About this episode

Xi Jinping signaled a preference for the peaceful reunification of Taiwan this week, even as Chinese military drills intensified in the South China Sea. The Biden administration responded with claims of a standing Taiwan Agreement, though the specific text of such a deal remains undisclosed to the public. Meanwhile, the CIA announced a new China Mission Center to centralize intelligence gathering against Beijing for the first time since the Cold War.

Energy markets are reeling as China releases Australian coal from bonded storage to mitigate a domestic power crunch that threatens global supply chains for Apple and Tesla. In the United States, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed concerns that corporate tax hikes lead to consumer inflation, while Bureau of Labor Statistics data showed the economy added 300,000 fewer jobs than forecasted. Project Veritas released internal Pfizer emails from Senior Director Vanessa Gelman discussing the sensitive use of fetal cell lines in vaccine development, leading to the termination of a whistleblower at the McPherson plant.

Marketing expert Seth Godin launched The Carbon Almanac to document the climate emergency, while Google and YouTube began demonetizing content that denies human-driven global warming. Vice President Kamala Harris faced scrutiny for a scripted NASA event with middle schoolers, and the 14th anniversary of the No Agenda Show arrived with a celebration of the Value for Value model. The episode features a detailed breakdown of the International Rescue Committee board, including connections between David Miliband and Henry Kissinger.

Let's Go Brandon Phrase Gains Mainstream Momentum

The political phrase "Let's Go Brandon" has gained significant cultural traction, appearing on Fox News and among various age demographics. The term originated as a euphemism for a profane chant against President Joe Biden and is being utilized as a form of non-vulgar protest. Its rapid spread into the mainstream is noted as a unique moment of political humor.

Alex Jones and COVID Land Documentary Release

Alex Jones and InfoWars have released the first part of a five-part documentary series titled "COVID Land," specifically focusing on "The Lockdown." The film serves as an anthology of footage from the past 24 months, including early scenes from China and media coverage of hospital capacities. The production style is compared to earlier long-form InfoWars narrations found on Google Video.

alex jones· infowars· covid land· documentary· lockdown

02:48 Did you see this COVID land part one documentary? No, I did not. Where was it? Oh this is a classic classic info wars Alex Jones, this is what he used to do a lot of when before you're right. They used to do a lot more of these Yeah It would be four five hour videos and it was before YouTube it was on Google video Do we remember that? Video dot google.com yeah Google video where you could upload stuff as for YouTube and who do these long videos and I'll beat no basically narration and whatever

03:24 video we could find. It was always grainy, crappy quality and so now what they've done is they've done an anthology or a timeline I would say and it's going to be in five parts the first part is out which is called The Lockdown And they show because this is only 24 months of footage everything's available Shoot! Go look at... In fact I know that Rob Due producer Sir Doocifer that he often gets stuff off of our show notes, bingit.io is where you can search for it It is a festival of recognition for NOAA gender producers! It starts with the Chinese falling down face-down in the streets welding people in...the whole thing The news just going on about how the hospitals are overwhelmed and they did great job showing the crickets nothing, the TikTok dances

04:19 You watch this as a no agenda producer. You're like, oh Played it got that clip did that one remember this one? Oh yeah we deconstructed that it's insane you're bowled over Yeah I'm sure it's gonna be great eight cars Eight cars ladies and gentlemen This is the Zephyr its rolling through alert the boys and girls at CNBC squawk box We have a standard economy Bitcoin fifty five thousand two hundred and forty nine Oh my god By the way, I found a UK foamer. Ooh yeah Yeah, here's a you this is the full 20 seconds And then we'll and then we'll play the the foamer bit at this wonderfully quaint station in Somerset called Freshford We're about to see some GWR services blast on through Hello

CHAPTER 03 / 55 Discussion

Freshford Station Train Spotting and UK Foamers

A video from Freshford station in Somerset features a passionate train enthusiast, or "foamer," reacting to GWR services. The discussion centers on the authenticity of the enthusiast's excitement compared to other viral train-spotting videos. Observations are also made regarding the length and composition of recent Amtrak Zephyr trains.

05:23 It's your colleague John here's a shorter version. Yeah, I call bullshit. What do you mean you call bullshit? What do you mean this-I saw that! I took this from the video myself what are you talking about?! He's just doing the same thing the other guy did he was making fun of some genuine foamers No, this guy is for real Ah, come on. Wow! Did that laugh? Come on... Yes he was hysterical He was hysterical he was jitty Real deal I can't believe it Do we need to have certified foamers? Do you have foamer license dot com? Alright everybody go register I'm not gonna do it Foamer, foamer, foamer

06:15 There was a nine car Zephyr the other day and I was kind of surprised. The last car on the thing with some sort of a screwball, it wasn't like a rental. It was just that part of the real train but it was like a club car at the very end is very different. I think things are looking up? No, I don't think so we got a lot of supply chain problems Yeah well that means things are looking up there which means more money Well, you know they're bringing in the climate change which I think is bringing a supply change if you will. China is in real trouble with their coal issue

CHAPTER 04 / 55 Discussion

China Coal Shortage and Australian Import Ban

China has begun releasing Australian coal from bonded storage to combat a severe power crunch, despite a year-long unofficial import ban. Analysts from Nomura suggest the power curbs will impact global markets for textiles, toys, and machine parts. While China has resumed some purchases, the energy shortage continues to affect multinational companies like Apple and Tesla.

china· coal· australia· energy crisis· supply chain

07:09 Well, they brought that one on themselves. Yes they did and they're trying to fix it." But the power crunch has gotten so bad that China is releasing Australian coal from bonded storage despite a nearly year-long unofficial import ban on the fuel That's a million metric tons of Australian coal that had been sitting in Chinese ports for a year. That sounds like a lot, but it is only the equivalent of one day's worth of China's coal imports. So unless they're going to start importing more Australian coal, the Chinese regime is still in trouble. But even if China is able to ease the coal shortage over the next few months, it's already having a tremendous effect on the global economy—

07:55 According to Nomura, basically the Japanese Goldman Sachs, the power curbs will ripple through and impact global markets. Very soon the global markets will feel a pinch of shortage supply from textiles toys to machine parts Already it's affecting Western companies operating in factories in China like Apple and Tesla And this is affecting a lot smaller Chinese companies too Many have already had curb or stop production while they may be overlooked by major foreign investors that don't cover these firms. The end result could be a shortage of everything from textiles to electronics components that could snarl supply chains and eat into the profits of a host of multinational companies." And, and what are... By the way in our last show we already played the clips where they released it. That's what he just said!

08:48 No, he says unless they get more Australian coal. They release their bonded coal which they have. Oh no yeah that's just a bunch of coal in storage. That's what they had but the coal Embargo has been killed and we played the clip on the last show so I don't know how old this clip is but it's got to be a week old. I think you're missing what he's saying because in context that watched the whole report, I think it's the embargo...I don't know if they're actually shipping it Doesn't seem like that's all all clear. All right, all that I could find is that they've released their bonded and Trap stuff. That's only one day's worth of coal. That's exactly right and in India AP reports they have maybe Three probably less than three days of stock in many Many of the plants there and our dude named Ben protector of megawatts

09:43 He explained exactly this, because he was listening to us talk about the China coal issue. So here's an idea how much a coal power plant can burn Oak Grove in Franklin Texas burns 680 tons an hour per unit for two units that coal is delivered from the mine just-in-time delivery remember we have that issue too so they have about 10 days storage on site and thats alot of coal! That's a lot of coal It's crazy. Here, play this clip China coal needs one from the last show Oh from the last show? Yeah Hold on a second... Okay... China has recently resumed purchases of Australian coal Okay is that your whole point? Yeah! Ok you got it fine I still think that that's not enough and they have problems And what we're seeing now is the shipping rates are actually going down

CHAPTER 05 / 55 Discussion

Natural Gas Shortages and Climate Change Narratives

Tight natural gas supplies from Russia and high demand in Latin America have created energy challenges for the European Union. There is a claim that these shortages are being leveraged to promote climate change agendas and a transition away from fossil fuels. Discrepancies in supply chain issues are noted, with some regions experiencing empty shelves while others remain fully stocked.

natural gas· russia· european union· fossil fuels· climate change

10:47 Because there's no demand for them from the Chinese production side. I think this is more serious than just releasing or getting new imports from Australia, there's more going on it really is We're seeing this also Natural gas shortages now for See tight supplies from Russia strong demand in China and Latin America Which has brought problems to the European Union, and I'm not saying that there are actual problems. I think that they're doing this on purpose to get the whole damn climate change thing spun up to get that flywheel Whipping around so we go oh we're running out of the fossil fuel We don't have enough wind but where we're running out of natural gas. We don't have enough solar Okay

11:44 You don't think so? I don't think so in the way that you're expressing it. They like the idea of increasing prices due to lack of supply, and if its just an economic trick... It's like all the backed up containers. Yeah there are backed-up containers mostly in LA we don't have them here. I watched 130 car train go by twice a day which is bigger than ever It used to be 120, now of course I'm an idiot to be counting these but now it's 130. And uh...I just don't see it at- Now again, now I will kind of temper that by what my wife tells me she is up in Port Angeles and she's bitching at me because Costco is half empty. You mean of supplies? Yeah.

CHAPTER 06 / 55 Discussion

Xi Jinping and Taiwan Peaceful Reunification Rhetoric

Chinese leader Xi Jinping expressed a preference for the "peaceful reunification" of Taiwan despite recent military drills involving fighter jets near the island. Bonnie Glaser of the German Marshall Fund provides analysis on NPR regarding the escalating tensions and the South China Sea conflict. The United States continues to support Taiwan's democracy while navigating the risk of a catastrophic military escalation.

xi jinping· taiwan· china· npr· bonnie glaser

12:42 And it's been that way for about three or four months and she comes down here, and there's everything is fine. We got all the Costco, everything is full." And so she thinks I have a skewed view of things. So take that. You can take that too. Now I do have a series of clips about China-Taiwan because today is 1010 day and I thought we'd at least discuss that. Sure go ahead! Do something you like. Well thank you China-Taiwan one. NPR. Today, Chinese leader Xi Jinping said he prefers that China take control of neighboring Taiwan through peaceful methods rather than military means even as Chinese fighter jets have been conducting military drills in the airspace around Taiwan this has been deeply worrying to Taiwan a self ruled island that shares a maritime border with China

13:30 But it is also the latest flashpoint between two world superpowers, with the United States supporting Taiwan and pushing back against what it sees as aggressive and destabilizing actions from China. We thought this would be a good time to get some insight on the dynamic between the U.S. and China so we called Bonnie Glaser. She's the director of the Asia Program at the German Marshall Fund which is a non-partisan policy organization. Bonnie Glaser thank you for joining us. Thanks for having me! People have been hearing about the conflict between the US and China for some years now, but it seems to have escalated in recent years. So first I just wanted to ask if you would take a step back and help us understand the main sources of tension? OK, couple things NPR is obviously pro-China And don't we share maritime border with China? I was going to say what is this sharing of maritime border that's a lot of countries

14:27 It's everybody that has a border on an ocean. Yeah, that was weird. That was done on purpose I believe it was done to make it sound as though they butted up against China This is a very, very kind of a sickening report and the whole thing all these clips. But let's listen to what Bonnie has to say part two. China's power has been rising and its military capabilities are growing it's economy it's growing And it's actually narrowing the gap with the United States which of course has been the sole superpower since the collapse of the Soviet Union

15:04 And China, not surprisingly wants to defend its own interests as it has more capabilities. And it has been acting more assertively abroad and pursuing policies at home that are also intended to enable China to dominate in the 21st century critical technologies And Xi Jinping has been ruling in a much more authoritarian way than previous Chinese leaders. So there's been a lot more friction between the US and China, and basically what they're trying to do now is to establish a new equilibrium between the two countries as this power balance gets closer. Mm-hmm. Okay. Power equilibrium? Yeah. What does that mean? Equity?

15:55 Yeah, that's a good one. That's what it means. China-Taiwan 3 let's see where the continues today So in recent years the Chinese government as you just mentioned has invested heavily in their military and one area we see this especially is in the South China Sea Can you give us some background on the conflict there? Like why there and why now Well, the South China Sea has been an area that's been disputed for many years. There are six different claimants and the Chinese have been building these outposts which they really turned into military bases

16:32 operating these very, very large coast guard ships and intimidating the other countries not enabling them to develop the resources that are really rightfully theirs under the Convention on the Law of the Sea. So this includes fish it includes energy and they've also been using these military bases to signal that they might have some claims that go beyond legal maritime claims. And the United States and other Western countries are concerned that they will block freedom of navigation in the region, so we've seen the naval assets not just at the U.S., but also

17:11 Japan, Australia France and other countries that have been conducting exercising in the South China Sea just to demonstrate that these waters should remain open for everyone. Who is this woman from Dr. Sufland? Isn't that the worst? Who is she again, tell me who is this woman? She's a woman from the Marshall Fund who's an expert on China and she talks like that way you just did. And she's insufferable like everybody else on this network. Does she really go into Japan at all? Who have the largest problem with these islands in the South Japan Sea

17:50 If you haven't noticed, this report is about Taiwan. I know! There's nothing in there really All of a sudden we're talking about the South China Sea and all these different people squabbling What about Taiwan? Is he going to get back to the topic? I don't know! I can't wait! So i don't want to diminish the experience for Taiwan but just keeping our focus on the dynamic between the US and China. A record number of Chinese fighters have been performing military drills close to Taiwan in recent days, so how does the island play into the larger conflict between the U.S. and China? Well, Taiwan is really the one issue that the US and China could really go to war over. And let's remember that both China in the U S have nuclear weapons so if that escalated this would be truly catastrophic. China of course sees that Taiwan is basically a province of China and so...

18:46 I think many worry might give up on peaceful unification and eventually use force against Taiwan. So these flights are really intended to warn Taiwan not to go too far, to pursue independence. They're also aimed at inducing a sense of psychological despair among the people so they will essentially give up and agree to be part of China. Why does the United States back Taiwan in this conflict? Good question. The United States has a long history of relations with Taiwan and also Taiwan is democracy, a vibrant democracy and the United States shouldn't take a position and doesn't on whether Taiwan is a sovereign state whether it should eventually join China ultimately that's up to the people on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait those in China and in Taiwan but we have a deep and abiding interest in ensuring that they settle those differences peacefully

CHAPTER 07 / 55 Discussion

Republic of China Historical Recognition and UN Status

The historical status of the Republic of China (ROC) and its lack of formal United Nations recognition since 1949 is examined. Questions are raised regarding why various U.S. administrations, from Truman to Nixon, did not secure a different diplomatic standing for the island of Formosa. The military history of the Kuomintang and their retreat to Taiwan is also highlighted.

republic of china· taiwan· united nations· kuomintang· formosa

19:41 problem with think tanks and NPR or any kind of M5M? Oh, well the think tanks that's where the experts are. The specialists and of course these people are paid to come up with these reports that skew one way or the other it's insulting to the listener particularly this woman's tone but also did they touch at all on on the speeches from President Tsai No, of course not. Who says in International Day speech is we're not going to back down? Is it Beijing must respect their country's sovereignty? They will well this is a pathetic situation because with that I don't understand how the Republic of China To be honest about it wasn't recognized immediately once they once they formed when the Chinese took over China You mean the Republic Taiwan you mean? No It's called The Republic Of China ROC Oh yes okay

20:41 The other one's the PRC. So I'm surprised that the Republic of China wasn't recognized in the late 40s when they ran off the mainland and moved to Formosa, which is what that island was and formed a country there and it should have been recognized by the United Nations immediately! What happened? What happened?! Why didn't that happen? World War II No, at the end of the 40s is the end... World War II ended in 46. Oh you said 40 so I didn't know if it began or ended. No, 40's. I meant four D's plural but the end of the forties which would be 49 let's say 50 1950 why didn't Eisenhower why didn't Truman why didn't Eisenhower why didn't Kennedy why didn't Nixon? Why did nothing happen all these years

21:32 I think if Trump was re-elected, he may have do something like that because he did move the capital. Well why we can't ask the dead guys? Why do you think that is why do you think that didn't happen You tell me no idea it makes no sense They couldn't have been afraid of China because they were weak in fact when I visit when you visit China If you visit the area like in Xiamen Which is a right on the coast There are armaments, I was taken around. There are armaments all along the coast that the Chinese put up to protect themselves from the Kuomintang re-invading China from Formosa is right across the eye is right you can actually see Taiwan from this part of the country and so they were in a weak position

22:20 And I don't know, I have no idea why this never happened. It should happen in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s? Anyway did you put is that was that last clip? I think there's one more No, that's...I think that's all there is Is there five? Well maybe there are five Hold on a second I was just going to say that here's what Xi Jinping said on the 110th anniversary of the revolution He's called for peaceful reunification with Taiwan after they sent 56 bombers to fly around.

22:56 Let's have peace! This week the CIA announced that it would create a new China Mission Center, which CIA Director William J. Burns said quote will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century and increasingly adversarial Chinese government unquote I'm going to ask you as an analyst do you agree that China is the United States' most important geopolitical threat? I agree that China is the most important geopolitical challenge and in some ways poses a threat to the United States. That is not a threat of invasion of the continental United States but it's a threat to American interests around the world

CHAPTER 08 / 55 Discussion

CIA China Mission Center and Intelligence Reorganization

CIA Director William J. Burns announced the creation of a new China Mission Center to address the geopolitical threat posed by the Chinese government. This reorganization represents the first time the agency has focused a specific mission center on a single country since the Cold War. The initiative includes a push to recruit Mandarin speakers and coordinate global intelligence gathering.

22:20 And I don't know, I have no idea why this never happened. It should happen in the 50s 60s 70s 80s 90s? Anyway did you put is that was that last clip? I think there's one more No, that's...I think that's all there is Is there five? Well maybe there are five Hold on a second I was just going to say that here's what Xi Jinping said on the 110th anniversary of the revolution He's called for peaceful reunification with Taiwan after they sent 56 bombers to fly around.

22:56 Let's have peace! This week the CIA announced that it would create a new China Mission Center, which CIA Director William J. Burns said quote will further strengthen our collective work on the most important geopolitical threat we face in the 21st century and increasingly adversarial Chinese government unquote I'm going to ask you as an analyst do you agree that China is the United States' most important geopolitical threat? I agree that China is the most important geopolitical challenge and in some ways poses a threat to the United States. That is not a threat of invasion of the continental United States but it's a threat to American interests around the world

23:38 not just even in the, around China's periphery. But it's...China at the United Nations is trying to push its own definition of human rights which is not the universal definition they don't support freedom of access to information on the internet for example so we have very very different values and I see China as trying to push its values into the international system that really causes me to be worried. So I think the CIA is doing the right thing and this is emblematic of what the entire administration is doing. Before we let you go, are there areas in which China and the U.S. are or could be working as partners? Or is it just doomed to be adversarial?

24:25 Well, I'm glad you asked that question because I don't believe the relationship should be exclusively adversarial and there are so many global issues that our two countries can work on along with the rest of the international community. I think climate change is at the top of that list Yeah, I got the CIA story. I think it's a really big deal at least the fact that is being announced and here's a quick report from the CIA broadcast system themselves. The CIA director has announced that the agency is establishing a major organization focused on expanding

25:05 and coordinating intelligence gathering against China or about China. What does this mean for US-China relations? That's right, we should hat tip our colleague Olivia Gazis who follows the intelligence community who helped break this story yesterday what essentially this does is that for the first time now she has the CIA focusing on a single country and they're gonna build entire teams of all around the world monitoring every aspect of Chinese society and how it's trying to infiltrate the United States and the rest of the Western world. They haven't done this since the USSR was in existence back into the late 1980s, but there is a good understanding across parties among all intelligence experts that there needs to be renewed and constant focus on China

25:48 You talk to people here at the White House, they get jazzed up about China no matter what the issue is. And in the intelligence community they understand it's a necessity as well They say it's harder to infiltrate this country given that the Chinese economy is so intertwined with the American economy and their launching a new push to recruit people who speak Mandarin uh...to work for the CIA A big understanding and reorganization that I noted yesterday saw bunch of Republican national security foreign policy folks who said this was very good and overdue idea Paul, did they mention all the dead CIA spies in China that this because we had a mole at the CIA 20-year veteran who turned them all in and... In fact I think this is the announcement of the retaliation. Well we'll see how retaliatory they end up actually being.

CHAPTER 09 / 55 Discussion

Biden and the Ambiguous Taiwan Agreement

President Joe Biden stated that he and Xi Jinping agreed to abide by the "Taiwan Agreement," though the specific text of such an agreement remains unclear. The New Tang Dynasty reports that the U.S. and China likely have conflicting interpretations of this policy. The U.S. maintains a "One China" policy while China views the agreement as a mandate for non-interference.

joe biden· xi jinping· taiwan agreement· white house· diplomacy

26:37 And this refers to Biden, if you remember Biden is caught on the tarmac somewhere saying what about Taiwan? What about Taiwan? He says don't worry we got it covered. We have the Taiwan...we had an agreement, the Taiwan Agreement where they were sticking by it he makes a big point of that well Here's the analysis by the Niu Tang dynasty, and nobody else reports this by the way. The clip is the Taiwan Agreement. President Biden tells reporters that during a phone call he and Chinese leader Xi Jinping committed to abiding by the Taiwan agreement

27:13 China has spoken with Xi about Taiwan. We agree, we'll abide by the Taiwan agreement if that's what we are and we made it clear that I don't think he should be doing anything other than abiding by the agreements Biden made the statement after days of provocations from the Chinese regime. Beijing deployed dozens of warplanes into Taiwan's air defense zone, but the two leaders might have different interpretations of what constitutes the Taiwan agreement. Biden appears to be referring to Washington's policy of only recognizing communist-controlled mainland China as China

27:49 and not fully recognizing Taiwan. In contrast, the Chinese regime's view of the agreement is that other nations should not interfere in how it chooses to deal with Taiwan. The Chinese regime sent 56 warplanes near Taiwan on Monday despite condemnation and a demand to stop issued by the United States a day earlier." So what exactly is the crux of the Taiwan Agreement? Well, it seems according to these guys that there's two interpretations. But there is no text? There is nothing I can read about it? I haven't found anything. Me neither. I think it was in a gentleman's agreement that was misunderstood by both parties. Well if you don't write it down, ya boobs! That's never gonna work especially if Biden doesn't remember.

CHAPTER 10 / 55 Discussion

Taiwan Manufacturing History and Precision Engineering

Taiwan's evolution from a producer of cheap plastic goods to a leader in precision engineering and injection molding is discussed. The shift of manufacturing expertise from Japan to Taiwan and eventually to mainland China is noted as a significant economic trend. The discussion also touches on India's growing role in the online furniture market.

taiwan· manufacturing· japan· south korea· injection molding

28:40 The idea is that the, you know we don't... Ours is that where we're just not going to recognize them as a country which we've been following since again my complaint since the end of the 40's and the Chinese PRC, the Communist Chinese Party's idea is that hey whatever happens happens. That's the agreement When I was a kid and I am talking 10 I took tennis lessons and I remember very specifically that not only my tennis racket But pretty much everything around me came from Taiwan, and it was kind of a joke in America made in Taiwan

29:25 Do you remember that when Taiwan was like our main… Taiwan had a huge, they took over from the made in Japan moniker. Right yes they did yeah not in terms of product well not in terms no I'm talking about categories the precision engineering stuff all gravitated toward Japan to the point where they were doing hard, they could do hard things. They were doing... Your plastic green army men came from Taiwan? They would yes and they're Japanese are doing machinery you know that precision machinery and things like that and in fact I remember I was in went to South Korea once too one of this business to Samsung

30:11 I think my first visit, it was a long time ago. And I asked them about this because they were making monitors and they were starting to take over the monitor business and they eventually took over the TV business. And I asked him why don't you do hard disks there? He says oh, Japanese can do the hard disks we're not that good at precision engineering. And that was the point that was made. That changed because of South Koreans do precision engineering now and so, and the Taiwanese started doing it. The Taiwanese are still... I don't know if anyone cares about this but in terms of injection molding

30:47 Nobody in the world can do what the Taiwanese can do. Yeah, that's because they got so much feedback from American kids about this shitty seams on the Green Army men! It was like my dude won't even stand to see underneath his foot, his base was messed up he wouldn't even stay you had to file it down yourself Actually, you're probably right. It probably did result in them being so good at presenting We helped Taiwan as children! I'm so proud of us But anyways, so you're right and it changed from one country to now everything is made in China including precision engineering because we sent our engineers over there to show them how to do it

31:27 And so did the Japanese and so did the Taiwanese. All of the Taiwanese companies used to be made in Taiwan, they were all hooked into China I mean... Yeah, I see a lot of the furniture coming from India though. India seems to be head furniture company for the stuff that you buy online You know what i mean? Like crate and barrel. Yeah junk! We certainly don't make that stuff here Where's Ron Swanson when you need some good wood There is one other small issue with China and the United States relations. I don't know if this is part of the Taiwan agreement or not... We continue tonight, and the US Navy now confirming a nuclear-powered submarine, USS Connecticut, and collision striking unknown object underwater in Pacific

CHAPTER 11 / 55 Discussion

USS Connecticut Submarine Collision in the Pacific

The nuclear-powered submarine USS Connecticut sustained damage after striking an unknown object underwater in the Pacific. While official reports used the broad term "Pacific," other sources indicate the incident occurred in the South China Sea. The collision resulted in several minor injuries to sailors and forced the vessel to return to port for repairs.

uss connecticut· navy· south china sea· submarine· collision

32:14 The boat now headed to port to assess the damage. You'll remember here we took you on board a nuclear submarine in the Mediterranean, this was two years ago, the USS Florida We saw that technology up close and also how stealthy these submarines are I want to bring in our Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz because Martha you've been on these submarines as well A lot of people at home will be asking how does this happen? How does a collision even take place Well, David as you and I both know these nuclear-powered attack submarines are all about stealth. And in order to remain stealthy the submarines will often turn off their active sonar so they can't be detected but that leaves them essentially blind relying on charts and those charts would not show a sunken ship container or even sometimes a seamount

32:59 Back in 2005, the USS San Francisco hit a sea mountain off of Guam. Fortunately this collision is not expected to be nearly as bad but there were several sailors injured with bumps and bruises. The submarine is now on its way back to port." You know with the amount of submariners we have amongst our producers I can think of four, four off hand Not a single report from any of them about this. Here's another thing about this report, my understanding of this event was in the South China Sea not the Pacific Ocean I agree This is a fast one pulled by... Whoop! It is ABC, TheWokeABC

33:45 So they said the Pacific, well yeah I guess the South China Sea maybe you know kind of is in the Pacific. Well i think it was meant to de-escalate the issues about it. You know the report easily could have been... Problems in the Target State! Yeah could have done that. I hope not. That's only if you get Biden sound guy but yeah that could have been the report It could have been just, you know, oh problems. Problems. Well you heard South China Sea I heard South China Sea why didn't they put that on ABC? You can just say no first of all I can go under man on the side be a man on the street right now with a microphone and go ask people where's this out China sea

34:26 And they'll say, uh... the bottom of China? The bottom of China. Is South Dakota? No! Is it outside of Chicago? No no don't tell me that go on the street if you say to someone where is the South China Sea and they say Chicago I will give you a hundred dollars. Well I sound like my father. Sorry didn't mean to insult you worth your trouble but i could do it how about this though maybe this was a vax-ident You know, everybody's vaccinated on them ships. Maybe the ships got a big maybe the helmsman fell over Yes blood clots hey it can't be good having potential blood clots and spike proteins in your veins and then getting pressurized Pressure eyes is not a good idea Hey But let's just stay with With climate change for a second since that's logical with China because oh yes We'll be working very closely with them

Google and YouTube Climate Denial Demonetization Policy

Google and YouTube have announced a new policy to prohibit ads and monetization on content that promotes climate change denial. This includes claims calling climate change a hoax or denying that human activity contributes to global warming. The Ad Council is also noted for running "creepy" public service announcements regarding the urgency of climate action.

google· youtube· climate change· demonetization· ad council

35:30 Let's go over those coal numbers again that they're plowing through. Mega megatons! What I was going to talk about briefly is the announcement that Google and YouTube are going to demonetize, but that's just beginning of it... The headline is will prohibit ads and monetization on climate denial content And they've... No, but they've also really gone into specifics. This includes content referring to... because pay attention John! If we were dependent upon Google or YouTube we'd be screwed. Quote this includes content referring to climate change as a hoax or a scam

36:20 I think they could take... Very specific. Very specific! Claims denying that long-term trends show the global climate is warming, which you know, I don't know if that's something that can be disputed that much. Claims denying that greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change. Oh claims denying greenhouse gas emissions or human activity contribute to climate change Isn't that interesting? So if you come up with actual proof that we're not contributing to it because the sun may be doing more or... Well, we're still contributing. This is the tricky language they are using I mean does human.. If your talking greenhouse gas emissions whereas what I exhale from my body is now deemed a poison let's call it a greenhouse gas Am I contributing well yeah of course

37:15 So that just ends all... so here's a question for you. John, how many percent of scientists believe that climate change is caused by humans? 99.9! Give me the honest answer you know the answer 97.5% 97%. You know what? There's been a lot of back and forth, let's just say 98%, just to make it good. No, 97%, stick with the number. Does this mean that

37:52 And this is not just of climate scientists who agreed with that in a small survey. No, no the way we've been told 98% of all scientists agree Yeah it's done deal So does that mean that 2 percent of scientists Of all scientist in the world which must be millions Really can't go on Google or YouTube anymore That what I means They're no longer valid They're no longer welcome. I just want to make sure that we're trusting the science is unbelievable Here's the ad council with Something creepy as a scientist, I know by the time she takes her first breath 9 billion more tons of carbon pollution will be in there She takes our first steps Wildfires will have burned millions more acres she could've

38:45 By the time a child born today goes to college, it may be too late to leave them the world we promised. Our window to act on climate change is like watching them grow up. We blink and we miss it Who is the Ad Council? Oh my god, the Ad Council is a public service arm of the advertising agencies they put into it. It's like C-SPAN Right well but only if it behooves their initiatives So they all agree climate change is go and then they'll put money into the pot. There's more money in it than there is no money. Yes, so they put that money in there... There's no money in climate denial! No witness The NO Agenda Show! Witness the podcasters! We're not climate deniers we are news deconstructors yeah okay It just so happens that when we deconstruct certain things we just... We go against the narrative. We go against the narrative.

Seth Godin and The Carbon Almanac Project

Marketing guru Seth Godin is organizing a collaborative book project titled "The Carbon Almanac" to address the climate emergency. Godin is inviting contributors to join a community focused on documenting facts about the environment. The project is characterized by some as a marketing-driven approach to climate activism.

seth godin· marketing· carbon almanac· climate emergency· dot-com

39:46 But everyone's popping up again because the money is coming out. Biden is in, we got everything good to go, we're getting a little bit excited and we have the transition from Corona to COVID. Do you remember Seth Godin? I do remember Seth Godin. Now what was Seth Godin's role in life? He was a consultant, I always thought... Was he not or did he...? Oh, I can't remember Seth Godin. He wrote books... Wasn't he a futurist maybe or...? He was an actor! Sounds like an actor to me! Hold on a second. Let's see what his Wikipedia says

40:24 Seth W. Godin, is an American author and former dot-com business executive. Oh really? But I thought that... oh yeah he wrote numerous books here we go Free Prize Inside The Dip these are business books All books I've never heard of. He was mainly, this is where I know him from at least at that time he was like a marketing guy. He was a marketing guru and and i remember in the let's say late 90s you know we're getting on towards 2000 dot-com bubble I mean he was the guy you know that could tell you exactly how it was going to work so part futurist but part marketing guy

41:10 So now, he's- yes? I was just gonna say it reminds me of the women, mostly women who are the social network experts that companies bring in. They're media... Social media experts and they can you know they're going to tell us all how to do social media and you go look at their Twitter account they got 530 followers Oh! You mean How good are you? You mean people like this? Mary McCormick! Give it up, Mary McCoy! Yeah those are marketing consultants singing. So that gives you an idea of what we feel as consultants in this...

41:59 In this regard. So Seth Godin, marketing guy but he needs to hop on the train He feels it all coming so what is he doing? Oh yeah baby! He's sending out personal invites with a video To everybody to contribute to his carbon almanac Hey it's Seth Thank you for checking us ou- Hey It's Seth Hey, like you know. Everyone knows me. Hey it's Seth. Thank you for checking this out here is a simple form that you can fill out we're going to be inviting a bunch of people to join a community that is getting together to write a book to create something about climate about the emergency that were facing about the facts on the ground We are building in discourse and got 50 people contributing already

42:40 We'll share all the details with you when we can again. Thank you for taking the time hope to see okay This is when scammers like this are going public You gotta be careful now It's about to be ratcheted up and beware of the following term frontline communities I had not heard of this I have yes I, but I never paid attention to it. But I have heard it and now that you mentioned that you've heard it now? It may be something yes definitely pay attention. Frontline... What does it really mean according to EcoTrust who are centering on frontline communities Oh! That's good to know because if anybody should be centering on them its those guys the EcoTrust people

CHAPTER 14 / 55 Discussion

EcoTrust and the Concept of Frontline Communities

The term "frontline communities" is being used by organizations like EcoTrust to describe low-income neighborhoods and communities of color most affected by climate change. Critics argue that this framing leverages environmental issues to push agendas related to race and gender. The discussion questions the universal nature of climate impacts versus this specific sociological targeting.

ecotrust· frontline communities· climate justice· social equity· environmentalism

43:28 Frontline communities are those that experience first and worst the consequences of climate change. Those like the guys who lived in paradise? No surprise, these are communities of color and low income whose neighborhoods... Only people in paradise were communities of color and low-income and they seem to be very frontline when they burn to the ground These are often communities... What kind of bull crap are you trying to feed us here? The people in the Malibu Canyon that got burned to the ground, that's a frontline community. There's no Hispanics there or there are but

44:07 Not that many. These are communities of color and low income whose neighborhoods often lack basic infrastructure to support them, and who will be increasingly vulnerable as our climate deteriorates. These are native communities whose resources have been exploited and laborers whose daily work or living environments are polluted or toxic Oh, and while these communities have a disproportionate wealth of experience living with the implications of climate change they likely haven't benefited from the same deference on environmental issues with which ecotrust and other dominant culture organizers are privileged.

44:50 I'm so happy Ecotrust is going to save them. Isn't climate change something that's happening universally around the globe? It's a global thing... It's only the frontline communities! Isn't it a global thing where everybody suffers from climate change because it's gonna change everything? Yeah, but you have privilege old white man, so shut up this is the whole point This is they're leveraging They're leveraging climate change for gender race etc. There's just more of the same This is getting old. I believe that the public is going to be lapping this up as much as they used to. I agree with you, I think that much less of the public is lapping up anything...I also was thinking just yesterday when they talk about these numbers for instance 80% of hospitals are vaccinated and then in the next day it's like 95%.

CHAPTER 15 / 55 Discussion

Labor Shortages and Vaccine Mandate Walkouts

Significant labor disruptions are occurring across the U.S. as workers in the ferry, airline, and emergency service sectors protest vaccine mandates. In Washington, Governor Jay Inslee's mandate led to widespread ferry cancellations, while Southwest Airlines faced hundreds of flight delays. Reports from police and fire departments suggest a breakdown in public safety staffing due to voluntary resignations and retirements.

vaccine mandates· labor shortage· jay inslee· southwest airlines· air traffic control

45:50 So first of all, when they say it about the whole US do they really really really know that there's 80% fully vaccinated? Do they really have these numbers I question that. Well, I'm stunned by that. That you question such a thing since all we do is report and we play clips 75% of blah blah blah 60 percent of blah blah the same blah blah blah this said to be abused blah blah as a term but you hear these guys they say well it looks and they get these numbers are all over the map but there's no official number It's also a cool trick let's say at the hospital at the Hill Country Central General

46:30 We could say on Monday, we could say 80% of everybody here is vaccinated. And then on Friday we could say it's now 95%. You know why? Because 15% walked off the job! Exactly! Well did you hear what happened up in the Seattle area? No. They have a moronic governor up there called Jay Inslee and So he had a statewide mandate and they mandated that all the people, all the ferries had to be vaccinated by certain day. They all walked off the job! There were no ferries! Hundreds and hundreds of ferry crossings were cancelled The traffic is a snarl because there's no ferries going across Ensley himself who lives on one of the islands

47:21 Can't get a ferry because the ferries aren't running because all they all said screw you guys were like that They really stood up for themselves, and they just walked off the job Well this is happening all over the country. It's not being reported hardly locally I have a few reports in fact now. I have not gotten Real confirmation but something happened at Jacksonville Airport yesterday. First of all, Southwest canceled almost 600 flights. Yeah this is Jacksonville Florida yes I heard it I heard this story too i think its true well what what I'm hearing is that there might have been a ATC walkout now they say ATC am skeptical this is why I have problems with and by the way all the pilot forms not a word not even a mention of the rumor which is odd

48:14 And the official report of what happened is, we experienced significant impact in the Florida airports yesterday evening after an FAA imposed air traffic management program was implemented due to weather and resulted in a large number of cancellations. Air traffic control issues... Issues? ...and disruptive weather have resulted in a high volume of cancellations." So I have never seen the ATC issues Issues. That's not really an explanation. It's possible that that happened, but I don't know for sure But we're losing a lot of good producers in key positions Here we go producer who works at Red Hat boom my company just announced today looks like he'll be a dude named Ben looking for a new gig Sir Ernesto

49:05 Well, I just got the accept the vaccine or lose your job email from the company CEO. I work for IBM no way around it No testing option. No exemptions then we have Got a report from Bad Chad from Colorado EMS or EMT through with the fire department and He I'm sorry that Chad had the shots a bad chat had the shots and he got shingles and And many stroke and was blind for a little bit of it was not good It wasn't at time. And so now there's tremendous shortage of police officers

49:48 And there's just a shortage of everything. Fire department, they cannot... Well anyway so I said is this all because of vaccines? He said and this is I think a little more concerning than just people walking off the job This is the same thing that's happening everywhere I think these people don't want to do the job and here's what he writes We haven't actually been defunded. Cops are leaving voluntarily, retiring if they're able falling back to a bachelor's degree and some experience to get them into another field in case you haven't noticed there is a lot of job openings and those that are still here our vocal on their plans to get out as soon as they can There aren't bodies to fill the applications most recently The City started offering a sign-on bonus of several thousand dollars sound familiar healthcare?

50:43 Veteran cops are leaving and the trickle of recruits that's replacing them are children 20, 21 years old maybe. Good people but it's hard to replace 20 or 30 years of experience with zero experience Today even at the fire department we're below minimum staffing literally cannot find people to come in for overtime had to shut down my rig he had an ambulance and got moved from a typical safety medical officer job to riding backwards on the truck That means nothing to you trust me That is not good. That means you're now in junior firefighter position, which means they are in a very, very desperate situation." So this is a breakdown and it's a breakdown not just because of vaccines but I think the whole idea of just screw everybody... The public safety sector has an issue right now and the vaccine thing hasn't helped it No that's exasperated it It made it worse so why would

51:42 Is that the right use of the word exasperated? I don't know. No, you are exasperated... Yeah you can't- You're exasperated but the problem can be... I can be exasperated by the topic now okay but thank you Anyway let's be so what The point is is that you already have a problem and it started with Black Lives Matter and defund the police and did and the whole thing So right now it's tenuous at that point. People are getting a little fed up, the cops don't like being thought of as jerks and so... No! Certainly not. The next thing you do is now you put extra requirements on top of all that including the vaccine they may or may not want because especially EMT guys who have seen what has happened already happen to them Exactly That's where a lot of nurses walked out They saw these patients coming in after because their shots were probably given

CBS News Analysis of the Anemic Jobs Report

CBS News business analyst Jill Schlesinger reports that the U.S. economy added 300,000 fewer jobs than expected in September. Despite 1.5 jobs being available for every unemployed American, many remain reluctant to re-enter the workforce. Schlesinger attributes this reluctance to ongoing fears of COVID-19 and challenges regarding childcare and eldercare.

cbs news· jill schlesinger· jobs report· unemployment· covid-19

52:38 inappropriately or in the wrong way and people get sick. You can't do what Biden's, it's Biden's fault he's the one calling for all this stuff Yeah, and here's the real world results. September may be back to school month but it is not back to work According to the latest figures The economy added 300 thousand fewer jobs than expected The most meager gain since last December I thought that this was a really disappointing report It was anemic CBS News Business Analyst Jill Schlesinger. Overall, the big issue here is that we are not done with this virus it is infecting people and it is also infecting the economy

53:21 The problem isn't a lack of jobs, it's a lack of candidates. The latest figures show there are 1.5 jobs available for every unemployed American the largest gap ever recorded Why do you think there are so many people who are still reluctant to re-enter the workforce? People are still fearful of COVID and what it will be like in workplaces, ensuring their own safety. There are still challenges as it relates to child care, elder care. What she says is that people don't want to grab these jobs because they're afraid of COVID! That's exactly what she's saying

Jen Psaki and Corporate Tax Pass-Through Claims

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki dismissed the argument that companies pass increased tax costs on to consumers as "unfair and absurd." This statement came during a briefing regarding the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan and its impact on inflation. Economists and critics have ridiculed the comment, noting that price increases are a standard response to higher operating costs.

jen psaki· white house· inflation· corporate tax· build back better

54:02 She's full of crap, that woman. When her retirement is not coming soon enough... You want to hear something? This was my favorite it's just a 26 seconds outside of topic but President Biden's poll numbers are historically bad and apparently this is from polls that typically favor Democrats. So it's bad, and I think the let's go Brandon kind of shows you that it's bad and people have just given up. In fact the people are exasperated with Joe Biden And so what's next now is we have inflation, which is supposed to be temporary and we have this taxes or this $3.5 trillion Build Back Better plan

54:49 And this plan will be paid for by anyone making over $400,000 a year with extra taxation. But there's a problem here because you know oh my goodness when you have an inflation like that with tax it creates higher prices typically because people pass that on to the consumer maybe not immediately Sorry, you're gonna if you're gonna play it doesn't be if you're gonna if you have the clip I think you might have good but once you play the cliff flip who will talk about it Obviously the president's commitment. We're sorry why Jen? Why are you only in one year? I'm giving me to Jen properly that's the way she does it. I don't like it when she does that

55:34 Stop that chin. Obviously the president's commitment remains not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year There are some and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report who argue that in the past Companies have passed on these costs to consumers. I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report We feel that's unfair and absurd, and the American people would not stand for that. But I will take a closer look at this report to get you more substantive response. Is she that stupid? Is she that stupid?! Is that the one you hoped I had? Yep! Yes... well, stupid to say it. That's double-stupid

56:12 Yeah, first you're stupid to think it and now you're stupid to say it. You are an idiot! If I'm running a company and it costs me five bucks to sell a product then the government's gonna tax me an extra say what amounts to $1 per item I'll just add the dollar to the price of the product. It's gonna... because i'm not gonna, I'm gonna get a big hit here. Of course not! No it'd be irresponsible but also take a beating is what she says. She's like..I can't believe this. Play- I hate to tell you this but You want me to play again don't you? Because it's the worst, I can't This is the most stupidest thing

56:51 And the most naive thing that anybody in that position that she's in can possibly say to the public, of course and then somebody would record it and then we'd ridicule her for it but she deserves it. Obviously the president's commitment remains not raising taxes for anyone making less than $400,000 a year. There are some and I'm not sure if this is the case in this report who argue that in the past companies have passed on these costs to consumers. I'm not sure if that's the argument being made in this report we feel that that's unfair and absurd and the American people would not stand for that but I will take a closer look at this report and get you a more substantive response go ahead Jackie

Frances Haugen and the January 6th Committee

Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is scheduled to meet with the January 6th House Select Committee to discuss how the platform's algorithms may have facilitated the Capitol attack. Critics suggest Haugen may be a "planted" figure used to justify increased government regulation of the internet. Her rapid rise in social media following and her background in Facebook's intelligence division are highlighted as suspicious.

frances haugen· facebook· whistleblower· january 6th· algorithms

59:00 succumbing to the overlords. I don't know if you saw the newsletter afterwards finalized, but i had a and it was like...I got it from No Agenda Social this picture of this of the woman that the whistleblower quote-unquote whistleblower who we spotted as a spook and it's a tweet from her and she's joined Twitter on October 6th and within a day. She's got a blue check mark, she got a blue check mark within a day and she's already 50 thousand followers within a day into that you'd go now it's like 70 or something And I just keep looking at that shaking my head reminding me what that we did have a clip of one of the women who was I think one of the disguise experts somebody worked at the agency for a long time and she said well here have a real problem with social media because we don't know if its a tell

59:49 that like our people don't have an account. They've never had an account on it, they're not on LinkedIn, they're not on Twitter, they're not on Facebook and she's worried as a tell that it might indicate that their intelligence people or because they may have you know lot of them don't even have the same name in real life and they use pseudonyms just consistently wasn't that wasn't that um... That was Kara Swisher Maybe this is it. How do you compete for the best and the brightest when you know talent can easily go to Silicon Valley or Hollywood, or any of these places where it's significantly more lucrative?

1:00:30 Yeah, so I think the current generations are much more service oriented. So if I can bring them in and get them kind of caught on our mission and they go out make money, I'll take them back right? And so you can do a balance and it's not... You don't have to make a choice. You're not deciding that I'm going to do this forever. That's the woman though. It wasn't this interview that she brought this up And she kind of sounds a little bit milieu-ishly like the Facebook... You think right? You think right?! Here is, well it didn't take long for this to happen. Facebook whistleblower Frances Haugen is expected to meet with the January 6th House Select Committee following her scathing testimony on Capitol Hill

1:01:13 She blasted Facebook's use of artificial intelligence to catch hate speech and misinformation. The House Select Committee believes Haugen can provide insight into how Facebook was likely used to help facilitate the January 6th attack on the Capitol. The committee is asking for data on domestic extremists affiliated with efforts to overturn the 2020 election I'm just going to state it again, this woman is going to be used or her story in addition to regulating the internet or services on the internet. She has the chops. RT did an article on her and discuss a bunch of things left out of her story, and it included the fact that she... Several annoying little details. Like she- The division she worked at Facebook was the intelligence division

1:02:07 and she's just an obvious planted person. It is just a... Well there's one thing that the media just licks, laps it up, laps it up I've used the term twice. Well they're idiots because they think Facebook is finally going down and they'll get some of that sweet sweet ad revenue back But I, yeah they are stupid. And I wanted to add when Facebook gets regulated and it will be a regulation of algorithms probably or no protection for algorithms it'll give any Silicon Valley or any big platform which we used to call UGC this is when section 230 was written it was to protect UGC

CHAPTER 20 / 55 Discussion

Facebook Regulation and the Master Settlement Comparison

The potential regulation of Facebook is being compared to the legal battles faced by Big Tobacco, suggesting a future "master settlement" for social media companies. Proposed regulations may target algorithms and remove Section 230 protections for certain types of content. Despite concerns over "Facebook jail" and censorship, many users remain on the platform due to its role in maintaining social connections.

facebook· section 230· big tobacco· regulation· user generated content

1:02:51 Remember that? No. User generated content! Oh yes, UGC. It was all UGC. Are you a UGC play? So it was put in place for that So they're going to regulate that because the comparison is out there, it's like big tobacco. So it is unhealthy for people that means you have to have age limits, you have to have very narrow restrictions so that there's no confusion and just like big tobacco I posit you now that there will be a similar master states agreement for either taxation

1:03:33 Because, you know in the state of Texas clearly even though just like tobacco people will go on Facebook it is going to cause some harm to people and we need to be compensated for that. So here's a good one so Mimi she tells me all her friends at one time or another went into Facebook jail and so they throw her Mimi into Facebook jail Well she is a troublemaker Well, she goes to the Facebook jail for a post that is three years old. Oh yeah well someone reported it! Either that or is just some al... I told her was an algo just plowing through old posts possible and so she's off the platform for they put her in jail for a week because I think about a week which wasn't much and I said well that's interesting as are you going to just

1:04:31 Are you fed up and you're gonna quit Facebook? And of course, what do you think she said? No it's the only way I can keep up with some of these friends of mine. She's not quitting Facebook...I'd be pissed off! Well, I've not been on Facebook for a good four or five years. You've never had an account... You did a good job of staying on it. And Reddit! Reddit is blocked. I can't even get to any Reddit. I refuse to use Reddit. I would say that I would have lost the bet your Facebook I think we might have had a bet about that. I can't recall well you did possibly forgot about the bet in this then it doesn't exist as true so I would have bet serious money that this was not a possibility and You did it and I congratulate you, that's fantastic what I of course never had an account And I only have a vague Instagram account showing check-in on

1:05:30 but just photos. It's useless. Right, but if anyone who listens to the show and produces it knows you're the better person I mean this is just an obvious fact. It's a fact! Um...I am very happy about all this because-and i was talking to Tina about this last night-i'm so happy that this is taking place we need all kinds of restrictions We need as much as possible on these companies do as much as you can because I remember AltaVista Don't no one needs a search engine av.com baby AltaVista, it's the one it's good to go and we got Google I remember GeoCities this is no way anyone can build a community like this on the internet ever again Geocities Is where its at until we got

Tech Monopolies and the Future of Social Platforms

The history of dominant tech platforms like AltaVista, MySpace, and AOL suggests that current giants like Google and Facebook could eventually be replaced. While some argue these companies are now too entrenched to fail, others point to emerging competitors like DuckDuckGo and Niva. CNN commentators Chris Cuomo and Don Lemon are criticized for comparing Facebook's impact to the health risks of cigarettes.

I can't recall well you did possibly forgot about the bet in this then it doesn't exist as true so I would have bet serious money that this was not a possibility and You did it and I congratulate you, that's fantastic what I of course never had an account And I only have a vague Instagram account showing check-in on

1:05:30 but just photos. It's useless. Right, but if anyone who listens to the show and produces it knows you're the better person I mean this is just an obvious fact. It's a fact! Um...I am very happy about all this because-and i was talking to Tina about this last night-i'm so happy that this is taking place we need all kinds of restrictions We need as much as possible on these companies do as much as you can because I remember AltaVista Don't no one needs a search engine av.com baby AltaVista, it's the one it's good to go and we got Google I remember GeoCities this is no way anyone can build a community like this on the internet ever again Geocities Is where its at until we got

1:06:18 MySpace. And then, MySpace! You don't need any place to put your videos, your music... This is where your friends are I can't believe Tom Freston didn't buy it What an idiot It- That's where it's at Enter Facebook. I mean, I can go on and on and off for that Yeah, I would dispute your Geo cities to myspace when it was actually live journal to Myspace Okay You don't have to cop a fucking attitude but okay It's an attitude And then MySpace and MySpace collapse if you recall after Fox bought them Yes

1:06:55 After Tom Freston MTV Networks declined and was fired for not buying MySpace. My point is clear though, AOL was where it was at until it wasn't everything is replaceable and people now Facebook you're absolutely right is unique when it comes to local advertising but people just wanting to do shit I think it's great. Everyone will move away Well, I have to say If you look at any other industry, the car industry has finally settled into the big three after they had a thousand other things. And there's this big three are still around Toyota comes around but it is Japanese zeroes They're making cars in Japan from the beginning to early days I think at some point of stops and I don't know that Google's gonna be replaced by what you're using which is...I can never remember the name of it from when... Niva?

1:07:52 Niva, Niva. And Facebook- I never said that! No, I never said that either. You just did? I'm just saying they're not going to be replaced by them or anybody else. DuckDuckGo who should advertise on radio now and they're doing okay for themselves, I think So you think no one can ever... Let's write this down You think no one can get market share away from Google, Facebook, Twitter We'll just throw over YouTube, Instagram. No I never said that! I'm asking! I'm asking! DuckDuckGo is getting market share? No no...I said they will take it all away not just take some away you think no one can ever replace Google Facebook Twitter etc Twitters...Twitter i'm not putting out in the same camp but its a piece of crap Just want to get it down But Facebook is there for the long haul and so is Google Okay

1:08:47 Fine. Those two excluded, I think there's plenty of opportunity for things to change in a very significant way and it's coming because listen to the two giant talking numb nuts on CNN during their bro handover There is fine line between disseminating information and having free speech um...and stopping people from saying what they want censoring people But I think that we are well beyond that point. This isn't about censorship, this is about doing what is right The same thing with the tobacco companies, which I'll talk about. Where the tobacco companies fought tooth and nail with very similar arguments as to what Mark Zuckerberg and others at Facebook are saying in defense of themselves Now listen we know it's not a cancer like a cigarette or disease like that but it can be cancerous to our mentality and to our society And other things Not just kill themselves But they harm themselves Right? They harm others

1:09:48 And they are predatory behavior. You shouldn't be you shouldn't be allowed to just bully people with, you know, with no defense right? And look I actually flip this because you're going to have the freedom fighters come at anybody who's all look he wants take where your rights can decide for yourself has to do everything same kind of BS that they did with the vaccine but look it's a privilege let's flip the script You find me an area of our existence that is left alone the way this is. No newspaper you read, no television... What? ...no podcast! Okay?! What!? No radio station! There's nowhere else that you take in information that basically just says hey man it is what it is. These people are- What?? Yeah yeah. Podcasts are safe according to Chris Cuomo we're safe Even podcasts aren't as crazy as Facebook algorithms

Project Veritas Pfizer Whistleblower and Fetal Tissue Emails

Project Veritas released internal Pfizer emails showing executives discussing how to handle inquiries about the use of fetal cell lines in vaccine testing. Vanessa Gelman, a Senior Director at Pfizer, advised avoiding the topic to prevent public backlash. The whistleblower, an employee at the McPherson plant, was subsequently terminated via a voicemail from corporate security.

1:10:40 Who knows? What is wrong with those two. Well there's a lot wrong with those two but it's just now there was a real whistleblower not moving away from from Facebook and Silicon Valley let me just check something yes a Pfizer whistleblower and a good one finally from Veritas. And this whistleblower came with some documentation from Pfizer, and it's dynamite! I love this! I work at a pharmaceutical company i'm not an anti-vaxxer um...I just believe in research and science. In this database you came across the chain of emails discussing

1:11:21 fetal tissue and the COVID vaccine. Vanessa Gelman, who works in Washington DC is Senior Director of Worldwide Research. A question came up as an inquiry to our MedInfo group they're asking quote did Pfizer make use of a cell line from an aborted fetus? They want you to leave out the highlighted part which is that one or more cell lines with an origin that can be traced back to human fetal tissue has been used in laboratory tests associated with the vaccine program. And here we have your badge, you are an employee of Pfizer? I work at the McPherson Kansas plant it's one of the biggest plants in the operation of Pfizer We produce some of the most units

1:11:57 This message from Vanessa Gilman. From the perspective of corporate affairs, we want to avoid having the information on the fetal cell lines floating out there. We believe that the risk is communicating this right now outweighs any potential benefit that we could see particularly with general members of the public who may take this information and use it in ways we may not want it out there. We have not received any questions from policymakers or media on this issue in the last few weeks so we want to avoid raising this if possible This is one of the core tenets of religious exemption. And they're hiding it! I think this, I like it... I thought it was a fairly well-known fact

1:12:41 Well, I think the fact is different than the executives of the company saying shh we don't want anyone to talk about this. That's smoking gun shit that what she was showing she was showing emails again... She didn't know that this was a This is a very good recording. Yeah, well she's sitting there in the studio this isn't one of... She came forward! She came forward and of course here was the voicemail message she received the next day My name is KJ Wigglesworth I'm from the corporate office No way! Yeah, I questioned that too but let's listen to it anyway My name is KJ Wigglesworth I'm from the corporate office of Pfizer security In New York City

1:13:28 I'd like to pass a message on to you from Ian McKellar, who's the VP and site leader at the McPherson plant for Pfizer vaccines. We've been advised to let you know that you are not under any circumstances to return to work. Your termination is being processed at the current If you have any questions, contact Mr. McKellar at the McPherson plant and I'm sure that he will explain the reasons why."

Personal Anecdotes on Names and Childhood Trauma

A personal discussion explores the difficulties of growing up with certain names and the teasing that often accompanies them. One host recounts childhood experiences with Tourette's and a bad haircut, leading to long-term "PTSD" from peer interactions. The conversation serves as a brief personal aside before returning to news topics.

adam· names· childhood· ptsd· tourette's

1:14:22 As a Wigglesworth? Even an Adam was hard. I hated my name. Who's Adam Hard? Well, listen...I was a very skinny, very gawky kid with Tourette's and a bad haircut with the name Adam Do the math! It was not easy for me People would, you know... They messed with me. It hurt my feelings! I still don't get the... Adam is a common name? No it was certainly not a common name growing up and it was always... HEH! HEY DWEB WHERE'S EVE?! When you already- Oh okay they would do that And then the Dutch would not say Adam they would say EDUM! EDUM! EDUM! Edum. And the worst part was there was a dog in our neighborhood whose name was Erre

1:15:15 And then my sisters would mess with me by saying, call the dog meaning me. So it's traumatic John yes My name is no good It was a problem growing up I have PTSD from that. I'm surprised you're not a Democrat Let's take a look at some Pfizer marketing before we move on from the topic There's not much to say other than it's jab or your job these days This is very very sad very messed-up and it certainly not Not happening everywhere a lot of countries are now turning away from this concept This is Cook County, which is Cook County's where is that Nevada cook out?

Vaccine Mix-and-Match Recommendations and Leana Wen

CNN correspondent Leana Wen is advocating for a "mix-and-match" approach to COVID-19 vaccine boosters, suggesting mRNA vaccines are interchangeable. This marks a shift from earlier World Health Organization warnings against mixing different manufacturers. Wen specifically recommends that those who received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine consider a Pfizer or Moderna booster.

leana wen· cnn· pfizer· moderna· johnson & johnson

1:16:09 You trust us with those you love. So trust us when we say get vaccinated against COVID-19, the vaccines are safe they are proven to work you may have wanted to wait I get it but don't wait until its too late Trust Us Trust US Trust US Trust US Hollywood douchebag but this... Don't they realize that this does this style of commercial doesn't work anymore? Well, first of all these are probably actors not real doctors and no. Find one of them and if you can prove that then this whole thing's a scam! Now do we recall back in July of this year

1:16:53 The World Health Organization was very, very concerned about people doing something incredibly stupid. People who are thinking about mixing and matching... The World Health Organizations chief scientist on Monday advised against people mixing and matching COVID-19 vaccines from different manufacturers So we remember this report it was a big deal as hey hey hey you can't be doing that We could go back to March, April of last year in 2020 and find clips that said the same thing. It's been a known fact enter this week. Here she is once again, former Planned Parenthood executive director and Boston Bombing Marathon emergency medical technician here she is now CNN correspondent Leanna Nguyen. Well I hope that when the FDA and CDC review data around Moderna and Johnson & Johnson that they will allow a mix-and-match approach first because it's actually matter of convenience if you got

1:17:53 Moderna two doses but now the pharmacy near you only has Pfizer. You should be allowed to get that, the mRNA vaccines really should be interchangeable for people who got the Johnston-Johnson vaccine especially for younger women we know that there is an association between the Johnston-Johnson vaccine and a very rare but extremely serious blood clotting disorder in women under the age of 50 Now, if the J&J vaccine were the only vaccine available I would say still get that. But the fact is that we actually have two other very safe and effective vaccines that don't cause a side effect in younger women And so for me, I will not be getting a second dose of the J&J booster. I will want to get one of the mRNA vaccines as the booster and i would hope that FDA & CDC will look at the mix-and-match studies already being done here in the US As well as data available in other countries

1:18:42 that support this type of mix and match approach. I mean, it's not even a fact and she's already pushing it and she's clearly saying hey don't wait if you got J&J don't be an idiot get some Pfizer! Get some Pfizer in them veins! Yeah we've had clips with these top off and all the rest with the other vaccines. Anything to sell more. Yes a top off and now we have... We're having the top-off? We have The Daily Beast You want to talk about some disgusting The race to save the world, the long run global health edition brought you by... Wait. This is the Daily Beast? Who owns the Daily Beast? Who runs the Daily Beast? Is that just an independent...? What kind of operation is that? It came out of Vanity Fair

The Daily Beast and Pfizer Partnership

The Daily Beast is hosting a "Race to Save the World" event in partnership with Pfizer, featuring speakers like Ron Klain. Critics point to this as an example of the blurring lines between news organizations and corporate sponsors. The publication is owned by Barry Diller's IAC, which is described as a "commercial whore" for its advertising practices.

1:19:25 and was independent for a while. I think it's owned by somebody now, i'd have to look...I'll look it up while you're doing that. Well this fabulous...so again this is a news organization right? The Daily Beast are they a news organization? Yes they're supposed to be! Okay the race to save the world marathon continues The next installment will focus on using what we've learned from COVID-19 into a form of long term strategy for protecting the underserved from infectious diseases And this is a big deal. We've got people speak at this thing, we got Ron Klain in there... Of course! Oh yeah, we've got all kinds of goodies in here and also Senior Director of Global Development McCain Institute for International Leadership the guy's name? All right write this down tell me how you pronounce his name His first name is F-R-O-N and his last name is N-A-H-Z-I

1:20:22 Fraun-diae. Fraun Nazi? What a shitty name! Fraun Nazi! Frau Nazi You thought it was bad having a name like Adam. Fraun Nazi! I didn't know any of this Anyway, this whole affair... I think Wigglesworth is what i'm thinking This whole affair The Daily Beast with these shills Is brought to you by Pfizer Yeah, the news organization It's right there in partnership with Pfizer Yeah, well this is how you do it. This is the only way you're gonna make money in that kind of media nowadays. The only way your going to make money's true. Cause' you gotta compete with Facebook bastards. Daily Beast is owned by the Daily Beast Corporation LLC so... Okay well they are shills for Pfizer and then taking their money for that its disgusting. They have too! They can't make any money. You see but we don't do that here No and there also part of IAC the international Oh Barry Diller. Barry Diller is a commercial whore

Pfizer Requests EUA for Children Aged 5 to 11

Pfizer has formally requested Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) from the FDA for its COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11. The proposed regimen is a lower dose than the adult version, tested in a "bridging clinical trial" of 3,000 children. The FDA is scheduled to meet on October 26th to review the safety and efficacy data.

pfizer· fda· eua· children· vaccine

1:21:21 Yeah, and nothing wrong with it. But oh yeah if it's part of IAC then definitely they're part of IAC so as we have all everything there was no real narrative for some reason the past couple of days no news narrative they don't know really what to do with with boosters that you know well actually here's a here's like a precursor from ABC from Dr. Jan about vaccinating children little children there was some news about vaccines yesterday so let's start with kids and the COVID-19 vaccine. What's the latest on that? And more good news for parents and pediatricians alike from Pfizer about their COVID 19 so yesterday they formally requested FDA give emergency use authorization to the COVID-19 vaccine for this age group 5 through 11, this is a two dose regimen three weeks apart

1:22:12 It is a lower dose than used in adults and older teens. This is, by the way called a bridging clinical trial they enrolled about 3,000 children if you remember back there were over 40 thousand adults used They were using some of the safety data So that's why they didn't need to enroll forty thousand children The date on the timeline here FDA is tentatively set to meet October 26th to review this data and then we could hear an official recommendation soon thereafter. Oh, can't wait I'm so excited! No mention of Sweden and Denmark both putting Moderna on pause for younger age groups because i don't know not too good for the kids but maybe that's only in Scandinavia

CDC Director Rochelle Walensky on Flu Season Risks

CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky is urging Americans to get their flu shots, noting that a lack of influenza last year may have reduced residual immune protection. Health officials state that the flu vaccine and COVID-19 boosters can be administered on the same day. The push comes as medical experts prepare for a potentially more active flu season.

rochelle walensky· cdc· influenza· flu shot· vaccine

1:22:53 Dr. Jen is back to tell us about something very exciting, which is the flu's coming back! Also something from the CDC director telling everybody get your vaccine but... Get your vaccine but... Also something from the CDC director telling everybody get your vaccine but... That's right so... Influenza and the CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky made some news yesterday just reminding people how seriously we need to take influenza you can get both vaccines on the same day or you can get your flu shot out the same day as you get a COVID-19 booster. You can get it anytime from now through April, it's never too late. The concern this year by the way is that we didn't see a lot of influenza last year so some of the residual immune protection that we normally can carry into the next flu season...we don't have it and

1:23:43 And remember, this is not a perfect vaccine. But some protection always better than none. When does that protection kick in on the flu vaccine? Two weeks after I'm glad you asked. Okay. Dr Ashton we thank you. Have you seen your flu shot yet? No and i do every year Oh she hasn't even had her flu shot yet the good doctor Yeah yeah so it just went away and its back It's crazy! Its really phenomenal how these things work but they think were stupid They really do think we're... Have you watched Matt Taibbi's podcast, his video? Or have you listened to his podcast recently. I think he... We've had clips of it. Recently? Yeah recently. I'm concerned about a year ago but haven't clipped it recently. I'm a little concerned about him. I think he may have some kind of adverse reaction to the vaccine or something

Kamala Harris and the NASA Observatory Event

Vice President Kamala Harris participated in a NASA event at an observatory with middle school students, which has drawn criticism for her "strange" demeanor. During the event, she spoke about the "ambition" of seeing the moon and craters through a telescope. Observers noted the scripted nature of the interaction and questioned her effectiveness in public engagements.

1:24:41 Well, tell me why. Listen to this listen to the sounds he's making What I don't understand is...I mean no one cares about people care about debt when it's brought up It's not like an inherently distressing thing What is that? Look come on something wrong with Matt Taibbi Something wrong with him Oh man. There is something wrong, listen to this... oh hold on a second why am I not hearing anything? Well that's weird. Oops!

Thales Digital ID Wallet and the Future of Identity

A promotional video from Thales showcases a "Digital ID Wallet" that integrates government services, vaccination records, and travel documents into a single smartphone app. The promo depicts a user named "Lucy" using the app for mandatory vaccinations, bank onboarding, and bar entry via QR codes. Critics argue this technology represents a move toward a "utopian" surveillance state with significant security risks.

1:27:23 So I can't find that she has any kids. Not on the Wiki page." I thought she had... Well, she's an auntie. Auntie! She's an auntie. That's what it is. Now I'm a little pissed off. I had this great clip that i was going to end with which is about this Talas digital ID wallet and I'd kind of tightened it up and so the clip I had has no modulation for some reason. "...stepmother mother to her husband's two children How old are they? Are they still in the house... They can't be in the house. She acts like an idiot around these children. There's no age on here, I don't know. So anyway so I really want to play this promo from the Talas digital ID wallet because that kind of fits in with all of these children and the world they're going to have

1:28:22 But you screwed it up. Well, I can play it is just... It's about 30 seconds longer so it's about two and a half minutes yeah I think if you don't like it let me know then we'll change it here we go It's a girl in bed waking up. First thing she does, of course... Hello everyone! Meet Lucy. She's in psychology and me her digital ID wallet issued by the government to offer a wide range of identity services In fact I'm a handy way of proving and protecting her identity both online and face-to-face Let's have a closer look at what i can do. I can help governments to better communicate with citizens

1:29:02 Right now, I'm reminding Lucy of the appointment she needs to schedule for her mandatory vaccination. Time to go to her exam! Lucy is a bit stressed out. I'm here to make it easy for her to prove she is the right candidate. Scanning QR codes! And secure connection between her phone and the examiners. Making sure you're the right slave. Nope, scan perfect. Good to go This is the part I cut out

1:29:50 Exam passed successfully. Quick stop at the doctor's before celebrating, and no time to lose! On the way, Lucy uses me to declare her passport lost. Oh No! But do you need one anymore? I mean who... She needs it for her upcoming road trip. No issue. She can request an emergency digital passport without having to go to the authorities. I make official admin a lot smoother. And that's not all! I can also help Lucy request a birth certificate, pay her taxes or prove who she is when on-boarding to new services such as opening a bank account.

1:30:30 Why does she need any of that stuff if this passport has already done all that work in advance? Well, exactly. The passport thing I think they make a mistake but the way I read it is they're trying to transition you into thinking only digital passports like who needs the paper thing its stupid I lost and got stolen doesn't matter! You can now have it in your digital ID wallet from Thales I mean, that's the point. This is a great life this lady is having! It's almost over. Her life that is... Yes She's a healthcare coverage entitlement. This is gonna be a beautiful world to decide whether to authorize the doctor To access her medical records or not ensuring her control over her personal data Lucy needs one more thing before being all set for her trip to Australia I Help her share her driver's license credentials online Oh, yeah So that she doesn't have to wait hours in a queue to collect the car when she gets to Brisbane Q

1:31:34 All right. The rental company benefits from secure and accurate information, and Lucy from a smooth experience notice how they benefit on a second. How is that going to change the amount of time you wait for the damn car or have to get? You get off a plane, you get through the airport there's the I don't see how you can do what they're claiming. Oh no! Of course it just has your driver's license on it. You still have to show up No, no. You don't understand how the wallet functions! So you've already guaranteed yourself and payment, and then when you walk out of the plane to the car rental we just scan the QR code and get into your car. There's nothing else that is like the Hertz Gold Club. It's nothing special. Well it's also like that old Emerald club. You just jump in a car and grab anyone yeah yeah And then you show the card as you're leaving through the exit. You still have to do that Yeah but that's on your phone! That's on your phone

1:32:30 How is that more convenient? What if my phone's dead, what if the battery died. I got an Apple phone like so the battery died and I can't replace the battery I gotta take it in for service. Like where I can pop the back off like a can on a good cheap phone and put a new battery in it now I have to... Now I've got a dead phone So what am I gonna do? What happens when my phone goes dead? You go you do not pass GO and collect your boomer status Lucy's friends are waiting for her inside the bar. To allow her to get in, I simply generate a QR code that proves Lucy is old enough so she doesn't have to share all of her ID details with the bar staff.

1:33:17 Who has friends who are hackers and computer nerds. They can't generate a phony QR code, and that she can just flash that... Can they? Why would she do that?! She's happy with her life this way! I don't understand why you're pushing back this is utopian So yes, I'm Lucy's best companion. See? I protect her identity and official credentials wherever she goes. And she's- I provide secured access to public and private services... ...and allow her to have full control over her data privacy. In other words- Get back in the bed! give the right access to the right data. One more thing, I'm also trusted by governments to best support countries digital transformation fighting against these guys can hold on just listen to the last 30 seconds she's in the bar. She gets pickpocketed The system is well known to everybody that pick pocket grabs this thing punches up a car rental

Jumps in a car drives it to Mexico as part of a car thievery ring and ships it off to Europe! What's to prevent that from happening consistently? In fact he can rent two or three cars and drive into Mexico and have them shipped off somewhere to Middle East Well, I'm just waiting for you to say this will not be successful. It will not take off! Please say it please! I think its a winner. Ah dammit! Because if you say its not going to be successful it'll be huge!! I give the right access...to the right data..to the right person. I am also trusted by governments to best support countries digital transformation fight against ID fraud and deliver smooth public services. I AM THE TALIS DIGITAL ID WALLET There ya go

1:35:18 Yeah. She's very excited about this life and I think a lot of people will think, this is very handy! No she's person real person and she did not interact with any men during her whole day. She was only around women and coffee and by herself a lot And her best companion is her digital ID wallet And yeah, there's all kinds of holes but you know I think that people... All holes.

Saturday Night Live Ratings and Social Media Strategy

Saturday Night Live's season premiere with Owen Wilson saw a 50% drop in ratings compared to the previous season closer, leading the show to bring in Kim Kardashian to boost viewership. In response to mainstream media decline, the hosts promote decentralized social media platforms like No Agenda Social on the Mastodon network. Listeners are encouraged to join the "Troll Room" for live show interactions.

1:36:07 And it's changing the mass hysteria to compliance with ease. With ease! Not to people that listen to this show I'm sorry? I said not to the people that listened at this show No, but we have to alert the people that listen to this show what to look out for because the zombies can be dangerous and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage, say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in John C. Dvorak today! John C. Dvorak everybody! In the morning to you Mr. Abner Korean, in the morning we have a recipient of Sea Boots and Rafi near our subsidized water also in the morning all the dames and knights out there... In the morning to the trolls in The Troll Room hanging out at trollroom dot io where they are doing their thing they troll along uh I did ask if someone could give me

1:37:00 ratings, the overnight ratings for... I don't know if they make them anymore. For Saturday Night Live so i'm going to ask you that one more time while I have your attention and hands up let me see all their scurrying around we have 2 281 trolls on deck welcome trolls it's good to Sunday is good to be alive good to be a podcaster So why did you want the Overnights for Saturday Night Live? In my further quest to find out how big the meltdown is of the M5M, their opening season opener last week with Owen Wilson debuted 50% less than the season closer last year. And so they brought in the big guns last night and they had Kim Kardashian I mean that's desperation

1:37:49 Because Owen Wilson, and it was not a bad show. It was just people don't give a shit as I keep predicting. Owen Wilson should be able to bring in a lot more than they did and 50% is a huge issue. And so then they bring in the big guns so I wanted to know if that had worked out at all? The fact that there's no news about it is probably telling but I think its important to know So that's trollroom.io trolls come on get on the stick I'm doing other things here because they produce you know, they do they produce troll stuff You can join him at troll room dot IO and listen live to a no agenda show many other live shows and podcasts It's a 24 hour stream No agenda stream calm And again, you can get straight to the trolls or the stream by going to troll room dot io and if that's too much

CHAPTER 31 / 55 Discussion

Episode 1388 Cover Art Selection and Artist Feedback

The cover art for episode 1388, titled "The Sandwich Generation," was created by Mountain J and features an FBI "Department of Internet Justice" badge. The hosts discuss other submissions from artists like Daron O'Neill and the use of specific visual tropes like starbursts. Feedback is provided on the monochromatic nature of the winning piece and the time constraints faced by contributing artists.

1:39:31 which was the FBI face bag investigation badge, Agent 33 Department of Internet Justice on the case. And I think we both agreed easily on that one but i think there was some other stuff we talked about do you recall what we were looking at? Well yeah there's a couple things um... I thought there is a lot of pieces that were good It was one specific thing we... A lot of spy versus spy, which is like no. Yeah I just mentioned it wasn't very good. We weren't gonna do that. Um..I don't see it whatever it was. I did like the Mona. The pantheneal cow in the field? I thought that was funny! You did like that you did like the Mona Where did where did it go? I don't see the Mona anymore. It's at the very bottom on the page Oh yes there it is

1:40:29 And there's a couple CIA things that Daron O'Neill did, a couple obvious pieces. We ended up I think both choosing the face bag investigation badge... Actually you liked the Kenny Ben not-a-spook girl. No, I didn't like it. Yeah, I tended to like the bordering on cheesecake but the problem again it had the starburst in the background And there's a number of pieces that employed it, but we're not going to use that for awhile because we used it with the... what's her name? A piece which is a communist. What was her name? Greta. Oh yeah exactly!

1:41:10 And it had a starburst in the background. This has a starburst, there's a couple other starbursts and you know you don't have to use one for awhile it just uh... It's not gonna work. I didn't like the face bag investigation unit that much because it was monochromatic and I'd like the badge made out of silver or something that would've liked better We would have liked to see them yeah we would like this seemed a little bit better but it was classic no agenda it had all the elements in there I think we're pretty happy. Yeah, it was a good one and good piece but again, I'd like to put it then again at the artists have like they don't know how much time they spend on any one piece. I know Darren O'Neill does about five so he spends about 20 minutes max. So I think 20 minutes is probably what somebody will spend on these that they have unless you really have a great idea and they had to tune it up

CHAPTER 32 / 55 Discussion

Italian Podcasting Festival and Megyn Kelly Interview

One of the hosts spoke at the Italian Podcasting Festival, sharing the "Podfather" rules for audience growth and the "Value for Value" model. An upcoming live interview with Megyn Kelly on SiriusXM is announced for Tuesday, where the host plans to discuss Podcasting 2.0. Tips from listeners on how to handle the interview are acknowledged.

italian podcasting festival· megyn kelly· podcasting 2.0· value for value· siriusxm

1:42:07 So I don't know, to make a metallic badge at the spur of the moment like that unless you already have a template is probably impossible. Although you can steal somebody else's badge and then just erase it but then ruin them in the metallic aspect. Nah! It was probably the best that could be done. I spoke for about 20 minutes at the Italian podcasting festival. Yayyyy the Italian Podcasting Festival, which was a real thing. It was partially in person but mainly online and Willow of course gave me... gave me a great line to use for my opening I wrote it down because i knew that I would forget it here is anyone who can speak italian? Buongiorno a tutti! A quelli belli e anche a quelli brutti

1:43:04 Which means? Good morning to everybody, good morning to all the beautiful people and all the ugly people. And she said that would kill! Did it?! Well... It killed with the organizers because of course I'm doing this to a dead camera right there's no feedback from them from the audience it's worse you know I just see myself so like cover that up. Things that kill usually do need an audience as opposed to just... Exactly exactly but It's like my spasm joke, which I used in Vancouver once. Just say spasm the guy says to me you'll get a big laugh and I said spasm and I got a big laugh You had no idea why but it was good enough for you? I still have no idea who cares who cares Spasm is good to go Did you do Megan Kelly well no wait i was gonna say one of what is one of the things that That I thought that I talked about people always want to know how do I make money And how do I grow my audience

1:44:03 That is your typical podcast conference. So I said, well, I'm going to tell you how and the first thing you do... Podfather rule of thumb is very simple when you release on the same day approximately at the same time always that's what you need You need to do that Oops hold on a second October 9 Telecast SNL drew was up from last week's premiere but not much They went from a 3.5 to a 3.8, they're dead in the water." Okay so I said the first thing you need to do is because people live towards that time frame. You know most people don't listen to The Noah Jenner Show on Sunday they listen on Monday and if they get up at four in the morning they know it's going to be there for them. So these are the things that are important and

1:45:02 If you have the, even if you're just doing a different color do something with your artwork on every single show. It's free advertising it's free marketing it's free attention space that you can manipulate and it works in pretty much every podcast app people will see something new and something different and that is one of the successes of The No Agenda Show. You have a good tip there People that don't have all this cash of artists that we have. Well, but I'm saying... Let's say you get a well-designed logo or art piece just change the background color there are infinite number of colors every which is changed. Filters! You do your Obama filter, you know that stylized one? Yeah, you can do a lot. Just do it yourself with Photoshop is very simple

1:45:53 But above all, to be completely successful you want to use a decent podcast app. And you want one that's 2.0 so please try one get a better one at newpodcastapps.com and yes Megyn Kelly is Tuesday and I will be preaching No Agenda and 2.0 to Megyn Kelly...I hope! It's coming? So in other words this Tuesday? Yeah it's live on Tuesday It's live. It's live! I'm doing it live! But it's only on XM Sirius... Whatever And then, and then it's on the podcast so her podcast is The SiriusXM whatever. And what does it post? Does she follow your rules? I don't know unlikely No, I doubt that Megyn Kelly follows any of my rules Anyway You don't know that So but thank you everybody for giving me some tips On how to approach the interview

CHAPTER 33 / 55 Discussion

Shirtless Interview Strategy Tangent

A humorous suggestion is made for the host to conduct the Megyn Kelly interview shirtless to create "viral activity." The "dad bod" aesthetic is jokingly proposed as a way to distract from the message. The idea is quickly dismissed as a "not good look" before moving to the donor segment.

megyn kelly· interview· humor· viral· shirtless

1:46:52 Which is just play into her stuff. She hates woke schools, although I'd like to stay away from that and... Hates woke schools? What does that mean? Oh my gosh she took our children out of school in Manhattan! Oh woke schools! Yes. Yeah well what's it got to do with you? Um i have another tip we talked about this and I gave you a couple ideas but I have another idea one final idea I think will work okay shirtless How about a shirtless? Give me your theory, please. Tell me how this works. Okay you go on and get no shirt on just there bare chested. Am I showing my nipples or am I just showing chest hair? Of course yeah! And am i showing my dad bod? All the way down to my waistline? You're gonna be what lower waist high

1:47:55 It's just gonna be whatever you normally would be, only it's gonna be shirtless. I can't wait for the punchline John! That is the punch line now and the thing is that'll...it'll be distracting enough and so unusual you get a lot of viral activity. Ha ha! That won't detract at all from my message do you think? Dude, it's not a good look Go for it! Shirtless Instead of that, why don't we just thank our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1389 of the No Agenda Show. These are the people who brought The Treasure Of The Trifecta, the Time Talent treasure and we kick it off with Sonja from Barneveld Wisconsin. It's a Dutch name Barneveld Wisconsin. Probably pronounced barn-veld. Barn-Veld yeah $1,000 and she says this instant night is for my recently departed husband Jim

Yeah? She's she's failing for some reason I had the played the That's so weird like I get a some kind of format error, okay? North Korean news lady this very interesting that you would ask for that again and an r2d2 karma. That's one of our first That's one of the oldest things we still have in the archive You've got karma there was a time when that was being asked for every single segment

2:16:41 And just kind of fell away by the wayside. I'm gonna go through the archives of our jingles and do a special report on the ones that haven't been used for awhile Okay, good! Because i think there's a few of them that could use a little bit of... they could be used again because some of this stuff is totally... Totally Alright, we got... Did you find an email from Rebecca Braun? Oh no. Rebecca Braun I could not find anything under the name Rebecca nothing under the name Braum and nothing with a subject line donation And even since I had a little extra time I looked on their subject line note So I found none of those things so she's not maybe she's sending it'll be coming in a month or two But she got Rebecca Braun is good for $201.33 Thank You! Thank you very much

2:17:30 Now this next note is interesting because it says, it's from Anonymous in Oostburg Wisconsin. Another Dutch name in Wisconsin By the way I got a message for you about Wisconsin Hold on a sec Got a message for you from producer Robert in Wisconsin Then he sent in a whole long thing, but his voice is actually kind of good so I figured i'd play the message for you. John's probably getting the letters anyway for implying that Wisconsin is racist place Did you say Wisconsin was race? I think you did didn't ya? No! I never said Wisconsin was racist

2:18:11 What I said was, they sent the black girl up there to do the report knowing it's all white and maybe she'll get harassed. Yeah that's very different than saying they're racist! Well anyway here is Wisconsin interpretation... God bless John, but he's mistaken. It just falls under my theory of broadcasting and that is if you talk long enough eventually you will say something profoundly stupid But then his reasoning is he has proof that Wisconsin's not racist. Here comes and yeah, there's more interracial couples in Wisconsin than I've seen anywhere and That doesn't mean it's not racist kind of a racist thing to say Proof he's a racist. I have a friend who's black Oh, I encourage those kinds of emails

2:19:18 Now, what is this next one? This is uh... Anonymous. It says page 7. It says anonymous but I'm not getting that was- Well I'm getting a- This is from Oostburg 20102 That's from Baron of the Great Lakes Watershed Would that be right for Wisconsin? Yeah! This would be it because it's the predator- All it says is Predator Drone as the note Oh well we have that I have two words for you Predator Drones You will never see it coming Yeah this is Do you think I'm joking? This is from Sir, a source familiar with the matter Baron of the Great Lakes Watershed which i guess is semi-anonymous.

My human resource Odin has been harassing me since our road trip in March about donating I know my time was up when Adam revealed his anniversary May 19th is the same as mine.

14th Anniversary of the No Agenda Show

The No Agenda Show is approaching its 14th anniversary on October 26th, marking nearly 1,400 episodes of listener-supported content. The hosts reflect on the success of the "Value for Value" system, which avoids traditional advertising and CPM rates. The model was recently presented as a viable alternative for creators at the Italian Podcasting Festival.

anniversary· value for value· podcasting· gitmo nation· 14 years

2:23:20 89 we're getting there. We're getting very close to 1400 the 26th of this month is our 14th anniversary and it's not ours It's all of ours all of Gitmo nation you've been producing it You have been producing it since the low under 10 episodes I think we we caught on to the value for value system pretty early which also talked about extensively at the Italian podcast festival and I think they're into it. More people are seeing that it's probably an easier way to go to make something actually work with a group of people and not have to rely on having hundreds of thousands of listeners that can then be advertised at CPM rates, you don't want that. Pillows. Yeah, you really don't want that!

2:24:04 If you'd like to support this fantastic project 14 years almost in running then go to and we thank our producers for their time talent and treasure 1389 formula is this we go out we hit people in the mouth And there you have it yes indeed I did pick up a bunch of clips from this is

CHAPTER 39 / 55 Discussion

David Miliband and the International Rescue Committee

David Miliband, President of the International Rescue Committee (IRC), discussed the resettlement of over 50,000 Afghan refugees in the United States. The IRC operates with a budget of nearly $1 billion, largely funded by government grants. Miliband highlighted the challenges of housing and employment for refugees, while critics question the organization's political connections and funding.

david miliband· international rescue committee· afghanistan· refugees· resettlement

2:24:46 This one was, this just really had taken me aback. And it brings me to these rescue organizations and it brings up a bunch of rescue ideas. Hold on what do you mean rescue organizations? Rescue! Well let's play IRC You know how we've talked about Afghanis, mainly. Oh resettlement! Not rescue, resettlement? No no this is rescue. This is the International Rescue Committee and... Really now Sure it's not resettlement because they're all called resettlement agencies and now this is rescue. This is rescue, I'm telling you! And then the other thing that I have to do...I am going to pull an atom and read from their board of directors and trustees and your gonna go...Whaaat? My God these people are shameless

2:25:39 Try IRC Miliband 1 and just listen to who this is. have faded from view. But we wanted to know what has happened since and how the global effort to resettle Afghan refugees is going, so we've called David Miliband he is president and CEO of the International Rescue Committee one of the leading groups working to help David Miliband thank you so much for joining us once again Thank you so much for your interest in this really important story Now Miliban was... Was he

2:26:20 He's the brother of, I think it was Edward Miliband. The other Miliband who is the head of labor in the UK for like 10 years? 5 years? Wait a minute this is David Miliband who we're hearing? Yeah and he was also in parliament! Yeah I thought David Miliband was... He was also a Labour politician Yes yes These are guys who... This is the ticket, man. You get in once you serve your time and then you can write, do whatever you want make millions Wait until I go over the list. And then I have a question for ya too at the end Don't start cheating!

2:27:07 Part two, well I might. No we know you! Part two, this one ends with a question for you So first as we said your group the IRC is one of a number helping Afghan refugees do you have a sense of how many Afghans are looking to be resettled around the world right now? Yes, we do. The International Rescue Committee has about 1700 staff in Afghanistan and we're also the largest refugee resettlement agency here in the US with 25 offices across the country and a partnership with the U.S government at the government facilities where Afghans are arriving so we're registering all of those Afghans who are arriving in the United States Wow! Get this A-hole out of our country

2:27:58 How many Afghanistanis have they brought into the United States and registered? And they've got them just... Just them. Yeah, just them. Uh in what time period since we pulled out of Afghanistan yeah yes since we pulled out 20 000. Play clip three oh sorry I should have been ready for that So I say 20,000? Yeah. What we know is that over 50,000 of those who made it to Kabul airport have now made it to the US and they are being processed to make sure that their documentation is right, that they figure out any U.S ties because some of them have

2:28:42 relatives here, that they get their health care sorted out and then they're able to move into the community so that they can begin the passage to work and to American life. I want to talk about two distinct groups of people-the people who are already... Now he didn't really say that they have done it but they certainly a lot of it. A lot of it! They have done it in the United States. And there's more, that's not even as he follows up. Yeah, I'm going back to people the people who are already in the United States and the people who are still overseas a number of countries assisted with the evacuation of civilians after the Taliban took control of Kabul in mid-August but we do understand that many people were flown to third countries to wait for their applications for special visas to be processed about 15 000 people is that about right? There's about fifteen thousand people who are in the care of the U.S government

2:29:39 in third countries. They're often in US military bases around the world and they're on their way here there's another group who are not in the care of the U.S government but found their way out through charities I'd number them more in the hundreds than in the thousands, but in countries like Mexico or Uganda or countries as far-flung as Mexico and Uganda there are Afghans there who need our help this is interesting also enraging at the same time my neighbors are trying to pull American citizens out of Afghanistan with gliders and gaffer tape. And this a-hole is just bringing in Afghanis, Afghans I should say, for money!

2:30:24 Huge, huge. Oh billions this outfit I'm sure gets billions and dollars from the United States government USAID or the Resettlement Agency oh it's got to be billions they don't get I can tell you right now They don't get billions their budget for last year It wasn't anything close to billions it was 825 million dollars that's not even close to a billion huh? $825 billion and it's up from the year before, which was another 790 million. And let's play the last clip or this not the last but the second to last clip. So so it's almost a billion? It's just short of a billion. And what are their circumstances talk about that if you would like what is the process for assisting these folks

2:31:17 Well, the Afghans who have made it to the United States on the one hand they are and they know it. They're the lucky ones. They have safety. They have a clear path albeit sometimes a bureaucratic one to register here to be able to make a new life to get on the path to a green card and to citizenship Thanks to some work in Congress last week, there is now funding for them to arrive and there are guarantees about their healthcare and their health insurance and their employment status. So they know that they are on the right side of history in that sense. They also know – and this is a tragic story because I was last week meeting

2:31:57 Afghans at one of the government facilities where we're working in Virginia. And for every Afghan who's here, they've got in many cases 6 10 15 relatives who are still in Afghanistan sometimes they're very close relatives, brothers and sisters. And so the Afghans who are here are pulled in two directions on the one hand relief on the other hand, fear for the relatives who are still in the country. And so there's a real sense of trauma I think among the Afghans who've made it albeit with a high and heavy sense of gratitude to the U.S. for taking them in. In your opinion what are some of the obstacles to getting people resettled? The biggest obstacles are first of all the cost of housing

2:32:38 Secondly, we know it's a tight labor market so there is chance to get jobs. No it's not! We need to do better job of matching the Afghans who are arriving some whom have high skills translators for example others who have less skills and we need to match them properly into employment and also there is softer side which is that these people been through trauma And it's one thing for a six-year old or an eight year old or ten year old who has seen gunfire, who has seen bombing. Who have seen the kind of scenes that you saw at Kabul airport is one thing to find that child a school It's another thing to help them find the kind of mind space and calm To be able to learn especially given its new language and its whole new world for them

2:33:26 So like they said, I expect to come over and get a house. Wait wait wait wait! It's a whole new language? I thought these were supposed to be interpreters. Ha ha ha! No! It's a whole new language?! They're just the lucky ones who managed to get out Yeah And of course anyone who has some political any sway with this jamoke because that's what it is This is just buddies friends and getting paid for too is great What an incredible scam Defund the IRC Good luck. Defund it? And Miliband, what a creep! So here we go with some of these people on here in the board of directors yes Tim Geithner oh my goodness who but Tim Geithner wait wait where do we know him from He was the Treasury Secretary Oh that's right little Timmy yes yes yes little Timmy Geithner Liv Ullman, Liv Ullman Zayed Al Hussein is the former UN Human Rights Chief

CHAPTER 40 / 55 Discussion

IRC Board of Directors and Elite Connections

The Board of Directors and advisors for the International Rescue Committee (IRC) include high-profile figures such as Tim Geithner, Madeleine Albright, and Henry Kissinger. Connections to the Open Society Foundation and the Blinken family are noted, suggesting the organization serves as a "drinking club" for the global elite. Media figures like Scott Pelly and Arthur Sulzberger Jr. are also linked to the group.

She's 95 years old and he's Tony's dad and the two of them, Donald and Vera Blinken have the open Open Society Foundation archives have been renamed the Vera Blinken and Donald Blinken Archives. Oh, that says it right there doesn't it? In fact, to such an extent that I'm looking into this. Anthony Blinken was grilled by Congress during his...during the time that they were giving him the go-ahead to be Secretary of State and by the way his background blows he's... Oh Tony Blinken? He has no business being Secretary of State! He is a nude nick so he got grilled by one of the senators about his connections to Soros which is what the Open Society is yeah and it was society foundation

2:36:25 And he's, oh I don't know. Never heard of the guy so anyway onward with a few more names Michael Blumenthal Mary Boyes who is I believe from the lawyer from the law firm.

CHAPTER 41 / 55 Discussion

World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders List

The World Economic Forum's (WEF) "Young Global Leaders" program has identified and trained numerous influential figures in politics, tech, and media. The list includes Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, Mark Zuckerberg, and various European heads of state like Emmanuel Macron. Critics argue this network promotes a "Great Reset" and a globalist agenda that undermines national sovereignty.

world economic forum· young global leaders· klaus schwab· great reset· globalism

2:38:09 You may. This is from an excellent article, expose I would say from the Swiss policy research who I think are pretty decent, and they did a whole piece called the World Economic Forum and the Pandemic. And they show all of the connections between the World Economic Forum obviously event 201 how all these things correlate and according to the Swiss research It's all about the digital identity, which of course is why we have the TALIS Digital Wallet ID and all these things. But the research points specifically to the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders.

2:38:57 And this is one of these programs where they identify, it's kind of like a Rhodes Scholar might be fair to say. They identify someone hey we could use this one, this ones smart here's a whippersnapper let's get them as quick as possible while they're still young and tell that can be global leader. Tulsi Gabbard is actually one of them actually but listen to the list United States. So this is the young global leaders at one point, many of these go back to the late 90s but a lot of them are in the 2000's from politics and policy. Jeffrey Zients who is now I think he's actually running a lot of the coronavirus stuff Gavin Newsom Pete Buttigieg Chelsea Clinton Huma Abedin Nikki Haley

2:39:52 Samantha Power, Ian Bremmer Bill Browder Magnitsky Act anybody? Jonathan Soros yes son of George Kenneth Roth Paul Krugman who is you know the guy recommending the trillion dollar coin Larry Summers your former Treasury Secretary Alicia Garza of course co-founder of Black Lives Matter and Stephan Bancel, the CEO of Moderna. It's crazy how these people wind up in these groups from the media CNN medical analyst Lena Nguyen. She was selected in 2018. CNN chief medical correspondent Sanjay Gupta also known as Jose to friends Andrew Ross Sorkin

2:40:51 Douchebag extraordinaire CNBC Thomas Friedman, formerly New York Times. Yes your buddy Thomas Friedman. Yep George Stephanopoulos and of course Lachlan Murdoch current CEO of Fox Corporation oh yeah all good now I'll tell you this there's more that's a nicer mixture of the two parties co-joined over this bullcrap than the one I did. The list I played was almost exclusively Democrats with the exception of Kissinger, who's been neutral character. That's just a gang of assholes! This is people who have money and power as motive so we have Bill Gates of course Steve Ballmer Jeff Bezos

2:41:37 Google co-founders Sergei and Larry, Eric Schmidt also these were all young global leaders. And he Eric Schmidt was a young leader in 2001 He was actually selected in 1997 ha go figure that was early in the game Jimmy Wales of Wikipedia Peter Thiel, PayPal co-founder. Pierre Omidyar, Drive My Car, eBay founder and co-founder. And of course Intercept co-founder with Glenn Greenwald who had to leave because it was so crazy. Mark Zuckerberg, Young Global Leader 2009. Of course Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg also a young global leader are we getting the picture? Are we getting the picture here?!

2:42:19 Take a quick look at the great Britain, Tony Blair Gordon Brown. Let me see Lynn Forster, The Rothschild she co-owns The Economist and Nathaniel Rothschild Neil Ferguson William Hague Charles Allen who was EMI chairman in New Zealand not surprising you've seen that you've seen this testing for the Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, Trudeau. Surprise surprise! Oh I'm sorry Trudeau oh this is interesting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a World Economic Forum participant but not a confirmed young global leader that is interesting maybe that's why he's going all in you know to show that they were wrong they should have chosen him You know that's funny say that because

2:43:20 My first impression was, well at least he got that right. But then your interpretation which is the opposite... Yeah! ...is probably right I what was i thinking? He was too wishy-washy even for the young global leaders And I'll wind it up with the European Union, of course EU Commission President Jose Manuel Borroso Jean-Claude Juncker. Oh man! Junker he was fun. Oh yeah young guy, young guy. Young global leader Juncker Well he was selected in 1995 He wasn't young in 1995 I don't know how old he was in 1995 It's been a while Macron

2:44:07 Nikola Sarkozy, Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz who you would expect would be not in a globalist group but there he is. Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi Spanish prime minister former Spanish prime minister Aznar Guy Verhofstadt Belgian prime minister and of course chair of the Brexit steering group I mean this is how it works these are the groups the group you mentioned But this one as well, they've been planning the takeover or whatever they wanted to do. Or this change or great reset of whatever that was pushing for I think that this is all jacked and jitty. Jacked and jitty! They love it so much And its working out perfectly How about the jobs report? It was supposed to be half a million jobs what did you get 180? That was 250

2:45:05 250, but they expected much more right? Oh yeah. They're always wrong But these globalists which really do not want us to have a country You'll have to realize it or like you not want the United States of America to exist Yeah I would agree Every with a name on every name on that list that you mentioned especially the Americans I would really question their their acceptance of the United States as a country. I think they're anti-American, obviously anti American and they want to global kind you know they want one world government. I mean i'm sure few have been convinced that it will be run by the Americans but now this is no borders, no countries, no people, no nations... I am not even sure if America should be running in fact I don't think the globalists really want that anymore

2:46:00 I think we've been passed over. They want the Chinese, if anybody... Yeah, they want the Chiners. Where's the Chiners in this whole list? Is there a list of them in there? No! Of course not! These people are selling out the United States It's nothing that we normally talk about but it is obvious by what these organizations belong to And they all want the same things. And Miliband isn't on either one of those lists He's too busy making money Him and Tony Blair cashing in bigly. Oh, I got a better theory about the new crackdown should this if this build back better plan passes

CHAPTER 42 / 55 Discussion

IRS $600 Bank Account Tracking Proposal

A proposal within the Build Back Better plan would allow the IRS to track bank accounts with as little as $600 in annual transactions. While proponents claim the measure targets wealthy tax evaders, critics point out that a $600 threshold would affect nearly every working American. The move is viewed as a step toward a social credit-style compliance system.

irs· bank accounts· build back better· taxes· surveillance

2:46:44 I mean, we are really screwed. These people are crazy! The stuff they've got in packed into this or at least what we're being told is going to be in it... So the $600 limit any bank account that has six hundred dollars in it will be eligible for flows in and out to be tracked by the government That's part of their actual plan if it passes? I don't know and and I've been trying to figure out the six hundred dollar number on the last show I said this possibly the UBI, the stimulus check $600. It's actually much simpler. A lot of notes on this. Yeah well here's the note I got 40 hour work week 15 dollars an hour that's your 600 right there so interesting keep telling yourself they're looking for billionaires cheating. Fifteen dollar-an-hour job

2:47:41 It's gonna be so cool once they get the credit rating system towards the government, which they've already said they want to do. And it will make everyone so compliant! Yeah well there are already showing compliance that feel fealty. Yes I look you know i got the latest fealty proof for you. Now its just ASMR stuff...it's only an audio sound But the field tea is being tested, not just with the vaccines. But I think TikTok...the TikTok trends and this is a make no mistake at least the infrastructure that algo of Tiktok is Chinese and the voice stuff that's all that's Chinese infrastructure

CHAPTER 43 / 55 Discussion

TikTok Scalp Popping Trend and Historical Fads

A dangerous new TikTok trend called "scalp popping" involves pulling hair until the skin audibly detaches from the skull. This is compared to historical college fads like "goldfish swallowing," which reportedly began at Harvard in 1939. The discussion highlights the role of Chinese-owned TikTok algorithms in spreading bizarre and harmful behaviors among youth.

tiktok· scalp popping· goldfish swallowing· harvard· social media trends

2:48:26 So these TikTok trends, I don't know if you've been following that but kids are destroying bathrooms. This was the lick test which turned... The lick test? Yeah the lick test turning to destroy the bathroom and this is just fealty testing so the latest is scalp popping heard of this nope I didn't even know it was possible I didn't know what's a thing It doesn't seem very healthy I have some sound as an example scalp popping is the latest trend where you grab a tuft of hair from by the scalp and you pull really hard so that then the skin pops from your scalp, from your bone. Here is a barber demonstrating with this scalp popping listen That's it. Clock clock here comes another one

2:49:30 It's disgusting. Why does anybody want to do this? Why does anyone want to trash a bathroom? Why did people used to swallow live goldfish? Hey, did you ever do that? No! Why would I wanna swallow alive goldfish?! Wasn't that thing back in the day? In the 1920s... No my parents did it in uh...I think in college Well that was in the 1920s I'll bet. No! That was in the 1960. You don't remember that was part of streaking and the goldfish swallowing? I remember streaking, streaking was very popular you don't remember goldfish swallowing no that was it was not in the west coast nobody out here is that dumb oh man! No you guys are geniuses over there smartest one in the pack here Wikipedia Goldfish Swallowing history

2:50:30 Let's see 1963 here we go. Although it is not clear how the fad emerged various people have made claims a 1963 letter to The New York Times claimed It was started by an and man named John C Lothrop Withington jr Was a freshman at Harvard and did so to win a $10 bet East Coast Harvardians as part of bid to become class president The stunt started a competition between multiple universities such as, here we go Penn East Coast MIT East Coast Yes and Missouri for somehow Missouri weaseled their way in. Yeah you're right. I suppose the Ivy League yeah Ivy League nut jobs but it was the thing my parents used to talk about it with with with You know they talked about it lovingly Oh remember the days We just swallow goldfish

2:51:23 So yeah, but there's all... Americans certainly do this. But this is a worldwide trend TikTok I'm telling you TikTok it's something fierce man It's a very very fierce system Alright um... Couple things to catch up on Okay Do you know about the row between the United States and Russia that nobody's talking about in the media? Between who? The United States and Russia Oh, yes of course I do. They're calling everybody spies and including Bellingcat which is cool. Bellingcat is that bull crap operation. Right one of those yeah well here's the diplomatic Russia versus US clip

CHAPTER 44 / 55 Discussion

U.S. and Russia Diplomatic Visa Dispute

U.S. senators are calling for the expulsion of 300 Russian diplomats if the Kremlin does not issue more visas for American embassy staff in Moscow. This follows a Russian ban on the U.S. embassy hiring local staff, which forced the termination of nearly 200 employees. The diplomatic row is part of a broader "quid pro quo" involving sanctions and foreign agent registrations.

2:51:23 So yeah, but there's all... Americans certainly do this. But this is a worldwide trend TikTok I'm telling you TikTok it's something fierce man It's a very very fierce system Alright um... Couple things to catch up on Okay Do you know about the row between the United States and Russia that nobody's talking about in the media? Between who? The United States and Russia Oh, yes of course I do. They're calling everybody spies and including Bellingcat which is cool. Bellingcat is that bull crap operation. Right one of those yeah well here's the diplomatic Russia versus US clip

2:52:15 More than a dozen senators are calling on President Biden to expel 300 Russian diplomats if the Kremlin doesn't issue more visas for Americans to represent the United States in Russia. In August, Russia banned the U.S. Embassy in Moscow from using non-U.S. staff members except as security guards. The State Department said the situation forced them to fire 182 employees and more contractors A letter from the senators says Russia has to issue enough visas to allow the U.S. Embassy to have about as many diplomats, as the Russian embassy does here. The letter asks Biden to send back 300 Russian diplomats if Russia doesn't comply. Earlier this year, the Biden administration expelled 10 Russian diplomats and imposed sanctions against several dozen individuals and companies. The administration blamed alleged Russian interference in elections and hacking campaigns for the move.

2:53:08 Yeah, let's see. I guess there is a New York Times news outlet or something? They also made the list BBC... But the Bellingcat, which is Dutch-based. The ones who kept saying oh the Russians shot down the plane. Yeah but they robbed them well that makes sense I got one other thing... That's a quid pro quo! We did the same to RT they have to register as foreign agents. Yeah that was the quid pro quo. I know RT is hard to come by now So, Trump gave a speech in Iowa and I have the redux of it just the whole thing summarized. But! But! But! I have to start with NPR's report on it in advance so we can hear what they think about Trump as if this is Trump NPR

Donald Trump Iowa Rally and 2024 Speculation

Donald Trump held a large rally at the Iowa State Fairgrounds, signaling a potential run for the presidency in 2024. NPR reports that 44% of Republicans believe he should run again, while Democrats overwhelmingly oppose his return to politics. During his speech, Trump criticized the Biden administration's handling of the border, inflation, and the Afghanistan withdrawal.

donald trump· iowa· 2024 election· rally· des moines

2:54:08 Former President Donald Trump is holding a rally in Iowa at this hour. NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben reports the move could be setting the groundwork for Trump to make another run for the presidency in 2024. Trump is speaking tonight at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines Several Iowa Republican politicians will also appear including Senator Chuck Grassley and Governor Kim Reynolds With well over two years to go until the 2024 Iowa caucuses, national polling shows that Republicans have further warmed to Trump in his absence from the White House. Two-thirds of Republicans and Republican leaners say he should remain a major national political figure. That's up 10 points from earlier this year according to a new poll from the Pew Research Center. And plurality of Republicans 44% said they think he should run for president in 2024

2:54:58 The poll also showed that Democrats overwhelmingly do not want Trump to remain a major political figure. Yeah, they are so obsessed and the only reason they're obsessed is because it's bringing back a little bit of ratings just a teeny weeny bring them back a little bit because they got Trump in the picture. Trump is still drawing huge crowds he said supposedly set some huge range... They show the camera cuz this was not done by the mainstream media. I saw the crowds were there Hours before once again, and they were yes there like days before yeah And they listen all these boring guys go on and on before Trump finally comes out late at night after the football game And you know he was watching He probably was but he it was like oh

2:55:46 I mean people, you know Biden meanwhile gets a tap in a couple of people clapping. So here's the but here's this it i believe this is summarizes the entire and all of speeches so far and they say this is indicating he's going to run again. He's given these speeches still every couple weeks Not as much as he used to, but he's still doing it. This is the Trump in Iowa. This is the redux this is everything that all these rallies are about. As we gather tonight millions of Americans are realizing that Joe Biden and the radical left have brought our nation to the brink of ruin there has never been anything like what has happened

2:56:23 After just nine months under Biden, violent criminals and bloodthirsty gangs are taking over our streets. Illegal aliens and deadly drug cartels are taking over our borders. Inflation is taking over our economy. China's taking over our jobs that Taliban has taken over Afghanistan Lunatic leftists are taking over our schools and radical socialists are taking over a country, and we're not gonna let that happen. Yeah he's hitting all the points man nailing it. It's just... And regarding the Taliban yesterday Thursday

Austin Sixth Street Violence and Urban Decay

A fatal shooting on Austin's famous Sixth Street has highlighted concerns over rising gang violence and urban decay in the Texas capital. Local news reports describe teenage boys engaging in gunfights, leading to a heavy police presence and business disruptions. The situation is cited as evidence of a decline in safety and quality of life in the city.

austin· sixth street· crime· police· texas

2:57:10 The US delegation met with the senior Taliban representatives in Doha again for a face-to-face. They're treating them as as a world stage player, yeah world stage player it's crazy and it's fun and Trump is right about a lot of things but this we left Austin to reenter the state of Texas And I have never seen it this bad. And and I feel bad for friends of mine who are showing up from out-of-state because this decay was well underway before the Californians got here

2:57:50 But now listen to what's going on. Every single night this is happening on our famous 6th Street. Austin's police chief tells us officers heard gunshots and started running here, to East Sixth Street and Sabine. And when they got here they saw a group of men shooting at each other One officer discharged his firearm. Orcaxian investigators were a block away with officers working on a special report One male victim. Here you can see officers performing life-saving efforts on the man shot and killed Okay, so what's dishonest about the report is these are teenage boys These are teenage boys and gangs fighting each other with guns on 6th Street in Austin That cost the city a lot of money to ruin their business on Sixth Street Well it got pretty ruined with the BLM riots because they ruined a lot only one day only

CHAPTER 47 / 55 Discussion

Senate Report on Trump and the Justice Department

A new Senate report details Donald Trump's alleged attempts to use the Justice Department to overturn the 2020 election results. The report claims Trump pressured acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen to declare the election corrupt and considered replacing him with Jeffrey Clark. The plan reportedly collapsed after senior DOJ officials threatened a mass resignation.

donald trump· justice department· bill barr· jeffrey clark· january 6th

2:58:43 And then the lockdowns. Oh no, it's a... Austin downtown is fake! It's fake! It's phony and now they've just made it into crap Back to Trump Here's what just a couple of two stories Just stay on top of what's happening with this January 6th Because you know they're gonna continue with I guess they're gonna impeach him a third time just to do it for the hell of it can impeach anybody we want. Here's ABC Good Morning America. This morning, former President Donald Trump threatening a showdown in the courts. The Biden administration green lighting the release of some confidential documents from the Trump White House saying they should be turned over to the house select committee investigating the attack on January 6th. The committee wanting to know what former president trump and his closest confidants

2:59:39 were doing moment to moment that day. This committee is investigating a dark day in our democracy, an attempt to undermine our constitution and democratic processes by the former president. In a letter to the National Archives where presidential records are preserved Biden's White House counsel said the documents could help the committee get to the bottom of the events that day And again I'll remind everybody They really think that their messaging system still works. It's leaky, people don't care! They're not watching, they don't care. You can say all you want, you can do as many reports as you want I don't think that the people are tuned out we stay tuned in because of this Senate report oh yeah Oh yeah now this is the smoking gun We got him now! Ah tipping point In early January Donald Trump attempted to use the Justice Department To effectively steal the presidential election According to a new senate report By the way

3:00:40 Great projection. This is just the best! In early January, Donald Trump attempted to use the Justice Department to effectively steal the presidential election according to a new Senate report that documents this brazen attempt by Trump to stay in power Former President Donald Trump would have shredded the Constitution to keep his office in the presidency There's no doubt in my mind Trump had been enraged when Attorney General Bill Barr said there was no widespread fraud in early December. Well, he hasn't done anything so he hasn't looked they haven't looked very hard which is a disappointment to be honest with you After Barr left in mid-December the report says Trump turned the screws on acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen to do what Barr had refused to do

3:01:25 But Rosen refused to. He told the Senate committee he said to Trump, the Justice Department quote can't and won't just flip a switch and change the election response. Trump asked the DOJ just say the election was corrupt and leave the rest to me and the Republican congressman hopefully In late December, Trump turned to an obscure environmental lawyer at DOJ named Jeffrey Clark who promised to do what Barr and Rosen would not do. Declare without evidence that there was widespread voter fraud into pressure states that Joe Biden had won to change their results At a dramatic three-hour Oval Office meeting on January 3rd Trump said he wanted to fire Rosen and make Clark acting Attorney General

3:02:06 Rosen told the committee Trump said to him quote, one thing we know is you Rosen aren't going to do anything to overturn the election. At the meeting Trump was told that every senior DOJ official other than Clark would resign if he went through with his plan White House counsel Pat Cipollone said he would resign too saying Trump's plan amounted to a quote murder-suicide pact and with that Trump reluctantly backed down There's your narrative Here's your narrative. It's a good one He almost did this he almost almost tore up the concert. He almost he almost but I mean even if completely 100% true Wow, the system worked I guess because he said alright so the system worked but ah such an evil man always thinking evil about shredding the Constitution and uh I'm still looking at these you know now we have the Detroit audits happening Michigan

CHAPTER 48 / 55 Discussion

Mike Lee and the Voter ID Racism Debate

During a Senate hearing, Senator Mike Lee questioned a Justice Department official, Ms. Clark, regarding the claim that voter ID laws are inherently racist. The official responded by stating that the discriminatory effect of such laws must be evaluated based on specific facts and access to ID. The exchange highlights the ongoing partisan divide over election integrity and voter suppression.

mike lee· voter id· racism· senate hearing· election integrity

3:03:02 and the absentee ballots or the mail-ins, it's very similar patterns. This will never be resolved there will not be any overturn of the election but I think... No there won't be but there will be some reforms There has got to be reforms! Then they have the reform people that had some woman on being grilled by various parties about about election fraud in the Senate. I got a clip with Mike Lee going after this woman... Ooh, haven't heard from Mike in a long time! Yeah he's going at this woman something-something Clark she's uh in the Justice Department and they're and Mike's yacking away about one thing or another then tries to get her to say what is what so racist she's black women

3:03:45 What's so racist about voter ID? And her answer to this was just like classic bureaucratic obfuscation. One of the things that I hear from you is that the average American's concern about the integrity of our elections is somehow based in racism. This is not Mike Lee the reporter I thought it was, this a different Mike Lee. No, no, I'm talking about Mike...this is Senate thing, Mike Lee the congressperson Oh okay, got it. That's Matt Lee. Matt Lee! Ah thank you. I'm reframed, I'm here And one of the things that I hear from you is that The average American's concern about the integrity Of our elections Is somehow based on racism Fortunately facts don't support that premise

3:04:30 Progressives have tried to label any integrity election protection procedure, such as the laws that have been passed for example in Georgia of late as somehow amounting to racist voter suppression. And yet, these provisions have strong support from voters across the political spectrum including among minority voters. So can you tell me Ms. Clark what exactly is racist about requiring a person to provide voter ID when participating in the precious sacred constitutionally protected process of voting?

3:05:08 Thank you, Senator. So the inquiry is whether or not a particular law is discriminatory and we won't know that until we actually look at the facts. We look at the particular law at issue and where it's being applied and are there racial disparities in terms of Who has access to example to the limited forms of ID that might be called for by a law? So I think the inquiry is about discriminatory effect and discriminatory purpose. I would note that this senator's gone conservatively over his time, but I didn't want to interrupt him but... Yeah, they cut him off. Yeah, of course shut up Wow Shut Up Douchebag!

3:05:57 So when is this, are they gonna have hearings? When does the big circus start do we have any idea so that we can deal with that? You know it's really hard I realize that we do more clips than most people do on from C-SPAN or Senate and House hearings but these guys are grandstanders. They're They don't get to the point fast. You have to do the same thing I do, you gotta cut out extremely long pauses. Yeah there's a lot of that. Where the guy will say something and then pause for two seconds... And then when you cut all the pauses out it sounds pretty okay and it still sounds like they're talking slow

Australian Beach Sunbathing Police Enforcement

A video from Australia shows police confronting a citizen for sunbathing on a beach, stating it is not an "essential reason" to be outside under COVID-19 public health orders. The officer threatened the individual with a fine and demanded identification, despite the citizen's arguments regarding common law. Australia's enforcement measures are described as a "worst-case scenario" for civil liberties.

Okay, we're not arguing points of law with you We're acting on the public health order You need to be outside for an essential reason You are in a hotspot zone for the COVID virus Unfortunately, we must enforce

CHAPTER 54 / 55 Discussion

DEA in Mexico and Final Show Credits

U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar is requesting that Mexican authorities allow DEA agents to resume work in the country following the removal of their immunity. The Mexican government had previously restricted foreign agents after concerns over intelligence abuses. The show concludes with credits for the "Troll Room" and end-of-show music mixes.

3:26:46 You know what I don't have? I do not have a single ISO. Uh... Well, I'm gonna have to like one of them because i don't have any so this is- Okay. Got ISO thank you Thank you so much for your interest Is that Miliband? Yeah That's funny! I like him yeah And then I got the Howl Hmmmm....I liked the howl but I think I liked the thank yous Thank you so much for your interest I think that's more rude Yeah, yeah I agree A little bit ruder Cool

3:27:39 Um, how about you do any of the C-SPAN stuff just to get us out on a humorous note? I don't think I have anything necessarily that would be...that we have to talk about. We got the Aussie guy. I got the Texas update on it. No! That's depressing. That's depressing. They always bring these women. It is depressing. Well they overturned the overturned right It's back on, it's back on. It's back off again. I do have a stupid report this is the DEA in Mexico...I think we have our nerve

3:28:22 U.S. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar says the US is asking Mexican authorities to allow DEA agents to work in Mexico The country pulled foreign agents' immunity from prosecution last year and imposed strict limits on their contacts with their Mexican counterparts Analysts say that affects the DEA's ability to gather intelligence on Mexican drug cartels This is pretty interesting We've got the CIA saying, we're coming We're coming! You've got these guys going like, can we please spy on your country? What is going on?! Well I guess the DEA had permission before and they were abusing the privilege so the Mexicans...and killing people. Oh oh fast and furious anyone? And so the Mexican government says no you get they kicked them out and now they're begging to go back in

3:29:17 So, that's kind of I think the back story. And people going to that, make sure to bring an envelope and then write if you're gonna give a donation. You should at the Adam room give it to Tina or keep it safer...and write a note with your name on inside the envelope End of show mixes from Tom Starkweather with a nice little anthology and Professor JJ coming in with some crack stuff Coming up next on NoahJennerStream.com you can troll away in The Troll Room the latest episode of Podcasting 2.0 the podcast

CHAPTER 55 / 55 Discussion

Outro and COVID-19 Narrative Montage

The episode concludes with a sound montage deconstructing the shifting narratives around COVID-19 vaccines, boosters, and mask mandates. Audio clips feature President Joe Biden, Dr. Anthony Fauci, and various news anchors discussing breakthrough infections and the "route to liberty" through vaccination. The final sign-off directs listeners to the show's website for further deconstruction.

3:30:08 Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country FEMA region number six in the governmental maps. In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry and for Northern Silicon Valley where we used to have parades in Chinatown on 1010 day but that's all done, I'm John C Dvorak We return on Thursday right here with more deconstruction please remember us at dvorak dot org slash na until then adios mofos and such We face a hostile ideology, global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose and insidious in method.

3:30:47 It's showing how American science and technology, American business and academia and our government can all work together. I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand to be mandatory but i would do everything in my power just like I don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide. Screw your freedom! Had to move toward requirements that everyone get vaccinated or I had the authority to do that My message is require your employees to get vaccinated. I want to thank Walmart Google, Netflix, Disney. Tyson Foods for their recent actions requiring vaccination for employees. You're getting inoculated or you're getting fired? Once you are vaccinated, you are no longer a threat to public health. Once I got vaccinated it was no holds barred. People who have the vaccine are still able to be infected by this virus and that virus is still able to replicate inside them. So people who are vaccinated can still get COVID. The PCR test came back

3:31:40 and it came back positive, and I just feel so bad. Athletes and politicians sharing their stories of contracting COVID even after being fully vaccinated. The role that vaccinated people play in spreading it? I don't know but I can tell you every state in the country had higher cases this summer than they did last summer So they might actually get the virus if they just completely let down their guard Okay thats interesting Vaccinated people may be able to transmit as easily as those who are unvaccinated That's for boosters committee When the data demonstrate that we are ready to give boosters, the government will be ready. We are planning right now. We've been working really actively just this whole last week to try and move the science, move the data to the American people. But the data is not going to change some of the numbers may change a little

3:32:27 little, but the conclusion will not change. We should expect tens of thousands perhaps of breakthrough infections. Vaccination is going to be in the end your route to liberty. You can still get the virus if you're vaccinated. You can still spread the virus if you're vaccinated. What you should do is get it as soon as you can and then in a most expeditious manner.
