About this episode

President Joe Biden delivered a primetime address in Philadelphia labeling MAGA Republicans as an extremist threat to the American republic, sparking controversy over his aggressive tone and the event's dystopian red-lit aesthetic. The speech, which journalist Matt Taibbi compared to George W. Bush’s 2002 rhetoric, featured a high-production Disney-style exit that critics contrasted with the President’s recent verbal gaffes and a White House soundstage appearance.

In Iraq, powerful cleric Muqtada al-Sadr announced his retirement from politics, triggering deadly clashes in Baghdad’s Green Zone that left 20 people dead. Meanwhile, NASA scrubbed the Artemis I moon mission for a second time due to a liquid hydrogen leak at Kennedy Space Center. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen proposed price caps on Russian gas as Gazprom suspended Nord Stream 1 deliveries, while John Podesta returned to the White House to oversee $370 billion in climate spending. In the U.S., the CDC authorized bivalent COVID-19 boosters tested primarily on mice, and former Attorney General Bill Barr criticized Donald Trump’s possession of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.

NASA Artemis I Moon Mission Launch Delays

NASA scrubbed the planned launch of the Artemis I rocket for the second time in one week due to a persistent liquid hydrogen fuel line leak. Engineers at the Kennedy Space Center attempted to troubleshoot the issue three times without success, forcing the agency to roll the rocket back to the Vehicle Assembly Building. This technical failure likely delays the next launch window until late September or October 2022.

00:00 It's time to rubbleize! Adam Curry, John C. DeVore Action! Sunday September 4th 2022 this is your award-winning Gimbal Nation Media Assassination Episode 1483 This is no agenda Better dead than red And broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region No. 6, In The Morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry... ...and from Northern Silicon Valley where we're still waiting for this Artemis thing—I mean what is it gonna take? —I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Clackvot and Buzzkill! In The Morning! I have a sequence of clips

00:37 Blam of short clips. Yeah, it started off Okay NASA says everything is a go so far for tomorrow's planned launch of the Artemis one mission to the moon Forecasters say the weather is expected to cooperate The blast-off window is tomorrow afternoon And from what I understand, they already knew they had problems when she was talking about this. So the next day... Well for the second time this week NASA's Artemis rocket did not fly The space agency scrubbed the launch of the massive rocket after a new technical issue surfaced and attempts to fix it failed CBS' Mark Strassman is at the Kennedy Space Center Mark earlier this week it was an issue with the engine What happened this time?

01:17 A lot of frustration here. NASA just announced it looks as though they're going to have to roll the rocket back to the garage, back to the Vehicle Assembly Building that would delay the next launch window until later this month more likely later next month today's problem came up a couple of hours into loading the rocket with propellant It happened at the bottom of the rocket, right about here. They discovered a leak in the liquid hydrogen fuel line and they tried to troubleshoot it three different times all without luck and at that point the launch was a scrub. Second time in five days that NASA has been luckless on the launch pad both times a liquid hydrogen leak was an issue and frustration comes after years of delays and billions of dollars in cost overruns and Liliya this rocket still hasn't left the launch pad

02:05 Yeah, it's kind of analogous to Joe's whole deal. It just don't work. Here's the fun final short clip. That's right, I mean we were waiting all day today back and forth a lot of communication from NASA to the public and it didn't happen Just big picture here Mark how important is it for NASA that Artemis 1 succeed? It's everything! I mean NASA has a timeline to return astronauts to the moon but first they have to have a successful test flight around the Moon and back from Artemis one A minimum of drama And right now they can't even get it off the ground Nice sexual kind of connotation there at the end. They can't even get it off the ground, hey man here you go. Minimum of drama and right now they can't even get it off the ground Can't even get it up man...can't get it up Do I have a few uh to get this off? Oh yeah When are they gonna fly this thing again or try it again Never You know what just go look up Operation High Jumper you know the real problem all right onward

Correction on WD-40 History and Global Crude Oil Types

A correction is issued regarding the history of WD-40, confirming the name stands for "Water Displacement, 40th formula," which was originally used to protect Convair Atlas missiles. The discussion clarifies the difference between "sweet crude" and "sour crude" oil, noting that sour crude contains high levels of sulfur and requires more processing. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen's recent comments on "dirty" Russian fossil fuels are attributed to this sulfur content.

wd-40· water displacement· sour crude· sweet crude· sulfur

03:06 I have a few mea culpa's, so i'm gonna get out of the way. Yes we had a few you even wrote that in the newsletter! I was surprised... We're never wrong what are you talking about? Well sometimes you're not really wrong but you... You're made a mistake. Oh, hold on second this is not about we have some mea culpa's Is this stuff that I did wrong? No, it's me. Okay, you never make no Hey, how's that DW 40 doing huh? Ww4 wd40 I was right yes at WD for do you were right what you weren't right whatever you were reading or whoever that guy was was right Excuse me. I didn't hear you. I was what

03:45 You're right. Okay, it was water displacement number 40 which used the Cote's rockets So who knew? It just seemed fishy The other thing is it's not dirty crude its sour crude But I told you that that was that was hyperbole of the newsreader over there whoever that one was That it was I think so There's two kinds of crude. There's two kinds of major crudes crude oil and One is sour, it's loaded with sulfur. And the other one is sweet. It's sweet crude and the sweet crude is a good stuff because you don't have to desulfurize it. Yeah, you can cook with it or is that...

04:26 I guess not. I never tried but it's, I don't think so it's kind of grimy okay yeah that was Queen Ursula who said the dirty dirty Russian fossil fuels! Yeah dirty yeah so now we understand what she was talking about and the last one was Saterr the guy in Iraq is a Shiite not a Sunni the Sunnis there's really no the Sunni faction of Iraq... Now what guy are we talking about here? Well I said that Al-Sadr, the guy who's a... Al Sadr yeah. ...Al Sadr was a Sunni and i got called out you're full of it he is not as Sunni he's a Shiite and he is I mean I should have known that because

CHAPTER 03 / 47 Discussion

Iraq Political Crisis and Muqtada al-Sadr Resignation

Violence erupted in Baghdad's Green Zone after powerful Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr announced his retirement from politics. Rival Shiite factions engaged in heavy fighting involving gunfire and explosions, resulting in at least 20 deaths and hundreds of injuries. The political deadlock has left Iraq without a functional government for over a year as al-Sadr's supporters demand the dissolution of parliament and new elections to remove Iranian influence.

iraq· baghdad· muqtada al-sadr· green zone· shiite factions

05:04 Iraq is mostly a Shiite country even though it was always run by Sunnis. Hey man, it's okay you're allowed to make mistakes that why we have the best traditions I want to get this Iraq thing straightened out because there going be an issue for the president Oh yeah oh its a big issue So I've got a bunch of clips on it too but let me explain what's going on here This guy who is something of a phony in terms of quitting he's never gonna quit they say And I have one of these experts from, of all places, Johns Hopkins. Oh yes! This is where the experts live? Yeah they're all there so he is a Shiite who hates Iranians and hates the Iranian Shiites and he's actually up against...a faction of the Shiites running for office in Iraq are Iranian Shiites or the pro-Iranian Shiites, they're Iraqis

05:56 And he thinks they should be kicked out of the country and associated with the United States. So, he's a hardliner of a certain sort that is very popular guy and I have some clips about having Iraq report which I did pick up from Al Jazeera. I'm glad you have this because a lot of people see what's going on here we talked about the green zone being under attack on last episode which is really just not reported The green zone is basically gone. The walls have been blown down. They took the walls down and they're running into the green zone, the Green Zone's a fiasco at this point but the whole country hasn't had government for over a year. Hey that's what we do!

06:43 That's what we do. We rub a lie phone finger number one look who we did everybody he did it again I looked around cuz I knew I couldn't get any of this information from any mainstream, you know anti-trump local news So I went to Al Jazeera and they had a couple reports and I picked one apart And this is the one I've got This is Iraq report 1 A political crisis in Iraq has erupted into violence after the powerful Shiite leader, Muqtada al-Sadr announced he was quitting frontline politics. Gunfire and explosions have rocked Baghdad's high security green zone in the past few hours with reports of heavy fighting between rival Shi'ite factions. At least 20 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the worst fighting Iraqi capital has seen in years. Victoria Gatembe begins our coverage

07:35 Chaos in Baghdad's heavily fortified green zone. Rival Shiite factions targeting each other. The fighting escalated late on Monday night after a day of violence and political turmoil. It's probably better as a visual report, but I do like the sound effects. The sound effects are great! I had to cut most of them out because there were bombs and they were just going crazy with the sound effects. Yeah, i've seen some of the footage... But they had a lot of visuals showing these maniacs just holding up a gun and shooting it wildly into the green zone. You know what you don't see? You don't see anyone on-I mean it's chaos in these videos but you don't see anyone getting shot. You see just hear

08:28 You don't see a lot of shooting. Well, there's a lot of bodies laying around here and there so it's not really completely true. Somebody is getting shot but is maniacs just like you know this if you remember that war in Iraq where you have these these show-offs that like to stand in the middle or them standing up holding your gun and shooting from the hip yeah and then killing their son or their friend? Yeah they're just nuts So, let's go to part two. Protests broke out after Shiite cleric Mactala al-Sadr announced he was quitting frontline politics His supporters broke into the presidential palace which houses the prime minister's office Many even taking to the palace pool

09:13 This is a thing now, isn't it? It's like if there's revolution you better show plebs jumping in the presidential pool or something. That that's kind of this was packed. Yeah Pool in the Bronx or something was packed palace pool I Our demands are to dissolve parliament and to hold the corrupt to account. And we say, my master, Moktada al-Sadr, their pride is under your feet and will sacrifice for you. Victory is ours." Caretaker Prime Minister Mustafa Alkademi halted cabinet sessions until further notice but Iraq's political life was already in limbo

09:57 There's been deadlock for almost a year since Mokhtar al-Sadr's party won the largest share of seats in elections last October. It wasn't enough to secure a majority and Sadr hasn't been able to form a government of his choosing He told MPs to resign in June, and supporters have been protesting since July Some even briefly occupied parliament They want new elections without the participation of Iran-backed groups. This is an Iraqi revolution, Iraq should be returned to its people. This is not the first time Sadr has announced his retirement from politics and many have dismissed it as a bluff to gain leverage over his rivals. Already several protesters have been killed and hundreds wounded

10:46 And it's feared Sadr's latest move could lead to yet more instability. You know, this is really quite a sad example of an overthrow of government I mean look at us man January 6 now that was that was insurrection brother what you guys are doing is nothing so What exactly is the problem? He couldn't form a cabinet as a parliamentary system? They couldn't form a government A government or a cabinet? It's a parliamentary system. A government, right. Government Yeah I'm sorry cabinet yeah a government he couldn't form a coalition that's the term we're looking for and so the other group all ganged up and they made it fake one They ganged up oh no! This guy is a populist guy He's the one who wants to you know Iraq first let's get rid of these Iranian influencers Let's get this out of there The Sunnis meanwhile have been taken out Of the picture largely because they're the ones who turned everything over to ISIS

CHAPTER 04 / 47 Discussion

Green Zone Infrastructure and Hayward California Comparison

An anecdote describes the Baghdad Green Zone's internal infrastructure as resembling an American suburban country club or a housing tract in Hayward, California. Despite the current violence and the breach of its perimeter walls, the zone historically featured American-style amenities and tract homes. The transition of the area from a protected enclave to a site of civil unrest marks a significant shift in the Iraqi political landscape.

baghdad· green zone· hayward california· nation building· infrastructure

11:41 Right, that wasn't a good one. So that's the end of their political career because they're useless and then the Kurds are the odd man out and it's hard to say where they're headed but none of this is being covered by Western media because we were so preoccupied with January 6th investigation and listening to Biden Melania's underpants! We were ahead of times brother, we knew it was coming Well, yeah we got that part right. So but the thing this is a major you know I don't know if it reflects poorly on the United States and our nation building and all the rest of these idiots and our stupid green zone people who started this stupid war We're outta there! The Green Zone they're up to... They are on their own so the Green Zone's done for that whole idea There is a lot pools there in the how come not diving into the Green Zone pools?

12:34 I don't know, there's probably a few of them. They just started reporting it now they're the great friend of mine was in the we lived in the green zone from high school he got ahold me some years ago and you told me that the Green Zone is the closest thing I can country club for my edification the closest thing he knew that could compare to his Hayward Hayward, California this kind of a suburban community it had all these house tract homes Oh really like part of him. He said looks like America didn't they have like Pizza Hut and Burger King no No, there was just like yeah like Heyward Yeah, that's why we want to see some of these is some of these Iraqis like you know busting down a Burger King

Iran Travel Advisory and Iraq Constitutional Impasse

The Iranian government issued a travel advisory for its citizens and canceled all flights to Iraq following the instability in Baghdad. Iranian officials closed land border crossings and urged Iraqi factions to resolve their political misunderstandings through the existing constitution. However, supporters of Muqtada al-Sadr continue to challenge the legitimacy of the current system of government and the laws governing their parliamentary process.

iran· iraq· travel advisory· border crossing· constitution

13:13 kick him back in a Taco Bell. It looks to me, because there's a bunch of... this is a long report I only took like four clips but they had one guy that he wouldn't go in there he says it's a mess he says just because bullets are just flying every which way from both sides and he says you can't go so you can't really get what you described you can't get that in and out it's the problem Yeah, I mean it's a mess. This is really something that should be reported Let's go to clip three well with more on how the Iranian government is reacting to the violence in Baghdad Well, we've heard from officials in Iran who have advised their citizens not to travel to Iraq. They have also canceled all flights to Iraq as a result of the instability that is ongoing in that country. There's a travel advisory for all Iranian citizens to avoid travel to the country. They

14:07 the land border crossings between Iraq and Iran. Of course, the two countries are neighbors and they share a very long border that stretches about 1300 kilometers. We also heard from the foreign ministry spokesperson earlier this evening, he said that the Iranian government believes there is no political impasse that Iraq can't solve itself, and that the Iranians are recommending that Iraq pursue a solution to political misunderstandings they're having based on its constitution. Which is interesting, of course, because one of the main issues that is at the core of

14:50 Muqtada al-Saudi supporters and the government is the Constitution itself, and the laws that have been put in place about the system of government that they have. Yeah, that was our doing mostly... It's gonna kick that feeling of the Constitution to the curb and do whatever they used to or whatever they're comfortable with. And what they're comfortable with is not Having a bunch of foreigners there seems to me, but now we take it the last clip Yeah, I'm just doing that to fill up the color so we sound the same as the clips. That's a good idea! The last clip is our expert from Johns Hopkins who comes in and makes a couple of comments. Oh, I'm excited! By the way... Listen to this guy. See this guy is from Johns Hopkins but he speaks like a guy who doesn't sound like a very... You'll see

Johns Hopkins Expert Analyzes al-Sadr Political Tactics

Albert Wolff, a research associate at Johns Hopkins University, characterizes Muqtada al-Sadr's resignation as a tactical move to gain political leverage rather than a permanent exit. Wolff notes that al-Sadr is currently resisting both U.S. and Iranian influence while demanding a prime minister independent of Nouri al-Maliki. The analysis suggests that Western media has largely ignored these developments to focus on domestic U.S. politics and the conflict in Ukraine.

albert wolff· johns hopkins university· muqtada al-sadr· foreign policy· nouri al-maliki

15:49 Albert Wolff is a research associate at Johns Hopkins University. He isn't shocked by Sader's announcement. Frankly, I think this is Sader being Sader. I do believe that this is—I wouldn't call it a stunt per se—but I do believe that he was jockeying for leverage in this current political crisis the past two elections have yielded the same exact results. One of the things that's pushing him is that he has not been able to get a prime minister of his choosing, one of the things that he demanded was

16:28 The coordination framework nominates someone who was quote unquote independent from Nouri al-Maliki. That's one thing that's pushed this and the second thing is, is that he's resisting US and Iranian influence so these are a couple of the things that are pushing to us but these are tactics that has been used since 2003 I think the United States has just dropped all foreign policy except Russia and Ukraine. And EU, everything else is just gone! They don't seem to be doing anything. Well we're doing a crappy job of it...

17:09 And this is a joke now, I mean this is why I think it's not being covered They're told not to cover it because it just reflects poorly on all this Bush Cheney Democrat we gotta keep people focused on the scary MAGA Republicans. Yeah mega mega mega That's my now where I think that are everyone's caught up with Iraq. No, yes. It yeah Something on Iraq I've had No, we're caught up. It's not good. What else? Don't mess with us! We'll come in there and screw it up and screw the screw-up. Rubble eyes! It's time to rubble eyes! Alright so this everyone is in a tizzy about the Biden speech and I'll give you a boots on the ground from The Hill Country which has always...I have a bunch of clips from this speech but they are all short except that got one

CHAPTER 07 / 47 Discussion

Texas Hill Country Reactions to National Political Tension

A local report from the Texas Hill Country describes growing frustration and anger among residents regarding the current state of the U.S. government. A local septic technician shared anecdotes about a recent Ted Nugent concert and expressed that many people feel "pushed to the edge" by federal policies. This "boots on the ground" perspective highlights a disconnect between rural sentiment and the national political narrative.

texas hill country· ted nugent· septic tank· political frustration· boots on the ground

18:10 The definitive long bitchin' moan about MAGA, MAGA, MAGA. I got that too but go yeah give us a boots on the ground what do you have what do people think they're in Hill Country Texas? So Paul my septic tank guy he came by and now Paul is larger than life He's got a dually huge dually pickup truck You know it's gotta flip phone You know, he just... when he jumps out smoking his Marlboros my dog doesn't even bark at him. This guy is like... He's in command of everything and so we're fixing some small problem

18:50 And he's like, hey did you go see Ted Nugent? I said uh you know actually did look. I said Tina is a big fan and really want to go by the time i looked it was all gone. We had we had a box 12 seats people serving us drinks was great! He just goes on the tell us you know all this shit Ted would say about the government and ATF... Then he says what do think about our country man?! Before I can even say anything he's like I'll tell you a lot of people are fed up fed up fed up!! I was a little concerned with seems to be frustration bordering maybe a little bit on anger. And from Paul, you know there's some crazy dudes I don't want to say he is crazy but and i dont think anything would happen but they seem like pushed to the edge with this one and that's more narrative than what actually took place

Biden Philadelphia Speech Visuals and V for Vendetta Comparison

The visual presentation of President Joe Biden's recent speech in Philadelphia, featuring intense red backlighting, drew widespread comparisons to dystopian films like V for Vendetta. Critics noted similarities between the stage design and the fictional Chancellor Adam Sutler's broadcasts. The aesthetic choice has sparked significant online commentary and memes involving historical and fictional authoritarian figures.

joe biden· philadelphia· red lighting· v for vendetta· political imagery

19:43 But man, how cool. Did they think that ABC News executive did the red lighting? Was that his doing like we did such a great job on the January 6 trial let's have this guy do this thing I don't think so. What do you think? It was just an accident? Somebody's gonna have to explain it to me because it was dumb and all the memes coming out of it with Beelzebub, and Baphomet, and all that... And lizard heads! The lizard head is a good one and of course Hitler Stalin you name it yeah actually you know that uh I got a little one minute clip here I think it was Jimbo, producer Jimbo sent this to me from V for Vendetta. You know one of the classic movies. Yeah a great movie Remember remember the 5th November gunpowder treason and plot? And so this is the Chancellor and the Chancellor's on this huge screen in front of you know whatever the council is and he's commanding them and It looks very similar to the Joe Biden set with that you know The red on both sides and also kind of what he said Every day gentlemen

20:48 Every day that brings us closer to November every day that man remains free is one more failure 347 days gentlemen 347 failures Chancellor we do not have the adequate for we are being buried beneath the avalanche of your inadequacies, Mr. Creedy! Tonight I will speak directly to these people and make the situation perfectly clear to them The security of this nation depends on complete and total compliance Tonight any protester, any instigator or agitator will be made example off

President Biden Labels MAGA Republicans as Extremist Threat

President Joe Biden delivered a primetime address warning that Donald Trump and "MAGA Republicans" represent an extremism that threatens the foundations of the American republic. While Biden stated that not every Republican embraces this ideology, he argued the party is currently dominated and intimidated by Trump. White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre later defended the rhetoric, stating that views outside the majority consensus are inherently extreme.

joe biden· maga republicans· donald trump· extremism· political rhetoric

21:32 Yeah, kind of like that. We should go right into the Biden...the long part of the Biden speech that I have clipped here. Okay? Which one is it? It's Biden MAGA cancer! Okay.... I give you my word as a Biden... You know what how about how about i play one into the next just to make the whole effect perfect Just a little tale of this one here. Okay, it was the wrong clip anyway. I need the Biden... Mega rant redux is the one you want to play so once you plan back-to-back. Yeah, just a little bit of this one Okay night any protester any instigator or agitator will be made example off We must be honest with each other and with ourselves Too much of what's happening in our country today is not normal Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans

22:22 represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic. Now I want to be very clear, very clear up front not every Republican not even a majority Republicans are MAGA Republicans Not every Republican embraces their extreme ideology. I know because i've been able to work with these mainstream Republicans But there's no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans. And that is a threat to this country These are hard things

23:06 But I'm an American president. Well, a couple of years since you stopped it I will mention this. I thought he was jacked up on something different and then he was...and i think its the same thing when he was jacked up in Wilkes Bar, Pennsylvania because it was the same kind of cadence and he was all jacked up. The next day, and I have a clip of him the next day He was half dead! He was half dead the next day

23:52 We have some comments about that too, but this the other thing that's interesting about this particular spiel from Biden is that there was sirens going off in the background constantly. Yeah it's Pennsylvania. There was some guy on a bullhorn yelling fuck Biden and let's go Brandon there was that too I heard that. And it was a disaster...I thought it was a mess. Listen to this one bit because this is something I think is overlooked because he did point it out specifically. Intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, because i've been able to work with these mainstream republicans but there's no question that the republican party today is dominated driven and intimidated by Donald Trump on the MAGA Republicans so extrapolating here He is in fact saying that the Republican Party Is driven by

24:47 these crazy nut jobs Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans but I think he means specific politicians right? Would you say, I mean obviously it doesn't matter but just we're gonna... I'm not sure what you mean. Yeah, there's a bunch of politicians that are... Right but he is not talking about Republican voters because that was the big thing. Republican voters Paul the Septic guy Oh I see what you're saying They're saying hey man this he's saying this about us You know we're insane We're extreme yeah i think your might be right so I think it's possible that he's assiduously avoiding assiduously avoiding calling

25:26 the whole base of Republicans deplorables and anything stupid like Hillary did. No, no Biden is smart he has a Kareem Abdul Jean-Pierre Van Claude Van Damme to do that for him Yeah I think it's more Valerie Jarrett doing that for you than her Listen to this And again, we see majority of Americans who disagree. And so when you are not with where majority of Americans are then that is extreme. That is an extreme way of thinking. So if you think for yourself... You're extreme! You're nuts!

CHAPTER 10 / 47 Discussion

Biden Speech Plagiarism Allegations and Matt Taibbi Analysis

Journalist Matt Taibbi observed that portions of President Biden's Philadelphia speech appeared to be modeled after George W. Bush's 2002 rhetoric regarding domestic threats. The speech focused on themes of political violence, the rule of law, and the refusal to accept election results. Taibbi noted that Biden's delivery was unusually "jacked up" and lacked his typical verbal stumbles, leading to speculation about the preparation for the event.

matt taibbi· george w. bush· plagiarism· political violence· rule of law

26:04 So she's the one that screwing it up. Anyway, we'll continue with this I got some clips from her making some funny errors Let me just watch it She's dumb let's listen to the rest of the president or The person jacked up to be the president And that is a threat to this country These are hard things But I'm an American president Not a President of red America blue America but of all America And I believe it's my duty, my duty to level with you and tell the truth no matter how difficult. No matter how painful. Here in my view is what is true. MAGA Republicans do not respect the Constitution. They don't believe in the rule of law they did not recognize the will of people. They refuse to accept results from a free election

27:03 And they're working right now, as I speak in state after state to give power to decide elections in America. To partisans and cronies empowering election deniers to undermine democracy itself MAGA forces are determined to take this country backwards. Backwards! To an America Where there is no right to choose No, right to privacy. No Right to contraception no right to marry who you love They promote authoritarian leaders and they fan the flames of political violence that are a threat To our personal rights so the pursuit of justice to the rule of law to the very soul of this country

27:52 Matt Taibbi did a pretty good job deconstructing this and he said it is almost word for word lifted from George W Bush's 2002 speech which kicked off the whole you know terrorist under every rock. Who said this? Matt Taibbi Oh, yeah it could be. I mean Biden's notorious as a plagiarist. But specifically, I will not stand by and watch the will of the American people be overturned by wild conspiracy theories which i don't think you had... Did we have that one? Yes, no, yeah, yeah, we had that. Yeah, yeah. Bush said, I will not stand by as peril draws closer and closer

28:37 I will act. I will not stand by it, that's all about you. Read the...I put it in the show notes read the Taibi piece. The Taibi also said that he thought that the speech from Biden was... He noticed it was jacked up too on something but he said there was...it was flawless in terms of his normal flubbing It was flawless! I've got some examples...I don't think so Oh well it didn't do anything It's highly offensive. Is this the grubbing package? What is this? Well, the grubbing package is a good idea because he I repeated it by kind of sweetened it a little bit so you can hear it over and over but what are you trying to say here play them grubbing package. I believe we could lift America from the depths of COVID So we passed the largest economic grubby package since Franklin Delano Roosevelt

CHAPTER 11 / 47 Discussion

Biden Economic Gaffes and Ben Shapiro Impression

President Biden faced mockery for verbal slips during his economic remarks, including referring to a "grubbing" or "grabbing" package instead of a recovery plan. The rapid-fire delivery of certain patriotic themes led to a comedic comparison with the speaking style of commentator Ben Shapiro. Critics pointed to these moments as evidence of the President's inconsistent energy levels between public appearances.

joe biden· economic package· ben shapiro· verbal gaffes· inflation

29:32 Biden is economic Viagra this guy he said that the American economy is faster than than any other country in the world. That's right, faster bigger more girth! What does that mean? Hey man, America is faster that means... And what's a grubbing package well you know if you look at the true definition of inflation but the velocity of money is important so maybe that's what he means I don't think so and was this grubbing did he say grubbing or grabbing it sounded more like grabbing

30:09 I believe we could lift America from the depths of COVID so we pass the largest economic grabby package. Economic grabbing package? Economic grabbing package, yeah that's what it is. Grabbin' the economy don't you think they said me grabbing? Grubbies and money grubbers would he say? Oh okay well i'll take that So drugs really hit the peak. This is where he's there's a six-second clip of him fast talking I'm like taking it back by this Patriotism Liberty justice for all hope possibilities we are still at our core a democracy Yeah, that was he was peeking. He was tweaking at that point. He was tweaking you so Can do hold on second can I do this can I oh

30:51 Can I give him a little bit of tempo here? Let's do one like Ben Shapiro. He is getting pretty close! Let me see if this works, hold on... Ben Shapiro! Patriotism, liberty justice for all hope possibilities we are still at our core a democracy Yeah yeah even sped up it was pretty good Good old Joe Here is another one by Mega Pro what? Ladies and gentlemen We can't be pro-insurrectionists. Another hard word for him, yes it's hard yeah but that's just stuttering man you're being mean to a stutterer okay he has a disability he's never was a victim Now I got the longer clip this is the mega cancer which i thought was a good little bit... I give you my word as Biden I've never been more optimistic about America's future not because of me but because of who you are

CHAPTER 12 / 47 Discussion

Biden Cancer Moonshot and Campaign Style Comparison

President Biden reiterated his pledge to "end cancer as we know it" while pivoting to a critique of MAGA Republicans' political philosophy. Observers noted that Biden's aggressive tone mirrors the inflammatory style of Donald Trump's rallies, though Biden lacks the same level of crowd energy. The shift toward "lock him up" style rhetoric marks a departure from Biden's previous calls for national unity.

joe biden· cancer moonshot· donald trump· political rallies· lock him up

31:55 We're gonna end- Timing is great! Never been more optimistic about America's future. Woooo! That's perfectly timed I give you my word as a Biden, I've never been more optimistic about America's future Not because of me but because of who you are We're gonna end cancer as we know it Mark my words We're going to create millions of new jobs in a clean energy economy. We're going to think big, we're going to make the 21st century another American century because the world needs us too! That's where we need to focus our energy not on the past not on divisive culture wars Not on politics and grievance but on a future that we can build together

32:45 The Maggie Republicans believe that for them to succeed, everyone else has to fail. They believe America is not like I believe about America. I believe America's big enough for all of us to succeed and that is the nation we're building a nation where no one is left behind Okay, he started. He did a lot of cliches Yeah No That was all that was a cliche fest But I will say now that I've listened to this very carefully and I've heard you know him single out specifically these Politicians who are the ones they want to throw in jail? I'm not of course not justifying this I think Trump said equally as flammable things about Democrat politicians

33:30 It's just inflammatory. Inflammatory, yes that yeah, yeah. Inflammatory thank you. That is why there are two of us He said a lot of that stuff and we were all cheering now the thing that is weird I wasn't cheering I never listened to his speech. It was hilarious but the thing that is weird... Well he went too..I understand he did it 2 hour set No but wait a minute before we talk about his gig When he was running, all the MAGA people were out and the stadiums are still full. People love it. They're cheering like lock her up. It doesn't matter what it is. Lock her up! So Biden is kind of doing a similar thing actually

34:09 Kind of poorly because he you know, he doesn't have the stage presence. And so they kind of add that with red But what's weird is that the Democrats aren't out there going? Yeah. Yeah lock him up They're not energized by it They also kind of find it creepy or maybe everyone's just tired of this particular type of campaigning Which I think and I watched a lot of Trump. He's still doing similar stuff Well, that's not really new material. I got two more clips to play here and I want to play just ask you a question like this is the end of the MAGA speech which is what I'm calling it

CHAPTER 13 / 47 Discussion

Disney Style Production and Biden Stage Exit

The production of President Biden's recent events has been criticized as overly theatrical, with some comparing the music and lighting to a Disney production. Observers noted the awkward transition at the end of his Philadelphia speech, where a mash-up of "America the Beautiful" and "Yankee Doodle" played as he was escorted off stage by his wife. This is contrasted with the high-production orchestral music used at Donald Trump's recent rallies.

joe biden· disney· marines· stage presence· production value

34:47 And I thought it was weird the way it ended because instead of playing Hail to the Chief or some uplifting thing, they walked him off with some bullshit. You know some... Some horrible walk-off and then as he left the place they played America is Beautiful. I thought it was just listen to this and this is a way it ended. Democracy! Thank you I Oh my god, it's a mash-up of America the Beautiful and Yankee Doodle Went to Town. Yeah exactly and it sounds like something you'd hear on The Rocky Bullwinkle Show Or from Disney! It's a Disney production! Perfect you nailed it. That's it the whole thing was done by woke people at Disney they did The Lights they did The Marines They did the music They gave the shot originally to Shirley Temple

35:51 and later Britney Spears, you know they give that to Joe. Totally Disney! Crazy. So the next day... Wait I didn't clip it because it's like oh thats interesting to see Trump at the end of his rally. During his whole last spin-up, he said we will make America better again, handsomer again more orange again and beautiful again and while he's doing that for about three minutes they have a new track that plays very inspirational big orchestral music just building up to the very end it is timed Now I wish i'd clipped because this is a joke compared to that

36:48 It is a joke, there's no doubt. And then Biden also staggers off you know he still unsteady his wife has to be there to actually walk him off the stage. Yeah to escort him so that he doesn't fall over I think that Obama people are now just starting to uncloak everywhere this isn't an Obama person speech this is not even someone in the White House well the people in the White House are Obama people You know we watched The Elvis Movie Yeah, which has turned out to be a box-office flop I guess. I loved it! I really love the movie but i could not help but remind...but be reminded continuously that you know Biden is kind of like Elvis with Dr Nick It's like if you've seen the movie Colonel Parker's doctor, Dr Nick he's the guy that kept jacking Elvis up even when he was literally fainting and that's what they got to have for Biden, a dr nick

CHAPTER 14 / 47 Discussion

White House Soundstage and Job Growth Statistics Error

President Biden appeared in a White House soundstage set that critics described as looking "cheap" and "cheesy," featuring plastic chairs and a low desk. During a subsequent briefing, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made a significant error by claiming the administration had created "ten thousand million jobs" since taking office. The actual figure for August job growth was 315,000, highlighting a massive discrepancy in the official communication.

joe biden· karine jean-pierre· job growth· soundstage· verbal error

37:49 Well, it's probably a Dr. Nick so the next day with this stuff wears off and so the next day he does this crazy little event where he were a bunch of people win some award or something and Biden comes us in that stupid little Room the green screen room they have outside the White House. It's the TV studio. It's not it's not a little room No, it's a stage is a soundstage as a little stage and they have a big stage He only still but it's divided into four or five sets Well he comes in there and he's got a little cheap table Yeah, that's too low. That's too low

38:26 Yes, he's got a cheap low table and he sits on that cheap... And I'm talking cheap plastic chair. That's got those little white... You should look at this. Let me go back and look and see the chair here and then I guess it was Granholm or somebody else sitting in the other one. And this is cheap! It's just cheesy! Cheesy plastic chair, cheesy little desk and then like a Zoom thing going on. He's completely out of it He's just and he's like almost falls asleep a couple of times But I do have this one little clip of him babbling about not even making sense Next day Biden is the clip. Oh, I'm sorry okay got it

39:08 I took a look at this as a transition investment. I'm so proud to announce 21 awardees up on the screen here who each received between 25 million and 65 million jobs to turn their plans into action How many jobs? 25 and 60 million Oh man, tell me you got the clip of Kareem Abdul Jean-pierre about the you where she says there's 10,000 million. Yeah Do you have that one? I do have it Oh, let's play that course. I have it CP superflows, I think this is super flubber yeah as you know The good news is in August the economy created three hundred and fifteen thousand jobs Which is important we have created nearly ten thousand million jobs all

39:57 I don't think so! Since President Biden took office, which is the fastest job growth in history. So you're asking me where's the success? Here it is wait let me finish Wait hold on This is where I'm sure Ducey was trying to say You made a mistake teacher! You said 10 thousand million I'm sure that's what was going on. I have the exact same impression. I didn't even have to look at her No, that was the beauty of it is oh That's its funny but that's not a true. I mean the thing about extreme Republicans That's that's that's terrifying this lady is so crazy Now I do have let me see

CHAPTER 15 / 47 Discussion

Bill Barr Criticizes Trump Classified Document Possession

Former Attorney General Bill Barr stated in a Fox News interview that there is no legitimate reason for Donald Trump to have taken classified documents to his private residence. Barr dismissed Trump's claims of broad declassification as a potential "abuse" of power. Meanwhile, Trump used Truth Social to attack the FBI and DOJ, alleging that agents rifled through the former First Lady's closets during the Mar-a-Lago search.

bill barr· donald trump· classified documents· fbi· department of justice

40:37 He's just kind of in the primetime purge of all things Trump and Republicans that fed into this speech. By the way, it looks like Google Play has kicked off Truth Social and you know The Citizens for Responsible Ethics in Washington also known as CREW. Remember those Jamokes? CREW. They're calling for both Apple and Google to It should not be on app stores. Yeah, that's what you get when you live in that ecosystem I know this is what so funny? Yeah You don't hear us complaining now. I got my graphene and i'm loving it. We're loving it everything works fine with me uh So I have oh yeah, so this is a little bit of color Uh from cbs weekend and it's just relatively short clip about uh bar

41:32 And Barr's comments, I think Barr's comments on Fox now being commented on by CBS Weekend about the classified documents. I can't think of a legitimate reason why they should have been could be taken out of the government away from the government In an interview with Fox News Trumps former Attorney General Bill Barr shot down the former president's justifications for possessing possibly still classified documents at his private residence If in fact he sort of stood over scores of boxes not really knowing what was in them and said I hereby declassify everything in here that would be such an abuse. Meanwhile on his social media platform Truth Social Trump lashed out at the Department of Justice and the FBI calling the bureau quote totally corrupt, and claiming they stole items from his home and rifled through the former first lady's closets plural

42:27 Oh my god, she has more than one closet and attorney bar shot him down. That is so by the way Let's just call that what it is chicken shit shot him down baby shot him down Got about that one Whoopee. So there's a couple of things I was thinking of because they made a big fuss about this first They show the photo of these you know all those top secrets thrown around on the rug, on this casino rug and then now they make it to next day like the last couple days have been making a fuss about the fact that the folders were empty

CHAPTER 16 / 47 Discussion

Empty Classified Folders and Trump as Collector

Recent reports from the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago revealed that several folders marked "Classified" were found empty. This has led to speculation that Donald Trump, known for collecting memorabilia and "tchotchkes," may have kept the folders as souvenirs rather than for their contents. The discussion suggests that Trump's habits as an archivist and collector might explain the presence of the official-looking stationery in his office.

donald trump· classified folders· mar-a-lago· fbi search· memorabilia

43:08 Oh really? He has a bunch of folders that are marked classified, this and that classified. And they were empty! What was in those folders?! You know... As someone who's a collector... Archivist An archivist and and Trump seems to have some of these elements although he's also a he's a she's a tchotchke collector now his office is piles and piles of shit. Yeah, he's got piles of stuff So he's not the neat freak you are for example But he is so many but he's like he can't shake hands He's got you know that touching problem really? so

43:44 If I saw, you know say I was in the way where i'm leaving the White House and some and they're taking top secret documents They're putting them away. And then they leave the odd They leave the folders these cool looking folders that say Top Secret and this and that are very official-looking I'd take the folders Yeah And so I'm thinking that's the folders they just took folders. It's a folder Happy birthday, darling look what I got for you. There's a card inside it's Inconceivable to these news analysts that anyone would do that but believe me I'm telling you I would and I believe you this is no dispute This is acute folded. This is dynamite looking photo. I could use these

44:29 And I, you know... the folder itself just says top secret. I would grab them just for you because i know how happy it would make me. Yes of course! You got me those buttons? Buttons yes. The buttons. It'll take me a year but I'll send them off eventually Yeah I figure out get him some day. You know the love is there brother yeah sure now let's look at some legal aspects because you know there's a lot of punditry going on Sarah Azari, I think she's a lawyer who used to...I think she used to be welcome on CNN but now shifted over to MSNBC Ari Melbourne. So there is always lots of rap lyrics being quoted but here is her analysis

Media Supercut of The Walls Are Closing In

A montage of news clips from 2016 to 2022 demonstrates the repetitive use of the phrase "the walls are closing in" by media pundits regarding Donald Trump. Despite years of predictions that Trump would be indicted or forced to resign due to various investigations, he remained in office through his full term. The segment highlights the cyclical nature of these media narratives and their impact on public perception.

donald trump· media bias· supercut· russia investigation· resignation

49:00 Oh man, there's so... do you know how many super cuts we have? This is what I think you're talking about. Why do you think these attacks are becoming so much more frequent now It's not surprising that Donald Trump is increasing his attacks. The walls are closing in on him. Feels like the walls are closing in on the White House, it feels as if the walls are closing in here I think the walls of justice are closing in on President Trump Increasingly desperate feeling like the walls were closing in The president clearly feels all the walls closing in on him In terms of the Russia investigation The walls are closing in

49:40 I think at this point the walls are spinning. It does feel like the walls are closing in but i think that the administration, at this point can start to see the walls closing in He feels the walls closing in on him everybody he talks to says the walls are closing in This is another potential wall closing in This president is feeling the walls are closing in The walls mean while closing in on the president of the United States. I think he's feeling a rush investigation, i think he's feeling the wheels...the walls closing in on him. He knows that the walls are closing in The walls may be closing in higher up at the White House The President apparently believes that the walls are closing in on him The Walls are closing it on the President right now Donald Trump feels the wall is closing in Feeling like the walls are closing around him? Yes Does this seem like the walls could be closing in

50:25 this president. In terms of the Mueller investigation, the walls are closing in. The walls are closing in I do feel that he feels the walls closing in on him Legal walls are closing in on Donald Trump tonight From a democratic perspective this is the president who feels like the walls are closing in As he feels the walls are closing in Any indication that legally speaking the walls are closing in on the President Feels some of the walls closing in on him Here's that the walls are closing in on President Trump The walls are closing it in on the President

51:08 I wonder if by playing this it jolts people into remembering, oh yeah how insane that was or do they slip into the beta state and go yes walls are closing. Walls are closing in! That was a series of clips from 2016 and 2017 when everybody if you remember the fact that won bets against the old Lib Joes that used to talk to me? Oh I think probably kept taking their money This was a period you have to remember. That's not the way to deal with your friends John, don't take their money all the time duh! This was the period if you recall where Trump and all the Lib Joe's were convinced of this was going to resign. Oh yeah oh yeah he is going to resign the presidency because the walls were closing in on him

51:58 Do we he was going to resign this was a big trend. I mean, this is it This insanity has not ended since 2015 When he got the nomination that's when it began and it just not ceased what was this? Was this exactly right on that isn't guidance It's never been litigated. I don't know wait. No There's a lot of different resigned clips we have A lot of people say, oh here Will resigned. He is breaking laws every day, he's making money in Mar-a-Lago, he has copyrights in China... Oh Diane Feinstein here? The Dakota Pipeline... No I don't know what that is Anyway yes just insanity Insanity and they keep doing it over and over again and everyone plays along You can't watch this stuff leave that to professionals like John and myself Yeah we could watch it and then laugh yeah

Lindsey Vonn Endorses Quviviq Insomnia Medication

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn is the spokesperson for Quviviq, a new FDA-approved insomnia medication for adults. The drug targets "overactive wake signals" in the brain to help patients fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. However, the advertisement lists numerous severe side effects, including sleep-walking, sleep-driving, hallucinations, and temporary inability to move or talk while waking up.

lindsey vonn· quviviq· insomnia· fda· side effects

52:54 I mean, yeah it's kind of like being on the Titanic in a weird way. But it doesn't matter because we have a new drug that I'm seeing advertised by some big names that I think is going to help everybody with the November midterms and the 2024 election. In fact this is even endorsed by the very famous very talented Lindsey Vonn remember Lindsey Vonn? The name brings a bell. I'm trying to get... Olympic and world champions. She's on the skier, yeah she is. Yeah so after she gave up skiing, retired did you retire? Did she blow out her knee a couple times? I think she got injured or she couldn't compete and yes she would have kept skiing as long as she could well you know there was one thing... She was a maniac skier! Yeah yeah Yes she was kind of reckless didn't you have a brother too like another maniac skier?

53:46 So after she gave up professional skiing, you know something really odd happened to her. She could not sleep She could not sleep have you ever had insomnia? Have I ever had insomnia? Yes, or if you can't sleep. A couple times a year I can't really get to sleep so I just get up and do some work until I get tired and go back to bed That's exactly what I do except that I take advantage of it the way I see it! I do some work then I take an edible then I go back to sleep but it doesn't matter The edibles last too long end up waking up stoned. I don't like that at all Oh we loved it when you did that one day

54:23 Then was this. There was a- Oh that's bullcrap, it was not true! OH there was a Sunday and you said... Hey uh I did- You said exactly that, you said I don't like it, It lasts too long. YOU SAID EXACTLY THAT!! You didn't edible the night before and still bothered ya. Doesn't matter, I-I-It's okay Well whatever the case is I DON'T LIKE WAKING UP STONED No, I know. I know. I gotcha. It's a lifestyle choice. So Lindsey Vonn... she doesn't like waking up stoned but i think this new medication, Quivivic? I think it's even better than that! I'm Lindsay Vonn, and ever since I retired from skiing. I've had trouble falling asleep and staying asleep You know insomnia before he found Qvivic an FDA approved in some of your medication for adults you would not believe the things I used to think about when I couldn't sleep Hey Lance, I need you to sign this business contract all 114 pages It's workout time hey big man we're in the middle of something here yeah, it's called physical fitness

55:25 Just a couple dozen more questions, Lindsay. Don't forget to pack your phone charger for tomorrow morning's flight! It's plugged in right over there. Insomnia can impact both my days and my nights. That's why I take Qvivic Nightly Q-Vivic can help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer. And more sleep at night may mean feeling less tired during the day! Q-Vivic works differently than medication you may have taken in the past Now get ready for what this stuff also does... Q-Vivic is thought to target one of the biological causes of insomnia, overactive wake signals Do not take Q-Vivic if you have narcolepsy. Don't drink alcohol while taking Q-Vivic or drive or operate heavy machinery until you feel fully alerted. Q-Vivic may cause temporary inability to move, talk, or hallucinations while falling asleep or waking up. Q-Vivic may cause sleepiness during the day. Q-Vivic may lead to doing activities while not fully awake that you don't remember the next day like walking driving and making or eating food. Losing depression including suicidal thoughts may occur Most common side effects are headaches and sleepiness It's Q-Vivic! Ask your doctor if it is right for you

56:25 This sounds like the same as the old stuff that was so dangerous only a maniac would take it. Oh, um... Chantix? Or Shantics? Well, Shantics was the smoking cessation drug which drove people crazy You're thinking about Haldol No, I was not thinking about health. Heldahl wasn't for sleep disorders it was her psychosis That's what Bon Jovi's doctor gave us on the plane back from Russia and we were pretty tripped out We slept! For two weeks! Yeah, that doesn't sound good Anyway that just sounds sad Oh yeah, I've got contracts and oh I need a pill And you know...I might be doing things during the day that I don't know i'm doing Like walking or eating

European Energy Crisis and Russian Gas Price Caps

Europe faces a severe energy crisis as Russia's Gazprom indefinitely suspended gas deliveries through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, citing technical issues. In response, G7 nations and EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are proposing a price cap on Russian oil and gas to limit the Kremlin's war revenue. Critics argue these measures are futile and may lead to energy rationing and blackouts across the continent this winter.

europe· gazprom· nord stream 1· ursula von der leyen· energy prices

57:11 Oh yes, everybody's beautiful. Beautiful! All right let's move over to Europe because things are bad in Europe we actually have a boots on the ground regarding energy prices report and also just everything that's happening it's very disturbing just a couple of before you even play this Euro news report we've got stores turning off lights in Rome due to 500% increase in power bills, life in blackout Britain experts warn of energy rationing this winter. Families could be asked to ration their wind energy when the wind isn't blowing to avoid blackouts and these are not... I mean I don't know how bad it is but here's Jiro News kind of the official

58:07 the spokeshold outlet of the EU. It could be a dark cold winter as Russian energy giant Gazprom cuts a major gas supply route to Europe, the Nord Stream 1 pipeline was due to reopen after three days of maintenance work however the company says that taps will remain off due to a technical issue As the bloc scrambles to reduce its dependency on Russian energy, the Group of Seven have pledged to impose a price cap on Russian oil in a bid to limit the Kremlin's war chest. Germany's finance minister says this means that marine insurance for Russian oil experts can continue to be provided But on the condition that Russian oil and oil products are purchased below a certain price. So we want to limit Russia's revenues and reduce the economic damage for our societies." Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says Brussels must introduce its own measures as Moscow assault in Ukraine continues. She says, I firmly believe it is now time for a price cap on Russian pipeline gas to Europe

59:04 These are short-term measures. And of course we'll talk about medium term changing the structure of the electricity market, that is decoupling gas prices from general electricity price as Europe prepares for a possible total shutdown and while soaring inflation and skyrocketing energy prices continue to squeeze consumers in rich and poor countries alike The French government says it hopes to avoid forced blackouts this winter. Paris has called for European solidarity including gas and electricity contracts with Berlin and Madrid So, they're trying to do this cap on Russian dirty Russian fossil fuels which seems futile. Russia has shut down the Nord Stream. Nord Stream 2 is I don't think ever even opened properly. Nord Stream 1 was closing down for maintenance. They were at 20 or 30 percent capacity of what they used to give so a lot of it may be replaced already by other sources which appears to be you know

1:00:01 China and other countries buying it from Russia, and then selling it back to the EU. Yeah making a profit as a middleman great idea I'd do it totally smart But you heard something in there about Queen Ursula saying well we have to disconnect the electricity markets from that energy And or something like that and we have a note from producer Olaf Well yes was also something in there but cutting off your wind power too There was some... it was confusing, that clip. If I have wind power and I have to support it or something? I couldn't follow it. I don't think she said that. Somebody said something about wind power! That was me. No, during the clip. Oh. Hmm

1:00:50 That's okay. Well, let's just the beginning of the beginning may give it may tell us something It could be a dark cold winter as well. Yeah, blah blah hyper the North Stream one pipeline was due to reopen after three days maintenance work However for the company says that taps will remain off due to a technical issue As the bloc scrambles to reduce its dependency on Russian energy, the Group of Seven have pledged to impose a price cap on Russian oil in a bid to limit the Kremlin's war chest. Germany's finance minister says this means that marine insurance for Russian oil experts can continue to be provided. Okay so they will continue to provide insurance for the ships. This is, I think that's part of the price cap like if you don't do the price cap then we're not going to insure your ship so you can sail around the world and do you think Putin will give a crap about that?

1:01:37 But on the condition that Russian oil and oil products are purchased below a certain price. So we want to limit Russia's revenues and reduce the economic damage for our societies In what world do these people think that'll actually work? The guy, I mean he is already burning gas! He doesn't care about the oil but... Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says Brussels must introduce its own measures as Moscow's assault on Ukraine continues. She says I firmly believe that it is now time for a price cap on Russian pipeline gas to Europe These are short-term measures. But of course we'll talk about medium term changing the structure of the electricity market, that is decoupling gas prices from the general electricity price. Decoupling gas prices from the general electricity price? You know what that sounds like? No! That sounds like nationalizing

CHAPTER 21 / 47 Discussion

Nationalization of European Energy Markets

The structure of the Dutch energy market, which relies on monthly advances and fixed-rate contracts, is under significant strain due to skyrocketing prices. Analysts predict that many energy companies in the UK and Europe may go bankrupt, forcing governments to nationalize the markets. Sweden has already begun offering energy guarantees to firms to prevent a total collapse following the Nord Stream shutdown.

netherlands· energy market· nationalization· fixed rate contracts· subsidies

1:02:31 Oh yeah, that's what it sounds like. And this is what Olaf says as well he says you may remember how the energy market in Europe's crime... He's in the Netherlands In the crime capital of the Netherlands is structured I will give you a refresher Actually I never witnessed this because this all happened after I left And this may be the same in many European countries. Here we pay a monthly advance, the advance is based on your historical use of your address at year's end the balance is made up and either you get money back or you have to pay extra A lot of people find it annoying to pay a large extra sum at years' end so they all choose to pay little higher monthly advance a lot of people will be getting hundreds of euros back and all that the same time now

1:03:10 add the following into the mix. Up until last year, the energy companies were offering fixed rate contracts ranging from one year up to three years. The price of these contracts have been calculated by smart economists at that time but they were structured in a way that the company had no-to-only minimal risk. The price for these fixed contracts was simply higher than the flexible rates and since nearly all Dutch people get these contracts through brokers who offer some nice incentives, no Dutch person ever saw the flexible rates So in fact they were giving away incentives up to 360 euros. Basically that's several months for free, so we just switch providers this swapping of green energy here green energy there it happened all the time so what's going to happen according to Olof is that these energy companies mainly foreign-owned same in the UK will go broke and then the market will be nationalized at least temporarily but we know how that goes and I think

1:04:05 That's probably a good prediction. Sweden has already offered energy guarantees to energy firms after the Nord Stream shutdown, so there is already a subsidy going out and once that happens... oh man! That can't be good can it? Well the taxpayers will pick up the slack so it won't be as noticeable Meanwhile Boris Johnson he has a very simple way to lower your energy bill this year If you have an old kettle that takes ages to boil, it may cost you 20 pounds to replace it. But if you get a new one, you'll save 10 pounds every year on your electricity bill. Buying what? Electric tea kettles that they use there? You need to buy a new one because your old ones... The new ones aren't any different than the old ones! I just bought a new one. They're all made in China. Where did you buy them?

CHAPTER 22 / 47 Discussion

Boris Johnson Kettle Advice and California Heat Wave

Outgoing UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson suggested that citizens could save £10 a year on energy bills by replacing old electric kettles with newer models. Meanwhile, in Northern California, residents are facing requests to reduce power usage between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. during a predicted heat wave.

1:05:09 That's a molar or something. It's got some German name, but it's made in China They're all exactly the same they sell them at Costco they sell them all over the place and they're all the same They all break I haven't had one for more than a few years before the element either blew up Or the thing wouldn't turn off which is really a problem And their junk and this full of shit um i would like to counter that i have had a breville uh water kettle for All going on eight years, the same one. And Tina even used it to kill a cricket with when she slammed the bottom of this thing onto the cricket and I had like bend some pieces back but it worked again! It's the Breville IQ electric kettle

1:05:57 I don't know. Breville's an Australian company, I'm sure it is still made in China but maybe not. But Breville is a very high end and high quality product that thing is not cheap. The ones I am talking about are 20 bucks. Yeah, no this was much more than twenty bucks but look I've had it for seven years and you have to buy a whole bunch of new ones. Not a whole bunch mine lasts about three or four years You said two years! I'm exaggerating a little bit. But they still fall apart no matter what Now have you gotten word yet from your officials there in Northern California to or they've asked you to start shutting things down between 4 and 9 p.m.? No? Well, I'll tell you something else that's funny watching this we're supposed to have this huge monstrous heat wave Yes Yeah isn't it In our area Are you dead yet

1:06:52 Well, it's about 65 out right now. So that's your heat wave so they started predicting this last week before the Thursday show that we're gonna have is going to be 110 on Sunday and if actually they predicted was gonna be over there first gonna be Friday then was me Saturday and they push into Sunday which is today supposed to be this boiler and then well it's off the low pressure, and then they moved it again so now it's Tuesday. And they're thinking maybe is going to go to Thursday. Oh man! These guys are predicting global warming? This is the way they do with this? Climate not weather John only when we say it is only when its hot than climate as weather So there just gonna get hot in probably on the other side of the hills but I don't think around here is gonna be hot at all. I mean might get 80. Whoa no

John Podesta Appointed as Biden Climate Advisor

John Podesta, a veteran of the Clinton and Obama administrations, has been appointed as a senior advisor to President Biden to oversee $370 billion in climate spending from the Inflation Reduction Act. Podesta will manage the distribution of tax credits and incentives for wind, solar, and electric vehicle industries. His return to a prominent government role marks a significant "uncloaking" of former Obama administration officials within the current White House.

john podesta· joe biden· climate change· inflation reduction act· clean energy

1:07:41 I don't have any climate change clips, but this little nugget which went unobserved. What's-her-face is out Gina from Boston as the Climate Czar remember she was wasn't she Health and Human Services and then Gina McCarthy? No no she was the EPA woman! I'm sorry she was EPA and then she became the the climate change advisor to Biden So she left, guess who is now in charge of the Obama, oops. Who's in charge of the Biden Clean Energy Innovation Strategy which includes $370 billion dollars in investments from the Inflation Reduction Act? You will never guess who has been tapped

1:08:38 and accepted as far as I know, as the senior advisor. And it's not John Kerry? Nope! No... It's a blast from the past We're going back to... we're going back to... 2009 no uh... no we're going back to 2015 2015-2016 a real devil who kind of disappeared. Here's the uncloking, here's the... think about it Who was coming on the scene in 2015 2016 besides Trump? Who is uncloaking now from the Obama team? Who is it? $370 billion dollars in climate change funds Well you've got me cornered okay I give John Podesta

1:09:25 Yep, John Podesta the guy who is notorious for liking kids. Yep. Yeah That's the one it was that which the Abramovich a branch the you know not know though I'm talking about to do witch dinners the Yes, that was Maria abramovic with Yeah, they had these devil dinners or something. Some Satanist thing that they would do... I forget what it was called. They'd drink blood at the table? Spirit cooking! Thank you trolls. Spirit cooking and we had the whole pizza gate thing and his emails were hacked This is a great guy Let's read from The Wall Street Journal

1:10:05 As a senior advisor to Mr. Biden on clean energy innovation, Mr. Podesta will shape how the government disperses billions of dollars in tax credits and incentives to industries that are developing wind and solar energy as well as to consumers who want to install solar panels heat and cool their homes with electric heat pumps or buy electric vehicles Oh I see how it goes In addition to his time in the Obama administration, Mr. Podesta now 73 served as chief of staff to President Bill Clinton was chairman of Hillary Clinton's unsuccessful campaign for president in 2016 he founded the Center for American Progress

1:10:42 and is now chairman of its board. From that perch, Mr. Podesta has informally been advising the Biden administration pushing the White House to act more aggressively on climate change. So what does he know about... Is he a climatologist this guy? Is he some sort of an expert, a PhD in physics or anything? If you cross him you may disappear Well, he's probably the right guy to put in there because this sounds like a corrupt program and you need old pros Yeah people that know what they're doing what they're doing on how to do it know the lay of the land Know how to do it. No how to do it And you end up with some sort of money being stuffed into people's pockets Some sort yes some kind yeah I got an interesting email from one of our producers JR

Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity and Wi-Fi Health Concerns

A discussion on Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS) explores claims that Wi-Fi frequencies and 5G can cause irregular heartbeats, fatigue, and tinnitus. Some research suggests that EMF exposure may negatively impact the gut biome, allowing toxin-releasing bacteria to dominate and slow down human metabolism. This theory posits that "Wi-Fi gluttony" could be a contributing factor to weight gain that is resistant to diet and exercise.

ehs· wifi· electromagnetic hypersensitivity· gut biome· obesity

1:11:34 He said there's a real problem with all this electricity that we're rolling out. And he's getting me more stats, but I know there's a lot of NIH.gov studies and information on EHS, electromagnetic hypersensitivity which i know is a real thing and some people have it with Wi-Fi specifically Yeah In fact... That why I advise people that have some of these issues to go to the in circuit Oh, you mean the power line networking? Which works terrific. I've had pretty good luck with it too to get to the garage for the mining machines has been pretty good

1:12:16 It'll clip out from time to time. My garage is lower with mining machines! It is, man! What are you hopping on me? Hey what are you doing with that computer...what's that computer doing in the closet? That old computer? Oh it's just there I don't know why can use it no man these are s9 these are real ASIC mining machines It's 98 degrees in my garage. I bet it is, well if it ever snows you got to mate. Anyway EHS Now this could be 10%, it could be as high, but 30% of the population who have some effect from particularly Wi-Fi frequencies. It apparently is... Yeah and I by the way think that the surge in tinnitus is partially for me electromagnetic frequency. And certain 5G frequencies

1:13:15 We'll probably come in that area. It's not your typical, not the one that most have rolled out I think some of the old sprint stuff has been converted... Anyway it doesn't matter. Our producer says there are people who cannot sit in an electric vehicle You basically did people get irregular heartbeat fatigue all kinds of stuffing happens. Oh really? Yeah, I never thought of that but yes the electric vehicles are loaded with Electro with electric dust stuff electric dust man yeah That makes sense He says no one is talking about this, but it will become a big problem What does he say here

1:13:58 He says a friend of mine purchased, he has an example. A friend of his purchased a Tesla began to have chronic issues aforementioned heart irregular heart fatigue went to the doctor who told him you have symptoms oh it's lineman disease of course its been around for a long time the lineman or the county who would work on the lines alright they'd be right up there against high frequency power lines yeah yep there ya go its been around a long time this kills birds too occasionally not a great thing Now something else no one is talking about, EMF devices such as Wi-Fi have a negative effect on the gut biome. I was about ready to turn off on this but i kept reading because he says it's well researched and there is some NIH research but I'm not qualified to say if its well researched

1:14:49 What happens certain bacteria start to multiply faster than others, multiply less throwing the balance of the biome completely out of whack. The distinct effect of Wi-Fi frequencies on this balance check this out is that the bacteria that gain dominance release toxins that reduce your metabolism so you will start to gain weight for no reason. You get fat from Wi-Fi! That's right baby! Your wifi gluttony Yeah, he says you will not be able to shed weight even if you control your diet and work out How about that? Well, that was a stretch but okay. I like it! I'm not saying i don't like it...I like it but this is stretching. We can probably sell Curry Dvorak amulets or something No no do you want some biome pills they got this one retula there's one particular lactobacillus that is supposed to be... Yeah, I'm writing down biome pills. I don't even know what biome is What is the biome? I dunno..i like the word

CDC Approves Omicron Targeted COVID-19 Boosters

The CDC has authorized new bivalent COVID-19 boosters from Pfizer and Moderna designed to target the BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron sub-variants. These shots are being rolled out to pharmacies and health centers across the U.S., with the government purchasing 170 million doses. Health officials noted that the new formulations were primarily tested on mice, as human clinical trial data was not yet available at the time of the rollout.

cdc· omicron· pfizer· moderna· bivalent booster

1:15:55 But we're selling them. We're selling y'all some Biome and Ivermectin in a blister pack It's a winner, John! It's a winner Did you see the report that came out about some 80,000 people were studied and ivermectin did turn out to be a benefit to people who got COVID? Oh yeah it's even back on the CDC website. Now it says under investigation but... It has been under investigation for two years but now they've got this data and everybody all All the gloaters are out there, oh you know I told you so. And then they're getting kicked off of things left and right because of being... Don't gloat people! Alright let's do a couple of mandates and booster clips here since i have a few just so we can get up to speed because we have a new approval

1:16:43 The CDC has approved updated COVID boosters. That means shots could be available as soon as this weekend, the newly designed vaccines take aim at the most common Omicron strains which now cause nearly all COVID infections. The government has bought 170 million doses which will be available for free to anyone 12 and older. Get out of this for-free business! I'm a little tired of this... Why don't the insurance companies start ponying up a little bit? Let them get screwed Of course it'll screw us indirectly but still I'm a little tired of it. No one on the FDA advisory board wanted to approve it, It's only been tested on mice which of course I have clips for them to explain this and why is it free again?

1:17:31 Isn't this at this point voluntary? Well they did make the point that they're going to run out of money for this. Oh no, that's why Biden asked for $47 billion for Ukraine and other things but only 13 is going into Ukraine and the rest is going into COVID which is going directly into the pharma. So he needs it for his buddies at Pfizer. Totally! Let's go to ABC on this. Tonight those new Omicron targeted boosters starting to roll out got my COVID vaccine in my left arm and I got my flu vaccine in my right arm so I'm all set for the fall. A few thousand locations across the country are offering the retooled Pfizer and Moderna shots designed to take on the BA4 and BA5 sub-variants, The supply is set to ramp up at tens of thousands of pharmacies community health centers and doctors offices in the coming weeks

1:18:20 The new booster is the only authorized booster now that will be available. So anyone that had an appointment for that old booster will be rescheduled." The new Pfizer booster is cleared for anyone over 12 and Moderna's for anyone over 18, two months out from their last shot. There's no magic number when it comes to thinking about the spacing for the next booster. Two months is minimum and it's especially important for those at high risk to make sure they get that protection ahead of any possible fall surge Pay no attention to anything working, I mean just plowin' ahead like nothing happened and it's all great and you need your protection.

Dr. Fauci Warns of Severe Flu Season

Dr. Anthony Fauci warned of a potentially severe upcoming flu season and recommended that citizens receive both their flu shot and COVID-19 booster by October. At UC Berkeley, a new policy requires students who do not receive a flu vaccine to wear masks in all classes. Critics argue that these mandates are becoming a "uniform of the obedient" for the Democratic party rather than a strictly medical necessity.

dr. fauci· flu vaccine· uc berkeley· mask mandate· public health

1:18:57 And you know what's so funny is the two-month thing that they're promoting. You just got a shot two months ago and now you gotta get another one because this shot sucks? Oh but you're gonna have to get another one because, after a disappearance for not 1 but 2 years flu is back! Arielle joins us now and Arielle health officials are warning we may also be facing a tough flu season ahead That's right, Mary. Dr Fauci warning that we could be bracing ourselves for a pretty bad flu season He says the best time to get your flu vaccine is by the end of October But it's never too late and just like last year Officials say that it is safe to get your COVID-19 vaccine and your flu shot at the same time Mary Ariel Thank you Same time baby Yeah Just get ready for cuz I'll be in one magical shot pretty soon The Bayou look so local news story has it and I didn't clip it

1:19:49 University of California Berkeley if you don't get your flu shot because now you have to document your flu shot yeah if you don't get your flu shot you have to wear a mask and all classes. Oh man really? Now I'm looking at this saying wait a minute, Cal...I went there There were flu all for all the years I was going there They had the flu was in and out and they had swine flu And they had all these other things you never had to wear a mask then what changed? What do you have to wear a mask now, all of a sudden it became me. It became the uniform of Democrat party form of the obedient Oh man You said that so beautifully when write that down not for show title But just from my still on for sure title no for myself uniform of the obedient

Atlantic Writer Discusses Vaccine Testing and Cooking Analogies

Catherine Wu of The Atlantic discussed the lack of human data for the new COVID-19 boosters, comparing the ingredient substitution to "subbing in shortening for butter" in a recipe. While acknowledging the "tricky" nature of approving vaccines based on animal data, she expressed confidence in their safety based on previous iterations. The discussion highlights the shift away from using specific efficacy percentages as a primary selling point for the new shots.

catherine wu· the atlantic· vaccine efficacy· myocarditis· omicron

1:20:42 I totally nailed that. A local story from your neck of the woods, KCRW they discussed in some great detail...I chopped this down to under two...some great detail these this new booster and how it was tested or not and how you should look at it and no surprise from this NPR product that You know, just don't worry about it. Everything's be okay you know it's all fine the guest who is speaking is Catherine Wu and I guess she's a doctor but she is from the Atlantic so I understand that these vaccines have not been tested on humans or there's no human data available right now yes that's right so the human data is coming both Moderna and Pfizer are in the process of either planning or starting those trials but

1:21:35 They're not going to be able to get together data until after the rollout begins. And you know, this is a little different from how we have greenlit COVID vaccines in the past. A little? Just a teeny-weeny difference! But it's not that atypical from other vaccine approval or authorization processes. You know, we just sort of look at what happens in animals but But it is a little tricky. Do you sound confident when you listen to this? It's not much different from the way we do in other vaccines, where we just kind of look at the animals and pet them. Unbelievable! Well it's different from how we have greenlit COVID vaccines in the past but it's not that atypical from other vaccine approval or authorization processes You know, we just sort of look at what happens in animals

1:22:24 But it is a little tricky. I will say that we do have some safety and sort of immune response data from a different version of the vaccines which mixes together the original recipe with ingredients that target the original Omicron variant that hits- Wait, weren't people dying from that one too? You didn't improve myocarditis bit on any of that stuff? Any improvements or just using that data? And that's clean, good to go. It hit us last winter but it's not specifically with this formulation so it's going to be a little tough to say hey get this vaccine because we know that in clinical trials it gave us you know 85-90% efficacy those familiar numbers are not gonna be a leverage point this time around Yeah well that's not what anyone is doing they're just saying Get it! Get your booster You can get it now if you're old enough or young enough Its time for you, you got your ticket, you gotta read books, get it, get the flu shot more more more

1:23:17 No one's talking about efficacy. You need this! No, why bother? Why bother when the public is lining up like lemmings to go in. Listen to her. So listen to what she just said and how this woman addresses what she just said. Vaccine because we know that in clinical trials it gave us 85-90% efficacy those familiar numbers are not going to be a leverage point this time around Yeah, you know these are snow. There's your journalism right there! So she just said look we don't we don't know if it's gonna be effective We can't use any numbers to say it's effective. We looked at the animals everything is good You know so it's gonna be a little more tricky and all this woman has to say is yeah instead of saying

1:24:08 What I would have said in this after listening to that bullcrap, so why would anyone in their right mind take this shot? It just sounds like It sounds like snake oil. It sounds like snake oil. Oh no, it sounds like oil but not snake oil! It's coming up. Five to 90% efficacy those familiar numbers are not going to be a leverage point this time around yeah you know these are still new vaccines relatively speaking but This is sort of an ingredient substitution. You know, if we sort of compare it to baking I know its not exactly identical but you know sort of subbing in shortening for butter... Oh oh oh! I see So this vaccine that you have no tested but the animals looked okay It's sort of like substituting shortening for butter? Oh you mean like when you gave us Crisco which was melted repurposed candles To use as shortening?!

1:25:07 This is an admission of epic proportions here. It's like Crisco! You know, the stuff that... you know we couldn't sell the candles so we turned it into shortening. Substitution if we sort of compare it to baking I know its not exactly identical but you know sorta subbing in shortening for butter. It may slightly change the effects here but were not dealing with a completely new vaccine So, you know I am not a vaccinologist like Dr. Offutt is but the many many many other experts i've spoken to... She's almost done. So, you know I am not a vaccinologist like Dr. Offit is but the many many many other experts that i've spoken to have said they don't have concerns about the safety or efficacy here. They are quite confident that this vaccine is going to be very safe as all other iterations of COVID vaccines have been and that this is likely to offer an improvement in terms of generating a better immune response against Omicron sub-variants

1:26:07 than the original recipe, which is kind of hitting the point of diminishing returns at this point. There's a lot of cooking references here! Recipe... Shortening... That's probably all she can do if she can even do that Maybe does she do the cooking column at The Atlantic? I have no idea why she is here Ms Wu Yeah exactly what's the point She doesn't know anything She's not a vaccinologist as she put it and her analogies are corny And what's the point Why are we talking to her Probably friends. She's not an expert? Probably friends. But she's talked, take it back she's talked to many many many Many many other experts Very distinctive way of putting it I really liked the way Canada's health or I should say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Health Minister discussed the boosters the new boosters he is much more to-the-point this guy Various vaccine protection is like a phone battery

CHAPTER 28 / 47 Discussion

Justin Trudeau Health Minister Uses Phone Battery Analogy

Canada's Health Minister, Jean-Yves Duclos, compared vaccine protection to a phone battery that needs to be recharged every six months. He emphasized that staying "caught up" with vaccinations is a top priority for both children and adults to maintain protection against COVID-19. Critics mocked the analogy, noting that unlike a phone battery which is charged daily, the vaccine schedule is being normalized as a recurring semi-annual requirement.

canada· justin trudeau· jean-yves duclos· vaccine protection· phone battery

1:27:06 It's like a phone battery. I'm sorry, just translate for it. Vaccine protection is like a phone battery. It needs to be recharged from time to time. Recharging our protection after six months is important otherwise we are left without the power to protect ourselves and our loved ones getting everyone caught up with vaccination is top priority This is not only true for COVID-19 vaccinations, but also for routine vaccinations for all children and adults. Merci! Thank you! Miigwetch!" How dumb are these people? He's the health minister. Oh that guy... But how stupid can you be to say oh here's an analogy for you it's a phone battery except ours magically only needs charging every six months so think of it as a phone which everyone knows you charge every night

1:28:04 These people are stupid. No, I think that was smart they're getting people used to getting a vaccine daily and with that i'd like to thank you for your courage and say in the morning to the man who put the c in the charged up vaccines ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end mr john In the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry, in the morning all ships and sea boots of the ground feed in the air subs into water And all the dames and knights out there.

I didn't realize. Yeah it was mentioned we didn't talk about it you're right but it was mentioned otherwise I would have put the kibosh on it well yeah It was a really good piece We kept coming back to it because it was a lively piece it was colorful it's pretty it was very charming cool elements he's got the little jokes and there the whole thing it was dynamite what were the jokes he had in there

1:32:39 Tastes great probably non-toxic It's love to eat it. Yeah, but what was cool is that people have no idea what the show is or even listen to the show They see that on Twitter they go there I have a laugh like this is spot on whatever it is It wasn't one of those we had a lot of wonder We have a lot of a lot of Gorby chips yes Oh Of course I should mention that This is for episode 1482 which we titled Gorby chips and I realized I made it would you have spelled Gorby with an eye or a why? Why okay because I saw some people talking about Gorby with an eye And there were a lot of Gorby chips here different Gorby chips none of which you like did the art column Gorby Yeah, you didn't like many of the Gorby chips. No I didn't I didn't think they were

1:33:33 One thing I don't it was it was a ridiculing my my flub so I've took offense Really took as always do. I always take offense at my flubs Why would you do that? Because people are mocking mocking me unfairly Unfair the reason we're laughing no, you're inventing fabulous things show titles art You've inspired art and then you feel that your being not your being You're being you were my dog. You're being lifted high I'll tell you why he didn't like the gore because it did does the art was not interesting It was a gorby thing as of yet compared to the drop go piece now there wasn't anything close I did like the Parker Pauly Doritos with the MK ultra kind of twisty thing and like that was kinda cute, too

1:34:21 But yeah, you're right but compared to the chalk that was so big and it was also big. Yeah it was big! It was big and by... So you can chalk one up for a dropcode.

DOT Airline Dashboard and Labor Day Flight Cancellations

The Department of Transportation launched a new dashboard to track airline commitments regarding meals and hotels for delayed passengers. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre claimed the initiative has already led to improved service plans from major carriers. However, reports indicate that thousands of flights were still canceled or delayed over the Labor Day weekend, casting doubt on the immediate effectiveness of the dashboard.

1:43:59 So she has a couple of clips to that are interesting one of them is not really something I want to mock It's just something. I think you'd get it click-click click out if there I am mock me people Kick at it, which is the airline dashboard as seems to be up and running Today, the Department of Transportation officially launched the dashboard and we're proud to report that airlines vastly improved their plans. Their plans? Graphic right behind me. We love graphics here as you know. Before the secretary's letter there were significantly more red X's across this table

1:44:35 None of the airlines had guaranteed that they would cover meals or hotels when they are at fault. Now, eight of the top airlines cover hotels and nine of them cover meals before Secretary Buttigieg's letter only one airline guaranteed they would rebook you at no cost now 9 out of 10 do so Yeah, so the headline that I see this morning is US Airlines cancel and delay thousands of Labor Day weekend flights. So it seems like that's really working out well... What is that all about?

Stolen Plane Incident in Tupelo Mississippi

Corey Patterson, a 29-year-old aircraft maintenance employee, stole a Beechcraft King Air C90 and threatened to crash it into a Walmart in Tupelo, Mississippi. After circling the area for five hours and posting a goodbye message on Facebook, Patterson eventually landed the twin-engine plane in a field and was taken into custody. Investigators are looking into his motives and how he managed to operate the complex aircraft without formal flight training.

1:45:14 You know this... They're starting to suck man. It's totally blows is what it is There's another aviation story and then we'll get back to your Jean-Pierre Yeah, I only got a couple yeah this bugs me this story the reporting is minimal I can't find much on the pilot forums No one really knows a lot But I'd like to just give some color to this to this story that happened in two Today, terror in Tupelo Mississippi. A plane police say was stolen circled over homes and businesses in the small city. Authorities say the man at the controls, Corey Patterson said he intended to crash into a Walmart that forced an evacuation in the area

1:45:59 Shamaria Robinson got a panicked call from her mother who lives just minutes away from the targeted shopping center. Just so close to her home, so close that I mean it was crazy investigators say Patterson was employed by an aircraft maintenance company at Tupelo's regional airport and took off in the twin engine aircraft when air traffic controllers were not on duty. The pilot posted on Facebook a message And in essence, it said goodbye. After about five hours of the air Patterson landed in a field roughly 40 miles north of Tupelo uninjured. The suspect is now in custody he will get the help he needs as far as whatever he's dealing with

1:46:43 You know, here's my... So this is a 29 year old who has been working at the airport for 10 years and then he steals an aircraft. A King Air C90 which is now he had no formal flight training but it had only been around awhile you know I've flown as a King Air C90 with an instructor. You can't just hop in that without quite some experience It's turbine engines, its turbo prop So you gotta know how to fire those up, two of them. Two engines... You have to really be trained on two engines. Now his landing he basically belly flopped in the field so I was like if that guy landed this CC90 with no training but this whole thing sounds weird just doesn't it sounds something and then we're not getting the information why was he targeting Walmart? Why was at the end why does want to kill himself by crashing into a Walmart

Karine Jean-Pierre Verbal Gaffes and Operation Enduring Freedom

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made several verbal errors during recent briefings, including mispronouncing "authoritatively" while discussing a UN report on Xinjiang. She also mistakenly referred to "Operation Enduring Freedom" as "Operation Endearing Freedom" while discussing the relocation of Afghan allies. These slips have contributed to ongoing criticism regarding her communication style and preparation.

1:47:40 Yeah, of all places. Is there is Walmart? Here's what I went looking for is this particular Walmart the scene of some abuse There's got to be something with this guy.

1:50:09 Maybe it means, maybe she's got good feelings or something but listen to this one. We have an update on the enduring freedom that the Operation Allies welcome what it looks like long term This is an update that the Department of Defense announced recently. And so, look our commitment to our Afghan allies is endearing. What? We have a... Did she mean enduring but it came out as endearing? Yeah! She's falling apart. She's falling apart at the seams Jim this was a gem and she didn't correct herself she just kept we are It you get to miss short play it again because I was beautiful like to me, it's like she had endearing on her mind Enduring she said in daring yes that was probably micro dosing psilocybin.

1:51:11 And to our Afghan allies is endearing. We have a lot of hair a little bit further back and so look, our commitment to our Afghan allies is endearing. We have welcomed nearly 90,000 Afghans through our country over the past year and have been providing relocation assistance over the past year as well. Yeah operation endearing freedom that's it That was George W Bush the operation endearing freedom beautiful Oh, I love it how the someone in the troll room says it's enduring man.

Bed Bath & Beyond CFO Death and Meme Stock Volatility

Gustavo Arnal, the CFO of Bed Bath & Beyond, died after falling from a skyscraper in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood. The incident occurred as the company faced financial turmoil and its stock price experienced extreme volatility driven by Reddit-based "meme stock" investors. Arnal had recently been named in a class-action lawsuit alleging a "pump and dump" scheme involving investor Ryan Cohen.

1:52:09 I wonder what's going on there. Oh, this is one of those ape stonk stocks? Yeah you know it was a stonk and they jacked it way up and then... And then it crashed! Well of course it always will. That's what these things do. This is what people don't know we're talking about. We're talking about these guys have Reddit groups that take a worthless or fairly worthless company or company in bankruptcy- That is heavily shorted. And they run the price up to burn the short guys because somebody just hates short sellers, I guess. Once you get the short sale or the squeeze then you just make money. You make money. Right? The stock skyrockets because everyone has to get out of the short because you can go broke with a short if you're not careful and it's infinite losses so you have to get out and so you get out and jacks the price way up

1:53:03 And then some companies like GameStop, who had this happen to them. They at least played their cards right and were getting loans from other companies they were doing what they're supposed to do when your stock's worth a lot of money I don't know what... This doesn't make any sense to me unless this guy was there is some corruption in there that he well trying to get it Let's see Bed Bath & Beyond Investor Ryan Cohen exited position when the stock was 28, sending the shares plunging in the days following. The company announced plans to try and reduce costs and stave off bankruptcy with a bankruptcy including a $500 million financing agreement in order to help pay its vendors."

Water Crises in Jackson Mississippi and Las Vegas New Mexico

Major water crises have struck Jackson, Mississippi, and Las Vegas, New Mexico, due to infrastructure failure and environmental contamination. In Jackson, the main water treatment plant failed after years of neglect, leaving thousands without clean water and requiring National Guard intervention. In New Mexico, wildfire debris contaminated the local water supply with carbon, making it potentially carcinogenic when treated with chlorine.

1:54:44 So we have all this stuff going on, going down I should say in Europe with the prices and what they projected more a six out of ten British businesses will have to shutter because of energy prices. Yeah i forgot who said that that's somebody's idea. Well the prices are pretty high yeah that's for sure but we got lots of cool stuff going on over here We have a water crisis in Las Vegas and New Mexico because I guess what happened is there was a lot of It was a big fire. What are you drinking today? Oh Evian mind If you mean every Indian, maybe oh, maybe oh, you know, maybe on mine Are you drinking your videos are you drinking everyone with your crudités?

1:55:31 No, it's just and it's got magnesium and zinc raspberry and ginseng. Oh It's a natural mineral enhanced drink now I'll tell you this I bought a bunch of it because it was on sale Yeah gross out. It tastes like shit Tell me right now If it, that's like the vaccine. If it hurts you know what's working? I mean, it really does not taste good as bile Oh okay we'll enjoy that Thank you That's pretty much of the way the water tastes in Las Vegas New Mexico so they had a wildfire 340 thousand acres but because some of the carbon got into their water supply It reacts with the chlorine that they use to treat the water

1:56:18 And that can become... This happens in a certain way. Yes, I've heard this phenomenon and it becomes carcinogenic That's what the articles you guess well What does if you heard this what happens then? It makes the water undrinkable Exactly because when and or carcinogenic so they have 20 days of fresh water left They're trying to figure out how to fix that Then we have Jackson, Mississippi. I actually didn't play these clips in the last show. I do want to do that because we have a boots on the ground report. President Biden has approved an emergency declaration for Mississippi as residents of the state capital try to find clean water. Thousands of people in Jackson lined up for hours at distribution sites for bottled water with some supplies running out. The mayor says the city's water treatment plant failed after years of neglect staffing shortages and recent flooding

1:57:08 These are challenges that first and foremost are beyond partisan. These are human rights challenges, and so we've been saying that it's not a matter of if our systems would fail but when our systems fail And we've seen it far too frequently He says it may cost billions of dollars to fix the water treatment system he's vowing to organize more water distribution events in the coming days Water distribution events also known as WDE There's a second kicker to this, I guess. Hundreds of National Guard troops will be in Mississippi and we'll be handing out bottled water today to the people Jackson suffering without clean water so far there is no timetable for when the long neglected water treatment plant will be up and running again The governor says a rental pump could be functional later today which is only one step toward alleviating the problem

1:57:56 Yeah, so boots on the ground from one of our producers. This goes back to Hurricane Katrina 2005 that's when the water treatment facility needed the full overhaul they never did that then in 2020 they outsourced I can just see whoever did this! They outsourced it and that failed and uh... And now its like oh they need to fix it but they have no time and their water is undrinkable now Yeah, I suppose even with boiling like you guys have to do every so often. Not anymore! We're out here now we got our own well we don't boil water That's the way it goes But the boiling is not even going to work with that water I guess it's that fucked up It's crazy Crazy Go ahead? I've got some clips from my last show I wanted to bring forward about all of war stuff going on

Global War Games and Military Exercises

Russia and China commenced the "Vostok 2022" joint military exercises in Russia's Far East, involving troops from India, Belarus, and Tajikistan. Simultaneously, the U.S. and South Korea resumed their largest joint field exercises in years, featuring live-fire drills near the North Korean border. These maneuvers come amid heightened global tensions and increased military spending by nations like Japan, which is developing new long-range missiles.

1:58:55 Like everyone's getting ready for some sort of war. And these are the clips that you have to look them up, they're called War Games and I got... let's start with the War Games 1 Russia China Chinese troops have arrived in the Primorsky region of... Let me guess, Niu Tang Dynasty? Yeah, of course. Nailed it! Chinese troops have arrived in the Primorsky region of Russia's Far East There a joint multinational military exercise is set to begin Video footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry shows the opening ceremony of the drills named Vostok 2022 The exercises are scheduled to begin September 1st and will last one week Along with Russia and China India Belarus and Tajikistan are among the countries taking part in the war games

1:59:41 Earlier this month, China's defense ministry said its participation was part of an ongoing annual agreement with Russia. Relations between Beijing and Moscow have grown closer in recent years. Last summer the two countries held a joint exercise with over 10 thousand troops in north central China In October their navies held drills in the Sea of Japan Only days later Russian and Chinese warships sailed to the western Pacific where they held their first joint patrols Okay, that's not good. Let's go to War Games 2! This is continuing elsewhere... The US and South Korea have resumed their largest joint field exercises in years That's after the downsizing of previous drills due to diplomatic efforts and COVID-19 restrictions The exercises began less than 20 miles from the fortified border with North Korea On the field was live fire from American and Korean howitzers tanks machine guns and mortars Apache helicopters were also involved

2:00:39 The two allies see the drills as a key part of deterring North Korea and its growing nuclear arsenal. But, North Korea has condemned the drills as rehearsal for war. Colonel Brandon Anderson is the deputy commander for the exercises. He said that the drills are not aimed at any one adversary but did allude to the threat from North Korea. Currently there are more than 28 thousand US troops stationed in South Korea Oh, okay. Well this continues! Now we got war games Japan... Hold on did I see that John Stewart hosted the Department of Defense War Games at like or ceremony at Disney or something? It wouldn't surprise me

Former President Barack Obama won a Creative Arts Emmy for narrating the Netflix documentary series "Our Great National Parks." Meanwhile, the Biden administration requested an additional $13.7 billion in military aid for Ukraine, bringing the total proposed emergency funding to over $47 billion. This funding request also includes billions for COVID-19 and monkeypox responses, drawing criticism over the scale of ongoing emergency spending.

2:01:25 I don't know anything about that, but it wouldn't surprise me. I have to look into this and sounds terrible Yeah, very bad bad was there Emmys last night? Did we miss the Emmys? But I think they're maybe some daytime enemies or nominations. Oh, okay They were usually on Sunday. It would be today.

He read a book Hold on great no he know for narrating Emmy win for narrating Netflix documentary Let me see which documentary was this oh they had to give him something okay? Oh our great national parks

2:02:09 Terrific. Okay, why do you get an Emmy for that? Because no one watches it No one cares It's embarrassing their whole higher ground production series is an embarrassment Michelle Obama's podcast embarrassment the podcast with Obama and Springsteen super embarrassing a kind of cringy And so they had to give him something because they want him there war games Japan Hold on second. Let me see War Games. I don't have this clip I'm sorry, I spelled war W-A-T. Oh what games? Well just a bunch of... Japan is increasing its defense budget and building missiles that they previously didn't allow themselves It's part of the military expansion to counter threats from China and Russia Japan says it will develop in mass produce a cruise missile and high velocity ballistic missile They'll be able to strike at greater distances beyond the current range limit in Japan's constitution

2:03:08 The Defense Ministry didn't specify the exact range of the weapons or say how many they plan to make, but if deployed along the Okinawa island chain in the southwest of Japan... ...the weapons would have enough range to reach targets in mainland China. This month China fired five ballistic missiles into waters less than 100 miles from Japan prompting alarm about China's regional ambitions I gotta presume all those guys also have their version of military-industrial complex. Isn't this just fireworks for dipshits? Maybe, maybe... You know they're just shooting shit off. At some point you arm yourself to the teeth and you got a... Unless you have someplace like Ukraine to ship the stuff too and then go well we got rid of that stuff. You know Ukraine is now the largest weapons sales country

2:04:02 Closely behind Afghanistan. Yeah, give me a yeah great it's crazy Thank you. Thank you think the American taxpayer well no American taxpayers to be ignored just what we were talking about earlier Overseas tonight to the war in Ukraine The White House now asking Congress for more than 13 billion dollars in additional military aid But again that's not really that he's asking for 47 years President Biden asking Congress to provide more than $47 billion in emergency dollars that will go toward the war in Ukraine. That's 13, so there is what? What do we have left 34? The response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Hello Pfizer! The ongoing monkeypox outbreak. What?!

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant Safety and External Power Needs

Experts discuss the critical need for external electricity at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in Ukraine to maintain reactor cooling systems even when shut down. A retired Navy nuclear commander explains that commercial reactors require power for circulation pumps and instrumentation to prevent a meltdown. The plant has been a focal point of the conflict, with both Russian and Ukrainian forces trading accusations over shelling near the facility.

zaporizhzhia· nuclear power plant· russia· ukraine· external power

2:04:55 What? And help for the recent natural disasters in Kentucky and other states. You could add Mississippi in there! Aren't we already budgeted for this sort of thing, these disasters, FEMA? I mean don't we already have that in the budget, the ridiculous budget isn't that already budgeted in, we need more money for this?! No no so either he's... We probably have the money for everything except for the Ukraine stuff Which is just it seems like seems like 15 20 billion every single month It's a side of control got a lot of feedback from from our producers about the About the reactor that the Russians are currently. Oh, yeah right does you ever hear from atomic rod? No I think he's checked out. I think he's man overboard. Well it could be I think his man overboard um

2:05:51 So a lot of people, first of all you do need electricity with your nuclear plant. If it just gets cut off it's a problem I still don't kind of get...I understand why you need electricity but if the plant is producing electricity Yeah you think you'd route it back? It can't just like unplug it You know, once you got it fired up but everyone says oh no you're crazy. I love this one though Sir Robert of the Smoky Mountain Brass also a retired Navy nuke commander so atomic rod as far as i'm concerned He's been dishonorably discharged for insubordination. We got a new guy on the block, Sir Robert of the Smoky Mountain Brass. If the reactor shuts down either by default or planned external power either commercial or from big diesel generators are needed to maintain control of the reactor even in a shutdown state and start it up pressurizer heater circulation pumps instrumentation true for commercial or naval reactors this is why

2:06:54 Submarines have huge shore power cables when they shut down. Also why nuclear submarines have a big diesel generator and a pretty big battery, which is kind of what I'd expect a nuclear power plant to have—a pretty big battery or diesel generator. Now this guy's been around. He was commander Commander. What do you have here? The USS Flying Fish, USS Houston, the USS Simon Bolivar, the Blue Crew... He's the subs in the water guy now! He's a Mac Daddy hey remember it's not gay if you're underway it's cool with us welcome to this show I learned this from all the submariners that's that's the first thing I learned. These Navy guys

Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend the ceremony, though he did pay his respects privately beforehand. Gorbachev is remembered in the West for his role in ending the Cold War and for his famous 1997 Pizza Hut commercial, which symbolized the opening of the Russian economy.

2:07:37 And just while we are, our question has kind of been answered about Gorbachev and the funeral. Today a final farewell for the last leader of the Soviet Union. The funeral for Mikhail Gorbachev was held at Moscow's Hall of Columns. He died this week at age 91. Gorbachev did not receive state honors and Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend saying that he was working. I love the inflection she gives us there at the end, almost saying he was working. Putin did not attend saying that he was working. Working! That bastard! Well, Putin did show his respects. He came by and dropped off some flowers before their funeral so... He's a good guy. Not complete loss but it is same thing it was like now this guy's not

2:08:28 That day I think it was the Roundtable Pizza, whatever the pizza company he was involved with. Probably closed the deal. The Roundtable Pizza? He did a great commercial run in this country and maybe in Europe I think he introduced one of the pizza companies into Russia.

Moscow Yandex Hack and Corporate Diversity Lawsuits

A hacker targeted the Yandex taxi service in Moscow, ordering all available vehicles to a single location and causing a massive traffic jam. In the U.S., corporations like Amazon and American Express are facing lawsuits over diversity-focused hiring bonuses and quotas. Additionally, Bank of America is experimenting with no-down-payment mortgages for specific minority communities, drawing comparisons to the policies that preceded the 2008 housing crisis.

2:38:15 Hmm, okay still burns. Oh, I'm kind of missing the beginning of that one. Yeah it was bad Okay Well here's the one that I liked the most I think it's something that makes nothing but sense to me in the show with this call What is that Some some Iraqi screaming and uh in the streets yeah, I Think you couldn't I think it can work But then I'd like to enhance If I can just to make it... With some guns fire? Yeah, that was kind of my idea. Let's see how we do this. Like that? I like it! It's not all aggressive or creepy or anything like that. That's pretty good We've succeeded once again Oh man a couple of things before we go what else did we have here um oh I love this why can't this happen in America

2:39:16 In, I guess kind of the Moscow or maybe even Russian. No this is Chinese and Yandex isn't that a Chinese company like the Chinese Uber? Or is that Russia? Yandex. Yeah, I think it's some... I don't know if it's... yeah! I think it is. I'm gonna have to do a mea culpa but I think it's the Chinese company. But they are running in Moscow and someone apparently hacked into the system and ordered every single available vehicle to one spot in Moscow. The pictures are hilarious This is I would love for this to happen. I mean it sucks for the people who are driving uber But what a great hack yeah, send everybody to the same address at the same time good It's funny. It's just it's just a hint people just a hint let me see I think our codes probably better than Maybe I don't know maybe maybe not What else did I have oh? Yeah

I think we mentioned American Express was getting sued for putting quotas on how many white people could be hired Amazon is now facing a lawsuit over $10,000 hiring bonus made exclusively to black Latinx and Native American entrepreneurs These are all lawsuits waiting to happen This ESG thing is a nightmare And Bank of America though is apparently experimenting with no down payment mortgages for black and Latino communities. What could possibly go wrong with that? Oh, nothing! We've never seen anything... That's always worked! We've never seen anything screw up with that. Hmm

2:41:10 Alright Anything else before we leave? No, I just mentioned that the Amazon's taking all their solar panels off state was in the newsletter because they were there were lighting on fire Right. They're just catching on fire spontaneously Spontaneous panel combustion is that what it had it actually has a name spontaneous. Well, I named at that Then let's get out of here All right, good idea.
