About this episode

CIA Director William Burns made a clandestine visit to Kyiv to meet with President Volodymyr Zelensky, signaling a potential escalation in the Ukraine conflict reminiscent of the 2014 Maidan revolution. The secret mission coincides with a tense standoff at Ramstein Air Base, where Germany continues to block the export of Leopard 2 tanks despite pressure from NATO allies. While the United States pledges hundreds of Bradley Fighting Vehicles, the Pentagon maintains that M1 Abrams tanks are too logistically complex for Ukrainian forces to operate.

At the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, global leaders including Tony Blair and FBI Director Christopher Wray advocated for a digitized health infrastructure and increased private-sector surveillance. Siemens AG Chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe announced a shift toward lab-grown proteins to achieve a zero-carbon value chain, while futurist Nita Farahani detailed the legal framework for monitoring employee brainwaves in the workplace. In the United Kingdom, Health Secretary Steve Barclay attributed 50,000 excess deaths to NHS delays, though critics like Neil Oliver suggest broader systemic causes.

Candace Owens posits that older generations are uniquely susceptible to vaccine propaganda due to Cold War-era conditioning. Meanwhile, the homesteading community provides a reprieve from globalist agendas, with producers Sir Lastrow and Melissa contributing rare blue Araucana eggs to the value-for-value ecosystem. The episode concludes with a look at the Houston McDonald’s known as McStabby and Janet Yellen’s efforts to counter Russian influence in Africa.

COVID-19 Spray Vaccines, Canadian Medical Research

Canadian researchers at institutions like McGill University are reportedly developing a spray-based COVID-19 vaccine delivered via a device in the mouth. This delivery method contrasts with the original mRNA vaccines designed for deltoid injection to isolate spike protein production. Skepticism remains regarding the efficacy of inhaled spike proteins compared to traditional intramuscular shots.

00:00 Yeah, well you might as well say it now, she stinks. Adam Curry, John C. Devorah. This is no agenda. And from Northern Silicon Valley, where we're all awaiting the spray COVID vaccine. They shoot it in your mouth. I'm John C. DuBois. Hmm. It's the gear your levels low man. Oh, I see. Maybe it's here. Hold on a sec. Let me check. Well, that would be the reason. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not that bad. No, you just had very low energy. You were low energy, man. Yeah. Give me, I'm waiting for the, have you seen this thing? They stick this device in your mouth and they pump you full of COVID vaccines. No, that, no, that's from the movie.

01:15 No, it's from the... it just came out this morning. It's from Toronto or McGill or one of those colleges in Canada trying to get into the act a little late. I don't know anything about this. Yeah. Nah, that doesn't sound right. It's a McClatchy story. This is from the... from the Glass Onion. That's where you saw it. You're dreaming this. That thing isn't real. I'd like to know how it's supposed to work. Are they going to create spike proteins in your lungs or what? I hope so. I think... I mean the idea, if you recall, we always forget this, that the original idea of the original spike protein generating COVID vaccine, MRA, is to isolate it in your deltoid

01:59 make sure that it stays there and then in that little area, that area produces a bunch of the COVID spike proteins which go throughout the system to create the effect, the needed effect. Yeah, I kind of remember that. That's what it was supposed to be but then it got shot, you know, it's going every which way and now you're gonna spray it, doesn't make any sense. Oh man, let's see. I guess we're gonna go straight to that, huh? Are we I don't know if there is only got really Ukraine and kovat today's not only well if there is such a vaccine I think Scott Adams should try it first You know I was hoping you you're the one that keeps bringing this up. I have no clips. I'm not gonna play anything Other than don't believe the video you saw go and watch the whole thing because we're just stupid. We're just lucky John I

02:54 Just because we don't trust the government is anti-vaxxers, that's why we live and are happy. Anyway, doesn't matter. Just as it's fighting season or this fighting season is over in Ukraine. It's stroke season in Canada So what is the sling between influenza? Infection and stroke. Yeah, I didn't know about this either until last year But it turns out that after flu season about three or four weeks later. There is a stroke season And I think most of Canada is getting down off of a big hump of flu. So now we're starting to see more strokes. And a friend of one of my colleagues actually mentioned that at work the other day. He said, have you noticed how many strokes we're seeing? It's a lot more than usual it feels like. So anecdotally, we're starting to see that. I was unaware, but it's stroke season.

CHAPTER 03 / 44 Discussion

Candace Owens, Generation Cold War, Vaccine Propaganda

Candace Owens argues that older generations, including Donald Trump, are susceptible to vaccine propaganda because they lived through the Cold War and the polio era. She claims that "Generation Cold War" is conditioned to believe in government-led medical solutions and Russian threats. Owens suggests this background makes it difficult for older individuals to acknowledge potential risks associated with modern mRNA vaccines.

05:44 Well, I'm being mocked by the artists. So that's why I Haven't seen anything where they making fun of you on the no agenda art generator. I'm sorry. That's no good Yeah, yeah, and so I've taken it to heart. They obviously don't like these clips which are unbelievable Even though the presentation is dubious NHK is worse by the way as we've noticed in Alaska. Oh, yeah Much worse now I agree with that So the thing is, well you never see always bitching about this and that. Well I'm gonna bitch about Candace Owens. Oh I saw her. Where did I see her recently? What was she on? I saw a clip or two. She was on a hangout of some sort of thing. Oh I know who she was. No she was on the pool boy.

06:31 Yes, but this was like these clips come from their private chat. You know they do some guys This is like a gimmick that we've people have actually asked us if we wanted to but why don't we do this sort of thing? I mean like I do it do a premium thing at that only for people who stay for I I'm gonna explain why it's a bad idea because our show is a body of knowledge and It's not like a Wikipedia body of knowledge, but what we talk about on the show, we refer back to quite often. We say, well then in 19, you know, or 20s, whatever it was, 1910 we played this clip. So the idea of doing a private session for the few, the

07:20 Kind of ignorati or whoever that would for the lucky for the lucky few who will pay lucky few yeah It's a bad idea and people wait, but wait. There's a there's a caveat They not only want that but they want it to be on video has to be on video Yeah, we need to see you on video because that's really attractive Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So that's no, but anyway, so they do this little private thing. And so somebody in the no agenda, uh, stole it. They stole it. Somebody had no agenda social. Some, somebody put it up on YouTube and they got taken down and they put it up again and they got taken down and I caught it because I'm listening to this saying, this is not good. What we're hearing from Candace Owens, she's off the rails. She's making stuff up. She says, shucking and jiving.

08:09 And I'm using that in a racial sense. And it's annoying and I've lost all credibility with me. I've got four clips to play. And here we go with Candace Owens, a bigot. Okay, he comes from Generation... I always say this, do not underestimate the propaganda of Generation Cold... of Generation Cold War and also don't underestimate the propaganda that people that lived through polio went through with Big Pharma. Like, you have to imagine... Wait a minute, didn't you live through polio? I was a polio pioneer. I got both the Sabin and the Salk... Salk vaccines. Polio pioneer?

08:47 Yeah, literally that was what I you got a little sticker and a Collectible no doubt. I wish I had it. Yeah So I what she's talking about me. Okay. All right. No good now I understand where you're coming so I can say this she's full of shit. All right, let's listen to her through polio Went through with big pharma like you have to imagine this world like this is why people that think that polio was eradicated are the most difficult converts when it comes to making them understand vaccines are bad and the most difficult converts when it comes to making people realize that you know Russia that maybe didn't like there might be some nuance to UK and Russia people that survived Cold War because they have they have Russian propaganda Russia Russia Russia's gonna kill you all the time because from their childhood so I think that Trump comes from a time where the propaganda for vaccines was like he's old he's an older individual he's not he is old he's 80

09:39 80 years old? 80... something like that. I don't think so. I do think that he genuinely believes that vaccines saves lives. In his younger generation, I have found that old people are the most pro-vaccine. You cannot convince them that the COVID vaccine wasn't good. And I don't think they're all bad. Wow! I can see where you're angry about this. She is hitting your boomer right between the eyes there. Yeah, and totally wrong besides Trump's not 80, but that's okay exactly and they all have computers there It's actually pool and two other guys and her and nobody's correcting her on anything and I'm glad you're obsessing over this and I'm not obsessing over anything else. This is very good. This is much better I had totally I'm in total agreement totally gonna be obsessing over the gear in a minute

CHAPTER 04 / 44 Discussion

DDT, Polio Eradication Theory, Rachel Carson

A controversial theory suggests that the mid-20th century polio epidemic was actually mass poisoning caused by the widespread use of DDT. Proponents of this view claim DDT exposure causes paralysis symptoms identical to polio and that the disease "disappeared" only after DDT was banned in 1972. This narrative challenges the historical success of the Salk and Sabin vaccines, though critics point out that DDT remained in use long after polio cases plummeted.

ddt· polio· rachel carson· silent spring· fda· paralysis

10:28 So but she goes on now. She starts discussing some real nonsense that is just completely off the rails and it's and there's four I got three clips and They're just in said the last one's the most insane, but they're all insane listen to her and DDT polio in her theory. So when polio, when they were reporting super high numbers of polio, just before they rolled the vaccine, don't exact date me, but 1949-ish, and all of these kids are suddenly showing up with paralysis systems, animals as well, they don't tell this part, animals, all of this stuff. What was going on was at that time the FDA had passed allowing DDT to be sprayed.

11:08 on people, literally people at school, they were spraying kids with DDT. It is now recognized as a poison and the symptoms of when you are sprayed with DDT is you become temporarily paralyzed. This is why animals are becoming paralyzed, they're spraying it on the crops. Okay, hold on, hold on. Even I know this is bullcrap. This is really interesting. I wonder where she picked this up because I mean Tina can remember and I guess she would qualify as a boomer, she's two years older than me so I'm on the cusp but they didn't have that in the Netherlands when I was growing up. They would run behind the DDT truck like, spray me, spray me. I have some numbers here that will kind of back up some thinking but

11:53 I was looking to try to figure out where she got this information, why she's so adamant about it, and to be honest about it, I couldn't find it. It's gotta be some of the most obscure stuff on the net. I couldn't find any evidence of it. There was a couple of comments here and there that I think stemming from her. I know we've discussed this on the show. Didn't the guy who invented it, he was so convinced he would drink it? He would drink it, right. Alright, let's continue with this clip. as a regular product. Now it's DTT, which is a new product. Spraying kids with to not get fleas on me. It's like literally the signs were like, no fleas on me, DTT, like the posters for getting DDT. My mom told me about a commercial where- DDT is good for me. This was literally what was all around the world. She saw a commercial of kids in a pool jumping up and down as a plane crop dusted them with DDT. They were being sprayed with it right in their face. Literally, they're like, thank goodness, right? Mass, mass poisoning.

13:05 poisoning by the government. Mass poisoning, the symptoms, now look up the symptoms of DDT, what happens? You become paralyzed. It's literally in Singapore. Some of the pictures are too graphic, especially of children that were born because of DDT. So just a warning of anybody watching. It's insane. No, but if you can just look up, like, just look up literally DDT, what happens if you're exposed to DDT? Because now they acknowledge it makes you paralyzed. And this is what happens, right? Especially with newborns. So there's just mass poisoning that happens and then they're like oops we just poisoned a bunch of people right so let's say I'm making up a nice round number that 10,000 people were paralyzed that were showing up symptoms presumably some of these people actually had some disorder that caused paralysis the rest of them were just poisoned by DDT. Okay first of all

13:45 we need to explain the definition of literally because she's using that very liberally and if she can't even get the DDT part right, you know, I recall that once they got rid of DDT that's when shit went really wrong in Africa. I may have my facts wrong but this story is not correct and it certainly is not the cause of polio. She says and she well the next clip will clear it up a little more or make it worse which is what it does I should give some timeline information DDT was actually invented in the late 1800s and Somewhat commercialized in the 40s. It was used on soldiers they spray soldiers for lice in World War two and everybody got sprayed and

14:32 and it stopped working after a while because the lice developed an immunity to it and they had to use something called Lidan or Lidan or something and they've changed over. And it was sprayed liberally around for mosquito abatement and other things, I don't know about the fleas. And there was a... which they still do nowadays occasionally with malathion to prevent certain kinds of moths from forming in orchards. Her timeline is screwed up because for one thing, the polio vaccine came out in 1954 and then the The Sabin vaccine, that was the Jonas Salk vaccine, then the Sabin sugar cube came out a few years later. I had the sugar cube. I got the sugar cube as a kid. I remember that. I believe in the 60s. Yeah, yeah. That would have been, I got it probably in 60s.

15:22 No, I was in kindergarten. So what? 68? 69? Okay, well I was being given out, I forgot when it first came out, I don't have the timeline in front of me but I even have most of it in my head. It wasn't even, so in other words, That's supposed the whole thing, she has it as though DDT was a killing everybody, give them everyone what looked like polio and so they came with this shot and then they banned DDT and so the whole thing went away. DDT wasn't banned until 1972 and it was in worldwide use until 2006 and it's still being manufactured in India and used today. Where's all these polio cases? The reason they got rid of it was some story that the bald eagle was dying from it. I think that was it.

16:06 It was like... Well, it's actually... The story we kept getting and the one you'll run into a lot is the egg shells specifically of pelicans. Pelicans, that's it, I'm sorry, you're right, pelicans, pelicans. Was getting so thin that the eggs weren't viable and they traced that to DDT. Never really, I don't think, know if there's actually totally proven but it mostly stems from Rachel Carson's book, what the hell is the name of that book she had? famous book that was that came out and then put the scare into everybody about everything. I'm looking it up. Life and Legacy, Silent Spring. Silent Spring. Silent Spring. And so that book was a bestseller and it got everyone all jacked up and she was really hated DDT for some reason. May I say something for a moment here? This is what I love about our show.

17:04 because instead of, oh people don't know shit they're traumatized. I'm not gonna say you're old but you're older than I am and you have gone through some of these things and this is, as far as I know, I haven't seen you in quite a while but you were walking fine. I'm still walking fine. I didn't see no brace or anything and I know people who have, older people who had polio and it's not funny. But it's not from DDT. No, I don't think so. No, no, no, you don't think so. It's not from DDT. Not from the I know it's not. So there you go. So let's go to the second part of this rant. Also, you got no covid. So who knows? Maybe just a Superman. You know, this this who knows what's going on with you.

CHAPTER 05 / 44 Discussion

Polio Diagnostic Definitions, AMA, Guillain-Barre Syndrome

Claims have surfaced that the American Medical Association (AMA) manipulated polio eradication statistics by changing the diagnostic definition of the disease in 1954. By reclassifying paralysis cases as Guillain-Barre syndrome or meningitis, the medical establishment allegedly created an artificial drop in polio numbers. This shift in criteria is compared to modern changes in how COVID-19 cases and deaths are reported.

ama· polio· guillain-barre syndrome· diagnostic criteria· medical history

17:47 So the first thing they did was they banned DDT, right? And this instantly led to 70% of those cases that of 7,000 people, I'm using just a $10,000 number, 7,000 people just like no longer were getting DDT. It was like, okay, 10,000 people a year were getting this and 10,000 people now are no longer being paralyzed. Then you still have 3,000 people that were still showing like paralysis symptoms In 1954, the AMA, pardon, the American Medical Association decided to change the diagnostic definition of polio and to get more specific in what polio was. Right? So just by changing the definition of polio, this is when they came up with Gillian Barr syndrome, all of these other things, meningitis, and they were like, well, polio now has specifically beat, just like with COVID, right? First it was like dial up the tests,

18:33 Okay, wait, let's change the diagnostic definition. And they caused an artificial drop. So the combination of changing the diagnostic definition of polio and stopping spraying literally people with a paralysis agent for paralysis equals in 1957 We eradicated polio. It is absolutely bullshit. There was no polio eradication. They just stopped poisoning kids and the AMA changed definition of polio in 1954. And people hinge, the number one thing people say when they're not educated about vaccines is, but my polio. And I'm like, you should go learn about my polio. Please tell me you ISOed but my polio. Please. I do have an ISO though. But my polio, that's a show talk, but my polio.

19:19 I can't believe we are playing this exclusive content free to air. This is very this is egregious We might get a letter we might I do have an ISO of her and one of these rants It's not the one I don't think it's from the next it might be from the next one But let's just play it just out of the blue this I Candace ISO Look at this look at this look at this footage. This was this is in America. This is fucking America, okay? Okay, alright. That's a little long for an end of show ISO, brother. No, I don't have it for an end of show ISO. Okay. I just started playing because she goes, she does it so fast. She is way beyond the Ben Shapiro numbers. Well, she's from the same stable now. She works for Daily Wire, no? I think she does, yeah. Yeah, I think she does. So that would be the milieu. That would be the milieu.

CHAPTER 06 / 44 Discussion

MMR Vaccine, 1940s Polio Explosion, Daily Wire

Recent commentary has conflated the history of the MMR vaccine with the polio outbreaks of the 1940s, leading to claims that 50,000 children were paralyzed by early vaccine rollouts. These assertions are criticized for being historically inaccurate, as the MMR vaccine was not introduced until decades after the peak of the polio crisis. The discussion highlights the importance of verifying timelines when analyzing medical history.

20:10 Alright, so although Shapiro doesn't even work there anymore as far as I can tell. Yes he does! His show is part of the Daily... He is the Daily Wire, what are you talking about? I was looking into the Daily Wire. Oh, okay. The guy, you know, he's partnered with a kind of a... I can't believe that you're not going to let me obsess over Clott Adams and you're doing this. Okay, here we go. Part three. This is the last one. Now listen to this. This is the last clip I have from Candace. and she is going to, I don't know where she's going, how she's doing this, but she is switching from talking about DDT and polio and she's equating it with the

20:52 mRNA vaccines and she's mixing up her numbers nice and you get this things they just were basically saying anybody that becomes paralyzed is polio has polio right and the first Like polio pops in 1920, but then there's this extraordinary explosion of polio cases in the mid 1940s. This is when they were quite literally just praying kids EDT and and it wasn't exposure, they should have said the definition diagnostically was anybody that is paralyzed has polio. So, meningitis, it could have paralyzed people, Gillian Barshingham is paralysis, any form of paralysis. And then they just were like, okay, now we need to deal with this DDT poisoning, so we need to make sure that we've got this MMR vaccine. And by the way, also know this, when they first rolled out the MMR vaccine, they had a huge mistake and they actually paralyzed, like,

21:41 I don't want to make up a number. I think it was like literally 50,000 kids got paralyzed by the rollout of the MMR vaccine. Really? MMR vaccine? Beasles, mumps, rubella? Yeah, no, I know what it is. I had not heard of this. Well, 50,000 kids got paralyzed. Mm-hmm. Okay. So it must have been polio. Oh. I don't know what she's talking about. Well, she's literally talking fast. Literally. Literally. Okay. You still haven't fixed your mic though. It's still you still you know, I'm so I'm swinging it around like a madman. Yeah You are you have to move I off user switch it. I have to flip it. Yeah, you got to flip it You got it. You got to fix your your rubber, but your rubbers your rubbers are our rubbers are weak or banging right here Okay. All right. Well, I'm glad you got that out of your system. Well, I I'm sorry, but it was like it

22:37 It was worse than that. There was other stuff. Everything she said was nonsense and it was like How did she become this icon of the right-wingers because she switched over from being a left-winger? I mean, I always admired her for her initial switch over because I heard her on the Dave Rubin show when she discussed how this happened to her. And this was years ago. And I said, okay. And she'd come on and she'd do kind of a... I remember how this happened. Then she had the thing... I think she really broke through when she Was it the walk away movement or she did a thing with Kanye and they had t-shirts before they did the white lives matter? It's a long time ago. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, okay, so they can't all be us.

23:24 It doesn't take that much work to just look something up. Yeah, just consult that book of knowledge, baby. What we do is play clips, look something up and say, hey, you're wrong. But there is also something to be said for our vast pool of producers who literally work in these fields. Yes, we have people that are experts. And we make mistakes and we get corrected and we put the correction on the air. When we had the Vegas meetup, the Vegas super spreader event, which was at the height of COVID, that's when we learned from the people who were in the medical field who train people on ventilators that the protocol was killing people unnecessarily. And we learned all of these things. We had geneticists

CHAPTER 07 / 44 Discussion

Team Halo, PEDS Relief, Pediatric COVID Vaccines

The United Nations-backed "Team Halo" has rebranded as "PEDS Relief" on TikTok to promote COVID-19 vaccinations for children under five. The group claims that both Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are safe for toddlers and show zero cases of myocarditis in clinical trials. They emphasize that the long-term risks of COVID-19 on developing bodies outweigh the risks of the vaccine.

24:17 Going, uh-oh. What is this? Nothing makes sense anymore. They're full of crap. I think that's called heuristics. I got it in there, didn't I? Wow. Woohoo! The old callback. Well, since we're... Well, we'll do a little bit of COVID then. I have... What did I have here? Oh, yeah. These are kind of fun. You remember Team Halo who were employed early on through the United Nations to promote the initial vaccine? on TikTok. I think all of them were doctors. Are you still there? I think so. Okay, thank you. So they were doctors. That answered two questions at once, by the way. Yes, it did. I'm very happy about that. So they're back. They never identified as Team Halo as far as I know, but now they are known as the... what is it? The PEDS squad. PEDS. P-E-D-S. The PEDS squad.

25:17 Which I think is a very very bad name because it absolutely conjures up pedophile But yeah, the peds a couple couple of peds coming down the road be careful kids They call them peds squad, I'm sorry peds Relief Okay, so they're talking about the the vaccine for kids under five Want to know what the Pede Squad thinks about the COVID vaccines for kids under 5? Relief. Happiness. Excitement. Children under 5 will most likely be able to get their vaccine starting next week. This will make a huge difference to families who have been mitigating risk over the past two years just trying to keep their families and loved ones safe. While it's true that most young children will not suffer from severe outcomes due to COVID, many children have. Long-term effects of COVID

26:09 COVID on growing bodies are unknown. For this reason, the benefits of vaccinating young children outweighs the risks. All right. But which vaccine is better? Both Pfizer and Moderna induced a robust antibody response, which correlates to protection against symptomatic and severe disease. Both vaccines were found to be safe with zero cases of myocarditis reported in either trial. So what would we choose? Basically, we're recommending any vaccine that works for your personal situation and that you can have access to. In a minute, I'm gonna need a vaccination for my children to protect them. Alright, so we're out to kill children again, obviously. And we're going to invent incentivize everybody. If you're in Massachusetts, good news. We're back to that again. COVID-19 continues to be a presence in the Commonwealth. The latest data from the CDC shows the entire Bay State is at medium risk. And today, the public library announced a series of vaccine clinics throughout the

27:04 throughout the beginning of 2023 that come with an incentive to get the shot. The clinics will run on various days from January to March. And for those getting their shot, whether it's your first dose, second dose or a booster, you'll receive a $75 gift card. Walk-ins are welcome, but pre-registrations are encouraged. We're back, baby! We're back! Yeah! I'm waiting for the free hamburger. That should come. And the french fries. instead of you know thirty million dollars a year or whatever people are making these days we took a vow of poverty but make a much more entertaining program I think because we have producers everywhere as I mentioned just a moment ago and one of them is in a nursing home in Alabama and has sent on to me resources, resources from the health system in Alabama

CHAPTER 08 / 44 Discussion

Massachusetts Vaccine Incentives, Alabama Nursing Home Activity Book

Massachusetts has reintroduced vaccine incentives, offering $75 gift cards at public library clinics to encourage bivalent booster uptake. Meanwhile, a health system in Alabama has released an "Adult Vaccine Activity Book" for nursing home residents, featuring word scrambles and coloring pages about immunizations. Critics describe the use of children's puzzles for the elderly as a condescending propaganda tactic.

27:58 to help increase patients acceptance of the bivalent vaccine and these are nursing homes and they have, and I have a copy it's in the show notes, an adult vaccine activity book And it says on the cover right here... Does it come with crayons? I think it does. It has notes to activity recreation staff, community supporters, clinicians and other immunization supporters. We modified or created this activity book to assist you and your residents, customers and patients in learning more about immunizations they may need. And right off the bat there is an old lady getting a shot

28:37 from a doctor and there's little coronaviruses floating around in test tubes and it's a coloring, it's to color. And here's the immunization smart word scramble. See if you can unscramble these words about immunizations. Okay, this disease, oh yeah, the world shut down in 2020 due to this pandemic. Here's your word jumble. Hold on a second, your word jumble is V-I-O-C-D What could it be, old man? Well, since you mumbled it, I can't hear one letter you said. V-I-O-C-D V-I-O-C-T? D. COVID! COVID! V. Oh yeah, yeah. Then they have, uh, this cough sounds like a whoop and adults can give it to babies! S-I-R-E-P-T-U-S-S What could it be? Yeah, pertussis. Pertussis. Then they have, uh,

29:37 What is this? Why do you need to know it's called pertussis? Because that helps you get in the mood for your shot. They have a vaccine preventable diseases word fine. This is to get you to the idea that vaccines work, you see. And they have a crossword puzzle. Is this an actual little book? Yes, it's in the show notes. Did you get a copy of it? Yes, it's a PDF. It's the real deal. Oh, it's a PDF. Oh, it's the real deal. And here's the... They have a maze. You start. You go flu to COVID to shingles to hepatitis B, pneumonia. Oh, this is disgusting what you're describing. Yes, it is horrible. Oh, oh, oh! Here is a huge coloring page of the

30:23 the coronavirus spike so they assume that some some 80 year old man or woman Trump who's 80 Trump is a somehow is somehow became a you're assuming every 80 year old man or woman that's in the nursing home is actually an eight-year-old yeah and on the cover it even has one of you know how you would put on your book Yeah, number one bestseller, instant bestseller, whatever you did. Which I thought was genius. I didn't do it, the publisher did. Well, whoever did it was genius. They have one of these... Well, it worked. One of these banners, puzzles, crosswords, coloring and more! Oh, jeez. It's a joke. Somebody did this as a gag. No, it's not a gag. It's not a gag. Unfortunately, it's not a gag.

31:12 And so our producer says this is an adult vaccine activity book with pictures for our residents to color, word find games, crossword puzzles, all focused on how great vaccines are. I bet the crossword puzzle is a joke too. Yeah, of course it is. I want to remind us something that happened in the early days of the vaccine. I was thinking about this because it's been completely forgotten. In the early days of the vaccine, they gave the shots out to a nursing home in Sweden, killing everyone. I think I remember that, yes.

CHAPTER 09 / 44 Discussion

Excess Deaths, UK Health Secretary, Neil Oliver

Neil Oliver and other commentators in the United Kingdom are demanding answers for a surge in excess deaths that exceed pandemic-era peaks. UK Health Secretary Steve Barclay attributed the 50,000 excess deaths over the last year to NHS treatment delays and lockdown-related healthcare gaps. Skeptics argue that the global nature of these deaths suggests a cause beyond local healthcare failures or ambulance strikes.

neil oliver· steve barclay· excess deaths· nhs· united kingdom

31:49 And then they came back with a commentary about all these dead people. Well, you know, it was a mistake because you're not supposed to, and they've made it very clear that you're not supposed to give this vaccine to people over 80. Remember that? Over 80? I remember it. I remember it. What happened to that? Because they're giving the shot to anyone they can find with an arm. Even if you have half an arm, it's fine. We'll do it. We'll get a deltoid there. We can shoot it in there. Now what is becoming more difficult is hiding the bodies. You see, particularly the UK is all over this. By the way, I'm going to stop you because you've been doing it too much and you've been doing and this is of course you do this to me. I'm going to do it to you. You say you see

32:41 You do it and the problem I have with it is I don't care, but it's what Jack Benny used to always do Oh, well, I don't want to be Jack Benny. No. No, I think it's fine. The problem is it makes me think it's a gag Okay, so it's by saying so how just saying you see is that is that the problem you see? And I appreciate this. I want to make sure I do you know this is what we do well It's the way you do it is just a and that I that at ISC and it's just that we use a toss-off That's almost as bad as saying right. I'm glad you caught that. Thank you. I appreciate that right not as bad as saying right It's close, but it is true. It is becoming hard to hide the bodies and in the UK they are they are very very Concerned about this

33:29 Wait, they haven't jumped to the mulch yet? That's who we're going to. The mulch? Yeah, there's all these stories about mulching the humans. No, no, this is purely the numbers and numbers are being published. It's the excess deaths. This is the problem, the excess deaths. Now, they are coming up with the makeshift morgues. you know, which may be used very soon as, you know, oh this is the Kraken version, it's killing people, but we all kind of know what's going on. And it's got to a Neil Oliver level, who will just, and I took a little, you know, Neil Oliver from the GB News, the kind of lefty looking hippie like dude,

34:19 who speaks very slowly from Scotland. I clipped a minute from him because this was his latest. Excess deaths are rising all around us like flood water. In recent weeks more people have died than during the height of the pandemic. They have not died of Covid-19, we know that much. So what is happening? Why are thousands more people dying than usual? And why no daily televised announcements of those deaths as we had with those attributed to Covid? I can guess. Ask the question, however, talk about these deaths, demand answers and watch the chickens run faster still while lashing out with all the censorship, cancellation, downright demonising of dissent and more recently the most egregious insults they can muster. All their palpable panic and self-preserving outrage makes plain how much blood is already in the water.

35:11 Health Secretary Steve Barclay, the latest handed the poisoned chalice, was on another news channel this week. He was asked about 50,000 excess deaths in the last year, invited to explain them. Delays in seeing GPs, he said. Delays in treatment caused by lockdown. He was quick to point out that other countries were seeing similar levels of deaths that were nothing to do with the virus. As though that somehow made 50,000 people dying here less of a problem. If you think it's bad here, look over there. That's not an answer worth having. That's not an answer at all. The fact these deaths are happening worldwide means the attempt to blame them here on a failing NHS or striking ambulance drivers is for the birds. It's for the birds! This is what people are talking about now in the UK. I love that guy. I think he's pretty cool as well.

CHAPTER 10 / 44 Discussion

Tony Blair, Davos 2023, African Medicines Agency

At the 2023 World Economic Forum in Davos, Tony Blair advocated for a "whole slew" of new injectable vaccines and the creation of an African Medicines Agency. Blair argued that a unified regulatory system in Africa would allow for faster clearance and introduction of treatments across the continent. He emphasized that the experience of COVID-19 has created a political opportunity to digitize healthcare systems globally.

tony blair· davos· world economic forum· africa· mrna· vaccines

36:02 So meanwhile Japan has just lowered COVID-19 to seasonal flu status. All right. Yes. All right where it belongs And now I want to transition into my wrap-up of Davos 2023 the dance card you wanted to be on Tony Blair there so many so many cool people were there and I I mean I could clip forever and I mean you got Tony Blair, you got Christopher Wray, it's incredible how many people were there to talk to each other. But Tony Blair arguably

36:45 still has a Bill Clinton like status from 10 years ago. Yeah. You know he's got his big consulting company and of course he's very clued in to the UK government, I would say still. And I think he's... doesn't he also do stuff for China? But when... Probably. He was a big advocate for the vaccine at the beginning of COVID-19. So now he's on... He's red in. Well, he's not just read in, he is telling us what is going to happen. He's telling us what the program is, what the mission is. Does this mean it's going to happen right away? I don't know. But every single time we hear one of these globalist elitist douchebags, eventually it comes true, just like this vaccine. We knew 12 years ago that this is what they wanted to do. We've tracked the vaccine scam for over a decade. And now

37:41 Listen to this Tony Blair on a panel with of course Albert Bula, the CEO of Pfizer, you know all the all the shills. Hey, don't worry about it. We're gonna save you. We're gonna make your life better and it's and it's gonna work. The politicians are all gonna be all in on it. You watch. I mean the reality is for the political debate in many many countries now, COVID is in the rearview mirror. I mean, it isn't, but... Feel free to interrupt whenever you want to, by the way. So this, he's sad. Oh man, it's in the rearview mirror. We haven't rolled out the whole program yet. So it isn't yet, but we'll show you, we'll show you. Believe me, most of the people sitting in Downing Street at the moment are not talking about COVID. And so the G7 and the G20

38:29 I think you won't get the focus you need unless it's clear two things. One that there is an ongoing challenge an opportunity and I think that is not just about COVID It's about the fact that we are going to have a whole slew of new vaccines injectables that are going to deal with some of the worst diseases in the world Okay, a whole slew not just one or two a whole slew of vaccines which I'm I quite convinced will be mRNA and injectables. Injectables! Injectables! What is an in... I mean, injectable, from my understanding, that's a beauty product that you inject into your face, you know, to puff up your cheeks or inject into your lips. That word, the way he's using it, sounds like a vaccine to me. I mean, I didn't get any other... No, but he said vaccines and injectables, so it's probably more gene therapy, possibly.

39:28 Certainly not a vaccine. Okay, we continue. to make big changes in the health of the world. And if you want the politicians to focus, they need to think, look, this is coming down the track soon. Because if you tell them about a future pandemic, they'll kind of go, yeah, maybe it's someone else's problem. But you tell them, actually, in the next few years, you're going to have the opportunity to make a big difference to the health care of your population. That will focus them. But the second thing they need is to focus on the but on the opportunities to change healthcare that have arisen as a result of our experience of COVID. Because when All Set had done it, it was still a pretty remarkable operation. By the way, Sepi did a fantastic job. You guys deserve a lot of congratulations for it. But so I think it's around things like

40:15 How do you make sure you get the right scientific cooperation and the cooperation between the regulatory authorities so in the future you can clear things much faster? For example, on the continent of Africa, if we had an equivalent to the European Medicines Agency, we had an African Medicines Agency that allowed you to have one system... What? What did he say? The African what agency? The European what agency? Medicines. He's saying medicines. And what this is about is, he says we need One I think he's saying one global agency and there's a reason for this if we had an equivalent to the European medicines agency when African medicines agency that allowed you to have one system one standard which hugely changed the way that vaccines and treatments are introduced in Africa

41:01 Hello Africa, we're coming for you! This issue of manufacturing, so a lot of companies, countries learned that if they didn't have... Interesting little flub there. Instead of countries he says companies. ...medicines agency, an African medicines agency that allowed you to have one system, one standard, which hugely changed the way that vaccines and treatments are introduced in Africa. I think that this issue of manufacturing, so a lot of countries learned that if they didn't have some recourse to manufacturing sovereignty, if you like, either directly or indirectly through partnerships with other countries, then they were at a disadvantage.

CHAPTER 11 / 44 Discussion

Digital ID, Global Health Infrastructure, Bill Gates

Globalist leaders are pushing for a national digital infrastructure to track vaccination status and health metrics under the guise of improving healthcare systems. Critics link these initiatives to Bill Gates' previous statements on population control and the use of vaccines as a tool for global management. The transition from discussing vaccine sovereignty to digital ID is viewed as a move toward permanent biometric surveillance.

digital id· bill gates· surveillance· healthcare· zika virus

41:44 I think there's a huge impetus now for a national digital infrastructure. Digitization in healthcare is one of the great games. Yeah, digitization baby. We need global... Answer me this. How do you go in his stream of consciousness, which is what this sounds like, do you go from vaccines and then having a kind of sovereignty over the vaccine manufacturing in your country to digital currency. That's what he just did. No, no, no, no, no, not digital currency. Digital ID. He's going to digital ID first. Well, how did he go from... Okay, fine. Okay, I'll tell you why. Still, how do you get from point A to point B in his stream of consciousness rant? He's off the rails, this guy. You have to... Yeah, okay. He seems stoned. If you go back

42:36 which I won't do. He's saying, you know, this will really change everything. We need more vaccine. What he's thinking is how can I kill the most people in the most efficient manner? Now, well in Africa for sure they've been trying to do that forever. So what he wants is a digital ID so we can track you, know what you've received and if you're still alive. Do you still have a heartbeat? Here's another injectable. Of course that's what he's doing. He's thinking in the Bill Gates calculus and I use that word duh of how do we that's your use for the month how do we bring down the population well we know that vaccines will help solve that Bill Gates has said so himself at the TED talk he wants to kill people they all want to kill us and this is he's part of the

43:23 part of the rollout. And then what new vaccines, what new vaccines do we need? You know, finally, it's it's also about showing people and showing the political leadership. He's out of control. That you can make a positive difference to your health care system by adopting these measures because they've got a they've got an impact beyond any particular disease

43:59 and arising out of the challenges of COVID. Now he's going to stutter his way out. Which if we apply the right political will, we can make our health care systems better. I think he's having a stroke. Not just for pandemic and disease, but more generally for the health of the population. If you do that. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Digitize for what? Out of the challenges of COVID.

44:42 to which if we apply the right political will, we can make our healthcare systems better, not just for pandemic and disease, but more generally for the health of the population. If you do that, if you do that, they'll think there are votes in it, and you know, if there are votes in it, they'll focus. He fell apart there at the end. He didn't know the bump. It's falling apart. Oh my god. All right, so a couple more here just and this is this guy the hook get him off the world stage. No, he's here to stay and he's he's part of the system and this is what they are going to do. They're going to roll this out digital ID digital and under the auspices of for your health and for all these great new vaccines. I don't know what I need a vaccine for do I need anything else? Oh, we're gonna have some very Barry.

45:35 What? Beriberi or elephantitis. You may have any of those things could be floating around. Yeah. Nile fever. Yeah, well, nah, they got to bring back Zika. Zika. Zika, Zika, Zika. Zika, Zika, Zika. Prevent small heads with it. They already did the vaccine for Zika, but they used the adenovirus technique, which they rejected because the CIA's got no piece of the action. This is gonna fall apart. This whole thing is it is a nightmare waiting to happen a couple of other Davos clips again. This is the wrap-up I don't think we'll go back to this in a future show unless something I missed something

CHAPTER 12 / 44 Discussion

Hydroxychloroquine Suppression, Yale Immunologist, France Health Ministry

A Yale immunologist emeritus claims the management of the COVID-19 pandemic was planned in advance, involving intelligence agencies and the suppression of early treatments. He notes that the French Ministry of Health reclassified hydroxychloroquine from over-the-counter to prescription-only in late 2019, months before the pandemic was declared. This suppression is cited as a necessary step to clear the path for emergency use authorizations of vaccines.

hydroxychloroquine· yale university· france· joe rogan· sanjay gupta

46:15 The Moderna CEO was on my favorite show, the guys who've always been the morning crew from CNBC who have been there for year in year out. They're always outside the dopes. They're always outside with their coats on and with the snow in the background freezing. You guys can go over here on this cold balcony. Yeah, exactly. And they bring on the Moderna CEO. And they point something out. How about that? They were working on it in 2019, didn't even know what the virus was. No one knew about the virus except the Moderna CEO. You know, that reminds me of this clip. This is the COVID HCQ. This guy is a Yale immunologist emeritus. He's a famous professor.

47:31 And he was on one of these obscure podcasts, maybe you know it. I think I may have seen it once in my life, Disguidice. It's another one of his video podcasts, it's very elaborately done, it looks professional. Could be, I don't know. Yeah, it's another one of these guys. And, And this professor tells another interesting little tidbit about history, which, and he's a hydroxychloroquine guy who says this, you know, none of this would have happened if they just had this in play. Not even to mention the ivermectin guys, but let's listen to this. Because it goes to almost everything in the pandemic, not just the people who would have been treated with hydroxychloroquine, but it also goes to the necessity of the widespread vaccination, you know, and how many people have been affected by the vaccines negatively and all of that, the whole, and whether people needed to have vaccine passports,

48:30 and all across the world. All of that stems from the suppression of hydroxychloroquine. Do you believe Those things were suppressed purposefully to set the stage for oh, please tell me he says I do believe please I pray I pray he says I do believe the agenda items that you just discussed or Do you think those are coincidences? No, I believe that the Organization of the management of the pandemic was planned in advance and We know that there have been annual or almost annual planning sessions for management of the pandemic. It doesn't appear that those planning sessions have been altruistic.

49:12 They've involved spy agencies, they've involved the Chinese, they've involved military. It's too widespread of a non-medical audience, a non-public health audience, to have been solely organized on the basis of just controlling an infectious disease. And so I conclude that there's well more afoot than we know about everything that's going on. And in fact, we know that hydroxychloroquine suppression activities occurred well before President Trump had even said anything about it, that in fall of 2019,

50:00 the Minister of Health of France converted, changed the status of hydroxychloroquine from over-the-counter, meaning you could just go in and buy it on the shelves, to prescription only in France. And she did it by citing bogus claims that the drug was somehow genetically damaging. That is completely absurd because this is a drug that had been used for more than 50 years. Yeah, I was thinking just I think this morning about how CNN railed on Joe Rogan for eating horse deworming paste and then he had Sanjay Gupta on and he was like, well I don't know why they did that. And after that CNN's ratings were gone. Just gone. Destroyed themselves.

CHAPTER 13 / 44 Discussion

Censorship of Censorship, Social Media De-platforming

Observers note that the act of censorship itself has been censored, leaving many people unaware that dissenting medical voices were removed from platforms like Twitter. This "censorship of censorship" creates a reality where the general public believes no credible experts disagree with the official narrative. The lack of awareness regarding de-platforming efforts prevents a full understanding of the information landscape.

censorship· twitter· de-platforming· social media· narrative

50:52 There's another clip that I just want to play. No, if you got some COVID stuff do it now because I'm gonna move away from COVID. These are all related to COVID. I have three COVID clips from China. I think we need to keep up with that. Let's do it. Let's do it. But let me play this other clip. This is just a... you have to look it up. This is from a couple shows ago and it never got played. Look up Rando Podcaster. Yep, okay. I thought this observation was you know we talked about the censorship and everything but we did this little observation I thought was would be good to hear and then I'll play the three clips from China. Recently over New Year's party and there were a few people there who how can I put it politely are immersed in the narrative or drowning in it and

51:42 I was talking to them about the vaccine situation, trying to get through to them and at one point I mentioned, well they said to me, we haven't heard about this, it's the classic thing, why haven't we seen it on the news, why haven't we heard anything about this? And I said, well you know, pretty much anyone who speaks out gets thrown off Twitter and other platforms and they roared with laughter. They could not accept that anybody had been de-platformed, cancelled, suspended for criticizing the vaccines. You know, this was totally alien to them and I realized that the people outside of our movement, a lot of them actually have no idea

52:25 that this censorship has taken place. I think it's important for us to recognize here that the censorship itself has been censored and I think that's very important to note. I thought that was an interesting observation because it's a fact. The censorship has been censored. All right, so let's go to... That's a great point. That's a very good point. I know, I thought when I heard it, I said, wow. You know, since we're, the way we handle it, this show and all of our producers, we're beyond that. And so we can't see that that's going on and it's, I think, a drawback to us. It's true, yes. I would say in general, things we discuss here

CHAPTER 14 / 44 Discussion

Martha Stewart, Bivalent Vaccine Ad, Personal Anecdote

Martha Stewart has faced criticism for a commercial promoting the bivalent COVID-19 vaccine using a samurai sword metaphor. A personal anecdote from a former neighbor in a New York office building claims Stewart had a distinct "musk" or body odor during their shared elevator rides. The discussion reflects a loss of respect for celebrities who align with pharmaceutical marketing campaigns.

martha stewart· snoop dogg· bivalent vaccine· advertising· new york

53:16 Mmm, maybe 90% have no idea at all. This is good. I mean people like to You know, they're tired of news, they're not really watching news, they'll catch a headline, they'll see something in USA Today, you know, they'll see Martha Stewart promoting the bivalent vaccine. Do you see this ad that Martha Stewart did? Oh my god, I lost all respect for Martha Stewart. She already smelled bad, I knew that because we shared an elevator together. She had bad BO. Oh really? Oh yeah. I told you that before, haven't I? No, I believe me, I would have remembered. It was a big Martha Stewart supporter when she got thrown in jail. This was before all that. This was when I started on ramp in New York and we were on 42nd Street where we had an office and we would share the elevator at the end of the day. Now was it more, it could have been a one-off.

54:12 No, no, no, no, because many people shared the elevator with us and it was kind of a thing around the office like, phew, rode down with Martha. Yeah. Yeah, maybe just the end of the day. I mean, it's not nice to say this about women, but it just popped out. I mean, when you're sharpening some samurai sword and you're pretending that that is your protection against COVID, which is a pineapple, and then you're saying, I got it, and she's sewing a blue band-aid, you know, it's like you open yourself up to certain criticism. Yeah, well, you might as well say it now. She stinks.

CHAPTER 15 / 44 Discussion

China Lunar New Year, Zero-COVID Policy, Airfinity

China has dismantled its strict Zero-COVID policy just ahead of the Lunar New Year, leading to the first mass travel period without restrictions in three years. While the Chinese government officially reports 60,000 deaths since December, the health analytics firm Airfinity predicts deaths could reach 36,000 per day during the holiday. The World Health Organization continues to accuse China of underestimating the severity of the current outbreak.

china· lunar new year· beijing· zero-covid· airfinity

54:51 It's too bad. I wonder if she actually took that bivalent vaccine. Well, I mean I kind of lost I'm sure she did it people you know people take these vaccines not like it's yeah I got sick of her when she was doing all the the the chip commercials with the Snoop I got sick of him too sick of all of them Boy, you are. You're a... I've got you in the right mood now. Yeah, yeah. Let's go to COVID Lunar New York China 1. Since the abrupt dismantling of the Chinese government's zero COVID policy, many people have been anxious about China opening up to the rest of the world and the wave of infections that have swept through the country.

55:28 But as special correspondent Richard Kimber reports, most are brushing risks and fears aside to celebrate the most important festival on the Chinese calendar, the Lunar New Year. Days to go before the start of the Spring Festival. In Beijing, the holiday rush has already begun. This is the first time mass travel without COVID restrictions has been allowed in nearly three years. Wait a minute, are you sneaking an NTD clip in on me? Where does this come from? PBS? Oh! For many of the capital's migrant workers who come to make a better living for their families, it's an emotional return home to be with their loved ones. Qinze Guang from Changchun in northeastern China hasn't been back in five years. Finally I'm going back home. Before I was quite busy in Beijing and in the past three years I couldn't go back because of the epidemic.

56:21 China's Ministry of Transport says it expects travel to double compared to a year ago, to more than 2 billion trips over the holiday period. It would mark a recovery to 70% of pre-pandemic levels. Scenes at the railway station are in stark contrast with how it looked before China abandoned its strict zero-Covid approach, following widespread anger over pandemic curbs. Gone are the security personnel dressed in hazmat suits that patrolled transport hubs. And QR health code checkpoints, where people had to verify their health status before entering, are nowhere to be seen either. Of course it's now more convenient. It's easy coming in and out. I can go wherever I want. But now the virus has been let loose, some aren't taking chances.

57:09 One man we spoke to called Hua said even though he's returning home, he won't be visiting friends or relatives. The epidemic hasn't ended. I wear this to protect myself as well as others. These are the people, and we have them here as well, these are the people that are just lost, you know, they're just lost. A little bit diddy in that last thing. I liked it that he used the meme. I'm wearing this to protect myself and others That doesn't that's why is that a universe? That's always been promoted universally This is how brainwashing works when it's promoted and and and even though it's categorically not true admitted although proven not proven not true By just look around you

57:59 You know, it's spreading, you're spreading it, you're getting it. By the way, I want to thank someone in the troll room. Martha Stewart is not a stench, it's a musk. That is the correct term for a woman. She has a musk about her. That's better, better. It's more friendly. Well, after doing that vaccine commercial, she stinks. All right, back to China, Lunar New Year? Yeah, part two. London-based health analytics firm Airfinity forecasts that China could see as many as 36,000 deaths a day over the spring festival holidays. Over the past two months, Covid-19 has ripped through the country, crowding out hospitals and filling crematoriums like this one. Officially, about 60,000 people have died of Covid-19 since early December. That's according to China's National Health Commission.

CHAPTER 16 / 44 Discussion

Airfinity Health Intelligence, Disease Analytics Subscriptions

Airfinity, a London-based health intelligence firm, provides real-time data and forecasting for decision-makers to manage COVID-19 risks. The company, which recently added a former editor of The Economist to its board, offers a subscription-based platform featuring a user-friendly dashboard for tracking vaccines and variants. Critics compare the service to "Salesforce for disease," marketed to newsrooms and commercial intelligence teams.

airfinity· health intelligence· data analytics· covid-19· bill emmett

58:55 Medical experts say the true figure could be 10 times that. But it's hard to say exactly where the death toll stands. The World Health Organization has accused China of underestimating the severity of its outbreak. Earlier this month, it also said a lack of data from the country was making it difficult to help manage the risks. Well, this is a big benefit. Now, Airfinity company is fantastic. Have you looked at this thing? No. Airfinity preempt future health risks. Airfinity provides global health intelligence and analytics that decision makers can trust, understand, and act upon to save lives. Top news, former editor of The Economist joins Airfinity as an advisor. Bill Emmett, former editor-in-chief of The Economist, joins the advisory board. Wow. What's he got to do with it? Who cares? This is great.

59:53 Here's the interesting, the stats here are interesting. They say that after the Lunar New Year, they're gonna have 36,000 dead a day. I'm seeing right here China to see one longer, this is from Airfinity, more severe COVID wave as Lunar Festival fuels outbreak. Before it even happens, okay. Yeah, so this now the other thing was the Chinese announced they had 60,000 dead so far which is a very low number for a country that size but they were doing lockdowns and spraying everybody with DDT and who knows what DDT and Fallback day. Thank you. And so

1:00:38 And then we have our producers saying that they're not seeing all these line up of dead anything so far. Nope. Yet we listen to NTD and they have video of coffins that go for miles and miles. Yeah. So we're getting, this is like the Ukrainian war. The information we get stinks, just like Martha Stewart. Yeah, up to Musk. It totally stinks. And so all we can do is just take these bits and pieces and try to, you know, hopefully get somewhere near the truth because it's obvious we're not going to get the truth from these news sources. We can't handle the truth. Well, now that's a callback that goes out of the show. I'm sorry. It's not even within range. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1:01:22 I'm going back to Jack Benny. That's how bad it is with me. That's true. Jack Benny's pretty much of a pretty out there. Okay, let's go at the last of these clips. Hold on, why didn't that fire? Number three, here we go. Mike Ryan is executive director of the WHO. We do want and are working ever closer with our colleagues in China to try and understand better the transmission dynamics. We still do not have adequate information to make a full comprehensive risk assessment. and therefore we will continue to try to encourage access to that data. Medical experts have also warned that the rapid spread of the virus now might make the emergence of mutations more likely. Several countries, including the US, have imposed travel restrictions on arrivals from China. But at the same time, many other places

1:02:19 are welcoming the return of Chinese tourists. Among them, Hong Kong. It's a special administrative region of China. Even it had been largely cut off from the mainland until borders fully reopened this month. The high-speed rail line behind me that connects the Chinese mainland to Hong Kong has been closed throughout the pandemic. Now it's reopening, it's expected to see a surge in the number of Chinese tourists coming across the border. And just to give you an idea of how important that is for the Hong Kong economy, before the COVID-19 pandemic, more than two-thirds of the 56 million arrivals into Hong Kong from overseas came from across the border. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, the city's fallen into a deep recession. Many people are praying a rebound in retail and tourism will help lift the economy. But economists remain pessimistic and say a meaningful recovery could take much longer. I am blown away by this Airfinity outfit.

1:03:17 You're obsessing on it. No, I don't obsess over everything. I can't obsess over... I didn't say you're obsessing over everything. I just said you might be obsessing over this Airfinity outfit. You accused me of obsessing earlier about something else. So I can't... You can't obsess twice. You can't obsess twice in a show. So they have products, products... I'm at my limit. Yes, products. So they have a COVID-19 product. Listen to this. The COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly evolving and presents an ongoing challenge to all decision makers, even those with well-resourced commercial and medical intelligence teams. So this is for, I mean, I don't know, it's just for newsrooms, is it for hospitals? What intelligence teams are out there? Airfinity's COVID-19 platform serves as an outsourced analytics unit through a subscription.

1:04:09 Your organization receives full access to the most accurate, dynamic and comprehensive scientific real-time data set insights and forecasting engine on the market. Hello, Ron Bloom. Hey wait, do they have a dashboard we can use? Yes, here it is. I'm looking at it right now. A single platform to effectively manage your COVID risks. Airfinity Solutions combines push and platform experience, colon. Daily customized newsletters and direct alerts with real-time forecasts based on new developments. Weekly intelligence briefings with leading analysts and hotline access with any COVID-19 questions answered in hours. And a user-friendly dashboard with all data on vaccines, therapeutics, and variants of concern in one place. Wow, wow, wow, wow. I need a demo. I need a demo!

1:05:03 It includes. Send a note in there, they'll get the salesman on you with a call and show you a demo right away. It looks like Zoom. It looks like Salesforce for a disease. This is really, this is great. That's probably where it was sold to the VCs. Yeah, I think, and there's a lot of shills in this thing. Okay, well great, thank you very much for that update on COVID. We now move back to Davos where we just have a couple things left. Just to prove that I was speaking truthfully, the director of FBI, Christopher Wray, was on hand to talk about

CHAPTER 17 / 44 Discussion

Christopher Wray, FBI, Private Sector Collaboration

FBI Director Christopher Wray spoke at Davos regarding the "sophisticated" level of collaboration between the FBI and the private sector. He emphasized that while technology offers opportunities, it poses dangers in the "wrong hands," a comment interpreted as a reference to TikTok and Chinese influence. This partnership between government and tech platforms is characterized by some as a form of modern fascism.

christopher wray· fbi· davos· fascism· tiktok

1:05:41 How good the coordination is here in these United States with the platforms. And I think the sophistication of the private sector is improving and particularly important the level of collaboration between the private sector and the government, especially the FBI. Fascism. Made significant strides. Pretty much every technology we could talk about today, we see both great opportunity but great dangers. In the wrong hand. Yeah. Oh in the wrong hands great danger wrong hands. That's a red. That's a That's kind of a slight Leo Elon No, that thing is aimed at tick-tock. Oh Good point. Yeah, it's in the wrong hands. Well, it's going away

CHAPTER 18 / 44 Discussion

Siemens AG, Zero Carbon Diet, EAT Organization

The chairman of Siemens AG announced he has stopped eating meat to support a zero-carbon value chain, inspired by his 24-year-old daughter. He predicted that future proteins will be lab-grown and zero-carbon, eventually making traditional beef as unaffordable as caviar. The EAT organization is cited as a primary source for the policies and innovations necessary to transform global food systems.

1:06:27 Okay, the final two clips, we always have to have some futuristic thing coming from Davos. And there was tons of climate change and we're all gonna stop eating meat and I don't want to bore you with all that. But this was pretty good. Oh, please go ahead and bore us. I love this don't eat meat. All right. Well, then I will bore you for exactly 40, no, for exactly a one minute and 16 seconds with the chairman of Siemens AG. Yes, yes, yes, that's the guy. So it's a very important point that you are addressing. My daughter, 24, inspired me and said that how can you

1:07:17 advocate for this zero carbon value change if you still eat meat. So I stopped eating meat. Alright, and I also lost all humor, all energy. Is his daughter's name Lisa Simpson by any means? Now the math would say well you need to stop eating meat in 11 years to compensate for a flight to Thailand. What? 11 years, stop eating meat for 11 years to compensate for your flight to Thailand. Okay. Thailand. Who did that calculation? His daughter! His 24 year old daughter who inspired him. She's sitting there doing the math on this? Well, she got the programming. She's 24. What do you expect? She's right in the target market. I bet he also is very good at pronouns. Is to compensate for a flight to Thailand.

1:08:14 Yes, but if a billion people stop eating meat, I tell you it has a big impact. Not only does it have a big impact on the current food system, but it will also inspire innovation of food systems. And I predict that we will have proteins not coming from meat in the future. Be coming from Siemens lab! They will probably taste even better, so why are we trying to mimic meat? Oh, better! It's gonna taste better! It's gonna taste better! Mmm, yummy, can't wait! So why are we trying to mimic meat if we can have a better taste?

1:08:53 They will be zero carbon and much healthier than the kind of food that we eat today. That is a mission that we need to get on. I can inspire you to maybe look at an organization called EAT, easy to remember, EAT, who have all the facts on this and who have the policies necessary, the innovations necessary, and the skill necessary in order to make food systems sustainable and healthy. and healthy, sustainable and healthy. It's gonna be great. It's going to be effective. Safe and effective. If you want pure animal protein, if you want beef, it'll be like caviar, be unaffordable. Unless of course you live in Texas, you know where to go. So now we wrap this all up in a final presentation which had a panel which is moderated. I'm not gonna play that. I'm just gonna play a little bit of the video they played at the beginning.

CHAPTER 19 / 44 Discussion

Nicholas Thompson, Nita Farahani, Brainwave Technology

Nicholas Thompson, CEO of The Atlantic, moderated a Davos panel featuring Duke futurist Nita Farahani on the potential of brainwave-sensing technology. The discussion focused on a future where brain data can be used to fight crime, increase productivity, and even find love. Farahani is presented as a leading expert on the legal and ethical implications of monitoring human neural activity in the workplace.

1:09:48 So if we have this full-on digitalization of your health, did I say it wrong? Interject. Yes. No, you said it right. Yes. Interject. You've been to these things. I've been to these things. I've been to these conferences. I've never been to Davos. No, no, these things. I'm talking about a conference. Yeah. conference of any sort, they always have panels. There's two or three kinds of presentation. There's a guy who comes up there and actually gives you a, especially in programming conferences, somebody will give you a lecture.

1:10:24 about some new programming languages. Just a deep lecture, the guy's the CEO of the company. You also have keynotes, first of all. You have keynotes? You have keynotes for starters. That's usually somebody they pay or somebody that pays them. Well, the keynote was the first lady of Ukraine this year, so there's your keynote. Yeah, so we have a keynote and the keynote may or may not be interesting and educational. You have the lecturers who come out with the stuff that is always educational if it's something you're interested in. Then you have individual little speakers that speak about one thing or another and sometimes It's good, sometimes it's no good. The only thing that you can be sure that you can count on, you can count on this one thing. The worst of the worst of the worst in so far as any information gleaned are panels. They have a bunch of blowhards that are up there, they only get to speak for so long, sometimes there's one guy trying to hog the mic, ruining it for everybody, and generally speaking, nobody asks a question that's meaningful.

1:11:28 They're the worst. Davos is full of these. Yeah, we had Brian Stelterwater doing a panel which was hilarious but you know that these clips are everywhere so I'm not even gonna bother you with any of that. But here we had Tony Blair on a panel blowharding about how we have all these injectables vaccines but really the digitization of your health. And so once we've digitized that and we've taken away your pure animal protein, you're really only going to be good to be in a cubicle in front of a monitor being monitored at how you work. And this was a panel and it was moderated by, well I'm not going to give it away, I'll have him introduce himself. Hello everybody! Who's that?

1:12:16 Hello everybody! He's so excited to be there! Hello everybody, I'm Nicholas Thompson. I'm the CEO of The Atlantic. Yeah, the CEO of The Atlantic. That's who you want to moderate your panel on futurism. Hello everybody, I'm Nicholas Thompson. I'm the CEO of The Atlantic and I will be your moderator today. We are going to have an incredible session. Woohoo! An incredible session! Star of the show is Nita Farahani. She is a futurist and legal ethicist at Duke. Oh, legal ethicist. Hmm. And she's so smart. Oh, she's so smart. She's so smart. This guy's sickening. He's trying to do Tucker. That is so smart. That's the smartest thing I've ever heard anyone say on this show. Futurist and legal ethicist at Duke. And she's so smart. By the way, I find that offensive towards women. Women do that themselves to women. She's really smart. She's so smart.

1:13:10 You even notice that? Yeah, this is making the assumption that everyone else is dumb. Yeah, particularly women. So it's kind of misogynistic. Yeah, I agree with you 100% on this. She's a futurist and legal ethicist at Duke. And she's so smart and so interesting. You're going to learn a ton. This is how it's going to work. We're going to watch a short video. She's gonna come on stage and talk. And then we'll do bumper room. And then we're gonna do a little Q&A. Questions from the audience and that'll be a wrap and you'll leave enlightened and excited. First off a video, it's gonna make you... Wait, where's the other people in the back? There was a panel. No, it's just two people. It's just two people. You couldn't get anyone else on his panel? No! No, no. You can only have one smart person in the room.

1:13:54 Can't have more than one and we're going to do a Q&A and then you know, I'm gonna get the Q&A. This guy is so condescending and excited. So first off a video It's gonna make you see the future and understand a wonderful future where we can use brain waves to fight crime be more productive Yeah, yeah, let's roll. Let's roll. Okay, so I'm gonna use brain waves to fight crime and You kind of talked over it. I want to make sure that you heard that what he said Because he didn't just say the the fight crime and where is it now? He said yeah, just listen to this sure well We can use brain waves to fight crime be more productive and find love. That's rule and find love Oh, yes, it's going to be everything all in one so wait So I don't when I fight go out looking for love finding love I don't use my brain waves or is it brain waves?

CHAPTER 20 / 44 Discussion

Workplace Brain Monitoring, Subpoenaed Neural Data

A conceptual video presented at Davos illustrates a future where employers monitor employees' brainwaves to track stress, joy, and focus. The scenario depicts a worker receiving a performance bonus based on "brain metrics" but also fearing that her boss might detect an amorous interest in a colleague. The video concludes with the government subpoenaing employees' brainwave data to identify co-conspirators in a wire fraud investigation.

1:14:48 I use my brain but not my brain waves? No, you're not going to use the brain waves. The computer, the system will look at your brain waves and tell you what you like. Come on, you understand these things. So we have a little cartoony film. And remember, he said, you're going to be excited about the future. It's going to be a great future. It's so wonderful. You're going to leave this panel, this room, just all energized about the future. And here we go. Let's roll. You're in the zone. Even you can't believe how productive you've been. Your memo is finished. Your inbox is under control. And you're feeling sharper than you have in a decade.

1:15:27 Sensing your joy, your playlist shifts to your favorite song, sending chills up your spine as the music begins to play. You glance at the program running in the background on your computer screen and notice a now familiar sight that appears whenever you're overloaded with pleasure. Your state of brainwave activity decreasing in the temporal regions of your brain. You mentally move the cursor to the left and scroll through your brain data over the past few hours. You can see your stress levels rising as the deadline to finish your memo approached. By the way, your Apple Watch already is doing this. Causing a peak in your beta brainwave activity right before an alert popped up telling you to take a brain break. I'm sorry, do you want me to stop the show?

1:16:18 I need to take a brain break. You need a brain break for months. But what's that unusual change in your brain activity when you're asleep? It started earlier in the month. You send a text message to your doctor with a mental swipe of your cursor. Could you take a quick look at my brain data? Anything to worry about? Hey doc, could you please take a quick look? You can't get a hold of a doctor let alone send him a text about your brain pattern Doc, can you take a look at there's something with my brain with oh, what are you opening? Waterloo sparkling water All right now back back to the video. It's to your doctor with a mental swipe of your cursor Could you take a quick look at my brain data? anything to worry about

1:17:10 your mind starts to wander to the new colleague on your team whom you know you shouldn't be daydreaming about given the policy against intra-office romance. Now in the video you literally see, literally, see a little cloud appear over her head and it's the colleague in the cubicle across the way without his shirt on. And she's now fantasizing about her colleague and you know, she knows she should she's being a bad girl because you know That that's against hr rules. And of course they can see that on your brainwave Whom you know, you shouldn't be daydreaming about given the policy against intra-office romance

1:17:51 But you can't help sanitizing just a little. But then you start to worry that your boss will notice your amorous feelings when she checks your brain activity and shift your attention back to the present. You breathe a sigh of relief when the email she sends you later that day congratulates you on your brain metrics from the past quarter, which have earned you another performance bonus. You head home jamming to the music with your work-issued brain-sensing earbuds still in. When you arrive at work the next day, a somber cloud has fallen over the office. Along with emails, text messages, and GPS location data, the government has subpoenaed employees' brainwave data from the past year.

1:18:39 They have compelling evidence that one of your co-workers has committed massive wire fraud. Now, they're looking for his co-conspirators. It's going to be so fantastic. This is going to be a great future. I'm so excited about it. This is where I stop. I mean, it goes on for another five minutes. I could listen to this forever. You get clip of the day. Thank you.

CHAPTER 21 / 44 Discussion

Russian Protester, Stalinism, Vladimir Putin

A video from Deutsche Welle shows a confrontation in Moscow between a young female protester and an elderly woman who praises the era of Joseph Stalin. The older woman argues that "freedom" is a destructive concept and that Russia needs a strong ruler to kick everyone's butt and provide stability. This exchange highlights a generational divide in Russia regarding the legacy of the Soviet Union and current support for Vladimir Putin.

1:19:24 This is what people like, well, comic strip blogger, you know, he believes that this is going to happen. He says, this is going to happen, you can't stop it, it's AI singularity and it's all going to end. This is just how it goes. It's... They can't even get rid of the African population, they've been trying to do that since the 60s. Yeah. So I am... These guys are losers. I'm so pumped about the future. I love the you you you mentally swipe your cursor left. I wish I had that on this gear Yeah, well didn't fail again. That's one good thing. Well, let's that brings me to a This thing about productivity, but what was so good that I might being proud I feel good cuz I'm productive Yes, I want to I want to bring this clip up. This was a

1:20:16 This was, I pulled this from the live stream from Deutsche Welle. You have been busy. Oh yeah. And so the Deutsche Welle live stream which is available on, it's just, it's almost like, you remember Netly or Nutly or Rupply or whatever it is that they have on RT that you show? Nutly, Rupply, yes. Nutly. Rupply. It's just a bunch, it's just no video, just video of whatever. And then they, once in a while they bring in some audio. So, in this case, they had...this was a...I don't know how long this went on for. I saw...I was kind of watching in the background for at least an hour and it was just slamming Russia. It was like a propaganda piece making it obvious that Russia screwed up. And Deutsche Welle is pushing this narrative. Sure.

1:21:06 They had these two different scenes and one of them I recorded and it was a woman protester standing outside of a metro station in Moscow. And I call it a metro station because it had an M on it just like it was in Paris, but it was Russia. And she's holding this sign showing one of, I think it's her boyfriend got imprisoned for mistweeting something about. Oh no, disinformation. He's in jail right now. She's a cute woman and she's holding up this sign. Babushka, an old Russian woman comes up to her and first asks her what's going on and then she starts demeaning her for being you know protesting or being being anything but you know not being pro-Russia.

1:21:48 Well, worse than that. Listen to this. This is a friend. He's under house arrest for posting videos on YouTube. What kind of videos? Instructional videos. He is a libertarian and explains what libertarianism is. It's one of the political movements. Repatriotism? Libertarianism. It is similar to liberalism, only with a higher degree of freedom. To hell with freedom! Like in Stalin's time. But we had a life back then. You've gone crazy with your freedom. We had a life after the war. Get it?

1:22:24 1968. 23 years after the war we got the keys and moved into an apartment with a gas stove and everything. Now there's millions, but you can't get a stove. Freedom. You don't need freedom. You need to start businesses, give people jobs and not punish the people who work for it. Freedom is what they want. I wish Stalin was here to kick everyone's butt. Yeah, yeah, the good old days. That's Russia. The good old days. I think they have to population in Russia feels that way. It's possible. And they're all super supportive of Putin. I think everything we've been told about what's going on. Yeah, the this was a young woman and an old woman.

1:23:15 clashing and the young woman was tagging the camera and kind of chuckling to herself as this woman was ranting but you could I don't think it's a minority that thinks that that thinks Stalin should still be running things the country's historically always had a strong ruler yes Putin fits right into the picture, you know, even though he's this Ukraine. Yeah, I know he's dying of cancer and Parkinson's. Yeah, yeah, right other stuff. He's definitely done. There's no evidence. I want to go to Russia a little bit later on. I just want to stick for a moment with the singularity as

Big Tech Layoffs, AI Priorities, Pandemic Hiring Boom

The tech industry is undergoing a massive wave of layoffs, with Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta cutting tens of thousands of jobs. Executives attribute the cuts to a post-pandemic correction and a shift in focus toward artificial intelligence. Analysts suggest these companies are shedding staff hired during a period of "free money" and government incentives that have now expired.

microsoft· amazon· meta· google· layoffs· artificial intelligence

1:23:55 Well, there's this kind of sub-narrative going on about what's happening in Silicon Valley. I have two clips here. just the latest tech company to slash its workforce. Big tech went on an aggressive hiring boom during the pandemic. Some of the world's wealthiest companies added tens of thousands to the payroll. But cuts are now sweeping the industry. Microsoft this week saying it would lay off 10,000. Amazon shedding as many as 18,000. And Facebook parent Meta cutting 11,000, 13% of its workforce.

1:24:33 Twitter, Salesforce and Wayfair also eliminating jobs. The tech sector losing more than 70,000 in the past year. Did these companies fail to plan for uncertain economic conditions? They built their businesses to basically to support pandemic era operations. And then suddenly, when that spending is drawn back, when it's not there anymore, they've now got a different type of organization. Is this a new reality going forward? Companies are going to be a little bit tighter, a bit more controlled. And then maybe as we move out through 2024, we might see them grow again.

1:25:11 You can call it whatever you want, but that's what happened. They fired 18,000 people. It's really over the course of 2022 120,000 people who've been fired. Meta, Amazon, Netflix, Google, etc., Wayfair. We had this clip similar clip on the last show. Well here's another one. To the index and to the economy tonight a massive new round of layoffs in the tech industry. Google tonight announcing plans to cut more than 12,000 jobs. The CEO emailing the staff saying the company needs to focus on priorities including artificial intelligence.

1:25:48 Earlier this week, Microsoft saying it would be laying off 10,000 of its employees after both companies made significant hires during the pandemic. So there's a little bit of this, oh, AI, it's AI that's doing that, which it isn't. Well, they slipped out of this new. Now, it seems to me you'd need more people. For AI. AI is non-trivial. Yeah. You need more people, not less people. It's also bullshit. How about that? I'm just gonna say it. Your AI is bullshit. Well, then you can lay off everybody. Yeah. And use AI as an excuse. That's what you do. Well, that's what I'm seeing here. I think this is starting to happen. Well, my point was already, which is why, you know, why did Microsoft or Google hire more people during the pandemic

1:26:32 I mean it makes sense for Amazon and they left Amazon out of these stories because they had free money that's why. Yeah, free money. And so the free money is over. The free money is over. It's over. Yeah, probably. Probably didn't they get all kinds of incentives for hiring people during the pandemic? Yeah, you had to pay people extra money because there's some whatever reason you because you kept them on you you kept them on so we're gonna give you money. Well, you were not giving you any more money. So be okay. They're fired. Yeah. Yeah, that's what it is. There was a very funny article in the verge the verge and this kind of goes along with this story and

CHAPTER 23 / 44 Discussion

Podcast Creation Decline, Spotify, Anchor Platform

New podcast creation has reportedly dropped by 80% since 2020, according to data published in The Verge. Much of the previous surge was attributed to Spotify's Anchor platform, which allowed users to easily create low-quality or "test" episodes. The decline is also linked to the end of "free money" for ESG-focused content and a realization that podcast discovery remains a significant hurdle for new creators.

spotify· anchor· podcasting· ariel shapiro· the verge

1:27:21 New podcast creation has fallen off a cliff. Ooh But now wait to wait before you I'm unless you finish that but I'm gonna say to the audience or the listeners Or the producers whoever it is producers We have an expert here who can give us real numbers And we're gonna ask him after this We actually discussed this what these numbers are. Okay, you may continue I Didn't do it but okay if you since you expose yourself Subhead here the number of new shows that debuted in 2022 was down 80% since 2020 this is correct, but To 2 million shows. I'm just gonna I'm gonna cut to the chase and then I'll get to the punchline chase first

1:28:13 The incredible increase in shows during the pandemic was mainly because of Anchor. Anchor is a podcast host which was purchased by Spotify and they have a free system. You just go on there and I think they even have an app and now we have delisted almost 2 million podcasts from Anchor because they have One episode two seconds long of someone going test And you have to understand that Spotify says, oh, we have over 5 million podcasts. Well, and whereas the podcast, podcastindex.org has 4.2 million, and we do a lot of cleanup, and we have a lot of very smart people, smarter than that brainwave lady, who are, you know, come up with algorithms so we can test this. And it really is, it's horseshit.

1:29:16 So people were doing this during the pandemic. Oh, I'm gonna start a podcast! And it literally is poop. We have a couple of those. Poop. It's just, there's nothing. But Spotify used that to prop up their numbers. And like, oh no, we're knocking it out of the park. I would say this is investment fraud. I agree. We're knocking it out of the park. Anyway, so let's continue with this article written by, who wrote this? Ariel Shapiro. I hope you all had a great weekend. We got some big hot pod summit updates for y'all. Okay, so we'll move on. This year we're trying to, no, where is it? Okay, people are launching way, way fewer podcasts. One thing I keep hearing over and over is that it's so much harder to launch a podcast now than it was say three or four years ago. And that is usually coming from people at established studios with at least some marketing insight. Okay, let me debunk that right away.

1:30:14 The reason it's harder to start a podcast now from these people at established studios is because the free money is over No longer do we have Exxon creating BIPOC funds for BIPOC content producers for podcasts No longer do we have the big The big checkbox for any kind of ESG podcast that all of these big companies like to drop a hundred to a hundred thousand dollars per episode on. No, that has now gone back to a max of five thousand dollars per episode. So yeah, people aren't creating podcasts anymore. Fewer podcasts were created in 2022 than in the two years prior.

1:30:56 Even so, the margin is shocking! The number of new shows created dropped by nearly 80 percent! Now, some of that can be attributed to the pandemic. Podcast creation peaked in 2020 when people truly had nothing better to do. That pretty much summarizes podcasting. I watch the porn, I'm jerking off, what am I gonna do now? I know! I'm gonna start a podcast! Now here's the best line of this article. Creators, which I hate as a term by the way. Creators. Do you like this term? Creators?

1:31:34 Well, there's actually two versions of it. One is creators and the other one is creatives. No, this is creators. No, this is a big thing. You're not a YouTuber, you're a creator. You're not a podcaster, you're a creator. I create and I do not like that term. It irks me, I can't help it. What if somebody else likes the term? Well, let's read on. Creators seem to recognize that until podcast discovery improves, launching a podcast may be a losing proposition. The system seemingly cannot effectively handle the number of podcasts that already exist. What is that? What system? I kind of agree with her. What system?

CHAPTER 24 / 44 Discussion

Podcast Discovery, Word of Mouth, Joe Rogan Effect

Unlike YouTube, podcasting lacks a centralized algorithm for discovery, making word-of-mouth and guest appearances on established shows the primary drivers of growth. The "Joe Rogan effect" is cited as a major catalyst for independent shows, often increasing their audience by a third after a single appearance. Successful long-term podcasts rely on consistent quality and direct audience support rather than platform-driven marketing.

podcast discovery· joe rogan· marketing· audience growth· decentralization

1:32:29 Well, that's the issue. When she refers... I'm just taking her side. Okay. The system she's referring to is the system of marketing and discovery. In other words, there's no way of figuring out... If I want to find a podcast that specializes in weed whackers and reviewing every new weed whacker that comes out, I would have no... I would be no way of me finding this podcast. Now, this is a big point of contention. People always, for 20 years now,

1:33:08 Well, we need to improve discovery for podcasts. It's decentralized. Apple tried it. Spotify tried it. There is no discovery mechanism. YouTube has algorithms. They own the platform so they know what people like you are watching. That doesn't exist in podcasting. It never has. It probably never will. And how did we become a podcast that is here for over 1,500 episodes for 15 years? We're still doing it. We still kind of like each other. We have families. We have homes. We don't have Joe Rogan money, but we're doing okay. Why? Was that because of some magical discovery process that we used?

1:33:49 Well, a couple of things. We both know how to sell things and we both had a minimum audience each that we brought to the table from the get-go. If you start with an audience, you can build an audience and the rest of it was word of mouth. Thank you. It's really word of mouth. Wait, wait, the best part and the real kicker, the kicker, the big kicker is a super high quality product. Exactly. Thank you. That's all. Have have an outstanding product and everything else will take care of itself. We have grown consistently Every year year over year three to five percent in audience and everything. Would you say that's that's a fair number?

1:34:34 I think in audience, I think in revenue it's gone, it peaked during COVID. Oh, well in revenue it peaked during COVID, but just our growth in general. Yeah, we pick up, we lose people, we lose people, and we usually pick up, I think we probably pick up 1.5 people for every one person we lose. I would say the number one mechanism for discovery for podcasting is going on other podcasts. That's your discovery mechanism. That's how it works You sent me some some Dallas based podcast network Overnight, whatever I saw it this morning never heard of them But they could be doing just fine because you don't need to be the huge behemoth You just need to have people who support you for an outstanding product or something that enough people find outstanding I couldn't find one on there, but okay

Richard Edelman, Advertising Censorship, Disinformation Oxygen

Richard Edelman, CEO of Edelman PR, stated at Davos that businesses must deprive platforms that spread "disinformation" of "oxygen" by pulling advertising dollars. He praised the boycott of Twitter as a necessary step in forcing platforms to align with societal impacts. Critics argue that this approach equates advertising with censorship, as marketing budgets are used to suppress dissenting viewpoints.

richard edelman· davos· advertising· censorship· disinformation

1:35:34 Oh, you're supposed to say, but okay, go ahead. Most of these networks I very rarely find maybe there's one carrying the whole load. It was Joe Rogan that catapulted us into a much larger audience. Would you agree? The first appearance. I think it jacked us up by a good third. Yeah, I would agree with that. I would agree. Now, the other thing is, and then I can end this, Advertising doesn't work in podcasts. It just, I mean, yeah, it works if you have a sponsor, if you have kind of like the brides magazines where you're selling brides dresses. It's not effective, the whole programmatic advertising, oh yeah, don't worry about it, you just do your show, just grow your show and the ads will appear, it's gonna be great. No, because podcasts are not brand safe or suitable.

1:36:34 Good podcasts. No podcast. No podcast is ever going to be brand safe or suitable. I think the two of us could do a brand safe podcast. It would be the most boring shit on earth. I didn't say it was gonna be any good I'm just telling you we can do it. You said no podcast I disagree with that and just to let you know how the Pat how the advertising industry thinks about platforms such as Twitter and Facebook and podcasting Anything they actively actively combat you with their money. I

1:37:12 Which is pure censorship. Advertising always equals censorship. Gonna go back to WEF for a second and Davos. This is Richard Edelman, the CEO of Edelman Interactive or PR, I don't know which one. Huge advertising and marketing agency. And here's how cavalier he is about what he does with his clients' money. So I think the first thing that, because I mostly work with business, that business needs to do is deprive platforms that spread disinformation of oxygen. Stop advertising. Pull your promotion money. Make sure that they understand that they have a consequential impact on society. And the boycott of Twitter for several months has had a modest, modest impact, but I think

1:38:04 The Facebook one failed. But the necessity of getting it right in the platforms that are probably primary source information for a third to 40% of people is urgent. It's urgent! We have to save the world of disinformation. This is the problem. This is why it doesn't work. Would you say? Well, that's a dickish thing for him to come out and say. How about a dickish thing for him to do? It's a dickish thing to do, not just to say, but to do. Yeah, to do. But that's Edelman. He's always been kind of this way. You know him? I met him.

1:38:54 His name happens to be Richard, so it's interesting you call him a dickish thing. That's kind of a... I like that. Anyway, so we don't have any advertising. It doesn't work for us. It never will, never has. We just go on the slow train all the way to the end station. We'll be here spitting in the microphone when we keel over. Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to thank him for his courage, the man who put the C in creators. Please say hello to my friend on the other end, ladies and gentlemen, Mr. John C. Well in the morning you mr. Adam Curry also in the morning all ships at sea boots on the ground In the morning to the trolls in the troll room we've been very patient since we had quite a few false starts this morning we do this show live most of you know that and we had some technical difficulties all is The band-aids are holding so we're not quite sure exactly what I did to solve it, but the band-aids are holding That's good

CHAPTER 26 / 44 Discussion

No Agenda Social, Mastodon, Community Moderation

No Agenda Social, a limited Mastodon instance, continues to operate as a managed community for podcast listeners. The hosts discuss the challenges of moderation, including the decision to limit users who exclusively post screenshots from Twitter without links. The platform aims to remain a manageable alternative to mainstream social media, funded by the community rather than advertising.

mastodon· no agenda social· social media· moderation· community

1:39:49 and they hang out in the troll room. They are alerted by the bat signal which you do just before we start. You can get that bat signal on Podverse. Also I think the new, we have a new app that is doing that, Podcast Addict. They also have a bat signal so when we start the show we send out the signal you get an alert on the very same app you use to listen to podcasts and you click on it it dumps you right into the troll room with the live stream which is 24-7 and that's where these trolls come from. Let's see did it work do we get anybody here? 2102 2100 what's that? I said it's possible. It's a good or not for a Sunday. No, it's possible. Sundays usually should be 2300. No, it's reasonable. I think I figured out what happened with the equipment there and finally why it's working so well. Okay. You let it warm up.

1:40:48 People should know that when you get anything, let it warm up, good 10 minutes. Yeah, that's just a tip for all you creators out there. Let it warm up. Not only can you follow us live in the troll room but you can also literally follow us in the digital sense on noagendasocial.com. Noagendasocial.com is a limited Mastodon instance, we've had it since 2017. We have maximum 10,000 slots in there. We want to keep it manageable. It's quite a lot of Effort to keep a largest instance like ours running There's real cost to it which right now Aaron er just refuses to to take any value for value and he's loving doing it So so far so good, but he may at a certain point ask people to me just say hey, you know what?

1:41:45 I'm out of here. You could do that too. Exactly. And I actually... There you go. It's gone. I kicked someone off again. I limited someone again. I'm getting pretty good at it. Oh, you kicked another one? I didn't kick him off. Oh, kick him off. Don't even bother with this in-between stuff. I'm a little sick of people posting nothing but screenshots of Twitter. Is that something... without a link, by the way. Which is like a double violation for me. Well, what if so if they put a screenshot of Twitter and a link to that to the tweet that'd be okay for you better about it Yeah, I feel better about it. But just I hear I have a disagreement I'll I have nothing to do with this platform and I have no say over except I can complain to you I might kick you off if I get sick of you. I'll kick you off. Yeah. Yeah, you would I would but you're Already showing signs of wimping out

1:42:41 Now, let's go with this thing here. Sometimes you'll see something on Twitter that is so funny, you do a screenshot of it and you just post it because who cares the link to it? I'm with you on that. If your entire account is screenshots of Twitter, that's every post, that's boring. Oh yeah, no, you can't just do that. You have to do other things. So I don't mind if people post memes and all that stuff, that's fine. But just you know and I say hey, and I even said hey man That's kind of one guy that I say half the memes I put in a newsletter come from one or two people on the agenda So if I make a comment remember I have God power on on on the social and smell I have a musk so if if I say hey man don't do that you like yeah, you're triggered by this and

1:43:33 You're gonna get limited right there and there. I'm not getting mad anymore. I'm just like let me just let me just teach you a little less about time. I'm quick to reinstate too though, but I just like now you know I'm just gonna put you in the corner here. Just put you in the corner. This is not a democracy. You don't get to determine what we're doing here. That's me and John. If John says kick someone off, I'll kick him off. I've only had one guy have suggested that about. Did I do anything? No, and that was over a year ago. No. Oh, and I just be decent, okay? Just be decent. A little, you can go off the rails whenever I go off the rails all the time.

1:44:16 But if it's all you're doing is just sitting there posting images from Twitter with no link I'm gonna say something about if you give me lip you're done. I love being that guy I should and I learned this by watching you okay? No, you learned this has always been your style No, it has not. It has not. I would never kick anybody off. I'd never censor anybody but now I'm just sick of it I'm getting old and cranky as I said Now, all of our artists I think are on noagendasocial.com so it's always fun to follow them and how they always pretend, but hey good job I'm so happy for you. You know that they're lying, they're like, oh yeah my art was so much better. And we like to highlight the artist who created the artwork that we chose for the album art.

CHAPTER 27 / 44 Discussion

No Agenda Art, Escher-esque Design, Mountain J

The podcast selected a modern, Escher-esque piece by artist Mountain J for its latest album art, chosen from the No Agenda Art Generator. The selection process involves evaluating community-submitted works that range from political satire to abstract geometry. The hosts highlight the difference between artistic creation and the curation required to find a piece that resonates with the show's themes.

album art· mountain j· escher· graphic design· community art

1:45:09 Which is very unique to no agenda. There are very few podcasts who have Creators that can do this because we have such a huge community of creators and creatives We are able to choose from quite a quite a selection every single time from no agenda art generator comm and we selected a rather modern piece from Mountain J and which was kind of like an Escher-esque I'd say type of piece. It was a bit of a Hail Mary. I like the Escher-esque. It was a bit of a Hail Mary because the one that I wanted you really hated. Which one was that? You didn't want the, what I thought was, and I think it was a Mike Riley, you didn't like the skulls which I thought was just a fantastic piece. Oh yeah, I reject skulls, worms,

1:46:04 Blood and guts anything that is like offensive to the eye, but it wasn't offensive It was a takeoff of appetite for destruction of Guns and Roses album. No, that's what it is Oh, it has some old music references. So you had to go for it. No. No, I didn't have to go for it I just liked it I thought it was good and and I used it as the as the bat signal art and people loved that Yeah good No, it wasn't gonna happen Now, then again, that's probably why you rejected my idea of doing what I liked the most, which was the polar bears. The one with the yellow sunglasses. Yeah, but it was boring.

1:46:43 I thought it was just cute. Yeah, but... So we were coming in, well I think the point is that we were coming from different, and we couldn't come up with any consensus. No. And this piece was staring us right in the face, which was this crazy piece that we picked. Yeah. And then the more you look at it, Mon J's... The more you see, the more you see, the more you see. The more you look at, the more you say, this is a tremendously modern, beautiful piece. I agree, I agree. We both thought that was really... Nice, it was a lot of weird duds in here for some reason. Again, I'm looking at that no agenda appetite for deconstruction. Wow, so smart, so good, so well done. That's something for the shop. I'd wear that t-shirt. Which one? The skulls. Oh, yeah, once you get a safe shop, make a t-shirt for Adam and send it to him.

1:47:36 I indeed see the the NTD art and people are making fun of you if you haven't seen this know what you know art generator comm there's so many pieces it was a lot of John Kerry things what's funny is the John Kerry piece with it with the horrible hand that I guess is maybe from From looks like 80 T hand or whatever Pushing against the John Kerry said is what roundy predicted was gonna be the pick the piece we picked when it wasn't even in consideration really Yeah, huh it shows you that there's a lot of difference between an artist and someone who chooses art Yes a huge difference

1:48:20 and artists brains are not wired like normal people's and so... I would say that briefly at the Parker Pauly V for V cufflinks the red... Oh yes yeah well I also like the I think the gas station you like the gas station the the gas pump I like the empty gas pump yeah I did like that I did there was the badge because I got a badge now I have a badge Union Pacific badge somebody sent me and You actually have one of those badges. I don't that's not what the badge looks like the true Union Pacific badge I'll take a picture of it and put it in a newsletter. I'm just seeing this piece Sir thirsty eggs, this is a new one. I think Eggs are the new fentanyl And and the reason I bring that up is yesterday

CHAPTER 28 / 44 Discussion

Homesteading, Blue Eggs, Value for Value

A pair of producers known as Sir Lastrow and Melissa gifted the hosts two and a half dozen eggs from their homestead, including rare blue eggs from Araucana chickens. The gift is presented as an example of the "value for value" model, where listeners contribute resources or expertise to support the show. The rising cost of eggs has led to them being jokingly referred to as "the new caviar."

homesteading· eggs· value for value· san antonio· chickens

1:49:17 We had producers come through town, Paul and Melissa, he's known as Sir Lastrow, Black Knight of the Ninjas, and their family, their children, they have like 18 children, beautiful children, lovely children, and their homesteaders, and they brought us two and a half dozen of their own eggs from their own chickens. Did you tell them about the download too many eggs dot com? We talked about that extensively of course I would immediately promote that. Now everybody who knows about this book is goes nuts. People love the book in fact Tina has some questions she wants to ask the author. The author is available for questions on Fridays after three.

1:50:02 And they included in here two blue eggs, which I'd never seen before. Blue eggs are usually aracanas. Easter chickens, he said. Arecanas? I don't know what that may be. Arecanas is an egg, it's a blue egg. There's other chickens that lay blue eggs. There's chickens that lay black eggs and dark brown, light brown, spottled. There's a bunch of different egg colors. But the blue egg typically is the egg you can trust, and this could be folklore or myth, but it's the egg you can trust to eat raw. Oh, blue eggs, it's the egg you can trust. You can eat that well you're gonna make a milkshake or something who you would you know or a smoothie you want to throw an egg into it you want to find a blue egg I can I can hear Tina gagging already. It's funny Really have you nobody's ever had a like an egg in their beer or egg milkshake sure, but not my wife

1:50:56 No, she's finally... She's from the Midwest, I heard? No, she has ovumphobia, but she's gotten over that. She can eat hard-boiled eggs. So I could throw an egg into a milkshake and if I didn't tell her... She wouldn't know. Because you can't tell, it's in there. No, she wouldn't know. But, you know, that would be a gross violation of your relationship with her. That would break the trust. I've never done that kind of thing before, so big deal. Anyway, as we're walking back to the car over Main Street Fredericksburg, Here's what people said those people are carrying gold We had the had the egg carton bucket eggs, but just the egg cartons like oh careful now those people have gold It's a eggs man. It's it's it's a new caviar

1:51:43 Thank you very much Mountain J for your outstanding work. We appreciate it. We appreciate the work of all of the artists. From one of those same modern podcast apps which you can get at newpodcastapps.com, you can see a lot of these pieces of art flipping by in the chapters, which Dreb Scott always does for us. It's Podcasting 2.0. You should check it out. It's cool. It's new. It's new. There is a lot of innovation, just not with the big companies. It's all part of our value for value. The eggs were also of course a value for value. They would not take any anything in return. They said no, no thank you. This is just for the fabulous fabulous shows you do and everything. It's highly appreciated. You have to send me half the eggs. I do. I do. Well, they actually live near San Antonio. So if you come visit next time you're here we'll go down and we'll get you some eggs.

Executive Producer Credits, Binary Knight, Donation Raffle

The show introduced a "Binary Knight" donation level of $1,000.01, representing the number 33 in binary code. This new tier faced some community pushback for its perceived proximity to modern gender identity terminology. Additionally, a "Goat Karma" meetup in Minnesota held a raffle to credit a winner as an executive producer, demonstrating localized community fundraising efforts.

executive producer· donation· binary· raffle· goat karma

1:52:36 Now we're going to thank the executive and associate executive producers for this episode 1523. These are the people who came in with bigger donations which is exactly how it works in Hollywood except here you get a credit right away. It's a forever credit. It's a credit you can register anywhere that credits are recognized and accepted and we We will vouch for your credit if anyone ever questions you and throughout the years we've had times when we actually had to vouch. Yes, indeed. This person was an executive producer on our show and we highly appreciate it. It was great work. We'd have them work for us again. Anytime. And we kick it off with a switcheroo. Right off the top here, Sir CB from Harris, Minnesota, $333.33. This donation is from the Goat Karma Producers Local No. 33 Meetup Producer Credit Raffle.

1:53:29 This is a I think a very good mmm recall this is a good trend that these meetups and the meetups are getting big. I mean, we have a couple of meetup reports today, which I mean, there's a lot of people going to these meetups and it's regular. They have a lot of fun. So they do these raffles where people donate for the show and the executive producer credit goes to their winner for the Goat Karma Producers Local Number 33 Meetup, Anonymous Jamie. And he asked for some cheap, sweet Chinese de-douching. Do we have a Chinese de-douching? No, we don't. It's something we don't have. You've been de-douched. We had an awesome turn out on Friday with a total of 20 nights. Dames and producers, our hosts were very interested and a few were hitting the mouth.

1:54:24 No agenda meetups a fantastic way to spend an evening and meet like-minded people. Big bonus, one of our producers raises cattle so everyone got his info for some Klaus Schwab resistant beef. Get it now before it's priced out of the market. Thanks again for all you do. Keep up the good work. Sir CB, Knight of the Black Thumbnails, 73s. He of course is also a ham so we say yay and we'll give those good people a service goat karma. Thank you very much. You've got karma. Well that brings us to Sir CB who came in from Minnesota. No that's the one we just did. Oh I'm sorry what am I thinking? Okay Zadock Brown III in Makawao, Hawaii. He came in with 333.33 and there's no note from him so I'm gonna give him a double up karma.

1:55:15 You've got karma. And while we're there, let's go to Amy Sullivan. I can't find anything from her either. She's in Edmonds, Washington or Washington as it might be pronounced. 333. So she gets a double karma as well. You've got karma. And that brings us to Matthew Parr in Wilmington, North Carolina where I actually get to read something. Yes. He came in with 333 and I should mention, please, that we did have a new donation level which is the binary night which is $1,000.01 because 1 0 0 0 0 1 equals 33. We got big pushback I saw on Knowledge into Social about that.

1:56:04 What was the pushback? It's too close to LGBTQ man. It's a binary thing. We don't like it. I agree. Well, apparently nobody liked it because we got nothing. Wait, wait, wait, wait. We got a note about this. Hold on a second. Let me find this. Sir, Sir Face Tension. He says, Sir, face tension here. Early in the 900s episodes, a producer brought up the 1000.01 knighthood donation that represents 33 in binary. Huh? And the No Agenda show cleans up a whole cent when you have to chip in 1k versus 999.99. As a knight of the bank transfer, may I request the status of binary knight at no cost to the show? I don't think it works that way.

1:56:55 But it's up. Well, I think what he's saying is you donate a thousand dollars and then you pitch in the penny. No, that's that's Or there's no more no longer maybe saying this no longer will 999.99 be accepted. There you go. That's it. I'll pitch in well No, because everybody will be a binary night. You have to donate with the penny. Oh That would be my idea and some people might not want to be a which is showing today Maybe nobody wants to be a binary night because it does impinge on I'm a binary teacher. I'm binary Yeah, non binary makes it non-binary. Okay. Well, then that's binary which means you're normal All right, well great idea John successful promotion

1:57:45 Well, you know, it's always like throwing something against the wall. Meanwhile, let's get back to Matthew Parr and we'll meet in North Carolina. All right, Matthew, yes. First time donation, please dedouche. You've been dedouched. Thank you for quickly becoming my main source for current news on my favorite podcast, Keep Pounding and remember... Okay. And remember to never turn your back on the wolf pack. Please call out Will and Jake Ramsey for being douchebags. I'll do one more for him. Douchebags. Please send goat karma, something from Trump and everyone will need a bitcoin. They did dumps. They call them dumps. Big massive dumps. They're saying that all hell is gonna break loose and you're gonna need a bitcoin.

Paxlovid Complications, Medical Coma, Patient Story

A donor from Savannah, Georgia, shared a story of a friend who was placed in a medically induced coma after taking Paxlovid for COVID-19. The patient reportedly suffered severe adverse reactions within 12 hours of the first dose, requiring a 22-day hospital stay to stabilize. Medical staff allegedly informed the patient that such reactions to the drug regimen are becoming a known occurrence in clinical settings.

paxlovid· covid-19· icu· medical coma· savannah

1:58:36 You've got... Karma. Whit Campbell, Savannah, Georgia. This is our first associate executive producer. We are still the list is short man short list but short. Do you want to do the full thing the full segment all in one go? Yeah, last time is it sure short. We don't have to split up these donation segments, but there's a lot more show coming after this shorter than the last show so there's no problem in the morning Adam and John longtime douchebag since Adams first appearance on JRE guess what I'm a Tuesday. I'm going for my fifth time. That's a record.

1:59:13 Well for me it is. Now there's plenty of people who... Yeah, it's a record for you, that's what I meant. Yes, a fifth time record. I was finally compelled to donate today after a good friend of mine was released from the hospital. He was diagnosed with the VID-20 two days ago and was immediately prescribed Paxlovid or Paxlovid by his doctor to quote cure the symptoms. Within 12 hours he called the doctor and described his new symptoms. The doc told him to call an ambulance, go straight to the ER. Oh man! Once he arrived at the emergency room and told him what was going on, what medication he'd received, he was bumped to the front of the line and taken straight back. Within six hours, he was in a medically induced coma in the ICU where he remained for eight days. Holy crap!

1:59:58 Once he was brought out of the coma, he stayed in the hospital for another 14 days to keep him stable and bring him back up to speed via IV infusions and a plethora of drugs. He was told this is a rather normal occurrence and the regimen of drugs they give to counter the Pax Lovid usually avoids severe cases such as his. I wish I knew more specifics, but I was blown away by the whole story in general. We all hear stories like this, but when it happens to you or someone you know well, shit gets real! Thanks for everything you do. Keep exposing the truth. Sorry for the long note. Jingles. Uh, oh, de-douche it. You've been de-douched. And an R2-D2 karma. Love and lit from Savannah, Georgia, from WITC. You've got karma. Wow. That's a horrible story.

2:00:52 It's right up there. It's bad. Pax Lovi- Anonymous in Biloxi, Mississippi is super anonymous with $250 and no note, which means double karma for Anonymous. You've got... karma. Sir Nick of the Black Forest from St. Cirque, Switzerland. Oh. Dear John and Adam, keep up the great work. Can I please request a shot of Jobs Karma from my lovely wife Natalia? Jobs, jobs, jobs and jobs. Let's vote for jobs! You've got karma. Okay, Ricky Freckleton, Lakelands, Australia. 230. Now is that, do you think that's dollar-a-doos?

Canadian Justy Bucks, Team Reality, Podcast Discovery

A Canadian donor contributed "genuine American petrodollars" rather than "Justy bucks" to claim a premium knighthood, mocking the current state of Canadian currency and leadership. Another listener noted they discovered the show through appearances on Joe Rogan's podcast, reinforcing the idea that cross-promotion between independent creators is the most effective discovery mechanism in the medium.

2:01:43 Well, because 230... No, no, I don't know. I don't think so. No, okay, good. Well, you're Associate Executive Producer, no note, so you get a double up karma as well. You've got... karma. Meanwhile, Sir 23, Knight of the Electric Sea in Buxton, Great Britain, was pleasantly... with 22323, I was pleasantly surprised to hear in the donation section Last year that there are now other producers in my small hometown of Buxton Derbyshire Karma, please for them and that's Gregory and Jill Meetup karma. Thank you for your courage Second now we have another blue one here. What is this? This is Sandy McMahon

2:02:37 from Kootenay Valley, British Columbia. Did I say that right? Let me see. No. Oh, it's Sandy Mikman. There we go. Mikman with the pronunciation guide. Kootenay Valley, British Columbia, Candanavia. Now that you're done blowing discount night hoods out the door, I'm here to claim a premium 2023 night hood. I have earned this lofty status with no discounts and only genuine American petrodollars, not Canadian justy bucks. Justy bucks, I like that one. So now I can smugly gloat to other Canadian knights like an American openly carrying his automatic pistol. I would like to be named Sir Knight who says, Knee. That's N-I. And will enjoy a bowl of blunts and your swampiest oldest scotch at the round table. I don't know.

2:03:27 If blunts and scotch is a good combo. I think, not to mention, I know cigars work with scotch. Yeah, but, well, a blunt is a cigar, it's just spiked. Thanks for the house buying karma last time. It worked too. Lastly, please add my Australian daughter, Amelia Lucas, to the birthday list. She turns 30 on the 22nd. This is for today, hence all the twos. Oh yes, I forgot to mention, RoaDux222.22. and is now pregnant with her second human resource. Woo-hoo! I'm wishing her a great year ahead from Sandy Mc... Mc... Let me do it right now. Sandy... McMahon. McMahon. McMahon. And... Oh, do you want some jingles? Oh, goodness. I'm trying to cut down on those. Let me see. You could eliminate the jingles on this. We probably... Yeah, we probably... When it's so short like this, we probably should.

I think that's how you're supposed to pronounce it. Team Reality, I'm praying for you. You're very appreciated. I heard about No Agenda back again on Rogan and now always listen. Adam's going to be on Rogan again next week. Heard about No Agenda. So, hello, this is your discovery mechanism. That's how it works. It's not for everybody, you know. Not everyone should do a podcast.

CHAPTER 32 / 44 Discussion

Producer Donations, Small Business Support, Global Contributions

A diverse group of producers from locations such as Mantee, Utah, and Vancouver, Washington, contributed to the show's latest episode. These donors include small business owners like those from Top Notch Heating and Air, who support the show's independent model. The hosts acknowledge that while January is typically a slow month for donations, the global community continues to sustain the program.

Meetup Reports, North Idaho Sanity Brigade, Community Building

Listeners held several meetups across the country, including gatherings in Austin, Texas, and a "Sanity Brigade" meeting in North Idaho. These events allow "No Agenda" producers to meet in person, share resources, and discuss topics outside of the mainstream narrative. The hosts encourage listeners to start their own local chapters to find like-minded individuals in their communities.

CIA Director William Burns, Kyiv Visit, 2014 Maidan Parallel

CIA Director William Burns made a secret trip to Kyiv to meet with President Zelensky and Ukrainian intelligence officials. Analysts draw parallels to 2014, when then-CIA Director John Brennan visited Ukraine shortly before the Maidan revolution and the subsequent government collapse. The presence of the CIA director on the ground is viewed as a "red alert" signal that significant military or political shifts are imminent.

william burns· cia· kyiv· zelensky· maidan· 2014

2:20:10 It's like a party. Well, we can cut it short. That's where I know we're not gonna cut anything short. Yeah, I'm gonna cut anything short What do you got for isos? That's a lot of damage. That's all I got horrible. What? Yeah, exactly You know, I'm not gonna say anything but you've dropped the ball on this deal. No, what do you mean? I've had some really good ones. Okay, how about I have to You're not gonna say anything we're gonna lie say I dropped the ball and then you say okay, I

2:20:56 Ready? Yeah. Let's go with done. We are not yet done. I like that one. That's a good one. And then thank you. Thank you very much. No, I like we are not yet done. That's a great, that's a great ISO. You know, that's just a great ISO. What can I say? When you have a great ISO. We're not yet done. You have a great ISO. Unfortunately, we kind of have to have to go to Russia and talk about some Russian stuff. Don't you think? Did you think it would? Yeah, I have a bunch of cars too. So I don't you think that old babushka when she goes on and on with your freedom and Stalin would have kicked your butt and all this sounded a lot like Schwarzenegger? No. I think it's some Eastern European thing. Screw your freedom.

2:21:49 Alright, red alert, red alert, red alert, red alert. This happened in 2014, red alert. It comes as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is in Germany meeting with allies to try to provide even more assistance to this fight. And we have learned that CIA Director William Burns traveled to Kiev last week to meet with his Ukrainian intelligence counterparts, as well as President Zelensky to discuss continued U.S. support at this critical juncture in the war. The last time the CIA director went to Ukraine, it ended up poorly. You said this was in 2014?

2:22:36 Yeah, no when 20 when yeah in 2014 when Brennan went to Ukraine the whole government got kicked out They had the whole my Don thing so this is now this is I thought the clip was from 20 no you introduced it peculiarly No, you just weren't listening. I said what this happened in 2014 the same thing red alert This is always a bad sign when the director of CIA. I don't know why he needs to go over there and There's no reason at all. Thank you. I have two clips that I want to get out of the way. I still never can figure out why Brendan was over there. What was he doing? Why did he have to be there? Why didn't they send somebody else? Why does the director have to put himself in that situation? It makes no sense. That means that's because it's bad. Something bad is going to happen.

2:23:24 Why does he have to be there if something bad can't they do this without the guy himself? Literally going literally literally going there. I don't know. I don't know all I know is we we detect trends and that's a trend They take his blood or something and that has part of the part of the whole process Yeah, they have some has to be there. Yeah, they have fresh blood the drink satanic ritual exactly you Sounds like you nailed it Meanwhile all that all the defense ministers of all of the world are at Rammstein Air Base in Germany And they're discussing well, they're discussing Germany being douchebags Western military leaders meeting in Germany have failed to reach agreement on

CHAPTER 36 / 44 Discussion

Leopard 2 Tanks, German Indecision, US Energy Profits

Germany is currently resisting pressure from the US and NATO allies to send Leopard 2 battle tanks to Ukraine. European officials are reportedly frustrated that the US is profiting from the war through increased weapons sales and high energy prices, while Europe bears the economic brunt of the conflict. US defense contractors have seen stocks rise by 38% since the war began, leading to accusations that the conflict is being prolonged for financial gain.

leopard 2· germany· lloyd austin· energy prices· military-industrial complex

2:24:06 on allowing German-made battle tanks to be sent to Ukraine. Going into the talks, Keeve was optimistic that Berlin would give approval for its powerful Leopard 2 tanks to be delivered to the battlefield. But those hopes were dashed after the German defense minister said his country was still weighing the decision. The indecision sparked protests in Berlin and pleas from other countries to provide the weaponry. This there is something really weird going on the Germans don't want to send their leopard tanks there's discord within the within the German Parliament even more yeah, why and I think there's a couple of things going on one the EU is pissed with us the EU is not happy and

2:24:56 In fact, I have a clip here from Turkish radio and television, their international division, TRT, which gives a little bit of an explanation. The war between Ukraine and Russia already has a winner, the USA. And America's finance... We're number one! We're number one! ...profits are causing tensions with its European allies. This is the problem. They are pissed. I think they have to pay us for some of this stuff. There's some financial deal going on that we're unaware of. I think what's happening is they have to give all of their crap like we're doing, all the old crap. The Leopold tanks are not necessarily crap.

2:25:36 and then they have to buy new crap from our guys. We're putting our money not into Ukraine, we're putting our money into the military-industrial complex. Yeah, but we don't build that tank. No, but they're gonna have to buy new tanks from us. I think that's what it's about. The war between Ukraine and Russia already has a winner, the USA. And America's financial profits are causing tensions with its European allies. Nice music. And now I must be very honest, brutally honest with you. Europe isn't strong enough right now. We would be in trouble without the United States. Top European officials are upset with Washington and accuse it of making a fortune from the war. Meanwhile, Europe is struggling with numerous consequences of the war.

2:26:29 So what type of fortune are the Europeans talking about? Since the beginning of 2021, the US has sent nearly 25 billion US dollars in military aid to Ukraine, making it the largest supplier of weapons to the country. Ukraine will eventually have to pay some of that sum back with interest. as the country has contractually agreed to purchase weapons from American defense industry manufacturers. US defense contractors are amongst the biggest winners of this conflict. Their stocks have climbed up by 38% since the beginning of the war. Meanwhile, European countries are being pressured by the US to provide financial aid to Kiev. This can be seen as America's attempt to have some sort of financial guarantee in Ukraine.

2:27:17 Ever since the war began, Europe has been forced to look for other energy suppliers than Russia. The US was kind enough to provide those services, but the price Europeans pay is almost four times higher than what Americans pay for the same fuel. Energy bills increased following Russia's restrictions of gas supplies to Europe. According to Europe's biggest gas and oil companies, higher bills are here to stay. With no end to the conflict in sight, Europeans will continue to be frustrated at the way the US is ignoring the impact of its policies on its European allies. And there you go. You with your yellow and blue flag, your yellow and blue emojis and profile emojis, you are helping the military-industrial complex screw Europe and Ukraine.

CHAPTER 37 / 44 Discussion

Ramstein Air Base Meeting, Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Zelensky

At a meeting of 50 nations at Ramstein Air Base, the US pledged hundreds of Bradley Fighting Vehicles and Stryker personnel carriers to Ukraine, but no Western tanks were approved. President Zelensky remarked that "hundreds of thank yous are not hundreds of tanks," emphasizing the urgent need for heavy armor. The US maintains that M1 Abrams tanks are too difficult for Ukraine to maintain due to their complex jet engines and fuel requirements.

ramstein· bradley fighting vehicle· lloyd austin· zelensky· tanks

2:28:10 Well done. Well done. We're number one. I don't think anybody sees it that way. They don't even know that the fax is a non-healthy product. No, but that... How many people do you think we've saved or created with this show? I think we've saved or created millions. Yeah, I would say... I agree. Maybe a hundred million. I'm not gonna argue with that number. Let's go with the series of clips from PBS on this tank bull crap. And this is Ukraine needs tanks. Ukraine tonight is still battling through a winter of war and still appealing for tanks to help turn the tide against the Russians. The US and dozens of other countries wrestled with that question for more than five hours today at a meeting in Germany. In the end, there was no agreement on providing tanks. They did agree to send hundreds of other armored vehicles, but Ukraine's leaders said they'll keep pressing for the tanks.

2:29:05 Here, have some of these vehicles. These Bradleys. Yay! So, um... It also turns out these tanks are everywhere. These German tanks have been sold to all kinds of countries and these other countries want to give them to Ukraine and we've nixed that too. We're the ones behind nixing it. Of course. No, no, no, no, you can't give it. No, no, no, we got to get rid of these Bradleys. It's got to be our tanks, our stuff. We got to get rid of our stuff. We got to get rid of these Bradleys. No, not our tanks. We don't give more tanks either. Wait, wait, wait, do you think that Lloyd Austin, do you think that he threatened the Germans? You better not be selling those tanks.

2:29:41 Well somebody had to threaten him, let's go to part two. Wait, he said at the US base in Rammstein, Germany? Where we just have a base in your backyard? We are horrible. Well, come on. That's some of us. Well, not us. We're number one. Ukraine will soon receive an unprecedented amount of new weapons systems thanks to a deal made by a group of some 50 nations today. But the weapons do not include the one item that Ukraine calls its priority, Western tanks. Nick Schifrin reports. For Ukraine's Western military support today was... Wait, stop the clip. I love a clip that starts like that. Okay, this clip is loaded with that sort of thing and it's actually I was thinking of pulling it out if I pull it all it'd be a good one minute of sound effects of guns. I agree with you this is the way to do it. Here's my question though. What in that stupid music that the Turks are playing? Right, what what kind of gun is it?

2:30:40 That they start... I don't know. Because it sounds... It's whatever it is on the CBS sound effects album. It sounds like an AK-47. No, that's faster. The weapons do not include the one item that Ukraine calls its priority. Western tanks. Nick Schifrin reports. That's a 50 Cal. That's a 50 Cal. This is your is your that's your ak-47 And here come back to the sound effects for CBS for Ukraine's Western military support today was the best of times and the worst of times First time us will send striker armored personnel carriers. That's an addition to hundreds more Bradley fighting vehicles and

2:31:22 Oh! Faster gun. Dude, we actually sent all that old crap there. They're playing a boop boop boop. Wow. By the way... I do want to just interrupt what he's talking about how in modern army fights and all the rest of it. This is the same gear that we took away from the Marines. Oh, I've gotten so many emails from Marines. who say, we're always getting screwed, we always have to fight for our own stuff, but we never get anything. And remind me, I gotta mention something about that right after this. Territory. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. This is a very, very capable package. Oh, package! If employed properly, it will enable them to be successful. But Ukraine did not get the item it says it most needs, Western tanks.

2:32:23 There are 2,000 German Leopard 2 tanks across Europe. Germany today resisted calls to send its own tanks or allow other countries to re-export their Leopard tanks to Ukraine. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. And I can thank you hundreds of times and it will be absolutely just and fair given all that we have already done. But hundreds of thank you are not hundreds of tanks. Hundreds of what? Hundreds of weapons or something. I thought he said hundreds of thank you. Oh, yeah, maybe he said that. Absolutely, just in fear given all that we have already done but but hundreds of thank you are not hundreds of thanks. Yeah, that's what he said. Hundreds of thank you. Hundreds of thank you, yeah, are not hundreds of thanks. That's pretty cute. Can I just interject real quick about the Marines?

CHAPTER 38 / 44 Discussion

US Marines in Japan, China-Taiwan Conflict, Smedley Butler

The US is planning to station Marines in Japan as a "quick force," a move that some analysts warn could turn Japan into the "Ukraine of Asia." This strategic positioning is viewed as a way to goad China into a conflict over Taiwan, further benefiting the military-industrial complex. The discussion references Smedley Butler's "War is a Racket," arguing that modern military deployments are driven by profit rather than national security.

marines· japan· china· taiwan· smedley butler· war is a racket

2:33:22 because you brought it up. So the Marines, if we go back to the problem with the Marines is they were going to be stationed in Japan and the Marines rightly say, hey you know we're like... By the way, let's get it straight, stationed in Japan as sitting ducks? stationed in Japan where typically they go out, you know, they're quick force, they go out, they do stuff, they source stuff locally if they have to, they bring their satchel of stuff with them, but they're not really meant to be stationed far away, certainly not as sitting ducks. The Global Times, this is what I was looking for. This is what's going... It blew me away, this analysis.

2:34:07 Japan risks turning itself into the Ukraine of Asia if it follows the US strategic line. Think about it. Wouldn't it be perfect? So, we already boosted the military-industrial complex by leaving everything in Afghanistan. Now we're getting rid of all the other crap we still had, boosting the military-industrial complex with this, as long as it takes war in Ukraine, which we completely antagonized and started, and please don't give me the Russia cut off their oil and gas is bullcrap. That's not the historical fact. And now, oh, I got an idea. Let's have China go to war with Japan.

2:34:54 They have some history and you know we'll have the Marines over there and this will be the new Ukraine, the new theater. There's something to it. Okay I think well I... The problem with the thesis, I like the thesis in the long term, but there has to be a conflagration between China and Taiwan first. And so what you do is you make, you set that up, goad them into that, so you get that little skirmish going, and so then the Chinese decide to do, go after Japan to distract us. I mean, the military... I just can't see Japan being a primary target, that's all.

2:35:36 The military-industrial complex are insane. You think? They're insane. Well, I just want people to understand. They're insane. They do not care about life. They don't care about... All they care about is more money for themselves. Money. And it's evil. It is pure evil. Alright. I would recommend again the movie, Pentagon Arm... I think what is it called? Pentagon War. Pentagon Wars. And War is a Racket by Smedley Butler, the book, read that. Yeah, it's just a classic. Yeah, anyway. Okay, onward with clip three. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The Germans are defending themselves against this like a devil protects himself against holy water. The US and Europe are upgrading Soviet era tanks. But the US too has refused to send its own M1 Abrams tanks. US officials say its jet engine and jet fuel make it unsustainable.

CHAPTER 39 / 44 Discussion

M1 Abrams vs Leopard Tanks, Combined Arms Warfare

The debate over sending tanks to Ukraine centers on the logistical differences between the American M1 Abrams and the German Leopard 2. While the Abrams is considered unsurpassed in capability, its reliance on jet fuel and intensive maintenance makes it a difficult "package" for the Ukrainian military to employ. Retired generals argue that the Ukrainians could figure out the fuel requirements if given the opportunity, challenging the Pentagon's "condescending" stance.

2:36:34 Germany's government says they'll only approve tanks as part of what they call a transatlantic lockstep decision. We don't fear anything. We have just responsibility for our population in Germany and in Europe. And we have to balance all the pros and cons before we decide things like that. There's a reason you have tanks. The tank can absorb hits from almost anything. Retired General Ben Hodges is the former commander of the US Army in Europe. The gun it has, the commander's stationed ability to find targets, it's unsurpassed. So whether it's an Abrams or a Leopard, that kind of capability would be needed as part of the spearhead. Point of personal privilege with a question?

2:37:19 Yes, is it a leopard tank or Leopold tank or as this guy said a Leopard? Which one is it? Well, I think it's pronounced. Well, I always thought it was a leopard tank but and when he said Leopold which is like Prince Leopold from the you know, the 1800s or something a man I don't know I think it's Leopold with an L and And that guy's said something completely different. Well, let's look, you know what? Unlike other podcasts... Here we go! And you know while we're at it, we'll do GPT. Can I be of assistance? Yes, chat GPT. Is it a Leopold tank, a Leopard tank, or Leopor... It's...

2:38:06 Is it typing? Yes, it's very slow because the system is overloaded because people are having it create art. It's leopard, L-E-O-P-A-R-T, leopard. But I've heard them say lep-ole. No, I've heard an L in there from time to time. Well, let me go with this. Wikipedia with L-E-O-P-A-R-D 2. The Leopard 2 is a third generation main battle tank originally developed by Krauss-Meffel in the 1970s for the West German army. The tank entered service and it goes on and on. It doesn't have a T. No.

2:38:44 Then why is people saying Leo Pold? I hear him say Pold. Maybe I'm just biased, I'm hearing it. Maybe the guy who was on PBS is full of crap. Yeah, how about that? When the US Army fights, it uses what it calls combined arms, infantry, artillery, but also tanks that the US sells all over the world. US officials say that M1 Abrams tanks are too difficult for Ukraine to maintain. The Abrams has a jet engine, requires a jet fuel. What's your response to that? I think these are a series of statements that are not terribly inaccurate, but it's sort of a condescending attitude. And I would say let the Ukrainians figure it out. They can figure out how to do the fuel.

2:39:27 We do it. Egyptians do it. Saudis do it. It will enable the Ukrainians to be successful. The U.S. says its long-term goal is to give Ukraine the strongest possible position at the negotiating table. It doesn't use the word victory. The problem is the secretary never says what success is. And to me, this has been the missing thing all along. Instead of saying we want to help Ukraine win, We talk around that a little bit. If we don't get that part right here, this war will go on a lot longer than it could. On German tanks, the National Security Council spokesman said today the U.S. was not, quote, arm-twisting Germany, but working inside the coalition to provide Ukraine what it needs. All right. I'm kind of bored of the tanks now.

Colin Kahl, Pentagon Briefing, Trench Warfare

Undersecretary of Defense Colin Kahl briefed the press on the $2.5 billion assistance package designed to help Ukraine transition from trench warfare to maneuver warfare. Kahl emphasized that the goal is to enable Ukraine to liberate territory in places like Bakhmut through "combined arms" training. Critics describe Kahl's briefing as a sales pitch that obscures the true cost and complexity of the ongoing military support.

2:40:13 Well, let's go to some more analysis. Let's go to... this is a... I'm sorry, it's still about tanks. Yeah, it's... We're gonna be hearing about tanks for a month. No, not on this show. After this, no more tank talk. Okay, if you say so. Tank talk! Tank talk! I will avoid the tank talk and I won't wear the tank top. So let's go as BA and analyst one. Welcome to Tank Talk. For more on all this we turn to the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy, Colin Kahl. This guy. Yeah. Joins us from the Pentagon. Colin Kahl, welcome back to the NewsHour. As we heard from the Secretary of Defense earlier and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,

2:40:50 The goal of the weapons packages that the U.S. and allies have announced in the last day are to conduct what the U.S. calls combined arms in order for Ukraine to liberate occupied territory. And yet a key component of combined arms is the tank. So are you tying one of Ukraine's arms behind its back? by not providing those western tanks. Look, I think the main message coming out of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group, which was this meeting of more than four dozen countries at Ramstein Air Base, was one of unity and solidarity in support of Ukraine. This guy is one of those bureaucrats that just talks a good game, probably a total know-nothing.

2:41:33 It works for, of course, Lloyd Austin. Where's the analysis? There's no analysis whatsoever. Here we go. As the lead-in noted, we announced a package in the last 24 hours of $2.5 billion of additional assistance. That brings the total to close to $27 billion since Russia's... Bullshit! Bullshit! We're over $100 billion! Yeah, I know. invasion last February all told allies and partners have provided enough armor for several mechanized brigades so as Secretary of Defense Austin made clear we do believe that we are providing you put me through that agony for that one boing joke really really really really

2:42:20 So as Secretary of Defense Austin made clear, we do believe that we are providing Ukraine the capabilities in combination with the training to allow them to change the dynamic on the battlefield and really move away from the kind of trench style warfare that we're seeing in places like Bakhmut and Solidar to, you know, being better able to combine fire and maneuver. This is a sales guy. He's a sales guy. You think? And what is he talking about? What trench warfare are we talking about? That's the third time you said you think. I did? Yeah, you got it. I'm saying you think? Yeah. Oh, I remember saying it the first time. Yeah. Yeah. Just saying.

Australian Blackhawk Purchase, Airbus Taipan, Pentagon Audit

The Australian government has announced a $2.8 billion purchase of 40 US-made Blackhawk helicopters to replace its "troubled" fleet of European-made Taipan helicopters. This move follows a previous trend of Australia favoring US defense contracts over French alternatives, such as the cancellation of a major submarine deal. The lack of a Pentagon audit for over 25 years is highlighted as a major concern regarding the transparency of these massive international arms deals.

2:43:02 Just saying, that's the second time you said that. I haven't said it at all. Let's go back to tank talk. Brigades, of course, an average of about 3,500 troops each, kind of the building blocks for how the US thinks about how to fight. But didn't we see at the beginning of the war what happens when you don't conduct combined arms? The Russians, after all, did it piecemeal and the Ukrainians picked them apart. So is there still the ability for Ukraine to conduct what the US calls combined arms? What station did this air on? This PBS, this is your PBS, it's a network. So this guy's the questioner, the interviewer is also in the sales business, he's leading this witness. Without these Western tanks. Hold on a second, also this new term has come up which has been pounded, they pound this term on the show, combined arms. Yeah, what does that mean?

2:43:56 It means you got a tank, you got a battery of missiles, you got some Patriots, you got a small airplane, a Piper Cub, a bunch of M-60s. It's like a party favors package. Yeah, combined arms. Combined arms. I have no doubt that the Ukrainians can engage in combined arms warfare, but it's not just about stuff. It's about the training, the collective training in particular we're working alongside. Oh yeah, this is, look, we are, we're building new hardware. We gotta get some more money with the training. Shoot, I'm sorry. I should have known better. Can engage in combined arms warfare, but it's not just about stuff. It's about the training, the collective training in particular. We're working alongside

2:44:43 uh... ukrainian forces to precisely train them on the types of uh... combined arms uh... maneuver warfare uh... that you referenced and and i'll just say on that on that tank's israeli stop maneuver warfare the reason that boeing was in there because the way he said it is is though Now we're not talking about the Fort Sill people. No, we're working in the field. He sounds like we got men on the ground in Ukraine. We do and if it's not our own guys, it's mercenaries. There's mercs everywhere. You know, we saw from the German defense minister today that they're still engaged in ongoing deliberations on the Leopards. We know that there are more than a dozen countries that also have Leopard tanks and they're having conversations with Germany. So I think we just have to let this process play out. Oh, let the sales process play out.

2:45:30 Hey, wouldn't it be great if we got an audit from the Pentagon just to kind of know, you know, what the money... Oh, I'm sorry. We haven't had an audit from the Pentagon in 25 years at least? Forever. Forever? Mm-hmm. Okay, well, then before I wind this up with some fun non-tank talk clips... Let me say the military-industrial complex is is screwing over more more European nations you will recall that Australia suddenly started to buy our ships instead of the French ships remember that fracas. Oh, yeah, that was a good that was a dynamite Gimmick there's another one

2:46:11 Meanwhile, the federal government will unveil plans to secure 40 new Blackhawk helicopters for the Australian army. The $2.8 billion purchase will replace the Defence Force's troubled fleet of 41 European-made Taipan helicopters. Headland capability for the army, Major General Jeremy King says the Blackhawk has a proven track record for reliability backed up by the robust supply chain. So thank you Airbus makes those those French helicopters. Okay, so screwed you there too Frenchies. You know the French wonder these guys are hurt that is they hate us of course. They can't sell for crap get a clue people. They don't know how to sell. That's all it is. Oh goodness. Okay.

2:47:00 Let me just go through three quick clips here just to bring us up to speed on some important things such as the demise of Houston, Texas.

Houston "McStabby," UK Online Safety Bill, Age Verification

A McDonald's in downtown Houston has been nicknamed "McStabby" and "Crack Donalds" due to aggressive panhandling and crime in the area. In the UK, the Online Safety Bill has passed the House of Commons, introducing potential prison time for tech executives who fail to protect children. Critics warn that the bill's real objective is the implementation of mass age verification and digital ID systems for all internet users.

Things became so bad at the burger stop that some nicknamed it Crack Donalds and McStabby. We caught up with some

2:47:38 I like McStabby personally. I love it. Crack Donalds and McStabby. Now France 24. The European news is, this was a local news, the European news is sometimes very good. This is France 24 with a quick review of the UK's online safety bill. Now this is the bill that is supposed to keep us all, that's supposed to keep the British people safe from, I don't know, disinformation and horrible things that can happen to you online while you're on your phone, you know, and maybe someone's bullying you. Let's see what is on deck for the UK people. Well, it's time now for Tech 24 with Peter O'Brien. Hi, Peter. Hi, Monty. So we're talking about online safety, in particular, the UK's online safety bill, which made some significant steps this week. Well, the major news was that

2:48:28 an amendment means that executives at tech firms could face prison in the UK for up to two years if they fail to protect children online but that's just the tip of the iceberg a lot of things have been made criminal in this bill it's now passed the House of Commons and is in the House of Lords these include cyber flashing which is sending obscene content to strangers online often this is done by airdrop the Apple app Deep fakes which superimpose people's faces onto pornography and down blousing it's pretty obvious what that is taking photos down a woman's top What happened to Upskirt? We went from Upskirt to Downblasting. I was thinking the same thing. This is a travesty. So what's not in the law then? Well, a previous version wanted to address content which is legal but harmful. So things like disinformation, racism, misogyny. In the end, this was taken out after lobbying from free speech advocates. Oh, not those free speech advocates. The platforms are now required to remove content if it infringes their terms of service.

2:49:30 How has the bill been received? One foundation that's not very happy is the Wikimedia Foundation which of course looks after Wikipedia. Rebecca MacKinnon, Vice President for Global Advocacy told the BBC that the threat of harsh new penalties that the online safety bill brings will not affect just big corporations but also volunteer-led sites like Wikipedia. And there are also concerns... What do they have, what do they do? Are they doing downblousing on Wikipedia? How bad can it be on Wikipedia? I'm looking up Rebecca McKinnon now to see if she has a big top.

2:50:14 mass age verification in a way which is secure. There it is! That's what it's all about. Age verification, digital ID. It's coming people. Get ready for it. You won't be... Already it was in Alabama I think. If a website has more than 33% pornography on it you have to use a government state approved ID to go on this website. They're insane. This is where it's going. You can't stop it. Learn how to use Tor, people. And now, this was my favorite, not a lot of people reported on Janet Yellen. You know, because we have...

CHAPTER 43 / 44 Discussion

Janet Yellen Africa Trip, Debt Limit, Mali-Russia Relations

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen began a 10-day trip to Africa to extend US influence and counter Russian "barbaric aggression" that has exacerbated food insecurity. While Yellen pledged $55 billion in aid, countries like Mali continue to turn to the Kremlin for military support, recently receiving a shipment of Russian warplanes. The trip occurs as the US faces a critical debt limit crisis at home, requiring "drastic measures" from the Treasury.

janet yellen· africa· mali· debt limit· food security· putin

2:50:55 significant issues. Right now, as you know, we're out of money. The debt limit needs to be raised. Janet Yellen herself said that last Thursday, well, we're going to have to start doing drastic measures because now we're out of money. We can't borrow anymore from the banks. The Federal Reserve will print it up and make it so we can borrow it and pay them back interest. Why we do that, I don't know. So what would you do if you're Janet Yellen? Would you be Head down, trying to talk to lawmakers, trying to convince them, hey, you know, we gotta do something. Is that what you would do if you were Janet Yellen? Would you be here and just... I'd be drinking.

2:51:32 Doubting the continent's enormous economic potential, US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen kicked off her 10-day trip to Africa on Friday. It's Washington's latest attempt to extend its sphere of influence in the region in the wake of the war in Ukraine. Russia's barbaric aggression against its neighbor is particularly being felt by Africa and its people. Russia's war and weaponization of food has exacerbated food insecurity and caused untold suffering. And the global economic headwinds caused by the actions of a single man. I love this. So not only is Europe in trouble, Ukraine is being decimated, and I mean that in the right sense of the word. But Putin, Putin himself is now, is now screwing up Africa.

2:52:26 This man is so powerful for a dead man walking with his cancer and his and all those other ailments is amazing It's the first high-profile visit of a senior US official this year but by no means the last with the president vice president Kamala Harris and other cabinet secretaries expected to visit the continent in 2023. In December, President Joe Biden hosted the US-Africa Leaders Summit, the first since 2014, where he announced that the US would commit US$55 billion to the continent over the next three years. But even as the US tries to get African countries on side, on Thursday Mali's position was clear. Its latest shipment of warplanes and helicopters from Russia arrived in Bamako following similar deliveries in March and August last year. Ensuring the security of the Malian population is not a luxury but a necessity.

2:53:23 As Mali's relationship with Paris in the West soured, the junta has increasingly turned to the Kremlin to fight the country's growing jihadist insurgency. There you go. It's the Russian, the Russians are selling their warplanes to Mali and other countries in Africa. I mean, the more we move forward in time in the future, the more it's the same. It's all the same. Yeah, it's a bunch of hustlers. The hustlers, exactly. And shame on every... shame on all of the Uniparty in Washington DC who are allowing this to happen, probably benefiting from it. I don't hear a single person saying, you know, this is kind of fucked up. They're not allowing it, they're wanting it. Yes, that's my point. It's really... it's so disappointing because it's always the same.

Let me see, where is he? This is Reverend Al. We don't get something good from Reverend Al usually. But he's back, baby, he's back. Can't Democrats at least crack a little smile when you look at the fact that the Oversight Committee really has set themselves up with the conspiracy theorists, insurrectionists, weirdos, political freaks? So, yeah, there is that, you know, snorting water kind of moment. But, you know, I think the administration is going to be ultimately the adult in the room because

2:55:08 What's gonna be opposite them? You know, this is by default bring out the adult in the room I think you have to be careful that you look like an adult which you don't want to look like is that you're just as immature and giddy right as those that He corrects himself from a giddy to a jitty. Don't want to look like is that you're just as immature and giddy, right? Jitty as those that are. Yeah! Wait a minute. Political says Democrats are outright jitty. Yeah! So he says the word correctly. And then he corrects himself. And so he corrects it to his stupid pronunciation. You know why? You know why?

2:55:57 He's like, let me give those boys from No Agenda something to play. That's what he's thinking. The Rev Al loves us, man. He loves us. He loves us. Well, he's a lover, not a hater. Yes, he sure is. Wow, I'm totally exhausted from the show. I don't know why. Too much war. You were tense over the system going down again. But the tank talk, that really just took it all out of me, man. Too much tank talk. Tank talk. Where's Tank Girl when you need her? Sounds like a new podcast. Tank Talk! Tank Talk!

For German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, the tanks question is a red, red line. Germany has not yet approved its own tanks. We want to see the US send their own tanks first. The United Kingdom sending their tanks was simply not enough.

I was not an activist, I was not out. Margie, I was not down in Selma. I was not anywhere else. I'm so damn old.
