About this episode

President Joe Biden fell from a stationary bicycle in Delaware after his 1990s-era toe clips failed to release, an incident that serves as a metaphor for an administration struggling with verbal slips and policy reversals. While Biden characterizes Juneteenth as a response to a major massacre, his critics point to his confusing stance on China tariffs and awkward public condolences for a deceased corporate executive as signs of a deepening cognitive decline. These moments are contrasted with the rise of Mayra Flores in Texas, whose special election victory signals a massive shift of Hispanic voters away from the Democratic Party.

Public health officials at the CDC and FDA have unanimously recommended COVID-19 vaccines for infants as young as six months despite Dr. Peter Marks acknowledging a five-fold increase in myocarditis rates among vaccinated adolescents. In the Senate, Rand Paul confronted Anthony Fauci over $193 million in undisclosed NIH royalty payments shielded by the Bayh-Dole Act, suggesting systemic regulatory capture. Meanwhile, the World Health Organization is moving to rename Monkeypox to MPX to avoid stigma, even as the UK Online Safety Bill threatens to criminalize speech that causes psychological distress. Economic pressures mount as Union Pacific faces coal train derailments in Kansas and Huy Fong Foods warns of a global Sriracha shortage.

This episode features a deep dive into the Noodle Boy origins of woke culture and a critique of the high production overhead at The Liz Wheeler Show. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak examine the Great Reset implications of Jay Powell’s push for a Central Bank Digital Currency while celebrating Father's Day with a global knighting ceremony for the show's executive producers. The session concludes with a review of the RODECaster Pro II and a look at the suspicious timing of the January 6th Committee hearings relative to reports of extraterrestrial signals from China.

Father's Day Traditions, Juneteenth Federal Holiday Origins

The observation is made that Father's Day has shifted toward fathers texting each other rather than receiving traditional gifts. Discussion turns to Juneteenth being established as a federal holiday by President Biden in 2021 following the George Floyd protests. The holiday is characterized as a local Texas celebration of the delayed notification of the Emancipation Proclamation rather than the legal end of slavery itself.

00:00 Visit Hispanic woman and Latinx when you see the Republican, you see babe? So that's a vote in the circuit! P-word and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And for Northern Silicon Valley where it's Father's Day! Happy Father's day everybody. I'm John C. Dvorak You know what I've noticed increasingly but this year was really apparent? I don't know if you have this

00:43 I find myself and many other fathers, I know all sending Happy Father's Day texts to each other. Nobody else would do it Well that's kind of the point isn't it? There is something about Father's day where over time you used to get maybe even your wife would give you a gift if it was the mother of your children You know, it would be...it seemed like it was a lot more and these days now is just a bunch of dads texting each other. Hey bro thanks yeah happy Father's Day man I mean I got a gif this morning! I love my daughter but I gotta jiff Yeah what? A JIFF! I gotta jiff you know like I love you dad on Instagram with jiff of different pictures then and now Some work is better than nothing Of course it's very cute I love it

01:39 And I have to say one of my stepdaughters also sent me a nice message, but in general 15-20 different messages from different dads. I think it's a trend and we have to because... I'm sending it out to everybody! Hello! Happy Father's Day to you! As you pointed out in the newsletter now We also should say happy Juneteenth Same day. I didn't realize that Juneteenth was made a federal holiday last year by Biden Yes, yes, yes official why? Well because black lives matter bro

02:24 What's wrong with the Emancipation Proclamation? That's when the freedom of this, that's when the slaves were literally freed legally. You're gonna argue this now? What we're dealing with... you're telling me we're celebrating a holiday that- This is like celebrating the end of World War II by finding the last Japanese hanging out in a tree 20 years later still thinking the war is going on. It is kind of that. Isn't it?! Yes! Of course, that's exactly what it is So we're not celebrating the actual end of slavery, which would be the Emancipation Proclamation because why? I'll tell you why. Lincoln was a Republican that's why! Oh well that's a good point but also it was George Floyd and yeah we had to pick a day and we had to do something... Well you could have gone back to the Emancipation Proclamation Why dream up this crazy like local celebration as done in Texas as kind of a lark

03:21 This is celebrating stupidity as far as I'm concerned and i'm sorry that anyone finds offense that offensive no, I don't think Dummies exit know the would that The slaves were freed never exploiting them. We did just so you know we did cover this in depth last year Yeah your clips actually or I see your clips Wait, here's a Juneteenth Biden gaffe. Let's see what that was. He's going down to Texas on Juneteenth right? The first major massacre literally speaking of the Black Wall Street years ago and he is gonna have a rally. A rally! It keeps on giving! The dude is... well should we just talk about him real briefly then?

CHAPTER 02 / 40 Discussion

Joe Biden Bicycle Fall, Retro Toe Clip Sabotage

President Joe Biden fell from a stationary bicycle while attempting to greet reporters in Delaware. Analysis of the incident focuses on the President's use of 1990s-era toe clips instead of modern "clipless" pedal systems which allow for easier foot release. The choice of outdated equipment is jokingly framed as potential sabotage by his staff.

joe biden· bicycle fall· toe clips· cycling technology· sabotage

04:05 But by the way, John happy Father's Day. Well Happy Father's Day to you and happy Father's day to all the listeners out there fathers or not! And the ships at sea... and the boots on the ground You're right President Biden is indeed the gift that keeps on giving just gaffe after gaffe and what a metaphor for the United States with him falling down from a stationary bike What? I thought it was a real bike, he was getting off of it. No but... well stationary meaning he was standing still Oh yeah no he stopped to get off the bike Here's what I don't understand as someone who knows a little bit about the cycling sport As someone who has worn cycling garb

04:53 such as the modern shoes, I've only been using these modern shoes for oh, I don't know seven years. So for seven years but probably for 17 years the concept of toe clips has not been around. You have shoes now that fit into that click into your pedals and it's very easy to just move your foot to the left or to the right and you can pop it right out But the president for some reason is using 1990s cycle sport technology of toe clips. Which was replaced for kind of this very reason! What, because you get stuck in them? Yes!!

05:37 Yeah, especially when you know if you're gonna... If you fall You have no way to get your foot out. If you fall with the modern shoes and the modern clasp you could be.. You can probably...You'll probably able to get your foot out to break your fall More for professional riders of course But I mean it makes no sense who gave the president this bike? This is sabotage. They're trying to screw him up! Yes, it's sabotage! I'm sticking with it. Sabotage! Let's make him say autocracy one more time and see what happens And now he said... Now what was great Is when this happened You know reporters are yelling questions at him and he's obviously annoyed He's clearly discombobulated But there was a question in here about China tariffs

CHAPTER 03 / 40 Discussion

Biden Gaffes, China Tariffs, CEO CFO Death Comment

President Biden's recent verbal slips are examined, including a confusing statement regarding the "process of making up my mind" on China tariffs. During an event involving Joann Inc., Biden awkwardly offered sympathies for a CFO who "dropped dead." Further criticism is directed at his description of Juneteenth events in Texas as a "major massacre" in relation to Black Wall Street.

joe biden· china tariffs· joann inc· gaffes· black wall street

06:21 Listen to his answer, especially the second time he answers the question. Have you made up your mind on China tariffs sir? We're in the process of doing that You're lifting the tariffs? I'm in the process of making it my mind What?! We are in the process of making up my mind Look! I know its a mistake It's a gaffe But you can't overlook these things No, it's consistent. I mean it's not as though just once a year we get something hilarious But this is so good We're in the process of making up my mind That's probably true Yes It's probably true I don't think he's speaking the royal we yes The Joe Biden is in the process of making up his mind

07:11 my mind, whatever. No no this is... the Democrats have always taught us when someone tells you who he is you should believe it! He's probably telling the truth and he's the royal we or he's being controlled by some other panel. Or he has a mouse in his pocket And this was my favorite when he was addressing an audience and noticed the CEO of Joanne Inc and had a story about it, of course. You know you always have to as a politician you always want say hey there's Pete over there thanks for doing that thing Pete yeah that's what you do it's like you call people out in the 1950s Obama did it Trump did it all these guys do it but when you do it this way it's kind of weird by the way my sympathies to your family

08:05 Your CFO, who dropped dead very unexpectedly. My best of the family is tough stuff. Tough stuff man drop dead fucker just face planted himself Yeah that's the clip of the week he uh... dropped dead Dropped Dead You know Right? It's just you know I didn't put any Biden clips together this week because i'm going to do them only once a week. Well no, this is all we need! This is all we need it's fine but those are you know that nails them and... You got it? You got it. Although back to back there- It's not none of this was as good as I'm stammering today for some reason yeah what's up none of this was as good as the Juneteenth explanation uh that I'd actually like to hear here as a reprise

09:03 Do you have did you select it? No, he's just played it. Oh oh You mean the he's going down to Texas on Juneteenth right for the first major massacre literally speaking Black Wall Street He's gonna have a rally I like that the first major massacre that was even a better part First major massacre. Major massacre! And he's the guy who made this a federal holiday Yeah, it's the best It's the best Wait what do I have here? What is this? Kamala Harris and Joy Reid are the worst kind of black people They are the worst... Sorry This says a clip Moose sent me ...first time because though they wear the same uniform as you they're not on the same team As you and the reason that they are so easily co-opted is because their family lineage is not rooted in the plantations of American slavery

CHAPTER 04 / 40 Discussion

Kamala Harris, Joy Reid, Plantation Lineage Claims

A clip is reviewed suggesting that figures like Kamala Harris and Joy Reid lack a family lineage rooted in American plantation slavery, affecting their political perspectives. The conversation returns to the naming of Juneteenth, suggesting it was a political move to appease the public following the George Floyd unrest.

kamala harris· joy reid· slavery· lineage· george floyd

09:52 Kamala Harris is a biracial woman who... No, no that's not it. That leads into the June 19th hustle but it was too long. But this thing was made for George Floyd! That's why that, that's why it had... Why don't they call it George Floyd Day? Thing. Just George Floyd thing! The George Floyd thing but they do that instead of this Juneteenth. That's right GFT everybody no I think that's you know they were just looking for we would mean this was only a year ago but we remember what was going down oh and either day shut everybody up

10:31 And now it's ridiculed. It's ridiculed! And it's on Father's Day, which is not lost... Yeah I think that was like they kicked their dads to the side and put this thing in well then I was bitching about this at the table with basically the same spiel and my daughter says today off what are you complaining about? Well it's not a day off for me but today offer her so good Sunday No, tomorrow's a federal holiday. Oh but today is Juneteenth and tomorrow is the federal holiday? Yeah So that's literally how she approaches it Does she care about George Floyd? It's a day off! Does she not care about George Floyd? No, like everybody else I'm guessing Hey, its'a day off an additional day off This is great

CHAPTER 06 / 40 Discussion

UK Online Safety Bill, Psychological Distress, Offensive Podcasts

The UK Online Safety Bill is analyzed for its "harmful communications" offense, which could criminalize speech intended to cause "extreme psychological distress." Concerns are raised that subjective definitions of harm will be used to jail comedians or individuals who misgender others online. The discussion touches on the history of internet censorship in Germany and the "Howard Stern sickness" of excessive profanity in modern podcasting.

uk online safety bill· free speech· toby young· nadine dorries· censorship

17:12 something they didn't get some kind of programming and as you said this has to come from the education system it has to be a lack of civics or focus on other things such is in the UK now, and this will be conflated here because we're already well on our way and this is about legality of speech, and of things you can say. The UK online safety bill has a section in it 127 This is a guy named Toby Young he's on that GBN that kind of... That new... wasn't owned by Discovery? That new news network in the UK Anyway doesn't matter listen to this Buried in the online safety bill

17:54 is a new harmful communications offence and that is going to replace various existing communications offences like I think section 127. It tries to identify those things you shouldn't be able to say, not by using terms like grossly offensive which as you say are very nebulous and open-ended they try and identify them according to the effect they have on the person they're sent or who overhears them so under the new harmful communications offense buried in the online safety bill. If you say something which is going to cause someone extreme psychological distress, and you intended it to do so and you don't have a kind of reasonable reason for doing so like you're not participating in a political debate if it's a gratuitous

18:47 something you said it's gratuitous, it was designed to cause psychological distress and it causes extreme psychological distress then you can go to jail for two years. Nadine Doris argues that this law whilst it does restrict some speech and whilst it could be a bit which doesn't acknowledge this but we've pointed out this could be abused in the courts because lots of people will claim that a gender-critical feminist misgendering them on Twitter has caused them extreme psychological distress, and the person doing it knew it would. And they should go to jail for two years." And you can see this could be used as a kind of Trojan horse for smuggling subjective definitions of harm—psychological harm—into the criminal justice system in a kind of sinister way. Yes! So when this news... Is that what a comedian does by the way?

19:37 It's exactly what a comedian does. Dave LaPelle, Dave Chappelle... where did that come from? Dave Chappelle could get in real big trouble if he doesn't stand up in the UK and he posts something online and it doesn't have to be misgendering. Well for instance, if you said wow that's a dude You know, about... which is something you could say. Regarding our uh what is it Rachel's? What is Rachel she the Admiral? Rachel Maddow? Levine Oh God! Well there you go just did you just misgendered Rachel right there and you didn't online you didn't a podcast so you can go to jail for two years

20:21 And you did it because, you know... no secret. Cheap joke! That's the reason I did it. A cheap gag and what about dead naming somebody? That's got to really put somebody into a stale spin. How about this? Lizzo is obese now that could send me to jail because you're not allowed to body shame It could send her into and I'm sure just saying this sent some people listening to the sound of my voice Into a triggered spiral Yeah You know, but this is what people pick this up. And you know whether it's if it's illegal in the UK surely must be legal illegal in America see how this works? Well that would yes that's exactly how it works as in terms of the bullshit of it

21:08 Because it's not illegal in America. It could be illegal in the UK though, and now you've got to deal with what happens if you remember in the early days of blogging a lot of blogs were kicked out of Germany because they wouldn't show swastika or something along those lines Swastika? I've never heard it pronounced like that! Swastikaa Swastika Interesting Just like a drink...it used to be a drink I'll have a swastika with ice please. It was never a drink, stop! Wow did you sample the edibles on the way in? Did you sample the edibles on the way in today good no I should have so yes So these blogs got banned from Germany

22:01 And I guess it was an indictable offense, so if you actually went to Germany and you were the blogger... I think somebody... I believe a couple of bloggers were arrested. Did someone get arrested? Yeah, I think so. It's possible. Just by showing up in the country. I mean what happened to them they probably just got a big fine but It could ban a bunch of podcasts because most podcasts are offensive. To be honest about it, I listen to them trying to catch some stuff from... Of course they're offensive! What's wrong with these podcasts? Yeah that's beautiful! Offensive podcasts are fantastic No most podcasts are offensive guys can't stop cussing you think they expand their vocabulary a little bit Well that's the Howard Stern sickness

22:45 Is it? You blame Howard Stern for this? No, I just named it the Howard Stern sickness because when he went to Sirius the first three years all they did was drop F-bombs and just say things that they could never say on broadcast radio. And it didn't make... Hey we're free! It didn't make it cool though, it was not good It's gross. Anyway, we continue to research We'd love to know more things about in the millennial minute which our current trend is understanding Understanding what things millennials a group of Millennials believe that are illegal And I'm sure there'll be other topics in the Millennial Minute Spread avocado want some toast cuz it's the time that John loves most The Millennial Minute

Silicon Valley Economic Shift, Subsidized Millennial Lifestyle

The era of "cheap money" and zero interest rates is ending, leading to hiring freezes and layoffs in Silicon Valley. Many services popular with Millennials, such as Uber, DoorDash, and Netflix, are described as having been subsidized by venture capital to gain market share. As investors demand profit, these companies are expected to raise prices or introduce advertising.

silicon valley· venture capital· inflation· netflix· uber

23:36 Actually, I did want to mention something for the Millennials. You know with inflation rising and the free money train over because the interest rates are no longer at zero for companies to borrow money and invest it Silicon Valley... Cheaply yeah. I'm sorry? Cheaply! Cheaply yes. Silicon Valley is immediately if we just read around the trades a little bit immediately they're clamping down There's firms that are implementing hiring freezes. I think we might even see some layoffs here and there, and the main reason for this is there're so many products and services that really service the millennial generation of today although Xers and boomers take advantage of them as well but it's created and used primarily for the current generation

24:35 These are all products that have been subsidized by investors. Yes, well 10 years of very very cheap money. The old adage is I remember the phrase used to be in the olden days of Bally they would say oh yeah they're shipping a $10 bill with every hard disk they sell which literally means they're losing at ten dollars you're getting $10 worth of value when you pay whatever you paying because they're losing money on each hard disk. Or whatever product it is and that's what been going on, that's very trend, that's been a trend- For decades? Yes for decades all the stuff that your getting oh this is great I get a free system here and I get this that other thing just because some investors are

25:28 Bidding for the long haul. Well, the whole... What am I saying? They're throwing money away! Okay. Since you can't really make excuse me since very hard to make a long-term money on well it's getting better now but you know and traditional investment vehicles, it makes a lot of sense to pump a crapload into money into you know into a venture capital fund so that you know they disperse it and of the 50 things they fund there's hopefully an Amazon or Google or something big that pops out.

26:04 And it's really called gaining market share, you know. It's yeah I mean that that's really what it's about is buying customers and keeping them until you know either we can raise the rates look at Netflix who now are... and I think they're the... They still losing money by the way. Yes! Well they're the canary in the coal mine And they right away went, okay shit is slowing down we can't even buy more people so we bought everybody with the cheap money. I mean that's what the reality is. Is it slowed down? Whether that means people are going to other streaming services but this will happen to others as well

26:45 And now they're like, oh we better do some advertising. So that's exactly the convenience and the beauty of Netflix that you liked is that it didn't have all that interruptive advertising, the interruptive advertising model. I know they understand it but they don't get it. In somebody's other streaming service like... The one that's geniuses Amazon Prime because it's not really... That's not the main thing they're selling They're selling their shipping and prime services. And they just bundle it in, and you still pay for things sporadically that aren't in your Prime package. Actually there's a lot on there though. And that may change but listen how about Uber? You think Uber is gonna remain the same price I mean and that's not even related to gasoline prices. Uber has been losing money! They've never made profit How about DoorDash

27:43 You think Casper Mattress is gonna be around? No. Blue Apron! You're gonna have to learn how to go and shop again. Did Blue Apron ever... We saw this in the late 90s with uh... Wait, wait I want one more. My favorite Spotify Do you think that the Swedes will be able to continuously pump hundreds of millions of dollars into a money-losing proposition which only has some glimmer of, well we're gonna do billions on podcasting. None of that is materialized they have no way to make actual profit except for scamming on the music side so Spotify these things will go away now that's what I've seen in my life. Play the Curry Pet Peeve thing please play it

CHAPTER 08 / 40 Discussion

Dot-com Era Failures, Coffee Shop Leeching, Shill Effect

Historical parallels are drawn between current struggling startups and the 1990s dot-com bust, citing companies like Webvan and Peapod. A prediction is made that coffee shops like Starbucks will eventually limit "leeches" who occupy space without making significant purchases. The "shill effect" is defined as the practice of keeping a venue looking busy to attract more customers.

webvan· peapod· pets.com· starbucks· shill effect

28:33 I don't even know where, yeah. I have it here. I wanted you to give some historical examples of this What, Spotify? No no you were saying that things have gone away and I actually interrupted. Oh no but Webvan's a good example. Webvan oh my goodness! That was the original delivery system and it was like... And it was monopoly I should bet whether it's Peapod that was the other one. Peapod another good one. Peapod was up there but there was Peapod in Webvan but wasn't like a million of them like they are today. And uh..and they couldn't handle it It was just-it was a loser

29:12 And they were hiring people left and right to drive those little web vans around, just pretty much like the Amazon truck about the same size. And then there was pets dot com... Yeah but no one really depended on those? The way people depend on these services I mean DoorDash would be Uber Eats Webvan! People were depending on it. I mean the same millennial types were 99, I mean the same types. And should i tell you something else? You know what else is going to end? I guarantee they're gonna start putting limits if they don't already exist on the leeches in coffee shops and Starbucks They're gonna say hey moving on out people! You just sitting here taking up our space or they can start charging for it Well depends because that they do provide a shill effect

30:07 Which is comforting and... A shill effect? What do you mean a shill effect? The Shillifect Casinos, for example will hire people to be in the casino making it look like the place is more busy than it really is and so you'll feel more comfortable going in there. Because nobody likes to go into an empty building Nobody likes to go into a dead empty coffee shop You'd go I'm not going here this place is dead empty This why we have lines around the discos You want to create a situation that's just popular Yeah, the club clubs the clubs John the clothes but the point is that there's lines out in front And that means it must be popular must be busy you want to get in that line people get in line It's the velvet rope or so this shill if it's a shill effect and so you I'm not so sure that dead

30:58 I mean, i think you're right about the sponging aspect of it but at the same time it may be necessary to keep those places look...to look like they're busy. Maybe necessary Yeah, but you still at the end of the day. You've got to make some money I mean I see all I see is evidence of you know The incubators the Y combinators the venture capital, you know funded companies are going like a danger danger alright everybody farts Well, we are too old for farts and we're allowed to talk- Rar! RAR! You know when I was a kid? We had to pay to get into the place. You didn't give it away like they do today Listen Those girls will work for free I'm here to help you. You're here to help me so when you say the discos, you know i'm gonna subtly correct you by saying no no that's the clubs Yeah

31:53 But you can learn a lot by looking at history and if there's anything that most people will agree on, we don't remember Jack anymore. We don't remember two weeks ago! Nobody remembers Peapod and that's like what uh... There ya go! No one remembers Peapod. Missed 30 years ago but still yeah No, nobody remembers anything in this big uphill battle. And the reason that... let's get back to the Maine thesis which is why the millennials don't know these things that they should know is because there are only so many hours a day and there's only so much school than they can get and so the information that they really need to know has been kicked at the curb so they can learn about gender studies. Yes!

CHAPTER 09 / 40 Discussion

Ranked Choice Voting, Electoral College Subversion

Ranked choice voting is discussed as a growing trend in US municipalities and states. The system is criticized as being potentially subversive to the Electoral College and moving the US toward a parliamentary-style system.

ranked choice voting· electoral college· parliamentary system· voting reform

32:36 You're correct, and I think civics is probably all about gender studies as well. It doesn't seem... Gender studies! When mature adults don't understand civil versus federal you know all these types of basic issues Civil versus criminal. Criminal. See? I don't even know what you were trying to say Well here's something else. I've been looking at this rank voting Yes, and a lot of people are you know sending me this and I would say in the no agenda nation audience There's probably a 60-40 split. People think maybe even more people think it's a great idea to me There's a fallacy in this because and this you'll see this transition Even if you had this and I'm talking about the general election but if you had this

33:31 this rank voting at the general election, it shouldn't matter because the people don't actually vote for the can-don't actually you know their vote is not what counts. It's the electoral college and somehow I just dawned on me that this rank voting that seems to be very popular is some way subversive to the Electoral College like this is a better way we can get rid of this thing That's a dumb way to do it Well, ranked voting is generally used more by the states and the municipalities. I know! And people can do whatever they want... I don't think it's ever even been introduced to the idea of that kind of thing. Oh put that in The Red Book you watch. You have to question everything every single meme or little slogan you got a question at all yeah no it also it's kind of more like a parliamentary system rank voting

CHAPTER 10 / 40 Discussion

Monkeypox Renaming, MPX, LGBTQ Messaging Issues

The World Health Organization's decision to rename Monkeypox to "MPX" to avoid racist stigmas is critiqued. Public health messaging is analyzed for its focus on men who have sex with men, with concerns that the stigma mirrors the early handling of the HIV/AIDS crisis. A confusing NPR clip is played where a speaker suggests the disease might make people "think they're gay."

monkeypox· mpx· world health organization· lgbtq· public health

34:33 Yeah, well we have all this a whole pool. We can choose from I don't know III'm a Traditionalist you're in the mood. I'm not in the mood. I'm a traditionalist that's all I am alright Let's talk about monkey parks You know of all the things I expected you to say okay? Let's talk about them Let's talk about monkey pox. I haven't asked Adam Oh goodness, I mean this that's the that's the reason i wanted to transition. I mean who is in a mood today? Okay, all right. I'm ready the monkeypox a small monkey pox clip is discussing This is a background how the problem with Monkey Pox which has been renamed? Yeah, I'm sure you heard today didn't hear the name. I know it was going to be really no idea I knew it was being renamed But I haven't actually seen them in another I mix I'm excited to learn the new name of monkey pox Which as we do know was is racist It's racist

35:38 Because only racists connect monkeys to, I don't know black people? Is that why it's racist? Why else could it be racist other than some sick mind who makes that connection. Which are the people who want to change the name! They're sick! Alright well let's go to... I had a clip on here that actually revealed the name and I tried to... It's actually on here-I'll just tell you what it is. Okay. MPX. M P X. Oh okay Wow. So monkeypox have been re- I know, I'll create it. Let's play uh... but the problem with the monkey pox is not so much that its association with Africa and monkeys and somehow black people because of the old monkey thing that goes back for god knows how long is over and dead but okay It's the gay thing! Hey alright

36:42 So they're very upset about the fact, and I'm going to skip the Ask Adam for now. We're gonna get that in a second. Let's go to Monkeypox gay messaging and the problem is is that it's being associated with gays so much That now it seems that if you have monkey by the way they renamed at MPX Nobody's using their name this thing of course I didn't even I mean the messaging sucks because I didn't even know about it And I'm supposed to know this stuff yeah, I'm surprised he didn't But it but so they can't they can't really bring themselves to saying mpx because then you get the guys electronic. Hey does that mean multiplex? I know, I just try to register any version of MPX dot-com org app. I mean that's you can't even get a domain name for this name It's so dumb

37:28 Well, it also means other things if you go to the acronym list. But okay so let's play this thing about here's the gay issues. Gay men and bisexual men... It is now believed some of the monkey pox cases can be traced back to gay events in saunas in Europe but health officials stress anyone can get the disease. They found that there's this big event in Europe that monkey pox stems from some big gay party in Germany And the first thing I'm thinking, and this is in Germany. I'm thinking did they have a monkey at this party? What were they doing with this monkey? Here's the thing that...I am gonna check with some of my gay brothers. I have a feeling the whole sauna thing is not necessarily where the boning takes place anymore. If anything

38:22 connecting gays to saunas is... I mean that's almost stigmatizing. You mean gay bathhouses? The report said saunas! Okay, and you know if you say a gay bathhouse yes it's obvious what you go to do there but a sauna no a sauna is just that don't think that's a thing even in Europe but okay you know where they go to have sex? To the discos That's where they go. There ya' got it So let's go to monkeypox. This is the Monkeypox WHO report. The World Health Organization is convening its emergency committee next week to decide whether the monkey pox outbreak is a public health emergency of international concern, that's the world's highest health alert. The only two viruses that currently have that designation are COVID

39:08 and polio. I studied this stuff, and i had a nightmare the other night that i had it... And in the nightmare like i didn't know where to go! Stephen Thrasher writes about inequality in health care he worries that the public health system could be doing more to prevent the spread of monkeypox. It's really unfortunate because where i live in Chicago And throughout the coronavirus pandemic, I got notices about what the rate was whether or not to use masks where to get a vaccine when i was eligible for a vaccine went to get a booster all of that just went straight to my phone. Nothing like that is happening right now Wait a minute they were direct marketing The Gays? That's what it seems like Like we have your status Enhance rotate zoom in uh-huh gay send them a text message

40:01 He needs to get the vaccine for the MPX. Wow... That's what it sounds like, yep. Ask him who? The who, I get it. Yeah you go on and play it There also needs to be resources in place for testing and vaccinations We have to be prepared to support people as they need when they're diagnosed But he says there's another part a more difficult and complex problem the public and private perceptions that come from focusing prevention messaging on men who have sex with other men Part of it is not a quick fix And I won't pretend like I haven't a quick fix answer for it

40:38 It's to make a society that doesn't have homophobia because as long as there is a homophobic society and people are afraid of what it means to come forward, that this thing will make people think that they're gay then they're not going to want to come forward. Wait a minute! Did he say if you get monkey pox than your gonna think your gay? Wow. No, that's not what he said! Now as you mentioned it is what he said... Hold on let me hear that again There also needs to be resources in place for testing and vaccinations We have to be prepared to support people as they need when they're diagnosed But he says there's another part a more difficult and complex problem Here we go The public and private perceptions

41:23 that come from focusing prevention messaging on men who have sex with other men. Part of it is not a quick fix, and I won't pretend like i have a quick-fix answer for it... It's to make a society that doesn't have homophobia because as long as there is a homophobic society and people are afraid of what it means to come forward that this thing will make people think they're gay then they're not going to want to come forward. I'm telling you, that's what he saying! No no i listened to the story now the structure of this sentence was just poor. No kidding? And it could be... It was one of those things that is a term for that kind of writing and it was vague and yeah what you said

42:08 That could be one way of looking at that sentence, what he said. If you get the monkey punch and all of a sudden your gonna start thinking you are gay. You know what he really meant I do now yes thank you but yes this is well we do i have some thoughts about this I got one more clip just to get before the okay, because it wasn't asked Adam officially No, the axe Adam is coming at ax adam. Okay all right ax him But I have something to say about monkey box don't cut away from this original clip. I was looking for this fear porn play this Oh, okay. The virus is behaving unusually from how it used to behave in the past. We're encouraging countries to do surveillance contact tracing numbers that causes flu-like symptoms like fevers chills muscle aches and headaches then a rash of virus behaving unusually contact tracing flu like symptoms

CHAPTER 11 / 40 Discussion

Ask Adam, HIV Stigma History, Public Health Playbook

In the "Ask Adam" segment, the terminology used by health officials to describe "men who have sex with men" is scrutinized. The discussion compares current Monkeypox surveillance to the 1980s response to HIV/AIDS led by Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. Claims are made that the media is using the outbreak to further stigmatize masculinity.

anthony fauci· deborah birx· hiv· aids· public health

43:05 It all sounds familiar, but these reports are not about the coronavirus. They're about monkeypox also known as MPX Okay I'm ready for the ask Adam okay we do the ask him then you Ask Adam alright ask Adam okay? This is a clip about Well just play this clip straight up and if it needs it I don't think it needs to set up that probably does Oh, it's titled Ask Adam? Okay. I gotcha. Yeah. Sorry. ...may feel that this is not a concern to them and may feel that this is an infection that can only affect gay men or bisexual men or other men who have sex with men... Okay! Bisexual men! Okay, I'm ready for the Ask Adam. The ask Adam is

43:53 The way they said it is that the disease, they're trying to generalize about men having sex with men and they say bisexual men have sex with men. Yes. Homosexual men gay men have sex with men and then they say other men who have sex with men Who are the other men? And how are they not either gay or bisexual They are trans men I think that's probably right yes I was gonna say priests I clearly didn't play the right way. That was a joke, that's good one. I like it. I think it's funny Okay You're going to hell but otherwise is pretty funny Yeah, I can atone for this whole thing Have we learned nothing my gay brothers have we learned nothing from Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx in the 80s doing... This is the exact same playbook

44:56 Next is going to be you might be able to get it from touching a surface. You might be able to get even though its medically well if you touch someone who has it, your gonna get it But this is exactly how AIDS, which came from the HIV virus was stigmatized gay men. Of course bisexual men they only have sex with men right? No of course not! Who was at most risk of contracting HIV and subsequently AIDS and dying women...women So why? I mean, how can anyone not even listen in the news media and not say wait a minute we were so wrong about AIDS. And boy were we! We were so wrong

45:47 Why are we doing the exact same thing? And the answer is because all men must be exterminated and removed. Throw Juneteenth on Father's Day, because you know black men don't deserve anything Black fathers don't count The gays they're too masculine Toxic masculinity They're gay guys! Lesbians, you're on deck This is very destructive And this comes from the so-called people who revere and love the LGBTQI plus community. Bullshit! This is, this is so bad screw them I don't care if it was you know blister on your thumb disease The fact that you're doing this is so stupid It's not...it doesn't even make medical sense or societal sense

46:40 How many? Cue it up. But I can only have one a show! Sure you can, you could have two! No, I love people to say that they don't understand this because AIDS was never a gay disease either. AIDS is not a disease HIV is a virus and there's questions as to what killed the people who got the AIDS so you can get AIDS from vaccination Yeah, and you have to always remember it's actually designed for Dietrich to wipe out parts of Africa. HIV! Yes, yes of course that is what you do So people who don't see this that this is a setup and where's the gaze?

47:27 Where's the 75 all in these reports from NPR you heard the guy yeah, but that's not us That's not my old neighbor Steve by the way. He has to sound gay or he can't be on it as well of course It's not video like a San Francisco game. He doesn't get on there. You're not here not in the package I'm disgusted by this. It's insane! Oh yeah, only gay guys. Only gay guys? What is the implication of that?" What were they really implying that you can only get it through anal sex or anal or your anal to oral? I don't know. What is the implication there's something about being gay implicated Oh, I know but something about being gay that makes you special that this that the MPX wants you're diseased That's what is said. That's what it says This is like let's go back to Nazi Germany their diseased all cork soakers will die and

CHAPTER 12 / 40 Discussion

January 6th Committee Production, Media Strategy, Casting

The January 6th Committee hearings are criticized for poor production value and a lack of dramatic tension, leading NBC to cut away for golf coverage. Suggestions are made to improve the "casting" by including adversarial figures like Jim Jordan or engaging hosts like Ben Shapiro or Ann Coulter. The segment mentions James Carville's portrayal in political films and the committee's failure to release full deposition transcripts.

january 6th committee· lester holt· liz cheney· james carville· court tv

48:28 All right. All right, well that was great thanks. I'm sorry to press your chest no well okay here we go. I am very disappointed in the January 6th committee the J616 J616 committee They screwed it up. They brought in the ABC guy, could have told you that's not the way to go. The Curry Dvorak Consulting Group said if you want prime time You've got to do it completely differently no oh no they can't even stay on during the day As we come up at the top of the hour, we're going to have to end our coverage on this January 6th hearing on NBC Network. My colleagues and I will continue our coverage on the hearings on our streaming platform, NBC News Now. For everyone else, U.S. Open Golf begins momentarily. I'm Lester Holt for NBC News in New York. Good day!

49:23 Oh no. This is what I said from the get go you did, I did had to break away for golf. I'm going to repeat why I said it and please do the two of us listen to a lot of these hearings? Yeah we don't actually listened to as many as we could because they're very tight there very time consuming to get one little clip We have to spend hours and they are extremely boring And the way these uh Congress people, senators and congressmen and women speak is with a lot of pauses and very thoughtfully because they don't want to say anything wrong so that you have to be clipped down in and edited to make it sound even remotely not to put you asleep.

50:08 It's just, they're very... it's boring. That's the point and they couldn't do it now Just something in general about the technical process or end about the process As an American citizen not as a deconstructor but as an American citizen I find it Not just odd But I find that it's a mistake And it's messed up if you're going to Show testimony of people's depositions Don't you think that the Jan 6 committee should release the full transcripts of all of the depositions not just this? Soundbite here sound bite there and say, you know We edited it down for your convenience for brevity. I'm on my iPhone Yeah Isn't that isn't it procedurally isn't that just completely messed up

51:01 What's completely messed up is the whole January 6th committee. Liz Cheney and Kitzinger, whatever his name is... Those two shouldn't even be on the committee! The two Republicans? They should recuse themselves for being Trump haters I mean in any other situation No now come on we'd have nothing to talk about if they did that what would the Tim Pool show be about come on Megyn Kelly would die She still have a show. Oh, yeah, she's never having me on again though. It's obvious Well, she may have you all know I counted her on Putin. I countered I countered her on Putin Yeah But she's you know, she's still yeah see what you do is You uh, you talk smack about it is you talk smack about Mellenkelly and he cut you off or are you saying? I was just saying that you were right to begin with

51:56 There's no drama in these hearings. There's no back and forth, that's why they needed a Jim Jordan. Yes! They need to have the battle going on to get people's attention this is just a one-sided kangaroo court. And Liz Cheney should have done that she could have done... imagine if we had... If you and I were doing it... She hasn't got the guts to get out of her own way We would have trained her to do it in a way, and she'll be at questions would be like well didn't you have this? And then it would be a setup because the answer would be so clear. You know and then she's and then she'd go Well you've convinced me I mean there's so many different ways you could have done that just show anger to show drama To show a attention arc as we say in the biz and then pay that off

52:42 You know, after recess you know keep people riveted. No! None of that. Well the ABC guy did nothing from what I can tell except create some videos. Scripts they wrote a script to wrote a script with some B with some Rolands It's terrible Yes! I mean there's no look they went through the trouble of getting a big room and putting up the screen but come on how about some graphics? some sound effects people would not have complained about it and like oh this is pretty cool shit but yeah how I mean why not and no one has done this why not do it like gap in heard

53:28 Turd why not do it like those guys like the high-end junkies and you know break away and like okay We're gonna break away from this boring shit. I court TV Yeah, tell you what's going on put a box in there boring television to begin with but it's more exciting than this You're probably right because what happened? Yeah, they should in fact now that she mentioned it That's a great idea. They should have had a couple of hosts like Vinny there on Court TV No, you want the guy from Missouri... what is his name? The old Democrat grouch who keeps complaining about wokeness Come on! The consultant he was married to the reporter Oh the flasher Is he a flasher? Carvel? Is he a flasher?!

54:15 Well, they portrayed him as one in the movie that came out about the Clinton campaign. It was called The Color Red or Color Brought On what the name of that thing was... And they said he was a flasher? He was a flasher in that movie yeah Wow and that was a dramatized version Yeah and it was..and that guy who was in the movie was supposed to be Carvel What's he working with Well, I don't know. I never saw it. Oh okay. I mean...I didn't see IT! I saw the movie. So they should get him in? So I don't know what he was working with. Maybe get- Could have been huge! I have no idea. Newt Green-Gingrich used to be good. He won't be good anymore

54:55 Who could you get in for a great old school... He's still not bad. Yeah, he's a little slow. He's talking a little slow. He's slower than he used to be but he used to be annoyingly good. And Coulter! Get her in because she hates Trump so it would be kind of extra good You know? She could be seen as down the middle. Coulter would be good yes. I mean we know how to do these things Put Shapiro on There ya go. Shapiro pool Put them all in a room with the guy who sells gold. Let him have an opinion too, this would be great show! Yeah it would. The economy is going to shit buy gold Okay so because of this... No one's listening to us anyway So because of this crappy production you're leaving room for all kind- This is what breeds conspiracy theories and the best one came from Richard Hoagland on Coast 2 Coast

CHAPTER 13 / 40 Discussion

Richard Hoagland, China SETI Signals, Alien Distraction

A theory from Richard Hoagland on Coast to Coast AM suggests that the January 6th hearings are a distraction from reports that China's space agency picked up intelligent extraterrestrial signals. The lack of response from the SETI Institute is noted.

richard hoagland· seti· china· aliens· coast to coast am

55:48 which is a fabulous podcast, it's a radio show but you can get as a podcast. China on Twitter, the official Chinese equivalent of NASA News Agency and they are saying they picked up signals! Well that's news to the rest of us I mean think about this one of three major planetary governments in in the early part of the 21st century announces formally through its political and governmental distribution agency that they've heard intelligent AT signals, and nobody responds! Nothing. I haven't hear anything from SETI. Have you? No, and I'll tell you why.

56:34 Why do you think the damn hearings on the destruction of the country are occurring right now in Washington and for the next several weeks as distraction? Now we know! The aliens are coming, were being distracted. Well this makes it extra troubling Yeah because the distraction stinks And if people are paying attention when they come It's gonna suck They will not go the way the aliens intended I do think it's kind of cool that what that report was out there the China receipt. Hey, man receiving some shit I'm gonna break out the ham gear It's about time to start talking back to him So this is the problem judge That was good Thank You so this judge That testified ended up on NPR

CHAPTER 14 / 40 Discussion

Judge J. Michael Luttig, NPR Interview, Republican Reconciliation

Retired federal judge J. Michael Luttig's testimony and subsequent NPR interview are deconstructed. Luttig's warning of a "clear and present danger" to democracy is analyzed, with the hosts noting his vocal similarity to Bill Barr. Luttig's call for the Republican Party to initiate a "reconciliation process" for the events of January 6th is dismissed as an attempt to return to an obsolete era of the party.

j. michael luttig· npr· republican party· bill barr· clear and present danger

57:37 And they interviewed him and I, his name was Loosestick. He's just a dud and he's a Bushite. Casting! Another thing about this whole the casting sucked Yeah and this guy is a bushy. He's a bushy. And so you know worked for the Bush administration we all know that because of Jeb, Jeb Bush being told told it wasn't a moron in front of all the people at the various debates where Trump just call them up you know, boring stupid and the rest of it. Low energy, low energy Jeb. Which wiped out the Bush dynasty thank goodness. Again again Curry Dvorak consulting we know how to pep up your candidate with hookers

58:25 That would hurt. So you have the Bush dynasty basically destroyed by Donald Trump, which people should be very happy about... nobody is! No I personally consider it his greatest achievement to get rid of that Bush dynasty. Those guys! This Bushy comes on He failed on the Clintons by the way he failed on that I'm sorry what he failed on the Clintons. He didn't quite get rid of that now. I didn't quite get rid of no Ding ding ding them hard so this guy's name is lusting and so I have a little four-pack for parts of him talking to NPR okay, okay? Is it this in PR?

59:16 Yes, it's NPR. But there is an interview with this guy who hates Trump and he's a Republican and they pounded home and they try to do this I don't know how they're getting trying to pull this off but not all Republicans are bad Most of them, I guess are. So let's listen to this during Thursdays January 6th committee hearing one witness issued a dire warning to the country J. Michael Ludwig is a retired federal judge who revised Vice President Mike Pence that he could not overturn the results of the 2020 election despite pressure he was receiving from the president In his testimony this week, he said that almost two years after the riot at the US Capitol, quote Donald Trump and his allies and supporters are a clear and present danger to American democracy. Ludwig said we're at a crossroads similar to the ones the United States faced during the Civil War And he said America needs help

1:00:10 The question now is what kind and how should the country navigate its way through these crossroads? Judge Ludwig was appointed to the federal bench by George H.W. Bush, and before that worked for the Bush administration and also in the Reagan White House Michael Ludwig joins us now Thank you for being with us Can I ask you a question? The term clear and present danger Did that stem from anywhere but the Tom Clancy novel I don't know. I don't really know, I mean...I thought it was a Tom Clancy. Clancy was very good at titling things and coming up with little gimmicks and it probably wasn't Tom Clancy. Because the way it's said here, and this may be a millennial thing It is my belief that a lot of people believe that clear and present danger is a legal term And it maybe but I don't think so

1:01:10 But the way it was said in this report, Clear... If the January 6th committee is citing Tom Clancy. I mean seriously! Somebody might know. Okay. I mean if i was to guess, I would think that Tom Clancy came up with it as just a clever title but I can't say that it doesn't exist someplace else. Clear and present danger legal definition oh here we go There is a clear and present danger test originated in Schenck v United States says the printer spoken word may not be the subject of previous restraint or subsequent punishment unless it express Unless its expression creates a clear and present danger of bringing about a substantial evil. Jeez We need our lawyers on this I'd like to understand the the jurisprudence there we go I'd like to understand that juris prudence of clear and present danger, we move on

1:02:06 Okay, back to the judge. The Republican judge Thank you Adrian it's a pleasure to be with you this afternoon. You said in your testimony before the House Select Committee investigating the Capitol riot that we are in a war over our democracy but but that quote, only the party that instigated this war can end it. You're talking about the Republican Party so what's the first step to finding the peaceful end? Let's stop this clip let's take a look at the premise of this question and the guy buys into it by the way because he's in agreement with the premise. He wants a gig at NPR

1:02:57 When did the when did this begin this the battle? This is division which has gone back and hit by the way I think most people historians can see that's going back to Martin Van Buren or year before or John Adams But let's forget all that and just look at what's who's triggered it. Most recently. I'm putting them the onus on Obama Well, yes absolutely All right. Well, we're in agreement that we're an agreement now and agreement you're talking about the Republican Party So what's the first step to finding? The peaceful end to this war that you say our country needs I identified two wars That had been going on for at least two years this second war

1:03:45 is the war that I termed the War for America's Democracy. And I said that, that war... Okay stop! This guy talks just like Bill Barr he's not only a judge He's in the milieu Did you notice it? I know, i mean...I understand. I think the cadence is close but Bill Barr clones sound just like Bill Barr and this sounds just like Bill Barr. Okay, I'll start listening in to Bill, but I think the milieu is correct. Clear your mind and listen. At least two years the second war

1:04:24 is the war that I termed the War for America's Democracy. And I said that, that war for democracy began on January 6th 2021. And go on to say that through the logic of reconciliation that I propose it's incumbent upon the Republican Party to begin the reconciliation process. because the Republican Party was responsible for the instigation of that second war on January 6, 2021. It's especially in the O's I propose he does it owes yeah no I'm democracy democracy has to say and yes this is one of them is the report did get their old Republican Party is long dead

CHAPTER 15 / 40 Discussion

Mayra Flores Victory, Hispanic Republican Shift, Latinx Terminology

Mayra Flores' special election victory in Texas' 34th congressional district is highlighted as a significant shift in Hispanic voting patterns. The mainstream media's use of the term "Latinx" is mocked as being out of touch with the Catholic, family-oriented Hispanic community that is increasingly moving toward the Republican Party.

mayra flores· texas· republicans· hispanic voters· latinx

1:05:23 And Trump was really the embodiment of what people want, the direction that people wanted to go which was to be a little more populist. A little more oriented towards... Wish granted! Bing! Yeah well it was definitely a... Populist? But populous for sure but also uh more-more of a People's Party and an American People's Party as opposed to a socialist style of People's Party Right you know, representing labor. Workers sure and not to just click completely away from this I want to come back to but the thing that got my attention was something that I didn't see reported anywhere except on Liz Wheeler's podcast. I'm gonna play that oh goodness yeah I mean I'm digging around slow news day no it was just digging around

1:06:21 Where is this clip? Liz Wheeler. You want me to play Liz Wheeler? Not the one that says archive, I don't want you playing that one. There's a... there's.. you can find another one. Uh, WWWP No no no it's a text here is Texas. Play the Texas clip. Uh, Tex-Ass Hispanic winner? Yep La Ola Roja, the red wave of 2022 has begun my friend and it's starting in Texas. Maybe you have not heard of this name before a month or two months ago Maya Flores won the House seat in the 34th congressional district in Texas she is the first Mexican-born individual to now serve in the United States Congress she won in a special election on June 14 just this week

1:07:07 And what's striking about her victory here isn't actually her background per se. It isn't actually the fact that she was born in Mexico, it is the fact that she ran as a Republican in the second most Hispanic district in the entire country That's really not nobody's bragging about that. Yeah Tucker Carlson is Yo, besides Carlson and Hannity all the Fox the Fox evening line besides Fox But the mainstream media is not as No, I would say that it's used in the phone Because you don't you don't watch MSNBC and CNN I do yes It goes like this

1:07:51 You know, you know in Texas there's a Hispanic woman of Latinx when she was Republican. So that votes not so good! I think that was a perfect impression the Republicans the Hispanic community in general especially the Catholic family oriented Hispanic community is more likely to once they get a clue to go Republican new Republican not old Republican New Republican than they are to go Democrat. And so these new Republicans are a huge threat, which is the most Republicans are new Republicans now and there's still these old dogs that are out there and that's what they're talking about on this hearing and that's what this old judge is

CHAPTER 16 / 40 Discussion

Political Hypocrisy, Al Gore, 2000 Election Denial

The discussion focuses on the perceived hypocrisy of Democrats who criticize 2020 election denial while having questioned the results of the 2000 election for decades. Jeffrey Toobin's past comments on the 2000 Florida recount are cited as an example of long-standing election skepticism from the left.

al gore· 2000 election· jeffrey toobin· hypocrisy· election denial

1:08:41 talking about. He is an old fart that wants the Republican Party to return back to the Cleveland era. Yeah, he's classic Republican like Classic Coke, classic Republican CR. Not like new Republicans. Let's continue with him. What does that reconciliation process look like? What's required is a critical mass of our nation's leaders from both parties, to summon the moral and political courage to extend their hands to each other and then to their other colleagues. And all of those colleagues then to extend their hands to America and acknowledge that America is in peril

1:09:37 And that America needs their help. No it's not! Oh yeah, this... Put your hand in the hand of the man that made the waters That's what he's saying. It's what he's saying. Ugh. Or Yeah, or I'd like to teach the world to sing In perfect harmony Okay Buy Coca-Cola is what he was trying to say Exactly Alright, let's continue with this guy. Idea that we can get to a better place in our country when you have people at these important high levels who are denying the 2020 election results still? You don't and you can't.

1:10:19 Okay, let's stop there and ask this question. Jeffrey Toobin the favorite he such a favorite of the Democrats and such a fan-favorite that after masturbating on camera He still on CNN showing up from the waist up but if you recall we had But he repented! Yeah, sure he did. Once an Onanist always an Onanist. Now He's the one that was on the C-SPAN show which we had a clip of going on and on because C-SPAN guy mentioned that well they The this this was just a few years ago That 2020 election was re

1:11:08 surveyed by the Miami Herald who did a very thorough job and determined that yes, George Bush won. You mean the 2000 election you mean? The 2000... Okay, that's what I meant sorry. The two- good one! Two thousand election was re-surveyed and it turned out that yes George Bush did win and Toobin said no he didn't. I looked at that now he didn't win. George Bush did not end it denying, the Democrats have been denying the election of George Bush in 2000 to this day. I think Al Gore still comes on stage and says hi i'm the one who should have been the president so how is that different? You're doing whataboutism man! Yeah you're right okay onward with this with the judge. I just want...I'll just put this in place. I think as a general rule for us and I'm just as guilty

1:12:00 So I'm not picking on you, but who else will I pick on? It's you and me. Uh...I think complaining about hypocrisy is what every single podcast does! Every guest does it! Every host does it! Every podcast is hours of, he's so hypocritical! Hypocrisy! I didn't use the word hypocritical. I know you didn't but I think you understand what I'm saying Yeah, okay. Well I'm just... that's what I said let's get back to the clips! Well that was your fourth clip is there more? Oh that was the fourth clip?! That was this so-called kick. Oh they kick her okay never mind no there's no more i don't have anything to do with this guy By the way a quick callback to the renaming of monkeypox to MPX There was a suggestion in the troll room I wanted to float by us which is Bipox I think that's a great idea

Curious George Racism Claims, P-Word in Congress

The preemption of January 6th hearings by "Curious George" on PBS leads to a satirical discussion on whether the character is racist. The use of the "P-word" (pussy) in congressional testimony regarding Mike Pence is also noted as a strange moment in the hearings.

1:12:56 Don't think we can do it as a show title and probably get in trouble. That is a great It's a good one that would have been terrific, and it would have really targeted the gay community Yeah, it's the but it has its with an X by the way, it's by P OX not by pox no So this this riveting testimony was also preempted on many PBS stations by curious George I According to the Washington Post, which I wholeheartedly believe. Of course we can't keep... and I'm happy that the kid not you know what? You know isn't curious George problematic at this point

1:13:44 Don't you think a brown character that is a monkey, that does stuff and gets up to mischief... Isn't that kind of racist? Why is Curious George still on the air? And what network is it? Who would put that out? PBS! PBS stations. I think its time Call to call out not curious George what it is perfect candidate to make a fuss But I think Mo Facts would have a lot of fun with that Yes I mean, there's a lot of stuff to focus on these days but heck man let's have some fun with Curious George. Yeah! And whatever white supremacist disrupted the January 6 hearings for that racist show corrupting our children... Dad? I think there's your shoehorn right there Well that's what we would have done if we were producing it

1:14:47 We would have not been preempted by Curious George who said, wow it's really interesting PBS who gets you know money from all these big elites who by the way have not really donated yet. You know all the big foundations they are really sponsoring racism over that in fact they're covering up! They're trying to hide the real racist destruction of democracy we will democracy is on the brink and PBS wants our children watching racist monkeys There you go. And, and you can't...and who knows? Curious George might have the monkey pox! We could just keep it going By far the most irritating thing I didn't clip is the use of the P word. P word He said the p word What's the p word? Pussy he said that Mike Pence You're a pussy but that had to be uh...You didn't see this

1:15:40 No, I didn't. Oh man! I should have clipped it now. Yeah well we can say pussy in the hearing so we have to say he called Mike Pence the P word Well as you saw I said what is the p-word and unknowingly yeah i didn't think that was a word that was banned from Congress? What are they talking about here? It's bullcrap They used to just say it when Trump said grab her by the pussy, all the news stations were out there. Yeah they made a big fuss of saying it, they like to say it over and over again. I don't know. Giggling Yes! That's weird. Shit is weird man We did get corrected By an angry producer but Just so you know man There were people arrested with guns on January 6th It wasn't an unarmed insurrection okay?

YouTube Removes January 6th Committee Video

YouTube removed a video uploaded by the January 6th House panel because it contained footage of Donald Trump claiming the 2020 election was stolen. The platform cited its election integrity policy, which prohibits content advancing false claims of widespread fraud without sufficient context.

1:16:31 There's the guy with a gun good now there were four people Four people for people it takes to turn overthrow the government That's for have foregone four guns and some yahoo guys of four guns and some oath keepers. You're good to go Yeah, sorry it's worse than 9-11 man worst in Pearl Harbor whoo All right you have anything more on this debacle actually what else did I do? Oh yeah another thing we would know that YouTube removed video which was uploaded by the January 6, Jan 616 House panel themselves which included President Trump saying the 2020 general elections were quote stolen. So they took it down our election integrity policy prohibits content advancing false claims that widespread fraud errors or glitches change the outcome of the 2020 US presidential election if it does not provide sufficient context

1:17:37 We enforce our policies equally for everyone and have removed the video uploaded by the January 6th committee channel. What is wrong? I mean, if we were trying to make this work for the January 6th committee don't you think we would have clued in our YouTube buddies through the back door?" It's unbelievable! Let's face it, the January 6th Committee is incompetent And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you the man who put the sea in the incompetent January 6th committee. Ladies and gentlemen please say in the morning to Mr John C Dvorak! Well... In the morning to you Mr Adam Curry, in the morning ships to sea boots on the ground feed the air subs into water

John Steck Emails, Wet Bulb Temperature, Fuel Cells

A series of critical emails from listener John Steck are read, mocking the hosts' lack of knowledge regarding "wet bulb" temperatures and fuel cell technology. Steck shares anecdotes from his time working in the Middle East and India to explain the dangers of high humidity on the human body's ability to cool itself.

1:18:29 And all the dames and knights out there. And again a big happy Father's Day to all the dads out there, let's see how many of you trolls are dads? Let's just count all the trolls! Hands up there trolls let me see your scurry way eye ya ugly trolls hide if you can 2062 You know what that means lot of dads are just lonely today Whole bunch of people hanging on his shirt How do you come up with these things You're a comedic genius, man. They flash in my mind I can't do anything about it

That means it's federated so you can follow us from any Mastodon server, and there are plenty of them to find. You could always even set one up yourself! It's crazy how that works... And let us thank the artist who so generously contributed to episode 1460 Let's see, we titled that episode Wet Bulb. A lot of feedback on the title people kind of misunderstood that you know We understand the concept of wet bulb Hey man! That's been around forever! Wet bulb conditions are really bad You've never heard? I'm surprised you never heard of it The point was... Wet bulb was being used- That guy again That's Stek actually Does he ever email you

1:20:50 He used to email me all the time. So now he- But then he found... he's, okay, he's fickle And so I think one time or another, I said something to him. It must have offended him and he found a better target... you! Me? Well no actually he sends me many clips and some of them are very useful He's got good material, good observation everything about it but i think at some point since the way deal with this kind of thing because I do most my own research Let's face it, you blocked him

1:21:27 Don't think you blocked it. You must have that you don't do research when someone annoys you whatever it is block Come on now oh When you know there, you go your back? You got blocked I got blocked Well anyway what he like he sends great clips But he likes to comment on how dumb you are and I always say I would say email him man Why are you telling me so now I'd get satisfaction thing did I say this time I You didn't know what wet bulb is. Can I believe it? I'm surprised! Well, you know that I probably did know what a wet bulb is because there used to be an air pollution inspector and we used have these spinning thermometers And to get the relative humidity you'd go out and spin this thing and you would have these two thermometers and one of them had a little piece of cloth at the bottom Wet bulb? That you would wet

1:22:26 So there was a piece of it was like cheesecloth at the bottom and you would keep one of them wet and one of them would be Dry dry, and he'll spin this thing around and so because the wet and wherever it was I have it We had to kiss that person You spin it around, the wet side would cool off as you spun it. And then you get these two temperatures and make calculations to tell what the humidity was So yeah I know what it was. I think blue a wet bulb! A wet bulb? Is that a lightbulb? Is that LED? What are they talking about? Alright I'm gonna clue you in on this one

1:23:04 He's just, and I'm just telling you because this is an analysis. It's not how i feel about you or anything...I think he's an old guy who just wants to bitch about some other old guy Could be You know? And I'm always saying man! That old fart! He doesn't even know what a wet bulb is How can you listen to that guy? What he's really saying, I've always noticed guys who do this. Hold on let me find the email Why don't you fire him and put ME on your show That may... Now i get a lot of those Oh my goodness They never suggest John Steck

1:23:41 But I do get a lot of the, get rid of that man. Get John Steck on the show! Why don't you do a special show with John Steck? That would be good. I don't want to wait a minute wait a minute i got i gotta find one of his he sent an and the only reason i say this is he sent an exceptional amount today um what is this omg lol oh man here it is here it is the audience for being off the rail since the very beginning of the show but it's a father's day showing we knew what Dvorak may never have heard of it, but he may have slept through that class. Surprised it was new to him since he often says he worked in a laboratory where the term is routinely used to measure relative humidity The term is not routinely used just the device and you put some water on this little piece of cloth He's noises whoo! You got your wet bulb on today?

1:24:40 Routinely used? I don't think so. I did work in a lab and i can tell you right now this term wet bulb is not routinely used. Yeah but see here's his pitch the next paragraph you're right at any rate when i worked in the middle east decades ago, i was cautioned about the red sea coast of saudi and yemen he's showing to me that he's worldly In both of those places, as well as parts of India... I mean now he's a worldly guy. And elsewhere the humidity and air temperature often reaches a point at which the human body and most mammals can no longer expel body heat through sweating The air is already saturated cannot absorb more water Heat stroke and death results Chicago Yeah He's from Chicago No, I don't know why you mentioned Chicago That's a terrible place

1:25:25 Wow, okay. So anyway it was nice getting clips from Stek I guess that's gonna end. Yeah I guess so thank you! There you go people ladies and gentlemen there that's the thanks again It's been going on for so long for years where i say just email him these complaints why are you emailing me? How much complaining is he doing?! Okay Well, the block is coming. Okay let's see WTF this is all today 245 Thursday show Dvorak brings up the 2020 elections and you say yes let's look at it for a moment then you immediately bring up Michelle Obama running for president in 2024 Let's coin a new term for this reminiscent of Mandela The Dvorak Effect

Podcast Artwork, Tante Neill, Artist Blocking Controversy

The hosts review the artwork submitted for the episode, specifically praising Tante Neill's "Wet Bulb" contribution. A side discussion addresses rumors that one of the hosts blocks artists who provide critical feedback, specifically mentioning Dame Kenny Ben. The "BIPOC monkey" art for the current show is also acknowledged.

1:26:16 Fuel cell... this is all from today. Fuel cell fact check! I won't ridicule Dvorak for his uninformed comments because what's the point? But, God this is great content The problem with fuel cells which my former employer developed was it the Saudis? Is not ice out the tailpipe nor cold weather that's idiotic In fact they use fuel cells in their frigid expanses of outer space at minus 400 degrees Fahrenheit Hellooooo I hope this is funny for other people because i find this very good it's really, it's so um

1:26:58 It's relieving for me. The ice out the tailpipes comes from a guy who drove a fuel cell car, officially had one leased to him by Toyota I've driven them around and didn't know anything about the ice or the water flying out of the back like that...I was just reading his letter! Hey, I think you're right though By the way and i believe it to be true Just because you have some fuel cells aren't just hydrogen fuel cells there are plenty of different kinds of fuel cells Let's move on with the fun segment. Let's not get into fuel cells, he gives a crap! This is the next one and I think he's right and i'm putting him on the bench okay? I'm putting him as backup He-He is showing you're right here so we were talking about driver's education in the horrible movies You know he's gonna do you one better. He's prepping for his first to take over In my high school...you know So it's his high school clearly better than yours

1:27:52 One of the driver's ed teachers was also the ski club chaperone and sponsor. That dirtbag used to shack up with one of our 16-year old class sluts on ski weekends! That was common knowledge, no one seemed to care back in the day how things changed I wonder if Dvorak has similar stories? I was shacking out with some sixteen year old from Tennyson High Oh man! He is totally telling me that, you know... If you're tired of Dvorak I'm better and i'm here. And I've got stories. Well he's got some thats for sure My goodness OMG LOL Dvorak literally LITERALLY couldn't recall what he said to you five seconds earlier about the January 6th 5 second hearing time wasters That excerpt should be next Sundays clip o' the day

1:28:50 Whoa, is he pissed off at me for what? Just so you know this has been like this for years. Yeah it's been four year since I stopped hearing from him Maybe you should unblock him and let them email you. I think you guys might have some things in common Oh Briton such f-off stupid troll here we go Thank you very much, Tantanil for the artwork for episode 1460 which again we titled Wet Bulb. We won't go through that again There were there were a couple of pieces of art now This is the carpooling cuts your expenses by 33% Very nice people said tri-carpooling was very nice It was really quite nice and there were some other things that we looked at. It's a free covfefe I thought that was funny Yeah, yeah exactly had nice little things in their little extra bits

1:29:48 Well, this was not an original choice because we couldn't come up with anything. And you liked the phone but I didn't like the phone... There wasn't really a good selection of this particular thing. It was hard on the basis that what we talked about in the show there wasn't a lot of material that could turn into art. Let me see what we were looking at? This squirt was kind of amusing but we weren't going to go with that No, it was funny though because it was such a throwaway line I didn't expect anything to pop up about squirt. Yeah Let me see Was that monkey? Was that monkey pox question the name renaming of monkey parks? You think that might have been on there Contagious boils syndrome we had on their CBS with the CBS logo in the monkey face That was close Yes

1:30:45 But it wasn't a great piece. No, we didn't have any... there were no great pieces the only good piece was this Well I liked the LGBTQ The cross with like us like a strength weakness opportunity and risk type of grid It was a pink cross Oh that one yeah? Yeah you liked that one. It's okay. It was okay There were lots of Karina Abdul Jean Pierre and the diversity woman. Right, but it's just to put a woman on there with the rainbow flag I mean it wasn't getting me

1:31:31 No, the only good piece was Tante Neill's. Yeah and she did two... didn't she do two of them? She did an earlier one that wasn't as good. Then this one nailed it. Then she pumped up to pump it up We appreciate you Tante Neill thank you very much for submitting your artwork all the artists look at the amount of work that goes into it I want to start seeing art again from Dame Kenny Ben Who got irked with me much the way John Steck was. You need to unblock her! I did, i finally found out how to do it Have you blocked any other artists? No, I haven't blocked artists, I don't block artists Well she said she blocked YOU

1:32:10 Or she and she's I think she may have stopped sitting like a me if because you blocked you blocked artists. I think you blocked some other artists, too No, I've never blocked any order. You're an artist blogger Yeah, no, I block that one guy who claimed to be an artist? I have no idea whatever or he did and he was bitching in Moanin and you're an artist blocker you blocking creative spirit this is Stacks gonna email me now And that one, and that guy was just a troublemaker so I couldn't stand it. So I just blocked him. Okay! Tantanil, thank you very much. You can follow along if you're listening live just refresh during the show. You can see the artists are uploading as we speak I mean there's already a BIPOC monkey up there people are so fast and so good and we appreciate it is part of the value for value model now look around how many podcasts have fresh good really good album art every single show well you can count them on one hand if that and that's because of how we've done things

CHAPTER 22 / 40 Discussion

Metal Spirits Vodka, RODECaster Pro II, Tech Review Integrity

A donor promotes "Metal Spirits," a new vodka and whiskey brand. The hosts discuss the release of the RODECaster Pro II, criticizing tech manufacturers for sending free units to "dipshit YouTubers" while ignoring established podcasters. The lack of honesty in tech journalism, specifically regarding Apple and Leo Laporte, is critiqued.

metal spirits· rodecaster pro ii· tech reviews· leo laporte· apple

1:43:25 This week I filled up my truck with stupid expensive gas and the universe spoke to me again displaying a fuel range of 333 miles. Pick attached. Given the higher producer output lately, I figured I needed... given the lighter, lighter producer output yes lighter producers but I figured I need to do my part In return I may humbly ask for a little plug for our new vodka and whiskey company Metal Spirits You should talk to Darren O'Neal about this. We're a lifestyle brand, it's called metalspirits.com metal like metalhead

1:44:05 We're a lifestyle brand that also has some of the smoothest vodka and rye whiskeys you'll ever taste. We'll be launching toward the end of summer, but I'd love to get a bunch of No Agenda producers to check us out and leave their email for exclusive offers to The Metal Spirits Tribe and for No Agenda Nation! Email is critical so we don't have to rely as much on Facebook and other social media outlets. And yes, I will be sending you both samples for your brutally honest assessment." Oh boy! Yes yeah you know what? I love that i love that people do that um there's the new uh RODECaster Pro Mark 2 is coming out and this may be the one...I think they may have done it

1:44:49 Every, every YouTuber. Every dipshit on YouTube. Every dipshit who has a podcast gets one to try out I'm still waiting for the one i paid for Wait a minute. Well, let me finish this note and then I'll say this. And yes it continues... I'll be sending you both samples no jingles but a big one venture karma would be appreciated cheers and F Tito's which is a vodka from Texas. So Dave goes. You've got karma Okay so let me get this straight

1:45:32 I'd say the inventor of podcasting, but everyone says the co-inventor. But let's just say that and someone who dabbles in electronics and kind of knows what's what, and is considered probably the best sound guy of all the people doing podcasts. You're the definitive sound guy. You're the guy who you would send this thing to immediately to get some feedback. But instead they stiff you and sends you nothing because I believe my original thesis, I believe they are afraid that your gonna sue them Oh, that's really too bad. Almost every other manufacturer of some device... No there have been two I've had contact with no one has sent me anything honestly not a single one you know why? The reason is not because they're afraid i'm going to sue them because I won't and I have no intention of suing them You know it's I'm sure taking a lot of money time and effort And they've developed not 1 but 2 this is the second hardware device To get something that I could advise them on

1:46:34 seven years ago so they could have gotten it right the first time. That's okay, because it's not about money for me It's not about...it's about making it easy for podcasters to do a podcast and record it and do it properly And be able to do by themselves and not have some engineer go back in and be like you know the... Some Hollywood producer to create this whole soundtrack What they're afraid of is that I'm going to be honest You see, the YouTubers and the podcasters they send it to those guys aren't gonna slam it. You know how this works. Now you are the exception because you are the one person who will do a review...you'll take the junket, you'll go on that, you'll go to China They'll wine and dine you And then you give their product a shit review because your figure they're not going ask you back anyway And that's the way to do it I would give an honest review

1:47:30 And I would even, I would tell them privately. When I take the free junket, I always gave an honest review Yes because you didn't care if they invited you back Right, so it could have been good. It could have been bad if it was good or bad doesn't make any difference because you never get invited back You get invited once and this is a one-off But this is what Leo Laporte changed when he started sucking off tech companies about their latest phone the whole industry the whole tech news and opinion shows, you know it's all I think, I think, I think. No one ever is honest really honest because they don't want to get cut off they don't want the supply cut off they'll never say Apple sucks because then they won't get any more demo machines or get invited to whatever stupid meeting you have to go to

1:48:23 Yeah. This is rampant throughout technology and so they'll send these things because... You started way before Leo, I should add. Of course! And Leo still buys most of his stuff. Yeah but he deserves to get slammed just from time-to-time. From time-to-time? I need to do that. He hates you. We can line up behind Darren O'Neal okay It was Darren yeah, but Darren's. Yeah anyway the point is if they had asked me I would have viewed it And I would have told them privately I wouldn't I wouldn't put them to shame But now hey I think they're idiots right but not but now that and I had to buy it You just wait you just and your earlier complaint? I have to say this is one of the reasons people should be listening in this segment because I'm gonna play a clip oh man earlier complain about yes

Liz Wheeler Show Production Overhead, New Media Economics

The production credits of The Liz Wheeler Show are analyzed, revealing a staff of nine people for a single podcast. This high overhead is contrasted with the "value for value" model, with the hosts arguing that such traditional production structures are unsustainable in the new media landscape.

1:49:14 Your earlier complaint about the reason for having a good device is so people can actually produce something without a million people. I have a What's Wrong With This podcast clip, and this is our friend Liz Wheeler at the end of her podcast and this is gonna tell you what's wrong with podcasting in general. Tell me how you're gonna make money after listening to this? Thank you for listening! I'm Liz Wheeler. This is The Liz Wheeler Show The Liz Wheeler Show is produced by Jonathan Hay, Executive Producer Chad Abbott, Director of Photography Kevin McRoberts, Editor Alejandro Figuerela, Sound Mixer Robin Fenderson, Director of Marketing Emily Waschler, Production and Talent Coordinator Matt Toffler and Senior Publicist Patricia Jackson. This has been a Soundfront production. Oh my goodness! Nine people total including her

1:50:10 Well, this is it's it's not that you don't need a lot of producers to help you create as great show It's if it's not value for value and people aren't doing this voluntarily because they take ownership of the production Which I'm sure is not the case with her podcast but then you have to pay him and then these people need to have a union And this is why you can't monetize the network.

Noodle Boy Origins, 2011 Seattle Protest, Woke Genesis

The hosts revisit the 2011 "Noodle Boy" clip, featuring a young restaurant worker in Seattle advocating for workers to seize the means of production from the owner. This clip is identified as the "genesis of woke" culture and socialist entitlement that has since become mainstream.

noodle boy· seattle· socialism· bill maher· woke

1:58:46 That we bring everybody who never heard it back up to speed so they understand when we're talking about Noodle Boy, what that means or what the genesis is of Noodle Boy. Yeah? So I'd like to you know... We do this every year or so let's play the noodle boy clip three times a year yeah now this I have it as 2011 the original noodle noodle boy clip and Could you give us the premise? Because this is how long this show has been tracking wokeness. We didn't have a term for it ten years ago, when many of the very same people who are being woke right now weren't even teenagers! Yes, this was a clip taken from a... I don't know if it was an open mic or interview or...? There was a protest in Seattle, wasn't there?

1:59:39 Might have been Portland, it was some woke community. It was someone in the West Coast areas that's for sure but there was a guy who worked at Noodles Inc which is I think what the name of it was a restaurant chain that serve noodles. There was one in Berkeley, and the guy worked there and he was like a busboy or something along those lines and he was pontificating as to what was wrong with this place because you know, he wasn't the boss kind of thing which we run into occasionally with everyone, every generation has these people but this guy was the worst

2:00:19 the way we saw it and because of what he wanted. It was just a bunch of socialism is what it amounted to, and privilege and extreme privilege yeah not white privilege no just privileged And it's only a minute 20, but here it is. Just listen to the original, the OG, the genesis of Woke. Here is The Noodle Boy Well like I described earlier there are two fundamental classes that are just a plain fact in society You either work for someone else or you work for yourself and most people work for someone else In a way that they aren't free

2:00:58 You don't really get to decide your work. For example, I work at Noodles a restaurant and basically it's a dictatorship there We're told exactly what we're going to cook How are you gonna cook it? What time are we gonna get there and basically if they don't like what they doing They try to tell us what to do If we don't listen they get rid of us And so we aren't able to actually co-operate cooperate in a way that we make decisions together. I try to convince my fellow employees that we should have a union at Noodles, so it's a source of power just to start with and then i think in terms of the bigger picture when you look at revolutions the way that you actually get rid of any sort of dictatorship is by having workers take control of the place where they work Would your plan...your vision for Noodles?

2:01:46 Would it include the owner? What capacity would he be granted?" If the owner wanted to cooperate with us as an equal and provide his skills that he had, we would definitely cooperate with him. We'd have to abdicate his position of being an owner and controller of us and he would have to recognize that...we run noodles together and basically if he doesn't want to cooperate with us, he's against us." The owner, he should be on equal footing. The owner! I mean if he doesn't want to collaborate then he's our enemy Yeah, workers control the means of production. Very Leninist thing and you know this over the years has grown and we went through You know what came in or the bullying at school? And then there were bullying laws and you know We foolishly as an extra in a boomer used to say well up on the sticks and stones will break my bones man And you know we got slapped away for that shut-up boomer

2:02:46 You know what you're talking about. It's violence, it's violence and so now you get hit by the pasta glock. I'm gonna shoot ya in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit! I got my pasta glock locked and loaded So ten years later happy to see a recovering noodle boy Bill Maher You know, even though it's very weird to see him still hammered down on certain topics where he just seems off the rails and illogical. The election? The election yeah...

2:03:29 I think irrational. He's irrational. Irrational and we should actually talk about the, because i guess you saw the episode but at the end he did his new rules or whatever...I'm not gonna just gonna play 50 seconds of it an eight-minute segment You should be watching him! Because he won't be on much longer. Funny, do you think my generation is in eye roll? Let me tell a little secret about the younger generations no one wants to hire you Your sense of entitlement is legendary and, with notable exceptions your attention span and worth ethic suck. Here's a story you never stop hearing around Hollywood Unqualified little shit who has been here all of six months doesn't understand why he's not a producer yet

Bill Maher on Millennial Work Ethic, Peer Group Influence

Bill Maher's recent monologue regarding the poor work ethic and entitlement of the younger generation is discussed. An anecdote is shared about a former employee whose diet of Red Bull and Hot Pockets was only changed through peer pressure on YouTube, suggesting that Millennials only listen to their own age group.

bill maher· millennials· work ethic· hot pockets· red bull

2:02:46 You know what you're talking about. It's violence, it's violence and so now you get hit by the pasta glock. I'm gonna shoot ya in the face with my noodle gun, you racist piece of shit! I got my pasta glock locked and loaded So ten years later happy to see a recovering noodle boy Bill Maher You know, even though it's very weird to see him still hammered down on certain topics where he just seems off the rails and illogical. The election? The election yeah...

2:03:29 I think irrational. He's irrational. Irrational and we should actually talk about the, because i guess you saw the episode but at the end he did his new rules or whatever...I'm not gonna just gonna play 50 seconds of it an eight-minute segment You should be watching him! Because he won't be on much longer. Funny, do you think my generation is in eye roll? Let me tell a little secret about the younger generations no one wants to hire you Your sense of entitlement is legendary and, with notable exceptions your attention span and worth ethic suck. Here's a story you never stop hearing around Hollywood Unqualified little shit who has been here all of six months doesn't understand why he's not a producer yet

2:04:27 This Washington Post story had such resonance because it's behavior we all recognize There is a war going on within the millennial generation And he's so right because we're seeing it right here millennial actual producers Who rightly call themselves producers of the no agenda show? Tons of Millennials and they're not these crazies So I think we need to call in the Millennials To do something about their peer group We can't do it. I mean, that's also lame when old people tell you what to do Most of these generations have their peer group they pay more attention than anything else now That is what happened over at Mevio When I took those and posted those videos of Eddie Remember him? Eddie the heartthrob The girls went for him that is for sure

2:05:23 He, his lunches consisted of Red Bull and Hot Pockets. Yes! And so everybody in the office was telling me stop eating these, this is gonna make you sick this lunch. I said great and so i took a movie of him eating and bragging about the red bull and hot pockets lunch and posted it on YouTube and the feedback from his peers changed it and he went to, it was unbelievable. It's like a reverse of everything and he never ate hot pocket again hated Red Bull and eat salads for lunch but it wasn't because of anything we said no no it had to come from the peer group I had to post it on YouTube to save this guy's life and I believe honestly believe I saved his life

2:06:10 So, uh... He still emails from- you get an email from him? I get an email from time to time. Yeah he's a good guy. Anyway so that's what has to be done now as opposed to millennials not being good workers my daughter i think is one of the best workers I've ever run into! But she's not she's not an idiot like these No she's not and she's not only really a good worker She works for an operation now where she does their posters and there's all these things However let me ask you question And this is something you should ask her because I have heard this and it seems to be rather universal with Millennials Even the really good workers. They seem to Think that work is no longer, work No longer defines who you are a job Is just a thing you do so you can live your life and I think that is prevalent amongst the entire generation

New York Banker, Austin Restaurant Privilege, Bitcoin Scam Claims

A dinner with a former New York banker in Austin reveals the "VIP hotline" system used by wealthy residents to bypass restaurant reservation shortages. The banker's dismissal of Bitcoin as a "scam" is analyzed, with the hosts suggesting that the banking establishment's real fear is Bitcoin's potential as a sovereign currency.

austin· bitcoin· paul krugman· bollinger· reverse repo market

2:07:06 The idea of, of course we all know 50 years at the company gold watch that's not true. But you know even just the whole... No job is no longer a part of the fabric and they don't even care what you do for a living I don't think that's unique to millennials. I was that way most of my life. You're that way now You know, the reason I say this is we had dinner with the former New York banker Friday night. And he says... Are they coming to town? No, we went we stayed over at their house. We did one of those rich people things you know yeah Oh banker can I stay at your home? Can I have a coxie? Can I have one good martini please dry make sure it's dry It's the Bollinger. We don't drink martinis. Actually I took a picture of the wine. Did you have some bollinger? Yes that's his house champagne bro

2:08:07 It is. Would you like some bubblies? Yeah, I'm like let me... Bollinger he says oh yes very right spot-on did you know the former New York Banker's British Tablas Creek Vineyard yeah what about it 2019 Mourvedre that's a that's a Texas wine isn't it I don't know it was very good yeah Mourvedre yeah well they can grow that there do you think it was in Texas wine might have been I know they grow a lot of Movedra and Tempranillo in Texas. So this is the former New York banker, this is how he rolls. You know if you want to get a Friday night dinner reservation in Austin, I don't have to tell you can just forget it

2:08:55 You just forget it. Because most, and now he's from New York but most of the Californians they came into Austin and they started doing the following They start making reservations at all the good restaurants four or five weeks in advance And as it comes up They'll just cancel whatever they don't want to go to if it cost me 10 20 50 bucks who cares? Which of course makes it impossible To get a reservation So what the former New York banker did is he joined the investment group for this restaurant group which owns several top restaurants in Austin and you know, I don't know how big it is but he gets a VIP hotline where he can call. That was pretty sexy. You can just call him!

2:09:42 No, I think not because you have to show your card and yeah. Yeah. No, I don't think that just... You can't do that It's got to be you. See why not? Now if you come the town we'll give it a shot. What kind of privilege is if you can like pass it off your friends as a comp, as a perk So after the Bollinger and the wine he..I wrote it down You're living it up. Go on! Oh yeah, I wrote it down and left to ask him again. I had a beer over the weekend We were talking about the reverse repo market which the last time we talked about it he was shocking It's at 1 trillion dollars now it's above 2 trillion dollars And said and he says you know I just want to tell you but there are the reverse of repo market He said what? He says not you have to understand what's going on The banks are mad at the Fed that's why they're doing this

2:10:27 And I don't remember the rest of the story. So, I'm gonna have to get that from him." I know! Well here's what happened... Yeah, I know what happened. One glass of Bollinger and you're done. That didn't help. The reason was as i'm listening to him And I did, I could have closed my eyes and all I heard was Paul Krugman. What a nightmare! He's like this is not a problem inflation is good because it creates wage inflation...I'm just like I don't know man pass the dutchie by the left-hand side. Oh yeah Bitcoin is a scam he did tell me that I'm glad to know

2:11:10 And I said, why is it? Who's profiting from the scam and this Terry that is the issue Well This was a this was a big moment for me the New York banker. I know he doesn't like Bitcoin and then we talked He understands very well what the shit coin meltdown is all about You know This is the DeFi crap which is all outside of Bitcoin as far as I'm concerned and this is melting down A lot of people are gonna get hurt real bad and they deserve it because this is also crap that they think they've invested in. With Bitcoin I said, all right so if it's a scam who is benefiting? He says well it's not really about that and now my interest peaks up and I'm like oh hold on a second what is the scam he says countries governments will never allow to be used as currency That told me that its not a scam that told me that I think the banking world was a little worried about

CHAPTER 28 / 40 Discussion

Central Bank Digital Currency, Jay Powell, The Great Reset

Federal Reserve Chairman Jay Powell's comments on the development of a US Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) are examined. The hosts link the push for CBDCs and the de-platforming of Russia from the SWIFT network to "The Great Reset," suggesting a slow-motion repricing of global currencies is underway.

central bank digital currency· jay powell· federal reserve· the great reset· swift

2:12:09 That would be a good interpretation. I think you could, that's valid. That was to me it was like holy crap! You know? It's like okay you can't tell me who is benefiting so maybe not as... you can call it dumb and there are actual countries. I mean if you want to call El Salvador its country. There are a lot of issues with it but they accept that as legal term but that was his argument and I found that to be quite telling especially in light of all the things going on with the other thing that will never happen, central bank digital currency. Here's our boss over there at the Federal Reserve Jay Powell. Looking forward rapid changes are taking place in the global monetary system that may affect the international role of the dollar in the future most major economies already have or are in the process of developing instant 24-7 payments our own FedNow service will be coming online in 2023

2:13:06 And in light of the tremendous growth in crypto assets and stable coins, we are examining whether a U.S. central bank digital currency would improve upon what is an already safe and efficient domestic payment system As our white paper on this topic notes, a US CBDC could also potentially help maintain the dollar's international standing Since when does the dollar need help in international standing? Is it in trouble? It's growing in value by the day, it's becoming an issue. Ah! Why is that an issue? Because when our dollar becomes worth more than our exports cost more to buy and it kills our export market And it increases our import market which is always a problem because we're taking too much shit in from China as it is now We're getting gonna get more stuff cheaper So what's wrong? Well there's nothing wrong if you don't mind breaking the back of their whole country's manufacturing sector

2:14:04 Wasn't that the point? I don't know, was that the point? Oh i'm sure this is the point. Of course it's the great reset even see... That's the point of the Democrats and other Republicans were not pushing that Well CNBC is Welcome as usual to a very busy Fed As we track this killing The Dow breaking below 30 000 lowest level in more than a year So what's ahead for equities for bonds and the market as it undergoes This great reset with new opportunities potentially We've got a big hour ahead as we track this continuing sell-off. Just saying! Were you aware of a great reset? I think listening to you, I'm more than aware and listening to the idiots at the UN yeah there's a great reset well what is this great reset when is it going to happen um give me a date

2:14:58 I'm not, there's no date it is happening in slow motion. The recent... Although okay so here's what the whisper is There's going to be a repricing of all currencies There has to be some kind of equity equalization the rumor is that will be gold back which you know makes really only... I am just telling you the rumor! I don't know, I really don't know nothing All I know is that I like Bitcoin and you can laugh at that too Yeah, why bother? So you know it's happening. I mean when you kick off and you de-platform an entire country from the SWIFT payment network there is something being reset

2:15:43 You know? And I don't know if it means people go away, countries disintegrate. We just don't see them anymore we might as well... Russia there's geo-blocks everywhere you can get to a lot of things you can talk to them they can pay you and you can pay them not talking about for oil and stuff just people who use services. I like the signage in front of liquor store in front of a bottle of Stoli with a big giant yellow sign, Made in Latvia. Just so you know it's good! So it's not from Russia even though its Russian we won't do that. Let's talk about our great recent let's go to this I want to get this out of the way these are this big election I've talked about before nobody is talking about except some people on NPR and this is what's going on in Colombia because Columbia is about to fall into communism

CHAPTER 29 / 40 Discussion

Colombia Presidential Election, Gustavo Petro, Rodolfo Hernández

The final round of the Colombian presidential election is analyzed, featuring leftist Gustavo Petro and populist Rodolfo Hernández. Petro's platform of increasing corporate taxes and state intervention is compared to global socialist trends. The hosts predict that Colombia will likely follow other South American nations into a socialist model.

colombia· gustavo petro· rodolfo hernández· socialism· bogota

2:16:36 And it's the last place you'd expect this, but let's listen to about the elections coming up in Colombia. And you're going to start hearing that just kind of socialist beliefs actually before we play these clips I want to play this clip about poverty in United States is a point-of-view because poverty clip with government kicker on NPR. Large numbers of people from around the country gathered in Washington today calling for more policies to aid poor people and low-wage workers as Ryan Bank of member station WAMU reports many of the attendees and the organizers have experienced poverty themselves

2:17:18 The Poor People's and Low-Wage Workers' Assembly was organized by the Poor Peoples Campaign, a revival of the movement started by Martin Luther King Jr. before his death in 1968 Attendees and organizers like Ashley Marshall say there is still a long way to go before poverty is eradicated. Marshall says the issue hits close to home I've lived, I'm still living it and at the end of today our brothers our sisters our moms are dads like we all deserve We all deserve to live in thrive in this country And we just need our government to create policies To make that happen

2:17:56 This is the socialist ideal, which is the government does everything. And we've seen this creeping into everything before I know the government needs to oh there's a garbage in front of my eyes as a bunch of paper from my house where's the government? How come they're not coming and cleaning it so here we go to Columbia can I just say no I'll bring you back up bring about Go ahead. I was gonna talk let's go to Columbia listen to this because you're going to start hearing the same kind of things from the socialist candidate in Colombia and this is really, this has been sneaking up on us and we've always got to fight it because it never ends well. So this Columbia election socialist. Colombians will go to the polls tomorrow In the final round of a presidential election that's had many surprises there are two anti-establishment candidates on the ballot A senator and former guerrilla rebel Gustavo Petro And a former mayor and businessman turned populist Rodolfo Hernández

2:18:52 Reporter Manuel Rueda is in Bogota and he joins us now. Welcome! Thank you Because of these two candidates, this has been described as an historic election in Colombia Why is it different from previous presidential elections? Well the thing that's unique about this election Is that none of the traditional political parties have been ruling Columbia for decades is participating I mean, they had a candidate that they supported in the first round of the election. But he didn't make the threshold to participate in the second round. So now we are basically left with two different kinds of outsiders you could say that don't belong to the traditional political parties. Well tell us a little bit about each of the candidates and let's start with Gustavo Petro, the leftist candidate

2:19:38 Well, Petro's been in politics for four decades. He started his career as a member of a rebel group known as the M19 movement and that group made peace with the government in 1991 and since then Petra has been in all the government positions you can imagine congressman senator mayor of Bogota And his platform is pretty much based on decreasing social and economic inequalities And what he believes is that the state can play a big role in decreasing those inequalities. So, he wants to increase taxes on corporations, raise import duties on food that can be produced in Colombia to give local farmers an advantage. In one way it's quite a traditional kind of left-wing platform that he's running on.

2:20:31 Yeah, well what does that sound like? Sounds like every country in the world now. That's the point! Which is that this split that idiot judge was talking about saying you know Republicans are a bunch of bad people... The split that's in this country is exactly the same as every place else It's the same in the Netherlands it's the same in the UK it's all the same yeah This big split and one side is the one reflected by that poverty union saying that, you know we want the government to do all this everything for us. We deserve it and I think is a very popular...I think this election's interesting because it's going to

2:21:10 The way it goes in South America, they always go socialist when they can. And I think that's what's gonna happen in Colombia. This is the part two and they talk about the other guy. I understand he has also been very critical of the drug war and the Colombian military? Yes absolutely um... He's described uh sort of the U.S.-led war on drugs as a failure. So what you might see with Petro's president is a higher focus on investing in rural areas to give the farmers their alternatives to growing these illegal and these isolated rural areas. Well, tell us about Rodolfo Hernández. He's been described as right-wing populist similar in style to Donald Trump

2:21:54 Trump. Is that a fair characterization? Well, I think in terms of character he's somewhat similar to Trump you know he said lots of off-the-cuff statements that are offensive to different groups of the population so for example you know in an interview last week he said that he would prefer that women stay at home and take care of the children but this can't happen because the economy is in such bad shape Oh, he's similar to Trump. But he is different in that he is coming into this election on his own without the support of a major political party, based on the very anti-corruption message. You know, his platform is basically let's go after corruption. What he believes is that there is enough money in the states to take care of social problems as long as waste and corruption are reduced. Is there a clear favorite?

2:22:51 There's not a clear favorite. In most polls, both candidates are within one percentage point of each other and the problem in Colombia is that you can only publish polls until one week prior to the election so it's going to be a very tight election which might generate some problems if one of the candidates doesn't accept the results Like the Trump guy. Right, so let's I have some stuff to share about this thinking the government will fix it first of all I grew up in a country where this was the culture and to this day still is the culture has only gotten worse yep in the Netherlands just like oh yeah and you got right it's your right man it's your right! It's your right!

Stimulus Checks, Gas Rebate Cards, Chip Shortages

The long-term psychological impact of pandemic-era stimulus checks is discussed, with reports suggesting they "rewired" how Americans view government intervention. The White House's consideration of gas rebate cards is noted, though production is reportedly hampered by the global semiconductor chip shortage.

stimulus checks· gas rebates· chip shortage· inflation· white house

2:23:37 CNBC published an interesting article yesterday. Pandemic era checks, that's the stimmy checks rewired how these Americans see money quote stimulus changed how I think about what's possible key points pandemic-era stimulus checks help many Americans pay bills reduce debt and build savings for some the payments altered how they think about money The stimulus changed how I think about what's possible, personal spending habits and the way in which i manage my money," says Denise Diaz a recipient who lives outside of Orlando Florida. And then this whole article is showing that people have seen that clearly governments can step in and fix something now

2:24:20 I know that they don't understand the fiat or central banking money system, or how it really works. You know there's probably more just slogans and talking points but ultimately they got checks and they got good checks and certainly people who had multiple childrens running around got really nice checks some of them you know 10 grand because you've got money for every single child so this really changed the way people think And it makes nothing but sense then that this report from the Washington Post comes out, that the White House has been working on gas rebate cards to hand out to people

2:25:01 And they can't make them. They can't do this with the typical debit card or you know, which is I guess that probably they're out of them is what's happening There's no chip there's chip shortages So the little debit card chip does not enough on those probably because they gave them all to illegal immigrants coming in so They're working now on how they can use their emergency powers to alleviate The energy costs that people are experiencing right now Which is exactly what today's young working-class person would expect from their government. Well, I mean it was COVID we got paid you know look at this man that's Putin you know just it was all Putin's price hike so you know he should probably get paid and they're working on it and this is a dramatic shift for America dramatic shift um and it's only going to get worse

Kansas Coal Train Derailment, Union Pacific Service Failures

A massive coal train derailment in Lawrence, Kansas, is reported, which threatens to disrupt the transport of poultry feed. The incident is linked to staffing shortages at Union Pacific caused by vaccine mandates, leading to the hiring of inexperienced workers who may not know how to properly balance and organize long trains.

coal train· kansas· union pacific· derailment· vaccine mandates

2:26:03 The fuel, it's like one thing after another. This is the latest that is going to be great for energy costs in America this is for your electricity A massive clean up effort continues today after at least 20 cars from a coal train ran off the rails yesterday evening near Lawrence Authorities say the derailment happened near North 1900 Road Large amounts of coal spilled across the area but fortunately no one was hurt Road remains shut down near the crossing as an investigation continues. Did you see this? This coal train? No, I missed this completely! Oh my goodness it's a mess! I look at that... just to do a quick bing it... Coal Train Kansas derailed. It must be 15-20 cars filled with coal have derailed their perpendicular

2:26:55 So they're sideways on the tracks, all the coal is spilled out and it could take a while to clean up. And that of course will slow down other things that need to be transported by rail such as very important feed for the chickens. Let me see its the... The mess! Who was this? California Feed & Poultry Producer who was this again This is from trains.com, you should definitely look at trains.com California feed and poultry producer seeks emergency order due to Union Pacific service failures this the same thing we heard from that the deaf guy the not deaf as in can't hear but the diesel engine fuel or whatever that is the additive

2:27:42 United Union Pacific says it's working to improve service to foster farms who asked regulators to deny their emergency service order. This is what they said that they And this is a common carrier as you pointed out. They're screwing everybody and I don't understand... We got a letter from a guy that works at Union Pacific, and he goes on about how they uh A lot of this has to do with it because Union Pacific was the companies that fired a bunch of people because they wouldn't get the jab Right, which is very good in every industry because the shot seems to be some port sort of a you know Look at your airline. Look at your airline cancellations after another cuz they wouldn't get the jab so and so they didn't get these guys rehired and there's a shortage of people and he says one of the real problems is that Some of the people that are still working There were the people who knew the newbies that they brought in cuz they did hire People don't know how to organize a train properly

2:28:44 because they derail if you don't set them up where you got the right number of engines and the engine's in the middle, engine is at the back. You know, you gotta know how to do this and I'm looking at this coal thing and looking at Union Pacific, there's BNSF, the one that I'm looking at right now, I guess it was Union Pacific. This is what it was! Somebody put this train together that was incompetent and the thing just fell off the tracks because according to this guy who works there, it's not trivial No, that's the same as flying an airplane. It is non-trivial but if you fire all the good guys bad things might happen! Well thats what they did this is management modern management So this is hurting farmers and farmers are speaking up everywhere

CHAPTER 32 / 40 Discussion

Food Inflation, Fertilizer Crisis, Cricket Protein Bars

A TikTok farmer's warning about skyrocketing feed and fertilizer costs is highlighted, predicting significant food price increases by late 2022. In response to the crisis, an Austin-based company is promoting protein bars made from crickets, which the hosts view as part of a push toward alternative, less desirable food sources.

food prices· fertilizer· crickets· protein bars· austin

2:29:32 Here's a farmer on TikTok desperately trying to explain what is happening. So I got in conversation today and the woman honestly, bless her heart, honestly thinks that food prices are not going to go up she thinks that this is the highest they're gonna go. I tried to explain to her that was not the case but they were absolutely gonna go up even more And I told her there are things that like we have to buy. There's something we had to buy that two years ago cost us $24 last year was about 46 this year it is costing us 96 dollars, okay? Local farmer 50 had a cattle its costing him eight thousand dollars a month to feed them please understand food prices are going to go up and

2:30:15 You want to act like it's the farmers fault. It is not the farmers fault We're barely making it to grow this stuff so you guys are able to get in August September October Okay, guys This is that going away stop sticking your head in the sand and thinking oh, it's gonna be okay. It's not gonna fucking be okay Whoa? She's mad she's mad and rightly So now here's how misguided we are as a country as a people as a generation maybe How do we help the farmers? Now, we know the farmers are in trouble because of the fertilizer crisis. All part of the energy and petroleum crisis. All part of inflation. All part of all these issues It's all Putin's fault! Just remember that

2:30:58 So what do people come up with? Oh, we have to do something to help the farmers. So now we introduce the pea cyclers! Yes this is people who and of course human urine has properties that will work very well as fertilizer But to think that we're all gonna sing Kumbaya, get together and pee in buckets and it's gonna work? And we're gonna save our food supply. What do they teach people in school?! People have no idea where their food comes from! They don't know!! And there's also a severe lack of knowledge of history, of food being used as a control mechanism. Yes I do think this is evil in our government and that food shortages will be used to control us and the United States itself has a history which i was unaware of. This is the 1872 slaughter of the buffalo. I'm bringing this up because all the dead cattle that are popping

2:32:02 Because of the extreme heat it's a subtle sudden cattle death syndrome Have you ever heard of this the slaughter of the buffalo? Yeah, as I'd never heard of this almost so. I think they almost wiped the Buffalo out No that in fact they didn't in fact from between 1872 and 1873 over 3 million Buffalo were killed I'm reading from an article here, the reason was purely economic but the result was to destroy the basis of the way of life for the peoples, the Indians who inhabited the area where the annihilation took place. The southern plains it had zero influence nothing changed they couldn't kill enough in fact this is where Buffalo Bill gets his name William F Cody

2:32:50 Shooting buffalo. Yeah, 4862 Buffalo he shot in eight months He got the nickname Buffalo Bill But even he could hardly have made any noticeable difference in their numbers now that's when they had you know single-shot rifles and And didn't have cool chemicals and weather modification other things so food is often used as a control mechanism, and I'm worried that that's going to happen to us And Austin is all in! Peanut butter chocolate banana made with crickets. Crickets? What do the cricket's do for me? Well, crickets are 65% protein by weight. Crickets contain all nine essential amino acids and each bar takes 140 gallons of water compared to whey protein So how are these prepared they are dehydrated and blended into powder and made into a protein bar How many grams of sugar it's 9 grams of sugar and it is date sweetened due to their high potassium content They slower the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream

Jimmy Carter Solar Bank, Skyscraper Lettuce, Petri Dish Meat

Parallels are drawn between the current energy crisis and Jimmy Carter's 1979 push for a "solar bank" and the Windfall Profits Act. Time Magazine's recent coverage of "skyscraper lettuce" and "petri dish meat" is critiqued as an attempt to normalize industrial, lab-grown food under the guise of stopping climate change.

jimmy carter· solar power· windfall profits act· petri dish meat· time magazine

2:33:45 That's great, I'm diabetic so that helps. We just launched on Monday we're a local small business right here in Austin. I would totally buy this. Stay in Aus- I would totally buy it! I would totally buy this because you know its protein and its crackers and I'm really called it Bogs Bomb Let's go back to 1979 Does this sound familiar? Moreover I will soon submit legislation to Congress calling for the creation of this nation's first solar bank which will help us achieve the crucial goal of 20% of our energy coming from solar power by the year 2000. These efforts will cost money, a lot of money and that is why Congress must enact the Windfall Profits Act without delay." The Windfall Profits Act sounds eerily similar to what's going on right now this was to punish oil companies

2:34:41 Punish them because they were jacking up the prices. You know, they were screwing the American people with their high oil prices had nothing to do with inflation or anything like that and We need to set up a fund It's gonna cost a lot of money to transition so we can get away from these horrible people And I guess that thing sunset I guess it went away eventually cuz yeah the crude oil windfall profit tax of 1980 So isn't that, isn't what they're doing just same old price control that Carter was doing? Well I think everything we've said about this decade in the 70s being the same thing has been proven time and time again so why not. Well and here's the final one and I'll shut up about it because this obviously ties right into climate change, we could have known

2:35:34 Time magazine, time.com published two days ago How to stop our food from hurting the planet? See it's not us anymore John It's our food I'll only read three paragraphs Farmers have grown food in roughly the same way for thousands of years Planting seeds watching them grow Raising animals from birth to slaughter Hoping hoping that nature provides them the right amounts of rain and Sun That sounds right and it sounds romantic, and I like how that sounds. Now entrepreneurs say they have a better idea. Agri... Bugs! No punchlines okay? Agriculture in its current form is bad for the planet they say. Fields for crops and animals grazing occupy land where trees could be planted And farming sucks up vast amounts of increasingly precious water

2:36:36 Why not make food in a completely different way? Growing lettuce in skyscrapers and creating meat from cells in the petri dish. Well, this is good news according to Time Magazine! Petri dish meat... Exactly! And skyscraper lettuce Is that too long for a title? Skyscraper Lettuce. Yeah, I think so. Petri dish meat lettuce pray would be better. So you know for years and years and years on this show you know I'll bring up stuff and you roll your eyes then it's appropriate. I do but i think we may be getting down to some brass tacks finally! I think some of the stuff is finally gonna happen Well here's my climate story It's not the same but it's similar

CHAPTER 34 / 40 Discussion

Sriracha Shortage, Climate Change Claims, Red Jalapeños

Huy Fong Foods' announcement of a Sriracha shortage due to a failed chili pepper harvest in Mexico is discussed. While NPR attributes the shortage to climate change and drought, the hosts note that the company previously switched from serrano peppers to red jalapeños to meet high demand.

sriracha· huy fong foods· drought· mexico· climate change

2:37:30 But it's, and it's dumber. Dumber? Well they're all dumb but here we go with climate... the sriracha pepper! Fans of Sriracha grab a tissue because you may be about to start crying and not from the hot sauce. The beloved condiment is now in short supply Usually I bought one case roughly around 30 to 32 now up to $50 now almost double price It keeps going up and we cannot afford, you know. That's Michael Chow co-owner of the restaurant Faviette here in Washington DC talking about his sriracha orders Probably will have to switch to a different brand But people they're used to the taste right now so when they taste it no right way It's not just restaurants paying higher prices grocery stores in some parts of the country have also been running low on stock

2:38:20 The company that makes sriracha is Hoi Fong Foods, and they alerted customers in late April that they'll have to stop making the sauce for a few months due to quote severe weather conditions affecting the quality of chili peppers. Guillermo Morey Tortorolo studies climate and ecosystems at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Sriracha is actually made from a very special type of pepper that grows only in northern Mexico and southern U.S.. These red jalapeños are only grown during the first four months of the year, and they need very controlled conditions particularly constant irrigation." And irrigation of course requires lots of water but Northern Mexico is in its second year of a drought

2:39:02 The already difficult conditions were pushed over the limit by two consecutive La Nina events. And the dry season has not only been intense, but also remarkably long." As a result, the spring chili harvest was almost non-existent this year. Morey Tortorolo thinks it's very likely that climate change is a factor Of course. By the way, just a comment on that story where the guy says he'd know... We're talking about the rooster brand sriracha, that American stuff they made in Southern California I believe and it used to be made from serrano peppers red serranos and demand was so high for it that they switched to the red jalapenos which is just a ripe jalapeno

2:39:51 And nobody bitched about it. I mean, I noticed it right away when they made the switch over said you know This is not quite as hot as I remember your reconnaissance Well, but the point is that nobody notices so yeah well this is NPR red. This is NPR right? Yeah, yeah. Well what they're doing is the distracting you with stupid stories like this and then you oh my god The sriracha is no good what we're gonna do the sriracha Oh my climate change can destroy and then meanwhile one day You get to knock at the door and it's like it's time for you to eat bugs There's no more food They're not even going to give you bugs people They're gonna slide larva under your door to your larvae grow them grow these Now before we take our break which are about to do

Pediatric COVID Vaccines, CDC Recommendation, Myocarditis Risks

The CDC and FDA's unanimous recommendation to authorize COVID-19 vaccines for children as young as six months is analyzed. Critics point out the lack of long-term data for this age group and the potential for the vaccine to be added to the permanent childhood schedule to provide manufacturers with liability protection.

covid-19 vaccine· cdc· fda· myocarditis· babies

2:40:37 I do want to get the COVID stories out of the way because a big deal happened this week. Yes, yes! A big deal did indeed okay and i have only had two clips that cover it and these are the ones that say COVID vaccination for kids and then L-O-N-I-G I think or something like that Start with that one then this part two of this and this pretty much summarizes everything and it has all the dimwits in there That you want to hear from. It's been a long wait, but parents of very young children will finally get to start vaccinating their kids against COVID-19 The first vaccines for children younger than five today got a thumbs up who who was clapping what was that small group? Oh I sweetened the clip

2:41:23 Good one. Yeah, yeah. So a key advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention voted unanimously to recommend babies toddlers and preschoolers get one of two vaccines these are vaccines that were finally authorized by the Food and Drug Administration Holy crap is this guy in NPR reporter?

2:42:03 Yes, he's the science correspondent for New York. I don't want to make fun of somebody but when you shout like that you shouldn't be on the radio! Just like Jason Calacanis. Great. And that is the final step in what has been a long, frustrating process. Frustrating for parents, the companies regulators in clearing the vaccines Here's how Dr Adam Ratner from New York University reacted He speaking on behalf of The American Academy of Pediatrics I am tremendously excited. This is a day that a lot of us have been waiting for since the very beginning of the pandemic it has taken a long time but we're finally at the point where we can give vaccine protection to the youngest children Do i get to say something here? You just say anything you want

2:42:59 The reason they need this for the kids under five, from six months and older... I know exactly where you're going and you're dead right. Is it puts it on the schedule and they get even more protection. Protection! Oh, that's right. They get even more they also get more money to get more money But it's more protection the liability once it's on the vaccine schedule is where you want to be This is not Cominari by the way this is still the emergency use authorization. They have no emergency youth Emergency youth after all these years It's the emergency youth I tell ya we emergency youth if they keep vaccinating these children will need some emergency youth and

2:43:41 Crap-a, crap-a cola. And then they get... and they have no data! They have no data John! They've no data I know in fact I wish I had the Ron Paul clips. I HAVE THE RON PAUL CLIP Well you want to play part two of this and then play the Ron Paul clips? Yeah well it's some other things we got a play but let's hit this first So Adrian, these are low-dose pediatric versions of the Moderna and Pfizer BioNTech vaccines that can now be given to kids as young as six months old. You said Rob that this was a unanimous decision today so why did all this take so long? Yeah yes good question well the big problem was coming up with the right dose A dose that would stimulate immune system enough but also be safe

2:44:23 finally did it. All the evidence indicates that the vaccines are very safe for these littlest kids and should help protect them from getting seriously ill. Wait, but they don't have any extra... They didn't test on any babies, did they? But you know that's based primarily on how the immune systems of little kids in company studies responded to the shots which looks good but there still really isn't enough data yet to get a clear sense of just how strong the protection from the vaccines will be especially against Omicron and how long that protection will last That said, committee members concluded whatever benefits the vaccines might provide was crucial even though COVID may not pose as much of a threat to most kids as it does through adults. Here's Dr Beth Bell from the University of Washington at the end of today of the two-day meeting

2:45:06 Yes, we don't know everything that there is to be known about this. Yes the data may change but We have a bottom line here which is that this infection kills children and we have an opportunity to prevent that Assuming enough parents are willing to get their littlest kids vaccinated now These people are creepy I'm sorry. Anyone wants to take a vaccine, you're an adult do whatever you want to do. You talking six months old? None of our business but the one that gets me and i don't have it...I don't think i have that clip but time after time he keeps hearing that oh if you just got COVID just ended the disease now is the time to get the vaccine! To double your protection. Have you heard this

2:45:59 No, it sounds like buying the dip. I'm telling you... That's exactly what it is! Buy the vaccine dip. Yeah buy the vaccine dip. You have to be a zip to believe that. Uh-huh. And do you have another one here? Another clip I see yeah this is the original short report which has a woman going on and on about how Relief she is that she can give her little baby the shot. The CDC today signed off on two COVID vaccines for children ages six months through five years, that's the last group without access to the shots. That means parents should be able to get their children vaccinated with Moderna or Pfizer starting next week

2:46:42 Ashton Edwards says she'll feel more comfortable once she can get her youngest child the extra layer of protection from a vaccine. I think it would mean a lot, it would make me feel more comfortable with sending them to daycare Millions of doses have been ordered for distribution to doctors, hospitals and community health clinics around the country. The CDC is continuing to urge parents to get all children including those who've already had COVID-19 vaccinated. All right I have a couple things here first i think what is happening Everyone is so tired of this that the people who are completely against pretty much every measure the governments have taken, I say governments including vaccination. And I include myself in that. I'm done! I don't care what you throw at me. Monkeypox it's fine... It's like I went to the sauna and I am still okay

CHAPTER 36 / 40 Discussion

FDA Dr. Peter Marks, Myocarditis Signal, Cognitive Dissonance

FDA official Dr. Peter Marks is heard acknowledging a "five-fold higher" rate of myocarditis in vaccinated adolescents compared to the baseline. The hosts characterize his dismissal of this 300-500% increase as "summer viral myocarditis" as a prime example of medical cognitive dissonance.

peter marks· fda· myocarditis· vaccine safety· cognitive dissonance

2:47:37 I don't care, i'm not interested. La la la la la la la The same goes for the people who are all in by into the safe and effectiveness They are also no longer listening to any reason any rationale they're also lala so it's cognitive dissonance on both sides Everyone's off in there on this and I think it's it's binary again It's pretty binary either you believe at all or you don't your against it all But the cognitive dissonance, I think this is a perfect example of it. Is this FDA doctor Peter Marks and he will recognize that there is an increase of myocarditis in children

2:48:20 But just listen to, I think this is cognitive dissonance because he believes completely in the magical powers of this vaccine. And I sure hope they've tested it of interaction with any of the other 60 vaccines on the schedule. I'm sure they have had plenty of time to test all that. Listen to his thinking. There are data on uh the incidence of myocarditis in this age range and pull that out, but this is a known phenomena in the 12 to 17-year old age range and the rate that it was seen in the 12 to 17 year olds who were vaccinated seemed to be about five fold higher than the baseline rate

2:49:13 that we would expect. And that's why this is not a slam dunk, it's not like this is unlike the thrombosis... Remember with the J&J vaccine there was the Thrombosis Thrombocytopenia Syndrome? There in the absence of getting vaccinated that was vanishingly small. Zero, basically so there anything you saw you knew was real here it's very challenging when something is only three to five times more common in a vaccinated population, you don't know whether it's just cases that have kind of cases that would have been there. That aren't really associated with the vaccine that has come up or how much actually the vaccine has increased that risk? I'm not denying by the way and just so that there is no one i am trying to deny that there are some signal here but what im trying to say is the magnitude

2:50:08 over what we might be seeing as baseline summertime viral myocarditis is hard to know exactly. So, but just to give you an idea of the order of magnitude it's worse or saying about five fold more than you might expect if this were in a normal summer time In what world of medicine is an adverse event from vaccination three to five times higher than the baseline, then what he calls summer viral myocarditis? In what world is that not earth-shattering?! That's a 300% to 500% increase! Is that...is that not cognitive dissonance??

CHAPTER 37 / 40 Discussion

Rand Paul vs. Anthony Fauci, NIH Royalties, Bayh-Dole Act

Senator Rand Paul's questioning of Dr. Anthony Fauci regarding $193 million in secret royalty payments to 1,800 NIH employees is reviewed. Fauci cites the Bayh-Dole Act as the reason these payments are not disclosed on financial statements. The hosts argue this represents a massive conflict of interest and regulatory capture by the pharmaceutical industry.

rand paul· anthony fauci· nih· royalties· bayh-dole act

2:50:58 I don't think... Well it doesn't matter. Is it insane? There you go, thank you. You're getting closer to it That just baffles me! Baffles me! How can you be like that?! Hey! This data Alright here's the Rand Paul clip. I presume this is about the royalties thats what your talking about Yeah, well no there's a bunch of stuff but that royalty one is good. The royalty one I think is the one we want to play because this is something we've been talking about for since 2012 when we started covering vaccines Yes and we've been talking about this since day 1 And let's give people who aren't sick medication and charge them a lot and have no liability for it whatsoever indemnification for all

2:51:45 One of the deals is that if you participate with the CDC, FDA or anywhere in government which results in a pharmaceutical product that has been subsequently approved by the FDA then now you get written up as a co-inventor and you get royalties from that. What's interesting is that these royalties, it has always been poo-poo and like, you know. And hey! How can you get the best people in the world working on it if they can't make any money? Well, it's called government. That's people who serve the people but no okay so this whole industry has been captured and what Rand Paul was trying to get to with this questioning of Anthony Fauci, a two time COVID survivor

2:52:33 is do these very same people also approve new products? You know, the ones who get the royalties. Another question for you... The NIH continues to refuse to voluntarily divulge the names of scientists who receive royalties and from which companies Over the period of time from 2010 to 2016, 27 thousand royalty payments were paid to 1800 NIH employees. We know that not because you told us but because we forced you to tell us through the Freedom of Information Act over a hundred and ninety three million dollars was given these eighteen employee... 1800 employees

2:53:15 Can you tell me that you have not received a royalty from any entity that you ever oversaw the distribution of money in research grants? Well, first of all let's talk about royalties. That is the question! No, that is the question. Have you ever overseen or received a royalty payment from a company that you later oversaw money going to that company? You know, I don't know is the fact but i doubt it. Well here's the thing is why don't you let us know? Why don't you reveal how much you've gotten and from what entities The NIH refuses Look we ask them We ask them The NIH...we asked them whether or not who got it and how much They refused to tell us they sent it redacted Here's what I want to know It's not just about you Everybody on the vaccine committee Have any of them ever received money from people that make vaccines Can you tell me that

2:54:09 Can you tell me if anybody on the vaccine approval committees ever received any money from people who make a question? Sounds like, number one are you going to let me answer a question Okay, so let me give you some information. First of all according to the regulations people who receive royalties are not required to divulge them even on their financial statement according to the Bayh-Dole Act So let me give you some example from 2015 to 2020 I...the only royalties i have

2:54:46 was my lab and I made a monoclonal antibody for use in vitro reagent that had nothing to do with patients. And during that period of time, my royalties ranged from $21 a year to $1700 a year and the average per year was $191.46 It's all redacted and you can't get any information on the 1800 scientists Senator Paul, your time is long over expired I gave you an additional two-and-a-half minutes The witness has responded we are going to move on

2:55:28 So what I find interesting is not only that, you know there's this regulation. What are... Deb, you familiar with that act? Was it the Bayh-Dole Act? No but that act should be repealed! Yeah it sounded like the Bayh-Dole Act It was a conflict of interest! Hello conflict of interest! He looks like Mary...Mary Cheney what's her name Liz? Mary Cheney on the uh... on that stupid committee, it's a conflict of interest. She hates Trump she hates the Republican Party as it now exists she shouldn't be on there but beyond that...she is not a republican! Beyond that the arrogance of Fauci to say well it wasn't a lot of money what the hell oh yeah I stole some money but it wasn't a lot come on it's misdemeanor I didn't steal a lot It's the same thing these people are really dangerous

2:56:19 Well, they've got their hand in the till. That's the problem It's called capture it's called and you know you even Bill Maher couldn't get to it there was a great show I really enjoyed that last night he had a couple of in a row He's had a few good ones yeah Yeah, the guy on Danny Stone it was his name killing two He's been an big writer of movies and a very successful one I should say. And he also, I think produced and directed the Dope Sick with Michael Keaton.

That's how those typically we usually use you doing that But that's the end it's good. It's who is that this at Sophia with it with a pH no No, this is right off of NPR. Oh No NPR go in PR okay We should probably wrap this up I'm trying to think if there's anything we didn't talk about The war go figure. Yeah, we moved the war to Thursday the war the work and wait for us

3:17:01 Which confirms what they say in one of my clips, which is people are losing interest in this war and it's causing a problem. Well we're about to get really interested in it as the they're now negotiating behind closed doors the National Defense Authorization Act that's one of our favorites to look at and its already... It was already eye-popping 850 billion dollars in the back door and the back room negotiations uh..in the Senate They have already added 45 billion to that. So we're looking at almost a trillion dollars to the military-industrial complex Right does this sound right? It goes not to protect us as goes through people's pockets Yes, yes Does any of this disturb anybody I know the answer don't answer it

Dvorak We return on Thursday with another episode of The Best Podcast in the Universe, the No Agenda Show Coming up next we've got live Battle Of The Douchebags Part 5 with Sir Seat Sitter Lavish Sir Ben Rosenfletcher End-of-Show Mixes Professor JJ Tom Starkweather And until Thursday... dvorak dot org slash n a I'm Adam Curry and you I'm still John C. Dvorak, adios mofos! Dr Fauci the government recommends everybody take a booster over age 5 are you aware of any studies that show reduction in hospitalization or death for children who take a booster? That the optimal degree of protection when you get infection is to get vaccinated after infection What is the chance that my child's going to the hospital or dying

3:19:53 From 2010 to 2016, 27000 royalty payments were paid to 1800 NIH employees. There are no studies on children showing a reduction in hospitalization or death with taking a booster. that the optimal degree of protection when you get infections is to get vaccinated after infection. What is the chance that my child's going to the hospital or dying? Over $193 million was given these 18 employees, 1800 employees. When critics finally complained it was finally included because there was no health benefit from taking a booster between 18 and 49 in this CDC study

3:20:53 Here's what I want to know. It's not just about you, everybody on the vaccine committee have any of them ever received money from the people who make vaccines? Over $193 million was given to these 18 employees 1800 employees that the optimal degree of protection when you get infection is to get vaccinated after infection there are no studies on children showing a reduction in hospitalization or death with techno booster And just look at the work that he does, and look what he's how he's delivering for the American public. I don't want to hear any more of these lies about reckless spending. You know Putin's price hike inflation coming out of a once in a generation global pandemic? It is insulting to the average citizen to listen to some of this dribble coming out of the White House. If you can't trust the country's government why should you trust

3:21:54 It's money. President Biden today announced another billion dollars in military aid for Ukraine. When we can rely upon our own clean domestic production of energy... But that is the problem for these companies, these companies are saying you know you're asking me to do more now invest more now When in fact, five or ten years from now we don't think that demand will be there and the administration doesn't even necessarily want to be there. Zero! Zero! Zero! The historic economic boom that we're seeing with jobs... And this whole release of historic inflation? No, that is not how we're seeing the American Rescue Plan. We change people's lives

3:22:33 The aid reportedly will include anti-ship missile launchers, howitzers and more rounds for the high mobility artillery rocket systems the US is already providing. Ask no questions, Kathleen come the waiting in line Two years in and his way past time But Joe he's still around She's wearing that crown Joe's gotta go he takes too many questions yeah
