About this episode

Dutch farmers are escalating their revolt against the liberal world order as manure-spraying tractors block major highways in the Netherlands to protest nitrogen emission mandates. Prime Minister Mark Rutte faces a nationwide agricultural shutdown that analysts warn could trigger severe food shortages and hyperinflation across Europe. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court has stripped the EPA of its power to regulate carbon emissions, prompting a dissent from Justice Elena Kagan and a globalist panic over the reassertion of state sovereignty.

In the Middle East, a record-breaking heatwave has pushed the Iran heat index to a staggering 165 degrees Fahrenheit while the Baghdad Zoo struggles to keep animals alive. Back in the United States, Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell attributes persistent inflation to supply-side failures despite Zero Hedge reports showing the reverse repo market injecting $2.3 trillion into the economy. Dr. Anthony Fauci is experiencing a Paxlovid rebound as the Australian government begins compensating citizens for vaccine-related heart injuries like pericarditis. Professor Jeffrey Sachs of the Lancet COVID Commission has also publicly stated that the virus likely emerged from a U.S. biotechnology blunder rather than a natural spillover.

This episode marks a transition into the 15th anniversary of the show as Sir EA and Sir Nico receive their formal knighthoods. Between readings from Laura Ingalls Wilder and analysis of the Unabomber manifesto, the producers explore the absurdity of Melbourne sleeping pods and the rise of Baphomet symbolism at the G7 Art Expo. Elsa Kurt provides a viral impression of Kamala Harris to round out the holiday weekend coverage.

CHAPTER 01 / 41 Discussion

San Francisco Fog, Climate Change, Mudflats Observation

The discussion opens with observations of early fog in San Francisco, which is contrasted against typical July 4th weather patterns. Reference is made to Greenland ice melt and potential sea-level rise affecting the San Francisco Bay. Observations of local mudflats since 1870 are cited as evidence that significant coastal changes have not yet manifested despite global warming narratives.

00:00 We got the dead body right here. Adam Curry, John C. DeVore. It's Sunday, July 2nd, 2022. This is your award-winning Gimel Nation Media Assassination Episode 1465. This is no agenda. Preparing for bug protein and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning, everybody. I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where it fogged in three days earlier than usual. Global warming I'm John C. DeVore. Yeah, man, the global warming is going crazy Normally it fogs in on July the 4th. Oh, there it is Are you pissed off again about the fireworks situation? But now it's fogged in early. It's already fogged any of the fireworks, you know

00:53 Yeah, but this is the… every single year is the same in San Francisco. Every year. And you complain every single year and nothing ever changes. So is there climate change or not? Yeah. Well, looking at the mudflats, I'd say no. You have not looked at the mudflats in quite a while. Do we even have the jungle? I look at them every day, but I don't produce a segment. What was that? What was that jingle we had? You've been apparently very busy. Oh, here it is, here it is. Because of what's happening in Greenland right now, the maps of the world will have to be redrawn. This is what would happen to San Francisco Bay. Look out! There you go, he's looking out the window! He's looking at the mudflats. What do you see? Uh, mud. No change since 1870. No change.

CHAPTER 02 / 41 Discussion

Fredericksburg Air Conditioning, Capacitor Failure, Sodium Explosions

A personal anecdote describes an air conditioner failure during a heatwave in Fredericksburg, Texas, and the rapid response of local repair services. The technical failure is identified as a blown capacitor, leading to a discussion about the loud decibel rating of electrical components failing. The conversation shifts to childhood stories of cherry bombs and the chemical reaction of flushing sodium down toilets to cause plumbing explosions.

fredericksburg· texas hill country· air conditioning· capacitor· sodium

01:51 Well, climate change related, okay. Last night, one of our team... Wait, wait. You were going to tell me what was going on that kept you so busy this morning. That's what I'm saying. Climate change related. Oh, it has to do with climate change? Yes. Of course it has to do with climate change. We're having exceptionally warm weather here in the Hill Country. We did not get a lot of the rain that the rain sticks produced, which is unfortunate, but that's kind of how Fredericksburg was chosen by the American Indians and the Germans. And our air conditioner went out. One of our two compressors went out last night. This was interesting, because the studio is, it really only has one wall that connects to the house, and so it's its own little hot box. Oh man, I was tripping out this morning, sweating. But here in Hill Country, you can call, and someone comes out within an hour. They come out with what? They came out. They came out and fixed it within an hour.

02:49 No. Yes! In this day and age? And I said, I said, oh my goodness, I said, you're here already? I said, I figured, you know, I think Tina even left a voicemail, hey can we just get on your list because I know a lot of air conditioners are breaking down. The guy says, no, I was just waiting for your call. It was beautiful. That's that German background, that area. Yeah, maybe it is. Efficiency. Yeah, efficient. Very efficient. You make everything work. You try doing that up in Port Angeles, Washington, months go by. I know. That's why I was so happy and totally surprised. Like, oh, this is nice. Yeah. So that kept us kind of... And all it was was the capacitor, which shouldn't have blown. A cap busted. Yeah, it didn't blow, unfortunately. If it blew, you would have heard it. And now, of course... I had a cap blow once in his computer.

03:42 Oh, that can be in a computer. That can be a good one. Oh, well, if it's in the room, it has the exact same, I'd say, decibel rating as a cherry bomb. That's how loud it is. Do the kids even know what cherry bombs are anymore? I think they still sell them. I think they call them, don't they just call them M80s these days? They don't call them cherry bombs anymore. Although a cherry bomb is technically not an M80. Well, a cherry bomb is round and red. Yeah, right. They look like a cherry. Right, I don't think they sell those anymore. No, the M80s. Well, it sounds like almost an M80 going off in the house. Yeah, exactly. Very, very loud. My dad would tell me that back when he was in high school, they would flush cherry bombs down the toilet. Oh yeah, kids always talk about that, but I've never, I don't think they actually do it. I think he got expelled for it. It sounds like something he would have done. Well, if you do it and get expelled, then I'd say, yeah, probably did it.

04:40 Uh, so the more advanced kids actually instead of having to light something and throw it down, which stinks up the place. Yeah. You take it about a one inch cube of sodium and flush that baby down the toilet. There you go. What happens then? Well, sodium, when it hits water starts to produce copious amounts of hydrogen in heat. Sweet. And then? Then it blows. Nice. No smoking in the boys' room. That'll teach you. So the Dutch farmers cranked it up a notch. This is fantastic. They are literally spraying shit under government buildings now.

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Dutch Farmers, Manure Protests, Nitrogen Emission Rules

Farmers in the Netherlands are engaging in massive protests against government mandates intended to limit carbon and nitrogen emissions. Protesters have used farm equipment to spray manure on government buildings and block major highways. Analysts suggest these "net zero" policies threaten the viability of small-scale agriculture and could lead to food shortages and high inflation, with similar movements expected in Belgium and Germany.

netherlands· dutch farmers· nitrogen emissions· net zero· manure protests

05:21 And the only mainstream report I can really find outside of the Netherlands is from Sky News. So, massive protests going on here in the Netherlands right now where Dutch farmers are protesting against rules that would limit carbon and nitrogen emissions out of their farms. Massive, massive protests. They're blocking highways, they're blocking traffic. I've seen them even spraying manure on government offices here in some of the clips which I don't think we'll show you this morning. But there's a real big point to this. Net zero is really going to hurt and do not let anybody Tell you otherwise we have this whole big idea that here in Australia We can just you know slide on over to net zero and everything will be fine It doesn't work that way because once you start really doing it you're talking about cutting down Agriculture you're talking about how are you gonna feed people already just last month? I just checked nine point nine percent inflation the last month in that country

06:20 and largely as a result of these green policies, net zero, and of course, you know, all the troubles that they're having in Europe at the moment. But we in Australia must not allow ourselves to imagine that this sort of thing cannot happen here, will not be imposed upon us here as we go for net zero, or that this will somehow be painless. There is a lot of pain and frankly, a really fear that we are only just beginning to see the tip of it. And I think it's a real memo for Australian policymakers to change course now before we hit the iceberg. Well, Rita, what is so completely mad about this is that the EU have arbitrarily decided, oh, you can't have more than 30 percent of nitrogen or something ammonia in the soil. And it's all these small and it's always the small business people, the mum and dad farmers. It's all these small clots, these farmers, traditional. Holland has relied on this forever. They want to wipe them out.

07:15 So they've said, oh, all of you, you've got too much nitrogen in your soil. So we're coming, the government comes, shuts down your farm. So I mean, this is just insane. But as James says, Rita, this is the future for Australia. We talk about electric vehicles and those idiots in Wentworth and Warringah and all the rest going on about their electric cars. The reality is they're going to come after your farming land. That's what they're going to do. Yeah, so the Dutch are very mad. Now the Belgian farmers and the German farmers will be joining the Dutch farmers next week. They're locking down all the highways and although not an official word, they're going to stop delivering to supermarkets.

07:58 People have no idea what's going to hit them. It's going to be really bad. By the way, don't you remember it was about, oh, eight, nine years ago, we talked about on the show, the French developed the idea of spewing crap on the side of buildings. Yes. Remember the French had some, they were pissed off about something, the French farmers. Yeah, they came and they dumped manure. They, well, no, but they also had some sort of a combine, you know, some sort of a wheat gathering thing and they... Spray it. And you spray it. And it sprays out about 30 feet and they were coating some parliament buildings with it. Yeah, that's pretty much what the Dutch farmers are doing. So they get what... I think it's a great idea. What we would call here the shit kicker, which is a piece of farm equipment. And they just turn it around and point it right at the government building. And I will say one of our, producer Richard pointed out

08:50 I was talking about how those pissed off farmers were hitting police vans with a sledgehammer in each hand. Yeah, I should have known better, but those are the, they're called the Romeos. These are undercover cops and their whole, you know, they're agitators like what we saw at, you know, the phony baloney undercover agents at 1-6 Jan 6. Oh yeah, the insurrection. And I went back and I looked at the video and yeah, the guys have earpieces in and they're pretending to be protesters. So they're just there to make everybody look bad. I think the farmers do a good enough job though with the shit-kickers. I like that. Yeah, I like the idea. A climate activist in London glued his hands to a Van Gogh frame. Two of them, two people. Two people? One person on each side of the frame. I mean...

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Betsy Rosenberg, EPA Supreme Court Ruling, Climate Activism

Betsy Rosenberg of Green TV discusses the Supreme Court's decision to limit the EPA's power to regulate carbon emissions. The conversation highlights Rosenberg's claims regarding extreme weather events, such as heatwaves in Rome and droughts in the Lazio region. Critics point out her lack of scientific credentials and her use of dramatic metaphors, such as comparing storms to Hiroshima bombs, to describe the climate crisis.

betsy rosenberg· epa· supreme court· climate change· eco-literacy

09:42 Well, do they really think this will work? I mean, that this results in anything except not being able to view Van Gogh from close up? I have no idea what the idea is. That's the only thing that it'll result in. But some of these, they're coming out of everywhere, John, the nut jobs. I cut this down. This is Betsy Rosenberg. I guess she started Green TV, greentv.com and she was asked to come on some talk show and because you know the the Supreme Court said hey EPA you don't have the right to rule over emission targets for every single state.

10:20 So now we've got to come out and go nuts. And I just, and I cut out, so she was arguing with another guy and the other guy is clearly, you know, he's like climate change bullcrap and then, you know, so all of that back and forth I cut out. I just left in All of the little memes and slogans and words she's trying to come up with a new catchphrase that will... You can just hear that she's a propagandist and of course not a climate scientist. The court said the EPA overreached and did so at the direction of the executive branch, a check and balance.

10:56 Why not just go to Congress now? Because Congress has shown that it's completely incapable of acting on climate change. And climate change is getting worse by the day. The heat waves, the droughts, everything that you see around you is a result of climate change in terms of extreme weather events. Everything you see around you, everything, John, everything is, everything is everything. So Congress doesn't want to break. Yeah, at this is really just they're kicking the carbon can down the road. It's basically just saying we'll make sure that we don't do anything, probably until it's too late. And it is late in the game. I cannot believe in mid 2022 when ninety nine point nine percent of all climate scientists, which I don't think you are, Alex.

11:35 I saw that you studied computer science in college. Doesn't make you an expert on climate change. I'm not a scientist either, but I believe science and we have a... You could hear her brain go, oh shit, I'm not a scientist. I should probably mention that. I said, oops. Or Alex. You could hear it. You could hear the gears crunching. I saw that you studied computer science in college. Doesn't make you an expert on climate change. I'm not a scientist either, but I believe science and we have a problem in this country with eco illiteracy and science illiteracy. Eco illiteracy. And this kind of... just really distorting of the situation does not help. And we have no time to waste. I mean, do you not understand what's happening? I was just in Rome last week. The river is so low you can... I love it where she says, I was just in Rome last week, probably for a conference, you know, talk about net zero. You can almost see the sand. They declared a state of emergency. They call it state of calamity there because the Lazio region, which Rome is in, is so dry and a heat wave

12:31 just went across Europe twice. We just went through two heat waves here while I was away. I mean records are breaking and temperatures are melting. It's just beyond belief. We have 420 parts per million of green energy. I'm so upset I can't talk straight. Temperatures are melting. And a heat wave just Just went across Europe twice. We just went through two heat waves here while I was away I mean records are breaking and and temperatures are melting It's just beyond belief. We have 420 parts per million of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere right now. I love the 420 meme Thanks lady. It's gone up exponentially quickly compared to you know what happened before the last 20 to 50 years

13:14 I mean, what about that is normal? And by the way, every time you see it, I need some time to respond. Alex, Alex, I'll give you time to respond. Let's let Betsy finish what she was saying. I just want to say thank you. There's a signature when you when you see somebody in Oklahoma or Texas who's been hit by a tornado, a hurricane, a fire, extreme wildfires or a huge problem when they say we've never seen anything like this. We've never we can't prepare for this. We can't. This is interesting because she talks about a signature. And for her to say, you know, what she means is, hey, there's something you should pay attention to. People keep saying we've never seen this before. This has never happened before. This is something, you know. But for her to call that a signature, I don't know. That sounds like something Norman Lear would put in a document. You know what I mean? Make sure you put this signature in all your reports.

14:08 I need some time to respond. Yeah, yeah. There's something very fishy about her trying to slip that in. Yeah. As though it's a meme that hasn't been fully formed and she picked up on part of it and threw it in there just because she's, if you listen to her, she's just throwing everything at it. Yeah. You know, she's throwing. She's gone nuts. We can't prepare for this. We can't build back. Whole towns and parts of cities have been leveled like Hiroshima bombs from the storms on steroids that we've never seen before. What about that is a joke. Where are the whole cities that have been leveled like Hiroshima bombs? Paradise.

Ted Kaczynski, Unabomber Manifesto, Industrial Society Analysis

A review of "Industrial Society and Its Future," the manifesto written by Ted Kaczynski, focuses on his warnings about technological psychology and the over-socialization of the population through the school system. The text is analyzed in the context of modern climate change doctrine and the shaping of public opinion. The hosts suggest the document remains relevant for its critique of how modern society handles information and dissent.

ted kaczynski· unabomber· industrial society· over-socialization· technological psychology

15:04 But that wasn't from extreme weather she was talking about. Yeah, it was a fire. Extreme weather caused the fire. Not the fact that the land management and the fire management budgets of California were cut probably 50% is the word I heard in California to go elsewhere. You know, gender studies. Don't blame that. Now, it was funny you say that. I was re-reading Industrial Society and its Future last night. For those who don't know, this is commonly known as the Unabomber Manifesto. Oh, right. That's what it was. Professor Ted. And so I'm reading through just the introduction and right away he says,

15:56 schooling will be turned into technological psychology, you know, every exercise will be meant to shape an opinion, people will be who come out will be taught not to make waves, to be kind to everybody. In fact, what he says in so many words is they'll be over socialized, under informed, and they will be given doctrine that they will be taught in schools. And he wrote this, what, early 80s? This, what we're witnessing here is what he warned for, the reason he blew people up because he wanted this published. Of course it did get published and no one cared. I don't know if anyone actually read it. No, no one cared. They're like, all right, stop killing people. It's well worth a read. It's just saying. This leads to the climate change. No, you got a climate change? Yeah, sure. Well, I think so.

Iraq Heatwave, Iran Heat Index, Baghdad Zoo

Reports from Iraq and Iran detail record-breaking summer temperatures, with the Baghdad Zoo struggling to keep animals cool during a severe heatwave. In Iran, the heat index reportedly reached 165 degrees Fahrenheit due to high humidity. The discussion questions the validity of the "heat index" metric, comparing its use in media to the earthquake scale to amplify the perceived severity of weather events.

iraq· iran· baghdad zoo· heat index· global warming

16:53 I'm sorry, I was engrossed with that clip. I can understand. What do we got? We got... Oh, interesting. I guess there's a bird flu outbreak we got to deal with. We're going to talk about global warming in Iraq. What? In Iraq, no less. In other news, Iraq is experiencing record temperatures during a summer heat wave that's caused both droughts and sandstorms. It's yet another side effect of global warming. One place that's had to get creative in dealing with these soaring temperatures, the zoo in Baghdad. Oh, man.

17:32 There was a report I had in the previous, I think it was the previous episode, the one before that. I have my, it was the same thing. It was almost exact same report. Look for the word Iran because They were talking about global warming in Iran. I was going to do some research. Here it is. Temperatures in Iran soared to 126 degrees Fahrenheit Monday. Last week the heat index soared to 165 degrees Fahrenheit in parts of Iran due to high heat and high humidity. Wow! 165 that seems rather high. No, but that was temperature that wasn't the temperature if you'd listen carefully, that's bullcrap Oh, let me listen carefully then temperatures in Iran soared to a hundred twenty six degrees Fahrenheit Monday last week the heat index soared to a hundred sixty five degrees Fahrenheit in parts of Iran due to high heat and high humidity X Yeah, what is this heat index? The heat index is like the new

18:30 Earthquake scale. Oh, so then they... so it's really... Temperature 105 degrees feels like 126. That kind of thing. Oh man. We should figure that out. Maybe that's a wet bulb moment. Heat index and the wet bulb when those two meet, you're screwed. So this of course leads to this Dutch thing, which is, and I think the Dutch are the canary in the coal mine here, that because of nitrogen they are

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

PBS Learning Media, Insect Protein, Meat Production Narratives

PBS Learning Media is promoting the environmental benefits of eating insects as a sustainable alternative to traditional livestock. The curriculum argues that insect physiology is more efficient at converting feed into protein than mammals like cattle. Critics argue these narratives rely on false equivalencies between beef and corn production and are funded by organizations like the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to shift global dietary habits.

pbs· insect protein· entomophagy· beef production· bill and melinda gates foundation

19:06 telling farmers you have to close down and you know, it's it's it's a mystery This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard the fact that he even got that this far is amazing to me. Well, the Dutch are very Docile, they must be they well, you know except for the farmers the farmers saying no I want to pass this on to my kids my kids love it and It's a family business, you know, we love our animals and we don't agree with what you're doing. Now remember the Netherlands has the formula, formerly known as the Royal Dutch DSM chemical factory, has switched to becoming the world's leader in taste and texture products for soy and insect-based protein.

19:53 There's 8 billion euros a year, so they know what they're doing and they're doing all kinds of indoor agriculture, you know, growing stuff and vertically instead of, you know, they're growing it in warehouses, they're using all kinds of chemicals and crap. And the food tastes so delicious coming from those places. No, it's crap, of course, but just to get us ready for this here in the United States, PBS, which is now PBS, they receive more funding from the public than NPR, I think. PBS is, are they not more tied to the government?

20:31 I mean, by the way, yes, yes, the Corporation for Public Broadcasting money, which is contributed as a giant consortium of money that comes in for every which way. And the government contributes to it, too. Yeah. And of course, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Arthur Daniels Midland and all the all of all the agriculture companies, all the biggies Monsanto, Monsanto. So they have a division called PBS Learning Media, Learning Media. This is where you can learn through media. And they have, right there on their homepage today, they have a lesson, because this is learning media, environmental benefits of eating insects. I'm sure you're kind of interested. What? Yeah, environmental benefits of eating insects. Let's have a listen.

21:28 Forecasts predict that by 2050, the human population will have swelled to over 9 billion. If current eating habits continue, that would mean a doubling of meat production. Explain to me how, if we're 8 billion now and we go to 9 billion, why do we have to double meat production? I don't quite understand. That's a good one. You know, that was so obvious it just went right by everybody. What is it with one extra billion that we have to double the meat production? Yeah, well, the question needs to be asked. It's crazy. Well, it is, of course, based on current trends. So, you know, current trends.

22:14 Current trends are away from eating meat. How we produce meat is awful for the environment. So to produce more meat than we already do is incredibly problematic. A pound of beef compared to a pound of corn takes seven times more water and a hundred times more land.

22:57 I love comparing beef to corn. I mean, what is that even about? Beef to corn? Hey, you should stop eating beef, eat corn? Compared to a pound of corn, take seven times more water. You know, you can stop right there because this something has to be said. You know, this false narrative, the false comparisons, there's another word for it where you take one thing and you compare it to something else. It has nothing to do with that. I mean, beef lives, you know, grazing land usually can't be used for anything else. A lot of beef is grown on this You see it all over every country. You've got it all over Texas. We have it all over California. Just huge area swaths of what amounts to weeds eventually because they turn brown and then they catch on fire. But we have acres and acres of this that can easily be used for grazing and it does take hundreds of acres of it, but it's used for nothing else. You can't grow corn on it. You can't do jack shit with it.

23:53 Beef can eat off of this land and they can grow from it. And yes, it does take a lot of water to, because it rains everywhere when it rains. And so if you're going to count the water coming from the sky landing in this otherwise useless land, sure. But this is bull crap. And it's just amazing to me that they keep promoting it. The term you're looking for is false equivalency. False equivalency. This is one of the worst examples and you're hearing it right here on your friends from PBS. Already do is incredibly problematic. To produce a pound of beef compared to a pound of corn takes seven times more water and a hundred times more land. This contributes to droughts and high levels of deforestation. Many scientists and policy makers are now suggesting that if we hope to... Hold on.

24:48 How does that cause droughts? This contributes to droughts and high levels of deforestation. I don't think it, I mean, does it actually contribute to a drought? A drought is a weather-related event. If you're going to take the logic of these people and you count the cow farts, seriously, I think this is where it's coming from. The methane from cow farts contributes to global warming technically.

25:28 So yes. Okay. Many scientists and policy makers are now suggesting that if we hope to feed everyone, we need a fundamental change. It's not to say that conventional animal agriculture can't fit in with the sustainable food system, but the mass production and the way that we're doing it now is simply unsustainable. I agree with that. The answer may lie in exploiting a special ability found in many invertebrates. Ah. Special ability. It turns out that insects have the potential to make protein far more efficiently than other animals. The reason lies in their physiology. This physiological difference has a major effect on the quantity of resources they need to grow. Since insects aren't wasting energy trying to keep their bodies warm, most of the calories they eat can be converted into nutrients that we can then eat. So you get a much higher conversion efficiency with an insect than you would with a mammal.

26:31 When it comes to generating animal protein efficiently, insects rule. To produce a pound of beef requires nearly 10 pounds of feed. But growing a pound of insects needs less than 2 pounds. One pound of beef also requires over 2,000 gallons of water. There it is. But the same weight of insect can take less than 12 gallons. If you're farming an insect, you don't need to feed them nearly as much as you would a mammal of the same size. Insects offer so much promise. They're a really accessible form of protein that, you know, potentially could feed the world. Oh, thank you PBS. I feel good about that now. You know, by their logic, you know, there's a middle between beef and bugs. And that's obvious. Eat the humans.

27:34 You know, we take less resources, but yet we're tastier than bugs. Oh, we got to be tastier than bugs. What isn't? Well, you know, I would like to see the cafeteria at PBS serve bug dishes and see how far they get. The the commercial that advertised the Swedish food company, they did the bizarre burger. at Halloween, at Halloween and it was like, oh this tastes just like human flesh. Those ghouls gave the ad an award. The ghouls man, these people are ghouls, seriously. Wow, I didn't even know about this. Oh yeah, yeah. That ad didn't play out here. Yeah, the ad hasn't played anywhere probably, but it got an award.

Curacao Storm, First Climate Lockdown, Prime Minister Pisas

A report from Curacao describes what is being termed the world's first "climate lockdown" during the approach of Storm Bonnie. The Prime Minister implemented a 4:00 PM curfew and closed schools and shops despite the storm eventually missing the island. Residents expressed concern that the government used the weather event to test public obedience under the guise of climate safety.

curacao· climate lockdown· storm bonnie· curfew· prime minister

28:25 And we did have our first... We did have our first... We did have our first climate lockdown. Where? Curacao. You remember the Dutch family that are nomads and they've been traveling around for two and a half years? go through Africa. He's donated a couple weeks ago, maybe two months ago, sent a picture of the masks on the goats. Does that ring a bell? So he says, Adam and John, after two and a half years of traveling, we finally settled down in the old Dutch colonial island, Curaçao. The island is an independent nation, of course, until they need money and request it from the Netherlands.

29:14 Well, a funny thing happened last week and I think we are the first in the world to have it. I think we had the first climate lockdown ever. Last week, Wednesday, there was a storm coming towards the island named Bonny. This area of the Caribbean typically does not have a lot of hurricanes. Our prime minister gave a press conference where he told us how serious the matter was and also set a curfew at four in the afternoon. Schools were closed for two days. No shops were allowed to open. You were not allowed to go out at all after 4 p.m. And the storm of course completely missed them. Nothing happened. In the press conference after the storm, the breeze, the Prime Minister didn't acknowledge he was overacting but instead only mentioned that there were too many people on the street after the curfew. We should obey the government better because climate change is real, people. Next time it may be real, you see? That's what he's saying.

Protesters at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal, demanded action against marine pollution and rising sea temperatures. Domestically, Justice Elena Kagan's dissent in the West Virginia v. EPA case is analyzed, specifically her criticism of the court for appointing itself as a decision-maker on climate policy. Media reports highlighted Justice Amy Coney Barrett's family ties to the American Petroleum Institute as a point of contention.

30:07 Interesting. I got to I guess a couple of our climate. Yeah, good. Change stinks. I got the ocean climate change protest. You heard about this? Oh, they're bitching about the ocean now. In Lisbon, Portugal, hundreds of protesters march Thursday outside the UN Ocean Conference demanding meaningful action to halt pollution, protect marine life and slow the warming of the Earth's seas. The conference brought together some 7,000 scientists, activists and heads of state. Greenpeace Oceans Policy Advisor Laura Meller spoke at a protest outside the talks. While activists are trying to peacefully protest outside the conference venue, the re-looters, the ocean destroyers are out there depleting the oceans as we speak. The ocean destroyers? Who's that?

31:03 They're, you know, they're them. Them. Them. Well, here's an interesting one because this is an example of Amy doing a little character assassination while she's in the, while she's trying to read a news story. And I want to see if you can figure out who she's, out of the blue, she gives this report which is pretty straight up. She decides to, eh, let's give it, give the needle to somebody that she doesn't like because I don't know why she doesn't like him. I will mention something, I'm going to point this out when this happens in these various clips. Most of the people on the left and Amy would be right up there with them are atheists. Wouldn't you think so? Would you do kind of agree with that? Yeah, that sounds fair. Sure.

31:51 If somebody's an atheist, why are they so concerned about Indian sacred rituals and sacred rites and sacred objects and sacred land? I agree. At least Bill Maher is consistent. He'll just say it's all crap. Yeah, but she's also sensitive, as you're supposed to be in the media, sensitive. Sacred land. Everyone's an atheist for being religious but they're Indians. Okay, that's just beside the point. I don't know where that clip went. But here's the Supreme Court. Now you tell me if you can figure out who she's who she just out of the blue just gives the needle to. The Supreme Court's voted to sharply limit the Environmental Protection Agency's power to regulate carbon emissions from power plants. The court's six to three ruling in the case of West Virginia versus EPA is seen as a major victory for the fossil fuel industry and a result of a decades long attempt to limit the regulation of corporations. Can I just make a guess now, now that we still have 28 seconds to go? Can I just say that this would have been a good ask Adam?

32:52 Yeah. Here we go. Orange man bad. I'm just going to say she's going to blame Trump. That's just my off the cuff guess. No, wrong. OK, you sure? All right. It's not him. Liberal Justice Elena Kagan slammed the decision writing for the dissent, quote, The court appoints itself instead of Congress or the expert agency, the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening, unquote. Joining the majority opinion was Trump appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett, whose father helped lead the American Petroleum Institute for two decades. Well, they had Trump in there. I knew it was Trump. You're right. I didn't remember that. But yeah, you I give you half a point. Thank you. It was Trump adjacent. I feel like I Trump. Did you notice that she says pot climate? Yeah. What was up with that?

33:46 Every time I heard the first time doing it, what the hell is she talking about? Hot climate. Did she mean hot climate or what? I don't know. She said pot climate. Oh, I just want to hear that. That was very odd indeed here somewhere. Climate policy for agency, the decision maker on pot climate policy. And she's, oh, it's just a flub because she's supposed to say climate policy and somehow it comes out as pot. The decision maker on pot climate policy. Cool. I like that. That's a good one. Pot climate. You know what? I'm all in the audience. I would like to be a part of pot climate policy. I think it's very important. You're on the list there. We need to be able to grow stuff, you know, come on. So I do have the I do have more.

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Environmental Justice, Mustafa Ali, Clean Air Act

Mustafa Ali, former head of the Environmental Justice Program at the EPA, discusses the implications of the Supreme Court's ruling on the Clean Power Plan. Ali argues that the decision destabilizes efforts to protect communities of color from air pollution and hinders the U.S. goal of cutting carbon emissions by 50% by 2030. The discussion questions the expansion of the EPA's mission into "climate justice" and global policing of pollution.

34:31 Now that you brought climate thing is curious, I end up with a lot of clips I didn't notice. Yeah, how about that? Okay, so we have Jamal Bowman, who's in the climate, he comes on to talk about the climate problems and he was, this is interesting, because they transition to another guy. But listen to this, this Jamal Bowman one, listen to this and then something weird happens. That's Congress member Jamal Bowman. We're joined now by Mustafa Ali. He's the former head of the Environmental Justice Program at the EPA, the Environmental Protection Agency. Why does the EPA have anything to do with climate justice?

35:17 I thought they were regulating pollution and all the rest of it, the Environmental Protection Agency. This is reminding me of the clip we had in the last show where the Fed is now supposed to deal with diversity justice. I read that whole bill again. It's insane. I mean, it's not even hard to read. Well, luckily for the nation, it's not going to get passed. Yeah, that's what you say. Why? Well, it can't get through the Senate. It can. It depends on who's compromised. Well, they need 10 Republicans to join in. That's not gonna happen. Oh, is it one of those 60-vote things? Yeah. That's too bad. Then I ended up with this... I had this sub clip called 1-5, which is the lies clip.

36:12 Play this. That's a lie. We're not historically the largest polluter in the world? No, historically, yeah, if you go back to the 1800s, during the Industrial Revolution, I think you can probably make the case that we were polluting more than anybody else. Yeah, okay, that's fair, but now it's got to be China. China and India. India even more so than China, probably.

36:58 Could be it's just it's touch and go with those two but an India doesn't care China and India are far worse polluters. China doesn't care either. They put it in all the agreements and we don't care we're putting it in writing for you we're not gonna change until you know 20, 20, 30s when the no 2030s when they start to think about it. Oh okay that's what I mean 2050 they won't do any the Netherlands You know, they're all of a sudden, they're like, oh, you know, we got some problems here. We got some problems with our energy. So they're... The other thing about... Let me finish the sentence. Oh, I'm sorry. So they just said, they just approved two nuclear plants, which will be done in about 10 years. Yeah, they take forever to build. Of course. It's crazy. Yeah, it's dumb. So the other thing is, if you listen to that clip again, she talks, she said, he's, the

37:53 The climate justice guy at the EPA and he's also supposed to be in charge of world affairs when it comes to climate justice? Let's listen again. You are the environmental justice head of it. The environmental justice... Head doesn't sound like a title, but okay. ...program at the EPA which goes to the issue of the disproportionately impacted communities of color in this country, but you look more globally at the world and who is most affected when the US is historically the largest polluter in the world. Oh, so he's really, he works for the world. He doesn't work for the US government. He works to police us because we're hurting the other countries. What kind of deal is that? We're paying this guy? Not anymore. He's former head. Well, that means somebody else took his job. So somebody's getting paid to do this.

38:47 Environmental justice. Let me just see what comes up. Okay, let's go to clip two. Hold on a second. The Biden administration must declare a climate emergency immediately. and use every single power at its disposal. Mustafa is the executive vice president of the National Wildlife Federation, also the CEO and founder of Revitalization Strategies. Mustafa, welcome back to Democracy Now! First respond... Hold on a second. I gotta change. I gotta make a... This was actually the original... Clip change? Clip change? Clip change. I'm sorry, this was the original clip that moved into the other guy. This is how it started.

39:28 So let's start it with that in mind. Okay, by the way, this the the environmental justice head and it's literally PBS has that headline EPA environmental justice head resigns He resigned he left so why I'm gonna find out as we listen to the clip the Biden administration must declare a climate emergency immediately and use every single power at its disposal. I'm sorry, he resigned in 2017 under Trump because Trump. Trump, Trump. Executive vice president of the National Wildlife Federation, also the CEO and founder of Revitalization Strategies. Mustafa, welcome back to Democracy Now! First, respond to the court's ruling. You know, this radical court, the decision that they came down with,

40:19 It is deeply disappointing. It is also destabilizing and it is deadly. My grandmother says that when you know better, do better. The court knew better. It just decided not to do better. And because of that, they put people's lives in danger and they have also put in place steps that will accelerate the climate crisis. We have to continue to engage with frontline communities to make sure that they are going to have the resources they need to be able to navigate this decision as their lives have literally been put in the crosshairs. Sounds like we should have had his grandmother running the show. She has all the cool slogans. Yeah. Let's go to clip three. Tell us what the original... Stop, stop.

41:07 Now we're back to the climate justice guy. Oh yeah, dynamite. Tell us what the original case West Virginia versus EPA is. How did this all begin? Well, it began because of the Clean Power Plan. And of course, we need to go back to the Clean Air Act and just chair with everyone, you know that Congress stated at that time that the Environmental Protection Agency had a right and responsibility to make sure that they were addressing the air pollution and protecting public health and the environment. Fast forward to the Clean Power Plan, which was actually put in place to be able to

41:45 minimize the impacts that were happening from carbon pollution, to put in place the rules that are necessary to make sure that we have a safety net across our country to be able to lower the carbon emissions. So the case that they brought forward is a number of states who did not want EPA to be able to have the ability to do that and as was stated earlier, was driven by the fossil fuel producing states and those industries were the main drivers. So, the ruling comes at a time when climate scientists are urging rich nations to significantly cut down greenhouse gas emissions and divest from fossil fuels. Of course, this not only impacts the United States, this decision will reverberate around the world. Talk about how it will impact the U.S.'s plan to cut

42:39 carbon emissions by what, 50 percent by the end of the decade. Something that President Biden referenced when he talked about this decision being devastating. It makes it so much more difficult to be able to achieve the goals that the IPCC and the National Climate Assessment has shared with us. You know, domestically in our country, just to actually anchor folks in some facts, we've got between 200 and 300 thousand people who die prematurely from air pollution. Ah, climate lockdown, climate lockdown. You're gonna die. How do they know this by the way? I don't know. He's a former head of some thing. They're dying of air pollution. Yes. We've heard this for the over the years we keep hearing this. I mean somebody might have emphasized that air pollution doesn't help but nothing helps. Okay. Hold on.

43:31 Well, yeah, this is not good. This is the last one. This is the EPA decision is about the EPA decision by the courts, which is the worst thing that's ever happened. Of course. Here's some quotes from Democracy Now! Capping carbon dioxide emissions at a level that will force a nationwide transition away from the use of coal to generate electricity may be a sensible solution to the crisis of the day. But it is not plausible that Congress gave EPA the authority to adopt on its own such a regulatory scheme, Robert said. Liberal Justice Elena Kagan slammed the decision, writing in a dissent, what is this journalism, Amy? She likes to say slam. She used to use slam every time with Trump. It was slammed and there was some other term she used that was inappropriate.

44:27 Well, let me finish the clip. Let me finish her clip. That was the first part. That was Roberts's comment and then Kagan has some opposite to say. clue about how to address climate change. And let's say the obvious. The stakes here are high. Yet the court today prevents congressionally authorized agency action to curb power plants' carbon dioxide emissions. Justice Kagan went on to write, The court appoints itself instead of Congress or the expert agency, the decision maker on climate policy. I cannot think of many things more frightening. Whoa! You got butt-slammed! What is she talking about?

45:18 No, nothing's more frightening. The court's not saying it, it's just throwing it out. It's saying, no, you can't do that. They're not saying that they're going to do it. That's what she implied. The signature... Did you listen to what Kagan said? Yeah. She read it correctly. She implied that the court's going to take over. That's what she implied. It's bullcrap. I don't know what's wrong with this woman. Kagan and Sotomayor are two terrible justices. Yeah, they certainly don't you know it's so poorly understood this the three branches of government in you know That people are so insane right now. It's like now. We did just they're not legitimate We have to get rid of the Supreme Court. It's no good. You know Congress they're the ones that do it all the Supreme Court bullcrap

46:04 As if even, you know, because this is all coming, we're going back to the origins of the United States with states' rights. This is what's being presented and states' rights like this haven't been recognized in a long time. Probably not really during my lifetime at all. So, when it comes to, you know, obviously Roe v. Wade is one, which, okay, this has got to go to the states. Same with emissions. And I'm sure it's going to happen with education. And it's about time because all you hear these people saying is, oh, we need to make rules, rules, we have to have rules, not laws, rules. We just make some rules for everybody. It's for rule followers. It's rules.

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

European Energy Crisis, German Energiewende, Vladimir Putin

The energy transition in Germany, known as the Energiewende, is facing significant challenges due to a reliance on intermittent renewables and a shortage of natural gas. High energy prices and the threat of blackouts have forced a return to coal and gas stockpiling. While some officials blame Vladimir Putin and the war in Ukraine for the crisis, analysts point to long-term policy failures and the rejection of shale gas exploration in Europe.

germany· energiewende· renewables· natural gas· nord stream 1

46:46 If people were smart, who were interested in their future in the United States and elsewhere, you would probably look to the European Union and see how they're doing. How did that work with the Energiewende in Germany, the energy transition? I have a couple of clips that address that specifically. This is the editor of, what is this, the Australian, isn't it? The environmental editor, Graham Lloyd. This all started a lot earlier than when Putin rolled his tanks into Ukraine in February, didn't it? Yeah, hi Peter, it did. And really the sort of initial... What she's referring to of course is the price of oil and gas prices around the world. It did. And really the sort of initial call preceded the war in Ukraine and it came when there was a drought in wind all across Europe during the last summer.

47:37 So, reserves of gas that would ordinarily have been stockpiled to use in winter were used due to the absence of renewable power, which set up a cascading disaster that has now resulted in dramatically higher prices, fears that there were going to be shortages and blackouts, and a mad scramble across Europe to return to coal, gas and other things. And it's interesting, if you look at Lomberg's analysis, he is saying, well, for all the money that has been spent, there's been very little return. That is most evident in Germany. But it's all down to an evangelical desire to have renewables at the expense of everything else.

48:27 If you look at the situation in Australia where there's been a lack of exploration for gas in particular, that is mirrored right across the European continent. They rejected the great advances that were made in the United States with shale oil and gas. And even though they have the reserves, they haven't been able to exploit them. This is what's led really to a global shortage of the commodity and you know there's a discussion in Europe as to what extent Russia has pre-planned a lot of this by encouraging people to campaign against resource development in their own countries. I love it. So now that everything is failing...

49:10 Damn that Putin! This was his long game! I had no idea we were foiled again by Putin! Damn Putin. And you know the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, the original, is going to be shut down for maintenance on July 11th. Yeah, will that open? Will that reopen soon? You know, so it's already dripping. Seems unlikely. But what this really, if you want to talk about the long game, it's the the med pipeline. With the Leviathan fields and everything down there off there, you know, that the Israelis and Palestinians are fighting over. That's going to be the most massive, longest underground pipeline ever built. So there's lots of things at play here. This is all just one big show.

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Siemens Energy, E-Fuel, Hydrogen Infrastructure

The CEO of Siemens Infrastructure discusses the role of "e-fuel" and hydrogen in the European energy transition. Siemens is promoting digitalized microgrids and intelligent building software to manage energy consumption. The discussion highlights the marketing shift from "hydrogen" to "e-fuel" to avoid negative public associations and explores the technical differences between AC and DC charging for electric vehicles.

siemens energy· hydrogen· e-fuel· electric vehicles· microgrids

50:01 Siemens Energy, the guys who are supposed to bring us the revolution for Germany, for all of the EU with their hydrogen, as they say. They mean hydrogen, but they say hydrogen. And the CEO of Siemens infrastructure was interviewed. This is all on Euronews, it's fantastic. Anything to make you feel better about... I mean, what are they paying now? They must be paying $15 to $17 a gallon. for gas in the EU. It's got to be close to that. And their natural gas and the prices of the heating oil and the rest of it is up like 8x. It's skyrocketed. So, you know, any good news is good news. Matthias, how can consumers actively participate in the energy transition? Oh, consumers, you can actively participate in the energy transition, the Energiewende.

50:56 That is a very important point. Every kilowatt hour which is not being consumed does not need to be produced. So stop using! That's how you do it! Stop using! So therefore, reducing consumption, being very mindful, buying renewable energy and perhaps also driving an electric car. Which Siemens technologies actually could enable this participation? Yes, starting with the e-car charging I just mentioned with our electric charging infrastructure, of course we provide a full-blown solution for AC and DC charging, which is important. But also we integrate renewable energy projects. I think it's interesting he says we have full-blown solutions for AC and DC charging. That's interesting. Are there any DC electric vehicles?

51:43 that we're aware of for DC charging. Aren't they all DC? Yeah, but they charge AC as far as I know. I don't think they charge DC. Sure they do. I'm pretty sure they charge DC. That's what that box is, that converter you put in your wall. No, no, no. You plug it straight into 240. Now, of course, that has to be in the car. There's a box in between. No, the only box that you have is... It's not sending 240 straight to the car. Yes, yes, yes! Yes, you can put 240 straight into the Tesla, absolutely. But the transverter, the what is it? Trans... the converter. I'm looking for the word. The inverter. The inverter is in the car. That box on the wall is just to charge you more money.

52:34 I have one in the garage here. It's just a 240 outlet and anyone can roll their car up. If the car's running on DC, there's got to be a way to just bypass the AC and go straight DC. It'd be more efficient. Would it? But who has DC charging in their home? And don't tell me that's the box because I don't think it is. Nobody... Okay, let's assume that's the case. I'm going to go along with it because I'm not looking it up. If there's a way of doing DC charging, it'd be more effective. And he's talking about like a DC charger, like a station. Yeah, that's why I'm not understanding it, because as far as I know,

53:12 All cars use AC to charge. I'm just asking a question, we don't have the answer. We should stop asking questions. Let's just stop asking questions. By the way, stop. We're talking about this. So there's a place where they're going to put four hydrogen pumps. We're talking about hydrogen here. Yeah. Hydrogen pumps over here on this gas station near me. I go over there, they don't know anything about it. But if you look at all the listings and everything, oh, here's where hydrogen is going to go in. And they have all these places where hydrogen is going to go in so you can get your hydrogen car and you can fill it up here and there. Well, this guy, this guy actually has a term for it, which I'm not my gas station not having pumps. No, for the hydrogen, for the hydrogen. They're not going to call it hydrogen. Hey,

54:01 How bad is that marketing? They're not going to call it hydrogen? No, they're not going to market it as hydrogen. Of course not. That makes you think, boom. That makes you think Hindenburg. No, no, no, no, no. Hydrogen was always downplayed. The Hindenburg was probably a PR stunt to make it even worse, although that was not... Whatever. He has a term for it. What did you say? You say it wasn't hydrogen in the Hindenburg? Initially, we went through this. Initially, it was always helium. Yeah, but we stopped selling helium because it was a natural resource. And then they went to hydrogen. Yeah, and then they went to hydrogen. And then the first... Hydrogen should work. And the first, not the first voyage of the Hindenburg, but the 12th voyage of the Hindenburg blew up when they were using hydrogen. Sure. It's going to blow up eventually.

54:49 Yes, starting with the e-car charging I just mentioned with our electric charging infrastructure of course we provide a full-blown solution for AC and DC charging which is important. Full-blown, get it? Blow it up! We integrate renewable energy projects as well as, you know, digitalization is the enabler for the energy transition so we provide grid software and intelligent building software who is helping this to bring more transparency and take better decisions. Is there any flagship project which you can mention in this context? There's many around the world, but if I mention just for a township, the city of Wunsiedel for example, where everything comes together. So renewable energy, solar, wind and then even a hydrogen plant where we can create e-fuel and then we have battery storage. So it's totally independent as an island also in the microgrids supported with our software. And then also we have of course the

55:48 We have of course the e-mobility charging infrastructure included as well. Okay, e-mobility but the most important one, e-fuel. It's not hydrogen, it's e-fuel. E-fuel. No, he said hydrogen in his little presentation. He mentioned it twice. He said specifically for the e-fuels. So he said hydrogen... Listen, you'll hear it. He said hydrogen for the e-fuels. It comes together. So renewable energy, solar, wind, and then even a hydrogen plant where we can create e-fuel. A hydrogen plant where we create e-fuel. You see, the hydrogen plant won't be your gas... It will, but we just won't call it that. We'll call it e-fuel.

56:29 Well that's probably to refer to the fuel cell. So if you... I can see you're trying to pull that off. Yeah, well that's... Hey, he's the CEO on a press junket. Hello. That's what you do. That's what you do. And he's, what is he talking about this island? With an island, yeah, you can have electric, all these different things because you can't go very far. Well, he's talking about a small town which he's calling an island because it's one of those test towns. Because no one lives there. Because no one lives there. It's a deserted island. Yeah. Yeah. Now, but remember, this is what Queen Ursula told us. That's why I've got news alerts out on Siemens. You gotta keep an eye on these fuckers.

CHAPTER 13 / 41 Discussion

Liberal World Order, Elsa Kurt, Kamala Harris Impression

White House advisor Brian Deese stated that high gas prices are a necessary cost for the "future of the liberal world order." In a lighter segment, TikTok creator Elsa Kurt is recognized for her viral impressions of Vice President Kamala Harris. Kurt's videos parody Harris's speaking style by reciting song lyrics, such as those from Fleetwood Mac, using the Vice President's distinct cadence and word choice.

brian deese· liberal world order· elsa kurt· kamala harris· tiktok

57:12 So you have a Google thing on Siemens? We have a Google thing on Siemens and we have thousands... We? You got a house in your pocket? What do you mean we? Yes, because we have thousands of producers who are also trolling for this. Our people are smart. That's why they're producers. They pay attention to this stuff. Now in the United States, We don't have rationale like e-fuel. We just say shut up. They say that this could be a long war measured in years and I think everybody understands why this is happening but is it sustainable? What do you say to those families who say, listen we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months if not years. This is just not sustainable.

57:53 Well, what you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes. This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm. Shut up! The future of the liberal world order, there it is. Biden advisor. That was the dumbest thing anyone could say. Brian Deese. Well, of course, but that's because the truth came out for a moment. Well, on the topic of the dummies in the White House. Yes. Have you seen this blonde chick who sounds exactly like Kamala Harris? Blonde chick, okay Is this a woman John or just a blonde chick who does everything is she? Is she a spokeshole? No, she's a on tick tock. She's a tick tocker. She's a good-looking blonde. Mm-hmm. Do you know her name?

58:43 No, I couldn't find her name, but she's famous for sounding exactly like Kamala Harris. I mean, she does, it's an imitation. I'm sure she doesn't talk like this all the time. But I've also heard another, I think Kamala is someone that a lot of women can do. But I've got a 60 second clip of her talking and sounding like Kamala. And you have to imagine, this is a blonde woman who looks Nordic, Mm-hmm doing Kamala Harris, okay, if you wake up Okay, she's already nailing it and don't want to smile if it takes a little while, okay? Listen the lyrics open your eyes Okay, and look at the day. Okay. You're gonna look at the day. Oh

59:35 And listen, you'll see things in a different way, okay? Listen, full stop. Don't stop thinking about tomorrow, okay? Don't stop, because it'll soon be here, okay? It'll be here. It'll be here better than before. Okay, yesterday is gone. Yesterday is gone. Okay, it's gone. And listen, full stop, it is gone. Yeah. Elsa Kurt is her name. Okay. Elsa, it's perfect, like a Swedish name. Elsa Kurt, that's good. That's good. She's nails it. That's very good. And I love that she's just reciting the lyrics to Fleetwood Mac while it's playing in the background. That's really good.

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Milton Friedman, Inflation Theory, Monetary Policy

A 40-year-old clip of economist Milton Friedman explains that inflation is exclusively produced in Washington D.C. through the control of the money supply. Friedman argues that governments often blame greedy businessmen, unions, or foreign entities for rising prices to avoid responsibility for the printing of excess currency. An anecdote regarding the Confederate War illustrates how stopping the printing presses can immediately halt inflationary trends.

milton friedman· inflation· washington dc· monetary policy· printing press

1:00:34 Outstanding. Hey, JP Morgan predicts oil will be $380 a barrel. Oh, that means it's peaked. Whenever maybe the last time this happened, it was Goldman Sachs making these predictions. And the thing was headed toward 100 and I think it just maybe cracked it for a very short time. It dropped back down, then it collapsed. In fact, oil was negative money for a while, like a few days. But Goldman Sachs at that point said, 200. 200 was nothing. As soon as they said 200, it started going down and kept going down. Didn't we track it on the show? Weren't we tracking to see if it could hit 200? Come on, hit 200. We were looking at it. It never got there. It never made it. It stopped. It never made it. Sad. I think this is what's going to happen this time.

1:01:21 Now, just briefly on inflation, because this is something that folds in. It's headline inflation, which is food and energy, the two things we've spoken about for the past hour. Someone sent me this clip of Milton Friedman from 40 years ago. Milton Friedman, the importance of Milton Friedman in economics, is he important in economics? Milton Friedman? Yeah. Yeah, he's the supply. He's the guy who defines supply-side economics perfectly and he's the one who explained stagflation. He was the, he was the, every time we have a economic downturn, one, one economist in particular always shows up, because no one can explain what happens. It's like, what? I don't know what's going on. I mean, now they're blaming Putin. And so all the old theories go out the door and one new guy comes up and says, hey,

1:02:12 Just listen to me and I'm gonna tell you what's happening and that was Friedman and he was the last of the great economists here that Made a made a made a name for himself. Here is Milton Friedman 40 years ago predicting our current predicament in the modern era The important next step is to recognize that today governments control the quantity of money so that as a result Inflation in the United States is made in Washington and nowhere else. Of course, no government any more than any one of us likes to take responsibility for bad things. We're all of us human. If something bad happens, it wasn't our fault. And the government is the same way. So it doesn't accept responsibility for inflation.

1:03:04 If you listen to people in Washington talk, they will tell you that inflation is produced by greedy businessmen, or it's produced by grasping unions, or it's produced by spendthrift consumers. Or maybe it's those terrible Arab sheiks who are producing it. Now of course businessmen are greedy. Who of us isn't? Trade unions are grasping. Who of us isn't? And there's no doubt that the consumer is a spendthrift. At least every man knows that about his wife. But none of them produce inflation for the very simple reason that neither the businessman nor the trade union nor the housewife has a printing press in their basement on which they can turn out those green pieces of paper we call money. Only Washington has that printing press and therefore only Washington can produce inflation.

1:04:07 There you go. From the man himself. That clip has a... Has an ending that I don't have? Yeah, there's more to that clip because it gets really good. Oh, man. What he does, he starts pointing out, for example, the inflationary situation that took place during the Confederate War when the North bombed the printing presses of the Confederates and they couldn't print more money. And the inflation stopped dead. Really now? It went to zero. There was no inflation. And then when they got there, they rebuilt a printing press operation in some other town where the North couldn't bomb it. And they started printing money like crazy and then inflation cranked up again. Money printed over. It was a really good example. Oh, that's fantastic. Well, now if you ask the other side of the equation, the central bank for the United States, the Federal Reserve, the chairman,

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

Jerome Powell, Reverse Repo Market, Zero Hedge Analysis

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell attributed inflation to supply-side issues and the failure of the labor force to return post-vaccination. Financial analysis from Zero Hedge suggests that the reverse repo market has reached $2.3 trillion, creating a quarter of a billion dollars in new money daily. This liquidity, combined with the removal of bank reserve requirements, is cited as a primary driver of persistent inflation.

1:05:03 Uh, Jay, Jay, Jerome, Jay, Jake? What's his name? Jerome. Jerome. Jerome. Who calls our kid Jerome? Jerome. Jerome? That's from the, what's his face, The Time, had Jerome. Jerome, get my mirror. Here is Powell and he blames, well, not himself, not the money printer. It's obvious who's to blame. Mr. Carson was talking about a gray box. What's your gray box? Is there something that you wish you knew that would help in setting money policy? Only one thing. Yeah, no, I'd go back to the same thing really which is what did we what did we get wrong and that really was looking at these supply-side issues and Believing that they would be resolved relatively quickly and that by that I mean There was going to be there were going to be vaccinations everyone would get vaccinated so the millions of people who dropped out of the labor force would come right back in and

1:05:58 So wages wouldn't be under such pressure. That didn't happen for a range of reasons. It didn't happen. Oh, there it is. Because not everybody got vaccinated. They expected everybody to jump on the VAX train, put it in all of their models because of course everybody will just get vaccinated, right? Right? Exactly what that's got to do with the price of bread is beyond me, but okay. Oh, well exactly what Milton Friedman said, they'll blame anything and everything except themselves. You know, there was a, and I don't understand it, but I remember the former New York banker told me that the banks

1:06:35 Where the about the reverse repo market which is now 2.3 trillion dollars. It's doubled in six months or something it's crazy. Is it not the banks are doing that cuz they're pissed off at the fed and so when this article from zero hedge. Which, you know, they're kind of like the gossip rag for Wall Street, but they have some pretty, I think they're pretty accurate in a lot of their analysis. I like zero hedge. I think it's got a lot of good stuff. 1.55% is the current Fed repo rate, which means every single day, $100 million is created or saved, but created and given to the banks for parking their money with the Fed.

1:07:21 And in addition to that, we also found out maybe two or three shows ago, the Fed had removed all reserve capacity for the banks. So instead of 10%, they didn't have to have any. And this is the part that I don't understand. So their reserve requirement is zero. I'll just read from Zero Hedge. Thus converting the trillions in reserves held at the Fed from excess reserves to just regular reserves And so that also now gets, because the reserves are parked at the Fed, I guess, so that's an additional $141 million a day. So what Zero Hedge is saying is that the way this is working, where we're supposed to not be printing as much money with quantitative easing or going to tightening, that the banks are throwing so much money into these reverse repos that it's a quarter of a billion dollars a day of money that's being created

1:08:18 That has nowhere to go except into inflation. I know that was exactly how I felt about it. I don't quite understand it Okay, but when I when zero head says it I'm like, oh maybe it's true. It's got to be something there. Well, whatever the case Inflation be us so just sticking on on the unvaccinated those nasty dirty bastards the cause of inflation If only they had been like Dr. Fauci, if only they had gotten their double boost, their double vax and their double boost like Dr. Fauci, they'd probably be doing much better right now. Dr. Anthony Fauci had a resurgence of COVID-19 symptoms after a five day course of Paxlivid treatment. Fauci is 81 and said he first tested positive for COVID two weeks ago with very minimal symptoms. Once he began to feel worse and given his age, doctors prescribed Paxlivid.

CHAPTER 16 / 41 Discussion

Anthony Fauci, Paxlovid Rebound, Vaccine Compensation

Dr. Anthony Fauci experienced a "rebound" of COVID-19 symptoms after completing a course of the antiviral drug Paxlovid. Meanwhile, the Australian government has begun offering compensation for vaccine-related adverse events, such as pericarditis, for claims exceeding $20,000. This move is noted as a significant departure from the total indemnification typically granted to vaccine manufacturers in other jurisdictions.

anthony fauci· paxlovid· covid-19· australia· vaccine injury

1:09:17 After the five-day course, Fauci tested negative for three consecutive days, but then had a positive test on the fourth day. He subsequently started feeling really poorly and much worse than in the first go-around, he said. Doctors put Fauci back on Paxlavid and after four days, he says he feels reasonably good, but not without symptoms. Man, I don't wish anyone to die. No, this is doesn't this sounds like the end of Fauci. It does. That doesn't sound good. When when an old person says I'm feeling quite poorly, that doesn't sound very good. You know what I mean? Well, this last round of COVID has a long afterlife. It's kind of lingers and they fool around with it.

1:10:03 with this PaxLavid thing and some other, and who knows what else, and it weakened your immune system with all the shots. Well, yes, we do have some data on the safety and efficacy of the shots. Because this is how it was sold to us, safe and effective. Anybody can take it, safe and effective. You're all good to go. Here's some data which comes from the Epoch Times. This right here is a company called Lincoln National. It's a fairly large life insurance firm that's quite literally so old that when it was started, the founders actually asked Abraham Lincoln's son whether it was okay to use his father's likeness in their company branding. He agreed, and over the past 117 years, Lincoln National has grown to be the fifth largest life insurance company in all of America.

1:10:49 However, things aren't so hot right now in the life insurance business, evidenced by the fact that last year, meaning in 2021, Lincoln National reported a 163% increase in death benefits that were paid out under their group life insurance policies. Now, this development came in the form of annual statements, which Lincoln National filed with the different state insurance departments throughout the entire country, and these documents were first obtained by the Crossroads Report through an open records request. Boy, yeah, you know, you can phony up the numbers all you want. But at some point it comes down to the morticians and life insurance companies. These guys come forward and say, hey, you know, we know what these numbers are supposed to be. These aren't the numbers where you know that you guys are telling us because we got the dead body right here or the morticians that find a goop in the people's blood. The worms, long, wormy goop.

1:11:46 In Australia, they're recognizing vaccine adverse events and they are compensating people for it. I find this very interesting because this does not go along with the entire indemnification or immunity that vaccine manufacturers certainly or people who vaccinate you, they're all indemnified, they're all immune from any type of lawsuit. But Australia is just saying, well you know what, a lot of people got hurt so we're going to start shelling out money. It's been a long road to recovery for Matty John. It's a really uncomfortable and quite a frightening experience. He felt like he was having a heart attack.

1:12:28 two days after getting the Pfizer vaccine. I just got this sharp pain that I've never experienced before in the centre of my chest. Diagnosed with severe peri-carditis, he was off work for 10 weeks. You're constantly worrying, I suppose, that anxiety around, I suppose we're talking about your heart. Matty's not alone. It's estimated 79,000 people have suffered adverse reactions to vaccines. Now the government's offering compensation. Claims under $20,000 will need evidence from your doctor. Claims over $20,000 assessed by a team of legal experts. The highest figure reserved for only the most serious of cases. I think it could cost the government a lot of money. Daniel O'Pare works at Shine Lawyers.

1:13:16 He's looked closely at the government scheme. If you do suffer pericarditis, it can result in you being out of pocket. You know, you might have to see a cardiologist, you might need procedures. So it is definitely appropriate that there is a vaccination scheme there to compensate those people. But like all schemes, there are limitations. To make a claim, you must spend at least one night in hospital. And that's a clause that makes Matty John ineligible. He was admitted to hospital twice but never stayed the night. It is a little bit frustrating and out of pocket a fair bit but in saying that too it is what it is and that's life. The scheme is now open. I don't understand why they're doing this though aren't they opening themselves up to all kinds of issues?

CHAPTER 17 / 41 Discussion

Jeffrey Sachs, Lab Leak Theory, Lancet COVID Commission

Professor Jeffrey Sachs, chair of the Lancet's COVID commission, stated his conviction that COVID-19 emerged from a U.S. biotechnology blunder rather than a natural spillover. Sachs argues that there is sufficient evidence to warrant an investigation into U.S. biolabs, suggesting the virus may have been moved to Wuhan for further development. The hosts discuss the diplomatic implications of the "lab leak" vs. "wet market" debate.

jeffrey sachs· lancet· covid-19· wuhan lab· biotechnology

1:14:05 Well, their legal system is not the same as ours. Right, but other countries will see this and people will go like, hey, Australia's recognizing it, why can't you recognize it for me? It's just going to create more problems whether they do anything about it or not. You're assuming this information gets out. I'm sorry, what am I even thinking? How about this information then? For two years, two and a half years, the debate from almost the very beginning, bat versus lab, did it come from a wet market in a bat? Did it come from the lab in Wuhan? You, John C. Dvorak, are the only one who has offered a viable alternative to this debate. And Professor Jeffrey Sachs, who for two years chaired

1:14:48 Lancet's COVID commission, the Lancet, no slouchy publication. It's the publication I would say, the Lancet, universally trusted. Here's what he said about the debate. I'll add one provocative statement. We could take it up later. It may shock you or not shock you or you may say I already know that Professor Sachs, but I chaired a commission for the Lancet for two years on COVID. I'm pretty convinced it came out of U.S. lab biotechnology, not out of nature. Just to mention, after two years of intensive work on this, so it's a blunder in my view of biotech, not an accident of a natural spillover. We don't know for sure. I should be absolutely clear.

1:15:35 But there's enough evidence that it should be looked into and it's not being investigated. Not in the United States, not anywhere. And I think for real reasons that they don't want to look underneath the rug control. So most people would hear that and say, oh, he's talking about the Wuhan lab. And I disagree. I think what he's saying is this is from a U.S. biolab in the United States, which would make sense for Dietrich. Yeah, that's what I think it was moved to Wuhan, but it was developed here. It was moved to Wuhan for further development. And the other one, since it's a piece of shit lab, everyone's always said it was leaky. Piece of shit lab. Piece of shit lab that broke, let the stuff out all over the place. And next thing you know, the Chinese are totally freaked out by it, probably irked at us. And there's some you see a lot of diplomatic stuff going back and forth. It makes no sense unless you think of it in those terms.

1:16:37 that, you know, it's our thing and they don't, you know, they don't want to. And so we, the Chinese did something like, you better never blame us for this. Yeah. Okay. From a bat. Yeah. I'm on a bat. Oh yeah. We'll take that. We'll take that. Yeah, I know. The world is going to shit, man. I don't think we've ever seen it this crazy. Have we ever seen it this crazy? It's always been this crazy. That's the great thing about it. And with that, I'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to you, the man who put the C's in counting cow farts, ladies and gentlemen, say hello to my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Dvorak!

No Agenda Social, Episode Art, 15th Anniversary

The hosts discuss the growth of the No Agenda Social Mastodon instance as a decentralized alternative to mainstream social media. They review listener-submitted art for recent episodes, debating the merits of various designs including "Bomb Rotterdam" and "No Agenda Taco Bell." The show prepares for its 15th anniversary and the milestone of Episode 1500, emphasizing its long-standing "value-for-value" funding model.

1:17:17 In the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry. Also in the morning to all ships at sea. Boots on the ground, feet in the air, and all the dames and knights out there. And subs in the water. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room there at trollroom.io. Hello! Good to see everybody here. We should probably count them. Alright, hey, let's scurry out of the way there, trolls. How many do we have? It's for a holiday weekend, not bad. 2008. 2008? Yes, 2008. Well, it's a Sunday and it's a holiday weekend. People are stuck at the airport. Oh yeah, okay. That's probably... Everyone's at the airport, believe me. We'll have clips about that later. The Troll Room is there for you. It is a place for you to enjoy the full maximum value of your No Agenda show, but not just that, all of No Agenda Nation.

1:18:06 24 seven, there's a stream there. And I think having built a very unsuccessful one, I think this is the most successful podcast network. It's all talk, no commercials. It's beautiful. And a lot of them are live and you can listen to that stream live and you can chat about it with fellow friends. Typically it's trolling and you're trolling the host, you're trolling each other, but it's a lot of fun. There's very low moderation as far as I can tell in that troll room. and hasn't ever really been for, what is it now, 13 years that things been going? So we appreciate all the trolls showing up. Of course, you can also follow us on our Mastodon. Our accounts are johncdvorak at noagendasocial.com, adam at noagendasocial.com. You can follow those accounts. And once you do, then of course, you'll federate because this works across. This is

1:18:53 This is really, it's the future of social media. Eventually they'll all move to this kind of model, so get a leg up, claim your space now. Start a Mastodon server, you can do it for five bucks a month. It's turnkey operation, definitely worth it. I want to thank the artist for episode 1464, we titled this Bomb Rotterdam, I did not get a phone call from my daughter, so. I guess she didn't listen or didn't catch. Rotterdam was not afraid of our title, let's put it that way. And this art was a hat trick. Three peat for capitalist agenda. The new Bitcoin sperm right there. Beautiful.

1:19:35 We both left. We definitely have to note that this was a repurposing of an old art piece he had done previously. Oh, I hadn't... Did we talk about that? I didn't know if that had happened. Well, you click on his thing and you'll see it. And it's his recent too, but it was in different colors. But he designed this little sperm that he was proud of. So he was going to keep using it forever. Oh, I see. Life is good. Now, yeah, but he needed the Interesting. That was 1463 he had a similar one. You're right. He was just going to keep pushing that sperm on us until we finally accepted it. Yeah, you're right. This was a tough one because there was a lot of good art. But there were problems. Well, the one that we both seemed to like was Darren O'Neill's tube top. And it was really well done. It was cheesecake. It was relevant. And it's just like,

1:20:34 I probably said, you know... I think it was me, ironically. Yeah, really? But I also wonder why he posterized it. I thought it was weird, but he used a Photoshop outline trick and then he posterized it. Well, that was to tone down the misogyny, I think. He put the misogyny filter on as if that makes any difference. I don't know if that helped. Then there was... You liked the turkey. You were pushing hard for the turkey. The I'm offended turkey. The I'm offended turkey. Oh, the I'm offended turkey I thought was good. That was a little TikTok logo. But when we looked at it... I said it was just too messy. There was stuff... It was missing...

1:21:22 Yeah, it was no good. It was missing cohesion or something. I mean, you know, I'm no art critic. You're like, make turkey great again. No, make turkey yay again. Yay again. Yeah. I just thought that piece was just, it was too understated. The logo could have been bigger, the other thing could have been bigger. The one I liked, which the execution was just not right on, was from Tantanille, which was the wheel grabber with Trump grabbing the little plastic wheel in the back of the car. Yes, I like that one too. But it just didn't have the right execution. It was a nice piece. It was funny. It was one of the funniest pieces.

1:21:59 I'm looking back and I'm looking at she also did, Tantini also did Boom Rotterdam. And I believe the imagery she's using is from Missile Command, if I'm not mistaken, an old Apple game from the Apple II days. Interesting. If I could be wrong. Well, the thing with that is that Rotterdam is not recognized. I mean, I see the Euromast, I see the bridge. It would be completely, it would be lost on everybody. Everybody lost on me. All I got was the obviously missile command thing. Right. When you have the title there of the art, yeah, then you understand it. But we don't publish the title of the art. Anyway, I thought there was a lot of good stuff. I even liked the No Agenda Taco Bell from Dirty Jersey Whore.

1:22:50 dirty Jersey whore who says she assuming it's a woman I'm sure it's a dude are you kidding me it could be a dude yeah obviously a dude he's only done two things neither one that good but the taco bell thing I thought was well executed but yeah sir sir side real the no agenda wall which we didn't talk about during the selection process which is the pink Floyd wall with lettering I thought it was nice a nice piece as a Just I don't know I liked it. I don't even see it down way down at the bottom I still don't see you see the NATO is finished flag Me too is all the way at the button next to it to the right to the right where it just says no agenda wall I don't and it's on my computer just comes up as it's so it's so light It's the Pink Floyd album cover of the wall with the same lettering. Okay, okay

1:23:50 Have you ever heard of Pink Floyd? You know, they're a pretty popular band. I went to see the wall presentation by John Waters live at Candlestick Park. So how can you miss the actual wall from the presentation you saw live? That's interesting. Well, the wall was in bricks. It was bricks. It's bricks here. It's white. Okay, let's go look at the album cover for The Wall from Pink Floyd. And lo and behold, it is white with bricks. Well, I'm saying the presentation live is not white. That's just a cover of that album. Yeah, well, I would have thought that they would have... It doesn't matter. You can't see it. It doesn't look right on... That's all we need to know. If it doesn't look right on your computer, then it's no good.

1:24:42 That's how we, that's how we, you know, what everyone has a veto in this game. He also had the, he did a coat hanger. Yeah, we don't do coat hangers. So I'm watching the French protest of the, of the, the French are protesting our court actions. They really make a big fuss. Oh, you mean they're protesting Roe v. Wade? Yeah, yeah, big, big time. That's happening everywhere. Yeah, it's like an international thing. This is really out of control, this internationalism, this globalism. So they were protesting the coat, one of them had coat hangers. The big thick plastic ones. No. I'm not kidding. They don't really understand the coat hanger process, I guess. That's interesting. They don't, I don't know, maybe they don't use wire coat hangers at all. I don't know if they stopped using them. If you bring this up now, I feel I should play my Roe v. Wade clips.

1:25:35 We'll do it right after the break. Okay, promises, promises. Yes, where were we? Did I just close that? I closed that out, I guess. Well, we thank Capitalist Agenda very much for Capitalist Agenda hat trick three in a row, the three Pete. Typically, a good artist will now pull back a little bit and let others have a chance in our world of equity. But I would say do what Martin JJ used to do, just keep beating him, beating everyone back, and then quitting out of the blue. Do like the Dutch guy did it. Just beat everybody and then quit. And then don't even send a note anymore. Just, ah, I'm done with y'all. Although he's still pretty active on Noah Jenna Social.

1:26:20 Yeah, complaining. We appreciate the work that all of our artists do, of course. It's fantastic. It's one of the highlights of the show. The show's over. We loved the show. We had a good time. And then we still get to choose some funky-ass art and look inside of your crazy-ass brains. It's a joy. It really is. I appreciate it. And as we move closer towards our 15th anniversary and a show 1500, two celebrations coming up this year, thank you again to all the producers who have made this possible for all this time. No commercials, no deplatforming. We're still here. We've never missed a show. We've never had, as far as I know, have we ever missed a show? We've never missed a show, have we? No. Never missed a show.

Declaration of Independence, John Adams, Laura Ingalls Wilder

The historical context of the Declaration of Independence is explored, noting that while the document was signed on July 4th, independence was formally declared on July 2nd. A passage from Laura Ingalls Wilder's "Little Town on the Prairie" is read to illustrate how the holiday was celebrated in the late 19th century. The discussion reflects on the loss of traditional American "canon" and the shift toward commercialized holidays.

1:32:37 And last on our short list is Sir Benny in Indianapolis $200 and he writes from Sir Benny to Dame Swanee Happy birthday You know you leave she's on the list. Yes. She is that was it yeah Yeah, very sure and I thought that it would we would do the expected some 4th of July stuff in there and And especially since in the newsletter you put something in there that I did not know, which July 2nd, which happens to be today, date of broadcast. No, no, no, no, it was July 2nd, it was yesterday. Today's... No, today's the 2nd. No, today's the 3rd. Holy crap, that was yesterday. Right. Yeah. That is the actual date of the Declaration of Independence. No, no, no, it's the day we declared independence.

1:33:26 The second is the day that was declared. The documents were all signed on the 4th and 5th and 6th and 7th and 8th and backdated. It was interesting, you know, what... And my favorite part about it, it was in the newsletter, but John Adams says, July 2nd will remain in the Americans' mind and celebrated for eons. Really? Yeah, he said, yeah, it was in there. Well, about a hundred years later, So I really feel that the, you know, is it this liturgy? Is that the term? We've lost a lot of our traditions in the United States. I'm sure it's the same everywhere. I think canon would be the right term for this. Canon? Our canon. We lost our canon. Yeah, the canon is like the things you're supposed to know.

1:34:23 And, you know, President's Day, you know, that's universally known as Mattress Sale Day. I think Memorial Day and Veterans Day, no one, it's all confusing. No one knows exactly which is which and who are we thanking. It's just, we just, thanks for everyone's service. You know, we don't give a shit. Nobody cares. Nobody cares. Armistice Day is gone. VJ Day is gone. Independence Day. It used to be called Independence Day, Happy Independence Day. And of course that morphed towards 4th of July, which means more sales, you know, around the 4th of July. Sales, basically. Sales, food. Lemons. And a buddy of mine, actually he's the, Stephen B., he's the developer of CurioCaster. And we had him on Podcasting 2.0 on Friday and I needed to have a

1:35:11 Get a little audio check from and he was reading this thing. I'm like, what are you reading from? I said, oh I'm reading from the 4th of July passage from Laura Ingalls Wilder from one of her books And Laura Ingalls Wilder for those who don't recognize the name she wrote the little house on the prairie which was a whole series I think nine books and The sixth or seventh book is little town on the prairie which is in South Dakota and And it's so different about how they, and that was 100 years, more than 100 years after the Declaration of Independence. And they all went to the town square and they all bitched about the Brits and they all bitched about the king. And here I have just a little bit of a speech here. Well, boys, I'm not much good at public speaking, but today's the glorious fourth. So they already were talking the fourth and not the second 100 years later.

1:36:09 This is the day and date when our forefathers cut loose from the despots of Europe. There weren't many Americans at the time, but they wouldn't stand for any monarch tyrannizing over them. They had to fight the British regulars and their hired assassins and the murdering, scalping, red-skinned savages those fine gold-laced aristocrats turned loose in our settlements and paid for, murdering and burning and scalping women and children. A few barefoot Americans had to fight the hold of them and lick them, and they did fight them, and they did lick them. Yes, sir, we licked the British in 1776, we licked them again in 1812, and we backed all the monarchies of Europe out of Mexico and off this continent less than 20 years ago. And by glory, yes, sir, by old glory right here waving over my head, any time the despots of Europe try to step on America's toes, we'll lick them again.

1:37:00 You know, and that's... Yeah, those days are over. We lick them, but we lick their butts. Thank you to these executive and associate executive producers of episode 1465. It is the Patriot edition, and I'm sorry, the Independence Day edition.

1:38:09 It's really worth, it's very odd but reading, so I reread all of Little House on the Prairie, it's a very short book. And you just look at, they went in a covered wagon across, you know, westward and all they had was the wagon, you know, whatever flower and stuff they had with them, a gun, which with musket balls, and an axe, and some nails. It's amazing how happy they were. And look at all the technology and crap we got now. We're nothing but unhappy bastards. We're just not happy.

Democratic Party Fundraising, Roe v. Wade, Texas Liberal Rant

A viral rant from a Texas liberal, "Ultra Jeff," criticizes the Democratic Party for prioritizing fundraising emails over legislative action following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Jeff highlights the immense net worth of leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Dianne Feinstein, arguing that the party failed to prepare despite a five-week lead time from the leaked Supreme Court draft. The hosts analyze the frustration of voters who feel powerless despite their party being in office.

democratic party· nancy pelosi· roe v. wade· fundraising· texas

1:38:46 I mean, I speak for, you know, I'm happy, but in general, I think, well, you know, let me tell you, let me give an example because you promised we could do this right after the break. Here is someone who's very unhappy. This is Ultra Jeff. He's from Texas. Ultra Jeff is, and we have many liberals in Texas who would vote for the Democrat party. And And here's his rant. I'm not going to shut up about this. I'm not because I can't yell at the Republicans. They're not going to change. They are who they are. I'm stuck with them. We're not going to change them. You can't shame them. You can't convince them. You can't trick them. You can't fucking out plan them. But I can yell at the Democratic Party. I should probably say not safe for work. And I can tell them where they can at least make one fucking small change to stop pissing me the fuck off every hour right now. Stop sending me.

1:39:36 Stop sending me fundraising requests right now. Okay? The Republican Party had a plan for the last 50 years to overturn Roe v. Wade. We had a leak five weeks ago telling us that this exact thing was going to happen. And your response after five weeks of careful study and planning and thought has been to send us nonstop fundraising emails. All right? So let me just leave you a quick list. Mark Warner, Mark Warner, He's the Democratic Senator from Virginia. He's worth $214.1 million. Don Beyer, he's a Democratic Virginia House member. He's worth $124.9 million. Dean Phillips, he's a Minnesota House member. He is worth $123.8 million. Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the fucking House of the Democratic Party from California is worth $114.7 million. Dianne Feinstein, who doesn't know where the fuck she is right now,

1:40:33 Senator from California, part of the Democratic Party, is worth $87.9 million. Million! You guys want money? Fucking call your guy! You call him every week to do insider trading. Stop fucking sending me emails. Stop sending me fucking texts. Stop fucking reading poems and singing goddamn karaoke. You have power. You have it. You're in those seats. We're the ones who are powerless. Stop fucking pretending you're protesting. If you don't want to fucking do it or it's too hard, fucking retire. You're rich as shit. You don't need to do anything. If I had $114.7 million, Nancy Pelosi, you know what I'd do? First thing, I'd get my fucking husband a driver so he doesn't get a goddamn DUI. Second thing you know what I'd do? I'd be on a fucking boat. I'd be on a fucking boat. What I find so interesting of this rant is that not once it doesn't appear to come up in him, in his mind, uh, let's vote them out.

1:41:33 This does not come up in his mind. It's only yelling and bitching and shaming and I'm sad that he didn't say stop asking me to chip in because that would have really made it quicker. That would have made it quicker today. I heard this clip and I said, gee, where's the chip in thing? That would have been ideal. I was the same way. I'm like, oh man, I'll play it but I wish he would have said stop asking me to chip in. So he just doesn't see the obvious and he says we have no power. What? That's exactly the opposite of what we should be recognizing on a day like today. We have the people always hold the power, but not if you just sit at home and all you can do is drop F-bombs and complain about how rich everybody is. That's not going to work. Yeah, it sounds like, I mean, it was just a typical Democrat.

1:42:24 And I think we need to just say typical socialists because it's so obvious. I think you're right. It's more socialists. Let the government do everything. Why aren't you doing more? How about this? Atheist and socialist. Atheist. Socialist and atheist. Atheist. I got it right. It's atheists. They're out of control. But it really is a part of that. It's because when you're a satheist, you believe the state is God. You know, that's where, that's your daddy. You know, you don't have a cloud daddy. What was it? You don't have a cloud daddy or a sky papa. No, you have the state and you believe the state is going to take care of you. And that's the same group because I saw the professionally printed signs that started this crap down under. From Washington DC to Swanston Street. This fury knows no bounds.

Melbourne Abortion Protests, Bodily Autonomy, Anti-Vaccination Clash

Thousands of protesters marched in Melbourne, Australia, in solidarity with American women following the U.S. Supreme Court's abortion ruling. The event saw a clash between pro-choice activists and anti-vaccination demonstrators who attempted to join the march under the banner of "bodily autonomy." Police removed the anti-vaccination group, highlighting the ideological tensions regarding medical freedom and reproductive rights.

melbourne· australia· abortion rights· bodily autonomy· anti-vaccination

1:43:20 America's decision prompting action on Melbourne streets as thousands stormed the city in solidarity. Women of all ages and their supporters defending their right to have an abortion. It's terrifying. It makes me, you know, want to cry. It's scary. No one else should be making laws about what we want to do with our bodies. No one should be forced to be pregnant. No one should be forced to give birth. It's been one week since the US Supreme Court overturned 50 years of precedent revoking Americans constitutional right to abortion, effectively banning it in 13 states. Today the message in Melbourne was... We will rise up and

1:44:03 We need to show that we care about the people that are over there and we need to show that we won't stand for this happening here either. It feels like we've gone back in time as opposed to progressing and going forward. Now it's about to get really interesting in this particular protest because we know in the United States These protests have typically been kind of snarked at. It's like, oh, you didn't agree with bodily autonomy when it came to vaccinations. There's clip after clip of man on the street. Of course, it's edited. Asking these protesters that very question, well, isn't the vaccination mandate, isn't that also an issue with bodily autonomy? And then their brain freezes.

1:44:50 So you'll hear that same thing happen here in Melbourne. This ruling won't impact laws in Australia, but those here today say while abortion may be legal, it's not accessible for all and can cost some women thousands of dollars. It's a postcode lottery. We're fighting for an expansion actually of public health care so that all women can genuinely exercise their reproductive rights. Women won't decide the fate! But they also had to fight off opposition. You're a pig and f***er! Men identifying as Christians were thrown out after having... I love this! Men identifying as Christians. This is a new term. I love it. They're not really Christians, they're just identifying as Christians. But they also had to fight off opposition.

1:45:38 Men identifying as Christians were thrown out after having coffee thrown on them. God has spoken, he said he's against abortion and the Bible says he's against abortion so we come here to tell people the truth. They stand for death, we stand for life. Hallelujah. But it was the anti-vaccination demonstrators who prompted a response from public order police. The tiny crowd booed by pro-abortion protesters after claiming they were fighting for the same cause. For many of these women and their children, motivation to march was simple. We can just live our own lives instead of having to have a baby that we might not want. And for others, it's a matter of life or death. It's okay, two things before this is almost done. So first of all, the

1:46:24 Anti-vaxxers showed up and said we're on the same side with you on bodily autonomy, and they got kicked out by the police And then this poor little girl who is all of eight or nine years old and looking at her mom the whole time She's talking well. This is important because you know so you don't you know get a baby You don't want to have did did the education of this child miss the entire you know the whole sex part and If you don't want to have a baby that you don't really want to have, did they miss that whole thing? Because it doesn't seem like that's the education path here. Much was simple. We can just live our own lives instead of having to have a baby that we might not want. And for others, it's a matter of life or death. Take it from those who've been there. It was just not the life I wanted at 17. Abortion is healthcare and healthcare is a human right.

1:47:19 Yeah, and the signs were the socialist signs. I forget what it's called now, like Australia Socialists something. You could see them. Yeah, like Workers' Party of some sort. And these poor women who were there, and some men I presume, they really think that they're doing good, but they're being played for... there's tools. They're political tools, and they're being mobilized and activated, and they don't quite understand it. Well, since it's got nothing to do with Australia, you'd think not. But okay, let's go to France. We have the same situation. And like you said, this is worldwide as though the United States... And I want to mention that I did get this clip. I tried and tried and tried. I was all over France 24 trying to get this woman saying that

CHAPTER 23 / 41 Discussion

France Abortion Constitution, Bricolage, Globalist Response

In France, demonstrators in Paris and Lyon are calling for abortion rights to be entrenched in the national constitution to prevent a reversal similar to the U.S. experience. Legal experts describe the current protection as a "bricolage"—a balancing exercise by the Constitutional Court. The hosts suggest that the global reaction to the U.S. Supreme Court decision stems from a "globalist panic" over the reassertion of state-level sovereignty.

france· lyon· constitution· simone veil law· bricolage

1:48:08 I'm gonna say essentially saying oh well It's important what happened there because what happens in the United States it affects us all worldwide She said that yeah, yeah, well, I'm thinking you're in France, and this is whoa I thought that was a bad thing I thought that was bad a French person would not say that in my lifetime Well, they're saying it now and here. We are in France. Let's go to France anti-abortion fee A week after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, many countries in the world have seen rallies calling for the right to abortion. Here in France and different cities such as in Lyon, Brest and Paris, demonstrators are demanding for the right to terminate a pregnancy be protected by the Constitution.

1:48:55 Earlier France 24 spoke with Denis Barranger, professor of public law at the University of Paris and he explains why the so-called Simon Veil law is not in the French constitution. The right to abortion is not set in stone in the marble of the written law of the constitution. It's not entrenched in the constitution. It is protected though by the Constitutional Court, Conseil Constitutionnel in France. It has done so by some kind of bricolage, by balancing exercise between the freedom of the women and... Hold on, what did he call that? A frutillage? What did he call that? It has done so by some kind of bricolage. What is that word he's using? I thought he said recolage or some sort of... I don't know what the word is. And it sounds like they have a very similar thing to Roe v. Wade in France here. I think...

1:49:43 Yeah, probably. It is similar. It is protected though by the Constitutional Court, Conseil Constitutionnel in France. It has done so by some kind of bricolage, a balancing exercise between the freedom of the women and the dignity of of the baby, of the embryo. So as of now we see in the US that protection by a constitutional court is probably not enough. Everything can change politically in France. As of now most parties are not against abortion. Even the National Front has said by the mouth, through the mouth of Madame Le Pen that they're not against

1:50:20 freedom to abortion. But then again, probably there is a sense in Europe now and especially in France that setting in stone the right to abort, the freedom to abort in the written constitution to entrench it, as we lawyers say, might be a good idea. And it's made to be more difficult than... any other parliamentary statute. So to entrench any clause in the written constitution there is a process which begins with Parliament. So the bill would have to be voted in the same phrasing by the houses of Parliament.

1:51:03 Is the word? It's the word of the day. Bricolage. The construction or creation of a work from a diverse range of things that happen to be available. That's like this show. This show is a bricolage. We are a bricolage. Huh, well that's fine and then they were there's and they showed the protests and they were just the same as the ones everywhere else and did like here. How about there's a bunch of women walking down the street with signs printed by the socialists about bitching and moaning. It's illegal. I mean I'm still shocked in California that anyone's protesting. Let's try this on for size. This is a shock to the globalist system, the liberal world order.

1:51:43 And they realized right away that this radical Supreme Court has lifted up the covers and said, America, you're actually free. And they can't have that in their countries. That cannot go on. So that's why they immediately start these protests. I don't think this has happened ever. Well, that's not true. Black Lives Matter. We also have Black Lives Matter protest. Vaccinations for God's sake. The vaccination frenzy and furor is all, it just looks like the same game. All part of it. Black Lives Matter is a good example, but I don't think it holds a candle to vaccination. Mania! Well, I'm just talking about the protests and in this case they're protesting against a move of freedom by the United States Supreme Court. And so that's why they're conflating it saying, oh, well, they took away your rights, they obliterated the constitutional rights of women, which is just factually not true. Most women woke up in their state and was exactly the same as the day before.

CHAPTER 24 / 41 Discussion

Joe Biden, Filibuster Exception, Executive Action Rhetoric

President Joe Biden has signaled support for a filibuster exception in the Senate to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. This move has been criticized by Republicans like Mitch McConnell as an attack on the rule of law. Despite pressure from his own party for sweeping executive actions, Biden's legislative path remains blocked by moderate Democrats who oppose changing Senate rules.

joe biden· filibuster· senate· executive action· mitch mcconnell

1:52:49 So I think there's a little panic. I think the globalist angle has got to be it, because what else could it be? Because it's global. Yeah. Here's a local report, Good Morning America, about Roe v. Wade, one week later. Let's see it. Let's get an update. One week after the Supreme Court ruling. And with the president facing growing pressure, Biden is ramping up his rhetoric. The first and foremost thing we should do is make it clear How outrageous this decision was. The president pushing Congress to enshrine abortion rights into law. And for the first time, Biden now says he supports making an exception to change the Senate rules so that Democrats could do this with just a simple majority rather than 60 votes. I believe we have to codify Roe v. Wade in the law.

1:53:39 And the way to do that is to make sure the Congress votes to do that. Top Senate Republican Mitch McConnell calling Biden's comments an inappropriate attack on the court that undermines equal justice and the rule of law. But even with Biden's backing, a rule change is not going to happen. Two moderate Democrats are opposed. The president's critics, even members of his own party, are calling for him to do more, demanding sweeping executive action to counter the court. I'm the only president they got. And I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power. In the meantime, protests across the country. You know, they try to keep it so Biden doesn't say anything stupid on these reports. I mean, we play the stupid stuff, but the mainstream media won't do it. Obfuscated, of course.

1:54:29 But this one they fucked up because this was a stupid thing he just said. Listen, play that little bit again. ...for him to do more, demanding sweeping executive action to counter the court. I'm the only president they got and I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power. In the meantime, protests... Okay. I feel that I'm gonna do everything in my power. It's like a performative. I feel strongly that I'm gonna do everything in my power. What does that mean? Biden is a walking performative. That's all the guy does. Hey, Joey. Joey, sit down. I don't want to talk to you about this. I'm the only president they got. And I feel extremely strongly that I'm gonna do everything in my power. In the meantime, protest across the country. Extremely strongly.

1:55:18 Then I'm gonna do everything in my power. In the meantime, protests across the country rage on. We want justice! While the reality sinks in. I want to explain to our foreign producers, but also a lot of producers right here in America, why this is such a big deal and why it is, particularly around 4th of July, I'm just going to go back to Laura Ingalls Wilder for a moment. to give you a little feel of what it was like over a hundred years ago, a hundred years after the Declaration of Independence. So again, it's 4th of July, her dad is singing my country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, and that ends with protect us thy might, great God our king. And so here's what she wrote, it's very short.

CHAPTER 25 / 41 Discussion

American Liberty, God-Given Rights, 10th Amendment

The philosophical foundations of American liberty are discussed, emphasizing the idea that rights are endowed by a creator rather than granted by the state. The Constitution is framed as a document that forbids government interference in these inherent rights. The 10th Amendment is highlighted for its unique "double-dipping" presence in both the main body and the Bill of Rights to protect states' rights.

constitution· bill of rights· 10th amendment· states rights· liberty

1:54:29 But this one they fucked up because this was a stupid thing he just said. Listen, play that little bit again. ...for him to do more, demanding sweeping executive action to counter the court. I'm the only president they got and I feel extremely strongly that I'm going to do everything in my power. In the meantime, protests... Okay. I feel that I'm gonna do everything in my power. It's like a performative. I feel strongly that I'm gonna do everything in my power. What does that mean? Biden is a walking performative. That's all the guy does. Hey, Joey. Joey, sit down. I don't want to talk to you about this. I'm the only president they got. And I feel extremely strongly that I'm gonna do everything in my power. In the meantime, protest across the country. Extremely strongly.

1:55:18 Then I'm gonna do everything in my power. In the meantime, protests across the country rage on. We want justice! While the reality sinks in. I want to explain to our foreign producers, but also a lot of producers right here in America, why this is such a big deal and why it is, particularly around 4th of July, I'm just going to go back to Laura Ingalls Wilder for a moment. to give you a little feel of what it was like over a hundred years ago, a hundred years after the Declaration of Independence. So again, it's 4th of July, her dad is singing my country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, and that ends with protect us thy might, great God our king. And so here's what she wrote, it's very short.

1:56:08 The crowd was scattering away, Lara stood stock still. Suddenly she had a complete new thought. The Declaration and that song came together in her mind and she thought, God is America's king. She thought Americans won't obey any king on earth. Americans are free. That means they have to obey their own consciences. No king bosses. Pa, he has to boss himself. When I'm a little older, Pa and Ma will stop telling me what to do and there isn't anyone else who has the right to give me orders. I will have to make myself be good. Her whole mind seemed to be lighted up by that thought. This is what it means to be free. It means you have to be good. Our Father's God, author of liberty, the laws of nature and nature's God endow you with the right to life and liberty. Then you have to keep the laws of God for God's law is the only thing that gives you a right to be free. And that's the point. America was based on the idea

1:57:01 that all of these rights were given to us by God, our creator. And the Constitution and the Bill of Rights is only to show what the government, well, to forbid the government from doing certain things in certain areas. And it's only been a hundred plus years, and I think the true meaning of that, or how people grow up and feel, has been completely eradicated. Well, it's been subverted by the socialists. Subverted, subverted, thank you. Yeah, subverted, but it's not eradicated because it's still there. It's still there, obviously. Yeah, and all you have to do is shake somebody hard enough. Come out to Hill Country. You go to Texas and you'll get it. Not eradicated here. Exactly.

1:57:46 But that's where America is coming from. Most of the country, except the media centers. Yes, probably very Christian and think this way. Well, even if they're not Christian, they're not atheists usually and they tend to follow some of these old ideas and they educate their kids properly. It's the media centers that are the problem. New York, California, Washington, I would put Seattle in there, in their educational systems. You go into the flyover states and things are pretty normal.

1:58:26 But that's just so people understand that all this noise about the Supreme Court took away constitutional rights, that's just factually untrue. Yeah, do a word search in the Constitution, look for the word abortion, see if it's in there. Where's the constitutional right? And by the way, the Constitution doesn't grant rights. It prevents the government from taking away rights. That's what it's for. And the Bill of Rights is there just to reiterate. These are the ones, by the way. And people pointed out that in fact, we've had an expert years ago, we played a clip of the guy going over the 10th Amendment, which is quite interesting. The 10th Amendment so important. It's about states' rights. That it had to be put, it's in the Constitution, but it's also in the Bill of Rights. It's the only one that's double dipping. It's doubled up. Because it's like, hey, this is important.

CHAPTER 26 / 41 Discussion

Hyde Amendment, Atheist NGO Grants, Overseas Funding

The Hyde Amendment is identified as the legislative provision barring federal funds from being used for abortions. Concurrently, Republican lawmakers have challenged the State Department over grants totaling $500,000 awarded to atheist and humanist NGOs in the Middle East and North Africa. Critics question how promoting non-belief overseas advances U.S. foreign policy interests or adheres to constitutional standards.

hyde amendment· atheism· ngo· antony blinken· state department

1:59:18 But, okay, so the Supreme Court took away some rights for the first time ever. Rights have been taken away. We were talking about the legality of federal money being spent on abortions and I couldn't remember why I thought that was illegal. And of course, one of our producers stepped up. It's the Hyde Amendment. We knew that. Oh yes, the Hyde Amendment. I recall Hyde. Henry Hyde, I think. Henry? Was it Hank? Hank Hyde? I can't remember. Was it a Hank or was it someone else? It's Henry, you're right. Henry J. Hyde. Henry Hyde. Hank. We called him Hank for short.

2:00:02 So I've got just to switch around here, you mentioned the atheists which I've done twice now. I'm gonna might as well play this clip. This is a weird one. I guess our government is giving away money, our taxpayers' money, to various atheists, specifically atheist NGOs overseas. Oh yay! Is it because they're atheist NGOs or just happen to be atheists? Do they identify as atheists? Play the clip. It concerns grants of as much as $500,000 each. The money goes towards atheists, humanists, non-practicing and non-affiliated individuals. And the recipients are based in South Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. The GOP member's challenge is penned in a June 30th letter to President Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

2:01:07 The letter says, it is one thing for the department to be tolerant and respectful of a wide range of belief systems and to encourage governments to respect the religious freedom interests of their citizens. It is quite another for the United States government to work actively to empower atheists, humanists, non-practicing and non-affiliated in public decision making. It says the same program would be considered unconstitutional in the US. The letter's signers also want to know how the program advances the foreign policy interests of the United States. Hmm. What the hell is that all about? I don't know. It was news to me. I might want to point out that during COVID, like a quarter of France's churches were burned to the ground.

2:01:58 Yeah. Is that these NGOs? Are these NGOs getting that? Yeah, we're giving them money to burn churches. That's what we're doing. Yeah, we really need a review of this giving people money. I mean, it's out of control. As has witnessed the inflation. It's just giving away money to everybody except to the American people. Woo-hoo! It's all right, Europe you get the same, Australia you get the same. I love that it's this big protest for freedom and rights in Australia, the most locked down country of all COVID. Second only to Shanghai. Second only, maybe. Might have even topped it. A little more humane about it, possibly. But you know, throwing people into camps and stuff, come on. And you know, and that was just to get people ready.

Melbourne Sleeping Pods, Austin Rental Market, Airbnb Impact

In Melbourne, high-tech "sleeping pods" are being marketed as a solution to the rental squeeze, costing $250 per week. In Austin, Texas, rental prices for luxury apartments have skyrocketed from $2,800 in 2015 to over $4,700 today. The proliferation of short-term rentals like Airbnb is cited as a major factor in the lack of affordable housing for local workers, leading to labor shortages in service industries.

melbourne· austin· airbnb· rental crisis· housing affordability

2:02:48 Because you know... Yeah, so they're bitching about our Supreme Court. You thought the Covid camps were bad and cramped? Nah, this is where people are winding up now with, oh gee, Australia has inflation too. Cost of living pressures are forcing some Melburnians to downsize to spaces smaller than a room. The high-tech sleeping pods are the latest answer to a rental squeeze as more July the 1st relief looms. As Victoria's housing affordability crisis deepens, unique set-ups like these space shuttle pods are offering short-term solutions for renters desperately needing somewhere to sleep. I have a lot of in-betweeners. They stay here while they look for another place. The landlord says more than 80% of his pods in Abbotsford are booked out. As of today, the weekly rate is $250.

2:03:41 So these pods, they look like you're in the... like you walk into a laundrette because it's just these round circles that are the doors. They're stacked three high. Yeah, they used to have these in airports or they tried to experiment with them in airports. Oh no, no, it's smaller. I know what you're talking about. The little eco thing. The little eco pod. It's smaller than that. Wow. Even smaller and you don't have all the cool lighting. It's just like a dog kennel basically. Like one of those cat play things without the fuzzy stuff. Wow. And it was interesting, Tina and I were talking about the rental prices because our kids are all dealing with rent prices increasing like 30%.

2:04:25 And just an alark, I said, you know, let me go take a look at that. So I had the place post-divorce in downtown Austin. It was a great two-bedroom pad, it had a nice view. It was a pad. I had the stripper pole. It was a bachelor pad. It was awesome. I said it. It was a pad. Yeah, no, it's a 70s term. And it cost me at that time with garage and a storage unit $2,800 a month for I think it was... It had a view, it was up in the air. Had a great view, 1,300 square feet I think. That same apartment and I know and they've changed... $2,800 is a lot.

2:05:09 Well, that was in 2015. Yeah, it was expensive. That was an expensive place. Well, yeah, but it was half studio, half, you know, one bedroom was studio, the other one was where I lived. And it had a stripper pole, come on, what's the problem? That's worth a couple hundred bucks right there. So that was Austin in 2015. That same apartment, guess what it cost today? $2,800 then, seven years ago. What do you think it cost today? Without garage and without the storage unit. Without garage and without the storage unit? That garage is important.

2:05:47 Yeah? I would say just based on what's going on around here that would be 37 to 42. 47.5. Wow! That is a rip-off! No kidding! I mean even for two people you can't afford that. And it's just a piece of shit. We called it the penitentiary. It was literally a piece of shit as you reported when you used to live there, because it was dog poop everywhere. And it was leaky. I was sick all the time from the construction and the pollen that came in through the balcony door and everything was just leaky. You had no full-time attendant downstairs. It was crap.

2:06:33 And now 47.5. I mean, that's... And they're getting snapped up left and right. People are dumb. Or maybe... You know, you have to pay... If you're paying 47.5, that's a mortgage. No kidding. You can get a three-bedroom house and pay less than 47.5. John, we pay less in mortgage. Yeah, you got a big place. We got three acres. Three acres and a dog. Three acres and a dog. The dog comes free. And you know what? And you can... Yeah, it did come free actually. And you could zoom in from here just as easy as from downtown Austin because no one wants to go to work. That's unbelievable. And meanwhile, out here in Fredericksburg on Main Street, excuse me, there's five shops in a row all empty. And you know why?

2:07:35 They can't get people to work here who also can live here. It's unaffordable. So people would have to experience that was affordable. It was affordable just as we got in and then it ended. And then everyone started, everyone starts snapping up homes, turning them into B&Bs because that's the big business here. Why would you create a rental home when you can make an Airbnb out of it for, you know, in four days, you've got a month's rent. So now they literally cannot get people to work in stores and they're offering waitress, waiter, food server jobs, I'm sorry, almost 20 bucks an hour, 19 bucks an hour. 19 bucks an hour and you get tips.

Chinese Economic Crash, Deflation, Wales Basic Income

Financial analysts predict a potential crash in the Chinese economy by the third quarter of 2022, which could "spew deflation" globally as commodity demand drops. In Wales, a basic income pilot program has been announced, providing £1,600 per month to young people leaving the care system. The hosts discuss the inflationary risks of such programs and the historical failure of "make-work" jobs in the Soviet era.

china· deflation· renminbi· wales· universal basic income

2:10:43 I should have bought a house. You could have just bought two or three places and sold them a year later for doubling your money, all leveraged money. That would have been a bonanza. You could have just sent a check to Sir Patrick Coble. He would have taken care of everything for you. It would have been so easy. Yeah, he would have. He could have taken care of this issue. Easy money. He would have loved to do it. By the way, the way things are going, I think those $275,000, $300,000 places are going to probably go up to about $500,000, $600,000. Oh my goodness. It's just the way it is. The whole country because of this, besides the bogus inflation and the rest of it, real estate's your best bet. Well, tell me how it's going to be after this next report, which is a shorty from, uh,

2:11:20 J Capital Research. She's the co-founder, Anne Stevenson, a financial lady. So my base case for China, I think that the Chinese economy is really going to go through a crash. And I think that China is going to spew deflation into the world pretty soon, like along about third quarter this year. Why so soon and why is it going to be so contagious? Because as demand for commodities goes down, China is responsible for a huge amount of commodity consumption. And so as their demand declines, then commodity prices decline and that's an international effect. But I think the key thing is that the renminbi has got to depreciate and as the renminbi depreciates, that's what pushes deflation into the world. What do you think? Well, there's a couple of things going on.

2:12:19 There's a move right now to the Chinese to take over as the reserve currency and they can't do it if that happens. And so they manipulate the currency pretty well. And I don't see commodity prices going down from lack of demand. That's just not gonna... I don't know what she's thinking about that. I just don't see it. I don't see the Chinese thing changing that much. I mean the ghost cities are already there. They've already been accounted for the numbers are in there It's already been so you see no change you see just steady as she goes Yeah, hmm. All right. Well that makes me feel a little better. I guess

2:13:01 I don't care what happens in China necessarily, although we're so dependent on them. I guess we should care. That would be one. Well, I'd rather that all that just went away or most of it so we could figure out what we have to do here. Nothing works as motivating as not having food or medicine or pain. Yes. That would be good. But what's really happening, of course, is the opposite. Wales has now just announced their basic income pilot, which will consist of £1,600 a month to care leavers. And this is a good one. This should be enshrined in law everywhere. When the child leaves the home,

2:13:44 then the government takes over. And they start paying them 1,600 pounds a month. And you can still work and anything you make in addition to that you can keep. Don't you think every parent in the world is cheering that on? Oh yeah, I would say so. But it's just breeks of inflationary. Of course. Of course. But this is all, and of course this is just basic income. No one has universal basic income. That is what is touted as possible. Yeah, that's not gonna happen for a vote. I don't know if ever. Well, they tried that in Russia before during the Soviet era where you had all these people would make work jobs and they got you know some sort of subsistence living. Didn't work out. Yeah. I mean... All right, back to clips. Well, okay. Let me give you this clip.

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

July 4th Travel Chaos, Pilot Shortages, American Airlines

The July 4th holiday weekend saw thousands of flight cancellations and delays due to pandemic-related staffing shortages and pilot strikes. Delta pilots picketed for better pay after flying record amounts of overtime, while American Airlines suspended ticket sales from Amsterdam to the U.S. because of a lack of security staff and ground crew. The TSA reported its highest passenger volumes since the start of the pandemic.

delta airlines· american airlines· tsa· flight cancellations· amsterdam

2:14:45 This is something we knew would happen, this being one of the busiest travel weekends in the United States and globally it's all following in lockstep. This morning the July 4th holiday getaway is well underway but thousands of flight cancellations and delays mean big crowds and big frustration. They cancelled our flights an hour before we were supposed to depart. The surging number of travelers and pandemic related staffing shortages have airlines struggling to keep planes taking off. Delta pilots hitting the picket line yesterday demanding better pay and better schedules. We've now flown more overtime in the first six months of this year than we did in 2018 and 2019 combined. And in those years, those were record years for the airline industry.

2:15:30 The CEO promising passengers the airline will do better writing quote, if you've encountered delays and cancellations recently, I apologize. At American pilots are now being offered a 16% raise. Others are getting triple pay to staff regional flights. The head of the TSA says his agency is staffed for the holiday with 1000 workers on standby if needed. We had last Sunday the highest number of passengers since the pandemic. I expect that we're going to see something similar ballpark to last weekend. Airports overseas facing the same problems. In Amsterdam, American Airlines is now suspending ticket sales to the US. What? This is the same thing KLM had to do because of the lack of pilots, security staff, just people wanting to work in general. They said we're just not going to sell you any tickets because we can't even, we don't know if we can fly it.

Rwanda Deportation Plan, 50-Year Mortgages, UK Migration

The British government is moving forward with a controversial plan to deport undocumented migrants to Rwanda for processing. Meanwhile, 10 Downing Street is reportedly considering 50-year mortgages that can be passed down to children, a move critics call "generational debt." The discussion compares the Rwanda plan to historical U.S. policies under FDR that sought to end immigration crises by relocating migrants to remote areas.

rwanda· united kingdom· deportation· migration· 50-year mortgage

2:16:25 So don't even ask us for tickets. I just have to... Spend tickets to the US? Yeah. Why us specifically? Because of our problems? Well, that's a very... Well, it's American Airlines. So American Airlines flies to the US typically. I did... I forgot to mention this. 10 Downing Street. This is like, you know, saying... Number 10, that would be like saying the White House is considering 50-year mortgages that can be passed down to your kids. Oh, brother. You know, this is not the first time this has cropped up. Really? I love this idea. It never worked out. Well, no, of course not. You just saddle your kids up with debt. It's a funny idea. It's a great idea. You inherited the house, son. Along with a 50-year mortgage.

2:17:20 It's exactly the opposite of generational wealth, generational debt. It's a great way to go. You will have nothing and you will be happy. So I have one clip of Great Britain this or just part of it is from France 24. But this is about the cockamamie scheme, which is in play and going on where the British are shipping to Rwanda. The people to Rwanda. Here's the update. UK Rwanda. The British government's controversial plans to deport undocumented migrants that arrive on its shores to Rwanda have sparked widespread criticism. In Rwanda itself there are already hundreds of asylum seekers waiting for their request to be processed. Some have been there for years. Hussein Korné tells us more. For the asylum seekers who end up at the Gashora camp in southwestern Rwanda, it is all about patience.

2:18:15 More than a thousand people have come through here since 2019, when Rwanda agreed to offer shelter to refugees stuck in Libya. Residents live in small units. There's a cafeteria and a center where people can learn skills such as weaving and hairdressing. For many, it's a welcome reprieve after experiencing truly awful moments. When I was in Libya, I tried to cross the sea four times and I failed. But the people here are all waiting for governments and administrations around the world to process their asylum requests. Some have been waiting for years, making the Gashora camp increasingly feel like an open-air prison.

2:18:53 So much so that Ismail Benaga says he might just return to Libya to try to make his way across the Mediterranean once again. I submitted my case to go to Canada, but since December, authorities keep giving me different reasons for why my case has been delayed and still not approved. I see other asylum seekers here have already left Kashura, but I don't know the reason why I'm still here. The UNHCR says they have not had a single request to stay in Rwanda permanently. So far, more than 600 asylum seekers have been resettled in Canada, Finland, France and Sweden. What the report doesn't really point out is that these, you know, every day there's like 75 to 100 people arriving by boat, rubber dinghy, across the English Channel. This is who they want to immediately turn around and deport.

2:19:48 Yeah, well that's what they're doing. Yeah. It's just, there are a lot of people who don't even know where Rwanda is and they show up like, now you're going to Rwanda. Here you go, bye. Damn. So, Franklin Roosevelt did a similar thing with the immigrants coming up from Central America and Mexico during his era. He's the one, he shipped them to Yucatan or some, he had there some desolate area and they put them all on a boat. It's a very controversial, Democrats don't like talking about this, but he put them all on these ships and then shipped them to the Yucatan or someplace like that. I think you can look into it and find out where exactly, but it was so far away from everything that the word got out and that was the end of our immigration crisis during the Roosevelt administration.

2:20:46 It was the so it ended the immigration crisis? It pretty much did. Yeah, no one wanted to come Yeah, because they're gonna get shipped to this crazy place in the middle of nowhere. So it's a genius plan. Well, it worked Well, no this but the Rwanda thing is I mean of all the places. Oh, no, I think so I think Rwanda things the genius plan to yeah, it's cruel. Of course. It's probably unfair Yeah, of course. It's unfair. But man does it work? I mean, of all the places you could be shipped to. I mean, Australia, you know, that's where they used to send them to the penal colony. Now Rwanda. And like, no, even Africans will be like, no, I don't want to go to that country. Meanwhile, London has this, had the biggest, they had a gay pride parade in London. One million. Did we have a monkey pox outbreak?

London Pride Parade, Noodle Boy, Christina Aguilera

Over one million people gathered for the 50th anniversary of the Pride parade in London. The hosts discuss the increasing presence of public nudity at these events and a controversial performance by Christina Aguilera in the U.S. involving a large green prosthetic. The "Millennial Minute" segment introduces a "hot millennial assistant" to provide perspective on LGBTQ and social justice trends.

2:21:42 Not yet, but here's the here's a report revelers face paint rainbow flags and much happiness set the tone for a record-breaking pride parade in central London this Saturday More than a million people gathered to celebrate 50 years of pride March made a change the first one in 1972 with only a few hundreds marches then Surrounded by heavy police presence. Here are some reactions in the crowd 50th anniversary and in my heavens what a milestone. What a difference in society between then and now. Even just the freedom to do this when previously there would be no audience and just the police. Now look at it, the most popular event in the whole of London. Fabulous.

2:22:29 I grew up with with pride parades in the Netherlands. We have the you know, we have the big AIDS monument in Amsterdam and the pride parade was a originally a parade through the canals and you would have boats and the boats would be, you know, people dressed up and dancing and, you know, flamboyant, very flamboyant. But it was always a fun thing to watch and just see everyone kind of, but it wasn't exclusively Pride. But now, What I've noticed with these pride parades, there's a lot of nudity, which seems to be something of the past two or three years. Well, I guess skipping COVID, but the past couple of years, I mean, like just a lot of nudity. Not really. I mean, we even saw, what's her face? Christina Aguilera in the US with a dildo strapped on. This kid. That was the worst looking thing ever. It was. Yeah, it was a green dildo. It was highly inauthentic. It was a giant, you know,

2:23:32 It was huge. It was a rubber thing. It was a strap-on. Yeah, big giant, but it was huge. It was like... And it was green. It was unrealistic. This ball was bigger than a basketball. It was giving people unrealistic expectations. It was not... It was... That was... I was insulted by the expectations. Thank you very much. Anyways, it's time for the Millennial Minute. So listen, because it's super important. Okay? Wow. You like that? Millennial Minute? That's about as good as it's gonna get. She wanted to be called the hot millennial assistant. She is indeed an assistant to one of our producers and she says I want to be called the hot millennial assistant. Okay. Also known as the HMA. So let's, now that we're on this LGBTQKIPABLM plus noodle boy, let's play a few of these clips.

Paris Hilton, G7 Art Expo, Baphomet Symbolism

Paris Hilton reportedly turned down a DJing gig for President Biden at a world leader summit to attend Britney Spears' wedding. The G7 Art Expo is criticized for featuring disturbing imagery, including skulls with syringes, horns, and occult symbolism. The hosts compare the aesthetic to the Denver Airport murals and suggest that global elites are increasingly open about their affinity for "Baphomet" and "Moloch" symbolism.

paris hilton· g7 summit· baphomet· moloch· occult art

2:24:22 We start with, well even though she's not necessarily millennial, she has all the traits. Yeah, I was asked by President Biden and their team to go DJ for like that summit dinner with all the leaders of the world. But it was the same night of Britney's wedding and then I'm like no I'm not gonna miss that they're like we'll send a helicopter and you can fly back and forth and I'm like I'm not gonna be the one like Landing in and out of Britney's wedding in a helicopter like come on. So I just I had to cancel on the president Did you did you tell them why you were canceling that it was an emergency well, it was an emergency because Britney Spears Yeah It's Britney bitch. Yeah, of course

2:25:09 So the question is, what the hell were they thinking? They want to herd a DJ, the G7 summit, a bunch of stiffs and they're going to have Paris Hilton waving arms around the air and playing, you know, hip hop. What? What are they thinking? You need to go right now and look at the Art Gallery Expo that they all had their picture taken. All of these elite douchebags. So Macron and Johnson and Rutte and Ursula and all of them. Just go look, G7 Art Expo. This whole thing is filled with horns and blood and nudity and gore and devil stuff. It's almost like the Denver airport. I'm looking at this one piece that's like a sculpture of garbage. Yeah.

2:26:08 What do you see the ones with the horns the horns I've seen the horn so there's this one they're on both sides it's all the it's the group shot and in the middle is this painting it's big art piece I know it was a painting and it's clearly meant to depict a holy person probably Jesus except that you know so it has a halo but they're not Jesus no there's a skull with a syringes sticking in the skull, it's got bare breasts and it's got horns. And they're like all smiling like, yay, here we are at the G7. I mean, who... It's like Damien Hirst gone bad. It's really incredible what these people are into all kinds of crazy shit. It's like that the tunnel opening.

2:26:54 I mean these are cultist type people. Baphomet, that's what I'm looking for. Baphomet symbolism. It's all there. Moloch. Well I can't find one of the... Moloch! What? You have to send me a link to these pictures. I can use them in the newsletter. Okay. Ugh. When you see them, you won't even want to use them in the newsletter. You'll be disgusted. Well that's possible. I'm easily disgusted. They're inviting them in. Now, we do have demons on earth. And these demons usually work at companies that have been tricked into following ESG, Environmental Social Governance guidelines. No, it's the demons who create the ESG to trick the companies.

ESG Hiring Practices, Corporate Values, CNBC Report

A CNBC report highlights a shift in hiring where new graduates prioritize a company's social and environmental values over salary. Many workers now seek "allegiances with affinity organizations" and are willing to take pay cuts to work for companies that align with their political views. Business consultants warn that these ESG-driven practices may lead to corporate failure as companies prioritize activism over core business operations.

esg· cnbc· black lives matter· equity· corporate culture

2:27:37 Well, the companies are a following step and this is almost like a new Noodle Boy clip to me except it comes from CNBC, the financial network and hiring practices. Great salary, 401k match, paid time off, sounds good but that may not be enough to attract good employees anymore. As CNBC's Sharon Epperson reports tonight, more workers are considering a company's values as a reason to accept a job offer. In his recent job search, new college grad Tyrese Thomas focused on salary and benefits, but only in companies that shared his values. Innovation, impact, equity are things that are incredibly important to me. Thomas was an intern at a tech company in the summer of 2021 in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests and a raging pandemic that was changing workplace dynamics. I saw how

2:28:29 how important it was for employers to show that they have these allegiances with these affinity organizations and these individuals who are working for them. And so it's super important for me to be able to find an organization that aligns with my values. Workers are split on whether they want business leaders to speak out more on social, environmental, and political issues, including constitutional and reproductive rights. Research finds that addressing these issues can influence a company's ability to attract and retain talent. Paul Wolf advises companies on HR strategy and workforce development. The best companies are going to listen to many opinions.

2:29:07 And they're not always going to agree with you, but you want a company that's going to listen. People want to feel seen and heard, even though the company may not completely agree with them all the time. A recent survey finds more than half of US employees say they would be willing to take a pay cut to work at a company with values they agree with. 56% wouldn't even consider a job at a company that has values they disagree with. There is more of a social lens put on companies today and what they're doing about things and what they stand for. Thomas just started his first full-time job as an associate project manager at an e-commerce company. He's hoping his generation can change the way business gets done. And if we can just, you know, find and crush organizations to kind of live up

2:29:52 to these expectations, we can have significant results for ourselves, for our careers, for our peers, and really the future to come. How is this going to work out, John C. Dvorak, business consultant? Poorly. Exactly. These companies will all be out of business within five years. And these people will not have jobs. No, not especially their job. I'm taking less pay working over here because I like it better. Yeah, because I like it so much. Here's a guy who, this is an interesting little clip, this will be my last clip of the day by the way. This is a USA Journalist, the editor there got, made a tweet to that only women can give, have babies. Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, third rail, danger, danger.

USA Today Firing, David Mastio, Journalism Ethics

David Mastio, a former opinion editor at USA Today, was demoted and eventually left the company after tweeting that "only women can get pregnant." Mastio argues that the news industry has been taken over by young, liberal reporters who refuse to quote sources they disagree with. He has since launched "Straight Arrow News," an outlet funded by a billionaire to return to fact-based, non-partisan journalism.

usa today· david mastio· gannett· journalism· liberal bias

2:30:49 Yeah, he got fired. He's no longer at USA Today. The former editor at USA Today is speaking out against the politicization of today's news industry. In an interview with the Epoch Times, he said the leaders of Gannett and USA Today need to return to older values. There's a screenshot of it. David Mastio worked as an opinion editor at USA Today until March. He recently revealed that the media outlet demoted him in August last year for tweeting that only women could get pregnant. He tells the Epoch Times what he thinks has gone wrong with USA Today's journalism practices. I think what's going wrong with reporting at USA Today is that

2:31:29 We don't talk to sources that we disagree with or quote people that the reporter disagrees with. And I think it's really important in news stories to have both sides and to have people that you talk to who challenge your views. Mascio explains that USA Today and its parent company, Gannett, became increasingly liberal because the company hired young reporters to replace more experienced and expensive journalists. And these reporters fresh out of college come from an overwhelmingly liberal environment. They went one small step at a time and they found themselves with a staff that was too overwhelmingly political, too liberal, and they didn't have the spine to demand that they, that these young reporters adapt to USA Today's values. So they changed USA Today to make it

2:32:27 more like their report. The former editor says he thinks journalism and big companies like Gannett are going off the rails. People who think that journalism is about the facts and being honest with our readers need to stand up for the values that made journalism important and influential and are increasingly being abandoned by our industry. Well not only did he get fired, he'll never work again. He started up with some he started up a online news operation I can't it's called straight arrow. I think yes straight arrow and it's financed by some billionaire guy. No Who who's paying the bills? Well, isn't that exactly how news has always been in the United States where we had people

2:33:18 Yellow journalism, we had big rich people financing journalism. It was not always that way. Yeah, but the Stonies people got rich. I mean, the Hearst, for example, got rich off the journalism. So, although if you go to the beginning of Hearst, it was really a mining company, Hearst Mining, that really made all the money. George Hearst, I believe. Right, but it's always been a loss leader for companies like this. Was it Strauss family who owned the New York Times? Now it's... Now it's the Mexican guy. I don't know if it's just the Mexican guy. I thought there was... Well, no, it's the Mexican guy I think owns a third. He's a Carlos Slim. Yeah, Slim owns a part of it. And I think Arabo owns another third. And China provides the cash flow, so it's a beautiful thing. There you go. Boom! I'm gonna show my support by donating to No Agenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Yeah, on No Agenda.

Stacey Abrams, Georgia Sheriffs, New Tang Dynasty

Over 100 Georgia sheriffs have condemned gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams for her ties to the Margaret Casey Foundation, an organization that supports abolishing prisons and defunding police. While Abrams' campaign claims she supports law enforcement, her role on the foundation's board has become a central issue in her race against incumbent Brian Kemp. The report is noted as coming from New Tang Dynasty (NTD) news.

2:48:22 And I haven't played Biden since the last time you told me, no Biden! I know, that's why I put it in there, just to... I'm going to play Biden from now on. Okay, here we go. Try this one, chickens. I'm already in on that one. I don't know if this next one can top it, John. This one is gone. Full stop, it is gone. No, no, chickens. Chickens are the way to go. Chickens. Yeah, chickens are great. I love your chickens. Okay, I can play one last clip and we can leave or you can play a bunch of clips. I would like to play two. Okay, let me play my one just so we can bring us up to date on Stacey Abrams. This is from the last show. You have to look it up.

2:49:09 Stacey Abrams in Georgia election NTD. This is what where the status of Stacey Abrams, you know, she's running for governor again, even though she's already been elected. She already won, didn't she? Didn't she? Isn't she the governor? I thought she is. Yeah, she is. Here she is again. A total of 102 sheriffs in Georgia have joined Georgia Governor Brian Kemp in a statement condemning Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams over her support of what they call soft on crime policies. The state has 159 sheriffs. Thank you very much. Camp a Republican is seeking a second term. He will be competing against Abrams in the November election. The governor and the sheriff's statement reads, Stacey Abrams has repeatedly shown complete disdain for law enforcement and the risk we take every day putting our lives on the line to serve our communities.

2:49:54 Ms. Abrams actively serves on the governing board of and has profited from an anti-police organization which openly advocates for abolishing prisons and stripping local police departments of their funding. The organization they are referring to is the Margaret Casey Foundation, a Seattle-based grant-making group. Abrams became a board member of the foundation in May 2021. Less than a month later, she was one of the board members supporting the foundation's rollout of an anti-police initiative. The group has given grants to groups including the Movement for Black Lives and Louisville Community Bail Fund. The group's Twitter posts also show that it supports the abolish the police and defund the police movement. The sheriff's statement goes on to say, quote, we are grateful to have the support of Governor Kemp and his administration, and we call on Stacey Abrams to disavow the dangerous policies she supports.

2:50:41 A spokesperson for Abrams' campaign told Fox News Digital that Abrams does not support defunding the police and quote, is a longtime supporter of investing in law enforcement alongside building community trust and fostering law enforcement accountability. Where was that report from? Yeah, she zigged when she should have zagged. Yeah, where was that report from? New Tang Dynasty. You won't hear that anywhere else. Oh no, of course not. We're gonna keep that with governors, we're gonna keep it with police and with guns, and this will be my last clip. This is the unelected governor of New York, Pockel.

CHAPTER 40 / 41 Discussion

Kathy Hochul, New York Gun Laws, Cyber Pandemic

New York Governor Kathy Hochul defended new restrictive gun laws following a Supreme Court ruling on concealed carry, stating she "doesn't need data points" to justify her responsibility to protect citizens. The discussion also touches on a cyber hack affecting unemployment benefits in 40 states, which officials warn could be a precursor to a larger "cyber pandemic." The show signs off with a reminder of the mission statement and upcoming stream schedules.

kathy hochul· new york· second amendment· buffalo· cyber hack

2:51:18 She was lieutenant governor, so when Andrew Cuomo resigned, she became the default governor. And I'm sure she's running again because, well, she knows what she's doing. Now, after the Supreme Court decision regarding concealed carry in New York, The right to have a gun, she's come up with I think 10 or 13 new rules. We're just, we don't care, we're just going to do this. And here was the press conference, it was enlightening, especially with this question from a journalist. Do you have the numbers to show that it's the concealed carry permit holders? that are committing crimes because the lawful gun owner will say that you're attacking the wrong person. It's really people that are getting these guns illegally that are causing the violence, not the people going and getting the permit legally. And that's the basis for the whole Supreme Court argument. Do you have the numbers? I don't need to have numbers.

2:52:15 I don't need, I don't have to have a data point to say that this is gonna matter. All I know is I have a responsibility to the people of this state to have sensible gun safety laws and this one was not devised by the Hoekl administration. It comes out of an administration from 1908. I don't need a data point to make the case that I have a responsibility to protect the people of this state. Somebody who's going to go do a mass shooting or something like that may not go not go get a concealed carry permit. I never said there's any correlation between our solution here and the Buffalo case. In fact I signed a package of 10 laws following Buffalo that dealt with the issue the issues that were raised there. Hochul's gun laws passed after the Topps grocery store shooting in Buffalo raised the age at which a New Yorker can purchase a firearm to 21. But now the

2:53:01 there are questions about whether restricting public spaces under the new bills infringe on Second Amendment rights. What if they can't practice self-defense because of the restrictions? My point, let me give you statistics. You like numbers? I said at the outset, five people per 100,000 have died from gun violence in the state of New York. The states that have more liberal laws, you know, carry guns everywhere you want on the theory of self-protection. Their average is about 28.6%. More people are dying in those states. Wow, I'd really like to see those numbers. Do you think that's true? It seems the exact opposite. And maybe it's not states, maybe it's cities. I don't know. She's annoying. She's going to get reelected because she's an incumbent and Democrats always vote for their own if they're incumbents, always. And so she, because that's what they do. Yeah. So you go, oh, incumbent Democrat. Yep. Oh yeah. And she is a creep. Yeah. She's actually worse than Cuomo.

2:54:06 Yeah, yeah, she has a lot of creep to her that's for sure remember when she's like I am God basically when she said that I'm God now don't you remember that Vaguely, I just really cringe about her. You cringe about her, okay. And she looks cringey. I'll just leave everybody with this. And improve our preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic. The company that handles unemployment benefits for 40 different states has been cyber hacked and they will not be able to send out your checks. And there's no end in sight as to when they'll be able to do that.

2:54:46 But don't worry, let's protest Roe. That'll do it. And we'll... A poignant ending. Yes, well the reason I say it is it'll probably, the shit will hit the fan because you know we're past the first of the month and people are gonna be waiting for the checks and maybe it'll be a news story, we'll see. Because that's what we do. Look at our mission statement at noagendashow.net And stay tuned to noagendastream.com there at the Troll Room. Up next, live on the stream, Hog Story 5-Minute Limit with Fletcher, Blaney, and special guest Nick the Rat. Oh my. I mean, how can you not tune in for that?

CHAPTER 41 / 41 Discussion

Vaccine Mortality Claims, VAERS Data, Show Outro

The final segment features a montage of claims regarding vaccine mortality, suggesting that VAERS data indicates 150,000 deaths caused by the COVID-19 vaccine. Clips from various political and military figures discuss the potential for conflict in space and the need for "boots on the moon." The hosts sign off from the Texas Hill Country and Silicon Valley, promising to return for the next episode.

vaers· vaccine deaths· covid-19· space force· stellar converter

2:55:30 End of show mixes. We've got Nicholas Heron, Rolando Gonzalez and Neil Jones coming to you from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region Number 6. In the morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where it's fogged in, I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday. Happy Independence Day everybody. We'll see you on Thursday for our next show. Remember us at dvorak.org slash NA and as always, adios mofos! And such. More people died who got the vaccine than who got the placebo. In other words, the vaccine killed more people than the placebo did. But see, everybody is focused on how many lives we can save from COVID. And they're not focused on how many deaths were caused by the vaccine.

2:56:27 The vaccines have saved 10,000 lives over the course of a year. We turned this country upside down to save 10,000 lives, but we actually didn't save 10,000 lives. Because when you look at the VAERS numbers, and you look at it 12 different ways that didn't even use VAERS, you come up with at least 150,000 people who have been killed by the vaccine. Killed by the vaccine. Killed by the vaccine. So you killed 150,000 in order to maybe save 10,000 lives. And that's if the actual variant matched the vaccine, which it doesn't.

2:57:08 All of you have many different feelings about what is happening. The adults of the United States are failing the children of the United States. Some of you are very concerned. How many deadbeat dads are there? Millions? You're a perfect example of toxic masculinity. Some of you are very excited. It would be better if it was incompetence because at least we can do something about that. And they want to say that we're conspiracy theorists if we talk about it. And others are somewhere in between or waiting to see how this goes. It's alright. I feel that way too. It's all right. No more comments. We feel that way together, okay? No more comments. No more comments. No more comments. Lay it out. No more comments. No more comments. No more comments. No more comments.

2:57:55 This is not a real functioning democracy. People are innocent until alleged to be involved in some type of criminal activity. Let's not confuse the tactical with strategic. You create a weapon that mass murder. Get the hell out of humanity. I think we now understand better how little we understand. We need to stand up and speak loudly. Get angry! deprives you your dignity. The use of mass violence, the use of torture and concentration camps, filtration camps to deport people en masse. It is an emotional day, I want to acknowledge it. Someone has to be a loser, why not me? Thank you everyone.

2:58:34 I think if we ever allow ourselves to get to the point that we feel we need boots on the moon to protect some assets, to protect an American flag or an Apollo landing site, a historic landmark, we're in trouble. If Russia and China or other actors are going to seek to undermine our capabilities in space, we're going to be ready for that. I also would like for our adversaries to know what we can do. There are some things that we can do that I think would help chill their enthusiasm for aggression. I possess a stellar converter, the most powerful weapon in the universe. We do not want there to be war in space. We do not want there to be conflict. We want all of mankind to enjoy its benefits.
