About this episode

President Joe Biden sparked international alarm during a marathon press conference by suggesting a minor incursion by Russia into Ukraine might result in a fractured Western response. The remark stunned officials in Kyiv as White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki simultaneously warned of a Russian false flag operation involving pre-positioned operatives. This diplomatic friction coincides with new reports from Microsoft and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan regarding destructive malware targeting Ukrainian government networks.

Domestic policy shifts rapidly as Starbucks rescinds its vaccine mandate for 200,000 employees following a Supreme Court ruling, while Prime Minister Boris Johnson ends Plan B restrictions in England. In the United States, the federal launch of COVIDtests.gov faced immediate technical glitches for apartment residents, and Republican lawmakers led by Senator Ted Cruz demanded the FDA explain why it bypassed advisory committees for teen boosters. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal on the Ninth Circuit Boise ruling, effectively protecting the right of homeless individuals to camp on public property when shelter beds are unavailable. In Los Angeles, organized theft rings are successfully breaching international shipping containers on stationary trains despite heavy-duty security measures.

Boris Johnson Ends Plan B COVID Restrictions in England

Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the end of Plan B COVID-19 regulations in England, including the expiration of mandatory vaccine certification and work-from-home guidance. Face mask requirements in classrooms and public spaces are being removed as the government shifts toward trusting the judgment of the British people. The hosts express skepticism about whether the UK will maintain this reopening or face future lockdowns.

boris johnson· england· plan b· covid-19· face masks

03:21 Well, anyway. Although that is important I think it's good to know that war is over peace has returned we are free again and free at last if you're in the UK this morning the cabinet concluded because of the extraordinary booster campaign together with a way the public responded to the plan B measures We can return to Plan A in England and allow Plan B regulations to expire As a result, from the start of Thursday next week mandatory certification will end. Organisations can of course choose to use the NHS Covid pass voluntarily but we will end the compulsory use of Covid status certification in England From now on the government is no longer asking people to work

04:10 from home. People should now speak to their employers about arrangements for returning to the office and having looked at the data carefully, the cabinet concluded that once regulations lapse, the government will no longer mandate wearing of face masks anywhere. Mr Speaker, from tomorrow we will no longer require face masks in classrooms and the Department for Education will shortly remove national guidance on their use in communal areas. In the country at large we will continue to suggest the use of face coverings in enclosed or crowded spaces particularly when you come into contact with people who don't normally meet but

05:07 We will trust the judgment of the British people. Obviously. Omicron gonna get him! That's right, it's all over for the UK no this is what's happening finally you can't justify anything Joe Biden said compared to what Boris Johnson said yesterday I would like to see what happens in Australia before i'm going to jump on my own bandwagon about this thing ending No no

Colorado Relaxes Healthcare Testing and Crisis Standards of Care

The state of Colorado removed the requirement for healthcare facilities to maintain weekly testing policies for vaccine-exempt employees. Parkview Medical Center in Pueblo is among the first to implement these new guidelines following the state health department's change. Facilities are still expected to follow general infection control and PPE protocols.

05:59 No, this is definitely not ending but it's going to be sector for sector. There are little chips in the armor now this UK thing... Look they have a whole other week there is I would say a 70%-80% chance something will be so horrific the numbers will be so bad that they'll have to lock down to plan C or something You think its gonna be chinks on the armor or chips in the arm? No, no. Yeah, it was good. It was just a it was kind of phrase well But this these things are happening everywhere This isn't Colorado the state of Colorado has removed the requirement that health care facilities have a testing policy in place for vaccine exempt employees Parkview Medical and Pueblo is the first to go on record

06:46 the state level and aroun rooms and hospitals abou next phase if we're out o testing, And people can' they used to. So that's And that's really called crisis of standard, crisis standards of care. In a statement to KRDO Parkview says the state health department has eliminated the requirement of weekly testing for employees with valid exemptions they say we are following their guidelines State Health officials confirmed the change but said some facilities may opt to continue testing Facilities are still required to follow guidelines for infection control including proper use of personal protective equipment and physical distancing

Oakland Student Boycott for Stricter COVID Safety Measures

Students in the Oakland Unified School District organized a petition and boycott to demand improved COVID-19 safety precautions, including weekly on-campus testing and KN95 masks. While the district already provides some testing and masks, the student organizers argue for more comprehensive measures. The hosts criticize the students' demands as an example of mass formation.

07:30 Well, so this is what we're hearing everywhere now. It's just in the news it's good. Yes Okay, you're just a drippy nose put your mask on schools Also resisting, this is in California from NPR. In some school districts students have organized to pressure their districts to improve COVID-19 safety precautions the students are calling on the school district to provide weekly on campus coronavirus tests 1095 masks for all and better outdoor seating so kids can unmask at lunch they acknowledge that Oakland Unified is providing KN 95 masks

08:11 As opposed to what, wearing a mask at lunch while you're eating? Yes! No like taking it down... pulling it down. Taking a bite pushing it up. provides weekly on-site testing. The reason why we're still boycotting is because we really do want to push forward with weekly testing because we know it's important. Over 1,200 students signed a petition that's about 3 and half percent of Oakland's 36 thousand students Now the best way to tackle the elites in this situation the world is in is through mockery of course

Illinois Student Viral Speech Against School Board Mask Mandates

A 13-year-old student in Illinois gained viral attention for a sarcastic speech delivered to her local school board regarding mask mandates. She thanked the board for teaching students that mental health is secondary to the safety of vaccinated adults and for discouraging critical thinking. The speech highlighted the lack of masking requirements in neighboring states like Indiana and Wisconsin.

illinois· school board· mask mandates· mental health· critical thinking

08:57 And that certainly works well with mass formation, breaking the mass formation. And this young child is going viral today who's in front of the school board I think she must be all of you know, 13 14 years old and She is thanking the school board and all the adults in the room for all the things she has learned during this pandemic Thank you for teaching students that our own mental health is much less important than making triple vaccinated adults feel safe thank you for teaching me that even the most minute risk is not worth taking if

09:34 Life is best when you take the path of least resistance, with no chance of failure and definitely no chance of catching a cold. Thank you for not reaching out to the students ask how we feel about masks because if you did The majority of students would say that they hate masks and then you might second guess your decision to make us wear them. Thank you for allowing me to experience anxiety associated with never seeing facial expressions Thank you for teaching us that we should never question authority or think critically, but instead we should follow whatever the people in charge tell us to do. Obedience is best." Yes! I realize now that thinking for yourself is overrated and not really necessary when you can just make decisions based on fear

10:17 Thank you for pushing your irrational fears and anxieties on me, because I didn't already have enough to worry about. I realize now how easy it had when I only had to worry about my classes, grades, SATs and getting into college. Thank you for teaching that being morally superior only requires that I cover my face 8 hours per day, and most morally superior people wear 2 masks or even 3 masks! As you know, states around us – Indiana, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota – which have 2.5 times more students than Illinois don't force kids to wear masks I'm with you though These states are out of control Recklessly putting kids at risk of misery and death every day

11:04 Masks work, even if these states have the same outcomes as Illinois. Speaking of data... Thank you for staying silent about masking despite the fact that COVID has a very high survival rate in kids my age! Who needs data anyway though? We all know that it will never be safe to see anyone's face ever again. Lovely. Contrast that With a wise acre Isn't that the best though? Oh, yeah. She's gonna be really something in college This is something to be proud of John I'm not condemning her I sounded like you were can well You know what's funny now let's just move up north for a second and go to Canada and listen to some children there I don't if you saw it. I'm gonna have to translate in real time because this all false a

Canadian Children Advocate for Mandatory Vaccination on Television

A Canadian television segment featured young children expressing strong support for mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and police intervention for the unvaccinated. The children suggested that the government should gradually restrict the rights of those who refuse the vaccine until they submit. The hosts compare the rhetoric to that of future authoritarian politicians.

11:59 This is a TV show and they got two kids on, and they're asking these kids... sorry? You mean 16th century French. I don't know is it not the regular French? No! It's flat, it's hard to understand that French hate it. The Huguenots, it's all Huguenot French. Oh yes that's the Walloons are also from that district Alright so this is a TV show and they got two young kids on younger than this girl you just heard here now I'll translate to the questions and the answers You! Are you vaccinated?

12:39 Yes, we both have one dose. Are you in favor of mandatory vaccine? Yes! Yes! Oh yes! It looks like I drill them don't they says the mom What should we do to people who don't want the vaccine she asked? We should call the police Oui oui oui yes very good If they don't have the vaccine, it can make a lot of people in danger. So like what the government does right now we should cut everything from them little by little until they summit and get vaccinated! Yes looks like we got some future politicians here yeah and the crowd goes wild!

Starbucks Rescinds Employee Vaccine Mandate Following Supreme Court Ruling

Starbucks announced it will no longer require its 200,000 U.S. employees to be vaccinated or undergo weekly testing. This decision follows the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down the Biden administration's vaccine-or-test mandate for large businesses. The company stated it would comply with the court's ruling while still encouraging employees to get vaccinated.

13:22 So yes, you're absolutely right. It's not over every it's not over here We don't even all of a sudden the UK pulls ahead what is this? Yes This has been baffling to me too and I and I don't have an explanation so I don't really have too much To say about it. Mm-hmm. I mean as I don't think he's just Johnson's bailing out He does somebody's telling him what to do Well, he has maybe one of these situations that let's do some you already doomed Boris yeah, so let's just experiment and see if there's something we can do to get this thing going again by screwing up and making a wrong decision Yes possible. It's possible Starbucks Says it's not the Starbucks clip Oh good because I don't have one Where is it? Kovats Starbucks kovat hmm

14:23 Well, I can't seem to locate it. COVID approval? Free masks? Oh mandate! Okay, I got you. Starbucks is no longer requiring vaccine or weekly tests for its over 200,000 employees in the U.S.. That's after the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's vaccine and weekly testing requirements for large businesses. The coffee giant said it will respect and comply with the courts ruling, but Starbucks did tell NTD News on a phone call that it is still encouraging all workers at its U.S locations to get vaccinated. Of course! So now we're rolling out

Launch Glitches for Federal COVID Home Test Website

The federal government launched COVIDtests.gov a day early, allowing Americans to order free at-home test kits. Users living in apartment buildings reported technical glitches where the system claimed tests had already been ordered for their address. The White House acknowledged the "hiccups" while the hosts debate the effectiveness of the USPS-managed lookup system.

covidtests.gov· white house· apartment addresses· usps· website launch

15:01 tests and in fantastic old-school Obama Biden tradition we roll out the website And it just doesn't work right. Tonight that new website where Americans can start ordering for free at home tests, COVIDtests.gov up and running a day ahead of the official launch tomorrow families across the country are already placing their first orders some who live in apartments having no problem others running into glitches when trying to order the same address as other tenants Nisha McCray tried ordering for elderly relatives who live in apartments. I noticed it was saying that four tests have already been requested from this household There has to be a way That we can work around this that it has to know the difference between an apartment and the apartment building McCrae's orders eventually going through after she searched for the addresses by zip code and went back

15:57 went backwards. The White House acknowledging there could be some hiccups at first every website launch in our view comes with risk we can't guarantee there won't be a bug or two allow of free tests comes as omicron cases nationally are still skyrocketing So I'm going to dispute this. Dispute what? Well, this idea that the thing is like a dog like those earlier ones Oh no it's not that bad but i just find it very amateurish that they didn't get the simple locator Right for because I'm sure that that's what it is if you do the full zip code with your five, you know You have to five extra digits It'll probably get your apartment. But for some reason something was not right with their lookup well obviously looking dude, yeah, I've already ordered three sets of these things and

16:46 Because what I was doing is as soon as Biden said it on his speech, which i was watching in real time. I said oh this will be good this will give me some material so I went right to the website when he announced it even though it's been announced days earlier but he says he said if you were that might be a rush there was you know I got on very easily so I ordered a set then I ordered a set for JC then order the set for Mimi and um... There was a box with apartment number it says you put on their eye question Yet when you question then you drop. I thought it swamped. Hold on, so you said your question and dropped out? So I questioned that it wasn't really well done because it was done by the post office

17:35 It worked and it wasn't swamped when Biden brought it up, which I thought that would definitely swamp it but it didn't get swamped. It didn't fail Now in the process did you have to fill out any insurance information or any Medicare information? Or was it just straight-up your name address and good to go? Yeah You need that long zip code you cited Yeah, you just fill out your name. Hey listen it was an apartment building you don't have an apartment building It's very possible that didn't work block on the form and you put the number I know she the lady said that didn't work Well, that's what she said oh Jesus okay man they had worked for you so therefore it works for everybody The report is wrong NPRs full of shit

CHAPTER 09 / 65 Discussion

Insurance Coverage Disputes for At-Home COVID Tests

A debate arises regarding whether private insurance companies or taxpayers are funding the distribution of free at-home COVID-19 tests. While some reports suggest insurance companies must cover eight tests per month per person, the federal website does not require insurance information for the initial four-test rollout. The hosts argue over the accuracy of media reporting on the funding mechanism.

insurance companies· medicare· daily herald· taxpayers· test kits

18:18 I'm sorry for putting in real-time information because i actually didn't. You don't have an apartment number! You don't have an apartment number, you don't! So this was not real time information now the reason i asked about the insurance information is because i'm reading that insurance companies are going to have to cover the eight take-at-home COVID tests per month for every person. No, there's no insurance requirement on there you get four test kits period whoever you are I'm reading and i would recommend you and everybody else order some because you're paying for it by your tag with your taxpayers money

19:04 Well, I think that's kind of the point. Listen, i'm just reading here from the Daily Herald that says insurance companies not Medicare will handle the free COVID-19 test kits. That's a lie! Wow man... Okay well I'm asking you if that's true why don't they ask for any insurance number? That's why I'm asking but it doesn't mean this is a lie. What your reading is bullshit No, It may be something else John You know, ever think of that? It could be something else. Okay I'll explain how that works... I don't know! That's why i asked. Oh geez it was a useless conversation but okay you're right always you sound like Scott Adams. No your acting like a kid and just telling my experiences and I don't see how the insurance companies can pay for this. You can defend the article all you want. I don't care what you think really this is totally unnecessary

20:05 This had nothing to do with your experience. It had to do with people in an apartment building and then I just asked why i'm reading this article if there was no insurance information? Doesn't mean it's a lie means we're trying to figure something out, I'm not presenting anything No facts Why are you so sensitive to this? I'm not sensitive. I'm just when you say it's bullshit And I say no you're misunderstanding what I'm saying and you double down that's just dumb So I just need to correct you. If they say that insurance companies are picking this up, I'd like to know what the mechanism is? That's why... Yes! I don't know the mechanism do i?! That's why it just brought it up but then you immediately go to- It's a lie maybe something else. It's a lie. It could be a flat fee maybe that's possible but there's no insurance information required Just fill out the form and get your tests

21:06 And by the way, some other free stuff for everyone out there. You can get a bunch of free masks too if you go to CVS or Walgreens. Okay! Well why don't you do something because everything I say is wrong? I didn't say anything that was wrong. I was condemning the Herald's article that you were reading as though it was gospel for God's sake. Ah, there it is okay I read it wrong got it no you didn't did I say that? You said as gospel! As gospel! As gospel come on man words matter hey it doesn't matter somewhere we're paying for it whether it's through the insurance companies or Medicare

GOP Lawmakers Question FDA Bypassing Committee for Teen Boosters

Republican lawmakers, led by Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Chip Roy, sent a letter to the FDA demanding answers on why the agency bypassed its Vaccine Advisory Committee when authorizing Pfizer boosters for 12-to-15-year-olds. The lawmakers cited concerns over the low risk of severe COVID-19 in teens and potential risks of cardiac adverse events like myocarditis.

21:55 How about taxpayers dollars straight up? Well how about no, there's no taxpayers dollars. How about printed money straight-up that's more like it! Let's listen to this COVID approval for teen booster is hinky. GOP lawmakers are demanding answers from the FDA they want to know why the agency bypassed its usual committee approval process before authorizing the Pfizer booster shot for kids NTD's Grace Coulter has the details. The Food and Drug Administration bypassed approval from its Vaccine Advisory Committee when approving Pfizer's booster shot for kids ages 12 to 15. Now, over two dozen GOP lawmakers want to know why? According to Fox News, Republicans from both the House and Senate sent a letter to FDA Acting Commissioner Janet Woodlock Tuesday seeking answers

22:54 The lawmakers, led by Senator Ted Cruz and Representative Chip Roy called the decision to forego the committee's approval extremely puzzling and frankly quite troubling. The Republicans wrote to Woodcock children are still growing and developing and these are relevant factors for consideration to ensure that this additional vaccine dosage is appropriate especially as early teens in the 12-15 age group extremely low risk for death and hospitalization from COVID-19. The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee was involved in the approval process of both the Pfizer and Moderna booster shots for adults

23:36 It's not clear why the committee wasn't involved in approving the Pfizer booster for kids, which the FDA approved on January 3rd. Republicans argue that when it comes to children getting the jab many uncertainties remain. The lawmakers pointed to two non-peer reviewed studies that suggest boys ages 12 to 17 who received the booster shot may have a higher risk of cardiac adverse events You know, I'd like to know what they're actually vaccinating daily now. And I don't think anyone's going for this. I think everyone is like no just stay home! I don't want it...I don't care. I'm sure there's a percentage but gee there's so much information now that people hopefully are seeing. I don't see why a kid who even get is confronted with the possibility have myocarditis would take this shot? They don't get COVID and not walking around sick

Israeli Study on Fourth Dose Effectiveness and Moderna Combo Shot

Scientists in Israel reported that a fourth dose of the COVID-19 vaccine increases antibody levels but may not be sufficient to prevent breakthrough infections from the Omicron variant. Meanwhile, Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel announced the company is developing a single annual booster shot that combines vaccines for both COVID-19 and the seasonal flu.

israel· fourth dose· antibodies· moderna· flu vaccine

24:34 and then they take the shot and they get something that's a, that damages them for the rest of their lives? So we might as well crank up the conversation everyone else is having. New research on the effectiveness of a fourth COVID vaccine shot. Scientists in Israel, where fourth doses have already been administered to some high-risk patients say the fourth shot raised antibody levels but likely not enough to prevent breakthrough infections. Fourth doses have not been authorized in the U.S.. I love how they're still talking about break through infections yet 800 thousand people a day getting infected with Omicron Do you know anyone who's been infected twice with Omicron? I haven't heard that yet. No, but Jay and her boyfriend who both had Omicron went to a cabin with a bunch of people over this last weekend and somebody came in and infected everybody. And so... They got it again?!

25:35 No, no. They thought they might be getting it again but then it passed over. Because I'm seeing a lot of people who you know are just have the flu they had Omicron then they're getting the flu and maybe that's because their weekend or whatever The two seem to go hand in hand. Vaccine maker Moderna now says it's working on one shot for both COVID and the flu. The CEO says it could be available by the fall of next year They should just have like one super, super shot That's what they're gonna do No but has at all I mean measles Just throw it all in there One big ball of goo that just... I'm reminded

CHAPTER 12 / 65 Discussion

Historical Parallels to Swine Flu Vaccine Strategies

The hosts reflect on the 2009 swine flu pandemic, noting how health officials at the time pushed for multiple shots and eventually combined them with seasonal flu vaccines. They discuss the evolution of vaccine schedules and the transition from skepticism about multiple injections to the current acceptance of frequent boosters.

26:16 phony baloney swine flu thing that we documented very bit you know day by day on the show I had it yeah this right yeah I keep forgetting but that was your pre vitamin D three days yeah and now have t-cell immunity I think Now, but if you remember they made a big stink and big fuss. It was like it was like a trial run on two shots all you had to have two shots is you need two vaccines to get this swine flu thing and then but for some reason back in the day which we were 10 years ago eight years ago people were reluctant to get two shots

26:56 I don't know what changed. So then they said, well and then somebody suggested you can combine it with the flu shot next year. No no no, you need two shots! And they combined it with the flu shot the next year with one shot and a flu shot. There's something bogus about everything that... That's what they always want! We've been hearing this for 10 years at least. It'll be one shot that will do it all though. All coronaviruses, everything That's just all but it's always been on the schedule for regular, you know subscription come back and get more come back and get more Yeah I have one more from ABC About the fourth we've been hearing plenty about a fourth dose We have some places around the world who've already got to move forward with fourth doses for certain members of the population But what are we learning now about the benefits of possibly now?

CHAPTER 13 / 65 Discussion

US Vaccine Donation Strategy and Booster Efficacy Data

The Biden administration awarded Pfizer a $2 billion contract modification for 300 million additional vaccine doses intended for international donation to low-income countries. This comes as U.S. health officials emphasize the efficacy of the third dose in preventing hospitalization while downplaying the immediate necessity of a fourth dose for the general population.

pfizer· vaccine donations· biden administration· hospitalization rates· international aid

27:47 What a second booster what are we calling it? A fourth dose how we're gonna put it. New preliminary data shows that the fourth dose may not provide that clear additive benefit that we were hoping for, for now it seems as though the primary series plus that third additional dose has proven to be incredibly effective if you look at the numbers here in the United States for example and compare to the vaccinated. Those who are unvaccinated are two to three times more likely to be infected, but more importantly 10-14 times more likely to be hospitalized so for now it seems like we're sticking to these three doses. Yeah yeah blah blah blah data data data you know even when people email me now with uh here's the latest data from my country or my town I just archive it you know? It's not even interesting all data is bullshit

28:36 This is just all data. How about this? This is just a big trial run to see how many doses people will actually put up with. Might be, I mean I'm looking at a Pfizer contract...I don't understand why this is happening was awarded two billion forty seven and a half million dollars but that's a modification to their contract with a number here for an additional 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine for international donation to low and low middle income countries. What? You know Biden's been talking about this, and he talked about it again in his world's longest press conference. Well what if we actually needed the fourth booster then we gave it all away or we have enough

29:26 I just... Well that question is never asked. But the point is, is that Biden's bragging about everybody should be giving it away like we're doing and that number you cited that that's we not because he has a mouse in his pocket as we the taxpayers of United States were given Pfizer nothing but money It's ludicrous More to come! More to come Now here's this story that concerns me We already heard Soda Mayor going nuts with her 100 million kids in, you know, dead cages. In cages and COVID cages I think is what she said

Supreme Court Masking Dispute and Sotomayor's Virtual Attendance

Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor issued a joint statement denying an NPR report that claimed Sotomayor asked Gorsuch to wear a mask on the bench. Chief Justice John Roberts also denied requesting that justices mask up. Despite the denials, NPR stands by Nina Totenberg's reporting that Sotomayor is participating virtually due to health concerns.

30:10 Listen to this story. This is a hard... You only hear of this story in the mainstream, but she's all holed up and worried sick. Oh yeah about her diabetes? She's a basket case! An article by NPR alleges that one of the nine Supreme Court justices attends court hearings virtually because of a maskless colleague In a joint statement, Justices Neil Gorsuch and Sonia Sotomayor weighed in. They said that a report that claimed Sotomayor had asked Gorsuch to wear a mask surprised them and that it's false The justices also said they're warm colleagues and friends The statement came after allegations of tensions between the two appeared in an article written by NPR's Nina Totenberg But their reporter didn't say that Sotomayor asked Gorsuch to wear a mask

31:01 She said Chief Justice Roberts in some form asked the other justices to mask up because Sotomayor felt unsafe around maskless people. But Roberts denies asking any justice to wear a mask on the bench In a statement to NTD, NPR said they stand behind Totenberg's reporting. Stand behind it? So she stays at home and phones it in when they're doing a case now Yeah, well she has a comorbidity. I'm sure there's more than one justice that has the few comorbidities. Who doesn't? Sticking with the court it looks like in Brazil they accepted at least

International Criminal Court Filing Against Global Leaders

A criminal case alleging crimes against humanity has been filed with the International Criminal Court (ICC) naming defendants such as Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, Boris Johnson, and Klaus Schwab. The filing targets leaders of pharmaceutical companies and health organizations regarding their roles in the pandemic response. The hosts note that the U.S. does not recognize the ICC's jurisdiction.

31:54 one part or I'm not quite sure how much of the criminal case against several individuals and officials for crimes against humanity submitted and accepted by the International Criminal Court which nobody cares about but it's always, it makes for good television you know when you see them sitting there if so the... Who were they? What did they do Oh, here are the people who have been listed as defendants. Anthony Fauci, Tedros...

32:30 June Rain, the director of Medicins and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency that's the UK. Dr Adif Shah from the Rockefeller Foundation Peter Daszak we know him Albert Bourla CEO Pfizer Stephanie Bancell CEO of AstraZeneca Pascal Souriau CEO Moderna Alex Gorski CEO Johnson & Johnson Boris Johnson Christopher Witte who is the UK chief medical advisor Matthew Hancock of course Secretary of State for the UK and Klaus Schwab. And it has a case number, that'd be a great drinking club! It has a case number and everything so you know this is the thing that the United States I don't think do we even recognize it? We don't recognize it do we? No no of course not George Bush would be in jail yeah he hasn't traveled since I think

French Vaccine Pass Mandate and Civil Enforcement Concerns

The French Parliament voted to implement a strict vaccine pass law, requiring proof of vaccination for entry into restaurants, cinemas, and long-distance trains. Attorney Dianne Protat and several senators challenged the bill in the Constitutional Council, arguing it forces civilians to act as police officers. The hosts compare this to bartenders checking IDs for age verification.

france· vaccine pass· constitutional council· personal freedoms· police enforcement

33:20 Well, listen here's another situation that is developing. This is you know we talked about Austria making a mandate everybody has to get the shot whether they like it or not. Seems like it. Well France yeah this under COVID-19 unfortunately I spelled COVID with a P. Listen to this French French mandate thing this is becoming a real problem in France The French government has set to implement a vaccine mandate unless the highest court votes against it NTD correspondent David Vivas meets with a lawyer working on the dispute. Around 60 senators appealed to the Constitution Council, the highest court in France, to see if the vaccine pass law violates the constitution This new law which had a rough ride through parliament with opposition parties finding some of its provisions too tough will require people to have a certificate of vaccination to enter public places like restaurants cafes hospitals cinemas and long-distance trains

34:12 Lawmakers in the lower house of parliament voted 215 in favor of the vaccine pass bill to 58 against, paving the way for the law to be applied. But senators from different groups say this law goes against personal freedoms such as freedom to come and go and freedom of expression. Attorney Dianne Protat worked on the text with senators to dispute the bill. One of the measures is mandatory vaccines for all workers and employees Protat says this measure might make 5 million unvaccinated French lose their jobs. Of course it's a social disaster, there were already 10 million people who were poor in France and if you put five million plus ten million for people who don't have money you will have an explosion of poverty in France

34:56 She says other measures might change forever the way rule of law works. People's ID and certificates of vaccination will be monitored not by police, but by employees or persons in charge of the places where people want to enter. Protat says this is how things will end up since there wouldn't be enough policemen in France to monitor the entire population. You cannot imagine that every lunchtime in France all the policemen will not go to check in the bars, or people who are coming. So the solution for the state is to ask anyone of us to be a policeman or judge because they don't have money and power to enforce it so they're asking us, civilians, to enforce it for them." In the event their High Court doesn't suspend the law It might be implemented in the coming days

35:42 Wait a minute, she said she's asking the civilians to implement it? I didn't quite understand what she meant by that. No, she was bitching about... What was this story we had on this show? It was in and out burger. They say we're not the police! We're not going to be checking for these vaccine passports is what she's complaining about same thing exactly. She doesn't want why should we be checking all those documents She complained that there's not enough police. Now I was thinking... Wait, don't they have QR codes? Don't they have the system aren't they jacked in what checking do you have to do is just you scan the QR code if if you're not scanned they detect you and then they black bag you and roust your right off the street into a van That's it still your you are you a cop well No, that's what she stays saying You know why should we be black bagging people

36:33 Now, I was thinking about this and isn't this the same though just to take the other side of the argument? The same as bartenders having to check IDs for age. What's the difference? Death perceived death... That's the only difference! That's the only difference. The notion that you don't check this ID and the whole place will die That's the implication of course. Well I think they should just... What? They could do the same with the...I think the argument is weak that we don't want to check IDs because we're not the police, I'm just... Well that's a form of resistance it's a weak form but that's the French version of resistance currently That's the best they can do Yeah well yeah Did you notice the vote by their way is overwhelming for them Yes three quarters

Hong Kong Hamster Cull Over COVID-19 Transmission Fears

Authorities in Hong Kong ordered the culling of approximately 2,000 hamsters after several animals at a pet shop tested positive for COVID-19. The decision followed a shop employee contracting an untraceable infection. Pet owners were urged to hand over animals purchased after late December for euthanasia to prevent potential animal-to-human transmission.

38:18 Wait, so am I getting this right? So they some idiot put out an RFP to continue the program. That's the best ever! Oh yeah in Hong Kong they kick it up a notch you know we got it if we can terrorize... look we may not be able to terrorize all the children because their parents just may not give them the vaccine but We can still terrorize children whenever we want to. Authorities in Hong Kong want pet stores and pet owners to hand their pets over for culling, over fears that they could pass COVID-19 to people It is estimated that at least 2,000 hamsters will be euthanized after a pet shop employee became Hong Kong's first patient with an untraceable COVID-19 infection in three months

39:09 The government made this announcement after 11 hamsters at the Little Boss Pet Shop tested positive for the virus, according to Insider. Well, the hamster thing is... yeah they're gonna cull all the hamsters. Yeah well they're close to the ferret. How do they get them to swab up a little hamsters nose? That's what I'd like to know Have you ever seen a hamsters nose? No It's like the size of a pinhole. I don't know how you get the swab out there. I've not tried it to swab a hamster To check him for COVID give me a break! I have not done that

CHAPTER 18 / 65 Discussion

Scott Adams and the Psychology of Taking the Loss

The hosts analyze a recent video by Dilbert creator Scott Adams, debating whether his admission of being "wrong" about vaccine data was sincere or a sarcastic psychological play. They discuss the difficulty of "taking the L" (loss) in the public eye and how social media trolls use cognitive dissonance as a weapon against public figures.

scott adams· cognitive dissonance· mass formation· social media· persuasion

39:50 The mass formation is still in place though I think we had a beautiful example of exactly what the progenitor of the thesis, Professor DeSmet said is 30% are all-in. 30 percent are not hypnotized and there's 40 percent in the middle who just kind of sway back and forth all you need is about 10 or 15 percent of that bit in the middle and you can start changing the balance and moving it over towards people awakening. And this happened, and we were a part of it so I want to welcome this human resource back into the fray and welcome him with warmth and love and not scorn or ridicule because its very hard to take the L Scott Adams took the L

40:41 Because the new brand of trolls all have the same quality. They don't have any complaint, they just say things like stop Scott stop Just don't do it anymore and I'll be like what? Stop what? I'm not even sure what the topic is And then the LOL trolls lol Scott lol you're coping L! So i thought to myself...I should take these people seriously There are so many people telling me that I'm experiencing cognitive dissonance. And my first impression was, well that's obviously projection you're the one who is experiencing it and projecting on me but do you know what the problem with projection is? You never know who's doing it am I projecting on my critics or are my critics projecting on me and how would I know Well...I decided to go with

41:38 And it worked. Ridiculing him, Ben Garrison's cartoon are you I'm sorry you played this clip why was this well because because the clip began a series of sarcastic remarks which he continued for about an hour i know read I'm not done oh you're gonna play though look okay okay I thought we're going to not do Scott Adams stuff but okay well what did you want to say because what I heard him say you clearly watched it

42:26 I heard him say he was taking the L because he made a math error, but that he was alerted to it by the informal polls he did on Twitter. And when 46% of people said you're wrong in essence that's when he decided to take the L now Was he being disingenuous? Separate issue You clearly think he was disingenuous Well he was very disingenuous His final conclusion was, I mean...I don't really want to discuss this to be honest about it because i don't think we should be doing Scott Adams deconstructions. But he was being sarcastic everything you played there with sarcasm and he actually took it up two or three notches from there with more sarcasm and it took probably a half an hour before the chat room realized what was going on

43:27 and they kind of got very irked about it. Oh, to me it was just he admitted it and then he did his best to claw back everything he could and make it not his fault but that piece to me I think that might have been sarcasm but it was truthful That wasn't...that was my impression too you had a different impression You..you....I don't think you listened to the whole thing? I did Why? Did at the end say psyched is no true He was saying stuff like I'm just telling you, that part of it was his lead into suckering. It was a sucker's game. I watched the whole thing! Where he says...I've decided that i'm not going to care about my personal safety or longevity or survival because... No, see I think you misunderstood that He was saying...he was being sarcastic about math versus mind reading

44:26 I just listen to it with in mind that is a suckers game. He did this, it's totally a psych. He really went out of his way at the end to just... pounded home that yeah it that the vaccine was gonna save lives and that's not important he's vaccines will save you they'll save my life but it's not important because more importantly I heard all that I heard all that but to me that was he was complete did that was him airing his defeat I don't know I just took a differently that's okay I could be wrong oh

45:02 Yeah, well he doesn't do that. Didn't do it this time either I think it was a very coy way of doubling down Okay It's possible but then in that case He is an idiot Then he ruined it because We don't have to deconstruct him But you and I both know There are times in life And we've both had these instances Where you have to take the loss on something Because You will not have a life Online if you do this, what was... You had that happen. What's your story about that? This was years ago I learned my lesson quite early

John C. Dvorak's 1980s OS/2 Apology Anecdote

John C. Dvorak recounts a story from the 1980s involving a controversy he sparked in a PC Mag chat room regarding IBM's OS/2 operating system. After facing escalating hostility from the networked group, a friend at IBM advised him to apologize. Dvorak notes that the apology immediately diffused the situation, teaching him the danger of networked social groups.

45:44 And so I try not to go online to get myself into a jam because it's like impossible to dig out of. I mean, I'm still digging out of the mouse comment from 1984. That's because it has been changed into something... It is your very fine people. People lie! They change your effect. They had caught one guy doing this. It's your very fine people moment Yes exactly Yes, it's exactly the same as the very fine people situation. What was the thing you were going to tell us? Well in 1980s way before the internet was taking off but there was this thing called PC magnet It was a computer we had chat rooms all of stuff that is going on today There were prototypes

46:34 you know, proto chat rooms and all the rest. And I had gotten myself into some...I said something stupid about OS2 or something like that in this group it was a very-it wasn't large by today's standards but it was large enough to get me- OS 2! There's just saying OS2 by itself was a problem I'll tell you this, if you would say... If you were back in that era. If you had said anything about the... Oh what was it? Amiga OS! Oh my god those people were insane! I liked Rex by the way. I like trying to program in Rex wasn't that the os2 scripting language yes it was so I said something and got some people bent out of shape and then started a snowball behind my back

47:17 And I went and looked at it, and said this is no big deal. Just let it go But the more I let it go the more it was getting worse and worse These people were just hating and hating and hating It's just a lot of hating So a friend of mine Dave Whittle who worked at IBM at that time Had gotten ahold of me He called me up and said you gotta do something about this This is out of control You have to apologize And so I started examining and I realized, okay. I went in apologize and everybody turned quickly to the other side because I had taken the L. And it was instantly different. It was like instant because but nowadays...and then I realized then that you have to be careful

48:00 in these social groups, these are networked groups. They're very dangerous and... Yes they are! You can't do crazy stuff and think you can get away with it you'll get ruined It will ruin your life So my moment I extrapolated from that moment I don't do stuff like that I'm a troll in a very cautious way But you're a troll Of course My moment came around 2004-2005 And in my case, there wasn't really an L to take. I took the advice from the old country... ...which means when you're being shorn as a sheep then you should sit very still

Adam Curry and the Wikipedia Podcasting Entry Controversy

Adam Curry discusses his past conflict regarding the Wikipedia entry for podcasting, where he was accused by Rogers Cadenhead of editing the page to inflate his own importance. Curry explains he was unaware of the unwritten rule against editing one's own entry. The hosts critique Wikipedia's reliability and its use as a PR tool for figures like Noam Chomsky.

wikipedia· podcasting· rogers cadenhead· noam chomsky· edit wars

48:47 this was the Wikipedia entry for podcasting. And Wikipedia at that was pretty new at the time and so I'm looking at this you know what people are writing and there were shitting they're like hey, I had radio shows on cassette! So I invented podcasting way before anything else it was And there was all this stuff in here, so I was moving stuff around like oh this is cool. You know let me do this and then there wasn't... Wait you were editing your own Wikipedia? I didn't know you couldn't do that! It was a podcasting Wikipedia. I didn't know you could edit... What if that was your personal page? Well it might have been my personal page maybe but it doesn't matter I didn't know that. I did not know that

49:33 I didn't know you're not supposed to. I went in, and I changed it registered my name and it went boom! And it was done but the accusation specifically from Rogers Cadenhead cocksucker who he then...and that blog post is still there because he was part of the RSS board or some shit like that they're real stick up his ass And then he was like, Adam Curry change it to make himself look more important. That was the accusation not just changing the Wikipedia page but to make yourself look more important and I went...I said hey hold on a second! I was there and that's when i learned oh no no you can't edit your own wiki page yeah and I just shut up and let it go after that because I was getting skewered

50:24 What an asshole! I can't believe he would do that. Yeah, me neither." It's funny. Yeah Well... Funny? I don't know it was pretty harsh. I knew somehow that you're not supposed to edit your own Wikipedia page. I think has something to do with the wiki theory when it first was brought out and discussed which is that you know the public would be editing these pages of course There's funny things you can do with that. Which remains to be seen, but I kind of knew that but I never noticed it was ever written down anywhere so I never felt when you...I remember this happened to you and I said, oh that's funny its hilarious. Thanks pal! That's what I thought, I thought it was hilarious because he stepped in it and couldn't get your foot out of there. Pretty much

51:23 But I don't remember it ever being... written anywhere. I thought it was just kind of an unwritten law that you didn't know about, which wouldn't surprise me like a lot of people didn't know about and i think a lot of these pages are done by the PR people from the person in line go to... You want to see? Go look at Noam Chomsky's page! Are you telling me the public put that together?! That's bullcrap! Noam Chomsky's page is put together either his wife or somebody It was just a giant PR piece I mean if i was going to do my own Wikipedia page or I had somebody, hire somebody to do it. Because I've seen people do this every column they've ever written is documented in the wiki site? Yeah right who does that? 45 5 000 columns I've written! I could put everyone in there go on for pages and pages

52:16 It's such a useless piece of crap when it comes to that. I mean how many times have tried to change my picture and then someone, yeah it's not official! And they put the stupid one with the cowboy hat back and... That's just give up and screw y'all. Screw you Wikipedia your incorrect in your propaganda and we love using ya for someone's height and age that's usually correct. The height thing is not very unusual that its correct There's a lot of misinformation put on Wikipedia. I think it is good for just, when you have an ambassador or something like that and you want to see what schools he went to... It is good for spook spotting! That's exactly what its for. Let me see if it has my height 6'5".

Stanford University Students Petition Against Booster Mandate

A group of Stanford University students, led by a PhD candidate, launched a petition to repeal the school's COVID-19 booster mandate. The students argue that the mandate ignores the low risk of serious illness for their demographic and the high existing vaccination rate of 95%. They advocate for individual medical autonomy rather than university-enforced requirements.

stanford university· booster mandate· student petition· cdc· medical ethics

53:13 So it's somebody will go in tonight and change the five to exactly Wikipedia. So with I got the one last clip for COVID this is they stand for students this I'm kind of surprised because Cal students didn't have that you'd think they'd be the ones with the wherewithal to bitch and moan but no, no, no You've got the Stanford weenies are the ones doing it instead This is a It's a good story. Some other large companies like General Electric have also suspended their vax mandates after the Supreme Court ruling. Meanwhile, Stanford University will be mandating that all its students receive a COVID booster by the end of this month in opposition A group of students delivered an open letter to the university and have an ongoing online petition demanding that the mandate be repealed

54:08 Students at Stanford University started an online petition to repeal the school's booster mandate. The mandate was first announced in mid-December and will require all students to show proof of receiving a COVID-19 booster vaccine by January 31st, unless they qualify for an approved religious or medical exemption I think that the decision to mandate boosters for all students really flies in the face of a lot of evidence on the ground and a lot of the things that we should be valuing as Stanford, as that community. Fisher, a PhD student at Stanford started the petition As of today it has close to 1800 signatures

54:49 Fisher says 95% of the students are reported to be vaccinated and according to the numbers on the CDC website, The university's student demographic are already at low risk of serious illness from COVID-19. When you add on top of that the fact that boosters are not without risks themselves right there is a developing body of research about the risks associated with boosters I thought it was irresponsible of Stanford to make that decision for its students instead of empowering its students to make their own decisions Yeah, that would be wrong citizen. No you can't make decisions for you So think about this for a moment where we're at right now Just taking America and I think America is probably unique but maybe it's around around other countries our homelessness situation And I was thinking about the Tigers talking to Moe the other day and he had heard the story about the hotel without the desk in The chair

CHAPTER 22 / 65 Discussion

Rising Homelessness and Violent Crime in Major US Cities

The hosts discuss the worsening homelessness crisis and a series of high-profile random killings in Los Angeles and New York City involving homeless suspects. They highlight the murders of Brianna Kupfer and Sandra Shells in LA, and Michelle Goh in the NYC subway. New York Mayor Eric Adams admitted to feeling unsafe in the subway system despite initial dismissals of crime concerns.

homelessness· los angeles· new york city· brianna kupfer· michelle goh

55:47 And he said, oh no this is happening from the cheapest hotels up. Because people are living in hotels now and I want people working you come to our hotel you're here to party and drink and eat and not here to do any work we don't want your work it's a luxury hotel. You go all the way down the line to the $30 a night hotels People are living there. They cannot afford even to put down deposit on rent, so we have a potential with mandates and all other things we have a potential for an incredible increase in the homelessness population or maybe they'll surface more if they can't even stay in the hotels. And how many homeless are there in San Francisco do you think?

56:36 I think it's 75,000. Yeah but i could...I don't have that number at...i don't have that number. But it's big? I'm just guessing yeah and now you're making me irk with myself for not clipping a bunch of homeless stuff which is... I have a homeless thing here and then i'll tell you what i'm thinking. Well they traced the whole problem to a Latham & Watkins case in Idaho! We had this five years ago Yeah. We did all this! Do we have the clip? No, but I can tell you exactly what it is... It's one guy who didn't want to move and then Latham Watkins who are huge a-hole shills. Who was bad as Hillary Clinton before. Yes

57:17 They set this up and every single, and so it became unconstitutional to move someone in a tent because that's their home. And that is then a constitutional violation so you can only fine them. Every city that has increased homelessness use this as the argument including Austin. But they're using it on purpose! They want homeless people! So yes, but here there's a danger and it's starting. Tonight the suspect now in custody for the gruesome murder of UCLA graduate student Brianna Kupfer one of three random killings just 72 hours apart raising urgent concerns about the homeless crisis in America

57:58 Cooper's accused killer, Sean Laval Smith who was out on bail has a lengthy arrest record in California and the Carolinas including vandalism trespassing and weapons charges. Smith allegedly stabbing the 24 year old in the middle of the day at the furniture store where she was working alone seen in this surveillance video just minutes after the murder Cooper's heartbroken father in shock. You don't want to hear it and you want to not believe it? That same day, Los Angeles police say another homeless man, Kerry Bell struck 70 year old nurse Sandra shells in the face at a bus stop her skull fracturing as she hit the ground is saddened. It said here, you know getting ready to retire and this is what happens. Police found bell who has been arrested previously in several states sleeping a short distance from the scene of the attack

58:47 And two days later, as a speeding New York City subway car approached the platform... Police say Simon Marshall who has a history of mental illness and criminal behavior pushed financial manager Michelle Goh to her death. The city's new mayor under fire for rising crime in the subway after initially suggesting the safety concerns were merely a perception attending a massive vigil for Goh in Times Square and now admitting he himself does not feel safe underground. On day one I took this subway system I felt unsafe. I saw homeless everywhere." Aha! Now, what you were talking about the Boise thing...I think that was on Tucker and he went off on an incredible rant about get-off our streets you drug users which although i understand what he's saying towards cities these are also ...you can't just dehumanize these people the way he did. I thought it was really inappropriate

CHAPTER 23 / 65 Discussion

Potential for a Homeless Apocalypse and Charismatic Leadership

Reflecting on the film "Demolition Man," the hosts speculate on the potential for a "homeless apocalypse" if the unhoused population continues to grow without community support. They discuss the importance of community-based solutions like Austin's Community First Village and warn that a charismatic leader could eventually organize the marginalized population into a disruptive force.

demolition man· community first village· social unrest· economic woes· wesley snipes

59:43 Especially having experience with how these people just need community. I've seen the Community First Village that I've talked about, how well that works and we're now in phase three but... The idea that homeless people are only vagrant drug users is a big mistake. I mean, I am in contact at any given moment during the week with two to five homeless no agenda producers and some of them travel around they couch surf sometimes sleep outside once or twice maybe someone in a car but they don't even have vehicles and these are not stupid people. They're not... now do they have abuse issues? Possibly, drug issues possibly loss of family most likely economic woes that got them into this situation so they're looking for community this is why the No Agenda Meetups work every human being needs community it wouldn't take much

1:00:41 with a hundred thousand people in New York, maybe it's less than 75 thousand people in San Francisco. How many hundreds of thousands in Los Angeles? It wouldn't take much for one charismatic leader to stand up and they might listen to him. They all got cell phones If we've talked about demolition man, you ever see Demolition Man? We have the people below and the people above. Yeah it's a great movie I think this has a real chance of happening in the United States And man... You don't want these people going out raiding everything which is already happening

1:01:18 We're already seeing the smashing grabs in the expensive stores. We're seeing the low end just walk in, take whatever you want from the Walgreens What if a Wesley Snipes steps up and says hey follow me? They could get pretty bad! We could have homeless apocalypse upon us There's a show title. I have the clip if you want to just revisit briefly the the Supreme Court well this I think that the authorities would take that guy out so fast your head would spin Yeah, like they take all other violent criminals out. Well that violent criminals are one thing violent leaders Mm-hmm it's different and what if it's just a virtual guy is the guy who somewhere doing a podcast? Anything's possible

CHAPTER 24 / 65 Discussion

Supreme Court and the Ninth Circuit Boise Homeless Ruling

The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal of a Ninth Circuit ruling that prevents cities from ticketing homeless individuals for sleeping in public if no shelter beds are available. The ruling, based on the Eighth Amendment's ban on "cruel and unusual punishment," effectively creates a right to camp on public property. The hosts debate the legal definition of punishment versus torture.

boise· ninth circuit· supreme court· cruel and unusual punishment· antonin scalia

1:02:12 to revisit from... I've thought about this too and i think it's a yeah. What do you think? I think the population, if the homeless population gets too big and I think they're trying to grow it Something something bad could happen. Here's a quick revisit of the Supreme Court rejecting the I think was the Ninth Circuit another bunch of douchebags Who set this whole thing up today? The Supreme Court denied without explanation the city of Boise's petition to appeal what seen as a sweeping ruling in the federal 9th circuit from last year and

1:02:48 That lower court ruled that Idaho's capital city was in violation of the Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment when police here ticketed the homeless for sleeping in public. Now, cities in the West from Idaho to Washington to California can't enforce such rules against the homeless until they've found shelter for everyone who needs it. And most cities in the region don't have enough shelter beds on any given night which means if they ticket the homeless now, they're in violation of federal law Attorney Thea Nae Evangelist represented Boise in its appeal. And cities' hands are tied now by the Ninth Circuit's decision because it effectively creates a constitutional right to camp. Major West Coast cities like Los Angeles are grappling with growing tent cities and the public health and safety fallouts from them. Many filed briefs in support of Boise's appeal. Evangelist says everyone agrees the solution is more low-income housing and services

1:03:42 But she says this decision makes it virtually impossible for cities to do anything in the interim. And we have an outbreak of diseases and a very dangerous situation for people who are living on the streets and for everyone, and the city needs to have the tools available to deal with growing encampments In a statement Boise's outgoing mayor Dave Beter said he hopes the city's next administration continues to fight in federal court clarification about how to comply with the law. That's seen as unlikely, at least here. The mayor lost in a heated election this month to a more liberal Democrat who had criticized the city for criminalizing homelessness. Maria Foscarina heads the National Center on Homelessness and Poverty which helped represent the Boise homeless who brought the case. She says that court has now affirmed that ticketing or jailing homeless people isn't working. The solution is addressing the root of the problem which is that people can't afford a place to live

1:04:42 People don't have access to the services they need. Foscarinas hopes this news will force cities to stop turning to the courts and start finding long-term solutions Yeah, that was three years ago That's working out well Well I don't see how is cruel an unusual punishment quote unquote as mentioned at the beginning of that report, to ticket somebody. No ticketing is not but moving the tent you're not allowed to move their ten because that is their home That's cruel and unusual? Yes! That's what it's based on You're on the street in somebody's way and get moved...that's cruel What galls me about this use of cruel and unusual in this case because Scalise

1:05:27 the old timer that died mysteriously in Texas with a pillow over his head. He made it big stink about when during that Abu Ghraib era and the CIA's use of torture, especially use of torture he made the claim It's not cruel and unusual punishment. No, it's enhanced interrogation And he didn't even go in that direction He he would I heard the argument because it was recorded and he would go on He would go on and say how is it? How is it punishment you know You've see her being tortured say somebody putting a your hand in a vice and squeezing it How is it punishment because what are you being punished for for breaking the law?

1:06:19 No, you're being... no. I've grabbed you and i want to get some information out of you and you're not going to tell me anything so I put your hand in a vice and start squeezing it until it smashes your hand It's not punishment. That's just pain, it's torture. It's just torture! It's not punishment, its torture. Scalise actually made the point that tortures is not cruel and unusual punishment based on the logic I just provided Well technically... And yes so you go from that to a guy getting his tent moved because he's in a driveway God love it Now they call that cruel and unusual punishment Yeah These guys have got to get their act together

Organized Train Looting and Security Challenges in Los Angeles

A report from a former truck driver details the difficulty of breaching international shipping containers, which require heavy-duty bolt cutters to open. This follows widespread reports of organized theft from stationary trains in the Los Angeles area. The hosts discuss the logistics of these thefts and the apparent lack of law enforcement intervention.

train looting· union pacific· los angeles· bolt cutters· organized crime

1:07:02 Well it's too late. It's too late! I mean Austin maybe, they can still you know they've been a 7000 um... You know these are people with survival skills to now just don't want them coming after you especially if supply chains go down all kinds of crap that can happen anyway glad i'm out of Austin. We got a note from Sir Mark the Wandering Knight about the train looting Up in Los Angeles area, the ports. The mess! Yeah he says to get into an international container box you need a large bolt cutter or one of the new cordless models they are required there's a required half inch steel bolt and or 1 8th inch steel cable device

1:07:54 These bolts can be a real bitch to get off as a former truck driver delivering these containers. I have had the displeasure of dealing with both these security devices, can't imagine dealing with one of these bolts on a moving train with little footing to leverage the bolt cutters." What do you think? Organized crime... Well they show-they show a lot of this in Chicago that which is couple years old Oh it's happening in Chicago too or was that No no that was two year ago in Chicago where they did the same thing and tore apart whole bunch of these trains How'd they stop it The train was stopped, that was the point. No I mean how did they stop it from happening? As far as i know its still going on. Oh okay But you know the train would be stopped and this guy guess one of them would have one of these bolt cutters It doesn't... if there are.. If they exist someone's gonna have one And crack the thing open and then they start just throwing stuff out Everyone gathered around waiting One guy has his Lexus their ready to load up

CHAPTER 26 / 65 Discussion

5G Deployment Conflict Between Telecoms and Airlines

AT&T and Verizon agreed to temporarily delay 5G deployment near major airports following warnings from airlines about potential "catastrophic" disruptions. The concern centers on 5G signals interfering with aircraft radio altimeters used during low-visibility landings. The FAA and wireless carriers remain at odds over the safety of the C-band spectrum rollout.

5g· faa· fcc· radio altimeters· at&t· verizon

1:08:53 Is Lexus? He's a Tesla Cybertruck. Yeah, that's coming next! Well that's criminal activity of course... Unless there is something more about the homeless apocalypse There's one story that I think we may be uniquely qualified to discuss and that is the, and I hoped it would go away. I hope we didn't have to talk about it but nope! It's on...it's the 5G telecommunications companies versus the airlines. Tonight, this is your story. That's what I'm saying, my story

1:09:31 Well, because I was waiting for you to discuss it. Here's my story with a clip! Tonight crisis averted AT&T and Verizon agreeing to temporarily limit the number of towers around airports that will carry their high-speed 5G signals The unexpected move coming just today after major US airlines warned that there could be a quote catastrophic disruption air travel if 5g rolled out near major airports Here's the worry. That stronger 5G signal is very similar to the frequency of a plane's radio altimeter, a device pilots use to judge their distance from the ground. Airlines say in poor weather conditions when visibility is low, pilots might not have reliable information to land safely potentially leading to thousands of diverted and cancelled flights. And not just for passengers

1:10:19 Two, the FAA cannot tell us if there is a problem. The airlines are erring on the side of safety to make sure that they scientifically determine that there isn't a problem and that the flying public stays particularly safe The wireless carriers have long said 5G would not interfere with aircraft electronics. AT&T saying in a statement, we are frustrated by the FAA's inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services. The FAA says other countries have created permanent buffer zones keeping the signal away from airports

CHAPTER 27 / 65 Discussion

Technical Analysis of Aircraft Altimeter Interference and 5G

The hosts provide a technical breakdown of why Boeing aircraft are particularly susceptible to 5G interference due to their fuselage composition and older altimeter designs. They argue the conflict is primarily a financial dispute over who pays for equipment upgrades. Furthermore, they suggest 5G's millimeter-wave signals could cause broader interference issues for future autonomous vehicle sensors.

boeing· radio frequency· millimeter wave· autonomous driving· spectrum auction

1:10:57 but the signal in the US would be more than twice as strong as those used in Europe. Blah blah blah, there's so much misinformation about this story and no one has seen the obvious! A couple of things. There's a technical story to it and then there is what really going on, and that is in the past 24 months there was no money really to invest in upgrading altimeters certainly not the millimeter wave altimeter people think its some kind of LIDAR shooting light down... No This is a radar device that works from about 2,500 feet down to the ground and it uses radio frequency. And the frequency is separated by a little bit of spectrum from the 5G that Verizon and AT&T are rolling out

1:11:54 This has been known for a long time, the spectrum was sold off. It was 80 billion dollars and somebody got happy I don't know who gets to keep that money and aviation had a long time to change this Why didn't they do it? Very expensive and the main manufacturer who has problems is Boeing. And that is because they have a different fuselage, they're not made of carbon fiber, they're made of sheet metal and rivets And so the signature that is sent down, it can get a lot of distortion. Also most of the Boeing aircraft have a two-dimensional, so 2 transmitters and receivers and not the 3 which gives you what is going to be required which gives you much better resolution This is used for one thing only really

1:12:46 the airport is socked in, this aircraft these aircraft can land automatically and from about 250 feet down is where this thing is doing all the work and it then has control over the FADEC, engine control that everything. It will land the aircraft so its only needed in specific instances although pilots have gotten a lot of responsibility taken away from them. It's been moving slowly towards what everyone knows is the next gen where you don't need pilots at all The interference can, I think 100% be solved by a proper radio which could cost easily $50,000 to put in and to purchase and put in but it could cost up to a million dollars per aircraft. To get into compliance and so what the this is between the FCC and FAA and the FAA put out airworthy directives for several Boeing aircraft

1:13:50 which then the international carriers took immediate advantage of and it went like this. Do we have a Boeing somewhere? Because that's the one we're not going to fly empty to America, and that's because well... We had to cancel it because you know it's all unsafe over there Look at who's canceling. They're cancelling empty flights, they can't do it quick enough in reality There's probably very little danger In this specific instance because all of that all the measurements everything has been done In practice, we have a much larger problem as I looked into this millimeter wave radar system because that is what 5G is going to be used for. You can measure distances very precisely We've got 5g signals coming down from satellites We are being inundated with this stuff not good at all and I think it's going to interfere with everything the major problem will be for autonomous driving

1:14:52 They're going to have a lot of problems with interference and it just comes down to what crap are you putting in the car Elon? So this is a money story. It's not really a safety story But in long term as I delved into The use of this millimeter wave radar in these bands, it could be a very big problem In general shit could get confused all the time particularly self-driving cars And that will be our report. That's the report I have a report? This is from this letter came in from one of our, from producer Chris. Hi John on episode 1416, a donor wrote in that she was asked about her vaccination status prior to having a breast MRI. She mentioned that they wouldn't perform one on her if she had recently taken the booster into her life. I have been an MRI technologist for 12 years and I'm happy to report on this. Yes

CHAPTER 28 / 65 Discussion

MRI False Positives Linked to COVID-19 Vaccine Lymph Node Swelling

An MRI technologist reports that COVID-19 vaccinations are causing enlarged lymph nodes and breast tissue swelling on the side of the injection, leading to false-positive cancer screenings. Radiologists now recommend waiting four to six weeks after a booster shot before undergoing breast imaging to avoid unnecessary biopsies and diagnostic confusion.

mri· lymph nodes· breast cancer· false positives· radiology

1:16:00 First of all, please tell Adam that the shots do contain graphene and the high-strength magnet will rip the graphene particles right through the eyeball. What? This is an MRI... No he didn't say that! That was a joke. He did say that but then it said JK. Okay I was gonna say no i don't believe that for a second okay well this has to do with the fluid i think Early on in the vaccine program, radiologists began to notice that the C19 shot enlarged the lymph nodes and surrounding breast tissue on the side the shot was administered. This would result in them reporting false positive exams and or overlooking cancer that was there but remained disguised by reaction from the shot. For a period of time, the ACR was not recommending breast screening tests be performed upto one year after receiving the vaccine

1:16:54 Now I believe the recommended wait time is four to six weeks. This all differs from place to place, either way this adds an additional challenge to our radiologists who read these exams there's no doubt that many women have probably had repeat shot short-term exams due to these abnormal findings and some have had to undergo biopsy to determine if the adenopathy is malignant or just a reaction from the shot Lymph node swelling is a rare occurrence with other vaccines and any names of bunch Unfortunately, it's very common and may happen to a greater than 25% to greater than 25 percent of women who take the vaccine into their life Dude, please do not this does not sound good. To me. No safe, huh? So there you go. We're in that out lymph nodes

Melbourne IVF Ban and Rapid Policy Reversal

Health officials in Victoria, Australia, briefly imposed a three-month ban on in-vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures, citing the need to prioritize hospital resources during the pandemic. The decision sparked immediate public outrage from couples undergoing fertility treatments, leading the government to overturn the ban within 24 hours.

melbourne· victoria· ivf· fertility treatment· healthcare policy

1:17:46 Damn. They get annoyed. Victorian health officials in Melbourne, they had just came out I think maybe a week ago and said oh we have to impose a three-month ban on in vitro procedures. I can only presume that's because they're worried about birth defects or miscarriages or you know it had to do with the vaccine and that was their decision but then People just lost their crap over this which I understand. I mean couples who are Doing IVF they're often at their wits end and then to stop three months in or three months is that kind of destroys the whole idea of maybe making it work, and then They'll just went and overturned it like a day later. It said oh okay well you do whatever he wants fine How does that work? You just do it this thing is so bogative

1:18:50 Unbelievable. Okay, I have one more thing we'll probably get to it though we're gonna do in the next segment another note which we probably should do some Biden stuff though well yeah i only have a few clips they have just that when I take you 1 2 3 4 5 got the best of mm-hmm did the best okay we start with I think these five clips say I got him glory blows up at some poor kid you saw no I didn't I didn't see it Oh, he just some kid asked us a not just innocuous question and a series of questions and Biden goes ballistic. And I thought that that was going to be the beginning of the end because this was with about another half hour ago. It was flipping out because it would... That was an hour in? Hour-and-a-half in then! Yeah. Hmm. And I think I was just you know, I watched the whole thing from beginning to end and recorded it now is this when Biden says we're gonna go as long as you guys want

James Rosen Questions Joe Biden on Cognitive Fitness

During his marathon press conference, President Joe Biden was questioned by Newsmax reporter James Rosen regarding a poll showing 49% of voters disagree with the statement that the president is mentally fit. Biden dismissed the question, stating he had "no idea" why voters harbored such concerns. The hosts discuss Rosen's history as a reporter targeted by the Obama-Biden administration.

joe biden· james rosen· newsmax· cognitive fitness· politico poll

1:19:52 You're like, it's over! I'm surprised you didn't text me. Watch him die Well it was just...I thought it was going to get better than it did. I am actually surprised that he did one thing because they talked him into this. You don't have an answer? Say I dunno Or got me. And he'd go to ask somebody else at the very beginning of the press conference, He had his little list of who to call on and they were rereading their question like good little boys and girls and He was reading the answer and then at some point They went off script completely and he says I'm gonna go as long as you guys want! And they was just picking people out of the audience and asking crazy stuff Great

1:20:40 The best one will be I start with the best that would just go from there the best of the best which is this One, this is the mental one. This is Biden best of the best men Thank you very much for this honor James Rosen with Newsmax to I'd like to raise a delicate subject but with utmost respect for your life accomplishments and high office you hold a poll released this morning by Politico Morning Consult found 49% of registered voters disagreeing with the statement, Joe Biden is mentally fit. Not even a majority of Democrats who responded strongly affirmed that statement. Well let you all make the judgment whether they're correct. So the question I have for you sir if you'd let me finish is why do suppose such large segments of the American electorate

1:21:38 have come to harbor such profound concerns about your cognitive fitness. Thank you." I have no idea! Isn't that James Rosen who they threw in jail? Obama and Biden threw him in jail, a reporter they threw him in jail for like a week or something yeah because he wouldn't tell them their sources oh yes that's what that's why it's like if you let me finish Oh my god, it's like he should do a podcast with him. So he does that and Biden goes I don't know then he points to somebody else they go off from there there's no follow-up. Wait let me back that up with Donnie Deutsch this is short 33 seconds of course Donnie Deutch who's on MSNBC The Morning Joe Show ex advertising dude

Biden's Bull Connor Reference and the Party Switch Myth

President Biden faced criticism for comparing political opponents to segregationists Bull Connor and George Wallace. The hosts discuss the historical fact that both Connor and Wallace were Democrats and debunk the "party switch" narrative often taught in universities. They argue that Biden's references are dated and fail to resonate with modern constituents.

bull connor· george wallace· democratic party· segregation· political history

1:23:21 Now here's where he blows up at the poor kid. Hold on, it didn't start... there we go! You dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace but you said that they would be sort of in the Can you explain for many Americans as well the Bull Connor statement? The comparison... O'Connor refers to a, I think Birmingham Alabama chief of police who was a gum chewing guy. Talked like this he's the worst kind of guy you can imagine. He's chewing up maybe got some tobacco in his mouth but he'd be talking about they said any what the Negros

1:24:05 And we have to get them under control. When was he around? He was the one that was associated most with the Birmingham spraying these poor blacks, they were simply protesting in the streets with water cannons and then sending dogs after him. We're out to get the dogs, you know the dogs are gonna get them out of here." And so they'd have these...and this all ran on the evening news and it just turned around the situation. George Wallace? George Wallace was a governor of Alabama or Georgia and George Wallace was actually

1:24:47 In hindsight, people think that he may have been somewhat misunderstood and just a populist going along with the program. But he was a segregationist and so George Wallace was a segregationist, Bull Connor was a nasty old Southern cop. And just so I understand, so Bull Connor and George Wallace were both Democrats? Yeah, of course. Just want to make sure I understood. So I'll bring this up so Jay's boyfriend brought up this thing at a dinner table we don't talk politics much because he's like you know he's like a liberal Oh well and he says this thing says well you know the yeah I brought this something like these guys are what you just did oh well you know the parties changed

1:25:38 Yeah, there was a switch. It would switch the switch parties that taught it in school I saw it in the book No They taught at Diablo Valley College He told me the teacher's name some guy who had taught political science At Diablo Valley College here in the Bay Area and and I said okay well who switched? And he says well you know and he says well George Wallace was Republican And I said, oh and he became a Republican. George Wallace was a Democrat and he died a Democrat And I said, and he looked across the kids. Kids right? You know they're millennials so you look it up there looking it up on their phone Oh yeah okay well what's somebody else then no you said George Wallace Well everybody else was give me one example One guy who switched parties He actually thought that they had literally Okay you guys we're gonna become Democrats You are going to become Republicans Okay ready Yeah Switch

1:26:35 No, I know this is but this was taught at University of Arkansas. This is taught at University of Texas This is this switcheroo business it's in the textbooks. I've seen it. Oh, I haven't seen it oh I've had arguments about it and like show me this in your textbook and there It is you know when we had the Dixie crutch and all okay? Yeah right then We had the big switch no that didn't different name for it Democrats, the big switch. It had some kind of name in all the literature. It's just so bogus but your point is well taken yes there were Democrats all of them and so the kid continues with getting back on track

CHAPTER 32 / 65 Discussion

Biden's Heated Exchange with Reporter Over Voting Rights Rhetoric

President Biden became visibly agitated when a reporter asked him to clarify his comments comparing opponents of voting rights legislation to Bull Connor. Biden denied calling specific senators "Bull Connor" but insisted that history would note who stood on which side of the issue. The hosts mock Biden's "unhinged" demeanor and his condescending remarks toward the journalist.

joe biden· voting rights· bull connor· journalism· civil rights

1:27:17 The kid brings up, because Biden in his last speech brought this up. He says well you know you're going to be on the side of the George Wallace's or at the side of the Bullock-Connors and he made some stink about it and so the kids just innocently asked him question here is what Biden does You dispute the characterization that you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace, but you said that they would be sort of in the same camp. No I didn't say that! Look what i said go back and read what I said and tell me if you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor that they were Bull Connor

1:28:03 That is an interesting reading of English. I assume you got it in the journals because you like to write? Hold on a second, oh my god this is fantastic he's unhinged! Let me just hear this beginning here... Look what I said go back and read what I said It sounds like ME when I'm mad at you this is great And tell me If you think I called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor, that they were Bull Connor. That is an interesting reading in English. You got into journalism because you like to write. So did you expect that would work with Senators Manchin or Sinema? No here's the thing there are certain things that are so consequential you have to speak from your heart as well as your head

1:28:56 I was speaking out forcefully on what i think to be at stake. That's what it is and by the way, no one forgets who was on the side of King or Bull Connor. No one! The history books will note it and when I'm making a case don't think this as freebie Man! I have no idea what he was talking about Other than you know, you're a dick. You're journalist. You write in the journal or something That's pretty bad When that happened knowing there's another half-hour good to go mm-hmm I'm just licking my chops Listen to this what is the cause of the so called switch many people who claim racist Democrats which parties to become racist Republicans Believe the change happened during the Civil Rights Act under President Lyndon B Johnson

1:30:06 Anyway, did he? The racist Democrats... For the racist Republicans. ...dropped their affiliation with the Democrat Party they're still affiliated with the Democrat Party I know but it's out there you know it's the mouse! It's a mouse! Well I'm gonna try- I'm a democrat but my party is not racist enough But also what president still wants to connect with his constituents by talking about George Wallace and Bull Connor Huh? Everyone goes, huh? Dated reference. Yes! Super dated. Yeah. Unbelievable. Um... It's like uh... Okay onward. Yeah what else you got? Here it is on the voting laws

CHAPTER 33 / 65 Discussion

Biden Questions Legitimacy of 2022 Elections Without Reforms

President Biden suggested that the results of the 2022 midterm elections could be "illegitimate" if Democratic voting reforms are not passed. He also alluded to potential executive actions to bypass state-level voting changes. The hosts compare his rhetoric to a quote attributed to Joseph Stalin regarding the importance of who counts the votes.

2022 midterm elections· election legitimacy· voting laws· executive action· stalinist quote

1:30:52 Ooh, okay. Biden voting laws... A moment ago you were asked whether or not you believed that we would have free and fair elections in 2022 if some of these state legislatures reformed their voting protocols? You said that it depends. Do you think that they would in any way be illegitimate Oh yeah, I think it is being illegitimate. Imagine if in fact Trump has succeeded in convincing Pence to not count the votes. In regards to 2022 sir? Well 2022! I mean imagine those attempts to say that the count was not legit

1:31:38 You have to recount it or we're not going to count, we're going to discard the following votes. I mean sure it is...I'm not saying it's gonna be legit as the increase in the prospect of being illegitimate is a direct proportion who has not been able to get these reforms passed." Yeah this he screwed up with this And he came out I guess earlier in the week and said it doesn't matter what the count is, it's who counts. Which I've been led to believe as a very Stalinist type of quote. Stalin apparently used to say as long as I can count the votes I don't care what you vote for or something of that nature so that didn't play very well and this actually have a report quickie from... Well before you play that report I want to say this

1:32:28 did, which is a performative. If this law's so needed is that telling us that all the elections in the past have been fraught? Well this is what people are wondering it's like well what do you mean you can't do this has it been broken all along and maybe politicos I don't know how many People aren't quite riled up about it just yet, but they will. This'll probably help. This is CBS explaining the path forward on voting rights which We've looked at some of these bills and it's all about drop boxes, making it super easy to just mail in a vote. It makes the fraud easy for the Democrats! Well for anybody but yeah I know the Republicans could do it too In fact I think on the right-wing talk shows you hear about a lot of these guys saying well I don't understand why the Republicans aren't standing up... Republicans don't do this? The Republicans have probably got as much fraud going on is the Democrats

1:33:29 better at it. Nora, he said that it will involve executive action but that he didn't want to reveal his strategy right now. Interestingly, he was also asked about frustration in the black community a feeling that he should have done more and should have done it sooner He said that it's a problem of my own making I should have been out there communicating more Executive action? That'll be interesting He'll get sued to bits over that I think. Oh, that's not gonna work. What kind of executive action can you do on voting which is a state's rights? These people are insane and the progressives are out there saying oh yeah we'll just take uh come uh come hooker crook we'll just do it with executive action okay that should be fun okay let's go to the Biden war in Yemen question

CHAPTER 34 / 65 Discussion

Biden on COVID-19 Origins and Hunter Biden's Chinese Ties

President Biden claimed he pressed Chinese President Xi Jinping for transparency regarding the origins of COVID-19 during their virtual summit. However, he completely ignored a follow-up question regarding his son Hunter Biden's involvement with a Chinese-controlled investment firm. The hosts note Biden's ability to skirt uncomfortable topics during the press conference.

china· xi jinping· covid-19 origins· hunter biden· transparency

1:35:18 for him. And then we have my last clip will be this one to be serious skirting, skirting the question again and he must have been taking some seminars on this because he's done a I think on this press stuff of that time you blew up at the poor kid who held it together pretty well actually I'm very surprised and here's a good example even though again is just a bunch of crap During your three and a half hour virtual summit in November with the Chinese president you didn't press for transparency And also whether that has anything to do with your son's involvement in an investment firm controlled by Chinese Here we go. The answer is that we did I did raise the question of transparency? I spent a lot of time with him

1:36:02 And he, the fact is that they're just not being transparent. Transparency on the coronavirus origins? Yes. You did during a virtual summit. Is there reason your press staff was unaware of that and what did you say to the Chinese president? They weren't with me the entire time. Made it clear that I thought that China had an obligation to be more forthcoming on exactly what the source of The virus was and where it came from. Oh, that's what he thought Yeah Because his buddy Xi Jinping who we've spoken more and longer too than any world leader in the in the known universe His buddy is using ping yeah He thought was gonna be forthcoming

CHAPTER 35 / 65 Discussion

US Intelligence Warns of Russian False Flag in Ukraine

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and other officials warned that Russia has pre-positioned operatives to conduct a "false flag" operation in Eastern Ukraine to justify an invasion. The hosts compare these warnings to the film "Wag the Dog," suggesting the administration is manufacturing a narrative to distract from domestic issues.

russia· ukraine· false flag· jen psaki· wag the dog

1:36:50 And he goes right to the next question, never even addresses the Hunter Biden thing. He did a beautiful job of this! Yeah that was... well good for him then. Yes what I thought What disturbs me always is behind all the bumbling are a bunch of pretty shrewd people who were writing these words not these press questions and answers but his actual speech I heard very clearly, now we've had a whole week. In fact, i'll just play this quickie just to accentuate the point This is what we have been hearing all week We have information that indicates Russia has already pre-positioned a group of operatives To conduct a false flag operation in Eastern Ukraine The operatives are trained in urban warfare and using explosives to carry out acts of sabotage against Russia's own proxy forces

1:37:42 Our information also indicates that Russian influence actors are already starting to fabricate Ukrainian provocations in state and social media to justify a Russian intervention, and so divisions in Ukraine. I mean, they don't even have to do anything at this point. Just slap some footage together and a voiceover everybody will believe it Russia invaded! Invaded! False flag! Wagga the dog It's totally wag the dog Wag the dog But here is... Here is the little bit that Biden said that got people a little bit rattled in Ukraine So I think what you're going to see Is that Russia will be held accountable

CHAPTER 36 / 65 Discussion

Biden's "Minor Incursion" Comment Stuns Ukrainian Officials

President Biden sparked a diplomatic firestorm by suggesting a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine might elicit a lesser response than a full-scale invasion. CNN reported that Ukrainian officials in Kiev were "stunned" and "horrified" by the remark, viewing it as a green light for Vladimir Putin to seize territory. The hosts analyze the distinction between an invasion and an incursion.

ukraine· vladimir putin· minor incursion· cnn· kiev

1:38:20 it invades and it depends on what it does. It's one thing if there is a minor incursion and then we end up having to fight about what to do or not do etc... Now I saw this term pop-up earlier in the week, there's difference between invasion and incursion! Yeah this is a big deal this was this is one of the two items that got everybody's attention during this period period. We just and he just kind of drops it in casually well over on CNN while this was taking place um Jake Tapper brings in their guy on the street from Ukraine and this guy he was so befuddled by, he could hardly speak were Biden's remarks interpreted there as a less than wholehearted

1:39:05 warning to Putin to not invade. Well, I mean that's an understatement. They watch those remarks with horror One Ukrainian official who i've been in close contact with while this marathon press conference is underway said that he was, and im quoting here that President Biden would give a green light to Vladimir Putin in this way, that the US president would distinguish between an incursion and an invasion. And it suggests that a minor incursion would elicit you know a lesser response than

1:39:42 a more full invasion. The big concern of course, which is what he was alluding to is that it gives Putin and this is another quote from me said gives the green light to put in to enter Ukraine at his pleasure and that's not just one Ukrainian official other Ukrainian officials have responded in a similar way Kiev in the words of another uh is stunned by what President Biden had to say the reason for that is twofold first of all a minor incursion is perhaps the preferred option of Vladimir Putin. There's been a lot of talk in military circles about land corridor being seized in the east of Ukraine by Russian forces where there are tens of thousands troops gathered, of course, in order to connect the war zone, the rebel occupied war zone and the Crimean Peninsula which has already been annexed by Russia so that's kind of an incursion that would you know perhaps be the number one optio

1:40:37 giving Putin the green light go ahead come on in it couldn't be any clearer what these people are doing and it's obviously not about Ukraine. Now this was CNN so I thought that was quite spectacular for them to go holy crap what did the president just say lots of stuff to talk about what Putin is doing in Russia but first I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the sea in Mayakulpa ladies and gentlemen Mr. John C. Dvorak! In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry also in the morning ship Seaboaster Graf in the air service of water dames and knights out there

Health Insurance Marketplace Frustrations and Troll Room Update

Adam Curry describes the difficulties of purchasing private health insurance in Texas, noting that individuals are often forced through the "marketplace" database even if they don't qualify for subsidies. This leads to persistent solicitation calls and limited competitive options. The hosts also check in with the "Troll Room" and promote their social media presence on Mastodon.

obamacare· health insurance· marketplace· texas· blue cross blue shield

1:41:17 All right in the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Let's see how everybody did as we go As usual let's see 2362 and is that my phone ringing? Why is my phone ringing and that's no good 401 spammer, you know what I hate getting now too is a You can't get insurance unless you get it through the marketplace ever again for the rest of your life, I guess. And even though... Yeah! If you want to just buy insurance yourself privately which is what we have to do, a podcaster and all that then you cannot buy directly from the insurance company. You have to go through the marketplace and so in essence- Is Texas sure this is everywhere? Pretty sure

1:42:07 I'm pretty sure. Well, I have no idea since I use Medic. Yeah and I tried Blue Cross Blue Shield everything was uh... And we wound up with High Oscar disaster insurance but it goes to the marketplace and then What does that even mean? It's that's the Obamacare marketplace you go in there they determine that you do not qualify for free health care so here's your bill and then you clickety-clack and then eventually you get from Oscar, you get a bill. So it is not competitive? What do you mean it's not? Yes, it can't go to Blue Shield and say hey you know blue cross will do a deal for me. They're giving for 500 bucks a month I can do this and that and the other thing is tomorrow we'll give you a better deal We'll give it to you for $495 That's what the marketplace does they show you all the different packages all the different options But what they do is they suck you into that database They're calling you for six months after You've already gotten the insurance And then they start calling again because enrollment period is starting

1:43:09 Mmm, so that's my gripe. 2362 I think we had on the troll count good to see you here trolls They are at Troll Room dot IO is where you can hop in troll along and and be a part of the fun the action and say rude things, and post horrible links about how John and I have messed up in the past. It's really quite rude but that's why it's a troll room! So trollroom.io you can listen live noagendastream.com You could do this for any of the shows across Gitmo Nation which is 24-7 on noagendastream.com Thank you all Let us remind you that noagendasocial.com is where John and I can be found if you're looking for us on actual social media, Twitter is a very poor way to communicate these days and certainly have any kind of thread of conversation No Agenda Social does it well, it's a Mastodon server

Episode 1417 Artwork Review and Community Meetups

The hosts review the artwork for the previous episode, "Get Boris," created by Roger Roundy, which featured a "False Flag" theme. They discuss various submissions from community artists like Darren O'Neal and Nick the Rat, debating the merits of different visual concepts. They also mention Roundy's involvement in the No Agenda meetup community.

1:44:03 and that means you can connect to it from anywhere, you have a Mastodon account. Follow at John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com or at Adam at noagendasocial.com Let's thank the artist for episode 1417 we titled that one Get Boris could not have been more appropriate that Boris is making crazy moves and it was well another topic that carries over today this was The Arts brought to us by Roger Roundy It Was The False Flag Yeah, it was kind of interesting because it was just a flag. It's false! Just the flag. Now we felt that the font was nice We felt the background worked Well no but he also had it mapped Yes Which takes up a little time He mapped The words False Over the flags so it was like you know flaggy looking Yeah it was good

1:45:00 And it was mapped on it nicely, which takes some skill. Now we wound up with this because as we were looking... I liked the Vaxboy or whatever it was from Darren O'Neal and you said no! I'm sick of Darren O'Neal. He does all the music in the morning and everything else, and all he wants to do is everything! That's exactly the problem... And i said no, Darren O'Neill's a good guy! Yes screw that guy in Chicago!

1:45:41 We looked at every single one of the three dolphins, the killer dolphins. And none of them really hit it... I kind of liked the... which one did i like here? I liked the Mike Riley one and the mean-looking dolphin with a harpoon The Build Back Better hats did not work at all It was not funny. It just wasn't actually an instruction when we talked about it And that's the thing, it's like I think I said in the show wear the build back better hats. Well now you know why they're not here because no one will wear it They're not interesting to look at No one wants it go away Sorrow sisters Just didn't quite have it um well this is all new from today what else was there? Oh um Now you like Nick the Rats COVID kids

1:46:35 I did like, I liked Nick Durratt's COVID Kids a lot. But there was a problem with the kid in the bag it didn't look right with the hand coming out of the bag it was a technical error. It wasn't...it didn't quite yeah it was not quite executed perfectly but it was definitely my favorite except for the Vax kids I liked that one too much. No I hated that because you know Darren I just can't have any of that. Roger Roundy, thank you very much for bringing us the artwork for episode 1417. He's off to some rally I think this weekend in DC. He is huge in the community of meetups Oh totally yeah oh yeah he's always popping up

CHAPTER 39 / 65 Discussion

Plague Doctor Imagery and Modern Podcast Apps

A listener points out that a character in a recent piece of show art was a "plague doctor" from the Dark Ages, known for wearing a beak filled with herbs. The hosts use this as a segue to encourage listeners to switch to modern "Podcasting 2.0" apps to protect the medium from the influence of Apple and Spotify.

plague doctor· dark ages· podcasting 2.0· apple· spotify

1:47:22 Consider saving, protecting and extending and enhancing podcasting by using a modern podcast app. You're all... Sorry? Before we go away from the art I do want to read something And I don't know maybe you knew it. I don't think..I mean I knew what the image is but this is from our producer James. I believe that Beacon Hat character from show 1416 Is a plague doctor from The Dark Ages I've gotten a couple of notes about this. Yeah, that seems to be the most common use of that appearance Is it looking crazy looking thing top hat? Yes, I didn't I mean we picked it because there's a great-looking Image and it is reminiscent of something but I didn't realize at the time by thinking back on yeah Okay. Yeah you're right It was the plague doc. Oh, you didn't know this no oh yeah, I think the people who watch the series The Great are

1:48:20 probably recognize it right away because it shows up in that one. Yeah, when the ads yeah, it's about castings are great you should watch it and very good yes It's the it's the plague beak and those beaks they used to put all kinds of herbs and crap in there which they thought Would stop the plague from killing the doctor? Yeah, so I'll tell you this much The doctors who didn't die it worked on them it did but only with a booster beak now They need For all of these images which you can see in a modern podcast app, go to newpodcastapps.com but really consider upgrading your podcast app to protect and enhance podcasting because Apple and Spotify don't care about your podcasts and they rip stuff off and they're going to make it not work and suck and they de-platform and there's just no good so try a modern podcast app

Sequential Odometers and COVID-19 Anecdotal Evidence

Baron Husky Bottoms shares a story about his vehicle, "Cecil the Diesel," hitting a sequential odometer reading of 345,678. He also provides a detailed anecdote about his family's experience with COVID-19 in Tennessee, noting that he did not catch the virus from his wife but later tested positive despite having no antibodies. The hosts express fatigue with anecdotal COVID stories.

odometer· cecil the diesel· tennessee· antibodies· rapid tests

1:52:41 Baron Husky Bottom, the Sheriff of Leapers Fork 34567. Hello comrade! This will go towards the eventual knighting of Cecil The Diesel whose last contribution was 333,333.3 miles. This donation of 34567 will match the affordable version of its odometer reading which recently hit." Did you see this picture? No. This is the one you want to get so I and I remember he sent in a donation at three three three three three his odometer was 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

1:53:22 Wow. And so he kept it at the affordable 34567, but we do love those sequential numbers and Cecil the diesel has picked up a vibration that is worrisome but I have faith he can make it to 400 000 and has one more trip west in him. I've struggled with the transition of being an employee this last year after 18 plus years of entrepreneurship my last- A lot of deep by the way a lot of diesels go a million miles yep certainly the engine yeah well yeah My last position was extremely rewarding due to the people I work with and the projects we had. Unfortunately, leadership was a rudderless ship that was not on a path I wanted to travel. I was able to hit some folks in the mouth and would like to call out Greg as...a douchebag! I haven't heard him donate yet. My hope is that I was able to show enough positivity that some of it will outlast my tenure

1:54:15 COVID anecdotal evidence wore a mask in the beginning late February 20 in Tennessee to about late April 2020. At that time I'd been winding down my company selling equipment at auctions, yard sales potential asset buyers and other events that exposed me to hundreds of thousands of people then because of this sale 2020 allowed me an opportunity I could not get again! I was able to road trip with my kids over half the country for two months Wow right on dad visiting all sorts of family and destinations while zooming in for school, I presume. Dangerous living one would think until my wife tested positive in late August 2021 she was for sure sick with fever and flu-like symptoms. I did not distance slept in the same bed pretty sure I mouth kissed her nothing happened two months later I felt like crap and left work and requested antibody test and rapid tests for work result was no antibodies and a high positive for COVID on a rapid test

1:55:06 Fever for three days sure felt bad the strangest thing being my skin hurting I've heard this not making any assumptions But based on my experience it could be as near transmissible Based on two years of activity not interested in the argument but would think this kind of information might be valuable in assessment phase If anyone was interested, you know what? Uh, I don't think we're interested anymore In any anecdotal kovat stories. Yeah, I love that people send them in but It's all the same It's never the same is the point. Nothing is uniform Jobs karma says Baron Husky Bottoms and we are happy to deliver that jobs jobs jobs and jobs Next is an I awaited their music Oh did I miss him? Oh my goodness, I didn't even see the name. I'm so sorry this

Cyber Attacks in Ukraine and Microsoft's Involvement

National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan and Microsoft reported the discovery of destructive malware in Ukrainian government computer networks. While the U.S. has not officially attributed the attack to Russia, Sullivan noted it fits the Russian "playbook." The hosts discuss Ukraine's reputation as a hub for cyber activity and the history of CrowdStrike.

ukraine· cyber attack· microsoft· jake sullivan· malware

2:09:26 Do I have any Russian stuff? I don't know. Why don't you start? Okay, so we ended with Psaki hyping the false flag... Let us go to well maybe let's just bring in Jake Sullivan who is in our State Department there. Is he also an assistant or deputy Douche? He thinks he's a deputy douche. I think he is a douche. He's on with Margaret over at CBS. Microsoft last night said they discovered all sorts of highly destructive malware in computer networks in Ukraine, Ukraine was hit by cyber attack earlier this week as well Is Russia using this to prepare the battlefield and will a cyberstrike draw US sanctions? Cyberstrike

2:10:20 We've been warning for weeks and months, both publicly and privately that cyber attacks could be part of a broad-based Russian effort to escalate in Ukraine. We've been working closely with Ukrainians to harden their defenses, and we will continue to do so in the days ahead. We're also coordinating with the private sector companies like Microsoft both in Ukraine and here in the United States in case there are potential cyber attacks that unfold in the coming months here Of course it's possible that Russia could conduct a series of cyber attacks. That is part of their playbook, they've done it in the past and other contexts We have not specifically attributed this attack yet neither we nor some of the key private sector firms have attributed it but were working hard on attribution and we will do everything we can to defend and protect networks against the type of destructive malware that Microsoft flagged in their blog post last night

2:11:15 So Microsoft's in on the game. Well first of all let's stop right here and mention the fact that Ukraine is always seen as one of the great cyber destroyers of the world, they sent out them and Iran, surprisingly enough. I mentioned this on the show all the time. And North Korea somehow. But Macedonia... I remember talking to some security guy once he says yeah we start tracking down some of this stuff and as soon as we see any Ukrainian IP address we just stop because it's going nowhere CrowdStrike is of course by origin a Ukrainian company so when Jake the Snake says oh yeah we got the private sector in there, remember that's where the Hillary Clinton server went? CrowdStrike had... I don't forget these things easily.

2:12:03 Crowdstrike had the server they took it to Ukraine. Crowdstrike, the ping-ping boom thing Yeah the pewpew the pewpew map I don't know no I think you they have become but by default because there's such douchebags But I don't think it was actually them who was the the PewPew company with someone else there we go that's it Someone in the troll room will probably know Norse that's right. N-o-r-s-e, norse they had the map but it might as well just there might as well been Crowdstrike It's also bogative all right we continue with the with Jake because

CHAPTER 46 / 65 Discussion

Attribution of Cyber Incursions and Potential Sanctions

The Biden administration is working on "attribution" for the recent cyber attacks in Ukraine before determining a response. Jake Sullivan warned that if Russia is found to be "pummeling" Ukraine with cyber warfare, the U.S. and its allies will coordinate severe economic consequences. The hosts remain skeptical of the "Russian fingerprints" narrative.

2:11:15 So Microsoft's in on the game. Well first of all let's stop right here and mention the fact that Ukraine is always seen as one of the great cyber destroyers of the world, they sent out them and Iran, surprisingly enough.

N-o-r-s-e, norse they had the map but it might as well just there might as well been Crowdstrike It's also bogative all right we continue with the with Jake because

2:12:42 Because this of course, you know if it's a cyber incursion... Well the Ukrainians are saying it looks like. It has some Russian fingerprints on it Why wouldn't this draw US sanctions? Why are you waiting for Vladimir Putin to go further and actually cross the border Aren't we already in the middle of a conflict? Well first Margaret as I said before We need to work through attribution And again, as I said this is part of the Russian playbook so it would not surprise me one bit if it ends up being attributed to Russia. But let's do first things first Let's get attribution and then make a determination about what we do next In terms of sanctions what we have laid out is a very clear message to the Russians

2:13:31 And we've done so in concert and unison with our allies that if they do further invade Ukraine there will be severe economic consequences and a price to pay. And yes, of course if it turns out that Russia is pummeling Ukraine with cyber attacks and if that continues over the period ahead We will work with our allies on the appropriate response. There's no real conflict! Maybe maybe yeah maybe not I was just going to say my series of clips is about the short notice. Suddenly Blinken has come up with this concept that the Russians are going to attack on short notice... Oh, hold on! Hold on! I want-I'm gonna play the Blinken clip and then i wanna hear your Blinken clip because that'll be perfect

CHAPTER 47 / 65 Discussion

Antony Blinken Warns of Imminent Russian Action in Ukraine

Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Kiev to warn that Russia could launch an attack on "very short notice" due to troop buildups in Belarus and near the Ukrainian border. U.S. officials expressed concern that Russia might station nuclear weapons in Belarus. The primary threat from the U.S. is removing Russia from the global dollar-based financial system.

antony blinken· kiev· belarus· nuclear weapons· financial sanctions

2:14:23 So this is again CBS, the Central Intelligence Broadcast System. Now Russia is everywhere these days I think they're war gaming in Belarus Kazakhstan for all intents and purposes there's a media stop nothing coming out of Kazakhstan I mean yeah there's videos and bit shooters Out there saying yeah, the president's gone. Everyone's flipped everyone's fled There's no there's no government or I don't know if that's true from the mainstream All I can get is the president fired the defense minister But I don't know we just don't know we haven't at the Russians are still in Kazakhstan We have no idea about Ukraine or about Belarus but Anthony Blinken He's on the kite this is our

2:15:15 the Secretary of State. With Russian troops now in Belarus for war games, U.S officials are increasingly concerned that Ukraine's neighbor may help Vladimir Putin attack. My guess is he will move in President Biden said today he expects Putin to defy him but at great cost This was not all just a cakewalk for Russia Militarily they have overwhelming superiority But they'll pay a stiff price immediately, near term, medium term and long term if they do it. Ukraine now says there are 127 thousand Russian troops encircling it giving Putin the option of invading from the north from the east where his forces have been positioned since November and from Crimea in the south we know that their plans in place to

2:16:04 increase that force. Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Kiev today warned Russia could take imminent action. That gives President Putin... You know what that is? That is a reporter who hangs out with Victoria Nuland and that gang because most people will say Kiev, Kiev is no longer said because that's still like 80s but Kiev but this Kiev thing.. We discussed this when it first showed up in the news which was during the Obama era. And it turns out that Kiev is the correct pronunciation, but it's affected as far as we're English you know where if we speak English American English and yeah we have our way of pronouncing things We don't say Paris or France So we say Kiev

2:17:01 Well, this is a milieu thing. That's why I'm pointing it out. The east where... Oh it's totally a milieu thing and that tells you who's in charge. Forces have been positioned since November and from Crimea in the south We know that there are plans in place to increase that force Secretary of State Antony Blinken in Kiev today warned Russia could take imminent action That gives President Putin the capacity also on very short notice to take further aggressive action against Ukraine. And new concern among US officials tonight that Russia might put nuclear weapons next door in Belarus while providing future aid to Ukraine gets bipartisan support Republican lawmakers urge swift action now sanctions and actions need to happen now

2:17:49 So the sanctions are removing Russia from the global financial system? That's the threat, I believe. That's the big one? Yeah! I like that. You can't use dollars. Okay we'll use Remembe. Well how about... Yes!! or maybe euros, don't undercount those European Union guys. They won't back us! They need their gas coming into Germany You know to risk ruining the dollar with this sort of a play that's the last thing we should be doing So stupid I mean of all things we want to do We don't want to take the dollar out of play Okay how about this is... Even with the Russians How about this? This is The Great Reset

CHAPTER 49 / 65 Discussion

Economic Fallout of Russia Conflict and Hollywood's China Pivot

The hosts discuss the potential for a "Great Reset" triggered by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, noting the danger to the dollar and global energy markets. They also observe that Hollywood is becoming "unwoke" and self-censoring to maintain access to the Chinese market, citing examples of nixed plotlines involving corrupt Hong Kong officials.

global energy markets· natural gas· hollywood· censorship· china

2:23:40 And this is a point Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized today as he visited Ukraine. It makes other countries think that they too can violate the rules of international peace and security, and put their narrow interests ahead of the shared interests of the international community. Ah perfect! Yup This is exactly, this was on Fox Business News. They took this to its logical conclusion. This has me very concerned. I mean, just the danger to the dollar, the danger to global energy markets, uh... The issues—just all issues with China, with Taiwan Maybe this is the playbook! Take it all down! Let's do it! Reset it

2:24:56 Well, there could be a reset. If the reset takes place it gives it to China because Russia's not going to do anything economically worth of crap No but... All they got their one they got their cash cow which is pumping gas into Eastern Europe and pumping gas into Germany Well yeah at six times the price right now so you know this would behoove the whole green climate change movement It's a lot of things in one You know, we cut Russia off. Okay so the first thing that happens is no gas... glass will be a problem flowing to Europe and not going to stop overnight but there's gonna be issues because how are we gonna pay for it and you gotta do stuff in Russia will be pissed! So maybe they say hey you know Germans yeah I'm not gonna give you anything just give it all the China

2:25:40 Yeah, that's where it's all gonna get routed. It's gonna all go to China. Yes! The gas... there'll be the world currency They already started their own movie industry and are kicking all Hollywood people out? Well actually Hollywood is bailing Well because they can't do anything, get anything done No they can't get any money out of these cheap bastards Uh yeah Now this feeling doesn't feel good. They don't get the big dough they expected, but then the Chinese are pushing them around about what they can say and do! You can write that? It makes my uncle look bad. My favorite one is just one of these anecdotal things I read in The Trades

2:26:27 One of the movies was about a Hong Kong gang and all this other stuff, and one of the things was they had to... it involved having a corrupt police commissioner in Hong Kong. They just nixed it! No you can't do that we don't have any corruption in this country or anything to do with us. And no girly boys on television either? Yeah well that may be a plus Well, you know what's kind of interesting because Woke Hollywood yeah, they're leaving I'm sure many will try and stay but they now in essence have to become unwoke in order to work In China you can't be all that Lee. Yes is very ironic um so Larry Fink

Larry Fink on Stakeholder Capitalism and the Anti-Work Movement

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink's annual letter to CEOs promotes "stakeholder capitalism," a term the hosts link to Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum. They also discuss the "Great Resignation" and the rise of the "anti-work" subreddit on Reddit, which they suggest is being promoted by Chinese-backed algorithms to destabilize the American workforce.

larry fink· blackrock· stakeholder capitalism· reddit· anti-work

2:27:12 who is a part of this big game as far as I'm concerned. He's the CEO of BlackRock, who now in his annual letter which he sends to CEOs and it's published far and wide... Yeah, it's Warren Buffett Well, he does control 10 trillion dollars so he does have some power And his whole letter is explaining how, here's our word, stakeholder capitalism and who did we first hear that from? Klaus Schwab. Is not woke! No no no this is just capitalism, stakeholder capitalism of course just pay no attention to the equity part of it but in this letter he writes about why everybody's quitting

2:28:07 And this is something you and I have been keeping our eye on, yeah. Yes we've tried to follow this... And he says because the old world of work is gone! And when you think about it... For him. Well, when you think about it there's some truth to it but what really happened is the social contract has been broken across two generations and you were supposed to be able to work hard and make enough money to have kids in the family and send them to school You know? The American dream. Own a house. Yeah! A house would be nice so that's broken It's not there anymore and people are disillusioned but they're also being

2:28:47 pushed and you actually said, hey wait a minute are they pushing this great resignation? And the answer partially came to me yesterday. And Scylla actually shot me a message. She says that if you look at Reddit, you go to the homepage of Reddit... Now I don't know if that's... If you have to be signed in or not? I'm not! I will turn off my piehole for this one time because I block Reddit from all my life. She says they are continuously pushing the anti-work subreddit

2:29:24 it's always the top of the page. Oh really? And the anti-work subreddit subtext is unemployment for all, not just the rich! Would you like to hear a few entries just at random from from the top here or is this just me? I would love to hear but I will make a suggestion for people out there who want to go in this direction which I'm sure they want too...I'm gonna go back to something I saw probably when I was in my first year of college and some House I went to visit some guys that were a bunch of inveterate gamblers and they never worked the day in their life And they never will probably still don't it's just so there's not completely anything new but this sign was God is unemployed Wow, that's pretty deep when you think about it. Here we go

2:30:16 As a freelancer, client removed his payment info from our weekly billing agreement. I stopped work! He said he didn't think i would stop working!" See it's all about how unfair everything is. Yeah yeah to some degree my dad bragged that he worked 100 hours this week. He's 63. I just felt sad that he saw nothing wrong with that see this is exactly why out of touch owners thinks there's a labor shortage And then it has $11 an hour for a web developer in California. You got to admit they got a point there, $11 an hour! Manager tells me I'm not behaving like an adult as i gave my notice for being underpaid one-third of my pay slip A lot of it has to do with not feeling rewarded

2:31:09 and not feeling satisfied in the work. Manager suggested I tell my very pregnant, very sick wife to man up because i've got a career to focus on! And then...I did. I left so yeah people are leaving for the smallest things. You could put together a Reddit, a subreddit with endless petty grievances? That's what it is Yeah that's what it is. Resolved by unions. Yeah well that's not gonna happen anymore Those days are over So it does seem to be a concerted push, certainly with the Algos and we all know who took the most recent $300 million stake in Reddit. Who? China! Hello! China could do this they could get away you know they have some propaganda chops they're not going to control the media tell people what to do

She has been it said engaged in the facilitation of financial donations to political parties parliamentarians and individuals seeking political office in the UK To ensure the UK political landscape is favorable to China's agenda and to challenge those that raise concerns about Chinese activity Yeah, sounds like every country does that in every government if possible Of course. Let's listen to this guy, this is an NBA player at all one of these big centers with it who looks like Eastern European origins I think he's Muslim and he's a I guess befriended or knows Yao Ming the great Chinese basketball player that so famous over there was good player here

Boston Celtics center Ennis Cantor-Freedom has been outspoken on his criticism of human rights abuses in China He responded to her request to visit China from former NBA star Yao Ming on social media today I want to be very clear, i have nothing against Chinese people. My problem is with the cultish Chinese Communist Party and the brutal dictator Xi Jinping. I would like to come to China this summer and see everything with my own eyes but on this trip will we be able to visit Uyghur slave labor camps?

2:34:42 Or visit the innocent woman being tortured, raped and abused. Will we get to see how the regime destroys bodies after harvesting their organs so there is no evidence? Nice! Or will you show me propaganda only?" Freedom went on to ask if they could visit Taiwan, Tibet and Hong Kong together And pointed out how Chinese communist rule or the threat of it has adversely affected them Somehow I miss the video footage of the tossing out bodies after they've been de-organized. De-organized? You know, I don't doubt that they have these Uyghurs enslaved and they're torturing them but it would be fun to see a little more evidence than just that one drone footage of them at the station with their hoods on you know The Chinese can let the media in they won't do it No

Golden State Warriors co-owner Chamath Palihapitiya faced backlash after stating on a podcast with Jason Calacanis that "nobody cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs." Palihapitiya claimed the issue is below his personal concern threshold. The hosts discuss the "douchebag" nature of the comments and the lack of pushback from his co-hosts.

2:35:47 So I mean some is going on or the Chinese would, they can't even propagandize away from it. Usually they have enough skills to be able to make it phony and up they can't even get that far. I think why this is needed is...I don't think this resonates. I do not think people care. You know Uyghurs its a faceless type of person you don't know what a Uyghur looks like We've never seen him, not really. We've seen him with hoods on you hear a lot slaves tortured but yeah this... Well the clip I didn't get which I now irked about

2:36:26 is the small partner, is a 10% co-owner of the San Francisco Warriors. Oh! Chamath The Douche what's his name? Yeah he was on with Jason Calacanis They never... I saw it over and over again and no one ever mentioned Jason ever By name, they show his face every so often. I guess it was some podcast he does this week in startups or something. Yeah and that guy... is his name Chamath? I think it's Chamath He's always on that show Well, he got Callie Kannis to go, what? And the guy said I'll just summarize. The guy says, I don't know about the Uyghurs who cares this dumb you know nobody gives a crap about the Uyghurs and went on and on about it Now he said that...I think he said um that uh That's really not high on my things of worr- well yeah that how we finish This is on my to do list like at the bottom He just went on about it total douche

2:37:29 I mean, there's things you can say. There are things you can think and meanwhile Calacanis... I never mentioned his podcast what the name of it was they just had this guy yeah and i thought that was bad marketing on Calacanis' part. I don't know if Calacanis wants that stink on him Well, CaliKantus was pushing back. I thought he was doing a pretty good job That's what i'm saying maybe he just doesn't want that and he just let it go away. I don't want that stink on me Maybe maybe no, yeah, I can't believe that I think you'd want the stink So him um but let's if we're done with that we can move straight into climate change because uh Why not?

Texas Power Grid Dispute and Winter Weather Warnings

A legal dispute between Energy Transfer Partners and Luminant threatens the stability of the Texas power grid during winter. Energy Transfer Partners threatened to cut off gas to power plants over a $21 million debt stemming from the February 2021 storm. Luminant warned this could leave 400,000 homes without power, leading to calls for the Railroad Commission to intervene.

texas grid· ercot· energy transfer partners· luminant· natural gas

2:38:22 We have a, yesterday we had 70 degrees here in Central Texas. This morning it was 28 and that was quite a shift. We got the typical bells and whistles and warnings from the cable company to the electric company. Oh! It's going to freeze you never know what could happen But if you look at the aggregate of all the stories that are out there, wouldn't it be beautiful if we could have a Russian cyber attack on Ukraine on the grid? We might as well do Texas. And we're kind of primed for once again this story after story about how crappy are the Texas grid is

2:39:03 Here, from Texas Monthly. The Texas electric grid failure was just a warm-up everybody! Yeah now listen to this... Well this is an incredible development stemming from our storm last February our winter storm last February energy transfer partners which sells and moves natural gas throughout the state sent this letter last week to Luminant the state's largest power generator saying it owed them 20 $51 million and that if it didn't pay that money by this Monday will then quote energy transfer Partners would be unable to provide offers or deliver gas to at least five of luminance power plants

2:39:44 Luminant says that would eliminate power for 400,000 homes on the Texas power grid. Today Luminant a subsidiary of Vistra asked the Railroad Commission to get involved saying energy transfer partners' threat to terminate service in the middle of winter is illegal and grossly irresponsible and should be prohibited by this commission The estimated 21 million Luminant allegedly owes can be traced back to last February Energy Transfer Partners which by the way made 2.4 billion during the storm selling natural gas says Luminen overordered natural gas supplies after the storm and was charged a 21 mil for not using all of it leaving it in the lines. So none of this will be the story, but it is happening so if they don't have gas and we get another cold snap just surprising Arctic blast that freezes up We won't have it! It's a setup. It's obvious to me

bill gates· world economic forum· carbon tax· clean products· nuclear energy

2:40:43 They really, really... It looks like one. Yeah! It's setting up to be a setup that's for sure Let's learn a new term from Bill Gates this is from one of the multiple Zoom calls that were recorded for the World Economic Forum virtual version 2022 How are we really going to make it from a fossil-based fuel society into renewable society? Where do you see the new real breakthroughs, and how are we going to make sure that we set the price on externalities. So do be internalized externalities that we are currently

2:41:22 seeing in the global energy mix? Well, the rich countries have to play a central role both funding R&D and having policies. In some cases carbon taxes will be used to drive the demand for these clean products. Ah! There it is. And only by doing that in an aggressive way will the economic costs be brought down enough that we can turn to all the middle-income countries and say, okay change your whole cement industry. Change your whole steel industry and yet it's not holding you back from your economic growth

2:42:10 The number of companies working on these things is very exciting. And some of them will fail, a lot of them will fail but you know we only need... You notice he does his little tell there about a lot of them will fail? The number of companies working on these things is very exciting and some of them will fail, a lot of them will fail but yeah reasonable number, a few dozen of them to make it through and that's what we have to accelerate. I like the clean products meme these are clean products that may be launched. Nah, not jacked up about it so much. No just when you get one out there you gotta pay attention to it clean products it's a good way to put it and how do you just change your cement industry without

2:43:16 How does it work? You need you don't you need oil or what do you need yeah, you got me started but going ah throughout the whole clip. It's hard to listen to him because it's even harder when you're doing ah-ah-ah-ah! It's even harder to listen to them when you're doing that how do you make cement I don't know I think it does is I think its energy It requires a lot of heat. I think you have to... Okay, oh! We can do that with solar panels That'll be fine it'll work out fine. Yeah mirrors smoke and mirrors that's how we're gonna do it. I look it up I find if here what the process is yeah Oh my goodness Why would he bring that? Why would he throw that in all this and is he invested in some new fangled version of cement well he's investing in nuclear He's invested in nuclear

2:44:14 That's it. Well, he has been invested in nuclear for probably 25 years Yeah but he made some new investments that he announced last year just in time for the crunch Well I don't see him doing a very good job of promoting it Oh! It is not time yet No no no...that will be 2023 This is going to take awhile We are not going to wake up bank holiday and everything is broken It's gonna be a slow boil so we don't figure it out.

These are photos from a criminal complaint filed in court today it shows Anthony Carollo his brother Jeremiah and their cousin Cody Volin allegedly standing in a mob outside the US Capitol and later inside walking single file through the Capitol Rotunda we will follow the facts wherever they lead. According to the criminal complaint, the FBI identified the three men through Google records that pinged their phones to the Capitol grounds the day of the insurrection. Investigators later linked their addresses to photos on social media and their driver's license records. The Justice Department remains committed to holding all January 6th perpetrators at any level accountable under law

2:46:01 whether they were present that day or were otherwise criminally responsible for the assault on our democracy. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court just cleared the way for the House committee investigating the events of January 6th to review records from the Trump administration. More than 700 presidential documents that could shed light on the events leading up to the insurrection will be released Trump tried to block this from happening, claiming executive privilege. But the Biden administration supports releasing the records to the committee saying it's in the nation's best interest.

2:46:43 Yeah, for misdemeanors. The largest they're spending all this money on a bunch of misdemeanors. This is unbelievable. Now there's this story that's really kind of interesting it's the Ray Epps story Yes because now all of a sudden he's coming to court Yeah, he's gonna go drag him in there under oath. He already came in once but it wasn't under oath But this is the situation with where Ted Cruz kept grilling some FBI guys. This guy... No no the lady! The lady with the shitty haircut Ugh, that horrible lady with the shitty hair. Let's listen to these two Ray Epps things and see if you can catch the little gotcha in here which I think is like telling the truth with a lie kind of thing this is Ray Epps 1. Okay

2:47:44 What's the little gotcha in this? Let me listen again. Ray Epps, a man who encouraged protesters to enter the Capitol on January 6th last year will speak under oath before lawmakers on Friday Some suspect Epps is an FBI informant but his lawyer denies the accusation Oh FBI informant? No, he's an FBI agent provocateur. He is an FBI agent! Yes not a...not informant This is what Ted Cruz tried to get out of that crazy woman and she said I don't know or I don't think so I can't tell you because it's under...I can't say. This Epps is so much a spook the guy glows in the dark give me a break Here we go at part two Epps attorney John Blischak is a former FBI agent

2:48:32 He told the Epoch Times that Epps will meet with the January 6th committee at his law offices. A spokesman for the House panel didn't immediately respond to a request for comment Epps' lawyer says Epps has already spoken with the committee. He added that they were satisfied with Epps answers, but due to the recent accusations the panel is placing him under oath Republican senators sought answer about Epps from national security officials last week They asked if Epps was a fed but the officials said they couldn't answer Despite being caught on camera encouraging protesters to enter the Capitol Epps hasn't been charged and was removed from an FBI most wanted list Well, yeah now a couple of things. He's not going in front of the congressional hearing No, he's not know if you listen to that clip carefully You would have noticed that he's going to be giving testimony in his lawyers office

2:49:36 Oh, that's not on... I thought like under Zoom or something. Well, I mean that's a possibility it could be under Zoom but why is he just going to testify like that woman did? Well, if the Supreme Court Justices don't have to show up why would he? Well there is only one, only the freak, the Freak Sotomayor Well, this guy's... This is stinks. I can only presume they've got this locked up so there's no embarrassment There's no egg on anybody's face It just seems like this is too good to be true. Yeah well it stinks you know?

University of Michigan Sexual Abuse Settlement and Doctor Joke

The University of Michigan agreed to a $490 million settlement with over 1,000 victims of sexual abuse by the late sports doctor Robert Anderson. The victims were primarily male athletes. John C. Dvorak concludes the segment with a classic "morning zoo" style joke about a doctor and a glass rod treatment for hemorrhoids.

university of michigan· robert anderson· sexual assault· settlement· humor

2:51:25 And this is the University of Michigan sex scandal. This is not the University of Michigan State sex scandal where they had these, the doctor was feeling up all little gymnasts. This is a half-a-billion dollar settlement for a doctor who was feeling up all the football players. What? Yeah. The University of Michigan said it would pay $490 million to over a thousand people to resolve claims of sexual assault. A thousand plus claims of sex abuse are against a former sports doctor at the university

2:52:03 NTD's Jason Perry has the story. After two years of negotiations with attorneys of the sex abuse victims, The University of Michigan has agreed to settle all claims of abuse by the late Dr Robert Anderson The allegations of abuse happened over decades and out of the 1050 sex abuse claims, the victims were mostly male athletes. A report by a firm hired by the school determined that Michigan staff missed many opportunities to stop Anderson over his 37-year career The nearly half a billion dollar payout is pending approval by the school's Board of Regents and the courts. And $30 million will be placed in a reserve for unidentified victims who may come forward before July 31st, 2023

2:52:49 Jordan Acker, the chair of the Board of Regents said in a statement that he hopes the settlement will begin the healing process for the survivors. Anderson was a physician for the Michigan football team and other athletic programs at the university where he worked from 1966 until his retirement in 2003 He died in 2008 Parker Stenar, a lawyer representing some 200 claimants in the University of Michigan settlement said he hoped the case would bring awareness of male survivors of sexual abuse because they are often viewed less sympathetically by society and can be reluctant to come forward. So that's what three four hundred thousand dollars per person? Well you got a thousand people yeah you kind of do the math but it may be more it's a lot

2:53:39 Now, is this... 300 million. It's almost it's all yeah it's probably about 400 thousand. So did we miss this whole thing? I mean all of the there's got to be other people other people who were guilty who knew what was going on and then there's no other... No! This a scandal It's a huge scandal and what the hell was this guy doing to these guys? Hey, just bend over I gotta do a check here. This reminds me you know...I used to be the joke editor believe it or not of The California Pelican University of California humor magazine And what the and it just reminds me of a joke that I put in the magazine which I don't know we it was basically a job where you steal jokes from other humor magazines. Other college humor magazines, so is all... Did Amy Schumer have this position as well at one point? It was probably! It was a joke stealing job and but it was just all collegiate kind of humor and there's this one joke which reminds me of this case. Okay, the joke goes something like this

He's gotta do it couple times a week. It's adding up! He's getting kinda sick of it. And he says, Doc is there any way that I can... This is costing me too much money. Can anywhere I can do this at home or something else we can be done here? He says yeah well okay the doctor reluctantly says but the glass rod's kind of expensive it was a thousand bucks believe me that'll save me money so he sells him to the glass rod and takes it home to his wife and gonna have her do their treatment. And he says honey you're going out to do the glass rod treatment for my hemorrhoids

2:55:23 He says, okay what do you want? He says okay well the first thing you do is get the glass rod out and he says put your right hand on my right shoulder and your left hand on my left shoulder.

3D Printed Habitat for Humanity House in Virginia

NPR reported on the first "owner-occupied" 3D printed Habitat for Humanity home in Williamsburg, Virginia. Adam Curry describes seeing similar "automated mud flappers" in action, noting that the technology primarily prints the cement walls but not the roof or doors. The hosts critique the media hype surrounding the "first" status of the project.

3d printing· habitat for humanity· williamsburg· cement printer· adobe

3:13:24 and I'm scared of science! And that's all i got. Right? Yeah, it's what I got. Okay, I got one... One and one only which I think may win which is the whoa Biden. Whoa whoa hang on guys yeah that's the one hello how could you even question that one beautiful What else we got on here? I've got a... this is an old one that's been carrying with me for awhile, Clip. And this is about the 3D printed house on NPR and it just short clip, only 26 seconds but there was a little thing in there that just kind of irked me when I heard it

3:14:04 Building a house can be expensive and time-consuming, so why build a house when you can print one? Well that is exactly what Habitat for Humanity is doing. This is the first 3D printed owner occupied habitat home in the nation That's Janet Green CEO of the Habitat for Humanity chapter in Williamsburg Virginia she presented the inaugural 3d house at a ceremony to a very grateful mom and her 13 year old Yeah, I have some info on this maybe. What's the irksome part? This is not the very first printed 3D house but the way they couched it all down... It's like- It's the very first 3d printed house by them! No no wait it was even longer than that The very first 3d printed house owner occupied

3:14:53 Habitat for Humanity house. That came at the very end, yeah it's a bullcrap hype Yeah they've been printing 3D houses for years Yes in fact It was basically just a cement printer you know Well I saw it in action at Community First Village Oh they had a printer there? This was year ago when I went to visit them so Habitat for Humanity Oh that can't be this is the first one! Yeah sure why think not And it was kind of weird because It's like Play-Doh, the way it worked. I don't know...I haven't seen these... Yeah this habitat looks the same! It is exactly the same so it does these layers So you have the foundation which is cement and then there's in essence a blueprint of the walls and it just does the walls. It doesn't do the roof. It doesn't do well some I think you know this internal walls that does obviously but not...it doesn't do doors. You have a structure kind of like replacing drywall and wood

3:15:53 It's less impressive than you think it is when you see it. It's an automated mud It's an automated mud flapper Is it's like in Adobe? It has a very very real Adobe kind of look to it, yeah You Is it Adobe or Adobe? No, Adobe. Adobe right yes. It's Adobe. I don't know...I'm a dope! Let's go with okay. I got really one other stupid clip which is the weird this is uh this is a clip on NPR I heard and they're

NPR's Framing of Record Drug Overdose Deaths

NPR reported on the record 101,000 drug overdose deaths in the U.S., largely fueled by fentanyl and methamphetamine. The hosts criticize the segment's attempt to find "positive news" and "hope" within the tragic statistics, characterizing it as a way to fill airtime with "musical beds" and abstract narratives.

npr· drug overdose· fentanyl· methamphetamine· cdc

3:16:31 And this is the beginning of like 15 minute report, I clipped in a minute 28. And it's the way they're trying to couch overdoses on NPR so the overdose problem in the United States which is just horrendous. They're trying to couch it as some sort of good thing It's a story that is heard and felt in every corner of the country. And contrary to what you may think, there is some positive news on it. The CDC is sounding the alarm about a record number of deaths in America from drug overdoses... But we're going to start with the more concerning news. Federal data released last week showed that more than 101 thousand Americans had died of drug overdoses in a 12 month period

3:17:15 That was another record number. It translates to about one American dying from a drug overdose every five minutes. Fatal overdoses are at a record high in New York and nationally, and that is fueled by few things first of all the pandemic alarming numbers out of Cook County which has disrupted treatment programs new numbers from King County show the records setting depth of methamphetamine use is also not Fox County is on pace to set an all-time high in suspected deadly overdoses. And the deadly opioid fentanyl is more prevalent than ever. We've already had more overdose deaths in East Baton Rouge, Paris than any other year ever. But the numbers... An 11% increase in D.C. Can make this story feel abstract. 21% in Maryland and hopeless. Virginia reaching a 36% jump in cases. Yet there is another story that we don't hear as often

3:18:07 A story that ends not with overdose and death, but with recovery and life after addiction. And like other areas of health care there's massive disparities What is all that? Yeah It's so bad that it blew your connection out That's really bad I don't know what the point of it was, but it's trying to make... there is hope. It's called filling air time is what it is. There's hope! They filled a lot of air time and they had musical beds later in it But there's hope.
