About this episode

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Washington D.C. to address a joint session of Congress, requesting $45 billion in aid while facing intense security protocols due to alleged assassination plots by Vladimir Putin. The visit, marked by standing ovations from leaders like Mitch McConnell and Chuck Schumer, utilized historical parallels to the Battle of Saratoga to secure long-term military commitments. Critics noted a significant translation gaffe during the address where Zelensky appeared to mislabel his own nation.

Domestic crises intensify as El Paso Mayor Oscar Leaser declares a humanitarian emergency at the southern border, prompting the Texas National Guard to install miles of razor wire along the Rio Grande. Meanwhile, an Arctic blast threatens the Texas power grid as Chief Justice John Roberts issues a temporary stay on the expiration of Title 42. In the financial sector, Wells Fargo agreed to a $3.7 billion settlement for consumer abuses, while FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried waived his extradition from the Bahamas to face federal fraud charges in the United States.

Arctic Blast and Texas Grid Concerns

Texas is experiencing a rapid temperature drop as an Arctic blast moves through the Hill Country, with temperatures falling 10 degrees in two hours. Concerns regarding the stability of the Texas power grid persist, though the lack of snow may prevent a total failure similar to previous years.

Volodymyr Zelensky Addresses U.S. Congress

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Washington D.C. to address a joint session of Congress and meet with President Joe Biden. The visit, which included a request for $45 billion in financial assistance, was marked by multiple standing ovations from lawmakers. Critics noted a translation gaffe where Zelensky appeared to thank Congress for assistance for his "crime country" instead of "own country."

01:45 Yeah. And so I have some color to go around that, but if you have a little presentation because this to me personally was one of the most insulting moments in American political history Well you're not the only one who feels that way but mostly I think most people don't feel that way That's the funny thing about it. I think we're outliers on this one It's yeah it's kind of bizarre Well, let's see. Here is the nutshell. This is a four second clip that I think this was the nutshell of everything. Uh... hold on a second. The Linsky one? Nutshell! Yes! Thank you We have it You know you can tell he's a comedian. You really can

02:30 What the hell was that? Because of his timing, his type of time, the way he pauses. There was an article... Let me see what this is it must be I think it's The Atlantic let me just see if this is it No Town Hall but you know lauding his comedic timing like where did you hear something funny seriously like oh yes she was just great Have we ever had a foreign dictator address both houses of Congress that they all stood up and applauded? Oh, they were giving him standing O's to an extreme. I mean why are we the only ones that are...

03:17 Even right wing... Suckers, we're the suckers. No I mean even M5M who would hate anything that has to do with spending American money they're all in on it oh yeah Oh he's so brave he's such a hero this man and look at him with his t-shirt He knows how to do it! You came right off the battlefield I'm surprised you didn't have his munitions belt on You should have had a hand grenade. You should've shot a hand grenade hanging back there or something, at least I thought it had a Schumer clip on here. I don't know where it is. Well, you look for the Schumer clip... No, I got a clip here. This F-24, France 24 giving commentary on him. This is Zelensky's F-24 clip. President Biden and you could see President Zelensky who was pretty emotional and he did say that they were going to discuss at length very important issues but that his

04:12 first and foremost message was one of appreciation, appreciation for US support up till now. Now this is about the... This is not about his speech it's about him and Biden talking together right? I believe so So I watched that on whitehouse.gov And they had their own little lady in the, you know... They have their own TV studio. Wasn't this done in their TV studio? I'm sure it was! So there on their soundstage yeah, they got the two lecterns there. Well that's the one with the... That's the... I don't know where that is. It has a fireplace or trunk shoes that say so. Anyway, so you have your little lady doing the ASL sign language in the corner and then we also have an on-the-fly translator

05:00 Who for once did an accurate translation. Truth comes out. Thank you Mr President, for 45 billion because this is a big assistance and I hope that the Congress will approve this financial assistance for our crime country. For our crimes! For our crimes ladies and gentlemen! Boy, you're really swinging for the fences right off the bat. You like that huh? You like that huh? Yeah it was a goodie I went as hard as i can! Do I have another one for you and then then I'll leave you to it Al Jazeera... I only got three more but go on yeah okay Kara oh I did it again here is uh okay go on here is al jazeera melinda herring is ukraine specialist and deputy director of the atlantic council's eurasia center she says zelensky security will be a top

CHAPTER 03 / 48 Discussion

Security Concerns and Putin's Alleged Assassination Plots

Melinda Herring of the Atlantic Council highlighted the extreme security measures required for President Zelensky's secret trip to Washington. Reports suggest that Russian President Vladimir Putin has sought to assassinate Zelensky since February, making the diplomatic visit a high-risk operation.

vladimir putin· volodymyr zelensky· atlantic council· security· assassination

05:52 priority. It's a big deal because there are enormous security concerns, we know that the Russians wanted to whack Volodymyr Zelensky back in February so this visit had to be kept a secret it was a secret until the 11th hour until it was no longer a secret I think it's also significant that he's coming to Washington first to say thank you to President Biden and then he is also going to Congress So I expect him to spend most of his time and energy on Capitol Hill because he knows that Capitol Hill has the most sympathy and can do the most for him. It looks like Congress is going to continue the same policies toward Ukraine. On weapons in particular, Republicans are solid where Republicans are not solid and where I'm worried is budget support and this is the category of money it's billions of dollars that taxpayers are giving to make sure that the Ukrainian state stays afloat So there's first...I love that she says Putin wanted to whack him! Since when has this?

06:54 News type language, but okay. It's not in fact it doesn't if you don't know what it means because you didn't watch enough of the Sopranos You wouldn't know what she's talking about Slap him in the face I think it was a mistake to do it in this, because you know this omnibus bill still hasn't been signed off on at least it wasn't last night and I don't know if they're going to have a vote today which includes this 45 or 47 billion dollars. I think it gives them too much wiggle room for the American public to get pissed off about it as people start to learn it trickles out very slowly

CHAPTER 04 / 48 Discussion

Congressional Leadership and Russia-Ukraine Policy

U.S. congressional leaders including Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi, and Chuck Schumer are criticized for their enthusiastic support of Ukraine. Critics argue that these leaders maintain a Cold War-era mindset regarding Russia and are overly influenced by the interests of the military-industrial complex.

mitch mcconnell· nancy pelosi· chuck schumer· military-industrial complex· russia

07:32 But, but I also... to us it's fast. But believe me no one, people aren't paying attention they just think oh yeah that flag! I gotta make sure update my emojis, my avatars. But also we have to point out the Pelosi Schumer what's his name Donald who's the Who's the Republican leader? What's his name, the turtle guy. Mitch McConnell. McConnell. They're all 80 years old they still have a hard-on for Russia from the 60s! This is dumb I mean Pelosi was plotzing herself. Oh let me kiss you oh yeah she had to give him a big kiss. And this is partially... and a flag

08:17 It's just trauma from the Soviet Union. Totally, yeah that's a good point. And it is not appropriate! It's not appropriate at all and Schumer was just completely off the rails I wish he had that clip up but i'm gonna run it on Sunday it's so good but let's listen to Zelensky some more this in front of Congress this is Zelensky 2 here's here this to me as a complaint he's complaining already So here is the front line. The tyranny which has no lack of cruelty against the lives of free people and your support is crucial not just to stand in such fight but to get to the turning point, to win on the battlefield We have artillery Yes Thank you

09:06 We have it. Is it enough? Honestly, not really." That was the line that The Atlantic thought was funny! That's the line! It's not funny... Yeah! It literally wrote that they thought he was human. There were some chuckling I guess which wasn't on your clip. They thought that was funny we see that as a complaint exactly. It WAS a complaint and that's why Congress those morons find it- I'm just kidding I have to use the R word on them retards I have to use it They're retarded in their thinking, they're retarded in their actions. Everything is wrong about this!

09:44 This is escalated to a point that is very troublesome. Okay, it's out of control the flags and all that okay I get you, it's easy to mind-control some people...I like the fact he gave them a flag and they held up to look at it was backwards That was the flag just that morning had signed by troops on the front lines which includes increasing amount of American mercenaries Yeah, they're getting killed left and right by the way. Well you know yeah so Now this was the only clip I have. I mean i could have clipped a lot but it's just kind of tedious to listen to him But So he's trying to I think appeal to the congress and American public when he throws out whoever wrote his speech threw in a bunch of little what they thought would appeal to American tidbits

CHAPTER 05 / 48 Discussion

Historical References in Zelensky's Congressional Speech

President Zelensky's speech to Congress included historical parallels to the Battle of Saratoga and references to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Analysts suggest these references were likely inserted by U.S. State Department speechwriters, such as those working for Antony Blinken, to appeal to an American audience, despite many modern Americans being unfamiliar with the specific historical details.

battle of saratoga· horatio gates· franklin d. roosevelt· speechwriting· american history

10:39 Yes, yes. What a Ukrainian in a bar in Odessa sitting next to a hooker might think Americans would know about. Pull out more cannons and shells are needed. Wait, is this the one? I'm just playing random... Saratoga! That it is? Okay. Pull out more canons and shells are needed if so just like the Battle of Saratoga The fight for Bahamut will change the trajectory of our war for independence and freedom. What is the battle of Saratoga? No American knows... We don't teach kids American history anymore! I DON'T KNOW THIS! Nobody under 60, which includes you, knows about the Battle of Saratoga

11:38 And so, but they threw it out there because if you look at American history from a foreign perspective this is a very important little battle. It was really one of the turning points in 1777 when the British were kind of turned back with this bonehead I think Burgoyne was his name who's a British guy bringing in a bunch of troops into New York from Canada charging us from Canada and they're all beaten back And there was our guy, we had a general named Horatio Mortimer or something. Yeah, Mortimer's Gates. So this was Saratoga New York? Yeah well no it's now called Schuyler I think is his name. Right right okay and so

12:22 if I pronounced that right. But then this guy Gates, this general he defeated the British and it allowed... And did two things to allow the French saw this and said hey we can join now because we think these guys could win which i think is a reference they're trying to get at with his mention of Saratoga in this stupid speech. The other thing is it kind of rose General Washington up because he was supposedly the strategist behind the whole thing So it was important, but not to Americans. Well who wrote that? What bonehead wrote that? Who would... Somebody's one of his buddies who wrote the speech Who knew a little American history and they knew more American History than Americans do No this has The what's our I'm drawing blanks today. What's our Secretary of State Jake? Blinken Abe Lincoln This has his

13:21 fingerprints all over it. He's the kind of elitist that would come up with that I'm not gonna argue that he's not You're not arguing with me at all today. This is very disappointing. Why did you even show up? I don't know why, but stop and go ahead! It's possible that he's totally an Ivy League asshole to think that anybody is going to relate to that comment. Nobody related to it because nobody knows we are Americans

13:59 from out of the country that we have to study for our citizenship. We're not foreigners, we're not immigrants! Hello? Unless were an immigrant... But there were more more than that. There was a number of references like that in there I think I had a Roosevelt reference at some point Yes, it was a Roosevelt reference which he confused because he also said somebody I forgot to use You didn't clip you screwed up. Yeah thought you would clip that It was screwed up when he said it was Roosevelt talking about sign somebody but he confused two presidents Roosevelt whose wife ran the show Is it not true? No, no. You're thinking of Woodrow Wilson I thought Eleanor Roosevelt ran the show No she was the...no She was the lesbian in the corner Running the show! Hello! Well she may have been running some show but it wasn't that one This is a...you've heard of Elf on the Shelf The NOA gender version as Lesbian In The Corner I'll leave it at that Yeah yeah I won't Good because I can't do it

Conservative Media Personalities and Relief Factor Sponsorship

Former Trump administration official Sebastian Gorka and legal duo Joe DiGenova and Victoria Toensing are noted for their presence on specific radio networks. These personalities frequently promote the supplement Relief Factor, leading to observations about the commercial nature of conservative talk radio and the proliferation of political podcasts.

15:07 Anyway, so the guy was you know he comes up.

Yes Gorka and Larry Elders and all these guys are under sex slave possession. Well Elder has got a better gig he is on NTD. But Elder is also on that radio network Is he?

But we have so many guests and we have a very special couple um I don't really need to introduce them because we have a handful a soupçon, or coterie of freedom fighters in America that are usually singular. But these are the most freedom fightiest couple out there! It's Victoria Townsend and Joe DiGenova! I wondered where they went? We found them all in the same nest it's amazing! Relief factor

CHAPTER 07 / 48 Discussion

Mitch McConnell on Ukraine as Top Priority

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell stated that providing assistance to Ukraine to defeat Russia is the number one priority for the United States. This stance has drawn criticism from those who believe domestic issues should take precedence over foreign military funding.

18:22 Relief factor yet Joe to Jennifer areas. I wonder where he went to now and his wife Victoria Thompson All right back to the back to Zelensky back to one of those 80 year olds traumatized by the Soviet Union the Cuban Missile Crisis of the 60s really mind-controlled MK Ultra whatever turtle face I used to defend him but i can't anymore McConnell. The guy's undefendable he's undefendable making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming. What is this? That's a tell to me, making sure the Defense Department can deal with the major threats. Making sure that the Defense Department can deal with the major threats coming from Russia and China. Oh yeah!

19:15 providing assistance for the Ukrainians to defeat the Russians. That's the number one priority of United States right now, according most Republicans that sort how we see these challenges confronting other countries at moment. Yeah and I agree that is what most Republicans who are all in on the military-industrial complex the way they are talking right now. It's the most important thing and every single one of them who thinks that way should not ever be voted into office again I don't know how they got voted in before, and this guy is the worst of them Because we're stupid No nobody pays attention nobody cares Listen to NOAGENDA people save your country Save the world maybe

CHAPTER 08 / 48 Discussion

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer formally welcomed President Zelensky to the U.S. Capitol, wearing Ukrainian colors. Schumer described the visit as a historic day for the U.S. Congress and a high honor for the young democracy of Ukraine.

20:10 Do you have more from Zelensky? That's all I got. Yeah, yeah...I see a Zelensky by Schumer. I had the Schumer clip and forgot it over there. Yeah! I found it for ya. Zelensky by Schumer. Seems like the Schumer clip to me. Oh, it must've been off of the bottom of the... Can I play it? Yes please. Mr President, I see that you are in your Ukrainian yellow and blue as am I. And thats appropriate because this will be a day to remember In the history of United States Congress when we welcome President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine. This is President Zelensky's first trip outside Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's invasion The president of this young democracy will address members from both chambers in a joint meeting of Congress It is always a high honor to welcome a foreign head of state to congress Bullcrap!

CHAPTER 09 / 48 Discussion

Vladimir Putin's Military Strategy and Nuclear Readiness

Russian President Vladimir Putin held an extended meeting with defense officials to set military objectives for the New Year. Putin emphasized the development of Russia's nuclear combat readiness and framed the conflict as a broader war against NATO and the West rather than just Ukraine.

vladimir putin· russian defense ministry· nuclear forces· nato· special military operation

21:03 Yes, indeed Chuck Schumer this will go down in history as the day that you just stood there and were a traitor. Literally it was traitorous! Treacherous against American interests and your creepy sock up. I figured i'd provide what no one else provides which is what Putin's saying. Gee whiz there's actually people reporting on it. Putin had something to say nothing specifically This is from France 24. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been holding an extended meeting with top officials from the Russian Defense Ministry, the meeting to set up objectives for the Russian military mid claims as we just heard there from Ukraine that a new attack has been planned for the New Year. Putin saying that Russia will continue developing its military potential and the combat readiness of nuclear forces against the back

21:59 drop of that offensive. Earlier I spoke to our correspondent Nick Halsworth. Well, we've seen some initial reports of what he's saying and it is all fighting talk. He is basically telling his military that Russia has to increase its military potential He's insisting that Russia will fulfill the tasks it set itself in the so-called special military operation. He harks back to the past, he says that the Russian troops in Ukraine are fighting like heroes of Russia's previous wars. He reiterates again that the task is to improve the military forces

22:44 He says that they've gained a huge amount of experience in Ukraine. And interestingly, he says that Russian military chiefs should analyze NATO's experience. I mean again, Carson is not as a battle between Russia and Ukraine but as a war between Russia and the U.S., Russia in the West, Russia and NATO. So, I mean it's all fight and talk whether that is really going to be backed up by the military hardware and the experience manpower that he needs if he is going to prolong this war and open a new offensive in the New Year after 10 months of which his forces have lost about 100,000

23:29 men either killed, missing wounded or taken prisoner according to Ukrainian and Western estimates. That remains to be seen. Yes that remains to be seen for me too how many people actually died. It remains to be seen So I guess listening to our new leader of the yellow and blue party Volodymyr Zelenskyy the only way this ends is if regime change is undertaken in Russia. It has to, it is Putin who has to go did I understand that correctly? Yeah So that's not gonna happen! I presume that that's just not gonna happen so there will never be a peace process but let's say they try to negotiate peace which has been thwarted every single time I believe by us Who would do the negotiations? Is it Macron

CHAPTER 10 / 48 Discussion

Potential Peace Negotiations and European Diplomacy

Speculation regarding potential peace negotiations in the Russia-Ukraine war suggests that leaders like Emmanuel Macron or Recep Tayyip Erdoğan might act as mediators. However, concerns remain that the military-industrial complex benefits from a prolonged conflict, hindering immediate diplomatic resolutions.

emmanuel macron· recep tayyip erdogan· peace treaty· turkey· france

24:29 Who would even do it? And then what happens to the European Union? Erdogan. Ooh, Erdogan yes! A good one Do you think that's in the realm of possibility? What will it take to stop this? Not in a near term I think we have to stop this madness The way it looks to me is that we'd like to see this thing just drag on forever Well yeah but the military industrial complex wants it to drag on forever Yeah because its cash flow It's guaranteed money in the bank And it's good to rally the troops, you know rally people. Oh, yo, well, you're not un-american not to have a Ukrainian flag in your front yard mm-hmm Exactly stuff like that yeah, you can have a lot of fun with this

25:19 I mean what it has kind of done is brought to... The blue and yellow day. They'll have a day, they'll have a day like this. Yeah well shouldn't we replace the day here? Flag Day! Let's let's replace our flag day with yellow and blue. With their flags! Their flag Ukrainian Flag Day. Okay there was something that like that they were trying to pull off some reasonable, none of this is reasonable new celebration to celebrate the Ukrainians Oh no, the whole thing is it's amazing that everyone so all in on it just today still and the pushback I see from a few mainly Republicans that there might be one Democrat either anywhere in the House or the Senate. They're not even really pushing back

CHAPTER 11 / 48 Discussion

Omnibus Spending Bill and Pork Barrel Projects

The $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill has come under fire for containing numerous "pork" projects and foreign aid allocations. Representative Dan Bishop highlighted specific items such as $65 million for Pacific salmon, $3 million for bee-friendly highways, and $410 million for border security in Middle Eastern and North African countries.

omnibus bill· dan bishop· government spending· salmon· border security

26:12 You know, it's like well you know kind of like I probably won't vote for and this comes down to the omnibus bill which is the bill that funds the government. And it's so fun to watch now the 45 billion dollars of money for Ukraine that's got people's attention but then we have several representatives, mainly Republicans pulling stuff up. Look it's three million dollars for the Michelle Obama trial! That's no good! It's 300 million dollars and it's like this is 1,700 billion dollars you're not even showing me a billion you're just spouting off... You're just talking crap.

27:00 I've added up what they said. All the stuff including Ukraine, i've only counted a hundred billion you got 1.6 billion yeah it's 100 billion but you need to get 1700 billion just tell me where all the money is going. Most of us are going into a black hole yes! The stuff they are coming up with this funny though for example... It's funny but People need to understand they can't do math. You're being hoodwinked with this little trinkets by a Republican representative, who'd go, oh look at this! Dude, this has been going on forever, this bull crap but now it's a really big number and no one showing me where the big numbers going

27:46 Well, the humor is obviously lost on you. It is! My favorite is the $200 million that we're going to contribute for gender equity in Pakistan This is fantastic I love it but its still not real... I know where's the other trillion? Its pathetic People running around on Twitter Oh I can't believe it No, it's been always been the case. These bills are loaded with pork. Always! And this is nothing new and if you recall it was President Obama who said we're gonna put this on the internet three days ahead of time for any bill he never did no one ever did it

28:36 No one ever did it. Yeah, I forgot about that. That was a good promise another good unkept promise by the famous Obama Let me see...I bet i have it uh no I guess I don't have it for sure I thought we'd have that Obama We'll put the bills up for three days so you can see it you can read it yeah was this It is US policy that Gaddafi needs to go. Sorry, that was when he was killing people sorry wrong one yeah died he came we went and died and killed him so do you have any clips of any of this incredibly funny stuff?

29:16 No, I don't. And I was hoping to collect a bunch of it but there's got to be somebody that is going to be us who reread the list Well...I mean the list is known if you want the list Do we have this one? Do we have the LGBT museum Yes! That is on the list But this is all from what his name Dan What's this guy's name? Dan Bishop Yeah Okay He's the one There has gotta more than one list It's 1400 pages or 4100 pages I think, something massive. Here is $410 million allocated towards border security for Jordan Lebanon Egypt Tunisia and Oman this is you know everyone's favorite on the right because they can say well how about us? Now here is a 1.438 billion for membership in global multilateral organizations that's going to UN I mean obviously we have to

30:14 And this is another one. The word salmon is in the bill 48 times! Yes it is, 65 million dollars for salmon yes this is what your government has been doing for 80 years this is nothing new you're being hoodwinked by representative Dan Bishop. What was the one you just said before that? It was okay I got some three three million dollars for bee-friendly highways and another five million for the salmon Okay, here we go. Here's the clips Omnibus Rundown these are from NTD and this is I don't think it goes into that direction but it does bring out the kind of overview of the whole thing. Congressional leaders have unveiled a 1.7 trillion dollar bill to fund the government We take a look at the bill and examine some of... And this I just have to say to fund the government

CHAPTER 12 / 48 Discussion

Electoral Count Act and Defense Spending Boost

The massive spending package includes a 10% boost in defense spending and the Electoral Count Act, which aims to clarify the Vice President's ceremonial role in certifying elections. Proponents argue these measures will prevent a repeat of the January 6th Capitol breach, while critics question the constitutionality of some provisions.

31:06 You know, we have these two things in American politics which and I'll start this over. Which really piss me off one is of course we raise the debt ceiling it's un-American not to! Which is how we get inflation by more money printing. And there's this, to fund the government! Well yeah and the thing is every single representative and senator has their little thing that's like oh I've got to get some money for my constituents this is what everybody does in the salmon I'm sure Alaska needs some money for salmon preservation but then it gets thrown into this one big mix says look at all this waste look all this crap

31:43 And again, they're just hiding the big numbers. Anyway... Congressional leaders have unveiled a one- But go ahead Adam! Okay thank you. ...point seven trillion dollar bill to fund the government We take a look at the bill and examine some of its standout items NTD's Daniel Monahan has the story This spending season instead of naughty and nice Santa brought everyone something regardless of what- What? Is NTD doing shtick now?! They went from the most boring Most boring I knew you'd stop it newscast in the world to doing shtick? Yes, they're doing shtick. Are you moonlighting and not telling me because I do like it Senate Democrats are calling on quick passage of the spending package before government funding expires on Friday Thank you there's my boring NTD thanks This package represents an aggressive and essential investment

32:33 in American families, American workers and in our national defense. The bill includes a nearly 10% boost in defense spending and roughly 40 billion dollars to assist communities across the country recovering from drought hurricanes and other natural disasters it also includes another large round of aid to Ukraine providing assistance for Ukrainians to defeat the Russians that's the number one priority for the United States right now. I call bull crap! Lawmakers are working to stuff as many priorities as they can into what is likely to be the last major bill of the current Congress Senator Patty Murray says the spending package will increase Pell grants by $500 Well, for students who are struggling to cover tuition or rent it means making ends meet just got a little bit easier

33:23 If the bill is successful, future elections may bear its mark. One of the most important pieces of this bill is the Electoral Count Act Lawmakers contend that the bill would prevent a repeat of the January 6th Capitol breach It would further specify that the role of the vice president in counting electoral votes Is to be only ceremonial Oh! So there's some cool stuff hidden in there They got all kinds of crazy stuff obviously stuffed in this thing, but I don't know if you can do that because the Constitution is pretty... Well yeah it would have to go to the Supreme Court and they slip in stuff that's unconstitutional all the time. Obamacare done! That was later ruled unconstitutional

34:09 Well, in one... The penalty part. In a certain kind of form yeah. The penalty part? Yeah the penalties are the... That was the part they had to kick it out. Okay but that was an important part! That was the part that said you get fined if you don't have health insurance. It was important to them! Yes Now the thing I thought was interesting is that in there was another McConnell quote saying the most important thing to America right now Is Ukraine and what they did is they well, they that was the same clip. I had but they cut off The part where he says according to Republicans According to most Republicans you see what they did there? Yeah, they do what people do They yeah, that's your beloved NTD

Polar Bear Population Claims and Toledo Zoo

A report from the Toledo Zoo regarding twin polar bear cubs sparked a debate over the status of the species. While media reports often claim polar bear populations are decreasing due to climate change, some data suggests the global population has actually increased to approximately 30,000.

toledo zoo· polar bears· climate change· endangered species· conservation

34:52 Putting this thumb on this. I called you yesterday, we had an important meeting We never have a meeting we hate meetings it was like an important discussion we were gonna have We screwed it up two days in a row okay so now we're talking and all I hear in the background is NTD blasting I'm like would you mind just turning down for second? These clips that your hearing are what I was recording at the time No but... Oh no I can't turn it off Now if you're gonna I'm not gonna say that they were there. They're not biased Let's let's you're gonna have to open up your little search engine, okay and lookup new TNG polar bear yeah, I got it

35:37 This is a clip that I had for a couple shows ago, but this is an example of where they're full of crap on this one. Listen to this carefully. Christmas came early at the Toledo Zoo in the form of twin polar bear cubs The two were born December 1st to their 24-year old mother, Crystal. The babies aren't old enough to be introduced the public yet but you can watch them on the zoo's live stream every day when fully grown these tiny cubs could weigh as much as 1300 pounds. The polar bear population is decreasing but the breeding program in Toledo offers hope for the vulnerable species. Exactly!

36:20 That's bullcrap. Yes, total bullcrap. Bull crap! There are more polar bears than ever? Yeah there are more polar bears than ever I think it was like 30 thousand or something. Nah much more than that No, no. Well anyway so it's not beloved I just happen to think that they have a lot of stories and other people don't cover. I know but if it wasn't so... well you're sprucing up the story I appreciate it. Can we go clip 2? Yeah! No budget was found just mischief and debt while the taxpayers hung their poor heads in wet

CHAPTER 14 / 48 Discussion

Modern Monetary Theory and Unspent COVID Funds

The U.S. government's continued high-level spending is characterized as an application of Modern Monetary Theory. Despite passing massive bills like the Inflation Reduction Act and the CARES Act, significant portions of previously allocated funds remain unspent, leading to questions about the necessity of new debt.

modern monetary theory· inflation reduction act· cares act· government debt· printing money

36:56 Representative Dan Bishop shared what he called some of the most egregious provisions in the bill on Twitter. It allocates about one and a half billion dollars to customs and border protection for border management requirements, however it prohibits using those funds for acquiring, maintaining or extending border security technology and capabilities only permitting their use for border processing improvements. But at the same time it stipulates that $410 million dollars for enhanced border security for Jordan Lebanon Egypt Tunisia and Oman remain available until 2024 It also includes three million dollars for what Bishop called

37:35 bee-friendly highways, 65 million for Pacific salmon populations and at least 575 million for family planning in areas where population growth threatens biodiversity. Lawmakers will race to complete passage before a midnight Friday deadline or face the prospect of a partial government shutdown going into the Christmas holiday." Okay so New Tang Dynasty is now being co-produced by Steve Bannon obviously because he gave them all of the The outrage items, the small outrage stuff. It's exactly what's on the list is whatever it's all anyone's talking about and I just said this is modern monetary theory 1.7 trillion which I think is actually more almost like one point nine if you know believe the numbers we just did a was at eight or nine hundred billion dollar inflation reduction act

38:29 It never ends. And then we had another one point something trillion America Cares Act, which we still haven't spent all of that money at least That's what we're getting my fine by the way Which not you mentioned that I find it peculiar that we have put all this money and then they said well We're gonna take it from here that money. We didn't spend yes there or do you want to do this because over? There were gonna take the money from over here which is money. We didn't spend There's all this money we didn't spend. Why do you keep wanting more money if you never spend it? Well, I think that it is money we didn't print so when we say okay well its time to print it and we got a print out at the appropriate time. You see you gotta take it easy because... Oh! I see it says print on demand there you go It's like the publishing business Exactly. Its like Amazon of budget

CHAPTER 15 / 48 Discussion

El Paso Border Crisis and UN Involvement

El Paso Mayor Oscar Leaser, a Democrat, has declared that the migrant influx at the southern border is a humanitarian crisis that exceeds the capacity of the city and the United States. Leaser suggested that the situation requires a United Nations-level response and international cooperation to manage the flow of asylum seekers.

oscar leaser· el paso· asylum seekers· united nations· humanitarian crisis

39:19 How much you need? We'll print it up. No problem." All right, since there's talk about the border let me move in that direction for a second I heard... this was on ABC they talked to wait a minute no this is not ABC this was I can't remember anyway this is the El Paso mayor who's Democrat Oscar Leaser He's getting, he has a big problem. He has asylum seekers which is not illegal asylum seekers because you're supposed to seek asylum at the appropriate port You have to do it before you go in so this is just a... Our immigration system there's nothing wrong with it The law is fine we're not adhering to it that's the difference No law needs to be changed Just need to follow the law I know it really well Because I've imported several people

40:12 I've imported wives, okay? I know how it works. Hey! Our American women aren't good enough for you?! They weren't and i made a mistake okay!? I tossed them aside kicked them out of the country and got me a Hoosier so I think I've redeemed myself Listen to what the mayor of El Paso says about what he needs really to help him at the border. I had the Arkansas governor on, Nassar Hutchinson who is a Republican... No, I'm sorry this is we forget all about Don Lemon who's now doing The Morning Show over on CNN He's very interesting! Don looking thin and trim and young And he keeps you know looking sideways over to their I don't know to the monitor see if he looks good I don't know. It's disturbing for work.

41:10 This thing is out of control. Bleeding the witness! It's a UN level problem. Bring on the blue helmets, in Chicago here they come

41:56 What? The El Paso guy said that. He didn't say bring on the blue helmets, he said this is a... You were mumbling over it. Here listen He says no I heard him. He said the UN he never said blue helmets, but he's saying that they'd even said that a US United States problem that we all need to work together It's not an El Paso problem is a lot bigger than El Paso and honestly believe it's bigger than the United States We need to work with me you have to work with other countries to be able to come up with a program that becomes humanitarian for everyone Yeah, so with un just one level unlevel baby. That's bull. That's uh Senator Alex Padilla was on ABC this morning, I believe one of your senators. California

CHAPTER 16 / 48 Discussion

Title 42 Expiration and Forest Service Deployment

The impending expiration of Title 42 has led to warnings from California Governor Gavin Newsom that the immigration system may break. Internal communications reveal that U.S. Forest Service personnel are being "voluntold" to assist Customs and Border Protection in Texas to manage the expected surge of migrants.

title 42· gavin newsom· alex padilla· u.s. forest service· homeland security

42:42 nice little gaffe. So you expect order and safety? Senator, you expect order and safety at the border on Wednesday your own governor Gavin Newsom told ABC news that the immigration system will break when title 42 is lifted he said your state is not prepared that sites are already at capacity so what do you really expect and then what are the preparations that you go ahead to asylum claims in the case that's the reason individuals or even families are coming across the border. Again, most Americans understand and appreciate there are people who want to come to United States for a number of reasons. That is why we have student visa programs. That is why we have work visa programs and yes it is lawful for someone seeking violence fleeing violence excuse me fleeing violence

43:52 fling poverty, fleeing for their lives to come to I think. Hey! If you're seeking violence come on in Truth comes out. It's a place to be. Truth comes out these people mean it Bull crap oh I feel very American today like this is just a bunch of bull crappy people now Just about those resources we got a note from one of our producers Andrew By the way, I do want to mention. I do have two clips on this one. Yeah But go and you know you did it again. I'm gonna forever I can't stop saying even worse You said I do want to play a few clips but going oh It was a doubleheader

44:32 Producer Andrew says, hey guys I'm a cop for the US Forest Service. Our agency sits towards the top of the list when it comes to emergency support to national emergencies like hurricanes or oil spills whatever FEMA ends up managing don't ask me how that came into force we all got emails early this month to say that Secretary of Agriculture offered our help to the Secretary of Homeland Security to back up customs and border protection in Texas upon the expiration of um the pandemic exclusion authority I think it's that title 42, I guess. They wanted a lot of volunteers to head down there on December 18th None of us wanted our Christmas canceled to go down there and be jailers or bus drivers But we may be voluntold to go The situation is screwed at the border then in our people know it our people know it It seems like they have some stay for some amount of time but it's weird man That's weird. It's weird that this is...I mean you can't say replacement

CHAPTER 17 / 48 Discussion

Texas National Guard Razor Wire at Rio Grande

The Texas National Guard and State Troopers have constructed a mile-long razor wire fence along the Rio Grande near El Paso. This measure is intended to deter illegal crossings as migrants from countries like Venezuela gather in anticipation of changes to U.S. border policy.

texas national guard· rio grande· el paso· razor wire· illegal immigration

45:34 Even though it seems to be exactly what's happening. Well, they're replacing somebody somewhere Let's go with the migrant influx one This is again We're back the new Tang Dynasty and now for an update on the situation at the US-Mexico border The Texas National Guard has been deployed near El Paso They are preparing for an expected influx of illegal border crossings in Soldiers built fences of razor wire along the Rio Grande yesterday. Antity's Jeremy Sandberg has more on the crisis at the southern border. Migrants gathered along both sides of the Rio Grande this week in anticipation of the end of Title 42 On Tuesday near El Paso, Texas National Guard soldiers and Texas State Troopers constructed a nearly mile-long fence covered in razor wire to deter them

46:21 But it hasn't stopped migrants from attempting to cross illegally. Guard members are telling migrants to leave and go to a point of entry Some migrants say they feel they were tricked into coming. I view it as a joke to give us hope and then, like a child trick us and tell us that they are going to postpone Title 42 Many Venezuelans are fleeing socialism and looking for a brighter future in the US Our illusions were completely shattered Now I'm a little torn over this. Where's this voice come from? Oh, they got that from Central Casting. The guy sounds like Vincent Price. Yeah he does sound like some boat. That guy is from the radio era in the 30s

CHAPTER 18 / 48 Discussion

U.S. Vaccine Mandates for Foreign Travelers

The United States remains one of the few countries maintaining a COVID-19 vaccine mandate for non-citizen travelers entering by air. This policy has caused personal and logistical issues for families and visitors, particularly those coming from Canada where similar mandates have been lifted.

vaccine mandate· international travel· canada· border policy· cdc

47:11 I'm torn over this because on one hand, I want my daughter to be able to bring her boyfriend slash fiancée to come visit which now has been moved to January 6th. If you have not been vaccinated and do not have a green card or an American citizen, you are not allowed to enter the United States Do you still have the vaccination fence up? We are the only country... I was on Grimerica Sunday night. Hello! Oh, congratulations that's a great show. Not Sunday night, Tuesday night Monday night the other night forget which night it was. Yes some nights yes i should have been on this many many years ago and I'm gonna do it again

47:50 They're great, those guys. The Canadians. I debuted my new teeth so they could take a good look and... Oh you were on the video? They don't really do video anymore so it was just for them I guess but I said I'll show everyone the real teeth when they're in four months anyway that was like hey when you guys come on down to Texas well we can't come to Texas because you're the only country in the world that has a vaccine mandate for entry and that's true We're the only country left. We're a bunch of dicks! In Canada they can phony up some paperwork, we don't know... Well actually I think Darren can because he's BIPOC He is what they call a Canadian Indian and he is actually indigenous so he gets away with all kinds of stuff Good for him But the point being on one hand I want that taken away but on the other hand it seems to be the only thing that Title 40 I mean if you take title 42 away

48:47 Well, if you remove the mandate that we have at the airports and other ports of entry... You're swamped with immigrants in Texas. You think this weather you have which is now 28 degrees, you'd think it would deter anyone wanting to go there? It's El Paso is probably about 12 now because that's right on the path of the blast. Blast! The blast path. All right I was looking through old clips and i found some other references to this blast. They kept changing the name of it It was Arctic Blast, it was The Bomb... The Bomb Cyclone? Bomb Cyclone wasn't that it? Yeah stuff like that Let me see Bomb... Bomb Cyclone. I thought it was Bomb Cyclone. Was that Bomb Cyclone? Well anyway let's play Migrant Influx Part 2

CHAPTER 19 / 48 Discussion

Supreme Court Intervention on Title 42

Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary stay to keep Title 42 in place following an emergency appeal by 19 states. While the Biden administration officially asked the court to let the policy end, they requested a delay until after December 27th to prepare for the arrival of thousands of asylum seekers.

john roberts· supreme court· title 42· joe manchin· amy goodman

49:40 My family was very hopeful that we would get through to that country and really progress. But you see how life is, we seem to be dragging the curse of Chavez." Title 42 allows US authorities to rapidly expel illegal immigrants A U.S federal judge had ordered the COVID-19 restrictions to be lifted on Wednesday but Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts put a temporary pause on the order Monday That was in response to a legal challenge by 19 states The freeze is meant to give parties time to respond. The White House on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to let the restrictions end, but citing the holiday season and logistical concerns... What? But they're saying no we want a flood of migrants! They were actually saying that.

50:29 They want the White House, just before Christmas wants a flood of migrants illegal migrants as we used to call it illegal aliens across the border before Christmas. Why? It's not really happening, it's not real. Supreme Court Chief Justice Roberts put a temporary pause on the order Monday that was in response to illegal challenge by 19 states The freeze is meant to give parties time to respond The White House on Tuesday asked the Supreme Court to let the restrictions end. But, citing the holiday season and logistical concerns requested it be left in place until after December 27th Democratic Senator Joe Manchin had this to say 42 must be basically enforced and continued on Manchin says it's not just important in the realm of the pandemic but also the realm of security

51:25 He says there will never be meaningful immigration reform until the border is secured. You have to have a secure border, there has to be points of entry, they'll have to make sure that people go through the proper vetting process and those are all things we can do The US Supreme Court now will decide whether to halt Title 42 while the state's legal challenge plays out Yeah, and I think it's disingenuous. I look at Greg Abbott and I say you know you're not...I don't think he's honest He just..I don't think he's just talking No, I think you're right! I-I don't think he's honest either And I do have a second opinion on this title 42 clip but you have to play Unfortunately you have to play a disclaimer clip Oh okay hold on a second I'm sure its this

52:19 Warning, Amy Goodman clip inbound. Is that it? Amy Goodman clip inbound? Yeah of course title 42. In immigration news the Biden administration Tuesday urged the Supreme Court to reject calls from Republican led states to continue enforcing the Trump era Title 42 pandemic policy used to quickly expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border without due process. The policy was scheduled to end today, but the court temporarily blocked its termination after several states led by Arizona filed an emergency appeal Biden officials however asked the court to give them till at least December 27th after Christmas to end title 42 to prepare for the arrival of what's expected

53:06 to be thousands of asylum seekers who've been blocked from entering the U.S and applying for refuge since March 2020? It's also the American people, they have to understand I mean again it's because there's no reporting people don't see the numbers and it's El Paso who cares about El Paso you know so maybe you'll see that you know El Paso airport has opened up a whole Wait for people to sleep in the airport. Everybody's in the airport sleeping You know, maybe that'll show up. Tent city inside the airport But people are being so misinformed and under-informed Under informed is really... Why do you think that it? Yeah So they don't get all riled up and get mad about what's really happening of course And but that's what I see and you know It's like Texas we're a bunch of badasses, but we're just sitting here going whoo. It's a puzzle

CHAPTER 21 / 48 Discussion

Global Biodiversity Deal and Natural Asset Classes

At a UN summit, 190 countries reached a historic deal to protect global biodiversity. The agreement involves significant financial transfers from wealthy nations to developing countries to preserve ecosystems like the Amazon, which critics argue is a step toward commoditizing nature through new "natural asset" classes.

biodiversity· united nations· amazon· carbon market· natural asset companies

56:17 Well, there's no money in that. There is no money! Exactly! Alright so there is something going on with the climate change folks that needs to be looked at The biodiversity is back and we made fun of biodiversity Let me see...the earliest date of this jingle is...oh goodness it has to be 20... 2012 maybe? Something along those lines. Here it is! So for about a decade, and it kind of fell out of fashion you know was everyone oh biodiversity biodiversity biodiversity and then we didn't hear about biodiversity yep then now all of a sudden we have John Oliver Amy Schumer and many more signed diversity pledge for late-night comedy writers

57:11 Ah yes, because we need to have equity and we need to love the world. And this is not happening in... isolation. Beatrice, 190 countries have struck a deal to protect biodiversity this deals being hailed as historic what makes it so significant? Many environmentalists are saying that this deal is our last chance to you know reverse the trend on biodiversity which basically means... It's the last chance! It's always the last chance So if we look at the situation right now where thousands of species are under threat of extinction, our insect numbers are plummeting. Our oceans are acidifying. The situation is very dire and our ecosystems are under enormous pressure so this deal could change the way we farm

58:00 the way we do business and the way we protect our animals. The deal was hammered out in a series of really tough negotiations, you mentioned 190 countries getting them to agree on something is really significant what were the biggest points of contention? the biggest point of contention by far was financing. And that's something we already saw in the climate talks, which were also UN talks in Egypt in November because it really boils down to this that poor nations want richer nations to give them more financial aid to help them and their conservation efforts especially because these developing nations are the ones that really are home to some of the most outstanding biodiversity

58:41 For example, if you think of the Amazon in South America. Yeah yeah hey put this thing in your lip all right? You're biodiverse! So these negotiations got so heated at one point that delegates from poor nations walked out of the negotiations. Of course now what this is also about not that it's anywhere in the news or this clip is about the new asset class So every piece of grass, every piece of nature is going to be commoditized. A value's gonna be put on it. It'll be based on carbon probably 2027 whenever China is gonna invade Taiwan and its all being pushed out...2027! 2027 is the new year And so these poor countries who have outstanding biodiversity they're holding their hand up like pay me which of course goes

59:32 friendly NGOs and other nonprofits who take the money and don't really give it to Africans. Here, have some mush and swipe that fly off your kid's face." That's how it goes. You mentioned NGOs...and I just want to play this clip because this has got me completely baffled NGO licenses. The White House has a new plan to make it easier for humanitarian aid to continue flowing around the world. The US announced the release of new general licenses yesterday. The licenses basically allow groups to avoid U.S sanctions. Officials say they will make it easier for humanitarian assistance to go out in countries like Afghanistan and Somalia. The licenses go to groups doing a broad range work including disaster relief and health services

CHAPTER 22 / 48 Discussion

Treasury Department NGO Licensing and Sanctions

The U.S. Treasury Department announced new general licenses to facilitate humanitarian aid in sanctioned countries like Afghanistan and Somalia. These licenses allow NGOs to operate without violating U.S. sanctions, though the formal licensing process has raised questions about the independence of these organizations from government control.

u.s. treasury· ngos· sanctions· humanitarian aid· afghanistan

1:00:20 The Treasury Department also lists groups supporting, quote, democracy education environmental protection and peace-building. The licenses can also exempt certain trade items from sanctions like food medicine and medical devices What? And they can cover official business of the US government the UN the International Red Cross and similar organizations A treasury official said that targeted sanctions quote remain an essential foreign policy tool Now who's handing out these licenses? The US? Yeah, that's what I said too. What?! This is... Okay so the NGOs are just GOs now! It's one thing to say i'm a non-governmental organization which means I get money from the government but it's kind of do my own thing and now its like what if im licensed well if you're licensed then you're part of the government someone's government Well on that I don't think thats necessarily because I have a driver's license doesn't mean I work for the state of California

1:01:21 Okay, apples to oranges. But go ahead? Well I'd like to know what the deal is! I never heard of anything like this nobody's reporting on it How about pay-to-play you hey you wanna be an NGO ah you've got have a license that would be the ultimate government scam swing some of that money back towards me let me get you a license possible? Yeah, no I'm not. It's yeah...I think it might be dead. There has got to be something like that! It sounds corrupt Back to some biodiversity By the way your temperature just went up. It went up?! Yes it is up at 32 now No! Really was it that? Let me check it out. Do I have accurate weather here on the ground? Hold on let us see. No its still updating. Back to climate change back to biodiversity for a moment

CHAPTER 23 / 48 Discussion

Methane Reduction and Cattle Feed Additives

Scientists are testing additives for cattle feed, such as pulverized bark from the Cabracho tree, to reduce methane emissions from cow burps by 10%. While the Biden administration has faced pressure from environmentalists to measure agricultural methane more strictly, the industry is focusing on dietary changes for ruminants to meet climate goals.

methane· cattle· agriculture· biden administration· climate policy

1:02:22 This was... no, I can't remember where this was from. The biggest problem we have, much bigger of course than anything is cow burps. Cow burps and farts that's what's killing everything that's why we need to have... Kill all cows! Kill all cows, fake meat, have to have everything just... You have to kill all ruminants which means goats and everything else because the only animals that can eat this crappy grass it grows all over the place makes the area useless for anything else including you can't even plant on it, is these animals that eat that stuff and then they can turn into actual protein and fertilizer to be honest. The ruminants are amazing animals... They're great but why do they want to wipe them out? Why do they...? Why hello because that's the protein! They want us off! They want to keep us just healthy enough to be good subservient slaves hello

1:03:23 And here's how they're doing it. There is some complex chemistry going on here, cows have four stomachs in one of them microorganisms break down food into nutrients producing methane as a waste product and protein from the cow it's a beautiful process but okay. Cows burp the fermented food back up and chew it some more each cow belches a blast of methane into the atmosphere. So it's more powerful. If you reduce methane, you reduce warming. Mitloehner and scientists around the world are trying to do that by slightly changing what the animals eat. Oh! You just change the composition of microbes in the rumen. Sure! And this doesn't harm the cows at all? No. From those microbes that produce methane to those microbes that don't

1:04:26 Here, graduate students are preparing feed for the university's herd of black angus cows. Then they sprinkle a bit of red dust in each animal's trough before the heifers chow down. What could possibly go wrong? This is the pulverized bark of the Cabracho tree, which grows in South America. And scientists working here have found that just a small amount added to cattle feed can reduce cows' methane emissions by 10 percent. Far from this feedlot, environmentalists are angry with the Biden administration for agreeing to legislation prohibiting federal agencies from measuring methane in agriculture, bowing to demands by the agribusiness lobby This administration's abysmal approach to measuring and reducing emissions from methane Listen to this

1:05:20 Agriculture undermines their credibility in international climate forums. Meanwhile back in California the cows are munching away seemingly happy and hopefully less gassy So they basically come up with Bino for cows. Yeah, or probiotics who knows? It can't be good! No it probably not but Mimi came up with an article and I don't have it...I didn't print it out but there's an article about how it's turning out that these artificial meats that they're manufacturing like the stuff coming out of Holland and elsewhere from the DSM. It turns out that their human body

Toxic Spinach Contamination in Australia

A major food safety recall occurred in Australia after hundreds of people fell ill from eating spinach contaminated with a toxic weed known as Thorn Apple. Victims suffered from hallucinations, headaches, and nausea, leading to a massive investigation into Riviera Farms and centralized supermarket supply chains.

spinach· thorn apple· australia· food safety· hallucinations

1:06:02 I mean, if it's made of just nothing but plant protein you can digest it. But this other stuff that is purely synthetic? Yeah It tastes and looks and has got everything... If you look at the chromatic graph it looks like real meat but you can't digest it! No You just starve to death eating yourself to death Congratulations! You have graduated to the Beef Initiative Academy Exactly And this whole centralised food thing is not good. Here's an example, we thought it was only Costco in Australia but you know people were getting whacked out and high and having or hallucinating from eating some spinach We had the report... Now we know what happened! The weed responsible for that toxic spinach contamination that put dozens of people in hospital well its been identified Sunrise correspondent Egan Doling is in Melbourne for us

1:06:56 So Teagan, what did the investigation find? Good morning Mon. Initially there were fears that there was some sort of herbicide or pesticide that's caused hundreds of people to fall ill but it was in fact a weed called Thorn Apple which is incredibly toxic and incredibly dangerous people and animals. Now it was contaminated in spinach, there were more than 200 people who fell sick from Victoria New South Wales and Queensland including a young child in Queensland who actually had to be rushed to the emergency department and those people are suffering symptoms such as hallucination headaches and nausea now as I said it was inside salad packages inside baby

1:07:33 and it was in all of our major supermarkets, Woolworths, Coles, Aldi and Costco. And it all stems back from Riviera Farms now they have actually destroyed the baby spinach crops. It's believed that this weed may have actually been harvested among the crops and that's how these spinach has become contaminated there obviously launching investigation into exactly what has happened they say that they have also are destroyed all of the crops either side on the baby spinach but believe it may have hopefully been an isolated incident. All products have been recalled, Mon's so experts are saying that it shouldn't stop us from putting some greens on the table come Sunday."

EU Natural Gas Price Cap and Carbon Taxes

European Union energy ministers agreed to a cap on natural gas prices starting in February to combat soaring energy costs. Additionally, the EU is moving forward with a carbon market expansion that will levy taxes on gasoline and heating fuels starting in 2027, potentially increasing costs for consumers.

european union· natural gas· carbon market· energy prices· germany

1:09:31 And we have a deal, we have a deal in the European Union and I'll explain what that means after this quick clip. We start in Brussels where in the last couple of hours EU energy ministers have agreed to cap natural gas prices The agreement comes after weeks of haggling over ways to rein in Europe's soaring energy prices. The EU's biggest economy, Germany had previously blocked efforts to limit natural gas prices fearing the move could disrupt supplies on global markets Reports say the gas cap is set to come into effect in February Now what they have not told you Is that the real negotiation was about the carbon market

1:10:11 although it's carbon dioxide, CO2. They call it the EU Carbon Market and they have determined that starting in 2027 taxes will be levied on consumers of gasoline and anything else that can be measured in CO2 This'll kick off... here The carbon market covers suppliers of CO2 emitting fuels using cars and buildings, and they do that as of 2027. But of course they will pass that on once you have trucks etc. emitting a co2 That price will be passed on to your consumer products in the supermarket Oh we need more taxes Yes 2020 what is this? 2027 thing all of a sudden I don't know why they chose it but that's what it is however However if

1:11:08 Fuel prices are as high as they are today in 2027, then they might slip it to 2028 and it looks like the price of carbon will be 45 euros per ton. which is how they've always tried to do about $50 a ton. So it's just more taxes based upon whatever formula they come up with, well that truck emitted some CO2 so we got to take that into account and put that in your little package of soy here. Yeah yeah it's crazy

No we couldn't have done that. We haven't got 10,000 eyeballs for sale?! 10,000 eyeballs not worth anything. Hey! These are not just ten thousand eyeballs these are sophisticated eyeballs. These people are very discerning they know what they're doing Anyway, follow me. Who would ever anticipate that? Well there's a lot of things we haven't anticipated on this show and in fact... No that's because you know what you know what you know what you know what What We do news deconstruction That's what we're doing and we do it better than anybody else. We do You're so right about that If were doing startups we could probably get pretty good at it But what is that NTD then? Well that's not deconstruction That's just torture

Episode 1514 Cover Art and Hanukkah Controversy

The cover art for episode 1514, created by Tantaniel, was selected from several submissions. The hosts also discussed a rejected piece of Hanukkah-themed art that featured controversial "shape-shifting" imagery, ultimately deciding it was not appropriate for the current media environment.

cover art· hanukkah· tantaniel· commercial art· graphic design

1:17:57 Hmm unless we had new shows to this year. Well, no that's not gonna happen Tantaniel Tantaniel brought us... Now, there was a lot of art. There were a lot of different things that we looked at this is the hoodie which is now even though it said no agenda curry and Dvorak hoodie It was really a John C. Dvorak hoodie because it was a sweatshirt to root for your I mean a hoodie to root for your favorite team and that is best teamed go best team Yeah, go best team Because you're the fair-weathered fan And it's true! We both laughed at that one What was the other stuff that we were looking at? There's a lot of stuff that was usable. I think we could have picked any number of them, but... And that one wasn't in The Christmas Spirit which is kind of a violation over normal way of doing these things to say the least. But it was just a nice piece It was a very nice piece and i think the other pieces that were there was The Tombstone

1:19:03 Mark Haines died from being fat. Yeah, we're not gonna use that. Too much cheese... I mean Darren is our go-to cheesecake. You know when we want a cheesesteak it's not going to be there but when you have Dame Kenny Ben doing cheesecake for Happy Hanukkah. We had to get the Jewish shapeshifter again. The one we wanted, we thought happy Hanukkah from no agenda and the shape-shifting Jews with a little disclaimer this artwork was made and approved by an actual Jew although we thought it was great we just thought this was not the environment No. To be misunderstood by a bunch of people, especially... Yeah which is exactly what would happen because nobody pays attention and the Jew had a reptile lizard. A lizard hand to make it worse. Make it worse! Happy Hanukkah

1:19:55 It was day one of Hanukkah on the previous show. Yes it was, who knew? I looked it up and got bad information from the internet! That's first time ever. That never happened... A lot of our shapeshifters informed us It's day one. Day one boneheads! That's right, day one. Well thank you very much Tantaniel and Merry Christmas to all of the artists who graciously supply their time and their talent usually just for ridicule

1:20:33 Which is what we do, but it's honest ridicule because we're just telling you what we feel and we're like your dream clients. We will discuss everything behind your back but you can listen in.

Donald Trump's Tax Returns and MSNBC Coverage

The House Ways and Means Committee released several years of Donald Trump's tax returns, sparking intense media coverage. MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski claimed the returns proved Trump lied about being under audit, while the returns themselves showed low tax payments and significant business losses.

donald trump· tax returns· house ways and means· mika brzezinski· irs

1:36:58 over Trump's tax returns. From what I understand there was pretty much nothing in him or am i misunderstanding? No, there was pretty much nothing in them. Yeah But it was the way they played it so let's we're gonna go to your friend Mia Maya whatever her name is on MSNBC My friend? The Brzezinski woman isn't she? Oh Mika! Mika and Joe the morning joes Mika Brzezinski show The elitist show I'm gonna play three clips are short and then I want to play Kevin Brady who's have a clip. He's a Congressman that was on the committee that released these But he's the Republican who they wouldn't listen to us isn't it? Let me just understand one thing this is this is are you okay have a lozenge barely, I need a lozenge This is very extraordinary I believe too because to just release

1:37:59 citizen's taxes to the public it's kind of icky isn't it I mean isn't that something that is bad? It's bad. Everyone agrees with it, and its bad because now the privacy of the IRS...I'm surprised the IRS put up with it. The IRS probably suggested it as dicks sorry that was John who said that. No you think they're good guys I don't know whether they're good guys or not, but i don't think they like the idea of this being a policy because now everyone can grouse. They go oh you gotta why should i give you anything? Yeah yeah exactly because you just disclosed it you horrible people! Yeah exactly...I'm all in. The IRS- You're right they should have totally said no

1:38:46 Yeah, that's what they should have done. They should have had some backbone. So let's go with Trump tax return MSNBC. Joining us now we have the Democratic member of the House Ways and Means Committee Congressman Tom Suozzi of New York It's really great timing for you to be on. We want to ask about these tax returns, we've learned a lot about Donald Trump this week just this week alone he is dealing with a lot Tom the DOJ of course getting these four criminal referrals from the January 6th committee. As we've been discussing, we're not necessarily sure what they'll be doing with them if anything but they probably are going to be taking a good long read at the January 6th select committees full report which is being released to the public today

1:39:34 We can't put aside the documents that he took from the US government and tomorrow logo that you know right now is being investigated whether He stole them and whether he's returned them. And wait, is that still a story? Is she stuck in this am I miss? I thought that was kind of like over that didn't result Oh, yeah, you're doing the wrong world if you go to their world mean dementia be yeah Dementia B they're gonna be that's all you care about also known as cluster B Which I thought was an interesting way of... describing it. Criminal... I like it Cluster B is pretty good isn't? I think cluster b No, I'm gonna start using it You don't have to have cluster A you just cluster be you don't have to have an a Stole them and whether he's returned them and the criminal exposure that he faces there but the tax returns this morning are proving a number of things some basic things like He lied about being audited And it proves a number of things about Trump's financial dealings his financial moves

1:40:33 Moves he made to avoid taxes, paying very very low numbers in taxes and one year paying zero in taxes. This guy just became more of a hero than ever to most Americans Mika! And also losses so my question to you sir is what is the wrongdoing that has been exposed so far here as these tax returns are finally being revealed When President Trump decided to break with tradition and not release taxes, people said well what can we do here? Well the good news is we can count on the IRS. They're mandatorily required to audit the president We started digging into that and we released yesterday and found out yesterday really that they didn't do their job The IRS was dormant They didn't pursue the president without fear or favor the way they were required for every president What?!

1:41:23 Okay, that goes counter to everything I understood about the case but okay go ahead. Also there are a couple things she's good propaganda she starts off with he lied which turns out not to be true and then the way she asked the question what is the wrongdoing so far? Yes! Which indicates there's nothing but more I mean whatever... More is coming! That just so far! It's just getting started we're just warming up She's terrible. So let's go to part two of this so now We are proposing legislation that every president must be audited because right now it's just a regulation of the IRS It's not a law passed by Congress we're proposing a law that says every president must be audited on a timely basis You have to have enough resource I mean the IRS had one person looking at the one set of his taxes from 2016 they didn't look at the other years and

1:42:20 And they didn't have any experts. People on partnerships, on foreign affairs... On the different sophisticated transactions that this president was involved in So why? Why- Hold a second I saw some of these tax returns All of that is in the business not his personal taxes I don't understand. This guy's full of crap, that's just not true! There was no special trickery here that is going on? No this guy is full of crap... Yeah okay. That this president was involved in. So why? Why was it dormant? Why was he not audited? Is anyone asking the question and pursuing the answer? Wait a minute, his-I don't understand

1:43:04 They release his tax return, his personal tax return and what comes out of it is he wasn't audited. I thought the Trump organization was under a constant audit Is that a lie? It's a total lie She has just bought all at MSNBC does literally lies That's going to be the continuing push because we need to make sure the IRS is doing its job on everything that they do But certainly on this as well was it because it was The president's appointee or is it because the whole system has just been broken down We don't know with the reason that the IRS did not do its job. We don't know if somebody called up and said hey, you know

1:43:46 The Treasury Secretary was appointed by the President. The IRS Commissioner is appointed by the President Do we know if there's a phone call made or was this just because the whole system had broken down? We had to pursue this in a way that was not political Just look at the legislative requirements to do our job as a separate branch of government, what can we do to ensure that every president and every vice president is getting audited? Well you sir should drink some Drano. That's what you should do to make sure that your out of the picture! Because you're a piece of crap. So here we go, this is the last 17 seconds Okay but like a thought game for you what are the chances that a presidential candidate who refused to release his tax returns and said he was under an audit becomes president and continues to say he's under an audit when it turns out he was completely lying? And never was

Kevin Brady on the IRS Presidential Audit Process

Representative Kevin Brady, the ranking Republican on the Ways and Means Committee, criticized the release of Trump's tax returns as a violation of privacy. Brady clarified that the documents show Trump was consistently under audit and that the IRS process for presidential audits is ongoing and complex.

1:44:47 So there we go. So let's listen to the Republican co-chair, he is a second on the Ways and Means Committee this is out in the hall they got it recorded him and this is Kevin Brady And listened to this guy talk about... This is a lousy recording because it was done in noisy hall but you can hear it I think Let's go. that would refer these documents, investigation of joint committee on taxation. A credible experienced organization that has conducted similar reviews in the past such as the Enron investigation to review fully and with adequate time the IRS Presidential Audit Mandatory

1:45:36 on the process and to bring back that analysis report to Congress within 90 days. We provide an alternative that focuses on their purported reason for this, releasing these tax returns without creating a new president that can jeopardize privacy of Congress. And I'm sorry to address this, but at the very top of what you said. What exactly was in the report that they are submitting to the full house? All of Donald Trump's tax returns over the past six years including his business returns

1:46:16 All the documents. So I'd say in summary, they were the tax returns of President Trump for six years including the tax returns of eight affiliated businesses. It also included the audit notes and trails on those audits. What became clear is that Almost all those audits that the IRS is doing is not yet complete. So any characterizations of the returns themselves, you have to acknowledge this is incomplete at this time.

1:46:57 It does have the return for themselves and what else? Diarrhoea report, majority report. And then a sort of rushed analysis by junk committee on taxation which had only about 11 days. I'm glad we got it on the record but you gotta tell me what I was listening to. Okay so what he said was It was six years of Trump's returns plus eight affiliated businesses, so there were business returns also looked at. All of them with the audit notes they were all consistently and always under audit and they are still under audit according to this guy saying that anyone who says that he wasn't audited or wasn't under audit is full of crap! Mika was lying My girlfriend was lying?

1:47:51 Hard to believe. It's just beyond me how they can just do this and I've seen it elsewhere They say oh he was never audited, and he wasn't under audit He was according to this guy who is also on the same committee says? He still under audit it's like a continuation Audit so which is what Trump said yeah when you when you have zero income take all the losses You'll get audited You're gonna get audited all the time. He's got eight companies that they also looked at and audited, and then it was presented with the auditing notes! But we knew that there was nothing here because otherwise it would have leaked out weeks ago or months ago and would have been oh but now just flailing arms of Mika and they're little flabby. Mika should work on that tone it up girl so anyway I just found it to be disgusting you're right

Wells Fargo $3.7 Billion Settlement for Consumer Abuses

This is the latest in a series of massive fines for the bank, which has previously been penalized for opening millions of unauthorized accounts.

1:48:41 And so while everyone is falling over this and all the taxes, you know, Zelensky and everything. We're being robbed! This morning another scandal is rocking Wells Fargo The bank has been ordered to pay 3.7 billion dollars to settle a number of violations including charging illegal fees and interest on auto loans and mortgages, and incorrectly taking overdraft fees. In a statement the CEO says the bank identified a series of unacceptable practices that we have been working systematically to change. It seems that they are not only too big to fail they're also too big to jail It's the latest in a string of massive fines for Wells Fargo. In 2020, the bank paid $3 billion after employees opened millions of phony accounts without the customer's knowledge in order to meet sales goals as the employees falsified records investigators say The bank collected millions in fees reportedly targeting minorities who speak little English along with college students and seniors. You had open 10 accounts every day every single day

1:49:39 Since at least 2016, Senator Elizabeth Warren has urged federal regulators to break up Wells Fargo. Once calling the bank's former CEO gutless at a congressional hearing. Have you resigned as CEO or chairman of Wells Fargo? The board, I serve at the- Have you resigned? No. I've not. Have you returned one nickel of the money you earned while this scam was going on and and the board will do it again... I will take that as a no then. Now shut up Pocahontas! Or applauded the latest fine against Wells Fargo calling it much needed accountability And so where does this money go is always my question Does it go to the black and brown people who were racially targeted? What they did, I got the breakdown. It was 4.5 billion dollars. Was that the whole fine? 3.7. The way i heard it $3 billion went back to the people they ripped off

1:50:36 And a lot of this was repossessing cars that didn't, you know... Oh no! Reposing cars. Enclosing your mortgage on your house and stuff like this. These guys are horrible. So $3 billion goes back to those people and the 1.7 or between 1.5 and 1.7 goes into the government coffers as defined. So they should be shut down. This is the second time they've done this. Second or third, this company is really I don't know. It has to be something else going on there, it has to be part of a money laundering thing the government's involved in, arms dealing... There is something going on with this company! Tina had her 401k IRA, her nest egg was managed by someone at Wells Fargo she pulled it all and gave it to Horowitz. I do not know if that's better?

1:51:33 You won't get ripped off. I said, hey you can listen how you're doing every week on Tuesday. Every Tuesday? You can hear John and Andrew talk about your investments it's great! So hey you know what maybe Wells Fargo was tied up in the FTX thing. I mean you're right something is very fishy about those guys it has real BCCI feel to it Yeah, and if you go there the place is buzzing. I mean we have a Wells Fargo down the street it's a lot busier than mechanics and Then the funny thing is the manager the current manager of the mechanics in Albany that I bank with He's ex-Wells Fargo Oh really? And I brought him...I brought it up with him once he says he had to quit the bank He says it was just too much It was just..He couldn't work there it was so bad Let's go to Bank Manfred

1:52:29 Here's just a quick update. Tonight the young founder of FTX, who authorities say lost billions of dollars from investors and customers returning to the US tonight face charges now stemming from the collapse of his cryptocurrency exchange Sam Bankman-Fried waving extradition from The Bahamas today authorities flying him to New York charging him here with wire fraud money laundering and campaign finance violations. So they're taking this very weak young man who, you know it's just a matter of perception you looked at him before with the floppy hair and the out-of-shape body and the rocking and the kind of weird borderline probably spectrum type on the spectrum behavior...and he's a genius!

1:53:12 But if you just flip that for a second and say, you are actually abusing a very sad young man. And who's getting off the true criminals in this? My personal opinion, Caroline Ellison... Have you seen a good picture of her? Oh man! She also has a sad look. Yes, she doesn't look like the type I mean I could be wrong because you never know I mean there's a whole TV series called What is it called? It's called meet Mary murder Which i think is one of the great great tv shows about yes lot of psycho women and men

1:53:53 find a mate you know they somehow meet him and then they marry me then they murder of your money so it's possible I mean well she her dad is at a high level no Gary Gensler you know said that all connected she you know what is being oh she's cooperating she threw him under the bus yeah you better believe she did because a lot of the money that was being moved was from Alameda she was the CEO but this poor young man on the spectrum and I take pity on him. His parents are abusing him, his parents are going to let him rot in jail."

Stanford University's Harmful Language List

Stanford University published a "Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative" list, advising against words like "American," "brave," "tribe," and "insane." The initiative claims these terms are offensive or appropriative, though the list has faced significant public ridicule for its perceived overreach.

stanford university· political correctness· ableism· language· cultural appropriation

2:00:27 And this was a musical deconstruction that someone had on. It sounds like a baby crying and that is often used to get attention, and it's all subliminal Women aren't actually thinking about doing this but they do While we're on the misogynistic tip This has been going around the Stanford the Stanfords Who was this? Yes Stanford University Published a list of words and phrases you are really not supposed to use because they fall into categories of things that can hurt people. Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words really heart... really, really hurt! Have you seen this list?

2:01:11 No, but I'm sure it's a dynamite list. Okay words no longer allowed to be used because they are offensive from the ableism category this is you know where if you would say Wow bite into that Apple Adam! I would say your horrible ableist just because you can and I can't at the moment so that's what ableism is yeah? So you can no longer use the words insane lame crazy A tone deaf and spaz. My wife was talking about this list, back and forth she said it's great it's a great list because I can still use my favorite word idiot! Idiot is not on the list you're right yep but Spazz is so horrible that Beyonce had to go back and re-recorded track on her album to remove the spazz word thats pretty powerful man if you get Beyonce to do

2:02:06 culturally appropriate appropriative yeah you cannot say the word brave so you go into a burning building you're not brave no because that perpetuates the stereotype of the noble courageous savage you see the bravery the word it really predates the noble career not according to not according to Stanford You should look that up. I will! Along with that, of course, tribe is no longer allowed to be used because that would equate indigenous people with savages and here's my favorite... What's wrong with the word tribe? It's historically used to equate indigenous people with savages. It's not used that way anymore Are you at Stanford?

2:02:57 Do you have a degree from Stanford? No. No, but Cal beat Stanford in the last big game Okay well you're not good at words You're good at game Also for Bowton Guru Because this is appropriative of the Buddhist and Hindu relations What if they get us a Hindu Well then you can use it Of course It's only for white people At Stanford Gender problems. Oh, he she is just you're just not using that anymore Ladies landlord landlady gentlemen freshmen congressmen you guys All for Bowdoin seminal of terrible seminal is not allowed

2:03:40 Transgendered, this is confusing. Transgendered is not allowed because this term avoids connections that being transgender is something that has done to a person and or that some kind of transition is required Oh goodness. What does that even mean? It means because if you say someone's transgendered, then that's not their whole self it means they went through some kind of transition which of course is exactly what happened but you're not allowed to say it according to Stanford. These guys have lost a lot... Okay here are couple other words. Abort can't say abort You know why obviously because it could unintentionally raise religious or moral concerns over abortion

2:04:28 And here's my favorite, American. This is not a good word to use apparently. Oh no! This term often refers to the people from the United States only thereby insinuating that the US is the most important country in the Americas Thug we know thug is not allowed. Is there any other country that uses the word American to refer to themselves as a people? I know in Canada they call themselves Canadians and Mexicans are called Mexicans in Mexico Yeah, so when Costa Ricans or call themselves Costa Ricans They don't call themselves Americans and South Americans you're in South America the Brazilians think of themselves as Brazilians

2:05:10 So why can't we are the United States of America, we call ourselves Americans? We should call ourselves the United Stations. Yes! There you go. What do we call ourselves just calm assholes of the world that's what everyone thinks especially with these lists Okay, oh! We violated many things just today. Homeless person immigrant prisoner and prostitute no longer usable because these are person first language terms and people are not defined by just one of their characteristics Wait a minute. You can't say police officer either I guess he's a cop you can't say steelworker there you go There's violence words violent words and you use this so who what department over at our vaunted Stanford Which is right? I can see it from here What department came up with this bullcrap they should be ashamed of themselves Well, let me link into yes They should be oh

2:06:10 Well now it has a password all of the sudden. They're just trying to ruin the country and the language! I think it's the psychology department. Oh, the psychology department... they're losers! Let's see couple more here so you use trigger warning that is very violent very violent you shouldn't even use it war room hello Steve Banyan pull the trigger oh-ho can't use that What about pump the brakes? Is not on the list. But it should be. Killing two birds with one stone, violence against animals... Oh no! I love this one long time no see you can't say that because you know they hit the etymology of longtime no-see was originally used to mock Chinese Longtime No See Bull crap well that's according to Stanford the psych department just saying

2:07:14 Just saying. It's a joke! Somebody put this out as humor, the Stanford guys do this stuff I don't think so. They write up stuff like this and they put it out as though its real. Years ago during that famous Stanford-Berkeley football game where the band was on the field and Kel won the game they snuck in and printed the entire Daily Californian on the side and passed out copies all over the Berkeley campus telling everyone that NCAA rejected the game results. And everybody believed it! And it was like, they do this constantly... This is a joke. I'm telling you right now. Folks time! Here's the true humor that comes of course from anyone

COVID-19 Booster Skits and Clergy Promotion

Health officials in Canada and religious leaders in Oklahoma have released promotional content encouraging COVID-19 boosters and flu shots for the holiday season. These campaigns often use skits involving Mrs. Claus or appeals to religious duty to "love thy neighbor" to drive vaccine uptake.

covid-19· boosters· canada· episcopal church· propaganda

2:08:06 involved in today's health and that is celebrities and clergy and health ministers all alike. Let's make a mockery of kovat because it's that time again we've got to just flood the airwaves with messages of getting boosters and Be very afraid of all kinds of other things that are swirling around and its up It's time for some of the worst the absolute worst writing in history here is the Canadian health minister who does a little skit about with Mrs. Claus. Are you all set for the holiday season? Of course, I must say Dr Tam it just warms my heart to see everyone in Canada especially kids working so hard to keep the holidays safe and cheerful for all! So am i mrs claus every child in canada has definitely earned a place on the nice list

2:08:59 their parents and caregivers too. It's been a tough season with lots of viruses making people sick. Thankfully Santa and I are feeling as healthy as ever! We are both up to date with our vaccinations, including COVID boosters and flu shots That is so good to hear! I always tell Santa to make a list...and check it twice One, stay up to date on your vaccinations. Two wear a mask in crowded indoor places and make sure it fits nice and snug. Three wash your hands to the tune of jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way Great advice great voice too And they also have some Asian woman up there who's the health minister what is it?

2:09:50 Great voice too, thank you. Great advice! They're a great business side of course I'm gonna go get my shot now Let's go to Oklahoma where the clergy has been influenced Here's Bishop Hello My name is Bishop Poulsen and I am the bishop for the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma So as soon as I had the opportunity to get the COVID vaccine I got it as quickly as I could and it was a great experience, very easy to do. What? It was a great experience! What?! This guy's a liar! He's a bishop! Didn't have very much at all in the way of side effects. Now just as this plays forward remember that a lot of money went towards bringing in faith leaders celebrities clergy all kinds of people. One of them he took the money

2:10:46 No matter what it is, this is why we have Reverend Al and the Reverend Jesse Jackson. They are the ones that are brought in to tell the community what they should believe When I think about getting the vaccine, when I thought about getting it myself and did get it but I think about for others. I think of that really central command that Jesus gives us which is to love our neighbor as ourselves We know this vaccine is very effective Very safe. And so even if it's a minor inconvenience for us, we might have a few mild symptoms and we have to get it scheduled on the calendar We know that can protect somebody in our family, can protect somebody in our church community, protects somebody in our workplace and beyond

2:11:39 And that is something that Jesus would have us do to protect those that we can. Even if it comes with just a little bit of inconvenience for us I got mine and I hope that you will too. So, alright blast femur! Yes, I agree and also what they do...and i say they this the propaganda team They bring They bring back the lie that you need to get vaccinated to protect other people. We know this is patently untrue, this has been admitted and proven but they're just pretending it doesn't exist.

2:12:19 Clergy, how about some celebrities? Goes through your mind when you hear a lot of the anti-vaccine rhetoric. This is Sean Penn! It's it's a cowardice of conviction I think that it is an unwillingness to engage in a culture of common sense that at this point it seems criminal to me actually I really feel that that if someone chooses not to be vaccinated, that they should choose to stay home. Not go to work, not have a job. As long as we're all paying for these streets, we got to ride safely on them and so I'm just hopeful that the mindset will change and it started... We know this really started with leadership voids and now I think there are some examples of leadership

CHAPTER 37 / 48 Discussion

Sean Penn Criticizes Unvaccinated Individuals

Actor Sean Penn expressed strong criticism of people who choose not to be vaccinated, labeling their stance as "cowardice of conviction." Penn suggested that those who refuse the vaccine should stay home and not participate in the workforce, citing a lack of leadership in public health messaging.

2:11:39 And that is something that Jesus would have us do to protect those that we can. Even if it comes with just a little bit of inconvenience for us I got mine and I hope that you will too.

We know this really started with leadership voids and now I think there are some examples of leadership

2:13:07 That are being helpful with it But we really got to get everyone else every everybody on the same page. I think the CDC should be much more clear I mean, they're just working on the old playbook It worked before it's but it's a blatant. It's working again. Don't say blatants of lie All right. Well since we're talking Since we're talking about about vaccines and mandates, and I'd want to reiterate that luckily not everyone gets sick from the vaccine. It seems to be a percentage of people but it's it's a percentage that is worrying. I have people in my family and my friend circles who have been vaccinated. I'm very worried for everybody but luckily doesn't...not everyone goes through a bad time

Holiday Heart Syndrome and Seasonal Health Risks

Doctors are warning of "Holiday Heart Syndrome," noting that heart attack deaths peak between Christmas and New Year's Day. Factors such as increased alcohol consumption, high-sodium diets, and holiday stress are cited as primary triggers for cardiac events during the winter festivities.

holiday heart syndrome· heart attack· atrial fibrillation· alcohol· stress

2:14:00 But the people who are or will go through a bad time, well again I've never heard of this before. Been doing this show for 15 years. I notice patterns it's kind of what I do. People dying around the holidays, people dying from whistles at soccer matches, people dying from all stuff like this. We turn now to your health this holiday season and we're not talking about the flu or COVID but about your heart The risk is serious and doctors are trying to spread the word. See, I'm literally throwing it's not COVID or flu don't worry about that it's your heart! This morning doctors are urging Americans to put hearth health at the top of their holiday to-do list That's because more people die from heart attacks between December 25th and January 1st compared to any other week of the year with Christmas Day being the deadliest day of all Doctors say the leading factors include family stress

2:14:56 falling out of good habits like healthy eating. It's not just an issue that holiday heart is a benign condition, it actually is a very potentially serious condition that causes people to develop heart failure symptoms. Increased alcohol intake can also result in what doctors call Holiday Heart Syndrome. Have they said enough? heart enough time so we don't have it. I love it! Died suddenly holiday heart, holiday heart, have some holiday heart, have some eggnog that's when binge drinking causes irregular heartbeat which are associated with a higher risk for stroke is this true? Does heavier drinking accelerate your heartbeat? Well I don't know any of this to be true and what I find peculiar is that I think a lot of people actually eat quite well on the holidays

2:15:42 You get some nice bird meat, which is you know it's not like eating a big prime rib. Uh you've got some usually potatoes of some sort or sometimes yams and vegetables... Excuse me are you saying a prime rib is bad for you? No, I'm just saying if you're going to look at healthy food generally speaking people would say that a bird meat would probably be healthier than beef meat. I disagree! Okay well no I know...you can take either side but let's say you have prime meat it's beside the point. You're not eating a hamburger from McDonalds let's put it that way

2:16:19 You're not eating a wood chip meal that's from one of the fast food places. You're eating prime rib or turkey meat, or ham... Not true! The Jews they go to they go eat Chinese crap Yes they do on typically on Christmas day brag about it I've talked to horror witnesses about this I'm on the inside of this. And yeah, they love to go eat Chinese food but Chinese food is very healthy! Are you Jewish adjacent? Is that what you're telling me? I am a once-a-week Jew... That's me Wait there's more Certain people might be more predisposed to it but you can have no history of any heart related conditions and drink excessively or consume too much alcohol during the holidays

2:17:05 and you could create a situation where you develop atrial fibrillation. I have never heard of this ever congestive heart failure even in the absence of any pre-existing risk factors." A lack of sleep is another major concern, a new survey found adults on average lose 39 minutes of sleep per night over the holidays and if you're hosting a holiday party prepare to get even less shut eye. Party hosts reported sleeping up to 83 minutes less than usual on their party night, all contributing factors that doctors warn could spoil the holiday fun if you don't make time to take care of yourself." It could spoil your holiday fun if you fall down dead from a heart attack! Thank You ABC

Australian Health Experts Criticize Santa's Weight

A health expert in Australia has called for a "healthier representation" of Santa Claus, arguing that the iconic figure's obesity promotes unhealthy eating habits. The doctor suggested that Father Christmas should lose weight to avoid associating the holiday season with overindulgence and heart risk.

santa claus· obesity· australia· public health· heart health

2:17:48 Australia has an even more egregious way of communicating that you just might die, you just might be unlucky but it's not from anything that you put into yourself. No no. A Santa visit is part of the Christmas tradition for many families One health expert says he's promoting unhealthy eating habits unless he loses a few belt sizes. And I'm calling for a healthier representation of such an iconic figure which is Father Christmas. Doctor says obesity shouldn't be celebrated at a time when so many people overindulge Statistics show that there is a significant increase of heart attack and fizzes to the ER during this period of the year. We should not associate this wonderful, joyful time of the year with the need for overeating." An idea professional Santas are losing their hats over. So don't be fat because you can die from a heart attack but they're conflating it with Santa. Santa's a bad example cause he's fat

Children's Medication Shortages and Pharmacy Limits

Major pharmacy chains like CVS and Walgreens have implemented purchase limits on children's pain and fever medications due to high demand during the "tripledemic" of flu, COVID, and RSV. The Biden administration has authorized the release of Tamiflu from the strategic national stockpile to address these supply chain constraints.

tylenol· ibuprofen· cvs· walgreens· biden administration

2:20:58 too new from the stockpile because it's hard to know. I find this a very challenging report because i had 800 milligram pills of ibuprofen, I had amoxicillin, I had hydrocodone and threw most of that out just gave me gas and constipation But now we have these reports popping up. Well, this just in two of the nation's largest pharmacy chains are now limiting purchases of ibuprofen and acetaminophen for children because of short supply and high demand amid nationwide outbreaks of flu and other respiratory illnesses. CVS says it's limiting shoppers to two products each. Walgreens is limiting online orders to six over-the-counter pain and fever relief products for children. Six products

2:21:45 This is not a shortage. This is a bogo, you guys are... this is a promotion! It's too much. This is bullcrap! If there's a shortage there- You don't need two bottles of ibuprofen Who needs six? Yeah, I mean I get a bottle of ibuprofen and it lasts for months on end like six months one bottle Here's the good morning America hour three with the doctor. And this is not good here our doctors It's not good here doctor your pharmacy chains We got to sell some more ibuprofen in the cells of children's pain medication as a result of this surge

2:22:22 of respiratory viruses. What do we need to know? Well, there's a move from pharmacies as well as the federal level to avoid people from stockpiling these medications which have been so useful for patients in special needs... This is a big pharma end-of-year they're like hey you know what dump inventory! Yes! ...children during this winter season So here's what's going on I just wanted to find exactly what's what we're seeing so due to the increase in demand and supplier changes products are seeing constraints And with that, places like CVS and Walgreens are limiting the amount that patients can get. For example in CVS two medications per patient and I'm talking about fever reducing medications and those medications we use to treat symptoms for example Mucinex also there are limitations applied to those products bought on- Mucinex? Hold on a second! Patients that we used to treat symptoms for example Mucinex... MUCINEX?!

2:23:12 Wait a minute, wait I gotta get the sentence before this. It's like CVS and Walgreens are limiting the amount that patients can get for example in CVS two medications per patient and i'm talking about fever reducing medications And those medications that we use to treat symptoms for example Mucinex Is mucinex is not a fever reducing medication? No it's uh what do you call it a uh Antihistamine no it's one of those things that makes you cough up phlegm It's a term for it. I mean, the congestion congestion congestion is it? Yeah but there's a term specific for something like using that by the way while you're playing that I am on Amazon There is so much Tylenol for children available from 100 sources and 10 packs 10 packs this is like tons of this stuff

2:24:08 I mean this just, I mean Mucinex... These are lies. Yeah, Mucinex is owned by Ricketts? I think these are some of the biggest... Ricketts. I think Ricketts owns them yeah, Ricketts. Ricketts was a client at one point i think maybe at Podshow It's huge and they do a lot of consumer goods. Anyway, I'm skeptical about this being a fever reducing medicine for children Also there are limitations applied to those products bought online and right now the FDA is working to reduce the impact Oh wait how many can you buy online? You said 10 packs? Well there are still a lot of two-packs but

2:24:49 It's so much you can get online. It says unbelievable, it's page after page. But we still need to work on... That's of Tylenol for children alone I didn't look up anything else. Ensure that people prevent them from stockpiling and collecting these medications because they can be so helpful and you only really need one bottle of Tylenol for example to last you a season. Don't buy the whole rack! So you don't need the whole rack from the whole family pack. You just need one bottle and that's good enough." So if parents see empty shelves and they're desperate because they have a kid at home with the fever, can they break up adult medications or should they stay away from doing that? I would avoid that as an emergency physician part of my clinical experience involves toxicology or patients who take too much medication unfortunately children are often victims of that

2:25:29 For example, some people may not know that aspirin can be really harmful for children and they're just trying to help reduce their fever. They may think that giving them that will be helpful but I always have to advise them not do that. That's good to know. Thank you Dr. Darian. Fabulous thank you doc so good to know this is this has scam written all over it now there again i think Children are in dire straits because of masking and they're more sensitive, and Lord knows what else has been injected into them or put into them.

Elon Musk and the Twitter Files Redactions

The ongoing release of the "Twitter Files" has revealed how the platform assisted the Pentagon in online influence campaigns. Critics note that many of the documents are heavily redacted, potentially obscuring the fact that these programs were established during the Obama administration.

elon musk· twitter files· pentagon· barry weiss· redactions

2:27:02 Oh yeah, you can't smoke it for everybody. Now let's talk about Elon before we go to nightings and birthdays etc I have two clips Okay Let's do them I got Elon Twitter Musk One, and this is an Amy Klobuchar. You can't say don't say trigger warning that's violence Elon Musk said he'll resign as Twitter CEO once he finds someone quote foolish enough to take the job unquote. Musk tweeted the announcement Tuesday evening after Twitter users voted yes on his poll over whether he should step down. Musk waited a day and a half before commenting on the results

2:27:41 This comes amidst deepening turmoil at Twitter. On Tuesday, 100 former workers filed complaints against Musk and the company alleging illegal termination sex-based discrimination and failure to pay severance Okay, yes good. That's the basic story but let's go to part two against little yeah that's Amy's level exactly meanwhile Twitter continues to leak internal documents via selected reporters and what they're called See this is Twitter is leaking no they're not leaking their publishing through selected. Oh shoot oh gosh

2:28:23 What happened the dog bite you finally no I made a big spill a big spill ah dump some Don't let it get on the gear. No, I was lucky on the gear all in my lap Let me tell you what I was doing. I heard you open your can yeah And I got jealous and I have three mugs I have three nice one with yes. I was jealous one with coffee one with water and And these are all like Joe Rogan Yeti cups. And one with a small can of Dr Pepper, which I'm like oh! I'm gonna have my Dr Pepper. Oh the quicker picker-upper. So the Dr Pepper is just in the can to keep it cool and I opened it up sideways to help the can fall out but it was the water cup which was full

2:29:14 So that's all in my lap. Okay. Oh, you painted a crazy picture! Yes I did... Alright back to the- So ya got water in the lap? So you look like you peed yourself while doing the show. Pretty much. Meanwhile, Twitter continues to leak internal documents via selected reporters and what they're calling the Twitter files. On Tuesday journalist Lee Fung posted part eight of the release which shows how Twitter assisted the Pentagon in an online influence campaign by protecting certain accounts at the military's behest including fake ones

2:29:51 Right. This is very interesting because it fits perfectly into the repealing of Smith-Munt, which was actually in a National Defense Authorization Act during Obama and along with that I would say that these documents are beautifully Redacted. They are redacted. It's horrible and what but wait, but what are they redacting? They're redacting the fact that all of this stuff took place during Obama's tenure That's what they're redacting they're taking out the year and the date so you can't figure out that this all was put in place during Obama Well, that's interesting thing where'd you get that from from my wife

2:30:37 Good for her. To be honest about it? I want to say, I'm glad you caught this other aspect which i missed and shouldn't have Which is that she used the word leaked Yeah Inappropriately? It's not being leaked. No! It's not like leaks, it isn't something under the table... It is- ...it is being done officially. Exactly the way Glenn Greenwald did The Snowden Files. It runs through lawyers, lawyers redact they take stuff out this is all controlled and I'm sorry but Barry Weiss, Schellenberger and all these other people that they are..I don't think they all know what but they're being used. Right, I would agree with that

CHAPTER 43 / 48 Discussion

Ad Revenue Decline in Top Podcasts

Top-tier podcasts like *Pivot* with Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway are reportedly seeing a significant decline in advertising, with some episodes running without any external ads. This trend suggests a broader shift in digital marketing budgets away from traditional podcasts and toward platforms like TikTok.

podcasting· ad revenue· kara swisher· pivot· tiktok

2:31:18 Part two? Yeah. Meanwhile, Twitter continues to leak internal documents via selected reporters and what they're calling the twitter files on Tuesday. I'm sorry already played that all right well interesting you bring this up let's talk about big tech for a second because we still have to get rid of the real problem in big tech and the real problem is the money problem the problem is Facebook Twitter to an extent, certainly. Although it's not...Twitter doesn't really care. Google they have one big problem and the big problem is the ad money that is left because that's drying up very very quickly the first budgets to get slashed are online and we can talk about a bit more because I listen to Pivot my hate listen

2:32:13 And they have two ad breaks. Two in pivot? Both ad breaks, that's Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway both ad breaks were empty no ads. So we'll be right back to do the room and we're back! No ad break, no ads at the start. They kept the clock... where there's an ad break and they announce it as though that maybe someday in some distant future, someone could drop an ad in there. Maybe they get a nickel or two. Are you kidding me? Well let's just swallow your pride and go through finish this show without an ad! That's not how works. This is interesting because Tina also questioned this. The way it works is these are ads that are sold so you just do the show and they insert ads

2:32:58 the break. After the fact, yeah but they had nothing there's they didn't even have a house ad to sell well if you ever watch Democracy Now with Amy Goodman trigger warning she always takes these breaks and they've never had an ad in 20 years of this show ever! The fact that it is drying up on top podcasts like Pivot says that this is a real problem And all of the money that's left is going to TikTok. So I had the top Republican commissioner from the Federal Communications Commission, Brendan Carr on my show a few days ago and asked him about TikTok he told me that American kids using TikTok are bombarded with addictive content pushing self-harm pushing eating disorders while the Chinese version in China is pushing educational material

CHAPTER 44 / 48 Discussion

TikTok National Security Risks and "Digital Fentanyl"

FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr has labeled TikTok "digital fentanyl," citing its addictive nature and potential for Chinese government surveillance. The U.S. Senate recently voted to ban the app from government devices due to concerns that ByteDance is effectively controlled by the Chinese Communist Party.

tiktok· china· brendan carr· national security· bytedance

2:33:48 and a mandatory time limit so Chinese kids can't be on that app too long. Do you think China's doing that purposefully? Trying to use TikTok to harm American children?" The short answer is we don't know, but Brennan Carr has called it digital fentanyl and I think that comparison is apt for two reasons. One is she points out- Digital fentanyl! It's highly addictive, highly destructive. It's increasing the loneliness isolation and rising rates of suicide and depression we're seeing among America's youth And also like actual fentanyl ultimately you can trace it back to China The precursor chemicals for fentanyl come from China The other thing is this... Hey hey listen Mr Gallagher

2:34:26 Why don't you go do something about actual fentanyl, you douchebag? Whether or not they're doing it intentionally there's another asymmetry in our relationship. Chinese propagandists, Chinese wolf warrior diplomats are all over our social media companies Twitter Facebook spreading dangerous lies about the United States attacking us while at the same time they deny their own citizens in China access to those very same technology platforms. That doesn't make sense, that's not a reciprocal relationship so one thing I've encouraged Twitter executives to do is apply a standard that says if you deny your citizens access we won't allow you access to our platform to spread dangerous lies there are all sorts of ways we can get at the information competition the ideological competition that's an essential part of winning this new Cold War Hey hey how about educating kids maybe in school

2:35:17 Actually, have them learn something like American history. Maybe the war of Saratoga? That might be useful. Stop making sense! So the US Senate just voted unanimously to ban TikTok from government phones. TikTok is a popular app that is from China, you have a bill to ban TikTok completely nationally over its ties to China and because of national security risks. For the 100 million TikTok users in the US including two thirds of teenagers including 2 teenagers I know very well what information could the Chinese government be collecting about them? Hold on! Stop the clip! Clip stopped Is he talking about couple his teenage lovers What is he talking about? He doesn't have kids does he? Yeah I think he does have kids yes

2:36:02 Oh, okay. Remember what I said? Jake Tapper who was a prominent guest... You know, I thought this was Cooper, Anderson Cooper No no it's Jake Tapper but he was... Oh it's Jake Tapper! He sounds like Cooper that's funny Not at all Well he does to me today, I don't know... Tapper who is right there front and center at the Deputy CIA Director's birthday party At his home Oh that's nice. With the rest of CNN? In the US, including two-thirds of teenagers... I can see where you get the Cooper from. It was a little adenoidal. Yeah no it's got that and here's the problem once you glued into that thought then is Cooper. But Jake doesn't sound as gay Well now they know who it is I hear Jake. I'm pretty close to keeping these things normal

2:36:54 in the US, including two-thirds of teenagers. By the way Pooper also has a kid FYI. Just so you know in 2022 gay guys can have kids It's all right. I know for them Yes, well what information could the Chinese government be collecting about them and should they delete that app? They should and I recognize particularly as a younger member of Congress This will make me very unpopular with your teenagers and many others But the fundamental problem is this Jake TikTok is owned by ByteDance and ByteDance is effectively controlled by the Chinese Communist Party The editor-in-chief

2:37:29 of ByteDance, for example is a CCP secretary and has talked about making sure all product lines all business lines follow appropriate political control. So the question we have to ask is whether we want to give the CCP the ability to track our location track what websites we visit even when we're not using the TikTok app itself and increasingly since a large percentage of young Americans use TikTok to get their news whether we want them to have the ability to selectively edit that news. It's as if in 1958, given that TikTok is on the cusp of becoming the most powerful media company in America we would have allowed the KGB and Pravda to buy The New York Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Washington Post all combined. They didn't? Well here's the sad thing

2:38:16 They're pointing all fingers at China and TikTok. Now, first of all the fact that the whole US government has banned themselves from loading the TikTok app on their phone shows you how many people are in bed with big tech These guys are funded by pharma and tech pharma and tech That's who's paying for your representatives Maybe there's also I'll be I'll be generous and say 10% of your politicians may not be affected by this, but they're the ones that are here today and gone tomorrow because they got no money. They can't be on committees. The whole thing is so corrupt to say oh yeah it's national security... The real danger is our own media and technology services businesses

CHAPTER 45 / 48 Discussion

The Church Committee and Intelligence in Journalism

A look back at the 1975 Church Committee led by Senator Frank Church highlights the historical involvement of the CIA in American journalism. Church warned that the technological capabilities of intelligence agencies could lead to "total tyranny" if not strictly supervised by law.

church committee· frank church· cia· journalism· surveillance

2:39:11 And I would like to go back to the 1970s. We had a committee called the Church Committee and the church committee, and you can go look that up famously. The question was asked hey do you have any CIA agents working as reporters? Well yeah kind of! Where? Oh I don't know CBS NBC ABC all the big ones oh uh... And then they had to take it into secret Q&A session because it turns out that the intelligence services were all rife throughout journalism who knows Kara Swisher could be a spy she certainly wants to be one

2:39:47 She could be a spook. She could be she could be intelligence asset it would be a new technique because generally speaking Spooks don't They don't draw attention to themselves by saying they want to be spooks correct But like I said, it could be a new technique in 1975 what were the computer was the state-of-the-art computers and in 1975 Well, the first microprocessor was coming out around then and 75-76 is when hobby 8080 Hobbyists were starting to build different kinds of computers. It was it was beginning The personal computer revolution was beginning in 1975 let's go back to August 17th 1975

2:40:37 And let's listen to Senator Frank Church, the one I just told you about on NBC's Meet The Press. But let me tell you this in the need to develop a capacity to know what potential enemies are doing, the United States government has perfected a technological capability that enables us to monitor the messages that go through the air These messages are between ships at sea, they could be between units military units in the field. We have a very extensive capability of intercepting messages wherever they may be in the airways now that is necessary and important to the United States as we look abroad at enemies or potential enemies

2:41:38 We must know. At the same time, that capability at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left such as the capability to monitor everything telephone conversations telegrams it doesn't matter there would be no place to hide if this government ever became a tyranny if a dictator ever took charge in this country The technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny. And there would be no way to fight back because, the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done is within the reach of the government to know

2:42:33 Such is the capability of this technology. Now why is this investigation important? I'll tell you why, because I don't want to see this country ever go across the bridge. I know the capacity that is there to make tyranny total in America and we must see to it that this agency and all agencies that possess this technology operate within the law and under proper supervision so that we never cross over that abyss. That's the abyss from which there is no return." And hello from the other side of the abyss. Yeah, we're on the other side of the abyss! Hello? This started a while ago this is done. It's a done deal. This is beautiful clip it explains so perfectly what the problem is So when you see the drip-drip-drip on purpose Of I believe even intelligence controlled sub stack gang
