About this episode

President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping held a high-stakes video call to address the escalating conflict in Ukraine as Russian forces intensify missile strikes on Lviv. The White House warned of severe consequences should Beijing provide material support to Moscow, while the Kremlin continues to pivot its domestic narrative toward the alleged threat of chemical warfare. Meanwhile, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is actively lobbying Slovakia to transfer S-300 air defense systems to bolster Ukrainian resistance against the ongoing invasion.

Secondary developments include the U.S. Senate passing the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent, despite warnings from neurologists regarding biological rhythm disruption. In the corporate sector, Koch Industries and McDonald's face scrutiny for maintaining operations in Russia, even as the U.S. Treasury facilitates a $117 million sovereign debt payment to prevent a Russian default. The CDC recently corrected a significant data error that inflated pediatric COVID-19 deaths by 24%, while the New York Times finally authenticated the Hunter Biden laptop emails previously dismissed as foreign disinformation in 2020.

President Zelenskyy continues to lobby for a NATO-enforced no-fly zone amidst rumors that his recent video addresses utilize green-screen technology. Russian cosmonauts caused a stir at the International Space Station by arriving in yellow and blue flight suits, which Roscosmos later attributed to a surplus of yellow fabric rather than political solidarity. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak analyze these media cycles alongside the latest Podcasting 2.0 features and the rise of the decentralized No Agenda Social community.

It rained pretty well in the area of California where we pointed the rain sticks on the last show Good! I got a lot of reports people like hey man this worked it's great Now the problem is it's dangerous. It's so good well I'm worried because you know The back end of the stick is what Texas always gets a couple days later, so who knows what's coming hopefully rain We need to hear too.

Ukraine is in the news. Yeah, I've heard about this and there's a lot going on and there's a lot to deconstruct. Well what's to deconstruct from what i can see yeah it's the fact that they're telling us just... They're giving us news items under leaving out important details constantly. Oh yeah that would I would say that's true

CHAPTER 02 / 53 Discussion

NBC Now and Streaming News Service Competition

The hosts analyze the proliferation of streaming news services, specifically focusing on NBC Now and its competition with MSNBC and CNN. They evaluate the production styles of various anchors including Tom Yamas, Hallie Jackson, and Katie Tur, noting that these streaming shows often provide more depth than traditional half-hour network broadcasts.

nbc now· msnbc· shepard smith· hallie jackson· tom yamas· katie tur

03:16 For example, just as I have some clips that show this from Shep Smith. Oh you know? I've been watching Shep Smith myself a little bit. I gotta say he has kind of a fun show it's different than anything else You know what's interesting on all the networks besides Shep Smiths' show which is good to a point but he really does a poor job in this Ukraine thing and I think and i have some examples But every show, every network now... I think NBC is the best example. And I think it's because of MSNBC and also CNN. They've decided on NBC Now which is their streaming service which competes with MSNBC. Everybody has got their own news show so Hallie Jackson has got a show Tom Yamas has got his show

04:11 But what's her name? I'm always ridiculing her name. Joy Reed, Joy Reed? No no, Joy Reed is still where she is. Stephanie Rule, Rachel Maddow... I don't know who you're talking about. No, no, I'm talking about NBC. These are NBC personalities. Oh, um, Nora, no Nora is uh... Deborah, what's-her-face? Who was the...? Katie Turrer. Oh Katie Turrer! She has her own show on MSNBC?! No these are... I'll start over MMM now you got me going NBC has a thing called NBC Now it streams. I got you okay, so online and it's also on So they're doing like a Fox Nation where everyone has their own show which is on the streamer whichever one believes is the future

04:57 And that's why they're all there for no money, for no money. For no money by the way. Now you're on the track! Yes I know what's happening over here... No money, no future. Okay so they all have shows and there's more of them this is a whole bunch of those are the ones that are most prominent. Yamas who should be an anchor anyway he's good and then Jackson and Turrer and there's a couple others And they're all this exact same news show, differently produced. Yeah! That's how you do it! You can either watch the regular Lester Holt Show for a half hour or watch any one of these and they're an hour long. They are generally better. Now the Jackson one if you get to watch that

05:43 It's slightly overproduced with a lot of graphics flying around and every time you see a graphic, you hear a ding or a bong. And it's like... But they're all the same news show except each one has their own take because each of the anchors is their own editor-in-chief and they think it should be this way or that way. Yama's show was really good. The other two aren't so spotty The other two it is a there's a bunch more and these are our long shows. Yeah, they're hour-long news shows Okay all pretty much with the same content I don't know I don't know what this oh, I thought you were gonna play a clip of one of these fine programs Oh no, I don't have one Play clips from him now and again but now just Shepard Smith that I consider to be in the same league. We do have a clip from him okay?

CHAPTER 03 / 53 Discussion

Shepard Smith Reports on Russian Military Phase Two

CNBC's Shepard Smith provides a military update on the conflict in Ukraine, detailing Russian missile strikes in Lviv and logistics struggles in the east. The report suggests Russia is entering a second phase of invasion focused on consolidating the south near Odessa and encircling Kiev, while President Zelenskyy requests advanced weaponry.

06:38 I do have, I think it's the Shep... this will be the we're looking for a summary show. It's some...I didn't look at my list yet. I'm looking at your list. I don't see anything with Shep Smith in here Yeah, if there was to say CNBC are all Shep Smith Bogged down report let's start with that All right Not much in terms of Russian troop movements, but much more in terms of Russian missile strikes. We heard about one out here in Lviv overnight. Essentially the Russians are moving their strikes further to the west trying to interdict those supply lines

07:15 This is going to be a major issue. We've got to keep that military aid flowing in and humanitarian aid flowing in, to keep the forces in Kiev and sustain them over time. Separately out here on the east, the Russians still getting bogged down struggling in terms of logistics and resupply and keeping these corridors open constantly met by Ukrainian opposition That's obviously a surprise for them but the bigger story ultimately is down here in the south We're starting to see again more resupply in the Sea of Azov. They are using their naval support to essentially bring in more supplies here and reports a more landing craft and Navy ships, Russian Navy out in the Black Sea seems like phase one other military invasion is complete they're trying to consolidate reorganize and resupply and phase two looks like they could focus both here on Odessa trying to seal off the southern part Ukraine

08:04 and encircle Kiev. But the Ukrainian military is doing an amazing job, and they have more weapons on the way. The US and its allies bringing more javelins in for anti-tank, more stingers for anti air, and you heard President Zelensky say he would like to receive MiG jet fighters—you've heard debate about that in the country—lots of hesitation that might be an escalation war but The s300 is an anti-missile essentially anti air defense Weapon system used against cruise missile strikes Slovakia may provide those in and Russia has also said that if they do they will try and intercept these as well Blow them up. I think got a clip on that as well yes, here's the clip on the weapon shipments This is from CBS the Central Intelligence broadcast systems

CHAPTER 04 / 53 Discussion

S-300 Missile Systems and Javelin Shipments to Ukraine

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin lobbies Slovakia to provide S-300 air defense systems to Ukraine to replenish their anti-air capabilities. The United States continues to ship thousands of Javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger missiles through Poland and Romania to counter Russian armored vehicles.

s-300· slovakia· lloyd austin· javelin missiles· stinger missiles· pentagon

08:56 Defense Secretary Austin stopped in the Eastern European nation of Slovakia to lobby for an urgent shipment of the air defense missiles which Ukraine has been using to keep Russian warplanes at bay. Our goal has been to continue to reinforce those things that have worked for, for the Ukrainian forces. Slovakia uses the same Russian-made system known as the S300 as Ukraine So it could be pressed into service immediately without any need for training. It has a range upwards of 80 to 100 miles and can gauge targets up to 80,000 feet Retired Air Force General David Deptula They've been firing those missiles they have the radars they have the launchers what they need are the replenishment missiles The Ukrainians also need a resupply of the anti-tank weapons They have been using against Russian armored vehicles

09:51 especially the javelin, which pops up and strikes tanks from the top where the armor is thinnest. On Wednesday, President Biden promised to send 2,000 more jackets plus 7,000 other anti-tank weapons. That's far more than the number of tanks that the Russians have inside Ukraine right now so I think that leaves them in very good shape to continue this campaign for some weeks or months to come. Weapons shipments are being driven across the border from Poland and Romania So far the Russians have been unable to intercept them. They're gonna simply have to do that, to shut off the flow of lethal aid and if they don't the tide could turn against them As a television producer I keep looking for The Stingers and The Javelins...they have thousands of them! And thousands more coming

10:44 Are they so they've already sent I think either 2000 or 2600 and then it's in another 2,000 and I'm just not I'm not seeing it on the screen. Where's the money on the screen? I want to see some money shots. I want us. I mean, I've seen some sure I've seen some maybe five how much you wanna 2000 how much you wanna bet we get a whole bunch of javelins and stingers showing up in Africa in a couple of months Well, it would probably be longer than that. But the Stinger thing is more interesting because Russians aren't flying... In fact listen to this report and see you can catch very subtle they won't discuss it in any detail This was what bothers me about these coverages This is the attack on Lviv CNBC Russian forces have largely stalled across Ukraine but Putin's offensive is widening toward the West

CHAPTER 05 / 53 Discussion

Russian Precision Strikes on Lviv Aircraft Repair Facilities

Russian forces utilized long-range cruise missiles fired from the Black Sea to destroy a MiG-29 aircraft repair plant and a NATO training facility near Lviv. While Western media reports on the use of hypersonic missiles, the hosts express skepticism regarding the availability of such technology in active production compared to standard Russian cruise missile variety.

lviv· mig-29· cruise missiles· hypersonic missiles· black sea· nato training camp

11:32 As we reported here, Russian forces attacked the city of Lviv about 50 miles from the border with Poland. A Ukrainian official said a Russian jet fired six missiles right over the Black Sea toward the city. Lviv's mayor reports that missile struck an aircraft repair plant near the city's airport He said work had already stopped there so nobody is reported hurt So what did Russian forces do attacking Lviv? And what are they planning to do next Okay, yes the question never answers and I'm gonna tell you they attacked Lviv for two reasons there was an NATO training camp there which they blew up but the main thing was just outside the airport was the number one facility to work on those MiG-29's. The only one in the country! Ah okay... And they blew it to smithereens it's not in Lviv They didn't attack Lviv he kept saying they attacked Lviv

12:29 They attacked, and if you listen real carefully they say Russian MiGs or Russian jets or... it weren't the MiG's, the SU's that shot them into those facilities from over the Black Sea. Yeah well that's... but that's the thing with with the Russians they literally can fly within their own airspace and fire From there their range is incredible. So they're not even flying over Ukraine when they do this if they do this They flew, this is... you know how far that is? Yeah it's quite a while. Quite a ways. It's 500 miles! Well they can do more than that No they have cruise missiles that go 3 000 miles and supposedly in fact I have the list of them of the cruise missiles Russia has the biggest variety of cruise missiles in the world

13:29 And the ones that can go 5,000 miles even though they don't usually carry those on jets but these may have been carried on jets with a range of about 700 miles. They can hit within 12 meters. I have a target, but we start with the war in Ukraine and Russia We start with the war in Ukraine Oh surprise surprise War in Ukraine and Russia claiming to abuse hypersonic missiles for the first time in this conflict striking a weapons depot Hypersonic missiles seen here in Russian video of a training exercise last month are nearly impossible for ground defenses to shoot down and can be fired from more than 1,200 miles away. Putin turning to the air as his ground forces stall Russia's defense ministry releasing this video not independently verified by ABC News claiming they show precision air strike on Ukrainian military vehicle

14:21 Tonight, an urgent search is underway after a strike on a military facility killed dozens of Ukrainian troops. These images are from Kharkiv, a city devastated by Russian bombs. Rescuers digging through the rubble there talking to a man buried in the wreckage they were able to pull him out alive And here in the US, former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush showing their solidarity with the people of Ukraine wearing blue and yellow ribbons on their lapels bringing sunflowers the national symbol to a Ukrainian church in Chicago. Okay I called bullshit on that clip What do you mean? The clip is clearly bullshit. They're talking about something they have no video of. Yes, besides the bullshit part of the clip that's obviously bullshit but I call it bullshit in the beginning of the clip there's no evidence that we are using hypersonic missiles because they don't have any in production and they've got these other ones they got tons of them and the reason for this clip

15:20 I believe, because I have a clip another clip talks about how the we need more money. Yeah. Because the Russians and the Chinese have exactly that's the only reason the war machine is going full tilt for me but the cruise they are cruised missiles they're shooting him off 500 miles away or longer and they can put the coordinates in they have their own GPS system And they drop them on these spots that they want to blow up, including the NATO facility which shouldn't be there in the first place and which is peopled mostly by Canadians according to Canadian news. And the facilities do their repair so if you get any jets over there now they can't even fix them as you know planes like that need to be looked at all the time.

CHAPTER 06 / 53 Discussion

Chemical Weapons Warnings and Bio-Lab Narrative Shift

The U.S. State Department and Secretary of State Antony Blinken issue warnings that Vladimir Putin may be preparing to use chemical weapons in Ukraine. The hosts observe a rhetorical shift in media coverage where previous discussions regarding biological laboratories are being replaced by warnings of imminent chemical warfare.

chemical weapons· vladimir putin· antony blinken· bio-labs· state department

16:12 So we're getting, we're getting just like bits and pieces of coverage. It just sucks! Well how about this? This is my favorite... We went from the bio weapons labs or maybe they were just bio labs or maybe they were just labs or who the hell knows what but we've just changed that Good evening and thank you for joining us on this Thursday night. You're welcome. Tonight, even with Russia stalling in its invasion of Ukraine— Stalling? —the brutality of Russian forces has shocked the world. Brutality! Total brutality! The secretary of state with an ominous message today warning that Vladimir Putin is growing more and more desperate and could be preparing to use chemical weapons. When did this—I told you they were doing this. All a sudden bioweapons are now interchangeable with chemical weapons

CHAPTER 07 / 53 Discussion

Zelenskyy Green Screen Controversy and Nobel Peace Prize

Debate intensifies online regarding the authenticity of President Zelenskyy's videos, with the hosts analyzing audio "studio hiss" to suggest certain outdoor addresses may be filmed in front of a green screen. Simultaneously, Nobel Peace Prize officials consider reopening nominations to include the Ukrainian leader.

volodymyr zelenskyy· nobel peace prize· green screen· maidan square· deep fakes

16:56 There's even less evidence of the chemical weapons than there is of the hypersonic missile. I haven't seen no evidence of the chemical weapons! No, but it's fear-mongering. Oy yoy yoy... Did you see that the Nobel Peace Prize officials want to reopen the nomination process so they can have Zelensky be eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize? I love that Yeah, he's a bit smaller. So there is so much fakery going on now and even... Well it's... I was gonna say even BBC took down videos saying these are deep fakes of presidents and it's not true when it's both Zelensky and of Biden And there's this other video which I did want to play real quick just a little piece of it Of President Zelensky walking on Maidan Square

17:56 at night. Now it's that iconic shot, you know it was kind of the yellowish light and he walks... You know he is walking up to the camera and so there's this raging debate online It's like this is green screen no its not man! Its green screen! And we can easily tell if it's faked because we have the audio and we are audiophiles Tell me if this sounds like it's outdoors in Maidan Square That's Studio Hiss.

18:43 That's not outdoors. It is totally hit and you can't talk at that level outdoors. No, no, no. We are a free nation, free country. You generally don't talk like that outdoors? No complete bullcrap! Yes. Now from what I understand...I don't know if you've seen it but it really does appear that Zelensky and Putin have had communications in saying well you know We just can't be a part of NATO. That's the only way to stop this It's not getting a lot of play, but it seems getting no play Okay, it seems like there's consensus for these guys I agree But the show must go on that's why yeah That's right by the way you mentioned the you mentioned the and changing the rules with Nobel Peace Prize listen to this one This is a this is like what? Listen play the gold medal clip

CHAPTER 08 / 53 Discussion

Defenders of Ukraine Congressional Gold Medal Act

Representative Dusty Johnson and Ukrainian-born Representative Victoria Sparz introduce legislation to collectively award the Congressional Gold Medal to the defenders of Ukraine. The move follows a video address by President Zelenskyy to the U.S. Congress calling for increased military aid and secondary sanctions.

dusty johnson· victoria spartz· congressional gold medal· volodymyr zelenskyy· congress

19:47 South Dakota's lone US House member Dusty Johnson says he was moved by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speech this morning. Zelensky addressed Congress by video from Kiev. Johnson released a video on social media with his reaction And he talked to us about how America, as the leader of the world needs to be a leader of peace. He asked us to continue doing what we're doing and go a step further put secondary sanctions on those who are doing business with Russia make sure that they're held accountable and provide Ukrainians the tools that they need to defend themselves It was a powerful address and I think it is going to change the tenor of the conversation here in Washington

20:30 Today, Johnson introduced legislation with Representative Victoria Sparks a Republican from Indiana who was born in Ukraine. Their bill is the Defenders of Ukraine Congressional Gold Medal Act The bill would collectively award the congressional gold medal to the defenders or people of Ukraine. Johnson says it would make clear that America stands with Ukraine and it would honor those defending their country The Congressional Gold Medal is the highest civilian award in the U.S.. They're really laying it on thick now, aren't they? So they're going to give you not even America's are just going to start giving them to Ukrainians. Yeah of course yes! They are the world, they are the children, they are peace...they're bringing it Well before we go onto anything serious But its all so performative It's 100% performative This is a theater show

CHAPTER 09 / 53 Discussion

Comparative Casualty Reporting and Media Propaganda

The hosts compare media portrayals of Russian and Ukrainian casualties, highlighting the use of emotional imagery such as refrigerated rail cars for Russian soldiers and grieving civilians in Kiev. They critique the narrative framing that depicts Russian forces as stalled and increasingly targeting civilian infrastructure.

cbs news· russian casualties· ukrainian casualties· kiev· vladimir putin

21:26 It's get was like Tommy and Gina's wedding. This is stupid 11 seconds calls for renewed spending oh, yeah Yeah, it was obvious week some of the funding for one high pro Thank you as the war rages in Ukraine there are renewed calls for more military spending here in the United States But that one-and-a-half That clip needed re-editing. Yes, I botched that clip! I've got a couple clips here just about, you know the propaganda. What they're bestowing upon us but we do have casualty counts that was asking for it and wanted on the screen like COVID but they're not going to give that to me CBS has two reports The Russian casualty report 33 seconds The Ukrainian casualty report one minute and one second Russia first According to US intelligence since the start of the invasion three weeks ago more than 7000 Russian troops have been killed

22:27 A dozen of them are here, a refrigerated rail car in Voznesensk. Some still teenagers perhaps like so many they didn't even know they were going off to war. The Russian military won't even acknowledge they exist says this scout codenamed Ghost Russia is treating their own soldiers like meat leaving them to rot he says That doesn't sound at all like propaganda does it? with pictures of dead children, dead young boys. That's fantastic. You don't treat meat like that you don't leave it to rot...you put in the refrigerator! Exactly Here is the Ukrainian casualty report In Kiev I mean if you want to start a report

23:16 That's the way you do it. A crying babushka? Nothing like that. In Kiev, a son cries over the body of his mother killed when a downed missile sent shrapnel and shards of glass tearing through the neighborhood The Ukrainian military said this is the result of a missile that was intercepted and you can see the level of destruction. Every single window is smashed out, not just here but in the surrounding buildings. Imagine if this was a direct hit. Nadia Yurasyuk told us she has nothing left And where are you going to go now? I don't know She said I am alone My son died a year ago I don't have anyone

24:02 I hope that Putin dies. I curse him." Nadia is not alone in her anger or fear, with Russian troops unable to make any significant ground progress toward the capital in recent days they're increasingly turning to launching strikes into civilian areas with devastating and terrifying effect Now the Russian counter to that is, hey you know they were putting tanks it's the same as the Israelis and the Palestinians. It's the same old same old. Yeah they're using them as human shields are doing this now doing that. I was listening one report in there talking about like this kind of what we're doing at the deconstruction

CHAPTER 10 / 53 Discussion

John Brennan and the Intelligence Community Media Presence

Former CIA Director John Brennan appears on CNBC to discuss Chinese interests and the Russian invasion, while former Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz discusses nuclear risks on HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher. The hosts note a specific "spook cadence" common among intelligence community figures appearing as media analysts.

john brennan· cia· bill maher· ernest moniz· kara swisher

24:42 They said, what are we going to do about Western media using Russian talking points? Yes. I think we need to lock people up that will be the start there was that that was part of it Yeah But what are the Russian talking points at anyone's using? I don't know what they I mean I think is one and I think I may have used one myself no the Russia shows ago which is D not suffocation denotification That's one Russian talking point The other one is you guys started it So if you recount the history going back to 2014, if you go back to 2005... Right. 2014, yeah. Then the provocation was constantly on the table. That's a Russian talk show. No! That is in fact carrying H2O for the pooty-poot. Well let's listen to I got some clips from...I can't believe it that I've gotten an opportunity because haven't seen him for awhile John Brennan Yeah he's back on this scene and just didn't clip it but last night

25:43 We watched Bill Maher on HBO and he had Ernest Moynson, you remember him? Ernest Moynsohn was in charge of the nuclear regulatory agency during Obama with the crazy white hair. It kind of looks like a mushroom on his head. The crazy guy yeah so now he's with some think tank to stop nuclear war but he was talking and it was The cadence, the word choice... 100% Brennan. I'm sitting there and going like this guy's a spook! He probably sleeps next to Brennan. I should have clipped it out. I'll bring it for Thursdays really incredible because because I think I do I do I do think you think

26:28 that Brennan is in a milieu that has that cadence and it's an intelligence milieu. And the spooks are always trying to keep hidden as best they can, really need to do something about this. This is like that woman who was out and about, she was talking... The woman that was in charge of disguises and some other stuff, she's retired And she said the CIA, the CIA lady who was on with Kara Swisher. Yeah she mentioned that their agencies are always weirded out about social media because they don't know if you're on too much or too little

27:14 If you're not on at all, does it make you look like a spook? Well how about this one. if you sound like a spook because your in the milieu Does this make you look like a spook cause you are! Okay Just little tip for them Little tip everybody Focus less on the social media and more on the words coming out of your pie hole Yeah how bout hanging out with different people Lets go with Brendan on War One Now by the way he was on Shep Smith and they brought him in as, you know like the old great guy. And half the stuff he says he can't possibly know. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said China is already on the wrong side of history for not condemning the invasion. Officials today would not say whether in today's call President Xi described Russia's actions as an invasion at all

CHAPTER 11 / 53 Discussion

Biden and Xi Jinping Video Call Analysis

President Biden held a two-hour video call with Chinese President Xi Jinping to warn against providing material support to Russia. While the U.S. emphasizes consequences for evading sanctions, the hosts argue that the European Union is actually leading the economic response rather than the United States.

joe biden· xi jinping· china· nato· sanctions· belt and road initiative

28:06 Kala Tausche, live tonight. Thank you. Sean Brennan now former CIA director and an NBC News senior national security and intelligence analyst Director Brennan thanks isn't this Russian invasion against the Chinese interests I mean they're investing in infrastructure around the globe as part of their Belt Road initiative war in Europe I mean that hurts that and yet they're staying on the sidelines at least in public Absolutely, it is against Chinese interests. And I also think it just demonstrates that she President Xi took President Putin at his word that it was going to be a quick invasion of the Ukrainian military was going to be able to fold over and it's not an hour after three weeks of this military onslaught by Russia. I think president realizes that quite frankly he's made a mistake in terms of maintaining this neutrality and also not counseling Putin against going in Wow

28:58 That would be the American talking points. He took Putin at his word. How does he know that? He doesn't know that! He doesn't know that at all, he took Putin and is worth it's gonna be in and out in two days right really right okay so he's full of crap and he's just kind of making it up as she goes along but Considering President Biden had a chat for two hours with President Xi and not much came out of it, is this now... are they what are they teeing up? Are they teeing up Russia and China where we set in China up for something else I mean what what is the point of it. We know it's bullshit but what's the reason for it? Well maybe when we play that I have some really good analysis of the Biden talk

29:48 But let's go to Brendan going on and on about stuff he doesn't know anything about. He is just making it up, and by the way can not listen to these clips and not hear the Brendan commentary about being guilty until you're accused of a crime. Shall we remind everybody? Yes please play it! This is on MSNBC People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity That's right, baby. That's how we roll First Amendment Second Amendment all of the amendments All right, here we go. This is a longer clip I think i can cut it off but this Brendan on the war But for the U.S to lead now NATO nations in this consensus against Russia certainly is contrary to what China has tried to do which was to take advantage of fissures in the west and they don't like the idea that now The United States is leading this coalition of NATO and the international community against Russia Okay stop it there! Let's... he does this a couple of times And I want to make sure that everyone's aware

30:53 This, we've known from our own clippage and what we both have put together is that the United States is not leading this. No in fact the EU led these swift sanctions by law no we're not we're not we're not in charge of much No, except we're in charge of the purse strings because they're using our taxpayers money to ship. Purse strings and marketing! Come on we got the marketing gig... Oh yeah okay, we got the marketing, we've got the purse strings, so were spending the money. That's right. EU is calling the shots he's making it sound like they are not and oh we are leading away that's bull crap

CHAPTER 12 / 53 Discussion

Putin's Strategic Miscalculation and Domestic Propaganda Rally

Analysts suggest Vladimir Putin has made a strategic miscalculation and is responding to humiliation by intensifying shelling and domestic propaganda. A massive pro-war rally in Moscow is compared to a political campaign event, as Putin continues to use the "denazification" narrative to maintain domestic support.

31:31 And by the way, one other little tidbit here not to just keep criticizing this guy. No please feel free But let's listen to this comment about oh China doesn't want to see this China does because it's a belt and road I'm thinking China might want to see this they can go in there and with their big money bags say we're gonna rebuild for you We're the good guys and go in there and rebuild Ukraine for all we know They're learning China might be thinking about hey This is good rubble eyes more to which was to take advantage of fishers in the West and they don't like the idea that now The United States is leading this coalition of NATO and the international community against Russia Director Brennan were China to actually come out against the invasion. How would that change the situation on the ground? Let me just interject there may be some truth to what he's saying because if you're China, you're probably saying wow man That would suck if they took away our yachts and planes and money

32:27 And kick this off the network. I think that's valid they're probably looking at that going hmm What's happening here and the other interesting little thing about the I agree? Yeah, a little interesting things They keep talking about how Russia's run out of bullets and they're gonna ask China for stuff what kind of maniac thinks that Let's listen to the question again Director Brennan were trying it actually come out against the invasion How would that change the situation on the ground? Well, I don't think it would change much. But also, I think it's very important for that in international fora like the United Nations China does have a very important voice especially in the Security Council and so therefore I think it is important to be able to have this international coalition even to include China that is going to signal to Russia and to the Russian people that this is a war that is not justified in any regard

33:22 And so therefore I think President Biden wanted to make sure that President Xi understood what our assessment of the situation in Ukraine, warn him against siding with Russia in a material way but also let him know the consequences if President Xi and China decide to try to help Russia evade sanctions. which is something that I know the United States and its coalition partners really want to make sure are going to strangle Putin as he continues this military invasion. Speaking of, you know, he appears increasingly angry in speeches just yesterday called Russian protesters who've... those who fled the country scum and traitors and then today that big propaganda rally what's the intel assessment of the Russian leaders? I don't know wherewithal these days

34:03 Well, I think hold on a second. The propaganda rally was fantastic Did you see any of that? I did it's like it was a Trump Ian kind of thing and well and that's Exactly what was being said now with Trump everyone said Stalin dictator Now with Putin and this has got to irk the guy Like you're like Trump and here's the opening I thought this was this was this was if you want to talk Trump show. This was it the

35:02 And those who fled the country, scum and traitors. And then today that big propaganda rally... What's the intel assessment of the Russian leader's wherewithal these days? Well I think he has made a very bad strategic miscalculation and so i think he is very fearful right now He is feeling humiliated But, as many autocrats do he's decided to go on the offense and therefore he continues to engage in this propaganda and disinformation with his people. He wants to make sure they continue to rally behind his calls about denazification of Ukraine but When I look at Putin, I see somebody who has painted himself into a corner. He doesn't have a lot of good options. I think he's going to intensify the shelling of the cities and therefore i think he's going to continue with this very strongman attitude and position uh...to try again get the Russian people to stay behind him. Director Brennan thank you

35:56 Coverage of the war in Europe continues with a report. Do you need the rest or? Do you need to arrest this clip no that hold on I just want to listen to Brandon one more time. Leah behind his calls about denazification now let's listen to Moines. Let me see play is reliving the childhood concerns about nuclear war. Can't hear it? You can't hear it? No, barely. Because of Putin's rather reckless language... Oh yeah no I hear it there! I hear the pacing. ...using nuclear weapons It's the most dangerous period Yeah he's totally in the milieu that guy's a spook That guy's a spook He's got the hair color He doesn't have the beard though he needs to be full on spook

CHAPTER 13 / 53 Discussion

Ukrainian Refugee Crisis and U.S. Intake Policy

Over 3.1 million refugees have fled Ukraine, with more than 2 million entering Poland. The Department of Homeland Security has sent officers to Europe to assist with screening as calls grow for the United States to accept more than the few hundred refugees processed since October.

36:47 So, but it's incredible that now that and we'll get to that the Hunter Biden laptop is now being considered real which he amongst others discredited didn't say entirely what the way Fox News is putting it. But They discredited it and he's out at the same time that this is going on. It's like, it's so obvious! The question in my mind is why doesn't Shep Smith ask him about it? Yes! Hold on a second I got something really fun here. Ladies and gentlemen... ...it is time to rubble night

37:35 Wow. Rubble eyes, rubble eyes everybody! Alright so let's stop laughing about the fate of these poor Ukrainians John we're insensitive, insensitive ABC Good Morning America does a good job of telling us about the refugees This is the first stop for so many refugees fleeing Ukraine. You can see a lot of them here have just arrived on trains from Ukraine, some of them has spent the night here in some cases Some of them are also getting back onto trains you can see them lining up at these counter here to get to other parts of Poland and other parts of Europe lots of volunteers Here all these people with yellow vests or volunteers trying to get refugees to their next destination

38:13 to seen an influx in the amount of refugees coming in from Western Ukraine. More than 2 million refugees have now come to Poland, 3.1 million refugees have fled Ukraine and growing calls now for the US to take more refugees so far that U.S has only taken a few hundred Ukrainian refugees since October. The Department of Homeland Security saying it has sent refugee officers to Europe to assess this situation help screen Ukrainian refugees and determine how many refugees the u.s is willing

CHAPTER 14 / 53 Discussion

Racial Disparities in European Refugee Acceptance

A BBC report highlights the perceived racial bias in how European nations welcome Ukrainian refugees compared to those from the Middle East and Africa. Critics argue that the "civilized" and "cultured" descriptors used for Ukrainians reveal underlying stereotypes regarding non-European displaced persons.

bbc news· racism· middle east· africa· ukraine· immigration

38:58 Well, great. Completely depthless reporting from ABC's Good Morning America is like, oh people how many we're gonna take in? This is a tragedy this is the true tragedy of Ukraine and if everything gets rubble eyes these millions of people will be in Western Europe where they will feel at home Because unlike ABC, the BBC NewsHour did a very interesting report about the acceptance of these refugees. It also seems to me that race and racism do play large roles in how people interpret refugees from the Middle East and from Africa And we see evidence of this in the way that Ukrainian refugees are spoken as being civilized

39:51 as being like us, as being educated and cultured. And in the surprise that was initially spoken of that people from Europe would have to go through something like war and displacement – what that spoke to was a kind of normalization of violence in other places around the world And it really brought to the surface a stereotype that people from the Middle East and from Africa were not to be trusted, were uneducated, uncultured, uncivilized and so forth. Which of course is absolutely not the case! This led to a kind of hostility and fear of refugees. Yes, yes... The EU is completely racist against the color of the refugees

40:36 Completely and I just want let's just all realize it. You feel extra bad about this because of these people look like you that's it Yeah, well and no hand these people have all been you're being brainwashed You're being told to care about one thing and one thing only colors and symbols very powerful Blue and yellow are very powerful colors. Oh yeah I mean the end and you know you cannot distinguish color frequency from sound from from all kinds of things I mean this is frequencies that are hitting you and they make a difference Sweden

CHAPTER 15 / 53 Discussion

Colonel Douglas McGregor on Ukrainian Cauldron and Agriculture

Colonel Douglas McGregor provides an alternative military analysis, claiming 60,000 Ukrainian troops are surrounded in a "cauldron" in the southeast. He asserts that Russia is avoiding agricultural areas to preserve spring planting and focuses on the destruction of Ukrainian military forces rather than territorial occupation.

douglas mcgregor· mariupol· azov regiment· wheat crops· cauldron

41:19 Sweden blue and yellow are they exactly well, they're not the same blue and yellow. I thought sweeten had some white PMS is not exactly the same hmm but It's a pretty flag in IKEA. I Have a new clip from Colonel McGregor who was on a podcast he keeps showing up on Tucker Carlson We've had okay. I guess I was wrong Well, they kick him off for sure. Yeah he's not been kicked off but we've had emails and communications from producers who are saying McGregor is being set up! They're giving him enough rope until they pull some horrible nasty stunt on him and some horrible thing comes out or some tweet or some audio clip... It doesn't happen to anybody yeah right

42:14 And he has a very different view on what's going on, and in this particular video on Rumble... He actually has a map up and you see the entire eastern part of Ukraine is occupied. There are Russian forces all around from the southeast all the way to the northeast And he says there's reason for that and he doesn't think this is going to be robalization at all. Well, on the southeastern side towards the bottom you have as many as 60 000 Ukrainian troops that are completely surrounded in what the Russians are referring to as a cauldron

42:51 That's been going on for several days now. No one knows what the status of those forces is, they're probably running out of water supplies ammunition The Russians would prefer that they surrender some have but there may be pressure now to end this which would result in the mass slaughter of some 60 000 troops And I don't think the Russians are interested in that. Think what the Russians are interested is what you see, they've gone to the large population centers. They've tried to avoid the center of the central portion of Ukraine because that's the agricultural area. In fact, Russian troops have been told to stay out of the fields and the Russians realize that we're on the verge of spring planting in Ukraine. They're not interested in destroying the wheat and barley crops at all. They would prefer to see that go ahead

43:43 So the issue for the Russians right now is that everything worth controlling is controlled. This notion that you hear over and over again on television, well they haven't increased their territorial control. They're not interested in territory. The entire operation from day one was focused on the destruction of Ukrainian forces That's largely complete with the exception of those that are still surrounded. They've got a huge problem in Mariupol, which is off to the right where you have roughly 3,000 of these fanatical fighters in the Azov regiment or battalion whatever you want to call it who are refusing to allow any of the civilians and the city to leave

44:20 In fact, I saw footage this morning of these Ukrainian Azov troops telling the population there you can't leave even though the Russians had opened a corridor for humanitarian assistance and evacuation. Again these things are not reported in the West because it tends to damage the narrative So my great concern is the determination to annihilate the Azov crowd could result in real destruction in Mariupol, which would be terrible for the people there. But again one doesn't know what the thinking is at higher levels I suspect there's a desire to end this get this over with but as long as Zelensky stalls the more Ukrainian forces will be killed Yeah, I look at the map and I see what I'm actually being shown and that rings true

CHAPTER 17 / 53 Discussion

Cyber Vigilantism and Calls for Putin's Removal

Reports of DNS poisoning and malware targeting Russian IP addresses highlight a rise in cyber vigilantism. Meanwhile, Fox News host Sean Hannity and other media figures face criticism for suggesting the assassination or forced removal of Vladimir Putin.

47:24 There's a lot of little those little satellites are hard, you know What do you mean? You get one up to get one of those one of those nets the ones that Chinese have they got a net GPS and that was screw-up. Why is it somebody taking out the Russian GPS to screw up? That'd have to be us I'll tell you something what's going on yesterday Maybe even the entire week Friday and Saturday DNS was a mess I don't know if did you notice any weird connection issues? No, no me not here DNS was flaky. It was all over the place Who knows who knows yet we had DNS poisoning people are doing crazy shit You've got guys on who do open source software Putting malware into their projects on purpose that will activate when it senses geolocation Russia

48:18 And these are projects that people use for software. JC was talking about somebody's been with a Ukrainian IP or something, or running through Russian IP they were collecting damaging information on... All kinds of stuff! The gigabytes worth of damaging information about one government or another and some yahoo took it out because it had the wrong IP he didn't like. He thought you were doing him a favor, yeah? And just destroyed all this good data these guys are nuts don't be a vigilante Well, you should say that to Sean Hannity the warmonger all this guy's over on Fox listen to this Yeah, just would listen to Tucker and then they switch it this guy. It's hilarious Although I'm getting pretty tired of Tucker's rap too is like okay now the Russian military yet sorry oh

49:15 You can't just listen to Ty Kurl for an hour, it will get... I find myself falling asleep more and more. It's like, bleh! Yeah? Now the Russian military will hear about shows like this They need to stop taking orders from this murderer They need to take him out The world needs to agree that Putin should no longer be running Russia. He's a murdering, authoritarian thug killing innocent civilians and civilized countries need to agree that he must be removed sooner than later and by whatever means necessary." Oh my god! Whatever means necessary? This is the kill-Putin meme

Brittney Griner Detention in Russia Extended

WNBA star Brittney Griner's detention in Russia has been extended until May 19th following her arrest for allegedly possessing cannabis vape cartridges. The hosts discuss her long history of playing for a Russian team and speculate on the timing of her arrest relative to the WNBA season.

brittney griner· wnba· moscow· cannabis oil· detention

49:55 Yes, this is not a good thing to do. No I mean for what happens if you kill the guy then all of Russia stands up rejoices and everything goes back to normal You're living in a dream world yeah this now this guy It seems to me, for one thing here I think the logic goes like this. First of all you think he's a murdering fiend? He throws gays out of windows! Did he threaten his life?! Yeah yeah who's nuts who's the nutso Well, there's plenty of cancelling of Russia going on and the mainstream media continues to keep that moving forward. CBS? Let's turn now to Moscow where WNBA star Brittany Greiner will be held in jail for at least another two months. That's according to Russian state media. Greiner was seen entering court today her first public appearance since her arrest at an airport last month for allegedly having cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage

50:56 Greiner was part of a group of WNBA stars who played in Russia during the offseason. But she's terrible. WNBA star Brittany Greiner's detention in Russia has been extended a Russian news agency reports that a Moscow court has decided to detain her until May 19th another two months. Greiner was arrested at a Moscow airport last month after Russian officials say they found vape cartridges containing cannabis oil in her luggage

51:34 The 31-year old faces up to 10 years in a Russian prison. She was in the country playing for the EuroLeague where she's played on a Russian team for the last seven years. The WNBA season starts May 6th Wait a minute now that adds a little perspective that I wasn't about it. That's why CBS thinks no the suck report Good morning at CBS this morning with the stuff reports We stink so she plays for a Russian team for seven years, so she's in Russia all the time yeah Oh Brother well then she should know better

52:15 She's basically a Russian. She probably speaks fluent Russian now that... Wait, wait, wait! We need her to kill Putin. Yeah we need to get her the cyanide So here's what I'm thinking, looking at this. She was set up by us! Yes of course as a martyr exactly right drop a couple of those vape cartridges in the bag or just tip off Russian customs Oh man... Because that is what you do she has been going for 7 years she has been going in and out with these same vape cartridges And she didn't know? No

Russian Cosmonauts Yellow Flight Suits Controversy

Three Russian cosmonauts arrived at the International Space Station wearing yellow flight suits with blue trim, sparking rumors of solidarity with Ukraine. Roscosmos later dismissed these claims, stating the color choice was simply due to an abundance of yellow material in storage.

52:56 They just told the Russian customs, somebody could... Look we gotta do something. We got to make a martyr here let's set this girl up now they're gonna keep her in jail till the 19th of May that's another detail they left out and they left out at the CBS report and then WNBA season begins in 9th or 10th which is gonna be she's gonna be late to practice. Yes, so another detail CBS left out So this whole thing is just it's too scammy scam Well, how about this one? How about this one I thought this was pretty good too. The Russian cosmonauts arriving aboard the International Space Station are raising questions with their wardrobe all three clad in yellow suits of blue trim the colors of the Ukrainian flag people around the world wondering if the crew is trying to send a message but the head of the Russian space agency tweeting that the crew supports the Russian army when cosmonaut saying they had extra yellow material that needed to be used

BBC Resurrects Shortwave Radio Broadcasts for Russia

Following the blocking of its websites in Russia, the BBC has resumed shortwave radio broadcasts using World War II-era technology. The hosts mock the move as antiquated, questioning the effectiveness of shortwave in an era of smartphones and podcasts.

bbc world service· shortwave radio· censorship· ionosphere· news bulletins

53:56 So this is very confusing. When they were at the sewing machine, that's when they figured this out! So they boarded the space stations like oh look there's Solidarity and these guys are like no we just had some extra yellow I had extra yellow but the BBC have the funniest funniest deplatforming of Russia i've heard in years That is resorting to broadcasting news bulletins over shortwave radio in Russia. And that's after the country blocked access to BBC websites, BBC announced it was bringing back the World War II era broadcasting technology in the region just hours before its sites were banned

54:36 News of the band was also reported by Russian state news agency RIA. Shortwave radio, as we know uses frequencies that carry over long distances and are accessible on portable sets BBC says shortwave broadcast will be available on frequencies of 15735 kilohertz from 4 p.m to 6 p.m 5875 kilohertz from 10 p.m to midnight Ukraine time. News will be read in English which the BBC says will be available in Kiev as well as parts Russia So this report is baffling to me because Russia has blocked websites we're now going to broadcast on shortwave radio which no one except the nutty hams

55:21 in Russia will be listening to. I mean, people have smartphones! The BBC could have done podcasts they could've done a number of things but this had to bring back shortwave radio? Are you kidding me?! This is a joke! That's a joke!! It is a joke... it's total joke! It's so baffling that they're- oh yeah this is great This is great. Yeah, shortwave! We'll get him now we'll tell them the truth Punching through the ionosphere The BBC Shortwave Please... please... it's so dumb

CHAPTER 21 / 53 Discussion

White House Summary of Biden-Xi Call Discrepancies

The U.S. and China released vastly different summaries of the call between Biden and Xi. China emphasized Biden's commitment not to seek a new Cold War or support Taiwan independence, while the White House focused on the consequences of providing material support to Russia's invasion.

joe biden· xi jinping· taiwan· cold war· material support

56:00 Alright, let's go to Biden's call to China. Yes! So it was not recorded... there is no transcript the Chinese had something to say right away we had nothing to say but it was a perfect call so here we go with this I got two clips I have Biden warning Warns China CNBC. This is the CNBC take President Biden's warning to China if you provide any help for Russia's brutal and horrific invasion of Ukraine There will be consequences The White House says mr. Biden personally delivered the stern warning to the Chinese president Xi Jinping during a nearly two-hour video call just today

56:41 It comes after reports that Moscow is asking Beijing for military aid, including drones to help turn the tide in Ukraine. Meantime, Russian cruise missiles raining down on NATO's doorstep. We're told the Russians attacked an airport repair plant on the outskirts of Lviv. That city less than 50 miles from the border with Poland are NATO ally where American troops are deployed right now. Lviv has been relatively peaceful and it is a crucial supply route for weapons and military aid from the West. Vladimir Putin continues to show zero regard for human casualties

57:18 The mayor of Keeve says Russian shelling killed at least one person and wounded 19 others, including several children. So Shep Smith says they bombed an aircraft repair shop? That was the one you were talking about where they're fixing the planes. Well, of course that's a target but what are you fixing? A Cessna? Piper Cub? Well that's an outrage they would bomb that. Come on Shep, this is war bruh! Let's go to NPR and see how NPR handles this kind of thing

57:58 Biden call one. It was a nearly two hour conversation today following an intense and lengthy exchange between the national security advisor and his counterpart in Rome this week, as senior administration official described today's call as substantive and direct with President Biden outlining the US assessment of the situation in Ukraine and the coordinated pain wrought on Russia's economy by allies and the private sector But the readouts from each side showed a tale of two very different conversations. The Chinese summary, which it began releasing 20 minutes before the call even ended... Stop it for a second! This is not NPR this is more of the... You said Biden Call 1 that's exactly what I played. Yeah no yeah I know I'm just telling you that what it is

58:42 I just mixed it up. This is the second part of the Shepard Smith conversation when this girl comes on and does this analysis, and she's kind of breathless but it is interesting but its not a good analysis The readouts from each side showed a tale of two very different conversations. The Chinese summary, which it began releasing 20 minutes before the call even ended highlighted Biden saying the U S does not seek a new Cold War with China. It does not aim to change China's system. Their revitalization of its alliances is not targeted at China. The US does not support Taiwan independence and it has no intention to seek a conflict with China

59:21 By contrast, the US summary released four hours after the call concluded said the focus of the conversation was on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and implications and consequences if China provides material support to Russia as it conducts brutal attacks against Ukrainian cities and civilians. Today, The White House acknowledged that President Biden stopped short of asking Xi not to assist Russia saying Beijing will have to make its own call quarterly meeting at China has to make a decision for themselves about where they want to stand and how they want the history books to look at them and view their actions. And that is a decision for President Xi and the Chinese to make. Yeah, yeah you know I doubt they even spoke. I don't think they had a chat

CHAPTER 22 / 53 Discussion

Zelenskyy's No-Fly Zone Strategy and Drone Requests

President Zelenskyy continues to lobby for a no-fly zone, a request NATO leaders have consistently denied due to nuclear escalation risks. The hosts suggest the demand is a tactical move to maximize other forms of military and economic aid while raising concerns about corruption and money laundering in the region.

volodymyr zelenskyy· no-fly zone· nato· drones· money laundering

1:00:11 I'm not going to argue one way or the other because i don't know but a couple of things that were in there is they had one message and one had the other, and they threw Taiwan into the pot for some reason. They could have had a chat I think they may have if you listen to this report, which is NPR's Ukraine and China analysis. The president had a two-hour call yesterday with China's leader Xi Jinping What do we know about what was said? Short version we don't really know the White House has not provided a transcript or even really a detailed summary Why would that? The Chinese have provided a readout that suggested that they don't want to be lectured about Ukraine and Russia

1:00:51 or Taiwan for that matter and they were miffed at the Biden administration wanted to talk about any of this with them in this manner. Instead we're told that President Biden laid out a program of consequences, that's the word that was used economic sanctions akin to those imposed on Russia and Russians not as severe to be sure but akin to them depriving China some its access to markets in the US and Europe if they decide to go with the Russians on this.

1:01:38 Not a no-fly zone. Now that seems clear, but Scott it's hard to imagine you could be the leader of Ukraine right now and not be begging the world intervene to send troops to send their fighter jets or at least eliminate Russian bombing from air by setting up a no fly zone He has to be doing that, Zelensky must. But he also has to know that European powers and the United States are not going to go for any of those measures including the no-fly zone with all the risks of nuclear confrontation that entails at the same time by building up a lot of public expectation and support around the no fly demand he's making Western countries more likely to max out on everything else

1:02:22 If you can't give us what we want, give us what we need. This is how he makes sure that he gets the military aid and economic aid that NATO and the US can give him And it comes as fast as possible Wow man! They don't even talk about refugees anymore Just fire and brimstone and death and weapons and kill Putin Yeah this is all they care about There was the interesting thing on the Shep Smith side of these two reports We're somehow, somewhere along the lines that Russians are so hard up for stuff they're begging the Chinese for drones? I didn't hear this. I've heard this from a couple of reports oh they want to get some drone... They want to get drones from the Chinese and because we're going to send them drones from our side they can't nobody could use these drones by the way it takes expertise but that you can't learn overnight

1:03:18 These, uh... What? The Russians don't make their own drones. They use Chinese drones? What are we talking about here?! Well okay what we're talking about here is the complete cancellation of Russia And it's working. This has nothing to do with Ukraine anymore, just a lot of people are taking advantage of it there is stuff being covered up the corruption is being burned, wiped and scrubbed I think the last rat lines of weaponry is being used Ukraine may no longer be useful for money laundering for the Biden crime family and other elites And of course it's being used for political gain to say, oh it's Putin is Trump. Is Trump is GOP and carrying water for Putin and the military-industrial complex This is all a rape of Ukraine A complete rape by American people here because that's what they're saying

McDonald's and Koch Industries Operations in Russia

Despite reports of widespread corporate exits, some Western businesses like McDonald's reportedly remain open in parts of Russia, such as the Ural Mountains. Koch Industries has publicly stated it will not leave Russia, citing the potential harm to its local employees.

1:04:14 They're just, we're just gonna... We don't care. But meanwhile it's about removing Russia entirely and I think that's- we got to focus on what's going on there There is some lying going on What? Yes! BootsOnTheGround report now is your understanding that McDonald's has closed their restaurants My understanding was they were going to close them. I don't know that they've actually closed them No, it's not my end Oh, my understanding was they were going to close them but not going to desert them That was my understand that they were going to close them and not desert them too. That's exactly mine Okay. Well, we have Brian who's in Russia near the Ural Mountains He says there's at least one McDonald's here and I was inside of it just this week business was booming

1:05:08 If they plan to close later, I don't know. I'll look into it." He says by the way, I'm perfectly safe and the Russians are being great and gracious hosts unlike how the Russians are being treated in the US. Stay safe! Coke Industries going against de-platforming say you know we're not going to leave Russia. We have a lot of people there but yeah it would do more harm than good so we won't do that they're not leaving so... They will be excoriated They're excoriated anyway, they don't care. Now the financial thing being removed from Swift

Russia Settles Sovereign Debt Payments in U.S. Dollars

Russia successfully transferred $117 million in U.S. dollars to settle coupon payments on two Eurobonds, avoiding a potential default. The U.S. Treasury Department authorized the transaction through JP Morgan and Citigroup, revealing that sanctions do not currently prohibit such debt settlements from non-sanctioned accounts.

sovereign debt· jp morgan· citigroup· treasury department· eurobonds

1:05:47 This is supposed to be a severe sanction so that Russia is in all kinds of trouble. They had a debt payment coming up 112 or 117 million dollars on some sovereign debt we I played some clips on the last show say well if you can't actually pay in dollars then the The people who own the debt will have to accept something else If they want to they don't have to and everyone was looking at possible default of Russia's sovereign debt. Well I guess not everybody is playing in the game... I want to share this breaking news with you from the team down in Washington. Russia has transferred US dollars to settle coupon payments due back on Wednesday on two euro bonds, remember the amount? 117 million dollars this according to people familiar with the matter The story goes on to read that people declined to be identified because they aren't authorized to speak publicly on the issue A treasury spokeswoman said U.S sanctions on Russia don't prohibit Russia from making these debt payments mirroring

1:06:52 a statement similar to the one that we got on Wednesday. I want to bring in Damien Sassauer of Bloomberg Intelligence on this story. Bloomberg Intelligence! Damien, figuring this out piece by piece is really difficult and you spent a lot of time on it Wednesday Thursday again this morning run us through what's been happening here where we've had difficulties and what it might mean for future payments yeah yeah so i think that the hundred seventeen million dollars and i understand jp morgan would have never sent those funds onto city group of a great way to let's listen to that again there two payments gap gap gap gap so okay so basically the hundred seventy million dollars from what i understand jpmorgan would have never sent those funds on to citigroup if the u. s treasury had not authorized it into itself

1:07:31 It seems to me that the US government is fine allowing Russia to pay from non-sanctioned accounts, to its foreign creditors. So it's not going to block that payment and it looks like Russia is fulfilling that payment and those monies will hit the accounts today I think the real question Jonathan we need to ask is why on earth would Russia pay U.S dollar creditors coupon when it's trying to wage this war in Ukraine? And it's economy suffering so very badly. The answer really there are three cases There are conspiracy theorists who think these bonds were owned by Russians I apply little faith to. There's the optimist that said, look at the timing yesterday we were perhaps in a de-escalation and Russia said you can maybe we'll buy some time here because we want to avoid default? I put little faith in that also for me. I'm taking the pragmatists argument The fact that if he looked back to July of 2019 when Crystal X pierced the veil of sovereign immunity for the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela basically the Supreme Court

1:08:24 upheld a the third circuit court of appeals allowing private creditors to go after offshore assets held by not just the sovereign but a quasi-sovereign entity in this case Pedeves' Citgo refining assets and creditors will aggressively go after Russian assets offshore if the default actually is triggered. And so I think Putin's trying to buy himself a little bit of time because the last thing he needs on his desk right now are creditors accelerating the process against all Russian assets located offshore. So how about that? JP Morgan just transferred some of Russia's dollars to Citi, to pay off the debt! Well what kind of sanctions are these then? Is Washington not sincere? Is Swift full of crap?! What is this?? Somethings up... That sounds more like someone in cahoots with Russia than anything

Marjorie Taylor Greene Lockheed Martin Stock Controversy

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene faces criticism for purchasing Lockheed Martin stock the same day she tweeted about the profitability of war. Greene defended the move, stating her investment advisor has full discretionary authority over her accounts, while the hosts discuss broader efforts to ban lawmakers from trading individual stocks.

1:09:18 Well, it also sounds like there's something some there's some Russian assets offshore. What she said at the end Yes is ground Yeah must be really a gem must be some good shit But you know it's like well first of all everybody's lying that's for sure but I Do have other stuff on Russia because I'd like to move off and if you have anything else You want to play? I do okay I actually have two overviews that i thought would be good but then maybe we were too late for that. But, I will play this if you're going to... well you know I had set this up to be an Ask Adam and it's like maybe we could.. It's the Marjorie Taylor green clip! It says everybody in Congress is trading stocks. What does this have to do with Russia? You'll hear. Oh okay

1:10:13 Everyone's trading stocks and so they pick one person out of the blue to go after who is a small time player, to say the least. Marjorie Taylor Greene in The West End Structures says guess what? If people were trading based on the war and they're going to be trading in munitions companies who do you think that would go after if they are gonna go after anybody Well, just play the clip and you'll see what I'm talking about. Lockheed Martin and Raytheon jointly make these missile launchers called Javelins. The United States already sent thousands of them to Ukraine, and President Biden just promised the country thousands more to help defend against the Russian forces on the same day Congresswoman Greene made the Lockheed investment she also tweeted in part

1:11:18 War and rumors of war is incredibly profitable and convenient. She later responded to criticism of the investment saying, Our investment advisor has full discretionary authority over our accounts We have owned this American company for years And this small investment was part of our overall investment strategy Okay Okay, first of all he takes a line out of something she's bitching about this war mm-hmm And he took a line making it sound like I had something to do this investment It had nothing to do with anything and then at the next half of the toast Shepard Smith has gone from From okay too bad. And so and this is a ridiculous hit piece on this poor woman uh-huh? She's allowed mouth so what and Bobert's the same way

1:12:03 And in the second half of the clip he says, well a lot of everyone's trading on this but why would you have to ask yourself? This is part two. and then asked yourself then why pick on her The critics say lawmakers should not be able to trade individual stocks They receive all sorts of information that all the rest of us do not and there's a new push to pass a bill that bans lawmakers from doing exactly that CBC senior congressional correspondent Ilan Moynow Ilan this isn't just Congresswoman Greene Well, yeah. Okay when you finish making your point I'll counterpoint That was my point. My point is this isn't just Marjorie Taylor Greene then why is she the one that you bring out of the blue to humiliate? When she's a small-timer! She's not even a big...she's not a splurger or rich billionaire that happens to be a Congress person

1:12:56 person. They hate her, all the Democrats hate her and this is just showing us that Jep Smith is part of this cabal. Okay first of all I'm surprised that you're surprised they're doing this to a Republican or anyone with a political label. You can't actually be surprised by that particularly because it takes the heat off of all the other shit that's going on with people, Democrats but it was very effective this hit piece The Keeper is definitely, has always thought Marjorie Taylor Greene had a fun good big mouth and that she liked a lot of what she said. She liked what she stands for however

1:13:37 Unprompted by me, she said oh my god Marjorie Taylor Greene was investing just like all those other a-holes and it just goes to show they all suck. All of them suck that was her takeaway all of them suck and I'll add to that as you know I married her for her money and she had her annual call with her money manager, and she in that call was making very sure I don't want any war shit. And I want any BlackRock or Vanguard said I may not make all that great money you're going to propose but i dont want it! And I think those principles is what is very American and Marjorie Taylor Greene even though she probably had nothing to do with it It was the money manager making those buys for her She got screwed! She should have known better

CHAPTER 26 / 53 Discussion

IEA 10-Point Plan to Reduce Oil Demand

The International Energy Agency (IEA) unveiled a 10-point plan to curtail oil demand, including reducing highway speed limits, implementing car-free Sundays in cities, and encouraging working from home three days a week. The hosts compare these proposals to the 1970s energy crisis measures.

international energy agency· oil demand· speed limits· work from home· car-free sundays

1:14:27 It makes a difference to Americans. Make any difference to me? I found the click list really. No, no! I'm sure that you...the minute this kicked off i'm sure you were immediately buying Lockheed and Raytheon because I know you. I know- Oh okay You didn't?! No Why not!? I didn't want too, I don't like them. You know it's just..I did..I'm not trading, I'm looking at real estate Looking at real estate Let me see now. Ah, so what is now taking place is we have expensive energy which is mainly due to inflation and other Biden policies here in the United States I didn't want to talk about Europe they're up to $10 a gallon they're the ones that are really gonna get screwed So I look forward to the repeat of the 70's. Running on themselves! I look forward to the repeat of the seventies In the seventies... I've been putting my list together

1:15:28 Did you see the announcement from the International Energy Agency? No. The International Energy Agency has unveiled a 10-point action plan it hopes Western countries will implement to curtail oil demand. Get your list ready! Reduce speed limits on highways at least 10 kilometers an hour This is how we wound up with 55 miles per hour in the United States, is not it? During that era it was 50. 50. You're right, but it was lowered to consume...to conserve oil. Okay I can tell you because I remember this clearly there were numerous places especially in Nevada and I think places back east and of course the Autobahn in Europe but in Nevada there was at least half the state had no speed limit so you could take your Coontosh and do you take your Ferrari to Nevada?

1:16:28 Did you punch it and you could go like a bat out of hell on some on some road in Nevada and be pretty sorry I think thanks for the history lesson was the speed limit in general lowered to 50 to conserve oil or not Yes, yeah. Thank you The impact is you wanted a history lesson? I was gonna give you some more stories but go on The International Energy Agency says the impact will save around two hundred and ninety thousand barrels of oil use per day from cars. Yeah, an additional 140 thousand barrels per day from trucks now the next suggestion Work from home up to three days a week where possible that's your de facto climate lockdown now my favorite is

1:17:17 Car-free Sundays in cities. I called it, I called it! The impact every Sunday saves around 380 thousand barrels per day one Sunday a month saves 95 thousand barrels per day make use of public transport cheaper and incentives an incentivize micro mobility walking and cycling so much for your progress slaves Alternate private car access to roads in large cities. I'm not quite sure what that means Oh, I'm sorry alternate alternate alternate Yeah So you won't be able to drive on even days only on odd days if yeah That's like gonna happen It's gonna happen increase car sharing and adopt practices to reduce fuel use of course Promote efficient driving for freight trucks and delivery of goods That's your Tesla trucks

1:18:16 Use high-speed and night trains instead of planes where possible. Hello Warren! I'm gonna use the high speed night train here in the Bay Area. Yeah, hello Warren Buffett avoid business air travel where alternate options exist, and reinforce the adoption of electric and more efficient vehicles which is exactly what happened in the 70s. Half of these points took place including as I just learned in 1974 apparently The United States did pass law to keep daylight saving time consistent

CHAPTER 27 / 53 Discussion

Senate Passes Bill for Permanent Daylight Saving Time

The U.S. Senate passed the Sunshine Protection Act to make daylight saving time permanent starting in 2023. However, health experts and neurologists testify that permanent Standard Time would be better for biological rhythms, warning that permanent daylight time leads to dark winter mornings for school children.

daylight saving time· sunshine protection act· marco rubio· standard time· sleep health

1:18:56 And people were yelling and screaming within four months, and they overturned it. I didn't even know this happened! Yeah we talked about in the show... But i didn't know it actually passed law Here is- no there was a test law though that's only going to go on for so long A test law? What the hell is a test law?! It's like a law with expiration Oh, okay. Tesla. Okay here's the late year play this latest time change news. Hold on a second so you can keep up? Yes yeah I need to keep up where are we here here we are Dr Beth Mallow a neurologist at Vanderbilt University Medical Center testified that it would be healthier for Americans to stop changing their clocks but she thinks permanent delayed saving time is the wrong option she supports

1:19:44 Brace yourself. Permanent Standard Time. It's called standard time because standard time lines up with our natural biological rhythms. Permanent Standard Time, with sunnier mornings and darker evenings would be healthier especially for frontline workers and school students with early waking hours The best answer, according to daylight saving time expert Prerow is to do nothing at all. The current system that began in 2007 of changing clocks in March and November is the product of decades of study and compromise. I personally think the current system that we have with some flaws it's still the best we could have. The House has no immediate plans to take up the Senate passed bill but there is bipartisan support for it

1:20:28 The Biden administration hasn't taken a position on it yet. The history lesson here, be careful what you vote for. The problem is, is that if you have permanent daylight savings time it gets... when the clock runs... when you come around to the dark part of the year. It's dark in the morning and that's why you switch back this standard time so it's not pitch black in the morning when the kids go to school Right! That's exactly what will make everyone so depressed So I... Yeah, they're proposing a law but they're proposing the wrong way They are proposing the wrong one

CHAPTER 28 / 53 Discussion

Climate Emergency Proposals and Executive Power

Democratic leaders including Chuck Schumer and media figures like Rachel Maddow are urging President Biden to declare a climate emergency. Such a declaration would grant the executive branch expanded powers to bypass Congress on environmental regulations and oil export bans.

climate emergency· rachel maddow· chuck schumer· jen psaki· jay inslee

1:21:16 created in 1974 to ensure the security of oil supplies, the International Energy Agency has evolved over the years. So it was exactly these guys who implemented or pushed through then the previous oil crisis bullcrap and they're back on the scene I'm sure they're much more powerful And, you know I know we differ of opinion on this but i've been following the ESG environmental social governance. I've seen enough of what's taking place We are going into climate lockdowns it's going to be blamed on Putin and It won't be blamed on anything about any inflation and its going to be done by executive order and I have classic clips recent classic clip

1:22:01 Rachel Maddow, sadly but it's more about Chuck Schumer. It might be a good idea for President Biden to call a climate emergency. Why? Because then he can... this relates to what you're saying then he can do many many things under the emergency powers of the president that wouldn't have to go through that he could do without legislation now Trump used this emergency for his stupid wall which wasn't an emergency But if there ever was an emergency, climate is one. So I would suggest that they explore looking at climate as an emergency which would give them more flexibility after all it's a crisis. It's a crisis. We're talking about passing major climate legislation through the reconciliation process. Pressuring the president or asking the president to invoke emergency powers? Just ask him let them look at it you know I have a lot of faith in that he'll make a good and right decision

1:22:55 And this could actually be happening. Jen Psaki, on another subject, the Congressional Progressive Caucus recommendations for executive action are out there asking for a decision to declare a climate emergency and ban all U.S. exports of oil. Is that something the president is thinking about doing? There are range of really good ideas out there. President's looking at all of them. But I don't have anything to predict for you at this point in time Oh, really good. A range of good ideas out there! This is the same crap that Inslee when he was running for president promoted if you remember? Yep He says when I'm elected President the first thing iIm going to do is declare a climate emergency and by the way he up in Washington has just decided to extend his COVID emergency powers indefinitely Yeah it's

1:23:47 It's great when you have these emergency powers. This is the kind of dipshit Democrat demagogues that all want to be little Hitlers, they're all in the same boat together and consumer is one of them! I don't think it's unique though...I don't think it's unique when these little MFers get power Republican-Democrat, I don't think it affects people all the same way Well I'm not going to argue that the fact that Republicans are just as bad as their proving during this Ukraine crisis But in fact, there may be worse in some situations. So now let me bridge what I think is going on because again, I see this only as financial and there's a reason why Russia was allowed to make their coupon payment even though it's supposed to be this big your D platform you can't use the SWIFT system anymore so that's bullcrap they're bringing down the whole system

CHAPTER 29 / 53 Discussion

Jennifer Granholm and the Electric Vehicle Push

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm and Vice President Kamala Harris promote electric vehicles as the solution to record-high gas prices. Critics highlight Granholm's lack of specific data on U.S. oil consumption and the perceived elitism of suggesting citizens buy expensive EVs to avoid pain at the pump.

jennifer granholm· kamala harris· electric vehicles· gas prices· energy department

1:27:30 has said, you know what go ahead put your Iran nuclear deal together. What's going on with that? I don't know no idea i do know before you go there since we're talking about climate change and all the rest Electric car supercut that I've been hanging on to. Okay, electric car? Have we heard this one? Uh...I don't know let's listen The future of transportation is electric Gas prices have hit a new record high in America and expected it keep rising We need to make sure that it becomes relatively more attractive To have an electric vehicle instead of a gas vehicle You want gas prices to go up and oil prices to go up You needed to reflect the true cost of carbon

1:28:07 Number one, no more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill period ends record high gas prices the national average now at four dollars and twenty nine cents a gallon a 60 cent hike in just one week The president is really focused on making sure that people are not hurt of the pump around LA that are more than six bucks a gallon. If you drive an electric car this would not be affecting you clearly. There's no sound or fume! How many barrels of oil does the US consume per day? I don't have that number in front of me, so how do i know it is actually working? What is the Granholm plan to increase oil production in America? That is hilarious perhaps if you let the market work

1:28:57 In this respect, people will feel pain. They'll take a second look at that Ford F-450 gigantoid truck they'll reconsider it Tesla I'm willing to pay four dollars a gallon hell i'll pay fifteen dollars a gallon because I drive a tesla! I have a chevy bolt that is my car I lease a bolt and I lease solar panels I drive on Sunshine Girl. Record-breaking prices at the pump nationwide One of my favorite topics, electric school buses Electric school buses that have big batteries underneath it Yes we are very excited about electric school buses Some prices are as high as seven a gallon You usually can smell it and you can hear it, you can hear the guzzling sound People from rural to suburban to urban communities Can all benefit from the gas savings Of driving an EV

1:29:48 So our vice president can, when she's in the bus and it's not electric she can literally hear the guzzling down the tank. Wow you literally hear that? She is insane! Well since we are... And that was Granholm by the way who laughed at the question about the drilling. Our energy secretary. That was Granholm who got the bolt And that was Gran Holmwood. She's in there quite a bit. Yeah, she is our energy secretary. She is the energy secretary and she has no clue how many barrels of oil we use and she should have it at the tip of her tongue Which brings us to our final topic, sub-topic for Russia and I have a mini cut of my own Hunter Biden this laptop

CHAPTER 30 / 53 Discussion

Media Retraction on Hunter Biden Laptop Authenticity

The New York Times recently acknowledged the authenticity of emails from Hunter Biden's laptop, which were previously dismissed as Russian disinformation by the intelligence community and major media outlets in 2020. The hosts criticize the initial suppression of the story by social media platforms and news organizations.

hunter biden· new york times· new york post· russian disinformation· burisma

1:30:32 that intelligence officials have warned is likely Russian disinformation. I get pretty fired up about how this works because look, if the New York Post tells you your mom loves you, you should check it out! We are not talking about fully reliable sources here It feels like a repeat from last cycle but her emails again and it's kind of ridiculous Featuring all the usual suspects Hunter Biden mysterious emails Ukrainian businessman dot-dot So that was just a very small sampling. Everybody remembers this was not true, it's Russian disinformation and the media did the American public a large disservice unless you were in the Democrat Party or Joe Biden as social media so the media made it all not true made it fact-check false. They suppressed it and they also kicked you off social media if you even mentioned it yeah

1:31:28 Now, there was a lot of weaseling around. So the reason this popped up to the forefront is The New York Times did not by the way admit Hunter Biden's laptop is authentic they said no such thing They said according to people familiar with the matter The laptop appears to be authentic, but they have no proof of that. And they were clear to point that out and then it is being looked at in context of Hunter Biden's tax issues or some other court case." No I read the article wasn't that vague?

1:32:06 The way it seems to me the way they presented it was though. Oh, yeah So what as a matter of fact? No no no It wasn't he wasn't quite like that. It was it was a little bigger now Yeah You could pull it up and then I'll tell you with the intelligence community actually said Because they just, they just weasel. They were wish you are she too! Well let me just read it so people hear it and you look up the New York Times article I'm not gonna do that because it's gonna take too much time and I mean I don't have the screenage for it but I will say this I do have two clips on this yeah well let me read this and then you play your clips Yeah It is all for these reasons that we write to say that the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden's son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.

1:33:00 We want to emphasize that we do not know if the emails provided to The New York Post by President Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani are genuine or not, and we do not have evidence of Russian involvement. Just that our experience makes us deeply suspicious that the Russian government played a significant role in this case." That's what they said? Yeah! Which was enough?! Of course it was enough but its the media...the media is to blame here And with that I mean social media. It is truly these corporations." Well, I don't think that the intelligence community that signed that letter which is a bunch of retirees that are mostly creeps Brennan Hayden etc was you know gets off scot-free for this? No! Of course not but if anyone...you read that like okay fine

1:34:00 These guys are full of shit, but it doesn't matter. They didn't lie and the media was lockstep They're the ones that get away scot-free who gives a shit about Brennan I think this should all be punished But okay well yeah of course of course but the one we actually have controls Can see right in front of our phrase face is is The New York Times is the is NBC CBS ABC don't leave Facebook and Twitter out of this so and they they took The ball because all of those media companies said that's false information and then that just became fact I think we've beaten that up, but I would like to ask you how many of these people you think were actually sincere every single one of them. I get that sense too They truly believe this Absolutely inst of it yeah no no this is the problem This is really the problem

1:35:02 Does Brennan know that Biden is a either the hunter Biden is a piece of crap and that he's at problem Of course, he does they got tabs on us not sincere. No, he's not sincere but the media and Subsequently people who watch it the same people who can't listen to our show anymore because we are not lockstep on hating hating anybody especially Putin then we haven't denounced him and denounce everything Russian and Okay Sir Gene is no longer my friend. I denounce him! I denounce him! Finally, I'm bored. I denounce him! You're a dead guy. Red scum! And that because people are traumatized we're still in COVID land and now you got all this and oh my god these people are white they look like me they don't even know they're being racist okay so here we go with an eye

CHAPTER 31 / 53 Discussion

Media Ratings and Podcast Measurement Standards

The hosts discuss the discrepancy between online engagement and traditional cable ratings for outlets like Real America's Voice. They explain the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) standards for podcast measurement and the challenges of accurately tracking audiences in decentralized media.

lara logan· steve bannon· real america's voice· nielsen ratings· iab standards

1:36:03 I don't like playing these clips. There's certain people that are kind of off limits, but in this case with the Hunter Biden laptop because it's so funny that everyone is coming around to say oh I guess it was real...I think it's time we go to the war room. Yes! To the war room? We have a war room clip later too. What?! I know sometimes the war- by the way So we were talking about real America's voice. And how... By the way, that entire Lara Logan clip was as long as the one you played? Mm-hmm. It is fabulous! The whole clip is great absolutely

1:36:47 But people keep telling me, you're wrong. They're huge! I said no look at the actual ratings they have no ratings. The people that listen to the Laura Logan clip on our show represents most of the people who listened to the Laura Logan clip yeah in real America words Probably ten times as many has listened to it on the original under on the outlet Yeah, and and to say you know Bannon's war room was on real America voice. Yes But I think people listen to the to the podcast and watch it on rumble then Real America there are there are measurement systems for cable And and I looked at up that does not get their you know they got asterisk yes yeah

1:37:36 There's no rating that's not enough numbers to count but people like you're wrong millions of people love them all of MAGA tuned in Now they tuned in in other places, but not real America's voice that that is not yeah sure They're watching some But it's really online at what anything anyway Just just neat could you know when it comes to television stuff? You and I kind of know we're talking about When wet when I was a tech TV there always because where they first started off when it was ZDTV We did actually get some ratings, they did some arbitrage on this radio thing. I can't remember what the rating system was but when the first ratings were gonna come out it think it was about six months into it they were worried sick! They didn't get asterisks

1:38:20 But they were worried sick about getting asterisks. Someone asked me, yes there are measurement systems for podcasts we do not participate but the Interactive Advertising Bureau has a standard which is very rigorous and has been fleshed out amongst the industry for a long time So yeah, there are measurement systems. It doesn't matter. There has to be because when advertisers are involved and they're not with us but when they're involved they need to know real numbers cause they don't want to throw money away. And I will say the podcast measurements are just as phony baloney and wonky as Nielsen's. They're all full of crap. Well that could be. No it is! I'm the podfather do not question me

CHAPTER 32 / 53 Discussion

Steve Bannon and John Solomon on Deep State Collusion

Steve Bannon and investigative journalist John Solomon discuss the "Deep State" role in discrediting the Hunter Biden laptop story. Solomon recounts his early reporting on Burisma and alleges a coordinated campaign by national security officials to frame factual investigations as conspiracy theories.

steve bannon· john solomon· hunter biden· deep state· fbi

1:39:09 Hunter laptop one. Okay, I want to get to John Solomon John the New York Times admitted and I know you get deeper analysis as you always do but I just gotta ask you one thing the The New York Times finally has come out and admitted I think was yesterday that The Laptop from Hell was 100% authenticated right? And this is not a small thing because she had As you pointed at time the New York Post and Rupert Murdoch's team did the due diligence We got it all up there with the great Bob Costello and Rudy Giuliani in a team effort uh... and remember i think was emma emma joe uh... morris is over at the uh... at break for now i'd like to thank you of course she had more in a divine all the great heroes that they have been your post marina's got the book about it but he had john agargo but you had that full page ad by by by brennan and clapper in haiti and all their crowd anti-trump intelligence crowd this said no this is russian disinformation that was alive and they should have the security clearances poll for this

1:40:05 they intruded into a presidential race. Talk about Russian collusion? This is the deep state collusion, John Solomon now that the paper of record comes out as we always knew and this is why Jack Maxey... The War Room is not on Twitter for one reason Don't think it's because I made a metaphor about Fauci and Reyes being heads on pike That's that term is used every day all day long in the oval office everywhere It's because Jack Maxie our co-host at the time was putting up nonstop stuff from the hard drive from hell both of pornography and the end and the compromise in the compromise Of the Chinese Communist Party and others Ukraine and others of the Biden family. John Solomon, what say you since you've been at the forefront, tip of the spear for years?

1:40:50 March 2019, I wrote the first story raising serious questions that Hunter Biden's work in Ukraine constituted at least at the very least a conflict of interest for Joe Biden and that and the worst may have involved criminal activity. I wrote that story not because I had anything from Rudy Giuliani time I had just barely met Rudy and started working on this. I met...I wrote that story because I had FBI and State Department sources who told me what was going on Mm-hmm. Hey, John what say you? What say you? What's a you I don't know what say you I say things often what say you let's say me I Say what say you I say what say he what say they you know that so Riley's bit Bannon get over it always that really or I didn't even know that yeah

1:41:37 Oh yeah, he does that. What say you? By the way that's the grammar in the old country in The Netherlands That's how you would ask the question is wat zeg jij? What say you instead of what do you say? What do you think or tell me what you think there are a million ways to say it instead of what say you But they also in the old country say what thank you They do. Let's just talk like that, let's just do that! What think you? What can... what do you to? That Hunter Biden had engaged in things the Justice Department was kind of walking around and gingerly didn't want to really look at it and so I put together a series of stories and by the summer of 2019 every one of those stories would be called a conspiracy theory it was a conspiracy theory to think that

1:42:28 Hunter Biden did anything wrong. It's a conspiracy theory to think that Hunter Biden didn't pay his taxes, it was a conspiracy theory to think that he created the conflict of interest. It was a conspiracy theory to believe that Burisma was even worried about non-existent criminal investigation over the last three years that conspiracy theory became a factual theory. It always was true, but now people like the New York Times and the network news are beginning to realize what we wrote and what Miranda extended with her great work at the New York Post and what you did with Rudy all of that was true. The question now is who directed directed the machinery to call all of this a conspiracy theory. Who directed those national security people to write a fake letter? Who wrote, who directed Jane Mayer at The New Yorker to write a big article saying that it was a conspiracy theory when it wasn't? All those people were directed by someone they all used the same language they all used the same attack tactics They all gathered together to stage a fake impeachment

1:43:26 We need to hold those people who took this country through the idea that everything was okay with Joe Biden, Hunter Biden when his son was under criminal investigation. The very moment they were uttering the words conspiracy theory where every person that engaged in that campaign should be brought to justice brought to light in the court of public opinion for what they did. Okay before we go there here is from The New York Times This is what they said People familiar with the investigation said prosecutors had examined emails between Mr. Biden, Mr Archer and others about Burisma and other foreign business activity Those emails were obtained by The New York Times from a cache of files that appears to have come from a laptop abandoned by Mr. Biden in a Delaware repair shop The email and others in the cache were authenticated by people familiar with them and the investigation

1:44:23 Sounds pretty positive to me. Not that wishy-washy. Authenticated by who? Well, they said if you read that article the entire article from beginning to end is... In fact if you read The New York Times from the beginning to the end of the newspapers they don't name people anymore! They stopped doing it! Alright good but I think that the Democrat Party is very happy with Steve Bannon and The War Room This is it. Biden's out! They're gonna wrap up Ukraine, and they're gonna... Yes they're gonna totally annihilate Hunter. Hunter is going down. He's going down. Well yes for sure. They are going to use him to take down President Biden for whatever they have next. What?

Speculation on Biden's Political Future and Succession

The hosts speculate that the authentication of the Hunter Biden laptop may be used by the Democratic Party to force Joe Biden out of office. They draw parallels to the Nixon era and discuss the potential for a Kamala Harris presidency following a political collapse of the current administration.

joe biden· kamala harris· hunter biden· impeachment· nixon

1:45:15 Nixon. Nixon! I'm telling you, we are in a fucking win- He quit... he quit in the middle of his office We are IN THE TWILIGHT ZONE! I'm telling ya' I've been putting a list together what's going on in the 70s and it's unbelievable! I'M LIVING IN A TWILIGHT ZONE!!! I just think that become the end of show, ISO. That's gotta go. Yes, that's got to be it! I've just gotta put in there right now. Holy crap! Biden is toast. This is it. He's done for. But then we have a problem with Houston... Yeah, well yeah, we have a huge problem but

1:45:57 So what I mean Biden's not running anything bring in cackling. Yeah Jake Jake Jake's the guys run and everything so there you go The terror laptop of doom here's a question asked Pepper and Patty what's going on with this laptop? The New York Times has authenticated emails that appear to have come from a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden in Delaware. The president previously said that the New York Post story about this was a bunch of garbage, and it was a Russian plant does he stand by that assessment I pointed at Department of Justice and also 200 Bidens representatives who doesn't work in the government here so yeah you can only go that you probably know

1:46:42 They got to do something, so I guess they're going to have to pull this off. Well there's... Now it looks like by the way all of the nicks and thing was because a cover up same thing Exactly! However The question is if they don't kill Hunter which they have no incentives to do because everyone wants Joe out then Hunter will throw his own father for the wolves I guarantee you This piece of scum is gonna implicate his dad Oh yeah Definitely. Dad made me do it! It's gonna be beautiful, but then we are definitely going to have to stay on a long time for President Harris because that's gonna be dynamite for the show and with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying in the morning to you The Man Who Put The Sea In The Program Of Consequences ladies and gentlemen Mr John C Dvorak

CHAPTER 34 / 53 Discussion

No Agenda Social and the Fediverse Tribalism Debate

Adam and John discuss the philosophy of No Agenda Social, their Mastodon-based server. They counter criticisms that decentralized "instances" promote tribalism, arguing instead that they foster healthy fraternity and community among like-minded individuals.

mastodon· fediverse· no agenda social· tribalism· decentralized social media

1:47:40 Well in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning all ships at sea boots on the ground, subs in the water and feet in the air and all the games out there! Well in the morning too the trolls in the troll room on this wonderful Sunday as we... broadcast live across Gitmo Nation. That's at noagendastream.com, but we also have the troll room! The troll room is where the trolls hang out and they do exactly what trolls do live in scurry under bridges and troll away and make all kinds of comments sometimes they're good they're useful but they are having a good time together that's what counts let's see how many are in there today in the trollroom at trollroom.io All right hands up their trolls lets see 2,542 on deck

1:48:30 They're like we're useless. It's okay trolls don't worry about it We love you anyway now You can always follow all of these trolls individually or you can follow us John C Dvorak at no agenda social calm Adam at no agenda social comm this is our our little a little part of the of the Fediverse was an interesting conversation going on yesterday about how You know, Mastodon. It's kind of decentralized but it has a drawback and I just want to ask you what you thought about this? So the idea is that your own server can have as many or few people on there. That could be just you and your buddies, family... Or like we have a cap of 10 thousand producers who have accounts who've been there for several years

1:49:19 And you can communicate with anybody on any of these servers typically although a server, A community can say no we don't want to see your stuff and you know they can set at any level like they could still follow You but they wouldn't show up on the timeline. It's completely each server is allowed to make their own rules and What I was told is this is not good because it promotes tribalism and unlike Isn't that exactly the problem today, that we're trying to desperately get rid of tribalism? Isn't tribalism okay certainly in this context John? Well this is like saying that whoa the Bohemian Club supports tribalism. Oh wait! The Berkeley Women's Club promotes tribalism or the 4-H promotes tribalism or the Boy Scouts promotes tribalism

1:50:16 So what? It's not promoting tribalism per se, it's clubby. There's another word for clubs and this is what it promotes. It promotes fraternity, that promotes fraternity. Fraternity, yes a good one but that's not bad is it? I mean isn't that how... Fraternity you want fraternity people need to meet and greet and have friends they can talk with That's what the No Agenda Meetups do. They promote fraternity amongst like-minded individuals Exactly. It just seems so weird, I mean because you say like Boy Scouts Girl Scouts well unfortunately they've been through the tribal bull crap mill and they have to have girls in the boy scouts because it was too tribal Yeah well that's because... yeah and i'm in total disagreement with that To a point, I think it should be allowed in certain situations but

1:51:11 You don't want girls in the Boy Scouts. I mean, you're just promoting sexual activity in the tents. No! We don't want... we don't want burr- girls in the Boy Scouts? Can't have that. Oh no girls g-i-r-l-z allowed. Yeah girls suck backwards ass. Nah exactly So we kind of love our tribe and I think human nature is by definition tribal. There's nothing wrong with that, but I love it when our tribes intersect things really good things come out of it this is one of the best experiments I've ever been a part of and thank you again to Eriner who has been running this for us for several years and we really appreciate it! We became two-one wieldy from me these things are quite takes a lot so

1:51:54 So that's noagendasocial.com follow us there and let's thank the artist for episode 1434 we titled it The Second Lady Thanks to our president being confused about who has COVID and what gender they are And Dame Kenny Benn brought us the art which was Presented in smell-O-Vision, it was the leprechaun St. Paddy's Day background I can't and you couldn't see this as well as I could know it is a green. You have the green color blood I do have the color blindness, but you were just seeing grays And so what you see? No, I don't see the real difference between that the light green in the dark green But you had a hard-on for your smell of vision thing

CHAPTER 35 / 53 Discussion

Episode 1434 Art and Podcasting 2.0 Features

The hosts credit Dame Kenny Benn for the episode 1434 artwork and discuss the integration of social media comments into modern podcast apps. They highlight how Podcasting 2.0 features allow listeners to see Mastodon interactions directly within apps like Podfriend and Podverse.

1:51:11 You don't want girls in the Boy Scouts. I mean, you're just promoting sexual activity in the tents. No! We don't want... we don't want burr- girls in the Boy Scouts? Can't have that. Oh no girls g-i-r-l-z allowed. Yeah girls suck backwards ass. Nah exactly So we kind of love our tribe and I think human nature is by definition tribal. There's nothing wrong with that, but I love it when our tribes intersect things really good things come out of it this is one of the best experiments I've ever been a part of and thank you again to Eriner who has been running this for us for several years and we really appreciate it! We became two-one wieldy from me these things are quite takes a lot so

1:51:54 So that's noagendasocial.com follow us there and let's thank the artist for episode 1434 we titled it The Second Lady Thanks to our president being confused about who has COVID and what gender they are And Dame Kenny Benn brought us the art which was Presented in smell-O-Vision, it was the leprechaun St. Paddy's Day background I can't and you couldn't see this as well as I could know it is a green. You have the green color blood I do have the color blindness, but you were just seeing grays And so what you see? No, I don't see the real difference between that the light green in the dark green But you had a hard-on for your smell of vision thing

1:52:40 Because you had clips and like oh so exciting. Yes, that's exactly the reason good it was the best of the art It looks good I would say although to confuse you even more is that to do this right? It should have had a green beer Yeah, that would have been better because these these eight, you know these st Patrick's maniacs they they drop they drop ink dye into the Chicago River but It the artist should know that if this is if it's a show on a holiday as theme of Valentine's Day or something That it should be reflected in the art because we tend to pick that unless somebody came over something so good You couldn't ignore it. And so we do we do pick holidays, that's correct and there were a number of st Patrick's day Excuse me pieces of art sir net Ned did a couple Who else came in here toast?

1:53:36 Kenny Bend though has licensed a bunch of clip arts that are high quality and she drops them in these all constantly. And it's pretty hard to beat her composition I saw on Twitter, I think someone with Oh using clip art to win awards No. Commercial artists use clip art a lot I'm just telling what the comment was, i'm not saying that... Well the comment didn't come from an artist No of course not! Of course not It never comes from someone who's done the work But we have maybe hundreds of artists who do the work Have done the work We're currently just looking at the most recent submission We have 25 281 pieces in NOAGENDA Art Generator

1:54:25 Which is it's unbelievable the amount of time and talent that goes into this which is exactly what we want to see in our value for value model. Time, talent and treasure and you can see not just the art but we have... We're getting pretty close with podcasting 2.0 doing comments that work in any app And if you want to see some of that work, I think Podfriend is currently surfacing the comments as well as Podverse. It's cool because they interact with The Mastodon so you can just be in any random podcast client listening to our show and you'll see comments appear there that may have been put on The Mastodon or even federated from somewhere else or from an entirely different app

1:55:13 Yes, we are protecting and extending podcasting and you need a modern podcast app today by going to newpodcastapps.com Now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1435 as my voice is on its way out You know, you might move toward the gravelly side. I don't like it It's also very tiring There is a couple of sportscasters whose voices are so ruined Everything they say is like this! You're not making me feel any better about the situation unfortunately Well that was trying to help Next time we have an eye thing I'll talk about how cool you look with a patch

CHAPTER 36 / 53 Discussion

It is a very auspicious birthday for Dame Astrid Duchess of Japan the Japan Sea and all disputed islands Of course we are not discussing numbers, but let's just say the donation amount will give you some clues and let's say she has been listening to you for almost a quarter of her life. She is 600 years old John! I can't believe it she looks dynamite! Yeah Methuselah was older... She looks great for six hundred In Japan this birthday is known as Kaneki Rather than being seen as getting older, it is viewed as a rebirth. Oh that's nice! When a person turns this age they have gone through the Chinese zodiac cycle a total of five times and are now back at their original birth zodiac The word kanreki itself derives its meaning from the words can return and reiki calendar Simply put reaching this age is viewed as your chance to start over again

1:57:46 So here's to the next chapter Astrid. I can think of no better way of celebrating than supporting the best podcast in universe for the best business partner in the universe Thank you for your courage love and lit sir mark do go Japan the Japan Sea and all the disputed islands bingo boom shaka laka jingle Please one of her favorites, and maybe something from Club 33 if you're reopening it for one night only birthday party Raven Oh, Raven.

1:59:40 Dear John and Adam, I want to thank you for defending me when Baron John the Fabulous ruler of the glacial drumlin trail of Wisconsin attempted to call me out on show 1430 as a douchebag. He thinks he's quite funny when accusing me of sucking off the government tit!

He thinks he's quite funny when he accused of sucking off the government teat. When I was unemployed. Got that spelling! I am now gainfully employed and will be once again sharing my treasure via monthly donations but i thought id make up for it by marching or matching his 333 33 and doing one better by adding 8008 because i like hearing JCD say A-O-N-E

2:02:59 So here I am donating again. As I've stated before, you must continue your work it is vital to our nation's interests and the citizens are better for it as the peerage grows the knowledge spreads as I hit people in a mouth they are illuminated by the light that is The NO Agenda Show As the tax returns roll in over paying like the good little slave that I am, I return a small sum in kind paying back the value for value in any small way I can. I have donated before and I've managed to rise amongst my peers to the level of barren. Hopefully I can continue to contribute my wage earning years which are rapidly diminishing."

Shut up slave! Good luck. We got three for ya there. Thank you Now we move to Boris Chypinyk, who's in Pleasantville New York $200 associate executive producer ship says I was compelled to write about Ukraine. I know this note is long Sorry, it's okay We won't read at all first off even for the no agenda audience I must preface this by saying f Putin hope he hangs from a lamppost soon see This is one of these jobs

2:16:26 Fortunately, historically speaking when Russians removed autocratic warmonger leaders in the past nothing bad has happened. I was born in Kiev Well, he spells it K-I-E-V. He says that's how I spell it? I don't read or speak a lick of Ukrainian good so I didn't offend him grew up in America my whole family spent a lifetime over there So my perspective is not it's not quite firsthand. I am 100% Jewish historically this meant I'm a Jew from Ukraine and not Ukrainian interesting take I was as shocked as anyone they elected a Jewish president overwhelmingly while their elections are shoddy. They're certainly quite superior to Russia's and the state of Georgia and Michigan." I don't think many people had President Barack Hussein Obama on their bingo card either

2:17:17 Okay, a few things people should understand this note is long but it's content. This is I like this This is good. This is important kind of stuff We need to be talking about the difference between Russians and Ukrainians is quite a bit less than Protestant and Catholic Irish the entire Ukrainian ethnic identity is built on hating the Russian state and and before that the Polish and Austro-Hungarian state, and for good reason. Ukrainians will generally not admit this. This invasion has created a new level of national unity and mythology that clearly Putin nor I expected." Whatever Zelensky's main faults, I believe he flipped the script and was supposed to flee and create the perennial government in exile our spooks love so much! This upset Russian plans some quizzling was supposed to surrender by now

2:18:03 Crimea will return to Ukraine maybe the day after Texas returns to Mexico. Yeah, the Donbas region is way more Russian than Texas or California is American and The story of Ukraine and the Nazis in World War two was not good but it's in fact quite a bit more nuanced So I think that's a very superficial trope as much as I hate to say it I would read Stefan Bandera's wiki entry The very short version is, as far as leaders from the last 100 years he is really the only one who emerged to fought for an independent Ukrainian state against Poles Russians Nazis and communists. I'm not defending the guy in the least but nations and cultures need their heroes and find them where they can had he lived in the 1700's he would have been glossed over in the fog of history As others have said about Poland Ukraine has the misfortune being between Germany and Russia not on the west coast

2:18:58 Hold on a second, where am I? Not on the west coast of the United States. That's where it ends for me So what is our takeaway here he wants Putin dead Well, I think a lot of Ukrainians would say that yeah right now for sure someone's invading your country Yeah, no matter what degree of course Hmm okay I don't see that he's condemning us. No, no, no, all we do is read deconstruct the news and then try to make something out of it. Actually appreciate that he sent this note in. That's very helpful. Alright onward!

Dr. Ashish Jha Appointed White House COVID Coordinator

President Biden appointed Dr. Ashish Jha, Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, to replace Jeff Zients as the White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator. Dr. Jha emphasizes preparation for future surges and variants while defending the efficacy of current vaccines against the BA.2 subvariant.

2:22:17 I'm moving it. It's gone. Okay, so while all this has been taking place quietly Delta Kron is sneaking up on us Yeah Everybody we you don't you think you could you just think you can just be oh and just careful No no We are switching up the team. We've got new teams coming in although Fauci is back He's doing some interviews. We have a new kovat czar Did you know we had a new COVID czar, John? Curiously I did not know. Yes the new COVID czar is Dr. JHA! And who does he replace... He replaces somebody well i have a clip here and i'll find out who he replaces oh here it is

2:23:10 Jeff Zients, remember that guy? Jeff Zients the guy who also did- Yeah yeah I never got anywhere he never showed up. Nah they called him to fix the Obamacare website He's a fixer so they're getting the fixer out bringing in a doctor Dr. Jha Just bringing our friend Dr. Ashish Jha the Dean of the Brown University School of Public Health and Dr. Jha let me start with congratulations President Biden has asked you to be his new White House COVID-19 response coordinator. Tell us how you see the job, what your number one job is in that role? Yeah, good morning George. Thanks for having me back. Look we're not done with this pandemic as much as we all wish We are not and so the president has laid out a plan for how we're going to prepare For future surges future variants and what we need to do And you know I'm part of the team that's gonna help implement that plan because whatever the pandemic throws at us George We have got to be ready for it and we've got to get the American people through that time period It's throwing BA2 at us right now What do you make of that?

2:24:08 You know, look BA2 about a quarter of the cases here already. It is clearly a bit more transmissible The good news about BA2 is our vaccines work just fine Just fine! It's the same virus as BA1 that swept How can anyone with a straight face say our vaccines work just fine? We know this is not true They don't work just fine But he's repeating the big lie. I'm pretty confident we're going to get through any BA-2 surge that comes our way. And Pfizer is now requesting authorization for that second booster shot for people 65 and over, are we heading towards a world where everyone's gonna need his second booster shot at some point?

2:25:08 Yeah, it's a very good question. We've always wanted to be driven by data on this we have not seen the full set of data yet They just filed it with the FDA I suspect we probably will end up needing to give that second booster to high-risk people whether other people will need it or not Just not sure you want to see that full set of data Dr. Jha, thanks very much. Thanks as always for your time and your information. Oh yes your timing information doctor jha. No information whatsoever Now it's not just Pfizer who is pushing now the drug dealers are literally coming to your door and saying hey man It's time for you to buy some more You know otherwise that we won't be on the route anymore The request from Moderna overnight goes beyond what Pfizer requested earlier this week Moderna is asking

CHAPTER 39 / 53 Discussion

Moderna and Pfizer Seek Second Booster Authorization

Moderna has requested FDA emergency use authorization for a second COVID-19 booster shot for all adults, while Pfizer's request is limited to those 65 and older. The World Health Organization (WHO) monitors the BA.2 subvariant, describing it as a "recombinant" of Delta and Omicron.

moderna· pfizer· fda· booster shots· ba.2 variant· who

2:25:48 asking the FDA for emergency use authorization for all adults 18 and older to be eligible for a second booster. That's 1 4th shot in all Pfizer requests only included those adult 65 and older now during this as this was meant to provide more flexibility to federal regulators as they determine who should be eligible for additional dose, including those at higher risk of severe COVID-19 the concern here is waning immunity has health officials are tracking Omicron sub variant known as BA to new COVID cases worldwide increased this week by nearly 10% following a six week decline and CDC director Dr Rochelle Walensky is now warning that it's certainly possible that mask recommendations

2:26:31 could have to be re-implemented, anticipating there could be an increase in new cases. Currently BA2 now makes up nearly a quarter of all new cases in the U.S., A range of estimates show the subvariant is between 30 and 80 percent more transmissible but so far no indication that it causes more severe disease Okay, let's take a look at this disease. Let's follow the science Let's go to the root of all evil to the World Health Organization also known as The Water Closet Maria von Kerkhove She is explaining and this is a produced produced video so apologies for the music up front here That's how critical it is that you get into the mood as she's about to tell you about BA2 the subvariant

2:27:18 Yes, we are aware of this recombinant. It's a combination of Delta Ay dot 4 and Omicron Ba dot 1 it's been detected but there are very low levels of this detection the recombinant itself This is something that is expected given the large amount of circulation The intense amount of circulation that we saw with both omicron and delta I'm just gonna interrupt for seconds so people don't get too hypnotized by that music because that is intentional And given the sheer number of changes and mutations within Omicron, it was much easier for researchers, scientists, public health professionals people who are studying the genome to be able to detect these recombinants. We have not seen any change in epidemiology

2:28:04 With this recombinant, we haven't seen any change in severity but there are many studies that are underway. Unfortunately we do expect to see recombinants because this is what viruses do they change over time. WHO has been aware of this because of our technical advisory group for virus evolution so this is something that's on our radar it's something that we are monitoring so it's really critical that we have testing and it's really critical that we continue sequencing that we have good geographic representation of sequencing around the world, and that the systems that have been put in place for surveillance or testing for sequencing right now be reinforced. These are the systems that we have in place and so we will update you on any new information as soon as we have it." This is exactly the music they put out. Question? Yeah

New York City COVID Messaging and BA.2 Concerns

New York City's new Health Commissioner, Dr. Ashwin Vasan, warns of a potential surge driven by the BA.2 subvariant. Despite low current hospitalization rates, the city continues to encourage at-home testing and maintains private-sector vaccine mandates that affect professional athletes.

ashwin vasan· new york city· ba.2 variant· pcr tests· vaccine mandates

2:28:53 That is an announcement, specific kind of an announcement about a specific kinda thing. What is the point of the music? That's why I left it in there! It's mind control! No but it's mind control! All mind control is total horse crap! I'm gonna produce a couple clips the New York Times. Okay, but I'm just laying out the quilt work for you here New York Times Here's their headline another kovat surge may be coming are we ready for it subhead? We've been wearing rose-colored glasses instead of correcting our vision one scientist said

2:29:37 So they're gearing it up while we're not looking, while we are all waving blue and yellow flags. And ground zero once again is going to be New York where they still have mandates for commercial companies for sports venues you cannot get in or out without being vaccinated in corporate America in New York this is not discussed except we do have a new health commissioner yes The new team members in New York, boots on the ground. He's the new face of the city's COVID messaging today was Dr. Ashwin Basan's first COVID briefing Something you'll hear me talk about a lot is the emotional toll

2:30:16 that this pandemic has taken on all of us. Right now, the city's color-coded COVID system still has us enjoying low levels of new cases and hospitalizations across the board. The seven day average is a low 1.49 percent but the BA2 Omicron subvariant is here and is accounting for more of the new cases. And things have changed since the surge around the holidays that had people waiting in long lines on the street for testing For one, at-home test kits are much easier to come by. And even though the city only uses PCR test data to calculate the positivity level... I strongly encourage New Yorkers to use home tests if that's the way to get yourself tested If you have a home test and you aren't feeling well in the morning Use that home test to know if you have COVID before you go to work Before you go anywhere Getting treatment is also easier We're encouraging all New Yorkers who test

2:31:06 positive at home to call 212 COVID-19 and get treated. And some mandates have also changed, but the private sector vaccine mandate that has sidelined professional athletes in New York could very well continue into baseball season it's not changing anytime soon I think it's indefinite this point I think we you know people who have tried to predict what's going to happen in the future for this pandemic have repeatedly found egg on their face as they say And I'm not gonna do that here today. So for his own ego, we're not going to take any risks here? I don't want egg on my face! He doesn't want an egg on his face... Forget about your kid with a diaper on its head at five in the school... There will be no egg under the diaper now let me mention something here this is kind of funny

CHAPTER 41 / 53 Discussion

CDC Corrects Pediatric COVID Death Data Error

The CDC corrected a "coding logic error" on its COVID data tracker that had inflated pediatric death counts by nearly 24%. The fix resulted in the removal of 416 deaths from the 0-17 age group, leading to questions regarding the reliability of the agency's public data reporting.

cdc· pediatric deaths· coding error· data tracker· omicron

2:31:53 because I still think gambling interests are involved. And i like that, I like this theory because we're still waiting for Kyrie Irving to... Kyrie currently the situation is that you can get into the arena without a vaccination and sit and watch a game but you can't be on the floor without a vaccination play a game unless you're from another team So currently other teams that have members of not vaccinated can play in the arena in Madison Square Garden, but Kyrie still cant play there. There was a carve out for sports and show business I believe. I believe celebrities are also allowed to visit and work in New York without being vaccinated But Kyrie cannot play on the court? Correct! No, of course not. Im telling you this is a scam You know why that is because he's black

2:32:51 They're racist in New York. The whole team is black, but that's beside the point! Don't ruin my gag man! Yeah I know...I thought the kicker was good so uh i think there's something very suspicious about this yeah you think it's the gambling and and I kind of like that But it's because this guy didn't want egg on his face, apparently. Yeah that guy didn't want egg on his face as they say. No egg on my face... no egg on my face Now what's interesting about the- In other words by the way saying what he said and how he said it and where he said in what the context was The guy is a gutless wonder okay? Sounds about right Two fun facts The first one is you know they tried to get the booster shot done tried to get

2:33:41 approval for under five year olds and now in a somewhat mentioned report the CDC has fixed their coding logic error colloquially known as a glitch All-time pediatric deaths from COVID 19 reported on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's COVID data tracker plummeted nearly 24 percent after the agency resolved a coding logic error on Wednesday. The CDC's COVID data tracker had presented a misleading impression prior to the fix that children were dying at a sharply amplified rate amid the Omicron surge earlier this year. The tool had reported 1,755 all-time deaths from children 0–17 on Tuesday with 738 of the deaths occurring during the first 10 weeks of 2022

2:34:38 After CDC resolved the error, the pediatric death figure reported on its COVID data tracker dropped to 1339 all-time deaths. A reduction of 23.7%. How can we trust them on anything? This is terrible. Yeah, and no one... I mean this back in the day this would be a 60 minutes, this would be investigative reporting Woodward and Bernstein would come out of the closet. I'd like to see some coders go in there and deconstruct the code! Yes coding logic error with code review. Okay well let's take a look at the code. Code review, code review, code review. Code review exactly. There should be if Americans should

CHAPTER 42 / 53 Discussion

Wastewater Surveillance as a Leading Pandemic Indicator

Public health officials are increasingly using wastewater surveillance to detect COVID-19 trends. Because infected individuals shed the virus in waste before showing symptoms, wastewater data serves as a leading indicator for community spread, whereas deaths are considered a lagging indicator.

wastewater· surveillance· leading indicator· berkeley· public health

2:35:23 The other fun fact... Just telling us this nonsense doesn't cut it as far as I'm concerned. Not at all! The public doesn't know about code review, but that's what they need to do. They need to bring some experts in and take apart the code Another fun fact from one of our producers BA2 if you pronounce it Batu, B-A-TU the way you would look at it, Batu It means big dick in Turkish So I think we keep the Batu. Okay, keep going Batu for now on! Batu is what it is...Batuu and we speak Turkish And Gary mentioned that wastewater is not a trailing indicator He says it is in fact a leading indicator according to the officials who are doing this waste water surveillance Okay, this is interesting. I want to hear how its a leading indicator

2:36:17 And let's explain to people what the difference is. The leading indicator means that something happens and it tells you that something else is going to happen afterwards, whereas a typical coronavirus test provides results for one person sampling wastewater for the presence of COVID-19 provides an assessment for larger community. The results are a leading indicator of the status of the pandemic because infected individuals shed the virus in poop before they show symptoms In fact, our producer Gary says... That would be a leading indicator if this is true. Our producer Gary says the lagging indicator is death. Which I thought was genius! Yeah that's a fact. A good lagging indicator So there you go and they're doing this in Berkeley so you might want to poop in a bucket because they're gonna come knocking on your door That's where I've always pooped

CHAPTER 43 / 53 Discussion

UK Lifts Travel Restrictions and Mask Psychology

The United Kingdom has lifted all COVID-19 travel restrictions for unvaccinated arrivals, signaling a shift toward treating the virus as endemic. The hosts discuss the lingering psychology of mask-wearing in the U.S. and speculate on how pandemic policies might influence the upcoming midterm elections.

united kingdom· travel ban· pcr tests· midterm elections· mail-in ballots

2:37:23 Why does that not surprise me? Yeah, it's good for the soil. It's also going to throw in the next door neighbor's yard and figure out where it came from my goodness do you have any other COVID stuff you want to talk about I do have a COVID update from the UK so we can see what's going on there because they seem to be a leading indicator and they're not going along with the program or something unvaccinated arrivals at the British border will no longer require a negative COVID-19 test results after the country's health minister said rising rates were to be quote expected but the UK remained in a very good position. Two years after authorities first introduced travel bans, with frequently confusing policy shifts around quarantine, costly testing and contact tracing, the British travel industry welcomed the end of complex regulations. The UK's Aviation Minister Robert Court said that sacrifices made by the entire country had meant people could once more travel without quote bureaucratic restrictions though emergency plans remain just in case concerning new variants appeared in future

2:38:18 A whole bunch of countries are lifting requirements, except the United States of course. Even as an American citizen you have to have a negative PCR so-called test to reenter the country and if you're not an American citizen you need to be vaccinated as well. You can also just enter through the southern border It's a very old joke but yeah...yeah you can but it's annoying because people can't travel! And I don't know why we....well i do Cause this shit is coming down again. I think they're gonna try it I think they're gonna try it. Smart money, once they better try it soon because once these midterm elections take place they're gonna all say whoops we're doing the wrong thing and they'll pull a plug on all this right after though at the election you watch Right which is why I think that they're ready to do it again now Well then there's totally hosed although wait a minute You might be onto something cause if you do it again now and call for an all mail-in ballot

2:39:20 Then you can rig the election again. What if it became... Look! Please see what the mainstream media has just done to everybody with Ukraine, please look I mean it's getting people who don't live in Ukraine who never heard of the place to hate Putin, want him assassinated. I mean this is bringing up a lot of anger and a lot... This is not just about Russia this is three years of frustration people are having and I think it's going to come again

2:40:01 And you know that there's enough people in New York and Los Angeles and all the big cities who are already walking outside still with masks on. They're afraid to take the mask off, most people won't admit it they don't want to take their mask off because they're worried that they'll be seen as a Republican That's literally why people are still wearing masks It's really not because they're worried about anything And so if you're, if you say you're in the elite crowd that is manipulating the American public and you're getting them to do this and get him to do that. Don't what you think it'd be just like just unbelievable fun to just keep doing it with other things and just see how far you can go as a kick. Wouldn't you? Do it I would let's see we could all of a sudden make it so they people can't wear socks

University of Bristol Anti-Anxiety Breathing Cushion

Researchers at the University of Bristol developed an inflatable "breathing cushion" designed to reduce anxiety in students and dementia patients. The device simulates slow breathing patterns when hugged, providing a non-pharmaceutical intervention for stress during exams.

university of bristol· anxiety· breathing cushion· dementia· mental health

2:40:52 You know, they have to go with no socks because socks are something we get to dream something up. But what you doing for some reason that you can't wear socks? And let's see what happens. No, it would be just nothing but endless and endless yucks. Something even better is happening as people now they know with with the war not even saying the war in Ukraine, which is say with a war with a war raging right now you know and COVID, and we're gonna have the Batuu right around the corner. CBS News knows exactly what people need." When it comes to stressful situations taking college exams ranks right up there so the University of Bristol was the perfect setting for British researchers to test their new anti-anxiety device

2:41:42 What do you think the anti-anxiety device is? I mean, it sounds technical. Electroshock! Anxiety device... What we got them to do was a maths test so we had them to do some sequencing of numbers some which were impossible So we really ramped up the level of anxiety. They tested more than 100 students, giving a third of them this breathing cushion to hug before the exam. Its hidden inflatable pouch simulates slow breathing that reduced their pre-test anxiety so they still got anxious but it got less anxious and if we gave no intervention whatsoever based on questionnaires researchers found anxiety scores for cushion hugging students were similar to those who meditated It just has a lovely intuitive

2:42:26 Simple feel to it. Textile designer Annie Llywood helped create the calming cushion and says dementia patients also find it comforting. They made a smile which was lovely and they didn't want to let go of the cushion And they all said, oh I remember when my The child has this size. Testing is still in the early stages and the pillow hasn't been tried on patients with diagnosed anxiety disorders, but researchers are hopeful We can use therapies we can use pharmaceutical interventions but they take time they cost money whereas a cushion is just something people intuitively interact with And scientists say just a quick cuddle could put anxiety to rest All right so back in the day

2:43:08 You got a bullet wound, you know it's like here bite on this leather strap and have some whiskey and we're gonna burn it right out of ya. We'll dig it out Now when you're anxious... ...you get the calming cushion Mike Lindell is gonna make a killing on this. Oh, Mike Lindell could probably jump on this right away and have a special version that looks like a teddy bear I think that'd be even funnier! There's there's a lot of crazy stuff going on right now...I mean I haven't even followed the female swimming championships everyone's all angry you know what we have right now people are just

House Passes Crown Act Against Hair Discrimination

The U.S. House of Representatives passed the CROWN Act, which bans race-based hair discrimination in employment and federally funded programs. The legislation specifically protects hairstyles such as braids, cornrows, twists, and afros, and now moves to the Senate for consideration.

2:43:51 We have these like social media martyrs where people are not even really talking about the issues anymore that they're They're trying to say stuff and see if it'll get them deplatformed and other people go around saying wow man. He was really cool He's probably gonna get deplatformed That's all they talk about now Social media martyrdom, and you're losing out on on anything of any anything sensical being discussed. Anyway, there's enough in the mainstream that'll just make you go what? And now to a bill that would push to put a stop to black Americans being treated unfairly because of their hairstyle. The Democratic-led House of Representatives passed what is known as the Crown Act and it bans race based hair discrimination in employment and federally funded programs

2:44:40 The act would protect against styles including braids, cornrows twists and afros. The house passed this bill in a 235 to 189 vote and it now goes to the senate. Now black hair particularly for black women is third rail can't touch it stay away but come on what are we doing? This just makes no sense. It's out of control, you know? Is there really an issue that people are being discriminated against... I mean it's not just about hair is it John we know what this is about They're black No!

2:45:25 This is this is for the for the nutjobs who got their ear holes blown out and that face tattoos with the face piercings everything Normalize it all normalize at all. This started with Hooters You have to hire me because I got my face tattooed and pierced. Exactly, you did- Hi! What would you like? Burger? Would you like a bow fries with that burger and you get your disgusting person up there? Yeah, is that trying to ruin the American business? That was really a poor um...

Robin DiAngelo and the White Fragility Narrative

Author Robin DiAngelo appeared with Van Jones to discuss her theories on "white fragility" and systemic racism. DiAngelo argues that white people measure the value of their spaces by the absence of Black people, a claim the hosts analyze as part of a broader cultural narrative.

2:46:11 You know, I've been clipping. We get it just before we go to the break. I have two more clips. Oh, why don't you... I've been starting to collect Shepard Smith and all these other guys that have these little zingers they like to just throw in. Let me stay on the LGBTQ Black Lives Matter. Yeah, you can't move away from that because I got a couple more bullcrap stuff to play because just when this Crown Act comes in Van Jones recipient of $100 million dollars from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos resurrects Robin DiAngelo She's coming back!

2:46:47 Here we go. Oh, yeah And I'm gonna focus for those who don't remember this is the the author of white fragility and a consultant to the stars To make sure you're not racist and I'm gonna focus my remarks want to be clear that all people have color experience racism in both shared ways In specific ways but for purposes of your in my positions I'm gonna focus on black people by every measure black people at the bottom and white people are at the top and as even kindi says there's really only two overall ways to explain that Notice he's talking to Van Jones, a black man with $100 million. At the bottom! At the bottom Robin! By every measure black people are at the bottom and white people are at the top and as Ibram Kendi says there's really only two overall ways to explain that White people are superior that's why we're on the top

2:47:35 or a systemic racism. And then you add segregation, most white people live segregated lives and I think the most powerful message of white supremacy it's that I could live love work play die in racial segregation with no sense whatsoever than anything about you has been lost to me that's the deepest message of all, the absence of any sense that is segregated life. That there's some value missing. What is up with that? What does this laugh tell us again?

2:48:13 message of all, the absence of any sense that is segregated life. That there's some value missing in fact white people if we're being honest measure the value of our spaces by the absence of black people. Oh John let's be honest for a moment do you value your space by the absence of black people? Well I do when i'm doing the podcast and with some black guy in here looking at me And I have to say there are laws in 28 states right now and more being pushed that would guarantee that we stay uneducated Which means that will protect this system Stay on. Oh, this must be critical race theory. No, I don't know That tell is the one that really you're caught that I yeah, that's something wrong with her

Disney Employees Protest Florida Parental Rights Bill

Disney employees and ESPN broadcasters held moments of silence to protest Florida's "Parental Rights in Education" bill, colloquially labeled the "Don't Say Gay" bill by critics. The controversy centers on the restriction of sexual orientation and gender identity instruction for students in kindergarten through third grade.

disney· florida· parental rights in education· lgbtqia· espn

2:49:03 Now let's go quickly to ESPN. As you know, I'm always watching the women's basketball tournament. Love it! Trying to get me and trying to pick up some weed tips from the ladies And this was an interesting little moment they had. Our LGBTQIA plus teammates at Disney asked for our solidarity and support, including our company's support in opposition to the parental rights in education bill in the state of Florida and similar legislature across the United States This is the so-called don't say gay bill The threat to any human rights is a threat to all human rights. And at this time, Courtney and I we're going to take a pause from our broadcasts to show our love and support." So they had a moment of silence on the broadcast so that show their love and support for the LGBTQIA... For what? The bill? For the bill yeah because-and just everyone knows We have gotten to a place in United States and it's probably global

2:50:06 where school believes that they should not just be educating your child but really raising your child. And they feel it is an outrage that they cannot discuss sexual education of any kind before third grade. Third grade, yeah! When you're what? Six? Seven? Seven. Well seven maybe... Yeah and this has become incredibly controversial because the way it goes and then let's just present the other side is well if you're then a a trans child, male or female irrelevant younger than seven well you're gonna feel out of place so that's mean and to accentuate this and to politicize it over the backs of children as usual they lie and say oh this bill says you can't say gay which is also rude because they never bring in gay it's always LGBTQQIAPK but no they don't say that

2:51:11 So the whole thing is, this is what really bugs me about American politics. This! This thing... The lies? Cheating?! Yeah but it's always abusing some group in this case its children. Let's do something else for political gain. Ah let's abuse more black people that's funny let's bring in the white lady to tell us how to do it And I think I told you that your pick for Supreme Court justice was never going to pan out. No, you didn't! I did. I said they're gonna find problems with her because... Well they're always gonna find problems with her but- But wait the reason why is because I said it was what's his face?

2:52:00 Lindsay no, no who got who got Biden elected or he got Biden basically the the nomination Right. The black guy yes, what's that Cummings? No, yeah, I'm a guy and he has his candidate Yeah, I know that we discussed it when I think He felt he should be the Supreme Court justice Oh well That's never gonna happen Well And so this what you're about to hear is my contribution from the war room Bannon's podcast he brings on good because I have a Supreme Court justice clip too good which will counter this. I hope we'll find out

2:52:38 This is, who is this? Mike Davis. I have no idea who it is but listen to the story that he has as to why her nomination is quote problematic and I think its the Democrats are behind this because they don't want this particular Supreme Court justice. Mike how...is just an effort to smear Judge Brown Jackson or is there really something here sir So thank you for having me. Judge Katonji Brown Jackson has a 25 year record of advocating for lighter sentences, for people who possess child pornography and it's going... It permeates her public record in her Senate Judiciary Committee disclosures at the Article 3 Project, the group that I ran we did a deep dive into this and we're going back to our Harvard Law School note where she

2:53:35 argued that our sex registry laws are unconstitutionally punitive, essentially. To her service on the United States Sentencing Commission which is the policymaking body they make recommendations to federal judges on the sentence ranges for various federal crimes She made it her one of her pet projects there to take on child pornography. And she's arguing that these mandatory minimum sentences mandated by Congress for these child pornographers, for these pedophiles are too harsh And then you see this, Josh Hawley, Senator Josh Hawley from Missouri posted a Twitter thread on this where he documents. He has the receipts on there. He documents seven cases while Judge Jackson was a district court judge where she imposed sentences below even the recommended guidelines for these child pornographers so it's a disturbing pattern that the Senate must explore when they start these hearings on Monday

2:54:37 I'm telling you, only the Democrats could be behind this. No it's these guys! I think that this is a red herring that you played and i'm glad you did because... It's totally a red herring! I believe that and I'm going to show you, I'm gonna play a clip from NPR about her confirmation hearings and the thing you notice stands out like a sore thumb is there's no mention of this. Zero mention of this pedophile thing, which they could go after her for but I think the fix is in and both sides are ready to push her through because when you listen to this NPR clip they don't even come close to mentioning that and play this confirmation hearing clip

2:55:20 Clyburn, by the way was... Yes. Clyburn's the guy. Looking ahead to Monday confirmation hearings for President Biden's pick to replace Justin Stephen Breyer on the Supreme Court begin what are you watching for? One thing we expect Republican senators to go after is her history as a judge of favoring pro-abortion rights. They will call this... Judge Katonji Brown Jackson That is right. And another is her record of defending drug dealers and other street criminals, of course she did this as part of her job as a public defender shortly after law school that's an important part of guaranteeing some semblance of equal treatment under the law but let's just say it's not a lucrative job no current members in the Supreme Court are former public defenders neither are very many of the Senate Judiciary Committee members that's the committee handling these hearings

2:56:16 They don't even come close to touching this topic. This topic is a third rail, they're not going to bring it up and might show up in the hearings a little bit she's a shoe-in. All right well I'm still saying no. Say what you want? I'm saying no. I don't know why are you saying no though whether who's better i mean i looked at all of the candidates and she's clearly the best one she's personable she sounds like she got the same kind of personality as the rest of them just kinda goofy Smart got good credentials the reason why I'm saying no is because it has nothing to do with her It has to do with the power players in Washington

2:56:54 I don't think she may not be anyone's girl. Clyburn had a candidate, mm-hmm...I considered her and I always thought that if... Look at what Clyburn did to get Biden the nomination! I know, I looked at the Clyburn candidate and I think Biden is already disgusted with him so what about this woman? I like her better She's more likely to get through without a lot of aggravation The Clyburn candidate is kind of a schoolmarm type she's no good. I'm telling you the Clyburn candidate is Clyburn Look, this is a Pope moment. I like the idea and you have done this. But you're not doing it with this one He said black woman now unless Clyburn identifies as a black woman he's not getting in Now that's a possibility considering the swimmer We'll see I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda Imagine all the people who could do that Oh yeah, that'd be fab! Yeah on NO AGENDA

2:59:42 5510. Then we have a very long note which is attached to, we don't know what because the note confused us so we're not going to read the note that's too long anyway because it seems this is from David Wicker he came in with some 55 something double nickels on the dime double nickels on the dime goes on about he some amount over a knighthood amount, but then he says he's the Baron. He wants to be a Baron somehow and it is so confusing this note is so confusing that includes a list of thank yous Academy Award style

3:00:23 to Lindsey and Jackie Green, and blah blah blah. And it's just we don't...we can't make heads or tails of what he has to say whether he is a baron or is a knight there was no evidence that he got enough to be a baron So we're skipping the note and when he straightens himself out, and gives us something more concise and readable. We'll put him on the list for knighting or I don't know what? The part that will read is it's his... He turned 52 last night so he's donating for that He is congratulating his smoking hot red-hot mama on 15 years of marriage.

We thanked her, she had a Dame name and we promptly forgot her! And we didn't Dame her so I got a special make-good blade... But you do want to be curious about back and forth one? We should get a little bit behind the scenes Back and forth went on between Adam myself about Black Dame

3:04:55 Which is typically if we forget to bring someone up on to the round table, to the podium then a knight can become a black knight and add that to their name. And I guess we had a discussion about black dames not being a thing? Yeah it wasn't a thing because most women don't want to be a black dame it just doesn't sound great like Black Knight! I'm a guy with a black knight I don't see the difference, honest. And I argued that this is... you know we don't do that black dame thing and he's got an argument with me next thing you know she sends a letter in complaining about not getting her dame hood and wants to be a black dame. Surprise surprise! So I wasn't even close to being correct in this assertion and I relent. It's alright virtue signaling it's okay

FBI Settlement with Parkland Shooting Survivors

The Justice Department finalized a $127 million settlement with survivors and families of the 2018 Parkland high school shooting. The settlement resolves lawsuits alleging the FBI was negligent in failing to act on specific tips regarding the gunman, Nicholas Cruz, prior to the massacre.

fbi· parkland shooting· nicholas cruz· negligence· justice department

3:13:03 Okay, do you have isos? Oh we have more yeah We have the ISO don't wait and we already have the ISO unless you want it just one of these might bump it But I don't think there's any that was that someone which I mean that I can move these. Yeah. Yeah I think we should do that. We should keep that as the ISO I have a last clip. Okay, hold on a second... What is your last clip? This is a news story that nobody's played once on NPR and not played again and I think it's a new story should be on the network news I don't know if you've heard about it 127 million dollars FBI paid out yes doing their job yes I did hear some of this oops sorry why is that not

3:13:58 The Justice Department has finalized a $127 million settlement with survivors and the families of some of the victims at the 2018 mass shooting at a high school in Parkland, Florida. NPR's Greg Allen reports that the settlement resolves lawsuits accusing the FBI of negligence. Seventeen people were killed and 17 injured when a gunman opened fire in the high school. Survivors and family members sued, saying the FBI failed to act on tips it received about the gunman former student Nicholas Cruz One of the tips cited Cruz' guns his disturbing social media posts and his desire to kill people

3:14:35 The FBI never followed up on those tips or pass the information along to local authorities. It later apologized to the victims and their families in a statement, the Justice Department says the settlement does not amount to an admission of fault. The gunman pleaded guilty to the shootings and is awaiting sentencing." Yeah I did hear about this yeah that's pretty crazy else has $27 million but it's not our fault we're just gonna get nothing but money to give away Yeah, but this I will say. I do believe that school shooting...I mean holy crap there was a lot of mess ups from the FBI! We talked about this and remember this coming across and we were surprised that's happening at all because the FBI should be sued for all kinds of stuff

3:15:26 Well, this was I guess very egregious. But this is again counter to the narrative that we're being watched and carefully monitored. Yeah And we keep in track of everybody because they can't keep track of someone when they got the goods on them and their people are sending in hey this kid, this kid, this kid. Yeah Eh whatever...and they don't even bother do anything it's just like what are they doing? Well it's a pretty bad- Is about Trump if it's about Trump maybe will do something Well, we'll have to see what happens between now and Thursday. Go ahead sue your local FBI That's fun I'd like to read that case actually say why in this case and why not many other cases maybe shut somebody up? No, once you get a hold of it take a look You love doing that coming up next on no agenda stream live the battle of the douchebags with sir seat sitter lavish boo-burry and Larry It couldn't get any better than that

Episode 1435 Outro and Media Assassination Mix

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak sign off from episode 1435, promising to return on Thursday. The show concludes with a "media assassination" audio mix featuring clips of conflicting reports on Hunter Biden, chemical weapons warnings, and COVID-19 variant coverage.

adam curry· john c dvorak· media assassination· hunter biden· chemical weapons

3:16:29 All right end of show mixes we have a nice cornucopia amdushas. We've got Tom Stark weather we've got Clip custodian Neil Jones and another Rolando Gonzales And coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6, in the morning everybody I'm Adam Curry and from northern Silicon Valley where it rained the other day and is clear as a bell and beautiful today I am John C. Dvorak We return on Thursday right here on NO Agenda please remember us at dvorak dot org slash NA Until then adios some mofos! ...and such

3:17:18 A friend in need is a friend indeed. But they know that we can't go there, at least not yet... Putin is trying to bake the trap so that we go in and that's what could be the beginning of World War III. A Putin totally irresponsible. If you hold it near and dear, do you like to be able...

3:18:05 We choose science over fiction. We choose truth over facts. To funding for the National Guard, that's a fancy way of saying governors need to be able to get funding when they need it and bring the National Guard into play. Myself, when I see that those tanks are putting out attacks... I'd like to take me up on the tanks. I mean, I think they're very clever. Them having more planes might be useful but that's not a military strategy. We have this notion somehow before you cannot do it

3:19:03 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented white kids. Putin may circle Kiev with tanks, but he'll never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people. Chris Van Cleave with the update on junk in your trunk thank you That's why we want to talk about the junk in your trunk. Junk, junk, junk in your trunk.

3:19:58 You have warned that Russians could carry out a chemical attack. I hope it's not they use chemical weapons. Moscow may be setting the stage for a chemical weapons attack. Tonight, even with Russia stalling in its invasion of Ukraine The brutality of Russian forces has shocked the world. Has shocked the world... The Secretary of State with an ominous message today, warning that Vladimir Putin is growing more and more desperate and could be preparing to use chemical weapons. Chemical weapons... Chemical weapons attack! Chemical attacks...

3:20:43 Chemical weapons Now we have to let you know everyone has been really enjoying the relaxed restrictions from recently getting us back to a normal life but there is still concern over COVID. Dr Anthony Fauci telling ABC News today that we should not be surprised to see an increase in cases in the next few weeks here in New York City Oh and we begin with concerns about the latest COVID variant. New COVID-19 cases globally nearly 10%

3:21:24 10% going in the wrong direction. They're up nearly 10%. While COVID cases have been declining recently, positivity rates in our area have been slowly creeping upwards. New details now emerging about the new Omicron sub-variant. Be adept to the sub lineage of Omicron and it has been increasing over the past several weeks we've been seeing that. The good news from countries where the strain is becoming dominant is that cases don't seem more severe than the Omicron we know and it feels similar. Leaders are expected to talk about everything from testing to the positivity rate, to that new Omicron variant BA2. Currently there is no evidence that BA2 causes more severe illness increases risks of hospitalization we're going to be following the guidance and science from our federal colleagues

3:22:13 there's no evidence that hunter biden has done anything wrong. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Biden, by Joe Biden or by Hunter Biden. There is no evidence that anybody did anything illegal regarding the bidens and Ukraine and Joe Biden was carrying out US policy. There's no evidence that Joe Biden actually did anything wrong or did anything to sway things in Hunter Biden's favor he's denied that his son ever lobbied him for anything President Trump wanted dirt on Joe and Hunter Biden. Trump's claims about wrongdoing here are unsubstantiated, we have looked lots of outlets have looked. PolitiFact found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his sons interests in mind

3:22:53 Let's be clear, Hunter Biden didn't do anything illegal and his father the vice president didn't do anything illegal or unethical. President Trump has falsely accused your son of doing something wrong while serving on a company board in Ukraine I want to point out there is no evidence of wrongdoing by either one of you. Hunter Biden did nothing wrong Vice President Biden did nothing wrong Every single media outlet has said that there are no... There is no there-there to these allegations lies and smears It's true that there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Vice President Biden or that Hunter Biden broke any laws at all. There is no evidence of any wrongdoing by either Joe or Hunter Biden. Hunter has done nothing wrong. The bogus investigation of Joe Biden and Hunter Biden... It demonstrates the lifetime of integrity that have been

3:23:44 represented by the Bidens for their entire careers. What it confirms is that Hunter Biden is a person of integrity. I've never read a memoir like this one before, this is Hunter Biden's book Beautiful Things. It's breathtaking! There was nothing wrong that Vice President Biden did. My son did nothing wrong...I did nothing wrong The best podcast in the universe!
