About this episode

President Joe Biden incorrectly stated that his son, Beau Biden, died in Iraq during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania for Senate candidate John Fetterman. The verbal lapse occurred as Biden framed the 2022 midterm elections as a referendum on character and economic stability, while high winds at the rally physically toppled a backdrop of American flags. This high-stakes appearance in Scranton highlights the Democratic Party's intense focus on the Pennsylvania Senate race against Mehmet Oz.

Elon Musk initiated massive layoffs at Twitter following his $44 billion acquisition, reducing the workforce by 50 percent to restructure the company's financial future. Musk defended the move to investor Ron Baron, outlining a vision to transform the platform into a global financial institution similar to X.com. Meanwhile, NBC News retracted a report by Miguel Almaguer regarding the hammer attack on Paul Pelosi, citing discrepancies with the official DOJ narrative. In the Netherlands, the government designated David Icke a level 3 terrorist threat, banning him from the Schengen area. Additionally, the CDC softened opioid prescribing guidelines, removing the three-day limit for acute pain despite the ongoing national addiction crisis.

The 1500th episode celebration features 1970s-inspired artwork by Nico Seim and a look back at the 30,000 pieces of art submitted by the No Agenda producer community. Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak explore the history of early networking through Lee Felsenstein’s Community Memory project in Berkeley. The show also highlights the Beef Initiative’s recent tour of a USDA-approved processing plant in Luling, Texas.

Daylight Saving Time, Jet Lag, and Global Time Zones

The transition to standard time in November 2022 prompts a discussion on the physical effects of the one-hour clock shift. China is noted for utilizing a single major time zone and adjusting school start times rather than shifting clocks to accommodate daylight. A scientific proposal is jokingly suggested to adjust the Earth's tilt to eliminate the need for seasonal time changes.

00:00 It's an elder abuse on your part. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak. It's November 6th 2022 this is your award-winning Gibbon Nation media assassination episode 1501! This is no agenda Jet lagged again and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas Hill Country here in FEMA region number six In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where we're all wondering why why Adam is jet lagged I'm John C. Dvorak. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning... Well of course, I'm jet-lagged is what happens twice a year when the elites decide to mess with me. Oh this is what Mimi complains about Now how am I supposed to take this? Are you now calling me a girl? Yeah. I thought so. Just wanted to make sure. I'm a whiny girl

00:51 Do you know that in China... It's one hour. If you fell asleep at the computer and you conked out for a while, would you be jet-lagged then because you would lose track of time? No! I remember even traveling between the UK and the mainland on the continent it would have been worse than a six hour time difference with New York weirdly Not exhibited any signs of jet lag in all your travels for the 15 years I've done this show with you yet They turn the clocks back an hour giving you one extra hour of sleep Maybe you're not jet-lagged, but your dough. You're kind of drowsy dopey yeah exactly The problem I'm dopey well and I learned that in I think in China they have one time zone and

01:43 Or at least in like there's three time zones that they do one, I think. There is just one major one yeah? Yeah and what they do instead of changing the clock they just start the day later The kids go to school an hour later so they're not going to school in the dark Oh That was one way doing it! I think thats a outstanding way of doing it So then all the parents need to be later so we just start you know An hour later It's well known that... I think we need a scientific fix for this. Oh, pfff okay! Yeah We need to set up some sort of an energy component and knock the earth into its right tilt so we don't have this issue at all ever Well that is the primary issue Solve kilter Maybe we can use that dart technology we tried on the asteroid

CHAPTER 02 / 50 Discussion

PBS Report on Daylight Saving Time and Heart Attack Data

PBS features advocate Scott Yates, who campaigns against the biannual clock change due to its negative economic and health impacts. Data suggests a spike in heart attacks occurs on the Monday following the "spring forward" change in states that observe daylight saving time, a trend not seen in Arizona or Hawaii. The report highlights growing American dissatisfaction with the current federal time-shifting mandate.

pbs· scott yates· arizona· hawaii· heart attacks· standard time

02:39 You know, crash that thing into the earth somewhere and jolt it a little bit. See if we can get the wobble back to where it's supposed to be. Anyway this year We have a novel excuse for things that happen because of the daylight saving time And PBS was very clear, it was their top issue as it comes to the clock change. Like almost all of us in the country Scott Yates is about to set his clocks back one hour As we do every fall when the nation falls back to standard time But Yates like a growing number of Americans Is sick of it

03:16 You know, if somebody snuck into your house and changed your alarm clock so it went off an hour earlier than your body was expecting you would be so mad. Absolutely! And yet the government doesn't... Every year we're also sleep deprived We don't really know how to respond In every state except Arizona and Hawaii clocks spring forward in early March To start daylight saving time and fall back in early November to begin standard time A few years ago, Yates' wife said stop complaining about it and do something. What do you think of this human interest report they're doing on PBS? I found this fascinating that this is how they'd approach it this year but there's a reason So we started a blog compiling various studies and reports about why we change our clocks what the economic impacts are even some pretty striking evidence that this back-and-forth switching can harm people's health

04:08 You can compare what's the heart attack data on the Monday after a spring forward time change in places that do have the change and then places that don't have to change like Arizona. And they don't have a spike in heart attacks on that Monday morning after, in Arizona and they do everywhere else so it becomes really pretty clear evidence I can't wait! I can't wait to see how many heart attacks we have due to daylight saving time this year. They're top issue Not, you know people feeling jet-lagged not economics. No no no heart attacks We got the data and speaking of trying to what do you think they have a heart attack because they They look at the clock and they see the wrong time I don't know And it frightens them when they drop dead well yes Just like you know when you hear the referee whistle y'all they also drop deads the same people

Alcohol Consumption and Stroke Risks in Young Adults

A study published in the journal Neurology, utilizing the Korean National Health Database, links moderate to heavy alcohol consumption in individuals in their 20s and 30s to an increased risk of stroke. The timing of the study's release is questioned in relation to broader public health trends. Skepticism is expressed regarding whether such reports are used to mask other underlying causes of cardiovascular issues in young populations.

05:04 I don't know what their commonality is, but it's the same people who drop dead when the right whistle goes. So you're without saying it... You're actually suggesting that they're gonna use this as one more excuse for all these unkind of inexplicable heart attacks due to the COVID vaccine, which is what's really going on here. That's what you're suggesting? Yes because when I see...I mean the most recent one that came out in USA Today a couple days ago is literally drinking alcohol may increase the risk of having a stroke and your 20s and 30s study finds okay gee

05:45 Mean since when is drinking your time correlated so we have a look of ten years ago What's going on or is it just suddenly just started now? Let's see researchers use the Korean National Health Database to study one and a half million people in their 20s and 30s asked them about their alcohol consumption over the course Of six years according to the study published Wednesday in neurology The Medical Journal of the American Academy of Neurology So there you go. So I don't know, they just...I mean there's all kinds of good stuff. Groovy! Oh and hey the watch is on again John? Uhh..I'd like to know 14 seconds you tell me is it going or not? NASA's Artemis 1 moon rocket is on the move starting its slow rollout from an assembly building at Kennedy Space Center to the launch pad overnight. NASA says after many setbacks it's confident Artemis will be ready for takeoff November 14th. November 14th?! What do ya think? Will they make it?

NASA Artemis 1 Moon Rocket Launch Preparations

NASA begins the slow rollout of the Artemis 1 moon rocket from the Vehicle Assembly Building to the launch pad at Kennedy Space Center. Officials express confidence in a November 14, 2022, launch date following previous technical setbacks. The ten-day lead time for the rollout is characterized as a marketing and public relations strategy to build anticipation for the mission.

06:44 What's wrong with tomorrow? It takes that long to roll the damn thing to the launch pad apparently. It was on a launch pad for awhile and then they rolled it off and they could roll it back, why don't you do it tomorrow? Doesn't take months to roll it on! The 14th...that's a ways away. That's 10 days. Takes ten days to move the rocket?! Well, they gotta do the PR get everybody all jacked up They got to have interviews I think it's purely marketing reasons maybe three days at most for getting it ready And then another You know another is seven eight another week to get the PR ramps up. Sometimes things don't work out as is the case with this C-SPAN call in fails Oh Straight to it Here we go all right Scott in Effingham, I guess we lost Scott so

C-SPAN Technical Failures and Chinese Space Debris

C-SPAN experiences a series of technical difficulties during a call-in segment, leading to dropped lines from viewers in Texas and Pennsylvania. Separately, news reports highlight the re-entry of Chinese space debris, initially described in terrifying terms despite the statistical probability of being struck by such debris being roughly six in ten trillion. The odds are compared unfavorably to winning the Powerball lottery.

08:59 by debris are minuscule, about six in ten trillion. So they start off with terrifying and end the report... What kind of a report is this? And end the report was six in what was it two three trillion? More than the population of Earth times 10! I mean your chances of you winning the Powerball are greater much greater no much greater much greater Yeah, that's what we have to do. I do like the chunk of Chinese space junk! Kinda like that it felt nasty. You know what i mean? Okay um...I have a couple things I think we should go through before we get too what appears to be a mini

Paul Pelosi now recuperating at home after being released from the hospital, this as lawyers for the suspect David Dupap and state prosecutors appeared in court today. What is clear is that he was targeting the speaker that he did not find her in her home instead he found her- Yeah but this is the prosecutor so that's why they put it in the report you see. Prosecutors appeared in court today

11:19 What is clear is that he was targeting the speaker, that he did not find her in her home. Instead, he found her husband. And by the way, that's how the justice system works in concert with the media whether it's intentional or not she knows exactly what she saying this lawyer and she wants that to be the sound bite That he didn't find her in her home instead he found her husband and that he enacted violence on her husband According to the San Francisco DA's office The defendant startled Mr Pelosi awake soon asking where's Nancy? Where's Fancy? DePapp allegedly threatened to tie up Mr. Pelosi about 10 times over the course of their encounter, at one point saying that it was the end of the road for Mr. Pelosi. Pelosi able to grab his phone in the bathroom and call 911. Authorities say when San Francisco police arrived they witnessed a pap striking Mr. Pelosi in the head at full force with the hammer which knocked Mr. Pelosi unconscious

12:10 Pelosi remaining unresponsive for about three minutes waking up in a pool of his own blood. DePappe allegedly saying he was on a suicide mission and was planning to target- So when you hit him in the head, and the police were there do they just let him lay in a pool of his own blood? Is that what they do is that the procedure That's the official San Francisco police procedure. Okay, wait let him wake up in his pool of blood don't worry don't touch him let him wake up oh there he is waking up now how much time has gone by Bill? About an hour okay he's up he's up and about okay

The DA stressing today that everything remains on the table meanwhile David DePapp has pleaded not guilty to all charges See this is the part I don't get He has these huge confessions and lists of people he was going to target and says yeah but I'm not guilty How does this work? I haven't, by the way, seen that testimony or an affidavit with anything to that kind. There is none

14:15 That's not that I know of nothing that has been published this whole narrative will change completely after the elections Well, that's what I'm thinking like oh You know the trial is not until a month from now or the preliminary So it's done they've gotten out of it as much as they can and then they can't do anymore. Yes I agree yeah, of course They had the big scandal with Alma gear on NBC you have clips of that Alma gear who? Oh, you didn't know about this? No. I have no idea what you're talking about. Well then I'm an idiot for not clipping it but I can explain it. Yeah please NBC...I think was last Thursday or could've been Friday. Sorry! I have a life unfortunately don't get everything. Everyone was talking about it yeah so I mean they played a report with Elmagear on the street there in San Francisco talking about how the police went to the door and

15:07 and Pelosi opened the door, and as soon as Pelosi saw the police he went back toward the guy to Pepe. And then all hell broke loose so that part of the report in the entire report was actually expunged from the NBC News website I have it! Okay now what you're talking about? I have the actual expunge news clip So that's Elmagear. Would you like to hear the expunged news clip? I'd love to hear the...I've heard it, but i'll hear it again.

NBC News Retraction of Miguel Almaguer Report

NBC News retracted a report by correspondent Miguel Almaguer that suggested Paul Pelosi did not immediately declare an emergency when police arrived at his residence. The report claimed Pelosi walked back toward the assailant rather than seeking immediate police protection. The discrepancy between this report and the official DOJ narrative has led to increased scrutiny of the incident's transparency.

14:15 That's not that I know of nothing that has been published this whole narrative will change completely after the elections Well, that's what I'm thinking like oh You know the trial is not until a month from now or the preliminary So it's done they've gotten out of it as much as they can and then they can't do anymore.

I have the actual expunge news clip So that's Elmagear. Would you like to hear the expunged news clip? I'd love to hear the...I've heard it, but i'll hear it again. Craig good morning when officers arrived here at the Pelosi home exactly a week ago today they initially didn't have any idea exactly what was going on they knew they had a high priority call on their hand what was unclear what was happening inside the property just behind me

16:00 This morning Paul Pelosi is home back at the house that became a crime scene a week ago today NBC News learning new details about the moments police arrived Sources familiar with what unfolded in the I love this reporter by the way He has just a little tinge of kind like semi gay excitement at the end of each sentence as something He has a very distinctive presentation. Elmagear, who's that? And Jeff Pagais are both the most distinctive reporters on the cruise. I found this producer emailed me...I feel really bad now Apparently Jeff Pagais suffers from the same disease that Robert Kennedy Jr has. I didn't know that! I thought he just really had some constipation issues. Hey, I just thought it was his voice. I didn't know if it was illness or something

16:51 I feel bad. You're a bad person Thank you, i feel bad At the moment... And your always doing that, your always doing the take in pinch and a love sound when he's trying to talk Well i didn't know, i just shoot... He's shameful, he's shameful, i knew all along Oh well you should have informed me No, and we know why you didn't. Thanks! NBC News learning new details about the moments police arrived Sources familiar with what unfolded in the Pelosi residence now revealing when officers responded to the high-priority call they were seemingly unaware They've been called to the home of the Speaker of the House Stop it right there Yeah, it was like a wellness call or something. Well there was that element but the fact that they're trying to convince us that the San Francisco Police Department to a man... Hey Bob! Let's go check out the Pelosi mansion! ...doesn't know who lives in that house? Who do you think lives here? Probably some rich guy

17:47 They all know exactly who lives there. They know where Danielle Steele lives, they know where Pelosi lives...they know where everybody lives if they're even remotely famous because if you're a cop it's good to know and it's just like ridiculous to assume that they don't know and that's what they keep trying to convince us of. They knew but let's continue. No? I'm trying to figure out why of all the famous people in that area, in San Francisco you chose Danielle Steel. Well, it's the only one that she's the only one that has this unbelievable mansion in pretty much the same area Okay, and she got a huge monstrous place. Yeah and Everybody I know where it is I mean if everybody knows was I didn't know where Pelosi's place was but but I can I'm just assuming That the cops knew and I'd be stunned if they didn't and then you'll still this sorry yeah There's other people I could mention, but I'm not sure they live there anymore

18:47 Responded to the high priority call they were seemingly unaware They've been called to the home of the speaker of the house after a knock and announced. The front door was opened by mr Pelosi, the 82 year old did not immediately declare an emergency or tried to leave his home But instead began walking several feet back into the foyer toward the assailant and away from police So I hope we get to see that part on the body cam footage they want to show us in a month from now, but not really. This may be what he's describing maybe the reason they won't release the body cam footage although you just heard him say that they were thinking of showing it in the preliminary so maybe they have

19:29 Maybe the body cam footage shows something different from this report. That's also possible, we have to keep it in mind. Both are possible. We have to keep that in mind. It is unclear if the 82-year old was already injured or what his mental state was say sources according to court documents I like that instead of sources say say Sources! 82 year old was already injured or what his mental state was say sources according to court documents when the officer asked what was going on defendant smiled and said everything's good but instantaneously a struggle ensued as police clearly saw David DePap strike

20:09 Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer. After tackling the suspect, officers rushed to Mr. Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood." Oh there it is again! A pool of blood! Pool of his own blood so they had that early on. Clearly saw David DePapp strike Paul Pelosi in the head with a hammer after tackling the suspect officers rushed to mr. Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood what we do not Blood I'm sorry this guy's accent is great who was lying in a pool of blood Pelosi who was lying in a pool of blood what we do know is he brutally attacked Mr. Pelosi and attempted to kill him after spending several days in the ICU Pelosi, who is recovering from a fractured skull and serious injuries to his arm

21:01 in hand is now home where Capitol Police remain on alert. Investigators have previously said Pelosi did not know Dapp when the 42-year old broke into his home why Pelosi didn't try to flee or tell responding officers he was in distress and is unclear. Fear takes over, fear freezes people this morning the 82 year old lucky to be alive after an intruder nearly killed him in his own home law enforcement tell law enforcement officials tell us the bottom line here is this was a terrifying situation we still don't know exactly

CHAPTER 08 / 50 Discussion

Political Weaponization of the Pelosi Incident

The lack of medical transparency regarding Paul Pelosi's skull fracture is contrasted with the high-profile media coverage leading up to the 2022 midterm elections. The incident is characterized as a potential "October Surprise" that may be losing momentum. Meanwhile, the Pennsylvania Senate race between John Fetterman and Mehmet Oz remains a primary focus of national political attention.

midterm elections· october surprise· john fetterman· pennsylvania· x-rays

21:38 what unfolded between Mr. Pelosi and the suspect for the 30 minutes they were alone inside that house before police arrived officials who are investigating this matter would not go into further details about these new details Craig back to you one thing's for sure though he is lucky to be alive Miguel Amalgar for us Miguel thank you it was something else interesting they didn't want to go into details about these new details you know because of the details It was very interesting. This hasn't been, you know completely weaponized by the media because if someone really got his head bashed in that I hate that. That sucks He is home and we all and we really don't have no transparency And it seems to me if you really want to play this up If you think you've got the October surprise on hand first of all You drag this guy in front of the cameras right away into a preliminary

22:43 So that's, you know... so they can't use it for whatever reason. And you have doctors show us x-rays! I want to see the bashed skull X-ray. I want to see how lucky he was and if he is still alive. No, i don't think that's coming because they... You don't think so? No they are... It's falling apart. I'd be stunned if we were going to see a bashed head X-ray or how about this? This what I would do if I was running in their newsroom bashed head x-rays but not Pelosi's just to show an example. Oh yeah, you've seen that right? That would be great! This is very similar to Mr. Pelosi's injury. Yeah they bring a doctor on one of the UCSF doctors who are promoting vaccines bring one of them on

23:25 And having me point things, pointed things on the x-ray. Wearing his white lab coat. Does he have the stethoscope in the breast pocket? You have to have a stethoscope on and you have to have your embroidered name on one side or the other of the lab coat. Yeah we got it down! And we ended by saying luckily Mr. Pelosi was fully vaccinated and boosted, so we're very happy that he's home safely now." That's the way to go! Yeah yeah I don't know why we don't get work... So a couple of things that came out in these local reports was the neighbors some neighbors were finally you know talked to because they're all standing around and one of them said there's never a moment where there's not a cop somewhere in front of that house

24:15 Always oh, I believe that this is the whole thing is but he came in through the back door wink-wink nudge nudge He's his backdoor man said people can't even get to that front door. You know without Getting stopped and this is constant we're having a pass a hall pass or whatever they do probably do something like that Anyway, what a story. What a story it's great I mean this is all mega mega mega magas But I'm sorry that it's petering out you know unless they unless they decide to bring the something forward Then it's over so it's not They can for whatever reason they can't do enough with it if we don't see bashed I think it's done because We don't have enough time for much more of this

24:59 We've got the Federman thing going on. He's got some real problems over there Even though he still leads in the polls which tells you something about Pennsylvania I think you would look really good in a white lab coat and it was some diplomas on the wall in the background Yeah, I could do it You could totally do it used to go from being that the tech grouch to being the The pharma shill. I mean you could totally fire Michelle I can't do the farmer show as a bunch of phony Diplomas. Yeah, a dystethoscope an old-fashioned one you know with the big horn on the one end I think it would be a TikTok sensation You know it's a possibility like something I should think about I'm not kidding! And you give wine tips I mean it's perfect No if I'm gonna be that guy you can't drink wine It's gonna kill ya take a pill

Community Memory and Early Silicon Valley Networking

A discussion of early computer networking highlights "Community Memory," a terminal-based system established in Berkeley by Lee Felsenstein. Predating the modern internet, the system allowed users to post messages and interact via public terminals located in arcades and storefronts. This historical context is compared to later digital communities like The Well and modern social media platforms.

25:54 A girl can dream. Alright, let's hear your Biden stuff man I've been excited about this all morning I'm thinking John's got a Biden Megas collection Just a bunch of dumb clips of Biden. That's all right I'm behind on these clips so i thought i'd catch up all at once Okay this is the catch-up Now there's a couple, im gonna play the long clips one of them is a whole minute Oh it's actually a two parter that's a minute and then 18 seconds but this is So most of these clips came from the big rally in Pennsylvania for Federman and this other guy Did you see the flags?

26:33 Oh, that was different. Yeah, that's different That was not clippable obviously but there for people out there that you can find this on the net Federman goes in front of a big audience. On the net! Hello Homer Hello, the well. You can find it on The Well! I never said The Well... I did. In fact, I never used The Well. I tried to get on it and was like so complicated and they were kind of elitist and I don't know you- Oh they're kinda! He couldn't- he posted something like, you're posting in the wrong place. Kinda

27:09 Wow People look it up. Okay, whole electronic what was this whole earth electronic library? Was that at least the well so well And that actually kind of stemmed from just to go back in law history here There was a thing called community memory Community memory, this is a good one. Yeah this predates everything I don't know about this I don't think yeah look it up community memory It was invented by Lee Felsenstein the guy who also architected the Osborne 1 computer and Lee's still around he's great guy and But he did this thing called community memory And it was kind of like an internet in Berkeley

27:51 that was just in Berkeley mostly, and I think it also extended into parts of Silicon Valley through a network. And it was terminals where you could look stuff up or do...I don't even know what you could do on it but you can say hello to all your friends. And they had one at an arcade up in the...

Joe Biden Campaigning for John Fetterman in Pennsylvania

President Joe Biden campaigns for Senate candidate John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, framing the election as a referendum on character, abortion rights, and the protection of Social Security and Medicare. Biden refers to himself as "Pennsylvania's third senator" due to his roots in Scranton. The appearance included a notable incident where high winds blew over a backdrop of American flags during the rally.

joe biden· john fetterman· pennsylvania· scranton· social security· medicare

29:27 And everybody put it on every if you're on Twitter. You've seen this so Anyway, let's go with Biden on Federman here He is talking about what a great guy Fetterman is and how he should be elected but folks I want to be very clear clear clear and I mean just sincerely about what's on the ballot this year The right to choose is on the ballot Oh your right to vote is out of the battle oh Social Security and Medicare is in the ballot. There's something else on the ballot, character! Character is on the ballot. When I think of character, I think of John Fetterman you know and it's endorsement of him The Philadelphia Inquirer today said John knows what his values are

30:15 Well, my view I've been saying for a long time. What? I'm a Pennsylvania boy born and raised in Scranton and but the longest time Delaware like many other small places did not have didn't have a television station so Philadelphia TV had to cover me the same as they covered all of Pennsylvania senators I was known as Pennsylvania's third senator. My point is, I know Pennsylvania well and John Fetterman IS Pennsylvania! Man... He was the third Senator of Pennsylvania this is fantastic. He just makes it up as he goes along but Pennsylvania should be ashamed of itself for even voting for Fed-Federman should be in the hospital You know what would be a great gaffe for him?

31:00 A great gaffe would be somehow to get him to refer back to the Russia pee tape and for him to talk about it, say I know because that was there. I mean something like that. It was there! Now i'm just trying to be cruel uh you're it's an elder abuse on your part okay so let's go to the best part too short part by non-fetterman John has character integrity And he's going to be a hell of a good senator, United States Senator for Pennsylvania. The other thing is don't worry we're gonna talk about Iran. Courage! Courage is also on the ballot when I think of courage I think of Josh Shapiro this guy... John Shapiro? Wait... Josh Shapiro. The other guy So what else is on the ballot? We have courage democracy the right to vote the right to choose What else? Courage

Biden Claims Regarding Capping Abandoned Mines

During a speech in Western Pennsylvania, President Biden discusses plans to cap abandoned oil and gas wells and mines to create jobs for former miners. The technical feasibility of "capping mines" to produce thousands of high-paying jobs is questioned. The rhetoric is compared to the naming of the Inflation Reduction Act, with critics arguing the economic outcomes may not match the legislative titles.

joe biden· western pennsylvania· abandoned mines· oil and gas wells· inflation reduction act

31:55 Integrity, I don't know. He's rambling but the way he changes subjects to where he did that one there is just like ridiculous and then he says don't worry i'll talk about Iran later yeah he just throws that in he never talked about Iran now I think it might have been something uh someone flashed something like you got to do the iran bit the iran bid yeah no we all do that later maybe meanwhiles in the same group he's gonna tell us this this is Biden on I don't know what this is needs a little discussion. This is Biden on capping mines By the way, no wait wait wait stop capping mines and shutting down coal-powered Power plants Is that what the clip says or the same clip?

32:41 By the way, Josh and John know that we can cap oil and gas price wells in abandoned mines. We can do that in western Pennsylvania. We create thousands of good paying jobs for the same people who dug those mines in the first place! So let me just say, we can cap the oil and gas mines. And that somehow creates good paying jobs for the people who are out of jobs? Let me hear that again. By the way Josh and John know that we could cap oil and gas price wells abandoned mines We can cap oil and gas price wells and capping mines. Let me hear. That we could cap oil and gas price wells abandoned mines

33:24 Oil and gas price wells abandon mines. Holy macaroni! We can do that in Western Pennsylvania, we create thousands of good paying jobs for the same people who dug those mines in the first place. Oh yeah sounds like it How does that work? Sounds completely possible. How does capping a mine or well create anything but just eliminating these possible job sites I mean explain the same way the Inflation Reduction Act didn't reduce inflation? Exactly. You got it, you nailed it! Here's another one he's going this is Biden and or here's where he loses... This is not to say I'm gonna go back to the Pennsylvania speech this a different speech but he's... What? Stop stop stop

Pennsylvania Midterm Election Dynamics and Josh Shapiro

The 2022 midterm campaigning efforts are heavily concentrated in Pennsylvania, featuring appearances by Joe Biden, Barack Obama, and gubernatorial candidate Josh Shapiro. The physical contrast between the candidates on stage is noted, specifically between Shapiro and the much taller John Fetterman. The strategic importance of Pennsylvania to the Democratic Party's national platform is emphasized.

josh shapiro· john fetterman· pennsylvania· michelle obama· gubernatorial race

34:18 Does the entire election, does everything in the US universe to be determined on Tuesday? No I'm sorry. To be voted on Tuesday determined you know with glitches and expected delays much later Is it right, is only down to Pennsylvania? Is there anything else that we care about or is it only this race. This I don't understand all the campaigning is in Pennsylvania and you know they got everyone except Michelle Obama which is floated around elsewhere but not real where Biden and Obama got together with this Josh guy who's a midget and this huge looking guy who looks... You can't do that! Who's Josh the Midget?!

I think he's the governor Josh and and and Josh no, Josh Shapiro Yeah there you must have you to look up midget and you found his name Let me see what the picture is I hit it right away Josh the Midget right away at Shapiro Josh Shapiro org let me see the images funny You gotta see the three of them up on stage. So Josh the midget thinks he's gonna win, but meanwhile you got this other guy, this Federman guy who is a monster! He looks just like the character in Young Frankenstein. He looks like Peter Boyle, The Frankenstein Monster. This is great! And he doesn't smile and goes back and forth... I'm just waiting for him to break out into song putting on The Ritz

Biden Rhetoric on Republican Economic Policies

President Biden delivers a series of warnings regarding the potential consequences of a Republican victory, claiming that caps on prescription drug costs and insulin would be "gone." He also references a 15 percent corporate tax rate, though his delivery of the figures is noted for its lack of clarity. The rhetoric echoes his 2012 "back in chains" comment regarding Wall Street deregulation.

35:56 That's all that is missing. Yeah, it's pretty bad man. Hopefully these MP3s will be discovered centuries from now and people will have a record of this time You know, and they'll say holy cow. That's what they're going to say! Well let's go to this one then... This is the classic, just Biden gone gone gone I think it's just interesting to hear? The $2,000 cap on prescription drugs, gone! The $35 cap in insulin, gone! The tax credit for lower energy costs, gone! 50% corporate tax, gone! Wait do you say that the tax credit is gone?! Play it again

36:44 The tax credit for lower energy costs gone. The tax credit for lower energy cost is gone? Is that like a good thing? I don't know why that's gone, it's kind of surprising but that's what he said. Gone! He just saying everything that you can think of is gone if you vote for the Republican So anything good your wife is gone, your son is gone Oh oh I see... You'll be back in chains And then the very last thing is a corporate tax something or other you can barely understand. Wait, let me just do this old one He's gonna let the big banks once again write their own rules Unchain Wall Street they're gonna put y'all back in chains Yeah, that's the Joe we all like and put y'all back in chains

The 2 top-top cap on prescription drugs GONE What does that mean? That means he's gonna They're pushing through this CAP On prescription drugs But it's GONE right now Well, it's not in play yet so it can't be gone but the idea is that will be gone if you vote Republican. Oh okay! So if you don't vote Republican y'all'll be back in chains? The $2,000 cap on prescription drugs...gone And ya'lllll be back in chains?! The $35 cap on insulin...gone Okay well thats not even there right now. The tax credit for lower energy costs....GONE I get it what else would be gone? 50% carpenter ants..Gone 50% carpenter ants??

Wow poor Joe huh let's play this clip Cole is out No one's building new coal plants because they can't rely on it. Even if they have all the coal guaranteed for the rest of their existence, we're going to be shutting these plants down all across America and having wind and solar. Yeah this is interesting you play this there was a... You know that talk TV in the UK? It's basically a radio station but then I guess they put it on

Fossil Fuel Reliability and the Battery Metal Cartel

A shift in climate change rhetoric now frames fossil fuels as "unreliable" due to geopolitical instability like the war in Ukraine. In response to the green energy transition, Indonesia and Australia are exploring the formation of an OPEC-like cartel for battery metals, specifically nickel. Such a coalition would aim to manipulate prices and control the supply chain for electric vehicle components.

indonesia· australia· opec· nickel· battery metals· fossil fuels

39:14 Some cable or satellite or whatever with microphones in front of everybody and it was a radio show, of course well Trendy there's this one lady who does a morning show I think and she brings in people on on Skype or on zoom And she had one of these what are these climate people on?" She just kept hammering back. But the main theme was fossil fuel is unreliable, see this is what they're going with now it's unreliable... What? Yes and I didn't clip it because-I mean I can find that if you want but I didn't clip because it was so long and I didn't think that the point was made well enough uh oh my goodness! I'll never find it. I'll find it for the next show but

39:57 It was mind-blowing and she just kept on undressing this guy with very basic facts. But the whole thing was, oh no we can see from the war in Ukraine that's economic problems you know the fossil fuel is unreliable and what I love is for the people who actually believe in that which is okay it's fine and you've been programmed that way I wonder how to have this here. There's now a coalition forming around the countries that provide, you know like the nickel and other minerals and I guess rare earth as well and they're just going to be the new OPEC! You know like wow we have all this stuff here but we're not gonna let you in that easily

40:50 And then they're going to try and manipulate the price. In this case, it'll be of batteries and stuff. If anything is unreliable... Here it is. This is from oilprice.com The next OPEC-like cartel could be in battery metals Large nickel producer Indonesia sees merit in the formation of a OPEC like cartel Who else are they talking about coming in? Now it's in the show notes, have a look at. Oh Indonesia and Australia have the largest nickel reserves well Australia will... Australia is totally loaded with stuff but they're our bitch aren't they? They'll just do whatever Klaus tells them to do

Biden on the Affordable Care Act and Medicare Caps

President Biden claims that Republican opposition to the Affordable Care Act would cause millions to lose coverage for pre-existing conditions. He also discusses a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket cap for prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare. The difficulty of interpreting the President's verbal delivery is compared to the communication style of former Congressman Ron Paul.

affordable care act· medicare· pre-existing conditions· prescription drugs· executive order

41:30 But it could be advantageous, could be advantageous for Australia. They could they could be the... Where is all that? Where are those minerals that they're loaded with out near the Aborigines? All over the whole Aborigine land! Alright so we have some good protests coming up get ready Australia! Hooey hooey on the way baby So here's a one let's go with Biden AFA BS In fact, they want to do away with the Affordable Care Act. And that means millions of people with pre-existing conditions lose their insurance completely." You're easily amused by what he said. Okay well I like trying to figure out what the president is actually saying and i think it's a service... You know the funny thing is I've noticed this this is worth noting which is that if you listen to him long enough

42:29 you can kind of figure out what he says. And, you know who else was like this? Ron Paul used to mumble and cut sentences in half and it was horrible listening to him but after a while... I think we discussed that yeah After awhile you could hear it and this one here I could actually hear So do you think that What's happening is the staff who are close to the president, they're so used to translating in their head what he's saying. Kind of like if you wore glasses that project everything upside down within three days and then you see normal again? Yes this is a fact yes I think that's what going on well let's listen With pre-existing conditions lose our insurance

43:08 And I know it's something about losing your insurance because that's at the end. With pre-existing conditions, you'll lose your insurance which is not true by the way You don't lose your insurance, you just don't get covered for the pre existing conditions so he's a liar but besides that That's what he said Pre existing conditions and lose their insurance completely Well isn't exactly what Obama... Completely! Whatever Okay next one stupid Biden You're making me mad now. You actually understand him Well, but that shouldn't make you manage to make it feel sorry for me I think if you get ready you can be that doctor It could be the doctor Reena Abdul Jabbar Jean-Pierre Van Damme will intro you and here to discuss Here to discuss the Pelosi skull fracture Here's another mumble this one hears a tougher when this is the Biden cap mumble

44:04 We put a cap of $2,000 a year in construction and seniors on Medicare. Okay I think i can do this one we put a cap for seniors... $2000 dollars a year in construction... A year in construction... Gov for seniors... $1000 a year in construction gov for seniors on medicare okay two thousand dollars a year from for gov to prostruction construction and seniors per year great Prescriptions for seniors per year. Mm-hmm. We put a cap of $2,000 a year on prescription drugs for seniors on Medicare! Okay we put a cap of two thousand dollars of prescription for prescriptions for seniors so seniors have to pay two thousand dollars out of pocket is what that means but that's a max? Yes and then they don't pay any more it's called the donut hole is it not? It's called an asshole. So

Biden Claims Victory Over Big Pharma

President Biden asserts that his administration has "beaten Big Pharma," a claim met with skepticism regarding the industry's continued influence in Washington. The segment references a viral AI-generated interview between Joe Rogan and Steve Jobs, suggesting a similar digital treatment could be applied to political debates to clarify candidate positions.

big pharma· joe rogan· steve jobs· ai· oval office

45:01 Let's go with Biden beating Big Pharma. This is a good one. Okay, here we go. Spent a lot of money and folks supported a lot of folks well guess what not this year We beat big pharma Hey why don't you know?

No, I haven't seen it It's like AI put this interview together so take pieces of a jobs interview and pieces of the program Yeah, it was doable but I'm sure it wasn't an AI in the long run, it was some creative person Yeah, I think a creative person might have done a better job

45:45 We need a debate between Biden and Fetterman in the same vein. I mean, this is you can truly even mix this from Biden together with the Federman bit. Spent a lot of money and supported a lot of folks. Well guess what? Not this year we beat Big Pharma! We beat big pharma... Big Pharma's in the Oval Office Joe what are you talking about pulling at least one ear strings And then there's this one, it's Biden and Paul. We're almost done. That's okay!

Biden Visit to Syracuse and IBM Investment

President Biden visits Syracuse, New York, to highlight a $100 billion investment by Micron to manufacture semiconductor chips. During his remarks, he struggles to recall the name of IBM's headquarters in Armonk, New York. The President's frequent references to his time in law school at Syracuse University are noted as a recurring theme in his regional speeches.

syracuse· micron· ibm· armonk· semiconductor chips

47:28 Yeah, yeah. Okay let's go... Biden this is one this a longer one this 34 says where he loses his train of thought can't remember what he was doing in New York when he went and he can't remember the name Armonk and so we get that we get this for commentary I was just at Syracuse New York where i wen to law school And the company called Micron is investing $100 billion to manufacture chips, the biggest investment of its kind ever in American history. Hundred billion dollars! That's our money! Before that I was down a little further down in the middle of New York and an outfit called IBM. They're investing these chips for serious... Anyway, I won't go through them all but

48:25 No Okay, so now now we finally understand when he says I won't go through them all that's because he really has forgotten something from 20 to 30 seconds ago That's when he gives it. He gives up what he can't win his memory fails the default is anyway you know or I've taken up too much time or Yeah, he's dead. Yes that's it just said but oh I have a senior moment so be great He wouldn't do that of course Oh, I think he said my con Instead of micron let's have a listen Mike I was just in Syracuse New York where I went to law school Did you go to law school there the guy is amazing? He went to law school every single state and the company called Micron is invested in my car My car

49:14 Oh my god. Armonk, poor Joe. Now we get... Yeah, no Armonk he can't remember that Here's Biden getting applause for vaccinate just I think I don't not sure I can't remember where this clip came from but it's the applause clip One day i was sworn in only two million people have been vaccinated now more than 220 americans are fully vaccinated so we move wow So this is again being able to understand him when there's a nanosecond pause, you have to insert the word million because he's not going to do it. No. So instead we have 240 people who've been vaccinated

Biden Gaffe Regarding Son's Death in Iraq

During a speech discussing global inflation and the war in Ukraine, President Biden incorrectly states that his son, Beau Biden, died in Iraq. Beau Biden actually died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland in 2015, years after his service in Iraq. The error is cited as a significant verbal lapse regarding a deeply personal and well-documented fact.

joe biden· beau biden· iraq· ukraine· inflation

50:01 Please play one more time. I'll hear that again. One day, I was sworn in and only two million people have been vaccinated Now more than 220 Americans are fully vaccinated He does this a lot So we moved! So he moves? What? so he does this a lot This particular gaffe of forgetting the denominator? I would call it a modifier Modifier, sorry And now the last clip i have is the, this is a real good one. This is The Dead Sun Flub clip. Oh yeah man I saw this one Which is a lie and then on it he's trying to dig himself out of the lie and you got it, I jacked up the sound in and out enough so that you can hear what he says here we go And they talk about inflation You know were dealing with it for a couple seconds Inflation is a worldwide problem right now

50:58 because of a war in Iraq and the impact on oil, what Russia's doing. I mean excuse me the war in Ukraine And I think in Iraq because that's where my son died. Because of the United States. This is such an amazing... If Trump, and I know it's a whataboutism but if Roosevelt, if Kennedy, if anyone, any president had done this first wrong country for the theater of war and then say that's because I'm so lost or convinced that my son died in Iraq 25th must be on deck. They've got to cut him loose after this midterm, I don't know what they do something has to happen it's...I mean no! I'm sorry what am i asking for? We need this to continue it's good for the show. It's great for the show but since he mentioned the word inflation

Joy Reid on the Lexicon of Inflation

MSNBC host Joy Reid claims that "inflation" is a word taught to the public by Republicans and journalists rather than being part of the common American lexicon. However, Google Ngram data reveals that the word's usage actually peaked in 1979 and has been a standard economic term for decades. The analysis suggests Reid's commentary is out of touch with historical and current linguistic reality.

joy reid· msnbc· inflation· google ngrams· republicans

51:50 Let's follow up with Joy Reid, and by the way I got two clips here. The longer one that says JPY Reid is the one you want. Okay 38 seconds this is great This is Joy Reid on MSNBC saying that probably the stupidest thing imaginable about the American lexicon and she uses the word lexicon incorrectly this is unbelievable The people I ever hear use the word inflation are journalists and economists, right? So that is not part of the normal lexicon of the way people talk. It's interesting that Republicans are doing something they don't normally do which is not use common tongue or just common English to sort of do on their campaigns like they're doing with crime but what they've done is taught people the word inflation Most people who would have never used it ever in their lives are using now because they've been taught

52:46 including on TV, including in newspapers. They've been taught this word and they sort of wrap this word around whatever it is that they really want to vote. Now I have to think because the only thing that makes sense now she was on location This is not her typical studio show. I think she was freewheeling. I think she was just ad-libbing And this is her true brain at work. Oh, you oh this is very I like this Instead of when she's in the studio She's reading and she does a very good job of prompter reading as a prompt to readership. He's a prompter reader prompter girl He was out into stick. She was this was a remote shot. It was not there was no prompter around There's just a camera out there

53:33 And this is her, this is her being as stupid as she is. I ran an Ngram from Google on the word... An Ngram? Explain what's an Ngram? Oh! An Ngram is a calculation that Google does on its monstrosity of a collection of books that it has digitized from the libraries all over the world and there are plenty of books. You can put a word into the endgram and dash gram viewer. and to Google, and you'll get to the site. You can put any words you want in there. I do this every so often to check on word usage and changes. I've got a good collection of difference between using gender or non-binary words like that when they cropped up which is very recent by the way but inflation I decided... And I posted this on Twitter

54:29 on the No Agenda Social. I may have posted it on Twitter but it moved over and the end gram for inflation shows that the word peaked, peaked in huge popularity and has been declining ever since 1979 So there's not a new word in the lexicon. It's a word that has been fading, but if you're a complete idiot that is out of touch with reality like she is you'd think this was some word the Republicans invented last week No! Not the case at all In fact it's not even trending up in this... well might be trending up these engrams end 2019 so might be bouncing back up

Historical Usage of the Name Adam Curry

An investigation into the name "Adam Curry" using Google Ngram Viewer shows unexpected peaks in literature during the 1860s and 1880s. A modern "hockey stick" curve in the name's popularity began in 1983, coinciding with the host's career at MTV, and peaked in 1996. A secondary surge is noted around 2007, corresponding with the rise of the podcasting medium.

google ngrams· adam curry· mtv· podcasting· 19th century

55:13 This engram viewer is very interesting. Before I came on the scene in 1987 Adam Curry's the peak of Adam curry boy. We stop so the first thing you do yes when you open You better believe it I wanted to see 1884 is when I was last popular but then in 1884 Yes, 1884 and then before that it was 1861 and the previous peak was 1872 into literature John when I was mad at him curry a bit Adam curry? Yes When I was mentioned in the literature as

55:51 Or the name was mentioned. It could be a novel, it could be a lot of things... Yet your family goes way back so that makes nothing but sense. No and so then in 1983 which is correct that's when my hockey stick curve starts it catapults at 89 which of course as you know now I'm on MTV that that's in sync with MTV I go up to Peak in 1996 which is three times as higher as my ancestors, but then after you kick their ass After 1996 I drop I drop into at 2000, i'm over. As far as Google's Ngrams concerned, I'm dead water. Dead in the water. Has been? It has been and over with a comeback but the comeback starts around 2002-2003 peaks like crazy in 2007 podcasting of course you know this is when

56:50 My father. Yeah, that's when the serial I guess was no that wasn't that soon? No, yeah, I guess a pod show then then I drop like in like an Olympic ski jump Attraction yeah, you stop with the metaphors I'm down and they're the last they have me to 2018 and I am below my 2000 trough so I had a V. I had a V recovery couple ups-and-downs followed by a severe depression actually a depression Wow And by the way, I know it's a simile when you say that would where you put it together time because people are always listening You said metaphor when it meant simile

57:32 So, well that's fascinating. Again it ends in 2019. 2018 Oh 2018 is on your zone? Yeah No books since then they've all been burned by Republicans. Republicans Alright so I have Well i'm glad you fascinated yourself and enlightened us thank you very much Hey, I know quality by the way. They also also a reflection of the number of books and articles written More recently than there one was back in 1860 yeah Yeah So you probably are you know those people back in the day or? obviously famous too I just find my

Biden on the SmartLess Podcast and Internet Regulation

President Biden appeared on the SmartLess podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett to discuss the lack of "editors" on the internet. Biden suggests that social media users should be required to provide their real names and addresses via executive order to change the tone of online discourse. He also explores the possibility of the FCC implementing a rating system to distinguish opinion from fact.

smartless· jason bateman· sean hayes· twitter· executive order· fcc

58:17 My fall from grace. Very disturbing. Alright, so I have a couple of Biden clips which... You needed a publicist! Right? Yeah that's exactly what I need. A publicist. Are you familiar with the Smart List podcast? No, I am not. Very popular podcast with actor Jason Bateman actors Jason Bateman of course you know Jason Bateman often confused with Justin Bateman which it does not exist because his sister is Justine Bateman Sean Hayes of course you know Sean yeah I have heard this I take it back I have heard this podcast and a bunch of celebrities

58:57 So those three and I would say... They're always trying to one-up each other, unlike our show. No we're always backing each other up John! We're there to catch the other guy. Exactly You fall backward with faith you know i'm gonna be there to catch ya And I would say even across the political spectrum, people listen to them because they are quite funny and it's not my kind of show. But President Biden was on the show when they talked about Twitter stuff! Here is a point about your question...I think that biggest thing that has changed is technology There are no editors anymore By the way this is such

59:42 It's not even a boomer. What is he? Is the what comes before Boomer the great generation But you can't be a silent generation er asylum that was called it was called the silent generation We should stay silent on this because he believes the Internet is You know just like every just like, you know publishing without editors and this is the problem And he's talking about Twitter, of course. And so you know I there's a lot been written and i started to write a book about it obviously time to do it now He started to write a book about it! You're gonna write a tech book?

1:00:21 Why are the guys writing about technology? This Biden guy, he doesn't even know how to turn a computer on. No he's talking about there is no editors but you know... He did say obviously that he doesn't have time now because he is president! Obviously I don't have time right now. If you go all the way back to Gutenberg and printing press it changed the nature of world and how nations got along with each other These guys never read our books so just keep going as long as we speak to Will But look, look, I'm getting into television I don't have some intentionally funny, but it was but think about how things have changed and every new Technological change it changed the way we interface with one another yeah Where there was a telegraph or the radio within television right? But now the internet for the first time. There's no editors right There's no editors at all and so how does somebody know what?

1:01:12 What is true? Hey John, in publishing back in the early days were there editors there back then was an editor for everything before it went out or he just referring to gatekeepers. Couple things one he says that changes the way we interface with each other doesn't mean interact Why would you use a term like interface? Hey, I'm interfacing. I'm interacting. You interact with people we don't interface with them so why is he using that word nanu-nanu? I am interfacing with you So editors are just John Payne or the guys who did the some of the early Revolutionary War stuff there was no editors they're Ben Franklin didn't use an editor He may have been one it comes and goes yeah, you use it

1:02:01 For tweets, what would you need an editor for? You need an editor for essays to stop the hate brother to stop the anti-semitism Hello That's the context. I don't know what he is talking about, he is a maniac and these three guys no one is going to question him because oh God look who we got on this show Well let us see what this second piece here Yeah and the difference between you know I think that you should do executive order where you could do You can post... I like this Hey! We are all on your side Joe Prez Joe You should do an executive order It was like This is..this is....I imagine how people talk to Elon

1:02:41 But to the president, hey man you should do an executive order. It's so cool to do those Yeah and the difference between... You know I think that you should do an executive order where you could post on the internet on social media but you have your name your address and phone number And then we'll see if people change their tone a little bit Isn't there any way for the FCC or someone put a rating system or the equivalent of saying this is just opinion, this is actually facts. Oh you've wanted this for a long time. Like you should be able to have to hit a certain threshold You can't just everything can't look the same it should have a little qualifier Twitter does it? Or did it with the last guy's tweets It's a sickness

1:03:23 It's a sickness. It is a sickness to want to control it! Oh, you've been wanting this for a long time... Yes I'm sure we can figure out what is false and what not right. Don't we have the technology? This is a sick thinking. It's really sick! It is sick, you're right it's totally sick and I always... In fact because it's so sick and stupid and because of the stupid part I'm gonna give you Clip Of The Day Well that is very sick of you. And it just reminds me

1:04:00 You've been wanting this a long time, haven't you? Total control! This is your thing. And it reminds me when Steve Jobs presented podcasting in iTunes at the time for the first time on stage Kara Swisher was right there first thing out of her mouth So how do we filter out the bad bits so... Right away to The Gatekeeper Their first thought, not wow this is great! This will liberate broadcasting. No how do we make sure you don't hear any dirty words? We gotta protect people. I'm Chris Fisher, I have to protect people. Alright so i have two...I think this will hopefully be the last

CHAPTER 22 / 50 Discussion

Elon Musk Twitter Layoffs and Content Moderation

Following his $44 billion acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk initiates massive layoffs affecting approximately 50% of the company's 7,500 employees. Civil rights groups like the NAACP call for an advertiser boycott until the platform implements stricter content moderation against hate speech. Musk defends his position at an investor conference, blaming activist pressure for a "massive drop" in revenue.

elon musk· twitter· layoffs· naacp· first amendment· advertising

1:04:41 We don't have to do much more on Elon except summaries as we move along after today's report because it's all spelled out now in his own voice, in his own words. But you didn't get any of that in the mainstream not even on Twitter itself where people are just tweeting little clips no if you don't keep it in there if you don't look for the full clip and all the context you will never know what's going on here's ABCs report of the latest with Elon and Twitter Tonight fired by the world's richest man This is news, this is how you present news. That's like headless body and topless bar. Fired! Tonight, fired by the world's richest man Elon Musk announced massive layoffs overnight telling employees they'd get an email today telling them their fate. Wait stop stop stop and start over I think that the reason that they emphasize fired like that in a negative way Trump Because exactly

1:05:43 Trump you are so right tonight fired by the world's richest man Elon Musk announcing massive layoffs overnight telling employees They get an email today telling them their fate that email Subject your role at Twitter in the email. Today is your last working day at the company and signed simply Twitter. I found that my work laptop was remotely wiped and access to Slack and Gmail revoked. Must reportedly laying off about... Like this is special! When you get fired, when whatever if you leave everything gets cut off

1:06:22 And this guy is being presented, at least it comes across the way it's put into this report as if some Nazi cut off all communications. 7500 member global workforce. 50% is a jaw-dropping number and really goes to the bone and heart of the Twitter ecosystem Another jaw dropping number, the $44 billion Musk paid for the company Billions more than most analysts believe it's worth I don't know what it means either Well ecosystem refers to the structure of the company Internally yeah

1:07:07 So you have your ecosystem, but he used the word ECHOSYSTEM which had some deep irony it seems to me in its usage. That...oh good catch! His echosystem runs on an ecosystem that's true no lie Not gonna lie, not hyperbole. Jaw-dropping number and really goes to the bone and heart of the Twitter ecosystem Another jaw dropping number? The $44 billion Musk paid for the company Billions more than most analysts believe it's worth And the nearly 13 billion dollars he borrowed to close the deal

1:07:47 To try to raise revenue, Musk floating the idea of a pay-to-play platform. An $8 monthly charge for verified accounts with the blue checkmark But the platform profits most from ads and companies are increasingly concerned about Musk's plans to change how Twitter moderates content. One study shows an unsettling increase in hate speech on Twitter since Musk took over at an investor conference in New York City today, Musk blamed pressure from activists who fear the platform becoming a playground for hate speech. We've done our absolute best to appease them and nothing is working

1:08:24 So this is a major concern, and I think this is frankly an attack on the First Amendment. This was really surprising to me this report—well in a way surprising in that not so Musk was indeed interviewed by Ron Baron who runs a very large hedge fund and this is his kind of like Warren Buffett's deal you know everyone comes together and oh yes are great The whole thing was is available on YouTube, you know He's there for an hour and all they do is get some wild mic sound of him saying And I just sound like Musk and it and it's only about content moderation

1:09:12 I got one more piece of this report and then we'll tell you what's really going on. And David critics like the NAACP say this is not a First Amendment issue calling on companies to pull their ads from the platform until Twitter quote rids itself of any content or account that spews hate or disinformation, that of course creates a big challenge as Musk tries to make Twitter profitable Yes so this is the general mainstream reaction to the acquisition Twitter in chaos! On fire internally. People en masse moving to Mastodon

CHAPTER 23 / 50 Discussion

Ron Baron and the Long-Term Strategy for Twitter

Billionaire investor Ron Baron interviews Elon Musk, clarifying that the acquisition of Twitter was based on the platform's future potential rather than its current state. Baron emphasizes that the "we" involved in the deal—the major investors—are focused on capturing "eyeballs" and expanding the Total Addressable Market (TAM). The strategy involves significant headcount reduction to improve the business's financial structure.

ron baron· elon musk· twitter· investment· total addressable market

1:09:49 That's the funniest and you know, you see all these tweets people like I'm here. I got signed up but oh what they don't get it It takes a little while so for people who are discovering it Don't worry, you'll figure it out just you know sign up somewhere hang out You'll figure it out But you know like Dave Weiner even went to Mastodon well now now, you know the hell is frozen over So it's all it's all just ah Oh, it's all this hate speech and you've got no moderation. And now I think it's interpublic! Big ad conglomerate recommending to their advertisers they put everything on hold and they did so how could this possibly work out for Elon because clearly he's going downhill, going down the tubes He's gonna die

1:10:40 So, we will have to interrupt at least one clip. I have four and most are short but then there's one which he really lays everything out and of course it's exactly what i expected it would be but then we can be done and we'll know what he's up to and what the plan is and then we can view every other piece of news in that context so here it is Ron Barron himself is introducing Elon is interviewing Elon on stage He's 80 years old Elon's 51 They're good business partners and I think that the majority of all the extra investment, maybe not the initial money that Elon needed to make the purchase but he's going to need a lot of money moving forward. I think it may be coming from this group, The Barons Group because if you listen and I've heard this with big investors not little ones

1:11:33 Well, except Jason Calacanis. But big investors they always say well we fired this many people We are doing this for the future we you know what I mean? Oh yeah, and they're bloodthirsty about it. Or not bloodthirsty but they're a bloodless! Yes They have no sense of shame The don't care that it's people They don't care who gets fired they just gotta get their numbers from A to B And its always we It's not you Elon Its We Because...it's NOT Elon It is WE It is the WE It is the money people and they have a strategy Here's the intro

1:12:10 So I saw this article, it says you bought something called Twitter. And it says Musk puts off lifting Twitter bans and so obviously the big deal to me anyway in Twitter is that we have this incredible, incredibly poorly managed business But those guys somehow did great for their shareholders by selling it to us. Right? But we didn't buy what they're selling, we bought something of what it's going to become. Yes I mean...

1:12:48 Most people would say like you're given where how the market has evolved this year the prices on the high side, right? Right But that's some basic what it is yes but in terms of water what I think there is a tremendous amount of potential That will be very difficult to achieve but I think possible And I think ultimately it could be one of the most valuable companies in the world so Clearly Mr. Barron is in on it because he knows, hey we didn't buy that piece of crap for what it is but for what it can become and he's doing this in front of his investors or limited partners or whatever they're called the people who invest in his fund that he then goes and invests the money in so this is all about... And we should also note that these guys think along the lines besides headcount which has got to go and it's always a positive you get the head count down

1:13:42 They always think in terms of the term we don't see much I've talked about before on this show eyeballs. Once you've captured this many eyeballs now the world is, you know... You can do whatever you want. One other thing. The Tam! What's the Tam? What's the TAM? Total Addressable Market. Yeah, that's a newer one! That's another one... The total addressable market is high and also the thing that never discussed because it's assumed is brand recognition This does a lot to be this is not they're not just buying you know Lionel train company No in fact they see a much bigger TAM

CHAPTER 24 / 50 Discussion

Twitter Blue and Payment Authentication Strategy

Elon Musk outlines a plan to use the $8 monthly Twitter Blue subscription as a tool for "payment authentication" rather than just verification. By requiring a payment method, the platform creates a "Know Your Customer" (KYC) layer that makes it prohibitively expensive for bad actors to operate large-scale bot networks. This shift aims to prioritize content from authenticated human users in search and replies.

twitter blue· kyc· authentication· bots· spam· verification

1:14:30 than the social media networking. And so this- So you have to! Yes, I can never imagine... You always have to be able to take over the world and completely take over all aspects of the entire world has to be at the end is your end goal even though it's never achievable it's always the goal and these guys all think the same Man, you have done too many Silicon Valley pitches. That's exactly what it is." So this next clip is the long one but this has everything in it every single thing that is really going to happen the real initiative and the smoke screen The smoke screen Is this noise right now which is great because that's exactly what's happening The noise about

1:15:18 verification, paid $8-$20 restoring accounts but really the noise is about oh it's all anti-semitism and they had the n-word for... I'd clip that off just to shorten stuff up but even Ron Barron said well you know this is yeah I'm a Jew. I don't want anti-semite antisemitic stuff. I don't want people using the N word so this all leads into the moderation red herring which is just going to keep everyone talking about that. while he has a very different plan. We should be able to figure out with software how to moderate this and prevent that from happening, is that true or not? Yes absolutely I totally agree you know content moderation policies have not changed at Twitter and it is not okay to engage in hateful conduct on Twitter How does that square... so for a man who was pro free speech or pre-speech absolutist

1:16:18 How does he come out of the gate with, well hateful conduct is not allowed? Well, doesn't that by definition preclude hate speech? Whatever it is. Well a couple of things to note... Is he really a free-speech absolutist when it comes down to his properties? No, of course not! He doesn't care. It's all red herring. Wait wait why is none of this reported by the mainstream if they want to give us an in depth analysis of what's really going on instead of the bullcrap Oh because they are very shallow This is the same, because I've noticed this with Kara Schwisher who has a so-called tech podcast called On With Kara Schwisher. And she truly believes that the playbook is get some revenue with some subscribers they get a couple of extra features which she won't do because she doesn't care She just wants to be a regular person

1:17:15 and advertising, and they still believe that this is an advertising play. And that's the part that the mainstream is going after. They want to... That's why they mention it! No more advertisers for you schmuck because there in competition of course. Yes, when it comes to advertising they want to bring everybody down. They love reporting that Meta or Facebook has now sub $100 They love talking about how TikTok is eating everybody's lunch. Elon is a genius for playing this card. It is not okay to engage in hateful conduct And when I say by playing this card, he's purposefully doing bullcrap stuff like we're gonna have a content... Starfleet Command who will decide who can be on and who cant There's no hateful conduct On Twitter

1:18:14 Oh yes, very good. Hold on a second stop again. By the way we are the two people I believe and I almost want to say I do believe who can actually deconstruct this particular story with this material that we have and you're right it's baffling that no one else has done it Why is an audience applauding anything? Are they, is this like a Greek chorus and that's as their showing approval? And who is the approval being shown to Elon? Is it to encourage him what is an audience in this. This is a discussion between a bunch of people right on the stage. Well no no its just Ron and uh... and Elon and this is They're on the stage though right Yeah they are on stage yes. And there talking with each other we've seen these events a million times you see them all time trying to like

1:19:11 Get some messaging out. And why are they, what was the point of the applause? Well the point of the applause is that people in the audience it's their money and they're a little concerned about their investment in this anti-Semitic racist platform that their man Ron has chosen to bring... Are these people actually investors I thought the company was being taken private No, these are investors in Ron Barron's fund. The guy who keeps saying we us the guy who owns Musk at least partially he owns Musk. So this audience is there to

1:19:48 indicate their approval or disapproval. Yes, of the way the money is being spent and so when Musk says let me be clear there's no place for hateful content on Twitter conduct on Twitter they're always like yes don't let anyone use our money to call people... Don't be anti-Semitic! Our rice hashed that's what it is we clear? Okay so they're a bunch of minion investors dumb money as you call them We have had like actually oddly targeted attacks where temporarily people have been able to put some hate speech on Twitter, but then it's been taken down immediately. So part of what I'm trying to achieve with this sort of enabling everyone to be payment verified with Twitter or Blue is to try and get as many people payment verified... Okay hold on a second Why does he go for moderation?

1:20:46 to payment verified. Not verified, payment verified! I don't know, you're the one that's been analyzing it. Where temporarily people have been able to put some hate speech on Twitter but then it has been taken down immediately so... Part of what I'm trying to achieve with this sort of enabling everyone's to be payment verified with Twitter Blue is to try and get as many people payment verified as possible. It's only eight bucks a month, although for some people that were complaining about that these are the people who pay more than that for their latte. I am going to be one your Twitter Blue customers. Thank you! As part of its revenue part of it is payment authentication

1:21:34 Hey! First he used payment verified, then he used the real term payment authentication. I just want to point out this is exactly what i've been saying authenticate everybody get your KYC just like the boys over at smartless were yeah you get their name and the phone number and the email address in there and the home address let's see if they do all that hate speech this is exactly the book of plays as part of its revenue part of it is payment authentication And so if somebody, because there is a huge problem with spam and bots and trolls on Twitter. And organizations trying to manipulate public opinion and just generally making the system worse

CHAPTER 25 / 50 Discussion

Twitter's Evolution into a Content Creator Platform

The new vision for Twitter includes expanding the platform to support long-form video, audio, and podcasts. Musk intends to share revenue with content creators to compete with YouTube and TikTok, providing a financial incentive for high-quality content. This transformation seeks to move Twitter beyond a "micro-blogging" site into a comprehensive media and monetization ecosystem.

twitter· podcasts· long-form video· monetization· content creators

1:22:16 But I think that there is an answer to that, which is to get as many regular users of Twitter to be a subscriber for $8 a month. And you'll get a lot more than just the blue checkmark for eight dollars a month because... Now pay attention here So apparently the price is now $8 a month. I don't understand his numerology He always has 420 6-9 why is he doing eight dollars? I think I also got I should mention that I have been offered this deal Oh, you got the deal are you in on the deals you pick up on this item? Yes, are you got to do for the show for I know I do and I'm going to but it's $4.99 for me Yeah because uh you're being grandfathered in no pun intended

1:22:58 That's what I'm guessing. Yeah, I'm guessing the old blue check marks are being grandfathered in for some cheaper rate and supposedly the benefits include being able to edit tweets well have you also on your Twitter do you now see a Verified tab because you should or maybe that's only in the app it might not be on the website So you say a verified tab so when you when you go to Twitter, you have home Which is everyone you follow or and yeah whatever the algo gives you then you have all which is all tweets Yeah know that I know what you're saying. You get it all mentions by you Yeah, that verified tab has been on my feed forever Forever okay for a decade or more does it work?

1:23:47 Yeah, it works. You click on it and you just see verified people that are commenting to you. So that tab... And its handy, kind of busy. No no no! That tab is the new Twitter Listen on users of Twitter to be a subscriber for $8 month You'll get a lot more than just the blue checkmark for eight dollars a month because now we can afford long-form video along for long audio Podcasts oh and we can also start sharing revenue with content creators, which I mean come on Joe hold on a second He's going from a blah blah chat troll site too Longer content blog posts newsletters video podcasts. We're gonna pay content creators what? You believe this well, I'd like to see what mechanism they're going to use to pay Content creators. Well once you're

1:24:41 payment authenticated, it becomes easy after that. How's that? Because you still can't... Are you going to charge for the content or what are you...? how are you going to do that particular mechanism make that mechanism work I have no idea! I don't think is actually true I don't think he is ever gonna do it podcast on Twitter and would hasn't haven't we seen this move my sub stack column over to twitter yeah why not do both there ya go No, it's very odd. I think it is just spouting off stuff like hey Silicon Valley we're going to do YouTube we got you! Reddit we got ya! It's the standard list of stuff that were gonna do. Standards, very standards And again this all just smoke and mirrors and hot air... ...and we can also start sharing revenue with content creators which is essential Give them a chance to make money Yeah absolutely Yay!!!

1:25:41 Yeah. Are you excited John are you pumped? I have been jacked man. You'll be able to make money with money yeah Right now if your Twitter deals, you'll see a lot of links posted to YouTube and tick-tock Yeah And that's because at least until now Twitter is not allowed even given them enough video length to post their video and then they give the content creators No means monetizing the video so we're going to change that rapidly at Twitter That's gonna be transformative But if we can transform it, it's gonna be transformed another Silicon Valley buzzword It's monetizing the video. So we're going to change that rapidly at Twitter That's gonna be transformative but but if we can get enough verified users and we're gonna prioritize Twitter search replies mentions by verified users first

CHAPTER 26 / 50 Discussion

Ukrainian and Russian Bot Armies on Twitter

Australian researchers identified a massive pro-Ukraine bot army that emerged immediately following the Russian invasion, accounting for over 90% of related tweets. The report highlights the sophisticated hacking and "black hat" capabilities of both Ukrainian and Russian software developers. This prevalence of state-sponsored or organized bot activity is cited as a primary reason for Musk's push toward user authentication.

ukraine· russia· bots· hackers· australian researchers· misinformation

1:26:35 Yeah. That's what's called amplified? Yes! You see, this guy Ron lets it out of the bag there that's what's called amplified?! That term is not out there yet as far as I'm concerned but you will be amplified...I think that the idea is your verified your amplified your hydronified your transhumanized because you will show up in priority in a priori you will show up These terms remind me, I have to, this is a question just kind of general question maybe. So a friend of mine has been moved in Hollywood has been moved into social media and one of the terms that keeps cropping up is funneling.

1:27:20 And I don't remember hearing that as one of our Silicon Valley specials. Have you heard of funneling? Is that so, you funnel people and catch people in a net and drag them behind your walled garden? You go through the funnel hole yeah... The funnel hole?! Well, the funnel hole is not determined. It's funneling it's called funneling I want the funnel and this is like Silicon Valley Southern California would those guys are nuts? They don't know what they're doing They're incompetent to be honest about it bull crap and no one's gonna find it was that we know its bullcrap We saw we saw with Facebook. It was very difficult for Facebook to put everything into their app In fact they started with podcasts made big announcements pulled out YouTube same yeah You can't do

1:28:05 Yeah, once you have so much you can do yeah. You know when Facebook's got a lock on it on a whole mechanism They want to do all this other stuff This is the this is the actually Achilles heel of Silicon Valley But this is not what's happening? This is just the bullcrap ties Twitter search replies mentions by verified users first That's what's called amplified. Amplified! So if your payment verified with VoucherMock then you're pre-prioritized. The point of this is to make crime not pay Now, this is the part that I like about his scheme so taking it...I'm just gonna jump ahead a little bit give you some thinking I think it comes up

1:28:53 The idea is get as many people verified as possible. You don't need to be verified, but you will have the equal priority to bots! Now what Elon has discovered and I think this might be genius... What he's discovered is that there was a news story today where is it? That a lot of the bots are political parties Sure, there's Chinese and Russian misinformation whatever but if you look at What was this story? There was a story here somewhere Oh under Ukraine and Russia Massive anti-russian bot army exposed by Australian researchers. And so this spun up on day one of the in the illegal invasion

1:29:47 it was all pro-Ukraine. 92% 90 point 2 percent of all tweets both bought and non bought came from accounts that were pro Ukraine so these researchers you know found like we have to stop we have to stop and remember a lot of people soon forget that of all the hackers in the world The Ukrainians and the Russians are at the top of the list, and the Ukrainians are at the top over the Russians. The Ukrainian's have always had a hacker community in fact I know if a friend of mine who is Ukrainian and half Russian half Ukrainian who is a software developer and he has most of his team as in Ukraine

1:30:29 The Ukrainians are superb at hacking and black hat stuff. And in fact, I think we mentioned this maybe a decade ago where somebody says they're trying to track somebody from you know some scammers that are doing some horrible thing online and as soon as they see a Ukrainian IP address they just say yeah have to give up. I see this differently. To me what Musk is seeing enormous efforts by Department of Homeland Security, Democratic National Committee individual maybe the military-industrial complex. Large bot armies trying to influence Americans it's Americans influencing Americans about how they should think and this is taking place on Twitter and this is large large bot networks and what Elon is now saying I believe

CHAPTER 27 / 50 Discussion

The Economic Cost of Bot Networks

Elon Musk argues that the current cost of creating a bot on Twitter is less than a penny, facilitating widespread spam and manipulation. By implementing an $8 fee for prioritized visibility, the cost of maintaining a 100,000-account bot network would rise to $800,000 per month. This economic barrier is intended to push unverified "troll" content to the equivalent of the "eighth page of Google search results."

elon musk· bots· twitter· google search· spam

1:31:23 and I think this may be a genius plan, is hey if you aren't verified which will you will be payment authenticated. You will be pushed down to the bottom of the heap where no one cares with the rats and the bug eaters and the trolls and unverified. Let me summarize what your gonna say Elon is sick because he tried to do research on how many bots there are. He said, okay well this thing is loaded with these it's infested which is what you just said. Infested? How can we make money off the infestation? Let's just get the bot guys to give us eight bucks, hey you have a hundred bots that are doing this propaganda? Eight bucks! You have 1,000 bots...eight bucks! He has different numbers If your payment verified with VoucherClock then you're proprietized Wait for it The point of this is to make crime not pay Because

1:32:27 Because right now to create a bot on Twitter costs less than a penny. So the cost of crime is so cheap and that's part of why crime and hateful conduct pays, but if somebody risks losing even eight bucks they... It's too expensive to now have 100 thousand fake accounts because I have to spend $800,000 dollars a month as opposed to you know 800 dollars a month. Okay! I really like this. So did you notice the gaffe? What what was the gaffe he says you'd have to pay $800,000 a month as opposed to eight hundred dollars a month Well, he's saying a penny Okay that okay. I thought it was referring to the fact You can you know, you can have 100,000 bots but it'll be this you can have 100 bots for 8 bucks Right right so no He's saying so you could have your boss Pennywood right okay, right good math was correct. Okay, so

1:33:30 So again, the thinking for me is you're right. Oh my god this thing is low because that was the problem bots but I need but instead of Instead of How about this to blow your mind? Instead of I need to know how many real people there are how about he's like I need to know how many government bot networks I need to know what the real Tam is My tam here is government. My tam is PR firms It's hill and Knowlton You know It's the ADL. It's anybody who wants to have influence on this Twitter network, which has been just free now he's like hey you know go ahead just got to be verified and

1:34:11 I'm sure there'll be some corporate verification standard because he's clearly making it clear that the bots are welcome as long as they're verified. $800 a month and then we also since were using payment authentication, we're piggybacking on the authentication system of the payment system and we're also piggybacking off Apple's authentication system which is another layer of security Oh oh first of all we're going after rich people First so bring it this is all gonna be in the Apple iOS and we're not just gonna use your payment authentication No, we're gonna use Apple's authentication. We got all the goods on you as opposed to You know $800 month? We know who you are And then we also since were using payment authentication where piggybacking on the authentication system of the payment system and we're also

1:35:01 pay you back off of Apple's authentication system, which is another layer of security. So the net effect will be over time that the verified users will pretty much always be at the top of comments and search and you won't really see... You'll have to scroll far to see the unverified users which will be bots and trolls and what not. Ha ha! Ya hear that? Hey users, that's YOU if ya don't pay You're gonna be a down there with the bots and the trolls. And this is sort of analogous to Google search like if you go to page 8 of Google search, there will be a tonne of scams and stuff, call it page eight or nine something like that

1:35:49 But the thing is that Google search results are so good for page one, that you never go to page eight. So it's rare and like the old joke is... Something we don't want to see gets pushed way down? Yeah basically the bad stuff gets pushed way down And then crime stops paying and they stop trying to do all these things. So, I mean the joke is like what's the best place to hide a dead body would be the second page of Google search results Nobody ever goes there Now I have to admit that was good one. I hadn't heard that joke. Yes, and oh yeah you got that from someone else All right well so I think this is possible money maker

Advertiser Pressure and the First Amendment

Elon Musk characterizes the advertiser boycott of Twitter as an "attack on the First Amendment," orchestrated by activist groups. He notes that Twitter is particularly vulnerable because its revenue relies on large brand advertising rather than direct response ads. A historical parallel is drawn to William Randolph Hearst, who reportedly vowed to destroy companies that pulled advertising from his newspapers.

elon musk· advertising· first amendment· william randolph hearst· general motors

1:36:30 It's interesting. I still don't think it is really what he is doing here, in fact as we continue with the second piece of this To be frank, Twitter was having pretty serious revenue challenges and cost challenges before the acquisition talks started. And any company that is dependent on advertising has had a hard time so... Now listen to what he's saying about the advertising market about Twitter's particular type of advertising and I think it's clear that he doesn't see this as any type of revenue driver If you look at, say, Snap or Google, Facebook and whatnot they've all had a difficult time with advertising revenue dropping. And Twitter is more currently vulnerable than they are to advertising because most of Twitter's advertising is large brand advertising as opposed to direct response so it's kind of like much more over-discretionary ad spend than it is for

1:37:34 Like if you can do direct response for a specific product. And then we also recently had a lot of difficulty with activist groups pressuring major advertisers to stop spending money on Twitter This is despite us doing everything possible to appease them and make it clear that moderation rules and hateful conduct rules have not changed. And we're continuing to enforce them." And by the way, this would've been a news bite even for Fox News! Elon saying hey, we've done everything to try and appease them? We're trying really trying to work with the crazies, we're really trying help him out

1:38:19 A number of major advertisers have stopped spending on Twitter. But this doesn't seem right because there's no change in our operations at all and... You hear this? There has been no change! We didn't change anything, it is all illusion you're imagining things It isn't fair But nonetheless the activist groups have been successful in causing a massive drop in Twitter advertising revenue And we've done our absolute best to appease them and nothing is working So this is a major concern, and I think this is frankly an attack on the First Amendment Activist groups can pressure

1:39:04 advertisers upon which Twitter is fundamentally dependent to suppress free speech, then that doesn't seem right. A tepid applause! Okay Does this sound like a guy who's really sincere when he says, I mean about an advertising based company that his defenses or his strategy for is advertising which has now been cut off at the knees. His strategy is it's not right! He's an attacker of the First Amendment Well couple things to note One Musk is not a guy out of all these billionaire types and they're

1:39:50 This is a small group of them. He doesn't seem like, and he's the richest of the group just through pretty conniving techniques using the government mostly to leverage everything The stories about him and his first wife, and leaving her and the kid on a bus stop is saying I'm out of here. And some of the other things he's done...I don't know if this is the guy you'd want to piss off long term. Are you saying that about me? Like I should be quiet and not say anything? No, you're not pissing him off- yeah, I'm not talking about you! You're hurting him at all, you're just analyzing. I'm talking about people who cut advertising

1:40:31 from his operation. Okay, good point yeah he's General Motors for example and some of these other companies that he's in competition with anyway to do that kind of right take a good point and he's irked about it you can tell if you listen to him but I'm reminded of a note that Will Hurst Talked about that he found in his grandfather's William Randolph Hearst billionaire Wilhurst, but it well will yeah He's a billion hair He's a billionaire. Billionaire, billionaire. He found this note in William Randolph Hearst pile of documents and the note was about some advertisers who had pulled out from advertising in The Examiner one of these papers back in the 1800s early 1900s probably 1900s and it was like we're gonna do everything we can to destroy this company yeah

1:41:31 We're going to write articles about him. We're going to do this, we're gonna do that." And I've always thought that...I never thought that was something that would be a surprise—it was a surprise to him to read this note but it didn't seem like a surprise to me there are businessmen out there that don't put up with this kind of thing and they'd be pressured by a bunch of weenies, the Rob Reiners of the world as opposed to just doing what you're supposed to do which is advertise You know not supposed to take sides in political debate I really think Elon is going to make a point of ruining some people's lives. Oh, and i think that's probably true but...

CHAPTER 29 / 50 Discussion

X.com and the Vision for a Global Financial Institution

Elon Musk reveals that his ultimate goal for Twitter is to execute a business plan he wrote in July 2000 for X.com. He intends to transform the platform into the "most valuable financial institution in the world," essentially building a superior version of PayPal. This long-term vision suggests that the social media aspect of Twitter is secondary to its potential as a global payments and banking system.

x.com· paypal· elon musk· financial institution· twitter

1:42:10 Again, bearing in mind this was an investor conference. These people put a lot of money and trust into it. And of course I saw the entire Q&A, the entire interview. You would expect if this was his direction he would say you know we can do this but it's not right. It is an attack on the First Amendment and here's our strategy what were going to do about it but that didn't come Instead, the true strategy unfolded. And you can go and listen to the whole thing I cut out most of the ums It comes right many ums. Oh my goodness it comes right after this whole bit about the moderation and the advertising and Here it is what's the vision? What's the real strategy once Twitter is set on the right path I think it isn't much easier thing to manage than SpaceX or Tesla so And I really understand the Internet, and how to make a

1:43:10 I wrote software personally for 20 years. You know, it was one of the key people behind x.com which became PayPal and so also like I'm aware of like a...I know how to make a way better PayPal So first of all he says PayPal... Yeah, this has been your sub-theory. Your original theory was one thing but your sub-theory came into this in the fact that he's going to go after PayPal which is very funny! Yeah what I said is he's going to ruin Twitter which is true He will deliver exactly what the sleepless boys, smartless guys thought

1:43:54 was, yeah you know once you get a name and number let's see how what a smart ass you are. You're gonna get that because you're verified otherwise your bot status the bots will have to be elevated he'll have some cash flow for that but when he says yeah I was one of the... this is not Ron Baron saying it's Elon saying yeah I basically created PayPal! I mean x.com notice X because he has a hard-on about that cuz I think that's they kicked him out lucky lucky letter either Well, they kicked him out and they said then take your damn x.com with you And so he's been holding on to this for 22 years Wait wait yeah This again is part of my thesis that he could he's the guy with a long memory They can hold a grudge it's not a grudge It's a hard-on this is his albatross This is his metaverse

1:44:46 And I really understand the internet and how to make, so I wrote software personally for 20 years. You know it was one of the key people behind x.com which became PayPal and so also like I'm aware of like a...I know how to make way better PayPal. Way better? Yeah! Wait a minute, what did you say here? So also like I'm aware of like a and i know how to make it sounds Like he's saying, I like underwear which is kind of weird. I know He's saying I'm aware but when I said I also like underwear so Also, like I'm aware of like and I know how To make a way better paypal because you built paypal Because you built paypal because You build paypal right right elon? Because you build paypal that's what you promised me when I gave you all this money A way better paypal Oh my debt

1:45:41 Yeah, well you may have caught that catch maybe worth it. It's way better. It may have been the scheme that Baron was presented from the get-go This is what I'm saying! Yeah he was... and so Baron is excited now So that's why he's getting jacked And so we had to throw that little in there To assuage any doubters yeah He's all amped! IT'S BECAUSE YOU BUILT THE GROUND a way better PayPal. Because you built PayPal? Yeah, yeah. Really? Pretty much pretty much I mean it was a lot of other people. Oh okay

1:46:21 There's a product plan I wrote which I wish I'd kept a copy of in July of 2000 where I thought it would be possible to make the most valuable financial institution in the world. There you go, the most valuable financial institution in the world? And we're going to execute that plan from 22 years ago which amazingly no one has done and so That's part of why I think Twitter will be ultimately extremely valuable because I'm going to execute the x.com game plan from 22 years ago Is it clear everybody? He's going to execute that plan from 22 years ago, build a better PayPal the most valuable financial institution in the world. He does not give a crap about your tweets. With some improvements and we're also gonna obviously make Twitter just a way better system I mean its sans reason that you know if a social media company is

1:47:22 is not taking steps to make it positive to be on that social platform, then people won't come or they'll leave. You know? So you speak of sort of anti-Semitism or racism or anything like that... Who's gonna stay on a platform if that's prevalent? Okay, so now you see how he goes straight back He's saying okay. I'm going to build my dream 22 years the most successful financial Institution in the world I can build a better PayPal and of course I need some idiots to hang out So I'm gonna turn it into a news site I'm going because of course all the news all the reporters all the news eight companies

CHAPTER 30 / 50 Discussion

Twitter as a Universal Unique Identifier (UUID)

Experts in the anti-money laundering industry suggest that Musk's real objective is to turn Twitter into a "Universal Unique Identifier." By collecting and verifying names, dates of birth, addresses, and tax identification numbers, Twitter could become a primary source of verified identity data. This monthly stream of verified address and financial data would be extremely valuable to the global financial and identity industries.

uuid· kyc· thomson reuters· identity verification· social security number

1:48:02 Everyone will pay the pay $3,000. They have to because they won't be able to quote tweets anymore for their news reports instead of... Exactly! Instead of actually going out and getting a quote And they will push this they will build this They will tell you to get verified. There'll be all right there'll be all and again it's come to a youth say verified Elon says authenticated That's obviously yeah I mean come on as voter remits inherent wrongness now But listen to what he says about the moderation. This is very interesting, his true thinking It needs to be something where like our goal with Twitter is like how do we get 80% of America? Maybe not the sort of far left and the far right, but maybe we don't want them necessarily. So those of you on the far left and the far right maybe we don't want you necessarily But I wonder if there's going to be some kind of admission process so you have to be payment authenticated but we just might not want you

1:49:13 Far left work. Far left, far right? It needs to be something where like our goal with Twitter is how do we get 80% of America maybe not the sort of far left and the far right but maybe we don't want them necessarily but how do we get 80% of the public to join a digital town square and voice their opinion and exchange ideas and maybe once in awhile change their minds So we're back to that. So there's his trick, he told you exactly what he was doing and he is couching that in a red herring and one of our producers who shall go unnamed, because he worked in the anti-money laundering industry at Thomson Reuters, Nice, Actimize and a couple others. He says I would call myself an expert in know your customer fraud screening due diligence and he says this type of authentication has two parts CIP customer identification program and due diligence

1:50:14 Most people are only speaking about the custom identification program aspect of Twitter. This requires the institution to verify at least four elements of an identity, name date-of-birth address social security number what is a TIN? Is that some identifier in order to verify these and any additional Personal identifying information elements in an institution needs to look across a myriad of data sources. You can verify the first three with the driver's license, but not the social security number. You can verify their social security number with SSN card but not address or date of birth. This leads to a system where institutions will rely on official documents like those in addition to credit header data from the bureaus, telco data utility data etc

1:51:03 So Elon wants to turn Twitter, according to him our professional into a universal unique identifier and this is apparently the holy grail. Thomson Reuters supposedly one of the best at this where he worked um... The idea that you on a monthly basis will confirm your financial information, which includes with that the final you know what you need for financial information already available once you've been authenticated financially. You also are confirming your address and apparently this stream of data of knowing that someone's address is verified every month is worth a lot of money in this industry, in the financial industry and in the identity industry. And of course that's what he's going for

CHAPTER 31 / 50 Discussion

The PayPal Mafia and Hiring Talent

The history of the "PayPal Mafia," including Peter Thiel and Pierre Omidyar, is discussed in relation to Musk's career. Musk's primary talent is identified as human resources and the ability to hire exceptional people, a skill that led to the success of SpaceX and Tesla. This is contrasted with other tech founders who have struggled to maintain organizational focus or have "hired the woke," leading to operational decline.

peter thiel· pierre omidyar· tesla· spacex· civil engineering· hiring

1:51:54 And it'll be a better PayPal and you know, I think it will be dollars or whatever. Maybe he's part of the central bank digital currency gang maybe it'll be Doge! I don't know but that's what he is up to and Twitter is going to be ruined because you're gonna... well, I would love to see what we have to do get verified if you get in now maybe you don't have to bring all four pieces. Maybe? I'm definitely sign-up. Yeah please! You should Yeah, he's got quite the vision there. Whether he can execute it or not remains to be seen. There are probably reasons that the 22-year plan wasn't done by PayPal who knows why? They hated him! They thought it was a dick and kicked him out Well, he probably was a dick I also don't think that it was X.com first...I think there is dispute over that And even those little things can really break up a partnership

1:52:55 Well, let's face it. Let's look who is in this partnership Peter Teal? Peter teal who is a crackpot and he is the you know the right-winger I was also intelligence with Palantir if extremely smart all these guys seem to have a lot of brains Which is weird that they do something so kind of like lackluster like PayPal which does not like Like a chip company, let's say. Where you really have to put a lot of effort into it Then again, you might not want to put a lot of work into it. But Teal's they all seem like hard workers and then you have Pierre Omidar. Comedian, drummer. Yep And he is a... You don't see so much him but he's the left winger Yeah So I think Musk was the libertarian so he had this kind of although Teal would argue that he is a libertarian not right winger Right But you have these three guys and their strong personalities They don't get along

1:53:55 And or it seems that they don't get along because you just don't see him doing did never brought the band back together. Right? Yeah, and well knows I mean, yeah Elon didn't invent Tesla No, he raised the money with his investors and bought Tesla and kicked out the original founders. Yeah He's good at that. Yeah SpaceX he took a lot of cast offs from NASA. He saw that wide open Yeah, I wasn't either was a shoe in And and he does have to be you know A lot of these guys You have to say what what is their real talent their real town? You always had to get beyond what it looks like Like one time I was in France and those

1:54:37 with a friend of mine who's driving us, me and Mimi around to Paris. And I mentioned what do you think the French are really? What is it that the French are best known for? What did the French really good at or they're so good that they're the best in the world? And then I'm thinking what he was going to talk about agriculture maybe wine growing, I don't know. And he surprised me with the answer as soon as he said it, I said absolutely civil engineering. The giant sewers, the high-speed rail. The roads that you... My first time I went to France, I noticed that roads were no potholes unlike our roads especially Highway 80 out here which is just loaded with potholes No potholes in France! So i'm thinking that Musk's real success is from human resources He knows how to hire people

1:55:26 Yeah, I think he does. Yes probably he's one of those guys and i don't know too many but i'm not one of them But if I know the guys who are really good at hiring uh By whatever mechanism they use they're very successful it's a very successful The two of us were our best success is just doing something simple but you know not hiring A bunch of people it's a pain in the ass and it's hard to figure it out um That's that's a very astute point sucks It totally blows. Totally, totally blows chunks man! So I do have a couple of thoughts... I don't see so much of that with Peter Thiel or Amadar

1:56:10 I mean, Omidar's intercept operations is a disaster. He had good people he had Matt Taibbi as one of the early founders and he had Glenn Greenwald couldn't keep him because they hired some losers that got in there and screwed it up And that's that's a real problem to hiring the woke Hiring the woke is bad. Hiring the woke is not a good idea So I think we now have enough information When the stories come out we can just view this from afar and we don't have to get yeah, no I think you're right. I think we've got the information We can everything can be put into this kind of box that we've created And we can just now the only question is when are they gonna do an IPO? So and I did have other thoughts briefly about mastodon

CHAPTER 32 / 50 Discussion

Mastodon, Pinafore, and the Future of the Fediverse

As users migrate from Twitter to Mastodon, new interfaces like Pinafore.social are emerging to improve the user experience. The discussion explores whether the "Fediverse" should adopt algorithmic feeds to satisfy users' desire for engagement or return to the topic-based forum structures of early services like CompuServe and USENET. Reddit is cited as a successful modern example of topic-centric community organization.

mastodon· pinafore· fediverse· compuserve· reddit

1:57:01 Because you know the mastodon we use it for no agenda, so no gender social calm Yeah It seems like and maybe someone has done this maybe I'm just unaware of it But it seems like there could be a very easy in fact. I found something today or someone sent me This is called pinafore P-I-N-A F-O-R-E dot social, pinafore.social. And what you do is you go to it and it's just on the web I don't think they have an app but that's not the point The whole point is its a web based interface You put in knowagendasocial.com and then if your using a browser that you've used with Know Agenda Social before It'll pop right up and say hey

1:57:44 Will you authorize this app to access your account? Which I of course have done. And then it gives you a whole... So, if you go to pinafore.social it gives you a whole interface on top including in settings You can do all kinds of changes to the interface The way it looks, you can add hotkeys or even wellness settings which are designed to reduce the addictive or anxiety-inducing aspects of your social life. Choose any options that work well for you, hide follower counts, hide boost counts, hide favorite counts, hide unread notifications show abusive timestamps all kinds of... So what you could do is use the same type of interface and why wouldn't you just give someone an algo across the entire Fediverse?

1:58:37 So, you know you could have like oh yeah. You log in and uh... you're still getting your people but the algo is doing what Twitter does. It puts angry people up the top so do it again I mean all these great things that could be across all these instances it seems like that's what people are missing Is where do I go for my hit? This chronological stuff instead of algo is just not giving me with a juice that I need For No Agenda Nation we know This is obviously very healthy and we're happy with it. I also, as I was thinking about this which seems like probably pretty hard to do... Do you know what was really good back in the day before Twitter? And it was the same across every mass communications mechanism and I think probably CompuServe had the best because they had their CB which was their community bulletin boards but of course it sounded like a citizen's radio. It was called CB simulator for a reason Yeah, like it was a CB radio

1:59:35 And what yeah, and there was but it's the same as use net groups and bulletin boards and forums we had topics so Why wouldn't I mean why would just have? Like, he was like I want to go adult. Remember that? You had to be 18 or older you couldn't just get into the adult room Yeah and you can be sure that no kids under 18 were in that room Never got in! But that was the beauty of it That made it cool And also politics It would be all crazy This is where you're going You fight and yell Wouldn't make sense to just Go back to something like that instead of one Isn't what Reddit kind of tries to do? Yeah very successful

2:00:15 I guess you're right. Except Reddit has, you know... I left Reddit when I left Facebook years ago so i don't know Anyway if anyone wants to do something cool maybe can do something uh Do an algo if you want to and that's- And you'll see he's gonna sell different algos Oh! You want your happy algo? And y'know you get your happy thing Your laughter on Twitter Well thats coming but really it is about one thing We now know There we go. Now with that I'd like to thank you for your courage saying the morning to you, the man who put this sea in chunks of Chinese space junk ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end Mr John C DeMora

Troll Room Technical Issues and Value for Value

The "Troll Room" live-chat community is experiencing technical issues where certain browsers fail to display the login box. Producers are encouraged to help redesign the web interface as part of the "value for value" model. Despite the glitches, the community continues to support the live broadcasts every Thursday and Sunday, though listener numbers have shown a slight recent decline.

Notice for our trolls I guess something changed? on how the, if you go to trollroom.io somehow some browsers no longer that you get the stream but some browsers are no longer showing the box to log into the Troll Room we're trying to fix this obviously there's a direct link so you can get to it that way if you want now why would you wanna do that? well you have no life or you hate your job or you're so good at your job just wanna hang out

2:01:45 and do other stuff because you're just an autopilot, but maybe you're a troll. It's all very possible so that's where the trolls go! And they listen to us live every Thursday and Sunday there are... Hold it stop is it possible that that's the reason for their lagging numbers? This was suggested to me. It is possible I wouldn't say a bunch but yes I would say it could thwart some Some stream starts, yes definitely. And also maybe they're just tired you know? They're trolls the time difference got them off oh you know they're feeling weird I don't let's see how many we have in there let's uh hands up there trolls! Let me see how many we've got... Sunday lets see what we've got going 1981 for today 1981 not even cracking twos anymore Yeah it should be 2200 that's the number it should be Maybe they're dying off

2:02:41 I don't think so. They can't get on for some reason or something because there's no reason for the drop-off Yeah, nah...I love your analysis You're probably right Well, I got to figure this out and by the way We need a great trollroom.io webpage anyway So if anyone will make a great web page host it somewhere put the elements in you know what they are? I will point troll room dot IO to you as well as Noah agenda stream calm make it something nice you can do it That's how we roll here with our value for value model.

2:03:38 Although it's probably running out because everyone is just going to the mastodon. We can't be with the evil Twitter! Well, welcome to the party everybody! Signup dot noagendasocial dot com Let's thank the artists for episode 1500. This was the big one, it was a great celebration we had a really good time really appreciated all the well wishes even though we couldn't read any of them on the show and we're still recovering from this but um...we're getting closer uh..the biggest problem is make goods and And really the people who enter as much information as they're allowed into the PayPal notices or the bank transfer, or on the check. They're the ones who rarely goes wrong email is just it's so broken also Yeah, that's a we will give us a month and we'll have it all straightened out So don't start complaining yet But remind us remind us one might remind us in one month from now You know remind this as we go along so we get

2:04:40 We really are working on this. I mean, we have to do this because we have to have answers when the next podcasters come along surpass us and don't want their value for value model to break in front of their eyes which is kind of what happened with the feedback loop so thank you for all sticking with us and thank you Nico Seim For bringing us the artwork for episode 1500. I don't know what it was It was something about just the artisticness. I like the curry Dvorak subdued nature of the art We were not that important which I like because of course we're celebrating 1,500 episodes Of all of all the producers you know, we're just no we're just your cruise guides and

2:05:25 So what I mean there were so many there were lots of 15 they were too many Of course, there we're not that we're complaining about it But they were too many this was the one that stood out the most We talked about it. A lot of people liked it because it was 70s ish or something? I don't know what it was It had grabbed us and we looked at all these pieces and we finally decided that was the one that we could Live with there was like I liked the mouth of open house capitalist agenda that was kind of it Was a little very pretty but it was like, you know whatever. Okay That's exactly how the meeting went and what? What's the point of them it was 1500 episodes was way too small for to be visible as art There was one when you liked as usual you put an altimeter on there and Adam likes it

2:06:14 And so that's what Darren O'Neill knows. That was Rick Harris, interesting! Yeah and I always mix it for various reasons. Adams basic reason is you can't read anything on there the basic fun thing about whenever you put an altimeter because it's not the first time You know the discussion always goes like this...and I know It's okay but just say you notice you don't have to do altimeters anymore John will say yeah, I can't read anything on this compass I never said that ever. Yes you did! You said compass, you said the compass thing...I said that's an altimeter The compass so there ya go That's why I'm the pilot. If you get witnesses then I agree with it. I'm gonna start taping them. You're just making it up as you go along. I wanna tape these conversations. Exposure And now another one, the one below it

2:07:05 We both liked it, but it's like who needs this mess? I mean is bad enough that the donations were so messy. The 1500 episode sign episodes without an exit strategy that one yeah Yeah, yeah with there It did reflect poorly on our professionalism Now I liked, I like both of the embossed things by Capitalist Agenda. They were nice yes You got the black roundy which i guess Roger did something to do with it That was beautiful what Roundy did And Roundy did one But it was too...I mean There's also Red Wing Dame Kenny Ben did one there is all these people...Roundy was the initiator It looks like and so everyone else

2:07:54 took off from it because it was classy and had a nice quality to it, but not as much as the 70s messy thing that we've picked. Now I always liked the microphones but Adam hates them. It's so corny! Yeah, I agree. I'm not going to disagree with the corniness And then... It's not even a microphone we use. Nobody uses!

Beef Initiative Tour in Luling, Texas

A recent tour of the Hometown Meats processing plant in Luling, Texas, showcased the Beef Initiative's efforts to localize food production. The event was attended by numerous No Agenda producers and featured tours of the USDA-approved facility and Black Angus herds. The gathering highlighted the intersection of the podcast community and the decentralized ranching movement.

2:09:29 And not how many people are listening, that's all of that information is bullcrap anyway. But it does turn out... that a large amount of people use the Pocket Cast app, which is not yet Podcasting 2.0 compatible however I did have a chat with Matt over there at Automatic and they just open sourced it so if you're interested in adding things like oh i don't know the chapters so everyone can see the art uh you can put in a PR poll request and actually add that and be a part of the Podcasting 2.0 ecosystem ecosystem. I gotta keep that in there, our ecosystem and if not then go to newpodcastapps.com get one of the apps that does show it because there's many of them and thanks again noagendaartgenerator.com for all of our artists And i just want to say a big hello to everybody who we saw yesterday in Luling Texas where Hometown Meats opened their very first

David Icke Banned from the Netherlands

The Dutch government has banned David Icke from entering the Netherlands and the entire Schengen area, designating him a "level 3 terrorist threat." The ban was prompted by concerns over Icke's rhetoric, which critics label as anti-Semitic. The decision has sparked debate regarding free speech and the historical context of government censorship in the region.

Peerage Credits and Sustaining Producer Recognition

The knighting ceremony continues with credits for producers like Sir Lastro, who is set to appear on the History Channel series "Mountain Men: Ultimate Marksman." The hosts emphasize the importance of sustaining donations following the "PayPalpocalypse," which resulted in the loss of many recurring supporters. Producers are encouraged to list their official titles on professional platforms like IMDB.

We'll be thanking everyone $50 and above but the people who come in under 50 are never mentioned it's part of the deal it's also for anonymity so anything under 50 never gets read or mentioned we don't want to blow anyone's cover wink-wink

2:44:21 But it's a big deal and we saw how big of deal it was with the PayPalpocalypse when we lost some sustaining donors, and they did hurt. So we appreciate that. We'd love everyone to consider signing up for anything that is sustaining and of course free executive and associate executive producerships these titles are real Put it wherever they are recognized and appreciated, such as IMDB.

TikTok Gender Theories and NPR Abortion Audio

A TikTok creator's theory linking the gender binary to "white supremacy" and European colonization is critiqued for its ideological leanings. Separately, NPR is criticized for broadcasting the audio of an actual abortion procedure in Michigan, including the sound of vacuum suction. The broadcast is characterized as an attempt to "normalize" the procedure, leading to listener outrage.

This is a talk one of my tick-tock touches Mm-hmm some guy girl They them I'm not sure because it never says never says, I don't like figure it out Walking down the street and he's got a theory about genders And the whole thing is bullcrap because it's been it was Western civilization that created the whole gender scam It says it's a hoax The gender binary is a direct result of European colonization. And if we look globally and historically throughout the world, and the ways that people have existed and talked about gender... The idea of there only being two genders is a new concept that is directly linked to white supremacy.

2:46:08 I think NPR should be scouting over at TikTok. To catch guys like this, he's got the voice? Perfect voice! Got the right attitude... We should get him in for a sound test. Yeah. I'd like to. NPR is doing some groundbreaking stuff these days John. I'm not quite sure why but- Ah you're poaching my territory I see Am I am i? Is this the uh well I don't know. It's okay?

Al Sharpton Verbal Flubs and MSNBC Commentary

A brief clip of Al Sharpton on MSNBC features a verbal stumble regarding voter turnout and the Democratic Party's defensive position. While not as significant as his previous "resist rematch" gaffes, the clip is added to the show's collection of media flubs. The commentary focuses on the party's struggle to define its message ahead of the 2022 midterms.

2:47:48 Yeah, I think it's to normalize this. I'm really unsure why they're doing it. And I want to send my tote bag back to them! I am so outraged... Nasty isn't it? So I got a clip, yeah nasty for sure. I got a clip because i've been looking and looking and looking as you know I'm a big fan of Al Sharpton And he just has not flubbed He just hasn't made much flubs Yeah so I finally got something here I got a 12 second we can throw in the pile Really? It's not as good resist rematch but it's pretty good

2:48:25 On the defensive is whether it includes in that turnout, who it includes and who does not include. Are there specific voters the party needs? It's not that good I don't even know what he saying. That's good that you know what he said What is he doing? America... Oh wait this is this is so glad I stopped myself This has to be played and has to be understood. And I can't believe even that this is a thing, I had to look it up the clip came in this morning. I had to stop and am i hearing this correctly? On the heels of...I believe it was Friday where yet another huge fine for CVS and I believe Walgreens

CDC Softens Opioid Prescribing Guidelines

Despite a $12 billion settlement by Walmart, CVS, and Walgreens over the opioid crisis, the CDC has officially softened its prescribing guidelines for painkillers like oxycodone. The new recommendations remove the three-day limit for acute pain and drop the 90mg morphine equivalent dosage cap. Critics argue that relaxing these rules in the midst of a national addiction crisis is contradictory and dangerous.

cdc· opioids· cvs· walgreens· walmart· oxycodone

2:49:25 for basically being pill mills, for processing way too many opioids, for handing them out like candy. Let me see do I have that report still? This is the report, just 21 seconds. Breaking overnight a major settlement stemming from the opioid crisis Bloomberg reports Walmart CVS and Walgreens have agreed to pay around 12 billion dollars to settle thousands of lawsuits from state and local governments accusing them of mishandling the painkillers opioids are blamed for more than 500 thousand deaths in the US in the last 20 years okay so even though this is a faceless nameless corporation

2:50:06 And no executives or anyone making any decisions gets in any trouble. Lord knows where the money goes to, this $14 billion dollars but what you would think... It's always been your complaint Now based upon What we know about the opioid crisis, you just heard 500 000 people think to have been killed by illegal use of these drugs. What would make sense for our lawmakers or policy makers maybe more accurate in Washington DC regarding the prescription of opioids? what would make sense knowing that

2:50:49 There's over prescription going on and these companies have actually contributed to it And they're paying a fine and kind of getting off without any you know not much issue What if you were a policymaker? What would you want what me yes, you personally I find the CEO. I get the CEO Give him a big hefty fine and throw him in jail for 10 years how about moving forward Would you want legislation would you want tighter controls on? If I could get a lot of money from all these CEOs and see them in jail I wouldn't change anything Well, they didn't. They didn't follow your advice Your advice is don't change anything well the CDC actually did change We're gonna start with a major move by the CDC to battle the nation's prescription drug crisis The agency actually softening its guidelines yesterday for doctors who prescribe oxycodone and other opioid painkillers CDC says the new guidelines are designed to ensure that patients can get

2:51:45 compassionate and safe pain care. It's the first time the CDC has modified its recommendations since 2016." So we have an opioid crisis... Well, so this was just what you're doing here is you're presenting us with a switcheroo. You were going in one direction and these douchebags went in the other direction. I read from the press release information, the previous guidance from CDC succeeded in reducing inappropriate and dangerous prescribing some experts say So that was CVS, you know so and Walgreens. And they so that the guidance was helping to slow that down The new guidelines are designed to ensure that patients get compassionate and safe pain care You see

2:52:33 Now they won't, they won't prescribe these same guys won't prescribe ivermectin under any circumstance but this is okay. Right? Yes! You see the problem is because of the strict guidelines they had which were so strict that it cost billions of dollars for CVS and Walgreens and others who were over prescribing them, but they were so strict that it was only 14 billion in fines. This maybe fits into your thesis We need to have a lot more of this going on So we're going to relax the rules here are the relaxed three points CDC no longer is suggesting trying to limit opioid treatment for acute pain two three days

2:53:17 So the CDC previously recommended do not stay on opioids longer than three days. Yeah, otherwise you get addicted! Now they're dropping that recommendation to ensure compassionate pain care Point two The agency is dropping the specific recommendation that doctors avoid increasing dosage to a level equivalent to 90 milligrams of morphine per day So that means they want, so they're not going to tell doctors to increase dosage levels to over an equivalent of over 90 milligrams of morphine per day. More smack for you children! And finally for patients receiving higher doses of opioids the CDC is urging doctors do not abruptly halt treatment

2:54:18 These are drug dealers with drug dealer motives, drug dealer rules. They do not care about you or your children they care about money and this is the NBC Today show. To battle the nation's prescription drug crisis, the agency actually sought Wow. The way she presents it and the facts of even within their own presentation are contradictory.

2:55:14 You know, I would... We've only done this a couple of times. So i'm not going to do it today but let me give you a borderline clip of the day for digging that one up Well... You could have given me two clips No! No? Not today. I was just not in the mood But I'll tell ya this Dad was... I'm in the mood so that woman should be ashamed of herself This woman That was Savannah Guthrie Yes How about not just that woman, how about the whole industry? It's crazy. I am listening to that with sane ears and my brain goes this does not make sense! We need to combat the opioid crisis by easing the rules. Don't worry more than three days is no problem go over 90 milligrams of morphine equivalents it doesn't matter its good

2:59:18 It does wonders! Doctor's advice. Yes, it does! You feel distressed and you're just downing a lot of alcohol? Believe me that won't help Instead reach for some good old-fashioned H2O That sounds a little funny but always drink water when you feel anxious Water does improve our concentration. Water is more settling and if things start looking bad for your candidate or your party as results roll in, but I want you also to get moving you will process information a little bit differently and a little calmer if I can go for a walk.

UK War Game Program Yarrow for Power Outages

Leaked documents reveal that UK officials have "war-gamed" a blueprint called Program Yarrow to cope with potential week-long national power outages. The exercise anticipates severe disruptions to transport, food, and water supplies during the winter. The name "Yarrow" refers to a flowering plant known for wound healing, though the prospect of extended blackouts raises concerns about civil unrest and looting.

Skimpflation and Food Ingredient Substitution

"Skimpflation" is identified as a trend where food brands reformulate recipes with cheaper ingredients to offset rising costs. Examples include Smart Balance margarine reducing its vegetable oil content from 64% to 39% and other brands substituting sugar with high fructose corn syrup. A survey of 300 brands indicates that nearly two-thirds have recently changed their recipes, often resulting in lower product quality.

skimpflation· nbc news· margarine· high fructose corn syrup· canola oil

3:02:38 So that's the direct result of the energy crisis and, of course, a crisis because you know it's not stable at fossil fuel. And Putin has made all the everything go up and so we have inflation, we have shrinkflation but now NBC brings you skimpflation There may be a surprise waiting for you at the grocery store. Some companies are substituting ingredients in their products, often with cheaper ones. It's called skimpflation and it's stopping shoppers in their tracks. Yeah, it seems unfair. It is so hard to say up-to-date on exactly what's going into your food.

3:03:18 An anonymous survey of 300 large food and beverage brands showed that nearly two-thirds of them reformulated at least six recipes, 90% of them citing higher ingredient prices. Often water can be added and we also see basically a shifting to what are less expensive ingredients from sugar to high fructose corn syrup Take a look at these two packages of Smart Balance Margarine Look at the front They look identical Same weight Oh, I see it in very fine print. In the bottom left-hand corner this one says a 64% vegetable oil This one says it's 39 percent vegetable oil And its leaving customers with a poor taste in their mouths Some writing how to destroy a great product New formula is not an improvement and just simply gross So you gotta Hold on

3:04:15 This is a report you got from the news source? NBC. What was the product you're talking about? Margarine. Margarine has... margarines all oil!

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre delivers a series of remarks framing the 2022 midterms as a choice between "democratic integrity" and "MAGA Republicans." She struggles with the pronunciation of the word "philanthropic" during a press briefing. Her delivery is compared to reading a children's book, emphasizing a narrative of "darkest moments" and the need to protect the ballot.

3:06:12 He has been clear, clear, clear democracy is under assault and we cannot pretend otherwise. She said under salt. Democracy's under salt! It's under salt? We have to be very careful I wonder if it's under sea salt... Might be Florida Selle that's kind of expensive. Oh goodness okay Okay here she is JP2 continues The president will continue to call attention to the threat to democratic integrity and public safety posed by those who deny the document. So stop it, stop it! Deny? Yeah... So if you listen carefully It was a threat to democracy which is the meme that's going around by everyone I always highlight it Threat to Democracy, Threat to Democracy Yes I guess the word got out that we can't say that anymore

3:07:07 It's on the ballot now. Now it's on the ballot. Because it is so stupid, but she can't not say it so she almost says it and then switches. So start over and listen for that. The president will continue to call attention to the threat to democratic integrity and public safety posed by those who deny the documented truth about election result, and those who seek to undermine public faith in our system of government. Unfortunately we have seen mega-mega Republican officials who don't believe in the rule of law. They refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections, and they fan the flames of political violence through what they praise and what they refuse to condemn."

3:07:56 It remains important for the president to state strongly and unequivocally that violence has no place in our democracy. He believes other leaders of both parties on both sides have a responsibility to communicate this very clearly as well." The president has been emphatic and optimistic that Americans care about protecting our democracy. He has consistently talked about the fact that America has emerged stronger from some of our darkest moments, and today there are far more Americans of every background and every belief... It almost sounds like she's reading a children's book doesn't it?

3:08:40 She's getting to the end here, and it's far away in a land where children could believe. America has emerged stronger from some of our darkest moments and today there are far more Americans... That right there! Far more Americans... Totally you nailed it. ...of every background and every belief. See spot run see See Spot, be Joe. See Joe run! And today there are far more Americans of every background and every... See Joe sniff Jane's. And today there are far more Americans of every background and every belief who reject the dangerous path of political violence than accept it

3:09:28 The president will continue to speak about the challenges facing our democracy and his enduring belief that America will persevere. Oh man, how tedious was that Jean-Pierre? Pretty bad now here she is like this last clip is a two second clip of her trying to pronounce it...pronounce...trying to pronounce the word philanthropic. Philanthropic leaders Kind of sucks when you're set up when you stumble over your own words is the setup job good try feel like feeling something philanthropic philanthropic philanthropic for the philanthropic Yeah, does she know what it means? It's a theme for our show. I like it I also have a super cut yeah this was stolen from Tucker show oh

Media Supercut on Republican Crime Messaging

A media supercut highlights the Democratic and mainstream media narrative that Republican focus on crime is "racist rhetoric" and "fear-mongering." Critics argue that Republicans are weaponizing security camera footage to scare suburban voters. Conversely, the messaging from Fox News is characterized as a repetitive cycle of "border crisis, crime, and inflation" to drive voter anxiety.

crime· republicans· fox news· msnbc· midterm elections

3:10:18 They're harping on the fact that Republicans have got nothing to do. The Democrats are running on a concept, threat to democracy. It's an idea and it has nothing to do with anything. It is on the ballot! And the Republicans are just harping on crime And this is no good because the Republicans haven't got any new ideas. So here we go with the supercut on crime. There's a major concern surrounding the racist rhetoric that often goes hand in glove with law and order messages. The Republicans are pulling out all

3:10:57 all the old fear and loathing playbook trying to scare voters about crime. They're not concerned about voter safety there they just want to keep voters scared. They have now turned to a strategy that sensationalizes crime, that weaponizes crime and that racializes The other guys play the crime card relentlessly and shamelessly. It's got racial elements to it, let's just call that for what it is. A type of crime that scares Republican and independent voters the most to make them believe the crime is skyrocketing, that America is a hellhole. And the thing is... it works. Dystopian, nakedly racist video preferably grainy security cam footage featuring almost exclusively black people committing crime in big cities. Clearly this is major news this is a former president of the United States getting subpoenaed while this huge news event was breaking

3:11:53 What was Fox News airing? Crime, crime, crime. Crime inflation immigration that's all they do all day every day just going right to the fears of the American people. We saw JD Vance harping on the issue of crime and and linking it to things like illegal immigration. Those are the types of issues, the things that drive fear. They're just coming straight out and especially during election time we see it's the caravans again, it's the fear of immigrants. They were scaring suburban white women with caravans coming into their neighborhood You turn on Fox News anytime a day, any day of the week there are three messages on repeat The border crisis Crime on the rise And inflation

2022 Midterm Election Predictions

Predictions for the 2022 midterm elections suggest Republicans will easily recapture the House of Representatives, while the Senate remains a toss-up. Despite his health challenges, John Fetterman is predicted by some to win the Pennsylvania Senate seat due to the state's political leanings. The hosts anticipate a significant "freak out" from mainstream media outlets like CNN and MSNBC if a "Red Wave" occurs.

3:12:35 Oh goodness. Hey, so we might as well just discuss it real quickly right now what do you think Tuesday? We don't have a show until Thursday will this be the red wave will we see what are we gonna say happening will there will the Republicans recapture the House and the Senate I think they'll recapture the house pretty effortlessly The Senate...I stink tell they're gonna grab the Senate by maybe two votes to seats With Federman? With Federman in, come on. I don't think so. I mean Pennsylvania is stupid but they're not that stupid But come on for the show If Federman got it it would be great for the show but I can't make predictions based on what's good for this show I could by wouldn't be right I don't see Federman getting in

3:13:25 I say Fetterman gets in. I think Pennsylvania is insane, they put such a focus on it they need to show that Joe can carry a state! That may be the reason that they focused on it you brought up early in the show why Pennsylvania? Maybe its just because thats the only state they think they can do and I would say they will do everything they can to make sure it happens Which means they rig it. Yeah, yeah it's possible I'm not gonna say...I won't be stunned if he wins but I will say this I would like to what I'd love to be watching the probably CNN less so than MSNBC as they freak out by any Republican that takes a Democrat out of the picture We have taken all of Tuesday off Not only just to vote but to make sure we are watching The Freak Out in real time

End of Show Mix and Mayor Eric Adams Parody

The episode ends with a satirical mix featuring a parody of New York City Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul. The segment mocks the city's vaccine mandates and the Governor's attempt to appeal a court ruling against quarantine regulations. The parody highlights the political tension in New York ahead of the gubernatorial election between Hochul and Lee Zeldin.

3:35:10 Hi, brother. What you got? Oh yeah, and the show isos that's right forgot We're already at the ISO let me see where's your eyes so I saw I saw I say well here's his eyes Okay, I'm gonna play your eye so first hi good night everybody Should be the winner honestly, but yes dad is Federman introducing himself I think that shouldn't although we probably should have done it on the last show But I'll accept it Let me try mine this is why you're not in charge Wait, I have more. Transparent information! We got a thing! No, I think you win by a landslide on that one Okay, I'm take it

3:35:57 Even though it's like low-hanging fruit. It is low hanging fruit That's why I used to you don't see me with a selection. I just had the one yeah, this is a good point and People who do their own podcast need to understand this sometimes Low-hanging fruit is just the place to be that's the way to go You just want to be in the pocket? That's just where you want to do it and I would say That concludes our broadcast day. I think so oh We have end of show mixes from the very own Cliff Custodian and Neil Jones, and we have a Jesse Coy Nelson. Let me take a look and see what's coming up next on NoahJenderstry.com Oh! It's another live show battle of the douchebags This is the final the final the FINAL SHOWDOWN OF THE DOUCHEBAGS

3:36:50 Uh, Boobury Lavish, Kretch, Rob Dueser, Bemrose Tom Starkweather and as always Sir Seatsitter It's a bonanza! It's a good show. It's a great show And uh I look forward to who's going to be the ultimate douchebag. We return of course on Thursday with another episode of The Best Podcast in the Universe Thank you for being the producers who make it all happen and continue to make it happen Coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country, FEMA Region number 6 In the morning everybody! I'm Adam Curry And from Northern Silicon Valley where looks like we're gonna have rain

3:37:27 and good rain. I'm John C. Dvorak. We return on Thursday right here on NO Agenda, remember us at dvorak dot org slash NA until then adios mofos and such and hooey hooey! Everybody's gonna cut himself a nice fat slice. You forgot one detail, Mr. Bigshot... you forgot me! The Frye Stooge of the world. Hold on a minute young man hold on that's rather big talk. We're through deciding anything. Get off that righteous horse of yours and come to your senses. You're the fake we believe in what we are doing. You're the one who was paid 30 pieces of silver have you forgotten that?

3:38:11 Well, I haven't. You're the big hero that's supposed to jump off tall buildings and things! You sit there back at your brick cigars and think of deliberately killing an idea that has made millions of people a little bit happier... An idea that brought thousands here from all over the country by bus and by freight in jalopies and on foot so they could pass onto each other their own simple little experience Why look? I'm just a mug and i know it, but im beginning to understand alot of things. Why your types as old as history if you can't lay your dirty fingers on a decent idea and twist it and squeeze it and stuff into your own pocket you slam it down! Like dogs if ya cant eat something ya bury it! Why this is the one worthwhile thing that's come along people are finally finding out that the guy next door isn't a bad egg

3:39:05 A thing like that's got a chance of spreading till it touches every last dog gone human being on the world and you talk about killing them. Boy, when this fire dies down what's gonna be left? More misery more hunger and more hate And what to prevent that from starting all over again Nobody knows the answer to that one and certainly not you with those slimy bollocked up theories you've got Sit back there on your fat pokes and tell me you'll kill it if you can't use it. Well, you go ahead and try! You couldn't do it in a million years with all your radio stations and all your power because its bigger than whether I'm a fake It's bigger than your ambitions And is bigger than all the bracelets of pork hoes in the world. You bet it is John! And that's exactly what I am going down there to tell those people. You know I'm a bad boy

3:40:00 Don't let me start talking. I'm the law, sir! You hear me? Because I will bring a light called truth... That will expose your skinny butts and your wickedness and your dark shadows. You hear me? But that still ain't gonna stop me from getting you!

3:40:45 I'm coming for you nonetheless! Don't you ever forget it. It is almost election day in New York City. Y'all can't vote for the mayor this time though, y'all are still stuck with me! But when you vote for governor remember Democrats get stuff done Governor Kathy Hoku passed a regulation to quarantine anybody who got the cool using the police, but the New York Supreme Court said it was unconstitutional. They stepped on her swagger like they done to Tia Mayer! But HOCO is appealing so the government can imprison the sick track down their friends and family and search they crib and phone all of course for public health

3:41:40 I am still appealing to keep my Vax mandate for city workers. That is why me and Kathy Hoku make a perfect team! We unconstitutional! Please do not make me work with Lee Zeldin, he anti-mandate and anti-crime! Nah chill! If y'all vote for Lee Zeldin imma have too much paper Hi, good night everybody.
