite comic which is a guy from Saturday Night Live who does extremely weird dry comedy. Did you see? It's Shape's Comedy! Interestingly I...

52:46 watched a little bit of that and I didn't find it that funny. I didn't find it funny at all, there was nothing humorous about it So that's dimensionality! Why did he find that super-funny? And why did we not? It was nonthreatening humor for starters so that may have something to do with it...it's very strange Dimensionally you should find out whether your stepdaughter likes THAT guy Good idea That's a good idea because it's interesting to understand or at least deconstruct and try and see what the things are. You know, it's... But I guess if it boils right down to it If Dave Chappelle were white this show would not be on Netflix ever in a million years! I think that's the bottom line so it comes down to some- I'm not convinced of that. Ooh, I am

53:45 That's why he gets on the stage is because he's member of an oppressed group you see. Yeah, I see... You said you see? I know! I was using that on purpose. I would think..I've seen other acts that are pretty out there on Netflix Okay Well, anyway. I find it interesting... That's a new segment of the show! Entertainment reviewing! Yes inter-interdimensional so instead of intersectionality we need interdimensionality We demand more interdimensionality in our country It was definitely educational

HBO Succession Series and Frequency Illusion

The HBO series "Succession," modeled after the Murdoch family, recently featured the phrase "pump the brakes," illustrating the frequency illusion. This phenomenon occurs when a person notices a specific word or object, like a Toyota Prius, everywhere after recently learning about it.

hbo· succession· murdoch family· frequency illusion· prius

54:32 What, the Dave Chappelle special was educational? No it wasn't. Yeah I think so. I didn't clip it but uh...I was watching Succession on HBO. Is that HBO yeah you know the show Succession Is that the one with, what's his name? It's kind of like a Murdoch family and... Oh it's not that. I was thinking of the one where the president got killed in No no this is a very good series i like it a lot This is the second season and its modeled after The Murdochs What was the family that used to own The New York Times

55:16 Soulsburgers? Yes, yes. And you know there it's really deep but anyway in that show I heard the phrase pump the brakes and that was Sunday right after you said it on the show like holy crap! Pumped the brakes there it is first sighting in the wild Well you may have just missed it before well a lot of these things happen to me and maybe happens everybody We bring out of a phrase that we find offensive and then you say, well I've never heard that before. When in fact you've heard it over and over again, you just haven't noticed it

55:52 Well, that's possible and this is of course what the Noah Jenner show does to a lot of people. It's like all of sudden it's like having a 10-speed bike you see all those bikes driving around oh yeah I've never noticed that before. This is true! Never noticed that before Yeah or maybe you start looking for Priuses first time...I used have a game I used to play with my daughter and say we'd make a guess on how many Priuses from going from the house to a store just about a mile maybe. How many Priuses we'd see on the way? I think, I remember you talking about this on the show years ago. Yeah it's like hundreds of them! Well speaking of things you notice when you're looking for them... The unhoused in Austin Texas have increased their visibility dramatically since the city ordinance

CHAPTER 18 / 45 Discussion

Austin Homelessness Ordinance and Royal Blue Grocery

Changes to Austin's homelessness ordinances have led to increased camping on public sidewalks, causing safety concerns for local businesses like Royal Blue Grocery. While the city considers new shelter locations, many individuals prefer camping near the Austin Resource Center for the Homeless (ARCH) due to community ties and proximity to services.

austin· homelessness· steve adler· royal blue grocery· the arch

56:44 changed. This has been about six weeks and of course we remember our Mayor Adler who said that, well what are you worried about? We'll take a look in six weeks and before the six weeks were up they were already talking about maybe changing something today 6 p.m to 8 p.m at LBJ Auditorium I think there's a huge town hall The university is very pissed off because they do not want camping on the perimeter of the campus, which is now allowed and students are being harassed who are coming on campus. But we have a lot of reports from Austin I only want to share two

57:26 Our main drag in Austin is Congress Avenue. It goes straight up to the Capitol, you see the Capitol right there in front of you beautiful building extra large sidewalks and as we've discussed previously You're now allowed to camp on the sidewalk One of my favorite shops, which we talked about on the show before is Royal Blue Grocer. It's the downtown grocery store They overcharge on a lot of stuff because of course you can just walk to it particularly alcoholic beverages so they're pure ripoff but it's uh...it's a high-end grocery store where you can get pre packaged stuff and no not really anything to cook but some produce and just it's for rich people

58:11 So, they are typically open until midnight and they're now thinking of closing down at 6pm. With change comes issues We just we consider ourselves a compact urban market. We're a little different than a convenience store, but also not a full-size grocery store and we kind of fit in the middle." Craig Staley is all too familiar with the issues of the change in homelessness ordinances inside his store Royal Blue Grocery. We're talking about the challenges of operating a business on Congress Avenue with changes to the ordinances were really feeling

58:49 a big difference down here. We have a lot of sympathy for the people that live out here and we take care of a lot of them who feed them in our stores they come in with money and buy things from us 1178 is your total thank you the changes and the things that are happening down here having us consider closing at 6 p.m. every night so we don't have to deal with what's going on in the evenings because it gets pretty rough down here We'll have folks take something from our store and argue with us on the way out I can help you right here if you're ready And that's a big change Wasn't always like that and we have a pretty seasoned staff that works the night shifts here Yeah, there's this specific crew that works here at night. But when they're coming to us telling us I no longer feel safe Oh yeah Definitely, that's back the big cause of concern for us So while they're staying open right now till midnight, hey go unless something changes outside the store

59:38 He'll solve the issue himself. the tweet from Austin Skid Row, at Austin Skid Row. And they showed this whole perimeter of tents in downtown Austin and I just wanted to explain what's going on there because it very interesting. This is right by The Arch that is the Austin Resource Center for the homeless. It is the only shelter that we have at the moment in Austin, downtown Austin

1:00:21 And they have your typical shelter facilities inside and this is run by a nonprofit, and they get lots of money. They have lots of people who serve their clients But the people on the outside are there for a reason. It's a small gesture to begin to break down the walls keeping dozens of homeless people from seeking services at The Austin Resource Center for the Homeless With just the number of individuals that we're seeing on the outside and folks who have been here for long periods of time, that we've got a situation that soon could get a lot bigger

1:00:58 Inside, beds food laundry showers case management and a cold place to relax. Outside ever growing chaos. Even with mounting safety concerns about 80% of people living on the outside of the building never go in And that's not because we're a capacity to turn anybody away. It's just a choice to not come in Greg McCormick executive director of front steps the nonprofit that runs the arch says building a new shelter in South Austin Likely won't make a dent here. I think it's great another hundred beds will really help I don't think from my engagement of the individuals outside the Arch

1:01:45 that many of those individuals outside will go to that shelter. McCormick says he finds many people living outside the Arch have developed their own community there and after years in the elements, they're more comfortable here If they're going to go inside somewhere, then we need more shelter space. If they are not going to go inside somewhere then we have to look at other solutions and I think that those small solutions are gonna have to be outside Tuesday Austin Mayor Steve Adler proposed placing camping restrictions on certain busy streets and at specific locations the arch was one of them That's an unsafe place so it is something that i think needs to be a relatively high priority

1:02:25 To the degree that we don't let people sit and lie near the arch, but we haven't provided homes or places for them to go. Then all were doing is moving people from one place to another place in June City Council asked the city manager to consider at least 10 locations one in each council district that would allow camping with a manager came back and said is this focus on getting housing over the city rather than focusing on an open camping area. So this is a disaster! People don't know, they showed the inside of the shelter and it looks kind of like... Cruel Yes It looks like submarine berths you know I wouldn't want to be in there either it's dangerous we all know that housing shelters can be very dangerous particularly for women

1:03:17 But these people really want to be on the street for a number of reasons. One is that's where the drugs are You know, and so they want to camp around where the drugs are. And where they're allowed to! I don't know what's going to happen today but it would be quite sad if they just continued to roll on this... well we have to make affordable housing It'll take years- They haven't built anything! It will take years before they build something after they've appropriated land etc How about a big football field where everyone's allowed to go? You can only imagine the chaos that will create. Well, I mean I could say the same for San Francisco or Los Angeles. That's what i've been saying!

CHAPTER 19 / 45 Discussion

Los Angeles Homelessness and Public Health Risks

Residents in Los Angeles are reporting severe public health issues related to homeless encampments, including rodent infestations and airborne pathogens from dried waste. Experts like Dr. Drew Pinsky have warned about the potential for disease outbreaks in the L.A. basin due to these conditions.

los angeles· homelessness· public health· typhus· dr. drew

1:04:05 And the worst, I guess it's getting even worse in Los Angeles where the population of the homeless has increased to such an extreme ever since it became you know, it was noted as a problem. I think is up to almost 60 thousand people and I have a clip, might as well play it There's a woman bitching about the homeless living right across the street from her and if in a pretty good neighborhood What am I looking for here? Woman Oh, woman! I have a huge rat's nest right across the street from where I live. Where there is homeless encampment? I can't shop downtown. I literally get sick. Actually have cold right now because i was across the street talking to homeless women for about half an hour and I'm literally like...I feel ill after just talking her because I was surrounded by trash rats and fecal matter in urine Wait a minute this is right across the street from where you live

1:04:54 I think that this misplaced compassion is the problem. You...I hate to say it, but you need to stigmatize homelessness! People need to feel like they have to pull themselves up out of something and if they have substance abuse issues which i think is a massive factor The doctor I talked to Dr. Drew says so why not? But, and he does have experience with substance abuse. We've got to do something other than well, they're homeless because now people who are housed are running into trouble you want to change something with your shed? You can go get 14 permits maybe

1:05:45 You want to camp right on Congress? Go ahead, do whatever you want. And poop on the streets while you're at it! We had our first pooping video go viral from Austin on The Corner In fact I got a note from Sir Mark Hall he's thinking about... I'm telling ya, San Francisco leads the way It's true. You guys are always on the leading tip of popular culture Yep, sir Mark Hall said that he's thinking of starting a nonprofit He wants to call it Austin poop action and the first thing The nonprofit will do is hold a public poop in at City Hall and I am in you know No, we're gonna get the guy from build-the-dome to lead the movement Of course will have him poop but I think

1:06:34 This is, it's really really really sad but I have hope for Austin because people are really pushing back. Particularly downtown but its everywhere John. It's everywhere. Well they're not pushing back so much on the west coast I mean, of course Austin did welcome the homeless with open arms. Of course! Like idiots. Of course we did. Like idiots and so the homeless deserve to go there because they're going to be welcomed with open arms and that's not happening here but at the same time they're not doing anything about it besides let's say hiring more people to clean up poop

1:07:13 human poop on the streets. They got a team of what, like seven? It's almost... They've got more than that now. And Los Angeles apparently it's worse because in that report about the woman's bitching him on it turns out that this is part of excuse me a bigger report Because LA's got a different climate than up here where it's pretty moist. So the poop stays in a non-fryable situation for a long time. It's moldable, but not fryable! But the poop in the L.A. basin is hotter down there and the poop will dry out and then powder and turn into dust... And then all of the pathogens and everything get pushed into the air and you breathe it. That's what this woman is sick she says

1:07:54 just from being around it, because there's poop everywhere. And rats is the other thing that's a problem which is the rodent infestation which is taking place in Los Angeles and I'm sure will be a problem then because rodents say you know as far as they're concerned this great. This is NPR with Poop Talk John C. Dvorak and Adam Curry discuss feces Yeah so there ya have it yeah well everyone's got problems Amsterdam is out of control They used to have a, not with homelessness but with tourists. They used to have a Bureau of Tourism. It has been... Sure! All major tourist attractions do. Oh it has been renamed Bureau of Tourism Management they are turning people away

You know everything has shut down throughout all of Europe really all the fun has gone and Amsterdam which never legalized marijuana It's harder and harder to buy it in the coffee shops because once you die or you sell the coffee shop it can never be a coffee shop again so that's diminished The red light district- And a coffee shop is the moniker for a pot shop Yes I'm sorry The red light district has been almost shuttered. They have one street left and now they want to even close the curtains it was it was a fun tourist attraction but you know what you get is tourists coming in drinking too much eating the brownies smoking the weed puking on everyone's plant holders peeing in mailboxes making a general nuisance we live there

1:09:38 in 2000 and it was already a problem. It is just out of control so there's stuff going on, maybe we just have too many people maybe AOCs onto something less people maybe tourism is out mass immigration is in its the way of the world everybody And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea an unwritten Constitution John C Devorak Well in a morning you mr. Adam Curry in the morning all their boots on the ground feet in the air subs in the water and All the names tonight's out there Hey trolls in the morning, too Y'all good deceive all day in the troll room no agenda stream calm incredibly important

1:10:26 element of our show, I would say. It feels so good to be live and have live feedback something that even you could barely even get back in the radio days unless you had someone call in as caller 100 here You just have a continuous roll of people calling us names and saying are ya happy now with Austin? Huh what do you think of Austin huh? It's in New San Francisco Thank you That's what we're talking about So they're trolling it is good because it keeps me on my toes You know, it's something that gives me a little aggravation from time to time which is appreciated. Especially during the Dave Chappelle segment quite embarrassing I hope there is no log Noagendastream.com you can either listen to our show but 24 hours a day 7 days a week there is something going on and join fellow trolls and have a troll fest Also in the morning for the artists of episode 1167 this is Darren O'Neal

1:11:20 And, let me see... We had a hard time I recall. Let's go back to the art generator. Noagendaartgenerator.com There was a lot of.... What did we have? No! Actually had almost nothing We have a couple pieces. I liked yeah, but not really like the Darren O'Neill piece And I liked one other piece on there. Yeah, it was unusable It was the get slogan here was the bumper stickers the Chinese bumper stickers No that wasn't it now you're gonna have to make me do work yep Sorry let's see what you would've I think I'm going they're now that was the one That was know that was very little there

1:12:04 And I remember... I liked the taco truck. Okay, and that's-I liked the taco truck and I liked the Noah Jenner University those are two I liked You said the taco truck was no good and it was bleh, you wouldn't do it. And then you said that you didn't like the other one either and then turned out we couldn't find anything else so due to fall back on the No Agenda University sweatshirt which by the way Darren O'Neill is selling that sweatshirt Yes I was going to mention that Where is he selling that? On Teespring...I think Let me just double check

1:12:46 Wow, I got a whole page. I'll put the link in the show notes. It's... And then the reason—I like the art because it did refer to Adrian Peterson. I said that! This has happened before. Jordan Peterson's apparent starting of a university is some sort of gimmick. I don't know what he's up to. Well it's teespring dot com slash noagendauniversity and I see here Rush shipping available? Thank you very much, Darino. I don't know that he's sold any to Rush Limbaugh has he? Thank you very much Darino for your support of the show this is always appreciated because we know that people are doing this during the show and have only a chance of getting chosen so anyone doing that is

Because its dangerous for your health

1:16:48 No, you're talking about the photo of the kids standing in front of the tank. No the photo after the tank rolled over the kids You've ever seen that one? It's probably about 18 19 people some of them chopped in half by the tank and lay in there it's not very It's not very detailed or yeah, he can zoom in okay. It's gruesome Yeah So that would be against Twitter's It says health and safety teams terms of service. You know, I reported somebody finally and I sent a tweet out.

Fiddler, Fiddler here it is now this is a handwritten note and it's quite long and it's written in a handwriting that looks a lot like Matt Groening he does put the jingle request at the beginning Obama A-Team Space Force and Pew Pew So there you have it. I am happy to announce that this donation will allow me to finally join the illustrious round table of knights and dames, you might as well see if he's on the list, I don't know. I was first hit in the mouth on show 666 while spending two months in Turkey. Aha! You had been discussing Gulen and my friend wanted to bring more information to light. I started asking questions and was reportedly asked if I was CIA? I knew right away I'd found a podcast for me

1:19:37 Anyway, what was the third jingle he had? Team America pew-pew. And what was the third one? Space Force. Oh space force got okay that which was the second one in a list This is a couple years before the coup and the rest of the world started hearing his name That's when I realized that Adam was from the future in 2015 when the migrant caravan started marching across Europe I remember Adam stating that this would be the end of the EU Once again, future Adam was correct as we continue to watch the EU slowly implode. While I often don't agree with many of your positions...I don't think people need to say that because who would? You know what it's kind of- What is- I don't even agree with Adam! I mean i don't agree with my wife sometimes. I mean why do people- It's a kinda you know what it is? It's a kind of hedge virtue signal, I'm convinced

1:20:28 It's to say, I've listened to those guys. Of course they don't agree with everything they say! Yeah you're right that's exactly it's in fact that... You don't have to say another word that's exactly what it is so people stop doing it. I love that you challenge us to think about research topics research topics and not just the spoon fed information from the media and society at large. Your podcast helped me to call BS on my friends in both universes, keep up the good work. One small complaint though... Here we go. Small, small complaint. The small complaint yeah? Eight or ten episodes back you did what you said you would never do!

1:21:13 You opened up the alternate universe machine as part of the end of the show mix and just left us there. I did? I don't remember that either That, and the fact that you do this show twice a week on Thursdays has me a little messed-up lately It says please night me He's going to church on Wednesday Something is wrong So see if he is on the list should be knighted as Sir Ichabod of The Bike Path Gorbal Yes, he is on the list. This is the good news and... It would be a... this I know is not on the list. It would be appreciated if Adam could please make sure that there are extra helpings of bong hits and bourbon at the round table as i have never been able to develop the taste for mutton and mead You got it, extra hit-extra-extra bong hits some bourbon at the table? I'll take care of that And I would like to say that although I sometimes don't agree with my beautiful wife I soon see the error of my ways Sorry

CHAPTER 23 / 45 Discussion

Associate Executive Producer Credits and Media Systems

Associate Executive Producers provided feedback on topics ranging from wealth taxes to the repetitive nature of mainstream media systems. The discussion contrasted the independent podcasting model with the "robotic" daily schedules of cable news hosts like Sean Hannity.

cpa· wealth tax· massachusetts· sean hannity· tucker carlson

1:22:21 Yeah, when I don't agree with her. I soon see the error of my ways. I'll bet you do Remember candles bathtub could be careful Anyway, he says he's in Seattle.

A special three... a special commendation to you both for what must have been endless painful hours of watching and listening to prattling pundits." biased news readers, and dim-witted polls as you develop show content. A particularly unenviable occupation! My sincere thanks for taking that task on. And four... Finally a shout out to Sir Cal whose magic elixir has brought relief to my aching joints

1:25:00 The lavender blossom salve is doing it again, huh? That's what it does. Fantastic. He would like a Putin don't worry be happy warm regards Gene Morpheus and then he sends a piece of PS John I got some thoughts on the wealth tax. Don't worry, be happy. Okay, Anonymous $234.56 otherwise known as 23456 ITM and such no jingles no karma please keep me anonymous I got so much love for you guys and the entire No Agenda family it's out of control!

1:29:06 And that is our list of associate executive producers and executive producers for show 1168. All right, thank you Execs and Associate Execs it is appreciated as always It's the only way this system... You know, it's crazy I tried to teach this Dutch guy Robert Jensen who talked about a big famous TV guy he started doing a podcast and his podcast really took off And now he's back, it's like I'm gonna start doing daily now and still going to do stuff on video at the same time. And I'm gonna have sponsors like what are you doing? This is the only way to go! Well there is a thing called over extending yourself and if your not in this system

1:29:56 Like for example, I think there's a number of people on the TV and the radio that do a lot of radio work. They'd do us daily show Rush Limbaugh would be a guy who does a daily show but better example is Sean Hannity he just three hours of radio a day every day except at weekends and then he doesn't one hour TV show at night. You know what? He sounds like a robot! I know i couldn't do anything like this but it's... But he's in his system. He's in a system but it's also boring It's a boring system. He's just a robot and it's just... It's boring because you have to fill three hours a day on radio, and then you carry that stuff over into TV. He sucks! I can't watch him. Yeah

1:30:39 Can't well I watched Tucker Carlson. I got to talk about that right after we thank everybody once again and Know that these credits these executive producer credits associate executive producer credits no different than the credit you saw on the Dave Chappelle show special Exactly the same it's people who helped help the show in this case You finance it and that is highly appreciated And I look forward to thanking more people in our second segment, and you can always support us for The Sunday Show it falls on the second Thursday of the week by going to Dvorak.org slash N-A Yes, you too can astound your friends and family with your knowledge of Dave Chappelle just propagating Our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Order Shut up! Sleep

Tucker Carlson Marijuana and Violence Segment Critique

Tucker Carlson faced criticism for a segment attempting to link marijuana use to mass shootings and violent behavior. Critics argue the segment used "cheap tricks" by conflating the Dayton shooter's drug use with general cannabis consumption without supporting evidence from toxicology reports.

tucker carlson· fox news· marijuana· alex berenson· toxicology

1:31:35 So I'm watching Fox News. Typically, well...I usually watch MSNBC during the day and when i say watch that means I have it streaming on my hearing aids so I can walk around the house and do things but then I can always look over and see what's going on Wow yeah but I have no... It's what we do. It's what I do You have to monitor this stuff and understand where people are coming from I will switch over, I switch over to CNN a little bit more often these days because MSNBC you might just call it election TV they have nothing else but election stuff CNN does the same But they'll break away Oh let's take a look at Brexit for a second So at least you had the idea that if something horrible happened then

1:32:25 I'll hear about it. And Fox, um...I might watch The Five for a second in the afternoon to see who's in the leg seat and who is in the Democrat seat which surprisingly often is Donna Brazile which is a head-scratcher in general and then I'd like to watch Tucker Carlson because he has some interesting guests on but last night holy crap! He did something that really pissed me off actually scratch that He always does stories about marijuana that make me angry. And not so much the content of the story, but he has the same damn file footage and I've bitched about it before you see close up in little box in the screen in the corner while here The Guest is talking You see some guy with these nasty yellow fungus ridden nails rolling up a joint- shittiest joint you've ever seen

1:33:20 It burns holes halfway down, then the guy licks his fingers with a big saliva drop and it's like trying to stop the burning. That is not how you consume the holy herb! He took it one step further yesterday, brought on an incredible narc who wrote a book about the topic and to me it was like I'm sorry this is nuts. In the aftermath of the mass shootings in El Paso and Dayton the country scrambled justifiably to understand what might have motivated the killers ideology seemed like an obvious reason and we picked that apart at some length But could it just be part of the answer? A toxicology report on the Dayton shooter, for example revealed that he had several drugs in his system including cocaine and Xanax. He was also known to be a longtime user of marijuana

1:34:08 Again, Tucker is for some reason very anti-marijuana. You just heard him set this up by saying he's also known to be a long time user of marijuana If he's a heavy user or whatever his exact words were that shit stays in your system for a couple of days So if you're a heavy user, and I will freely admit that I've been a regular user since I was 15 which is actually too young. Also be the first to admit you really shouldn't be smoking that stuff with your brain still developing but to say alcohol Xanax cocaine also known to have weed okay

1:34:46 Okay, well there was nothing in the toxicology report about it so as far as I'm concerned It's bogus for example revealed that he had several drugs in his system including cocaine and Xanax who is also known to be a longtime user of marijuana. It turns out In fact that many violent individuals have been avid marijuana users Yes now I probably would have cuz I gotta zone out sometimes on some of these clips And I'm glad you stopped it to point out the obviosity of what's going on here. This report has nothing to do with marijuana, he throws it in as an afterthought and then he makes it the topic of conversation this is the cheapest trick...and by the way! I want to point out that people because I get these notes where these guys they like to deconstruct media but they never deconstruct conservative media usually because it's so stupid

1:35:44 This is the dumbest, cheapest, crappiest trick I've heard for quite a while. And before you continue, I want to mention that Tucker is in the O'Reilly spot which has always been the anti-marijuana hour. Why? I don't know. You might as well ask somebody at Fox because it appears to me now and that you brought this up, that this has more to do with the anti-marijuana hour which is the exact same time slot that Tucker's in, that O'Reilly was in and I don't know why but that's a fact but this is bullshit, this report! Well it gets worse and I do want you to hear The Narc speak

Donald Trump 2016 Comments on Flu Vaccines

Archived audio from 2016 features Donald Trump expressing skepticism toward flu vaccines, stating he has never had one and has never had the flu. Trump questioned the effectiveness of the shots, though he has more recently advocated for general childhood vaccinations.

donald trump· flu shot· vaccines· health· siriusxm

1:40:47 Can't believe my voice skipped on that. It actually has to So gosh golly gee Golly, gee whiz golly gee whiz people stop that Anyway That's very you should I'll tell you I'll make you feel better give him a douchebag yeah Douche bag! Not double Douche bag! One for each nut Yeah Gosh my gosh golly gee So I have an ISO, we're talking about these online guys. I was gonna take a piece of this thing but it's so stupid that i just took the ISO This is Lawrence O'Donnell The president is a raving lunatic No contest! It's already in the last slot on the lineup and its good to go Yeah that was quite a fun little escapade there where

1:41:43 He and Rachel Maddow were talking about Deutsche Bank having loans to Trump with the Russian oligarchs as cosigners. If true, they brought back the old if true! And what did some of Trump's personal lawyers say? You got to apologize and he did Oh my goodness. So I dug up from, actually took this from one of the Alex Jones show they dug it up not Alex Jones' show but one of these other spin-offs he's got a bunch of them and this is from 2016 Trump talking about not getting flu shots on the opiate whatever show it is on XM SiriusXM. Donald do you get the flu shot every year? No

1:42:33 I don't know. I've never had one and thus far, I've never had the flu. I don't like the idea of injecting bad stuff into your body which is basically what they do and this one has not been very effective to start off with but I've never had a flu shot, and I've never had the flu. I better knock on wood wisdom would or how is it that you've never? Had the flu with all the business You've done over the years you're always shaking hands I am shaking hands And I just don't understand it myself But I have friends that religiously get the flu shot and then they get the flu. You know, that helps my thinking because I say why am i doing this? And then I've seen a lot of reports that the last flu shot is virtually totally ineffective. I passed on it but that doesn't mean people... I know how you're gonna get the flu! You're healthy guy and when those flu germs show up you go, ya fired! Right, I fire them immediately. Immediately right?! Man, I can't believe people like those guys so much.

CDC Warns of Losing Measles Elimination Status

The CDC warned that the United States is at risk of losing its measles elimination status by October 1st due to ongoing outbreaks. Health officials have pointed to low vaccination rates in specific communities, including Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in New York, as a primary factor.

cdc· measles· world health organization· orthodox jews· vaccination

1:43:35 But I never heard him so i don't know. Yeah unfortunately, I don't have a recent clip of the president saying how important vaccines are he didn't say flu vaccine would that be great but you said oh yeah vaccine gotta have them gotta do them well I do have an update from the CDC we're in big trouble when it comes to measles did I see earlier this week breaking news? Breaking news! Woman at concert has measles It was breaking news. Who has measles? Some woman, I think it was a concert or a concert or conference and she had measles and it was breaking news! How's it breaking news?! Because she was in the midst of a lot of people and she might have infected them with the evil measle The evil measle So you know we got to blame... So we gotta blame this measle stuff on somebody Evil measle

1:44:29 We've got to blame it on somebody. Who should we blame the measles out and not just the outbreak, but we're about to get delisted as a country This is how bad it is Incidents of diseases such as measles mumps and rubella Blaming it on hold on can you hear that's only have one channel this crap piece of shit No, I'm not hearing anything didn't hear anything at all oh my goodness This is such a great clip let me see if time to reboot well know It said the stream heard it But you're not hearing it Well, just bear with me for a second. The beginning is not that important you may hear the next part. Diseases such as measles mumps and rubella are at an all-time low So low that in the year 2000 the World Health Organization declared was eliminated in the United States

1:45:15 Now, CNN is first to report that the U.S Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says there's a quote reasonable chance that the US will lose its measles elimination status as early as October 1st By the way this is some idiot who produced this CNN report This television report where they did the voiceover on the left channel and everything else on the right channel Who does that anymore? Dr. William Schaffner is a longtime advisor to the CDC on vaccine issues losing the elimination status of measles isn't him yeah you can't hear it Cain it's no fun if you don't hear that now anyway he blames it on the Jews that's that's the punchline what yeah I'm there on the Orthodox Jews in New York who refused I saw who refused to get

1:46:00 the vaccinated. Yeah, that's their fault sure. It was pretty lame man but anyway so we're in danger of losing our measle free... measle eradicated status on the world stage I'm not quite sure what that is an embarrassment to who? To the country! I didn't even know it existed. I don't know which body does this i'm sorry that clip The unhearable for you very interesting that they did that should have mono'd it before you yeah, I didn't catch it. I didn't catch it I didn't catch I would have and I was dealing with the Microsoft Monday. What can I tell you?

Eastern Equine Encephalitis Outbreak in the Midwest

A deadly mosquito-borne virus known as Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE) has been detected at alarming rates in Michigan and Massachusetts. The virus has a 30% mortality rate and causes brain swelling, leading health officials to advise residents to avoid outdoor activity during peak mosquito hours.

eee· encephalitis· mosquitoes· michigan· massachusetts

1:46:40 So, well that's something else we're talking about disease. Let's go to the mosquito report Oh boy now what? More than a pest tonight some mosquitoes from the Midwest to the East Coast are carrying a virus that can kill people in days spreading across wet warm regions where mosquitoes thrive Eastern equine encephalitis or triple E is being detected at an alarming rate Her brain is trying to heal itself and she can't do anything until that happens 14-year old Savannah DeHart is one of three suspected cases in Michigan. That's been probably the worst time of my life, I watched my daughter almost check out While extremely rare, triple E is incredibly deadly a mortality rate 30%

1:47:24 With no vaccine, the virus targets the central nervous system causing swelling of the brain. Mother and wife Lori Sylvia died over the weekend, the fourth confirmed case of EEE in Massachusetts. This is one of the most deadly mosquito-borne infections with nearly 30 communities now at critical risk in the state tonight health officials are warning residents in parts of New Jersey Michigan and Massachusetts to avoid outdoor activity during dusk and dawn The heightened concern comes just before the holiday weekend as many flock to the outdoors. The advice is simple, use bug spray with DEET on your body and your clothes and avoid standing water where mosquitoes breed. Tonight a warning protect yourself from a small bug with a deadly bite. You might die!

1:48:14 You know it's possibly that was a native ad for deet I was going to say why did they because that's a brand no That's not a camera. It's not a brand is the chemical that's in various brands of Insect repellent hmm could be had not heard about the killer mosquitoes oh you're gonna die so what exactly are they infected with E-quine encephalitis something. E, triple e. Encephalitis where your head swells and your brain swells correct? Yeah your brain swells and then you're kind of lucky if you get through without being brain damaged. Well thanks for that uplifting report! I have a neurologist that lives next door they told me about some of these brain swelling diseases And the way you're supposed to do it if you catch it by the brain is swelling what you have

1:49:09 If you catch it while your brain is sweating. What do you think they'd do? I have a headache! To lessen the swelling... Oh God. You have to, nobody talks about this but you have to drill a hole in the skull and let the excess fluid which is accumulating stream out like you drain it. It's like collecting maple syrup. Maple syrup, put a little tap in there. Yeah and you get a little bucket at the bottom I always thought that was gruesome but okay whatever You have to be very careful when you drill i guess don't want any shards

Amazon Ring Partnerships with 400 Police Forces

Amazon's doorbell camera company, Ring, has officially partnered with over 400 police departments across the U.S. to facilitate video footage requests. This network creates a "neighborhood watch" surveillance state where law enforcement can request access to millions of private internet-connected cameras.

1:49:49 Let's do a little OTG off the grid report. Oh good! A couple of things here, first big news... Wait wait where is the jingle? Come on I like the jingle. Well which one would you like? OTG going OTG, I'm an OTG kind of guy. Yeah I'm OTG and no eyes on me Like that, you happy? Happy with the OTG jingle? Yeah yeah yeah. That's the OTG. Yes! Okay... Big news came out as we kind of expected Amazon has part well We're not gonna say Amazon will say doorbell camera company ring owned by Amazon

1:50:43 has partnered with 400 police forces across the United States, granting them potential access to homeowners' camera footage and a powerful role in what the community calls The Nation's New Neighborhood Watch. The partnership allows police to automatically request video recorded by homeowners cameras within a specific time and area, helping officers see footage from the company's millions of internet-connected cameras installed nationwide. I just want to read that again helping officers see footage from the company's millions of internet-connected cameras installed nationwide. Now, you're the company's customers but okay they're yours I guess probably in the EULA Officers will not receive ongoing or live video access and homeowners can decline their requests which Ring sends via email

1:51:44 And I have a feeling that if you don't respond, they just do it anyway and why the hell wouldn't they allow access regardless of what you say? This is so bad. We have created a security state in our own neighborhoods Everybody on my street has them You cannot walk on my street without someone seeing ya You must obey. That's exactly what it is I find this very disturbing and... ...I don't know what to do you can't vandalize them because everyone sees you walking up so i don't know what, Is there any thinking on how we can? You can vandalize them! Yeah but I don't want to be caught vandalizing No here's how you do it A little tip for any vandals out there We probably have a few listeners who are vandals The humorous ones

1:52:35 You put a ski mask on, run out of your house as fast as you can. But first of all, you block-put a piece of wood or something in front of your own ring And then it's like oh, I didn't know was there. Wait hold on you're going too fast! I gotta take notes hold on okay put block of wood... Would gaffers tape be ok? Alright wood yes wood got it. Put a ski mask on grab a spray can of Do I need a rope for this as well just a spray can of black and a MAGA hat use rust-oleum paint because it's got some chemicals in there that might scratch up the lens. And then run over to your neighbors and spray them thing as fast as you can, making sure that you're not being...you can't be seen from other ring doorbells leaving your own house if you can make sure of that then you can do it. No! The whole street is well we're on a cul-de-sac so were blanketed all the way around I don't think you could see your porch from another house

1:53:37 The minute you get on the street everybody can see you so the minute. You walk out your driveway Everybody can see me in this configuration when we're gonna call the sack that's that's where we live, so I don't like your idea I wish there was something I wish I could can you destroy him with a laser? You know kind of shine a laser well that they used to ruin cameras that won't work anymore will it oh I don't think a laser is going to do much. It's possible from a distance if you had a high enough output laser, which is probably illegal at the beginning with and that's something you don't want to play with. You could probably blast them one at a time but you have to be pretty good shot. Yeah

1:54:21 Yeah, but again you know you oh maybe a drone. Maybe a drone with a spray can attachment or something that's an idea. Now your thinking! A drone with a spray can attachment? Or like one of those drones that holds like a 45 and shoots the thing out. The judge strap the judge to my drone we'll take care of that for ya yeah anyway so there's your security state and believe me it's gonna come to bite people in the ass okay Let's see. Oh, I got an interesting note from one of our anonymous... That was it for the off-the-ramp segment? No! By the way what is the phone that you have? Is it a app? You said it was an iPhone 5 something? Yeah hold on this is still part of the OTG segment just because I'm going into an email. Yes, the iPhone 5 is the lowest number

CHAPTER 30 / 45 Discussion

Privacy-Focused iPhone 5 Setup and Tracking Prevention

A specialized privacy setup using an iPhone 5 allows users to maintain 4G connectivity while blocking major trackers from Google and Facebook. By disabling iCloud, using Privacy Pro, and avoiding third-party apps, users can significantly reduce their digital footprint and extend battery life.

iphone 5· privacy· vpn· tracking· apple maps

1:55:16 I used to be on the Nokia E71. I still have it, I still like that device but it's 3G only and thats starting to go away and has problems Curiously? What? Jay has found an accessory for your phone For the Nokia? No for the iPhone 5 Well then let me tell you about my setup and then I want to hear what the accessory is. So in order to be prepared for the ultimate shutdown of 3G, The lowest iPhone that will do 4G LTE is the iPhone 5 You don't want the SE, you want the 5. The 5 has good battery life First of all, if you buy it off Amazon between $125-$150

1:56:07 It comes in, it's completely fresh and new so you have to create an Apple account which you just do a bogus name and you get like an Apple ID. And you do not put your credit card or anything in that's just so you can get through the process of setting it all up There is one little gotcha that I ran into because I wanted the latest software update for that phone available because that would allow me to use my hearing aids. It's also the first phone that had the hearing aid integration from Apple You have to sync it through iTunes because it will no longer download that automatically over-the-air, so you have to do some work

1:56:56 Now, so once that's done you turn off all of the iCloud stuff. Turn off backups, turn everything off All the privacy settings to the left Off-off-off no location and I kind of trust Apple's device in this regard I think that they're pretty fair if you're not logged in through iCloud now Of course your maps won't know where you are And you only want to use Apple Maps If you have too but the thing about this phone is you could flip it on also You're not going to install any apps except for one. And this is the tricky part because this is where you do need to consider if you want to pay for this or not, and that's called Privacy Pro. And you can get one I think it's free but you really want the paid version and that is equivalent of a

1:57:42 pie hole for your iPhone 5. So you can block any URL, it comes loaded with all kinds of links that it'll block and you can fully block Google, Twitter, Facebag and Instagram none of that stuff will work. You can add things as its essentially a VPN so what you are left over with after you go through all this and I should probably write it up into video which I think we'll do just the people have the steps Then you will have a phone that does calling it Does you couldn't down? You can use the podcast app that works reasonably well, you can do text messaging And you also want to make sure that I message shit is shut off so none of that. You don't want to be because you'll get locked into their system So don't use that and you'll have a web browser and the web browser is really

1:58:35 underpowered you can't you can barely do Twitter with it if You want to Twitter of course a heavy site just on the web browser itself But if you just wanna, you know do something really quick It's possible. And email, now email is not going to be a great experience but if I'm out on the Saturday afternoon and get the newsletter e-mail from you and want to take a look at it takes me longer it's a pain in the ass but the flip side is that I have no reason to grab this phone to look at something really quick because its a pain in the ass so either you don't look at it or ask someone else a handy interdimensional millennial who might be nearby hey look that up for me I learned that from your works very well

1:59:16 Or you just don't do it. Go home and we'll do it there." And I feel that Google is having a hard time tracking me, and it's blocking all of these wonderful little URLs with trackers and clickers etc., so... The battery lasts a long time because there are no apps that are spying on you when talking to Homebase. In fact nothing goes out of there I think you're gonna bring down Google. I hope so well we have a case that we found Brand-new in the box did you email it to me? No, I'm not gonna email it to my mail it to oh Oh, I thought you said you were gonna eat like was a picture or something okay no no I got a thing this sends You and it's a case but it also has a battery in it So your battery life will last for months

2:00:09 Yeah, and I appreciate that and we'll try it out. But I really like the very light way pick up the keepers phone like having a case you're gonna drop it I've dropped this phone already. This hasn't busted into a million pieces? No, no. They fix that problem. Chipped the corner off because it has an actual metal rim not all glass that shatters on impact but you pick up an iPhone 10 like What is this brick you're carrying around? No, I love it. And really...I don't use it! I use it for phone calls text messaging and maybe an email And that's all you want and your reasonably secure Still not the best but its better than nothing And he got the 4G Anonymous says he works at a university or she and the second day of class administration was left flat footed after a technology glitch

CHAPTER 31 / 45 Discussion

University Technology Glitch Locks Students Out of Buildings

A central server failure at a university caused automated door locks to malfunction, preventing students and employees from entering classrooms. The incident highlighted the vulnerabilities of relying on networked security systems over traditional physical master keys.

automated locks· server failure· university· rfid· security

2:01:07 Over the past several years, the school has moved to automated door locks on many buildings and classrooms. These doors are unlocked at specific times of day and days of week based on a central server. Well after a nightly technology glitch... The network servers were down in the morning and guess what? The students couldn't get into classrooms, employees couldn't get into their buildings. Employees who found their building's master key found it did not open most of the doors Police were asked to break down the doors And can you imagine what kind of crap we're gonna run into in the future This is just a start I don't understand why anyone would think this was a good idea

2:01:51 Well, I think it's a...I don't know. I don't know why it's- Is that apartment you used to live in have this system like this? And if the power went out people would be stuck in or out? No! It was the elevator. Oh okay. that you have to pre-program the floor you want to go to, and so all the panels turn off. But yeah, you also can't access certain areas because of the swipe cards... You know, the RFID system doesn't work which is surprising! We have Texas... This is another thing I will not do

RFID Toll Stickers and Foursquare Location Data

Passive RFID stickers used for highway tolls are powered by induction from overhead readers, raising minor concerns about radiation. Separately, the Foursquare app continues to generate $100 million annually by collecting location data from "zombie apps" left on users' phones.

rfid· toll roads· foursquare· location tracking· data privacy

2:02:28 We have toll roads in Austin particularly. Yeah, we have a toll lane on Mopac and You have this you know for like the tolls in San Francisco for the bridge or whatever you got a box right? And how big is this box that they gave you to put it's about three inches by three inches Is it powered or did there's no battery passive its its RF. It's passive. Yes induction So they have now it's just a sticker It's just a sticker. Yeah, but these things the thing over the highway that's about 10 feet in the air That's a good distance its powering it's passively powering this this RFID sticker And it's blasting it back I'm impressed You're getting irradiated ten feet at least of induction telling you

2:03:20 It's like that cooking machine, you know. He says cool burner You put a piece of metal on it starts heating up if you by any chance and I all your fillings are gonna be heating up If everybody would like to take a look at their smartphones if you got them shame on you Make sure you do not have the foursquare app still lurking on there somewhere I don't know if anyone even uses Foursquare anymore, but several years ago they've... I checked in! Well. I checked in! Yes apparently that audit- they've automated some of that check-in stuff based upon where you've been the past or where you're going this company still makes according to reports 100 million dollars a year off of location data

2:04:12 And it's just from these zombie apps, because they have very... Because of the check-ins and where certain locations are. If you're on the fifth floor of a building or the ninth floor The Foursquare app somehow knows that still based upon, you know They have 100 million profiles and still people leave this app on their phone You just don't think about it but it's communicating your exact data back continuously Remove that battery a wasting battery to remove that from your phone So I'm doing all kinds of research about tracking etc. I came across a movie which is on YouTube Which I'd I don't know if we talked about it. I've never seen it called A Good American Have you heard of this movie? This is the cartoon No, its now that's Team America. A Good American Is About The NSA in particular Bill Binney story

CHAPTER 33 / 45 Discussion

ThinThread vs Trailblazer NSA Surveillance Boondoggle

The documentary "A Good American" details how the NSA abandoned a functional, privacy-respecting metadata system called ThinThread in favor of the multi-billion dollar Trailblazer project. Critics allege the decision was driven by a desire for large corporate contracts with firms like SAIC rather than national security efficiency.

nsa· thinthread· trailblazer· bill binney· saic

2:05:12 and Bill Binney the whistleblower. But there's a part of the story that I had never heard, and this is a must-see it's about an hour and 20 minutes it's well done as professionally done its little slow from time to time But he goes through this scenario that he and his small team within the NSA had built a metadata only tracking system called ThinThread. And it was so good, that it was automatically predicting things were going to happen based upon the algorithms they had built. It was predicting them not after-the-fact but they could say in fact they came closer within 24 hours of something happening

2:05:55 What was it? I think the coal, US coal attack. And they hadn't even completed the system at that point. And what he also had done, or Bini and his team is they'd encrypted all of the metadata nodes so you would never know who was talking to who They were just represented by a cryptographically signed or generated hash I guess? So if you wanted to find out who it was after seeing the patterns because that's what it was all about for this particular system Then you could always get a warrant and then, you know, get the private key out of the vault and unlock it.

2:06:38 And this system works so well that when one of the bosses, before the boss who you're going to hear about in a second came in said well what if he gave you $1 billion? What could you do with this program and Benny and his team went away and they thought about it. They came back said for 300 million we can blanket the entire world with this system We really don't know how to spend the other 1.1 billion dollars So in 2001 a new leader of the NSA came in. Do you remember who that was? That was General Hayden exactly Hayden came in and now I'm going to switch over To a piece of this movie general Hayden hire Bill Black to come in and take over the deputy directorship

2:07:35 Once Bill Black was brought in from SAIC, where he had been a vice president. The following spring he brought in another senior vice president from SAIC and that person was Sam Hissner And who gets the contract to develop Trailblazer? SAIC. What's wrong with this picture? SAIC was a private company, it is made up basically of retired NSA individuals

2:08:14 People from NSA retire and they'll go into a company like SAIC And then they'll use their contacts back at NSA to get contracts back to SAIC so this was really the start of what would become an incredible boondoggle as The thin thread system which was working had accurately predicted things that NSA had not even seen before And retroactively found these patterns as well, which they had missed No, no. Hayden had decided that it was going to be... ThinThread was going away and it was going to be Trailblazer. And Trailblazer was all these big consulting firms you heard about SAIC coming in All the big manufacturers Billions of dollars on the line Consultants everywhere They shut down the thing that was working perfectly well

9/11 Described as a Financial Gift to the NSA

Whistleblowers Bill Binney and Thomas Drake recount that high-ranking NSA officials described the 9/11 attacks as a "gift" that would ensure unlimited congressional funding. The agency subsequently prioritized mass data collection over the targeted, encrypted analysis methods previously developed by the ThinThread team.

9/11· nsa· general hayden· maureen baginski· whistleblower

2:09:09 And these guys came in and started to create this huge storage of everything unencrypted no cryptographic masking of names etc. Then it's a fantastic story to hear how all they gave up all they cared about was just big money from their own buddies, and then listen to this last clip about 9-11. I remember this, Hayden came in 2001. The day after 9-11 I came in dressed like I was going to sweep the floor so the guards let me and otherwise they would have kept me out then too because that day General Hayden ordered everybody out of the building too

2:09:52 I just need to mention that you'll hear a name here who was the number three in command, Maureen Baginski. And she...you'll hear about her in this clip so she was the third-in-command under Hayden. So when I got in there and went up to the Sark and While I was in there trying to look at the material on my computer, why... My contractor and president of the contracting group that I had working on ThinThread came over to me and said that he'd just been in a contractor meeting with Sam Visner. And in that meeting, Sam Visner had told him that He said to him do not embarrass large companies you do your part You'll get your share There's plenty for everybody

2:10:35 And he also said that Sam had said that we could milk this cow for 15 years. We began to go about to the workforce and I would accompany Maureen Baginski The workforce took this extraordinarily hard People would ask her, what are you going to do? And I still remember her saying 9-11 is a gift to NSA We're gonna get all the money we need and then some Direct quote...9-11 is a gift to NSA All she saw was dollars coming from Congress. And we would get to spend freely. How does... it makes my stomach turn!

2:11:17 Yeah, they pretty disgusting. They compromised the country and give a shit about the country now. They don't take care about their pocketbooks This is a very these people should be rousted they should be roasted and they should be roasted beaten with it with rubber tubing in front of ring cameras for all the world to see It's... and Hayden especially, we always thought he was creepy. And we know these things are about boondoggles I hadn't heard this history No, I haven't heard this story either. I'm gonna have to watch this now thanks You'll like it a good American is the time always like Benny Benny and Thomas Drake or my two of you know There's two or three other guys Yeah But those are the two guys the main two guys that I liked Drake and Benny I think Drake was the second guy he heard in that clip. I think I'm not I don't remember me

2:12:08 But yeah, the guy who gives his lecture he always starts it off with was nowadays. He started never talk to the FBI Don't talk to the feds man ever if you remember Thomas Drake was another whistleblower and he would before he Got you know rousted busted he actually went through the normal channels You're supposed to do and that included talking to the FBI about some bad things going on at the NSA and they just took all what he said and turned it against him and Arrested him. Yeah, oh yeah I know they Rouse did those guys? They took all their files from their home everything pointed guns at them while they were in the shower and

Uber Surge Pricing and Driver Compensation Disparity

Reports indicate that Uber's surge pricing often results in significantly higher fares for passengers without a proportional increase in driver pay. In some cases, passengers are charged triple the standard rate while drivers receive only a small fraction of the additional revenue.

uber· lyft· surge pricing· algorithms· ars technica

2:12:54 It's so corrupt, it's so corrupt to its damn core. In the meantime you have all these congressmen saying well these people they went outside protocol no they never did go outside protocol there were in protocol that was a problem They created the protocol and Hayden went on to run the CIA yeah jackasses man So while we're on OTG, and that'll be my I got tons of stuff to talk about but please stop using uber and lyft you're getting ripped off Besides if they're selling all of your data. I noticed this years ago Maybe two years ago That I was getting weird pricing based upon just who I was because if Tina standing next to me Use the uber app on her phone she get a lower price

2:13:41 Now it's coming out, Ars Technica had a big article about especially how these Uber is when it comes to surge pricing they'll charge twice or three times as much as the fare only give the driver like five bucks so it could be that there's $90.00 charge with surge pricing and the driver still gets fifteen dollars this is a horrible company I don't think, you know... I think people don't even know. The kids use it? Well they use Lyft but i think Lyft is similar It's all based on algorithms and they're just charging your shit Do whatever they want to do Just take it Fine So don't use that Last time I was tempted- I don't use these things I've actually used a regular cab But sure here am getting off of one time there was nobody to pick me up from the airport so I took the BART

2:14:41 Through the whole system and got ended up over in El Cerrito. I had to take a cab home. Meet any friends while you were on BART? Must have been fun! No, it's not very sociable to be honest about that. Drug addicts on BART... Anyway so i come back and I say have a Lyft account and so I said well let's Lyft where there was a car right around the corner and the price was $750 I said And there was a cab sitting there waiting So I just jump in this cab, hell with this. And get back and I got to the house and what was the fee? You think okay The fee what do you mean the fee but I paid it a cabbie Oh versus the $15 for the app no versus the 750 I would have had to pay lift. I have no idea 750 It's exactly the same Yeah Hmm so I'm thinking what's the point

2:15:37 Well, you get to wait around instead of going straight to a cab. I mean... The cabs in Austin are not great at the airport, not a fan. I use it though... I just-I'm tired of it. I am burned out on it. It's better to have somebody pick you up Yeah well like you we have children who don't give a shit You come back from a trip they're not there to pick you up There is nothing in the house everything is dark Your weed is gone and all this stuff its just horrible Can't win! I tell ya! You know what the clip you should have played during your little thing there with Bob Binney was the pre-crime clip. Do we still have that? We haven't played that in a long time. First, there's crime and then there is pre-crime. Well let's see... It's probably under pre-crime. It might be under pre-crime. Let me see.... I think this is it. Nope! That's not it. I have a lot of pre-crime but it's all...I don't have

Malcolm Gladwell 5G Native Advertisement Critique

Malcolm Gladwell's "Revisionist History" podcast featured a segment on 5G technology that critics labeled as a native advertisement for AT&T. The segment promoted 5G as a revolutionary tool for medical data transfer and surgical training without disclosing the depth of the corporate sponsorship.

2:16:37 The jingle. Why wouldn't I have that jingle? I do however, have this jingle! Well i'm gonna have you play that again because I have a lead in here for this It's a clip that would be what we'd be doing on this show had it not been for our model. Okay, sounds exciting! This is the second part

2:17:15 of Malcolm Gladwell's podcast, Revisionist History. I noticed we played the opening of his show a couple shows ago but in the middle of the show he interrupts things to bring in his sponsor and kowtow to him in this clip. I'm back with Mo Kataba. We're talking about 5G, the next great digital revolution. The revolution beyond the phone. Today an ambulance pulls up to the hospital and you've got a handoff data to the medical professionals inside of the hospital

2:17:52 With 5G, you can imagine that becomes an automated process which also helps patient lives. It's more efficient and you're handing off the data more precisely. That's a beautiful thing. And then more long-term becomes how do we think through training doctors to become better surgeons faster? In the future using augmented reality, you can literally watch the best surgeons on earth And presumably, when you're training someone

2:18:35 You would no longer have to be in the room as you train them. You could have access to a wide number of people who are giving you advice because they could all watch through your eyes, right? Exactly! Wait this is just a general 5G native ad?! What the hell!? It's just for the whole industry?? Well he's from AT&T so it's for AT&T Oh oh oh this-oh you're right its the A- gosh... well that's pathetic I like the part where because of 5G you can hand off the documents in a much smoother way somehow. I don't know how that works... You just jam it into that little hole on your phone, yeah! Let's try this again.

2:34:16 There was one a couple weeks ago, some doofus did something stupid. This is when he's more dubious even than the one from the last one and I'll explain why. Also breaking the new mass shooting plot that authorities say they have foiled tonight A student at High Point University in North Carolina arrested with guns in his dorm NBC Steve Patterson on what police say he was planning and how they caught him Good afternoon, sir. You're in court today- The 19 year old suspect appearing in court via video conference today. Are you accepting this attorney's services as your attorney? Yes, that's okay. Prosecutors say High Point University student Paul Stieber wanted to carry out America's next mass shooting but that campus security guards foiled the alleged plot when they confiscated this 9mm semi automatic handgun and 12 gauge shotgun

2:35:11 plus ammunition from his dorm room. Prosecutors say Stieber, a Boston native planned to shoot up the school confessing his timeline to kill people had been planned since December and that he had studied other mass shootings. He definitely has plans have been researching the district attorney told the court Stever chose to enroll at school in North Carolina because it was easier to buy weapons. State law prohibits the possession of firearms on school grounds. Stieber faces charges for having weapons on campus and for communicating a threat of mass violence University officials say they discovered the alleged plot when other students alerted security Kate? Steve Patterson, thank you

2:35:50 Okay, Patterson's the guy that talks funny. Now this is bullcrap! The guy had he had a gun he had his semi-automatic gun which he kept in his room which it was not supposed to do I guess on this school and then there so called shotgun looked like an old blunderbuss I don't even know if it was the shotgun Like with the big hammers on the top. Big horn at the end? Pretty much didn't have a horn at the end, but it had big giant hammers I mean if it was anything it might've been some old shotgun double barrel that you'd... Yeah I have a double barrel 20 gauge with hammers on top They're beautiful. Okay, well then they had that this is not a gun for mass shooting you need a pump action gun that holds some shells and you can pump away Oh do tell John what else do we need for mass shooting? Well you don't want to double barrel shotgun with hammers at the top No

2:36:39 And then they had a pistol. Big deal, he didn't have like any... just dumb. Did he have a military style assault rifle? No! He had the stupid shotgun if it was that I still think it was a blunderbuss and a pistol That's it What kind of mass shooting is he gonna do Now it said that he communicated that he wanted to perform, to execute a mass shooting. So where did he communicate? They don't talk about it. It's like he said something to his girlfriend or I have no idea this is bullcrap. This is just a bad story. Well, no, it's a story that keeps everybody looking like they know what they're doing and we're protecting the public because yes you see we can thwart mass shootings Yeah good example That's what it is exactly

Social Security Phone Scam Viral Video Critique

An Apex, North Carolina police captain's video of a Social Security scam call went viral, though critics noted the officer did not actually "scam the scammer" as reported by NBC. The segment highlighted the ongoing prevalence of automated arrest threats used to steal personal information from the elderly.

2:37:30 Now the other clip which is also from NBC, which really irked me because we did this clip over a year ago. And we could have gotten on NBC, we could have done some publicity I don't know why... We can't get publicity for some of our good work. Because we're old white men! Hello? So here is the story that they did on NBC, which is the story we did a year ago. But they're going to do it anyway and of course there's no way if they have no solution They don't bring in Elizabeth Warren They don't bitch and moan They don't do anything This is the phone call scammer Here's a twist on yet another story about criminals using phone scams To trick people into giving up personal information this week The tables were turned On one con artist when a police captain answered the call

2:38:16 NBC's Tom Costello has more on how the scammer got scammed. No, I will not. Ann Stevens admits she enjoyed messing with the scammer. I need you to verify me with the last four digit number of your social security. I'm not going to confirm my social security number with you Without a clue he was talking to an Apex North Carolina police captain The phone crook claimed he was a social security officer and in 45 minutes she'd be arrested on serious charges Like money laundering, drug trafficking I'm going to be charged with drug trafficking.

2:38:55 The sheriff's department is not coming to get me. I'm pretty sure of that." She posted the video as a warning to victims, especially the elderly. We wanted them to see they're going to use any tactic they can to try and scare you into believing something is going to happen so you'll give up your personal information and we just want people to know never do that! If you don't tell us how many bank accounts you have, we will suspend all your social security accounts. Eventually, the bad guy hung up. So folks these are scam calls don't ever give out your information The good news? This scammer has now gone viral Tom Costello NBC News Washington Viral! He's gone viral I bet he is so embarrassed

2:39:41 This is for Roger, let's get the NBC stuff out of the way. First of all, The Scammer never got scammed like they started this story with oh The Scammer got scammed! How did he get scammed? Because they call out culture man we called them out, it went viral So and then the other reporter said she was messing with him. She wasn't, when I did my clip I was messing with the guy! I was getting a bad information...I was stringing him along she just refused to talk to the guy. I'm not giving you my number No there was no entertainment in this clip? There was no entertainment and then it's a cop and this is illegal And what does the cop do about it laughs it off and posts it how much

2:40:23 going after the guy, finding some way to stop this. Bitching about the fact that Elizabeth Warren promised that she was gonna do something about this bullcrap." Well... I laugh it off! So funny. Two things happened yesterday to me as it relates to this. This you know Unless it's, unless I recognize a number like it's in my address book.

ford credit· car lease· identity theft· phone scam· verification

2:41:03 Social Security number is being suspended and there is an arrest warrant being issued under your name to talk to an officer. Press 1 I repeat, to know more about the case press one so obviously I didn't call back or anything like that but I got a call somewhat later in the day it was 877 number Now, if it's a 512 I'm inclined to pick it up which is our area code. 877 is typically like that might be legit service It wasn't my own 650 area code. I still have the phone from Silicon Valley days And this lovely lady but she sounded older you know Hello May I speak with Adam Curry? I hate that by the way. I despise it!

2:41:53 Announce who you are first, but no so I think who's calling so I can always get out of it Well this is Ford credit like and this sounds like a scam And she really sounded like a scammer, but my lease is up in six weeks. I'm happy to get rid of this car because i don't need it anymore, we don't have the airstream. And she's like well um... We're going to come to your house and we're going to... and I still not believing that! We are gonna inspect the cars, do inspections. You are gonna come into my house and inspect my car? What does this cost me?" She said no no this is Ford credit

2:42:31 And she kept on going, I need your home address. Well, I can give you my home address! I don't know who you are! You clearly know what kind of car I have. I don't like this. Then she went through a whole bunch of numbers that I could verify account numbers. Okay, and she was but it took 10 minutes of me just trying to figure out if she was legit or not Yeah That's part of the problem yeah So...I'm sure they feel crappy about it because everyone thinks they're criminals She might have been a criminal. It's always the old grandma. It's always the grass She was really good man. She got me good on Sunday I do want to provide an update on Patrick Byrne who continues to write about his His involvement with Maria Boutina he's writing some

Andrew Yang Criticizes Media Conglomerates on Podcasts

Democratic candidate Andrew Yang expressed surprise at being treated more fairly by Fox News than by MSNBC. Yang noted that his experience on the campaign trail has revealed "kernels of truth" in criticisms regarding media bias and the influence of large conglomerates.

andrew yang· msnbc· fox news· fake news· media bias

2:44:10 The other thing is just how corrupt our media conglomerates are, where I was stunned. have their fingers on the scales in various ways. So there's a little bit of truth to who, a lot of the I guess traditional conservative criticism that the media is not always even handed? It it's wild during this run i feel like i've now seen kernels with truth and a lot of trumpism honestly where he's like fake news and then you're like oh come on Trump but then you look into it be like well there is something there! Like obviously he's overly

2:44:46 emphasizing it and dramatizing like enemy of the people stuff's obviously like, you know, like, endlessly extreme. But yeah, that that's actually been a surprise to me. Like I'm sort of stunned that I get treated better by Fox than MSNBC. I thought MSNBC would like me. That's very funny. I wish he would just be honest and say hey you guys suck He would actually get traction Yeah, he would that's what Trump did it worked? I mean, I think the public is kind of amenable to that I do have a clip to follow up that which is there were Sanders who is also saying You're saying the same things. He's being treated very poorly by them by the media but he's going about his Condemnation kind of the wrong way and I think it's

Bernie Sanders Plan to Protect Independent Journalism

Senator Bernie Sanders released a comprehensive plan to combat media consolidation and protect local news outlets. The proposal includes strengthening antitrust regulations against tech giants like Google and Facebook to prevent them from "cannibalizing" the revenue of traditional news organizations.

bernie sanders· antitrust· google· facebook· journalism

2:45:28 It's been documented that the New York Times has got a reporter that covers him and who hates him, and apparently his job is to dismiss him. According to Sanders, the Washington Post has a person like that too. And even though he still stays up there in the numbers race is not going to last for long, especially after he does this kind of thing and this is the unreported this on democracy now was unreported by everybody else but it's quite interesting. Independent Senator 2020 hopeful Bernie Sanders has released a plan protect independent journalism and end the consolidation and corporate control of media outlets. His plan includes ending federal approval of major media mergers, giving employees an opportunity to have ownership in news outlets, increasing funding for local and independent news, and strengthening antitrust regulations to stop

2:46:20 tech giants like Facebook and Google from quote cannibalizing bilking and defunding news organizations. Sanders notes President Trump's assault on the press has further threatened the media landscape. Nice, nice threaten. Yeah I don't like you know like some of these ideas i'm hearing you know I think the I think that the press when they can't make their business model work just have to go away. I'm sorry, we may wind up with the New York Times Washington Post i'm sure will survive probably USA Today and the rest will be just whatever blogs you trust! All these hot shit publishing companies are all going out of business...I am sure you read that essay by some person who was on staff at Gawker and they got spun out and bought

2:47:20 And this person was complaining that, oh all the Silicon Valley hotshots who bought the company all they wanted was clickbait. Yeah I mean exactly the shit we're accused of basically. Like no one cares about your in-depth reporting online because there's just no money to be made off that. We need clicks! Click click click clicks! That's what we need! Lotsa clicks! So it's cat videos. Yeah, it seems like a lot of this stuff is over Things do come to an end you know well you know the fact Anyone who studied the fact? Is that the newspapers began their decline with television news had nothing to do with the internet It's always been declining and forced them to like do certain kinds of consolidation if you look at old newspapers

2:48:12 from the 1900s. It's nothing like today and there's lots of competition, San Francisco had like four or five newspapers you know they had The Call, they have The Bulletin which had to merge into The Call Bulletin they had this Examiner they had The Chronicle which had eventually merged into it eventually everybody got bought now as a one newspaper The Chronicle and there was other papers that New York must've had 10 or more newspapers and it was very competitive and everyone got paid well They were breaking stories and they were doing the click bait in their own version with the headlines. And they would sell, paper boys would sell it on to the commuters here read all about it! All that sort of thing died with television and started to consolidate and just got worse with the internet I'm surprised are hanging on as long as they are Well what I see forming before our very eyes is I see long-form journalism being done

2:49:06 very well, there's some journalists out there who don't even call themselves journalists and Like George Webb on YouTube and there's a lot of in-depth work being done that is extremely valuable and very readable, and I would say it appears better sourced. Now you can't trust the so-called mainstream either so at a certain point you follow someone and see if they were talking crap or not And the future appears to be people like you and me human content routers we sift through it distill let some stuff seep through

CHAPTER 45 / 45 Discussion

Future of Human Content Routers and Show Sign-off

The hosts discussed the transition from traditional newspapers to "human content routers" who distill information for their audiences. The episode concluded with a reminder to support the show via the value-for-value model and a final sign-off from Austin and Silicon Valley.

2:49:46 If I had a penny for every time someone says, I only listen to you guys. I don't need to watch that shit anymore Well, I'd have 100 pennies but it now An element of that should be noted which is well What are gonna do if the all the big papers? You won't use stealing content from the big boys and just use your wasn't for them We wouldn't have any kind the best content that we have including this two things that you just played is that like that Andrew Yang clip that you have from a podcast. Exactly! Our best content does not, our best ridiculing content where we just excoriate these guys for doing a piss poor job. That comes from the mainstream media but our best informational content does not it comes from all these other sources we don't really use The New York Times

2:50:34 to source some of our stories if we're going to go into in-depth stuff. We use them to point out that they're biased, so that's bullcrap! So you're right it's gonna be guys like us... As long as we can keep each other alive, we are in good shape. That is what I say stop smoking so much weed. Alright everybody thank you trolls for keeping us on our toes at least me John doesn't look at you but I do and I see you trolls And thank you to our producers for today's program. And of course we will return on Sunday, I hopefully will have an update and see if i can make it to the big meeting at 6 maybe overcrowded

2:51:22 And please remember us at Dvorak.org slash NA Without your production dollars, we go away That's just how it works Yeah Does your iPhone 5 make videos? It can Well, record the...

2:52:05 And coming this fall to home video July night 2019 was the hottest month ever recorded across the world. This is according to a report on Monday by the EU's Copernicus climate change program. The thing that couldn't die man-made global warming pollution causes 2013 was one of the top 10 hottest years on record. New data from NASA shows 2018 was the hottest of last 139 years The thing that couldn't die There are people who still believe that the moon landing was staged on a movie lot in Arizona 2014 was the hottest year on record The world's oceans in 2017 were the hottest ever recorded, researchers said in this study The thing that couldn't die

2:52:53 You begin by denying that there is a consensus on the science. There is a consensus on the science! There's not really a day that I don't think about, you know where Earth is going to... The thing that couldn't die NASA records show global temperatures have risen steadily over the past 136 years but there was never a spike in temperature like we saw in 2015. There is no stopping it Analogizing people to insects is always wrong. We can do better. We don't have a mathematics that proves one thing is better than the other, we just have opinions I welcome being called a bed bug! A professor at George Washington University described me as a bed bug or metaphorical bedbug He had to get Queen Elizabeth to go along

2:53:50 Guess what? She went along. She did and the chicken sandwich wars are coming to an end The question they're raising is that why shouldn't this be up to the voters who are going to be voting in early 2020 rather than Up to the Democratic Party officials. I'm not proverbially He's upset You gotta learn how to deal with it. James Cardinal Cole, what a phony! They went on to say it forces campaigns to fork over millions of dollars to Facebook If the people don't qualify what does that actually mean for their campaigns moving forward? They won't have the exposure I had no intention whatsoever to get him in any kind of professional trouble We are just children we shouldn't have to do this The adults should take that responsibility

2:54:41 Wacky shells, zany shells. Locked into a taco podcast. I think we should stop while we're ahead. The president is a raving lunatic
