About this episode

The January 6th Committee prepares for a primetime media blitz as former trade advisor Peter Navarro faces a two-count criminal contempt indictment. The Department of Justice move follows Navarro's public arrest at an airport, where he was reportedly placed in leg irons. This legal escalation coincides with a strategic shift by Democratic Representatives Ro Khanna and Jamie Raskin, who are attempting to reclaim patriotism and distance the progressive wing from socialist labels ahead of the midterm elections.

In international developments, Ukraine’s Commissioner for Human Rights Lyudmila Denisova was removed from her post following allegations of unverified rape propaganda. Meanwhile, the 2022 Bilderberg Conference in Washington D.C. convenes high-profile figures including Henry Kissinger, CIA Director William Burns, and the CEOs of Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline. Domestic concerns rise as Elon Musk announces a ten percent workforce reduction at Tesla, citing a negative outlook on the U.S. economy, while President Joe Biden dismisses the warning by highlighting competing investments from Ford and Intel.

Technological oddities and cultural shifts take center stage as a hologram of Queen Elizabeth II appears in a London procession, sparking debates over AI-generated personalities and patent delays. Dana Brunetti shares the frustrations of navigating a ten-thousand-entry digital wine list, while a California court legally reclassifies bumblebees as fish to secure environmental protections. The show concludes with a look at the 1970s energy crisis through the lens of Mork and Mindy and the irony of the 2010 Audi Green Police commercial.

Rain Stick Authority, Republic of South Africa Controversy

A humorous dispute involves the Rain Stick Authority (RSA) regarding the proper technique for using a rain stick during the show's opening. The hosts clarify that RSA stands for the Rain Stick Authority rather than the Republic of South Africa. Recent rain in Texas is attributed to the successful, albeit contested, use of the sacred instrument.

00:00 She's a rescue. Well, isn't this interesting? I needed to bring this up to you at the top of the show. What? I got a very angry note from the RSA. The RSA? The Republic of South Africa? Really? You don't know what RSA stands for? Yeah, Republic of South Africa. No, no, Rain Stick Authority.

00:52 Oh, the rainstick authority. When we... We never hear from them. Yeah, well, what they heard is we were supposed to do one shake, one flip of the rainstick so we wouldn't have too much off the back end of the stick and you did a, like a jiggle at the end. I'm supposed to do a jiggle? No, there's no jiggle. It's flip, flip, it's one flip. There's no jiggle. There's jiggle. You gotta get those little beads at the top. Well, the RSA disagrees and Dallas, Dallas got some shit. They deserve it. Oh man, well of course Texans are used to something so we're not complaining too much. But how's, so you have rain there so it worked once again. Yeah it started raining last night and it kept going. It was raining this morning. It's letting up now. Beautiful, beautiful. Well that's what we needed right? So it worked once again. Yeah it seems to work every time. People don't believe this but the rain stick, these are official rain sticks. Well it's not our, it's not, we didn't make these things up. No, shit. And they've been used for millennial. Mm-hmm. Millenia.

01:53 I meant by Millennials. Oh, sorry, misunderstood. Yeah, Dame Sherry Osborne, wasn't it? Sherry Osborne, I think, made those in Utah. Very, very sacred. Yeah, you picked them up there in Utah. Sacred stuff, yeah. Sacred stuff up there. I saw you hobnobbing this weekend with the elites. Oh yeah, I went to dinner with Brunetti and Alex. Yeah. And I have to say a couple of things about this guy. This is our uber super executive producer Dana Brunetti. Go look him up on IMDB. Hot shot. Hot shot. So you know everyone's, everyone's going, oh this is Brunetti and they're all jacked up, this place is...

Dana Brunetti, High-End Wine List Navigation

A dinner with executive producer Dana Brunetti and his partner Alexandra leads to a discussion about a frustrating wine list experience at a high-end restaurant. The wine list, containing 10,000 entries, was presented on a tablet without a search function, requiring manual scrolling. The anecdote touches on past experiences with company credit cards and the etiquette of ordering expensive bottles.

00:52 Oh, the rainstick authority. When we... We never hear from them. Yeah, well, what they heard is we were supposed to do one shake, one flip of the rainstick so we wouldn't have too much off the back end of the stick and you did a, like a jiggle at the end.

And I have to say a couple of things about this guy. This is our uber super executive producer Dana Brunetti. Go look him up on IMDB. Hot shot. Hot shot. So you know everyone's, everyone's going, oh this is Brunetti and they're all jacked up, this place is...

02:37 kind of a high-end restaurant, but I know I saw the pictures. Burnetti has better stories than I can conjure up. Right. He has a couple, he has toppers and he topped the whole night off with one. I can't tell you what it is because it's too good and you should always ask him how did this trip to Russia go and then he'll give you the story. That's all I can reveal of this story. Of course, Alex is rolling her eyes. And he says, well, I've told the story a couple of times before. Yeah, she says five times I've heard it. She is Russian. Isn't she ex-Russian? No, she's a half Japanese, half Iranian. I think a name like Alex, you just got to be a Russian.

03:23 Alexandra. Yeah, exactly. It's Alexandra. And yeah, it was a good dinner. Except for the one dessert was a disappointment. But other than that... That was hilarious. Dana sent me pictures. He sent a really... Yeah, he says, I'm gonna send these pictures to Adam. He sent a really... It's actually a very nice picture. Very typical JCD pose you're sitting there completely in your own thought hunched over looking at the wine Menu and and you know you can see this thought bubbles exploding you're reading everything so they had a wine list they had a wine list That was on a tablet, on like a tablet. Yes, yes. Maybe there was a little bit of disgust that I saw there as well, like this is this shit on a tablet. Okay, here's a wine list. Let me just explain it because even the waitress agreed because the two of them, they're going, what? No. The waitress, yeah, yeah. And what I said was this is a wine list of something like 10,000 wines.

04:20 Wow. And there's no way of searching it. It's not indexed. You have to scroll literally through 10,000 wines. Oh, that's funny. And she's going, yeah, it's crazy. And they're going, no. And I said, yeah, and it's lucky I found anything at all because you got to scroll. You don't believe what they... It sounds stupid because it is. You scroll and you scroll and you scroll and you're at like wine 100. You've been there 10 minutes. It's unbelievable. So Dana sends me this picture. I send him back. I said, oh my goodness, that's so familiar. This is JCD picking the wine we will all drink that only you will pay for.

05:00 I don't run the business off of it. No, you don't. No, I know you don't. If it's a hundred bucks, you're like, no, that's too much. I've seen you go like $65 too much for that wine. I've seen you do that. No, it's all specific. A hundred bucks is not too much for some wine. I know, but when it was on my credit card or the company card, Mevio. Company card. You would never overdo it. We drank well, but you never overdid it. I guess this time you did. Believe me, I will say this, if for some reason, like I wouldn't buy a $500 bottle of wine on somebody's card, but let's say it was Mouton 1945. I would definitely pay 500 bucks for that wine. And if they didn't want to pick it up, I would. So everything is all balanced. You know, it's like, what's the best for the price? Best price.

CHAPTER 03 / 52 Discussion

Queen Elizabeth II, Hologram Technology and AI

A hologram of a young Queen Elizabeth II appeared in a golden carriage during a procession in London. This use of technology is compared to the ABBA holographic performances and sparks a discussion on the future of AI-generated personalities. There is speculation regarding the timing of Prince Charles's ascension and how patents often delay technology adoption in the United States.

queen elizabeth ii· london· hologram· abba· artificial intelligence· patents

05:57 That's Bryce. Hey. On the West Coast, a lot of Chinese. I don't have any clips. You might, but unlikely. But I thought it was just fantastic to see the Queen in her golden carriage as a hologram parading through the streets of London. Did you know? I guess you didn't see this. I missed this. They had the golden carriage, you know, the whole procession. And then she can be around forever. Well this and it was but it was the old Queen Elizabeth when she still had dark hair and was hot And it was a hologram and she's waving inside inside this Golden carriage is uncanny is really good. It's very well done to look for a video of that But to me, it's like okay now, let's just all agree. I'm sorry. The Queen passed away. The timing was not right they probably used a body double for that hobble on to the

06:51 Onto the balcony. They're just waiting for the right moment. I think that if we really put our minds to it we can probably deconstruct when Charles will ascend to the throne Deadpool Yes Royal Deadpool my friend not just any old Deadpool Royal Deadpool. I just thought that was super exciting We got ABBA doing their so you know, they're low rent holographic performance And maybe this was the same technology. You know, just a screen but it made it look real with, you know, the way it was lit, the way the character was positioned. We can live on forever too. There's thousands of hours, thousands of hours of Adam and John. Where's the AI? Okay, hello AI people. Where's the artificial intelligence? Don't give anyone any ideas. Hello. Hey, well just while we're alive we can take a royalty.

07:52 I'm hereby claiming... You know that's not how it works. That's how idealistically it works, but it wouldn't be that way. Are they both dead yet? What do you mean? That's when you're dead. That's when they start doing this and oh, we don't really have anyone to give the royalty to. Oh, you mean they're holding back on doing this until we're gone? That's what you would do. That's what I do. That's what they do with the... That's what the Americans tend to do with it. That's why I mentioned it before in the show, why the smart card took forever to take hold in the United States. They waited for the patent to run out. Oh, there's that. There's that too. Well, I'm here to say that this next coming week

January 6th Committee, Peter Navarro Indictment

The congressional inquiry into the January 6th Capitol attack is scheduled for primetime television broadcasts starting June 9th. Former trade advisor Peter Navarro was indicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with subpoenas. Navarro criticized his arrest at an airport, where he was reportedly placed in handcuffs and leg irons.

08:33 is going to, in the world of media deconstruction, is going to suck ass. And you're probably wondering why. I'm wondering why. The congressional inquiry into the January 6th attack on the US Capitol, the so-called insurrection, will air in primetime. Primetime, ladies and gentlemen. Starting... I'm just gonna cross the Democrats' vote. Starting, I think, June 9th at 8pm. Additional hearings are set for June 13th. So hold on a second. How did the networks agree to such a stupid thing? Well now I don't know if and I have no confirmation the networks will do this but you can only imagine they will and they'll have three days to precede that hearing with setup with innuendo and stuff like this. Tonight a defiant Peter Navarro leaving a federal courthouse after being indicted on two counts of criminal contempt of Congress.

09:38 No American citizen should have to go through what I went through today, who is trying to do the right thing. I'm trying to do my duty to this country. I'm in an untenable position. Trump's former trade advisor claiming he was handcuffed at an airport gate on his way to Nashville for refusing to comply with the House committee investigating the January 6th insurrection. Navarro was part of Trump's inner circle that pushed false claims about the 2020 election even writing a book detailing his plan to overturn an election Trump lost. Lawmakers wanted him to turn over documents and testify. He refused, claiming his hands were tied, citing executive privilege. Overnight, the 72-year-old telling MSNBC he was worried about prison. The average lifespan in America for an American male is 76 years old. If I were to go to prison for a year, which is what the contempt of charge

10:34 could do to me. That would be about a fourth of my remaining life. Well, I don't know about that. But arresting the guy at the airport, is that because A, they have some kind of no-fly notice of security, although it was at the gate, which is kind of odd. So that means probably B, to impose maximum embarrassment, handcuff the guy at the gate. Yeah, and boy, there's a slight, they left a little piece of this out because it might have been too outrageous. They cuffed him and put him in leg irons. No. Yes. Wow. That's that's some brown shirt crap right there. In public, in public. They found it. The guy would have all they have to do is say, hey, you want to cut you can come with us. Yeah. I mean, that's not even that it's about showing getting documents.

11:25 Yeah, that he claims are executive privilege, but they're gonna put him in leg irons Yeah, why don't you just put a big like an iron ball like a drag along? You know? He has to carry the ball Perfect you're right an iron ball and you have to carry the ball. I can see the artist mind spinning already Right won't use it, but it's funny Yeah, no, this is and this was too much and that's why they left it out of that report So this is trouble these guys if they're gonna try to put this the prime time prime time This is ridiculous and it's gonna be and there's not one Republican representative on there. There's not a Republican Of course Kinzinger jerk off both of them are really Democrats and

CHAPTER 05 / 52 Discussion

Primetime Hearings, Media Strategy and Ratings

The decision to air the January 6th hearings at 8:00 PM is analyzed as a media strategy intended to influence the upcoming midterm elections. Skepticism is expressed regarding whether major networks will maintain high ratings during the broadcasts. The hearings are described as a potential distraction from economic issues like rising gas prices.

cnn· fox news· msnbc· pbs· primetime· midterm elections

12:21 and Kinzinger won't even run for office again because he doesn't want to get tarred and feathered and Cheney's having nothing but trouble. So it's all the Democrat kangaroo court and this is not gonna, I don't think this is gonna look good. You know it all depends on their media partners, the M5M. I think that it's very possible they can dress it up again they have, this is perfectly timed and I think the 9th will be Let's see, 7, 8, 9, is that Thursday? Yeah, I think this is where the primaries are underway in many states. So this will be the big distraction for this entire week. They have to set up more, then we're going to talk more, we'll be talking all week about who's going to be in this trial of, we need a name like trial of the century.

13:12 one sixth trial of the century something we're gonna have to have some kind of slogan because they don't really have that they're gonna be able to pull a slogan thing off and one of the net if one if the networks are supposed to do anything with this which I doubt because no network executive in his right mind is gonna want to run well no but it'll be CNN Fox MSNBC it'll be yeah that's fine but nobody watches those 70 Fox Fox shouldn't run it if they're true to their supposed cause. And CNN are running, nobody watches CNN, nobody watches MSNBC. PBS will probably run it, a lot of people watch that, but they're not gonna watch during prime time. If the networks are running, one network goes rogue and they take all the ratings and they can't have that. So this is gonna be hard to do. But I'm game, I'll see what happens. It's gonna be, it's just, it's not a good look.

14:08 Now, it's not a good look, but I think that a lot of people... I watch MSNBC and I know I'm one of only 900,000, but I watch CNN for the same reason. I watch as much as I can and I think that there is... It's just going to be blanketing the media. That is definitely going to happen. They will see I'd like to see how it rolls out and maybe why else why else do it at 8 p.m. I mean 8 p.m. That's because they're idiots. Yeah, they really think that they know what they're doing and they said well I know what we need to do we need to do this

CHAPTER 06 / 52 Discussion

Ro Khanna, Jamie Raskin on Progressive Strategy

Democratic Representatives Ro Khanna and Jamie Raskin are working to develop new strategies for the progressive wing of the party. According to an NPR report, they aim to reclaim patriotism and reject socialist labels to better connect with voters. The discussion notes that voters are currently more concerned with the price of gasoline than ideological purity.

ro khanna· jamie raskin· npr· progressive democrats· patriotism· gas prices

14:45 I have a bunch of clips of these progressives. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. So these are not new clips, but the progressives are freaked out because they're going to lose, have their asses handed to them. So they're all kind of, let's try this. I got three clips. This is with the, I'll start with this one. This is from NPR. This is progressives, the Democrats. This is featuring Jamie Raskin. That horror, you know, the guy who's one of the worst of the... Lurch. One of the guys pushing for this. He's the one who probably came up with the idea of doing this TV thing. With Republicans threatening... I'm sorry. I'm sorry. It was a cue. You can go. I screwed up. With Republicans threatening to take over control of the U.S. House, two of its progressive Democrats are teaming up to develop new strategies to expand the progressive wing of their party. CNPR's Claudia Grisales reports they say that work includes new efforts at coalition building.

15:37 House Democratic progressives Ro Khanna and Jamie Raskin tell NPR they're tired of the ideological purity politics that have overtaken the party's message. The two began meeting late last year and say progressive Democrats need to reclaim issues of patriotism, reject socialist labels, and stay out of the political correctness business. And so we have a skepticism out there for a large part of the country that has fallen behind, that has lost jobs. All of the political dogmas of the past are not serving particularly well.

16:14 Conor and Raskin say Democrats should stop preaching and instead spend more time listening to voters. And with this I think you're right that the backfire, if there's a backfire, if there's a backlash, which of course that won't be televised, will be because people are concerned about other things like we don't really don't care about this anymore. You know that was January. Yeah, over a year ago. Over a year ago. We don't have memory. Our collective memory is fuzzy. We're worried about gas prices. You're trying to remind people thinking that this is a good wedge issue that can get people to vote about. It's not happening. Nobody cares about some of this stuff. They care about the price of gasoline. Have you filled up your tank? Yes. 80 bucks.

CHAPTER 07 / 52 Discussion

Democratic Midterm Warning, Student Debt and Climate

Progressive strategists express concern that a lack of bold action on climate change and student debt relief may lead to low voter turnout for Democrats in the midterms. Some party members argue that the administration has not been progressive enough, failing to deliver on campaign promises like free college. Representative Barbara Lee is cited as an example of a deeply entrenched progressive politician.

joe biden· bernie sanders· midterm elections· student debt· climate change· barbara lee

17:02 here in Texas. It's a hundred here. Yeah, well I know that's your punishment for living in the devil's country. It's true, but you get to be in the devil's country. Yeah, well there's that. So let's go to here's some more stuff just a different report on similar stuff progressives during election open. Do you feel that lower level of enthusiasm in this election climate? Yeah. So in my conversations recently with a lot of progressive strategists, one thing that has certainly been true is the fact that they feel like the party in Washington has not delivered the type of bold change

17:38 that they had hoped for, that they had been counting on, and that they feel like Biden ran on as a candidate. And I talked to a couple of strategists recently who told me they believe that may be one thing that is a huge warning sign when we look at turnout in these midterm elections. If people don't feel like their lives have been meaningfully changed in these big, bold ways, they cite things like like meaningful action on climate change, for example, any kind of student debt relief, those things haven't materialized. So people may not be as excited to turn out as Democrats would hope, which when you're thinking about control of Congress, that could be, they could be in big trouble. Okay. So thinking like a stupid strategist, the idea is okay, well, the climate change, obviously we're always messaging about that, but let's say give 5 billion to, uh, to people who got a bad loan from that

18:24 from that university the vice president pursued. So they're trying to throw him a bone, a $5 billion bone, which is, that's pathetic if they think that's going to make the progressive wing of the Democrat Party feel any better. Well, the other thing is that keeps cropping up, I don't have any real good clips of this, but I keep hearing it, which is they think that the reason that they're not doing well and they're not going to get the votes in the primaries or in these midterms is that they're not progressive enough. Do we promise... You mean the progressives aren't progressive enough? That's what they're saying. For example, Biden promised, Biden ran on a progressive platform promising free college. Yes. Didn't deliver. No. He promised student loan debt relief.

19:10 It hasn't delivered. He promised this, he promised that. And the Bernie Sanders type people, they go, well, you know, if we get the votes out, if we ran people that were really super progressive and followed up with their promises, in other words, bankrupt the country. But that's beside it. That's what I see. Details, details, details. So they have these issues. This is the second part of this. Democrats face an uphill battle to hang on to power in Congress. So one of the big things that I've been watching is number of races in which progressive candidates who have been making big gains over the last few years may have an opportunity to increase their power, even as Democrats may be in for a rough time of it.

19:51 And that's NPR. There's an example where, you know, the progressives that are in office in these lockdown areas. I would say we have one here in the Bay Area, Barbara Lee, which speaks for me, woman. She is very progressive and she's never, you can't vote her out if you wanted to. Everyone, yeah, yeah, that's what we should do. We need more socialism. So they're, you know, they're falling into the trap of their own making. And yeah, see what happens. And I think this, these hearings will be part of the same thing. It's going to be, people are going to, I don't care how many times they, you know, the media can cover for you. They can't, they can't cover for stupidity.

CHAPTER 08 / 52 Discussion

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Theory of Stupidity

The letters of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a pastor in Nazi Germany, provide a framework for understanding stupidity as a moral rather than intellectual defect. Bonhoeffer argued that stupidity is more dangerous than malice because it is immune to reason and facts. The theory suggests that people in groups are more susceptible to being "made stupid" by the overwhelming impact of rising political or religious power.

dietrich bonhoeffer· nazi germany· stupidity· moral defect· sociological problem

20:35 I'm glad you used that word because I was looking for a place to play this. There's a, I guess it's well known, it wasn't that well known to me, though kind of rang a bell faintly, the Bonhoeffer letters from prison. Does this mean anything to you? It rings a bell, but that's all it does. So Bonhoeffer was a priest in pre-Nazi Germany, or a pastor I should say. And when people started throwing, you know, like the Kristallnacht started breaking windows of Jewish shop owners, he was preaching to his flock like, hey, you know, this is stupid, don't do this.

21:13 Then of course he eventually got arrested by the Nazis and he did wind up dying in a concentration camp. But while he was in prison initially, he wrote these letters and in it he explains that the problem, because these are not dumb people, you know, the Democrats are not dumb people. They have intellect, clearly, but they're stupid. And so he wrote these letters about stupidity over malice and someone sent me this video. So it's narrated, but I could read them to you or we could do this from the video. I thought it was interesting. In his famous letters from prison, Bonhoeffer argued that stupidity is a more dangerous enemy... Sorry for the guitar. ...of the good than malice.

22:01 Because while one may protest against evil, it can be exposed and prevented by the use of force. Against stupidity, we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here. Reasons fall on deaf ears. Facts that contradict a stupid person's prejudgment simply need not be believed, and when they are irrefutable, they are just pushed aside as inconsequential, as incidental. In all this, the stupid person is self-satisfied and, being easily irritated, becomes dangerous by going on the attack.

22:44 For that reason greater caution is called for when dealing with a stupid person than with a malicious one. Okay So I would keep I don't care about the guitar this is good stuff. Yeah, so here's here's the second part It's it's really only the last one is just a short ender And here he explains that this is not a Not because these people aren't intellect—it's not an intellectual problem, but it's a moral problem. Stupidity is, in essence, not an intellectual defect, but a moral one. There are human beings who are remarkably agile intellectually, yet stupid, and others who are intellectually dull, yet anything but stupid.

23:27 The impression one gains is not so much that stupidity is a congenital defect, but that under certain circumstances people are made stupid, or rather, they allow this to happen to them. People who live in solitude manifest this defect less frequently than individuals in groups, and so it would seem that stupidity is perhaps less a psychological than a sociological problem. It becomes apparent that every strong upsurge of power, be it of a political or religious nature, infects a large part of humankind with stupidity. Almost as if this is a sociological-psychological law, where the power of the one needs the stupidity of the other.

24:16 The process at work here is not that particular human capacities such as intellect suddenly fail. Instead, it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power, humans are deprived of their inner independence and, more or less consciously, give up an autonomous position. The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind us from the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him as a person, but with slogans, catchwords and the like that have taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused and is abused in his very being.

25:02 Having thus become a mindless tool the stupid person will also be capable of any evil Incapable of seeing that it is evil You know just hearing this from the guy who observed it firsthand hits home for me. It's great There is I was I was one of these stupid people when I was in college at the University of California Berkeley No, gee I wonder what if there was any influence there were you part of a group of stupid? I'm looking back on it. So, there's a third kicker? Yeah, it's 23 minutes. Well, of course you want to know what can you do? I mean, clearly arguing against this. And by the way, looking at the group context, an argument can be made to say MAGA is also stupid. Could be. I think, yeah. We have to observe that. I think it's mostly UltraMAGA. It's UltraMAGA or nothing, baby.

CHAPTER 09 / 52 Discussion

External Liberation, San Francisco Mask Mandates

A discussion on Bonhoeffer’s theory of liberation leads to an observation about social behavior in San Francisco following the lifting of mask mandates. It is noted that residents appeared to remove masks in lockstep, suggesting that the behavior is driven by external authority rather than internal conviction. This "Simon Says" dynamic is presented as evidence of a lack of independent thought.

san francisco· mask mandates· external liberation· lockstep· social behavior

26:05 So, what can you do? How do you unshackle the stupid? Only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity. Here, we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it. Until then, we must abandon all attempts to convince the stupid person. So when I hear this, I'm thinking, okay, so what does this mean for the physical liberation of the stupid? Before you go on with that analysis, the last little thing he said, which was we should just give up? No, no, no, no, no, hold on here.

26:50 Until then we must abandon until that hold on becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it so has to be external liberation first before you can liberate even use before he said we must abandon listen to this he says Don't even try. No, he says no, that's not true, John. Listen, listen to the whole thing again. Listen. Only an act of liberation, not instruction, can overcome stupidity. So an act of liberation. If you let the whole thing play like you just said. He's coming. He's coming. Here we must come to terms with the fact that in most cases a genuine internal liberation becomes possible only when external liberation has preceded it.

27:37 Until then we must abandon all attempts to convince this stupid person. Okay, the way I hear that is these people cannot be freed internally until they've been freed externally. Preceding that he says until then everything... Yeah, I agree. But my point was and I was emphasizing was the fact that it's hopeless for anyone to try to push them in one direction or another because they're so stupid. But wait! You can't do anything. No, he says if you can... So we must abandon all attempts. No, he says if you can free them externally and I haven't thought about that. He never said you, if you can free them they have to be... the external freedom is not necessarily achieved by you. Agreed, agreed, agreed.

28:20 But I think there is something very obvious that is the external freedom that is still with the stupid. And we even recognize them as stupid. Masks! That is the external shackle of the stupid. And it's not like it's a lot still, but it's quite a bit. And it's enough for the stupid to make a lot of noise. And I think I have proof. But before you go on, I have to mention something, a local phenomenon. And Jesse and JC pointed this out at dinner. And it was that San Francisco, since they released their mask mandates, they're so stupid that you can go to San Francisco and nobody's wearing masks. It all took them off at once. Lockstep. Really? Yes. You can go to San Francisco, nobody's wearing a mask. And so... Well, then there's hope.

29:24 No. No? No, there's no hope because the thing is, it's a lockstep. Take your mask off. Yes. Put your mask on. Yes. Okay. Oh, right. Oh, okay. That's even better. It's worse. It's better but worse. It's better for the show. It's worse for humanity because that exact thing Simon says put your mask on, Simon says take your mask off, that is going to be codified and that's why Herr Fauci made a rare appearance on Fox News. Fauci on Fox News everybody! Let's look at that clip because Fauci says something here that just is the obvious. We saw right through it immediately but it is about the power to be Simon Says. So doctor, the

30:07 At the same time, the Justice Department is pushing an appeals court to intervene on this ruling that lifts mask mandates and public transportation, mass transit, that sort of thing. What do you think of that? Are you asking me what I think about the Justice Department appealing this court decision about pulling back? Exactly. You know, one of the issues, Neil, that I have articulated in the past, and I will in the future, it's less about mandates on the plane than it is about who It's about the power.

CHAPTER 10 / 52 Discussion

Anthony Fauci, CDC Power and Recommendations

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on Fox News to discuss the Justice Department's appeal of a court ruling that lifted mask mandates on public transportation. Fauci emphasized that the authority to make health decisions should remain with the CDC. He clarified that while mandates have been pulled back, the CDC still recommends wearing masks during air travel for personal safety.

29:24 No. No? No, there's no hope because the thing is, it's a lockstep. Take your mask off. Yes. Put your mask on. Yes. Okay. Oh, right. Oh, okay. That's even better. It's worse. It's better but worse. It's better for the show. It's worse for humanity because that exact thing Simon says put your mask on, Simon says take your mask off, that is going to be codified and that's why Herr Fauci made a rare appearance on Fox News.

30:07 At the same time, the Justice Department is pushing an appeals court to intervene on this ruling that lifts mask mandates and public transportation, mass transit, that sort of thing. What do you think of that? Are you asking me what I think about the Justice Department appealing this court decision about pulling back? Exactly. You know, one of the issues, Neil, that I have articulated in the past, and I will in the future, it's less about mandates on the plane than it is about who It's about the power.

31:08 the power of who gets to tell you what to do and he wants that to be with the CDC for for a moment there the CDC was the laughingstock it only lasted a week remember CDC says you know don't eat the brown acid because CDC flip-flopped back and forth so many times on this very issue so they want that power codified yeah well this has been going on with a bunch of uh Proposed laws for this and that it always has something to do with these health department weenies rat poop inspectors inspectors Let's see what this rat poop inspector actually what his personal preference is, but do you personally doc? I mean when you travel and we go around do you prefer wearing a mask yourself? I know you've avoided public venues of large gatherings. I think the White House Correspondents dinner comes to mind Do you still have those reservations even now? I

32:03 You know I do I mean the CDC continues to recommend that when people fly That they wear masks now the mandate has been pulled back on the decision of the court But that does not change the recommendation of the science email or my own personal preference when I travel on the plane given my evaluation of my personal risk and as a person of my age with or without underlying conditions that I feel that I would be much more comfortable for my safety and even for the safety of others to wear a mask. But that's a recommendation. That's not a mandate. All right, so it wasn't your way of saying you didn't want to be hounded by people who know you, right? I mean, you just wanted to keep that on for your safety. Just saying. I'm just throwing that out there. It certainly is. Idiots.

CHAPTER 11 / 52 Discussion

Pearson Airport, Canada Emergency Exercise

Authorities at Pearson Airport in Toronto conducted an emergency security exercise involving actors portraying anti-vaccine protesters. The exercise was designed to test the response to individuals shouting "freedom" and protesting travel restrictions. The simulation is described as dystopian and indicative of the current political climate in Canada regarding unvaccinated travelers.

canada· pearson airport· toronto· emergency exercise· vaccine protesters· freedom

32:54 Well, in Canada, they know fully well who has the power to tell you what to do. Vaccinated may not travel, unvaccinated to this day still may not travel on any public transport, airlines, trains, coaches, which is fancy for a bus. And just in case, just in case, the authorities are preparing for vaccine deniers and anti-COVID people protesting at airports. A scene unfolded at Pearson Airport today that could have fooled onlookers. So today we're having an emergency exercise happening. So we're testing our response to an emergency or security situation. So we've got protesters in the back who have been very enthusiastic about

33:46 Canada has already been assimilated! I mean this is... What's their problem up there? This is fantastic! So they, I mean, these are people and you literally hear them yelling, freedom, freedom! Yeah, these are the crazy fucks. They're just acting. But, you know, people might show up shouting freedom. So we got to be prepared for that. Of course they can hire these very same people to make it look like a real protest. As she said, oh, this could have fooled anybody. Or just use it as b-roll in the future. It's so dystopian.

CHAPTER 12 / 52 Discussion

Monkeypox Outbreak, Quebec Vaccination Campaign

Quebec health officials reported that monkeypox cases have doubled, leading to the administration of smallpox vaccines to high-risk contacts. The discussion explores the demographic spread of the virus and questions whether the symptoms are being confused with shingles or vaccine adverse events. Most cases are reported to be mild with patients expected to recover.

monkeypox· quebec· smallpox vaccine· shingles· gay and bisexual men

34:43 Yeah, it's unbelievable. Yeah, I haven't got any COVID stuff. Unfortunately, I'm glad you're picking up. Well, I do actually have two things, two things. There's some strong suspicion as I think when when this monkey pox bull crap first came out. It was immediately mentioned. Yeah, and I think there's some validity to the idea that This is now being touted as oh something you can get by the way It's only gay and bisexual men who and the bisexual men who get it They never have sex with women so nothing to worry about because they're bisexual. They only have sex with men That it's really intended to cover up

35:27 possible vaccine adverse events or shingles because the monkey pox and the shingles is fairly indistinguishable. I think you even brought that up. Yeah, it's because all these pictures they were posting, including one I ran in the newsletter, which disgusted a bunch of people. I refuse to do that again in the future. It was actually shingles. What's happening with Quebec? I mean, do they have another gay party up there? The number of monkeypox cases in Quebec has more than doubled from a week ago. Provincial health officials say 52 infections have been confirmed so far, up from 25 cases reported last week.

36:04 Quebec started administering doses of the smallpox vaccine in a bid to contain the outbreak. The shots are reserved for close contacts of high-risk people, people who are at high risk rather, of developing the disease. Experts say most monkeypox cases are mild and patients usually do recover. Must be super gay up there. I don't know how else they can get it. Israeli study? This links COVID vaccines to 25% increase in cardiac arrests for both males and females. Pfizer on the warpath, the Novavax vaccine, I guess

CHAPTER 13 / 52 Discussion

Novavax FDA Evaluation, Cardiac Arrest Study

The FDA is evaluating the Novavax vaccine following reports of myocarditis and pericarditis in other countries. Unlike the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, Novavax is a non-mRNA option. Additionally, an Israeli study is mentioned linking COVID-19 vaccines to a 25% increase in cardiac arrests among young people.

novavax· fda· myocarditis· pfizer· cardiac arrest· israel

36:49 Novavax stock bombed on Friday because data from the passive surveillance during post authorization use in other countries indicate a higher than expected rate of myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the vaccine, the FDA said. However, interpretation of these passive surveillance data is not straightforward. Further evaluation is needed to inform the risk associated with the vaccine and their outcomes. So everyone believes it'll get approved. Eventually. What is the Novavax? It's a non-mRNA, which is why it cannot get onto the market, of course. I do not know exactly what they're, but you know, Novavax, the Novavax from my day trading days, that was like, that was a dream stock. It's like, they'd always say, oh, here's a trial, failed, you know, shorted, boom, 50%, 50% off. Trial, buy, and then so just, you have to guess the top because once they announce that it didn't work. Yeah, that it sucks. It collapses immediately. Exactly, it's a great stock to short. And you could long it too sometimes.

37:53 The CDC is now sending monkey pox vaccine to people at high risk as you kind of just heard in that clip So, you know, there's there's some thought that this is I actually put that in the newsletter with a link to the story. Yeah, what's up with that? It's like what I mean just high-risk gays So all the gays are gonna get this stupid shot now? Give me a break. Well you can't on one hand say gay and bisexual men are getting it and spreading it and then not send them the vaccine if you're honest. Yeah but then again if I was gay or bi or whatever, say I was gay, you don't have to say it, just for the purposes of argument,

38:44 and they sent me this vaccine saying, hey, you know, you might get monkey... I wouldn't take it in a million years. This is some sort of scheme to get rid of all the gays. You'd be a great sugar daddy, that's for sure. With what? Would you like my gong? Well, I'd just like to remind everybody, when HIV... when the HIV crisis struck, The gays got AIDS. AIDS, you know, so there is a claimed relationship between the virus, the HIV, and the syndrome AIDS. And the thinking is that because the gays

Naomi Wolf, Pfizer Document Analysis

Dr. Naomi Wolf appeared on Del Bigtree's program to discuss her team's analysis of 50,000 Pfizer documents released via court order. Wolf alleges that the documents show the company was aware of serious side effects, including neurological harm and miscarriages, while continuing the vaccine rollout. She characterizes the situation as a "happenstance genocide" due to the intentional exposure of children to known risks.

39:31 had lived promiscuous lifestyles and certainly in the 80s a lot of drugs, poppers, meth. Bathhouses everywhere. That their immune systems were already kind of on the ropes and then along comes HIV. Also poppers. That's what I said, yeah, poppers. Hurting their immune systems. So they know how to create a crisis with the gaze. Because I believe that that was at least partially manufactured the way they presented it because there was a lot of immune system issues in general, so but that's just me Joining me though is my girlfriend Naomi Wolf. I cannot I'd say it before you do I cannot get enough of what she's doing

40:17 So she's like a cornerstone guest now on the war room with Steve Bannon, which is just the idea. I want everyone to understand. He's a horned dog, that guy. He just thinks she's pretty. But from a spectrum perspective, Steve Bannon, ultra-mega, Naomi Wolf, ultra-tard. I mean, it's mega-tard. It's this... Ooh. Ooh. Show title. You know what that is? That's a superhero. MAGATARD! MAGATARD! Exactly! MAGATARD! So here is...

41:02 Naomi Wolf now she's on with Del Bigtree who is the television producer who produced the doctors and many of these medical medical shows he's quite well respected and Here she is continuing her claims of genocide Initially before I saw the Pfizer documents. I thought comparing this to dr. Mengele and I should probably reiterate that she and her team at her company have been combing through the 50,000 Pfizer documents that Pfizer wanted hidden by the judge for 75 years and you know this these documents are available the m5m is not doing any work on it dr. no I would day and dr. Naomi wolf is initially before I saw the Pfizer documents I thought comparing this to dr. Mengele is rhetorical it's excessive there's no cause for now I've seen these documents she's a doctor Mingala yes she did

41:56 Initially, before I saw the Pfizer documents, I thought comparing this to Dr. Mangala is rhetorical, it's excessive, there's no cause for it. Now I've seen these documents, these people knew for 14 months to this day, right? They know that these injections kill babies, that these injections cause neurological harms, cause strokes, cause clotting. They know, you know, people I know are collapsing. And there's like a meme on social media of athletes collapsing. Doctors are mystified. The I looked at the SEC filings of bioNTech. One of the things bioNTech discloses to the SEC, but no one disclosed to you and me is that fainting so hard you could hurt yourself is a an identified side effect of injections, right? So what do you call that? I mean, they knew that babies

42:47 Were dying and they kept going they knew that people were having strokes and heart attacks But there was cardiac damage to kids and they kept going right and they kept saying yes, we're authorizing this for teenagers Yes, you're all through authorizing this for you know young children now. We want to authorize it for babies to five-year-olds we have never seen that before in history, but Genocide is narrowly defined legally as targeting a population that's ethnic or racial. That's just a legal definition in international law. But genocide, in terms of its root structure, means the killing of a people. Well, the intentional killing, intentional, it's intentional if you don't stop it, right? If you know and you don't stop.

43:29 And if you say, and even legally, right, a lot of the lawyers are looking at conspiracy, you know, RICO type things, racketeering. If you know there are dangerous harms and you expose children to them, that's a criminal offense. If you know that someone can get die and you do it anyway, that's at least medical malpractice, if not manslaughter. I mean, these are categories of harms we haven't seen before, but the effect is to target the human race. They're vaccinating everyone and they literally did not know what would happen except that they were seeing the tallies come in of people being injured, broken, miscarriages, abortions, spontaneous abortions and dead babies.

44:11 So yeah, I call it what I call it is it turns out there can be a happenstance genocide. You right? No me. She's one of the few. Yeah, yeah. Well, she snapped out of it. She was stupid once. Yes. Yes. We have to figure out what physical unshackling took place. I think it was. I think a lot of it happens from self realization. You know, actualization or self actualization. She was on her merry way as a stupid person and then she something she read or did or found out about and it's just wait a minute. It's the wait a minute someone's been lying to me.

Asia Foundation, Spook Tactics and Reflexes

A personal anecdote describes a former acquaintance's father who served as the head of the Asia Foundation, which is characterized as a CIA front. The host recalls how the man would perform a "karate chop" on his own knee to trigger a reflex whenever the host expressed a "knee-jerk" progressive opinion. This behavior is interpreted as a subtle psychological tactic used by intelligence-affiliated individuals.

46:58 I used to be, when I was at Cal and I think, I don't know when I stopped seeing, I had a girlfriend there whose dad was a head of the Asia Foundation. Oh, okay, that's a spook outfit. It's CIA front. Yeah, definitely. I didn't know. But to be honest about it, looking back on it, oh yeah. Yeah, not knowing what I know now and knowing he's still you know, okay. Yeah. Yeah, definitely But that's when the smoosh are more Republicans than they are Democrats. They are. Oh, yeah That's uncle Don's turf right there Asian Society the North Korea does the Korea he was the chairman of the Korea Society not a not a spook Yes, so here's so here's he did constantly do this when I was over at their they had a fancy of kind of a penthouse apartment and

47:51 And it was just off campus and I'd go over there and if I was ever talking about anything, this being at Cal Berkeley during the period where any time in history, let's face it. And so he'd cross his legs and he had his one leg crossed and then I'd be talking about something and then he'd take his hand like a karate chop and casually hit his knee and have his knee kick up, his leg kick up. Doing a reflex hit? He's doing, he's telling me, I knew what he was doing. He'd do it every, say something, bang, there it'd go. I'd say something, bang, there it'd go. It was the code for knee jerk.

48:34 Oh. Because I was just spewing like the stupid people do. Ah. You know, bromides. Oh yeah, we got to do this, we got to do that. Black lives matter, man. And every time I said anything, he'd just be slapping his little knee there and make his knee jerk around with a smile on his face. And that's interesting that constantly doing this while I'm there is very it's like borderline humiliating But I I thought he was a fucking old guy. What does he know? That sounds to me like a spook tactic How do you break a stupid person you need to control? First and that's it didn't work Well, it didn't work.

Dog Socialization, The Rescue Label

While getting a tire repaired, a host socialized a 100-pound dog named Phoebe and discovered the social power of the phrase "she's a rescue." The label reportedly facilitates long conversations with strangers and softens public perception of the large animal. The segment includes a brief interaction with the live chat room regarding the "riveting" nature of the tale.

phoebe· dog training· rescue dog· austin· texas· social interaction

49:19 Well, he definitely had that little gag that he liked to pull. Speaking of Magatard, the three best words in the TARD dictionary ever? She's a rescue. What? She's a rescue. She's a rescue? Yes, I had to... My front right tire, I've run flats, but you know, I had a nail in it. And I don't think they can repair those, you have to get a new one, and it really sucks. And I have to drive to Austin, I got a lot going on this week. So the only time I really could do this was yesterday, which screwed up my taping with Mo, a whole bunch of stuff. So I've been socializing Phoebe, the dog.

50:04 And I, and I saw it, okay, this will be a big trip. It's 45 minutes to the dealership. We drive there. And you know, she's still kind of in training and you know, hopefully she's going to be civil about it. Um, and you know, this is how I get out of this car with this hundred pound dog, man, every single person, she's beautiful to look at. People say, oh, that's great. What kind is it? She's a rescue you say that your people will both sit down with you. We'll talk with you. Oh my god It's so fantastic so great you rescued her and they'll tell you the whole dog story I was not bored for the whole two hours. I was there. It's a beautiful sequence of words. She's a risk Okay, now I know what you're talking about. Yeah Wow yeah, I

50:48 I mean, I'm impressed. Women, dudes, you know, the Mexicans are the best. They're like, hello mamas, hello mamas. That's what they call the dog. And they all do it. Hello mamas. I'm not sure what that means. Jesus. Hello mamas. There's a million ways I could go with that. Yeah, all you have to say is she's a rescue. You know, you can... Okay, okay.

Fox News Grammar, Amber Heard Background

The show corrects a previous critique of a Fox News anchor's use of the word "verbatim," noting that "verbate" is not a standard verb. The conversation shifts to Amber Heard, with claims about her father's history in dog fighting and illegal gambling. A specific detail is mentioned regarding Heard's insistence on keeping Johnny Depp's Yorkie during their divorce.

51:29 Yes, well sarcasm is the key to the understanding the troll room And Good news we were correct to ridicule the the Fox News model on the use of the word verbatim Okay, I'm all ears many people's many people sent it in said it was entirely incorrect and Because verbatim is an adverb, verbate is a verb. So she could not read it to us verbate, she could have said, I will verbate it to you. Ah yes, yes, yes, yes. So thank you. Exactly, I agree with that, yep. Yeah, so... I will verbate. We were correct to ridicule the news model. I felt so bad about it. You know, Jeffrey Toobin likes to verbate. He's a master verbater.

52:21 Yeah, yeah, yes All right as we go. Yes. Yeah, we're down there all right you pick up because you brought in brunetti and Alex well I got these pictures this morning. I had to I had to discuss him okay, all right Alex is a charmer by the way. She's the best yes throw that in yes the not Russian Alex No, not to Russian one by the way. She got to meet amber heard when she first hit Hollywood and Oh, and did she have any good stories? She thought she was a jerk. Ah, well there you go.

53:00 My wife, who's... I told you she's not... Yeah, we know. Yes, she's... She's not. She's obsessed. She says that Amber Heard's dad was a dog fighter with a kennel of like eight or nine dogs. He's a real lowlife and he also ran an illegal gambling parlor. You don't say. For poker, wherever they were living at the time. And got busted more than a few times, but always got off. And that the key, the kicker, according to Mimi, was that Amber made a big fuss about making sure that when in the divorce settlement that she got, she got Johnny Depp's Yorkie. As practice. And the Yorkie has never been seen her since. Yeah. Here, fight this thing. Oh my goodness. Pitbull against a Yorkie.

US Volunteers, Ukraine Extremism Warning

The Department of Homeland Security issued a bulletin warning that Americans volunteering to fight in Ukraine could bolster domestic militia and white nationalist groups. The report specifically mentions the Azov Battalion and its neo-Nazi ties. Concerns are raised that the combat training received abroad could be used for extremist activities upon the volunteers' return to the United States.

53:53 Well, I'm glad Mimi's keeping tabs on that for us. Somebody's got to. And every time she says, what? What? It's really appreciated. Very much. All right. What else you got? Well, let's go to Ukraine if you want. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah. I got some Ukraine stuff too. I got a couple of Ukraine things. Let's start with the mercenaries clip. Ukraine mercenaries. I think it's the US mercenaries. Yeah, I got it. Video footage purportedly shows US volunteer soldiers shooting a rocket at a Russian armored vehicle in Ukraine. Oh yeah. This follows a Department of Homeland Security warning that Americans volunteering in the conflict could increase extremism at home.

54:39 The Homeland Security Bulletin was obtained by transparency group Property of the People. The Bulletin says some Americans were recruited by Ukraine's Azov Battalion, a group that has drawn controversy over its neo-Nazi ties. The DHS based its assessment on open source information as well as customs and border protection agents encounters with Americans departing for Ukraine. The department says they are concerned that training received in Ukraine could be used to bolster U.S.-based militia and white nationalist groups. Oh, God. Please. Come on. RT this morning.

Crimea Strike Threat, Javelin Battery Issues

Reports from Russia Today suggest that Ukraine may backtrack on promises not to use U.S.-supplied weapons to strike Russian territory, specifically Crimea. Additionally, accounts from mercenaries in Ukraine claim that advanced anti-tank weapons like Javelins are often unusable because they lack necessary batteries.

crimea· kiev· russia today· javelin missiles· batteries· mercenaries

55:18 So take that for what it's worth. Published, Ukraine backtracks on promise to US. Kiev may strike Crimea, despite assurances US weapons will- I mean Kiev might strike Crimea. Yeah, Kiev might strike Crimea. That's what I just said. What is Kiev? What's Kiev got to do with... That means that with our... the missiles that we just are sending, that they're not supposed to strike Russian territory. I would say arguably Crimea is. Yeah, I would say. So they're now saying Kiev may strike... like Washington DC. The actual missiles don't come from Kiev. They come from the command from Kiev, from the guy in Poland. So they think they're gonna... oh, this could be.

56:05 So that but the the headline for RT Russia today is Ukraine backtracks on promise to you. I thought they said Russia. No Ukraine Ukraine backtracks. Exactly what they promised wouldn't happen. Of course. It only took three days after the show for them to backtrack. I'm surprised it took that long. Yeah, you're true. So let's go this one. There's another little tidbit besides sending him all kinds of fancy gear. By the way, so there was a thing on CBS this morning that showed, I didn't get a clip of it, I'm gonna probably put it on Thursday's show, where they have some Americans that have gone over there, obviously, and fighting for the Ukrainians. The guys on the show with... It's advisors, they're training? Yeah, no, these are mercenaries. Oh, okay, yeah, black rock. And the guys over there going, with all these missiles, these tank-destroying things, whatever, javelins or whatever they are.

CHAPTER 21 / 52 Discussion

Drone Shipments, Military Industrial Complex

The Biden administration plans to provide Ukraine with advanced drones capable of carrying Hellfire missiles. Former Pentagon official Andrew Exum notes that the level of U.S. military support has reached a "high watermark" compared to previous conflicts like the Syrian civil war. The hosts argue that the U.S. is sending older equipment to justify ordering new replacements from the military-industrial complex.

biden administration· hellfire missiles· drones· pentagon· nato· syria

56:54 He says they don't work. He says they all need batteries. Are there not batteries? Yeah. Oh wow, what a faux pas. Yeah, faux pas. Here's the Ukraine drone. This is a drone story. The Biden administration wants to give Ukraine drones, which can be armed with Hellfire missiles. If Congress approves, that would be a significant upgrade from the smaller, shorter range drones Ukraine already has in its arsenal. And it's on top of President Biden's pledge earlier this week to ship advanced rocket systems to Ukraine. But has military support for Ukraine from the US and NATO peaked? Andrew Exum is a former senior Pentagon official and contributor to The Atlantic. He believes the US spending on Ukraine may have hit a high watermark. He joins us this morning. Thanks for being here. Yeah, happy to be here.

57:41 So, why do you think the tolerance for this level of spending is wearing thin when it comes to the US and NATO support for Ukraine? Well, I think if we take a step back and we marvel at what we've done already. I mean, bear in mind, the last time I served in government, Russia invaded Syria or came to the aid of the Assad regime. And between 2015 and 2017, we went to every available means not to kill any Russians over Syria, which is of course where we were fighting the Islamic State at the time. Fast forward seven years later, we have been shoveling some of our most advanced weapons systems, anti-tank weapons systems, anti-aircraft weapons systems into Ukraine. It's really remarkable. Did he say most advanced?

58:26 Yeah, he said most advanced. That's not the... we're not shoveling the most advanced stuff their way. We're shoveling the turds. Well, generally yeah, but this predators on these little drones might be pretty... might be good. Yeah, no, I... we're not... the most advanced, geez, I guess, no, there's no way. No, the whole point is to now... for us to now order. We're supposed to order the new most advanced. That's what's going on. Yeah, from the military industrial complex. This is the litany. So I don't know what's going on with what they're trying to tell us. This is the last clip. This is Ukraine. There's an interview with this guy Sikorsky, a Polish guy who's been in the government on and off in different positions. And of course, the Poles, we have to realize, hate above all people, really hate the Russians the most because the Russians have really treated them very poorly.

CHAPTER 22 / 52 Discussion

Radek Sikorski, Hungary Oil Sanctions

Radek Sikorski, a member of the European Parliament, criticized Hungary for using its veto power to extract concessions on Russian oil sanctions. Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban defended the move as necessary to protect his citizens from rising energy costs. The hosts question the logic of sanctions that appear to harm the sanctioning nations more than Russia.

radek sikorski· poland· hungary· viktor orban· russian oil· sanctions

59:18 And, uh, but this is kind of a funny clip because it's like, what are you, what are you telling us here? For more on what victory in Ukraine should look like and today's European sanctions on Russia, we turn to Radek Sikorski, a member of the European Parliament who's held a number of senior positions in the Polish government, including defense and foreign minister. Radek Sikorski, welcome to the NewsHour. What's your response to Europe's steps today to ban all sea-based Russian oil from coming into Europe after a compromise with Hungary? Well, I wouldn't call it a compromise. Hungary has simply used its veto power to extract a concession which I think will be used to make money. Hungary actually has a pipeline to the Adriatic Sea and it could import its oil from there but it chooses to import it from Vladimir Putin. It's another

1:00:12 sign of Hungary breaking EU's and NATO's solidarity on this war. Is Viktor Orban being honest when he says that his opposition to this plan was based on avoiding oil that would be more expensive for his citizens to pay? Well, no, he's right. There will be a price to pay for the sanctions. But the point is that it's better to pay this price rather than have Putin on NATO and EU border in a few months or few years time. Oh man. Wait a minute, Russia's on NATO's border now. On the border! And NATO's the one pushing toward Russia, so what's different? How's Russia going to be on the border of NATO when NATO's trying to be on the border of Russia? That's bullcrap.

1:01:02 A and B, what's wrong with protecting your own people? A sanction, when we sanctioned Cuba, for example, we sanctioned Iran, it wasn't to hurt us. We're not going to have to take a knee because we sanctioned somebody, which is what's going on. When you're sanctioning someone, it's supposed to hurt them, not you. What kind of stupid sanction? That's the question. What kind of stupid sanction? do you make that hurts you more than it hurts them? Well, this is done by stupid people for stupid people. That's the theme for the show. Stupid. Stupid. The show is stupid. Well, let's listen to the hero of the stupid as new video has emerged of the conversation between Mika Brzezinski, daughter of the old Brzezinski, well known, look him up,

CHAPTER 23 / 52 Discussion

Ursula von der Leyen, Mika Brzezinski Interview

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen appeared on "Morning Joe" to discuss the "existential fight" for democracy in Ukraine. During the interview, Mika Brzezinski and von der Leyen shared a personal moment regarding Mika's father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, whom von der Leyen knew well. The hosts mock the elite social circles and the "unity" narrative presented in the segment.

ursula von der leyen· mika brzezinski· morning joe· zbigniew brzezinski· bucha· ukraine

1:01:51 and Queen Ursula of the European Union. This is all about solidarity. So I'm curious, this moment with such unity in Europe hasn't come without a lot of pain. So if you could talk about... Even that by itself, such unity has not come without a lot of pain. Oh, the pain is only just beginning. So I'm curious, this moment With such unity in Europe hasn't come without a lot of pain. So if you could talk about the Ukrainian determination, you were there with that remarkable meeting in Kiev with President Zelensky. Are you inspired, even motivated in your decisions by the determination and the will of the Ukrainian people? Absolutely.

1:02:32 I was before Easter in Bucha in Ukraine and I saw with my own eyes the body bags lined up. I saw the mass graves. I saw the destroyed houses but also hospitals, kindergarten. It was awful. But at the same time I saw the bravery of the Ukrainian people and the hope they put into the idea we will make it as a sovereign and independent country. Then I met with President Zelensky, I'm constantly in touch but I met him in Kiev. and his leadership is outstanding. So it is an enormous motivation because they are not only fighting for their lives and their values, they are also fighting for our values and therefore we have to support them and we are supporting them. It could be argued they're fighting for the safety of the world. Absolutely. Will autocracy win with the aggression of Russia?

1:03:29 or democracy. Will there be the rule of law which we defend or is it the right of might that will be the defining factor and therefore it's an existential crisis, an existential fight and it's wider than Russia or Ukraine. It matters to all of us. Okay, hey existential, hello Ukraine, meet climate change. Existential, but you know they're really fighting for the world. Autocracy versus democracy. Yeah, in your own country, and we were hypothesizing about Mika and Ursula knowing each other from the tennis club and their dads probably hung out. Oh, we weren't even close. We weren't even close. What? Do they know each other carnally? Thank you so much for joining us on Morning Joe. It's a pleasure. Thank you for having me.

1:04:21 I was talking to David Ignatius yesterday and he knew my father really well and I was watching you and my father at the Brussels Forum in 2015 and David was reminding me how pleased my father would be at some of the things that have happened at this moment in history and that is a strong Europe. His dreams for a strong Europe in a post-Soviet era are finally happening and he would be so pleased to see you in this role. But it's so wonderful to sit next to you because indeed I knew your father very well. I mean, I was and am in awe what his knowledge is concerned and his ability to analyze, fantastic. And now to sit here with you is amazing. It's a drop. No, no, no. He would be and is certainly so proud of you.

1:05:09 Well, to answer your question... Get in a room! Yeah, to answer your question, I could see where they might hook up on the down low. They look, they both look at, look to type. I think Joe Scarborough, Joe Scarborough should be a little worried. He'd be watching, he'd be in the corner watching. This reminds me of a Friends episode. Hmm, okay. Yeah. Oh, the, the Ukraine's Commissioner of Human Rights? was kicked out of the government over the following comments which were chronicled by Deutsche Welle. Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights tells me the sheer number of calls makes them think Russians are using rape as a weapon. When a Russian soldier rapes a Ukrainian woman, a girl, a boy, an elderly woman, they keep saying things like, this will happen to every Nazi whore, or we will rape until you can't give birth to Ukrainians.

CHAPTER 24 / 52 Discussion

Lyudmila Denisova, Rape Propaganda Playbook

Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights, Lyudmila Denisova, was removed from her post after making graphic and unverified claims about Russian soldiers using rape as a weapon. The hosts compare these allegations to the 2011 propaganda used against Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, which included false claims about soldiers being distributed Viagra to facilitate systematic rape.

lyudmila denisova· ukraine· rape· propaganda· viagra· libya

1:05:09 Well, to answer your question... Get in a room! Yeah, to answer your question, I could see where they might hook up on the down low. They look, they both look at, look to type. I think Joe Scarborough, Joe Scarborough should be a little worried. He'd be watching, he'd be in the corner watching. This reminds me of a Friends episode. Hmm, okay. Yeah. Oh, the, the Ukraine's Commissioner of Human Rights? was kicked out of the government over the following comments which were chronicled by Deutsche Welle. Ukraine's Commissioner for Human Rights tells me the sheer number of calls makes them think Russians are using rape as a weapon. When a Russian soldier rapes a Ukrainian woman, a girl, a boy, an elderly woman, they keep saying things like, this will happen to every Nazi whore, or we will rape until you can't give birth to Ukrainians.

1:06:08 These are signs of genocide of the Ukrainian people. So even the elites thought that went too far. Like, no, no, no, you can't be talking like that. So she's out. It's gone beyond, you know, it's gone worse. I think it's gone worse. If you remember, or member, if you remember the Libyan situation when they had this phony baloney just to get rid of Gaddafi, they were talking about handing out Viagra. Remember that? That's right. Yeah, just so they could do it. Oh, yeah, soldiers are handing out. They had to be agra They're all jacked up and so they hit they had to rape. Oh my goodness. Let me see Yeah, I remember that I remember It's like let's see hold on a second Hold on

1:06:59 Hold on, hold on. This is from... Oh, here we go. Libya. Libya is a unique opportunity for propaganda because the Qaddafi regime maintains such an information vacuum. That is, no independent press, people afraid to talk candidly on the phone, so many street informants that it's dangerous to even talk candidly on the street or in cafes. In that atmosphere, there's a real opportunity for other parties to throw up their own stories. Hmm. I don't I can't find it, but I absolutely remember the stories. It was always yeah, they given him Viagra such bullcrap Yeah, but was it was it Libya or was it Syria? I'm trying to know it was Libya believe me might have been both

1:07:57 No, Syria wasn't brought up to cover. The Libya thing was hot and heavy for a short time. That's when NATO, by the way, I don't know who were they protecting, why were they there? What was the point? But no, NATO was put, you know, we fronted NATO, you guys go do this, we'll take a back seat. And so, you know, we were leading from behind, as it were, with Obama in the background and Hillary Clinton spearheading the whole idea. And NATO just blowing the place up and it was like it was legit because of these these Soldiers as Libyans was all jacked up and raping their raping was going on So it was the Libyan thing needs a little more study that was it and how does that have anything to do with the you know? The section of the of the treaty or what was NATO doing anything with Libya are Nick Robertson Nick you had a chance to speak with the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court

1:08:50 the issue being Gaddafi, the Libyans, what they're doing. What did he tell you? Here we go with Nick, Nick Robinson. One of the things he wants to investigate now, he says, his priority is to investigate allegations of rape. Rape that may be systematic and rape that's being assisted, he said, by the distribution of Viagra- There you go. Viagra-like products. Your no agenda show at work, ladies and gentlemen. That was from show 305, 2011. So, and listen to who's... this is the propaganda twins, Brolf and Nick. Yeah. So it's just part of the narrative they always bring in, I guess. It's in the playbook. It's in the playbook, exactly. What's interesting to me, you mentioned Poland, mistreated by the Russians.

CHAPTER 25 / 52 Discussion

Poland-US Relations, Visa Restrictions

Despite Poland's significant role in hosting Ukrainian refugees, the country remains excluded from the U.S. visa-waiver program. This exclusion is attributed to long-standing tensions in Congress regarding Poland's historical role during World War II. The hosts note that Poland and Hungary are often criticized by the EU for exercising their sovereign veto powers.

poland· visa-free travel· congress· world war ii· hungary· veto

1:09:45 But Poland is pretty much universally hated by all Jews in Congress, particularly the muckety-mucks in the higher-ups. You know, remember maybe a year or maybe a couple years back there was, you know, Poland has to repent for the concentration camps and they were all pissed off at Poland? Yeah. I remember all of it because that's the reason that Poland, and to this day as far as I know, isn't one of those visa-free... Right. Right. You can come to the United States but not the Polish. No, no, no. You got to apply to get in. Yeah, that's what it is. Exactly. And that's because of the Jewish members of Congress who are irked at the Polish and the Polish are seen as... I remember this when I was a kid.

1:10:33 The Polish were seen as the guys who coddled Hitler. They never were on Hitler's side, but they, you know, give us your Jews. Okay, kind of thing. That's a great opener. Well, it's interesting. I mean, is Poland not repenting by doing this? They've done as much repenting as they can. Yeah. I mean, this is a good example, but I don't believe that this is part of their repenting. I think this is just them. They don't like the Russians. No, but I mean, shouldn't the pissed off members of Congress recognize this? The way they see it is the following. Hey, the Poles don't like the Russians. It's got nothing to do with us.

1:11:19 No, this is pretty, this is a bunch of... Because they get no props, they get no props for taking everybody in. No, no, no good. Nowhere do I see, I don't see, I don't see Poland's good anywhere. Not good enough. It really isn't. Poland should at least give a thumbs up or something from Ursula. Two thumbs up? No. Now then they're also kind of fussy. They're a little bit like Hungary when it comes to like, you know, going along with the program, whatever we say goes. That's what Hungary did just recently. They were this guy's bitching on this clip that I had, which is, oh, no, that's Hungary. They're using their veto. Well, if you have a veto,

1:11:59 Well, you're never supposed to use it. If you have a veto and you want to use it, you use it. That's what vetoes are. Yeah. Dirty Poles using their veto. They use a veto too, and so does the Hungarians. One of our producers sent a couple of clips from the Mark Ames show, I think. I don't know if you heard those, but I listened to him and I thought it was kind of interesting because they're talking to a reporter and I can't actually find who it is, but who's in... I think he is an M5M reporter, but he's or was, and he's in Kiev and he talks about the hotel that the whole media is in.

CHAPTER 26 / 52 Discussion

Premier Palace Hotel, Ukraine Corruption Report

A reporter describes an incident at the Premier Palace Hotel in Kiev where Ukrainian soldiers and police seized the property from its owners without paperwork. This type of "muscle" tactic is described as a common method for oligarchs to settle property disputes in Ukraine. Despite many Western journalists staying at the hotel, the incident was largely ignored by mainstream media outlets.

kiev· premier palace hotel· oligarchs· azov· corruption· journalists

1:12:41 You know, it's apparently a nice swanky hotel, of course. This was always during the Iraq War, remember, they all in the same hotel. Right. And CNN was in the basement with the green screen, or back then the blue screen, the blue screen. But it was really eye opening about what is not being reported on, particularly as it pertains to things the Ukrainian army is doing. I'll see if we if we'd like what we're hearing here. Where did you stay? I mean like did you stay in a hotel in Kiefer? Did you stay in notice? He says Keith like a somebody's apartment or how'd you how'd you like that in Kiev? I stayed at a hotel I'll tell a little anecdote about the premier Palace Hotel where a lot of journalists were staying at I came down one morning

1:13:26 from my room and there was like a hundred plus soldiers and police just like camped out on the ground floor of the hotel. And they were everywhere throughout the hotel and it's a kind of a fancy hotel. They were hanging out, sitting on the grand piano, smoking cigars in the smoking room. It was like an occupation. I had no idea what was going on. I asked the receptionist, because these guys had just come off the front lines. You could smell it on them. They smelled like dirty laundry, stale cigarette smoke. I asked the receptionist what's going on and he's like, ''Oh, it's no problem. They just want to talk to somebody who's here.''

1:14:09 And Ukrainian forces had put up like these banners in the hotel, like showing what I gather was like the ownership structure of the hotel. And basically they had come to seize this property in a very dramatic way with a large force. And I could not figure out at all what was going on. Like I asked you know, Ukrainian people that I knew, like what's going on here? And, you know, one woman told me that, hey, this is typical for Ukraine. Like sometimes properties change hands without any, you know, paperwork being signed or without any deals. Raids, I mean, yeah. And you use muscle, you use, that's where like a lot of these Azov and right sector guys, you know, that was their job before the war in Donbas started was,

1:14:56 working with oligarchs to physically seize other oligarchs properties. So this clip tells me a couple of things and I do have short follow-ups. One, the mainstream is not reporting but you know, duh, surprise surprise. Two, The European Union, the United States, the United Kingdom, the whole world is really abusing this country. It's just a shithole. It really is. And I hate to say it, but it's, you know, not for the people, but it's been so corrupt for so long, mainly by us. that, you know, it's a free-for-all now. Now everyone's just grabbing everything they can. We'll just take this hotel, we'll take this. And it's the way it always goes. There's no ownership, there's no paperwork. We just take it. We say it's ours. And of course, the M5M is not reporting on this. I gather there were a lot of other Western journalists in this hotel. I mean, none of them pursued that story? Yeah, there were a lot of Western journalists there from major publications.

1:15:57 And yeah, like I said, I couldn't find anything about it afterwards. Wow. Yeah, well, you end up with a bullet. You know, you got to report on this stuff. Could be that. It's basically that level of corruption where you, you know, it's like reporting on the drug, you know, one of the worst jobs as a journalist is reporting on the drug cartels in Mexico. Yeah. You know, you get shot eventually. You gotta be careful, you know? And so this is the same thing, it seems to me. I mean, that's why you don't...reporting and also the mainstream media itself at the editorial level, you know, they've decided that they're going to have a united front.

1:16:41 And the United Front doesn't account for stories like this. No, you can't run that story because it takes away from our united front. We're all pro-Ukraine. Let's change our, put a little flag for our Twitter icon and the whole thing. It's no, you can't do this. And so it's just basically a corrupt system. The mainstream media is as corrupt as the entire Ukraine government. Sure. And with that I'd like to remind everybody that this is a Value for Value podcast. You will never hear this. Here's evidence. You'll never hear about any of this on any mainstream M5M reporting. Don't hang around Newsmax or Fox News too long either. You're not going to get that. We can do this work because of the producers who give us time, talent and treasure. And therefore I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the C in the drug cartel reporting, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. Dvorak.

CHAPTER 27 / 52 Discussion

Value for Value, Fediverse Expansion

The hosts discuss the "Value for Value" model and the growth of their Mastodon social media instance. There are rumors that Donald Trump's Truth Social may eventually federate with the wider Fediverse. However, concerns are raised about the technical impact on disk space and server stability if a massive platform like Truth Social joins the decentralized network.

1:17:39 In the morning to you, Mr. Adam McCreary. Also in the morning to all ships that see boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, and all the dames and knights out there. And in the morning to all of our trolls in the troll room who have been hanging out patiently. Although I don't know how many we had earlier. There's one less because I kicked somebody out. So let's see what we have right now. Come on, trolls. Put those hands up. I see you scurrying away. Yeah, this is feeling better 2232 2232 this is good. We're starting this is this is This is more like a Sunday should be that's right. That's right exactly right now. I mean the high was much higher than that I know what why do you say although? What do you although although? What we were pushing 3,000 I know no we'll get back there. I have faith faith

1:18:31 The trolls hang out to, well, to troll, obviously, and a lot of people like doing that. It's completely anonymous. You go in there, you troll. You can troll for good, troll for bad, do as you wish. You can do it during live shows that are on noagendastream.com, 24 hours, 7 days a week, the best podcast discovery network in the universe. We'd like everyone to hang out at trollroom.io. You've got the chat there, you can listen and troll. That's exactly what it's for. Or you can go ahead and you can subscribe or follow John and I on our Mastodon instance, which is johncdvorak at noagendasocial.com or adam at noagendasocial.com. I heard, by the way, through the grapevine

1:19:14 from the dudes named Ben, that there is indeed some talk inside President Trump's Truth Social to federate across the Fediverse. That would be a smart move. Since they're also using Mastodon. Well, yes, it's a smart move, but it really depends because if we federate, just as an example, if we federate with the Truth Social, the issue is disk space, the way Mastodon works, because the The Fediverse feed comes in, there's so much on images, etc. Oh yeah, but... So we'll see, I mean we'll see. There's ways to limit it. It'll fall apart. It could also blow the whole thing up. It could collapse. It could collapse the whole thing. The Fediverse! The Fediverse is collapsing, ladies and gentlemen! Anything could happen. Well, it's a fun experiment. I remember when I was a kid, we had something called the Fediverse.

1:20:10 Yes, the Fediverse. Tell us about it, Gramps. The Fediverse. And that's a good, you know, those are good accounts to follow. It's just, you know, more and more I find myself just saying, yeah, follow us. I'm adam at noagenosocial.com. I don't give it, you know, I don't talk about getting a link or anything. People know about it now. It's getting out there. But there's still, I think even Even the Magatards are probably not stupid in the Fetaverse. If you're in the Fetaverse, I don't think you're stupid. But maybe you are. I don't know. You don't know that. I don't know that. I don't. Big thanks for his talent to, oh yes, Sir Paul Couture, who in fact is the artist who set up the original and the still current No Agenda Art Generator.

CHAPTER 28 / 52 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Sir Paul Couture

The history of the No Agenda Art Generator is reviewed, highlighting the contributions of Sir Paul Couture and Randy Asher. The hosts discuss specific pieces of artwork, including the first piece from episode 207. A lighthearted debate ensues regarding the depiction of the hosts' hair and physical height in various artistic interpretations.

paul couture· randy asher· no agenda art· episode 207· breathalyzer· hair

1:20:59 Noahjenderartgenerator.com. The original was also done with, I always forget his name and I don't even know if he listens to this show or not, Randy Asher. Now what did Randy set up? Did he just set up the original? The original, there was one before this. Oh gosh, I don't even remember that. Well, what do you take a look at when this started showed that some show number and before that there was another? kids like a another operation another website that collected the original the first art that we started putting up and Randy Asher and Paul put together that and then Paul put together this the fancier one right the the first piece of artwork that went up on no agenda art generator comm was episode 207 and

1:21:44 Yeah. And it was you and me in the car and you apparently are blowing into the breathalyzer to get the car started. Oh, okay. Yeah, that's because you're the one that's drunk and I have to cover for you. Yeah, there you go. No, you're behind the wheel. Oh, okay. Well. So Sir Paul Couture sent, now first of all we chose his art Because I think it was because it was the best not because we're throwing him a bone Correct. It was the best art for the episode. Yeah, it was also cheesecake It partially it was also stolen as comic strip blogger was happy to point out to me but was it really because

1:22:25 The microphones, the hair on my mic, the lack of hair on your mic, and also notice you're shorter than me, which I think is appropriate. Yeah, I am. You're 6'1". 6'1". 5, I'm 6'1". 6'1". But it did skirt the rules, and we did not check it on the way out. Because the girl and the palm and the surfboard... Yeah, I would assume that he didn't draw that, but there's just a microphone with the wig on it. And I thought it was a problem. You said, oh, the hair, you know, I said, well, microphones don't have hair. I didn't say that, but I'm thinking it. Microphones don't have hair, but they could wear a wig and so can Adam. And I'm sure when he's older, he'll be wearing one. I don't think so. By the way, in those pictures Brunetti sent me, your hair is still rocking, brother. It's not too bad. It's just a delight.

1:23:16 Hey, I'm a hair expert. I still have hair. Yes, you do. And it looks good. This is a compliment. I'm not bullshitting you. Well, thank you. Thank you very much. It's meant to make you feel good because it's true. Yeah. You're like my real wife. I can't say anything nice. We were at this place, it was out in the middle of nowhere. It's called Oberge Soleil. It's a one-star Michelin. And so the parking lot looks like a used car lot from the Mercedes-Benz company. I'll bet. Yeah. I've never seen so many. Eddie Maybox? Any Maybox? My box? No, it was not that high end. Dana left his at home, huh? Dana left his at home?

CHAPTER 29 / 52 Discussion

Dana Brunetti Truck, Episode Art Selection

Dana Brunetti's massive Ford 450 truck is described as an "ultra-tard mobile" that intimidates other drivers. The hosts also review the art submissions for the current episode, including a depiction of Janet Yellen and a controversial "Mona Lisa" piece. They ultimately select Sir Paul Couture's work while acknowledging the creativity of other producers.

1:24:01 No, Dana drives around a giant 450. A 450? It can tow a trailer from a, you know, it's like basically a truck. It's a truck, yeah. It's a truck and it's this giant thing and he and it also does he got a bunch of he showed some he's got some gimmicky thing you push a button all the lights go nuts but It's like he said the guy freaked out because he has the valets, he had the valet at the valet. So this is the guy who just freaked out. What am I supposed to do with this? It's like a mile up in the air. I mean, it's unbelievably big, this truck. And he drives it everywhere. This is what he drives. He drives it into town, he drives it down to LA. I don't know what the deal is with him and this truck. I know for sure now. Dana Brunetti is... Ultra-tough!

1:24:56 He's got the ultra-tard mobile. He crushes Priuses in his way. Yeah, he definitely likes to smash things. Got another Tesla. Tesla's the furthest thing from his mind. So we're very appreciative and nice to see art from Sir Paul Couture. Now what was the issue is, yeah, we didn't like any of the other stuff. No, we did. Well, not good. I mean the one I liked the most, which we both agreed was just it might not hit, was the green helmets by Capitalist Agenda where it's Janet Yellen with inflation bopping off her helmet. I love that one. But it didn't look enough like Yellen to me. Well, I used it as the pre-art this morning. I came across it again. Like, this is too funny.

1:25:47 So, and then there's... I like the... Yumsky. Yumsky. Yumsky. We both like Yumsky. Which is like a Russian bear-like soldier, I guess, getting ready, is licking his chock. Kosak. Kosak, I'm sorry. Getting ready to eat a baby, which is on his plate. He's got the knife and fork and the naked baby. Even for us, that was going too far. But that was the one we liked the most, that we laughed the hardest about. Yeah, it was very funny. It wasn't much else. I mean, I did use again Paul Couture's Pride No Agenda, the disco ball, which I thought was well done. And so I used that on the newsletter. There was some other stuff that was, you know, it was here and there. But yeah. Did everyone think, was everyone talking about Mona Lisa? Because I, Mona Lisa, was that

1:26:47 No, the Mona Lisa's because we talked about the guy throwing a pie at her. And then you saw Parker Pauly's Mona Lisa with the two cupcakes for the breasts. Yeah, I thought that's... I didn't like it. No, you didn't. You didn't not... You didn't think it was good. You didn't think it was appropriate. No, it was not appropriate. It's very lewd. A lot of people were disappointed we didn't have a Mona Lisa art. That was just the vibe I picked up. I don't know. You know if we used the Mona Lisa art we would get a note from comic strip blogger. I stole an art. You stole Leonardo da Vinci art. Everyone knows this is a real painting. Congratulations to Sir Paul Couture. Thank you to all the artists for putting up with us and accepting the feedback.

I don't know. Congratulations and thank you very much for your support of the show and this is indeed an instant nighting, or instant night donations. Happy to give you your new business karma. Thank you again. You've got karma. Mark Hardwick is up and he's also in Texas. He's in Aledo, Texas, but they make the Aledo shifter. 666.66. Now there's something here. I don't know if he's on the birthday list, but I specifically asked Eric to put him on it. Let me check. And he would have put this in yellow. And I think he's saying, I don't think so.

1:30:29 I and this is belated 66th birthday. That's what the sixes are about. I TME writes last week was my 66th birthday. So here is your 666.66. It's my second donation. I need to be de-douched. That we can do. You've been de-douched. It will also move me to knight status. Please knight me as Mark of Parker County, Texas. Keep up the great work. Seconds. Last week. Okay, so it was last week. He was not on the list. No, I didn't think he was. 66. That's not fun. Let's see why he's not on the list. Back office issues. And does he need any... He doesn't need a car or anything? He's good with his... I think his knighthood thing will be fine as long as he got his de-douching. Yeah, he got his de-douching. Troy Whitmore is in Toronto.

1:31:34 Ontario, Canada, 610. Born in 61, turning 61 today on a show day. It seemed perfect time to reserve my... Another birthday, I bet she's not on there. Okay, hold on a second. You're right. Oh man, I got a lot of work to do while I'm reading. I'll read. Okay, please do. It seemed the perfect time to reserve my seat at the round table. This donation of 800 Canadian dollars, generously accepted at par, is long overdue. I've looked forward to each show since the beginning. It's easy to look out at today's world and think to yourself, I must be high.

1:32:16 Thank you for providing a corrective lens for an insane world. Please knight me. Sir, I must be high. Which should be a comma in there. Sir, I must be high. Hosting our first NOAgenda, I Must Be High Toronto meetup on Friday, June 10th at McSorley's Wonderful Saloon and Grill. I've been to that place as a matter of fact. Outlets details on the NOAgenda meetup page. No jingles, no karma. Sincerely, Troy Whitmore. I am really high. Now, typically, the $800 donation, which is Canadian dollaroos, would be listed as 800 on the spreadsheet. Has this changed? My experience with this phenomenon is that he can take that credit himself because he's doing the bookkeeping, but unless it jumps somebody into a category, it usually doesn't get listed as the Canadian amount.

CHAPTER 34 / 52 Discussion

Show 1500, Producer Credits

The hosts look forward to the upcoming 1500th episode and the 15th anniversary of the show in October. They encourage producers to list their "Executive Producer" credits on professional platforms like LinkedIn and IMDB. The "Value for Value" model is emphasized as the primary driver of the show's independence.

show 1500· 15th anniversary· producer· linkedin· imdb· value for value

1:45:57 And that's our list of executive and associate executive producers for show 1450... what is it? 757. I want to thank each and every one of them for making this all possible, especially for their generosity. Working towards show 1500 and our 15th anniversary all taking place this year. Yeah. Probably just before the midterms. Before the demise. Shall be interesting. Thank you to the... Yeah, most of it's in, usually October. I know the anniversary is in October. That's before the midterms. The 1500 should be sometime after the election. No, I thought it came really close to October 28th. They're within a few weeks, but there's an offset. Oh, there is? Which grows, I think, one show every year or something like that. Oh, we're like a leap year. Yeah.

1:46:48 Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers, highly appreciated. These are credits we don't just hand out, you have to earn them and you do that by sending your value back at these levels and that gives you the title and you're entitled in fact to use these anywhere that they are recognized. We already discussed IMDB, that's where you'll find Dana Brunetti but you'll find many others in there as well. Your LinkedIn profile, put it on your t-shirt for all I care. This is important. Let people know that you are an actual producer of a real media property. No joke. We'll vouch for you if anyone questions it. If you'd like to learn more, go to our website. Dvorak.org slash N-A. Thank you again for your time, talent and treasure for producing episode 1,457. Our formula is this. We go out, we hit people in the mouth. Order. Shut up, babe. Shut up, slave.

Mork and Mindy, 1970s Energy Crisis

A clip from a 1979 episode of "Mork & Mindy" features Robin Williams as an alien discovering the 1970s energy crisis. The dialogue mirrors modern concerns about fossil fuels, oil company profits, and political influence. The hosts reflect on Robin Williams' personality and the relevance of 40-year-old television scripts to current events.

robin williams· mork and mindy· boulder· colorado· energy crisis· oil companies

1:47:52 Just a quick little 70s throwback, a little fun stuff to listen to, to get us in the mood for the Great Reset and the propaganda that's been going on for 50, 5-0 years. Hit it. Wait, set up. This is from a very popular TV show in the 70s, not just in the United States, but I recall watching it in the Netherlands as well with subtitles, Mork and Mindy. Mork and Mindy, Mork was of course played by Robin Williams. Now did you also know Robin Williams? I know Mimi knew Robin Williams. Yeah, no, he was over at the house actually. So was he a libtard back in the day? He was always kind of a libtard. Yeah, I figured as much. But he was a very depressive guy. But he literally had one of those switches, you know.

1:48:51 He goes from just being... Morose is a better word. He's always morose, very morose. I don't know. He's like Eeyore. Right, but then the switch goes on and then he becomes the insane guy. He lights up the place. Yeah. This is an episode from September 16th, 1979. And for those who have never seen this before, Mork is an alien from Ork, the planet Ork, and he lands in an egg. I know, it's 70s TV. I know it's hard for some millennials. It's like, what? And he, of course, experiences the world as an alien. And he's very... It's amusing. It was an amusing show. And he crash-landed in Boulder, Colorado, of all places. And so Mindy took him in, and they're all aware that he's an alien. But he is very concerned with the 1970s. Yes? Pam Dauber, played by Pam Dauber. Correct. And the scuttlebutt was always, did he ever go to bed with her?

1:49:48 Oh, do you think? Do you think? It's open for debate and no one has ever made a conclusion that she won't say. Hmm. That was Mark Harmon's wife? Pam Dauber? Wasn't it? I don't know. I don't remember. Maybe I'm wrong. She was single at the time, so... Fair game, fair game, Mork. Here he is discovering, as he just heard on the news about the energy crisis in the 1970s. The world as we know it is coming to an end. Right, you see I went downtown to buy a book, the Life and Hard Times of Princess Raniere of Monaco. And there plastered over every magazine and newspaper was, Energy Crisis! Don't panic, don't panic, remain calm. Energy crisis, big deal. Big deal, it is a big deal Mr. Smarty Pants Republican. Unless we find an alternative source of energy for oil, we have to conserve. And that's why I was out making darn sure we conserve.

1:50:47 Oh, Mork, what were you doing? Well, I shut out all the street lights in downtown Boulder. Took out all the traffic lights, too. I'm gonna kind of miss them, though. Red, yellow, green, such festive colors. They were so pretty. People used to stop their cars and watch them change. Mork, I... Relax, okay? Relax? Relax? How can I relax? M'nidda's a world beyond! I love Lucy! Don't you understand? We're running out of fossil fuels! There are only more dinosaurs dying and dinosaurs still in residuals! Don't you understand? It's a whole different world! And pretty soon, a hundred years from now, they'll be drilling into cemeteries looking for oil! How'd you like us to concede the advertising slogans now? Put a relative in your tank and then have testimonials? Hey, I got 20 miles to the Gatling using my intestines!

1:51:26 Mork, there is an energy crisis and in 50 or 60 years we probably won't have any more oil. A lot of people believe that the oil companies are just using scare tactics so they can hike the prices. Somebody's getting very rich at our expense. I don't understand. Why would someone else want to get rich at someone else's expense? Let me put it to you this way. Some of us believe the people who own the oil are shaking down the rest of the world. Oh, that's why they call shakes for their booty. As long as the oil companies keep backing the politicians, well... So what's so funny about that? Nothing. Sound familiar? So this is interesting for a couple of reasons. One is that MeTV and Televisionland and a number of these networks, they're genuine networks, MeTV having about five outlets,

CHAPTER 36 / 52 Discussion

WKRP in Cincinnati, Trilateral Commission

The hosts discuss the quality of 1970s sitcoms like "WKRP in Cincinnati," noting that they often contained edgy or conspiratorial themes. One specific episode is mentioned where a character explains the "New World Order" and the Trilateral Commission. These older shows are praised for their writing and lack of modern political correctness.

1:52:25 are all on over-the-air television. If you have an antenna and you put it up onto your 4K TV, you will get a lot of shows. And a lot of these shows are from the 60s, they're playing I Love Lucy's, the 60s, 70s. They just started running WKRP in Cincinnati. ♪ I'm living on the air in Cincinnati. ♪ Which you watch these shows and the WKRP episode, sometimes it's riveting because it's like, This is interesting because you can start to see the reruns of today's memes and the bull crap and what you just played is a good example. And I don't know that these, and the people who have over the air, and they usually don't, you can cut your cable in some parts of the country because the over the air can be over 100 channels of this sort of stuff, and it's old.

1:53:18 But it's relevant and sometimes you look at it and go, why can't they do TV like this? This is good stuff. This is very funny. It's compelling. The jokes are better. They had better joke writers. It's not politically correct, so it makes it a little edgier. I think it has some societal effect. People have sent me over the years many times. It's too long to play because it's like a five or six minute scene. I think it's either the sales guy from WKRP. I don't think it's the weather guy, but one of them goes off on how the world is a new world order controlled by the Trilateral Commission. Like the entire thing all the way through. You know, just it was only missing the Bilderbergers. By the way,

1:54:06 Hey there, congratulations Luke from wearechanged.org. He's the only guy that's out there as far as I know in DC at the Bilderberg conference streaming live showing the hotel. Gotta love him for doing that. I wanted by the way, I wanted to be Attendees list is published. I have it. I was gonna go over some of the names on it But unfortunately, I didn't do that for the today's show, but it's very it's kind of interesting some of the people they've got I believe I there's a lot of the same old same old Kissinger's there Eric Schmidt is there? Yeah, there's a lot of regulars. I have the I have the list here. I

1:54:44 Good. Let's go through it. Okay, I'll just give the titles. We don't need to do all the names unless they recognize them immediately. Former chairman of Deutsche Bank, Deputy Secretary, Department of the Treasury, current, Jose Manuel Alvarez, Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union, then you get Sam Altman, the CEO of Open AI, Anne Applebaum, staff writer for The Atlantic, who doesn't know her. Social Democrat Party member, I think that's from maybe Denmark. Director General of UNESCO. By the way, before you go on, so The Atlantic was mentioned in one of the earlier clips. The Atlantic is pretty much owned by... Jobes. Lorraine Jobs. Jobes.

1:55:38 I'm... this has become kind of a oddly corrupt publication so far as not corrupt in the sense that they're in the old-fashioned sense but in the sense of being stooges for the government messaging. You mean a group of stupid people? Yeah, and do you think it's... I don't know but is it... they would have the skill set I think at the at the quote-unquote agency to like cajole somebody like her Oh, yes. She's also a part of the Global Citizen outfit, which includes a lot of the same people who are at Bilderberg. And that's where Mika interviewed Queen Ursula, was at the Global Citizen event. So this is all tied in. And at Bilderberg, CIA Director William Burns, just to complete your thought there.

1:56:32 Of course, we also have the media there, the chairman and CEO of Axel Springer, a huge media group in Germany. Oh, monster. Monster is correct. We have many bankers, the Center for New American Security, we have the CEO of Pfizer, of course Borla is going to be there to take his instructions, this is how we talk, the chairman of Heineken, Oh, there's the CEO of Palantir Technologies who doesn't know them. Shocker. Spyware of the elites. Let's see what else is here. Oh, Thomas Lyssen who was the chairman of DSM who just merged with a Swiss company. I don't think we talked about it.

1:57:22 These are the guys that used to be a chemical company in the Netherlands and they're now the 8 billion dollar leading producer of taste and texture for soy and plant-based food. So there's that. Shopify CEO, editor-in-chief of The Economist. Oh yeah, what's her name? What's her name? Zanny. It's her name is Annie Zato's beta or something like that. She's the one who ruined the Economist. We talked about it. Yeah, you do. Petraeus, who by the way is the chairman of KKR Global Institute, whatever that means. Petraeus is at the meeting? Oh yeah.

1:58:05 Petraeus was on the morning show today, the CBS morning show that runs on the weekends, talking about Ukraine with the... I don't know, I don't know what this guy's even... why this guy's even in any of these circles anymore. It hasn't been expunged as beyond me, but okay. In fact, the Democrat Party used to call him Petraeus. Petraeus, yeah. There's a couple other interesting people here. Prime Minister of the Netherlands Mark Rutte, seniors see the Hudson Institute, of course there's Eric Schmidt.

1:58:42 Former CEO and chairman of Google. There's Kevin Scott, CTO of Microsoft. Hey man, the metaverse is going to help us take over those stupid people. It'll be easy. They'll be with the headsets on. Peter Thiel, of course. Peter Thiel. Yeah, what Peter Thiel's got to do with these guys is... Oh, this Palantir is, you know, he's the... Oh, that's right. His deal, yeah. We got... He's in up to his neck. Emma... Oh, yeah. Emma Walmsley, CEO of GlaxoSmithKline. Peter Winnick, president CEO of ASML. These are the guys that make the lithography possible for chips. So these are movers and shakers. This is not just a bunch of dicks, wouldn't you say? No, there's not a bunch of dicks. They're all high-end. Now whether this is still just really... We had high-end junkies on the last show. These are high-end dicks. High-end dicks. And so it's still...

1:59:39 Remains to be seen whether this is an influential group that actually does moving and shaking or just likes to drink possible and so Rutowski's out there reporting with his live stream and the first report that comes in last night is He reported that, I forget which hotel it is, they're all holed up in a hotel in Washington DC, security's around, you know. So we got the live stream on the front gates of Washington security, see if we can see any of these Maybachs come in with somebody who was elites for the Bilderberg conference. And you know what came in last night? A whole bunch of male prostitutes, to which I say, it's DC. Hello. I think you can go in front of any hotel any night of the week and find male and female prostitutes going in.

Audi Green Police, Clean Diesel Scam

A 2010 Audi Super Bowl commercial featuring the "Green Police" is revisited in light of the subsequent Volkswagen emissions scandal. The ad humorously depicted a society where citizens are arrested for using incandescent bulbs or plastic bottles, while promoting "clean diesel" as the ultimate environmental solution. The hosts highlight the irony of the ad given the massive fraud later uncovered.

audi· volkswagen· clean diesel· super bowl· green police· scam

2:00:24 Sodom and Gomorrah there in DC. So we heard we heard from sorry I was just thinking it's like, yeah, yeah, what a great place. It's dynamite. So that was the oil crisis, the energy crisis on television in the late 70s. Let's go to 2010. This show was around, we commented, and this was just trending again. Tina sent it to me, and of course I recognized it immediately. This was the 2010 Super Bowl commercial from 12 years ago. This preceded, I gotta tell you the punchline before I play it.

2:01:02 This was the promise by Audi Volkswagen to produce the clean diesel engine vehicles. Which of course we later discovered was a huge scam. It almost bankrupted the company. People had to go. Huge fines I think are still being paid. And this is how they presented their green, clean diesel engine to the world. Okay, so it's 3708. Paper or plastic? Plastic. That's the magic word. Green police. You picked the wrong day to mess with the ecosystem, plastic boy. Battery! Battery. Let's go, take the house! Grind down! Sir, that's a composting bird!

2:01:49 Oh! Did you install these bulbs? No. Tragedy strikes tonight where a man has just been arrested for possession of an incandescent light bulb. What do you guys think about plastic bottles now? The water setting is at 105. You got a TDI here? Clean diesel. You're good to go, sir. Good afternoon officers. Those styrofoam cups you're drinking from? Yeah. Please step out of the car and put them on the hood. The Green Police. This is just so beautiful to see that they were just liars. Liars like everyone else with all this green stuff. We got to do this more often. Go back and see what they promised and what they actually delivered. In this case, it was a known scam from the get-go.

Toyota Mirai, Hydrogen Fuel Experience

A listener shares their experience leasing a 2018 Toyota Mirai hydrogen fuel cell vehicle in California. While the car offered significant rebates and free fuel, the infrastructure was plagued by offline stations and freezing fuel nozzles. The report concludes that hydrogen will not be a viable alternative to gasoline in the U.S. without a dedicated pipeline system.

toyota mirai· hydrogen· fuel cell· california· torrance· infrastructure

2:02:48 Yeah, exactly. Those little diesel engines, since I've driven a few of them when they were the hottest, they went like a bat out of hell. Yeah, they were great because there was no limitation on them. They were just smoking hot. I wish I could still get one. I never believed in my life I would ever drive a diesel that had that much power. I wish I could get one of those still. Although diesel I thought when they were banning him and they're recalling him and taking him back and I said you somehow get a hold of one because those things really were fast you'd have to go a Registered to in a state where they didn't have to check the damn engine all the time because it would fail. Yeah, but yeah, I mean I would back in the wagon Volvo had him. Yeah, I can have a lot of them had these little inches that were really amazing products think meet you Bishi I had a meet you Bishi. How is that it was I

2:03:39 It was a, in Europe, it was a Mitsubishi Gallant diesel, turbo diesel. And that was pretty impressive. I guess that was Mitsubishi and Dodge probably worked on that together. And I've always wanted to have to own another diesel, but these days the prices I mean and I'd love to run a biodiesel But the salad oil is more expensive than diesel now. Oh, it's unbelievable since we're on the topic I do want to read a note from Steven see you do want to read owned he had a I didn't know that you could do this because I knew they would pass through but I didn't know you could actually get a hold of one to drive around which was I want to give personal experience with driving a hydrogen car. Oh yes! Release the 2018 Toyota Mirai.

2:04:30 The incentive sounded great. $7,500 California clean air rebate, five minimum fill-ups and a credit card for $15,000 from Toyota for hydrogen fuel during the duration of the lease. That sounds like I would do that. It was a cool vehicle with some funny quirks. Flooring it would make some very strange sounds. I've reported on this. What I could only describe as a pumping and whooshing. Flooring it on the freeway was hilarious. This part I didn't know. It was hilarious because watching cars behind us turn on their wipers as the Mirai would blast them with exhaust water. Huh? Because when the hydrogen goes through the fuel cell. Yeah, water comes out. Where's the water go?

2:05:19 So there's a 2022 model of one of these. Well, there you go. Then comes refilling. Yeah, it only takes five minutes to refill from empty, which is pretty quick. But when there's 10 cars in front of you, you do the math. And by the way, imagine that with half-hour electric cars, okay? What they don't tell you is how much maintenance these fueling stations require. The hydrogen is trucked in with diesel trucks and stored at such high pressures that they're constantly replacing seals and when they do the station goes offline for days. Each vehicle has a fuel app built in but for more accurate station info, and then he's got a website. This app would tell me how much hydrogen a station has if a station has 300 kilograms

2:06:06 and that's the way they do it, in kilograms. That means it is at full capacity. If it has less than 50 kilograms or less, you're pretty much rolling the dice if you need to refill. A Mirai fill-up was about five kilograms, that's a full tank of hydrogen. As a bonus on hot days, the hydrogen, I can see this happening, as a bonus on hot days, the hydrogen nozzle would freeze into the fill port of your vehicle because of the chilling effect of the, Common process. Yes, he's like this. He says fun in our area of Southern California There's only one hydrogen pipeline is located where the former Toyota dealers used to be in Torrance or headquarters However in Japan Toyota is building a hydrogen infrastructure with pipelines in my opinion Hydrogen will never be a viable fuel in the US without pipelines

2:06:56 All the best, Stephen. Wow, so this is I'd never heard of this vehicle and the Mirai XLE has an EPA estimated range of 402 miles on a single charge. That's a big deal. That's a huge deal. Yep. It looks nice. It's not cheap though. Starts at the the base model which does 357 miles is let me see I think is for you 49,500 if you want something snazzy You're starting at the limited or the XLE of the XLE, huh? 49,500 76 miles per gallon and the limited which I guess has a little more performance $66,000. Hello. That's a jump 67 miles per gallon

Elon Musk, Tesla Layoffs and Biden Reaction

Elon Musk announced a 10% reduction in Tesla's workforce, citing a "super bad feeling" about the U.S. economy. President Joe Biden responded by highlighting investments from Ford and Intel, wishing Musk "lots of luck on his trip to the moon." The hosts speculate on Musk's ongoing battles with the SEC and his potential role as a leader for the "blind and stupid."

elon musk· tesla· layoffs· joe biden· sec· twitter

2:10:38 So let's go to electric vehicles then for a moment as the as Elon Musk. Hey, how's that Twitter deal going? Has he destroyed Twitter yet? He sent a note to his employees. It was quite the quite the talk on CNBC. He feels super bad about the economy though He's cutting 10% and forcing everybody to work 40 hours a month a week. Well, it's horrible and And so he doesn't like the way the economy is going. This came up in a Q&A with the president, who fielded the question quite well considering his mental state. And here's some audio of it, including the question. Elon Musk has said that he has a super bad feeling about the US economy. He's paying off 10%. You say Elon Musk, and then his feeling about the economy, J.B. Dynon has said similar things.

2:11:28 Well, let me tell you, while Elon Musk is talking about that, Ford is increasing their investment overwhelmingly. I think Ford is increasing the investment in building new electric vehicles, 6,000 new employees, union employees, I might add. in the Midwest The former Chrysler Corporation still on this they are also making similar investments in electric vehicles Intel is ready 20,000 new jobs for making computer chips So, you know lots of luck in his trip to the moon. I mean, I don't I mean So what why did he say that first of all, he's going to Mars not the moon. I

2:12:12 I think it's part of the either the Artemis project or something there is a moon trip. Oh, so is he getting his contract cut now that he had a big mouth? He's got a big mouth. The one that I'm more interested in is the, he's called out the SEC as a bunch of I don't know what he's called him names. He's literally which is not a smart thing to do typically my experience since I worked in the government and I've worked with guys who are who worked in the government lots of them and I know what type of mentality is there it's like the

2:12:49 little Napoleons, little Eichmanns kind of guys. They'll take, they get a, as the term would be, a hard-on for someone and they'll start going after them and making their life miserable and they can do it from a bureaucratic position. They haven't done this with Musk and I think it's gonna happen and he's gonna be apologizing profusely and he's gonna shut up. Maybe not. Maybe he says, I got more money. He's got $277 billion dollars as his net worth, more or less. changes on a day-to-day basis, but that's it. And so he's, you know, up there. And so he could drop billions into fighting him. And just as a mean-spirited person, I don't know. I don't know how, you know, he's gonna be... He's asking for trouble. I don't know why he just doesn't shut up and enjoy himself. Well, you know, my stance is because he's already on the payroll and he's doing this with a purpose. And he's leading the blind and the stupid.

Swedengate, Egalitarianism and Food Culture

A viral trend known as "Swedengate" explores the Swedish cultural habit of not feeding guests' children during family meals. Historian Richard Tellstrom explains that this stems from a sense of egalitarianism, where parents do not want to create a sense of debt or inequality between families. The controversy sparked widespread debate on social media platforms like TikTok and Reddit.

sweden· swedengate· egalitarianism· reddit· tiktok· hospitality

2:17:35 interesting aspects of day-to-day life which are I don't know how to even describe this one this is like a screwball story but you'll get a kick out of it Swedengate 1 NPR. Swedengate worthy of a scandalous name or is it more of a tempest in a teakana? You have found something that is very Swedish and a very Swedish cultural way of thinking and having relationships with each other. That's Richard Tellstrom, historian and researcher of food culture at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. We called him because strangers on the internet have found something new, again, to rile their indignation, and this time it's about Swedish food culture. It's not about Sir Strumming, that odoriferous fermented herring that's considered a delicacy there. Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. What the hell did he say? Showing his elite knowledge of food? What was he talking about? That rotten fish that they bury and then you eat it.

2:18:37 ...and this time it's about Swedish food culture. It's not about Sir Strumming, that odoriferous fermented herring that's considered a delicacy there. It's the Swedish habit of not feeding other families' children when they're over to play and mealtime strikes. Someone on the discussion site Reddit mentioned having experienced it. You can guess the rest from Twitter to TikTok. Hashtags flew and voices were heard. Growing up as a child, it would be really common to go and play at your friend's house and then they would be like, oh, I'm just going to go and have dinner. I'll be back in 30. And they would just leave you in their room. That's Swedish pop star Zara Larsson and a TikTok addressing Swedengate.

2:19:18 Professor Telstrom also remembers the practice from his own childhood. It was quite common, and I have been waiting in many rooms for my friends to finish their meal. And this is now a controversy somehow? Yeah, it's a big scandal, but it's the But I think the origins of the scandal that are interesting to me because we've all known about the egalitarianism, which is part of the Democrat ethos, by the way, you know, equality as opposed to liberty. Equality and justice is Democrat. Liberty and freedom is Republican, which is the real philosophical differences between the two.

2:20:02 But egalitarianism always leads to weirdness. And in fact, I remember the first time I flew on Icelandic air, I was being flown over so I could have gotten a business upgrade. No, no, everybody has to be in the same class. No, no, everyone's saying you can't have new classes. Oh, my God. No, it was egalitarian. And the same thing when you go to Sweden, you have to you have to understand this is egalitarian thing. And this is what they're talking about here. And but the rationale for it is is pure idiotic idiocy. Let's say, OK, we asked him why a country that tops the rankings for happiness and family friendliness might seem so stingy in their hospitality.

2:20:46 He pointed us to Sweden's noted egalitarianism. If your kids come home and eat with me a lot, then suddenly I have provided them more than you do for my kids. There is a sort of inequality. And this equality thought is very important up here in Sweden. So I help you by saying that no, your kid has to go home and eat. because then you don't owe me. And he says to be sure the practice is far less common than it used to be. Since food has become a new symbol in society, we have open kitchens, we like to dine and show off, kids are watching MasterChef.

2:21:32 So food has a totally different meaning today compared with what it had 40, 50 or 60 years ago. Richard tells Tremalto pointed to a small benefit to waiting in a room for your friend to scarf down lunch. You could look at the things, you could look at the magazine. Go through their stuff! See how they were living in this room. So it was quite interesting to spend your time there for seven or eight or nine minutes or what it took to eat. Or you could listen to BJ Lederman who writes her theme music. Yeah, that's the way they finish it. Huh. The more you know.

CHAPTER 44 / 52 Discussion

Social Responsibility, Subway Attacks and Trash

The hosts discuss the decline of social responsibility in major cities, linking it to the expectation that the government should handle all public services. They cite recent attacks in the New York subway and the prevalence of litter as symptoms of a mindset where individuals no longer feel compelled to intervene or maintain their environment.

new york city· subway· trash· social responsibility· government· equity

2:22:12 So I've been thinking about this because I think it relates... Because recently there's been these attacks in the New York subway system because there's not enough police, because they've cut back on the police in New York. And so there's people literally getting attacked on the subway. Nobody... With regularity. Nobody does anything about it. And I think this is the trend that this egalitarian idea, which is really rampant in Democrat-controlled areas because they push it more than anyone. And the idea is why should I do anything when the government should be doing it? And if you start thinking about certain things that don't get done because nobody wants to do them, or they just like a days ago, they just don't want to get involved and all the rest, if you think that the basic thought is the government should be doing this. The government should be doing that. Here's an example. When I am out and I walk the dog, if I see trash, I pick it up.

2:23:10 Bring it home, and I throw it out. Yeah, I believe the trash is there first of all because someone threw it out thinking the government will clean it up and everyone else looked and went the government will do that yeah Yeah, I think that's exactly right. And it's like the government should do this, the government should do that. Why should I do it? Because it's just like the Swedes thinking, why should I be feeding their kids? Now it becomes unequal. It's not equitable. There's no equity here. I feed their kids, they don't feed my kids. So it's unfair. It's unfair. It's unequitable. Interesting. So I just thought that was an extension of what's to come. Yeah.

Jacinda Ardern, BlackRock Meeting

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern visited the United States for trade talks and a meeting at the United Nations. During her trip, she met with Larry Fink, the CEO of the $10 trillion investment firm BlackRock. The hosts criticize the meeting as a potential "sell-out" of New Zealand's interests to global financial elites.

2:23:52 Well, skipping ahead even, the Prime Minister of the socialist New Zealand country, I like saying it that way, Jacinda, Jacinda came to America and now that she's She's unleashed the masses. I guess they can travel. She's traveling and she went all around. She was talking to everybody, went to the UN. She was maybe on the Late Show, I think, or is going to be on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert. And she's having a good little time. She brought along a whole bunch of, you know, it's a, of course, it's for the The Chamber of Commerce obviously, this is, you know, America's very important country for us and, you know, the Socialists went to lots of important people. For Ardern, New York was meant to be about trade and tourists.

2:24:40 After her COVID nightmare back home, this morning she woke up finally here in the city that never sleeps. Here to buddy up to the states and open more doors to trade. Prime Minister, how's your day going? Oh, it's busy but fantastic. Like the doors to $10 trillion investment firm BlackRock. But Ardern is not just a brand ambassador, she's the Prime Minister with power and those she's meeting know it. She had a little meeting with Larry Fink over at Black Rock. Oh brother. Yeah. Now why would she need to go there? No reason except to sell out her country. I'm gonna show my school by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. On No Agenda morning. Yes, and in fact we do have a few people to thank for show 1457.

Ben Shapiro, Blue Nile Ad Segue

A new segment titled "What's Wrong with Podcasting" features a clip of Ben Shapiro criticizing the ACLU's involvement with Amber Heard. Shapiro then seamlessly transitions from the serious political commentary into a commercial for Blue Nile jewelry. The hosts mock the "shameful" segue and the subscription-based model of the Daily Wire.

ben shapiro· daily wire· blue nile· amber heard· aclu· podcasting

2:30:27 Thanks to these producers who supported the show. This is this is the way it works. We bring you the value. We deconstruct. You can see that in our mission statement at noagenda.net. And you return that value in whatever way it works for you. Time, talent, treasure. We love the treasure. Put your and five dollars is just as valuable to us if it's valuable to you. That's how it works. The value for value. In fact, I want to call it the value for value standard. I'm working on this. Yeah, what do you think? It's kind of a ripoff. Well, since I think they were the ones promoting it the best, I would say that's probably, you know, I do have before we go into the thing, there's a clip that I should play because I have this new segment I want to do. And so we're talking about how to get money into the podcast so you can keep the podcast going, pay for the service, dad, do what you have to do. This is a new segment I want to do called the WWWP, which is what's wrong with podcasting?

2:31:27 And this is a short clip with... I like the segment already. Can we do it right before the podcasting 2.0 segments? So we have problem, reaction, solution? I don't know if it needs one. This is pretty good. This is Ben Shapiro talking about Amber Heard being named ambassador of the ACLU for being abused. And I just want you to listen to this short clip and tell me what you think is wrong with podcasting. The ACLU's bestowal of an ambassadorship inscribed for higher services upon a scandal plague actor willing to pay seven figures to transform herself into a victim's advocate and advance her acting career, her push for a publication date that coincided with the release of Aquaman. As part of the group's continuing decline, once a bastion of free speech and high-minded ideals, the ACLU has become in many respects a caricature of its former self.

2:32:13 This of course is exactly right, but so has large swaths of the left. The left used to say that free speech mattered and truth mattered, and now neither of those things are true. Now you're just supposed to shut up and believe. It's always to shut up and believe. That of course is the cause. The left used to think that things like free speech and truth mattered not so much. Anymore, but there is one overriding truth when you are buying something And that means my go-to is blue Nile whether you're ready to pop the question or you're just celebrating a milestone moment find jewelry as unique as she is with the modern convenience of online shopping at Blue Nile Okay, can I answer your question? What is wrong with podcasting? I love this segment. I

2:32:54 A couple things. First of all, what is amazing to me is the adulation that Ben Shapiro receives from real Republicans. And I'm talking about rich Republicans, elite Republicans. I know several. I go to their parties. I love them. But the adulation over Shapiro is mind-boggling because of this very clip that we play here who gives a shit about this story but then to fold it right in seamlessly as if the story was written to promote blue diamond, whatever, whatever this blue Nile, whatever this is, is incredibly lame shows that there's possible compromise and overall the daily wire, which is his outfit. I'm really disappointed in those guys. They have a

2:33:49 What I think would be a very amusing video documentary by Matt Walsh You know what what is woman and he goes all over the world talks to a lot of nut jobs There's tons of clips everywhere if you want to see it. I know I would want to pay money to I paid $30 to see 2,000 mules. Fine. I paid $30, you know, give me an opportunity to watch it and then determine what I thought it was worth and pay later. That would be the value for value standard. But no, you have to sign up and subscribe to the Daily Wire. So there's something wrong with them in general, although extremely successful. I think they're stupid. I think this is the Republican stupid.

2:34:33 Seriously, this is a great example. I can argue the point that Republicans are stupid. Yeah, that's pretty obvious. But at that piece, he goes right from one thing... I mean, the way he does that, that segue, is it... I mean, yeah, it's seamless, it's beyond seamless, but at the same time, it's shameful. Troll troll Logan five Adam careful this could result in a podcast war between na and Shapiro. Oh, please Oh, please Oh, please these people don't talk about us. We're way beneath them because Now it's a great time to buy gold

Bumblebees as Fish, Cockroach Milk

A California court ruled that bumblebees can be classified as "fish" under the state's Endangered Species Act to grant them protected status. The hosts also discuss a trending news item regarding "cockroach milk" as a potential high-protein alternative to cow's milk or baby formula.

california· bumblebees· fish· endangered species· cockroaches· milk

2:41:26 Wow, that's a coincidence. You don't have an ISO either? No. That means we get to go potluck with some old ISO. Or we could just use this one. I'm living in a twilight zone! Which we played earlier today. Yeah, use that's fine. I think that'll work. He hasn't gotten much love from us for a while. And we certainly do love Alex Jones. He's been instrumental to this program. Instrumental. I'm not sure about that. I think so. I think he has. Hey, what's wrong with this? This is, you know, it's bees today, it's bugs tomorrow. I'm not quite sure what's going on with California, but I love, and I've been waiting for someone to find a story about this that could play the clip from. This is what your state is doing. I'm living. Oops. Sorry. That too.

2:42:14 Bumblebees are now being classified as fish in California. They're protected as an endangered species. Until now, the state's Endangered Species Act only listed birds, mammals, fish, amphibians, reptiles and plants, not insects. A closer look at the definition of fish is the code includes mollusk, crustacean and vertebrate. So bumblebees qualify as terrestrial invertebrate under the fish umbrella and can be protected under the act. So there you go. Getting creative. How does that... that's very interesting. The bumblebee fish. We have a lot of bumblebees around my house. They're a really fascinating bee. I find it really interesting that they classify that as fish now. I mean, because then you can just classify bugs as fish. The pescetarians... It was for the good of the bumblebee. See, you're missing the point.

2:43:09 They had this poor bumblebee and they're kind of in danger because people keep whacking them with tennis rackets when they see one because they're easy to hit. And so we can't do that anymore. And so we had to do something, but then they figured out there was a white, we can't do that with bugs. And so they came up with a new, cause we want to protect everything here in California if we can. I was just on food. As long as they don't reclassify the cockroach. Well, oh, oh. I'm seeing memes now, the cockroach milking is trending, that you can milk cockroaches and it's more nutritious than cow's milk. Oh yeah, absolutely. I can see that. I can see it. You think that's true? I hope not. But it's trending. Cockroach milk instead of a baby formula. Get these kids started early.

Maricopa County, 2020 Election Records

Newly uncovered records from Maricopa County, Arizona, suggest that over 20,000 ballots were received after the legal deadline on Election Day in 2020. An investigation by Verity Vote found that many of these late ballots were counted despite the state's 7:00 PM cutoff. The report, aired by NTD News, notes that the margin of victory in the state was approximately 10,000 votes.

2:44:09 Just grind it, put the cockroaches in a blender, the milk will be in there, it'll be good to go. These new high power blenders, they'll knock that thing into oblivion. Will it blend? Will it blend? Will it blend? Oh goodness. I only have one last clip, I think it'd be a good clip, it's a little long. Okay. The Maricopa election fraud clip maybe just to give people a little idea that what's going on? Yeah, still going on these guys are still all these guys, you know, oh you mean the the stolen election stolen election? Oh, no. Oh, please don't say it So newly uncovered records from Maricopa County show 19,000 invalid ballots were counted in Arizona's 2020 general election

2:44:52 An election integrity group says the amount is enough to have potentially swayed results in the state's presidential election. NTD's Jeremy Sandberg reports. Arizona law requires ballots to be received no later than 7 p.m. on election day by the county to be considered valid. Yet, newly uncovered records document over 20,000 ballots were transported from the US Postal Service after Election Day, of which only 934 were rejected by Maricopa County. In Arizona's 2020 presidential election, President Joe Biden came in with 10,457 more votes than former President Donald Trump.

2:45:28 It is impossible to know if the results would be different if the late ballots had not been counted. Verity Vote obtained documents from the county and reported their findings. In response to requests, Maricopa County made ballot receipt of delivery documents available for public inspection from October 13th through November 6th, 2020. Verity Vote investigators noticed the documents from November 4th, 2020, the day after the election, were missing. It took nearly seven months to get the documents after Verity Vote made multiple requests to Maricopa County for the November 4th receipt of delivery. The receipt shows 18,000 ballots were picked up from the post office the day after the November 3rd election.

2:46:09 The county also documents receiving 1,000 ballots on November 5th and 1,500 ballots on November 6th, combining for a total of 20,500 late ballots, but the actual number could be much higher. A letter from the county recorder in response to Verity Votes document requests says the November 4th receipt provided does not represent all ballots received that day. Another anomaly is the number of ballots collected November 4th compared to other days around that time. Voters were instructed to mail ballots by October 27th to be sure their ballots arrived on time. By October 30th, the number of ballots coming by mail dropped sharply, but saw a massive spike the day after the election. Could you please tell me where this clip came from? Uh, Niu Tang Dynasty. Huh. So we have to get the news about our own country from the Chinese. Well, yeah.

2:47:05 It's related to epoch time, so. That's just sad, bro. Oh, bro! Yeah. Although it turns out that there was a... In Pennsylvania, there was a ballot stuffing operation being run by some Republican. Surprise! Both sides do it. Surprise, surprise. Of course both sides do it. We know it. Everybody knows it. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. All right, everybody, that's it for our deconstruction for today. But we look forward to meeting y'all back here on Thursday. Up next, we've got live on the No Agenda stream, Grumpy Old Ben's, the 2022 reunion tour. Oh my God. Darren O'Neil and Ryan Bemrose. Oh no. Oh my goodness. End of Show Mixes didn't receive any new ones, so you get a Jeff Smith extravaganza today.
