About this episode

European Union Green Deal czar Frans Timmermans has proposed an annual day of mourning for victims of the climate crisis, specifically citing the 2021 floods in Germany and Belgium. The proposal comes as the United Kingdom National Weather Service issues its first extreme heat warning, sparking claims from the BBC and NPR that infrastructure is melting. Critics point to historical Dutch traditions like the Tropenrooster and 11-year solar cycles as evidence that current weather patterns are not unprecedented.

In Germany, Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced the reactivation of coal and oil-fired power plants to mitigate energy shortages caused by the war in Ukraine, despite previous carbon reduction goals. Meanwhile, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson rejected a petition from 1,200 astronomers to rename the James Webb Space Telescope following allegations of LGBTQ purges during the Truman administration. In the United States, Starbucks closed 16 locations in cities like Seattle and Los Angeles due to safety concerns, while Florida Governor Ron DeSantis surged in polling as the January 6th Committee prepared its primetime finale.

Dr. Marty McCary of Johns Hopkins University reports that scientists at the CDC and FDA are being muzzled by the White House over sampling data. The segment on medical alerts features a montage of unconventional heart attack triggers, ranging from traffic noise to shoveling snow. Nathan Winder shares a bizarre account of corporate culture at Google involving a literal litter box, while Sir Paul Couture details the migration of the show database to the Laravel 9 framework.

Sumo Wrestling, NFL Exhibition Match Proposal

John C. Dvorak reports on the July sumo tournament and the performance of wrestler Terranofuji. The discussion covers the physical requirements of sumo, the training methods documented by NHK, and a hypothetical exhibition match between sumo wrestlers and NFL offensive guards.

00:00 Joe's fine. He's great. Commemorating climate victims 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 I'm assiduously watching the July tournament where Terranofuji almost lost today, I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill. Yes, and that was your sumo wrestling report, courtesy of John C. Dvorak.

00:43 People don't know that. They don't know that. They don't know that you're a sumo wrestling aficionado. I love sumo. It's nothing like watching a couple of fat guys who are intentionally fat. They actually take the weight off after they quit the game. But they have to be intentionally fat because of the nature of the game. So you have to have a lot of weight. I mean, you can try the fast move, the little thinner guys. Why do you need to be so fat? Just because of the pure bulk? You can just slam into people and just use your mass? Yeah, well, two reasons. One, you don't want to be someone who can be easily pushed around because it's just a little round ring. Yeah, that's true. And you get pushed out easily if you go ahead with a big fat guy. Yeah. But it's interesting. NHK has done a very good job on some of the in the last few years of

01:35 Going into a lot of the details of sumo, which makes it actually even more interesting how these guys come up and they have to literally just make themselves as fat as they can, kind of like an actor might do in a movie. And they only last in the game maybe five to 10 years, maybe at the most. So some guys that stick around for some length of time, they're more naturally big. And it's just fascinating to watch. There's lots of skill to it. But I've always thought Americans would love this because it's like... Who doesn't love fat guys? Who doesn't love fat guys? You know, if they could combine sumo wrestling with hot dog eating, I think we'd have a winning formula for America. I think American football guards and tackles and the American Football Professional League could become sumos if they

02:29 You know, if they wanted to. I would like to see it. I'd like to see Sumo go against the best guard in the NFL and see what happens. As just an exhibition. Sumo football! It's getting better. I mean, we're creating an entire... This is our exit strategy! Finally, sumo football. That's it everybody. Sumo football for Adam and John. Beautiful. I'm writing it down. For my book of ideas. You know, for when I retire, sumo football. You could sell that book. There's your exit strategy. So heads are bowed all across the EU. A very, very solemn day yesterday. Led in this day of mourning is our very own Frans Timmermans.

Frans Timmermans, EU Climate Victim Memorial Proposal

European Union Green Deal czar Frans Timmermans proposes an annual day of mourning for victims of erratic weather patterns caused by the climate crisis. He cites the 2021 floods in Germany and Belgium, specifically mentioning a 15-year-old victim named Rosa. Critics argue the floods were caused by poor infrastructure and flood plain management rather than climate change.

03:19 my friend who never returns my calls anymore. He used to be a Bilderberger with the Dutch Queen and then he went deep into politics and now he is the European Union Green Deal czar. And I think we need to listen to him because he has something very important to say. We all commemorate right now the loss of life due to erratic weather patterns, horrible weather patterns in Europe. It's a year ago that More than 220 people lost their lives because of the floods in Germany and in Belgium. Also here, people have lost their lives in the climate crisis, the tornado. I think five people were killed also in Czechia. There are deaths almost on a daily basis worldwide. And it is clear these erratic weather patterns are a consequence of the climate crisis. It's clear. And I think it's time we

04:14 By the way, I just got to stop our buddy France there. That thing was caused by very bad policy for over a hundred years. that flood in Germany. It was not because of climate change. And it's admitted they had to turn back and say, well, yeah, I guess we'd kind of screw up the system. Yeah, they recreated an old flood plain that they had pushed back by putting trees here and there and doing all these things, which you have to do. They have to manage, you have to manage your environment. And then you just all of a sudden pull everything out of floods and you blame climate change. Exactly. In fact, here, a little bit here.

04:50 Oh no, it's too long, but we had a whole series of clips, even on NPR, it was always the infrastructure was not good. But that doesn't matter because Frans is still, he's a mensch, he's going to commemorate these people no matter what you say. I'm much of a mensch if he never calls you back. Climate crisis. And I think it's time we paid a bit more attention to those victims. Yes. And I think it would be a good idea to have at least one day in the year in Europe, where we commemorate the victims of these horrible weather patterns caused by the climate crisis. Horrible weather patterns caused by the climate crisis. We're now two steps removed. You know, a year ago I mentioned more than 220 people died. Yes. And sometimes it becomes clearer.

05:38 if you know one of these persons and I want to mention a 15 year old girl called Rosa. Okay, so I think there's something very subliminal he's about to do here. So what he's saying is, you know, sometimes it really doesn't hit home until it really hits you personally. By the way, nothing of course about, yeah, I feel bad for the 200 people that died, of course. I'm not a total a-hole. But for purposes of entertainment, you know, it's better if you make it personal. And then he says Rosa. This is a very typical Dutch Yiddish way of pronouncing a very Dutch Jewish girl's name, Rosa. And I think he's doing this on purpose to bring it closer to some kind of Holocaust proportions. How would you otherwise pronounce it? Rosa.

06:30 What's the Jewish pronunciation? Rosa. It's subtle. But for me it's very obvious that he's trying to... and also everything, it just feels creepy. And sometimes it becomes clearer if you know one of these persons. And I want to mention a 15 year old girl called Rosa who is who was the daughter of one of my colleagues in the European Commission, who was on a climate camp in the Belgian Ardennes. In a climate camp? And she was swept away by high waters and she died. What? We as a family just celebrated the 16th birthday of our daughter and Rosa will never be able to celebrate her 16th birthday and it breaks my heart to have to say this but I believe that compels us

07:24 to pay attention to all these people who have lost their lives because of this erratic weather which is a consequence of climate change. So I hope we can agree, I will propose it to the ministers today to have a memorial day for the victims of the climate crisis. By the way he says 16 year old girl and then later says she never got to celebrate her 16th birthday and she is, I mean she was. I mean that has incubator kids written all over it. transparent. Well the climate cap is one thing but whatever happened to the idea that climate's not weather? Well where have you been for the past five years? Oh that went out the window. When it was snowing and it was cold and we had you know we had a little bit of that snap.

United Kingdom Heatwave, Melting Roads Claims

The United Kingdom National Weather Service issued its first extreme heat warning for temperatures exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Media reports from NPR and the BBC claimed that roads might melt and that wildfires in France and Portugal were fueling the heat. Skeptics compare these temperatures to routine summer weather in Arizona and Palm Springs.

united kingdom· national weather service· heatwave· npr· wildfires

08:07 That's when everyone, of course, everyone who doesn't believe it would jump up and say, see, that's a climate change. So they had to parry that. And the only thing they could do was, and this is powerful, how powerful their mechanisms are. But didn't they once say that there was never going to be any snow at all because it was never going to happen and this snowing worse than ever? No, kids would never. What happened to that? Kids would not see snow after the year 2000 except in snow globes. Yeah, that was where it was put. But after that... So Britain just declared a national emergency. Record-breaking heat! I've got a heat clip.

08:47 He's got a heat cliff. Okay, what do you have? Oh, I see it, I see it, I see it. The title alone makes me jitty. The National Weather Service in the United Kingdom has issued its first ever extreme heat warning. As Villa-Marx reports, temperatures are expected to top 100 degrees in many parts of the country in the coming days. The British Meteorological Office's highest ever warning covers major cities including London, Manchester and York on Monday and Tuesday next week and indicates that the risks to life and that daily routines will need to change. Railway lines will likely face speed restrictions, medical appointments in some hospitals will be cancelled and certain schools will close early. Automobile organisations have warned drivers to stay off roads that may melt while cars face overheating. Top government officials have met Friday to discuss the response.

09:34 Wow, that guy sounds really... we need a response to 100 degrees. Roads are gonna melt. They're going to, of course! It gets to be 115, 120 in Arizona routinely day after day, month after month during the summer. Cars are stuck in the highways. Their tires are melted. Their tires are melted into the road, John. He said it's going to maybe go over 100 degrees, OK? Not 100 degrees centigrade. That would be bad. 100 degrees Fahrenheit. That would be roasty. That would melt the road. But they're going to go, oh, by the way, I went Mimi and I went to England years ago during their last heat wave. Wait a minute, they should have said, your blood will clot. See, this is what they should do. Oh, they missed an opportunity. Back to the story. So, and it was so bad then, it was over 100, it was in Paris and London.

10:26 The entire Hyde Park was, the park was, the grass was all dead. I don't think it's even gotten that bad with this heat wave. I don't think it's that bad. It was dead. It was all brown. It was like, looks like California. Very, you know, dead, dead and soulless. Dead and soulless. Yes, exactly like California. So, this clip is based on the melting roads. You gotta get your cars off the road because they're gonna sink into the melting asphalt. This has never happened. Where are the roads melting? They don't melt in Palm Springs. They don't melt in Arizona. Not melting in the Hill Country. What are they talking about? Maybe they have dumb tar. I don't know. It doesn't make any sense. Just pure tar roads.

11:14 It'd be melting all the time. I have, oh wait, do you have a second clip here? I do have, yeah I got a BS too, this is just a kicker. The extreme heat originated in Northern Africa and has been fueled by growing wildfires in France, Spain and Portugal. Well where's the climate change? Well this was the end of that report. This is what's causing the heat wave in England. Yeah, I have... When does this ever happen? You have fires in Portugal and France and it's causing a heat wave in England? Are you kidding me? They're blaming the heat wave and listen to this play that six seconds again. It's pretty funny. The extreme heat originated in northern Africa and has been fueled by growing wildfires in France, Spain and Portugal. Okay, now let me play this back. The extreme heat originated in northern Africa. Okay, so northern Africa, maybe Morocco, it just went, oh man we're warm, warm, and then we and they went over the ocean

12:18 Over the Mediterranean. The Mediterranean, sorry. and then up through Portugal and Spain and then it hopped the channel? I mean where did it go? No, because this is the same everywhere. I mean just to give you some historical perspective. What kind of bullshit are they trying to pull? The roads are going to melt and the African climate is affecting England? Yes. This is climate change blather and they've learned very... John, this is not journalism, it's not news. Was it the BBC? No, it was NPR. Yeah, but that's not news. I think it was via the BBC. You know what? I think that a lot of editors or writers of news stories, they don't even check that. Just go, well, it's climate change. And they just put it in there. At this point, it's just a fact.

Historical Weather Cycles, Dutch Tropenrooster Tradition

A personal account of living in the Netherlands during the 1970s describes hot summers and the "Tropenrooster" or tropical schedule used by schools. The narrative contrasts current climate alarmism with historical 11-year solar cycles and the global cooling fears of the 1970s.

13:11 You know, it's like they were very fine people. The roads are melting. The mouse is a dumb idea, nobody wants it. I mean, you know... I never said that by the way. Liar! That's why I'm saying it. You will go to your grave with that and I will stand on your grave and say, it's not true! It's not true! Oh, by the way, by the time that all happens, the mouse will be dead anyway. And I'll say he was right! He's right all along. So I have a little bit of historical perspective. In 1972 we moved to the Netherlands and I remember the summer, 72, 74, probably through 76, 70, maybe longer, and they were hot. And it was hot outside and it was really beautiful. I remember it. It was nice. The spring was nice and I was like, you know, Holland's not too bad.

14:01 In the 90s, it got shit. It was like a car wash, perpetual car wash. And even the summers, it was just wet and gray and nasty. And they had predicted, of course, in the 70s, oh, global cooling is coming. And to some degree, it cooled down a bit. And so we went through the solar maximum, the solar minimum, we were going up and down, this 11 year cycle. 22 real cycle, 22 half cycle, 11, yeah. Right, and I learned about that because when I was 15 I was you know, jacking up my CB radio using a sideband and cutting a diode so you could get into the 28 megahertz frequency. And, you know, I just had a half wave antenna on the roof and I could talk to Ohio. And that was because of the sun activity. So I learned a lot about this, but I could also feel the difference later when I went back to visit. And it really started becoming nice again when we went back to

15:03 Amsterdam, so turn of the century, turn of the millennium. And it started getting warmer. Now back in the day when I was in school in 72 and we were sweating our balls off, we had something called Tropenrooster. And the Tropenrooster was very simple. It's like when it's really hot during the summer, we'll give you a tropical schedule, that's what it means, Tropenrooster. And you come in a little earlier, you come in an hour earlier, and then after lunch everyone goes home. And that was normal. These temperatures, I don't know, I'm just saying record-breaking, I mean, I don't know. Seems like we had 100 degree days. And I remember because I was still an American in thought and I wasn't thinking centigrade or Celsius, and I remember those 100 degree days. Yeah. So it was just bull.

Tire Extinguishers, Climate Activists Target SUVs

A group known as the Tire Extinguishers has begun deflating SUV tires in the San Francisco Bay Area to protest gas consumption. One incident in Vacaville involved a nurse whose vehicle was targeted despite her need to transport children with disabilities. The group reportedly targets electric SUVs as well, claiming all large vehicles are dangerous.

15:53 And I don't remember the roads melting. But they don't like old farts like you bringing it up. Shut up. Shut up. Talk to a kid. Let's bring a kid an 11 year old they know. Yeah, I have an end of show, end of show mix of of the kids screaming about climate change. Let me say, actually I have a couple other things. Oh yeah, well no, the kids, no no, the kids, they know what to do. They're being taught, they're being taught well because you know, of course we have to fight this evil that's melting the roads. And you know, if the roads don't get you, we'll get you. Bay Area neighbors say some climate activists have crossed the line as they try to send a message about gas consumption. They are letting the air out of SUV tires. We invest a lot of time. Vacaville mom, Kwanda Ellis Walker, has two boys with autism. She and her husband also coach youth sports, focusing on kids with disabilities.

16:46 She also works as a registered nurse. So between her job, her kids, the kids on her team and taking care of a disabled aunt, she puts a lot of mileage on her SUV. On Tuesday morning, as she was driving to an appointment, her tire pressure sensor came on. Sensor on my tire was on six. She parked the car and found the problem. My tire was totally flat. I noticed the the fire says a climate a to tire because SUVs are b Your gas guzzler kills. S angry about that because does not kill. Qandas has

17:32 It helped her transport special needs children to many sporting events. Whether it's a person or group, it appears they're removing the tire valve cap and letting the air out in the middle of the night. Oh, that's how you do it. A group of anonymous climate activists started the vehicle tampering in Europe, and now it's spreading to the US. The anonymous group called the Tire Extinguishers claim responsibility for the vehicle tampering. They also target electric SUVs because they say all SUVs are dangerous. Wow, nice. Go electric. That's funny. Well, you know, and by the way, the real tip is you take off the screw top and then you take one of these little tools. Yeah, you screw it. You actually take the valve out. Yeah. Now you're talking, Johnny. You can't put any air back in. Did they tell you that in the meeting last night?

18:23 Yes, well, the meeting is it? But that's a good clip. I'm glad you're fine. I didn't even know that was going on. I'm sorry. It's a Bay Area report. But I have a Germany report on climate. So we can keep up with what they're doing there. And they're they're leading the way. They're all in Green New Deal rock and roll with. Chancellor Olaf Scholz says Germany's decision to reactivate coal and oil-fired power plants to relieve energy shortages because of the war in Ukraine is only temporary. He says his government remains committed to combating the climate crisis and he's insisting Germany remains committed to ending its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.

CHAPTER 06 / 42 Discussion

Germany Energy Crisis, Coal Plant Reactivation

Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that Germany will temporarily reactivate coal and oil-fired power plants to address energy shortages caused by the war in Ukraine. The European Union confirmed that member states increasing coal reliance due to the crisis will be exempted from certain carbon emission reduction goals.

He says his government remains committed to combating the climate crisis and he's insisting Germany remains committed to ending its greenhouse gas emissions by 2045.

19:00 This is so good. I do have one last clip then because then by the way... Wait, wait, wait, wait, before, can I just say one thing about Germany? Yeah. So Deutsche Bank is now modeling German households, you know, they do that for, you know, to understand the consumer, you know, maybe price their inflation, whatever they want to do. They're modeling German households chopping wood to keep warm this winter. Like, well, if we if we let them chop wood, everyone's going to be, I think, kind of OK. Well, it's good exercise. Yeah. Nothing wrong with them logs. Yeah. All right. What's your next year? I want to make a warning or pre warning for the rest of the show. I did get a bunch of Amy Goodman clips, so they're going to be on today's show. They're going to be highlighted. OK, well, let's do it properly. Do it once every few months. So Amy Goodman, clip inbound. All right. Amy, clip me in. Amy Goodman clip inbounds.

19:55 good. We know it. So let's go ahead. Use coal in the EU. This this what this clip kills me. In Brussels, the European Union has asked member states to curb their use of natural gas amidst fears that Russia might further reduce supplies. The EU says nations that increase their reliance on coal will be exempted from carbon emissions reduction goals. What? What a scam! What a scam! Hold on a second. Oh no. So Germany says, hey, we got to fire up some coal. Okay, you're exempt then. Yeah. That's what it says. It's like emergency youth authorization. So now you can meet your carbon goal in 2045 by burning coal. That's great.

Climategate Scandal, IPCC Data Manipulation History

The discussion revisits the "Climategate" scandal involving the manipulation of temperature data by the IPCC. It explores how media coverage of the scandal was suppressed and how scientific variables were allegedly adjusted to support global warming narratives prior to the release of Al Gore's documentary.

climategate· ipcc· al gore· climate change· scientific fraud

20:41 Wow, that's good and they get in there this stuff goes through and no one's you know, even Amy she does a straight-faced. Uh-huh Well, she she's you know, her religion is is science, you know I was I've had some thoughts about climate change and other things happening and When we first started following when it started with climate gate, I mean we're this show has been tracking the Play the jingle. Yeah, I was actually going to see if I could find it. I mean, it's so long it's no longer current. But yeah, so we've been around so long that we had a jingle for it. When we first started seeing the reports of the numbers being doctored. And the IPCC had already been in operation for a long time until it kind of crossed our radar. And it was a big scandal.

21:36 And people should go back and read it. It's a massive scandal. You can find the original documents. It was a massive scandal. It's been covered up and they've said, oh no, this is normal. We change these things as scientists. I mean, what else was the bull crap explanation they had for doctoring the numbers? Do you remember? Oh, you know, I don't remember now, but it was like they first day it was a scandal. The scandal existed and it was played up by the media for a while. And then somebody put the kibosh on it. Yeah. And then then they started making up rules. Well, you know, we have to change these because there's a variable. So this numbers that should have been in. Didn't that happen before Al Gore's movie came out?

22:19 Or was it after? No, I'm pretty sure it was after. After? Okay, even better. It was an epic scandal and no one talks about it anymore. But what we talked about at the time is the origins of this, which of course we've seen some of the very same climate change people in the early 70s say we're going to have an ice age. It was going to be global cooling, we were all going to die and frozen in the ice. And so, first of all, we were really happy because we like the heat better than the cold. I think we're universal on that. But it really stems from the population bomb people. And I think that's really the... We may not even have such a thing as left or right politicians. Maybe it's just politicians who want less people and politicians who want more people. Does that make any sense?

Eugenics History, Planned Parenthood, Darwin Title

The conversation explores the history of the eugenics movement in the United States during the 1920s and its influence on Nazi Germany. It examines the controversial legacy of Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. Additionally, the full original title of Charles Darwin's "On the Origin of Species" is cited regarding its mention of "favored races."

margaret sanger· eugenics· planned parenthood· charles darwin· natural selection

28:56 The Population Bomb is a 1968 book written by Stanford University professor Paul Ehrlich and his wife, Ken. Then I'm mistaken. Maybe he wrote a different book with him. I don't think so. Brand was associated with Ken Kesey and the Goofballs. He wasn't associated with the Stanford professors. That's a great band name, Ken Kesey and the Goofballs. I like that. Anyway. So climate change, you know, it's ultimately it's about removing people. Vaccines, I mean, I got my thoughts, but I'm like, OK, pretty much removing people. Roe v. Wade. This is Roe v. Wade is not just a U.S. story. This is playing everywhere. The Netherlands, the UK, France. Don't you find that peculiar? No, this is exactly the point. This is what I'm trying to say. Less people everywhere, not just America. Georgia Guidestones.

30:02 And you want less people in Europe but let's bring in more immigrants? What's the point of that? Well, you're just moving them from one to the other. I mean, you're going to kill them no matter what. That's a whole other thing. That's to make the masses, you know, a mixture of brown and the true white supremacists, the real ones like the royal families and the elite, they're the ones, that's like Queen Ursula. So no European leader has kids almost. Margrethe doesn't, Macron doesn't, Boris Johnson doesn't really count. That's a good point. There's a lot of leaders of the... The Queen's the last one.

30:44 Well, but here's what's happening. And it just all kind of came together in my head the other day. The queen, Queen Ursula, she has eight perfect beautiful German children, blonde hair, blue eyes, and that is celebrated. Sie ist der Mutti. So I think we're dealing with people... Planned Parenthood started as a eugenicist organization. Maybe it never stopped. No it didn't. It started as a birth control organization. It was never... From the... Okay.

31:22 I mean, we can just get into an argument on the show about this, but as far as I'm concerned, Planned Parenthood started off as a birth control organization, which was not associated with eugenicism, but eugenicists, which was kind of The eugenicist, okay let me give a little background the way I see it. Eugenicist movement began in the United States in the 20s. Yes sir. And it was a cool thing. It was considered, oh that's cool because this makes nothing but sense that we should breed ourselves to be better people. In fact, I think it may have influenced Hitler and the Nazis.

31:59 It totally influenced Hitler and the Nazis and that's what ruined it. Not that it was a good idea, personally, but kind of the trend in the United States was all of a sudden, oops, we can't do that because Hitler did it. He's ruined it for everybody. And then it's become an underground thing if it exists at all. And I say Planned Parenthood might now be a eugenicist organization. But they did not begin that way as far as I know. There's no evidence of that. I'll agree with you on the technicality. Margaret Sanger, however, was a eugenicist and she was proud of it during that period when it was yippee-ki-yay, it's a great idea.

32:38 I question that too, but I will put that in abeyance. But I question that. I think that is a rewrite of history. What's interesting is that that is now accepted in the leftist media. I hear it all the time. Well, we know we all know Margaret Sanger is problematic, but Planned Parenthood is really good. And I totally agree with you that Planned Parenthood is now probably part of some eugenicist agenda. Here's the thing that I discovered yesterday that blew me away. Charles Darwin, the origin of species, would you say that's to some degree the science of humankind, or the opposite of evolution? Is this work by Darwin? No. Which one was, I thought natural selection, I thought that was his whole theory. Yeah, well that's evolution. What did I say wrong? You said that Darwin was the antithesis of evolution.

33:37 No, I meant creation. I'm sorry. Yes, thank you for correcting me. The antithesis of the creation theory. Religion. Creationism. So do you know the original title of the book or the work, whatever it's called, The Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection? Because I didn't know this and it's right there on Wikipedia. The full title. Yeah, it's something that kind of alludes to creationism. No. Here it is, I'm looking at a scan of the cover. The origin of species by means of natural selection or the preservation of favored races in the struggle for life. Oh! When I saw that, I'm like... Oh yeah, I remember. Not yes, I'm... Yeah, you're right.

34:27 It's just one of those things. You're like, what is going on? Yeah, but this again, I will have to say that this is situational ethics. I mean, during different periods of time, people had certain ways of seeing things. Sure. And it was what you were raised in. This is what we're doing now. We're just reprogramming kids to think a different way. They could have been If things had been different, we could be programming kids to think the exact same thing that they were thinking back in the 1800s or the 1700s or the 1600s. And that's why I'm very adverse to people reverse engineering today's thinking to the past. I think it's unfair. And that's one of the reasons I think that trying to rename, this is a bunch of clips I got from Amy,

CHAPTER 10 / 42 Discussion

James Webb Telescope, LGBTQ Purge Controversy

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson rejected a petition from over 1,200 astronomers to rename the James Webb Space Telescope. The controversy stems from allegations that James Webb participated in the "Lavender Scare" purging of LGBTQ employees during the Truman administration. Activists on "Democracy Now" argue the name casts a pall over the scientific community.

35:15 Trying to rename the Webb Telescope to new James Webb Telescope to something else because James Webb was a anti-gay Yeah, this this has been going on for a while. They actually tried to change the name in Congress I think there was a bill to change it and it didn't didn't go anywhere. I have clips. Okay, if you want to hear Hello, hello, of course So let's go with Webb Telescope plus LGNTQ Democracy Now. This week NASA released the first images from its new flagship James Webb Space Telescope, the JWST, revealing an unprecedented view of the cosmos, from galaxies that formed just a few hundred million years after the Big Bang to the births of stars and vast nebulas of gas and dust.

36:10 The telescope is named after James Webb, who led NASA during the 60s in the run-up to the Apollo moon landings. Earlier this year, NASA Administrator Bill Nelson rejected a petition signed by over 1,200 astronomers and astrophysicists demanding a change to the telescope's name amidst new revelations about how Webb helped to purge NASA of LGBTQ plus workers as part of federal policy. As part of federal policy, he helped to purge. Yes, he was part of federal policy. Helped to purge. Oh, man. And this is the Truman administration that started the federal policy. Hello, Democrats. I just want to mention that to you. No context needed.

36:50 The second clip is the NASA versus the gays clip and I want to preface it with this comment about the woman who comes on. This is what would have been termed a lipstick lesbian, comes on years ago, comes on. No, but we still understand the context, thank you. And she's on and she has her pronouns on this, which has her name. Wait, what, Democracy Now puts pronouns on the screen as a lower third? Yeah. Oh no. Yes. Oh, everyone needs to do that. Okay. A newsflash. Every single news program, everyone needs to put the pronouns in the lower third. That's great. So hers are they, them. She's a lipstick lesbian. Why can't she, why should it have to be they, them? Well, I don't get that, but okay. It's okay. That's, that's, that's we're from, Hey, you know what? You can't reverse engineer history. So, uh, you got they, them and I'm thinking,

37:50 How do you use that in a sentence? I can understand... You're doing what you just said you hated people do. Words were different back in your era, John. Sexuality was different. I want you to tell me how you do this. I could say, they went to the store and then I want to say, them hair is brown? How do I say her hair is brown into them? Do I say them hair is brown? I don't participate in this. Come on, I want to hear. I don't care. I mean, you don't know. I hate it when people try. I don't get it. I would like an explanation of I know you could. It's easy to say they went to the store. OK, there is one person, but OK, I can live with that. They went to the store. Listen, but them hair is brown. I just can't figure out how you use that. If you don't stop, if you don't stop asking questions, them is going to come over and beat you up.

38:50 That's how you use it. It's not English anymore. Come on, English changes. Okay, well anyway, so here she is. I'm sorry, what did I do? I'm sorry. I dead named her. I did something wrong. Yep. Here they are. Here they is. Oh, that was the punchline. I like it. That was a good punchline. Here they is. telling us what what them doing what them doing the Way that NASA has dug in its heels about naming The telescope after James Webb has really cast a pall over that for me personally And I know for a lot of other queer astronomers as well You know I thought that this was one of okay. I do have one issue. I have one issue. I don't like

39:40 the hijack of the word queer. I really don't. It's not a hijack. It's a total hijack. Queer has been hijacked from the gays. And she's gay men. No, she's not. You misnamed her or whatever it's called. Are you going to do this the entire show? I can do this the entire show or is it just... Only during this segment. Only during this clip. Because she's the only... Oh, I did it too. They put the pronouns on there and they is what you what you term queer Was a gay a male gay term And of course the gays took gay gay from gay from I thought it was I thought queer was a

40:33 kind of an N word. No! From the 50s and 60s, from the 50s and 60s where it wasn't supposed to be used when you weren't supposed to call anyone queer. Right. They were homosexual. You couldn't call them queer. Queer was a bad word. Again, again we're trying to deconstruct what's happening now with past events. I hate it when people do that. Love you and me both, but that's what we do on the show. Anyway, uh, hateful things we do. Let's just finish this. We're never going to get through it. Uh, one of them finish times to release this documentary in part because I think we in the astronomy community have gone through a number of different methods to try and help NASA see

41:17 sense on this issue. I personally was a member of the Astrophysics Advisory Committee for NASA for many years until I resigned over this issue last fall. As part of that committee, we requested that there be an investigation and a report which has never been released. So, you know, I thought as part of Just Space and our producer and editor Katrina Jackson, who pitched this idea to us, you know, we really thought that laying out the case with the available information about the historical record and also showing its continuation into how queer astronomers are treated now in astronomy was an important thing to do in conjunction with this release of these new images. What?

42:03 It was very important how queer astronomers are treated. What, are they treated poorly? I missed it. Are they getting beaten up because they're quote queer? I've never heard anything like this. I've never heard that queer astronomers are being poorly treated. You know, this is kind of, you know, you're, okay, I'm going to agree with the point you're making ad nauseum. that this is a, that this is a, this is ground zero of the attack on your speech, certainly in the United States, but it's everywhere. And perhaps we should all just, and

CHAPTER 11 / 42 Discussion

Gender Ideology, UN School Indoctrination Claims

A discussion on the proliferation of gender identity terms and preferred pronouns in corporate and educational settings. A clip features a former nonprofit worker claiming that terms like "trans child" are corporate fictions and that the United Nations and UNESCO are driving the implementation of this language in schools globally.

unesco· pronouns· gender identity· indoctrination· public schools

42:43 I mean, there's people who I respect who work in corporate life and I get an email from them and it says, you know, pronoun, whatever, him, him, he, him, whatever it is. They're putting their pronouns in their email signatures and it's coercion. It really is the baseline coercion. One of my kids does it, one of your kids does it, and they're not really They're not jumping up and down and going all nuts, but they will correct you. They will try and set you straight. And that is deep, deep, deep. And because they're not freaking out about it, it's even scarier. If they were like,

43:23 like you did. No, like it's them. And so that's true. They're patronizing us at this point. They are, they're patronizing us. Which goes against godly parent and child relationship I would say. But if you want to know where it comes from, it's just a short clip. Someone sent this to me, it was on Instagram. This is a Well, maybe she's queer. I don't know. But she's talking about her work 10 years ago at an NGO. 10 years ago when I was working at an LGBT nonprofit, terms like transgender and gender identity, this was all extremely new. The general public didn't have any understanding or concept of what these terms were. There was no trans child. There is no such thing as a trans child. A trans child is a corporate fiction that doesn't exist.

44:13 This is a concept being forced onto children. But there was no such idea. There were like teenagers and stuff that identified as trans. And actually part of my job was going directly into the public schools in New York and work to indoctrinate youth with this new ideology and with these new terms. And not just indoctrinate the youth, but also indoctrinate the educators. And now indoctrination of youth is finally being exposed. People think like, where did all this come from? This just started happening. Like it's coming from the UN actually. The UN is telling schools all over the world to implement this language.

44:53 And there's some evidence to this that is UNESCO programs. I saw this clip. Oh, you did? And I didn't clip it because I didn't like the way it was edited personally and I thought they would like, I'd like to find a clip, the real clip. Yeah, of course. Because there's a bunch of talking about this and all of a sudden there's a clip in there. There's edits, there's edits. A lot of edits. But I thought it was compelling because What's the UN trying to do this for? What's the purpose of all this? What is the purpose of this otherwise normal astronomer demanding to be called they instead of she? Subversion, control. It's subtle. It's like you start with this and then before you know it you have to bow before them. Come on, this is how it starts. And we're all just talking about it, letting it happen.

45:51 Maybe we should stop doing it. I'm pretty sure you're not going to use they and thems on anybody, and if they don't want to talk to you, I know you will. It's too hard. You'll be like, well, F off. I can't say them hair is brown. Yeah, it's a reason. I can say her hair is brown, her hair is brown. Them hair is brown? I just don't see how that fits into any structure that's known to man. It's not. It's almost done on purpose just to make it sound like an idiot when you refer to the person. When you... Them hair is brown, huh? Them hair is brown. You sound like a moron. Yes. Hello, you're finally getting it. That's the whole point. They're turning you all into moronic beings. I'm very down on this. It's quite obvious to me today for some reason. It's like it's all coercion. It's all horseshit. All of it.

CHAPTER 12 / 42 Discussion

House Abortion Bills, Nancy Pelosi Mission

The U.S. House of Representatives passed two bills aimed at protecting abortion access following the overturning of Roe v. Wade. Speaker Nancy Pelosi framed the legislation as a defense of American freedom. However, the measures are considered dead on arrival in the Senate due to Republican opposition.

nancy pelosi· roe v wade· house of representatives· abortion rights· senate

46:44 And it's been going on kind of a little bit in the schools and stuff that was going on and we weren't seeing that. We weren't paying attention to that stuff. So let's hear some more about it. These schools stink. Yeah, well here's some more. People in education should be ashamed of themselves. Roe v. Wade. which I think kind of goes along with this strain, with this vein that we're speaking of. Here's two bills were introduced in the House. The House by the way today passed two abortion bills. Passed. Protecting access to abortion in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe. One protects women who travel across state lines to get an abortion and the providers who treat them. The other more sweeping measure would enshrine Roe vs Wade into law.

47:32 that both dead on arrival in the Senate. Senate Republicans have already rejected both. He could have done that much better. He could have said, the abortion bills are dead on arrival. That would have been funnier. But no, no puns, no puns for this. Wow, that is good. You should be a news writer. Well, here's Pelosi, because it's all about the woman. It's just it's not about anything else. It's not about anything else other than protecting women's rights. And we offer hope to the American people who treasure our freedoms and who are overwhelmingly with us in our mission to defend them. What do Republicans have in store next? You can't travel to buy a book.

48:09 You can't travel to see a concert or a play. If they doesn't meet their, shall we say, I'm going to use the word standards, their what? So it's political is really what it is. Thanks Nancy. We didn't realize it was political. I think the Democrats have a strategy though. Really? Yeah, I think they have. You want to hear just an off-the-wall idea? Well, I would love to. I'm sure any Democrats out there would love to too because I'm sure they're clueless. Go on. Well, unfortunately the Democrats don't control the strategy, but I think this is... well, they might a little bit.

CHAPTER 13 / 42 Discussion

Democratic Midterm Strategy, Starbucks City Closures

An analysis of the upcoming midterm elections suggests Democrats may face a "shellacking" due to high inflation and urban instability. Starbucks recently closed 16 locations in cities like Los Angeles and Seattle due to safety concerns for employees. The discussion posits that the Federal Reserve's actions will dictate voter satisfaction with the eventual Republican majority.

midterms· starbucks· inflation· federal reserve· urban decay

48:52 Here's just a version of what could happen. The midterm elections, I think that's pretty obvious. Democrats are going to come in, they'll have a majority in the House probably, and I would say most likely in the Senate. And some other things will happen. It's not even 100% sure, but it seems like people say, oh, it's going to be a shellacking, I think is your term. And I think that's true. And I think that's true. I haven't used shellacking on this show for at least a decade. You're a shellacker. You're a shellacker if I ever saw one. So they get in and the central bank, the Federal Reserve, will keep really... They won't do the right thing so that by the time 2024 rolls around,

49:42 We're going to be so mad at the Republicans that they didn't do anything. And, you know, and then maybe the Fed will do a 180 somewhere and change it. But I think it's the money that controls how happy people will be with the Republicans. There's nothing the Republican Party or the Democratic Party can actually do to lower inflation. That's just not, they can't. I mean, yeah, I guess they could say let's turn on the drilling pumps and stuff, but you know, really is that going to bring down the price quickly? No. Drilling pumps. Whatever. You got a drilling pump over there, Bill? I need it over here. Hey, Bob, why don't you go blow me? I'm just trying to make an example.

50:22 You know, so it's, I think that that may be, then everyone will be really sick of four years of desperation and, you know, the cities may really be shit. I mean, you can't even get a Starbucks anymore in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or... That would be just the opposite of shit. But did you hear that they closed 16 Starbucks because it's just too dangerous for the employees? Where did they close them? San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland. Hello. Yeah, those are your dangerous cities. I don't know why anybody does business there. They should pull out everything. I wouldn't. They should turn. Look, San Francisco,

51:00 Might as well be Cleveland and I don't want to not insulting Cleveland or but I've been to Cleveland I've been to downtown st. Louis the main part you go on to be in st. Louis where it's safe You don't you're not in st. Louis. You're outside of st. Louis. All right, st. Louis is a rough town San Francisco is might as well be and I'm surprised that these cities haven't become this already You know, they might as well be a Detroit San Francisco might as well be Cleveland, it might as well be St. Louis. It's a city like that, it's falling apart internally. People should pull out of there. And that's why you're staying? I'm not in San Francisco. I wouldn't live in San Francisco if it was the last thing going. I thought I would never live in San Francisco. You're living in the bleachers looking at the show.

51:44 Yeah. Anyway, I'm in the cheap seats. So this is kind of my thinking about how that might go. And maybe that's why the Democrats, you know, they're just not going to be that worried. They know it's it's and this is also the way cycles go, but they really want that 2024 and NPR. Well, they're clueless. So that's what the Republicans actually will have. And Kamala Harris, which is to your point, yes. Exactly. I mean, what, Biden's going to endorse her right away? Then they definitely lose in 2024, not endorse her. Those weekly lunches are going to be awkward. No good options except Joe Biden on the left. So those polls are about how much Democrats are satisfied with Biden. They are not about him running again. On the right, I would

52:43 I went back and looked at polling, you know, going back 20, 30 years when we've had sort of our current primary system, and there has never been a candidate so far ahead of the field as Ron DeSantis, if you take out Donald Trump. He's running 20 plus points ahead of every other Republican. So if you were rational and there were people in charge of the Republican Party, what that would mean is that you have a two-person race between Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis And there's plenty of evidence that Ron DeSantis could win in that head-to-head race. But we don't live in a rational world. No one's in charge of the Republican Party and that's absolutely not what's going to happen. You're gonna have a whole lot of people throw their hat in the ring because no one learned anything from 2016. I should have mentioned this is the NPR podcast where apparently you get started at NPR. God, this was nuts!

CHAPTER 14 / 42 Discussion

Ron DeSantis Polling, January 6th Committee Ratings

Polling data shows Florida Governor Ron DeSantis leading the Republican field by 20 points if Donald Trump is excluded. Meanwhile, the January 6th Committee, led behind the scenes by Liz Cheney, is preparing for a primetime "season finale" hearing on July 25th. Critics argue the committee is focused on television ratings rather than legislative substance.

ron desantis· liz cheney· donald trump· npr· january 6th committee

51:44 Yeah. Anyway, I'm in the cheap seats. So this is kind of my thinking about how that might go. And maybe that's why the Democrats, you know, they're just not going to be that worried. They know it's it's and this is also the way cycles go, but they really want that 2024 and NPR. Well, they're clueless. So that's what the Republicans actually will have. And Kamala Harris, which is to your point, yes. Exactly. I mean, what, Biden's going to endorse her right away? Then they definitely lose in 2024, not endorse her.

You're gonna have a whole lot of people throw their hat in the ring because no one learned anything from 2016. I should have mentioned this is the NPR podcast where apparently you get started at NPR. God, this was nuts!

53:38 But again, you stepped on my territory by pulling in the idea that the Democrats are clueless about Biden. and they want to run him again. Oh no, no, no, I alley-ooped for you. What are you talking about? That wasn't alley-ooping. Well, I mean, I'm not going to say it's a good clip. I didn't get it. I didn't get it. I can't blame anybody but myself. Well, how about this? This is good. So maybe the idea is to, you know, not really let Trump go. He may be shooting his wad too early. Look, there's no way he can run in 20 2022, so it has to be 2024 and it's a long way off. A lot of stuff, you know, they could be, as I said, on MSNBC with Chuck Todd. They could just be waiting for him to die. But, you know, we have a team that's working very hard. If she can get reelected, she'll continue on the gold team. Have you heard of the gold team?

54:30 No, but I'm about to. Yeah, I would say Liz Chien is the most powerful. This is Luke Broadwater, reporter for the New York Times. Wait, wait for it. You know, I want to preface this. We introduced this stupid idea because somebody suggested it in some politico. Some moron suggested this idea probably a month or two ago. And we kind of laughed it off. I think I brought it in again maybe a few weeks ago, but this keeps cropping up like this is insanity. But please play. Yeah, I would say Liz Chen is the most powerful behind the scenes driving force on the committee.

55:13 Everybody I talk to says, you know, we've got some very aggressive Democrats on this committee, people who are known as very fierce fighters against Donald Trump. That's sort of the reputation. And all of them say Liz Cheney is tougher and more aggressive than we are behind the scenes. And Liz Cheney also, because of her role with the so-called gold team, which is the team investigating Donald Trump, she's been sort of overseeing that team. And so she has access to some of these depositions and interviews that other members and staff don't necessarily have. And sometimes I hear from staffers who are completely surprised by something Liz Cheney will bring out at the last minute.

55:51 But that's part of the, I think, the success and the drama of these hearings is they do have teasers and they have cliffhangers. And they've embraced the sort of elements of television that are not normally present in a Capitol Hill hearing. And that's why I think that they're getting something like an average of 14 million viewers for these hearings, which I think is unheard of for your normal congressional hearing. I'm glad you called bullshit because this is exactly what's happening with these people. They are convinced that, and of course the producer, the ex-ABC News guy, they're convinced that they've made something beautiful. This is a work of art. This is Emmy award winning shit right here. Good job everybody. Wow. Okay, that's the run through. We'll see you at today's dress rehearsal. I mean, they love it. They're in Hollywood now and they think the ratings are great.

56:47 That's what a producer does. If they think they're getting 14 million viewers, they've got to screw loose. This thing runs at 9 in the morning. They had one instance. It's not prime time anymore. The first one. The first one had 12 or maybe 14 million viewers. The very first one, which was prime time. And it was on every single network. It was on ABC, NBC, CBS. These are all prime time networks. And it was on Fox. You and I can get $14 million if we just sit there and look in the camera as goofballs. As long as every station runs it. If every station is running, you're going to get a lot of views. But once they went to once they added up the fact that they're not making any money and they were only only get maybe three million true numbers per network. They just bailed on the thing. It's not get it's probably getting less than a million. Anyway, so the producer has a I like the 14. Nice try, buddy. Deluded.

57:44 The producer has arranged for the season finale, because it's just season one, the season finale to end on the 25th of July. They didn't call it that, did they? No, that's what I'm calling it. Dude, that would have been top of the show if they had done that. No, they did not call it. But the season finale will be on July 25th. That will once again be in prime time. So perhaps all the networks will run it again and, you know, They just, and then just let Trump ride on that and then you know, we'll get the new Congress in and the news cycle will slow down and he'll have to rekindle it and maybe he'll die or maybe we can make the economy so bad that people won't even come to Trump rallies anymore. Can't afford the gas. I don't know. I mean, it's, it seems

CHAPTER 15 / 42 Discussion

Ray Epps, AOC White Supremacist Claims

The role of Ray Epps in the January 6th Capitol riot remains a point of contention, with some alleging he was an FBI provocateur. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has interpreted the events differently, suggesting that bad actors within the Capitol Police and federal agencies were motivated by white supremacy.

ray epps· aoc· january 6th· fbi· capitol police

58:35 It seems like that's kind of the only way they can go. They have no clue. You're right. I made a point in the newsletter. I asked the question if these Democrats are so worried about Trump that they try doing anything they can to get him out of the picture. Why are they worried about him? They're numbers themselves. They already know Biden beat him once, Biden can beat him again. Maybe they blame the poor performance of the Republicans who take over, which of course is not, nothing they can help. Maybe that poor performance, but see, you're Trump guy. It's all you're Trump guy. See, told you Trump guy. I mean, anything like that is possible. We talked about AOC interpreting these hearings differently.

59:16 And I have the clip now. Thank you, producer, who sent that to me. This is about the obvious feds, including the guy that, you know, no one just was never, never even questioned. Apparently, he's just not in jail. What's his name? Ray Epps. Yeah, Jan 6. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I say. The committee. Yeah. Yeah. The committee. This is all about January 6. Yeah. Why didn't they bring that guy forward? The FBI phony. Yeah. Well, of course. So there were tons of feds But the way, so the way we interpret that is, okay, these are agent provocateurs, you know, they may have kicked it off or they may, you know, it seems like this one guy Ray Epps who, you know, is not getting the same treatment as people who've done similar things like telling people let's go into the Capitol, which is, you know, in view of what people are being held for and some convicted for would be an offense. So he seems like a fed. In fact, this video of people calling him a fed.

1:00:16 But AOC, the hot tamale! Props to Alex Stein. She interprets this completely differently. Listen. So the cops held the door open, says AOC. Okay. All right. And she thinks that these were just bad actors inside the Capitol Police and federal agencies. Oh yeah, they were white supremacists. Hello. Well, okay. So now we come to Malcolm Nance. Who doesn't remember Malcolm Nance? Very brave American hero. Do you know Malcolm Nance? The brave American hero. He's the CIA guy? Well, he's the ex-intelligence. I think, what was he, CIA ex?

CHAPTER 16 / 42 Discussion

Malcolm Nance, Ukraine Combat Claims, Insurgency Book

Former intelligence officer Malcolm Nance appeared on MSNBC to discuss his time in Ukraine and his new book about a domestic American insurgency. Nance claimed to be part of a command team in Ukraine while carrying a weapon, though he did not engage in direct fire. He characterized Trump-supporting Caucasian voters as a threat to the U.S. Constitution.

malcolm nance· msnbc· ukraine· insurgency· tiffany cross

1:01:23 CIA guy and he decided that he was one of those guys whatever's he's he's one of those guys that is like the McMullin character using some connections to some intelligence agency to leverage his own career standing in the world correct Which is appalling by the way well I always thought these agencies were all altruistic, but I don't see any evidence of it with these guys It's about to get worse for you. So when Ukraine when Russia provoked Ukraine, when Russia invaded Ukraine unprovoked... I have to say it right, I'm not getting the script right.

1:02:01 Unprovoked, Nance felt an incredible urge. He had to go. A nurge. A nurge. Hold on. He had a nurge. He had to go over there. A nurge. I don't know where that came from. I like it. So he had a nurge and this nurge was to go there and fight and fight for democracy for Ukrainians. So I have two clips that pertain to January 6th, but here's the setup. It's one minute. of him just, you know, because, you know, he's back. He's back now. And you know what? He was fighting the Russians, but he had time to write a book. So that's why he's here. He's with Tiffany Cross.

1:02:47 MSNBC. But we have to hold that line because what's behind us is what's most important. That's the innocent men, women and children of Ukraine. And we're there with almost 900,000 other people holding 3,000, it's about 2,500 kilometers of war front against Russia.

1:03:23 So did you actually engage in combat, physical combat over there? Well, I'm part of the intelligence apparatus. I haven't actually fired my firearm at a Russian, but I carry a firearm every day. We do get bombarded. We do actually send artillery back. With UPS? How do you send it back, Nance? The Elmett sort of war. When the war goes more kinetic, of course, because I'm part of the command team, we have to be prepared to fight. He's part of the command team for the intelligence unit. And I carry a weapon with me at all times. And I write a book while I'm doing this important intelligence work.

1:04:04 So, this book, when I was over there I realized something about America. It was bad, it was bad back home. That's why I'm back to fight here back home. That all sounds very frightening, the war happening in Ukraine. I wonder... That all... This is the most sincere thing she could have said. That all sounds really frightening. That intelligence work you're doing as a part of the combat brigade. That all sounds very frightening, the war happening in Ukraine. I wonder what a war here in this country might look like. A war! And that's what your book is essentially about because you just faced off with people who were trying to kill Americans. You are coming home to people who you say are also trying to kill Americans. Hold on a second!

1:04:47 Are the Russians trying to kill Americans? I guess so. That's what she just said. That's what it sounds like. You just came back from a war where people are trying to kill Americans. But she said Americans trying to kill Americans, not Ukrainians. Oh, you mean Ukraine? Yeah, but that's what they do there. You are coming home to people who you say are also trying to kill Americans. Tell me who you're talking about. Back it up. Back it up. I want to hear the whole thing again. might look like. And that's what your book is essentially about because you just faced off with people who were trying to kill Americans. You are coming home to people who you say are also trying to kill Americans. Tell me who you're talking about. You know, I juxtapose my time in Ukraine as that being the Eastern theater in the defense of global democracy.

1:05:33 And every once in a while, I hear what's going on back in the States. I take a look at my Twitter feed. I look over my shoulder at the Western wall in the defense of democracy here in the United States, and it's collapsing. It appears to be collapsing. We have, you know, when I predicted this on November 6th, 2020, when I was on real time with Bill Maher, everybody was saying, kumbaya, time to shake hands, time to understand what they really want. I'm seeing something completely different. I'm seeing an insurgency form. And that is a campaign to destabilize the sitting government. And 62 days later, the first strike of that insurgency would happen, which was the insurrection here at the Capitol. An insurgency is a long-term campaign. It's not a one day thing.

1:06:19 And you've seen since that time, they have been pushing their campaign both politically and threats of paramilitary and personal action. Okay, there's a lot in there to digest. Well, let's go. I want to digest one thing from the first clip you played. He says that there's a tooth. He says they're on the front lines with the Russians. Yeah, he's got a gun by his side. He's not shooting at him, but he's there. And he says the front, the Russian, the front is 2000 miles. Yes. Two thousand miles. Two and a half. Do you know the distance from San Diego to Seattle is 1,200 miles? So you're telling me... What is this? What kind of a front line is it that's 2,000 miles of fighting? Come on, you dumb shit. Nice.

1:07:10 Yeah, I mean it's very obvious what he's come home to do in this book that he's written. He's an amazing man that he had time to defend Americans being killed in Ukraine and without firing his weapon once and to be in the command team. But he also, don't forget, carries it. He does carry it at all times. And he would send some, when they had something incoming, they'd send it back like, oh, dear Putin, I'm going to send this back to you. Call the FedEx, scan the code. So yeah, of course, but it's just in case it wasn't obvious what he's really talking about. I think we can kind of figure it out, can't we? I really believe, you know, I'm a Philadelphian. I'm an originalist on this thing. I'm offended, deeply offended when I see people use the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States to justify trying to invent a world that is strictly limited to one ethnic group in the United States.

1:08:04 These are the same, you know, I'm talking about, you know, Trump supporting Caucasian voters. I'm sorry, but that's who your demographic is. Trump supporting Caucasian voters. Trump supporting Caucasian voters. So they're voters, they're Caucasian and they support Trump. This is your problem. That's what it sounds like. That's your demographic right there. That is the same people as, in fact, they are Russians. They're actually Russians because they also want to kill Americans. And don't you dare tell me about something. I'm a Philadelphian. The city of brotherly love. I'm a traditional constitutionalist. In the United States. These are the same, you know, I'm talking about, you know, Trump supporting Caucasian voters. I'm sorry, but that's who your demographic is. Yeah. You know, if I had to do an intelligence analysis from... Listen to the black lady go, yeah.

1:08:54 This is so embarrassing for these people. No, he's not working for them. I'm sure they wrote the book for him. MI6 is a bigger enemy than we realize. I'm quite convinced of that. current strength and how strongly they feel about Donald Trump gives them an advantage that should wipe out all equality in America. They want to remove the words diversity from America. They want to remove the words equality from government documents. No, we only want to remove the pronouns they and them. That's all. This is what we fought

1:09:51 fought for. When my great-great-grandfather and his brother ran away from slavery, their first thought wasn't, oh, let's go up to Mississippi and get jobs. It was, let's go to Tennessee, get into the U.S. Army uniform, and fight for what little incremental progress we can make. But they weren't fighting just for black slaves who had run away. They were fighting for all America. My family serves for all America. I still serve for America by giving you this warning. But if you're a real You'll look at yourself and say, hey, wait, wait a minute. Am I part of this? Am I am I here to use the Constitution as a fig leaf and tear away all the rights from your other fellow citizens? I mean, well, there's that old term. I bring it up once in a while. It's called the shuck and jive artist. Yeah. Yeah. And this guy seems to be one of them. So.

1:10:42 Yeah, this is programming somebody, it's making somebody feel good. And how is the Constitution being used as a fig leaf? I'm not quite sure I understand. I don't know what he's talking about. Maybe he meant as a wedge? Well, that's kind of... He is kind of... He has a bit of Sharpton-esque in him because, you know... He just, his grammar is proper unlike Sharpton, but he just says weird shit. It's just like, what? What are you talking about? And we have to go look and see if he used the word insurgency on Bill Maher when he was on. I don't remember that, maybe he did. It might be hard to use. Anyway, what's happening, the war in Ukraine... I'll go back and find it if it's available. The war in Ukraine is of course a war against Americans. The Russians killing Americans. But it's a problem that the messaging is dying down. It's not really front news. I think we don't actually have Americans dying or Europeans dying. That's part of the marketing problem of this.

CHAPTER 17 / 42 Discussion

NATO Animated Video, Russia Disinformation Myths

NATO released an animated video intended to debunk "myths" spread by Russia. The video asserts that NATO is a defensive alliance that does not seek confrontation and clarifies that no formal treaty ever prohibited the alliance's eastward expansion after the Cold War.

nato· russia· disinformation· cold war· article 10

1:11:44 And it's being just used, you know, it's been concatenated to or abstracted to Putin's prize hike. And that has to include the war in Ukraine. So NATO needs to combat these false, false rumors about Russia, about what's really going down, how this took place and, you know, because it's disinformation. So they made a beautiful animated video to share with us exactly that. Russia continues to spread lots of false myths about NATO. So let us set the record straight. One myth is that NATO is aggressive towards Russia and is trying to encircle it. This is not true.

1:12:26 NATO is a defensive alliance. Its purpose is to protect its allies. NATO does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia. Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. Russia has subscribed to this fundamental principle. We stay true to it and invite Russia to do the same. Another myth is that NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War. No such agreement was ever concluded. NATO's door has been open to new members since it was founded in 1949, and this has never changed. This open-door policy is also enshrined in Article 10 of NATO's founding treaty. Decisions about membership are taken by consensus among all Allies.

1:13:11 No treaty signed by the United States, Europe and Russia includes provisions regarding NATO membership. The myths need to be dismantled. The record needs to be set straight. Thanks, NATO. So, you understand now? Russia is full of shit, of course it is. They're full of shit. Russia is just not, it's all not true. There's so much... I would call it outright cover-up going on right now, certainly about Russia stuff and when it comes to the primetime purge. Last night we were skimming around through what can we watch. There's not much going on, but there's a new series. The new series is on Netflix, Web of Make Believe, Death, Lies and the Internet.

CHAPTER 18 / 42 Discussion

Ron Howard, Seth Rich Netflix Documentary

The Netflix series "Web of Make Believe," produced by Ron Howard, features an episode on the death of DNC staffer Seth Rich. Critics argue the documentary is a "whitewash" that ignores forensic evidence regarding file transfer speeds and the role of CrowdStrike, focusing instead on the harassment of the Rich family by conspiracy theorists.

ron howard· seth rich· netflix· crowdstrike· web of make believe

1:14:04 And you probably haven't seen this, but we looked at the first episode and it was something that was actually kind of decent, you know, but I don't remember what it was. It was some scam that people pull on the internet. And I said, this is really, this is, this is produced... Actually, I should probably look at that. I should see what that was, which one it was. And I thought, you know, this is kind of decent. It's all right. It looked really well made. And so, you know, while we're watching the first episode, I look it up and it's Ron Howard. Ron Howard is a... has produced this and I think he might... He's no slouch. Well, he's no slouch. He's also a massive insider for the Democratic Party, I would say. He's a huge woke Democrat stooge, let's put it that way. The first one was Death by SWAT, which is very compelling because, you know, this swatting of people where you call the SWAT team and it happens amongst gamers a lot and happens to Tim Pool a lot and then this is

1:15:04 There are stories of this guy who did 37 swattings. He had courtrooms evacuated with his phony calls. And then one time, one of these gamers gave him a, said, oh, come and swap me, punk. And he gave his old address. And the guy over there just opened the door and got shot by the cops. So I was like, oh, this is pretty compelling. But I think that was just to draw us into episode two, a murder in DC. And this is about Seth Rich. Ah. Oh, they leave out any mention. of the transfer of the files, you know, and I had to show Tina, I had to show Tina William Binney where they, they did forensic evidence, you know, like, no, no, this was transferred to a storage box. Obviously Ron Howard would bring Binney on the show. No, no, no mention of Binney. Ron Howard would bring Binney on because it makes nothing but sense. Not even mention of what's in the emails, you know, like Donna Brazil and all the, none of that.

1:16:05 Debbie Wasserman Schultz had to resign over what was in those emails. This is Podesta level shit. And then they put that in there. What? No, no, no, no, of course not. What would be in there? Nothing? No, it was like yoga, yoga things, recipes, joking back and forth. No mention of any of this. What they had mention of is Rod Wheeler and all these, you know, but but Kowski and all these weirdos who showed up to get on the news and these poor parents are like, we didn't tell them to do that. And so they kept getting kind of hoodwinked by

1:16:43 I would say, you know, like Alex Jones wannabes, people who have a little bit of cash and they'll do some get some investigation going and then they go on TV and then they just start spouting and spouting and it's a mess for those people. But no, no discussion of any of the things that we know even well, you know, the server went to CrowdStrike in Ukraine. You know, no mention the FBI never really saw it. All of this stuff. Just the guy from CrowdStrike going, yeah, yeah, yeah. So what you're telling me is Ron Howard basically just did a whitewash video just to do a cover up for the Democratic Party. Yes.

1:17:21 Yes. Okay, well good for him. But why? What are they worried of? I mean, are people that close to spilling the beans that somehow magically this will flow across the M5M? What are they worried about? Nothing seems to penetrate. I have no idea what they're worried about because it's so water under the bridge-ish that it shouldn't concern anybody. Exactly. There must be something. You're right. There must have to be something that's big and they have to continue to cover it up. So, and there's a lot of articles about that. I put a couple in the show notes. A lot of people tried to help me out with this, and I really appreciate the Clip Custodian. He pulled it out of his butt. Since we're talking about cover up and the media not reporting truthfully, he made us a little supercut of reasons why people are dying. Guess what it does not include?

CHAPTER 19 / 42 Discussion

Medical Alert Supercut, Heart Attack Triggers

A montage of news reports lists various unconventional triggers for heart attacks, including calcium supplements, cannabis, energy drinks, traffic noise, loneliness, and shoveling snow. The segment highlights the frequent use of the phrase "guess what" in medical journalism to deliver alarming health news.

heart attacks· medical alerts· energy drinks· shoveling snow· depression

1:18:18 In tonight's Medical Alert, calcium supplements are so popular, but a recent study shows they can increase your chances of a heart attack. Studies show chemicals in cannabis are linked to an increased risk of heart attacks. You might be vaping as a step toward quitting cigs thinking it's less bad, right? But guess what? It looks like it's just as bad for your heart. So tell us about this link between shoveling snow and heart attacks. Energy drink monster. Can it kill? The FDA says it has received reports of five deaths and one heart attack. They found that people who live near higher levels of traffic noise had a higher risk of having a heart attack. A recent study found being lonely and socially isolated can contribute to the risk for heart disease. 20% of people who present with either a heart attack

1:19:06 or what we call an acute coronary syndrome actually have depression. The report indicates that particle pollution could cause an increased risk of heart attacks, strokes. Your risk of getting a heart attack increases if you work out while you're stressed. Adults who ate several eggs per week had significantly higher cholesterol and were more susceptible to cardiovascular disease and death. Believe in Advil already cautioned users about possible heart risks. Now the FDA is strengthening those warnings. They've raised it from these may cause an increased risk of heart attack and stroke to they do cause an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Just a sampling, just a little sampling. Gardening is gonna kill you. Being lonely will kill you.

1:19:49 You're gonna have a heart attack. Looking at the sky. Oh, don't look at the sun. Oh, washing the car. Washing the car. For sure. Washing the car. That'll kill you. I love the working out while you're stressed. A lot of people work out to relieve stress. Oh, no, that'll kill you. That'll kill you. So if you... My favorite thing which I heard in there, which is not about the heart attack, but the common use of guess what? during the report. So people have a heart attack, guess what? And then they get guess what? And they just throw out guess what? And I'm always, you know me. You're always guessing. Should I stop and guess? That's the point. So what is the point of that NLP, the neurological

CHAPTER 20 / 42 Discussion

Marty McCary, Johns Hopkins Doctor on Muzzling

Dr. Marty McCary of Johns Hopkins University claims that doctors at the NIH, CDC, and FDA are being muzzled by the White House. He reports that scientists are frustrated by the bypassing of normal protocols and the rejection of sampling data plans. McCary argues that public health leaders must show more humility to restore medical trust.

marty mccary· johns hopkins· cdc· fda· vaccine efficacy

1:20:33 Neuro-linguistic programming trick. What is it? Guess what? Is that to get your attention? Like, oh, now my brain is going and I guess... Well, there's two things that are used as that sort of filler. One is guess what? The other one is you know what? Which is also a question. You know what? I always say yes. Fuck off. I do. Go away. So if you're wondering why is it that no one's really speaking up about things that might be actually happening, it's because everyone's constrained. Everybody's constrained, including doctors. And this guy's been around. I'm not quite sure how he as a doctor at Johns Hopkins is allowed to do this. He's been doing it since, I think we have a clip from him from March of 2021, Marty McCary.

1:21:22 He just lays it out there why you're not hearing about people actually having adverse events to vaccination. Doctors everywhere in the world, even in the government, should always be free to speak up about their public health concerns. That is a sacred right that we have to guard. But right now, in the government, recently, and this is a trend in the last year, doctors are muzzled. I've talked to many doctors for this piece at NIH and CDC. who are extremely frustrated. They're smart people. They know that a vaccine efficacy of 4% doesn't warrant an authorization. They also know that there's no health emergency right now among kids six months of age. So I learned a lot. They know the underlying data. They know it's inappropriate. They're not allowed to speak to anyone. If a reporter calls, the communications office has to approve the conversation.

1:22:15 And if they want to ask the scientists whether or not they want to do this, they'll say, tell us what you're going to tell the reporter and then we'll decide whether or not to approve it. At the CDC, a bunch of scientists actually said, look, we recognize the insanity of mass testing, trying to chase down every case of the virus in the United States. It's ubiquitous now. It's not contained. So they came up with a plan to use sampling data like we do with influenza every year and to get better numbers from the hospital of those truly in there for COVID, not just everybody with incidental COVID tests. And that plan was proposed and it was rejected and they say it was rejected by the White House. And over and over in the different agencies, I heard from smart people

1:22:58 who are just extremely frustrated that not only are they bypassing the normal scientific process, but they really can't say anything because if they do, they know that their jobs are at risk and they'll be treated very differently. One person even said there's no transparency as to how Dr. Fauci makes his decisions. He doesn't even consult with the real experts. And other people have said other things like it's demoralizing, that One person at the FDA, even who knows the data really well, said that they feel that they're watching a horror show and they can't close their eyes. They're being forced to watch this. If public health wants to restore some credibility, and there's good people in public health, they've been sidelined. The leaders have to have more humility, less absolutism.

1:23:46 More answers like we don't know when that's the right answer and less paternalism. That's the only way we're going to rebuild trust in the medical profession and in public health. Again, I don't know how he's allowed to do this as being employed by Johns Hopkins, but it rings true. Luckily, two doctors went to the Tennessee government and they testified in the Tennessee House. How do I know they're doctors? They were wearing lab coats. This is very good guys. Keep that up. We need that and this kind of speak. 700,000 people in the study in Israel just so you know that showed that the double vax were 27 times more likely to get reinfected. So it's not the vaccine even if we just talk about that is not stopping infection. It's not stopping transmission. If you look at the studies

CHAPTER 21 / 42 Discussion

Natural Immunity, Italian Beach Deaths

Testimony in the Tennessee House suggests that natural immunity is durable and potentially lifelong, citing studies from Israel and the UK. Separately, reports from Italy indicate that 11 vacationers died suddenly on beaches within a 24-hour period, with no official cause immediately identified.

natural immunity· sars-cov-1· italy· sudden death· tennessee

1:24:37 In England, in Scotland, in the northern countries in Europe where they get real data that they're actually the triple vaccinated, the most likely to die. So bottom line is that as we go forward, the natural immunity is long, broad and durable. And I don't know if you mentioned it, but we have SARS-CoV-1 patients who still had immunity 18 years later. Let that sink in. 18 years later, we still had immunity from SARS-CoV-1 to SARS-CoV-2. This is long, broad, durable immunity. So what I want to say in closing is natural immunity should be considered legally to be at least equal to vaccinated immunity and immunity is likely lifelong. Thank you. Just like, guess what? I don't like it when someone says, let that sink in. Why don't you just shut up for three seconds and let that sink in? What's the other one? There's another one that's, uh, is think about it. Think about it. Well, that's Biden does think about it.

1:25:37 A couple more. Oh, this just in from Italy. Sudden and unexpected, at least 11 vacationers drop dead on Italian beaches in 24 hours. Must be the sun. Maybe it's the bikinis. Bikinis are killing people. It could be the fruit juice, who knows? Bikinis killing people. Drop dead. Yeah. Oh no, we're going to hear a lot about this. Geert van den Bosch is back. He's the guy that has been saying since early on, you do not mass vaccinate. This is not a good idea. Tears will come. And he's calling, now he's tripling down on his predictions. He's saying it, I'm sorry, I hate to have to say it, but here's what's going to happen. He does give us some solutions.

CHAPTER 22 / 42 Discussion

Geert van den Bosch, Antiviral Recommendation

Immunologist Geert van den Bosch warns that mass vaccination is creating a breeding ground for more virulent COVID-19 variants. He advises those vaccinated early in the pandemic to seek antivirals, as he believes their innate immunity has been compromised. The discussion also notes an unusual increase in bulk orders for youth-sized caskets.

geert van den bosch· immunology· antivirals· innate immunity· variants

1:26:23 Because he taught us, I think on the last episode we played a clip, we said because of the vaccinations and what they do to the immune system, the vaccinated are literally creating variants and their immune system just may give up eventually and not be able to handle any of it anymore. And by the way, again, he does give, he has some very specific examples, stuff you can do. I'm not trying to fear monger. I don't think this will happen to everybody. You know, I don't think, oh, everyone who's vaccinated is going to die. But we don't know. So let's see what Geert has to say. To realize that most of the vaccinees that are coming to the hospital right now, they are still not, you know, the majority is still not hospitalized because of COVID-19.

1:27:14 These are typically the patients that are suffering from other diseases because of, I would say, immune suppression due to COVID. So they are hospitalized with COVID, but they come with a number of other diseases. Now, what will happen next, I tell you, what will happen next is that finally, These people, they are a breeding ground for the more virulent variants of COVID-19 that ultimately, when the virus manages, and that will happen, manages to overcome the virulence,

1:27:51 neutralizing activity that is now exerted by the infection enhancing antibodies, right? When the virus will overcome that activity, you know, the virulence neutralizing or virulence inhibiting activity of these antibodies, then what we will see all of a sudden is that the virus that is highly infectious in those people, you know, will completely resist any last immune defense against virulence and will blow not only through the innate immune system, but even through the adaptive immune system. And that is why I'm saying, you know, I, you know, for me, that is not fun at all to kind of like discriminate vaccines. And my heart goes out to these people. What I'm telling is that there is an urgent need, an urgent need to make antivirals, you know, available to these people. And it needs to

1:28:44 to go very, very fast. I recommend everyone who is thoroughly vaccinated, especially those who got vaccinated early on during the pandemic because they had no opportunity to train their innate immunity, right? And they just have their vaccinal antibodies that will be completely worthless and that will even enhance the disease. to get the hands-on antivirus, because otherwise what we are going to see, I mean, I have no doubt about this, is huge rates of severe morbidity and mortality. To begin with, in people who have been vaccinated early on in the vaccination program, before they even had a chance to be exposed to the virus and to train them to some extent their innate immunity. That is what we are going to see.

1:29:35 So what I didn't clip, but you can only guess what he had to say about inoculation or vaccination of mRNA with infants six months and older. He said this is a disaster. The children don't get a chance to develop, as you heard him talking about, your innate immunity. And he says, particularly people who were never exposed to the virus early on who got vaccinated right away. And he says, I hate to discriminate, but you guys are screwed, or potentially. And if you keep on boosting, then you're going to need antivirus for all the crap that's going to come down the pike. And of course, if you look up COVID antivirals... Who is this guy? This is Geert van der Bosch. This is the guy. Oh, the guy, the anti... Yeah, he's the guy that has very highly, highly accredited, you know, McCullough level type guy in immunology.

1:30:28 And he says, you know, you got to get antivirals. Of course, if you if you just immediately search covid antivirals, what pops up remdesivir and Paxilovir. Remdesivir is dangerous. Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't say that. But if you look a little bit further, I mean, people are saying ivermectin, oregano. Yeah. But I think Tamiflu, I think Tamiflu and Cipro and because it's not it's not about the covid. It's all the other stuff you won't be able to fight off. That's the way I understand it. Yeah, maybe. What is indisputable, and I didn't clip this, I'll just read it to you, is people who notice death rates going up, these people are typically working the health insurance or life insurance industry. But there's a full interview, you can look at it, link in the show notes, of a family business for 30 years, they've been making caskets. This is usually a pretty good bellwether. Typically, the casket industry remains pretty stable.

1:31:25 And an unusually big casket order usually indicates a traumatic event, but recent sales indicate this has changed. Not only are sales up, but in the past for every five full-size caskets we sold, we sold one youth size. Now for every five, it's two. They say they're receiving bulk orders for smaller size caskets first in their 30-year history. Well, heaven forbid the news media look into these stories. Seems like something you'd want to look into. It sounds like some good writing. You know, I had this Pulitzer in this for someone. Instead, here's what we get on CNN. Should people be masking indoors again, given the extra infectious nature of this new variant? Well, as the CDC makes it very clear, depending upon the density of infection and the dynamics of infection,

CHAPTER 23 / 42 Discussion

Anthony Fauci, Masking and Booster Updates

Dr. Anthony Fauci appeared on CNN to recommend indoor masking in "orange" zones due to high infection dynamics. He also confirmed that the FDA is actively considering a second booster shot for Americans under the age of 50. Questions remain regarding why the Pfizer vaccine continues to operate under Emergency Use Authorization rather than full approval.

1:30:28 And he says, you know, you got to get antivirals. Of course, if you if you just immediately search covid antivirals, what pops up remdesivir and Paxilovir. Remdesivir is dangerous. Yeah, I wouldn't I wouldn't say that. But if you look a little bit further, I mean, people are saying ivermectin, oregano. Yeah.

Well, as the CDC makes it very clear, depending upon the density of infection and the dynamics of infection,

1:32:18 in the place where you live and you see the dynamics of infection. This is new, John. Now we have a dynamometer to check how the infection is in certain spaces. in the place where you live and you see if you look at the map where just a couple of months ago it was a lot of green and some yellow now we're seeing a fair amount of orange which means you really should in an indoor setting a congregate setting be wearing masks. It's just the appropriate thing to do to protect yourself

1:32:55 And your family and those around you because you could get infected and inadvertently kill any symptoms Transmitted to someone perhaps in your own household grandma. It was horrible either an elderly person Yeah, grandma or someone with immune compromise and that's the reason why when you're in an area where the infection dynamic is high Infection you should wear a mask in a congregate indoor setting congregate Oh, I like the use of the word congregate setting, like congregation, church. Don't go to church. What's the current timetable do you think for approval for Americans under 50 to get their second booster shot? Well, it's being very seriously and actively considered, John. We were talking about this just literally every day for the last couple of days.

1:33:38 Obviously, this is something that is an FDA regulatory decision. Those are the people most qualified to look at the data and to make a decision whether or not they would extend the regulation to be able to give it to people less than 50. But I can tell you this is something that is being actively discussed. I can't predict if and when it will happen, but I believe it's going to be within a very reasonable period of time. So just keep on boosting people. Can I ask you a question? Yeah. How come they haven't given this thing full FDA approval? How long do we have to wait before this thing actually gets approved? You mean the... As opposed to emergency youth authorization. You mean the fourth booster shot?

1:34:19 Or any of them. The first one, the first shot, the second shot, the third shot, the fourth shot, the upcoming fifth shot, the sixth shot. Well, it's obvious. First we need to... The shot for the kids, the shot for the little boys, the shot for the babies, all those shots. They're all still under... Why can't they get this approved? What's the deal? What's the problem? Well, they did, but we don't have access to Cominarty here in America. No, there's one of them, but that's never been here. That's what I'm saying. We don't have access. That's what I'm saying. We don't have access to that. Well, okay. Here's another question for you then. When the Comirnity one was approved, which it was, everybody came out and it was, I believe we have clips. In fact, we had clips where they said, well, don't worry about it. It's exactly the same as the Pfizer. Well, if that's the case, if it's exactly the same, then why don't they approve the Pfizer? Why don't they just give it the stamp of approval if it's exactly the same?

1:35:08 It's still under emergency use. Am I not? Well, maybe you're not using the right pronouns. No one can answer you anymore. Obviously, this is the problem. I just like to know why they can't. Does anybody notice this? We do. That's called letting it sink in. I love that. That was perfect. Let it sink in people, let it sink in. Think about it, think about it. That was really good. And with that I'd like to thank you for your courage. In the morning to you, the man who put the sea in coffins for kids. Ladies and gentlemen, my friend on the other end, Mr. John C. Dvorak.

No Agenda Stream, Troll Room Statistics

The live broadcast from the Texas Hill Country and Silicon Valley reports a listener count of 2,338 on the No Agenda Stream. The hosts discuss the community in the "Troll Room" and the growth of the Mastodon-based social network, No Agenda Social, emphasizing its lack of algorithmic manipulation.

no agenda stream· troll room· mastodon· no agenda social· live broadcast

1:35:53 Well, in the morning to you, Mr. Adam Curry, if that is indeed your real name. In the morning to all ships and sea boots on the ground, feet in the air, subs in the water, all the names of knights out there. In the morning to the trolls in the troll room. Hey, trolls, how you doing? It's Sunday. Let's count y'all. Okay, hands up. Let's see. The trolls are scurrying around. Oh yeah, troll count back up a little bit. 2338 for today. We'll take it. These are people, these are pipples listening live. About a hundred more than last Sunday. So that's good. I welcome that. I welcome that. About a hundred more. They're listening live at noagenestream.com and they're trolling along in the troll room at trollroom.io. They've already handed me some one-liners. I like it. I appreciate it. That's why I always log in. So you weren't going to get any material. Hey, at least I don't have to pay someone like you do.

1:36:43 Marty the joke writer. You pay Marty the joke writer. I haven't paid Marty the joke writer for actual material for decades. And he's coming today after he hears that. He's like, could that Dvorak? He owes me some... doesn't he sell them for ten bucks a pop? You get to get jokes written first you have to find some joke writers that are around. They're around. Yeah, Marty. And it all right well Marty doesn't do that so much I mean he does his own material but There's joke writers around, usually out of work comedians. But to work with them is fantastic because they just, it's just, they have a different, their brain works different. It's like artists. They see things differently. So they can do... Those brains, they could get a heart attack. That 10 Bucks a Pop thing, I don't know. I mean, that was the last time I had jokes written. That was in the 80s. Okay.

1:37:33 That's now $1,000. So congratulations. I don't know. You know, it was 10 bucks in the 60s. It was 10 bucks because we had a guy when I was at KFJC in Foothill College, there was a guy there was buying jokes and it was in the, you know, for, oh, he, no, he was writing jokes. This is one guy who was in class. He was writing jokes for Phyllis Diller. Oh, really? And she yeah, and she was paying 10 bucks a joke and it was 10 bucks a joke later and it's 10 bucks as far as I know. It's like maybe it's still got to go to 20 someday. Anyway, the trolls are worth 10 bucks a pop at least. It could be more. It could be a thousand with inflation. And besides that, it's just a fun place to go hang out and talk, you know, shit post if you want, but hang out, you'll find nice people there if you want to find really nice people. Sorry.

1:38:21 But some trolls also go to noagendasocial.com, which is where we have a Mastodon federated instance, so you can follow. I got a great shit poster on there the other day. He was really saying horrible things. I kind of engaged with him and then, you know, of course he turns out to be really intelligent, dropped his guard for two moments. And I pointed it out and then that was it. But how? Give us the story again. I wasn't following. Oh, I'm not prepared for it. I could read it, but it's... But now somebody was giving you grief. But the point is, well, someone was saying, oh, you can just block the whole domain. I'm like, I don't block any domains here. We block nothing. You very rarely block. But I mean, but I have, I'm not a blocker. I'm a lover. I have the power, the God mode power

1:39:13 to block an entire domain from being seen on no agenda social and there's nothing there. Oh you wouldn't do that. No, of course I would miss this dynamite material which I will prepare for the next show. It's mostly some of it's pretty sick. Yeah but I but I think I can prepare some fun but anyway Turns out the shitposters are okay, actually. You just got to engage them differently and it gets all triggered. So not worth it. So anyway, what we don't have is algos that keep triggering you. It's calm, it's a conversation you can block. If you don't like a domain, you can block it for yourself and you'll never see anything from there. That's democracy, okay? And it's hanging in a balance. Just saying.

No Agenda Art, Episode 1468 Review

The hosts review artwork submitted for the previous episode, "Super Wokes." The winning piece by Capitalist Agenda featured a Wiley Coyote theme with a "BA5" variant sign. Other discussed works include Tante Neal's Bastille Day art and various "mac and cheese" themed submissions now available at the No Agenda Shop.

capitalist agenda· wiley coyote· tante neal· bastille day· no agenda shop

1:39:54 That is noagendasocial.com. Follow Adam at noagendasocial.com, John C. Dvorak at noagendasocial.com. It's a good idea. Now let's take a look at the artwork and the artist who brought it to us for episode 1468. We titled that Super Wokes, which I think was appropriate. People were going crazy over this art. They wanted on t-shirts right away. Hello, No Agenda Shop. This was brought to us by, was it Capitalist Agenda I believe? Who is really working hard. He had a hat trick in the last couple of weeks and now he's back. This was the Wiley coyote who fell through the ground or splat on the ground with, he was holding a BA5 sign for the variant and then a big booster anvil.

1:40:43 ACJCD with a little lightning bolt, coffee cup. It was hitting, and also the No Agenda font that he used, it was hitting a lot of... No, he just nailed that. That's what you call a nailed it piece. There was nothing... I mean, that's not the piece that you were attracted to. No, but... But if you look, for one thing, you did like Riley's 4,000 Beagles. I didn't like, I like Riley's stuff generally speaking. Well, you didn't see, you know, what you said, I said, I like that. You said, well, I don't get it. It's Fauci. Oh, I didn't see Fauci. So when that happens, then it didn't work. And then that was enough for me, even though I prefer it, if you didn't see it, didn't work no good. Veto.

1:41:29 And so it wasn't a veto, I just said that I didn't like it. But I like this Wiley-Cowley thing because it's just slick looking. It looks hyper-professional. It was again the compositions dynamite everything about it is that has not not a flaw I can imagine it was a lot of man. I can imagine flaws believe me There was a lot of mac and cheese art. I personally liked Tante Neal's Bastille Day Which you just hated because it's Tante Neal Then Mountain Jays let them eat mac and cheese with Marie Antoinette I think you said another woman I hate and

1:42:09 So those had to go. You didn't get me into trouble with the ladies. Oh yeah. Now we did discuss, it was kind of between Capitalist Agenda... Oh no, I'll tell you, okay. Yeah, the Bastille Day by Tantanille, I just didn't like it. And I can't, you know, for one thing, like the French flag folds into the red of the French flag in the background. I don't like that. That was like the... You didn't make that point. The point you made at the time was about the font. The legibility was an issue. Yeah. And I did not disagree. But that was after you told me the real reason. Now, we also liked Capitalist Agenda's coup. There was the tacos and they were holding up the COUP letters.

1:43:02 Yes. Yeah, I like that piece. A bit. It was nice. We discussed it. But it didn't compare really. What else did we see that was of any... There's a taco with a butt? I wonder who did that. That was ComicstripBlogger. Of course, yeah. Somehow. It's like, we see a butt. Anywhere there's a butt in the artwork, you don't even have to look. It's CSB. I did like... Bug and Cheese from Nico Simes, an artist that I'm most familiar with. But I kind of like the Bug and Cheese piece. And this person, I can't tell if it's a man or a woman. Could be a they or a them. There's a lot of nice stuff that's pretty good. Yeah.

1:43:46 You don't want to they also did. Oh, they also did one that you kind of like, which was the Gary. Yeah, sloth. Hello. My name is Gary. Yeah. The support sloth with a mask. Yeah, I like that. I like I like this. It was a cute piece. All the work is fine. I mean, you have to understand for us, we're done with the show. It's three and a half hours. Of course, we've had a good 24, 48 of hurry up prep time. So it all comes kind of to a crescendo. You know, then hopefully At the end we're all like laying back smoking a cigarette saying, oh it was a good show. And then we get to enjoy the artwork, which is fun. It's like, no, I don't think ever have I had this much fun in post-production of a program.

1:44:29 It is a kick going over the art and then discussing it. Especially when you get into an argument, we get two favorite pieces. And we have to find ways. Like the one you almost won, you beat me down on, and then it turned out they forgot to put Dvorak correct. Right, right, right, right. That was a classic. Yeah, and you were reveling over that. Oh, I gotcha. No agenda art generator calm if you're listening live then you can just go ahead refresh it those people are already putting art up for today's show That's how it works. These artists are phenomenal You can find their art over at no agenda shop calm on mugs hats t-shirts hoodies koozies You name it, you know, no contractual relationship there They just they work it all out the artist gets a third the shop gets a third and then the shop donates once in a while and then we love it and we have great products and

Paul Couture, Laravel 9 Database Migration

Sir Paul Couture is redeveloping the No Agenda database from the ground up using the Laravel 9 framework. The project moves away from Drupal, which Couture previously criticized for its developer community's social justice focus. The update aims to modernize the site's infrastructure and search capabilities.

paul couture· laravel· php· drupal· no agenda database

1:45:17 And the art is unparalleled, certainly for any other podcast I've ever seen, ever. And that's how it works, value for value. Time, talent and treasure. I should mention Paul Couture, since I'm trying to get a whole dump of the database. And he's not, of course, like any other normal coder. Instead of doing that, he's decided to redo the entire thing from scratch. on headless Drupal again? No, no, he stopped using Drupal some time ago. The hot thing is React. I'll tell you what it is if you want to hear what the... It's some coding base that he's...

1:46:01 He switched a long time ago out of Drupal. It was like a nightmare. And he also mentioned that Drupal people are the worst case of the social justice warriors. Yeah, that's what I thought was the problem. Mm hmm. So it's impossible to deal with them or anybody else. So here it is. I got his note. OK, I got sideline. He hasn't given me what I'm looking for, but OK, he's going to do this thing. Now he's got a timeline here. And he has a work plan. He used in 2014. He was version one was built in Drupal six. Then he got sick of the SJW version two of the site launched in October 2014, built in Laravel. Wow. What kind of eight bit stuff is that? I don't know. Version three is coming soon. It's going to be Laravel three. I mean, made a comment.

1:46:52 Headless Drupal is a dead end, but necessarily a stepping stone for the PHP developer community to adopt modern practices. He made that as a comment. He says there's Laravel. He says... Laravel is a framework for PHP. Oh yeah, he's going to do from the ground up Laravel 9. Oh wow, he's going with 9? I prefer 8.3. I think that's much safer. Yeah, you didn't even hear about it two seconds ago. Well this is why we have a troll room. I know that it's a framework for PHP and I say it as if I have intelligence and knowledge in the area. Yeah, well that's what people do. They use those kinds of things. Ground up framework. I'm telling you, Sir Paul Couture, I love you man, but all the cool kids are using React.

1:47:37 Now I'm going to end up hearing a lecture about that, why it's no good. Yeah, john at Dvorak.org. Tell John why it's no good. I never heard of Laravel either. Well, our dude's name Ben has certainly and our dudette's name Bernadette. So that's, and as always, you know, that's something that Sir Paul just took upon himself to add value to the community. Just like we have Sir Daniel with noagendameetups.com, we have Sir Void Zero, Sir Mark over there in the north of Holland running infrastructure. We got Sir Bemrose running the street. I mean, it's like we have hundreds of people who've contributed throughout these. By the way, I haven't heard from Chad in Colorado, so I'm going to send him a note.

Executive Producer Credits, Nick Leary GT Probe

The show acknowledges executive producers, including John from Key West and Nick Leary from Columbus, Ohio. Nick Leary requested "R2D2 mechanical karma" for his 1997 Probe GT. The segment also features a birthday donation from Dave Meadowson, a newly certified yoga instructor in Central Florida.

1:48:25 Remember, we're going to talk about... Yeah, that's why I was a little worried. I know he listens, so we'll find out. Another guy who gets... people who send us information. We got a donation note here, which is actually quite information filled. So we'll get to that as we thank our executive and associate executive producers for episode 1469. It's very simple. If you get value out of the show, then you let us know that by sending us some digits. You make the numbers valuable to you, important to you, whatever works for your value proposition, whatever you have. That's all we care about, the value that you place on it. And we kick it off with John from Key West. And I presume he's an instant knight, but all I have on his note is, hat off to no agenda slaves and their human resources.

1:49:14 Here's what's interesting about this note, and I don't know if he's on the knighting list, but he probably should be. He better be. Knight, you know, Sir John. I'll check right now. But Eric added a new category to his rundown when he sent for us to deal with. We have to read certain things and do this and that to get through this. Yeah, we have a back off his notes. And he's got this new category called disappointing note. Line two, John. I know, I went right away, I'm like, oh, someone's bitching at us, it's gonna be horrible, they're leaving us. This is not a disappointing note, except for the fact that maybe it doesn't have the knight name, which may be disappointing to Eric. Yeah. But this is the kind of note we want. Yes! That's exactly what I thought. I said, well done, good balance for the show.

1:50:04 Well, he's gonna be Sir John and if he wants to change it he can send it in and we'll take care of him. and 33 cents. In the morning, Dave Meadowson here, a newly certified yoga instruction instructor. Make a donation for my birthday Monday, July 18th, as she's on the list. I never claimed to protect her when I was granted my baroness status. So I would like to claim Central Florida. Sure, you got Disney World. Enjoy it. Good luck with that. Good luck with that. If the committee sees, yeah, we see fit. Central Floridians, I'm planning a meetup near the end of July. Keep your ears open and check noagendamedups.com. Please keep up the great work. I adore you both. Karma please, love and light.

1:50:58 P.S. I keep forgetting the notes email alias. Can you announce it again? Oh yeah, Adam will. He knows what it is. Notes at noagendashow.net. It's three N's. Notes at noagendashow.net. N3. Three N's. I searched a few episode transcripts but no such luck. It should be listed somewhere that's easy to find but it's not. We'll put it in our mission statement. You've got karma. Up next we have Nick Leary. 371.69. Interesting number from Columbus, Ohio. Nick says, Ronimo here. Rogan, no agenda, mofax. Sending some well-earned treasure back to you both. Give me a dose of R2D2 mechanical karma. I'm fixing up my 97 probe GT from high school. I'm gonna need every bit of it.

1:51:53 Oh, please give yourselves a karma as well. Love is lit. I think he's on the prowl. We have Nick is out. He's trying to pick up chicks with his 97 probe GT. You've got karma. Right on. Now this is a note you're going to have to read because it blows out my spreadsheet. It's so big. Yeah. And this is what I would call the disappointing note. Did you read it? You didn't think that you didn't think I can't read it. Oh, this is anything but disappointing. Well, it might be good note for the show, but it's not a good note for me reading it. I'm sorry to hear that. OK, you can read it. Nathan Winder or Winder from Stilwell, Kansas, three three three dot sixty nine. He's got the sixty nine for the episode. Thank you very much. Thank you for all you do to make the greatest podcast in the universe possible.

Google Cat Litter Box, Nathan Winder Story

Nathan Winder, a former Google engineer, shares an anecdote about a management off-site where a hypothetical scenario involved an employee identifying as a cat. Winder's "malicious compliance" response regarding animal control and toxoplasmosis revealed that Google had actually provided a litter box for a real employee.

google· human resources· cat identity· software engineer· stilwell kansas

1:52:42 Of course, so good. Yes, good starting off well. Your recent comments about noodle boy college kids having to grow up in real jobs sparked my favorite story from Google after having worked there for eight years. Now, this is the kind of story that The Daily Wire would headline with. Google Insider talks about social justice warriors at Google. No, no. Yeah, I actually read this note when it was an email. I didn't read it as a note. But yeah, it's quite funny. I was begrudgingly recently promoted to engineer manager and our leaders decided it was time for a project-wide management culture building off-site. Woohoo! Bored out of my mind all day, we then had some practical theoretical exercises to practice our new management skills.

1:53:27 Anyone who's been to one of these knows exactly what this is talking about. The offsite. Oh, goodness. Didn't we have offsites at Pod Show? That was a Bloom thing. He loved offsites. He liked that and all hands, all hands, corn ball stuff in Silicon Valley. Tall corn ball. A scrum. Let's do a scrum, everybody. My favorite hypothetical was this. A software engineer identifying as a cat. Demands a litter box to relieve themselves at their hypothetical tech company. Standard responses all around. Of course we should provide! We could convert a meditation room or foosball area for them, blah blah blah. I'm quiet, dying laughing on the inside, keeping my head down, avoiding eye contact, just want to get through it for beers at happy hour.

1:54:14 But then the giant people ops, which apparently is Google speak for the HR lady, the giant people ops, I think we should keep that in there, GPO. So the giant people ops lady somehow locks onto me, decides to hound me to get my thoughts. I try to defer and defer and defer, but the boss gives me the look to answer, so I reluctantly answer. Well, give them the opportunity to succeed elsewhere. Shock in the room. Why the white whale- Fire the cat. Hold on a second. I gotta mark that one. Why the white whale with blue hair inquires?

1:54:53 This is like a book, I would buy this book. I ask if it is legal to hire a cat for work. It seems like animal abuse. Confusion ensued, of course. I finally feel the awkward silence. Ask if the cat has a license, has a designated guardian, has had all their shots, and do we have those records, and so on and so on. Get a reluctant no for an answer. Seems like we have a stray animal need to call animal control. The boss is shooting me death stares to pump the brakes, but momentum can't be stopped now. I suggest we survey the co-workers to make sure they aren't allergic or potentially pregnant to avoid toxoplasmosis. Begin planning additional first aid and cleaning protocols as needed.

1:55:37 Buddies around me are biting their lips so hard, PeopleObs Beluga has turned that awful fat jaundicated white color to bright red like she had just shuffled back in record time from the nearest office snack bar a hundred feet away. I finally get cut off after five minutes of bullshitting, so I sit back, bask in the glory of malicious compliance. At happy hour, I dig it out of my- I dig it out of my boss this was currently happening with the software engineer at, you guessed it, Google. Good news, they got them their precious litter box. And yes, Google is sucking up absolutely all of your data of any kind and selling it to anyone they want, ad companies, government, and on and on. Avoid any and all Google products, people. At least the pay was great. Now that's not a disappointing note. I won't hand you some karma. It's a good note. You've got karma. Well done, sir. It's been better in this show, I think.

Associate Executive Producers, Knighting Ceremony

A series of donations leads to new titles within the No Agenda community. Sir David French becomes a Baronet, and Alan Dix is knighted as "Sir Hey Chief Dicks." The segment also honors Jessica in Nashville as she starts an interior design business and acknowledges the support of Sir Sebi from Minnesota.

1:56:30 But what's that? Good note. Very funny. And he's probably dead right about all of it. And Google is just outrageous in terms of what they do. Greg Hoy in Orinda, California, comes up next in contrast with three hundred thirty three dollars and thirty three cents. And the contrast is his note is the following. Take my money. No typewriter this time. Executive producer named Earhopper. It all balances out. It was the name Earhopper for executive producers. Oh, did we have to change that? I think so, yeah. Okay, all right, let me just make the change. Earhopper. While you're doing that, I'll go on with the next one. Okay, good. Sir, B and A, B and Astra, B and Astra in Nashville, Tennessee, 333.33, 33 episodes since my last donation, so it's time for another. However,

1:57:17 I must switcheroo it to my smoking hot wife yet another switcheroo. And this goes to Jessica and he requests some karma for her and just make it Jessica, no just Jessica, and requests some karma for her as she begins her interior design business. It's something she's been considering for quite a while and is now finally Taking the plunge despite the WEF saying that no one will own a home by 2030 With all the money she's been spending on branding web development, etc I thought we should spend a little money on something that provides an immediate return on investment and that's an executive producer now you're talking some karma from Gitmo nation Love you, baby. You're going to kick ass Klaus says seven and a half years to make hay while the sun shines sir

1:58:07 Sir Benet's dry and Nashville, Tennessee will give her some goat you've got Then we have Rajiv volatile would you say volatile I'd say Valetti but... Valetti, okay. And no note. Well that's disappointing. So that means... Bedford. Yes and that's $333. We love $333 for executive producers so you get a double karma, a turbo version. You've got... Pharma. Sir David French in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania $310. ITM, my beloved bride.

1:58:50 told me softening the T in words e.g. important is a regional thing where we grew up in central New York. Oh really? I don't think so. Who knew he continues you know what's he gonna do? This donation makes me a baronet. Jingles please. Screw your freedom to the head Fauci wheeze Sir David French. Screw your freedom. Short and sweet. Laura Slagle, we think we'd say Slagle, Slagle, Slagle, 202.22 South Boston, Virginia. And this is, wait, did I mess that up?

1:59:36 No, I got it right. I'm sorry. Even my spreadsheets going nuts. 202.22. I'm not quite sure what the significance is. We like it. Associate executive producership, but it's a switcheroo. It's a row of ducks with an egg. Row of ducks with an egg. Morgan. This is for my son. Morgan. I'm sorry, Morgan. So with an O. Two Os. Morgan. His 27th trip around the sun on the 17th. I'm also thanking him for de-douching me for Father's Day. I'd love... Love, oh, love, dad, jingles, biscuit on my birthday, and Obama, you might die. Because nothing says happy birthday than you might die. They always give me a biscuit on my birthday. You might die. Thanks, Dad. Nothing but love. Is that in there? No, I made that up.

2:00:25 So, uh, uh, our last donation, we don't have a lot today. First, the executive producer and associate executive producer, Sir CB, Night of the Black Thumbnails and Harris Minnesota Nuts, $200.01. Navy guys, and it's a switcheroo. Nice. He also needs Donald Loves Nazis, Don't Raff, and some yak karma. This donation brings Alan Dix, who's going to get the credit, of Spring Hill, Florida, $1,000. He can show you his accounting. He's good for it. I'm bequeathing this final donation for his knighthood, and he's on the list, I believe. So he also... So Alex Dix also gets the credit? Yeah. Okay. Done. Puts it up there. Switcheroo. Yeah, you got it. Consider it done.

2:01:12 Not because he's a great friend. He's not getting the credit because he's a great friend. Not because we've served together in the new US Navy Chief Petty, as US Navy Chief Petty Officers, but because Alan is a retired intelligence special chief petty officer and I've always wanted to own my own intelligence asset.

CHAPTER 30 / 42 Discussion

Tucker Carlson, Biden Dementia Pill Claims

Tucker Carlson reported on Fox News that President Joe Biden is allegedly administered pills by his staff to manage cognitive decline before public appearances. Carlson cited an anonymous source who claimed Biden was "like a small child" without the medication. The segment explores the medical and political implications of these claims.

tucker carson· joe biden· jill biden· dementia· fox news

2:03:54 We hit people in the mouth. Order! Shut up, slave! Shut up, slave! I am going to violate rule number five. Biden clips! No. Oh. Tucker Carlson Biden clips, to be specific. Oh, I already violated the rule, but you didn't know it. What did you do? I played the doctor who was saying that no one... Oh, you picked... Yeah, but you didn't have Carl's voice. Exactly.

2:04:34 Okay, well I got a series of clips about Carlson bitching and moaning about Biden's dementia. Yes, good. You saw that show, I'm sure. You know, honestly, let me be honest, I always watch the last five minutes of Jesse Waters if it's not one of his man on the street things where it shows how stupid America is. I'm usually asleep about five minutes into Tucker and then during his monologue when he repeats everything the second time so I may have missed it. Ah, you get tuckered out. Hey, there it is ladies and gentlemen, $10 jokes.

2:05:11 And there we got a million of them. So now we're talking, which is $10 million. This is the one that got my attention and made you want to do this series at all, which is the Biden dementia pills clip. Oh yes, this is huge. This Joe Biden, anyone who knew Joe Biden had seen before, he completely changed. This was clearly cognitive decline. This was dementia, obviously. So we drew a conclusion that now sounds ridiculous, but it seemed logical at the time. This guy can't be the Democratic nominee. He can barely speak. How did he manage to get through the campaign? Well, it turned out, we learned later, his staff, supervised by Dr. Jill, his wife,

2:05:51 was giving him pills before every public appearance, checking the time and at a certain hour giving him a dose of something. Now, that's not a guess. We're not making that up. We've spoken directly to someone who was there and saw it happen multiple times. Now, before taking the medication, this person said, Biden was, quote, like a small child. You could not communicate with him. He changed completely because he was on drugs. And he clearly still is on drugs. No one's pushing to know what those drugs are. We should know. But the point is, Joe Biden's dementia was perfectly obvious to everyone around him more than three years ago. A medical breakthrough. Well, I have a couple of problems with this. Generally speaking, when you jack somebody up before like, you know, that they're in a situation where they need to be high on something to go out to perform, it's usually a shot.

2:06:46 because it gets into the bloodstream fast. Pills take sometimes a half an hour. Well, anyone who smokes pot like yourself and compares it to edibles, for example, you know, edibles take hours to get in. Edibles, no good. Maybe he goes sublingual. This could be some sublingual thing. I don't know. But okay, I thought that would you think somebody be talking about it besides Tucker, but why would they? Can I just say something about this pill? Because if this, no matter what it is, but if it truly was a pill and he seems very adamant about this, that it's a pill, would, I mean, there's

2:07:27 millions of people who would love to bring their parent or grandparent to their senses out of dementia for the average, you know, 12 minutes or I think 20 minutes max for Joe. I think we look at 20. Okay, 20 minutes just to say, okay, here's the deal, here's what's going on, here's why we're putting this straightjacket on, whatever it is. I mean, this I don't have that in my life. I have friends who have parents with dementia and it's really horrible and they heard their story and they're like, do you matter how, oh, I would love to, they don't give a shit about Joe. Can I have this pill?

CHAPTER 31 / 42 Discussion

Media Pivot, Biden Age Concerns

A montage of clips from MSNBC and CNN shows a shift in media narrative regarding President Biden's age and mental fitness. Commentators who previously defended the President are now openly questioning his ability to govern, citing his "listless" speeches and mobility issues as he approaches 80 years of age.

msnbc· cnn· barack obama· joe biden· senility

2:08:04 That's how big this is, which I agree, it doesn't sound like it could be true because this would be so important to so many people. It would be a huge moneymaker. Yeah, I'm skeptical of the story. But then he points out that, of course, this also could be part of the get Joe, which we talk about on this show specifically, which is the idea that the Democrats are doing anything they can Even though they have pushback, like you played that earlier clip, they have pushback, oh yeah, no, he's still great, you know, he's gonna be great, and get reelected and all the rest. A lot of people wanna get rid of him. So then he played a super cut, not a big one, but a short one, of the dementia super cut, which, and I wanna preface this, all these are from MSNBC and CNN, no place else.

2:08:53 And they're all basically something completely different than what was played by the same networks like two years ago. Everybody watching, everyone in the media, that would include Barack Obama's former advisors, is now in agreement that Joe Biden is senile and cannot govern the United States. He tends to shuffle sometimes because he has, you know, mobility issues that the doctors have identified. Sometimes his speeches tend to be a little listless or he seems to momentarily get confused or have trouble summoning names. A third of them, the largest number said age, that he was too old. That is a problem that's not going to get better. He's not going to get younger. He's not going to get any younger. I think there are a lot of people who have looked at him over these last years and seen he isn't

2:09:41 what he used to be 10 years ago. He knows he's 80 years old, 79, 80 years old. He knows he's an old white guy in a party. Ugh. He's demographically changing and diverse, and the future is not going to be an old white guy. When he does badly, when he stumbles, you get nervous. And you wonder, is it just a stutter? Is he tired? Or is something else there? Listen, if anybody says that Democrats aren't beginning to have these questions behind closed doors, that's not true. People are. Oh, yeah. Now, by the way, the guy just said, old white guy isn't old white guy. That's so funny. Now, later in the show or later in this presentation... It's not funny. It's sad is what it is, John. These things are not funny anymore.

2:10:23 Well, I'm... You're amused. You're amused. Okay, good. I'm always amused. So later in the show, and this is recorded, and I'm not sure this was screwed up by Google or if it was a network screw-up or whatever, but he went back and to prove his point, Tucker played another supercut of these same people and more. It was a long supercut of all the people talking about, oh no, Joe's fine, he's great. And they went, you know, this was before, you know, during the election. And then somehow it got all jumbled with other clips of Tucker talking about something completely different and this and that. And then it drops into the middle of a commercial. It's a complete disaster. And I'm wondering if this was done on purpose

2:11:15 Or if it was, you know, there was something in there that they agreed to never play again? That's my guess. Because I, you know, that goes on. And do you remember what it was still about Biden stuff? Yeah, this is part of the same presentation about Biden's dementia. And Tucker was bringing home the point by playing another supercut that the same people that you just heard talking about, oh, I don't know, they were all jacked up and here it goes. And listen to this. Well, which one is it? It's under Carlson epic fail. Okay. Well, he just decided to bypass the primaries and go right to the main event and kind of consign everybody else to the kiddie table. That is Joe Biden at his best. That is someone who is authentic. It's the reason he connects with people. He is having fun. This is not heavy lifting for

2:12:09 for Carterburn who used his authority in South Carolina among black voters to party had just decided and Barack Obama as well that Joe Biden are just woeful. I mean, you know, just 29% I think of democrat.com. You can also watch it over the weekend. Dr. Paulson dot com lots of dot coms. Last chance to get my original my slippers.

2:12:49 Mike, now I'm pretty sure that was your recording or so. I don't think that this has been done to mess it up. This recording was done off-site. Yeah, but I have a recording. I'll go look at it. I'll bet you I have a full recording. Google may have done that, but I don't, I have Comcast. You have a recording and you did it on Comcast? Yeah. Okay, I want you to listen to it and see how they cut out ends. Okay, I'll check but I I would have known I would have heard about this But I think it's just inferior product from Google or maybe Google is doing that for some reason. That's pretty conspiratorial That's that's that's a stretch for you. So must you really feel like that might must have happened? Well, I felt that there was a really good super cut that was all but you're mad. Okay, I got ya I screw you guys Google

CHAPTER 32 / 42 Discussion

Biden Middle East Trip, Saudi Fist Bump

President Biden concluded a four-day trip to the Middle East, which included a controversial fist bump with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in Jeddah. While Biden claimed to have raised the issue of Jamal Khashoggi's murder, human rights activists criticized the meeting for emboldening the Saudi leadership.

joe biden· mohammed bin salman· jeddah· saudi arabia· jamal khashoggi

2:13:39 So let's continue. I want to continue this with the Biden and the Middle East report that comes out of NPR. And there's a few items in here that are definitely, especially the third clip, that are something we need to discuss. And this is Biden on Middle East NPR 1. President Biden is on his way back to the United States after a four day trip to the Middle East. It was his first time there as president. He reaffirmed commitments to Israel and released more aid money for Palestinians and he attended a summit with Arab leaders who the US is hoping will keep oil supplies flowing as gas prices remain high. This morning he told them the US intends to remain a key player in a region where American rivals also seek influence. We will not walk away and leave a vacuum to be filled by China, Russia or Iran.

2:14:30 We'll seek to build on this moment with active, principled American leadership. Dr. Jill, we need another pill. Dr. Jill, we need another pill. Same thing I noticed. NPR was not doing this before and now they're playing some of Joe sounding like he's out of it. Again, part of the scheme to get rid of him. With no candidate to back him up, let's get rid of him. Except Gavin Newsom. Well, they got two years to come up with somebody. Yeah. Over two years. This is what I hate. I don't mind doing it. I love this show. I love my job. But the fact that I have to wait two years to see this thing come to a conclusion is bugging me.

2:15:13 Boy, you want to quit tomorrow? No, I need resolution, Joe. Something's got to happen to Joe. You want the instant gratification? Is that your problem? You got the instant gratification bug? Yes, like a like. Like someone subscribing and following. You want a checkmark. Yes. Oh, it's because you never got the blue checkmark. Oh, that's... Yes, OK. Let's continue this little trick. But the visit was overshadowed by the meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, who U.S. intelligence agencies say approved the operation that killed journalist Jamal Khashoggi in 2018. NPR's Fatma Tannis has been following events from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and she's with us now. Fatma, welcome. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for having me.

2:15:52 So let's start with the latest activity today. That was Biden's speech to a meeting of nine Arab leaders, Gulf countries along with Egypt and Jordan. What stood out about Biden's message? You know, the president painted a positive picture, saying the Middle East is relatively stable and also more united than it has been. Some main points from his speech today, he said the US and Gulf countries will be investing in clean energy, water resources, and working to address the ripples of Russia's war in Ukraine on energy markets and food insecurity in the region. He talked also about coordinating efforts on air defenses, freedom of navigation to counter threats from Iran, which was a big theme across his trip.

2:16:32 And finally, he also underlined the United States commitment to promoting human rights in the region. Well, to that point, I mean, as we noted, there was a lot of attention and frankly, some outrage over Biden's meeting last night with the Saudi crown prince. He's in fact, a leader of the country. Biden had called the country a pariah when he was running for president. So would you talk a little bit more about that to kind of recap that for us? Absolutely. You know, all eyes were on his first interaction with the Crown Prince at the Al-Salam Royal Palace here in Jeddah. We saw Biden greet Mohammed bin Salman with an outstretched fist bump. This did not go over well with many in the US and it was widely criticized by human rights activists as being too warm and friendly.

2:17:16 So then at a late night press conference on Friday, the president defended his meeting and said that he actually brought up the issue of human rights and specifically the killing of Khrushchev at the top of his conversation with the crown prince. He basically said that he was not personally responsible for it. I indicated that he was. Amen. Fist bump. I indicated he probably... So you go... I'm going to have to do you... So Adam, did you kill that guy? My pronouns are they them. And then you look, then you say no. No. I think you did. No. That's what it's... Is that what happened? Yes, he indicated, doesn't mean he even said it. He indicated, he probably went with his head like... He raised an eyebrow.

2:18:03 Now here's a part three of Shorty that's got some issue with, I have an issue with this clip. Now human rights advocates say that the meeting will likely embolden the crown prince to be more repressive than he already is. They say Biden didn't actually have to meet with him to get Saudi cooperation. But you know, that's an open question. As you mentioned, the crown prince is the de facto leader of the kingdom. He has consolidated Power and Biden certainly felt that he needs Saudi cooperation on oil to maintain the truce in Yemen and also to oppose Russia's war in Ukraine. Oh brother. Now was it to maintain the truce in Yemen or maintain the troops in Yemen? Oh, that's good. I didn't hear, you know, I mean, I said, where was that? Power and Biden certainly felt that he needs Saudi cooperation on oil to maintain the truce in Yemen and also to

2:18:55 Truth on oil to maintain the truth in Yemen and all the truth the truce what does she say? Operation I can't get it. Well, let's listen again. Let's listen again Saudi cooperation on oil to maintain the truce in Yemen and all she says truce what truce? Did she say troops? No, everyone's... the trolls think she's saying truth. Truths. Truths. Truths. Truths. People think truths. Truths. Truths. Truths. Truths. What truths? I don't know. Are we talking about a truth in Yemen? There's a truth. Kofafi! I have no idea. Kofafi! Kofafi yourself! ...to maintain the truce in Yemen and also to oppose Russia's war in Ukraine. The truce? The truce? I don't know! Oppose Russia's war? How does it oppose the war?

2:19:46 What is she talking about this and this woman this woman interviewers go I don't know whatever you say You can't understand what she's saying. She's talking about she's also really close Mike. You know Billy's talking like she's going to get through some examin She's probably on scene. She's there. I said whatever no, I don't think so, but Hilarious hilarious. I can't figure out what she's talking about. What's it got to do with Russia? Well, because you know Russia, well of course this is because Russia has caused ripples, ripples, ripples in the energy markets. Now we need to ripple back at them with Saudi Arabia. Okay, last clip. So let's talk about this from the other perspective. I mean what's been the narrative? What? I don't know, there's the way.

2:20:35 I can't help it. Now I'm just giddy. Let's talk about the other perspective. I mean, what's been the narrative? The Biden disease is spreading to NPR. Let's talk about the other perspective. I mean, what's been the narrative in the Saudi leadership and the media? You know, the Saudis definitely projected the upper hand throughout the trip. And it's not just because they were hosting the event, but because the president of the United States needed their help and came all the way to visit. And so this has certainly been reflected throughout Biden's time here, which by the way, was just short of 24 hours. But the US press corps, for example, had very limited access compared to the Saudi press. And so the optics were really dominated by the Saudis. And in the Saudi press coverage, which tends to be more columnist oriented, the takeaway is now that the kingdom is too strategically important to ignore. And so Saudi-US relations are back

2:21:31 to normal and not getting a quote reorientation as Biden had put it in an op-ed explaining why he was going. John, what's really going on here? I mean, this is clearly, clearly this is this is some other reason for this. It's obviously not about... I mean, Macron even told them, hey, you know, there's no... they cannot do more petroleum for you, Joe. You go there. So what is it about? I don't know. I'm with you on that because it's... and I think the Saudis even told him, look, we're at 98%, we're pumping as much as we can. What do you want us to do? Maybe... This has got to be something else. Maybe he's just pleading, please don't sell it. Maybe it's got something to do with that Yemen thing this woman shoved in there in the middle of nowhere. Well that would, okay, then that would relate directly to Iran, which I mean, I don't know if you have a clip about it, but during his Middle East trip I did pick up a clip about Iran.

CHAPTER 33 / 42 Discussion

Democracy Now, Biden in Palestine

Amy Goodman of "Democracy Now" reports on President Biden's visit to Bethlehem and his meeting with Mahmoud Abbas. The report highlights the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh and Biden's refusal to meet with her family, contrasting his rhetoric on media freedom with his administration's actions.

amy goodman· democracy now· palestine· bethlehem· shireen abu akleh

2:22:28 Where is my Iran? Well, you've before cable once you go to that but before you do that I do have one last clip sure which is the same clips that you just heard only this is democracy now is report on Biden in Palestine. Of course, it's the War and Peace Report. This is before he went to Saudi Arabia. We had to talk about Biden in Palestine because as you know, people should know that the, and we've had this told to us by people that produce on Amy's show, Democracy Now, the War and Peace Report, that is sponsored by Qatar.

2:23:05 Qatar? Oh Qatar, yeah Qatar, yes. Yeah the money comes from Qatar. Amy, Amy, wait so Amy the journalist, her money comes from Qatar. Yeah so all she does is bad mouth the Israelis and gives pro-Palestinian reports. Are you telling me she's biased because of her financial backers? That can't be. President Biden has met with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Earlier today, Biden traveled from Israel to the Palestinian Authority's presidential compound in Bethlehem. Along the way is motorcade pass billboards and banners protesting U.S. support for Israel's occupation, as well as the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akhla, who was shot dead by Israel's military last May next to the Jenin refugee camp in a joint news conference with President Abbas.

2:23:56 Biden claimed the U.S. continues to support a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He also defended the U.S. response to the killing of Abu Akhla. She was an American, American citizen and a proud Palestinian. I hope that her legacy, her legacy will inspire more young people to carry on her work of reporting the truth and telling stories that are too often overlooked. The United States will continue to insist on a full and transparent accounting of her death and will continue to stand up for media freedom everywhere in the world. Biden's remarks came after he rejected a request by Shereen Abu Akhla's family to meet with him during his visit to Israel. Abu Akhla's niece, Lina Abu Akhla, wrote

2:24:41 quote, we would like Biden to do in Shireen's case what his and previous U.S. administrations have failed to do when other American citizens were killed by Israel. Hold the killers accountable, she said. And there you have it. I have found my Iran clip about Biden's visits because this you know, we do know that the war in Yemen is a proxy war between Saudi Arabia and Iran. There is apparently a truce. Okay. Why no one told me that? I'm in the same boat as you. I have no idea. They don't mention this on the TV. They don't mention it on radio reports and this woman only said it in passing. So at least we learned something, but this is a problem. We didn't know this. Perhaps they don't want us to know. Military-industrial complex needs more stuff.

CHAPTER 34 / 42 Discussion

Iran Drones, Russia Military Cooperation

White House official John Kirby warned that Iran is preparing to provide Russia with hundreds of armed drones for use in the war in Ukraine. Satellite imagery purportedly shows a Russian delegation visiting an Iranian airfield. Skeptics question why Russia, a major arms exporter, would need to source basic drone technology from Iran.

iran· russia· drones· vladimir putin· john kirby

2:25:33 Hey, here's CBS. Iran especially has been a big focus of the visit. Early Saturday, the White House warned it's now backing Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine by providing armed drones. It released a satellite image purportedly showing armed drones at an airfield in northern Iran on June 8th. and what US officials described as a Russian delegation transport on scene. Iran does have a domestic production capability for drones, and these are lethal drones. We've seen them used in action against US troops. I think this is Morel actually, now that I'm hearing it. No, no, that's Kirby. That's Kirby. Oh, that's Kirby. Gosh, I've done this a couple times. Kirby, Samuel Yeoh, I know, but wow. We've seen them used in action against US troops and US facilities in Iraq and Syria. It's also an indication

2:26:18 of the pressure that's being put on Mr. Putin's war machine, that he himself now has to turn to a country like Iran to resupply his own loss of drones in the war. The Biden trip began with a new agreement between the US and Israel to partner in stopping Iran's nuclear ambitions. Even though Mr. Biden also wants to restart global negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program, something Israel strongly opposes. Send him some more cash. So, a couple things about this. I've been wanting to talk about this anyway. What is the deal that Russians don't have their own drones? They can't make a drone. They're too dumb. And they have to buy drones from Iran, who, as far as I know, they've been banned from getting any semiconductor products of any sort that can make a drone or could control one. It's just that this story makes no sense to me. Yeah, it's a setup for something.

2:27:16 There's something phony about this Iran drones. I mean they're gonna either, they're either, it's either a... Well Israel needs to defend Ukraine because in Ukraine the Russians are killing Americans so Israel can bomb Iran and that's, that's the easiest... It's something convoluted. That's the only thing I can really see happening. But yes, once again, we're not really being told the story. It's obvious. It's obvious that that's going on. No, especially when you have Kirby up there. He's like a... Stooge. Stooge. Stooge. But yeah, so it makes no sense to me that...

2:27:54 I mean, the Russians are like second to us in so far as high technology armaments are concerned. I mean, they have some of the best jets in the world. They have missiles better than ours. They have rocket engines that are better than ours in general. We have to use their rocket engines for most of our stuff. I mean, there's a lot of things and it's like now all of a sudden they're going to of all places, Iran? For drones? NASA just confirmed a deal with, what is it, Roscoe Space or whatever that outfit is called, for joint trips to the space, was it the International Space Station? And they will be transporting the Russians. Don't worry. You're all good with us. SpaceX?

2:28:38 No, I think it's NASA. I don't think it's SpaceX. But it was NASA made, whoever does the actual tender, I don't know, but NASA made this agreement. That doesn't really fit either. Like if we're really at war, if they're really like the, the, the NERG, as the NERG says, you know, they're killing Americans over there in Ukraine. We shouldn't be doing anything. Anyway, we know it's a whole thing is Scamish. We have something to celebrate John. I'm very happy and something changed on the world stage Well, let me hit the jingle first You're entitled to the truth So here's the millennial minute

2:29:27 We love our millennials. Yeah, you know, we love our millennials. We need a, we need a Jeff Smith jingle. We need a Jeff Smith jingle. Jeff Smith, where are you? So I incorrectly thought that Denmark was still at the top of the list of global antidepressants per 1000 people. I'm here to announce that Denmark has lost its top leadership position. Oh no. Yep, they are now down to number five. Number five. And only 85 people are on antidepressants per 1,000. So what is that? 8% of the entire population? 8.5, yeah.

CHAPTER 35 / 42 Discussion

Global Antidepressant Rankings, US Number One

The United States has overtaken Denmark as the world leader in antidepressant use, with 11% of the population prescribed these medications. Iceland, Australia, and Canada follow closely in the rankings. The shift marks a significant change in global mental health statistics and pharmaceutical consumption.

2:28:38 No, I think it's NASA. I don't think it's SpaceX. But it was NASA made, whoever does the actual tender, I don't know, but NASA made this agreement. That doesn't really fit either. Like if we're really at war, if they're really like the, the, the NERG, as the NERG says, you know, they're killing Americans over there in Ukraine. We shouldn't be doing anything.

2:29:27 We love our millennials. Yeah, you know, we love our millennials. We need a, we need a Jeff Smith jingle. We need a Jeff Smith jingle. Jeff Smith, where are you? So I incorrectly thought that Denmark was still at the top of the list of global antidepressants per 1000 people. I'm here to announce that Denmark has lost its top leadership position. Oh no. Yep, they are now down to number five. Number five. And only 85 people are on antidepressants per 1,000. So what is that? 8% of the entire population? 8.5, yeah.

2:30:14 Who do you think is next? Right above Denmark. Another very... Denmark, as we know, is one of the happiest places on earth. Do you want to do a countdown from four to one? Yes, okay. Number four. Number four. Number four. Sweden. No, I'm sorry. Sweden is actually number six. Number six with 70... I'll just do it like this. 7.9% of the population is drugged. Holland. No, no surprisingly the Netherlands very low. I can't they're like number 15 only 4.2 percent. Okay what is the answer? Number four on our list with 8.6 percent. Ladies and gentlemen give it up for Canada.

2:30:56 I don't blame the Canadians in the case because they got that Trudeau guy they can't seem to get out of office. And by the way, the Trudeau guy that is stuck in office, that is the reason a parliamentary democracy doesn't work. Number three on our list. Number three. Can you give a guess who is number three with 8.9%? It is the winners from Down Under, Australia. Ah, makes sense. The number two happiest place on earth with 10.6% of all people on antidepressants is that hotbed of fun activity, Iceland! Iceland! Oh, that's interesting. I think they may be number two with a bullet. I'm not quite sure where they came up from. I have to look at last year's standing.

It wasn't for the damn communists that are trying to ruin everything. We got a note from one of our producers and I wanted to share this because I've been looking at the effects of SSRIs and antidepressants and really why no one discusses it because it seems to be kind of a part of all of our problems. I had just a guess. Especially the mass shootings, hello. Go on. This is from his, one of our producers, he will remain anonymous and he says, you've been talking about Adderall, as Adam calls it, legal meth. He says, unfortunately, I have a very bad story about Adderall and Vyvanse, which we know Vyvanse is the time release version of meth. My girlfriend at the time, he's no longer his girlfriend, had been prescribed Adderall and Vyvanse, not at the same time, for about four years for ADD.

She took it as prescribed for a while and it worked great for her, helping her graduate college, which she had struggled with for six years before getting on the meds. And all of a sudden last summer something changed and she literally started going crazy. I didn't know what was happening for a while. I thought maybe she was developing schizophrenia or something. She was paranoid about her phone being hacked, people constantly following her and that all her friends and colleagues were collaborating on some elaborate plot against her. She tore our apartment apart looking for bugs and cameras. It was insane. After months of this, I happened to be talking to a friend who knew someone who went through this very same thing, and he had been clinically diagnosed with Adderall-induced psychosis.

CHAPTER 36 / 42 Discussion

Adderall Induced Psychosis, Vyvanse Dangers

A listener shares a harrowing account of "Adderall-induced psychosis" experienced by a former girlfriend. The narrative describes how a standard prescription for ADD led to severe paranoia, delusions of being hacked, and eventual arrest. The segment warns about the dangers of highly prescribed stimulants like Vyvanse and their similarity to methamphetamines.

She tore our apartment apart looking for bugs and cameras. It was insane. After months of this, I happened to be talking to a friend who knew someone who went through this very same thing, and he had been clinically diagnosed with Adderall-induced psychosis.

2:33:33 So my ex-girlfriend ended up going to a treatment center to get clean, which she probably wouldn't have done if she hadn't gotten arrested because she was addicted to this stuff. And sure enough, that's what they told her too. Adderall-induced psychosis. When she got out, she told me that a lot of the people in the treatment center were meth addicts and they had the exact same paranoia. Even after she got out and had been clean for a month, she's still having delusions. And it's not been easy. Luckily, she recently started on some anti-psychotics or something that seems to be helping out. So yeah, this stuff is dangerous and scary. I had never heard of Adderall-induced psychosis. Why would you? There's not gonna talk about something like that.

2:34:14 But this is the most common... By the way, the antipsychotics would do something else. Yeah, but this is... probably. This is one of the most prescribed... I mean, kids use this as currency in colleges. I mean, the Adderall is flowing free, flowing, Vyvanse, all this stuff. This kind of psychosis, that could set anybody off at any point. Let's just ignore that. And of course what it's used for the best is what Dr. Jill Biden told us. Reminder, she is not a real medical doctor. She's a teacher. You turn down the news on the TV telling you about people who want to stop you from doing your job and you put your shoulders back and you just go out and focus on your students. She's talking to teachers.

CHAPTER 37 / 42 Discussion

MDMA Clinical Trials, Amygdala Activation

Clinical reports on MDMA suggest the drug temporarily shuts off the amygdala, which is why it is being studied for the treatment of PTSD. The hosts discuss the history of the drug in Silicon Valley and its effects on social behavior, contrasting it with the negative side effects of SSRIs and stimulants.

mdma· ptsd· amygdala· ecstasy· clinical trials

2:35:07 Yes, Dr. Jill. There is so much weight on all of you, but you carry it. Our schools are where policies become people. Yeah! There it is. Oh, that's pretty profound. That's a great catch. Our schools are where policies become people. That's right. You drug them up, by the way. Or turn them into tacos. I got this great report, a medical report. The effects of MDMA activation, if you take MDMA, if it's pure MDMA, this is a clinical trial, it literally shuts off your amygdala temporarily.

2:36:05 No wonder kids love it. Can you imagine? Oh, there's plenty of people that love it. But it's the Molly, it's the party drug, ecstasy, it's where you go to let loose. Put them on this all the time. I think it wasn't MDMA developed to for PTSD in soldiers. I don't know what it was developed for. I don't even, you know, I thought there was not even I never used it, never tried it. I had no interest because of the people that I know that were using it or use it constantly or at least not constantly. Losers, losers, right?

2:36:45 No, they were all pretty successful. Oh, okay. And but they always had this kind of, you know, they would use it on the weekends as a and they would go on. That's the reason why I wouldn't use it if they go. I don't want it. I remember there's this lawyer woman that used to be on Silicon Spin all the time until the who's very entertaining. And she, I think she works for Google now. And she would, you know, she'd come, we were at some event or something we're doing at the W and then she comes in and I looked at her and I said, you're on E or whatever reference was at the time. And... How did you know? You could tell by looking at her.

2:37:29 It was this, and this every time I've seen anyone that's using this stuff, they have this shitting grin. It's like, ah, that noise you make all the time, that kind of silly sound that you make. It's like that is epitomized in their appearance. Kind of like a, ah, kind of a thing. And I say, yeah, she admits to it. And so, you know, it's, And that's what I saw this. Did you get healthy? Did you get her number? She was on the show all the time. I didn't need her number. Just kidding. Seems like she'd be a good target. She was with some other, she was with one of her boyfriends and he was wasted too. Wasted. Nice. So they're talking, you know, they like to touch each other. Do you get on the stuff?

2:38:21 You know, you rubbed their skin, they're touching each other. They're caressing a little more than normal people do under any circumstances. Yeah. So then there's another guy, a famous columnist, I won't use his name, but he was at the San Francisco Examiner and he was a big advocate of using this stuff. And every time I see him, he looked like he was half dead. Because he'd use it constantly. Every weekend he'd be partying with this MDMA. And he's like, you okay? Yeah, no, good, I'm good. And then he'd die and over time he'd be, yeah, not good. Goodness, you've had a lot more experience with people on E than I have. I mean, nobody. I don't think I've ever been around it.

2:39:13 No, it was a big deal out here. Oh, no, I know it's a big deal. I know friends who claim to do it and they love it, but I get no time for it, honestly. And that was the same thing with DMT. Like, I love the 20 minutes. Great. I'm tripping. I see pixies. Woo! Shit's alive. I love it. And then for 48 hours... You should slow down. Slow down, Adam. And for 48 hours, exactly. I'm dead tired. My eyes are droopy. It's not about the high. This MDMA must really have a hard effect on you. But I didn't know about the amygdala thing, but it makes some sense because they have this very bright outlook. They're not bad people to be around. If somebody's on E,

2:39:56 They're fine to be around. It's not like some of you don't know what the hell is going to happen if, you know, if someone's on crack or even acid, you know, they can jump out the window. Who the hell knows what's going to happen? I just think this is pretty, you know, OK. Yeah, but this is my point. This is and I think MDMA. Is this something you can make from natural elements or is it all synthesized? It must be synthesized. I don't know. I haven't even looked into the chemistry of it. Well, here's what's going to happen. We'll have a lot of people telling me, I'm wrong. You don't know what you're talking about. Correct. I don't. I don't know anything about it. But I think that if I had to choose, I would rather put my kid on MDMA. It seems like that's something you would chill your kid out with and be love and teacher or stroke my skin.

2:40:39 Instead of the Adderall with possible Adderall-induced psychosis, I mean, they really don't care about our children. They're giving them the wrong meds. No, they need to open up. This is ridiculous. And the fact that we're number one on the SSRI thing or whatever it is, it's ridiculous. I'm going to show my support by donating to KnowAgenda. Imagine all the people who could do that. Oh yeah, that'd be fab. Boom finger number one! Party time. Raymond Haas is top of the list for the people who helped us do this show. He's in McKinney, Texas and he came in with $111.11. Thanks. Thank you, brother. Good for him. Benjamin Ditzler in Kennesaw, Georgia. $100.69.

She has a note that's worth reading. Why don't you read it? She says, donation! She took it quite literally. Listen, put only donation in the subject line.

Now, we don't typically read these notes, but sometimes it's just something of interest. And he says, I heard Curry on the Glenn Beck show and looked for the podcast. See, it works, John. I bring audience. You do. I listened here and there for a while and for a couple of months I have done it consistently. Having Dvorak on the show is definitely a bonus. You're a bonus! He was my favorite tech guy columnist. It's about you're a bonus.

I don't know what's gonna happen there. They've always got turmoil. Richard Futter in London, UK... Yeah, but they have the European Monetary Unit, they have the euro, so if they screw up, they screw it up for everybody. Yes, this is a fact. He's in London, Richard. Hugo Salgado in Chicago, Illinois. Oh, geez. We don't read his note.

2:44:46 Sir Luke Rayner, the Earl of London and the Southeast, another Londoner coming in for 5432. They must have had a meetup or something recently. Christopher Pike in Garrard, Kansas, 51. The following people, again, this is a slow day. I should mention to everybody, this is a very slow day, but we have the $50 donors naming locations starting with Sir Chris Lewinsky in Sherwood Park, Alberta, Jamie Hilliard in New Noonan, Georgia. Mary Broun in McKinleyville, California. I have no idea where that is. Nathan Cochran in Franklin, Tennessee. Philip Ballou in Louisville, Kentucky. Josh Adair floating around. He's an APO box.

2:45:38 James Edmondson, South Plainfield, New Jersey. John Camp in Antlers, Oklahoma, one of my favorite names of the city. Stephen Shoemake in Zinnia, Ohio, 50. And last, or last two is Sir Jerry Wingenroth there in Saugus, California, and Daniel Galloway, Sir Spud the Mighty in Marietta, Georgia for 50 bucks. And he's concerned about this note getting through. and he was making the knighthood and there's a note here we have to read it because it's a knighting and that's up to you Adam. I became a knight back on episode 1121 making a large enough donation to be an executive producer. I'm doing the same here. My regular $50 a month contribution has been adding up and this check should afford me both my second executive producer credit. Uh okay. But it doesn't come that way. It came in as 50.

2:46:30 Right. Okay, so I'm not sure what that's about, but I'd also make me a baron. Okay, that seems correct. I am assuming an unquestioned claim to the Villa Straylight and I appoint John Fletcher as my sheriff as he wouldn't shoot anyone who didn't need it and Carolyn Blaney my magistrate because she would be fair to my denizens. No jingles, no karma, soon to be barren spud the mighty, a village stray light. Well we have you on the list and I'd say that's happening momentarily. Thank you to these producers, thanks to everyone under $50 for reasons of anonymity, I see at least two there, and of course we have people sustaining the show on days like today, you're sustaining donation which

2:47:12 Which is one of the subscriptions that we have. Those really do help. If you'd like to learn more, go here. We do have, if I'm not mistaken, a couple of make-goods. Jonathan Walker, yes, he donated $333.33 last time and I believe that he sent it to the wrong email address. Notes? Yeah, he sent it to a bunch of fictitious email addresses. Notes at noagendashow.net. It's three Ns. I humbly make the following request. I request the title Sir Quigley of the Kangtankerous. That's been done. I request Bullet Rye and Barbacoa at the roundtable. What's Barbacoa? Barbacoa is...

2:47:54 You always have an answer. I love that. I think it's goat. I think it's goat maybe. I'm not, I don't have, you don't see it much. You see barbacoa mostly at taco stands and it's a taco meat in Texas. You could have just said taco meat. Taco meat. I think it's goat. He says, request all nights dames and douchebags in the Houston area join me at the new monthly meetup every third Thursday at the Rodeo Goat in downtown H-Town. Much fun to be had by all. Now there's a goat again. Goat. Yep, there's always a goat in the mix. And then James Jackson, this is also from the previous episode. In the morning gents, my father-in-law has been battling esophageal cancer for a few months now and he gets a cancer scan tomorrow. So unfortunately we missed that because we didn't get the note. We need some no agenda prayers and good karma vibes from the community. Bob is an amazing father, grandfather, hunter, badass son of a bitch. I'll bet he is.

2:48:52 The nicest person I've ever met with the kindest blue eyes. When you look into his eyes, it's like hearing the Beatles for the first time. Hence why I married his daughter. And he'd like some F cancer, understandably. So we'll do that along with some Jobs cancer and we'll get at it. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs and Jobs. Let's vote for Jobs. You thought Karma I am a venge- AHH, you done it again! I hate you! No, no, you stop me! Do it! What? Barbacoa.

2:49:31 It's typically made out of- It's about the taco meat too! You are the worst, the worst in the universe! Just kidding. You don't wanna know the whole story? No, no, no, no! I don't wanna know about your taco meat. Go away from me. No, no, I'm gonna do the birthdays. Go away with your taco meat. Laura Slegel, happy birthday to her son Morgan, 27 today. Dame Miao-dison celebrates tomorrow. Dame Bully-steed, happy birthday to Aaron Sinclair on the 19th. Sir Kurt, happy birthday to Suzanne and Patrick Vivier says happy birthday to Kendra Vivier. And we say happy birthday to all of you from the entire back office and staff and management at No Agenda Show. And on behalf of the Taco Maids.

2:50:22 We got Dame Meowdeson who stepped up with her additional $1,000 to bring her to the title of Baroness of Central Florida. Sir Kurt of the Frozen North becomes Sir Kurt Baron of the Frozen North. There you go, a barony for him. And Sir Spud the Mighty becomes Baron of the Villa Straylight. And we thank these Barons and Baroness for their kind support of the No Agenda show. Alright, now I'm ready to listen about the taco meat. Come on. You've walked away. You closed the book on the taco meat. Just for people to know, a couple of things you should know if you'd buy these street tacos. I always thought barbacoa was just goat, but it turns out it's made from the tougher cuts of any meat and requires long, slow cooking. That's according to Google though. And it could be beef. In Mexico, it's usually beef, goat, lamb or mutton.

2:51:20 But I should mention this little detail, burrito, which is the hot taco meat. Oh, they got burrito. So that's the hot. That's what you want to get on your current tacos if you're trendy. Really should be goat. Really? I got that from Patty Heneich on her show. You're scaring our pet goat. It should be goat. A birria should be goat tacos. You always ask your vendor if it's goat or beef. There you go. If it's not goat, it's not genuine. There you go, everybody. On behalf of the NOA Agenda Show, enjoy your goat taco. It's official. It's how you should love it. Give me that blade you just slaughtered the goat with. You got something? Oh, there's blood all over it.

2:52:03 Ah, Suzanne, Jonathan Walker, Alan Dix, and John pop up here on the podium. All four of you have reached the status of Knight or Dame of the Noah-Jenner Roundtable. Thank you very much for your support. And I'm very proud to pronounce the K-V as Dame Suzanne of the Frozen North.

Indiana Abortion Investigation, 10-Year-Old Case

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is investigating Dr. Kaitlyn Bernard following her performance of an abortion on a 10-year-old rape survivor. The case has drawn national attention, with "Democracy Now" reporting that the procedure was a medication abortion. Critics have questioned the validity of the original story as reported in the media.

2:56:47 You wanna be where everybody feels the same. It's like a party. Alright, now we're at ISOs. Unless you have something important about taco meat. No, I'm done with my taco spiel. It's the one time. It's a radio guy thing, ladies and gentlemen. All right, do you have ISOs to share with us? I got one only. Oh boy. That's because I figured I couldn't get better than this. End of show, you hear the following. Here it goes. Sure, yeah. I think I can beat you. Sure, yeah. I think I can beat you. You think you can beat me? Sure, yeah. Yeah, sure, yeah.

2:57:33 I just love Biden's creepy laugh. How about this? Nobody will be safe if not everybody is vaccinated. No, I didn't think you'd like that one either. It's too long. It's cute though. I think this is the one. I need breast milk! I think that's the one. See? When you get a laugh, it's a winner. Yeah, that's a good one. Now, I want everyone to notice how I did that. I expertly softened you up. I got you. Now I know how it works. Now, they all know how it works. They're not fools. So let's try this, though. Try the breast milk thing and they sure, yeah. Oh, you just want to weasel into my action.

2:58:12 No, no, no, no, no, no. I'll give it a shot, but I need breast milk. Sure. Yeah. No, it doesn't work. Oh man. It nails it. He says, no, I'll consider it. I'll consider it. Consider it. One last clip. Is it, is it your one last step? Yeah. Let me, let me just see. Cause I have a lot of stuff left over. Let me see what my one last clip will be. Hmm. Death and destruction of the cattle. We haven't talked at all about it. No, go ahead. Hit me with your last clip and I'll see. OK, now we did discussion about the 10 year old rape. Oh, yes. We have a perp. We have someone who can. Yeah, they got the guy and the rest of it. And then the woman, the doctor, is reported as being investigated for. But they never say what for. But she seems to be investigated for a false police report.

2:59:09 The whole situation may be sketchy. The whole situation may be sketchy. Let's listen. And where would you get the information? There's a little kicker in here you haven't heard any place else. It's on Democracy Now! It's Amy. And here we go. Meanwhile in Indiana, the doctor who recently performed an abortion, on a 10-year-old rape survivor is now under investigation. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita announced the probe against Dr. Kaitlyn Bernard in an interview with Fox News' Jesse Watters Wednesday night. We're gathering the information, we're gathering the evidence as we speak and we're going to fight this to the end, including looking at her licensure.

2:59:51 Jesse Waters' primetime was among the shows on Fox News casting doubt on the 10-year-old child's rape story. In response to the investigation, Dr. Kaitlyn Bernard tweeted, quote, "'My heart breaks for all survivors of sexual assault and abuse. I am so sad that our country is failing them when they need us most.'" Doctors must be able to give people the medical care they need when and where they need it, she said. Abortion is still legal in Indiana up to 22 weeks into a pregnancy. The abortion performed on the 10-year-old girl was actually a medication abortion. She took several pills. Medication abortion! Oh, she had plan B. This whole thing reeks of being a scam.

3:00:41 Well, this is, they're out. Medical abort. Oh my goodness. But there's limits. I mean, you know, I'm not a doctor, you're not a doctor, but you're right. This whole thing has scam written over it. God bless this girl if it's real because this is so disgusting. These eugenicists, that's what they are. They are. They just want less people and they'll go over anybody's... Yeah, they're just ghouls. That's a downer to leave on, so let's leave on something less downer-ish. Here we go.

CHAPTER 42 / 42 Discussion

BMW Feature Subscription, Vehicle as Service

BMW has introduced a subscription model for vehicle features, such as an $18 monthly fee for heated seats and charges for high beam assistance. This "Vehicle as a Service" trend is compared to historical IBM leasing scams. The show concludes with a discussion on the planned obsolescence of electric vehicle batteries.

3:01:17 Did you know that it is now possible to equip your BMW with additional features and functions over the air? Here is an example. The BMW High Beam Assistant. It switches to high beam automatically. Press the button and you will see that you can easily upgrade your BMW. At the connected drive store, you are able to order the High Beam Assistant. Within five minutes, your BMW will be upgraded. Oh, please! The high beam assistant is just one of many features that you can upgrade your BMW with. And there are more to come. This is a scam that goes back to the 50s. This is IBM used to pull this stunt. They did it with this. The first example that I know of is what somebody called a line printer they used to sell with their big machines.

3:02:13 And the line printer would print at some speed, it was whatever it was, it was like 80 characters a second or 20. And then they would say, oh, you wanna buy the upgrade? You wanna buy an upgraded printer? And they say, yeah, we'll pay another 10 grand for this upgraded new printer. You have to lease it, by the way, it's a lease deal. And all they did, according to my friends that work at IBM, is they'd go in there and change the belt. Yeah, the old printer well, but now it prints twice as fast great upgrade. Thank you. I would say that Elon Musk probably up the ante there as You know if they basically give you the full-blown fast car, but they detune it And if you want the faster car software, yeah, it's all software They also the heated seats in the BMW is also an add-on $18 a month for heated seats and

3:03:07 And this, they're going to- Echors, where are you? This is, this is vehicles as a service, man. It's over. It's disgusting. It's disgusting. You said my little comment about Google was bad. This was, this disgusts me. And you know what? Your electric vehicle that you have, trust me, it's going to function just like your iPhone 6 in a couple of years. You know where the battery just runs down to a piece of crap and you have to upgrade. You have to get the new one. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's going to be great. And we'll be there to report on it because we got nothing better to do and no money to leave.

3:05:36 My favorite big booty Latina She wants to kill babies, but she's still beautiful. Look at that big ass. You look very sexy. Sexually threatening, aggressive behavior. Look at that booty on AOC. It is dangerous. That's my favorite big booty Latina. You look very sexy. She said, hey, pool with it. You look very beautiful in that dress. Look at that big, juicy booty.

All the bunch of racist, sexist stuff. And we offer hope to the American people who treasure our freedoms and who are overwhelmingly with us in our mission to defend them. What do Republicans have in store next? You can't travel to buy a book. You can't travel to see a concert or a play. Okay, good questions. Fauci also publicly floated a vaccine mandate for air travel. You need to get to go and need to be able to get where you need to go to do the work and get home. If they doesn't meet there, shall we say,

3:07:10 I'm going to use the word standards. There's there what there are those on the other side of the aisle who have this anti-vax plan and it's anti-science that would remove all COVID safety protections and would end vaccination requirements that people get shots in the I don't think it should be mandatory. I wouldn't demand to be mandatory, but I would do everything in my power. It's like I don't think masks have to be made mandatory nationwide. The Supreme Court has just issued two rulings on one of the president's more controversial measures to battle COVID, vaccine mandates for private employers. We need more money to plan for the second pandemic. There's going to be another pandemic. Dr. Fauci, great to see you again. If you haven't received a shot this year,

3:07:56 a booster or your second vaccine dose. If you have not received a shot in 2022, how much has your immunity weighed? Considerably. I mean, when you weigh, the thing that is important to note is that immunity against infection wanes pretty quickly and it goes way, way down. You can't travel to see a concert or a play. A disgusting mess of kids complaining. Our world is already in flames. You're here. because our parents trashed the planet and it's up to our generation to save it. The sky is getting hotter. We can't breathe. I believe my soul's on fire. This is a revolution. It doesn't matter how much we're taxed if we don't have an Earth to live on. We need to do more instead of having a corrupt president who won't acknowledge that the Earth is literally dying.

3:08:52 Because every day of inaction drives poor A.C.E. to profit! Those are the facts of this world, and you will all surrender to them! You pigs in human clothing! I'm disgusted by this. The best podcast in the universe! MoFo. Dvorak.org slash N-A. I'd rath spill! Sure, yeah.
