About this episode

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, marking the closest proximity to global catastrophe in history. This decision, defended by Suzette McKinney of the Science and Security Board, cites the war in Ukraine and nuclear risks as primary drivers. Meanwhile, Professor Emeritus Guy McPherson predicts total human extinction by 2030, identifying an ice-free Arctic as the final tipping point for the planet.

Global food systems face radical shifts as the European Union approves lesser mealworms and crickets for human consumption, while Bill Gates and Mark Cuban invest $4 million in carbon-neutral dairy through Neutral Milk. In the United States, the FDA has granted a green light to lab-grown meat produced in steel vats, with celebrity chefs Jose Andres and Francis Malman recruited to normalize cultivated protein in high-end restaurants. Simultaneously, the Dutch government is shuttering the Groningen gas field despite a regional energy crisis, and Microsoft has implemented carbon-saving power modes for Xbox consoles to offset environmental impact.

Geopolitical tensions escalate as the United States and Germany coordinate the delivery of M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, a move National Security Council spokesman John Kirby describes as a long-term offensive strategy. Amidst these maneuvers, former FBI counterintelligence chief Charles McGonigal faces indictment for alleged ties to Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. The show concludes with a look at the Project Veritas Pfizer sting and a parody song dedicated to Prince Harry.

Australia Day History and Penal Colony Origins

The hosts open the show by acknowledging Australia Day on January 26, 2023. They discuss the historical origins of the date, marking the 1788 landing of the first British ship. The conversation touches on the controversy surrounding the holiday regarding indigenous perspectives and its history as a penal colony.

00:00 I think this is the Russians. Adam Curry, John C. DeVora. It's Thursday January 26th 2023 This is your award-winning Get My Nation Media Assassination episode 1524! This...is no agenda 90 seconds to midnight and we're broadcasting live from the heart of a Texas hill country here in FEMA region number 6 In The Morning everybody, I'm Adam Curry And for Northern Silicon Valley where we're all wishing Australia a happy Australia Day. January 26th, I'm John C. DeVorex. It's Crackpot and Buzzkill! In the morning! Now that begs the question...

00:37 Australia Day, I mean what exactly is Australia Day? Didn't that start off as a penal colony do they celebrate that? They celebrate well they don't celebrate any of it because its white supremacy but... Okay. Of course it is because of the indigenous. And by the way today after tomorrow actually in Australia so 26 has gone but the it celebrates the 1788 landing the first British ship on the shores of Australia. So they do, they celebrate being prisoners? No it wasn't the first prison ship! Oh I thought it was! That was an after... They landed there and they said this place looks perfect for prisoners! That makes sense okay well good on you pummies

Doomsday Clock Advances to 90 Seconds to Midnight

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the Doomsday Clock to 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it has ever been to global catastrophe. Suzette McKinney of the Science and Security Board explains that the decision was influenced by the war in Ukraine, nuclear threats, biological risks, and climate change. The hosts critique the scientific validity of the clock's metrics.

01:28 Well, I mentioned in the opening John but it is very dire once again we're down to the wire. It's bad bad news everywhere the science has spoken! Now they call it The Doomsday Clock and it symbolizes just how close humanity is to self-annihilation well the closer the clock gets to midnight the more danger we are all in Well the sad news is that in a couple of factors have resulted in that doomsday clock advancing by 10 seconds meaning we're now just 90 seconds to midnight. That is the closest the clock has ever been to midnight, midnight! I think it was actually...I know it was 2020 when it was

02:07 What is it, 100 seconds to midnight? Let me see. We are closer to doomsday than ever before according to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists they created the Doomsday Clock at the University of Chicago and based a countdown in midnight on how much time civilization has left. That's a little different report than we got here It was like before we annihilate ourselves is what they turned into now this old report was from 2020 That's how much civilization has left. Let's talk to a scientist. Of course, symbolizing the end! Well let's find out more now from Suzette McKinney who is a member of the Science and Security Board at the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists that's the bulletin which the Doomsday Clock is set by each year. Now Suzette thank you so much for joining us. You were one of the speakers on today's panel in which this rather bleak announcement was made just

02:56 Just tell us, how was this decision reached to put the clock forward by 10 seconds? Oh John what do you think the problems are in the world that made the clock hop forward ten seconds to ultimate peril and doom. Calforce. Yeah, that would be one. Yeah, that's why there's a lot There's actually they added one and the one that was added sonic missiles Well good evening And thank you so much for having me what I can tell is that the science and security board at the bulletin of The Atomic Scientists we spend a considerable amount of time in debating and deliberating over the threats and the challenges that we are seeing across our global community. Ah man, I love these scientists! They're just wasting money And so when we were setting the time on the doomsday clock as always We considered the threat of nuclear war, we consider emerging technologies such as biological threats and we also consider climate change all those factors that go into the setting of the doomsday clock

03:56 But wait, there's more could there be more in addition to those three factors? Come on john. You know what it is Uh, pandemic. Oh no man much more obvious than that. Republicans? That would have been a good one! One of the things that also contributed to the clock moving closer to midnight was the Russian war on Ukraine and so it was... And by the way The Scientist says THE Ukraine love that hello science Also contributed to the clock moving closer to midnight Was the Russian war on the Ukraine that you crazy? So it was a combination of things that caused us to move the clock The closest to midnight but it has ever been my question would be what's not really a 10-second move I mean could should have been like an 11 second these morons, you know Does this hurt this did you hear in America report about this. I didn't get one. I got a report from

Guy McPherson Predicts Human Extinction by 2030

Professor Emeritus Guy McPherson appeared on the Canadian Prepper podcast to discuss the imminent loss of human habitat. McPherson claims that an ice-free Arctic is the primary tipping point and expresses confidence that humans will be extinct by 2030, with 2026 as a likely date for significant population loss. The hosts analyze his previous failed predictions regarding 2018.

guy mcpherson· canadian prepper· arctic ice· habitat loss· 2030

04:57 It's not on this, but I got a report that has real dates. Real information when we're all gonna die is you know on the money stuff instead of this big TikTok thing. It's not from TikTok! Well i mean it's but there's a clock involved oh yeah yes there was a clock so I went to my favorite pod or one of my favorite podcasts The Canadian Prepper I have not heard this podcast. Well, I haven't heard it either till last week but... It's a favorite! It is now favorites atop top with... So he had on a retired professor named Guy McPherson who was a doomsday guy if there ever was. He thought of the University Arizona and he's a Professor Emeritus and i like the way that Canadian prepper pronounces as emeritus or something some crazy... They don't say emeritus? They say emeritus

05:48 But what this guy does, I don't know if the Canadians in general say Amaretto's. I sincerely doubt it but...I do know there is a lot of weird pronunciations so let's hear and this is just part one the second part will have the actual date of our doom! I'm looking for this clip I do not...Diane Macpherson There we go. Here we go. Hi folks Canadian Prepper here I got a very special guest on the channel today, Dr Guy McPherson he is professor emeritus of Emeritus? He's an emeritis? It's like MRI and with an emeritus! By the way your favorite podcast has a great fade out of the opening tune that's real subtle

06:30 I got a very special guest on the channel today. Dr Guy McPherson, he is Professor Emeritus of the University of Arizona. He studied natural resources ecology and evolutionary biology since we last spoke i think it was four or five years ago i think was 20 either 2018 or 2017 We've had record-setting wildfires around the world especially here in Canada. We seen droughts on every continent We have seen biblical flooding, especially in the west of Canada. Biblical flooding! We've seen heat waves that I've never before seen in my lifetime. It touched 54 degrees here in BC last year and the town where it was registered burned down the day afterwards. Good thing they got that recording before they burned down

07:20 Yes, otherwise we never would have known. We've had a pandemic, we've had an energy crisis, we've had a financial crisis and of course now we're on the cusp of World War III so my question to you professor is how much time do you think we have left? You know, I get asked that almost every day and I am certain that we will lose habitat for human animals shortly after we have an ice-free Arctic Ocean. Now, an ice free Arctic Ocean was projected to occur in 2018 plus or minus three years in one of the most renowned and conservative peer reviewed journals – The Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences so I'd say we dodged a few bullets

08:06 Did he say human animals? Yeah, he refers to us as human animals. That's like emiratis! Now I've stopped it there because i want to point out that this conservative journal said that we're gonna have Arctic, ice-free Arctic in 2018 plus or minus two years or three years. Three years! And they were off so somehow we dodged a bullet well how about the fact that this prediction was wrong? Does anybody consider the possibility and it just will be my theme for today's show... That the experts were wrong to begin with in this whole thing is nonsense but

08:45 That's never addresses that it's gonna be your theme for today show as if it that's different from anything we ever do any other show Yeah, I notice. I'm in mono by the way. I don't know if that's gonna mean you think people listening I don't think so but I want you to feel comfortable Anyway, so this guy now he goes on with a second the second yes second clip is He'll give us an actual date of our doom. Oh, get your calendars out people! Get your day planners! We will not have an ice-free Arctic this year according to a forecast by the U.S Naval Postgraduate School

09:22 And that seems to be quite reliable in its six-month ensemble forecast. So I think we dodged that bullet this year now there are of course a few other things that can cause loss of habitat for humans too and The peer reviewed literature already indicates that we are losing habitat for vertebrates and for mammals around the world I'm sorry, what do you say four figure birds? What did he say? vertebrates. Oh, vertebrates! It already indicates that we are losing habitat for vertebrates and for mammals around the world so I'd say we're close but naming a specific day you know i have complete confidence that there won't be a human being on the planet in 2030 oh I have indicated that 2026 is likely to be loss of humans as well

10:17 Right on let's write that 2030 as if we didn't know it 20 30 and 20 26. He's got the big dates he's got both of the classic numbers that we've been following its a the 2030 Club in which we set up in 2014 knowing that fully well, this will be the date because we actually know stuff I thought it was 2000, I thought it was 2027. Was the new big date? Oh, I must have been confused but okay well we have 2030 as our doomsday that's it there's no he's confident and he's the expert that there will not be a human on the planet by 2030 yeah well I will say...I will say! That the way things are going with food

Plastic Waste Conversion into Nutritious Microbe Protein

Scientists in Michigan are developing technology to use microbes to convert plastic waste and inedible plant material into nutritious protein, fats, and sugars. The project aims to simultaneously address the global plastic pollution crisis and food shortages. The hosts express skepticism about the palatability and safety of eating plastic-derived nutrients.

11:05 which of course is being adapted at breakneck speed to combat climate change. It's very likely if we eat the stuff that they're talking about, that's right. We won't be alive so here are a couple of examples You've heard of plant-based protein powder but what if the next alternative was made out of plastic? There is new research that could make it a reality Alright Stacy Zellcat talk to scientists for a product Alright let's make it a reality! Let's go check it out! ...that could help fight hunger and pollution They can fight hunger, pollution and life Food shortages are worsening around the world The plastic pollution crisis continues to intensify. What if there was one? So let's eat it!

11:47 Exactly what it is. This is a great, it's a twofer you get rid of the plastic It's actually a threefer you get rid of the plastic there'll be no more straws in their turtles nose And we all die to intensify What if there was one solution to both of these problems? A michigan scientist thinks There could be what we're trying to do Is to use microbes to take plastic and other inedible plant material and turn that into something that's nutritious. The idea is to turn components of plastic into protein and other nutrients like fats and sugars Yeah, this is really the theme uh...is nutritious it's going to be nutritious in addition to that he will also taste great! And it will feel good in your mouth It looks and tastes like chicken and it IS chicken Chicken? This is a great report

Lab-Grown Meat and FDA Approval Timelines

Cultivated meat grown from animal cells in steel vats is moving toward commercial availability following a green light from the FDA. Proponents argue that lab-grown meat reduces the environmental impact of livestock, which accounts for 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Industry executives expect price parity with conventional meat within five to ten years.

lab-grown meat· fda· cultivated meat· animal cells· france 24

12:39 Chicken! This is from France 24. It looks and tastes like chicken, and it is chicken except for the fact that it was grown in huge steel vats The company's sales pitch? You can keep eating real meat without giving up or becoming vegetarian or vegan Like I said its not a meat alternative Its meat thats grown from real animal cells So what we do is we take really high quality animal cells from let's say a cow or a pig, or a chicken, or a lobster. It's new! The lobster is new I've not heard this on the fake meat menu yet And we look for cells that can continue to grow outside the animal in a very robust and healthy way Like cancer

13:24 So we're basically eating cancer. Yeah, it's a good start! It took the company four years to get the green light from the US Food and Drug Administration Now it's hoping to sell its products to restaurants by 2023 and to grocery stores by 2028 But first It will need further rubber stamps from the US Department of Agriculture. I love that rubber stamp because yeah, of course! I mean it's already kind of good to go... ...it'll be approved by 2028 so we can eat it for two years and then die giving this guy you know kudos And it's just rubber stamped. We have to approve anything? It's good-to-go. It's rubber stamped. We think the initial pricing will be

14:03 premium, premium to organic. Premium? What?! Then it costs more than real chicken! No wait... oh no no this is a nexus here. Pricing will be premium, premium to organic and we also expect the price of conventional meat to continue to grow up significantly it keeps going up cultivated meat price comes down and there's a sweet spot in the next five to ten years where we intersect, and we become more affordable than conventional meat. Cultivated meat could also reduce the environmental impact of livestock which are responsible for around 15% of the world greenhouse gas emissions The EU along with Israel and other countries are currently working on a regulatory framework for lab meat products There is term for this they've come up with a new term

Bill Gates Invests in Neutral Milk and Methane Reduction

Bill Gates and Mark Cuban have invested $4 million in "Neutral Milk," a data-driven carbon-neutral dairy product. Additionally, Gates is funding an Australian firm called Ruminate to develop seaweed-based solutions to reduce methane emissions from cow burps. The segment highlights the high cost of these climate-friendly food alternatives.

14:54 if you're going to... Delusion? Climatarian. Climatarian, I love that term! Isn't it great?! I knew you would love it! They have another one which is Regenivore but I like climatarian better and as a newly minted climatarian you'll be inundated with great new products for instance we have Carbon neutral, I'm sorry the term is it's called neutral milk. It is It is carbon and neutral and it is of course data-driven it is Funded by data driven milk funded by Bill Gates and fellow billionaire Mark Cuban they put four million dollars into neutral milk And they have just announced a second round of funding from celebrity investors including

15:55 John Legend! LeBron James! Kevin Love, who's a Portland... Unusual suspects. I mean you get- I want John Legend to be drinking this day in day out drink it drink more drink more Well that's funny because i have a Bill Gates clip about another thing he's doing with cows Let me just give you the price what do you think this will cost? A half gallon? A half gallon of phony baloney milk should be a buck $5.49 a half gallon That's reasonable I think i have the Gates clip as well so let's play it because this is a good one Bill Gates has decided to invest in a way to stop cows from burping so much he's put some 11 million euros into an Australian firm Ruminate which is tackling how to lower methane coming from cows

16:50 specifically from cow burps. For surprisingly enough, it is cows' burps and to a lesser degree their flatulence that accounts for most of the methane that they emit. Wait a minute! Is this surprising to this news model? Where has she been?! We all know it's flatulence, but we know the burps are the big bad methane spreader. Both of these French 24 women don't seem to understand this. Now curbing these bodily functions are important because methane has over a 100 year period it has around 30% more of a warming effect than CO2 now the funding from The Gates Investment Firm will help the company work on replacing

17:30 replicating seaweed, which has actually been shown to lower methane gases in cow burps. Such an advance could eventually transform some of the dire effects that the red meat industry has on the environment." That's fascinating! I knew about the flatulence, to speak politely but not about the burps It is actually more burps than flatulence Who knew? Oh my god it's fascinating! Who knew?! Oh my goodness who knew!? Wow I've got another clip if you don't have any more. Well, I have that same clip... This will be a little inter-

Carbon Capture Technology and Insect Consumption in the EU

Climate experts report that planting trees is insufficient to manage CO2 levels, necessitating urgent investment in carbon removal technologies. Meanwhile, the European Union has approved the larvae of lesser mealworms and house crickets for human consumption. The hosts discuss the push for "climatarian" diets and the normalization of eating insects.

carbon capture· co2· european union· mealworms· crickets

18:06 Intermezzo, it's from the BBC and it kind of backs up everything that we're playing here. Technology to remove the planet-warming greenhouse gas CO2 from our atmosphere must be urgently ramped up that's according to leading climate experts in a new report It does need some explanation so let's take you to our environment correspondent Jonah Fisher. The plan was that we were going to plant a lot more trees What we needed to do... Oh no, this is ridiculous! Trees are no good. ...get rid of CO2 in our atmosphere? What are these scientists saying now? Well what these scientists are saying is that can only be part of the solution that the problem is so severe and even if we do manage to massively cut the amount of carbon dioxide that were putting into the atmosphere at the moment nature will not be enough on its own to compensate So at the moment we have trees forests

19:00 absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Soil under the right conditions does the same thing too, but what these scientists are saying in their report is that technology more technology will be needed in this to take more of that carbon dioxide out of there at the moment these technologies are relatively new somewhere in the process of being deployed but effectively what they got what these scientists as a saying is right now we need to be putting more money into developing these technologies because further down the line, five ten twenty years down the line we may well need them to get more carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and potentially even try and help reduce global temperatures if they've continued to...if as expected they continue to heat up at alarming rate. Alarming! Mother Nature can't do it herself John, we all know that. No it's alarming too I'll tell you one thing you know that manufacturing uh...that chicken goo? I think thats gonna lay an egg

19:55 Well, the problem is that the programming is so strong I can easily see over-socialized undereducated people saying yeah you know hey it's chicken. It's chicken! What are you talking about? Like you said this it's like a cancer cell its chicken and already the EU has approved For human consumption, I'm reading from the article from Deutsche Welle. The maggot-like larva of lesser mealworms a type of shiny black beetle and house crickets will become the third and fourth insects that can be sold as food for people in the European Union And eight more applications await approval So they're gonna slip it in anyway The poor people of EU Yeah

WEF and Media Narratives on Pet Carbon Footprints

The hosts discuss reports claiming the World Economic Forum and media outlets like CNN are targeting the carbon footprint of household pets. Suggestions include switching pets to insect-based diets or replacing dogs and cats with low-impact reptiles. A controversial claim is mentioned regarding actress Emma Thompson and the extreme measures suggested for the climate crisis.

20:48 But that's a perfect example of why don't they at least put out a cookbook like the French did during the French Revolution? on how to eat rats Huh, no. That's disgusting It was a gourmet item during the French. No, that's just that's the French it worked up a lot of rat recipe now That's disgusting we want bugs rats are just uncouth not clean Well, listen to this. Now this is a terrible clip in terms of the quality but I think you can understand it This is the eat your dog clip Hold on! Phoebe don't listen Okay? Can I hit it? This has taken it to an extreme and this is all based on WEF recommendations which include a lot of screwball things

21:35 and mainly get rid of your pets, they're causing climate change. The WEF which has ordered mainstream media outlets to begin pushing the narrative wants to introduce an international policy that would require the majority of pet owners to euthanise their animals CNN always at the forefront in pushing the globalist agenda has begun urging its viewers to starve their pets to death in an effort to combat climate change. CNN published an article on their website recently entitled, Our pets are part of the climate problem these tips can help you minimize their carbon paw prints In the article the liberal sadists at CNN argue that the meat heavy diet of many household pets is causing planet warming gases to be released into the atmosphere Responsible pet owners should trade in their best friend for a turtle for the planet

22:23 Snakes, turtles and reptiles can have a really low impact CNN suggests. Your kitty cat and pooch CNN explains are going to have to eat bugs just like you assuming Klaus Schwab allows you to keep them at all in the future Bloomberg another mouthpiece for the global elite jumped onto the bandwagon at the same time urging pet owners to let their pets die to fight inflation Hollywood celebrity Emma Thompson has gone even further, telling pet owners to eat their own pets. To survive the so-called climate crisis. Wait I need a clip of Emma Thompson saying eat your dog or... I've gotta find something for her. Eat your pussy! Either one we want you to clip of her saying something about eating your pet this is wrong but listen this is Yahoo News By the way it's belated for you there you go

Celebrity Chefs Promote Lab-Grown Meat in Restaurants

Reuters reports that lab-grown meat could appear in high-end U.S. restaurants as early as 2023. Cultivated meat companies have recruited celebrity chefs like Jose Andres and Francis Malman to showcase the products. The hosts compare this marketing strategy to the use of influencers during the COVID-19 pandemic.

jose andres· francis malman· reuters· influencers· cultivated meat

23:16 Yahoo what? Yahoo News which is taking this directly from Reuters. So you know when it's on Reuters that's where the programming starts, it's the official news service! Reuters... Washington, you Reuters once the stuff of science fiction lab-grown meat could become reality in some restaurants in the United States as early as this year now we know that these lab grown meats outfits have been working with... Here it is. In a show of confidence, some of the... No I'll read the whole thing. Executives at cultivated meat companies are optimistic that meat grown in massive steel vats could be on the menu within months after one company won the go-ahead from a key regulator in a show of confidence and pay off money some of them has signed up high end chefs like Argentine Francis Malman and Spaniard Jose Andres to eventually showcase the meats in their high end eateries see

24:09 This is this and I don't know if it'll work, but they thought the kovat with celebrities was so successful That they're doing the celebrity chefs. They're gonna have celebrities You know like the ones we talked with them with the Bill Gates milk They're going to hatch they think that celebrities will push it on people and those people will buy It hook line and sinker it works. I think it does too It's a known fact. It has always worked, it is the influencers I mean that is why people don't even know who become semi-famous amongst certain crowd Yeah! It will work and Jose Andres will do anything for money Do you know him?

24:49 I've seen him on TV. I don't have never met it. That's close enough, but he looks like he's one of those you know He's a good shit is a good chef that is a promoter So yeah Yeah, and me to show me the money when Gordon Ramsay falls for then I know it'll all be over. I don't think But Gordon, boy they'd have to really throw a lot of money at him. I think he would ultimately do it for money don't you think? Yeah! Well i think he would do it Although I think he might also ultimately figure he can make more money by railing against it And I think the idea that your eating a tumor Basically their growing... The only thing you can grow by itself is a tumor I think that's one good countermeasure That will work for promotional purposes

Netherlands Shuts Down Groningen Gas Field Amid Energy Crisis

The Dutch government has decided to close the Groningen gas field, the largest in Europe, due to safety concerns regarding seismic activity and earthquakes. This closure occurs despite the precarious energy supply in Europe following the disruption of Russian gas. The hosts question the timing of the shutdown during a regional energy shortage.

25:40 Would you like a tumor with your fried... would you like french fries with your tumor? We need a better word than tumor. What's even worse than tumor? Tumors are good words for something that is repulsive! Would you like turmeric with your tumor today? Oh man, so in the climate change game a couple of things are taking place that we have to just deal with because climate change, The Netherlands is now shutting down pretty much the largest gas field in Europe which was north of, off the coast of the Netherlands, Groningen. They're shutting it down... Wait before you continue I don't think i heard you right during a crisis because of Ukraine and Russian cutting off all gas supplies and one of the pipelines being blowed up they decided to stop producing gas? Correct

26:36 Ah, smart. The Dutch government plans to close the Groningen gas field this year despite Europe's precarious supply position. Groningen is the largest gas field in Europe. The field is dangerous a government official from The Hague told the Financial Times and the government has no plans to boost production from it We won't open up more because of the safety issues is politically totally unviable. But apart from that, I'm not going to do it because it means you increase the chances of earthquakes." Now this is what's hilarious for 15 years people who live there including void zero

27:13 had complained about their houses breaking apart from the earthquakes, from the gas storage and they drill holes and stuff. They're doing fracking! And now all of a sudden we can't have this? This has to stop?! So wait a minute, so what you're saying is the timeline is that this has been going on forever and these earthquakes have been annoying everybody. But now that there's a shortage let's shut up doing it! Let's shut them down yes Wow In addition to that just as a fun throwaway The British Parking Association Is having a very big problem with the weight of electric cars causing collapses of parking garages

Microsoft Xbox Climate Features and Parking Garage Weight Limits

Microsoft has announced new power-saving modes for Xbox consoles to reduce carbon emissions, equating the energy savings to planting trees. Separately, the British Parking Association warns that the heavy weight of electric vehicle batteries may pose a structural risk to older parking garages.

27:58 That's interesting. Especially, you know they have a lot of those garages especially in Europe I think we have them here too but not as many where they have whether your drive your car into little conveyor and it jacks it up into the air and then they stack these cars in a small area and they're all kind of stacked up those things probably have weight limitations They'll pancake beautifully just like Tower 7 And the final one I have, two things. Oh yes this already happened in China but now Microsoft is of course going to help suppress climate change you know we've got a we've got to bring down the temperature so they've announced that gamers of the Xbox console as apart in order to fight climate change

28:50 They were and Microsoft's intention to become zero waste they will automatically be switching gamers into shutdown mode to conserve energy So they will shut this is you're about to win the game and kill the opponent And get all kinds of accolades It'll shut down on ya, but the good news is for every two consoles that switch to shutdown for one year will save the equivalent amount of carbon removed by one tree planted and grown for a decade. So you're actually growing a mythical tree by not playing your game? Isn't that the big... except for Office, isn't that a huge money maker Xbox? Isn't it really big for them? I think it is! They are doing quite well with it yeah. I know so they might want to think about that

FDA Proposes Lower Lead Levels in Baby Food

The FDA has proposed new guidelines to reduce the allowable lead levels in baby food by approximately 25%. The proposal targets processed foods made with fruits, vegetables, and dry cereals, though some critics argue the limits do not go far enough. The hosts question why any lead is permitted in infant nutrition products.

29:49 Just seems idiotic. Yes! It's a great time to be a gamer, until it's not... All right okay all right I guess that takes care of our climate roundup. Yes i think it does finish up climate change. Your dog is my favorite. Yeah that was a good one well the obvious next move seems to be, oh wait actually I should play these two last clips. These are kind of short. In tonight's Health Watch we have important information for parents about baby food the FDA today proposed new levels for lead in baby food cutting the allowable level by about 25 percent. How about

30:35 no lead in baby food. Is that a concept? What's lead doing in baby food, that's what I'd like to know. Well they're not going to explain it! Allowable level by about 25% to 20 parts per billion or less now that would apply to baby foods made with fruits vegetables and dry cereals but not cereal puffs and teething biscuits which have been found to have some of the highest lead levels The author of a 2019 report that found dangerous levels of lead in nearly 95 percent of manufactured baby food says the FDA's proposals don't go far enough to protect children. But at least now you know... Maybe not feed your child manufactured baby food? Just a thought, doesn't sound like- I'll ignore this lettuce coming from

Egg Price Gouging and Bird Flu Outbreak

A farming group is calling for a federal investigation into soaring egg prices, alleging potential price gouging by major producers like Call-Main Foods. While producers cite a bird flu outbreak that killed 58 million birds, the hosts discuss a narrative linking egg consumption to blood clots, which they view as a distraction from vaccine side effects.

eggs· bird flu· call-main foods· price gouging· blood clots

31:20 I think from the machine. Is this background lead that exists in all fruits and vegetables or what? They don't explain anything, this is a terrible report! What mediocre network gave you that report? CBS, CBS, Norah O'Donnell's, CBS... ABC gave me this one. A farming group is calling for a federal investigation into the soaring price of eggs to look for potential price gouging. The biggest egg producer, Call Main Foods reportedly posted a major increase in quarterly profits compared to a year ago but producers say bird flu along with higher demand are driving prices higher. Bird flu has killed nearly 58 million chickens and turkeys since last March experts aren't even sure how much longer the outbreak will last

32:02 Mimi has some thoughts on this. She's working on a piece. Oh good to promote I hope the excellent outstanding too many eggs book now available at TooManyEggs.com for free! I couldn't have said it better. That's what we do for each other John So she says that one of the big egg producers might be responsible for this a for this bullcrap It may be the whole thing may be rigged. Wait a minute That's what I said, and you excoriated me for that. I did I'm here to apologize Where's Mimi's apology? She told you what was going on and you put me in my place

32:43 You're wrong! I don't know where that comes from. Well it doesn't matter because we need to stop eating eggs because, and i'm sure you've seen this... Oh yeah this is a good one. Blood clots. Out of the blue. Yep compound found in eggs linked to an enhanced risk of blood clotting That could be because there's no reason that the vax is causing this problem Nooo its egg man It's the eggss Ahhhh it's crazy The eggss Let me see, do I have anything else on the eggs? Yeah. We have run out of it but we could move... Got a plug in there though! Well let's move to some adverse events you know it truly is amazing how many how much excess death there is all over the world I mean really all over the world

Australian Heart Disease Spikes and House Moving Anecdote

Fatal cardiac arrests in Australia rose 17% in 2022, which doctors attribute to the lingering effects of COVID-19. This leads to a personal anecdote about a house mover who developed myocarditis after vaccination. The story transitions into a discussion about the economics of moving houses scheduled for demolition as a solution to housing shortages.

australia· heart disease· myocarditis· house moving· demolition

33:41 It's just and people are flabbergasted by it. And obviously, because of the lockdowns and COVID. Fatal cardiac arrests in Australia are on the rise doctors say COVID damaging effect on the heart is driving serious cardiovascular problems more than 10,000 Australians died of heart disease in the first eight months of 2022 17% higher than expected in a normal year Heart disease experts say these statistics are concerning but not a surprise. Not a surprise, not a surprise at all! So there was the... so my wife is talking it's one of their planning commission meetings or something she ran into this character Is she still in local government up there? Yeah I pity the fools I pity them who have to go up against Mimi. So she runs into this guy who is a house mover

34:34 And because we have this little house that JC and Jesse live in, my mom's old house. And it's a small bungalow but if you could jack it up and put a whole new floor underneath is the way to go instead of adding on. That's where you should find a place and you'd jack it up a floor and then put another house underneath it. Wait, you'd jack the whole house so you don't happen to have to request planning permission? You still have to, I think they're still planning issues but it's not... It's cheaper. It's by far cheaper because of the- Shacking up your house is cheaper? It's like way cheaper because of the roof. Oh! To put a roof on a house is as expensive as building a floor Yes and according to this guy who was the expert cause he has been moving houses and his dad has been moving houses They are house movers They say that one of the greatest ways to get a house

35:29 is to find somebody that's going to tear down a house and buy the house, and move it into a piece of property and throw in a sewer and get power to it. And you can buy some of these houses that are going to be demolished... Of course not a piece of crap but something that still reasonably in good shape You can buy these things for like $200 dollars, the house Because the demolition price is so high, it's cheaper than demolishing to get rid of the house. The house is pulled away by the house movers and dropped someplace else this is the way to go! I can't wait to do that if you don't mind all pump the brakes on that one

36:10 Well, you can pump the brakes all you want because I don't think you need a house. But it would be part of a housing shortage solution and it turns out that That there's laws been put in place. So if their houses move, they're now they're making that you have to Inspect it as though it was a new house which is causing issues in some municipalities How do we get from people dying and okay? I'm sorry when I went on this kind of alongside track the guy says to her He says did you ever get the vaccine she says no And he said well I did and I've got myocarditis Yay, and he says you know what

CHAPTER 15 / 49 Discussion

Gallup Report on Declining Employee Engagement

A new Gallup report reveals that less than one-third of American workers are engaged with their jobs, a trend exacerbated by the pandemic. Younger workers in Gen Z and the millennial generation report feeling less cared for and less connected to their company's purpose. The hosts discuss "quiet quitting" and the impact of remote work on professional relationships.

gallup· npr· remote work· quiet quitting· gen z

36:50 He says, what really pisses me off is not the myocarditis as much as the fact that I was suckered into getting this thing. Well here's a CDC report apparently have not confirmed it myself that 118 thousand young people youths died after receiving their vaccine Global Life which is a life insurance company Stock GL on the New York Stock Exchange. They say high excess claims are ahead, so I don't know if that's a short or not? I don't want to recommend anything but... At least jack up the prices to make it work. Probably will Here is one disability data reveals alarming health crisis of the employed and this is kind of interesting because you know The Federal Reserve in United States, the central bank

37:51 They use unemployment as a, I think it's kind of big indicator whether inflation is going down or not. And they just can't get that to go down because maybe there are not enough people to work at all! Well I have three work reports related...I don't know if this has anything to do with what you're gonna talk about but this is the job engagement problems in the United States and I have two clips Yeah let's do that and then remind me where I was. Oh you'll remember Okay, job engagement in the USA here we go American workplaces have a problem. A growing number of people just aren't that into their jobs Is this NPR? Yeah Fantastic to just I can't use NTD anymore which has the obscure stories American somebody apologizes to me know what who meet the artists Oh

38:43 Artist John's all pissed off. American workplaces have a problem, A growing number of people just aren't that into their jobs. A New Gallup report finds less than 1 third of people are engaged with their work. As NPR's Andrea Schew reports That is not just an issue for workers It could hurt their companies This drop in employee engagement started in the pandemic and it's only getting worse. Jim Harder is Gallup's chief workplace scientist. Younger workers, in particular are less connected to their organization less satisfied with their organization overall young millennials and Gen Zers reported feeling less cared for at work less heard fewer of them have someone who encourages development fewer have a best friend at work

39:27 work. Harder says that's become an important predictor of whether someone might recommend their company or consider looking for a different job. Having a friend at work matters more now than it did pre-pandemic Gallup found engagement fell most among people who could work remotely but have to work on site But the survey found another problem with fully remote workers. A growing number of them are now in a middle zone that Jim Harder equates to quiet quitting. They'll show up to the minimum required but not much else and they'll still look for other opportunities out there These findings don't surprise Tanvi Sinha, she's an audit manager at the accounting firm Matthews Carter & Boyce in Fairfax Virginia She started her career back when everyone was in the office every day even Saturday is in the busy season You develop that

40:11 that relationship with people, you make friends with people. You're spending most of the time at work and going out for lunches so those are the things that you're missing now. Now coming to the office is optional? But it's not just about being social, Sinha says. It can help your career to get a holistic view of your company. Working remotely you're working on one project you don't even know what kind of other projects your firm does or what kind of other people you can be working with. You have very little exposure Yeah I think we saw this happening and we understand certainly younger people who maybe they're first

40:49 Second job out of the gate which may not be exactly what they want to know career wise. They were at home working on computers and very disassociated from everything, and also there was too much money you got steamy checks everywhere I think in New York even a Texas If you are on unemployment insurance, which is three months I guess. It's on par with $65-70 thousand a year salary so eh you know the best thing you can get is fired from something So might as well just be quiet quitting and be a douche Get fired, get 3 months unemployment go back to work This has now become I think just a way of the world And what they really need is they need a good depression

CHAPTER 16 / 49 Discussion

Evolution of Youth Work Ethic and Vanishing Jobs

The hosts reminisce about their first jobs, such as paper routes and blacksmithing, noting that many entry-level positions for youth have disappeared. They criticize the shift in education away from vocational skills like auto shop toward social studies. The conversation explores how easy access to credit and changing social values have altered the traditional work ethic.

paper routes· summer jobs· work ethic· trade schools· automation

41:34 Well, that's a lot of people like to... I don't even know if that's gonna help. The problem-I think part of the problem is the work ethic which was created during COVID. You can't get a job when i was a kid oh here we go here we go hey people come for the deconstruction they stay for your stories When I was a kid, you could get work. I was a paper boy with two routes. I had a shopper route and a daily newspaper route and that was when i was in grammar school uh-huh And then when I was in high school, you know You would get summer jobs in factories paying good paying union as Biden would put it Good paying union jobs in a factory during the summer for three months at work And you'd have enough money to lot of...I knew a kid

42:23 A couple of kids in high school, they bought new cars. One of them had a Corvette in high school and he got it from working summer jobs and part-time because you could get these jobs and then you would get kind of, you could see the benefits of having the jobs, Corvette, and you would keep this ethos in your system and you would work for money. And if you didn't work for satisfaction oh I'm getting a job so I can feel satisfied You weren't working for satisfaction so you could feel good about yourself and you felt part of society in a cheap job that wasn't paying enough. No, you wanted to make good money not for satisfaction but so you could buy stuff. That is over! Yeah and but also you did not have a credit card. You did not have the easy access to credit that people have today

43:17 So you either had the money or you didn't. And you want a Corvette? It's not going to be on layaway, bro! Well, layaway actually did exist of course but it had no credit so that's another part of the problem when I was a kid here we go i too had a paper route when I was 15 and I would illegally ride the moped around town along the Amstel Dike which is where a lot of houses were. You had to drive a pedal bike? Well, I was doing it illegally but i did at 4 in the morning now of course newspaper delivery is no longer job so we have to...we can't really use that but I did do other things such as I worked on farms gathered potatoes and turnips

44:09 I worked in the rose nursery where you know, you'd sort the roses and my favorite job was a with a blacksmith. I learned how to shoe horses, which is again it's not really a modern job anymore. But i also worked for Bertus Bartmom and I would help fix cars! I was extremely good at taking a Volkswagen Beetle engine out by myself within 20 minutes getting in as a whole different deal but also those jobs are also not there anymore you can't be a mechanic for modern cars you can do anything too without the whole

44:44 diagnostics kit and everything, and even then you can't do anything. But they could be for example at the high school up in Port Angeles are taking the auto shop class out because it costs too much and we need to teach gender studies yes so they're taking that out yeah and yes you do need them but that's what the auto shop classes should would have provided they'd have all those fancy machines and readouts smog devices, the things that tell you how much of your cars qualifies in California. I think we're discovering here that every single job you and i had as kids pretty much no longer exists. Horseshoeing does exist it's not as big as it was back then paper delivery does exists very small very small but they exist okay but there are other things that have cropped up in the meantime You can't work at McDonalds because your mom already works there

Automated McDonald's and Labor Shortages in Texas

An automated McDonald's featuring robot service has launched, reflecting a broader trend toward replacing human labor with technology. In Fredericksburg, Texas, local businesses are closing because they cannot find staff despite offering competitive wages. The hosts suggest this labor crisis is driving the push for Universal Basic Income.

45:40 Which reminds me, by the way. So I'm watching the YouTubes and they're... Sorry! Thank you, I got that. Took me a minute. Finally! I know she never got to lay an egg joke so ever even. Yeah. Umm..so....I'm watching this in Texas there's a YouTube video of this automated McDonald's Yes That is just a robot McDonald's Yeah hello Have you seen this? Yes, but why is because everyone said I want $25 now or they went okay Look at my robot. But here's the thing, so I was going and I've noticed this because a couple of times that I've gotten a Mac cafe because they're like you get the giant one for the same price as the little one and if i'm like feel any low caffeine hit I might stop in a McDonalds to pick one up through the drive-thru or an ice cream cone if it's hot if I'll do that too even though they're overpriced now so I don't do it anymore but I notice this about

46:34 some months back they said I'm at the window ordering through the drive-thru and they said would you like to order that on your phone? At the drive-through. And i'm saying no, we just here... We sound like two douche boomers right now! We need to be productive This is not helping. We're arguing against ourselves. The douche boomer thing, we're gonna be that anyway but I'm thinking this was all part of the strategy to get even though you're already there you can just what's why do i need to use my phone for this? It's to get people used to using the phone so the robots can serve you

47:17 Yes, yes. You can't buy a McDonald's with cash if it's a robot! John we have a lovely little town here Fredericksburg Texas stores are and restaurants have been closing for one reason and one reason only they cannot get people to work They can't get them to work They can't get them now granted there's also very little affordable housing here But they can come in from Kerrville, you know. You can come in from other places and it's not like traveling half an hour is an outrage to get to work but they don't want to...

Redefining the Workplace and the "Chief People Officer"

Stephanie Frias of Lyra Health discusses how companies are being forced to redefine work to accommodate employee wellness and lifestyle preferences. The hosts mock the rise of "Chief People Officers" and the prevalence of "burnout" as a clinical excuse for absenteeism, comparing it to historical social systems in the Netherlands.

lyra health· human resources· burnout· workplace wellness· corporate culture

47:55 How long have we talked about universal basic income? This is just where it has to go. This is the strategy because they won't even need lawyers anymore, you don't need a doctor you got telemedicine where a provider will talk to you and then prescribe some pills all these jobs are... The end is nigh You know what, we may be dead by 2030 man. We're going to be dead! The Gallup survey backs that up across age groups and no matter where people were working it found employees were less connected to the broader purpose of their companies also less clear about what's expected of them. Jim Harder says that's worrisome you could almost equate it to employees becoming a little bit more like gig workers who aren't as loyal to their employers who aren't in it for the long haul

48:45 I believe that companies are having a reckoning. Stephanie Frias is chief people officer at Lyra Health, which provides mental health services to companies with all the quiet and real quitting going on she says companies are now realizing that workers want something different. I just got stopped for second because the troll room was saying yeah who wants to drive 30 miles for $2.95 an hour excuse me? $22 an hour plus tips for a waitress in a diner or waiter Okay, so it's you get your facts straight and expect something different We're going through a time where what work means is being redefined and it's being challenged Right. What worked in the past isn't going to work And what makes it hard? Is that no one truly has a playbook Freya says focusing on wellness is key to increase her engagement and retention

49:33 What she's hearing from workers is this. I still want to engage in the workplace, but I want to do it in a way that is convenient and palatable to my lifestyle. The accounting firm where Tanvi Sinha works is trying to find a good balance. People aren't required to be in the office, but managers like Sinha do encourage their teams to come in. And preferably on the same days. Pick a few days you know mingle with people talk to people Sinha says technology can help she does set up regular video calls with her team members to check-in But even so there are pitfalls Some people who were hired in COVID I mean I went to work after a long time and I couldn't even recognize that this is the person

50:14 So that's bad on my part. Jim Harder at Gallup says good managers are now more important than ever, they're the ones who can make sure employees know what's expected of them and help employees feel cared for Yeah there is a lot of this... My work doesn't determine who I am Well, that's a plus because that's true. Yeah But what is this these comments are in here like they as at the end there was something but there's first of all I want to aren't you might not connected in my next life? I wanted to be a chief people officer That's for sure That sounds like it's great yet Chief People Officer. It sounds like a great job and this woman she said lot of employees don't feel connected to the broader purpose of the company and

51:02 When was this, when has that ever been a criteria? I'm working for Ford Motor Company. I'm on the assembly line and you know putting a bolt on it and I have to feel like I've not connected the broader purpose well you kind of are. Well this all happened when HR came into play human resources which we've always laughed at human resource before human resources were really a big thing You know, we would laugh about it because that's all you are. A resource who is barely human but okay everyone loves it because human resources and I'm burnt out! I don't feel good. I saw this happen in the Netherlands when I was growing up Because of the socialized health care system you could get a literally The Dutch before they could even speak English the way they do today cuz it's improved over many decades Yes, it kept on burn out given burnout

51:58 Burnout. I kept on burning out, I have to stay home for three months, I got a burnout! It was... Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that you got a burnout? Yeah yeah you should stay home and you get uh i think 80% of your paycheck. Burnout. You can't go in there sitting at the chair? What would burn out you're talking about here?! I'm just telling you what I witnessed growing up. Sure you did and it may be like the genesis of this is it has to be in the 60s Hey man, do your own thing. No it's not! It's the system...it's been planned I think. What are we gonna do with all these people? Well we gotta...I don't know get them on an app

The hosts then announce the sudden passing of Jeff Morgan, the 58-year-old founder of the No Agenda Tea Club. They clarify that Morgan was unvaccinated to counter immediate assumptions about the cause of death.

We'll be alive probably all be dead between hello Hello well back to my original story From ScienceAlert.com, your blood type may affect your risk of an early stroke! Oh yeah that's it okay well they get the chicken eggs let's move that off the agenda and go to something else People with one of the Type A blood groups appear to be more likely to have a stroke before the age of 60 compared with... actually something very sad news this morning

53:38 Yes, this is and I was shocked moreover because this was not a vaccine Death but our dear friend producer and Founder Jeff Jeff Morgan of the no agenda t-club 58 years old died suddenly Yeah And very sad. I just received a new shipment from him We had it back and forth that was I was shocked. I was really shocked Very very sad. Yeah, I thought he was going some place with his tea club too. In Portugal? So... Love and light brother! And the family and his girlfriend of what is it she was his girlfriend for 36 years i think yeah basically his mate but his um his family were very very quick to point out that uh he was not vaccinated so you can't just die you know it does happen not everything is a vax not everything

Chris Hayes and the Republican County Death Gap

MSNBC host Chris Hayes reported on a study showing that excess deaths in Republican-voting counties in Florida and Ohio are 150% higher than in Democratic counties since vaccines became available. The hosts mock Hayes's pronunciation of "vaccines" and his reliance on teleprompters.

chris hayes· msnbc· excess deaths· florida· ohio

54:36 Now, there is one other way you can die and that's by living in a Republican state. A pre-print of a new study that analyzes data from Florida and Ohio shows that since vaccines became available... By the way it's not a vaccine if its a vaccine Just so you know. Isn't this Hays? Yes, it's Hays and he said Vaccines. He said Vaccine that analyzes data from Florida and Ohio shows that since vaccines became available... Vaccines! And this has been going on essentially since vaccines first became widely available it's gotten worse for reasons he says it again here we go right that's the key moment right excess deaths in Republican voting counties are more than 150 percent greater

55:22 But the author is noting, quote, he finally fixes it at the end there. Vaccines! What's wrong with him? Vaccines. I can't figure out what he was... What he was on? ...what he was alluding to when he saw this, the BACCINE on a teleprompter that's reading from him. What was he thinking? I think there is a job for young person replace Chris Hayes! He is losing it very sad. He has lost long time ago ever since then. He really rudderless ship without his mentor working all time

ChatGPT Performance in Business and Law Exams

ChatGPT successfully passed exams at the Wharton Business School with a B- and averaged a C+ at the University of Minnesota Law School. While the AI showed proficiency in grammar and professional knowledge, it struggled with basic math. The hosts discuss the threat AI poses to traditional professions and the rise of "influencer" as a primary career goal for youth.

chatgpt· wharton business school· university of minnesota· artificial intelligence· education

56:10 Now part of the problem which will only get worse is technology. We're just going back to why people don't work, can't work, don't want to work And it wouldn't be a No Agenda show without hyping up the dangers of chat GPT. At UPenn's prestigious Wharton Business School, a BB- on an exam is pretty good but a computer getting that grade using artificial intelligence is jaw dropping The computer put to use knowledge that analysts, managers and consultants get paid big money for. Although it struggled with sixth grade math at the University of Minnesota Law School chat GPT averaged a C plus on law exams although professors noticed suspiciously perfect grammar New York City and Seattle school systems have banned its use on department devices NYU set up a task force within a week to deal with it

57:09 And there you go. Chad GPT. Yep. Sounds like all promotion, but they got some advancements on it. But also when you think about a job what are the great jobs that we know what's out is teacher lame-ass teachers? What's out is police! Are you kidding me?! You're not gonna be in a cop are you no no no firemen and not so yeah I think there's still people who want to be a doctor or dentist or nurse maybe a hot librarian But really the jobs are sports star, sports star... Wanted hot librarian. Sports star, you know basketball, football, influencer I mean this is the obvious problem. That's a job! Influencer is a big job absolutely it's a huge job

58:03 So, you know that's what the kids see. I want to be like that guy or her on Instagram and when i say hot librarian the reason is because everyone uses the filters on TikTok and Reels and Instagram And so you can look hot, but not if you go out. You can only look hot at home! Here's another one... Makeup tips How to do your makeup? How to do cooking? Everyone is so creative I mean there are so many jobs in these tech firms which i will say is going away Oh yeah, I unloaded the theory on Rogan Wednesday which was on yesterday about TikTok

Joe Rogan Interview and Spotify Censorship Dynamics

One of the hosts reflects on a recent appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, discussing the "Trojan Horse" theory regarding Elon Musk and Twitter. They detail a specific instance where a word was bleeped to avoid Spotify's automated transcript flags and advertiser pressure. The conversation highlights the difference between advertiser-supported platforms and the value-for-value model.

joe rogan· spotify· elon musk· mastodon· censorship

58:48 Very, very polarizing theory to a lot of people. What was the theory? What we have is that TikTok, and the problem is not China. It's that they're eating Silicon Valley's lunch! Oh yeah no... Duh! David Foley said dude you're- That bit is trending on TikTok Well of course it is But people are like No man! It's China! It's China! Well okay since you changed the subject That brings me to a point where I had a question that showed up on TheNoAgenda social You had a chunk of your interview It was great. It was almost a Monty Python skit and what happened is we were talking about centralized, another polarizing thing when I say hey man Elon Musk himself has said that he wants to turn Twitter into x.com He wants to build a better PayPal We've played the clips. He has verbatim said that

59:49 And I said, hey it could be his own coin or it could be the central bank digital currency and I say that based on the fact that everything he does turns into a government project. Everything as far as I know... Oh no you can't say that about Elon! What? Yeah because Joe was the one who said oh so Elon could be a Trojan horse. So yeah it's possible but I didn't even say it to people are pissed off at me cuz Elon is the man And so I was talking about Mastodon and said there's a difference between someone getting kicked off of Twitter and off of these centralized systems, and Mastodon. So when I kick someone off our own server for being a dick on our own server they can take their followers and start... you know they don't lose anything. I do not take away your right to speech You can just do it somewhere else! Then I gave an example

1:00:43 the guy that I kicked off recently and I gave, I said the three words that I took issue with not that those three words are a big problem but if that's all you're doing all day long. I'm not interested." And when we were done with the interview Joe pretty much said look man if we leave that word in then it will either become the entire focus of what we talked about or And and probably Spotify will take it off. I didn't say that in those terms But it would be a problem and you can't just drop the audio because I think they create transcripts Automatically, and then you know, I actually said well why don't you blur out my mouth drop the audio? It'll be hilarious No one will know what I said there was kind of my idea but the funny thing was it happened as we were talking about Censorship and just before an ad played it was it was like Monty Python esque

1:01:38 Thought it thought it turned out pretty good. That's a hilarious Are you being facetious? No, I think it's very funny because the point is that the reason that he's on Spotify is because he's gonna Be censored to some degree anyway Because it's really like mainstream media. You can't have certain things you just can't do you not allowed But why is it not allowed because of advertisers exactly? There's no other reason I mean in a normal if it was a value for value model Mm-hmm, you know used to do what you want and then if people don't like it they just stop supporting the show which is what's happening to us mm-hmm and

1:02:19 I'm just pointing that out because our donations are lagging in the month of January. But that's different than an advertiser telling you what to do and so you're circumspect, which we were not. Or people using advertisers like we heard from Richard Edelman to manipulate what the platform is doing? Yeah it's what you do But that's what you do. That is exactly what you do. I don't think there is anything weird about it, but this is just what you do. The complaint we generally have about the mainstream media and advertising and the manipulation of the public...

1:02:59 That's what you do, but you could still at least try to do your job and try it maybe not be a complete stooge like it was for Pfizer or the big pharma. Everybody going along with whatever they want you to do because their advertising is so onerous. Now I will say that we talked about vaccines about death and that was not a problem! And Joe does have a lot of power he has a lot of power He can pretty much do anything he wants But he's still I think, I believe he's probably still irked about the being called out for using horse medicine. We talked about it! There was in that context we talked about it and they had Sanjay Gupta on and Joe says why did everyone lie about that? And Sanjay Gupta his brain went...

DOJ Antitrust Lawsuit Against Google's Ad Monopoly

The Department of Justice has filed a second antitrust lawsuit against Google, seeking to break up its monopoly over digital advertising technology. The hosts speculate that the lawsuit may be a response to Google's waning influence or a way to protect domestic tech interests against the rising dominance of TikTok in the search and discovery market.

1:03:49 No, his brain went oh shit. Long time ago! No it didn't do that it was just the opposite It was jacked up so he could fend himself off I don't know I don't believe it let me go back and check with the office You're right Let's check with HQ Well advertising is under attack in a different way with big tech and I have some thoughts about this. We actually shared a story with each other in between shows. The Justice Department has filed a second antitrust lawsuit against Google, the DOJ is seeking to break up what it calls Google's monopoly over digital advertising technology

1:04:26 In 2020, the DOJ filed another antitrust suit accusing Google of abusing its dominance over online searches. That case is expected to go to trial in September. Google said today the DOJ is doubling down on a flawed argument that would slow innovation raise fees and hurt small businesses and publishers What do we think this is about? Is it really about small advertisers really We discussed this a bit on DH Unplugged. Where you also plug noagendashow.com instead of .net by the way, I'm just saying... It links! Yes it links.

1:05:14 I did that a couple of times actually, I made that mistake. But I know it links so don't worry about it. No worries no worries Now the this baffles me too because I am watching this is like you know This is like what did Google do or not do? Did they drop their their lobbying budget a little bit because they had a huge lobbying budget? Are they not giving enough free rides on one of three 767 jets that they own. Maybe there's a couple, you know, they need to kick in that give the contribute that jet is some free rides for Nancy perhaps I mean this has to be one of those or closely related options

1:05:59 Because I don't see that there's anything else going on here that has not been dis... already been, we've gone over a million times. And of course the EU has been nailing it or maybe we just need some extra money from them because the EU's been soaking Google every time they get a chance and you know maybe we could use a few those bucks over her in our treasury Why does the EU get all that money? Umm..I don't know Well as i was thinking about it back to Back to the basic thesis of tick-tock winning I have a feeling that it's related to that. Okay, we're gonna D platform tick-tock for you We're gonna tell everyone that there it and even Joe was so convinced wait a minute They track everything they track keystrokes and other computers And I said dude do you really think that no one else does that? Really yeah, really Of course they all do that of course They're all tracking it

1:06:59 Maybe it's a okay time for you to give something back here or you know we're trying to help You Google because we all know that tick-tock is where people search for stuff now if you want a great restaurant Search on tik-tok look at the short videos of people showing you the food Google loses in search with with the kids Maybe it's a hmm you know You know maybe you're just not like you say not we need more money. Maybe more lobbying It is after all Marco Rubio and Holly and all of these people who are doing this for Google and for Meta, and maybe meta will get the some hassle as well

Jair Bolsonaro's Post-Presidency Life in Orlando Florida

Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is currently living in a vacation home owned by an MMA fighter in Orlando, Florida. NPR reports that Bolsonaro makes regular appearances to greet supporters near Walt Disney World, maintaining a distance from the political upheaval and riots that occurred in Brazil on January 8.

jair bolsonaro· florida· orlando· brazil· mma

1:07:46 possible? I think it could be. I have three clips that kind of lead to something that's a conclusive, that might have something to do with this and these are the clips about because they're making a fuss about this Balsanaro is in Florida Oh really he's living with one of those MMA fighters, UFC fighters. Is he now? Why not? Well apparently one of the superstars and he's a Brazilian and he has his mansion and he says you know you want to stay someplace stay here and so it's like you know the way it works I guess yeah

1:08:28 So he's in and it's in Orlando even though I didn't leave this clip because it is from NPR. They try to imply that he was right next door to Trump, which was nowhere near Orlando but okay. But let's listen to these clips because this is kind of interesting, but the third clip is the whoa clip. Yeah Which is like then they just they just overlook and I think this may have something to do with it because of something you Just said let's play Bolsonaro in Florida NPR January 8th rocked Brazil that is the day when thousands of supporters of Jair Bolsonaro stormed Congress and the Supreme Court and the presidential office

1:09:07 Bolsonaro had tried and failed in his bid for re-election as president. His supporters claimed, with no evidence that the vote was rigged, Brazilian officials are now investigating events that triggered the riots but there's one key player missing – Bolsonaro himself! The now ex-president is living in Florida where he makes regular appearances, poses for photos with supporters and keeps a conspicuous distance from Brazil's upheaval and peer national security correspondent Sergio Olmos visited the Florida neighborhood where Bolsonaro is staying. Hey there, Sergio! Hey Mary Louise! So tell me more... Where exactly? This is a new way of inter- hey so hey there John! Hey so hey tell me

1:09:50 Just the new NPR? I've been playing a lot of NPR clubs, but this has been going on for years. It's just beyond me. Hey! Hey now! Hey now! NPR national security correspondent Sergio Olmos visited the Florida neighborhood where Bolsonaro is staying. Hey there Sergio. Hey Mary-Louise. So tell me more. Where exactly is he in Florida? He's staying at a vacation home owned by a Brazilian MMA fighter outside Orlando near Walt Disney World Few dozen people that go see him every day. There was 40 to 50 people when I was there last week Seeing him there's a mix of emotions among the crowd It's like seeing a celebrity or going to church people Park their cars on the on a dirt road outside this gated community They a lot of them are rental cars they walk past the security gate to get in and wait patiently on the sidewalk outside Of his house, and they're dressed up

1:10:39 Again, like they're going to church very nice. There's families kids some people bring Brazilian flags with them It's a really wholesome atmosphere and there's this informal schedule where Bolsonaro come out in the morning and again in the afternoon And people kind of wait around to see what exactly what time will come out? And we saw him come out and people were just aghast to see the ex-president he's kind of like Pax Atani Phil So he so this is kind of a funny scene it sounds like anyway they continue Sorry every day. He comes out twice today and greets supporters Yeah, and it's informal It's not guaranteed so people are kind of waiting and talking each other like has he come out today? What time you can't buy tickets for it unfortunately skip the line skip the line All right, so you were there one afternoon tell me tell me what that moment was Like what you saw

1:11:29 Most of the people there are Brazilian expats. Some are visiting the US and they're from Brazil, and they stop off to see him It's near Walt Disney World again so it's kind of like a tourist attraction in some ways And then some of the people who I saw were just staying in the area – it's a vacation resort kinda area We saw a group of people walking by asking who is this man that everyone was taking pictures with They were stunned to learn he was the former president of Brazil They got into queue and took a photo with him as well In the queue. Oh my, in the queue! Yeah we have to use those terms. British words yeah. Queue everybody in the queue Okay so they go on yakking yakking you know about the whole thing and then they bring up this is the last clip it's a minute clip and they just kind of ignore what the importance of what I'm playing here The importance of this clip relates back to what you just said or one of the clips that you were referring too but listen to this

CHAPTER 25 / 49 Discussion

Social Media News Consumption and EU Twitter Regulations

Supporters of Bolsonaro in Florida state they exclusively get their news from trusted social media sources rather than traditional outlets. Meanwhile, European Commission Vice President Vera Jourova warns Elon Musk that Twitter must comply with EU rules regarding "illegal content" or face sanctions, emphasizing the need for corporate responsibility.

social media· disinformation· european commission· elon musk· twitter

1:12:23 ponder it in ways that they're not pondering it. People were happy to talk and they aren't deterred by the riots of January 8th, some of these people that are in Orlando visiting him obviously are some his most fervent supporters they don't see any kind of thing wrong with January 8th and one thing really struck me was talking to people there was their media diet the role of social media at sunny supporters are telling me that at this point they almost exclusively get their news from social media where of course i have a series and fake news on it looked just like real news here's what one supporter let you sentenced told me issues is in florida from brazil

1:13:00 Yeah, because television doesn't say anything. Television, TV, radio, newspapers, magazines... Nobody says anything. Only social media. You have to follow all the people you believe in. Instagram, Twitter And we saw this with January 8th like January 6 here in the United States the role that social media played in ramping up supporters and spreading disinformation ah Yes, okay Hmm Google get in line Twitter get in line actually I have a clip about Twitter getting in line. This is uh

1:13:44 European Commission Vice President for Values and Transparency. After Mr Musk took over the Twitter with his freedom of speech absolutism, We are the protectors of freedom of speech as well. But at the same time we cannot... That's the funniest thing I've heard! We are the protectors of freedom of speech as well, shut up! After Mr Musk took over Twitter with his freedom of speech absolutism... The Twitter! I think we gotta keep that in... THE TWITTER! We are the protectors of freedom of speech as well. But at the same time we cannot accept, for instance, illegal content online and so on. Our message was clear that we have to rules which has to be complied with and otherwise there will be sanctions I think that confidence has been weakened

1:14:40 And I had quite a high level of confidence when it comes to Twitter. I have to say that we worked with knowledgeable people, with the lawyers, with sociologists who understood that they have to behave in some decent way not to cause really big harm to the society. I always felt that this notion of responsibility was there, so this is what i don't feel from Elon Musk personally but we will see he was invited to the European Parliament and I wonder whether it will happen. Yeah they all want control

CHAPTER 26 / 49 Discussion

History of Orkut and Social Media Culture in Brazil

The hosts discuss the history of Orkut, a Google-owned social network that was massive in Brazil before being shut down in 2014. They explore the highly social nature of Brazilian culture and how it translates to digital platforms. The segment also touches on the inauguration of President Lula da Silva and his alliance with Argentina.

orkut· google· brazil· social networking· lula da silva

1:15:18 It's gonna be a tough one for Elon. They want control. Now, if you listen to the couple of things about the Brazilian commentary especially that woman, the Brazilian that was talking about magazines and newspapers being useless... Yes She said a couple of things that were interesting and before I mention it, I should mention that the Brazilians as part of the Portuguese culture but probably in extreme example are the most sociable people in the world Yeah, they're not on. They're not really on social media all the time are they? Yeah! No they are because... If you remember that project that was years ago Orcut which was Oh you're right it was the Brazilian transsexuals that took over and Google couldn't handle it That's a way it would be like to be portrayed but wasn't the Brazilian trans It was everybody The Brazilians are sociable people as

1:16:11 Like, well I used to go there a lot because i was writing for one of the magazines down there and... ...I would go down there and strangers would set up a party around me. Because they setup a party around anyone! Hey everybody, The Big Boss is coming let's setup a party! If you wanna go to Brazil let me know, I'll tell ONE person! They'll put a party around you because they like to party. That's what they do, they party, they socialize, they talk, they chat, they're going out, they have restaurants and I mean it's just lively let's put it that way and Carnival if you see movies of it or anything is unbelievable so

1:16:51 So they're sociable, so social media will always play a role. But I think it's the tip of the spear because when she says that... The little tidbit that she had in there She said we only get our news from social media and then she mentions from people we trust. Ooh! Netcasts you trust from people you love Yeah, so should this so there was it? There's a trust factor. In other words if you're going to be providing news like we do You have to be trusted and we are. We have a lot of people that write us and say, you know I gave up on the newspapers that their mainstream media stinks That's exactly what this woman said

1:17:32 Yes, yes. That's what we hear too because we and we go out of our way to be accurate mostly by deconstructing let people do their own thing and anyway And we also have people boots on the ground in the rest But this is a big deal and and in fact that they would pay little attention to it at NPR knowing that there are I target along with the m5m of this change as cultural change which is Doesn't surprise me that it would start in Brazil, but I think this is universal. This is a big deal And I think this is part of the tick-tock problem and I think this maybe what's got something to do with his Google event That's taking place where they're going after Google for some reasons There's something up or cut what? I'm reading from The Book of Knowledge Orcut was a social networking service owned and operated by Google. I think they purchased it didn't they they bought no I think they I think this was at home group grown I could be wrong

1:18:27 Owned and operated by Google, the service was designed to help users meet new and old friends and maintain existing relationships. The website was named after its creator, Google employee Orkut Bjokukukunten. Jeez what? It's b-u with a umlaut y-u with an umlaut k-k-o with an umlaut k-t-e-n Biocorp. Orcut was one of the most visited websites in India and Brazil In 2008 Google announced that Orcut will be fully managed and operated in Brazil by Google Brazil, in the city of Belo Horizonte And was decided due to the large Brazilian user base and growth of legal issues

1:19:07 June 30th 2014 Google announced it would soon be closing or cut on September 30th. No new accounts could be created blah blah blah and they said another example of Google dropping the ball on something they actually did right The legal issues were stemmed from Bombay's High Court serving a nose on Google for allowing a hate campaign against India, uh-huh So you're right, I'm sorry that was the meme. They didn't like the Brazilian transsexuals... That was my bad on that and i'll never use that term again Yeah yeah The term I'm hoping you're referring to is My Bad That's what I said, My Bad Brazilian federal judge Jose Marcos Lundarololo ordered Google to release by September 28th Orcut users information of a list of about 24 Brazilian nationals believed to be using Orcut to sell drugs and involved in child pornography

1:20:01 The shutdown, here we go. Google announced Orca would be shutting down completely users could export their photo albums and okay Google engineering director Paolo Golger said in a blog post over the past decade Facebook YouTube Blogger and Google Plus have taken off! Google Plus never took off And by the way, so what is the difference between Google Plus or what they try to do with Google Plus? And by the way I'll tell you know CEO should know this. If you set up something that says she's setup shop in one way and it's pretty much doing something and then you kill it and then set up a similar operation people aren't gonna go to it did you see and say hey he just gonna kill it

1:20:49 What kind of thinking is this? Google Plus was... how different was it from Orkut? Well, the issue is they couldn't get Western people to use it. And that happens you know just sometimes stuff just happens a community forms and no one else will come in oh that's you know the Brazilian transsexuals I don't know what the problem was but they just didn't work and of course they've never been able to have any success with that There was something else kind of technology related in Brazil. Of course, the ex-criminal Lula won air quotes the election and check this out... A warm welcome in Buenos Aires a hug's a sign of renewed friendship between South America's leading powers

CHAPTER 27 / 49 Discussion

Proposed Common Currency for Brazil and Argentina

The presidents of Brazil and Argentina have discussed creating a common currency for trade to reduce dependence on the U.S. dollar. The hosts compare this to the "Amero" concept from 2009 and reflect on how their 15 years of podcasting allow them to identify repeating geopolitical and financial playbooks.

brazil· argentina· common currency· amero· central bank digital currency

1:21:39 With the Jair Bolsonaro years over, Luis Ignacio Lula da Silva is forging an alliance with cooperation agreements in various sectors including energy education and health. The two presidents leftist allies want to create a common currency for trade We don't know how a common currency between Argentina and Brazil could work. But what we do know is how economies work when they depend on foreign currencies to be able to trade. We know how harmful all that is." What do you think the chances are that will be a central bank digital peso? I thought it would be the Amaro, How about the South Amaro? Oh man! The Amero...

1:22:26 Do you know when that Amero was floated? That was really around 2009. No, it was way before that! But people started talking about it when the H1N1 hit there's a really interesting... I put in the show notes as a website um that has all these clips like mini clips many mini cuts many supercuts that are so analogous to COVID only only in 2009, coincidentally when we also had a big financial problem. Here's just play one of these short ones H1N1 virus has made thousands of people across the country sick many have died and some worrying that it could grow into a full-blown pandemic well one state the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is preparing for that with a very controversial bill Massachusetts proposing legislation they would allow police to

1:23:20 to forcefully quarantine residents and even impose martial law without a warrant. Back now with two quick updates on the story that began this broadcast last night, the predicted quick and rapid spread of swine flu in this country and around the world The US military considering a plan that could establish regional military teams to assist civilian authorities in the event of a major outbreak of the virus this fall. Now what do you think all the vaccination? You know, that's the I have more concern about the vaccine than I do about the swine flu. It's been rushed to market there are high levels of adjuncts which basically make it more potent makes so they can It's kind of a unrefined method that they use how these high levels of these adjuncts including thimerosal adjuvants I know you said it wrong kind of eerily similar

1:24:16 Oh yeah, their playbook. And we identified that as a playbook which is one of the reasons why we were extremely skeptical! Extremely skeptical... Well this is the advantage even though it's hard to imagine but this is the advantage Hard to imagine an advantage for the vow poverty we took There are two advantages I should mention that We have the vow of poverty in other words you don't take advertising and the other thing is time-in service So doing it for 15 years and seeing a repetition of this exact same process two or three times is an advantage because you can point back, because nobody does that.

CHAPTER 28 / 49 Discussion

Chase Bank ATM Closures and Rising Urban Crime

Chase Bank has begun locking its ATM vestibules in New York City during the early evening hours due to rising crime and vagrancy. The hosts argue this is part of a broader trend of reducing access to cash and closing physical retail locations in high-crime urban areas.

chase bank· atm· new york city· crime· cash access

1:25:01 So, let me see where we're at. We have a couple...we're gonna do one donation block again it won't be too long that's kind of the good news for everybody but there are things you know now so we got this little shutdown and we got the mandates although not governmentally mandated mandated for companies and for of course for government positions except for the FDA and CDC for some reason very odd And you know now we have, we got the inflation which did not happen after 2009 because we just said oh you know what? We're just gonna lower interest rates. Free money everybody! We will grow like crazy which we did now that free money train is over and so now we have crime and we have people getting shot up and killed in California of all places where the gun laws are extremely tough

1:25:49 and then you have just little nuggets like this. Getting money out of the ATM is getting less convenient for some bank customers Chase Bank is now locking some of its ATM vestibules in New York City in the early evening, they were previously open 24-7 chase blames rising crime and vagrancy other smaller banks have made the same change So the ATM is going away there goes your cash I mean they're just gonna have to shut that down we shutting down McStabby we're shutting down Starbucks because crime and druggies in California just hanging out in front of it. But there's a little more to that now we have the technological edge, because we barely had the iPhones last time this happened maybe for a year or two

CHAPTER 29 / 49 Discussion

Madison Square Garden Facial Recognition Controversy

MSG Entertainment is under fire for using facial recognition technology to identify and bar lawyers from firms involved in litigation against the company. New York Attorney General Letitia James has challenged the practice, while MSG defends it as a right of a private venue. The hosts debate the ethical implications of using surveillance technology for corporate retaliation.

madison square garden· facial recognition· letitia james· msg entertainment· privacy

1:26:31 And now you've got this story. This morning, the owner of two of the most famous venues in New York is under scrutiny for using facial recognition technology to deny entry to certain people. New York Attorney General Letitia James has sent a letter to MSG Entertainment, owner of Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall requesting information about its use of the technology Your ticket is not valid. Multiple lawyers who were already involved in litigation against MSG say the company used facial recognition to bar them from events Larry Hutcher says his Knicks season tickets were revoked last year after MSG removed his colleague from a game at Madison Square Garden At the time, Hutchers law firm represented ticket resellers who are suing MSG There is no rational legal moral or

1:27:18 any explanation that you could give that would justify the action that Madison Square Garden has taken. Kelly Conlon says she tried to attend a Rockettes show around the holidays, but she says the venue scanned her face and stopped her from entering. Her firm happened to be working against one of MSG's restaurants James writing MSG Entertainment cannot fight their legal battles in their own arenas. A representative for MSG said the policy does not unlawfully prohibit anyone from entering our venues, we are merely excluding a small percentage of lawyers only during active litigation but the practice is raising ethical and legal questions with potential ripple effects far beyond New York it is

1:27:56 very dystopian. It is very 1984-ish, how far is this technology going to go that people are gonna be able to use this type of technology to take action? That is clearly not what it was originally intended. It's frightening Hey, that's groovy isn't it I have actually mixed feelings about this okay? And by the way. I had that clip of that did this began with that woman Which was the last one they mentioned in a group and I had a clip on it some not like that woman

1:28:31 months ago. It was just a woman who was involved in the law case, she worked at the law firm that was suing MSG she had nothing to do with the suit or even that branch of the firm is one these big giant law firms but they kept her face and when she saw her she wanted to come into some something with her I think it was a ballet or something like Nutcracker with her daughter. That's exactly what they said, Radio City Music Hall And so that was the first episode of this. It's been going on, there is a couple of things though... For example if you're in a venue and you are nuisance and they throw you out for life which has been done especially in New York venues like I'm really drunk at a Yankees game which is pretty much redundant to say

1:29:22 But they take throw you out for life. I don't see that it's a problem that they monitor you coming into their private venue personally totally agree, but what you heard is a guy was not let in because his buddy and was unruly in his box or whatever and he had a section or box, or whatever. Or the woman in the law firm I agree those two are...I think that's actionable! I think they can be sued Well that woman lawsuit has been around nothings been determined yet And I just disagree I don't..I think that technology is taken over They're now pressuring companies

CHAPTER 30 / 49 Discussion

New York Stock Exchange Technical Glitch and Erroneous Trades

A major technical glitch at the New York Stock Exchange caused hundreds of stocks, including Walmart and Exxon Mobil, to open at incorrect prices. The exchange was forced to cancel numerous trades that occurred outside of normal volatility bands. The hosts question if the "glitch" was a deliberate intervention to prevent market shorting.

nyse· stock market· technical glitch· walmart· cnbc

1:30:00 You look we're gonna get rid of tick-tock. So Google you better pony up we're gonna screw with you Metta gosh knows where Facebook and an Instagram and all that will go Elon Musk, you know the only there is no way out for him with advertising just no way it's not gonna work anymore so his plan of XCOM better work if And I'll just stick on the technology and then then i'll get off of it because something very interesting happened this week. It probably happened on Wednesday? Did you see what happened with the New York Stock Exchange? No. Check it out.

1:30:56 It seems like there was a systemic sort of issue with the prices. Now, I don't know for sure but walking around just talking to the designated market makers and looking at prices some companies some stocks appeared have opened up limit-up limit down some had incorrect prices and we're just trying to still sort through exactly what's going on i don't quite know you know this has been fairly rare for occurrence like this some kind technological issue and that's what it looks like at the NYC. It has not happened in a very, very long time so I think that this was primarily not related to anybody with pricing on the floor or anybody else doing something it was a technological issue and we're still sorting it out.

1:31:43 designated market maker, see the floor officials Carl I'll see what i can get you in the next couple of minutes. So that's just as it happens CNBC clearly knows nothing don't know what happened but you can see he was very confused hasn't happened a long time What's going on? Luckily we have a follow-up from Yahoo! Quote We haven't seen this in years traders and market watchers reacted in open jawed shock at this morning's market moves New York Stock Exchange apparently suffering a quote glitch I know it was pretty incredible. It took me by surprise. Jared Blickery has been all over it for us today. Jared, what happened and what does this mean going forward? Going forward, I don't think we have a lot to worry about probably a one-off here but we should review this affected two

1:32:28 252 names this is only about a third to a quarter of them and at the opening auction And that's basically the opening bell here you have trades that are supposed to be matched and That did not occur, so you had all this liquidity if you can think of the bids up here in the offers down here All that vanished So that by the time they exchanges got some information from the New York Stock Exchange It was too late bunch of trades had executed way above and way below the prices. So in a bunch of these big names like Walmart, Taiwan Semi, Exxon Mobil, a lot of those trades are going to be canceled and we just found that out a few minutes ago when we got this notice from the New York Stock Exchange not gonna go into all the details but basically any stock or any security that was subject to these trades early on today if they were out of those volatility bands probably going to be decayed

1:33:16 or just overturned. This is a fact of life, it happens- It's a fact of life! They weren't supposed to happen in the first place perfectly legal sometimes erroneous trade happens and now they're going to be canceled but if you think you were affected make sure you check your account statements You're gonna have only a few days to probably review and if there are any problems correct the situation And I look forward to hopefully deconstruction on the next DH unplugged From what I understand, you could not short the market at the open when this happened. That's suspicious to me! It's like we know there is a plunge protection team but man could they actually just stop the shorting on the big stocks that might have had some bad news? Well there was no moment of short but... I mean it wasn't like everyone was getting ready to short the market. I think this is the Russians. Yeah, I can hear your phone off the hook

Spotify Layoffs and Patreon Financial Mismanagement

Spotify has laid off 600 employees, and high-ranking executive Dawn Ostroff has departed as the company's podcasting ambitions face financial scrutiny. Simultaneously, reports suggest Patreon is struggling with mismanagement and stagnant growth. The hosts warn creators about the risks of relying on centralized platforms that practice financial de-platforming.

1:38:14 Beautiful to have all these choices. You can go look at it yourself, Noah, ArtGenerator.com you can refresh in real time or anytime you want there's almost 29 thousand pieces there for a little over 1500 episodes It's phenomenal Value for value is where it's at and before we thank our executive and associate executive producers I would like to mention a couple of news stories Spotify has laid off 600 people. Spotify's podcast ambitions seem to not be paying off Don Ostroff, who was the employee who started it all the big acquisitions of talent I believe including Joe She has departed she was pulling down 7.5 million dollars a year

1:39:03 Which is a nice job if you can get it, but also huge rumblings about patreon mismanagement Patreon yeah patreon is in trouble. They've got a predictable Yeah And I can't read this whole article without subscribing to the information calm at patreon mismanagement thwarts a pandemic era star there's What is it? There's financial mismanagement, there is zero growth. They raised hundreds of millions of dollars to wind up at a four billion dollar valuation and it seems to be falling apart so consider what you're doing people consider where you stake your income on if you are actually

1:39:56 In the business of podcasting if you're a creator of any sort so kind of sad to see that happen But I can't say it wasn't predicted. Well, they might survive it. I mean the model is a good idea It was a great idea but they charge too much there and make an ad platform people all the time Yeah, that was the problem. They should have stayed in the background. Yes Maybe even done a couple of companies that look like them but just had different names. There's a different long tail approach you could have gone with that. But remember, it was MasterCard who does the bulk of their processing who were saying now you got to kick that guy off I mean this financial de-platforming is real That's really happening It's happening through these horrible systems

ISO Soundbite Competition and "This is Like Crack"

The hosts engage in a playful competition to select new "ISOs" (isolated soundbites) for the show's production. They test various clips, including "This is like crack" and "Thank you for having me," ultimately debating which audio snippets have the most comedic or utility value for future episodes.

isos· soundbites· production· audio clips· competition

2:02:54 Yeah, I should mention that Los Banos actually can be is pronounced two ways in most California cities you have one pronunciation except unless you're trying to exaggerate this thing San Jose but it is Las Banyo's and Los Banos. Oh Hmm. Well, I'm glad it-I'm glad we uh... You learned something on this show? Yeah! You learn a lot on this show actually Alright i have-i have alot of isos for some reason Do you want me to play mine first? Well you- how many do ya have? 1 2 3 4 5 6 Wow! Wow Okay You wanna play yours first or should I play mine first? Yeah let's play yours first and see what you got I've waited so long for somebody to do that

2:03:55 A little long actually. Let me see... I gotta jack this one up a bit. The War and Peace of ISOs, was that? That was definitely the war and peace of ISO's! Alright let's try this one then This is like crack! That's a good one! Thought you'd like that one Well the short answer is science Too much music No Podcasting is pirate radio Nah, lemme try this one How stupid are we?! Too long, really. And the last one...

CHAPTER 36 / 49 Discussion

Tank Talk: US and Germany Send Battle Tanks to Ukraine

In a segment titled "Tank Talk," the hosts discuss the decision by the U.S. and Germany to send M1 Abrams and Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine. While the Leopard tanks may arrive within weeks, the Abrams tanks are expected to take up to a year as they are being built specifically for this purpose. The move is described as a "coordinated" effort to maintain the appearance of NATO unity.

2:05:33 I'm glad we got a jingles. Thank you Steve Jones, I kind of like me play it again. I'm liking it welcome to I See you have a couple of tank talk clips if I may maybe I should just get us started here Let me see, I think this might be an interesting one. This one how about Martha Raddatz? being sent to help them fight back against the Russians. The US will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine Tonight, Germany and other NATO allies now saying they will send Leopard tanks as well Those tanks could get there even sooner Our Chief Global Affairs Correspondent Martha Raddatz tonight on why this is so significant As Ukraine's Defense Minister says these tanks will be an iron fist against Russian lines

2:06:28 Tonight, with the war in Ukraine about to enter its second year. The Russians now braced to face a fiercer Ukrainian foe armed with sophisticated battle tanks with greater firepower greater lethality. Abrams tanks are the most capable of tanks in the world will enhance the Ukraine's capacity to defend his territory and achieve strategic objectives President Biden announcing that U.S. will send 31 Abrams tanks And the Germans are releasing 14 of their leopard tanks with up to 60 more leopards sent from other European countries. The Pentagon had been reluctant to send American tanks because they are expensive, complex and hard to operate but the offer was finally made today in part to give Germany political cover.

2:07:20 We want to make sure we're all together. That's what we're going do all along, and that's what we are doing right now. The German tanks should begin arriving within weeks the Abrams could take up to a year since the US is building new ones for the Ukrainians not taking them from the U.S. stockpile President Zelensky had requested 300 tanks but today tweeted his thanks to President Biden calling it another powerful decision and an important step on the path to victory. As for those Abrams tanks, they are faster have precision fire and are far superior to most of the Soviet era tanks that Russians are using. That's a couple things... That's the baseline there I guess? Yeah, couple of things

2:08:06 And there was a new piece of information in there, but a couple of things. One is that I'm surprised they used iron fist because Zolensky also said my favorite line which was A Fist Of Tanks! Yes. Fist of tanks! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. I'll say just this whole thing's a fiasco. He said thanks, but it came out tanks so here is the Hold on a second

CHAPTER 37 / 49 Discussion

John Kirby Explains the Shift in Tank Policy

National Security Council spokesman John Kirby appeared on NPR to explain why the U.S. reversed its position on sending Abrams tanks. Despite previous claims that the tanks were too complex and expensive to maintain, Kirby asserts the decision is part of a long-term strategy for a spring offensive. The hosts critique Kirby's "transparent" messaging and the logistical challenges of the deployment.

john kirby· npr· national security council· pentagon· military training

2:08:46 All right, this makes me feel better. So here's Kirby on PBS or I'm sorry not PBS but NPR. This is the guy who was the spokeshole for the Pentagon and now he's kind of a general... No, he's just spokes whole for the National Security Council Right but he does a lot of this from the podium Yeah, because he's like the guy they're trying to get rid of this other woman but you know they don't want to look racist and practicing white supremacy by putting this guy up there all the time. Sliding her out! So they can't do that so here is talking with an interview on NPR trying to explain the whole thing in his a flim-flam guy He never really answers questions he's full as shit this guy I think should be ashamed himself as a Navy officer

2:09:37 and especially an admiral, but here we go. The real question is why last week there was no chance of them getting tanks, now we got tanks. What happened? It's official American tanks are headed to Ukraine the US is sending 31 Abrams tanks a move designed to help Ukraine defend its territory and also designed to send a message to Russia that the U.S. and it's allies are committed to the fight The expectation on the part of Russia is that were going to break up We're not going to stay united, but we are fully thoroughly totally United. President Biden announcing the move today at the White House which is where we now find John Kirby The president spokesman on the National Security Council he joins us live John Kirby welcome back Thank you so much Mary Louise good to be with you Good to have you with us Ukraine as you know has been calling for tanks all through this war the US resisted and resisted and resisted why send them now

2:10:34 Well, we never took tanks off the table and tanks frankly have been in discussion for months. But this was a discussion that we had not only with the Ukrainians but with our allies and partners and we want to make sure with every system we send that we're sending systems appropriate to the fight that the Ukrainians are in and the fight that we think they're going to be in coming weeks and months. And this decision today is really, you've got to take a couple of steps back and look at it in the context of the combined arms training that were doing with Ukrainian battalions right now outside the country. They believe and and we believe they're right to believe that in the spring in the summer months uh... that they are they're going to face uh... russia's coming back in an offensive way and if you want to be able to conduct offensive operations of their own and they wanna do it in a combined arms fashion which means you need to maneuver in open terrain uh... and on vast parts of ground and that means you need

2:11:29 armored capabilities like the Bradleys and the Strikers we sent, and that of course includes tanks. So this decision was really the culmination of weeks of diplomatic conversations about how do we help Ukraine in the fight that we expect them to be in when winter fades and spring and summer months come? Yeah! The fighting season is back So that's a, you know he the question was last week you said no way tanks. Yeah and now it could so he just goes on and on and on He's really good at this by the way yeah, but he's gonna be a much better Guy from the real podium if they get rid of Jean-pierre clandam Karina Karine of Jean Pierre van Damme. Yeah sorry onward

2:12:14 But on the Abrams specifically, the Pentagon's top policy guy, this is Colin Call told reporters just last week that the US was not going to send Abrams. I'm sorry what kind of role are you as the Pentagon's top policy guy? What does that even mean? It means you're getting a big check for doing nothing. But on the Abrams specifically, the Pentagon's top policy guy, this is Colin Kahl told reporters just last week that the US was not going to send Abrams to Ukraine because they're too hard to maintain he said and I quote The Abrams tank is a very complicated piece of equipment it's expensive its hard to train on

2:12:54 John Kirby are these things no longer true all those things are still true Mary Louise John Kirby Mary Louise John Kirby Mary Louise John Kirby Mary Louise John Kirby Mary Louise what are you doing here we have been nothing but open and transparent certainly the Pentagon has been about certain challenges with having uh... you know a foreign military operate and train and maintain the abrams tanks but there are other countries that uh... they purchased abrams tanks in the and our people to operate them until we're confident that the ukrainians can get their i don't think so differences Ukraine is at war when they are in the midst of it have been invasion by hostile neighboring power

2:13:35 and they are losing civilians and troops every day. So we need to make sure that we tailor the delivery of Abrams tanks in a way that the Ukrainians can absorb it effectively Effectively, so that's why we're gonna start with this battalion. That's why it's gonna take many months for them to get there Yeah, but we're not gonna waste time Mary Louise We're going to train those troops were gonna help them put in a supply chain process So that they have the parts and supplies and the technical ability to repair these run-on race tanks It was very confusing what what was your your edits and what was just well they keep going he keeps she's calling him John Kirby Constantly, oh Mary Louie's okay back and forth that way hi it will Adam Curry the way I see it is Oh What do you think John C. Dvorak? Well when I mean this but I think John C. Dvorak is at colon call KHAL is a very evil looking douchebag from the Pentagon

CHAPTER 38 / 49 Discussion

NATO Unity and the Offensive Threat to Russia

The hosts analyze the diplomatic messaging surrounding the tank delivery, noting that President Biden emphasized the tanks are not an "offensive threat" to Russia. However, John Kirby admitted they are a threat to Russian forces within Ukraine. The segment highlights the tension between maintaining a defensive narrative and providing high-lethality weaponry.

nato· russia· escalation· mary louise kelly· diplomacy

2:14:38 Did you look him up? Yeah. What does he do, what's he doing for a living? Well, he is officially the Undersecretary of Defense for Policy but he... Whatever that is. He's at Harvard University Council on Foreign Relations blah blah blah. But he was the Iran deal guy Well, the way I see it. The Pentagon saying one thing, Kirby in the White House they're thinking something else and there was a con...and what she's trying to do is get him to say hey who yes there's a screw-up here right? Yes! And he would he wouldn't do it. No no this is what we said planned all along

2:15:18 So, uh... and then he starts stammering too. And she's pretty good actually this woman Mary Louise or whatever the hell her name is And so she's pretty good at pushing, at least trying to get the question asked twice minimally. Let's go to clip three. Now it's not just Abrams that are headed to Ukraine this announcement was made in tandem with Germany announcing they're going to send leopard tanks. Was the US announcement time to give Germany cover? This was a very coordinated announcement by both the United States and Germany. I mean, we've been talking to our German counterparts now for many weeks. Tanks have been certainly on the agenda. They were on Friday when Secretary Austin was in Ramstein on the Ukraine contact group and today's announcement was very much coordinated with the Germans as it should be. As the President said, we are united. We want to certainly appear as though we are united because again that is really important too

2:16:19 That's pretty funny. We want to at least appear to be united, I mean that's important too! We want to certainly appear as though we are united because again that is really important too Yeah fakery is phony! No, President Biden went out Wait...that was Kirby with the truth coming out Yes of course and she even goes nyah Like she knows, she knows this is horse crap.

2:17:05 It's not an offensive threat to Russia. There is no offensive threat to Russia Can you elaborate on the messaging going on there? We have been from the very beginning Not interested in having this war Ukraine escalates to make it what Putin claims it is a war of us versus Russia, it's not and we don't want to see the war escalate to that level. That wouldn't be good for us, Russia certainly wouldn't be good for Ukraine so the president's comments today were entirely consistent with how he has talked about this war from the very beginning. Idiots! And the Russian propaganda today you know they're out there saying that these tanks are an escalation and they're an offensive threat and the president wanted to get ahead of it and make it clear that they're not now look

2:17:52 Mary Louie, they are absolutely a threat to Russian forces inside Ukraine. They need to know that and understand that these are very capable tanks. Oh man! She's not having it. That is actually pretty impressive. Yeah I mean she is not getting anywhere but... Shes actually a West German woman Ah, so that's why she has a problem with that. I looked it up because I kept saying she has this... It's not really an accent but her presentation style is just its got a little something with her voice and I'm thinking who is this? So I looked her up and she is originally from West Germany Oh! I have some German clips we can check that in a minute

2:18:34 So let's go with the, I think this is the last one coming up. But that's my last question in the few seconds we have left. How big a game changer does the White House expect these US tanks to be? What we do think will be a significant enhanced capability for Ukraine is all of the armored capability you've got to keep it in context of everything that being given to Ukraine here for their combined arms operations and the tanks are part of that they are significant, they will have a significant impact and that's why quite frankly we gave them the equivalent of one Ukrainian battalion so it wasn't some symbolic gesture. It was actually to have an operational impact." Okay okay she says well this is very interesting here is the German foreign minister telling us exactly who this war really is against and between who? And therefore I should mention this German foreign minister

CHAPTER 39 / 49 Discussion

German Military Readiness and Foreign Minister's Gaffe

German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock caused a stir by stating in the European Parliament that Europe is "fighting a war against Russia." Meanwhile, reports on the German military (Bundeswehr) reveal severe shortages of basic equipment, including radio gear from the 1980s, waterproof jackets, and even underwear, with soldiers reportedly training with broomsticks instead of guns.

annalena baerbock· bundeswehr· germany· military equipment· european parliament

2:19:27 She lied about her credentials. He had to give her diploma back She's very young you just do just look at it like oh, man I just don't like you she got one of those faces So she's one of those people that wormed your way into office somehow yeah and not hard enough now also know that I think we talked about the debt The the people who are running in the German cabinet there really are a bunch of losers You know the the defense minister, she had to leave. You recall? Because she wore high heels or whatever they're just trying to get rid of people any way they can so she's still in here she is in the European Parliament and therefore I've said already in the last days yes we have to do more to defend Ukraine Yes! We have to do more also on tanks but the most important and the crucial part is that we do it together and that we do not do the blame game

2:20:24 in Europe because we are fighting a war against Russia and not against each other. Thank you. Oh, okay! Thank you Madam Minister So not Ukraine against Russia? We are fighting Russia. Thank You Foreign Minister that's really great Now let's go take a look... That screws up the messaging Here is Deutsche Welle German news television with a little introduction of a longer report about the state of the German military. Germany's military is short of money, equipment and staff and it has been for years! The Bundeswehr regularly hits headlines with embarrassing stories

2:21:06 Radio equipment from the 80s, a mass breakdown of Puma vehicles, lack of basic underwear and waterproof jackets and training not with machine guns but broomsticks? So when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022 the inspector of the German army issued a stark warning. The Bundeswehr, the army that I have a duty to lead is standing there more or less empty-handed. It was a wake up call! The invasion sparked a massive policy shift with the war on European soil Germany's military suddenly became a priority So they had no underwear? That seems pretty basic for your fighting force and instead of training with machine guns they use broomsticks

2:21:52 And this is, actually doing this in front of the I guess the Air Force and these planes are all decrepit and look like crap. And I'm sure it's some internal programming that's going on for for the Germans but This is all very very odd what's taking place now? Now I have two messages from military people who I know personally Who are not in Ukraine but in surrounding European states such as Poland will be one. And this is not really reported on, but there are many mercs in Ukraine fighting mercenaries US mercenaries My signal timeline is just filled every day Oh here's this mercenary got killed got killed and now the mercenaries guys predominantly guys There are some women who will go anywhere to kill for money

CHAPTER 40 / 49 Discussion

Russian Interest in Abandoned US Gear in Afghanistan

Reports suggest that Russia is negotiating with the Taliban to acquire $80 billion worth of U.S. military equipment left behind during the withdrawal from Afghanistan. This gear includes night vision goggles, Humvees, and helicopters. The hosts compare this to historical instances where American materials were repurposed by adversaries during wartime.

afghanistan· taliban· russia· military equipment· biden

2:22:51 Pretty much. They are stopping, they are leaving because they say Ukraine is losing the corruption is out of control tanks will not help you Ukraine they're running out of experienced fighters now the second message I got this is very interesting Now this from a guy in Poland that first one? Yes Okay Second One And the Polish milieu Is really anti-Russian And it would be so be tilted a little bit and if it would the message I don't know what that means. Let me put it this way He's not European, you know, so there's mercenaries there when we just repeat that Here's here's another one just a little cryptic but I'll just read it Russia is about to buy all the US gear left behind in Afghanistan

2:23:46 Russia will recognize the Taliban, will replace US gear with Russian made gear. This will include the latest US night vision goggles, MRAP helicopters etc Afghan soldiers trained by The U.S left behind Afghanistan are fighting on the Russian side against Ukraine as well There was an article in the Sun that went on about that 80 billion dollars worth of gear that we left behind or by us, let's make it just be straightforward. By Biden! Biden left behind eighty billion dollars in Humvees and bullets and choppers and everything you know they popped a hole in a couple of tires instead they're good to go

2:24:34 The Russians supposedly, according to the Sun out of the UK are eyeballing this stuff because the Taliban is not using it. I mean they probably use the rifles there's a bunch of AK-47s. Yeah they shoot the AKs. Sure whatever and so the Russians are gonna Supposedly it makes sense that they do a deal with the Taliban even though there were once enemies and saying look we're gonna be friends because no one else is recognizing you. We're gonna do that, we're gonna give you some money cause these guys are starving is the coldest winter ever for the last 15 years I think is what they say in Afghanistan people are dying on the streets and will help you with some cash but give us all this stuff which just ship it out of here cause its just rotting where your not doing anything with it

2:25:19 So the Russians get all this gear and attack us with it. This is classic American not us Ukraine I mean there you know they attacked Ukraine with it yeah, yeah well, I'm sorry did I say us? Yeah? Yeah little faux pas there But they're gonna attack Ukraine with it And this is reminding me of a story that somebody used to always tried them during the World War two The city of Fresno and most of the cities around the United States tore up all their trolley tracks all over the place to put in buses at the behest of Firestone, General Motors and I think Standard Oil if you remember. It's a big scandal! All the trolley tracks are chopped up and sent to Japan to make bullets so this kind of thing is what we're really good at doing. Yeah... Gear for both sides comes from us

Ukrainian Corruption Scandals and NATO Stockpile Depletion

The New York Times reports that NATO countries are scrambling to replenish their own ammunition stockpiles as Ukraine burns through weaponry at a pace not seen since World War II. Simultaneously, several high-ranking Ukrainian officials have resigned amid a corruption scandal involving the misuse of funds and luxury lifestyles, threatening the country's credit rating.

ukraine· corruption· nato· ammunition· new york times

2:26:16 There's a lot of people catching on to all the, you know... A whole bunch of Ukrainian officials had to resign. wasn't really big news I think it was on in that I didn't get any close but as a show at lot of clips about they're trying to put the clamp down on corruption so they don't have this reputation right except all the pictures that they have and all the tweets are of billionaires Driving sports cars, getting mansions in Poland taking luxury vacations. You know it's a mess because they got all the money They got all the money we know exactly how that goes Then I have this is kind of interesting where we're at now New York Times US and NATO scrambled to arm Ukraine and refill their own arsenals As it turns out...I think I said on the last show that we probably have about a week's worth of ammo and stuff Now The New York Times reports on it

2:27:17 Nine months into the war, the West's fundamental unpreparedness has set off a mad scramble to supply Ukraine with what it needs while also replenishing NATO stockpiles as both sides burn through weaponry and ammunition at a pace not seen since World War II. The competition to keep arsenals flush has become a critical front that could prove decisive to Ukraine's effort." Yeah, what yeah? Why don't they tap the stockpile of ammunition that we already have in this given it all away No no I'm talking about the stuff that the IRS has oh Good one Johnny boy. I like that yeah the IRS and Who else has guns here there's a couple of stockpiles around it We've created It's not but the iris doesn't have tanks that we know of

2:28:03 Well, again... The New York Times did report Ukraine fires officials amid corruption scandal as allies watch closely. This thing is melting down into crap and Fitch the ratings agency reports Ukraine is spiraling towards default. This is, all of this has disaster written all over it. So how are we going to get our money back on this investment? We're not... well we'll make Europe the EU pay us for it. Somebody's got a piss! Of course and then we have some predictive programming once again from Deutsche Welle Norwegian Navy Chief Huna Andersson inspects

CHAPTER 42 / 49 Discussion

Pipeline Security and News Literacy Week

Norway has heightened its military readiness to protect 9,000 kilometers of underwater pipelines following the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines. The hosts also acknowledge "News Literacy Week," mocking the mainstream media's efforts to define "credible information" while they encourage listeners to deconstruct all sources.

2:28:45 a frigate docked on Norway's western coast. Ships like these monitor Norway's territorial waters, and above all what lies on their seabed. Oil and gas pipelines needed to supply many European countries. We can't control everything that happens underwater, but information provided by energy producers combined with military intelligence give us a rather detailed overview of the pipeline network below Norway has to protect some 9000 kilometers of underwater pipelines and cables And, in addition, oil and gas installations at sea and on land. Norwegian military forces are on patrol around the clock. Acts of sabotage are a legitimate threat. The fear became more real after parts of the Nord Stream Gas Pipelines were blown up last September. Norway is also vulnerable. That's why last October Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gar Stører said Norway's armed forces have heightened their defensive readiness

2:29:50 So, because of course we know Russia blew up their own pipeline. So now... Now we have to watch for it's gonna be pipeline wars. They're going to be blowing up pipelines left and right this is what it's really all about It's all about the energy who controls the energy with huge problem Because the winter didn't turn out to be as cold as they expected it to be so of course natural gas prices dropped That was never the plan And I don't know if it's because we didn't flip on harp like we agreed to or whatever, something went wrong there. So this is an actual shit show

2:30:31 I'm not sure how they're gonna get out of it, but I would like to remind everybody that is news literacy week So don't take our word for it. We don't know anything we're drowning in information And it's harder than ever To separate what's trustworthy from what's not But we can learn to see through the tricks and tactics of bad actors develop sound habits upon better filter our sources and elevate more credible information. Together we can stop the flood of misinformation. Let's care before we share learn how at newsliteracyweek.org There you go!

2:31:07 Don't trust us, trust your trusted sources. Well that's funny because there was a clip I think I got this from France 24 where the Germans are complaining about the way information is being passed back and forth and getting now they're seeing themselves as being blamed blamed when the French don't do anything they don't do jack. They have some tank that they're sending, they have a tank when they find the coal... Find the keys and we'll drive out of here Ukraine Germans responsibility clip You can stop it if you want.

CHAPTER 43 / 49 Discussion

Franco-German Tensions and Ukrainian Conscription

Analysts discuss the communication gap between France and Germany, noting that France provides less aid to Ukraine but manages its public image more effectively. The hosts speculate on the historical tendency for European powers to eventually turn on each other. They also discuss reports of forced conscription of teenagers in Ukraine as the war of attrition continues.

2:30:31 I'm not sure how they're gonna get out of it, but I would like to remind everybody that is news literacy week So don't take our word for it.

2:32:02 will be seen by Moscow, as I said as an escalation. But last week I spoke to an analyst and he said if we look ahead look at peace talks for instance you first need to de-escalate and then you can have peace talks but it seems like peace talks are not on the table right now when it comes to of importance really for Germany? Well I mean I think that all has to be seen on the background that Russia is getting ready for a new offense. I mean they announced that they will mobilize another couple of hundred thousand of the new soldiers, they haven't started yet but i think that's something on their horizon so I think Ukraine is standing actually with back to their walls and we have to help them here. On the other hand

2:32:50 When it comes to France and Germany, the interesting thing is that France is actually giving less aid, less weapons to Ukraine than Germany. And France is getting away with that much better I think that has a lot to do with the communication skills of Mr Macron. Yes! Vive la tank! or the lack thereof from Mr. Scholz? Does it just come down to bad communication on the part of the Germans that they get unnecessarily singled out? Man, what are the chances... What are the chances that this thing ultimately devolves into what always happens with war in Europe? What are the chances we wind up the Germans and French shooting at each other

2:33:37 It always happens. Every war is the Germans and the French. Well, this would be a convoluted way of going about it that's for sure but yeah I mean it's always that... It's always that! I'm sure you could figure out some way to make that work. It's really really insane and where does it? You know I'm seeing and hearing again same sources. Remember it's disinformation week so i'm probably a Putin puppet but, I am seeing and hearing that they are and I am seeing video that they're rounding up 16-17 year old boys in Ukraine to be sent to fight! They've been throwing them in vans off you go anybody who has the penis is being rounded up and thrown into the fight

CHAPTER 44 / 49 Discussion

Geopolitical Strategy to Weaken the European Union

The hosts propose a theory that the prolonged conflict in Ukraine serves to weaken the European Union's economy, particularly Germany's industrial base. They discuss EU complaints regarding U.S. green energy subsidies and suggest the ultimate goal may be a new "Marshall Plan" that increases American dominance over a fractured Europe.

european union· ursula von der leyen· green energy· subsidies· marshall plan

2:34:25 I can see that. This is horrible! What you do? 16 and 7, this is horrible... what is the endgame besides France and Germany? Well the end game, if the United States And this is what I think we've lost people who are big supporters of this with the little Ukraine flag and all. Yeah, a lot. If the United States just said okay well this has to stop it has to stop immediately you know everyone has go to table we're gonna make a deal here and end this tomorrow that would happen but we're helping drag it on it was almost like again full rebelization and rebuild

2:35:06 Okay, well they're gonna get that but the only already got to I think it again if their crowd out is full because some of the cities haven't been really touched But there's a whole area does lot of this country has been rubble eyes Yes, you read and rebuild talks are already underway. Mm-hmm If they go into default and we have a financial issue here This is gonna be problematic And I hate to use that word yeah now and me I'm so it's gonna be in issue because What are you going to do then? Who's gonna... maybe the whole idea is put him in the default so we get it all for free. I'm shocked, shocked to find out that rubalization is going on here! Ladies and gentlemen It is time to rubalize! There's our battle cry Well your right everyone is ready they've already talked about the rebuilding

2:35:59 But what will happen, we're clearly not going to nuke Moscow there. No one's nuking Moscow! That doesn't make any sense so they just wait until the blue and yellow flag is waved? Like oh well... They still it's a PR nightmare how do you get rid of the Putin problem? It's a nightmare Well you can't get rid of Putin because it's not gonna happen They couldn't get rid of Fidel Castro. They're not going to get rid of Putin and they're gonna have to do a deal with him And I think that's a loss of faith. It is going to let little more rebelization take place, get rid of some more gear We're never gonna build those tanks for Ukraine That's bullcrap! They're getting no Bradley tanks That was just to get rid of some you know or put the Germans in a corner? I'm not sure what the point of that was because it's not gonna happen they said So then that report which was quite interesting they may not get two tanks for a year Well, are we gonna let this thing drag on for a year? If if if you can

2:37:02 Weaken Germany to the extent that they cannot make you weaken all of the EU. Maybe this whole thing is just America going Hey remember, let's okay now we're getting somewhere if maybe the whole idea is Just too weakened the European Union for no whatever purpose I'm sure it's money or money It's always come down to money Isn't that exactly what happened at the start of this bullcrap in 2014? Maybe that's still in play. F the EU! If Germany is down, the EU has nothing. What do they have except for if German production, German economy dies which it seems holds up to EU It does

2:38:02 Everyone knows that I mean when the great one UK was involved at Jimmy which worse Hard to say we were behind the brexit, but the Brexit plays into this thesis Yeah Definitely and in that little clip that I had there about two French You know just kind of hands off on this whole thing. It's looking like they're doing something not doing anything German being pushed a limit here another lot of the tanks like the tanks in Netherlands They may go to Ukraine and those things dude. They have least they have two-and-a-half tank Well, take their two and a half tanks and get rid of them. Yeah could be I mean I like the idea of weakening the EU it's always been a thorn in the side of the American market well yeah It was just an economic situation The idea that they're all ganging up into one big group and getting rid of their borders and trying to make a big giant country We weren't happy about that was it? It was just gonna be the Fourth Reich This makes a lot of sense because we have the EU particular

2:38:59 Queen Ursula complaining about the subsidies that we're giving to our green energy companies and they're complaining. They are all over Davos, complaining we can't compete let's compete fairly on product and quality no lady! No way queen Ursula were out to screw you So then when the EU is weak and when they're falling apart, and I also have a feeling that we have Fifi Lagarde running the central bank. She's probably in on it Then we get them the new Marshall Plan And then we own the EU like our bitch What do you say? I like it yeah

He has pleaded not guilty

FBI Official Charles McGonigal Indicted for Russian Ties

Charles McGonigal, the former head of FBI counterintelligence in New York, has been indicted for allegedly working for sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska. McGonigal, who was involved in the initial investigation into Donald Trump's Russian connections, is accused of trying to get Deripaska off the sanctions list in exchange for payments.

2:40:17 Yeah, one of the guys behind going after Trump for connections to Russia. What irony!

CHAPTER 46 / 49 Discussion

Ukraine Requests F-16 Fighter Jets

Following the approval of battle tanks, Ukrainian President Zelensky has begun a public push for Western fighter jets, specifically F-16s. The hosts note the pattern of "incremental" aid where systems previously deemed off-limits are eventually provided. They observe that NATO remains publicly united despite the escalating nature of the requests.

2:40:58 Because they're gonna put it on their car and this is like a real league she's in you know, this is she's racing. She's not a slouch at all And she's getting somewhere and um You know We can't afford to sponsor her but at least we can you know? We can give her some exposure Give us some by putting a badge on your car We will help you People are like hey what's that Noah Jenner thing and then we'll talk about it and they'll say yeah well she's a sponsor All right, we only have the one last and this replaces the tank tank tanks. And we said that we weren't going to talk about tanks anymore. We talked about it anyway I'm happy talking about tanks The new thing of course is gonna be the F-16 Tomcat Oh That's what they want now This guy never lets up You mean Zelensky? Yeah you're gonna hear this same kind of tank talk it's not gonna be talked about the fighter jets

2:41:55 And let's play this clip here, which is Ukraine more and more and more. I think there is a mention of it in here. Let me just pick up on what Rob was saying that we've seen this very intense focus on tanks recently In some ways its overshadowed some other key developments Ukraine has received more pledges, more heavy weapons in the past month than at any time since the war began The US and others have promised patriots another air defense systems to guard against Russian missiles We've seen hundreds of armored vehicles that have been pledged and now the tanks. Now all of this sends a clear signal that the US and NATO remain united, which many had questioned that would happen, and they're stepping up support for Ukraine In contrast we've been hearing Russia is turning to Iran in North Korea for weapons far less than cutting edge

2:42:47 Now the reason I played that clip is because it turns out within the last couple months he's right. We've get more money than ever even though their number of soldiers has dropped off to far less than cutting edge and you got the far less than cutting-edge crap That's us! No agenda Adam Curry John C. Dvorak, far less than cutting edge Join us twice a week I think we are cutting edge. It's disinformation week, okay? Okay, i'm gonna switch and I know what you have to...I know what you want to play before We leave so I've seen it not necessarily I mean we could leave now well I want a need to play this clip. It is just too beautiful a clip there's a lot of

CHAPTER 47 / 49 Discussion

Project Veritas Pfizer Sting and Jordan Tristan Walker

Project Veritas released a video featuring a Pfizer employee, Jordan Tristan Walker, discussing "directed evolution" to preemptively develop vaccines for COVID-19 variants. The hosts debate the significance of the video and the actual seniority of Walker within the company, noting his background with the Boston Consulting Group.

project veritas· pfizer· jordan tristan walker· gain of function· directed evolution

2:43:42 There's a lot of COVID stuff, of course. I know we talked about some of it... I just wanted to mention that the Project Veritas Pfizer... Oh yeah! We need to talk about this. Yeah well i'm not going to play it but I just want to say... Boys you need at least give a background on for people who don't know what are talking about I think the title is Pfizer R&D exec says we're going to, you know they're going to manipulate the COVID virus not gain a function but manipulate the COVID virus so that they can morph their... his name is Jordan Tristan Walker. So if they can morph their vaccine and keep the gravy train going but let's just point out

2:44:31 This guy is, you know he is kind of like a... He's like a... What is the word I'm looking for? He's not a scientist. He's not an engineer. He's uh.. Like a policy guy and I just look at this guy on that... I mean he's too nutty To even think it's if this is what is in Pfizer then we'll all be dead within a year. If these people really are running Pfizer, that that's really frightening but he is not that important the guy he is He's really just like almost like that policy guy and the Pentagon And so I just you know and one of our nights Is the executive director at Project Veritas? And I appreciate him a lot

2:45:16 But man, there's a lot of information about this guy really not being you know like the big Pfizer executive that he come...that he's titled to be. He's on loan from the Boston Consulting Group so that tells you enough right there understand? You hear me now? The Boston Consulting Group they're scam artists in my opinion You know, they send people in and they got some papers. Consulting group and scam artists using this a redundant terms? I'm sorry you know Yaley he was one of the vaccine confidence team members that created the strategy to get us to take this thing in the first place And just that...you saw the video I mean the guy looks

2:46:06 Like he's out of control. His eyes are all rolling up in his head and he's just, He's like me when I'm you know Tourette-ing too much It's really... If we haven't seen it's really really really Just I don't know. I like Project Veritas. I like what they do This was not the one for me How about you? Well i didn't think much about it Okay I was not a It sounds a little better, that's the plus. Oh no! That's because of us we gave him all the... I don't know that Marshall actually did any work for it No no no i sent him to the Adobe sound filter which now that i think about okay that helps i should have run that on our on our meetup report sorry that something i should have thought about so just a quick note on COVID itself by the way we were talking about injectables

CHAPTER 48 / 49 Discussion

Morning Joe Hosts Debate COVID Boosters and Fatigue

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski had an on-air disagreement regarding the severity of Scarborough's COVID-19 infection. While Scarborough claimed the vaccine made his illness mild, Brzezinski pointed out he was fatigued for three months. The segment highlights the hosts' continued promotion of boosters despite their own experiences with breakthrough infections.

joe scarborough· mika brzezinski· msnbc· covid-19· boosters

2:46:58 An article in Allure magazine, could the COVID-19 vaccine make Botox less effective? So yeah you get your booster. You get your shot, your second shot, you get your booster, get your fourth booster and then you need some more Botox I mean why not who sells the Botox does Pfizer sell Botox? No i don't think so. Who knows? Gilead is it Gilead is it who is they advertise it Pfizer no Pfizer's injection of Botox. Okay well they got some good move good one boys vertical marketing is genius now the clip I wanted to play is of Morning Joe Mika Brzezinski and then the morning Joe guy what's his name? Joe Scarborough and this is such a beautiful clip because they really contradict each

2:47:53 everything that they're saying and that they have said about the COVID vaccine. And it's just a thing of beauty, I can't believe... They should've done what Joe Rogan did. They should've just bleeped it and put a big... big blotch over their faces because this is counter to the, it's counterintuitive. In Massachusetts the Republican reports the FDA is considering offering yearly COVID-19 boosters. The agency wants to simplify the process to look more like the flu vaccine saying most people may only need one dose of the latest covid shot to restore protection

2:48:29 An advisory committee is scheduled to meet Thursday and will be asked to vote on the plan. You know, it's interesting I had not gotten my COVID booster Which one? The fourth? The fourth because we went to lunch Let's just pause for a moment there He had not gotten his 4th booster! It's worth noting. got knocked down. Then got COVID, yeah. Got completely knocked down for a while Yes you did. Months. Exactly. Months! You were knocked down for months? Months months now he's gonna say no it wasn't months but remember these two are married

2:49:20 I think they still live together. She says much, she would know Yes because she sleeps with him Months? Yes No it was a long time So anyway weeks, let's take teenagers to weeks It took three months Three months! Now i have not been jabbed or boosted I've had COVID twice two weeks Two weeks. Tina, same as she did get whatever the latest thing is which might be it might be that manipulated thing that the Pfizer nut job was talking about but people I know have tested there's not is not COVID in fact Joe security guys are talking to them about it said not attested because they have to test wasn't COVID wasn't RSV wasn't flu It was something new knocked him out two weeks two weeks but three vaccinations

2:50:14 Joe Scarborough three months from the COVID so it's safe and effective. It took weeks, I was fatigued for a long time. It took 3 months! I'll say it is very interesting though because... Now just as an aside, it sounds to me like he knows the deal like he almost wants to say shut up Biatch don't you know the deal we have with Pfizer? Stop it with your three months and she's just dumb so she's being honest. It was weeks, I was fatigued for a long time. Three months! I'll say it's very interesting though because... Wait hold on yeah so that's a good example of what you said because instead he even said to himself I can't keep arguing about this with her cuz she'll still save four months or who knows what

2:51:02 I'm just gonna blow by it. That's what he does, he doesn't even acknowledge the three-month assertion. So i think he knows. It took three months! I was fatigued for a long time. I'll say it's very interesting though because we're learning a lot more about what your resistance to COVID may be. What was that back in September? Just got my checkup And the antibodies are like at 100% right now. So this is good, so a hundred percent antibody charge? I didn't know they had a test for that

2:51:39 Antibodies to what? What antibodies do you have a blood test and it says oh this guy your your antibodies are 100% Well I don't know if they can test 100%, but i believe there is an antibody test yes, some pretty sure that in fact they was offered to me not this time but previous times at Rogan. Do you want any body tests yeah! And of course had no antibodies meaning I had not been boosted had not gotten COVID either So now he's on the train of antibodies and I guess now he's boosted. He's got his fourth booster, and he's feeling great! Did he get the fourth? Good to go Yeah, he just got it. He went to London... He got the third one, went to London, got the coup for three months Weeks?! Three months Now he got his fourth, his checkup You gotta check up And he's 100%! 100%, 100%. Interesting By the way that's interesting

2:52:33 my checkup and the antibodies are like at a hundred percent right now. Interesting. So it kind of works out but again we found out that we found out the boosters, the vaccines they don't stop the disease? We found this out! Wow, they're right on top of it. But they certainly do make a big impact instead of me being down for months with fatigue if I'd taken the booster i would have probably sneezed Okay hold on a second Oh brother what logic! I love this logic So and if he had taken the booster you wouldn't have been down for months No no... He would've maybe sneezed Just a sneeze... A-chu And said what was that? And kept going And said what was that

2:53:17 You know why? Because it's safe and effective, and you won't go to the hospital. With fatigue if I'd taken the booster... ...I would have probably sneezed and said what was that and kept going. That's the difference! And I love when people say oh because of the difference so you still get COVID. Oh hold on a second he's doing Adam & John. Hold on a second. He's doing us. He's doing impressions now Fatigue, if I'd taken the booster. I would have probably sneezed and said what was that? And kept going. That's the difference and so i love when people go oh i'm not gonna because it differs you still get covid now that's that's not the purpose of it that's never been the purpose of the flu shot and so it builds up your resistance just like actually getting covid builds up your resistance to keep you from listening so do yourself a favor right

2:54:02 and get off the websites that Chinese religious cults are... Who is it? Is he talking about Falun Gong, is that what he's talking about? The Epoch Times. He's talking about the Epoch Times Get off that website! Remember, it is National Misinformation Week So it builds up your resistance just like actually getting COVID builds up your resistance Keep you from going to hospital Do yourself Exactly It'll keep you out of the hospital A favor right and get off the websites that Chinese religious cults are putting as a front so they can get a stronghold in America, and in your mind. Wait a minute! We don't want... I don't understand why all of a sudden do we have to stop? Get off the Chinese web sites because they're getting a stronghold on America in your mind?!

2:54:53 This is very odd. And get off the websites that Chinese religious cults are putting as a front so they can get a stronghold in America and, in your mind... Get yourself a booster shot! It's important. BOOST! BOOST! Boost boost boost! BOOST! Unbelievable. Boost boost boost! These people are crazy That is nuts. And if they actually take it, I fear for their well-being. I'm a little worried about that. Not for them but for the show! What will we do? If we lose Joe and Mika that's kind of like a go to deal. Luckily they're not foundational to this show

Show Outro and "Prince Harry" Parody Song

The show concludes with the "Prince Harry" parody song and a final sign-off from Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak. They credit the producers of the end-of-show mix and remind listeners to return for the Sunday episode. The hosts reiterate their "far less than cutting edge" branding and offer a final "adios mofos."

Coming up next on noagendastream.com in the troll room unrelenting Sir Gene Naftoliou and Sir Darren O'Neill coming to you from the heart of Texas Hill Country here in FEMA Region number 6, In The Morning everybody I'm Adam Curry. And from Northern Silicon Valley where we're planting our seeds I'm John C. Duvorak We return on Sunday Us and our seeds right here on NOAGENDER. Remember us at thevorac.org slash NA until then adios mofos a hooey hooey and such We have lots to talk about here, you know we are three years later people are still trying to figure out where we go with COVID what do you see as the path forward? So the virus will continue being with us and health care priorities

2:57:22 because it was our own investigation and the mother is passing antibodies to the fetus. And so I think they... and the waves will be coming. So when we do a development of vaccines, it's amazing that anyway pretty soon cancer or other diseases will see the benefits of mRNA technology. Let's hope Albert Borla we are ready for the next thing because there will still be a next thing
