About this episode

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock sparked domestic outrage this week by declaring her unwavering support for Ukraine regardless of the opinions of German voters. Speaking at a conference, Baerbock acknowledged that high energy prices may trigger winter street protests but insisted her commitment to sanctions against Russia remains absolute. Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the mobilization of 10 billion euros in military aid for Ukraine while announcing a 300 billion euro Repower EU initiative to end dependency on Russian fossil fuels.

The European Union is currently fast-tracking an emergency intervention into the electricity market to combat skyrocketing prices through carbon repricing and the Emissions Trading System. In France, tax authorities are utilizing Google-developed AI surveillance to identify 20,000 undeclared swimming pools via aerial imagery, generating 10 million dollars in new revenue. Simultaneously, the FDA authorized bivalent COVID-19 boosters from Pfizer and Moderna based on mouse testing data, a move defended by chief scientist Peter Marks to stay ahead of evolving variants. In the United States, CDC data reveals life expectancy has plummeted to 76 years, the lowest level since the 1940s, as pharmaceutical giants establish new obesity divisions to manage a population where 100 million citizens are now diabetic.

Cultural shifts take center stage as the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards face scrutiny for heavy triangular symbolism and Doritos-themed stage designs. In a lighter moment, retail workers in Washington report a growing inability among millennials to read analog clocks, while the late Mikhail Gorbachev is remembered for his complicated legacy following his death at age 91. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct these stories through the value-for-value model.

Alexander Dugin, Glenn Beck, Russian Oil Executive Deaths

The deaths of several Russian oil executives, including a Lukoil chairman who fell from a hospital balcony, are noted as suspicious given their opposition to the Ukraine conflict. Glenn Beck's March 2022 interview regarding Alexander Dugin is revisited, highlighting Dugin's "Fourth Political Theory" and his influence on Vladimir Putin's rhetoric regarding the Russian Empire. Dugin is characterized as a dangerous figure who utilizes religious and nationalist language to appeal to big-government advocates.

00:00 Every single one is dead. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora It's Thursday September 1st 2022 this is your award-winning Kimmel Nation Media assassination episode 1482 This Is No Agenda Trusting the mice and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where we have a motto Don't become an executive at a Russian oil company. I'm John C. Dvorak. while smoking. Oh no! He went out to smoke and then fell off the balcony and died I mean, oh no How do these... you've got a wonder how do these things happen? Coincidentally he was against the Ukrainian... Oh he was against the regime? Yeah he said something negative Well these are not good things to do this is very bad

01:12 I don't know why these guys haven't got a clue. It just baffles me! You know, it's interesting you bring that up because someone sent me a clip and when was I in Glenbeck? Back in March, I think? Yeah, March 5th 2022 and did you see any of that interview? Probably not... Yes, quite a bit of it So he brought something up. But I was more kind of interested in the aftermath where he goes on and on about you being his brother Yeah, I haven't heard much from him since Hey just like a real brother! Yeah exactly when i email him he does email back but that's about it He said something in that interview which at the time didn't register with me I had no idea who we were talking about but its kind of telling

02:04 Well, evaluate maybe for yourself. Let's see we'll go back to March 2022 and he brings up Alexander Dugan the guy whose daughter was just blowed up Have you read any Alexander Dugan? No. Let me recommend you read the fourth political theory, he in fact just wrote another one that's just out and it is about the great reset versus something else and he is somebody who is extraordinarily dangerous but He's using the language. He is appealing to the big government people and he's using religion, The Homeland, our families, our children... And you'll read probably I don't know half of the book and you go,

02:59 With half of this you know that's always a tricky part right the other half is in insanity He's big. He's the guy who? was behind the Crimea Invasion and Putin strangely was using a lot of his language when he was talking about the Russian Empire So what does this tell us about Beck? But in March he was bringing up Dugan and how Dugan is kind of like, you know He uses words like homeland You know clearly pointing towards Dugan being a bad guy but a good guy at the same time I don't know just that struck me. I didn't register it all when we were talking on the show Well nobody ever heard of this Dugan before this happened This is what but this way before this happened That's the point well why was Glenn Beck been bringing it up?

03:52 It could be just a coincidence, but Beck is one of those guys who's always been kind of plugged into some underground information. Remember when he used to be at Fox and he set up these put people's names all over a blackboard and start drawing arrows? And they started going from here to there to here to there. Of course they always end up with Soros at the end of it. And rightfully so! Maybe Dugan has got something to do with Soros There you go, which might be worth looking into. We have a little update on Ukraine, might as well stick here while we're at it. Turning overseas now amid fierce fighting in southern Ukraine international nuclear inspectors are set to take a first-hand look at Europe's largest nuclear power plant which has been rattled in fighting in recent weeks sparking fears of a major disaster the inspectors met today with President Zelensky who called the nuclear plant a top priority for the safety of Ukraine and the world

CHAPTER 02 / 44 Discussion

Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant, IAEA Inspection

International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors, led by Rafael Grossi, traveled through Ukrainian territory to reach the Russian-controlled Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The mission aims to assess physical damage and safety systems following weeks of shelling that forced the facility to rely on diesel generators for reactor cooling. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky emphasized the plant's safety as a global priority during meetings with the inspection team.

zaporozhye· iaea· rafael grossi· ukraine· nuclear safety· zelensky

04:50 I like how they say, and Ukraine and the world. Whereas if that thing blows up... And I still haven't heard from Atomic Rod. Is it so that a nuclear power plant by definition will blow up? No! ...and create a cloud if its a bomb? I don't think so. I really don't. It's just one of these like okay.... Let me have some clips on this thing By the way you seem a little over clipped today You know, it was one of those things I didn't expect this. Mm-hmm. I clip until the box of clips fills up and then you decided to fill up another one? Well it was an accident. That's okay! It wasn't a surprise. Ukraine nuke plant loses power The team of UN experts is in southern Ukraine to inspect a nuclear complex that has been shelled for weeks NPR's Frank Langford has more from Odessa

05:49 The inspectors are traveling from Kiev through mostly Ukrainian controlled territory to the Zaporozhye power plant in southern Ukraine. However, Russian forces control the plant and the team will have to cross the war's front lines to get there. The Russian installed occupation government which is not internationally recognized said it would not issue the team a pass today and the group would arrive at the plan Thursday. International Atomic Energy Agency says that he will look at safety systems assess damage on the conditions under which the Ukrainian workers operated. Last week, fighting temporarily cut power to the facility operators then used diesel generators to keep water pumping to cool the reactor cores to prevent a meltdown." Wait a minute... So the nuclear reactor needs power? To run?! You heard exact same thing I did! That's weird! The nuclear plant creates power

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

Annalena Baerbock, German Voter Sentiment, Ukraine Sanctions

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock stated at a conference that she intends to maintain sanctions against Russia and support Ukraine regardless of the opinions of German voters. Despite acknowledging that high energy prices may lead to street protests during the winter, Baerbock emphasized her personal commitment to Ukraine over domestic political pressure. This stance is criticized as a disregard for democratic accountability and the economic welfare of German citizens.

annalena baerbock· germany· ukraine· sanctions· energy prices· democracy

06:44 Yeah, can't you just put that into the input? Wouldn't you think? Sounds reasonable. Huh! Well I have a couple clips to get out of the way because if we look at what has happened now and what's been announced there in the past week we can look forward to this happening worldwide and nothing exemplifies it better than the German foreign minister who was discussing her commitment, her personal commitment. Not that of the voters, but her personal commitment to Ukraine. Whatever it takes! Listen to this... But if I give the promise to people in Ukraine we stand with you as long as you need us then i want to deliver no matter what my German voter think but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine and this is why for me it's important to be always very frank and clear

07:43 And this means every measure I'm taking, I have to be clear that this holds on as long as Ukraine needs me. We are facing now winter time where we will be challenged as democratic politicians People will go on the street and say we cannot pay our energy prices And I will say, yes I know so we help you with social measures. But i don't want to say okay then we stop the sanctions against Russia We will stand with Ukraine and this means the sanction will stay also in winter time even if it gets really tough for politicians. I love how she's worried about how tough its gonna be for politicians with people rioting on the streets She doesn't even see what that means

08:26 And she says it blatantly. What does she say when she says, I don't care what you voters think? Listen, it's right in the beginning that is what she said. But if I give the promise to people in Ukraine we stand with you as long as you need us then I want to deliver no matter what my German voter thinks but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine. What she basically said was whatever we have to do for Ukraine screw you Germans! That's exactly it. What the hell kind of a leadership do they have over there? How did the Germans put up with this? Oh, the Germans are beyond repair and I think in general every country is beyond repair They don't know the mechanism to stop the insanity They think they voted for people who will stop it or... And you know The only resort as this woman says Even when people are on the streets Well that's...and she won't care even when people are on the streets

CHAPTER 04 / 44 Discussion

Ursula von der Leyen, EU Military Budget, Bled Strategic Forum

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered a speech at the Bled Strategic Forum addressing the geopolitical alliance between Russia and China. She confirmed that the European Union has mobilized over 10 billion euros in financial support for Ukraine and is utilizing the EU budget for military equipment for the first time. Von der Leyen asserted that Ukraine must win the war to preserve the "rules-based global order" and the inviolability of borders.

ursula von der leyen· european union· bled strategic forum· military budget· russia· china

09:24 It's amazing to me. So, but this is by directive This is coming from the top and Queen Ursula had a prime time speech this week. Did you see any of Ursula von der Leyen's speech? I have three clips and i think we should go through them as she is very clear where we stand, what we're doing and what is coming next! She actually will tell us what is coming next and it's one of our old friends so let's start off Queen Ursula at the um... This was the Bled Forum not quite sure where that is sounds like

10:02 Scotland or Ireland thing where the blood forum is And here she is laying out the situation as it is today. This year's headline perfectly sums up the most relevant question of our times Will the rule of power replace the power of rule? And I believe that the answer to this question boils down to one line. What could it be? Yeah, yeah go ahead. There's no such thing as the rule of power so how can it be replacing the power of rule which is even more stupid what is she talking about

10:45 Hey, just put a little... She's making stuff up? Yeah. The rule of power? Just the power of rule? The power of rule! That would be I would say might be a spin-off of Power of law or something. Yeah, that's yeah, that's lawful the power of rule I mean the power of rule isn't that a ruler? A Rule like a queen like Ursula or some other Queen the power of rule You're right haterships what she does yes now we got it It's the power of rule and I believe that the answer to this question Boils down to one line okay

11:25 It all depends on the power of democracy. Oh! It all depends on our capacity to uphold fundamental principles, to resist aggression... Aha! ...to protect our values and our friends. Uh-oh here it goes! It is no understatement to say that the world has been watching our response to Russia's aggression Very closely. There it is, first two minutes of the speech. The stakes are clear to everyone! Yes At the beginning of this year Russia and China have openly declared a so-called unlimited friendship And only weeks later Russia launched its war against Ukraine Weeks later Listen to this That's her timeline now First they got together with China

12:21 So, alert! Alert! We got a problem with China and then weeks later as if planned because of their union. Not because of anything else NATO did or Zelensky said about nuclear weapons... No no no Or 2014? Or us going into Ukraine and causing a coup Yeah that was all Alexander Dugin-Putin It doesn't count No it doesn't count That was all Putin-Dugin-Putin The message couldn't be more explicit. So if we are to preserve basic principles such as self-determination and the inviolability of borders,

13:00 Putin... How about freedom of speech? How about freedom of movement? There's a couple other things she left out there, but she only gives us a couple things. Such as self-determination and the inviolability of borders. Okay. Putin cannot win this war! And Ukraine must win this war. That's clear! Putin cannot win this war!! This is absolutely clear. Yes. I'm surprised she doesn't. I think something's like this, Putin cannot win this war if we have to kill every Ukrainian! Seems that way... Every single one is dead We're not gonna let Putin win this war That's right that's pretty much what she saying And not win this war and Ukraine must win this world This is absolutely clear Okay Yes Thank you Ursula Thank You Queen The elites agree

13:59 And this is why we have mobilized our economic might like never before. In a matter of days and weeks, we have approved the most far-reaching sanctions ever implemented – and the sanctions are causing colossal damage to the Kremlin's ability to wage war Putin himself has admitted it. And the damage will only grow over time. Besides this, we have supported financially Ukraine with more than 10 billion euros since the beginning of the war and I'm not including the bilateral support of our member states

14:39 And we are working on the next tranche. More has to come for Ukraine, this is very clear my message to our member states. That's right forget about your people freezing because we don't care what the voters want no-no We must win Ukraine! This is where the money's going... and we used for the first time ever resources from the European budget on military equipment to sustain Ukraine's brave defense effort. I thought they would never have a war, like an army or anything like that now they have a military budget that's EU military budget? Well she said... We will support Ukraine as long as it takes

15:24 We are doing it for Ukraine. We are doing this to uphold our European values, but we're also doing this to show Russia and the world that breaking internationally shared rules comes with a massive cost. That has to be very clear This effort must come together with a new European strategic thinking. Aha! Here we go, a new strategic thinking and there's a plan attached to it but first we have to call it for what it is. This effort must come together with the New European Strategic Thinking and today I would like to pin down three of its main tenets You want to hanker a guess there? Want to take the firs one right off the top

CHAPTER 05 / 44 Discussion

EU Energy Transition, Green Energy Investment, Russian Gas

The European Union is accelerating its transition to green energy sources, including wind, solar, and green hydrogen, to end its dependency on Russian fossil fuels. Ursula von der Leyen announced the Repower EU initiative, which involves a 300 billion euro investment in projects such as offshore wind farms in the North Sea and Baltic Sea. The EU has also mandated a 15% reduction in gas consumption among member states to prepare for potential total disruptions of Russian supply.

green energy· fossil fuels· russia· solar power· wind farms· repower eu

16:14 No, I can't even...I haven't got a clue where she's going. First to defend the rule of law and the rule-based order over time we must neutralize Russia's blackmail ability and strengthen our own capabilities to act They're blackmailing us! We have to strengthen our capability so Russia can't blackmail us. We could say the same thing about China here Hell yeah They're blackmailing us. We can't even put together anything, nothing! We've got parts from China. Yeah... We must support democracies that are most exposed to foreign threats and I'm not only thinking about Ukraine but also about the Western Balkans. Aha! Stand by, Balkan's on deck that's gonna be fun. Does she mention Taiwan in this?

17:09 No, by the way Taiwan's much more of a democracy than Ukraine. No she doesn't care about that no she that's our job That's us. That's Nancy. That's Joe they divided it up you know She's closest to the fire She's got to make sure everybody shivers this winter to help Ukraine because Putin cannot win this war we must also look further to global geopolitical shifts and and use our economic might to preserve and expand the rules-based global order. What economic might do they have? I mean, are you serious what is the economic might of the European Union? I think it's a third or fourth biggest economy... But what is their might? It's not manufacturing so its consumers

17:57 Their consumer might, yeah. Consumer might? Okay, just checking. They do some farming, a lot of farming and make wine... Not for long! Point means primarily ending our dependence on dirty Russian fossil fuels. Oh, dirty Russian... Do you hear this?! Dirty! Dirty Russian foreign fuels. How is it dirty!? It's dirty!! I think implied in this is two things. One, you know it's killing the earth and two blood money there's blood money on that dirty oil My first point means primarily When you say by the way when you say dirty oil It's redundant No it's not. It's a very specific term

18:47 to accuse crude oil of being very high in sulfur compounds. That's what it means, and it's a pain-in-the-ass to deal with because you end up with mounds of sulfur because you have to extract all the sulfur from the crude. And that's what Russia has? Russia has this type of crude? Not that I know...I thought their stuff was pretty close to Texas I didn't think it was dirty. And maybe she just means dirty blood money. No, she can't possibly... no, no, she's not that stupid. Yes, she is. To global geopolitical shifts and use our economic might to preserve and expand the rules-based global order My first point means primarily ending our dependence on dirty Russian fossil fuels

19:35 And our work here is well underway. We are diversifying our supplies at lightning speed, the gas supplies from sources other than Russia has increased by 31 billion cubic meters since January this year. And this compensates, by now the Russian cuts of gas supply to Europe. We're also cutting substantially our need for imported gas because we have to prepare for potential full disruption of Russian gas and for this we've asked member states to reduce their gas consumption

20:17 by 15% and save it to the storage. We knew this! That can save up to 45 billion cubic meter of natural gas And ultimately, the best way to get rid of Russian fossil fuels is of course to speed up our transition to green energy sources. Every kilowatt hour of electricity that Europe generates from solar, from wind, from hydropower, from biomass, from geothermal or green hydrogen. Hydrogen! Makes us less dependent on Russian fossil fuels. So invest in that. Yes, yes. If you look at the facts and evidence today the price of wind and solar is cheaper than polluting fossil fuels Oh really?

21:13 What do you say about that? I haven't seen any evidence of this. No, with subsidies... Fact check false! And that's why with our Repower EU initiative we will invest together 300 billion euros to accelerate the green transition So problem-reaction here comes the solution For instance we are now financing one of the largest offshore wind farms of the world in the North Sea. And tomorrow, I will be in Denmark to discuss exactly similar initiatives a huge offshore wind farm in the Baltic Sea." These things suck! These offshore wind farms half of them don't work it's hard to maintain when they break down It ruins the coastline! I used to fly over them all the time when I lived in the UK Yeah you know what it was like half of them are not turning at all

CHAPTER 06 / 44 Discussion

EU Electricity Market Reform, Carbon Emissions Trading System

The European Commission is working on an emergency intervention and structural reform of the electricity market due to skyrocketing prices. This overhaul includes the return of the Emissions Trading System (ETS) as a cornerstone of climate policy, effectively repricing carbon to incentivize clean technology investment. Critics argue these reforms function primarily as a new form of taxation and a "digital transition" toward a smart grid with increased regulatory control.

electricity market· carbon tax· ets· emissions trading system· brussels· energy reform

22:12 And then in certain conditions, cold weather with no wind they actually have to power them to turn otherwise they break down. This is dumb but it's okay we have... If it was really windy where you really would be able to pull the energy they'd have to stop because of blow up. Now Queen Ursula has a real solution here which this is our old friend is coming back It's not the windows. Ending our dependency on Russian fossil fuels is only the first step. The skyrocketing electricity prices are now exposing for different reasons the limitations of our current electricity market design. Wow, this is really interesting! So they sold all of their electric companies certainly in the UK although not part of the EU but Netherlands has the same those guys are jacking up the rates and and the government really has limited power to do anything about it so she says well you know it's for different reasons but exposes the problem

23:10 The problem is you shut down the gas from Russia with your response to what they're doing and your swift removal and all of these sanctions. It was developed for completely different, under completely different circumstances... Aha! ...and completely different purposes. It is no more fit for purpose And that's why we the Commission are now working on an emergency intervention and a structural reform of the electricity market. A structural reform of the electricity market? Now whenever something is done under Emergency, We have the Commission I'm pretty sure they can just ram it through whatever they want to do It's under Emergency right? That wouldn't be any different than in the United States or anywhere else

24:01 Emergency depends on their laws, but I'm sure they can you know do it anyway. Yeah Well this is an emergency and i'm sure they papered it over so we need to change the way our electricity market works We need a new market model for electricity that really functions And brings us back into balance and then we have to look of course beyond Energy all right So let me just tell you what this is They're having a good idea of a public utility. Is that some screwball idea? That's no good? Nope! Nope, here it is I'll just read the article for you The EU's carbon market is back

24:43 After years on the sidelines of the EU's regulatory machinery where it was largely written off, the Emissions Trading System ETS has returned as the cornerstone of the bloc's climate policy. That's right! Brussels is betting that a major overhaul of the cap-and-trade scheme – holy crap John that goes back a couple years – set to be presented as part of the fit for 55 climate policy package will speed up emissions reductions incentivize companies to invest in clean technologies and help the block achieve its ambitious climate targets. Yes, they're going to reprice carbon and you're gonna have to pay for it! And you will have a personal carbon score... This is what they call re-engineering or rethinking the energy markets It's just more taxation. Let's put it this way, he's not gonna save anyone any money? Nope

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

Critical Raw Materials, China Dependency, Canada Mining

The European Union is seeking to diversify its supply of critical raw materials like lithium, silicon, and rare earth metals to avoid replacing energy dependency on Russia with a new dependency on China. Ursula von der Leyen announced a trip to Canada to establish partnerships for sourcing these commodities, which are essential for electric vehicle batteries and wind turbines. The strategy aims to secure reliable partners who share EU values to prevent future economic "blackmail."

lithium· rare earth metals· china· canada· supply chain· batteries

25:37 The green and digital transition will massively increase our... Notice she says the green and digital transition. These are all little things that are being added along the way I don't know what it means. Well when she says digital, she's talking about this smart grid Ah! And QR codes. ...and then we have to look of course beyond energy Yes The green a digital transition will massively increase our need for raw materials Take lithium for batteries. Wow! Or silicon battery... Hey, hold on! Stop! Why? Because we're in Europe is going to be... Wait a second out of the blue you're gonna change your you're gonna add a little cap and trade You're gonna put a few more and because of that you're gonna need more raw materials why what's the connection? Because where you're gonna have to be driving electric vehicles electric airplanes everything has to be electric

26:35 So they need more batteries, you see. Oh so we have to start tearing up the earth again? Oh yeah that's very environmentally friendly... Actually actually there's a kicker to this because as I was listening to this i'm like all right when do you announce your Africa initiative? I'm waiting for hey! We're gonna go help some poor black people there in Africa and take all of their materials no no that didn't come it's even better The green and digital transition will massively increase our need for raw materials. Take lithium for batteries or silicon metal for chips, take rare earth to produce magnets for electric vehicles and wind turbines demand for them may double by 2030 Now the good news in that is it means that the European Green Deal is progressive It's good! The not so good news is

27:31 One country dominates the processing. Out of the 30 critical raw materials today, 10 are mostly sourced from China So we have to avoid falling into the same dependency as with oil and gas Ah, okay. So it can't be China... so we can't get the gas and dirty, dirty fossil fuels from Russia? We can't be dependent on the Chinaman because you know hey hey hey hey we just went through this what are we gonna do? We should not replace old dependencies with new ones However! What country do you think we could substitute for China's material

28:19 India comes to mind. I'll give you three guesses. Obviously not going to guess it. Brazil comes to mind, they got a big country. Let's put it this way what we need is first of all the materials in the earth You can get the, I don't think it's all just one region. We even have them here! No no they've got it all over the place like Lithium is in Afghanistan It's the most available thing right? And Peru has a bunch of it and there are a lot of it in South America run by one or two companies that pretty much lock that down Right so what you need They tear up the place to get this stuff out of there So what you need is a country who doesn't care if you tear up the place

29:03 has a lot of slave-like workers who will be obedient and who give their children up to work in the mines. France? Close! So we must make sure that access to these commodities will not be used to blackmail us We have to diversify the supply and build new ties with reliable like minded partners around the globe For this purpose, for example I'm traveling in two weeks to Canada. Like-minded partners with very interesting offers You Canada! We're gonna tear your country apart and enslave your children to go and dig for cobalt and all kinds of crappy shit It's coming down on you Canada Save the world How about that? How about that? Canada

29:51 Yeah, let's rip off Canada. I love it! I'm all for it go-go-go. Oh, she went on for another 20 minutes but I think it does kind of set everything up you know like hey this is uh this is what's going down that's how we're gonna do it Canada you supply the dirt I don't know where we are, I don't know where America is in this scheme of hers. But yeah the EU Commission... Rolling our eyes at each corner! Sure the EU Commission has everyone's best interests at heart it's no doubt it's no doubt um all right that's all I got for the moment on uh on the EU and I just think since we're kind of in that area we might as well oh I have one per pure EU story but I want to play some Gorby clips so we can get him out of the way.

CHAPTER 08 / 44 Discussion

Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin, Russian Leadership

A brief discussion contrasts the leadership styles and public perceptions of Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin. Yeltsin is recalled for his public struggles with alcoholism and his use of slang-heavy Russian that was often difficult for citizens to understand.

mikhail gorbachev· boris yeltsin· russia· soviet union· alcoholism

30:49 Yeah, Gorbachev. Oh! Gorby? He died. It's always been referred to as Gorby in the United States when I was a kid. Yeah, I didn't get that programming. No of course not. Okay, not Gorby. So wasn't Gorby the drunk or who was it? Who was the drunk? No, that was Yeltsin. Yeltsin was the drunk okay right yeah he was just an alcoholic And who also spoke in a slang version of Russian, his Russian wasn't even very good. No? All the Russians I know... Oh that guy he sounds like you know you ever... I said well explain it to me what are you talking about? He says have you ever been to the south or someplace where they talk something like this... You can't understand a word they say well that's Yeltsin! Okay

French Swimming Pool Tax, AI Surveillance

French tax authorities used artificial intelligence software developed by Google and Capgemini to identify over 20,000 undeclared private swimming pools through aerial imagery. The crackdown has already generated approximately 10 million dollars in new tax revenue, as pools increase property values and associated taxes. Officials plan to expand the use of this software nationwide to identify other undeclared home extensions, patios, and gazebos.

france· swimming pools· artificial intelligence· google· taxation· capgemini

31:39 You apologize to the science sites. Okay, let's go down... you want to play this one? It's just a little uh... I think this is kind of epitomizes the EU French pool story Oh! I'm sorry i was ready to do the French pool story okay here we go France uncovers over 20 000 undeclared private swimming pools according to the BBC The country made the discovery using artificial intelligence The finding allows authorities to collect a sizable amount of tax revenue. Swimming pools have to be declared under French law, they increase property value and therefore taxes. French authorities can now collect the equivalent over 10 million dollars in taxes. The artificial intelligence software was developed by Google and French firm Capgemini. The software identified pools in nine regions of France in aerial images

32:30 French officials want to try using the software to identify undeclared pools nationwide. A French newspaper report says that an average-sized pool can garner the equivalent of around $200 a year in taxes The BBC reports, the crackdown started after a French politician spoke about potential pool bans due to drought and water shortage Authorities want to take it further and use the software to identify other taxable property like home extensions, patios or gazebos. How does that fit in with Gorby? I'm a little lost No no no...I said this is an EU story This is a classic EU story It has nothing to do with Gorby Well you know...Gorby is a throwback to Russia Now this story is in the wild because this is obviously the top secret intelligence that Trump had

The Internal Revenue Service is reportedly considering an option where the agency calculates taxes and sends a bill directly to citizens, similar to the "blue envelope" system used in the Netherlands. While presented as a convenience, the model is criticized for making it difficult for taxpayers to contest filings and for leading to mandatory preliminary payments based on estimated future income.

33:16 Oh, the French. He knew about the pools? What is... Yeah no I don't know you tell me that but first of all let's talk about this how what?! I mean to me this story jumped out like a sore thumb which doesn't jump out but it did in this case uh-huh Pools they have to be licensed and declared oh yeah! Come on! That's the same everywhere and oh in Europe are you kidding me You can't even think about building without permission And while we're at it, I just wanted to say one thing because i keep forgetting to mention it. You know that whole IRS thing and you know the IRS 87000 new agents etc etc? That's not the headline for me! The headline is... The IRS will now give you the option for them to just send you a bill do all the taxes for you and they just send you the bill and you just pay the bill and you're all done they've done the taxes for you

34:07 I would like to warn everybody, I saw this happening in the Netherlands and the way it would happen is a blue envelope would pop into your mailbox and it would say here's what you owe. And at that point you could only contest it because the filing was already done but what was worse is over time you get blue envelopes every month Well, you know now we need the preliminary. You got to pay in advance We think you're making too much so you gotta pay some now So you don't get screwed later that is the beginning of the end this is this That's how regulated Europe is and you think people would reject this idea in this country? No they all flocked to it Of course Do you want to hear how dumb people are in America do you want can I just give an entremont of stupidity Go okay. I do not know where this comes from

American General Knowledge, Man on the Street Interviews

A "man on the street" interview segment highlights a perceived lack of basic general knowledge among some Americans in New York City. Interviewees struggle to identify the number of letters in the alphabet, the number of states in the U.S., and the continent they are currently standing on.

34:59 I thought it might have been a Jesse Waters thing, but it wasn't. It was so incredibly good... if I can find it Here we go Oh yes from the Twitter account Clownworld Listen to this. This is just people on the street in America, I think it's New York City. How many letters are in the alphabet? 24? Do you know how many seasons there are? 12. I don't know...12? Yes What language do the people of Idaho speak? Potato Wait, what? What language? I don't know. The first thing that came to mind was potatoes How many states make up the United States? Guess a number if you don't know Five Yes What continent are we on right now? What continent? Uhhh...I think like North Africa What's three times three times three? Eighteen

36:02 Yes. How many cents are in one dollar? How many cents is on one dollar? Yeah, 1 5 10 20 30 6. Yes. Do you know what country we gained our independence from Mexico right now? No that's so wrong Russia no I don't know I don't know. Give me a final guess Canada? Yes, do you know what year the US was founded 1827 Yes, it's shaped with four sides called... I haven't done something with shapes since like fifth grade

36:44 Yeah, if you had to guess. I don't know like... I know what shapes have four sides but I don't know the name for it Yes Can you name three countries besides the USA? Alabama That's one New Mexico Two I mean this is of course it's man on the street you selected but there are actual people walking around who don't have this basic common knowledge couldn't tell the time on a clock face drawn oh well let me tell you here's a good story Mimi was that we have a grocer up in Squim Washington called Sunny Farms very famous

CHAPTER 12 / 44 Discussion

Analog Clock Literacy, Millennial Education

An anecdote from a grocery store in Squim, Washington, describes a young woman's inability to read an analog clock. The segment suggests that analog clock literacy is declining among younger generations, with retail workers noting that many millennials rely entirely on digital timekeeping.

37:32 green grocery. They got great stuff, they have their own meat cutters and everything... I mean they have their own cattle to have a ranch. Nice! So you get a lot of good quality everything from them But so you go in there and it's a mixed variety of people that shop there. So, there is this girl in front of Mimi and she staring at the clock around clock old fashioned. I already feel it! Well, you know where it was headed. And it's like Mimi says she probably around 25 the woman. And so she's staring at this clock and she's staring and staring and staring, and she finally turns to the checker and says, do you know what time it is?

38:17 And the checker says, yeah it's 115. So they go oh thanks and she leaves and so Mimi asks the checker she says these people these millennials can't read a clock which should have been taught in grammar school or at home by you know the parents how to read a clock because their clocks are everywhere and the checkers says Oh No almost all of them I've never run into one that can read a clock Yeah, but I mean basic knowledge of what continent are we on? How many states does America have? How many letters in the alphabet. You know that clip would've been a lot better if they hadn't over-muched it and ruined it! We can't get a break these guys put too much music Project Veritas even though we have hooked them up with sound engineers they can't get their stuff right

CHAPTER 13 / 44 Discussion

MTV Video Music Awards, Doritos Symbolism

The 2022 MTV Video Music Awards are criticized for heavy use of triangular symbolism and checkers, which are jokingly linked to MKUltra programming. The show's primary sponsor, Doritos, is noted for its triangular chip shape, which was integrated into the stage design and visual transitions throughout the broadcast.

mtv· vmas· doritos· mkultra· symbolism· illuminati

39:14 It's disappointing. What are you gonna do? No, but I understand if you're an elite and you have disdain for people anyway... Then, you know, you look at these people and go kill him. Kill him! Just kill him! Kill him! Whoa dude I forgot did you see the MTV Video Music Awards? Dude... Dude... No I saw it on this thing and i said You know, I could waste my time watching this as opposed to over clipping but Adam will see it and he'll give us a report Well the only thing you need to know is that And so I start watching this thing and the and i'm looking for you know satanic rituals, I'm looking for illuminati signs and right off the bat there's triangles everywhere. There's black-and-white checkers but there's triangles everywhere! Triangles triangles which is part of the you know it activates the MKUltra programming But they've taken it to the next level The whole show was sponsored

40:10 But had one main sponsor, they had the typical shitty Toyota car that they think millennials will want and a couple other dumb things. But there was one big sponsor and it was Doritos. And what they would do is look at the Dorito's chip which in case you didn't know, is a triangle. Then they have an ad where it says look you see the triangle everywhere they're showing all these triangles in life The whole...they would go from that from the triangle from the Dorito and they would cross dissolve into the triangle on the stage Doritos are activating MKUltra nationwide That's my report MTV has gone overboard and sold out to the triangle Illuminati Yes, and these Doritos there. It's this is like three more days till Halloween silver shamrock I'm telling you something's bad. I don't like it at all. Okay? Yeah alright wanted to Garby now oh

CHAPTER 14 / 44 Discussion

Mikhail Gorbachev Legacy, Soviet Union Dissolution

Following the death of Mikhail Gorbachev at age 91, his legacy of ending the Cold War and overseeing the removal of the Iron Curtain is reviewed. While Western reports credit him with avoiding bloodshed during pro-democracy protests in 1989, his standing in modern Russia remains complicated, as Vladimir Putin reportedly views the disintegration of the Soviet Union as a tragedy. Gorbachev will be interred at the Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow rather than receiving a full state funeral.

mikhail gorbachev· soviet union· cold war· ronald reagan· vladimir putin

41:08 Yeah, let's play some Gorby chips. Gorby chips! Yes, new from Smiths. Now you got... People took different angles and they still don't know the Obit clip from NPR is the one that's a kicker but let's play the ones from New Tang Dynasty first. Oh. Gorby Obit 1 Oh, you got it. Mikhail Gorbachev has died at age 91 he is credited with ending the Cold War without bloodshed and he oversaw the removal of Europe's Iron Curtain here are the details After decades of cold war tension and confrontation Gorbachev, the last Soviet president broke with the past He helped to remove the iron curtain that had divided Europe and bring about their unification of Germany

42:01 He struck nuclear arms deals with the United States and brought the Soviet Union closer to the West than at any point since World War II. Gorbachev struck up a rapport with the West and with Ronald Reagan, who had called the Soviet Union The Evil Empire Together they negotiated a landmark deal in 1987 to scrap intermediate-range nuclear missiles. When pro-democracy protests swept across the Soviet bloc nations of communist Eastern Europe in 1989, he refrained from using force unlike previous leaders who had sent tanks to crush uprisings in Hungary 1956 and Czechoslovakia 1968

42:43 But those protests fueled aspirations for autonomy in the 15 republics of the Soviet Union, which disintegrated over the next two years in chaotic fashion. Gorbachev became General Secretary of the Soviet Communist Party in 1985 at age 54. He was a reformer setting out to revitalize the system by introducing limited political and economic freedoms And wasn't Gorby on our payroll?

43:31 I've always heard that. I don't think so, but it's possible you never know. When I went to Russia it was during this era during Gorby and they had instituted some minor alterations into the idea of having small businesses and so I go over there and they allowed in Red Square, they allowed some of these like booths. Oh vendors yeah yeah yeah vendors. Sure sure. And I was told that this is going to happen in advance. I had some excellent briefing

44:10 If you wanted to buy something from a vendor that was like 12 rubles and you had a 20, they couldn't make change. Nope nope nope Because it was illegal! Yes It was illegal to make change if you wanted to buy something for twelve rubles You had to give them twelve rubles Ha ha genius Anyway so let's go on to Gorby 2 And in the final months of his life, Gorbachev has seen much of his legacy destroyed as President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has brought sanctions on Moscow and talks in both Russia and the West have a new Cold War.

44:54 So that report was all political, but the one on NPR which is the other obit was really more about legacy and it's just so different that I had to play contrast a little bit with these other guys who do better straight up reporting even though its amateurish. Although boring yeah, amateurish and boring to listen too. Body of Mikhail Gorbachev will lie in state on Saturday in Moscow's House of Unions same building located between the Bolshoi and the Duma, the lower house of Parliament where his predecessors including Joseph Stalin are buried. But Gorbachev won't be buried in that building instead he will be interred next to his wife in Novo Deveshchik convent that's a cemetery where Nikita Khrushchev is buried so far the Kremlin hasn't said whether there will be a state funeral for the last Soviet Union leader Gorbachev died yesterday at the age of 91

45:50 No, you'd think there would be. You think there would be but I'll betcha there's not because the way it looks...I could be wrong and maybe brainwashed on this but it looks as if Putin is irked at Gorb because Gorb is the one who tore down the Soviet Union completely. Oh no that's only if you buy into what my family believes That's why I'm saying I say that maybe buying into that. Uh, I know i'm trying to protect you from that. I'm trying to stop no, I like the fact that you set up a blockade here And but i've always kind of covered my ass with my disclaimer as always there's no evidence We will see we know your little tricks There's no evidence that this or that is no evidence doesn't mean no it just means there's no evidence Yeah one hour photo um

CHAPTER 15 / 44 Discussion

US Military Readiness, Chinook Grounding

The U.S. Army recently grounded its entire fleet of CH-47 Chinook helicopters due to engine fires caused by faulty O-rings. The discussion touches on concerns regarding the depletion of U.S. military stockpiles sent to Ukraine and the vulnerability of the supply chain when critical parts are sourced from foreign entities like China.

chinook· us army· military readiness· o-rings· china

46:44 I don't have much left on what's happening with Ukraine or Russia. Let me see what else to... The only thing that is kind of annoying to me about Ukraine and Russia, is with this latest commitment of Matrial or whatever we're doing, we're sending over to Ukraine You know, as we heard and it's been confirmed it's coming from all over bases around the country around the world. And so we're kind of I'm worried like are they going to be able to resupply stuff? Did they give away too much Are we vulnerable? And then this story. These are workhorses that have been around since Vietnam

47:48 And now all of a sudden, oh ground them all. That's never happened! Never ground for some O-rings that they probably got from China Sound familiar? The O-rings Yeah sounds like something they'd get from China that failed Well there are lots of fake parts that come through We hear that all the time Oh yeah we've got cheap Chinese shit over here What can we do? Well while were on that topic Let me take you back to our previous episode Episode 1481. So let's play what is going on now, this is Artemis the first launch coming up I think later this month or sometime soon No tomorrow! Tomorrow if everything is okay Uh huh

CHAPTER 16 / 44 Discussion

NASA Artemis I, SpaceX Comparison

NASA's Artemis I moon rocket launch was scrubbed due to engine cooling issues, with a second attempt scheduled for the weekend. The Space Launch System (SLS) is compared unfavorably to SpaceX's Starship in terms of cost-effectiveness and payload capacity, noting that NASA's non-reusable rocket costs between $1 billion and $4 billion per launch compared to SpaceX's significantly lower estimates.

nasa· artemis i· spacex· sls rocket· moon mission

48:34 Oh, you see the future John C. Dvorak breaking news tonight NASA says it will try again this Saturday afternoon to launch its new moon rocket The crew list test mission Artemis was scrubbed on Monday because of an engine cooling issue NASA says it's making adjustments at the launch pad and changing some launch day procedures To head off any problems the mission is a first step towards getting humans back on the moon the moon. Alright! Do you think it's gonna go Saturday? You think they'll make it Saturday, or there will be another issue I have no idea but probably...I would guess another issue. I think another issue yeah. They don't want to blow this one up its got those two dummies in it. It will be dumbicide can't have that and one of our producers sent me a little detail on the cost since we were asking about at the new NASA SLS rocket here are some differences is not reusable

49:28 And the cost per launch, no wonder they're careful is estimated to be between one and four billion dollars per launch. Now SpaceX costs per launch is about 10 million. Cost to go around the moon, SpaceX cost 80 million The SpaceX Starship is taller than NASA SLS. SpaceX Starship has more than twice the payload capacity, 100 tons versus 46. The NASA SLS can get to deep space in one go but SpaceX will need to refuel in space to get the 100 tons into deep space but that's part of their design But here's the thing NASA is actually going to use Space X to get to the moon

50:14 Why are we wasting this money then if it's going to be completely different rockets that do it? Well, like I explained the way they're gonna do it is a bunch of steps. They're gonna have a space station, they gotta lock with that. I guess that's where the SpaceX thing comes in...I don't know! There are just a lot of steps this is no convoluted approach to going to the moon but the idea is if you could say what would you argue and counter argument? Is it well yeah But it's setting up places where you can also have a jumping off point to go to Mars, which are going to have to have anyway. Yeah I can't wait! Um... I learned something about the Atlas rocket. Atlas? Was that the one that took John Glenn into space first? The Atlas I think was the first one yeah Now the way the Atlas worked is it had a fuel cell in the middle which they kept under constant pressure

CHAPTER 17 / 44 Discussion

WD-40 Origin, Atlas Rocket History

A historical anecdote claims that WD-40 (Water Displacement, 40th formula) was originally developed to prevent water from freezing on the outer skin of the Atlas rocket during the early space program. The product was designed as a penetrant and water displacer rather than a primary lubricant, specifically to protect the thin-skinned fuel cells of the rocket.

wd-40· atlas rocket· water displacement· john glenn· science lady

51:17 In fact, if they didn't pressurize it while I was on the launch pad, it could just topple over. Just fold in on itself which there's happened a couple times but in order to not be too heavy upon liftoff, they had a certain type of chemical or chemical compound that they sprayed all over the outside of the rocket so when the fuel... Of course the fuel would freeze any water condensation. So that water would disperse upon launch Do you know the name of this household item that was developed specifically for that purpose? Windex WD-40

51:57 Water dispensary formula 40. It was developed for that, I didn't know that! Well i didn't know that either and I don't know anything about what you said about some fuel cell...I don't know what the point of that would be? Well because they couldn't have it freezing on the outside when they lift it off Because the fuel is literally on the inside No, the WD-40 would make sure that any water... it repels any water that appears on it. So if the ice cracks its water boom! It falls right off or it doesn't form at all There's a whole YouTube on it. It's crazy I didn't know... it's not even a lubricant

52:38 WD-40? No, it's not a liquid. It's a penetrant! It's an anti...it's a water dispenser to make sure the water goes away from that surface. WD I didn't know this The more you know from the show. It sounds like reverse engineered hoax but okay Wow such an accusation Hey man, I watched it. It was from the science lady on YouTube! Come on... Don't make me look her up! Yeah, yeah, I don't know what i'm thinking if its on the internet No, it wasn't just on the internet. It was the science lady on YouTube Are you gonna make me look it up now? Well just send me a link. Okay, ill send you a link People saying I got hoaxed no no no wait people are saying is I got hoaxed

53:30 Nobody said it say no I'm looking at the troll room. I said it sounds like a hoax water displacement Yeah, what is displacement? That's what it was not dispersion water displacement I don't think it's a hoax. The science lady looked very... she had a t-shirt on that said Science Lady Yeah So how can you deny? How could that be a hoax? How can the T-Shirt itself say Science Lady and you know what the trouble is, when you have to go through to get a t-shirt that says that It's beyond belief. It said Janet Lab or something. I'm gonna find it for ya'll send it too Okay so

CHAPTER 18 / 44 Discussion

Migrant Busing, New York City, FEMA Funding

The city of El Paso and Governor Greg Abbott have been busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities like New York City, Washington D.C., and Chicago. Reports indicate that FEMA is expected to reimburse local governments for the transportation costs. In El Paso, migrants are reportedly asked for their preferred destination, with many choosing New York City over Chicago.

greg abbott· el paso· new york city· fema· immigration· sanctuary cities

54:10 Let's talk about this, let's get a couple of these little items out of the way which are cute items. My favorite item is the busing of the immigrants to New York Washington DC and elsewhere did you know that when they bring those immigrant where they would Abbott, or actually even San Antonio itself is doing it too. They've actually asked us where they want to go. Really? Oh that's funny! In this report at least they do in San Antonio. Where would you like to go? I'd like to go New York. Would you like to stay here...I think it goes like this

54:47 Look, Texas is a shithole. We all have guns It's hot! Go away you don't want to be here it's hot You wanna go? We'll send you the New York City The Big Apple where they're gonna treat you well Do you wanna go? Yeah sounds groovy! Si senor And so they put him in the bus Okay let's play Bus To New York City 1 El Paso Texas is busing illegal immigrants to New York City and they say that Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA will pay for it This, this service provides everywhere from providing meals for transportation toiletries anything that's needed for these migrants whether it be COTS COVID vaccines COVID testing. That that's what we've been providing and chartering buses is no different our original buses we started back in pre-COVID times so back in 2019

55:37 The city has chartered four buses for volunteer illegal immigrants in the past week, and a program separate from Governor Greg Abbott's plan. According to Abbott's office Texas has spent $12 million dollars to send over 8900 illegal immigrants to New York City and Washington DC Both New York City and D.C are sanctuary cities I believe they also sent their first bus to Chicago yesterday. Well, there's a Chicago report in here. Oh! Part 2 discusses some of the Chicago problems. Officials say they also considered chartering a bus to Chicago but not enough illegal immigrants wanted to go there. FEMA has said it will reimburse local governments and NGOs for the cost of aiding and transporting illegal immigrants but has not commented on El Paso buses

56:24 So it looks as if the federal government, so New York and Washington... I like the idea that no one wants to go to Chicago. No, Senor! We're going to hell for this. So New York City and Washington DC can stop their bitching about this because FEMA, according to this report is paying for it. They're all in yeah yes ship them to New York I know you Texans just bitch and moan about everything put him in a bus and send them to New York And by the way when they get to New York they are greeted with a healthy handshake There's a video of this like you get him off the bus and say hello senor welcome to new york Nueva Yorka? Well that's nothing

CHAPTER 19 / 44 Discussion

Amsterdam Cruise Ship Housing, Asylum Seekers

The Amsterdam City Council has agreed to house approximately 3,000 asylum seekers on a large cruise ship due to a lack of available hotel space and housing. This move follows similar programs in other European and American cities where governments pay high rates to secure temporary accommodations for migrants.

amsterdam· netherlands· asylum seekers· cruise ships· housing crisis

57:22 You know, there's a cruise ship that goes between I think Norway and what is it? No maybe Helsinki to Finland. I gotta look at where this is... It's a Dutch article that I'm looking at so the you know the ministry of The Dutch government, you know they have a problem. They still have people, asylum seekers as they call them coming in, a lot of them from Ukraine, a lot of say that from Ukraine and other places but hey I'm looking for...I am from the Ukrainian Asylum! Senor. So they get in but got nowhere left to store him. They've already put him in hotels we learned that from Los Angeles and San Francisco so now starting on October

58:06 The Amsterdam City Council has agreed, and I guess they've got the financing to put these 3,000 new migrants. I mean asylum seekers on this cruise ship which is like a proper cruise ship it's not just like a ferry boat so this is gonna be great Yeah, I mean you beat that. Do they have to give them a guided tour? Oh no it's...I think they just...of course! They just leave them at port and shove them in the ship? Yeah, they just float around. I don't know. God. Float around

58:42 Alright, well that's about as idiotic as... yeah. They're filling up hotels- it's the same program everywhere! They go to the hotels and they say well what's your occupancy? Well we're about 40% empty Good, we'll pay you double or nothing Double Whatever Uh won't these- double okay Yeah They're throwing money away I mean it's like we're all gonna go broke because of these governments are just tossing money down the tubes. Yeah, yes! I think so that would make sense...tossing it down the tubes

CHAPTER 20 / 44 Discussion

COVID-19 Bivalent Boosters, Mouse Testing

The FDA has authorized new "upgraded" bivalent COVID-19 boosters from Pfizer and Moderna designed to target the Omicron subvariants. Public health officials admit the new shots were primarily tested on mice rather than humans to speed up the rollout before a potential winter surge. Experts acknowledge that while the boosters may provide a modest benefit, they are unlikely to provide "super strong shielding" against infection.

fda· cdc· bivalent booster· omicron· pfizer· moderna

59:26 Okay, well let's go to the little COVID discussion. They got the new shots and I've got three clips about the new shots and unfortunately they're all from NPR and they all kind of jumbled because they brought this one guy in who has a funny voice that does these reports. Oh is this the guy we see, that guy? It's either him or the others two guys there's one guy that's completely adenoidal I don't I can barely speak. Yeah, that's right through my nose. I don't know why I can't breathe through my nose. I don't think it says powder yeah and then there's a guy who shines a tradition to I think I have that guy I think I have that guy but would you play your clips and I'll see what I need to okay like unfortunately I got

1:00:16 from two different reports from the same guy. So there may be some crossover here because they gave one report and then like later, they give another one with a completely different series of information that was a completely different pile of information. Let's go with COVID new shots NPR. The Food and Drug Administration has authorized the first major upgrade in COVID-19 vaccine boosters. Let's just stop there It's never been called an upgrade. Ever! This is the first report I'm hearing it, except for joke reports. Yes, upgrade... update your app now! Upgrade your immunity! First major upgrade in COVID-19 vaccine boosters. NPR's Rob Stein reports

1:01:03 The vaccines are reformulated versions of Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines targeted to protect against the Omicron variant. The reprogrammed shots are designed to bolster fading immunity, especially against the highly contagious Omicron subvariants that most people are catching now. The federal government plans to make new boosters available starting next week. Public health officials hope they will contain a possible fall and winter surge Some experts worry the new boosters won't live up to expectations, but others say the new shots could provide enough of a bridge to minimize impact especially among the most vulnerable.

1:01:48 He's got a lot of hiss and hum in the background, just a technical thing I'm annoyed by. Okay so now he does it more elaborate report later and let's play this is called that this clip was called second report but i got two versions I got second report and second report part two there's some good stuff here Okay. You know, no one's worried about safety it's clear the vaccines are very safe but could they say mouse studies just aren't? Yeah this is the same guy Eclipse he's safe Very good at predicting how that... He's the same guy and he's got either the adenoids or the cat sound But he's there. Everyone is worried about safety, but they don't do crap about it. But but they're safe. You know what I'm telling you? Safe Safety is clear the vaccines are very safe. But should say mouse studies just aren't very good at predicting how vaccines work in people and earlier vaccines test on those earlier vaccines indicate that are only a bit better than the original shots at best. And so the worry is people will think these new shots protect them

1:02:47 more than they really do. Here's John Moore, he is an immunologist at Walgreen and Medicine. There may be a modest benefit to protection against infection but it will be modest which is why I say don't believe that you're getting super strong shielding against infection This is kind of out of the blue report that came in. This came in as this thing could go around, where they're like backing off on even recommending the shot and saying well you know we just tested it on mice! That's the problem that's the story that's the problem that's what people are picking up

1:03:23 Yeah, so no one will get the shot which is what they said. So let's play the second part of this. Vaccines were only tested in mice might make it even harder to convince people to get them It has been a tough sell already convincing people to get their first or second boosters and there are still plenty of people out there who haven't gotten any shots And that is the main reason between 400-500 people are still dying every day from COVID I don't think so! I'm sure many people are wondering how soon can we get these new boosters? What's the schedule? Yeah, so the CDC will decide by the end of the week exactly who should get these new boosters and how they should be used once they become available next week. The FDA authorized a Moderna booster for anyone 18 and older and the Pfizer-BioNTech booster for anyone 12 or older but some experts think that people who really need them are those at high risk like older people and those with other health problems. Another big question is how long to wait to get the shot? Hold on a second!

1:04:15 So these things, you know, we need to give it to people who need them sooner. To kill them obviously! Listen to what this is... It's like well we just need to get these to kill people who have health problems they're no good old people get rid of them Experts think that people who really need them are those at high risk Yeah yeah they really need them Older people and those with other health problems Another big question is how long do I wait to get the shots? The FDA says two months since the last shot is long enough, but others say that's too short. People should wait four to six months after their last shot or infection where the new boosters may not just work very well.

CHAPTER 21 / 44 Discussion

FDA Peter Marks, Booster Data Transparency

FDA chief scientist Peter Marks defended the decision to authorize new boosters without full human clinical data, arguing that waiting for such data would leave the population unprotected against rapidly evolving variants. Marks stated that the goal is to provide the longest duration of protection possible, though he acknowledged that parents are concerned about children being "left behind" in the vaccination schedule.

peter marks· fda· boosters· clinical data· vaccine safety

1:04:52 It's incredible. Nothing works, they haven't tested on humans that's the story that is getting liked. People are like what? You only test... and I don't care a million scientists can say it doesn't matter. I think it does matter they've lost control of that messaging. I do have Peter Marks Well well I just want to say I have the FDA chief scientist to address this Okay, because then after that I got two clips on life expectancy. By changing the composition of what is in these boosters we are able to elicit and essentially refresh the immune response so it will hopefully do a better job... Like a browser window?

1:05:33 eliminating the virus. The problem is if we wait a few months till we have the kind of clinical data that we had before, well you can see what happened with Delta and with Omicron BA1. You ignored the data people died and you said it was safe and effective anyway or do you mean something else? We're going to be on to the next thing and so we may not be able to provide people with the kind of protection that we like that will hold them for a longer period We're the first, I think to acknowledge we don't want to have people constantly getting booster shots. Listen to the laugh! What is this tell about? Listen to this. Holy crap go back and get back it up so that we are all aware there's a tell laugh coming out with the kind of protection that we liked it will hold them for a longer period of time were the first thing to acknowledge. We don't want to have people constantly getting booster shots. Yes you do

1:06:26 We don't want you to have to keep getting booster shots every 3 months, but this next one will be good throughout the end of the season. Which in my calculation is about three months So he's lying. He's got the tell, huh? So the goal here is to use our best knowledge and we're very comfortable with this to provide people with the longest duration of protection that We can we heard loud and clear from parents that they did not want us to see kids Wow Whoa

1:07:07 Whoa, hold on. That we can... We heard loud and clear from parents that they did not want us to see kids left behind What is this? They said my kid's being left behind on the boosters I mean, I can only hear evil in this guy. And so we will make sure that as we get submissions in and have the data that we expand the age range down, we can hopefully drive down some of the adverse

1:07:44 outcomes from COVID-19 in the next weeks, but then also hopefully protect the population. That's a weird thing for him to say we will hopefully drive down the adverse events from COVID 19 typically you don't talk about an adverse event with a virus. The virus kills you and adverse event particularly the way he said it that's for vaccines I mean, maybe...I've just never heard anyone call say that the symptoms of COVID they get you sick in certain ways calling those adverse events. What is normal then for COVID?

1:08:23 You know what I mean? The use of this language, the way he does is...I don't know. I don't know what's very bad. Submissions in and have the data that we expand the age range down We can hopefully drive down some of the adverse outcomes from COVID-19 in the next weeks but then also hopefully protect the population against a swing of COVID-19 that could come up as we come into the fall of month Thanksgiving time when once again, we go indoors and people tend to get together socially which we know is kind of a ripe way to transmit more COVID. So they just all in?

1:09:07 laugh telling their way through all it look you know it's like we can't be waiting for data to see if they work we want to protect you jab that in get the bivalent thing let's go go go they don't do that with the flu they don't test it on people, they throw it into mice. If its good ya take it and everyone is happy I'm flabbergasted at just how Blunt. They're blunt, they're just like... I'm just plowing ahead nothing to see here at all at all and of course there's adverse events oh geez alright i have a couple more things here this there's something well let's get my let's get you got more you got life expectancy clip one

CHAPTER 22 / 44 Discussion

US Life Expectancy Decline, CDC Data

Provisional CDC data shows that U.S. life expectancy dropped for the second consecutive year to 76 years, the lowest level since the 1940s. While COVID-19 is cited as the primary driver, the report notes significant racial disparities, with American Indian and Alaska Native populations seeing the most dramatic declines. The U.S. now ranks behind countries like Slovenia, Costa Rica, and Greece in average lifespan.

cdc· life expectancy· covid-19· racial disparities· public health

1:09:54 For the first time in a century, the life expectancy of Americans has dropped for two years in a row. That sobering fact comes from a provisional analysis out today from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention as NPR's Selena Simmons-Duffin reports, The driving force of this trend is COVID 19 but there's more to the story. Life expectancy in the U S has been on a forward march for decades ticking up a bit year after year all the way up years in 2019. The pandemic brought that march to a sudden halt, and 2020 life expectancy dropped to 77 years and in 2021 it dropped again to 76 years Dr Stephen Wolf calls these numbers disturbing he's the professor at Virginia Commonwealth University. In most other high-income countries 2021 was a year where life expectancy began to rebound

1:10:48 Having that context makes the U.S results all the more tragic." There are some striking racial disparities in the data. Elizabeth Aria of CDC's National Center for Health Statistics, who was the lead author of the report says the most dramatic drop in life expectancy was among American Indian or Alaska Native people. To see that decline over a two year period this population with 6.6 years was jarring She notes life expectancy for that population is now 65 years, the same as it was for the whole population in the 1940s. But there is a bit of good news in the data. For the Hispanic population and non-Hispanic Black population who both lost a lot of year during the first year of the pandemic

1:11:37 The loss was a lot smaller during the second year. For white Americans, life expectancy actually dropped more in 2021 than in 2020 even though vaccines and treatments became available Any coincidence there, you think? I don't think so. Drop more even though there are more vaccines available and you know that black and Hispanic they're stopped taking it not taking boosters. Well there's a specific issue after we hear your second clip be happy to share what I've learned

1:12:16 Now, if you take a step back the U.S wasn't doing very well on life expectancy compared to other countries even before the pandemic says John Haga he's a retired division director at the National Institute on Aging part of NIH We're now behind countries like Slovenia Costa Rica and Greece He laments that nobody seems to get fired up about changing things to help Americans live longer Selena Semenstafan, NPR News. Slovenia Costa Rica well what's wrong with this picture the American Medical Association is what's wrong with this picture and it and Big Pharma is what's wrong with this picture? And big agriculture extremely online Jake

Obesity Division, Insulin Market Statistics

A pharmaceutical industry insider reports the creation of a new "Obesity Division" at a major drug company to address the growing market for diabetes and weight-loss treatments. Statistics provided suggest that 100 million Americans are diabetic and 80 million are pre-diabetic, with nearly 46% of American children now affected by the condition due to poor dietary habits.

1:13:08 sent in a note about his father who works at one of the largest, stepfather who works at one of the largest drug companies in the field of diabetes and insulin medication. Been doing it for 30 years started in the labs moved to sales now is managing multiple territories an expert in the field And he has just received a promotion to see a new division within this company I don't know which company It is The division is called the obesity Division newly created So, our producer Jake was asking a couple things. He said you know so what's going on with the numbers? He said first of all insulin which is I guess one of the products that he would be selling has to be kept refrigerated

1:13:54 Currently, the estimates according to this company so that would be their marketing statistics. Their TAM, their total addressable market in the United States 100 million diabetics 80 million pre-diabetic which is almost everybody isn't it? Until you get really young people and really old people with 46% of all children in America have diabetes And this is because we're eating shit. And yeah, black and brown people poor people especially during the lockdowns what did they eat more shit that's all you could get Yeah but they're living longer Because they are not taking the vax Yes But now here is a problem What happens when the lights go out? You know They eat more No I mean what happens to your refrigerated insulin Oh yeah Uh huh

California Heat Wave, Electric Vehicle Charging

California officials issued "Flex Alerts" during a record-breaking heat wave, asking residents to set thermostats to 85 degrees and avoid charging electric vehicles during peak hours. This request came just one week after the state voted to ban the sale of new gas-powered cars by 2035. Governor Gavin Newsom defended the move while criticizing Texas for its continued reliance on coal power.

gavin newsom· flex alert· electric vehicles· california· power grid

1:14:52 could get kind of nasty. There's a lot of things that won't work anymore, particularly I don't know your electric vehicle? Overnight residents north of Los Angeles facing mandatory evacuations and major traffic jams as a wildfire quickly spread along the 5 freeway Very ominous flames A huge plume of smoke And the five freeway again worth reiterating completely shut down At least eight firefighters suffered heat-related injuries fighting the flames. An extreme late summer heat wave fueling the fire. Burbank hitting 112 degrees, 106 in Anaheim the hottest August temperatures ever recorded in those cities and now the extreme heat is expanding The National Weather Service is warning people in Northern California that daily monthly and even all-time temperature records could be broken during this Labor Day weekend

1:15:49 How does climate, how does the heat fuel the fire? I mean isn't that kind of a shortcut to say it was 106 degrees so that just fueled the fire. It's not technically true right No, how can it be? It can't fuel anything. That's what that is... No it's not fuel, it just temperature Exactly California's power grid operators have issued a statewide flex alert today Flex Alert! Calling for voluntary conservation of power during peak hours We encourage you before you leave home if you can turn those thermostats up to 85 degrees Officials also asking electric car owners not to charge their vehicles during peak hours. The request coming just one week after California lawmakers voted in favor of banning the sale of gas-powered cars by 2035. The governor yesterday defended that move, saying the state has little choice but to act on the climate crisis He also addressed his critics in Texas

1:16:45 where the governor has called the banning of gas cars ridiculous. In the state of Texas, year to date... They have consumed some 22.9 million tons of coal polluting the planet, making conditions worse. 22.9 million tons versus California's 18 thousand... Oh man! We're dirty Texans Put us right next to Putin and give us a shot in the head two to the head You guys are burning coal and you're polluting the planets Polluting the planets Now my favorite heatwave climate change clip from this week comes from Denver.

Colorado Smart Thermostat Lockouts, Xcel Energy

During an "energy emergency" in Colorado, Xcel Energy locked the smart thermostats of 22,000 customers, preventing them from lowering their home temperatures below 78 or 79 degrees. The company stated this was part of a voluntary "AC Rewards" program where customers receive a $100 credit in exchange for giving up control during peak demand periods. Many participants were reportedly unaware that the lockout could be overridden.

1:17:25 This is how it roll baby. We are expecting a blistering 95 degrees here tomorrow and during these dog days of summer, of course it's so important to keep your home cool! Well when thousands of Xcel customers in Colorado tried adjusting their thermostats Tuesday they learned they couldn't Denver 7 consumer investigator Jacqueline Allen talked with some of those customers. Jacqueline they're upset they had no control over the temp and their own home that's right and you know Excel calling this a rare energy emergency yes Emergency! They took over tens of thousands of smart thermostats here in Colorado. For the first time, there was nothing homeowners could do about it. Another hot one today with temperatures in the low 90s... Even Mike Nelson would tell you Tuesday was a hot one The heat goes on Which is why Tony Tallarico tried to crank up the A.C I mean it was

1:18:12 90 out and it was right during the peak period. That's when he found out he had no control of his thermostat a message from Excel on his thermostat saying temperature locked during an energy emergency And normally when we see a message like that, were able to override it In this case we weren't so our thermostat was locked in a 78 or 79. He's not alone Excel confirms to contact him for 722,000 customers were locked out of their smart thermostats for hours on Tuesday It's a voluntary program Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be apart of oh yeah based on the incentives $100 p.m.. At Romine says customers in

1:18:51 enrolled in the Colorado AC Rewards Program, sign up to get money back but give up some control for the greater good. So it helps everybody for people that participate in these programs. It is a bit uncomfortable for short period of time but its very very helpful Very very helpful! A hundred dollar rebate per month if you participate in the program where they can control and then people are like well thats not cool man I didn't sign up for that No, they didn't know what they were reading. They didn't read it! They didn't read it!! No of course not they just went to 100 bucks That's right a hundred bucks you can control my thermostat hundred bucks give me that shot see give me a hamburger I'll take the shot. Yeah or french fries remember that yeah So this is why we have shorter lifespans in America We're dumb...we're ultimate dummies

Karine Jean-Pierre, MAGA Republican Rhetoric

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre doubled down on President Biden's rhetoric characterizing "MAGA Republicans" as an extreme threat to American democracy and rights. Critics argue this language is inflammatory and intended to frame political opposition as inherently dangerous to the state.

1:48:11 was probably 10? No, maybe it was... I just remember there was a moment he was 30 or 40. Maybe it's 30 and I remember like man that's so ancient!

1:48:59 It was a lot from our president saying crazy stuff backed up by his spokeshole Karine Abdul-Jabbar, Jean Pierre Vaudon. Oh she's got to go everyone is noticing it now She really doubled down on President Biden saying that you know the

1:49:38 Republicans are Radical I think let's see what she doesn't have any trouble doing that as you recall and I've said this before She used to be on MSNBC as a contributor and more norm into her more normal self, but she was just a hater She is a hater now. Here's a prime example president thinks that there is an extremist threat to our democracy The president has been clear, as he can be on that particular piece when we talk about a democracy and when we talk about our freedoms. The way that he sees is the MAGA Republicans are the most energized part of the Republican Party. That extreme... this is an extreme threat to our democracy, to our freedom, to our rights." To our rights? I mean, that's pretty inflammatory! I think so. She should be fired on the spot

Joe Biden Crime Plan, Assault Weapons Ban

During a speech in Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden criticized Republicans for being "soft on crime" and failing to condemn the January 6th Capitol riot. Biden promoted a crime plan that includes $13 billion to hire 100,000 new police officers and reiterated his determination to pass a national ban on assault weapons.

joe biden· pennsylvania· crime bill· assault weapons ban· police funding

1:50:28 No, can't do that. I have a CBS Evening News report an overview of the president and his stop all I guess Pennsylvania is good for him He gets all fired up people show up for him to someone people come out which is good he can talk about you know being a lifeguard in the in the blackest neighborhood And he was the only white guy and corn pop and he can talk about how they are hairy legs it AR-15 bullets travel faster than ballistic missiles from Russia. I mean, the guy is losing the plot. For God's sake whose side are you on? In the battleground state of Pennsylvania today President Biden sought to flip an age old political script slamming Republicans as soft on crime Let me say this my MAGA Republican friends in Congress

1:51:18 Don't tell me you support law enforcement if you won't condemn what happened on the 6th. Don't tell me! He cited conservatives who have downplayed... This report didn't include the president saying that an armed mob, an armed army of insurrectionists tried to change the presidential vote in the United States and killed police officers while they were doing it All lies. All lies, every single one of them but it doesn't matter. Clap clap. Don't tell me! He cited conservatives who have downplayed the January 6th insurrection and called to defund the FBI as it investigates former president Donald Trump There's no place in this country No Place

1:52:05 for endangering the lives of law enforcement. I'm opposed to defunding the police, and also opposed to defunding the FBI! President Biden's more aggressive tone comes as his party's prospects improve. The latest CBS News Battleground tracker shows Democratic support from white women with college degrees has jumped nine points in one month. Yeah, get them white women. I am determined to ban assault weapons in this country. Determined I did it once before, and i'll do it again. Today President Biden laid out his crime plan which includes 13 billion dollars to hire and train a hundred thousand new police officers What he should say here is...I DID A CRIME BILL IN 94!

1:52:55 I got a new one. You're gonna like it! If you don't like it, you ain't black." Republican Senator Ron Johnson stumping for re-election in Wisconsin canned the idea. I'm sure he's going to spend more money that we don't have exacerbate inflation not accomplish whatever goal is trying to accomplish So what I would like to point out here This is the script that the mainstream plays. Fox is playing it too, the script is you know first Republicans are gonna wipe the floor with everybody now its oh man the Democrats are gaining a little ground! Oh looks like a nose length looks like they're neck and neck we have to start now get the squeeze so everybody thinks it's really close a real close race because that gets the advertising money in would you agree?

CHAPTER 30 / 44 Discussion

Election Polling Scams, Media Advertising Revenue

The cyclical nature of political polling is analyzed as a tool for media companies to generate advertising revenue by framing every election as a "neck and neck" race. A 2016 clip of former CBS CEO Les Moonves is played, in which he admits that the contentious political climate and high spending by candidates are "phenomenal" for the network's bottom line.

polling· media revenue· les moonves· political advertising· elections

1:53:47 Well, we agree every time there's an election. Every two years we have this thesis that we promote which is that all these polls which are now half owned by the media if you haven't noticed something ABC something CBS to get people on both sides to think that this is a tight race, it needs more spending. You have to spend more money until your guy gets in so let's get these neck and neck and spend more money because your guy is going to lose if you don't spend more money because look he's losing in the polls And then it comes out, whatever it comes out at the end. It's got nothing to do with the polls are wrong all the time every year. Well, the pollsters were wrong this year! I mean come on how many times? This is a Lucy in the football moment

1:54:35 Yeah, exactly. Every two years we go through this is the same script it's so yeah so tight and so close all the polls were wrong It's tiring because it's always the same and all sides play it they'll play it! To get to extract money from people's...yeah to extract money from people Yes from media for media extracts for media yes Yes, so the media is in on the scam because they're the ones who benefit. It is their scam it's not even that I mean it's their scam this is the scam they pull that's what there that's their job as far as I'm concerned well like they said remember we had a clip from Les Moonves

1:55:24 It was a conference call years ago. That was when Trump was running. He said, oh this is the great... This is Trump election is fabulous because as we made so much money this quarter on advertising Yeah want to hear that one again? The advertising climate couldn't be better right now And I've never seen it this hot for a number of years third-quarter scatter was phenomenally good and fourth is even better than that So as the year ends and we move into 2016, guess what? In 2016 we have an extra AFC playoff game. We have the Super Bowl and we have a year of political advertising that looks like it's shaping up to be pretty phenomenal. You know, we love having all 16 Republican candidates throwing crap at each other. It's great! The more they spend the better it is for us and Go Donald keeps getting out there and you know this is fun. Watching this let them spend money on us and we love having them in there We're looking forward to a very exciting political year in 2016

1:56:28 Remember those days? Yeah. Go Donald! Go Donald, everybody. Yeah yeah so that's the scam and it's going on it's gonna continue we're gonna see less more of it is gonna be a lot of this And then you had Biden on the stump with it crap He's been saying of course he I only I'm gonna get some clips from that cuz I was over clip So I couldn't get any to bite and good biting stuff You had one but I have to divide in Scranton where just shows up. This is the first thing he says Here is almost we're almost near him, we're almost at heaven who are almost as grand almost

CHAPTER 31 / 44 Discussion

Fascism Definition, 1943 Communist Directive

The modern use of the term "fascism" by the Biden administration is compared to its historical definition of "corporatism"—the merger of state and corporate power. A 1943 directive allegedly issued to U.S. communists is cited, which instructed members to label all opponents as "fascist" or "Nazi" to discredit them in the public mind through repetition.

fascism· corporatism· communism· propaganda· political labels

1:57:05 Been raising scandals, you're going down the line. At any rate... You know uh... You go down the line at any rate... I had something we need to talk about because someone emailed us about it neither of us well i think i kind of half caught it and we kind of let it go this was about the definition of fascism which seems to have changed? Yeah I'll replay a little bit of Jean-Pierre Van Damme. This is when Biden called them fascists, let's hear it.

1:57:48 you know, that will impromptu and it's going to turn into a kind of basket of deplorables thing that he regrets and then tries to be quiet about. Look I was very clear when laying out and defining what MAGA Republicans have done and you look at the definition of fascism and you think about what they're doing in attacking our democracy, what they're doing in taking away our freedoms, taking away wanting to take away our rights our voting rights. I mean that is what that is it is very clear and yes when he made that powerful speech that you heard from him last night and he has not shied away from saying that now I think we both maybe incorrectly could be Mandela

1:58:37 Mandela effect. But I think we both thought that there was a specific type, form of how government and production run together in a fascist state? Well the synonym for fascism used to always be corporatism Right And that is when the government and the corporations, which is what's going on now. If anybody's doing fascism it's the Biden administration but I think it's been going on... But what she's doing and what president is doing is conjuring images of Mussolini and Hitler and say well let's clearly these guys look at these guys don't worry that you have mandated to inject things into yourself by people who all speak with a kind of like a Nazi accent which makes even crazier Oh! The presidents talk like that

1:59:22 But I don't think we ignored anything. I think we just know what we've learned this no, I only missed a thing I think we ignored it cuz it's dumb This has been going around This is from there's some black and white video that Is on? It's going around and I thought it was fun to play in 1943 the following Directive was issued from party headquarters to all communists in the United States it read When certain obstructionists become too irritating, label them after suitable build-ups as fascist or Nazi or anti-Semitic and use the prestige of antifascist intolerance organizations to discredit them. In the public mind constantly associate those who oppose us with those names which already have a bad smell The association will after enough repetition become fact in the public mind

CHAPTER 32 / 44 Discussion

Mar-a-Lago Investigation, DOJ Court Filings

The Department of Justice released a 36-page filing detailing the recovery of highly classified documents from Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate. The filing includes a photo of documents with "Top Secret" cover sheets found in a storage room and alleges that efforts were taken to obstruct the government's investigation. Trump's legal team is currently requesting a "special master" to review the seized materials for privileged content.

mar-a-lago· fbi· department of justice· donald trump· classified documents

2:00:21 There you go. Yeah, it's an old classic. I want to talk a little bit about Mar-a-Lago and I had a bunch of clips but I only want to go through the ones where I'm doing a little deconstructing of NPR Slant. Okay So I have these NPR slant clips and what i'm going to do here is show you how biased and slanted NPRs, they have this one reporter that... You don't need to spend any time we believe you. But we're... I know but I like to exemplify it once in a while. No I like it, its good! And my favorite example is actually in these clips and I'm going to play it, but it's this woman the way she is like ah. She's just this woman...this announcer says oh Trump oh God! You can just hear her voice that she just hates him But let's go with NPR slant one Since the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago former President Trump has claimed that he completely cooperated with investigators All right now This is the main complaint I have

2:01:24 Which is that the use of the word claimed instead of said. Yep, yep That is a loaded word and that is an example Of being slanted in your reporting NPR by using the word claimed which is a loaded word that implies he lied At any point did they use the term without evidence? I don't know, this is another clip. But let me just finish this when you say claim oh he claimed it's just a way of slanting the story immediately she does it right at the beginning to immediately put in the mind that doubt in his minds of the listeners all here was a liar and instead of saying says which is what he said or tweeted or posted or did something yes something objective not

2:02:16 you know, claimed without evidence would have taken it too far. I think especially at the beginning for that. Let's let's go to the rest of and you can just hear it in her voice. Here we go to the Justice Department says any new court filing that is just not true. The department also provided new details on a high profile investigation stopping so they said it's not what? It's not true that he claimed this. Yeah exactly yeah. The way it's structured now is Trump claimed blah blah blah and the Justice Department said it's not true. So this is not true that he claimed it claimed Yeah, it's well I thought he said somebody know what but you know what? You don't have the sophistication of the typical NPR listener Otherwise you wouldn't question this you understand these things

2:03:01 Yeah, it's all built in. Okay go on true the department also provided new details on the high profile investigation and joining us now with more details is NPR justice correspondent Ryan Lucas Hi Ryan. Hi there. Okay So this new document that the Justice Department just filed in court is something like 36 pages long Why are they laughing John? Why the laughing? Is that a crazy long 36 pages, I'm just trying to understand. Well, I don't know...I read it. Did you laugh while you were reading it? But why did she say that in demeaning way? The thinking would be like this Can you believe its 36 pages?! That's how much evidence they have against this liar! And so she is laughing at all of them Oh my God!! It's a whole 36 pages just for a

2:03:49 Whatever. So it's worth I cut it there because of this laugh that she throws in, which is again biased. This is not reporting. This is laughing either. OK, so this new document that the Justice Department just filed in court is something like 36 pages long. What is what is in there? A lot in this document gives us really the most detailed look yet into the government's long-running efforts to get back from Trump classified materials and other presidential records that were taken to Mar-a-Lago after he left office. Remember, Trump was supposed to turn all of the government documents that ended up at Mar-a-Lago over to The National Archives back in January but

2:04:27 But the FBI learned that more classified documents were still at the Florida estate. And so in May, it got a grand jury subpoena for any documents that remain there. In response Trump attorneys say they did a thorough search of Mar-a-Lago including the storage room where boxes were kept Oh my god! No, 38? Uh oh. This is so insulting to my intelligence

2:05:14 Oh 38. Oh my god, oh Mark top secret! All right let's go on to the last of this. No you got three, you've got two more now we're doing three. No, there's there's four but I stopped one and you thought that you would stop it But it was no. I saw it that I thought you paid played three. Oh, no. No, I played two I stopped to yeah, I know but then I on 3i could This is time we're about to play three Three is okay. Thirty-eight classified documents, one envelope. So Trump's representative said that that was everything but then the FBI heard from witnesses that there were still more classified materials? That's right the department says the FBI had evidence that government documents were likely concealed and removed from where they were being held and that efforts were likely taken to obstruct the government's investigation. And remember one of the crimes the FBI is investigating here relates to obstruction

2:06:14 And when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago on August 8th, agents found more highly classified documents. The department says some of those documents were so sensitive that even the FBI agents and DOJ attorneys needed additional security clearances... A little laughter for him there as well he tries to hide it but uh listen I missed that one first time around back it up I want to hear it Some of those documents were so sensitive that even the FBI agents and DOJ attorneys the FBI and DOJ, they couldn't even look at it. It had to be reclassified. Some of those documents were so sensitive that even the FBI agents and DOJ attorneys needed additional security clearances before they could review them. The department notes that the FBI recovered twice as many security clearances

2:06:58 before they could review it. The department notes that the FBI recovered twice as many classified documents in a couple of hours, as Trump's attorneys did in weeks of their quote-unquote diligent search there and the department says that casts doubt on the extent of Trump's cooperation. Lock this guy up throw the key away he's horrible Now, a couple of things come to mind with that clip which is they know they're going after top secret documents. So why didn't they take bring in the top-secret cleared guys right at the beginning? Oh, excellent point. It makes no sense unless they're doing it just for effect. Yeah! Oh my god it's top secret we got to bring in bigger specialists so you guys that really know what they need cleared for this kind of thing your eyes only kinda thing yeah? That's bullcrap I would say it's possibly bull crap

2:07:48 I would say it is bullcrap, but continue with the last of it. Okay? secret and top-secret, which seems pretty important. Can you talk a little more about this photo? Right it says a couple of things one that makes clear that there's no way to argue that there could be any confusion that these were classified documents they have bright red or yellow cover sheets with secret or top secret in bold red letters on them on top of that the government says classified materials were found in Trumps desk drawer mixed in with other documents now I spoke with David Lofman he used to lead the Justice Department's counterintelligence division and he says the fact that classified documents we're just

2:08:33 mixed in with Trump's personal effects matters because it makes it reasonable to infer that Trump had a personal interest in keeping those classified documents even in the face of a grand jury subpoena. Here's Lofmann, I think some of the additional factual revelations and the filing make stronger the government's potential criminal case against the former president United States for unlawful retention of national defense information as well as his potential complicity in obstruction of justice. In other words, the new details here suggest Trump's legal peril may be greater than we previously knew? So, what's next in these proceedings? Well there is a hearing tomorrow in federal court in Florida on Trumps request for an independent special master to review the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago for potentially privileged reasons. The Justice Department opposes that it says there are no legal basis for it and it says the FBI has already gone through everything that was taken at Mar-a-Lago

CHAPTER 33 / 44 Discussion

Timothy Thibault Resignation, FBI Political Bias

Top FBI agent Timothy Thibault resigned following allegations of political bias raised by Senator Chuck Grassley. Thibault is accused of improperly marking evidence related to the Hunter Biden investigation as "disinformation" to suppress the probe. While some see the resignation as a step toward restoring the Bureau's credibility, others suggest Thibault may be a scapegoat for broader systemic issues.

timothy thibault· fbi· hunter biden· chuck grassley· political bias

2:09:28 Oh, I see. The FBI went through this you don't need some third party some neutral party to do a little refereeing here they whatever the FBI says goes who are we kidding here? And isn't it if i recall from years and years ago isn't that many ex-presidents actually get presidential briefings they get copied on security stuff for a long time after they're gone Yeah, and a lot of them keep a lot of secret documents. I mean, I guess Clinton they've dug up the fact that he still has a bunch of stuff but while we're listening to that let's play this clip the FBI quits guy Oh yeah! This is quite an interesting case A top FBI agent has reportedly resigned after allegations of political bias

2:10:13 A former FBI agent told our reporter how this might affect the Bureau and its investigations. Multiple news outlets report that top-level FBI agent Timothy Thibault resigned from the Bureau last week. That's after criticism from Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, who said Thibault showed political bias in his investigations On Tuesday, Grassley responded to Thiebaud's reported resignation saying this type of bias in high-profile investigations casts a shadow over all the Bureau's work that he was involved in and that the effort to revive the FBI's credibility can't stop with his exit.

2:10:48 In July, Grassley accused Thiebaud of purposely marking evidence against Hunter Biden as disinformation and then placing it in a restricted access file. FBI Director Christopher Wray was asked about Thiebaud's alleged bias earlier this month. He said the FBI wants to gather all information so they can go after such conduct Mark Ruskin is a former FBI agent and the author of the book The Pretender, My Life Undercover for the FBI. He says he doesn't believe that the evidence against Hunter Biden is misinformation and says the FBI should renew the investigation And now it'll be under careful scrutiny, not just from within the FBI but also from Congress and the Senate. So how does this affect public opinion of the Bureau? Can Americans trust the Bureau and their other investigations—for example into former President Trump? Ruskin says Thiebaud's scandal could actually help the FBI renew trust If the investigation now can go forward without any ideological interference

2:11:51 Then it's a very positive development. It will renew trust both the FBI by the public." But Ruskin says it is also possible that the FBI just used Thiebaud as a scapegoat, as he was already in retirement age. NTD reached out to the FBI to confirm that Thiebaud resigned but the bureau said they don't comment on personal matters What do you think's going on? The little scapegoat item in there I thought was interesting because yeah, that's a possibility. The guy is gonna retire anyway Let's see if he gets his retirement That's what you want to find out if he gets full retirement benefits the whole thing's a scam Yeah, so that's all you need to know It's all cover I guess

Mickey Dolenz FBI Lawsuit, The Monkees

Mickey Dolenz, the last surviving member of The Monkees, is suing the Department of Justice to obtain the band's full FBI files. Existing redacted files suggest the FBI monitored the group in the 1960s due to allegations that they used subliminal messages associated with left-wing politics during their live performances.

mickey dolenz· the monkees· fbi· foia· subliminal messages

2:12:36 Well, you know Morning Joe they know what this is really about. Mika and they got it covered there are reports that he might have some information or might have some papers with information on the French president and just knowing and studying Donald Trump and having known him in the past That is exactly who he would be obsessed with. Just on a personal level, you can just tell that's something he would be very interested in because that's the kind of person he would become completely obsessed with I don't understand why? Did she have any explanation whatsoever why he'd be obsessed with

2:13:14 Because it's sex stuff. She is implying that it's sex stuff and he would be obsessed with the sex stuff. Oh, because Macron likes to pee in the bed? Yeah! Only in Russia. That could be it?! And then the weirdest story kind of hooking into your FBI guy who quit It's like then this all of a sudden pops up. All right, time to check the pulse and we begin with the lawsuit from the only surviving member of The Monkees. Drummer Mickey Dolenz is suing the Justice Department to obtain secret FBI files of the band. The FBI website shows there are two files on The Monkees including one that is completely redacted in the other file an informant claims the group played to live audiences using subliminal messages associated with left wing politics

2:14:01 comment from the FBI. I remember those stories as a kid, hey man you can't watch the monkeys they do subliminal messaging in there huh? I just wonder why it's just one of those things why does this pop up why all sudden does Mickey Dolenz need to sue the FBI guess is a FOIA request yeah but see dude i was trying to read between the lines on this story and I figured I don't think originally they knew about the second file. The monkeys knew about the first file, which was the file that...I don't know if they're following him around and keeping track of him for some reason who knows why? And then did I think somebody in the agency or somebody told to him there's a second file, this secret one and that's what he's suing for. Oh! He wants to see it okay all right. What is that all about?

2:14:56 I don't know. I really don't know. Give me a break! I have no idea, nothing sounds good How about an example of the subliminal messages? There must be some nutcase out there that can show us one example and you'd slow it down or something It was back in the day...I remember this being a meme I don't remember ever being given an example No, I don't either All right I have no idea Uh, let's see. Things I learned? Oh! When you sign up for TikTok which i know you have not done Do you know who is doing their onboarding checking to see if accounts are real people? LexisNexus

2:15:47 Which I thought was really interesting. That's a new service from them? Yes, it's authentication service of new accounts and if I understand how LexisNexis works once you kind of connect with them the whole point is you get to do stuff with data You subscribe that but they also get your data and then they use that for more products LexisNexis is one of those old companies has just been around They may be doing more than we think or certainly more than were aware of Yeah, well that's what you do if you're an old company and you've gathered data. I was just going to give a little monkey pox update since we were talking about the monkeys. Oh yeah might as well. Well here is a little monkey pox update. And we have some breaking news out of Texas to tell you about health officials there have confirmed the United States first death of a person infected with monkey pox

Igor Danchenko Trial, Steele Dossier

Igor Danchenko, a primary source for the Christopher Steele dossier, is facing trial for lying to the FBI. A judge ruled that Danchenko must explain his intent to use classified information in his defense. The dossier, which contained unverified allegations against Donald Trump, was funded by the Hillary Clinton campaign and other Democratic entities.

2:17:42 What is it? Bacterial infections. Uh-huh yeah monkey pox monkey pox and we know how you got that Beto That was hilarious can't go handshaking or whatever whatever betos doing on the road Yeah, because you know only only only certain kind of people can get that as we know Here's a story about the Russian dossier guy from new Tang Dynasty another story I haven't heard before ooh Russian dossier guy. A judge ruled that a key source for the anti-Donald Trump dossier needs to explain why he needs to use classified information in his upcoming trial. Authorities say Igor Danchenko provided information for the documents compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele He is slated to go on trial later this year on five charges of lying to FBI about the information

2:18:32 He appeared in Virginia for a closed-door hearing after he notified the court of his intent to use classified information in his defense. The judge ordered that he should specify what classified information he intends to use at the trial and why that information is necessary and relevant. Anchenko is a Russian national, and was charged in November 2021. He pleaded not guilty and faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted. Hillary Clinton's campaign and other Democrats funded the anti-Trump report So this is just a story that has no, I don't know what... What? I have no idea what to say about it. Why are they running with that? And why is New Tang Dynasty apparently the only thing your television will receive? Well if you like New Tang Dynasty stuff okay I'll give you this one! I don't like New Tang Dynasty they're very annoying and mean they have good information but- Well let's- I try to keep it to one every other show so here's an answer for you. What do you mean?!

Iran Drone Confrontation, US Navy

The U.S. Navy foiled an attempt by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to capture an American maritime drone in the Persian Gulf. A four-hour standoff ensued after an Iranian ship was spotted towing the unmanned vessel, ending only after the USS Thunderbolt and a Seahawk helicopter intervened. The Navy stated the drone contained no sensitive or classified information.

2:19:30 No, every other show. Yeah I didn't have any on the last show so there's another story that is not reported anywhere this is a good one this is the drone story Oh yeah now I have this This is uh... The water drone? Is that it? Yeah think so let me see The US military sharing details of a tense confrontation that occurred between the U.S Navy and Iranian navy in international waters The US Navy says it had to stop an Iranian ship from taking an American military drone in the Arabian Gulf. According to officials, U.S forces were passing through the region Monday night that's when they spotted and Iranian Navy support ship towing the unmanned vessel

2:20:12 The military uses the maritime drone for navigation and to collect data. American forces told the Iranians they wanted it back. A standoff that lasted four hours, the Navy had to move a Seahawk helicopter to fly over the drone and position a patrol boat closer to the area. The Iranians eventually freed it and left the scene The military says the drone did not have sensitive or classified information on it, but it is US government property. Okay I'm glad you brought this and played it because this my problem with New Tang Dynasty They have the exact same information in almost the exact same amount of seconds as ABC

2:20:53 But Martha just makes it sound that much more exciting. The Navy has foiled a brazen attempt by Iran to capture a US drone, it was a four-hour confrontation playing out in the Persian Gulf ABC's Martha Raddatz has the video The Iranian military vessel had the American drone in its clutches I mean come on right off the bat! It's in his clutches and this is so much better than your news! Your news is no good The Iranian military vessel had the American drone in its clutches, latching on and towing it through the waters of the Arabian Gulf. She should have said dragging it! The captured sea drone Explorer is an unarmed unmanned vessel equipped with sensors radar and cameras to collect data And once the US Navy saw Iran was trying to steal it their response was quick

2:21:42 The USS Thunderbolt approaching the Iranian ship, nearly pulling up alongside it. The standoff lasted hours until the Iranians finally disconnected the tow line releasing the drone. You gotta admit that's how you report that story! Yeah, if you're going to be mainstream media and dramatize which is exactly what that was. Which is exactly what we do! Dramatize the news That's what we do We pull these dramatizations apart and mock them By the way Did I see Valerie Jarrett in some cabinet meeting? You know, the one where Joe walks in and then Jill Biden's in there. Isn't she a lot of cabinet meetings? That's why I've seen her before! It's all the Obama people that just... Susan Rice Yeah they got Jarrett, they got the twerp and they get two or three other old Obama people And what's the DHS lady who we don't like who is back Who surfaced again Oh I do not know this one is She worked with Napolitano

Iraq Protests, Green Zone Unrest

Violent protests erupted in Baghdad's Green Zone after prominent Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr announced his resignation from politics. Supporters stormed the government palace, leading to clashes with security forces that resulted in at least 15 deaths. The unrest is viewed as a significant challenge to Iranian influence in Iraqi politics.

2:22:46 Yeah, she's the assistant. Part of the... She is the assistant attorney general! Oh right, Donna Brazili- no not Donna Brazil. What's her name? Yes yes they keep mentioning her name she's an assistant attorney general and her name is I know come on chat room or trolls give us a name They're all doing other things. I was doing something else man Because she's been mentioned two or three times and I brought it up that she's what was he doing there Lisa Monaco Lisa Monica, there you go. You beat the trolls I did with one hand behind my little brain with one hand him buying your back

2:23:24 But there's more going on in the region from Iran, we go to Iraq. Violent protests have turned deadly in Iraq after a prominent Shiite cleric resigned from politics. At least 15 people were killed as they clashed with security forces in Baghdad and beyond. A nationwide curfew is now in place. The clerics supporters stormed the government palace even swimming in the pool there. They didn't really mention that they've blown up walls of the green zone That's not being reported. This is a story we have to look at. I'm going to have to go to Al Jazeera this next show. No, you're gonna have to go to Baghdad and we're sending you on location

2:24:05 The problem we're having is that the US government does not want our media reporting this story. That the Green Zone is blowing up! They are having a revolution in Iraq and they're gonna put in this cleric, and it's going to be a mirror image of Iran except it's gonna be Sunnis instead of Shiites. Part of this is to get their Iranians out of there Yeah yeah this is not good No, this is not good. It's not being reported. Trump! Trump! Top secret documents! Trump! Trump! That's all that we're allowed to listen to Yeah and look we have a photo of some of them on a rug On a rug just strode about Look at the photo of a rug Oh no rug By the way that rug looks like a casino rug Well...that could totally be Trumps rug I'm sure it is. I think what happened when he used to own these casinos

Donald Trump's Office, Archivist Habits

The hosts discuss Donald Trump's habit of keeping extensive piles of documents and memorabilia in his offices, describing him as a "semi-hoarder" or "archivist." They compare his cluttered workspace to their own offices, noting that his personal interest in keeping records likely contributed to the current dispute over classified materials.

donald trump· office· archivist· memorabilia· mar-a-lago

2:25:00 Hey, let's buy a few extra yards and we'll use it in offices. By the way my overall opinion from Trump former President Trump is that he too is an archivist I've seen his offices His office I think might resemble one of your offices you know piles of stuff Stuff over here, over there. Tchotchkes everywhere! Don't you think he's an archivist? He's kind of a semi-hortic... I never thought of it. You look at his office in New York when it was running and they had the Taco Bowl remember that the he was doing from Cinco de Mayo It's like hey everybody... His airplane is pretty clean Yeah but his office is off your airplanes clean too. You don't mess up the jet But your office now that's a difference we've never seen it Of course not allowed to so embarrassed

2:25:54 People have seen it. I haven't your party they run screaming Do you have before we yeah, you'll think less of me if you see my office I disagree I mean I I think I could only think higher of you oh Yeah, yeah many offices how many offices that you know anybody? You know actually have in the office a gone gone I have a gong in my office Trump might have one I have an actual gong and it's in the office. I love that some trolls going like wait, wait John has a plane? Yeah, yeah. John has what? John has a plane! Oh yeah oh yeah. It's just a Gulfstream no big deal. It's a G4 its old can't even keep up. Used. Um yes its uh...its an occasion

Gender Confirmation Center, San Francisco Surgery

Dr. Scott Mosser of the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco discusses his "super commitment" to gender-affirming surgeries. Mosser states that his practice does not have a strict minimum age for consultations and has performed surgeries on 13 and 14-year-olds. He describes his mission as living "30 to 40 years in the future" where gender transition is a normalized, multidisciplinary process.

gender confirmation center· san francisco· scott mosser· gender surgery· minors

2:26:48 Okay, do you have anything on sterilizing our young children? Do you have anything I know I have no thanks to libs of tick-tock being kicked off Twitter for a while your sources right up here and that's my source for these sources dried up. That's horrible Well, I was relying this is a good example of relying too much on Russian gas same thing. Yeah well I have one clip which is from your neck of the woods From the GCC in San Francisco you familiar with the GCC You should be you should be what's it stand for Oh the gender confirmation center?

2:27:27 Oh, the gender confirmating... No I'm not. You haven't been by? You should swing by! I should swing by but then they may grab me next thing you know I'm speaking with a high voice Next thing you know your an admiral Dr Scott Mosser We'll speak for a minute and half about what they do over there at the Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco. So I'm super committed to gender surgery, in the past... Super committed! You really got to listen to this guy we can stop it. Okay, but super-committed stopped me in my tracks? How is that different than committed? Well this guy... When you're committed right your committed means your all-in how could he be super committed

2:28:10 Because it's for this guy, he has convinced himself that this bonanza of cash is justified because he's also helping people and I will make a judgment. All right, I'm sorry, I will not say another word throughout the clip No no you can we'll have to but i was going to set up by saying I know plastic surgeons um...I've uh... given a lot of money to plastic surgeons from my ex-wives And these guys are very prof- You used the word plural. I said wives, yes for my ex wives So Mickey had plastic surgery? That I can neither confirm nor deny but that's not the point. It is just gossips. It's just gossips. Uh you know it's not just face there's all kinds of other places where plastic surgery takes place

2:29:05 But these guys are profit driven. So when I hear a guy who pivots from cosmetic surgery to sterilization of children and then is talks about being super committed, and I think this is the kind of guy that is a problem Here we go So, I'm super committed to gender surgery. In the past, I used to do cosmetic surgery and a board-certified plastic surgeon but I've always been drawn to things that are deeply impactful in the GCC, Gender Confirmation Center in San Francisco we kind of have these like secret missions now that it's on the side these public secret missions which are one of them is that we try to live with our values 30 to 40 years in the future

2:29:48 And that puts us in a mindset of extreme affirmation, because affirmation at that time is a foregone conclusion. This is the time and the future when gender is just a thing nobody makes a big deal out of it people are being screened as children and adolescents for their gender journey inappropriate steps were taken to get them involved in a multidisciplinary process to get them where they need to go That's the future I do not have a minimum age of any sort in my practice. There's no chronological age that says you don't get surgery, but having said that, I don't think I've ever done a consult on a 12-year old yet, but we would if one came our way.

2:30:27 just haven't had reason to. And then we've done a number of 13 year olds who did consults on, I think i've done one or two 13 year old surgeries for the most part it's 14 and up that by the time everything comes together plus insurance approval plus everything surgery actually gets completed We do not require any particular identity we only require that somebody has gender dysphoria and uses a multidisciplinary process for us too There you go. Your neck of the woods. 12, we take a 12 year old... Hey as long as the insurance is good to go! I don't know what to say to that clip. I'm not giving you a clip of anything that's for sure it's disgusting. No, I think we should just leave it for what it is take a beat keep some silence so people can sort of let that sink in
