That 70's Podcast

00:00 You can't handle the yak. Adam Curry, John C. DeVorek It's Thursday April 28th 2022 this is your award-winning Gitmo Nation Media Assassination Episode 1446 This is no agenda Tweeting my life away and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6 In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And for Northern Silicon Valley where I declare this 70s day...I'm John C. DeVorek It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning. Oh, hold on a second we got something for that let's see he's calling it 70s declaring its 70s day that means mean that something is happening with our call back to the 1970s. It's time now for no agenda seventies flashback Just one of many jingles I'm sure will receive Here's the deal yeah here's the deal oh hello Joe here's the deal

01:00 Here's the deal, no joke. I have a list of 70s terms that some of them came from late 60s and swept over the 70s and even went into the 80s but most of them are from the 70s. And out this huge list... Is Oh Wow on it? Of course! Yes good But its not one of the ones I picked although I could use it. I'm going to use 10 of these words in today show It's up to you. Ignore them or ring the bell, let me know that you're aware I think you'll miss probably most of them Oh really? Uh oh yeah Yeah You'll miss it because your kind of already talking this way and wow And uh

01:49 And then I'm going to drop in a term that I've isolated as only from the 80s. There's no way it was ever a 70s term, and I'm gonna use that one and it'll be interesting to see if you can... That's the only one I wonder if you can spot. It'd be interesting to see how are you gonna do this? So you're going to have a normal conversation with me but yet you have this background process running right on into insert words throughout the show okay yeah far out oh Come on man, you already have three of them now. So there's only seven left I told you i'm not using oh wow Oh okay two of them Well everybody wants to know our opinion What? As usual about Twitter! About Elon Musk buying Twitter Oh yeah your the one that said he wasn't gonna do it No uh-uh that's no what I said I said he will destroy twitter That's what I said It was very different from he is not going to do it

02:47 And I had a whole opinion, but then I read your sub stack. Ah! And it helped me a little bit form an opinion of what I think might really be happening. Another sub... Opinion number two? Yeah. V2 version 2.0 It's still the result is still the same thing but it's a little different based upon your sub-stack which was outstanding I might say Before we do that let's just have some fun listening to the M5M talking about this deal of Elon Musk purchasing Twitter. The deal is done, Twitter has been sold to Elon Musk

03:28 My tummy meter says there's something just not great about this. He talks about it being a free speech platform, I'm not sure what that means... This guy has no experience whatsoever with any of the lines of business involved in Twitter It seems to me that its about free speech of straight white men In many ways Twitter has been a dark dark place, I hope it doesn't get any darker You know this is a weird guy and its gonna be a private company Our public conversations shouldn't be at the whims of anybody. If you have $44 billion and you use it to buy Twitter, you make bad decisions. This affects all of us in terms of misinformation You know I guess billionaires want to take over free speech and i'm not here for that He talks about being a place where there's trust or there's open algorithms so its alot of words and kind of a word salad Im confused about what to do we all use twitter

04:33 Do I stop or do I wait and see what happens? And for me, that is something that is a bit scary. It was beautiful to see just for however long this lasts of apparently people can post anything they want now Bots are returning to everyone's account follower numbers are up people who were shadow banned are no longer shadow banned Have you been following some of these observations? Oh yeah, I see a lot of tweets that say hey can you see this now can you see me. Yeah and people are like yeah i see ya so what Did your follower count go up No! oh mine did huh yours didn't go up at all not even 100 or two not really oh I must have gone up to least 500 well and it's all bots its crap I didn't get any bots I must have bots already It's bitcoin bots

05:27 Bitcoin bus, that could be. That was... so that was obviously I didn't make that super cut but there was an even better clip that we have from Ari Melbourne from MSNBC who just without without even understanding how how blatantly he's letting the truth come out or what you say about yourself with your head in your mouth. It is just one of the most beautiful clips, it is 30 seconds I think it will be an evergreen. You own all of Twitter or Facebook or what have you? You don't have to explain yourself! You don't even have to be transparent! You could secretly ban one party's candidate or all of its candidates

06:03 all of its nominees or you could just secretly turn down the reach of their stuff and turn up the reach of something else and The rest of us might not even find out about it till after the election. Oh, no Elon Musk says this is all to help people because he is just a free speech philosophically clear open-minded helper Gee, is that possible? You think that could happen during an election that they would dial down opponents and maybe not talk about the Hunter Biden laptop. Stuff like that? Yeah! Gen Psaki... These guys are so... I don't know what their problem is

06:44 They just, I don't... it's beyond me. Of course you know what is going on! You know exactly what it is because they know that this is exactly how its worked and they're worried that they are going to lose this capability It's not like Ari doesn't know how the system works Democrats say stop that See thats the difference between you and me I think there a level of sincerity that you dont think exists Well it's very sad if he's 100% sincere Hey, maybe that guy's a dope so well now you go now. You're getting it the White House also quite concerned Here's Jen Psaki And does the White House have any concern that this new agreement might have President Trump back?

07:35 back on the platform. Well, you know what? This is Section 230 talk. They're ramping up. Now Section 230 may be... we may need to look at it! platforms must be held accountable for the harms they cause. He's been a strong supporter of fundamental reforms to achieve that goal, including reforms to Section 230 enacting antitrust reforms requiring more transparency and more and he's encouraged that there is bipartisan interest in Congress In terms of what hypothetical policies might happen I'm just not going to speak about it at this point in time

08:38 Yeah, section 230 anti-competitive. We should be looking at all this." So before we get to your sub stack what really happened over the weekend? It was quite interesting how he went from poison pill not gonna happen to all of a sudden looks like the deal's done looks like it's happening And of course it was a bloodbath Monday in the markets. It was that Dow Jones were down almost 1,000 points and now I heard a couple of things one is that Twitter might be on set to report really bad earnings and so they didn't want to have the share price go down too much because that would give Elon the opportunity to bid lower. Did you have any insight on this?

09:30 Nobody's I didn't see any of that. Oh, this is the market was this is my flying around though Why do you think this happened so quickly suddenly in the background? Well it started probably before we knew about it and they I don't know I mean They just I think that The word is that the shareholders demanded because they want to make some quick profits and you know get out of Dodge because there's always blasted as a dog just in sheep's clothing. And I don't know, I never know the speed of it, it just happened. The poison pilting Horowitz and I were discussing what happened to that? It didn't do anything. No!

10:15 I thought that they had filed it and was... No, no. I think right now the company is sabotaging the deal. Yes! I think that's why your numbers went up and your thoughts are back and the employees there was a good Babylon beam video that's floating around I'll post it on NO Agenda Social About you know the police being all bent out of shape about this because the whole operation apparently is woke. Yeah, I suggested that there was a sabotaging as well and I immediately got hit back No they were told to freeze the code no many changes yeah right people don't see ya You're told to freeze the code and everybody obeys

10:52 Yeah, exactly when you're Yes, that's what techies do. Of course a lockstep obey They don't know about throwing a wrench in the works or kicking somebody in the nuts they don't know anything about that By the way, at Deception.com I do have to mention something because it was within a few minutes but I had to add a disclaimer on one of the tweets that I posted within the thing because people kept saying you know what? We wasn't serious! I had one of those same tweets, a similar tweet in the newsletter and i want to read this tweet. Because I had a bunch of tweets interspersed within the column showing people being all panicky so this one is from Dr Matt Walsh Women's Studies School and he says my four-year old pangender child Stardust just asked Matt

11:52 Elon Musk takes control of Twitter will hate speech be normalized is Democracy over will life even be worth living. I looked at them and Replied yes, yes and no And we simply held each other in sobbed Yeah Matt Walsh's even his Twitter description there women studies he's this is all obviously a joke because he is like a Uh, Bannon War Room type guy. Now, I will say a couple of things about this gag. It's extremely well done for example he has the four-year old pan child calling him Matt not saying dad says Matt yeah i like that too which is a good bit and then he does the other one he calls the kid them because at four years old it kids been properly taught by the teachers in this country to be decided to be a them

12:53 I just thought it was a beauty so i had to put a little disclaimer on there saying this is not a serious tweet. It's satire but yeah that's...I guess some people were, did you know? That this is not true! This tweet was out of sight Was that on your list? Yeah, out of sight IS on the list. Don't worry man I think I can catch them all Now let's just talk about your sub stack for a second You're looking good This was old Silicon Valley knowledge as in length of and depth of historical knowledge of how things work.

13:32 And this was... Well, why don't you just give a synopsis because I don't know Fred Gibbons. Am I supposed to know who this is? Fred Gibbons was the very sad story he's a professor but he started He was one of the big three in the beginning of the personal computing revolution It was Bill Gates it was Mitch Kapor with Lotus and then Fred Gibbon for personal software Oh no! He's the guy who left The Beatles He's Pete Best. So Fred was the third guy in the big three that were kind of running and dominating the early days, he'd rent personal software and people are gonna look it up to see what kinda stuff they did It was very early on office kinda things And pre-Microsoft

14:20 doing it and Fred is was I think he's in his 20s or something. He was a skier avid skier had a stroke Oh on the slopes and It took years to recover from it yet they Screwed up all his as being in the business so we went off and became a He's the guy by the way, he one time I saw him at some some meeting And he made sure to corner me and to tell me, this is I think in the 90s. He says, I'm the one who invented the term information at your fingertips Bill Gates stole it from me! No, I totally believe that Oh, well I totally believe it too of course and its not the kind of thing Gates would dream up and... Gates is no a great slogan guy as far as I know

15:13 No, I've never heard one slogan. He's not a slogan guy or a joke teller no Hey to Jews walked into the bar he's not gonna do that so Gibbons is Is a great guy and he said became professor in in electronic engineering But it teaches a lot of business courses And so I had lunch with him about two or three years ago, and he says he says to me He says Elon Musk is the real deal because there's all these guys that come and go from Silicon Valley in there They're kind of lucky entrepreneurs, but he's actually a guy who is a visionary. And he thinks way... He thinks outside the box and everything you see from him is maybe... Did he ever make any money in anything or is he again the Brian Jones of this?

16:00 Did Gibbons? Yeah. Did he make any money in Silicon Valley? No, no, totally to Brian Jones. Geez as far as I know, I mean, he's not poor and he lives in the valley. He has a house in Palo Alto you've made plenty of money just sitting there right so he's okay but uh... So when he tells me that is it okay man really think much about it but then I've watched much since then with that in mind and I have to say that the reason he must have bought Twitter is for a business reason, that he's not talking about. And then I start thinking about some of the elements of Twitter where they're just throwing money away. They're not advertising properly, they're not using them user base or doing anything right there you running clickbait ads here and there and they stink! I think it's a goldmine. So the only question i have

16:49 Where does the goldmine come from? The sub-stack explains very well about how much you can glean from even a list of, a database of email. How much that some of this has been had courses continue to be used to understand your business I had a, years ago when I was doing this radio show called Software Hard Talk. I had a guy on in the 80s, it was in the 80's, guy comes from maybe early 90s. I gotta listen to their show Hard Talk from John C. Dvorak, I'm hitting hard at the software industry! Yeah, I didn't name that show. The um...I think there is maybe around 93-94 because the guys comes and he got these algorithms, got all this stuff and says here what we do

17:38 And I wished, I'd lost his card as I would tend to do. Because I've always wanted to get a hold of this guy again and see what he's up too but at the time had this company that would go into a corporation and then down...get all the email without really identifying anybody yeah right? slam through all the email messages from person to person, just everything and be able to glean out expertise based on who people wrote about what they said what they did and figure out that there are people within the company that would be good at a job they're gonna have open. That's going to be it's very special job for somebody that knows about you know U-joints or who knows what

18:26 He says most companies are filled with talent that they don't know how to tap. And he talked about how you could do this by analyzing email and I always thought this was like, besides being a breach of privacy, I always thought it was genius and that's the kind of thing that Facebook kinda does Twitter has the better opportunity. They can kick total ass if they wanted to pull a stunt like that just based on public tweets So you don't even have to raid their email to do it It's gotta be worth a million billions billions of dollars, it's just wide open for that but they're too stupid because there's Moderating and trying to protect the Democrat Party to ever take advantage of it I think you're absolutely right and And it doesn't even have to be advertising

19:17 So just a couple things we get to my kind of conclusion where I'm at right now. First of all, the unleashing of the bots and everything? I think that has another reason you know why would they necessarily do this why would they sabotage it in that manner...I think you know the deal right now is in due diligence. They have until October 24th to complete the deal. In that time period There's a breakup fee if Elon Musk pulls out for reasons other than stipulated like you know lies, lies of their user numbers could be one. I mean there's a lot of... You know how many? He probably has a million outs. If he has outs but it doesn't really matter the breakup fee is $1 billion so it would be it would be a fun thing to do

20:08 just to take them all the way to the end and melt down the entire Twitter universe for a billion dollars. If you have a lot of billions, that could be like it's a fun ticket something to weigh some money on now Twitter also has a breakup fee of $1 billion if they accept an offer from another suitor or another company and I find it odd that no one has stepped up. If the Valley knows how smart Elon Musk is, how dumb is the Valley? Where's John Doerr? You know where's Sequoia Capital although they're probably in the deal with Elon but where are all the others...where's Google or Apple or no one is interested in making an offer? I just find that odd. Google apparently in 2014

20:58 and there's some tape of it floating around, I have a copy. Offered to buy Twitter and they weren't gonna go for it. This was after... One of the guys behind Twitter is Ev Head, Evan Williams who invented blogging he- By the way, Twitter didn't start as a micro blogging platform just to correct you It started as a podcast platform Well when I listened to the lecture from Ev Head Who's not a Silicon Spinner who hated me. To join the club!

21:37 They made it sound like it was a pod, it was always a micro blogging platform. Bullshit! It was Odeo when we were at Podshow and then they never really... They did launch for about a month and then they closed it down And they took the whole infrastructure of RSS and turned into Twitter You know, and of course RSS didn't scale for them that way so thats why you had to fail whale for years And it started out only as text messaging, if you remember. You couldn't even do it online! Do you remember that? I don't remember any of that... Mmmh..I got a weird memory that way but okay micro blogging platform So as I'm looking through what could happen First of all If you don't de-platform everybody and everybody can say whatever they want I think the game kind of gets less fun

22:31 Right now it's a real game between left, right. You know black white you name it like oh let's see what I can say before I get suspended. Oh he got kicked off Twitter that's an outrage! The game kind of breaks I don't think that would be super detrimental to the entire operation. But you already heard Psaki saying, oh 230 anti-competitive, Section 230 we're going to have see what they are going do... The European Union actually will block shit they don't want You know, they're doing a lot of this already. They have that new Digital Services Act which makes it very clear that hate speech cannot even be posted and you have to have all kinds of systems to get rid of it and be able to remove it immediately. And so if it truly is Elon Musk doing the free speech say whatever you want I think the European Union maybe other countries are going to block it there's

23:29 You know, I've never really envied anybody who has to run Twitter who gets the call from the president from Zimbabwe. Like hey man people are trying to kill me! Shut that shit down or hey man this guy's no good you know maybe Macron? Hey you gotta press down on that Le Pen she getting too popular. I mean you can just imagine what the call list is like yeah but there's the other side of it too Craigslist and it's a thing about Twitter, and they're blocking is always bothered me Is that you can report Carl Reiner the number one hater on Twitter? Who'd and people I know for a fact have been reporting him left or right about calling Trump a criminal And he's still doing it by the way go to Karl Reiners feet. It's just all about Trump has always been about Trump This guy should get Ben kicked off well this is no about

24:24 And it's still about Trump. Go right now and go look, you'll see every other tweet or every tweet will be about Trump. Why is this guy on? Meanwhile people have also talked about being impersonated I know one guy personally who has got copies of him floating around Twitter he bitches and moans about it constantly nothing comes of it oh that's you! What are you saying?! I'm sorry. I was looking up Carl Reiner and somehow you slammed me, and I missed it No, he didn't slam me. I was just saying that you have like phony Adam Curry people on Twitter that

25:01 you can't get rid of. You have issues with them and they don't do anything about it. But if you were like, but Trump gets kicked off the platform and all these other things happen that are all oh geez we gotta get rid of that person I mean they have literal Nazis in terms of Black Lives Matter Nazis on the platform calling for violence and they don't do anything about it's really unbalanced So I'm thinking what so after reading your sub stack, I'm like okay. I know Elon Musk is a government shill You know everything he just launched another NASA SpaceX mission and Skylink there's so many things he works the government angles better than anyone

25:46 That's a way to put it. He works the government angle or maybe the government angle works him that's just a matter of opinion so clearly he has to have a real good reason too because also, he is leveraging his own Tesla stock against this which is fun for people who like shorting Tesla because You know, if something really goes wrong with Twitter or the perception is wrong and that something might happen to the investment leverage against Tesla or if Tesla just goes down a bit anyway he could get margin caught. I mean there's all kinds of things that could happen they would make it exciting for people who play the stock market so he has to have a good...I agree he has to have a good business reason

26:26 And when I read what you discussed with your professor friend there, like yeah that's it. That's where the value is but it's not quite there yet And I think we will see one change and one change only, which fixes everything that is wrong about Twitter. It also introduces a huge problem and Elon let this cat out of the bag when he was discussing... Actually Jack Dorsey was doing some conference, I have no idea it might have been at Twitter conference The audio is understandable but you kind of listen to it for about a minute Dorsey says, what can we do when he was still this is a while ago. What can Twitter do to make Twitter better? And then Elon has an answer which I think holds the future and the key to what will see from Twitter. Give us some direct feedback critique. What are we doing poorly? What could be doing better

27:22 And what's your hope for our potential as a service? If you're running Twitter, by the way do you want to run Twitter? What would you do? I think it would be helpful to differentiate between real and... Is this a real... Not just verified text but is this a real person? Can you even hear what he's saying?! No, I can't understand a word he's saying. What he...I could kind of understand Dorsey what would you do? Would you want to run Twitter as well? So what he says is the problem is you can't really see what his real opinion uh...what is bots or what is a troll farm going after something to shape opinion so we keeps coming back to

28:07 It would be really interesting to use Twitter to understand what people really are thinking, what the mood is of the country or world of a group. And then it hit me! It's so simple and Twitter should have done... well it's probably time for Twitter to do this We are going to go to a Twitter which will be, I think pretty much open for you to say whatever you want within some obvious constitutional for the US and maybe other countries have issues how they want to deal with some things but slander is still a thing. There's tort laws that are in place so we can kind of let everyone say what they want but

28:45 Every single account will be verified with identification and authentication. It will be impossible... Yeah, actually Musk somewhere along the lines in the last few weeks has mentioned this exact same thing That's exactly what was on this recording And that's... Make sure everyone has to be real Not just real Verified Authenticated We have identification from you and I think it would great for Twitter then also To have the universal authentication for everything. Eyeball it! But forget how it's done, for your COVID passport or your regular passport... It could be the Twitter authenticator. That's one way of getting the government in? Well of course that's why it's not going to be a problem. The governments will love that and you'll have a spec- we're not gonna give it to the government, we're gonna sell it to the government

29:37 And we can sell opinion, so you can really see what people think. If you remove all of the bots if you move all of the advertising All of the bull crap that's on Twitter and it's actual people and you know It's people and now we kind of see how genius that the blue checkmark idea was Well its gonna be perfect. It will be The next It will be another piece of the puzzle that Musk is fitting together with Skylink, you know. The global tracking system and everyone will... I think everyone will go oh yeah cool well Twitter we could say whatever you want to do just have to give me your driver's license! What do you think?

30:18 I liked it as a thesis. I think you got a good one there, it could happen. I mean, I think its ambitious...I think the fact that even the checkmark never really worked out when you had- No but the checkmark was elitist! That was the problem. That's what Twitter was so stupid about. It also had fictional names with getting a check mark. Of course! Bull crap with the checkmarks. Its just ridiculous, so..I don't know Well this is exactly why we're going to have to uh... I think that everybody, if Elon Musk says okay here you go it's open season say whatever you want within the obvious guidelines of your country or whatever it is. Say do as you wish he might even adjust the algorithm because the algorithm doesn't really matter at that point as long as people keep talking he doesn't have to sell anything He just wants to know what people think he wants to know well let me see all these people have Sir or Dame in their handle okay let's see well this seems to be some kind of cult This is a cult lets see what they're thinking yeah

31:17 So in that regard, it's genius and of course that will ruin Twitter because I'm not gonna authenticate myself on Twitter. I'm not gonna do it Are you gonna do it? Probably not now any reason why I'd want to except for promoting the show Yeah Now I will say this Mimi had a good another idea than the third angle what if must comes in and just I think this, in fact, I think companies should be people should be doing this. I've always felt this way about OS2 for example. My favorite OS! Come in take the code base and turn it open source and just let it out there This is exactly what Jack Dorsey has been saying as a protocol he feels Twitter is fantastic and very valuable that's all Elon needs to do here's the protocol by the way

32:09 Excuse me, you should be able to set up different versions of Twitter with the protocol. Once it's just a protocol it doesn't matter The only caveat will be that you have to be a real person You'll be identified and authenticated And the world... I mean that's the grid! It's the final piece and that will ruin Twitter but it will complete Elon's mission This guy's fantastic. I mean, I gotta hand it to him! Gotta hand it to him. SkyNet? Of course its SkyNet His thing is called SkyLink and now we can connect everybody to it So now we know exactly who's walking there not just Twitter user JoeBlow359 No John C Dvorak right there posting tweeting about the show Let see what that show is He's still there Where he going? He's not going anywhere staying right here

33:02 Okay, bring in the black chopper. He seems to be saying this same spot for weeks. He doesn't he doesn't move this location Except there's some building what is that hmm post office? I wonder what this guy is doing. This is very suspicious That makes sense. And that's also the reason why no one else jumps in, they all know! It's like okay this is a government deal The government is going to get everything they want while being bitches towards Elon while this is setting up and they're gonna have kind of controlled opposition Oh so horrible free speech oh no can't do it Meanwhile governments of the world will love this Love it

33:46 Of course we will continue to build out Mastodon. There was quite an increase in the Fediverse Mastodon users, more users coming online which is fantastic because it's all complete lefties And there's quite a mix of left, right all kinds of different people on the Fediverse. The Fediverse is in fact that a bit of what Twitter could be except the Twitter having it all verified everybody really you know You'll know that this is not about this is not an exercise This is the real deal It's in that regard just brilliant okay so that's it everybody Send your driver's license to Elon What could possibly go wrong?

34:34 That's the way you describe it as a downer. Let's move to Ukraine. I saw you've got quite a sequence, so I'll set you up overnight a drastic move Russia cutting all gas deliveries to Bulgaria and Poland two NATO members This comes after Putin's ultimatum last month demanding that quote unfriendly nations pay for gas in Russian rubles Poland's Prime Minister not backing down Saying we will be able to protect our economy protect our households and polls against such a dramatic step by Russia Yep. Yeah, this is a fun one Yeah, I have a series on the Russia Poland Bulgaria deal and which brings in the pipeline. My favorite usually I do these segments but you've jumped into my lane. This pipeline is coming in from Norway and they're passing it off as though its going to be online and ready to go any second Wait a minute are talking about Nord Stream 2 now? No, no we're talking about The Norway Pipeline

35:38 And they talk about it in here some detail, but it won't be online till they say late this year and you know... You and I both have been... Well, you started the whole pipeline thing. These things are always off. They're never on the timeline. They always fall behind when we were... That's not true! Not always? Are you sure that this isn't a Which pipeline is this? I need to know. It's discussed in the... it says it's a pipeline from Norway. Ah, okay. Norway to Poland! Okay, I see yes

36:16 We begin the day with Russia starting to squeeze the flow of Europe's energy supplies. The Russian state-controlled energy company Gazprom says it has suspended natural gas deliveries to Poland and Bulgaria because neither country complied with a Kremlin demand to start paying their bills in roubles. The European Union says Russia is attempting blackmail With Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promising an end to European dependence on Russian fossil fuels. Russia's latest move in the conflict goes beyond the battlefield in Ukraine to the gas pipelines into Europe. In what has been seen as an aggressive move, Russia has cut the gas supply to Poland and Bulgaria Russian energy giant Gazprom said it had turned off the gas tap to the two EU and NATO members after not receiving payment in rubles The Kremlin demanded that bills be paid in its own currency As a response to international sanctions which left it unable to utilize foreign currency and its own reserves

37:15 Those immediately affected were quick to respond. The Polish Prime Minister declared his country was energy safe, having built up reserves and implied that Poland's preparations including an alternative Baltic pipeline might help the EU wean itself off Russian energy. Yeah in fact this one is called the Baltic pipe. I don't see the you know if Russia's giving them gas and oil, and they can't pay Russia in the normal... In rubles. ...the normal fashion because they've been cut off And Russia says okay well if you want the gas and all you're gonna have to pay us in rubles How does that blackmail? Well it depends on- We just wanna get paid I'm over here You owe me money Hey Adam, you owe me money Yeah Send me some PayPal money Oh! I can't use PayPal anymore because my PayPal account has been shut down YOU'RE BLACKMAILING ME

38:09 Well then you're gonna have to send me a check. Yep, blackmail How's that blackmail? I just want to get paid! That's it period I have heard... OK, but we're going to keep on this because this is the theme. This is from Deutsche Welle and you know they're not too happy. I have heard... Here we go part two. Let me remind you that we have interconnectors to Germany and the Czech Republic as well as our gas terminal in Świnouczi which can receive even larger amounts of liquefied gas so we will try to rise to the occasion in this difficult time Bulgaria, a country almost totally reliant on Russia's gas looked to the EU for solidarity and security. I spoke with Ursula von der Leyen who said that a unilateral breach of the agreement between Gazprom and Bulgaria is not just a problem for Bulgaria this is a problem for the whole of the EU and the response will be united His hopes were echoed in a strongly worded tweet

39:11 from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. By the way, I have heard that traders have found many ways around the conversion to rubles they're doing it through certain derivatives so the purchasing does especially Italy is full of crap they just did buying it through all kinds of ways but just an aside the problem remains I stopped it there because there was a little ditty at the end that i just thought was priceless. Well you talked over the little diddy! I didn't say anything Oh, I thought that was you let me hear in then His hopes were echoed in a strongly worded tweet from EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen Yes strongly worded tweets? A strongly... oh hey

40:04 If you don't stop it, I'm gonna write a strongly worded tweet. What's this strongly worded tweet? Is this the modern version of what in a strongly worded tweet come on Well, what was that? What was the tweet? It's like a bunch of children! I'd like to know what the tweet was. Strongly worded clearly but okay Alright, that's supposedly this gas comes from Norway. Is that how it works because they had no one always a major They got lots of gas. Okay, they get plenty go Norway

40:42 Yeah, they're taking advantage of the situation. Onward! Gazprom's announcement is another attempt by Russia to blackmail us with gas. We are prepared for this scenario we are mapping out our coordinated EU response Europeans can trust that we stand united and in solidarity with the member states impacted British Foreign Minister Liz Truss called on all of Europe to cut off Russian energy imports a plan that is in the pipeline although Russia might try to preempt that move It has just stated that it might halt the gas to other EU countries. Let's explore this with Dr Benjamin L Schmitt, he is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and also served as European Energy Security Advisor to the US State Department Welcome to DW Why do you think Russia started with Poland and Bulgaria? That is very good question maybe starting with Germany would be too obvious

41:39 So they bring this guy and I'm not a fan of this guy, he's kind of full of crap. He is a hack from Obama. It goes way back and it was like his astrophysicist that somehow got into energy policy all those sort of things does happen. And he is wearing a hoodie and he is big fat guy He says a few things in here that are questionable, but I think he's reflecting Biden policy. But at the end of these clips you'll hear one specific thing that I think negates everything he says, but we can start listening. Why do you think Russia started with Poland and Bulgaria? Well it's a great question... I think that in part they're able to go after Poland because they've in particular cast Poland as an unfriendly country for the Russian Federation this is obviously not true

42:35 this is something that from a public perception in the Russian Federation domestically standpoint, that I think is part of that decision. It's really going to backfire and I'll tell you why Poland of all countries in the EU is one of forward-looking over the past decade, but especially over the past seven or eight years on building up diversification infrastructure. Remember back in 2015 the European Union built up its energy union policy framework where you were basically looking at the EU building out diversification infrastructure to reduce its

43:11 physical infrastructure and volumetric hydrocarbon reliance on Russian energy resources, but also build up. Wow. Hold on a second I want to hear him say that again. Volumetric bullshit by the way as you know Since the during our show they the Russians like killed off the entire Polish government some years back with that airplane thing. Oh, yeah That was great and then they had a bunch of guys out there shooting the guys in their head This one alive get him. Yeah No no Russians and Polish they're good pals

43:48 Buddy, buddy, buddy. I want to hear that sequence of words again. You building out diversification infrastructure to reduce its physical infrastructure and volumetric hydrocarbon reliance on Russian energy resources but also... Wait a minute! Volumetric high so what he's saying is the large amount of shit they need from Russia? Is that is that what you say? Volumetric hydrocarbon reliance on Russia In other words, they need the Russian gas. But no that's not... That's so cool. ...infrastructure to reduce its physical infrastructure and volumetric hydrocarbon reliance on Russian energy resources but also build out its regulatory models to push back on Russian in particular gas promise monopolistic practices in the market So what did Poland do in response? It went out and built the Baltic pipe

44:41 That's going to come online later this year from Norway to Denmark, Poland. To bring natural gas for the first time from the North Sea directly to Central and Eastern Europe it has expanded its capacity at the Swinoujstv terminal on the German-Polish border and it is looking to do other things. It has built up a connector with Lithuania and is also looking to build out a Gdańsk terminal. So Russia might well have picked the wrong target? Man, so how was Russia anti-competitive? Were they holding a gun to... well I guess they were holding a gun to Poland's head back in the day when they killed a whole half of the government. But how is it anti-competitive if they don't let anyone else sell gas or is this not a lot of people have gas? How come Norway hasn't done this long time ago? They probably wanted too but Russia has their very competitive. They keep prices low

45:36 They have these comes pouring in every competitive yes but not anti-competitive that was the accusation I don't see any evidence of that either no they're giving a 25% discount to India right now yeah That's just racist. There is nothing to do with competition. I think there is a lot of this being, it's very poor analysis but anyway the real kicker comes in the next clip. Explain to us if you can some of Russia thinking because of course he's under heavy financial sanctions because of this war so turning off the taps to Poland and Bulgaria one presumes robs the Kremlin have much-needed hard currency What were they thinking?

46:34 through Ukraine, through other conduits on numerous occasions. And this is just the latest in that what they're trying to do is two things number one they are desperate to increase the value of the ruble. The rubles value has plummeted since international sanctions. Yeah no it's rebounded quite nicely okay now this was from yesterday really? It's from yesterday. So if this guy and the ruble recovered within, I don't know less than a week and it said higher levels than it was before the invasion... Now it's not back to 2014 levels when it definitely got weaker after the Maidan invasion but its back to those levels is back to 2014 levels

47:22 So this guy, this is from yesterday. So if this guy's the big expert that DW is going to have on the show and he doesn't know that one simple thing and makes this claim that's not true, it's a lie either knows it and he's lying Or he doesn't know it which means why are we listening to him? Which is the way I ended up approaching it and that I stopped it That was the last of these clips. He goes on with some other analysis. Now, I don't believe a word of it Yeah, nor can you. But I'm glad we listened to five clips that now you just told us was all bullshit! Thanks good to know. Well ya know...I had the volumetric requirements or whatever they were. Volumetric hydrocarbon requirements okay your gas tank is empty

48:12 I do have a couple of clips. There's some concern in the European Union, you know, Bulgaria and Poland now who is next? What's it going to cost what's that was the fallout gonna be this is a major... oil futures trader. This is a major shot across the bow and I think he picked the low-hanging fruit initially by targeting Poland and Bulgaria because they're not going to impact the entire pipeline system under Europe, but their concern now is that they cut off a larger country that if they cut off Germany for example the entire continent is gonna see reduced gas flows

48:52 And because of that, they're going to have to use other fuels to keep the lights on. That means diesel fuel and oil. Right now the world doesn't have enough of this. We've already seen a major impact here in the United States because of Vladimir Putin's actions. We've seen natural gas prices surge but really where we saw it hit hardest was a record-breaking rally in diesel fuel In New York Harbor, where we price most of our diesel for the country. We hit an all-time record high because of this at $4.75. That is the equivalent in the real world of about 200 dollar a barrel crude oil and that means truckers across America are going to see record high diesel prices And it could get worse if Putin decides to go any further

49:45 Putin. It's Pudin now! Used to be Putin... It's Putin's fault. No, it's Pu-in not Pudin You replace the T with a D. Pudin. Pudins fault. Pudins fault. Hmm I think that the war in Ukraine was used very effectively in the French election, and I would expect this to continue In the US midterm election now that State Department is asking Congress for aid for Ukraine for the next five months Five months but it's you don't even need the aid for Ukraine. You just say hey Democrat Democrat candidate

50:26 You're for Ukraine? Republican, clearly Russia. Emmanuel Macron has been re-elected as president of France defeating far right challenger Marine Le Pen It's viewed as a sign of continued support for Ukraine after Le Pen spoke out against economic sanctions on Russia She is known for anti NATO and anti immigration policies Macron won 59% to 41%, but analysts say the election results show the far right is now mainstream in France Yeah, baby. So I think that'll be used here quite effectively. You know it's like... Oh you don't... I agree and don't agree. I agree that it will be used here quite effectively by this crowd? I think not! Okay, It should be used effectively but yeah this crowd good point good point. So President Biden is asking Congress for new powers

51:20 Well, before we leave that area I do want to play the Moldova stuff. Oh sure well this is still about Ukraine but yes you got Moldova for sure. Moldova is in the crosshairs according to at least the way European media sees it. We're not talking about that in this country yet I think we're holding back because i think there's some...we can instigate something that may do more for the midterms If we get another country to feel bad for? We get some Moldova juice in there? Well, and I think the Moldovians, the woman who runs that country, cause watching her speak she looks like

52:01 She just has this look on her face like, hey we need some love too. You know you're sending all this stuff over to Ukraine and they're gonna just tranship it to the Middle East who knows what they can do with all those... They got more Stinger missiles in fact a Stinger... Do you know that the Stinger missile hasn't been made since for 20 years? Yeah 18 years I do know that yeah of course! That's why you want to give them away And so they giving him away and they're gonna end up in the Middle East or someplace else They gonna make some good... They gonna make some bank as the bank. They make a bank on moving these missiles out of there and Moldova could use some cash. Now, Moldova is I believe directly in the pipeline trajectory that comes from Ukraine? It's down at the bottom left. No it's to the left. Bottom left! It's just north east of Odessa

52:58 which is the north northwest northwest of Odessa. Northwest, you're right sorry northwest of Odessa it's east of Romania north Bulgaria so I think i'm going to check it out I think they have...I think that the pipeline goes through Moldova It wouldn't surprise me if it plowed right through there but let's listen to what's gonna happen there because it turns out there's a small strip of land Very small strip of land reminding me of a Woody Allen movie where the guy holds up a little piece of land in his hand. I have a small piece of land... that's on the east coast of Moldova, that's butted up against Ukraine and a bunch of Russians are there and they've been there forever. And they don't seem to want to leave. It's just like either a bad penny or the neighbor who comes in to stay overnight and stays for a month. So this situation is becoming an issue

53:51 I think that we, the United States can turn this into something big. That we can use to leverage our voters for the upcoming elections let's play these clips. There are growing fears of a war in Ukraine could spill over into neighboring countries The UN has called for calm and Moldova which opened its door to Ukraine after a series of explosions targeted radio masts used to broadcast Russian programs in the breakaway territory Transnistria. Around 1,500 Russian troops are already based in the region which has been controlled by separatists since a war with Moldova about 30 years ago

54:26 So here's a look at what has been raising tensions there for the last few days. Thank you Stuck in their Soviet past, but still marching in step with Moscow The army of Transnistria on parade Soldiers in the service of a breakaway state unrecognized by the world Russian troops are also here They supported separatists forces after the region broke away from Moldova A ceasefire ended fighting in 1992, but the conflict was never truly resolved and Russian forces never left. Long seen as an anomaly on the map of Europe, Transnistria could soon be pulled into Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine

55:14 Transnistria is sandwiched between Moldova and Ukraine. Keefe believes Russia plans to capture the port city of Odessa, then drive to the border opening a corridor to the breakaway region and linking up with its troops there The region is politically and economically dependent on Russia A majority of those living here are Russian speakers like in eastern Ukraine Keefe has long feared that Russia could intervene here too It cannot be ruled out that the armed forces of the Russian Federation could carry out provocative actions in the Transnistria region, or the Republic of Moldova so that they can accuse Ukraine of aggression against a neighboring state. Oh man I'd forgotten all about Transnistria!

56:04 This is like a little strip of land. It's nothing! It's... it's... It's a joke and they have these soldiers marching around like a bunch of idiots wearing old costumes from the 1918 era I mean, the whole thing is a joke-it's like a Peter Sellers movie this little area. It's kind of like a big Civil War reenactment Exactly. And they're trying to make hay with this, and it's like... Well we do have a quarter of the population are Ukrainians Of course 30% are Russians but oh yeah how many people live there? In Moldova as a whole or just in the rest of the area? No no Transnistria! Just in Transnistria! Screw Moldova! Transnistria is the hot place It can't be more than 50 thousand people

56:54 No, no, no. Yo! 347 thousand. Well it's bigger than Iceland. Yeah well all right. This is good. This is not being covered yet in this country we're gonna get...this is gonna happen you watch. And it's also fun to say transnista you know, that fits in with our current narrative. Oh it's a trans! It is a trans story. Yes, you see? Ah the trans... Okay well let's go to part two of this. All the people there are called they. Moldova has opened its doors to those fleeing the war in Ukraine but it too fears becoming a victim of the conflict Part of the country is already under Kremlin control and its leaders want to avoid repeat events in eastern Ukraine where separatist forces appealed to Moscow for help

57:45 The troops of the Russian Federation have been illegally stationed on the territory of our country for decades. That makes us vulnerable, we cannot feel safe in the region especially after witnessing the war in Ukraine." Much depends on whether Putin's forces can make inroads in southern Ukraine if so Transnistria a state that doesn't formally exist could become the new focus of Russia and for West Now I'm confused. Is it trans Nistria or trans? Nistra, or you just kind of swallow the eye there What do you how does this don't I just trans Trenton so just to make it easy trans land no trans land idea is land trans land John

58:36 Transland, the idea is that if you look at the map people should look at the map and see where this place is. It's like a little edge it's the edge of Eastern Moldova and they think that Russia will take Odessa I don't think so and then they're gonna sneak up and grab onto this chunk So their going to have kind of U shaped attachment to Russia Its not now but there gonna I think we're gonna try to make that happen. I think our State Department would love to because one of the, they didn't talk about this in our news but one of the shots they had a woman talking and then they did a pull back and boom there's Blinken he's there with her Oh really? In Moldova? Then it's on deck yeah of course It's on deck Great catch Yeah there's tons of pipelines going through there all from Russia several through Ukraine

59:37 Yeah, people don't realize. But okay cut it all off can't wait to see how it gets in the winter nice and cold So as a part of this we continue to de-platform Russia as much as we can and President Biden or whoever is pulling the strings has Will be proposing a comprehensive legislative package that will enhance the United States government's authority to hold the Russian government and Russian oligarchs accountable, accountable for President Putin's war against Ukraine. Now I of course have not seen any legislation yet but the question is always it will be specifically for Russians or just be for any old oligarch or anybody that the government deems no good? The measures would result in the forfeiture property linked to Russian kleptocracy

1:00:29 Allowing the US government to use the proceeds to support Ukraine. So this is cool Yeah, we're still the money from one bunch of criminals and give it to Peter give it to Paul Under the proposal authorities would be able to impound property in the u.s Owned by sanctioned Russian oligarchs and have a connection to... How is this legal? Specified, well. And that have a connection to specified unlawful conduct Biden wants to make to criminalize any person to knowingly or intentionally possess proceeds directly obtained from corrupt dealings with the Russian government Well shit man! That could be at PayPal for us

1:01:18 I mean anybody who has... Russia, PayPal's cut off Russia so I wouldn't worry about that. I know but someone else could be a straw man you see? Straw man! Yes straw man, he could be a straw man for Russia for Putin. Putin? Yeah this is none of this is good No, it's not good. It could take the money from anyone. They can just flip a switch and next thing you know they're stealing everybody's money which is what they're trying to do anyway When the White House was asked they could not yet explain what would be determined to define corrupt

1:01:55 So which is also kind of an open term. Yeah, good luck! What about Hunter Biden? Is anything involving him I don't know by the way... That's whataboutism John that's whataboutism false equivalency. I want to go back to what you said okay which is you said whoever's running the place who is so we have to come up with some theories here my thinking is the following The National Security Council which has become You know started off as a small, you know two or three people has become a large bureaucracy I think there's like 300 people in it. It's like it's got its own its got his own offices He's got a bunch of people in there and they're all deep state And they're and Jake Tapper or Jake Tapper Jake Sullivan is the guy running it but he's like a dork and I don't think he's running at it in any real way because They went to Saudi Arabia

1:02:48 got kicked out, he got into a shouting match supposedly with the prince there because he brought up something about Khashoggi which wasn't gonna fly and so they guy got ousted. So he's just a bonehead and you watch him it's like a robot with a funny shaped head I think its very obvious who is running Biden It's Obama. Now I'm not saying Obama is the brains behind the operation, but he... Did you not see him with Kamala Harris walking through? totally ignoring, roaming around by himself like an idiot. I think we talked about that after the show it was worse...I didn't realize because I think we're talking about after the last show that so yeah it's the White House reception and Obama is hanging out with Kamala talking everybody and Joe Biden is behind him puts his hand on his shoulder and holds it there kind of like hey Barack Barack

1:03:44 Daddy, daddy, daddy. And he's being ignored. Totally ignored. Obama doesn't even look at him sees out of his peripheral vision that it's Biden and just ignores him turns right back That said everything Obama is... Come on Jen Psaki Oh I love coming to work and working for President Obama every day Yeah truth wants to come out you know could be just a flub I don't think so He's running it Now is he being run by the same people that ran him previously? intelligence, most likely CIA. I'm pretty sure. No, I think it's the National Security Council. It's the same people! Just deep state, whatever. They all switch jobs but who...I want to know who did we have people that in these operations that listen to this show? Yeah. I'd like to know- I want a name there's got to be one guy that's a dominant character that really calls the shots. Who is it

1:04:38 I don't think it's Obama. It's Soros! I think Obama is a good front man, and Obama is definitely their top honcho representative No no no because he's not out and about typically He is the representative internally And people you know they're oh my god its the third term So yeah Obama wasn't making decisions when he was president Most presidents dont Trump was an anomaly. Actors! Yeah, Trump that's what they had to get rid of him They can't have the president thinking and acting for himself. Being a president? That's no good So it could be Pelosi for all I know It could be... All kinds of people could be in this We know it's not Pelosi No we don't know it's not Pelosi We just don't. We don't know anything And its either much more sinister

1:05:28 Some banking family it's possible or you know, it's open society Institute. You know I doubt Soros is going to be asking people there someone that must know Mm-hmm that can just throw a name at us and say here's this guy It's some kid you know Fred schmuck. I mean did we go who never heard of this guy exactly? You'll never hear of him either it you know Vindman someone like that is I Love I love speaking of Pelosi she so smart she knows how to do this stuff yeah, even though the old old cow

1:06:07 She's gonna have the Ukrainian ambassador unveil a photo exhibit of the Russian invasion at the Capitol. So another PR moment, we can show the horrible Putin and you know that gets tons of ink and coverage just by the media but yeah public doesn't care I think they're all in on the idea of helping Ukraine but that's about it You know, okay we'll help them. I don't think that's going to affect the vote and because the real kicker and everyone talks about it they've talked about it forever It's the price of gasoline! That's all...it's the inflation. That's what gets you voted out. I agree but they're doing what they can and uh it's not like the news is focusing on anything else so the programming is still very strong but yeah I agree then it probably is too little too late and it's all the wrong stuff

1:07:01 So we have yet another package being put together. So I've lost count, but are we had 800 million? Now I believe another 700 million and... We're just throwing money at them in the potholes that are not being fixed in this country. You know Christina came back from New York with us to stay here for a few days until she goes back to Holland. Yeah! That's ginchy. She hadn't been- what?! Hey, if it's unrecognizable to me I'm just gonna consider it from the 70s so you know take a chill pill man. And I don't get a bell for that? I don't have my... I'm not near the bell here! There ya go! Come on! I got all of them! I was leaning back in the shades. Oh there you go

1:07:50 And she says that in the Netherlands people are pissed because, you know of course they have refugees coming in immediately. You cannot get a house in Holland! There's an incredible housing shortage students That's been a problem for 30 years now this is they can't even go to school They cannot get a place to stay but miraculously the perception Is that the refugees are taken care of and it's pissing people off. The same way you know sending all this money in aid or aide more than money to Ukraine is pissing off people about the border and inflation, all the issues that we see... the simple questions there were the simple gripes. I gotta throw this in since you brought that in mm-hmm There's a lot of stories I don't have any clips but there's a bunch of news stories about how Afghani refugees

1:08:44 are being kicked out and Ukraine refugees are being moved in, it's causing all kinds of problems. And this is where? In Europe or here? In Europe and here too! In fact a lot of Afghanis they gave them like two thousand bucks total or a thousand something very low money then they gave him the place that can't pay rent now and they're booting him out left to right this is going to be a huge problem we're gonna have buncha murders crazy things happening with these Afghani refugees who've failed to learn English. I mean, it's a nightmare on almost ready to happen, it's gonna happen. Oh this is all part of the great reset I don't have to tell you. The Great Bullet Reset? Well yeah, you have to break something before you can reset it has to clearly be stuck. Well they've done a good job at that. The BBC did an event speaking of good job the BBC did a good job very short explaining where this money is going to and if course it corroborates completely with our thesis. An extra military assistance as well 700 million dollars of that

1:09:46 What do you think they're going to get? What are they asking for?" 300 million of that is going to the Ukrainians directly. That's for them to spend on whatever they think is required and the other 400 million is going to other NATO members so basically it's going to people who've got, to neighbouring countries many of whom have old Soviet equipment that the Ukrainians already use It's basically to allow them to donate that Ukraine and then buy new equipment themselves So we're funding NATO so NATO gives all their crap to Ukraine and buys new stuff from us! It's fantastic. It's really, really good. How come we're not in any of these schemes? Pisses me off. We were having fun reporting on the schemes...

1:10:39 So just about France, you know the Ukraine war was used there as some talking points for Macron's victory. A lot of video evidence I've seen of the French ballots...I don't know if you caught any of this? No none! The way the French ballots show up at home it's in a sealed bag little almost like one of those plastic bags that is made out of aluminum balloons You have to pull it apart and it's completely sealed And in there is two pieces of paper about index card side. One says Macron, one says Le Pen and the Le Pen one is ripped at the bottom and there's this video people opening up ballot bag after ballot bag and every single Le Pen ballot is ripped has like a cut or rip on one side of it which from what I understand invalidates the ballot could be true don't know

1:11:32 Well, I'm sure there's some hanky-panky going on. There are all these elections in these democratic countries... Yes that's how democracy works! Actually in a funny way it is true. It just works who can jack the ballots better? That's always what it's about. You either do that or you don't On the heels of the election results there was a deliberate sabotage, multiple fiber cuts across France, physical cable cuts multiple locations. It cut off and I believe it may still have cut off large portions of networks that deliver the internet to France Yeah this is part of the you know the 10 days of darkness. Those are two listeners The ten days of darkness You know remember this is part of what we were promised with Trump where the power would go out Internet would be shut off and then all of a sudden were reborn

1:12:32 I mean everything's good again. But people cutting fiber is definitely a problem because the internet is used for more than just Twitter, you know important things like the show but also health finance all kinds of things run through it, commerce bad actors, bad actors afoot. Well I'm surprised this hasn't happened more often to be honest about it right after me like fiber in this country fiber in the rural areas is clearly marked We have it up in Port Angeles. You drive around and where the fiber is, there's a bunch of sticks that come orange colored things and they're telling you this fiber there so don't dig around they're just like to warn you from excavating I've seen the photos this is not someone putting a backhoe into a fiber no this is an actual...and then he didn't just cut it they cut it in two places so they remove the piece

1:13:29 Yeah, that's what I'm saying is that it's you can find the fiber if you wanted to pull that stuff. Yes, yeah It's not that easy right? Yeah, it's not that hard to do And cutting out a piece so that's kind of as chicken shit because you maybe cuz now That means you got to do double splicing. You get to slice the one and another Just ties just extra time extra time Well, let's just continue with our great reset stories while we're at it So we get that done with right after Macron won the election, France immediately announces a digital ID passport not for COVID but digital identity that they had tabled.

1:14:13 Several months ago like yeah, I'm not gonna do that now and boom it's back on and they are there now spearheading with all of the UK EU An international facial recognition system which fits right into this and This is weren't you writing something or researching about digital ID? Did you give up on either? No. I never I don't give up on anything hmm I'm still working on the vinegar book for God's sake. Actually Wired has a story about it, Europe is building a huge international facial recognition system. Yes surprise! But France just like boom we're back in it's good to go they're gonna link this to DNA and... I've been telling Christina I said I don't know what your plan is but you better move out of there out of the EU before I have to do an extraction

1:15:02 It's gonna suck. It's much harder probably should leave yeah, but she has to it's horrible That's all going to shit and it's always Europe where the wars take place Yeah And it's always France in Germany Europe is a moment of peace which you know I think this 60s perhaps 70s I mean it's great But it's good for some as jinxed. I don't know what it is It goes back too far historically to figure out exactly what the mechanism is that causes it to go to crap every so often. Money, money and maybe money? I mean it's always about money. Yeah money has got something to do with it. Don't think I had much... Oh yes other than a disturbing trend from Mastercard. Mastercard is a big partner of the World Economic Forum they are doing

1:15:59 carbon credit card so you can track your carbon based upon your purchases and I believe you can set levels yourself to stop yourself from purchasing something once you've reached your self-imposed carbon limit, which will be self imposed first before it's government imposed. And here is the internal communication we're linking employee compensation to ESG sustainability goals And here's what they say. Hello, employees! Last year we introduced a new compensation model for our executives at the executive vice president level and above Their bonus was determined in part by the company's performance on three environmental social and corporate governance priorities carbon neutrality financial inclusion and gender pay parity Because of their work in yours We either met or exceeded our goals which is kind of a bullshit thing to say did you meet it or not?

1:16:58 So this is how it will work. You as an employee will be compensated, your compensation will be determined by how well you did in these areas in your regular job This is where you go... I'm looking for another job Yeah We lose good people with these kind of policies Yeah we'll see once you mandate this stuff It's kinda de facto man every company has this now Every company is going to require its employees to I mean it flows all the way through the ESG Starts with your employees, but also your customers and you're going have to turn customers away. Yeah, I'm really sorry We can't have you as a customer You're not ESG friendly don't like you and every single employee will be caught woke get out every every employee becomes part of the ESG score of the entire corporation

1:17:59 So you will be penalized for, you know, for throwing a rapper on the ground as an example. It's extreme. Extreme but I like the image. I have a few more clips from this discussion...for this discussion Okay! I want to get these out of the way that one of them is is the fact that now the EU hates Hungary Yes, of course Orban or because he likes Tucker Carlson so everybody hates Orban Yeah, yeah Orban. He got just re-elected and they rolled their eyes and said this guy's getting on our nerves And so here is the latest on that The European Union has initiated a never before used procedure against member nation Hungary over alleged violations of the rule of law It could see EU funding for the Eastern European country cut and comes just over three weeks after Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's reelection

1:18:58 Now, I didn't quite understand what the issue was. They're cutting them off from a lot of the EU funding that they normally give them. They give them free money like we do! We'd do that with all our states. The United States government gives... But under what legal pretext are they doing this? Aren't they a full-fledged member?! He mentioned it was something obscure, some obscure... The European Union has initiated a never before used procedure against member nation Hungary over alleged violations of the rule of law. It could see EU funding for the Eastern European country cut and comes just over three weeks after Prime Minister Viktor Orban's re-election. This feels very incomplete to me I need to understand this... I'm not gonna argue that

1:19:44 It's very incomplete. I'm gonna try to look, find out the whole story. It's not going to be reported here so I have to dig around in the European sources. Here is another one this is one that from NPR that I clipped it behind and kept it around this or something. If you listen to this report, these sanctions are not to accomplish anything. They're just to punish. Oh yeah it's not like its going to teach anybody anything other than pain No its not gonna change anything so it is pointless but makes us feel good because we can punish Do sanctions work? That is a question worth asking as US and other western nations keep hammering Russia with economic sanctions

1:20:30 If the war in Ukraine drags on for months or even years, how many more sanctions can the West impose? And what is the end game? Emma Ashford is an expert on foreign policy at the Atlantic Council. And she joins me now to talk about this welcome to all things considered great to be here Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday the new sanction did quote achieve certain results So how have sanctions impacted Russia's economy? So far the sanctions that we've put on Russia's economy have caused the ruble to go into decline. I think up to 600 multinational corporations have left Russia and so the Russian economy is suffering

1:21:08 from sanctions. What we don't know yet is the extent of that suffering and whether or not it will translate into any actual policy change? Well, first how are these sanctions harming ordinary Russians who have nothing to do with the war? I mean, I've spoken to people in Russia who say it's hard to travel abroad now. It's hard to even access foreign-made medicines inflation as high so how do these sanctions affect the ordinary person In theory, targeted financial sanctions are meant to hit a government and not the people within a country. But in practice that's very difficult to do what we actually see in much of the studies that have been done on sanctions is that leaders particularly an authoritarian states are very good at insulating themselves from the effects of sanctions certainly Vladimir Putin himself has been sanctioned but people around him have all been but

1:22:00 that doesn't necessarily mean that their lifestyles at home are going to suffer. They may be able to pass some of that burden on to other people inside Russia and so this again is one of those big problems and unfortunately the history of sanctions suggests that we're good at causing the economic pain, were not good at getting policy changes out of it I have a while we were playing in listening to that clip I understand the rule-of-law mechanism which is what the European Union is using against Hungary. This was only approved about a year ago, right in time it was created by the European Union as a tool to withhold funds from member states that breached the rule of law for example curtailing judicial independence or eroding the separation of powers In Hungary's case according to the accusations

1:22:50 I'm reading here from Deutsche Welle, Hungary a large recipient of EU funds has come under increasing criticism over the past few years for veering away from democratic norms with policies such as exerting excessive control over the judiciary stifling media freedom and denying the rights of LGBT people. So it's pretty vague how they're using this, but they can remove up to 55% all money that they get from the EU to a country or state. But 55%, I think is what they're aiming at so it's not always vague bull crap EU things like we don't you know just like we don't like how you play the game

1:23:37 It's funny because those same things about stifling free speech and fooling around the judiciary in particular. Yeah, it's pretty much what Ukraine does! Yeah just throwing money at them Well they're not a member then they don't have to play nice They're not a member of the EU so they get to do whatever they want that's kind of nuts It's very nuts. Now I have two more clips, but I can push these off. No no let's do your two more clips and then we'll hit a break. There is this show like the BBC's Hardball where they ask these questions that get you to get the person as the interviewer he asks me is mean

1:24:18 Oh yeah, well if you say that blah blah blah they get there's just a mean kind of interview show which the Europeans have more of these than we. We have none of these shows anymore. Andy... what's the name? Andrew I saw this guy recently okay forget about it yes i know exactly what you mean like a one-on-one and then just spit questions at ya. Yeah but then their slamming them and they're slamming its hard..its rude! The guys are rude. The interviewers are rude You could do a show like this. We don't do that, we soft pedal it. So the DW has his shows called Explosion or Targeting or something, he's got some crazy very aggressive name is very similar to the BBC show and this is this guy Andy who's kind of a spokesperson for China

1:25:05 and he is on talking about China's relationship with Russia, are they really gonna go along with the crap that Russia is doing in Ukraine? And it's a mean-spirited interview but it goes off the rails as they're talking about nuclear war and how cool it would be. Generally recognize that use of nuclear weapons would be a very bad thing certainly would set a terrible precedent But we also need to see, though Tim that this is not happening in a vacuum. Secretary of Defense, Secretary of State Austin and Blinken were recently in Ukraine. There were comments made by the defense secretary that weakening or degrading the Russian military is now seen as an American objective so again I think we come back to this idea that is this an unprovoked action? Or is there

1:26:05 some precipitating event and is that precipitating event causing a legitimate response or not? I think we don't know. You didn't answer my question, Andy Marcus to whether this nuclear war would be a red line at which point Xi Jinping would pick up the phone to Mr Putin and say that's too far! We're not going with you on that Well the other way we can interpret this Tim is if the US provokes a nuclear attack by Russia? How will the world including China respond, I think is a question that no one has to answer. But again to just frame this in more context... You're not going to give me a straight answer on this are you? Let me put it another way The joint statement issued by your two governments Russia and China in early February talking of a No Limits Partnership

1:27:00 was apparently the first time China explicitly joined Russia in opposing any further NATO expansion. If NATO is expanding, it's because the threat is expanding. Russian expansionism in Europe and Beijing's increasingly increasing militarization of the South China Sea Can't you understand that that's a reason why NATO is expanding? And why people are looking to join because they require more protection In these dangerous uncertain times Wait where does this show air? Deutsche Welle But is he talking...

1:27:39 Who's worried now? Are they all just shaking in their boots about nuclear war? You know, I'm watching this show and it's like again it's like these shows where the conference is confrontational which I kind of liked the fact that somebody does force the question to be answered if you ask it. Yeah, they're kind of all shaking in their boots and it's like... And then he's kind of implying that the Secretary Defense guy is inviting a nuclear attack so we can figure out what to do. The whole thing is nuts! Well let's play the rest of this. I just want to say you also see

1:28:19 every, there's lots of news reports you know a Russian foreign minister says oh you know we won't hold back Putin says well be swift and the media interprets that as nuclear war and nuclear strikes first strike first attack I mean I personally don't think that's going to happen at all. Well let's hope not! No it would be a day wrecker i'm just saying I don't think... We wouldn't be doing this show anymore for sure. Oh it depends Maybe just without you, California would be a prime target. Texas... North Korea is the one that targets Texas. Not Russia! You might be right and I can definitely not gonna hit Fredericksburg No offense Well i would agree with the last part of what your saying to answer your question I would say Don't you remember

1:29:10 The map back in the Obama days, Kim Jong-un he had a map and it showed Austin as a major strike zone for nuclear weapons. Do you remember that? I don't remember it to be honest. Yeah, but it wouldn't surprise me because he doesn't have a clue. It was just a let...it was a big joke at the time Well, I would agree with the last part of what you're saying. To answer your question, I would say it really depends and again if the US launched a nuclear attack against Russia and Russia retaliated in kind this would be one situation If Russia was not provoked and used a nuclear weapon, that would be a completely different situation. I think we're unfortunately in this gray area and this is again to simply answer your question...I would say it depends and i have no way of knowing Let's talk about the South China Sea for a moment Why did why did China break a specific promise by Xi Jinping in 2015? Not to put military equipment on the

1:30:10 Spratly Islands. He said at the time relevant construction activity that China is undertaking does not target or impact any country and there is no intention to militarize we now see on these islands anti-aircraft, anti ship missiles runways seaports and white domed radar installations what's that if not militarization? Andy Mark Well, Tim again unfortunately or fortunately we do not live in a static world. Times change interest change in the... And promises get broken? Well I think uh again times change and I think people have to adapt countries have to adapt Is your government intending to do to Taiwan what Russia is doing to Ukraine? Is that what all this is about

1:30:58 I think any country, especially any large country, especially a continental country with increasingly global interests cannot reduce its security concerns to a single issue or to a single dimension. So when we look at Taiwan it of course is very important to China but China again has increasingly complex, I think security challenges and I would say also opportunities as well. But with Taiwan clearly the government's position has been peaceful reunification is the goal but

1:31:40 If other courses of action became inescapable, then that is also on the table as well. I can't believe you could stay awake throughout this whole interview. Oh yeah, well it was a half an hour show! That's what i'm saying... Well, it's just a half an hour of this guy apologizing for everything China does or says. Yeah It is just like the classic apologist and we're going to talk about China after I thank you for your courage And say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the double fiber cut ladies gentlemen mr.. John see Well in the morning to you

1:32:28 And in the morning all ships to sea, boats to the ground, feedin' the air, subs in the water and all the dames and knights out there. In the morning to the trolls of The Troll Room!

1:33:15 We had discussed, just briefly we discussed on the last episode that there was really no reason why we are starting so early on show days and that like we did when I was in New York. When I was in New York we did our show two hours later. I'm seeing people some actually happy about this and I've seen no pushback what is your experience? I haven't heard anything one way or the other So can we start Sunday at our new time Well, I'd like to do it as a special event. Yeah let's make it a special event Sunday! So lets lead up to it instead of just jumping into on Sunday This is now the second show we're talking about What? This is the second show were talking about so the lead-up is there I mean I'm talkin' bout big lead-up Like a week or two Or maybe like the first July 4th We'll do this show you know at The New Hour Why?!

It's half a month We've been talking about this

It says there is 1 3rd of a month But this is not 15 years, that's not true because I used to do the show in the afternoon when i was in Europe. That was the first 100 episodes.

1:39:06 with the plastic choo-choo train, with Mayor Pete Buttigieg our Transportation Secretary. I mean it was... did we even consider anything else? Yeah we were looking at things Okay let me see what you're looking at. Looking to see what it was but yeah ummm....I think we both in this case it was a very jointly attracted to this piece because so it's just a pretty piece that has a nice kind of It has a... well the plastic train is just beautiful. It's, it nails it which I'm sure is clip art. Just a smart piece yeah. Sure is clip art of a train

1:39:46 Now I want to do a call out for Sizzletron because there was a piece that he did previously that i looked at. I don't think we even talked about it but we never complimented, that's for sure and that's when they were bitching about the artists overdoing it or getting carried away. Overproduced images. So you did a piece...he or she I did a piece called Too Slick by Half and it shows somebody scribbling like a maniac, and then one of those talking bubbles coming out of my Dvorak saying calm down Picasso.

1:40:30 And so what I did was, and I'm going to start doing this more often with these Overlook pieces that are really good is I mined his page. He's done art for a number of years to find a piece for the newsletter. And so I went back and found the oldest piece I could find by him which was since I was talking about some new memes where it was a picture of Martin Luther King saying, ''I have a meme.'' Yes Which is just a bad pun that But I just want to call out Sizzletron for doing this calm down Picasso piece that we overlook completely

1:41:10 I don't even know where it is. You have to go back to page two. I saw the sizzletron, let me see... Go back to page two and then you gotta go down Oh yeah oh it's the scribble okay I see it I was looking for something else. I don't remember seeing it before be honest about it Yeah because although I get the joke and the reference Because its totally something that overlooks what does it even mean? See we need to be careful sometimes with For instance a lot of people put in windows, blue screen of death failing windows. Well no one heard that on the show because we cut all of that failure right out of it yeah so this is a mistake but you're hearing on the live stream you have to consider that some things just there won't be a joke there um the cnn plus stuff what was interesting about that is

1:42:04 All the artwork depicts CNN plus going down the drain, the Hindenburg which was kind of funny. The Hindenburg is funny but not gonna happen! No but also that's not what happened we deconstructed it and told you exactly what happened had nothing to do with not enough subscribers it was not part of the new owners idea And that's why it was cancelled, so... you know that would just be propagating dumb Twitter meme shit. Well I will say another thing as you're bringing up this kind of complaining We're not going to use Elon Musk on the cover art No! Of course not! Just not happening You are saying this because there is already 5 or 6 pieces with Elon 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 pieces Yeah and why won't we use Elon Musk as cover art John? Explain explain why we won't do this

1:42:56 Well, a couple of things. One you it's actually illegal but... It is legal? What do you mean it's illegal? You can't use the image of some person some public personality to promote that to use it as promotion in any way satirical or otherwise its illegal Hold on a second. Without paying them, you have to pay them for their image and public personality if you just throw their picture up on an ad I love this show! Well how are these ads? These are satirical images. They're going to be used for our album art

1:43:35 Satirical works in most situations. It doesn't really technically work, I mean we've slipped it in here and there but generally speaking especially with somebody of high profile like Musk Not gonna happen. But is Biden okay or Trump is okay? Or Pelosi's okay? There's a difference between a public figure who's a politician, but if you have them promoting in other words If you use them as an ad saying I recommend no agenda show which somebody might do As opposed to ridiculing him like we do with Biden that's different there's a bunch of does a fine line in here and all I'm gonna say is two things one

1:44:16 the illegality of using Musk's image, A. And B I think he is not an attractive image He is not an attractive man by the way He just a weird looking guy and I can't say if he is ugly or not ugly but he looks different so that part of it The other thing is he getting enough publicity what do we need to give him publicity for? That's the only reason thats valid who gives a crap about that guy So, no he's out. Okay Elon is out just so you know Elon is out. I'm talkative today You are and I like it It's probably because you get two hours more sleep than I do That's one of the reasons but the other reason Is because I am trying to...I'm trying to get everybody stoked And so I'm looking for opportunities You can't slip them by me Dvorak I think I'm 5 for five now

1:45:15 You're trippin'. Ooh, six for six. That's interesting because tripping is used very commonly in hip-hop parlance today. Yeah. Thank you very much Dame Kenny Benn for bringing us Mayor Pete our Transportation Secretary in the United States in his little train doing nothing for the air transportation system I must say we'd only had one delay of our flight coming back from New York we flew out of JFK on Delta And of course, we got this delay message while we were in the car on the way to the airport. It was not busy at all in the Delta terminal. We were pretty much the only people. We walked in everybody who was there at the desk was masked. We were not masked as it's no longer necessary in airport terminals but there was... The signage was still their mask mandatory which is interesting

1:46:15 I felt personally that when we were dropping our bags off, you know...I always make a chat with people. You know? I'm always like hey how are you doing? I felt that the masked Delta employees were kind of stink-eye-ish shitty towards us probably. Look at these proud Republicans Republicans going back to Texas. Don't forget Delta's woke, they're part of that woke group we bitched and moaned about. Massively woke. Now so we had the delay so we of course went to the Delta Sky Lounge as we discussed previously. The sky lounge at JFK is huge

1:47:01 And it has to be because of all the delayed and cancelled flights. I mean, it's unbelievable! And again you walk in everyone's masks all the people we were the first ones and they got really busy which is why again it's so big employees all masked and there's a big mask mandatory sign that they still have up there but of course you don't use it you don't have the mask and I would say on the flight as well as in the lounge 40% masked. Oh, I forgot! Can i just tell you one more story about the the wokeness of New York?

1:47:37 Before we get to the... So Tina was gonna have, she was gonna have the afternoon with her daughter who lives in Brooklyn and Christina and I were like okay we're gonna go hang out. We'll find something to do. And we're going to a bookstore! She loves buying books so let's just go find a bookstore. And we are in Williamsburg area of Brooklyn Also, it's everything. I don't know if it's fancy or not It's all woke. So there is a bookstore nearby about half a mile So we start walking in a famous Adam tradition. We're walking exactly the wrong direction and all of sudden we're in the Hasidic Jew neighborhood, which was phenomenal to see and boy no mass there I'll tell you that but it did get a lot of weird looks like what are these Gentiles doing here? so we pop in an Uber and we go to Greenpoint Brooklyn

1:48:34 Which I have no idea. I think this is probably where Hillary Clinton had her headquarters and there's a lot of new buildings there, and we go to the Greenpoint bookstore And the doors are wide open and we walk into it's sizable bookstore for any New York bookstore Walk in right away excuse me do you have your mask with you? I'm sorry that's not how it went. Excuse me, do you have your mask with you? No we don't have our masks oh well here's a mask Oh well thank thank you for the free mask and it was hard because I had not had a mask on a long time and as I just remembered can't breathe my glasses are fogging up

1:49:13 This bookstore was the wokest bookstore I've ever seen. Everything was Black Lives Matter, black women, women who love black women, Stacey Abrams all of her books just it wasn't even divided by section it was woke more woke wokest And just on a lark, I'm like hey do you have a religion section? I'm looking at... Oh you! Eight books. Eight books way in the corner by the bathroom. I think there were probably seven books about Judaism and the rest was atheism. It's just it was unbelievable

1:49:58 Just, and Christina was just trying to... I can't find it. She wound up getting a Vonnegut book that's about the only thing- What was she going there for? Just that she likes reading books! She likes buying books!! Well, why would you go to that bookstore in New York? I did not know it was. I did not know Greenpoint Bookstore It looked like a nice big but I saw the look at the pictures on the on the search engine So you were just unaware yeah of course I was unaware doesn't say hey The wokest book store is what it should say the wokest bookstore and Brooklyn everybody then must have been tripping now though You already used that one now the worst part is

1:50:36 As we're driving to the... We were having dinner, or going to join a dinner and I don't know. Somewhere around dinner and we're in the car And i'm relaying this story to Tina Christina says later The driver of the Uber was rolling his eyes shaking his head She said I thought he was gonna kick us out Because of what I just said The way I explained it to you I was like This place is so woke! My advice is... You had a woke driver. I woke, it's all Wokey style! The place is corrupt. I'm telling you New York City is really It's gone Yeah, it is Well, I don't know what to tell you about me I know what to do about or you want to say about it stay away But yeah, that's what I'm thinking Stay away there's no reason its I felt discriminated against I just felt like wow man people just looking at me like a like I'm an a-hole

1:51:36 Yeah, you were discriminated against. No I am of course an a-hole so that makes it even more interesting. Well that's beside the point. In case you're dealing with the... well you know what? Don't go to New York City. Don't go to work Brooklyn don't go to the works woke bookstore and don't use woke podcast apps like Spotify and Apple Ditch those get us a roundabout way to get your point I'm so happy I did that please try a new podcast app which will you can't be deplatformed Offer the podcasts in 2.0 apps, and there's all kinds of super duper features is super dupers at a 70s term I'm trying to work in my own

1:52:16 Super duper features grab one at do podcast apps calm. There's a lot of different ones to try You can try them all for free you can use them for free, but it's it's in total upgrade of your experience and censorship resistance now let us thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1446 We don't have a lot of execs and associates, but they did send in long notes for some reason. Yes and I think you should cut them down especially this one note that's so long I can't read it if it comes to me because it just blows up my page and its immaterial information is not like interesting as the guy talking about his pal. Very annoying notes

1:53:00 We appreciate all the support, but you do have to understand that you're not the only person sending in a note. Other people send in a note and before you know it we're doing an hour of its content but an hour of your notes And some of it is just a little off point But we start in Dublin, Ireland. This has not happened for a while that our top donor comes from Dublin or Ireland or anywhere in that region Peter McLeay 333 dot 50 now I do not know if this is the total euro amounts or if so if this is a specific dollar amount that came through? I just don't know unfortunately but maybe we'll find out here

M5M wisdom here in Ireland holds that the Biden-Harris ticket is a safe pair of hands. Zelensky is a saint and lockdown's masks and wonder drugs have saved us all from the killer plague! Well, I guess Ireland is very similar to Brooklyn. Needless to say, the once fighting Irish now lumber around the island under the weight of their badly swollen amygdalas.

2:04:23 John, in your Substack essay did you make up the tweet about Stardust the pan-gender 4 year old? I want to believe that over the alternatives that some scholar of women's studies whose name implies he is male has abused his child into believing it's genderless fearing Elon Musk and probably believing the world will end due to climate change before its 8th birthday. Keep up the good work! Thanks, Dame Anonymous of the Colonial Place. Excellent! Well we know how that went down and we discussed it so very good. Baronet Surfer comes in with a note he wrote a check send it in Orlando Florida $320 He says ITM

2:05:07 Great work, keep going. Love and lit all that shit." Nice! Baronet Surfer Orlando Florida There's a note for you Yeah makes up for the other ones it's it's a give-and-take It's like I put a penny in take a penny out It's working out fine actually I think we're just right in the balance today Jaa... Jacob Wickland is in Bellingham, Washington. A row of ducks 222-22 dedouching please. You've been dedouched! Also douchebag callouts for Sean Green and John Banasik And thank you for your courage Thank you very much We appreciate it Short sweet to the point an effective

2:05:48 Sir Ever of the Watt from Linwood, Michigan $200 now he wrote a note. It's actually explanatory I don't have to read it but he was given a title upgrade and he was short money Assumed title of Baron and And it was put on the list as Baron we titled him as Barron But we questioned if his numbers added up its all the honor system So you question that? And he got back to us through a donation which is of course the right way to do it And he also changed his title to baronet, which he thought... I'll read this part. He says additionally noted our titles are mutually independent fiscal events though I thought a baronet was a lady not part of the royalty hierarchy and it's Baronettes for these ladies

2:06:37 To correct my foibles, I have sent $200 in a donate website which puts me in his money. Baronet of you know that place so that's what he is now. Cheers from... He's in Ecuador! Nice! Oh really? Yeah he's in Ecuador. Huh That's supposed to be...I've never been to Ecuador but it's supposed to be gorgeous. Hold on one second let me see if we have this note No we don't So he will a rare title downgrade today on the show I think this is a first I don't think it's ever happened. No, I'm gonna give you a goat karma just for that best for being super honest Now I really like that Joshua McClain is in Bryan College Station and says that a donation of

2:07:33 Oh, a donation was sent from this email. So I don't have an email...I don't know if there's intended to tell us that there is? Well, I'll tell you what why don't you go look but you read The Next Note which is our last and final contribution very short today very short 12 total 11 actually It's very disappointing, but you know at this people are trying to get back in the groove. So once you read that well I'll go see if i can find an email from this address and by the way I wanted to say hi to Eric whose mom told him to donate and And listen hit him in the mouth and is listening to show just want to make sure we said Hi We look forward to that Anonymous is from Clark Summit Pennsylvania $200

2:08:15 You don't have to read the email, no we won't. Don't worry about it. I'm emailing you about two things though first Adam asked about auto sears on episode 1445 and ANTPQ 36 fire finder radar so he under explains the Auto sear which i don't think we have to explain but there was something about the what's this other thing? The here we go They got a few YouTube videos for the ANTPQ-36 fire finder radar which we're sending to Ukraine. Oh, that's the things we're sending to Ukraine that you supposedly can zap stuff out of the air? No I thought that radar was for the purposes of finding where it was shot from Well this is why he sent a Wikipedia entry which we could have looked up while were talking about on the show

2:09:12 How stupid are we? Let me just see what it says here before we thank him. Mobile radar system... Yeah, detect and track incoming mortar artillery and rocket fire to determine the point of origin for counter battery fire. Yes! We got it fantastic we appreciate that thank you I think we put that on the show correctly. We probably did uh and here's a couple of links there too some auto seers glock switch and firefighter which are all just fine weapons And I really have no problem with people having those. Legality, of course is an issue in the US but we think with cannons should still be allowed all kinds of weaponry it's just it sucks if bad guys have them you can't kind of want one and not the other so Anonymous will give you a Karma for that thank you very much for supporting the show. You've got karma

2:10:06 That was rather short despite the longer notes but you know our producer's guilty there. I got the note from Joshua McClain who did not put donation in the subject line which probably caused this, but he put donate. When i search when I go through my email I just do d-o-n-a-t and I don't do the ion or e yeah okay I'm just give you a tip. He writes, he wants to go request ham save the world and goat karma and he is KG5PDU 73 from him ITM Dear John and Adam greetings from the Bryan College Station Texas as we my third associate executive producer credit for the month of April's I'm chasing knighthood i cannot say enough good things about the quality of the show the audio quality sets the standard for the industry deal with it set me on the journey to acquire quality gear from my eventual podcast

2:11:02 We need more podcasters. The overall production is fantastic, bringing a truly unique experience for the producers of the show! The content is relevant and brings understanding regarding current events. The mainstream media should be doing this, however they cannot be bothered to do their jobs." I'm glad we found the note! Instead they offer hyperbole and completely incorrect reporting with misrepresented facts and non-existent quote sources familiar with the matter essentially keeping us dumb and afraid

2:11:41 Now he goes into a long exposition on the battle of victory. It was the battle of Jumenville Glen, which I'm not going to read and he talks about how it only lasts 15 minutes but he finishes with ITM 73's KG5 PDU. In the morning to you and 73's kilo 5 alpha Charlie Charlie When the apocalypse comes we're the guys who are gonna save the world right? Right! You've got karma Just slipped my mind. There was something I was gonna say, it was about the ham... What's the beginning of his note again John? How do you start that off? Something is in there. I just closed it! Oh I'm sorry there was something in there. Okay here it is, I found it. Greetings from Bryan College Station this is my third executive producership blah blah blah can't say enough good things oh I know what you want to hear. No no stop stop stop stop That is where triggered it

2:12:41 After, so when I had the if you're listening to the podcast you don't know this but there was on a live show we had an epic crash of the system while i was in New York and it gave me a blue screen of death. Yes it did! Like a fool but I really did it because you know the stream was down for 15 minutes I had to reboot everything as it was nuts and I tweet this screenshot of And I just want to say a couple things. If you use Linux, please don't be an A-hole because you don't know what we go through every single time people will say... Everyone who uses Linux is an A-hole it's a known fact! Well i use linux every single day for everything I do except the show for a very specific reason

2:13:31 Thanks, John. And here's what you get... Besides the a lot of people unplug it plug it back in I blocked people over that so if you're blocked this because your dick cuz I'm my note no I didn't see your note but I bet it was dynamite what did you say? Jiggled handle okay also lame but yeah on par the one that really disturbed me Get it! Strip it off! Use Linux! And so I've been through a long series of experimentation to get Linux to work with the particular, very specific device that I use. But people think that the problem of audio devices with Linux has been solved but they have no idea what they're talking about now it's okay because...

2:14:24 I'll take a breath. It got so bad that i finally said, I will give anybody $5,000 in Bitcoin bounty if you can solve this problem for me So now I can just ignore people who say and actually I bought Linux MotuBounty.com And it points to this tweet and this thread And still people are just like...it works man! You're not doing right! You need pipe wire And and like I've been running a professional studio for five years in Linux. Okay, you know better That's good voice. I should use that one more often Yeah, I like that voice now so I enjoy their voice so I got really frustrated now it turns out there is another out of Another model of exactly what I used that has been that had been upgraded because it didn't used to have noise gate functionality and It possibly could work

2:15:19 And I was delighted. So, I immediately order one of these devices. They all cost about 500 bucks and like wow this could really solve it! I could do the show on Linux because it's really just the interfacing and the drivers... There is a special little service that has to run to be able to manipulate the digital signal processing to create said fantastic production values So I ordered this while we're in the lounge before we fly. When we land, there's a voicemail. Hey it's Don from Sweetwater...I order from Sweetwater

2:15:59 And the way they, the sweet water operates you get a guy and they walk you through it. And of course there to upsell as well and he says well Adam we haven't charged your card I just want you know currently their out-of-stock and sadly could be awhile before we get them because Well there was a huge fire The entire factory was destroyed year and half ago and they don't expect to be able to get chips for another two years So could I interest you in something else? So the Linux production of this program will have to remain elusive for quite a while. What are the odds of having a complete fire melting down your entire production facility during a supply chain problem where chips are impossible to get? I mean, that's some bad karma." And with that his head was gone

2:16:52 No, it was just locked. Everything was locked I couldn't do anything because normally when they have a dropout I just reset it real quick and then it's usually you know doesn't... no this was everything was frozen So what are the odds of us discussing Linux for the show because Windows sucks and then your Windows machine just has a kernel panic? It does! You hurt its feelings And we want to thank all of our executive producers and associate executive producers for episode 1446. These are titles that are real, now we only handed out 11 of them today or 12 yeah 11 but they are uh to be used anywhere

2:17:34 executive producer and associate executive producer titles are recognized. Look at IMDB, see if you can find some because some Hollywood bigwigs are indeed very proud of displaying those put them on your LinkedIn your CV or your resume it's a good thing to have and if anyone questions that we'll be happy to vouch for you. If you'd like to... And before you kick that off one of the bigwig former executive producers friend died and it's on the notes there It's a lesser donation, so it was probably but he wants some karma or something you may want to look at that as well very famous singer oh Yes now hold on second. Yeah, I got it Tillian Pearson is a piece of rock singer that has got amazing chops Where where is this?

2:18:24 You bring it up, but I don't know where it is. They have a weird band name. It's Run Gavin Newsom Run No, it's Run Gavin Run, I think not... Oh that was Gavin Newsom! Where is this note? It's on the bottom of the uh...it's on the... Oh I know what-I have it here. Email from Eric Yeah yeah yeah, I'm sorry I got it here Hey guys, I donated $30 in PayPal and i know you don't usually read those so as a backup. I wanted to ask for emergency karma for executive producer and tremendous singer Tillian Pearson and the kick-ass band Dance Gavin dance They lost their bass player Tim Feerick just 34 years old 10 days before kicking off a tour That's that sucks. Well it's forget the tour

2:19:07 The first show was Saturday, April 23rd and music is how they cope. Give them strength to push on love and lit. Of course we got a karma for that sorry to hear it guys. You've got karma. That does bite ultimate ass If you'd like to be an executive producer or an associate executive producer, then all we have to do is go to this website. Dvorak dot org slash N A Thank you very much for bringing your time talent and treasured episode 1446 our formula is this We go out we hit people in the mouth Shut up

2:19:53 Before we get into another topic, I just wanted to bring up something that I found rather interesting particularly in the land and in the days of political pizza playbook where pedophilia and groomers is bandied about everywhere. Christina told me—and she actually watched it, the three of us—that there's a documentary on Netflix about Jimmy Savile, the Jimmel Fix-It guy And this is a horrific story because the guy was just revered by the entire United Kingdom. All of Britain loved him because he did great things for children, for children's hospitals and it turned out that

2:20:36 having sex and inappropriate contact with lots of children, but even people who were 80 years old. He was a necrophiliac the whole thing was just a horrific horrific story and it broke around 2012 and we know it very well because we covered that extensively on the show mainly because I wasn't living in the UK at the time but knew a lot about it And so we watched this thing and then, so we watched the first part. There's a lot of background, a lot of great historical footage and then we watch the second what I thought was episode about 45 minutes into it. I say Christina how many episodes are there? She said no this is it just two-parter. I'm like what?!

2:21:24 And so this entire thing, which by the way is not a documentary. It's actually produced by kind of a commercial production house who do promo reels and stuff like Big Brother sub shows stuff like that it's called 72 Films Production I was like, this is a cover up. This is a cover up of what went down because and I went to bingit.io just because you know this has indexed our show notes for well certainly back to 2012 and do you remember Jill Dando the journalist who tried to bring out that there were

2:22:08 you know, sports people 75 BBC executives tons of politicians who were involved in this. There were bones of hundreds of kids found outside of orphanages on the Jersey and Isle of Jersey it was incredible and everything got shut down there was corruption in all the reporting And I put the link to the Prime Minister's of the UK with a pedophile. Heath! Edward Heath, all this and none of that was in this documentary so I just needed to bring this up as a big... well how about smokescreen or just oh when you bring up Savilnaz Oh that guy

2:22:54 But I mean Jill Dando the country stopped for a week there was because she got shot in the head in front of her house In London yeah, yeah So they weren't too pleased have a look at the bing it dot IO search query if you want to know more about that but I bring it up because Yeah There's a reason this was done by some production house and was billed as As a documentary stinks. The way you do it Yeah, well I don't like it. In other words something's still at play? Somethings up for sure! If it was just over and done with and Savile already died then who cares? It would have been a real documentary but no if there is something still going on this is you know let's do this instead. Well there's a lot of stuff coming out. The UK has got these issues. Not just the UK John

2:23:48 Not just in the UK. This is about the UK specifically, I don't think it was a... I don't think Savile was part of an international group maybe he was? There's you know we learned a lot about connections between people between Savile and Epstein so yeah i do believe so And a lot of that was... Do you believe or do you do believe? No I do believe! I caught myself thanks Yeah, I think something much bigger is bubbling up and Lord knows but eyes open. Eyes on it. By the way, I will mention you know that X22 podcast? Yes!

2:24:27 That guy, all he does is say I do believe. He says... He has never once said I believe. He says I do believe, I do believe. He says it at least ten times in the show No, he says a couple of things. He says I do believe. He also says the private Western Central Banks The private Western Central Banks The private Western Central Banks And he says let's talk about your health Let's talk about your safety Let's talk about your food But there's something about this show You have to keep listening you can't not listen to this show are at war against the private Western central banks. Let's talk about our health, it has a good podcast only available on podcasting 2.0 apps and getting kicked off of Spotify and Apple probably because of the I do believe.

2:25:13 China. I have two quick clips to bring us up to speed on what's going on in China, specifically Shanghai. Turning to the pandemic, China is installing what's being described as COVID cages around some buildings and neighborhoods in Shanghai. The barriers are part of China's increasingly strict zero-COVID policy. Shanghai has been locked down for weeks amid China's worst COVID outbreak so far Meanwhile in Beijing, people in some areas are now required to get tested three times per week. is that now it's five or six weeks this has been happening with, specifically with Shanghai. And we have producers in Shanghai a couple of them and I'm very concerned you know? I'll be emailing and they say well yeah it's true you know We're not really in the apartment problem where the lights are on You got to bucket the poop in and bottle water and separating kids but even they are like no things are fine! We've got three pickles

2:26:15 Do you realize? I mean, they've become accustomed to it. Been accustomed to the Chinese just saying no food for you! And maybe they've been in the country too long but they really feel like we're fortunate and got 50 eggs three pickles and some corn and will be good for the next month It's really interesting and i keep saying don't you want to leave We'll see, you know. Once this is over we'll see how it's going. My heart goes out to them I hope they're okay because things are not good in China This morning China racing to control a rise in COVID-19 cases In Beijing enforcing and expanding mass testing in 11 of its 16 districts Lines snaking around the block with residents waiting to get swabbed

2:27:08 Authorities are cracking down, police restricting people's movements. They're stepping up their efforts to prevent a larger outbreak like the one in Shanghai. Shanghai has now been shut down for five weeks for the city's 25 million people trapped in their homes. Fences are put up where COVID cases have been confirmed and to stop residents from leaving Speaking to ABC News, one resident holed up in her apartment with her two children and parents since the beginning of March. A lack of access to readily available food forcing her to eat just one meal a day. I'm angry but I have no choice actually

2:27:46 I have no power to use. I don't have any right to do something." Those who test positive are sent to an isolation facility like this one, multiple people forced to share rooms some in cramped and unsanitary conditions but these strict measures two years after the start of the outbreak have broader implications In Shanghai's port cargo ships filled with trade goods from around the world are backed up threatening the global supply chain once again And I just want to point out that this is complete deja vu all over again, including the report that has come out now. The world's first H3N8 bird flu human infection reported in China. This is kind of the way it goes now this is COVID and bird flu two different things but they're gonna do anything they can It's so obvious to me

2:28:39 They're, they're the any kind of virus they can figure out. Oh we got that one to jump to humans We're all gonna die and you know maybe will die from the bird flu I don't know but with China their asshole is...we gotta stop this now! It's...I really believe they're going to try and do this again Well good for you And good for them They are out of luck But I mean also to us. Do you have the clip? If you don't have it, i'll get for Sunday of the guy screaming kill me now kill me

2:29:21 No, how come you don't have that clip? Well I have a thing. I do well like but this leads into What's something that we've been talking about and we actually had questions about how treat tree disease work in the United States And now the World Health Organization has a promo video out and this is happening It's not stopping it will it will be ratified approved everywhere in the world. It is the The World Health Organization pandemic treaty which directly affects the international health regulations, which is a thing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the biggest challenges we are facing It's been a stark and painful reminder that nobody is safe until everyone is safe

2:30:07 There will be other pandemics and other major health emergencies. No single government or multilateral agency can address this threat alone Together we must be better prepared to predict, prevent, detect assess and effectively respond to pandemics in a highly coordinated fashion. The 194 member states of the World Health Organization resolved to work together towards a new international instrument for pandemic preparedness and response this renewed collective commitment is a milestone in stepping up pandemic preparedness at the highest political level. Such an agreement, rooted in the World Health Organization constitution could strengthen existing international health instruments especially the International Health Regulations and provide a firm and tested foundation on which we can build and improve

2:31:01 The agreement also has the potential to foster an all-of government and all of society approach, strengthening national regional and global capacities and resilience to future pandemics. This could include greatly enhancing international cooperation to approve alert systems data sharing research and local, regional and global production and distribution of medical public health countermeasures such as vaccines diagnostics and personal protective equipment. The agreement could also recognize the One Health approach that connects the health of humans, animals and our planet. To achieve this WHO will support its member states in their work and facilitate the involvement relevant stakeholders including from civil society and the private sector. Pandemic preparedness needs global leadership for a global health system fit for this millennium

2:31:56 To make this commitment a reality, we must be guided by solidarity fairness transparency inclusiveness and equity. Yeah! Throw some equity in there... You're making me sick! This is why Trump had the right idea to get rid of this corporation Yes he did He had the right idea And I'm gonna make a prediction It'll be very similar to my prediction that I made in 2015 By the time 2024 rolls around It is my belief and my sincere belief or I could say, I do believe that people even people on the left will be begging for Trump. They'll be begging for him to come back and fix it. That's my prediction you write it down now. Yep. That's a pretty wild one. That's that's why I want to stop the show for a second and say I guess got in just not to throw back to earlier defense one alert just came out

2:32:52 through the email system. There's been a nuclear strike? No, not yet. Requests will help fight Russia in the longer term Biden says they're asking Congress to approve Another not an eight. What was it? 700 million they did this morning There's 800 million 800 million of these seven hundred million was the new number to do another one ever 33 billion Oh provide more military and humanitarian aid Ukraine so they can go the long run Are you kidding me No, President Joe Biden just asked Congress on Thursday that's today for thirty three billion

2:33:34 My goodness. Doesn't seem like a lot actually 33 billion. It's got nothing to do with us, it's just throwing $33 billion away! But why is it 33? What are they trying to tell us?! Yeah I know well that's another story... Please explain! Part of this is a let us say they came out just during the show to let us know that my earlier thesis at the National Security Council was running everything down there listen to throw this in shows up right on my just to let us know yeah for us yeah

2:34:13 Huh. Anyway, Trump will be... people will be begging for him and although he's stupid because he says he's not going to join Twitter He's not even if he's invited back he won't rejoin Twitter Because he has got Throat Sensual Have you heard about his new social network? Yes, we have. We both have accounts. Had to give the American people their voice back by building something called truth... Truth Sensual. Throat Truth- What? He said throat truth sensual! God. He doesn't even know his own social network that was bad. Throat Sensual. It was bad. Throat Sensual come on man I didn't get that one Yeah

2:34:59 Alright, well you're on to it. You're still talking about China? Let's talk about Australia and China as a bunch of other stuff that is not being reported the Europeans talk about this. Australia is having issues with China right now and everyone's freaked out Australia's government says it is very likely that Beijing could deploy Chinese troops on its doorstep in the next year. The warning follows the signing of a new security pact between China and the Solomon Islands, which are about 2,000 km from northeast Australia. A leaked draft of the deal suggests that China could deploy security forces to the island or even build a military base there

2:35:35 Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison says that's a red line and with federal elections less than a month away this has become a hot political issue. Australia's opposition has promised at defense school to train neighboring armies if it wins the May election, this as a response to China's potential military presence on the Solomon Islands. The prospect of of a Chinese base less than 2,000 kilometers from Australia's coastline is dramatically detrimental to Australia security interests and that has occurred on Mr. Morrison watch." The Labour Party is criticizing Prime Minister Scott Morrison over a security pact announced last week between China and the Solomon Islands

2:36:19 A leak of the draft deal in March indicates that Chinese military personnel and naval ships could be permitted to land or dock here. That has sent shockwaves across the region. Where's this report from? Deutsche Welle, it was my news source for today Okay I like it But China denies seeking a military foothold there. The cooperation aims to help the Solomon Islands maintain social order, respond to natural disasters and carry out humanitarian assistance. The island nation has also defended the pact with its public. Let me assure the people of Solomon Islands that we entered into an arrangement with China with our eyes wide open

2:37:03 guided by our national interests. But the Solomon Islands is far from united about the decision. Deadly unrest erupted last year after the government switched ties from Taiwan to China Australia sent troops to restore calm and soon after, China began to train local riot forces on the island A move that caused anxiety in Australia. Then came the new security pact, it has accelerated Canberra's plans to purchase long-range missiles. I am concerned about the outlook and not just the next

2:37:39 few years, but over the course of the next decade as well. There was a working assumption that an act of aggression by China toward Taiwan might take place in 2040s I think that timeline now has been dramatically compressed. I think China's been very open and honest about their intentions and certainly not just through their words but through their actions With elections looming next month, issues around regional stability will continue to take centre stage in Australia's domestic politics. Yeah, I think there was maybe two or three years ago that there was already some worry about... That's when the Solomon Islands said we're not going to recognize Taiwan anymore. We're gonna recognize China and they opened the door and now we've got this. This is a big deal in Australia that's all they are talking about No no no! They are talking about the price of gas

2:38:32 And inflation. It's kind of scary though, because I think Australia is rather vulnerable do they? I mean... I guess we'd have to... well they're not part of NATO so they can't count on our help if they need it Oh! They can count on our help as part of the Five Eyes Network are you kidding me? True. There's absolutely no doubt that having secured much of the first island chain, they're now turning their attention to what they call the second island chain. The Solomon Islands are very strategically significant but you might remember that one of the most savage battles at the Pacific War was a Guadalcanal which of course is part of the Solomon Islands so it's

2:39:32 absolutely understandable that from China's purposes they would want to secure a significant foothold, ultimately perhaps a major military base in the Solomon Islands. Likewise as far as Australia is concerned, as the Prime Minister said Nothing. One of the things that sensible statesmen try to ensure is that we don't over-telegraph what might happen. I am very confident that the entire Australian apparatus is bending every energy right now

2:40:25 that this Chinese base doesn't happen and that the Solomon Islands and their people appreciate, that their long-term best interests lie in maintaining the long and happy friendship that they've had with Australia. But still, just to drill down on that I mean the language of red lines tends to imply if they are crossed there could be some kind of military action taken is Australia really threatening some form of military action if China takes that step? Well...I think everyone needs to understand just how serious this is The world was comparatively oblivious

2:41:05 to what happened in the South China Sea and we're now confronted with a very drastic alteration of the situation on the ground, the facts on the ground. Wow this is an interesting turn of events I mean it was the Japanese now it's the Chinese yeah hmm Is there something...I guess this is the location of Solomon Islands that makes it so perfect for this? It helps you know they're trying to block off and set up a situation where they can't be blocked off themselves for their trading paths. They don't need Australia in there, put the thing up there this will stop Australia from getting too involved with anything I just want to go back to the war machine for a second and Trump because i forgot one clip that i thought was kind of interesting cause is little more information behind the recent

2:42:02 losses that Boeing reported. Boeing of course big contractor for the military and the CEO mentioned something in this I think it's a CNBC interview about these losses and I looked it up but it's pretty funny Dave they set it up perfectly you missed on the top on the bottom line we had a number of charges in there, It was not a good looking quarter at all what do you say to Boeing investors who are looking at their shares moving lower now Tell them that you believe you have a game plan for not only second quarter, but the rest of this year. Yeah Phil first great to have here in South Carolina and great Great to see some tales behind us on the production line Messier quarter than any of us would've liked Familiar themes supply chain constraints COVID inflation

2:42:54 have disproportionate impact on our company in one specific area, and that's our fixed price development contracts that we do with our defense business. And they took a hit without a doubt. We had Air Force One which is a program most people know a lot about it took a hit. Our trainer took a hit and our MQ-25. We love those development programs and we love the work we're doing in the performance of the airplanes but the accounting proved to be difficult The accounting proved to be difficult. So I looked into this, if you recall President Trump at the time made a deal with Boeing for Air Force One it was a big deal there's gonna be new planes and two planes actually and Boeing lost over a billion dollars on the deal how did it happen?

2:43:43 something incredibly interesting. Trump did something that the US government never does with the military-industrial complex, he put in there that overruns would have to be paid for by Boeing themselves and I don't know if they missed it? They didn't miss it! They came up 600 million short or something like that per plane and they had come up without themselves That's whining now. I love that finally someone who did something right with those a-holes But then pay for it with your overruns Yeah, you know any baloney over us he saw that I mean everyone knows about this scam yeah? Yeah, okay We got low bid now we're just run it up So I think said you know they bit it You've been it out at like a billion and goes from three and a half billion when it's finally done And we paid with the taxpayers paying of course yes, I know I saw that report is very interesting

2:44:39 Some news for you from the food intelligence sector. We discussed your Yak Fest on the last show Yeah. And the yak meat and that was yak burgers, did you have yak burgers? Yeah yak burgers. Yak burgers I got some yak steaks coming and i got some another report coming on on Sunday Well here's the power of John C Dvorak uh got a note from Dr J who says brother Adam ordered yak meat from the Colorado farmer that John mentioned in 1441 I told the owner who wrote me a very nice note after he received payment that I'd learned about his farm from no agenda. He told me there had been an explosion of orders!

2:45:20 Now he's listening to No Agenda too. Oh really? An explosion of orders I say! Might be time to make the yak the official no agenda Gitmo nation animal. Well that may be taking it a bit far, the goat will not kick aside that easy. It could be our No Agenda dinner meat. You know what I've looked into it more...it's got besides being 97% fat-free and the fat that it does have is the good duck fat basically. For most beef that is that fat free, this is not a tough meat. That's what makes it interesting and especially light and kind of I would say fluffy. It's also referred to for marketing purposes as Himalayan beef

2:46:13 Well, that's no good. Yak is much better! I agree but they said apparently the American you know uh squeamish American consumer... Oh we can't handle the yak? Yeah, yak i can eat that You can't handle the yak So as we will have another report a complete report on Sunday regarding my situation with the yak Well if Americans are having trouble with yak They're not going to like this. Well brave volunteers are putting their taste buds to the test at the University of Adelaide Researchers are preparing common insects for consumption, insisting sustainable food sources are the future Sustainable! Crickets ants and mealworms usually the last things you want to see in a kitchen

2:47:01 But forget using words like creepy or cruelly to describe the dishes they're plating up at the University of Adelaide. Crunchy and flaky, it's pretty delicious People often assume that what they might taste like is kind of this insect and that's often something a bit squishy and squelchy and not too appetising Researchers want to change that – frying roasting dehydrating insects to be included in everyday diet They're also really high in protein and good fats. They can be raised using very little environmental resources." And that's a big win! Global food production accounts for more than 1 third of the world greenhouse gas emissions Researchers say the way the insects are prepared is key Now I'm told the roasted mealworm is one of most palatable for beginners So, bon appetit! Mmmmm! Tastes like poop Bit like roast chicken

2:47:55 Chicken. Oh, chicken. ...in a powdered form where you can't see them Feedback from the uni's taste testers will create a sensory guide which can then be used by industries for product creation or by anyone curious enough to try A lot of our retailers in Australia have their insects available online Taylor Jones 7 News And if you think this is just a fun little joke with everybody listening to this podcast, it's not. It's coming we've been predicting this for over a decade We accurately predicted mac and cheese as being the only food You'll actually serve your children and Northern Ireland is the first to have a shining example.

2:48:45 We'll have to either cull, remove or stop breeding over a million sheep and cattle to meet climate targets of the sustainable development goals of the Starship Command and European Union and all that crap. A million! So they're making you kill the birds... The sheep are mostly used for wool so not only are they freezing you out by not giving Russian gas But now you can't even wear a sweater.
