About this episode

Bill and Melinda Gates face intense scrutiny as reports from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times link their divorce to Bill Gates' prior relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The fallout extends to Silicon Valley and MIT, where tech reporter Jeni Neutron alleges widespread money laundering and influence-peddling involving literary agent John Brockman and the late financier. This collapse of elite reputations coincides with a broader media pivot as mainstream outlets finally acknowledge gain-of-function research and aerosol transmission theories previously dismissed as fringe.

Dr. Peter McCullough warns of a global medical groupthink that has suppressed early COVID-19 treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to protect pharmaceutical vaccine interests. The Trusted News Initiative and the VAERS database become focal points as thousands of post-vaccination deaths are reported, while former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb advocates for a transition to mRNA technology for seasonal flu shots. Meanwhile, the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack by the DarkSide group triggers fuel hoarding across the Southeast, providing a convenient pretext for Secretary Pete Buttigieg to push President Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan.

Comedian Tyler Fisher delivers a sharp parody of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s shifting mask mandates, while Van Morrison faces accusations of anti-Semitism from the Jerusalem Post over his new lockdown-critical album. In a bizarre turn, a teacher at Columbia Secondary School faces investigation after an inappropriate Zoom class incident involving a shirtless man. The episode concludes with a knighting ceremony for Dame Jody of the Ten Key and Sir Curity, Knight of the Cybers, as the Value for Value model continues to sustain the broadcast.

Network Morning Show Reviews, Sesame Street Anniversary

A review of morning television coverage highlights a CBS special about a high school imposter and an NBC segment promoting a documentary on the history of Sesame Street. The hosts question the timing of the Sesame Street celebration, debating whether the program is marking 50 or 100 years since its inception.

cbs· nbc· sesame street· documentary· abc· entertainment news

01:38 Okay, so we I first I started off as all commercials and so I What what this commercials? Yeah too many. So let's start with CBS Oh big special on some woman that was arrested for being a high school phony She was an old woman that was pretending to be high school student And so they turned it into a retrospective of every movie ever made This is, by the way CBS is turning more into what ABC used to be. Yeah where they were promoting other entertainment products And so they had every movie of everybody and actually this segment of different clips they took from the movies

02:26 were pretty funny, I have to say. Whoever put this bit together had a sense of humor it was worth watching then you had NBC and all they had was kind of a promotion for this movie D equals documentary the history of Sesame Street show and they had some bunching interviews with different people who worked from Sesame Street boring boring! Who cares? Then good morning America. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. There was something up... I saw something cross my path this morning about is there some celebration? Some 100 years of Sesame Street? There's a reason for that. Well, I don't see it. It says Sesame Street began in my lifetime and i'm not 100 yet! Hmm okay all right. I think maybe 50 maybe 50. I just saw there was some story about it could be 50 but they had no sense to promote this document or okay gotcha

CHAPTER 03 / 71 Discussion

Glennon Doyle Profile, Good Morning America Segment

Good Morning America featured a lengthy segment on podcaster and author Glennon Doyle, which the hosts critique for its production style and content. The discussion covers Doyle's transition from blogger to top-tier podcaster, her coining of terms like "brutiful" and "pod squads," and her expressed anxiety regarding COVID-19.

glennon doyle· michael strahan· good morning america· pod squad· brutiful· covid-19

03:25 So, good morning America. Uh-oh I'm watching the new hot...the new hot podcaster she's everything she's everywhere She is the most important person in the world Wait a minute! Who is the hot new podcaster and why have not blessed this? Glennon Doyle Glennon Doyle Let me try, hold on. Exactly the reaction I'd expect. Hold on let me try. Good morning everybody Glennon Doyle with you! No...I don't know it's not a great podcast name but okay Glennon Doyle is this a what is Glennon? Now I don't want to say that she's possibly a spook uh-huh but they gave her like 15 minutes and she's like in one box everybody then at one box on one side of four boxes on the other half the screen and they have

04:13 Michael Strahan forced to discuss, I think you know ask her questions about her wife? And Michael Strahan is the big football player, so let's humiliate him and have him talk about lesbianism. That was good! Oh okay I got you... In the four box, and i'm not saying that lesbianism has anything to do with the CIA, and then in the four box really? Really?! I've been looking at that... You see Stepanopoulos looking off camera for just a split second with the like looking over to the right, to the side as if why are we doing this? So Glennon Doyle podcaster was a famous blogger. She was married and then she ran out with some woman

05:03 and she was a blogger, and she started a podcast which is now number one as the best. Of course! She was the number one New York Times Bestseller Yeah yes couple of books I see it here in the wikis Those book show up And the book... The number 1 Times Best Seller was Blog Posts It's about our blog posts So that's always a winner Now, she has done few things She's coined, well she coins words. She does, she got that part of the podcast. Oh! Shes a word coiner? And she does pod squads Pod squad?! Oh my goodness I was right that one down what what is it pod squad? I don't know its a meetup

05:46 Oh, well why don't you just say meet up pod squad? Well it's different than a meet-up because it's like a book club. So you have topics to discuss. Wow is that another exit strategy for us pod squads I don't think so...well yeah we get the right help from certain government agencies. Except we do pot squats which is completely different Podsquats. She also coined the word brutiful Wow, she is a wordsmith huh? Oh she's killing it! Oh wow okay and was there anything that came out of this 15 minute segment Well it may have been longer than 15 minutes I had to turn it off to get to the other two networks because this was going on forever

06:33 And no, I mean yeah. She's anxious she scared because of COVID and there was a lot of discussion about her being frightened all the time because of COVID and luckily she has someone to hug it was just horrible segment I find it to be insulting for the audience personally. Well I'm glad that everyone... It wasn't insulting to me anyway. I'm glad everyone tuned in this morning so you can witness some true entertainment Because we got it lined up for you, baby. And um... It's lined up? Well before we start I would like to play a clip! Oh okay. Before we- I have a Fauci Clip. Before we start we'll start with the clip.

Should be something that says Fauci in there No no no I was just looking for There is it. There's your bin Okay I'm sorry Straight into it

CHAPTER 04 / 71 Discussion

Tyler Fisher Fauci Parody, Masking Satire

A clip features comedian Tyler Fisher performing an impression of Dr. Anthony Fauci, satirizing extreme masking protocols and pessimistic reopening timelines. The hosts compare Fisher's comedic style to Bill Burr and discuss the accuracy of his vocal characterization.

tyler fisher· anthony fauci· parody· comedy· bill burr· masks

07:28 Yeah, I'd say even if you live alone. We have a mask in the house especially in the shower because frankly droplets can make their way through the drain and come up through somebody else's toilet infecting them with COVID through the anus ballpark into five to 20 years we can start thinking about considering the idea of pondering, the thought of conceptualizing possibility of maybe perhaps reopening but probably not. I would avoid having any fun whatsoever in the near to far future

08:17 That guy's pretty good. He's very close, very close. Has a... Well okay then I'll take it. By the way for anyone out there you should look him up he is a comic, comics comic only comics seem to know much about him but his name is Tyler Fisher and that's F-I-S-C-H and he also does a.. I would say as close to anyone doing a Bill Burr Oh okay yeah I can see how we will be able to do that cool Well let's just stick with the mask then since you brought it in. Now we know that the CDC came out with a kind of silent guidance, said yeah you know that thing outdoors was getting infections? Yeah not really a thing which we knew about a year ago when we talked to Maurice the dog we knew that it was aerosols

CHAPTER 05 / 71 Discussion

Sanjay Gupta and Susan Collins, CDC Outdoor Masking Guidance

CNN's Sanjay Gupta responds to Senator Susan Collins' criticism of the CDC, agreeing that the agency has been slow to follow science regarding outdoor transmission. The segment highlights the lack of evidence for outdoor COVID-19 spread and the role of UV light in neutralizing the virus.

sanjay gupta· susan collins· cdc· cnn· uv light· aerosols

09:05 And as it turns out, almost no one got infected outside. But still in Austin they're happy to wear masks outside and you just heard Fauci but this has become a bit of a problem and Jose Gupta our man on the scene over there at CNN He's taking the CDC to task and I have to say chapeau bas to Jose. Sanjay, it is so important that we have faith in our public health institutions and that brings us to a moment that we saw yesterday at a Senate committee hearing where Senator Susan Collins of Maine said this about the CDC I used to have the utmost respect for the guidance from the CDC. I always considered the CDC to be the gold standard, i don't anymore. I mean Sanjay there are many people who agree with her what do you think?

09:58 Yeah, it pains me to say this but I see where she's coming from Senator Collins on this. We didn't do things that we should have done in this country that could have greatly mitigated what has happened here. And now I think it's almost a little bit of the reverse problem, uh... The science is not necessarily being followed to the same extent and as a result we're probably doing things that we don't need to be doing So, in the end the CDC needs to be a science-based organization. What does the science say? You don't need to wear a mask outside! It's just one of these things that you know again we've known this for some time We didn't know in the beginning...we've all learned a lot over the past year but now we know it's not clear that there has really been any cases of outdoor transmission maybe a couple of cases

10:52 throughout the last year in the entire world that have really been documented. So it just doesn't happen very commonly that this virus spreads outside, it doesn't like to be outside, it doesn't like UV light... What? There's all these different things but again now we know that. What?! Tell me he doesn't like bleach either! Kill me now please Sanjay! Science everybody science! He doesn't like UV light! Whaaat? So what we've been dealing with is bull crap. But here's what so fascinating KVUE, K-VU here in Austin Texas based upon the CDC guidance which came out in March they have changed the rules for schools kids believe it or not in Austin will be allowed to play outside without a mask on this is so fantastic but... What?

CHAPTER 06 / 71 Discussion

Austin ISD Mask Policy, Parental Reactions

Austin Independent School District updated its policy to allow students to participate in outdoor activities without masks, provided they maintain social distance. Local news coverage features a parent, Erin Lago, expressing unease over the sudden change in safety protocols with only three weeks remaining in the school year.

austin isd· erin lago· kvue· school masks· social distancing· texas

11:42 This feels a little bit like the rug was pulled out unnecessarily. The changes were too quick, that's how Austin ISD parent Erin Lago feels. There are only three weeks left in the school year Wednesday morning Lago woke up to this email from AISD it says masks won't be required for outdoor activities when kids can social distance end of the year activities can now be held outdoors quarantine time is cut to 10 days down from 14 and visitors are allowed on campuses as long as they're screened for COVID-19. The relaxed masking rule is what caught Lego's eye because she says it makes her feel uneasy. I really like to understand how that decision was made and why, whether or not there is any room to consider

12:27 possible adjustment of that policy. Austin ISD says the decision was made Tuesday and they let families know immediately officials say parents have to sign off on their kids not wearing masks outdoors we've put in those safeguards in place so that parents have time to process and make the best decisions for their students cases are low within Austin Travis County but also within Austin ISD um so as we have reviews the data and also the re have come down. We have d changes." Leggo says she r her 14 year old to get th looking forward to that, b decide if she'll keep he next three weeks like to

13:11 Austin ISD is really trying to do what's right for all of the kids. They're so butthurt that they weren't consulted and told weeks ahead of time, instead of being happy... The rug was pulled out from under us! We weren't expecting this! Goodness people get a grip and despite all of this, despite the... You know this is much funnier than the Fonny Fauci Well, let's go back to Fauci because despite all of this evidence... No no no. So what is this? Okay let's get the mask wearing because this is where you know at what point can we stop wearing masks outside? At one point if vaccinated people get together do you take the mask off and are we gonna but as the mass going to be something we have with us in a seasonal aspect

CHAPTER 07 / 71 Discussion

Anthony Fauci on Seasonal Masking, Flu Disappearance

Dr. Anthony Fauci suggests that seasonal mask-wearing could become a permanent fixture to mitigate respiratory diseases like the flu. The hosts analyze data from Australia and the U.S. showing a near-total disappearance of the flu season, questioning the statistical conflation of influenza and COVID-19 cases.

anthony fauci· influenza· covid-19· australia· public health· respiratory disease

14:04 You know, that's quite possible. I think people have gotten used to the fact that wearing masks clearly if you look at the data diminishes respiratory diseases we've had practically a non-existent flu season this year merely because people were doing the kinds of public health things that were directed predominantly against COVID-19. The Australians during their winter, same thing they had almost no flu largely due to the kinds of things including mask wearing so it is conceivable that as we go on a year or two or more from now and during certain seasonal periods...

14:44 So it's, I guess looking at the data it's a hundred percent effective against the flu. No that's some of the mitigation that we did John. No no I'm just saying... Mitigation like lockdown and masks The way he is putting it because somebody has to explain this flu phenomenon so if the flu drops to nearly zero with whatever were doing how come COVID hasn't dropped to zero? Does COVID have a different kind of, it's different? It's some sort of magical alien beast. Yes! It comes out at night it's nocturnal Well it does come out at night that's different than the flu thats true so you have to have these curfews So maybe thats what is But it seems to me if one goes down they should both go down whatever near zero

15:36 Is it possible of course what we would think, I think you would agree that they're being conflated. Somebody's got the flu they get really sick because people get sick and die from the flu constantly not COVID Wow! I mean its not as if we didn't see numbers being reported as flu-like influenza or influenza like symptoms and that was conflated with the COVID numbers. Yeah, I think you know what bothers me? And it's a problem that you and I have with this particular show A year ago, we pretty much had already figured most of these things out. We figured out the droplets, we had the numbers, we saw the flu cases were gone long before that was recognized. The true data... We saw the bait and switch charts and graphs they kept pulling up I think Osterholm still thinks we're gonna die next week. And you know the gain-of-function research

CHAPTER 08 / 71 Discussion

Media Rehash of Early Pandemic Claims, Libel Discussion

The hosts express frustration that mainstream media is only now reporting on topics they discussed a year ago, such as gain-of-function research and aerosol transmission. A brief tangent involves a joke about suing for libel after being labeled "nut jobs" by critics.

conspiracy theory· thomas j. henry· gain-of-function· covid deniers· libel

16:37 All of this stuff, all of this stuff we have talked about and you know, of course branded by many as COVID deniers and nut jobs. Conspiracy theorists! Yes, and then it comes out... All they're doing is playing clips I might add Adam Curry's a nut job And the only By the way, I think you should sue him For not actually being a nut job? I think it was libelous what he said. Oh, interesting. Exit strategy? Yeah, we can talk to an attorney about this. Exit strategy anybody? Hey hey, I'll split it with you John. Call Thomas J Henry! That's the guy that I always see on TV. Anyway... where was I? What were we talking about? I completely lost the plot. You were on a rant about how this has been

17:34 What we're witnessing is a rehash of what we have been talking about since March of last year. And then, what happens is people send these new information and I get really...I get irritated! Not that no one can help it, but me. Like gosh do I have to rehash all this shit? It's like oh this is really big news?! Oh this is not new there are videos coming out now that we played clips from a year ago and people think they're new So it's just hard, you know because I... It feels like we're too far ahead of the curve. We got to slow down a bit we need to predict things You know like maybe a month ahead even a month is too much people don't remember that

18:15 Okay, so let's go back to stuff we know now out in the open. Against COVID-19 the Australians during their winter same thing they had almost no flu largely due to the kinds of things including mask wearing So it is conceivable that as we go on a year or two or more from now That during certain seasonal periods when you have respiratory borne viruses like the flu people might actually elect to wear masks to diminish the likelihood that you'll spread these respiratory-borne diseases. Or maybe, you know... Maybe we'll tell you to lock down or something like that. It's totally possible. Don't let us forget the potential for the environmental lockdown for global warming! No no no no! You're going too far! Too far? You gonna have to hold back on that one because we're gonna transition straight into it

CHAPTER 09 / 71 Discussion

Scott Gottlieb, mRNA Flu Vaccines

Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb discusses the potential for a severe flu season due to a lack of natural immunity built up during the pandemic. The segment explores the transition toward mRNA technology for future influenza vaccines and how vaccinated individuals should assess their personal risk.

scott gottlieb· fda· pfizer· mrna· flu vaccine· immunity

19:08 After we hear a little more from the doctors about the flu. Just when you were ready to get back out there, the pandemic perhaps ready to take another toll after a year of hardly any seasonal flu cases doctors are predicting a possible surge it is expected that these viruses will start circulating at high levels again thanks to masks and social distancing there have been fewer than 2 000 lab confirmed cases of the flu this season to date a tiny fraction of what we normally see But while COVID-19 mitigation may have lessened the spread of the seasonal flu, it may have also left many without immunity they would've normally built up. Especially children. There are more susceptible kids than there has ever been in a given flu year because those kids didn't have the opportunity to be infected with flu. While no one can predict how bad the flu season will get doctors say there is a way to take control You want to stay out of the hospital? You want not die of flu? Well then get your flu vaccine

20:03 and maybe hanging on to some of those good habits gained through COVID, like hand washing and staying home if you're sick. Lessons learned from a pandemic that could prevent seasonal flu from adding to the toll." And I think what we're good at here is identifying trends in the M5M, what they're pushing. This is the trend with the flu. Here comes Scott Gottlieb former FDA commissioner and also on the board of Pfizer. Look, I think that's right. People get uncomfortable when you start comparing the rate of death and the risk of COVID to flu because some comparisons have been made in the past but i think for most consumers who need something to anchor against, I think that is a fair assessment if your fully vaccinated against COVID with one of the western vaccines your risk of having a bad outcome from COVID is about comparable to flu and maybe less because the vaccines for COVID are more effective than the vaccines for flu so

21:22 a reasonable way for the average consumer to anchor their thinking about COVID right now. Again, the only residual concern I think a fully vaccinated person should have is are they themselves immunocompromised? And you know if you are if you have a chronic disease that makes you more vulnerable and the vaccines won't be as effective for you and are you going to be around people who are immunocompromised? There you want to be more careful that's where I would still exercise some caution Who's that weenie? That is, that's the former FDA commissioner and the current board member of Pfizer. Oh Pfizer! Yeah, that says Scott Gottlieb oh yeah oh yeah course there are brand new fangled vaccines much better than those old flu vaccines they're no good keep that in mind you know when they move to the mRNA flu vaccine then we're gonna get somewhere uh that's what he said that's what he's trying to say

CHAPTER 10 / 71 Discussion

Doug Ford on Deference to Medical Officers

Ontario Premier Doug Ford states that politicians cannot publicly disagree with their chief medical officers without facing political ruin. The hosts compare this dynamic to the pressure faced by former President Trump when dealing with federal health officials.

doug ford· ontario· canada· public health· chief medical officer· political pressure

22:14 Yeah, but I'm sorry. You mispronounced it. MRNA... that's not the right way to say it The basic scientific research the companies like Pfizer and others are going to be doing with their enema Enema? mRNA It's the enema vaccine don't you? You got to understand this now okay fun when sometimes a politician really tells you the truth and this was not just a truth wants to come out moment he just came out and said it Doug Ford who is the premier is it Ontario yes okay up there in Canada

22:57 He made it very clear that when it comes to public health and people like Fauci, and he has his own versions of Fauci. It's just not a good idea as a politician, not a doctor to disagree with them I'm going to be very frank there is no politician in this country who is going to disagree with their chief medical officer They just aren't gonna do it they might as well throw rope around the neck or jump off a bridge They're done! I am telling you the facts its very simple And I think he's right. You don't, that's look at what they did with Trump you do not disagree you do not disagree with the medical professionals because you might as well just tie a rope around your neck and jump off a bridge and that's why everyone is going along with the program this is where I dove in a little bit deeper as to what exactly is happening we've uh...I think for sure

CHAPTER 11 / 71 Discussion

Hydroxychloroquine Suppression, Pharmaceutical Influence on Media

The discussion focuses on the alleged suppression of COVID-19 treatments like hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin to protect vaccine interests. Claims are made regarding Pfizer's advertising budget and its influence over media editorial decisions, including the timing of vaccine efficacy announcements.

hydroxychloroquine· pfizer· big pharma· advertising· trump· ivermectin

23:50 when Trump first started talking about treatments, now casually just discussed like UV light and ivermectin and Regeneron and certainly hydroxychloroquine in combination with zinc. When he suggested it that's when the big pharma controlled media just went... And they may have done it on their own accord Of course at a certain point we had that, remember that phony baloney study that was done by a bunch of people from a modeling agency and it made it all the way into the top medical journals? And that was immediately used as proof that hydroxychloroquine is dangerous. Dangerous to your health. Could kill you! Yeah could kill you That's definitely...that's the smoking gun as far as I'm concerned but

24:42 And probably prompted by the profit-driven big pharmaceutical companies who advertise and control all the money and control the media, and I'm going to prove that. Maybe what happened... You gonna prove what we know? Yeah, thank you. You're gonna pound it home is what your going to do. I'm not good at improving. I think what probably happened here is they went all in on Trump idiots stupid killing people with their people are drinking hydroxychloroquine the drinking bleach the sticking UV lights up your butt. You also have to remember that Pfizer publicly said after the election

25:24 that they held back announcing the finishing of their vaccine because if they felt, because they didn't want Trump to get reelected. The CEO for all practical... I think he may have actually said it outright that he didn't want Trump getting reelected so they weren't going to make this announcement until after the elections and Biden would win. Having worked in magazines mostly There are PR people who are constantly hounding the editors about one thing or another. And I have to assume with all the money that this dropped, I think if you had the number on one of those shows 3.2 is it 1? It's either $1 billion or $3 billion dollars that Pfizer spends a year on advertising. Oh yeah! At least yes

26:14 So it's they had they have the somebody's there calling us, you know Our people know that these no you do can't take this stuff is dangerous in there They'll call up and say to point people who studies and so you should look at this You should look at that And he just how did constantly hounding the editors to do this than do that? And it does force them The decision to be made to all of a sudden go after Trump and if they didn't like Trump to begin with so Didn't take a lot of work Because the media hates to hated Trump they still do in fact we're still due to an extreme well So it's not hard to imagine how this this played out. Well, especially the hydroxychloroquine. Well but that's that's where the problem comes in because obviously

26:57 and I don't need to prove it, all of these treatments being used around the world although banned and outlawed in federal offense in some countries things are working people are getting better there's just too many doctors out there. There's too many people talking about it and now the media and the pharmaceutical industry is frozen in its tracks because they can't now say well we were wrong They just can't. They got stuck in that and now we just have a vaccine and nothing else is being done, no other treatments truly are being done. And I think i mentioned on the last show this Dr Peter McCullough

CHAPTER 12 / 71 Discussion

Peter McCullough on Tucker Carlson, Medical Groupthink

Dr. Peter McCullough appears on Tucker Carlson Today to discuss what he describes as a coordinated effort to suppress early COVID-19 treatments. McCullough expresses concern over a global "groupthink" involving regulatory bodies and medical journals that prevents doctors from helping patients avoid hospitalization.

peter mccullough· tucker carlson· fox nation· groupthink· medical journals· censorship

27:38 who is no slouch. He's, I think the president of the American Association of Physicians and Surgeons and he actually in this first short clip he intros and gives his credits. He was on The Tucker Carlson Today, the hour-long show and there were some phenomenal things that were said in there. And only have two clips from it and I think we can get to the bottom of where how this all started We are just not being treated as human beings, literally treated with treatments that help ease COVID if you get it. I testified under oath. I have 600 publications in the peer-reviewed literature. I'm the president of a major medical society and the editor of two major journals. I've headed up 24 day safety monitoring boards in major drug trials and stopped drug trials early for safety reasons

28:33 I'm telling you, I have no agenda but i am deeply concerned that something has gone off the rails in the world. It involves science it involves the medical literature it involves a regulatory response it involves populations kept in fear and an isolation and despair this is upsetting But it's also fascinating. I think you've alluded a couple times To something being up, I think is the phrase that you used can you can you put in slightly finer point on that? Okay So the guy is real He's yeah just he's the real deal and he has not been canceled as of yet although when he first came

29:12 came out talking, I think even his testimony in the Texas House may have been thrown off of YouTube for a week or two. It's all kinds of crazy stuff but this guy is legit And throughout this entire interview, he keeps saying like something's up. Something's up and you heard him saying about some kind of groupthink in the literature in the pharmaceutical industry in the media and they continued Do you believe that NGOs? The enormous nonprofits that have a lot of sway it seems like in the public health arena are exercising influence over COVID policy in the direction that you're describing is at bat Is it some international regulatory body?

29:54 W.H.O.? I mean, what is this do you think? That's really going to be the goal of investigative reporters to figure this out there must be stakeholders or there must be some fundamental drivers for a groupthink now this is a groupthink it's in the minds of people Is anyone profiting from it I have no idea. And it's just, I just focus on the situation right in front of me Tucker. I can't tell you but I have seen things in the last year that I can't explain as a doctor Why are other doctors not helping with a simple illness to help these patients avoid hospitalization and death? Why are they not doing this? Okay and that was really the problem despite it being Fox Nation The mighty Fox broadcast network

30:41 did not, and I saw these two looking at each other sometimes when it was about how does what's going on who is behind this? Who is profiting. I don't know who's profiting! Not once did they say pharmaceutical industry not once that they mentioned Pfizer therefore it is for boatin' for them to talk about it because even though its on some you know on the Roku or on the app online if Tucker Carlson actually goes after really goes after the pharmaceutical industry then It's game over. That's how powerful Big Pharma is, a full hour on an internet app and no could not mention it and they know exactly what's going on. Wow this is fabulous! So where does this come from? How did this happen? And someone sent me um a YouTube link to a documentary that I've watched a long time ago...I think it's from 2000 or 2004

CHAPTER 13 / 71 Discussion

Rockefeller and Carnegie, History of Allopathic Medicine

A documentary clip explains how the Rockefeller and Carnegie foundations reshaped American medical education in the early 20th century. By funding specific universities and placing representatives on boards, these interests shifted the medical curriculum toward pharmaceutical-based treatments and away from homeopathic or holistic approaches.

rockefeller· carnegie· allopathic medicine· homeopathy· medical schools· pharmaceutical industry

31:33 it's about cancer, cancer forbidden cures which is not pertinent. It's in the show notes you definitely take a look at it because if you'll learn a lot that you may not know about alternative treatments for cancer but these types of things have been going on for 100 years where we have or even longer than that where we have the homeopaths versus What is the opposite of that? The allopaths. Well there's homeopathy, osteo... but it goes back to... Go ahead

32:17 No, I'm going... I wasn't gonna say it. You have the allopaths this goes back to when Allopath yeah that so those are kind of the That's the big pharma guy and the regular doctor and the homeopath MDs Exactly. And the homeopaths were much more, you know natural things and the allopaths were oh let's put some mercury in you some lead and stuff like that then I'm talking about way back before anesthesia they were sawing your leg off this is just a one clip from that documentary that i think gives us a little insight The takeover of the medical industry was accomplished by the takeover of the medical schools

33:02 Well, the people that we're talking about Rockefeller and Carnegie in particular came to the picture and said we will put up money. They offered tremendous amounts of money to the schools that would agree to cooperate with them The donors said to the schools We're giving you all this money now Would it be too much to ask if we could put some of our people on your board of directors? To see that our money is being spent wisely almost overnight All of the major universities received large grants from these sources and also accepted one, two or three of these people that I mentioned on their board of directors. And the schools literally were taken over by the financial interests that put up the money. Now what happened as a result of that is that the schools did receive

33:58 an infusion of money. They were able to build new buildings, they were able to add expensive equipment to their laboratories, they were able to hire top-notch teachers but at the same time as doing that they skewed the whole thing in the direction of pharmaceutical drugs That was the efficiency in philanthropy The doctors from that point forward and history would be taught pharmaceutical drugs All of the great teaching institutions in America were captured by the pharmaceutical interests in this fashion. And it's amazing how little money it really took to do it

CHAPTER 14 / 71 Discussion

Osteopaths vs. Allopaths, Joseph Mercola Censorship

The hosts discuss the distinction between allopathic MDs and osteopathic doctors, noting the historical tension between the two branches. They report that Dr. Joseph Mercola removed COVID-related content from his website following threats to his supplement business from regulatory interests.

osteopathy· joseph mercola· quackery· supplements· bill gates· allopaths

34:38 Just all fact-based and that is why today's physicians, doctors often not all of course often are car mechanics. They can do some you know the actual mechanical stuff bones heart fascinating fantastic medicine works well you're in and out often with a lot of these things when it comes to anything else they've been trained this is what I identify here's what I prescribe nothing else, no holistic approach even. By the way that third angle of medicine is the osteopaths What are the osteopaths? The osteopath is an actual legitimate... I think you can even do prescriptions and become a doctor

35:21 And it's the group and there are a bunch of schools that were never taken over by the allopaths, the ones that did drug guys. They're the natural guys I don't know how else to describe it. Oh Alex Jones! Now Alex Jones is not a doctor. That Mercola guy... Oh yes, Mercola! Yeah yeah, he sells the same stuff He's an actual doctor but he's an osteopath and so the allopaths always like to call the osteopaths a bunch of quacks And quack is actually- The origin of that word is from the cure for cancer That's where it comes from Today's conspiracy theory back in the day was quacks

36:07 And by the way, Mercola he just took every single article about COVID off his blog because they were threatening his business. They were threatening to shut down his supplement business and he took everything it's all gone He took it all down that's how powerful The Allopath and the allopathic industry is now right Just replace those names Rockefeller or whatever with Gates in fact Frederick Gates Bill Gates' grandfather I believe was put on the board on behalf of the Rockefeller Foundation. I don't know that Frederick Gates is Bill Gates's grandfather... Okay, well i'm pretty sure somebody in the control room can look that up while we're talking about it. Even if I'm wrong just replace those names with Gates! It's a good name to have. The philanthropy funds well in fact uh

CHAPTER 15 / 71 Discussion

Gates Foundation Investment Strategy, Alex Friedman

Alex Friedman, CFO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, explains the dual nature of the organization's financial structure. The hosts highlight that a significant portion of the foundation's assets are invested in the same industries influenced by its philanthropic grants, creating potential conflicts of interest.

bill & melinda gates foundation· alex friedman· investment· philanthropy· grants

37:05 Let me add this to it, this is very short. This is the CFO of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Alex Friedman explaining how they actually do it if you've ever wondered how You know how the money flows within this enormous foundation? Well, you may be surprised. Traditionally foundations have separated two worlds that coexist inside of them One is the group that gives out the money and the other is the group that invests the money And those that invest the money their job is to maximize returns Those that give out the money their job is to make the world a better place whatever the social mission That the Foundation's focused on our missions

37:43 the two never, the twins shall meet so to speak. What we're doing is basically borrowing from the side of the house that invests the money in a very small amount and hoping that we can help galvanize additional money to flow to the other side of the house one then helps on social mission side it's hard culturally for a lot of foundations I think to address that its often Chinese wall between one and the other set of kind of complex dynamics, there's a fair amount of risk analysis that has to go in and a fair amount of financial deal structuring competency. And I think some foundations have more of that than others and many are starting to move in that direction." So in fact only 5% of the Gates Foundation is gifted

38:26 and the rest sitting right there in the same building is trading and investing based upon the policy issues that are being set by grants to, I don't know medical schools? Medical journals? WHO. It's sick! And it has been going on for a long time. I want to go back to Dr Peter McCullough for one moment because there was something that he said is this the one something that he said in a different interview that I found, did maybe go and research something and. I have to say i could not be more delighted that i found this guy of bio terrorism the original woohan strain called the wild type strain hit america

CHAPTER 16 / 71 Discussion

T-Cell Immunity, Swine Flu Protection

Dr. Peter McCullough explains the narrow immunity provided by vaccines compared to the broader protection of natural recovery. One host shares a personal theory of "super immunity" resulting from a previous 2010 H1N1 swine flu infection, citing research on cross-reactive T-cell responses.

sars-cov-2· h1n1· t-cell immunity· super immunity· antibodies· wuhan strain

39:16 early on, now is basically gone. The most recent CDC estimates as of end of March is we have 14 different strains or mutant strains in the United States and the most common one is the United Kingdom variant that the wild type has basically gone. The vaccines by the way are coded for the original Wuhan wild-type virus So the vaccines and they're very limited, narrow type of immunity. It's just against the spike protein this is very important it's not there's no immunity gets a nucleocapsid polymerases looks like very little cellular or innate immunity it's simply a transient very high spike antibody protection that these vaccines are trying to offer individuals I think what you're listening so

40:02 What I learned from him is that there really wasn't... There's like in a different interview he said, the SARS-CoV2 COVID 19 and the swine flu from 2010 is 80% identical. I think we kind of knew that? No Yeah, well I recall something like it And so I said, that's interesting. Let me... because you know, I still have not...I'm amazed I've not had anything. I'm out and about with people even the vaccinated people everyone is all around me nothings happening So on a whim I start searching and boom right at the top from January 11th 2011 People who recover from swine flu may be left with an extraordinary natural ability to fight off flu viruses

40:58 And this was, in fact this theory brought them to some of the initial vaccine concepts they were working on. Beating about of H1N1 the body makes antibodies that can kill many other flu strains and this is from The Journal of Experimental Medicines Well guess who had swine flu? I'm invincible! I had the swine flu Do you remember? I was in San Francisco, in the hotel room sick for about five days. The cough was bad...

41:35 Dude, I have super immunity. Dude! I have super immunity and... You could? And check it out there's a test because this is called T cell immunity and the FDA has authorized this new t-cell test now they're doing that for long haulers but it's what is it called home tea detect now they do have to draw blood not my favorite thing but I'm gonna do this and I just may have super immunity T-cell superimmunity and there may be, you know... And this leads right back to these people like myself should not be vaccinated. People who have recovered had coronavirus and recovered should not be vaccinated at all! It's everywhere that... Now you're giving medical advice? No I'm saying it's in the literature it's everywhere in the literature yeah that doesn't matter we just need to keep marketing that stuff let's keep marketing it away

CHAPTER 17 / 71 Discussion

Merriam-Webster Definition Changes, Vaccine Side Effects

The Merriam-Webster dictionary has updated its definition of "anti-vaxxer" to include those who oppose vaccine mandates. Additionally, the hosts discuss reports of unusual side effects, including a listener's anecdote and a Sky News report linking COVID-19 to erectile dysfunction.

merriam-webster· anti-vaxxer· erectile dysfunction· sky news· dictionary· side effects

42:34 Okay, sad update when it comes to vaccines. First once again the dictionary has changed a definition and I would say that you and I are not anti-vaxxers we are in fact probably pro safe vaccines but according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary There is a change now. The definition of anti-vaxxer, spelled with double X in the dictionary A person who opposes vaccination or laws that mandate vaccination Now you're an anti-vaxxer Not my body my choicer Pro choice No You're anti-vax

43:26 Mind-boggling to me. Mind boggling and I wonder how many dictionaries... well, of course we know they can't copy it word for word but they're going to have to do something The other thing is that I received a note from one of our producers very concerning And this now turns out to be a thing About two months ago I met a woman here in Austin says our producer February 15th We dated briefly casually for about 2 months on the weekends She informed me that she had taken the vaccine and took the second dose about three weeks ago. I haven't, but I had trouble maintaining an erection with her. She even said hey maybe that's something you should check! I'm 55 have never had an issue before only around her. I also experienced strange sensation in my head and left ear... ...that has since disappeared but was extremely annoying and kept me awake at night It would be accurately described as tensor tympani issue

44:26 Since we're not seeing each other anymore, both issues have disappeared. Now from the people who brought you Viagra comes the shot that now... Let me see this is well Sky News... It means you gotta take viagra or else! That's right COVID-19 can infect penis tissue and could lead to erectile dysfunction study says I mean these guys are genius They are so smart! The marketing is right in the product. It's fantastic, oh my goodness that I'm very very proud of also have you seen the magnetic COVID arm yet?

CHAPTER 18 / 71 Discussion

Vaccine Pricing Disparities, Pfizer vs. Moderna

A comparison of COVID-19 vaccine prices reveals that Johnson & Johnson costs approximately $10 per dose, while Pfizer is $19.50 and Moderna is $30. The hosts suggest that higher-priced vaccines are favored by government procurement processes and that prices may rise further after full FDA approval.

pfizer· moderna· johnson & johnson· vaccine cost· government spending· astrazeneca

45:16 No. Oh, this is great it's everywhere on YouTube or TikTok or Instagram This is a scam for sure I don't think so people who just receive right on the shot where they have the Pfizer You can put a little piece of metal or you know something that would Be attracted by magnet and sticking to his coin It's sticking to people's arms. I think it's true coin has got iron in it Hey, I'm just telling us. I was asking I'd I'm not making it up here. I'm just telling you what I see Okay, the... Well, while you're doing this Pfizer thing let me do it. You know since we're...you complimented Pfizer I do have a couple clips that want to get out of the way because it's my only clips for COVID. Uh-huh. I was thinking when I first heard this I said this is..you know they've gone after everybody they can Johnson & Johnson and kind of took them off the market. I did the pricing on these different vaccines so I could see why Johnson & Johnson such a threat. Oh!

46:16 The price for the, it's all paid for by the government which is hundreds of billions of dollars so far. Almost just unbelievable amount of money that they're throwing at these companies. The AstraZeneca, I'm sorry, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is $10 for one shot. The Pfizer vaccine is $19 and 50 cents for one shot and you need two So there's more money to be made with Pfizer. But the Moderna shot is 30 bucks a pop! Oh, so 60 total? But that's pre-approved pricing once they get the full approval it goes through the roof they can do whatever they want I don't know if this gonna go up or down but you know it could go down in nothing but AstraZeneca as the other one they really don't wanna see on the market I didn't get the price of that one but they come out with a great story

CHAPTER 19 / 71 Discussion

AstraZeneca Vaccine, Dave Myers Amputation Story

Former Taekwondo champion Dave Myers suffered a severe leg infection and subsequent "explosion" of the limb shortly after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine, leading to a below-the-knee amputation. While doctors have not confirmed a causal link, the story has sparked debate over the risks of the vaccine for different age groups.

astrazeneca· dave myers· taekwondo· amputation· cambridge· blood loss

47:12 And I got a copy of it. It didn't go very far, but it was on at least was on the McJoe McDojo podcast Okay Yeah, and this is the exploding leg syndrome Hey guys Rob here with me don't you have played here? It's COVID exploding leg part one Oh Joe news we're gonna be discussing an ex-taekwondo world champion whose leg exploded after an infection Let's check out the story Dave Myers developed an infection that got progressively worse until his leg exploded and doctors at Cambridge Attenbrook's Hospital were forced to chop below the knee. Dave Myers, age 58 who was crowned Taekwondo champion at the World Martial Arts Championships in 1984 flew home in April of 2020 after work dried up in the pandemic

48:04 He's set up home in Stanford, Lincolnshire which I'm pretty sure i butchered but I tried my best and lived an ordinary life until March 5th when he developed flu-like symptoms at a sky high temperature. Mears said this came hours after his AstraZeneca vaccine shot before getting worse over the month he fears it could be linked however doctors insist the cause is not known A team from Peterborough City Hospital took one look at his limb and rushed him to the hospital for a two day stint before being transferred to Cambridge's Attenbrooks Hospital. It was there that Dave's plight came to a gruesome head as his leg exploded, sending blood everywhere

48:40 The 50 year old said, there was blood everywhere. It was terrifying I had the operation and they amputated the leg and i lost 5 units of blood it was pretty serious and i was feeling pretty poor after that he added, i just find it strange that i became ill for weeks on the night of the vaccine which has resulted in me losing my leg i think its got to be linked...it has put me off from having a second one The doctors say it's hard to prove that it was linked to the COVID shot and that the infection could have been there for some time, but I don't think it's a coincidence. Doctors told Dave they'd have to operate immediately and initially said to him that he might lose a couple of toes. Gradually, the medical team informed him that his infection had gone so deep into the bone that they would have to chop below the knee." It's the allopaths from hundreds of years ago!

49:27 It's almost as though something like this obviously happened. It's not a bogus story and the Pfizer marketing guys said, how come this isn't getting more publicity? And so they still couldn't get much out there that ends up on this podcast but... No it's not enough! It's just not enough I mean hello Curry Dvorak Consulting Group we're here for you He said at first the doctors thought I might be Yeah, I'm sorry. Play part two. Might lose a couple of toes then it was half my foot then finally it was I'm afraid you're going to lose your leg

50:04 The infection has gone deep into the bones, so they took no chances and amputated just below the knee. Recently MHRA chief executive Dr June Raines said our position remains that the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine AstraZeneca against COVID 19 with its assorted risks of hospitalization and death continues to outweigh the risk for the vast majority of people The balance of benefits and risks is very favorable for older people, but it's more finely balanced for younger people. And we advise that this evolving evidence should be taken into account when considering the use of the vaccine." You know there's another thing that's kind of illogical which is this older-people younger-people thing especially when younger people don't even get COVID

CHAPTER 20 / 71 Discussion

MIT Report on COVID Skeptics, Data Empiricism

A report from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) found that COVID-19 skeptics often place a high premium on data analysis and the scientific process. The study notes that these groups treat science as a process of inquiry rather than an institutional authority.

mit· covid skeptics· data visualization· empiricism· science· peer review

50:51 And especially since the Norway group where they gave it to a bunch of oldsters and all of them over 80 died. Yeah, this is really a bad situation so far as these health officials are the problem. That brings me to a report from MIT the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who according to the report and I have it here. It's a nice PDF infiltrated a COVID skeptics community and they did a report on it and you know what they found? They found that skeptics COVID skeptics online place a high premium on data analysis and empiricism

51:40 Yes, they believe in science. Most fundamentally the groups we studied believe that science is a process and not an institution! This is worth your time to read it's fantastic that people are so crazy about analyzing and visualizing data of course have no business doing it because just because you have Excel doesn't mean that yours as scientist But maybe we should point the obvious out when it comes to these experimental use authorization vaccines.

CHAPTER 21 / 71 Discussion

Nuremberg Code, Medical Ethics in the Pandemic

The hosts evaluate current vaccination policies against the ten points of the Nuremberg Code, which was established following Nazi medical experiments. They discuss potential violations regarding voluntary consent, animal trials, and the right of subjects to terminate their participation in a medical experiment.

nuremberg code· medical ethics· informed consent· human experimentation· nazi trials· fda

52:16 And that is the Nuremberg Code. I've not heard a lot of people talk about it, but it may be important just because of the way people are pushing this on to us and The Nuremberg code came out of the Nuremberg trials where Nazi war criminals were tried along with some of the many of the medical staff who had conducted horrible experiments all kinds of nutty stuff Didn't they hang people at the Nuremberg trial? Yeah, they hung them. And they came out with a ten points... well there's a lot more but here's the 10 most important points of the Nuremberg Code for permissible medical experiments and I just want to run down so we can just check that what's happening before our very eyes is not in violation of what we learned from the Nazis

53:11 I think it would be useful. Number one, the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential. Do you think that we violated that yet? Like forcing people to get it? I think so. Yeah, I think a lot of companies are violating it and all the schools that are requiring the shot... That's a violation of the Nuremberg Bill. Number one. Number two. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society unprocurable by other methods or means of study and not random and unnecessary in nature

53:48 I'm not even sure what that means. I kind of know what it means, mm-hmm It means you can't do things to people if they're or to cure somebody if there's alternatives You can't you know, it's like ivermectin hydroxychloroquine huh? Okay so far we're two for two. I think so. I think so number three The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation, and a knowledge of the natural history of the disease or other problem under study that the anticipated results will justify the performance of the experiment. Well I think we skipped the animal trials did we not?

54:25 Yeah, we skipped them because they would kill everything. In a blatant violation of the third Nuremberg Code 4, the experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury exploding leg. Oh my goodness, you know when I did this the first time just silently to myself...I don't remember getting to number five and having them all but you're right! Here we go 5 no experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur except perhaps in those experiments with the experimental physicians also serve as subjects

55:12 Well, this is an interesting one because you have this dilemma where Fauci got the shot we think. We think? I'm sure the CEO of Pfizer got the shot but he's never said he has but i would hope he did This one...I would have a question about it next time. Okay, alright and we'll put in the gray zone Sixth, The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment Well, I think we've already kind of gotten past that one haven't we? The percentage... I don't know. The percentage of people who got were harmed from COVID contracting COVID not just having a case but from contracting it i believe to be much smaller than the percentage of people who have been harmed by a vaccine at this point So this is the big question. I mean I think we can assert it but I don't think you can prove it. You go back to that clip you played

56:10 The doctor, producer who said there may be more deaths from the shot than there are from COVID. That's possible. Number seven proper preparations to be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury disability or death yes I think that's how it works with a drive-thru vaccination right? It's like hey if you die at least you die in your car So that's done. The experiment should be conducted by only scientifically qualified persons, the highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment. I don't think we can say much about that

56:52 During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached a physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to be impossible. Yeah I'm there! I am sorry we have to stop this because it's mentally challenging for me And 10, during the course of the experiment the scientist in charge must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage if he has probable cause to believe in the exercise of good faith superior skill and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result an injury disability or death to the experimental subject. I think that this will be one of the last clips I have here's Dr. McCullough again

CHAPTER 22 / 71 Discussion

Trusted News Initiative, Vaccine Death Reporting

Dr. Peter McCullough discusses the Trusted News Initiative, a coalition of media and government stakeholders designed to suppress negative vaccine information to prevent hesitancy. The segment also covers the VAERS database, noting that thousands of deaths have been reported following vaccination, far exceeding the typical threshold for pulling a drug from the market.

trusted news initiative· vaers· fda· vaccine hesitancy· censorship· media coalition

57:38 Well, let me state that the FDA when it evaluates drug products or other biologic products There are two assessments of causality. One is by the local doctor and then by the sponsor or the manufacturer, the product. The FDA doesn't opine on causality as to FDA honestly doesn't differentiate on whether they anybody thinks a death for instance was due to a product but our typical new drug for instance at about five deaths unexplained deaths we get a black box warning you said and your listeners would see that on TV may cause death And then at about 50 deaths or new product, it's off the market. It's pulled off the market. And currently according to the openvairs.com which is an abstraction of the VAERS database we're at almost 4,000 deaths and as you just heard it doesn't matter if its causality or not someone died around the time they got the shot they typically stop the experiment but okay it's emergency use so use

58:39 I guess it's okay. And here is the most pertinent thing the doctor said about how things are being communicated through the media. There is a trusted news initiative which is very important for Americans to understand, this was announced December 10th and this is a coalition of all major media and government stakeholders in vaccination where they are not going allow any negative information on vaccines to get into popular media because they're concerned about vaccine hesitancy that if Americans got any type of fair balance on safety events, they simply wouldn't come forward voluntarily and get the vaccine. So the Trusted News Initiative is really troublesome because we're now at record numbers of deaths... So yeah it's really troublesome! It's not the only thing that's going on my friend and now let's go to the- By the way who is that again? Dr Peter McCullough

CHAPTER 23 / 71 Discussion

Colonial Pipeline Ransomware, Infrastructure Spending

The ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline by the group DarkSide has led to fuel shortages and a push for President Biden's $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and other officials are using the crisis to advocate for a more resilient national energy grid.

colonial pipeline· darkside· fbi· pete buttigieg· infrastructure bill· joe biden

59:31 That's a great clip. I'm gonna give you Clip of the Day for that one. Thank you. So now we had one of these moments where, yeah... We often say that's why there are two of us! If if i say something boneheaded and you catch it or either way It is like Yeah okay Good, there's two of us and that's why we keep each other in check. And we had a slight disagreement on the previous episode about the colonial pipeline about the ransomware hack and I think you tied it more to Bitcoin also little bit to Russia now that didn't really play out that well but

1:00:15 I didn't tie it to Russia. No, no you said you talked about how she was pretending to point toward Russia in her report but you said you say it's about Bitcoin and cheap... Well no I said about making some money yeah. Just so we understand? We were both right So we were both spot on the money as to what this ransomware hack is all about. And it started very quickly on the, as I said no-no this is Texas just like this like The Grid, idiot Texans can't keep it running even though that's not true We know there was speculation and energy trading Enron like tactics that took everything offline

1:00:58 Hey, this is just dumb shit. We need new infrastructure we need a national grid and it didn't take long MSNBC's Nicole Wallace A massive cyber attack that has shut down a major US pipeline is exposing a hole in our infrastructure security as the country The FBI says a group called Dark Side believed to be operated by a Russian cyber crime gang Is responsible for compromising the colonial pipeline which stretches more than 5500 miles and supplies roughly 45% of the East Coast's fuel supply. Today, President Biden is using the attack as another reason to push for his proposed $2.3 trillion spending on infrastructure and jobs as this focus turns this week to making a deal with impossible GOP that's far more focused on opposition to President Biden, the Democratic agenda in any sensible anti-Trump rhetoric

1:01:50 We have efforts underway with the FBI and DOJ, Department of Justice to disrupt them and prosecute ransomware criminals. In addition to companies stepping up we need to invest to safeguard our critical infrastructure That's one of the many things my American jobs plan is designed to do. Yay! Of course, never let a good crisis go to waste but it got better they pulled Pete out. fuel supply, that we should be building additional pipelines going forward? Well in this case this was an issue about how a cyber attack impacted the pipeline that's there. I'm not sure it really speaks to the number or quantity of pipelines or their throughput

1:02:40 I do think it reminds us that we need to make sure that we have the most resilient and flexible infrastructure for the future, especially when it comes to something like energy. We've now had you could argue two major wake-up call experiences one in Texas and now one here each with a different cause but both reminding us about the work that we have to do as a country except he flubbed it because they were both in Texas I don't know why he said yeah one in Texas and the other one here it happened in Texas gas prices, you know the same thing that happened with Harvey. You shut that thing down... Well I do have two clips like the play which is... I don't know how he made this segue to this topic by the way? It's very very strange No because it's going straight into climate change! That's why

CHAPTER 24 / 71 Discussion

Gas Hoarding Panic, Southeast Fuel Shortages

Panic buying has led to fuel shortages at nearly 1,800 gas stations across the Southeast, with Florida, Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia declaring states of emergency. Media reports show citizens hoarding gasoline in unsafe containers, exacerbating the supply issues caused by the pipeline shutdown.

1:03:27 I promised you climate change. No, but you were talking about the deaths from the vaccine and... Yeah and I said we're done! And I said we're done! Did you miss the whole thing where sometimes we're both right? That whole that was my transition. No i heard that but it was like- That was your segue and I've been thinking where are we going with this Well after an hour of COVID let's do something else Hold on a second Oh yeah it was an hour of COVID um Let's Well, since we're on this topic... Yes! It's important. I do have a couple of clips that I want to get out of the way which is this hoarding Ah yes This is pathetic I have two clips, part wise the same clip part one and two. And unfortunately I spelled one that one clip... I see it! I got you can i play it? Let's go meanwhile yes here in America oh wait where is this who are these exasperated people okay these this is good I think this is a CBS This Morning they do a lot of news stuff and they they do it in its almost like a modern way of doing the news where you have to people

1:04:32 Do you remember the days of happy news? It used to be called and all the TV... It was called, well it stopped being happy news when it became human interest. Well there was a bunch of smiling guys yucking it up on this set Yeah And at this local zoo look at these cuties having a good time! Yes, something like that along those lines This was in the 70's I think In late 70's But it was called hey, I know they refer to it around here as happy news and everybody's yucking It up there having a great time doing the news. This is what they're doing on this on this morning CBS Morning Show with Gail and Anthony Mason and some guy some other guy who's on this segment Who I don't know who he is but he's got he comes up a couple times in my clips but

1:05:26 This is that's what you're getting. That's what you asked the question, that's the answer there you go play meanwhile Yes here in America yes We do have problems though they are different in scale disruptions at gas stations across the southeast as a critical pipeline remains shut down Due to a cyber attack huge lines formed across multiple states yesterday has panicked Americans started a run on gas So according to Gas Buddy, nearly 1800 gas stations are out of fuel. Florida, Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia have declared states of emergency while American Airlines says it is adding stops to some long-haul flights so planes can refuel. Our lead national correspondent David Begnaud is in Atlanta. David good morning to you the average price for a gallon of gas is right now at the highest it has been in nearly seven years our people reacting

1:06:14 People are panicking, Tony. And it's hurting all... By the way that's a lie! It was higher during Hurricane Harvey when they shut down this very same pipeline. Well I don't know? Do you know that because you never... What's the price what's the price he says is the highest ever what's the price good journalists and tell us what's the price cuz I'm telling you right now in California whatever is there still higher here You know where it is best price People are panicking, Tony. And it's hurting all of us take a look at this picture out of Alabama This lady filling up gas cans in the back of her vehicle is exactly what we're all being asked not to do Where we are in Atlanta this morning 30% of stations are reportedly out of fuel This is like when we ran out of toilet paper and Lysol during the pandemic because everybody made a run on the grocery store We have enough gas in this country It's just a matter of hauling it where it needs to be So please experts are asking don't panic

1:07:05 We got a call from family that said you better fuel up before you hit Tennessee. There is panic at the pump from Virginia all the way down to Florida I was suspecting just prices would go way up, but didn't suspect there wouldn't be any the next day Hundreds of gas stations across the region are starting to run out We put a stop to the can sales today. People were coming in and trying to buy five and ten cans worth of gasoline, they're just hoarding it. The pipeline sends oil from Houston Texas to Linden New Jersey near New York City. Hackers breached the company's computer system so Colonial was forced to shut down the pipeline cutting off a major source of gasoline jet fuel and diesel to several states you know this

Koch Industries, Colonial Pipeline Leak History

The Colonial Pipeline, co-owned by Koch Industries, has a history of maintenance issues, including a massive 1.2-million-gallon leak discovered in North Carolina in 2020. The hosts speculate that the current ransomware crisis may serve as a pretext for government-funded infrastructure upgrades for the aging system.

koch industries· colonial pipeline· gasoline leak· infrastructure· environmental impact

1:07:55 When the population is in fear, these things are very easy to trigger. I don't think the media even has to do very much but more importantly what product can we talk about that we could perhaps invest in as an exit strategy? That we could tell people was running out. It's from the Rubicon playbook! Which one can we choose? We need something that we can tell people it's running out you know, something that is really stupid. It has... but I... Well yeah toilet paper was probably the one of the investment opportunity there was there. Coke Industries! They got wood they get they get toilet paper well we have by the way do you know who is a co-owner of this pipeline? Coke Brothers, Coke Industries their co-owner

1:08:51 Those bastards. And did you know that in March a huge crack was discovered by two kids hanging out on their four-wheel ATVs? This thing has leaked about 1,000,000 gallons of gasoline I wonder maybe it was time to bail out of this one It's old...it was put in place I think in 1953 or 1963 Yeah 63 It's coated in tar, which is not great if it springs a leak. And it's coke industry! You sound like an old crotchety old pipeline that needs to go I think there's a distinct possibility that was some motivation you know you can't just abandon the pipeline Then you have the government helping Let the government help pay for the re-do

1:09:41 The do-over for this pipe band. Well, that is interesting! You want to play the second clip and then remind me? Yeah let's play the second clip it's just more of the same but I do want to mention that the visuals on this were dynamite they had some old woman With five gallon gas or five or ten, I don't know they're huge gas canisters and stacking them in the back of her Jeep Cherokee one on top of the other. She must have had 50 gallons of gas but bring a drum! Did you see the idiots putting gas in plastic bags? Oh no! Yes yes uh...I have to say unfortunately there's gonna be a lot of fires All right let's go

CHAPTER 27 / 71 Discussion

Bitcoin Regulation, Elon Musk Tesla Suspension

The U.S. government is moving toward stricter regulations on Bitcoin to combat ransomware payments. Simultaneously, Elon Musk announced that Tesla would suspend vehicle purchases using Bitcoin due to environmental concerns regarding the energy consumption of mining.

bitcoin· elon musk· tesla· ofac· ransomware· cryptocurrency

1:12:45 sent an apology note, oh sorry we won't do it that way in the future. We're real sorry. That's kind of a giveaway that gives you some credibility but it goes a little bit further because now OFAC which is the office of the what is it I'll come up with it in a second Now they're putting regulations in place. It's convenient because Bitcoin is annoying anyway, so why don't we see if we can do a twofer which is beautiful when you think about it? You've got the pipeline ransomware! So we need to get rid of these pipelines and old stuff. We need windmills and DC infrastructure from coast-to-coast. Texas shouldn't be running anything. They're nincompoops, they're boobs, they can't do it

1:13:30 And Bitcoin is the problem because Bitcoin is what it's all about. And now they're coming up with federal regulations, I think how are they going to regulate bitcoin in regards to ransomware? What they're going to do is they're going to make it a federal offense for you to pay off ransomware with bitcoin! So it's fantastic and timed right along with that Elon Musk comes out and says Yeah, we're suspending taking Bitcoin for our cars because you know there's too much energy that goes into Into creating it and they've deep platformed him from Bitcoin. They've done the ultimate Elon we're gonna start counting your bitcoin holdings And how much people spent in Bitcoin to buy your car when we start adding that to your emissions friend You're not gonna be completely emission free boom the guy is done

CHAPTER 28 / 71 Discussion

Jennifer Granholm, Renewable Energy Grid

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm advocates for a transition to a 100% clean electricity grid by 2035 as a solution to energy security issues. The hosts criticize her suggestion that a transmission grid would be less vulnerable to cyberattacks than physical pipelines.

jennifer granholm· department of energy· renewable energy· cyber security· transmission grid

1:14:24 He's done. You're off to a deep end here! No, what do you mean? He cannot promote Bitcoin anymore he can't. He has been sucked in absolutely now let's listen to our Secretary of Energy her name is Graeme as she talks about this Obviously we have the acute issues with the Colonial Pipeline ransomware attack but looking more holistically in macro view how does this up the efforts at DOE to move in more of a renewable direction, since this is going to have an impact on people at the pump? Yeah. I mean we obviously are all in on making sure that we meet the president's goals of getting 100% clean electricity by 2035

1:15:07 and net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And if you drive an electric car, this would not be affecting you clearly but it's just another... I don't want to, this company is acting in a responsible way. They took their pipeline down so that the ransomware would not spread and so up to this point they have been carefully reviewing so that they're doing this in a responsible way The broader issue is a very important issue. It's an issue for the president's priority in the American Jobs Plan, investing in transmission grid for example so that you don't have the cyber issues associated with it. So there's... Oh I'm sorry when you have a transmission grid there are no cyber-issues because it only happens to

1:15:57 pipelines. The issue of investing in a transmission grid for example so that you don't have the cyber issues associated with it... Really? John, you're a technology journalist and columnist and book writer Also known as author? Do you think that these cyber issues go away if we replace pipelines with transmission grids. It'd be worse! Investing in a transmission grid for example so that you don't have the cyber issues associated with it, So there's a lot of broader questions in this and we hope that will be able to see that investment in infrastructure That will facilitate clean and renewable energy Uh-huh oh that's beautiful now

CHAPTER 29 / 71 Discussion

Jones Act, Rail Transport for Fuel

The Department of Transportation is analyzing the feasibility of using rail cars and deep-water ports to transport fuel to areas affected by the pipeline shutdown. The discussion touches on the Jones Act and the potential benefits for rail companies like Burlington Northern, owned by Warren Buffett.

jones act· rail transport· fuel supply· department of transportation· warren buffett

1:16:38 Something went really strange though because I thought, as you would probably we both probably agree that the beneficiary of removing pipelines such as the KeyXL pipeline goes to Burlington Northern and Warren Buffett another Bitcoin hater. I might add just to tie it all together So, the question arose whether trains or something else should be used and I didn't understand her answer. Can you tell us what is the feasibility of using rail cars to transport fuel into the affected areas? I know that's being looked at. Yeah, um... The DOT is looking at that and so we'll have to wait till their analysis is done

1:17:22 These, these are not easy solutions because there may or may not be the right rail cars. There may not remain out be the deep water ports available for the Jones Act to be able to respond so this particular area of country where this is why it was baffling to me here I'll start the answer just It's baffling. oil in, gas in. But it's the pipe is the best way to go and so that's why... Now why does she laugh? Why does she do, ha ha ha, the pipe is the best way to get out! But it's the pipe is the best way to go and that's why Do you think they're looking at that replacement maybe like we already made the deal It's gonna be a new pipe but

1:18:22 The pipe is the best way to go. That's why hopefully this company, Colonial, will in fact be able to restore operations by the end of I read the preliminary report which was sent to me before publication. It did hit IT assets, never made it into the controllers or anything like that The reason why it shut down because they had everything isolated pretty quickly...I've learned a lot about this The reason because we have dude named Ben and dudettes name Bernadette everywhere listening and producing this program The minute you have this happen, the insurance company comes in and they take over. And they bring in whoever their auditor is, whoever their SWAT team... So it's out of Colonials' hands! This has been an insurance-managed issue from the get go

CHAPTER 30 / 71 Discussion

Gretchen Whitmer, Enbridge Line 5 Dispute

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is attempting to shut down the Enbridge Line 5 pipeline, citing environmental risks to the Great Lakes. The Canadian energy company has refused to comply, leading to a legal battle in federal court over the state's authority to revoke easements.

gretchen whitmer· enbridge· line 5· michigan· great lakes· oil pipeline

1:19:15 And there's more coming. There is some kind of attack, it's great to have higher gas prices you know just fits right in line with the climate crisis that all sucks and then we have Whitmer Governor Whitmer shutting, you know threatening to turn off the pipeline to Candanavia. It makes sense to stop its use until we can bury it and basically in a more protected way under the Straits of Mackinac as opposed to along the surface at the bottom That's the head of U-M's Water Center, Jennifer Reed speaking about controversial Line 5. The center of a growing dispute between the Whitmer administration and Canadian energy company Enbridge. Yesterday Whitmer vowed to go after the companies profits from oil carried through that section of its pipeline which travels through northern Wisconsin and Michigan to refineries in Ontario if the company defies her order of shutting Line 5 down by today

1:20:12 Last November, she revoked an easement which allows the pipes to occupy the lake bottom. She's backed by environmentalists and native tribes who agree aging infrastructure makes Line 5 a threat to the Great Lakes. Reid says a top concern is an oil spill threatening northern Michigan in a statement to Action News The company says it will not stop operating unless ordered by a court or regulator Quote, Line 5 is operating safely reliably and is in compliance with the law. The state of Michigan has never presented any concrete evidence to suggest otherwise. The US agency in charge of pipeline safety the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration has confirmed on multiple occasions that the pipelines are fit for service a company spokesman says

1:20:57 The company goes on to say that this issue is currently being litigated in federal court, where both parties have been ordered to work with a neutral mediator. So she just said you know screw it I'm going to take away your money. Just take away your money if you don't shut it down! Something's up with this all the pipelines... Something very up with especially involving her. Mm-hmm because she's dumb. I got a lot of notes from Michigan Michigoans. Michiganders And they, uh... Every time I get one of these notes it's like why did you elect this crazy woman? Well. They didn't. It was Dominion voting machines that's how they keep- It's possible she is corrupt and she got in through some corrupt voting mechanism That's possible Nobody wants to go into that because then you go into Trump Yes So we just say no everythings fine Everything on the up and up Don't worry about it

CHAPTER 31 / 71 Discussion

Rewrite The Future, Hollywood Climate Narratives

The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is working with Hollywood writers through a campaign called "Rewrite the Future" to integrate climate change themes into mainstream entertainment. Playwright Cheryl Slien explains the goal of moving away from apocalyptic tropes toward stories where characters take proactive steps to address environmental issues.

rewrite the future· hollywood· climate change· cheryl slien· nrdc· propaganda

1:21:54 Just to wrap it up from my end, we've always followed the Norman Lear Foundation. The Hollywood group that writes scripts and... It's out of USC yeah? Yeah well there's a I don't know if it's this it's not the same people that's kind of a new group who have entered the fray and there was an interesting piece on BBC Radio 4 with Cheryl Sleen, who is a script I think she's a playwright and a script writer for movies and television. She is a member of the NRDF which this is the Natural Resource Defense Foundation

1:22:36 And this is a drinking club for rich kids. I'll just give you a quick little rundown of their board of advisors, Frederick A. O. Schwartz Jr., just an example, a toy heir But also we have in here Leonardo DiCaprio, we have Julia Louis-Dreyfus. You get the picture right? Robert Redford... The usual suspects! The usual suspects but they are not covering it up they're not hiding it they're going all the way and they are believers Welcome back to News Hour Telling the right story about climate change one not overly optimistic or ruthlessly apocalyptic

1:23:15 is essential in the fight against the climate crisis. But is it something that Hollywood and the American film industry can do? Cheryl Slien is a playwright and filmmaker working on a campaign called Rewrite The Future, which aims to help producers and writers change the way they portray global warming. I mean did Norman Lear die yet or is he still around? He's still around! Because man, they're honing in on his turf here. This is exactly what he does and she's going to explain I think that what we're seeing when we speak to people in the industry who are all pretty much without exception concerned about climate change personally

1:23:55 all pretty much without exception kind of definitely concerned personally. They don't know how to go about telling stories about climate because it's viewed as such a big global impersonal issue, it's viewed as at least in America somewhat divisive politically so they don't want to alienate audiences this is the writers and the producers we speak too they kind of don't know how to go about And this is why you see a whole lot of narratives that are about apocalyptic futures, dystopic futures where there's just no hope. We're doomed! This is sort of like one of the main cultural narratives we're trying to change – we're certainly not doomed! So if we can tell more stories that have characters where yes they are scared about climate but then they step up to find out what they can do about it and this becomes

1:24:49 model for viewers. How entertaining! Or how they might do that? Yeah, I suppose you could also begin to have sort of cinematic tropes where instead of the baddies stroking Siamese cats and smoking cigarettes they could be climbing into their gas guzzling SUVs or pickup trucks Yes, or the oil executives who are hindering progress. That's the level... Oh yes those guys who are hindering process. Or having Leo DiCaprio get in his private jet and fly to the next meeting! Now the question is and her answer is phenomenal isn't really a danger in this you know? You're indoctrinating people, you're doing it subversively

CHAPTER 32 / 71 Discussion

Scripting by Committee, Subversive Environmental Messaging

The hosts discuss the "collateral effect" of embedding social and environmental messages within fictional television scripts. They note how scenes involving recycling or climate anxiety are often inserted into procedurals like FBI to influence viewer behavior and cultural narratives.

writers room· environmentalism· recycling· product placement· propaganda· leonardo dicaprio

1:25:31 Is there a danger? Is there a slight danger in this though that, you know clearly you are aiming to fight the good fight but trying to sort of write scripts or shape scripts or shape studio ideas In a sense by committee that it could be slightly deadening in the wrong hands. Oh, it's not about misinformation It could be deadening like you said boring Absolutely we are definitely not encouraging writing by committee although that is what happens in writers rooms to be honest But our aim is to give I think you know what? I think that's her tell I think she'd laugh because that's where they are They put someone in the writers room

1:26:15 That's what she is saying. Well, it is by committee and we sit in the writers room with everybody and it's... It's by committee! Absolutely. We are definitely not encouraging writing by committee although that is what happens in writer rooms to be honest. Our aim is to give writers, creatives, creative executives. The information they need to then take that and use it in their creative process as they normally would. There's really sort of magical psychological things that happen to us when we're transported by a story which makes stories quite influential, quite powerful as a social change mechanism just on its own but the key is that its got to be entertaining

1:26:59 So storytellers have to keep doing what they do. And then what we try to do is offer them this information and these details for their story that could, we hope have this collateral effect of raising awareness in the viewer changing the unhelpful climate cultural narratives about climate like it's already too late or there's nothing I can do about it. Oh man! This is gonna be so interesting You know this is already so injured. This is already underway, and you can see it I don't clip this stuff anymore But you can see when you watch any show mm-hmm And a good example like to say you're watching the FBI and right in the middle of the storyline somebody will say yeah Well, I don't know once you throw that there's you know what should go into the recycling bin do you realize that 99%? Of all plastics end up in the ocean until sea turtles right

1:27:55 There'll just be that moment in the show. Just throw it in there! Where somebody blows out a bunch of bogus information, and is kind of like oh my god I didn't know that Yeah And then the guy will take the cup out of the garbage and put it into recycling garbage which every company has now you have two or three garbage cans. They do a little approving nod to each other good work Good work, detective. Yeah and that's it there you go there's your big influence and there but there's Leo DiCaprio flying on his private jet to some other place to help them get this into the script It's so sick! That's so sick I'm gonna start clipping those moments again You got to do that I mean we do need some of that because they're all over the place is just this moment where there's like what does this got to do with anything? Oh my goodness

Morning Zoo Radio Model, Podcast Comparisons

A breakdown of the classic "Morning Zoo" radio format describes the typical cast of characters, including the host, sidekick, female newsreader, and specialized sports or entertainment reporters. The hosts compare this legacy media model to the evolving structure of modern podcasts.

morning zoo· radio formats· sidekicks· sound effects· florida radio

1:28:50 Unless you have something on the climate. Oh, let's see I do have something actually I have a something that was still in the COVID thing I wanted to go back to but it's got nothing to do with anything it's just more of a comedy sketch and I wish I wrote down the name of this podcast but there's these pod...a lot of podcasts or so this is like a lot of podcasts You know, the podcast which is like a version of The Morning Zoo. A couple guys... usually three guys. No, usually in The Morning Zoo it's two guys and a woman But in a podcast it's three guys. Hold on a second, A Morning Zoo is a host, a sidekick, a female news reader who sits and does entertainment news, a black guy who does sports and then you always have some wacky character whose on his way to the studio and always calls in with an excuse? I disagree now. Oh okay!

1:29:43 My model is this, and the model is best. There's a couple of stations in Florida I love going to Florida because the morning zoo was still prominent there it's not at Bay Area I don't even know if they have one. W-A-P-E 95 The Ape! It's the host you're right by way we can do a copy of this and I think we should someday there's the host your right and the sidekick and the woman who is not the newsreader necessary I mean she she's the news reader but she's also involved in the show and she makes commentary during the show No she goes Oh, John! That's for John. Yes exactly and but she doesn't do show business news the show business news is always a specialist at gay guy I'm sorry you are correct sir you are correct Gay Guy comes on and he tells so show businesses they all it all four of them chuckle about it and you can't tell what's going on because too noisy and then there is a black sportscaster who comes in he's also a specialist and he tells us what's going on He's called coach

1:30:39 Yeah, that would be ideal. Hey coach give us the sports news! He's also the community affairs director for some reason and there's always one of the guys and they get a lot of sound effects and you got the... Whoa! You got butt-slapped! So the podcasters don't have this model yet, but they do have...they come close. And here's a couple of podcasters and there is a third guy usually with the podcasts two guys mainly like the two of us only there is a third guy who rarely comes in but he comes once in awhile and always comes reluctantly. But heres that this is the podcasters bragging about being

1:31:27 Maxxinated. Today is a very big day for me because I am, as of what? Six o'clock this evening, I am officially maxxinated because two weeks ago at about 6-630 was when i got my second shot of Moderna and so I am ready to party except not really! I haven't changed anything and don't really plan on changing much but nevertheless at least I can walk around without fear of catching something that will make me dead So...I'm very excited about that Yeah congratulations yeah it'll be interesting to see like how we all slowly warm back up to things. I think some people are, you know... Some people never stop doing anything. Some people are gonna jump right into it the second they're allowed to. I think a lot of people are going to have a much slower ramp back to quote normal or at least unrestricted behavior.

1:32:18 It's weird, like so today literally just today I was waiting outside my school to pick up my kid and um i heard from one of the residents that the town has officially dropped the outdoor mask mandate. And first of all you know don't know if I should verify that but also like I thought okay well should I take my mask off? Like in theory I'd want too but how many people around town know All right. He went on for an hour! Here's what's interesting, I know who this is... This is the Accidental Tech podcast and the last voice you heard there about his school as a kid was Marco And this is what so beautiful about Podcasting 2.0 he's a developer and he has Overcast and he is now implementing Podcasting 2.0 features even though we have very different opinions on a lot of things Mask wearing I betcha' one of them

1:33:19 That would be one. We don't discuss it, there's nothing to discuss I know his views and i don't care And he knows my views and doesn't care we want a safe podcasting Yes that is what this was, this Accidental Tech Podcast So that's kind of beautiful. I didn't hear any tech stuff in there, but okay...I'm sure it is in there somewhere We must use this opportunity to achieve a national recovery so that jabs, jabs, jabs becomes jobs, jobs, jobs That is our plan! We all must be jabbed Any more on the COVID or anything else you had there?

Zoom Class Scandal, Columbia Secondary School

A teacher at the prestigious Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering, Amanda Fletcher, was investigated after a live Zoom class captured her engaging in inappropriate behavior with a shirtless male. The incident, which included the teacher rocking and gyrating on camera, was reported by the Special Commissioner of Investigations for NYC schools.

1:34:04 Well, this is kind of offbeat COVID related. This was a it's about zoom calls and the big scandal about the nipple sucking teacher I don't know anything about this what are you watching Tim Pool again? I don't know anything about no No, I don't you know, I've never watched him pool. I never watched him before I don't watch him now I watched Max Kaiser and Stacy on Tim Poole Oh my god What a train wreck Because you know when Max gets... It clips? No, it was unclipable. When Max gets bored that's when he goes nuts He's clearly Asperger's on the spectrum or something and I think Tim was just unprepared with just asking him dumb viewer questions What do you think Bitcoin is gonna go to max?

1:34:51 And it just went off the... They turned down his mic at a certain point. He was yelling so much, and they ended the show half an hour early. Not good. So okay anyway back to nipple sucking because this is oh I should probably uh Oh where's the real news? No but that wasn't it That was not it! All right we play here We go It just seems as if country went bananas during the pandemic Jeffrey Toobin you remember Jeff You know, just slipping off to the side to... you know. Little pleasure for himself. Oh the cameras on oh hey everybody My bad, that's a morning zoo guy right there. No he's a radio guy Unfortunately I wrote his name down and put aside everyone someone knows who he is but he's the radio guy you're right He's single hand he doesn't do zoo. He's a single hander Yeah Keep playing thanks Jeff thank you

1:35:54 Thank you for that. Well, here's the headline from Fox... I'm sorry? What?! Students at the prestigious Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science and Engineering got a bit of lesson in something else They watched a live class. Amanda Fletcher, 37 the teacher in the class appeared to suck the nipple of an unidentified topless male while gyrating and rocking back-and-forth according to the special commissioner of investigations for city schools you have a special commissioner of investigation for city schools I don't know what's more shocking that or the nipple ectomy before that students watch Fletcher eating spaghetti with the shirtless man behind her

1:36:38 That according to the SCI, that of course the special commissioner of investigations ruled out for this case. After taking her mouth off a man's chest Fletcher resumed teaching and discussing a worksheet It's like I'm sorry are you high? Did you start methamphetamines this morning What is going on what is going through that small brain case of yours because she knows she's on camera She goes back to teach in class You see that guy makes more money than us Oh, he probably does and Darren O'Neill could be him. He could! Oh man we definitely need to do a Zoo version of the show at some point I know it can... I think it's doable. I mean what you need to do is you need to put it... Ha ha good morning everybody! Yeah Dame Jennifer what's going on in Shelby did ya see that? Yeah Dame Jennifer would be the one to do the uh... That's right Dame Jennifer come on over here

1:39:50 Now, just so you know you can report all you want I don't have time to go in and block every porn account. He's not going do it! Thank You. No i'm not gonna do it. So why bother sending him anything? Well...I said well you know don't do that I can't I'm not gonna do it anyway I'm not gonna block at all he said no he wanted to invite some family members so they could see how great the social network was, but he was afraid if they clicked on the federated tab that would see porn. And to which my answer is set up your own Mastodon server and you can federate with us You can block anything you want? You can do all of that stuff It's a great way to do it and decentralize! You don't want...you don't want us to be the center of your universe What? Not my advice What's your advice? Stay off all social media Don't invite anybody or encourage it

Happy Eid, Quran Literacy Discussion

Producer Tyler Boyd sends a donation in honor of the Eid festival marking the end of Ramadan. He encourages the hosts to explore the Quran, noting that the original Arabic text is written in rhyme, which the hosts compare to early hip-hop structures.

1:48:38 And that's 1346. No jingles, no karma! Alright well thank you very much for your courage and congratulations 15 years and they never had a fight working on my morning zoo material yeah well I think it should be scripted Tyler Boyd comes up from Cary North Carolina with 356 and he writes if i can find my keyboard I can tell you what he writes there it is he writes in the morning Today's is the Eid festival in which Muslims worldwide will mark the end of Ramadan, the month of the Quran. In honor of this grand occasion I'd like to encourage Adam John and all my fellow producers to read the Quran and ponder is it possible for such a book encompassing theology law history and spirituality

1:49:34 to be created by a human being who was illiterate or must it be divine revelation? A little known fact about our Quran is that it isn't Arabic. I don't think that's a little known fact. That is a well-known fact! Well, the next part of the line is the little known fact It's not little known to me The entire book rhymes That I didn't know Yeah...that's where you're supposed to learn it If you're true...if you are devoted Muslim You should learn Arabic for this reason So basically its early hip hop?

1:50:15 Could be thanks so much for all that you do stay sane. No jingles, no krama. All right Well, thank you. I have of course read some Quran not certainly not all of it But your question don't pop. I don't need to read it to answer your question I think that would go for for many of these religious books but we appreciate and congratulate happy Happy Eid Now there's another donation that didn't get put in because I think Eric didn't get the checks but maybe he did this improperly because i tried to, I couldn't explain it enough to Jay. This is Alexander of Middle Cascadia sent in $338 and 6 cents. Is it Sir Alexander? No no I'm asking you cause' I am writing it in.

1:51:59 I can't do her voice. Well, millennial... Oh man! I'd have to think about this. I can't do it. Let's put it that way but let me get to the point of this guy he sent in 10 donations that add up to 338-06. Nice and he says anyways you should be easy no pressure your mission accepted or not is to decipher the numerology every check was a post office mail money order with a different number on it okay Do you have the numbers? No, I don't have them. They had to give him to Jay should he scans them in if you successfully decipher it without help from the troll room Adam my piping hot wife says i'll have to become a knight by year's end good luck well stay safe no one sent me the uh the scan dealer's choice health karma forget donations so he wants some health karma at the end but we have that I can take these checks there is a pile of them and read them off but

1:52:58 How long are the numbers? There's just four numbers each and there's ten of them. Well, just read them! I don't have them Oh okay alright See he doesn't understand the process that we have to go through here Eric is in the truck Jay has got the scanner You're handing off the checks And what's Mimi doing she's just brushing the dog hair She does the meet ups So it's like, you know I don't have the checks. It's a machine here ladies and gentlemen! It's out of sequence it doesn't make sense that what you want so we're not gonna do this no but I do I do want to know eventually well You know what? You could have done you could just put a bunch of numbers in the note And we could have gone that way and you can add one single check That'd worked maybe just said what you wanted to say

1:53:50 I'm sorry? Maybe it could have... I mean, I don't want to... Yeah. Just say what you want to say yeah. I don't want to disparage it but you know it's kind of like You'll love this, you'll love what's in this video. Hint it has something to do with two shows ago and then a link to an hour-and-a-half YouTube. That is exactly right! Yeah that's kind of not understanding our process but we do very much appreciate your support Alexander of Middle Cascadia am I saying that right? Is that Alexander? Yes sounds right And we will get the numbers i'll see if I can decipher it but it'll be a bit Yeah, if yeah unless they get deposited before we can do anything in a karma form as requested you've got karma I Think we're did Tyler Boyd.

CHAPTER 46 / 71 Discussion

Apple Mail and Gmail, Newsletter Delivery Issues

The No Agenda newsletter faced significant delivery issues, with many subscribers using Apple Mail and Gmail reporting that they did not receive the latest update. The hosts discuss technical causes such as DMARC record tightening and aggressive spam filtering by major tech platforms, recommending ProtonMail as a more reliable alternative.

apple mail· gmail· dmarc· protonmail· newsletter· filtering

2:05:50 I do want to mention something about the last newsletter. Yeah, what happened? What happened there? Well i think what happened was it was the strangest one nobody got the newsletter where a lot of people got and they got in different boxes than usual some people get no spam box which had never had happened before Mike up in Saskatchewan who follows his course always gets it in his promotions box. He got it in primary and that's Gmail other Gmail people never got it so I got a lot of people never got it so I sent out the second note, the number of people who didn't get it at all is high. And here's for example here's a note that came in. A note?

2:06:42 There's a note, it says Chris. I regularly use my mail app on my iMac. My Gmail account is linked to this app. I got the email but no newsletter in the email meaning the second note which is just plain text. I got the email about no newsletter in my Apple Mail App but I did not get the newsletter in my Apple Mail App so now there's the Apple Mail didn't send... They blocked our newsletter All the Apple, and then I got a lot of Apple mail apps. But then he says he checked his Gmail account on the web browser and I see that I did receive the newsletter in my inbox In other words the Apple because he has it forwarded not forwarded but duped so you could even set your email up So it goes to both yeah And a copy goes through his Gmail account and the Gmail copy was received

2:07:34 But the Apple Mail app got nothing. I also noticed several Tom Woods newsletters in my Gmail browser account that did not show up in my Apple Mail app." Well, this is likely... we don't know for sure but I will make an appointment with the Genius Bar! This is likely a part of their 14.5 upgrade, which broke their podcast app... broke it! Things don't update on time and there's all kinds of issues people don't like the layout It's okay thanks Apple Maybe? And this is also the super secure version of their platform where apps can no longer track you without opting in Like I'm excited to opt-in

2:08:19 And according to Facebook, only 4% of their tracking works anymore. So perhaps they shored up their email? There's other lots of Google mail didn't get it too he says he double-checked the all mail on his Apple Mail app and they are not there either so I think because this is not just peculiar to have Apple yes It was a huge problem. Apple mail app sucks, but... And lot of people can't even get the No Agenda show on their podcast app now it doesn't update Right I heard that too But i think there was all these companies Google all of them they use various filtering systems

2:09:02 Yeah, sure they do. To keep it from being a total mess and I think that whatever filtering...I think the filtering systems changed some parameters and re-classification. They sent out an update. And it's breaking everything left and right! Yeah, that's exactly what happened. And so we got our mail was poorly received I may have to do another one of these in the next one if it comes out just as bad. I can tell because i monitor this with various people who send me the note you know oh they got here I got there and this was a disaster. Here is real

2:09:40 Weird one. Somebody sends, you know I forgot I subscribed to the newsletter in fact i've never gotten a newsletter until this one Wow. And what did that person mention? What email system they use? I forgot, it may have been Gmail... No! It was one of those, just like Dvorak at dvorak dot org is one of his personal... a lot of people that have the personalized Email address and they run it through some system or other that's a lot of those broke. Ah, that could also be okay Like I'll tell you what that is likely Apple tighten down their D mark

2:10:23 And when you are sending email through, for instance Gmail and you're sending it as adamatcurry.com and you don't have your DMARC records set properly it will get rejected outright? Yes, it does that yep So along with that I would say I encourage people using their own email server It's not a simple thing to set up but if you're going to use any domain Please make sure you're doing it right or go to proton mail. I mean that's, i think those guys are pretty good We'll see what happens. I didn't get any responses from proton mail users but there is not many people who use proton mail

Beto O'Rourke, January 6th Insurrection Claims

Beto O'Rourke spoke in Austin, Texas, linking Republican voting laws to the January 6th Capitol riot, which he claimed resulted in five murders. During a confrontation with activists, O'Rourke asserted that Vice President Mike Pence was "nearly hung" and that the events were led by Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley.

beto o'rourke· january 6· ashli babbitt· ted cruz· voting rights act· texas

2:11:02 So any ProtonMail users out there, give me some feedback. Yeah more and more people have moved over to ProtonMail just for the security it's in Switzerland and they don't seem to be you know filtering for your convenience or outright reading your email which we know Gmail does. Google does yeah they do it for your convenience For your advertising convenience. Yes! It's for your own good I'm gonna get you straight into your CNN clips with something I promised on the last show Beto O'Rourke was in Austin to discuss of course the extremely racist voter ID laws. Oh my god! We're so racist here in Texas

2:11:41 And he laid into the January 6th insurrection. This is a little bit of that. This is part of the insurrection that we saw on January 6, where five people were murdered in United States Capitol including a Capitol police officer. This is the biggest attack on American democracy since the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was passed. That's why folks are calling this Jim Crow 2.0. So this has caught what? Wait, the Voting Rights Act was an attack on American democracy? Is that what he said? That's what he said. Yes and that's why this is now called Jim Crote since it's since the Voting Rights Act so you can... See I still prefer Biden's Jim Eagle So what you heard him say the egregious part was January 6th five people were murdered five people were murdered

2:12:31 of which two had heart attacks, one Capitol Police officer had a stroke at home. Ashley Babbitt was killed but five people were murdered and so some fine young folks here who I think Upload this to Alex Jones's band video. Maybe they are info wars These two girls they confronted Beto of course he was happy to come over and talk to him because hey young chickies, but Didn't like the questions without without name-and-names that the fact that you had the first successful breach of the US Capitol since the war do You consider Ashley Babbitt a murder?

2:13:12 I consider the fact that people were killed in our Capitol, that members of Congress were almost murdered. That the vice president was nearly hung by insurrections led by our junior senator Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley Missouri So then no not Ashley Babbitt is that right? And he's gone! Did you know the Vice President was almost hung?! This guy is out of control, this Beto. Almost hung and people were almost killed led by Ted Cruz! I gotta hear it again. Oh Ted Cruz yeah he's... Well Ted Cruz the guy who defeated him in the Senate race He has a grudge against him Let's just hear it again that was so beautiful Reach to the US Capitol It's clippable

2:13:57 Do you consider Ashley Babbitt a murder? I consider the fact that people were killed in our capital, that members of Congress are almost murdered. Almost murdered! That the vice president was nearly hung... I love it Beto. That guy is so good. Almost hung. They had the noose around his neck So close. CNN goes off on this with just like the same thing, bigger they're promoting the murderers and the whole thing they did in a total denial of everything so I got three clips about this is the CNN well yeah you can find them here's one two and three uh i see oh yeah one two and three okay yeah do you want to start playing? Is that the idea

CHAPTER 48 / 71 Discussion

House Oversight Committee, January 6th Fact-Finding

A House Oversight Committee hearing on the January 6th attack devolved into partisan finger-pointing. Republicans like Paul Gosar and Andrew Clyde defended the protesters as law-abiding citizens, while Democrats grilled former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller over the delayed National Guard response.

house oversight committee· christopher miller· paul gosar· andrew clyde· national guard· fbi

2:14:47 Yes, I started playing with the one. The facts of what happened on January 6th are being whitewashed before our very eyes Just listen to some Republicans today at a heated hearing about this attack The FBI is fishing through homes of veterans and citizens with no criminal records and restricting the liberties of individuals that have never been accused of a crime. Zero firearms from suspects charged with breaching the Capitol." Alright, so they don't whitewash... That by the way what he said is whitewashing saying that this insurrection nobody was armed how's it an insurrection if nobody's armed?

2:15:34 And it went on, this was the bunch of hearings that went on. And so CNN is all bent out of shape about this because it's like a whitewash but let's listen to part two. There was Trump supporters who lost their lives that day not Trump supporters who were taking the lives of others Not true! Let's get to CNN Justice Carson and Justice Cruz. Some of these lawmakers We're grilling the former defense secretary and acting attorney general who were in charge on January 6th. Some of them were not grilling them What did we learn today? So the guy says In other words, the murders that Beto's bitchin about and this guy the Republican says no None of this happened That way that one person was murdered was Ashley Babbitt and they wouldn't prosecute anybody

2:16:24 And then, not true. Not true! No, not true. So by saying not true I guess that covers your ass but let's listen to the end of this. Yeah you know Allison and Victor this was billed as a fact-finding hearing by the House Oversight Committee but it's been ongoing for four hours now and it has really devolved into partisan finger pointing. Democrats, for their part they've been tearing into the former acting defense secretary and the former acting attorney general really allowing them little time to respond while on the flip side Republicans have been twisting the truth of what happened on January 6th you heard it there and we see

2:17:01 saw it from Republican Congressman Paul Gosar. He issued that lengthy, full-throated defense of the rioters saying law enforcement is going after law abiding US citizens and we actually just heard from Congressman Andrew Clyde he said this was not an insurrection at all he said instead it was undisciplined mob in his words. He claimed that they stayed in orderly fashion inside the Capitol just taking videos and pictures of course, that's a far cry from what we saw unfold and all of this is amplifying calls from several members of the committee to press for a bipartisan commission to investigate January 6th. Of course the formation of that has been stalled

2:17:38 But things got particularly fiery when Democrats questioned acting Defense Secretary, the former Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller's response time for giving the green light to the National Guard to move in to secure the Capitol and then called out Miller for seeming to backtrack on previous comments that he made that former President Trump's comments are what led to the Capitol attack. Here it is Sir, because of your actions... There were 8000 batched and credentialed police officers on duty. And you weren't there! The United States Armed Forces should only be used as a last resort You were AWOL Mr Secretary, you were AWOL Remember That's completely inaccurate As you said before, that is completely inaccurate As you said before, you have responsibility for everything Something goes wrong quote unquote I own it completely 110% Sir, you partially own this mayhem

CHAPTER 49 / 71 Discussion

Media Narratives, 9/11 Style Commission

The hosts analyze the push for a "9/11 style commission" to investigate the Capitol riot, which they argue is being framed as a "coup" by left-leaning media. They suggest that the media is desperate to maintain high ratings by continuing to focus on Donald Trump despite his absence from major social platforms.

9/11 commission· coup· donald trump· media ratings· insurrection

2:18:31 Murderer! Anyway, this is going on right now. This is just... it's outrageous. Yeah they want a 9-11 style commission. A 9-11 style commission. For all practical purposes there are few broken windows and they messed up a couple of offices They didn't tear the paintings off the wall. They didn't spray paint George Washington's Gilbert Stewart painting wasn't X'd out with the red paint. They did stay within the lines, you know they walked down the red carpet that was cordoned off we saw that! We all saw it! I did... But no there was yeah which is ludicrous but no no no they were trying to they were trying it was a coup and I've seen the idea that this coup

2:19:18 attempt in all kinds of publications that were always with the same kind of left-leaning editors, which is every editor now. coup, coup is a coup. A coup attempt in other words the president is trying to create a coup against himself and the ongoing The Big Lie it was The Big Lie which is to connect Trump to Hitler and the poor media they're so desperate for a tweet from Trump you know? It's like they need something I mean we all see the ratings there in the tank across-the-board

CHAPTER 50 / 71 Discussion

Cable News Ratings, Target Demographics

MSNBC's Joy Reid reportedly received an asterisk in recent Nielsen ratings, indicating a viewership so low it falls within the margin of error. The hosts explain the importance of the 18-49 demographic for pharmaceutical advertisers and how declining ratings impact cable news viability.

nielsen ratings· msnbc· joy reid· 18-49 demo· pharmaceutical ads

2:19:54 Fox less than the rest. You know, CNN... No! Joy Reid MSNBC had an actual asterisk the other day on her ratings which is BS Tina alerted me to it. You should explain what that is to people who don't know what the hell you're talking about So in the ratings they'll have overall numbers but really, the number you want is the share in the target group which is 1849 typically although depending on the time of day for some of these channels later on The pharmaceuticals when I get them Wait before you continue Why 1849? What's...what is

2:20:35 The cosmic point of that particular age group? Well, that's the people who spend the money. You mean those are the people who watch advertisements and then maybe buy a product? Yes. No, actually I rescind that these are the people who after being incessantly told about to talk to their doctor and ask their doctor about this itch this rash this thing this extension of life who were bombarded with pharmaceutical commercials yeah and that's pretty much up to 50 And then later at night, you know they throw in some stuff for the older folks like the hero helper. You know the pill sorter all that stuff yeah It's all that stuff There's in fact I think that the mainstream media m5m They're very disappointed that Facebook is still suspended the former president

2:21:26 I think they're all disappointed because it's hurting them. It's hurting the ratings! Go back, we were explaining the asterisk. So you know typical will be like during the day 1.3-1.5 that's just your number and then it's times typically times 1000 but when you're under I think a 0.1, you get an asterisk they don't count it anymore maybe a 0.4 they don't count it anymore they just show it isn't as uncountable because the percentage of in cable that is their percentage is so small its just a rounding error yeah yeah this statistical number that are people watching you can really be determined in any meaningful way exactly so you get the asterisks yes which means your loser yes well

CHAPTER 51 / 71 Discussion

Media Boomerang Theory, Trumpeted Terminology

The hosts discuss a linguistic trend where the media uses the word "trumpeted" to associate various actions with former President Trump. They also introduce the "Media Boomerang Theory," which posits that those who abuse the media for personal gain eventually face a reversal of fortune.

media boomerang· trumpeted· linguistics· associative branding· news trends

2:22:16 You're off the air in most, even when we were doing the tech TV era. The asterisk was kept propping up on different shows. Nobody's watching this kind of stuff and it was very touchy yeah. Yeah I was trying to find... It's kinda unfortunate. Didn't we have Al Sharpton saying Aztek? Well maybe! I don't know where that went. Aztek. There is a term that's being used which I'm kind of working on, on a supercut. Which is... it's been around for awhile but its just trending When someone said- so in order to associate you and I with insurrectionists they would say Well those two guys on that No Agenda podcast They were trumpeting this He trumpeted that! Have you noticed this?

2:23:16 No. Yeah, that's the trend so I'll notice it now yeah so instead of saying you're a dirty rat bastard Trump supporter... You trumpeted! It's beautiful. Well trumpeted meaning you're saying something. Yeah loudly loudly yes correct but still trumpet it it's a Trump thing you know what? I think it's associative. One of my rules of life is the media boomerang theory. If you abuse the media for your own ends, for your own personal gain and you keep doing it long enough... It doesn't even matter how long you do it when you're using a purely for your own personal gain The boomerang comes around eventually and hits you so hard with equal and sometimes more force And this is happening to Bill Gates

CHAPTER 52 / 71 Discussion

Bill and Melinda Gates Divorce, Jeffrey Epstein Connection

New reports from the Wall Street Journal and New York Times suggest that Melinda Gates began seeking divorce attorneys in 2019 following revelations about Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. The hosts discuss the potential fallout for Gates' reputation as a global health leader and his ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

bill gates· melinda gates· jeffrey epstein· wall street journal· divorce· mit

2:24:13 And I am surprised by this. Even you and I were like, it's a divorce or whatever who gives a crap? But now Wall Street Journal New York Times, ABC CBS NBC all on people familiar with the situation. People familiar with Melinda Gates's thinking according to sources holy crap Bill Gates is going down! This morning new details about one of the most expensive divorces in history between Bill and Melinda Gates and what role convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein reportedly played These are two billionaires that were working with a

2:24:53 extensive legal teams over many months. According to the Wall Street Journal, Melinda Gates began meeting with divorce attorneys in 2019 two years before filing for divorce one source of concern according to the report was Bill's dealings with Epstein Melinda Gates's divorce lawyers were having multiple calls right around the time that The New York Times published an October 2019 article detailing the extent of Bill Gates' relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. We do know that this is a source of concern In 2019, the New York Times reported Bill Gates had met with Epstein on numerous occasions beginning in 2011. At least once staying at Epstein's Manhattan townhouse until late into the night. Our understanding from a source is that Melinda Gates was frustrated and unhappy about that meeting when pressed about his relationship with Epstein during a 2019 interview with The Wall Street Journal. Gates said I met him. I didn't have any business relationship or friendship with him

2:25:52 So for this to be happening to Bill Gates in almost tabloid-like fashion from the M5M is very surprising to me, particularly seeing his stature as Mr. Vax, Dr. Bill! Yeah well... Is it really a surprise to you? Because your basic theory is what it is, which is the boomerang theory or your media will do this opposite. Whatever they do to you they're going to do the opposite because this just balances the world. Are you really surprised are you just feigning surprise? No I'm extremely surprised because he's also the primary sales guy for the pharmaceutical industry who run the media so there's a reason for this and I think...

2:26:39 Oh, I know where you're going. Do you? Yeah the pharmaceutical... something's happened where they got fed up with him, the pharma and they just cut it loose on their own In the most despicable of ways Yeah, of course. It's really hearsay! Hey us pharma guys... hey we can show you how it's done. I said this before if you ever see the CEOs a lot of these pharma companies you'd swear they came out as central casting for a Godfather movie Yes they are kind of gangster-y aren't they? Like the CEO Pfizer... Ah yes I'm in Israel and got it all

2:27:27 Yeah, well they're teaching him a lesson. Now what this does evoke is a lot of speculation about Jeffrey Epstein which is I think... Wait wait wait before you go there what did that stop and try to figure out what Bill did to let this happen to him? What did he do the pharma companies? I mean oh he's going at it, he made a fuss about AstraZeneca we documented that Oxford mostly. But what else, but it seems like he's been doing their dirty work? I think there may be a financial crime that is coming out possibly Like just...I'm just telling you what i feel It is also possible That they did not They were unable to handle Melinda's anger over his well-known womanizing philandering etc

2:28:26 And most importantly, and I think this is where it probably is the real issue is MIT. Because MIT Bill Gates Megan Smith Kara Swisher's ex-wife Joy Ito Epstein there's something there and if its very little money its eight million dollars that he donated and we have Gislaine with more accounts of crimes, sex crimes. She's still to appear in court properly she's been she's jailed and I sent you the link did you see Jenny Jardins tweets?

CHAPTER 53 / 71 Discussion

Jeni Neutron, MIT and Epstein Money

Longtime tech reporter Jeni Neutron (formerly Jeni Jardin) has published a series of tweets accusing prominent figures at MIT and Harvard of laundering money for Jeffrey Epstein. The discussion covers the "billionaire dinners" organized by literary agent John Brockman and the social circles where Epstein allegedly recruited influential allies.

jeni neutron· boing boing· mit· john brockman· jeffrey epstein· money laundering

2:29:11 You sent me the links? Yes. Holy crap! Well, let's go over them. Okay so let's first explain who Jenny Jardin is who I know...I've met her she's interviewed me John you've known or probably better than i do and she was a longtime technology reporter always kind of odd I remember she interviewed me like maybe 2006 or 7 something like that in Los Angeles And she's odd, she is very nervous and as she has been going through a 10 year journey battling cancer. She has been talking more and more about just some general things that she hates about journalism...and now she is just gone all out

2:29:57 And here's just an example. And her problem is mainly with MIT and the money, and the Epstein money. Do you want anything more about Jenny Jardin? She was also apparently she was in a sex cult... Well yeah okay she used to run a store called Boing Boing. Yeah Boing Boing there ya go thankyou One of the most popular blogs in history Yes Kind of a news magazine I met her Met her and sat down with her for lunch with of all people John Brockman who's also associated with the Epstein in an awkward way Which she tweets about Brockman specifically Yeah, well Brockman who she knows

2:30:38 And if she tweets negatively about Brockman, she should know better because Brockman really is not a player in this Epstein nonsense. He... Brockman used to put on the... which I never attended because it was... This is exactly what she's tweeting about these dinners! These dinner with that Brockman arranged That's exactly what she's tweeting about Okay So Brockman... Without reading the tweets, I'm going tell you what I know about this part some of the things Because I'm, I actually work for Brockman as a... To get the girls. You're recruiting girls? No. Brockman is a... and you should be sympathetic to Brockman. Brockman is probably the poster boy for Tourette's And that's why have to be sympathetic?! Yeah, you should yeah because it's like this could be you. Brockman is a

2:31:32 A very unusual book agent because the way he works New York publishers is just beyond compare. And he's always selling, somebody described him as he could sell junk science even though a lot of people are big names. People like Dawkins and people like that are his clients and what's-his-name the guy with the Rastafarian hair? Markoff. Lanier, Jared Lanier. Jared, good old Jared And Jenny was one of his clients, I believe. He was in San Francisco and invited me over to have lunch with her and him and then we shot the shit. She's very sweet. She is a sweet person...I think but she is also kind of lefty in funny kinda way. So Brockman for period about three or four years did what he called the billionaire dinner

2:32:27 And what he did, and they were always in Monterey and it was during some event. I was invited to these. And I think it's like four or five of them? And I was invited to the first two never showed up to either one even though I would have gotten to meet all these people at everybody there. Everyone from Richard Branson would be their Gates types of people, anyone that was a billionaire and and a few journalists that were allowed there were his friends would go. I think Markov went to these things. I didn't go because if anyone knows me taking a drive to Monterey California to go to a dinner is not something i'm inclined to do. I don't even like going to the San Francisco, I guess I stay home too much

CHAPTER 54 / 71 Discussion

Silicon Valley Elites, Epstein Guilt by Association

The hosts examine the broader implications of the Epstein scandal for Silicon Valley elites, including Joey Ito and Steven Pinker. They debate whether the current media focus on Bill Gates is a sign that he is being "canceled" by the very establishment he helped build, possibly as part of a larger "Great Reset" of the elite class.

joey ito· steven pinker· alan dershowitz· gislaine maxwell· silicon valley· cancel culture

2:33:17 So I never went to these things, but I knew about him and they would publish all these pictures. And it was just an idea... Epstein got into a couple of these back in New York he did a few of them. Yes! And Epstein got involved and Brockman, I've talked to Brockman about this and he's never been on the plane He has never been at Jeffrey's house because he was on the list of people you could put at these dinners that have photos taken It was just a publicity thing anything evil by any means and I believe Brockman on this side of the story. And I know Brock, but I've known him for 20 or 30 years and he's not that kind of guy who doesn't seem to be that interested in chasing women." Well that's not what she saying at all but it is guilt by all association and these dinners was where indeed where she says Epstein

2:34:07 connected with everybody, mainly the MIT guys and everybody was fawning all over him. And I'll just read a couple quick tweets... Bill Gates! I am to believe one of the world's smartest richest men didn't know what Jeffrey Epstein was doing with all those girls? Girls not women girls they are or were children it's called rape it's rape of kids Bill Gates you own this then we have If your argument for taking Jeffrey Epstein's money is yes, he was a serial child rapist and sex trafficker but I was going to transform the money into something cool that benefited me personally. That's called money laundering this is towards Joey Ito

2:34:48 Yes, Jeffrey Epstein is dead and Ghislaine is in jail but their Russian friends are still alive and well an operating in the United States right now. Everyone who benefited from the system of money laundering Jeffrey Epstein set up with Russia is still defending the system and their ongoing place in it because money because greed because guilt I'm done being patient Joe Ito ICU Eric Lander Steven Pinker George Church John Brockman too many names to list here not a single one canceled these about the dinners It's just it and she's going off and she said this is my final work you know I have nothing, no money, no husband, no house.

2:35:25 I don't, it's very sad but she's exposing something and she's all focused around Epstein's investment in MIT, Epstein's investment in Harvard programs. And any of her, she's bringing in Alan Dershowitz and really implicating all of Silicon Valley old and new Which when you think about it, I mean they're all a bunch of creeps. So who knows what comes out of this maybe Bill back to bill maybe bill is being uh thrown out there too. Is this anything yeah could be

2:36:07 I would say that she's hysterical and not buying it. I'm not buying her general thoughts on this situation, but if this is going to become a problem which it is for all these guys who went to all these billionaire dinners they need a scapegoat And the best scapegoat of the group is Bill right now because he's the one who really hung out with Epstein it seems and it also seems as if you read this crap that I've been reading too, a lot of its very inaccurate but interesting. But at least leads to the same thing when the information about Epstein came out and Bill got his name in the papers associated with Epstein

2:36:50 Melinda at that point, that was the end. According to sources say people familiar with the thinking... I believe it might be true It makes sense there's no reason you can write stories with them That make sense and then make some sense that she's not gonna put up with i mean Bill is a philanderer You said it yourself but it was fine it wasn't like anything that associated With a creep like Epstein and that was the end And I think thats what triggered the whole thing Bill's gonna be... I just had a thought. Cancelled? Maybe the Great Reset is really about cancelling a bunch of these elites Could be, there's definitely a few of them that are going to get cancelled We live in fantastic times

CHAPTER 55 / 71 Discussion

Golden Globes Boycott, Tom Cruise Virtue Signaling

Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globe awards in protest of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's lack of diversity. The hosts view this as an act of virtue signaling, noting that the awards show was already facing a cancellation due to plummeting ratings and a lack of relevance.

golden globes· tom cruise· hfpa· boycott· diversity· virtue signaling

2:37:38 Here's another cancel story. any black members. The situation escalated yesterday as Tom Cruise returned his three Golden Globe Awards, major studios and other actors are also threatening to boycott. No no this is something else this is okay ratings first of all first and foremost no ratings and I think Ricky Gervais touched the third rail and they're still pissed over it and they have shitty ratings cancel those a-holes

2:38:22 I'm not going to disagree with any of that. It's an excuse to cancel because it is closed, there are a small group of people and it's a drinking club in the highest order. And you have to be a member of the press! And so the fact that there's no black journalists in France, or if there are they can find those guys and put them in the club. If they want to join it doesn't mean you have to tell people how they should run their organization at this level especially when it's a foreign press association is ludicrous. So you're right that this is an excuse to get rid of it

2:39:00 And Tom Cruise leading the charge? If I think anyone's nuts. And Tom Cruise with his bogus returning three, oh! Talk about virtue signaling. Oh here's my... you have to take these back. I can't look at them anymore they remind me of how racist i was. I'm Jim Crow 3.0 Now the sad cancellation is well deserved But he's not cancelled off of Spotify. People are now calling him a conspiracy theorist and questioning what has he been eating? What has Van Morrison been doing that turned him into a Republican?!

2:40:37 There you go. Okay, now before we go on with this I didn't know any of any of this but I can mention something We did on the show and there's just a few years ago. I had a Van Morrison clip of some little ditty He did specifically yes Yes, you remember that yeah And it was some anti-media rant Yeah This is called they own the media and the other one was no more lockdowns

2:41:32 He was already walking the edge when he came out with that one. Yeah, so he was So now they've decided to go just Eliminate him from the discussion altogether. How's that work? It sounds like they brought him back into it to me Well, that's how a good noodle gun works. I'll read you the headline here What happened to Van Morrison the fall from eccentric genius to conspiracy theorist No who was it byline who wrote this this is Let's see Ryan H Walsh

Media Critique of Van Morrison Lyrics, Anti-Semitism Claims

The Jerusalem Post and Variety have criticized Van Morrison's song "They Own the Media," suggesting it contains anti-Semitic tropes. The hosts defend the artist, arguing that his lyrics are likely directed at the pharmaceutical and media conglomerates rather than any specific ethnic group.

2:42:20 And this appeared in what? Well, I don't know who the original is. Yahoo News... Let me see if i can find the... Should say it at the beginning of the byline or right after the byline.

2:43:05 Why are you on Facebook and stop bitching? Wow, I'm getting this album. Oh yeah no, I bought it! And stop bitching do something This album is now very much news Variety published a list of the 10 craziest lyrics from the record while the Jerusalem Post rounded up all of the claims of anti-Semitism implied in his song called They Own The Media, so they own the media. I can see that going anti-semitism with that song. Oh it's funny i didn't think about it at all! That was the first thing I thought about. I thought the pharmaceutical industry is what I thought

Internet Addiction, Pandemic Isolation Effects

NBC's Lester Holt reported on a rise in "internet addiction" during the pandemic, featuring interviews with individuals who claim to have fallen down "rabbit holes" of political disinformation. Psychiatrists in the segment describe the dopamine surges associated with social media engagement and suggest that addiction to online content is a growing behavioral health crisis.

2:45:42 Well, so it's just something got on his nerves. Yeah maybe the guy has half a brain yeah you think he'd be yeah no but you know this is such a hit piece on the guy yes too bad man to batty went nut job but of course its only old people who would still listen to him so haha jokes on you Wow yeah I know that's pretty interesting again Great times we live is a great time to be a podcaster. Oh, well let me do this then while we're here there was a Speaking of Facebook Lester Holt did a rather long piece on the nightly news about internet addiction and how that How this became a real thing all of a sudden during the pandemic?

2:46:34 And they had examples, they interviewed people. So there's nothing... so it's not like the internet addiction they talked about 10 years ago? No! No this is new This is because of the pandemic It was never happening before Would you like to hear? Oh I'd love too In our pandemic isolation, the internet became a lifeline. But for others, a life-altering portal to what some describe as a rabbit hole. I think this is to discredit us somehow but not sure yet Scott Zayet says he's been down it I would imagine it's like what any addiction feels like. You think about actually giving it up. Zayats found himself spending more and more time online, in his case feeding an insatiable appetite for politics the election and capital siege particularly drew him in Does it feel like you're just being swept down this tunnel? Yeah yeah they cycle the things that you want to see or they know what you want to read so they feed you more and more of that So I know I feed into it Stop the presses!

2:47:34 click and open that next article. Psychiatrist Dr. Howard Foreman says internet addiction is real Just based on the volume of calls that I am getting, volume of calls that my colleagues are getting It is certainly growing and we're going to see this emerge as one of the major behavioral addictions in United States This is going to be used against you somewhere down the line Oh you have a very sad internet addiction which by the way used to mean Jerking off to porn all day? I guess that went away during the pandemic because everybody was home. Though published research in the US is scarce, overseas studies have noted sharp increases in internet dependence during the pandemic with links to anxiety and depression. I've had to go on blood pressure medicine. Scientifically what is happening when we cross this line on the computer into addiction? We can probably get you drugs for it Every time that you get a like

2:48:35 or a follow, or someone comments on something that you've posted. You get a surge of dopamine in a part of the brain that we call in layman's terms the pleasure center and it gets very addicting once you get more and more of this surge of pleasure. Attempts to stop cold he says generally fail The therapy I always start with is that Start out with a simple do and the simple don't. And the simple do is, do engage in activities that previously were pleasurable to you before the internet took over your life. As for Scott a health care worker online disinformation and lies about COVID are still triggers I know what's happening and yet i still click and open that next article A struggle between the healthy need to know and engage

2:49:33 and the unhealthy fall into that rabbit hole. Oh no, lies about COVID? Yeah lies! Lies...lies about COVID. What's a lie about COVID? This whole show. Can you give an example of what a lie about COVID was? That asymptomatic spread doesn't exist Wear mask outside. That's the lie. It's so sad That was it. Let's get to something a little more... Entertaining? Maybe, so I discovered this guy Professor Hamamoto and I discovered him through Steve Pchenik tweet

CHAPTER 59 / 71 Discussion

Professor Hamamoto, Michael Caine Spook Theory

Professor Hamamoto, a niche YouTube analyst, posits that actor Michael Caine may be an icon or asset for British intelligence. The theory suggests that Caine's prolific career in spy films like Kingsman and the Harry Palmer series serves to provide a friendly public face for MI6 and the global power structures of the City of London.

professor hamamoto· michael caine· mi6· spy movies· intelligence asset· hollywood

2:50:26 Oh, do tell. Because Steve Pachanek was cited in one of Professor Hamamoto's and he's got a very small following on YouTube and I think they take some of his stuff off because there are references to old videos that are not there. And Hamamoto is...and i've listened to about two or three of his...he goes on for an hour to get to the point it's unbelievably tedious to listen to this guy But he's more or less doing spot the spook in every one of these podcasts. And he's really good at it, he spotted a lot of spooks I never thought were spooks... So we even considered it? The way we do it like oh that guy is a spook or he means all politicians are

2:51:14 No, no. He has a lot of writers or spooks and his rationale for him... And the tell for the writers is pretty much the tell I have for certain writers that we see that are always cranking out material while really having two or three full-time jobs. There's no way you can do this. Yes! And a book. And another book. Anthony Bourdain is high on his list for this Anthony Bourdain he claims was a spook. Well, he was an asset He doesn't know which we was hanging out with Obama in Vietnam He was killed after going off against Hillary if you remember his last interview Hillary next thing I always did yeah well the one that really caught my attention because when you look back on it and you take looks at the pictures and You look at his history in the fact that he's done 160 movies

2:52:08 and I only have a one minute clip of this, of what he's accusing it being a spook. But it's like okay, I can kind of buy this one and here we go! There was a 2002 adaptation of The Quiet American not quite as good but Michael Caine is one of the characters. He plays Fowler in this adaptation now return to Michael Caine. He's an interesting character. He's British. She's an actor But he's been in tons and tons of these types of spy movies. So that got me thinking yesterday, I said my gosh Michael Caine must have an in! He must be connected maybe not as intelligence asset but he is their boy, his there guy. He is there icon that all these agencies are putting him there to be the public entertainment face

2:53:01 of MI6 or whatever intelligence organization that you're talking about. And it's a handsome face, it's an attractive face and it's in some face that we think is only there for our entertainment purposes. We don't associate with raw power politics and the subversion takeover sovereign governments all over the world on behalf of the City of London and the bankers right? That's Michael Caine Wow, that's interesting. Hold on a sec. Yeah, I felt the same way spot this food Everybody wants to spot isn't he in Kingsman Kingsmen? He might be yeah, I think he was but he he but the idea is that there that there's certain actors you want to portray face of intelligence yes unlike makes nothing but sense unlike in the United States where we have a

2:53:56 Pansexual, was it millennial with anxiety issues who is the face of the CIA? If you recall. There's that too. The recruiting video yeah Yeah well that I don't think...that recruiting video yeah So he goes on about, and I was thinking about this because I've seen Michael Caine in a couple of talk shows. And it's very interesting because he has done like 1 million movies like he says 160 I think when i looked it up and he was on I think Carson or something years ago, and i just remember this. He says oh I have no interest...I can do his voice but not going to..."I have no interest in doing anything but acting it's fine I get lots of work it's a I've got made I'm never gonna..." Because they asked him why don't you become a director because everybody most people in the business the business they want

2:54:52 You know, they want to do something. They want to produce they want a direct they want it would be more involved No, no he's got now He's good to go right and I always thought that was peculiar because I've never heard anybody I don't want I don't want to do any other stuff. I'm good. I'm good Huh? Well never let's look at some of these spook movies That's actually quite interesting. I'll just work in reverse order Kingsman the Secret Service The, oh of course Austin Powers. All hilarious but still spook movies. Yep. What else was... He did a series of movies where he played Harry Palmer there is three movies and they're all spy movies. Interesting. And he played the head spook kind of a smiley like character. Yeah that makes sense it make total sense

CHAPTER 60 / 71 Discussion

Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, Russian Asset Claims

The hosts discuss claims made by Jeni Neutron that journalists Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi are Russian operatives. They contrast this with the theory that Greenwald's access to mainstream outlets like The New York Times during the Snowden leaks suggests he is more likely to be influenced by Western intelligence agencies.

glenn greenwald· matt taibbi· russia· edward snowden· cia· substack

2:55:47 You know who Jenny Jardin said is a spy for Russia or an operative for Russia? Are you ready for it? No. Yeah Glenn Greenwald Glenn Greenwald's been accused of this before He's talked about one of his many long-winded podcasts that he's a spy for Russia. Yeah, and along with Matt Taibbi also have spy for Russia well met Matt Taibbi and Glenn are seem to be co-writers all in some odd way it's substack Matt Taibbi was in Russia for a long time with Mark Ames yes learning doing as earning Russia then you learned Russian he did the whole thing and I seen

2:56:33 Pretty much no evidence that of either one of them actually being a I mean since we do play spot the spook at some level In every way, we can and I just don't see it. Well, you know, I don't see from their action I see for me to say their writings a little subversive but now I think she well she Her claim is that this Epstein stuff is all a huge Russian money laundering scheme. A lot of people were in on it and that Snowden, who of course is in Russia and you'll recall the Glenn Greenwald shot to fame

2:57:12 more famous than he was when he was the one exclusively, well really filtering to the mainstream media. If you recall it wasn't just on Glenn Greenwald's blog He was taking information from Snowden and then giving it to The New York Times and The Guardian to go through and publish what they thought was appropriate You know so I can see where she is coming from because I certainly also thought that's interesting you got this scoop Well, I mean it would seem more likely because the New York Times is so spooky. to begin with. I mean it's just crawling with the CIA influence, if not assets or not people just getting paid off or somebody like Kara Swisher begging to be recruited to the CIA she says at The New York Times i mean so it's just ridiculous borderline crazy you know that if that Greenwald is getting into The New York Times through the CIA

2:58:10 He's more likely to be a CIA guy than he is a Russian guy. Oh, yeah I'm just saying that that's just out there Regarding the CIA...I did look into The new women running the CIA Still don't know where Gina Haspel is but the new women are running this... You've been saying this and I've been saying no she's fine She's somewhere around here and I have no evidence of it. She could be dead. She could be dead if they get shot in Frankfurt I think we should call this the CIA used to be Catholics in action. I think we can now just say Coven in action And I'm not really kidding it's a coven there man Coven yeah, like a coven Yeah, coven did I say coven? I said you said you cove it meant covered and head covered I Blew the joke okay. Well I blew the juke the joke

CHAPTER 61 / 71 Discussion

Sir Robert Deccanay, Al Gore Greenland Jingle

Sir Robert Deccanay completes his requirements for a No Agenda patent of nobility and requests a jingle featuring Al Gore. The resulting clip features Gore warning that the melting of Greenland will require the world's maps to be redrawn, which the hosts mock by noting the lack of sea-level rise in the San Francisco Bay.

2:59:08 You blew what? Yeah, exactly. Leave me alone Dvorak! I'm gonna show my smould by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah that'd be fab I blew the Jew! I don't know why i said it Truth wants to come out Time time to get out of that segment Well, I'll tell you somebody doesn't care what you say or who your blowing is Bobby Newby. And he's not, it is kind of a newbie. He's from Hendersonville Tennessee and he came with $188.64. He's got a big, he's gonna be a knight so I guess you can read this note. Oh yeah i'm still setting everything up but i'm happy to do it uh please accept my contribution of 188.64 which completes the titular requirements for no agenda patents of nobility

3:00:04 I was hit in the mouth by John's frequent appearances on a Bay Area technology netcast, which has since pivoted to being a co-ed knockoff of The View for also rants about their least testless and Donald Trump. But I digress! It has been a long and rewarding journey with no agenda and one i've been joined with over the last few years but my gorgeous blue eyed wife Friday is our fifth anniversary and as one of my gifts to her I would like to grant her my upgrade to Dame status. Aww! With a title to be selected by her at time of her choosing." Well that means does she... so she doesn't get, I guess we don't Dame her today if it has to be? I guess not but this is in blue so must be on the list. Well I'll read on and check in a moment

3:00:52 As for the ceremony, I believe the dame will be having chicken street tacos and margaritas on the rocks. Okay? So we are doing that today as for jingle requests... Here's what i think she's gonna be damed today but then she'll make it give herself some title later Okay, so just be your name I guess today. Okay that makes sense yeah We do that as for jingle requests So I'd like to request a Fletcher Putin and a dealers request from Al Gore to remind us of how only Republicans would sink to contesting an election Does he mean we have something? We don't have... no, no. Do we have this what? No! We got nothing now this is not a jingle. But I did select an Al Gore jingle which i think just as funny. Because of what's happening in Greenland right now the maps of the world will have to be redrawn This is what would happen San Francisco Bay

Thank you Yes, I agree I mean it's it's hurt It was hurt actually I just got physically kind of um the emotional stress of hearing that hurt me yeah Okay, no that's out Again

3:16:44 Yeah, it's not really super funny. It makes it sound like there was a waste of time to show so that's out what? Really I kind of like it no reclaiming my time again for the for that very reason I think it should be in okay then I can say don't I Clipped it for a reason okay good So be it okay we can use that I shall make it so so Elizabeth writes in from Laguna Hills. I had, and she's an artist and she did one of the arts things that we won't get to see very good one too, Art House Eclipse. I haven't been able to set up an account again to the Noah General because i'm going to send her name

3:17:26 Paul and have see what the problem is because he's not the only one complaining we had the same thing with right with the famous artists that couldn't get on and Comma strip blogger had to carry him into them into the onto the pages But she does say this I love this show. I think I'm addicted. I can't wait for each episode Can't wait My husband donated to show 1333. He was a man of few words, he hit me in the mouth after getting hit in the mouth by his brother! Please don't ever find an exit strategy no agenda is essential In this crazy world we live and love and lit Elizabeth Vernick in Laguna Hills So that's one issue The other one is I have not been able to upload an image

3:18:11 onto the no agenda social for over a week. And other people have bitched about this. Oh, I just saw those bitches this morning so it's being worked on that is... That's because number of reasons but there's so much disk space that goes into running this instance even with 10,000 people how it typically works as we prune stuff that's older than X amount of time So that has to now be initiated and apologies. You, in particular probably could have contacted me earlier if it's been going on for a week I was really unaware i only saw something today about so we'll fix there is enough people complaining at that you would've picked up and I know as your responsibility to fix the image engine well its okay I'm just saying

3:19:08 So this, I will say this probably some of the greatest possible tweets toots as they call them ever ever in the history of that whole system have been lost now at a time. So I apologize in advance for all the great things I didn't get to do Because you had them all at the ready and they just didn't upload. Is that what you're saying? Yeah, pretty much yeah I'm so sorry. I feel super bad about it. I'll ask Aaroner and i'm sure he's aware now And we do have a system account that you can toot Just missed it. I'd rather embarrass on the air Well thanks. I think of this content

Alan Jones on Joe Biden, Cognitive Decline Supercut

Australian commentator Alan Jones delivers a scathing critique of President Joe Biden's public speaking and cognitive state, labeling his leadership "elder abuse." A supercut of Biden's verbal stumbles is played to illustrate the concerns shared by international observers regarding the stability of the U.S. presidency.

alan jones· sky news australia· joe biden· cognitive decline· vladimir putin· elder abuse

3:19:53 Anything else? Do you have anything nice to say? No, I'm good. I have a series of clips that i want to play...I have four clips that I wanna play before the show ends. Good! Now I could either play the one kind of funny clip which is Alan Jones up there at Sky News in Australia bitching about Biden being a senile and the fact that he's the head of the free world, we should all be embarrassed. And I get a kick out of the fact that only in Australia and outside the country do we have anyone complaining about Biden everyone here is great except for us! We complain about him but only us yeah

3:20:40 So we can start with that and then I want to go, I want to get the Palestinian thing out of the way because there's a... We're on the border of World War III with what's going on in Israel and Palestine. You still want the Biden thing? Personally i find uh the Alan Jones stuff very boring because I know what he's gonna say! I do too but I love him. I love him. I don't find it boring at all And you mean to say this bloke Biden isn't cognitively delinquent Have a listen to this, the President of the United States of America. We have to do more than just build back better. To build back we have to build back better with regard to Russia I know it concerns some people Okay i like it But I made very clear to Putin that were not going to seek escalation Putting Biden in this position of leading the world's democracies is elder abuse

3:21:32 His incoherence is not new, but it surely can't go on. There will have to be a presidential resignation shortly Listen to this from only a couple of weeks ago The only way to spare more pain and more loss the only way these millstones no longer mark our national mourning These milestones I should say No longer mark our national mourning God help me And then...this I have never been particularly poor at calculating how to get things done in the United States Senate. So, the best way to get something done if you hold near and dear that you like to be able... anyway. This is the leader of the free world

3:22:24 How can we believe any self-respecting world leader will take this bloke seriously? Can you imagine what it's like talking to him live. One wag had it right with a meme that was posted on social media that says at all, hey sleepy Joe I think it'd be less confusing if you just turn the teleprompter around and let us read for ourselves Look its easy to laugh This is very very serious Here we go Okay! I take it all back...I didn't know he had supercuts That was a nicely produced piece. It was a great piece! So, okay now we got this war and let's... This is CBS commenting on it and this is actually another the morning zoo on CBS Good Morning with Gail

3:23:11 Produce this and it's kind of done by the news room, but they like running in in the morning And this is a three-parter and these people should be paying attention to and its important We're going to begin with very serious news and it's in the Middle East with the worst fighting between Israel and Palestinians In nearly seven years Stop the clip stop I want people to pay very close attention to all the sound effects they use in this report. It goes... The second clip, by the way is even better it's loaded to the gills with production okay continue

3:23:54 Listen and look at those pictures. You're looking at Israeli missiles exploding in Gaza overnight, just one of the many attacks since this latest confrontation flared up. Palestinian militants have fired hundreds of rockets at Israel about 50 people have been killed on both sides including some children. Elizabeth Palmer is following all this. Elizabeth what led to the violence to begin with? Good morning to you Good morning. Well, this round of violence actually started weeks ago with an Israeli court order to evict some Palestinian families from their homes in East Jerusalem but it really caught fire over the weekend just gone by when Israeli police clashed with Palestinian protesters around the very holy Al Aqsa Mosque now of course it's morphed into open war

3:24:46 Yes, I've been following and I have info from sources. I'm curious about your whole presentation Just go to part two now of course it's morphed into open war Overnight Israeli airstrikes pound in Gaza again the target says the Israeli military are Hamas and Islamic jihad leaders and their installations The material damage is immense. And for humans in this overcrowded enclave, there is no safe place

3:25:21 Nine-year old Yazan Zahara happened to be in the street when a missile exploded with shrapnel. The Palestinian Health Authority says 48 people have died this week, including 14 children and hundreds are wounded and traumatized. The counterattack on Israel by Hamas and Islamic Jihad has been relentless too Yesterday evening a rocket barrage lit up the skies over Tel Aviv while on the ground sirens wailed and people ran for cover. Israel's military says more than 1,000 rockets have been fired from Gaza six Israelis including a child have been killed since Monday

3:26:05 The casualties and the damage would have been greater, but for Israeli interceptor rockets. The so-called Iron Dome which blew most of the incoming missiles to pieces But this is not just an air war there's been violence on the ground too Last night in Ramallah on the West Bank Israel's military fired tear gas to chase away hundreds of young men who like most Palestinians have had enough of the Israeli occupation And there is no end in sight. Israeli's defense minister this morning said that more attacks were coming on armed Palestinian groups to bring what he called total long-term quiet Tony? Yeah, no end in sight Liz Palmer and London or we should recall that this is going on in Gaza which is the size of Philadelphia you know country that's barely bigger than Vermont Why why do they have Liz Palmer reporting from London don't I have anybody like in the sand

CHAPTER 69 / 71 Discussion

Tony Dokoupil, Bibi Netanyahu Power Struggle

CBS anchor Tony Dokoupil shares a personal account of his children in Tel Aviv seeking shelter during rocket attacks. The hosts analyze the political dimension of the conflict, suggesting that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may be using the military escalation to prevent his rivals, like Yair Lapid, from forming a new coalition government.

3:27:05 Well, not only that but if you listen to this final clip which is they bring it kind of home because there's one reporter that's on the show I don't even know his name. Only seen him recently relates because he's his kids over there or something like that and we get no insight whatsoever. And the end result is that each night families and children are going to bed afraid, terrified including... But Tony that made me think about you last night. Including my own! Your two children. Some people might know I have 2 older kids who live with their mother in Tel Aviv they spent the night in a air raid shelter in a shelter. My daughter was in tears, and I'm also acutely aware of the fact that over in Gaza there are children going to bed in a pile of rubble not getting up. And so you have a situation where for decades now leaders on both sides seem to be finding the war instead of finding the peace and until that dynamic changes

3:28:00 our children, my children are going to be fighting and dying. Do you feel they're safe? Because how old are your two older children? Almost 12 and 9. Yeah so they're very well aware of what is happening. They're very well aware! And when I say our children will be fighting and dying...I mean my twelve-year-old will go into the military in six years and everybody is sucked into that conflict in that region until there's a push or restart for peace. When we have 2 people for one country it has got to be 2 countries It's the only way to do it. And I feel for you, doing this job worrying about your kids, new baby on the way... Oh yeah thank you for your courage! You are such a brave journalist

3:28:40 You should let it play longer because they talk about how this wasn't going on during the Trump era. That's the whole thing? Oh, I see what you're doing... Oh you played the whole thing? They didn't talk about how none of this happened during Trump. He got me on that! Now, I'm sure this is meant to ruin the Jacob Accords or whatever it's called. The Jericho. Who knows? It's designed to ruin something. I have three pieces of insight on this one From Brian of London I can name him He's in. I think he's in Tel Aviv. I don't he's in Tel Aviv Jerusalem So he was in and out of the bomb shelter with his family And his whole thing is like come on

3:29:19 So he's yelling at him. Then we have Agent Orange who says, okay look they've got special forces on the ground he showed the tanks are rolling in, the rockets Hamas admitting that they came from Iran. He says this is heavier than it looks which I'm inclined to believe when he say when he says that but then the third is someone who works at a software company I know quite well and he says, no no this is house of cards shit. He said to what do you mean? Says oh This is for BB to maintain power or at least it started by him doing this to maintain power after he couldn't form a coalition in the most recent elections was just a couple weeks ago and the mandate was given to Yair Lapid

3:30:11 And Lapid, of course to do anything needs Arab support so if there's a conflict then the Arabs won't support the government so it kind of stays in limbo. So that and this seems to be some mainstream thinking in Israel that this is again Bibi Netanyahu doing things to maintain power through military might because he doesn't really have it politically. So take your pick Well, I'm gonna discount the ancient orange one if i'm not mistaken. He's the one who got you to believe completely hook line and sinker that Trump was getting in his stay-in office and they were going to find these micro coded ballots And all this is gonna...and that was him So he's done as far as I'm concerned As an analyst The last guy I like

CHAPTER 70 / 71 Discussion

Chinese Rocket Re-entry, NASA vs. CNSA Calculations

The Chinese Long March 5B rocket re-entered the atmosphere, with debris landing in the Indian Ocean near the Maldives. The hosts note the discrepancy between Chinese and NASA calculations regarding the re-entry point, jokingly suggesting the debris fell into a "stargate" in the Gulf of Aden.

3:30:57 I think that makes some sense because Netanyahu is just a nutty guy. That's why he saved the best for last! Or it could be just the opposite of that, as a way to get Netanyahu out cause he still kind of seen as Trump Well this can be turned at any moment, anything can happen But this is not good. But I will correct that report, it's the US... we created the Iron Dome not the Israeli Iron Dome! Hello? USA foam finger number one thats our technology lady! No but I believe its Raytheon Yes thats our stuff invented to stop the Scuds Alright, then I have one last 22 second clip just to make sure we cover it. The world has been anxiously watching and waiting for this moment and overnight it happened that Chinese rocket the Long March 5B as its called finally came crashing back down to earth now the Chinese Space Agency says it happened around 1024 last night the debris re-entered the atmosphere over the Maldives landing in the Indian Ocean but the US Space Agency says their calculations say it happened over the Arabian Peninsula

3:32:02 Aha! So NASA says it came down over the Arabian Peninsula. You know what we have there, don't you? Gulf of Aden... Oh where the Stargate is?! Yes sir this it went right into the star gate And you know what comes out of that star gate? What? Fish The best scripted bit you'll ever hear on this show Where do you think all the fish come from anyway? From the Star Gate Coming up next on noagendastream.com, DH Unplugged! The most recent episode titled Duhflation Jesse Coy Nelson, Audio Ghost and Danny Luce all set up with end of show mixes and very appreciative of that

3:33:48 Representative Liz Cheney of the Republican Party has been removed from her leadership post. Screw you! You're fired! Liz Cheney has been one of the most vocal defenders of the policies of her father. 3.2 million tons of trash. Dick Cheney It's not about them, it's about us. Well, you get immune to the smell. You don't smell garbage, you smell money. Liz Cheney has drawn closer to the neoconservatives she and Bill Kristol have founded Keep America Safe an organization that continually advises to scare the American people into believing Osama Bin Laden is hiding under their bed If people have gotta remember that Afghanistan is a place from which the terrorists

3:34:28 planned and plotted and trained, and attacked us on 9-11. Senator what do you think of that? I think the Cheneys are unrepentant warmongers they still won't admit that the Iraq war was a mistake The Chinese have been wrong about everything America needs to quit listening to them They need to fade into obscurity We've got sufficient number troops on the ground to prevent safe havens Screw You! We had the conference meeting. I am absolutely committed, as I said last night and as I said just now to my colleagues. We were talking about Republicans voting Liz Cheney out of her leadership chair.

3:35:16 I think stands for this sort of neocon war hawks whose history is very well known. The cyber attack on US pipelines has triggered a gas shortage, kind of. Get out of my vagina! Are you ready for your vaccine? It's a societal responsibility. It'll save us all, listen to me! Very frustrating. Cause I'm a vax man Yeah, I'm the vax man That's really not the right attitude This little jab won't hurt at all

3:36:57 They put together complete nonsense. You know, I consider the country as my children. Clearly that they fudge their numbers, but to get back to my story, fudge everything you need viral drugs. I became more and more angry about my gag order. So i had been given a gag order. I do an experiment we don't know what the answer is. And of course my questions have no answers being given a gag order from the CDC.

3:37:44 So after receiving no response to fraud, the thing you need to treat and help people. And why hasn't the federal government put a national lockdown in place? Basically being gagged and pretty much everything you need about my gag or whatever they say, Karnataka are actually viral dryers They knew that fat-faking, weeping shit was everything you need. I'm buzzed but to get back to my story um i sent a did not increase the risk for autism. My time's very limited here. That's a huge story clearly that day people locked up in their place. I'm buzzed but to get back to my story um i sent an email to your drugs story um i became more and more angry about my gag order. A huge story
