About this episode

Shinzo Abe's assassination in Nara by a gunman targeting the Unification Church has ignited a global reassessment of the former Prime Minister's legacy. While the suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, cited his mother's financial ruin at the hands of the religious group, the event exposes the deep-seated tensions surrounding Abenomics and the controversial 2014 reinterpretation of Article 9. This shift toward collective self-defense remains a flashpoint in Japanese politics as the nation balances its pacifist identity with modern military expansion.

In the Netherlands, Thierry Baudet of the Forum for Democracy warns that EU Natura 2000 guidelines serve as a pretext for land expropriation to facilitate the Tri-City urban project. This European unrest mirrors the economic collapse in Sri Lanka, where a 2021 chemical fertilizer ban and high ESG scores decimated rice production. Meanwhile, Rogers Communications CEO Tony Staffieri issued a public apology for a massive Canadian network outage that critics link to BGP routing failures and the implementation of Bill C-11 censorship infrastructure. In the United States, the Biden administration negotiates a high-stakes prisoner swap involving Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA player Brittney Griner.

Public health officials are rebranding the BA.5 Omicron sub-variant as the Ninja variant, with Michael Osterholm warning of extreme transmissibility in common spaces like elevators. Infectious disease experts at UCSF report a seven percent asymptomatic test positivity rate in San Francisco as the White House pivots to marketing pediatric vaccinations through routine well visits. Amidst these health alerts, Ramesh Sunny Balwani faces a fraud conviction for his role at Theranos, and Elon Musk moves to terminate his Twitter acquisition in the Delaware Court of Chancery.

Texas Hill Country Weather, Local Heat Wave Reports

Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program with local weather reports from Fredericksburg, Texas, and Northern Silicon Valley. Fredericksburg is experiencing temperatures of 110 degrees with dry winds. The hosts discuss the historical elevation-based reasons why German settlers and Native Americans chose the location to avoid destructive rain patterns.

fredericksburg· texas hill country· fema region 6· weather· heat wave

00:00 There's nothing that gets our attention better than a smiling cow. Repeating the line 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 you just saw a 43 car train headed to China, I'm John C. DuVorak. Well while we're doing local reports uh... We're going to have 110 degrees here in Fredericksburg Texas

00:39 Today? Sounds warm, yeah. It's warm! It's hot I think they're messing with us John That's hot They're messing with us man Well it's just a dry heat Oh yeah that's what it is...it's always a dry heat It IS a dry heat Yeah and we have this really crazy wind now that goes along with it Dry wind. A very dry wind, yeah I'd say it's kind of like turning on a... You go outside you shrivel up right before your very eyes. Pretty much. Like a prune. I don't know what we're gonna do you know we never got any of the rain that everyone else got It went right around Fredericksburg, which is what Fredericksburg is designed to do or why it was chosen. So we didn't... Chosen? Yes! It was chosen by the American Indians and later by the Germans because when it rains out here I mean it's crazy and its destructive rain so this was less rain because of elevation that's the story. Ah, so it's safer

Thierry Baudet, Dutch Farmer Protests and Natura 2000

Thierry Baudet, leader of the Forum for Democracy party, explains the political motivations behind the Dutch government's nitrogen policies and the resulting farmer protests. Baudet claims the European Union's Natura 2000 guidelines are being used as a pretext to expropriate farmland for housing and mass immigration. The discussion outlines the "Tri-City" project intended to turn the Netherlands into a massive urban bedroom community.

thierry baudet· netherlands· forum for democracy· natura 2000· nitrogen policy

01:37 Well, I guess if you're an American Indian or a German in the 1800s... Yeah, he washed out. Who needs that agony? Hey wanted to start this off with-I found this fantastic interview what is it Facts Matter it's probably from who are those anti CCP guys NTD? No, not NTD. The other one. Epoch Times? Yeah yeah, Epoch Times and it's also important to do it before this thing is over because I think it will be over pretty quickly. I'm talking about the farmers in the Netherlands This is now world news and we've been talking about these protests from the farmers and what's going on in the Netherlands for if not weeks months And you know so now Tucker has found his go-to Dutch lady Have you seen her?

02:27 Why don't they just invite you on the show? Well, that would help the podcast. No kidding! Well the producers listen to the show so and she's what's her name Flaardingerbroek is her last name She's a Dutch... She's not as famous in Holland as you are Correct but she's getting pretty famous But but you know and I think she works for PragerU and you know it's very very political Okay enough said Very political. I think she's engaged or married Some guy like I want to say it would usually be the case no, but someone who's you know kind of like a Twitter YouTube type person Trolls. I'm counting on you anyway And she actually gave her pretty good report. I think I saw it on Thursday or Friday Good and entertaining Dutch accent She has very entertaining Dutch accent and obviously you cannot ignore her teller telegocity

03:25 Her tell she's pretty her telogenesis you like you haven't seen her. It's telegeneity Yeah, there you go television show title Tella tell no I have not seen all right and I haven't been watching Tucker. Oh okay? I usually fall asleep After like the first monologue then Tina's always like man did you see what he said as a well now? To roll it back in look at anyway This was a really good interview with Thierry Baudet and he is the leader of the Forum for Democracy party in the Netherlands, one of the biggest but very much in line with Geert Wilders. Very much in line with I guess it would go back to Pim Fortuyn who was assassinated in early 2000 who was on track to win and become the biggest political parties party did Of course he wasn't prime minister because he was dead

04:20 killed by a nut job animal activist who now is actually out roaming around free. Yeah, and you kill somebody in Holland you do save serve some time you get out And he really explained exactly what's going on. What happened to the pretty girl? I thought she was gonna be talking! No, who cares about the pretty girl let's get the pretty boy now He's probably late 30s early 40s very young You know he has one of these images that can easily be despised in The Netherlands because he comes across as what they would call studenticos or like a

04:57 like a, almost like a Bernie bro in college. You know what I mean? Except he has always great suit. He has the right shoes. His office has Chesterfield furniture. Are you getting the picture? Yeah. So you know, a lot of people are like, Oh that's just so evil. Not what I would think as a Bernie bro but okay. Nah we'll give it better example. I don't have a better example But not of a Bernie brother. No no no. Uncamped pants sagging. No oh no no no no no That was a wrong one. Anyway, definitely more Trump than anything else let's just put it that way so universally hated by the establishment but of course a lot of people in the Netherlands vote for him and for the party and they like him a lot So here he is explaining

05:45 the grand scheme of why this is taking place and why the Netherlands. How is it possible that in an age where everybody's talking about possibility of food shortages, of insecure supply chains? The Dutch government is pursuing this policy which will lead to even more dependency on international supply chains and thus uncertainty for the Dutch consumers The answer is that they, the people governing this country are following the script written by the EU to realize what they call a great reset. They want to make us more dependent on international supply chains. They want to weaken Dutch sovereignty and autonomy and also they want to continue mass immigration into the Netherlands and if you're going

06:40 bring more people to the Netherlands in a very small and densely populated country, you're going to need to take the land from the farmers and put houses there. That's the agenda- to turn The Netherlands into a giant city without its own means of production without its autonomy in terms of sovereignty but also in terms of food production And to make people dependent on the international rulers, the globalists who are trying to take over Now, he didn't mention it specifically but this is part of the Tri-City project which includes Rotterdam and Amsterdam and Brussels. And all the way up north in Holland Groningen and they've already mapped it out. Mapped out the highways, mapped out the bullet trains... ...and all of The Netherlands will be this massive city that will you know where people just live and exist and do whatever they're supposed to do. A giant bedroom community! Yes yeah

07:35 But with nothing else, and so all of the food...well we know where it's gonna come. It's not actually gonna come from outside. Dr. Kahneyan It's about the right size and think about the advantages by the way I'm in on this. You got this giant suburban area that is just a massive bedroom community it's monstrous And if you really need to control the people, you just open up that big dam that was built and flood them out. The offslide deck! Shut up or we flood you! So what they're using as the lever – the politicians in the Netherlands is something that dates back to 2000 a project part of these sustainable development goals which is all

08:27 you know, um agenda 21 which which is now agenda 2030 and he gives that a little attention here. I'll give you very quick update on the whole nitrogen, how it came to pass because... This is the nitrogen issue right? This is why the farmers have to leave because of the nitrogen in the soil because of their animals In 1990's The European Union introduced Natura so that's nature 2000 guidelines and that means certain areas in Europe were picked for the preservation of certain forms of vegetation. And as it happens, the Netherlands was picked to protect moss and clover and some other form of hay and other forms of vegetation that do well in relatively poor surfaces where there are not too many things for plants to eat. So nitrogen

09:28 In itself, more nitrogen oxides in the Netherlands would not be a problem for nature. It would be a problem for maintaining the specific vegetation goals that were set in the Natura 2000 guidelines and And the politicians here are unwilling to do the most simple thing that anyone protecting the Dutch national interests would do, which is write a letter to the EU. Hello, EU! We are no longer going to uphold these stupid guidelines. There's enough clover and moss elsewhere in Europe.

10:04 we are going to protect our farmers and we're going to have more trees and other forms of vegetation which would be a consequence of a bit higher level of nitrogen oxide. That would be the logical thing to do, they're not doing that they're sticking to these bureaucratic rules that 20 years ago someone said that The Netherlands had to maintain certain percentage of moss and clover and hay Indeed, the real agenda behind that is that they want to have a stick to beat the farmers with. I think they could use the same thing hey we're gonna open the dikes if you farmers don't piss off be lot easier think about it. Do the trick!

CHAPTER 03 / 41 Discussion

Sri Lanka Economic Crisis, ESG Scores and Fertilizer Bans

Sri Lanka's economic collapse is attributed to a high ESG score and a 2021 ban on chemical fertilizers that led to a 20% drop in rice production. While mainstream media focuses on protests at the presidential palace, the hosts highlight the geopolitical struggle between the U.S. and China over potential military bases on the island.

sri lanka· esg score· fertilizer ban· food shortage· military bases

10:49 I'm just reminded, as you say this is kind of a mirror image of what they did. This idea is something that...I have some thoughts on this because I had a discussion with JC who's friends with the He's one of his best friends is the amongst the ruling elite of Sri Lanka. Oh goodness, yeah lots to talk about there too and so this is just mimicking it because they were did farmers that have been screwed over by the globalists in fact I'll just move on that for a second Where was it? This it's completely based on the green agenda

11:29 Here it is. Sri Lanka has a near perfect ESG score, 98. Which is higher than Sweden... We're the highest in the world! Yep which is higher than Sweden 96 now the United States only 51 we suck Now, of course there are other things behind. There's a lot of stuff going on the 2019 bombing that hurt tourism but the biggest and main problem from this article that is in the show notes causing Sri Lanka's fall was its ban on chemical fertilizers nitrogen anybody? In April 2021 so only a year ago Over 90% of Sri Lanka's farmers had used chemical fertilizers and after the ban 85 percent experienced crop losses. After the fertilizer ban, rice production fell 20%, prices skyrocketed 50% in just six months. Sri Lanka had to import 450 million dollars worth of rice despite having been self-sufficient in grain just months earlier

12:25 The price of carrots and tomatoes rose fivefold. Tea, the nation's main export also suffered thereby undermining the nation's foreign currency and ability to purchase products from abroad." That's called getting screwed! Yeah what's left out of all these stories all of them is the fact that the United States has been angling to turn Sri Lanka into a military base Oh interesting And they're not necessarily going for it, but the Chinese are doing what they can to keep this from happening. And it's because we can't seem to get a base in India—they won't allow it and the Pakistanis just can't… I mean… They're too close to China that the Chinese would do it. But you know this would not be of best interest. Yeah, you could have this little square meter over here.

CHAPTER 04 / 41 Discussion

Globalist Agenda, Mass Migration and Land Expropriation

The discussion explores the "Great Reset" agenda aimed at breaking the connection between people and their land to facilitate transnational governance. A parallel is drawn between current Dutch land policies and the historical transformation of California's Santa Clara Valley from a "breadbasket" of orchards into a high-tech urban center.

great reset· mass migration· sovereignty· urban planning· santa clara valley

13:16 So, of course there's some other stuff going on in the background in the Netherlands of all this. It is not just to facilitate continuous immigration. There is also a perhaps spiritual or deeper thing that is looming behind this which is that farmers and in general people living on land and off land with land they have strong connection to history They are proud of their often family companies that have been in the family for several generations. And so these are not post-modern, post historical, post national people they're proud family people who have their own business who live on their own land with a connection to the history and to the nature all this country and so they form direct threats to the globalists

14:11 post-territorial, post-identitarian agenda. The real point here is the Great Reset mass migration transnational governance and that's why people have to become atomized they have to lose their connection to the land and that's why they're hitting on the farmers Sound familiar anybody? Fill in your country name here I mean it's totally what's happening in the United States It's the only way you're going to get people to eat bugs. We're so close to that and also it's the only way we can really have a continuous stream of migrants keep coming into the country? It is not stated goal in terms of part of the same government agenda, they are doing this as if it's an isolated phenomenon but it is stated

15:02 purpose, stated goal of this government to continue mass migration and also our current minister of housing has been with a camera around the country pointing at farmlands and saying this is where we're going to put people in the future. So if you put one on one together, it's very obvious that this is part of the agenda but its not that they would formally say were now expropriating farmers in order to buy housing there smart enough not to say like that loud but anyone who was clever and connects the dots

15:38 will realize that this is the plan. Yeah, yeah so the Minister of Housing's just walking around hey see that farm over there? Houses! Houses... This is pretty brazen Well this kind of what happened in Santa Clara Valley here in California. Do tell. Santa Clara Valley was probably one of the richest farmland areas and actually where I was raised it was pretty It's almost as good part of Thalameda County, Niles in particular where they grew all the Bing cherries which there is not a cherry tree left in the area. But Santa Clara Valley was just bread basket and now it's what? All houses and tech companies. And porn studios or different valley. That's San Fernando. So different valley. And I think that was probably an agricultural area too

CHAPTER 05 / 41 Discussion

Japanese Rice Protectionism, Sake Production Standards

A brief discussion covers Japan's resistance to international pressure regarding agricultural imports, specifically their refusal to import foreign rice. The hosts note that even high-quality sake produced in the United States is generally rejected by the Japanese market to protect domestic production.

japan· rice· sake· protectionism· agriculture

16:31 And it became a bedroom community. But we've got a lot of land here, it's not like Holland! Right... no exactly Well and of course this final clip By the way, the Japanese have this sort of pressure on them too. But they resist it. They like you can't even import rice to Japan. I mean we grow a lot of rice in California. We in fact we grow some of the sake rice that they use to make saké, the Japanese sake rice and it did... Japanese will not accept that they have to grow their own rice. Oh really? Yeah, they've just written. Oh you can't know in fact if we make sake here We mix some sake manufacturing that goes on the United States is world-class Forget it you can't get it into Japan hey Can I ask you a question? Is this the official pronunciation sake so I pronounced okay well I just want to know because I'm always It's also the same as the pronunciation for the same as the as the salmon when you eat sushi this sake and its refers to

17:31 There's a reason for us being called that and I will not discuss it now continue, please Jen sake all right. Oh, I'm not gonna discuss it Now this must be something very extraordinary No, it's gonna be lengthy is off topic alright final clip from Bo day here Unfortunately, he agrees with me that this probably will just end in the typical Dutch capitulation. If they set up a strike, a general strike where they won't deliver us any fish anymore They won't deliver us any meat anymore Any milk anymore They won't sell their cheeses to supermarkets anymore if they genuinely say okay This is enough stop this is our existential battle

CHAPTER 06 / 41 Discussion

Dutch Strike Pessimism, Future Urban Infrastructure

Thierry Baudet expresses pessimism regarding the Dutch farmer protests, predicting that the government will eventually break the unity of the protesters with financial offers. The hosts speculate on the future of a fully urbanized Netherlands, featuring high-speed rail and a "work from home" culture that could lead to societal shifts.

general strike· rotterdam· bullet trains· work from home· netherlands

18:13 Then in about two or three days you're going to see it in the supermarkets and people are going to be like I'm hungry. Where's my food coming from? But this can only work if the farmers and fishermen, all of the people perhaps even internationally they really form a coalition and stick to it And we would support it but I am afraid that what will happen is more like aggressive demonstrations and then the public opinion will turn against them. And that government will just top up its offers and give them a little bit more money, and some people will say...and they'll break the unity of the protesters. Some people will say well I'l take my share and i'll start something else or send my kids to college or whatever so I'm pretty pessimistic. I am pretty afraid that on one hand they will lose their public support by

19:08 demonstrating too roughly instead of simply not delivering any food anymore, going on strike and secondly that many of them will choose their short-term self interest rather than the long term interest of the nation as a whole. Yep probably true they're so beaten down do we need to revisit Sri Lanka? No, I think it just wanted to mention the US base and the fact that the Sri Lankans are resisting that because the Chinese are helping them. They want Sri Lanka part of this Belt Road It's amazing that none of this gets discussed in the M5M here

19:49 Now, instead here's a 23 second report. This is the derivative we get that's called news CBS. Massive protests broke out at the homes of the president and the prime minister of Sri Lanka. A mob stormed to the president's home breaking through security to enter the building later some took their celebration to the property's private pool. The Prime Minister's home was also mobbed and then lit on fire. The protest come amid the country's financial crisis Both the president and prime minister have now agreed to resign. Nothing about food, nothing about bases... They don't mention the fact that they forced them into this green you know these farmers and by the way their farms in Sri Lanka are all there's millions of them and they're small yeah and nobody gives a shit about what anyone is telling him to do because they've been doing something traditionally forever And so then they tell me can't use

20:42 basic fertilizers that they've been dependent on for decades. Exactly, now instead we get to... They can't grow anything! They can't even get it. They get 20% of their normal crop It's not by coincidence that you're not getting this information No instead, oh everyone is doing backflips in the presidents pool let's show a video of that Yeah, you're right. There's no cool It's not a coincidence that they won't tell you that this these policies these and the green Bullcrap yeah is not working now. We're not working its counter working but then again maybe it is working as working to achieve some other end Giant bedroom community yeah You know that you can flood

21:28 Man, imagine how easy it'll be to transport the drugs when Holland has all of those bullet trains and stuff. You know? It's pretty efficient now through the port of Rotterdam but still just think about how great it will be! And we'll have our customers right there in the giant bedroom community Yeah, I mean it's wasted and you know people are gonna all be working from home So they'll have you know there. They'll need some kind of challenge you have a because it's a new right It's a new human right is that it is if they voted on it. It was right? It's the right to work from home And you know what that's going to result in swingers. It's just gonna Be one big batch of singers a sex party all of Holland will be one big sex house with drugs

CHAPTER 07 / 41 Discussion

Rogers Communications Outage, Canadian Telecom Infrastructure

Rogers Communications CEO Tony Staffieri apologized for a massive 24-hour nationwide internet and cellular outage in Canada caused by a maintenance upgrade. The failure disrupted emergency services, travel, and debit transactions, leading to calls for a public inquiry by the CRTC into the lack of telecommunications competition in the country.

rogers communications· canada· internet outage· crtc· network failure

22:11 That's too bad man. I got to get my daughter out of there pretty quick this is bad, bad, bad So yeah a lot of interesting things happened since our last show in fact on the day itself and But really the one thing I just wanted us put a little bit of focus on is what happened in Candinavia with their internet I mean, we didn't hear much about it because oh i don't know their internet was completely down. Rogers yeah now they only have...I mean Rogers what is that at least 50 maybe 70 percent of all internet access? Canada Bell's pretty big right but I think it's about half It's big! It's big um and so it was down a real total of 24 hours you know it came up and down in certain parts but it did it was it was very serious

23:07 A Canadian report with the CEO of Rogers apologizing. He won't use the word but go look online everywhere the term is, it was a glitch! I apologize we all here at Rogers apologize for the outage. Rogers is saying sorry following a nationwide outage that left millions of customers without internet access cell phone and cable services for most of Friday. Contrary to what many thought was a cyber attack, one of the country's largest telecom networks admits it is responsible for the widespread service disruptions. We've narrowed the cause to network system failure

23:45 We had a maintenance upgrade in our core network and that caused our routers to malfunction. The malfunction affected pretty much everything Canadians use on a daily basis, emergency services travel and they were really really hooped and not able to in this busy season coming out of COVID, to make critical sales. Interac says services are back after debit and mobile banking transactions came to a halt. Rogers admits it has not fully restored services to everyone across the country as of Saturday it plans to credit customers for two days worth of service For some people that'll be enough but for other people who were inconvenienced is that 15 or 20 dollar credit really gonna cut it?

24:30 This is the second time in the last two years Rogers has had a nationwide outage and the company's president and CEO could not say for certain it will not happen again. I'm committed to make sure that we are doing everything to ensure the resiliency of our network Without a definitive plan B, the ordeal has called into question the competition –or lack thereof–in Canada with Shaw, Bell and Rogers dominating the telecommunications playing field. Competition is a good thing and it works for everyone in such an impactful way And I can only think that something like this elevates the conversation around internet service providers Given the major disruption there are now calls for public inquiry into the outage and for CRTC to investigate

CHAPTER 08 / 41 Discussion

BGP Routing Failures, Bill C-11 Censorship Theory

Network experts analyze the Rogers outage through the lens of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and DNS interception. A theory is proposed that the "maintenance upgrade" was an attempt to implement infrastructure for Bill C-11, a Canadian law aimed at monitoring and censoring live video streams to match legacy media standards.

bgp· dns· cloudflare· bill c-11· jordan peterson

25:18 Yeah, right. Okay so that's the story of course we have a dude named Ben in the BGP space Our BGP boys name been border. Yeah, I noticed that they don't tell us anything any details what router brand was Huawei gear is it Ericsson gear? Is it is it Cisco gear? What kind of gear we talking about and once you at least give us a hint So here's one of our border gateway protocol boys who deal with this very layer of the Internet which is how routes are determined

25:54 And he says, hey me and the other BGP boys have been watching this Canada mess all morning. Rogers' AS numbers are unadvertised now that's a very serious issue when your address space numbering is not being advertised you know it's basically like having a map of roads but then it's all jumbled up so you want to you know Dallas would wind up in Germany So no, he says no American press is talking about that. This is about 27% of Canada's internet down My company an unnamed multi-billion dollar insurance powerhouse where I am AVP of network operations Has about 15 offices this morning offline most of which aren't even on Rogers so this was little more widespread than just Rogers my boss and I That's just interlinking could be

26:40 My boss and I are speculating someone hit the kill switch in Canada. 9-11 and most Visa card services are down in the greater Toronto area." So then he comes back later with an update, all of our shit is finally back up here's the latest interesting tidbit we had four office locations where we saw this really weird stuff happening with DNS after general service was restored We specifically filter where we send DNS queries All of that traffic appeared to Cloudflare and FortiGuard to be intercepted, even though the head-end firewalls for those sites were clearly online otherwise passed through normal unencrypted traffic. Now this could just be Rogers getting their shit back in order and happened to bit bucket some secure DNS plain DNS and other random HTTPS sessions or it could have been man in the middle intelligence related to Bill C11

27:31 And C11 is, Jordan Peterson did a full on episode about this. This is the follow up to C10 which was the censorship law They're talking about censoring or at least monitoring all live or all video streams that originate from Canada To make sure you adhere to the same rules as The M5M As the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation And that this may be stuff to stop stuff, to block it. Maybe that's what the router upgrades are and it may not be ready for prime time or something like that! I like that theory about upgrading to this new build to be compliant. C11 Compliant. You got to be compliant and so in the process they screwed up

CHAPTER 09 / 41 Discussion

UK National Security Bill, Queen Elizabeth Health Speculation

The UK government is advancing a new bill that could see journalists and whistleblowers jailed for life for publishing leaked national security information. The hosts also speculate on the health of Queen Elizabeth and the potential transition to a King Charles administration.

united kingdom· whistleblowers· national security bill· king charles· queen elizabeth

28:32 Maybe. Oh, yeah they screwed it up big time Well if you're doing man in the middle stuff... I think there's also some guys in there that would like to throw a little monkey wrench into the works If they can oh goodness yes well goodness or not Yeah no that would be great We need more of people sabotaging stuff we gotta move this agenda forward It's not like the UK They don't need the router man-in-the-middle stuff You know they have this new bill At journalists, if they leak anything from or if they publish anything that was leaked that comes from the government. They can go to jail for life. Go to jail! Whistleblowers, journalists and publishers focusing on national security related matters may be most at risk of being prosecuted

29:27 Any person who copies, retains discloses distributes or provides access to protected information can and will be prosecuted Yeah that sounds right. Well this has to...this is very important as we come up to the Charles administration King Charles! We have to get everything in line Why are they waiting so long to announce the Queen is dead? I mean it's crazy how long she's been gone They don't want Charles hello Who's they Everyone. Well, the okay. MI6, MI5, the public, the journalists people who know Charles, foreign governments... Good point There's a couple of things I wanted to

CHAPTER 10 / 41 Discussion

Viktor Bout, Brittney Griner Prisoner Swap Negotiations

The Biden administration is reportedly considering a prisoner swap involving Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout for WNBA player Brittney Griner and former Marine Paul Whelan. The discussion critiques the "basketball player privilege" surrounding Griner's case while noting Bout's claims of U.S. entrapment and his alleged ties to Russian intelligence.

viktor bout· brittney griner· paul whelan· prisoner swap· department of justice

30:17 We do some stuff about Obby, who gets assassinated by a shotgun. A handmade shotgun. This was pretty crazy. It's kind of funny. But I wanted to get this... because we talked about this last show and I wanted to get the details back out of the way because we talked about Brittany Griner who is taking up a little too much in the news cycle But but boot this guy booed. Yeah, you see it's not not max Russian He is a Russian and if you I would recommend people go to Max boot done Max boot was his first name Can I just correct us we you and I were both talking about max boot in this context on the last show We are corrected obviously was not max boot No, but as this guy's disguise name is boot is spelled B O U T yeah And I would recommend you go to the wiki page

31:03 Yeah, well I'll tell you why. Well let's play these...I only have two clips and this is about Booten and Griner and this is a...this is um... and he is Russian, supposedly. And here is the Reiner Boot won NPR clip. Reports out of Russia indicate that the Kremlin is interested in a prisoner swap for Russian arms dealer Victor Boot. Can I just ask you? Is that something as a former ambassador that the US should consider? Well when I was the ambassador and I worked at The White House even before then, Victor Boot was in jail during that time and we heard many many offers

31:39 of trying to get him out. Remember, he's not just an arms dealer but in the Russian system he is probably linked and now I'm speculating here but if you just look at his background It sounds like he probably has connections to Russian intelligence services. And remember, the president of Russia does too Vladimir Putin so they want to get him out They've wanted to get about for a long long time it presents a problem for the United States system because He's a real criminal Who is this speaking? He said one of the ambassadors to one of the Eastern European countries during the Obama administration Okay

32:18 I hear that, I hear Boot is also connected to 9-11 in some odd way. Well he seems to be connected to everything! Okay got it But the thing is if you read his wiki page and I recommend people do that I'm trying to bring it up He uh... You find out how we got her? She's a real criminal goes on as a real criminal. You try to find the crime in there. Do you know what the crime is? No The old FBI entrapment game Really The US government arranged to sell arms to some douchebags that were on the list of you can't sell arms to these people, we'll come after you. And it was all American government agents that set this guy up and pretty much here's your push the button and the arms deal will go through, you're under arrest. Oh okay! So the Russians got really P.O'd about this

33:15 About this arrest and the fact that he's in jail because they claim that this is it was bullcrap It was entrapment of the highest order and even even in the wiki page. That explains it And it and they have never gotten anything else on the guys one of those situations where it's like Al Capone you had to get him with tax evasion because you couldn't get goods on him, and This guy seems to be that sort of person who's extremely talented as a gun arms dealer, but he was also working for the Russians it seems to me. So this... He's genuinely a genuine criminal and then Britney is not? She's a criminal! She was smuggling dope marijuana juice into Russia that's against their laws I mean what are you supposed to well the Russian law where they're useless and be you know we can smoke it in California

34:06 So this whole report really irked me from that perspective. She is a criminal in the country she's in, if you're in a country where you can't get divorced and you get divorced it's a crime! You're a criminal there! In Texas if you have more than six dildos it's a crime Is that true? Yes, believe it or not. No I know there's a bunch of stupid laws like that! Yep that's the one and if they catch you... That would be one of them And if they catch ya, you're in trouble What do they do to ya?! I don't know, I dunno if you can walk... I dunno but I dunno wanna find out You walk to the car? NO

34:45 So anyway, so I found that annoying that they would put this...I think this guy's been unjustly arrested and held for a decade or more already. And it's like okay because it was an attractive deal but he probably is a bad guy. Hey Victor what are you in for? You know arms dealing to the wrong people what do you win four seven dildos Well, I'll make it. I got something to trade. OK? So now the so that the guy I mean law enforcement has their own kind of behind the scenes way looking at stuff and say this is a bad guy he's a bad guy we're going him in jail finally got him in jail on this like corn pop piece of bad dude. Corn yeah corn pop.

35:32 So, you know we got him in jail but it was like trickery and underhanded illegal methodology which makes you a crook. But okay fine and Britney's jealous she poor girl but then I'll play part two of this in a second I just have another complaint he started listening to these reports There's now she's got with some lawyer, someone representing her wife going on about well if she was a white guy or LeBron James she'd be out by now. And I'm thinking what do you notice the kind of privilege she has? They don't mention the fact that there are two white guys

36:14 That they're trying to also get out of Russia who got arrested for one reason or another very similarly You know the kind of a like let's arrest these guys for no good reason and throw them in jail They're not getting out. They don't get any attention she has basketball player privilege that is above and beyond all this other bullcrap it's called BB PP There you go. Let's play the second half. He is a real criminal and the Department of Justice convicted him, and he is in jail for good reason. Brittany Greiner is not a real criminal so they feel very uneasy about doing those kinds of swaps that said we've done it before just earlier this year the Biden administration traded

36:57 Konstantin Yurashchenko, another Russian prisoner convicted a criminal for Trevor Reed. And back in 2010 when I was in the government, I was working at the White House at that time we swapped spies. A dozen of them that we picked up here in the United States and returned for four Russians that we wanted to get out of Russian prisons so there is precedent for these things to happen. Would freeing boot actively hurt American national security? That's a tough call. I can imagine my colleagues in the Biden administration struggling with that and having differences of opinion My personal view is it's a trade worth taking. I would add others, by the way, not just Brittany Greiner. Paul Whelan is unjustly being held. Mark Fogle is another American convicted for 14 years in prison in Russia for the same alleged crime as Brittany Greiner so I would pursue a swap to get all those Americans out but

37:53 But I think it's worth the trade. Yes, I would take the deal. I want to talk a little bit about the US response so far over the last six months. It feels like in the past few days there has been much more organized push from people in Brittany Greiner's orbit to get the U.S government to take action even though she was detained in February. The U.S did not declare Greiner wrongfully detained until May Why, in your view hasn't there been more urgency from the US government on responding to this? You know I don't want to presume that that is true. It feels that way of course to those who have loved ones in jail Oh man okay first of all The whole thing is just kind of funny against a backdrop of United States incarceration system where we have 1.5 million black men In jail for drugs

38:45 All right, let's just put that there. Second you're right this is trending it's annoying it's too much remember I got the call from Pachenik not to call but I got an email like oh we have to do a trade so this something up and its either this is the out this how we settle things in Ukraine okay now were gonna settle things and we can do swap and then were all going be friends kind of or it's to embarrass Biden and it's coming from the State Department Which is what I suspect. Well, you know how my thinking on this would be? It would be the embarrassed Biden because of the opinion that they've been trying to get Biden... I agree. Especially since he announced that he's going to run for re-election and this is going to continue until he either dies of old age or

CHAPTER 11 / 41 Discussion

Shinzo Abe Assassination, Unification Church Connection

Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated in Nara by a gunman using a handmade firearm. The suspect, Tetsuya Yamagami, reportedly targeted Abe due to the politician's family links to the Unification Church (the "Moonies"), which the suspect blamed for his mother's financial ruin.

shinzo abe· nara· tetsuya yamagami· unification church· moonies

39:41 Well, okay. So now we have something else. We had Abe in Japan and I have it on my schedule to call Uncle Don because although it's known that he was in Japan for gosh eight years or so he's never been allowed to write about it the agency won't let him it's not in his Wikipedia hmmm...I wonder what was going on in Japan probably stuff with the Bank of Japan but He may know Abe, even though he left before Abe came into power and of course he still was very active in Asia. So I hope to get some kind of lowdown

40:21 But at the same time, first of all this is called an assassination. If you are an ex-president and your shot is that not just murdered killed? Is it then also technically... No its always an assassination. Always an assassination okay yeah And is that for presidents as well as congressmen? Could be for secretaries. You could say that your Secretary of State was assassinated It's anything. Anything that is in government, generally speaking if it is an officer. So the Supreme Court justices... That's just a word you could say I mean you don't have to use the word assassination. No but I think its interesting. It has political implications. Assassination always has political implications. Yes so is this a message to Trump saying hey you can be out there endorsing people but we can get to ya anytime?

41:04 Could be. Or? But or is it just some random rando nutcase... I don't think so. Who was, well, I mean... Obviously at some point you're a rando nut case if you do this yes but was there motivation? Do you have anything? Well his motivation was supposedly his mother was invested and went completely bankrupt investing in some Abe scam, religious scam that he had done. And nobody can identify what this is but that's what the... It's the Unification Church and yeah this is interesting the Unification Church has links to The Moonies I only got this in this morning. I thought The Moonie were the unification church? Well there you go so it's the same thing

41:52 And yeah, so the guy was pissed off that his mom had given away all of her money. I guess all the family's money to the unification church And he initially wanted to kill the leader of the Unification Church. But instead, that was too difficult for some reason so he decided to go after Abe because Abe had indeed been doing this... The Korean-based church would probably be a lot more difficult as well than Korea. Abe's connection to the Unification Church goes back to his grandfather. The whole family was in this thing and I don't know anything about it. I don't know much about the Moonies

42:31 You might be able to fill us in. All I know is that whenever... It was a cult by our standards, generally speaking it's run by the Sun-Yang Moon guy who they named it after him. I mean as derisively called The Moonies and he was a religion that It's very similar. That's why I think the Chinese are so freaked out about things like Falun Gong Yeah, because these things get out of control and if they're not I remember whenever we were young and we visit Don and Meg and the cousins in DC because when we when I was very young like six or seven We lived in

43:10 in Maryland. And so we go visit them and then we'd be driving at night, and I remember so clearly my aunt and my uncle kind of almost excited to say look now you can see it the Mooney church is always lit up at night! You can see it for miles, it's the brightest thing in all of DC. It was kind of like...I don't know because of course I paid no attention to any...I didn't understand any significance of it but it was kind of like Yeah, there's that thing that's in the midst of all the stuff we're doing. If that makes any sense? I don't know what to do with this story but it is a good story. That's like most of our stories John! You can't do anything with them...it's just a good story.

43:57 It's a good story. I got some clips we can play, but I don't think we're going to get anything out of it from that perspective especially if you're gonna think it was some sort of grand conspiracy or messaging But let's go with Abidead NTD this is the basis for the next two clips Japan's former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is dead after a gunman opened fire from behind him during his speech Japan's NHK television reports that he was assassinated while on the campaign trail The 67-year old former Prime Minister was delivering a speech for a candidate's election campaign. At around 1130 AM, two shots rang out shortly after he began his speech in the western Japanese city of Nara He was airlifted to hospital and later pronounced dead five and half hours after being shot

44:42 The professor in charge of emergency medicine at the hospital says Abe bled to death from deep wounds to the heart and right side of his neck. Abe was the country's longest serving prime minister, the shooter was arrested and identified as 41 year old Tetsuya Yamagami. He was cited by NHK for telling police he was dissatisfied with Abe and wanted him dead Video from the scene shows what looks like a sawed-off shotgun lying on the ground near the alleged shooter as he is being restrained. World leaders offered condolences via Twitter. Oh, it's the way you do it by Twitter I thought that kicker at the end was that was a key Yeah they offer condolences bite with her kind of isn't that personal sad so sad

CHAPTER 12 / 41 Discussion

Abenomics Legacy, Japanese Economic Disparity

Professor Jeff Kingston discusses the economic legacy of Shinzo Abe, noting that "Abenomics" is increasingly viewed as welfare for the wealthy. The policies pressured the national pension system to invest in stocks and involved massive ETF purchases by the Bank of Japan, which critics argue accentuated societal disparities.

abenomics· bank of japan· ldp· stock market· jeff kingston

45:29 I tweeted about it. Check the box! Now here's some kind of insight from NPR, maybe or maybe not they're trying to explain some things about Obby and his he's the one who developed obinomics and all the rest which they're trying to do and he had Trump being like again it's another Trump thing Relate to it. This is great picture about Trump. This is a great picture, which I caught on Twitter Of course Do you remember at the the big summit? It was the climate change or was it like climate change whatever the hell it was Oh g7 or G 20 and there's this picture of Trump sitting down and then the other side of the table its Merkel You know leaning over with their arms, you know on the table And it's Trudeau and all these people are looking at him that he says they're with his arms folded going Yeah, whatever

46:17 Yeah, I remember that picture. It's a classic. Standing next to him is Abe with the exact same arms crossed yeah whatever! I never noticed that before Well i didn't notice it either so I have to go back and look at that picture Okay let's go with part one I'd like to also ask about... Oops wrong one Part 1 Better understand Abe's political legacy? I'm joined by Jeff Kingston He's a professor of history and Asian studies At Temple University's campus in Tokyo Professor Kingston, welcome to All Things Considered. Hello! As I mentioned Abe really reshaped Japan. At least the guy got the message hey listen we're here on NPR so when we greet you have to either do a little sexy thing or say like hello hi how are ya doing and he did his best.

47:09 Professor Kingston, welcome to All Things Considered. Hello! As I mentioned Abe really reshaped Japan's economy during his time in office so much that the term Abenomics is often used to describe the economic changes in Japan under his policies. Can you describe exactly what that means? What were Abenomics and how were his efforts kind of received by his constituents? Well, it's really interesting. Certainly Abenomics made its way into the global lexicon but I have to say that the general consensus now is that Abenomics pretty much fizzled out and the current Prime Minister last autumn when he was running to become a leader of the LDP, he was quite critical of Abenomics

47:59 He was asserting that it actually accentuated disparities in society and didn't provide a solid foundation for sustainable growth. And many people have dismissed it as welfare for the wealthy. Do you have any examples of that, of policies that he implemented that now are kind of considered just things that ended up helping the rich? Well, I think there's a perception that Abenomics was geared towards pumping up the stock market. They pressured the national pension system to invest more in stocks. The Bank of Japan made massive purchases of ETFs, exchange-traded funds and so Abenomics seemed to gain the system in favor of people who own stocks

Japanese Real Estate Bubble, 1980s Global Acquisitions

The hosts reminisce about the 1980s Japanese economic miracle, characterized by the acquisition of American landmarks like Rockefeller Center and extensive property in Hawaii. They describe how the Bank of Japan's "window guidance" forced banks to issue excessive real estate loans, eventually leading to a massive market collapse.

rockefeller center· sony· real estate bubble· hawaii· trade visits

48:44 So not many Japanese own stocks and so the people who tended to benefit most from those efforts to boost the stock market would be wealthy investors and hedge fund investors. You know, I watched a short documentary about The Bank of Japan the other day So after World War II, the bankers came in and set up the Bank of Japan and then go through a long history of stuff. At a certain point... We remember how Japan was just booming and it's like they were coming over here, they were buying CBS and Columbia. And you know Sony was huge... Well that was in the 80s? In the 80s yeah! In fact there was a number of books that came out around 1985 this all course collapsed in the late eighties

49:41 this economic Japanese miracle. And my favorite book was, I wish I could remember the title of it but it was written by one of the... It's written kind of a friend of mine who is and he wrote the book at the very peak of this whole thing and he wasn't alone and everybody was saying you probably don't remember, you do remember that? Sure! We should do everything the way that Japanese do it Yes let me explain this So in this documentary they show that what was really happening is the Bank of Japan was forcing all of the banks that were connected through, I would call it like a window advice or something to pump all kinds of money into loans for real estate. And they were telling them what their quotas were and so at certain points no one left to buy house then just give it away almost for free. So you had people on very median salaries with second and third homes

50:36 But what we saw in the US, I'll pick it up where you just left off is you saw Silicon Valley guys like Larry Ellison. Oh, I have to get into the ancient art of Japanese Zen and gotta get my katana because these guys they have them fantastic management style yet shadow management teams inside the U S corporations over like we have all the Japanese and all it was was free money into real estate You know the funny thing about that, another story in that regard is I was actually talking to John Doar one time in 1986 and he was bitching and moaning. He's always complaining. Yeah. He was bitchin' and moanin' about how

51:16 The Japanese are killing us because and the reason is because our banks won't lower interest rates to one. You gotta get the interest rate down to one! He wasn't wrong, he wasn't wrong that's exactly what was going on. But then did the thing was they went so happy they were dummies or mad happy the Japanese there bought up half of Hawaii yeah and they were and they were cleaning up on Hawaii until the until it all popped collapse well no before the pop in fact what happened was when the 747 stopped at

51:52 landing on his trip to Japan, because the Japanese are happy owning property in Hawaii because they could just pick up a flight to Japan easily. Because all the jets took to Hawaii from United States would stop and right Honolulu but then they just started skipping Honolulu because they had them longer range ride so when Jeff's oh he picked up too long range 747s of the rest of this new oldest straight to Japan without having to stop And that was the end of the property boom there, and so they lost their asses. And the best one was when they bought Rockefeller Center. Oh I remember that! I was in New York at the time it was like what?

52:31 Yeah, the Japanese are going to buy everything. That was the big fear. The Japanese bought Rockefeller Center and it was such a turkey of an operation that it was losing so much money and it continued to lose so much money that the Japanese never sold it after they bought it. They walked from it! Here you go. I'm just leaving it at the curb. I'm out of here It's yours, I remember in the in the late 70s early Not even early 80s in the Netherlands Japanese tourists man Everywhere and it was just clickety-click and there was just buses and buses and buses for them And everybody was scamming him Oh, I'll take a picture view your family but that'll cost you 50 guilders You know like oh okay? That's tradition here Okay Hi hi

53:15 And you remember they come over to visit and they do these trade visits. I remember we had think new ideas, and they'd come in first there was some like pre-like a forward operating team would come in okay you know and how about you know Pucci-san whoever's gonna come in the drain oh grand poobah director of this company and here's how you accept his business card and don't put it in your back pocket that's like putting yeah right on your head we all had all of our business cards as Japanese letters yes still have to lose and they would always come with gifts Gifts. Oh, yeah And then you feel like a shit heel and we have any gifts for you here's a t-shirt We got a hoodie you have to have good Big gifts the airports had special shops where people traveling to and from Japan That were the gift that you'd give somebody your visiting in some of the gifts I remember getting couple there was just these so it's extremely lame Yeah But do you see this airport gift? Tax free shopping It comes in a yellow bag

CHAPTER 14 / 41 Discussion

Article 9 Reinterpretation, Japanese Military Expansion

In 2014, the Abe administration reinterpreted Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution to allow for "collective self-defense." This move expanded Japan's military commitments to support the United States globally, a policy that remains controversial among the Japanese public due to the nation's long-standing pacifist identity.

article 9· japanese constitution· collective self-defense· diet· pacifism

54:21 Yeah, so yet again another great story that you can't do much with but hey you come for the news. You stay for the stories people. So anyway yeah Part two of this? I'd like to also ask about... Yeah, onward. I'd like to also ask about Abe's role with Japan's military. I know that in 2014 his administration reinterpreted a World War II era law to expand the country's defense capabilities Can you talk a little bit about how the former prime minister had an effect on Japan's military? Yes in 2014 he reinterpreted Article 9 of the Constitution that had been written by the Americans

55:03 And the idea in Article 9 was that Japan was banned from going to war and from maintaining any armed forces whatsoever. Now, the government has sidestepped that ban by arguing that it could maintain defensive forces And this then paved the way for the US-Japan defense guidelines in 2015, which greatly expanded what Japan is committed to do militarily in support of the United States anywhere in the world. And then later that same year, he passed legislation. The collective self-defense legislation that provided a legal basis for Japan to actually live up to those commitments but that legislation was deeply unpopular sparked massive protest outside the Diet

55:56 And even today, I'd say the Japanese public support for that legislation is lukewarm because the concern here is that somewhere somehow at the behest of Washington Japan's going to be dragged into some conflict. That doesn't really have a lot to do with the defense or Japan and so uh... the pacifist identity that has become embedded in the Japanese psyche is challenged by Abe asserting that Japan can no longer afford this unilateral pacifism. I think that Trump and Abe were kind of playing from the same, let me say it playbook when it comes to modern monetary theory changing the ministry of finance

CHAPTER 15 / 41 Discussion

American Airlines Pilot Glitch, Labor Negotiations

A computer glitch at American Airlines removed pilots from 12,000 flights, forcing the company to offer triple pay to restore schedules. The incident occurred amidst tense contract negotiations across the industry, where pilots are seeking better compensation and perks, such as Tumi suitcases, following government-funded COVID-19 relief.

american airlines· united airlines· pilot shortage· tumi· railroad labor act

56:44 making it more powerful versus the central bank and then still pumping up the stock market. It seems like that was very analogous what those two were doing. Well, they were doing similar things for sure especially when it comes to pumpin' up the stock market. Yeah which is how you do it. So anyway she's dead and thats the end of it. Day wrecker! Here's a story I need to follow-up on because people tune into The No Agenda Show to get information and understand what's happening in their world versus what the M5M is telling you? American Airlines is paying up for a computer glitch over the July 4th weekend. Technical problems removed pilots from more than 12,000 flights this month The airline now says it will pay the pilots triple-pay to cover those shifts Meanwhile United Airlines says the flight delays we've been seeing this summer won't be ending anytime soon The airline blames staffing shortages and the FAA's Air Traffic Control System Yeah

57:44 Of course, the You're No Agenda show has producers all over the world in every single vocation you can imagine. From our anonymous unnamed airline pilot... I'll get right to the hot news! Contract negotiations are in full tilt at all airlines including Federal Express so not just passenger airlines United was quick to put out their first contract and their management team was quick to pound their chest saying they were ensuring that pilots were taken good care of And by the way, in this TA as they call it, the Tentative Agreement. Do you know what one of the big issues was for the United Pilots? What they wanted? No A 2-me suitcase This was a negotiating point that each one got a two me suitcase So there were like getting the cream right now It's like oh let's see what we can get

58:35 So they're asking for stuff like the suitcase. Well, you know I drag around that you see yeah Yeah, so United pilots they also stayed home They got kovat money from the government You know it's like yeah, so in united world day were okay But then American came out with a contract that made united look foolish and Because of course America was like, we're not going to give them Tumi suitcases. So the United Pilots Union withdrew their tentative agreement and said they were going back to the negotiating table probably take the Tumi suitcase off Delta is idling on the sidelines waiting to see what the other two get then of course they will beat them both

59:14 While contract negotiations are in play, pilots are required by the Railroad Labor Act to fly their awarded trips. So they're doing just that and nothing more thus a lot of trips remain open with no pilots to fly them so of course the glitch last week in the trade trip system from American Airlines this is this is the big news pilots can actually trade trips with another with one another with the approval of scheduling last week something happened And all of the trips that were proffered, proffered up were essentially deleted from the pilot schedule. This means the company had to buy the trip back from each pilot essentially paying them to stay home so this sounds like sabotage to me

59:54 That sounds like sabotage to me because that software that does that has been in play for over a decade. A long time, long time Because the stewardesses were using it because I talked to them...I always go back and chat with the stewardesses Hey girls! And guys! Hey how you doing? Uh and they- I was told this is big cause I was asking about switching around They're called flight attendants now John just letting ya know Yeah whatever yeah whatever I was told, oh yeah this great software they would go on and on about we can switch with anybody anytime we want it's in real time. And as long you know nobody everyone seems to do it right and it was fabulous! It was just a matter of time for the pilots did the same thing." So American immediately recognized what had happened began placing the trips back on the pilot schedule however contractually this is illegal

1:00:44 So the union stepped in told the company they could not do this. The company with no choice offered pilots 200 and in some cases 300 percent pay to take the trips back if you wonder why your airline tickets are going up in price uh, the union stance after exhausted negotiations with American management seems to be enjoy your paid time off so um now he says probably what was happening fourth of july weekend although there were some You know, there were cancellations. It wasn't anywhere near the mayhem that might have been expected except Amsterdam Schiphol Airport which was another disaster but they don't celebrate 4th of July. He says that... Wait are you telling me they don't have fourth of July in Amsterdam? Yeah please

1:01:33 You're distracting me from my story. I'm sorry He says probably just for these negotiations they really did their best But this will spill over and this will become a problem, and we're not just talking about American Airlines but all airlines We kind of put on notice like let's do our best for this weekend So it'll probably hit within the next, he says within the next five to seven days. It's going to be a mess because that's when every that's when the dominoes start falling again because pilots are out of time there's not enough pilots getting paid to sit home now coming its its system is breaking just breaking well they broke at themselves when they pulled this stunt with the COVID vaccine Well of course and we still have man

Digital ID, ArriveCAN App, Chrystia Freeland Comments

Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland defends the ArriveCAN app as a vital part of the country's COVID-19 response, claiming it saved 70,000 lives. Meanwhile, the CDC is seeking funding to maintain vaccination proof requirements for non-citizens entering the U.S., signaling a move toward permanent digital ID infrastructure.

chrystia freeland· arrivecan· digital id· cdc· federal register

1:02:25 So now there's, one of our producers was reading the Federal Register as you do as a producer. And, you know everyone is still working on this COVID pass. It's not even called a COVID pass it's the digital ID we saw the European Union Parliament we saw them vote for it You know, yeah we don't need it but might as well just keep it around The UK hey why are you hiring people for this passport scheme that's going away? This might be handy just to have it Shut up! Don't need to ask questions We have, what is the other one here? The United States. We have still on the books requirement for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for noncitizen, nonimmigrant air passengers arriving into the United States from a foreign country. This is why my daughter's long term boyfriend cannot come along and visit

1:03:27 And so now they want to make that official and in the Federal Register, the CDC has said well we can do this. We can maintain this but we need to be compensated for 65...let me have the exact number 68,000 45,825 burden hours per year To be compensated for in order to do that and I'm sure it'll get funded They'll pay for that And then we basically have the same system worldwide. You can't get in without some proof of vaccination and in Canada,

1:04:08 They have Arrive Can, which is the app you have to use if you want to leave Canada. You have to be vaccinated if you want to arrive into Canada after being vaccinated so this app is still plaguing everybody and here's the World Economic Forum board member and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland I was asked about the Arrive Can passport scheme. Why has your government kept the Arrive Can app in place after making changes at the border? You know what, let me start by saying and you know Canadians believe in modesty and humility as a national virtue. Is that true? As a national virtue? And I think that is good thing. And certainly I don't think anyone

1:04:59 would argue that it's a problem to have political leaders who are too modest or too humble. I think people might have a problem going in the other direction, but... What the hell does that mean? Like you don't want Trump? Is that what she's saying, you don't want Trump here or something. I have no idea what she just said! She's just babbling, she's a babbling idiot. We wanna say one thing that Canadians should be quietly proud of collectively all of us together and that is how we have gotten through COVID so far there was a study published either last week or 10 days ago, that compared 11 comparable rich industrialized countries and how they did in COVID. And Canada was second from the top only Japan which is in a very different environment did better than us and to put some numbers behind that if we had had the same level of mortality in Canada that they had in the United States very very close to us

1:06:00 70,000 more Canadians would have died. Okay so this is great. Are you mean from false reporting? Is that what she's saying? Yeah. 70,000 more Canadians would have died if the Canadians managed everything the way the United States did. Thanks! Think about that for a minute. We would've lost 70,000 people our parents our grandparents This is psychological operations right here Think about that is a command, neuro-linguistic programming. Think about that! Think about it so your brain can't help but think about it... Your grandparents, your family, YOUR DOG! A thousand more Canadians would have died. Think about that for a minute we would have lost 70,000 people our parents our grandparents

1:06:47 So I think overall, yes the measures that we all endured during COVID were unpleasant and were difficult. And maybe you want to call it the COVID recession hangover that we're getting through right now is not pleasant but let's not lose sight of the fact that by and large these measures worked and they saved 70,000 people I mean, the audacity to say it saved 70 thousand people is within 30 seconds. It's bullshit of the highest degree! The Arrive Can app was one of a suite of measures that were part of this highly effective COVID response. Now, the environment today is different

1:07:31 You know, all of us are here. We're not wearing masks we're living in a reopened national economy and as we go we constantly need to look at which measures are appropriate and which are not There you go. So it's not going to answer the question of keeping it in place and digital ID, It will be a thing and the air... That is about as far away from the questions that you could get Of course! And this airport stuff is part of it You know, the Canadian Airport which one? Is it Toronto? No Maybe Ottawa Also The Netherlands Amsterdam They're all part of the known traveler digital ID KTDI

COVID-19 BA.5 Variant, Michael Osterholm Elevator Warning

Infectious disease expert Michael Osterholm warns that the new BA.5 Omicron sub-variant is so transmissible that a single elevator ride could lead to infection. The discussion also references a British Medical Journal (BMJ) analysis suggesting that COVID-19 vaccines may carry a higher risk of hospitalization than previously reported.

ba.5· omicron· michael osterholm· hospitalizations· bmj

1:08:16 This is, to me this is problem reaction solution. It's like hey it's shit at the airports, we got the infrastructure all set up! It's so easy Well since we're on COVID I have a revealing clip Okay Or revealing clips And Osterholm is back There's new vaccine money coming out I guess Yeah but he went to school now as a professor Oh, is that new? Is that new? I think it is. But there's a three one minute, one and half minute clip. One in a minute. I don't know how long they are

1:08:54 On COVID and the new BA5. Yeah, yeah baby! BA5 So let's catch up to the scene with the BA5. BA5 a sub-variant of Omicron is now dominant in the U.S., and it accounts for more than half all COVID infections. Half? Its quick rise corresponds with an increase in reinfections and hospitalizations. And Piara's Allison Aubrey joins us now with more. Hey Allison. Hi, Elsa. Good to be here. Good to have you! Okay so tell us more about BA5 like does its rise mean we're gonna go into another surge here in the US? I think we're in the midst of a silent surge at a time when most people use rapid tests it's hard to know just how many people are infected but one indicator Elsa is that hospitalizations appear to be rising slightly again and reinfections are on the rise too according to some data from New York for instance

1:09:46 Some people who were infected with Omicron in December or January are getting it again. Here's Michael Osterholm, he is an infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota. This is really a hyper transmissible virus. Whoa! Hold on a second whoa what happened to the children's vaccine program that he's running up in Dallas? I don't know but this is the children's vaccine coming up in the third clip. Oh no, i'm sorry! This is... No-no-no. I'm sorry that's wrong. I'm thinking of somebody else. You got the wrong guy? I got the wrong guy. Osterholm

1:10:24 He's never been identified as a professor that way, but okay. With one elevator ride, you could get COVID and die. A ride very well can get infected This really struck me also this idea that an elevator ride with an infected person could be enough of an exposure even for those who have been vaccinated and boosted I mean i'm one of those people who got COVID back in December so where does this leave us? What does this mean for the fall do you think? Oh wow! oh my goodness just one elevator ride you could die

1:11:16 I knew you'd appreciate that. No, way appreciated it and then she goes on about she just had it in December and she's been double boosted. I'm one of those people who got COVID! Even though I was vaxxing double-boosted but you know I'm a victim Yeah, it gets better. Oh yeah! The more curveballs this virus is from the more humble scientists like Osterholm have become it's just hard to predict but I think what is clear according to lots of the infectious disease experts I talked to you is that even as the sub variants have become even more transmissible the bottom line is that the impact of a BA5 surge or whatever variant comes next will

1:11:59 not likely be on the scale of last winter. We will be able to manage better." I talked with Anna Durbin, a physician at Johns Hopkins about this she said we're already seeing this the combination of prior infections vaccinations is protective she points out hospitalizations are up but only slightly and there are more tools to treat people who do get sick Most people have some underlying immunity that is helpful in fighting the virus. We have antivirals and I think because of that we're not seeing a rise in deaths, and that's very reassuring. That tells me that this virus even BA5 is no so divergent that it is escaping all arms of immune system. By the way, that's total bullshit but I'll wait until we play the last clip

1:12:45 Well the last one talks about tell me where it's total bullshit what you were gonna say. Oh there's a, now it's pre-print still but it will be for the New England Journal of Medicine I'm sorry British Medical Journal The Lancet? Not The Lancet BMJ COVID vaccines more likely to put you in hospital than keep you out. BMJ editors analysis of Pfizer and Moderna trial data finds." That's gonna be squashed. Well, that's why we need to talk about it and have it in the show notes So I'm just saying that's bullshit. She just said you more like all they say everything they say is bullshit But here comes the here comes the whopper Because no one's talking about what they're gonna talk about It's a little spot of information that will not get to the mainstream. I don't even know why they brought it up here but when it comes up, you'll know and

1:13:38 She says as more children are vaccinated and new boosters come online to specifically target Omicron, which could happen around September. This will be helpful about children. It has been what three weeks since very young Children were talking between six months old and five years old they've been eligible to get COVID vaccine so have parents actually been getting their little children vaccinated the past three weeks? So far only about 1% of the roughly 20 million kids in this age group have gotten their first shot. The CDC just released first numbers last night, it was 267 thousand children my first reaction to that was wow after hearing from so many parents were so eager it was quite low it seemed. The only parents you heard who were eager on NPR are hand selected ladies.

Pediatric COVID-19 Vaccination, White House "Well Visits"

The White House COVID response team reports that only 1% of children under five have received a vaccine since becoming eligible. Dr. Cameron Webb suggests that the administration will market the shots through "well visits" to pediatricians to increase uptake among hesitant parents.

1:12:45 Well the last one talks about tell me where it's total bullshit what you were gonna say. Oh there's a, now it's pre-print still but it will be for the New England Journal of Medicine I'm sorry British Medical Journal The Lancet? Not The Lancet BMJ COVID vaccines more likely to put you in hospital than keep you out. BMJ editors analysis of Pfizer and Moderna trial data finds." That's gonna be squashed.

The only parents you heard who were eager on NPR are hand selected ladies.

1:14:28 I spoke to Dr. Cameron Webb, he's a senior advisor on the White House COVID response team He says the expectation is that many parents will ultimately opt for vaccines during well visits. Well visits? Yeah, well visits. Oh goodness! You take your kid in routinely they do this and all for everybody now. It's the marketing. Go in there just for no good reason so we could gouge the US government's all the programs and insurance companies so they can raise their rates it's a well visit what we heard from parents is that they wanted to get their kids vaccinated overwhelmingly in their pediatricians offices and nearly half said they wanted to do it during a regularly scheduled visit. And so you're going to continue to see a steady stream of parents with kids under five getting their kids vaccinated in the weeks and months to come." I don't think so! Wow, NPR's getting creative like that

CHAPTER 19 / 41 Discussion

UCSF Test Positivity, Fall Booster Projections

Dr. Bob Wachter of UCSF notes that asymptomatic test positivity in San Francisco has risen to 7%, meaning there is a high probability of COVID-19 exposure in public settings. The hosts discuss the upcoming fall boosters, which are expected to target the BA.4 and BA.5 variants, though experts admit they may not provide "superpowers" against infection.

ucsf· dr. bob wachter· boosters· test positivity· masks

1:15:25 Alright, I have a couple of clips to back this up because really if we just put it into NPR terms. It's crazy! You can't get bubbly enough. Well that's true It's so contagious. I mean, elevators... everyone is infectious! There's COVID everywhere!! Here's the number i like to use at my place at UCSF This is Dr Bob Watcher from UCSF He's from the hospital there at University of Southern Carolina Southern California Yeah, Florida or San Francisco? No, San Francisco. Yes in San Francisco we test everybody who's here for anything so you come in for a hernia surgery open heart surgery or colonoscopy we're going to test you have no symptoms of COVID that number the prop the the test positivity rate of people who have no symptoms of COVID

1:16:18 At the lowest point of the pandemic pre Delta was 0.2%. One in 500 people would test positive today at 7%, one in about 16 people. So if you are, say you're boarding an airplane with let's say 50 people on it there's about a 99% chance that somebody on that airplane has COVID. You know, in a restaurant 20 or 30 people around you It's 90-ish percent, 90 to 95. You're eating it! You're eating COVID? There is a lot of COVID around and because this variant is more infectious than the last one and the last was more infectious than the one before it if you're not being careful there's a pretty decent chance that you can get it And even if you're vaccinated because you know I'm gonna get it

1:17:04 COVID everywhere. And double boosted! But will the new vaccinations work? Will they work, Dr Bob? Are you optimistic about a booster shot coming in the fall that might target BA4 and BA5? I'm optimistic that there will be a booster shot in the fall that is a combo of the original virus because we don't want to lose that and a vaccine booster targeted against some version of Omicron. They're working really hard on one against BA-4 or 5 because the one they worked on two months ago, against the original Omicron doesn't have as much effect against BA-4 or 5 as we hope. I'm hopeful that they'll have it. I'm hopeful that it will work better and last longer not that hopeful that it's going to be magic

1:17:44 and all of a sudden give you immunity superpowers against BA45. The reason to get it is sort of the reason why you get a booster today. What doctor? Do you think that's in the medical literature, that a certain type of vaccination can give you super powers? Not that hopeful that its going to be magic and all of a sudden give you immunity superpowers against BA-4, 5. The reason to get it is sort of the reason why you get a booster today. I still think people are going to be vulnerable to infection but the main reason that you want to be boosted against the virus that you're likely to be exposed to is to prevent severe infection hospitalization

1:18:22 And debt, the thing I guess i'm most worried about is okay BA-4 or 5 is now coming into our world let's figure out a booster against it by the time we figure it out. It may be that the virus that we're being exposed to in October November is a new one that hasn't even doesn't exist yet oh it's just a never ending stream! We need more money pumping in see let me think wasn't even...we even talked about this a decade ago There's no vaccine for coronaviruses. Nope, it's same as the common cold That's why there's never been a vaccine for it's a coronavirus for this very reason What's changed? Nothing's changed viruses these vaccines don't work Let's go to New York 1010 wins dr.. J varma

1:19:04 And you'll hear a gaffe right at the beginning of this, so I might as well get it out of the way. When you say that vaccine outsmarts us is it outsmarting the vaccines though? I mean come on lady What you meant to say is the virus is outsmarting the vaccine. So that goes in the pile? That goes in the pile and the gaffes... When you say, the vaccine outsmart us, it isn't outsmarting the vaccines though I mean a lot of people are saying, geez should I get the booster or should I get the second booster they're afraid that in the fall we might need a different kind of vaccine to outsmart the latest variant

1:19:45 Yeah, I mean basically what you're summarizing is the strategy that we have left to us as scientists which is that first of all I really want to emphasize something. Getting repeated doses of the vaccine does not cause any harm there are many vaccines like the flu vaccine and many others that you need to get boosted with regularly That guy he'll be sued for killing people I'll tell you this, what he's saying there is untrue. Every time you get a flu shot it- You're not getting boosted! No! You're getting a different shot! Yep So that's just a lie. No, really? So the problem is that COVID don't sell no more. No one's interested and no one wants to hear it now of course people are still incredibly scared and you know they're not going out... But woman in that clip at the very beginning she was she had a nervous sounded like she was she was and there were people out there that are literally shaking in their boots yes

1:20:48 And when they bring it up, oh my god. We saw it out here at the 4th of July parade in Fredericksburg You could identify the Democrats clearly They had their little float and they all had their masks on On the float? Sure! They were on the float Yeah It doesn't matter If they want to do that thats fine I'm actually happy thats going on because I don't want them sneezing on me But that's not good enough for television. We have to come up with new stuff, we are a fear-based and trauma based, a trauma entertainment based society nothing plays unless it's really really cute like a dog on TikTok doing something cute or unless it freaks you out so let's just run through a couple of

Brain-Eating Amoebas, Marburg Virus, Monkeypox Outbreak

The WHO expresses concern over the global spread of monkeypox, with Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus planning to reconvene the emergency committee. Other health threats in the news include a rare brain-eating amoeba case in Missouri and the first recorded cases of Marburg virus in Ghana.

marburg virus· brain-eating amoeba· monkeypox· who· tedros adhanom ghebreyesus

1:21:36 possibilities that are in the news. An extremely rare brain infection has been found in a Missouri resident it's caused by what is commonly known as a brain eating amoeba and its almost always deadly this is the first confirmed case in the state in 35 years, the patient is in the ICU someone can get infected by inhaling contaminated water It's often found in warm fresh water like lakes rivers and ponds The Missouri Department of Health is not reporting where the person was exposed Okay, so we've got that. We've got the brain-eating amoeba always fun for a little you know A little off color report in the news but Ghana has reported its first ever cases of the Marburg virus Yeah, this is a good one Marburg virus. Marburg is a version of Ebola yeah It's a hemorrhagic disease and you basically poop yourself to death You poop out just blood

1:22:29 blood. Just ain't guts and it's just horrible, so you know of course we know that Bill Gates does have a vaccine in the works for Marburg but I don't think that's where they're going its seeing oh and the Netherlands they come they do this a lot to come back with the Q fever? Have you ever heard of Q fever? That's another good one there is another Evergreen yes its Coxiella Burnetti, I think? It's a bacterial disease. So the Netherlands keeps trying that one but clearly... Clearly we're still- it's on the down low! It only gays people so don't worry about it! It's just monkeypox Here is Professor Dr Tedros. I continue to be concerned by the scale and spread of the virus

1:23:21 Across the world, there has now been more than 6,000 cases recorded in 58 countries. Testing remains a challenge and it's highly probable that there are significant number of cases not being picked up Europe is the current epicenter of the outbreak, recording more than 80% of cases globally. In Africa cases are appearing in countries not previously affected and... By the way, it's all edited this is an official WHO promo video Why would they put a bunch of dramatic music in it?

1:23:59 What are they trying to do? I'd like to know. Let me think, what could that be... Could it be to enhance the trauma? You know, add a little feel to it? I mean shit! It's total stock crap music but they have the right idea. Cases are appearing in countries not previously affected and record numbers are being recorded in places which have previous experience with monkeypox My teams are following the data closely. I plan to reconvene the emergency committee so they are updated on the current epidemiology and evolution of the outbreak, and implementation of countermeasures.

1:24:36 I will bring them together during the week of 18th July or sooner if needed. WHO is working with countries and vaccine manufacturers to coordinate the sharing of vaccines which are currently scarce and need to be accessible for most at-risk people, with civil society and LGBTIQ plus community, especially to break the stigma around the virus and spread information so people can protect themselves. Now you hear what he says there? To break the stigma around the protests they have totally linked this to gay men or gay and bisexual men who apparently are the ones who get monkey pox only have sex with men even though they're bisexual that's whats going on! And it's travesty

The L's are next, the lesbians are next they're nothing but TERFs trans-exclusionary radical females...the world is supposed to be transformative with just trans people It's sick but that's clearly what's going on Well it looks like it for sure Meanwhile 57 thousand National Guard reserves have been basically sent home without pay because they're unvaccinated That's safe I think that's about all of... Oh, I just wanted to mention that... What is the face of this guy? His name. Ramesh Sunny Balwani he was the

1:26:09 He was the Theranos president. Wasn't he also Holmes' boyfriend? I think he was the CEO, either CFO or CEO...He wasn't a CEO, I think she was. Yeah of course he handled the money so he's guilty on all 12 fraud counts And he could go away for a long time. Just to remind everybody, the FDA approved that you know the FDA said oh yeah this is good You won't see any FDA people going to jail for approving a totally bogus system That was kind of easily provable when if you read all the books and have seen all the Netflix specials That's the same people who approved this for your kid Which no one seems to want to take strangely enough

1:26:58 But Yahoo News takes the cake with the headline of the day, The new Ninja COVID variant is the most dangerous one yet. Thank God! Ninja John they're literally... Yeah I get it. They have to go to ninja which does now which implicates Japan it's kind of racist and if you can't say... Kind of? That is totally racist If you can't say Wuhan then I don't think you can say ninja that sounds wrong And let's go to the Red Book, shall we? Before we take our break.

Elon Musk Twitter Termination, Delaware Court of Chancery

Elon Musk officially moved to terminate his $44 billion deal to purchase Twitter, citing the company's failure to provide accurate data on spam and bot accounts. Twitter's board, led by Brett Taylor, has vowed to sue in the Delaware Court of Chancery to force the completion of the merger.

1:28:29 But Musk says that number may not be accurate and says the statements are either false or materially misleading. Legal experts say this is going to be an elongated, somewhat painful court battle. And for Musk there is a breakup fee of $1 billion minimum. The price for Elon Musk to walk away one point worth noting though is that the court could actually force must in certain circumstances to buy the company that's why there is going to be a lot of legal wranglings. We'll have to watch and see how it all plays out. He has plenty lawyers to keep him from paying the billion. There is no way this can happen but I will say, I'm gonna stop you!

Elon Musk's History, Tesla, Crypto Meltdown

The hosts analyze Elon Musk's career, from the early days of Tesla and the Roadster to his recent influence on the cryptocurrency market. They characterize Musk as an "agent of change" for governments who uses his platforms to push agendas like the Green New Deal and digital verification, while questioning his personal eccentricities and business model.

elon musk· tesla· sequoia capital· bitcoin· esg

1:29:14 You called it. You're in the red book with a check mark next to your name The only person in the world who made this outrageous prediction at the time It seemed logical to me that he you know could buy for various reasons I saw opportunity and but you said from the get-go, there's very good go I said he's going to destroy Twitter He's and that was his goal Yes. Yes That's what you said any or so far You're about 99% there. So you also put in the newsletter, you know the reasoning for this is unclear. That's the reason now we're talking about so I want to know your reasoning for coming up with this prognostication? I have been following Elon Musk for awhile. I met him back in the pod show days at an event

1:30:11 Sequoia, who was the big guy behind Sequoia Capital? His name evades me for a second. I lost track Well he is now number two or he's moved back a little bit in Sequoia and Rulof Bota another South African is now the CEO of Sequoia Capital so it wasn't just Sequoia because Sequoia and Kleiner Perkins we had investment from both of them were kind of working together and Elon was heralded as as just this magical, I mean you can barely even come in his orbit he's so phenomenal. And I met the guy and it was like a quiet, didn't say much kind of like a doofus then Ray Lane... sorry?

1:30:56 Yeah. But he had this, now remember this isn't the time when Kleiner Perkins has set up the Green Investment Fund or something like that they had and it was massive... All investors took a bath. Oh yeah of course but this was part of that scheme And this is part where Gore was always hanging out there Oh yeah, absolutely. Gore of course still involved with Kleiner Perkins and Bono U2's green investment bullcrap so it was to such a degree that Ray Lane who was kind of our main partner at Kleiner Perkins he asked me and Bloom and I think Marta as well to fly on his jet which is

1:31:44 I think it was an Embraer. This is like a 15-person jet, here we are three people flying from San Francisco to Los Angeles where they had the launch of the Tesla in a hangar and you know you couldn't drive it yourself but you could wait in line and then you'd sit in there... Was that the little Tesla? Yeah that was the Roadster which was basically What was the name of that car? It's a Lotus. Yeah, it was the Lotus body and they had the battery in there now you weren't allowed to drive yourself no driving through this Through this hangar and of course, you know The great thing was the acceleration was out of control and had a big light board up In the hanger and it showed everyone who would just put money down to buy one And what number they were so this was a total like look at my dick I got two of them

1:32:35 Now of course Elon, so here's where I come from. So that experience and my generally conspiratorial non-trusting attitude towards the world...I said this guy is not Tony Stark alright? Everyone's pretending he's Tony Stark magically! He's a South African with a momager okay his mom is his manager. He did not invent PayPal he basically sold his domain name For the X company or whatever and they hated him, and they were and they got rid of him because he's probably not a really cool dude So then with his Sequoia guys and with Kleiner Perkins, they bought Tesla. That history has been almost washed. And single-handedly Elon Musk has brought to much applause from the tech community and tech boys and girls, has brought us into the era of loss of freedom with electric vehicles totally part of the Green New Deal

1:33:32 There's no infrastructure for this. He pushed everyone, it became the hot new thing. It was like oh Tesla, who could ever touch that? There are a million of these cars and at the same time... Time code! The grid is going to go down you know none of this stuff is gonna work so okay fine thank you Elon and then Then he's, oh Bitcoin. Bitcoin is great! We're accepting Bitcoin for Tesla. And then the ESG bullshit came in and it was time for him to start the meltdown. Oh we're not going to accept him on Bitcoin until we figure out how we can fix them... Fix the proof of work and it's bad for the earth. I think even though an unintended consequence possibly certainly with his love of Dogecoin

1:34:19 He kind of kick-started the crypto winter and what I think is great is this complete meltdown and all the shit coins that are all going bankrupt. And you can finally see where the scam is, and obviously Bitcoin still kinda stands out there but he... ...is the one that decided to tip the scales it was right before we went on Saturday Night Live so he's a destroyer. He's a destroyer of freedom, a destroyer of autonomy, a destroyer. I mean my personal beliefs of Bitcoin but he destroyed and certainly destroyed the momentum so when he came in with Twitter it was obvious

1:34:58 transform them, which he said I need to have... everyone needs to be verified. Everybody has to have a checkmark or have your driver's license will know who you are that way we keep the... Which is generally good idea if you want to look at it that way is like hey! You can say whatever you want but if you slander someone etc there'll be no handles here you'll be this guy and someone come and beat you up then you'll have to deal with Which in essence destroys Twitter. All the fun will be gone! So either transform it, and if you can't transform it destroy it

1:35:36 And him starting out on the bots, and I've read his letter to the... I've read his letter which includes accusations that Twitter lied in documents that are of course are relevant at the SEC level for investors about the percentage of bots and non-human accounts. They say it's 5% or less he says you can't identify it, you lied about it so Maybe, I mean what is going to happen and it's interesting because I even heard Kara Swisher. She said oh you know this is all bullshit there's no this it's definitely 5% This is crap these people are now protecting Silicon Valley business model because advertisers they may not be saying that then it's not gonna be published easily but they're all sitting around going wait a minute

1:36:25 What if it's 50 Elon Musk says significantly more what if its 10 15 20 25 percent? What am I paying for and this will this will bleed over to Facebook and to Google, and I think That as an agent of change he works for governments. He gets paid by governments That's where Tesla gets all their money he might Build it himself after destroying this he might I don't know. I also think there's a little bit more going on with Twitter as I reviewed the numbers How can a company that has been in business for 15 years? In the last quarter they did 1 point 2 billion dollars worth of revenue at a cost of one point 32 What kind of company is this why would he even be interested in that and

1:37:18 I mean, after 15 years they're still losing money at that level.

Episode 1466 Artwork, Georgia Guidestones Hoax

The hosts credit Sir Paul Couture for the episode 1466 artwork featuring a "smiling cow" and a Molotov cocktail. They also debunk a viral video claiming the Georgia Guidestones were still standing, which turned out to be a mislabeled livestream from 2018.

sir paul couture· georgia guidestones· artwork· newsletter· nick the rat

1:40:45 the artist for episode 1466 and I believe this was a two in a row for Sir Paul Couture. Yes it was! And that was unexpected, we haven't heard from Sir Paul in so long. This probably has something to do with the time change? Time change exactly exactly and he had this adorable cow with a milk bottle on fire, little windmill in the background. Yeah it was a Molotov cocktail milk bottle. Oh yeah there you go Molotov cocktail with the Dutch flag look kind of looking more like the French flag color wise I mean it is red white and blue. The gray in the middle he probably did that for aesthetic reasons. Yeah that makes sense

1:41:35 We just loved it. We thought we thought it was good. We know it's cute and there's nothing that gets our attention better than a smiling cow. True, nailed the fact everybody loves to see us smiling cow for sure let's see what else are we looking at? A lot of people came in with nut sap nut juice regarding the almonds which I think you have a follow-up for later on yeah I do I did some research too What else was in here a lot of Georgia Guidestones? It's like man. Oh, I Got an email from one of our producers. It's like dude the Georgia Guidestones are still there Look at this video We've been we've been we've been we've been snookered click on the link and there's a guy showing The Georgia Guidestones you know uploaded today

1:42:31 Of course, it says right there in huge letters, live stream from 2018. I'm like dude what are you sending me? He said oh sorry man i was really high People do not send emails to us when you're really high! No This is not good You got to keep your producer hat on and straight at all times Yeah makes us do extra work that we don't need to do It was three clicks I'm telling ya hated it Ugh well it's three clicks but there was time in between The Ukraine meat grinder was kind of cute, although somewhat... It's maudlin. It's not just grotesque! Yeah some bojo stuff we're not big fans of putting political figures in the artwork in general I mean of course there are exceptions We've done it yeah okay well and but we don't like doing it you're right That was kind of it there wasn't much else was there? There is this one where they did this spook

1:43:30 did these pieces that had Bojo and the Georgia... Guidestones. ...monument there, and I did that! And he—what do you mean? Did you know he didn't?! Yeah, it was like a mash-up of Biden on the gas pump. Is this something I'm not getting? It was weird. So Sir Paul Couture thank you very much for bringing us that artwork for episode 1466. You can follow along live, noagendaartgenerator.com and we already have art for this episode incoming I won't spoil it so you can just sit there and hit refresh. I put on the newsletter some art from episode 500 a submission for episode 500 from Nick the Rat. Ooh what was it? It was just some dark monochromatic

1:44:21 Nick the Rats. Nick the Rats, yes it's some reference to one of those old movies Love the Bomb or one of those. Gotcha! It was just a nice piece... Of course you do it to color coordinate them art with the headline colors and other colors that I use You're colorist.

Executive Producer Contributions, Russian Life Reports

A series of high-value donations leads to new knighthoods and dameships. One producer, Mark, provides a report from Russia, noting that while imported goods have tripled in price, local products remain affordable and there are no empty shelves, contrasting with Western media narratives.

1:45:06 Man, there's something new there. Oh that's funny what could this be? It works it works just like the newsletter these are all things that are part of the value for value system The Value For Value model that we've been using for almost 15 years now October 26th is coming up And a part of that is the trifecta time talent treasure and we want to thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1467. But he, his notice is short and sweet this contribution is from Sir Anonimo of Sarcasmo Island 111.11 ITM to you and John and Adam looking forward to Adams continued efforts to convince you have the upcoming great reset

1:45:47 That'll going on forever. Thanks for all the work you do no jingles. Oh, we love that Thank you very much sir it was a sir anonymous from what on Anonymous anonymous from Sarcasmo Island so I guess you can put that on there sarcasmo island Which is anywhere in Florida pretty much but Santa Sanibel Island? That's the one that's the spook island Yes, I know. Sanibel Island...I looked into that by the way. Yeah is it a spook island or not? Is it not a spook Island? Totally That's funny. I had another one, I don't remember the name of this island but Horowitz mentioned it on the show. Captiva? Because he went out to Bahamas in somebody's yacht they took him out to Bahamas and they were having this big... And he was there with the CEO of Goldman Sachs who also DJed He sent me a picture like this is a great weekend and i was like you know what it reminds me of? The Esther Dyson conference

1:46:49 Well, it didn't remind me of that necessarily. No with the band? With the band like always you have a bunch of bands and a bunch of VC guys... But the point is he mentioned an island that this guy's got a house on and all these other characters you've heard him Jamie Dimon has got a place there and then I can't get on the you can even get on the Island without a permit Wow That has to be signed off by all the residents. So the guy has his own DJ set there? He's got his own DJ set there, all setup on the island? The party was not at that private island. That party was an adjacent Island Yeah he had a DJ set up I guess. He DJs a lot this guy they had a Goldman Sachs that makes you wonder as a hobby It's like golf instead of golfing your DJ Yo yo yo

1:47:44 Hey, let's drop some E! Hey Horowitz got any E? All right. So no jingles no karma perfect thank you very much sir un-sir anonymal anonymo of Sir Cosmo Island Don Morata is in Cupertino California 8008.85 which is a boobs massive boobs Hey, after donating enough to be knighted during today's show and second-guessing my choice of jingles earlier... Don was very interesting with his notes. He sent about 18 notes. About 50 notes! Even this morning last minute stuff. I mean he might check your email he might have updated us. I realized i couldn't do it all alone a knight must have his dame by his side so Audra Matthews angel you're coming to the round table with me grab her by the hair

1:48:38 Be sure to wear something that shows off your scorching hot milf bod with lots of cleavage. Oh my goodness, okay! The Duke of Luna will love it. John you're free to enjoy the view as well." Holy crap this is a misogynist donation. Yikes When she started listening two plus years ago Adam you were her favorite but she's now a card-carrying member of the John C fan club hearing John's voice is like Spanish fly for her Really? For anybody who knows what that still is. Hey Audra. Oh goodness, I often have to pause the show when we listen together otherwise she distracts me too much from the great media deconstruction when she's on the attack like a cougar hunting her willing and eager prey You know what they say about couples that no agenda together Audra? I'm looking forward to no agenda-ing with you right after this donation and for the rest of our lives

1:49:32 Even if it means returning to rerun should the boys ever find an exit strategy. She'd love Lego and white Russians at the round table, And I'd love another dose of R2-D2 relationship karma Love you most! And she will be Dame Audra of Legoland... ...and these are his requested jingles. That's one mother I liked off You've got karma Leggo and I will mention that he came in with two donations another $500 when they'll probably show up on the next spreadsheet because it came in after midnight. Ah, I see I'm going to him PayPal wouldn't accept a was gonna be a thousand or something or whatever

1:50:31 And PayPal wouldn't take it, but they would take the 800 and a 500. So... Fine! Well we're happy. Thank you very much Don. Yes Don. Cole Hills next he's in Redmond Oregon at $800.85 Now what are these 880 fives? We got a bunch of those. Boobs! It's boobs John! Boobs! Oh boobs plural. Hello?! Okay okay okay Uh, treasure for your time and talent. This pushes me into knighthood and so I would like to be named Sir Goose the Silly requesting a short I Got Ants and John's Hot Pockets That's it? That was easy. I got ants. I got ants. Hot pockets!

1:51:29 All right, Roderick Pow in Malung Sweden. Boobs as well 800 85 first-time donation showing off my boobs very nice Using all this attention hey please look at my face I would love for all your lovely listeners to consider donating at donor C comm D-o-n-o-r-s-e-e dot com. The creator was murdered, his death should not go in vain." Oh yeah! This was a... we didn't say much about it There's this guy who I guess adored and he set up a non profit and then he got murdered in his house In... I want to say it was Illinois?

1:52:11 I don't know anything about this. Yeah, hold on a second It's worth it's worth the mention because it's like one of those stories that we just didn't get to because you know time Let me see let me see donor C Yeah That was then that was the name of Of his charity donor C and was apparently quite successful I guess the website is kind of overloaded now so oh here We go what was his name? Grette Glyer You ever heard of him? No. Yeah, just before his passing...his murder, Gret wrote about the launch of the DonorSea Humanity Fund a rolling fund that gets money directly to the poorest 10% of the world I think it had a lot of corporate sponsors involved in this as well i'm not sure I don't know we should look into it A lot of people sending links about this so I just don't know enough about the guy Mark's up $500 from uh Wait a minute hold on did I finish that yes I'm sorry Yes go ahead

1:53:15 Mark's up is in Kirkenwald, uh... Holland. Three hun- uh, five hundred dollars? I don't get it. Please take this money for all the hard work that you do! I'd like this donation to be credited to our cat! Sir Yuri Meows. Oh sir Yuri meows a lot. To send him on his way to baronet status. Consider it done. I dunno he's on the list. Well he is now! After moving from the Netherlands to Russia, 1.5 years ago to be exact we're now settling in a house with a modest piece of land imagining my surprise finding out that the house has two actual toilets Oh no! Wow Russians indoor toilets they hate them To keep it that way we asked friends and family to check their

1:54:05 Kalishnikov's at the door in case one of them gets an urge to shoot a toilet. So far so good! Thanks to my mother-in-law, we have a thriving vegetable garden and will soon be adding some chickens for fresh eggs I'm amazed how many Russians grow and forage their own food keep their own animals that are generally well stocked for the winter this is especially important right now Prices in the supermarkets have been going up, up, up especially on imported products which have doubled or tripled in price. Local products have not gone up much so smart shoppers are still able to get what they need at a reasonable price no empty shelves by the way just higher prices

1:54:51 Oh, and gas is pretty cheap for some reason. We're being misled! Because you're soaking in it? Of course you are being misled so it seems that things are still kind of okay in Russia He says even with the current situation we were happy to have left when we did which was leaving Holland COVID restrictions were pretty tight and swapping our noisy apartment for a house with land around makes more sense now than ever No jingle since I botched that last time. Just some baby-making karma for us and whoever else needs it, keep up the good work from Russia with love! Mark." How nice. You've got karma. John Boland is in Brockport New York 360 meetup donation? Yes he...I have a

Meetup Reports, Host Replacement Poll Proposal

The hosts discuss recent listener meetups and a controversial donation proposal regarding a "host replacement poll" in the event of a host's demise. They also touch on various listener-submitted topics, including "yak balls" and relationship karma requests.

meetups· mary schwan· host replacement· 333.33· yak balls

1:55:43 reports from them, from the meetup there for later on. Donation credit to Mary Schwan! Okay? We... Schwan! Mary Schwan Switcheroo Got it Please look for her email. Did not get it, did you get anything from Mary Schwan? I think i do as she says a later donation I think somewhere. I continue to read if none from her the meetup email subject is MeetUp report donation the douche oh dedouche dedouche dedouched the whole group everyone participated in the game which Mary won the executive producership ah yes okay You've been Deduced! We have to come up with a format for this I think

1:56:24 So because when people donate from a, from a meetup and we have to kind of I mean he did it okay in this case. I guess we understand what's going on. We have switcheroos. A few of these will figure it out. All right so Mary Schwan will be credited and we'll look for her email which may be coming up later And then we expect to know from John saying no that was my money. John Buell another John in Vista California 333 dot 88 and he needs 33's a magic number, Atlas shrugged. Yack karma! ITM I received multiple signs it was time to donate first was the sad puppy in the newsletter the second was when I had to negotiate a concession from a price increase from my glass vendor they wanted to increase the price on a quote that was expired by thirty three days

1:57:22 and they wanted to increase it by 40% after multiple requests from management, they reduced it to a 33% increase. Not the way I wanted to receive the message to donate but it was received nonetheless. Lastly, the two of you have had discussions on what to do when the inevitable scarcity of one of your lives run out of time? Well I can't imagine this show with anybody else than Crackpot and Buzzkill! The show must go on! As an executive producer of the Noah Genis show, I would like to propose an idea. I don't like this! I'll just say it right...I haven't even read any further but what is he saying? If one of us fucking keels over is that what he's saying? We're gonna find out.

1:58:05 For the summer months of July August and September we would start a monetary poll if your donation ends with dot 8-8 And that signifies double double infinity The show must go on with a replacement host if your donation is with 22 That means you believe the crackpot and buzzkill cannot be replaced and with the unfortunate demise of a host the show comes to an end At the end of summer, whichever amount has the most total donations of .88 or .22 would help you in the direction to seek out a possible replacement host or move on into something new. Thank you for your courage! Okay, so me this sounds like one of us is getting whacked after September I don't know... I don't like it! It's the magic number

1:58:55 I'm not gonna say anything about it. I'm interested in what people think but we've done these before these kind of quasi, but not with one of us dying But or quitting the dot what are you saying? I'm not saying anything, just sayin'. Oh. I didn't like that. And it's like... Sounds like John is quitting. You don't get enough responses to make it work Mike Saliba is in Clinton Township Michigan 333 dot 34 going one above the perfect amount In the morning my donation of 333-33 plus 1 penny today Is a double switcheroo! Okay

She would like to be Dame Kelly of axeheadwatch.com and macro greens and seafood platter at the round table Oh, I know who this is. Then we have switcheroo number two instead of updating you on the watch company where promo code ITM is still our most used discount these are the wooden watches aren't they? Oh yeah! Did you order yours yet? No... I keep- You know what? I'm gonna order mine this week. Why are we not doing this? He keeps saying or give well give you one it's weird

2:00:28 We're weird. We don't wear watches that could be one reason I wear one way as true, I wear one watch That's it anyway. I'd like to update you on some of our other endeavors I've officially accepted my party's nomination for US House of Representatives for Michigan's 10th district It's time for shrunken amygdalas in Congress yep And that's it He had something that he not for the show and he never closes the parentheses so I'm just not gonna read it He says, uh... He doesn't say thank you all. He says thank you all. Okay good luck Mike! Was this the guy who had the sign like? No that's a different guy. Because one of our producers is running for also a Senate, a state senate I think? Yeah somewhere. Oh no, City Council

2:01:18 And his slogan is because you shouldn't have to eat bugs and mac and cheese. I thought that was a great slogan, great slogan very very good And there's no no jingles there so okay Thank You very much my oh, and I'll make sure we put Kelly as the recipient of the credits yes She gets it she Ellen Dix is up three three three dot 3-3 from Spring Hill Florida Hey, CP and BK is my birthday on the 9th. You're on the birthday list which you wouldn't have known without a note But I could still use a double up karma and Rick P is a douchebag Adam D Allen D from Florida there you go

Sorry to hear that Gifford but yeah as we said sometimes these things can just be expected You've got karma And by the way Shignesh if it wasn't a show coming between you it would have been something else Yeah for sure

Speech Pathology Analysis, Joe Biden Stutter Claims

Dame Mariella, a speech-language pathologist, submits an evaluation of President Joe Biden's speech patterns. Using the Stuttering Severity Index, she argues that Biden does not have a true stutter but rather exhibits signs of age-related cognitive decline. The segment also addresses a disgruntled listener's email regarding the show's coverage of Ukraine and Goldman Sachs.

2:03:30 Eric C., Shirley, Massachusetts 333. That rhymes! Hey it's been a while since I donated but recently realized i've been listening since show 650 so have now been listening since more than half the shows history no jingles no karma Eric C thank you eric and glad you're still with us Dame Mariella in Prineville, Oregon 333 check your email for a note this one I have if I do In the morning Adam and John today. I make my customary donation to you gentlemen to honor the anniversary of my unlikely survival Of a brain aneurysm yes we know her well of course

2:04:06 This year I'm proud to do so for the first time as a dame. Five years ago on this very day, my husband, the deaf dumb and blind knight found me collapsed at our neighbor's house and I lived to tell the tale after two months in the hospital, two brain surgeries and seriously lots of no agenda. Producers must never forget this show is critical for brain health! Listening to the show grounded me in the hospital and continues to help keep my anxiety at bay and my marriage healthy thank you that's a lot of praise What? All caps. All caps, that's a lot of praise thank you now I promised myself i wouldn't write a super long note this year but there's just one more quick thing that's been bugging me lately if I may oh here we go build us up cut us down I'm a speech-language pathologist here to tell you Joe Biden does not have a true stutter well this is information we didn't have

2:05:02 It is part of my job to evaluate and treat stuttering, and I do so on a regular basis. When I can present it properly for the show, I look forward to sending over complete evaluation of the precedent that I conducted using standardized assessment measurement, the Stuttering Severity Index—nice! And four different language samples from Biden. Sorry to say his score indicates this guy is just an old burnt-out jackass not a stutterer." Stay tuned for that and thank you, No Agenda family for your courage. No jingles needed just some screaming French bulldog travel karma for a busy mom of a family reunion would be great very sincerely. I'm gonna make sure I get this which one does she want the Asian dog? Yeah, last name also Dame Mariela of the anterior communicating artery

2:05:58 Ella, great to hear from you. So happy that you're still with us! Russ Johnson's up and from Eugene Oregon 333 and he writes does media truth only come from you two halfwits? You know yeah pretty much isn't that telling you something right there you got it John, listening to Twit years ago and knowing your tech news days were numbered. I couldn't be happier where you ended up. Fuck him! Adam keep being Adam and calling out DB douchebag Fitz. Douche bag. Douche bag Fitz for me okay this is from...I got a bunch of letters here so it has to be Ross from Eugene Oregon You know we- I gotta have to pass on a note to you

2:06:57 Because this one kind of reminded me of it and I wrote it down. This email, okay short... Adam, It's kinda ironic- I'm gonna do the voice. It's kinda ironic that Dvorak blocked a response to his email despairing over the fact that no one is responding to his newsletter! The following is what he blocked could you please ensure he receives a copy? I'm going to read this to you. John, I haven't responded since you became the leading outlet for Russian state news regarding Ukraine! Furthermore, you blocked me and denied doing so which made every attempt at donation an ordeal. I once sent a note to your PO box asking for an address to which i could send you some wine as a gift all caps and you never had the decency to respond to it finally

2:07:43 I just got so tired of Adam's reflexive conspiratorialism and inter-inverterate whining, not to mention the bad information you both get from some of your insiders e.g., the demise of Goldman Sachs! I'm at least overboard very likely so over YOU Sir Crushalot Black Knight of the Leelanu Grapefields Huh...I don't remember getting a note from anybody about sending me wine So I doubt the veracity of any of this. He said some very nasty things there! He's not a happy camper... No, sad. I think what happened is he shorted Goldman. Hey we never said to invest in him- We don't give investment advice at all. Should have shorted Twitter. Just saying. Even that?

CHAPTER 30 / 41 Discussion

Almond Water Usage Myth, Dairy Lobby Influence

The hosts investigate the claim that it takes 1.1 gallons of water to grow a single almond. They suggest the statistic is a "myth" potentially propagated by the dairy lobby to discredit almond milk, noting that all nut trees and fruit crops require significant water and that almond shells are used for biomass fuel and cattle feed.

almonds· california· water usage· dairy lobby· biomass fuel

2:19:08 We hit people in the mouth. Okay, let's see... Did you have something special you wanted to roll out in this second segment here? Let's do the almonds stuff and get it out of the way. Oh yes, very good! It is interesting that you had a note or link for the show notes I also have a separate link and the premise of the last show was an email from one of our producers who says...

2:19:56 a gallon of water for one almond. 1.1 gallon of almonds, water for one almond and she's growing them in the Mediterranean and she says I just don't see it, I don't understand it sounds like somethings up then so you of course said oh yeah almonds are horrible! Yeah because I was brainwashed, I'm from California Of course yes. I have to fight it every day And I have thought... So I've not listened to although I looked at my link I'm very excited to find out what you've learned about the almond. Is the almond water sucking crisis bogus or not? All right, so let's go to this clip first and get a little report update on the almond business

2:20:38 Is it actually called update on the almond business? It's called Almond. With all the shortages Americans are now facing, some are worried almonds could be the next hard to find item on their shopping lists According to a recent report from The Almond Board of California exports of the popular nut are down 13% this year This despite the crop doing well and shipments hitting a new record The Los Angeles Times reports about 1.3 billion pounds of unsold almonds are stuck in processing and packing plants Experts say while shipping costs have improved, they are still high. The industry is also worried that the ongoing drought in parts of California could impact its harvest. Still they say sales of almonds remain strong around the world. Okay okay so I looked into it and we have a couple of show notes links you can look into yourself but 1.1 thing nobody even knows where that came from was developed by

2:21:33 It was developed overseas and they started to apply it to California. No California farmer claims they do, it takes that much water to make an almond but it does take a lot. It still takes at least half gallon of water for one almond? Yeah pretty much but yeah the problem is of course all nuts grown anywhere take as least as much as an almond does. They're all the same so this The idea is to focus on almonds or any fruit trees also suck it up. So, is somewhat misleading and so the farmers are irked about that and they think they can get their water usage down to less than what there but it is right now. The comparisons of cattle is bull crap let's just get that out of the way right away California accounts for 80% of the world's almond supply

2:22:26 And that includes almonds that go to China, because it gets chopped up and put into food there. Marzipan is from almonds so you have a lot of almonds going to Europe. Almond flour which is a major commodity is from these almonds and also almond starch and also nuts. Almond meal. There's a lot of almond and nut butter or not I'm sorry, not the nut butter but the nut juice that you people make almond milk is very popular nutsap nuts sap So almost are big deal. I again say I don't like eating them. I think they're kind of hard and You don't have a lot of Texture they just green up in your mouth. I'm not a big fan. I love marzipan I don't have proof of this but this seems like a very obvious one

2:23:18 And I'm focusing only on the nut sap, on the almond milk. myth was thrown into the ether since we can't find the origin by the dairy lobby. I'm quite convinced that dairy lobby went, oh almond milk? We can't have that! We want people to drink our milk! Yeah they're horrible for climate change and they take up too much water and then the nut sap people who by the way if you notice the nuts app is be is on high rotation advertising They went Oh yeah dairy take this It's because of your farts and your cow shit.

2:24:01 The dairy's no good. Go nutsap! This is a classic. Well, the myth about the dairy using more water than anything per ounce of beef is the biggest crock because mostly grazing lands that you know just... But don't you think this was pure lobby and bullshit? It could be like the old Boeing versus Airbus fights that we used to witness Yeah it's pretty big. It makes nothing but sense and I'm sure there may be something behind it they're just trying put the crimp on these. By the way, all my guys also like to point out that the almond shells that are shelled in the process produce a lot of fuel which is biomass fuel and it's quite nice for burning. It's also good for smoking by the way not as good as pecan shells I will say but its good for smoking. Have you ever smoked pecan shells? But its good for burning, its good for fuel and they also grinded up and give it to cows to eat! Ironically! Have you ever smoked pecan shells

2:25:00 I've smoked with pecan shells. With pecan shells? What do you, well...I just want to try it and understand how it works. So you put tobacco and pecans together? I don't understand! I'm talking about barbecuing. Oh smoking! Barbe- I thought you were like wow something new I can smoke. Yeah you'd be definitely in. Believe me you would know Hey man, can I smoke that in my bar? The old B Cave Barbecue out on B Cave Road outside of Austin had a rig there. In fact the guy made some of the best brisket in Texas and he always relied on the pecan shells for the smoke. Yeah. It's not a trick. Texans use pecan shells to make that flavor. He just got a little confused

Black Farmer Debt Relief, Biden Administration Criticism

A black farmer appearing on MSNBC criticizes the Biden administration for failing to deliver promised debt relief. He claims that while billions are sent to Ukraine, minority farmers continue to face discrimination from the USDA and banks, despite a $5 billion allocation in the COVID relief bill.

black farmers· debt relief· lindsey graham· usda· discrimination

2:25:52 Well, let's stay on the farmer tip for a moment. This is very disturbing and we had a racially motivated handout from the Biden administration which was sending I believe five billion dollars to African-American farmers only Remember this? Yeah. Only African-American farmers get this five billion dollars, which a lot of farmers went home man that's kind of racist but okay I guess uh just that's what Biden administration is about so here is one of these black farmers hat and all On MSNBC, it's an indirect recording but I think it is decent enough to play otherwise I wouldn't have. And as I said on your show earlier when Senator Lindsey Graham made those comments he should be ashamed of himself because I certainly have been lobbying him for years about the plight of the black farmers We've lost millions of acres of land we've lost our way of living our livelihood

2:26:47 And the COVID relief spending bill that provided the 5 billion in debt relief, one billion for obviously technical assistance and another 4 billion for debt relief was a 30 year old ask from myself and others. Even as I was promised debt relief in a settlement agreement, I still didn't get it after the Secretary of Agriculture told the local county office to provide me with debt relief I want to let the audience know it was white farmers who got basically all of the debt relief for the 30 years. I was asking Congress and the courts to provide debt relief to black farmers, white farmers get that belief in this country with ease

2:27:29 And black farmers like myself were denied the time and time again to get debt relief in this country. The stack has been stacked against us, we've been facing discrimination as you noted the banks who have been bailed out in this country were one of the very first to speak out against black farmers getting debt relief from this country so the government has failed us, the banks have failed us and it's almost like 40 acres on a mule We were promised these things. And every time there's a pot of money that supposed to go to black farmers or black people in this country, we're told we have to wait last July at the White House I was promised a meeting by President

2:28:11 that hasn't happened since the time we provided $50 billion in aid to Ukraine and other regions of the country. But we can find a way to get debt relief to blacks and other farmers of color at a time that matter." Oh, imagine that! It went to white farmers. Imagine that! Nothing went to blacks. By the way racist trolls horrible people in that troll room Unbelievable. So, uh yeah... Ignore it. They uhh.... Yeah so Biden's full of crap is what it really amounts to in these guys this what the black community has to be stuck with this Democrats Everyone says we're wrong or being played This is not true! So then alright that's fine That's fine That's fine We might as well use a counter clip To prove that were wrong No but that's fine because What I would call this then If its not true Then thats another take down of Biden

G20 Meeting in Bali, US-China Relations

The G20 foreign ministers' meeting in Bali was dominated by tensions over the war in Ukraine. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken confronted Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi over Beijing's support for Russia, while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accused the West of "rabid Russophobia."

g20· bali· antony blinken· sergei lavrov· wang yi

2:29:10 So it's, that fits too. But yeah, finest of counterclip douchebags! Oh my goodness horrible racist pieces of crap in there. Eugh. I already kicked someone off you use the n-word in the chat room and you're getting kicked out losers. Oh yeah. Yeah unbelievable Okay let's go to G20. Oh yay big meeting yes a big meeting So I actually have four, because we got oil reserves. You know that all reserves are being shipped out? Biden released all the reserves? Not all but yeah. They're all being exported! Yeah now there is something to be said for that is that are those reserves what is the level of crude this is actually something you should know because it's my understanding obviously oil is fungible to some degree

2:30:05 But that the type of crude we either have too much at our refineries or it's not the right kind. And, of course also they're trying to sell off oil to pay for...to pay the debt down I guess? I don't know what they're doing with the money! Let's go to G20s. G21 this from Ntang Dynasty. Oh you don't want to do the oil reserves being shipped out? No, I think as long as we know it's been there being shit. Okay? We can deal with it later The war in Ukraine and its impact on the global economy overshadowed a g20 meeting in Bali on Friday Host Indonesia urged foreign ministers to help end the conflict whose repercussions including rising energy and food prices would hit poorer countries hardest

2:30:52 Top officials from the West and Japan insisted the meeting would not be business as usual. Heckles greeted Russia's top diplomat, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov as he arrived for the meeting. Lavrov accused the West of scuppering a chance to tackle global economic issues with frenzied criticism of the conflict. There is only rabid Russophobia, which they turn to instead of finding much-needed common ground on key issues on the global economy and finances for which the G20 was created." US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on the sidelines that challenges from rising food and energy costs had been, quote, dramatically exacerbated by Russian aggression against Ukraine. During the plenary meeting he confronted Russia about blocking the export of Ukrainian grain and stealing it a Western official said. Ukraine has struggled to export goods with many of its ports blocked as the war rages along its southern coast It is the world's fourth largest grain exporter

2:31:57 Okay. So the G20, which is supposed to be an economic meeting so everyone can make more money and... stuff their pockets with cash. Just became about Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia and of course we got everybody in on that bandwagon except I guess India and China still refuse to go along with the program which is kind of an issue. And so then we kinda addressed that in the second part of this clip which was from NPR jumping to a different channel and a different perspective Secretary of State Antony Blinken told his Chinese counterpart that the U.S is concerned about China's support for Russia's war in Ukraine. Blinken also says he is concerned about what he calls the increasingly provocative Chinese rhetoric and activity near Taiwan, and Pierce John Rewitsch reports they spoke after the G20 meeting in Bali

2:32:49 China says it hasn't taken sides in the war in Ukraine and that is called for all parties to exercise restraint. But Blinken said China's words and actions, in fact have not been neutral He said China has shielded Russia an international organizations amplified Russian propaganda and even continued to conduct joint military exercises he said Beijing is shirking its responsibilities as a permanent member of the UN Security Council And he expressed deep concern about China's alignment with Russia The over five hour face-to-face meeting was the first between Blinken and Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi in months, and it comes with US China relations still hobbled by a range of disagreements. John Rewich NPR News Shanghai I left this...I usually only leave the kicker on but i had to leave this one on because this guy's giving report about the G20 conference in Bali

2:33:43 And he's in Shanghai. Well, you might as well be in Berkeley! What difference does it make? Hi I'm so-and-so in Shanghai... This is that thing that M5M does constantly they put some guy in Paris usually a woman she's in Paris just out of the hair salon giving her report about Libya or Turkey or something like that yeah I find it quite annoying. Well at least he's close to the source of his information. Not in what way? Close to nothing! Close to the source of HIS information Yeah, the phony balonies in Shanghai sure okay Did you see Washington Post wrote about this? Zelinsky at the G20 Was that the G20? He was virtual

Ukraine Reconstruction Costs, Political Party Bans

President Zelensky requested $750 billion for the reconstruction of Ukraine, calling it a task for the "civilized world." Meanwhile, the Ukrainian government has permanently banned the Communist Party and several other left-wing political groups, seizing their assets and raising questions about the country's democratic status.

zelensky· ukraine· reconstruction· communist party· democracy

2:34:23 He's always virtual. I don't know if he actually exists, we don't really know. They had him with Lindsey Graham and that creepy Blumenthal guy who visited him so it looked like they were there So he says you know what really needs to happen is after the war is over let me see if I can give you the exact The reconstruction of Ukraine is not a local project, it's not a project of one nation but a common task for the entire democratic world. All countries who can say they are civilized," Zelensky told hundreds of attendees. Restoring Ukraine means restoring the principles of life, restoring the space of life, restoring everything that makes humans humans." His request?

2:35:09 750 billion dollars. Oh yeah! 750, yeah... This guy's got his nerve now he's got his nerve now let's I gotta clip here I want to know how is the democracy this great democracy that we're protecting doing there in Ukraine? Is Ukraine political parties banned oh yeah bad news for the Communist Party in Ukraine party was banned in the past now a court has ruled to uphold that ban The Communist Party of Ukraine is now permanently banned in the Eastern European country. Their assets and structural entities have been transferred to the state. The move comes after President Zelensky declared in May that all pro-Russian parties will be illegal A number of other left wing parties have been banned as well, some of those are the Left Opposition Union Of Left Forces and the Socialist Party of Ukraine

2:35:59 Ukrainian officials have been trying to shut down the Communist Party for years. No right-wing parties were banned for being pro Russian. Interesting, interesting... That's a democracy for you! Yeah no they have a parliamentary democracy don't they? Is that what they have? So, people are calling everything democracy. Everything's democracy! No it's not. It's representative parliament of some sort I don't know what the exact term for it is Here's another Ukraine clip. This is Putin making some nasty... you know his normal snide... You know Putin's pretty good at being a snide

2:36:40 Here's some snide remarks, snide. We are hearing that they want to defeat us on the battlefield What can I say? Let them try! We have often heard that the West wants to fight us until the last Ukrainian It is a tragedy for the Ukrainian people but it looks like its heading in that direction Putin also said Russia had barely got started in Ukraine and prospects for any negotiation would grow dimmer the longer conflict dragged on What's the line that the West of West giving they will be fighting Russia to the last Ukraine less Ukrainians dead It's very funny. I could comment on this is the last bit again Putin also said that Russia had barely got started in Ukraine and barely got started what kind of English is that? Is she not English native English speak probably not just kind of weird and didn't think it was very good

Biden Executive Order on Abortion, 10-Year-Old Girl Story

President Biden signed an executive order to protect access to abortion medication and travel following the reversal of Roe v. Wade. The hosts discuss a widely reported story of a 10-year-old rape victim in Ohio forced to travel to Indiana for an abortion, noting that the Washington Post and other outlets have questioned the lack of verifiable sources for the claim.

joe biden· roe v wade· executive order· ohio· washington post

2:40:46 That makes sense. I have a few things about Roe v Wade, I'd like to cover because although everybody was all jacked up about Biden's stupid prompter flub here it is. It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who registered to vote and cast a ballot is consistently higher than the percentage of men who do so end quote repeat the line women are not without electoral and or political or maybe precisely So I'm sure you saw this, everyone was laughing about it. It's not that good! It's not that good and also the only thing that's good about is that the official White House transcript has been changed to repeat the line to let me repeat that line so they just lie blatantly he didn't say that even say let me repeat the line how people thought there was very funny but really the egregious

2:41:43 Actually, let me play this. Here's the CBS story. This is the reason why the president was speaking at all under pressure from abortion rights activists and members of his own party to do more in the wake of the Supreme Court ruling President Biden issued an executive order aiming to expand access to FDA approved abortion medication protect online privacy and access to contraception and provide legal help for patients and providers and the right to travel out-of-state But the president suggested his power is limited and urged Americans to head to the polls in November. There is no constitutional right to choose, only way- The only way to fulfill and restore that right for women in this country is by voting. The court now practically dares the women of America to go to the ballot box So they wrote a doozy for this guy repeat the line

2:42:36 including a story which we have questioned and now even the Washington Post is questioning this story, which the president in his infinite wisdom of reading the prompter as well as he can really double and triple down on the stories. This is going to get very embarrassing. What we're witnessing is a giant step backwards in much of our country already the bans are in effect in 13 states 12 additional states are likely to ban choice in the coming weeks. And in a number of these states, the laws are so extreme they've raised the threat of criminal penalties for doctors and healthcare providers. They're so extreme that many don't allow for exceptions even for rape or incest. Let me say it again some of these states do not allow exceptions for rape or incest this isn't some imagined horror It's already happening

2:43:29 Just last week it was reported that a 10-year old girl was a rape victim in Ohio. Ten years old! And she was forced to have to travel out of the state, to Indiana To seek to terminate the presidency and maybe save her life That's...last part is my judgment ten years old. TEN YEARS OLD! Rape six weeks pregnant Already traumatized, was forced to travel to another state Imagine being that little girl Just, I'm serious. Just imagine being that little girl 10 years old! Does anyone believe that it's Ohio's majority view? That should not be able to be dealt with or in any other state in the nation a ten-year-old girl should be forced to give birth To a rapist child?! I can tell you what I don't...I can think of anything as much more extreme The court decisions already been received by Republicans and Congress has a green light to go further and pass a national ban

2:44:42 a national man. This is pretty outrageous since there appears to be no source, well there's one source this was the story was provided by an local Indiana news outlet and it was Indianapolis OBGYN Kaitlyn Bernard who said a doctor in Ohio contacted her about this case this unnamed girl who lives in Ohio and was forced to seek an abortion in Indiana after a home state barred abortion But there's no proof of anything. The Washington Post now is like, well okay where is this from? Snopes! Snopes couldn't even come up with anything So... Is this again to... He wasn't ad-libbing This was on his prompter They really want this guy to go down Because it just doesn't seem to be true This is analogous

2:45:40 to the babies in incubators that the Iranian guard was actually tossing out. I mean, this is what are they doing to this man? This is going to get better. Oh well, I mean come on. They haven't got him to budge so let's just up the ante it's gonna be better. The gaffes and crazy shit in the next two months It's gonna be out of control. It's gonna be really good. Do you think they'll 25 them eventually I don't think that, well you're talking about the 25th amendment. Yeah yeah it's not code for you know exterminating kind of is it's a version of extermination

Kamala Harris on Codifying Roe, Press Secretary Flubs

Vice President Kamala Harris discusses the need for Congress to codify abortion rights into law, while refusing to state whether Supreme Court justices should be impeached. The segment also critiques Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre's performance during briefings, specifically her responses to Peter Ducey regarding the harassment of federal judges.

kamala harris· karine jean-pierre· roe v wade· impeachment· peter ducey

2:46:25 It would just be so much easier if he had a, you know something horrible medically happen to him. I mean they could induce that right away but the timings it's like it's like the Queen Joe Biden is technically dead! The heart attack mechanisms are there they're easy to use... No I'm saying that he's technically dead they're just keeping him alive until they get the next queen of America ready Well the problem is they still have Harris to deal with and maybe she's not being used Oh no hold on I have some Harris for ya because their making her look as stupid as possible Sorry, good job. Okay go on I want to hear you yeah it's hard not to what will this administration do to try in the coming months before the election and to codify Roe to try to through Congress put into law some of these priorities

2:47:11 The president acted this morning again with an executive order. But we also need Congress to act because that branch of government is where we actually codify, which means put into law... Oh thanks! ...the rights that again we took for granted but clearly have now been taken from the women of America and that does have to happen and we should not allow ourselves to minimize the significance of that which is Congress needs to act. Now wait a minute, weren't you in congress? Weren't you a senator at one point didn't do anything about it some senators have suggested that Justice Gorsuch justice Kavanaugh misled them during the confirmation hearings on Roe v Wade some Democrats have even called for those justices To be impeached Do you believe they should be impeached I mean listen and I start from

2:48:08 the point of experience of having served in the Senate, I never believed them. I didn't believe them so I voted against The funniest moment in this three-ring circus came during the question and answer...the press conference with Press Secretary Kareen Abdul Jean Pierre And it was, of course, Ducey asking about hey this is kind of weird. You got Supreme Court justices being harassed in restaurants by protesters there are some actual laws on the book about what you can do and how if you can't really harass federal judges there's real law against it but okay it's not being enforced which creates a bit of lawlessness none of that is important what is important is what she says the incredible

2:48:58 woke statement just slipped in the middle here about Ducey's line of questioning. People should be allowed to be able to do that... In a restaurant? If it is outside of a restaurant, if it's peaceful for sure Really?! Peaceful protest where you were your question to me was intimidation So these Justices because of protests Did you hear that!? Your question to me was intimidation and violence This is the press secretary. It's violence, what is wrong with these people? No no no you really think that? Oh then I completely misinterpreted it

2:49:50 She gets flustered. Let's start with a premise, she stinks! She is no good as a press secretary. She is slow on her feet and repeats herself a lot trying to figure out what the line of questioning really is And so she can catch her, your brain can catch up. She's just no good and I think that was just a flub and I don't think it was intentional. No, I'll take it! I completely misunderstood that. I was for sure... Oh man is this a black LGBTQ woke thing here? That's all... It was just a missing word. Okay. Alright, well I stand corrected. Then I heard the whole thing in it that's exactly true. The way she interpreted the original question

2:50:31 Well, you should have stopped me before I hurt myself. Well because I didn't know where you were going with that clip because people have been sending us that clip about saying commended and which was bull crap she just flubbed there too. Commend? No, I didn't see it. And I had that clip but I found it was in Icos so I was wondering what you're getting out of it. Oh no, I completely missed the message. So I couldn't stop ya. Yeah, yeah, I understand you would've tried if you could have I always try to keep from you injuring yourself. And we do have a few people to thank and this is show 1467, and uh...

Nap for Humanity, Florida Voter Registration Shift

The hosts revisit their "Nap for Humanity" concept, citing a study that suggests resting more can reduce carbon footprints. They also report on a significant shift in Florida politics, where Republican voter registration has surpassed Democrats by over 200,000, a change attributed to Governor Ron DeSantis's policies.

3:03:40 Alright, end of show. I have one... only one sad song. Oh god no. No, okay what you got? So I have four... Well it's gonna be one of yours Each one of them is better than that Although a couple are pretty lame Let's start with the Cajun one Hey! How are ya Basil? Okay i can see that working Yeah Fireballs Fireballs? Fireballs just random okay Next Mail We'll mail you some

3:04:31 Can't hear what she's saying. Hold on. Well, maybe some No, no, you can't hear it really okay then last is not enough that's just not enough I think that's the winner Yeah, I think so. Thank yeah, you knew that was although I do like the Cajun guy. Yeah, he's not bad He's not bad there was a story that made me really happy that it was That had popped up because we've had this in mind Oh man, I don't know how long ago. I guess we could look it up what's the date? I'm gonna spoil it in a minute Yeah this is- This goes back to Obama era Long time ago This is from our climate change You ready for it

3:05:17 Why working less hours and sleeping longer can reduce carbon footprints and fight climate change? This is our old nap for humanity. Exactly! The jingle is still in play. Nice! Science shows that fewer hours spent working and more hours spent resting could be one of the best ways to reduce your carbon footprint again. Do we not have napforhumanity.com?

3:05:54 I don't know, but we had t-shirts made and photos taken. We never had photos taken! Yeah, I had Butler's daughter model the shirt... Oh you're right!! You're right!!! I wonder where those are? I dunno they were around. We need to bring it back because Now for Humanity is just beautiful. How could how could you not want a part of that? The picture is her conked out with this shirt on so uh... You gotta find that picture I can find it. That's good, that's too good. I just need to figure out the date of it. Okay. I have one last clip... I'm sure you do. ...says this for stark weather. You know Florida has always been traditionally a blue state well they now officially become a red state and its kind of interesting. Wait what? Wasn't Florida always a red state? No no Florida has always been a blue state Since when?! But it bounces red every so often because all the retirees from New York City that moved down there and they vote against everything They're old Democrats. Okay Not anymore

3:06:51 Got it. Good news for the Republican Party in Florida, the GOP has reached an all-time high of total voters in the Sunshine State one expert says that's because people migrating there from other states. Florida's Republican Party voter tally has reached 200 thousand more voters than the Democratic party according to data obtained by The Epoch Times That is first time in the state history just in December the GOP outnumbered Democrats for the first time ever in Florida Back then their lead was less than 50,000 voters. By March the advantage had grown to 100,000 voters in favor of Republicans and another leap this quarter brings the total to an over 200,000 voter lead a spokesperson for Governor Ron DeSantis told The Epoch Times that this lead is no surprise

3:07:37 She told the Epoch Times that Democrats are falling in line with Joe Biden's policies that are making Americans' lives harder and more expensive. But Governor DeSantis is standing in their way, making Florida the firewall for freedom. She added that they'll prove that Florida is a red state in November. Although the GOP has the advantage now, Florida used to be a blue state as Especially during the Obama administration in 2008, when DeSantis was elected governor in 2018 Republicans were still 300 thousand votes behind Democrats. One election expert says this change is due to Florida's successful branding across the nation He says the huge influx of people into this state Is largely comprised of right-of center voters from blue states coming to a better place to live Today there are one million more people registered to vote in Florida than just four years ago

3:08:27 I like the firewall for freedom. Ah, you caught that! Of course! Yeah, yeah, I agree it's a catchy phrase. That's killer. It was just there was a toss away too it was funny. Alright... Okay, thats pretty much it. Yeah and there is other stuff um... We'll get to it on Thursday No doubt well things will evolve which is always the great part about uh about the show and we'll have producers weighing in and telling us hey hey this is what's going on I happen to be an expert That's all part of the value for value model. Time, talent treasure please help out! It has been working so far do your part time, talent and treasure So we'll be back on Thursday I will have lots to talk about I'm sure because it is a big Tina Marie Curry birthday weekend We're celebrating it like the Dutch do man

The program concludes with a series of musical mixes and parodies. These include a "Fauci-auchi" nursery rhyme parody, songs about the "globalist" agenda and bug-eating, and a news-clip montage focused on the "sixth wave" of COVID-19 variants.

3:10:10 Hush little baby, don't say a word Time for your shot then your second and third If you're reaction is adverse Mama can't sue to get reimbursed If your mama blames the shot, Fauci's gonna say it's something else you got. If ya don't believe me I don't care, Fauci still gonna be a millionaire! Who's got their Fauci-auchi? There's a middle between beef

3:10:52 And bugs. You know, that was so obvious it just went right by everybody! They're ghouls man these people are ghouls It's just amazing to me that they keep promoting it God this tastes just like human flesh You can't do jack shit with it and that's obvious you know we take less resources but yet world tastier than bugs Oh we got to be taster then bugs what isn't? Eat the humans So yes, they eat the humans. Wow! Okay... By their logic They'll own you and your rights The mean and vicious guys Roughing up you Lies bleeding through their ho-o-ores Plotting and baiting Ooh, they're shooting on you But there five eyes are now less than four Oooh Oh how many atrocities

Whoa heres breadcrumbs Watch out slaving they'll spew you up Whoa hear the drums They are barges It hasn't played anywhere probably, but it got an award for the new wave. Well if there was ever any doubt that these new COVID variants were going to turn up the risk category for community spread then you can take that doubt out of the question and we even have drugs who can use to treat this. COVID cases are increasing this summer You know right now we as humans are kind of trying catch-up with the virus Experts saying the new COVID variant BA5 is the one fueling the new outbreaks in both New York City

3:13:48 and Long Island. So these new variants are coming in the fall, we might need a different kind of vaccine to outsmart the latest variant their new ways. Yeah I mean basically what you're summarizing is the strategy that we have left to us as scientists all five boroughs in the city or back in the CDC's high risk category experts saying the new covid variant B. A five is the one fueling the new outbreaks in both New York City and Long Island. Unfortunately, the virus keeps finding new ways to threaten us unless you're tracking it like we are there and you don't really know that this is happening when you say the vaccine outsmarts us? Is it outsmarting the vaccines though Are we facing that again And more more We're talking monkey parts All right let's talk about covid again Sorry uh

3:14:38 seen really across the country some indications that we might be experiencing what could be a new wave. Well COVID cases in New York City are surging with officials now back to recommending masks indoors, We have to talk about the crash of covid infections because it appears that a sixth wave is upon us here The new wave The best podcast in the universe! That's just not enough.
