About this episode

Speaker Nancy Pelosi appeared on the House floor wearing a ceremonial mace pin to announce a strategic delay in transmitting articles of impeachment to the Senate. This maneuver aims to pressure Mitch McConnell over trial rules while extending the media cycle surrounding Donald Trump. The President responded with a six-page letter to the House, which the New York Times and other outlets characterized as a deranged screed, though legal analysts suggest the document was a professionally structured argument intended to bypass media filters.

Representative Devin Nunes linked the current Ukraine investigation to the Steele Dossier and the Russia collusion narrative, characterizing the proceedings as a coordinated Plan B by intelligence officials. Meanwhile, One America News reported on a Ukrainian indictment alleging a money-laundering trail involving Hunter Biden and Burisma. In the UK, Professor David Starkey analyzed Boris Johnson’s electoral victory as a mandate for patriotism, while Nigel Farage delivered a final speech to the European Parliament celebrating the UK’s exit from the prison of nations. Tech culture continues to shift as Facebook partners with retailers like Macy’s to track offline purchases, and Amazon profits from neighborhood fear by marketing Ring surveillance footage of package thefts.

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak celebrate the 1200th episode milestone from Austin, Texas, reflecting on twelve years of the value-for-value model. Representative Matt Gaetz gave the show a nod by using the phrase no agenda during his floor remarks. The ceremony included the elevation of Baron Sir Dreb Scott to Viscount and a discussion on why the show keeps the human amygdala small, firm, and round.

ClauseMail and Linux Email Management Efficiency

A discussion of the Lubuntu Linux setup highlights the use of ClauseMail as a highly configurable email client. The host describes using personalized templates to manage listener feedback, though notes that replying often generates a higher volume of incoming correspondence.

Trump Impeachment Media Coverage and Public Indifference

The hosts analyze the media's portrayal of the Donald Trump impeachment proceedings, comparing the current public indifference to the high-stakes atmosphere of the Nixon and Clinton eras. They critique the repetitive use of phrases like "national security" and "integrity" by Democratic representatives and the shift in terminology from "founding fathers" to "the framers."

02:36 Well, I will admit it's a witcher's curse. The witcher's curse? Yeah put on you! To lessen my email load... As if you read all your emails anyway. Well still they still accumulate So just to put everything into perspective Yesterday we had the, what was it? The whole day was 30 seconds of this guy one minute of that lady back and forth. And it was just like ping pong, ping pong, ping pong now I went out... He sucks! No he doesn't. You suck. He sucks you suck. I went out to run a couple of errands and found myself in the midst of people shopping let me tell you

03:28 I didn't see anybody looking all worried about impeachment. I didn't see people standing around monitors watching this take place, this historic event People don't care. I don't think if you walk down the street right now people say, I don't know are they done with that yet? I haven't figured it out yet It was it was because I remember the Nixon impeachment of course I remember Clinton but Nixon was Wow man, and I remembered that the Watergate tapes my grandmother would send cassettes to my mom But the whole world was really tuned in then. Clinton, I think was much bigger than this although i don't really specifically recall the impeachment vote do you remember? And was it as just unimportant seemingly to everybody? Well... It was more of a- You know, to be honest about it, Clinton actually committed felonies and Trump hasn't

04:28 But even so, the felony was like protecting his little mostly his tete-a-tete with Monica Lewinsky. And there was tittering because of what had happened and it was kind of semi-lewd and kind of embarrassment and Clint had already been known as a rambler, you know he's been... But were people thinking about it talking about it? No I would say was very equivalent yeah only it was more it was that it was the kind of hee-hee kind of thing. Also we had sex involved which is much cooler actually for an impeachment I mean this is the most boring topic to come up with. I did not have some fun things yes we learned that blowjobs isn't sex

05:20 Yeah, which helped the economy. But I can sum up yesterday with four phrases Four phrases? Here we go... I took an oath national security The solemn day you got that one in there No one is above the law and my favorite integrity And I cannot stop my brain from flashing the South Park Tegrity weed every time i hear someone say it. It's a genius phrase those guys came up with, integrity lots of integrity national security and people are actually saying that national security was damaged because Russian is our enemy and some

06:08 Javelin tank busters was going to save us from Russia. I mean the whole thing is just The national security thing is lame, but my favorite one is the law and order. Oh no one's above the law or law and order... Meanwhile this is the same party that condones 11 million illegal aliens sanctuary cities we're a nation of laws! Yes, no one is above the law I mean it's ridiculous In fact no one is above the law except a large portion of illegal immigrants they're pretty much about the law in the United States There's also... Wait, wait. There is something else I noticed. We had a switch and it was kind of creeping up for the past couple of weeks but we switched from founding fathers to the framers

07:00 Yes, yeah that's... there you go. Because they were framing Trump! Yes it's in their mind they were thinking the founding father no the framers and I think the only framers are these Democrats. It's Schiff Nadler Pelosi they are the actual framers i don't know if that was subliminal? Um..I think that's a 10 point catch. You caught one over your shoulder running toward the wall I just, it hit me. It's like oh my goodness this is something in their deep consciousness that's coming out the framers. Because it is the framers of the Constitution but that wasn't used as much than I can recall over the founding fathers. Nobody used it. Well let me see...I will say and then we'll do some stuff from the past couple days but last night

Nancy Pelosi Strategy and Impeachment Article Delay

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is observed wearing a ceremonial mace pin while outlining a strategy to withhold articles of impeachment from the Senate. This maneuver aims to pressure Mitch McConnell regarding trial rules and the appointment of impeachment managers, effectively extending the media cycle.

nancy pelosi· mitch mcconnell· house of representatives· senate trial· impeachment managers

07:59 Nancy Pelosi, man. She had a dynamite dress on I thought she was dressed perfectly her hair She had the did you see she had the the mace? She was wearing the mace pin which I didn't even I didn't learn about this You know the mace in in the House of Commons and UK Parliament they have that staff Yeah, it's like some sort of a say Power artifact and they had to bring it in and out. It just has some symbolism yeah It's I think it represents the Queen that she's there or it's empower its it's the it's the power stick essentially There's one of these in Congress which I didn't realize And it represents the

08:44 the power stick of the Speaker of the House and now you'll see it for the speaker to her right in the background but for us television viewers, to the left. And it was a replica of... It has a special name I think The Mace? It's a ceremonial thing but anyway she was wearing her power stick and everything was great except she was once again chewing her cud or whatever was in her mouth, and I mean i don't know if you want to start here but she basically laid out the lawfare group strategy which is going to draw this insanity out even further by not sending the articles of impeachment to the senate

09:35 And I'm kind of kicking myself because someone had sent me the rules of how this was supposed to work with the managers. We heard this term yesterday, the impeachment manager and i think the impeachment manager takes the two articles of impeachment in a very important looking briefcase and walks it over to the senate but the minute the managers I think are appointed, not even the delivery of the documents they're appointed. The Senate has 24 hours to get their ass in gear and start scheduling whatever they're going to do. And so while I have the clip here of Pelosi almost it was very messy

10:13 Because people, I guess someone was already on to this and they knew to ask the question. So what are you going to do now? Who's the manager who we're gonna put of course it'll be Schiff or Nadler whatever We're gonna appoint so he can send us over to the Senate and I'll just spoil a clip little bit by said oh no no no We're not sending anything until we know it's going to be a fair trial. So she has, the strategy has expertly taken this and flipped it on its head to blame the Republicans now — specifically Mitch McConnell — for not either facilitating a speedy wrap-up of this event

10:58 or really trying to subvert justice and it's not going to be a fair trial. Have a listen. So we will make our decision as to when we're gonna send it, when we see what they're doing on the Senate side but that's the decision that we will make jointly. You gotta listen to this what she says here... You're starting to act like another country don't shout okay who So the reporters are yelling and then she says, stop, you're sounding like another country. Don't yell! What is she... what was going on in her mind? What other country is she referring to?

11:42 Well, you obviously got this clip. I don't know no no I don't know I have no idea what she's talking about maybe the UK but anyway We're starting to act like another country don't shout okay? Yes sir I'm not That would have been our intention, but we'll see what happens over there. You're asking me are we all going to go out and play in the snow? That has not been part of our conversation

12:24 That has not been part of our conversation. No, I've never raised the prospect you ask the question. I never raised a process that I said we're not sending it tonight because it's difficult to determine who the managers would be until we see the arena in which we will be participating. So now she's saying we need to know what your process is going to be before we know who are going to appoint which kicks off the 24-hour period so this is a very interesting twist that's all I said, I never raised the prospect well we'll see what they when they come forward at the

13:05 It's up to the Senate to say what their rules will be. My colleagues, do you want to say anything about this? Because it is... This is a serious matter even though the majority leader in United States Senate says its okay for the foreman of the jury to be cahoots with lawyers of the accused That doesn't sound right to us. But let's see when they understand what we have acted, now they'll understand what their responsibilities are and we'll see what that is but I never raised that possibility. So she can now hold this for weeks months all of a sudden

Donald Trump Letter to Pelosi and Media Reaction

Donald Trump issued a six-page letter to Nancy Pelosi that the media characterized as "unhinged" and "deranged." The New York Times published a marked-up version of the letter with fact-checks regarding the 2016 Electoral College results, while news anchors compared the tone to that of authoritarian dictators.

donald trump· nancy pelosi· new york times· electoral college· media montage

13:50 trigger it when she wants to, but in the meantime it has given the media more raw meat and the nightmare is not going to end. It's just going to continue the bickering back and forth and now it's gonna be Schumer and McConnell...it's a mess! The Schiff show. Someone said that yesterday, I heard someone actually say this is the Schiff show. And Schiff actually when they went back to him because I saw that little episode he had a cute smile on his face like hey i'm getting complimented oh yeah but my favorite of what happened in the media was uh this letter that Trump sent

14:37 to the Speaker of the House, which multiple people emailed to me and said I think that's good. But yeah, we've covered all these topics you see this letter the six this five course Page letter it was and it's a classic example of the two dimensions Oh, yeah Because everybody thought it was a letter of genius on one side oh this guy really told her what told like it is in the other reserve my god It's just a litany of excuses lame And it was amazing. The response to the letter was much more interesting than the letter itself, although when I read the letter, I read it thinking okay this is a major letter that's going to go into the archives and then 100 years from now what's it gonna be like when somebody reads it? I think its damning

15:30 And there was a lot in it. Not for Trump! No, there was a lot in there It was pretty much everything I think that we've looked at and I guess that puts us firmly in one dimension but it just seems so cut-and-dry to me and then when you hear the M5M response to it of which I have two separate montages And that really bore no resemblance to what was in this letter. I mean it was pretty serious stuff and he also ran down a list of accomplishments but this is super cuts one of the media coming unglued by this letter. He sent an absolutely unhinged deranged six

16:16 page tweet like letter. The tone of that letter where it's so discordant, some dubbing it a rambling ranting screed of rage and the letter was nuts I mean it's just bizarre cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs just bizarre It is the letter of a wild man. That letter is nutso! But what scares me about the letter he's written... It's crazy town He's trying to burn down the house in A Letter for the Ages And this is not rational and So out-of-line, it's so completely inappropriate He is impugning her faith Honestly, this is almost like a letter that Kim Jong-un wrote. Not even Steve King would say the kinds of things that he did. It reads sort of like a bad breakup letter I don't think he wrote this letter it doesn't even sound like him I have another series of that in a minute but what The New York Times did was very interesting they published the letter and they marked it up with little orange number dots

17:13 So, in the beginning of this letter he says, The articles of impeachment introduced by the House Judiciary Committee are not recognizable under any standard of constitutional theory interpretation or jurisprudence. They include no crimes. Orange dot! Let's look over orange dot two. The articles charge Mr Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress but an impeachable offense does not have to be a specific crime thanks for the editorializing Then, you know it goes on. Fortunately there was a transcript of the conversation taken and you know from the transcript which was immediately made available... Stop says The New York Times this is misleading Mr.. Trump's phone call with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine occurred on July 25th The White House released to reconstructed transcript that conversation September 25th after the announcement It just goes on and on they couldn't just print the letter

18:05 They had to mark it up. Here's more of the unhingedness from the M5M What does it say about President Trump fitness for office on the eve of his impeachment? The audience is at home, read the letter as if Saddam Hussein or Gaddafi would actually have written that letter Just have their voice in your head so read this like an authoritarian It says if an authoritarian wrote it Okay let's try that Do we do this Mussolini or Hitler or Saddam Hussein...do even hear Saddam Hussein speak Well, not in English. This was interesting everyone you and everyone I'll do a little dictator Everyone you included knows what is really happening? Your chosen candidate lost the election in 2016 In an electoral college landslide 306 to 227 Fact check false New York Times jumps in False Mr Trump won the Electoral College with 304 votes to 227 votes after defections

19:06 Did you even know that? Were there defections? No. Yeah, so they fact-check false and say it was 304 votes. Another one of his many lies! Exactly we continue... It's like an authoritarian as it says if an authoritarian wrote it I think right now is going to go down as a You know, a letter from a two-bit dictator to Banana Republic. It has that kind of quality to it." Some might kindly describe it as fiery others would call at times unhinged That letter Donald Trump sent today was wackadoodle. It was gibberish. It was ugly Pelosi responded calling the letters sick I mean what is about strong powerful women that really puts Trump over the edge?

CHAPTER 06 / 60 Discussion

Professionalism and Authorship of Presidential Correspondence

The hosts debate the authorship of Donald Trump's letter to the House, countering media claims that it was a "ranting screed." They argue the document was a professionally structured legal and political argument likely crafted by a team with the President's direct input.

donald trump· chris matthews· speechwriting· editorial perspective· political communication

19:47 What? Pelosi is a strong powerful woman and that's why it really put him over the edge. And why he had to, you know... Why is it about strong and powerful women? Now part of this is obviously intended not- You know, to frame to use the phrase, to frame your opinion of the letter because we know you're not going to read the letter. No one's reading the letter... yeah John you read it I read it..I don't think many people in the troll room read it just really read the whole thing some may because after all no agenda but the whole idea is make its and that was

20:27 clearly a talking point. It sounds like an unhinged dictator, Kim Jong-un, Saddam Hussein I mean they all got the same memo. They're trying to group them in with Duterte and Bolsonaro Now the funny thing the only thing that was kind of made some sense in that medley of complaints was Chris Matthews in there. You could tell these voices after you've done this show for 120 years. Chris Matthews says, I don't even think he wrote that letter! Well, I don't think he wrote it either! The letter was professionally... This is what actually kind of makes them sound unhinged. That letter

21:05 I'm taking this from an editorial perspective. Of course, of course yes is extremely well-written professional professionally written letter he there's a team that put that letter together yeah would you say sure Trump was one of those I'm sure Trump was one of the I might be wrong but Trump seems to be one of those guys who wants to go over everything make sure it's not and so he may have added his own flavor would you say in fact it was a perfect letter Now just to accentuate the point I'm making though, and it's just so disappointing.

CHAPTER 07 / 60 Discussion

Daily Show Trump Rally Segment and Transcript Literacy

A segment from The Daily Show featuring Trump supporters at a rally highlights the irony of protesters demanding people "read the transcript" without having read it themselves. The hosts discuss how both political parties rely on a lack of primary source reading among the general public.

the daily show· trump rally· ukraine transcript· media literacy· political polarization

21:43 that this is what it's come to and I know this is going on. People send me links to articles, they-I know they didn't read them you know how I know that because you sent me something based on the headline and it's not actually the story there's a paragraph in a link to the original story so I know that you didn't read it just saw headlines thought now don't be interested let him figure it out and that's the problem! By the way we really hate that I hated when I run into it myself I ran into something Yesterday it was an article in one of these crappy papers that said, Tony Blair says the Labor Party is done. It's through! And there was a video clip down there so I said oh this is interesting and might be good for the show. Well I play it... There's nothing in there just nothing. It wasn't even anything. It wasn't even close

22:35 I want to accentuate how bad this is with a clip from the Daily Show. They went to a Trump rally. What do you think about this impeachment? Bullshit! Bullshit! Why is it bullshit? Why, because he didn't do anything It's bullshit. It's total bullshit. It's total nonsense And Trump has been grooming his supporters to push back on any impeachment talk with this simple demand All you have to do is read the transcript Read the transcript Read the transcript It's all about the transcript read the transcript right? Yeah, I have not read it But we should read the transcript. We should look at a transcript right now look at the transcript. Have you read the transcript? Read the transcript right yeah absolutely did you read the transcript I've

23:21 I mean, I've read most of it but there's nothing to do with... Skim the transcript. Yeah! I don't have time for reading all the impeachment and all that bullshit you know? How long have you been waiting out here for Donald Trump? Since 8 o'clock. Hours?! A lot of free time. Absolutely. Read the transcripts. Now I'm sure people at the Trump rally read the transcript, but

24:09 How can you as a hardcore supporter who literally says read the transcript not have read the transcript yourself? Because that's the world we live in. No one gives a shit and that is why we're here after 1,200 episodes because we will read it and we will tell you what's in it from a different perspective like you just did John with your editorial perspective It was a great letter! It was beautifully written well-summized I don't know about this factual mistake of the number The electoral college and my question false. It's exactly what it is But otherwise no one's reading this stuff, it's so disappointing and all sides of the equation Well you have to rely on that

24:53 especially the Democrats, actually both sides do it. But you have to rely on people not actually looking at that's why this slam against this letter six page letter which is actually a very entertaining well-structured letter professionally written was not what they're claiming unhinged there's nothing unhinged about it was very straight down to earth but if you keep saying and these The Democrats, who just think Trump's nuts anyway and the whole place should be blown up and all Republicans should die. They hate Republicans for whatever reason because they misgender people I don't know why the real reason is but this is how they get their job done. The job gets done! And that's what The Daily Show did

25:42 Yes, exactly. The job gets done and it's up to everybody... You know what? As I always say every country gets the government she deserves and this is your own issue right here you're not reading shit Government IT deserves! You're misgendering the country No it's a she It's a she So I know you are dying to play couple of clips because I know you dove into it Now one more observation as I was listening cause I was partially watching but listening all the time Man, there's a lot of old coots in Congress. Oh, some people came like... Yeah well here is the one, here is the old coot clip this is Impeachus' Sensenbrenner an old coot

CHAPTER 08 / 60 Discussion

Jim Sensenbrenner Critique of Impeachment Articles

Representative Jim Sensenbrenner argues against the two articles of impeachment, characterizing "abuse of power" as a subjective charge and "obstruction of Congress" as a rush job that ignores the role of the judiciary. He claims the proceedings are a partisan attempt to influence the 2020 election.

jim sensenbrenner· abuse of power· obstruction of congress· supreme court· 2020 election

26:29 It's a little longer than I thought it was, but they all gave everybody one minute. They took two at the beginning of the whole thing. They gave Nancy Pelosi one minute. We'd like to go to Nancy Pelosi for one minute. She took eight and half minutes! You know and I saw the same thing happen when they brought the minority house leader, For the Republicans and he also got one minute, and he also spoke for about eight So I guess the rules don't apply if you're the the the Buona if you're the big boss Right. I guess given leeway leeways. It's called leeway all right sense in Brenner so let's look at these two phony articles of impeachment First of all abuse of power

27:23 The phone call in question had the president say, our country has been through a lot. I want you to do us a favor not me a favor us a favor and there he was referring to our country the United States of America not a personal political gain He was not afraid to let this transcript go public. And he released the transcript almost immediately after the call Now, the second article of impeachment obstruction of Congress

28:00 It basically says that unless the president gives us everything we want and when we want it, then he's committed an impeachable offense. That's a bunch of bunk! The President has certain individual privileges by virtue of his office Whenever there has been a dispute between the executive and legislative branches heretofore they've gone to court And the Supreme Court a couple weeks ago said they would take jurisdiction over deciding whether the president had to comply with one subpoena relating to his tax returns. Now here, the Democrats have been bent to impeach the President of the United States before the court decides this

28:48 And this means that there's a rush job to do this. And why is there? Because they want to influence the 2020 elections and they spent Three years doing it, they spent millions of taxpayers' dollars including the Mueller report putting together this impeachment. And they also have had this Congress wrapped around impeachment and not doing their jobs until the dam broke this week Stop this charade vote no and I yield back these people need media training. This is so horrible Everyone's eyes are glazing over if they saw it at all, and it's certainly not going to be a soundbite anywhere else but here Media training too long me media training. This is this is horrible

29:41 Because what he should have said is, you know how Nancy Pelosi talks about co-equal branches of government? Well it's not just the legislative and the executive i.e Congress and the White House there's also the judicial! And they're the ones that are going to determine what can and cannot be introduced and that's not an obstruction of Congress which is a pretty new term. You wouldn't be much better Let's listen to him. Thanks for the confidence! First of all, I'd be doing this on a podcast... Anyway... I do have Nunes who did a pretty good job here is my favorite one this is from the Democrat side and this is impeach and this guy this is what you got to hear it this is impeach in Spanish. Oh yeah, this was good.

CHAPTER 09 / 60 Discussion

Spanish Language Floor Remarks and Political Showboating

A member of Congress delivered remarks in Spanish on the House floor, prompting a request for an immediate English translation. The hosts characterize this as political showboating and pandering to specific demographics.

30:47 And today I pray for God, for his guidance in uniting our great nation. And with that Mr., the gentleman from New York, I yield. The gentleman will be required to provide a translation of your remarks. I heard that too! What are you doing that for? Seriously?! I mean, if you can vote in general elections you have citizenship. You have taken the test. You can speak some basic English so it was just pandering. It's showboating! Well it worked to a degree. Well it didn't work for me. I didn't understand a word he said Here you are playing it so it worked

CHAPTER 10 / 60 Discussion

Matt Gaetz No Agenda Phrase Usage

Representative Matt Gaetz used the phrase "no agenda" during his floor speech regarding the impeachment proceedings. The hosts analyze the clip for its potential as a show jingle, noting Gaetz's argument that Democrats lack a substantive plan for America.

31:33 The Matt Getz has one of the, this is I believe. I haven't ordered this because I got an ISO out of this. Yes, this is Matt Impeach, Matt Getz Tops.

I can be pleased and you have pleased me

34:24 And when you open this box, there was an object wrapped in the most elaborate bows and silver and swooshes and schwoons. I mean this was... Honestly, a little more exciting than the gift itself. The wrapping was outstanding! Now it's the gift that keeps on giving because the wrapping paper consisted of tiny miniscule bits of glitter Which will be in our house for the rest of our lives. Thank you very much everywhere my clothes Now did Jay rap this or Mimi who robbed us Eames rap job is good, too, but me is one job

35:14 She's one of the best rappers I've ever run into Of course we saved everything because you know, I tried to open bows are reusable. That's the cool thing We got some of those boats from five six years ago. Give somebody this wrapping paper with the glitter You're absolutely right its dynamite yeah well the bows you don't need the paper this be the same but Yes, and Jay learned to rap. I think Mimi was a rapper at Macy's or some summer when she was younger and she got into rapping and she does these very elaborate gifs to the point where it's like... Too much. It's too much and Jay got into it, too but Jay has a lot of art to hers and so it's like he can't even worse but people in the troll people that roams like wait a minute Mimi's a better rapper than jay-z what is going on for sure I don't understand have you ever seen gotten a gift from JZ doesn't know what he's doing

36:10 Thank you very much. It was highly appreciated, very nice gift and I have some stuff... That took so long to get to ya! The wrapping? No she had the wrap, she wrapped it up but then she had the package yet so the wrapping wouldn't get damaged in the shipping. The wrap- its a drill! You could drop from the sky and it would be fine. Throw it into paper bag and ship it over there Oh man, thank you. Thank you. Thank you that was very much appreciated all right back to the ordered hand I only have a few more of these because but I had one that really got my attention so C-SPAN was swamped and they had their Their feed was down. Yes they had all kinds of issues yeah

CHAPTER 12 / 60 Discussion

C-SPAN Audio Glitch and Broadcast Engineering

A technical failure during a C-SPAN broadcast resulted in a bizarre audio feedback loop and doubling of a speaker's voice. The hosts, drawing on their broadcasting experience, speculate that a sound engineer left a fader open on a return feed.

c-span· audio engineering· broadcast glitch· feedback loop· fader

36:58 My favorite issue, and this is actually... how long is this clip? I want you to play the whole thing because it's so funny. This is only a 53 second clip. Yeah. This is exactly the way it came across but it's so interesting because you get- You're gonna hear or you think oh my god this is terrible! I can't listen to this but then you get to hear like overlays of one thing and another, and it's actually kind of a fascinating exercise to get through these 53 seconds. is

37:56 and we heard him again. He then repeated this call for election interference on the July 25th call between Biden and Trump to protect our sacred republic, who on the White House lawn further Can I stop? I know exactly how that happened. We can do the exact same thing here now. It's driving me crazy! Someone just left a fader open with the return and it came through, and then it goes through again and doubles back... But the question is which one did you leave open so there must have been a sound engineer freaking out

38:33 Freaking out over that. Like, where is this thing? It's going oh my god! But at this particular part of this clip was so... I listened to it a couple times and it was very entertaining because of her emphasis points they keep coming to the fore and like the emphasis point from either one of the two feeds Jumps ahead of the other one in some funny way. It's a very interesting clip it put in this show knows people should listen to it carefully Oh, of course, it's always under there's some brainwashing thing you can do with stuff like this Yeah, I listened to a lot of it on C-SPAN radio as well and that's why I heard some of these these problems This is the

Devin Nunes Ukraine Hoax and Steele Dossier Summary

Representative Devin Nunes delivers a scathing summary of the Democratic efforts to impeach Donald Trump, linking the current Ukraine investigation to the previous Russia collusion narrative. He cites the Steele Dossier and the role of the anonymous whistleblower as evidence of a coordinated "plan B" by intelligence officials and media hacks.

devin nunes· adam schiff· steele dossier· ukraine hoax· whistleblower

39:16 Okay, this is my last one. I'm just gonna play this one because I like the... Nunes did the best rap and Nunes is like the grand enemy of Schiff and I didn't put the whole thing in because Schiff maybe caught up but after Nunes goes on and on berating everybody it's very succinct Trump's inauguration Wait wait stop At the after this is over, Schiff says well thank you for that. You gotta listen to this. Trump's inauguration when the Democrats semi-official mouthpiece The Washington Post declared the campaign to impeach President Trump has begun For years the Democrats tried to expel the president with a preposterous accusation that he was a Russian agent as detailed by IG Horowitz

40:10 Dishonest intelligence officials used fake allegations spread by the Democrats to gain approval of a spying operation against the Trump campaign. As they falsely accused the Trump campaign of colluding with Russians, The Democrats themselves colluded with Russians To manufacture these allegations in the infamous Steele dossier They even tried to get nude pictures of Trump from Russian pranksters With the Russian collusion hoax, the Democrats had everything going for them Federal investigations run by Trump haters, an endless supply of media cheerleaders and a galaxy of left-wing interest groups amplifying the ridiculous message. And yet even with all those weapons at their disposal the Russia conspiracy theory collapsed so they quickly concocted plan B The Ukraine hoax was based on a supposed whistleblower who colluded beforehand with the Democrats

41:06 The Democrats then prevented Congress from interviewing the whistleblower while conducting bizarre secret depositions and selectively leaking testimony to discredited media hacks. The Democrats showcased the most useful witnesses in public hearings that somehow reduced support for impeachment It's not easy to make a coup attempt boring, but the Democrats found a way As it turns out, the American people don't think a routine phone call with a foreign leader is a good basis for ousting a U.S. president The Democrats also put forth ever-changing accusations against the President including campaign finance violations quid pro quos election interference bribery extortion Eventually they ended up with the ridiculous charges we consider today

41:54 abuse of power, an utterly meaningless term and obstruction of Congress. One Democrat has pronounced the president guilty simply because he won't cooperate with their plan to railroad him Did you have a chance to speak with your Lib Joes? Not about this But I do remember, we talked about this some time back and Nunes kind of mentioned it in passing which was that it was campaign finance or some other thing they're trying to nail Trump on from the Southern District of New York. Oh there wasn't an inaugural campaign? Yeah, inauguration fund. I mean don't have to go very far to find a LibDev

CHAPTER 14 / 60 Discussion

Dave Winer Blog and Democratic Election Perspectives

The hosts review a blog post by Dave Winer regarding the consequences of the 2018 midterm elections and the legitimacy of the Trump presidency. The discussion touches on the Democratic sentiment that Trump is an "improper" president and comparisons to the Russian electoral system under Vladimir Putin.

dave winer· podcasting· 2016 election· vladimir putin· constitutional law

42:33 and how this is all working on them. My co-inventor of podcasting, Dave Weiner I will... it's easy because he's kind of a very smart man John! He's obviously incredibly smart. That's a lot I'll just read from his blog. One of the Republican talking points yesterday during the impeachment debate is that the Dems lost the election and want to undo it this is incorrect! The Democrats won the last election and that's why Trump is impeached as they say elections have consequences I mean, that's a head shaker. That's a good one. Like give him credit for being creative impeachment is not a horse race it really doesn't matter by the way stop stop now to mention it I think a lot of Democrats think this is just desserts because he did lose the election He's the improper not my president president. Yeah, he's a fraud. He's a fake. He's the dog. He's not the president

43:33 Impeachment is not a horse race. It really doesn't matter who is president after the Constitution is gone, it can't be anyone but Trump! They will rig the election so that always works out that way As a preview in the last election Putin won in a landslide 77% of the vote Putin's opposition was not allowed to run Welcome to United States Assuming Trump is not removed from office You know the funny thing, there's another irony here besides my favorite irony of ironies which is where the demonstrations yesterday and the day before. And you gotta remind me about that

CHAPTER 15 / 60 Discussion

MoveOn.org Impeachment Rallies and Historical Irony

Protests calling for Trump's impeachment were organized across major U.S. cities by MoveOn.org. The hosts point out the historical irony that MoveOn.org was originally founded to advocate for "moving on" from the impeachment of Bill Clinton in the late 1990s.

moveon.org· bill clinton· impeachment rallies· grassroots organizing· political hypocrisy

44:13 But my favorite irony is Trump's an incompetent bonehead, doesn't know what he's doing but somehow he can rig elections. He can somehow subvert the entire political system! He said genius but no-no-no he's an idiot Is he an idiot or a genius? It's the same thing you heard with Bush Bush was a moron, but he was scheming. Morons don't usually scheme. But my favorite irony is the one they had all these... I tweeted about this as a bunch of these Not riots, but just demonstrations all across the country. There were a couple in the Bay Area. In fact I think have a list of them here. In fact they have a clip. Let's play this clip and then I'll give you my thing. This is the impeached democracy. This is the Democracy Now! rap on impeachment plus the riots. The House of Representatives is set to hold an historic vote today on two articles of impeachment against President Trump

45:06 The articles accuse President Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. They center on how President Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine, to pressure the Ukrainian president to investigate Trump's political rival Joe Biden and how Trump then tried to cover up his actions to thwart a congressional inquiry After a six-hour debate on the House floor, the Democratic-controlled House is expected to vote for impeachment by the end of the day—which would mark only the third time in U.S. history that a president has been impeached. Today's vote comes after the House Rules Committee approved the terms of today's debate which will allow no amendments on the floor. Trump lashed out directly at the vote Tuesday calling the attempt to remove him an attempted coup

45:48 They know it's a hoax, it's a witch hunt and just a continuation. It has been going on now for almost three years and probably started before I even won the election based on what we're finding out with insurance policy quotes and other things so...it is disgrace Trump lashed out at Democrats Tuesday in a six-page letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, accusing her—quote—of declaring open war on American democracy. Trump called the impeachment process an illegal partisan attempted coup. He also falsely claimed more due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem witch trials. Meanwhile, protesters held rallies calling for Trump's impeachment in cities across the country including Boston, New Orleans, Houston, Chicago and Los Angeles.

46:31 Philadelphia, Charlotte, Tucson Austin Seattle Des Moines and here in New York. Yeah the impeachment parties which according to Banyan is orchestrated by the forthcoming Clinton campaign I thought that was an interesting observation well the official people that were responsible for organizing make sure there was coordinated because I asked on Twitter or something I said this and he goes oh those are making all his approval I said, it makes a difference because I like to know. It's just point of order. What difference does it make to you? Who was it? Well, it was moveon.org. Right! Which is a Clinton motivated and funded thing. MoveOn started with them. Let's go back to the beginning of moveon.org. In fact even Eric who I discussed this with didn't know the irony... Nobody knows the irony of this

47:27 Wasn't it after Clinton's impeachment? Yes, the moveon.org thing was move on from impeachment! We don't need to talk about impeachment this impeachment thing is hurting the country I told you let's move on let's move on and so they're organizing this are you kidding me that's very ironic That ladies and gentlemen is irony yes a good one nuts What a bunch of hypocrites. Well I also watched a little bit of, I didn't want to watch PBS NewsHour actually someone sent me a screen capture which i put in the show notes under 25 or 45. The PBS News Hour was doing a live periscope so you could watch their periscope video of the impeachment debate now there was a caption

CHAPTER 16 / 60 Discussion

PBS NewsHour Periscope Bias and Tech Workplace Culture

A PBS NewsHour Periscope stream featured a caption calling Donald Trump a "racist treasonous man-child." The hosts discuss the infiltration of "social justice warriors" into media and tech companies, arguing that such internal cultures lead to overt institutional bias.

pbs newshour· periscope· social justice warriors· bias· silicon valley

48:23 So when you first fire it up, then it'll give you the title of whatever that periscope is. If you do for Scott Adams he might say impeachment derangement or whatever... That little title will be there as its connecting to the feed? Yeah! I don't know which millennial did this for the PBS NewsHour And here I'm going to read this caption as the caption is of the periscope actually connecting to the feed. The caption is, watch a racist treasonous man-child get fired live hashtag impeachment day hashtag Trump on PBS NewsHour and he's at PBS NewsHour is right there Did you get a screen capture? Yes! I told you have a screen cap of it pretty cool right oh that's fantastic

49:08 No bias here, ladies and gentlemen. Well the no bias thing also extends to The Washington Post who had a celebration party they had to take it down to post from Twitter. Yay! And then the other one was this Rubin woman, the one who claims to be the conservative blogger on The Washington Post she says that we should make dissent and I clipped this one too, I took a screenshot of her There's a tweet, she said that we should make December 18th a national holiday as impeachment day. And people should be required to read the articles of impeachment in the town squares across the country

49:54 Yeah, I've just... Wow! Just for yucks. I'm gonna give you the link to that in your Skype there if you have time take a look at it. Oh that's going in the newsletter now oh my god Now then I need to get back to this is really bad put it in the troll room too isn't fantastic? It could also have been someone at Periscope, I don't know because they've had weird screen things before. You know like when you start it up if you look really... you have to look real quick it says made proudly by immigrants in America or something there's all kinds of social justice warrior stuff around periscope and this is a real problem when you have social justice warriors

50:34 that have snuck into your company. The worst part is that they will just bring more of their friends in so you contaminate and I hate this, just block out a whole group of people but i think it's easier to do than it is blocked by sex or gender or anything else. Or by pedophile The social justice warriors are self-identify. You can always figure out who they are if you do the right kind of questioning, and legal questioning is really important in California because he gets sued if you don't hire somebody but you gotta keep these people all of them, the noodle boy types, you have to keep them out of your company. They should not be employed

Jason Crow Interview and Burisma Story Realization

Representative Jason Crow is criticized for a verbal slip where he suggested people should not be "distracted by what actually happened." Meanwhile, CNN's Jeffrey Toobin is noted for acknowledging that the Hunter Biden and Burisma story is a legitimate journalistic concern that Republicans have successfully highlighted.

jason crow· jeffrey toobin· burisma· hunter biden· journalism

51:15 It's very important, I'm telling you it is very important. These people are not good people they're bad people. It will grow like a sickness inside your organization. I'm gonna go back to the M5M first Judy just a quick little funny sound bite this was Congressman Crow And he kept saying at the end of the day throughout this interview, at the end of the day. But then after one at the end of the day, he said something even funnier. The constitutional law professor who testified before the House Judiciary Committee on behalf of the Republicans wrote today that this is the first impeachment process to go forward without in his words a recognized crime having been committed

52:00 Well, you know there certainly are some folks that I think could have that debate but at the end of the day let's not be distracted by what actually happened. What we know happened... Don't be distracted by what actually happened! Did i hear that wrong? Yeah, at the end of the day don't be distracted by what actually happened. Don't believe your lying eyes No no don't don't believe in all that But I thought Jeffrey Toobin on CNN was funny it was the funniest Because he's now coming to the realization that there is an actual story out there about Burisma and Hunter Biden, perhaps Joe Biden. But Hunter...that is a real story! And Jeffrey Toobin has now become a...he's gone from a constitutional lawyer

One America News Reporting on Biden Ukraine Indictment

One America News (OAN) reports on an official Ukrainian indictment alleging a money-laundering trail through Burisma to Hunter Biden. The report claims $900,000 was paid to Joe Biden for consulting services, suggesting that OAN is scooping mainstream outlets on the corruption narrative.

one america news· joe biden· hunter biden· burisma· money laundering

52:47 To a journalist and as a journalist, he doesn't know what to do. He's torn You know, what do we do with this story? Um you know What struck me about this hearing was how Donald Trump in a way has already won How much did we hear about Hunter Biden? over and over again about Hunter Biden. That's what the Republicans are talking about constantly, and you know there are questions about Hunter Biden's behavior and so I mean this incredible shift of emphasis and it's going to be a real challenge for us as journalists to decide how much to follow along with this.

53:27 I can't get over him saying, for us as journalists. Please! And you know it's going to be a real challenge for us as journalists to decide how much to follow along with this. To suppress this obviously good story, this fabulous story that could really make a career... It's gonna be really tough for us not to pick it up. You know it's gonna be a real challenge for us as journalists to decide how much to follow along with this but the idea that we are sitting here debating the country, the House Judiciary Committee is debating the impeachment of the President of the United States and over and over again we get how all these questions about the behavior of Hunter Biden, the president's perhaps most likely opponent. The son of... And you know I just don't know what our responsibility is as journalists because it's not the point but this is the news and this is what there. Yeah? And as journalists what to do well I'll tell you what's happening

54:26 MSNBC, CNN, Fox. You're all being run around by an actual news organization who is doing real reporting And they are doing good reporting. And people will eventually walk away from your bullshit, seriously! I mean it was truly the same movie on two different screens just switching from Fox to MSNBC or CNN you know Fox is that is the one side... regardless of what you believe It's not real- They're just giving opinion. It's not news its opinion You know who's doing news?

55:05 One American News! They interviewed the fired prosecutor from Ukraine and they're learning some interesting stuff. Tell us how their names are involved in these criminal cases you were looking into. How is Joe Biden and Hunter Biden's name involved? Durkacz goes at length talking about the political context in which Burisma was operating, evading taxes and giving away illegal licenses to certain individuals. At the end of it Ukrainian tax dollars were stolen and money laundered

55:43 through Burisma. Prosecutors presented before Ukrainian Parliament an official indictment showing a clear trail of money laundering going through Burisma and to Hunter Biden. Derkosch also mentions how it has been leaked from the prosecutor's office that an open case currently is looking into $900,000 found paid to Joe Biden from Ukraine for quote consulting services But the case is reportedly still ongoing and we don't yet have access to this document just days after the charisma announcement The prosecutor was fired clearly Burisma is still being protected Okay, they got a little creepy music there which I could do without but that's a little more than I'm getting from anywhere else And they're actually sitting down with people and talking to them. The actors who are mentioned in this whole saga are

56:40 I have to assume there's editorial meetings going on at the big, in the big boys offices. Yeah And they're beside themselves about this story and One America News Those guys are gonna scoop the New York Times and The Washington Post and everybody? Yeah. The One American News is going to scoop CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS... one of those big boys is gonna break ranks And they're gonna go after this story and everybody else is going to be left flat-footed, and the questions will begin. Why didn't you do this? You heard about it! The president brought it up! It's been in the news! They've been talking about it during the hearings! And what did what sit on your ass and did nothing?! Well New York Times would be... This is gonna be a massive scandal if

Lindsey Graham Opposition to Impeachment Show Trial

Senator Lindsey Graham expresses reluctance to hold a full "show trial" in the Senate with witnesses. The hosts suggest Graham's history with John McCain in Ukraine and potential ties to the $7 billion in lost U.S. aid may be influencing his desire to avoid a deep investigation into regional corruption.

lindsey graham· john mccain· ukraine· corruption· globalists

57:34 And I believe it probably is true because it doesn't make sense any other way. It's and these people are gonna have to pay the pipe right this not going to be fun to watch for them well it'll be fun for us oh yeah well again Lindy Hop Graham is still saying very clearly, I'm going to tell the president no to his witness request. Lindy Hop does not want a show trial And of course he doesn't. There's pictures of him with John McCain and the ambassador who was fired, the redhead getting medals from the Ukrainian government hanging out having a good time Of course he was buddies with McCain and went along for the ride He got sucked in His head is on the chopping block So he doesn't want this trial I don't know what Mitch

58:28 I'm telling you that the $7 billion of US taxpayer money, whatever it was that went in and got lost has gone into pockets of family members of Democrats and Republicans. And let's not even start to look at the China thing with Hunter Biden because that was a little bit bigger! So the corruption is what they're all afraid of CNN, MSNBC, NBCABC CBS Fox Many people are in on it. The FBI is still J Edgar Hoover, a leopard doesn't change its spots It's still a bunch of sex crazed nut jobs who want to honey pot people get mentally retarded People and jack them up with fake bombs and then string along for months and then call whoa another win against terrorism CIA has taken over many parts of the Pentagon

Eric Ciaramella CIA Background and John Brennan Connection

A report details the career of Eric Ciaramella, identifying him as a Yale graduate handpicked by former CIA Director John Brennan for a role at the National Security Council. The segment highlights Ciaramella's alleged history of left-wing activism and his rapid ascent within the intelligence community.

eric ciaramella· john brennan· cia· nsc· whistleblower

59:28 This is not my uncle CIA anymore. These are operatives of whatever mission they're on to control everything, globalists let's just call it that make it easy. Just globalist and they shut everybody else up and I think you need another three terms of Trump maybe to uncover at all but a little bit would be nice For instance, One America News once again about the so-called whistleblower. Yeah it's a very interesting case how this is unfolding and it's something that the press generally is not really digging into the way they should but Mr. Chiaramella actually came out of Yale which one of the Ivy League schools are are the traditional recruitment grounds for the agency at least in the past

1:00:13 that has evolved somewhat recently. But he came out of that background and also was one of the street protest guys, so he was a dedicated left-wing street protesting guy that was actually discovered in supporting protesting for a Muslim Brotherhood professor at the university and that's how he came to the surface From there, he was picked up and recruited back into the CIA where he eventually ended up at NSC. Along the way in his career, he'd had a little bit of experience with Ukraine nothing in-depth but some experience there and so from that based on that while at NSC

1:00:53 he became their go-to guy for Ukraine. That was how he came onto the scene and got involved in this process when he was picked up and brought into the CIA, put on the fast track that he was handpicked by former director John Brennan now we've all talked about John Brennan before he had a friendly attitude to Muslim Brotherhood during that period under the previous Obama administration And so this is a young man that would have fit that career track and type of personality they were looking for. So absolutely he was handpicked by John Brennan to go from the CIA over to that White House, NSC National Security Council is a White House job. So to have made that transition it would not and cannot have been done without at least of the knowledge and acquiescence of then director of the CIA John Brennan Nice little Muslim connection there Excellent well done I'm surprised these guys are doing something this real and its information

Lisa Page MSNBC Interview and Insurance Policy Analogy

Former FBI lawyer Lisa Page appeared on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow to explain her "insurance policy" text message regarding Donald Trump. Page characterized the phrase as an analogy for investigative steps taken in case of a Trump victory, while the hosts critique her legal logic and the "collective we" defense for her anti-Trump sentiments.

lisa page· rachel maddow· peter strzok· fbi· insurance policy

1:01:53 That was a former CIA guy, actually. Who is now a consultant so God knows what he's into Meanwhile What is the M5M doing? Well Rachel Maddow had to have something going on Oh here's her in-depth reporting as she brings on Lisa Page One half of the sexting duo of the FBI And she's just going with, I mean you'll listen to this minute and a half of her. It was great clip Yeah, she just telling Rachel Holy crap! Yeah and Rachel is like oh okay Oh i get it yeah sure. And Rachel has got those furtive eyes where their brows are in kind of turned up in the middle You know that look she's got

1:02:36 It has little to do with journalism as far as I'm concerned. In terms of the text messages and the allegations that have been made against you, um... You've sort of explained yourself in time putting these those text messages uh in greater context in terms of what they meant and the way they were used Please tell your story put them in greater context please give us the bullcrap that you're gonna do now Can you explain to us tonight what was meant by, for example the insurance policy text message. So this is you and Peter Strzok texting about the prospect that President Trump is going to be elected the unlikely prospect right? I mean it's an analogy first of all It's not my texts so I'm sort of interpreting what I believe he meant back three years ago. What she says is an analogy that cracked me up how in any known world is calling something an insurance policy

1:03:30 An analogy. It's just not, I mean it could be a metaphor, could be a simile there are things that can be...it could be symbolic but it is not an analogy! An analogy to what? Does she ever really say no? No well she does actually except its not the definition of an analogy but she will tell you what she meant. It actually means insurance policy It's not an analogy, it's exactly what it said. We're using an analogy. We're talking about whether or not we should take certain investigative steps, based on the likelihood that he's going to be president or not. You have to keep in mind if President Trump doesn't become president the national security risk if there is somebody in his campaign associated with Russia plummets

1:04:26 You're not so worried about what Russia's doing vis-a-vis a member of his campaign if he is now president. Because you are not going to have access to classified information, you are not going to have access sources and methods in our national security apparatus So the insurance policy was an analogy It is like an insurance policy when you're 40 She's a lawyer and she doesn't even understand the meaning of analogy. That is the sad thing, she is a lawyer. Don't expect to die when you are 40 yet you still have an insurance policy So don't just hope that he isn't going to be elected therefore not press forward with the investigation hoping but rather press forward with the investigation just in case he does get in there Exactly

1:05:03 What about the text message that- Why don't you tell her, Rachel what she's thinking? Good one. Yeah well she is totally leading there. Mind reader! Expect to die when you're 40 yet you still have an insurance policy So just hope he is not going to be elected and therefore not press forward at the investigation hoping but rather press forward at the investigation just in case he does get in there Exactly What about the text message which you instruct we are talking about your fear that Trump would be elected and he said No We won't let it happen I mean by we he's talking about the collective. We like-minded thoughtful sensible people who were not gonna vote this person into office John legend back to die when you're 40 insurance policy, and somehow I took us back in a minute that Trump would be elected And he said no we won't let it happen

1:05:50 I mean, by we he's talking about the collective we. Like-minded thoughtful sensible people who were not going to vote this person into office you know obviously in retrospect do i wish she hadn't sent it? Yes! It's been mutilated to death and its been used to bludgeon an institution that I love And it meant that I've disappointed countless people But this is a snapshot in time, carrying on a conversation that had happened earlier in the day. That reflected a broad sense of he's not going to be president we the democratic people of this country are not going to let it happen." Oh! That's what it meant. We the democratic people... What does that even mean? The democratic people of the country I don't know a lot of Republicans didn't like him

1:06:38 No, but what is the Democratic people? Not Democrats. She said the Democratic people People who believe in elections and people who don't which would be the Republicans I don't know it means nothing when she said her whole blather And by the way, she was made up so much. I looked at her and I couldn't recognize her The pictures we've seen of her roaming around the halls of whatever the FBI that did look a different person I'm not even sure this was her Yeah, well, yeah, that's good point It was her though. I'm pretty sure Meanwhile, tonight... What is the point? What does she gain from coming on in the first place. This is dumb! No I think it's a precursor for a possible Senate trial She's also apparently suing somebody over these...I think she's suing the FBI

1:08:22 I said quite a white group. And Glurin's an Indian! True, hahahah, I forgot to say that yes well anyway the mainstream press is deeming it very very white and in order to be on the stage...and actually Kamala Harris qualified but of course she dropped out... To be on the stage you had to have contributions from 200 thousand unique donors? You know Over a 12 year period we probably have had 200,000 unique donors so we could kind of qualify. It's just not in the right period. Two polls you must be polling at least 6% well you can buy that see Steyr 4 polls at 4%. What is this bull crap?

1:09:14 Jesus. Anyway, now it's so stupid it is so dumb and I'm sure tonight will all be about Trump and about the impeachment and about of course because we have one two three... We have what? Three four no we have three senators who will be in there wait Klobuchar is a senator Warrens a Senator Sanders are three. Three senators who will eventually and this is mind-blowing talk about your meddling in elections So you have a guy Who wants to run for re-election in 2020, so that's an election. And three people who are running against him will now actually be deciding if he is thrown out

CHAPTER 23 / 60 Discussion

Amazon Ring Cameras and Package Theft Marketing

The discussion touches on the irony of news reports featuring package thieves caught on Ring cameras. The hosts observe that Amazon effectively profits from the fear of theft by selling the surveillance equipment used to record the crimes.

1:09:59 office and in jail altogether. Oh they'll recuse themselves I'm sure! I don't think so somehow but that's how insane you know it's almost as insane as something else i realized around this time once again, you get the stories of package thieves and even the guy who did The Glitter Bomb he's done another one of these videos and its quite disturbing how many people steal Amazon packages from porches But what I realized is how twisted is it that we're watching news reports about people stealing Amazon packages recorded on a camera owned by Amazon? Yeah, and there's mind-blowing shit that's going on. That's marketing for you. They got it on all ends! Someone is really doing a good job there so yeah... It's kind of bizarre

CHAPTER 24 / 60 Discussion

ADOS Movement and Joy Reid Bot Claims

MSNBC's Joy Reid and guest Shereen Mitchell are criticized for labeling the ADOS (American Descendants of Slavery) movement as a "bot" campaign. The hosts argue that the mainstream media is attempting to delegitimize genuine black political dissent against Democratic candidates like Kamala Harris.

ados· joy reid· kamala harris· msnbc· open society institute

1:10:55 And once again, the machine is in full overdrive. The problem ladies and gentlemen is the black vote and when I say black I mean African-Americans. I personally would prefer to say Ados something we've learned here the American descendants of slavery That's the vote that can make all the difference. Certainly, Wall Street Pete has gotten a lot of heat. Wall Street Pete got the heat because black people don't like him according to the mainstream I didn't know if it was true or not even Saturday Night Live made jokes about it It wouldn't take much loss of let's just call it the black vote To screw up any Democrat

1:11:41 And you recall that when Kamala Harris announced she was running, the ADOS movement was kind of born and they started a Twitter campaign and YouTube campaigns. Real people! YouTube campaigns saying hold on a second she's not African-American she is Indian Jamaican that's fine but she's not going to represent us like we let Obama represent us who also wasn't African American And immediately Joy Reid and MSNBC came into action, and what did they say? Oh yes these tweets are by bots. These are just bots this nothing real it's just bot Russian bots probably just bots trying to bring down the black woman so they're back now even with Camilla gone

1:12:28 It is, the mission is to promote black women as being in charge of the vote of the household. Black men you don't know what you're doing You know? The black women are the ones we gotta go after and just last week it's the same woman with uh... What was her name again? The uh... Joy...it was Joy Reed with Shereen Mitchell So, you know months ago they were talking about it being bots who were these ADOS bots against Camilla. Now it's bots once again apparently!

1:13:08 pushing out negative information about a candidate that's been selected to be targeted, to turn black voters against them. But it's who they're using as the voice quote unquote the digital voice are supposedly also black people who are spreading that message and here's what you write about these fake accounts that are not necessarily really black people but who seem to be black people who are saying, hey Kamala's a cop or this person is bad for black people. Quote the fake accounts pretending to be black women matter not only in the disinformation campaigns but in every election there has been a constant number you write of fake accounts posing as black women since 2013 these fake accounts which pretend to be black women seem to be real people with real concerns

1:13:51 They connect with the American black community online, attempting to learn black vernacular and key issue areas. What would be the point of creating fake accounts who appear to be black women specifically? So this can't be real because no black woman ever would go against a Democrat! This cannot be it must be a bot and somehow they've learned It must be some of that AI we've been hearing about. They've learned how to actually tweet just like black women! It's astounding!! valuable to the Democratic Party is black women. We have identified at least five existing campaigns that are focused on getting black people to do only one thing, not vote for the Democrats. And can you name one of those five campaigns? I mean we put up from the report that there's a conversation about reparations that has to do with it. There's a criminal justice conversation. So reparations...

1:14:51 reparations, immigration and anything that has to do with the criminal justice system. So the reason that the targeting of Kamala around being a cop is important is because anything that hinges on criminal justice becomes a divisive issue. Very quickly we're out of time but how can people tell the difference between the real genuine thing Black Lives Matter and the ones that are just designed to make you not vote? How do you even tell? You can tell right away by the language that they use most of the time. But if we see anyone who says basically tangibles or, you're not getting our vote without us getting something back, you should start to pause and take a better look at what they're saying—better look at those accounts and seeing what they're saying

1:15:40 So the term tangibles is an absolute thing in the black community. Tangibles means if you're going to talk reparations, it's got to be something tangible not something you give a whole bunch of people and I know this because i do show with most have learned this so she these are two black women regardless of their actual cultural heritage doesn't matter they're black telling black women don't listen to those other blacks like they're bots I mean that is what is happening. To me it's very disturbing that this is on television It's on CNN No, MSNBC This was MSNBC I thought What's-Her-Name was on CNN? No Joy Reid is MSNBC Oh so that was Joy Reid It IS Joy Reid! MSNBC She's being interviewed by... Wait a minute Joy Reid is on MSNBC I watch this all day Yeah you do

1:16:42 Well, I thought Shireen was on CNN. No never she's never been on CNN and the Shireen Mitchell is She's part of the digital sisters now major support from Open Society Institute Come on We all know what's going on here But maybe maybe maybe may be this election the American people figure it out but i'm not holding my breath And well you shouldn't Oh brother. All right, you got anything else for around? I have a couple just kind of funny clips that still relate to the impeachment. Oh okay i thought you had maybe some 2020 stuff. Impeachment is good too well let's play a couple these clips this was uh this clip is and just because it's part of the um i guess just the hypocrisy of everything This is Adam Schiff early on

CHAPTER 25 / 60 Discussion

Adam Schiff Bipartisan Impeachment Flip-Flop

A clip from March 2019 shows Adam Schiff arguing that impeachment must be a bipartisan process to avoid being a "partisan exercise doomed for failure." The hosts contrast this previous stance with the current strictly partisan impeachment proceedings led by Schiff and Pelosi.

adam schiff· nancy pelosi· bipartisan· impeachment· political hypocrisy

1:17:46 At the beginning of the year, I think this is in March before anything started up and talking about how you couldn't really do an impeachment if it was just Democrats. You need to have Republicans on board. Oh yeah you gotta have everybody on board sure And he's very thoughtful about all this and he makes... He goes on and on It it's just like a head shaker The country through the trauma of failed impeachment An impeachment bipartisan process would have to be extraordinarily clear and compelling I don't foreclose that the possibility that the Mueller investigation will produce that or their own will, but i think the speaker is absolutely right. In its absence an impeachment becomes a partisan exercise doomed for failure and I see little to be gained by putting the country through that kind of wrenching experience as I've often remarked in the past

1:18:40 The only thing worse than putting the country through the trauma of an impeachment is putting the country through the trauma of a failed impeachment. What an idiot! And then we have this one... Thanks, Schiff. What an idiot. This is unbelievable Then we have this one which is Jamie Raskin, the kind of guy with the... I'm just gonna say it. Pubic hair on his head. He is, this is before the inauguration. People say well you know The Washington Post they ran an article three days right after Trump was inaugurated that impeachment began it was on two days later This is before the inauguration I want to say this for Donald Trump who I may well be voting to impeach over the next year or two But wait

CHAPTER 26 / 60 Discussion

Al Green and Jamie Raskin Early Impeachment Calls

Representatives Al Green and Jamie Raskin are featured in clips calling for Donald Trump's impeachment long before the Ukraine phone call occurred. Green argues on Democracy Now! that impeachment is necessary to prevent the U.S. from becoming a monarchy and to stop Trump's re-election.

al green· jamie raskin· democracy now· monarchy· 2020 election

1:19:53 I wanna say this. So they just got drowned out by the applause, this is why Pelosi is so worried about the Democrats spiking the ball on this impeachment vote because it's like very... It's not a good look! It's not a good look as rude and here's the guy hasn't even done one thing in office and Raskin is already voting to impeach him. He's worse than the Al Green and Maxine Waters of the world, I mean that to me is just irresponsible especially for a legislative guy while we're on the topics as they get these out of the way this is Al Green who came on Democracy Now!

1:20:40 We don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected. If we don't impeach him, he will say that he has been vindicated. That's Houston Congressmember Al Green repeatedly calling for impeachment from the House floor joining us now on this historic day what many are calling Impeachment Day Oh! Do we have Al Green on the show? Yeah. What many are calling impeachment day, welcome to Democracy Now! Congressmember Green your thoughts on this day? Well thank you for having me Miss Goodman This is a day for us to reflect upon love of country We're at the crossroads of accountability Either we will hold the president accountable For his impeachable behavior or we will be held accountable

1:21:26 But, as important as that is, it will also mean that we will lose some of our democracy. A president has to have guardrails. A president has to know that there are boundaries. If the president perceives that there are no boundaries and does what he has concluded is within his all power granted under Article 2—and Then, I think we will lose some of our democracy and we march toward a monarchy. We didn't buy into a monarchy—we bought into a democracy. And as Franklin said, we have this republic if we can keep it. I plan to do all that I can to help us keep the republic that I love." I mean what's interesting Congressman Green is you have been calling for this repeatedly for the last two years for different reasons among them

1:22:15 Can you talk about what it means at this point that it has been narrowed, these two charges against Trump to abuse of power and obstruction of Congress? Are you satisfied with this? Initially, Ms. Goodman the call was for his obstruction as a relates to the investigation into his campaign, the Russian intrusion into the campaign and into our election You might recall that Mr. Comey was fired summarily, and the president went on national TV at prime time and confessed that he was considering the investigation. But I then moved on because I saw the level of bigotry emanating from the presidency. I saw the various invidious phobias that he tended to project

1:23:11 than to push. I saw how the country was starting to become more unsettled. Oh, God! All right, I'm just going to say it one more time. 80% of Congress and that's the House of Representatives and the Senate consists of people 65 and older some deep in their 70s. They still think this is how you run the country, you give an interview, you tell them some bullcrap, you go on and give an interview to The New York Times do the 60-minute and you're done! Unfortunately for quite a while now we've been able to read documents ourselves get stuff on the internet they still think that it's run that way they don't realize that its changed Now may not have changed enough for this upcoming election but

1:24:04 I think that a lot of people are going to get railroaded out. I hope so! Get these people out! Some of them like Al Green are so locked in, it's just like the Republicans who were so... Oh we're gonna vote out Nancy Pelosi? Nancy Pelosi's district in San Francisco is a shithole It's, yes and they all vote for Nancy Pelosi. Yeah that's... I mean to an extreme. Isn't it von Munchhausen? You could run somebody against her and it would be 75% for Nancy Pelosi. Isn't that Munchausen disease when you love your captor in all they do? That Stockholm syndrome. Okay one of those. One of those. Messing them up. Munchhausen-Stockholm syndrome. It's all bad!

CHAPTER 27 / 60 Discussion

No Agenda Value-for-Value Model and Art Submissions

The hosts thank the "Troll Room" and artist Larry Dane for the episode's artwork featuring a silhouette of Hillary Clinton. They explain the "value-for-value" model, which relies on listener support rather than traditional advertising to maintain editorial independence.

value-for-value· no agenda shop· larry dane· hillary clinton· podcast monetization

1:24:54 Yeah, well these people are bad. Well with that I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who literally just put the C in CNN's joy read show John Cena! Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, although in the morning all ships and sea boots on the ground feet in the air subs into water and all the dames and knights out there In the morning too! All of our trolls in The Troll Room who have been with us... The troll room has been with us for over a decade almost as long as the show itself exists And you can find The Troll Room by going

1:25:31 at noagendastream.com where you can also listen to the same thing all the trolls are listening to with that moment and troll along! And sometimes, you can have some fun, pass a message on whoever's pronounsticating it's a fabulous place to be and its great community and let me see how many trolls we got here today... Let me see on this stream today... Nice 1068 not bad for the second Thursday of the week Thank you trolls for everything. You've done for us over the past 1200 episodes Also a big in the morning to the artist four episode 1199 we titled that slackified this was brought by Larry Dane who has done multiple submissions I don't think we ever chose one of his pieces of art and it was a very interesting

1:26:20 interesting one. It was a silhouette of clearly Hillary Clinton, which by itself I don't think i've seen in an iconic Hillary silhouette anywhere This was why it was interesting. We had trouble picking art for this show, but Adam kept gravitating toward this piece not because he liked it but he was fascinated and I have to agree with him...I wasn't at first because I just kind of took it for granted when he mentioned it He was fascinated by the silhouette Because this silhouette really brought forward Hillary It was Hillary

1:26:59 And it wasn't like a normal silhouette, like a profile of some head or anything that you would normally think of. It was a body silhouette and for some reason it just said Hillary. And then the blood splatters... It's just bonus! The blood splatter I caught... He said well thats what made it for me. Blood Splatter! Way to go! Yeah, so he picked it. Imagine doing that on a show where you have advertisers. Hmm gee somehow I think that wouldn't last very long Thank you very much Larry. Larry Dane, NoahArtGenerator.com is where you can find all the artwork our artists work on diligently and if you want you can submit your own a lot of this is used as John already mentioned in artwork for our newsletter use art for pre-announcing the show when we go live and some of it also appears on merchandise T-shirts hoodies hats

1:27:59 Mugs and more at noagendashop.com, which I think they're doing a whole new overhaul of the shops So excited to see what they come up with And in that case everybody gets a piece of it The artist most importantly as well As the shop guys and even the show itself receive some of that is part of our value for value network We've been doing this since pretty much the beginning of the show It's the only way that we have seen The only way we saw, the only path we saw really to be able to discuss the topics we want to discuss because it's inherently not brand safe. and it's not brand safe to have, case in point a silhouette of Hillary with blood splatters. This is not brand safe! Funny? Yes. Brand safe? No. So we chose a different method it's a very long slow road it took us awhile to get up to speed were sustaining and I look forward to at least another 10 more episodes of the best podcast in the universe after this 1200 episode for which you would like to thank

Sir Animus Dame Matching Campaign and Donation Code

Sir Animus of Lower Slobovia initiates a "Dame Matching Campaign," donating $1,301 to sponsor twelve Damehoods for female producers who contribute $55.10. The segment includes a complex set of instructions and a preamble regarding social identifiers and "beings" on a computer printout.

sir animus· damehood· donation· madrasa· lower slobovia

1:28:59 our executive producers and associate executive producers right now. Indeed, starting with Sir Animus of Lower Slobovia of Dogpatch in lower Slobovia. Yowza always looking forward to his notes. He came up with a note and an offer I don't know how this is going to work. I'm gonna read this, and you...I've read it already and i don't fully understand but then starting to get it we're gonna have to analyze this because its important because he donated $1301 dollars another...is this the same amount or is this another code amount? I've never seen this amount before ever 1301

1:29:39 Yeah, we should write these down. You haven't been writing down the code since the minute he came on. I'm not a code breaker. Oh, outstanding. Thank you for thank you to all the producers that keeps this program running. The V4V model works For many years I have copied promotions. If you want to improve attendance in your small third world village schools, do what the madrasas do offer a free lunch so the father does not have to feed the children especially the young daughters. Walmart's, I don't know if that tells me something but I'm not sure. Walmarts anonymous payoff of layoff debt

1:30:29 Layaway debt is an idea worth copying. This is where it's gonna lead by the way. Okay, any woman girl slash female donating at least $55 and 10 cents and not a smoking hot wife girlfriend sent by others but actually sent by the woman to be titled will be given credit for my monthly donation beginning with the donations through December 2020 Wow so wait a minute So this is a Dame Drive essentially He's part of the Dame Drive and he's gonna give away 12 Dame hoods.

1:31:05 And so what are the requirements? Oh, this is good. This is good! One caveat... Well I will not insist on an abaya A-B-A-Y-A nor a hijab at the roundtable to retain the credit Wait a minute he's not gonna bring religion into the equation That's what he's trying to say yeah He mentioned the madrasa gambit which I think it's actually pretty good idea One caveat, while I will not be able to go on. Durante, to retain the credit the individual must donate at least another $50 within a month. I would do a lower amount but we need transparency for all of producers. What if there are no women donors? The random week I donate

1:31:55 Go back one week and so designate one. Otherwise it is just that this is like the instructions on Parcheesi." It also sounds like a Trump donation pitch You know, three-time match! I don't understand. Okay so... Otherwise it's just another producer credit for dogpatchians and lower Slobovians. Divide the credit equally if there are more than one woman donor with the requisite donation but then again each must donate another at least $50 within a month to retain the credit from this offer hopefully this will increase number of Dame Lady producers

1:32:35 Separately and for fun, I am sharing a presentation preamble. I had vetted for a specific situation." This is part of his speech of his now that we're going to have to talk about this for a second to figure out what he's up with. Yeah. Now here's this thing attention ladies and gentlemen terms I use to reflect social behavior in this presentation and not gender Okay, he's making the excuse. He is already going rogue with ladies and gentlemen. I am going to circulate to each of you a list of identifiers from a computer-generated printout

1:33:16 that came from your administration. I understand the identifiers may no longer be valid, however to be on this computer generated printout, I was told the identifiers were extracted from verified sources authorized by the beings on the print out." I have 24 beings listed using these identifiers. If the identifier is no longer valid, please correct the identifier for my records. For those using symbols or identifiers that are not easily understood or pronounced, please provide a phonetic pronunciation that the instructor may use." Okay. N-J-N-K. That's it. All right. Could you break that down to me in something I can pop in my mouth and understand? No! So how does it work?

1:34:06 Well, I don't know what the point of this last part was. Which was apparently something he gives at the beginning of some talks he gives somewhere or whatever he talks about we don't know this guy Or anything about him But he wants to give a Damehood a month out Okay that i'm digging And so... He's really expecting the Dames to contribute double nickel on the dime plus $50 So in two separate donations Okay And they have to be within a week, one side or the other of his donation when it comes in. Okay so if you hear Dogpatch and is this the first one? No no starts in January So if Dogpatch comes in with his donation and you hear it You come in with a double nickel... Sironimus by the way's name not dog patch I just call him Dogpatch Hey! I'm on first-name basis with him Dogpatch So Dogpatch comes in Sironimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slobovia

1:35:05 Then you within a week, you've got to donate essentially 110 and then he grants you your day. No 105 1050 double nickels on the dime Yes Okay I think well he's being very it's very Well, he realizes that he does these donations a lot and when he does them there's just a knighthood that could be granted. And so he decided to grant... I think that's fantastic. Every time he does one of these is going to grant a Dame-hood So basically this is our version of the Madras. There's free lunch here

1:35:41 Come on, if I understand what he's saying. Follow the successful... That would be the symbolism. Follow the successful formula well thank you very much Sir Otimus of Dogpatch in Lower Slovovia also known as YoDog to me You've been such a strong supporter of this show. I hope one day, I do get to meet you to thank you in person. Every way you communicate suggests to me that'll never happen but I certainly do hope so. That's for sure or if it does happen, you won't know it! Exactly exactly well thank y'all thank you very much My name is Shmish

CHAPTER 29 / 60 Discussion

Borislav Marinov and VP Jobs Karma

Producer Borislav Marinov joins the 1200 Club with a donation of $1,219.19. The hosts discuss various "Jobs Karma" jingles, including a new version featuring Vice President Mike Pence, and the psychological power of repeating words in threes.

borislav marinov· jobs karma· mike pence· nancy pelosi· 1200 club

1:36:19 Onward. We'll get that worked out and write it up as part of the... I'm just gonna give him a goat karma, just because he's there you know? You've got karma! I don't think that's too much to do for him. Onward with Borislav Marinov. Ooh, Borislav. Borislav Another name that has been around for years and years Yes another name that has been around for a long time And another guy we don't know 1219-19 Which is uh 12, 1919 is just under $19 or over 1200. We'll put him in the club. Oh yeah. Oh he's still in the club. Demond is just a show date 12, 1919 man!

1:37:00 Which is exactly right. 1219, which coincidentally we could have put that in the newsletter. Another gambit we missed! Yeah well please send some winning against a frivolous lawsuit karma and some jobs karma Oh my goodness well we need to pile it on for you there Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs Let's vote for jobs You've got karma. I, um... By the way we got a new Jobs We know we have four currently you've got the one you just heard We have two different Trump jobsers and we've got the Nancy and Trump jobs And now add this one to it which we recorded yesterday Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! That's Pence so in case anybody wants a VP Jobs Karma we have that now as well

1:37:52 Okay, good to know. How many years have we been using this? At least 10. Yeah and these politicians still come out and say it like they just invented it Hey, I got a good one. It's it's a variation on if you're going to take it as like the way jokes operate and do variations this is the variation on the location location location which is the classic old line well how do you pick a good real estate spot? Location location occasion that evolved and devolved into developers developers developers Oh God! Steve Ballmer I forgot about that well also anytime you say something thrice

1:38:32 Apparently then it sticks in people's minds if you say it three times. It does, but the original Nancy one breaks the rules and its four times! Jobs jobs jobs and jobs You're right its an AND jobs that may be the power of it now that I think about everyone else just does a 3-peat but I think your right. Breaks the rules man! Well, good luck with it Boris Loftin. Thank you for supporting us. Sir Baron sir Dreb Scott of the ELB Express who actually gave two twice in today's show he's gonna I don't know we had to probably double credit him

CHAPTER 30 / 60 Discussion

Viscount Dreb Scott and GE Stack Ranking

Baron Sir Dreb Scott is elevated to Viscount status after a $1,200 donation. The discussion tangents into corporate culture, specifically the "360 review" and "stack ranking" systems at General Electric and Microsoft, which the hosts argue are detrimental to employee morale.

dreb scott· general electric· stack ranking· 360 review· viscount

1:39:11 But he gave $1,200 to become a member of the 1,200 Club and celebrate the 1,200 shows. I always ask for no jingles nor commer about my last donation I mentioned coming out of the fog of war of new twins to go along with their two-year old three kids under 3 at 40 years. I wanted to thank you for that. Oh sorry let me read it again He's got three kids under three and he's 40 years old. It's no joke I'm sorry, I think that's why I gave him a gratuitous karma But I heard that like oh man And it provided me with karma even though I didn't request it and I wanted to thank you for the Karma well recently at work I had to write my annual self appraisal Yes, it's called a 360 review actually

1:40:02 Did you know this? No, I did not. Yeah it's a 360 where you write about yourself You also review your direct manager which is always a fun thing to do and then the manager also of course will review you 360 yeah this sounds like a part of a stack ranking scheme which is the worst thing for companies I've never done anything like this I've always been in companies where there's just old-fashioned reviews if at all It seems to me instead of reviewing somebody you bring him into the office tell them what you think just tell them hey You know, you're doing a pretty good job. Well Stop right there. I just need to bring it up We'll come back to it later after all these segments are also content under the heading slackified at GE At General Electric the way your boss reviews you is

1:40:59 is with, and I'm not sure if they're actual digital stickers or if they are just words but the under in there in the review category under insights you can send someone a consider or a continue So continue means you did a good job, continue doing your job. Consider means you need to work on it a little bit and that's it! It's two words. It's either continue or consider This is probably, I don't know this but i'm just saying. I know about General Electric's early experiments with stack ranking that Jack Welch implemented That was the beginning of the end for General Electric and they have pulled it. And Microsoft pulled Stack Ranking. I've written about this alot

1:41:53 And it's a very onerous methodology. It makes yes men show up, it makes the real creative types quit the company or you kick them out and is detrimental to most companies in fact Microsoft was sliding until they got rid of their stack ranking and General Electric is still in the tank. This sounds like a modification. Yeah well its part of the new the new way we communicate, just one word or an emoji. Personally I think you should just boil it down to a smiley face or poop emoji that's the easiest way to understand. Yeah well this is idiotic and never had this happen to me and i'm glad yeah anyway back to the note recently at work have had to write my annual self appraisal which is dumb

1:42:43 I was really hard on myself i didn't think i had performed well this year due to the fog of war mentioned above twins kids whatever my manager had a complete opposite opinion he wrote me a great review and noted that i exceeded expectations He's kind of crediting this to the karma, I think. That phase is only used at my company when a promotion or significant raise is on the way. Code! That's great. Nice. Great. I also received two bonus checks from other departments for work I completed on projects we worked on together. That's nice. I attributed this directly to the karma. Thanks again for the karma

1:43:22 Dropping the tea is the other day i had to go with my three year old she loves going there and recognizes the route as well as the sign for the store when she said yeah a costco costco without teeth oh no crap moment, i realize i've been dropping that he from costco free years. I quickly corrected her now pronounce it costco By my accounting, my donations this episode bring me to Viscount status but I have yet to claim the protectorate. If the Peerage Committee approves and I did in the Peerage Committee...I've just checked with them they approve immediately we read this note earlier and it has been approved. Viscount at large see what? I'm just laughing I didn't even get invited to the meeting! You're not on the peerage committee!

1:44:14 Viscount at large seems appropriate for me. My accounting is below you, anyways, viscountatlarge Thank you for the amygdala protecting deconstruction twice weekly on Thursdays keep up the good work! And a note about that as we I don't know if it's because of the animated no agenda or why exactly people are talking about their amygdalas more often these days in donation notes That is a by and you know John I didn't start out to we didn't start this show say hey, I got an idea Let's heal people This was not the original intent of the show But that it happens and that people feel much better, and we do have some science with the amygdala behind it.

CHAPTER 31 / 60 Discussion

Amygdala Health and Political Stress Response

The hosts discuss the "No Agenda" effect on the human amygdala, claiming the show helps keep the brain's stress center "small, firm, and round." They joke about the "reptilian" state of individuals who react animalistically to mentions of Donald Trump.

amygdala· orange man bad· stress response· medical professional· biology

1:45:17 Yeah, it's very appreciated. We should mention the amygdala thing It turns out that if you sit around and we've discussed this we had a whole almost a whole show about it It turns out medical evidence about people who sit around like that woman in green who scream on no Because Trump got elected and the people they're all bent out of shape because when you mentioned Trump Oh They will their amygdalas wells up yeah and it makes them more animal-like. And my phone is ringing... I'll take over from here, and when you get into the animalistic state or some would say reptilian with an enlarged amygdala You are very sensitive to danger so you're going to respond in a very primal way to anything that you perceive as danger Of course we know what danger is orange man bad! It's a chemical thing that takes place

Executive Producer Special Designators and Extravaganza Titles

The hosts explain the value of "Special Extravaganza" executive producer titles for show 1200. These designators are intended for use on professional resumes and LinkedIn profiles to signify a producer's contribution to a major milestone broadcast.

david fugazotto· executive producer· linkedin· bob hope· special extravaganza

1:48:48 more vital now than ever. Dare I say you're hitting your stride? Just hitting your stride! We're just hitting something, stop the hammering. Your hard work is appreciated thank you for all you do if time persists remind people to listen to The Grumpy Old Benz grumpyoldbenz.com Merry Christmas Merry Christmas Sir Darren David Fugazotto 360 33 And he starts off, he by the way is the baron of Saudi Arabia and Peninsula. He's got quite a title yes! He has got a big title. Yay! He says. Congrats on all another milestone thank you for your courage all the producers Fugazotto. Yes Dave Melody, Dave Isabella thank you very much David. Push 333 33

1:49:42 Today I give in the name of my best friend pain. Please give a PAY any kid please Give him a birthday shout-out dead it backdated to the seventh. I don't know if we got that or not Yeah, yeah, I got it. I have the date which will live in infamy. I weighed did the birthday what? I weighed the birthday and the 1200s and decided that he could benefit from more than 12 the 1200 show as his executive producership claim Okay gets it I hit him in the mouth during a ramp up to the impeachment 2016. He can have credit, but i'm claiming the de-douching. So then did he do? You've been deduced. Now to contradict the whole note... ...He says please call him out as a douchebag! Before throwing some goat style karma new human resource karma his way.

1:50:39 These are all special associate executive producers for the 1200th show, The Extravaganza. Yes please... We have a couple more of these and then there won't be any more until July. Explain the special how it works? Well this is the idea is we noticed that in showbiz, they have all these specials they do. And it's not just the Bob Hope Christmas Special and being an executive producer of the Bob Hope Christmas Special is a little more interesting than being the producer of Show 1110. So we offer this special thing so you can use this as a title in your job thing to say Executive Producer for Show 12, The Special

1:51:28 extravaganza show 1200 of the no agenda show and that's a special designator that you get for this for very few shows. That's your name, the extravaganza? I think that's good you can come up with something better. I mean that literally is a Bob Hope type show title, Extravaganza! Yeah well it isn't extravaganza these shows go way beyond three hours and they're usually pretty good but the point is that this is a special designator in this Christmas special wouldn't be an extravaganza there would be another one coming up the Christmas special There could be a New Year's special, I guess we could do that. But then there is nothing until July 4th so this is your last chance to get in on these kind of things for your... These are people who need it on their bio

I do have a couple other quick items of business to take care of big shout out to Void Zero. Void Zero has been running

2:19:38 and architected our servers, our distribution network and has kept the cost incredibly low because of it. He has a number of things to celebrate first of all Stephen his son who you might have heard on several of the pre-show streams on noagendastream.com turned four on Tuesday so we'll have him in the birthday list They're expecting their second child in February and last Wednesday he and Iris, his much better half after living together for 11 years they got married.

dvorak stories· jennifer lopez· hustlers· strip club· storytelling

2:22:37 As John said, it definitely looks a little special when you have a title like that as an executive producer or associate executive producer. Thank you so much and remember that we are here for another couple of episodes! We're gonna go on will keep counting and you can support us! And you can speak very clearly to the impeachment because you know it now Our formula is this...we go out, we hit people in the mouth Democrats have no agenda. We should mention that the next show will be a special of The Dvorak Stories? Yes, and

2:23:25 Yes, we're taking a rare show off but this will be just before Christmas and of course we'll take you all the way into the new year after that. And we'll be working as a Christmas show and the New Year's Show and everything else. Just at 22nd there are a couple shows that were put together by one of our producers that are my stories, my boring stories everyone thinks are hilarious And then Adam's Boring Stories, which everyone thinks are hilarious. So we're going to have two of these shows but we're gonna do my stories first and then Adams will fall probably sometime next year We'll do that one now and what marketing class taught you to promote it as the boring stories? No I think people think they're hilarious. I said that very clearly Oh, oh you said my boring stories in Adams. Well there are my boring stories They're not boring their fan by the way. Oh my goodness. I didn't have time to clip it. We watched hustlers

2:24:24 You know the J-Lo movie? I don't remember that movie. No, no it's brand new It's a streaming and I will clip it for the next time we speak because Part of its in a strip club In the heyday of the 90s with when The Banker where everybody had money in New York And there's a guy bringing the girls on stage John it is exactly your Raven bit it is I mean you hear you watch that that movie and they'd be like oh my god John not only nailed it he probably made the category. What a writing credit! I'm literally sitting on the couch going, give it up for Raven as you must see this very good so that actually very excited about it but I've not checked the show I have not listened to it all the way through some of John's stories and

General Stephen Kwast and Space-Based Solar Power

Retired Air Force General Stephen Kwast delivers a speech regarding the strategic importance of Space Force. He claims that technology exists today to deliver wireless energy and Wi-Fi from space, potentially changing world power dynamics and eliminating the need for traditional power grids.

stephen kwast· space force· wireless power· tesla· free energy

2:25:15 Nick the majority of John stories are hilarious for multiple reasons I think the interplay between the two of us makes it work really well And I think you'll have a good time. Thank you enjoyed that very much Do we need to do the intros and outros? Yeah, I think we do We gotta do right after today's show yeah, I think we should hey I am I got an interesting Video that was sent to me, and it was a speech at forget which university it was, it's Stephen Kvast. K-W-A-S-T retired Air Force General and he was talking about space and in particular why Space Force is so incredibly important! And I think that we both feel that you know obviously space warfare has been going on for a long time people

2:26:15 You kid me about it, but I'm-I am serious. I think there's a lot more going on in space than we realize and there are satellites that are chopping other satellites out But this is way beyond that and if it wasn't a retired Air Force General I would say this is second half of show kooky nutjob stuff Listen to what he says about what we're actually going to get from space. I'll give you a hint Free energy baby. Energy, the seed corn of all development all growth all survivor survival energy so energy transportation information and manufacturing These are the things that change humanity that will change world power And they are descending upon us in ways that are very unique but technology is on the engineering benches today

2:27:06 But most Americans and most in Congress have not had time to really look deeply at what's going on here. But I've had the benefit of 33 years of studying and becoming friends with these engineers, these scientists This technology can be built today with technology that is not developmental To deliver any human being from any place on planet Earth to any other place in less than an hour. To deliver Wi-Fi from space where you never need a cell tower to connect to deliver energy from space where you never have to plug your phone in and it trickle charges, and you can use that energy over time. It can be applied to cars, to houses... The technology of Edison and Tesla that we live with in our energy environment, our paradigm today is expensive, dangerous, wasteful plugging into the wall but yet that's what we all do because we are used to paradigms

2:28:00 The power of space will change world power forever. And it doesn't have to be a big country to do it, It can be small island country let's say New Zealand because the technology if optimized can change world power and there is nothing you can do if you don't have that power the nature of power You either have it and your values rule or you do not have it and you must submit We see that play out again in history But it's playing out now. Space Force! I mean, could the guy have done any better? Threw in a 33, he's bringing up Tesla... Free electricity from space?! Nice! You know if you subtract the votes for impeachment for the votes against it, you get 33

2:28:52 All right. And it only works because three Democrats abstained or didn't abstain, but they didn't care. I don't care where we have free energy coming from space. We got nothing coming from space. You know what? I mean, I only got this early this morning so I need to delve in much deeper but this is my beat and he's right. I think there are definitely ways... Tesla was doing this wireless power Change the paradigm and for sure you want a space force protecting that. I like it Okay, you glad you like it. You're skeptical had the counter clip to that and if I'm looking on my list And I realized that I lost it in the shuffle yeah So sorry you had a counterclip to this Powerfully had a counter clip to that power from space But just pretty much don't have it so I can't yeah I'm not even gonna discuss travel a human being can travel from one spot on the earth to another within an hour

2:29:55 Yeah, that's smoke enough dope anything can happen. Okay you mock alright but I...you mock! I'm diving in my beat laugh all you want um i'll be there in an hour to beat you up yeah well that remains to be seen and this is an IPO we got to get in on whoever's doing it we gotta figure that one out. We gotta get in on that IPO Well were on the topic yes We might as well since you go off to deep in there with that one. Let's go to the I got my Miss Universe clips Excuse me, Deep End a general a US General and I'm off the Deep End No, he Harvey fouled up again. Didn't we already do this? Oh

No, we talked about doing it and you said I gave you options...I wanted to the Miss Universe clips Oh and I said no let's not do it You said NO Okay, I guess now I have to allow it Alright where are we going? Steve Harvey Well lets start with the foul up so that we can get that out of the way We've got the swimsuit and evening gown competitions coming up, but right now I want to talk about some wardrobe that was even more elaborate. Earlier this week all the contestants competed in a national costume contest here's a look at the winner Philippines

2:31:29 This is it right here. I thought i had on some fly but girl you just woo Cake and oranges and potato chips this is a lot Yes It's not Philippines, its Malaysia Okay well let me explain something to you I just read that in the teleprompter y'all gonna quit doing this to me Oh man, are they out to get him? Is that what they want? Well if you saw the outfit he was wearing I'm pretty sure they are out to get him. I really didn't watch this time, i'm sorry it's your beep Okay, I found a clip The counter-clip to the clip you played, I'm sorry I was looking at the wrong list like an idiot It's because you don't have any power from space Well if I had power from space I'd be a lot better off Here is the clip that counters your clip and this is Alex Jones

2:32:20 Here, let me give you some classified stuff. Elon Musk a few months ago had his meeting with the Vice President and they're pitching their secret moon base right now and they've already got their big 3D printers Excuse me? He's taking my bit! He's taking the moon base bit from me now. They've already boosted into orbit, they already have been delivered some of them to the dark side of the moon would you like to know the crater number? It's about a half mile right over on the dark side and they're already setting up this facility with these big 3D printers for the Mars launch if you even believe any of that Yeah Elon... You know I just really released super classified information about the Moon Base they are building

2:33:00 We'll see if I'm dead in a week, I really don't care. Yeah! This isn't a bunch of BSQ crap folks you're getting the real thing right here because there's always the real McCoy isn't there? There isn't just a bunch of counterfeits and fakes...there's always the REAL THING Everybody knows the real thing when they hear it everybody knows the real thing when they see it Everybody knows the real thing when they feel it. All right, so you're just mocking me when I'm really serious about About this this guy in this Tesla power point energy? I have studied a lot of Tesla and by the way Trump is connected to Tesla You know there's connections with his uncle. I think uncle or granduncle

2:33:47 would be grand uncle I think. No idea yes and he was in possession of some of Tesla's, it was at MIT! He came into possesion a lot of Teslas papers after he you know died or disintegrated or whatever in the hotel in New York and we've talked about that on the show as well don't do that to me man with Alex Jones bull crap with a TR3 beta astro I know all about that We're talking about power from space, man. Charging your phone! People will care about this they don't care about a moon base What? You can charge my phone wirelessly okay now I'm all in trust me This is big well when you get the wireless space charger Let me know I will have my phone in the drawer where it belongs And I'll be charging it while you're not even looking at it that could happen

Nigel Farage EU Exit Speech and Polexit

Nigel Farage delivers his final speech to the European Parliament, celebrating the UK's departure from the "prison of nations." The hosts discuss the possibility of "Polexit" as Poland faces friction with the EU over climate funding and nuclear energy policies.

nigel farage· brexit· european union· poland· cop25

2:34:40 All right, so you want to do I just want to talk a little bit about Brexit and Boris and the little English bring the American public up to date a little bit since nobody else will. Yes, let me start with a clip from Farage possibly his last speech in the European Union Parliament also known as The Powerless Starfleet Command After three-and-a-half years of deception and dishonesty we will be leaving this prison of nations at the end of January We won't become a third country as I've been hearing this morning. No, we're going to become an independent self-governing nation and you can delude yourselves this morning inside this cathedral that all is well but it isn't

2:35:25 It isn't. People do not want to be run and governed by faceless bureaucrats like Michel and von der Leyen Did you hear them earlier? Dull as ditch water You're being rejected And it's great news that in Poland opinion polls now show a majority of Poles think they'd be better off outside the European Union Brexit is the beginning of the end of this project We are giving leadership, I will take it to Europe of sovereign states working together, being friends together but not being wrong. But the gang down at the middle there. And this Poland that is indeed a news item that Poland threatens to leave the EU

2:36:11 And I would mention as an aside that they got in a bit of a tiff at the COP25 climate negotiation where they said, no we need more money and we want to put some nuclear into the mix. So they're there's a little bastard child now but when if Poland wants leave what will we call it? Polexit? Plexit? Polexit! But is it polexit or plexit or pexit? They probably will get kicked out if they don't leave. I mean, they're putting the screws to them because they're not going along with a cop thing and like...I don't have the clip but according to Amy, COP 25 was a disaster! Oh really? Yeah well because nobody could agree on anything it was just like there's all these- Because they're divvying up money that we don't have because we are not giving it to him United States That seems to me is an issue It boils down to that So there is

David Starkey Analysis and First Past the Post

Professor David Starkey analyzes Boris Johnson's election victory as a win for democracy and patriotism. He explains the significance of the "First Past the Post" electoral system in the UK, which prevents the proliferation of minor parties and ensures clear mandates.

david starkey· boris johnson· first past the post· proportional representation· referendum

2:37:15 I was listening to one of the talk shows and there's this guy who is a kind of pop, he's a professor and he's a pop sociologist. He's like always a commentator on various British networks his name is David Starkey And it does a little bit of analysis but I don't have the second half for some reason but I do have the first half uh... and this is about Boris and there's a tidbit in here that I wasn't aware of You said it's called about Boris? It is called Boris David Starkey Analysis 1. I got it! Does Boris' election win last week represent a people's revolt against the establishment? I think it does, I think it represents it in so many ways. First of all this is a vindication for the good sense of democracy

2:38:05 the notion that there is a wisdom in crowds. I had, you don't normally hear about the wisdom of crowds in the Garrick Club but I was having lunch there yesterday and I met the former Bishop of London and we know each other quite reasonably well and I said amazing isn't it? A victory for democracy he said yes and a victory for patriotism And I think that's what it really was and this raises a whole series of questions Why did it happen? What paved the way to it?" And I think we've now got to start re-judging referenda. The necessary background for this were the popular verdicts, that the winning of two referenda... We'd forgotten about the first one It was the one that said we were not going to replace the first past the post system by some kind a proportional representation Now THAT'S the fundamental step

2:39:01 because proportional representation leads to multiple parties, leads to the fact that you have no clear verdicts in general elections and instead you have squalid dealing in the longer smoke-filled rooms after the election what happens over almost all continental Europe. So first popular vote and then the second popular vote is of course the Brexit referendum there was then the pullback the disaster of the 2017 election because of Theresa May, a complete unsuitability as a leader. I mean that contrast between her and Boris it's so you sort of set up a little textbook exercise you know somebody basically doesn't like people who

2:39:47 doesn't like meeting people, who isn't confident in defending an argument. Who goes all sorts of defensive and cross as opposed to somebody who actually likes people at least I know no one knows anything about Boris he's very good at pretending to like people He appears which is all that matters So what this brought to mind by the way there is a second part where he talks about United States and how this really is gonna be the same thing going on here. And I do have an ISO of part of the second part, I wanna play that. And that is, let's see where it's called on here? Populist world? Yeah populist world. It's a populist world! He says this is a populist world we're living in and this is part of this populism but the thing that came up that I was unaware of was first past the post

2:40:43 And I was unfamiliar with this first referendum because i'm not living over there. But I'm going to read from First Past the Post is the way that they do the elections. This is why you don't have too many parties in the UK, You have these major parties and all the other ones like The Brexit Party and the UKIP and all the rest They never get anywhere And they don't get any people because They don't qualify under the majoritarianism of First Past the Post Which is the way it works in England So you don't end up with a thousand parties Like you're doing France and Germany Because they just can't get anywhere. I'm going to read this from The Economist, in Britain's electoral system seats won at a general election are not shared out between the parties proportionally nationwide that's what the referendum was trying to do because they were trying to Europeanize the great UK

2:41:34 Instead of each one of the 650 constituencies, each one is self-contained. Meaning any vote not used to win a seat is in effect wasted." In 2010, over 900,000 people voted for the populist UK Independent Party at the general election. They needn't have bothered! The UK didn't win a single seat in the House of Commons. The Liberal Democrats – the best-known loser from this majoritarian system joined the Conservatives in coalition government after the 2010 elections

2:42:10 But over 5.5 million of his 6.8 million votes made no contribution to its 57 seats under a proportional system, it's votes would have translated to 150 seats at the 2015 election. The Scottish National Party became the first minor party to win in number of seats in Westminster that outweighed share of the popular vote So this was something that we never even discussed, which is that the first referendum was about changing the whole voting's parliamentary voting system in the UK. Yeah, we completely missed that

2:42:49 And it was rejected, so it was rejected so nobody paid much attention to it. You ended up with the second referendum which is the Brexit vote got voted in and I think a large part of people thought that it wasn't going to get voted because of the first referendum that got voted out And so now you have this situation in England where they're gonna actually do this. We, well... It's eerily quiet there we must laugh we'll see how far Boris really wants to push it I just thought that was interesting and this guy goes on to emphasize this populist thing that is going on he points it out all over the world

CHAPTER 47 / 60 Discussion

Wisdom of Crowds and Silicon Valley Political Shift

The hosts discuss the book "The Wisdom of Crowds" by James Surowiecki and its former popularity in Silicon Valley. They observe a major shift in tech culture from the libertarian "Atlas Shrugged" era of the early 2000s to the current pro-border, pro-globalist Democratic alignment.

james surowiecki· silicon valley· atlas shrugged· libertarian· globalism

2:43:27 And, you know it's being rejected by the globalists because globalists are not populists. Now they don't like the idea because who needs the hoi polloi? telling people what to do and that brought up another point he made which is the wisdom of crowds, he says. The wisdom of crowds this is funny to me because... This isn't an established theory? Is it not the wisdom of crowds? This is a Silicon Valley thing! Oh God! The book came out years ago called Wisdom of Crowds. Who wrote that?! One of the Silicon Valley hacks, one of our local boys I think. I know who wrote it but i can't think if was offhand. They write a lot these books and so this came out and this was talking about networking and how the world's gonna change because of the internet and you got social networks... James Surowiecki?

2:44:19 Maybe, I don't know him then. I was wrong but the wisdom of crowds was this basis of a lot of the thinking around here that slowly devolved into globalist thinking and it wasn't enough crowds The whole idea which is very popular few years back was shoved to the curb because the wisdom of crowds is Trump Listen to this This is from the Amazon review page August 16 2005 In this fascinating book, New Yorker business columnist... I don't know that's not really a Silicon Valley guy but James Sirwicki. Okay, I was wrong about who wrote it but it was super popular in Silicon Valley. Oh! I remember, I remember Explorers of Deceptive... In fact this came out

2:45:04 I think we were raising money at the time and i'm sure that one of the Kleiner Perkins guys was talking about or handing them out James Rookie explores a deceptively simple idea large groups of people are smarter than an elite few no matter how brilliant better at solving problems Fostering innovation coming to wise decisions even predicting the future with boundless erudition and in delightfully clear prose, Sphero Wiki ranges across fields as diverse as popular culture to show how this simple idea offers important lessons for how we live our lives select our leaders run our companies and think about... Our world. Huh! We should read that one again

2:45:52 I believe we should because it has a lot to do with what's going on. By the way, the little aside you made there where one of the guys, Kleiner was handing these books out. There is very popular habit that you run into in the Bay Area in general but just in the tech circles were these and I knew two guys who would do this they find a book that they read and they liked and they would buy a box of them Keep the box of books in their trunk and if you ran into him in some situations, hey come on I give you the boy. Give you a book Yes And you know which one? The one that pops to mind...the monk and the book. Yeah this was who was the guy at Kleiner Perkins who came from Tevo and he Was kind of like they're entrepreneur-in-residence even though he was with it, you know failed Oh man what was that guy's name

2:46:48 I can't think of the Tevo guys. I know some of the investors, but... Kleiner Perkins' Tevo guy. Anyway keep going and i'll find it. Bing it! Well they anyway so the idea was that you'd get a box these books and you do the author affair because you bought a box of books right? And then you would hand them out to everybody that thought might read the book. Yeah. And if you recall There was quite a period around 2000, I'm gonna say... 8-7 to 9 when Silicon Valley guys were handing out copies of Atlas Shrugged.

2:47:27 It was big. Atlas Shrugged was a very popular book amongst certain group of people in Silicon Valley, it's true. Tim Draper? Wasn't Tim Draper handing them out? I don't know what Tim Draper was handing out but we wouldn't surprise me the point is that for some reason and i don't even know when this happened because they kind of caught me off guard and I should have figured this out and still haven't to switch from these libertarian, it was always very like Republican style Libertarians which was most of the Silicon Valley folks if not just straight up Republicans switched to Democrat globalists. Just almost like a- Overnight! On a dime! I don't know when this what the dime was but all of a sudden everybody in the valley is

PG&E Microgrids and Greta Thunberg Hulu Documentary

Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) is moving toward microgrid implementation to mitigate power shutoffs. Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg is the subject of a new Hulu documentary, leading the hosts to question the "spontaneous" nature of her rise to international prominence.

pg&e· microgrids· greta thunberg· hulu· deutsche bahn

2:48:15 Hillary supporting Democrat, hoping for no borders. Yeah it's quite a stretch from the Atlas Shrugged days over to open borders! Well while we're on these types of topics...a little Green New Deal news first of all Pacific Gas and Electric is now all in On microgrids, as predicted they're looking to set up 20 micro grids. They're taking bidders already see we missed it I knew it! I knew would be a great way to make money exit strategy and already were too late Pacific Gas & Electric said that micro grids are expected to keep power flowing to thousands if not tens of thousands of customers per substation during a power shutoff

2:49:14 The utility hopes to cut the number of customers that lose power by nearly one-third. Microgrids, baby! That's where it's all at. Greta... Now apparently we made some mistake or you made a mistake to be quite fair about it German Rail has been scolded for their tweet To Greta saying hey, you know you had a first class ticket being scolded for apparently Releasing her personal information that they had of course in their database, so it's a violation of the wrong oh No no you didn't really do anything wrong but you said that Greta got in trouble for

2:50:02 because the German, she was sitting on the floor with the luggage and she tweeted oh the trains are overcrowded I have to sit here next to the luggage. Then German rail Deutsche Bahn said hey Greta thank you for traveling it would have been nice if you'd acknowledged how well and competently our team treated you in your first class seat And they were excoriated for violating the general data protection rules, of course because you know they knew that she had a first-class seat because it's in her database. They use that publicly is a violation to one of those trains that she was traveling on was taken out of service and she did for a little bit have to actually ride or she didn't have to but it made sense It was overcrowded so she rode next to the luggage

2:50:50 So the bottom line, Greta still rules. German rail? Assholes! In fact here's the headline Deutsche Bahn in trouble with Berlin authorities after exposing Greta Thunberg but here is the news this spontaneous climate protester Greta Thunberg very spontaneous actions that she has undertaken for several years with with her climate strike, her Friday strikes will now be the subject of a documentary. Apparently someone followed her from the beginning of her journey by coincidence and Hulu is the team behind it following Greta Thunberg from her early school strike in Stockholm all the way to the parliaments and massive international protests she's been involved in

2:51:54 I mean that's fantastic. How good are you if just of all the people, you think, You know what? I think she may be something we'll just have a camera rolling on her just in case isn't that amazing That is disgusting She is a beautiful icon. It's abusive what they're doing to her, but this was totally abusive luckily well You know she's kind of autistic so maybe she won't it won't affect her negatively Yeah This is a scam this is a setup. This is not an old scam the whole thing was a scam and why does anyone? Worship me get the altar of a kid

Speed Listening Consequences and Mental Incubation

A producer's note explores the psychological effects of "speed listening" to podcasts at 2x speed. The discussion suggests that over-saturation of information inhibits the brain's ability to transition into "incubation and illumination" phases, potentially retarding the ability to learn.

speed listening· ben shapiro· jordan peterson· mental incubation· intermittent fasting

2:52:34 Yeah, talk about ideology. I mean this idolatry is ridiculous This is one of the seven the twelve commandment ten commandments there used to be 1210 Commandments It's like a violation excuse me did you say they used to be Twelve Commandments? Just said that as a joke. I'm thinking at the movie There should have been 12 commandments we can come over two more thou shalt donate I got a lot of feedback, and I think we both actually were on some of them about millennials being slackified in the workplace. Yes my millennial list is going on. I've got people writing me at johnatdvorak.org about characteristics of millennials and i'm putting together a list of the various characteristics like

2:53:21 And some are arguable. I think, for example, bone broth comes to mind. Yeah we did that one already. Well bone broth comes to mind... craft beer oh yeah Dr. Bronner Castile soap? But i'm talking about behavior these are just a list of stuffs. Yes stuffs and behaviors or behaviors are on here dropping teas I got that on here as a behavior okay um I would add to that speed listening Yeah, good one. And we got actually a note from producer Roman and he said when you first condemned listening to the show at faster than 1x I was amused at your indignation of this in part because i listened to Ben Shapiro at 2x speed Oh my god! And only have to slow down and replay when he's making intricate and complex philosophical assertions

2:54:20 The same, by the way with Candidavian Peterson. And he goes on to say in the book The Mission of the Men and Me by Pete Blaber it's described by an army psychologist that the brain goes through three phases saturation incubation and illumination when learning something new so I'm now beginning to wonder our producer Roman says If always listening to something and listening at greater than one time speed puts the mind in an unnaturally extended phase of saturation, and actually inhibits the transition to incubation and illumination thereby retarding our overall ability to learn.

2:55:02 Wow, that's an interesting idea. He says my observations are only my own but I can't help but think that speed listening brings consequences like lack of patience when people speak slowly or normally, or take their time getting to the point. As an antidote I've started doing intermittent fasting of the audio variety intentionally not listen to something while commuting or doing chores at first i felt like i was going to scream but once i calm down it can actually engage in the passive thinking essential to mental incubation that is pretty deep and i think we might have a couple other people out there who know more about it

CHAPTER 50 / 60 Discussion

Slackification of the Workforce and Work-Life Balance

The hosts critique the "Slackification" of the modern workplace, arguing that notification-based systems like Slack destroy work-life balance for millennials. They compare the constant connectivity to the "Crackberry" era and praise veterans who refuse to answer non-emergency work texts after hours.

slack· work-life balance· millennials· notifications· crackberry

2:55:47 But for sure, I have observed people getting irritated. It's taking you too long to get to your point. What do you want? I mean...I even do that sometimes with you but I've seen this and witnessed this and if you oversaturate you may not be able to learn anything! You're just cramming shit in it like a hot dog eating contest Perfect analogy and proper use of the word analogy. Dynamite word! Then on the slackification stuff, a lot of agreement people thought they were reminding us but I think we kind of made it clear that there is an social networking element to receiving notifications on your phone

2:56:40 And Slack is a notification-based system, and it's not like email where you can just leave it there. Let it brew for a little bit in its own sauce No In fact I think with slack you can even see if everybody's read the message or if you've read the message specifically If it's not surfaced publicly, I'm sure it's you know if you create the room You may have that capability But it is keeping the millennial workforce at a very unhealthy work-life balance. Lots of people agree with that. Many... Well, I talked to JC and you were right his company uses it he uses and he's a manager And so I brought all this up. What's the report? You're full of crap as kind of the report He says I'm full of crap! I think so. He didn't say it outright but I'm embellishing well he says it's the only way damnit

2:57:37 You okay? My little scarlet device fell on the floor. Still working, don't touch it! He says it's the only way if you're going to set up shop and do a lot of letting people work at home is the only system that works he also said... And he says it works well although he gets pinged a lot he thinks it's not necessarily a great system, there is nothing like it. So there's no substitute you can't just swap it out and I talked about the add-ons that you were moaning about which I was in agreement with about the stars and this stupid crap He says never heard of that plug-in? There are tens of thousands of plugins for this thing Sure there are And you can customize it anyway you want You've never heard of that one

2:58:33 So he wasn't as negative. But also, you know that he's a manager so he's clearly not your run-of-the-mill millennial manager He's grown up in a different household maybe he understands little bit better what work life balance is but this in general this came through as a major complaint Truly the nature of it being text message like oriented, the communication really only in text. People doing reviews you know yes there's 10 thousand different that's one beautiful things about Slack is you can put in any plugins another one that is very big is GIFs

2:59:15 So you can it ties into Jiffy or whatever else so people just have entire channels full of gifs, you know complaining about their day But also a lot of it is the millennial mindset and I thought the note from John Horner Kilo golf 5 Zulu Foxtrot alpha that was a good one. It may be a good way to go for people You can use this. Adam, it's not just Slack though it's eerily similar to a social network and see how it sucks in millennial engagement outside of business hours but the ubiquitous connectedness of modern society I make it a point to leave my work laptop at work when I leave for the day and do not respond to work related text messages when I'm not at work

2:59:57 This garners some cross looks from my co-workers and supervisor, and some vague mutterings about not being ready for an operations management position with that attitude. See this is the problem you run into! But I reply to this as follows... Dude, I spent 24 hours a day 7 days a week on duty for a year when i was deployed and lives were on the line Ain't no lives on the line here Which I think, if you're a veteran is a great way to go. Like you know it's really not as important as you think it is. I've witnessed important. Well this is the reason that I used to condemn people who were just bozos

3:00:41 in the pre-BlackBerry era and then the BlackBerry, which we called Crackberry if you recall. Yes the crack barrier and then the smartphone which is or SERP the Crackberry and before that there was the pager And my thing and I say it to people with a smart phone say why are you picking up all these messages? You're not a surgeon on call My you want call and you have to rush to the hospital. What is it that you're doing? That is so important Well, it's a sickness and he continues my supervisor will also stop speaking mid-sentence To reply to a text message And he's on the boomer Gen X cusp this problem again The OTG lifestyle calls for a phone that is just stupid and does nothing really well

CHAPTER 51 / 60 Discussion

Educator Feedback on Technology Curriculum

A K-8 technology educator provides feedback on the show's critique of modern schooling. The teacher outlines a curriculum focused on password creation, phishing recognition, and ethical issues surrounding surveillance devices like Ring and Fitbit.

technology education· password security· phishing· ring· automate the boring stuff

3:01:36 Well, as you know I'm an OTG kind of guy. Yeah, I know what you are and there was a disappointing note that I got from producer Jacob Adam I was a $5 month donor but have chosen to suspend my donation to the show for a few months I want to let you know why so you could at least get input feedback constructive criticism on why this donation albeit small has been suspended now I take note of people who do this who will not just say I have an issue, I want to address but i'm not donating. And I don't understand why people do that but okay

3:02:17 And here was the egregious reason that the donation has stopped from this producer. Your recent comments on The Sunday Show towards the end about the Ring spy device was agreeable until you blasted educators who should be teaching password security and other important technology issues so they can be responsible digital citizens! I've found this pattern of being critical of education worrisome because you and especially John, note you didn't copy John. Paint a very broad brush when it comes to educators and what they are teaching kids full disclosure Of course i'm an educator technology grades k-8 And despite what you would have your listeners and producers believe? I do more things than gender studies

3:03:09 Well, that was aimed at me. That one! Yeah but apparently I think we even said there should be a technology class Tech 101 and apparently this educator has a technology class and we were not bitching about technology classes but okay Here's what our technology class focuses on a variety of topics you may find interesting such as password creation ways that can be memorable for the user but not easily guessed. Very good! Phishing emails, how to recognize them what to do when you receive them? How to detect bias in electronic resources? ethical issues as they relate to computers and networks. I'm looking at you, RingNestFitBit et al., and we've worked through the first few chapters of Automate The Boring Stuff after i heard you recommend it and enjoyed it! You're welcome. I'm certainly no coder but the principles that teaches early on are certainly fundamental in understanding computer science just some honest feedback from a producer that provides a little bit of financial support

3:04:09 I mean, I love everything about this note Jacob except that you said i'm not going to donate because you were insulted by something I said which we actually agree with what you're doing. So...I'll just leave that outside of it Weird! Weird! So what he's saying then is that nobody teaches gender studies? I think this class, technology class. I have never heard of it is the first time we're hearing out. I'd like to know how many schools have technology class? I'd like to know the curriculum and you're welcome Jacob! I'm happy that my book recommendation could help you in the class. Yeah just make up do you now he should be coming in as an associate executive producer for that book alone

Facebook Offline Purchase Tracking and Targeted Ads

Reports indicate that Facebook is collaborating with retail partners like Macy's to track offline, in-store purchases. By linking personal information like phone numbers and emails to transaction data, Facebook allows businesses to target users with ads based on their real-world shopping habits.

facebook· macy's· data tracking· targeted ads· privacy settings

3:22:24 Well, and thank you for putting up with me. Yeah! You should say that a little...with more conviction because seriously I mean you really need to thank me. Alright let's uh-I do have a couple things i want to make sure I play before we leave And the first one is from the OTG category. No surprise, but just want you slaves to be aware that Facebag is tracking you all the way to the store and back." If you're hitting them all this weekend to Holiday Shoppe Facebook may be tracking your purchases Reports that the social media platform with help from retail partners Is monitoring what users are buying not just online but in brick-and-mortar stores too

3:23:14 It lets businesses send it information about what you purchased. According to Business Insider, retailers are teaming up with the social media giant offering Facebook personal information in order to create targeted ads retail companies sending names phone numbers email addresses and more along with what products people purchase Facebook then using this information to identify the user in its database to target them with that business's ads. The main way that Facebook makes money is by selling ads and the reason it is able to really dominate the online ad industry because it controls so much personal information and data about its users. Facebook confirming the practice saying retailers are able to reach their customers with ads on Facebook

3:23:57 by sharing offline events like an in-store purchase, saying this is standard for the industry. When asked stores like Macy's praised the collaboration as a way to fuel our growth but Facebook says you can limit how much of your information is shared with them go to privacy settings from there you can customize what kind of ads are shown and how your spending it. Okay okay we don't need that people know how to do that but finally people are catching on I love the little reports With all the special cyber effects it makes it so more believable. Yeah, don't you think? It's like sounds official. But you threw that in! Well no they do their own this is mine but they just do that gratuitously You know whenever. Yeah brother

HPV Vaccine School Requirements and Marketing Critique

New legislation in New York and other regions will require students to receive the HPV vaccine for school attendance. The hosts question the marketing claims that 80% of the population will contract the virus and express concern over government-mandated injections for a non-airborne disease.

hpv vaccine· gardasil· school requirements· cancer· marketing

3:24:44 I have one last clip by the way before you... Well is it an upbeat clip? Because i got a dreary one. Yes, it's an upbeat clip. Then let me do my last dreary one. I've been trying to play this for two weeks because it is important that people realize the laws are changing when it comes to schools and kids and vaccines. Students born on or after January 1st, 2009 will be required to get vaccinated against human papillomavirus when going into 7th grade in the bills sponsored by Senate Brad Hoylman The bills highlight American Cancer Society stats suggesting that 4 out of every 5 people will get HPV in their lifetime

3:25:22 and that the SGI contributes to tens of thousands of cancer diagnoses every year. Parents on social media and a state legislature website are strongly opposed to the bills, saying that the vaccine was harmful for their children The law would require students to get vaccinated by September 2021 And this is not stopping at school hospitals are now today already requiring people even if you're in administrative job They require, some hospitals are now requiring anybody who works in the hospital to get the HPV vaccine. Which I find a fascinating thought! There's some great marketing going on with this stuff... You don't get it from the air you have its sexually transmitted disease

3:26:12 And so they expect you to be horsing around on the job at the hospital. I don't know exactly what the deal is, but having any government official forcing you to inject you or your children with anything warrants a little bit of thought and we'll leave it as that. Well this is your beat? Yeah well I keep my eye on it but I find it incredibly disturbing. Forcing kids... I mean measles okay I can see where But HPV? Well there's ways around the flu shot. You can get if you follow the Tamiflu it is a very good remedy. Yeah but they're requiring, they're requiring the shot and requiring proof that you got it from an approved administrator so it's going to be a problem this there are a lot of people who I mean again

3:27:05 For measles, okay I can see where you're coming from. I don't think it's necessary but that's up to you if your school wants do that flu shot similar i have not seen the benefit but HPV? You're going to require this at the school?! You can get HPV from just being around kids Well, the claim... this is the thing that gets me about that report. The claim I would like to see this documented That four out of five people will all get HPV Yeah, i'd like to see that too

3:27:40 I would like to see some documentation and I'd like to see some proof. I don't believe that number, I think that's a lie! And if anything we've seen a lot of stories certainly when Gardasil was in their marketing heyday when they were hanging promotional items on every college door...every college room door handle in schools You know, I lost my train of thought. I'm sorry. My brain is flat. You were just going to say that there's lots of proof that it was a very damaging vaccine? Yes! Damaging for young women absolutely but okay...I just find the requirement for school out-of-order That is your right. It's marketing. There's nothing else. There's no need for that

Global Measles Surge and Anti-Vaccination Arrests

3:28:26 Good marketing. You gotta applaud the marketing, yes! There you are! They're spiking the ball We love our marketers Alright Now Here we go My last clip I have... Let's see if there is anything funny Well actually before I play my last clip let me play my odd measles story since it kind of hooks in with what you just played Okay well would like an odd measles story? Let's see what it is More than 140 thousand people around the world died from measles last year amidst a surge in the number of cases of the preventable disease partially caused by misinformation about vaccines. The vast majority of the victims were children under the age of five, the new figures come as the Pacific Island nation of Samoa has arrested an anti-vaccination campaigner amidst a massive outbreak of measles that's already killed over 60 people mostly young children

3:29:18 Hmm. 140,000 dead from measles last year? I would like to see that documented! I always find it interesting that it's the same people who say we have to have all these vaccines to save people... The same people are saying that our population is out of control. Make up your mind! Well yeah well there's an irony in this. Make up your mind please! Nature has taken care of business but oh no Well, you might as well make some money in the process.

Steve, I think that the future leaders could do a little bit more. But however, I feel like we as individuals ourselves can also play a part in making the climate the way it should be in the future. We have children protesting for climate and I feel like us adults should join as well. We should have corporations join as well and the government to take it seriously. From sixth grade up learning that the climate is deteriorating and the planet is dying and it's up to us

3:30:58 The planet's dying! Thank you. Cranky. The planet is dying Yes it is, and everyone goes whoa excellent well done Are we going out of orbit? What's the deal? He's going out of orbit Well...
