00:00 These guys are dumb. Adam Curry, John C. Dvorak It's Sunday November 20th 2022 this is your award winning Give On Nation Media assassination episode 1505 This is no agenda Surviving the lake effect and broadcasting live from the heart of the Texas hill country here in funeral region number six In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry And from northern Silicon Valley where Cal beats Stanford I am John C. Dvorak It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Yes, they beat it because of the lake effect I hear. Yes exactly Have you ever heard... have we ever discussed the lake effect? I don't know very familiar with it Oh, I don't remember it as a term oh it's been forever oh well it's back turning now to a massive and dangerous lake effect storm moving from the Great Lakes Has there ever been massive in dangerous though is the question

00:58 They're always nasty. No, massive and dangerous. Massive and dangerous? Turning now to a massive and dangerous lake effect storm moving from the Great Lakes to the Northeast several feet of snow is likely across multiple states The storm is already being blamed for at least two deaths and there are reports of a partial building collapse just south of Buffalo. The snow is expected to pile up across the Great Lakes region through the weekend, and nationally below normal temperatures are forecast from the Pacific Northwest to the East Coast and as far south as Texas Global warming! Exactly, and since you're into sports... A lot of us are going to be watching football this weekend. The Buffalo Bills were supposed to play the Detroit Lions in Buffalo this weekend. The game has been moved

01:47 A Buffalo Bills game has been moved because of snow. That says it all! If that tells you anything about what we're looking at, that actually brings us to our big number this blinding snowstorm that's supposed to be coming here now but 25 below those are some of the wind chills expected as they sweep through parts The northern Rockies and plains today, some of the coldest temperatures so far this season. All of this just going into really a rough weekend of weather and yes the Buffalo that whole area Western New York is a bit of a mess right now Lake effect snow I've been listening to Ginger Zee and Rob Marciano Yes! I always love it when they have to do news stories about COP 27 while it's 25 below in Buffalo What's funny is this Buffalo Bill's team which isn't buffalo duh Yeah

02:33 They play in the snow, you play in the snow in these areas. But they showed a picture of this stadium it's like 10 feet of snow! I know! It's great! Throw the ball and would land on top of a snow bank just go grab it. I mean it's just hilarious they should try... Yeah, it's really good. So you know of course this is all very annoying... I have my COP 27. Oh no, no! I'm leading you right into it. Thank you. Yes first we have to listen to the president who says you don't have to worry about and this is happening everywhere in Europe they're now expecting a very cold winter Of course there will be the lake effect from that Lake over there the North Sea And what was that?

03:19 It was... we know about Germany, there was something else. Oh yeah, the UK. They expect normal class families to not be able to... It's heat or eat is the slogan now in the UK. You can't eat! Heat or Eat it's horrible anyway. You can die! We have the same situation here of course only our president he's already figured out what to do we're saved 500 for new doors 2,000 install a heat pump 600 to replace electric panels. These are what, here's what this means if you're living in a home with the drafty windows and doors starting January 1 You'll be able to save up to $1100 of cost of replacing them And that's just on the upgrade You also gonna save a lot of money going forward because your utility bills will be lower That is good for your wallet but it is also good for the environment Because you are using less energy That's not all

04:20 If you want to install solar panels on the roof, you can get a tax credit for 30% of the cost. It'll bring down the cost from installation by about $7500 and when you get to keep savings money on your electric bills for the remainder of the year So the president's solution is hey just put some solar panels on your roof we'll give you thirty percent back after you funded it Hey, you want to upgrade your drafty leaky door? Why do you think Mr. President they have a drafty leaky door in the first place? You guys are idiots! Big idiot... Alright let's uh- Let's do your um... Well there is not much to it but I do have a bunch of cop clips Yeah yeah I wanna get some cop clips Um.. I don't even see them on here where'd they go?

05:15 Well now that's a good question. They're there cop your primus kids mix with CCC. Okay, I see yep Let's go with I only have two clips but they're important this is the rundown from the failure This is from PBS the US and other nations offered an 11th hour proposal to rescue UN climate talks from failure The focus was on compensating nations already being damaged by weather disasters reparations Bennett reports With climate talks nearing the end, the divisions only seem to be widening today as world leaders push past their initial deadline for reaching a deal. Today we need to shift gears again

05:56 Time is not on our side. Several climate issues are being debated at the annual United Nations summit, and questions surrounding the creation of potential loss-and-damage payments remain a major sticking point. The basic idea – wealthier nations which have long polluted the most should give money to poorer and developing nations affected by climate change Germany's foreign minister acknowledged the harmful impacts wealthy nations can create for vulnerable countries. Spending money is not an end in itself, it is about ensuring justice – climate justice because we are currently seeing that those who have contributed the least to it suffer the most from current climate damage

06:37 The talks were set to wrap today but have been pushed into the weekend as resolutions remain up in the air. A draft decision from the Egyptian presidency was released this morning outlining a potential plan, some were immediately critical saying it was vague and left out important priorities Among the key questions, whether a new fund for vulnerable nations would be tied to explicit commitments to phase out fossil fuels. The European Union surprised many overnight with this proposal but it did not appear in the drafts being debated today. This summit brought together some of the youngest climate activists to fight for their nations. Ah you caught the same thing I did! So first of all yeah... This seems to me the only reason for this summit as usual

07:26 And I think the number is a hundred billion and it's already set. We already saw the 100 billion, they just partied for a whole week and they just had to vote at the end who was going to get what that's what it was all about Who could put...who had the best party? Well, nobody's getting anything it looks like. The Chinese aren't gonna pony up and the Indians aren't gonna pony up and they're gonna keep polluting like crazy And so the Europeans are saying well you know it's cold here we're not going to cut fossil fuel for you So then they discovered as you've obviously found too...the new Greta Yes! Among them 10 year old Nakiat Dramani Sam from Ghana Have a hat and do the math

08:08 It is an emergency. If all of you were to be young people like me, wouldn't you have already agreed to do what is needed to save our planet? Her speech drew a standing ovation—a glimmer of hope for leaders trying to find unity in the coming days. Wow! My mind is blown! We both came up with a new Greta but two different Gretas You have a different Greta than my little African 10 year old? What's her age, what's your...what's her age? My...uhh hold on a second. Does your Greta have a Wikipedia page? I didn't bother to look. But she said Duda Mat which is a good African accent and she's cute. My Greta is 20

08:54 Oh, that's not Greta. Greta is 20! No but Greta this is...this is.... Now you have to have a 10 year old lecturing adults about saving the planet she doesn't even know what a planet is and then get a standing O My Greta lives in McLean Virginia She's a spook. Yes! Yes, my Greta is the best Greta I'm happy- okay standing ovation for Gudemads fine fine your little African Greta is no good this is the one who's gonna- she's dynamite to look at she's 20 uh graduate of Stanford

09:33 comes from Iran, has strong you know born in Iran now America. Greta has to be a child! Listen listen and the WAPO and everyone's all-in on her. Do you have anything to add? I love the science fiction reference. I think for me the biggest thing that i've really focused on is making sure that when we think about accountability we think about the fact Thinking of it through the lens of individual action is actually a very flawed perception And I think that too often young people feel like we need to think about like our carbon footprint and we need to think about all the ways that We need to act and think more sustainably, and I mean I wrote an op-ed for The Washington Post About how I live my student but I prefaced it by saying that the notion of the carbon footprint was designed by Fossil fuel companies and really peddled as a marketing scheme

10:23 Now before you justifiably criticize her, This, no you're right. I mean your absence is this she has none of the Greta Hallmarks but this is the intelligence version this is the deep state version she's everywhere in all the right places this is Washington Post live TV By the way does she uh I wonder if can't catch her because she had a shortness You should see the TED talk

11:20 And they've even dressed her. She has big feet, that's kind of a downer for her. She got big feet? She got big feet and they put white high heel pumps on her Wrong wrong wrong wrong Why'd they put a big clown foot on her But she comes from Greta's group Fridays For Future She also helped organize the 2019 Black Friday climate strike. They've been working this girl for a long time, she's a national strategist for Fridays For Future those are the ones with Zero Hour that went into Nancy Pelosi's office Extinction Rebellion she's a part of all of that and then she's in pictures with Nancy! That makes sense you want to put a spook in her? Yes! There she is with Jane Fonda

12:12 All on the wiki page. No, no, no. She's a dossier creator. Yes. She's writing... she doing book on these people? Yes! She do book for her. So anyway I like... I mean your Greta is more organic down with that absolutely but now man this is not... Greta cannot be an adult hello they're pushing hard she's like a Miss Tennessee really So she's more like... I'd rather her be like Miss South Carolina. And such? I do have a COP 27 report which goes over some of the same things. Today, historic step forward in addressing the effects of climate change in the developing world an agreement decades in the making A global fund to compensate poorer countries suffering climate disasters. Poor! Poor! I hear no objections it is so decided Yes

13:03 Thank you. are expected to be contributors to the so-called loss and damage funds. Vulnerable nations like Pakistan, ravaged by deadly flooding this summer will be the expected beneficiaries. What it can do is provide the financial resources that countries will need to rebuild after disasters, to help those who are migrating who are refugees, to help with food security challenges

13:46 President Biden addressed the summit on Friday. We see our mission to avert climate catastrophe not only as an imperative for our present and future, but through the eyes of history... Did you hear they had to edit him? They took the beginning of his sentence? Listen. ...avert climate catastrophe not only as an imperative for our present... Jump! ...and future but through the eyes of history. Oh, and another edit! Oh man they have to do four edits for 15 seconds. The US and other rich countries had resisted the idea of a fund for years fearing they could be sued for climate disasters. The new agreement takes away that potential legal liability. A show of unity from nations big and small to address a global crisis. Suckers

14:32 Don't worry, you won't be able to sue us. What was funny... yeah that's cute It was funny watching the show on PBS because the first clips they showed of Egypt which would be one of the countries that you know... They had some great shots of a mosque smogged in! It's like there were a bunch of pictures he couldn't see across the street But yeah, what a fiasco. So it's not lost on me that there are a lot of New World Order-like conferences going on right now at the same time we have the...of course COP 27 We have the G20 in Indonesia or if you're Indonesian it is the B20 What do those guys get off? Why did they get to call it B20 when its the G20

15:19 Because they own the venue and they can change the signage. By the way, every single guy from Indonesia all I can think is Obama It's really weird because he's from there. I mean basically his dad just they all look like Obama and then there's another one the Let me see what do they call this thing? This is the hydrogen world 2022 Now we've been following the Hydra... There's some, also some Russian thing is going on. Oh I haven't seen that! Yeah and i think a Chinese event but anyway go on there's a lot of events going on um gosh that really triggers me when you say that what no you when you say anyway but go on or go ahead put anyway go on yeah because that's what Kara Swisher does all the time

16:15 She'll come in with... Wow, and I never even watched that show. She probably picked it up from me. Telling you! I'm telling you. I blame her existence on YOU. You can-I think it's legit? It is very legit which... Yeah, I think it's very legit but anyway go on. You gotta listen to her do it, man. So we've been tracking the hydrogen ever since we heard Queen Ursula say hydrogen is the future! Green hydrogene now let's just review for a moment what the green hydrogen is that would be using renewable energy sources to create enough electrolysis to then have hydrogen as the gas, to put into combustion engines. Wait... instead of just digging a hole in the ground and pulling out free energy? Yes correct

17:08 You know, boiling it for a minute or two to break it up so you can use it for different things and paint out of everything else. Let's don't do that! And really right now the only sources... like nuclear energy is the only one that really applies because the windmills and the...you can't do this off a battery charge I think is the general idea green energy according to everybody in their own documents everywhere, we're at least a decade out. Would you say that's fair? At least a decade maybe two decades before it... I think we've been perpetually a decade out Well yeah exactly because it's very expensive to do it because you have to exactly generate a lot of electricity and the only way to do it is you know the traditional ways coal gas or nuclear

17:57 So it's dumb. It's so dumb! As you said, why not just get the free energy out of the ground? No we can't do that. Here is my boy Frans Timmermans he is the architect and executive vice president for the European Commission for Climate Change He is the guy behind the Green Deal in Europe The initial 500 billion euros already ready to be spent And he did a promo for the next event. So I just took his little sound bites out, so it's a little bit out of context but you'll hear how full of crap they are and this is the guy who was supposed to save us before 2030 shilling something that won't be done at least until 10 years from now

18:44 Hydrogen has a huge future. Our economy will be based on hydrogen, so we need to really quickly make sure we have the right capacity to produce enough hydrogen for Europe. I think the first priority is to make sure that we have enough electricity and green electricity so that we can actually power the electrolyzers. The second priority is to build enough electrolyzers and the third priority is to create the grid so we can get the hydrogen wherever it's needed Well, I mean ports have always been essential in commodities. This is a new commodity this is the commodity of the future and ports should concentrate on affording the investment to make sure these commodities can be part of their economic model

19:22 It's special because everyone involved in the hydrogen economy is now coming together. And so instead of staying in their own little corner, they're trying to make connections across the board and that's exactly what we need to be successful Well I think the most important thing is to take this message also to the public So that the public understand that hydrogen is the energy carrier for the future Dude! They just did a switch on us it was all electric-electric, electric gear grid DC grid Now he wants a hydrogen grid This is this was not sold to us. You know I was thinking about this as listening to that clip and listening to you

20:02 We've known about this, you brought up Queen Ursula introducing it. But where did this really stem from? Because I've been hearing about the hydrogen economy on and off and it's always been kind of lurking in the background when they talk about wind power and solar, wind and solar and clean energy and then hydrogen shows up. Where did this... What's the genesis? Somebody out there has to do a little research and send me a memo What's the genesis of this? When did this first... was in the 20s, was it in the 50s where did this come from and why and how and why now. Well if I were a scheming kind of guy I'd think hey we've been running this wind and solar thing for a while boys

20:51 It's running a little dry. We know it is totally running dry, you can't... I'm getting tired of saying Elon is going to make better batteries so I have a plan let's just say that with this stuff that we've created already successfully you can see it that were gonna make a hydrogen economy from that And then it'll give us another 10 years to soak it up. Soak it up, baby! Here's the other thing... The whole thing began I remember this is a at least 15 or years ago or so during the beginning of the show when they what the heck? What? Well, Zephyr has gone by this late hour Oh my goodness! Oh my God! Listen to that horn! Give me a count

21:37 That's seven. Seven cars, so steady as she goes into the abyss? Yes it is pretty much... So if I just at the beginning of this show I went and test drove a bunch of these uh... Cars? Fuel cell cars! They're all fuel cells. When did you when did you test drive them About 10, 15 years ago. It was just the beginning of the show I was given an invite to come over to do the track that only gave fuels Explain what a fuel... explain the different versions of hydrogen for propulsion There's two versions and one is a fuel cell which was a big deal And they fuel cell it was this little cell it was invented in the all these technologies were invented in the 1800s Which you always have to remember that batteries were

22:23 not only invented but perfected and pretty much the technology we use today is all old technology because they were jacked up about batteries back in the day, and they did everything they could. All now every year oh we got a new membrane we can use it's best we can do is tweak it. But anyway so this fuel cells which was an old technology, the hydrogen goes through this through this membrane and some other things. I'm not absolutely sure how it works, but it turns the hydrogen going through in this process into electricity and the electricity drives the car. And then that's one technology and that's when I test them those are ones that I've talked about on the show before that when you punch it really floor it they scream. In a good way? But isn't it good way like vroom! Like its cool

23:15 I don't know that it's a good way or not, it just they're screaming. They make a racket but its the screaming sound... I think it's annoying personally. And then the other one, which is what they're headed toward now is the hydrogen combustion engine, which just works like a gas engine and it's just the hydrogen used as the fuel and that's the one that are... One of our producers who had one of these cars was made by Toyota made both the fuel cells and they made this other ones where you punch it and buncha water flies out the exhaust pipe. This is funny. And soon to be augmented with some hog urine, oh got a bad blue with that hydrogen I think it's true actually I think there's something else that comes out besides just water? They claim according to the

24:10 It's hard to keep up with this because it has been dragging along starting with the fuel cells which weren't going to work. I drove seven or eight cars with fuel cells in them and they make too much noise, a screaming sound is just annoying. They don't really have the torque of just a battery electric car which can really get out of there I don't know. The whole thing seems like it just showed up 10-15 years ago and they've been dicking around with it, dicking around with it trying to promote it They say well you know one good thing is you can put an airplane in it You can run an airplane on hydrogen. You can't do that with battery No At least not for more than 15 minutes Okay so I could totally see where the hydrogen guys which

25:03 Wouldn't that be basically big oil? The hydrogen guys went, you know we're going to push it back against this electrical bullcrap. 15 years ago would make sense and then they killed it or got killed and now they're coming back because they see that you know it's dry And I think that's why you see a Frans Timmermans switching Because I can pull up clips from when he first came out with this which has gotta be three years ago...I should do that And there's no mention of hydrogen, green hydrogen. No! It's all new so I think everyone... Well remember when it first showed up it was like the hydrogen economy we heard that but we paid-I don't think we paid much attention to it either and then all of a sudden they've just turned on the spigot this is very fishy to me

25:52 Hydrogen was never, in fact even during the fuel cell era which was really popular for about a year they were talking about fuel cells. All they talked about and when I went to this meeting all they talked about was how much hydrogen can you get in tank and what happens if it blows up because 10 thousand pounds per square inch you have to get that much hydrogen in the tank is still not enough And the tanks are under your seat, you know. And what are going to happen if the thing blows? Now we got these new tank technologies that's all they talked about was the tanks and the storage of the hydrogen and what happens if it gets hit by a truck? What happens? Are you a pinto on steroids?

26:32 And then they'd claim that, no these tanks are bulletproof kind of thing and I don't know. I just find the whole thing peculiar and I still like to know the genesis of it. Oh were you John at Dvorak dot org? You're gonna get messages Yes! John at Dvorak dot org send me what ya know We have the best producers for stuff like this we have somebody out there who knows the whole thing he's right now rolling his eyes going these guys are dumb That's what he is doing. Yep, pretty much we're used to it no worries we appreciate it so then we had the big G20 B-20 as you will and the White House published on whitehouse.gov The 22 page document g20 Bali leaders declaration and this has caused a little bit of consternation I think people are looking at the wrong thing but I'd like to just actually

27:28 I printed out the document and just highlighted a couple things. You want to go through that? Just a couple of these, because what it tells us is how they're thinking. I don't know if they're going to do it all but this is what came out of this whole big meeting and what really became apparent to me It's like climate change that has so many committees and subunits and steering committees, boards of important people and leadership stuff. All this money is just flowing all over the place And everyone's just trying to represent, I think their own commercial interests which is why a lot of this won't come to fruition. But this is just short clip with the health minister Indonesia and he kind of set the tone for one of the major agreements in the G20 Bali leaders declaration So let's have digital health certificate acknowledged by WHO if you have been vaccinated or tested properly then you can move around

28:29 So for the next pandemic, instead of stopping the movement of people 100%, which clogged the economy globally you can still provide some movement to other people. Indonesia has achieved G20 countries have agreed to have this digital certificate using WHO standards and we will submit it into the World Health Assembly in Geneva as a revision to international health regulation. So hopefully for the next pandemic, we can still see some movement of the people, some movement of goods and movement of economy." For the next pandemic? Like that happens just every year! Well they've tried to make it happen more than it actually happens. Yeah thats true But it happens about once every hundred years. Yeah but he said for the next pandemic we need vaccine passports

29:25 And of course, to bring this up. Well so we'll get to it in this document but the vaccine passports they all agree that this needs to happen but they're all saying we need to have a global standard which to me means oh okay bye IBM wants to be the global standard, Microsoft wants to be the global standard. I'm sure China has some more... Thank God nobody can agree on the global standards No interop! Yes exactly thank god for patents really thank god for that it's gonna save us because everyone wants to and they also had a patent discussion at the G20 so but that i think is a red herring because this document is not so much about vaccines as about food

30:13 The thing is, it's really about food and finance. And they start off by just marking what this is about 14 years ago the leaders of the G20 met for the first time facing the most severe financial crisis in our generation and like hey we're back again! Now we've got serious global economic challenges so they are not talking about economic challenges that these have hindered the achievement of sustainable development goals I don't know if anyone's ever read the Sustainable Development Goals, and we've discussed it from time to time. But they're insane! Wouldn't you agree? These people are insane... This year we have also witnessed the war in Ukraine further adversely impact the global economy There was a discussion on this issue

31:08 I'll bet there was most members strongly condemned the war in Ukraine and stress. Oh, I condemn the war Yeah Can they did does anyone bring up the fact that those United Nations? Was set up you know what 70 years ago to prevent this sort of thing from happening And then when it happens they didn't absolutely nothing seems to be done about it or can be done about us So the whole thing was a sham that might have been in the discussion portion of the agenda They didn't put it in their report But of course, besides human suffering and exacerbating existing fragilities in the global economy it's constraining growth. It's increasing inflation. It's disrupting supply chains heightening energy and food insecurity elevating financial stability risks I mean that Putin... That Putin! So they have a new slogan Build Back Better is Out And they did not consult the Curry-Dvorak consulting group

32:05 Their new slogan is recover together, recover stronger. Oh my god! What a piece of crap that is huh? Oh man that's terrible I don't understand how bad they can do this Build back better was better They could have gone to build back better better and it would have been better than that So they have three points here that they're going to do to recover together and stronger. They will ensure long-term fiscal sustainability with our central banks committed to achieving price stability

32:43 Uh-huh, that's what I said. They will protect macroeconomic and financial stability and remain committed to using all available tools to mitigate downside risk noting the steps taken since the global financial crisis to strengthen financial resilience and promote sustainable finance and capital flows. I think that means print money And the third one, take action to promote food and energy security and support stability of markets. And they intend to do this by providing temporary and targeted support to cushion the impact of price increases strengthening the dialogue between producers and consumers. Hey you shitheads are ripping us off! I think that's what they mean

33:32 Increasing trade and investment for long-term food and energy security needs blah blah. Oh, yeah sustainable food Why do they even have these meetings? For the drinking I guess yes for the drink right before the drinking there's some nice bars there um in Egypt No, Indonesia. Have you been to Bali? I haven't been to Bali but I've been to Jakarta and I've been to the bars there in their dynamite which is interesting it's a Muslim country so one of the as the Muslims would say something we're Muslims who drink and they drink We will take further coordinated actions to address food security challenges including price surges and shortage of food commodities and fertilizers globally. They're basically saying, look we're gonna have to pay for it because our people are going to starve. This is another attempt to gouge the American taxpayer? Yeah I would say so

34:29 Every time we turn around, all these meetings are about nothing more than trying to gouge the American taxpayer. And then you have the dopes like Biden and they're giving away money Now we've heard about the Black Sea grain initiative This is the grain shipments that there was some negotiation about Wasn't that just an initiative to make sure that ships get through the black sea without getting blowed up? Yeah but this was a negotiation with Russia Yeah. It's very interesting and of course this was a Turkey and UN brokered Istanbul agreement that put the Black Sea Grain Initiative into place so Turkey has some hand in this, I'm not sure how exactly they will continue to strengthen the agricultural market information systems

35:25 as an early warning tool to enhance food and fertilizer inputs, market transparency and reduce certain market uncertainty. So I guess they're going have an IT solution to this somehow monitoring the cows. The more you go into this, the stupider it sounds we are just a bunch of what is this they go on it's just a bunch of virtue signaling in that end up with the highest order We're gonna do this and we're gonna make sure that works and we're gonna ensure this and we're going to ensure that I can't do Jack. We have a new slogan as we welcome the progress to date towards achieving a post-2020 global biodiversity framework, hello! Biodiversity back on deck

36:11 I mean, we've had the jingle for what? A decade?! And the initiative is 2050 vision of living in harmony with nature as 30% of all land and all sea must be returned to the biodiversity framework so that by 2030... So that they are protected. 30 percent of the ocean That's... do they realize how big that is? I think that's rather big. Then we have, we recognize this is the interesting part here We're getting to the end. We recognize- Wait! Do they ever in there suggest planting a tree No no I did not able to find tree planting I think that went away of the battery guys You'd think that would be something you want encourage but okay They already did with the Trillion Tree Initiative and it was a dud

37:09 We recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good and we will advance our effort to ensure timely, equitable and universal access to safe affordable quality and effective vaccines therapeutics and diagnosis. Safe and effective? Is the word safe and effective in there? Yeah! Safe affordable quality and effective The safe affordable, oh okay. They've added a couple of things. So Pfizer was represented at the event? Oh yeah of course. Probably more than once. They will also continue with global pathogen surveillance but just so we're clear here... Is there anything about various state actors creating labs that develop some of these pathogens for

38:00 biowarfare purposes and maybe should be abolished was that in there? I think that falls under the global pathogen surveillance. That's gonna fund more of that but please take note they say we recognize that the extensive COVID-19 immunization is a global public good bullshit You don't get to recognize that when Al Roker has blood clots in his legs and his lungs? Poor Al. No, I didn't know Al Roker had all these blood clots Yeah it's brand new he's been off the show for two weeks in the hospital Yep yep yep He is of course a triple- I had a dream Triple and triple three and three you had a dream I Had a dream mm-hmm that Schwarzenegger died man It was somehow related to the Vax really

38:50 Out of the blue is crazy. I woke up with it what Schwarzenegger's dead? This would be the best Redbook entry ever! I mean, this would be a helluva call! Day record for Arnie but... Now we support the World Health Organization mRNA vaccine technology transfer hub as well as all the spokes in all regions of the world with the objective of sharing technology and technical know-how. So this entire G20 has been coopted by this bullshit? Oh yeah, oh yeah... Holy mackerel! Now you buried the lead here No I was leading up to it It's called a tension arc

39:34 We acknowledge the importance of shared technical standards and verification methods under the framework of the International Health Regulations 2005, which is what you just heard the health minister refer to. To facilitate seamless international travel interoperability and recognizing digital solutions and non-digital solutions including proof of vaccinations so They support proof of vaccination for travel. We support continued international dialogue and collaboration on the establishment of trusted global digital health networks as part of the efforts to strengthen prevention and response to future pandemics, that should capitalize and build on the success of existing standards in digital COVID-19 certificates." It was so successful! For them apparently...

40:32 The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the transformation of the digital ecosystem, of course they would say ecosystem and digital economy. Now John I don't understand were you provided with a memo about said digital transformation? No! Well it's been accelerated And we recognize the importance of digital transformation in reaching these sustainable development goals.

41:11 We acknowledge that affordable and high quality digital connectivity is essential for digital inclusion and digital transformation. And there was anything in there about chipping, chipping the humans? Well in a way... A little chip in the palm so you can use that instead of your credit card? That's a good one! Well we continue to support continued implementation of the G20 roadmap for enhancing cross-border payments We encourage central banks and other public authorities and payment industries to continue to work collaboratively on these important initiatives, to enhance cross-border payments. And we also welcome the joint report by the Bank of International Settlements, International Monetary Fund and The World Bank on options for access to interoperability of these central bank digital currencies for cross border payments

42:01 stuff that's never going to appear. There is no evidence that will ever appear. Let me see... Temporary targeted measures to help sustaining the purchasing power of the most vulnerable and cushioning impact on commodity prices, so they're going to inject money recognizing that many currencies have moved significantly this year with increased volatility, we reaffirmed... certainly the FTT token was volatile. We reaffirmed the commitments made on exchange rates by our finance ministers and central bank governors in April of 2021." What was that? Did they agree to fix the exchange rates? That's what they always do – fix it! Well, they're fixing it

42:45 Let's see, was there anything else? Fixed as in rigged. Yeah we look forward to further progress by the IMF and operationalizing the integrated policy framework with the Bank of International Settlements for continued exploration of CBDCs. Okay you've gone too long. Special drawing rights financial stability board a global stable coin yep I mean I just want just need to let you know that it's all in there and I think along with Along with that would go, hold on a second where is it? Would go this little ditty from CNBC. This is you know the visa the CEO visa stepping down

43:27 And so they had the new CEO, he's 65. He's done They have the new CEO coming in and they were talking on CNBC about the future of Visa One good thing that comes out of this Just coincidentally FTX disaster for their investors and their employees is that we see an acceleration towards regulation and leaning into goods stablecoin regulation because I think that is what's necessary to build back confidence for people and we'll see over time. We are setting up for the reality of crypto potentially having a role in payments and money movement you know we don't pick winners or losers, we ultimately let the consumer and they experience decide but we're creating on-and-off ramps for crypto players putting Visa cards in wallets being able to convert this stable

44:14 to a fiat currency and be able to use their Visa card to shop anywhere they want to shop. We're even working on being able to settle with the merchant at the end of the day who wants to get settled in a stable coin versus settled in currency, so we'll see what happens over time but I hope this terrorist attack event forces a more acceleration in regulation. But Ryan, to the extent this is going to evolve under your leadership in a significant way when it comes to stablecoins for example if Visa is offering it as an option are we assuming should the customer assume you've done the due diligence to make sure for example that everything in reserve is what they say it is? Yeah let's first regulations key I think we can all agree on that hopefully accelerates we want to be involved

44:58 in any way that people want to pay and be paid. And to the extent that stable coins are a great way to do that, in a well-regulated environment and you know two businesses wanna engage in cross border payments using stable coins? Yeah we wanna be involved with that and we wanna help! We only get involved with things where our brand is going to ensure that people ensure it's safe, secure and also easy. I don't know there something going on those are big networks talking about stuff So I don't know what's going on that there is a great a great story out about FTX This this was and i'll just give you the highlights because it blowing my mind

45:36 So FTX, apparently this money laundering operation has just been sending money everywhere they can for any kind of edge. Certainly for buying up companies that have regulation I think we talked about that you know they buy 10% here by a whole company there and they put it under the heading of two billion dollars of compliance acquisition or regulatory acquisitions just to get regulatory paperwork yeah but Now this came from the Brownstone Institute. Early this year, The New York Times trumpeted a study that showed no benefit at all to the use of ivermectin It was definitive But who funded this study? And it's right there on the on the study page. It was funded by FTX and FTX is all over debunking and getting rid of Ivermectin They're paying for these studies

46:40 This takes it to a whole new level. Wow, that's pretty weird so in other words there is some Pfizer angle here? Who knows! It takes it to a whole... Or some angle to...some pharma angle because the problem with just reiterate the problem with Ivermectin is that there are plenty of studies that show that its very effective and reducing this and that. But the problem with ivermectin is we always have to get back to it's cost like a nickel a pill as opposed to five bucks or ten, and so Ivermectin no good. It couldn't be even considered because it's too cheap and the entire medical system in this country has completely corrupted now.

47:22 And of course, I took ivermectin twice. I don't know if it helped or maybe better but certainly didn't die and didn't have to go to the hospital so I felt good about it. Its use for COVID-19 would be off label and this is what medical establishment used to say well no you can prescribe that even more egregious is that the CDC, the CDC is now saying hey we didn't tell you that you couldn't take Ivermectin it was just a recommendation. These a-holes are trying to backpedal on that, but of course the FDA was really the one that went after the medical boards and created this you can't do it because for the very reasons you just mentioned. It's too cheap to be made generically

48:16 But again, it's an off-label use and you know off label is no it's too cheap to be used That's not to be made generically to be used by people. I'm sorry to be sold yeah exactly because then anybody could sell it for pennies And but you know off label use even the hormone blockers that they're giving the children Are an off label use of a different drug? Yeah, that's a good point um, and there's There is and I caught this and I think I mentioned it because I heard it in the ad. I said something's going on with this I was singing the jingle And that's why I noticed that they had added language to the commercial you were singing what jingle Oh, oh, oh, oh Zampic. This is something a medical headline. This is something you talked about this

49:02 a particular drug there's a shortage of it because people are using it for reasons that wasn't meant to be used. Right, and its getting a whole lot of attention TJ so I wanted to break it down this is the drug called Ozempic this is a drug to treat type 2 diabetes but the class, the generic version uh... the class known as semaglutide got an FDA approval for weight loss and now demand is going through the roof This drug works by helping to control blood sugar, but it also slows the emptying of the food in the stomach and so it drops people's appetite dramatically. People are losing a lot of weight on this. Of course like many drugs that is being used on label as well off-label. Typically people start with a low dose injection once a week and then go up slightly in dosage

49:49 Like any drug, it can have some side effects. Mild GI side effects like nausea and vomiting but incredibly effective for treating the conditions of overweight and obesity It comes with a major price tag up to $800 or even over $1000 dollars per month if it's not covered by insurance I do have patients whose insurance cover it and then it can be $25 a month but everyone is trying to get their hands on this drug right now. So nice ad Dr. Jen, its effective minor side effects its all good yeah it's expensive but hey man everyone that gets their hands on it all the cool kids are doing this drug and this is the solution to America's problem

50:31 Don't worry about eating healthier. Keep eating the garbage and just take your shot every week, and it's amazing! It's ideal. It's amazing! Now listen to the commercial. People with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once weekly ozempic in a study with those epic a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an A1c Of less than 7 and maintained. Oh under seven, and you may lose weight In the same one year study adults lost on average up to 12 pounds Oh, up to 12 pounds. A two-year study showed that Ozempic does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack stroke or death. Oh no increased risk? Ozempic should not be the first medicine for treating diabetes or for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis do not share needles or pens

51:21 Don't reuse needles. Do not take Ozempic if you have a personal or family history of medullary thyroid cancer, multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2 or if you are allergic to Ozempic. Stop taking Ozempic and get medical help right away If you get a lump or swelling in your neck severe stomach pain. Fetterman. Trouble breathing, serious side effects may happen including pancreatitis. Oh! Tell your doctor if... Why Dr. Jen didn't tell me about pancreatitis or the lump in my neck? You have diabetic retinopathy. Noooo! Taking ozempic with a sulfonylurea or insulin may increase the risk for low blood sugar Common side effects are nausea vomiting diarrhea stomach pain and constipation Some side effects can lead to dehydration which may worsen kidney problems I discovered the potential with Ozempic

52:06 Ooooooooh, Ozempic! If eligible you may pay as little as $25 per prescription. Ask your health care provider today about once weekly Ozempic There's your 25 dollars so they got some vibe going A lot of these companies will sell it to ya if you're right to em and I think you have to give blood every week Do some experiments but you get it So this is how sick these people are Oh we can sell it for a thousand dollars a month Huh, now it's let's get some approval. Off-label! It's a miracle! Shame on these horrible people." The whole medical establishment is corrupted and this is unbelievable. This is what kills me we've had admitted vaccinations out there for billions of people admitted not effective possibly not safe that isn't completely admitted by all of the powers that be

53:05 But there certainly were a lot of mistakes made and a lot of, oh we're sorry and no well okay. And now Pfizer and Moderna whoa you gotta go do some investigation on this myocarditis thing! Nobody nobody gets in trouble nobody goes to jail But the Steve Jobs chick? Tonight, the founder of the failed blood testing company Theranos has been sentenced to more than 11 years in prison. Elizabeth Holmes was convicted of fraud and conspiracy earlier this year for misleading investors and endangering patients with a bogus blood-testing technology. Holmes now 38 and expecting her second child had requested home confinement Now who endangered who in the last five years?

53:51 Well, if you're gonna go for relativism I think you made a point. But it's good they at least caught someone! This is the new Martha Stewart, y'know? She's the Martha Stewart of Big Pharma. No she's uptight... this girl is a little bit off her rocker. But the thing is she's going to jail for 11 years because a bunch of so-called smart old horny dudes fell for it Oh, I know and there's no excuse for that part of it George Schultz and all a bunch of these guys, a whole slew of them. Do I have a thing on Holmes? Mad Dog Mattis! Oh man my favorite yeah mad dog Mattis the guy who turned on Trump

54:28 There's it what he was the head of the military Defense Department at time is the head of Trump's Staff is that you national? Oh, yeah. Yes, right He wasn't even check and then he just wanted a very oh well You know I'm gonna go make somebody write a book. I said Steve of chaff. I thought that was funny Missed it yeah Do you have a thing on Holmes? Well, let me see. Do you have a Holmes thing? Looking for Holmes... We are searching for... Yes! Liz Holmes sentence PBS 231 The former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced today to 135 months in federal prison more than 11 years the penalty was imposed at a hearing in San Jose California

55:10 Holmes had been convicted of investor fraud and conspiracy for duping investors about bogus blood testing technology. The company collapsed in 2018. For duping investors, literally for duping investors! You know the what is the point it by the way Judy's leaving yes we and this show is really deteriorating and this woman who's a new anchor I was listening to her Judy always had a very professional sounding Broadcasting voice mm-hmm this woman doesn't and and what is the point of saying 135 months? I thought that was interesting. Yeah, I don't know Once you do it in minutes or hours I mean it doesn't make any sense as if the numbers too high to be using months You know a billion seconds. You know I mean just dumb

56:07 Yeah, that's filler. It's just a bad writing how about that bad writing? Let's chalk it up a lot of bad writers in the show and then they've got a couple of clips from this I've been getting the news our stuff. I don't like going back to it Attorney General non-political BS. Listen to this By a significant person in American life and American political life, okay? We're back it off I got a I got a premise this this is so this new girl she goes and she does kpart and The new girl on PBS do we have a name? Yes, you know, I can't remember her name It's just something its name eats as a forgettable name because it's like

56:51 It's one of these ethnic names that is just very hard to remember. New girl on PBS is the search term, let's see how we do... No bad, bad, bad, okay keep going So K-Part and this, they had some other guy from The Washington Post on there instead of the... They gotta get rid of this segment especially with this K-Part guy The guy is just a stooge Listen to K-Part. Who is K-Part? I don't know who K-Part is... We've talked about him before, he's the gay columnist for The Washington Post. He's a black guy and he's very effective and he said he's always rolling his eyes and he's always a super Trump hater and everything that Democrats do is fabulous! Amna Nawaz Yeah how am I supposed to remember that?! That's a bad name she should have changed it for the show like you know

57:41 Annie Oakley. It's a bad name, period! So let's go to K-Part on Pelosi and this is an example of what I'm talking about listen to this they talk about Pelosi you know she's quitting she's not gonna be in the leadership role anymore and so they throw this around about what do you think about that? And Capehart says the following. By a significant person in American life, in American political life A former president who just announced he's seeking the Republican nomination for the next- This is not Capehart on Pelosi! I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry. I thought you were setting up this clip Where is Capehart on Pelo- where is Capehart on Pelosi? You should say Capehart on Pelosi Wow! I hear ya, I don't see it

58:32 No. Um, this is embarrassing Are you doing a search for it? Well I'm going to now! It's not like you have a whole bunch of clips We're gonna cut all this out by the way Set a marker Cape Heart. It spelled H-A-R-T Now...I didn't know the guy's name I was looking under K Oh, sorry. All right so and here's the guys answer let me deal with Speaker Pelosi first I agree with President Biden when he said that she was quote the most consequential speaker in history and there's no denying that if you look at what she has been able to do as speaker of the house most notably getting the Affordable Care Act passed through the house without a single Republican vote She did that?

59:21 Yeah. Okay? They had a house, they had a majority... They had this huge majority! It was during the Obama era and she passed this thing with not one- She couldn't get one Republican What kind of a great Speaker of the House is this when you can go across the aisle?! This is great! This is the difference in reporting You could report the story as she got it passed without any of those idiot Republicans or she got it passed And no one else wanted that. I mean, so there's different ways of reporting it this is obviously the K part. She just forced her own party to vote on it without...so they can get one Republican vote because they didn't like various aspects of it and she forced it through with a huge majority of our own party This is not a great Speaker of The House! This woman is a catastrophe she didn't...and by the way that's the only thing you can cite about

1:00:20 greatness. She was Speaker of the House what twice now and she's accomplished nothing, and she's hateful? She's mean-spirited we have all kinds of great clips of her just being a jerk back 20 years ago it's ridiculous therefore she has this Capehart guy he's just an apologist for the Democrats He's a horrible they shouldn't have this segment anymore PBS is shot! She shall be known as Nancy the Uniter They'll do something like that. I'm telling you, they'll do something like that. No, that's not it. You're right, you're right. That's how you do it. Called the United... Nancy Pelosi was she was the great uniter of our age So he goes on this is the now this clip that you played earlier that you thought I was re-referencing This attorney general nonpolitical BS clip and let me preface it They're going on about this about and by the way The whole show is about Trump

1:01:17 having, they bring you know they brought over a guy from the Hague for the criminal court. Oh! The International Criminal Court? They brought this guy over to be the new independent prosecutor Yes yes yes this is great and this is a big deal to these guys and Kapor's all in on it says this is fabulous American public wants this by a significant... Sorry Wait, I got more. And so he says and it's not political! It's not political people need to understand is not political and so listen to this by a significant person in American life in American political life of former president who just announced He's seeking the Republican nomination for the next presidential cycle which the Attorney General said was the thing that happened that necessitated this move

1:02:13 Okay, hold on. What? It was the thing that... Oh! Him announcing is why you needed for the public interest need to have him being investigated right away Yeah So it's not political No it's not political But the fact that he announced we got to do all this We gotta start scrambling to get to screw him over That's basically what he said but according to Capehart This is fabulous So anyway, so let's go to part two of this. Yeah...this is yeah and this is what makes me so tired I was like, we're just going to go through another cycle of that. Necessitated this move and i think it should say to the American people one and also the Attorney General announced yeah we have been investigating but were taking this so seriously that were giving into a special counsel who is quite literally out of the Justice Department maybe he's over at The Hague if memory serves in this person will be in charge

1:03:13 running the rest of the investigation. It is an attempt by the Justice Department, by the Attorney General to give the American people confidence that the investigations are being done fairly and being done impartially in that no favor is being given or taken away from Donald Trump Oh my goodness. Yeah, now here's what I mean by it's so tiring even though i love my job that really doesn't feel like work but when you get reports like this just its triggering it takes me back six years Former President Trump is lashing out at- I mean come on he's lashing out again John!

1:04:01 He's lashing out. Former President Trump is lashing out after the appointment of a special counsel to oversee two criminal investigations involving Mr. Trump CBS' Natalie Brand is in our Washington bureau with the latest, Natalie? Adriana the former president reacting to this news is now trying to use it as a rallying cry ahead of 2024 This is a rigged deal. He called the appointment of his special counsel an expected political stunt and repeated without offering proof what he said about other investigations There it is, without offering proof! This horrendous abuse of power is the latest in a long series of witch hunts

1:04:40 But the Department of Justice says it made... And Trump, witch hunts. You know this is why it's so tiring! But the Department of Justice says it made the decision in an effort to avoid political influence and independently move forward with the investigations into Trump's role on January 6th and efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential results as well as Trump's handling of classified documents seized from his Florida estate Trump's former Attorney General William Barr told PBS he believes it is increasingly more likely the former president could face an indictment. If the Department of Justice can show that these were indeed very sensitive documents and also showed that the President consciously was involved in misleading the department, deceiving the government those are serious charges. That is a serious amount of time

1:05:28 Now, Trump and his attacks of the newly appointed special counsel Jack Smith also offered no evidence when he described Smith as quote the radical left. The veteran prosecutor's reputation among those who know him is as politically independent Is it true? Is he politically independent? I doubt it. Why would you put him in there if he was now the thing is where'd you get this because that was a very biased, very poorly executed CBS was all over this. I have one more from CBS We will not laugh. We will not laugh anymore at Jeff Begay's. Attorney General Merrick Garland said today that given former President Trump's decision to run again, it was in the public interest to appoint a special counsel It also allows prosecutors and agents to continue their work expeditiously and make decisions indisputably guided only by the facts and the law

1:06:26 tap for the job Jack Smith, a war crimes prosecutor and former head of the Justice Department's public integrity section. He will now decide whether Mr Trump will face charges in the case involving classified documents found at Trump's Florida estate and whether he and his allies interfered with the transfer of power on January 6th. This decision takes a lot of the politics out of it He's appointed a long time career prosecutor, highly respected very experienced. Historically special counsels have been appointed to avoid conflicts and political influence but Garland's move comes just days after Trump's 2024 announcement And I'm a victim Setting up a potential rematch with President Biden Well done boys Jarrell responded late tonight

1:07:18 This horrendous abuse of power is the latest in a long series of witch hunts. It started a long time ago. The last high-profile special counsel investigation into Trump's ties to Russia lasted roughly two years, legal experts say this could wrap much sooner I suspect it means we'll see a decision and potential indictment within the first three months of the new year It's overproduced, it's too long. It's boring I don't think it's effective. It's only for you know... So Bill Barr can say hey I'm on CBS this weekend! I don't think it's very effective. It's annoying and tedious. I think it's bad for the ratings so I don't think it's a...

1:08:04 PBS was worse. PBS started with it and they went on for almost the whole first 15 minutes of the show is about it They brought people on, and they said well this is a serious situation If they would have gotten Bill Barr on I'm sure he would have gone out there to invite them Did they talk at all about the Homeland Security Committee hearing? Of course not So you're telling me that important questions and answers about January 6th, which is critical to media. You're telling me that they didn't cover that? Well I mean they covered it when it was during its process No this Homeland Security Committee meeting...this is weird Huh! These things take interest This is Higgins

1:09:02 He is from got nothing to do with Trump or it doesn't have anything negative about Trump. Oh, that's what it is Okay FBI director Ray was on understand and the representative from Louisiana Higgins asked him a few questions Director ray does he does the FBI? Have confidential human sources Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6th protesters on January 6, 2021? Well Congressman as I'm sure you can appreciate. I have to be very careful about what i can say about when- Even now because that's what you told us two years ago May I finish? About when we do and where not and where we haven't used confidential human sources

1:09:56 But to the extent that there's a suggestion, for example, that the FBI is confidential human sources or FBI employees in some way instigated or orchestrated January 6th. That's categorically false. Did you have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters inside the Capitol on January 6 prior to doors being opened? Again I had to be very careful... It should be no! Can you not tell the American people no? We did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol. Gentlemen, time has expired. You should not read anything into my decision to share information with a confidential human source. Director Wray, gentlemen's time has expired I like this guy! This Higgins guy

1:10:39 Answer should be no! I got another one from him in a minute. That actually was a good one, I haven't heard anyone pull that one out of the hat. The answer should be no Here's Hawley who has announced officially he will not be seeking election for president in 2024 which makes him a candidate for something else I guess maybe could be it a VP? He certainly is... Secretary of State He's a showboater though, man. He's a lawyer I'm not a big fan of him-of his but he is effective and here he is grilling FBI Director Wray Let's just look at some things while you've been vacationing

1:11:22 that your FBI has been doing. I mean right there, right off the bat! According to numerous whistleblowers who have come forward to members of this body and members of the House, The FBI has been sending more than in one instance a dozen armed agents to a rural Pennsylvania home of a Catholic pro-life demonstrator to arrest him at gunpoint in front of his children in early morning hours despite the fact that he posed no risk of violence or threat and had previously offered to turn himself in. Numerous whistleblowers, field agents have alleged that DC your headquarters has pulled them off working on child sex abuse cases working on human trafficking cases in order to work on January 6th matters for this reason To give the appearance they say they say there are hundreds of new domestic terrorism cases in the country

1:12:12 when in fact there are not. Whistleblowers, field agents have also said that DC has ordered the use of SWAT teams on non-violent suspects who may have attended a January 6th rally and they had been ordered to conduct surveillance and knock on doors of people who were not even in D.C. on January 6th And again all this according to whistleblowers these are your agents All of this In order to make it look as if There's a mass surge in domestic terrorism all across the country When in fact The stats are being padded by political directive in your office. They also say, these whistleblowers the DC leadership deliberately suppressed investigations into Hunter Biden contrary to FBI procedure and have also retaliated against FBI agents and whistleblowers who have contacted Congress which by the way they are protected by statute to do so This is what's happening at your FBI while you're evading oversight hearings

1:13:09 Mr.. Director. Do you think you're still up to this job? I absolutely think I'm still up to the job, and I think our workforce feels the same way well I don't and frankly I think you should have been gone a long time ago And given your behavior recently I think it only makes it more clear are there any travel plans today that we should be aware of that You have we're supposed to have a second round will you be here for them yes That's a good one. You've any travel plans That's so threatening in a weird way Were you planning on traveling? Because we're going to detain you. And just, I have one more question... None of this is covered on PBS or by the Capehart dude because they just don't want to talk about it! The news has gotten ridiculously biased and they are losing more viewership as people discover this. Exactly. I do not know what they are up to and trying to prove

1:14:06 They're all part of one who worries sick that Trump's gonna be president again and then what? The ratings will go up, heaven forbid. They're following orders they just following orders Yes they are following orders but whose are the orders being delivered from now when I saw Margaret Hoover do her little interview on Firing Line I wrote about it in a newsletter with Bill Barr. It was ridiculous! Bill Barr, ex-CIA, Margaret Hoover MK ultra by my definitions of anything... She goes on and Barr just excoriates Trump it's just in a horrible way and then then eventually backs off when she tries to corner him on certain things he wasn't gonna go along with yeah

1:14:52 And it was just, if anyone can get a look at this you'll see it. A pathetic interview but I don't know what... By the way she was wearing a dress of some sort This dress had to cost two twenty five hundred bucks! I mean maybe five? It was just WOW! She's there like a little pixie smiling and then every once in awhile you'd get the shakes when he wouldn't answer right. It was terrible Now I gotta go watch that this sounds like a very entertaining episode just look at her just to look at her dress and then now I need To match the dress cuz it's got some white white kind of highlights on the dress. It's got like a flower design She's got out white a white lavalier

1:15:39 Yeah, okay. They got budget someone's gonna put a budget. Yes. You have a white lavalier Yeah, I'm sure they have a box of lavaliers that are all colored Oh yeah Sennheiser makes them in all different colors Yo everybody else then eyes it makes him cut but lot of these guys making a lot of colors But there is a it's a white one so I just want to just want to go back to the Higgins Higgins is that his name the Higgins character? Higgins yes from Louisiana So he also by the way You know that's where John Kennedy is, he is also Louisiana if I'm not mistaken. Is he Kentucky? No I think he's Louisiana. Oh yeah these guys are fine! I think he's the one who set this stage and everybody now has to be that good. Troll Room informs me that dress might have been Vera Wang

1:16:29 I wouldn't be in the least surprised. Yeah, crazy-ass, that's Vera Wang style. She so 2000s Okay now Higgins goes after Mayorkas! Mayorkas is the director of Homeland Security and I really don't like this guy This guy is a douche He's a total douche, he has weird alien eyes like there is something wrong with this guy. There is definitely something wrong with this guy and here we go I'm back Secretary Mayorkas have you used your authority to suppress exculpatory evidence presented by CBP agents who've come under public attack and condemnation by DHS in the Biden administration? Have you used your authority to suppress exculpatory evidence

1:17:20 presented by CBP agents who've come under public attack and condemnation by you and the Biden administration. Two points if I may, Congressman number one in response to your second question i don't even know what you're referring to and with respect to your first take that is it's your honor record saying no us you have not used your authority to suppress exculpatory evidence If you're an honorable man, then obviously you should be able to say no to that. Who would suppress exculpatory evidence? Is your answer no? I don't even know what you're referring to Congressmen You will And if i may Secretary Mayorkas have used your authority to retaliate against DHS agents who served on special details during the Trump administration Agents identified by your administration as conservatives or trump supporters Once again congressman

1:18:12 I don't even know what you're referring to. Here before Congress, i'm going to take that as a no. Through your authority Secretary Mayorkas have you encouraged your chain of command to suppress basic law enforcement actions at the border and harass or victimize or intimidate experienced frontline law enforcement agents at the border using internal investigations and threats of disciplinary action or transfer in order to force those agents to comply with DHS policies that actually injure the security of our homeland and are contrary to the sworn oath of those agents. Is that the culture you've created?

1:18:51 Congressman, I don't even know what you're referring to. You will. And I am... Secretary Mayorkas' final question, sir. ...honor and service and nobility throughout the Department of Homeland Security. That is what I'm dedicated to. Will he represent mobility? Secretary Mayorkas? Congressman that is what I am dedicated to It's been rumored, Secretary that you're going to resign prior to January the 3rd. Is there any truth in those rumors? That is a false rumor Alright we look forward to seeing you in January Wow also ending with a threat! That's such a veiled threat So do you have travel plans? Are here resigning These guys are out for blood Sounds like it I like it But of course... That's exciting We're the only ones who can play because no one else will show

1:19:42 This is a fact, unfortunate fact. Do you think just as an overall theory since the whole Trump thing is rather puzzling do you think he could be playing a heel strategy for DeSantis maybe even to distract Biden? I've thought that from the beginning. I don't think that's his style though The problem is...I do not believe that he has the martyr in him Exactly. I mean he knows how to do it because and of course WWE, you know He knows that the wrestling heel very well

1:20:21 I mean, unless it's like a twofer and then all of a sudden boom! It's two of them. I can't see them on a ticket together honestly No, I can either no that's not gonna happen because he The Santas wouldn't do it? I don't think so I mean what would be the great gambit if all these billionaires were in on it him being a heel It would be a great martyrdom but I think you're right. I don't think his ego will let him do it. It would be a twist that would be totally unexpected and it would work. I think we both agree on that, it will be great one. And then he could take a lot of credit for it but he still has this... He's still irked about the 2020 debacle and you know what? I think probably with some good reason in fact that people keep there was a really funny, I didn't get a super clip of it but some guy put together

1:21:17 document of the difference between 2016 when Hillary and everybody else is denying the election, they're election deniers and got kicked off a YouTube. But I want to play these clips from Arizona this is Carrie Lake coming on at the beginning of this clip yeah and just listen to the bullcrap and I believe I believe this is going on, especially in Maricopa County. This Arizona voting won that I am still in this fight with you In a video released Thursday on social media Lake says her claims of a broken election system have been confirmed Well we called for Katie Hobbs to recuse herself over it Wait a minute Is this an NTD report? You got it It's great! I like how she says CONFIRMED Have been confirmed CONFIRMED It's almost like a sitcom Broken election system have been confirmed

1:22:06 When we called for Katie Hobbs to recuse herself over a year ago, they ridiculed us. It turns out we were right the Fox was guarding the hen house and because of that voters have been disenfranchised. Hobbs, the current Secretary of State is the top election official in the state as overseer of elections. Hobbes has several duties including watching the counts and certifying the election results she spoke on CNN And I'm not going to recuse myself from the job that the voters elected me to do Throughout the race, Lake called for an overhaul of Arizona's election system citing problems with voting machines. In the video she says she was right to question the system On Election Day nearly half of all polling locations had problems with tabulating machines and printers

1:22:51 But Hobbs said on Wednesday in an interview with the Washington Post, the system doesn't need an overhaul. She said as governor she wants to expand early voting and maybe mail ballots to all registered voters. Carrie Lake called for voters who experienced problems with voting to reach out and share their stories which she then posted on Twitter. When we arrived at the Voting Center, the workers told us that the printers of that location were all broken So they went to the next closest Voting Center at Litchfield Park First Baptist Church But while standing in the 40-person line, Mr. Kearns noticed some problems We noticed that about two out of every three people who tried to scan their ballots just wouldn't scan their ballot. The location had only two scanners, neither worked on Mr. Kern's ballot He was asked to put his ballot into door 3 but he refused In the end they allowed him to use the handicap system which prints a larger ballot That worked It took them over an hour to vote and by that time he estimated the line to be between 100-150 people Yeah

1:23:52 Yeah, yeah. The problem is the Democrats they collected ballots and the Republicans they collect votes there's your mistake They'll learn Well...the idea is to fix it but let's go ahead and clip two of this Steve Handlin arrived at 530 in the morning and was ninth in line One of the tabulators was broken And the other tabulator kept rejecting everyone's vote Emily Weinberg and her boyfriend Jalen Topps experienced what they called voter fraud They say a voter registration drive took place at their community college. Jaylin registered, but when the worker saw he chose Republican as the party she said, are you sure that's right? When he went to vote, he says he was only given a federal voting form and that they accused him of being an illegal immigrant He provided his photo ID driver's license and a social security card to prove he was an American citizen

1:24:47 According to Emily, the worker responded. Oh I'm sorry we don't accept that as a form of proof This poll observer says four out of seven ballots were failing when he observed from 1230 p.m to 1pm on election day. I'll never forget the look on these affected voters faces, they were in disbelief that our system of voting was failing them en masse, en masse! Arizona election officials say that machines at the Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center were able to process the ballots that couldn't be read at voting centers Recent results show Democrat Katie Hobbs's lead has dropped from 0.8 to 0.6 percent Under Arizona law a recount triggers when the margin is less than or equal to point five percent Yeah, so this is still not over no Yeah yeah we didn't have a printer ballot printed ballots we had you colored in the boxes and then put it into the scanner I

1:25:49 Yeah, that's what we do. Yeah it's a mess. It's a mess. Everyone is giving up John they're all giving up! People don't care anymore I'm not gonna vote doesn't matter tell bullcrap and that's the desired outcome really yeah that's what they want okay little entremont just so we get back into a more happier mood Just before we take a break here, we've got some situations coming back again. Things that we haven't seen in many years. Breaking news from North Korea firing what is believed to be the second intercontinental ballistic missile this month Japan says the missile landed and it's exclusive economic zone but it was capable of striking anywhere on the US mainland Vice President Kamala Harris held a meeting with world leaders at the APEC summit in Thailand to discuss the launch

1:26:38 This conduct by North Korea most recently is a brazen violation of multiple UN security resolutions. It destabilizes security in the region and unnecessarily raises tensions We strongly condemn these actions, and we again call for North Korea to stop further unlawful destabilizing acts Because nothing says we got this America more than putting Kamala Harris out to take care of the issue. So, this is obviously yet another military-industrial complex bullcrap stunt as confirmed by my uncle Don when he allowed me to ask anything that was one of the things

1:27:22 Is it Korea? That stuff, it's just sales. We gotta have sales and I would say that North Korea they're proud of what they're doing to them this is like an Artemis launch And you know who's back our Korean news lady This was their report. Look at that!

1:28:21 They just go on for 20, 30 seconds of just more ignition. There you go! I love that lady. She's a staple. I missed her, she's back. She never really went anywhere No no she has been there the whole time And with that i'd like to thank you for your courage saying good morning to you The man who put the C in ICBM Ladies and gentlemen please say hello to my friend on the other end Mr John C DeMora

1:29:06 Well, in the morning to you Mr. Adam Curry Also in the morning ships and sea boots on the ground feed the air subs of the water all the dames and knights out there And a big in the morning to all of these trolls in the troll room who always congregate there at Trollroom dot IO good to have y'all here they are here Pretty much 24 7 if you go to troll room dot IO you can pop right into the chat there and you can listen To the no agenda stream which includes 12 13 14 live shows at this point in this 24 seven all talk No, agenda. There is some music though for some cool stuff Thank You Darren for doing your Rock and Roll Pre-Show before every single episode of No Agenda. And let's take a look at how many do we have here in our troll room? Let's count them first. Hello, trolls! Okay 2160. This feels better. It's 100 down from typical Sunday but it's better than last time. It's better than last time okay well thanks trolls were glad to have you here

1:30:10 Believe me. We love having you here on this Sunday And the trolls of course can also be found individually at no agenda social comm I have to say, I think Elon has done us a great service and he has He has moved a lot of people to the Fediverse Have you seen any people that are familiar to you in the Fediverse? You just kind of still in the knowage into social vibe No agenda socials in the Fediverse. I know but do you see more people? To which do you refer, what are your... Like have you seen Jay Rosen or Jeff Jarvis? No. You should see that on the FEDI it's growing up! They're not interested in anything they have to say Of course not just a whole idea is that there are people who are moving to the Fediverse and enjoying it this is what surprising

1:31:09 I'm surprised. Something broke, something broke over there. Here's an interesting little story so that at least locally they announced that you know people are quitting and blah blah going on but he shut the offices down for the weekend locked them out disabled all car access yeah and nobody's reporting any kind of like well don't just isn't does anyone speculate about why? What? Oh, he's going to relaunch with the new stack and it's gonna be WeChat USA. No! Why else would you shut down offices like that unless you're sending your private investigators to go through everyone's desk?!

1:31:55 One at a time. You got a whole weekend to do it 24-7, you got 24 hours per day and I don't know 48 odd hours there...48, 72 maybe total? I don't know but you send all the people in there, you go through everybody's desks, you start looking at everything you can they have what are they gotten their own inner dinner desks today by the Communists or are they a bunch of creeps that work for somebody else? Really! Oh interesting What else would you shut down the office like that for? I already told you my idea and you said no. Well your idea is just one the mainstream media would say but I'm telling you... No, stop! Stop! Stop! No, the mainstream media is not saying what I am saying. You're right, the mainstream media's saying nothing. Correct So you're right there But no that's what you do and that's what he's doing He's that kind of guy He works with the security state He knows whats going on

1:32:47 He's got everybody booked in there. Everyone that's working there, their desk has been gone through Alright Well we'll know on Monday No we won't because they're gonna do it right and they're not going to be any evidence of this That's what I mean when there is no evidence then we will know that it happened If all a sudden you are paying your electric bill with your Twitter account Then we will know that I was right That's gonna be awhile Yeah probably Anyway, noagendasocial.com is a premier outfit on the Fediverse. There's I think it's... Is it fediverse dot space? You can see a visual representation and you have this huge cloud and then if you look way up to the left-hand corner there's this little like an ulcerous growth that is still connected to the Fediverse but hanging on by few threads that's where we live

1:33:44 Because we've been blocked by so many people, but we're still in there. Would anybody block us at all? We were on a controversial site! No, we were on the block list four years ago because and I will say that some producers on Knowledge In The Social were totally baiting the tards at mastodon dot com and So we got put on a block list for being KKK Nazi quadroons don't you remember? I can't believe they had gullible So in other words, instead of actually doing the job, doing the work and actually checking things out and seeing for yourself whether something's good bad or indifferent.

1:34:25 You just hear from a couple of trolls that go in there and... No, no. It was the official block list They created a block list and we were on it And I think we're probably still on it Why did we get on it? Because people didn't like what they... because early on as if as we were just in the Fediverse People were trolling the LibTards That's exactly what I said Some trolls got in there and lied No! It was our people Our people. We have a lot of jerks, let's face it And I called them out on it and said hey you can say whatever you want but because of you we got blacklisted- we got blocked that's why Yeah so thanks a lot for helping out the show Exactly Alright somehow they turned into a real downer even though were really smart for being in there You know we've got great federation

1:35:16 Alright everybody, thanks. But it still points out the flaw which is just because some jag off comes in and tells you something it could be a...because they hate it You know that woman? Oh yeah I know he's married to her but she's a slut! That sort of thing Yeah But I don't care. You're just taking it face value, then you're a douchebag! Yeah but the whole point is that if people don't like being somewhere where no agenda show is blocked they'll go get an account somewhere else That's the point that's what makes it work I'm just saying we're outcast was my point Thank you very much to The Artist for episode 1504 We titled it The Uninspired Title of Value Chain

1:36:02 The more I saw it, the more I'm like oh god what a piece of crap title that was. It's really not good We liked it at the time No we were tired Well here's that And you had already given me the album I wasn't pushing anything! I just had a list! I wasn't... Like YOU! I had no lists Yeah well... and I'd already forced my art choice I didn't have a problem with the art. Well, I forced it anyway. It was Eli 5. Explain it like I'm five on the blackboard. No you did! You forced it...I've done it before you've done it before we both do it very rare but it was like no I'm picking this art and that's that and then you just stand firm and unless the other person would be me in this case has a... wants to fight yeah

1:36:49 No, you better have a pretty good piece to fight with. Of course! The piece I had to fight with was a piece of cheesecake art which i thought was dynamite... ...I used it on the newsletter and they were fine with me. I know but I'm just tired of the cheesecake. I know you are even though if you look at the last 10 pieces we used we have not used that much cheesecake. I end up using in the newsletter a lot Wait a minute You're telling me the last ten pieces we've not use much cheesecake? Yes, the last 10 pieces we have not used much cheesecake. You're gonna challenge me on this? We're gonna go to the no agenda... What is it? Noagendashow.com Okay yes, no agendashow.com or .net. All right let's do it big man! Are you there yet? Nope

1:37:41 Let us see. Okay, here we go. Okay last one two three four pieces at the top of the thing no cheesecake whatsoever Not even an image of a person so I have six more chances Browse the archive thank you for this new site holy crap okay? We have number eight cheesecake No that what do you mean 15 years as a cheese cake entails thighs legs Oh, it's got hairy legs Yeah, there's no cheating. One two three four we got 12 pieces There's a picture of a girl's face cut off or like the top of her head was chopped off like Fetterman She's chopped off she's listening on headphones Like she's orgasmic about 15 years and it even says almost come on And then all right not the last ten but then we have oh

1:38:30 Two cheesecake women and one is... I'm going to cut you. No, we have the blogger cheesecake. I am just going back to what you said in the last ten pieces we have plenty of cheesecake there's no example of plenty The word plenty is how all of a sudden it came You're right! There's no plenty of cheesecake but we have plenty of cheesecake in general Alright We could've... You know what? Yeah, I'll tell ya something If if I didn't like the Eli 5 so much I would've gone cheese with ya Well, the Eli piece was opposite. I wasn't going to make a big argument with you because I knew I could always use the other piece but the Eli 5 thing because i didn't think much of this phrase it's a beautiful piece It is so professional looking The cheesecake one looks like cheesecake and its cartoony This is a dynamite piece! I would have suggested

1:39:26 In the spelling of no agenda that there was some more color. Yes, and the blocks at AGN could have been done in darker colors I agree 100% but yes it was it wasn't a debatable when it came down to it The piece was too good all right so already There's cheesecake two cheesecakes for this show so you know people getting on cheesecakey And there was an actual cheesecake from sir dude named Parker Pauly Yeah, it was an actual piece of cheesecake. Yeah, it was cheesecake like a New York style yeah with the chocolate dripping down what else was there that was well

1:40:14 Roger Roundy did a couple of interesting pieces, but the piece by Capitalist Agenda which was the cheesecake piece. It was a rock and it was 50's style like art. It was pretty and I used in a newsletter that was going to be that but this other piece which was done who did our piece? Nessworks. Nessworks did in winter yeah well we appreciate you Nessworks love that piece I agree with John's minor note about the color of the NOAJ letters, but it was just fantastic. And I liked the cheesecake too! But obviously it was clear who had to win. Thanks to all of the artists competing now more than ever. They are frenemies if you guys are on noagendasocial.com You can see how everyone is pretending to be nice. Hey congrats man great win! Bastard...

Missed fire... Alright everybody How about a super cut? You know it's always a good day

1:54:27 when we have a supercut. This is the one that claims the social media is a danger to democracy... Social media? Social media, yeah! It's social media as a danger I mean January 9th is too but social media is dangerous to democracies. Oh ready? Yeah More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

1:55:22 This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Oh goodness, it's so dangerous to our democracy... And there you go! There's your mainstream media in a nutshell

1:56:04 And we've got a new one to use. We need some alliteration, TTTT what can do with TTTT? Announce the ever-growing turmoil over at Twitter's. Yes it's turmoil over at Twitter everybody! Turmoil over at Twitter ABC. Announcing the ever growing turmoil over at Twitter scores of employees apparently headed for the exit overnight after Elon Musk told workers to decide whether they wanted to stay or go A flood of farewell messages rolling in at Twitter after Elon Musk gave employees an ultimatum. Commit to working in an extremely hardcore fashion, including long hours and high intensity or leave with three months severance

1:56:45 Now, sources tell ABC News dozens of employees are resigning with many sending the salute emoji over the company's internal messaging board. Meanwhile Twitter employees were reportedly locked out of office buildings overnight giving the company more time to figure out who still works there. I've been talking to people all day, one former executive who recently exited told me that with all these departures it's going to be hard just to keep the lights on over there. It comes as a group of Democrats... Really? Is it going to be hard? I mean, so is there a guy who would keep the lights on make sure the switch is in the on position. It was really hard to keep that on. I mean that guy's gone now someone might turn the lights off really ABC. It's going to be hard just to keep the lights on over there. It comes as a group of Democratic senators call for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Musk's recent actions

1:57:40 Musk has not responded to requests for comment, but in a tweet last night he seemingly joked about how much he paid Twitter. Roughly 44 billion dollars posting How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one It's the latest turmoil since the billionaire purchased Twitter. Musk immediately fired 50% of the workforce Then, one of his ideas allowed users to pay for the verification checkmark. Twitter paused the feature after people were impersonating celebrities and brands And last week ABC News obtained exclusive audio of Musk in another meeting demanding his employees return to The Office Some advertisers have now paused spending on the platform until there's more clarity on Twitter's direction

1:58:30 In Musk's other tweet last night he said usage on Twitter just hit an all-time high. Oh I love it, I love it, okay so... So he put the kibosh on work from home is what he did with that one. They don't point that out they just say you know But what I love is that You know, like all companies but certainly Twitter which has been around for a long time and certainly when it comes to trust and safety and HR and all of this they had layers of middle management. Layers and layers and layers of people who why would you show up? They're not doing anything! Yeah I agree with that they're not...you're not doing anything might as well just stay home. I mean i've built enough companies to know it just happens

1:59:16 He's got all these people, and if there is enough money... which there isn't anymore. Anyway let's see how CBS handled the alliteration. Tonight Twitter turmoil continues. I mean come on! ABC AND CBS? I have the PBS version of this, and i don't think they use that. Hold on let me finish this one... Tonight the Twitter turmoil continues. Oh it's a good one! That is a three-parter yes. Tonight the Twitter turmoil continues. Tonight twitter turmoil continues. The new owner Elon Musk is scrambling quite simply to prevent the social media platform from collapsing. Oh no John its collapsing he said without evidence This after hundreds of vital employees quit. Yes!

2:00:00 Exactly. He said without evidence. If it was Trump, it would be without evidence but no. ...media platform from collapsing this after hundreds of vital employees quit CBS's Jonathan Vigliotti spoke with an engineer who was laid off. Oh, vital! Tonight as questions mount over Twitter's future Elon Musk offered little reassurance he has a permanent plan tweeting what should Twitter do next? The culture at Twitter under Elon Musk was definitely a culture of fear, of uncertainty and anxiety. Justine DeCares worked for Twitter for three years before being laid off along with reportedly nearly half the staff earlier this month. DeCares is part of a class action lawsuit against the company

2:00:46 Will Twitter's lights stay on? I've seen systems start to fail already and i expect to see smaller things break and then slowly bigger things start to break especially with all the expertise that went out the door yesterday. This week, Muskafe remaining employees in ultimatum pledged to be extremely hardcore and work long hours or resign by 5 p.m thursday fed up employees went online counting down the deadline The New York Times reporting as many 1200 left. It's really the Twilight Zone and it continues to get more bizarre about a day, and I think Musk with initially 50% cuts now sort of ultimatums internally it has become a game of throne. Musk later tweeted a skull and crossbones followed by this image of a Twitter tombstone. We had thousands of engineers and its not like they were sitting around twiddling their thumbs

2:01:39 Yeah, they were. And Musk has called for an emergency meeting for all remaining engineers in light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of abundance of caution CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform major. Why? Because they don't have control over messaging the way that like it anymore They're just trying to start an exodus. Why does CBS gonna back off? Because they built their own Mastodon instance I don't think so Of course not Your first answer was correct, i thought you were going to reiterate it They lost control

2:02:24 Now Elon is... Maybe the agency lost control or maybe who knows somebody lost control. I would say this is nonsense, you know you don't need a thousand engineers to write it's a glorified website with a database back end and you know I don't see it. Yeah yeah I mean in essence you're right now Musk is dropping breadcrumbs which could be total false trail but there's like pictures of a whiteboard And it's kind of interesting because it shows all the different blocks of logic that ultimately create what you see on Twitter. They use an audio analogy, analogy of mixers so we have the home timeline mixer and into that they've got a submixer of the ads... Oh this is like take off of their parody

2:03:19 That was on YouTube. Completely, yes! Like the whistleblowers who are also sketchy who did that whole half-hour special of the dials in the control room trying to mess with you it's probably exactly like that and so they have knobs what I'm saying is not like an algo Twitter is the algo That whole thing is just one algo and if you see what's being mixed into your timeline, i.e., into your brain all the time... So that may just be something old because why would he show that? From the same board room not a board meeting but like a conference room

2:04:00 There's a video of him and I don't know these other players but they seem to be his confidants. And they're laughing about what they should do, and actually they're laughing about all these idiot engineers who for years have been trying to create an edit button Which as you know is an unsuccessful. How long does that take? They have been working on an edit button for a year. Well, it's hard and it's tricky situation. And its incredibly complex! Yes, good one indeed I mean we don't even have a map thats as good as WeChat in China In China you can like live on WeChat basically It's like

2:04:40 Yeah, everyone's like that. Like you live on WeChat, you do payments, you do everything it's like yeah It's great basically checks kick-ass and we don't have anything like WeChat outside of China So I was like my idea would be like how about if we just copy WeChat? Hey Copy them Copies WeChat. Yeah pretty much Yes Okay so Adam has a new theory By the way, and before you get to the theory that's the way it works in Silicon Valley. You see somebody doing something right? You copy it! Yep How hard can that be?! You don't steal their code although they do that too! Bah ha! Here comes Adams new theory What is one of the largest investors in Tesla I do not know Tencent Oh really Yes who has a big stake in WeChat Tencent how about this

2:05:38 He's not stealing the code. They're giving it to him willingly, why not? That's the real way to do it! Make a lot of noise, make a lot of bullcrap and just bolt on the WeChat engine you're done Yeah, you're quiet. Great one I can't no I have no pushback on that unfortunately Thank You Then you would be this brazen then you would be like screw the engineers Although I've had a company with three brazen there they're not only screen They're mocking them outright and publishing this yeah to make it worse

2:06:23 So, that would be the way to do it is just have the technology stack all ready to just bolt it on. All they're doing is putting the finishing touches on their design so you know they make sure Twitter looks good and then they may have no ads! No ads? Don't worry about it we're good, we're good...no ads And it'll work for iPhone users first because Android is just slower with I think implementation with iPhones what they really like So I think it'll roll out iOS first. But it feels to me like that would be the strategy."

2:07:01 Now, I like in the theory. It's got everything going on and it could have actually been pre-done in advance before he even made the $44 billion bid working with them. Yes yes because you already knows that the players because he's got an investor there they probably talks to the CEO and you can say hey what do you think? And the way Stammers What do you think if we took your technology from the WeChat and put it as a core stack? No, no no. That's not how it went They call up... Hero Iran! Iran I have good idea You put WeChat in Twitter Somehow these guys become Japanese

2:07:52 That's what I'm thinking. I think they drove it and... It could be, same thing again about the pricing was a delay. You're tight with the guy. Yes! Somebody comes up with this idea in advance Elon mulls it over he's got the big dough Does the deal backs off of the deal for some reason cuz I comes in and says you can't do that because it's no time He needed to buy time. Nothing was about the price at all he needed to buy some time Maybe because maybe we chat or maybe a ten cent went Iran. I don't like you now You have probably thinks now you have problem, Iran Now what she is gonna be 100% racist? Now, you know why were up with a little nub at the corner of the big giant Fediverse It's you

2:08:37 I'm sorry. I have to dial it back used to be able to do that and it was hilarious You've become woke Dvorak That'll be the day just he's just become woke So but here's a funny thing this is the truck you heard about the Trump Twitter suit oh This is a very funny lawsuit because you could make out on this but it's got nothing to do with the Elon, but this is the funny Trump Twitter suit clip. I didn't know anything about this Former US President Donald Trump has asked an appeals court to revive his lawsuit against Twitter over his permanent suspension His November 14th filing alleges that government officials use social media platforms as so-called cat's paws to suppress opinions

2:09:28 and that those opinions turn out to be correct or at least debatable. The filing references Hunter Biden's laptop, the COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 election integrity. The legal brief draws an analogy with Galileo who was convicted of heresy by the Catholic Church. It reads, the earth does revolve around the sun and it was Hunter Biden not Russian disinformation agents who dropped off a laptop full of incriminating evidence at a repair shop in Delaware The lawsuit against former CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey and the federal government seeks compensatory and punitive damages. It also demands a court order requiring Twitter to immediately reinstate his account

2:10:08 The cat's paw theory of liability? This cat's paw, you should look it up. Yeah I'm looking at right now is crazy! It this has cropped up in the news...I have never heard this term until like a month ago No and and now this is the second or third time I've heard it referenced so somehow it's in play and I'm not sure why or how this is NTD It's obviously they picked it up from someplace else, but I don't know why it's in play But it is so cat's paws one of these little phrases recently here. We go recently this is from 2011 the supreme So it's an old one

2:10:46 The Supreme Court in 2011 issued an opinion upholding the US cat's paw theory of employer liability under which an employer may be liable for discrimination in an adverse employment decision against an employee where the ultimate decision maker is unbiased and has no discriminatory motives. Under this theory, the discriminatory motive of a non-decision maker is imputed to the decision maker and employer where the discriminator has some significant influence that leads to the adverse employment action. It's like top down so in other words if you're like a minion and you take some action that turns out to be discriminatory because you are influenced by the corporate culture which is influenced mostly by the CEO

2:11:38 Dorsey in this case. Dorsey in this case, then the cat's paw... Cat's paw has something to do with that I don't know what it has to do with cats! Is is trying to basically sue someone personally around the shield of corporate liability? I think they could be yeah sounds like whatever it is Trump's got you know if Trump's not unfamiliar with legal shenanigans. I like a cat's paw So cat's paws and play we have to take a look at it. I like it yeah Okay, so there's another big story that came up

2:12:16 And I do have a lot of clips for this from PBS and NUTENG. Is the Saudi prince all of a sudden biting? Double your excitement! We got NUTENG AND PBS children, get ready for it! If you want to tune out now is the time. Hey parents don't give your kids any sugar they'll be bopping off the walls when they hear this Yeah, very funny. So... Yes the Saudi prince I know it's like all of a sudden we're all up his butt. Everybody is jacked up about this and there are some good arguments in fact the better arguments come out of PBS even though they're a little dull but it's PBS and it's like uh they'll give you one summary which is that the head estate

2:13:02 The idea is that the Saudi prince that Biden hates became the prime minister under some circumstance and the head of state is exempt from certain kinds of legal actions. So, so Biden stepping in it for no apparent reason besides... Hello! That's not under the cat's paw law True. So let's play this new Tang Dynasty stuff, which is a little funnier. This is Saudi Prince Immunity 1. The Biden administration Thursday determined that Saudi Arabia's crown prince should be granted immunity in a lawsuit over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. NTD's Jessica Beatty has more on what many consider a controversial U-turn on the part of President Biden. The Biden administration has suggested immunity for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

2:13:52 This, despite the fact that the administration has said Jamal Khashoggi a Washington Post journalist was murdered in 2018 at The Prince's direction. Bin Salman who denied the allegations was recently made the Saudi Prime Minister because of this the administration says The Prince now qualifies for immunity as a foreign head of government The head of Democracy for the Arab World Now, Sarah Leah Whitson criticized Biden's immunity suggestion Friday saying Biden previously promised to hold the crown prince accountable. To instead, two years later have him intervene in a judicial proceeding that he did not have to intervene in. To instead say that he is immune from prosecution, to literally block his prosecution is a pretty shocking development

2:14:43 Yeah, that's interesting. Okay because he is a head of state or former head of state? Well he is the prime minister which means he is the head of state in some sort but everybody acknowledges that the head of state is the king of Saudi Arabia! So that is like a point of contention. Weak weak we're not falling for it and so why has Biden you know Biden has just I guess someone said, you know you're gonna have to do something because Biden needs to get that oil pumping. Yes but it's not working! He can't even get his own blood pressure up. Let's go with Saudi Prince immunity." The federal lawsuit against Bin Salman was brought by Khashoggi's fiancé and Whitson's group. It alleges a team of assassins kidnapped, drugged, tortured and killed Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and dismembered his body. Khashoggi's remains were never found

2:15:38 Whitson says Biden's move gives the crown prince a green light. Shielding him from accountability is giving him a green light to keep at it, keep attacking people in the United States as he has been doing because they criticize him, keep jailing women and men in Saudi Arabia because they have an opinion about the politics of their country The filing however said the Biden administration takes no view on the merits of the present suit while calling the murder heinous The administration did say it imposed visa restrictions and other penalties on lower-ranking Saudi officials. Always give it to the lower rankers, stick it to them! So now we have a more sobering report from PBS

2:16:26 That was exciting. Now the real stuff comes, okay? State Department Saudis and WTF1 this is actually kind of there's a number of interesting things in this report. The state department issued a legal opinion yesterday that said Saudi Arabia's crown prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman known as MBS has immunity from US courts The crown prince has been sued in the U.S. by the fiancee of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He was murdered in Saudi's Istanbul consulate in 2018, and U.S. intelligence believes MBS ordered the killing. Meantime, for months, the Biden administration has been pushing Saudi Arabia to increase oil production amid high gas prices.

2:17:11 So, should the U.S. have been tougher with Saudi Arabia? For that we get two views. John Bellinger was the legal adviser to the State Department during the George W. Bush administration and Gregory Stanton is a former State Department lawyer and founder and president of Genocide Watch, a nonprofit that seeks to stop genocide and its perpetrators Okay, just the two guests. What do you want a genocide watch guy giving opinions on this particular topic for? It's idiotic! He's just there to create noise about Saudi Arabia killing the Yemenis

2:17:50 Well, he never brings that into the really what is doing there you'd ask me I would like to know it makes no sense But uh, but he's there anyway cuz he's a good chatterbox and yet get gassy talks well And so here we go with the part two of this welcome to you both. Thank you for being here Let's jump right in Greg What do you make of this call by the US was this the right decision? I think the State Department got this wrong the The fact is that the law here is the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of the United States. And in the opinion they gave, they only cited customary international law

2:18:32 In fact, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act has a number of exceptions that have been actually passed by Congress and signed into law. The 2008 Defense Act was accompanied with an exception to allow people to sue certain governments that were declared to be terrorist states. Right like Iran But then in 2016 there was another act passed, the Justice for Victims of Terrorist Act that specifically takes away the need for the State Department to designate a country as a terrorist country. And it makes it possible to actually sue anybody involved in murder, in torture,

2:19:13 hijacking and hostage-taking. You think this should have fit under that exception? I think it's very clear that MBS was responsible for the murder and for the torture of Jamal Khashoggi Let me bring in John on that point then, President Biden has said he did agree with the CIA assessment that MBS did order the operation that led to Khashoggi killing so why issue immunity in a murder case Well, I think for the reasons you just mentioned this was a very uncomfortable if not unpalatable decision for the Biden administration to have to make given the really awful circumstances of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. But the administration was simply complying with its obligations under international law What? Yeah! What obligations under international law does he speak of? Well let's play part three and you'll find out

2:20:09 International law recognizes that heads of state and government like now Prime Minister bin Salman enjoy immunity from civil suits or in fact from criminal prosecutions in the courts of other countries. So under international law he had immunity here, and for that reason going back decades every administration has asserted immunity on behalf any foreign head of state who is sued here in the United States, often for really horrific actions. When I was legal advisor to the State Department, I had to sign a immunity determination for Pope Benedict who was sued with respect to the clergy scandal so this was not a favor to Saudi Arabia this was simply compelled by international law

2:20:57 Brick, what do you say to that? Decades of precedent here. I think the reason that doesn't hold here is that MBS is not the head of state in Saudi Arabia. He's prime minister right? Well they just made him prime minister so he might be able to argue this point but the fact is a head of state in Saudi Arabia is the king! This is just a prince So the only one who would have this right under international law would be the king. What would be the U.S. options in this case? What would you have liked to see happen? What I would've like to see is that he could be sued, and that is specifically allowed under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and its exceptions

2:21:39 He's not being tried criminally here. This is a lawsuit to get compensation for the murder of a man, a very great man in fact. So for me this is not a case where it was governed by international law at all. Such a great man that the pronunciation of his last name has changed yet again. So that's, everyone is up to speed on this. You know the arch enemy of the Saudis is Qatar. Are they not arch enemies? She's one of them So is Iran. Right, right but Qatar actually retaliated against the US making this move did you realize that? No this is news to me Soccer fans are getting ready to celebrate Sunday's World Cup kickoff but the party plans got downgraded after host country Qatar banned alcohol at the stadiums Oh yeah This sudden reversal surprised Budweiser The global beer giant paid 75 million dollars to be the official beer sponsor

2:22:40 A now deleted Budweiser tweet captured the corporate mood. Well, this is awkward... That's a direct attack on American commerce I never thought of that because i knew about this and Qatar is a fundamentalist Muslim country and it always surprised me they would serve beer there anyway but It was initially allowed it seems to me and now they pull back on it. You might be right, but the problem with your argument is Budweiser's not an American company. Oh you're right its Belgian now you've right good point well there goes my theory was an attack against Europe No I think it was just a... I think that here's the thing I think there's evidence of not ponying up enough yes did you

2:23:36 Now, where was it? Did Biden make an announcement about this or is this just something that got out there and people were grabbing it. They came out of the State Department... But they didn't do a huge announcement someone caught it and started making trouble that's what I don't know if it was huge or not did they want they're not covering this properly enough they don't we don't see blinking or anyone. Of course not I don't understand this. It has to do with 9-11, it can be just hohohoi...it has to be 9-11 because there was all these families who wanted to sue Saudi Arabia for 9-11? No, I think this really has nothing to do with anything except kissing his ass and getting him to pump more oil! Why don't they just pump more American Oil?! I mean why did... No you can't do that, its no good. Climate change.

2:24:28 I don't know. Here's a good story for you. Yes? 55 tons of pot! Spanish police say they confiscated over 55 tons of marijuana, the largest amount of the drug ever seized in the country. How is this good news for me? How is this good news?! And weighing more than an adult humpback whale! Eight farms have been dismantled in a northeastern region of the country and 20 people were detained on suspected electricity fraud and offenses against public health All the marijuana farms were concealed as legal hemp plantations. They were registered by a trading company and located among other warehouses. Agents seized over 187,000 plants and 21 tons of marijuana buds between June and October In a separate bust earlier this month Spain announced it seized over 35 tons of marijuana A record-setting amount at the time

2:25:26 Spanish officials say that 55 tons of the drug could have an estimated value of almost $130 million. I like that, something's going on here! This is a war on drugs obviously...I like the comparison with the humpback whale. The Belgian authorities are close second they announced according to VRT News They have their agents, now you know Belgium has big ports. Big big ports you know rivals Antwerp the port of Antwerp is an important port. Isn't Antwerp in Belgium? Yes that's what I'm saying Antwerp. You said rivals Antwerp Oh it was rivals Rotterdam is what I meant to say. Rivals Rotterdam, Antwerp And Rotterdam is a huge port When it comes to drugs

2:26:18 Belgian authorities now say, hey we have seized so much coke it's overloading the incinerators. That's a good one! That's a good one yeah but we're not seizing anything here We just let them come through and it's fentanyl I think Joe Biden Not just Joe Biden So Boebert...it looks like Boebert our friend Boebert She is no my friend she your friend she is now your friend Boebert Yes never been my friend she won't even return calls yes because you met her on OnlyFans Yes, Boebert wins in Colorado maybe. Representative Lauren Boebert has declared victory over challenger Adam Frisch even as the race appears headed to a recount I call bullcrap! Boebert is leading Frisch by just 551 votes that's according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of State's office today Tell me you have no other ISOs but that one? I've got that one Okay But i have another one too Good One

2:27:22 I just couldn't resist putting that in. Poland will be forcing Ukrainian refugees to pay for their accommodation. I would hope so! According to Polish officials this will motivate Ukrainian visitors to find work in Poland as quick as possible and rent accommodations at their own expense. The initiative will be aimed those who have been living in sanatoriums, boarding houses and hostels for months about 20% of the overall Ukrainian refugees

2:28:02 Poles do not hide the fact that some Ukrainians who live for free will have to return to Ukraine because they will not be able to pay for their own accommodations. The Polish employment agency Gremi Personal reports that, because of high prices only 52% of Ukrainians now rent their own flat or room. The rest live at the expense of the company where they work or the government So, the majority of those who live at the expense of the state have been taken off their payrolls as of January 1st. That should make for some fun tension! In Ukraine, the government said waves of Russian strikes have disabled nearly half of the energy system. The winter bombing campaign has plunged millions into darkness for hours on end. Officials also warned today that freezing temperatures are now adding to the pressure on disrupted energy networks. All right here's mine... End of clip

2:29:03 The Russia-Viagra story. It's a classic, the New World Order likes to use it. Code! I think it's code at this point. So just like... where else have we seen this? Libya. ISIS, Libya. Oh they're giving their fighters Viagra to rape and pillage Now you know those two, the Russian comedians? I think they have a radio show. Those two dudes who keep calling people up and pretending to be Putin. They're hilarious those two guys! So those two guys love... these are the kinds of guys that i'd love to meet them

2:29:41 I would drink a vodka with those guys. They did an interview with Pramila Patten and she is the United Nations Special Representative on Sex Violence in Conflict, and she is in fact the one that told the media about the Viagra story! So these guys... Now you got to watch the whole video for the full effect it's long so I only got a minute 20 They start off by saying, hey you know what we're hearing is that it's not just men and women they rape. Women and girls are raping men! And babies! So they're laying into her. Do have any... Have you investigated? You have proof this is happening because we really need to do something about this. Here's where we pick up the conversation. Reminder, this woman is responsible for

2:30:36 For sex and violence in conflict. She is a special representative of the United Nations So she is the one that That told the media this story asking I asked you because you know, that's Russians also tried to Post it as a fake because you know there was a problem so I would like to ask did they provide you any proof for No, like I said it's not my role to go and investigate. It is not the role of my office. I have an advocacy mandate to provide strategic leadership on prevention and response but when I have engaged with the media since I returned from Kiev in May, I have mentioned that I have received reports

2:31:23 from survivors and frontline service providers about women and girls being detained in basement of buildings in Mariupol, gang raped for days. We've Russian soldiers having been equipped with Viagra or other drugs and also they share... So you did not make any investigation about Viagra? It's not my job to make it. I do not have the mandate I sit in New York, in an office in New York and I have an advocacy mandate. My role is not to investigate the investigation that's going on by the Human Rights Monitoring Team and International Commission of Inquiry. In their report so far there is nothing about Viagra

2:32:13 So far in the official report, there's nothing about Viagra. I just have an advocacy role. Service providers on the ground tell me what to say. That's what i do Wow! That's a great...

Yes, it's like a party I don't have any meetup reports Taking place today though, I'd say that's probably over by now. The Crossroads of America Tribal Meetup at St Joseph Brewery and Public House in Indianapolis? Maybe not... It's probably still rocking!

1:54:27 when we have a supercut. This is the one that claims the social media is a danger to democracy... Social media? Social media, yeah! It's social media as a danger I mean January 9th is too but social media is dangerous to democracies. Oh ready? Yeah More alarming, some media outlets publish these same fake stories without checking facts first. The sharing of biased and false news has become all too common on social media. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy.

1:55:22 This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Oh goodness, it's so dangerous to our democracy... And there you go! There's your mainstream media in a nutshell

1:56:04 And we've got a new one to use. We need some alliteration, TTTT what can do with TTTT? Announce the ever-growing turmoil over at Twitter's. Yes it's turmoil over at Twitter everybody! Turmoil over at Twitter ABC. Announcing the ever growing turmoil over at Twitter scores of employees apparently headed for the exit overnight after Elon Musk told workers to decide whether they wanted to stay or go A flood of farewell messages rolling in at Twitter after Elon Musk gave employees an ultimatum. Commit to working in an extremely hardcore fashion, including long hours and high intensity or leave with three months severance

1:56:45 Now, sources tell ABC News dozens of employees are resigning with many sending the salute emoji over the company's internal messaging board. Meanwhile Twitter employees were reportedly locked out of office buildings overnight giving the company more time to figure out who still works there. I've been talking to people all day, one former executive who recently exited told me that with all these departures it's going to be hard just to keep the lights on over there. It comes as a group of Democrats... Really? Is it going to be hard? I mean, so is there a guy who would keep the lights on make sure the switch is in the on position. It was really hard to keep that on. I mean that guy's gone now someone might turn the lights off really ABC. It's going to be hard just to keep the lights on over there. It comes as a group of Democratic senators call for the Federal Trade Commission to investigate Musk's recent actions

1:57:40 Musk has not responded to requests for comment, but in a tweet last night he seemingly joked about how much he paid Twitter. Roughly 44 billion dollars posting How do you make a small fortune in social media? Start out with a large one It's the latest turmoil since the billionaire purchased Twitter. Musk immediately fired 50% of the workforce Then, one of his ideas allowed users to pay for the verification checkmark. Twitter paused the feature after people were impersonating celebrities and brands And last week ABC News obtained exclusive audio of Musk in another meeting demanding his employees return to The Office Some advertisers have now paused spending on the platform until there's more clarity on Twitter's direction

1:58:30 In Musk's other tweet last night he said usage on Twitter just hit an all-time high. Oh I love it, I love it, okay so... So he put the kibosh on work from home is what he did with that one. They don't point that out they just say you know But what I love is that You know, like all companies but certainly Twitter which has been around for a long time and certainly when it comes to trust and safety and HR and all of this they had layers of middle management. Layers and layers and layers of people who why would you show up? They're not doing anything! Yeah I agree with that they're not...you're not doing anything might as well just stay home. I mean i've built enough companies to know it just happens

1:59:16 He's got all these people, and if there is enough money... which there isn't anymore. Anyway let's see how CBS handled the alliteration. Tonight Twitter turmoil continues. I mean come on! ABC AND CBS? I have the PBS version of this, and i don't think they use that. Hold on let me finish this one... Tonight the Twitter turmoil continues. Oh it's a good one! That is a three-parter yes. Tonight the Twitter turmoil continues. Tonight twitter turmoil continues. The new owner Elon Musk is scrambling quite simply to prevent the social media platform from collapsing. Oh no John its collapsing he said without evidence This after hundreds of vital employees quit. Yes!

2:00:00 Exactly. He said without evidence. If it was Trump, it would be without evidence but no. ...media platform from collapsing this after hundreds of vital employees quit CBS's Jonathan Vigliotti spoke with an engineer who was laid off. Oh, vital! Tonight as questions mount over Twitter's future Elon Musk offered little reassurance he has a permanent plan tweeting what should Twitter do next? The culture at Twitter under Elon Musk was definitely a culture of fear, of uncertainty and anxiety. Justine DeCares worked for Twitter for three years before being laid off along with reportedly nearly half the staff earlier this month. DeCares is part of a class action lawsuit against the company

2:00:46 Will Twitter's lights stay on? I've seen systems start to fail already and i expect to see smaller things break and then slowly bigger things start to break especially with all the expertise that went out the door yesterday. This week, Muskafe remaining employees in ultimatum pledged to be extremely hardcore and work long hours or resign by 5 p.m thursday fed up employees went online counting down the deadline The New York Times reporting as many 1200 left. It's really the Twilight Zone and it continues to get more bizarre about a day, and I think Musk with initially 50% cuts now sort of ultimatums internally it has become a game of throne. Musk later tweeted a skull and crossbones followed by this image of a Twitter tombstone. We had thousands of engineers and its not like they were sitting around twiddling their thumbs

2:01:39 Yeah, they were. And Musk has called for an emergency meeting for all remaining engineers in light of the uncertainty around Twitter and out of abundance of caution CBS News is pausing its activity on the social media site as it continues to monitor the platform major. Why? Because they don't have control over messaging the way that like it anymore They're just trying to start an exodus. Why does CBS gonna back off? Because they built their own Mastodon instance I don't think so Of course not Your first answer was correct, i thought you were going to reiterate it They lost control

2:02:24 Now Elon is... Maybe the agency lost control or maybe who knows somebody lost control. I would say this is nonsense, you know you don't need a thousand engineers to write it's a glorified website with a database back end and you know I don't see it. Yeah yeah I mean in essence you're right now Musk is dropping breadcrumbs which could be total false trail but there's like pictures of a whiteboard And it's kind of interesting because it shows all the different blocks of logic that ultimately create what you see on Twitter. They use an audio analogy, analogy of mixers so we have the home timeline mixer and into that they've got a submixer of the ads... Oh this is like take off of their parody

2:03:19 That was on YouTube. Completely, yes! Like the whistleblowers who are also sketchy who did that whole half-hour special of the dials in the control room trying to mess with you it's probably exactly like that and so they have knobs what I'm saying is not like an algo Twitter is the algo That whole thing is just one algo and if you see what's being mixed into your timeline, i.e., into your brain all the time... So that may just be something old because why would he show that? From the same board room not a board meeting but like a conference room

2:04:00 There's a video of him and I don't know these other players but they seem to be his confidants. And they're laughing about what they should do, and actually they're laughing about all these idiot engineers who for years have been trying to create an edit button Which as you know is an unsuccessful. How long does that take? They have been working on an edit button for a year. Well, it's hard and it's tricky situation. And its incredibly complex! Yes, good one indeed I mean we don't even have a map thats as good as WeChat in China In China you can like live on WeChat basically It's like

2:04:40 Yeah, everyone's like that. Like you live on WeChat, you do payments, you do everything it's like yeah It's great basically checks kick-ass and we don't have anything like WeChat outside of China So I was like my idea would be like how about if we just copy WeChat? Hey Copy them Copies WeChat. Yeah pretty much Yes Okay so Adam has a new theory By the way, and before you get to the theory that's the way it works in Silicon Valley. You see somebody doing something right? You copy it! Yep How hard can that be?! You don't steal their code although they do that too! Bah ha! Here comes Adams new theory What is one of the largest investors in Tesla I do not know Tencent Oh really Yes who has a big stake in WeChat Tencent how about this

2:05:38 He's not stealing the code. They're giving it to him willingly, why not? That's the real way to do it! Make a lot of noise, make a lot of bullcrap and just bolt on the WeChat engine you're done Yeah, you're quiet. Great one I can't no I have no pushback on that unfortunately Thank You Then you would be this brazen then you would be like screw the engineers Although I've had a company with three brazen there they're not only screen They're mocking them outright and publishing this yeah to make it worse

2:06:23 So, that would be the way to do it is just have the technology stack all ready to just bolt it on. All they're doing is putting the finishing touches on their design so you know they make sure Twitter looks good and then they may have no ads! No ads? Don't worry about it we're good, we're good...no ads And it'll work for iPhone users first because Android is just slower with I think implementation with iPhones what they really like So I think it'll roll out iOS first. But it feels to me like that would be the strategy."

2:07:01 Now, I like in the theory. It's got everything going on and it could have actually been pre-done in advance before he even made the $44 billion bid working with them. Yes yes because you already knows that the players because he's got an investor there they probably talks to the CEO and you can say hey what do you think? And the way Stammers What do you think if we took your technology from the WeChat and put it as a core stack? No, no no. That's not how it went They call up... Hero Iran! Iran I have good idea You put WeChat in Twitter Somehow these guys become Japanese

2:07:52 That's what I'm thinking. I think they drove it and... It could be, same thing again about the pricing was a delay. You're tight with the guy. Yes! Somebody comes up with this idea in advance Elon mulls it over he's got the big dough Does the deal backs off of the deal for some reason cuz I comes in and says you can't do that because it's no time He needed to buy time. Nothing was about the price at all he needed to buy some time Maybe because maybe we chat or maybe a ten cent went Iran. I don't like you now You have probably thinks now you have problem, Iran Now what she is gonna be 100% racist? Now, you know why were up with a little nub at the corner of the big giant Fediverse It's you

2:08:37 I'm sorry. I have to dial it back used to be able to do that and it was hilarious You've become woke Dvorak That'll be the day just he's just become woke So but here's a funny thing this is the truck you heard about the Trump Twitter suit oh This is a very funny lawsuit because you could make out on this but it's got nothing to do with the Elon, but this is the funny Trump Twitter suit clip. I didn't know anything about this Former US President Donald Trump has asked an appeals court to revive his lawsuit against Twitter over his permanent suspension His November 14th filing alleges that government officials use social media platforms as so-called cat's paws to suppress opinions

2:09:28 and that those opinions turn out to be correct or at least debatable. The filing references Hunter Biden's laptop, the COVID-19 pandemic and 2020 election integrity. The legal brief draws an analogy with Galileo who was convicted of heresy by the Catholic Church. It reads, the earth does revolve around the sun and it was Hunter Biden not Russian disinformation agents who dropped off a laptop full of incriminating evidence at a repair shop in Delaware The lawsuit against former CEO of Twitter Jack Dorsey and the federal government seeks compensatory and punitive damages. It also demands a court order requiring Twitter to immediately reinstate his account

2:10:08 The cat's paw theory of liability? This cat's paw, you should look it up. Yeah I'm looking at right now is crazy! It this has cropped up in the news...I have never heard this term until like a month ago No and and now this is the second or third time I've heard it referenced so somehow it's in play and I'm not sure why or how this is NTD It's obviously they picked it up from someplace else, but I don't know why it's in play But it is so cat's paws one of these little phrases recently here. We go recently this is from 2011 the supreme So it's an old one

2:10:46 The Supreme Court in 2011 issued an opinion upholding the US cat's paw theory of employer liability under which an employer may be liable for discrimination in an adverse employment decision against an employee where the ultimate decision maker is unbiased and has no discriminatory motives. Under this theory, the discriminatory motive of a non-decision maker is imputed to the decision maker and employer where the discriminator has some significant influence that leads to the adverse employment action. It's like top down so in other words if you're like a minion and you take some action that turns out to be discriminatory because you are influenced by the corporate culture which is influenced mostly by the CEO

2:11:38 Dorsey in this case. Dorsey in this case, then the cat's paw... Cat's paw has something to do with that I don't know what it has to do with cats! Is is trying to basically sue someone personally around the shield of corporate liability? I think they could be yeah sounds like whatever it is Trump's got you know if Trump's not unfamiliar with legal shenanigans. I like a cat's paw So cat's paws and play we have to take a look at it. I like it yeah Okay, so there's another big story that came up

2:12:16 And I do have a lot of clips for this from PBS and NUTENG. Is the Saudi prince all of a sudden biting? Double your excitement! We got NUTENG AND PBS children, get ready for it! If you want to tune out now is the time. Hey parents don't give your kids any sugar they'll be bopping off the walls when they hear this Yeah, very funny. So... Yes the Saudi prince I know it's like all of a sudden we're all up his butt. Everybody is jacked up about this and there are some good arguments in fact the better arguments come out of PBS even though they're a little dull but it's PBS and it's like uh they'll give you one summary which is that the head estate

2:13:02 The idea is that the Saudi prince that Biden hates became the prime minister under some circumstance and the head of state is exempt from certain kinds of legal actions. So, so Biden stepping in it for no apparent reason besides... Hello! That's not under the cat's paw law True. So let's play this new Tang Dynasty stuff, which is a little funnier. This is Saudi Prince Immunity 1. The Biden administration Thursday determined that Saudi Arabia's crown prince should be granted immunity in a lawsuit over the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. NTD's Jessica Beatty has more on what many consider a controversial U-turn on the part of President Biden. The Biden administration has suggested immunity for Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman

2:13:52 This, despite the fact that the administration has said Jamal Khashoggi a Washington Post journalist was murdered in 2018 at The Prince's direction. Bin Salman who denied the allegations was recently made the Saudi Prime Minister because of this the administration says The Prince now qualifies for immunity as a foreign head of government The head of Democracy for the Arab World Now, Sarah Leah Whitson criticized Biden's immunity suggestion Friday saying Biden previously promised to hold the crown prince accountable. To instead, two years later have him intervene in a judicial proceeding that he did not have to intervene in. To instead say that he is immune from prosecution, to literally block his prosecution is a pretty shocking development

2:14:43 Yeah, that's interesting. Okay because he is a head of state or former head of state? Well he is the prime minister which means he is the head of state in some sort but everybody acknowledges that the head of state is the king of Saudi Arabia! So that is like a point of contention. Weak weak we're not falling for it and so why has Biden you know Biden has just I guess someone said, you know you're gonna have to do something because Biden needs to get that oil pumping. Yes but it's not working! He can't even get his own blood pressure up. Let's go with Saudi Prince immunity." The federal lawsuit against Bin Salman was brought by Khashoggi's fiancé and Whitson's group. It alleges a team of assassins kidnapped, drugged, tortured and killed Khashoggi at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and dismembered his body. Khashoggi's remains were never found

2:15:38 Whitson says Biden's move gives the crown prince a green light. Shielding him from accountability is giving him a green light to keep at it, keep attacking people in the United States as he has been doing because they criticize him, keep jailing women and men in Saudi Arabia because they have an opinion about the politics of their country The filing however said the Biden administration takes no view on the merits of the present suit while calling the murder heinous The administration did say it imposed visa restrictions and other penalties on lower-ranking Saudi officials. Always give it to the lower rankers, stick it to them! So now we have a more sobering report from PBS

2:16:26 That was exciting. Now the real stuff comes, okay? State Department Saudis and WTF1 this is actually kind of there's a number of interesting things in this report. The state department issued a legal opinion yesterday that said Saudi Arabia's crown prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman known as MBS has immunity from US courts The crown prince has been sued in the U.S. by the fiancee of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He was murdered in Saudi's Istanbul consulate in 2018, and U.S. intelligence believes MBS ordered the killing. Meantime, for months, the Biden administration has been pushing Saudi Arabia to increase oil production amid high gas prices.

2:17:11 So, should the U.S. have been tougher with Saudi Arabia? For that we get two views. John Bellinger was the legal adviser to the State Department during the George W. Bush administration and Gregory Stanton is a former State Department lawyer and founder and president of Genocide Watch, a nonprofit that seeks to stop genocide and its perpetrators Okay, just the two guests. What do you want a genocide watch guy giving opinions on this particular topic for? It's idiotic! He's just there to create noise about Saudi Arabia killing the Yemenis

2:17:50 Well, he never brings that into the really what is doing there you'd ask me I would like to know it makes no sense But uh, but he's there anyway cuz he's a good chatterbox and yet get gassy talks well And so here we go with the part two of this welcome to you both. Thank you for being here Let's jump right in Greg What do you make of this call by the US was this the right decision? I think the State Department got this wrong the The fact is that the law here is the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act of the United States. And in the opinion they gave, they only cited customary international law

2:18:32 In fact, the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act has a number of exceptions that have been actually passed by Congress and signed into law. The 2008 Defense Act was accompanied with an exception to allow people to sue certain governments that were declared to be terrorist states. Right like Iran But then in 2016 there was another act passed, the Justice for Victims of Terrorist Act that specifically takes away the need for the State Department to designate a country as a terrorist country. And it makes it possible to actually sue anybody involved in murder, in torture,

2:19:13 hijacking and hostage-taking. You think this should have fit under that exception? I think it's very clear that MBS was responsible for the murder and for the torture of Jamal Khashoggi Let me bring in John on that point then, President Biden has said he did agree with the CIA assessment that MBS did order the operation that led to Khashoggi killing so why issue immunity in a murder case Well, I think for the reasons you just mentioned this was a very uncomfortable if not unpalatable decision for the Biden administration to have to make given the really awful circumstances of the killing of Jamal Khashoggi. But the administration was simply complying with its obligations under international law What? Yeah! What obligations under international law does he speak of? Well let's play part three and you'll find out

2:20:09 International law recognizes that heads of state and government like now Prime Minister bin Salman enjoy immunity from civil suits or in fact from criminal prosecutions in the courts of other countries. So under international law he had immunity here, and for that reason going back decades every administration has asserted immunity on behalf any foreign head of state who is sued here in the United States, often for really horrific actions. When I was legal advisor to the State Department, I had to sign a immunity determination for Pope Benedict who was sued with respect to the clergy scandal so this was not a favor to Saudi Arabia this was simply compelled by international law

2:20:57 Brick, what do you say to that? Decades of precedent here. I think the reason that doesn't hold here is that MBS is not the head of state in Saudi Arabia. He's prime minister right? Well they just made him prime minister so he might be able to argue this point but the fact is a head of state in Saudi Arabia is the king! This is just a prince So the only one who would have this right under international law would be the king. What would be the U.S. options in this case? What would you have liked to see happen? What I would've like to see is that he could be sued, and that is specifically allowed under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act and its exceptions

2:21:39 He's not being tried criminally here. This is a lawsuit to get compensation for the murder of a man, a very great man in fact. So for me this is not a case where it was governed by international law at all. Such a great man that the pronunciation of his last name has changed yet again. So that's, everyone is up to speed on this. You know the arch enemy of the Saudis is Qatar. Are they not arch enemies? She's one of them So is Iran. Right, right but Qatar actually retaliated against the US making this move did you realize that? No this is news to me Soccer fans are getting ready to celebrate Sunday's World Cup kickoff but the party plans got downgraded after host country Qatar banned alcohol at the stadiums Oh yeah This sudden reversal surprised Budweiser The global beer giant paid 75 million dollars to be the official beer sponsor

2:22:40 A now deleted Budweiser tweet captured the corporate mood. Well, this is awkward... That's a direct attack on American commerce I never thought of that because i knew about this and Qatar is a fundamentalist Muslim country and it always surprised me they would serve beer there anyway but It was initially allowed it seems to me and now they pull back on it. You might be right, but the problem with your argument is Budweiser's not an American company. Oh you're right its Belgian now you've right good point well there goes my theory was an attack against Europe No I think it was just a... I think that here's the thing I think there's evidence of not ponying up enough yes did you

2:23:36 Now, where was it? Did Biden make an announcement about this or is this just something that got out there and people were grabbing it. They came out of the State Department... But they didn't do a huge announcement someone caught it and started making trouble that's what I don't know if it was huge or not did they want they're not covering this properly enough they don't we don't see blinking or anyone. Of course not I don't understand this. It has to do with 9-11, it can be just hohohoi...it has to be 9-11 because there was all these families who wanted to sue Saudi Arabia for 9-11? No, I think this really has nothing to do with anything except kissing his ass and getting him to pump more oil! Why don't they just pump more American Oil?! I mean why did... No you can't do that, its no good. Climate change.

2:24:28 I don't know. Here's a good story for you. Yes? 55 tons of pot! Spanish police say they confiscated over 55 tons of marijuana, the largest amount of the drug ever seized in the country. How is this good news for me? How is this good news?! And weighing more than an adult humpback whale! Eight farms have been dismantled in a northeastern region of the country and 20 people were detained on suspected electricity fraud and offenses against public health All the marijuana farms were concealed as legal hemp plantations. They were registered by a trading company and located among other warehouses. Agents seized over 187,000 plants and 21 tons of marijuana buds between June and October In a separate bust earlier this month Spain announced it seized over 35 tons of marijuana A record-setting amount at the time

2:25:26 Spanish officials say that 55 tons of the drug could have an estimated value of almost $130 million. I like that, something's going on here! This is a war on drugs obviously...I like the comparison with the humpback whale. The Belgian authorities are close second they announced according to VRT News They have their agents, now you know Belgium has big ports. Big big ports you know rivals Antwerp the port of Antwerp is an important port. Isn't Antwerp in Belgium? Yes that's what I'm saying Antwerp. You said rivals Antwerp Oh it was rivals Rotterdam is what I meant to say. Rivals Rotterdam, Antwerp And Rotterdam is a huge port When it comes to drugs

2:26:18 Belgian authorities now say, hey we have seized so much coke it's overloading the incinerators. That's a good one! That's a good one yeah but we're not seizing anything here We just let them come through and it's fentanyl I think Joe Biden Not just Joe Biden So Boebert...it looks like Boebert our friend Boebert She is no my friend she your friend she is now your friend Boebert Yes never been my friend she won't even return calls yes because you met her on OnlyFans Yes, Boebert wins in Colorado maybe. Representative Lauren Boebert has declared victory over challenger Adam Frisch even as the race appears headed to a recount I call bullcrap! Boebert is leading Frisch by just 551 votes that's according to unofficial results from the Colorado Secretary of State's office today Tell me you have no other ISOs but that one? I've got that one Okay But i have another one too Good One

2:27:22 I just couldn't resist putting that in. Poland will be forcing Ukrainian refugees to pay for their accommodation. I would hope so! According to Polish officials this will motivate Ukrainian visitors to find work in Poland as quick as possible and rent accommodations at their own expense. The initiative will be aimed those who have been living in sanatoriums, boarding houses and hostels for months about 20% of the overall Ukrainian refugees

2:28:02 Poles do not hide the fact that some Ukrainians who live for free will have to return to Ukraine because they will not be able to pay for their own accommodations. The Polish employment agency Gremi Personal reports that, because of high prices only 52% of Ukrainians now rent their own flat or room. The rest live at the expense of the company where they work or the government So, the majority of those who live at the expense of the state have been taken off their payrolls as of January 1st. That should make for some fun tension! In Ukraine, the government said waves of Russian strikes have disabled nearly half of the energy system. The winter bombing campaign has plunged millions into darkness for hours on end. Officials also warned today that freezing temperatures are now adding to the pressure on disrupted energy networks. All right here's mine... End of clip

2:29:03 The Russia-Viagra story. It's a classic, the New World Order likes to use it. Code! I think it's code at this point. So just like... where else have we seen this? Libya. ISIS, Libya. Oh they're giving their fighters Viagra to rape and pillage Now you know those two, the Russian comedians? I think they have a radio show. Those two dudes who keep calling people up and pretending to be Putin. They're hilarious those two guys! So those two guys love... these are the kinds of guys that i'd love to meet them

2:29:41 I would drink a vodka with those guys. They did an interview with Pramila Patten and she is the United Nations Special Representative on Sex Violence in Conflict, and she is in fact the one that told the media about the Viagra story! So these guys... Now you got to watch the whole video for the full effect it's long so I only got a minute 20 They start off by saying, hey you know what we're hearing is that it's not just men and women they rape. Women and girls are raping men! And babies! So they're laying into her. Do have any... Have you investigated? You have proof this is happening because we really need to do something about this. Here's where we pick up the conversation. Reminder, this woman is responsible for

2:30:36 For sex and violence in conflict. She is a special representative of the United Nations So she is the one that That told the media this story asking I asked you because you know, that's Russians also tried to Post it as a fake because you know there was a problem so I would like to ask did they provide you any proof for No, like I said it's not my role to go and investigate. It is not the role of my office. I have an advocacy mandate to provide strategic leadership on prevention and response but when I have engaged with the media since I returned from Kiev in May, I have mentioned that I have received reports

2:31:23 from survivors and frontline service providers about women and girls being detained in basement of buildings in Mariupol, gang raped for days. We've Russian soldiers having been equipped with Viagra or other drugs and also they share... So you did not make any investigation about Viagra? It's not my job to make it. I do not have the mandate I sit in New York, in an office in New York and I have an advocacy mandate. My role is not to investigate the investigation that's going on by the Human Rights Monitoring Team and International Commission of Inquiry. In their report so far there is nothing about Viagra

2:32:13 So far in the official report, there's nothing about Viagra. I just have an advocacy role. Service providers on the ground tell me what to say. That's what i do Wow! That's a great...

I like him me too. I have one last clip then which is slightly educational Oh you sure that's not dangerous that we start to do that? It says house It's a house rules change This is an NTD report about what the Republicans are up to they're immediately starting to change House rules and this little tidbit at The end that I thought was a was a Wow

2:48:26 House Republicans passed some expected rule changes on Thursday. Several of the rules proposed serve to weaken the power of the house speaker here are the details On Thursday, House Republicans passed a first round of several expected rule changes The conference addressed 12 of 24 proposed rule changes put forward by GOP members Several of the proposals weakened the power of the Speaker Many Republicans remain lukewarm about the prospect of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House One of the new rules passed by the conference would make it easier to remove a sitting speaker. The rule allows the majority of the GOP caucus to vote to remove this speaker. Currently, the Speaker's seat can only be vacated following a motion from the House Majority Leader. Under the new rule any member can put forward a motion to depose the Speaker A majority of the conference must then agree to the motion before it can go to a vote. On effect of that is to prevent Democrats from placing someone in the Speakers' seat

2:49:18 Wow! Did you know that? No, in fact back at you my good friend. Of course I didn't know that! Educational clips are the way to go and how do you...and how can we know that Adam doesn't know that because Adam is nightlight not like John. Adam can't actually sit through NTD like John can which just goes to show why there's two of us on this program
